funny. while i was riding a jeepney on my way to work, (daily morning routine: jeep from home to guadalupe. bus from guadalupe to shaw blvd, on foot from edsa to osma) sitting at the farthest from the driver, the dude across me yawned a big one while a commercial played on the radio. his yawn coincided with the part of the commercial where a woman is screaming in a pitch voice, which made it seem as if he was screaming like a woman. ive encountered this spectacle many times before and it never fails to crack me up inside. usually it's a tenor belting out a high note and someone would happen to yawn at the exact same time. ive seen an old man on the street yawn, eyes closed and wrinkled up, to the "oooh" part of hallelujah by bamboo. classic. wish i had a video camera in hand to capture that silly moment. and then edit it together with others into a music video of yawns. someday... maybe...

score! i just received my first "thank you" reply from a customer i'd assisted through e-mail, and it feels good. more of this and i just might really like this job. as an inherently good person, i enjoy helping people, especially on cases where no one else can, and that simple two-worded sign of gratitude is the best unasked-for reward anyone can give. i never expect anything in return but i find it unfair and downright evil when you lend someone a hand and what they give you back is somethin negative. makes you wanna take back the help and rip the skin off their damn thick faces (inherently good person?!).

btw, i borrowed my younger sister's season one dvd of the medical drama/comedy house for lack of anything to watch in our apartment (have yet to go on that dvd hunt). any of you guys seen/watch it? good show, imho. it's csi in a hospital. each episode starts off with a case and the painkiller-addicted, antisocial, sarcastic dr. house and his team of young 'uns bash their brains together (and against each other) to find out what the mysterious disease is. the drama's not too heavy and the comedy's not to all-out. i also like the characters' relationships with each other. dr. house is kinda like grissom but ruder and more personal. but he's got a tinge of horatio (csi miami) in him i think, especially with the way he speaks. layla thinks it's a bit pretentious and that the abundance of medical turns puts her off. not me. bring on the m.r.i.'s and the echo ii's and the neurocystercercosis! it's fun, educational, and it has the prettiest doctor ever, jennifer morrison! (cough cough...) im on episode nine and plannin to do a review when ive watched them all.

before i scram, i want you to do something for me. tell me something you want me to talk about. anything. it could start like: "hey, skiz, what do you think about...?" or something. let's make this blog a little more interactive than just posting comments (which rarely happens...) whatever it is, folks, something you've had in mind for a long time or something that just popped into your head, offer it for my blabbering. magic word: please. magic word #2: now.

that, and couple of other new things i'll be trying out will grace the pages of filler in the coming days. aren't you excited?! no? meh! me neither. but ima do it anyways. because... i am the chosen one! the chosen one, i say. the chosen one!!!

p.s. wish me lucky forty-three million times on my learning measure exam tomorrow. wish it! i command thee!
