random insights

been wonderin' and thinkin' a lot of weird stuffs...

- If i were to drink an expired poison, will it still kill me?

-Q: You know why "monthsaries" suddenly became popular these days?
A: Coz' relationships these days barely last for more than a year. (next thing you know, ther'll be weeksaries and daysaries)

- I just discovered that a "draft beer" is "beer dispensed in a keg or a cask". sorry im not a beer person kasi eh.

- Try this: stand with your one foot only... try not to fall for 10 seconds... easy right?
now try doing this with closed eyes... you'll lose your balance in no time...
why is that?
our vision also helps us to balance our own body weight as we stand. cool noh?

- I always think that Chicago and Las Vegas are states... well they aren't... Chicago is in Illinois, Las Vegas is in Nevada. stupid!

- Peter Jackson is remaking the movie KING KONG, while STEVEN SPIELBERG is rumored working with TRANSFORMERS the movie. (i think size is all that matters now)

- Deep sea fishes have big popped-out eyes. its because of the high pressure of water.

- How can fortune tellers tell the lucky numbers in LOTTO if they themselves can't afford to win it.

- If you have mosquitoes flying in your car. and you're driving very very fast. does that mean mosquitoes can fly just as fast as the speed of your car?

- Did you know that dimples, are defects on the face? (or maybe this is just sour-graping? haha)

kaloka mga thoughts ko! i dunno, maybe my mind is always wandering in so many dimensions.

fektyurs

just borrowed the bluetooth device from our shop... have to take advantage and upload the pics from my cell.

our csb retreat

hope the bridge collapses...

the blazers...kuno

the bus ride

peeing on the bus

smile!! like we're holy.

it's finally over. the retreat i'm dreading and longing at the same time has finally ended. it was fun and exciting. (exciting in a sense na nagtatago ako sa facilitators para maka cross-over ng cottages.) well, the good part of the whole experience was that the activities we did, were all heart felt... i was crying for the first time, and i had the chance to get even closer to my other classmates, such as mich and judith etc. esp. dun sa exchanging of candles part... the weather was chilling up there in tagaytay, and grasping the candles helped me warm up a bit..hehe

anyway, the Charoodles game my friend Bie brought was fun too... (bie dalhin mo yan sa next outing ha!?) and also the exchanging of letters. I never had the chance to receive so much letters of sincerity and with emotional messages in it on my highschool retreats... we did it in don bosco twice...but what do you expect from guys?? i also learned how to play pusoy, thanks to our retreat mate Jam. she reminds me of shaina.

the bus ride home was fun too, cookie and i sang till we drop with krisna's guitar. so we end up sleeping on each others' shoulders. we arrive at csb in time with the schedule which is 1:30. we head to psid to do some consultation regarding the exhibit... and because of the stress and anxiety the heavy traffic caused us, we were back to our original attitude. grumpy, short-tempered, lazy and restless. talk about "repenting."

head's too big for the door

i'll be smiling while sleeping tonight. not because i'm a crazy loner, but because im just very proud of the annual design layouts i presented to the faculty courtesy call a while ago. it doesn't happen everyday that the PSID faculty would praise and applaud your work. dabalah?! it's so head-swelling, and "put yourself on a pedestal" kinda thing.. and im just too proud right now. the committee i'm in, and my friends around me. it's just working out real good. Go Annual Com! the richest committee so far! hahaha! but, like what sir jie said, we have to live up for what we presented... so... work is not done yet. it's just getting started. don't be too cocky unless we've come to that very last stage of accomplishing everything. but for the mean time, i'm really inspired to do more layout work. (oh no, other committees....dont push it, though!)

having a break

here i am, sittin' all day, slaving in front of my computer, doin' layout stuffs. and now i'm taking a break from it. unfortunately the break still involves my computer, and that's updating my blog. i guess i'm spending too much time with this computer, i'm beginning to miss the real me. the dancing, sleeping, eating, couch-potato me. but... work is work...and it has to be done. i'm grateful however, because at last, that wretched hotel plates are over. i think I lost a couple of pounds during that despicable span of time. but results are very rewarding, i might say. it wasn't perfect, but it wasn't that bad either. the jury were kinda harsh, but we were just very numb. many thanks to my friends, who, through the whole time of hard labor, took it easy, and made it light and breezy. sounds ironic? but yes it was. i guess the key to a stress-free and tension-free work are the few intermission laughters here and there. just enjoy what you're doing, and dodge away from anything that pisses you off. stuff your shirt with a towel, and pretend like a dancing pregnant britney.... right guys? hehe*wink*

tryin' to be nonchalant about it

“but in reality I’m slowly losing my mind
underneath the guise of smile
gradually I’m dying inside.
friends ask me how I feel
and I lie convincingly
cause I don’t want to reveal
the fact that I’m suffering.
so I wear my disguise
till I go home at night
and turn down all the lights
and then I break down and cry…”

