sine klasiks

edu manzano in yellow spandex? i almost laughed out loud when i saw herbert bautista morph into captain barbell yesterday. and man, the effects were hilarious. and now they are showing once upon a time two starring dolphy. winner talaga ang trip to memory lane.

and the most amusing fact to know about these movies? i watched it on the big screen with my sisters and relatives. promise. pati magic to love ata ni raymond wong at kris aquino hindi namin pinalagpas.

hay the days of lot-lot, tito, vic and joey, jimmy santos and that's entertainment. oy don't forget your birchtree ha. :)

Never judge another person's scars, because you don't know how they got them.

i never in my whole life thought i would be called a slut. yes you read that right. and to think the person who thinks i am does not even really know me. he was the one who even said that we are not close friends. and lalaki ang taong ito.

you don't know who i am and where i came from. you don't know personal stories about my past nor my family. i may have made mistakes with some decisions in my life and learned from them. falling from grace doesn't give you the power to judge me that way. what gives you the right to condemn me?

we tried to be your friend. heck we even shunned other people from our circle for you. but then they were the ones who were right. we were never really enemies with them so huwag mong sasabihin na pinaplastik namin sila. tumahimik lang kami ng dahil sa yo. and don't be so righteous about yourself. blaming others for calling me names, kaya ginawa mo? ginaya mo ang taong galit sa akin? again back to my first point. you don't KNOW me enough to say those things. di ba unjust yun?

i knew this fact from other people so i couldn't defend myself. though it is useless for me to reason out din dahil ikaw lagi ang tama. alam ko sa una pa lang you didn't treat me as a friend. hinusgahan mo na ko. so i stayed away from you. pero para tawagin mo ako ng ganon sa ibang tao, ibang usapan na yan. i have never said anything about you that people around us didn't know already. face me like a man you say you are.

sa mga nagaakalang kaibigan siya, ingat lang kayo baka iba na ang tawag niya sa inyo pagtalikod niyo.

doing the math

my brain has favored doing math equations lately. don't get me wrong, i'm no calculus genius yet. it's just that i'm so worried about my financial status that i cannot get it out of my head. i hate thinking of this shit day in and day out.

oscars sighting

my mobile phone beeps. a text message from my aunt.

tita: nanay mo ba yung nandun sa chika minute? nakita ko siya sa oscars.
me: (puzzled) ano po yung chika min? wala naman po syang nabanggit the other day when she called.
tita: sa channel 7. i swear siya yun. smiling, katabi nung ininterview ni lhar santiago.
me: eh kaya naman pala di ko alam kapuso pala pinapanood niyo. sige i'll ask her.

i send an SMS to my mom right after.

me: ma nakita ka daw ni tita sa TV sa ch.7. asa oscars ka ba?
ma: oo, i'll tell you about it later. antok na ko.

nge! ang showbiz talaga ng nanay ko...

later that night i waited for the GMA evening news. no mistaking, nanay ko nga yun!

the kid in me

i miss the kid in me. lately i feel that i've been missing her. i think she got lost. somewhere. don't get me wrong i still love hello kitty, the color pink, cute korean stuff -- kpop artists included, flip flops, rabbits, seventeen magazines and juvenille books.

but lately i feel like i've been caught up in too many grown-up stuff that the kid took a step back, packed some things up and went on vacation.

i miss the days when i could think of nothing but trivial stuff. i miss my fanatic days. my do-nothing-but-read-a-book or watch TV days. i also miss the-save-for-that-favorite-shoe days.

jopen would often say that i am a 27-year-old thinking like a 40-year-old. flattering that i think maturely for my age but sometimes i wanna turn that logical/analitical thinker in me off.

that's what i hate growing up. you come around to reality. *ugh*

thanks mom!

i was listening to chico and delamar this morning, their topic was top 10 sexist comments you've heard/received. del (close kami) commented that she read somewhere that a big percent of an offsping's intelligence comes from the mother. curious about it, i looked it up on the net when i got here at the office.

from http://www2.cedarcrest.edu/academic/writing/intelligence/nempage1.htm

Intelligence is not only affected by simple heredity, such as dominant and recessive alleles, multiple allele combinations, or sex-linkage, but it was recently discovered that imprinted genes also contribute a great deal to an individual's intellect. Imprinted genes are different from ordinary genes that are inherited from both the mother and father. In regard to ordinary genes, it is impossible to determine which gene was inherited from each parent. On the other hand, "Imprinted genes are different. They carry a biochemical label that reveals their parental origin and determines whether or not they are active inside the cells of the offspring" (Vines 34). Research has shown that "some imprinted genes work only if they come from the mother. The same gene is silenced if it is inherited via the sperm, rather than the egg. Other imprinted genes operate the other way round and are only switched on if they are inherited from the father" (Vines 34).

Some breakthrough research has suggested that imprinted genes have an integral role in the inheritance of intelligence. The investigation suggests that the "mother's genes play the dominant role in the development of the parts of her offsprings' brains that are responsible for intelligence. The father's genes, on the other hand, may shape ... the parts of their brains that influence emotional make-up" (Vines 34). Although research continues to find out more about the imprinted genes that influence intelligence, one preliminary hypothesis is that the "mother's genes make the biggest contribution to the part of the brain that society values most - the cortex" (Vines 38), which is the portion of the brain that is responsible for intellectual skills such as language and the ability to plan ahead.


so i want to thank my mom for giving me this brain. :)
go and thank yours too.

weekend thoughts

i have neglected this blog due to the fact i had too much going on my mind the past few days. so ok, i'm back with thoughts here and there...

