para (daw) sa magaganda...

Before, hinahabol kita pero di mo ako pinapansin.

Tapos isang araw nawala ako, hinanap mo ako at

tinanong, "Bakit ka nagsawa?" Ngumiti ako, "Hindi ako

nagsawa. Natauhan lang." Pwede mo kong lokohin pero

wag kang magpapahuli sakin. Pwede mo kong palitan

pero siguraduhin mong mas mahal mo siya sakin. Pwede

mo kong iwan pero siguraduhin mong kaya mo. Kasi pag

ako sobrang nasaktan, wala ka nang babalikan.



Ang Boys? Pag trip ka, magpapakilala. Kaibigan kuno

hanggang pumorma na.Tapos pag nahulog ka na,

ayun, goodbye na dahil sawa na sila. Pero dapat walang

iiyak at smile lang tayo. Punyeta, anong silbi ng karma?



I fell in love and got hurt but I didn't shed too

much tears nor did I ask him to love me again.

Instead, I stood up proudly and said, "Ganyan talaga

ang magaganda! Hindi bagay sa tanga!"



Simple lang para hindi ka masaktan. Kapag minahal ka,

mahalin mo din. Kapag ginago ka, gaguhin mo rin.

Pero kapag umiyak ka, tanga ka! Ginago ka na nga, iiyakan mo pa?



Pag iniwan ka ng mahal mo, wag mo siyang sisihin!

Kausapin mo siya ng harap-harapan at sabihin mong,

"Ingat, tanga ka pa naman!"



Masakit pag iniwan ka ng mahal mo. Pero wag kang

magagalit ng husto. Kahit papano may pinagsamahan

naman kayo, diba? Kaya for the last time

yakapin mo siya at ibulong mo, "Gago, kukulamin kita!"



Girls, talo daw sayo sa mga boys? Papayag kayo? Sige,

pag niligawan tayo, sagot agad. Pag iniwan tayo? Ok

lang. Kapag sinabi nilang, "Uy, ex ko."



Alam niyo sagot diyan? "Ay, ambisyoso."



If the one you love doesn't love you back, don't get

depressed. Just think about it for a while, maybe cry

a bit then wipe your tears and say, "Ang weird naman

niya. Di siya pumapatol sa magaganda!"



You only got one life so live it well, one heart so

take good care, one soul so keep it pure. One

boyfriend? What a waste! Make it two or more!

Sayang ganda natin!

Pag sinabi sayo ng mahal mo na ayaw na niya sayo,

hayaan mo lang. Wag kang iiyak at magpapakagago!

Imbis na iyakan mo siya, ngitian mo lang at sabihin mo

ang ganito, "So, pano? Bye na! Naghihintay na ang kapalit mo!"



Who cares about break-ups? Oo nga, masakit. Makirot sa

puso. Pero tandaan mo: a break-up isn't only an end

to a relationship. It's also a beginning of a new one

and an end to a living hell called "ex".

change color? hahaha it's the bagong taon at malapit na magsimula ang Chinese New Year!
so HAPPY OINK YEAR!

If shame had a face, I think it would kind of look like me.
If it had a home, would it be in my eyes?
Would you believe me if I said I am tired of this
Well here we go, now one more time,


I tried to climb your steps,
I tried to chase you down,
I tried to see how low I could get to down to the ground,
I tried to earn my way,
I tried to change this mind,
You better believe that I tried to beat this.


When will this end, it goes on and on

Over, and over, and over again.

Keep spinning around I know it won't stop,

Till I step down from this for good



I never thought I'd end up here
I never thought I'd be standing where I am
I guess I kind of thought it would be easier than this,
I guess I was wrong
Now one more time



When will this end, it goes on and on

Over, and over, and over again.

Keep spinning around I know it won't stop,

Till I step down from this for good



This is a sick cycle carousel...sick cycle carousel...
This is a sick cycle carousel...sick cycle carousel...


this is an anthem.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming / Or the moment of truth in your lies / When everything seems like the movies / Yeah you bleed just to know your alive / And I don't want the world to see me / Cause I don't think that they'd understand / When everything's made to be broken / I just want you to know who I am she don't have any more words to say. she thinks it's already useless to do repair on a nuclear holocaust destruction. silence. she looks at you and found more than she could ask for. she fell for that crazy trappings that you set. but you plowed on through... amusing self-destruction. yeah you bleed. and she looks beyond all those deceptions, perceptions while looking for absolution.


inuman na lang tayo.

