[January 15th 2009|8.04am] |
i wonder what it is about me that loves being the underdog?
is it the thrill and fun of the chase?
is it going all out, putting my heart on my sleeve and showing everything i got?
is it the rush and feeling that it gives me when i win, get what i want?
is it the thought of always being counted out and in the end coming out on top, triumphant?
is it the thought of surprising people and even myself?
i'm older, wiser and in a way more mature.
what if you're not having fun?
what if you go all out, put your heart on your sleeve and show everything you got and come out short?
what if i don't win, don't get what i want?
what if i don't come out on top?
what if i don't surprise people and just disappoint them and myself?
i still love those feelings but being the underdog is stupid.
being the underdog is stupid.
it's only fun when you win.
it's tiring.
especially when you're losing.
you can only do so much.
and you still have to catch up.
i'm tired. i'm losing. and the hole just keeps getting deeper.
i'll see what happens and what i can do.
i'm tired.

| The Bro Code |
[December 1st 2008|7.51am] |
The completed bro code guide and covers all skips in the article that were not covered in any episode of how i met your mother... Created by Barney Stinson and compiled and finished and partially written by joel johnson... special thanks to some fellow bros on face book and this one site about how men are suppose to behave... i would also like to thank my best bro's mike and brian for inspiration..remember bros before hoes
fPreamble to the Bro Code
Once the contract of becoming bros is made, verbal, written or otherwise, the bro code comes into effect.
Bros will not be assumed to be exclusive unless each has explicitly granted the other exclusive Bro rights. If a Bro is not exclusive then a Bro may have more than one Bro. However, upon becoming exclusive, said Bro must break any Bro ties with all other Bros.
Article 1:
Bros before hoes. Always remember, girlfriends come and go, but your boys are always there. Breaking this rule is to commit the cardinal sin against Team Testosterone.
Article 2:
Never drink the last beer, unless you've been granted specific permission that it's OK.
Article 3:
If a girl falls into the following criteria, she is off limits forever until the end of time:
A. Was an ex-girlfriend.
B. Your friend specifically told you he wanted her.
C. Is you're buddy's sister.
However, if it's your buddy's cousin, well she's up for grabs, and you're welcome to rub it in his face for years to come.
Article 4:
Never diss a guy if his team just lost a crushing game.
Article 5:
You must never own a cat.
New amendment to this rule: A Bro may never own more than 2 cats, but only if they adhere to the Bro Code
Article 6:
If you get 2 tickets to the big game, the priority list for granting the second ticket is as follows:
1. Your best friends (in order of how long you've known them).
2. Your acquaintances.
3. Your co-workers.
4. The mailman.
5. The UPS guy.
6. NASA.
7. John Kerry.
....1,485,726. Your girlfriend.
Article 7:
You are allowed to enjoy exactly one chick TV show, and one chick flick. You may have no more.
Article 8:
Birthday and Christmas presents for your guy friends are optional. Beer always makes a great gift.
Article 9:
If you go the bar with your buddies, you must buy a round of drinks at least once. The Bro with the better paying job is required to buy the first round. If the other Bro is temporarily out of money or left his wallet at home drinks can be lended yet in the long run these drinks must be repaid, later that night by wingman services or any other act of entertainment or at the next gathering.
Article 10:
There are no mercy rules when playing someone in Madden, hoops, street hockey, bare-fisted boxing, etc.
Article 11:
If you owe someone money, pay them back as soon as humanly possible—unless it's a gambling debt, which must be paid immediately.
Article 12:
Standard shotgun rules are as follows.
A. Shotgun may only be called within full sight of the car.
B. Shotgun must be called outside.
C. Shotgun calls last approximately ten minutes.
D. Shotgun never carries over to a second ride.
Article 13:
NO PDA (Public Displays of Affection).
Article 14:
It's alright to cheat at any game where money isn't involved. In certain circumstances, relationships may be classified as "games."
Article: 15:
Don't tell other guys elaborate stories about your weightlifting exercise routine. No one cares.
Article 16:
Never openly question another guy's sports wisdom, unless said information specifically pertains to your favorite team.
Article 17:
When out with the guys, never accept a call from your girlfriend—unless she's dying or trapped under a burning fuel truck, and if that's the case, make it quick.
Article 18:
Always allow a buffer zone at urinals and on couches.
Article 19:
Never share a bed with a guy, unless there's no way around it.
Article 20:
Bros Before Hoes. I know, I already used it. I can't stress it enough, though. It is absolutely infuriating how many of my guy friends have become insufferable ***** since they've gone out with someone.
Article 21:
In a 6 person hot tub, there should be a maximum of 3 guys.
Article 22:
A Bro should not sing and dance at the same time

