Bagoong at iba pa

1. maganda kaya ang Superman? Di ako ganon ka-excited. Di ko kilala yung bida, at yung gaganap na Lois Lane parang di bagay sa edad nya. O nasanay lang ako sa pa-sweet image nya?

2. Bumalik ako sa St. Paul nung sabado. Ang malas naman, araw daw ng Maynila. Hanggang gate lang tuloy ako. Bwehehe. There goes my attempt to conquer one of my fears.

3. Nakapaglaro na ulit ako ng bowling. Pero sapilitan eto. Me magaling kasi kaming kasama. For fun lang dapat, nauwi sa pustahan. Lagi lang akong 9. Di ko marunong mag-spare. Wawa =(

4. Inupgrade ko yung Winamp ko. Nairita ako. Di kasi nagpi-play ng next song. Di ako marunong. Patulong naman please. Alec? Jason?

5. Sarap talaga sa Pinas. Sana wag muna kami paalisin. 'La na ako datung pero oks lang =D

6. Lapit na kasal ni Kenks at Wiwit. Uso talaga ang kasalan ngayon. Ang yaman na siguro ng mga nasa wedding business. Makisawsaw kaya ako? Cake sana kaso di ako marunong magbake. Photographer? Eh wala naman akong pamatay na camera. Coordinator? Mainitin ulo ko baka tajakan ko lang yung mga magiinarte. Host? Stage fright. Da hell. Wag na nga lang!

7. Naisip ko na kung ano namimiss ko. Yung after office hours, living a normal life ka na. Parang antagal ng di nangyayari sakin yun. After office hours, nasa office pa rin. At kahit nakauwi na, trabaho pa rin ang naiisip. Mental check: One two... one two...

8. Nahihilig ako sa mga ulam na may bagoong (simula ng mag-binagoongan kami sa Tunisia). Pritong talong with bagoong, Kare-kare, Pakbet, Bicol Express, at syempre Binagoongan... yummmm!

9. May masarap na mini-pandesal sa LKG. Ngayon lang ako nakatikim ng pandesal na flavored pesto, peanut butter, peanut butter at pimiento. Kakaiba.

10. Nanonood na naman ako ng Koreanovela. My Girl tsaka A Love To Kill. Yahoo!

The Lake House

I received an sms (while having lunch with the bride-to-be Martie) that the premier night of Lake house will be in Glorietta 4 and not in Powerplant. Watda? Was the message really meant for me?

Pero...totoo nga eto. There's a message from PEx that I won 2 complimentary tix. Balitaan ko na lang kayo later kung ok ba yung movie. Pero as of now, sabi nga ni Kuya Chi, "at least libre!" hehe oo nga naman.

PS: Thanks ke Jam sa pagsama sakin kunin yung tix. Kahit pasaway ka sa blog ko, mabait ka pa rin Dods =)

PS2: Welkam back Fat.

Verdict: Didn't want to but I slept in the middle of the film, woke up 10 mins before the credits rolled. I'm confident I didn't miss anything. After the movie, the audience clapped. It's happy ending. Sandra is a pro. One more thing, I guess the title should be "The Mailbox". All we saw is that it was made of glass. Mejo draaaaaagging. Pero laging andon yung tanong "Magkikita na ba sila? Magkikita pa ba sila?" ... at ang bottomline, nakakaaliw pala panoorin ang mga tao magpapicture kina Chico and Delamar (sa pagitan ng pagsubo ni Chico ng popcorn)

Warning: Emo mode. Nakamamatay.

Pasensha. Galing po ito sa mga forwarded sms at PEx. Baka sakaling maka-relate kayo. Trip lang :)

LOVE & RELATIONSHIP 101:

There's always a possibility for a person to get attracted to another--it's human nature, its not wrong. But when you're in a relationship, you should discipline yourself. You may get attracted to numerous prospects & it's ok, as long as you don't nurse the feeling & won't do anything about it. Recognize the reality that you already have the person who can give you more than what you can get from cheap thrills of attraction. (Huwaw! Ang deep)

10 Ultimate Emo lines:

1. Sabi nila, mahal daw kita kasi pangalan mo daw parati kong binabanggit. Parati daw akong masaya pag andyan ka. Sabi nila aminin ko na daw syo. Pero sabi ko, "matagal na nyang alam, la lang syang pakialam." (knowing is half the battle)

2. Minsan di sapat na mahal mo ang isang tao, at alam mo na mahalaga ka para sa kanya, kasi bago ang lahat.... dapat alam mo ang pinagkaiba ng MAHAL sa MAHALAGA LANG! (sooo true)

3.
may mga bagay na
kahit syo na,
nawawala pa

pero talagang ganon!
kaya naisip kta.

alam kong di ka sa kin,
pero sana bago ka mawala

malaman mong
kung di ka mahalaga

e di sana non pa,
hinayaan na lang kita. (oo nga naman!)

