A Hard Day's Night

wooh! finally i got the chance to watch this movie ive been dying to see this but i couldnt see any copy of it. luckily after all those hard and sweaty days of letting myself soil into the place called "quiapo" to just give it a try if i could find one, finally payed off! yey! man its soo freaking hilarious and so cool! those 87mins. of fun and listening to the tune of the Bealtes was all worth watching. its good to see the other side of the fab4. their hilarious tactics and child-like attitude really makes me like them even more especially Ringo. for me i think hes the funniest one. hes funny in a sense that he doesnt know the hes already being funny. John Lennon was i think the goofiest while Paul seems to be the most mature out of the four and lastly George as the shy and serious more of type of guy. i was singing along to the tune of "a hard days night, if i fell, and i lover her, she loves you" and list oges on...i really had so much fun watching it and age does really matter for you to enjoyed a film even if its way out of your age bracket.

YESTERDAY-THE BEATLES-FOREVER

What matters most...she makes me smile.

about 2 months ago (last week of march i think) i finally decided to meet up with her, i dunno just out of curiousity i guess and para narin matigil na yung pangungulit sakin kasi gusto talaga ni trina na mameet daw ako ni akhis. i finally gave in. one thing that is a big turn off sakin sa babae eh yung nakikipag inuman. sure ok yun. pero for me parang for 1 night stand sake lang yung mga ganung babae (i mean not in a sexual way) yun bang na meet mo lang sa isang bar then flirt na kayo. so yun nag meet na kami ni akhis at first syempre tahimik talaga ako at di ko kinakausap si akhis, si julius naman panay ang asar sakin at pinag tabi kami ni julius sa table. about a minute or so nung nag ka amats na ako naging comfortable na ako sa kanya agad instantly! that rarely happen since im not that kind of guy na ma boka or in short bolero but with this girl i dunno, halos sya yung nag dala nung kwnetuhan i just go with the flow pero sobrang saya ko that night instantly nag click kami i even remember julie confronted me nung nag cr sila trina he said "chay! i know a couple when i see one. para na nga kayong mag syota. grabe ang dikit nyo sa isat-isa" ako mismo nagulat din bakit ganun ka palagay ang loob ko sa kanya. after that night, we exchanged message every night para naging ritual ko na nag mag text. coming from a guy that texting is my least favorite thing to do. pero sobrang tyaga talaga ni akhis mag text sakin. until one day sinabi nya na "sabi sakin ni trina na hindi ka daw nag ttext ah" i said to myself, oh shit! baka mawalan ng gana to sakin kasi napapdalas na ang di ko pag rereply sa mga text nya" i just said "di lang talaga ako masipag mag text eh. pasensya ah" as days passed napadalas narin ang pag kikita namin. minsan pupunta sya ng UE para makipag kita sakin (at talaga sya pa talaga ang dumadalaw eh no? ang kapal muks!!!). she makes me smile all the time. though she's not my ideal girl (smoker kasi sya eh. ayoko pa naman sa babae ang nag ssmoke) pero narealize ko na lahat pala ng qualities nayun eh mawawala once you get to know her more and your feelings towards her will grew gradually which what happen in my case. i admit, hindi ako maeffort pag dating sa panliligaw di ako yung hatid dito, hatid doon, texting constantly, and meet ups always. di ako ganun which i feel so guilty about. syempre ako lalake kaya kailan mag hirap ako. when it comes to ahkis she totally accepted of how the way things i do when it comes to courting. actually wala daw talaga ako KA EFFORT EFFORT! compare daw sa mga other admirers nya. just last friday i feel so guilty and embarassed at the same time. since nag ssummer class ako and 6pm ang last subject ko. i texted her about 5;30pm and said "miss na kita. kailan kaya tayo ulit mag kikita?" she just said "punta ako dyan manila ngayon. kita tayo" i said "what?! eh nasa bulacan ka kaya?!" she replied "di yan. mabilis lang ang byahe" wow! for a girl to do that to a guy?! i mean, ako ba ang nangliligaw o sya?! tang'na talaga! nung nag meet na kami around 7pm. hindi matanggal yung ngiti ko yung nakita ko sya sa mcdo, espana sobrang namiss ko sya. we deceided nga pala na mag inuman. (by the way, first time ko nun makipag inuman sa babaeng may feelings ako) no dull moments nung mag katabi na kami sa table. im so happy. i told her that night that "i think im falling for you" natawa ako sa ginawa nya. tumigin sya sakin at saka nilagay nya yung palad nya sa muka ko at sabay syang yumuko. i really dont know what to say what matters most is that she really makes me

we're actually 3. minus miscarriage.

