so confused

2009-03-30T02:40:00.000-07:00

look to the past
and remember and smile
and maybe tonight
I can breathe for awhile
I'm not in the scene
I think I'm fallin' asleep
but then all that it means is
I'll always be dreaming of you..

very alarming

2009-03-07T03:12:00.000-08:00

what major is right for you?

it was a 2-way tie between psychology and this. so i could have chosen either way. i chose this.

but..it's totally unanimous against me as a biology major. this so means that i can totally be good at something even without the slightest interest and inclination. kidding.

You Scored as English/Journalism/Comm

You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in Communication, English, Film, Journalism, Literature, or Writing. It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below). You may score high in a category you didnt think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you. The right major for you will be something 1) you love and enjoy and 2) are really great at it. Consider adding a minor or double majoring to make yourself standout and to combine your interests.

valentine humbuggery

2009-02-14T01:13:00.000-08:00

i'm not really about to enumerate valentine humbuggery here i just wanted to share how great my day was despite going stag.haha anyway, so much for my early disclaimer, i had to head downtown because i had to scout for something to wear for my friend's debut. besides, i had an appointment at bench fix to pimp up my do. so along the way, i couldn't help but notice what's everyone up to on this hallmark greeting card day.

all hotels and lodges i passed have their own valentine's day promos which generally includes cheaper rates for overnight stays. i couldn't help but think why you'd have to stay at a cheap hotel just for one night and on valentines..hmm..except maybe.. rrr. *nasty hahaha come to think of it, i know for a fact that plenty of people are born on october. exactly 9 months after feb. including me! don't tell me i wasn't called Val for nothing! NOOO!!! that was a triple negative sentence.hahaha
some restaurants decided to switch to candlelight for the occasion. everyone is oblivious to the fact that their aseptic inspired dinner is mainly due to austerity reasons.haha major drawback: even fast food chains, McDonalds, for instance, joined the bandwagon, so even dudes who only planned on eating some fastfood had to eat theirs in candlelight while listening to tagahugas ka raw.. in the background. EWW BROMANCE!
everyone thinks that if you don't have a date, you have to go out in a big group. no one likes to be thought of as single and not having fun.haha everyone is so defensive. i couldn't help but crack up.

Well, lots of things really made my day today. Even though i was freezing because of the mall's airconditiong on my wet hair that they shampooed and conditioned twice (beats me why), the trip to the barber/salon, should i say, was a pampering experience. and the stylist gave me a pretty decent cut. now i look really fly but not really. And what's more to end valentine's day than a hearty meal at home with ma and pa and some takeout pizza to follow it up.

i'm getting some well deserved sleep.

a remarkably bad start

2009-01-09T04:35:00.000-08:00
i just got home and my head's still spinning from the day's turnout. had coffee with my bloc at karl's. chatted. had a great time. thanks guys. start of the year, i gave out two letters from my goal of three and i'm really happy that in some way, maybe i did get to those people. i love you guys.

on the downside, got wasted. had a fag. just one. and don't get me started on what happened this week, i sucked at the exam. study habits: nonexistent. what's more? i'm a spectacle for public humiliation again. awkward and once again, i allowed myself to be pushed around. i fell for what i resolved to avoid. all for good reason, i suppose. or maybe i like to think.

but all's well. ika nga, basta maayo'ng lawas.

or maybe i just love exaggerating the negative.

what's important is that i reestablished old ties, and i plan on keeping them this time.

maybe not that bad after all.

no day but today

2008-12-31T02:03:00.000-08:00
it's an hour before the year ends, and looking back it's been, well, let's call it eventful, though that's not quite the adjective i was rooting for. There's lot's of things I want to bury at the same time I don't want to forget, but hey this is the new year, new beginnings, cheesy, but at least, that's something to look forward to. I'm thinking of this song right now. I wish I could sing you this..

