People always want to be what they are not.

When you point  this out, they get angry.

People always want what they cannot have.

When you point this out, they hate you.

I went on pretending I know everything. But, I do not. We do not. -onad

 

Last week, I saw the trailer of not-another movie of Starstruck stars Mark and Jennylyn. I swear I went out of the movie house. I never hated a trailer that much in my entire life.

 

The reason producers make stupid movies is because there are stupid people who will pay to see them. –jessica zafra (chicken pox for the soul)

 

Last night, I went to Glorietta to see Hale perform live. I must say very Switchfoot plus Coldplay and a way too cool to be a local artist. Hail to Hale. Photos will be uploaded soon.

 

If you have problem with telling people to go away, I suggest you carry a walkman all the time. –jessica did it again

 

Some time between last week and last night, I realized I have no idea what to do with my life. Within 3 months, I might be graduating. But, what’s next? I don’t know if I’ll be in Network Systems, Design Applications or Programming. I don’t know. I think I would love to teach, but I should get a Master’s Degree. I don’t know. I would love to get another course, related to creative writing or philosophy or anything that has to do with reading. Then I realized, if my hobby is reading and reading is fun and I take it as a career, what hobby will I do for fun? Maybe, I’ll end up in a call center. What a waste of studying computer engineering! I don’t know. Did I just say I don’t know again?

 

Complaining is fun! –yup, from her again

Really Amazing Race

Posted at 08:06 AM

It was the most heartfelt season finalé of the Amazing Race. I loved it. The good ones vs the bad ones. In the end, the good ones are always blessed by God. Well-deserved Uchenna and Joyce!

Fare Thee Well

Friend is?

Posted at 10:51 AM

Define Friend

sometimes, an open forum for a group of friends can make or break friendships. it depends whose thinking caps you're on. i just wonder.

there may be reasons that i do not know why my friends are acting the way they do. usually, when that friend wants to prove something for himself, a friend can go find a way to live his life alone, without a real friend. sometimes, i, myself, fake the moments that i claim i am self-sufficient going on life alone. sometimes, i prove myself too worthy for everything. but, i always end up lonely, still looking... and eventually realizing that all i needed are the people i left behind.

i was wrong.

but, you may be right. without compassion, there is no love. without love, there is no trust. without trust, there is no friendship.

Go on, run away.

WORDPLAY - JASON MRAZ

I've been all around the world
I've been a new sensation
But it doesn't really matter
In this generation
The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
And someone said that in my scene
'Cause they need a new song
Like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer
Got to find another way to live the life of leasure
So I drop my top
Mix and I mingle
Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...

Ha La La La La
Now listen closely to the verse I lay
(Ha La La La La)
It's all about the wordplay
(Ha La La La Love)
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the Mister A-Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay

And it's time to get ill I got your remedy
For those who don't remember me
Well let me introduce you to my style
I try to keep a jumble
And the lyrics never mumble
When the music's makin' people toungue-tied
You want a new song
Like a new religeon
Music for the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the poeple write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder
Got to find another way to keep from goin' under
Pull out the stops
Got your attention
I guess it's time again for me to mention
The wordplay

I built a bridge across the stream of consciousness
It always seems to be a flowin'
But I don't which way my brain is goin'
Oh the ryhmin' and the timin'
Keeps the melodies inside me
And they're comin'
Til I'm running out of air
Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
Are you listening to a single word I've said

Ha La La La La
Listen closely to the words I say
Ha La La La La
We're sticken' to the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the Mister A-Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay

Ha La La La La
I'm all about the wordplay
Ha La La La La
Stickin' with the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
I love the wonderful thing it does
Because, because
The ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's fall back in love
For the Mister A-Z they say
Is all about the wordplay

From the album: Mr. A-Z. Now, I know what I want for my graduation gift.

Thank you.

Do I want to bleed?

Posted at 09:00 AM

i slept at 1am, woke up at 10am. i'm running late for skul. i had 3 morbid dreams. or maybe they're called nightmares. as i washed my knuckles that have gone dry with blood, i recall.

1. there was a dead lady, blood all over her face lying on the floor, who came to life, in our old house. we all ran. i hid in my room. then, she went up, she knocked. i can't go anywhere, my window is unbreakable. then she opened it, i realized i wasn't scared. i guided her where she wanted to go. we walked together. far, far away. til we reached the road. what does that mean?

2. someone's trying to kill me, while i'm asleep. (take note, this is in my dreams) then i punched him, with all my might. then i woke up. my knuckles hurt so bad. i punched the wall beside my bed, it wasn't wood. it's concrete. darn, it hurts. but, i was able to go back to my sleep right away. so, i pretended, that even my waking up is just a part of my dream.

3. i forgot.

is it true that we can have a million dreams in four-hour sleep and not recall anything when we wake up? how significant is each dream to the other, to you and me, to the world, to us?

Why Don't You Get A Job

Posted at 09:47 AM

accenture called me three weeks ago. they want to see my grades, pero nung panahon na yun, hindi ko pa alam ang difference between transcript and true copy of grades. kaya nagpipilit sila kunin yung true copy of grades ko, tapos ako paulit-ulit ko sinasabi na di pa ko graduate. wala pa ko nun. nakakahiya.

tapus nagtanung-tanong ako, kahit pala photocopy lang ng grades na meron ako, okey na. kaya nagpunta ako kahapon dun. nasa 2nd floor ako, pinakausap cya saken ng guard sa phone.

ako: i'm <my_name>, you called me. i'm here with my true copy of grades.

HR: asan ka?

ako: 2nd floor po.

HR: ok i'll just go down.

tapus, i waited. the first minutes, i was thinking, maybe he's still busy. the following 10 minutes, maybe he's really busy. then after 30 minutes, oh well, maybe he's coming from the 10th floor and did not take the elevator. after 40 minutes, maybe he's calling from another building. after 50 minutes, i think he's coming from the province. it was almost an hour when i started to feel bored. no, not just bored, dead bored. there was no one around except from the guard and another snob applicant. i am so freakin' bored.

then, he came.

he took my envelope, look at my grades and contemplate. wonder what he's thinking. then, he handed it back to me. 

HR: can you please come back on monday. ok cya, pero di kasi nila ihonor yung grades that you have handwritten. pero please come back. i'll be seeing you on monday.

i realized, he really wanted me to be hired. just hearing the words: please come back. kasi malabo yung iba kong grades kaya sinulatan ko, badtrip. bawal pala yun.

moral lesson: next time, it's better to see nothing than make all things visible. parang ang layu yata nun? eto pa: what is seen is temporary and what is unseen is eternal. 

yun lang.
