Slow unsteady...

marami ako sanang gustong blog post, pero mukhang may problema ang dsl connection ko, sa download speeds ko na 2kbps talo pa ako ng dial up, pero sa websites naman steady lang, must have something to do with the servers and the routing topology (ayan nagamit ko na yung cs 30 at 31 sa buhay ko) one of the minor troubles brought about by the earthquake...

well anyways i'll probably up some posts before my break ends...

Iris...

For some reason, i got very addicted to hearing the song Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls again...

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

I got some videos from youtube. iris by Yvan Lambatan from PDA aws a heartfelt performance. iris sung in a concertm in a tv show, even one rendition by the Goo Goo Dolls with Avril Lavigne. But I got one video which had Johnny Rzeznik explaining how the song happened...

He explaing that he made it really for the movie, he wrote it while he was in the eyes of the lead character ( oh yeah the movie was city of angels) however he realized that it was quite applicable to a multitude of situations...

However i still don't know why the song is called IRIS. Probably something related to seeing, others say that there was a girl named iris and the song was for her.

Personally I think i's the former (And I don't want the world to SEE me) but well a song is interpreted in many ways so who knows?

Rant...

Marami akong gustong sabihin o ikwento pero eto na lang muna...

Isa sa mga pinapanood ko (hindi ko maituring na sinusubaybayan dahil hindi naman ako regular na manonood ng programa) ay yung Pinoy Dream Academy. Isa sa mga nagustuhan kong contestant (o scholar) ay yung si Yvan.

Siya yung pinakagusto ko, ngunit hindi ko naman masabing siya yung pinakamagaling (siguro ang pinakamagaling yung Panky o yung Yeng). Tapos natanggal siya kasama ni Rosita nung Sabado. Si Rosita para sa akin ayos lang, parang tila panggulo siya eh hehe pero si Yvan magaling eh.

So ayun natanggal, at saktong sakto ang ganda ng birit niya ng Iris nung matanggal siya.

Kaso naisip ko oo contest ito at talagang may matatanggal pero parang naisip ko, ano nga ba talaga ang PDA, isa ba itong talent search o popularity search lang. Kasi kung ibabase sa performance grades

Scholars:

Ave.

Yvan

8.48

Panky

8.47

Yeng

8.14

Irish

8.03

Ronnie

8.01

Chad

7.90

Jay-R

7.83

Rosita

7.35


(galing sa webstie ng pda)

Kaso yun nga, iisipin din siguro ng management ang marketability ng isang talent, malas lang siguro ni Yvan na hindi siya ganon kataas sa standard ng market pagdating sa kung ano ang gwapo...

hindi ako nagrarant dahil sa injustice or whatever, naalala ko nung panahon nung unang Star Circle Quest, alam ko na medyo wala talagang maipagmalaking talent si Sandara at hirap na hirap siya, pero hehe siya pa rin ang gusto kong maiwan o manalo pa nga.

Pero yun nga minsan siguro kailangan ding tanungin kung ano pa ang silbi ng mga jurors kung ipapaubaya rin lang sa tao ang botohan :)

Artist Date#2: Singing in the rain

i went out to hear mass first, but i got tied up a bit and was too late for the mass. So i just went to the arcade and played my heart out... However, my body was still a bit sore from the workout last thursday, skating last firday, workout again yesterday, so iwasn;t really moving well in the dance maniax machine.

So I just ent out of the arcade and allowed my feet to take me where it wants to go, it led me to shopwise, so there I just put on my music player and went around the aisles without having any purpose, just enjoyin the airconditiong and my music.

As I got tired, I just picked up some snacks and headed for the register, After I paid and went out, I saw tat it was raining, However, I was not one who would waste time inside the store so I braved the rain.

While I was walking through the streets, the song as lovers go played on my ipod. For some reasonm, i got so immersed in the song that I was singing out loyd while walking through the rain, oblivious of the people around me...

Good looks > Talent
Talent < Marketability

Yan ang naintindihan ko mula sa show na Pinoy Dream Academy. Putangina, hindi lang dahil yung Yvan yung gusto ko pero ang sablay talaga ng dating na palibhasa mas gwapo at mas ma-appeal yung ibang contestant nabalewala na yung quest for talent.

Sabagay kung may magtetext sayo= may bibili ng album (?) ganon siguro yung thiunking behind it.

Pero parang naging payamanan ng fans ang laban, kung may pera ka text lang, kung wala talo...

Medyo sablay to para sa aking panlasa, pero ganon eh, ganon ang takbo ng utak ng tao, kung sinong manok mo, yun na yun, wala ng talent talent...




Nagpagupit ako kanina...

Dati mahaba
Umikli ng onti
Humaba uliut
Maikli ng Konti
Maikli na

- partly because I wanted a new look
- partly because she wanted it shorter
-partly because I'm mpulsive and just wanted to have something to do...