A Bro must never hesitate before communicating the possibility of fisticuffs between two humans of the female variety [[HENCEFORTH "GIRL FIGHT"]], in an effort to make possible and probable that another Bro or Bros can partake in observation. A timely manner is open to interpretation based on the initial Bro's viewing and processing of the potential feminine conflagration. Said Bro must use any and all methods of media distribution at his disposal, including but not limited to: telecommunications, elbow nudging, fiber optics, the Broney express, and postcards. If an informed Bro is unable to witness the girl fight firsthand, the spotter Bro is responsible for documenting and relating details of the girl fight via pictures, video*, or barring any other reasonable method, interpretive dance and/or pantomime. Tabling Bro obligations to witness a XX chromosomal scuffle is not only condoned, but encouraged, and in some cases, required.

Article 51:
A Bro should not wear flip flops with a suit.
Article 52:
No Bro should wear a speedo to the beach
Article 53:
A Bro will, whenever possible, provide his Bro with protection. In the event that one Bro finds himself lacking the necessary prophylactic accoutrements needed to complete the act of coitus in a safe and effective manner, he is in the right to expect his Bro will use all measures within or without his means to provide the aforementioned prophylactic in a timely yet discreet fashion. When a Bro signals his need using previously agreed upon code words and/or body signage, it is understood that his Bro will discontinue all present activity [excepting the act of coitus itself [whereby which Bro vows to finish as quickly as possible]], in order to respond with a panoply of options at Bro-in-need's location. A Bro must patronize the most rapid method of transportation available while endeavoring to assist his Bro. In no instance may a two-wheeled bicycle be used* as this is not only humiliating, but also potentially harmful to the perineum - a zone of tissue perilously adjacent to noted sexual organs. In the event that a state, federal, international, or galactic law is breached due to recklessness, unacceptable levels of speed, and/or the hijacking of an airborne vehicle(s), it is understood that the primary Bro will shoulder any associated legal fees or fines. However, any costs or damages incurred from the use of public transportation are the responsibility of the secondary Bro alone as this is an instance of Quid Pro Bro. Upon arrival at the primary Bro's location, the secondary Bro must exercise complete discretion so as not to disrupt the primary Bro's "flow." It is understood that a Bro will engage in all training necessary to achieve this objective, including, at minimum, a five month Ninjitsu curriculum mastering the twin arts of stealth and secrecy.** Once the primary Bro has been supplied with the necessary prophylactic(s), the Brocedure is deemed complete upon exchange of the traditional, though in this case silent, "high five." Tacit in this unspoken ritual is the understanding that said episode will never be spoken of again, unless it's part of an awesome story. * Unless a bicycle is the ONLY form of transportation, as in some Cambodian villages **
Article 54:
No Bro should make a kissing face in a photo.
Article 55:
No Bro should wear girl jeans
Article 56:
A Bro shall never reveal the score of a sporting event to another Bro until that Bro has thrice confirmed it's cool.
Article 57:
A Bro may not speculate on the expected Bro/chick ratio of a party or venue without first disclosing the present-time observed ratio.
Article 58:
If a Bro, for whatever reason, becomes aware of another Bro's girlfriend's birthday and/or anniversary date, he shall endeavor to make that information available to his Bro, regardless of whether he thinks his Bro already knows.
Article 59:
One Bro makes a solo attack.
A Second Bro provides a crutch,
A third Bro rounds out the pack,
But a fourth Bro is one too much
Article 60:
Should a Bro be near to closing with a girl, his Bro shall do anything within his means to ensure the desired outcome, up to and including the seduction of said girls wildly unattractive friend/cousin/sister.
Article 61:
A Bro shall honor thy father and mother
Article 62:
In the event that two Bros acquire the same target, the Bro with the longer dry spell has dibs. Should the dry spells be of equal length, a game of discreet roshambo(rock paper scissors) shall determine the outcome
Article 63:
In a scenario in which two or more Bros are engaged in entertainment of the adult variety, one Bro is forbidden from intentionally or unintentionally touching another Bro in any capacity, including but not limited to; the high-five, the fist bump, or the congratulatory gluteus pat. Winking is also a no no.
Article 64:
A Bro must provide his Bro to a ticket to an event if said event involves the second Bro's favorite sports team in a playoff scenario
Article 65:
A Bro must always reciprocate a round of drinks among Bros with the proviso that no existing wager supercedes this purchase and exchange of spirits.
Article 66:
If a Bro suffers pain due to the permanent dissolution of a relationship with a lady friend, a Bro shall offer nothing more than "that sucks, Bro" and copious quantities of beer. A Bro will also refrain from pejorative commentary - deserved or not - regarding said lady friend for a period of three months, when the requisite BACKSLIDE WINDOW has closed.
Article 67:
Should a Bro pick up a guitar at a party and commence playing , another Bro shall point out that he is a tool
Article 68:

Article 89:
"A Bro may never pursue the mom of another Bro." Be it here resolved that at no point is it permissible for one Bro to engage in carnal delicacies with another Bro's mother. It is, however, allowed and encouraged for one Bro to graphically suggest to a Bro the athletic feats, animalia, and/or machinery utilized during a fictional encounter with his mom. [[NOTA BENE: It is customary for a Bro to avoid such Brocularity if his Bro's mom is a 9 or better, for fear of Oedipal inducement.]] Should a Bro discover his Bro is in fact adopted, he is free to pursue his Bro's adoptive mother, but only after first corroborating non-biological parentage through notarized birth certificates, hospital records, or comparative dioxyribonucleic acid gel electrophoresis, whichever is easiest. Since the adopted Bro cannot legitimately claim to have shared a canal with his Bro, ARTICLE 89 expressly prohibits the adopted Bro from invoking the Sloppy Second clause in any related filings with the International Court of Bros. Though the mom of a Bro is always off limits, the step-mom of a Bro is allowed if she initiates it and/or is wearing at least one article of leopard print clothing. If she looks good in it.

Article 91:
When bros are up for the same promotion/job position and are subjected to interviews, bros in a prior interview must alert bros of any and all trick questions they can remember. This ensures all bros get an equal chance at the position/title because it is well known fact that the bros performing the interview wants to get the process over as quick as possible and the only way for a fair chance is to make all subsequent bros seem better.
Article 92:
When a bros introduces a fellow bros to their hot female friend, the introducer has the rights to the girl. The introduced bros can only attempt to get the girl if the introducer bros gives his consent.
Article 93:

Article 94:
Should a Bro (1st, 2nd or 3rd) be hooking up with an unattractive woman, the Bro that notices this must do all in their power to stop said Bro from closing the deal, unless they are helping another Bro with Article 60.

Any girl passing out in a non-bedroom designated area of a dwelling occupied by more than one bros is not up for grabs under any circumstances. Additionally, said girl can be subjected to humiliating photos as long as other bros are alerted to its undertaking.

David Archuleta - Crush
Lyrics:
I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside..
It was a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility that you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know..
Do you ever think when your all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cuz I try and try to walk away,
But I know this crush ain't goin away, goin away
Has it ever cross your mind
When we're hangin spending time girl
Are we just friends
Is there more, is there more
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last,
Last forever, forever
Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know..
Do you ever think when your all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cuz I try and try to walk away,
But I know this crush ain't goin away x5

guess who's back?
i got a sudden surge in me to be able to blog. the ability to finally remember how to put my feelings and thoughts into words. i think? we'll see.
i don't know why, but i felt a bond when i watched, saw pictures, saw columns and such talk about the Senior Men's USA Basketball Team. yes, another basketball blog. but i'm not gonna take too much of your time. just read?
seeing them play their best, giving their all. seeing all their struggles throughout the game and all the highs of the game too. they played with all their emotions showing, wearing their heart on their sleeves. i bet the feeling they feel is amazing. even i felt it. how you ask? maybe i'm american or... you just have to look at it another angle or in their eyes. what would you feel when you get something you really wanted? something that has been in your sights for 4 years. something that you worked so hard for. something that took most of your time. and you know, while going through the whole process of trying to get that special and ellusive thing in your sights that all the wait, all the hardwork and all the sacrifices you make is worth it. and in just in a span of 2 weeks, you finally get it, you finally get what you always wanted. your emotions are on a high right now. you are overwhelmed with what you feel.
it's crazy, how can you not relate and feel?
congratulations to the Senior Men's USA Basketball Team.