all throughout my life im longing to have a brother(kuya/little bro). not that im saying i despise my sister but its just that iba parin talaga pag may kapatid kang lalake para kasundo mo sa mga maraming bagay. last night habang kainuman ko yung tito ko, i found out na my mom had a miscarriage 3 years later after i was born. that information really shake my whole system and i couldnt speak for about a minute or so. my mom never told me anything about her miscarriage maybe because its too painfull for my parents to even brought that up to us. but the reality hadnt sink in to me yet. it really bums me out. he couldve been 18 y/o right now if he was alive. even though ive never met him. (my tito said it was a baby boy) theres something longing in me. the thought of actually someone will calli me "kuya" really touched me so much. i get teary eyed knowing i once had a little brother. i know im getting melodramatic but i just cant help it. to my little brother,

"TOL! mahal na mahal ka ng kuya chay mo. nakalungkot nga lang kasi di tayo nagkita. pero dont worry in time magkakasama tayo. at sana pag dating ko, mag iinuman tayo dyan kung nasan ka man! hehe. love you tol!"

The Client

an 11 year old boy who witness the suicide of a lawyer who happens to know the biggest unsolve problem. the missing body of a US senator Boyette Boyd.

this is the first book that ive read and the first John Grisham novel that i read (with the exception of HP3 & Da Vinci Code, i just read that to see whats the fuss' all about) that i fell in love it and literally cant get my hands of it. i said to myself i wouldnt dare to bother read a book that is thick as yellow page. i barely even finish 1 chapter! but this book change my perception about reading books, the desire to find what happens next keeps me turning pages without me knowing that its already 5am! plus what got me hooked about this novel is its a legal thriller, you know courtroom drama kind of stuff. though after reading it i was kind'f disappointed just a bit cos i didnt find the ending too extravagant, i dont know maybe it just me or maybe grisham thinks that "its already common sense! duh!" the fact that is just ended *spoiler* with the goodbyes and all without detailing how Muldanno got arrested just kind'f a cliffhanger for me. but its really really good. im very well entertain, all those grooling latenights was definetly all worth it i finished reading this one in about just a week which really surprise me. by the way, ive already seen the movie adaptation and it sucks very badly! some of the details werent seen AND they even change/add some parts. totally murdered the book! *sigh* guess thats just the way hollywood goes. too bad.

The Testament

In a plush Virgnia office, a rich, angry old man is furiously rewriting his will. with his death just hours away, troy Phelan wants to send a message to his children, his ex-wives, and his minions, a message that will touch off a vicious legal battle and transform dozens of lives.
Because troy Phelan's new will names a sole surprise heir to his $11B fortune: a mysterious woman named Rachel Lane, a missionary deep in the jungle of Brazil.
Enters the lawyers. Nate O'Riley is fresh out of rehab, a disgraced corporate attorney handpicked for his latest job: to find Rachel Lane at any cost. as Phelan's family circles like vultures in D.C., Nate is crashing through the Brazilian jungle, entering a world where money means nothing, where death is just one misstep away, and where a woman-pursued by enemies and friends alike- holds a stunning surprise of her own...

this by the way is the 2nd book by john grisham that i read. it took me by surprise on how the story goes so well that is why in just 3 days i finished the book. the ending kind'f breaks my heart though, its really sad how grisham decided to end it that way. *sigh*

Maganda ka sana eh, pero kung mag text ka "EoW pOh.uxtAahH icqAw pOh?!"

Seriously, sinong BOBO ang nag pauso nito?! nakaka turn-off amp!. understandable na siguro sa phone (pero para sakin hindi rin kahit sa text eh) but even sa pag ttype sa computer kailangan ganun?! i find those people who writes these kinds of stuffs too shallow, i mean c'mon people! before iniiksian yung mga words pero ngayon pinapahaba na nila lalo! i often encounter through some text messages that i cant barely read! i even need the help of some my friends to translate what it means (in a normal way). heres one of the most bizarre text message that i actually received:

".6ndan6 gabe.
.tAe cA c6ue uAk cA m6tecx nA ??nx na atUu.
.hNap aLan ktEcx bAd3p Ln cCe ..
npahanap 2lo?

