Muntik ko nang makalimutan na may video pala akong ganito.
Isa pang dahilan para bumalik ng Pico, di lang ang magandang tanawin, ang maaksyong akyatin kundi pati ang mga alaala na sadyang kay saya.
Ayos, di ba?! Hehe

Mourning for a mission failed
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them
I beaten down again, I failed you
--Truth, Seether
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I beaten down again, I failed you
--Truth, Seether
Last night's dilemma--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life and death of some sort but not exactly; That confusing feeling of having two ropes tugging your neck from different directions and having to choose which rope to cut, and which direction you want to be dragged in. Making choices between fighting for a cause you believe in or a fight against what you fear.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today: no matter how much I thought of everything last night, it all came down to one thing. Nothing. I failed myself and everyone else. May pa-advo-'advocacy' pa akong nalalaman. Fotcha. I feel really bad. Now, more than ever, I'm a loser. Weakling. Antok lang ang katapat. Sorry nang marami.

.....
This is life and death of some sort but not exactly.
Imagine your head being tugged with two ropes from different directions and choice have to be made between which rope to cut, and which direction you want to be dragged in. See, it's about choosing between fighting for a cause you believe in or missing a class you fear on failing. It's not that I actually fear the failing, but this is my last shot at graduating or I'd have to pay for my own tuition. You know my graduation is already three semesters, that's a year and a half, overdue and I've been a freeloader too long [I'm getting tired of it]. And it's fact that programming is not my line, and in a major subject that tackles programming, every meeting is of the essence if you want to pass. For some of my 'more complex' subjects through my years in college, completing the attendance has always gave me that good hope for that magical decimal, 1.00. I still hope to make the cut as Octoberian but doubt is still running through my head.

Tryin'a-keep-n-min'
...what the heavens are trying to say; I trying to listen but I hear this noise, voices from the back of my head, keeping me from doing what has to be done, keeping me from doing it well. What a buggy day.
Ayumsatsélowser.

Gusto kong matulog, matulog nang matulog.
I'm sick.
Sick of this life. I'm not yet dying but this life is killing me. Sana pwedeng i-freeze frame ang buhay, or mag-skip scene or mas maganda, delete.
Not that nothing good is happening but it's just that somebody needs a break. Too many things happening at the same time, too many things that had to be done. I almost had it the other day. Almost went to a day out.
I rode a bus bound for Tagaytay since I'm already late for school but while sitting there idle, waiting for the conductor to collect my fare, I thought why not go to Tagaytay instead. I could and almost did it but something hit me. I have nowhere to go to in Tagaytay and I only have my allowance for the day. Where can it possibly get me?
Only thing I can do: huminga nang malalim.
Had me wishing, sana life can be lent or given to the more needy. Who wants my life? I'd give it for free. Mas maraming dying people who wants to live longer. but got only a few months or days to live. Pagod na ko. Okay sana kung maipapamigay ko na lang ang buhay ko, nakapagpasaya na ako ng ibang tao, nakatulong pa ako.
I'm not sure if I mean what I'm saying. Baka stress lang ito o baka naman gutom lang ito. Late na naman ang dinner ko. Pero ilang linggo na lang tapos na ito. Judgement day. Hindi ko na mahintay.
Bakasyon. Kailangan ko nang magbakasyon. Tara.
Kahit paano nakabawi na ako ng tulog. Actually, natulog lang ako maghapon, magdamag ngayong weekend.
At kung papayagan pa ng pagkakataon, matutulog ako ng bonggang-bongga ngayong linggo.
TARA, Tulog tayo!!! zzzZ (--__--) Zzzz

What I want for Christmas
The camera built for life's adventures. The Stylus 790 SW is packed with technology tailored for active people. The Shockproof, Waterproof and Freezeproof design means it's incredibly durable, but it's also sleek, stylish and available in five cool color options. The new Face Detection feature recognizes subjects' faces and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portraits. Whether you're playing volleyball at the beach, mountain biking or just hanging out at the pool, the Stylus 790 SW is a must-have vacation and party accessory.
SHOCKPROOF (5FT).
It's a tough little camera. The durable metal body, floating circuit board and innovative shock-absorbing construction protects your Stylus 790 SW camera and images from drops up to 5 feet.
WATERPROOF (10FT).
Don't just take it to the pool, take it in the pool. Innovative, waterproof seals and gaskets allow you to take amazing underwater pictures and movies in the pool or even in the ocean.
FREEZEPROOF (-10°C/14°F).
It's perfect for skiing, snowboarding, sledding and other winter fun, because it's winterized to perform at below-freezing temperatures. You can take great pictures even in extreme weather conditions.
FACE DETECTION.
Automatically focuses on your subjects' faces and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures.
The high-resolution, 7.1-megapixel image sensor delivers superior quality for larger prints without sacrificing detail.
The precision-crafted 3x optical zoom Olympus lens delivers sharper, clearer images and brings you closer to the action without taking a step.
The 2.5" HyperCrystal™ LCD provides an extra-wide viewing angle and anti-glare technology that make it easy to compose and shoot. Plus, it lets you share photos with family and friends even in bright, direct sunlight.
Digital Image Stabilization combines high ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speeds so you can freeze the action to capture sharp, blur-free images.
Certified as an Olympus Eco-product, this camera has a reduced environmental footprint across its entire product lifecycle, which encompasses not only the product and its packaging, but also the manufacturing and logistical processes in bringing the product to the marketplace.
Accidents happen, but the Shockproof Stylus 790 SW is nearly accident proof. A rugged metal body and revolutionary shock-absorbing construction are designed to withstand a 5-foot drop, bump or other mishap.
Take it swimming, snorkeling or to the water park. The revolutionary system of waterproof seals and gaskets keeps water out, so you can take movies and pictures as deep as 10 feet.
It's the ideal camera for the slopes and sledding with the kids, because it's winterized to perform at below-freezing temperatures (-10°C/14°F).
Face Detection makes it easy to take portraits. It tracks faces within the frame and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant photos.
Shadow Adjustment Technology will help you capture all the amazing details exactly as you see them. You'll capture smiles, even in backlight scenes; you'll pick up detail, even in the shadows cast by bright sunlight.
Developed for the professional digital SLR, the TruePicTM III Image Processor redefines image quality by delivering true-to-life color, smoother edges and less noise.
Before you take the shot, let Perfect Shot Preview display the effects of various settings including zoom, exposure, white balance and metering - right on the LCD.
