Morato.

Ill make this short.

Im drunk and it has been SOOOOOOOOOOOOO long since ive been in a bar to get drunk like this.

First, I went to Anna's to uplaod the pics from shel's memory card but it still doesnt fit. xd kasi. so tumuloy na kami sa morato for the hale gig then dahil traffic, naglakad kami ni anna tapos andun sina shel, hazel, krissy, joan, and hannah sa ice monster. namiss ko si hannah. :D

after the gig, nagpunta sa kalye juan dahil sarado na lahat ng bars at doon naglasing with mamu, anna, and liza. sumunod si joal. at nakauwi ako ng 530 na. ang adik nagonline pa.

mangiinggit lang ako ng konti.

im getting my 80g iPod Video later. <3 i love this day.

First Of Summer.

its 325 pm and i havent had my lunch yet. Last Tuesday, Anna and I went to Dea, 's house to get boozed up coz she threw away a goin-away party. isang buwang bakasyon lang naman but shempre kailangan naming magdahilan para uminom. LOL Then Sheldon proposed to go to Enchanted Kingdom so, the next day, nagpunta kami. ^_^ , , , and Kristina joined in the fun. Sayang wala sina mamu tsaka lea. sana sa susunod kumpleto na pamilya.

Walang katao-tao sa Enchanted. Ive been there a lot of times pero ngayon ko lang naenjoy yung stay ko dun. as in sobrang lahat ng sasakyan nasakyan ko. I guess pinakanagenjoy kami sa Dodgem. Tsaka sa Rapids. hahahahahaha. hindi ko na alam kung paano ko ikkwento ng buo yung araw but i guess, the pics will tell it all. Then after that, Champ said na we should grab some dinner at their house. Pambawi kasi tinamad sumama. LOL. We stayed from 1030pm, did a lot of YouTubing until 130am. sobrang bagsak nako paguwi.


Hindi ko pa nauupload yung nasa cam ni shel kasi di pala kasya sa cam ko, so eto muna yung unang installment. ^_^

Shooting Star



Shooting Star
HALE

Many times you've hurt me
So many times you've fooled me
But you'll be doing it again

So many times we've spent in
Too many lives we've been in
But you're doing it again

To me the nights have fallen
The lights are on and off again
Is there a chance that you won't die
Won't die, with me tonight?

Like a shooting star to where you are
Are we too late am I too soon?
You'll make it through you've gone too far
Will you ever be my star?

I'm holding on to nothing
No reason worth for living
I'm calling out to you

If it's the only way to keep you
Then I dont want to break you
I'm losing grip again

With you the nights have fallen
The lights are on and off again
Is there a chance that you wont die
Won't die, with me tonight?

Like a shooting star to where you are
Are we too late am I too soon
You'll make it through you've gone too far
Will you ever be my star?

You're a shooting star to where you are
Are we too late am I too soon
You'll make it through you've gone too far
Will you ever be my star?
Will you ever be my star?

You're walking away
I'll be seeing you through a satellite

If you go
Then I'm walking away

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsEEmmIGtFg">Dolphin Massacre In Japan</a>

my eyes are the heaviest right now. but i think i wouldnt sleep if i dont let this out.

10am, i woke up, grabbed coffee and went online then i accidentally clicked youtube on my google ig featuring three japanese girls. and its just pure senseless. and then theres this video with a subject that caught my attention in the "related" box, "dolphin massacre in japan". i clicked it, thought it was just one of those weird japanese videos, and yes it is. but this time, it made me cry like hell. and im not using the word "crying" like how people use it on a simple emotion. i literally and wholeheartedly cried.

i remembered the first day i saw a dolphin. i was 11, and we were on our way to negros, riding a ferry from cebu. they were like those playful puppies wanting attention. who would not smile when you see them whistle or try to even talk? they are one of the most adorable, cute, benign creature ive ever seen. aside from really fluffy puppies.

and i understand japan like how they culture work. i mean, we have our differences. they eat with chopsticks, we eat with a spoon and a fork (which was actually found weird in canada, if you could recall that pinoy kid isolated in their cafeteria), some eat with a fork and a knife and some with their hands. so this post is far about criticizing other cultures. this isnt about nationalities, this is about the human specie being sadistically barbaric, unbelievably inhumane and senselessly trying to use survival skills when we still have aplenty.

i am just trying to point out about the dolphins. we all know that there are other creatures eaten even though we could eat the livestocks we are breeding and vegetables we are planting. and there may be times that we have that feeling of substantiation then think that dolphins are just fishes, meant to be eaten. or perhaps imagined having a juicy bite of a phillipine eagle breast fillet. aso nga rito pinapatay e. kulang na lang pati nanay kainin. it is a really bad analogy. but it helped me realize putting my shoe to inborn-vegetarians who see someone eat a chicken leg in front of them.

its the process of killing the dolphins that breaks my heart more. first, they trap them, disturb their sonar senses, poke them with a spear to intentionally spill blood on the water so other dolphins would come near it, tie it up on a truck then drag it on a near pier slaughterhouse. kids pass by seeing the dolphins in that manner like they are just meant to squiggle like that, gasping for oxygen with their airducts slashed open, then die in a very painful slow death. sell it in the market, and label it wrong, pretending that its tuna. or any other meat.

then reading the comments in youtube... it wasnt even the dolphins anymore. its suddenly about the races, the presidents, the pseudo intellects, the articulates, the spell checkers and a lot of cusses. why? why are we all of a sudden so blinded by what we pretend to know and have achieved, have discovered yet, becoming heartless that at some point, beating animals to death just became a mere hobby. or a view. or just, plain nothing.

i am so sad to have lived in a world like this. to have coexisted with people who arent even people anymore.