1. Kris Aquino's Pantene shampoo ad - she's reportedly paid 8M for this commercial. Heck i dunno why. *lol* and there's something weird about the shampoo's type -- age defying something. don't get me wrong, i use pantene and i love the brand to pieces but ageing hair? IMHO, i don't see age in a person's mane. i see it in his/her face. therefore if you are looking old, it's not the hair that needs a lift, it's the face. BTW hair looks old if it's graying so dye is the answer to your problems not some shampoo endorsed by kris.

2. The Job - you must be wondering what's my decision over that. well i just turned it down a few minutes ago. funny, here i am praying for a bit more cash in my pocket and i end up turning my back on the answer. the thing is i know what i am capable of, and i know i am not yet ready to take on that kind of responsibility. "you're in a dead end job!" some of you might say. but for me it is a bit hard to do a job well if your heart isn't really into it.

so now patricia you go scrimp some more on your meager wages. ^_^*

3. WWE Raw - yep i gave in to the BF. i went with him to the Araneta last Saturday, the 25th to watch WWE amidst the state of emergency declaration of GMA. And even though we were in the general patronage area it wasn't all that bad (although araneta could fix the bathrooms to match their supposed sosy image now). We had interesting bleacher-mates, a mother and daughter team. i was in awe with their knowledge of the game, specially the mom, who could even give me a blow by blow of what happened during the royal rumble. she even knew the names and theme songs of the wrestlers by heart hehehe. there were college kids behind us who could give the WWE commentators a run for their money, they were hilarious. I'm happy that i made randy happy (he couldn't stop thanking me after for going with him -- mahabang pakiusapan yun). the matches were great, the diva's were hot (i long for a WWE diva bod) and araneta was filled to the hilt (super kumita yung producer nito). and the highlight of the show was seeing Edge's t-back underwear, exposed accidentaly by John Cena for all the world to see... wahahaha...

skirt, skirt, skirt...

there's this black skirt at folded and hung that i wanted to buy a few weeks ago. it was at a 50% off, so it would cost about 300 pesos or so. but then i placed it back on the rack due to very tight funds.

today as i was browsing this korean fashion shopping site, i see this:



the replica of the skirt i thought of buying.
i want to kill myself right now.

happy puso!

happy valentine's day :)


lifted from kalypso's

Romance, like love, rings true and endures.

WHAT'S ROMANTIC:

1. Holding hands is romantic. Sometimes it's even more fun than kissing.
2. When a man brushes a girl's hair away from her face with his hands is romantic.
3. Leaving love notes on car windshields is romantic.
4. A man who takes the lyrics of a song seriously and applies it to the two of you is romantic.
5. A man who calls on the phone to check whether you got home safe is romantic.
6. Hearing mass together is romantic.
7. A man who cooks dinner for you -- whether it's a full gourmet dinner or just Spanish omelet -- is romantic.
8. Playing together on the same team (be it charades, volleyball, or Name That Tune is romantic).
9. Sharing a Stork candy (he bites it in two and shares the half with you) on one softdrink bottle when you don't have money is romantic.
10. Taking coffee together at a cafe in the wee hours of the morning after a bad day's "work" at the bar is romantic.
11. A man who knows what you're going to say next is romantic.
12. A man who asks, "what's the matter" or "is something wrong" if he notices your silence is romantic.
13. A man who watches you and then tells you how you move is romantic.
14. A man who gives you cards and writes little cute things on them is romantic.
15. Sipping hot soup or coffee together inside a restaurant and watching the rain pour against the glass window is romantic.
16. A man who cries is romantic.
17. A man who blushes is romantic.
18. Falling in love is romantic.

WHAT'S NOT ROMANTIC:

19. Loving is not.
20. Falling for a man for reasons other than love is not romantic.
21. A man who's self-absorbed is not romantic.
22. A man who gives you presents and then feels self-important because he gave you presents is nowhere near romantic.
23. A man who's so engrossed with hs car and the gadgets in it is not romantic.
24. A man who doesn't thank you or doesn't excuse himself when he leaves your presence is not only not romantic, he's also "bastus".
25. A man who s offers you drugs or "weed" is not romantic.
26. A man who's too sure, too self-confident, too suave, too perfect, is not romantic.
27. A man who pays more attention to sexy women and is too sexual in his overtones is not romantic. (He's a sex fiend and, hear this, doesn't even like sex.)
28. A man who is insensitive to your feelings or to your state of mind is not romantic.
29. A man who takes things and you for granted is hopeless, and is miles away from romantic.
30. A chauvinist is not romantic.
31. A smart ass is not romantic.
32. A man who thinks he's God's gift to women is never romantic.
33. Criticizing one another is not romantic.
34. Paying household bills is not romantic.
35. A man who tells a woman she spent too much at the store is not romantic.
36. Marriage is not at all romantic. But thankfully, some survive.

wanna know a secret?

shh...

i just realized that there are some secrets that are to be kept and buried. even though you want so much to tell someone, there are also so many things at stake that you would rather suffer in silence. but with the silence also comes guilt. that guilt would probably gnaw at my soul for the rest of my life.

but...

the clanking sound of bones in my closet got louder as i got confronted by my conscience again. i wanted to speak out.

yet...

i know i will be taking this secret to the grave. nothing good will come out of it. ever.