--Mariah

getting fishy

we just finished setting up our new aquarium, and I realize putting up a 70-gallon-aquarium is not just regular work…oh no… with a big tank like that, you have to drink a bottle of energy drink to get you powered up initially. We can’t find our garden hose, so we have to carry several pails to get this tank filled up. I guess I just did the best weight-LOSING exercise ever. woohoo! bony physique …here I come!

anyway, the best part was arranging the shells and dried corals that we took from Bonito Island Resort last May. I always wanted a salt-water aquarium, but since it’s beyond our budget, I have to be clever and make ours look like one. madali lang pala..hehe para lang flower arrangement… tall corals at the back, colorful little ones up front. ok naman sya…muka na syang under the sea…hehe!

we only bought 6 fishes (still not proportionate to our humongous tank). I haven’t decided what to name them yet, but I’m thinking; Sushi, Fillet, Sweet & Sour, Maki and Sardine.

coz those are what they’ll be when they die. haha! mmm!

pumapatak nanaman ang ulan

hay! umuulan nanaman. perfect time to eat sopas and drink hot Milo.. and start contemplating...

hmmmm...

from now on, i should change my outlook in life. Be more positive, for worrywarts never win. Half full rather than half empty. Life is great but is disguised by troubles. Appreciate things not because they’re never gone, but because they're always there.

Listen to people, embrace their words and understand them before finding their faults. That's why God gave us to ears and just one mouth... we have to listen twice as much as we speak.

contemplation over! i'll have to finish my milo and eat my sopas simultaneously, to obtain NOT an upset stomach, but an enjoyable fart fest. Oh diba postivie outlook na!?

laff trip

today’s wake up time? 1pm! that was not sleeping, that was more of a hibernation. Last night was a long night. We went all the way to Laffline comedy bar in quezon ave to just momentarily forget and leave our worries behind, and we did. It was the best comedy bar show I’ve ever been to, toppling all the shows we’ve watched before. The stage was jam-packed with the most talented gay comediennes namely, pretty trizsa, tuko (whom I loved and pitied at the same time), kit-kat, ate gay, nightingale, eric, sami, and the night’s special guest, ethel booba. They all made our night, and we didn’t stop laughing, I think the only relief was when we went to the bathroom to pee our pressed bladders out, and that’s it.

Luckily, there wasn’t a single corny performer that evening. Some went on stage dressed up as Darna, and each would impersonate different kinds of Darna, should it be portrayed by Nora, Zsa Zsa, Jaya, Mystica, and Madam Auring. They also did this bit, wherein Tuko was a remote controlled robot, and stops every time the remote tells him to freeze. No matter how precarious his position was, he’d always manage to stop at the command. One time he was asked to freeze while cart-wheeling, and he did! Imagine how much blood accumulated in his head. The participants from the audience were also great! They would pull up good looking guys and molest them on stage, grabbing their you-know-what and kissing them on you-know-where! Ethel Booba showed up at 12 midnight. She was not that funny as I was expecting her to be, rather, she was very timid and had to be accompanied by other gays who would ask her English questions, and she would reply with complete difficulty. Well how else would she get her screen name?

but it was a really fun night. We hope to go back there and watch them all over again. Our 3 thou bill was worth it. We all rode back home, not wanting to talk because of the exhaustion and tiredness it caused us.

hahaha!

here's a pic of me on a trip with friends to tagaytay...clearly, it was a lively getaway!

Mama Eu Quero

Mama-Mama-Mame eu quero!

these are the...

THINGS I SHOULD DO BEFORE I DIE...
(and i hope its not too soon)

1. set foot on a snow

2. ride a western steam train. (ala Harry Potter) or ride a balloon

3. do an oil painting

4. meet just one hollywood star, or visit just one hollywood set

5. cross country road trip

6. own a saltwater aquarium; fishes and corals (but I heard they're nocturnal, so i might cross this one out)

7. drink water from a real well

8. have sex with an African (this one's a joke! haha!)

the list goes on...i'll update if something new pops out!

bye bye tigger!

i just read the news that Paul Winchell, the voice of Tigger in Winnie The Pooh, died today at the age of 82. sniff. so sad. it would be hard for walt disney to find a replacement. How could a voice, so distinct and original, be replaced by another man's voice? i bet it wouldn't be exactly the same.

it has come to my mind that these talented people are very crucial in making an animation come alive... hmmm... what if the animated series, "The Simpsons" loses the person behind marge's voice, or homer's? who will replace them? its really hard to find another person who can speak exactly like marge. haha!

kill it!

i just got this very adorable shot of poopoo! haaay! sobrang cute talaga!! nakakagigil! the cuteness is killing me. sarap pigain and kagat kagatin!! rrr!! and i know there's a thin line between desperate attraction and murder! watch out rabbit! i'm gonna kill you!!!

