it’s all about the taxis, billboards, sidewalks, cinemas, zebra lines, lights, sounds, people, skyscrapers and shopping malls.

Something will happen the day after tomorrow

Or maybe tomorrow. No, today.

I can’t sleep. There’s this thoughts at the back of my head that I can’t describe what it is. I suddenly remembered what I have said to myself the other day that, something will happen only the day after tomorrow. These are few random words with no apparent rhyme or reason, which I had been unable to explain. I doubt very much that I was dreaming again. But I doubt very much I was sleeping, I thought, and then, as I continue to remember the same phrase, I allowed my mind to follow the same thoughts, and the phrase began to ring in my head like an obsessive litany.

Maybe some things will happen only the day after tomorrow, some things will happen tomorrow, some things will happen today - I just can’t remember what they were. Then I took up the same phrase in reverse as I repeated and repeated it many times that the meaning of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow has finally lost all sound and sense to me. All that remained in my head is like a danger light flashing on and off.

It will happen today, today, today, today. Today what? It’s now five early in the morning as I ask myself abruptly, trying to shake off the absurd feeling of apprehension making my hands shake as I type this. I’m feeling worried. No, I’m feeling different - in light weight. I have no reason to be worried. Is someone thinking of me? Did I forgot something in the office? Did I missed a call to somebody that it makes me feel like I try to remember but doesn’t come out in my head? I don’t know if you can really tell if few days from now, I don’t know whatelse to call it, it’ll just pretty much my usual day. I have to think it over again. What the hell will happen tomorrow? Is that today?

Oh, I tried. I tried to recall, but otherwise I’m fine. I’m excited of tomorrow. Of what? The words that we constantly use wouldn’t surprise us in the least if, as we were passing from this world to the next, we don’t come up the strenght to respond to someone who had the insane idea to ask how we were.

I don’t understand what I’m saying, if tomorrow I will remember it, I’ll tell myself. It’s going to complicate the way we ask our own questions, as you can imagine, it is much more complicated than that. Maybe someone will surprise me tomorrow. I hope not.

For a matter of moments, I will be awake again. I hate surprises, I hate pretending it will be okay, perhaps I’m wanting myself to say I have in my head but it doesn’t easily come out. Perhaps, tomorrow, today or the day after tomorrow.

Yes I have no way of knowing what will it be like tomorrow and I’ll only find out when I get there. I need another sleep.

my.. K are you psychic?
I hope whatever it is that you feel will happen is a good thing.
drink milk. it will help you go sleep :)

 
Wavatar K» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

No, silly. I’m no Nostradamus. Maybe something good will happen. I woke up today completely clueless about what I wrote.

Well simply it was just about something that I might do tomorrow or today. Is it Friday yet? I’ll normally get up, have breakfast, get dressed, get in the lift, go to work, and so on.

But wait - there’s something special. I still don’t remember, hahaha.

Talking about sleep, I think I dreamt something interesting last night.

Hope you can catch some Zzs as well.

 
Wavatar K» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

It wasn’t about dreaming really. I think I’ve eaten too much and sleeping late for the World Cup games.

I think believing something can happen and it will possibly come true. I don’t know what it is yet but I truly believe it will happen, and it probably will. I usually make up small movies in my mind then I would picture future goals as if they are going to happen.

 
Wavatar range» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

I think that’s called visualizing or something like that. I dreamt of dinosaurs attacking a city, including a giant mega dinosaur, as big as the statue of liberty. A cooler looking godzilla. Will blog about this tomorrow. It’s pretty late tonight.

“It’s pretty late tonight.”

Sorry to hear that - but start writing a draft or you will end up forgetting what you might actually want to write about. :mrgreen:
Cheers!

Yeah, I’ve already got my post pretty much finished for tomorrow. I might add a view more things before posting it tomorrow morning.

Same here, I keep on changing my headmast. I hope wordpress can add more THEMES like the Regulus.

Looking forward for your next post.

k … have question for you … out of topic to ha :)
the thomas is just about to get me the latest ipod (the one with video) … but not sure if it’s really for me … can you please enlighten me with the the positives of having one? and also the nega na rin :)
mwah!

 
Wavatar K» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

Are you really gonna need a video in your ipod? My ipod is the 4th generation, not colored screen, no video, not too slim but it’s still an ipod and I’m still enjoying it.

