Of the Bro #

If you have been watching the show How I Met Your Mather… hehe… Mother, you’d probably be familiar with the Bro Code. Neil Patrick Harris stars in that show and “wala lang” (gusto ko lang I-share.)

Neil Patrick Harris is Doogie Howser by the way to all ya’ ignoramuses.

So, the Bro Code is a special code for guys and I won’t be able to divulge much of it in this post but some of the codes are really awesome. Since I can’t be really a Bro anymore, let me share to you the violations I made in the Bro Code.

12. Bros do not share dessert. I could have from time to time.

35. A Bro never rents a chick flick. I lovvee chick flicks. Bwaahaha.

41. A Bro never cries. Exceptions: watching Field of Dreams, E.T., or a sports legend retire. But only the first time he retires. I’ve violated this one a dozen times already.

77. Bros don't cuddle. C’mon. Who doesn’t love cuddling? Bwahahaha.

112. A Bro doesn't sing along to music in a bar. We all love singing… don’t we?

139. Regardless of veracity, a Bro never admits familiarity with a broadway show or musical. Despite the fact that, yes, broadway begins with bro. But… But… But… I love broadway!

148. A Bro doesn't listen to chick music in front of other Bros. C’mon. Bwahahaha.

4. A Bro never divulges the existence of Bro code to a woman. Obviously, I’ve violated this one again and again and again.

--=+=--

I have an audio and pdf file of this. Anyone who wants to hear the whole stuff then I’d sent this on to you on your mail.

I know guys would kill me for this but this is just funny…

And yeah, this one’s full of sexist remarks like:

34. Bros cannot make eye contact during a devil's three way... two dudes.

And…

69. Duh.

No, I’m not going to explain anything.

--=+=--

(syet. Ang kupal talaga nung listahan na yan. Dapat makabuo din tayo ng Pinoy Bro Codes. Ganito kasi yan. Ang Bro Code ay isang indication to say that you are cool. So, pag sabit yung ginawa mo. Kunwari nanakit ka ng babae, hindi cool yun.)

--=+=--

And yeah, earphones and psp players doesn’t seem to make a person cool anymore. Listening to Love Radio or Energy FM is cooler.

Seriously.

Of the concierto #

Wow. The E-heads are back this year. I know. I know. This is a week late for that E-heads news. I’m updated with this even before the press release.

(PERO ANAK NG EWAN NA ANAK NG ANAK NI ZUMA NA KAPATID NI BAGWIS NAMAN.)

5000 for a VIP ticket. Yes, 5000 thousand… errrr… 5000 bucks.

But why? I think I know the answer for this one, but still… c’mon guys. 5000. Really?

The next would be 3000 and I think there’s a 1500 or 1300 and an 800.

And they’ll be doing this one in MOA.

I think I’ll be eating the words I’ve posted a while back. “Kahit 5000 yan manonood pa din ako. Bwahahaha.”

(Pero madrama lang ako. Forever. Tsaka mahirap lang ako. Donations are officially accepted este acceptable from... 3... 2... 1... ayan. ok na.)

--=+=--

I think I’m going to watch Fall Out Boy alone. But I’m not keen on watching it in front. The uber far seat costs 500 bucks only and I think that price is enough… for me. I like that band but I’m not a die-hard fan. I have a great feeling that fan girls would fill the seats and I’d rather be away from the high-pitched screams.

I’m still thinking about it though. Pedestrians (as my cono friend termed it. Bwahahaha) or jologs might be in the same spot as I am and I really hate rowdy teenagers. How can you enjoy a concert if jack-asses are near you?

(pero that’s just me. Maarte kasi ako. It’s either sa harap ako or hindi na lang ako manonood at magmumukmok na lang ako.)

(Pero drama ko lang ito at yung mga pinagsasabi kong experience… never happened. Papansin kasi ako.)

--=+=--

My cousin’s girl recently had a baby and her name’s Denden and I texted my mom that the girl was able to give birth to a girl.

Moi: Pumu2k na daw panubigan ni dondon.

Mama: Den2. Cge keep me updated.

Moi: Ganun din yun. Dingdong.

Mama: Denden nga, tange.

Congrats Adrian for a bouncing baby girl!

--=+=--

(wala bang appropriate term talaga for girls? Kasi diba pag sa boys bouncing boy, e pag sa girl? Gulong girl? Parang kanta yan ni Ne-yo a… gulong girl… hahaha. hang korni.)

Of the magnet #

I’ve been a celebrity magnet for the past three days.

(alam ko walang katorya torya tong isusulat ko. Hindi ito makaka-solve ng economic problems ng Pilipinas. Hindi nito maaayos ang kaso ng Alabang Boys. Hindi ito makakatulong kung sakaling maglaban si Manny at si Ricky. At lalong-lalong hindi ito makakatulong sa lahat ng mga laro ng Ginebra.)

(E keber ko ba.)

So, the second day (oo, mag-start ako sa second day. Kasi ang turo sa kin sa pagbilang, two three one. At oo, walang basagan ng trip), moi officemates and moi went to the Podium to eat lunch. Along the way, was able to see Albert Martinez in Dome and all I can say is… he is sooo gwapo. I know he’s old but who cares. If the guy asks my hand for marriage, I’d say “Hi Ci Ya, Hold Tight” (aaahhh… reference yan ng Spice Girls. Di ba those first three words means yes? Astig diba. Kahit hindi talaga astigin. Wala lang…)

After Fafa Albert, we ate at one of those pricey restos and I saw Chito Loyzaga. Okay, Chito Loyzaga is the brother of Joey Loyzaga and they were called the Loyzaga brothers during their heydays in Ginebra San Miguel (the one with Robert Jaworski). Joey is probably the only one with the headband (tama diba? Head band yung nakapalibot na tela sa noo? Shucks.) At first I thought this was Noli Locsin…

(anak ng ewan. Ang boring naman nitong sinusulat ko. Oeano ngayon kung nakita mo si Albert at si Chito. Suss… yayaman ka ba?)

