I do miss baseball, but most importantly, I miss the W's.
No, I don't have a different baseball team right now.
W's stand for Wins, and I miss the feeling of winning. The Orioles games have been making me and everyone else cry. We haven't encountered a lot of wins, and we crave each one of them. When the O's win, we savor them (savor 2 wins out of 14 games, thats great). How I wish we can be like last year at least, but we're worse than last year. The Astros at least have 3 wins now. The Mets have 5 wins (a lil better off than us), the Pirates have 7 wins (for crying out loud). The Orioles, Ive got to say, is at the slumpiest I can imagine. oh have mercy!
We dont have a star closer to blame right now. We don't have a highest paid player to blame even. We have to point it to a collective reason why there are no wins. We have limited pitching power, we have problems with our batters. No one can drive themselves back to the home plate even, and I dont even know for what reason this is happening.
Before the end of last season, we had a start to the "new" Trembley approach. Is this still part of it, coz even last season, that Trembley approach didn't work. That was the time we had a 12 game losing streak. Don't we get a trend to this?
I miss Bergesen, Reimold, Scott, Markakis, and Jones. If they can even be the slightest of themselves last year, that would be really nice. But this is not the Bergesen we knew from May-July 2009. This is not the Reimold we saw who was running for Rookie of the Year last season. This is not the Scott before All-Stars. This is not Markakis who had the eagle eye and can bat with sure power. This is not the Golden Glove/ All-Star CF Jones. This is a messed up team who seemed to come from the minors, and we are the worst in MLB rankings right now.
Besides these, our problem lies with us earning more injuries and players on DL. Roberts, Tejada, Pie, and even Gonzo all are out of shape at present. This is what's contributing to the great Orioles fall. Its the saddest song that we'll ever hear all season.
We've just begun but it is giving all concerned the desperation and anxiety to at least do something good, something better. Is it a curse? I hope not. Is it a type of mismanagement? Maybe. Is it a feeling of being crapped out or intimidated? I hope not. It's just begun and unless the Orioles do something to get things better, this season will be a LONG season.
I have a wonderful life but there are people who make it suck.
(1) neighbors- they suck. or most of them do. stupid, careless, insensitive. they suck.
(2) those people who are screaming hell on the streets at 12midnight. im freaking working on my big ideas, and most people are asleep. its their third wave of their freaking screaming, oh wait fourth. eff them. really eff them. they should get a more decent life.
why are people so effing insensitive. some more, i will consider saying the F word really. maybe id like to scream at them from the 25th floor. damn them.
hello world!
i am alive and kicking. yeah! its been a week and a half since i left the land of the free, and ive been feeling like its been forever. time has been slow and ive been gaining weight. ugh! or thats how i feel it to be. my clothes dont say it but my whole body feels like it. i feel like im in this state of calm that i dont really want and need. the only calm i need is passing out after shots. SHOTS!!!
ok. calm down. thats the deprived fish talking.
things have been too calm that ive been to the salon twice in one week, have had 4 massages the past 10 days, and i will be having my dermatology appointment this week. what have i been doing? geez! the past 10 days also included cooking breakfast at 430 am, sleeping at 10pm, and taking a shower for an hour complete with body scrubs, exfoliators, and hair treatments. for the next 48hours, i cannot wash my hair (major ugh!) because my hair has all these harmful chemicals to make it straight and black. u should see my hair, its too nice i cant believe it.
im jobless at this point. bummer. and i have to pay 3K for a cellphone bill that ive accumulated for 10days? wtf? Php1,768 is for Value Added Tax. Php 800 ++ for being stupid and going overboard with my internet bill. i need to hold off tweeting then. efffff!!!
i missed two Ravens games though the last crucial one was a bummer. i will be missing the Orioles fan fest. i will not see Brad Bergesen who might be written in my stars. who knows, right?
my weekends have been bummers. my parents are on my tail too much. bummmmmmmerrrrr. this is getting tiring.
the only positive note is that my brother is as tall as me and we've been poking each other on the side tickling each other. he's the reason i am here.... i think.
smiles everyone, and when u raise your glass and say cheers, think of me. i wanted to drink with u, u know. =D
--- fish tank---
you got it right! iPhone is a bad-ass. just look at this one.
though that is one scary iPhone. not kid-friendly i may say.
