Halo Halo Halo...

Wednesday, July 29, 2009

With this whole Kelly Clarkson vs. Ryan Tedder (from One Republic) fiasco because of similarities between her new single 'Already Gone' and Beyonce's 'Halo'...i have no comment! LOL! Don't MOST songs these days sound the same? Sigh...now everything is about capitalism, the art is long gone...but of course, there are exceptions...right?

I do love 'Halo'...it means something to sing those words to your significant other (which every person wishes they have). Something like love comes softly, if not naturally. For now, i'll just revel in the hotness that is that guy on the video! OMG, imagine those eyes looking back at you...with such love. Man, that guy must either be very much in love with Beyonce (she's so beautiful here!) or a very good actor, hehehe!

Enjoy the hotness...

This Song Is On Loop...

Baptized in the river...i see a vision of my life and i wanna be delivered...

That line from Good Charlotte's 'The River'...i keep singing it over and over and over again...help! I love the song, but can't I stop?

On a different note, i love the fact that M. Shadows (hott!) and Synyster Gates (super-duper cool!!! AND hot...at the same time, hehe!) are in it! Apart from Joel and Benji Madden, the rest of the GC guys are rather low-key...that's why i'm not familiar with them individually...unlike Synyster's bandmates...hahah!

Do i need to be delivered or something? Why can't i freakin' stop singin this song???

I Can't Believe This...

Monday, July 27, 2009

Seriously...my life is REALLY REALLY like a rollercoaster!!!

Yesterday...a day of frustration...today? Utter bliss!!! I went to Genting with my buds, and woot!!! I had a blast!!! But one thing that i also appreciate is this...I WON A BLACKBERRY BOLD SMARTPHONE!!!

I was in a queue, waiting for my turn at the coaster-ride...when suddenly, i receive a call...a pleasant-sounding lady telling me i won the grand prize of the Hallmark channel's contest...and i was jumping and screamed "OMG!!! YESSS!!!", much to the people around me! What a day!!! The days of TV during the holidays worked out for me in the end, eh? Hehehe!

Maybe some friends or family-members are pissed at my win (coz this is not the first time i won stuff...), but heck...this is a gift from Hallmark, and God! Of course, i'll take it with an open heart, ok? LOL...nope, not even anything negative said to me could get me out of this blissful day...which i know can't last...so i have no choice but to enjoy it while i can!

I love today...i had fun with M, A, and F...we acted like such fools, but hell! I love acting like a fool so much, i'm often mistaken for one (i am one most of the time :D)! The rides weren't super scary to me...coz the one i was waiting for was closed due to maintenance works...damn! But we went on all the rides possible, and i have no regrets! Luckily, i'm not one of those who gets scared easily at rollercoaster rides or heights..that was all ok to me.

So now, i'm gonna wake from this "dream day" by going to sleep...I love my family and friends and my life and God! I know, there's always the bad, but there's good most of the time too!

Peace out, y'all!

Multi-Layered Dads...Just Like An Onion?

Sunday, July 26, 2009

Ok, so just a few days ago i wrote a post about my love for mom and dad...and now, lemme write about my current mood; which is "Huh?"+ anger...

So i told my dad i was going to Genting with friends the other day...i was surprised he took it quite well, until; i reminded him yesterday...then, he started with a "Whatttt???"...and today, i got a nice lecture about my frequent "outings" with friends...i'm just sitting there like "WHATTAFUCK???"

Luckily, I don't know what divine power was keeping me super calm and collected, that i just shut the fuck up...while seeing my mom and sister's sympathetic face...hmmph!!! I mean, yeah so far...i went out like what...twice or so? WTF!!! And he said i didn't do any chores...OMG, did i not mop the floor in front of you the day before? I was literally laughing in my head at the ridiculousness!!! OMG...as i left, he then said..."Ok, have a good time and call us before and after you get there, k?"

If that ain't enough, my dad then started praising my sister for her help...that, ok...i agree! She has been a big help! But my dad is crayzay!!! Hahahaha...Okok...what else? Oh yeah...after laughing it off with my sis in the car...my mom calls and she tells me that she too was given a lecture? What??? Not cool!!! I think tonight, dad is just plain cayzaaaayyyyyy!!!

And too make it more laughable, my dad initially didn't let my sister send me back to uni...coz when i told him about it, he said "This is too much..." (I'm laughing in my head as i type this!!!) He said it with his index finger swaying in the air...much like a dictator giving his propaganda...

