I'm really getting old, you know. But as they say, Age Is A State Of Mind. (Do not ask me what stage I'm in!)
My budding interests do not reflect my real age! Instead of feeling and experiencing, the river has started flowing to creating and building. And it is starting to flood! Good thing I'm damn good at being a beaver.
It'a good thing too, you're a crazy b*tch who makes me laugh with all your megaphone decibels of expressing your thoughts and emotions. And I'm really happy that you're starting to trust me the way I trust you. Bah, told you it's normal at the start of every relationship.
Whenever I'm alone with you... You make me feel like I am young again... :)

On the other hand, this really makes me feel special. Really. I think. HAHAHA thanks for trusting me enough to post this! It's a good thing you know, trust :p WE SHOULD PRACTICE IT MORE OFTEN, MEG!

There's something liberating when you realize you've been a big waste of time. You realize that hey, you're not that big a deal. You may love yourself, sure. But if no one's there to appreciate your self-appreciation, what's the point?
The moment you realize this, you are magically free from all the demons and ego issues that plague you. There is an empowering calm that envelopes. Tells you, hey it's okay to be a waste of time. At least you know what are now right? That's the most important part. You were a waste of time, so just own it. OWN IT.
Sure you gave a lot of yourself into it. But at the end of it all, you realize, there's always more to give. Simply because love is a waste of time if you don't give it your all. YOU GIVE IT YOUR ALL. Now I admit, I didn't give it my all. I gave a lot, but it COULD'VE been all. Ergo, it was still a waste.
Truth is I would turn everything back if I could. Retrace my steps, do everything I should've done. Could've. It's a lot if's and could's and should's. I think first relationships are like that. Lots of mistakes and errors. Things to look back on and say, hey I'm not wasting my time on that same mistake!
The only thing that keeps me jaded from all this relationship hoopla is the knowledge that I will do everything better next time around. BY GOD, I will do everything to make it work. It's the only way I think love should be. Never give up. Always hope. Always love. It's the most beautiful thing in the world.
Okay, Im done letting out thoughts. Now back to work. And continuing to hope. :)
"Chemistry, they say, is what attracts people to one another. That may be. But if, after the chemistry does its work, you don't rise to a higher level of consciousness, the chemistry will eventually turn into hatred. The passion will still be there, but the attraction will become malicious and revengeful. That's what soap operas are based on, and a lot of so-called great literature. That's what a lot of people still call love."
Ito yung 'pag gising mo sa umaga, maiisip mo siya. Maalala mo yung mga nangyari kahapon. Tapos maiisip mo kung ano na talaga kayo ngayon. Simula sa araw na ito.
Iiyak ka na. Iiyak ng iiyak. Ito ang gagawin mo pagkagising na pagkagising mo sa umaga. Halong ayaw mo at gusto mo ang mga luha mo. Bubuhos lang ng bubuhos.
Iiyak ka kasi kahapon na-realize mo kung ano ang bigat niya sa buhay mo. At ngayon, kinabukasan, alam mong hindi na siya magiging sa'yo. Nahuli ka na naman. Palagi kang late bloomer.
Nalasing na ako kagabi. At matagal ko nang hindi naramdaman yun. Yung gusto mo talagang malasing. Yung kailangan mong malasing. Nanuod ka ng Urban Dub. 'Pag uwi mo, nagwawala ka sa "Let The Music Play" sa kitchen. Tapos sa kama, nasa "Cannonball" ka na.
Hindi titigil yan. Kasabay ng sarap ng musika ang walang tigil na pagbuhos. Kasi sa bawat patak ng luha, papalabas sa sistema mo, na tagaktak sa pisngi mo, dahan-dahan siyang sumasama. Hanggang sa pag-alis niya, aalalayan mo siya at iingatan.
This is part of letting go. Sabi nga ng tatay ko, ganyan ang buhay. Ibuhos mo ngayon ang lahat. Namnamin ang sarap ng lahat ng nangyayari sa'yo.

