may namimiss akong ka-chat...

the red box experience

it's been a long time since i had the chance to sing with my friends in red box. (last time that i did was 2004? blame it on red box queen bee faye who left us all to do her singing down undah.) so it was a surprise when jon wanted to go bidjoke with us, because apparently he has never had a videoke session with us outside his house.

i'll stop here and let the video do the talking.

~~~

all low tech editing done on my phone. kaching!



i haven't personally watched the video online because smart bro sucks. so you must forgive me if it's a fail. hehe.

sya: oi long time! ayus naman ako. ikaw?

singles night sa grocery

gaeb: pare, may na-observe lang ako.
michael: o ano na naman yan.
gaeb: alam mo ba na pwede mong malaman yung character ng isang tao sa grocery items nya?
michael: alam ko.
gaeb: weh? paano mo nalaman? di ko pa naman nasabi sayo tong theory ko na to a.
michael: o sige sige. di ko alam.
gaeb: ano sample?
michael: sige, pero ako pipili.
gaeb: game! yun lang pala e.
michael: ayun. *turong nguso kay miss*
gaeb: teka. hmmm...
(gulay, low fat milk, low fat mayo, tuna, salad dressing, bread, fruits)
michael: tagal.
gaeb: easy! rich, health buff. malamang more than one year na syang nagwo-work out.
michael: explain.
gaeb: health buff, give away sa mga bibilhin nya. rich, dahil lahat ng items nya may tatak. salad dressing pa lang e. e pwede mo naman yang gawin. nagwo-work our for more than one year, dahil toned sya at kaya nyang kumain ng normal na tinapay at hindi wheat bread.
michael: pwede. pero di pa rin ako kumbinsido.
gaeb: sige, turo pa.
michael: ayun. sa may counter. *turong nguso sa counter*
gaeb: ahhh...
(diet coke in can, sprite in can, potato chips, chippy na pula)
gaeb: wala na bang mas mahirap? magsyota yan. malamang more than two years na. manonood sila ng sine.
michael: huh? paano?
gaeb: di mo kasi nakitang sinalubong sya ng gf nya. malamang more than two years na sila kasi di na sila nahihiya sa isa't isa. yung tipong kelangan pa nilang bumili ng mamahaling pop corn at drinks.
michael: sige last na lang. *turong nguso sa isang mama*
gaeb: ...
(instant noodles, assorted de lata, assorted junk food, tinapay, hotdog)
gaeb: chicken! tulad mo pre, single yan at di na nakitara sa parents nya.
michael: *napatingin sa basket nya*
gaeb: teka. pare, kulay berde pala ang dugo nyan.
michael: ha?
gaeb: tignan mo yung kinukuha nya.
michael: ano nga ba?
gaeb: lufa, facial wash at liquid soap.
michael: so?
gaeb: no straight guy would buy those pare.
michael: ows?
gaeb: ikaw ba bibili ka ng liquid soap?
michael: hindi.
gaeb: i rest my case.

i'm excited with what tomorrow has in store for me.

september memory replay

our hands clasped, fingers intertwined
your tenderness bore through my palm
everything felt right on that very second
how i cherished that sleep deprived moment

reclined as the first rays greeted us
i saw you, half-awake, half-asleep
a dream of fine sand, coral blue waters and you,
alone and away from it all, where only fishes can see

but the inevitable tomorrow came
roads and words separated us
i was forever caught in that instant
and i replay it in perpetuity

kung anu-anu-ano

may gitarista ba na tone deaf? kung wala... e di lahat ng gitarista kayang kumanta.

~~~

napansin ko sa project runway philippines pag tinatawag ng mga judges si jaz "she" ang gamit nila. pero kung yung ibang contestants, tulad ni philip or ni aries, "he" ang gamit ng mga judges.

~~~

mtv's that i'd rather watch with the volume muted...

mariah carey's touch my body
shakira and beyonce's beautiful liar
pussy cat doll's when i grow up

dapat siguro pakainin muna si willie ng tanghalian bago sya maghost ng wowowee para di nya kinakain yung mga salita nya.

~~~

may ulcer na ang ref ko.

naiinis ako sa mga taong...

1. di marunong gumamit ng pedestrian lane/overpass

2. tumatawid habang naka-go pa ang mga sasakyan

3. di marunong umayos ng upo sa bus/jeep/fx

4. ayaw i-abot ang pamasahe sa driver sa bus/jeep/fx

5. di marunong pumila

~~~

ikaw, sinong mga tao ang kinaiinisan mo?

you know how i know you're gay?

i caught this music video of hale a couple of weeks ago. man, it sounds like keane. and i like keane. (yeah, i'm gay that way. gayness factor of keane almost equal to coldplay's.) should i start liking hale? hmmm... maybe for just this one song.

~~~

let's gay it up some more...

now time to find me a ford focus and put a rainbow bumper sticker on it that says, "i love it when balls are in my face." and oh, i do love asia. hehe.

ironic

i was browsing some social network site a while ago and i saw something that triggered me to want to read this post made by my friend. so i went on his site and tried to search for that entry. i couldn't find it, although i did come across some other interesting posts.

one of them is this. i found myself really amused that he actually stayed with that "girl who had no long term potential" for four years. and the fact that the only one who left a comment there was our friend who we "abandoned" to start his relationship with "the girl." and oh, they had their anniversary last august. congrats pare!

tri-mester

i find it very peculiar that i'm having these crazy cravings for the past week or so. about three days ago, i think a little before midnight, i wanted to eat palabok. i was on the verge of lifting my lazy ass off the couch to go out grab a fiesta delight but it was raining then so i opted to satisfy my craving the next day. and just last night i was dreaming of queso real ice cream which, to this day is still a dream. and i'm still longing for the isaw for about a week now. grrr. and chocolate sponge cake. wait a minute... i think i was lusting for that almost three months ago. wah?

ako: yaan mo pare, balang araw magiging uso din tayong mga pogi.

separate lives

i try to keep my blogging life separate with my real life. so much so that i rarely repeat what i've written down here when i talk with my friends. (well except when i'm talking about juno or sideways or music.) there's no particular reason that i do, it's just that i want this blog to be an avenue for me to express thoughts that i can't just blurt out there. so most of the time what you may read here will be totally random and weird. so don't take it too seriously. just read with an open mind and hopefully leave with something new to think about.

and now that we have that out of the way... let's sing!

you have no right... to ask me how i feel...
you have no right... to speak to me so kind...

(of course this is the point of this entry.)

"i'm a thumbprint on the window of a skyscraper. i'm a smudge of excrement on a tissue surging out to sea with a million tons of raw sewage."

insider tips

i am stubborn. if you tell me to do something, most of the time i will do the complete opposite. the only time that i can think of that i will probably follow someone's suggestion or advice is when i believe that i came up with that idea first, thus in effect you are just reinforcing an original thought that was initially there already. so if you really want me to do something there are only two things to keep in mind,

1. don't tell me what to do or tell me to do the exact opposite of what you want me to do
2. find a way to let me think that what you want me to do is my idea in the first place




update: o yeah, did i mention that all men think this way?

i know i've been a flake for the last couple of months. but still all of my friends were there for me. thanks friends, you know who you are.

screw that. i'm putting all my eggs in one basket. there's no room for mediocrity now.
