Wave of Mutilation Hits the Philippines!

Very sad and disappointed here about what happened to my home...
On September 26,2009 a Brutal Storm hit the Philippines. In one day a months rain has poured down from the heavens and unleashed its fury on my old home. I am thankful that most of my friends and relatives are not harmed during the storm although some of them were affected by the storm greatly. Everyone of them are okay now, but most of them lost a lot of precious belongings which they couldn't save due to the flooding. Still just being alive, is the best thing that you can be thankful for.

The storm wasn't so pleasant to everyone though. A lot of people lost their houses, have no food to eat, and worst of all lost their lives because of this unprecedented natural disaster.

Who to blame?
in every situation it is only natural to point fingers, i don't want to get to political but the Philippine government could have done a better job of at least averting the damage. I know its a natural disaster, but still prevention was lacking when in fact it could be present in the unfortunate situation. The corrupt officials who have been stealing money from the Filipino people in order to benefit their lives, cars, women gambling and the lavish lifestyle that you fuckers live, while your fellow country men suffer in poverty. I hope every last one of those corrupt bastards burn in hell. There is an upcoming election, voters choose wisely, don't let showbiz dictate the hype on who you should vote for, don't base it on fame or money, base it on someone who has compassion towards one common interest, making the country better and safer. I apologize for the nasty language but it is necessary.

Also when you point the finger to someone or anything, realize that your 3 other fingers are pointing at you. We are also to blame for the calamity that happened. No offense to anyone, but a lot of people in our country are very undisciplined. Smoke belching, illegal loggers, polluters and littering are the major cause of the flooding. I hate it when i see people littering, after eating, smoking or drinking what not they just throw their garbage in the streets and sewers, common people this is our home, do you put garbage inside your own house? i don't think so! These are the causes of the flooding, blocked drainage and sewer systems because of the garbage that undisciplined people throw wherever. Now look what it caused us: Death.

This is a wake up call to all of you Filipino's, heck even none Filipino's know this, if you don't get the concept your a fucking moron. The disasters happening around the past years and recently now have been unprecedented. Global Warming? definitely, is mother nature pissed at us? Check! Change your ways people, Planet Earth is our home, and trust me, nobody ever wants to get kicked out of their home, so be disciplined and do whats right not only for you but for everyone as a whole.

My thoughts and prayers to everyone back home...

From Perfect to Dead Awful

Have you ever had on of those days?
1. Where everything goes great... you had a good nights sleep. You wake up and eat your favorite strawberry cereals. You take a shower and the soap and shampoo somehow smells extra nice. You head to school and the weather is perfect not too hot not too cold no need to turn the AC on. While driving all the lights are green, you switch on the radio and all the good songs are played. you go to class and your professor looks extra cute and you can understand and pay attention to the lecture well. you head home and a nice warm lunch is waiting for you. you run and workout in the afternoon, put your ipod into shuffle mode and still all the great songs are playing.you read a few chapters of your favorite book, catch up with an old friend on facebook then head for a good night's sleep.

Perfect....

Then Comes the Dreadful Part...

2. You wake up with a headache and it's to early and you cant go back to sleep with because of the horrid heat. You ran out of milk for your strawberry cereal breakfast. you take a shower and the conditioner is all out. You leave for school and you keep stopping at a red light. You have to turn on the AC because of the stupid horrible heat and when you flip on the radio all you hear are pop and emo songs. you get your micro biology lab and you get 3 wrong activities in a row. your lab buddy accidentally spilled a stain solution that doesn't come off easily in your arm and you had to stay the 3 full hours in lab. your leaving the college parking lot, while some asshole jerk face cuts you off and you almost got into a pretty close accident. you get home and you don't like the food, you want to work out but your feet is too sore from running for the past 3 days, then you find out that your in big trouble because your overseas calls got way overboard and i mean way way overboard. you cant concentrate and can't sleep then comes your bff insomnia calling, and your whole day is screwed.

Awful and Ugly.....

guess that's just the transition of life, or it's like one of those lines "which news do you want to hear first? the good news or the bad news" or maybe its just bad decisions on my part, oh well got to live with it. Things will eventually get better right?

Silent Sundays and Park Person

I love Sunday's. I think it's the best day of the week, because you have to do everything you enjoy before Monday hits and you come back again to the reality of school and work. Sunday's i always feel so restful and somehow at peace with everything, it's basically the day were everything slows down for me, (as if my days could be more slow lol).

