Of thirding your eyesight.

I think it is quite appropriate to make-kwento this subject for now. After the demise of everybody’s favorite MGB Halloween episode, we all just have to take the specials of Korina’s, Sharon’s, and Mel & Joey’s. In fairness, Mel & Joey’s have some astig Halloween episodes.

One of which was when Elizabeth Oropesa was their guest. I remember it exactly when she wasn’t able to cope up with some bad aura inside the studio (as skeptics would say, eh nagdadrama lang yan. Ta-artits yan e.) She was complaining that her spirit or aura is bringing her down.

And it probably is true.

As people with third eye don’t really just have to see the spirit, feeling the emotions of the spirit is still considered as third eye-ish.

But before that, let’s go back to the part when we were born in this world. As all young-lings have a third eye until the ripe age of two (that’s what I remember). Some kids retain the eye when they grow up and eventually it closes. Ergo, we all have the third eye. It is actually up to us if we open it, we retain it in its open state, or we want it closed.

Isn’t it nice when you’re cousin or pamangkin suddenly says to every one “Uy, si Lolo o!” When the corpse of your dead grandfather is just on the other room. Spooky? Yes, but it is reality (wala kang choice.)

One thing about people with third eye is that they know if another person has a third eye too. No, there’s no certain special feature that you can see. You’ll just know that he/she has one, if you have one. Just like the idea of ‘Lukso ng Dugo’. It’s all in the feeling…

But what if the feeling is gone by Ellamaesaison… nah…

Now, the depiction of the third eye in the movies is quite OA actually. From what I gathered, and usually, a spirit usually would just appear for a couple of seconds. It usually doesn’t stay there. The funny thing is when you happen to see that spirit; everything will stay inside your mind. It is as if there’s a footprint inside your mind (but it’s not a foot, it is a spirit… so spiritprint. If you can say that three times as fast, I’m gonna give you half a dozen sticks of sundot-kulangot.)

My mom’s third eye is really wide (kasinlaki nung sa Cyclops). I always ask her things like “Ma, anong kulay ng aura ko?” (because they can easily see your aura color despite the fact that my momma has glaucoma. Uy… rhyme…)

That’s why it is really fun if she’s with you if ever you enter an old house…

In addition to her wonderful third eye when she’s awake. The third eye works during sleepy time. She usually has these dreams about things like talking with our dead relatives especially her parents (or my grandparents). So, what’s special about that? If that particular dream is important to our kin (or angkan in tahgalog), she’ll have this certain episode wherein she’ll shout or cry or wail waking my father at the same time.

Of course, if you don’t know us, you’d probably have some hysteria too. You might say that my mom is having a nightmare (probably), but she’s fine. Trust me.

I don’t need to scare you people. The supernatural world is not scary. You just have to blame the media for that one. I’d rather be scared with today’s economy or even things like riding a taxicab.

Happy Halloween y’all.

Move over Chris Brown and Rihanna.

Move over Gary Valenciano.

I swear this concert is waaaayyy betterer than the E-heads concert back in August/September.

Click the link to find out the crap that I’m talking about:

http://www.ticketnet.com.ph/2006/detail.php?eid=921&res=Y

And since the last time I did a concert viewing, I listened to the albums of the Eraserheads all over again and again for a week so that I won’t be left out in case they sing the famous and not-so-famous songs. Well, I just had to listen to catch up with missed tones and forgotten lyrics.

Now, in case I’m going to watch this concert, I’d probably do it in a different manner. I believe I still have a few weeks to gather all the movies that play their songs. Given the era of the band’s hits, I think I have to check out the early 90’s movies, probably movies by Rita Avila, Rosanna Roces, and such.

And I have to take out the movies with the song Careless Whisper, since that song is actually gasgas already.

--=+=--

I just remembered this one yesterday. Are you familiar with the Kite Runner? It is a movie about young slashers in Afghanistan…

Seriously, the movie is a sort-of-an-autobiopic of the author of the Kite Runner. It happened before and the fall of Afghanistan. (I swear Afghanistan looked cool in the eighties. Damn you twisted individuals.)

So, our protagonist wants to be a writer and his father doesn’t want him to. His father was kind of amused with the idea that he told his son, “Anong churva ba naman yan iho? You want to be a storyteller?”

It just made me say one thing. In case this happened today and the same situation arises, I’d probably say, “Rowling itay, rowling.”

--=+=--

I’m listening right now to the Fruitcake album and moi thinks that the E-heads first coined the term Mother Packers. Remember SBC packers by Rex Navarrete?

(wala lang…)

Everything is still blank. They say ignorance is bliss. Not in my case.

Of mac noodle da doodle.

