Pounding The Keyboard

“You want a whore? Buy one. You want a queen, earn her.”      After 636 days and   23 hours, 0 minutes and four seconds (somebody’s been counting, yes), Game Of Thrones is back with its final season (*sobs*). First episode (shown yesterday) has no slam-bang action and no utterly shocking scenes (except one that involves a very young lord) but it still quite delivers. There’s a gigantic revelation (which really surprises no one since fans have been theorizing about it since the earlier seasons); there are happy reunions; Tyrion Lannister cracks a few jokes; somebody learns how to ride a dragon; a lady flirts with a man; there’s an explicit, possibly gratuitous, sex scene involving a likeable mercenary and three naked whores; and a man arrives in a very hostile territory.      Season 8 has six episodes only (*sobs again*) so after a relatively quiet first episode, the next ones will surely be explosive and definitely unforgettable.

There's a little black spot on the sun today (that's my soul up there) It's the same old thing as yesterday (that's my soul up there)...      A few days ago, I pinched my nerve again, this time at my shoulder (the consequence of trying to exercise/work out too much). Around four years ago, I pinched a nerve in my elbow (I had this bad habit of always leaning on my elbow whenever I use the computer) and it took more than a month to heal.

Yes, same symptoms you get when you’re heartbroken. Lol. Typing at your computer keyboard for a long time even worsens the symptoms.   I tried some over-the-counter painkillers and anti-inflammation meds but stopped when it did nothing (painkillers are bad for

Heto na ang pinakahihintay natin Heto na tayo magkayakap sa dilim O kay sarap ng mga nakaw na sandali Habang tayo'y magkayakap sa dilim…                    Apo Hiking Society, “Yakap Sa Dilim”      With a single mistake and stroke of irresponsibility, Jim Paredes’ legacy  as an icon of Filipino music (he was a part of APO Hiking Society) has been sideswiped. It will now always be shrouded and shadowed by a totally embarrassing video showing him pleasuring himself while allegedly chatting with someone via Internet. Allegedly because I haven’t watched the video and I have no plan of watching it, it is something you can’t unsee. But I have seen some blurred (thank goodness) screenshots. The mere mention of his name would now always be met with cruel chortles and disgust. That’s just how it is. . Apparently, the one he was talking to and showing off to clandestinely recorded it. And a lesson here has been learned: never be complacent in this era of ultra-modern tech