Good news! I got nominated this month at the Urian Awards. And we're starting this afternoon Kristine Hermosa soap to be aired this October. I play the role of a young and idealistic fresh graduate policeman. So if anyone's been seeing me on Jack TV with that stupid coconut hair, blame ABS-CBN. Anyway, I didn't win at the Urian. But the guy who beat me in supporting actor category, Mr. Rafael Rossell, is Kristine Hermosa's love interest in aforementioned soap. So I'll be seeing that fucker quite often. Kidding of course! I'm really happy for him. :)
Prinsesa ng Banyera! To be directed by this total performer dude, Andoy Ranay, who's incindentally totally gay and "bonggacious" and an absolute great fun to be hanging around with on the set. :)

I've been addicted for about a week now to facebook. www.facebook.com. WWW.FACEBOOK.COM. It's like friendster, but with really cool statistics games like HoboWars and Fight Club and everything under the sun. Which basically add 1million cool points. (Remember that college A1 bench friends? When I used to spend hours on the bench making high scores on dopewars, oblivious to you strange people living in the real world :p HAHAHA!!!)
What the hell, why am I plugging it??? Don't join aryt? If it becomes popular it won't be so cool anymore. Plus I like facebook because it is somewhat a private site. Kinda like myspace.

PenPen friends! To all those who might be wondering, yes Manikako is still the featured group for the month of September. And I'm still actually very open to extending their residence because as it turns out, it's tough finding a worthy replacement for them. (Any suggestions for young and dynamic groups out there?)
click your clicker on this if you don't know what PenPen is:
I am a Leo man. July 23 is my birthday. So that makes me a Leo cusp. More specifically, the Cancer-Leo cusp. Because my birthday falls on the Cancer side instead of the Virgo.
Cancer (Jun 21 - July 22) Leo (July 23 - Aug 22) Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22)
Wala lang. I've been quite interested in all this love astrology shite lately. Realizing the duality of my signs, no wonder I've been confused my first 21 years of life!
I kinda got into some kind of business. The FOOD business that is. Well it's not really MY business, because I am just helping out. Anyway to cut it short, my Mom has this little kainan just off Tomas Morato, aptly named PenPen. Haha.

So I posted this really sloppy elchay entry November of last year, about my retired Nastase sneakers. But Mr. Jerome Gomez texted me yesterday he wanted to use it for a MetroHim issue. It's really sloppily written, quite long with lots of digressing and pooping around. So I edited it for about 50 minutes today to bump it up to MetroHim standards.
I don't know how much of it he's going to use, or if he's going to use it at all. But he only told me to send the damn thing already. So... Just thought I'd repost it. And enable the commenting. Because the old comment-disabled entry didn't really do Nastase full justice. I changed the photo from B&W to a colored one.
the modems have been screwy mofos today. IT REALLY PISSES ME OFF TO SEE MY WIFI METER GO ZERO AND THAT PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED SIGN GOING UP. but i get such pleasure from knowing that all i have to do is turn it off and on and im back again! hee hee, such a kick out of it... eniweiz
TODAY! the live recording we did january last year i think got played on "in the raw" all so sudden and unexpected. it was like,
huy may sesend ako pakinggan mo tell me what you think...
sige! patugtog namin mamaya sa in the raw sunday ngayon.
OKAY.
but wow, it was WOW. first time i've heard anything of ours on the radio. anyway, mr. brew commented:
- compelling sound (you're jerking me off! ;p) - nice arrangement (haha! thanks i'm better there than playing the geetar) - like the japanese sounding guitar part in the middle - and ping if you're listening, there's this thing called "tuning"
haha sorry i was still tuning slightly half a note higher back then. second-hand multifx don't come with manuals and my ears are no good it has to be half-note out of tune for me to notice :p
anyway that particular song has evolved a lot since then, better guitar parts and some added arrangement by jp and denden. i was having that last single problem with the arrangement and they took care of it while i wasn't around. that's so sweet. and convenient for me.
but yea shit. i like encouraging comments but i don't take them to heart? even if it came from the likes of mr. kiko himself. i know we still have a long ways yuh! add to that our vox left us a while back which brought us back down to like... 2 1/2 songs. har har. now we are looking for a vocalist: sana medyo cute ang boses, medyo cute din, mabait sa tao, does not abhor pop the good kind anyway. most important though: loves life and singing and performing.