Isa si Alfred Hitchcock sa paborito kong direktor ngayon. Dati kasi hindi ako masyadong pamilyar sa kanya. Hindi naman kasi nagpapalabas ng mga palabas ni Hitchcock noon sa Million Dollar Movies, kaya hindi talaga ako pamilyar sa kanya sa mga usapang sine. Pero alam ko may palabas sa telebisyon yang si Hitchcock noon, series baga. Alfred Hitchcock Presents yata ang titulo ng palabas na yun sa telebisyon. Tapos mala-tipong Charlie Chaplin yung background music.

At matatakutin ako noon kaya hindi ako nanonood ng mga ganung palabas.

Kamakailan lang, natagpuan ko si Hitchcock muli bilang isang direktor ng mga kagila-gilalas na pelikula. Ang isa sa pinakapaborito kong ginawa nya ay yung Strangers On A Train, nakornihan kasi ako sa North By Northwest. Ang astig pa nung Strangers kasi orig na dibidi yung kopya ko. Wala akong makitang pirata e.

Hindi ito konektado sa Strangers, pero ang isang istilo ni Hitchcock sa mga palabas nya ay yung paggamit ng temang Macguffin. Ang Macguffin ay hindi mabibili sa Mcdonalds kasi hindi naman Mcguffin ang pangalan nun, Macguffin po. Ha ha ha.

Kung napanood nyo yung Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull (tama ba?), ginamitan ito ng Macguffin. Yung tipong akala mo yun ang tinatahak ng pelikula na direksyon pero hindi pala. Ang ending pala ay malayo sa nasimulang plot ng pelikula. At tulad sa Indiana, alien pala ang ending.

Tutal, nasa usapang Macguffin tayo, meron lang akong nais ipamahagi sa inyo. Maaaring nakwento ko na ito noon sa mga kakilala ko pero gusto ko lang isadula ito muli dahil hango ito sa tunay na mga pangyayari. Basta, parang ganun.

Nagsisimula ang storya natin sa pagkamatay ng isang batikang babaeng artista. Magaling sya dahil marami na syang naging pelikula at palabas sa telebisyon. Matagal din ang mukha nya sa telebisyon, e kaparehas mo ba naman yung Hari ng Pampatawa e syempre damay ka na. Astig diba.

Ang pagkamatay nya ay marahas. Hindi ko na ilalahad dito yun. Siguro naman napanood mo yung nangyaring to, mga ilang taon na ang nakalipas.

Ang gulo na kasi ng nangyari, kesyo yung asawa daw nya ang pumatay. Tapos ang anak nya hindi na din malaman kung sino ang pumatay. Kumbaga, wala nang patutunguhan talaga to tulad ng libo-libo nating mamamayan na hindi na na-sosolb ang kanilang pagkamatay.

E ano na ngayon ang koneksyon nung Macguffin sa usapan? Kasi ganito yan. Etong artista na ito may asawa, si R. Shood. Si R. Shood ay Macguffin (maaaring idepensa mo sa kin na decoy sya. Oo, pero gusto ko lang gamitin yung plot ng Macguffin kaya wag ka nang umangal, storya ko to) kasi simple lang naman. Hindi sya ang pumatay dun sa asawa nyang artista. Baket? Kung ikaw ba ay nakikinabang sa isang tao papatayin mo ba ito? Hindi naman diba? Ni hindi nga sya kasama sa last will and testament, bale ano pa ang punto mo na ipapatay yung asawa mo? Kung tinatakot mo man, hindi aabot sa ganitong karahasan yan.

Ganito, bago ko ituloy ang kwento kaunting background muna. Etong bida nating namatay, may maliit na grupo yan. Yung isa sikat na artista din. Kilala nyo yun, si Ina Cyan (itanong nyo yan dun sa mahilig sa mag-tap dance). Tapos yung isa pa nilang kabarkada, kamag-anak naming.

Ngayon, maagang namatay itong si Ina Cyan. Ibig sabihin, nauna syang mamatay. Ang hilig nitong dalawa, yung namatay at si Ina na namatay na din, ay ang pagsusugal. E itong si Ina, nilalapitan yan ng mga hustler na magsugal. Dyan lumalapit yung mga natatalo sa sugal at dun nila pinasasanla yung mga gamit na hawak nila tulad ng sasakyan, para lang manalo sa araw na yun.

Si Ina Cyan ngayon, maraming hawak na mga bagay bagay na hindi nya sinasauli hangga’t hindi sya nababayaran. E namatay sya. Ngayon, itong bida nating namatay, kinuha nya yung mga gamit na yun. Yung mga taong nagpasanla ng mga gamit, kinukuha na nila ngayon dito sa ating bida dahil ang punto nila hindi naman daw nila sa kanya pinasanla yun. Maaaring ayaw pumayag nitong ating bida kaya pinaslang nya.

