2 Guys, a Girl and a Pansitan Place

Nope, this isn’t a parody of the American sitcom, “2 Guys a Girl and a Pizza place”. This is a post about an attempt to watch the MTV Right to Royalty concert. Last Friday night my peeps and I (peepulation=2, JM and Xtiane) went to Taguig to watch the concert. As expected, like the fette we went to last time, the place was infested by, what JM affectionately calls, orcs (ba’t di nalng fighting uruk’ kai para mas astig?). Aside from that, we were so far away I could barely see a thing (at least sa fette kita parin ung mga tao sa stage). Some of the performers were okay. Rivermaya was there (pero ung last song nalng naabutan namin), so was Barbie, the Dawn (singing “Salamat”… ah the nostalgia), South Border (not really into them, think they cater to chicks), 7 Shots of Wisdom (cute nung isang chick nila)… Some of the performers… uhh not so okay. There was this ethnic music chick (I forget her name), AND SARAH GERONIMO and LASTIKMAN (Mark Bautista)!!! WTF were they doing there!? Besides, wasn’t the concert pro Intellectual property rights of artists for their songs? What business does Sarah “feeling diva” Geronimo have singing a cover/revival of “I wanna know what love is?” Syet! By the time Kuh Ledesma took the stage, we decided to call it quits (we could only take so much!). I kind of regretted it, ‘cause after Kuh Ledesma, Mr. Pure Energy himself (‘di ung ECE faculty ha) took the stage. I could here Gary V. belt out his classic hits like "Eto nanaman" and "‘di bale nalang" as we left the concert grounds (Old School! Kulang nalng c Martin Niverra, parang 80’s Kolehiyala killer days na!)…

After standing for 2 hours or so we were understandably hungry. We went around the place looking for a spot to eat. We couldn’t find one. We went around the strip place thingy (don’t know this place eh, sa food court lang ako ng star mall nag chi-chill! Hahaha!!), dami tao!! After going through the paces of thinking of a place to eat, pier 1 (dami tao dammit!), etu mama tambien (can’t believe they named a resto after a perverted movie), pizza hut, jollibee (katipunan food? Hell no!?), we decided to eat… well at Ado’s.

To those who don’t know, Ado’s is this pansitan in the heart of Pasig (malapit sa may San Joachin). Haha, punta punta pa kami sa Fort, sa Ado’s lang pala ang bagsak namin (how classy)!
Pero in fairness, apparently institution na ung Ado’s (50 years na daw, sabi ni Xtiane). So, there we were, twenty somethings eating pansit along with middle aged men and women at an ungodly hour in the morning while the rest of our age group were probably in restobars along Libis, the Fort, Malate or Tomas Morato (*sigh*), bouncin' to the beats of R. Kelly or somthin' (freakin' pedophile). But you know what? I had fun eating pansit with friends at 1 in the morning. Its not the place, its the company right (cheesy shit ampota)? Plus, sarap parin ng Lomi nila (may pandesal pa)! Solve ako!! :D

Boys Don't Cry... that Often

No, it’s not what you’re thinking. This is not another song post (to those who don’t know, the title of this post boys don’t cry is a song by the Cure, hence the possible wrong assumption that this post is a song post). What it is is another list. What can I say? It’s a Thursday (no classes for this sixth year ECE student) and I’m bored.

“Boys don’t Cry” is not just a song, it’s also a saying (the kind of thing your dad says to you when your at the grocery rolling around the floor wailing because he won’t get you Nestle Koko Crunch or something). It is a stereotype society imposes on me and my kind (were not supposed to be like girls who stereotypically cry their eyes at every opportunity they get). But the bottom line is, it just ain’t true! Boys DO cry! Not just very often…

So here’s a list of my most memorable or embarrassing moments in my life were I, mike the invincible man cried.

1. Umiyak ako when I was about 7 when I banged a door on my hand.
-Grabe! Umiyak ako dahil grabe talaga ang sakit! Sa Baguio pa kami nakatira no’n. Sobrang bigat nung pinto. Sobra dami dugo. Sabi ng dad ko, narinig daw ang iyak ko hanggang John Hay.

