Madalang lang akong maghayag ng opinyon on relationships
Talaga bang sakalan pag nasa isang relationship? Talaga bang bawal ang gender equality sa relationships? Kung ganun ang absolute rule, I'll stay single for the rest of my life (buti na lang, it's not absolute, I think).
Suffocation
Kailangan ba talagang magpaalam lagi kung saan ka pupunta? Kung ano ang ginagawa? I mean, puwede kang magpaalam, pero dapat bang pupunta ka lang ng mall ay itetext mo pa? Parang ang hirap nun ah.
May kaibigan akong babae, tina-taunt siya na 'hindi daw siya nagpapaalam sa ex niya nung sila pa.' Hirit naman niya, "Ba't ako magpapaalam?"
Sapul. Ganun din ang pananaw ko. Bakit kailangan magpaalam ng isa't-isa? Iyong mga nagti-text sa isa't-isa kung ano ang agenda nila, oks lang naman iyon. Tipong lambing lang ba. Pero hindi dapat gawing requirement (iyong tipong kapag walang paalam, cool off). Sakal ang tawag dun. Sakal. Sakal. Sakal. Ampanget.
Hindi ako manong principle. Sadyang napapangitan lang ako sa karamihang adolescent relationships. Ngayon alam ko na kung ano ang nais ipahiwatig ng Soc Sci teacher ko on maturity in relationships.
Gender Equality
"Siya ang lalaki. Siya dapat ang tumawag."
Isang malaking HUWAAAAAAAT ang pananaw ko dito. Siguro kaya madalas sagutin ng mga babae ang ibang lalaki ay para babyhin sila. Hindi ko nilalahat. May mga kilala ako na mature, tulad ng gf ng pinsan ko.
For example, yung gf ng pinsan ko at siya, equally loving sila sa isa't-isa. Walang lala-lalaki at walang baba-babae (take note: in terms of loving). Madalas tumawag ang gf niya dito. Ganun din ang pinsan ko sa kanila. Bura yung 'hello, ikaw yung lalaki, ikaw yung tumawag' na konsepto.
Iyong ibang mga babae, merong rule na 'text mo ko or else, di kita itetext.' Immature na prinsipyo iyon, sa palagay ko. Pangit na ang lalaki lang ang gumagawa ng move to make the relationship sweeter. Yaman din lang nagpapahabol ang babae at nagpapaka-prinsesa siya sa kanyang lalaki, hindi niya mahal ang bf niya nun.
Ang perpektong relasyon: ang lalaki, ginagawang prinsesa ang babae; ang babae naman, ginagawang prinsipe ang lalaki. In one word: equal, o kaya, balance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ang lakas ng loob kong mangaral, wala naman akong experience. Kanya-kanyang opinyon lang. Pero mahirap talagang maghanap ng mature na partner sa teenage years.
Magtatapos na ang Starstruck
Kaya penultimate post ko na ito about the show (yung last, kapag na-declare na ang Ultimate Starstruck Survivor).
These are the final four:
   
Tignan niyo yung bakla dun sa thurd picture. Ha. Baka siya ang manalo. Kahit na walang talent. Pero tang-*na talaga siya. Dapat talaga si Jen at Mark ang manalo. Heto, final picture na ipo-post ko about Starstruck:

Nasa showbiz na ang pinsan ko
Naaalala niyo pa ba si cousin Joharah? Iyong pinsan kong sumabak sa Sexbomb Showdown na nakaabot sa Grand Finals? Iyong natalo? Heto ang update:
Magka-cameo appearance siya sa Magpakailanman, dun sa buhay ng manager ng Sexbomb na nagngangalang Joyce. Inimbitahan din siya ni JOyce sa kanyang Dance School. Hmmm... Parang type siya ni Joyce.
Sana sumikat siya someday para meron akong bridge sa showbiz. >:)

Friendster Testimonials
One thing I love about Friendster: the Testimonial.
You can really see how some friends and so-called Friends treat or see you. You will see how important you are with the testimonials they give.
My testimonials can be divided into two groups: 1) What Lagsh can do, 2) What Lagsh is as a person.
