pasaway!

Ito dapat ang ilalagay namin sa college yearbook, hindi lang natuloy. Natatawa pa rin ako pag nababasa ko. Hay... those were the days of fawrBAnueve!


ALVIS
Kamukha ni Turkoglo, at ni Justin Timberlake. Makulit. Amoy-sibuyas kapag nakainom. Tsaka matinong-matino pag tulog. Matalino, napakagaling manghula sa exam. Dahilan kung bakit umalis si MAR! Kc sinira nya yung sumpaan nilang dalawa na sila'y para sa isa't isa. Mahal pa mandin sya ni Mar! Malaki ang biceps ni Marvin!


BOD
Bodrrick is an intelligent person although you can't really think he is. He is so jolly, sobrang kulit, lakas mang-asar. Pero higit sa lahat, hindi ka iiwan sa lahat ng bagay. Mabait pero medyo mainitin ang ulo. Ito si "Boy Turon", ang hilig sa turon; "Mr. Blush", palaging namumula ang mukha.


ARKIN
Si Arkin na yata ang pinakamachong tao sa balat ng lupa!!! Sya yung tipo ng lalaki na pag dumaan mapapanganga ka!!! Nakapagwapo nya, may codename nga sya - GM - Gwapo Man!!! Isang salita lang para ma-describe si Arkin - POGI!


NIKKO
Nikko is a tall, silent type kind of guy. From afar you might think he's a famous actor from a not-so-known series called Mr. Bean. Loves to play sports and has a weird habit of writing anywhere... walls, tables, chairs, etc. Mala-artistang itsura...


J.R.
Daniel Santos Jr. - "the epitome of man". This guy is the official heartthrob of Batch 2004 (Commerce). Whenever he passes by, girls usually stop and stare as if they have seen a movie star. Lucky Manzano look-alike, mas gwapo pa sya kay Lucky... kilabot ng B.A.

para kay *friendship*

Huwag kang matakot
Di mo ba alam nandito lang ako
Sa iyong tabi
Di kita pababayaan kailanman
At kung ikaw ay mahulog sa bangin
Ay sasaluhin kita


Huwag kang matakot na matulog mag-isa
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot na umibig at lumuha
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot, aah...


Huwag kang matakot
Dahil ang buhay mo'y walang katapusan
Makapangyarihan ang pag-ibig na hawak mo
Sa 'yong kamay
Ikaw ang diyos at hari ng iyong mundo
Matakot sila sa 'yo


Huwag kang matakot na matulog mag-isa
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot na umibig at lumuha
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot na magmukhang tanga
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot sa hindi mo pa makita
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot, aah...


Huwag kang matakot
Di mo ba alam nandito lang ako
Sa iyong tabi
Di kita pababayaan kailanman
Huwag kang matakot
Di kita pababayaan kailanman
Huwag kang matakot
Di kita pababayaan kailanman
Huwag kang matakot
Di kita pababayaan kailanman
Huwag kang matakot
Di kita pababayaan kailanman...

Matagal na itong naglalaro sa aking isipan at malamang hindi ako ang una't huling makakaisip nito: Ano kaya kung yung tawagan nyo ng boyfriend/girlfriend mo ay MY PRECIOUS - mala-Lord of the Rings? At dapat, kapag tinukoy nyo ang isa't isa eh tonong Golum din... bwahaha...

MY PRECIOUSSSS... bwahaha...

kanlungan

Nung isang linggo dumaan ako ng USTe. Kelan lang naman yung huli kong pagbisita rito, pero ngayon ko lang na-realize... pucha, ang laking parking lot neto!!

Nagsimula yun sa pagtatayo ng multi-level parking sa tapat ng ospital. Matagal na yun, high school pa lang ata ako nun leading to college. OK lang, kasi dati na yung parking lot eh, pinatungan lang ng isang level.

Grumaduate ako ng college. Pagbalik ko, ako'y nagulantang pagdaan ko sa may sports complex. Nakakasilaw kasi yung dilaw at itim na pintura. Parang black-gold, black-white. Anak ng...! Parang parking lot ng SM malls ito ah!