The heart may freeze or it can burn
The pain will ease if I can learn
There is no future
There is no past
I live this moment as my last
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today

There's only yes
Only tonight
We must let go
To know what's right
No other course
No other way
No day but today

I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal is just
To be
There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
No day but today...

cheers everyone!
happy new year

a lot more emotionalfuckwittage

2008-12-30T03:26:00.000-08:00
hey y'all. something just came over me, and i feel like writing something..i don't know what it is. i just think i'm having ESPN or something (pun intended)hahaha. thank you very much. anyway, my lazy muses told me to write something but they're too lazy to tell me what it is. that's right, blame it on the muses.

i'm crazy

this sounds a lot like my firstest blog..awww..fond memories..hahaha that blog enslaved me! look where i am? i'm damned in blogger's hell, like i have nothing better to do. i was strolling around the mall earlier and my biggest worries were personified when i bumped into Sir Mantequilla. so sue me, i haven't entertained any of those readings that my guilty conscience solidified into something for me to bump on, to remind me that readings should be read. hence, the name. XD

but i didn't blog to tell you about that. sheesh.

the year's about to end, and i just wanna wish everyone peace, love and a good many things to laugh and smile about for the coming year.

and too bad for you because you'll be getting a whole lot more emotionalfuckwittage from me

just because it's christmas

2008-12-24T06:12:00.000-08:00
play this..

Of flicks and paperbacks

2008-12-19T03:15:00.000-08:00
I was plurking awhile ago and I noticed a recent plurk from Paulo Coelho linking you to the trailer of Veronika Decides to Die. I was a bit surprised because as I immediately recalled, if any of you have read The Zahir, I thought he was stating his opinion there about the idea of his books becoming movies. Anyway, the main character in that book was a writer and he was narrating the story, so I was sort of thinking that Coelho was portraying himself as the character. In one part (if i remembered anything from this book it was this part) the narrator was being interviewed and was asked (this is not the exact words): "what do you think is the main theme behind your newest book?" and he answered, "If I had wanted a single idea across then I would have only given you two lines." The interviewer continued: "will your new book have its film adaptation?" he answered something like, "No, I think each reader has its own interpretation of the book, their own vision and everyone will just end up disappointed by the movie. I wouldn't spoil that for them". That's what I remember. Of course it's not accurate. Gawd, if I only have a copy then I wouldn't be so lame trying to tell you about it now.

Going back, of course I checked the link out, Veronika Decides to Die is my favorite from Coelho so far. And let me re-track a bit, don't get me wrong, I was glad that if that was really Coelho's thought the first time, something made him think otherwise. I agree with him both ways anyway. Sarah Michelle Gellar is playing Veronika, and i think that's just perfect. I wonder if she'll go naked in front of the piano. Let's find out.

Another thing I have to tell you about is that coming May 2009 is X-Men Origins:Wolverine! I can't believe it! I really thought they stopped making them. I'm just an ultimate X-Men fan. And if any of you have been Superman or Batman or Power Ranger Red(loser), when you were kids, I most certainly have been Wolverine! I'm totally psyched. and Gambit's there!

And not only is Harry Potter coming next year so is the Hobbit! Newsflash: Harry Potter is not overrated. It's only the Greatest Fantasy Epic of all time, unparalleled except for Lord of the Rings, which is like the god of all fantasy books. All hail JK Rowling and JRR Tolkien! According to my book, Lord of the Rings is one of the last book based movies that really counted and was really justified. Hardcore. I'm hoping The Hobbit is from the same makers as the LOTR Trilogy. But whatever, I'm still gonna check it out.

Oh, and Lovely Bones.which I haven't gotten around to reading.haha

To end, I would just like to say that flick or paperback, doesn't matter. It's a work of art and should be respected as such in their own right. Another thing, if someone comes by saying "ay pangit man daw ang movie, mas maganda daw ang book" tell me first, have you read the book? If not, then you better shut it. Have you seen the movie? If not, then shut it all the more tightly. You'll only embarrass yourself. Ciao!

birds of the same feather FLOCK together.. don't forget the L

2008-12-15T15:00:00.000-08:00

Got this compilation of UP profs' quotable quotes from a UP group. I just had to repost.
1. "The aim of policy making is to invoke
action! Because action speaks louder
than words! You do not just say I love you. You say:

"Ano ba yan? Students ba kayo ng UP? Bakit ang
bababa ng scores niyo?

date. Hindi ba naapektuhan ng UP FAIR
euphoria ng grades niyo? Parang di kayo
masaya..." (sabay matching tapon ng quizzes sa sahig)
"I won't record this. Go find a date."
(sabay walk out.) -Sir Doliente,BA.

That's how you love rationally." --Dr. FG david

12. "Try to die! Try to die!" - sir billones,
on a student who is palpitating while taking the exam. He
claims that after incident refreshed na lagi yung
estudyante. If I know, pag naaalala ng
estudyanteng yun yung moment na yun,
kaya siya laging refreshed, kasi natatawa siya pag
naaalala niya iyon.

