lots to say~~
ohkay, first things first, one of my favorite websites is down. i don't know why... but that won't really stop me from saying things (about the guv'ment and stuff..). when you look at it, the net IS the free voice we have... not really free per se, but i do hope you get what i mean. from now on, in reference to School of Rock, i shall now call those with political power and whatnot, THE MAN. on that note, i never imagined that Richard Linklater would direct something like that.... as opposed to his other works, that is...
on to the topic!!
>>my eldest sister once told us that there is a place in our country (i think it was Palawan...) that would be SOOOO commercialized, it's natural beauty will cease to exist. THE MAN said it was for tourism.... inside, the activist in me screams "WTF?!! TOURISM??! You just destroyed what that place had to offer by putting high rise hotels, CREEP!!! !!@#&^%$#!!!!"
>>from what i heard, the Banawe Rice Terraces kind of faces the same predicament as the latter... putting in technomological crap (yes, that IS technoMOlogical.) there would destroy the rice terrace's form. aei asked me (kasama ko siya kanina) if petitions are going around to stop that. i don't know. then she asked if petitions ever worked and i said that thank goodness that the La Mesa Dam was saved... but like every horror flick with a 'kind of' good ending, there's always that last scare... so who knows if that would still stand a decade from now. THE MAN has so much firepower..... but it takes but one ammo jam in that weapon of hers for her trigger happy-ness to end. JAM IT NOW PEOPLE!!!
speaking of aei, i went with her to robinson's metro east and sta. lucia today. supposedly, gio and fran were coming along but plans changed and well... their loss. FLIP MODE:
bale, dun, tumingin-tingin kami ng toys, ng damit *gag* at ng mga advertisements na *gag*... tapos, pagpunta namin sa booksale ata yun o ano (yung katabi ng bloooooood donation drive event.... blooooood.....) nakahanap ako ng dalawang Arthur Clarke novels (idol!! go science PICTION!!) at ng isang Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (abridged version of A Study in Scarlet).. matagal na akong naghahanap ng Sherlock Holmes mystery novels.... kaso yung madalas kong nakikita eh yung Hounds of Baskerville pero di ko binibili kasi nga, MARAMI AKONG NAKIKITA NUN. last book yun ni Sir Arthur, kaya huli ko rin siyang babasahin..
aside from book hunting (INTERNATIONAL BOOK FAIR THIS AUGUST!!! IPON NA NG PAMBILIIIIII!!!), lumalalabas na rin ang 2-d complex tendencies ni aei. 'kala mo graduate ka na ah?? hinde!!' at least di ako nag-iisa. go 2-d complex!!! bumalik sa point '97 yung akin, yung una kong nakita sina Cloud Strife, Aoshi Shinomori at Ky Kiske... particularly kay Cloud, kasi may SD na keychain na advent version niya na binili sakin ni aei. pero as i've said, i've moved on..... I've attached myself like a parasite to Fuuma Monou.
napagana ko kasi yung ps1 games ko sa ps2. hello Theme Hospital! Hello Lunar! HELLO RIVAL SCHOOLS!!!!! so shempre, nagi-ingay-ingay ako ng kaabnormalang boses, balik sa dating ugali na kinakausap ang sarili habang naglalaro, kinakausap ang tv screen na hindi ka naman sasagutin, di natutulg, di na nag-aaral (OOPS)<
what can i say? i grew up playing computer games. from the family computer, down to ps2 that i own and the new console games i've played in various frineds' houses... from the first computer games such as STELLAR7 to counterstrike (yung mga ngayon, tulad ng warcraft3, di pa.).... heheh, see my november 2k6 entries... not many people, no, FEMALES, have grown up the same way as i did. their loss. while they were busy role playing jobs, i was busy playing role-playing games... hehehehehehehehehehehe....... saving the world from destruction was far batter than playing with tea cups pretending that those dolls could talk back to you. ack....
i doubt i will ever grow up. comics, TOYS!, and computer games has been part of my life. i was playing computer games before i learned how to run, before i started school.
may generation gap na talaga. ideals no longer count for something in this world other than unfulfilled ideas. you plan, you start, but people push you soooo back telling you you're an outmode (ROBOTS!) and your plans do not have much merit in this world. eww... i'd rather be this idealist who never sleeps than be part of a society that never thinks. ewww... yun nga, kinwento din ni aei yung UP na na-experience noon ng mga magulang niya at yung kaibahan ng UP na nakaka-enkwentro niya ngayon araw-araw. iba eh. IBA TALAGA. kahit naman sa mga narinig kong kwento sa mga kapatid ko at sa brother-in-law ko. iba na talaga ang panahon ngayon.
ahh well.. it's just, i kind of have this feeling that almost everyone in the world has been brainwashed. media plays a big part, but so is the society that lets it so. it is soooooo easy to spot what the trend is. tapos kadalasan, kapag di ka 'in', outcast ka. tapos, shempre, nag-emerge ang mga outcast-kuno bilang mga posers. music now has changed. try this: pick one genre (pop or rock, or rnb, or hip-hop o kahit ano) then listen to ten tracks from the 1990-1998 and then listen to songs from 2000-2007. iba. siguro nga dahil panahon ko ang 90's kaya ganito ako, pero di rin eh... nung 90's naman okay lang sakin yung pop, heck, fan ako ng Spice Girls! which reminds me, may reunion concert nga pala sila...
ang main dislike ko lang ngayon ay yung values... um, meron pa nga bang natitirang values??? yung lumalabas sa bahay... kay manong driver ba nakakapagpasalamat ka pa ba dahil sa nahatid ka sa destinasyon mo? tinutulungan mo ba yung mga manang ale sa pag-akyat at pagbaba ng mga bagahe sa mahabang ummm...stairs??
dami nun ah.
