ahahhahahaha ang saya. gagawin ko ulit ito sa office.- Mood:

after so much speculation on what i'm going to do, i have decided to:
1) keep doing what i'm doing, except that i'm going to exert more effort and some sense of purpose
2) never be late. i need to get a sense of time in my head. shit. i need to start being respectful of other people.
3) get back in the game. i've kept myself on the sidelines because i was friggin lazy. i need to place myself in situations that have a sense of discomfort again. try new things. it's been a while since i managed to do that.
4) re-affirm my love to the people that matter most. auto-pilot life is gettin on my nerves
5) stop using the phrase "a sense of..." it's getting to be really irritating damn it.
i'm supposed to get rich. in the past semester i've done a whopping total of 28 individual papers for other individuals. this includes a term paper, a reaction paper, a paper about a very technocratic subject regarding a lesson i never went to and a large chunk of a thesis. oh yes.
that adds up to a whopping total of: P30,000+. but i still have to get the P23,000. god damn procrastinating assholes who can't pay for what they order! i'm gonna start making threats now... those buggers need to pay me quick;
300 na bukas. SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
- Location:sa prince david
- Mood:
semi aggravated. - Music:sixpence a wee bit richer
i just watched the 300 trailer in youtube (both of them since there was the initial release and the official one... both with the nine inch nails' song "just like you imagined" serving as the score), as i do every night for the past month. every night baby.
there is just something about this film man... i don't think i'm setting myself up for disappointment because damn it, yung trailer pa lang ulam na!
but if there's anything, i guess i must admit that king leonidas is one of the main draws. played by gerry butler (a bloke that i have a slight man crush on... really, that is friggin normal. have you seen the guy?!?!), leonidas embodies the masculinity that has become extinct in today's world. well, no, perhaps that type of masculinity has just evolved into something that would better fit our modern world. but leonidas and his ass kickin' personality (wild-eyed, emissary killing, shouting with rage and all) is archaic and really really out of place in today's world. he's laconic, passionate and a true spartan (malamang.). you need a lot of self-confidence for that (it probably helps that he's a king and he has a body to die for... pahawak lang ng pandesal man.), and this faith or belief that what you're doing is right. my golly, he takes on a million men (more like 20,000-200,000, as the real battle of Thermopylae's statistics would suggest) with only 300 of his Spartan soldiers! okay, as history would show, there were like, 2,000 more from other Greek tribes that helped defend the Hot Gates (as Thermplyae Pass was called... it was a very narrow valley, thus the effectiveness of just a few men), but those 2,000 ran when they got out flanked. Spartans were willing to die in battle! can i do that?
perhaps this is the reason why i'm so looking forward to 300. apart from the visually-stunning images, a musical score that kicks ass, well played performances by European actors (gerry butler, lena headey and other names... butler is Scottish while headey is english. iba talaga europeans and their thespic pursuits. however the question on my mind is this: can a commercial film such as this [that was based from a graphic novel] earn oscar nods? sana pare) and one of the greatest war stories ever told, 300 seems to offer an archetype of what men were before and the reason why women succumbed to the men's barbaric wishes and such:
they managed to look cool while wearing funky loincloths. you can't really say no to that man.
but again, to be serious, i am looking forward to this film because of many strong reasons, but this image of manhood attracts me. i know i probably wouldn't be able to do stuff they do (they were trained since they were what... 3? it's a different culture. but the focus and faith remains nonetheless) because that type of glory seems daunting. a certain amount of discipline is required that i could never grasp... those fuckers define the term dedication man. i don't think that the image of a true Spartan will suit me.
would probably trade my curiosity for that body though. geez i'm getting fat.

i recently drove the car under my parents permission from makati to the airport to pick up dad from his Cagayan de Oro trip. i did it again last Saturday, from Alabang to our house because dad wanted to sleep (which he never got around to doing since he kept telling me what to do while i was driving).
the old people or "gurangs" (term of endearment) have unbelievably enough, trusted me with driving duties. i feel myself maturing as i type. now all i need is an actual license (internalizing the notion that i have one doesn't make it real... too much entablado there mate) and i'm gonna be the errand boy: groceries, sundo, hatid, taga-park, taga-linis, etc. i'm actually looking forward to it. there's a sense of taking on responsibilities there that i have been craving for since... well, since i became errand boy and bought groceries from sta. lucia while commuting. and yes, cleaning the car. but that's more of a chore than a responsibility so scratch that.
however, i bet you that after 3 months of that crap i'm gonna be grumpy about that shit. redundant? whatever.

