thoughtpic: horror booth is comeleche

october 30 2009. friday. imbyernang biyernes.

oo, eto na naman ako, in reklamador mode.

7 ng umaga, sinugod ko muli ang comelec sa QC Hall. Nalate na ako sa lagay na yun, dahil ang plano ko ay bandang 6 ng umaga. Pero sige, kahit papano mas konti siguro ang nakapila dun, sabi ng utak ko.
AT yun na nga. Siyempre, sandamakmak na katauhan na naman ang tila nagcamping na ata nung gabi pa lamang para lang makapila ng maaga. Take note, District 2 pa lamang yun, ay naka ilang kilometro na ata agad ang nakaabang, nakailang ulit na u-turn at ikot ang pila para lang magkasya ang mga tao.

Maraming mga tv crew. Maraming mga pulis. Mga nagpapanggap na pulis. Mga negosyante.
Halo-halo ang mga nakapila. May mga nakapambahay. May mga senior citizen. May mga estudyante. May mga emo at punks.

At marami na rin ang badtrip at di na natutuwa.

Oo, marami ang mga nag-cram at nagparehistro ng pahuli na. Sige, ok na tayo sa puntong yun.

Pero bukod sa sisihin ang mga late magparegister, ay may mali pa rin sa sistema.
Oo nga at 9 p.m. magsasara ngayon ang comelec.
Pero di tama na 9 na ng umaga magstart ang registration.
Alam naman nila kung gaano karami ang mga tao sa quezon city, sana'y dagdagan nila ng sampung ulit yung dami ng mga tao sa registration, verification, at ganun na rin yung mga biometric machines.
Ke 1st day o last day na ng registration, dapat ay mabilis at swabe pa rin ang serbisyo.

Eto pa ang malupit.
Bigla-bigla, nagkagulo. Nagkakasigawan dahil may mga naniningit. Hanggang sa may mga umuuwi na.
"Yung xerox ng ID lang daw ang kelangan, lagyan lang ng telephone number. tatawagan na lang daw kung kelan ang sked."

di ko nagets ang sabi ng mama. tatawagan?! di nga nila matapos ang pila, tatawag pa sila? eh last day na bukas?

di ako umalis ng pila. pero nabuwag na ang pila. nagsuguran na ang mga tao sa window booth ng district 2. parang magkakaroon ng stampede.ganun.

hanggang sa may lumapit na guard sa amin, nangongolekta na ng mga ID copy.

tinanong ko si manong:"Di na kelangan ng form, yung nadownload o maski na xerox?"
guard: "......basta po tatawagan na lang po kayo."
ako, at iba pang mga tao:" pano tatawagan, mamaya?bukas?next week?sa 2010?next election?"
guard:"............"

so, ayon. wala siyang masabi kundi "ipasa nyo po mga xeroxed ID nyo, pakilagay telephone number nyo. tatawagan nalang kayo."

waw.

so, pinasa ko ang copy ko. nagintay pa ko ng sandali. pero may gulo na halos sa may bintana at di na talaga nakapila ang mga tao. pati mga pulis, wala ring magawa.
ganito rin ba sa lahat ng comelec branch sa pinas?

umuwi na ako.

so kung nextyear man sila tumawag, eh magiintay ako.
partida, bukas makikipagsiksikan ako sa sementeryo para sa undas.
siguro naman, di na need ng verification dun.
que horror.

not your regular chick flick

1 rants/raves (aka comments)
Reactions: 
500 Days of Summer.
*Don't worry, not much spoilers in here.*

"This is a story of boy meets girl. But you should know up front, this is not a love story. "



That line is so true in its essence, and yet, there is much more into it, deeper, more engaging. The more you think this film is too predictable, the more you'll be convinced that it isn't.
Definitely not another chick flick, romantic comedy, ala-Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock type of films. Or like teenybopper flicks, where Point A connects to Point B, and then there's Point C...blahblah.
Not that typical tearjerker, or anything that has the element of that big surprise twist and all.

The boy, Tom Hansen, grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy until the day he met the one.
The girl, Summer Finn, did not share this belief.

So, from the intro voice narration, it's about the time Tom had with Summer, which is around 500 days. And this story doesn't spoon feed you with the usual sequencing of frames. Sometimes, for example, Day#200 will be featured, then the next scene goes back to # 13. And the pace and flow of the story is just right, and it isn't that tough to follow, and swallow at the same time.

Afraid of the "Cheesy" Parts?

"I love her smile. I love her hair. I love her knees. I love how she licks her lips before she talks. I love her heart-shaped birthmark on her neck. I love it when she sleeps. "-Tom
Too Cheesy? Then How about this:

"Just because she's likes the same bizzaro crap you do doesn't mean she's your soul mate. "

Don't be afraid. Because as I'm trying to imply, this movie is breaking down the conventional romantic-comedy film genre.
Yes, boy meets girl, they go out, they begin to date, boy falls in love, girl doesn't want to commit, blahblah. That may sound too generic. But then again, it is within the execution of the writers and the director that made this film a visual treat, and a pool of various emotions.
This film is brimming with different moods. You'll feel happy, sad, mad, envious, funny, alone, hate, in-love, and everything else.

The character of Tom is your typical hopeless romantic, who'd do anything for love (yes, that did sound like a song.), while Summer's aura is just infecting, and you'd fall in love with her as well, regardless whether you're a chick or a dude. (she's got amazing eyes, and awesome cutesy outfits.)

And the whole film isn't just about the happy things about falling in love and all those cheese.You got it right, it also deals with heartbreaks, disappointments, expectations, hurts, and all the other nasty things about love. So if you're wondering why this film is being well-received by tons of people, because at one point in life, we took the paths where Tom and Summer were probably taking at different points in the film.

*****
okay, at this point, you're probably wondering, especially those who haven't seen it:"what the heck is soo different from this film? this guy is just babbling: it is different, it is uber lurve, it is amazing, etc..and nothing is different!"
*****
okay, here are some things that made this film truly unique for me personally. (and for those who've seen it, would probably agree with me on this.):

The Musical part!