(you were warned. if you read beyond this, dont hold it against me).
oh darn what was i thinking? this was my second failed attempt to write something heartfelt yet here i go again my angst is blown by the wind of winding words because of writing down a warning note on top of this post. *sigh!*
what i wanted to say really was this... i live for the future and not for the past. every little thing i do at present builds for my future. i dont regret decisions that ive made, and i dont hold back decisions for the future because of someone or somebody else. i work to a better future because of me and no one else.
thank you.
damn it! The Orioles have been banking on losses now. as if the whole season's losses wasn't enough, they are running out of fuel and is one day short for a complete two week streak lost. how awesome? blech! its like they took a break before the real break, especially the pitching pool (the starters and the bullpen). they are making me... sad. its really nothing new considering the performance the whole season, but to have continuous losses under the new "Trembley approach", i think abracadabra didn't do that magic. ah shux! ah suck! on to the weekend! i'll just get my keg.
other news, if you haven't known this yet, then i dont want you outdated, but i am an official GLEEK. what is a 'gleek'? its a term some person coined for crazy fans (ahem, like me) of this new Fox show called "Glee". i got into it last week, wherein i spent 4 hours (or less) watching the first four episodes in Hulu that made me sleep at 430am (so calculate what time i actually started). its about a school teacher who's an alum of this public school, who was also a former member of a glee club. But when the school was about to axe the glee club, he took over it and tried his best to win the approval of his colleagues and the popularity of the group with the student body. His mission, besides getting more members, is to win the regionals. aaah! its a breath of fresh air against the common 'mature' shows, reality shows, and Gossip Girl. now while waiting for my other shows, i have something to look forward to (on Wednesday nights at 9pm. check your local listings too, and Hulu).
in a more serious tone, if you're a Filipino or know Filipinos, then you have heard of the great flood that surrounded Metro Manila, Philippines over the weekend. it was really bad as i cannot believe what had just happened to the whole area. it was surrounded with water in every street and highway, and people struggled to save their lives and some of what they have. it was awful. it was an awful sight that i felt bad for everyone. that is why in any possible way, i have been helping out some people who have used social networking site Facebook, and site Twitter in disseminating information about relief operations and any help that can be extended. a lot of people need help right now. food, clothing, basic needs, money, clean potable water. all these are still needed by a lot of families displaced by this tragic misfortune. so if you need information on how you can extend your help, here's a very helpful site: http://superbianca.blogspot.com (thanks to Bianca Gonzalez for compiling them). If there are other questions, or if you're looking for other sites to check out about this, you may ask me thru email or twitter: margeemateo. Here's a link also that you can access that has an overview of what happened some 5 days ago, http://www.techpinas.com/2009/09/typhoon-ondoy-video-footages-and-news.html
alright! i guess im not indebted in this blog now. until the next time i have the urge to write this much. =)
this weekend, the world saw two meltdowns that will forever sting two peoples lives.
(1) Serena Williams
(2) Kanye West
im not going to comment more about these two "happenings" but ive been having a fun time reading comments about these two, especially the angry comments against Kanye. these are two trending topics you can look up on Twitter, so read up and know what i mean. =)
i was trying this flickr to twitter photo posting for dinosaur phones. unlike having the iphone app Twitterfon (that lets u post directly to Twitterpic with a tap of the button), flickr to twitter has steps where u have to send this text message to this number, then follow this step so u can set it up like this. its such a caveman approach really. driving me nuts earlier. so yeah, i tried with a pic in my phone but it ended up here on my blog! well that works too though. i mean if i cannot tweet my sports escapades this weekend, then i guess i have to blog it directly! sounds fun? extra!
Good news: Andy Murray is getting higher on the tennis rankings. He can be number two any time soon.
Bad news: he is getting Roger Federer's ranking.
*** as i was typing the title to this post, my buzzer just went off.***
i like beating the buzzer, but then there is this buzzer i hate being ahead of coz it means that i'll be tired later on the day. its called the alarm clock. my phone has a better alarm sound now where the sound is booming but subtle to the ears, not one that you'd like to crush for giving you a heart attack. i can even set it that the radio will wake me up to some cool sounds, but after several attempts to listen to cool sounds, all i get was the static radio waves that makes you think of any scary movie that the ghost will show up at any time.
so today i did set my alarm so i can wake up pretty early to finish up some studying. its usually better for me to study like this, well rested, much determined to get things done. but then i woke up at 4:37am wanting to go back to sleep! i was ahead of this damn thing again by an hour and a half! sheesh! it shouldve been nice because you can get things done, but if you sleep at around 12 midnight, then things get a little different. u realize that u have to sit on 1.5 hour lectures for three subjects and you feel like praying that you will not fall asleep in class.
now, im blogging. the bad thing about in between studying. the up side to this? hey! this sounds okay than my previous posts. oh well!
