greetings from shanghai

i'm really missing the philippines right now. i miss my friends, my family, the environment, the security. grabe, i want my old life back. i don't want to be associated with the culture that's developed here. hindi pa rin ako naniniwala na "what happens in shanghai stays in shanghai". this is not las vegas. and actions have consequences.

grabe, bakit ba ako masyadong bothered... hahahaha

antok nanaman ako

weng weng

dearest vp binay, hindi ko naiintindihan kung bakit hindi ka sang-ayon sa pag-ban sa maling pag-gamit ng siren. siguro hindi ka nakakarelate kasi may driver ka. hindi nangyari sayong nagulat ka, nagpanic, di mo alam kung paano ka tatabi dahil masikip kasi ang kalye at dahil baguhan ka pa sa pagmamaneho. tapos pag makita mo na kung saan galing yung nakakatakot na sirenang naririnig mo sa likod mo, yung congressman lang palang nagmamadaling umuwi dahil sira ang tiyan niya at tinatawag na siya ng inidoro.

sabi mo, ok lang sayo yung batas. yun nga lang, "i just want them not to totally ban sirens and qualify when it should be used by VIP's and public officials" (from inquirer's article) so sino lang dapat ang may wang-wang ban? yung mga officials na late gumigising at gumagamit ng wangwang dahil nagmamadali sila. so, mr. vice president, how would we know kung sino sila? when you were makati's mayor you said that you used your wang wang. and where could you possibly be going that you'd need to be protected by your wang wang? a crime scene? bakit, pulis ka ba? fire? bakit, bumbero ka ba? an official meeting? excuse me, kung ayaw mong malate, gumising ka ng maaga.

hindi lang kayo ang inaatake ng sakit ng tiyan. hmph...

natatakot pa rin ako minsan magdrive sa commonwealth, lalu na pag malapit na sa sandigan. ang daming bully na big cars. singit ng singit. pushing me to the side. nakakainis >_< i feel so small... i hope they're reminded that they are public servants. we do not exist to serve them, they're the ones who were meant to serve the people.

~

ayaw yata ni binay na matraffic siya. well, then, fix the roads. naliliitan ka sa office space ng vice president? then step down. matuto ka sana makisama. respetuhin mo naman ang presidente. pwede?

sitting waiting wishing

~jack johnson~

Now I was sitting waiting wishing
That you believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
But Lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
Learning loving somebody don't make them love you

Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing a fool?

I sing ya songs I dance a dance
I gave ya friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you
And maybe you been through this before
But it's my first time
So please ignore
The next few lines cause they're directed at you

I can't always be waiting waiting on you
I can't always be playing playing your fool

I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Won't this plot not twist?
I've had enough mystery.
Keep building me up
Then shooting me down
Well I'm already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting

Well if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wondered why'd it taken me so long
But Lord knows that I'm not you
And If I was I wouldn't be so cruel
Cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do

Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing your fool?
No I can't always be waiting waiting on you
I can't always be playing playing your fool

reality

ako: anong nangyari? diba panaginip lang yun?
ikaw: ah, oo, panaginip lang yun! haha!
ako: talaga? kaya pala malabo. haha. eh ngayon hindi na panaginip?
ikaw: hindi na. totoo na to. nararamdaman mo naman ako diba? *poke poke*
ako: oo nga. panaginip lang yung kanina. ngayon reality na. haha

parang tanga lang. feel na feel ko talaga. paniwalang paniwala akong totoo ang nangyayari. kung saan saan pa naglibot. daming taong nasalubong. may naka-away pa ako nung nakapila sa tindahan ng frozen yogurt. hay nako... medyo matagal bago ako nagising sa katotohanan, literally :p

craving for frozen yogurt... dahil hindi ko nakain ang binili mo para sa akin dun sa panaginip ko... XD

A Progressive View | Futility Closet

"The Bible’s reference to the “four corners of the earth” need not mean that the world is flat.