"The Vagiant" Film Scene (Part vampire, Part giant). lols.
The "Penis!" scene.
Tom's friends.
Tom's boss.
The Shower Sex.
The Ikea Home Center.
The Photo Copy Room Scene.
The "Jobs" dialogue.
The Elevator Scenes.
The Expectation/Reality Scene.(truly heart wrenching)

and many more!


Definitely a great job from the cast and crew. Great portrayal by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel as Tom and Summer respectively. I've also learned that this is the first film for director Marc Webb! So, great applause for his work on this film!

In a rating scale of 5, I'll give it a 5.

Do watch it!And will you tell me what you think about it?^^

comelec to 500 days of summer

Reactions: 
yes. i am still an unregistestered voter.
so russee and I went to QC Hall Comelec to enlist and become part of the phenomenon that is bound to happen come may 2010.
then, the (un)expected happened. it was tuesday. it was 3 P.M. the sun was still high up. it was my only free time.
and then, booom!
massive amount of humanity lined up into crooked lines, intertwining with another line, criss-crossing through the road, snaking its way to the door that is labeled as "district 2", with only 1 dude doing all the "verification" stuffs for the 1st step.
yes. ratio of comelec guy to hundreds of would be voters, 1:10000.
okay, that's way much of O.A. (cuz i dont know hot to count beyond 20)
so, i quit. there'll be another day. and i will be back with a vengeance. (and lots of water and snacks) come friday, before that freakin sun rises up and burn my flawed skin.

comelec @ qc hall. from reigun decena on Vimeo.

want to register to vote? here's a sample of that incredible line at the QC Hall, Comelec, lining up for my area in district 2. it was around 3 P.M. (i know, i came too late, but it was my only free time then) And I lined up for an hour, and I barely moved on the line. (There was only 1 small window area just for the 1st step.)
I know i sound too whiny, but this system is just too depressing.
(will come back and try to come before the sun rises, amp)



so what happened next?

500 days of summer.

heard enough of the rave and the reviews about it?
then just wait for my piece on it.
let's just say, there's a new entry on my all-time fave movie list.

sshhh..the porn experiment.

0 rants/raves (aka comments)
Reactions: 
Oo. tungkol ito sa porn. pornography.


"don't look, i'm having a hard time!"

pero di ito xrated. di gaanong bastos dito. kaya kung nageexpect ka talaga ng porn, eh sorry at nadissapoint kita.
so tama nga hinala mo, na alam ko ang porn. at di ko ikukumpisal dito kung paano at saan ko nadiskubre ang porn at kung sino2 ang mga nagudyok sakin na panuorin ito.
di ako nagpapakabait at di ako nagpapakasanto tungkol sa paksang ito. pero di ko rin ito inirerekomenda, lalo na sa mga pari at madre.
ano ba ang pakay at punto ko rito?

una, idol ko si dane cook.
(oh eh ano?!sino yun?!)
si dane cook ay hindi si david cook na kumakanta. siya ay isang american (idol) stand-up comedian. nakakatawa at talagang astig ang mga bato ng linya nya. kung kasing galing ko lang siya, eh yayaman na ako sa wakas.

pangalawa, nagyoutube ako ng isang set nya, at ito'y tungkol sa....yun na, PORN!

natawa ako dahil sinabi nya na ang mga TITLE ng mga VIDEOS sa isang porn site ay nakakatawa, nakakataka, at nakakacurious talaga. Bukod tangi ang mga ito sa mga obvious na mga salitang bastos na may kasamang parte ng katawan ng tao.

kaya yaman din lamang na inaantok na ako at walang magawa dahil nakakalito ang bagong Facebook, at maiba lang na trip, ay sinubukan kong manood...este maghanap ng mga "kakaibang" title ng mga porn videos, at ito ang ilan sa mga nakita ko, at pinagsamasama ko sa isang mala-tulang porma.
lahat ng per line ay mismong title ng mga video. ayoko magbigay ng mga links dahil baka subukan mong magclick DITO.

pagtyagaan ang aking nabuong experiment:

Puss in Pink Fur Boots

one Full day with a gorgeous French girl
New amateur girl comes to play with machines

HOT SQUIRTING GOTH!!!!
you'll fall in love so hot and charming

Natural Redhead with Pale Skin Freckles

Waiting For The Train... Naked

Sleeping and dreaming

Doctor looks in all her holes for earthquake debris


he said "my gun is waiting"
What is that thing?
Oh wow, it looks like an extra large egg roll

Hmmm Nice

You must see this
Monster Melons
SQUIRT LIKE THIS????
The dawning of a new world

I love myself



wala talaga siyang sense. pero kung iisipin, wala nga ba?
bahala na ang mga isip nyo.

ano ang natutunan ko sa experiment na ito?
1.) mahirap ma-bore pag kaharap ang internet.
2.) marami kang makikitang nakakatawa sa mga di mo aakalain na mga bagay.
3.) ang interpretasyon ng mga bagay ay nakadepende sa pangunawa ng bawat tao.

4.) mabenta talaga ang porn.

5.) nullified ang number 1 kung marunong kang aliwin ang sarili mo.
6.) kanya-kanyang trip lang yan. wag ka lang magkakalat. (punasan mo)
7.) ampanget talaga ng facebook ngayon. pweh.

a manic zombie week.

0 rants/raves (aka comments)
Reactions: 
Had an interesting week so far, and it isn't over yet.
(unless I forget some things...uh huh)

Been quite busy for a while (which is something new for me, lol.) Because I attended the "Dementia Summit" at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza, which was organized by UST, UST Hospital Dept. of Neurology and Psychiatry, and the Dementia Society of the Philippines, last October 22-23, 2009. The event started at around past 8 in the morning, and was scheduled to end at around 9 P.M. both on the said dates.

Sounds like a lengthy event packed with talks, forums, information, and whatnots right?
Well, that is true of course. And only fittingly so.

For starters, what is dementia?