13. "Anong molars? You don't say molars because
it is an adjective! Do you say beautifuls?" - ma'am

mechanisms

16. "Kaya nga ideal eh, hindi siya nangyayari sa
totoong buhay. Pero an approximation is good enough" -
sir engle, on ideal and real systems

17. "Don't take the BAR and yourselves too
seriously. baka mabalitaan nalang namin na nag-o-oral
summation kayo sa Luneta. O lumulutang-lutang sa PasigRiver. Enjoy
yourselves, relax, and read at least 15 hours a day.
Nakakabobo ang sobrang tulog. MAg relax ka habang nagbabasa. Magrelax
habang nagmi-memorize. "

18. "Pag nananaba ka sa oras ng exams, ibig sabihin
di ka papasa."

19. "Oh the BAR isn't scary. It's
terrifying. It might even kill you."
and the unforgettable: "Wow. Rape-able."
and "Stand up Miss ___ so that I might see the contours
of your body."

alternately encouraging and disheartening ang drama
nitong prof na'to.

20. Ito naman from our Prof. Ancient:
"Mga engineers? Nako. Bihira pumapasa sa
BAR."

"UP ka nag-undergrad? Bright ka ba?"

"Sa mga taga-UP lang ako bilib eh. Pagpasok nila
sa lawschool, hindi sila disoriented. Bilib ako sa study
habits na meron yang mga batang yan. Some of them look like
they eat kamote thrice a day, pero ang utak, di
ututin!" (ewan ko kung matutuwa ako dito o hindi)

21. sabi ng aming

Prof: and .25 incentive sa final grade niyo!

23. terror prof after an exam (last day na din ng
class..): ok class.. see you next sem!

"Ateneo is not a university, it's a diploma
mill. Bakit ba nakangiti pa mga estudyante dyan kapag
lalabas sila ng gate nila, hindi ba nila nalalaman ang nami-miss
nila sa edukasyon?"

"The more wisdom you obtain, the more you shut
your mouth. This is because the more that you learn, the
more you realize that there are even more things that you do

Walang pupuntahan yan. Hindi kayo
magkaka-intindihan. Tapos yung mga anak niyo, magiging

30. ANOTHER PROF: "Hoy girls, wag kayong kukuha ng
boyfriend dito sa UP. Pare-parehas tayong mahirap dito.

intelligence comes from the Mother naman eh. Kayo guys, wag

Christmas is all around me
and so the feeling grows..

It's written in the wind,
It's everywhere I go,
So if you really love Christmas
C'mon and let it snow

it makes me sick whenever I hear people say "Christmas na diay? dili pa nako feel".. Oh, don't deny it, we get it every year, some may even be guilty of saying it. and whenever someone even utters the first three words of that sentence, a voice in the back of my head just goes off, yah yah we know the drill..haha honestly. call me crazy.

Whenever the calendar flips over to its last page, you just feel it in the air! Garcia Marquez calls it december breeezes. I call it..uhmm.. that too! hahaha the city just lights up with a spectral resonance and there is just a certain glow in everybody's faces that isn't there in any other time of year.

right?

or am i just the biggest christmas nut ever?

haha..

i'm ecstatic. can't put everything into words..

I do not usually do this..let me rephrase that, I do not do this. I do not irresponsibly rant whenever I fail at doing something. I'm cool. I can graciously accept defeat.

But I shall have to make this statement. When you wanted to play by your rules, you had need only to inform me. I asked to be briefed didn't I? Since you were terribly omniscient about the rules and never failed to show it, why did you fail to impress us all by sharing this little piece of information? So much for real sportsmanship.

It's one thing to play with skill and it's one other thing to play relying merely on your opponent's naiveté. Oh, you need not give me that ignorance-of-the-law-is-not-an-excuse bullshit. By all means, I know my rules, and it certainly didn't include one that, for all i know, has been made up by someone so desperate of saving himself after she has counted all her chickens. It reminds me of that Joey Tribbiani episode when he was playing poker on national television and he only had a queen so he said we all know what that means.. "the queen is alone without the king so she gets lonely and eats chips! numnumnumnum" hahaha. that used to be so funny. Gawd.you got to give me break, tie? lie?! any preschooler can rhyme, it's even second nature to dumb cheerleaders. You like hell do not get to give me that ugly smirk, because you can very well die of loser's-lergy if only I had finished that game right then and there and numnumed all your precious tiles, which I could and certainly would have. By all means enjoy your pitiful victory, but keep in mind you won't be hearing my last.

