February 23, 2013
I went on a one-man date and i think it wasn’t that bad at all, although it sucked that i was the only human rollin solo on the street
I did not let that shit spoil my day, however. Muhahahaha :(
I first made a trip to UP Diliman because although i did invite my friends i did so at the last minute, and the uni of my dreams was the first thing that popped into my mind because laksjfklasdjf i don’t know. I spent my time there craving for pistachio ice cream but i was not able to have some since i was not very willing to spend the last bit of my allowance on anything—my mum didn’t give me additional baon for tonight’s run and i think that’s okay since i’ve already made her pay for the the run’s registration fee
Ang bait kong anak huhu
I then decided that i’d drop by the legendary Maginhawa Street, so i took a jeepney ride to C.P. Garcia’s butt end and walked the smoke-ridden suburban until i thought i was lost. I really thought i was. Suddenly a street sign proclaiming that i’ve reached my destination materialized in front of me and boy was i glad that it did huhu
Maginhawa Street probably is the yummiest-smelling street i’ve ever strolled on. Everywhere i looked there were restaurants and coffee shops and grills and milk tea houses. I didn’t know exactly why i went there, but since i was not in the mood to eat, i decided to look for this legendary bookstore that sells pre-loved reads—Bookay Ukay. I hiked the length of Maginhawa Street three times—i am one to overflow with diligence when it comes to bargain shit kasi sorry naman ha. Finally, i gave up treasure hunting on my own, so i asked for the help of some tricycle drivers. Turns out dalawang beses ko na pala nadaanan yung shop. Sarado lang
Kaya pagdating sa bahay negra na ako
So anyway
I’ve recently gained lots of weight, but i’ve made a decision to binge out of frustration. So i came upon this restaurant that offers healthy and affordable chows—Fresh Selections
I had an order of fresh lumpia and a glass of freshly brewed iced tea. I do not know a lot about tea, but if by freshly brewed they meant a non-opaque yellow liquid and a cannot-be-diluted-by-water sweetness, then i think they’re doing a great job. The fresh lumpia is so plump that the wrapper was almost not able to hold it in. It was a deviation from the usual fresh lumpia—this one had tofu and rice crisps and non-sweet sugar (what???) in it. I swear it’s the yummiest fresh lumpia i’ve had by far, i swear! Tapos i only had to pay P90 for the whole deal hihi victory!
K
Since i had no money to go deli-hopping that afternoon, i decided to go naman to Robinsons Magnolia since everybody stopped talking about it already. All i can say is that it is a mall for laking-aircon couples only. It’s small, but the shops carry the usual Ayala Mall vibe. The best askdfjasldks about it i think are
- that it has individual boutiques for Keds and Speedo
- its Toy ‘r’ Us houses more kinds of toys than other Toys ‘r’ Us branches i’ve set foot on
- Sugarhouse and Ramenhouse ! ! !
- Saint’s Alp
- Mochicream
- the fact that it houses a Magnolia ice cream parlour at its backyard omg
I think i need to get into a relationship
This is sad
Okay
So
I decided to go to UST since i was to meet up with Char and her friends there, but since i went a little too early, i had snacks at KFC Dapitan first. And for the first time i did not get lost. Wow
Still frustrated, i pre-forgave myself to violate my pescetarian diet. And so i had chicken. Tapos lalo pa akong na-frustrate. Wow ulit
I then met up with Char and she introduced me to her friends, tapos we went to BGC na for the run
One-man dates are sad. People should enjoy stuff with people
firsts
- trip to Maginhawa Street
- trip to Robinsons Magnolia
- trip to KFC Dapitan without getting lost
- trip to BGC with a bunch of people i do not know
- running event EVER
Film junkie society
THE THOUGHT OF A SUPER FOREVER ALONE CAT-LADY LIFE RANDOMLY GETTING JAMMED IN MY BRAIN INNARDS WHILE WATCHING FILMS ALONE IS NEVER ALWAYS A BAD THING YA’LL
My mind is a galaxy of ideas waiting to materialize, and i know i almost always fail to help them get into our spectrum, but that will soon be a thing of the past
I swear
So today i have to impart to the universe this one great idea that shot out of a canister of stik-o and punched me right in the face just as a piece of wafer stick flew into my mouth
Hoorah
So
Watching films of all sorts turned into one of my biggest hobbies some time last year, and i usually get frustrated whenever people stop listening to my mouthfuls just because they could not relate anymore. From time to time i get the urge to watch only the stuff everyone knew just so a conversation would materialize, but frustration will then befriend me—low-budget shit and jurassic timeless shit are hot shit and i hate how a huge-ass chunk of the universe was missing out on so much cool shit. People should know that
And although i do enjoy watching cool rad shit in solitude, there come times when watching without company saddens me—i want to laugh with people and sing with people and cry with people and dance with people and exchange cheesy movie lines with people too. Loneliness is an abominable feeling most of the time. People know that already
So i think i’d like a huge chunk of my community to experience one of the most wonderful things in the world: FILMS AND MORE FILMS! LIKE MORE MORE FILMS
So i think i’ll hold screenings at my school every month
Tapos every other week
Tapos every week na oh my god
There’ll be like four categories—foreign indie, foreign mainstream, local indie, saka local mainstream
And i do not know where to get my stash of local indie
I repeat: i do not know where to get my stash of local indie
HELP
Once this thing grows i think i would also like people to make films
And beautify the whole universe with all those sexy reels
SO HELP

New Earth World Superclub
Balibago, Angeles City
Last Tuesday February 5th, UP Business Management Society's La Fashionista 2013 was held. This years theme was carnival-esque jazz
I wasn't able to enjoy much of it because our confraternity entered the freakin contest and i was chosen as lé designer, so i had to fly off to the backstage every now and then. I was almost tempted to take off my shittin shoez ugh but that's fine i guess because i think this jazz is turning me into a lady yihee
I was a winged creature back then and i was all over the place, so i think this shit had some perks and so i guess that sort of offsets my freaking out from time to time and my having a hard time with the pair of stilettos (yihee stilettos) i was wearing dat night. I was able to take photos kahit saan because i was fucking flying woo hoo
And yes this is another one of those photo dumps
Here's ΠΣ-ΠΣΔ confraternity's Jay Zantua in his ringmaster-esque org wear. Isn't he pretty or what.

