  2. i've seen the yosi and coffee threads na. hard being a newbie.

     

    i don't have the copies of asimov's pseudos.... sayang nga eh. kurt vonnegurt wala rin. sana meron din.

     

    kaya nga sana we guys could meet.. para i could read some other books na rin... i'm down to reading the encyclopedia na eh and the dictionary since i've read everything in my library na.

     

    better invest on books again.

     

    ok. shrike and lord_rochester are friends. :rolleyes: ok.

    since i know what kind of books u 'll likely read i could lend you some. after sho-gun comes tai-pan.

     

    anytime you'll be near ortigas CBD (emerald) give me a day's notice. i'll bring you a book or two.

     

     

     

    HAPPY NEW YEAR to my LADY LORD ROCHESTER

     

    MALACHI, PAG-IBIG, RIKER and ALL book lovers.

  3. PAG-IBIG :

     

    there is a thread about coffee and yosi too. feel free to drop by.

    good choice of books, from classic to sci-fis, to cheesereads to best sellers. :D hmmmmmm.

     

    sadly i'm into technical books this past few years, i'm only reading an average of 2-3 fiction books per year now.

     

    almost the entire collection of asimov. but of course you do know that he has many pseudonames, do you also have copies of it ? how about the collection of kurt vonnegurt ?

     

    enjoy your stay and have fun always !

    QUOTE :

    i have several books din with me. i have my own private library na rin. who's shrike and lord rochester?

     

    shrike and lord R are ... well ... uhurrmmm ... hmmmmmm ... friends :blush:

  4. ..... puro memories and reminiscing lang ako pag dating sa usapan ng martial arts.

    lolz. me too. been out of shape and out of breath na. it's been what ... 6- 7 years since i've last done my morning kata.

     

    i trained in martial arts since HS to develop my kicking speed and force, and have perfect balance. things that any serious soccer player should have. that's the reason i trained in muay thai and tai chi. technically i haven't yet sparred in bladed weapons but had good experience in arnis, long staff and tonfa. haven't yet tried grappling or throwing in the ring.

     

    yea, i know the scarcity of the 9section whip. i haven't seen one for sale in 10 years. :D

     

    it would take a miracle to put me back in fighting shape again. :D :D :D

  5. Question: is there anyone here who has actually gone to the extent of having his/her personal library insured? shrike? lord rochester?

     

    am thinking of having mine insured kasi. just not sure if it's possible here.

    MALACHIlolz. no. the only books that have worth in my collection are the autograped first-run books by local writers. most of my books are in paperbacks coz since HS i loan them to my friends and half-expecting it to return to my fold.

     

    PCRPOGI

    DA Vinci code, yea it became a nice read during the late 90s. interesting but cannot withstand thorough scrutiny and applied logic.

  6. thanks for the info. if i ever get back to the noble and ever loyal i'll be sure to look it up. does pasukuan have a website?

     

     

    the last time i fought in muay thai i got warned, then point deducted for throwing spinning back fists. which is annoying as it's a great technique. my fight prior to that spinning back fists were legal. different associations, different rules. very frustrating at times. when i fought in full contact karate, sabaki rules, there were no punches to the head. kicks and kness to the head were okay, but no punching. also, no grappling allowed, but throwing permitted. front grabs to the gi not allowed, but side grabs were. it gets a bit confusing when your fighting and trying to remember what the prohibitions are. anyway, it doesn't matter now as my club's been banned from competing for a year.

     

    add to that confusion, what is a legal stance and what is not. it is really hard to compete for points when you are a student of two different M.A. styles. sometimes instinctive behavior catches you and you do what is not allowed to do.

     

    better to spar with friends than lose your harmony with the professionals.

     

    last year i saw the samsung t** kwon do champs elims in glorietta, and well of cors not a pretty sight. the girls division are more agressive than the mens. pogi points for form but lacks the proper strength and speed. :D

     

    and about the latest trend i think the submission style is gaining the upper hand. almost all players has submission in their arsenal of moves.

     

    funny to watch my friend do kendo cum fencing style. entertaining really.

    anybody knows where i can find good materials for the '2 swords technique'.

     

     

    POKNAT :

    any ideas where i could buy a decent 9 section whip ?

  7. HEY YOU !!!

     

    do you know how hard it is to start a day without you ?

    no messages, no text, no calls not even a single HI.

    do you know how many times during the day i think of you ?

     

    i miss you. damn. i really missed you.

     

    and for that i will now forget you !

     

    <_<

  8. i hate to sound insensitive... pero i do this to protect myself eh...

     

    if i have no use for you then i have no choice but to get rid of you... we are friends because you have a purpose for me and hopefully i have a purpose for you.. when that purpose is gone... it's time to move on...

     

    no regrets...no pain... just plain anger.

     

    there are only two places in this world here and there. you are currently here and you wanted to get there because there is better than here. your there will eventually be here and when your there is here you will have a new there that is better than your old there which is now your here. and you are back where you started you are here hoping to get there.