Probably one of the fastet time between 2 cuts that I had, i guess my hairstyle lasted about 3 weeks.

I like my hair now, though I kinda miss the lenght hehe... My hair grows fast anyway so I'ts gonna be fine...

I wanna go boxing...

Alam mo ba na ang December 8 ay ang itinkadang araw upang gunitain ang Immaculate Conception of the Blessed of the Blessed Virgin Mary...

Ang December 8 ay itinakdang holiday of obligation ng simbahang katoliko. Ibig sabihin requirement ang pagsimba sa araw na ito. Sa isang taon mayroon lamang tatlong holidays of obligation. (Ang hindi pagpinta sa simbahan/pagsimba sa mga araw na iyo ay kasalanan at dapat ikumpisal).

In my theory, the church requires you to attend only three (tres, 3, tatlo, san) masses. But the class in Ateneo... requires me ti write 3 pages everyday?

How's that for perspective???

Finance... Anak ng Torotot namang finacne yan, parang accounting, the remix. Pucha naman, kahit papano gets ko pa kaso barely, just barely. Onting dagdag na lang wala na malalaglag na ako.

Minsan iniisip ko kung magagamit ko nga ba itong finance na to sa buhay ko. I'm in Comtech, Communications Technology Management, pero wala sa tatlong yan ang gusto ko talagang gawin sa buhay.

Ang gusto ko talaga (eto no joke) maging professional video game player. Balita ko sa ibang bansa (Korea ata yun) mala-michael jordan daw ang kasikatan, at may pera din Naisip ko parang napalapit din ako sa pangarap ko ng maging athlete kaso hindi sports, medyo videogames naman. ISipin mo parang basketball player lang. Practice drills laro ng bola araw araw. Ganon din siguro ang professional videogame player, practiceng laro, drills at maghapong laro ng video game.

Ika nga:

"Binabayaran ka para gawin ang ang bagay na ikaw mismo ay magbabayad para lamang magawa mo ito"

Kung matutupad to, siguro ang game na pipiliin ko yung NBA LIve, siguro sobrang maaliw ako na lumaban sa maraming klase ng manlalaro, Nba Live kasi hindi ako nagsasawa dito, Nba live kasi gusto kong magkaroon ng pagkakataon na lumaban sa mga taong manlalaro at hindi Cpu Lang.

Kung di naman NBA live, game din ako sa Counterstrike, naalala ko na dati maituturing kong magaling sa larong ito. May mga panahaon din dati na sa sobrang adik ko sa larong ito, kulang na lang ako yung magbukas ng Ali Mall at Net venture para makalaro... (hmm side note: san na kaya si sir fred, melanie and friends)

Siguro masaya ding maging professional player ng initial d, kaso yun nga lang di ako magaling dun, di ko pa rin kaya yung mga hair pin curves at mga drifts . Mahal din kasi ang larong to sa arcade.

pwede rin siguri yung dance maniax, kaso parang naging dancer lang ako, at alam kong maraming sobrang galing sumaway sa mundo at wala na rin akong balak na lumahok pa at sumingit sa kanila.

Kung may paraan lang sana na magkaroon ng course na "video game playing" dito sa ateneo eh di shift na ako. Alam ko sa ibang bansa meron eh, kaso kung magkaroon man dito sa 'pinas nun, di ko alam kung paano ko pmapapayag ang nanay ko na yun ang kunin kong kurso...

Kahapon nilista ko yung lyrics ng kantang as lovers go. Kasi sobrang nadadama ko yung lyrics nung kanta. Siguro masama rin kaing nabrand ako ulang isang "lirt" o "naglalaro" lang sa panigin niya kaya ayun, rejected. Sabi nga ng kanta "You've got to be crazy, what do you take me for, some kind of easy mark?

Pero ako... seryoso ko, hindi ako tanga para sabihing mahal ko siya o anumang ganong kalokohan. Basta kaya kong sabihin na gusto ko siya, gusto ko siyang kilalanin at subukan pang mas mapalapit sa kanya. kaso yun nga flirting/infatuation lang ang labas nito sa paningin niya.

Magulo ang buhay ko pagdating sa mga ganitong bagay. hindi ko magamit dito yung karaniuwang confidence ko na kaya yan. Siguro kasi sa mga ganitong sitwasyon hindi lang sa akin nakasalalay ang mga bagay na nais kong mangyari.

Sabi dun sa kanta ni Sitti;

"Di kita pipilitin, sundin mo ang iyong damamin hayaan na lang tumibok ang puso mo para sa akin..."

Kaso paano kung hindi titibok ang puso niya para sa akin? Hahayaan ko na lang ba na lumipas yun?

Sabi nga ng Parokya ni Edgar

"At paano kung may contest na sinetup ang tadhana at ang unagn papremyo ay ang makasama ka
Di kaya sayang naman kung di ko man lang susubukan manalo sa paraffle ng tadhana..."

