Me and Sloth: Part 1

Posted in Chopsuey, writer's block with tags , , on July 27, 2008 by nazibalazzi

Let’s have 7 deadly sins series for a change…

And I’m starting with SLOTH. Actually, I should have started with Gluttony but I can’t find any other reason to expound (for you to understand why) because I am pretty sure that you won’t need the explanation.

So what’s up with me and sloth.. Well, I’ve been planning to join this writing workshop this coming September. You have to submit your 5 best literary works. Sheesh, what’s so hard about this? Well, you see five of which still exists in my subconscious. And I can’t seem to put them in good writing. O sure, I have 27 drafts in my blog. None of those will ever get published because of me and SLOTH. Or maybe because I am too scared to get the beating from the critics. Either way, things are pretty tight these days. I just need time to actually sit down and write. But every time I do, there’s plurk or there’s too much noise in the house or there’s writer’s block..or there’s booze night.

Hokay, excuses, excuses. Maybe I’ll just join next year. That is if my creative juices are still up and running by then.

SLOTH for me, is equivalent to PROCRASTINATION.

So this post ends..here because *yawns*…..

West Side Story returns..

Hokay. I don’t care what you think. But in high school I was in this play. So I’m going to watch it by hook or by crook. I’m going to drag my high school friends and blackmail them one by one if I have to. When I my dad found out, this was being shown here he told me I should see it with the rest of the JETS..Hell, yeah we should.

Yes, we’re gonna wing it. And I’m so Gloria GAYnor about it.

WordCamp Philippines 2008

Posted in click here, it's fun, writer's block with tags , on July 26, 2008 by nazibalazzi

I’ve been blogging ever since 2005. Well, at least formally. Thank God for Internet. To tell you honestly, I have multiple blogs which I kept on maintaining. Now, that’s hard.

But I can’t stop myself. I always find it myself writing. It’s like an itch that I can’t stop. I heard about WordCamp through I.ph. I also have a blog there. Pardon for the shameless self-absorption.

Instant light bulb! I should definitely go. Lame but this must be “thee” sign I was waiting for. Should I let go of my passion for writing and concentrate in my career as the corporate “chorewhore” that they are grooming me right now?

But let’s face it. If you really want something, you just can’t take it away from you. If you want to do it, you will find the means to get it. And as my supervisor once said (and I am becoming rather redundant as I always quote this whenever I can) “If it’s for you….if it’s for you”. Non – sense, I know.

Now, lest you want your blood circulation to get cut-off because I’m not really a good endorser and such, I shall give you my last attempt to explain my intention in joining.

It’s purely about widening your social circle. It’s nice to know that you’re not the only one blogging about bad hair days and your favorite TV show -LOST or the fact that riding the MRT is the biggest mistake that you continually make every single day of your existence. Its basically a great avenue to meet your fellow writers either professional or not. Free booze, perhaps? Nah.

Besides, I missed the other blogger’s eb slash gigs because a.) work sucks b.) I was born yesterday!

This is just pure genius. A good marketing strategy if I do say so myself.

Moving on to the mandatory part of this post:

Did you know who made this all possible? They’re such amazing group of geniuses. Please refer to the list below:

Ok, I suck at this. They’re the sponsors. *a round of applause please*

That’s all for now, I’ve already asked others to join via Plurk and word of mouth if that helps.

*fingers crossed*

Joyce attempts couple’s therapy

Posted in BASHroom, Chopsuey, the mishaps of black baligang with tags on July 24, 2008 by nazibalazzi

Fail.

Have you ever been caught in the middle of a red flag?

It ain’t easy. I tell you! Last Sunday, a friend and I went out and got a massage. I really felt the need to pamper myself even if I have to crawl to work the next day. So after the massage, we went to meet her BF.cThere we were happily eating our meal in Pasto unassuming that the perfectly laid back Sunday can turn into a whacked out night of yelling, screaming and unwanted attention from the by standers. Yes, it came to that point…

The war of words broke out from what seemed like a harmless conversation on “cookies”. I fail to divulge the entire story..as I might find myself strangled and strapped in a metal casket the next day.

So there I was there—a poor excuse of a bouncer trying to stop an exploding woman and an insistent masochistic man from beating each other into a bloody pulp.

Not a very good experience if I do say so myself as the war of words, exchanges of yells and screams reverberates in your eardrums.

Long story short, one had to go as far away as possible to avoid total annihilation and extinction of mankind.

I on the other hand was wondering, why the hell did I pay 400 bucks for a full body massage, when I could get all the groping, pushing, shoving action from this for free?

Seriously, what was I thinking?