whew. now that's out. i just wanted it out of my system. i think all this negative energy is breeding on itself and it gave me this goddamn headache and, as i publish this, is now gone

(by all means..how many times did i say that?)

it's crazy being up at this hour. and its even crazier what gets into your head when you're left all alone to think. just think. i haven't allowed myself to entertain this nagging thought that i happen to be entertaining now.

i'm not good at writing feelings and i incessantly avoid writing them here for all the world to see and not care about.

this could be dead on

she said, "no one is alone the way you are alone"
and you held her looser than you would have if you ever could have known
some things tie your life together, slender threads and things to treasure
days like that should last and last and last

but you've already lost
when you only had barely enough of her to
hang on.

finally, something to write about

2008-10-27T06:49:00.000-07:00
i was thinking that this sembreak, i could get my creative juices flowing (friendster horoscope gave me that idea..i should have known it to be all goofus) and write plenty of blog entries, book reviews, you know, the usual deal, but I never knew 3 weeks of R&R could also mean 3 weeks of complete and utter boredom which is downright frustrating and unbecoming for a great mind like this one.hem hem. My brain has been lacking from any form of stimulation and I wonder if it hasn't deteriorated due to lack of use or even, abuse, for that matter, i tell you, any of the two would have been welcome. I had nothing to read, i realized that I finished reading all the books i borrowed in the thick of the exams, that left me with nothing for the semestral break. a whole stretch of time that could have been wisely spent leisure reading not opening the refrigerator every 5 seconds hoping something would pop up eventually, and fighting a losing battle against a stubborn headache you get from too much sleep knowing you are wholeheartedly supporting the cause. all the books at home I've already read like a gazillion times, even an Archie would have made my day, but not even that..gosh, you feelin' me? on top of all that, my TV broke down. I couldn't even have my television fix! my precious quality time glued to the tube was all wasted. where was civilization when I needed it? not in UPmin surely.

What the hell was I supposed to do?

blogging.

so I'm gonna write about..

screaming infidelities

2008-10-22T21:41:00.000-07:00
I'm missing your bed, I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak
And this bottle of beast is taking me home.

I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets
You're not alone and you're not discreet.
You make sure I know who's taking you home.

I'm reading your note over again,
There's not a word that I comprehend,
Except when you signed it:
"I'll love you always and forever"

As for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs,
And sit alone and wonder, how you're making out.
And as for me I wish that I was anywhere, with anyone, making out.

I'm missing your laugh,
How did it break?
And when did your eyes
Begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as you're pretending

I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets
I am alone in my defeat
I wish I knew you were safely at home

I'm missing your bed, I never sleep.
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak.
And this bottle of beast is taking me home.

Well as for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs,
And sit alone and wonder...
How you're making out.
And as for me I wish that I was anywhere, with anyone...
Making out

Your hair it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities and taking its wear.
Your hair it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities and taking its wear.
Your hair it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities and taking its wear.
Your hair it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities and taking its wear

just symptoms of LSS..really

18 years worth of reflections

2008-10-17T06:14:00.000-07:00
This already sounds too much like a high school paper so I'll try to spare you from all the crap, but then I still have to tell you my story, so here goes nothing..

I was born 11:58 pm on October 18, 1990.

I had a major operation at 9 months and a minor operation when I was 3. You can say that I'm a really lucky kid to survive all that. But I think, everyone's lucky to have me.

I kept most to myself when I was a kid, I loved puzzles and books.

My whole childhood was all smiles, I'm proud to say I had a happy childhood, happily boring that is to be told here, so I'm just breezing through.

I went to Matina Preschool and Values School for my primary education both schools we partly owned so I went there for free. I was a natural in school, I made everything look easy and boring. I graduated class valedictorian mostly because there were only 10 of us who graduated.

High school, I was in for a rude awakening. They said it was a jungle out there, and I got my jungle all right! And I sure made it into more of a jungle than it was supposed to be.

First year was a breeze. I never knew I was so good at socializing. I was popular, smart, everyone loved me, at least in my section. That was all that mattered in a school of 8000. You had all the social cliques right there in a class of 50 people. And in our case, we were much better off, being in the pilot section in our batch, everyone looked up to us.

The years to follow, I started taking crap from people and then I decided to fade into the murky background of my high school canvass. I gave up my stint in the student government, the science club, I like hell didn't care what I got for grades. That was when I got to know the greatest people I have ever met.

