~WeLcomE sa aking site ~

sabi ng mga taong malapit sa akin, masyado daw active ang aking "mind"...

marami raw ako lagi iniisip. preoccupied kumbaga. kahit kausap mo ko ngayon, merong mga bagay na di ko maiwasang sumagi sa isip ko...

at dahil don, inisip nila na bakit di daw ako magdala ng notebook, isulat ko daw lahat ng nasa isip ko...
kaya eto...

naisipan ko'ng ihiwalay to sa isa ko pang site.
Dito mababasa niyo ang mga kwento ko tungkol sa aking mga napansin, nakita, nabasa, napanuod, narinig.

andito rin ang aking mga reklamo, hinaing, pagpapapansin, paggawa ng problema at paghahanap ng solusyon...

... sama niyo na ang panawagan sa mga nawawalang tao, alagang hayop o sarili... mga wanted na tao, buy and sell, lipat bahay, wanted tubero...

... at pati na yung mga lumang pelikula ni sharon cuneta at vilma santos!

peace!

Hay! Would you agree if i tell you that life is a cross between being sweet and bitter? i don't know, it just popped into my somewhat tired brain. So that you may know, i didn't get any sleep because i rather chose to watch this film entitled Grind. It was one of those films where this young, ambitious, wanna-be-pro skater does everything he can so he could get this Super-popular Pro skater to get to watch one of his tapes where of course, shows his great talent. Of course obstacles come their way, and predictably, you would know that he would be popular in the end. It wasn't new actually but i really love the part where the same scene happened to him in the first part of the movie also happened in the end. Basta! it was really great... then i wasn't contented and i was really in the mood to wash my brain off so i watch another movie. Trainspotting. ive been dying to watch this movie and hell yeah! di nga ako nagkamali! As in! if you watch this by yourself and you really put yourself to the character of Ewan McGregor, shite! [as they would often say in the movie] as in literally, "ma-aaning" ka talaga! The story is all about drugs. not just cannabis but injectable drugs, and you know that scene where they were all "high" [4 of them] and the baby was just crawling and everything tapos one day, the mother woke the other four with her loud screaming dahil you know why? she found the baby all bloated up, dark face, and dead in her crib. They were all high they never get to notice the baby! they all forgot about her...[by the way the baby's name is dawn] and alam niyo ano ginawa nila? after the screamng and shouting... ayuN, "hit" ule sila to forget what happened. hay. ayowz. May kadiring scene pala, there was this time that Ewan McGregor wanted to get a "hit" so bad that the only available drug there is was a suppository. Wala siyang nagawa, he thrashed it up his anus and while waiting for the effect, ayun at na-jebs siya! he went to this pub na sobrang dumi yuyng rest room. as in! kaya lang wala siya nagawa! di na niya napigilan. after his "business" ayun saka lang niya naalala yung drug na nilagay niya sa anus niya! you know what he did?!! he looked for it don sa bowl, jebs and all! kadiri talaga! kaya lang feeling ko naging symbolism na nung buong katawan niya fit into the toilet bowl tapos he was like swimming in a crystal-clear water... tapos nakita niya yung drug. my own interpretation of that scene was that he would do anything basta drugs ang pinagusapan. wala siyang pakialam. ALthough okay naman nung huli kasi nagbago naman siya. Yung nakaka-"aning" lang talaga was that scene in his bedroom... hindi siya nakapag-"hit" for a couple of days tapos lumabas na yung effect. As in yung baby, nasa ceiling nagko-crawl ng pabaliktad, yung friend niya nakaupo sa tass ng pinto banging the door with the chain in his feet tapos meron sa wall, meron din sa ilalim ng kumot niya! basta as in! i was in awe! Wow. after that mga 7am na ata yun nung nakaalis kami, i went home, tapos ayun nakaidlip, nagising ako mga tipong mgtutwelve na eh yung class ko 1130. Gosh! late na ko. pero when i arrived sa school, ayun, they were setting up this table don sa labas, mang-bi-B.P. daw kami for free instead na magbahay bahay kasi wala daw permit. Grabe, halos wala akong tulog tapos sabay ganun. I thought it would just be easy. HIndi pala! You can't easily convince people to have their B.P's taken. dapat talaga madiskarte ka. grabe, i almost lost my voice... and ang ingay pa sa labas i can't hear the Korotkoff sound [as my prof would say] hehehe.. after a long day, we all went to ministop and i rewarded myself a full meal of fried wanton and a large iced tea. Wow. so much has happened this day. too bad, it's saturday and i'm stuck here but it's okay, i still have a written report to finish. and besides, this is the ONLy time i could rest...