It could be a tetrahedron."

how cute! a tetrahedron earth... the molecular geometry of methane :p

pwede bang itigil muna ang pag-ikot ng mundo?

tulog

insomniac nanaman ata ako...

why is it that when questions are answered, more questions would emerge that need their own answers. i think i need a copy of the little book of answers.

allergic ata ako sa init/pawis. i think i need an aircon unit following me wherever i go. or maybe i'm just allergic to stress, or stress that's not really stressful but seem stressful to my eyes just because i have nothing else to worry about. and you know me, i need to worry about anything, such as global warming.

dear mother earth, why don't you let me help you? nandito naman ako, trying to help, pero bakit tuwing sinusubukan kong tulungan ka, wala ring nangyayari? i hate feeling useless. i want to have purpose in life... brrr....

i'm desperate for a hug. i'm saaaaaad... the earth is melting...

ano na ang nangyayari?

And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?

bakit nawala na yung embed feature sa youtube? bakit diretso na sa site ipopost yung video? paano na ang multiply? left out and isolated. tsk... buti pa ang facebook.

diskriminasyon!

i have a headache. ang tagal naman ng july. sana mag jump ang oras at biglang july na.

araling pangkasarian

the philippines is such a conservative country that it subconsciously resents change and progress. i totally understand why the catholic church had such a negative reaction regarding sex education and distribution of condoms pero sana maintindihan nila na poverty is proportional to the number of children in most cases (i hate you villar for saying that it's ok to have many kids and still be able to escape poverty. false hope!!!) and actually educating people about how their body works would actually help them and not ruin them. the key is timing. grade 1 is definitely too early. i think that you should have an understanding of sexuality before freshman highschool or else your friends would bombard you with all the information you would ever need, which is good, as long as what they're telling you is true and correct. but what if they're wrong?

Harvard "Rethinking Virginity" Conference

myth #4, regarding losing your virginity, is very interesting. i found the comments very informative too.

premonisyon

may time na akala ko lumang movie na yung prince of persia kasi nakita ko na yung poster niya somewhere... ngayon ko lang naalala, i saw it as a billboard sa confessions of a shopaholic. so cute! ^_^ maybe it was supposed to draw guys into watching a chick flick. ang kulit lang. haha!

mamang bakal dos

scarlett johansson is flat chested pero maganda ang cleavage. she was so hot in the movie. the magic of the push up bra. so ibig sabihin may pag-asa pa ako! XD yey!

naisip ko rin, babae pala ako. everything about me screams GIRL hahaha... i'm not a fan of comics, i'm not into violence, and i easily cry. hindi naman ako naiyak sa movie. fact lang yun, mababaw luha ko.

this is not a movie review, but i would like to add that the movie was nice. bihira na nga lang ako manood ng sine. dapat lang maganda ung mapapanood ko, diba... whee!

black day

feb 14 is valentine's day. you wear red. march 14, white day. you wear white. april 14, black day. you wear black. it's black day today ^_^ i wore black!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Day

valentine's day is when girls give boys chocolate. white day is when the boys return the favor and give more expensive chocolates to the girl. black day is when people who did not receive any gifts would have their own celebration. black day is for singles. yeah

according to wikipedia, isa itong imbensyon ng mga kapitalismong nagbebenta ng tsokolate. mainam.

~

i wore black today kahit hindi naman ako talaga single. ayoko lang talaga ng labels. don't ask me if i have a bf kasi hindi ko alam ang isasagot. kami lang naman makakaintindi sa isa't isa. walang pakialamanan! buhay namin to. masaya kami. wag nang manggugulo, ok? ^_^

xkcd: Science Valentine

http://xkcd.com/701/
aww... sabi nga ng kaibigan ng kaibigan ko, na kaibigan ko rin naman, ang bottomline, kung mahal mo siya talaga. ako naman, ang tanong, masaya ka ba? kung hindi mo siya mahal at hindi ka na masaya, linoloko mo na lang sarili mo.

there comes a point were you have to step back, look at yourself and be honest about what you see. is it really worth the trouble?

