lintek_na_buhay_'to_oo

mag-a-alas nuwebe na ng gabi at nandito pa ako sa opisina dahil may kailangan akong tapusin within the week. gustuhin ko mang umuwi, hindi pa puwede dahil tambak pa ito. kaya in the meantime, sasagutan/papatulan ko itong questionnaire na ito, dahil medyo turat na ang utak ko. kasalanan mo 'to, abet, pero salamat.

Here's the rule: Remove 1 question from the list below, and add your own personal question to make it a total of 20 questions.

Tag 8 people, list them out at the end of this post. Notify them in their chat box that he/she has been tagged. Whoever does the tag will have blessings from all.

1. At what age do/did you wish to marry?
    - before the age of 35, i hope.

2. If you could have any musician's talent/s, whose talent/s would that/those be? (personal question ko, kung medyo magulo, ito ang Tagalog wording: Kung puwedeng mapasaiyo ang talento ng kahit na sinong musikero/mga musikero, kaninong talento/mga talento iyon kung sakali?)
    - dave matthews' guitar playing, thom yorke's lyrical genius, and lourd de veyra's writing prowess

3. If you can have a superpower, what would it be?
    - i'd like to be able to read minds, even if it could have disastrous implications. pero lalagyan ko ng weakness: tuwing mapapa-utot ako, medyo hindi gagana masyado yung superpower na yun. para naman fair, di ba?

4. If you can travel anywhere in the world, where would you want to go?
    - sa Amsterdam, para ma-experience ko ang Cannabis Cup - tuwing November yata yun.

5. Which trait of the opposite sex that you hate the most?
    - dishonesty, period.

6. When you get sad, what do you do?
    - i eat, sleep, or drink alcohol, whichever comes first.

7. What are you afraid to lose the most?
    - i am afraid of losing whatever is left of my sense of optimism. siguro kapag nawala pa yun, wala nang kuwenta ang buhay.

8. If you win $1 million, what would you do with the money?
    - i'd probably buy my own house, somewhere with a great peaceful view. or kapag tinopak ako, maglalakbay sa kung saan-saang lugar sa Pilipinas, and then sa buong mundo.

9. What do you love the most last year (2007)?
    - 'namo. buwiset. wala!

10. What is your New Year's resolution?
    - none. i'm not bound by that kind of crap.

11. What is the moment you regret most?
    - when i wasn't able to give more time to a loved one because of things i had to do, i.e., work

12. What type of person do you hate the most?
    - hypocrites and self-righteous people. we are all dirty, and that's the truth.

13. What is your greatest asset?
    - my million dollar stretch marks as well as my 'exclamation point scar' from surgery

14. If you had one wish, what would you wish for?
    - to know the truth each and every time, even if it hurts like hell.

15. How did you celebrate the New Year?
    - i ate dinner with the family.

16. Name the one body part your partner or girlfriend tells you she adores.
    - it's definitely not my face. maybe it's my tummy. i don't really know.

17. It's 2008. What are you looking forward to this year?
    - i hope i find her. but if that will not happen, i'll just wait.

18. Anything in your life that you wish weren't so awful?
    - my lovelife is awful. if i had it my way, i wish that i'd have that happy ending just like in the movies. the problem is, this ain't the movies.

19. What's the shallowest thing you intend to do this year?
    - i've already lost my goatee to a ridiculous bet. i'd probably shave some other part of my body - siyempre hindi ko na sasabihin sa iyo kung saan.

20.  Where will you be 10 years from now?
    - hopefully, i would be happily married and have a couple of children by then.

Tunod ad Hungduan Tour Feb 9-10, 2008 (mic)




Here are some pictures of the Tunod ad Hungduan tour held last February 9-10, 2008, in Hapao, Hungduan, Ifugao. This was organized by the Save the Ifugao Terraces Movement (SITMo), in partnership with the Hungduan local government unit, and the Hapao Barangay local government unit and the people of the community.

I'm not a photographer in any way, so these are just the result of my trigger-happy tendencies when my batteries still haven't run out. some of the pictures were taken by Mae, Lynn, and Charles of SITMo. I'll be posting some more albums featuring photos taken by my friends/officemates.

