UBUNTU installed and loving

I have been working hard on fixing my sisters laptop and i finally decided on  using Ubuntu as the new OS... and i have impressed myself, i was able to actually fix it... i have to tell you that Ubuntu 9.04 is one sweet OS, its eye catching with all the eye candy and productive. Everything about Ubuntu is free, i have yet to find an application that i have to pay for before using... although the computer is highly beautiful to say the least, i have to agree with the downside. It is one hella hard program to learn... its like learning a whole new different language - Chinese parse! its that hard to learn but then again, some people have made how-to videos in you tube and that is some ways that i have finally learn the basics... another downside that i have so say is that ubuntu will format your entire hard disk (that's what happened to me the first time). So before you do anything like installing a new OS, back up all your data first... other than that, its complete happiness for me...

its fast, graphical, productive, and stable enough to use :D.. have fun with the video...

Chapter One

The Other Friend

I was walking down the once empty stairs of cathedral but now a man sat at the very end soaked from the rain. I stood wondering why he sat there at the very end where the shelter could not reach him. His cloths were of good quality. Great shoes, tattered pants and shirt that looked designer made - it fit him perfectly. His face had certain flare of content, almost glad with his rain drenched cloths. Then i remembered the umbrella tuck away in the trunk of my car. I ran, i ran frantically. Up the stairs then to my car until i realized that i was now standing in the rain, opening the trunk to take the umbrella. I grasped it quickly and turned to the stairs. I stopped, I haulted, I was gazing at him as he stood there at the top of the stairs, looking at me. Now i was in the rain, panting, and he was staring at me. No longer is the contented expression seen in his face, rather, a look of unease now engulfed him. His eyes-brows nearing each other and his mouth slightly open. I had the umbrella on my hand, but i did not open it. I just stood there.

He stared at me as i marveled as his stance. Smart, built, calm and no longer panting. My eyes wondered, his body showed its form as his wet cloths stuck to his body like a glove. He had the figure a bit larger than of a swimmer but still well toned. Some of his abs declared their presence known. The rain drops that fell in my eyes took me off of my concentration. Then I wondered silently at my predicament. I, the man that was suppose to shelter him, am left here as rain wetted my body. I wanted to move closer until my vision swayed. It was only then that i noticed that Mac, my best friend, grasped my shoulder and jerked my shoulder gently. i glanced quickly at the umbrella that was now over my head.

"You ok?", he asked as he opened his black jacket and took a hankerchief from the inner pocket.

I stared at his face until i realized that i wasnt looking at the man earlier. I glanced back, he was gone. Looked back at Mac and stuttered to say, "...uh...yeah. im ok." He offered my his hankercheif  so i took it and wiped my face.

We started to move towards the church, not before glancing one last time at the top of the stairs - He was definitly gone.

As I entered the church, some of my friends asked questions of concern. Only then did i notice the cold rain on my shoulder. I started to shiver slightly but pushed on. The walk seemed longer than the usual, as if the end was moving further and further. Arriving at the coffin, there i gazed at his form. He always wanted to be burried fashionable, designer shirt and tattered pants with shoes designed specifically for him.

i am SINGLE, i am FREE

Been Single for almost a month now and i am loving the single life. Not in the reasons like going out for sex because god knows i dont do that. More like i love the freedom, the attention that you give yourself in order to improve. I've taken film making in UP Baguio and would be going to enroll for piano lessons in Musar. Would be traveling to a couple of beaches soon and would learn surfing, hopefully. One other good practice while im single is finding new friends. I do friend dating, which means that i go out and spend time with people and be real humans with them (with no shenanigans after). But then again, i am only human... im lucky still though, im not feeling the crave to be human. :D

Breakdawn

Random Thought

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect.
It means you've decided to see life beyond the imperfections.
So, don't say you're happy because everything is alright.
Be happy because everything sucks but you're just fine...

Military Gay Anyone?

ok... so maybe im a bit late with the update about the PMA. But for those who havent heard of it yet, heres a run down of what shocked me this morning while surfing the net...

In an episode of the morning show, Umagang Kay Ganda. Lt. Col. Romeo Brawner Jr., Army spokesman, said that they do not discriminate anyone in the army (that includes LGBT). as long as they are physically, mentally, and emotionally fit - they are a welcome addition to the military. They also expect that the number of applicants are to increase this summer due to better facilities and equipments.


hope everything gets pushed through... hmmmm... next one is...

GAY MARRIAGE ANYONE?

Hard Labor

I've been doing some hard labor last month and it struck me. i certainly dont look like the girl up there but then again.. i dont look like that guy down there....

How does a gay guy look like working? VOTE NOW! :D

Getting Older Fun

My 21st birthday

Challenge 2: Profound Happiness

Here I am Now

I ate rice today

I'm on my way back

done were the days I move astray

I've learned, doing my final act

I am a three letter word filled with joy and tire

A word used as i say my goodbye

Imminent death linked to Happiness is a situation hard to comprehend. But yet again, how can one find purpose when the end cannot be seen. Have you even wondered why when a person who stared death on the face, is then seemingly taken by another purpose for his life?  Why he seems to be taken a much more meaningful existence? Because the fear of ending stirs up his priorities and drives him to have the want to achieve happiness until his time finally comes. But what about a man able to accept death when it finally comes. Is it not profound happiness? 