people have been badgering me to put some life into my multiply account. you have to understand that i only made that account to view my sister's site and get the fugue video from some girl who uploaded it on her multiply site. that's it.
pero sige, bata pa ako at pwede pang magpa peer pressure; i am currently spicing up my multiply site. belat. bago na namang internet addiction ito. weird since it had been a while since i posted something here. hindi naman dahil sa busy ako (although that is a legit reason: school, sidelines, enta play and helping danes graduate have cut my online time.) pero hindi ko na feel mag blog. nhux. drama. my writing has suffered though and i am really looking forward to a rebirth of sorts. thus the long post.

si sinag ay nasa bahay muli. he's my (our: danes is a co-parent) cat. he's 5 months i think and is a very weird cat. he likes to sleep on my bed and curl in my head. not hair. head. and he'd knead my chest when he sleeps on top of me. which is really fucked up because he has sharp claws and i have thin shirts when i sleep (sometimes no shirt at all. hello ladies. welcome to your nightmare) so... scars run rampant in my torso region. he also plays rough, so my hands, arms and feet have bite marks and scars from his claws. i am often isolated in jeepney rides because i think people see me as a guy who cuts himself to feel the rush. i see them looking at me, with my mangled hair (after shower hair for a kulot guy is fun. but not for a kulot guy with long har... it takes a while to dry so you can't really tie your hair. so i leave it hanging during jeepney rides. a portion gets dry and starts "fluffing" while a portion is still wet [usually the inside hair... i have levels in my hair... like, floors or layers. what the f man], so i still can't tie it. imagine that: a kid with adik hair who looks japanese but is moreno and has scars in his hands and arms. i haven't even counted the fact that my fashion sense reflects emo-like tendencies and/or 80's bad choices along with hippie-dom dreams. confused? so am i kid... so am i.) and add in my cuts: damn, a sight of pure massacre man. by the way, that must've been the longest parenthetic side comment in history.

a friend of mine told me however that his biggest fear is not running out of water during his shower but rather after every buhos because the cold kind of creeps up his skin when the water sheets run down. it is a scary thought really, and when i do take my showers in the morning (with my pinakulong tubig homogeneously mixed with my cold tap water), i kind of feel what he was talking about. and it does bother you to the point that you become scared to splash yourself with another round, and you end up trying to figure out a way to lessen the travel time of the soap from the soap dish to your body (this requires quick reflexes, strong arm muscles and a bit of endurance because when the soap does arrive at your skin, you have to move it around quickly so that the lather covers your body up: in my bathroom, it makes perfect sense).
certain strategies may make taking showers more complicated but i suppose this has become mandatory: our bodies cannot cope with the changing weather, and i think i speak for every Filipino that Januaries (don't bother my spelling, i kind of like it... i'm not even sure if that thing's wrong) are supposed to be the transition to summer days: even when December climate lingers on a few occasions, days are supposed to become hotter. that's probably why i'm left with much speculation on where these ambidextrous days have gone. i have always counted on these days. they give leisurely strolls an added excitement because they seem to make you take a single speed: if you move too fast, you will sweat, but if you move too slow, you will feel a bit of the breeze's bite. it also seems beneficial if you have those large, egg-like earphones as you're walking this way because your coolness factor goes up when you walk like this while having them around your neck (listening is not necessary and i think is even avoided because these earphones really eliminate sound and thus increase the level of danger). i saw this in John Cusack's film "High Fidelity" as he was making his way to his record store. even when he had those tight pants and black basketball shoes, he came off as a guy you would entrust an intellectual conversation to (the jacket and button-down shirt probably helped too. and perhaps his bag, albeit subtly). and so when these days went off somewhere else, i had my own version of withdrawal symptoms: where have these days gone?
i have this theory about the weather today and it involves the assimilation of the weather to our culture. you see, the weather here hangs out occasionally in Aling Oliva's sari-sari store and often converses with the tambays and drunks. seeing that they were able to live contentedly while keeping their pH balance close to 6.3 (i have forgotten chemistry, this seems like a punch at the moon reference) and forgetting to keep their words, the weather wanted to try out this lifestyle (being drunk every night or every morning, and oftentimes both, does sound inviting at certain points in time) in hopes of forgetting how it is often hated by many. perhaps it may also be the fact that it wanted to try something new, as meteorological advances have placed weather from a benevolent force of nature to a benevolent force of nature... that is boring. predictability has made the weather a middle-aged man working a 9 to 5. i guess it's going through a midlife crisis (thus the lifestyle change. it's simply psychology). so the weather started hanging out more with the drunks and tambays (last i heard, the weather can now handle his liquor quite well, unlike the first few times when it could only take 3 shots of gin bilog, then profusely thank the ground for catching his subsequent fall. the chaser was water, and the weather seemed to get rid of it quickly. however, in much the case of every alcohol drinker in the world, tolerance is developed through constant vigilance), drinking the night/morning/day away with much candor and noise as the next guy. the weather fell into a nice rhythm and found a niche with his brothers-in-tanggaan.
the weather heard a lot of shit from his wife. he wasn't home by 10, and he left his clothes around the house, not bothering to clean up. so the shit was justified, make no mistake about that. but as the days wore on and his schedule centered more on his drinking sessions, the wife stopped waiting for him and opted instead to focus on cleaning her husband's soiled clothes. soon, she stopped cleaning all together.
however, the weather has gotten accustomed to his new lifestyle and is enjoying himself immensely. i suppose at this point, he realized that Filipino time allows Filipinos to be late. they do happen to have lazy weather (as Jawa Einziger puts it). i don't really think the weather realizes that he was talking about himself at that juncture.
that's my theory. the weather is under the influence of alcohol and under the effects of Filipino time. it holds little weight, and would probably sink under fire, but how else can you explain our eccentric weather? global warming? myth! truth lies in the beholder.
heaven knocks on hell's kitchen.
never be late for anything.

