Have you heard about the Animal Rights people making some noise because some president killed a fly? Oh, that's just so stupid, man. I don't know what's next.

Katipunan Traffic and Princess Peach

(wow, back to blogging huh?)

I went with Dad to fetch Matt from school today. Guess what, the entire trip took us three hours. An hour to get to Ateneo, and two hours to get home. I don't know if it's the rain or if that's normal (haha, I don't leave Ateneo at 3:30PM, Umuuwi ako dati mga after 6 pa). And that's just AGS ha, AHS's classes are still suspended and will resume on the 22nd pa.

Hmm. I really fall asleep when I'm seated at the front seat of the car. Haha. On the way home, I fell asleep even before we reached EDSA! When I woke up, we were already in front of Cafe Ysabel.

Oh, I'm currently playing Super Princess Peach on my Nintendo DS (yup, I have a NDS. I bought it with my hard-earned salary haha). I like that game. Haha, "Women Empowerment"! The titles in the Super Mario Bros. series before all had the same theme of "saving the princess"--Princess Peach gets abducted by Bowser (Koopa), and Mario / Luigi saves her. It's always the female character getting in trouble, and always the male becoming the hero. But in this title, they swap roles. Mario gets abducted by Bowser, and it's up to the Princess to save him. Yey!

Ok, enough for now. :)

Out of Routine

I was supposed to take a diagnostic exam today, but the office staff was out of town, and would resume operations by Monday. Wet by the rain, I just figured I'll go back home. When I got in the middle of the overpass, I stopped to think if I'll just go to Makati to hang out since I wasn't going to do anything for the day. But nah, maybe I should go home and do some pending tasks I had for our book and for the choir.

I boarded the jeep and headed home. On the way I was debating with myself--should I go to an arcade to sing videoke? Maybe to the art galleries at Megamall. Or just hang out at Shang food court to write in my journal. Hmm. I'll decide when I get off the jeep at Shaw Boulevard. By the time the jeep reached Crossing I was the only one left. I didn't want to go down yet as I knew the driver was going to the terminal. He made a u-turn and to my surprise he didn't make a turn to go to the terminal. Ah, maybe he'll pass thru a different route. I sort of panicked when we were about to reach Guadalupe again. Haha, I was back where I started. I alighted the jeep and then decided that maybe I had to go to Ayala Museum. Why else would I be back there? So I boarded a bus.

I got off at Ayala and walked towards the Museum. Of course, I always go the longer way. On my way there a former student saw me and even took the trouble of getting out of McDo just to catch up with me. He told me that he just came from a job interview. Good for him. After the quick chat, I continued walking to the museum. When I reached the receptionist, she asked "Are you a student?" I then laughed and just answered, "No, but I am a member." With that, I think she panicked and prepared my ticket and brochures quickly. It was really funny, I guess not a lot of members visit everyday.

I think I spent about two hours in the museum. I just went around. I've been there before, but I still went around again. I liked the new exhibits of Carlos and Tabuena. Carlos' use of the color purple and red and the leaves made an impression on me. Tabuena's colors made me smile.

I left the museum but saw PowerBooks and so decided to look around. There were a lot of people inside reading. That's cool. Maybe if we had a nice public library a lot would hang out, too. Sigh. That's something that I wish. I saw the SALE shelves and spent most of my time there. I didn't find anything interesting, though. I passed thru Landmark and saw DVDs. Oh man. My weaknesses inside a mall are just two things: bookstores and movies. I scanned thru the titles and found Sabrina. I *heart* Harrison Ford! Ok, so I bought it. I know, I'm broke. It was on sale, anyway. Haha.

Ok, so I really decided to go home already. I went to take a bus, but the heavens poured. I didn't want to walk under the rain so I just took the train. When I reached my station I immediately went to Shang to take a drink at the foodcourt. Thank God for water stations. Haha. I didn't go around the mall anymore as I was already tired and was scared that I might buy something again. Haha. So I just bought meds and then walked to Star Mall to take a jeep home. Oh, funny, while I was at Mercury Drug, this lady was buying medicines for her dogs. I didn't know that dogs also took the same meds as people!

