lazy as a dog

Darn, I really am finding it very difficult for me to regularly update this stupid blog! Why the heck can’t I be just a normal juan dela cruz and minds his own business and keeps his mouth shut! But no! I am that guy who can’t live in silence and tolerate all the stupidity that blankets the world. I guess I’m really developing a habit of “panonood ng mga tao sa paligid ko, at abangan silang sumamblay… good times… great times….

June is a big month for me. Obviously it is my birthday month and if it wasn’t for June, I wont be here to shout out my insanity. Thank God! I got this broadband! Now I can browse my emails. I opened it (finally) the other week and found 130+ items still unread! No guys, I don’t have emails coming from the crap-filled website Friendster. It was just overwhelming!

What am I up to lately? Well I have been browsing and viewing various episodes of family guy and Southpark – laugh trip! To the writers, just don’t blaspheme ok? Be good!

Its been a week since I updated this twisted space… yep its odd, given that I’m online every single night… tinatamad lang si pare… I just enjoy reading my old entries and laugh out loud all the complaints I previously hurled. It just reminds me that I’ll have better days…

mission impossible

Teaching a dog the lesson of flight
Or making the sun set at moon and make it shine all night

Preventing the waves from reaching the bay
Or getting rid of my shadow in a perfect sunny day

Catching all the raindrops of the falling rain
Or searching for that one cup, the infamous holy grail

Even trying to walk on air
Or heal the world from all its despair

Still…

Nothing is harder than telling you the truth
And forever ill hide beneath this silly crypt
And in eternity I’ll cloak myself in silence
And you will never see that I love you…

…more than you’ll ever know

Mirage

Here we are standing side by side
Sharing every breath whilst we stroll under the moonlight
With the gentle ocean breeze
Caressing our blissful spirit
Taking pleasure as the nightingale serenades our eager soul
Together with the stars spelling out our banded names
As the angels play their heavenly instruments
Crafting their majestic celestial tones
Yes, that serves as the icing on the cake…
It is perfect… truly perfect…

Walking down the aisle adorned by lilacs
As the air was filled by the blossoming fragrance
Cuddling our hearts like a snowcap at the alps
All I can hear is our heartbeat
Pounding like a war drum
Thumping and beating madly
While we draw closer and closer to each other
And everything became soundless
As your lips opened and about to say
Those words I’ve been longing for
I have waited an eternity for this time
This unparalleled time

And at that moment, that faithful moment
As your lips were about to touch mine
A deep breath consumed me and finally…

Like a lightning bolt hitting me…

I woke up…

Welcome back to reality
And there I saw you, standing in front of me.
Glancing and bestowing me, that enchanting smile…

And then I noticed his arms locked around you
And your beautiful face clasped on his chest…

death row

I will forever lock myself up in this fortress
To inhibit myself from being useless
I confess to the crime I committed
Standing guilty to everyone in sight
I’m the culprit for manslaughter
And all of the heinous crimes known to man
I’m a shadow casted from a dim light
With no regard to human life

Yes I am evil, yes I am mad
But how can I help it?
When all along beneath this thick armor
This crooked mask and my sham laughter
Is a frail heart with no control
A moron who does not know
Which ones are just or which ones are wicked

Here I am tapping out
Giving up everything, all that I’ve got…
To the jury, please step out
Bring on the executioner and end it all up
Chain me right here and award me the guillotine
Hang me up today or better yet, electrocute me quick
I beg you, take away this pain in me…

To the cavaliers, please hold your horses
Come to think of it
Isn’t “that” the only misdeed that I concocted?
Was it that bad that I have to suffer this much pain and anguish?
When all the while, the only thing I was trying to utter are those three twisted words…
Words that could give me either bliss or death…
But I chose to be silent, so please take my spirit now…

why i live in the Philippines, the sequel...

In celebration of the independence day, I would like to express my love for my country – isa pang banat why I live in the Philippines…

It is still the only place in the world...

...where drinking and smoking at sidewalks is considered a profession

...where chicken feet, chicken blood, intestines and rotten eggs are considered a delicacy


...where everyone thinks working abroad is the only way to escape poverty

...where rain during weddings is also called “blessing”

...where even the poorest of poor has a textmate

...where homos have a book of their own language

...where Friday is treated a “scheduled sick leave day”

...where everybody knows a certain “tita baby” or “kuya jun-jun”

...where a boxer is considered a national hero

...where nobody is wrong nor defeated – just misunderstood or cheated

...where there are pink urinals all over the metro

...where every town/city has its own festival of some sort

...where only a superhero qualifies as a president

...where body has been on tv at least once in their lifetime

...where orange traffic light means “speed it up before the light turns to red”

...where “NO loading & unloading zone” is synonymous to “loading and unloading zone”

...where there are two sets of garbage cans – one for biodegradable and the other for non-biodegradable; both contains the same stuff, mixed rubbish.

...where every event is celebrated with a videoke machine

...where road construction is a never ending task; build it then pound it... repeat...

yep, my country is unique and it totally rocks! rock on Pilipinas, rock on!

its been a long long while...

Here's the thing...

I celebrated my birthday yesterday and how can i say this? Well its kinda not a very pretty sight to glaze upon.

What i felt was i wish i was holding a titanium spear and thrust it through my brain just to end my misery. I was like "dude its my birthday its gonna be a very wonderful day for me." And here I am, missing a day of expressing myself. I was really puffed out yesterday that i have no energy left to try to express my self.

Well today its payback time!

I would not be very detailed in telling the events of the previous day. I would like to describe it like this...

You know the feeling that you hit rock bottom? well, under it is a 50-meter layer of crap, and under it is me... Man, i really really feel bad yesterday... good thing i received a life saving txt message... to you, i awe you big time...

I know life ain't fair. So i just have to pick myself up and look into the mirro and say i have been through even worse things in my life.

i can stand again and live another day...

another day of giving misery to other people! hahaha

shhiiish what a drama king! i need to get a life!

hey by the way, to my girl, tnx for the Blueberry Cheese Cake! It was you - the only bright spot in that very very dark day... let me just say, i really do love you. thanks 4 being always there for me...

my 24 birthday is quite symbolic, just like the days of the Sumerians - those who invented the wheel during the earliest civilizations... during the 24 birthday of their young men.. they are allowed to subscribe for a broadband and unlimited access to the internet... thats why i have one right now! just like the old times...

yep, i made that one up.... hahaha

chatz, out!

According to Manila businessman, there is so much wit in the Philippines because ‘. . .we are a
country where a good sense of humor is needed to survive. This is the reason why amazingly
Filipinos are one of the happiest people in the world.

We have a 24-hour comedy show here called the government and a huge reserve of comedians made up mostly of politicians and bad actors.

Now I ask you where else in the world would one want to live?

Hanep sa banat diba? Galing!
