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.

Of un-bliss-ed

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.

10.22.2008

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.

10.21.2008

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.

10.20.2008

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.

10.19.2008

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.

10.16.2008

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.

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.

10.14.2008

Of old-school tv.

As an avid reader of sinful magazines… Wait, I did say reader and not browser, right? So, that absolves me of the point of buying a lad mag. Yes, I read the articles and yes, they are really helpful. They have tips and tricks and teats errr treats (what has happened to me? Sleazy all of a sudden?)

Ok. Stop with the stupid innuendo… Let’s go forward to why I’m posting this one.

As I’ve said, FHM has an article this month. It is about the Pinoy Tv Classics (subbed with) We Wish Were Still On Air. The list are (I’m not gonna do the usual listing style, I’ll do it in a form of a semi-essay type to save some space. And hey, I shouldn’t explain this one…. Blech)

Iskul Bukol :: John En Marsha :: Chicks To Chicks :: Abangan Ang Susunod Na Kabanata :: Ang Manok Ni San Pedro :: Ober Da Bakod :: Debate With Mare And Pare

Palibhasa Lalake :: Batibot :: Young Love, Sweet Love :: Eh Kasi Babae :: T.O.D.A.S. :: Goin' Bananas :: Ryan Ryan Musikahan :: Kwarta O Kahon :: That's Entertainment :: Sic O' Clock News :: See-true :: Lovingly Yours, Helen :: Katok Mga Misis :: 2+2 :: Superstar :: Student Canteen :: Pinoy Thriller :: Chibugan Na! :: Champoy :: Vilma! :: Loveli-ness :: Penthouse Live :: Seeing Stars With Jo :: Mongolian Barbecue :: Newswatch With Harry Gasser :: Two For The Road :: Cafeteria Aroma :: Not So Late Night With Edu :: Duplex

I’m in a dilemma here. I’m not sure what to write about these. Yeah, these. I mean I can say that I know 26 (or 27) of these TV shows. I can give out some useless trivia like Student Canteen filming in our school, as a vaguely remember or Lovingly Yours, Helen was replaced by her daughter when she died (look up Princess Punzalan and the title, I think, was Bubbly-ing Yours err Lovingly Yours).

I can also say that Iskul, Abangan, Ober, Palibhasa, Goin’, and T.O.D.A.S. for me are kick-ass. I can also say that people whose age is 20 years might just say that they are just familiar with a handful of shows since they can’t really remember if they’ve seen an episode of That’s Entertainment (which I am proud of not watching the show ever. Bring me Tabing Ilog and I’ll dance a tra-la-la dance with glee).

I can say that Loveli-ness, Vilma!, and Superstar are so not for me. I can also say that Ryan Ryan kicks ass and Katok just says “Screeeeaaaammiiinggg Gaaaayyy” (hopefully gay is not a derogatory term.) And yes Giovanni Calvo is with San Pedro right now as Lito Pimentel isn’t. Who can ever forget Batibot that beats Sesame Street, Pin-pin, ATBP, Star Smile Factory, Pen Pen De Sarapen, Eh Kasi Bata, and Uncle Bob’s Lucky 7 Club.

I’m not entirely familiar with See-true, Eh Kasi, 2+2, Penthouse Live, Seeing Stars, Newswatch, Two for, Cafeteria, Not so late, and Duplex. John En Marsha is sooo traditional Filipino. Chicks to Chicks look like it was the local version of Three’s company (we all know Vic and Rosanna and the girl came up with this show at channel 7 too) with all the sexual innuendo (uy.. double innuendo). Debate is simply just kick-ass, a first in national television actually. It is like a valid and social palengke fight (sometimes).

Kwarta is simply dull and good at the same time. I just can’t get over the Roleta ng Yakult. Pinoy Thriller is filled with my “Oh Hinddeee” (this is the right show, right? It’s like Ben David’s voice and y’all. And yeah, Ora Engkantada too. It’s like they are combo. Sweet.) Chibugan Na is just it. Hahaha. I like Kalatog Pinggan better (nandun kasi si Mahal, churi churi).

I’m missing Rene Requestas in Sic O Clock. I miss Kuhol in Mongolian. And sing with me for this one last TV show… “Champoy… Champoy… Galing sa ilong ang champoy.”

--=+=--

You know what; there are hundred of shows that we can add here. They’ve forgotten a lot I tell you but we may say that these are the first or the best for the genre that they focus on.

Back in the article, Palibhasa started the new style of sitcom. As all sitcoms are using it right now. And maybe that’s the main reason why I’m not watching any sitcoms nowadays. Pare-pareho lang. Maybe if these tv giants can give us sitcoms with real acting, maybe I can come back to local tv. Remember Buddy and Sol and Home Along Da Riles, every week they have a plot. They have a script to follow. No adlibs (I’m unsure of this one). I mean no ad lib in a sense that the director or whoever gives them a topic and then poof… kayo na bahala. Bwahaha.

There were a handful of channels before. And these shows weren’t that much but I can say they are of quality, that’s why they were able to go through the test of time.

And that’s why any given time, you can give me reruns of the adventures of ariel and maverick (and also the problematic show… errr.. you know the title, I can’t remember) or Strangebrew. They were independent. They were, in a way, in quality. (and are they adlibs too? Now, I’m getting contradicting)

--=+=--

Jologs na jologs na ba ko? Hehehe. Nanay ko kasi hindi daw ako jologs masyado. Porke’t hindi ko nasagot yung carrier single ni Manny Pacquaio hindi na ko jologs. Hmpf.

