These Frequent Headaches

May 27, 2012

These headaches were creeping out the shiz out of me. I don’t know why but I am having these frequent headaches without any reason.

At first, I thought it was just because of the scorching summer heat, but now, it even attacked at cool nights. I thought it was also because of my astigmatism and all, so I started wearing my glasses again everything I expose my eyes to the television or to my computer, but, now, even if I’m wearing my glasses, my head still experiences frequent aches.

I’ll be consulting a specialist soon. I’m hoping and praying that it is not something serious. :)

Karen Francisco’s “Naermyth”

May 25, 2012

Actually, I’ve finished reading this book last year. I just took the time today to write something about this book.

It was pretty interesting, special the Filipino folklore spiced up the story. They were in a post-apocalyptic setting where people struggled for survival. They were against tiyanaks, kapres, manananggals, aswangs, and the likes.

I actually liked the plot of the story. It was so relateable because the places and names used in the story were familiar to us. It could trigger a wild imagination from the readers. Plus, the style of the book was somehow in the borderline of being so serious, dark and young adult.

Basta, just read the book and you’ll understand what I am trying to say here. Haha.

Your Most Favorite Commercial

May 25, 2012

Is lying to you.

It creates attitude, beyond its original purpose of letting people know about a product. It’s an agenda, a very deadly discourse, my friend.

It creates famine, inferiority and undernourishment of both the body and the mind. It fools you every time you bite in its games. It generates a reality favoring the world of the producers, but never of the consumer.

It creates a consumer society where people wants are never what their needs and their needs are their wants. It’s a very cruel world. Trust me.

The Pianist

May 25, 2012

Yeah, you know who you are. You awesome pianist who played some of my favorite pieces last night and insisted that it wasn’t you but your music player. 

It was pretty awesome, honestly, last night. You played it well, it kept me silent with words I could not find to describe your flamboyant excellency. Honestly.

So, I did open my tumblr even though I am at the vacation just to tell everyone that there’s this awesome person that the world should know.

I’m sorry pianist. I won’t mention you here, but you know who you are.

The world, like what I said, you must now the pianist person, even though it’s quite ironic that I won’t mention the pianist’s name here. It’s up to the pianist to rock the world and make a name.

Why Are You So Mean To Me? 0_0

May 22, 2012

Jeje peace nalang, people! Oyeah!

First Day of Tranquility

May 24, 2012

Here I am, enjoying the tranquil moment, of solitude, away from the urban jungle singing with melancholy horns and puns. Fine, you can say that I am kind of hoaxing that statement because I am here, in front of the computer, destroying boundaries and distorting distance because of the global space. 

Nevertheless, I’m enjoying the simplicity I am having right now. This is my first day here at the province, but it’s like you’ve been here for a thousand of years because of the hospitality and warmth the people are giving to us.

In here, when you look at the vast horizon, you would see plains, either a forest or a farm, with animals roaming around. It’s a treat for the eyes gone weary of the buildings that are scraping the sky, the dreams and the hopes of the people. In here, when you look up, you would see a collage of stars and promises of the future, like how lovers of ages ago would serenade one another along the river, with the gushing of the water as their ambiance and the cool wind as their orchestra.

Foods. It is always the best. All naturally grown at your backyard, with love, laughter and smiles as hidden ingredients. It is awesome. The taste, it’s up to you to find it out, but believe me, your fast food chains would never ever be able to keep up at the phase of the provincial delicacies. This is heaven.

I felt my self again, the real one, without my worried mind or my weary bones, as we walked   at the cold pavements, staring at the sky and the stars and feeling the cold breeze. We listened to the secret hymn of the insects and of the few passing vehicles. We sat at the road, connecting the urbanized soul with Mother Nature’s spirit. It was rejuvenating.

What’s best? No prejudice. In here, you could be yourself, at it’s purest form. No eyes to judge you. No sharp tongue to hurt you. There’s no concept of which brand would declare you as the lord of miseries or the lord of the land. In here, everyone’s welcome. In here, everyone’s accepted.

This is what we call LIFE.

C.P. Garcia

It made a mark in my heart.

It was my first time to be immersed in a community deprived of their basic needs. It was my first time to be in the real reality. It was my first time to be really in touched with the world I am living at.

We talked with the people within the community. They sheltered us. They took care of us. We learned a glimpse of their everyday life, of their everyday struggles. We saw the smiles in their pain, but we also saw the pain in their eyes.

It was also my first time to trespassed a wired fence. It was my first time to befriend children within a community. It was my first time to directly talk with the adults in the community without any prejudices in between.

In that community, I learned so many thing. I learned that wherever you are, whether literally or figuratively, people will always be people, people will help people, people will always be equal to people.

That Horrible Conversation

March, 2012

So, we were so fused out because of the heavy workloads we were finishing to meet end lines. We were multitasking.