Ang aming balita, ang nagpapatay daw ay isang sundalong mataas ang ranko. May bituin daw sa damit e.

Grabe no. Kaya ako hanggang beto-beto at tong-its lang e. Mahirap na.

--=+=--

Bitin na talaga ang istorya. Wala nang nangyari e.

At sumalangit nawa sana ang mga namaalam na.

Of an upcoming office Xmas partey.

Woot. As early as today, our HR is starting the planning for the upcoming Christmas party. Last year was really a blast. Despite moi ending up with one red ball, it didn’t really matter much because you go to the event not just for the prizes but also to enjoy it (it has always been my belief, turo ng nanay ko, that whenever you attend an event, be sure you’re going to enjoy it. Or else, don’t attend. It is really ugly if your sugly, sulking ugly, person).

We did the 80’s last year. I recycled some items at home to create that 80’s look. And now, it might be a wittle bit hard. Our HR emailed some possible tentative themes:

- Under The Sea

- Movie Star Look-alikes (Red Carpet / Hollywood)

- Mardi Gras / Masquerade

- Filipino Myths

If ever no new themes would be suggested then I should think and plan in advance on what I should wear on the given themes above. Let me see; let’s start with the Movie Star Look-alikes.

The closest I can think of is to dress as a student in Hogwarts. Given the Hollywood idea, that’s all I could think of. Or I could dress up as Zac Efron or Edward Cullen. Bwahahaha.

Actually I really want to go as that weird character in Pan’s Labyrinth. The part with the “don’t eat any effing food on the table, you dyslexic you”. If you don’t know this, watch the movie. Berri good pilm.

For the Filipino myth, it would be really really hard. We only have a few of these myths and I’m not sure if people will buy this one. It might end up like a Hallomas or a Christoween, and I can’t really accept that. I won’t vote for this one. But given the chance that our dimension ends up with this choice, and then I might dress up as Robina’s twin sister / brother. Yes, the snake in Robinson’s Galleria.

Exploring Under The Sea is quite easy, you just have to watch a few water related movies such as The Little Mermaid, The Little Mermaid 2, Dyesebel Edna Luna version, Dyesebel Alma Moreno version, Dyesebel Alice Dixson version, Dyesebel Charlene Gonzales version, Isabel Granada’s version of a Sirena, or Nemo from the movie LXG… Kidding… from Finding Nemo of course.

I think I just have to wear those Nemo bags. Punch a big hole at the middle and wear it. Presto. I have a costume.

Lastly, the Mardi gras are probably the most easiest (hehehe) theme. I think I just have to wear six multi-colored beaded long necklaces and that’s it. I originally thought of wearing just one but it might me look naked so I made the number increase to six.

--=+=--

I have a few suggestions too but I don’t think it will be chosen. It isn’t much though but I’ll try:

- Twilight (I’d still enter as Edward. Bwahahaha)

- Sexbomb (Eat Bulaga’s sexbomb dancers a)

- Donuts (you can get ideas from Gonuts, Krispy, etc. etc.)

- Pixar characters (I’ll probably dress up as ‘mater from Cars)

- Mathematical symbols (I’d be a decimal point or ang lalaking may period)

- Naruto (this is just a tribute to my boyplen beejay)

- Local showbiz tv host, deads or alive (I’d come in as Giovanni Calvo)

- Starbucks drink (Coffee Jelly)

No serious suggestions here… I’m getting sleyfee na.

Of something's funnee.

Lookie, lookie. What have we here?

I was browsing through some stuff in Ever the other day and was able to chance upon this item. It was like back to the 80’s or 90’s again. I just had to buy it. Though I’m not really interested in reading the comic but I still bought it. Out of boredom and for blogging content.

And look at the number (in Ta-gahlog, yung may bldg… ay mali… basta bilang) Imagine the number, it’s in the thousands already. This comic has come a long way. Despite the inflation (it’s 450 percent increase bebe), I think it is still suitable for kids. The content isn’t as much as before, maybe due to the fact that this type of business isn’t as lucrative a decade ago (yes, ang kawawang kartunista… umunlad na… hopefully.)

I do miss Niknok, Planet op d Eyps, and Combatron.

And I remembered a few other competitors as well. There’s Bata-batuta and Kick Fighter.

Swet.

--=+=--

Despite the magazine’s name, I still bought it. There:

It is written as a Collector’s Edition so I bought it.

In fairness to the issue, it is still, somehow, worth it. It lacked content though. And maybe due to the 67 songs with chords included in the magazine, as this magazine really is a song hit.

