Hang in There

The DSL connections are sucky again. I have so many things to do pa naman. I have to do that bag tag from Mel and some kwento but I cant because the connexions nga are sucky.

Please bear with me.

Meanwhile... have fun elsewhere...

Will post as soon as net connections normalize

See yah soon

Count Your Blessings

As I do mine. I do not know if it's just because it's my birthday or what, but certainly, blessings have been pouring forth.

My sister got me this spankin' new phone and I lourve it!



I love my motorazor v3 but as things are heavily used, they bog down. I have been complaining about the limited internal memory of my old phone and its inability to be expanded. I do love my razor but due to old age and heavy usage, it has presented a host of problems, such as limited battery life thus limiting talk/standby time. My other phone, a Sony Ericsson P900 is also a bit erratic and unreliable. With my new Nokia E63, I can now sit pat and Wi-Fi my way at my fave kofishop. Now turn Green, I mean, Ruby Red with envy... So baklushness the color noh? And so Balckberry-ish the look!

After complaining much, my other sister also handed me down this digicam. Now I can snap!




Now this has been a long overdue item in my wish list. I am not exactly a techie guy and all I need is a good camera to capture all those moments as they happen. I really don't care if its just a hand me down or whatever. A cam is a cam is a cam. Now strike a pose!

And to shade my caramel brown eyes from the hot summah sun, my brother gave me this.

My Oakley Why 8.1's lenses are just abit darker than the one in the picture with a rainbowish/multi-coated bluish/black lenses. I lourve how perfect it is to shade my eyes from the hot summah sun, and how I can retire my cheap Pacififc Blue Aviator shades. Perfect all the more for that scheduled return to Bora next week. Yes, we will once again hit Bora soon, so surf up beeyotches!

Plus, My pearly whites have been taken care of and the remaining chompers have been fixed up. Right now, I can not even eat a decent meal because it hurts a f*ckin lot. Four more units are getting fixed porcelain caps for that sparkling stain free smile, caffeine and nicotine stains resistant. My brother in law said... "You deserve it" YES I DO! AND MORE! Chos!

Can a birthday boy be any happier?

Yes...

If you come along now and shower me some hot summah lovin...

disgruntled much? Hehehehe

A boi can dream can't he?

PRESCRIPT: Na tag na pala si Mr Scheez so Im tagging Zen instead

I got tagged and here are the rules:

A. Write something about 15 different people
B. You can not say who they are
C. If someone asks you which one is about them you can NOT tell
D. Tag 15 people who you think would do this, too You don't have to tag the people you wrote about.

And because I have a healthy regard for 'loopholes' in the rules, I am making one right now. In rule C, I would like to point out that if you ask me correctly, I will either just say yes or No.
Example: Uy Luis, ako ba yung number 12? I did not necessarily tell you which one is about you, did I? I just told you that you werewrong or right about the one you thought was you, right? Oh and you can only ask me once. Heehehehe... Now let' see

1. God! I love you, as in sobra! Kailangan pa bang imemorize yan? I love you to the point that saying it diminishes the meaning and the gravity of that love. Not even Pablo Neruda's lines can approximate the love I have for you, and the funny thing is, you know that I do! Hehehehe! Bitch! I miss you so much that you are one motivator that propells me to finish this effin' school term and get it over and done with! I love you with the thought that if we're just together, laging merong umagang kay ganda! I am tempted to say that I wouldn't really care if we'd be kings or beggars so as long as we're together, but that's too much of an insult to what we can do. OBCHORZ! We WILL NOT be beggars! We just can't! We are fabulousness personified ya know! Sing it with me! God will mikawi, werther's sems chu bi nowi! Heheheheh AH LURV YAH!

2. Your friendship excites me. It is pure electricity! The voltage just gets higher and higher and I lourve it! I see you and me in our old age bitching together over coffee or whatever substitute if our health programs forbid it! I totally totally freakin' swear I will not trade your friendship for a PRADA, or even a PATEK... uhmmm, for a NOBEL? Uhmmmm.... hehehehhe beyotch! I'm sure you'd trade me in for a Prada, but hey, I know you to be a deal breaker so you'd still have me after you get the Prada, then we'd go trampling on the streets together with our Prada's together! Fuck them sponsors! Hehehehehe... If I say what song I think represents you best, It'd be a dead give away.