lately it's been busy and meditative for me. lots of contemplating and searching for recipes that i would heartily eat myself, simple yet great ones i can proudly serve to peoples. although my time is pretty flexible, the accumulated stress and anxiety can get tedious over time. this an entirely different putahe. over the past few months i have learned to:
make BEEF KEBAB from scratch, relying not on internet recipes but instincts and years of love for persian food.
make great creamy squash soup (try it!), which my kuya taught me
mini cordon bleu! bleah :p
PLUS A BUNCH OF OTHER COOKING STUFF. like learning how this and that ingredient works and all that chef stuff. i get it all from the internet. oh what would i do without you worldwideweb? WWWWWWWW...
tomorrow i'm learning how to make yoghurt! i didn't know it was that simple. looked it up on the net, all you need is milk thermos kitchen thermometer and two tbsps starter yoghurt. that's basic homemade yoghurt fer yer fatty ass! whowuldathunk
was supposed to blog about my favorite cats in the world and how grown up they are now (sniffle huhu, proud-ness yay hahaha i love you my favorite cat Prozac hahaha shet yuck hahahhahaa taena stop it! hahaha yuck)
but i felt like i had to blog about these things first. hmmm... mebbe for the next entry :) hehehehe yak hahahhaha mwerf stop it!!!!!!!!!!! haha (okay stop it!) mwerf
through those years i have learned to be patient to the person i'm talking to: if you don't get it, does not mean you're stupid it just means i have to explain a little more give effort a little more
months and months of half-waiting, half-pursuing i've learned that if you don't work hard for the things you love the most it doesn't hold much meaning (although there is the occasional fluke, wonderful fluke, very meaningful fluke)
if you suspect that you're working too hard you probably are and it's probably about time that you ask is this too hard or is it really not just for me?
i am happy with what i have learned i do not wish to know everything in the universe i am happy with what i know with what i don't know
i'd like to get drunk sometime the entire night without having even a single realization about love without the words beer belly crossing my line of vision
At 101 pesos per ticket, only 35 people went to see Imahe Nasyon on the first day. Two of them, probably a lesbian couple, went in thinking the show was still Rome & Juliet, last week's film that sold 1000+ tickets on the first day at 131 pesos. It has gone on to a second week at Robinson's Ermita because the first week had more than half a million in revenues and women (and men) were still coming in. I didn't know if the couple wanted a refund. But that's their fault anyways. Hahaha
We met up with TV crews at Robinson's IndieSine yesterday to promote the film. Pretty late isn't it? Shouldn't we supposed to be promoting the film BEFORE it shows? One of the crews were from the Buzz, so that won't be showing until this SUNDAY, third to the last day of the regular run, and probably on the time slot of the second to last screening of the day.
Even the youtube trailer was a bit late. Added feb 16, by Manie. Take a peek:
I'm almost embarrassed because Jon and Carol Red and company were very hands-on promoting this. Looking back I probably should've asked favors from different media people I am acquainted with. Or maybe twisted some arms in the few weeks before the regular run, while asking nicely of course. But all I did was internet work. (I heard Rome & Juliet had TV plugs.)
So now I'm doing two radio interviews later. And this photo spread for Inquirer's Super! section on Saturday. Whose brilliant idea this is, I don't know. But I am once again in awe of how much the PDI people helps little people like us. Thanks to Pam Pastor and Pepe Diokno, the latter I think I have not met yet. So that gives us what, an Inquirer spread to boost the last 4 days? Should be good. I'm really excited for later. The stylist has already contacted me last night. He is a he and his name is Milan, I love it. We will be shooting somewhere in EDSA so as to be appropriate for the film. Should be fun, dontchatink. :p
EDIT: Oh my garsh as in turns out it's the cover for Super! this Saturday. I just came from the Inquirer offices in Makati hung around until they finished working on the spread. It turned out really really really great. It's so beautiful hahaha.... The photos (Idris Vicuna), the layout (Kuya Marlone), the words even if the overall gist is a bit too much for my insecure self haha (Pam Pastor and Pepe Diokno)... I'm so excited for it to come out! YAY! Much thanks to Tim Yap Pepe Diokno Pam Pastor David Milan of PDI. :) (I really hope it will boost sales for the last 4 days of Imahe Nasyon.)