And omg talaga, I can write more than fifty shows siguro that are on the top of my head na hindi na existing ngayon na hindi kasama sa list.

And channel 5 looks promising again with new local shows and the exodus of PBA.

And why is it that Tv Patrol wasn’t in the list? Is it because that De Castro’s voice is really nakakaantok when he’s delivering the news?

And how about Tatak Pilipino, it was cool. Do you know Gel Relos-santos?

And how about Ready Get Set Go, do you know Panjee Gonzales?

And how about Tropang Trumpo. They rocks I tell you. They were a hit during the nineties. Giving Earl Ignacio the name and even Maoi Roca who has no right to act but they gave him the break anyway (just like Bj Manalo in an afternoon variety show. *shudders*)

And do you remember Jao Mapa’s show in channel 5, Music Bureau?

And why is it that Aguila, Valiente, and Anna Luna not in the list? I can still remember Joan Miller (yung kapatid ni Macy) in Anna Luna. She digs me, I tell you.

And did you know that the E-heads was banned in channel 2 because they didn’t follow the order of Mr. M (or some higher up) as they want to play the song without using their instruments.

And I’m going to stop na. (Isang Tanong, Isang Sagot :: Cristyperminute :: Showbiz Linggo :: Tarajing Potpot :: Kaya Ni Mister, Kaya Ni Misis :: Tondominium :: Mana-mana :: Love Notes :: G-mik : Super Klenk :: Ang Tv :: Pahina… seryoso I’m stopping.)

Bistek!

Of styleness.

I was eating the other day at Chowking in St. Francis and I noticed something. It is as if they had a crash course in training and all of a sudden they were uberly polite. Backtracking the minute I entered the facility, I heard:

Guard: Magandang gabi po sir.

Employee 1: Magandang gabi po sir.

Employee 2: Magandang gabi po sir.

Manager: Magandang gabi po sir.

Wow, there’s an echo inside a small area in St. Francis. It was amusing at first but once you sit there and eat, you’d rather tell yourself, ‘Nag-take out na lang sana ako.’

So, what if this happens? A pope, a dead king, a president, a cardinal, a princess, a monsignor, and a retired basketball player enter the Chowking fastfood resto and they all went there at the same time (let’s say they all came from an imaginary meeting or conference that includes the dead and the living. Much like the Hogwarts universe, wherein the Bloody Baron can rub elbows with Argus Filch and he-who-must-not-be-named Voldiemortie (oh wait… I included his name in here. Cringe. Voldemort, Cringe).

- Manager: Good evening His Holiness Pope Benedict the XVI, His Majesty King Henry VIII, His Excellency President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, His Eminence Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales, His Highness Princess Margriet, Most Reverend Monsignor Soc Villegas, and His Airness Michael Jordan.

- Employee 1: Good evening His Holiness Pope Benedict the XVI, His Majesty King Henry the VIII, His Excellency President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, His Eminence Cardinal Prodencio Rosales, His Eye-ness Princess Margaret, Most Reverend Signor Soc Billegas, and His Airness Michael Jordan.

- Employee 2: Good evening His Oily-ness Pope Benedict the sikstin, His Majesty King Larry the VIII, His Excellency President G Em Ey… and His Airness Michael Jordan.

- Guard: (Whispers to himself, ‘ano daw? Dapat ako din, baka matanggal ako sa trabaho.) Good evening… uhm… ano… His Hairness Michael Jordan.

--=+=--

It was all gusto with politeness and it wasn’t really irk-y. It was just really weird when they do that. I’m used to the usual buy and ignore scheme (or the not so uberly polite approach). It was more than Starbucks-y in there.

And I do hope I didn’t write anything that might offend any religious sector or any one in particular.

And no curse words in this post that is absolutely good and the effort in finding the right people for the right styles. Yeah, they call these titles styles too. I do hope Wiki is right with these though.

And I already forgot the right spelling for Voldie’s name. It’s Voldemort, right?

Ofh Eh Pee

Here’s something that came across my mind. It’s not really big, really. It is just some stupidity passing through.

We may all say that the Harry Potter series are somehow complete in terms of realities’ discrimination and your usual stereotypes. There was no racial discrimination really since we have the Asian, the African American, and your usual friendly ghost. And there’s no biggie stereotypes too given Albus’ revelation. So we’re all cool here.

Maybe and just maybe she missed one thing, the Dursley’s.

Let’s start with the husband and wife. Why is it that they’re ugly (somehow)? Does it really lead that if a person is ugly it all ends up with a person having an ugly heart? Me don’t think so.

We can say that HP’s parents are beautiful physically and emotionally. So, why is it that way? If ever they trade places with the Dursley’s will there be a change in our views? I just find it unfair that fugly people have the stereotype that they are uber-bad.

Yes, I know you’ll say that there are no two Pettigrew’s in one group. But why? Isn’t it nice if there are two fugly people with two different directions in what they believe in? A fugly good and a fugly bad (hhhmmm… I have to submit these to the Dungeons and Dragons people; we can add these to your usual neutral good and neutrally sexy, like moi.)

