dar, buying master eskinol in a sari-sari store:

dar: "magkano po?"
tindera: "twinti-i"
dar [to self]: (twenty?) -hands over one twenty peso bill. waits...-
tindera: -looks at dar- "twinti-i po"
dar: -puzzled- "ah? ayan twenty..."
tindera: "twinti-i"
dar: -frowns-thinks- "ah... twenty-eight."

nyehehehehe. i have one big fun -flipped- family. :)

mosh pit. not dance floor.

[i never thought nu-listener-taray-tigasin-macho-fast-driving-boss-girl would bounce... no... dance to disco music. wahu!!! hahahahaha!!!]

no... nobody can make me move in a dance floor. well... maybe if the crowd was different... or the event... or maybe if i had a round... or two... or three... of beer.

because beer is food and life is good. -baboysai.

i'm growing old i'm growing old i'm growing old i'm growing old i'm growing old i'm growing old i'm growing old...

before... i get invitations to attend friends' birthday parties. the ones with cakes with super sugary icing and the ones with flowers... and the sunny orange juice... and the hotdogs on sticks with marshmallows at one end and they are all stuck in a half-cabbage and the party favors and all... sometimes there would be clowns... and the balloons!!! you just have to take one home... and then you're glad because you got to the nice big blue balloon first and you didn't have to take a pink one home... because nobody wants to take home a pink one... except for the girls... and it's really sad because you'd ask an adult to tie the balloon to your wrist but then sometimes they'd do a lousy job of tying it to your hand and then while you're playing with the other kids after the party, the balloon would... fly away. and then you;d have to settle for a pink one. but then again it's better than no balloon at all. then when you get home you'd put away the balloon somewhere safe... like inside the storage... and then after around 2 weeks you'd find out that the balloon has decided to die and deflated itself.

then... i got invitations to go to friends' birthday blowouts. you go out. eat some lunch... or dinner... then do something else... like watch a movie... or play arcade games... then go home.

then... i got invitations to go to friends' debut. party party. dance dance. wear formal wear [?] [i really don't like wearing formal attire... if i had the choice... i wouldn't].

then... recently... i've been seeing a lot of wakes and funerals.

soon... i'd be invited to my friends' graduation parties... then weddings... then baptism of their children...

it scares me. somehow. @_@

but tonight!
take me to a daaaaance!!!
take me to the dance floooooor!!!

okay. i just invented that. hehe. *toink* [<-nakiki-uso] bakit may fireworks display ang arki week ng UST? sa atin wala? kaya vote crystal TAL ventura for asc councilor. haha. labo.

take me to the dance floooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor!!!

the night of the uruk-hai.

yup. they were there. many of them. around 15000 in attendance. and there were many more outside the fences. the uruk-hai crowd. black-shirt people. mga hari ng metal. mga kampon ni jr munda. haha. biro lang.

it's a bit eerie, seeing all of these people wearing black, moving as one. it's hipnotic at some point. it's really a different culture.

[that's what i was going to write before... but that was one week ago already. hehe. basta, madami silang nandun, naka-costume pa. wala lang.]

it's just too bad we didn't catch the "rakestra" performance in rakestra. because we had to do our plate. pero oks lang. maganda kasi yung plate namin. haha. as in maganda. nyehehehehe.

but really... i think we did well in that plate. kahit na late. hehe. :) i should have taken pictures of it before submitting it...

"you're just a little pig in a big city!"
-ferdinand the duck, babe 2

we were just talking a while ago about what kinds of animals we want to take as pets. i want a panda. or a tarsier. but that species is endangered already. i also want a chameleon. wuhu! i don't like monkeys. hehe. i can take any other animal except monkeys. they're sly... and scheming... and ugly. wahahaha. except for tarsiers.

"saging lang kami!!!"

wahahahaha!!! saging lang kami!!! saging lang kami!!! wahahahahahahahaha!!!

gusto ko ng laptop. hehe. wala lang. luho lang. pero magagamit na luho. hehe.

[wuhu!!! may bagong laruan ako!!! .3 na mechanical pencil!!! yehey!!!]

"tendentendentendentendentenden tumbumtumbumtumbumtumbumtumbum brrr brrr bssh tumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdum trrr brrr bssh" -habang kinakanta ang modern moonlight ng the dresden dolls. kung alam niyo yung song... ganyan yung tunog niya. hehe.

ay... may naalala akong joke ni baboysai nung isang beses:
Q: anong tawag sa taong nasagasaan ng pison?
A: bobo. kasi ambagal na nga ng pison, masasagasaan pa siya

Q: anong tawag sa mga taong nakabisekletang nakakabangga ng mga taong tumatawid?
A: bobo. kasi anlaki-laki na nga nung tao, babanggain pa.

Q: anong tawag sa mga taong nababangga ng bisekleta habang sila ay tumatawid?
A: gwa................................................................go. gwago.