I just didn’t like the “album review”. Like, duh.

(hindi ako maka myx e. maka halo lang… har har har)

Of an early Christmas shoorvaness wu.

Christmas is coming. Here are some suggestions you might want to give to your enemy or something you don’t like or if you’re too lazy to buy anything in an exchange gift situation:

500-peso worth of gasgas Christmas gifts such as picture frames, candles, and handkerchief.

500-peso worth of toys you can buy in the palengke.

500-peso worth of basahan.

500-peso worth of melamine-based food if you really hate the person.

500-peso worth of chocolates and sweets if he/she has diabetes.

500-peso worth of Smart load if he/she uses Globe or Sun.

500-peso worth of fresh meat from the market, liver and some innards are preferred.

500-peso discount certificate in those unholy places that we all know but we can’t nameit for the single female officemate who is in her early twenties.

500-peso worth of Didache books for the evil person.

500-peso worth of ice.

500-peso worth of Fissan for the person who has really smelly feet.

500-peso worth of sex toys for the religious.

500-peso worth of Halloween stuff.

500-peso worth of the most baduy audio CD’s you can think of.

500-peso worth of dried fish (the ones that really smell, you can add bagoong too, the one’s bought in the market of course.)

500-peso worth of those square batteries.

500-peso worth of confetti.

500-peso worth of floppy diskettes.

500-peso worth of tawas.

500-peso worth of pampalaglag ng bata courtesy of Quiapo.

So, basically the list can be really long if you’re creative. I’m sure you’d probably give an explosive to your enemy… or not.

Nah. It’s only October…

--=+=--

Some personal blah-blahs… blech.

Ack. People are really resigning in the office. Some of them didn’t even want to wait for December.

There’s one big dilemma for us actually here in the office. A big client might pull out and where would this place us come the end of the year. If you’re the employee, you’ll surely want security and assurance and it seems the company doesn’t even provide any good information for all of us (and also the fact that the company is cheapee cheap cheap.)

So, why aren’t you leaving… yet? Well, I won’t divulge any future goals in here. Let’s look at the part on why I am still here.

There are two factors actually. The convenience of the place, it’s in Ortigas only and I’m living in Cainta and the second one is I can go to work whenever I want to, theoretically (as I can’t really do this every day. But going to work at two in the afternoon having a regular shift then it’s cool with me.)

As much as I want to work in Makati, I’m still thinking about it. I was able to survive college and probably it’ll work in Makati or the Fort even.

It would be really sweet if I worked back in Libis though.

And it all boils down to one thing… moolah. We can always say that we work because we want to enhance or improve our career. But we know we want money too. Who doesn’t?

Nah.

Of my mythological creature.

The Greeks have a high sense of imagination. Imagine the mythology that they shared to all of our civilization and generation. And this subject is really outstanding if you’ll think about it (I should compare this with the bible but I’m not in the mood to do that. So there, I’m Catholic. Dang, I sound like a Westener already. All right, forget what I wrote. Well, forget the words enclosed in parentheses.)

Actually, I love the mythological creatures only. They really fascinate me. I’m not really scared with these creatures since they came in friendly in some of the computer games. Unlike the creature in the big urn (halimaw sa banga), the Undin, or the Janice’s baby (tiyanak) which I really had some scare time when I was young. Uhm… not the undin, it wasn’t really scary, Ai Ai is.

Wiki-ing the Chimaera, it says there that they are the offspring of the Typhon (is it bgyo my dear? No) and Echidna (I’m really assuming this is not part of the family of rodents) and siblings of the Cerberus (remember Php Fluffy) and the Lernaean Hydra (it’s the Lochness monster with many necks and heads). Come to think of it, these siblings conquer the atmosphere; it will be hard to do a triple tag on them since they are in the air, the land, and the sea.

So, here’s my question, how do they copulate? It seems that these siblings are basically a freak of nature. Probably the parents are scientists in nature and they were able to create these creatures. They could’ve copulated lotsa giraffes and a duck-billed platypus (having the hydra), multi-copulation for three black Labradors (having the Cerberus), and a freaky-copulation of a lion, a snake, a goat, and a dragon (for the Chimaera). So, Greek myth creature porn anyone?

Now, the Minotaur has no parents, it was made for King Minos of Crete. They are part man and part bull. This one is really SSU (sakit sa ulo). Think about it. How were Minotaurs really made? It is probably Typhon who went to see a red bull and they went kinky…

In case the Chimaera ends up with a Minotaur, what would they’re children look like? IMPOV (In my point of view), I see it as the four-legged creatures as the female and the Minotaur. It is actually clear on how they’ll copulate and I won’t give any description in here.

