Goodbye, January...

It's the time...
To bid you farewell...
But I want you to remember all the days we had...
From the long rainy days under a dead Sycamore tree...
To the surprisingly short summer nights beside the shore...

Too sad that your stay is short...
How I wish I can relive the days that I was with you...
From short giggles to long laughs...
And from second-long cries to hour-long weeping...

I'm going to miss you...
And I'm sure you'll miss me to...
Don't worry...
We'll see each other again...

Time to go now...
Just close your eyes...
From there on you'll be going somewhere else...
And when you open it up again...
We're gone...

Oranges and Lemonades

This day is unsurprisngly slow... I did nothing but sit infornt of the PC all day while eating my grandmother's oranges and my tasteless lemonades...

This post isn't about Oranges and Lemonades actually... it's all about the clichés in Pinoy Action movies... so without further ado(shit), here's 'the-shit-without-a-title-since-Kenneth's-too-lazy-to-formulate-a-single-title'...

cliché # 1: Umiikot and istorya sa paghihiganti.
reason: kasi dun lang makarelate ang mga tindero't tinderang madalas utangan at hinde nababayaran...

cliché # 2: Ni-rape ang kapatid ng bida o pinatay ang kamaganak n'ya(nanay, tatay, ate, kuya, kinakapatid, kabiyak, syota, kulasisi, anak, pinsan, tiyo, tiya, lolo, lola, ninong, ninang, apo, apo sa tuhod, apo sa talampakan, ninuno)
reason: kasi mas maayos ang rason ng kanyang paghihiganti kung ganun ang nang-yari

cliché # 3: Isa sa mga eksena e babastusin ang bida, o ang syota n'ya, ng mga nag-iinumang istambay.
reason: kasi ang mga lasing kahit sino na ang pinagtritripan!

cliché # 4: Magkakagulo sa isang okasyon (kaarawan, kasal, binyag, burol).
reason: para madaling mang-gulo ang kontrabida... kasi rin mas maraming madadamay sa ganung scenario

cliché # 5: Hinde nakakaramdam ng sakit ang bida sa bakbakan, pero sisigaw ito at aaray pag ginagamot na ng leading lay ang mga sugat n'ya.
reason: nag-eenjoy pa kasi ang bida sa laban nila...

cliché # 6: Pag narinig mong tumawa ang isang character nang "bwahahahahaha," autoatic, kontrabida 'yon.
reason: kasi ang tawang 'ahihihihi'/'teehee' ay pang babae; 'hohohohohoho' pang Santa Clause; 'nyahahahaha' ay para sa mga goblins at ang kanyang mga kamaganak; 'hehehehe' ay tawang pilit; 'hahahahaha' ay natatawa dahil sa joke; 'harharharharharhar' ay para sa mga pirata...

cliché # 7: Pag may gagawing masama, tumatawa ang kontrabida. Kahit habang nanggagahasa.
reason: kasi ibang usapan na kung orgasm ang lumalabas sa bibig ng kontrabida...

cliché # 8: Smoker at mabisyo lagi ang kontrabida.
reason: kasi ang sigarilyo at bisyo ay dahilan sa kanyang pagiging masama...

cliché # 9: Mahilig sa leather jacket and kontrabida. Kahit buwan ng Abril at tanghaling tapat.
reason: para naman hinde masabing cheap ang kontrabida...

cliché # 10: Ang Structure ng mga kalaban: Ang Boss at ang kanyang "mga bata"
reason: kasi wala namang paki ang mga pinoy sa mga henchmans at kung anu-ano pa... gusto nila ng aksyon!

cliché # 11: Ang kuta ng kalaban e sa warehouse o malaking bahay.
reason: Para hinde na makaabala sa mga tao na nasa public places... at para na rin na walang mga taong nag-h-hi sa camera.

cliché # 12: Lagi ding may eksena sa isang beer house.
reason: kasi mas maraming pinoy ang pumupunta sa beer house kaysa sa isang club.

cliché # 13:May seksing leading lady at may bed scene na pwedeng ikwnto sa Abante.
reason: may deal kasi ang Abante at ang mga direktor ng mga ganyang films...

cliché # 14: Pagkatapos ng nagbabagang bed scene ay mahinhin ulit ang leading lady.
reason: lumalabas ang true side ng babae sa isang bed scene.