"Dementia is a loss of mental ability severe enough to interfere with normal activities of daily living, lasting more than six months, not present since birth, and not associated with a loss or alteration of consciousness."

"Dementia is well recognized in the developed countries. It is a serious and growing medical, social, and economic problem. It exacts a massive
toll in health care costs, disability and lost productivity for both patients and caregivers"

(MOH Guidelines, 2001)

Okay, so there. It is a very interesting topic, and there are tons of info that needs to be learned. And as one speaker said, Filipinos are so into their extended families, esp. Grandparents, thus we need to understand how to treat these problems, like being "ulyanin", "makakalimutin", etc.

(Don't worry, I'm not going to bore you with scientific mumno-jumbo stuffs here, and I'm not an authority to talk about this stuff, hehe)

But prior to that, I did a kamikaze-like mode. Because I came from the night shift on both dates, starting from 10 P.M. until 6 A.M. and the event started at around 9 A.M., and was scheduled to end at around 9 P.M.



Yes, that sounded soo unreal and freakin crazy. But yeah, I managed to survive (for a few hours), to stay half-awake, and half-zzzzz-ing, and tried to listen to the amazing brains and minds of speakers from different parts of the world, the Michael Jordans of this field and expertise, and it was such an experience by just listening to them (and seeing them as well). But we had to leave earlier than expected, for our bodies cannot take the brutal torture of going sleepless while taking in all the massive information inserted into my puny brain. ^^

So, what did I do to manage to stay half-awake?
FOOOOOOOOD! Lots and lots of superb, gorgeous, amazing, titillating, overload of food that I will probably not be able to see in my lifetime again!


*no, this is not a food blog. but damn, pictures dont do justice to their amazing taste and extreme yumminess!


Day2: Hearty Lunch and dessert.


Merienda/appetizers


Day1: Appetizer. Dessert. Amazing lunch.

These are just some of the food I had copied from the menu:

smoked salmon, pomelo and prawn salad with light horseradish dressing and cherry tomatoes

white bean cappuccino, truffle whipped cream and sauteed wild mushroom

herb crusted sea bass, braised fennel, eggplant and sun dried tomatoes, finished with lemon caper and parsley dressing

duo of dark and white chocolate mousses with amaretto cream

yes. sounds mouthwatery.

Plus, a number of unlimited cups of coffee, drizzled with packets of sugar.
(it's like drinking an energy drink while you're drunk, heheh)

Over-all, it was a great event, manymany thanks to the organizers, esp. to the hypertoxic, uber awesome Dept. of NeuroPsych, (esp. the residents who were equally sleepless, restless, yet managed to stay toxic and dashing all at the same time!Cheers!)

Oh, and it was still a great experience despite being on zombie mode. (cuz, we got a free pass, ooohyeaaah!)


So there, zombie mode done. Food, gone. Event, done. Demented, check.
Sleep, you're next. you're mine.





===================

one day, two semi-pitbull girl pups found their way to our house. (no, they weren't stolen!)
and they're so0o lovely!

the brown pup is Trixie. the black pup, (almost named her Blackie) is Sasha! cuz she's a diva like Beyonce, and too "Fierce" for she's so kulit and playful.


I think my blogging time has found its toughest rival yet: Sasha!

"Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh, 2ne1"

kargado ang aking mp3 player ng mga halu-halong kanta ng paramore, urbandub, kamikazee, eheads, pop music, ilang rnb, at album ng 2ne1,
hinayaan namin ang aming sarii na maaliw sa tanawin ng byahe, at parang may music soundtrack habang patulugtulog kung minsan.

"Kamay ni Hesus"

di kami masyado makagala dahil mas pinili namin ang magpahinga at magrelax mula sa aming mga trabaho, pero naisipan pa rin namin ang mag foodtrip at ang makapasyal sa tourist attraction na "Kamay ni Hesus".

(*may vlog ako tungkol dito. ngunit, subalit, datapwat na navirus ang aking movie maker na walang effects etc, ay di ko pa ito nagagawa. pero as if naman pang youtube sensation ito, kaya kung magawa ko man ang video, ay di mo rin ito malalaman. lols)

yes, i'm this puny

so ayun na nga. Ano ba ang "Kamay ni Hesus"? Para sa mga Katolikong mga deboto, ito ay isang lugar na kung saan ang mga imahe mula sa Bible ay ginawan ng life-size replicas at gumawa ng parang isang malaking "stage" ng mga kaganapan, tulad ng Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, Stations of the Cross, Garden of Eden, at coming soon na Noah's Ark.

Eve: "Nangangati ako sa kasuotan natin."
Adam: "Wagka magreklamo! Kasalanan mo to!"

Mayroon ding simbahan na kilala na nakakapagpagaling sa mga may kapansanan. Ginagawa din itong retreat house, at talagang maraming tao raw dito lalo na kapag Holy Week.

Kakaiba ang nafeel ko nung nagpunta kami. Yung tipong matotouch ka kapag may nakamiss sayong malapit sa puso mo, yung ganun, O kapag matigas ang ulo mo at sutil ka, e tipong makakaramdam ka ng batok, solid!

Binatukan ako para magpakabaet. hehe

Lalo na kapag nasa paanan ka na nang higanteng imahe ni Papa Lord. Whoa. AS IN.
Magandang magpunta dito. Sayang lang di kami nakaabot sa misa. Subukan ko magpunta dito kahit once a year. Para naman bumait ako kahit konti. hihi

"the partey!"

simple lamang ang handaan kina russee. Pero ayos lang. halos kumpleto ang family, kaya solb.
waw lugaw!

at syempre, ang lutuin ay talagang di basta-basta. mula sa pancit habhab, sa puto, sa lugaw, sa manok, sa kamoteng pinirito, sa dinuguan aka adobong pusit, sa masasarap na pulutan, at syempre, ang serbesa.

long life!

tumoma kami ng san mig light. pero walang panama yun sa pride ng quezon.
lambanog.
astig. napatawag ako ng maraming uwak.
cheers!