i could still remember when Red, a friend of my sister [also taking up communication arts at letran] once told me that because of their advertising subject, iba na raw ang tingin niya sa mga commercials ngayon... He would look beyond the catchy jingles, bright colors, popular endorser, etc... I really can't say but when the time came i took up this 1yr course, that's the only time i fully understand what he said. Okay i know i've kind of lost you but let's put it this way. You never get to REally notice something unless you put your mind to it. You know what i mean... When i started last june, i had this nutrition and anatomy subject. Before, i just ate what i want and never really appreciated all the system working on my body. But because of that subject, honestly, i get to appreciate and was actually in AWE in all the things ive learned! as in! Believe it or not, once i chew a bubble gum or eat candy, i just dont "eat" it. I actually think of all the processes ive learned in nutrition. I know it would bore you BIG time but hey it's really nice to learn stuff! Like when you know that the candy is sweet, the enzyme, amylase is working on your taste buds. Me and my classmates became health-conscious! hahaha... when we eat we would talk about how protein, carbohydrates, fats and minerals would be absorbed by the body. Eto pa, don't you ever wonder how our heart pumps blood? i could tell you the complete process actually, pero alam ko again mabobore lang kayo... how about, how the brain works? yung mga nerves, how they transmit impulses... Yung mga cranial nerves... Hay... Last friday, kakatapos lang ng report sa respiratory system, and ive realy learned a lot. Di ba, we often take for granted yung lungs natin? marami pala nangyayari don... As usual, napapaisip na naman ako ngaun. When i breathe, i just don't breathe. I would think of gas transport, of Diffusion happening on my pulmonary capillary, o yung perfusion... To be honest, this subject bore me to death before, pero ngayon, it's one interesting piece! Sa monday, kami na ang magrereport. Digestive System. For sure, i'll be learning new things na naman... Hmmm... wonder if what's happening to me now is primary peristalsis...

i thought it was just another day. another thursday. tuesday pa lang, lagi na lang kami pinapauwi ni sir... may problema ata siya. pero di niya sinasabi kung ano. lumipas ang araw na ito na parang ganun lang. after ng break namin, akyat kami. ang tagal ni sir. feeling namin wala na naman pasok. so bumaba na kami. kaya lang di pa kami nakakalabas ng building, pinatawag kami ni BroWnie. ung bossing ng aming ala kawenta-kwentang skul. Tatanggalin na raw si sir!!!! Ha?! anu daw?! nung una ayaw naming maniwala lahat. naghalo ang aming naramdaman. galit? inis? ewan. basta ako, natulala. hindi makapaniwala sa aking mga naririnig. Lumabas kami sa office ni BroWnie. nag-usap sa labas. papayag ba kami'ng mawala si sir? HIndi. sagot nila.

kinabukasan, nagkaron ng haka-haka na baka bumalik si sir. HIndi naman ganon kabilis makahanap ng ipapalit sa kanya. hindi kaya ng isang prof ang buong araw na magturo. nabuhayan kami ng loob. lalo na nung sinabi na andon daw si sir sa baba. laking tuwa ko nung nakita ko siyang pumasok sa classroom. inaantay ko na lang na sabihin niya, joke lang pala yung nangyari. na nagawan ng paraan.

kaya lang sino yung kasama niya?! nanlumo ako nung sinabi niyang yung taong kasama niya eh ang papalit sa kanya. tsk. tsk. tsk. di na ako tumingin sa kanya. dahil alam ko na ang susunod na mangyayari. yumuko ako. tumingin ng palihis. binaba ang buhok. at yun di ko na napigilan. tumulo na ng kusa ang mga luha ko. nung una mamasa-masa lang mata ko. nakuha ko pang ngumiti. pero ng banggitin niya ang mga katagang, "Goodbye, ROxy" ayun di ko na talaga natiis. nakakagulat kasi kao ang tipo ng tao na kahit anung gawin mo sa akin, di mo ko mapapaiyak. hindi ko mainitindihan kung bakit nung araw na yun, kusang tumulo ang mga luha ko.

