this film had me laughing at first. must watch grabe! the kiwi was VERY VERY VERY cute!! at sobrang talino naman ng pagkakagawa at pagkakaconceptualize nito. sobra.
Life is cruel. I know. At least that tear was, besides being a tear of sheer incompletness, also a tear of fulfillment. Isipin mo na lang it dedicated its life to dream even if it meant succumbing to an end and living the dream for only a moment. After all, those who don't try will never know how far they can go, right? :)

I hate you Class '84
Because you set the standards we are very pressured to break.
Last practice time, I heard 2013's song. It was good. And as of the moment, I'm sort of pessimistic.
Well, pessimist naman talaga ako. Kaya nga minsan magaling akong leader kasi lahat na ng pwedeng mangyaring masama nagawan ko ng back-up plan basta kaya. Kaya siguro normal lang to.
Nakakapressure lang.
I never really realized how big it was for my poem to be used as lyrics. I really thought it all boils down to arrangement and melody anyway. Hindi naman kasi laging naririnig yung lyrics kaya parang wala lang. Now, because of my writing, it seems like I influenced a huge chunk of the creation of the melody (since inuna nila ipagawa yung lyrics bago yung melody).
This puts me in a really pressured position. The last time I wrote something for the class was 1st year mediscene and, well, we lost. The following year, I let Carla wrote everything and only criticized and fixed the script. We almost won.
This time, I wrote for the class AGAIN when it's our first time in the competition. More so, the two things I wrote both are serious and very socially aware.
If we lose this time, I swear, I'm going to believe I'm a bad omen. LOL.
Ok lang naman talaga sakin na matalo kami, lalu pa't mukhang magaganda yung kanta ng 2013 at 2012. ang pangit lang talaga na palaging kapag ako na yung nagsusulat, natatalo. wahahahha. Sana magawan nina Ate Jana ng paraan sa pagkanta namin nung nagawang kanta.
Kapag natalo kami this time, maghahanap na talaga ako ng ibang talent na pwedeng ioffer. Ayoko nang magsulat para sa class! Pressure. Wahahahahaha.
I hope we can bring '84 back. Basta sana lang talaga may makaintindi nung message nung kanta o may makaappreciate man lang.

On Edu Manzano's statement (Election Bitterness Post Number 2)
In this(click!) article, Edu Manzano, recently declared running mate of the administration's bet on the upcoming presidential elections, made this statement:
"In questioning my qualifications for the vice presidency simply because of one of my professions, my detractors virtually made a wholesale condemnation of those in the entertainment industry as being unfit and incapable of providing competent leadership to our people."
First of all, the entertainment industry, I believe, has yet to produce leaders that made significant changes in our government. (You can correct me on this one.) Yes they are capable of getting the presidency (with the election of Estrada but we all know where that went to), but it doesn't mean that they are already capable.
Yes they can be. Marami naman atang taga-showbiz na may utak. But it does not mean all of them - or even majority of them. And he has to face the fact that being an actor - and to not have any thing else that may augment that profession, like a bachelor degree or whatever (in which case, hindi ko sure kung kasama pa dito si edu dahil nagaral daw siya ng economics pero hindi stated kung nagtapos siya) - does not give anyone confidence of a capability to lead. Handling a government position SHOULD BE beyond projecting in front of the camera and putting a prefix before your name. It's not an acting job. Look at Sen. Lito Lapid now, for crying out loud.
The point of this whole post is that leadership entails KNOWLEDGE. It is even better if Edu just said that he once was able to handle government positions already so he has experience and a bit of knowledge (if compared to Sen. Lito Lapid and many others). You have to know what you're doing and how you're going to do something.For crying out loud, case in point, if you're going to be a senator, you should at least have to know how to read in english since the constitution is written in that forsaken language (kung san mapapagisip ka bakit ba kasi naka-Ingles ang Konstitusyon). And you actually at least have to know law so that you can make them!
One time, my sister told me that the NDCC during the typhoon Ondoy should have had an operations specialist heading it so that it would have had a chance to help people. Clearly, Gilbert Teodoro, coincidentally Edu Manzano's running mate, was not one. Just like the DOH should be headed by a doctor and just like how departments in the government could be more effective if people specializing in the particular field would head them, government positions should also be run not just by aspirant leaders but those who really have knowledge on how to run things. Actors and talk show hosts are not necessarily leaders and face it, they have nothing in their profession to offer you. At least lawyers know law if ever they'd run for a position.
This is not to downplay capabilities. It's to make things straight. The reason actors get elected is because they're popular, not because people deem they're capable. Don't twist that. Especially in this case, there are only very few exemptions (actors that are actually good leaders), if none at all. So don't go around telling people not to expect the entertainment industry as unfit for leadership because it has a reason. Have you seen developed countries elect actors from the said industry as much as we do in the Philippines? And where are we now?