So, we were having a working dinner at KFC that time. We were very tired, given that it was the last few days of classes were all requirements were required to be submitted, leaving you sleepless, while we were eating our dinner and messing with our projects.

Suddenly, a girl from a known school near the place was sitting with her friends next to our table. Yeah, we didn’t care if they were laughing and shouting and shiz all the way since we were also noisy at times. What irked us was the topic of their loud conversation: cosmetics and flirting.

“Why did you use my make-up? I’ll tell papa to buy me nalang,” said the girl to her friends. The horrible conversation continued.

We knew that we didn’t have the right to be pissed because everyone has the right to express. But, that thing was something. Maybe we were just tired, but actually, hearing something like that was horrible. It sounded too, you know, nonsensical or whatsoever. Haha. Just saying.

Readers, Friends and Followers

May 24, 2012

So, is there any difference between readers, friends and followers here in Tumblr?

Yes, of course.

  • Readers read your posts, no matter how silly or stupid it is but you can’t assure that they will always be your friends.
  • Friends are your usual buddies in Tumblr, but you can’t assure that they will read your posts or will follow you forever.
  • Followers are people who are following your blog, not necessarily reading your posts or claiming that they are your friends. The followers concept only has a purpose if you’re building up a blog like an empty empire - fancy but no substance.

Actually, I care less if people would follow me or not because a handful of readers are enough to keep the writing spirit burning alive. A handful of friends would ignite it better.

Followers? Ahm, it’s good to have many, but sometimes, when you’re only aiming to have so many followers, you tend to reformulate your blog and style, mass producing it to cater a broader audience, risking the quality of your blog.

My Great New Awesome Friends

May 24, 2012

So, ladies and gentlemen, may I now present to you my new great friends that I just met from the meet-up earlier this day! Roll call: arianne, nathan, aped, anthony, shay, sev empoy, and paddybar ( I don’t know your real name, sorrrrryyyyyy!).

Anyway, so here’s what happened.

Wilson was with Nathan when he fetched me from Game Zone. He introduced Nathan to me, and vice versa. Then, another set of bloggers came. The introduction was an SOP. Anyway, it was Nathan and I who were walking last among the group of bloggers. We started to talked and then, we became friends, I think. Anyway, we went to McDo.

At McDo, Nathan fetched his two blogger friends: Anthony and Aped. They sat at our table. At first, given that I am a socially awkward person, I just thought that I would just wait for them to talk to me. But, I reflected back on how long I waited to just let the following minutes of the event to go to waste, so I started talking to the two of them.

At first, I was scared to approach them. The three of them were already friends long before that event. I felt out of placed. I also felt that they don’t like me. Haha. You can’t blame me for being so self-conscious. Haha.

Now, the four of us started talking as if we were old friends, or rather, as if I was already there old friend.

Then, when we arrived at the meeting place, we had this mini speed dating game where the people need to form a two circles - an inner one and an outer one - where the outer circle must rotate one person to the right per minute. If you still can’t imagine it, then just ignore it.

Anyway, so, while we were doing the speed dating game, the four of us got stuck dating Arianne. From there, Arianne and I became friends.

Then, these two outer circle daters - Shay and Sev, got no date at certain rotation, maybe because some people from the inner circle left, leaving the possible partners for the outer circle insufficient. So, when they had no date for around two turns, I joked them that we were dating Anon users. From there, we became friends.

Then, after the speed dating game, we played charades. From that game, Paddybar, Empoy and I became friends.

After the event proper, the eight of us decided to have a new acquaintance, friends, rather, dinner. We strolled around the mall searching for Pizza Hut.

We met some Tumblr famous and other people as we roamed around the mall. We talked about things and stuff. Did silly things. Laughed hard.

It was fun. It was very fun. Especially while we were waiting for a space in Pizza Hut, we sat at the mall’s floor because we were really tired. When we also saw a water shop before going inside the mall, we rushed in, as if we were about to die because of the scorching heat and the dehydration.

Anyway, when we entered Pizza Hut and started to order our meal, we laughed and laughed very hard. Even while eating and after eating, we laughed and laughed. We laughed at so many things. It was really fun, seriously. I never thought that I would meet awesome people at that event, and would have an awesome experience with them!

My (Mis)Adventures for Today

May 23, 2012

Yeah, I am sleepless today because of the overnight drinking session last night until morning at Jasfher’s. Anyway, who cares about that. Haha.

So, these little misadventures started when Lester and I were about to leave Jasfher’s crib. We quietly walked towards their garage at 5:00 in the morning. We were like criminals, again. Anyway, what greeted us a good morning was a door with almost 5 locks, I think. So, we had no other choice but to wake Bem up to open the door for us. Thanks, Bem, you know that.