Sulit talaga ang experience na ito. Maraming salamat sa SITMo, LGU ng Hungduan, LGU ng Barangay Hapao, at higit sa lahat, sa mga mamamayan ng Ifugao.

quickie

actually, i meant to post something about my recently-concluded adventure in Hungduan, Ifugao, but i guess it would take me quite some time to recollect my thoughts, so here goes a quickie post. this song has been playing in my head for about more than a week already, and i wanted to post its lyrics as a reflection of what's going on inside my head for quite a while. yes, they aren't my words, but i feel quite similar to what this song is saying - as in swak na swak, in the vernacular. this song also reminds me how lousy i play guitar, but more importantly, is a shout out to someone out there. no bullshit, dear reader. here it is. 

 

Crush
Dave Matthews Band


Crazy, how it feels tonight
Crazy, how you make it all alright, love
You crush me with the things you do
I do for you anything too
Sitting, smoking, feeling high
In this moment it feels so right

Lovely lady
I am at your feet
God I want you so badly
I wonder this:
Could tomorrow be
So wondrous as you there sleeping?
Let's go drive 'til morning comes
Watch the sunrise
To fill our souls up
Drink some wine 'til we get drunk

It's crazy, I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down?
Is this real or am I dreaming?

Lovely lady
Let me drink you, please
I won't spill a drop, I promise you
Lying under this spell you cast on me
Each moment
The more I love you
Crush me
Come on

It's crazy, I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down?
Is it real or am I dreaming?

Lovely lady I will treat you sweetly
Adore you
I mean
You crush me
It's times like these
When my faith I feel
And I know
How I love you
Come on
Lady

It's crazy I'm thinking
Just as long as you're around
And here I'll be dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down?
To each other we'll be facing
By love we'll beat back the pain
we've found
You know
I mean to tell you all the things I've been thinking deep inside
My friend
With each moment, the more I love you

Crush me
Come on
Lady
So much you have given, love
That I would give you back
Again and again
Meaning I'll hold you
And please
Let me always

Zlad - Elektronik Supersonik.flv




this is the craziest music video i have seen this week. muntik na niyang ma-dislodge ang Lapid 3:16 sa number 1 spot sa aking kamalayan ng kagaguhan at kaululan. take note, dear viewer, muntik lang. andito na rin ang lyrics, kung gusto mong sabayan ang kaululang ito. enjoy.

Elektronik Supersonik
Zlad!

Hey baby wake up from your a sleep
We have arrived onto the future
And the whole world is become....

Elektronik, Supersonik,
Supersonik, Elektronik,

Hey baby ride with me away,
We doesn't have much time,
My blue jeans is tight,
So onto my love rocket, climb,
Inside tank of fuel is not fuel, but love,
Above us, there is nothing above,
but the stars, above

All systems gone!
Prepare for downcount!

5....4....3....1! Off blast!


Fly away, my space rocket,
You no need put money in my pocket
The door is closed I just lock it,
(Ha) I put my (Ha) port plug in your socket (Ha Ha Ha)

The sonic sky is bright like fire
You and me gets higher and higher
Cut communication wire
Only thing can stop us is flat tire

Ha, Ha, Ha Ha Ha Ha

Hey love crusaider
I want to be your space invader
For you I will decend the deepest moon crater
I is more stronger than Darth Vapour
Obey me I is your new dictator
For you is Venus, I am Mars
With you I is more richer than all the tzars
Make a wishes on a shooting stars
Then for you I will play on my cosmic guitars!

Ladies and Gentlemen
Fasten your beltseats
We has commenced our decent
I trust you enjoy this flight
As much as you enjoy this accent

Now back on Earth its time for downsplash
Into sea of eternal glory my spaceship crash
People have arrived for cheer me from near and far
And as I float I open door and shout
"I am worlds biggest, washed-up superstar!"

(Supersonik, Elektronik)

As for sure as the sun rises in the west
Of all the seas and all the boats I am the bestest
come, let me put ring of Jupiter on your finger
Then like a smell around you I will forever linger
Ok, is time for end, no more will I sang
Let me take you back in time,
I want for you to experience big bang

Long live space race
Long live, Molvania

WWF WrestleMania X-Seven - The Rock vs. Stone Cold (My Way).wmv




a video build-up of the WWF Title Match at WrestleMania X-Seven between The Texas Rattlesnake and The Great One, featuring highlights from the Royal Rumble, No Way Out, SmackDown!, and RAW is WAR, with the background song being "My Way" from Limp Bizkit's "Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog-Flavored Water" album. this, in my opinion is probably the most famous rivalry during the Attitude Era. Get ready...