SPAWN ARISE.
BOURNE OUT OF THE FIRES OF HELL. SPAWN ARISE. SAVING THE DAMNED SOULS FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE FIERY ABYSS.

hmmm... not familiar with the band. but i like their songs... especially their lyrics. this is what i got when i was googling away on a particular song that all i knew is a snippet of it. interesting lyrics hehe WAKANANGBULLSHIT! ano ba itong laman ng blog ko...some kinda song hits station ha?! but anyway, let's get on with the music...este lyrics wehehe find sometime to check them out they're good,grungy and full of wicked sense. toast to the song writer.
ever heard of speed-dating?...


ARABSTRAP "The Last Romance" (2006)

Speed-Date
The ugly tattooed swingers euphemise and call their mucky hobby "trysts," but if I saw another man touch you, I'd break his fucking wrists. Monogamy's not natural, we can't survive, that's what he'll say. He loves to swap, he's open-minded, just don't dare suggest he's gay. And maybe we're just lucky, maybe our connection is unique. And if that's really just what normal people do, aren't you proud to be a freak? The so-called Dr. Gray's a billionaire because he's got the sexes sussed. We're a different race, we can't communicate and mind-games are a must. But if you need a man, just buy the book and follow all "The Rules," there's no-one quicker to splash out than vulnerable and desperate, lonely fools. Do you know enough to circle me a "yes"? In just three minutes, can I suitably impress? Why don't we ignore the whistle? Just a look, a smile, a kiss'll tell you all you really need to know. And maybe we're just different. Maybe we're nature's surprise. So put down the book, log off and keep your wallet closed and just look me in the eyes.

HIRAM
SessiOnRoad

Pagod na sa hiram
Walang patutunguhan
May sasabihin ba?
Makinig na lang sa hinala
At kung akala mo ikaw lang ang nangangamba
Wag mong ikabahala
Idilat mo ang yong mata
Pansamantala lang ba
Ang lahat ng ito?

Hindi ko alam, wag mong simulan
Pahihirapan ba ang talunan?
Tuwing ika'y mamasdan
Tuwing ika'y hahagkan
Wala ka nang mararamdaman

Sa muling pagtatagpo
Mababago ba ng mundo?
Sa aking paghihintay
Sumasambang di mabibigo

Hindi ko alam, wag mong simulan
Pahihirapan ba ang talunan?
Tuwing ika'y mamasdan
Tuwing ika'y hahagkan
Wala ka bang nararamdaman?

At sa tuwing babalikan nawawala na sa katuwiran

Hindi ko alam, wag mong simulan
Pahihirapan ba ang talunan?
Tuwing ika'y mamasdan
Tuwing ika'y hahagkan

Wala ka nang mararamdaman

the gagong bata
angst-driven theme song
for this month





the Original Fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on...

rebellion! riot! chaos! fire! love the angst bwahaha
but this one's has a "bluesy" feel into it. old school rock
great music and video. (malupet na guitar riffs... thunder bass...
and hard-hitting drums PLUS! great voice of Chris Cornell \m/ rock on!)

Enter the "...BER" month
haaay... September na! umpisa na naman ng mga "...ber" months. meaning september, october, november...and december (Pasko na! yey! Christmas time!) ehem... easy...september pa lang. as in! it really sinks in at this time of the year na each and everyday e there is certain plague of uncertainty just knocking at your door. kanina lang, yung isa kong opisinameyt, so early in the morning, could you imagine Jose Mari Chan (the award-winning composer of sentimental love songs and christmas tunes...yes. he is the one) greeted her on her way to the office, with no less than a... christmas song. funny snippet. well... i'll just save my thoughts for the year in general at the end of this year (at the start of the new year).


in the words of mitch albom: "every end is the beginning, we just don't know it at that time..." (or something to that effect if i didn't put the exact words...my bad. please forgive the gagongbata hehe)

as august ends and september begins... some doors will close and some will open...there are those who will say goodbye and those who will be left behind...some will march on, while some will just decide that "that's all folks!"