3. Ay nako! Bakit kasi ngayon lang tayo naging magkaibigan! Nagyong purita ka na at di na masyadong kayamanan? Hehehehe. I adore you dahlen! Ahlabiah and ahmishah so much. I can not explain the chemistry but I feel that in our past lives we were super friends na. Muchacha kita dati. Joke! Basta, I am so glad na nagkakilala at nagkita tayo, and if you ask me kung ikaw to, sasabihin ko sa yo NO. Hehehehehe.

4. I have a big high school crush on you! Ask my friends. No matter how bubbly I am, when I am in the presence of someone whom I like so much, I become so demure it's almost a fake. I love your brains. I feel you are a great person. I imagine how it would feel to have your arms around me. How would it be like to listen to your stories and your wild and vivid imaginings. I imagine myself scouring the streets of Quiapo while I hold your hand as we comb the alleys for 'stories.' How I'd lead you to the quaint streets of the old port area of Iloilo as we do the same.

5. I wonder how you do it? How you could be so brash and careless... no make that reckless... How you do not have any regard for what others may feel and how you could throw the word love around like a free carnival ride. How you mix up love, passion and sex and nicely put them all together in the blender, push the button, and juice up every bit you can. I just wish that some day soon, all these things that you do will catch up on you, and the rest would be, as they say it, history.

6. You wanna see what happens in a bag of Luis? What goes on before they touch your lips? They make a rainbow! A batchoy rainbow! Come on! Open me up! Need I show you the tear here label? Sheesh! You are sure to find the color you like I'm sure! As the song goes... Baby look at me, and tell me what you see, you aint seen the best of me yet, give me time I'll make you forget the rest. I got it all in me, and you can set it free. I can catch the moon in my hand, don't you know who I am? Chos!

7. Let me borrow the lines uttered by Fairuza Balk in the movie The Craft because it says perfectly what I would like to say to you, and I quote: "Jealous? Me? Jealous of you? YOU DON'T EVEN EXIST TO ME!" With that, I say 'nuff said!

8. You will always have me. Always... There is no way in this world or this lifetime that you will ever lose me. I will always always be there for you, and this is not even a promise. It is a FACT! Did I say lifetime? Because the only way you will ever ever loose me is if I die before you do. Only then will you lose me, for real. Otherwise, you will always have me.

9. Akala mo lang matapang ako. Akala mo lang malakas ako. Pero sa tutoo lang, takot din ako. Mahina rin ako. Takot din ako magtiwala. Takot din ako masaktan. Takot din ako mag isa. Takot din ako sa maaring kahihinatnan ko balang araw, Takot din akong magising sa bawat umaga at malamang nakatulog na naman akong mag isa, at nagising na naman akong unan ang katabi. Nagtatapang tapangan lang ako. Kung magpapadaig ako sa mga takot ko, hindi ko alam kung makakayanan ko ang isipin kung gaano ka lungkot ang pwedeng kahinatnan ko. Habang may natitira akong lakas at paniniwala, pipilitin kong maging matatag at hindi padaig sa mga takot ko. Tignan mo lang ako sa aking mga mata at makikita mo kung gaano din kalaki ang mga takot na ikinukubli ko sa likod ng aking mga ngiti. Ayoko lang talaga ilabas dahil miski ako, hindi kakayanin kung makaalpas ang mga takot na yon.

10. You are a good person. I may not be a competent judge of this, but basing on what I know of and saw so far, I'd make a bet on it. I am not saying you are all good, because if you were, I'd make a run for it. Hindi naman araw araw sabado. Kaya lang minsan, kailangan din natin malaman na sabado na pala. Ewan ko lang kung nag mi-make sense tong sinasabi ko sa yo pero sana oo. Kinagagalak kitang makilala at maging kaibigan. Mabuhay at pagpoalain ka nawa!

11. I do not want to hurt you. What you are asking of me is an imposibility. It gets tempting when you tell me that you are aware of what I really feel about you, and that you are willing to make a wager and damn the odds. I just don't work that way. I am lonely, yes I am, but that does not give me reason enough to be reckless with your heart. I am not that kind of person. I will not even say sorry, because there is nothing that I should be sorry about. I can not even offer you friendship because I know you'd pine for more.