Gabby's Graduation.

i was actually excited attending her first graduation. i love graduations actually. but preschool grads are mostly emotionless, a lot of runnings and awfully weird. some moms are like showdog people. come on.
che and i are both surprised when gabby got 3 medals. coz i thought teachers tell the parents if their child will be having an award beforehand. first, we sang the national anthem (which i actually miss) then recited panatang makabayan. and its different na pala. weird. sana pala nauupdate tayo sa mga ganyan. or magulat na lang tayo may lupang hinirang remix featuring lani misalucha na.
so first, masaya pa lahat, pero maya maya, when they had this speaker, ang weird. kung anu ano pinagsasabi:

1. "wag nyong paniwalaan si ernie baron. hindi power ang knowledge. WISDOM IS POWER."
2. "ano ang kaibahan ng smart sa wise? ang smart sa tagalog, marunong. ang wisdom ay karunungan."
3. "sino ang may mga anak rito, taas ang kamay."
4. "dapat lahat tayo may fear of the lord. kasi kung hindi tayo natatakot, bastos tayo."
5. "alam nyo ba ang slumbook? ano nilalagay nyo sa motto? dapat try and try until you succeed. yan ang ilalagay nyo from now on. bakit kanyo? dahil yan ang sinabi ni god our savior.

pero ito ang nangunang quote na hinding hindi ko malilimutan.

"ang knowledge ay galing lang sa tao. pagiging maalam. ang wisdom ay galing kay jesus christ."

O_o

i listened for 20 minutes then i stood up, went to a store outside, then bought c2. hindi ko na sha gets. ang bigat sa loob na maraming bata ang nakikinig. bakit sha ginawang speaker? *shivers* kindergarden pa sha ng kindergarden. nakakairita talaga. he spoke for 1 hour and 30 minutes. wow. nakakaasar pa when a kid is doin something wrong tapos nakatingin lang yung nanay na hindi sinasaway. i was taking pics of gabby sa stairs then this kid is playing with a locked door sa tabi so, ang ingay and kasaway saway talaga. i was looking for the mom kasi baka maipit yung bata, paglingon ko, nakafold lang yung arms tapos nakatingin samin. yung mata ko nangungusap. sabi "hoy anak mo pag naputulan ng daliri rito wag kong marinig rinig na maghihihiyaw ka. sisipain kita sa mukha." ganyan kagalang ang mga mata ko. i think i still dont like kids. i just love my own and i think its fair enough.
then i asked gabby kung san nya gustong magpunta or kumain after. sabi nya gusto nya ng cotton candy tapos punta sa zoo. so pinagbigyan ko naman. doble yung bayad dun. 40 sa entrance tapos 40 uli sa kinder zoo. eh lima kami so goodluck sakin. wala naman kaming napala sa kinder zoo. dalawang paruparo lang nakita ko sa butterfly farm. ano yun hinihintay nila mangitlog? tapos wala yung mga giraffes, rhinos, hippos. puro pusang ligaw lang ang nagkalat. shet.
ngayon, mahapdi ang balat ko, i kept on sneezing (hindi ko alam kung bakit), TANGINA ANG INIT.

hassle yung araw, but a dad could never be prouder.

ibulong mo sa buwan.



ibulong mo sa buwan ang bawat pighating naibigay ko sa yo. na sa bawat salitang naghatid ng luha sa iyong mga mata ay napakahirap bawiin ng lahat ng kapatawarang hihingin.

ibulong mo sa buwan ang lahat ng hiling mo. para hindi mapukaw ang mga mumunting anghel na panandaliang tumatakas sa walang kapagurang paggabay. sasabihin ng buwan lahat, paggising nila. upang ihatid sa Kanya, ang mga katuparan ng mga yaon.

ibulong mo sa buwan ang lahat ng lihim natin. nang maaaninag natin ang bawat tamis at pait ng ating pagsasama. iingatan nya ang lahat ng alaalang ginawa na nating ginto, at tubig ng ating kaluluwa.

ibulong mo sa buwan ang lahat ng pangako. at sa tuwing masisilayan natin ang kanyang pisngi at liwanag, ikaw lang at ako ang tangi nyang ipapaalala, pati ang mga salitang isinumpa natin sa kanya.

ibulong mo sa buwan kung gaano mo ako kamahal. dahil mas kakayanin nya ang init ng haring araw di gaya ng puso ko. at pag darampi ito sa mundo at sa akin, tanging ang ilaw nya ang gagabay sa nabubulag kong kaisipan.

mawala man sya sa pagsikat ng araw, di man siya makita sa likod ng mga ulap, naririyan lamang sya, dala ang lahat ng liwanag ng alaala mo, at init ng pagmamahal ko.

dahil sa lahat ng ibinulong ko sa buwan, ang lahat ng pagmamahal, pangako, lihim, hiling, at pighati... ay naibulong ko na sa yo..