It's sad that most of my friends dwell on my abilities and excellence and what-have-you, while the new ones that I met this College commented about my inner personality, and were the ones who had 'lambing' in their testimonials such as 'Miss ya' and 'God bless'.
And then if you view the testimonials they give on other unknown people-whom they are really not that close with-it's as if they're more important. They only leave me thinking: "Who am I to you??? I thought I'm your friend. I must be some useless friend of yours."
Hehe. What am I talking about? In the first place, I approved them.
But it's not the case. Bah, never mind.
320/320 Vision: The Single [Guy] And The Sea
No romantic would snob the sight of the sea under the stars with the moon as their mother ship. If not a romantic, that person is only a nature-lover.
It’s too sad. It took me an ocean to realize that I am alone and lonely. Witnessing these seated couples watch the far part of the sea together disturbed my thinking. What was I doing in that place? That place is a paradise for lovers, a torture chamber for singles. And I am one of those singles.
Funny how the sea has no partner in life. Maybe that is what nature-lovers are born to do-to fill in the other half of the heart of the sea. Hey, I’m a nature-lover, and the sea is part of Nature herself. From then on, the sea and I were officially in love. Let it be told that that starry and pristine night was the night that both of us were committed to love each other.
So I’m no longer a single.
I sat on the sand beside a short wooden pole and played with a stone in my hand. My eyes were arrested by the lighthouse. It was the first time I saw one, thanks to my being stuck in a metropolis since childhood.
I was so amused by the sea. To think that I almost drowned myself to death when I was seven years old, I came to a realization that I had overcome my fear of massive bodies of waters.
That moment in my life I couldn’t forget. Those twenty seconds when giant salty waves were about to turn my entity into a cold carcass bloated with seawater are just too bitterly precious to forget. But right that tranquil evening, I was already engaged in love with the sea, who had intentions of killing me before.
A couple passed by my vision. They were telling stories to each other happily while holding each other’s hands. Slightly tired of walking while speaking, they came to a halt. They were laughing. They were happy, because they have each other. So why was I unhappy? I had the sea.
Heh. Who was I fooling? What comedy sitcom would feature a man linked with the ocean? A pathetic one, perhaps.
The guy picked up a stone. “Look at this,” he told his girl.
Aimed at the waters, he charged his right arm and threw the sandy stone, not minding the vocal curiosity of his partner. The stone landed in the water 8 feet away from them, bounced forward, skipped some more, bounced once more, and finally sank. The lady stood up in amazement and the guy taught her patiently how to do that skipping-stone-in-the-water thing.
Hey, I know how to do that, too. For the record, the maximum skip I was able to make a stone do is five. Too bad I have no one to tell that to, and no one to even be my student in doing it.
The lovers in front of me were taunting me involuntarily, but I was too emotionally lashed to become enraged. All I could do was sigh. I used to find these scenes corny and full of flirtation. I never thought I would want them so badly to happen to me.
I have so much love to give, but no one to receive this love that I have. I wish to have someone whom I can talk to about anything sincerely-about my dreams of ejecting Jay-R out of the throne of RnB, about my childhood weirdness and near-death experience by the sea, about my first time of seeing a real lighthouse, or even about galaxies, zodiac signs, reality TV, and much other nonsense.
If only a shooting star fell that night, I would have wished for someone whose birth date, address, cellphone number, etc. I will memorize, and who would do the same for me.
Curse the sea! During my middle childhood, it almost cut my life span short; in my teenage years, it cast some spell on me, pushing my loneliness to a further extent. Someday, I will have my revenge.
When I finally find that perfect someone, I will bring her to the same beach. She and I will be strolling together by the cheerless sea. Let’s see how it reacts when I tell the waves, “You’re forever single; thanks anyway for being such a romantic site, even though you tried to kill me one sunny afternoon and tortured my emotions one starry night."
Why am I Ken Zhu??? I'm more of a Vic Zhou!
You are Ken!
Which F4 Member are You?

A voter but do not know whom to vote? Kung gayon, panoorin ang BioData, kung saan tinatalakay isa-isa ang mga Vice/Presidentiables.
Mapapanood every Tuesday sa GMA 7, pagkatapos ng Saksi. (Kapalit siya ng The Probe Team.)