Tinabas na rin nila ang mga puno sa loteng pinagtaniman namin ng mga pechay nung high school. Wala na yung tennis court. Wala na rin yung shed na pinagtatambayan namin at pinaglalagyan ng gamit pag P.E. class nung high school. Kalahati ng sports complex, napaliligiran na ng bakod ng AsiaKonstrukt.

Pati yung coop, di ba, giniba na? Dito raw itatayo ang bagong student center. Dadalaw uli ako para makilatis kong mabuti ang bagong gusali.

Andami nang nawala nitong limang taon na nakalipas. Andaming pinalitan.

Is this progress?

i'll stop the world and melt with you... ;)

Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world flashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you

(You should know better)
Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
(You should see why)
Dropped in the state of imaginary grace
(You should know better)
I made a pilgrimage to save this human race
(You should see why)
Never comprehending the race was long gone by

(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
(Let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world) I've seen some changes but it's getting better all the time
(Let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time (Let's stop the world)
There's nothing you and I won't do (Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)

virus

Araw-araw ko syang kasama, pero wala lang. Mabuti ang pakikitungo namin sa isa't isa, pero hindi yung tipong masasabi mong malapit. Mabait syang bata, lalo na nitong mga nakaraang araw. Tuwing kukuha ako ng gamit para sa grupo ko, lagi nya akong binibigyan ng ekstra. Wala yun sa akin; ang nasa isip ko lang ay pasasalamat. Hanggang dumating ang sandaling yon.

Me: Froi, nasan yung clearbook na may training modules at answer keys?
Froi: (mukhang nalito) Huh?
Me: (tamang-tama, lumabas si Ryan sa inner office) Ry, yung clearbook ng answer keys, na sa 'yo?
Ryan: (turns to Froi) Di ba binigay ko sa 'yo?
Froi: Teka, andito sa ilalim ng table ko... (sabay halungkat sa files nya)
Froi: (inabot sa akin ang clearbook) O, eto na.
Me: (tiningnan kunwari ng masama si Froi) Nampotakteng buhay...!!
Ryan: Wag kang magmumura ha... masama yun...

Napatingin ako sa kanya. Napatitig ako sa mata nya. Nakangiti pa sya. Tumigil ang mundo; naglaho bigla ang kapaligiran. May kumalabog, pero tingin ko ako lang ang nakarinig... puso ko yata yun ah. SIYET.

Sa lahat ba naman ng pwedeng sabihin, yun pa. Lalo tuloy akong napapamura.

Magmula nun... ewan ko ba. Hindi ko lubusang mailarawan pero alam ko, may nagbago sa akin. Hindi ko nga lang ito masyadong binigyang-pansin; marami pa akong ibang bagay na dapat unahin at pagplanuhan, lalo ngayong parating ang mga auditors para magmasid sa amin.

Ngunit habang nagdaraan ang mga araw, parang ang hirap nang balewalain. Lalo na kung likas na sa kanya ang pagiging maalalahanin. Yun bang kapag oras ng tanghalian ay hindi na pumalyang magtanong kung kumain ka na ba. May pahabol pa yan sa oras ng uwian, "O, baka hindi ka na naman kumain ha..." "Uy, OK ka lang ba?" "Anong oras kayo nakauwi kagabi?... Kala ko dito ka na naman natulog... parang yan din yung suot mo kahapon ah... hehehe..." Minsan nga'y walang mga salitang binabanggit, ngiti lang... ngiting nakakapagpagaan ng aking loob; parang ang buong araw ay nananatiling isang magandang umaga.

Nagkaroon ng reshuffle sa opisina. Yung mga agents ko ay mapupunta sa ibang team leaders; mapapalitan rin sila ng agents mula sa ibang teams. Ngayon lang nagkaroon ng ganitong arrangement sa buong kasaysayan ng Pygmalion. At dahil sobrang malapit ako sa mga tao ko, ang sakit sa 'kin nun. Pagdating ng uwian, sumugod ako sa Megamall at bumili ng token para sa kanila. Binalak kong ibigay sa kanila yun bago sila mag-lunch break kinabukasan; yun na ang huli naming meeting. At dahil isa nga yong sorpresa, sa reception area ko pinatago ang nasabing mga kagamitan. Baka may makakita nun sa cubicle ko at kalkalin, mahirap na.

