Sometimes, the natural balance of things is a bitch.

That's Sam raaaaanting. Rant rant ran raaaant! :|

of puking and pregnancy

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 13:58:58 GMT

On my way home, I really wanted to puke soooo bad. It's like it's up here! (sam pointing to her throat). So, I got to hold it in until I got into the tricycle. Five tumblings away from my village, I told my trike driver:

Sam: Manong, susuka ako. para!
T.D(after sumuka ni sam): BUNTIS KA BA?!!!
Sam: IMPOSIBLE PO! Kape lang yan!
T.D: Halikan na, uuwi na kita. Libre na pamasahe.

mukha ba kong buntis? hindi kasi talaga pwedeng mangyari e. HAHAHAHAHA. masarap dinner, chicken.

We went to Sarabia Optical, Alabang today to get my eyes 'refracted' (as stated by my mother).

Ophthalmologist: meron po siyang slight astigmatism. mga 25 po.
Mom: So kelangan niyang suotin ba lagi yang salamin niya?
Ophthalmologist: opo, para po may focus siya.

HAHAHAHAHA. So here I am now, wearing my new pair of removable eyes.

Oh yeah, and I got to buy a book entitled "Poetry Speaks" for 540php in Booksale. It's minus the cd's though but it's okay. :)

WHY THE HELL DO I KEEP GETTING WEIRD TEXT MESSAGES TODAY?

I haven't talked to my college friend, Pao since the break started but out of the blue, she pops out and decided to make her presence known through a text message:

Paola Reyes: Sam, punta ka dito sa bahay ko ngayn na! Hinihintay namin!
Sam: What the?
Paola: Dali, may absolut at cuervong naghhntay sayo! Seryoso to.
Sam: Bakit ngayon pang masama pakiramdam ko?
Paola: E gagaling ka pag pumunta ka dito!
Sam: Lasing ka ba? Anlayo mo no!
Paola: Gago, hindi pa nabubuksan! Dal na, andto kami!
Sam: Sino sino kayo? Di ako pwedeeee!
Paola: Naku! Sige, iinom ka nalang namin! Wahahaha!
Sam: Maraming Salamat! Bawi ako next time, my treat! Cheers!
Paola: Sige na nga! Magpagaling ka!

This is weird because knowing Pao, she isn't normally this aggressive when it comes to inviting people to drink at her house. Yes I know I maybe fond of drinking but this is something else. Plus, she would give me a heads-up, like a day before or something. What's happening to the world?

There are other text messages that I received today that I wouldn't normally classify as well, normal. One texted me without shortcuts, and I know him as someone who texts like "d2 n k" or "tignn k." Another texted me "dito ako tapat ng perrisweel." A bandmate texted "Sam, anong sira?". Another guy texted me "Nood movie." AMONG OTHERS. I wouldn't be surprised if I would receive a text message that says "I'm about to jump off a 2-story building" or something. Okay, maybe that's a lame attempt to explain myself but I guess you pretty much get my point.

I should really switch off my phone already and just do something else.

Wed, 02 Jan 2008 10:17:29 GMT

I was trying to relax in my room when I heard my phone beep. (Nice, just when I was just about to lie down and eat my cold fettuccine, someone decides to send me a message. Well, so much for alone time.)

Adel: SAM! I HATE U!
Sam: Adel, why do you hate me?
Adel: because u dint evn grt me nung xmas! i hate u!
Sam: Wala akong binati sa text, gaga!
Adel: and so? i want u 2 grt me paden! che!
(People ARE surprisingly needy when you least expect it)
(How the hell should I know she still wants me to greet her? How the hell should I know what everyone wants? Sheesh.)
Sam: Adel? Are you high again? Not greeting you doesn't mean I'm not wishing you happy holidays!
Adel: chenes cheverloo chukchak chenes mo sieke fufu! abuchikek! ekekekek! and no. im not high. ur hi! im hellow!
Sam: :| tigilan mo na nga pagsinghot ng asukal sa bahay niyo!
Adel: oh wat do u min? asukal? ur so cheaf! u go get urself ur asukal! bkt nkakahigh b un? cnbi ng ikaw ang high!
Sam: Punyeta ka maria adelaida corpuz!
Adel: kiss mo muna me! muahmuah! grit m nlng ako hapi new yr!
Sam: Umm.. ano ako? uto uto? Sige na nga, happy new year! Yan kiss mo!
Adel: where? muahmuah! uto uto? u2ten?

