ang payat payat na ni armi! woohoo. wolf whistles!!!

Anong gagawin mo pagkatapos ng shoot sa Ultra, rush hour, at wala kang masakyan pauwi? Gaya ng nakagawian, magpunta sa megamall para mag-ubos ng konting oras. Kumain ng Beef Pinatubo Jamaican Patty, mag-order ng P 40 na cappuccino sa Red Ribbon dahil kapeng-kape ka na ng disenteng kape at mahal sa Starbucks. Buklatin ang librong inorder mo sa Powerbooks, yung nakita mo dalawang taon na ang nakararaan ngunit ngayon mo lang napagdesisyonang bilhin.


Basahin ang mga kataga--tahimik, pume-pacing ngunit hitik sa kahulugan. Ngumiti habang umiiling. Minsan ka lang maaliw sa nasusulat na salita. Maya-maya lumabas ka na papuntang sakayan. Mahaba nanaman ang pila ngunit di tulad ng dati, tama lang ang takbo ng oras. Pabugso-bugso ang iyong hakbang ngunit wala kang problemang humanay sa tamang hanay. Naisip mong huwag nang tumangkilik sa mga sasakyang wala ding disiplina sa pagpila. Nagmamadali kang umuwi, nagmamadali siyang kumita. Malamang sa malamang magkaka-kontratahan. May kasunduang magaganap pero ang ending, may isa sa inyo uuwing iniisip na nalamangan siya ng isa. Hindi, dito ka nalang sa pila.

So I found myself watching prenup videos last night for no particular reason. Or maybe I had a reason... I watched someone's video and clicked and clicked and clicked on and the next thing I know I'd spent 3 hours on different websites.

I have mixed feelings about these two by Mayad Studios. My first reaction was, "OMG! Really? Ganitong level na? WTF?!"... and then I was overcome by a sudden feeling to try my hand at doing videos. Caladryl the creative itch! GASTOS!!! Hahaha.

De Beers Commercial much?

Gladiator!!! No wait.... Eh? Banking and insurance company ad?

*more videos here*

yes, of course. i'd love a bed with a view too.

"We have our own God. We are taken cared of…somehow...even when you are at an edge, putang ina, you think, wala na (there is nothing anymore!) then, ‘tang ina, meron! You push yourself to the edge, you feel alive." -- Alex Baluyut, photographer.

you sing, you paint, you write. some people dance. we're made of the same stuff.

I have nothing to confess.
That is the moon. Here
is my glass. They both
darken the more I speak.
And I rise. Struck down
by more poems than women.
Sinking into the page
to grab a drink and lift it
to my lips. I have a hymn.
I rise with that hymn
and curse at the stars.
That is how I love. Sending
all my loudest howls
into a vacuum. I invent
other names for despair.
Flower. Canvas. Century.
I own nothing of value
but gratitude. Thank you,
moon. Thank you, drink.
Thank you, darkness, for
nothing. Nothing is the best
place to drink in. Nothing
is the opposite of silence.
Nothing is a lion. And I am
a wolf. Caged in the world.
Embracing its inhabitants.
That god damn moon.

- Old Dog and Scotch, Rafael San Diego