Kinabukasan tinanong niya ako kung ano ang gagawin ko sa mga unan na yun. Ngumiti lang ako. "Wala lang; sa agents yan."

"Ibebenta mo?"
"Hindi noh, bigay ko yan."
"Ang sweet mo naman..."
"Hahaha..."
"Ako rin, bigyan mo."
"Hahaha... sira..."
"Bigyan mo 'ko ha."

Dalawang linggo yata nya akong kinulit dyan. Nalito pa nga ako kung ano ang gagawin ko eh. Wala namang kaso yung gastos eh. Pero para bigyan ko sya ng remembrance? Uhmm... hindi kami close noh! Pero di ba nga... uy, kras...

Ang parinig nya sa akin: "Ang sarap talaga matulog... lalo na kung malambot yung unan."

Minsan dinidiretso ako: "Uy, yung unan ko?"

Minsan ibang tao pa ang nagsasabi: "Yung unan daw ni Mambo, nasan na?"

Tawa lang ako.

Yun lang naman ang pwede mong gawin pag di ka na makapagsalita eh.

Medyo nanibago ako nung sumunod na mga araw. Aba, at hindi na ako kinukulit! O Diyos ko... bakit??? Pero... hayaan mo nga sya!

Hanggang sa may bumulong sa akin: "Uy, may chika ako sa 'yo."

"Ano?"
"Tungkol kay boylet."
"Uh... sinong boylet?"
"Tangina mo... ang dami mo kasing lalake kaya di mo na malaman kung sino eh! Si Ryan!"
"Ah. O ano?"
"Hindi ko alam kung makakaya mo..."
Kinabahan ako bigla. "Nyeta... wag mo na ngang sabihin... noooooo...!!"
Tawanan.
"Ano, sila na ni Tau?" Yung lagi nyang kaharutan.
"Hindi si Tau."
Shit. "Sino?"
"Agent ko."
"Ha? Sino?"
"Yung maputi."
"Turo mo sa akin mamaya."

Matino yung babae. Tahimik lang sya kaya hindi ko mapagtanto kung bakit at paano nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob itong si boylet na manligaw. Hindi naman naghahalo ang agents at staff noh.

Higit pa roon... di ba may girlfriend sya???

As in hindi pa sila break. As in alive and kicking ang relasyon nila.

Akala ko pa naman tapat sya sa girlfriend nya. Akala ko pa naman hindi sya makabasag-pinggan. Akala ko iba sya sa karaniwan. Akala ko...

Gago yung lalaking yun ah.

Turn-off.

Abort, Retry, Fail?

Nagpatuloy sa pagporma si boylet. Balita ko, hinahatid na nya yung babae. Hindi ako nakikialam dahil ano nga naman ba ang pakialam ko?

Nung isang linggo, may tumawag daw kay babae. Kaboses ng isa naming officemate; nagpapakilalang fiancé ni boylet. Layuan na raw ni girl si boylet, kundi'y magkakagulo. Nasa paligid lang raw si fiancé kaya mag-ingat-ingat raw si girl.

Duh... may fiancé sya rito sa office?

In the first place, hindi naman yung babae ang lumalapit kay boylet noh. Dapat alam nya yun kung totoong nasa opisina lang sya. Gaga ba sya?!

At ang nakakatawa pa, tinanong ni boylet si girl kung may tumawag ba sa kanya.

Eh di naisip ngayon ni girl, seryoso ba talaga itong lalaking 'to? Parang pinaglalaruan lang sya, ah.

At naisip ko naman: Tangina, buti hindi ko sya binigyan nung unan. Mag-feeling pa sya dyan.

India man sets phone text record
*from The Coffee Break - coffee@gophercentral.com


A Ludhiana, India, man has been registered in the Guinness Book of World Records for sending 182,689 text messages a month, CNET News reported Wednesday. Deepak Sharma's total breaks down to about 6,000 messages a day, 253 an hour, and 4.2 a minute -- or one message every 14 seconds, CNET said.