It's a revelation how my dad sometimes act like this...his moods are much like a woman on menopause; well...maybe? Hahaha! All i know is that i take it with a grain of salt, and i laugh it off coz he knows i wouldn't take it to heart...it's funny though! He said he wouldn't have let me go...but my mom said i should...and because of that, he's letting me go!!! THANK GOD FOR MOM!!!

But what's funnier is my baby sister acting the fool while dad lectures me...she was entertaining to the brink of madness! Can you imagine trying to act serious, while dad is giving you a lecture...and then this little girl dances around you, and play peek-a-boo around your dad! Bwahahahahaha...i just love her, you know? Sigh, my spoilt little baby...i wouldn't wanna imagine my (our) life without her!!! She is just a blessing to my family...i don't even for a second think that they would remain...i don't think we would be as close as we are now...all these scenarios, we would never know coz God has blessed us with this gift...LOL! How rich!!! From dad's onion-like layers to my baby sister...how my thoughts flow is somewhat a mystery by itself!!!

To reiterate my point, though...My dad is an onion!!! Hahahaha...

I Just Don't Get Some People...

Saturday, July 25, 2009

Why the fuck are you so freakin' inconsiderate? You know there's such a thing as queueing-up, right? And don't act like you freakin' don't know there's a fuckin' line ok? It was clear as a fuckin' black dot on a white screen! I hate it when you act like you don't know and/or are ignorant to the fact that there's a line!!! YOU KNOW!!! DON'T ACT OBLIVIOUS, OK??? WE (the people who are actually civilized and waited for our turn) WEREN'T BORN YESTERDAY!!! And don't for a minute think that I don't know...you were in the other station, right before me, buying a ticket from the machine...you were the one who kept sticking you stupid RM10 note for what seemed like an hour...so if the machine rejects your note like 6 times...give up ok? Stupid!!! I swear to God, if i had no patience at all, i would have embarassed you like no other...but thank God i was patient, and that you had given up and left!

So don't hate me when i freakin' scold your muthaf***in' ass!!! Asswipe!!! And your huge-ass tudung won't scare me ok???

As we Malaysians say, "Amek ko!!!"

I'm Lovin' It!

Friday, July 24, 2009

I love this template...hahahah!!! It rocks!

Lucky for Me...I Am Blessed!

Friday, July 24, 2009

I don't know why i suddenly thought of posting about my parents...i mean, i haven't actually written that i love them so...i always have, but never actually written a post specially for them...well, maybe i have but forgotten about it, but i wanna write one NOW!

I don't actually know how my life would be without them, but i sure know that i am one of those lucky people who sometimes feel that they don't deserve such wonderful people as their parents...i mean, you could have all the riches in the world, and you can have parents who don't give a damn about you, right? Sometimes it overwhelms me how much i can't live without them, i almost cry when i imagine my life without them.

One thing good about me is that i never take them for granted...ever since! I'm so happy for that. Yeah, yeah sometimes they are a pain, but so am i, right? We are ALL humans, we are NOT perfect! But to me, no matter how many heroes i adore and respect...my number 1 will always be them both...Mom & Pops!

And that is why, i wanna be the best person i can be just so that i could justify all your sacrifices you made for me and my sisters. I don't even know why i'm feeling like i miss you guys, even though i'll see you tomorrow (i know, stupid right?) and i just talked to you...but i just know what you guys went through in each of your individual lives and your lives together...and as much as you fight about this and that, even if one day you might end up apart (God forbid...)-- I know you love your children to the brink of selflessness! I just hope all those selfless sacrifices would be worth it in the end.

I pray that BOTH my sisters and I would be able to achieve greatness and finally give you the riches you deserve! I'm glad i say "I love you" so i will never regret NOT saying it when it's too late...may God hear my prayers and bless you both...for I am ALREADY blessed. AMEN!

Maintenant...

Wednesday, July 22, 2009

Yesterday...i splurged again!!! Oh man...must stop spending!!! If this continues i shall be broke by the end of the month! Arrrgghhhh!!!

So my friends and i have been going out since we started classes, and in a way it's good coz we often have a blast, but we are getting more and more greedy in a sense that we buy stuff we don't need. This is no laughing matter...but it's fun when you're in that whole adrenaline-pumping shopping mode.