12. I know it's not easy to wake up. I know how nice it is to dream away, but see, waking hours are more wonderful than those in your dreams. I can not promise you that there would be no pain. After all, in this life, there are no guarantees. The only thing I can guarantee you is that what will not kill you will make you stronger. I should know. My pain threshold aint that high or anything but see, I'm still standing. Now open your eyes... Come on now!

13. Salamat sa patuloy na paniniwala sa akin at sa mga bagay na kahit ako mismo ay hindi naniniwalang kaya kong gawin. Salamat sa walang humpay na suporta at pagmamahal, kahit minsan, hindi ko na mahal ang sarili ko. Salamat sa mga panahong nanjan ka, at sa mga panahong wala ka. Sa mga panahong anjan ka para alam kong may ka agapay ako, at sa mga panahong wala ka. para sabihin sa aking kaya ko naman pala talaga. Salamat!

14. Naiinis ako sa mga nangyayari sa yo. Naiinis ako na hindi makita ng mga tao kung gaano ka kabuti. Hindi nila nakikita ang napakaganda mong pagkatao. Naiinis ako na ayaw mo na rin maniwala na magaling ka at mabuti kang tao. Minsan gusto na lang kitang batukan at ingudngod sa sahig, kaltukan ng bonggang bongga, ipukpok ang ulo mo sa pader at bugbugin ng bonggang bongga ulit. Haler! They do not deserve you.

15. Para sa yo to... kaya makinig kang mabuti! San ka na ba kasi? Wer na u? Hir na me! Hehehehe... super ten thousand years naman eh. Sawang sawa na ako at pagod pagod na ako kakahintay sa yo. Pwede ba, magpakita ka na! Tanginampakincheff ka naman kasi eh! I swear, kung matagal ka pa, wala ka nang aabutan. Kahit tira tira, wala na talaga. Ipamumudmod ko na to sa mga naghihikahos at nag aabang ng kahit kakarampot na biyaya! Hekhekhek... I don't care how nyou get here, just get here if you can!

Si Tina Pa(y)ner at si Lyka


Dalawang linggo din akong absent sa Thirstnights with the Thursday group. Super miss ko na sila. Medyo late pa ako dumating pero umabot pa rin naman ako. Absent si Bing. Namatay daw ang grand aunt nya kaya umuwi sya ng probinsya. Sina Jen, Tina at ang gelpren lang ni Jen ang nandun.

Kung gaano ko sila na miss, ganun din naman sila sa akin. Beso to the max! Hey now! The Beyotch is back. Aktwali, magdadrama sana ako sa kanila dahil kay "Pill"... Si "Just Like a Pill" ba? Well, prepared na ako ma okray. Pano naman kasi, mainlab ba sa YM sa bilis ng isang oras at sa batang (toink) disisais? Wenong magagawa ko? Madaling mahulog ang utak ko. You heard it right peepols... Mas nauuna kasing mahulog ang utak ko kesa puso ko. That's the quickest way to my heart. F*ck my brains and I will f*ck you silly. Stimulate my neurons and you stimulate my heartstrings!

Sige na nga! Hindi ko naman kasi dapat pag eemote-an ang simbilis ng kidlat din na pag babawi nya ng mga matatamis nyang mga pangako with the ever classic line, "I need time to think..." Ang pagdadramahan ko sana ay ang mabilis din nyang pagkahanap ng pamalit sa akin. The quick brown fox f*cked the lazy dog without a tinge of remorse. Kala ko ba you need time to think? Well, sabihin man natin na kahibangan ang umasa na maayos at nasa lugar ang pinasok ko, kasi nga, hello naman, Kamikaze na nga, Blitzkreig pa. Kung may bibilis pa sa kisapmata, yun na yon! Kagaguhan na kung kagaghuan, pero tingin ko naman, it deserves a mourning period, at konting respeto, na siguro, dahil bata sya, ay hindi nya alam ang kahulugan. Besides, tao pa din naman ako, at gusto ko lang mag emote. Bakit ba? Walang puke-alamanan!
Before ko magagawa yan, syempre pa, jam muna sa banda at sayawan. Mimya na ang emote. Balitaan ng bonggang bongga, kumustahan at kung anik anikan pa. Duda ako, may pinaplano sila para sa birthday ko. May ibubugaw siguro sila sa akin, kasi ang pambunggad ni Jen,

"So? How's your heart? Someone from Le Manille captured it while you were there, or do we still need to do something drastic in time for your birthday, so you can have your cake and eat it, too?"