I demand a makeover to the Dursley couple. They deserve to be appealing to the eyes despite their unremarkable bad trait (I’m just basing this on the approach of the first books wherein you’ll really hate the couple.)

How about Dudley? Dudley’s appearance is a mere fallacy. Maybe those horizontally-challenged and fugly kids in America are such a-holes but way back here in the Philippines, it usually is not the case. I’ve had a dozen friends who’re horizontally-challenged and nice the same time. More over them are good looking too.

Is it because that Dudley should have that approach of being a horizontally-challenged bully?

I know you’ll just probably say that Gilderoy is beautiful too. (Gilderoy is metrosexual by the way.)

And I have no answer for that one. I’m just talking about the Dursley’s right now.

--=+=--

I do hope they have their own journal too. I mean the Dursleys.

Vernon’s will always say, “And I said no magic in the house!”

Petunia’s will always say, “Me have a big secret.”

Dudley’s will always say, “Harry is hot!”

--=+=--

Lame… sorry. Inhuman only.

(tama na yan! Inhuman na!)

10.11.2008

Or ey, are you games na?

Who doesn’t want to win a million pesos? Even winning a measly hundred bucks, for sure, will make us giddy the whole day.

Every one knows that gambling is a long shot. If you’re incredibly lucky, then good for you, you can use your luck with it and we’ll forever tell you that “Swerte ka nga sa sugal pero…”

So, let us stick with our strengths meaning let us join game shows instead. And so it can be tell errr told? Telled?

Yeah.

I can probably say I’m a sophomore for the today’s topic and all I can share are tips on how you’ll be, at least, more than par with your co-contestants (at the co-como, eh?) in case you decide to go bold (not daring) and tell the whole world that, “I can do it” (Rob Schneider says: YOU CAN DO IT!).

There are a lot of game shows today and the closest thing to Jeopardy nowadays is PGKNB (or Proctor and Gamble in Katipunan beside the National Bookstore in katipunan also, of course). I’m absolutely sure you wouldn’t say that Wowowee’s questions have the same caliber as PGKNB that would be insulting in a sense. Let us just say that the Sarimanok channel caters to all walks of life.

Me believe it is Procter; it is just read as proctor. I really don’t care actually.

So, it starts with a text message. You text your “raffle coupon” to the game show and wait. No, wait, don’t wait. Don’t get your hopes up. It is much better if you text and forget. It is better if you get surprised. (Here’s a tip: Always text during the first week of the month preferably Mondays.) I guess lady luck is still expected since there are thousands of people who want to join a game show.

Now, a possible text or call will be received and the person in-charge will tell you when you’ll have the initial “exam”. Always remember that they will not adjust with your schedule (ano ka artista? Maarte poide pa). Also, be sure that once you start joining these shows, you are practically (or in a sense) free. The “exam” is pretty easy (naks. Yabang). You just are practically aware of the current events and that’s it. And even though if you went there and took the exam and s**t, it is still possible for you to be removed from the select audience especially if you got a score of 1 or 2 or probably 0.

So, you passed the initial churvae. The last time I went there, the “interview” part was done in the afternoon. The interview is simple, you must have a boom voice and get your balls equipped (or for the ladies out there, inject testosterone. If ever a moustache or a bird este beard grows, shave. But… but… but… you can’t shave the bird, it’s gory-eous. I’m stopping…)

They will also give you instructions on what you should bring on the taping day/s. Tip: Bring bright colored shirts and dresses. Why? Simple, you’ll surely stand out when you watch yourself in TV. And probably tell yourself, “Why the hell am I wearing that stupid shirt?” You just made your first nationwide stupidity, in case. Congratulations.

The organizer or coordinator will inform every one that whoever’s lucky enough to join the actual taping then good for you. If it is not, then it is not your time. Please try again (parang panliligaw lang yan… =)

Then, you wait. The last time I encountered this, it took me less than a week. I think. Basta. It took days only. Again, don’t expect. Your life doesn’t evolve around the game show. Buy your favorite street food and watch your favorite Sexbomb tv show season.

So, somebody texted you, “Congratulations! You have just one 1,000,000 peso. Claim your winning maney at Makikibaka Street, Mandaluyong City! Bring two balid ID’s”.

Obviously, that’s not it. It is usually a call telling you to come to the taping at around 1 in the afternoon. So, what do you need to bring; book, sungka, or an otograp book.

Here’s the great part. The taping usually starts at 4 in the afternoon. So, waiting is a major factor here. It’s waiting under pressure. Just like you’ve waited for your first born, your professional license result, or paying for that needed bottle of water in a twelve item or less grocery cashier with a line as long as the number of people who watched F4’s concert when they went here the first time.

The taping begins. You weren’t called for the 4 pm batch. You watch the whole episode in the sidelines. You, then wait for the next taping that is probably at 7 pm. Then it starts. Then, you weren’t called… again. You wait. Third taping at around 9:30 in the evening. And you still sat there. Waiting. (As one day is equal to three taping day. So, if ever you see a person there who is there for “15” days already then probably he has been there for a minimum of 5 days already) So, what’s the catch? Be ready to sacrifice your leaves and absences in exchange for the thrill and experience of a game show.

Now, you are a lucky person. You were called. Get ready to be ridiculed or bitched or what-not. Be ready for all the green and super green jokes. Just be ready for anything.

And relax. Don’t forget to relax. Always remember that you joined the game because you want to win. So, focus is a key here; listen to the instructions very well (as most Filipinos doesn’t listen or read instructions so much.)