Third day came and was able to catch the Atienza family in The Meat Shop. The scene was really funny (in our own funny way of course). A group of students (what’s the English of dinumog… hhhmmm… ang hirap a… aahh) gangbanged Kim Atienza and their leader was a nun (in Tagalog, ang pasimuno yung madre). There were around twenty to thirty students who gangbanged them and they had no choice but to go home after all the picture taking brouhaha.

And yeah, we saw a blackbird too (Blackbird singing in the dead of night… pero hindi important ito. Kanta ito at hindi ko alam kung yung blackbird sa kanta ay kung yung blackbird na nakita namin. Kaya hindi ko sigurado ang mga pinagsasabi ko.)

Lastly, I can really say that history doesn’t really repeat itself. Or it may come close but not that exact.

It was almost another cowgirl moment for me again on the first day. I had to take dinner in Megamall’s Atrium and whom did we see? Raimund Marasigan’s family again… I had to tell a friend but I wasn’t really keen on doing an autograph (tama na yung unang kahihiyan, though iba na yung book na nasa bag ko.) Eventually, my friend did ask for an autograph and he almost had a cowgirl scene as I told him that he forgot to get Myrene’s signature.

And yeah, that’s it.

(At feeling ko magnet ako. yuck. duh?)

Of the Subic #

Last year, Tagaytay road trip was our thing and for this year, it probably is Subic.

I’ve always and will always love road trips.

There is probably one thing that wouldn’t be ok for me… being a driver. Though, I would like to drive road trips in the future too. As long as I drive using manual transmission and the music would be Overdrive over and over and over and over and over again.

(Patitochini!!!! Ginataang suso ng kabayo… ha? Ano daw? Na mix up ko na ang prologue ng Overdrive.)

Anyhoo, I love those kinds of trips because I enjoy watching the scenery and nature. That’s why I’ve always wanted to be near the window whenever there’s a trip. You wouldn’t know what you’d see.

Example of it are: a man peeing, a dog peeing, a horse peeing, a man peeing again, a goat peeing, and probably a cow peeing.

And it is truly exciting to see that kind of scenery.

Now, if you’ve seen the third or second Final Destination (the one with the highway scene. It is probably the second installment of Final Destination), we’ve almost had that same opportunity when we drove to Subic last weekend. I didn’t know that tires of trucks would blow and create an exhilarating approach in life.

Isn’t it nice when your driver is a lady and you’d tell her, “Let’s do it again” (err... parang ang sagwang pakinggan. Bwahahaha.)

Anyhoo again, we passed by this new route to Subic; probably around 80 to 90 kilometers long. I think it’s called NCTEX? Or KOTEX? Either of the two I suppose. The scenery was great. You get to pass by natives and the view is really breathtaking (in my own eyes of course, mababaw lang naman ang kaligayahan ko.) Oh, and I’m not referring to the natives when I say breathtaking. If they are dementors then they still aren’t breathtaking but soultaking. Hehe.

(Oh, we’ve passed by monkeys too. I love wild… life.)

Now, Subic is probably one of the sinful places I’ve been lately, next to St. Francis. I didn’t know that Royal Duty Free would really empty your pockets. Thank God my E.Q. is high and I wasn’t able to spend much… and no, no chocolates for ya’ all… sorry.

And yeah, after that we dropped by in Clark and all I can say is that place looks depressing, I’m referring to the “Duty Free” stores in that area as SM Clark’s area is different.

Woo. I wanna go back. Hot Air Balloons!

--=+=--

(Mga kababawan ko lang itetch.)

Of the vendor #

(woohoo. Ang sakit sa ulo talaga pag ikaw ang sasalo sa mga tamad. Ikaw na din eventually ang gagawa ng work nya. Syettest. Hindi QA itetch. Pero yeah, I have to do this para marelax ako. Kundi Godzilla mode na naman ako sa office and yeah, lahat na lang ba ng pasaway dito sa team naming pagsasabihan ko? Potah. Nakakapagod yun a. Ano ako, super babysitter. E kung babantayan ko si Rustom Padilla? Bebesitter na yun pag ganun.)

(pakshetters to the max talaga.)

Anyhoo, I got a bright idea earlier… as in way earlier (earliest na yun pag ganun. Atsaka kalokohan na naman ito. Pramis. Peksman.) I was thinking of the usual people in our neighborhood. What if they’re as tech-savvy as us? I think there would be a major difference.

Ok. When I say ‘the usual people in our neighborhood’, I’m referring to the magtataho, the magpuputo, the magbibinatog, and your usual mag-collar jobs.

What if they have their own websites?

If that happens, we don’t need to wait for a million years waiting while watching ‘Kay Susan Tayo’ (can you say that without any nasal approach?) All we have to do is to drop by the website and check the time that they’ll probably pass by.

There wouldn’t be an exact time of course since time is inconsiderate in their line of work. Except of course if they’re connected via wi-fi using their triple E mini-notebook. Then, they can add some shout-outs in their site.

