Death…
January 31, 2008
When all usefulness is over, when one is assured of an unavoidable and imminent death, it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in the place of a slow and horrible one.
-Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Bale 1986 noong una kong nakilala si batman wala pang abs-cbn noon sa BBC-2 pa noon eh panahon ni Marcos na malapit nang mamatay wala rin si kris aquino wala pa si boy abunda sikat pa si herman moreno noon eh sabi ko, “shet ang galing nito ah” natulala ako noong una kong napanood si batman “shet ang galing nito” sabi ko sa sarili ko “ang galing galing galing ng itsura ni batman” parang kinatam ang mukha ang galing ng costume umuumbok ang dibdib pero di pa rin bakat ang utong ang galing ng gadgets niya ang gara ng kotse ang ganda ng bahay ang galing-galing mag-Ingles ang galing mangarate actually, pulbos nga ang lahat ng kalaban niya eh palagi ko siyang pinapanood tuwing hapon palagi akong nakikipag-away sa katulong namin dahil gusto nya manood ng lotlot and friend at saka thats entertainment pero ako isa lang talaga ang gusto kong panoorin sabi idol na idol n idol n talaga kita

I Love Kara David
January 30, 2008
Because she is such a great documentary filmmaker. And I have watched the one she did called Selda Inocente, which is about Filipina inmates who have their kids with them inside the bilibid. I don’t exctaly know what to say about the film. All that is running in my twisted head right now is that the Filipino society suck because things like this happens.
Song of the Day – Metallica’s St. Anger
January 30, 2008
Because I’ve been listening to my favorite band once again. At ito ang paulit-ulit na kinakanta ko…
St. Anger
St. Anger ’round my neck
St. Anger ’round my neck
He never gets respect
St. Anger ’round my neck
You flush it out, you flush it out
St. Anger ’round my neck
He never gets respect
You flush it out, you flush it out
St. Anger ’round my neck
You flush it out, you flush it out
He never gets respect
Fuck it all and no regrets
I hit the lights on these dark sets
I need a voice to let myself
To let myself go free
Fuck it all and fuckin’ no regrets
I hit the lights on these dark sets
Medallion noose, I hang myself
St. Anger ’round my neck
I feel my world shake
Like an earth quake
It’s hard to see clear
Is it me? Is it fear?
I’m madly in anger with you
And I want my anger to be healthy
And I want my anger just for me
And I need my anger not to control
And I want my anger to be me
And I need to set my anger free
Set it free

Not Only in the Philippines
January 29, 2008
I’ve recently watched this documentary called War on Democracy. It was about the struggle of many Latin American countries against poverty and inequality, brought about the ruling class and of course, the all-so-mighty United States. And I was never able to stop thinking how odd it is that such rich countries can be so poor at the same time. Venezuela for example is one of the countries with the biggest oil reserve in the world, and yet only a few people benefit from it. In that country, just like in any country especially in the Philippines, the rich get richer and the poor gets poorer. The movie was so touching that I think it’s my responsibility to tell people to watch it also and learn from it. So go ahead, watch War on Democracy. I don’t care where you’ll get the copy. Try torrents or P2P sites. Just download it and watch the damn thing.
Here’s the trailer of that docu film…

Song of the Day – Queens of the Stone Age’s No One Knows
January 29, 2008
I’ve been wanting to post this song here because I just love the band. Kaso nakakalimutan ko. So ngayon, dahil naalala ko, eto na…
No One Knows
We get some rules to follow
That and this
These and those
No one knows
We get these pills to swallow
How they stick
In your throat
Tastes like gold
Oh, what you do to me
No one knows
And I realize you’re mine
Indeed a fool of mine
And I realize you’re mine
Indeed a fool of mine
Ahh
I journey through the desert
Of the mind
With no hope
I found low
I drift along the ocean
Dead lifeboats in the sun
And come undone
Pleasently caving in
I come undone
And I realize you’re mine
Indeed a fool of mine
And I realize you’re mine
Indeed a fool and mine
Ahhh
Heaven smiles above me
What a gift there below
But no one knows
A gift that you give to me
No one knows