"Someone from Le Manille captured it when I already came back here... and it was all a big joke!" sagot ko. "Wala na akong perang pambalik dun kasi... kung meron lang...And speaking of drastic, if that was not drastic, then I do not know how else to call it... tragic perhaps?"

Biglang emote si Tina... "Pera! Pera lang naman yan eh... Parang dapat di ka maubusan para di rin nauubos ang pagmamahal nila sa yo, tangina!"

Aba'y heavy drama na ito! Turns out, ang kalampungan nya the last Thirstnights we had before I went to Manila, is not only history, but is a recession history...

"Oh? Bakit? Akala ko ba mahal ka nya? Di ba nga sabi mo iba to? What happened?"

"Mahal nya nga ako... Mahal na mahal... di ko maaford sa sobrang mahal. Iba nga sya, kasi hindi harap harapan kung manghuthot."


Hindi ko alam kung tatawa ako o maiinis ako. Niyakap ko si Tina. Flow na the tears...

"Mahal nya lang ako dahil sa mga bagay na maibibigay ko sa kanya... Sapatos, damit, gabi gabing gimik, inom, load... Tangina... nung makakita ng mas malaking isda, ayun, mabilis pa sa ATM machine!"

Nainis na ako. Kung nandun lang ako, nakita ko malamang yun, at napagsabihan ko si Tina. Malamang nabugbog ko yung gagong lalaking yun! Este, baklang yun. Bi daw sya... Bai-yot! Kapal kapal kaya ng foundation ng hinayupak na yun! Di bale nang ako ang masaktan, wag ko lang nakikita na nasasaktan ang mga kaibigan ko!


"Nagpapahaging na kasi yun na gusto daw bumalik sa school. Siyempre hindi naman ako educational grant, foundation, scholarship or endowment. Sabi ko, tignan ko muna. Kaya pala di na sya nangungulit nun. Inenroll na for summer ng bago nyang biktima!" patuloy ni Tina.

Magrereact na sana ako violently pero natememe na lang ako sa sagot ni Jen.

"Bata kasi!"

Nag eecho sa pandinig ko ang sinabi nya... Goodnes gracious... Matrauma yata ako sa bata neto ah! Kailangan ko na ba ulit ibalik ang age limit ko sa original na bracket? Kainis lang na kinailangang mangyari ang mga to kung kelan wala ako.

"Pinagyayabang pa nya ngayon ang bago nya. Nakabalandra sa friendster nya, sa facebook, sa YM at saan saan ang bago nya! Hindi man lang nya naiisip na masasaktan ako lalo. Di ko naman sya ma remove or ma block. Magmumukhang bitter naman ako nun. At saka, ako ang mas nakakatanda, ako dapat ang nagpapakita ng maturity kahit pa sa pagtatapos namin, at kahit nasasaktan ako ng sobra," patuloy ni Tina!

PAKSHET! Tumbok na naman ang Batchoy Boi. Saktong sentimyento ko. Gusto kong sabihing, ganyan talaga sila eh... kung sino pa tong nangiiwan at nangwalanghiya, sila pa tong malakas makainsulto, pero hindi ko na nagawa... lumilipad na rin ang utak ko.

Nauna na si Jen kasi senglot na ang gelpren. Naiwan kami ni Tina. Wala akong masabi sa kanya. Yakap na lang at hagod sa likod. Pakshet naman kasi eh!

Lumiwanag ang mundo nung may tumawag sa pangalan ko.

"Luis? Luis Batchoy?"

Lumingon ako. OH to the EM of the GEE!!!


Bumaba mula sa kanyang kaharian sa kalangitan sa tuktok ng bundok ng Olympus ang aking Blogging Goddess! Ang taong higit kaninuman, ay nag inspire sa akin at patuloy na nagiinspire sa akin para magpatuloy sa pag boblog!

Ang walang katulad at nag iisang LYKA BERGEN! Shetshetshetshetshet! Oo nga naman at umuwi nga pala sya!

LYKA! When ka pa dito? Hanggang kelan ka? Can I offer you anything? Drinks? Coffee? My undying love and devotion? Chos!