These were the best years, for the first time I could say that I was happy. I found my niche right there in a group so unlikely of me to be found in. We goofed around and slacked off on all our projects. My crowd entered a room and we owned it. We laughed our heads off, sing nonsensical songs with our own made up lyrics and exuded an aura of carefreeness.. if there never was such a word, then it would have been invented to describe us.We were accused of plenty of things, like being shallow and downright mean. But what was that I said again? Oh yeah. We really didn't care.

I had pretty good vantage from where I was at that point. I saw things for what they truly were, thanks to a good friend and mentor. I learned to spit at the face of convention, wave my middle finger and swear. And I found that this wasn't such a bad thing to do, given what we had, we were doing everyone a favor, getting them to snap out of all the prosthetic and the fake.

I got to do plenty of things that I loved to do, like singing. Ever since I can remember, I always got lost in the music. So I was glad that I got formal music education by singing in a choir. I looked up to our conductor, he taught me plenty of valuable lessons. He once told me to never stop singing because it's one of the things that you will continue doing in heaven. I never was one for talking about heavenly things but that got me into thinking.

There were times when ambition got in the way of my happiness but I got over that. And it just made me love life more.

Graduation came and some major disappointments. I was surprised at how I beat myself up for not making it to the list, considering what I've been doing, not even divine intervention can save me from with honors hell. I guess I just didn't want to disappoint my parents, but they never were disappointed in me, they knew I was good at what I do and I just ended up disappointing myself. They were always so proud of me and it sucked big time for not having given them even that to be proud of.

College years came and I needed a fresh start, everyone went their separate ways and I was suddenly on my own on this all new venture. I really needed to start from scratch, I didn't know anyone from the program I chose and I certainly didn't have anything to brag about my high school days except that I got 99+ on the NCAE, i guessed that ought to count for something, not everyone is equipped with the whole package up there, but then again, no one really took that exam seriously not even me.I slept through most of it. So, with one hand in my pocket and a scholarship slip on the other (a plus I didn't expect), I enrolled in UP.

I spent most of my first semester wandering around like a zombie, I never really was myself, and I missed everyone like hell. I was wondering where my old self went, the loud, and confident-verging-on-cocky one. I have always been such a klutz but still I was always so sure of myself. I was aware that I've become just an ephemeral presence, present in the closeup but not in the bigger picture.

A few semenders later and I finally warmed up to the idea that I got a bunch of friends here that do get me. And they just might be the best bloc in the world, might even be the best batch in the world that could have ever happened to me. And given that, I'm really thankful.

And that's what I've been up to the past 18 years, in general that is. I've had plenty of highs, done plenty of things you're not supposed to be proud of, but this is how I wanted everything to happen, letting the chips fall where they may, trying everything, just that for the most part, I am happy. If I hadn't known better, I would have made plenty of deletions, so easy like I did with parts of my writing today, but now I understand that with every moment gone, another chapter of my life has been published, and in reality, with no further editions.

"we watch the season pull up its own stakes and catch the last weekend of the last week. before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced, another sun soaked season fades away."

Another semester has come and gone, for some of us, though, not including me, not just yet. I had my fair share of highs and disappointments. I'm relieved that it's almost over but somehow it makes me feel kind of sad for some reason and look back at how fast everything's gone. We had fun did we guys? haha..

"invitation only, grant farewells, crush the best one, of the best ones, clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight"

It's really too early too go all cheesy but bear with me because words and lyrics just happen to keep gushing out of my mind right now and I need to get it out before I start my relentless cramming for tomorrow's exam.

"and from the ballroom floor we are in celebration, one good stretch before our hibernation. Our dreams assured and we all, will sleep well.."

Tomorrow. though in our case it isn't a ballroom but an exam room, bluebooks in hand, one more examination marathon stretch, but after tomorrow, all will be over. But I'm sincerely hoping that we'd have reason to celebrate after this.

And of course..sleep well..sleep well

"I watch you spin around in the highest heels. You are the best one, of the best ones. We all look like we feel.."

Come on hold my hand,
I wanna contact the living.
Not sure I understand,
This role I’ve been given.

I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans,
My head speaks a language, I don’t understand.

I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in.
’cause I got too much life,
Running through my veins, going to waste.

I don’t wanna die,
But I ain’t keen on living either.
Before I fall in love,
I’m preparing to leave her.
I scare myself to death,
That’s why I keep on running.
Before I’ve arrived, I can see myself coming.

I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in.
’cause I got too much life,
Running through my veins, going to waste.