random number 3 - pet peeves number 2
RULE: bawal magcomment sa random posts ko. beh. ang magcocomment panget. at may tae sa pwet. at may putok. tsaka buhok sa leeg. ewww.
-------
ok this is not really random anymore. kelangan lang talaga ng reply. ayoko namang pahabain yung isa pang entry.
i think the only part that owes an apology was the comment. it does come in somewhat off and was a product of emotions and not thought of actions. or let's just say i was pissed at some of it which validated my actions back then. Thus, sorry on that. Ang obnoxious hindi nagsosorry. ehem. ehem.
Other than that, here's my two cents:
Saying that you believe no one should expect anyone to ride with one's pet peeves contradicts saying that when someone deliberately violates your pet peeves, you'd get pissed.
Pag dineclare mo na pet peeve mo to, sinasabi mo sa ibang tao na wag mo yang gawin dahil mabibwisit ka. In effect, ineexpect mo na hindi niya gagawin yun dahil alam niyang naiinis ka dun. That's imposition.
And that is selfish. Lalu na kung walang kwenta yung iniimpose mo, which is the very definition of pet peeves.
However, imposition also implies that other people ride your pet peeves so that they won't deliberately or not deliberately do it to you. Hindi lang kapag deliberately niya ginawa sa'yo. BAKIT, kapag ba hindi niya sinasadyang maviolate ang pet peeves mo, hindi ka na mabibwisit?!? Kasi kung hindi, you're gonna create a paradox since supposedly ang pet peeve ay isang bagay na kinaiinisan mo regardless of whether the person had intention to piss you off or not.
Kaya nga kaartehan ang pet peeves di ba?!
Meaning stating your pet peeves actually tells the reader the things you don't like and you somehow impose it to them. Oo, pwede mong i-reason out na gusto mo lang malaman nila kung bakit ka naiinis on certain things, but that doesn't exempt them from you getting pissed when they do it undeliberately, which brings me to my next point:
Bakit sa tuwing nabibwisit ka ba sa mga maliliit na bagay na katulad ng pet peeve, ikaw lang ang naapektuhan?
Oo siguro kung ikaw yung tipo ng tao na hindi expressive sa mga kinabibwisitan niya, pwede. That ends there.
Pero pano kung ikaw yung tipo na ang poker face mo eh mataray, at na no hindi mo kayang hindi magexpress ng pagkaasar. Eh di kawawa naman ang taong wala naman talagang ginawang masama dahil naapektuhan ng kasungitan mo over something na kaartehan lang naman talaga on your part.
I'm not against pet peeves, i repeat. I have them too. I just believe they're selfish. At hindi dahil 'personal' at 'opinion' mo ang pet peeves kaya siya selfish kundi dahil it can affect other people in unjust ways.
Buti sana kung yung pet peeve mo talagang isang panget na bagay, not exactly morally wrong, pero panget na bagay lang talaga. At least pag nagreflect yung taong nasungitan mo kung anong mali at nasungitan siya, may makocorrect siya. Eh pano kung hindi?
Another point:
Saying that you wouldn't exactly call it hypocritical if on the same or another extent ay nagagawa mo rin yung pet peeve mo on others is not true. kasi naiimpose mo sila somehow.
tsaka hindi ba ironic na kunwari ang isa sa mga kaartehan mo eh ayaw mong pumapasok sa magulong kwarto tapos yung kwarto mo mismo magulo? Kahit kaartehan lang, isn't that hypocritical still? O kaya kung kunwari ang isa sa mga kaartehan mo eh ayaw mo ng ginugulo yung ayos ng unan mo pero ikaw pag sa kama ng iba ang gulo mo mag-unan. Still not hypocritical?
Again, i'm not against pet peeves. Pero kung may pet peeves kang nagagawa mo rin, wag mong itangging hypocritical ka. Ako hypocritical ako on some instances.
Ang sakin lang talaga, selfishness ang pet peeve, in all its redundancy. kung hindi mo kayang isarili yang pagkainis mo sa mga bagay na kaartehan mo lang, panindigan mo yung consequences sa pagtingin ng ibang tao sa iyo, like maarte ka, feeling, makapal mukha, etc.
------
This will be my last post on this topic. It's so pathetic na nauna pa yung entry ko sa pet peeve kesa sa nangyari sa amin sa comelec. It's so weird na ganito ang laman ng blog ko when i'm not normally the type to express opinions on such things. Or maybe I am. Depende sa pagkakakilala mo sakin. Dahil hindi ka pwede magcomment, ikaw na bahala mag-assume. :)
------
Oo, malaya kang i-assume ang kahit ano sa blog entry na to tungkol sakin. Wala akong pakeelam. Basta bawal ka magcomment. Please. Thank you.
Kung ayaw mo sa mga sinusulat ko, what the hell are you doing reading this last sentence? You had the option minutes ago.