Pinakilala ko si Tina at si Lyka. Chikahan at balitaan kami ni Lyka. Nagtanungan kung sino sino ang mga blogger na nameet nya sa Le Manille. Tinanong ko kung kyuti ba ang isang crush ko sa blogosphere... Oo, ikaw yun! Crush ko ang utak mo! Galing mo mag-isip/sulat kasi eh! Pero hindi rin nagtagal ay umalis din si Lyka kasi nga kailangan nyang bumalik sa mga friendship nya sa taas. Nag pramis naman syang mag titext soon.

Kami ulit ni Tina. Kahit papano, naging light na ang moda. Paano naman kasi, bisitahan ka ba naman ng liwanag ng Dyosa? In conclussion sa istorya ng mapait na karanasan ni Tina, nanumbalik naman kahit papano ang kanyang wisyo at nagtwanan na lang kami sa mga kalechehang nangyayri sa mga buhay buhay namin. Halos panabay pa kaming nagsabing...

YJ, alam mo to, kaya join ka! All together now!


"Tanginampakshet nyo! Magpakasarap at magpakasaya kayo sa ngayon, kasi, I swear! Magkakahiwalay din kayo!"

Bitterness?

Kwak sabi ng duck!

Instead of Making Me Better

My friends ask me what is it with me and endings. Why do I desire closures? In defense I told them that I do not really "desire" closures. In fact, closures, for me, are selfish things. You really want it just for reasons that would benefit you, above everyone else. Do not get me wrong. There were relationships that did not have closures with me, and I still think that some of them are better left as they are. Well, okay, some of them do not even deserve the dignity of a closure. I wouldn't even dignify them with a piece of 'remorse' from my end. Then, one of my friends exclaimed...

"Aha! I think I know what's with Luis and endings!" We all looked at him.

"Eh di ba nga, writer sya? Siguro ganun! Di ba nga kasi, pag nagsusulat ka ng storya, kailangan matapos mo ng magaling?"

He does have a point there. I believe that with fiction, endings should be powerful. Whether it would move you to silent introspection, blast you away completely, leave you in a jam, or plainly tie nicely all the loose ends, or come full circle with the tale and it's telling, an ending should be nothing less but a final masterful stroke. The only difference with stories and relationships is that, in real life, there is really no such thing as a "good" ending. For whatever they're worth, endings are really bad in a way, and somehow, after everything's been said and done, it still leaves you with a shred spirit and a tear or two - or maybe it's just me. I'm glad that even if I may not be entirely good at endings in real life, at least I can concoct powerful ones in my fiction.

Just like the stories I write, there were endings that 'succeeded' and there were those that did not. Anyhoot, what I am actually getting at is really simple...

This song is for you...Yes, you, kiddo...you know who you are.




Just Like A Pill
Pink

Im lyin here on the floor where you left me
I think I took too much
Im crying here, what have you done?
I thought it would be fun

I cant stay on your life support, theres a
Shortage in the switch,
I cant stay on your morphine, cuz its making me
Itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again but shes
Being a little bitch,
I think Ill get outta here, where I can

Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear youre just like a pill
Instead of makin me better, you keep makin me
Ill
You keep makin me ill

I havent moved from the spot where you left me
This must be a bad trip
All of the other pills, they were different
Maybe I should get some help

I cant stay on your life support, theres a
Shortage in the switch,
I cant stay on your morphine, cuz its making me
Itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again but shes
Being a little bitch,
I think Ill get outta here, where I can

Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear youre just like a pill
Instead of makin me better, you keep makin me
Ill
You keep makin me ill

Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear youre just like a pill
Instead of makin me better, you keep makin me
Ill
You keep makin me ill

I cant stay on your life support, theres a
Shortage in the switch,
I cant stay on your morphine, cuz its making me
Itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again but shes
Being a little bitch,
I think Ill get outta here, where I can

Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear youre just like a pill
Instead of makin me better, you keep makin me
Ill
You keep makin me ill

UltraElectroMagneticClosure

Madaming rason kung bakit nag desisyon akong mag Manila, pero kung tutuusin talaga, rason na lang halos lahat ng mga yon.

- Maagang Birthday gift sa sarili ko
- Isatisfy ang aking wanderlust
- Makasamang mulis si Charmita
- Makadaupang palad ang mga nagpipitagang personalidad sa aking limitadong espasyo sa blogosphere
- Wala Lang

Ang pinaka dahilan talaga ay ang panunood ng Eraser Heads Final Set. Naipangako ko sa sarili ko na kailangan talagang makapanood ako nun. Minsan ko nang pinalampas ang pagkakataon nung una silang tumugtog dahil napaaga ang pag luwas ko nun para kunin ang aking Palanca, kung kaya't hindi ko kinaya na makapag ipon para bumalik agad on such short notice. Naisulat ko na sa isang lumang blogpost ko kung paanong magkakaroon ng closure ang pag iibigan namin ni Ely upang matapos na at makapag move on na ako. Chos!

