i couldn't come up with a post that is worth reading as of late. so instead of giving you a rundown of my mundane life, here's a few of my fave testimonials in friendster. the first was written by my best biatch buddy - peng on the lord, high, almighty red (training delivery manager of ibm sprint makati dept.)

peng on red:
Peng, Sunday, November 09, 2003:
Red is an exeptional anthropological
specimen,trainer cum fashion guru as
well as an honorary
boardmember/stockholder of A/X,D&G
and Bulgari.When he says what you're
wearing looks good on you,he means
it.But,if he says otherwise...well,
it'll be worth your while to
mmm...maybe rethink your wardrobe?
There are so many facets to his
personality that everyday brings a
discovery.Like a Mozartean
mosaic...beautifully complex yet
appealing in it's simplicity,intense
and powerful but mellow and sweet all
at the same time.
Outrageously frank and gifted with a
vocabulary worthy of an Oxford
scholar,Red has the ability to leave
your mouth gaping when he goes into
one of his astonishingly accurate
confabulations about a book he read,a
poem he loved,a song he heard,even a
person he loaths.But on one hand, he
can make you shed tears of helpless
mirth and force you into embarassingly
loud fits of laughter when he asks you
one of his silly what IF hypothetical
questions.
Just about the best trainer I've
had,he wields implacable authority
like an unapproachable deity that you
will strive to please so as to avoid
earning his wrath.Not one to suffer
fools,those inopportune beings who
displeased him will be treated to an
astonishing display of a face set with
obvious distaste,cutting replies
dripping in sarcasm and false
sweetness that will suffice to make
one shiver.But beneath the facade of a
steely and a bit biatchy personality
lives a true friend that is fiercely
loyal,hilariously funny and extremely
supportive that you'd be thankful to
have him as a friend.
A person can go on and on trying to
describe him...but one word is
Red...FABULOUS...

chiui on me:
-- Erlyn is a wordsmith...just check out the testimonials she did for her friends...watcha doin here gurl? you ought to be a writer! Erlyn is a very friendly, ma-kwento and she could easily get along with people from all walks of life. She could be sosyal, jologs or bakla...but she'd remain as the simple girl we all love.
(chiqui is one of my closest friends in the call center industry. my solaris wave mate and teammate at eTel. One of the best reps i've ever encountered, no wonder she's a team lead now. beauty and brains and the winning personality to match!)

Val on me:
-- Having known Erlyn for only about 3 weeks, I didn't know what to expect, when I went out with her on a friendly date once. As it turned out, I had fun. She was really comfortable to be with, like I've known her for ages. She was a complete package of wit and charm. Beauty and intelligence packed into one adorable petite frame. (unfortunately for moi and all the other guys out there, shes taken:<) ey good luck to yah and your boylet:> To the boylet: you're one lucky dude!

cARmi on me:
-- erlyn: smart, profound, talented, chatterbox (hehe), simple & of course, pretty!!! (by the way, she's my cousin! :P) i can barely remember our childhood days but what i know is that we used to fight a lot...but now that we're grown-ups, we don't anymore. super profound, she is a walking dictionary in our family, which makes me wonder why i am the literature major when she loves it more than i do!!! for me, she's wise... (uhmm...errr...) and stupid (gotcha!) in a lot of ways! haha! but i will always look up to her coz she's my closest cousin in the whole wide world!!! she's a go-getter (obviously!) and will do whatever she wants whatever it takes. she's super sweet & thoughtful and a good cook!!! (lalo na pag walang makain sa bahay...just had luncheon meat w/ sugar ala tocino!!!!) when you're feelin' down, keep in mind that even when we're a million miles apart, we're only under the same sky... (haha...galing sa text!!!) so anyone who mess up with her, mess up with the whole LAZARO & RAGRAGIO family (kala mo kung ano eh no!!!:P)...love yah cousin!!!

gEwi on me
-- think rory gilmore of the gilmore girls meets carrie bradshaw of sex in the city. mukhang sweet pero mah gas, nakapamakaMUNDO pala. lol! my friend since first year college and my favorite singer.. malufet manglait (hahaha) at malakas tumoma.. in fairness, nagyosi lang yan nung college uh at ngayon eh yosi galore na rin.. sobrang loyal (*ubo, ubo* sa friends, ok?) pero once naging kaaway mo.. well, expect na for life na yun at la na siya care sayu.. yan si erlyn, the girl with the highfaluting words and personality to match. *starbucks ko!*

note: this is somewhat sad

i got this from DeN through lotus notes. It's a song written by Trina Bellamide

It's Valentine's Day again
Chocolates and roses, dinner by candelight
But not for everybody
There'll be three less roses given away tonight
'Coz Jimmy's girl got on a plane
He tried to stop her from leaving but tried in vain
And he'd hand her three roses now
But she lives so far away
To a lonely heart, how does one say
Happy Valentine's Day

It's Valentine's Day again
Long-time lovers lighting the fire once more
But it's gonna be cold tonight
For someone whose lover walked right out the door
See, Anna's fighting back the tears
Broke up with her beau for nine long years
And she's throwing her dreams of walking down the aisle away
To a broken heart, how does one say
Happy Valentine's Day

Cruel, oh so cruel
Be with your lover and be glad
And if you're without a lover
Well, that's just too bad
Cruel, oh so cruel
No other day like this
Can make you long so much
For the one you miss

It's Valentine's Day again
Jay's got the flowers, but somehow it's not the same
Though he knows April's happy
'Coz all he can do is set them on her grave
It's been two years since she passed on
But somehow the pain still lingers on
And no other day can magnify it like this day
To a grieving heart, how does one say
Happy Valentine's Day

How do you say
Happy Valentine's Day

advance happy hearts' day everyone!

i read someone's blog earlier, or i guess it would be more apt to say that i re-read that blog. somehow although i know that things have changed for now, when i try to read through each well written, pensive sentences that depicts that persons raw emotions at those times, i still can't help but feel a twinge of pain. i know that same person wrote so passionately about me at one point in time, and i in turn have captured my thoughts and feelings in ink and paper as well as in cyberspace; in equal if not more passion about someone else some years ago. But then again, that thing called ego, hurts you like hell no matter how you try to make sense of the situation and delude yourself, no matter how you deny it.

there is a line in that blog that somehow drew a sad smile on my face upon re-reading those entries. and this is what it says about me:

She was the perfect girl any guy would want. Smart, caring, loving, intelligent. She would be a great mother of her children.

and as some of you may have guessed, right after those sentences, comes a big and scathing BUT.

i dont have anything to post as of late, my life is a status quo. thus, for the lack of anything good to post, i took a quiz i found at basilisk's blog. and whoa! the result is really surprising! aside from the fact that there are some truths in it, it even points to my fave color - blue. so here's the result of the test.

You're blue — the most soothing shade of the spectrum. The color of a clear summer sky or a deep, reflective ocean, blue has traditionally symbolized trust, solitude, and loyalty. Most likely a thoughtful person who values spending some time on your own, you'd rather connect deeply with a few people than have a bunch of slight acquaintances. Luckily, making close friends isn't that hard, since people are naturally attracted to you — they're soothed by your calming presence. Cool and collected, you rarely overreact. Instead, you think things through before coming to a decision. That level-headed, thoughtful approach to life is patently blue — and patently you!