I'll spare you from the rest of this exchange of holiday brainfarts. It's haunting to see too many cheverloos in varying versions and realizing a come back for uto uto is 'u2ten'. And 'hellow' for high. It's a manic blast from the past consisting of childplays. Inclusive of abuchike. :|

It's not stopping. She just filled my inbox with Juan and Erap jokes. And just told me she's lonely, oh so lonely, like Miriam Quiambao. :| This is too much. Unforgivable. :|

HAHAHAHA.

It was about 5 in the afternoon

Tue, 01 Jan 2008 12:44:05 GMT

when I started reading a new book, The Elephant Vanishes by Mr. Murakami. I'm onto page 100 already. After I finish this entry, I'm going to continue reading and hopefully finish it by tomorrow morning.

I cried (bading). After reading one story from the book. It's entitled 'On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning'. I really wish I could type everything or even just a good part of it here to let you experience the story for yourselves but.. I'm lazy like that so I'll try and summarize it but pleeaaaase, read it!

So basically, this story is about a boy and a girl who finds out that they are the 100% perfect girl and boy for each other (soul mates, in its simplest sense). Then each agreed to part just to make sure that they really are meant for each other. Since they knew no matter what and no matter how long they won't see each other, they will still end up together and get married. During the course of their separation, they became ill causing them to lose their memory. Some time after twelve years, the boy was walking along when he passed by a girl. He immediately felt that she was the 100% perfect girl for him. Little did he know, the girl felt the same way. Sadly, they didn't do anything about what they felt and just continued walking,the girl walking east to west, the boy walking west to east. It was the biggest mistake they ever made for they wasted a cosmic miracle.

Boo.

New Year
by Death Cab for Cutie

So this is the new year.
and i don't feel any different.
the clanking of crystal
explosions off in the distance (in the distance).

so this is the new year
and I have no resolutions
for self assigned penance
for problems with easy solutions

so everybody put your best suit or dress on
let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
as thirty dialogues bleed into one

i wish the world was flat like the old days
then i could travel just by folding a map
no more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways
there'd be no distance that can hold us back.

Tagay, Tay!

Sun, 30 Dec 2007 08:57:30 GMT

I'm back from Tagaytay. It was alataffan!

I rode a horse again. After a long time. Glad I still know how. (With my period.Haha)

I got to finish Girl With A Pearl Earring all in one day! Yey! Magandaaa! Basahin nyo! Kung wala kayong copy, pahiramin ko kayo! Jowee, time for the dvd! :D

I saw my uncle who's a drunkard. Hardcore, the three days we were there, he was drunk. Hahaha.

I am excited for Death Cab Night :D

Yes, though it's been said many times, many ways and for kids from 1-92, Merry Merry Christmas!

I hope and pray everyone had a good Christmas. (of course good is relative but what the heck). :)

It's not so bad packing up a few Holiday pounds so eat up and cheeeers!

Happy Happy Holidays to all of you and to your families. :)

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 14:15:09 GMT

I'm happy because I got everything I wanted (and even more) this Christmas. Material wise.

I want to go back to my running, rollerblading and gymnastics. But first, I should get stretching every morning back to my system. Yes yes, I should start with that.

I'm losing weight. Humihina na rin ako kumain. Bumabagal pa. Pfft.

I want to post more stuff on my wall. Fill it up with posters, photos, Warhols and maybe my own (f)artworks. My room shall be my living testimony, even though it's not technically a living creature. Whatever.

I'm tired and paos. Yes, sexy time voice finishing it off with coughs and colds.

I want to watch Martian Child. Earth to mom: buy me a movie ticket, please and thank you :D

Sam,

I suddenly want you
to change.

Dear God,

Thanks a lot for giving me lots and lotsa blessings especially during this Holiday Season. I know I haven't been praying for so long now and I have been falling short of Your glory over and over and over again. But thanks, because You never let me down. You are always there for everyone that I hold near and dear to my heart. Thank you most especially because I know that I am experiencing healing towards my dad. Also, thank you because lately, my mom is always happy and it makes all of us happy double time. As well as my brothers, they've achieved things they've been longing to do so for so long now. You're the bomb!