light as a feather, as fragile as a bee.
it took all my strength not to squash her inside tongues rolling in fire, holding my breath as it breathed precariously close to a seaside residue
overtaking that of whatever fortitude i had in mind.
i tried to find why her left eye was somewhere else.
blind as a cat.
laid in unrests.
it couldn't open its eyes. it could of course, make the sound cats make with different levels of affection, of loss, waiting for whistles that
hatch in midsummer day, conditioning the notion that somewhere
mothers suckle at something else.
it made its way up my shirt, talons in a heartfelt fury for anything that required nothing less that the offer of attention; hear the roar of its little
grunts, hearing different patterns that mouth in my belly like synchronized pangs of guilt and passion.
its chest pounded up and down the stairs while it beat down my aging heart, crumpling in a sack of knees and beats that
have eruded over
foliage
of a deeper shade of shit.
it fell, right into me and i took it into my arms as we sped our way down the fastest route of love, when even mountains and caverns bow
down to the power that this eruption cannot hold, swallowing each and every microcosm that the world can ever provide.
it was between us and the world baby, and i couldn't wait because i waited
i cradled life like i cradled life and wished that this moment was never born
because true enough,
its dirtied face, the clumps of crap that seemed to have embeded themselves to its skin, how intoxicatingly
beautiful this fragile piece of eternity was, hearing me as i screamed for mercy and forgiveness,
hoping against hope that somewhere in the big black sky,
while the world sat idly by, kicking itself in the nuts holding pee in and never letting go of the feeling of being fucked.
sneaking past the most massive assholes one will ever see, ready to suck you in like a black hole that has no mass, just pure energy
that relegates itself for the destruction of others and dying silently as they move to and fro the universe, not having any light of day
nor darkness of a moonlit night.
romance be damned, condemn the beasts that ensnared us into the useless hooligans we never could be.
it arrived, was placed in a box that cannot contain its beauty, its paradoxical naiveness. the breasts and the breasts.
it went this way and that, held itself in a moment that even the air stooped to let its flight of feet come together and create the most beautiful
somber, simple parameters of such unequalled taste and circumstance float off into the yellow
universe
even the sun was not worthy of the time of such delicacy.
its loving void,
i had to wait, serve and protect, collect and interpret placing her onto the box that once held so much, now looking so little,
i mistook her shoe for a clue.
radical
dared allowed not because she wanted it, but because she deserved it. it couldn't have been any other. the
weather was conclusive and the hearth frothed over with the love felt. in the morning, it came, the sense of purity that
cannot be held back by pulleys or battering rams, that which cannot be savored by a million taste buds nor digested by eighty-three stomachs.
name,
opened her eye.
the right one.
and into it i saw how beautiful life has become, extraordinary in its becoming and
joint, my soul seemed to have found its way scampering for a place in that face, going for glory
and losing all control.
strangers in love, i have become its most treasured possesion, Tala my most important perrogative.
and in a width of a stretched finger,
Tala tried to climb into my hair, trying to find my heart, hoping to puncture it and erase itself from my memories, from my outpouring
bigotry and still she grew fonder of me,
entire time waiting for a way to tell her that everything will be alright, how i promised her that dandelions would never even get a chance to kill her with their rotting blades, and that in a labyrinth of wicked brackisness,
i would be there with her, screaming through tears and unwavering dedication that the place for her was beside me.
i promised her a world that could be seen through the right eye.
revenge. the night wore on and amidst my howling....
i lost my beloved cat. Tala rejoined the beauty lost to everyone else, thanking me perhaps for giving her a chance to shine even without the
glow of her whiskers that pounced on my face with such blessedness that i could have cried
have i not noted that there would be others.
corrupting her naivete ways. it dawned on my starlit pinnacle of canvas that i knew would end but not now, hopefully not now.
on its travel as it shot towards eternity.
it was i who gave her flight.
into an unfolding mass of blight and contempt.
silver that kills werewolves, that stalks purses with clubs and rainmakers. for a piece of peace to please
the peas.
with her crooked face,
a melted cheek
her infetisimal body , i, wishing for rest for a lovely alley cat that only wanted to see
how beautiful the sky could be.