BED-RIDDEN
the last week of august and dear old body of mine suddenly cough and gagged under the weight of all the angst, stress, booze, food tripping, lack of sleep and over-sleeping, angst, stress, booze, food tripping, lack of sleep and over-sleeping, and other stuffs that has nothing to do with work (i think...hmmm) hey! superman is on the tv, again! (i don't know if it is the 4th or 5th installment though, but it's christopher reeves<-- oo, yung orig!) FOR 3 DAYS!!!! could you believe?! nakakaloka na ang nakahiga ka palagi sa kama at ang pwede mo lang gawin is to sleep, drink medicine (3 times a day), eat, sleep, drink medicine (3 times a day), eat... routinary. okay sana yung bakasyon for three days kung hindi lang sa pag-inom ng gamot. medicines are bad in my mouth (eeeewwww.... hehe) but i don't have a choice. i have to. it's either, i drink my medicine or suffer. anyway, i'm happy, kase nakakainom na ako ng gamot in tablet form (aside from neo-aspilet) wehehehe

How To Save A Life
here's the thing when you lose something...you learn and realize its worth. 'nuff said.

by The Fray Step one you say we need to talk / He walks you say sit down it's just a talk / He smiles politely back at you / You stare politely right on through /Some sort of window to your right / Is he goes left and you stay right / Between the lines of fear and blame / And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best / Cause after all you do know best / Try to slip past his defense / Without granting innocence / Lay down a list of what is wrong / The things you've told him all along / And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice /You lower yours and grant him one last choice / Drive until you lose the road / Or break with the ones you've followed /He will do one of two things / He will admit to everything / Or he'll say he's just not the same / And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong (where did I go wrong), I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up (I would of stayed up) with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

the gag0ngbata in a song...

BASKETCASE by Greenday
Do you have the time to listen to me whine / About nothing and everything all at once
I am one of those Melodramatic fools / Neurotic to the bone No doubt about it /Sometimes I give myself the creeps / Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me / It all keeps adding up / I think I'm cracking up / Am I just paranoid? Or I'm just stoned?

I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams / She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore / She said my life's a bore / So quit my whining cause it's bringing her down
Sometimes I give myself the creeps / Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up / Am I just paranoid? Or I'm just stoned?

Grasping to control So I better hold on

Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Or I'm just stoned?

Ang SONA ng isang batang palaboy


pollysoundtrack:
Family Reunion by Blink 182
What's My Age Again by Blink 182
The Adventure by Angels & Airwaves
We're All To Blame by Sum41

Overview: the mo0d as gloomy as the current weather while making this entry (stormy) and a bit happy (maybe because my horns are growing again...hmmm...)

hmmm...maybe i am in the mood to rant bwahahaha
since SONA naman at uso ang mga rally, bagaman binabagyo ang kalakhang maynila, parang trip ko rin maging terorista. kailangan ko talaga makontak sila Bin Laden tungkol dito hehe okay cge na nga, masyado na syang sikat... mas maganda kase pag gumagamit ng stealth operations. pero ewan, minsan hindi na umuubra ang mga tactics na gano'n. kung giyera e di giyera na! mano- a-mano ika nga nila. haaay... makabawi man lamang.

current ym status: "wala daw nagtatrabaho dito, kaya wala (salary) adjustments!"

