Kami lang ata ang household sa balat ng saging na nagbibigay ng pangalan sa mga "kasama" sa bahay.

Para sa butiki, VITAMIN (pron. bee-tah-MIN). Napulot ko lang to sa isang YAOI porn (redundant.....) manga. It stuck.

Para sa daga, SCABBERS. Ang hindi maka-gets, ang tibay mo dahil di ka pa nagbabasa ng kahit isang Harry Potter book. Mag-usap tayo.

Para sa ipis, PAPA ROACH. Duh.

Yan pa lang yung nagagawan namin ng names.

Oo, pathetic. Alam kong mas maraming pwedeng pagsayangan ng mura at blog entry, BUT STILL. At least di naman racist or sexist yung sinusulat ko *cough cough*

Pero $&*((@&()@*^(%*^&*#^ shibal yan o. Sold out na sa dvdheaven yung All About Dong Bang Shin Ki Season 2 DVD na inaabangan ko. Dapat pala bumili na ako nung may pagkakataon ako. Bwisit, dun pa naman pinakamura. Meron pa sa ibang online stores, pero pakshet, mahal na nga yung item, mahal pa shipping. CRAP.

Sa totoo lang, I have no one to really blame but myself. Kasi nung nagpaikot ng wishlist yung company namin, an INFINITESIMAL part of me thought na ibibigay talaga yung wish namin. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER, given our management's reputation. Nagsabi ng ganito, rarely magagawa. Kung meron man, late pa. Haaay, PAASA pa kasi. Ako naman, gaga, umasa naman.

Inisip ko rin, baka magmilagro at may magregalo saken nun on Christmas. ASA naman.

Nakakainis talaga. Ngayon, hihintayin ko pang makapunta ako ng Malaysia or Korea bago ako makabili.

P.S.

Hindi ako nagpaparinig or anything, pero kung may mano-norpresa jan, HIGHLY APPRECIATED AND I LOVE YOU FOR LIFE.

...is the YunhoxJaejoong couple a little cold these days?

OMO, since the MKMF, they haven't done much fanservice. This one here is probably the latest and it's pretty tame. More importantly, it's one-sided! Yunho mentions Jaejoong as this year's MVP, but Jaejoong chooses Yoochun and Yoochun chooses Jaejoong! I like SoulMate and all but it was Yunho and Jaejoong that got me liking DBSK couples so...

Also do listen to the Bigeastation #90. Junsu mentions Jaejoong in a passing comment and Yunho cuts him off with something like, "Yeah, we know, shut up." A part of me looks at it positively, but for the most part I have a vague suspicion that something's amiss.

Wah. OMO.

Nag-offer yung student ko na papuntahin ako ng Korea, imbes na siya yung pumunta rito. Actually, mas mura yun para sa kanila. Ang laki ng matitipid nila sa living expenses, kasi imbes na doble pa yung gastos nila kasi para sa family at dun sa expat, konting dagdag na lang para dun sa pupunta dun.

Kung wala lang akong full-time job, naiwang papers at research project, papatusin ko yun. At kung medyo stable ang economy ng Korea, papatusin ko yun. Ang hirap mag-isa sa foreign country na wala kang resources no. Visa, papers, pera, pera, pera. Pera, pera, pera, pera.

Pera.

Pera.

Pera.

Pera.

Pera.

Pera.

Pera.

Pera.

Pera.

Pera.

It's starting to lose its meaning.

Nung isang linggo, papunta ako ng UP-MSI for a meeting at 3pm. Alas dos ang labas ng trabaho ko, at manggagaling pa ako ng Ortigas, kaya naisip kong mag MRT + taxi.

Wala naman akong naging problema sa taxi. Siningil ako nang maayos, pinag-seatbelt, di naman siguro nadaya sa pamasahe or sa daan. Pero may sinabi yung driver na medyo kakaiba.

MANONG: Madalas ka bang mag-taxi?
AKO: Ay, hindi po, nagdyi-dyip po ako. Nagmamadali lang po ako ngayon kaya ako nagtaxi.
MANONG: Aaaahhhh...kasi kadalasan, sa likod umuupo yung mga babaeng pasahero ko, eh.