I swear, if I had the abilities to draw or even animate things like these, I’ll surely add it in this post.

Actually, I’m just sad that the Minotaur has no parents. At least if it ends up with the Chimaera then probably, just probably, it’ll be part of a family. It is really incestuous if the Typhon storyline with the mistress is true. It’s like they are living like a royalty ala old school European King and Queens.

(sana yung Cerberus and yung si Minotaur na lang ang nagkatuluyan.)

I was originally going to post two weeks worth of “scary stuff”. Blame work on this one and laziness.

I never knew that Sarah Silverman would be booed off stage.

Is it karma? If you’ve seen her skits and shows, you’d probably agree. Her act is not clean.

Woot. U.S. Elections… Don’t care.

Of an A-z of Undas movies.

Here are some suggestions to the upcoming undas as we are all fond of scary movies during the all “S” holidays. I just want to be clear though, for me, a scary movie doesn’t really mean that it should contain your usual ghoul, ghosts, and trying hard actors and actresses. It means that it can be scary in a sense of what ifs, phobias, and the usual what’s wrong with my imaginary mind and chieneses.

So, here’s my A-Z movie suggestion list. Again, I found no matches for the letters Q, X, and Y. And a few of the movies in the list are pilit since I really have no choice due to the limited number of movies falling under that alphabet or letter. (All movies mentioned have been watched by moi.)

And expect funny movies too. Funny and scary, just like the formula of almost all our scary movies. And another one, all consists of foreign movies.

A Nightmare on Elm Street: Freddie Krueger anyone? The first installment in a series is awesome. And the 80’s are cool too.

Black Sheep: A sort of black comedy (pardon the pun) wherein evil sheep attack people. I tell you, this is uber-ly sheepy fun fun fun.

Cube: A sort of sci-fi thriller, a group of people are trapped in a big cube, think Rubik’s cube in life. Now, think of the movie Saw where each room is a surprise.

Delicatessen: This one is slightly weird and foreign. Think of the time when we humans run out of food. What will we do?

The Evil Dead: Relive Ash’s of Army Of Darkness in this uber-old school movie by Sam Raimi. Raimi who? It’s Raimi who created Spidey.

1408: Who can’t resist a Stephen King movie? Don’t forget to look for the different endings for this movie. I prefer the theatrical version though.

Grindhouse: It’s Quentin Tarantino and Roberto Rodriguez in a two-movie in one movie… err a double-feature 70’s style film.

Hostel: Because we need to include your usual heavy gore slasher flick once in a while. And the protagonists are stupid.

I Know What You Did Last Summer: I’ve added this one because of Jennifer Love Hewitt… and that’s it.

Jeepers Creepers: Jeepers Creepers 2 sucked and you have to watch the first one. It is not sucky.

Kiss The Girls: An action thriller. No scary plot here. It’s Morgan Freeman. Yehey. I really don’t know if we can classify this one under scary.

Lady In The Water: It’s an M. Night and I like this film. Some may say that this suck. A geek like me won’t turn away from fantasy.

Machine Girl: Japanese rules! I’ve posted an entry solely for the Machine Girl and I just love the badness of the film. It’s my cult classic film.

North By Northwest: Check this out. This is an Alfred Hitchcock film that has been copied numerous times by today’s movies.

The Orphanage: It is a Guillermo Del Toro (or De Toro?) freaky film. This one gave me shivers.

Poltergeist: Again, 80’s rule! Don’t you just love the freaky little girl? I do! I wub here so much I’m gonna marry her… uhm… nevermind.

Running Man: Think about this one. The future where killing is a game and the scariest part is we have Arnold S. as the main actor.

Secret Window: A wonderful Johnny Depp film. The story is kind of mabagal and I think this is another Stephen King film you’ll enjoy.

Teeth: This movie-that-looks-an-indie film is really scary in nature. Imagine if a guy dates a girl with… the magical teeth. Sweet.

Urban Legend: I wub this one because Pacey is in this movie. This version of Urban Legend is subtler than the second one. So, it’s actually up to you what you want to watch.

The Village: Y.M.C.A. anyone? (oh yeah, joke) A wonderful M. Night film. I know you’ve seen it. Watch it again.

The Wicker Man: Weird is nice. This movie is nice. If you want a “bolder” version of the film, choose the 70’s version.

Zoo: An Asian film. A traditional Asian scary movie film, you might want to use this as filler in case you run out of movies to watch.

--=+=--

Wiki and imdb are always there to serve you in case you want to look for synopses or reviews for the films mentioned above. I got lazy writing summaries for the movies and I had to write positive things. It is not so me.

Of continued drama.

Another one of those high school entries…

Intro song: High School Life by Sharon Cuneta.

Nah.