Mahilig ka ba sa Pinoy urban legend? Nasusuka ka na ba sa Kakabakaba adventures dahil nagmumukha siyang walang-kuwentang comedy? Kung gayon, panoorin ang Erik Matti's Kagat Ng Dilim. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PINOY HORROR/URBAN LEGEND TV SHOWS! Watchable sa PBO every Saturday, 4 pm.
Miss ko na nga ang Lihim Ng Gabi, Okatokat at Sa Dako Pa Roon... Huhuhu... Nasaan na nga ba ang horror/urban legend ngayon sa TV???
Speaking of horror, ano kaya itong natagpuan na ito sa dagat ng Visayas?
Coke ko 'to.
I knew it. Sabi ko na nga ba, sisikat din ang commercial ng Coca-Cola. At pati ako naki-memorize-memorize na rin sa lyrics nung Coke Beat... at hindi lang yun! Pati yung hand movements.
Lyrics:
Ito ang beat, sabay-sabay
Ito ang beat, bawal sablay
Pabilis ng pabilis
Huwag magmi-miss, huwag magmi-miss
Gets mo na?
Gets ko na
Aahh... Coca-Cola!
Nalilito, nalilito
Nahihilo, nahihilo
Coke ko 'to
Coke ko 'to
Coke ko 'to!
Maraming tao ang gumagawa nito sa UP Pampanga. Naglalaro sila. Kung maglalaro kami ng classmate kong si Terence, magmumukha kaming 'conventional.' That's why gumawa kami ng Kapampangan version nung Coke Beat, para kapag naglalaro kami, hindi masasabi ng mga tao na, "Oh my... here goes another one."
Ini ing beat, sabe-sabe
Ini ing beat, bawal sable
Pabilis neng pabilis
Ali mag-miss, ali mag-miss
Gets mu ne?
Gets ku ne
Aahh... Coca-Cola
Malilitu, malilitu
Malililyu, malililyu
Coke key'ni
Coke key'ni
Coke key'ni!
O di ba? Para hindi kami nakiki-join.
How Starstruck should conclude:
   These two here on your left, Mark and Jen, should be the ultimate survivors.
While this little one here on your right, should be sent to Moscow, Russia for animal testing on the effects nuclear waste. Or perhaps, be sent to Mars for extreterrestrial life exploration. Or perchance, be sent to Sahara desert in a new Survivor Series. Or or or or, whatever! Anything but on showbiz. >.<
Why? Because: 1) he dances like an engot; 2) he can't sing; 3) he can't act; 4) he's just an F4-wannabe; 5) he deceives people with his ear-stretch smile; 6) he imitated my red hairdye; 7) and many others.
Now, these two shouldn't have been eliminated. They should be the one in the positions of Yasmien and Rainier-who.

UP Pampanga things and Peyups
Beforehand, this blog entry is going to be in English. I miss writing in English kasi eh (oops).
I was hanging out in the waiting shed in UP Pampanga when a friend approached me. Sheryll asked me if I am the lagsh who writes in Peyups.com.
When I asked why, Sheryll answered, "Pinapatanong kasi nung kaklase ko; ang galing daw kasi. Feeling niya ikaw yun."
I confirmed. Now, I can die happy. Errr... okay, not yet. Just read the next.
The birth of a new goal for myself
I am currently a freshie in UP Pampanga at the age of 16. I've made up my mind. Before I graduate, I have to be able to meet my current objective. Before I turn 20, I have to learn how to sing-RnB or acoustic style.
 I want to have either the voice of (especially) Karl Villuga of Akafellas, Duncan of South Border, Jason Mraz, Lee of Blue, Mahlik, or Jay-R.
 Speaking of Jay-R, he is my main target. I have to snatch the crown of RnB from his head before graduating. Besides, I can dance a hell lot better than him. That's why I have to learn how to sing, fast. That's why this website is heavensent for me.
But I have a problem. Jay-R knows some break dancing. Damn this guy. He's making my dream harder to reach.
(Don't you just notice the commonality of the hairstyle of these RnB people?)