Ako naman, kapag nagta-taxi mag-isa, sa harap ako umuupo kapag wala akong masyadong dala. Nung kasal ng tita ko at galing din akong opisina, sa likod ako umupo kasi ang dami kong dala. Gusto ko kasi sa harap umupo kasi may seatbelt, di madaling mabiktima ng Ipit Gang, di madaling mabiktima ng mga driver na medyo manyak at naninilip via rear-view mirror, madaling bumaba, may erkon, etc. In short, maraming perks.

Ito ang tanong ko: Saan nga ba ako dapat umupo pag nagtataxi? Pati nga ba sa pag-upo sa taxi, kailangan may gender politics involved? Hmmmmmm.....

OK, back to work.

New multiply theme. More mirotic. Hehehehehe.

Ay, ta. Ang mga album titles ngayon. Rainism. Hyorish. Mirotic. Joskolord. Nope, that last one is not an album title.

May mga nakalimutan ako ilagay dun sa mga una kong post eh.

무슨 (moo-seun)- I actually don't know how to translate this exactly. Pero napulot ko siya sa Danghyunaji nina Junsu sa XMAN 69. Dun sa vid na napanood ko, ang translation niya ay 'Whatever'. Sa ZKorean dictionary, 'some' (as in, 'some person' -.-). Ang intindi ko sa paggamit nito ay, something like, "my ass" or sa Tagalog, "mukha mo".

             Ex.인기 무슨 - inki mooseun= fame whatever= fame my ass = fame mo mukha mo. This was actually used by Micky Yoochun dun sa same Danghyunaji Episode.

X- refers to 'tae'. Napulot sa Happy Together feb. 28, 2008 episode. Hahaha, Park Myung Soo! XD

            Ex. Haay, nako, may hindi nag-flush ng X ha! Ambaho! (potah, pag nangyari to sa bahay, kami ng isa kong kapatid ang mamamatay kasi katabi ng kama namin ang banyo. X)

ㅋㅋㅋ (k k k) - korean 'hehehe' chuckling sound.

           Ex. ㅋㅋㅋ Bukas zipper mo.

All for now. ^^

...you are so forcing me.

Alam mo, isa kang malaking AMPALAYA. Kulubot, green, at BITTER. Sino ka para magsalita tungkol sa buhay sa UP? ARE YOU LIVING IT? Palibhasa di ka pumasa eh. Marami akong gustong sabihin sa'yo, pero since may mas matatalino sa akin, hahayaan ko nang sila na ang mambalahura sa iyo.

Hoy, wag ka magtago sa blog mong bulok. Kung itatago mo sa sarili mo yang blog mo, ay bwisit, wag ka na magsayang ng Web space at wag mo na isulat at all. Nakakaistorbo pa sa pagdo-download ko ng DBSK eh.

Kung may takot ka sa Diyos, aba'y matakot ka nga. Pag-isipan mo yang mga pinagsasasabi mo. Yan ba ang standards of morality ng RELIGION mo? I don't even want to associate my religion with yours, sorry. Kung yan ang concept mo of religion, wag na lang.

I won't even call you intelligent. I won't dignify your stupid blogs with my comments. Isa kang kaawa-awang AMPALAYA. Sila na ang bahala sa iyo.

Don't force my hand. Mas gusto kong magdownload ng DBSK kesa pag-aksayahan ka ng brain cells.

LANDIAN moments part DEUX. Medyo tame ang landian kasi kakagaling lang ni student sa blind date. Hahaha. Bwiset.

(Student and teacher doing an activity in the book about studying English. There are questions about the student's English class and the student answers them.)

STUDENT: (reads the question) What is your teacher's name? She...teacher's name is Satsuki.

TEACHER: Oh, are you sure? (laughs at student's mispronunciation)

STUDENT: Yah, she's very pretty.

TEACHER: (bursts out laughing) Oooh~~ how do you know that?

STUDENT: Just...I guess.

TEACHER: Ahh...wrong guess, sorry. Very wrong.

STUDENT: (laughs out loud) Ah~ that's too bad.

TEACHER: Yeah...OK, next question. ^^

TEACHER : How about your other plans?

STUDENT: I don't have any plans, just...now, the only thing I wanna do is to talk with you.

TEACHER: Wowww~~~ wow, that's very good. Because I miss talking to you too. It's been a very long while, I think.

-----------

S: First, do you have boyfriend? Now?

T: NO! One big NO. Why do you ask?

S: Just...I thought... when I hear to your voice, I thought, maybe you have a lot of boyfriends.

T: *laugh* Really?

S: Because your voice is very kind.

T: Oh, kind.