.jh?EeMz."

i was like, where in Gods name is that language came from?! i feel like im Bill Murray in "Lost in Translation" except that were both filipino. see the irony? ang sakit sa mata sobra! and i may add, NA KAKA-NOSEBLEED! (kala ko sa math ko lang ma eecounter yun) not that i only find this people shallow, but i pity them as well. G-M nga 2 letters nalang gagawin pang "jh?EeMz" or "Ghee EhM"these kind of people really has some serious issue stuck up on their cuckoo brains! you think its cool? i say it only shows how dumb you really are! sasabihin nyo "paki mo ba eh di naman ikaw ang nahihirapan mag text ah, kami naman ah" at sa tingin nyo naman hindi ako nahihirapan sa pag basa ng text nyo?! and whats with the "muah-muah/hugs!?!" what are you 8? and you still havent gone through puberty?! seriously, baby talks & pa-cute phrase are so fucking annoying! act your own age and dont even get me started with "pass this message to 10 of your friends or else..." blah blah shit! I KNOW GOD STILL LOVE ME EVEN THOUGH I TRASH OUT YOUR CRAP GROUP MESSAGE. THANK YOU. you know what, because of such word structure that has been massively widely used now a days (ate ko ng nag ttext ng "22O b i2?!" shame on you ate!) most specially the infamous phrase of them all even Patrick wouldnt dare use such foul and tacky sentence *drum roll* "D2 NA ME, WER NA U?" it degrades not only our dialects (tagalog/english) but also our status as of the highly educated and english speaking nation as well. (or was)

i guess thats all i can say and besides...OpiYoN Koh LnG nmn pOh yn Eh. pEheez pOH tauNg lht. Muah! kiss-kiss! hugs!!!!

(YEAH! SARCASM RULES!!!)

THE GODFATHER PART III

It actually took me 2 years before i finally decided to watch it. why? becasue i was afraid that this one may not stack up to the level of greatness of what the Godfather part 1 & 2 had given me after hearing those harsh critisicm that this movie had received.it was really really bad! even james caan himself (sonny) said that there should'nt be a part 3! so it got me thinking, was it really that bad?! i had a copy of this bought long time ago along with part 1 & 2, but i just stop there after watching the parts 1 & 2. then 2 years later i finally decided to go see it. i was really surprised of the outcome, i admit it wasnt that great as the previous Godfather's but still good enough,its still there on my level of "must-watch films". its the perfect ending of the Godfather saga. Michael is so different here, not just the fact that he's already old, but on the movie, michael's more cerebral and less violent like on the first time ive seen him on part 1(earlier part) and of course the different between this one and the 2 Godfather's is that, the part 1&2 barely has flaws while this one you can really state the obvious. first of, casting Sorfia Coppola as Mary Corleone. what were they thinking?! its so uncomfortable seeing her doing scenes especially with his father played by none other than Al Pacino! that was a bad decision of Francis ford casting his own daughter playing one of the important character in the movie. i gotta give props to Andy Gracia though, he really give justice playing the son of Sonny, who IMO one of the most interesting character in the story of Corleone clan. he really nailed the "sonny-temper" attitude as if his really his son. very good one indeed. the movie wasnt really that bad trust me. its quite actually good! now this one should be call as THE GODFATHER PART 2. as i really despise to call the PART 2 as PART "2". for me the part 1&2 are just equally superior to each other. i do hope though that this is going to be the end of the The Godfather series,. its just the perfect ending for me no more, no less. if theres going to be a part 4, uhm Vincent Corleone being the new Don??? tsk tsk, no way man. he cannot, on many level can put up to the characters as Don versus the real Don's played by the two great VITO & MICHAEL CORLEONE.