Now, when I was at the Jeepeney terminal at 6:00 in the morning, going back to my home, my mom started bugging me that I should be home at 7:00 because we would be late at her appointments and stuff. Anyway, it took me an hour in the terminal before the jeepney got full. I was really irked by the alcohol, heat and time pressure I was currently experiencing by that time.

Okay, so everything was good so far after that instance.

My dad brought me to MOA for the meet-up an hour and a half earlier than the actual start of the event. I was like a wandering soul in a giant castle. I played at Game Zone, dancing and stuff like a retard. Haha. My. Patience. Must. Bare. This. Please.

The event was great, really, especially my new friends!

Well, my dad was suppose to fetch me at 6:00. I asked him to just fetch me at 7:00 because we were having a dinner. Anyway, when he was on his way to fetch me, something bad happened to the car - I didn’t start up.

I was there. Sitting patiently, though I sometimes slip away to dream land, for two hours and a half. I was waiting for my dad.

When my dad came, he called me. He was agitating me to go to the car as soon as he arrive because the guards might ask him to just stay there for a minute. The problem was the fetching point we both set was different. I ran almost 3 blocks just to reach the car. I was a wet douche bag when I arrived at the car.

Then, when we were almost just around 10 minutes before reaching home, a tire blew up. We were forced to ran flat to the nearby vulcanizing shop. All of the vulcanizing shop was already close, good thing, one shop helped us.

Then, finally, home. Despite of these little adventures, my whole day was very great, indeed! :D

Pirates of the Caribbean

May 21, 2012

So, I’ve just done watching all of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, and now, I’ll be a pirate. Arrr, matey! Haha. Just kidding. :P

Anyway, I did enjoy it now. Last time I watched the first to third movies were way back in high school, where I didn’t understand almost everything that was happening. As if I understood everything that happened in the movie now. Haha.

Anyway, it was pretty awesome! Although, sometimes, I was searching for Jack’s previous crew, wondering what happened to them. Also, I was waiting for an action-pack Calypso in the movie, but those two female assistants iof the pirate king in Singapore were hotties. I was also expecting an intense ship war between the pirates versus the Dutch and the crew of the Flying Dutchman.  Nevertheless, I liked the plot. Plus, Kierra Knightley (Did I spell it right?) was so hot, oyeah!

I even imagined mixing Pirates of the Caribbean and Suikoden 4. I wonder how interesting it would be!

So now, I am planning to make a small prototype of a ship. Yes! Haha.

My Planner

May 22, 2012

Haha. So this is my planner and my super busy schedule, I mean, pseudo-busy schedule. Haha. Just kidding.

I kinda personalized my blog in a way by putting doodles and things in it. Haha. Actually, the reason why I bought this planner was because of two things: First, my original planner is small and the space is not enough for the number of tasks I need to finish. Second, so that I could doodle and write silly things on its pages. Haha.

Also, my planner has a twin. It now belongs to a girl who is important to me. :)

Ang Hirap Mag-que

May 26, 2012

Actually, since May 21, I was already making posts just to que them for ten days. It’s hard, really. I always wanted to post what I write instantly after I write it so that I could read people’s feedback and the like.

But, what I was doing now is queuing posts! Of course, I’m on a vacation and I don’t want to leave my blog inactive so I, or Tumblr, rather, would post one per day. This queuing shiz suppresses my thought, in a way, specially it didn’t allow a continuous flow of idea in my head toward my blog.

So, right now, if you’re reading this, I may still be at my province, enjoying my vacation. Haha. It sounds like some old scenes from those horror movies, haha.

I don’t know if I’m making any sense right now, but, guys, I hope all of us are having a great vacation! Hasta lavisa beybe! :DD

Anak ng Puga

May 22, 2012

Yeah, we’re now at Jasfher’s. We’re done playing card games, and the alcohols are already here. Oyeah, everyone knows what’s next.

Anyway, Lester and I went a lot just to get here. Haha. Here’s what happened.

So, my dad brought me to Lester’s place because I said that we will be having an overnight at his place, in Antipolo. But, in fact, the real overnight will be at Jasfher’s, here at Padilla. Anyway, so, my parents thought that I was at Lester’s place. I’m sorry mama and papa, I just don’t want the two of you to get worried.

Back to my story. So, I told Lester that we we have an evil plan. So, I was at Lester’s home. My dad already went back to our home. A few minutes later, we left Lester’s home. We took a detour so that my dad will not see us if ever we see him along the road.

So, we rushed into one of the tricycles bound to the capitol. We were hiding. Funny, we felt like criminals having a prison break. Then, we saw a yellow motorcycle at the capitol. I started panicking, I thought it was dad’s motorcycle. We rushed into one of the tricycle bound to Cogeo. 

So, while we were on the ride, we were thinking the worst case scenario that could happen to us. 

But now that we’re at Jasfher’s, it’s fun fun fun. Oyeah! 

Sorry guys, this is a you know what person typing a shiz. Haha.
