As I’m writing this, I imagine Candice would be estimated 30,000 feet above the…Pacific? I’m geographically dumb, so I’m basing it on estimation. It’s 1:12 am so majority of the people on board that plane would be sleeping (not including the pilot and his crew, hopefully), and if our girl is sleeping then she wouldn’t be able to harrass the crew like I asked her not to a while ago, or if she’s being her ADH self, she would most likely be contemplating on how to set the plane on fire.

Oh, wait, that’s not Candice. I was talking about what I would have done if I were up there. Sorry, I got distracted.

If she isn’t sleeping maybe she’s reading a book, comfortably sitting (malamang) near the window. Or maybe looking outside, waiting for traces of Australia to appear. Or just marvelling at the cloud formations. (On how she would be able to do that on a pitch black sky, I wouldn’t know.)

Whatever I’m imagining she might be doing right now, it doesn’t help much on getting rid of this sad feeling inside me. Or even the strange habit of checking my phone for a message coming from her even if it’s somehow impossible. (May signal ba sa taas? Wala pa akong phone nung huli akong napunta ng 30,000 feet.) These coming from me, a person who have been somewhat close to Candice mostly because of our constant correspondence through texting these past few days. I wonder how the others who have truly been close to her are doing.

I was browsing through my inbox a while ago, and I just couldn’t help but grin on those messages I have saved. I don’t know when I would finally clean up my inbox, but I probably won’t be able to do it again, even if it does delay incoming messages sometimes after my inbox easily gets filled up. There’s something from Candz and her being a weirdo in highschool. And Jace and his initial mis-sent text. And Tina’s. And Kristine Fonacier’s and Bernie Sim’s (MTV Ink kids). And a few more different people.

I don’t think I would really be able to erase them, at least not in the near future. At this point they serve not only as a memory refresher and a smile initiater, but it also does spark up something in me that makes me realize I have been so blessed that in my life I was able to meet these fantastic people. It’s enough to temporarily lift me up, anytime of the day.

Something perverted this way comes.

I chanced upon this weird tv show on a lesser-popular local channel a while ago, something like a milder version of Jerry Seinfield. They guested this guy who admittedly housed all three of his women in one boarding house. I was laughing and cussing so hard I had to take down notes about their lives.

Rey–that’s the guy’s name– is this homely, good-for-nothing jobless lazy sleazebag who was initially married to Marilou, this late 30-ish woman who’s a self-confessed workaholic. Apparently Rey used that as an excuse to look for another girl, found in the persona of Leah, an 18 year old boarder. Leah claims to have not known Rey had a wife up until recently because Marilou was always out of the house. Still not contented, he also took in Jenny, another 18 year old boarder. Turned out he had a knack for “fresh meat”.

Amazingly, Jenny also didn’t know Rey was married, and was told that Leah was a cousin. But even more amazingly, Jenny turned out to be Rey’s cousin, which they later found out when her mother came to visit. After his stupidities were found out, Rey pinned the blame on Marilou, saying she had no time for him, aside from claiming he doesn’t love her. The woman, ever the idiot, then devised a way to settle everything (because she says she felt a bit guilty): Mondays and Tuesdays he stays with her, Wednesdays and Thursdays he stays with Leah, Fridays and Saturdays he romps with Jenny. She says she couldn’t kick them out of the dormitory because she just doesn’t have the heart to do so.

Near the end of the show, Rey reckons he only loves Leah, and with a smug smile the latter claims she’ll stay for him. Marilou lets him get away with things because she says she doesn’t want to have a broken family. Jenny tells the host she’s going to move on and leave the dorm, something she decided on after she found out they were cousins.

Amazing. They’re all stupid enough not to know this was happening UNDER ONLY ONE ROOF. The confession happened only lately.

Moral of the story: head over to Vicky Belo and have your face grotesquely revamped, then incorporate a smug attitude and fire yourself from your job: you’d get more girls under one roof and get away with it than Brad Pitt could ever manage.

I just learned something new from Eric James the other day, while we were checking out sites at the HF office. By clicking on your site meter and checking out your stats page, there is actually a page where you can check out your referrals, or basically the pages that led your visitors to your site. Amazingly, most of them came from Yahoo and Google. Guess what those people were searching for before they ended up in my site.

Mark Herras’ photos.

What the fuck.

Wicked. I got a lot of site hits because of that guy. I don’t even remember discussing anything that concerned him. And I don’t care if he came from De La Salle – Dasmarinas too. I don’t like him associated with my website.

But then again, if it meant more visitors, then what the hell:

Mark Herras. Rainier whateverhisgoddamnsurnameis. Oh, wait–Rainier Castillo. Right. Hero Angeles. Sandara Park. Jorros (di ko alam ang apelyido niya). Star Circle Quest. Star Circle Teen Quest. Star Circle Kids Quest. SCQ. Starstruck. Starstruck Kids.SCQ Reloaded. Sandara’s Romance. Dion Ignacio. Jennelyn Mercado. Yasmien Kurdi. Blah, blah, blah.

Yan. Para yan sa mga web spiders ng Google. He he. At kung gusto ko naman ng may lebel, pwede rin ito: Cindy Kurleto. MTV, MTV Ink, Pulp, Pulp Community, Rock, Philippine Rock, Indie, Philippine Indie, Imago, Sandwich, Narda, Purple Chickens, 6 Cycle Mind, Eraserheads, Dirty Kitchen, Paramita, Silent Sanctuary, Boldstar, Marty Mc Fly, Itchyworms, Cambio, Sugarfree, Twisted Halo, Happy Meals, Color It Red, Olympic Smoker, Kjwan, Fuseboxx, Day dream cycle, Weedisneys, Sugarfree, Silverfilter, Monsterbot, Aia de Leon, Tim Cacho, Zach Lucero, Myrene Academia, Raimund Marasigan, Marc Abaya, Diego Mapa, Ebe Dancel, Kris Gorra-Dancel, Vin Dancel, lahat-lahat na. Wala na akong maisip.

Pagbigyan ninyo na ako, inaantok na naman kasi ako, eh.