Repost with what you got as the title.

1.A musical movement in which a definite number of parts or voices combine in stating or developing a single theme, the interest being cumulative.
2.the individual wanders away from usual surroundings and has loss of memory.
3.A polyphonic composition that makes systematic use of imitation, usually based on a single subject, and that opens with a series of exposed entries on that subject.
4.a dreamlike state of altered consciousness that may last for hours or days
5.from Fugere, Latin for flight
from Merriam-Webster (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=f
Main Entry: fugue
Pronunciation: 'fyüg
Function: noun
Etymology: probably from Italian fuga flight, fugue, from Latin, flight, from fugere
1 a : a musical composition in which one or two themes are repeated or imitated by successively entering voices and contrapuntally developed in a continuous interweaving of the voice parts b : something that resembles a fugue especially in interweaving repetitive elements
2 : a disturbed state of consciousness in which the one affected seems to perform acts in full awareness but upon recovery cannot recollect the acts performed
- fugue verb
- fugu·ist /'fyü-gist/ noun
also, from Alpha Dictionary (http://www.alphadictionary.com/goodword/w
Meaning: 1. (Music) A musical structure in which a theme is extended and developed mainly by imitative counterpoint (combining two distinct lines) in different voices. 2. (Psychology) A state of altered consciousness in which a person wanders away from their present life and begins a new one. After recovery, there is no memory of the fugue episode.
Notes:
This past summer, an 80-page draft of Ludwig von Beethoven's Grosse Fugue for Piano for Four Hands, written in Beethoven's own hand, was discovered in a drawer at a Philadelphia seminary. It is expected to fetch between $1.7 and $2.6 million at auction next month. You can hear the new piece at the NPR website. Fugal is the adjective, fugally, the adverb, and Bach was a better fuguist, composer of fugues, than was Beethoven.
In Play: There is little you can say about fugues; it is best to listen to them. Bach probably wrote the best. There is room to play with the psychological sense of this word: "Every time anything goes wrong in the office, Arthur seems to be off on a fugue and can't remember anything about the problem when he returns."
Word History: Today's Good Word was taken pretty much 'as is' from French, who got it from Latin fuga "flight". The Latin verb was fugere "to flee", closely related to Greek feugein "to flee". The Latin verb is also the origin of our word fugitive. You might have heard the Latin verb in the phrase tempus fugit, close in meaning to English "time flies", as in "Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like an apple."

