Smile, Laugh. There you go.

There are a couple of things I'd like to whine about, but since I've started to claw my way up the pit of keening and gnashing of teeth (seriously, the emo bug is going around), I'm going to write about happy stuff.

First off, I am happy to report that YuppieUniverse.com has reached 1,679 pageviews (that's for this year, basically February and March). Since that wouldn't be possible without the 372 absolute unique visitors who visited the site this year, even if you only clicked on a "patibong" link or whatever by accident, thank you. To those who actually read the stuff we have there, double thank you. XD

And to those who have graciously contributed and generously let me literally holdap content from them -

Rem: I owe you a hug, a beer and a balloon in any color you want.
Karl: Dude, seriously. I think you're a much better writer than I am.
Mai: Keep them coming, dude! Just don't beat anybody up or you'll run out of bus stops.
Chris: You're old. XD Seriously, I find your article ideas helpful for the hapless corpo newbies out there and so I hope you find the time to write them.
Annabs: Thank you for sharing your story. So far, it's the most popular Yuppie Humor post. XD

And to Rica's friends Vanz: Pics pa!; and Anamercedes: When I read your fiction, I feel very small. As in. The World Ended Last Night stabs me every time I read it.

To everybody: Aylabshu! Please let me holdap more of your great articles/stories/pictures. You have the Triumvirate of Evil's eternal gratitude, and maybe we'll spare your poor souls when the Omen decides to unleash her fiery Apocalypse on all our sorry asses.

Since I am going to get compensated for the last gig I had next week, I think this merits a celebration. I'm su(R)e the (E)mo bug can be cure(D) (B)y drowning it with alcoh(O)l, laughing with friends, and general stress deto(X)ing.


Next on my list of happy stuff it Misery Day. I'll write more about it when Lei and I get to actually celebrate the anniversary of our joint day of misery. We dubbed March 23, 2008 as such and planned to celebrate last week, but due to a series of unfortunate events, we had to reschedule. I am looking forward to Lei's coffee and the barbarians she promised.


Ayee's birthday today means I get to get free booze and shameless karaoke/live band. I am looking forward to later, if I don't expire from sleeplessness.