Buy new clothes and trash the old ones
I used to be an obese guy but starting third year high school, I began to shrink. Right now, I'm not obese anymore and it's even hard to categorize me with those "fat" people. But I'm still shrinking. How do I? I will discuss that when I achieve another goal of mine besides from kicking Jay-R out of the throne of RnB: get a beach body. >=)
I have these "obese clothes" in my cabinet and nobody wears them but the hangers. I also have "semi-obese clothes" that I officially won't wear anymore starting today.
I'm keeping these semi-muscle shirts and polo shirts. They're great, and I plan to buy more. They make me look better, hehe.

320/320 Vision: Ambisyoso (Ground Level)
Balang araw, titino din tayong mga Pilipino. Aangat din tayo mula sa tatak na Third World. Iyon nga lang, medyo matagal-tagal pa iyon. Pero isa lang ang panigurado ko sa hinaharap: balang araw, sisikat din ako.
Idol na idol ko ang mga taong kasing-edad ko na nakikita ko sa TV. Kaya naman lagi akong nakatutok sa telebisyon para pag-aralan kung ano ang dapat kong ikilos kapag nandoon na ako sa hilera ng mga bituin at nagbibituin-bituinan. Mahirap na ang magmukhang baguhan sa showbiz, parang sa pulitika. Teka, redundant iyon ah-showbiz, pulitika.
Pero tiyak yata na maganda ang buhay-celebrity. Saka na ang isyu ng pulitika; pang-gurang na artista lang iyon.
Kapag sa mga shopping mall, walang pumapansin sa akin. Balang araw, pagkakaguluhan din ako ng todo kahit pa nagwi-window shopping lang ako. Tignan niyo man, tatakbo ang mga tao papalapit sa akin at hihingi ng aking signature. May mga jologs na babaeng tatalon-talon at titili-tili kapag nasagap ako ng kanilang mga paningin. Ako ang magiging usap-usapin sa kabahayan ng mga batang makakaenkuwentro sa akin. Ipagmamalaki nila na nakita nila ang isang celebrity ng malapitan.
Kung tutuusin, puwede kong gawing hobby iyon. Every weekend, iba’t-ibang mga mall ang aking bibisitahin para magkunwaring nagsha-shopping, pero ang tunay kong pakay ay para pagkaguluhan.
Hindi naman malaki ang ambisyon ko. Bata pa ako pangarap ko na talaga ‘to.
Kung dati, walang nakikinig sa mga sinasabi ko, balang araw, aabangan ng buong Pilipinas ang mga opinyon ko. Magiging under-surveillance ang bibig ko sa mga sasabihin ko-mapa-tungkol pa iyan sa paglahok ni FPJ sa pagkapangulo o sa kakapanindig-balahibong Pop Lola ni Madam Armida. Aalamin din ng mga tao ang basic info tungkol sa akin: kung ano ang height ko, weight, favorite color, favorite TV show, educational attainment (UP graduate!), talents, ambition, family background, motto in life, first crush, definition of love, atbp.
Puputaktihin ng matsismis na media ang love life ko at balang araw, hihilingin ng mga paslit na cancer patients na may taning ang mga malas na buhay ang makasama ako, ang kanilang idol, ng isang araw. Kakantahan ko sila ng isang awitin at pagkatapos, makikita niyo na lang sa TV na may gumaling na pasiyente dahil sa aking pagbisita.
Balang araw, makikita ninyong lahat ang mukha ko sa daan. Ako na ang gagawing model ng Smart Buddy Load o ng P50 Globe Automax Load (diaka maawatan!). Subway, MRT station, sari-sari store, night club, high way-kahit saan pa iyan. Si Heart nga pati sa mga liblib na lugar nakikita ang mukha na may hawak na cellphone. Madalas namang gawing endorsers ang mga artista eh.
Magkakaroon na rin ng matinding silbi ang cellphone ko. Kung dati, tuwing may occasions lang nakakatanggap ng greetings ang phone ko, dudumugin ng fan mails ang inbox ko balang araw.
May mga simpleng ‘huuuy!!! i’m pedra, ur #1 fan from sultan kudarat! aabangan ko album at movie mo... gud pm!’
Meron ding hardcore na censored, pang-stalker, matsismis na ‘uy idol, totoo bang dine-date mo si Jennylyn Mercado ng Starstruck? nabasa ko sa dyaryo e,’ at kung anu-ano pa. Dadami din sigurado ang gustong makipagkaibigan sa akin.