S: Maybe you can make someone happy. Or relaxed.

T: So, is that how I make you feel?

S: Huh?

T: Is that how you feel when you talk to me? You feel relaxed?

S: Yup.

T: Good, I'm glad to know that. *laugh si student* But unfortunately, it's just you. With other people, I don't think so.

S: Really?

T: Yeah, too bad.

SO CALLING ALL BOYLETS, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO MY KIND VOICE. Mabighani kayo sa aking KINDness. Hahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahaha.

I was barely three years old when my younger sister died. She was a little over a month old then. I didn't cry during the wake. I didn't cry during the burial. Maybe it's because she had a twin sister anyway, and that twin lived, so the impact of the loss was cushioned by that fact. Since then, I have never really cried at a funeral. I think it's unfair not to have cried at my sister's funeral and then cry at someone who's not as closely related. And I think I've always been thinking, "Oh, they're still there, anyway. We can visit them anytime."

Every year, we visit my sister's grave. The place where the headstone should have been is blank, but my sister's name used to be painted there. When we visit, we talk about what would've happened if she had lived. These imaginations are always on a light note, and I never heard any bitterness from any one of us. Somehow, we think, "She's still there, we can visit her anytime."

This year's All Souls Day, we went to the cemetery as usual. There were not many people this year, I thought. We got a little lost going to our 'family plot', but we found it.

But our sister's grave was not there anymore. On the exact place where her blank headstone should have been, there was another headstone, that of someone we did not know. We were confused, and we even checked if we were in the right place.

We were, but my sister's grave was gone.

It took a while for the fact to sink in. When we got tired of rationalizing, we just fell silent. The people visiting the grave beside us kept questioning us about it, but we just felt exhausted, and bitter and confused to answer. My mother, teary-eyed, lit a candle and put it on the grave anyway. My sister, the living twin, also teary-eyed, helped her. I just stood there, unable to comfort either my mother or my sister. I could feel the soft tears running down my cheek. I think that's when I finally felt the sadness of losing my sister, now that I'm all grown up and the grave is not there anymore.

But sad though I was, I don't think I could comprehend my mother's grief. I have not felt the sorrow of losing one's child, I having had no child to lose yet. I have no full knowledge of the pain, the guilt and the confusion of losing a child twice. That is why I cannot fathom the grief of my mother, who was also trying to keep from crying, I think, for us who are living. But she said something that gave me an idea of the pain she felt.

"Ang laki ng kasalanan ko kay Pite."

She was planning to move my sister's remains, you see, and was just waiting for the opportunity. But it was too late. For a mother to feel that, i had a vague inkling of how guilty she must feel. She wasn't able to keep her child from dying, and now she had to deal with not being able to have kept her daughter's grave. It was a vague idea, but it was overwhelming for me.

We didn't take long. It was too suffocating to be there and not be there at the same time. My mother and my sister the twin silently held each other, but I think it was too much for them also. It was difficult to move, yet we wanted to get out of there. When we finally went out, I was sort of relieved, but the bitterness was deeper. We talked about other things, we tried to distract ourselves with going to Robinson's and going to church, but it was a fragile relief. When we went home, it all came back and we were once again confronted with losing a sister twice.

I am older now. Many people close to me have died since. I think I've always been prepared to deal with more graves to visit, but I don't think I'll be able to deal with visiting less.

Nakakatamad na sumagot sa'yo.

p.s. Di ko to dinekwat somewhere. Talagang lumabas siya to my fingertips.

pps umilag na yung mga dapat umilag. yung dapat matamaan...wag ka umilag, duh.

One of the things I like about listening to non-English and non-Tagalog music is that I am able to focus on the melody of songs rather than the words. There are times when I don't want to put effort in comprehending the words because it feels so redundant and exhausting in a way.

Lyrics are important in a song because they SAY what you mean. It's kind of like iconism in that aspect. But I think the melody is what gives the song SOUL, if you get my drift. For me, the beauty of a song is in the melody that shows the barest of emotions, and if the melody is "sincere", I think that is very effective. A sincere melody gets you and keeps you listening not because you're forced to, as in a lot of catchy melodies, but you want to feel the emotions in that melody. It is what gets your attention and keeps it there.

Sometimes, I'm listening to a song and at the crescendo I feel my chest constriting painfully, and there's a feeling in my stomach like I'm at the edge of a really high cliff. There are songs that do more than give me goosebumps. At the risk of being a little emo about it, these songs rip my heart out and squeeze it dry until the tears fall freely...