"pasalubong!"

bago umuwi, syempre may konting bitbit ako sa mga nanghihingi. hehe.
may sikat na bilihan dun ng longganisang lucban.
one longga, two longga, three...

sa sobrang sikat (at kalasingan), di ko maalala yung name. basta, yun yung bilihan dun.
kasama na rin yung iba pang specialty, tulad nd broas at puto seko.

ayos na ayos talaga ang lucban. di nalalayo sa probinsya namin sa quezon na alabat island, pero iba pa rin.
simple. pero rock.

babalik ako asap. apir!

Climate Change:Watcha Gonna Do?

0 rants/raves (aka comments)
Reactions: 

Today, October 15, 2009, is Blog Action Day. The theme is very much relevant to what is happening all over the world lately: Climate Change.

I think most of us are already aware of the term "Global Warming"(or some experts say we are now in the "Global Cooling"), and "Climate Change". We've seen movies with massive special effects to portray the epic proportions of such event, and most of us dropped jaws when scientists would tell everyone who cares that we are now experiencing the "tip of the iceberg."

Skeptic? Check on these facts and figures.

As for us here in the Philippines, we experienced the wrath of typhoons with horrific destruction to properties, and the grieving for the loss of human lives.

We must act. As a blogger, this is just one way of action. To add to the growing voice of stopping climate change.

From blogactionday.org

Blog Action Day is an annual event held every October 15 that unites the world’s bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day with the aim of sparking discussion around an issue of global importance. Blog Action Day 2009 will be one of the largest-ever social change events on the web.
"So what? What am I supposed to do, recycle? Not everybody's doing it, so why should I?"

Sure, you won't do much "cure" to the growing problem that affect us all. But you'd rather be a small solution rather than adding up to the pain in the earth's ass.

"So what happens if I don't do anything?"

Yes, most of us think this way. We need concrete facts and visuals in order for us to give it a thought, and then act, late. So, here are some of the climate change effects.

Don't worry, you don't need to be a tree-hugger, or join the street protests, or whatever reason it is that would make a perfect alibi for you not to do any change. Some solutions are so simple that we are actually capable of "undoing" them, thus helping stop climate change!

And believe me, most of these things were taught in kinder school. (You don't need to be friends with Al Gore.)


EDUCATE YOURSELF

There are hundreds of movies, websites, documentaries that show and tell the effects of climate change. Go and pick your choice and educate yourself. In return, tell a friend, especially a skeptic, and hopefully that person will change his mind.

PLANT SOMETHING!

Plants take CO2, and pump out oxygen. Simple huh? Yes, that simple. Plus, it provides home and food for other forms of life. Plus, it is relaxing for the eyes, adds up to the ambiance, right?

UNPLUG!

For everything else that is not on use, such as tv, stereo, computers, and anything else that has red lights on the power button? They are still using energy. Unplug when not in use. You saved electricity, and reduce energy-related emissions.
Same goes for lights in rooms. During daytime, try to reduce the use of artificial light.

MINIMIZE PLASTIC/STYRO USE!

So you love fast foods? Sure, they use disposable cups, plates, etc. Solution? Try to bring your own mug/utensils once in a while. This may not be enough, but each time you do, you prevented adding up wastes to growing landfills (and wherein they still be there after a hundred years!)
Same goes for shopping or doing groceries. Go for paper bags (which is the lesser evil), or other reusable bags. Ditch excess plastic bags. And this will send a message to the management to discourage them from using plastic bags.

MINIMIZE BURNING FOSSIL FUELS!

Okay, you love to travel, and you have you own car. But if possible, use public utility vehicles. So it is a hassle and still wanted to use your own car for comfort? Try to carpool. And if you're going to a place that is just a mile or two away, don't put your key into your ignition. Try biking or jogging for a change! Plus, you'll reduce air pollution.

MINIMIZE YOUR GARBAGE.

Got some old gadgets beyond repair? Don't throw them just yet. Go and visit your nearest junk shop, and sell it for a few bucks. For other wastes, if you think it is organic (ex. food leftovers), try to save some, and grow some fertilizers!(if you don't have a garden or a farm, I'm sure you know someone who has one.)For old papers, plastic containers and bottles, if you can't reuse them for other purpose, then sell them to mr. junk man. It's a win-win scenario!

JOIN A GROUP.

There are tons of groups, organizations, that pushes for solutions for climate change. Just search the internet and choose any that interests you.

PARTY!

Yes, party! Next week, on October 24, 350.org is organizing the International Day of Climate Action. Go and find a gathering near your place, and participate, and of course, enjoy!


So, these things may not totally change the world. As I've said in a previous post, we don't need superman to change. WE JUST NEED TO CHANGE. We need to change our ways. We have become irresponsible.
But it is never too late for a change.

Let's move and act.

As the King of Pop said it:"...make it a better place."

da bro code:man myths

1 rants/raves (aka comments)
Reactions: 

Men vs. women. A debate-battle as old as the time itself. Who's to blame, Adam or Eve? Now that's tough. And for this topic, then came the "machismo" rule, and then later came the "feminists." But really, is there really a need for this debate? Can't we just co-exists? Bro's share their sentiments to one another. They try to decipher their purpose for living, WOMEN. (Now that's just cheesy.)

It really is difficult to understand and read one's mind, and try to read between the lines.
Then came the "Man Myths."
Yes, stories, folklore, fantasies weaved and made up by women, and then labeled on each male specie. Men are generalized, branded with funny, and sometimes offensive remarks and comments.

And by this, needs to be stopped. When men try to explain their side, they sound guilty, or defensive. But seriously, these are just myths. (Really!)

These are the some of the man myths. Not necessarily in order. Below are some of the most extensive explanations given to each myth.


  • men think about sex every 6 seconds.

dude, this is so unreal. men think about it for a period of time, uninterrupted!

  • men hate and discriminate women drivers.

untrue. especially if she's wearing pekpek shorts.

  • men love to stare at women wearing pekpek shorts.

no. the truth is, men hate it. they get so animated but at the same time, too bitin. too painful.


