This is yet another reason why I hate Twilight.

But seriously. This post made me seething with anger. How low can we get? I guess our stupid custom officials have decided that there should no longer be escapism in the country. What's next?

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

Aaahhhhhh....!!!!!

When you get to the part where it gets too disappointing
And it cuts you down to size
You can skip to the part where the hero gets the glory
Oh glory at what price

You cannot hold back the hands of time
So shift into third and rev down the line

And you turn and you flinch at the scene of a car crash
But you know it would not last
And you can only go as far away as it takes you
Until another blocks your path

Knowing that you can't turn back time
Go shift into fifth
And slam as hard as you can

Shift into fifth
And slam as hard as you can.

David Mamet, in an interview, said that "the reason there are a lot of novels about How Mean My Mother Was To Me and all that shit is because the writers may have learned something called technique, but they neglected to have a life. What the fuck are they gonna write about?"

In the same article, interviewer Alex Pappademas said that "the romantic ideal of the writer has been replaced by images of the sadsack content providers, hunched over their laptops at the corner coffehouse."

If this is the zeitgeist, then we are fucked. Please don't let it be so.

So, a year.

Was associate producer, managing editor, editor-in-chief and now media relations. Funny how things work out.

A year ago, when publishing called, i thought it would be a great opportunity to finally belong to the 'big league', so to speak. And it was. Well, it was the right opportunity that came at a right time. While I was there, I slowly realized that it was just a pit stop. I knew once I got my bearing--changed my tires, checked the engine--I'd be roaring my way into something greater.

I never expected to find myself working in the government. But then again, if I were working with someone other than my principal, I won't even give it a moment's consideration. I have high hopes for the future. I will definitely do my part in getting him where he needs to go.

Looking back, what I do now seems like a  natural progression. My principal even has close ties to the music and entertainment scene. I can't help but smile at how everything has worked out so far. Like I said, I have high hopes for the future. I have a definite plan for the coming months, even the coming year. I know things will pan out.  I'm sure of it.

I can feel it.

I wish i could proudly say that my first ever-cassette was a Metallica album. But my first was Slippery When Wet. The second was Appetite For Destruction. My third was Ride The Lightning.

The induction speeches had me teary-eyed. I never pictured Hetfield being married and having kids. I never thought I'd see them cut their long hairs short and wear three-piece suits. I am so happy for this band. I grew up on riffs, rock-operas, 8-minute instrumentals, palm-muted, down-strokes, open-E chords. After seeing this, I remember my first-ever band. Tumugtog kami sa isang piyesta sa Manggahan sa San Pedro, Laguna. We played Slayer, The Cult, and, of course, Metallica. Isa lang ang pedal ng drummer namin but he was able to do the double-bass kick somehow. He even had the curls like Lars Ulrich had.

Ah, I miss playing. Furthermore, I miss playing with reckless abandon. When you don't care whether people listened to you or not. The mere fact that you're up there on stage, playing music you love is all that matters. I'm going to start coming up with them palm-muted, down-stroked open, uhm, D-chords, and soon I'll be up on stage once more.

These dudes inspired me then to play music. It's amazing how they kicked me up the arse once more and encouraged me to do so again.

Metal Militia!

“Battle not with monsters, lest you become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss 

also gazes into you.”  Fredrich Nietzsche


Was re-reading Watchmen before I go see the movie. Came across this line from Rorschach's story on chapter 6. I'm through battling. I don't care anymore. I don't want to feel bad anymore. I don't care what you think of me anymore. I don't care what you say of me anymore. If anyone feels that I'm a bad person, just remove me from your contact list. I won't take it against you. As the title of this post suggests, I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. We're sure to cross paths at some point. If  we bump into each other, forgive me if I don't make the first move to greet you. As far as I'm concerned, you're all friends still. If you greet me then I'll know it's real friendship. I see you. I know you see me. If I don't approach you, it's just because I'm wary of what you might have heard. If you approach me, then I'll know you reserve judgement regardless of the circumstances. if only for that, I'm grateful to you and I will shake your hand. Maybe even hug you.


I value friendship now more than ever. To those who ask how I am and truly wish for my happiness, THANK YOU. The rest, excuse me as I'd like to live my life the way everyone else seems to be doing.

Subject: Morrissey- It's Not Your Birthday Anymore
Security: Public
Was tagged. At least I think I was. Anyway, I tried it and it was amusing. Here are the instructions:

- Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc. on shuffle.
- For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
- YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS. DON'T LIE.
- Tag 10 friends (make me #11 so I can see your results). or however many you want...
- Everyone tagged has to do the same thing.

I assumed it was meant to be funny in a way, as you never know what might turn up when you put your iPod on shuffle. Indeed, I was surprised that I had Best of 80's and Miley Cyrus songs. Actually, I did know I had them. The point is, for the most part some songs that popped up were appropriate for the questions. And while I find the answers amusing, I just know for sure that no one's laughing.