95-24946

College?
college of social sciences and philosophy

Ano ang course mo?
bachelor of arts in sociology

Nag-shift ka ba o na-kick out?
neither. yun ang pinilahan kong kurso dahil waitlisted ako sa Psychology. at saka magaganda yung chicas na nakapila, kaya doon na ako pumila.

Saan ka kumuha ng UPCAT? (Where did you take your entrance examination?)
isa sa mga pavilion, sa biology yata.

Favorite GE (General Education) classes?
Math 1 kasi dun ko unang nasilayan si M.
PI 100 kasi magaling si prof. Melania Abad, at relevant ang mga itinuturo niya.
STS kasi nakakatawa yung report namin, pero sakto lang. at saka dun lang ako naka-witness ng group report na ang presentation e beauty pageant, tapos may criteria for judging pero ang pagpili sa winner e idinaan sa raffle - putaragis na 'yan, natuyo ang utak ko!

Favorite PE?
Basketball. nung mga araw na natsa-tsambahan ko pang gawin ang UTEP Two-Step Killer Crossover ni Tim Hardaway sabay one-handed teardrop shot sa kalaban. pero sa taba ko ngayon, hindi ko na kayang gawin yun. 

Saan ka nag-aabang ng hot girls sa UP?
marami sa AS Lobby, Faculty Center at sa Math Building. pero minsan, pakiramdam ko, parang ako ang inaabangan nilang lahat.

Favorite Professors?
Prof. Melania Abad, Prof. Walden Bello, Fr. Salvador Orara, Dr. Manuel Bonifacio, Prof. Clemen Aquino

Least favorite GE (General Education) class?
Soc Sci 2 kasi maganda sana siya pero hindi marunong magturo yung teachers na napili ko.

Did you sign up for Saturday classes?
Yes. PI 100, pero worth it.

Nakapag-field trip ka ba?
Anthro 187 (Sex and Culture) sa Banahaw. kaklase ko sina Heidi at Pia kaya masaya.

UP KMS (Kalipunan ng mga Mag-aaral ng Sosyolohiya)

Saan ka tumatambay palagi?
1st 2-3 years, AS lang, usually sa 4th floor dun sa may mesang semento. Later years, sa tambayan na ng KMS.

Dorm, Boarding house, o Bahay?
Bahay po.

Kung walang UPCAT test at malaya kang nakapili ng kurso mo sa UP, ano yun?
undecided talaga ako pag-apak ng college, pero inambisyon ko ring mag-Physical Therapy, but fate had other plans, i guess.

Sino ang pinaka-una mong nakilala sa UP?
Si Cromwell Wong. hindi ko na alam kung nasaan siya. idol ko yun sa gitara, parang sina francis reyes at manuel legarda na pinagsama ang galing.

First play na napanood mo sa UP?
hindi ako cultured e. wala.

Saan ka madalas mag-lunch?
CASAA, Beach House at LB (Lutong Bahay) nung 1st-2nd years. for the later years, honorable mentions are: Momarc's sa Krus Na Ligas, Aling Alice's Kambingan sa KNL din, Mang Jimmy's sa Balara at sa Gulod (nung P14 pa lang ang malaking Red Horse at sagana pa sila sa makakapal na inihaw na liempo)

Name the 5 most conyo orgs in UP.
i don't really care about them.

Name 5 of the coolest orgs/frats/soro in UP.
UP-KMS, siyempre. never runs out of humor. at saka UP Quill - brilliant writers, poets, artists and musicians.

May frat/soro bang nag-recruit sa yo?
Meron pero di na ako tumuloy.

Masaya ba sa UP?
Oo, inaamin ko! i experienced the whole spectrum of emotions, hindi lang yung masaya.

Pinangarap mo rin bang mag-laude nung freshman ka?
never thought about it much.