And I need to feel, real love
And a life ever after.
I cannot get enough.

I just wanna feel real love,
In a life ever after
There’s a hole in my soul,
You can see it in my face, it’s a real big place.

Come and hold my hand,
I wanna contact the living,
Not sure I understand,
This role I’ve been given

Not sure I understand.

do walruses even walk? --academic rantings

2008-09-27T00:56:00.000-07:00
suppose that you crack my head open right now, all you'd get is chicken noodle soup.. seriously..well, at least you'd have dinner.

ugh..repulsive and horrifying notion.

anyway..i was relieved when the cheerdance was over, not that I regretted singing up for it, in fact I was in it for the glory baby and I got my greedy share (evil laugh here), but it was like out of the frying pan and into the fire, because we were immediately bombarded by an endless stream of exams that just kept coming and coming, it's a huge surprise I'm alive to tell you the story..

no. not really.

I'm already at an all-time high for coming up for exams and not even aware that there was to be an exam in the first place (?). Like for instance in PE, I was so proud that at least I had one answer. We were given pictures of aerobic exercises and I was fairly confident at answering one item, I called it the walrus when it turned out to be the seal walk. I don't know about the authority at naming aerobic exercises, but I think, seals and walruses walk the same way. And correct me if I'm wrong, you don't even call that walking right? Well tough luck at guessing but I had a backup, I called it the pushcart, guess what they call it? the human wheelbarrow! like it's the most obvious thing in the world!

way to go dude.

and there was MIKROS.. this kept us preoccupied for a while, as if we didn't have enough to keep us busy. But I had fun with this one. I'm happy Ma'am Marie made us do it. I'm so proud of us all! XD

and then comes hellweek

The last remaining days of the sem and the torture level must be maintained, if not raised. and you can't mess with that. It's a thing called tradition.

I'll be glad when all this is over but for the meantime I better do myself a favor and start reading up if I plan on passing organic chem.

or not.

jesus of suburbia

2008-09-19T13:43:00.000-07:00
I'm the son of rage and love
the Jesus of Suburbia
The bible of none of the above
on a steady diet of
soda pop and Ritalin
No one ever died for my sins in hell
as far as I can tell
at least the ones that I got away with

And there's nothing wrong with me
this is how I'm supposed to be
In a land of make believe
that don't believe in me

Get my television fix
Sitting on my crucifix
the living room in my private womb
while the Moms and Brats are away
To fall in love and fall in debt
to alcohol and cigarettes
and Mary Jane
to keep me insane
doing someone else's cocaine

And there's nothing wrong with me
this is how I'm supposed to be
In a land of make believe
that don't believe in me

At the center of the earth
In the parking lot
Of the 7-11 were I was taught
The motto was just a lie

It says home is where your heart is
but what a shame
cause everyone's heart
doesn't beat the same
It's beating out of time

City of the dead
at the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
City of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to care

I read the graffiti
In the bathroom stall
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall
And so it seemed to confess

It didn't say much
But it only confirmed that
the center of the earth
Is the end of the world
And I could really care less

City of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
City of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to care

I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't care

I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't care

I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't care

I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't care

I don't care

Everyone is so full of shit
Born and raised by hypocrites
Hearts recycled but never saved
From the cradle to the grave
We are the kids of war and peace
From Anaheim to the Middle East
We are the stories and disciples of
The Jesus of suburbia

Land of make believe
And it don't believe in me
Land of make believe
And I don't believe
And I don't care!

I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care

Dearly beloved are you listening?
I can't remember a word that you were saying
Are we demented or am I disturbed?
The space that's in between insane and insecure

Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed?
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse

To live, and not to breathe
Is to die, in tragedy
To run, to run away
To find, what you believe

And I leave behind
This hurricane of fucking lies
I lost my faith to this
This town that don't exist
So I run, I run away
To the lights of masochists

And I, leave behind
This hurricane of fucking lies
And I, walked this line
A million and one fucking times
But not this time

I don't feel any shame
I won't apologize
When there ain't nowhere you can go
Running away from pain
When you've been victimized
Tales from another broken home

You're leaving
You're leaving
You're leaving
Ah, you're leaving home.

