debaser

Yesterday...

I was itching to get some rock band action going , and with nobody around to play the other instruments--i solely grabbed the xbox mic with its corresponding mic stand, and performed with matching ferocity all of the songs in the pixies album. The whole act comes with imagining myself in a fully packed stadium with thousands of screaming fans chanting my name with the 'always happens in an 80s rock concert music video' random chick who throws her bra on you. But in reality i am singing in front of my cat who is just staring there in disbelief on how pathetic his flatmate is.

The consequences of being nicotine free for the past few days have been getting to me -i just feel so fucking restless...i had read a total of 4 books in 1 hour- well...the first few pages of each and every one...the focus to go past page 10 was not happening..i cant stop fantasizing of how fucking wonderful life would be, if in that very instant-im lighting a cigarette, inhaling it like it was the last breath im going to ever have and finally exhaling that breathtakingly beautiful smoke that had passed thru your toxic deprived lungs... must...stop...having..these...thoughts

i finally got to release a shipment of a friends friend at the airport customs yesterday. Basically, the guy owes our ultra-honest government 42k in duties, taxes and other charges for importing a large picture frame for his home. The brilliant customs examiner classified it as for business use and penalized the poor guy for not having an import permit. I exhausted all my powers of "diskarte" and negotiated it for "under the table" 28k just to have the damned article cleared. The government is now 42k poorer in lost potental revenue and the customs examiner can now buy all the saudi gold bling-bling he needs
...Welcome to my glamorous world

i visualize you as one of those ally mcbeal, scrubs type character who has a wild imagination and lives in a world of his own.

did you know that it "clearly" states in the customs booklet that stewardesses give away for passengers entering the Phils. that "all imported articles are subject to tax"
nothing extremely vague about that huh?!

- blue skies smiling on me

the thought of you acting all rockstar is making me giggle!

-thats what she said! hahaha

Going cold turkey during this time I think is a good idea, they're planning on raising the tax for nicotine also booze due to the oil price hike.

So even before you start wasting more money on over priced cigarettes, you'll be clean. :) Keep it up.

Had you worn spandex (preferably electric blue) and sang power ballads, your feline flatmate wouldn't have stared in disbelief at your patheticalness. He, or she, would've just... stared.

Love 'Debaser' -- next to 'I Wanna be Sedated,' it's the most-played song in my iPod. Gives you an idea as to my state of mind nowadays.

Bakit parang puro babae yata nagco-comment dito sa blog mo, dude?

Nothing new with our customs officials. That's just a teeny tiny glimse of what's really going on with our taxpayers hard earned cash. They enjoy sucking the life out of the ones below and giving more blood to the ones on top of the food chain. GRRRRR.....

Congrats on a nicotine-free week. Keep it up :)

I'm with Renski though, bakit nga naman puro kami babae dito LOL.....