Kanino ka pinaka-patay sa UP?
kras, si MP (all-time kras nung estudyante ako - magulo ba?)
kay SC, na-develop, nagkatotoo pero di nagtagal. kay PP nagka-gusto, kahit alam kong imposible. kay JB, dahil mukha siyang diyosa, diyosang marunong gumamit ng balisong.

Kung di ka UP, anong school ka?
baka UST.

***EXTENDED VERSION***

First Year Block
N-13

Very First Subject
Math 1 - nabilang ko kaagad na sampu lang kaming lalake out of 40+ students, kaya napansin ko din na mas maraming kababaihan sa block namin. sige, tumawa ka diyan para mabigwasan kitang hinayupak ka. =)

Favorite Elective
Anthro 187 - Sex and Culture, pare. maraming nakikipag-patayan para lang maka-enroll sa subject na ito.
Soc Sci 105 - Gender Issues in Philippine Society - dahil kahit mga panatiko kami ng Palibhasa Lalake nina Jude, Ajel, at Eric, e hindi ito pinersonal ni Prof. Dungo. at saka relevant course siya, lalaki ka man o babae.
Psych 101 - required sa aming kurso ito, pero mention ko na rin dahil nag-enjoy ako sa mga writing activities namin.

Pinaka-terror na teacher
Father Salvador Orara, SJ - ang paring kung makasambit ng salitang "Putang-ina" e parang nagluluto ng chicharon - dahil sobrang lutong. pero okay lang, dahil na-realize ko na kahit siya ang isa sa mga pinaka-kupal na nakilala ko, e nirerespeto ko pala siya.

Most Favorite Major Subject
Socio 114 - Philippine Society
Socio 101 - Introductory Sociology
Socio 140 - Social Psychology

Least Favorite Major Subject
Socio 125 - Sociology of Religion

Favorite UP Tradition
UP Fair - dahil lahat na ay nasa Sunken Garden, pagkain, alak, sigarilyo, ganja, magagandang dilag, banda, videoke, t-shirts, CDs, abubot, at kung masuwerte ka, pati si Jovit Moya makikita mo.

UP Tradition(s) Missed
Oblation Run, dahil meron na ako nung pinapakita nila, bakit pa ako titingin?

Most Memorable Thing You Did Just For Bonus Points
hindi ko matandaan kung gumawa nga ako ng kahit na ano for bonus points. basta ang sabi sa akin ng prof ko: "Mamili ka, removals, o remove all?"

Pinakamasarap na Pisbol
I agree with Abet, sa tapat ng DMST complex. Special mention yung super sarap na Kikiam nila at sawsawan. Siyempre masarap kapag may kasamang BJ (buko juice, bastos!)

Pinakamurang pamasahe ng IKOT
P1.25

Pinakapayborit na Merienda
Isaw ni Mang Larry sa tapat ng Kalayaan Dorm, Kamote Cue ni Manang sa FC Walk, Kikiam sa tapat ng DMST, at saka yung turon sa CASAA, yung may langka at keso.

Umulan ba nung University Graduation mo?
Opo. pero okey lang kasi andun yung mga magagandang babae ng Socio: sina Heidi, Pia, Malou, Gina, at Joziel - kaya umaliwalas din.

Lapid 3:16




Sa wakas, na-upload rin. This video contains the now-immortal line of Mark Lapid from the movie "Apoy sa Dibdib ng Samar", hereinafter referred to as Lapid 3:16, in reference to Stone Cold Steve Austin's Austin 3:16 catchphrase and the timeless John 3:16 from the Bible. In addition, there are also selected spoofs of Lapid 3:16 that i got from YouTube, well, at least the ones that really made me laugh hard. Damn. One cheesy line delivered with burning passion, and then all hell breaks loose with the uncontrollable laughter. Henyo ka Mark Lapid, henyo ka. Pati yung mga gumaya sa iyo, sakto lang. Saktong-sakto.

WWF Saturday Night's Main Event 1986 - Jake The Snake Roberts vs. Ricky The Dragon Steamboat.wmv




Ricky The Dragon Steamboat cuts a promo on Jake The Snake Roberts before their Saturday Night's Main Event match. The Snake then legitimately injures The Dragon with his signature DDT on the concrete floor. Steamboat suffered a concussion after this match, but would win a future rematch with Roberts.