And another thing...i hate procrastination...but that's what i do. And after thinking about it, i'm taking matters into my own hands! Hahahah, yeah baby...i'm gonna do whatever i planned to do one step at a time...but of course, i'll do it within reason. So this Monday, i'm goin' on a sponteneously planned outing to the place where all of us can act stupid for a few hours...hopefully, the weather would be cool and fine coz we bought tickets already! Hahaha...

We bought the tickets yesterday, and went shopping again! *gasps* Then, we bought one of my latest obsession...Kripy Kreme's original glazed doughnuts!!! Heaven...especially while it's warm...*drools* I remember when i bought it for the 1st time...i thought a dozen was too many...after taking my first bite, i knew...i knew it wasn't enough! LMAO!!! Now i know how Homer Simpson feels...

I'M SUCH A PIG!!! LOL!

And today...i spent the day chatting with my oldest bestie...we had a fun time catching up, and she wishes that we could go back in time. Yeah, it would be great to look back, but i'm actually lookin' forward to see what the future holds. So i have no regrets about any part of my past. It made me who i am...

And yesterday, while my buddy-buds were having dinner, i told M i envisioned her marrying an older man...someone who knows how to treat a lady. She was lovin' it coz she's into older gentlemen...hehehe! Then she told me that she saw me with a hot-bodied hunk, but i would wear the pants in the relationship coz i will be the one who gets the flowers coz he would be the 'girl' and a crybaby, and i would be the one to comfort him...then the laugh fest began!!! Coz that sounds like me...ROFL!!!

F, on the other hand would be with a super-duper religious man, sporting a beard! Hahahaha...then she would act all wise and religious, but when we come for a visit, she'll be her 'real' self...and start acting all rough and unladylike! We literally laughed like fools!!! And last but not least, A would end up with a super-cute funny geek with emo hairstyle, just like the vocalist of her favorite local rock band! OMG...this is fun! The F had to spoil it all and differ M's opinion...she said i would end up with a religious Chinese nerd...LMAO...and somehow i said, "You know...you're right!"

I can't believe how much i'm LOL-ing at this as i write...and now i shall end it with this: I LOVE YOU GUYS...Uni would be so diferent without you. In the future, i will definitely look back at moments like this and say, "Those were some fun times..."

Regardless of whoever we each end up with, i pray that we all be happy in life, and achieve whatever dreams we have...AMEN!

Oh, i forgot...i saw these monster doll-like creatures in Mid Valley and couldn't help wanting to take pics with them...till my they got mad and rushed me into taking pics...i wanted to take the ones on display, that 2 guys pushing a toddler (in a pram) actually laughed at me...i even almost crashed into the pram coz i didn't realize he was there...LOL! They are some cute-looking monsters, ok? But i only got a few...too bad!

About A Clockwork Orange...

Monday, July 20, 2009

I once saw a clip of this movie on some countdown of old weird movies, and i was instantly drawn to its super freaky plot and it's just...just...plain weird for me to even explain! I was hooked, and tried to search the movie here in Malaysia and it couldn't be found...it's about some young, crazy hooligans and what its main character goes through...it's just freakin' awesome, hahaha! It starred a young Malcom McDowell (who was kinda cute...)

Title? A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess...

So imagine my surprise when I spotted it at my library! I was ecstatic! So now, after finishing my first read (i borrowed five books in one day!), I started with this one...and the first page already uses some weird slang or maybe made-up words? Damn! This is soooo freakin' fun! Hahahaha...

I tend to read a lot of classic books...the last was Of Mice & Men by Steinbeck (one of my fave authors)...after that, i watched the movie too! LOL! It was luck, coz it played on TV a few weeks after i read it!

Next up: The 2 classic political satire by the satire-meister...Orwell! So ok, i read 1984 and Animal Farm...but i didn't finish those as assignment were nearing. But for now, i'm just chilling, so why not repeat, eh? I read 2-3 at a time, so no problem in that department! LOL!

I missed this...i'm lovin' this moment (of what i'm experiencing right NOW), and i want it to last! May it be so...

Toodlez, bitches!!!

Weird-ass!!!

Sunday, July 19, 2009

Like as if you didn't know i'm a weirdo...my dreams sometimes kick it into highER gear...LOL!

I dreamt I was super-duper-uber late for my exam, that i went o the hall ONE day late! OMFG...super scary!!! But!!! Thats not the weird part...get this: the person in charge, a male authority guy became my best friend, and he was gay! So...he was my Will!!! Hahahahahaha...My bestest gay friend!!!