Nasaan Ka Maaaan!!

i was so eager to watch this movie for two reasons: one, because the tv teasers looked so original and the story looked so interesting. Two, the hair raising scene of claudine...(well, literally hair raising) and I have to say, after watching it; it gave me more disappointment than contentment.

I mean, the story was obviously another "wannabe hollywood flick with twists and turns in the end" ala sixth sense and the others. Nothing special about it, I really still think filipino directors and writers have to come up with original storyline and plotting.

The cinematography was good, I can forgive that. They used Baguio as the setting, again to copy some "westernized impression" when watching a hollywood scary movie. So expect to see Claudine, jericho and diet, running around pine tree forests with their scarves and knitted coats on. However, the acting skills of the cast were quite convincing. Some extra kudos to Ms. Hilda Koronel for playing the role of a deaf sister. She was fantastic and hilarious at the same time.

Another funny scene was when diether ocampo tumbled down the cliff (supposedly a tragic and fatal scene) but instead, made the audience laugh. Why? the "tumbling down scene" was so long, the cliff was NOT steep at all, (it didn't even look precarious!) that diether's fall (or some stuntman's fall) looked like a playful polar bear rolling itself on a downhill slope. the fall was so unnatural, you can actually detect diether's acting effort in rolling himself to make it look like it was a big fall. It was so hilarious!!

Another disappointment is that the scene of claudines hair being pulled up in the air was cut. But i think the reason behind this, is that it has no relevance whatsoever with the story of the movie.
Also some parts of the movie were so dragging, i even got the chance to text mang fred! haha!

so overall rating? 3 stars!
oh and the rape scene was also compelling!

i wanna get fat!!

i just bought another costly bucket of weight gaining powder, after realizing that I lost a few pounds after I had that dreadful fever accompanied by some violent nose blowing and goo sniffing. Thanks to cookie who persuaded me to go inside that health store after eagerly inquiring about a weight losing green tea. I don't have any money, so I used my credit card (mother forgive me) and gladly purchased the product. I went home, took out the blender, and started mixing the powder with milk like a wicked witch and a couldron. As expected, it tasted terrible, and when I say terrible, I mean "puke your lungs out" terrible! Well, for the sake of getting fat, I'd do everything. Hahaha!

We also went to the pet store to buy a love nest for our lovebirds, and going there convinced me to buy a puppy, but then it began to bother me that as long as Dooling is around, I cant buy a new pet dog. We have so many pets in the house that its starting to look like a house of a discontented old maid.

Idol: Mariah

"she's that singer with a five-octave singing voice" people would understand it as the range of how her singing voice can actually shatter a crystal glass, but that's not always the point. Her voice is considered 5-octave, not only because of the screeching, almost bird-like notes, but also the fact that she can reach very low notes. Not all singers are capable of that, and that's one thing you have to consider before judging her against other singers. She's incomparable.

Her downside? Acting! Mariah should stop impelling herself to films coz she's simply not good. She's dull, she's overreacting, she's irritating in a movie screen! I mean, try to have a sneak on her movie Glitter, and see how everything was so amateur! from the acting to the story itself! ugh! I'm telling you; "Dude Where's My Car" would be a more logical movie to watch.

But I still love her. hehe! Minus the "too much touching her boobs", and "letting her locks fly" videos

poopoo and dooling: the rabbit and the cat
(my rabbit looks like a pig!)

rabbit food crisis!

im really feeling sick today but i still have the strength to frantically look for rabbit pellets for my furry pet. I was really worried because my rabbit haven't eaten for a day since it consumed all the rabbit food I just purchased last week. I went to bioresearch G4 yesterday only to find out that they ran out of their standard rabbit pellets and switched to an unidentifiable japanase brand, i have no choice but to buy it. The pellets look like "snaku", it was green and soft, they smell awful too, and as expected, my rabbit didn't like it, ignored it, and preferred to gnaw the wires in her cage instead! Bye bye 120 pesos for a stupid rabbit food! luckily, my saviour-mother was on her way to quiapo, so i called her up to buy some rabbit food in cartimar.. whew! for a moment there I thought my rabbit would eventually turn anorexic and then die as a rabbit skeleton!
