Vday Loves
People generally have three reactions to Valentines day. Group A spends Feb. 10 making a checklist, Feb. 11 going to Dangwa to buy 6 dozen roses or callalilys (what are those anyway) and Feb. 12 panic buying candles like Meralco's gonna close shop soon or something, and Feb. 13 daydreaming/panicking about how the next night's gonna go. Group B sits at home and with the speakers blaring Dashboard Confessional or 90's trash ballads while steeling longing glances at the razorblade on the bathroom sink. Group C wakes up on the morning of the 14th, checks their planner, sings 'can i get get get to kno-kn-know-know you bettah bettah baby' in the shower, steps in front of the mirror, winks and says 'you're awesome, babe' and skips to work, unaware that 2/3's oft he population are either getting constipated with butterflies or are suicidal.
which one are you?

Yash's <3 List
1. Flick <3's
Factory Girl. The film followed the quintessential formula x + y (x+2) = *poof* autobiographical film of the poor little rich girl. But nonetheless, it was one sex, drugs, rakenrol, fashyown, hipster joyride. Andy Warhol's a self-absorbed, neurotic, manipulative, primadonna ass. AHLAVET. AHLAVHIM. And though there is nothing morally right about the life of Edie Sedgwick, her carefreeness and 'i-love-all-people-dont-you-just-love-me-carpe-diem-f*ck-you-all-Losers-I-look-pretty-in-my-tights' attitude is the shiz. And Sienna Miller is the style icon of my life at the moment. <3<3<3 3 hearts out of 5.
Juno. Who knew fast-talking, pop culture word vomiting, slightly awkward and uber short chics could be supercool? Who knew geek love could be so endearing? Who knew Jennifer Garner was capable of such emotions? Who knew a song sung by not-exactly-diva-voiced duo could be so heartwarming? <3<3<3<3
American Gangsta. I've always known drugs are a very lucrative business. Just ask Denzel. The entire American hiphop industry seemed to have cameo'd in this film. Except for Luda and Andre 2000,who didn't get the memo. Seriously though, I've had a serious guy movie draught for the past couple of months, this more than quenched my thirst for flicks with ubercool-superbad protagonists wielding equally superbad merchandise. Once I get my dvd set back, I am so watching the last few seasons of the Sopranos. <3<3<3<3

3. Novel <3s.
So I just finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Seven books down. Bye Hogwarts. It's been fun. But did JK have a deadly pen or what? I don't think kids' psyches can survive the death toll in this one. I feel like a chapter of my life ended along with the series. I can't help but wonder when another book series will captivate so many people and elicit as much megabucks in box office tickets and merchandise as HP. Thank you JK Rowling for proving that children's books can still impress and inspire a world of cynical, hopeless adults.
4. Rockstar <3's.
For fear of incrimination I refuse to name names this time.
5. TheHipHipHurrays. "Lyrics" "writing" with my "bandmates". Planning "HHH merchandise" (sombreros baby!). "Composing" "songs" on garage band and fruity loops (yes, T, you). Forming a "production" "company" called "Bright" "Idea" "Productions". And no, all these quotation marks aren't typos. Though this little social experiment has gotten blown way out of proportion over the past couple of days, (real bands discovered we existed yo!) a big hearthugg to the people who appreciate craziness and hearthuggs and ridiculous humor. We're takin' it to Phase 2, y'all. =P

- One Week Of Danger (The Virgins). How can you NOT enjoy the intro.
- Murasaki Blue (The Dorques). If I impress you, can I undress you.
- Procrastinator (Sandwich). Possibly the most addicting video ever created. Mong Alcaraz in green and yellow. bow. Don't you just want to be a rockstar just so you can do The Archer and Kill the Cockroach?
- Anyone Else But You (The Moldy Peaches). 'Up and down left right left right BA start, just coz we use cheats doesnt mean we're not smart' 'We both have shiny happy fits of rage, You want more fans, I want more stage.' 'we sure are cute for two ugly people'
- Logistical Nightmare (Taken by Cars). (see previous entry)
- Such Great Heights(The PostalService). This 3-year addiction hasn't ended just yet.
- Krafty (New Order). Sweetest. Video. Everrrr.
- You Owe Me an IOU (Hot Hot Heat). Sing it with me. You owe me an iou, you owe me an iou, you owe me an iou, you owe me an iou. Repeat 20x.
- One Night Stand (The Pipettes). I looked across, a crowded room/ You looked at me and made my heart go BOOM/ I looked at the scoresheet, and saw a 7, and said 'baby did it hurt when you fell from heaven.
- Ahlavet (The Vince Noir Project). Ahlavet.
- Mikey Is the New Mong (Us-2 Evil-0). This is a letter to all those hipsters ion Saguijo/ Someone so cool he's more emotional than emo......Put your hoodies on, because Mikey is the new Mong. Can't wait 'til they record this, and the mixtape song.
- Digital Love (Daft Punk). Guaranteed to get ya in the mood for anything.
- Hey Scenesters! (The Cribs). Best mocksong ever. Right up there next to The Rock and Roll Lifestyle by Cake.
