Halloween. All Hollow's Eve. One of my favorite days of the year, next to Christmas of course.
It's sad coz my village suck and that we don't have trick or treating here. Yeah, coz I live in fucking pre-historic, now-my-computer-won't-get-me-online and that's what's worse village. And let's not forget our selfish neighbours who only think of their own signals. Bloody dunces. My computer just disconnected and now when I try to get online it says wrong password and access denied, even if I typed the right shit. Ah, bloody!
This lunch time, I've been making my audio cd gifts for Sharae and O'Neal. I don't know what's wrong with my Media player this time but Sharae's only burned 13 songs, make that 12 because The Horizon Has Been Defeated only turned out to play for the first 30-something second of the song. O'Neal's... the last song wasn't able to finish. Now I have to redo Sharae's. Why does technology ALWAYS GOES AGAINST ME JUST WHEN I DON'T EXPECT IT NOT TO!
I forgot to blog about this but yesterday, while I decided to hang the glow in the dak skulls on the gate, the electric plug on the front lawn flared up as I was stooping down to get an umbrella coz it's raining so hard. I was kinda shocked since the socket flared up and had this loud BUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTT sound so I ran back inside and told Allens to shut off the main switch. Thank God nothing bad happened to our internal electric circuit though. Anyhoo, Nestor and Mum fixed it and then they left me to go to Hi Top and did a little grocery. I finished The Constant Gardener while eating Lay's sourcream and tuna. We went to church that night and then after that, met up with Ate Norji to get The Legend of Zorro and Serenity.

Anyhoo, the following lines from Ovid's Ars Amatoria are taken from: http://www.gmu.edu/departments/fld/CLASSICS/ovid.artis1.html
P. OVIDI NASONIS LIBER PRIMVS ARTIS AMATORIAE
Siquis in hoc artem populo non novit amandi,
Hoc legat et lecto carmine doctus amet.
Arte citae veloque rates remoque moventur,
Arte leves currus: arte regendus amor.
Curribus Automedon lentisque erat aptus habenis, 5
Tiphys in Haemonia puppe magister erat:
Me Venus artificem tenero praefecit Amori;
Tiphys et Automedon dicar Amoris ego.
Ille quidem ferus est et qui mihi saepe repugnet:
Sed puer est, aetas mollis et apta regi. 10
Phillyrides puerum cithara perfecit Achillem,
Atque animos placida contudit arte feros.
Qui totiens socios, totiens exterruit hostes,
Creditur annosum pertimuisse senem.
Quas Hector sensurus erat, poscente magistro 15
Verberibus iussas praebuit ille manus.
Aeacidae Chiron, ego sum praeceptor Amoris:
Saevus uterque puer, natus uterque dea.
Sed tamen et tauri cervix oneratur aratro,
Frenaque magnanimi dente teruntur equi; 20
Et mihi cedet Amor, quamvis mea vulneret arcu
Pectora, iactatas excutiatque faces.
Quo me fixit Amor, quo me violentius ussit,
Hoc melior facti vulneris ultor ero:
Non ego, Phoebe, datas a te mihi mentiar artes, 25

Obsessions for today: Betty Crocker baking products, Sebastian Rulli, Cruzando La Calle - Proyekto Uno
Cuando te veo asi por la ma?ana
una mielita que me deja sin palabras
chica hermosa te debo una rosa
eres tan bella que la estrella estan celosas
What would it take to make you notice me?
que pena que yo te deseo cuando no me haces caso
What would it take to make you go with me?
no se por que te quiero tanto necesito un milagro
cada ma?ana cruzando la calle
solo puedo observar mi amor desconocido (amor desconocido)
cada ma?ana cruzando la calle
esperando el dia que me cambiara la vida
Cuando te veo asi, es increible
no se tu nombre, tu edad, donde vives
que harias si te abrazo y te doy un beso
jaa ni lo pienses porque no me atrevo
What would it take to make you notice me?
que pena que yo te deseo cuando no me haces caso
What would it take to make you go with me?
no se por que te quiero tanto necesito un milagro
cada ma?ana cruzando la calle
solo puedo observar mi amor desconocido (amor desconocido)
cada ma?ana cruzando la calle
esperando el dia que me cambiara la vida
Te adoro, aunque no te conozco
Te extra?o, mujer tu si me vuelves loco
Te necesito, confia en mi palabra
Me desmayo, solo con tu mirada
Escucha mi ritmo, siente mi alma
mi corazoncito no tiene nada pero
estoy tratando de llenarlo contigo
quiero ser tu amigo mami vente conmigo
what would...
cada ma?ana...