cliché # 15: Marunong sa bakbakan ang babae, at kung isa ng lalake lang naman e kayang-kaya nitong patumbahin.
reason: sinong pinoy ang hinde?

cliché # 16: Kung mako-corner ang bida, hindi ito papatayin, ikukulong lang at papahirapan, dahil lagi s'yang gustong mahuli nang buhay ng big boss.
reason: kasi sadista dapat ang role ng isang big boss sa isang Pinoy Action Movie...

cliché # 17: Pagdating sa big boss, papatayin din s'ya, pinatagal lang ng konti.
reason: kasi may lahing Japanese ang direktor... tingnan nyo ung death march!

cliché # 18: Mag-uusap ang bida at ang mortal na kalaban nito habang nagtututukan ng baril... mahabang pag-uusap, parang balagtasan, tila baga mag-syotang nasa telepono.
reason: mga peace loving people ang mga pinoy... peace!

cliché # 19: May malakas na pagpapasabog kahit hinde naman kailangan.
reason: wala naman kasing Audio Equipment school dito sa pinas!

cliché # 20: Walang malakas na pagsabog kahit na kailangan.
reason: kasi limited lang ang mga sounds na iyon... nagamit na ng mga Sound FX crew ang sound na pagsabog sa mga hinde kailangan.

cliché # 21: Mura lang ang baril aat pwede itong itapon kung wala nang bala.
reason: mahal kasi ang magazine.

cliché # 22: Makakapulot ang bida ng baril na may bala tuwing kinakailangan.
reason: pumepwesto kasi ang bida sa mga mababaril na lugar.

cliché # 23: Marunong at asintado sa baril ang leading lady kahit na hindi pa s'ya nakakahawak nito sa buong buhay n'ya.
reason: beginner's luck?

cliché # 24: Kaya ng dalawangpung tao sa bakbakan dahil hindi naman sila sumusugod ng sabay-sabay, laging isa-isa, parang nagsasayaw.
reason: kasi pag sabay-sabay sumugod ang mga kontrabida sa kanya eh hinde na makikita ng camera ang mga pangyayari.

cliché # 25: Hindi tinatamaan ng bala ang bida kahit na tatlumpung tao ang bumabaril sa kanya, pero lahat sila tinatamaan nya.
reason: kasi nakakhiya kung mapapatay ka ng 'mga bata'...

cliché # 26: Tamaan man s'ya ng bala ay laging daplis lang... bawal sa ulo o sa puso.
reason: kasi magalaw ang mga kamay ng 'mga bata'...

cliché # 27: Siyam ang buhay ng bida.
reason: kasi mahilig sa siopao ang bida

cliché # 28: Doble pa nito ang buhay ng leading lady.
reason: laing The Siopao Factory ang lugar na piagdadatan ng leading lady at ng bida

cliché # 29: Kung mamamatay man ang isa sa kanila e makakapagsalita pa ito ng isang page ng script bago malagutan ng hininga.
reason: kasi kadalasang walang sequel ang mga movies na may ganung eksena... kaya linulubos na nga mga malalagutan ng hininga ang kanilang oras sa mundo...

cliché # 30: Pagkatapos pakinggan ang farewell speech, titingala ang naulila at isisigaw ang pangalan ng namatay.
reason: alanga naman na sa kanan o kaliwa o sa likod siya tumingin... at ampangit naman pakingan kung isisigaw ng namatayan ay:'tae!'... pwede rin naman isigaw ang: 'hinde!'...

cliché # 31: Pero hindi lubusang nagiging ulila ang bida dahil kadalasan itong merong spare na partner.
reason: ganun naman mga pinoy diba? mga playboy't playgirl...

cliché # 32: Huling darating ang maraming pulis at didiretso agad sila sa pag-aaresto sa mga kalaban. Oo, parang may palatandaan sila kung sino ang mga kalaban... at wala silang pakialam sa bida, kahit na sangkot ito sa riot!
reason: hinde talaga totoong late sila dumating... andyan na talaga sila... pinanood lang nila ang bakbakan para hinde na sila mag sayang ng bala at enerhiya...

*alam kong korny ang post na ito... basta... maki-ride na lang kayo!

I Look For Trees

As funny as it may seems,
I always look for trees.
Like a dome that protects the weary,
To help us look things clearly...