Speaking of date, balang araw, ili-link din ako sa kung sinu-sinong mga teen stars, starlets, at matrona; hindi tulad ngayon na walang sinuman and gustong ma-link sa akin. Hindi na maaalis iyan eh. Kasama na sa showbiz. Okey lang iyan. Puwedeng gawing raket para mas lalong sumikat. Atsaka iyong mga kakornihan na ipapagawa sa mga talk shows at noontime variety shows, oks lang na gawin. Madali yatang magpakaplastik sa TV. Iyong kunwari enjoy na enjoy ka, pero sa kaloob-looban mo, gusto mo ng umalis.
Tapos, kung dati, naospital ako, walang may pakialam, balang araw, ilalagay pa sa balita ang nangyari sa akin. Mababasa sa diyaryo ‘Artista, naputukan noong New Year’ at hihintayin ang aking paggaling. At kung umabot pa sa kasamaang palad, balang araw, ila-live telecast pa pati ang aking burol at libing. Iiyakan ako ng aking mga fans at gagawan pa ng samut-saring goodbye Lagsh specials at exclusives sa TV na tiyak kong magiging madrama.
Ito lahat, mangyayari sa hinaharap. Mag-iiwan ako ng tatak sa isipan ng mga Pilipino. Hintayin niyo lang ako sa inyong mga radyo at TV. Balang araw, ako na ang maririnig at makikita ninyo diyan. Balang araw.

Sexbomb Sexbomb Sexbomb
Nais kong i-congratulate ang pinsan ko na nanalo sa Sexbomb Showdown noong bisperas ng New Year sa Eat Bulaga. Sasabak muli siya sa isang showdown sa Sabado. Ipagdasal po natin ang kanyang kaluluwa na sana siya ay magtagumpay.
I can't believe it. Last kong nakita si Johara ay noong bata pa kami't naglalaro ng taguan or sak-bang sa matandang bahay namin sa Porac (in fact, hindi ko na alam hitsura niya). Tapos, bigla mo na lang makikitang nag-i-ispageting pababa, pababa ng pababa, ispageting pataas, pataas ng pataas sa TV!
Buhay nga naman o. What's next? Baka bigla ko na lang makita iyong isa ko pang pinsan na vocalist na siya ng isang rock band; o kaya makita ko iyong isa kong auntie na nagho-host na ng sariling talk show; o kaya kolumnista na sa diyaryo ang isa kong father-side cousin; o kaya makita na lang natin ang sarili ko sa MTV... joke!
Sana talaga masama sa Sexbomb si cousin Johara. Tapos sumikat siya ng todo. Tapos ifi-feature ang buhay niya sa Magpakailanman. Tapos mai-involve ako sa story (siyempre i-reenact ang childhood days). Tapos iinterviewhin ako nung researchers. Tapos madi-discover ako ng GMA 7... joke ulit!
Basta. Sana talaga manalo siya at masama sa Sexbomb. I'm proud. Feeling ko tuloy Sexbomb na rin ako... JOKE! Hehehe. (Ano ba 'to.)
Speaking of Sexbomb, ang Sexbomb ay sa GMA 7. In relation with that, nais ko lang ipaalam na hooked ako dito sa Koreanovelang In Love With Angel. Hihi. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Pero da hell. Atsaka napapanood ko na muli ang Ghost Fighter. Astig talaga. Walang kamatayang peyborit. Sana lang ibalik na ang Pokémon at ipakita yung episodes na hindi pa naipapalabas. Iyong sa Orange Islands na. Kasi naman, napanood ko na iyong Pokémon 4ever: Voice Of The Forest. Super-advance na at bago na ang mga creatures.
Oo nga pala, sumpain si Bayani Agbayani sa pag-aangkin ng move na otso-otso. Hoooy... Sexbomb ang nauna dun. Ikaw lang ang nagbinyag ng pangalan at nagpa-todo pasikat.
Kuwitis Attack
Hindi ko naman talaga hate and New Year; ang ayaw ko lang ay iyong way kung paano ito sine-celebrate ng karamihan: the way of the paputok.