August 8, 2008, 12:00 midnight
THERE IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO FOR TARA SANTELICES. PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.
Word spreads around fast and almost everyone has already heard about what happened to our dear friend, Tara Santelices (Assumption Antipolo's Batch 2003 and Ateneo de Manila University's Class of 2007, AB Political Science).
On the eve of her 23rd birthday, Tara was shot in the head during a hold-up while riding a jeepney along Imelda Avenue, Cainta, Rizal. Joee Mejias, who was with her at that time, rushed her to Amang Rodriguez Memorial Hospital in Marikina City. The parents of Tara and Joee arrived at the hospital shortly thereafter. When morning came, Tara's parents finally decided to transfer her to the Medical City, Ortigas Avenue, Pasig City. Since 8:00am of August 6, Tara has been in the ICU fighting for her dear life. Her parents have decided not to push through with the operation.
Although it might seem that there is nothing else that we can do but wait for Tara to wake up from this horrific nightmare, we, the friends of Tara, have decided to raise funds for Tara's hospital bills. This is the least we can do to ease the unbearable pain her family is going through. We have been given the go-signal from Tara's dad, Tito Larry, and here are the details:
The temporary bank account is under Anne Marie F. Santelices, Banco de Oro, SA 2140-062201. For direct cash donations, please proceed to the ICU Waiting Room of the Medical City (Ortigas Avenue, Pasig City). Please look for Joee Mejias or Lila Santelices.
Any amount will be gratefully accepted. Anonymous donations are also welcome. Please spread the word. Forward this to your family, friends and even to everyone else you know. Please post this on Friendster, Multiply, Facebook and wherever else you can think of. Please send group messages on Yahoo Messenger. This will mean so much to us, her friends.
Please continue praying for Tara, for Joee and for both of their families. If you want to come see Tara, visiting hours at the ICU are at 9:00 am to 11:00 am and 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Thank you so much for your time and kind consideration.
For inquiries, please contact Joee Mejias (09228154987) for calls and Jac Ledonio (09167243071) or Myka Francisco (09163695148) for text messages.
*Tara has been my classmate all throughout grade school and high school in Assumption Antipolo. She was my seatmate back in 3rd year high school and ever since then, she has become one of my closest friends. When we both went to college in Ateneo, we spent most of our breaks together. She'd even wait for me until my last class has ended even if she was already free to go home hours before.
She is one of my closest friends. I can't stand the thought of losing her. This is too painful for me but I still cannot imagine how much more painful it is for her family.
Despite what has happened, I still believe in the goodness of humanity. Let's support Tara and her family. --Jac Ledonio

Angulo - The Best Mistake |
] |
guess who's back?
i haven't blogged in a month. i haven't written anything worthwhile either. it's crazy, i got writers block or something. it's like i'll write a few lines and then i would leave it be. i have a theory, it's either i'm uninspired, apathetic and carless, cold or just plain lazy. maybe a mix of all?
anyways... life in general has been cool. it's been good. you know, when you just get that feeling of peace? like you're in your own sanctuary, moving at your own pace, watching the world pass by. get what i mean? it's like, everything good that doesn't need effort, that i need is falling right into place. like my friends, you can never go wrong with these guys. it's all fun and jokes. like my family, it's peaceful. maybe because of the way my attitude is and how i conduct myself?
there's a difference between things that i need are falling right into place. but things that i want is not quite just there yet. like my grades, it isn't as high as i wanted it to be, it's low. it's my last year, my senior year and i just want to go out with a bang. i watched Evan Almighty the other week and there was this really cool message there. it goes something like, if you pray and ask God for something, no matter how big or small, do you think he would give it to you in a snap? or wouldn't he want you to get opportunities to get what you want and work hard for it? it was something like that. it's really cool and it made me think. i don't want to sound too religious but i feel that it is like, little by little God is showing his plan for me. i dunno, but that's how i feel.
i failed math in the mid-term mark again, as usual. i got a D. it's not so bad, it could be worse. but maybe that's what he's telling me, it could be worse and i could be in deep with my parents, grounded and other possible parent punishment you could think off. maybe he's just telling me to do better and work harder. he doesn't want me to rely on stock knowledge and what i do in class and homework but he wants me to do more. even more so now, with College Entrace Exams coming up from left to right, he wants me to work hard, study, review, do exercises. i want to get into a good college? i pray for that every night. will he just give it to me? or give me opportunities to accomplish my goal? since i watched Evan Almighty, every situation i'm in, i think hard. i think off the opportunities God is giving me at a specific time. and i had a whole lot of opportunities to study, review, do more exercises. not everything can fall into place, sometimes you got to make it happen and do what you got to do.
how about drama? drama is defined as any situation or series of events having vivid, emotional, conflicting, or striking interest or results by http://www.dictionary.com. as of now, i'm glad to say, i am drama free. i say, life is simple and there is no need to complicate it, especially with drama. i say it's cool to listen to other peoples drama, problems, feelings and emotions because it's always nice to help others and be a good and true friend. but if you're just listening, seeing, feeling things that affect or affects you in a way, small or big, you can always avoid the drama. you always have an opportunity to say yes or no. people can't get mad at you if you want to stay away from drama that affects you. you're just gonna feel down when you let the drama get to you. avoid it when you can, if you can. there's a difference between being a nice guy, who's always there but knows his limits and a too nice of a guy, who does whatever is asked of him, keeps whatever he's feeling only inside, slowly killing himself. life is simple, why complicate it? drama sucks. =)
so there... that's me keeping you updated.