So, that’s it. I won’t give details since the show has been reformatted, again, already. Go on. Try it. Give it a shot. You might be the next millionaire. Good luck to you. And don’t forget my balato.

--=+=--

So, what’s balato in Engrish?

--=+=--

I’m sorry if this is long (this is actually on the third MS word page.) Anyhoo, there’s something bad about winning those prizes at those game shows. If you won something from ten thou and up, you have to pay twenty percent of the item or twenty percent will be deducted from your total winnings.

Now, if you’re a poor person and you win a million, you’ll probably get 800K. But that’s not all. You have to give two official identification cards to the person in charge (here’s a tip, how about replaying the time when this person wins the prize. Do you still need an ID?)

And the saddest part? You wait for a month.

Sweet.

10.09.2008

Of my time, once upon?

Fairy tale stories are completely outdated nowadays. I mean, you can just use these stories to a five-year old and then give the kid a dosage of Harry Potter that contains real life entertainment once he/she grows up.

Let’s take Sleeping Beauty for instance, we all know the story. An evil witch gatecrashes her “baptism” and then the evil witch gave her a curse. The baby unknowingly gathers this good childhood and then gets prick-y with a pin and then sleeps for years to come. A handsome prince kisses her; the old witch (that should’ve been dead due to old age) is killed by this same prince. And cliché-ing, ‘and they lived happily and ever after’ (or until one of them gets cancer and probably the cancer patient would just end up in a hospital since they can’t pay the bills due to the fact that the stupid fairy godmothers can only give her gifts such as ‘beauty’ or ‘kindness’ or some positive idea that you can’t use when you write your description in you resume.

So here’s the catch. Wouldn’t it be nice if the fairy godmothers just killed the evil witch or fairy? (ganun din naman kasi) The “handsome” prince will eventually kill the witch so why prolong her agony? It is really unfair for the evil witch actually since she had no choice regarding her impending doom. Just because someone is evil, it doesn’t necessarily mean that a person is really evil. Look at Dr. Evil, he’s a bit weevil een err in the end.

How about Cinderella? The story goes about a girl who has no family and who is living with her step-family (I was wrong when I said that she has no family, I mean, you know, family? Like gangstas and clans. Oh, you get my point.) She then meets the usual fairy godmother. She grants her wish to go to the ball. Cinderella forgets a glass slipper because she needs to take a dump at home (kasi namamahay daw si Cindy e.) And then the “handsome” prince whom Cinderella met keeps the slipper (this version of prince has fetish issues) and finds Cindy err Cinderella and then looks for her. Then he finds her. Blah blah blah. Blah.

Here’s the thing that I don’t get with this one. We have a fairy godmother that is capable of magic and such. So, why is it that the godmother didn’t change Cinderella’s physical appearance? The answer is simple, Cinderella is beautiful already. She doesn’t need any physical changes. She just needs self-confidence. The FG (or fairy-god) could’ve just called the female version of the Queer Eye and gave her the right stuff.

I also don’t get the part where the FG gave her a twelve o clock curfew. If the FG can change a mouse or pumpkin to another creature or thing (as this is not acceptable since this doesn’t follow the rule of alchemy) then why can’t the FG give her extra time or she should just have given her other abilities such as tailoring, leatherworking, or blacksmithing (sorry, world of Warcraft reference here). And wtf? Glass slippers? C’mon, doesn’t that abso-effing-lotuly hurt? This Cinderella girl doesn’t have any experiences with a glass slipper and yet, she can dance gracefully while she wears it.

Dash a lot of bull.

(Even Beauty and the Beast, remember that crap? The beast becomes a handsome prince in the end! That’s one hell of an advertising beybe.)

I know. I know. Most of them weren’t available or existing during the time these were told. Screw you then.

Of everything-seems-so-stupid.

Some knick-knack patty whacks.

(Give a dog a bone?)

--=+=--

Here are some things that you’ve probably known about me but still want to verify if I really have those things or if I really am the one you’ve talked to that’s why you’re still interested in reading this frap…. Err crap (or was it mop? Mop top anyone?)

1. I eat lunch during lunch hours.

2. I wear clothes in two ways. I wear house clothes when I’m home and I wear office clothes when I’m at work.

3. I watch the television. (moving pictures are perrrty.)

4. I ride a vehicle when I go to work. I pay the driver if I’m riding a public utility vehicle.

5. I studied in school.

6. I have a Multiply account. I use http://targrod.multiply.com as my HTML.

7. I have an email account.

8. My name is Jay-r. It is spelled as Dyey, Ey, Way, Das, Arr.

9. I wear glasses. I bet this is the most intriguing part of the list.

10. I am a man. I have a male reproductive organ.

(I’m so sorry. I just have to do this. Hehehe.)

--=+=--

I have been always fond of time travel in movies and in television. They have this certain feel of what really happened in the past or what happened in the future. And it is really a kick-ass thing for these novelists or authors or writers or dreamers or what-nots to think about these scenarios.

Take H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine (it is Wells, right? Well… well well well). A friend told me that the real story is really different with the one that starred Samantha Mumba (yup, the one that showed that interesting non-breathing horse in its multiple-ey cut body preserved in mirrors. The scene with Orlando Jones, oh God, you haven’t seen that film? Then, I really don’t need to explain much here. There’s a thing called Google. And it doesn’t rhyme much with Poodle. Bagel anyone?)