PS: My Boys on TBS will start today at 1030pm. Why do they show this late?
the bad thing for me about sleeping early is that i wake up 30 divided by 6 times the whole night, that is besides the fact that i set up my alarm to wake me up every thirty minutes since 4am. on this fateful day, before my history test, doing 30 minute increments on my alarm did not work its best. usually i get up on the second alarm. this time, i woke up at 7 still. it felt like i had a long night, and my busy brain should be blamed for it. between maybe freaking out about the history test and what not, the busy brain just had a lot of things going on.
my first dream was something i cannot remember fully except for one thing: a rabbit. according to my dream, i was lying on my left side and had the comforter over my head. then i peaked out and saw a rabbit. scared of the rabbit that looked heavy, i put the edge of the comforter back to my head. then just as what i was scared of, i felt a heavy weight on my right arm to which at this point, i woke up. first thing i did was check if there was really a rabbit on top of the comforter. of course there was none, and it was only... 1223am, 1hr and 23mins since i slept (or around that time).
my second dream came as a series. my freaky dreams usually come in a series. setting was like that lifted from my history book, but that part where my history professor has not discussed yet, with characters from real life. there was too much chaos in that dream, many bodies cut into half (ugh!), and all of us crying while going down the stairs and seeing more and more of this. it was morbid, really bad. it was a long dream but i cannot tell in much detail what the dream was about. its like watching a war movie, basically, only you get to feel the story so much.
i didnt even watch anything besides Mamma Mia yesterday.
(i think i had a post before that had the same title, but, whatever!)
i dropped my iPod Touch today on the floor. its carpeted, but something went wrong. my headphones was plugged to the slot, and when it dropped, it hit where the jack meets the wire connector.
boom!
the jack was left on the slot, and the wire connector was hanging like a rope. pfft!
i hate it when people try to make you feel liable and forgetful every single time. i hate it that people try to be mean to you in a nice way, but you know they are being mean to you. i hate it when they try to let you feel that you are stupid and irresponsible when you've not been that way.
i may forget to do something once for a patient, but i know i have learned my lesson and will not do it again a second time. besides, where is your appointment card if you knew you have an appointment today? you are taking chances at my own risk and that sucks. that is so annoying. this is the second time that i hated a parent so much. you may see me with a smile when i see them, but i knew i said my piece earlier, and that is that.
i admit to any wrong when i know i am wrong, but dont push it honey, coz you dont know what youre gonna get.
so there have been two bloggers from my other blog site who talked about this Colorgenics test and how freaky it was that it was quite revealing of your character. so then i tried it, out of curiosity.
the test starts of with showing you eight cubes of different colors. then it asks you to pick a color that u are most attracted to or that reflects u most. the first one i chose was blue, my favorite color. then it asks you to pick out the other seven colors as well but in a digressive fashion. so i clicked until i ended up with black. then it was the assessment. wait... wait... wait...and this is what it has to say about me.
when they said it was freaky, all i thought about was, "how did you know that?" but as much as i want to deny it to myself, i guess it was like looking at your reflection on the water and realizing that no matter how clear the water is, you will still see the dirt beneath it. indeed, things that i have tried to push aside have slapped me on my face again. wake up!
so 'tis the time when i say goodbye to my dreaded and biasedly hated semester, the time when i have to make a resolution for this coming year, and a time when i get to sit down and re-think what i have done this year.... or something like that.
but right now... i must make my gift list. (wait... i forgot that i still have three pages to go with that crazy paper. concentrate!!!)
multiply is a free site where u can post blogs, reviews, recipes, advertise, upload music, pictures, and videos, and it also serves as a social networking site. but since they had an upgrade available, the damn thing has been a turtle. the upgrade doesnt make sense, so why do i need to spend a couple of bucks for it? but damn their commercialism if they keep this to snail pace because im not buying to their shit. ive been paying the damn nets too much and i dont want to add this to my expenses. i hope its just the upgrade shit glitch and will pass after they effing fix it.
i do hope they effin fix it now.
