There's A Kind Of Hush


i know it's all over when one uses a carpenters song as a title, BUT WHO CARES? it's friday night! :) the whole week has been, in three cruel syllables, merciless. me and lappie have been working nonstop (and without enough, never enough compensation i might add) in conceptualizing, designing, and coding website layouts. my eyes are beginning to twitch at the sight of CSS or HTML and my fingers are raw from typing and clicking. now i understand why the matrix people wear shades. sheesh.

and last night was the crux, the proverbial thorned crown. i spent all night CSS-ing and HTML-ing the new progay website. i've decided to publish it in blogger instead of the usual geocities since with blogger, the progay president, mr. oscar atadero, would be able to update the website himself by just posting articles. no fuss. i told him if he needed to rehaul an entire section or something then that would be the time to call on me, instead of having me go all the way to laloma, qc every week and spend the night in a different environment where i wouldn't be able to have the pleasure of working in the nude. heh.

but despite of being tired and feeling all beaten up, i feel rather... useful. productive. more than ever in my whole sordid life. sure there have been bonks on the head (and the heart) for me this week too, but somehow i can't think about it as much (even tho there's this little voice in my head telling me i should). the feeling of doing something for the community is more overwhelming. damn, this is nice to say the least.

plus, bug and i watched the stepford wives at greenbelt 1. nicole kidman always had the ability to make my heart skip several randomly distributed beats whenever she appears on the screen, and matthew broderick does not grow old. and as for the movie, it's been a long time since i've watched a dark comedy, and this one hit the spot right there. it wasn't really spectacular like that, but what counted was the feeling of gid i had after stepping out of the theater. mm... delish.

and to top it all off, my brother is in cavite for his overnight retreat and my sister is spending the night at a groupmate's house doing i couldn't care less. i have the house all to myself until tomorrow afternoon. the world is at peace. w00t.

PS: meanwhile, nickelback's playing on the background, singing, "somethin's gotta go wrong cos i'm feeling way too damn good..."

lol screw that.
