If tomorrow won't
Come, I'll just sit with you all
Night. The Moon will do.

Unintended quote
Something I said at a job interview:
There are some things that are right but not good,
and there are some things that are good but not right.
It's true, isn't it?
While I do enjoy the adventurousness of not having any money on hand, I hope it's a feeling that doesn't last long. And once it passes, I am pretty sure that I won't miss it much, if at all. ^_^ Then again, isn't that what every old person tells the willing ear? "Oh, I remember when I didn't have any money... it was rough and tumble, those days."
The nights are cooler these weeks, so I have been able to give my airconditioning unit a rest.
Thanks for reading.

Florante and Laura aren't Filipino
Close to a week ago, Elmo came back from the Philippines, and handed me a copy of a classic book that I've been wanting to read for some time: Francisco "Balagtas" Baltazar's Florante at Laura. Right off the bat I was hooked. It might have been the feel of Tagalog coursing through my mind and coming out of my mouth. That's not to say that it's easy to read aloud. It's got lots of archaic and classical Tagalog words that even my parents haven't heard of!
But now that I am getting by in it, I am discovering how emo it really is. It figures, really... it was written in 1838, right smack dab during the Romantic period (or maybe a few years after... at any rate, it allows for the idea of Romanticism to reach the Philippines). That seems like it's worth writing a paper about. What do you think?
Oh, and yeah, I should be writing more haiku. But I guess I'm waiting for them to write me.
Song in my head: Stevie Wonder, "Isn't She Lovely". There's also the Kris Aquino version.

Cube day
It's 07/07/07. Isn't that cool? ^_^ Watch out, there are only five more Cube Days left this century... but guess what? We get to see them all!
Song in my head: Whitney Houston, "I Believe in You and Me". I haven't played a wedding reception in ages!