Sharma told Web News India he aims the torrent of texts at his friends and family. He said he plans to increase his record to 300,000 during the coming month. Wireless operator Airtel reportedly sent the prolific phone-typist a 1,411 page bill.

sinta

Madilim ang langit. Biglang umambon. Walang payong; nilagay ni lalaki ang palad nya sa ibabaw ng ulo ni babae, sinusubukang sanggain ang ulan kahit sila'y mababasa't mababasa rin naman.

Mataas ang araw. Kinuha ni lalaki ang panyo nya at ipinatong sa ibabaw ng ulo ni babae. Inayos pa ang buhok nito: inipit sa ilalim ng panyo at itinabi sa gilid ng tainga para hindi nakakalat sa mukha.

Pagtawid sa lansangan. Akala ni babae nawala na si lalaki. Luminga-linga. Ayun pala, awtomatikong lumipat sa danger zone pagbaba nila mula sa bangketa.

Haaay... shit, ang sarap magkasyota... ... hahaha...

cruel/kind

I interviewed a newly grad and rejected him.

He finished Computer Science. He came from the province, but is presently living with his Manilean cousins as he embarked into this wide, real world. He's full of promise... well, at least that's what his resumé says. He bagged the Best Presentor and Best Thesis awards upon graduation, with the help of his groupmates. I asked him to elaborate about the project; the ideas are still fresh in his mind. I knew that he wasn't a mere dummy when this thesis was made - unlike most college grads, sad to say.

I really believe he can make it in the IT world. His passion is there, not in sales. And so I did not accept him. I gave him Accenture's number instead.

He'll thank me someday, when he becomes some IT company's top programmer.

I hope he understood my vision.

Don't disappoint me, boy. Goodluck...

cruel world

I rode a jeep from Cubao towards home. When it came to a slow stop I observed a young boy, around seven years old, dirt in his face, with no shirt on, trying to run away while clutching his arm. Pain was visible in his eyes. I saw a big piece of rock not so far away. My brows knotted as I tried to think if there was any connection between the two.

The next thing I saw was a much younger boy... he couldn't be more than five. He was well-dressed; he looked clean. He was picking pieces of rock from the ground... I gasped as he hurled one to the older boy! He threw another, and another, while saying loudly, "Gago ka...!"

Gosh. Palamura akong bata pero this scene is too much for me to handle. I just can't believe a young child could be this brutal, this heartless.

What's happening to us?

trip to quiapo

Na-weirduhan ako dun sa FX driver pano'y biglang kumanan pagdating ng EDSA. Hindi lang ako ang nagtaka: yung pulis na nagta-trapik ay sinundan kami ng tingin at parang gusto kaming harangin; yung babaeng katabi ko ay luminga-linga at parang gustong magprotesta.

Pumasok ang FX sa driveway ng Shangri-La Mall, tapos ay binagtas muli ang St. Francis Street, na syang pinanggalingan namin kanina. Nagtama ang paningin ng driver namin at nung driver ng FX na katabi ng sasakyan. Sumenyas ang driver namin - itinuro ang EDSA at nag-gesture na akala mo'y kostumer na nanghihingi ng chit sa waiter. Mukhang na-gets naman nung isang driver; pareho silang umakyat sa Shaw Boulevard flyover.

Ah, OK. Iwas kotong pala yun.

Things to do on the elevator:


1 When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.

2 Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.

3 Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones.

4 Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor you're on.

5 Hold the doors open and say your waiting for a friend. After a while, let the doors close, and say, "Hi Greg. How's your day been?"

6 Drop a pen and wait until someone goes to pick it up, then scream, "That's mine!"

7 Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.

8 Move your desk into the elevator and whenever anyone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.

9 Lay down the twister mat and ask people if they would like to play.

10 Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on, ask them if they can hear ticking.

11 Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers.

12 Ask, "Did you feel that?"

13 Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.

14 When the doors close, announce to the others, "It's okay, don't panic, they open again!"

15 Swat at flies that don't exist.

16 Tell people that you can see their aura.

17 Call out, "Group Hug!"and then enforce it.

18 Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, "Shut up, all of you, just shut up!"

19 Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask, "Got enough air in there?"

