One of Those Retarded Moments

Tina: Manong wala naman pong English translation tong DVD na binigay nyo.

Manong: Okay sige, check natin.

(fed the DVD to the player and waited)

Manong: Hmmm... oo nga no. Sige palitan natin (fiddles with the remote, pushed "Chinese 2" on the Subtitle Translation function and magically, the chinese subtitles turned to english) Ay, ma'am sa chinese 2 po ang pindutin nyo! (Shows me how it's done)

Tina: Ahh... so meron pala. Sige po okay na.

Manong: Si ma'am talaga ibabalik nyo meron naman palang english translation! Hahaha!

Tina: (Napikon sabay napa-mewang) Eh Hello, manong. Sa tingin mo, pano ko malalaman na ang "Chinese 2" pala eh ibig sabihin "English" translation?! Di ba?!

Manong: Ahehehe... oo nga po sabi ko nga.

Tina: (deep inside) Taena tong gagong to ah ako pa pinag-mukhang di marunong magbasa.

Waki The Musical

Yes, I've been busy.

Drunken Kingdom

We got invited by the Drunken Masters for a little pick-me-up at their urban castle. My colleagues and I decided to drop by but we planned not to stay long. At first, Methink it would be such a fucken drag making small talk with my bosses and I wasn't prepared for it. However, my colleagues who are big on alcohol, were persuaded to hangout, not for an extra hour or two, but a whopping 8 hours, doing nothing but either slur their words or shouting their heads off in my general direction... or both. You could say it would've been funner had I got myself drunk as well but being the resident killjoy, I've got my job all cut-out.

And now the highlights of the night...

Movies and Playing with Words

I keep toying with the idea of signing myself up for a boxing/martial arts training camp, is that normal? Got to see lots of movies, Kung-Fu Panda, The Incredible Hulk and this:

Yes, it's in Spanish. Bite me.

Yesterday, Rhae and I went to the movies to watch Get Smart a film re-make of a 60's Espionage spoof series with the same title, created by Mel Brooks. The movie was top-billed by Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway as Maxwell Smart and Agent 99, respectively. I've been waiting for two months to see this film and it was worth the wait. It's funny, Carell was awesome, Hathaway was surprisingly good (I just don't see her as a spy and all, sue me) and the special effects was awesome! I lurve it zooo phaken much!!! Go see! Go see! Go see! Now, back to my uninteresting life...

Rain and The City

So I bumped into the Ex-Bestfriend a couple of days ago. She looked good though, she got thinner and she's wearing a brand new pair of green chucks which I approve. You can bet that I'm having mixed feeling about our brief meeting. However, I've been indulging way too much into this whole mess and I resolve not to be totally miserable about it. Maybe if I don't think about it too much, it'll go away on its own. HAH! I didn't like how Rhae giggled while I was talking to the Ex-Bestfriend. It got to me more than the fact that I actually saw my ex-bestfriend. I know she meant to be funny about it but that was not a good time to laugh about the situation. I'll just let it go.

Read My Mind by The Killers

This song was introduced to me by someone I used to know and got addicted to it mainly because it reminded me of someone. Written by Brandon Flowers, there used to be something in this song that haunts me and came a time when I would listen to this song and nothing else. Although some things have changed, I'm still in-like with this song and Brandon is still a hot little fox, haha!

On a totally different note, I actually dreamed of listening to the song "Good Thing" by Reel Big Fish, last night. Yeah, figure that out.

Doble-Cara Moment

For me, June started out with a bang so loud, my ears are still ringing up to now. My plight to Moni-dom has officially started and so far, I'm getting my ass kicked around. I'm currently juggling three jobs that requires patience. I'm not what you'd call a patient person and I fantasized about suddenly screaming my head off while I start to whack my monitor using my keyboard just to let it all out more times than I care to count.

If it wasn't for my sheer will and determination to swim in a Olympic-sized pool filled with monies and bright, shiny objects, I'd rather go fishing or maybe go home and watch some cute Korean Telenovellas so I can distract myself from watching my mediocre life pass me by.

Sometimes I wish my life is as action-packed as reel life, y'know? Ever since I bought this cheapass DVD player, I began acting like the ultimate hermit. Like I said, as soon as I hit the keyboard, I juggle three gigs then go straight home, unlike before where I would beg Paeng, Rhae and Peter to hang-out with me after shift. Having had a recent falling-out with the Ex-Bestfriend made things worse. It fanned my growing hatred for people in general, confirmed my suspicions that relationships romantic or otherwise, are just disappointments waiting to happen and as much as I try to shake off these thoughts but it just won't go away.

Despite the anger, I still wanna forgive her and hang-out with her and be BFF again. Being friendless sucks so bad sometimes I wanna smack my own mug for turning out to be this horribly spiteful person. I have no idea exactly when I started hating myself but sometimes I find that I do. More than the usual, in fact. I get up in the morning and I can't help mocking myself. No friends, no life and no fucking direction. Too proud to be sorry and too damn stubborn to take the Ex-Bestfriend back and with only take-outs and useless DVDs to keep me company. How lame is that?

The no friends part is my fault. I seem to have mastered the art of disappearing on my old friends, ignoring their presence until they get tired of asking me how am I doing. The thing is, loneliness is second nature to me that I'm not really depressed about the whole thing which is weird. Some would say I'm in denial but I dunno. I'm having trouble putting things to words so I'll break it down...

Tina 1: I'm sad that I'm friendless, I recognize my mistakes and feel that I should've tried my best to keep my temper and pride in control so things wouldn't be as shitty as this.

Tina 2: Dude I'm so not at fault at this. She deserves to be deserted because she is a worthless piece of shit. Oh, remember the time she ditched you for her other friends? You went home ALONE at 3 in the morning when she promised you she'd crash at your place because it's not safe to go home alone at 3 in the fucking morning. Did she cared enough about your safety? Of course not! She was too busy getting piss drunk! Boohoo, get over it.

Tina 1: But if memory serves me right, I actually dedicated at least three posts about her which means that this is a very important issue to me. Why harp on and on about someone if you don't care about 'em, right?

Tina 2: It's because I hate her. She never tried hard enough. Not then and obviously not now. She is a lousy best friend who can't even get her shit together. Her mother knew about it and now, you do too. What I need is closure.

Tina 1: This is a great time in your life to make better friends. You know even your other friends hates you, right?

Tina 2: Also, Can I just say, stop saying I have no friends, of course I have friends. They just don't care and so do I.

Tina 1: I'm not happy but I'm not too sad about it either. I'm "okay" with it. I guess you could say, I've become too jaded for my own good. But I hate hating this person because I don't enjoy hating anyone. It's bothersome and pointless.

Tina 2: So I'll leave it at that.

Food, Friends, Crocs and Burning Bridges

It was Peter's 27th birthday and most of my bitches were present. The food was great, we stuffed ourselves with pizza, pasta, beer and more pizza!

That Boy

Recently, I had a very revealing talk with someone from Porno Land. He's been having some problems with his girl friend and for reason unknown to me, he told me every gritty detail about it even though I told him that its okay if he won't tell me about it in the first place. Honestly, its not that I'm respecting his privacy or shit like that but more like, I just don't give a shit. Apparently he thinks I do give a shit which is weird and funny.