2. Umiyak ako when I was in grade 3. Nalaman ng dad ko na from top1 in class sa isang quarter, naging top 5 the next quarter.
-Shit! Ang nerd ko nung elementary ako. Dyahe (nabawi ko ung top one na un dammit!!)

3. Umiyak ako nung 1st tym ko makipagsapakan (grade four ata, pero di sa skul nangyari).
-Malamang umiyak ako. Talo ako eh (Ang laki ng p***ng ina!!).

4. Umiyak ako nung namatay si Optimus Prime sa Transformers the movie.
-NOOOOO!!! My hero! Si Super Idol! Namatay!! Hindi maaari!!

5. Umiyak ako nung namatay si Yellow 4 sa Bioman.
-Kung yung ibang boys dati, crush nila c Pink 5. Ako crush ko nun si Yellow
4 (ung photographer, hinde ung Indian wannabee). Stupid monster with the tommy gun. Why’d he have to kill her? I cried my eyes out.

6. Umiyak ako when I was about 12. Nasa States kami, uuwi na kami sa Pinas.
-Obvious ba? I didn’t want to go back to the stinkin’ hell hole that is the Philippines.

7. Umiyak ako nung binasted ako nung grade 7
-So what if I was 13?! So what if she was 3 years older then me? It still hurt dammit! Pero di ko ginawa in front of her! I went home, went to my room, locked the door and let the tears roll down. I remember my mom knocking on my door and I went "Leave me alone *sniff* *sniff*!!!). God, sobra pathetic...

8. Umiyak ako nung pinatay c Mel Gibson sa Braveheart
-FREEEDOOOOM!!! Buti nalng madilim sa sinehan.

9. Umiyak ako nung Highschool nung nag bonding kami magkakabarkada.
-To those that don’t know. All boys school ang LSM (highschool ko). Maybe it was the alchohol, o senti lng talaga kaming lahat. Bottom line: Soooo Gay!

10. Umiyak ako when I read these girly novels: A walk to Remember, A Love Story, Beach Music and a Sydney Sheldon book (don’t remember the title).
-What can I say? They pulled on my heart strings. *sniff*. Oh yeah, ung walk to remember, ke Kabo un, di ko pa sinosoli. Malamang si Kabo umiyak din sa book na un.

Lindsay Lohan Fully Loaded

Today, xtiane, jm and I went to laguna to get a "crash course" on RF IDs (yes, sad to say di parin kami gumagraduate *sigh*). We arrived there around 9:30 am and we were done by about 11:00 am. Sobra bilis lang! Why waste a perfectly good rainy day right? So we decided to watch a movie at Market Market (first time ko pumunta dun!). There weren't any good movies (watched the island and fantastic 4 already), so we ended up watching Herbie Fully Loaded.

Which brings me to my point... I realized Herbie wasn't the only one who was fully loaded. Is it just me or did Lindsay Lohan's boobies get... er... "Fully Loaded" as well (what is it with me and boobs these days dammit!?)? Sabi ni Tay nag pa boob job daw si Lindsay Lohan. It's probably true..'cause those things weren't fully loaded in her previous movies! She didn't have big boobies in parent trap!! Hehe!! Of course she was just twelve then... but what about freaky friday huh!? she wasn't packing when she did THAT movie... granted I didn't watch her other movies (like *mean/nasty girls *not sure sa title, or *confessions of a teen age drama queen *girlie movie = mike not watching it), but I saw the trailers and still, the same observation!!! Small Boobies Baby!!

Pero in fairness... bagay namn sa kanya ung boobs nya. And I think gumanda ulit sha. Pangit nya sobra sa mga music videos... parang addict, sobra payat. At least, ngayon cute ulit sha. Parang nung Parent Trap days nya... Nice smile, Flaming Red Hair, freckles. But now, she has big boobs!! My compliments to the silicon and the plastic surgeon!! Good job!!

Oh yeah? How was the movie? Being a disney movie, which means its a feel good, morally driven, experience directed at the whole family, and considering we were 3 twenty somthing 6th year ECE students snickering the whole time watching the said movie, and not to mention the fact that Lindsay Lohan was more fully loaded than herbie, i'd say the movie was worth it.