“Daan me p0h ng 3pm sa Virgo Strit”

And us, the consumer, would be in the advantage since we are updated with what they’re selling. We just have to drop by Mamang Sorbetero’s website and check the flavors that he made the night before. For sure, we’ll be happy with the ube and cheese dirty ice cream mix.

Forums would always be a part of a website and people would talk about fanfics and stuff in this site. Manong Sorbetero and Manong Magtataho slash stories anyone? This would be the fine place for that. As ate Vi would say it, “Perfect!” (hahaha. si ate vi nga ba talaga yun?) Even the wardrobe can be discussed and of course, different images can be fantasized (hehe). From Twilight to Anime to more vampires! Perfect!

Uh-huh.

(inantok ako. Lahat ng ideas nawawala sa utak ko. bwahaha. Hang hirap maging vad treep. Gusto kong madepress! Nakabili ako ng Slumdog Millionaire!)

Of the spitz #

I haven’t been doing any work-worthy stuff today. Despite me having a sixty-hour estimate, I still am doing nothing. Well, practically I’m just plurking the whole morning due to some un-fun times. But it’s okay.

You may call me apathetic (I’m more of a pathetic though), but its okay.

I didn’t have any interests with Obama’s inauguration. I don’t know why. The clearest thing that I can think of is that are we really dependent to these Americans? Or mental colonialism is jut kicking in? I don’t know. You can’t blame me on anything. I didn’t even really follow much of the presidential wars. The democratic candidate race was more exciting.

One of the probable reasons why I didn’t care, it was too un-climactic for me.

Though, I still read the speech made by Obama. It was your usual speech full of hope. I just don’t want to say that this man is great… for now. Give me three years and let us see if he can really do something for America and then I’d probably talk. (and I didn't even listen to his speech kasi hindi ako interested in some ways.)

And since this is the case, I’m shutting my mouth for any Obama related reactions.

Would we be like this when local elections come? Would we have the same care as what some or most of us are doing? I do hope so. I think we should focus first on ourselves before checking out of the box.

I know that U.S. affects us greatly especially when it comes to technology and imported products and they also affect the worldwide economic problem but it would be nice too if we check ours first.

It is not too late as most of us are always complaining.

--=+=--

(whoo. Teka lang. This is getting way too serious for me. I’m not here to do any debates as I won’t even try to answer one. Wala lang. I’m clearing things out on the top of my head. Pero kasi kung hopeful na ang U.S., dapat tayo din hopeful sa kahit ano diba? It won’t kill us if hope for the best palagi despite what’s happening in our country today. We just have to open our eyes and honestly, there are other countries na may nangyayari pang mas worse sa atin sa totoo lang.)

(There’s Atlantis na lumubog na sa Bermuda Triangle. And there’s Sodom and Gomorrah na gumuho kasi ang cute ng mga tao dun. Letmesee, ayun… then there’s the Philippines. O diba third naman tayo, so oks pa din!)

(Tingnan nyo na lang ang presyo ng gas. Bumaba na. Sana sumunod na din yung mga ibang nagtaas which is malabo kasi shrewd tayo e. Boo.)

(Yeah. Sayang oras lang…)

--=+=--

Yeah. I’m skeptic. So sue me.

Of the Oscars #

Why? Why you guys did left Gran Torino out of the Oscars? Is it because we have another Eastwood film? C’mon. Or it sounds like another Babel or Crash? But still, this is in a different context.

Or maybe, it is happening all over again… discrimination against some movies by the Oscar people. (para akong barok nang magsalita. bwahahaha)

I’ve waited for this nomination to come out since last month and all I can see are more nominations for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. IMHO, I didn’t like TCCBB. Though, I did watch that film (as in watch watch), it didn’t made any impact in my life unlike Slumdog Millionaire or Frost/Nixon.

I’m still trying to find a good copy of FN. The copy I got was kind of “not working” and the first part of the movie is kind of interesting already.

I’ll try to make some predictions even if I’m not really a good movie reviewer or what-not. I just love watching movies. And here goes:

Best Motion Picture of the Year – Slumdog Millionaire (I haven’t seen Milk and The Reader)

Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role – Mickey Rourke for The Wrestler (I haven’t seen The Visitor and Mickey was really not a mouse… err... Mickey was really convincing in this film. And for you Mr. Hulk Hogan, this is not year film. Intiendes?)

Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role – Will update this one. I have Changeling here at home.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role – It may be Heath Ledger. Just a wild guess. =)

Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role – Guess is Penelope Cruz (Tomei lacked something in the Wrestler)

Best Achievement in Directing – I’d go for Slumdog Millionaire. It felt like I was watching a Bollywood film.

Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen – In Bruges? Another wild rhinoceros.

Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published – TCCBB? Dunno…

Best Achievement in Cinematography – Slumdog Millionaire. A different Asia. Really.

Best Achievement in Editing – Dunno. I only enjoy watching. I don’t go technical. Though Engineer me. Hahaha.

Best Achievement in Art Direction – The Dark Knight?

Best Achievement in Costume Design – Pass.

Best Achievement in Makeup – Hellboy II. Because I want to.

Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Score – I have to pass.

Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Song – Because I hate Indian songs… Wall-e.

Best Achievement in Sound – Wanted or The Dark Knight?

Best Achievement in Sound Editing – As I’ve said, I only watch movies. I’m deaf by the way. (pero hindi ako si Johnny. Hindi ako ganun kapogi. BWAHAHAHAHA!)