current ym status ng opisina mate: "increase pala ha...eto ang bagong boss para sa inyo"

from another opisina mate: "kung ang increase ilo-loan, kanino ipapatong ang interes non?..."
ang sagot: "wala na daw bonus kase ipambabayad sa interes hehehe"

okay fine. nandun na sa mga financial matters ang usapan. e paano naman... tangina! hindi pala kami nagtatrabaho!!!!! wala palang kwenta ang halos 24/7 na pag-uuntog ng ulo para makapaglabas ng magandang konsepto na hindi naman kayang ipa-approve at depensahan. tapos ang gaganda ng mga kliyente... pero baket feeling ng mga nakatataas ay wala silang kliyente. "sunod na lang, dahil kikita naman tayo." e pucha! fuckers naman pala itong mga hinayupak na mga "bosing" na ito.... kase ni isang kusing wala ka man lamang naramdaman na "kinita" daw. may mga dumadaing na nga na wala silang mapangpa-aral ng mga anak nila. at yung simpleng konsuwelo de bobo hindi man lamang maibigay (na pinagpaguran ng mga tao...kaya nga it is a wonder where'd it all go? nasaan yung sinasabi nilang kita?!). pero ang mga sasakyan e kay gagara (hindi na nga raw magkasya sa garahe e). bayad daw namin itong mga sasakyan na ito. at binabayaran lang namin sila para maupo at mag-smile at um-oo. binabayaran din yata namin yung mga drayber nila na nakatambay lang sa opisina? wish lang nahihiram namin yung mga sasakyan nila't nagpapdrayb pag may pupuntahan here, there. everywhere, at any time ahahaha tangina di ba?! people first! then the product. sadly, in reality, everything pretty much goes the other way around.

kung ganito ang takbo ng isang private company...how much more ang mga political leaders ng isang bansa?!

little wonder...

"On a dark, desert highway, cool wind in my head..."

[ the itinerary ]

24.june.2006 famy, laguna hike minor climb (if you can call it a minor climb... talk about battling a very wet weather while climbing the steep, muddy, rocky, shit-full slopes ... plants! plants! and more plants and trees... cliff of which some... are barbed wired, while some... guess where it will end? bwahaha) more importantly, it's a night hike :) exciting! hehe
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
at dahil pasaway ang gagong bata na palaboy (na tulad ko...) lahat yata ng bawal gawin when you'll gonna going on an hiking expedition nagawa ko. but anyway, these are, in my intrepid mind, the most important things you should consider to bring along and must-haves when hiking (though bringing an alcoholic beverage depends i think... half of my mind says we should've brought one along, half of it thought... buti na lang!*):

*i have to consider the weather on this thought and the terrain... 1) bring a mountaineering or hiking bag... it's much bigger and can well adapt itself to whatever conditions you're gonna be in aside from being compact. (whatever! i brought my backpack instead...it's more like a small school bag in the eyes of everyone... i think) 2) it's a common knowledge for any mountaineer or hiker to wear proper lightweight attire--- and i didn't (i'm comfortable wearing jeans...so why can't i? hehe) and hiking shoes anyone?!...nah! i wore my trusty and dependable chucks (pic at the bottom) that i usually wear every damn day (hehe this is the limited edition folks!...sure it didn't help at getting me to avoid splashing around in muddy ground... but its the best sneakers that i've ever put into such a gruelling test) 3)be in the company of friends... kasi it is much fun doing these activities with the people you're pretty much comfortable with ---- this is what i like most! 4)have a guide --- we have the best!


by the way, there are only three of us who dared to climb the mountain, challenged the weather, and hike all the way to the camp at night!

the nanay, the guide, and the mudswimming rookie.

A new band sensation emerges as The Youth Group finally sang Forever Young. to cap it all off for this set. come listen again and i promise you that there will be a whole new playlist to play for your listening pleasure and displeasure."

if i would describe what my life is...it's music.

music is everywhere. it maybe the trees singing along with the wind. or the birds that chip and chatters. may it be orchestral, classical, rhythm and blues, rock 'n roll, jazz, country, disco, punk, grunge, rock, metal, techno, new wave, ballad, pop, alternative, acoustic, acapella, world music, or even choir songs. it's what makes this "gagong bata" such a neurotic blend. the sounds of the streets are music to my ears as well. apart from the noise, silence is such a relaxing tune. one may agree or not, i'm not a specialized listener (meaning listening to specific genre of music). i listen. that respect, i give to music. and music is everywhere. (put scene of "The Sound Of Music" here where Julie Andrews is singing on a hilltop --- i think it's the opening scene) maybe its no wonder God gave us ears. we should all learn to listen.


music is a sanctuary. like the church quasimodo is living in.
or what the lost boys in never never land may be humming whenever they were fighting captain hook with peter pan.