  • men hate household chores.

false. we love doing them. it's just the sports program on the tube isn't finished yet.


  • men spend more time on video games.

not really. men spend more time with beer and friends. seriously.

  • men, by nature is polygamous.

nope. then men are labeled by women as relationship-phobic? hello?

  • men are heartbreakers.

explain to me the number of emo kids wearing skinny jeans with slashed wrists?

  • men spend their time online mostly on porn sites.

for pop-ups maybe. men just download the videos. while they harvest crops on farmville.

  • men are liars.

seriously? except for pinocchio.



  • men are such momma's boys.

tell that to my mom.

  • men don't listen.

nope. men are good listeners. we can listen to loud rock songs effortlessly.

  • men have short term memories, forgetting details, anniversaries, etc..

not really. ask us how many points Kobe scored for his career high.

  • men aren't just into women as much as women do.

untrue. because some men are soo into men.

  • chivalry is dead.

hey, in doing household chores, ladies' first, by all means!!

  • men are as numb and cold as a stone.

not quite. but men can be as hard as a rock *winkwink*

  • men doesn't know how to multi-task.

now, see my point on the polygamous myth?! besides, we can watch tv,munch on chips and
slouch on the couch all at the same time.

  • men have huge egos and mostly self-centered, vain.

well, we don't wear facial make-up. ahem. and some are just born pogi.

  • men always think they are smarter than women.

that's a no-brainer.




**note: this is a mock article. So to the men, chill. To the ladies, peace with y'all ok?

and all we have is us. together, we can make change. (and no, this is not President Obama speaking). Truly, together, if we agree on one cause, on one mission, in our own little ways, we can create great effects.
No costumes needed.
Plus, we don't fear any kryptonite. ^^


Fight Climate Change.

As of now, the people in the Philippines, particularly in the Luzon area, we are badly hit by the typhoons Ketsana (Ondoy), and Typhoon Parma (Pepeng). Lives were lost. Properties gone. And all are scarred for life.

Who's to blame? People would normally start finger pointing the culprit. The one who is responsible for this mess.
Why can't we blame ourselves?
Outrageous? No. All of our actions, and inactions, make us contribute to this state that we are in.
This climate change. Let's not debate whether its just a natural phenomenon, or it is still a scientific theory.
The point is, it is happening now. And we can do something about it.



According to blogactionday.org:
Climate change affects us all and it threatens more than the environment. It threatens to cause famine, flooding, war, and millions of refugees.

Given the urgency of the issue of climate change and the upcoming international climate negotiations in Copenhagen this December, we think the blogosphere has the unique opportunity to mobilize millions of people around expressing support for finding a sustainable solution to the climate crisis.
And this is true and timely. Let us do our part.

Philippine Blog Awards 2009!

manik makina @ philippine blog awards 2009 from reigun decena on Vimeo.

Presenting the Finalists for Best Humor Blog Category at the Philippine Blog Awards Night 2009. My blog:Manik Makina was among the finalists, and notice the dead air silence when my blog is mentioned. Lol.

I did not expect to win, but it's great to be among the finalists. Congratulations to all the winners!

October 9, 2009. "Ive got a feeling, that tonight's gonna be a good night..."

Oo, yan ang LSS ko lately twing may happening sa buhay ko na kakaiba, (at kapag sa gabi ang lakad). Muntik pang maudlot dahil sa mga kaganapan netong mga huling nagdaang bagyo. Pero, nairaos din. Hila-hila ko ang partner in crime ko na si russee, ay sinugod namin ang PETA-PHINMA Theater sa may New Manila(likod ng QC Sports Complex, malapit sa St. Lukes.) At hanggang ngayon, may hangover pa rin ako. ohyeah.

Asteeg!

Una, ang saya ng pakiramdam ko. Dahil sa October 10, 2009 ay mag 6 months na ang manik makina blog, at nakarating na ito sa Philippine Blog Awards. Mula sa maging isa sa mga nominee, hanggang umabot ng finals. aba'y ayows! Napasama ang manik makina sa humor category, na kung saan ay "punch in the moon" ang manalo, kung saan andun ang "tunaynalalake (Hay!Men!)", "good times manila", "the professional heckler", atbp... mga heavyweights eh! kaya mapasama lang sa listahang ito, feeling pogi nako. lol.

Prom? Graduation?

Ngayon lang ako nakaatend ng awards night. Para siyang graduation, pero sa gabi ginagawa. Parang prom, pero walang sayaw at dika mahihiya kapag wala kang ka date. At syempre, iba-iba ang kasuotan ng mga tao. At ang mas malupit pa bakit mas ok to sa graduation, may pagkaen! wait, MASARAP na pagkain! Ang saraaap ng chow nila, catering talaga. From pasta, to pastries, to cheese fondue! (sorry sa sarap ng paglamon ko, di na ko nakakuha pa ng time para magphoto ng mga handa, hihi). Party talaga!

Pero tahimik lang kami ni russee. Observers lang kami. Bulong dito, bulong doon. Ay, dumating si ano. Ay, sino kaya yung blogger ng ano? Ay, eto pala yung emcee. Ay, teka, bakit bukas zipper ko?

Pero nung magstart na yung event..(sabi 6 start, pero past 8 na..grr the filipino time), magkaiba kami ng upuan ni russee. Sa taas niya, ala orchestra section, at akoy nasa ibaba, kasama ng mga iba pang finalists. Para akong transferee sa ibang school. Dahil sa loob ng 3 taon ng PBA, parang everybody knows everybody. wow. Apir sila dito, yakap doon, papicture sila, group hug, kambyo don.

Kaya, tahimik lang ako at nagtetext kunwari.

The Live Show

Ipinalabas ito live via flippish.com *at buti nakaabot yung family ko by the time na best humor category na, lol*

Ang isa sa mga emcee ay si Erika Tapalla, na isa ring blogger/model. And ang pinaka host ng gabing iyon ay si RJ Ledesma. Astig! Ang kulit niya, at di biro ang mga banat niya, ang galing.