Best Achievement in Visual Effects – I’d go for TCCBB.

Best Animated Feature Film of the Year – Wall-e. Yuck. I didn’t like it.

Best Foreign Language Film of the Year – uhhhm…

Best Documentary, Features – Double uhmmm…

Best Documentary, Short Subjects – uhhmmm… from your sinaing?

Best Short Film, Animated – Bwahahaha. Eh?

Best Short Film, Live Action – Zzzz…

Gayest Pinoy for 2009 – Bebeh Gandanghari.

--=+=--

(bakit naleft out ang Gran Torino? You guys suck. Pero ako lang to. Walang makikipagdebate sa kin a. Tao lang ako.)

And can you please pray for my cousin's girl? I think she's having a baby. (as in now na.)

Of the blech #

When the group Hottie and the Nottie err Hootie and the Blow… fish came out from the music scene, I wasn’t really keen on it. I hated their music. I hated them for quite some time and I don’t know why.

It is probably the lead singer’s voice that makes me go ewww?

Come college (I know… I was just in my high school years when I first heard this and I swear this is a good year for good music), I heard this from someone in college. She had this cassette tape that she used with one of our teambuilding activities.

So eventually and slowly I got to get the hang of their music. Even if I only listened to a few of this band’s hits, it doesn’t really matter for me. (kasi ok na talaga ako kahit yung song na ito lang ang marinig ko ngayon. This may sound pathetic but reading the lyrics of the song. Hahaha. Wala lang.)

And it seems that this is becoming cornier by the moment.

I’m stuck with the song Only Wanna Be With You. Blame it on Marley and Me.

Well there’s nothing I can do :: Only wanna be with you :: You can call me your fool ::
Only wanna be with you :: Yeah Im tangled up in blue :: Only wanna be with you

I’d probably be blaming this from all the movies I’m watching lately. Cashback, The Last American Virgin, You Are The One, Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin, and even Slumdog Millionaire.

And that’s it. I won’t talk more of this corny stuff. It is starting to get on my nerves.

--=+=--

(saktong sakto kasi. You can call me your fool. Pero hindi naman talaga your’s, dapat palitan yan ng you can call me like a fool. Or a nincompoop. Or stupid. Or tatanga-tanga. Or engot. Or uber-grandoso pathetic. Pero totoo yung Only Wanna Be With You.)

Bwahaha. I never knew that I’ll be writing this right now. I know I called sick in our office but I just have to stay home right now. Can I just have this long long long month-long or uber year-long vacation? Where I’ll just stay in the Will of the Wind or the Valley of the Wind or a Person who had to take out his Wind?

(whoo. Konti pa. Konti pa. Konti pang release. I swear I’ll be back a few posts from now. Hindi ko na kasi masabi na blog post ito kasi hindi ko na talaga pwedeng tawaging blogger ako. At kaunti pang kachorvahan. Bwahahaha.)

Of the fish #

Crying in movies is such a big thing for me. I really don’t believe in the idea that boys shouldn’t cry. In fact, there are a lot of positive things that will help a person if ever you cry. Did you know that tears are like blood that whenever you run out of it, it refreshes your body?

Of course that is not true. (may dating lang talaga ang isang statement pag sinabi mo na yung magic words na ‘Did You Know’. Kaya nga magically magical yung song ni Chicqui Pineda e.)

Anyhoo, I’ve posted something about this movie before and I want to update myself. The movie is called Big Fish.

I’ve had an FGD (or Focus Group Discussion) with a set of people about the movie at hand and found a psychological impact of that movie on men. I don’t know what or how or why but it is affecting men in ways that can’t be explained. Yes, I cried when I watched that movie and I asked ladies about it and they didn’t even bother to bulge.

Now, I asked them if they knew guys who cried when they’ve watched that movie and informed me that a few guys cried when they’ve seen it.

Maybe (and just maybe) there is something between the relationship of the father and son protagonists. One of the greatest “impacts” of this movie (for me) is when the father told the son to create the final story for his father.

Despite the funny images and the funny scene, it wasn’t really funny for me.

(pero seryoso. Ang galing galing para sa akin nung approach nung movie na yun. Especially, yung cry fest, for moi, last part nung movie. If you’re going to see it objectively, wala lang. I mean, ayun. Dinala ni anak si ama sa river na may mga taong nag-iintay sa kanya. At tapos ginawa siyang isda. Ayun. Yun na yun.)

Personally, I think this has got to do something with our personal lives. I just don’t know if this affects the child-father relationship. It must be.

But I am a private person and I don’t dwell much on this. I’d rather expose our pet turkeys. And that’s it.

Yeah. That’s it.

--=+=--

And you have to watch Big Fish too because there’s a Pinoy reference again in that film! Just wait for the part (it would take you an hour if you wait for it) of the ventriloquists scene. You’d probably just hear blabber but when you listen very clearly, it’s quite different. The guy is speaking in Filipino! Woo hoo!

--=+=--

And i'm changing my name to Rustom Padilla. I believe it is now available...

Of the hotel #

Don’t we all love to stay in hotels? I’m not talking about those sleazy and blech-worthy self-proclaimed “we are a hotel” hotel. I’m talking about hotels where the carpet is really red and there is a fridge and there are no mirrors in the ceiling.

And yes, we love to stay in hotels. I think I did say this one just a few seconds ago.

We love to stay in hotels. Oops I did it again?

