The rules of engagement.

got a problem? punk!

ambush!

We played against the Black Tigers yesterday.. (No no! Not the 'freedom-fighters' of Sri Lanka. These are the Black Tigers of Geneva, using only airsofts guns). Our asses got shot but it was exhilarating! it was our first match. a kid shot me in the back and it hurt! damn they upgraded their guns so bad, our pellets must have felt like just flies running into them. hahaha

And talk about camouflage! i swear i couldn't even see any of them, they were right infront of us! the funny thing is, i shot my own teammate! but i didn't feel too bad when another team mate shot me too. haha talking about a well-planned attack.

Anyway, we played 'capture the flag' but none of us barely got to the flag.. we got shot during the initial assault... i think it was more fun defending the bunker cos we had more chances of shooting the tigers and the trees pretty much helped us defend our territory.

We're playing again soon, and our new airsoft guns would have arrived by then...! yea!

There's always lipstick!

Haha to all the girls out there... we are so blessed! no matter how bad your day is, there is always lipstick! hahaha

ok, vanity aside.. i need to find ways to keep me sane around here. i saw this slogan at a shop once:

You don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps.

I need to get my hands on one of these cool slogans. hey brus! get me one in melbourne? i know they sell 'em in darwin. bring it when you guys come here.. also get me some that says stuff like 'I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time' or ' When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.' hahaha they crack me up.. cheers!

I'm always around..

I think there is some truth in what Superman said. despite the fact that he could't be with lois lane, he will always be around.. watching over her.

My laptop is about to crash... when i throw it out the window.

Aww man, all the cool pics are on this laptop, and I can't even get into the mainframe! haha

Totally busy and so on and so forth.

So what do you do when you're bored and lonely? You blog your bum off, of course! haha... not really. I'd rather go out and kill time by playing badminton or watch movies. Looking forward for mum and dad to come to geneva. Not to mention my brothers and cousin coming in december! It's going to be so wicked. with winter and all, we can go skiing and go on a roadtrip around europe. Perfect timing too since my stock of two-minute noodles is running out..! haha can't wait!

my awesome parents who brought me into this world.. on their honeymoon in manila

my cool blonde brothers (who are no longer blonde btw)

Life full of memories..

Life may seem unfair at times... we face challenges everyday and at the same time we are destined to make new memories with the people we meet in our lives. Never regret what has happened in the past because these events took place for a reason. Accept that God has bigger plans for you in the future.

Count the garden by the flowers,
never by the leaves that fall..
Count our time with smiles and kisses,
but not the tears that roll..

Never forget these great memories, as they shape the kind of person you are today... xoxo

P/s: tested the new Tamron lens... check out the two flower pics above.

The One (Part II)

Find a guy who steals glimpses of you,
when you weren't looking..

Choose a man whose smile is brighter than the sun,
whose words are so sweet they melt your heart..

Be with someone who plays with your hair when you are near,
and listens as you drown your sorrows..

Appreciate the one who takes the time,
to write down his feelings for you...

Go for a bloke that puts your necklace on...
when he sees you struggling with it..

Search for the one who makes you fall in love,
over and over again...

Dancing to the Moonlight Sonata.

The German music composer and pianist Ludwig van Beethoven continued to compose materpieces even after he became completely deaf..

There was a well-attested story that, at the end of the premiere of his Ninth Symphony, he had to be turned around to see the thunderous applause of the audience... and after hearing nothing, he began to weep..

Beethoven you are a remarkable man.

YouTube 'moonlight sonata' to listen to his piece!

The Ram (21 March - 20 April)

Aries is the first of the zodiac, and is said to have the following traits:

• enthusiastic, adventerous, born leader, open to new ideas and a lover of freedom

On the dark side:

• quick-tempered, impulsive, impatient, loses interest easily, brutaly honest and capable of holding a grudge once affronted

Ruling planet - mars

Birthstone - diamond

Colour of choice for aries - red (what a coincidence)

An arien likes spontaniety, the extreme, and dislikes waiting around and listening to other people's advice. Plus, an arien hates people who break promises. Interestingly, I share the same star sign as the dictator Adolf Hitler. haha!

Faster than a speeding bullet.

Superman... God's gift to mankind..

Was watching smallville today cos i couldn't be bothered doing any housework... haha. anything to keep me sane.

There was a scene in smallville of Lex Luthor quoting John Donne's poem to Lana Lang, which i thought was wicked..

Take me to you
Imprison me
For I shall never be free
nor ever chaste
except you ravish me

"Anyone who doesn't appreciate poetry - doesn't understand that it's all about... seduction".

I agree.

Everything happens for a reason.

I'm a true believer in fate. The things that happen and the people you meet in your life are God's way of telling you something... and you become a better person for it.

In life we all have an unspeakable secret, an irreversible regret, an unreachable dream and an unforgettable love.

Cheh... so deep lah. Anyways... happy holidays everyone!

Completely useless, but interesting facts.

The best kind of friends.

I got this in my inbox today from a good mate in brunei.. thought it was friggin hilarious:

There are 9,675,000,000 people in this world...
And yet I ended up with your crazy ass as a friend.
Damn I'm lucky! I just Love You...

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest
the crotch of the person who screws up your day,
and may their arms be too short to scratch... AMEN.

hahaha!

Julius Caesar - A hero, or a threat to Rome?

I reckon the best line from William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is:-

I charm you, by my once commended beauty,
by all your vows of love, and that great vow,
which did incorporate and make us one,
that you unfold to me, your self, your half...

This was said by Portia to Brutus.. in her attempt to persuade Brutus from doing the inevitable.. a story about Caesar who was killed by his own friends and fellow politicians.. how sad.

There is no charge for amazingness..!

That was the best line in that new new cartoon - kung fu panda. haha. the ice age was funnier though.

The dishwasher has GOT to be the best invention of mankind.

AFTER the air-conditioner of course! lol.

It's rabbit season. It's duck season. Rabbit season. Duck season!

no - actually. it's fly season. armed with an insect repellent, i think i've killed like two dozens of them! thanks to the open doors over the weekend.. haha. i think my kitchen was a graveyard at some stage.

Surprisingly wicked.

the BBQ at the house was great, everyone had a good time.. i'm sure the neighbours weren't too impressed with all the noise we were making. but hey! it was a saturday night. plus the horror movie we were watching was more hilarious than scary. haha.

all in all, i'd say the best part of the night was the food. so the small cuts on my fingers from marinating the lamb chops were totally worth it. the bones were SHARP, ok! ehem.. ok, with this.. i would like to thank.. all those who have helped making the bbq a success, from the 'marinator'.. to the cooks.. and the eaters of course.. cheers!

The One (Part I)

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot,
who calls you back when you hang up on him,
who will stay awake just to watch you sleep..

Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead,
who wants you to show you off to the world
when you are in your sweats,
who holds your hand in front of his friends..

Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you
of how much he cares about you,
and how lucky he is to have you..

Wait for the one who turns to his friends
and says, "...that's her."

Live a little..

there are two eternities that can really break you down. Yesterday and Tomorrow. one is gone and the other doesn't exist. so live today!
