ito ang ginagawa ng mga taong bored at hindi pa dinadalaw ng antok… ang magsulat ng “25 nonsense random facts about me” (nakikiuso). I will list those that are not yet written in my FS profile.

1. noong bata ako, paborito kong makipag baril-barilan with boys in my neighborhood. i even made my own gun from scrap woods. fave hideout was up the sarisa tree!

8. gusto kung subukang maging dubber ng anime o cartoons (ung mga tagalized especially).
9. nag-enroll ako sa bsbio hindi dahil sa gusto ko kundi dahil dun nag-enroll ang two of my HS barkadas. i had no choice then since i wasnt allowed to study in davao. i was too dependent daw. ouch.

14. when we climbed the peak of mt. apo in 2006, sa sobrang ginaw, pinagsisihan ko bakit ako umakyat and wished for a helicopter that instant para sunduin na ako.
15. may crush ako na girl nung college that i always look for her in the crowd and parang lumulundag heart ko sa tuwa when i finally see her. ahaha.

18. i don’t eat kentucky beans. and kalabasa. i so love alugbati.

21. nung cguro mga 6-7 y.o. ako, we used to blow balloons out of these elastic and colorful latex; which i later realized na condoms pala! haha. eh bakit kc binebenta sa sari-sari store?!

24. umiyak ako ng 5 straight hours fr davao city to SF, agusan  inside the bus when my niece dinky went home to London that same day
25. biggest regret: i burned my HS diary during college, afraid that mamang will read it when she started rummaging cleaning my closet . sayang. sayang tlg.

wala akong magawa kaya gagawa na lang ako ng isang makabuluhang napapanahong komentaryo:

ok, sino pa kayang tao dito sa Pilipinas ang hindi nakakaalam sa katrina-hayden kho scandal… araw-araw ay halos nasa tv, dyaryo, radyo, internet, tsismis… the issue is so “sizzling hot” (borrowing dr. hayden’s comment to katrina in one of the videos) that everyone has something to say. nakakatawa nga kasi, the authorities will say “wag niyo na pong tangkilikin o panoorin ang mga ganitong klaseng video”, eh sila nga i’m sure napanood din nila, nyahaha.

pero sa tingin ko, ang dapat sisihin sa pagkalat ng videos na ito ay hindi ang mga taong nanaood dito o namirata/ nagpakalat nito… kundi ang media, sino pa nga ba!? tama bang ipangalandakan sa front page ng newspapers (PDI in yesterday’s ish) at sa national TV prime time news programs ang snapshots (prinint screen ata) ng sex videos na siempre ginawang blurred para hindi ma-MTRCB at para kunyari wholesome pa rin. hindi nga ba ang tao, hindi tumatangkilik ng isang bagay kung hindi naman niya ito nakikita (what do you think are the advertisements/ patalastas for). so ngayon, dahil sa nakita ng tao sa tv at newspaper na talagang may video nga, eh ang tendency, mas lalo niya itong tatangkilikin. hello, simpleng logic. dapat hindi na nila (tv and print) papakita ang mga blurred pictures na yan. these only tickle the imagination of the viewers/ readers. these only arouse the interest of the audience. nakakainis. ay oo nga pala, siempre human interest ito, mas mabebenta sa tao mga ganitong issue kaya todo sakay ang media.

ito pa isang nakakainis, bakit nga ba mas uunahin pa ng mga Senators na pag-ukulan ng time (at privilege speech) ang mga ganitong issue. duh. you are not helping katrina and the other women or children na naabuso umano sa mga kalaswaang ganito. mas lalo lang adding insult to injury. puwede ba, manahimik na alng kayo at gumawa na lang ng batas (against internet porno, sex videos and the like…) at ipatupad; at hindi mag-aantay ng human interest stories/ issues na sasakyan niyo lang. para tuloy mas lumalabas kayong tsismoso kesa sa amin eh.

katrina, hindi ko pa napapanood ang sex video mo. wala naman akong access dun. yun nga lang, nagka-LSS na ako sa Careless Whisper na yan. hehe.

some random thoughts for the week:

• i am dying to see x-men origins: wolverine on big screen. bakit kasi ala matinong sinehan dito sa cotabato city. tuloy kelangan ko pang dumayo ng davao city. ang tanong kelan? at worth it bang bumiyahe ng limang oras para lamang makita ang adamantium ni Logan?
• was speechless when i heard juday’s wedding march. “Runaway” is my dream wedding march! waah naunahan ako. sad. tsk tsk.
• so happy with minilyrics (tnx poi). puwede ko nang sabayan ang mediaplayer. ahehe. instant videoke sa pc.
• i so love katy perry’s “Thinking of You”. and the video, galing. The Notebook ang effect. tried so hard to play the song in the guitar. TH kaayo ;(
• speaking of gitara, bumalik interes ko to learn. promised a friend to teach him the basics. ahaha, di lang nahiya, di naman magaling, magtuturo na.
• my cellphone doesn’t work! heck, have no plans of buying a new one pa naman…
• i am addicted to Facebook’s quizzes. mas nakikilala ko sarili ko. nalaman ko na ako talaga ay may multiple personality disorder at ang superpower ko ay telepathy at ang 6th sense ko ay clairvoyance! haha.
• my supervisor said today that i am her answered prayer. shucks. natakot tuloy ako. baka madisappoint siya at pagsisihan nyang ipinagdasal niya akong makasama sa work. i hate disappointing people pa naman. it disappoints me!
• tuwang-tuwa ako ke aling dionesia, hehe. loves to see her on TV and read her in the news (bumile ako ng damit para isuksok ko sa bertdey ko…). i know a very funny tsismis about her, haha.
• may nickname na ako para sa future pamangkin ko if ever babae siya - ARWEN from Arkhe and Wendy’s name. cool diba? ung princess ng Elven sa LOTR.
• missed billiards! tama, yayayain ko si best next week.
• parang gus2 ko ulit magkeep ng diary. marami kasi mga bagay na gusto ko isulat na hindi puwede dito sa blog… secrets, hmmm.
• for me, there is nothing wrong with martin’s rendition of Lupang Hinirang. sorry NHI, pero oa lang kau. tama, mas importanteng feel na feel mong pinoy ka habang kinakanta niya un. I love martin’s statement: “i sang it like it was the last song i’ll ever sing”. hahay, you can never please everybody jud.
• one of my boardmates teases me of being “swerte sa lovelife”. aw. knock on wood! hehe (basi mabuyagan).
• Kiko Machine and Pugad-Baboy comics strips are my everyday comic relief providers. officemates always say “katawa lagi ka?” since di ko napipigilang humagighik sa sobrang babaw na humor (note to myself: buy KM comic books).

i remembered this anecdote about my first LRT ride experience. The memory still makes me chuckle

I am a fifth grader then and went with my father to Manila who attended a convention. We will be riding an LRT that day and Pap gave me the token/coin he bought from the booth so we can pass by the gate. Since it was my first time, i was very clueless; i didn’t know what to do with the token and looked at the teller behind the booth. She must have read through my ignorance innocence and simply said “ihulog mo“. The very obedient young girl that i am, i mindlessly dropped the token right on the floor! Yay, everyone around me laughed; Pap immediately picked up the token while explaining my ignorance to the teller “pasensya na, first time kasi”.

(Eh sabi kasi ihulog, eh di hinulog ko sa sahig, wahahaha. Dapat complete instruction: ihulog mo sa butas, lol).

wala lang, trip ko lang i-show off this collage i made from different pictures i took of my stuffed toys, some knicknacks and cartoon figures. I love it! It’s my current desktop wallpaper, wahaha. Thanks to Adobe Photoshop and PhotoScape hehe

in the picture: 2 Stitch i found in ukay-ukay, a sylvester chair cover, miniature parasols for cocktail drinks, shells from siargao, some stuffed toys that are crowding in the closet, some cartoon figures (donkey, dory, chicken little, a penguin from surf’s up, boo and sully) i collected, the “berkz” pen holder my berks gave me, and the wooden “abigail” i bought in Intramuros. Yeah, because i am an artist am a vandal, my name was written all over my closet door using my glow-in-the-dark glue pen. lol.

this afternoon, i brought home an expanded envelope bulging with papers that needed my attention. i am supposed to work tonight, i promised my supervisor to finish consolidating the pre-tests and post-tests, that started piling up early last year even before i got in the project, and submit the report on tuesday. but then i don’t feel like doing it. i still can’t get over the petty fight i had with Best just this afternoon. it is about a digicam i asked him to buy for me (i’ve finally moved on and accepted the reality that my old dear Canon has to retire). But Best bought me the wrong one! the specs and the design are right though, but hell, the color is so wrong! he got me a pink digicam! i got so pissed off i wanted to cry. all the while i was imagining a bloody red digicam (whatever model/brand i did not care) as agreed; but everything went blurry when he texted me he got pink instead. ouch. sigh… okay, i am not really against pink. but can i have a powder blue instead? anything but pink. pink is not just so right for me especially for a camera that i will bring with me everyday. whew. my best told me it was a best buy for the price and the function. huh, tell that to the marines. alright. i won’t complicate things anymore. i just wished i could spray pylox all over the cam and repaint it with the color i really liked…

the pink one

the red one

yeah, i know, the pink one looks more classy and looks really better. but my stubbornness refuses to give in (as of this moment). i don’t care about the class, the better look. for me, the color is what counts the most. the pink one is so girly and kikay, it is not me. yeah, i am so particular with my things that even the shallowest detail matters. Shallow details make me shallow, urgh.

but i must admit, i haven’t seen yet the camera my Best bought. i may love it or hate it more. so for now (as i promised him), i will keep my mouth shut.

♥

p.s. thank you pa rin best, for the effort…
