the nocturnal is in the house

got this as a text message:
kung nag-swardspeak lang sana sila di walang gulo ngayon:
female voice: Halloo, Gracia! Halloo Halloo!
male voice: Mother! nachukchak ko na po yung mga chuva!
female voice: bongga! yung mga tienes tienes, carry na ba?
male voice: winnie santos, Mother, wa na worry sa mindanaoitch!
end of story.. unless john osmena interprets it..

tamabols itich. ayan tuloy, luz valdez ang beauty ni madam nang mabukingkich. nag-chorychory pa, chamukrah din naman ang mga dragraching. weh.

probably one of the more frustrating experiences one can have is being unable to sleep when you desperately want and need to. i’ve been having this weird coughing spells at around 2 to 4 in the morning, and once i start i can’t go back to sleep. what’s worse is i usually fall asleep at around 1:30, so i’ve only been sleeping for 30 minutes when the coughing starts, first a mild itch that builds up to some loud coughing that wakes me up.

ever heard of power naps? first time i heard about this i doubted that people can actually do this.

turns out i am fully capable of having a power nap during the wee hours of the morning. i only need 15 minutes of dreamless sleep, and when i come around, i’m good to go again. strangely enough, i can only do this when i absolutely don’t have the need for it. gahdammit to hell.

now my body clock is all screwed up, i end up sleeping till 12 noon. and i’m desperately trying to change that. i no longer take naps in the afternoon ( precisely the time i really do need the freaking power nap..), i run, work out, do errands, try hard not to fall asleep during the day.. when i plop into bed i’m so tired already that i’m out in 5 to 10 minutes.

then something, or anything, wakes my ass up, and i can’t go back to sleep anymore. most nights it’s my low-capacity, untrained bladder; it could be the dogs barking furiously at something; an incoming spam email… lately it’s these coughing fits. for weeks its been like: 130am, lights out. 2am, i get up, can’t sleep again till 5 am. drat. the situation is getting really desperate.

good thing i am a lazy-ass "self-employed" bloke. i can’t imagine this happening to good, hardworking 9 to 5 citizens. maybe my body has been accustomed to this sleeping pattern for so long that any of my attempts to try out a normal sleeping routine is rejected by my body, or worse, my subconcious.

looking back i noticed that i’ve been doing this for at least 8 years, ever since i graduated and became an architect. after surviving college getting by with only 3 to 4 hours of sleep a day, my body is accustomed to sleeping during the day and flying by night. but hey, i ain’t working all the time, mind you. i don’t want people ever thinking that i work hard. except for my mom.

well, there was one period when i just graduated and had a construction project that allows me to get up very late, so i spent my nights playing diablo in the playstation..

then the period when baldur’s gate came out.. around the same time i also got addicted to playing jagged alliance 2. and commandos: beyond the call of duty..

when we still had an office in pasig i would work out from 11pm to 1 am, then get to playing baldur’s gate 2 until 5 or 6 in the morning.. hmm…i think maybe that’s it.

the past year i really have been working in the real sense of the word, hitting bed at around 12 to get up at 7 or 8 to work until 9 pm again the next day, including weekends. that has been the longest that i have had work at a regular schedule. now after 16 months of regular programming, my body is probably looking for the good old times. whatever.

so being unable to sleep last night, (tonight i just gave up and never even tried to lay in bed anymore..) i was able to catch the performances in rockstar:inxs, and was keen on finding out if homeboy mig can kick it with these fools. turns out he can. some quick notes:

dave navarro looks prettier than his wife carmen electra. seems to me that it is he who’s been having beauty treatments and shit. damn, man, you’re starting to look like prince..

brooke burke is falling off. kinda’.

the house band rocks.

jordis will go far. the only female here who appears to have a fighting chance. if all the other female rockers performed in front of simon cowell, they’d probably be spit on in the eye. word? word.

brandon looks very much like a rocker, but i think he’s limited.

