rainy sunday afternoon

Some random thoughts:

• I so miss this blog.
• Gearing towards the last day of my glorious four-day-vacation, and it feels it's not enough.
• I am craving for Krispy Kreme doughnuts. And some hot chocolate drink.
  
• I miss my blog.
• I am almost done with my first "projekt".
  
• Outside, it's gloomy, raining, and the thunder and lightning makes me want to crawl under my pillows and bedsheets. Sarap matulog!
  
• Looking forward to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen!
• Thinking of getting a new haircut this week.
  
• Wait! Where the hell is Sid?!
• Have I mentioned how I miss this blog???

snow on the sahara

I was an imploding garden sprinkler within his radius. My word bank seemed almost at bankruptcy. My brain cells in silent chaos. I have never seen him look with so much radiance. And his magnet eyes, God knew how one little red paperclip I was.

I guess I missed him like how much joy the plants feel on months of summer with no rain. Maybe, I'm not making any sense, but I had been miles worse than this before. I couldn't allow myself to risk falling though both my feet are less than an inch closer to the cliff. I do but I can't. And everything and everyone fades to a blur, just because there was only two and a half feet distance in between. I took my drugs and five cups of coffee. Anything to keep my head from completely withdrawing from reality, but it only served a quarter of its purpose. I figured I needed something stronger only because I was leaping towards my weakest.

He seemed to be a right pick, but still inappropriate. One and one does not always make two. And then, when he's way away, he doesn't seem so right at all. We're two colors from the same spectrum. And though at times it may appear as a good combination, at most, it would lack a certain amount of vibrance. We're both too much enjoying the solitary state of our youth.

I walk the face of this Earth where feminism rules exist. Or maybe, it has been an attempt of taking a lesser evil of selfishness. I simply refuse the urge of sitting on tables marked 'Reserved' no matter how fantastic the spot it occupies. Especially seats "reserved" by people you know. Most importantly seats "reserved" by people I had some form of "bond" with, once upon a time. A seat smeared with her juice. A joystick her molecules onced toyed. And I have a passive pussy, thankyouverymuch. You simply don't mess with vultures hovering on their prey.


...you are lost out in the desert...
but to stand with you in the ring of fire
I'll forget the days gone by
I'll protect your body and guard your soul
from mirages in your sight...
...and if we burn away
I'll pray the skies above
for snow to fall on the Sahara...

of sweet dreams and alarm clocks

It seems marriage has been the talk of the country these days. What with celebrities getting hitched and all. Sen. Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez's pledges of their love on national TV, thanks to Wowowee. And who does not know about Judy Anne and Ryan Agoncillo's secret wedding? Well, I have seen how their lives and careers blossomed during the past years that they're together. I mean, come on, Judy Anne has never looked her best, more and more advertisers are taking notice. And Ryan? Well, I admit to having a "crush" on him back in highschool, when I first saw him on his "Magpakatotoo ka!" Sprite commercial and reading his articles and interviews on teen magazines I used to collect. Again, I was on my early teenage years, so don't go asking me why I collect teen magazines, mmmkay? Anyway, I watched their "Unchanging Love" wedding special aired last week. And I was like, "awww, they both looked so happy and so in love, awww." In all honesty, with all my cynicism in this world, their wedding was a single-lighted piece of candle in a village having an outage, that there is still a smidgen of hope for the modern human race. But then, after the hoopla's faded, after the wedding's done, comes the bigger story: Marriage. They say every girl dreams of becoming a bride. Well, partly true. Who would refuse a gown made by Vivienne Westwood or Vera Wang? A sunrise or sunset wedding in a church, garden, or beach. Splendid as it is to dream of a wedding, but the thought of marriage wakes me up to reality. It's less pretty than most young people think. It becomes a bigger responsibility, a life-long commitment. Oooh, scary! And a divorcée doesn't look nice on a résumé, does it? And sharing a bed with someone each night of my entire life? Well, at least hardly anyone will accuse you of having a scandal if your sex marathon video tape happened to leak in pirated DVD haven called Quiapo.

Oh, well, guess it comes with age. I'm only 23 and not even half-a-hurry to find a groom in a population where there's a slimmer-than-anorexic chance of finding a single and undoubtedly straight male of my age to about five years my senior.

The marry month of June is about to begin in less than two weeks. And so, I thought of sharing this highly motivational email I received about two years ago. Read on!