Holy Wednesday na. panahon na naman ng pagpepenitensya. di ba pagpapakasakit ang pagpepenitensya? puta! e ano pang pinagkaiba ng pagpepenitensya sa iba pang mga araw? dahil ba Holy Week? bakit ba tinawag na "holy" ang week na ito? sabi ng nakararami, ang linggong ito raw ginugunita ang pagpapapako ni Hesus para sa kaligtasan ng nakararami. para sa kaligtasan. para sa kaligtasan. para sa kaligtasan. yan lang ang alam nating sabihin. kaya mo bang gawin? sabi nila, SIYA lang ang nakagawa nun. ang akuin ang lahat ng kasalanan sa mundo para sa kaligtasan ng lahat. LAHAT. SIYA pala si Superman. astig siguro sya maging katropa noon. kaya payo nila, tularan natin yung ginawa NYA. tularan natin SIYA. wala na raw gano'ng tao sa panahon ngayon. WALA na daw kayang magsakripisyo ng sarili sa kapakanan ng iba. mapaparatangan ka pang sira-ulo o baliw (baka madala ka pa sa mental hospital ng mga kamag-anak mo o kaibigan) pag gumawa ka ng gano'ng kalokohan. ang iba naman ginagawa na lang ang pagpapakasakit dahil daw nakagawian na. tradisyon. alam mo yun? yung mga literal na nagpapapako sa krus at nagsusugat ng mga katawan nila habang naglalakad bareback (hindi brokeback.) sa kasagsagan ng init ng araw. para sa isang palaboy na tulad ko, pareho lang ito ng bawat araw na nagdadadaan. penitensya ba kamo? ano yun? nabibili ba yun sa tindahan? pinamimigay ba yun? iyon ba'y libre? kung libre man yun... gusto mo ba? hehe penitensya daw. minsan lumabas ka't maglakad-lakad sa daan. iwan mo muna ang kotse sa garahe (kung meron ka). maglakad ka lang. makakatipid ka pa. napapansin mo ba yung mga batang natutulog sa mainit na semento't naghahati lamang sa kakarampot na dyaryo o karton na napulot lang sa basurahan (walang tirahan)? nakikita mo yung batang nagtitinda ng sampaguita tuwing gabi (para daw sa pag-aaral at para may makain ang pamilya nya)? yung mga matatandang namamayat na't nakasalampak sa mga bangketa?(para daw hindi maging pabigat sa pamilya kaya lumayo na lang) ang mga nakatambay na prosti sa kahabaan ng kalyeng dinadaan-daanan mo, napapansin mo ba? (para ito sa mga mahal nila sa buhay.) naririnig mo ba ang hiyaw ng mga magulang na nawalan ng kanilang anak o anak na nawalan ng magulang o kapatid? ang bawat isang tao na kasabay mong naglalakad, naaaninag mo ba ang kanilang mga itinatagong lihim? (hindi nila maiintindihan kaya buti pang tumahimik na lang.) ilang buto na ba sa kabinet ang pinilit mong ungkatin kesa ipagsawalangbahala? ganyan din siguro ang mga nakita nya noon. sila din siguro ang mga gusto NIYA mailigtas. ganyan din siguro pumalahaw ng iyak ang KANYANG ina nang makita ang anak na duguan at nahihirapan habang pasan ang mabigat na krus. ganyan din siguro ang naramdamang lihim pagdadaramhati ni Hudas nang ipagkanulo niya ang isang kaibigan. ganyan din siguro ang pighating naramdaman ni Maria Magdalena sa tuwing paparatangan sya bilang isang prostitute (ni hindi nga nila kilala kung sino sya di ba? ang galing no? uso na ang tsismisan noon pa man). penitensya. samantalang marami dyan sa paligid, araw-araw pala may nagpapakasakit sa kapanan ng iba...hindi lang nila alam. hindi lang natin alam. pero araw-araw pala may nagpepenitensya.