So, here’s a suggestion if ever you’re interested in going back to the past (wow, parang back to the future), bring porn. It doesn’t really have to be that hardcore porn. Just enough to fill the eyes of those guys living in the past. Of course, you have to take into account the year you’re stopping over. If it’s in the 70’s then you really need super hardcore stuff. I guess the best thing to do this is to go back during the time of the Spaniards.

Now, be sure that when you meet these Pinoys in the Spanish era, you should bring magazines. It is important. Why? If you bring some handheld device that provides visual stimulation then you’re just going to create problems in some near “future”. There’s no bunny playing with drums during those times.

I am still having problems on what to bring in the future though.

(this is just so stupid and sleazy.)

Of emo's fave topics.

I and a friend went malling one day and we heard beautiful music. As I was browsing through all those toys in Toys ‘R’ Us, I informed her that the music playing can be used for the fourth book of Meyer’s series, Breaking Dawn.

The song is Breaking Free. (Oh yeah, I’m sure you could’ve seen this one coming light years away. I know, I know it is absolutely corny. So, I’m giving you a choice right now, as Albus always remind whoever he’s talking with, would you like to waste a minute or two of your life to read this or spend hours in work or study or something serious such as teen pregnancy or teen suicide or reen teen teen.)

This is so reminiscent of those Mad TV sketches that went flop. But it’s okay…

I am absolutely sure that Breaking Free can be incorporated with the book, Breaking Dawn. Let’s try to check the lyrics, shall we? (I’ll be posting bits and pieces of the lyrics as stanzas and choruses. And wow, choruses are a word.)

We’re soarin’, flyin’ There’s not a star in heaven That we can’t reach.

à Well, technically vampires can really soar and fly and since they don’t really need oxygen and such they can try to touch a star. But what’s the point in touching a star? (Oh men, this is getting worse by the minute. Bwahahaha.)

If we’re trying So we’re breaking free.

à So, we’re Breaking Dawn. Yeah, we know.

You know the world can see us In a way that’s different than who we are Creating space between us ‘Til we’re separate hearts

à Yes, the world sees you guys. You are characters in a book. And yes, all of us see Bella and Edward (and Jacob) differently. And yes, Edward created the space when went to fight the Volturi. So, we’re still all good here. (and this worsens by the minute. Boo. This is just like one of your history books wherein you just read the title of the book and that’s it. You just listen to the teacher the whole sem after.)

But your faith it gives me strength Strength to believe

à Oh yes. Hell yes.

Can you feel it building Like a wave the ocean just can’t control?

à Look at the simile here. Syet pare lalim.

Connected by a feeling Ohh, in our very souls.

à Waaaaiitttt a minute. Omit these lines. Fallacy my lord. Vampires have no souls!

Rising ‘til it lifts us up So every one can see

à Now… a new plot emerges. Bella has a soul. Guess her favorite music genre (Soul. Bwahahaha! Damn, a bad bad blog post.)

--=+=--

I’m stopping; this is waaay getting real stupid na. I’m sorry to my emo friend, I know she loves HSM and Twilight at the same time.

And yeah, I’m really bored.

Of nostra de nostril.

I’ve always loved the idea of the supernatural or something that is magnificent that can’t be explained by the common logic.

I think they call this one mysticism in the olden days. I’m not sure on what they called this nowadays. Ergo, I love Mystika too. I wanna see her split again.

Turning in to prophecies, I bought this coffee book table about prophecies and I have some high regards with the best person that we can rely on this, Nostradamus. I’m not some hardcore fanatic though but I really am fascinated with those kick-ass prophecies that he did especially on the royal family, the two devils (IMO) Napoleon and Hitler, world wars, and even the 9/11 incident.

I have a question though, are people of brown and black in color aren’t really a factor for the whole world in terms of prophecies? I mean I haven’t heard anything that pertains to Jose Rizal, Indie Arie (wait, that’s not the actual name. Sino nga yung yung character sa The King of Scotland?), or even Mahatma Gandhi. (Ang daya diba, unless na mayroon ding brown superior prophecist at black superior prophecist para naman patas sa lahat ng colors ng mga tao. And you can call me racist or such; I’m just saying what I’m seeing).

Maybe there’s a quatrain that pertains to our colors. There are more than seven hundred quatrains and probably one might be related to you, to Hero Angeles, or even to Jimbo (na eks ni love.)

As I’ve said, I bought this book and I came upon this guy (or saint), Saint Malachy (hahaha. Inulit ko lang yung word na saint. Saint. Saint. Saint. Saint). He is officially the predictor of popes as he was like Nostradamus in terms of the prophecies but he gives phrases in no more than four words.

Sample: Pope John Paul I was called ‘Of The Half Moon’. It means that a half-moon was over the world when he died 33 days later. Or Pope John Paul II was called ‘From The Eclipse Of The Sun’ (if you’re going to argue about the four words, this is actually derived from Latin. Sorry, I didn’t write it down. Tao lang). It means that he has the ability to eclipse the work of the previous popes (and he is not entirely related to the Cullen family). Or my favorite Pope Jay-r I was called ‘Of The Humble and Meek’. This one is actually sacrilegious and I shouldn’t have written it. (but hey, they have a rule of becoming a pope. Anyone can be a pope. Yes, even Sam Milby.)