LOVE vs. MARRIAGE

1. Marriage is not a word. It's a sentence (a life sentence).
2. Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore marriage is an institution for the blind.
3. Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his bachelors Degree and the woman gets her masters.
4. Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring and suffering.
5. Married life is full of excitement and frustration: In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year,the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the NEIGHBOR listens.
6. Getting married is very much like going to a restaurant with friends. You order what you want, and when you see what the other person has, you wish you had ordered that instead.
7. There was this man who muttered a few words in the church and found himself married. A year later he muttered something in his sleep and found himself divorced.
8. A happy marriage is a matter of giving and taking; the husband gives and the wife takes.
9. Son: How much does it cost to get married, Dad? Father: I don't know son, I'm still paying for it.
10. Son: Is it true Dad? I heard that in ancient China, a man doesn't know his wife until he marries her. Father: That happens everywhere, son, EVERYWHERE!
11. Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock.
12. They say that when a man holds a woman's hand before marriage,it is love; after marriage it is self-defense.
13. When a newly married man looks happy, we know why. But when a 10-year married man looks happy, we wonder why.
14. There was this lover who said that he would go through hell for her.They got married, and now he is going through HELL.
15. Confucius says: man who sinks into woman's arm soon have arms in woman's sink.
16. When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.
17. Eighty percent of married man cheat in America, the rest cheat in Europe.
18. After marriage, husband and wife become two sides of a coin. They just can't face each other, but still they stay together.
19. Marriage is a man and a woman become one. The trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
20. Before marriage, a man yearns for the woman he loves. After the marriage the "Y" becomes silent.
21. I married Miss right, I just didn't know her first name was Always.
22. It's not true that married men live longer than single men, it only seems longer.
23. Losing a wife can be hard. In my case, it was almost impossible.
24. A man was complaining to a friend: I HAD IT ALL - MONEY, A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE, THE LOVE OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, THEN POW! IT WAS ALL GONE. WHAT HAPPENED, asked his friend. He says - MY WIFE FOUND OUT.
25. WIFE: Let's go out and have some fun tonight. HUSBAND: OK, but if you get home before I do, leave the hallway lighs on.
26. At a cocktail party, one woman said to another: AREN'T YOU WEARING YOUR RING ON THE WRONG FINGER? The other replied, YES, I, AM. I MARRIED THE WRONG MAN.
27. Man is incomplete until he gets married; then he is finished.
28. It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up with the same boss.
29. A man inserted an ad in the paper - WIFE WANTED. The next day he received a hundred letters and they all said the same thing - YOU CAN HAVE MINE.
30. When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing - either the car is new or the wife is.


Let me now hear you say, "awww."

a movie script ending

Three times I caught your glance. Three times I looked down. And in each split second, when the depth of your eyes magnetized mine, a surge shot right underneath my skin. I could not risk being translucent. My eyes would have given away my disappointment.

I was a walking clueless for a week. Clueless of what happened hours after you left me in the middle of the street. The last time I thought I would see much of you would wound up being the episode triggering the premature end of this little creep show.

We both know she likes you. She's a vulture and you're her prey. And you willed yourself to become her late night dinner, taking her for your midnight snack. Was it all about sex? Lust? Could you have gone a longer way had she not been too exhausted that day? A meaningless sex with my ex-friend? A ploy to put up a wall in our middle?

And yet another mistake for overrating your quality. I just thought you'd know better.

It's a nice feeling you get when, finally, you can recognize how completely dried up all your attraction has been for someone not worth even just a milligram of your attention. I can now trash and laugh it all out after a struggle of many, many months. And the last strongest pill that cured me out of that nonsense was you. But then, I realized, though I was out with the old, I am still out with the new. Everyone knows how much she likes you. Nobody knows she likes you more than I do. But I can't turn my head around thinking past what happened that night. When you fucked the same girl your dastard friend almost boned a couple of weeks before he sealed his ring. The same dastard I was more than relieved and not a hair strand sorry to have been cashed.

I will miss you, have been, actually. Crappy, I know. But history repeats for those who refuse to recognize it. This is the same tint that messed up our bond. Nobody wants to get treated as a competition when you're just trying to be a friend.

"Passing through unconscious states
When I awoke, I was on the highway..."

Too many coils, too much twisted tale, too much for me to bear. And now that this little creep show has been increasingly fucking fantastic, I hail a taxi cab and go ride home.

"With your hands on my shoulders
A meaningless act
A movie script ending..."

MTV EXIT

from www.mtvexit.org

MTV EXIT is a campaign about freedom - about our rights as human beings to choose where we live, where we work, who our friends are, and who we love. Most of us take these freedoms for granted, but hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world have had these basic human rights taken away. They are victims of trafficking - modern-day slaves - and criminals have forced, defrauded, or coerced them into various forms of labor, or prostitution.

The UN International Labor Organization estimates that worldwide about 2.5 million people are victims of trafficking.

Over half of these people are in Asia and the Pacific.

Criminals earn an estimated US$10 billion every year through buying and selling human beings.