i liked fell.
experimentego was gracious enough to let me borrow the first four issues of this new series. it was enthralling. it wasn't the best comic i've read; but the characters were real and lovable. Rich Fell is smart but tired. he's an edgier and more down-to-earth sherlock holmes.
Ellis is a great writer. he's british so he makes everyone around him feel stupid while he can blabber on about inconsequential stuff and sound academic.
Ben Templesmith has cute characters that become dark figures when the going gets tough. the damn nun is adorable.
overall, i like the concept of this comic more than the comic itself. it allows poor people like me (heck, i'm not even in that demographic... i don't buy comics, i borrow them... how does that come off?) to get a "real slab of literature (or culture... what the hell was it...?), as Ellis himself implies.
Matthew puts it nicely when he said: "Ellis is intoxicated with the strangeness of the real world..." yada yada, something or other (i'm not good with memory... i'm alzheimer's bound) because the topics discussed are all real, either modern or old (from bomb-making from the internet to fetuses as protective talismans), Ellis makes them all come out in his 9-panel grid. in 16 pages, that's (i hate math) 144 panels or less (often less). that's a whole lotta editing of sublots and other crap man. and Ellis swore that in 16 pages, you'll get your money's worth of one complete story (although the fourth issue left me high and dry...) and some new information about our great world.
thanks for the find Matthew.

the world can be unforgiving
you've been to overcrowded places
sometimes, it's just too much to take
but we can handle it
you don't even have to worry about us baby
just take off your shoes
i'll put on some blues
and then we're gonna swim the night away
come into the water
now isn't this nice
it's a bit cold, but it's all right
just put your cares away
and let nature go on it's own pace
we're under the stars
amidst jupiter and mars
so i think we just gotta take it easy
take it easy
come into the water
sometimes we have to sit and pray
to resist the temptation that others lay
we're in a place where everything's a race
wouldn't it be nice to lower the pace?
just sit down, have a drink
get a moment to think
share a glass, get some class
without hiding the crass
be at one with the sun
and absorb all the fun
command some respect
without handing neglect
to those who need it most...
people, let's give em a toast!
so i guess what i'm trying to say is
that life is a spark that goes out in the dark
it be best to think that our life is a link
to others so don't delay
you better thank the gods for another day
and what we get is what we bet
and what we bet is what we pet
and what we pet is what we fret
and what we fret is what we get

If this world were mine, I'd place at your feet
All that I own; you've been so good to me
If this world were mine
I'd give you the flowers, the birds and the bees
For with your love inside me, that would be all I need
If this world were mine
I'd give you anything
ikaw:
If this world were mine, I'd make you a king
With wealth untold, you could have anything
If this world were mine
I'd give you each day so sunny and blue
If you wanted the moonlight, I'd give you that too
If this world were mine
I'd give you anything
ako:
Oh baby, you're my consolation
And there's no hesitation
When you want me, honey, just call me
ikaw:
And honey, you're my inspiration
And there's so much sensation
When I'm in your arms, when you squeeze me
ako:
And the sky would be blue
As long as you're lovin' me
ikaw:
With you here in my arms
Life is so wonderful

Give me pretty lovin', baby
Give me pretty lovin', honey
Keep on lovin' me
You know I need you, baby
Really, really need you, baby