Nahihiya akong umamin, pero takot ako sa paputok.
Noong kabataan ko (meaning, elementary years), firecrackers lang naman ang habol ko sa Bagong Taon. Pero since marinig ko ang story, tuwing New Year ay kung puwede mas gusto kong sa loob na lang ako ng haybol ("bahay," sa mga hindi nakakaalam).
Ano ba ang controversial na story na iyon? Hindi naman siya masyadong controversial. Ganito kasi iyon. May isang tao, nagsindi ng kuwitis. Iyong kuwitis, nag-take off. Hindi pumunta sa taas; nag-iba ng ruta. Instead, dumapo sa isang tao. Oo, sa mata nung tao at doon pumutok. Happy New Year, di ba?
Simula noon nagka-phobia na ako sa New Year. Kaya noong New Year kahapon, masyado akong cautious at tumitingin sa sky para sa senyas ng isang ligaw na kuwitis na maaaring makasira ng aking buhay forevermore.
Pati iyong mga malalakas na paputok na buong subdivision ay nayayanig (hindi ko alam ang tawag). Iyong "BOOOOOOOOOOOM" na pati buhok mo tatayo sa sobrang lakas. Pati ermatz at auntie ko napapamura everytime may nagpapaputok ng ganun.
Duwag ba?
Speaking of kuwitis, may isang kuwitis ring naligaw at dumapo sa bubong ng isang building sa Lucena City (nasa balita ito). Nasunog ang gusali at na-trap ang mga katauhan sa loob. Naihaw ang labing-walong katao. Patay!
Ayoko talaga sa kuwitis. =(
Kahapon pala nagluto kami ng carbonara, kaming buong family (Mom, Dad, ako, at si kuya). First time naming gumawa, kaya iyon. Lasang alak ang carbonara sauce. Nasobrahan ng white wine.
Wish upon the green candles
Noong New Year nagsindi kami ng 12 green candles at nag-wish ng tig-iisang wish per kandila. 12 yung kandila at 4 kami sa pamilya, so tigta-tatlong wish kami.
Heto ni-wish ko.
1) Sana guminhawa ang buhay namin; kung puwede iyong magara.
2) Sana mangyari iyong gusto kong mangyari sa sarili ko (secret). Ito iyong bagay na sinabi ko sa previous entry, yung gusto kong karirin. >:)
3) Sana hindi manalo si FPJ at si Rainier Castillo sa kanilang linalahukang field.
Proweba na baliw ang Matematika
Naaalala ko na may ni-post akong thread sa Peyups na nagtatanong kung bakit 1 + 1 = 2. May sumagot na nakuha niya sa isang website (Doctor Rob ang ngalan nung source). Heto daw:
The proof starts from the Peano Postulates, which define the natural numbers N. N is the smallest set satisfying these postulates:
P1. 1 is in N.
P2. If x is in N, then its "successor" x' is in N.
P3. There is no x such that x' = 1.
P4. If x isn't 1, then there is a y in N such that y' = x.
P5. If S is a subset of N, 1 is in S, and the implication (x in S => x' in S) holds, then S = N.
Then you have to define addition recursively:
Def: Let a and b be in N. If b = 1, then define a + b = a' (using P1 and P2). If b isn't 1, then let c' = b, with c in N
(using P4), and define a + b = (a + c)'.
Then you have to define 2:
Def: 2 = 1'
2 is in N by P1, P2, and the definition of 2.
Theorem: 1 + 1 = 2
Proof: Use the first part of the definition of + with a = b = 1. Then 1 + 1 = 1' = 2 Q.E.D.
Note: There is an alternate formulation of the Peano Postulates which replaces 1 with 0 in P1, P3, P4, and P5. Then you have to change the definition of addition to this:
Def: Let a and b be in N. If b = 0, then define a + b = a. If b isn't 0, then let c' = b, with c in N, and define a + b = (a + c)'.
You also have to define 1 = 0', and 2 = 1'. Then the proof of the Theorem above is a little different:
Proof: Use the second part of the definition of + first:
1 + 1 = (1 + 0)'
Now use the first part of the definition of + on the sum in parentheses: 1 + 1 = (1)' = 1' = 2 Q.E.D.