And we had a blast! We became roomies, and he brought his hot bf...OMG, i totally dreamt I was Grace from season 7 (give or take, right W?)...but i've never had so much fun just chatting with them...it was great, even if it was a dream...i laughed so hard! I can't imagine my face while sleeping, hahahaha!

Ok, this is weird...how come my conscious life images get jumbled up into a weird-ass dream? Oh, yeah...i forgot---that's what dreams are!!! LOL! One thing though...i rarely get the old lucid dreams anymore...it's pretty much gone! It sucks when you can't fly...

Watched Titanic yesterday...AGAIN!!! Yeah, loved it! Leonardo was such a cute boy, hehehe! And i just love Kate Winslet then AND now...she's such a great actress!

Well, i may be going somewhere today...but i'm not sure where...depends on the driver, in which, i'll have to treat! Awww, man!

Yesterday...All My Troubles Seemed So Far Away

Friday, July 17, 2009

Something about yesterday...it was hectic, but it was one of those days where you go, "Whoah!!! That was fun..."

So ok...for me, the best things are spontaneous...plans are great, of course...but i find that i have MORE fun when something is decided all of a sudden...LOL! By ALL OF US, mind you! Not when it's just ONE person deciding to go somewhere, inevitably forcing us to go along with the idea (out of courtesy, hehehe) *wink wink*

The day started with an 8am class, which ended exactly at 10am...on the dot! So how the hell are we supposed to make the next class, which is at 10am? In another faculty, mind you!!! So, we didn't make it on time...hahaha, but it's all good! The schedule has been changed! Loved the class though...learnt about food, my fave subject, LOL! In French...

So, after class...we had some lunch, then another class!!! Boy, i was almost going off to sleep at that time, BUT before that, we decided to go out somewhere...maybe for a movie? How about a fun time at a karaoke joint? Hahaha, so we did both! We wanted to go accompany a friend of ours who was fasting...so we could eat out! Fed up of cafeteria food...

And after everything, we ended up watching a night movie of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in this small cinema at Kajang!!! How's that!!! Lol, i'm just saying...the balls we had for watching a night movie, as transportation after 11pm is virtually non-existent! Luckily for us...we were 4 tough cookies, LOL! And yeah...2 of the 4 cookies were coaxed into staying at my dorm (and M's too)...yay!

Came back around 12am, which is early for me actually...but damn, it was pretty empty...i mean the streets of Kajang were so deserted, it seemed almost scary! And there was ONLY 1 taxi waiting there...thank God, there was at least ONE taxicab! Nothing like KL, where people and lights are on till the morning!

Initially: chilled at Starbuckeroos with A (M & F went to pray), and i saw a man wearing a black bandana...with his weird-ass shirt, he looked like a pirate, so i told A that "...there walks the pirate of Kajang" in which she LOL-ed! Yay...1-0!!! Meh, you had to be there to find it funny! :P

Harry Potter rocked!!! OMG, i can't wait to see the next installment!!! Of course, i'm not a reader of the series...but i love the movies! Yeah, Ron was looking pretty buff, hehehe...me likey! I kept teasing A who initially said that Draco Malfoy was handsome...i was like "WTF? Blind much?" then she saw him, and changed her mind...hahahahaha!!! He USED to be cute...USED to! He looks anorexic now. I call him her bf now, hehehe...and she pointed out that Harry's eyebrows look like that of Eugene Levy...which i TOTALLY agree with!!! I literally LOL-ed at the cinema at that moment...1-1!

Next time: longer hours on the karaoke please? So much skipping songs due to time constraints...hahahaha!!! Screaming rocks! Well, i better go before i vomit more nonsensical words!!!

Toodlez, bitches!

PS: My sis is getting an LG Cookie due her old phone breaking into 2...Hahahaha! Yeah, i'm so jealous! Damn, why couldn't my phone have spoiled at this moment when dad has some cash? Why, oh why!!!

PPS: Well, at least for now, they (you know who) aren't fighting...yay! God bless us! But i hope it doesn't go downhill once the cash flow comes to a standstill, like it always does.

Thank You...

Friday, July 17, 2009

Found out yesterday that my aunt died...my dad's eldest sister was the one who actually took care all of her younger siblings when their mom left! Despite their own mother leaving them, she took care of her younger brothers and sisters...my dad, the youngest boy in the family. Aat least...now i know this made him the man that he is today!

My dad found out and immediately went to Klang right away with my mom...and my poor sister is home alone with baby sis! I felt so guilty for not being able to go home at that moment!

