"The universe will expand, it will collapse, then expand again. Any mistake you've had before you try to get it right...NOW, because NOW is the only time you have" - Prot in K-Pax.
1. K-Pax- (May 29) first time seen in LA last November
2. The Bolier Room(May 28) on video
3. About the Boy- (May 26) on video not yet finished
4. Spiderman - (May 25) 4th time and was among 7 people who saw it in spanking new GB3
5. In the Bedroom- (May 24) was among 5 people who saw it in spanking new Podium
5. The battle of the new Cinemas : The Podium (I saw "In the Bedroom") and hotel-like Greenbelt 3 ( had the chutzpah to ask to be allowed inside for 20 minutes - I told the hotel-dressed bellboy that I am from the press). Both are flat out great. Carpeted. High back chairs, Greenbelt has even reclinable arm rests, so you can have lil baby seat in between mommy and daddy. Great sound and clear screen (no feather or lint-shaped objects seen on the widescreen). Although both are high priced at P 120 for Podium and P 130 for Greenbelt 3. So however great they may be, it is steep for Filipino standards.
4. CPK night out with Zobel friends. One great joke running everytime is that if you total our gross weight from 20 years ago, it will total the same as now. haha. I am one of those who gained weight. Heavily.
3. Long distance Instant Messenging for 2 hours with Michele. It really feels good. Beats out anything when you can exchange ideas, brainstorm on travel plans, and even share innermost thoughts and feelings. I liken it to a different level of communion and prayer.
2. Lakers lose big.
1. Lola Meding's Video showing with Mama, May and Bingo. It feels good seeing family to be this strongly bound. I am proud of our family.
5. SUNDAY, May 19
What's me to do? I splurge on CDR titles of 80s music and re-discovered 3 CDs to bring back memories of yore of my youth. Have you heard the mix of Blue Zoo's Love Moves with the Intro of U2's With of Without You? What about the mix of Melt With You by Modern English and Seona Dancing's "More to Lose"? This is the CD I have been looking for!
Oh one more, Lakers won game 1 vs. the Kings. Michele and I saw the great first quarter (Lakers made 9 out of the first 10 shot attempts) at the waiting lounge of Cebu's Mactan International Airport.
4. MONDAY, May 20
boring day. My laptop wanted to give up on me. But I wanted it resuscitated. Finally it broke down.
3. TUESDAY, May 21
Discovered this card game - NBA Showdown. It reminded of a card game I created on my own when I was 10 years old from cut-out pictures of NBA All-Stars from magazines. Then like the game super-trump you beat your opponent with your player card's which have stats like Height, Weight, Jersey Number and Point Average. Sad to say, I didnt have it patented. hehehe
2. WEDNESDAY, May 22
Attended Prayer Meeting at Sanctuario San Antonio. Had late dinner at the Dish Powerplant. Wanted to watch "In the Bedroom" or "Panic Room". I heard both films were noteworthy. But I didnt. Just had coffee and went home to my room. My own bedroom. No panic.
1. THURSDAY, May 23.

5. MONDAY, May 13
On Monday, we got her new driver’s license renewed in less than an hour, now she can drive back in the autobahn at the normal speed of 140 kph.. Felt like a celebrity couple with some video shoots (Take 1, take note) for my lola’s birthday video. Packed up at 8:45 pm.
4. TUESDAY, May 14
Then on Tuesday, we went to the 3 H’s – Health (the doctor), Hair Repair (Salon) and Help! (the bank!). I was able to squeeze in work in the middle of the afternoon, with a meeting with clients and early that night, did a report from an internet café. We practically spent the rest of the night in Rockwell’s Powerplant with a dinner with officememates and capping it off with halo-halo with my dad and sister.
Don’t think our night was over since we visited a close couple at 10:30 pm and ended a wholelottaof talk from F1 to death to dogs to fake DVDs. Home at 1 am.
3. WEDNESDAY, May 15
We went back to the doctors where I was able to catch the Lakers-Spurs game at the Xray’s rooms’ lounge. Had lunch with a friend since grade school and went to work. I was fetched at 5pm for some more time with more friends from the office. We attended our first Prayer’s meeting in 4 years and topped it off with “Death with Inihaw” meals at Dencio’s in the Fort.
4. THURSDAY, May 16
Went to San Pablo to visit the Carmelite Sisters. A very meaningful meeting with the sisters. Now I know who my guardian angel is…sort off. Got some fits of fear when an accident was supposed to happen. Thanks to Nang Rose, our other guardian angel.
Went shopping at Alabang Town Center
5. THE WEEKEND, May 17-19
Cebu. Family. Matthew and Kyle. Lechon. Reunion. Lola's 88thbirthday. More food. Sea food. Beach. Relax. Jet Ski. Sun tan. Sexy ladies. Star WarsII: Attack of the Clones (Yeah, Yoda is the Man and He. Me. Are like each other) Shopping. Barbie’s Cradle. More food. Chit chat til midnite. Zzzzzzz.
Yoda. Jedi Master. Your word is pretty much gospel, as far as others are concerned. You stick to your roots and have a good head on your shoulders. You can always provide a good response to those in need of answers, or those who just want to talk. You may not look tough, but inside you've got more power than the majoirty of people.