Now, this blog post is about me offering you a one (did I just say one? Bwahahaha!) in a lifetime moment on free hotel stays. (syet. Walang kakwenta kwenta na tong mga pinagsasabi ko. Bwahahaha Of course hindi totoo to. This is purely nonsense. So, what it is to you? Duh duh duh.)

(commercial muna. Alam nyo yung kasabihan na Momol? I just picked this one up with a friend and it means Make Out Make Out Lang. I won’t say more of this pero wala lang. What has happened to our society? Isa lang naman yung kasabihan na gusto kong ipamahagi. Yung tito ko ko kasi before he had a… uhm… girlfriend who’s not mainam for a girlfriend and my other tito told him na, “Yan ba ang gusto mong sabihin sa mga magiging anak mo, na naging prostitute ang nanay niyo?” Alam ko I’m not in the right place to say this pero everything makes sense diba? I mean if you are wearing the shoes of your future children’s shoes, na sobrang malabo kasi malamang hindi kasya yan, and would you want to tell them of your uber-dark pasts? I don’t think so. Ayan, naligo kasi ako ng holy water kanina.)

Anyhoo, is there such a thing or somekinda churva thing where we would be able to choose what we want inside a hotel?

I can say that I don’t need most of the cabinets since I’d probably just stay for a day. I don’t need the big cabinet for hanging shirts because i’m not attending a wedding. I don’t want the safe since I know I’m safe with the people I am with and I know they’re richer than me so I’m not scared of any klepto moments.

And I do hope that they would provide me a personal alalay that will make me masahe, feed me, tuck me to bed, read me bedtime stories, buy things for me, and bathe me. I hope that they would provide me a Nintendo Wii with all the necessary add-ons when I want to play Rock Band and in addition, I want to have playmates too so that we can really jam. And lastly, I want a black light to verify if ever I would find any unnecessary liquid on the bed, on the wall, and on the ceiling.

Because I will miss Gil of CSI since I haven’t seen any episodes of this show for the past years or months and as much as I want to hook up with the show again, I think I have to pass.

(did I just say hook up and pass in one sentence. Anak ng ewan. Ano yun? Dine-date ko na yung television show? Adeek ka ba?)

And oh yeah, did I just say that staying in hotels is cool if you’re with cool people (actually ako lang yung cool, nai-increase lang yung coolness factor nung mga kasama ko kasi kasama nila ako. But beybe, ish all cool). And yeah (again!), thanks guys for everything.

--=+=--

Woo! I love sleeping with a guy.

Before I forget one more thing, I do hope there’s a wasted signal in the room where you’ll know the person who’s going on a binge drinking have some kind of a “signal” where you’ll know that that person will be really fucked up in the morning.

And yeah, we all love incriminating evidences. =)

Of the djs #

If you’re a public transport lover or in simple terms, you have no choice but to take the jeep or the bus (nandun si kris!!!) because you don’t have a car then you’ve probably heard one or two or both of these set of dj’s.

I’m talking about the radio of course.

(kung djinn yan adeek ka. Uy, Magic reference… asteeg. Medyo nadedepress ako ngayon. Naglalabas lang ng sama ng loob.)

Anyhoo…

Just last year the Nicole Ayala slash Cris Tsuper phenomenon broke out. I was mocking my always update mom, “Ma, hindi mo kilala si Nicole? Ha? Imposible!!!” I later found out that they had no radio in the office so I guess that is an obvious reason on why she can’t listen to them as our car’s radio is fixed with Chico and Delamar (seryoso. Nakafix na talaga sa station na 93.1 yung stereo namin. Ganito kasi yun. Nanakawan kasi kami ng car stereo noon. E umabot pa nga sa point na walang radio sa kotse. E nakakita kami nung tig-500 lang na radio since hindi naman kami mabibbo sa car accessories churva tsaka luma na yung sasakyan so ayun. Chipipay na radio, nasira yung tuner knob nya sa 93.1. At buti naman dun nasira… moving on…)

These two individuals really hit the local airwaves with their witty and, yes, loud mornings. They were practically noisy in the morning as you, the commuter, would try to ignore the stereo-ni-manong but can’t do it since you’re practically trapped. All you can do then is to close your eyes and “kunwari natutulog ka”. But the truth is, and nothing but, you’re actually listening to them, even if you don’t want to. And I swear, you could’ve smirked at one of their side comments.

Just late last year, there is this certain individual who practically is at their level. We welcome Mister Foo in the arena. I tried searching for this guy’s profile (try is such a big word) in the Internet and I can’t find one that fits. This guy is not really a guy and the thing that is making him “famous” right now is his way of adding the word “meganun!” in every minute.

Before I hit this off, I have to say first that I am not entirely familiar with the two sets of Dj’s mentioned above. I just know that they exist. I know Nicole’s time-slot is nine in the morning and Mister Foo’s station is the one with the “Hi Pangga!” I don’t know if they’re residing in the same radio station.

I know one thing. Both radio stations are number one.

Also, we have to admit the fact that they cater to a different audience. We can’t compare them with the likes of Chico and Delamar or those three bastos dudes (I really don’t listen to them so you can’t blame me on any thing. I just know that there’s a Sam YG there. So there.)

As much as I would like to compare these two sets of Dj’s, as I originally intended to. I might just end up being subjective.

You see, the moment I heard Mister Foo talk, I just found his words empty. I mean, he does have that “meganun” ringing in my ear all day and all of the people who hear him can have that same amount of icky dosage much more to the people whom I’ve shared the “meganun” experience.

