i finally fell asleep around 2 A.M. earlier today. it was in the middle of a star trek episode wherein the captain and some of his crew were transformed back to their pre-adolescent forms. the ironic thing about it is that it's hard for me to believe that Picard even had a childhood. he seems to be so wise it's hard to imagine that he ever made mistakes when he was a kid.

there were three children here at the house yesterday. looking at them, I can help but and reminisce about my childhood. it seems so lost now. when you are a child everything is so clear and simple and pure and sweet and nice. then you grow up and find out that things aren't simple at all. that they don't have a way of working themselves out. it's too bad I fell asleep. it would have been fun to see the ending of that episode.

my yahoogroups had an E.B. yesterday. judging by the reactions in today's EMAIL, with slight everyone had a blast, which is really nice, considering all the politics that tried to destroy the group. I wish I was there.

one of my block mates is arriving from Malaysia on the 28th, a day after my birthday. she's inviting me to spend the night at her house, along with the rest of our barkada back in college. it would've been less complicated if one of them had not been my ex girlfriend. I mean, we've patched things and all but it's never been easy for me. I heard that she has a new boyfriend now, a guy from physics. I doubt that he's as good looking as me though :)

finally getting used to this speech recognition thing. it's not as accurate as I hoped but I can live with it.