20 Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.

21 Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror, "You're one of THEM!" and back away slowly.

22 Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.

23 Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope.

24 Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.

25 Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, then announce, "I have new socks on."

26 Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, "This is MY personal space."

Death Of A Polar Bear


UST-AB will never be the same again.

A symbol of AB's unwavering commitment to servitude, Manong Solis, fondly called Polar Bear has passed away.

Manong Polar, who was christened that name due to his strong resemblance of the Polar bear character in the video game Crash Bandicoot, was a firm (and at times, strict to a fault) security guard who could, and would (literally and figuratively) block your path. I remember him catching up with me saying that I couldn't enter the building because of me wearing gray pants even though I was already seated in room 107. Now isn't that a commitment to upholding the Security Guard Maxim: NO ID, NO ENTRY, or its variation of that day: NO BLACK PANTS, NO ENTRY.

Pwede rin NO BLACK SHOES, NO ENTRY. Ang dami nun eh.

Manong Polar was also instrumental in bringing down a thief (or was it a cellnapper? I can't remember) that was plaguing AB. Apparently, the culprit was a girl dressing in AB clothes. My thesis group also got footage of him apprehending a deaf guy infront of the AB Pavillions, I think we used that for Sir Ochoa's news class.

Yes, the new batch of AB students shall never experience his warm and friendly poker face (a paradox in itself, I know) as he checks for your ID that is supposed to be worn as you enter. Nowadays, the students just pass their hi-tech-gold-and-glitter ID over the IR port and voila! Your face appears on a large PC Monitor, parading your face for all to see. New Artistang Artlets members shall not discover the joy of finding out Manong Polar's soft spots and playing on them when AA prods require them to go to school out of uniform. Gone are the days of Manong Polar opening his drawer and looking forward, tiger look on his face while he whispers: "Ilaglag mo yun yosi dyan. Bawal kasi kunin yan." Christmas expenditures have the illusion of being lower, because Manong Polar is a name that has been struck out of the student's gift list.

Yeah. AB will never be the same again.

Kudos to you Manong "Polar Bear" Solis. Fare you well in the afterlife. You shall be fondly remembered. And hopefully, we meet you in life after death, in your sparkling white uniform, your battered drumstick in hand, tiger look in your eyes and those familiar words that made AB a part of us: "ID mo?"

"i think he's just a figment of your imagination..."

PICTURES OF YOU
The Cure


I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel

Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go

Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything

If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down

Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang

Now he's gone I dont know why
Until this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

When you say, "I'm sorry", look the person in the eye.

reasons to be beautiful - hole

Love hangs herself
With the bedsheets in her cell
Threw myself on fires for you
Ten good reasons to stay alive
Ten good reasons that I can't find

Oh, give me a reason to be beautiful
So sick in his body, so sick in his soul
Oh, give me one reason to be beautiful
Oh, and everything I am

Love hates you
I lived my life in ruins for you
And for all your secrets kept
I squashed the blossom, and the blossom's dead

Oh, give me reason to be beautiful
So sick in his body so sick in his soul
Oh, and I will make myself so beautiful
Oh, and everything I am

Miles and miles of perfect skin
I swear I do, I fit right in
My love burns through everything
I cannot breathe
Miles and miles of perfect sin
I swear, I said, I fit right in
I fit right in your perfect skin
I cannot breathe

Hey, baby, take it all the way down
Hey baby taste me anyway
Oh you were born
So pretty oh summerbabe
We'll never know
And fading like a rose...

Give me a reason to be beautiful
So sick in his body, so sick in his soul
I'll give you my body, just sell me your soul
Oh, and everything I am will be bought and sold
Oh, and everything I am will turn hard and cold

And they say in the end
You'll get bitter just like them
And they steal your heart away
When the fire goes out you better learn to fake
It's better to rise than to fade away

Hey, you were right
Named a star for your eyes
Did you freeze, did you weep
Turn to gold baby, sleep

Hey, honey mine
I was there all the time
And I weep at your feet
And it rains and rains...

the eye of God

This is a picture NASA took with the Hubble telescope, called "The Eye of God."
This kind of event occurs once in 3000 years.