Ayan sa wakas, magkakaroon na ng theatrical run ang Imahe Nasyon. Ito ay 20 short films na likha ng 20 directors, with each of them unique take on what happened to the Philippines after EDSA I.
Medyo tedious na project noh? Biruin mo, 20 directors yan, 20 mood patterns, 20 katao na hindi agad magtetext back sayo, 20 unique perspectives, at kailangan mo gawan ng paraan para ipagkaisa ang twenty different minds. It's a project that required A LOT of patience from Mr. Jon and Carol Red and company. Parang ayaw na nga nila ulitin ito e, sabi nila.
Ito, kung gusto niyo ng mas-intellectual na opinyon ng ibang writers:
Sa totoo lang, nagandahan ako sa mga lumabas na shorts, a little more than what I expected. Merong mga magaganda at meron ding mga okay lang at meron ring hindi ko talaga naintindihan. Pero bakit ba kayo makikinig sa akin, e biased ako :p
Personal favorite ko sa mga shorts e ang... ang hirap talaga pumili. Seryoso. Halos lahat kasi nagustuhan ko. Pero kung papipiliin talaga ako, ang personal favorite ko ay ang "La Pula" ni Roxlee. Hahaha. Basta.
Segue. Nakuha ko ito sa eljay ni Clang Sison, ang award-winning editor (nakanangtooch!) ng Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros:
Sa wakas! After 15 billion years! Available na po for the general public and official DVD version ng Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros
DVD - Php 450.00 VCD - Php 250.00
Available sa lahat ng video stores initially in Manila pero kakalat sa buong bansa yehehey!
At kung type niyo bumili ng copy ng Maxi DVD autographed by no less than Nathan "Maximo Oliveros" Lopez himself, kindly text +639178574011. I think it sells for the same price, 450 pesos. At meron namang Maxi and Sarong Banggi VCD bundle for only 400 pesos. :)
Nuod kayo ah! Magsama kayo ng friends na sawa na sa fried chicken at spaghetti. Sa February 21-27 at IndieSine. Ito ang cinema 3, ang bagong digital theater ng Robinson's Galleria. Isang buong linggo (one whole week) yan ipapalabas. Kaya pag kayo, hindi pa nakapanuod...
the late Elmo Redrico, in Imahe Nasyon's "Local Unit" by Tad Ermitano
Nung una kong nakakasama si Ka Elmo, OA na actor ang tingin ko sa kanya. Palaging intrusive at hyper ang kanyang energy, dilat na dilat lagi ang mata at parang sarcastic lagi magsalita (think Robin Padilla). Pero nung napanuod ko siya sa kanyang more recent works gaya ng Kubrador at Imahe Nasyon, ako ay napahanga na niya. Kung dati e Robin Padilla, ngayon ay Marlon Brando na. :)
Simula noon e inabangan ko kung saang indie film naman sunod na lalabas si Ka Elmo. Huli kong nakausap si Ka Elmo, bago siya tinamaan ng isang fatal heart attack nung August 2006, ay sa screening ng Kubrador sa UP Cine Adarna. Nagtatanong siya tungkol kay Miss Amor ng Star Cinema, na siyang tumulong ng malaki sa marketing ng Maxi at ngayon ay manager na ng dalawang budding talents sa industriya ngayon, si JR Valentin at Soliman Cruz.
E nagkataon na nakuwentuhan ako ni Sol tungkol sa laking gaan ng buhay niya nung dumating si Amor, na halos napaisip ako kung bakit ako e ayaw kumuha ng manager? Kaya sabi ko kay Ka Elmo, good choice yan! Natutuwa talaga ako noon para sa kanya. Kasi napakagandang nilalang ni Ka Elmo nung araw na yun sa Cine Adarna. Isa siyang nilalang na punung-puno ng excitement at pag-asa.
Laking gulat at sayang lang nung nakuha ko yung text tungkol sa pagpanaw niya. Nung binabasa ko yun, medyo walang sense lang talaga. Kasi, si Ka Elmo yun e. Hindi namamatay ang mga ganung tao. Pero naisip ko rin, malakas siya uminom. Malakas siya manigarilyo. Tapos ang hyperactive niya. Tipong kayang dilat ng isa buong linggo na walang tulog. Malaki ang puso ni Ka Elmo, pero gaya ng lahat ng bagay, bumigay na rin. Ayun sa wakas, may sense na rin.