I was trying to do some mixing with decades and told myself that it might be nice if some things today can possibly be used in the 90’s. I thought of, what if we have those plurk or twitter things in the 90’s? My day would probably go like this.

5:30AM: “Inaantok pa ko.”

7:00AM: “May assignment si Allen sa History, maka-kopya na!”

7:01AM: “Nagugutom ako. May extra six pesos ako ditto. Sakto! Cheese burger na walang hamburger!”

7:20AM: “Kabisado ko na ang Bayang Magiliw no. Paulit-ulit na lang.”

8:15AM: “Mag RX na ko. Masaya yung Chico and Delamar na yun a. Goodbye DWKC.”

9:25AM: “Ano ba namang klaseng assignment to. Wala namang librong ganito sa library.”

9:26AM: “Sino ba yang Karl Marx na yan? Sana may mapupuntahan na lugar kung saan ready na ang mga research na yan. Kahit summarized man lang sana.”

11:00AM: “Woo. Autocad. Sana lunch na!”

11:55AM: “Ang mahal ng sisig! Forty pesos! Pero sige, yan na!”

1:30PM: “Ang ganda talaga ng Wordstar. Hindi masyadong nakakapagod. Hindi tulad ng typewriter.”

1:35PM: “Ano nga ulit yung control C?”

2:45PM: “Intrams? E puro porma lang yung basketball team namin e.”

4:00PM: “Thursday pala ngayon. Uwi na ko. Gusto kong mag Q-zar.”

6:00PM: “Nasa bahay na ko. Walang mapanood na magandang palabas.”

6:01PM: “Ok yung sinasabi ni Marco na MTV.”

9:00PM: “Nakakatawa talaga ang Palibhasa Lalaki.”

9:30PM: “Matulog na daw ako. May Mr. Bean pa sa channel 4 e.”

Dang, I’m still not in the mood to write about anything.

And the timeline above doesn’t really coincide with each other as each post is not really accurate and dependent with each other.

--=+=--

I’m wasting bandwidth due to my promise to myself. I promised I’m going to post some crap every day for 365 days (or 366).

There’s still tomorrow. Something might come up.

Note: Something came up early today! Wee. What about it? Is it the usual crap? Oh yeah.

Of a series of drama posts...

How much threshold of pain can a person contain? (tama ba? Contain? Hahaha. Pag nilagay mo ba yan sa isang lalagyanan, container na yun?)

I’m not entering the usual emo episode but I just feel so numb right now. It feels that everything else is so blah right now. I’m trying to tell myself that something must be really happening. I’m trying to look for that small thing that will make me giddy-giddy.

I know this is kinda mababaw actually. I mean, with all the Earth’s problems right now I should be thinking about something else like how I can help the earth today or how can I contribute some positive crap.

I try to read the newspaper everyday and look at the pages. It feels blank. I know the Wall Paper errr Wall Street incident is important. I know that the upcoming U.S. elections are important. I know the melamine scare is important. But that’s it. It is really blank.

(I swear ngayon lang to. Maybe some brisk walk will probably remove the kadramahan.)

But I’m really not depressed… really. It feels blank.

--=+=--

On a lighter note, and I’m sure I shouldn’t have missed this one, I just found out that there’s a Pinoy Marvel superhero group.

Yup, the group’s name is the Triumph team (it is Triumph right? It feels like they’re selling women’s underwear or something.)

We looked crazy in those panels. It was in a bad stereotype actually. The closest thing for being a Filipino is one of the superheroes’ names. It was Antun. And it was actually sucky at the same time. Antun doesn’t really sound so superhero-ish at all.

Check them out at the Invincible Iron Man number 2 and I think number 4 too.

And I don’t really want to be spoiler-y here but the epilogue for that part is really crazy.

--=+=--

Oh, and on an uber-lightness note, Step Brothers is hilarious. Reilly and Ferrell are still using their formula, the one wherein they converse about some funny crap.

Other notable movies I’ve seen this month are Dogma, The Orphanage, Dark City, D.A.R.Y.L., Tales of Terror from Tokyo and All Over Japan, Thx 1138, Scarface, Masters of the Universe, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Teen Wolf, Private School, and Nightmares and Dreamscapes.

Yeah, the 80’s rock.

--=+=--

Just. Maybe. Everyone’s. So. Busy.

Of bad happiness.

I know this post will be my karma. I think I’ll be able to accept that because somebody has to say it.

Or actually nobody’s really interested with this type of subject. In short, wala lang.

I’m not really the type of person who’ll enjoy the misery of others. I switch channels whenever America’s Home or America’s Funniest or whatever home video TV shows televises people whom accidentally (or un-accidentally) hurt himself or herself. I just find it in bad taste.