i dunno, i just thought of it and then I wrote it down

2008-09-13T06:02:00.000-07:00
i remember watching wizards of waverly place, the episode where Selena Gomez went to the CRazy ten minute sale, and then there was this signature mean girl with her two signature dumb blonde sidekicks (i don't remember if they were even blonde). And then one of the dumb sidekicks suddenly let go of a snappy comeback, and then the other one said "wow! good one!" and then she replied "i dunno, I just thought of it and then I said it!" and she was so proud!LOL

hence the title..because i'm just gonna rant until all you people rot in hell XD

I don't know about dumb blondes, but them being signature characters in teen movies is what makes these movies so much fun!haha I suddenly miss watching american teenage subculture type of movies which they don't make very often nowadays..tsk tsk the 90's was a good era..

since you got me started, now I'm gonna talk about pop culture, a classmate of mine had a report on POP culture and I was surprised at how much I still know from all the rubbish I've picked up over the last few years despite my permanent exile to UPminland. I guess I'm what you call a pop culture slave. I guess we all are and that includes you.

I went to SM this morning with some friends. There was this book that everyone has been dying to read. It was a book released in 2005, but suddenly exploded into an overnight success, maybe due to (i am just assuming) it having its film adaptation. When we got to NBS, we found out that they only sold hardbound copies. It was a bit too expensive for some book that might probably disappoint you. But my friend still bought one (and I'm gonna be the first to borrow..hehe). We saw one friend from school and she bought two. The books were literally flying off the shelves. I even saw some people carrying them around as they strolled through the mall. Everyone was dying to get into the craze.

My example might not be entirely accurate but it's screaming pop culture all over the place! you got to admit it. We are all slaves to pop culture. c'mon, who doesn't love MTV? I admit MTV has influenced me a lot. I can even recall some MTV ads and think of them as happy childhood memories!haha i kid! i kid!

Gosh, I suddenly miss having MTV..

Popular Culture is the culture defined by what is deemed to be "popular" (what a whimsical play of words ;)) and followed by a common multitude. and it's not a bad thing to wear those watermelony outfits with your overly colored skinny jeans, because pop culture is what defines some of us as a generation.

However, it's also great to be unique.although there are only too few of us..haha I am only a sponge to information such as pop culture, I don't necessarily engage in such queer, unsettling behavior..haha Bah! excuses!

anyway, I was supposed to write a shallow, no-brainer article, but I guess this comes naturally..

---gosh, it's so hard pretending to be deep..hehe

I melt with you

a poem

2008-08-28T07:56:00.000-07:00
I fear that i will always be
a lonely number like root three
a three is all that's good and right,
why must my three keep out of sight
beneath a vicious square root sign?
I wish instead i were a nine,
for nine could thwart this evil trick
with just some quick arithmetic.
I know I'll never see the sun
as one point seven three two one.
such is my reality, a sad irrationality
when hark! what is this I see?
another square root of a three has quietly come waltzing by.
together now we multiply and form a number we prefer,
rejoicing as an integer.
we break free from our mortal bonds,
and with a wave of magic wands,
our square root signs become unglued,
and love for me has been renewed.

--Kumar (Kal Penn)

XD this is the movie I stayed up watching (alone) during our sleepover at Kanluran for the cheerdance. it's really funny, but I actually prefer white castle (the prequel) which is much more socially irrelevant which makes it all the funnier. Although.. the poem is an interesting touch, very cute, very NICE! haha XD

a day in the life

2008-08-24T16:51:00.000-07:00
Woke up, got out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, i noticed i was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke and i went into a dream
Ah..

I can't believe I put myself in this shitty predicament that is this week. What the hell was I thinking when I signed up for the cheerdance? I really don't know what got into me. Now I'm running late for practice. No more time for whining. Gotta go and practice my eggroll.. XD

strawberry fields forever

2008-08-24T06:06:00.000-07:00
Let me take you down
cause I'm going to strawberry fields
nothing is real
and nothing to get hung about
strawberry fields forever

Living is easy with eyes closed
misunderstanding all you see
it's getting hard to be someone
but it all works out
it doesn't matter much to me

No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low
that is you can't, you know, tune in
but it's all right
that is I think it's not too bad

Always know, sometimes, think it's me
but you know I know when it's a dream
I think, I know, I mean, Ah yes!
but it's all wrong
that is I think I disagree

Let me take you down
cause I'm going to strawberry fields
nothing is real
and nothing to get hung about
strawberry fields forever..

what happens when you get tagged?!