Tunay talaga, isang kakaibang karakter ang nawala sa aming maliit na industriya. Umaasa ako noon na makikita ko ang pagusbong ni Ka Elmo bilang actor. Pero okay na yun siguro. Kasi alam mo naman, magkikita-kita rin tayo diba? Kaya relax mo lang puso mo diyan, Ka Elmo. Patuloy lang kami dito. :)

To everyone,
Because I was inspired by Raya's entry.
To ANGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT. For being a great example. Hooking up must've been the best decision of your blessed lives.
To ISAW SA KANTO PRODUCTIONS aka close friends including guy best friend. For making some of the best music videos this year. 2007 will bring in more good things, friends. Let's make a feature-length within the decade, at text niyo naman ako pag may shoot :p (Special props QUARK HENARES, his insane livejournal entries and his cinematic way of living.)
To UP DHARMA DOWN and THE ITCHYWORMS. For giving birth to two of my favorite OPM albums this year. UdD was still a three-piece band of 2004, going by the name of Catch-22, and after an evening gig of singing her heart out, Armi was, the right term would be, bitching about being alienated by a silent audience, but mostly perplexed as to why the uninterested crowd didn't seem to get what she was scream/sing-ing about. Now look who's stimulating their minds now :p (And ANG BANDANG SHIRLEY for coming out with the best EP this year. Owel you are hands down the best songwriter of our generation and the best in a long time, and I am coming from a very objective mountaintop. We are man-hugging gay lovers, we thrive in pressure with pleasure.)
To HELLO EBRO aka bandmates aka high school barkada plus one saling-kitkit. For teaching me humility in collaboration. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Same with music, our music we will not create nor destroy, but transform and transmutate and transpose trans trans trans, and we will take our sweet time doing it.
To SADDAM HUSSEIN. All throughout his 24 years in Iraq, his being not-right-in-the-head was exploited by the United States of In Control Of The World. Even in death they made good use of you. I am sorry. (And to USA, for electing the Democrats into power. I don't fully understand how this works, but it's a welcome change.)
To SPONGEBOB and PATRICK STAR & OTHERS. I love watching your reruns. Simply genius. Much love to DISCOVERY and NAT GEO channels.
To my MOTHER. It was always Dad and I who thought alike, never us. But I think we found our common ground just before the year ended: a mind for commerce. We will start small and one day be called pioneers in our own right. May 2007 be a fruitful year for us, so that we may have enough resources for future endeavours (and tuition fees).
To ACTING and WRITING. The first, you are my bread and butter. And you, I wish to do more of you this year.
To JON RED. I constantly pop up in his head during casting, I feel the love, and the majority of the twenty filmmakers, who picked me for IMAHE NASYON. And to the TV PEOPLE GMA TAPE RUEL BAYANI, for giving me a chance to come out on TV and for giving me your good money. MIKE SANDEJAS for bringing the late TEDDY DIAZ and THE DAWN into my life. BOBBY BONIFACIO, one of the most promising young directors, who will come back from Guam exile to direct another movie for us pinoys :p
To PROZAC. You have grown so big. You are the most peculiar cat ever. We have the same mind. I will cry if you die.
To my FATHER. Because I wouldn't be proud of the imperfect good that I have become if it weren't for you.
To YOU. Because being there is never just being there. You taught me. We will ride.
I wish to be great one day. There is a good chance this will happen because simply, I am surrounded by genius.
(this is an old photo of Nastase taken a few years back, in a healthier state mr.quickie would approve of)
It was a day in July 2001. I was fresh out of high school. On the verge of the unfamiliar world of college. It was the perfect time for personal reinvention. As I've been wearing everyday leather shoes all my life, I instinctively headed for our dusty shoe closet and dug through with all the promise of discovering hidden treasure. What I found, I did not expect. Such a beautiful sight to behold. Sitting pretty was love at first sight.