Though di masyadong organized yung flow ng event, ok lang dahil kahit papano, nairaos din ika nga. Though maraming mga winners ang absent, (sana sa mga present na lang ibinigay, hehe), ay okay pa rin, dahil mga deserving naman ang mga ito.

Isa sa mga fave kong part ay yung speech ni Gang Badoy, president ng Rock Ed Phil. Kung saan tinukoy niya ang responsibilidad, at kakayahan ng mga pinoy bloggers na maging boses, at maging simula ng aksyon sa mga pagbabago, kung saan tayo ay sumasagot sa hamon ng panahon. Ipinunto niya ang naging papel ng mga pinoy sa internet nuong kasagsagan ng bagyong Ondoy, sa tulong ng blogs, twitter, facebook, etc. At ngayong nanalasa rin ang bagyong Pepeng, mas lalong kailangan ng tulong nating lahat.

Iba-iba man ng opinyon, nagkakaisa pa rin ang mga bloggers, na sakto sa tema ng PBA 2009:"One Blogging Nation."

Gayundin ang mensahe ng president ng Phil. Bloggers Inc., na si Mr. Sunido. Na sa mga panahong ito, magtulungan tayo, at wag magkibit balikat.

Andun din syempre yung mga malulupit na mga bloggers, na part ng organizing committee, pati na rin yung mga judges, at syempre kasama yung mga tulad nila mlq3!woot!

Hollywood?

Bago pa nagstart ang event, eto ang nangyari:

reigun: may naisip ako
russee: ano yun?
reigun: alam kong imposible, pero natatakot ako.
russee: ok lang yan.,,
reigun: hindi, natatakot akong manalo. pero may naisip na akong speech..
russee: prepared ka? ano sasabihin mo?
reigun: iniisip ko: "tenkyu for the award, but i wont accept it. thanks"
russee: nyeh! di ba parang nakakabastos yun? youve got a chance, bago ka, youve got edge.
reigun: pero i wont even vote for me! either tunaynalalake, good times, o the professional heckler yan.
russee: ok lang yun. accept mo pa rin, and say something witty.
reigun: onga eh, ineexpect kong lumabas na si kanye agad. im so taylor swift!

well actually, kumbaga sa NBA, ako'y isang bangkong player sa bano na team, at kalaban ko sila Lebron James at Kobe Bryant.
kumbaga sa PBA, akoy taga team B, at kalaban ko sila James Yap, Gabe Norwood.
kumbaga sa Pinoy Movies, ako yung mga nameless extras laban kina papa John Lloyd at Christopher de Leon.
kumbaga sa Hollywood, ako yung supporting actor sa indie film, laban kina Johnny Depp at Brad Pitt.

So, ganun ang feeling. Pero masayang masaya ako na hindi ako nanalo, pramis. Hindi ako bitter no. (defensive?)haha

Sa mga bumoto sa akin, namely:

traveliztera
chikletz
krissy
minnie madz


(at sa iba pa na diko nalaman pa, at syempre sa mga sumuporta, maraming maraming salamat!)
at bilang pangako ko na per boto ay magbibigay ako ng relief pack such as dry clothes, towels, slippers, shoes sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo c/o rock ed, ay nakaipon ako with help from my friends ng 30+ pieces of clothing, towels, and shoes.
It may not be much, pero super malaking tulong na ito. and this wont be the last. again, maraming salamat!

the after party

May after party ba sa PBA 2009 awards night? di ko alam. dahil pagkatapos ay umalis na kami. Saan pumunta? Sa after party with my family! Isinabay na ang party bilang despedida ni Kuya Jason, na babalik ng Indonesia, (maski ayaw na ayaw na nya), at naghanda sila para sa pagiging finalist ko!cheesy!hehe.

Ang saya at ang sarap sa pakiramdam na fans ko na rin ang family ko. At masaya akong nalaman na nabasa na rin ng nanay ko ang ginawa ko para sa kanya (eto link), at siya'y naluha sa tuwa.

at marinig ko lang sa kanila na "keep on blogging! panalo ka pa rin para sa amin."

wow. asteg.

i couldnt ask for more. ^^

just received a text from ZAREN RAMIREZ (story by her also. she already went to the wake)

Help us spread the news. If my kilala kayo sa ABS/GMA or kahit saang news media, please do forward this story.

I have a very close high school friend who died yesterday (Thursday). Her name is PRECIOUS OLALIA, 24 years old. Her wake is at Good Shepherd, Dolores San Fernando Pampanga. Contact Person: (sister) JEAN OLALIA 09228792901.

Dinala nila nung Friday sa St. Lukes, UTI pa daw findings. 119k ang platelet count. They gave her antibiotic den pinauwi pa.

Saturday. Binalik nila sa ER ng St. Lukes, nagdrop na platelets to 62k pero hindi pa din sinalinan ng dugo.

Sunday chaka pa lang nila sinabing dengue. Nilipat sa ICU nung nag-drop to 28k platelets nya. Wala pa din blood transfusion. May mga blood donor naman sila pero sabi sa ICU, not available. So dumiretso sila sa Blood Donor Center, meron naman daw. Ilang beses daw tong nangyari.

Next, naghingi sila pa sana sila sa Red Cross pero di pa din nila nabigyan blood dahil ung doctor ng St. Lukes kulang ang finil-up-an na documents. Wala pa ung blood type.

Nung nirerevive na nila chaka lang nagblood transfusion pero hindi na na-save.

USTHS ’02 YEARBOOK:

Olalia, Precious F.

Precious is a sweet, kind, thoughtful and patient person. She is a girl with an angelic face and a big heart. But behind this innocence lies her small ways of showing her playfulness.

Call her Baby, Chus, or simply Precious. She has a good sense of humor which drives everybody happy even in their most gloomy mood. An approachable friend, she is a good listener and the best adviser.

She is fun to be with and she is a person who knocks everybody out with her drop-dead gorgeous smile. God truly blessed us with an angel in her.


