sunshine on a cloudy day

fridays are not for working, they're for thinking about sunshine

the past few days have been unbearably inconsistent weather-wise. i probably didn't need to say it, but what the heck.

one day this week i rode the bus to work and i was surprised when i came upon a janitor mopping up the puddles at the buendia mrt station. but as i was walking on that dumbass pavement they called a sidewalk, i started feeling the heat -- and not from the conversation i was having with my bud from work. i went out lunchtime armed with my rain jacket and an umbrella, just in case the downpour from the previous hour gave a repeat performance... but nooooo. the whole time i was out on the streets, the sun proved its might as if mocking me and my just-pampered-newly-trimmed hair. yeah, the one time i did not need the hassle of breaking out in sweat.

my sunshine, julian.

hey nic, wasn't it you who wrote about keeping tabs on some korean telenovelas in the us? have you seen mai geol yet? yep, it's airing here right now on channel 2. and i'm so totally in love with seol gong chan (hereabouts known as julian).

to think that i was a bit amused at the idea that my friend ness bought the dvd box set (from lei's suking pirata). and even my recent fascination with princess lulu did not prepare me for this ultimate fanaticism. but the hopeless romantic in me just can't resist the charms of the stoic but caring grandson. and after the marathon session at ness' place last night (i still have 3 more discs to watch -- a total of 6 hours of torture), i could hardly think of anything else. really. i was so unproductive at work today, it's a wonder i even remembered to have a cake delivered from aristocrat (i'm telling you, their chocolate supreme is even better than polly's, though also more pricey). and it took all my willpower to wait for lunchtime to view my friendster page, to get my lee dong wook fix. for once, having lunch was not a priority.

see, who can blame me for complaining about real life? fiction may be insubstantial, but temporary happiness is better than nothing at all.

song of the week: top suzara, sabihin mo na (cheesefest! but my girl is sooo worth it!)