So, Saint Malachy gave the next “clue”, ‘The Glory Of The Olive’ and going to Wiki, here’s the explanation for Pope Benedict XVI. (I’m not sure though if the current pope is familiar with Saint Malachy. So, if he is not. Then, we can continue) The logic is simply the use of the name Benedict and the name Benedict is connected to the Olivetans, they are a small sub-order of the Benedictines. And so, that’s it.

Saint Malachy’s prophecy ends with the pope after the current. Pessimists say that the Catholic Church will probably go bye-bye after that pope. For me, hopefully, could strengthen the church again whenever this time comes.

Oh, and that late 90’s end of the world prophecy is probably wrong; in a sense that the third anti-christ might be born in that decade.

--=+=--

This should’ve been posted two to three weeks from now. Yeah, it’s kinda serious. Just writing stop from the top of my head (actually this idea is available a month ago).

Here’s my take on the prophecies:

- Charice Pempengco will rise even further.

- Some Filipino will win the U.S. lottery.

- A Lolit Solis type of scandal will happen.

- Sports officials will resign due to some bad leadership.

- A second Hip-rap album.

Nah.

In fairness, I was able to make chamba with:

- Snape as the half-blood prince

- And Albus is gay (I know, I know, I don’t have any public evidence regarding this. Aaahhh… nevermind. =)

Of today's game.

So, I went to Toy Kingdom to look for toys that I could make fun of. I didn’t really find the best of the best or the worst of the worst but I found a few. It was quite of a ho-hum rummaging through the store.

First off, I’ve mentioned this before, those channel 2 made toys. Yeah, remember the Volta masks and the Lastikman gloves? Guess what, for every show that Channel 2 creates, they counter it with a corresponding game board. I’m not joking. There’s the Palos, Volta, and whatnot game boards. The best part is they’ve come up with a The Singing Bee game board (san ka pa). So probably, just probably, they’ll create more and more game boards in the future. Are we expecting Pinoy Big Brother and Maalaala Mo Kaya game boards? Yes.

It is as if children still play with game boards… c’mon.

How about the mind-boggling slash challenging 2 by 2 Rubik’s cube? Give me an effing break. Are you really sure that people will really buy that crap? So, what if you tried it you weren’t able to get the answer to the cube, will you still buy it? I’d rather buy those 4 by 4 cubes or those metallic puzzles.

Remember those kick-ass puzzle rings and bracelets sold on the side street? If you don’t know this, then you’re not hologs enough.

And there’s the wonderful and freaky air pets, why the hell would I buy some crap that looks like a dog and its floating. I really don’t get the idea for this one. I mean, they also sell cats, giraffes, hippopotamuses, and duck-billed platypuses. So, if I buy them, where should I put it, in my garage or in my garden? I really do believe that this 150 peso crap is the freakiest toy around.

Why would we want to buy inflated dogs? I mean, what’s the point in that? Isn’t the point of obtaining domestic dogs is to teach the young laziness err I mean responsibility and probably death. (Look Hon, you’re pet dog is dead. Pray for him. Ok? And we’ll have azucena later. I know you’ll like that.)

(It’s like you’re being one with your loved one.) à Eh? I think what I meant here is that if your loved pet died and you wanted to replace it by something you won’t feed, pet, or sleep with, then you have to buy the crap stated above. Or something likes that. There, much clearer.

Lastly, you might call me sexist for this one but it doesn’t matter because I’m sure it’s not appropriate for the young… maybe for a collector, but not for the young.

Ever since I was little wrestling action figures have always been available. From Tatanka to Jake the Snake Roberts; so, it was quite fine to see those action figures up until now. So, these sleazy WWE folks came up with the women wrestlers and I find it somehow disturbing. If you are a parent, would you buy your daughter a female wrestling action figure? Or if you are a parent, would you buy your son a female wrestling action figure? Think about it.

Oh Em Gee too. The mammary glands of that action figure are directly proportional to the head of the action figure.

Why?

--=+=--

Boo. =)

Of da slang, te-cavits?

ASL (Age Sex Locaion) please? Would you like to add some picture? Then, do it the ASLP way (just like Sponge Cola’s KLSP, but that’s local as well as 143445254 or HHWWPSSP, but that’s baduy na or korni for some since baduy is not really used in today’s usapan.)

We have our old school such as AFK (Away From Keyboard), BRB (Be Right Back), IMO or IMHO (In My Opinion), IRC (Internet Relay Chat), LMAO (Laughing My Ass Off), OIC (Oh, I See), and the appreciative TY (Thank You).

Isn’t Internet a wonderful way to talk? I mean, it created a whole new realm of talking or conversing. Linguists will often say that the idea is preposterous, stupid, or downright insulting but we can’t turn away on what the new generation is providing us. You can’t just barge inside a chat room or a chat conference and say, “Hey, we should all type the right way in this room. Make all conversations error and grammar correct.

You’d probably get some reactions such as ROFL (Roll On the Floor Laughing) or ROFLMAO (Rolling On the Floor Laughing My Ass Off) or the hardcore ROFLMAOWPIMP (Rolling On the Floor Laughing My Ass Off While Peeing In My Pants). You can even add YS at the end of that long Internet Slang, adding You Sanabagan in the end (but that’s local).