They hate me by the way.

But that’s it. I guess it is safe to say that this Dj is gay and I believe you’re familiar with those people who talk loud in a gay way. And I really think that I can’t learn anything from this guy. I mean if you want your mornings to be exciting without the music then you must at least try to learn something from someone in the morning.

What am I saying here? More stupidity I presume, Mr. Watson?

Moving on to the duo, I adore Nicole in a public utility sort of way. This girl’s a real kolehiyala by the way and I just have to take out Cris in the picture (though he fits the duo by being the sidekick) since he’s just there. Yeah, he is just there most of the time.

Nicole would be this loudmouthed woman in the morning but if you really listen to what she’s talking about then you’ll learn something from her. Really! Just as Mister Foo, they have to cater to their audience, that’s why they talk like that.

But still. They talk crap most of the time. Err… crap in a sense where intelligent people like us (yihee kasama ka) wouldn’t stop by and listen to their crap.

(bwahaha. Sabay bawing ewan na ganun. Kalokohan na ito. Gawan ba naman ng intelligent churva ang mga ganitong bagay? Bwahahaha. Ding ang bato!)

--=+=--

Yeah. This is taking too long for a post. I really don’t have a point in this one; much like all my posts. I just want to say it.

Of the nutrition #

I’m trying to see the point on why Americans are health conscious with the food that they’re eating. If I remember a few years ago, the movie Super-sized Me was quite a shocker for all those who’ve watched it (obviously there are these skeptics but who cares on what they draw. Ha? Sketchtics ba yung mga yun? Sorry… Pwedeng mag-sorry?)

Every time I hit the Yahoo site, there is always this and that article on nutrition values for a certain food group. Or this set of food group is the dirtiest food that is serve on which is what fast food restaurant. Or this set of food group would make Dante (not Varona) scream at you because you broke the sin gluttony.

Thank God for us Filipinos it is quite easy.

“So, anong ingredients ng iluluto mo?”
”May baboy at patis…”

Obviously, those two ingredients can give us either a heart attack or something that can kill our bladders. Ergo, there is not a specific advice on the nutrition values for each ingredient we eat.

And it would be ultimately weird if we buy something in the market (or the palengke), and the market vendor would add, “aaayy ati, yang isda nyu pung binilee. May umega tri po yan. Tapos maganda din po sa katawan ang isda kase hinde masyadong nakakataba yan. Masarap yan po. Marami pong prutina na maitutulong sa katawan nyo. At ayon sa Wold Helt Organisesyon, ang isda talaga ang pinakamainam na pagkain…”

“Iha, yung sukli ko…”

“Akala ko makakalusot…”

Finally, wouldn’t it be really nice if we have these foreign nutritionists who would go to the Philippines and do their study:

Foreign Nutritionist: “Man, it is really hard to do the values for the viands that you Filipinos are eating. Okay, that sineygang was hard. What do we have next?”

Pinoy Epal 1: “Dat seeer is a Bowpis.”

Foreign Nutritionist: “Let’s get this over with. So, what are the ingredients of that Bowpis?”

Pinoy Epal 1: “Pare, paano iinglesin tong laman loob ng baboy, baga, puso, lapay, at bato kasama ang lalamunan?”

Pinoy Epal 2: “Tangna pare, wag mo kong pahirapan. Bahala ka dyan. Bisita mo yan e.”

Pinoy Epal 1: “O well seer. You see we nid da insayds op a pig.”

Foreign Nutritionist: “You mean the meat of a pig?”
Pinoy Epal 1: “Yes. Ol op it. I kent Inglish it bat it is da insayds op a pig.”

Foreign Nutritionist: “Hhhmm… Pig meat. Check.”

Pinoy Epal 1: “Dat’s it.”

--=+=--

(I think obvious na naman yung gusto kong paratingin. Nakakatamad mag-isip e. Bwahahaha. Pasensya na. Mahaba pa kasi yung usapan nyan. Nawala na ko sa focus. Inaantok pa ko. Whoo! Bitin parang seventies pant.)

Of the Psych #

According to Wiki: The Mayon Volcano is an active stratovolcano in the province of Albay, in the Bicol Region, on the island of Luzon, in the Philippines.

Even though that I really don’t know what strato-anodaw-volcano means, I fully understand the common words, province and island and the proper words Albay, Bicol, Luzon, and the Philippines. Oh yeah, the word region too but I was confused on where I should put it. Is it common or is it proper? It is in its capital form, so where should I put it?

Should I buy common sense at the bookstore, the drugstore, or from the candlestick maker?

Now, I was watching Psych the other day and the bida guy was talking about landscapes and mountains and other forms of nature when he said (no, I can’t quote him on this one since I really don’t remember the actual script that he said, I’ll just say the gist. You know? Gist? Singko plus singko), “… the Mayon Volcano is found in the island of Hawaii…”

What the packing tape?

The writers would probably think that we couldn’t be reached by their shows. Haven’t they learned with the Desperate Housewives and the other Brit sketch that made some politicians lose their hats (or it is another way of campaigning. Libre na, free pa. Because they’re pathetic and they need free publicity kasi it costs millions of pesos for them to do publicity. Kaya nga todo-todo sila sa pagpapapel pag may mga churvang ewan na nangyayari sa Pilipinas. Inuubos nila ang kaban ng ating bayan. Napapagod na ko sa mga kawalang-hiyaan nila. Ayoko na. Please lang. Maawa na kayo sa amin! Tama na! Stop na! Palitan na!!!!)