Drawing Comics and a Song Post

Passed by Comic Quest yesterday to check out some comic books I have no intention of buying. And as usual, I took a quick peep at the independent comics section. Again, as usual, being the egotistic, self confident, self centered, bragger that I am, I snorted to myself "These Suck!!". "Kaya ko gumawa ng masmagandang comics dito!!"

And seriously speaking, all braging aside, kaya ko talaga. I honestly think I can make a better comic than most of the Independent comics I see in the market. Than why don't I? Because I don't have freakin' discipline... Since grade school, I started about 7 comic books and I didn't finish a single one. Why? It was a combination of conceptualizing a comic on a scale so epic i couldn't finish it if I wanted to, losing interest and distractions (school work and a little PS2). Bottom line, I lacked discipline. I finished one series, but I had a tracer, I mean partner (hehe), plus he mostly took care of writing the dialogue. We made that series in five years!! And I think we created something that is probably better than 90+% of the independent comics out there (we're planning on releasing it of course). And now that it is over we're starting a new series. BUT, I ALSO want to start something and finish it on my own for once. I want to make a comic book that's all me!!

And that's what i'm planning to do. 18 pages (i'm starting small this time), i've got it all planned out. I'm planning on finishing this thing. And when its done, there's only two things that can happen. Its either I eat my words because I made a crappy comic book, or my egotistical bragging was right on the money all along. This time, I'm gonna stick it out 'til the end to find out.

--------

The follwoing lines have nothing to do with my ramblings above. I've been reading some of my friend's blogs recently, and I came across a couple of "Song Posts". Being the shameless copy cat that I am, gagaya din ako. Eto ang song post ko:

Friendship
Sponge Bob Square Pants

You don't need a plane to fly
Plastic wings can make you cry
Kites are made for windy days
Lawn chair with baloons, fly away!

Oh Inflatable pants!!
You may as well see!!
If you want to fly
All you need... Is friendship
Yeah

What if a Harry Potter movie was directed by...

The next Harry Potter movie (the goblet of fire) is coming out soon. The first two were directed by chris columbus who failed miserably at bringing the books into the big screen. Next was that e tu mama tambien guy (cuaron) who directed azkaban, he did a better job, but he too, in my opinion failed. So I thought, what if 3 of hollywood's most famous directors took a crack at making a Harry Potter Movie, what would happen?

So here's the scenario, Harry Potter and Voldemort are about to fulfill "the prophecy". With all the death eaters watching, Harry Potter and "He-who-must-not-be-named" will battle to the death. Given this scenario, lets see how the directors handle the scene. And oh yeah, since they are such big shots, let's assume these directors screwed JK Rowling and wrote their own script. haha!

Lets get down to it...

What if a Harry Potter movie was directed by George Lucas?

Movie Title: Harry Potter Episode 7: Return of the Wizard

Lord Voldemort is played by a tall man in a black suit. He wears a mask to hide his disfigured face. You can distinctly hear his breathing. He is voiced by James Earl Jones.

Script:
(Voldemort and Harry Potter are on a hanging bridge perched upon a bottomless chasm)

Voldemort: I see Sirius has taught you well young Potter...

(Voldemort and Harry duel, they fire spells left and right. Harry's spells are blue in color, while voldemort's are red)

(after some lame fight sequences... harry gets his hand chopped off)

Voldemort: Join me Harry! Together... we will rule the wizarding world!!
Harry: Never!!! I will never join you!!! Y-You killed my father!!!
Voldemort: Harry... I AM your FATHER!!!
Harry: NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Voldemort: Search your feelings Harry... you know it to be true!
Harry: That's not true! That's impossible!!

end scene

Here's the second one...

What if a Harry Potter movie was directed by the Wachowski brothers (the guys who made the matrix)?

Movie Title: Harry Potter Revolutions

Lord Voldemort is played by Hugo Weaving

Script:
(It is night time. It is raining. Harry and Voldemort are in an abandoned city street. With Death Eaters on both sides watching, Harry and Voldemort meet)

Voldemort: Mr. Potter... welcome back. We... missed you. Do you like what I've done with the place?
Harry: It ends tonight.
Voldemort: I know it does! I have seen it! That's why my Death Eaters are just watching! They know that I'm the one that beats you!!