The Internet is also a world of offensive slang such as LOL that is derived from Ulol and FAQ that is derived from Fa-Q or Fakyu. Seriously, LOL means Laughing Out Loud and FAQ means Frequently Asked Questions.

The most used real offensive slang is WTF (What The F***), FOAD (F*** Off And Die), GFY (Go F*** Yourself), GTFO (Get The F*** Out), the unreligious OMFG (Oh My F***ing God), POS (Piece Of S***), or STFU (Shut The F*** Up). Imagine this, a twelve-year-old boy who happens to be in a chat room and he sees these things? WWPD (What Would the Parent Do?) Just a suggestion dear parents, be aware of your child’s Internet whereabouts.

Whether you are a noob (a derogatory term for someone inexperienced at a game) or a lamer (a know-nothing, one who is lame), a flamer (someone who makes inflammatory, abusive, or directly offensive comments), or a leet (one who is elite) it doesn’t really matter. As long you enjoy how the slang goes then GFU (good for you).

Though, there are a few slang that I don’t understand recently, such as FTW (for the win) or TMI (too much information), I have no choice but to look it up in Wiki (where I got “all” of these). As I have to ride with today’s generation.

(Hay PI ang dami na palang slang to-its. And where’s WKSLK (wala kayo sa lolo/lola ko?)

10.03.2008

Of brutus.

Here’s something to think about. Twilight fans turn away and this is about New Moon so you better listen to Blue Moon instead. (or watch Blue Moon, I’d probably watch Dennis Trillo though)

As I’ve said a few weeks ago regarding the female lead role for Twilight… Wait, I am really too lazy to backtrack at my post so let’s keep this one hanging.

Now, this girl is still in her teenage years. I believe she is in a “magulo” state; as all teenagers out there whether they are boys or girls. I’m not generalizing here. Ok? Call me “matigas” but I wasn’t affected with all her drama. It is as if she’s a very complicated person to the point of ruining her life and to the point of not having a focus.


She’s magulo for me. Period.

Now, the first male lead; I think we, as readers, know where this is going. So, pleaseeeee, please, please, get on with it. (Sa totoo lang nakakapagod magbasa ng paulit ulit na… hey, gawin mo na kong bampera. Ples? Suck me Edward. Suck me!!!!! And no pun intended here).

I was also trying to come up with lists that can be used as plot twists for the saga (as Meyer has multiple plot twists that up until now when all of them are going to end). Here’s what I came up with:

- Mike will die. He will end up as a Frankenstein. Bella will fall for Mike. Mike will be Bella’s third boyfriend.

- A new character will be introduced. His name is Brendan. He is a mummy as the high school they’re studying in shipped a mummy from a museum and the Mummy lived. Bella will again fall for the mummy due to some history issues. Brendan will be Bella’s fourth boyfriend.

- Bella will stumble to some underground world. She’ll meet Chito, a Morlock. Since Bella will be trapped there for quite some time as Edward can’t stand the taste of a Morlock, she will stay there for a year. Bella will get married with Chito and she’ll be able to escape the underground world. She’ll find out Chito’s hanging friend is not as much as Edward’s.

Now, here’s something weird. Let’s say Bella is a hoe. She does it with Edward and Jacob. A mix of genetics in Bella’s fallopian tube made the egg cell to split into two and both Edward and Jacob’s sperm do some mixing with her dual egg cell. I think you’re getting my point here.

And that would be awesome. A human with two husbands: a vampire and a werewolf. We have twins that consist of a vampire and a werewolf. Now, that is an awesome epilogue.

Who will take care of the babies? Will the twins fight always? What religion should the twins believe in: Catholic or Protestant?

We’ll never know…

--=+=--

Fine. Fine. Eclipse is fairly betterer than the two previous books. (I just have to admit that).

Of some drama. boo.

Ang tao talaga likas na mahaba ang pasensya. Lalo na ang mga Asyano. Ang mga nakatira kasi sa Western Hemisphere ang bilis mainis. Gusto nila instant lahat. Parang cup noodles. Medyo halata naman e. Pagdating pa lang sa mga movies nila ang olats na e. Kailangan mabilis ang pacing. Kung hindi, sasabihin panget. Buti na lang bumenta yung No Country for Old Men. Tingnan mo ang mga Asian movies lalo na ang mga pelikulang Hapon. May mga parte ng pelikula na mabagal na mabagal diba. Pero pag tinanggal mo ang mga parteng yun makokornihan ka sa palabas. Kulang na kulang na kulang. Parang tigang.

Itong munting isusulat ko ay dala lang ng aking sariling opinion. Hindi ako galit ngayon pero marami din akong ayaw sa mundo. Parang ikaw. Oo, ikaw tsaka ikaw. Kayo. May mga kinaiinisan din naman kahit papano. Oo, sibilisado ako pero may drama din ako. Idol ko kasi yung leading man ng Psych. Madami akong nakikita. Ang tawag dun matang bubuyog (akala mo Powers of Observation no.)

Hindi ko gusto yung mga taong nakaharang sa daan lalong-lalo na kung yun lang ang dadaanan ko at mas hindi ko gusto kung titingnan ka pa ng masama dahil dumaan ka doon. Hindi ko gusto yung mga taong sabay sabay maglakad tapos ang bagal nilang maglakad at wala kang madaanan, paano kung nagmamadali ka? Hindi ko din gusto yung mga mahilig sumingit, tinititigan ko yun hanggang matunaw sila tapos ihahalo ko sa kape ko parang lalong pumait.