wala lang akong matinong ma-ipost
kaya dadaldal na lang ako dito

ako ay nagbabalik.isang gago na palaboy ng lansangan. laging nawawala
at nakatulala sa kawalan. magbabahagi lamang ng mga mumunting kwento.
mga kwentong hango sa araw-araw na paggagala. usapang musika muna tayo...

gigs
andami gigs nitong mga nagdaang linggo (since last year). summer na. humaharurot na ang palipad ng mga lokal na banda. buhay na naman ang OPM. naglabasan na naman ang mga rakista. rakrakan na. inuman na. tugtugan na. slamman na. bata, matanda nakakarelate. at kahit na gaano kaingay ang mga musika't tugtugan nito...napapasayaw ka man sa kinatatayuan mo, iba talaga kapag nakakapanood ka ng gig. makita mo na tumutugtog ng live ang isang banda. mas maappreciate mo yung galing nila sa pagkalabit ng mga strings ng kani-kanilang mga gitara't baho o paghampas ng tambol; at pagkanta ng bokalista.

nakakamiss lang ang mga club dredd days noon.
oo...bawal pa ako sa mga gano'ng lugar.
palo ang aabutin ng inyong abang lingkod hehe

pangarap na banda
ano kayang feeling ng meron kang sariling banda? yung hinihiyaw ang pangalan mo
habang tumutugtog ka ng isa sa mga orig nyong komposisyon? yung meron humahabol sa "entourage" nyo (malalim ba? wala akong ibang word na maitawag e hehe) papunta sa isang gig? yun bang tuwing lalabas kayo sa isang gig e may mga sumasalubong sa inyo na nagkakagulo na makipagkamay sa inyo o pa-piktyur pa?! o di kaya yun lalapitan kayo't hihingan pa ng autograph?! ano bang feeling na pag tuwing kakanta kayo e nakikikanta rin ang lahat ng manonood?!... ano nga kaya?!

masaya magkabanda. madali lang bumuo ng banda.
madali rin maglaho ang mga pangarap.
kung wala sa puso...at sumusunod lamang sa uso.


we interrupt this program to give you
an important reminder
based on a true story. hehe

HOST 1: "Okei pa ba kayo lahat dyan?!"
(hiyawan mga rakista!)
HOST 2: "Wow! astig kayong lahat. lahat kayo na dumalo sa gig na ito..."
HOST 1: "Oo, nga. Ngunit bago natin ipagpatuloy ang selebrasyon na ito..."
HOST 2: "may konting mga announcements lang kami na kailangan banggitin."
HOST 1: "Okay ba sa inyo yun?!"
(hiyawan ulit ng mga rakista... pero parang nagmamumble lang ng mga salita. kung ano man yun? hindi ko alam hehe)
"cge na! ituloy nyo na yan tapos tugtugan na ulit!!!!" sigaw ng isa sa mga manonood.
HOST 2: "Ang sasaya nila ngayong gabi ano?!"
HOST 1: "Tama. o sya. ito ang mga nanalo sa raffle natin ngayong gabi ng isang case ng beer..."(at isa-isang nagbanggit ng pangalan ng mga nanalo sa raffle)
HOST 2: "At ito naman ang mga nanalo sa raffle natin ngayong gabi ng mp3s...pero hindi mp3 player...mp3s lang take note!" (at binanggit na naman ang mga pangalan ng mga nagwagi)
HOST 1: "Congrats sa mga nanalo at inyong i-claim ang premyo dito sa harap ng stage..."
HOST 2: "Congrats! Other announcements..." (pause) "tinatawagan ng pansin ang may-ari ng kulay puting Mercedez Benz...hindi na sya puti..."
HOST 1: "Tinatawagan ang pansin ng may-ari ng kotseng may plakang TAE658... kasalukuyan syang tino-tow..."
HOST 2: "O sya! ituloy na tin ang tugtugan! siagw nga ulit kayo..."
(hiyawan ng mga rakista ulit!)
HOST 1: "Handa na ang susunod na banda. inihahatid namin sa inyo ang bandang Banda Namin Noon..."
HOST 2: "Teka muna!... sisingit lang po muna ako...isa na lang announcement..."
HOST 1: "O cge..."
HOST 2: "Uhmm... tinatawagan ng pansin si Juan Andres Bernardo Huwes Jr."
"... nanay mo nasa labas at sinusundo ka. Gabi na raw... uwi na daw kayo."