MTV EXIT aims to increase awareness and prevention of human trafficking through television programs, online content, live events, and partnerships with anti-trafficking organizations.

saturday morning

Saturday morning. I love Saturday mornings. I was free at 6.30. Took a cab and headed for the lush and pretty Bonifacio HIgh Street. One of my most favorite spots. Ray of early morning sunlight glowing on a calm and peaceful beauty. Most of the few people I saw were health-conscious buffs. I was a wierdo walking on my Smurf shirt, jeans, sneaks and sling bag carrying a black toy camera...Holga. My Holga. I sooooo missed her after about two months of constant stay in the darkness of my locked closet.




A rusty newbie. I was suddenly filled with my insecurity. Looking around finding a "good" shot. The right angle. Enough lighting. Ugh! It got somehow irritating, and a bit frustrating. Then I realized, hey, the whole purpose of Lomography is spontaneity and unpredictability, the very reason I fell in love with it. "Don't Think. Just Shoot."

THE 10 GOLDEN RULES
by Lomographic Society International

RULE: 01: "take your camera everywhere you go"
RULE: 02: "use it any time - day and night"
RULE: 03: "lomogaphy is not an interference in your life, but part of it"
RULE: 04: "try the shot from the hip"
RULE: 05: "approach the objects of your lomographic desire as close as possible"
RULE: 06: "don't think" (William Firebrace)
RULE: 07: "be fast"
RULE: 08: "you don't have to know beforehand what you captured on film"
RULE: 09: "afterwards either"
RULE: 10: "don't worry about any rules"


So there, I used up about two rolls of films. And my last shot, my little piece of heaven: Krispy Kreme!!!

Here's some of my previous shots taken with my Holga.


























Saturday morning
And who's gonna play with me
Six in the morning baby
I got a long long day ahead of me

The parents are sleeping soundly
The neighbors are dead as wood
I'm getting up and coming over
We gotta rock the neighborhood

Nothing's ever gonna happen 'round here
If we don't make it happen
Sleep away the day if you want to
But i got something that i gotta do

It's saturday morning
And this ain't the place for me
I'm giving you warning baby
We got a whole big fat world to see

Nothing's ever gonna happen 'round here
If we don't make it happen
Sleep away the day if you want to
But i got something that i gotta do

It's saturday morning
And who's gonna play with me
Six in the morning baby
I got a long long day ahead of me

loathing vampire

So, it's official. Guess there's nothing else for me to do but to raise both my hands up and just take all this shit, exactly what I have been doing for the past eight long months. After half a year of living in a normalcy time zone, I will be back to living the loathsome vampire lifestyle. A major change when your body has grown used to daytime. Well, I know it comes with this kind of work I happen to be half-hearted into. I can't always have the best shift, but always a receptacle of shit on a seemingly daily basis. What I find infuriating now was how I was led to believe one thing, then they turn around in a snap of their fucktard minds and shove my hopes down the drain. Walking on anything but solid ground. A pissed off guinea pig trapped in a decaying fishbowl.

Goodbye to my night life...but only for just a while...

aftergloom

It has been quite a while since I last got drunk. Yesterday, I went a little over my threshold, in one of those otiose sessions I found myself frequenting for the past few weeks. Wasting about 5 solid hours. The road and ride going home was a fog, and an adventure. I notice things I usually pay hardly a smidgen of attention to. Functioning out of instinct and habit. As I sat in front of the television, I had a sense of wonder how the hell I managed to come home unscathed, though I know I was only half-close to being twisted. I was, once again, levitated. And it was a nice feeling you get if the alcohol was still running in your head. But once the alcohol goes down and spreads all over my body, I begin to feel a whole string of sick and ugly feeling. And that's the demon aftergloom I forgot to initially consider. My body felt about to split into three, taking out my mid-part so I won't feel its horrible pain. My guts wanted to throw itself up, but nothing, even just a drop, could come out. My head, a crazy carnival. A turbulent sleepless night. And I lay no blame for allowing myself to be this imbecile. I just wanted to be with the person who refreshed my perspective and made the past few weeks a breezy state. It was because of him that brought me out of my black black heart. And though he's like water out of the faucet I try to catch with my palms open, I still am grateful for knowing this one guy who's way better than the one he preceded. He was an adorable sight out of my window. I can only stare in awe, but could not let it in for a handful of reasons. And yesterday, I stayed because of him. Yesterday, I stayed so I could be beside him for what could be the last time.

Knock Out!

And so, another legendary fight from The Legend. The Philippines "Pambansang Kamao" Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, knocked down Manchester UK's Ricky "Hitman" Hatton thrice: twice during the first round, and the third one seconds before the end of second round. The Ring's #1 pound for pound fighter in the world, is now being celebrated as "the greatest boxer of all time". And he so deserves it. No one can unite the entire Filipino nation anywhere in the world like Manny does. That alone makes him a winner.

Mabuhay ka, Manny! Mabuhay ka, Coach Freddie Roach! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! \m/
