incessant rambling

there's nothing grammatically wrong with that statement. for the past couple of months I have literally gotten on a plane approximately 4 times. the mactan international and ninoy aquino terminal 3 airports are literally my second home as i find myself waiting for hours to get on a plane. on a really bad day, delays can cause me to spend a minimum of three hours in an airport. it's usually the manila-cebu leg that gets delayed and it's not as fun considering that there's free wifi in mactan international. in any case, i snapped a picture of myself (18th April 2009) on one of those horizontal escalators. ideal for sleepy-tired peeps like me who tried to squeeze every conceivable meeting and activity while on a business trip. am i complaining? far from it.

i have long hair. very long hair. at one point, friends ask me how i sleep with long hair. simple, i close my eyes. seriously, i tie it loosely in a bun so i don't look like the reincarnated sadako in "the ring". so before getting up from bed i decided to take a pic of myself. notice the white hair starting to grow in my beard. as for the title of this entry, i want to ask anyone out there why "muta" (that crusty thing that form at the corner of one's eyes after a night's sleep) is called Morning Glory. There's nothing glorious about it. ugh.

i've always liked the japanese yakuza tattooed look. i like the "look" part but dread the tattoo part as it involves needles. so what's the next best thing? get some photoshop tools and do overlays of tattoo patterns that can be found all over the web. voila, insant tattoo. why japanese? many many moons ago i was assigned to do some work in tokyo japan and for some reason, the locals mentioned that i looked like a famous japanese actor of ainu descent. i hope they weren't referring to the kabuki actors, i don't look good in make up or drag. ugh. they can't believe i don't have some japanese blood running through my veins and i usually tell them i am half japanese, half spitz. growl.
