August 01 insert crafty title hereBlogging at Tafe. Waiting for teacher who's probably in class himself.
Goddamit, life is so tiring. Sometimes I wonder what it'd be like when I'm dead. Would the people I care about change? Would I leave such a gap in their lives, that for a little more than a second I'm a little more significant in their lives?
Lol.. My bad, im not good at philosophy'sing' about things, but I might aswell. Im pretty sure I got another hour to myself before I must once more immerse myself in the technicality of
building industry. So whats been up since my last entry... umm.. I've got a new object of my affection.
If only she felt the same way back.. hahaha. The hazards of love and life when you're a 20 yr old kid.
For my Semester 2 Project we're meant to design townhouses for this new development
in Parramatta, near Ermington. Went there today to visit the site and took pictures.
Damn it looks nice. Its right on the banks of the Parra river, and its a beautiful place. Fuck, i know that I'd buy a lot there regardless of the house design.. Itll be a great foundation for my project..
Umm.. I got my second tattoo.. Been dying to post it, but most of the ppl who read the blog know
this already. My own design with praying hands wrapped with ribbon with the words "Kalayaan para sa
Kinabukasan" and "Psalm 3". And in between the palms are two strands of sampaguita garlands. And on top of the apex of the palm is the sun and its corresponding stars are to its sides and beneath the actual hands. It looks dope, and I couldn't any happier. No. 3 is coming soon! :) Undefeated once more on Fight Night. And whilst many have tried and put up a good fight,
all modesty aside, I kicked arse on all accounts.
Nothing much happening on the social side of life. I mean, apart from my 'new' object of affection, or infatuation to this point, all i really do is watch movies and drink.. I mean, im no alcaholic by any means
and I dont binge, but I go out occassionally to get pissed.
Learning AutoCad, the Computer Aided program for Architects and the sort.. Going off pretty well.. so afterwards I can start looking for experience, after all of this shit with the insurance thing blows over.. Which i wont go into detail here, cos its a bother even thinking about it. Lets just say "There goes my goddamn holiday".
So what else can I add?.. nothing really.. except
live your life the way YOU want to live it.. fuck anyone else who thinks different.
joe July 06 Read people read, Jesus Chriiiiiiiist!it's been about a week since my last entry. all ive been doing is working, sleeping and hanging out. ahhh, i love the holidays.
nothing interesting to point out really. still undefeated. fought some really good matches the past week. lasted 5 rounds until i knocked his punk ass out. hahaha. naturaaal. p.s. the only reason he (alex) lasted so long was because i picked a fighter two weightclasses below his. not making excuses, (i mean, what needs to be excused? - i still kicked your ass :)). haha cant wait till the next bout girly-man.
anyways, im in the process of my second tattoo. im dedicated to getting the right designs, so i went through a couple of different drawings until i was happy. handed the finished work today to some tattooist chick named Wheatley. Lol. Wheatley. and hopefully she'll do a decent job of it. afterwards, hung out with Roy and his friend Bec, treated for mexican, cos im hungry, and apparently Roy believes that all mexican food are the same. i argued that while nearly every mexican dish served in the restaurant had tortillas, the difference was in the salsas.. after a dish of this different variation of nachos served with rice and garlic prawns, we all agreed mexican food was good. (i dont know why i added that, but oh well).
alot of shit been happening. nothing bad of course, just alot of things to keep me busy. btw, anyone remember the chicken place called chicken express? well, it was my favourite when i was a kid, cos theyre specialty was their famous mushrooms, which were just fried mushrooms. and after around 1999 they closed down their shop in strathfield (which was the only shop i thought they had) until, on questing for my mates tattooist, some big bikie dude with fucken attitude in chester hill, i came across chicken express.. and oh fuck, i missed those mushrooms-even if they were 4 dollars 50c: which sucks ass. the thing is, is that that entire day i walked: from my house all the fucken way to chester hill, which btw is farther than you'd probably think. the only good thing about walking all that way were the mushrooms.. (lol.. im a sadkent)
yeah.. nothing much this week. i should really clean my drawing board for sem 2. its collecting dust. plus need to buy new supplies of tracing paper, ink pens and cartridge paper.. i realise these are things you'd probably find boring, but in some sick little way, i like it.. makes me feel all manly and accomplished.