4. it's hard to hold on to something that you know would never be yours in any way you think of. you just have to learn to let go and face the fact that while good things never last, some don't even start. (sounds family)

5. Ano ba 'to? ikaw na naman iniisip ko. Kaya ang hirap makatulog sa gabi eh, di kita makalimutan. Pero nakatulog din ako, alam mo kung paano? Sinabi ko sa sarili ko "Tanga, may mahal na yon. Tulog ka na." (epektib)

6. sabi mo iwasan kita. sabi mo rin wag na kitang mahalin. pero bakit kelangan ko pang pahirapan ang sarili ko? mamahalin mo ba pag ginawa ko mga ito? hindi pa rin naman, di ba? (may logic yung gumawa nito)

7.
nung nawala ka sa buhay ko, kala ko ok lng.
kala ko isang tulugan lang, mawawala ka na sa isip ko.
pero mali ata ako
kasi nung nawala ka,

ni matulog di ko magawa. (insomiac din?)

8.
Lam mo hirap
pag nawala
yung mahal mo.

nakakalungkot,
masakit,
nakakamiss.

bakit ganun no?

Pagkatapos
ng
saya

dadating
din ung
time
na

iiwan ka nya.

dun pa sa part
na
sobrang

mahal mo na siya. ('sobrang' mahal kasi e. dapat ba 'mahal' lang? hehe)

9. sabi nila, masakit pag di ka nakikita ng taong mahal mo kasi may iba s'yang tinitingnan. pero di ba mas masakit kung wala na s'yang tinitingnan, di ka pa rin nya makita? (welcome to my world)

10. sometimes, i think if im doing the right thing.
my heart tells me
" kaya mo yan, love mo sya e."
but then my mind tells me..
" tama na yan please, nagmumukha ka ng tanga e." (tsk tsk mahirap talaga magmukang tanga)

Chicken Dilemma

I watched Dream for An Insomniac last night. Dun pala galing yung famous line na

"Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of my time."

I wasn't convinced. At least by the actors. I couldn't see the passion. There was no chemistry at all. The story is awesome anyway. But that's not what this is all about.

I heard the quote before. And I onced joined a discussion with my female colleagues about it. It was before the wedding. And you know how little things can magnify when you're about to do the dip. Thinking of such things are crazy!

It's romantic. It's breathtaking. It's idealistic. It's naive. When you're young and in love, you think it's how it should be. It's what you expect. It's what you deserve. Once you get your heart broken, Pandora's box opens. And you realize you could live without it. You could have a relationship minus "the mad, passionate extraordinary" thing. It's scientific anyway. My bestfriend (whose going to be married next month) said that "kilig" could only last for 2 years. 2 years? I always lose 'kilig' after 3 months!

You (think) you live a normal life. And you (almost) feel happy and contented. You're protected. You've built walls around you. It's perfectly clear who's your enemy. Then shit happens. You're given one more chance to be stupid. You're again at the crossroad feeling like a chicken who can't cross the street. And you ask yourself over and over, "Will the chicken cross the street? Why will the chicken cross the street?"

The answer is simple. When Pandora's box opened, your eyes opened (It's what you need to cross the street. You can't cross the street with eyes closed! You're not an idiot anymore!) The chicken is crossing the street because at the end of it, there's another chicken who's willing to take the plunge to be as stupid as you. And that chicken happens to be the "wake up call", the beautiful and only reason to get up to every fuckin' morning. Disagree? Then you haven't met any chicken at all.

PS: i learned from this movie that insomnia is not the habit of 'not being able to sleep' but actually a habit of 'poor sleep'. Bummer.

Sige Na Nga
