i've been sitting the whole day in front of the computer without really any direction. i surfed, and surfed and surfed some more. i found a thing or two of relevance sure, but i admit that i wasted time staring at the screen and not knowing what i want to do.
early on i wanted to make an entry, something that would make the audience feel envy that i'm living my life. but because my existence is everything but meaningful and exciting, i was not able to come up with a good one.
so bear with me. these are things that i have realized today, be they of any importance to you.

$$and no. i am not held in particular anticipation with the coming of king kong as i prefer either realistic movies or those adventurous in theme less nonhumanlike protagonists. in my mind i can't help but ask, "what's so good about a giant gorilla waving madly at security forces choppers while clinging to the empire state building?"$$

i have just finished reading lasher by anne rice, and violin (by the same author) before that. i am looking forward to finishing the vampire lestat before christmas. pray that i do not get too lazy.

my routine: i wake up around 9 in the morning and read 'til i get hungry; i grab brunch and if no one's using the computer, i begin my faithful pounding on the keyboard, which, lasts until i figure my fingers or eyes can no longer stand it, or my sister's hollering me and tearing me off the machine; if it's way too long before 530p, i try to catch a few winks if not i turn the tv on and enjoy the shift of shows mentioned below; after the last one, i go up to my room and start readin until my eyes hurt again; i then drift into sleep, subconsciously wondering if i had anything for dinner.
there are four daily weekday programs that i religiously watch. the first one is naruto. this is my all-time favorite anime, amen to that. second is frog prince. never mind what people think. i am a slave of funny asianovelas. next is etheria, the sequel to encatadia. i am aware that this is the filipino attempt at something classic like LOTR. the production's short of that, naturally, but i daresay the storyline's working it's magic on me. last is jewel in the palace, another asianovela. it's not funny, but i am rather entertained by the unique setup and i feel attached, if you could imagine that, to the good guys (or girls, for that matter).