i got work for most of the week. bartending mainly, which is awesome :) im getting sick of having to clean. and whatever free time i have im aiming to use on writing that unfinished story i got in the works. ana knows what im talking about. its gone through several reworks, and in comparison to the original draft its mythos are alot more richer. i got another idea too, i wanted to make a bunch of comics of gangsters in syd. but then again i remembered the YD series. kinda seems done. (i got this idea one day cos i was listening to music in the fils. it was evanescence and that 'wake me up' song. the first single they released. and it has this mad piano part in the beginning. and all of a sudden i imagined this muffled screaming - try to picture it - and its all black. "How Can You See Into My Eyes, Like Open Doors?" and then you see this shaking of the screen. more muffled screaming, the verse goes by and the black screen becomes more frantic while the muffled screams get louder but farther away. then the bass kicks in, and the camera comes out from the darkness and seems to go through the grass at the feet of asian guy in a suit throwing a rose at the grave. then he turns around, and the camera reaching eye level shows the audience the other twenty guys in suits waiting for him. ok, maybe im not so good at describing it. but one day, ill post that idea - and if u listen to the song and try to picture the sequences, i swear theyll sync completely) anyways.. its 4:30am friday morn and i need to go sleep. but before i go, for those curious and still do not have any mms capable fones in hand, my finished tattoo design is:
Praying hands clasping garlands of Sampaguita - Sampaguita/Arabian Jasmine is the Filipino National Flower. i chose sampaguita as an alternative to the rosary because i didnt want the blatant use of the crucifix in my tattoo, mainly because i dont really believe the church, and dont think the crucifix fits my belief. sampaguita is also a symbol for struggle. i cant explain it - if youve ever seen street vendors in manila youd know what im on about. and also, i use sampaguita to symbolize my grandfather: who used to come home every sunday and wake me up by the smell of the sampaguita garlands he'd hang on my wall. it was his favourite flower, so in some way i wanted to acknowledge him.
Around the palms is a ribbon that intertwines into a crude crucifix formation - i wanted a subtle crucifix, im not really into doing the normal ones you would see on any rapper or anything, but instead just have the idea of it in their. so with implementing the ribbon i got what I wanted without being so cheesy and cliche. along the ribbon are the words "Kalayaan Para Sa Kinabukasan" which roughly translates into 'Freedom for Tomorrow' and the Ribbon binding the palms together says "Psalm 3" - my favourite bible passage. but after the re-drawing the tagalog words may change depending on the length of the available ribbon.
Sun and Stars - Components of the filipino flag. the sun is above and behind the apex of the praying hands, the stars are on either side of the eight-ray sun, with the last star beneath the sampaguita garlands. Ive always wanted 3 stars and a sun, and would never get this tattoo without it.
OK, Anyways. Im out. For you bastards who didnt even take the time to read it, I suggest you do. What the hells the point of me writing a blog if my friends arent gonna read em? you selfish, selfish pricks..
lol
forgive me, early morning shits.
joe P.S a WHITE Samsung z510 New in Box going for $600
and a Modified Samsung D500 for $400 if interested please contact me P.P.S neone seen the spiderman 3 trailer? - its okay i guess. lol. couldve done better. i mean at least advertise Venom June 26 natural'So keep on coming, watch you running out of breath, while im ducking Im just slugging at your chest, YOU NEED A REST!!'
.. the music rings out through the crowd, bouncing against the far walls of the giant stadium, richocheting against the thousands upon thousands that stand in unison. Their cries for blood can no longer be heard, instead the music itself seems to take life in their combined voices, which at the same time scream out for the same thing. In the epicentre of this chaos, the squared circle, matted with the dry blood of warriors whose own battles pale in significance against its current occupants, seems to take a life of its own. Two behemoths feinted their way across it, ran over its canvas frames with agility that stunned the crowd, yet did not silence them, and the ring seemed to breathe with every blow, and step with every step of these two monsters. Their punches stabbed through the deafening noise, and as knuckle crunched into bone and muscle, their sounds overpowered everything else.
.. They continued to battle, as if waging personal wars in every punch they landed. Blood sprayed in scarlet clouds that hung in the air like mist, and when all who watched on believed it to have reached its end, the climax had not even begun.
ducking low beneath a hook of immense power, the challenger throws an uppercut that dazes the champion for the first and final time. Wavering on unsteady feet, the crowd yells for both contenders to finish, and believing his victory to be assured, the challenger steps in for the final blow. however, he misses, and as the behemoth stumbles over slightly with his own weight dragged down by the insensity of his attack, the champion who had feinted to the right of the final punch, stepped in, pivoting his hips into a direct line with the challengers chin and fired his signature left cross. .. silence rung out as the challenger fell dead to his feet. only when, the bell rang a microsecond later, did the crowd realise their hero had won once again.