After talking to mom and dad today, they said i didn't have to go home...all i had to do was pray for my aunt, that she attains peace and is blessed by God. Her early burial is because that she is a Muslim convert, hence...the immediate burial.

I would like to leave this post with another poem for comfort of those that were left behind...it's quite popular in funerals, as it is simply beautiful! It is by Mary Elizabeth Frye...and the first time i heard this poem...i had tears in my eyes! Here goes:

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.

May God bless you...

Poetic Philosophies Speak To Me

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

Today, i felt like writing about poems that i love...so here goes!

I totally forgot which movie or TV show this poem came from, but it stuck to my head immediately after hearing it...i seriously fell in love with it coz of course, everybody hopes for this...at least for once in your life! So then, after typing it in Google (what would life be without Google?) i got the title of Cummings' words...it's called "Somewhere I Have Never Travelled, Gladly Beyond":

somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands



The part that I heard was the final stanza...that was was made me 'pay attention'. I mean, as much as Cummings is known for his wrongly-punctuated poems, this really spoke to me; especially the part of "i do not know what it is about you that closes and opens; only something in me that understands the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses"...i mean, wow! Okok, it's basically impossible for me to explain how this affects me, but it does...period!

I also decided to post another poem, but this one has a darker tone to it...it's about love tearing you apart, that you warn others not to put everything on the table for him/her to take...it's by Yeats, and i also love it...it seems real to me, and it is also based on his love for Maud Gonne... i think! There are many more poems written about her or to her, but this one really is heartbreaking to me...it's called "Never Give All the Heart":

Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that's lovely is
But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.
O never give the heart outright,
For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
He that made this knows all the cost,
For he gave all his heart and lost.

So here ends the analyses of poems, both are two ends of a coin: An oxymoron. A paradox. An irony. That's what life is...that's how love is.

Wow, i surprise myself sometimes! I should do this stuff more often...

Toodlez, bitches!!!

New Term Outbreak

Saturday, July 11, 2009

Just a week since classes had started, and i'm one of those unfortunates who have fallen victim to the current flu outbreak. At first, it was one of those suspected A H1N1 viruses, but nooooo...turns out, it was just the boring old flu! LOL! A relief? Hell yeah!

What can i say? A pretty hard week...solely based on my physical vulnerability. I hate it when i am weak. I hate it when this happens. But then again, i'm only human! So now...on this day, the cold i was having has become a painful cough, and yeah...due to my history with asthma, it is a wheezing cough. Damn crap! Oh, the horror! The HORROR!!!

I've finally gone to the driving school to convert my license which expired almost 2 months ago, hehehe...OMG, thank goodness i haven't forgotten about it...or else! This is what happens when you let people drive you around, and not drive yourself.

What else can I say? Oh yeah...so far, i have been to 3 of my 5 classes...i sure hope i make it through this semester with flying colors and also make a great impression on the lecturers. I don't like it when lecturers favor students who kiss their asses, so i'm pretty thankful that so far, most of my former lecturers hate that! Don't get me wrong, there are some who absolutely love it, but lucky for me...i am not one of those bootlickers!

My room is kinda ok...pretty small, but i've had worse! Whatever it is...i am thankful!

Oh yeah, i forgot...regarding MJ's death; he will be missed despite his shortcomings, but who would've thought of such things happening to the King of Pop, eh? I wouldn't have! Damn, i 've forgotten how many songs he had! And they were all good! I could still remember my uncle playing his concerts on VHS, and his singles on VCDs...he has made an impression on every kind of music today...and will forever be remembered! R.I.P., Michael...no matter how we made fun of you for the way you looked (you gotta admit, he looked pretty funny!), you will, and always will be remembered for your music, your dance moves, your elaborate music videos, your philantropy, your girly voice, your evolution from black to white, your affinity towards children (good or bad), your Peter Pan complex, etc...

What i'm saying is...the world has lost one of the greatest entertainers that ever graced this Earth! Long live the King of Pop! Peace out!

2nd Week Update

Friday, July 10, 2009

During the 1st week, we were supposed to go here, there and everywhere...especially shopping in Manila...unfortunately, the many cases of A H1N1 made my mom say, "I don't wanna risk it!"...and so that's why we were just in the province since...of course, we went to the malls, but i wanted to see Manila. So, when my dad joined us the week later, we made up our minds to go to Olongapo City...and spend the night at Subic Beach, then go to Manila and shop.

So off we went!