STARt the year
Napanood ba ninyo ang Starstruck last week? Yung Fright Night? Ba't ganon? Ang nasama sa unfortunate three ay ang 3 kong bets: Christian, Jennylyn, Mark.
Na-disappoint ako kasi ayokong may matanggal sa kahit sino sa tatlong iyon. Pero kinailangan, kaya naman na-vote out si Christian. Bwisit na masa kasi! Rainier na Rainier. Kaya naman di umaasenso ang Pilipinas eh...
   Kaya ngayon, Mark and Jennylyn na lang.
Kung matanggal man si Jennylyn in favor of Yasmien or Nadine, okey pa, kasi may talent din naman ang dalawa pang babae dun. Pero kung sa lalaki, si Dion at Rainier ang matira, aba'y punyeta. Star Circle Quest na ang papanoorin ko.
Nang tinanong ang mga nagpapa-autograph kay Rainier kung bakit siya ang gusto nila, puro sinasabi guwapo, cute, mukhang F4. *roll eyes*
Oo nga pala, sabi ng tunay na Katrina sa Friendster:

It's Da Year Of The Monkey
Ayuz. Bagay na bagay para kay FPJ.
Year ko rin kaya?
Feeling ko dapat na akong magbago. Basta. Hindi naman sa sinasakto ko sa New Year, pero parang atat na atat akong ayusin ang buhay. Not that it's magulo, pero gusto kong may mangyaring bago.
Kung matutuloy ang paglipad namin papuntang USA, puwede na rin iyon. Atlis may nagbago. Pero kung hindi, may balak akong gawin, at hindi ko sasabihin sa inyo.
'Nga pala, speaking of US, nangalkal ako ng photo album. Nakita ko iyong pictures namin sa Disneyland sa LA. I think that was 8 or 9 years ago.

Haha. Ang taba ko noon. I hate to admit it, pero mas maganda talaga ang buhay doon. Though gusto kong mag-stay dito sa Pinas. Kailangan ko lang ng turning point sa buhay kasi madali akong magsawa ngayon. Aral, Kain, Tulog, TV, Internet, Lakwatsa sa Angeles, and vice versa.
Iba Akong Mangarir
Kapag may gusto akong karirin (i-career), talagang kinakarir ko. Gaya na lang noon. Ginusto kong matutong magsulat, kaya kinarir ko. After self-practice, kaboom. Naging career ko nga ang writing.
Self-taught modern dancer din ako. Kinarir ko one time kasi "cool" para sa akin noon ang The Maneuvers at Street Boys. At ngayon, masasabi kong seasonal career ko rin ang street dance.
Pati pagdodrowing. Kinarir ko rin dati, kaya naman meron akong abilidad sa pagguhit at paggawa ng comics (although hindi ko lang alam ngayon kasi after kong makarir ang anime drawing, tinalikuran ko rin ito due to some reasons).
Pati naman web-designing. Ginusto kong magkawebsite kaya nag-aral ako ng HTML. Ngayon, heto ako ngayon, pang-limang website na, pangatlong version.
Kung may masasabi ako about myself, masasabi ko na kapag pinagtuunan ko ng pansin (in other words, kapag kinarir ko), I master it myself.
So ano'ng gusto kong palabasin? Na magaling ako? Hindi. Ang gusto kong sabihin ay...
May bago na naman akong gustong karirin.
Gulp. God help me. Alam ko na kasi iyong feeling na parang sinasabi ng puso mo, "Kaya mo iyan. Karirin mo na, dali." Ambisyoso talaga ako... Tsk, tsk. (Mind you, hindi pag-aartista ang ibig kong sabihin.)
Gusto kong magsulat muli
Gusto kong balikan ang mga araw noong gumagawa ako ng sarili kong short stories at novels. Parang gagawin ko yata iyon ulit this year, lalo na't mas marami na akong alam about real life.
Parang na-miss ko noong ginagawa ko ang fictional na Childhood Sweetheart III. Medyo corny ang story. Pano naman kasi minadali ko at on the spot kong ginawa. Pero provided na pag-isipan ko ng mabuti ang plot, I believe I can do better.
Naks.
