My silence does not magnify my defects. Nor does it connive at them. My silence transforms my defects into strength indomitable. My silence is a climbing flame that warms my world of despair. My silence is my inner light. No problem of mine can defy solution. My silence is a selfless distributor of joy to ever-widening horizons. In my silence I become a man of sterling character, <a href="http://billweasley.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/R63nMAoKCD8AACKcXF41"></a> a prolific writer, a voracious reader, a divine lover, a profound inspirer and a triumphant liberator. In my deep silence I never become a victim to ignorance, the greatest calamity that can befall any human being. In my growing silence I am convinced that even as a man on this earth I shall be able to reach heights, transcendental, divine. My glowing silence alone can accelerate my  Godward march. My spreading silence makes me see, feel and possess satisfaction, <a href="http://billweasley.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/R63nzAoKCD8AAFG7K4Y1"><img class="alignright" src="http://images.billweasley.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/R63nzAoKCD8AAFG7K4Y1/boatlakemountain.jpg?et=wOaSRVOHx5T3oGCOpvTq2g&nmid=&nmid=81324798" border="0"></a>         unalloyed satis... http://billweasley.multiply.com/journal/item/20/Silence Sat, 9 Feb 2008 17:52:50 -0000 Cloverfield One night, you're partying with your friends. You've had too much to drink. Then a couple of hours later, you find yourself in the worst situation of your life. WHAM!!! BOOM!!! RAAAWWWRRR!!! (Raaawwwrrr??!!) The glamorous city you once knew became a humongous pile of rubble. As you come face-to-face with the source of it all, you promise yourself you won't drink too much ever again. And hope in all hope that you'll ever get to fulfill that promise to yourself.

You read that right. I watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix a few hours ago in Mall of Asia. Thanks to a very generous benefactor. <img src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/shade.png"> I saw it with Meann and Gary. Let me just state some spoilers and little thoughts: - Grawp CGI is great. - Evanna Lynch portrayed a very good Luna Lovegood character. - The thestrals are really creepy. - Evanna Lynch is soooo lovely. - The kiss is really "wet". - Sirius Black didn't die by stumbling through the veil. He was AK'd by Bellatrix then his dead body just fell through the veil. - Evanna is really cute. - There were no brains in the Department of Mysteries. - The great big showdown of Voldy and Dumbly is breathtaking. Don't you dare blink an eye. - It didn't say in the movie that it was Sibyll Trelawney who made the prophecy. - Kudos to Imelda Staunton for a great protrayal of Dolores Umbeej este Umbridge. - Dudley has grown really big. - The whole story was too fast.

Muggle work has finally taken over me.   I started at <a href="http://www.rcgit.com">RCG-IT</a> just this Monday, though I only go there a few times to procure some documents regarding my employment. I report for work everyday at one of their many clients, Smart Communications, also along Ayala Avenue. I started out familiarizing myself with the system my team is developing. Come yesterday lunch, I was assigned with a big task. Its deadline was on that night too. I am not yet fully familiar with the system, but there I went. With the help of one of my team members, I was able to finish my task and beat the deadline. I immediately sent it to my supervisor because he needed it this morning. What time was I able to finish it? 10:30 pm. I was at the office from 7:45 am to 10:30 pm. +_+ OT work in Smart's IT department is very normal. And now, as I type this, I'm headed to another OT work.