21

now that im legally "legal" to do anything that i want to (i think ive already did those things before i turn 21. lol) but seriously, turning 21 made me realize that as years go by birthday's arent that big of a deal after all(anymore). i mean all the excitements and anticipations were all shattered each year as my age adds up. maybe the reason for that is that 5 years ago when our mom left us for abroad, things begun to change enormously, physically, emotionally and i might say "financially". i remember when our mom left us to work abroad that was week before christmas, i mean couldnt she just leave right after christmas? but my my mom already had the ticket and theres nothing she can do about it. i remember right before mama left us that morning i was preparing my stuffs to go to school (i was 4th yr high school back then) while i was fixing my shoe sitting on the floor, my mom sat beside me and said

"mag paka bait ka ah, alagan mo lagi sila papa at ate mo. wag mong papabayaan ang pag aaral mo ah. love na love ka ni mama. sandali lang naman ako mawawala eh saka kailangan ko lang talaga gawin to para sa kinabukasan nyong mag kapatid..."

i didnt said anything back and i just nod along as if im all fine with it i didnt even looked at my mom because she was already crying at that moment. i just stood up right away and said "ma, alis na ko. my exams pa ko eh baka ma late na ko." when i was about to go out of our house my mom suddenly approach me and once again gave me a hug so tightly and she started to cry again. as i walked far away from our house i didnt looked back but i know my mom was still there looking at me until she can no longer she me in her sight. on my way to school tears just flows in my eyes, i can no longer bare the emotion that i was hiding even before we had that conversation moments ago, the reason for that is that i just dont want to show my mom that i was really crying deep inside because that just may affect her even more. i am so much closer to my mom than to dad, my mom is like a good old friend that i can always depend on and share my problems with that is why when she left for abroad i was really really devastated. Christmas, New Years and Birthday's (espcially mine) has been different for us for the past five years not having my mom spending with us. even though my mom is not with us spending those important occasions she keeps it a point that she calls us every now and then, we call our mom almost everyday as if shes with us but the thing is she cant be with us physically. as i turned 21, birthdays are no longer big deal for me, (for now) i dont know i just dont simply get the importance of it anymore maybe im just saying this because my mom is not with me to celebrate it, back when i was kid my mom is usually the first one to greet me, she will crawled up to my bed and wakes me up and greets me "happy birthday!". maybe it does not boils down to that reason,i dont know,maybe im too old for that kind of stuffs anymore (no. not that thing where my mom wakes me up. HECK NO!) what i mean is, im too old to celebrate my birthday. its like "hey its your birthday chay!" and ill respond "yeah i know, tara inuman tayo" thats it, my perception of birthdays are now different back when i was kid. before when i heard of birthdays all i can think of are ballons, cakes, and of course, presents! but now Beers, Yosi, beers, yosi..see the difference from then and now? lol! and i can say is that i know this is not the kind of stuff that i should be bragging about but here it goes, they say that once you reach the legal age you are now in your new chapter of your life and you can now do the crazy stuffs you all wanted to do. but for me i think all those "stuffs" i already done that when i reach 16! (sex, drugs, piercings, vices and everything your parents forbid you not to do) but still not all. i said to myself before or when i turn 21 ill get myself a tattoo, thats my next step. as the matter of fact im going to get one later!. is that mean i already surpass the "supposed" chapter of my life and i am now to the next serious chapter one? but having said all those things that doesnt make me a bad person or whatever you do in your life is a reflection of how your parents brought you to be. THATS BS! my parents are so totally out of this. its my own my choice. i just did that so that once i get older and i have a family of my own i can look back and said " i had a blast during my time" haha! but that doest mean im gonna let my kids to do those things. HELL NO! i will not forbid them totally to do so, but just on the right age. haha. how cool Dad i am ha! haha! *sigh* anyways i guess that all i want to say. oh by the way, i havent told to anyone when was my birthday, last week made me laugh so hard. my friends knew that my birthday is coming up but they didnt know exactly when, havent they remember last year?! the nerve that they didnt remember so what i did was i just simply didnt tell to them, the thing is that they keep greeting me for the whole week! haha. since they have no idea when is it, they just know that my birtday is right after valentines day but thats it they dont know when exactly. i even removed all the message greetings that my other friends wrote to me on my facebook account so that my LM peeps will have no idea. haha. fool yah! ill soon going to tell them maybe tomorrow when its no longer my birthday.(saka para iwas gatos na rin. nag pa inom nako nung friday dun sa BA barkada ko at dun grupo nila mark and next dun sa mga high school friends ko. pero sa mga LM peeps, hmm. siguro this week na sila. langya naman kasi eh, grabe na ang gastos ko!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