"The Invisible"
Category: Movies
Genre: Other
so far the best movie i enjoyed ever since the explosion of so called "Blockbusters" like Pirates of the Carribean and Oceans 13. it's much better actually. those movies are too hyped. i liked this movie a lot. it's cool and touching. it's also real because you can see how messed up the world is. you'll like it cause of the twists the movie gives you and the storyline and the characters too.
this movie got action and suspense. some sort of love and lessons to learn. i give it a 4.5 out of 5.
it's cool, it's cool.
"Disturbia"
Category: Movies
Genre: Horror
Distubia is cool. it's a freaky movie with some comedic scenes to ease the tension. i think it's a must watch. the guy is the guy from Even Stevens, i don't know how to spell his name cause it's malabo. haha. but he's cool. he's also in Transformers so he's even more cooler, he's also in Surf's Up. that makes him awesome. haha. i'm at lost for words. haha. i give it a 4.5 out of 5 also. the movie is cool. everything i anticipated.

P.S. i didn't write this. a nice guy wrote this.
P.P.S. this IS NOT ABOUT ANYTHING. i'm not complaining about anything. i like being a nice guy and i wouldn't want to change that. it's nothing more than the fact i like how it's written and how i can relate, nothing less either. i just like whatever the writer wrote. it's amazing. it's exact. and i can relate.
P.P.P.S. oh how i wish i wrote this.
This is a tribute to nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl’s every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style.
This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they’re at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don’t end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you.
This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner. And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldn’t worry about it. This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree you’d ever orchestrated in GTA3 to rant about a rumor that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the most repulsive person in the world. And even though you thought it was immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumor to spread around the floor. This is also for that time she didn’t have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing “serious” between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: “oh, but we’re just friends!” And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways. Because you’re nice like that.
The nice guys don’t often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice guys don’t seem to get laid as often as they should. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can’t. From what I have observed on my old campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools, the only conclusion I can form is that some girls are just illogical, manipulative bitches. Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as “oh, he’s too nice to date” or “he would be a good boyfriend but he’s not for me” or “he already puts up with so much from me, I couldn’t possibly ask him out!” or the most frustrating of all: “no, it would ruin our friendship.” Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can’t figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do (I’m going to sleep with this complete ass now!). But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn’t last forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single.
So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys. You know who you are, and I know you’re sick of hearing yourself described as ubiquitously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile. For all the crazy, inane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you. You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved vindication is coming.