Take care and hope you had a great holy week.. :D

I, on the other hand, am stuck at home with his unbearable pain in my jaw as two wisdom tooth protrude and grow at the same side and at the wrong place. Hayyy... that's why its called life.. haha... Turning 21 does create some weird hormone changes. Feels like puberty all over again HAHAHA.

Break-up Season

BREAK BEFORE RAIN

(part 1.0)
by: Von Adrian Lora Flores

I was walking down the once empty stairs of cathedral but now a boy sat at the very end soaked from the rain. I stood wondering why he sat there at the very end where the shelter could not reach him. His cloths were of good quality. Great shoes, im thinking Nike. Tattered shorts and shirt that looked designer made - it fit him perfectly. His face had certain flare of content, almost glad with his rain drenched cloths. Then i remembered the umbrella stuck away in the trunk of my car. I ran, i ran frantically. Up the stairs then to my car until i realized that i was now standing in the rain, opening the trunk to take the umbrella. I grasped it quickly and turned to the stairs. I stopped, I haulted, I was gazing at him as he stood there at the top of the stairs, looking at me. Now i was in the rain,panting, and he was staring at me. No longer is the contented expression seen in his face, rather, a look of unease now engulfed him. His eyes-brows nearing each other and his mouth slightly open. I had the umbrella on my hand, but i did not open it. I just stood there.

SURF CAMP

Its been quite a long time since i attended parties such as these... the drunken, the beer, and the people - priceless artifacts of self destruction that it actually feels like a necessity of society. A way to unwind and just relax without a care in the world. :D

Although we missed out on the fire dancing, we were able to attend the bikini open. I know, i know, im gay but then again - Yes, i can attest that they did have great bodies. (i think my straight side is peering in a bit haha)

Chistopher Walken Impersonation

   This is by far the best impersonation i found :D very funny too :D hahahah

Diving Lessons

OMFG, that was seriously funny.. i never thought I'd be wearing this in our house! haha :D


It all started with cleaning the aquarium, you have no idea how dirty it was.. 4 years without cleaning it.. damn.. lemme give you an example: sooo murky that the other side of the 20inch width aquarium cant even be seen; when pouring the water, you kinda get the feeling of mud at times. well, its a good thing i was able to clean it within a day :D

after that, thanks to our nanny, the process was speedup due to her advance cleaning of the pebbles and ornaments.. anyway.... so i was already in the process of fixing the aquarium to its original look and feel but then again, something happened to the center tube thingy that gives off air bubbles at the middle.. i dived it, and since my shirt got wet, took it off... couldn't see the underwater part so i placed snorkels. i was laughing the whole time.. i even breathed in water int he process! ahhahaha imagine, getting drowned inside an aquarium.. funny as hell :D

Its one of those things that are just far far funnier when your actually there :D haaahha

Jericho Rosales: "Di Bale Na Lang"

I always had this huge crush on Jericho "Echo" Vibar Rosales. Or simply known as Jericho Rosales. He's no ordinary handsome boy next door type of guy. He was cocky as a young actor in the film industry and right now, hes matured alot. From his film version of Pacquiao (Pacquiao doesn't look this good... com'on people!) which he landed a Best Actor award by the PASADO 07 orgnization. To the countless Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor nominations he received, he seemed to have made his attitude more appealing now by just being subtle. He truly is remarkable  fellow :D

A Yearning Heart by Lynx

Within my heart beats a sound
a sound, a voice that whispers a name.

I constantly dream just to make a moment worthwhile,
imagining I'm just a shoulder reach to look upon his smile.
however he is more than i could wish for
i must be a fool assuming i have a chance
maybe i am and maybe I'm wise to understand
that there are things i have to let go even if its just wishful thinking
yet how i dream to love him.

But my thoughts loom over him that has grown deep inside of me
i see his presence yet i cannot touch
where i dwell outside his walls
and only my eyes can reach his soul
my eyes that are filled with joy gazing his sight
at the same time tears swell at night
realizing my wish "who is him"
is just a dream that has become a star
a star i couldn't reach.

Even though i wept knowing where i can only go as far
at least i nurtured an inspiration
despite the fact it is my own cultivation
but would it be wonderful
if it was his hand that cultivated?

So i take time listening to my heart
the sound it beats, the voice, the name it lives for is an echo,
where each waves it does is a sign my heart yearns to love
and much like an echo it bounces back
and as much as i do hoping to be loved
desiring the warmth from another my heart lacks.

Z-FLO: a new wave begins

I made this for a friend of mine. Just wanted to share it with everyone.. It basically started with the challenge thing on the previews post and now im really into it :D haha... hopfully i learn more on the course of time...:D

I am Space Monkey

In recent days, i have found Baguio to be heating up so i made a quick decision to go get my head razored with a 0 measurement..

I AM NOW OFFICIALLY SPACE MONKEY...

Been wanting to get my head like this for months now but since for some unknown reason, most nursing schools have banned this type of practice. Too bad though, i actually like this type of cut.. its fresh, clean, and low maintenance. Plus, when you go for duty, you have the option of taking a bath or not haha.. just for the rush :D

And so i say "Cheers to a shaved head, Its nice to say goodbye to shampoo! haha

(so those are what the little guys are doing while talking to me :D)