2008-08-16T04:35:00.000-07:00

each blogger must post these rules first.
each blogger starts with six random facts/habits about themselves.
bloggers who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their six things and post these rules.
at the end of your blog, you need to choose six people to get tagged and list their names.
don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
SINGING BEE CHAMPION. i have this weird habit for memorizing song lyrics after hearing it for maybe twice, especially those songs that i happen to like immediately and songs that I don't even like i just randomly blurt out singing even though i don't really want to, i don't know, i just subconsciously catch on the words and the tune. so that's what they call me ;) hehe may kasamang kindat kasi char lang yon, pero hindi nga ;P
BEATLE BUGGED. i'm currently listening to the beatles. i'm going through this phase that i am totally addicted to the beatles. i admit i'm an amateur when it comes to the beatles, but someone in UP sang this song when I first came in, it was Across the Universe, I searched for the lyrics, then I stumbled upon a few other songs, and then the new season of American Idol came and I was hooked.
HAIL MANDY MOORE. I have this secret thing for mandy moore right now.shhhh..hindi na siya secret. i re watched a walk to remember this summer and since then i've kept her in high esteem. Shit! she's just so Goddamn immaculate.
I go gooey over romantic movies. I don't like chick flicks so I don't watch them but when I do end up watching them, I go all, I don't know, gooey? don't be too hard on me. ;)
I did something really bad back in high school. I'm not proud of it, though I don't think I would (or could) have changed it. I wouldn't care to elaborate 'coz I'm pretty sure some of you know the details. ;)

You're so vain, you probably think this blog post is about you

2008-08-04T01:20:00.000-07:00
Be warned. I can very much talk shit behind anybody's back, but it's all the more rewarding if i do it up front, which I am and most certainly capable of.

I can do it with much prudence, diplomacy and discretion that you wouldn't know what's coming to you.

I admit I talk plenty of dung but no other dunghead can feed off my crap.

If you are indeed vain to think that this blog post is about you then you are absolutely correct.

I can very well let this slide. but I daresay Nemo me impune la cessit

NO ONE ATTACKS ME WITH IMPUNITY

Don't say I didn't warn you ;)

Of football, ice cream, and lactic acid formation

2008-08-01T21:25:00.000-07:00
or as Joie would put it, lactic acid fermentation..hehe well, for the entire week, i couldn't wait to go home..so I was practically bursting with joy at the end of our last period.Yes, i get homesick, a lot..beats me. Anyway, just when we were about to finally go home, we were challenged to a game of soccer, so, we obliged, the rest was a blur. in a nutshell, what started out as a game of boys vs. girls ended up as the original group of boys and anyone who joined in after that, with plenty of splits, slides, spills even cases of confused goalposts (oh, it was only me). We had fun, even though half the time we couldn't see anything. it was amazing we could still recognize each other. The game ended in a tie. I scored one and saved one (i had to split for this one, i send all my regards to the mud), but the rest of my attempts were all a far cry from the goal..XD We only had to stop because i guess it was too dark and because a tie was reached.
after that, Kyle treated us to a tub of ice cream that we devoured with a set of plastic spoons like a pack of starve-driven wolves in a bench facing the mintal highway. There were only 6 of us, the others had to attend cheerdance practice (hehe). We hung out for a while..eating chips and drinking canned softdrinks.. it was fun staring at the passing trucks and jeepneys and talking the time away.
now, i'm suffering from cramps and aches covering my entire body.due to lactic acid formation, according to our highly enthusiastic PE teacher (ma'am chorva) or fermentation according to Joie (hehe,peace out! XD). Mind you, we should have followed the former's advice for warming up stretching before any workout, but no doubt, i'm up for another round of football! ;)

emotional fuckwittage

2008-07-27T01:00:00.000-07:00
the heavens finally conspired against my lazy muses to inspire me to get my little monkey butt off the couch and start a blog..haha I know..thank you very much.. XD

Having nothing else to do, since I left my chemistry textbooks at the dorm (not that I would have opened them more than a few pages), I already exhausted the list of all possible things I could do to amuse myself like reading Love in the time of Cholera (which i just finished), watching a downloaded movie (not very rewarding) and opening the refrigerator (every 30 seconds). So, I decided, against my better judgement, as the last possible resort, to do what I'm doing right now. Now, I'm gonna be one of those suckers, who i used to pity, who can't wait until the end of the day to post their petty little misadventures and are all too proud of themselves after having done what they itched to do the entire day. Ever heard of blog slaves? NO?!

well good. cause i just made that up

only KIDDING, you guys..

I'm more than happy to deliver my thoughts in British accent.
I'm hoping you have bloody time to spare.

Great. Now i've made myself really really welcome.
