i don't mind the wait

this was from an old jughead strip that i read when i was just a kid. this story just stuck in my head and maybe initiated why i love those double meaning english words and words that are pronounced the same but different in spelling.

in the strip, moose saw jughead talking to midge. moose thought jughead was making a move on his girlfriend and he instantly became jealous. then he heard jughead say "i don't mind the weight". moose became afraid. he thought jughead would carry something so big and wondered how jughead could manage it with that lean frame of his. after the conversation between midge and jughead, moose immediately went to midge, still boggled with jughead's actions. then midge asked moose what took him so long to get there when the bus has finally arrived. they entered the bus and saw jughead waving outside the window. when moose inquired why jughead didn't ride the bus, midge said jughead didn't mind waiting for the next bus to arrive!

i just see myself humming a mantra.

"i don't mind the wait. i don't mind the wait i don't mind the wait..."

i'm getting kinda anxious waiting for a reply. i honestly didn't even expect for one. but you said you would. and i see myself again re-learning that i'm a patient guy.

but what i do mind is the weight of the burden of the content of the message. am i supposed to be animated or downtrodden? is it ciao or swan song? or is it something in the middle?

what do you have to say?

i will wait. even if it is forever.

Please Wait!

I really feel terrible about how i'm handling things. :'(

I know I'm such a disappointment. It's just that maybe I'm pressuring myself too much that reacting to simple gestures is simply too mind-boggling for me. I know I'm so slow. And I'm becoming so stupid on how to react either. I'm really hating myself because of it.

Sometimes i really don't know how to react. Or what to say anymore. Maybe because sometimes spoken words are insufficient to express how i really feel. Or maybe it's because I can't utter a word.

All I can really say is please, please, please wait.

Please.

I promise I'll find a way to let you know.

I'm a Baller and I'm wearing a BALLER ID

i told myself i won't get into this. but i just can't help myself. hehe.

BALLER ID's are just the hottest items in town. period.



i've seen the ID's last May when my cousin was wearing a yellow one. I've already read about it and just dismissed it as another fad. You can compare the ID's to the WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?) bracelets that NBA players, like Vince Carter and Derek Fisher, have been wearing in the past. The WWJD bracelets have been very popular. But when sports accessories giant Nike markets these items this time around, it is sure to catch fire.

They are basketball accessories that honestly don't add anything to your game. It's really more about the flare it adds to your personality when you're playing B-Ball.

Nike Baller ID's, which comes in different colors, are out of stock right now. But Nike is said to be marketing these items hard and a large amount of items will be shipped come early october. But expect the price to be high due to high demand.

I had to settle for Universidad Baller ID's sold for P230 in a pack of 3 pieces. These ID's are smaller than the Nike ID's and are exact fits. I especially got a red one to match with my many red-colored shirts. ;p

As typical as it is, there are a lot of fake ID's proliferating in the Metro and only costs P50 per piece. As they say, you don't have to spend a lot to be fashionable. Hehe. I'm gonna go for these if Nike places a steep price (which could be the case huhuhu) AND in order to collect ALL the colors. Hehe.

Just remember. When you wear those BALLER ID's, be sure you have the GAME to prove that you are a BALLER. I know I do. Hehe.

As we say in the vernacular, "Baka puro porma ka lang, bano ka naman!" Hehehe.

Morrison's Fable

WE3 is not your regular Aesop's Fable.

Here's an interview of Grant Morrison on his new comic book.



In WE3#1, we learn that this tale is about 3 cybernetic animals who were trained to assassinate and kill targets. When they are about to be decomissioned, things turn differently for these 3 animals.

Morrison's ideas are just tremendous. I bought this book not knowing anything about it, and Grant just serves a story totally different from his previous ones. A timely story on weapons of mass destruction and animal testing reflects current issues operating in the shadows. Also, Grant mentions his Western Manga approach in the interview.

Quitely is totally brilliant. He may be a slow-paced in handing out his works but he just leaves you breathless with his panels. Most especially his 18 panel page that seems to be sequences of camera monitors inside the research facility.



The next issue will be bloody.

Yuta Tabuse to play in the NBA

a son from the land of the rising sun is now a Sun.

hahaha. not witty enough? tsk tsk.

click here for article.

seriously now, we all know that this is really all about the marketing oppprtunities the Phoenix Suns organization can establish in Japan and the number of Tabuse Suns jerseys they will sell. Our very own Jimmy Alapag, who plays for Talk N' Text in the PBA, is better than this guy.

But i hope he succeeds nevertheless because that means we'll see a complete season of Suns games in the NHK BS1 channel. The same media coverage that Japanese baseball sensations Ichiro Suzuki of Seattle Mariners and Hideki Matsui of New York Yankees were given. That would be a real treat. And of course, give the guy a chance! It's not all the time an Asian is given a chance to play in the best league ever.

Just wait for the World Basketball Championships, Yuta! When BAP finally makes the PBA play in the ABC championships! Jimmy Alapag and/or Mike Cortez will come to play!

what it is all about

i seem to be forgetting what it is all about.

this is a shout-out of what i agreed with myself from the very start.

i forgot why. why i played it slow. why i didn't even try to get a contact number when i could have easily transfixed you with my smooth, baritone voice. why i focused more on talking openly and spending time than getting a date. why i shared principles and remained abided by them, calling a jerk a jerk and stressing that i'm not one. why i wrote a letter trying my very best to show that i'm pure and true. why i'm trying to be an effortless funny person (not a try hard) when i'm really a melodramatic, emotional person; on how i can be witty sometimes (a triumph in itself) when my mind is not erratic.

that answer to that why is: i want to be a friend.

i fast-forwarded actions a little bit, insecure of diminishing spent time and worried a lot that your heart is now elsewhere. just because of a rival. because of this, i'm forgetting my real intention. to be a friend.

now a wall of tension hangs around. i'm going nuts trying to figure out how to shatter it. else, the possibility of growing farther apart.

how i wish it can grow. which means going back to my real intention. if only i'm as sanguine as you.