I observe them, I study them, I want them.
But I can never penetrate the powerful barrier that prevents me from touching them.
I can only look at it and feel envy as I watch the squirrels that dwell within it;
And I wonder 'How can they be with it'?

Still I keep searching;
I here in the cold, cruel, prairie - surviving.
I can't show the creatures that I am crying;
Because if they learn about my weaknesses, they'll be laughing.

Why can't I be orphaned by the trees that I long for?
Why can't any creature accept me in their homes?
Why can't I even make a tree myself?
Am I supposed to suffer like this?!

Yes, there are forsaken creatures like me,
But they can't even touch a seedling!
The wolves that visit us are full of greed!
Hence, making us Nature's lonley beings.

I dread that I will also end up like them;
Their flesh consumed by the maggots and leaving the bones to the Devil's den.
There's something wrong with me,
I can't let this be,
I must be free!

Now the bats join us,
But the difference is, they can touch the trees.
They can join the happy weeds,
And take the creatures that dwells in the tree.

As we, the forsaken beings, grow;
The truth begins to show.
That our exsitence isn't made for fruits that you, the happy ones, eat.
But it is made for the thing we do everyday;
And it is surviving.

*the poem's message isn't simply just about survival... there's something more PERSONAL

The Moon Sets Early Tonight *sigh*

Birthday Report-

I know this would look stupid if I put a birthday report here... who would read it anyway! I myself doesn't care about others birthdays(maybe beacuse im selfish)... but who cares!

Today- ahem- Yesterday was a strange day... It was like a day of new things... what are those things? first; I got massaged by a Blind Masseur! second; I spent about 5,000 pesos today! third; I got a The Sims Complete Collection CD for a price of a single game(which is 1,995 pesos)! fourth; I got a The Sandman book from Power Books(which costs 1,750 pesos)! fifth; I got an 80 gig Hard Disk for 2,000 pesos!

This day is so cool(sorry for using the word 'cool' here)... well it's already April 8... I guess it's back to living a normal life then...

AS THE SUN RISES-

I kept my self awake by watching MTV and Jack TV... my eyes kinda feels heavy... I needed sleep that time... But I have to do my yearly practice...

When I got to school I hated every second of my stay there... why? because I remembered all of my miserable moments in that school... It's kinda strange since I never felt that way about the school since now...

I got the letter and thank God I passed(two months of me and the computer)... I was with my mom at that time(she had the 125 dollars)... Next we had our breakfast at Chowking in the Tikling branch...

We had our grocery in the Big R(it's not that big)... and we had a massage there... after the massage my stomach felt as if it's trying to explode(I still feel it now)... We made our maid take the groceries home so we can go to SM without anything to carry...

SM, WHERE THE RICH AND THE MIDDLE CLASS MEET-

When we entered SM there was one thing on my mind that time... and it was the Cyber Zone... I was planning to buy a Nintendo DS(since she doesn't want to buy me a PS2)... but then it was 10k, and I only had 6k! So I bought the The Sims Complete Collection...

Ater that I went to the floor where there was full of artworks... I saw Danny Sillada's Mystery of The Cross... and I kinda felt the message that Danny Sillada was trying to say... I was supposed to go to Tower Records when a nice looking girl(it means cute in my terms) looking at me... we stared at each other as she was going up the escalator and I was going down... I sensed that she was a normal person with a touch of rockerness... she looked like a young adult, while I looked like an ex-con...

I bought Neil Gaiman's The Sandman in Power Books(I bought the Documentary type)... and we went to our cousins in Sta. Ana...

A SHORT STAY IN STA. ANA-

I felt bored at that place so I went to a nearby computer shop... I felt paranoid while I walked through the busy streets full of vendors of food and pirated movies and music... why would I feel paranoid? Because a dude in that area got mad at me because I laughed at him when he stepped on dog poop(I thought that he didn't noticed my laugh)... after that I felt fear in every step I take in the urban jungle of Sta. Ana...

When Boredom Strikes...

I can't think of anything right now but Danny Sillada's Mystery of The Cross... I just saw that work in one art store in the SM Megamall... You can see that work through this link:http://philartnews.blogspot.com/(I can't upload tha freaking picture!)... Since we're in the Danny Sillada topic, might as well discuss about his works...

Paintings-
This is Danny Sillada's Garbage City...
Colored Pencil on paper...