(A Staredown insues. The Orchestra music swells to a fevered pitch. Harry and Voldemort run towards each other, wands firing, in slow motion. They throw their wands away and start kung-fu fighting. They fight on the street, they fight inside abandoned buildings, they fight in the air! Lots of Bullet time shots)

end scene

and finally...

What if a Harry Potter Movie was directed by Quintin Tarantino?

Movie Title: Harry Potter Vol. 7

Voldemort is played by Samuel L. Jackson
Bellatrix Lestrange is played by a Japanese school girl with a ball 'n chain

Script:
(Harry attacks Voldemorts hide out. He does battle with the Death Eaters 88. A gory battle occurs, where in the aftermath, countless Death Eaters lie dead and bloodied. Some of them have arms, legs and heads cut off, blood spurting out like water from a hose from the open wounds. Voldemort appears in the balcony)

Harry: Anymore subordinates to kill?
Voldemort: Silly little motherf***ing boy wants to play with a motherf***ing wand...

(Bellatrix Lestrange comes down some steps in a school girl outfit. Harry eventually kills her. Harry and Voldemort move to a Japanese garden with fake snow all around them. They battle)

Harry: You stupid MOTHERF***ER!! YOU KILLED MY MOTHERF***ING PARENTS!! IM GONNA MOTHERF***ING KILL YOU!!
Voldemort: I'd like to see you try you MOTHERF***ER! I'M THE MOST BAD ASS MOTHERF***ING WIZARD IN GOD'S GREEN EARTH! YA THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME YOU MOTHERF***ER!?
Harry: Who are you calling a MOTHERF***ER MOTHERF***ER!?
Voldemort: You MOTHERF***ER!! Crucio!!!

(Harry gets hit by the spell and screams in pain)

Harry: MOTHERF***ER!!!! That MOTHERF***ING hurts!!!
Voldemort: Yeah... That's right! SCREAM MOTHERF***ER!!!! Scream for your MOTHERF***ING mommy and daddy!!!
Harry: You MOTHERF***ER!!!! AVADA F***IN' KEDAVARA!!!!!

(Voldemort gets hit, and crumples to the ground)

end scene

The Island

I watched the movie last night. ASTIG!!! LUPIT!!! It's one of the best movies I've watched this year (Its up there with Batman Begins and Sin City)!! After ung crap of a movie that Pearl Harbor was, nakagawa c Michael Bay ng malupit na movie experience that is The Island. What can you expect? Well a Michael Bay movie = Lots of Panoramic Shots, Lots of action which means, things exploding, cars tumbling around and lots of special effects. But this time, he has a great story to go along with all the eye candy.

The Island takes up the same topic and moral questions that Sixth Day did (cloning), but did way better than Arnold's crap 'o rama. Instead of an old , grotesquely muscle bounded california governor, you get a padawan obiwan looking ewan mcgregor (who I think is a better leading guy compared to that idiotic ben affleck and faggoty josh "cry baby" Hartnett of Pearl Harbor) and Scarlet Johansson.

Which brings me to my next point. If you don't think the explosions, special effects and a good story are not good enough reasons to watch the movie, here's another: Scarlet Johansson. She is HOT!! Para shang Jessica Alba and Charlize Theron (tama ba spelling?) rolled into one, hot mikealicious momma! I want to father her babies!!!

Watch the movie! 'di kayo magsisisi...

The Top 10 Unanswered Questions of My Generation

While I was trying with all my effort to listen to Mr. Tehido (my TH 141 teacher) yesterday afternoon, a classmate of mine (di ko alam kung sino, I don’t know anyone in the ateneo anymore!!!) commented on something by Thomas Aquinas (probably his proofs of the existence of God). I’m not going to get in to the comments made (don’t worry, wala ko balak mag mukhang nerd), but what caught my attention was part of my teacher’s response. “There are questions that cannot be answered clearly yada yada yada… yackity shcmackity…” This thought, like so many random stuff, caused my mind to wander, not aimlessly though, not this time. The thought gave me an idea for a list. Here it is..

The Top 10 Unanswered Questions of My Generation

Description:
Here is my list of what I think are questions (relevant or not... mostly not relevant) that my generation can relate to. These are questions that have not been answered because:

c. answering such ridiculous questions is a complete waste of time....

Harry Potter Marathon!!!