Imagine the countless videos of flying objects hitting the crotch of a man. If I want to see this kind of scene, I’ll just switch it to Jackass anytime. At least, these guys do it for money.

But sometimes, I just can’t stop watching some foreign shows (or even local ones) that showcases the true Shudanprudan (it’s Schadenfreude, you freud errr prude. It is German and it means enjoyment taken from the misfortune of someone else. Or if you’ve seen Avenue Q, you’d probably bypassed this paragraph already… too late).

A friend one said that those shows are sinful. But I just can’t stop watching their misery. Or misery produced by the show to the person. For example, TMZ, this group of people is really selling their souls to the devil. Try watching an episode and you’ll see. They just don’t make fun of people. They love putting them into bad situations and insult them behind their backs (meaning, the ignorant celebrity doesn’t even know that he’s being featured in their website, etc.)

And that is their job. And they have the “right” because they are the paparazzi (paparazzi my a**).

But I love watching the show and I’m sorry. And I have a new addition to my viewing list. There’s this show The Dish with this lady who, for me, is I’m not actually sure if she’s trying hard to make some punch lines but sometimes she gets the job done.

Going local, I’m really happy with channel 2’s decision to suspend that Cristy Fermin. I just can’t stand it whenever she looks at the camera and tells every one that she’s righteous and such. Wtf (as in watdapak talaga).

And she deserves it.

It’s like I’m so affected with these things. I mean these things are more important that the almost-collapsed Wall Street, the still pricey gas prices and our society in general.

And what’s up with Alfie Lorenzo? If Juday is his only alaga then he’s in big trouble. Juday might look for a new manager.

Of none only.

Just months ago, and I couldn’t believe the news actually, some foreign news compared John Travolta and Zac Efron. I believe this was due to that Hairspray movie. Even John said that he sees himself with Zac when he was at that age.

Wrong.

In all honesty, movies nowadays have become tame and lame. Let’s try to compare Grease and HSM.

Oh no! Not another HSM entry. (hindi ka pa ba nagsasawa???? Hinde.) This is due to the fact that HSM3 is just weeks away. Yey! More Zac-mmy (it’s a mix of Zac and yummy) goodness. We’ll have more uhhh by Vanessa or Ashley. Or we’ll have the wonderful presence of that young metrosexual guy. It’s Lucas Gabriel… Gabrielle? Gabrielle Lucas? Boo.

Let’s start first with how movies had transitioned during those two decades (Grease is in the 80’s, right?). Let’s say that Grease was made in the 80’s (as I’m not a martial law baby so I can’t answer this one… really) and in actuality movies in the 70’s have this sexual revolution. That’s why uber-hardcore movies were made in this era. There’s this African-american blaxploitation movie Badassss (the title is surprisingly long and I can’t seem to remember it) and the hardcore cannibal movie Cannibal Holocaust.

Enter 80’s, sexual revolution is dying down because disco is dying (enter song: Coz I was dying inside to hold you…). And connecting these crap to what I’m saying, Grease had some songs that aren’t child friendly. Like this line in the Grease Lightning song, “You know that I ain't bragging she's a real pussy wagon”. I’m absolutely sure that if you’ve seen this line in Breaking Free, you’ll surely say, “What the eff is happening with Disney, they are the dope.” Or something in that sense.

So, please no comparisons. There are a hundred more reasons why both movies and actors are not the same. The biggest thing of course is the decade the movies were shown.

Imho, Grease is a cool movie and HSM is just full of girls who picture themselves nude and share it in the Internet, full of girls who have nose jobs, and dancing guys who looks like they aren’t really guys at all.

I didn’t really like Grease much though.

I’m happy with Sound of Music na lang…

Don’t you love blog posts where you haven’t slept for thirty-five hours already and your just blabbing things left and right?

I’m just happy right now that I’m watching Dogma. Jay and Silent Bob rules!

Of wow again.

Confessions of an impulsive buyer:

*All conversations are pure-monologue-ish and inside the brain-ish as if the person is talking-ish then a problem might persist-ish*

“I’ll be going to St. Francis today. I have to buy one cup of rice. I think I would just spend a mere fifteen pesos at max for that cup of rice. No biggie. Add probably a fruit juice drink of something without cola or caffeine. I want to drink healthy for today.”

Left the office and left the office building. Crossed the street. Found Podium.

“Oh gosh. It is really hot today. Might as well pass through Podium. They have a kick-ass air-con. Besides, I believe I have to buy some blank Cd’s.”

Went to the fifth floor and dropped by CD-R King.

“I think I need a few Cd-R’s and some Lightscribes. I need to get that Citizen Kane burned in a disc. Archiving issues”.