===

im not particularly close to precious personally. she was my classmate when we were in 1st year high school. all i know of her is she is very kind, very quiet, and she smiles all throughout the day.
She is a great person.

this incident is still a shock for everyone who knew her.
and i only knew of the whole incident this afternoon. this is not right.
i am very disappointed as a nurse for this particular tragic ending. this is not how to handle this kind of situation.
something needs to be done. let this be the last case of medical irresponsibility.

my prayers and condolences to the family of Precious Olalia. May she rest in peace.

tapos na si ondoy, pero unportunately, related pa rin to ng bahagya ke ondoy.

ipinapakilala ko si Mr. Lolo Thunder!
paborito namin syang patient sa psych ward. Baket?

Oo magulo siya. Oo makulit siya na daig pa ang batang pasaway. Oo maingay siya pag sumisigaw ng walang dahilan. Oo nakakailang ulit siyang labas-pasok sa ward.

Pero nakakatuwa siya. Alam niyang may sakit siya. Masayahin siya. Pero nakita ko na siya at nakilala nang siya ay super matino. Isa siyang buthing ama, lolo. At succesful ang mga anak niya, as in Professionals. At mahal na mahal niya ang asawa niya.

Naks, pang Maalala mo Kaya? hehe.

reigun: naku, kaya pala napagod ka.
Mr. Lolo Thunder: oo! binuhat ko yung karaoke, yung tv, yung computer, yung mga pagkaen..
reigun: dibale, malakas ka naman eh. pero first time din bumaha senyo diba?
Mr. Lolo Thunder: oo. umulan kasi ng malakas, magdamag. umulan ng 40 days and 40 nights...
reigun: teka, galing na sa bible yan eh..
Mr. Lolo Thunder: Hindi! ganun talaga pare. hehe.
reigun: Noah's ark ata storya mo eh. anu ba talaga nangyari pagkatapos?
Mr. Lolo Thunder:ayun! samin nakitulog mga kapitbahay namin. wala kasi si mommy (asawa niya) nun. pinabayaan ako.
reigun: uy, di naman. lab na lab ka nga nun eh.
Mr. Lolo Thunder: nako! nung araw kasi, may ibang gusto yun, tall dark and handsome. eh nakilala ako.

Healthy Libing

busybusyhan ako netong mga huling araw. una, medyo toxic ang duty sa ospital.
kaya pwede ba, mag healthy living tayong lahat, uminom ng bitamina, mag ehersisyo, at kumaen ng tamang pagkaen. para naman di masyadong mapagod ang mga doktor at nars!(nagreklamo?)hehe.

Mag resaykel!

tapos, since na gangrape nga ang kabahayanan namin ni ondoy, ay di pa rin matapos tapos ang paglinis at pagayos sa bahay.

tapos gabundok ang tambak ng basura sa tapat namin (di lang samin galing yun, siguro mga 80% lang). at sa wakas! nung sunday ay dumating na nga ang trak ng basura. pero sosyal ang mga basurero!gusto nila ay yung easy to carry ang mga basurahan at ayaw yung mga nakatambak. sosyal! aba sige nga.
hayun at hinakot at ginamit ko ang pala para ihatid sa kanila at isubo sa bunganga ng trak.
naramdaman ko kung pano maging basurero tuloy.

kaya guys, pwede ba, magrecyle na tayo! magsegregate! maglinis! mag lambada!

walang kinalaman ang lambada, pero siguro makakatulong ito kesa naman magtapon tayo ng basura ng basta2. kawawa naman ang mga basurero at mga dumpsite. lalong bumabaho. eew.

Ahnong thexter?

dahil naalala ko ang recyle, at naging busy ako lately para magblog ng todo, may post ako na luma na ireresaykel.
(oo, pagod akong magisip. at ayokong banggitin na naman na iboto ako sa Phil. blog awards. baka isuka na ako ng mga naliligaw dito sa blog.)

kaya eto:

1 manikmakina vote= (secret)

0 rants/raves (aka comments)
Reactions: 

dear manikmakina,

ako ay imbitado sa phil. blog awards night sa oct.9, 2009. ano ang isusuot ko? anung kulay ng brip ang babagay sa pulang medyas? panu pumunta dun? pero saka na yung mga tanong.


eto muna. bukod sa awards night, ito ay magiging daan para sa pagtulong ng mga bloggers sa mga nasalanta ng ondoy. Ang Philippine Blog Awards at RockEd ay nagtutulong para sa mga victims ni bagyong Ondoy. at nagrerequest ng mga dry clothing, towels, blankets and shoes na kokolektahin sa venue.

oo, nadale rin ang bahay namin ni letseng ondoy, pero ayos pa rin at di hamak na may mas mga nangangailangan pa.

so naisip ko. ok kaya ang pulang brip?

pero bukod pa dun, bilang napasubo na ang committee at sinabing finalist ako, at kinakailangan ng boto, at wala akong panukli sa kung sino man ang boboto sa akin, ganito na lang.

1 manik makina vote= 1 relief pack

oo, kung sino man ang magtangkang magkamali na iboto ang manik makina, makakatulong ka sa mga kababayan natin.

wag magalala, ako na ang bahala sa relief pack, relaks. hehe.

astig diba?
di ito sapilitan. alam kong olats ang blog ko sa mga hebiweyts na nominee, pero oks lang. makaabot lang dito, ay ayus na.

kaya kung may magkamali ng boto, sori, touchmove na. kaya, pakilink sakin o pakisabi sa pagiwan ng mensahe sa chat box ko kung napilitan kang iboto ang manik makina.

kaya ang unang donor thru manikmakina ay si
traveliztera ng traveliztera.blogspot.com!

