my first entry by my honest self...and hell freezes over.
POSTED AT 03:01 AM
wow...I'm actually using an online journal. that one's for the books. before anything else, let's make something clear; why should I (or anyone else for that matter) write in a journal? that question bugged my mind since my net-addict sister introduced online journals to me. I had a diary once, but I really did'nt write on it everyday, and I hate the thought that I was talking to a diary like it was a person. actually, I did'nt like online journals before. most online journals I see are kinda, well, pointless, comparing to siopao, parang ampao na walang laman sa loob. mindless entries, things like that. I once thought it was useless to have one. besides, no one really gives a shit about what you type. well, as I pondered that thought, I watched tv. as you know, it's election fever time, so there's lots of news reports about candidates and election results. I love politics, not that I want to be a politician myself, but I like seeng these people waste kilos of printed money on campaign ads and look stupid on tv, yet they still lose. and the winners, yeah sure they win the position, but it's not worth the cause. you don't earn too much with your salary, you make lots of enemies, your schedules become fully booked, and you eventually put your life on the line because your political rivals want to kill you. makakakurakot nga sila, pero lugi pa rin dahil sa pangungurakot nila, bababa halaga ng pera natin, tataas presyo, ganun din, mauubos pera nila kc mahal na ang mga bilihin. I was already laughing, when I thought about journals again. I really want to rant or laugh about some situations or experiences I go through, like those stupid politicians, and put them into writing. and the only way my thoughts could make their way into words is to type in an online journal. I want to look back on them without forgetting them. and another reason is, I want to be honest with my feelings about the world. the world's full of crap, that's why it's ending, yet there's still some things in it that makes you laugh or smile, or make you feel good inside. so, I decided to write an online journal, to put in my thoughts, whether it's a rant or something to laugh at, so at least I can remenisce whatever I was thinking the day before, because the best thing to do with your memories and thoughts is to remember and cherish them, and to keep them safe for looking back on when the time comes. so, this is my first post. I'll be looking back on this one.

The novelty song conspiracy theory
POSTED AT 11:46 PM
You know, I really gotta salute Lito Camo, the novelty songwriter. Another sleepless night due to some of his creations. you see, I have been listening these past few hours to (I know, it's unbelievable but true) novelty songs. that's right, novelty songs, the ones you usually hear during noontime variety shows, particularly those that are sung by bayani agbayani and vhong navarro. wait, don't judge me yet, let me explain first why. my story starts while I was looking for good shots of the jaboom twins on the internet(can't help it; they're heavenly creations) for my "collage of 10". sadly, most of their fansites are down, except for one forum that caught my eye. It says there that the twins have done a new mtv for a shampoo product (forgot what it was), and the video's currently shown on myx and on the local stations. so I got up and turned on my tv. as if my luck just got a super boost, suddenly, there it was, the video featuring the twins, currently being shown on channel 2. they were singing a song for the shampoo they were endorsing. I don't know if it was the twins or the song, but it held me in my position right through until the ad ended. so I was thinking, maybe it was the twins, but as I went back to my PC, the song was kinda repeating inside of my head, on and on, until I was humming to the tune subconciously while I was browsing. it did'nt bother me too much before, but it went on and on inside my head, even as I was playing pRO, until I can't stand it anymore and decided to borrow a cd full of novelty songs, which contained the twins' song, from a friend of mine. but I did'nt listen to it right away. later that day, I was in a cranky mood because my dad made me research some documents on the internet about some laws, 'cause he's a lawyer. he was really bossy, not to mention his ignorance about the internet. I was being blamed for the slow internet speed and the unyielding results made by the search engines. It was really making me mad. anyway, I was in a bad mood after finishing the "research", when I saw the cd I borrowed from my friend earlier that day. since I had nothing to do then, I decided to listen to the cd. later, while I was running thru the cd, the songs I was listening to really caught my ear. I was actually moving to the beat. I was really surprised with the automatic reaction of my body to the songs, and (to my opinion) they were really enjoyable to listen to. nice tune, good beats. It really made me forget my bad mood. after listening to the songs, it made me think. these novelty songs, they really catch the mood of the people, it usually appeals to the masses. once they are played, a happy mood usually comes over those who listen to the song. don't you notice something strange about these songs, the way they always run in 4-beats, most of the time using percussion sounds, and usually have high-tone sounds? there might be a subliminal frequency unnoticed by the human ear that induces a "happy" effect on the brain. hmm, you know what I think? Lito Camo might be a secret conspiracy agent hired by the government to create songs containing these "subliminal" tunes that are disseminated thru the local channels, in order to calm down the masses so they won't revolt? ah, it's too far-fetched, but who knows? It could be that the american government's using us as guinea pigs for some new conspiracy propaganda material. I mean, they have been doing it since the cold war. we might never know the truth. oh well.....
(by the way, I'm still crazed about the jaboom twins and their video, and sandara park too, 'cause she's part of my collage of 10, so if anyone there knows some resource site about them, please let me know about it)

siat ap...err hehehe
POSTED AT 07:36 PM
Now, this one made my tummy hurt. I was laughing so hard about this. the thing that happened at congress was so funny, the one where an old congressman yelled "siat ap" (at least that's what I heard) over a memo sent to him that told him to shut up. kudos to the persons who sent the memo to him. hehehe, that moment was priceless. from now on I'm calling that congressman Gaspar, from the flash movie "you kick my dog" at funnyjunk.com. I mean, can you imagine paying taxes everyear just to see this guy yell "siat ap" in congress? he did'nt carry himself like a gentleman. that's not the way a lawmaker of this country's supposed to act.....but at least it was funny. as I have said, that moment was priceless. It will forever be remembered together with the impeachment trials of erap. besides, the senders were right; he SHOULD shut up. he was wasting time, probably so that he and his peers could prepare for cheating. the longer it takes and the more it gets complicated, the more the public gets confused. they should stop wasting time and start counting votes, so that at least they could make something right for a change. well, at least they're good at something, and that's making us laugh. maybe they should make a new government position for official government commedians. in that case, I would vote for miriam santiago or joseph estrada. that way, our taxes would be good for something.

just plain bored...
POSTED AT 11:46 PM
ahh, nothing to do today. woke up to find my folks gone, leaving a text message on my phone saying they're off to the hospital. well, good for me, just alone in my paradise home. played some games, watched tv, ate some instant meal (it's been 2 days since I've ate rice). I was just lazing around, being my usual couch potato-self. watched tv, some phone calls from my friends, a bit more instant noodles, then back to tv again. I'm really bored, probably because I can't play ragnarok (no load, damnit). also, I missed school (did I really say that?). at least I can go around and hang out when I'm at school. anyway, I'm still really bored, so I surfed the net a bit and made some images. sigh, I wish tomorrow would be a bit more exciting...