Naisip ko, goodbye's aren't forever. kasi nangyari na yan nung minsan saken. akala ko wala na talaga. once you said goodbye, period na agad yun. pero i was wrong. isang araw, bigla na lang kami nagkita and feeling ko na rekindle yung feelings. pero alam mo yun. i've come to this realization that there are really no goodbye's. only new beginnings.

while thinking of what i'm going to post here, i was staring at my cellphone and nakita ko yung word na ito. yun kasi yung profile name ko.
i've come across this word when i was reading jessica zafra's manananggal terrorizes manila. feeling ko favorite word niya to. i got curious kung anu ibig sabihin nito so i've looked it up sa dictionary. and here's what i found.

insipid [adj]
: lacking taste or flavor or tang [hindi ko alam kung pareho yung tang na iniisip ko sa sinabi ng dictionary niya dito.]
: lacking significance or impact
: not pleasing to the sense of taste

ah. yun pala yun. napansin ko nabanggit niya yung word na "lacking" so parang "in the absence of"... tsaka yung "mot pleasing"... so i've come to this conclusion that the word insipid is a negative word... *agree???

teka alam ko nagtataka kayo kung bakit i'm making this whole thing a big deal. kasi ganito yun. mahabang kwento pero ika nga nila, to make the long story short...
... hirap tayong mga pinoy makipag communicate sa english [tama?] so isa ito sa mga naisip kong paraan para ma enhance natin ang ating vocabulary. [tama?] tsaka sabi nila para kunwari matalino gumamit tyo ng mga malalalim na english. [pero teka, wag basta gagamit pag hindi alam ang meaning!] pag kunwari, nagbabasa tayo, pag merong salitang bago sa ating pandinig, sana mag exert naman tayo ng konting effort para tignan sa dictionary ang meaning ng word na yun. and after that, bakit hindi natin gamitin sa pang araw-araw na kabuhayan natin? Oo. alam ko corny sasabihin niyo. Yan din inisip ko non. Hindi naman tayo socialite para makipag-englishan sa kanto. sa totoo lang, okay naman yubng taglish para sa ken ha, kasi kumbaga it will serve as a stepping stone, kaya lang naman nasabihan na maarte masyado yung taglish kasi yung mga pa-sosyal nilagyan ng kaartehan. Pero isipin din natin, pag nasanay tayo sa pagsalita ng english, pag nagtrabaho tayo sa abroad, di ba mas madali? hindi na tayo mahihiya. kumbaga gamay na natin. o db astig?!
... so bakit di natin simulan sa word na ito. hmmm... INSIPID. according don sa binigay kong meaning "lacking taste o flavor"...
EKSENA: sa karinderia. umorder ka ng ulam at kanin. tapos may juice. matabang. ikaw dahil nakatatak sa isip mo yung ibig sabihin ng insipid, bigla kang mapapasabi ng...
"AY! naku anu ba yan! napaka-insipid ng juice!" o db?

isa pang meaning "lacking significance or impact"
EKSENA: may kaibigan ka, nagkukwento tungkol sa isang libro. maganda daw. pero nabasa mo, walang dating syo. eto ang masasabi mo...
"Naku ha, nabasa ko rin yang libro na yan, hay, napaka-insipid!"

last na meaning "not pleasing to the sense of taste"
EKSENA: dinala ka ng kaibigan mo sa isang exotic restaurant. pinakain ka kunwari ng "bayawak". hindi naman lahat magugustuhan yun ng ganun ganun na lang. eto ang masasabi mo...
"Ewww!!! ang insipid ng lasa ng bayawak!!!!"

o di ba? at least unti-unti nadadagdagan ang ating vocabulary. sana may natutunan kayo ngaun.

LAST COMMENT: "napaka-insipid naman ng post nito!" Hahaha!!!!

*peace tayong lahat.