Were do I spend my Sundays? in order the cancel out the isolation of house noise, tv noise, video game noise or whatever noise there is, I spend my Sunday's on parks. For most American's, they probably just take the parks here for granted. I am not saying this in a bad way but the community here and the Philippines were I grew up are very different. Here parks are every where, around the schools and the neighborhoods. While in the Philippines there are rarely parks or in some cases no parks at all. People just keep building and building malls and malls everywhere. Every year there seems to be a new mall popping out of every city and it seriously annoys me. Maybe it's just me but i love peace and quiet, and any day at the mall with shoppers and annoying crowds, i would trade it to just spend a nice walk on a park. Feeling the light warmth of the sun, the cool breeze on my face,the swaying of the trees. The park's peaceful environment is a sanctuary for me. I usually just sit there on a bench or under a tree and drink boba, now that's what you call a perfect Sunday.

Across the Universe! =)

Insomnia sure do have its benefits.
So i have been playing The Beatles Rock band all day, and yep i love the Beatles. Tonight insomnia won again, im stuck here with nothing to do so i decided to watch a movie, which is, you guessed it "Across The Universe". The film came out October 2007, it is a musical and yep musicals are a no no for me, but i can't believed that i missed this film. Yes, i am declaring it, this is for me the number one film of all time, and jesus its a musical for god sakes. i think i didn't even blink when i watched this film. Now being an avid Beatles fan, the film couldn't have done a more perfectly transition of the sequence of their song and the scenes in the film. I was in love with this film from the beginning till the end and i could watch this over and over again. The sequences of the scenes in the film just transcends and brings out the beauty of the Beatles songs that were covered and every moment was trippy in a good way. I bet you that if George and John Lennon were alive today, they would be very proud of this movie. they ensemble was also excellent in this film and they couldn't have assembled a better cast. From the protagonist Jude (Hey Jude) who reminded me of the Gallagher brothers because of his look and accent from one of my favorite bands ever Oasis, to the smoking hot leading lady of the film Rachel Evan Wood aka Lucy (Lucy in the sky with diamonds) who i am a big fan of because she is the vampire queen of Louisiana in True Blood, hotness at its best. The other cast members were awesome too, to the depressed little asian girl named Prudence(Dear Prudence) i was having a discussion earlier with my brother to name his child Prudence, lol i think i might steal the name. The only draw back of this film for me was that it had some freaky parts, which i got to admit got me good, you'll find out what im talking about when you see the film for yourself, or maybe its just me but i have a phobia about asian undead women because of the asian horror films. The film is also long, but hey if they put everyone of the Beatles song in there, i don't care how long it is, i will finish it till the end that's how i love this film. 10/10, perfect rating. Beatles Rock Band all day tomorrow. =)

Home Sick!

Indeed I am.
Maybe that's the source of stress that's resulting to major insomnia. That im thinking about home too much.

I miss my old house. Its not that big but its cozy and i wouldn't have it any other way. I miss my room and my sega dream cast, and all the stacks of toys and games that me and my brothers use to play with. Legos and action figures the works.

I miss guss, my wonderful dog and my favorite playmate. I remember the times when i use guss to fend of my kid enemies, those were indeed great memories.

I miss my friends. you see i have two set of friends, the one who i grew up with "the palku's" as they label us and my school friends mainly from Guadalupe Catholic School. From all the craziness of "Tambay" which means hanging out with your buddies, usually filled with stories food and drinking, and in which "tambay" can happen at anytime of the day and the craziness of high school, the pranks, the chicks and all thats in between, the memories are still fresh in my head like it just happened yesterday.

I miss the food. My Nanay Emma makes the best Menudo, Tocino, you name it all the Filipino dishes she can cook it at 100%

I miss taking showers in the rain or when there is a storm out with my friends and just playing outside the rain, it feels so great.

Would love to be a kid again, but hey hopefully soon i'm going home and i would get to do all these things again...

Camping should Rock!

Yes Sir, I am a noob at camping. Why? because this is the first time ever that i am going to sleep in the wilderness for 2 nights and 3 days and good god i am excited as hell. My camping trip will be on 2nd of October to the 4th. It's actually a Geography Class Camping, so im going to be with a bunch of people. Im sharing a tent with a friend of mine, and im already planning my ration and supplies for the trip. Hopefully i can survive with Chex Mix, Granola bars and string cheese alone. Noob VS. Wild. Can't Wait!

Guilty Anime Pleasure!

Yep, im that big of a nerd. As a child i was born on Anime. Voltes 5 was my first anime, and yuyu hakusho was the one that got me hooked in watching a whole series of it. Now that The Office and True Blood is off the cube for a while, i have nothing to watch so im quite bored. Well off to my guilty pleasure: I stopped watching anime for a while since im having too much fun this summer, i only anticipate reading the Naruto Manga every week and besides the anime they show is lagging really bad behind the Manga. Boredom kills so i guess i need to catch up on bleach, at least insomnia has its use.