~

hindi tungkol sa akin ang post na ito. don't worry, hindi pa rin kami mag-on kaya hindi pa kami nagbebreak XD

refraction

the holy week is all about reflection. it's a time to meditate and look back. kaya nga walang pasok diba. narinig ko lang yan sa isang pari na ininterview sa news nung holy week. hahaha

ang dami kong narealize nung holy week. at tuwing may marerealize ako, dadami pa ang tanong sa isip ko, at lalung gumugulo ang isip ko imbes na malinawan ako. minsan ayoko na lang magmunimuni para madali ang buhay. ignorance is bliss diba?

*buntong hininga*

narealize ko lang, the future bothers me more than the present and the past. parang mas dinadamdam ko yung mangyayari pa lang kesa sa nangyari na. what's wrong with me... masyado ba akong mabilis mag move on na linalampasan ko yung totoong problema ko? wala naman akong problema eh. so ok lang na pinoproblema ko yung future ko? hay nakooooo~

How to make your own yogurt

http://hubpages.com/hub/How_to_make_your_own_yogurt_-_An_illustrated_guide
oh! someday i'd make my own yogurt... yes... i don't know what i'd do with them, basta gusto kong gumawa ng yogurt.

the first time i tried to eat yogurt was when we made yogurt for microbiology class in highschool. how i miss our teacher... ms. alsa gulaman ;)

we also made fertilizer using fungi and horse poop, which, btw, caused the whole building to smell like poop. thank you, microbes, for making lives better ^_^

man-evil-liar

nalulungkot akong sikat na sikat pa rin si manny villar kahit ang baho baho niya. ang dami niyang nagawang masama pero mahal pa rin siya ng mga tao... bakit kasi walang internet ang mga mahihirap. hindi ba nila naiintindihan na hindi lang paninira ang mga sinasabing masama tungkol kay manny villar? totoo ito at sana naman maniwala silang hindi mabuting tao si manny villar. kaya lang siya gumagawa ng maganda para sa mahihirap kasi gusto niyang manalo sa ekelsyon... hay...

(click me!)

"If Manny Villar can lie and use his dead younger brother like this, what makes you think that he will really improve and not worsen your life? What makes you think that he is not as greedy as he is being charged in this presidential campaign? What makes you think that you can trust Manny Villar?"

toink

wala lang... ksp mode XD

more

may kasabihang, "the more you give, the more you receive."
anong proof nito? hindi ba pwedeng, "the more you receive, the more you give."
kasi wala ka namang maibibigay kung wala kang nakuha. at kapag may ibigay ka, may makukuha ka pa ulit para may mabibigay ka pa. diba?

fruit!

happy valentine's day. v.day has always been just another day to me. even when i had a bf, it was just an ordinary day. no expectations, no flair, no celebration. it was special because i got to be with the guy that i love then, but not because it was v.day (btw, i got a white paper rose hehehe). last year, i didn't have a bf so nothing special. this year, wala pa rin akong bf (fyi lang sa hindi alam, hindi ko pa siya bf ngayon) pero may expectations. it must be because the people around me have been fussing about v.day since the start of the month. it's like everyone is either looking forward or backward to v.day. so nahawa na rin ako in anticipating v.day. i'm now officially a victim of valentine's day --_--'

sabi nung taxi driver, pinakamataas daw ang bilang ng biyahe nila sa gabi ng valentine's day. mga nagpapahatid to and from the motel. hameyzing. v.day is really good for business mhen.

ang feb14 daw ay para sa legal na karelasyon. ang mga kirida kasama ng feb13. ano ba ang mistress na lalaki? anyway, i will be with my love on feb14, i will be with my mister(?) on feb13 XD how cute! valentine's day landed on a sunday ^_^

i heard this song being played by one of my office mates in my first job a long time back. it was a classic but i didn't know the title. then i heard it again, lately, in one of those american idol auditions. so cute ^_^ i love this song. pero ngayon ko lang nalaman kung tungkol saan yung song.