For your case, there’s the 40GB video iPod, very slim and it’s definately not because of the video but it’s more powerful, the bass sound is more enhanced than the previous. Don’t ask him the Nano, its stylish but the sad truth is it’s already obsolete - and although it’s relatively very tiny, otherwise it’s not enjoyable since you can’t really see what’s playing on your screen.

Besides that, an iPod is like your baby, there’s a lot of adornments to add, like a pair of iPod speakers, a silicon cover, a super-galeng pair of headsets and a computer to install the software and download your music. So it’s fun to have one.

My top choices:
1. Pocket Pc - with cam, phone, video, and mp3.
2. Mobile phone - with cam, video and mp3
3. iPod video - no phone, no cam, just mp3.

But, I really want an iMAC laptop.

Nowadays, say Sony erricson is pretty much the trend now in the market or the excellent pocket PC. It’s a walking computer with a mobile phone, music player, camera, organiser, games machine, and pretty much everything apart from the kitchen sink, which is crammed into one attractive, effective and easy-to-use package.

So ok, personally, I quite like having an iPod, which plays music and that is it. Their Clickwheel on the front allows you to find one song among 4,000 that’s why it becomes the ’super gadget’ popular among different buyers.

PS: I wonder why everytime you send your comments, it goes into my SPAM box.

 
Wavatar range» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

I have a 3rd or 4th gen too, 40GB no color screen, no vids, nada. It holds a lot of music. I thought about changing, but it wasn’t worth it for 20 GB extra. I will wait until 100 GB iPods are out before thinking about changing again.

 
Wavatar K» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

I will wait until 100 GB iPods are out before thinking about changing again.

Hey that’s a good news. I walked today at the computer shop and tried few iPod’s. The price is still a bit expensive although I’m literally considering to buy a new one, maybe I’ll just wait for that 100GB to arrive maybe later this year when I get my salary bonus.

 
Wavatar grace» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

that’s what i thought so … it’s just a more techy walkman (not considering of course the video aspect) … wondering what gadget would be best for my personality … really not into video :)

 
Wavatar grace» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

that’s what i thought so … the ipod is just a hi-tech walkman (excluding of course the video aspect) … dont think i’m sold on the idea of having one though i was super excited on the fact that i can hear my favorite songs while working out :)
thanks tito k!

 
Wavatar K» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

Well Ms Gracie, just get the latest iPod. I don’t think you will use up 40GB worth of music in your rotation. Just keep coming back here for your music downloads however let me know what music you like so I can share my mp3’s.

re spam: hala! baka there’s a virus infecting my files …

 
Wavatar K» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

I swear, all your comments has been blocked for the reason I’m not certain. Maybe it’s from your connections, the few 6 digits of your IP was caught by my Akismet spam plugin. Every now and then, spam bots are attacking this blog - most of them are related to sex and dildos hahaha, I swear I don’t know how to stop them. :mrgreen:

 
Wavatar range» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

You know what, even if the new ipods are all the rage, I’d just buy an older one off Ebay. I bet those 40GB ones and the Ipod photo ones are cheap on ebay because the new ones came out.

I learnt this from my wife. Why pay the premium for new stuff if you can have it used for 45% of the list price.

 
Wavatar K» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

That’s really cheap. Although I feel it’s not secure to purchase online, there are many gadget options around here. iPod is just too popular “because everybody else’s using it” that’s why people pick this stuff. IMO, I really don’t mind if I listen to my Nokia phone for my mp3 since I am not a traveller and I walk just 10mins to work, I hardly use my iPod anyway.

There’s a new Sony mp3 which is almost the same as an iPod. I have to try that yet since iPod is more friendly to download music than anything else.

K, that sounded very much like a tongue twister.. tomorrow, today, tomorrow, today, today, tomorrow.. sheesh..

Anyways, it’s saturday tomorrow.. so have a blasting weekend ahead!

 
Wavatar K» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

Sorry Asha, words just rhymes sometimes. I always put meaning to everything I say, some people might think I’m corny but that’s how I see life - and oh I forgot it’s Saturday already.

I will enjoy the moment, happy weekend to you too. :mrgreen:

Usually they say that masturbation helps for someone to get some sleep. Hey Knoizki I have a new game on my blog btw.

 
Wavatar K» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

Hahaha Charles, who told you this idea? It’s probably just all in my “head”. I will pass no worries.

A game? Ok, I will try to ‘peek-a-boo’ and see what others are doing.