Incubus - Nice to Know You |
] |
this is david de padua's palanca to me. it was edited and all so that it can be shown to the general public viewers eyes.
so read em' and weep.
January 25, 2007
Hi Jim,
I don’t know much about what’s been going on with you now except that you like(LIKED) a girl and that you baked a cake with someone, and that you have a chance to go prom with the super hot someone. Haha. That much I know, but I don’t know much beyond that so I’ll just make references to days we’re both familiar with. The Golden Year, The Year of the King, Hyperbirds, First Year! Haha
You were always a remarkable character Jim, and I always enjoy seeing you. It’s fun to hang out with you, weirdo ka eh! Haha But more than that, I’m very comfortable around you and I don’t have to put up any walls when I speak to you and that’s a quality that is very rare. Like for instance, when I talk to some people, I have to avoid the topic of girls because it makes them uncomfortable, stuff like that, with you there’s no such thing. That’s why you’re cool!
We know that was 1st year was a very eventful year. We were so carefree and all we could care about was the next kagaguhan. I don’t even remember ever having a hard time academically. I know that has changed, third year is a bitch. If you compare what we were like back then to who we are now, you will definitely find that you’ve come a long way, you’ve matured in many ways I’m sure and you might even look back and see yourself as totoy. Haha, ok lang yan, we all were. But the reason why I bring it up is because it will help you realize how much we aren’t all that we think we are. When we were in first year I thought I couldn’t mature much more, that I came to a point in maturity wherein I couldn’t progress much more and clearly I was wrong. There was still so much more to be learned, so much more to be experienced. But by looking back, and seeing how my attitude towards life and my way of thinking has developed and changed so greatly, I can definitely say I wasn’t mature enough. Lesson here Jim is that we’re never ever as bulletproof as we think we are. That we’re vulnerable like anybody else. There’s so much more to be learned and experienced and there’s no reason why we should rush into things we will encounter later on in our lives anyway. We’re still growing boys let’s live life that way. =)
that is why i love david de padua. this palanca gives me strength for some reason. the last part touched me, i can't explain it. it's just i can relate to what he said. and it seems to make things better somehow. maybe i would have cried to this palanca if i didn't read it before the retreat. =| i shouldn't have read it before the retreat.
i was chatting with mapa the other day. he and i were sharing kwento. having an asma moment. then i mentioned, i need to find the other half of my heart and that my heart hurts. then we had a debate.
p.s. edited version.
he said, "don't waste your time on one girl, unless she's really the one!"
(ummm... mapa doesn't mean to sound like a bad person. i know he meant if you don't feel it, if you can't feel anything; why get stuck on one girl if nothing is happening? just move on and find the right one.)
jm said, "tangina mo."
jm said, "haha."
jm said, "you'll never know naman if she's really the one until you try dude."
he said, "hahaha. i meant..."
jm said, "haha. yeah, i got what you meant."
jm said, "what if it was, and i didn't do anything?"
jm said, "so i did stuff."
jm said, "to find out whether it is or it isn't."
now i know better. i guess i fall to fast, i fall too hard.
but now, i quote from the Foo Fighters, "I'm the generator. Firing whenever you quit. Yeah, whatever it is. You go out and it's on. Yeah, can't you hear my motored heart? You're the one that started it."
i don't get Incubus' song, "Wish You Here Here".
He's happy that whoever he wants is not there but he wants her there? Eeeee.

Finch - What it is to Burn |
] |
today, today, today. it was a roller coaster, it had its ups and downs.
here's a list.
first period of the day; Filipino. i thought it would be the normal Filipino class, everyone making noise causing little discussion but i found today's period productive. and slowly but surely Mr. Paz is winning me over. he's showing me why he's a teacher. we had a discussion about poems. he said you don't always need to write about something deep, he said let it flow, write about anything. he also emphasized making the reader see whatever you are picturing. if you wanna write about something being sticky, you can write as: itsverysticky. you can write it this way because it shows words "stuck" together. so i was impressed. then he decided to let us write a poem. i wasn't in the mood so i used my smarts and twisted and i wrote a short poem.
it went like this:
"Malapit"
Malapit na... Summer.
i thought he would accept it from what we inferred through Mr.Paz the whole school year but no, he didn't. he told me to change it and felt i was lazy. he told me to add stuff, he said it to the whole class. it was deep. so i made a revision.
the poem went like this:
"Palayo"
Malapit na. Marso.
Malapit na.. Eksaminasyon.
Malapit na... Bakasyon.
Malapit na.... Bagong Skwelang Taon.
Malapit na..... Mga Pang Kolehiyong Eksaminasyon.
Malapit na...... Gradyuwasyon.
Malapit na....... Ikaw at Ako?
yeah... sir told me to put the last part. i just rephrased it. he said a whole list of "malapit na" then in the end he said "pero malayo ka pa rin". and the whole class was like "Woah!", deep shit.
Math was the second period, i think; i hope i did okay in the quiz. i need it.
Then Recess came after Math.
Then Science. it was okay for awhile until i slept. =|
Then Computer. Computer =|. i'm currently failing the 3rd term but i'm gonna pass the year because i got high marks during the first two terms. the problem is, i don't want to just pass. i want to get high, it's all up to the exam project. eeerrr, i dunno if i'm gonna get it. i know that i don't get it, i know, i admit it. but my partner says he can do it but eeerrr. let's see. give him the benefit of the doubt. cause he should of just stuck to the plan.
Then Homeroom, all reminders about having 2 weeks left. i felt emo then. it was because of the Computer class thing, my partner and grades and all. plus knowing what my math grades are. =|
Then Lunch. i had fun, stu and miko cheered me up. i told them no emo cause it's just gonna get me down, so we sang RnB songs while doing our English Compositions. it was fun and funny. we sang old school songs. i sang "i wanna know" by joe. then stu sang "angel of mine" by monica. then miko sand "you got it bad" by usher. then we sang "what if" by baby face, we also sang "brown eyes" by destiny's child. i know we sang more but i can't remember right now. so yeah, i had fun.
Then English. i slept through the discussion. then woke up for the test. got a perfect 10 for the quiz which was on the discussion then got with miko, sean and stu for our project.
Dismissal. We went home.
Then i went jogging! oh yes. =)
then studied for awhile.
then here?
yeah. the end.