*toink*
[magtrabaho ka na...]

call it what you like, but this is all i have to say:

nyehehehehe. yeba. enjoy.

instead of sleeping that much needed sleep, or instead of doing that [insert cuss word]-ing plate, i chose to write. yehey!

because cheska and me have watched my neighbor totoro and you can just go see baboysai's review of it [i think she made a review]. i also thought of doing one, but... no. just go to baboysai's. hehe. but the movie was so much fun. hehe. when it finished, i thought the story was kind of... pointless... i waited for that cruel twist in the story; some events lead me to expect something nasty, but it didn't happen. haha. but that's okay... we had fun anyway :3

what would you do if some big hairy fuzzy animal-like spirit with a big green leaf on his head stand beside you at a bus stop on a rainy evening? you go talk to that spirit! and you lend that spirit your extra umbrella. because it's fun. :3

we also watched pom poko. yay! but it got pretty heavy towards the end... zzzz...

today was amusing. hehe. we never thought a guy like sir bula... -ehem- like sir poli would be that game. haha. RAGE ROLL!!! sir's cool. and rac's a jumping giggly girl on a rave.

i'd like to say that you can go see pictures of sir Gerard's exhibit opening here but that link doesn't even work. because i haven't uploaded anything yet. because i'm too sleepy right now. and i need sleep. and there are just too many things happening. and i'm excited about a few things. but i really don't know why. or which things for that matter... zzzz... ow... fair na pala. wiii!!!

i think i've been reading too much stuff lately... or i think it's just the lonely wee hours of the morning... or it's just i want to stay awake because sleep is calling to me... precious precious sleep...

i've read in a friend's web log... about this friend... well... about a certain incident. i've realized long ago... never to walk in anyone's shadow. haha. no. i've realized before that yea... life is too short to be wasted on things you'd only soon regret [wait... that's not what i want to say...]. life's just too unpredictable. that's it.

back when i was in highschool, i had to cross katipunan avenue twice a day, everyday [well, i suppose not every day]. there used to be a pedestrian lane in front of the school gate, and being the idealistic me, i used to cross that pedestrian lane without giving much care if the vehicles were speeding from both directions. well... i've always thought that i was in the right way and if ever they hit me... it would be their fault. because they didn't slow down for me when they can already see that there was someone standing in front of the freakin' large white stripes. well... good thing i wasn't hit at all in all my highschool life. now looking back on it... i now feel stupid. hehe.

because i still want to do MUCH MUCH MORE things in this life! i have places to go! there are many things that await me!!!

once, i thought of making a "to-do-list" together with a "to-acquire-list". okay... so i listed down a few things... after around three months... i've done some things and acquired some things listed on the list... and i've also listed down additional items. but then... i was doing and acquiring more than i was adding to the list. i know it sounds stupid, but i stopped doing the list... becuase i was too afraid to be taken the moment i've accomplished everything on the list.

haha. *toink*toink*
now i just keep my dreams in my head.

it feels less organized, yes. but i don't mind. much. i know i'm headed somewhere, i just don't know... where. but if life is one great big adventure trip, i won't mind the detours. i don't mind getting lost. because i learn more. i see more places. and get to meet more people. to those of you who like to live life in tha fast lane... well, i don't know... wear your seatbelts?

[bakit nga ba ako biglang nagsulat?... right] i don't want to die anytime soon. i don't want to die yet. haha. because i still have my dreams. and i still have many places to go. and many things to do. and because i [] this []. wuhu! haha. :3

i've once read somewhere that dreams can only take you so far... you have to remember to keep using your feet to get going. ow... wait. i just made that up. ehehe.

right... back to work.

my recent internet game addiction. hehe. [try it!]
just don't mind the... erm... "pictures" on the right side of the page.
yehey!!!

life lesson #8912373:

don't presume.

-bow-

wuhu!!!

okay. first review. [yehey!]

the [fhm] calendar tells me we only have a few days [week[s]] left to do our design plate, and to help set my brain gears to work again, i borrowed this much recommended [anime] movie from baboysai [who, by the way, already did a fantastic review of the movie on her site. just go there... if you know her url. hehe].

i wouldn't have bothered watching it, but then it was directed by hayao miyazaki; same person who directed "spirited away" "howl's moving castle" and many more. and yeah, maybe i thought "whisper of the heart" will give my brain that much needed creativity boost.

see, i expected a lot of... err... fantasy "elements" from this movie [i thought hayao movies are suppose to be like that: walking castles, witches, masked-spirits; twisted imaginative stuff [thought i could get inspiration from...]; but then again, i forgot he also directed "grave of the fireflies" [which.... i haven't finished yet. because it's soooo freakin' saaaad!!!] which is about two siblings during the world war]. okaaay... so i put the disc on, watched it for around 20mins [i fell asleep the first time i watched it. hehe] and like baboysai, i also waited for that portal-to-the-other-dimension to open. but "alas", it didn't.

however, i wasn't disappointed at all. when the movie finished, my brain muttered something like "tsk tsk... these kids... :) [but they're so young!]" [yes, complete with a smiley]. it's type was far from the hayao movies i know [not that i know many. hehe]. and you can just insert baboysai's review of the movie here because i think i feel the same way as her. haha.

[why am i doing this again?...] right. "country road" got my [cat] hair standing up. sa filipino, kinilabutan ako. haha. why of all songs, it has to be that one? it was weird hearing it when the movie started playing [because i didn't expect the movie to use an english song]. but i have to admit that the scene where they sang and played it really felt warm and [sincere]. :3 maybe because i want to play and sing music that way: spontaneous [i remember having this weird dream / fantasy of playing with those street jammers / beggars / visually impaired.]

ooookay. right. the movie's attention to the details were really superb. it's almost like watching real live acting except that it isn't [huh? #-o]. it didn't leave out those minute movements / actions a person does in a normal life. like... say... fumbling for the light switch... or giving way to a person going down the stairs... things that they could have edited out anyway... but they didn't. but that's a good thing because those little things made the movie so... for lack of a better word, realistic.

i want to have a cat like moon. because he's so fat. and round. not like our graying old cat which was white and orange back when he was still young but you can't really tell what color he once was right now because he is just so dirty but then he's old so maybe we thought he's too old to clean himself. tama.

i didn't get any creativity boost. but that's okay. i feel good after watching the movie. better get some sleep. <-O i give the movie a rating of 10 [yehey!]

[who reads these things anyway?]