You can take me to the prom, promise not to tell your mom...

Masayang masaya ako, kahit nabutas man ang bulsa ko at nanganganib na hindi na ako magkakaroon ng selebrasyon sa mismong birthday ko. Ang masilayang muli ang bandang naging bahagi na ng buhay ko ay isang napakamakahulugang pagbabalik muli at sa wikang ingles, "coming full circle." Nais kong muling maiduyan sa Nostalgia ng mga awiting kailan man ay nakaukit na sa aking isipan at di kailanman mawawaglit. Ayokong palampasing muli ang isang napakalaking kaganapan, hindi lamang sa kasaysayan ng musikang Pilipino, kundi pati na rin sa aking personal na buhay.

Stars are falling down from heaven, but they're nowhere near our town... Nj ni YJ in vlu!

Bago pa man magsimula, may mga makukulay at maliliwanag na payrworks na pinaputok sa kalangitan. Bonggang bongga naman! Alam na alam nila na gustong gusto ko ng mga ganun ganun. Paberdey nila talaga for me! Wala akong pagsidlan ng tuwa at sbai ni YJ para daw akong batang nagtatatalon at nagsusumigaw sigaw nung simula nang pumailanlang ang unang awitin ng banda. Mangiyak ngiyak pa ako pero pigil na pigil kasi ayoko namang isipin nila YJ na OA ako. Hindi ko lang talaga mapigil magsisigaw ng "I LOVE YOU ELY!" Halos lahat ng mga tao dun, wala ring humpay sa kasisigaw. Hindi nangyari ang madamdaming tagpo na isinulat ng aking malikot na hiraya. Sa kalagitnaan ng tugtugan ay narinig ni Ely ang buong puso kong pagsisigaw sa kanya, at sinagot nya ako.

" I Love You, too, Pare!" sabi nya...

You'll get along with a little prayer and this song...

Wala na! Nagwala na talaga ako at ubod lakas ko nang naisigaw sa natitirang boses ko na malat at namamaos na...

"I LOVE YOU ELY! PAKASAL NA TAYO!"

Kiber sa mga taong naglilingon. Aba'y nagmamahalan kaya kaming dalawa, at sinabi nyang mahal pa rin nya ako. Gaya nung pagmamahal na iginawad ko sa kanya na halos sanggahin ko lahat nung hinagis hagisan sila ng mga bote ng Mineral Water nung tumugtog sila dito sa Iloilo, at kung paanong nilangoy ko din ang dagat papuntang Bacolod para mapanuod sila.

Sa madaling salita, purnada. Hindi ko nakamit ang "closure" na pinunta ko dun. Paano naman kasi, mahina ako eh. Madali akong mapaniwala sa mga pangako at matatamis na mga salita. Mahal ko pa kasi sya eh. At sa palagay ko... mas kailangan nya ako ngayon. Hindi ko sya makuhang iwanan talaga. Hindi ako makapag move on. Hindi ko kayang tapusin ang tambalang Lu-ly (Hindi Arroyo gaga! Luis-Ely!)

Na tinuruan mo ang puso ko na umibig ng tunay...

Medyo malungkot na sana ako kasi halos karamihan sa mga kantang nasa top ten ko ay hindi kinanta ng banda... Tindahan ni Aling Nena, Wag kang Matakot, Maselang Bahaghari at iba pa. Akala ko yun na yon. Sabi ni YJ, NJ at EllaB, na parang pagpapaliwanag, kasi kinanta na daw yung ibang kantan nung unang konsiyerto nila. Matapos mag paalam ng banda, at pagkaraang magsilabasan na ang mga tao, biglang may nagsalita sa mikropono.

"Bitin pa ba kami? Oo! Bitin pa kami!" At yun na nagsipaghangusan na pabalik ang mga tao para sa isang bonggang bonggang Encore.

Three for the road.

At dun ko napatunayan na mahal pa talaga ako ni Ely. Hindi pwedeng hindi nya kakantahin ang aming awiting dalawa... kanta nya nung sinusuyo pa lang ang aking probinsyanong puso.