i often wonder what would happen to the world if everyone never grasped the concept of a future. would there be less violence when people suddenly live for the now? which train of thought would dominate the other: the thought of world peace or world domination? clearly, it is not a fine line, but we're all moving at one thing or another aren't we? success in financial or social terms is defined by domination over one's profession or heaven forbid, other people. world peace is achieved through harmonious living, something very rare, even impossible. i dare say, some people are trying to achive such a feat but in a society ruled by hegemony and social classes (redundant ba? hmm.. hegemony = ruling class. social classes... oo nga. teka.) competition, can there really be harmony when we all want to get to the top?
what really melts your butter would be the paradoxical aspect of it all. we all want to live harmoniously and to do that, one must be successful because without money, there is no harmony for anybody. we all need money. to buy rice. to buy clothes. to buy greeting cards. it is this tantalizing idea that baffles me to no end. why must we be slaves to pieces of paper? are we not more powerful? isn't the human condition more complex than an amount? why did we even invent something that apparently, would turn on us and enslave us for the rest of our lives? whoever created the invention of currency must have had a demonic sense of humor.
recognition is attained by standing out amongst one's peers and respected by most. the rewards are paramount. trust, respect, the works. another would be the confidence, the charm factor and of course, the possible profits one gains when recognized. somehow, karl marx was right. man is predicted through economical manipulation.
come to think of it, one doesn't really need to take an archaic look on things. one just needs to take P100 and try surviving on it for a day. try to imagine what it would feel like to take a jeep not because of choice but of need. to not eat a P60 meal because it is worth too much. drink from the water fountain instead of buying your favorite beverage.
perhaps what really bugs me about the whole concept of money, is that i cannot really know why there was a sudden need to place a price on everything. true, the value of a commodity is there for the people who spent great deals of time and energy to make it accesible and ready-to-use for the modern day consumer. the technology, the vast strides made in understanding the world has all boiled down to the possibility of choosing diet coke or pinapple juice in a can. these are some of the reasons of quantifying an objects value.
again, let me ask: what would happen to the world if everyone never grasped the concept of a future? what if everyone viewed the next moment as the last? there is no tomorrow for we do not know what tomorrow means. would it be possible... that we put aside our differences, be it religious, racial, hegemonial (oo, nagsusubok akong gumawa ng sarili kong salita. may problema?!) or even be physical, can we all just get along, stop this rat race we call social living and start treating each other with a little more love?
wishful thinking, i know.
i really do believe the person who came up with the words, "money is the root of all evil" was a flat broke writer.

kulang ako sa work ethic.
kulang ako sa interest sa academics.
pero ang pinakanakakatakot na kakulangan ko ay:
kulang ako sa pera.

lugi ang mahirap sa ating lipunan. sobrang swerte naman ng mayayaman. hala bakit?
ang ating konstitusyon at mga tradisyon ay nagbibigay ng straktura kung saan ang mayayaman ay lalong yayaman, ang mahihirap ay lalong hihirap.
kunin ang halimbawa ng mga magsasaka. dahil sa kanilang kakulangan sa pagaaral, nanakaw ang kanilang mga lupain at napunta ito sa isang tao na walang karapatan sa lugar na iyon. mayroong mga kontratista na kumukuha ng mga magsasaka upang magtrabaho para sa nasabing may ari ng lupain. ano pa ba ang gagawin ng magsasaka? subalit ang sistema ay nagpapatupad ng kawalan ng hustisya dahil bago matapos ang trabaho ng mga magsasaka, sandamukal na ng utang ang kanilang nalikom mula sa kontratista na nagtratrabaho para sa may ari ng lupain. pagnatapos ang trabaho, ang magsasaka ay magbabayad ng utang. mas malaki na ito kaysa sa kanyang sweldo. yayaman ang kontratista dahil sa mga utang ng magsasaka. yayaman ang may ari ng lupain dahil sa trabaho na ginawa ng mga magsasaka. ang magsasaka ay mas hihirap dahil wala na nga siyang pera, may utang pa siya. paano sisirain ang sistemang ito?
hulaan mo.

ayoko ng pakiramdam na walang pera.
ayoko ng pakiramdam na dukha.
ayoko ng pakiramdam na madumi pala ang mukha ko at kailangang linisin.
puno ako ng blackheads at whiteheads.
hindi ko to alam.

gusto kong mapitik ang siyang pinagkait ng langit.
gusto kong maasam ang siyang nilalaman ng langgam.
gusto kong madapa, gusto kong masipa, gusto kong maabot ang siyang nakakatakot, gusto kong humiyaw gusto kong luminaw.
gusto kong makita ang siyang tinatago ng paligo.
gusto kong mahuli ang siyang inaapi ng salapi.
gusto kong lumipad, gusto ko sa alapaap.
pero hindi pwede dahil alam ko na hindi ako parang tutubi na malinis ang mga pakpak, dahil ako'y watak-watak. maniwala sa aking sinasabi na malinis ang aking budhi subalit puno ang mundo ng gulo na hindi tumitigil sa pagiging mausyoso. ang ating utak ay sinasabaw ng otap.
gusto kong makamit ang siyang pinagkait ng langit.