After buying the blank cd’s, went down a floor and found Astrovision.

“Hhhhmmm… I’m almost finished with my work. I am just going to BROWSE for videos.”

Enters video store.

“Ooohh! Queen Christina. That’s Greta Garbo. I know I have to buy this because just last night I was browsing the 1001 movies you have to watch before you die and found that title there. I knew it. I have to buy it.”

Grabs Queen Christine.

“I know I’m finished with my work. Might as well browse the whole store too… Wait, I know the last time I went here I was looking for Streisand’s Funny Girl. I’ll ask the counter later when I pay this movie I’m holding… Oooohhh! Sixty peso Vcds! I want to watch The Avengers. I haven’t seen this one. Uma Thurman and a Fiennes. And Goodfellas, as far as I can remember I haven’t seen this one too. And oh my God! Thx 1138. Finally found a copy. Sweet… And I think I have to pay these. My stomach’s grumbling.’

Pays the CD’s to the counter and asks for the Funny Girl DVD. Stock is still not available. Finally leaves the Podium and did a quick buy for a cup of rice and large cup of fruit drink in St. Francis.

Yes, 330 pesos for a cup of rice.

Dang. Wow-ddict talaga.

Of some churvanesses.

I’m feeling it too…

I feel two hands lurking up my chest and my behind… err… that’s too graphic. Change topic…

What I meant was, I’m feeling the air of tiredness too. After a depressing Friday last week, an air of tirey-tirey (let’s call it this way because it is cute. If I only use tirey then it feels like I’m in America’s Next Top Model. I swear you’ll punch me if you guessed the punch line) loomed the mid-October month. I’m not sure why, I have a guess. This is due to those melamine-infested foods that we ate and now the nanomicrobes inside those melamine products were triggered and gave all our brains the tirey-tirey sense of being. (talk about geeky…)

Or not.

It’s October, we all just want our November to come. Mr. November can help most of us due to the holidays that will be given to us. Though, in a contradicting matter (and I’m sure), November is also the month, or start of the month, in buying gifts for our loved ones (and our enemies with enema) this coming Christmas.

And we’ll also experience the tirey-tirey number of people who’ll roam the malls, the streets, the red box, and the lmatian aso (sorry. Pinilit na pun. Or pun de pinilit. Like this one two. Wow, I’m on a gulong.)

I’m not in the mood to create solutions right now. All I can say is wait for Twilight the Movie and High School Musical Three the movie (and hey, have you seen the Bollywood version? Bwahahaha?) At least something will be discussed again. Today’s movies aren’t really highlight-ish so the best that you can do is to get those movies in the dibidi stores. I suggest Step Brothers and Psych the series. Promise, it is funnable or funny for you stereotypes.

Oh, I posted this because I really am exhausted physically. I just had my 48-hour weekend support last weekend (bwahahaha). I’m waiting for my VL subsidy that I don’t know how I’ll get it. I need to gain five vacation leaves this month.

Even that Harry and Paul thing didn’t surface much. People are just too tired of prostate-ing errr protesting.

And there’s no MGB Halloween Ed to watch at the end of this month. We’ll end up with Mel and Joey instead. And any shows where Cristy Fermin’s face is showing. Enough for that Halloween treat.

I’m currently listening to an all dance playlist. Songs range from the seventies to the early 2k.

And this doesn’t relate to you in any way possible. As if you really care. And as if I really care in what you’re thinking right now.

Oh yeah, I’m such a biiiatttcchhh.

Forgive me; I have PMS, Pang Menstruation Sa lalaki.

(At akala nyo kayo lang…)

Of Molly's color.

If Bayani wins the presidency he can give us this:

*Y’all, this is the Malacanang Palace, Pretty in Pink version.

* I got tired on painting the palace more pink-ish but you get the point, right?

* Check out the image on the water, it’s white and it’s magic!

I got this text message from an emo friend. Yes, it is somekinda bastos, please care bear with moi.

Text say: Dept. of Health Warning: All men are advised not to suck Chinese girls’ breasts as their milk may contain Melamine! Iwasan ang boobs ng chinita! Pls pass…

Just last night (this happened the other night, as I usually create blogs in advance sometimes) our batch-mate in the office had his last day and I relayed to him this text message.

He immediately replied, “May sakit na pala ako sa bato.” (or something in that sense. I really can’t remember the exact words).

So, to the batch’s Master Vader, you’ll be missed.

The following had left us already namely Ruselle torpe, Rio’ng palengkera, BOS Beejay, Ice ang babaeng tunay na bastos, and Miko the sharpshooter all left us already. There are five of us in our batch and who’ll be the last survivor? (Abangan…)

Dinner this week pips.