Amen :)

May kotse kaming nakatabi kagabi habang nagdadrive ang kaibigan ko. Nanonood siya ng porno, walang tint yung salamin ng kotse niya. Andungis nyang matanda. Malamang hindi natutustusan ang pangangailangan ng katawan niya. IMPURE :|

Sam: oo, marj. matagal yung makakakuha ng visa. US pa yun.

Lying down alone,
I am so confused in yearning for you
that I have forgotten
The tangles of my long black hair
Desiring the one who stroked it clear.

CUTE CABBING FOR DEATH

It's a backwards attraction to your forward eyes
But you're so far-sighted that you can't place trust
In what or who you recognize

Tracing the plot finds skin touching skin (abscence follows).
In the end, i win every time as ink remains.

Now we all know the words were true in the sappiest songs (yes, yes).
I'll put them to bed, but they won't sleep, they're just shuffling the sheets, they toss and turn,

And I knew your heart I couldn't win

I'm blaming it on the Christmas lights.

Mon, 10 Dec 2007 10:41:32 GMT

I turned right and saw that my house was already illuminated by the Christmas lights. Bigla akong nalungkot. As in hardcore nalungkot. Maybe it's this Yuletide blues that's creeping in. Or maybe that sad Christmas song I heard a while ago, that I ended up missing (really missing) my dad who's P70,000 away from us. Like it always has been, for eight straight years now.

I seriously miss him. He's going to spend the holidays again without us. I remember him telling me that even if he was surrounded by a lot of his friends whenever it's Christmas, "Hindi ko parin maramdaman yung saya kasi wala naman kayo." May snow nga sa kanila dun, pwedeng magsnow angels tas malamig. Pero mas malamig para sakanya kasi wala naman kami dun. :(

(Sige na kasi Sam, go na.)

Fri, 07 Dec 2007 14:40:45 GMT

I was in Starbucks a while ago and was planning on doing some paperworks and turns out, my friends didn't push through with our original plan. BUT, I saw two of my close friends in Starbucks also so we already chatted away for almost three hours.

Some highlights of our conversations:
We are planning on going Asia-tripping five years from now. We were weighing our options.

Sam: O san nyo nga gusto pumunta?
Lorraine: Sa Thailand nga!
Marjorie: Onga, dun! Para beach!
Sam: E galing na ko dun e. Sa Hong Kong?
Lorraine: Tanga mag-English mga tao dun e. Di makaintindi
Marjorie: Sa Egypt!
Sam: Taraaaaa! Pyramiiiiids!
Lorraine: Anong gagawin dun ha?!
Sam: CULTURE!
Lorraine: Walang nightlife! Walang beach!
Sam: Sa Singapore?
Marjorie (neutral face)
Lorraine: Parang Makati lang yun e!
Sam: E India?! Taraaa! Spicy foods at culture!
Marjorie: Taj Mahal!
Lorraine: E mabababaho tao mga tao dun e!
...
Sam: Siguro naman after five years, may deodorant na mga Indians, tas di na mukhang Makati Singapore tas marunong nang mag-ingles mga taga Hong Kong!

Another highlight. Since we talked about our yearly Christmas gathering.
(Which is going to be extra special since three of them are going to leave the country. Sana ako nadin 4th na!)

Sam: Ano? dun nalang tayo samin magsimbang gabi tas sa Zapote na tayo mamalengke.
Lorraine: Oo nga, pwede din.
Marjorie: O ano bibilin?
....
Sam: Liempo! Pero Lorraine, may ihawan ka ba?
Lorraine: Wala e. Yung sa stove lang
Sam: Daanan natin yung amin!
Lorraine: Osige!
Sam: Ilang kilo?Enough na tatlo! Iinuman malamang matakaw mga tao!
Lorraine: Oo hahatiin naman e!
(Katahimikan)
Marjorie (seryosong mukha, mukhang biglang may narealize at may importanteng sasabihin): Pero dapat hihiwain nalang yung liempo pagkaihaw!
(Sam at Lorraine nagtinginan)
Sam: Hindi ko alam kung maooffend kami sa sinabi mo Marj e! Malamang, alangan naman hatiin muna tas isa isahin sa ihawan!
Lorraine: Grabe! Imbisna maasar ka, matatawa ka nalang e!

HAHAHAHAHA. GOODVIBES.