Hindi ko gusto yung dinededma ako ng mga taong dapat na pinapansin ako tulad sa pagbabayad sa isang grocery, 7-11 or kung ano man, ako na nga yung magbabayad parang utang na loob ko pa ang paglapit sa inyo, trabaho nyo po yan. At hindi ko din gusto yung mga taong buntot ng buntot sa kin pag may hinahanap ako sa isang mall, kung may kailangan ako, ako ang lalapit sa inyo, at wala po akong balak mag-umit ng kung ano man sa inyo, hindi ko po nanakawin yang t-back na yan, wala akong paggagamitan sa panandalian.

Hindi ko gusto yung mga taong sapilitan kang hihingan ng kung ano man tulad ng donasyon, load, o dura, bakit ako magbibigay sa inyo ng donasyon? Kung gusto kong magbigay ng donasyon, pupunta ako sa pinakamalapit na institusyon ng charity at dun ako magbibigay dahil gusto kong makita ang mga mata ng mga batang tinutulungan ko. At hindi ko din gusto yung mga taong nangungulit na magpalit ng relihiyon. Ateista ako at ayoko ng Diyos. Biro lang. Kung gusto kong magpalit ng relihiyon, noon ko pa ginawa. Bilang isang Katoliko, isa ito siguro sa mainam na relihiyon. Hindi ko kasi kailangan maging full time sa relihiyon ko. Hindi naman sa minamaliit ko ang relihiyon ko (at hindi ko din pinagmamalaki ng husto), ang punto lang ayokong sumali sa inyo. Tuldok.

Hindi ko din gusto ang mga taong nagmamagaling kahit na may historya na ikaw ng kapalpakan at hindi ko din gusto ang mga taong magagaling pero hirap maging mapagkumbaba. At dahil sinabi ko ito, sigurado hipokrito na ang dating ko dito. Pero diba naman. Alam ko tama yung ideyang yan. (ang yabang ko na yata. bwahahaha)

Hindi ko din gusto yung mga pasaway na mga lagpas bente anyos na hanggang ngayon hindi alam kung kelan magiging responsable. Mga iho at iha, magkaiba po ang laro at trabaho. Kung naiintindihan nyo, binabayaran kayo ng kumpanya para magtrabaho at hindi para mamili kung anong gusto nyo sa buhay. Hindi tama yung binigyan kayo ng trabaho na ayaw nyo e ayaw nyo na. Kung hindi kayo makapagresign at sasabihin nyo na wala kayong choice, e isipin nyo na lang. Dalawang taon kayong papapel ng ganyan dahil sa bond nyo? Tablan naman sana tayo ng sipa sa puwet. Magpasalamat tayo dahil swerte tayo at hindi kayo kasama dun sa milyong Pilipino na walang trabaho na katulad sa inyo. Sana maintindihan nyo ang halaga ng pera.

Kung may tablan man dito pasensya na. Wala akong pinatatamaan (pero meron meron meron!). Sabihin nyo mang hipokrito ako, okay lang. (at marami pa kong gusting sabihin, pero tama na muna)

Pwede naman kayong mag-react at sabihin sa mukha ko na mali ako. =)

--=+=--

Pag pagkabwisit pala marami kang masusulat no? Hahaha. Sa susunod, mga magaganda naman para patas ang takbo ng Feng Shui.

Dahil paborito ko si Kris Aquino e.

10.02.2008

Of double z's.

Movies can make or break a person. I mean once you watch a movie it may control you to the point that you believe the fictional story is true. Maybe due to the way it was told or you were convinced of the whole story of the movie that it might have hit your Achilles heel.

Back in the 80’s, I almost believed in two movies. There’s father and son (is the title really right? I think the actor for this one is Dudley Moore, the story revolves around a father and son switching just like Tom Hank’s Big) and Arachnophobia. Arachnophobia was somehow bigger that time due to its astig story.

My father told me, after watching the film, not to trust spiders. I can only trust them if they have doctorate degrees and if they have a respectful job such as a politician or a policeman (1… 2… 3… BWAHAHAHAHA. You can laugh with me if you want to). Anyhoo, my dad just told me to take care of myself around spiders.

Scary movies really affect me too as they are responsible for me having the lights turned on while I sleep. It took me a while to get over that phase. I mean, scary movies before made me really scared that’s why my favorite movies before are usually comedy films due to the fact that I was one scared sissy.

I’ve already gotten past this stupid phase in my life; I am now looking for that scariest movie. And I haven’t found one after the next two scary movies that I’m sharing. Wait, make it three.

First is, The Ring. I almost had a phobia with television. But it didn’t really stick with me. Next is Shutter, I’m not fond with cameras so I just looked away when there’s a camera.

And probably The Sixth Sense mattered. After watching the movie, I had a great interest now for a person’s third eye.

Movies don’t just make a person scared or phobic. It also makes a person interested in fictional stuff and makes it to a point of living it up in one’s life. Take Harry Potter for example, I’m a member of this group in the Philippines. I know it is an excuse for me to include it here since the books really mattered. But hey…

(hey? I love you till the morning come?)

Now, I still have a movie that is still haunting me as I’m writing this… Teeth.

--=+=--

Use Wiki on Teeth. I won’t explain.