Ah. Too emo.

Here are some songs that gave me that feeling.

                   DBSK's "Love in the Ice" (Korean), from their latest album, "Mirotic" - There's a Japanese version of this song, but I kinda like this one much better because of one little point: Micky Yoochun's part in the bridge is more powerful when he shouts out "O~~~H!" at the end of Junsu's line than in the Japanese version where the way he sang 'too~~' was a bit mid-level and safe and thus, quite anticlimactic. Also, I like the blending of Yunho and Jaejoong's voice here at the last part of the second chorus. Maybe it's the YunJae fangirl thing, but compared to Yunho and Changmin and Yunho and Junsu's harmonies, I really like YunJae blending best. But, in all fairness, I think Yoochun and Jaejoong's blending in their line is second to the YunJae blending.

     Nakashima Mika's "Oborozukiyo~Inori". I like this song because it feels dreamy and Nakashima's vocals suit it well. Oborozukiyo is actually an old song, but they added the Inori part (chorus), which made it even more heart-wrenching. My favorite part here is the instrumental bridge with the violin, which builds into a crescendo and the last chorus.

      "Death Wish" from Gackt's third album, "Moon". I meant to post another song, "Saikai~Story" that I like better than this one, but I couldn't find it on Imeem. Gah. Anyway, "Death Wish" is a really close second, and no, it's not because the title is so Ra-damned emo, but I really like the sound of this song. I particularly like the intro and the choruses here where there is more depth to Gackt's vocals because of the second voice.

                So there. I just wanted to post those three songs, actually.

Dahil emo Friday kami sa office ngayon. Haha. Sorry di siya match sa hitsura ng Multiply page ko. Pinost na to dati ni Lui, hindi ko na mahanap. :(

EMO KID

Dear Diary

Mood: Apathetic

My life is spiraling downward
I couldn’t get enough money to go to the Blood Red Romance and Suffocate Me Dry concert
It sucks cause they play some of my favorite songs like “Stab My Heart Because I Love You” and “Rip Apart My Soul” and of course “Stabby Rip Stab Stab” And It doesn’t help that I couldn’t get my hair to do that flippy thing either…Like that guy from that band can do...Some days, ya know...

I’m an emo kid, non-conforming as can be.
You’d be non-conforming too if you looked just like me
I have paint on my nails and makeup on my face
I’m almost emo enough to start shaving my legs
Cause I feel real deep when I'm dressing in drag
I call it freedom of expression, most just call me a fag
'Cause our dudes look like chicks, and our chicks look like dykes
Cause emo is one step below transvestite

Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo

I don’t jump around when I go to shows
I must be emo

I’m dark and sensitive with low self esteem
The way I dress makes everyday feel like Halloween
I have no real problems but I like to make believe
I stole my sister’s mascara now I’m grounded for a week
Sulking and writing poetry are my hobbies
I can’t get through a hawthorne heights album without sobbing
Girls keep breaking up with me, it’s never any fun
They say they already have a pussy, they don’t need another one.

Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo

I don’t jump around when I go to shows
I must be emo

Dye in my hair and polish on my toes
I must be emo

I play guitar and write suicide notes
I must be emo

my life is just a black abyss... ya know..it’s so dark. And it’s suffocating me, grabbing a hold of me and tightening its grip, tighter than a pair of my little sisters jeans...which look great on me by the way.

When I get depressed I cut my wrist in every direction
Hearing songs about getting dumped gives me an erection
I write in a live journal and wear thick rimmed glasses
I tell my friends I bleed black and cry during classes
I’m just a bad, cheap imitation of goth
You can read me “Catcher in the Rye” and watch me jack off
I wear skin tight clothes while hating my life
If I said I like girls, I’d only be half right.

I look like I’m dead and dress like a homo
I must be emo

Screw Xbox I play old school Nintendo
I must be emo

I like to whine and hit my parentals
I must be emo

Me and my friends all look like clones
I must be emo

My parents don’t get me ya know
They think I’m gay just because they saw me kiss a guy… Well, a couple guys. But, I mean it’s the 2000’s. Can’t 2…or 4 dudes make out with each other without being gay?
I mean, chicks dig that kind of thing anyways.
I don’t know diary, sometimes I think you are the only one that gets me. You’re my best friend.



I feel like tacos
