heeheehee. guess what? it's my colleague's lucky day today. $1 bet brought him $60, haha.
another colleague commented just before that, that it might be his turn today since i collected $500 a few days back. this guy who commented, had a serial windfall last year. it was unbelievable. he was going.. "strike, i strike!" week after week. it drove us insane too.
so he was citing that it could be our turn this time. haha. i can only laugh now. see what a little windfall does? with today's things getting so expensive, every little bit counts.

        

Political satire at its best. Catch Glenn Beck's current Summer Political Tour and the Dallas show on July 17th, broadcasted live via FathomEvents. A one night only event shown in movie theaters nationwide, this will be a hit and tickets are going fast.
A satirist, delivering parodistic lines with a punch, gives his audience a better understanding of world situations through humour. Sometimes being on different ends of the field, some of the messages may not sit well in the political field. But truth be said, there is no sarcasm without an element of truth.
Glenn Beck, with his special brand of humour will roll you over in your seat. Get warmed up with some of his videos and go catch his political satire comedy, coming soon to a theatre near you!

        

hehehe. so i had a mini windfall. something struck me when i saw a cluster of numbers. threw a couple of dollars and won $500! woohoo!! gave my sister a treat at a nearby restaurant. 7 course lunch, can't finish, packed the whole set untouched and brought back to the office, and my colleague had 2 big slabs of pork ribs!
so today's been kind to me. there should be more days like this, eh? *grins*

        

musicians, are you deaf inside? can you hear you are blasting your heads out? why can't you for pete's sake play a little softer. i think you're so dense in your head you lost some greys playing at high gains all round. who taught you to play like that? my goodness i feel so bad for you. can't you read the word 'gain'? or you cannot read now that you've blown your head out.

        

the reinstatement to my studio is almost complete. they are not on schedule as it was supposed to be done by today. anyway, we're reasonable people and don't want to make an issue of it. going by the way contractors work, i think it's already a miracle that they've kept most things on time.

our last contractors were people that should be pulped to the ground if ever there was a chance. the present ones working on our studios are the building's main contractors who are doing the major retrofitting in our shopping complex.
so, they are professional enough and all the raw materials are already on the premises. cool eh? imagine not having the need to order ceiling boards, rockwool, or even paint, because our ceiling's painted in the same grey tone they're using for the lobby of the building. when they asked if we're okay with it, we were agreeable. i mean, come on, what's there to argue even if we're a tone off. i cannot understand how people can be so fussy.  i hope we don't look like pushovers though, lol!

        

if i could sleep on
forget me not
remember the steps that i used to take
the path that i used to walk
look above when it rains
or, when it shines.

the swallow that flies above
the breath that once was
forget me not
for i will not forget you
when it stops.

        

 BELIEVE or be haunted.. Visit the magical world of CRISS ANGEL, where what you see is not what you get, where illusions become too real for comfort. Come up close and be intrigued.
Explore deeper into the mind of Criss Angel, and see how he is different from the likes of the great master of magic, Harry Houdini. During those times, the magic were perhaps less visual, eg. there are less illusions performed in public places. Props were majorly confined in the performing area of the artiste. Perhaps as audience, we too have become more demanding, having been constantly fed stunning visuals on television and at the cinemas.

If you want to experience a live performance of Criss Angel, this is your chance. "Criss Angel Believe" is going to be shown at Luxor, Las Vegas. The lucky winner to win two tickets to the show must be jumping with joy, and all they had to do was to key in the text message 'Believe' to 22122.
Well fret not, you can still get tickets to the new Cirque Du Soleil performance featuring CRISS ANGEL called CRISS ANGEL Believe, where Criss Angel will take you into his fantasy land and unending surreal adventures limited only by his imagination. Travel and see the world through his eyes as he hovers between the land of the living and the netherworld.

        

when a howl is no more, silence accompanies stillness.
perhaps then it will be peace for the creature, which it has become.
when will it all end? when will the journey start?
there is no mark, for the beast.
that is good i suppose. it has to be.
for the path that was chosen, leads not one to salvation.
but there is no sign of a spirit that once was.
even darkness has its journey. isn't it tedious?

i destroy, and get destroyed. i guess it's a fair exchange. how i got so destructive is anyone's guess. but i have a fair idea. day by day, minutes and seconds, i shed a part of me that was, and replace the parts that were not. i don't know what lies beneath this beast that was once untouched.