Err… Where was I? … Oh yeah…

Well, the idea wasn’t that controversial. It may just be a spoof or a lack of research for their part or a punchline that is not really funny.

A few episodes after, they made this reference regarding on how Pinoys are famous in the modeling industry and it would be easy for them to enter bars that contains famous people. This is either a Cunanan (remember Giovanni? KATOOOK MGA MISISS!! Ay hindi yun… Calvo yun. I was referring to Giovanni Versace where this Pinoy guy or something killed him like that) reference or Pinoys are really big in the fashion industry? (errr… hindi ko alam talaga. Wala akong pakelam. Nanonood lang ako ng tv. pauso ko lang to. Hahaha.)

Anyhoo, some random random what rhymes with random idea. I still wub Psych though.

Of the Tomeimei #

What will make a guy go to the office early?

A MILF officemate.

Huwweeyttt. Is this one of the days where you’ll be sexually discriminatory to women? If you’re planning to do one right now, either you stop or change the topic. We are in a world where there is a great injustice against the female population and the third sexual orientation.

Ok. Ok. Fine. I’m gonna change it.

What will make a guy go to the office early?

A FILF officemate.

Now, this is stupid.

And MILF means Moro International Liberation Front. So, it doesn’t really make any sense after all. Much like cologne.

You know sense… fragrans?

Dang. This is getting stupid by the moment.

Oh, I forgot, this is in case the person that you’re waiting for is early at work. Though this statement doesn’t really matter and what I’m doing doesn’t really matter then Janet Jackson’s song is entitled Doesn’t Really Matter.

--=+=--

I really miss writing stupid things. I’ve been on an idea hiatus though I’ve had some during that hiatus; I’m just too lazy to write it down.

I’m not really serious. I miss being emo. I am just plain slacking off.

I need to pick up my pace before the month ends. I need to run, jump, make noise (quoting Saint John Bosco here)… I think I’m missing something… Is it make a sin or do not sin (heeeerreee’s something corny… yung a sin maalat and yung do not matamis. Bwahahaha. Oo na, ako na lang ang tumatawa sa sarili kong jokes. Pero but… yeah… but munch.

--=+=--

Finally, I’ve seen The Wrestler. My verdict? Well… Put it this way. How many times have you seen Million Dollar Baby? I’m sure you just want to watch that depressing movie once, right?

So, there’s my answer. That movie is really full of drama and you can’t help but pity Mickey Rourke’s character. For sure, somewhere in this universe, that story is true. It may not be as depressing as that but if you read some profiles of former wrestling superstars; you may as want to believe it. Remember my post regarding Bret the Hitman Hart? Yeah, it is probably true.

Wwe is just in the limelight. We have to see the bigger picture.

Yuck. Am I suddenly concerned with these wrestlers?

And Marissa Tomei was… errr… well… if you wanna see a different her. Watch the movie. She’s still pretty though…

(pero kasi but… err.. wala lang. sana hindi na sinama si Marissa sa movie. Parang pinilit lang e. wala lang. imho ko lang yun. And he wasn’t saved by this pootah naman so ano na yung point nung character nya sa movie?)

(teka… à point. Ayan. Hahaha!)

Of the mblog #.

The Internet will always be here and yeah, here to stay. It will always give us the two sides of the coin but it will always go to the logic of purpose. If it is there, use it. It always end up with your ‘choice’ if you’re going to stay inside the virtual world for hours or just, well, pass or passing by.

Blogging is actually the in thing, in some senses. That Eraserheads reunion had some big help with the Pinoy bloggers (as statistics show that we Pinoys love to use the Internet, Friendster anyone? Blech! Oo, naniniwala pa din ako na pang-katulong ang Friendster. I discriminate people! Fine! Tanggalin mo ko sa Friendster list mo!!! … syet, please don’t remove me. Pag nangyari yun 10,325 na lang ang friends ko. Sad.)

So, blogging was really big last year because of the Eraserheads reunion. That’s it. Period!

(walang kokontra! Bwahahaha.)

Moving on… I’m sure you’ve heard of those micro-blogging sites (I just read this somewhere, thank God may tawag na sa kanila.) Sample of which are Plurk, Twitter, and Tumblr (Knock knock… who’s there… Tumblr… Tumblr who? … Tumblr-eeena, bao pue mo sumipa hindi ka nagsasabown… uhm. Yeah.)

Basically, and officially, I’m addicted to Plurk (hindi lang ako, madami kaming adeekted na ditto.) I’ve posted something about this last year and this is sort of an update on additional advantage for this site.

Before signing up to these sites, you should have your friends there too. It would be futile if you’re there alone. And it would probably be like this:

“Where are the people?”

“Why am I all alone?”

“Ooooh! Somebody add me!”

“C’mon! She removed me from her friend’s list. Do people really come and go?”

“Nobody loves me.”

Now, one of the main advantages is you are really updated with the lives of your friends (and you’re FB’s if you want to put it in some other ways.) There’s a drawback of course, sometimes people tend to get carried away and you’d actually know that they’re doing number two at the very moment.

The reaction to that is TMI, by the way.

And the one best thing that amuses me with this is the “biglaang lakads” and the “biglaang gimiks”.

One great example is the eve of New Year. A group of people went to do an “online inuman” with one person who started it by placing a message in Plurk that he/she wants to do an “online inuman”. And yeah, it was a success.