This is why I love you so much…
January 28, 2008
…because you manage to do and say things like what you did and said last Saturday. And I completely agree,
I’m sure of you, I’m sure of us.
Song of the Day – Sisqo’s Incomplete
January 28, 2008
Because this song means a lot for us… I LOVE YOU!!!
Incomplete
Whoo
Ooh
Oh yeah yeah
Listen
Bright lights
Fancy restaurants
Everything in this world that a man could want
Got a bank account bigger than the law should allow
Still I’m lonely now
Pretty faces from the covers of the magazines
From their covers to my covers wanna lay with me
Fame and fortune still can’t find
Just a grown man runnin out of time
CHORUS
Even though it seems I have everything
I don’t wanna be a lonely fool
All of the women
All the expensive cars
All of the money don’t amount to you
I can make believe I have everything
But I can’t pretend that I don’t see
That without you girl my life is incomplete
Said without you girl ahh
Listen
Your perfume
Your sexy lingerie
Girl I remember it just like it was on yesterday
A Thursday you told me you had fallen in love
I wasn’t sure that I was
It’s been a year
Winter summer spring and fall
But bein without you just ain’t livin ain’t nothing at all
If I could travel back in time
I’d relive the days you were mine
CHORUS
Oh yeah that without you girl ahh
I just can’t help lovin you
But I loved you much too late
I’d give anything
And everything
To hear you say
That you’ll stay
CHORUS (2x)
Without ya girl
Without ya girl my life
Without you girl
My life my life is incomplete
Without you girl
My life is incomplete
Oh yeah
My life is incomplete
Oh yeah yeah
Whoo

Can You Guys Do Anything Right?
January 25, 2008
I’ve been blabbering about how I hate my job (but still love it at the same time). Well, here’s another reason why I hate this crazy company. That is because we have one of the most shitty HR department in the history of employment. You ask them to do something for you, and they manage to screw you over again and again. I’m talking about how they kept on messing up my pay dispute where I should have been paid for an absence they said I incurred. I was never absent during that pay period and still they deducted a good one-day worth on my pay. That’s almost 600php that I could have used to buy stuff for myself and my family. Well, it was okay as they have done that a few times before. So I just reported me and they assured me that I will get my money the next payout. But NO!!! The next payout, still no money. Then another payout came, still no fucking money!!! What’s wrong with you people? Can’t you guys do anything right? After delaying our monthly GCs, now this! WTF!!! This is one thing that make my work suck… Because I try so hard to be a good worker, but most of the people surrounding me are screw-ups and idiotic bastards… FUCK!!!
And to quote Jerry Maguire, “SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!”
Song of the Day – Urbandub and Dicta License’s Future
January 25, 2008
Just a public service anouncement… And I love the song and the video…
Future
Let the word spread out like fire
Building bridges to unite one blood
Let the youth receive and see
There’s more to life than this tragedy
I’m gonna be choosing to survive
Refuse to stand aside
We lift the voice and we get up on us
We unite to ignite (jah love)
I’m breathing in a new beginning
Precious life is in the air
Spread the word and not the hurt
Spread the word and not the hurt
We are the future
We own the future
Let the youth open their minds
The right the right to stay alive
Every minute, humanity i claim
Born every minute is a victim
But we turn away
Open your eyes, open your eyes wide
To the information
And subscribe to stay alive
Open your eyes, open your eyes
Breath the air and stay alive
Spread the word and not the hurt
Spread the word and not the hurt
We own the future
(I refuse to stand aside)
We own the future
(I choose to stay alive)
We own the future
(Refuse to stand aside)
We own the future
(We have the right to stay alive)
We have the right to stay alive
We have the right to stay alive
We have the right to stay alive
The right stay to stay alive