tempted - squeeze

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case
I said to my reflection, "let's get out of this place"
Past the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill
The billboards and the buildings, memories of it still
Keep calling and calling, but forget it all, I know I will

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I'm at the carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel
The people keep on crowding, I'm wishing I was well
I said, "It's no occasion, it's no story I can tell"
At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer, I fumble for the clock
Alarmed by the seduction, I wish that it would stop

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune all for you
But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue
I asked of my reflection, "tell me, what is there to do?"

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another

pirata

everyday, i get to see a fake luwi viton bag. it's supposed to have a logo of an L superimposed on a V. i've actually seen a bag with an LA or LW. i was like, "louis witton? louis atton?"

sabi ni Louis Vuitton, about 90% of the louis vuitton bags that you see are fake. di ako sure kung 90% nga or less or more, ewan, basta, the fact is, pag may makita kayong LV na bag sa mrt, malamang fake yun.

watch this video

kailan kaya ako makakagawa ng bag...

Wacom at SM North. so near yet so far.

buti pa ang comics, in black and white. ang buhay ko lagi na lang nasa gray area XD

zippers

matagal ko nang pinag-iisipan ito... madalas kasi tuwing sumasakay ako ng mrt, dun ako sa dulong car. co-ed kami dun. madalas din, nakakaupo ako dahil north avenue ang aking estasyon. iniisip ko minsan, paano kung yung lalaking nakatayo sa harap ko, bukas ang zipper. paano ko sasabihin sa kaniya? sasabihin ko ba sa kaniya? ano kaya ang gagawin ko kung mapunta ako sa ganung sitwasyon.

at dahil ako'y sinuswerte ngayong araw na ito *sarcastic* nangyari nga! hay nako... yung lalaking nakatayo sa harap ko ang kaawa-awang biktima ng open zipper syndrome XD hay nako! buti na lang huli na nang malaman ko. pagkatapos ng ilang minuto, umalis din siya sa harapan ko at naupo sa tabi ko. buti na lang.

wall of hope

nagpaint kami ng walls sa children's medical center last december. last week dumaan ako dun ulit to see the finished product. ayan, ang ganda na. nung iniwan kasi namin, medyo chaka pa. ngayon ang ganda na ^_^

medyo marami pang walls ang wala pang pintura. pero natutuwa pa rin ako kasi ang ganda ganda ng walls. yey!

hay

ang bagal ko kumain ng dinner...

kaninang lunch time, sabi nung kaibigan ni lola, kumain daw ako ng madami para tumaba ako. dapat daw marami akong kasama kumain para mapilitan akong bilisan habang nakikipag-agawan ng pagkain. eh wala nakong magagawa. ganto lang talaga ako kabagal kumain.

sabi niya, noong dalaga pa ako, kasing payat mo rin ako! nung nagka anak ako bumigat ako! nagkaroon ako ng isa pa, bumigat ulit ako! at nagkaroon pa ulit ako, bumigan nanaman ako! kapag nagka-anak ka, bibigat ka rin. ilang taon ka na ba?
ahh... 23 po.
naku! bata ka pa pala. may boyfriend ka naman diba?
uhh... wala na po kami eh. ewan... hindi ko naman po problema yun.
wag mo kasi susungitan ang mga lalaki. kung kausapin ka, kausapin mo rin. maging mabait ka sa kanila para makita nila ang kagandahan ng iyong puso.
hindi ko naman po problema yun eh.
darating din ang lalaking para sayo.
ah.. eh.. sige po. salamat po.... --_--'

natuwa naman ako sa mga advice niya. kailangan ko na mabuntis! sinong gustong maging sperm donor diyan? XD