.. the champion is too tired to celebrate, but manages to raise his arms to the crowd with a final show of defiance. unmatched, undefeated, yet not unchallenged, he remains victorious amongst the people who had once chanted against him, yet now honour him like a god.
.. he waits for the official declaration of his victory as his opponents body is dragged away from the ring. he watches on as the blood pools that collect beneath wounded bodies of immense height and weight stretch out into lines that coarse the ring like paint, his wrist, bruised yet unbroken is held with respect and an unspoken reverence by the referee beside him. He raises this wrist, and smiling out to the faceless crowd that have been his peers and people his entire career, he laughs menacingly as his name is proclaimed victor, promising silently he will never lose.
'ECOOOOOOOOOO!'
Iam undefeated, unequalled, unparalleled. Over 100 matches, no answers, no reprisals, just one man standing in the ring when all has been said and done. and that one man is me..
muahahaha
.. anyway.. enough of that, lol..
if you know me, you'd probably know what all of that meant.. jay certainly does, kevin certainly does.. just a matter of time until you do too! :)
holidays, now.. started today officially, and im shaking all over with excitement. (or rheumatism, whichever one comes first). if anyone wants to hang out, just drop a line.
im off, laters!

June 09 Stuffedlast night (thursday), technically 'last night' would refer to friday, because its saturday now.. anyway last night.. i got smashed.. a little too hard after work, and im kinda regretting it.. thank god i didn't do anything stupid, like fall in the harbor or nearly get hit by a bus again.. but still.. i went with the ppl from work, all of whom are nice guys so its good company.. i jus wished that i didnt get shattered to the extent i got shattered..
woke up this, (yesterday) morning smelling like a mixture of vodka, scotch, bourbon, beer and vomit.. which sucks ass. but how could you say no to free drinks? I can't.. its my kryptonite
anyway, ima go sleep. its 5am already saturday morning, and i just finished the finishing touches to my site report.. just have to print them out, and all ive got left are the working drawings (6 in all) and presentation drawings (2 in all) for my leftover assignments.. the council files gotta wait.. no time to head down to blacktown and pester the fucking council ppl again, plus i hate getting rejected *raises fist at parramatta*. and this time i just might lash out..
ummm.. what else is new? oh, im heading to the wwe summerslam show this coming august so thatll be good.. :) shirts are like 50 bucks minimum which fucking sucks monkey juice, but if you were as big a fan as iam you probably wouldnt care.. i mean, i'd care, but i have money ;)

currently:
reading: Oh its a big list this month .. - Superman - A guide to the Man of Steel :) ;The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux; and the Tales of the Otori Trilogy by Lian Hearn(Across the Nightingale Floor, Grass for his Pillow, Brilliance of the Moon)
listening to: nothing right now
playing: xmen 3-last stand on the phone
watching: Lost and Smallville (Fuck, Chloe is cute)
taping: NBA finals June 07 time flies when you're busytime flies when you're busy. for the past ten weeks ive been cramming, naturally. and i've been working long hours behind the bar aswell. so as you can probably imagine, im looking forward to the upcoming holidays.
no more assignments.. (hopefully) probably stable shifts with good pay... and most importantly time to do the things i wanna do.
wanna wake up one morning, and know for a fact i dont have any assignments due the following day. wake up one morning, feel the urge to go back to sleep and react accordingly.. wake up one morning and not have to give a fuck about my schedule because its all sweet. :) heehee.. cant wait. but before then, I MUST survive the next two weeks.
training people, and going through training myself, work seems alright. gotten used to the new system of things, gotten used to the people which always make things easier... jus school.. i love the course, but the workload is killing me. so many assignments, so little time to do them.. you may think i have alot of excuses, but all of them are valid. i go to school in the morning until afternoon and i work at night. the past few weeks ive worked straight closing shifts which range from midnight till 2 in the morning. and to illustrate the fact, ive worked from sunday straight until thursday this week, all until closing, and ive had an exam and two assignments due. hmm.. but i still wouldnt give it up for nething. I like feeling this sense of completion.. of achievement. it makes my soul feel good, like hot nachos and a cold glass of coke. like your beautiful girlfriend curling up beside you in the morning. like waking up to the filipino sunrise :).. it makes me smile..
and i guess, if you can smile about work and about study, even if theyre draining you of every ounce of energy left in your body, then you're set. you're ready. and you know, that you deserve that holiday.. because you've worked for it..
:) i cant wait..

Wishlisting: May 17 whats been upfirstly, my foots itchy.

