Stickers, Stickers
I'm making car stickers for our egroup. I know it's weird for a cycling group to have car stickers. It's a long story. Anyway, I already posted a design on the group's frontpage but I'm not getting any responses from them yet. So to ease my impatience, I posted three of them in this blog as well. Just want to know which one you guys like. Also, if you have comments or a a better tagline, fire away!

Guess Who's Number One?
For someone who doesn't know shit about basketball, being in top place is priceless. Yes, that's me -- Basement 3 Parkers! As the great Rex Navarette once said, "What do you think of me now, lola?" Hahahahahahaha!

Valentines ngayon
At may meeting ako sa Makati
Nang alas singko ng hapon.
Pagkatapos noon
Palagay ko'y pagsisisihan ko
Ang 'di pagdala ng bisikleta.

I am surprisingly happy and satisfied with all the things I accomplished at work today. This doesn't happen to me that often lately. Usually, I would be running hopelessly trying to cope up with all that I have to do. You know how it is when you wear quite a number of hats - from mobile games to cable channels.
The secret? I tried out what I read from Time magazine about how successful people handle their time and focused one stuff at a time, blocking most of the unnecessary items that hinder me from actually accomplishing anything. I wrote down all that I have to do, and right after I'm through I cross them out.
Crossing out an item from the list with a pen feels good. It's way different than deleting an item from my digital notepad. With an actual list on paper, I get to see all the items that I crossed out. On a computer to-do list, once it's done and you delete it, there are no traces of it ever existing and you're left with the stuff you still need to do.
Tomorrow is another round. I don't know how it will turn out. Right now I don't want to think about it. What matters now is today.

I just received a text from Karen. I logged in the internet hoping it's just a bad joke, but I was saddened to find out that it's true - 79 66 people were killed at the ULTRA stampede.
Since the early part of this week, I saw people camp out in the sidewalks around ULTRA to be the first ones in line for today's Wowowee first anniversary show. Yesterday morning, there were so many people that it reached the bottom of the hill near Valle Verde 1 with five people deep. Last night they had to close the streets.
This is a national tragedy. And I'm not referring to the stampede but to the mere fact that people had to camp out for days for an almost non-existent chance of winning the pot and improving their lives.
It seems more and more people lose hope. And so instead of looking for jobs and other means to earn a living, they'd rather wait for the kubrador, place their bets and pray to Hesus Nazareno for a miracle.