Reactions: 
kakatapos lang namen magbalotbalot at maghanda para ke pepeng na bwiset na dumarating ng di naman imbitado. kaya limas ulit ang aming kagamitan at kasangkapang natira sa bahay, at back to where they belong. (sa pinakataas na parte ng mga kwarto).

hiniram ko muna ang mini laptop ng ate ko dahil mahirap ipaakyat baba ang pc ko (tenkyu ate, hehe).

kaya pagod at lupaypay na naman ang aking katawang lupa kakabuhat at kakapinaw ng di matuyo-tuyong sampay na mga damit.

nauumay na rin ako sa balitang pepeng/ondoy, pero ganun talaga, dapat maghanda. medyo napapraning na rin ako sa ulan, kaya need ko divertion.

so, ano yung ano ko?
eto na, ok, chill!
eto na...


bukod sa pagkakanominate ko sa "best humor category" ng philippine blog awards 2009 (oo, natatawa pa rin ako sa idea na yun hehe), eh nalaman ko na nominated din ako para sa special awards!
kasama ang MANIK MAKINA sa 2009 Bloggers’ Choice Special Award National Level!!!

O M G!

oo. tunay nga ito.
at sabi ko nga kanina, bago pa lumabas si kanye west at sabihin "yo manik makina, imma let you finish, but beyonce's blog is the best all time!", ay again, walang basagan ng trip!masaya na ko sa ganto ok?hehe.

again, salamat sa PBA 2009! at,sa mga fellow bloggers ko, mga idol ko na nominated din, congrats in advance, apiiir!!!

Eto ang aking special report tungkol sa bagyong Ondoy. (oo, di pa rin ako tapos, di pa ako nakakamove on, hehe)

Sa mga di pa nakakaalam, nasalanta din kami ng letseng bagyong yan, at binaha kami ng lampas tao. AT lumangoy kami palabas ng bahay pagkatapos magsalba ng mga gamit. Bakit late na kami nag evacuate? Dahil ang baha sa amin ay di basta2 nagaganap. At baha na sa amin ang abot-gutter.

At bilang taga USTe, oo sanay na ako sa baha. Pero di ako sanay na lumangoy at abutin ng lampas tao.
Maraming biktima, maraming nasalanta, pero ano pa sasabihin ko na alam na ng marami?
Edi yung mga experience ko na di pa alam ng lahat! nyeh!

So, eto yung ilan sa mga obserbasyon ko dahil ke Ondoy, ang aking bagong mortal enemy.

> takot ang mga ipis sa baha. Habang nagsasalba ako ng mga gamit sa sala, eh sakin sila kumakapit at gumagapang. Kaya pala marumi sila.

>pag inabot na ang sockets ng baha, patayin agad ang main switch. Wag na magintay na maground. kaya magready ng mga kandila, at kung posible, lighter. Dahil 99%, pag nabasa ang posporo, lagut na.

>mabisa ang adrenalin ng katawan sa pagbubuhat. Wala akong pagod na naramdaman dahil sa panic sa pagbubuhat ng mga appliance, mga cabinet, iba pang gamit. Daig pa neto ang cobra o extra joss o sting na nakakapagpabuhat ng bus sa commercial.

>takot ang aso ko sa tubig. kala ko ayaw lang niya maligo. takot pala talaga siya sa tubig. dahil sinagip ko pa sya nung inabot na ng tubig at binuhat.

>makapit talaga ang mga garapata. dahil di pa rin natanggal ang mga garapata ng aso maski binaha na siya.

>chillax na mga animal ang mga hamster. wala silang pake habang binubuhat ko ang kulungan nila. tulog sila sa buong happening at panic na nagaganap.

> magstock ng maraming goods. dahil pagbukas ko ng cabinet, nashock ako di dahil sa mga ipis o sa mga dadalhin. dahil 1 de latang sardinas lang ang nakita ko. shit!

>wag buhatin ang ref, relax, lumulutang to. kaya sabi ni nanay ay itali ko ito. at true enough, para siyang surfing board na lumutang. tibayan dahil baka mamaya yung kapitbahay na yung nagsusurf dito.

>matibay ang mga electronic supplies namen. maski nabasa na, gumagana pa yung mga speaker ko, usb, electirc cords, electric fan,extension wires, phone lines, karaoke, ref, etc. basta patuyuin muna ng maigi ang mga ito. syempre pati na rin yung mga saksakan.

>ugaliing magupload ng mga pics at vids mula sa camera ng mas madalas. di ako masyado nakakuha ng mga happening dahil puno ang memory. argh!

>ugaliing fully charged and phone. kailangan to pantawag at pagsend ng mga kowts habang bumabaha. pero make sure may signal at may load ka.

>ibalot ang mga damit sa plastic. dahil ang karamihan ng bag ay nababasa. at mahirap maglaba.

>itali ang mga lumulutang na mga bagay. dahil mahirap maglaba, kapag inanod ang mga palanggana.

>make sure na itago at itaas ang mga litrato at mga pic frame. dahil kapag nabasa at nagdikit2 ang mga ito, burado ang mga mukha, di mo na makikilala pramis.

>itaas ang mga precious documents at mga papeles. mahirap magpatuyo.

>kapag tapos na ang baha, magready ka na ng salonpas. dahil di matatapos ang mga dumi, putik atbp. magready ka ng alaxan fr.

>di lahat ng kahoy na lumutang ay pwedeng salbabida. dahil ang mabigat na dining table namin na gawa sa narra ay lumubog nung tinesting kong sakyan. naligo ako.

>magtago ng mga plastic water container na refillable. epektib na salbabida yun.

>magready ng mga tali. para maitali sayo yung mga salbabida at mga gamit. pero ayusin ang tali, dahil baka sumabit ka lang at masakal. masakit yun.

>matutong magswimming. oo magaaral na ako.

>ihold muna ang gutom, pagwiwi at pagpoopoo dahil lubog ang cr. baka dumikit din sayo yun. pero nung ako na yung last na tatakas, di ko na napigil, nagwiwi na ako. pero lumayo ako sa wiwi. wala ring nakakita.


ayan muna ang ilan lang sa mga ekpseryens ko. sa darating na bagyong pepeng, sana mahiya na siya at dahil ang kapal ng mukha niya pumunta dito sa pinas, wala naman siyang passport. bwiseT!
ipagdasal natin ang mga nasalanta. Bro, kaw na po bahala!