The highlight of my trip here is this particular boat ride...we went quite far, alittle less than 2 hours, visiting other resorts and islands, spotting huge tankers, cruise ships, a port, etc...Subic was a former U.S. naval base, so go figure...many Americans over there. Mostly old men with their prostitutes...something so common, that we weren't even surprised. We, however, booked the family suite which faces the beach...just get over the small barrier, and voila, you can build sandcastles...it's THAT close by.

The boating session is what really got me...I felt so much peace at the serenity...i thanked God at that moment!

After that, it was long trips to Manila, shopping, and who could forget...watching a live band at the Riverbank or something of that sort...man, the band was awesome! They did classic rock tunes my Journey, Toto, Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Guns 'n Roses...OMG, the band were "old-timers", as dad says...the vocalist had that voice so suitable for this kind of music; kinda like Steve Perry from Journey! I really loved it.

As usual, dad had to talk to them, buy them drinks and chat...yeah, my dad loves to chat up his fellow musicians...and guess what? They performed and live in Malaysia...some married Malaysians and Singaporeans, then divorced...hahahaha!

AND one of them are best friends with my Malaysian cousin! What a small world!!! Just at that moment, everyone said the same thing..."What a small world, eh?" I don't even know what lead them to talk about my cousin, a DJ...but yeah, that was like a moment of freakish coincidence!

The food? What shall i say bout the food? Some were awesome, and some weren't...it's so easy to feed me, as i'm not really picky...but some were just too 'ughhh'!

You see, there...there are the all-imported Pizza Huts and McDonalds and KFCs...but guess what? They have their very own fast-food chains.

CHOW KING--> a chinese-filipino fast food chain, serving chinese food (though i must say, nothing beats Malaysian chinese food!!! YUMMO!) that aren't spicy...plus, most have sweetish taste, which i don't like!

JOLLIBEE-->a burger-fries kinda fast food chain, serving filipino flavors in American style fast food...there's local flavors and stuff...but i don't really fancy it. Their burger patties have celery or coriander-like flavors which i find not suitable for beef patty burgers...and this is an ultimate sin for me: THEIR SPAGHETTI IS SWEET, SUPER SWEET!!! I don't like it at all!!! I'm sorry, i have my limits! Hahahahaha...

Okok...feeling like crap now, will continue later...i wanna go choke myself to death!

Tuesday, July 07, 2009

I'm Back!!!

Tuesday, July 07, 2009

Yes, i'm back, but i have too much to say, and i haven't thought of what the heck i'm gonna write, except that i had 2 weeks of total paradoxes!

1st week was a total chill-out session, where i was in the barangay or village in my grandfather's province, Pampanga...where everyone spoke a dialect called Capampangan. My mother spoke it, but i could not even begin to tell you how different it is from Tagalog...at least i could understand Tagalog when people speak it to me, but what? A whole new dialect? Shit...or shall i say "taklak!" (Capampangan for "shit") ...that's the only word i know. Oh, oh...and also "mekeni" which is "c'mon!"

Told you bout the pumping of water and seeing paddy fields, cows, chickens, buffalos, etc...right? Rode on jeepneys and tricycles many times, as that's the main way of getting anywhere around...yeah, my grandpappy has no car, so this is how we rolled, yo! LOL! Fun times...

I have also improved my Tagalog, comprehension-wise, not speaking-wise...i still don't have the confidence to speak, unless it's for fun...hahahaha! I have also gotten addicted to the teleseryes playing on the networks; Totoy Bato and Zorro...LMAO! Seriously! I watched it with my granpa...well, you know me...TV addict! And man, those actors and actresses are attractive...not ALL, but MOST...my new fave Pinoy actor is Ian Veneracion...yummo!

And every night there's a man selling Pan de Sal (some sort of hot buns) which are so fluffy and warm, it's like your very own comfort food! Put some butter or Cheez Whiz on it, and voila...fatso-builder!

That's for the first week...pretty casual...and the time during the 1st week is super-freakin' weird...why? Because time seem to pass rather slowly...i'm dead serious! You know how time passes quickly all the time? In the place where i was, it sure didn't, dudes! It's like you check the clock to see if the hour has passed, and then you find out, "whoah, it's only been 15 minutes? WTF?"

It's THAT weird! Hahahaha...and the day ends earlier...as in, the darkness sets around 6pm, and the morning brightens at 6am. And I, for some reason sleep and wake up early over there! Wow, what an achivement, eh? LMAO! Dad would be sooooo proud!
