Metamorphosis
of the thumb.
Or: the movement
of hands across
the dial of life.

"When I die, a silver thread of smooth pearls will break, and the pearls will roll across the country and run home to their oyster mothers at the botton of the sea. Who will dive for my pearls when I have gone? Who will know that they were mine? Who can guess that once the whole world was hanging around my neck?"

The artistic genius desires to give pleasure, but if his mind is on a very high plane he does not easily find anyone to share the pleasure; he offers entertainment but nobody accepts it. This gives him, in certain circumstances, a comically touching pathos, for he has really no right to force pleasure on men. He pipes, but none will dance. Can that be tragic?

Out with the Old, In with 2009! (Or: A 2008 Meme!)

In the spirit of the imminent new year, let me ride on the 2008 bandwagon! I encourage everyone to try and answer the same survey because I'm such a gossipy bastard I sincerely want to know how your 2008 went, hehe. Bear with the questions and my responses; there will be shout-outs along the way!

1. Was 2008 good for you? Yes, yes, yes! This year has been so full of blessings and I'm really grateful for all of them!

2. What was your favorite moment of the year? It's hard to choose just one. It's not technically a "moment", but I'd have to say the times I spent with CSO would be the best :D

3. What was your worst moment of the year? Hmm, again, still not a moment. It's actually currently ongoing: agonizing over "that" decision that I will eventually have to make.

4. Where were you when 2008 began? At home. Being vain with family. Oh, and stuffing my mouth full of food and beer.

5. Who were you with? My siblings, titas, and cousins. My parents were out of the country at the time.

6. Where will you be when 2008 ends? See #5. I'm a creature of habit.

7. Did you keep your New Year's resolution of 2008? You mean "to continue being the hot sexy beast that I am"? Of course I did.

8. Do you have a New Year's resolution for 2009? Yes, a few actually: Be open, fall in love (not necessarily romantically), and save some freakin' money! I want to learn to say St. Francis de Sales' prayer: "Yes, Father! Yes, and always, Yes!"

9. Did you fall in love in 2008? With CSO, 4B, and 4N, yes. :P

10. If yes, with who? With 92 of the most fascinating people you'll ever get to meet. Does that make me a slut? Haha.

11. Are you still in love? You mean do I have that warm, fuzzy feeling inside? :P

12. Did you breakup with anyone in 2008? With McDonalds Katipunan, yes. I broke up with her to start a steamy, clandestine, strictly after work-only affair with Jollibee. McDo closed herself off from the world, got a total makeover like any scorned woman would, and now that she's sexy again, I want her back like any stupid bastard would. Alas, now I have to fall in line.

13. Did you make any new friends in 2008? Yes: Sanggu guys and the OSA Team! Special shoutout to Sir John Lauron, Melvin Apo, Sir JM Pilares, and of course, Ma'am Jenny!

14. Did you travel outside your home country in 2008? Nope.

15. Did you miss anybody this year? A lot of people! My parents, who have yet to come home, and my Pol Sci friends, many of whom I haven't seen in a VERY long time. (Yes, that's you, Dang and Pia!)

16. What was your favorite movie that you saw in 2008? Sadly, I didn't get to watch a lot of movies this year, mostly because of my uber-hectic schedule. Of those that came out in 2008 that I saw, I liked Kung Fu Panda the best, I guess. Simple pero profound! Haha. I also saw some old movies for the first time this year, and I'd like to thank Reggie Perez for introducing me to View Askewniverse! Chasing Amy and Mallrats are <3!

17. What was your favorite song from 2008? 

This is tough! I'd say Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours"---"And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved!" Gotta love that line!

18. How many concerts or plays did you see in 2008? I've been to a few TA, Sibol and TBT plays, and a couple of Big Fish events (Chicane and Armin van Buuren). That's about it.

19. Did you have a favorite concert in 2008? Armin's was FUN! Right, Trix and Iz? :P

20. What was your favorite book in 2008? I read "Twilight" but didn't really like it. I read J.D. Salinger's "Franny and Zooey" for the first time this year, and needless to say, I loved it!

22. How many people did you sleep with in 2008? Wouldn't you want to know?

23. Did you do anything you are ashamed of this year? Not that I can think of.

24. What was the biggest lie you told in 2008? Can't think of one. Not that I'd tell you anyway.

25. Did you treat somebody badly in 2008? Not intentionally, if ever it happened.

26. Did somebody treat you badly in 2008? Nothing big that I can think of.

27. What was your proudest moment of 2008? Any Sanggu (and especially CSO!) activity is a moment of pride! I'd say the one that stands out the most would be the Org Fair: Armed and R.E.A.D.Y.!

28. What was your most embarrassing moment of 2008? Something that involves THAT cellphone video featuring me doing the nasty with..... Oh wait, that wasn't me. Haha.

29. If you could go back to any moment of 2008 and change something, what would it be? No regrets here. Everything is (should be?) a learning experience.

30. Where did you work in 2008? Same place I've worked since 2005: Ateneo High! And hopefully (crossing my fingers and praying to the high heavens), I'll still be here next school year.

31. Favorite TV shows(s) of 2008? I'm not really a big TV person, but I guess Grey's Anatomy, Gossip Girl and Ellen make the cut.

32. Favorite Band(s) of 2008? I don't know. I'm pretty out of touch with the more mainstream stuff.

33. Favorite Food in 2008? Aling Lourdes'? HAHA.

34. Favorite Drink in 2008? Good ol' Starbucks Americano, with no hint of sugar or cream.

35. Favorite Place in 2008?

 Uhm, OSA? Haha.

36. Favorite person(s) to be with in 2008 aside from family? CSO and Sanggu, 4B, 4N, OSA Team!

37. Favorite person(s) to talk to in 2008? A lot! Sir John and Melvin for sure! CSO guys, especially those who are sukis in my cubicle, namely Mico Ignacio, Kage Ednalino, and Ger Villanueva. Non-CSO people who are also sukis in my cubicle, especially John Valdes for our heart to hearts, Third Fernandez and the Blue Book guys for my weekly dose of AHS chismis news, late night OSA and Azul buddies Lanz Paningbatan and Ryan Madrid, Ma'am Sylvs for all those Starbucks checking marathons, Karen and Yey of the English Dep't for being my emotional punching bags (hehe).

38. Hardest thing you had to go through in 2008? I'm still doing it, actually. Waiting, and trying to find peace of mind about this thing concerning my family.

39. Most exciting moment(s) in 2008? CSO and Sanggu Activities, especially Org Fair, the Cluster Nights, Cluster projects like Serye Kabataan, Kids@Work, the Sanggu Christmas dance. :)

40. Funniest moment(s) in 2008? Basta nandun si Sir John at tumatawa sya, funny na rin yun. Haha.

41. A valuable life lesson you learned in 2008: Choose Saying "Yes!" is very difficult, but many times, that's all it takes for one to experience a world of reward, beauty, and love.