Staind - It's been awhile |
] |
picture playing in a championship basketball game where it seems everything is not going your way. from being the underdogs, to not having home-court advantage. from your team being incomplete to start the game making your starting 5 in the last seconds. even the referees are playing against you. in your mind, you know, this game feels weird.
then the game commences. all these circumstances pile up on you and your team. suddenly you find yourself in a hole, you're down by a big margin. the other team is up 20 to 30 points by the end of the first half. during halftime, you know it's make or break, it's a do or die thing. in you, you know that whatever limit your mind sets; if it says no, you know your heart has no boundaries. so you decide to give everything after the halftime break. your goal is to try to trim down the lead in order to get a close score making winning possible.
during that 3rd quarter of play, you show what you got. what kind of person you are. you keep scoring and continue playing good defense. but the problem is, everything is not going your way. from the calls of referees, to the miss shots your teammates took after you gave them a nice pass. from unforced turnovers to making a simple layup. what do you feel? don't you feel exhausted? you give your all and still you see and feel that every little thing is not going your way and in your mind you know it's not going to, it's never going to. and in that moment you have a choice. a choice of continuing giving your all, knowing what the outcome will be, which is a loss and wasted effort and energy. or just play it out, wait for that buzzer to end knowing that you would and could not have done anything to change the outcome.
don't get me wrong. don't question me about my heart, especially in basketball. when i play basketball, i give my all, 100% and more because i know where i came from. i know that i came from the end of that bench, knowing that i would not have played a lot of my games if i did not step up, use my heart. i started playing with heart, knowing that no one can stop me, no one can beat me and my team. having heart made me a winner in basketball. so don't question my heart.
knowing what i can do with my love and heart for basketball, i would still simply quit, play like it's not a real game. play like it's just some pick-up game. waste time, wait for that buzzer knowing you were saved by the bell. the fact that nothing is going your way is already a factor to be seriously considered. i mean if it isn't there then it isn't. you can't change the outcome. maybe, playing hard will change peoples minds about you but will it change their minds about who won the game. will playing hard and losing make you a winner. the fact that FATE and EVERYTHING else including the other team is against and doesn't like you makes a good point of just simply quitting. quit on the game you love, quit on the game of love. just play out the game, knowing there will be better. hoping there will be better.
the sad thing is, i'm losing to someone younger than me.
so here i am saying... i quit. i'm gonna play this one out until it's over. i feel everything is against me, including the trophy and championship. the trophy is even showing me that she doesn't want me and it's just teasing me, telling me to do my best, knowing exactly i want it. and i, a fool for its aura, knowing exactly it wants some other team to win it.
edit.
i'm not stupid.

Saosin - Seven Years |

haven't blogged in a looooooooong time.
i've just been writing and doodling a lot with my notebook, writing whatever i want freely.
i just wanna say, i don't know.
i've been trying, doing all i can.
trying my best to do whatever to get closer.
maybe... it isn't enough?
maybe there's too much going on in our lives.
maybe it's too complicated.
there are so many obstacles.
it's too far.
is it?
it's just a number.
is it too big a number?
the others are too many.
is it all the same?
the question is... is what i feel strong enough to overcome these obstacles?
i think so...
but i'm not sure if i can keep fighting these obstacles
again and again, over and over.
maybe i can... i don't know.
how'd it end up like this?
i dunno. i dunno.
