after more than a year, i am back in the birthplace (country) of my blog. although here for just 3 hours, barring any major delay. i hope there wont be.
and im using my favorite japanese phrase again – wakarimasen (i dont understand). although now i have an eigo onegai shimasu (english please) to back it up. hehe. hope i spelled them correctly. im pretty sure i pronounced them right though. 
anyway, why am i saying that today, the 12th july would be the longest day ever?
but first, a flashback (INSERT MUSIC HERE. BLUR TRANSTION. hehe)

the word’s out
Leonard: She (Penny) thinks I’m too smart for her. That’s ridiculous.
Sheldon: I know. Most of your work are highly derivative. Don’t worry, that’s not a secret. Everybody knows.
(Big Bang Theory Season 2 Episode 1: Bad Fish Paradigm)
This was the conversation between Leonard Hofstadter and a ‘drugged’ Sheldon Cooper regarding Penny and Sheldon’s secret. Don’t recognize any of the names i mentioned? Watch the ‘Big Bang Theory‘. I love this show. The new season can’t come soon enough.
What has this quote have to do with anything? Nothing, really. Just remembered this scene when i planned to start this post with ‘everybody knows.’ a sure sign that i’m certified addict. :p watched every episode about 10 times.
anyway, let’s head away from the filler texts and resume my ‘countdown.’

the countdown begins
still have a month but i have started packing. well sort of.
with the dorm undergoing renovations next month, we have been ‘kicked out’ of our old rooms. many of our dormmates had to move to another dorm for the time being. meanwhile, the ‘oldies’ (those who have stayed in the dorm for a longer time) can call dibs on the remaining rooms.
with more than 3 years of service to philrice, i am official ancient. :p anyway, with my moving to a new room, i have decided to start categorizing my stuff: to bring, to throw out, and to give away.

judging by the recent posts, this is turning into a travel blog. hehehe
had the opportunity to travel to davao the other week. it is technically my second time to set foot in this really clean city but the first time, i only saw the hotel, an intenet shop, and the airport. we just dropped by davao to take the plane back to manila.
anyway, since this was an official trip, didn’t get the chance to see any of the famous tourist destinations, except people’s park.

awesome!
a hill, by itself, is unremarkable. who has not seen this mound of earth? but place 1,268 perfectly cone-shaped hills of about the same size, spread over an area of more than 50 square kilometres and you got an incredible site. no wonder the chocolate hills are famous. add all the other attractions in bohol and you got a tourism paradise, making it the perfect destination for the devcomm division summer getaway. welcome to bohol!

Shepard Fairey "Vote Earth" digital poster
so, who’s afraid of the dark?
switch off your lights for earth hour 2009, saturday (march 28) 8:30-9:30PM.
“This year’s Earth Hour is being touted as a showdown between Earth and global warming: The blacker the night on March 28th, the more clearly the world will have shown their awareness of the issue…by not showing anything at all.”
let’s join the world in saving mother earth. please spread the word.

been to romblon :)
while romblon was never in my “to go to” list, i still felt a certain excitement at the chance of visiting this island province. romblon is the philippines’ leading producer of high-quality marble, which, according to wikipedia, is comparable with the marble produced by italy. nope wasn’t excited because of the marble. not planning of building a monument. well, at least not yet. :p
fly seair... 
we were heading to the municipality of calatrava in tablas island. tablas is only 45 minutes by light aircraft. riding a 32-seater donier 328 aircraft instead of the usual airbus may be a big reason why i was dying to take the trip. i really did not know what to expect in romblon so its great that just the flight would make the trip worth taking.

as i write this, i am in the slow, tedious process of recovering from what could possibly be the worst 5 days ever. some events happened because i was careless and stupid. others just plain bad luck (or i was just really stupid. hehehe)
last friday, i was just about ready to pack my bags and spend my weekend with my brothers in manila when i got a “rush assignment.” wait a minute, rush may be a bit of an understatement. i needed to make a video (from concept until final product) by sunday afternoon. tuesday would have been fine but i had on official trip on monday and tuesday in iloilo. i wanted to make a separate blog entry about iloilo but i absolutely have nothing to say about it. didn’t really go anywhere but the farmers’ fields , SM City mall, and the hotel.
anyway, back to the story – rush assignment. this isn’t even part of the bad things that happened yet.

take control
i have always been a passenger. actually, i prefer being a passenger. so, i do not need to know all the twists and turns of every corner. nor do i need to be alert throughout the (sometimes) long trips. and the best part: i can sleep!!!
but suddenly, i found myself thrown into the driver seat. both of my older brothers (who have logged way more miles in the driver seat than i) had to leave earlier so i had to be designated driver for the remainder of the Christmas break.