tyler, the black dude with the mohawk, is really talented. but i don’t think he’s gonna fit in with the old geezers of inxs. i just think there’s too much in him of a gay quality trying to surface. when a member of inxs commented on his "theatrics", taas ang kilay ng bruha! ayaw bumabah ng kelay ng swardaching! i have this image of him trying very hard not to start wagging his finger, probably going: "uh-humn.. don’t your raggedy-ass go telling me off about what I do wrong, gurl-friend..rekanize talent, bi-atch, i am a diva. hol-la!". i have to disagree about what everyone thought about his rendition of everybody hurts. nope. wasn’t feeling that one.

marty is pa-cute. his eyes look scared. he can’t do this. plus, contrary to what all the others thought, he absolutely desecrated that nirvana song he did. it was utter rubbish, mate.

and j.d…. j.d, j.d.,j.d… well, when the song selections came out, he got so hyped up in taking "we are the champions" for himself, went as far as begging jordis to let him have it, only to find out later that he doesn’t have the pipes to pull off the song. can’t reach the high notes, boy, it was pathetic. he came right back at jordis, begging again to switch songs (dude even flirted a little..), but this time girlfriend refused. i was laughing my ass off, and i was having this coughing fit, remember? i was really in danger of dying from laughing and coughing at the same time. it was totally hilarious.

next he tried re-arranging it so that it had a weird funky island beat to it, but the band advised him not to go through with that load of dung. so come performance time, he started off with a different key, tried all sorts of theatrics to get through the performance, like letting the audience sing some of the parts, i’m telling you: i nearly keeled over from laughing. that got too dangerous for me, son.

and, and, and, get this: unable to even decently sing the song, he had his sister( that according to him, he hasn’t seen in 2 years..) come out of the audience and hug him during that crap-and-shit pie of a performance. now he claims that he broke down when he saw his sister in the audience, the reason why he lost it. but we all know he lost it a long time ago before that, so ha-ha. he knows he’s in a heap of trouble, and pulled out all kinds of shit to have an excuse. he probably planned the appearance of her sister. what a fucking birdass, using his sister like that. the minute you saw your sister you didn’t care anymore what was coming out of your mouth? we do. shit was coming out of your mouth, j.d., a whole goddamn load of it.

i say he should have been dragged around tied to a jeep, hung on a tree and shot. with his pants down. he absolutely murdered that song that freddy mercury would’ve come back from the dead and did all the things i just mentioned himself.

and he’s trying hard not to give it away that he’s gay, too. come on, sister, let your hair out, we’ll appreciate you even more.

mig ayesa, i think, really has the talent to go far. he has experience and he loves performing. if you saw the footage where he tried out "we are the champions" himself after j.d. practiced it with the house band and he totally nailed it, you’ll see what i mean. at 35, he’s even old enough to blend in perfectly with the members of inxs, plus, he grew up in london, so he’ll probably fit in just fine. props to him for mentioning his Lola and his filipino heritage in his blog.

well, j.d. dodged bullets like neo, and two chicks got the axe tonight, not just one. the band’s decision to do that was just brilliant. no disrespect to the two, they have talent, but the band felt they can’t do an album and a world tour with any of these two frontin’ them so why waste time? they’ll probably be a right fit with another band, but not inxs. can’t see these two doing "not enough time" and "beautiful girl". hutchence had range. mad range.

oh-kay, enough of that. read somewhere that RP’s proposed budget for 2007 is 1 trillion.

lang?

anak ng pitugo, mangungutang na rin lang tayo’t paduduguin pa natin ang sambayanan e bakit di na natin gawing 2 trillion? parang ayaw ko na itanong kung saan kukunin at gagamitin to, a.

a great game that my friend passed along in an email. para sa mahihilig pumasok sa buhol. at least pag nahuli ka ng boss mo na nilalaro mo ‘to, ang impression niya mathematician ka pala… e ako nahuli dati nagma-minesweeper, e, wala lang..

turns out eminem is not retiring. saka bati na sila ni moby.

well, that’s it. it’s 4 am and i’ll try to get some shuteye.
