We were invited to attend a birthday party last Saturday with a "mod" theme. Lala came dressed a la Astrid Kirchherr while I came as Tomoyuki Tanaka of Fantastic Plastic Machine fame. I'll post more photos from my Mac at work. Here's one just for good measure.

Anger Management

It's very hard to get me angry. I consider myself to be a very patient, tolerant man who can deal with most unpleasant situations without getting into a rage. I get really angry, what, maybe only once every two years?

It takes a lot to make me snap but snap I did the other night when a co-worker I consider to be a friend, out of negligence and inconsideration, caused big problems with one of our major suppliers/advertisers. It's been a month and a half since the problem started -- the other night was only the final straw.

I tried to sleep on it but couldn't. Scenes of revenge and rage filled my head as I devised plots and schemes to inflict upn her the next day. Chew her out in front of everyone? Drag her to a room to scream at her privately? Get the whole team to gang up on her?

Being the "nice guy" that I am, however, I let my head cool off by not coming to work directly. I attended a press conference then a photo shoot before visiting the office. Still unsure how I'd react to her, I made it a point not to cross her path. Made sure, without talking to her, that the problem was being solved.

This afternoon, she dedma'd me. I went up to her and asked her a direct question and she dedma'd me. Siya pa yung galit. What the fuck is up with that? She's the one who screwed things up and now she's mad at me. If she can't be professional about this and continues to be a brat about the whole thing then she can just kiss my ass. I can be a very good friend but I can also be a terrible foe.

Here's the photo they will use. Meow meow. Lovely sisters.

Lala and Waya will be appearing in next month's issue of Preview magazine, talking about the upcoming restaging of Saranggola ni Pepe the Musical. Here's one of the photos the photographer took, though Preview is using something else. Just thought this was really cute. =)

Meow! This is Lala and the scale model of her set for Saranggola ni Pepe. She's my Mingmang and I miss her.

I have stones again. Now I have to drink buckets of water -- no more softdrinks or powdered shite. Have to watch the tofu and nuts, too, because uric acid is bad for me. Good thing my diet is getting better.

Wow, it's September already, September 2004! Over a year since my last post.

Looking back at my blogging history (or lack of it), I concede that I am a lazy shit when it comes to putting down my thoughts to virtual paper. I don't think I have what it takes to update any journal regularly. I tend to keep things to myself and shy away from sharing personal thoughts. I have one confidant right now and I think that's enough. She's the reason why I am reactivating The Peripatetic Travels of Didipus Rex. =) Reactivated, but my entries will continue to be sporadic. To try and be faithful to a blogging schedule will go against my personal grain. Also, I think in spurts.
