this is karl

im tall, fair complexion, shaved-head, easy to be with and a conversationalist...

i am a gentle spirit that sees beyond normal sight, an extroverted being, moving beyond what is expected of him. i am a creature who believes in karma. i am a puzzle, people find it hard to solve me and see the real picture in me, i am usually misinterpreted, misunderstood, mis-whatever... but nevertheless, i am who people can expect of me,,, the emotional being that lurks in this world of reality is of present personal journey, a typical bustle of the beings with him. he who finds anything that is of typical Karl, sees Karl, the undisputed friend of anyone,,, the person who is not afraid of going along any person from any walks of life,,, the being who raises his head when people try to pull him down, believing that these people do realize that he is above them... karl/pete/evan/kar/kurl,,, whatever name pleases you. this definitely wont change anything... karl is karl.. you can never change him, or maybe you can.. karl is a good guy gone crazy, a rebel who is trying to find the correct path again, a dissenter who tries to pick the mistakes he made and turn them into lessons for himself. you cant blame him, life is full of pressure, life is not life unless there are problems, he wants to find a mentor who could change his ways. a good friend who never fails to lift him up...

when i was once in deep shit, there was this new friend of mine who said, "it is not my business what other people think of me"... it made me realize things that i didn't really think of before... it amazes me to find that new friends or acquaintances can really teach you some important stuffs... this is true... thanks man!

moving on, dont judge karl, no one can ever ever judge another... i do believe in principles of the same kind.. i am cleaning up my act, clean up yours.. i am serious with my life now, concentrating with what really is important... my family, my friends, acquaintances, my life including me...

blog profile? i know....

signing off, the rainman,

Haven't seen you yet dude. I've been thinking of you for the past days.. while going to work, watching the Simpsons and even when I'm just sitting down doing nothing. I'll be going to your wake on Tuesday with Jo and Joel. See you then..

another angel for me

He was one hell of a human being.
Lived his life to the fullest.
Never had a dull moment with this guy.
Has this innate ability to always crack me up.
The only person in the group who knows the "PENGUIN" dance.
One of the greatest persons you'll ever come across.

But now he's an angel. An angel who will always be with us no matter what. An angel who will always guide us and will always be present at every get together, inuman or laugh trip we'll ever have. He will always and forever be the KARL that we all knew and love.

KARL.. as of right now, the news of you passing away this morning hasn't really sunk in yet. I might sound crazy talking to you in my blog but it's the only way I can cope with this. I honestly am not ready to see you yet cuz I know I'd breakdown and cry if I see you in that coffin. It's really hard to lose someone like you. I will forever miss our PENGUIN dance, the PHilip Morris joke about me that you couldn't stop telling everyone, the way you would make all these silly faces just to crack me up.. SIGH.

You'll always be in my heart Karl. Always. And I hope that you are happy wherever you are (and I definitely know you're UP there). Watch over us ok dude? We will miss you badly. I LOVE YOU KARL.. Rest in peace

Ten Things That Rock My World

Taken from my bestfriend's sister's blog. Just for fun because I'm bored.

In no particular order, here are ten of some of the things that rock my world and/or make me happy:

1. FOOD. One of the best stress relievers out there. I just love trying out new cuisine.
2. My friends. (HS kada, UST friends and blockmates from college whom I miss so much)
3. Getting to see new places, in short - TRAVELLING.
4. My family.
5. A really beautiful morning and afternoon.
6. Hanging out with Arence
7. Shopping at the Ukay-ukay
8. A really good book
9. Photography
10. Movies and Music

my bottomless pit

How I wish that I had a normal METABOLISM. Really. I know that a lot of people tell me that it's a blessing that I have the fastest metabolism in the world, but like everything, you get tired of it. I've been as thin as a post ever since I can remember and the only time I really gained any weight was in HS when I drank a lot of beer. Makes perfect sense. But after sometime, my body went back to it's normal payat state. I was always a couple of pounds under 100 which is not normal. But I guess everyone else around thinks so.

Anyway, I just want to relate how my body works because it's like magic sometimes. You see, I have the type of appetite of, as bad as it sounds, a PG (patay-gutom). I am that type of person who gets hungry every thirty minutes just after finishing a meal; I'm the type of person who binges on food and who is very gluttonous in some way; and I am the type of person who does all these and never, and I mean never, GETS FAT.

Yes. You heard it right. I NEVER EVER GOT FAT. And it totally sucks. BOO my metabolism. (well just a little bit)

You see, being thin ain't all bad. But being thin isn't good either. My normal body weight for my height is 120lbs and I only frikin weigh a stunning 98lbs! (di pa ako pinaabot sa 100, gosh.) I know I'm pretty lucky in a lot of ways like I always have the right sizes for clothes, I don't have to worry about dieting and I would always look fit (or so they seem) to other people. I know I shouldn't be complaining, but I really find it ABnormal.

Uggh. What am I saying??

I really don't know where this post is going except all I know that this is supposed to be about my tummy. Uuh, yah.

So, while having my all-you-can-eat salad with Arence this afternoon, I suddenly realized how much I've been eating today and it really was a bit of a shock to realize that I've been stuffing my poor ol tummy with food every after 2hours or so. Here's a breakdown of the things I've eaten in the past 15 hours:

4:30am - Lugaw with chicken
6:30am - carrot cake
8:30am - caldereta with rice
12:30pm - sisig with rice
3:00pm - 2 plates of all-you-can-eat salad

Oh diba? Hindi man ako gutom. lol

This afternoon was beautiful. It was one of those afternoons wherein the sun was shining but the air was very cool. I was practically wearing my sweatshirt on the whole time. After work, I decided to go to Robinson's Balibago to play some arcade (yes, I'm a loner like that). Then met up with Arence to attend the PTA meeting of his brother which we then later found out that it was already over. Got to walk around the city, visit Jenra mall and even went to the weekly Ukay-ukay at the Nepo Quad which happens every Wednesday. Got to buy two shirts too which I wasn't expecting. Then decided to splurge once again on food at NB. It has been a long day I tell you but very worthwhile nonetheless.

In other news, my kuya finally had his long locks cut away last Sunday. It was a historic event and we captured every second with out trusty digicam. It's kinda sad that he had it cut off but it was for the better. I think he was getting ill because of his hair. I really don't know why tho. Anyway, here are some photos of me with his locks. How I wish I had hair like his

I forgot how long his hair was.


Mike and I posing with his newly cut locks. I like how the long hair fits me. :)


Zipped-locked.

Well, I gotta get some shut eye if I want to make it through my shift tonight. See you on my next post! Ciao!