Sinabi rin nila na...

"ang pangarap ay mananatiling panaginip, kung wala akong gagawin upang makamtan ka..."

Of course by choosing one course of action over the other could lead to trouble. IF i force myself to stop, I think im short changing myself, sabi nga nila, " in the same way that you can't force people to like you, you can't force yourself to stop liking others as well.

However imposing my will, my desires on her (that didn't sound too nice) might end up destroying the friendship that we had/have.

Sabi nga sa kanta nung dating spice girl

"i thought that we would just be friends, things would never be the same again"

Alam nyo yung kantang "As Lover's Go" ng Dashboard Confessional? Wala parang nakakarelate ako sa kantang yan ngayon.

She said, "I've got to be honest,
You're wasting your time if you're fishin' around here."
And I said, "You must be mistaken,
I'm not foolin', this feelin' is real."
She said, "You've gotta be crazy!
What do you take me for? Some kinda of easy mark?"

"You've got wits,
You've got looks,
You've got passion,
But I swear that you've got me all wrong."

All wrong
All wrong
But you've got me

I'll be true, I'll be useful, I'll be cavalier,
I'll be yours my dear
And I'll belong to you
If you just let me through

This is easy as lovers go.
So don't complicate it by hesitating.
This is wonderful as loving goes.
This is tailormade,
What's the sense in waiting?

I said, "I've got to be honest,
I've been waiting for you all of my life."
For so long I thought I was asylum bound,
But just seeing you makes me think twice.
And being with you here makes me sane.
I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my side.

"You've got wits,
You've got looks,
You've got passion,
But are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?"

Tonight
Tonight
You've got me

I'll be true, I'll be useful, I'll be cavalier,
I'll be yours my dear
I'll belong to you
If you just let me through

This is easy as lovers go. So don't complicate it by hesitating.
This is wonderful as loving goes.
This is tailormade, what's the sense in waiting?

Casino Royale

I have another requirement for my Com class aside from the CJ, it's the artist date... yesterday I went with the family to Gateway to hear mass and eat. After eating, my dad and I decided to watch Casino Royale at the cinema. Now I know that the Artist date is supposed to be done alone but well while in the cinema and the movie was going on my dad and I did not interact with each other so i guess I could call that alone.

I really liked the opening video/introduction thingie, it was cool the way they used the suits of cards as different things from blood to bullets. Probably one of the best movie openings I've seen in a while.

The movie itself now... Well at first the guy didn't really seem Bond-ish to me ,he didn;t seem as suave or sleek as the same guy played by Pierce Brosnan. However when viewed in contrast with other Bonds (Sean connery and others) it seems that Pierce Brosnan is the odd one out. Perhpas its just that I got so used to the pierce brosnan bond that he got stuck as the 007 prototype (even the thomas crown affair seemed Bondish)

The famous bond girls were I guess sexy and pretty however they just don't seem to be my type haha. I guess it's just a matter of preference as I seem to gravitate more towards the fair skinned chinese types of girls (the closest bond girl to this was perhaps Michelle Yeoh)

A disappointment for me was the lack of gadgets in the movie. Well Sony had a lot of in move advertisements through the laptops and cell phones but other than that Bond seemed to lack some of the devices that used to be spy/agent staples.

A big addition to my enjoyment of the movie were the poker scenes, I used to frequent the site Triplejack to have my poker fix and it was quite interesting to think what I would have done had I been the one playing in the game in the movie. Now that I think about it, what about the people that don't enjoy poker?

Walang pasok dahil kay Bonifacio...



Naniniwala ako na ang paaralan ay nandiyan upang doon gawin ang mga gawaing pang paaralan. Kaya ang pang paaralan ay dapat iwan sa paaralan. ang bahay ko ay nakalaan para sa mga gawaing pambahay at may oras akong nilaan para sa paaralan at bahay. Ang oras sa paaralan, at oras sa bay ay bagamat parehong oras, magkaiba sila ng pingkakalaanan.

Kung gumawa ako ng pambahay na gawain sa paaralan (tulad ng pagliwaliw, paglaro, pagdaldal habang nagkaklase) sige patawan mo ako ng kaukulang parusa, at hingin sa akin na ang oras ko pang bahay ay ibigay sa gawaing pangparaalan (tulad ng homework). Ngunit kung binigay ko naman ang hinihingi sa oras ng klase...

Sa totoo lang hindi ako nanaiwala sa Cj na ito dahil ang oras ay laging umaanda at ayaw ko na dumating ang panahon kung saaan magbabalik tanaw ako at maiisip ko na ang oras ko ay ginamit ko sa pasusulat ng mga bagay na nakalipas na imbis na gamiting ito sa pagtuklas at pagdanas ng iba't iba pang mga bagay.

PLUG!