Eek, this is really a long entry. I just wanted to write about my different day. Haha. I always stay at home lately, so going to Makati is momentous. The ending is just me getting home and feeling all tired. :P Maybe after this I'll watch the DVD I bought.



Salut!

Blah

It's so hard to be misunderstood:

It's all in the mind.. Snap out of it.. It's your fault.. There's no reason..



You don't even know how it feels.






Crap.

French Fries

Yesterday was a "French-filled" day. J and I watched French films all day (three, to be exact) at the French Film Festival at Shangri La. Then ate French Fries from McDo. Haha. I should've eaten French toast, too.

We watched these:

Dix-Sept Fois Cecile Cassard
400 coups
La Pianiste

Being influenced by conservative Catholic culture (oh super yeah, Catholic school all the way, and what family I belong to), I sort of "got sick" watching some of the scenes. I was just not prepared to see such things (yet?). But as my friend V mentioned, what liberation it brought.

We can't all just hide in our own "sheltered" worlds all the time. The movie is not pornography. It's a really decent film. It's all about perspective. All three films were great. I could say that La Pianiste is my favorite. I like the plot very much. The story is very real. It presents how sick everyone of us are. How we are all strangled by the society we live in. How society makes us sick. We have our own secret desires that the world looks down upon. We can't break free as culture says it's wrong. But should those reasons, being wrong in the eyes of society, keep us from being happy? Keep us from living our life?

Society drives us mad. Pushes us to the limits. It makes us want to turn the other way. Turn away. But we simply cannot. Though the fighter in us rebels--we hide our desires, we do them secretly. In turn our desires burn us down. Like a mad, struggling dog trying to break free from her chains, she is violently strangled.





Sigh.

Tambayan

Mabuti na may nakakaintindi. Kahit na hindi kakilala. Kahit na hindi kasama. Kahit na malayo. Kahit na hindi na alam kung magkikita pa muli. Kahit na sa mundong ito lamang.



Sana makatambay pa ako nang mas matagal.

Hiding

And we'll forever hide behind the darkness of uncertainty. Where everything is quiet yet deafening. Where everything is dark yet blinding. Where no ray of sunlight hits the ground.

Where nobody can see, but the eyes cannot be shut. Where the mind is constantly haunted by uncontrollable images. Where we constantly wish that the saying "Ignorance is bliss" were forever true.

We run, but we aren't getting anywhere. We're tired, but cannot stop. Controls are useless.




Are you hiding? Or are you lost? Are you out of control?



Bummer.

NO TO CON-ASS

Sabi nila sa news kanina na kailangan nila ng PhP2M para maipalabas ito sa TV. Pwede rin naman natin i-repost nalang sa mga blog natin para makita ng lahat.

Di AKO, TAYO papayag.

Just

Just want to sleep til it's all over. Trying to reach it, but nothing seems to work. Nobody helps, nobody listens. Just blank stares. Just blank sheets. Just unanswered conversations. Unanswered calls.

it just made me so bad trip now

I really hate social exclusion. As in HATE. I always tell my pamangkins not to use the word HATE because it's not really nice. But now, I'm using it. I hate social exclusion. Why do you have to do it? Why should it be there? Why did you even have to mention it in the first place? It makes me feel as if you don't like talking about it. It's as if you're ashamed it even happened. Parang napreso lang ah. Parang nakapatay lang ah. Ganoong level din ba yun? :( ang sad. Bakit kailangan pa ba ikahiya ang isang bagay na hindi naman masama? Kung totoo naman, bakit kailangan pang itago? Bakit kailangan pang maging ganito? Wala na.

Poke

I remember one of my best friends poke me when I told her I don't really care about those stuff anymore. Haha. Too bad. It's kinda sad, actually.