NO SMOKING! (city ordinance of Manila)

earlier this night i just got busted by a cop for violating the law for no smoking while in a public vehicle. i mean i have no problem with what so ever but the thing that pissed me the most is that, it is as if im the only whose doing that! the jeepney was stopped by this cop and force me to get out of the vehicle without me knowing what was i done wrong?! all of the passengers were all staring at me it is as if im wanted or something, after the cop asked me to get out of the vehicle, right away the jeepney passed away as if the driver is escaping and dont want to get involved with it. the cop immediately told me "bawal mag yosi city ordinace dito yan sa maynila, galit si lim dyan" i said "boss, di ko naman po alam eh" the cop told me that there is a fine for that worth Php600, if i dont have the money hes just going to list my name so that ill have a criminal record for commiting such said crime. i just told to the cop "boss, wala akong 600 na dala, pamasahe nalang ang natitira ko dito" he then said "eh pano yan? ililista ko nalang ang pnagalan mo eh wala ka naman pala pera" i begun to think "puta! ginogotongan nako ng pulis na to ah! at mas nag palakas pa ng loob ko na ginogotongan nya nga ako nung sabihin nya na "mag kano nalang lang ba pera mo dyan? pwede na yan lahit mag kano." then i gave my 100 peso bill para matapos na din yung kahihiyan na to. sobra talagang hiyang-hiya ako. all the people there were all staring at me as if im convicted of a heinous crime! first time ako kina usap ng pulis! and to think ive been doing the same habit for i dunno since i started to go to college at ngayon lang sakin nangyari yun! PUTANG INA TALAGA! i know its my fault in a way, pero what really pissed me off is that yung obvious na pangongotong sakin ng pulis. putcha!

Lovestruck (cheesy story but based on actual event)

Few days back i posted on my facebook account this lovely lady and i must say one the most beautiful girl ive seen in my entire life and i said to myself "may ganito ba talagang ganda babae that actually exist?!" after i posted it on my account, all of my guy friends who ive been tagged in on the picture wondering who the hell this girl was?! i just said to them "ive been asking myself the same question, who is she?!" looking at her picture it is as if im melting like a molten rock. then ealier this night little did i know all our question was finally answered!

place: Morayta st. (in front of BDO)

Time: around 10pm

after playing L4D for about an hour (as usual our every night routine after our class)my friend julius and i were heading back home back, when we were about to cross the street this jeepney stood right in front of us then i saw this girl gazing through the window and i looked at her (julius was busy on the phone arguing with her girlfriend at that moment) then this girl flipped her hair and then suddenly i saw her face. my eyes went bigger as the usual and kept staring at her, right away that girl on my facebook account popped into my mind she does really looked like the girl that i posted on my facebook (minus the long hair, her hair was kind of bit shorter) i even punch julie to looked on to whom am i looking at, but he was busy talking on the phone. you know in some chick flicks when a guy sees a beautiful girl his world just stopped and it is as if your in the meadow and all he can see is her and no one else, thats exactly what i felt like that very moment! my whole world literally just stopped and kept staring at her. at first she didnt notice i was looking at her then suddenly i caught her attention and started to looked at me back. we made an eye to eye contact for about while and turned her head away from me, i know that she knows that im still staring at her but i dont mind if she knew all i want is to look at her. i didnt know for how long i was staring at her i just woke up from reality when julius punched me on the face and said "ano ka na?!" then the jeep passed away. julius keep teasing me that i was lovestruck (love at first sight) ive never had this before, i can never look at a girl knowing shes also looking at me, i would die of shame if i do that. but not with this girl, i kept staring at her as long as i can no longer see her out of my sight. julius just said to me "grabe ang titig mo dun sa babae ah! naka tingin din sayo tas di ka parin tumitinag ng kaka tingin. in love ka no?!" i just didnt know what to say to julie, para tuloy gusto kung kumanta ng "the first time ever i saw your face..." (tang'na ang keso!) as on my home i keep on smiling and i couldnt stop it for some reason. who ever you are, i just do hope i can get chance to see you again... my own mystery girl.