What they did was they got to Skype and YM and turned on their webcams and voila, “online inuman conference.”

So, there is finally an answer to this i-have-to-be-home-durng-new-years-eve-and-i-can’t-drink-with-you-guys. It might sound pathetic but it’s not.

Sadly though, I wasn’t able to join these geeks. It’s fine. There’s still next year!

Of the slam #.

Ako ay nanonood din ng Golden Globe Awards ngayon (kanina pala!). Wala kasi akong pasok pag Lunes, bwahaha. Hindi naman ako masyadong interesado sa Golden Globe. Inuwi na naman kasi lahat ng 30 Rock ang mga awards. Sa totoo lang hindi ko nage-gets masyado kung paano naging sobrang nakakatawa yung show na yun. Ang alam ko kras ko lang si Tina Fey pag may salamin siya, huwag lang yung Sarah Palin look niya. Blech-ers yun.

Basta sa Oscars ako babawi. Yun ang gusto kong topic. At marami pa kong papanoorin na 2008 films pa muna. Medyo mabagal ang download rate ng dsl ko pero may kaunti na kong napanood tulad ng Gran Torino at The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. Nakalinya na yung Slumdog Millionaire at yung The Wrestler.

--=+=--

At speaking of The Wrestler (syet sakto. Pasok na kaagad. Bwahahaha) ang gusto ko kasing ilagay dito ay yung wrestling. Yung walang kamatayang wrestling na hindi ko na dapat pinanood kasi matanda na ko. At ang wrestling, yung wwe a, ay lagi nilang sinasabi na pambata daw.

Pero since isip bata naman ako. Counted na din na pwede akong manood nun.

Nung nakaraang taon kasi nagbigay sila ng mga nakakatawang plot lines na masarap kalimutan. At buti naman nakalimutan ko na talaga dahil wala akong maisulat dito.

Ngayon, naglagay na naman sila nang nakakatawang plot line. Yung kay Shawn Michaels. Ang takbo kasi ng storya, naghihirap na daw si Shawn, tapos nangutang sya kay JBL at ginawa ngayon syang alila.

Anak ng ewan naman. Poide ba. Hindi naman ako tanga.

Pero ok na din. Buhay pa naman yung mga shows na pinanonood ko. So, buhay pa ko.

--=+=--

At syempre nadi-disturb pa din ako sa ultimate touching ng mga wrestlers na to. Pwede ko na sigurong sabihin na lahat sila nahawakan na yung pee-pee nung mga nakalaban nilang mga wrestler.

Ganun ba yun? Hawakan sila ng hawakan tapos macho pa din ang dating nila? Parang may mali dun. Pero ok na din, kahit nakakailang pag may mga maling hawak na silang ginagawa. At eto pa. Di ba pawis yung mga yan, e minsan inaabot sila ng isang oras habang nag-wrestling. E di papawisan pati yung mga singit nung mga yan.

E paano kung hindi naliligo yung wrestler na yun.

Yak.

Of the Dong2 #

Ating balikan muli ang mga kagila-gilalas na adhikain ni Dong.

Ayon sa nakaraan, si Dong ay isang simpleng Pilipino, parang ikaw at ako, na nabubuhay ng tama at mabuti sa lahat ng bagay ngunit siya ay sobrang minamalas sa pagtagpo at nararapat sa kanyang puso.

Magbalik-tanaw muna tayo sa ating kahapon.

Noong araw, para malaman ni babae na mahal siya ni lalaki, kailangan niyang maging isang alipin. Oo, kailangan niyang maging alipin ng pagmamahal. Ito ay nakikita sa pamamaraan ng pag-iigib, pag-puputol ng kahoy, at kung anu-ano pang mga gawaing bahay na iyong makikita na lang kadalasan sa telebisyon kung ikaw ay nakatira sa siyudad.

Sa panahon ngayon iba na.

Gusto na ng tao ang madalian. At kung hindi man ito madaan sa santong paspasan. Ito na lang ay iniiwanan.

Pero itong si Dong, pagbali-baliktarin mo man ang mundo, gusto pa din niya ang magtyaga ng pangmatagalan. Sa kanyang mg nadaanan, pag mabilis pala ang isang bagay, maaaring hindi maganda ang ikahinatnan nito.

At syempre, sa maniwala man kayo o hindi, masasabi nyo na may ganun pa din palang tao ngayon.

Oo, kasi alipin na ng pagmamahal at sinasapit ni Dong. Aabot siguro parte na magmukha mang tanga si Dong, gagawin pa din nya sa pangalan ng pag-ibig. Dahil itong si Dong, huwaran na tao ito. Gagawin niya ang lahat para makuha lang ang matamis na oo.

Bakit niya ginagawa yun? Dahil sa kanyang pananaw, ang taong ito ang pinakamagandang babae sa balat ng lupa. Na talagang sinasamsam niya ang lahat ng oras na kasama niya ang taong ito. Maging ang mga simpleng bati sa kanya ay siguradong nakakapagpaganda ng araw niya.

Pero syempre itong si Dong, tanga talaga yan. Mag-aantay ng mag-aantay yan. Kahit pumuti ang buhok niyan. Si Dong kasi, basta makita na niya ang hinahanap niya sa buhay, hihinto na ang oras para sa kanya at hihintayin na lang niya ang panahon.

Kung hahangin pa din papunta sa kanya ang amihan.

--=+=--

Dahil pathetic talaga si Dong. Bwahahaha. Bow.