 
Wavatar jane» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

someone must be thinking of you K! :) i’m insomniac and no amount of milk or sleeping pills will do but i recommend a warm bath with rose petals and a glass of warm milk before bed time….lemme know if it helps ok? nytnyt…sweet dreams :)

 
Wavatar K, speaking! » The Last Time» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

[...] Now that I remembered why I couldn’t sleep last night. It was because my mind was bothering of wanting me to remember of something will happen this month. I’m talking about the person that I still fell in love who died many years ago. This month, I’ll be celebrating in silence and prayers for that special someone. [...]

“…but i recommend a warm bath with rose petals and a glass of warm milk before bed time..”

No love, I don’t have a bath-tub, I don’t use rose petals (nagsa-shower gel lang ako at batong panghilod) and I’m having a glass of milk plus a cigarette. I even went out for a little stroll but everything was simply just about nothing, I find peace staying indoors after those shopping week I had a few days.

Ok, I’m finishing my book - nasa page 57 pa lang ako. Thanks and happy weekend too, Jane.

Right now I’m so sleepy, I think I’ll go back to sleep. Got woken up by a phone call from my wife.

 
Wavatar K» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

Hahah range, the wife was probably checking about your going to bed late. Does she knows you’re a blog-addict now? :mrgreen:

Hi Rennyba yes the GAME. Thank you for coming. That’s quite a surprise really.

 
Wavatar range» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

Nope, K, it’s the time difference. She calls me at midnight local time. Where she is, tis 9 pm. She knows I blog. Just finished my first vlog. Trouble is, its 500mb and 20 minutes long. I’ve been trying to split in decently into clips, its a learning process. At the same time, I’m running out of space on my main HD, gonna have to burn some stuff.

 
Wavatar K» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

A Vlog? Like a video? How would you do that on your free wordpress account? I’ve been trying to find a free podcast to try on but in no avail.

My blogging tends to be on early morning like right now, five in the morning (in case I’m on my day off) otherwise I do participate freely during afternoon my time.

Where is she?

 
Wavatar range» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

To podcast you just need a headset and audacity 1.3 beta. You record your voice, add music tracks or separate, assemble them, its pretty straightforward. I host my podcast on odeo.

For vlog, I use a basic capture, I haven’t gotten all sophisticated yet, and then I split up the video into smaller parts and upload them to YouTube. You then use the embed code from WP to embed the YouTube videos on a page on your blog.[youtube= youtubeurlofthevideo]

My wife is in BC, on the Isle of Vancouver. It’s the other side of Canada. That’s where I’m moving.

 
Wavatar K» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

I have an Audacity, been using them during my “singing days” in one of the chatrooms over at paltalk.com. Then ok, I have that - how do you out that on your blog for people to hear? Is that a free service?

Maybe you can sing in your video range? It’s gonna be cool. Check it out here.

 
Wavatar range» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

K, no singing in my video, its recorded for this week already.

For podcasts
You record your voice, add music. And then you upload to a file server, like Odeo. It’s a free service, it creates your own channel where you can then add your podcasts. It generates an RSS feed too, so you can have that up on you WP site, or add a direct link to the MP3 of the podcast hosted on Odeo.

For vlog
Same with YouTube, only difference is that you have to make sure that your vlog isn’t bigger than 100 MB.

 
Wavatar K» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

Thanks for the Odeo info. However I went to check your Vlog for YouTube but I find it very strange. The video doesn’t load, it says “loading” and waited for a about 3mins and there’s nothing in there - never fear, it’s probably my connection (I’m on cable) that has problems or maybe the file is huge I needed to wait for a little while. I’ll try to watch it again later.

Just don’t worry too much and live life to the max in the present! Life is simpler and more fun if you do.

 
Wavatar K» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

That’s why I always prefer to write positives rather than negatives. We all have so much to be grateful for.

Thanks for the enlighthenment, Jack.

 
Wavatar range» added these pithy words on: Jul 7, 2006

It is a bit big… but it loaded fine over here.

No problem for Odeo.

I find wp.com very slow right now. I can’t keep up with this constant time-out connections and arrrggghhhhh the theme is screwing up big time, it went back to the default color (which is blue and orange). :eek:

Thanks NEKO, sometimes our mind is also our best enemy, it’s moving us from the rest, but leaving us alone. What I mean is, can see the truth but I just don’t want to admit it. :eek:
