"it seems to me now that the plain state of being human is dramatic enough for anyone; you don't need to be a heroin addict or a performance poet to experience extremity. you just have to love someone." 

how to be good

hey 2013, what you got in store for me? :)

wrong direction

bro1: would you go with your girlfriend to a one direction concert if she asks you?
bro2: that's an irrelevant question.
bro1: why?
bro2: she wouldn't be my girlfriend if she likes one direction.

(un)fairness

"fairness us a concept that holds only in limited situations. yet we want the concept to extend to everything, in and out of phase. from snails to hardware stores to married life. maybe no one finds it, or even misses it, but fairness is like love. what is given has nothing to do with what we seek." -haruki murakami

weird?

things are weird because

a. i am weird
b. you are weird
c. we are weird
d. individually, we are not weird but together we are weird

"these things happen. they happen to men, at any rate. or this particular man. sometimes. it's difficult to explain why or how you can find yourself pulled in two different directions at once, and obviously a certain amount of dreamy irrationality is a prerequisite. but there's logic to it, too."

from high fidelity by nick hornby

this is how a normal non bantay-salakay guy thinks..

"So in the short term, I was glad we were friends. In the long term, though, I wasn't so sure. I don't mean that Alicia wouldn't have been a good friend to have. She'd have been a fantastic friend to have. But by that stage, I knew that I didn't want to be her friend, if you know what I mean, and I was worried that her being friendly to me meant that I didn't stand a chance with anything else."

from Slam a novel by Nick Hornby

lead on

who wouldn't be after she told me she found me interesting? and after that unexpected kiss at the copier. and shower sex.

though she told me that we should be (just?) friends. and at the onset she wasn’t comfortable being anyone’s anything.

still, it could’ve worked… in a world where everything good happens to me.

TTT 2

itchin' (for tekken). that's what i felt after i saw the trailer for tekken tag tournament 2. so the dust flew off my neglected ps2 (my psp has been indisposed for quite sometime now) and controller for some much needed tekken rounds.



the trailer was a christmas gift from tekken's creator harada. but... TTT 2 won't come til mid 2011. can't wait!

and oh, guess who this guy is. >:) he'll be coming back to TTT 2 with all of the rest of the T6:BR characters along with new (jaycee) and not so new (jinpachi) characters.

p.s. bonus!

hoot

not as catchy as their previous singles. still cute though.^^
