if i ever lose my faith in you

i was riding the MRT on the way home and sting was on my ipod. the melody is so nostalgic and the lyrics are reminiscent of the good ole days. search for the lyrics.

unattainable.

i am sensing a pattern:

is it just the idea of the unattainable?


fuck it.

of endings, realizations, and looking back

i've reached the end. the countdown is complete. 'twas nothing short of a miracle that i was able to manage myself throughout that countdown. counting backwards is easy. you begin with a certain number and you end up in the absolute zero. i'm not sure though if i should start counting again from zero -- which we know has an infinite ending.

lucky seven, ikaw ba yan?

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

Somewhere between the hours of wake and lalaland, a friend made me realize something that I think I’ve already known before -- things will never be the same again, period. I was bruised and in pain, battered and broken, hopeful and destroyed, assuming and in denial that I was either too naïve or jaded to actually see it. However, as truthful and as painful as it may sound, I still have my history to (not hold on to, but) look back to. He made me realize that what I had was something so beautiful and no person, orc, mutant, or mongrel can take it away from me. It was something pure, personal, and something just… beautiful! I just needed that special lens to view it in that perspective.

We discussed a lot of things that, when I replay everything in my mind, I also realized that I needed to say things out loud for it to be real and I be reassured.

Basta, in that conversation, I was able to look for the missing pieces and it just needs me to make sure that everything fits perfectly.

Thank you for that, my friend.

ciao!

papa's day

uncooperative

ang panahon ayaw makicooperate -- malamig, mahangin, umuulan.

sinong hindi maaasar?

sabado, gabi, tahimik. leche.


oo leche ka, nakakapikon ka na. nagmomodang emo na ko dahil naiisip ko doormat ako.
pero tama na ang emote, tama na rin ang drama mo. ayawan na.

the un-happening

i can't believe i wasted almost two hours watching the unhappening.

m. night shyamalan should have stopped on the sixth sense. all the next movies were just lame. including this. boooooooo.

lame. lame. lame. lame. lame. lame.

ugh.

clairvoyant

may ESP pala ako kahit papano.

kaya basahin mo ang isip ko:






kuha mo?

please?

so kelan?

i'm still here. i'll always be here. don't be that long.

homecoming

*tear*

ang sarap lang isipin.

ciao!

a mad, mad world

it was a very long time since i was so excited to watch a movie (maybe part of the reason is that i don't watch movies that often anymore). and most of the time, the in-your-face marketing propaganda does not live up to expectations.

i just watched the dark knight this evening and my god, the hype didn't do justice to it at all. i can say that this is the best superhero movie i have ever watched. the movie is just brilliant.
the movie takes us into gotham city and reintroduces us to the culture, morals, and ethics of its city (which i think mirror all the demons society is facing today -- superficial morality, terrorism, politics, and social ethics). though, i was a bit surprised that the mood is not that dark and heavy as almost all of the batman movies were, after the movie you feel just as dark and intense.

the most notable performance were actually of heath ledger as the joker. his take on the joker is by far the best -- completely outshining jack nicholson's portrayal of the same character. he takes us into his character's psyche and sometimes, even offering an explanation as to why he is the villain. his performance is so brilliant; those nuances like the slight bob of the head, the intensity of his stare, the unconscious licking of the lips, and even those few comic one-liners (which actually has very heavy implications).
what i like best about the movie is the way it tried to explain why batman, the hero and joker, the villain need each other. gotham is so dark, mysterious, disturbing, and mad. as the quote says, "in this mad, mad world, only the mad are sane." role reversals and role redemptions should not be uncommon.
anyway, these are a few of my favorite lines

Batman: Why do you want to kill me?
The Joker: I don't want to kill you. What would I do without you?

(to Batman)
The Joker: ... you complete me.

The Joker: Introduce a little anarchy... Upset the established order... Well then everyone loses their minds!

go watch!

ciao!

mad world - gary jules

this is a great song. period.

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world