Wag kang matakot, di mo ba alam nandito lang ako
sa iyong tabi, di kita pababayaan kailan man...


"sagutin mo lang ako aking Sinta'y walang humpay na ligaya, at asahang iibigin ka, sa tanghali sa gabi at umaga, wag ka sanang magtanong at mag duda, dahil ang puso ko'y walang pangamba, na tayo'y mabubuhay ng tahimik at buong.... HAPPINESS!"

Kaya lang, nangangamba ako. Hindi na ganun katikas at kagwapuhan ang aking mahal. ginugupo na sya ng panahon. Kung dati, kakaltukan ko at bubugbugin ko ang sino mang magsabi nito, ngayon, ako mismo, parang maniniwala na na nagiging magkamukha na sila ng isang TV Host na merong Lie Detector sa kanyang segment at nagsasayawsayaw sa pamosong linya nyang "Don't Lie To Me!"

Nagbago nang lahat sa yo oh huwoohoo

Isa pa sa pinangangambahan ko ngayon, na kahit hindi ko man tuluyang nakuha ang closure na yun, hindi rin kami pwedeng magsama muna. Kasi magkakagulo pag nagkataon. Pano naman kasi eh, may bago yatang tinitibok ang puso ko. Sa pagdaan kasi ng mga taon, hindi sya nagbabago. Ganun pa rin sya ka simple at napaka mababang loob lang. Walang ka ere ere. Sa lahat sa kanila, halatang nagpapasikat at may kanya kanyang "thing going on" na. Si Marcus at ang kanyang nevermind na humor, Si Raimond at ang kanayang bagong achuchurvakels na brand ng musika, at si Ely na binago na rin ng panahon. Sya lang ang pinaka nakikitaan ng tunay na galak talaga sa pagsama sama nilang muling magkabanda. Nasa mga ngiti at kislap ng kanyang mga mata ang kasiyahang hindi ko naramdaman at nakita sa ibang miyembro ng kanyang dating banda. Yes po. By way of deduction, sya na nga po. Kaya kailangan kaiiwas muna at baka tuluyang mabighani nya ako at maagaw ang aking puso sa kanyang kabanda.

Natulala ako, laglag ang puso ko...

SERIOUSLY NOW!

Sa kalagitnaan ng konsiyerto, nung tumugtog ang awiting ito, nagpakalayu layo muna ako sa grupo nila YJ kasi feeling ko, hindi ko talaga mapigilan ang pag flow ng tears ko sa kantang yun. Hagod na hagod at sapul na sapol ang pagod na puso ng Batchoy Boi. Hay!

"Kailan mo ako hahagkan, matagal na akong naghihintay..."

Maselang Bahaghari sa aking isipan
Wag kang mabahala di kita malilimutan
Paglipas ng ulan ay babawi ang araw
wag sanang mawala ang maselang bahaghari

Kailan nga ba? Nasan ka na nga ba talaga kasi? Antagal tagal tagal tagal mo naman kasing dumating na eh. Baka naman malabnaw na at malamig na sabaw ang dadatnan mo sa Batchoyan? How will I grow old with you if I'd do so waiting for you?

Tanginampakencheff naman kasi! KAILAN NGA BA! :p

Hot And Cold

There is this song that I like right now. It keeps playing in my head and I find myself humming or even belting it out whenever and wherever.

It's a danceable track from Katy Perry. Since I'm the Lit Guy, as usual, I fall for songs with great lyrics. That is why I'm such a fan of 80's music because of their solid lyrics. Basia, S.O.S, Wilson Phillips, Bananarama, Etc etc etc.

Actually the song doesn't show much on originality of message. I feel somehow that somewhere, what the song says has already been said before.

Ito yung song na tinutukoy ko. Love the danceable tune! Groove me!




I racked my brains for comparable songs and I remember Vina Morales singing "Sala sa Init, Sala sa Lamig."



Vina "The Hunk" Morales

How about the Sexbomb Dancer's "Laban O Bawi?"


Get Get AWWW!!!

But of course, sinong hindi nakakaalam neto?




Oh yes, I plead gulity as charged your honor. The Batchoy Boi is JOLOGS. Hehehehehe...
Move over Katy Perry... The Filipino's have been there been that!

Actually, I'm just trying to humor meself... Don't ask why... Sheesh!