If you ask my opinion about that picture... I can say... ummm... actually... i'm not the artsy type... and im a newbie on painting interpretation... I think it's what life is supposed to be... harsh and hopless... we only survive on hope... hope for a better future, hope for better life... and the products of hope are the things that keeps us going... I know I suck at interpreting that stuff... but just ride with it!

Danny Sillada's Behind the Mask I
Pancil and acrylic on canvas













The first time I saw this painting I was like "whoa, is this my work-to-be?!"... because the blood coming out from the eye hole shows that he feels pain behind that mask... and if you noticed the right part is transfroming to something else... meaning he is removing the mask... showing his true self... of all the works that Danny Sillada made, this is the work that I can really relate myself with...

BEHIND THE MASK
How can I hide this abysmal darkness,
this gnawing pain and misery inside…

How long will I put on the mask
and tell the world that my life is brimmingwith passion and meaning…
How long will I hold on to the lament of my soulamid the poignant forms and colors of my artwithout losing my sanity or my reason to live…
It is so cold in here…here…inside this shivering and orphaned soul…

First Post...

FIRST THOUGHTS-

Well this is new... I'm making a new blog since my Friendster blog was dying on me... at least now I have freedom to type anything my mind wants to...

Another reason why I am changing blogs is; Friendster isn't made for blogging! And they're making things worse by adding advertisments in your recent posts! Damn! What a ripoff!

My blog would probably evolve(in time)... and I hope no 2nd year kid would even read this... that's why I won't promote my blog that much(but i'd still be promoting it)... I hope it would kick not only asses but also balls...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME-
Right now i'm doing my yearly ritual... that is Sleep Deprivation... I would try to do it for two or three days... right now i'm feeling sleepy I probably won't last that long...

I would get my deliberation letter later... I hope I won't go through Summer Classes(that would even make my birthday suck more)... actually this is one of the best birthdays I had... I got $125, 2 Xbox 360 games, our PC was fixed(I consider it as a gift), a Barcelona shirt, a Paramita shirt and a bottle of Virgin Coconut Oil... I would probably get more(I hope)...

I hope I won't be going through a mini-party later... like what happened last year... they bought me a cake and cooked some food... I want a nice, quiet(some of you won't conside it as quiet) time with my PC... honestly I want to have a celebration... problem is I would just be ignored... and I don't want that to happen!

SUMMER PLANS, PT. 1-

I am a person who doesn't want to travel, so I would probably stay here in my own little imaginary world... I'll probably try to mingle with kids I haven't mingled with... there is Bien, Keno, Hennessy(after all those months!) and other kids I can only speak through a machine...

I also want to imprison myself in this glass world I live in... so I can change after that... I really want to change... either for good or worse...

THE BIG WORD WE CALL 'LOVE'-

Since I won't be doing that much tonight I guess I could try to mess up things... I'd be putting a segment like this(hey, this segment won't appear that much!) to pass the time...

If you ask me who my crush is... I would answer Wawi Navarroza... Yeah, Wawi Navarroza... the vocalist of the band called 'The Late Isabel'... she's also a photog- ahem- visual poet... if you would ask me why... well, I find he strangely cute(cute is my term for beautiful)... I also like her art(which is photography and music... dancing? we'll see)... thats a turn on...

Then you would probably ask what I want in a girl... well, I'm looking for a girl who has a certain talent that would never cease to amaze me... also I want a girl who has a brain and has the word 'desicions' in her vocabulary... I don't want a girl who usually follow trends(so she can still follow trends)... I also want a girl who likes art and philosophy(well... philiosophy would be optional... hehehe)... and I also want a girl who has a good sense of humor... and looks would be my final requirment(yup! I'm not looking for an outrageously cute girl or a crush-ng-bayan)

You might be thinking i'm too cocky to post a part like that... I don't posess good looks(or even good personality)... why would I write the requirment for my dreamgirl... as if someone likes me anyway... but who the hell are you to destroy my citadel!

FINAL WORDS-

This is also weird... putting up a final words part in my post... but who cares! it's my blog and I can do anything with it!

I hope I can find a website that gives templates for my blog... my template suck... and I hope kids won't smoke too much... it's dangerous to your health!

This is the Machine, Polysaccharide, signing off!

- exercise your right to be weird!