im so tired. seriously
every single day i run on a combination of meat pies/sushi and 4 hours sleep. I study in the day, work at night, and whatever time i have in between that i leave for studying or sleeping. Unfortunately I rarely get either done.

Anyways, neone see the Oscar De La Hoya and Ricardo Mayorga fight last last week? Shiiit. Mayorga got FUCKED lol. Looking forward to seein Pacquaio fight soon :) not like he will, just, hoping he does.
Lungs been killing. The entire day today Ive had a sore throat, a raspy voice and been coughing religiously. I have to quit. One way or another I know that one of these things is gonna be responsible for killing me.
Its either lung cancer or the workload. And by the way it looks right now, its dead-even.
20th Birthday is on sunday. Seeing my schedule the week or so before I was working on it, had to change with a fag from work just to get to go out. even if it is with my family.
had saturday too, was hoping to spend that just doing more of my assessments, until i was told this past sunday Im bartending for a function that day (the 20th).. Fuck, sometimes i hate work.
But I luuuuuuuuuuuurvve money so, as you can see.. Im conflicted. And whats making all of this worse, is that I have writers block. My usual method for escapism is nowhere to be found, and the only thing that starts that fire, that makes the wheels in my mind turn is gone.
........
anyway, im off to bed.. then work.. then sleep.. then school.. then bed.. then work again.. fucking life
have a fucking nice day!

I could almost smell the heartburn. :) Yeah.. umm.. what was i going on about? .. ... i WANT to type up a meaningful poem, but I can't, so I won't.. Mind's blocked you see.. AAaaaaaaahhhh.. I derno.. Im just confused, and tired, and incomplete right now.. laters April 27 <3Only Hope (Acoustic) - Kyla
There's a song that's inside of my soul
Its the one that I've tried to write over, and over again I'm awake in the infinite cold But you sing to me over and over again
So I lay my head back down And I lift my hands and pray To be only yours, I pray To be only yours, I know now You're my Only Hope Sing to me, the song of the stars
Of your galaxy, dancing and laughing and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far Sing to me all the plans that you have for me over again
So I lay my head back down And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray
To be only yours, I know now
You're my Only Hope
I give you my destiny
I'm giving you all of me
I want your symphony singing in all that Iam At the top of my lungs
I'm giving it back
So I lay my head back down And I lift my hands and pray To be only yours, I pray To be only yours, I pray
To be only yours, I know now You're my Only Hope....
I think I've fallen in love with this song. I spent the past two hours in bed listening to it play over and over again (lol). And if only this damn msn space thing had some kind of built-in player like myspace or whatever, itd be playing on my page. But it doesn't (or i haven't figured it out yet) so I guess I can live with posting its lyrics. See, filipino singers usually don't sound that great, I mean, theyre good don't get me wrong, but nothing that'll stick in your head in a permanent loop. There's a few that are seriously awesome, but above all female singers, Kayla is the best. And yes I know i know, most of you people who read this don't know her, but still.. She deserves the recognition for her ability. I derno, this song sounds sad when I listen to it, and its perfect for sleeping to. I can almost imagine myself cuddling some filipino girl (;)) with this playing softly in the background, hehe. Anyway, I could only hope to write as good as the composer of this song, which I'm pretty sure is a cover.. But still, Kyla does a nice job. April 02 currently...okay, its too late to go into detail, and im far too tired to write something crafty and amusing in here. so ill be straightforward for a change, and just list down everything ive been up since my last post :P and here it goes... *iam now working. *iam now studying. *im trying my best to hang out with the old boys while... *trying to get good grades and learn my trade. *im still drawing. *still trying to write poetry and songs. *STILL playing playstation 2. *no longer following wrestling. *now watching boxing religiously. *currently into Lost. *currently on my L's, which is sad cos Im... *currently turning 20 this coming May. lol *but ive still got my sense of humor... *and still doing my rounds with the ladies. while... *still having time for my family. *wasting alot of money on equipment *saving alot of money from working night and weekend shifts *wasting alot of hours infront of the computer *saving alot of hours by sleeping in *wasting alot of TAFE by sleeping in on days when i got class *but SAVING myself the trip of having to walk there each morning... which is bad cos... *currently out of shape. lol *but currently not giving a damn, not until i head back to the fils for a holiday this christmas *currently rich from working mad hours *currently poor from compulsive buying *currently TRYING to finish assessments *but currently typing up this blog entry ;) *im still smoking. *i dont drink period. only on special occassions like work, and going out. *i dont do drugs anymore. not even weed. *and finally, until i can think of anymore.. im pretty happy with life :)