(hiyawan at kantiyawan)

14.2

14.2 here goes nothing. 14.2 i don't have everything. 14.2 it was a mistaken identity. actually, it's just 2.14 when placed backwards. just erase the dot and you got a rivermaya original song. its OPM (orig pinoy music) at its best. i just don't make sense. i don't have a sixth sense. it was just the freaking opinion of conscience. was it providence? no, it's not a coincidence. i just made it looked like it was an accident. watching a wrestling match for entertainment to get some kicks out of an amicable life of the ordinary. they made me attend the disciplinary school. disobedience made me obey. sickness made me feel okay. dispatch the line before this, i just made it up to rhyme. like a dime that i failed to catch when all i can get is a piso*. pustiso sinisipilyo. nawawalan ng turnilyo; hindi marunong maggantsilyo. 14.2 is the day that i stepped IN a shithole when i stepped OUT of another. this is a special day that celebrates love in all aspects. weird n0h?! let's celebrate love for just ONE freaking day... then let's kill each other for the rest of the year bwahahaha just a thought ehehe madness. chaos. charoos! nyak-nyak-nyak. well, on my way, i did managed to breathe some fresh air instead of a burning and rotten breeze in hell...but then again... like a moth to a flame, i fail to forget the place of the damned; just like the rest of the whole damn greatest creation ever made... humans. hehe. so i just wrote a very special post to commemorate the first year of angst management class that i was practically thrown to to attend over and over and over... shit. so to me on the 14th day of the second month of the year i celebrate because 14.2 is the day that i failed too.

just wanted to post something to commemorate the gagong bata na isang palaboy (in da haws)'s one year of being in the angst management class hehe

an oldie but goodie classic...

DAYDREAM BELIEVER
the Monkees

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings.
The six o'clock alarm would never ring.
But it rings and I rise,
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes.
My shavin' razor's cold and it stings.

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

You once thought of me
As a white knight on a steed.
Now you know how happy I can be.
Oh, and our good times start and end
Without dollar one to spend.
But how much, baby, do we really need.

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.


Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

sa MRT kanina...
syempre dakilang late si ako. tanghali na papasok pa lang ako. i'm so0ooo dedicated di ba?! ba't nga ba ako late? SWOOSH (flashback effect) well...sangtambak ang mga J.O. sa opis. from monday 'til wednesday (this week pa lang yan...hindi ko na isasali yung mga nakaraan pa) grabe ang demand (though hindi pa naman overwhelming). uwian-pasok galore at tapak lang sa bahay ang mga kaganapan sa kabuhayan ko. pero kagabi...este kanina pag-uwi ko (sa wakas... ^_^) mantakin mo! nag-alaSPIDERMAN ako...akyat-bahay gang, in short...sa inuuwiang tahanan ng isang palaboy na tulad ko. sarado na kc ang gate at mga pintuan. well...ayus lang sanay na hehe SWOOSH (flashback effect) kanina habang nakasakay sa MRT, habang ang isip ay nasa ibang dimensyon parang nabatukan ang bata nang kanyang makita si Kris Aquino! nakatingin sa akin at nakaturo, nanlalaki ang mga mata't nakabuka ang bibig na tipong sumisigaw sa akin ng: "GAME KA NA BA?!" so syempre napatingin ako habang sinasabing "yeah, right." and then, bigla syang nahati sa gitna. tumabingi mukha nya. one side goes to the left...the other side to the right. as in! nahati sya! believe me. parang mutation process ng pelikulang TOTAL RECALL. i'm speechless. a girl of her status naging gano'n. mutated version. after ilang minutes, naging buo sya ulit. at ako'y nagpatuloy sa aking paglalakbay.



so far so good...she's only a sticker.
nakakatawa lang kc ung itsura nya nung bumukas ung pintuan ng tren at sakto yung image nya doon nakalagay ; )
