Yesterday Empoy helped me to assemble a mountain bike in Quapo. He give the pointers on why does he choose this and that. All I ever told him was I want a black mountain bike which is multi purpose for off-road and what he called cross country. And Antares was "bourne". Meet sir Mike and Lindon and Empoy's friend. Had 3 San Mig light. Biked Quiapo to Pateros non-stop. 12MN-1 AM. With antares, meet ton in BNJ at 130AM but it is closed already and ton was already in Juliano's in UBP which is also closed. We ended in Caltex for 2 cans of beer each. 430AM HSH.

Dec 2005 White Board

Walking with a hand in my pocket
I grew tired looking at my feet
raised dust and made stones roll before me
tree branches flow against the skie
rippling leaves in number
hushed
a lone leaf fell
made me sad that day


Going now to Nukadnubak to purchase my dream mountain bike...

What is more appropriate to the person you wish will look at you but to leave her alone! She got a life of her own excluding me, so why would I think that knowing her and wade through her lifetime will make her life better...I dont know...sometimes I think that there is indeed madlove. Hearing the song Love Buzz by Nirvana...related to the movie Mad Love.