I thought the sneakers were absolutely neat-o. The fit was exactly how I would pick a fresh pair off the rack. And everything was already feeling like freaky fate. Did they feel so good to my feet? Oh yes. These were the lightest sneakers in the world. I could sleep in them at night and jump straight into my day next morning.
I got attention for the slogan shirts I wore, but it was always Nastase who did the trick. People come up to me wanting to buy my precious pair, asking where they could get one, or stuff I couldn't give an answer to. Even though I know it's impossible, I still say, "Try looking inside your shoe cabinet."
Nastase was perfect for me, but he didn't come with no feet hazards. Nastase had onion skin soles so jagged rocks was not an option. Occasional unforeseen puddles, which Nastase was more than willing to dry up owing to the absorbent nature of its material, always gave me the dreaded wet socks. But I guess this is what people found most appealing about Nastase. Nastase was a crappy old shoe, but he was very comfortable being one. And looked quite damn good.
At one of the countless gigs I went to, we were hanging out and an old crush was there.
"I like your sneakers. They look pretty old."
A song later, I ask her:
"So what do you usually go for? Older men?"
"No, just guys with nice sneakers," (Then flashes a smile. Haha.)
I found Nastase inside a dusty shoe closet, so I guess one thing that will forever remain a mystery to me is his actual age. I used to play a lot of tennis so I know the design was named after Ilie Nastase, a popular Romanian tennis player in the 70's. So if I were to carbon-date this, Nastase was born around the mid-70's, which would make him around 25 years old the first time I met him in our shoe closet.
Nastase used to be this vibrant cool pair of grayish color. He was smug and unique. But now he's just really really dirty. His seams have exploded all over the place, and you can sneak a peek at all my toes if you prod the right places. For a while I contemplated seeking Mr. Quickie's help, but I knew it was inevitable.
The last few months were spent getting comfortable with the new but old replacement shoes. They are the same brand, has a bulkier look to it, with pentel pen doodling on the sides. The soles are about a hundred times thicker, so I don't have to worry about any hostile edges. But of course, they don't look as cool as Nastase. Because I don't think there is a pair in the world that can look as nice as that old ragged thing.
So here's to you, Mr. Nastase. For every single pavement day, from the habitual heavy feet to my zest for quest adventures in new and tedious terrain, which has obviously taken its toll on you for all those meaningful five years. Nothing else will ever come close.
the past few weeks i've been going to bed around SIX AM, oh so much energy to be dissipated everyday! a few times i tried to imagine the spores in my body growing to be as round as plates so all my energy will evaporate into the night and i can sleep and recuperate my asthma. sleeping as the sun is coming up really feels like shit unless you have aircon and thick rugs covering your windows. there's nothing like sleeping in the dark dark night.
but today i wake up FOUR-THIRTY AM because i slept TEN PM! yay... my sister said, bat ka nagising? i am actually awake in the morning yay for me officially loving it. i hope this will continue.
i love owel and "tsuper duper" is one of my favorite songs ever

ang pag-ibig alinsunod sa karanasan ng isang jeepney driver
]
you see, we love owel alvero, and the music "ang bandang shirley" makes. even though owel's with so many bands right now that i wonder how he manages his time, i know SHIRLEY will always be the one closest to his heart. it's one of those precious things in a man's life. so headed by lightrefraction and owel, we present you with this:
pure genius above brought to you by jeanina witty_repartee and blindgin, spot the hare and the turtle! haha
one hundred pesos (p100) gets you in! all the money that we don't have yet will be spent on the production of ang bandang shirley's first video, ANG PAG-IBIG ALINSUNOD SA KARANASAN NG ISANG JEEPNEY DRIVER aka TSUPER DUPER! it will kick your ass when it's done i promise!
this whole thing will be a music video showcase sandwiched in with the band performances, yay! including videos you probably haven't seen yet for sunflower day camp, ciudad, nimbus 9, daydream cycle, the bloomfields, and the purplechickens' kick-ass waking life-inspired video, pretty much the videos that aren't on Myx yet, har har! and some other videos you've probably seen already, like kitchie nadal's "fire" and up dharma down's "maybe".
this is all out of pure love, including the bands who have agreed to play for this. i promise it will be a good show! i've seen all the videos and i wonder why these aren't the talented people making the mainstream stuff. bakit kaya?