Just finished Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I got the book at around 10:30 this morning. Considering It is now around 12:30 in the morning the next day... I have been reading for roughly 14 hours, stopping only to eat lunch and dinner... The ordeal has left my eyes stinging, my head hurting and my stomach grumbling... Was it worth it?

Well... I'd have to say yes. Reading the half blood prince reminded me why i enjoyed reading the Harry Potter books. It made me forget that book 5 ever happened. I remember i read through all the Harry Potter books in one day... except the 5th one. It took me a whole week to read the 5th book. And I was pleasantly surprised at finding I couldn't stop reading the sixth until i'd finished! Ah the nostalgia. The 5th book is nothing more than a nightmare.

Off course I don't want to write down any spoilers (depressing magbasa ng spoilers!!!) But, safe to say, I enjoyed the books steady pace and its twist and turns... I especially liked the fact that harry isn't written as the very whiny protagonist he was in the 5th book. I also ejoyed Harry's new romantic relationship... It's was so Spiderman!

Over all, I liked Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince as much as the 4th book, which I think is second best in the series. Azkaban is still the best of the six.

Crossing my fingers for the 7th book (Sana Maganda rin Dammit!!! Dami ko ng pinuhunan sa series na to... Pag pangit madedepress ako!).

Big Boobies!!!

This happened a week back or so...
One Saturday, my tito invited me to tag along with him to one of his lunch meetings with one of his clients. I don't know why he invited me, maybe he just wanted to take advantage of his client, who was paying for the food, or most probably he just wanted someone to drive him to the place. But regardless, I readily agreed. "Free food is always good food" i always say,
The lunch meeting was in albas (that spanish eat all you can place in Eastwood. We (me, my tito and tita) got there early and i eagerly stuffed my face with food! Then, his client came. She too wasn't alone. She brought some family, at least i think they were. Anyways, this one girl really caught my attention (this girl i later found out was the client's daughter). She wasn't easy on the eyes, but she had the biggest set of mammary glands i've seen... EVER! They were humungous! Gargantuan! Enormous! They were very, very, very large!! Plus, she was wearing clothing that "accentuated" her.... umm assets.
She sat across from me and despite my best efforts. I couldn't help but ogle at them! They were mezmerising to say the least! I couldn't help it, I was hypnotized by those... things. They had their own gravitational pull. Needless to say, i was so distracted by this display, that i had a hard time eating. Its not that i was attracted to her, like i said, she wasn't really easy on the eyes. I was just so damn distracted!!! The whole time I was there, I willed myself not to stare, plus i hoped that the people around me didn't notice how uncomfortable i was...
Well they did. My tito and tita at least. On the way home, i couldn't help notice the two of them grinning at me. Until tita Marilyn broke the ice and accused me of staring at the girl's breasts... Nobody talked for a while. Total silence. I didn't know what to say. I just stammered...
"B-but...but they were soooo big!"
And we all started laughing are asses off all the way home! Yes! in my family, elders don't berrate us young guys for ogling at girl's love handles... they compound the wrong doing with a sizeble amount of mirth and laughter!! Never have i been prouder of my heritage...

Riding the Bandwagon

Hello!!!

As of late, ang dami na sa mga friends ko gumagawa ng blog. C xtiane, martin and JM, anak ng, pati narin c Tay and Charles na dapat nagtratrabaho, nag blog. Get to work Lazy Bums!!! (kala ko panay pagdownload ng porn inaatupag ni Tay... guess i was wrong). So, since i don't have anything better to do (with my 2 very boring classes this sem), why not make my own blog i thought to myself.

So here it is. Mike once again joining the Bandwagon.

This blog will contain 3 general types of threads

1. Would be stuff that happened to me recently... Since i'm currently living a VERY BORING existence, don't expect anything much here.

2. Stuff that happened before. Mike Classics!!! Back when life was fun! Nung Elementary! Nung High School! Nung College and di pa nag graduate mga friendly friends ko. Funny Stories like ung underwear incident ni Lem or ung blue eagle story namin ni Darn.

3. Mike's Rambling's about Movies, Comic books and anything under the sun (pagbigyan nyo na ko pls?).

Mike's Blog is Open!

This post is a test....

i repeat, it is a test. nothing of interest is written as of yet.