Third wheel
2013 Feb 04
Last monday ekay and i went on a date. Monica was on third wheel duty as usual. The best thing about it was that monica had to pay for my meal because she gobbled up her pasalubong for me. Thanks for the dinner, mocs! Sa uulitin hihi

| Their hobbies include holding a palakihan ng nostrils contest. What good they get from it, i do not know. |
Yep this is a photo dump

Tara date!
I'll only be able to go on the 16th, though. That means i won't be able to see Up Dharma Down and Itchyworms and Giniling Fest and Parokya ni Edgar and Ang Bandang Shirley oh my god
Sucks for me
Fucking sucks for me alright
Ahhhhhhhhhhh
Why
Why the fuck are they not playing on the closing night
Also, why the fuck would there be Fliptop on the fucking closing night
Whyyyy
Ugh
Anyway i still am really looking forward to a fucking great time, okayasdkfj. Last year, we were only able to see like two or three or four bands because we didn't only come in late, we also had to leave early since we still are, err, kids, whose parents are still not comfy about the idea of their children growing up
Ugh
Life, you suck
BUT I WON'T FUCKING LET YOU GET BETWEEN ME AND MY SHARE OF FUN YOU FUCKING BASTARD
Film marathon: A stake through the heart
I’d be flying over to Transylvania mid-May and i think watching Bram Stoker’s Dracula still wasn’t enough, so
Corvinus’ sons are little asses who seem to be oblivious of the dangers of the world. One got bitten by a bat and turned into a vampire. Another got bitten by a wolf and turned into a lycan. Well we all know that vampires shapeshift into werewolves, but this film suggests that the two are adversaries. The plot was able to illustrate how that came to be so i guess it’s fine. The storyline was a little effortless and i still don’t think that the presence of hot peepz and heavy morbidity will make up for it. The series i think still hasn’t met its end yet kasi the latest instalment was open ended so i guess i'll just have to watch out for Underworld 5
BLADE (1998)
A vampire hunter (who was a semi-vampire himself) tries to stop whatever the most oppressive of bloodsuckers was up to via really slick Enter the Dragon-esque moves. There are lots of OA scenes, but i think that that further adds pogi points. Plus points for a ‘stached sidekick, a special zombie appearance, and a bloodsucking hitman that keeps coming back to life no matter how many times you slice and dice and fry him. Basta children, remember, crosses and holy water don’t do dick! But silver will. Because silver repels werewolves, and fuck yeah vamps equals werewolves
THE LOST BOYS (1987)
The lost boys are a bunch of teenage bike-riding hipster warlocks who wear Jack Sparrow earrings and dress flashily and do rad adrenaline-inducing shit together and bleed glitter. Yep, glitter. This film will sort of make you want to become a vampire yourself. Getting rid of vampires will require traditional stake and sunlight, but, to quote vampire beta, garlic don’t work, boys. Holy water does, though. Also, the film was consistent with Sweden’s Let the Right One In with its invite-lé-vampire-first-so-that-it-can-enter-your-house decree and i think that’s a rule every vampire film should absorb
DRACULA: DEAD AND LOVING IT (1995)
The comedy version of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. At first i thought it’d suck, but i had to admit that some scenes were funny or shallow lang talaga 'ko huhu. In this film, Renfield was Gollum and Dracula was his precious, Van Helsing’s accent was rrr’s and zzz’s. Vampires have daymares and i think that’s logical natawa ako :( This shit was brimming with estrogen and boobs and boners but i swear it still cannot possibly make anyone go unf
FRIGHT NIGHT (2011)
Now this one’s been residing in my movie folder for a century now and tonight just happened to be vampire movie marathon night. So Jerry here is the new resident vampire and people from the neighbourhood disappear one by one. This film has introduced me to new vampire shit—vampires cannot be caught on camera and they start looking like that shark from Jaws whenever they feed. I was sort of super expecting that it’d be David Tennant who’d be savin the freakin day, and though i didn’t get the ending i was so fucking looking forward to, i was gripped to see how Jerry the Vampire’s 400-year-old ass turned out to have no match for David fucking Tennant’s 900-year-old time lord bottom. Fuck yeah time lords!
FROM DUSK TILL DAWN (1996)
Brothers Seth (Clooney) and Richie (Tarantino) has taken a family of three as hostage and wound up in a nest of vampires halfway into the movie—it took that long that i almost thought it wasn’t a vampire movie at all! Tarantino here was a mentally impaired sex offender and i think that that bit made the movie a whole lot cooler. Now i’ve developed this newfound crush on Clooney and Tarantino okayladjf. I think they are the coolest terrorists ever. I also think that this, by far, is the coolest bloodsucker movie i’ve ever seen! The climax was brimming with undead boners and undead boobs and lots of Jackie Chan action and disembodied body parts. Did i mention they filled condoms up with holy water? MAN THOSE WERE THE COOLEST FREAKIN BOMBS I’D EVER. SET. MY EYES. UPON ON! However, although the plot was action-filled and super kickass, the ending was sort of disappointing. BUT MAN, THIS FLICK ROCKS! WATCH IT, RETARDS!
