Scenes from my so-called life

Sunday afternoon. Lots of time in my hands and I was spending it by watching the final episode of Shaider, that iconic space sheriff, on YouTube. I could not help but crack a stupid grin as I watched him beat the crap out of Fuuma Lear’s big, fat, ugly a...uhh…head.   ‘Let’s see you shigi-shigi your way out of a Shaider Super Slash, you scum of the universe, who lays eggs through your mouth, evil monster,’ I thought as the fight scenes began.   There is Shaider in his shiny blue battle armor challenging Fuuma Lear to a duel. Fuuma accepts and reveals his mechanical body. At first he seems to be more than a match for Shaider but Shaider gains some resolve and is able to parry Fuuma’s attacks.   The battle rages, Fuuma commences the time-space warp and they end up at the gravel-filled site at the bottom of a gorge. Then, this flying battle cruiser, shaped like Fuuma’s head, comes flying in firing a salvo at poor Alexis. Fuuma gets the upper hand. But not for ...

I used this as a status message on YM. I have two takers so far. I was able to read Jeco's post Remind me to hug you when I see you and found out about the Free Hugs Campaign started by a Juan Mann (pseudonym of the guy) in Sydney, Australia. Upon further research in Wikipedia and actually visiting the official website I was inspired to give free hugs too. I mean it has been said that touch therapy, which includes hugs by the way, is essential to the development of babies and even adult individuals and hugging is one quick way to foster a caring, loving feeling and attitude. I'm starting with my family and friends first. I don't have the guts yet to go public like the others who are hardcore free huggers already. Baby steps first until I get really comfortable with the idea. Things will happen at the right time, right space and right sequence. It's nice to be hugged. My friends and I often do this. We do this in our families. There ought to be more hugs going around in...

Nanood ulit ako kagabi ng Transformers, kasama friend kong si Joy (sana na-enjoy naman niya. hehe) dahil nga idol ko si Optimus Prime (kahit na hindi yung movie incarnation ang gusto kong Prime kundi yung original sa cartoons, yung may Matrix of leadership.*geek alert!*). Gusto ko lang sabihin na tama nga si Kai on her review: Transformers (...more the beady eye...) kahit dalawang beses ko na napanood eh i was still grinning like an idiot the entire movie. There really must be something about transforming robots and testosterone. hehe. Kahit napanood ko na naeexcite pa din ako lalo na pag alam kong malapit na yung mga action scenes. Natatawa pa din ako sa mga jokes kahit alam ko na nasasaihin. At di ako makapaghintay don sa scene na pinatugtog ni Bumblebee yung "Baby Come Back." Kailan kaya yung sequel? Mabuhay ka Optimus Prime! "One shall stand! One shall fall!"

Nag wall-climbing kami ng friend at journ batchmate kong si Jeco kagabi. Feel ko kasi maging sporty kaya I've resolved to take up mga ganitong chorva. Frank (journ friend at Banahaw tropa) was supposed to come with us kaso he injured his right hand kaya nag-pass muna siya. Napaka-yabang ko pa naman pag dating ko sa Rockwell. I was determined to climb the wall with the 90-degree inclined part sa PlayUnderground. Akala ko kasi sisiw lang yon. I mean, what's so hard about climbing an effing wall? So ayon na. Jeco and I got our gear and suited up (Sort of. Harness lang naman yon eh.) We were taught how to belay at pagkatapos ng tig-isang practice climb sa "beginner wall" we were left to our own devices. We climbed the beginner course again just to practice what we've learned. Potek! Walang kachallenge-challenge. So we moved to the more advanced courses. Wala din masyadong kwenta yung isang wall. Malalaki kasi at malalapit ang placement nung mga "stone...

Minds half twisted   I open the door to a grinning Reena.   “Tousled hair, blood-shot and crusty eyes, last night’s shirt and jeans. Good morning, Saf. Slept well?” she says.   I grimace and motion for her to come in. I clear up the mess on the couch, offer Reena a seat, wipe the coffee table clean, rub my eyes of morning glory.   “You have to excuse my room. I meant for housekeeping to come earlier. What time is it?” I ask as I plop down on the sofa next to her. “Want anything to drink? Orange juice? Coffee?”   “It’s 9:30 , sleepy-head. And you forgot to take this off the door knob.” She throws the ‘Don’t disturb’ sign on the table. “Anyway, I’m good, thanks. I already had breakfast. You should, too.”   “I’m not hungry. I need more sleep. Shouldn’t have taken up Dex’s offer to go to that bar. Damn it.”   She looks at me incredulously. I look back, groggy and indifferent.   “It’s rude to stare, especially if what ...

Wala. naalala ko lang yung Bioman. Ba't ganon? Astig para sakin ang Bio Team pero kangkarot naman ang Power Rangers. Ba't ganon? Idol ko si Alexis at gusto kong maging tulad ni Shaider na Pulis Pangkalawakan. Pero galit din ako sa kanya dahil kasama niya si Ani. Life is unfair. Asan ka, Ani ng buhay ko? Ba't ganon? Naisipian nilang gawing tipaklong si Masked Rider Black. Di ba pwedeng alupihan nalang? At mas astig sana kung ni-retain niya nalang yung orig niyang pangalang Black Sun. Hay, sana ako din may king stone. Ba't ganon? Ang hirap manalo sa Takeshi's Castle. Ba't ganon? Pag sumigaw na ng "Laser sword!" si Voltes V at "Double Blizzard" si Daimos, 80% of the time panalo na sila. Ang bopols naman gumawa ng Beast Fighters ng Bozanians at Brahmins kahit na mas advance teknolohiya nila. Ba't ganon? Sa pwet lumalabas ang machine gun ni Astro Boy. Parang obscene. Ba't ganon? Di nila tinapos yung Time Quest. Asan na si Tak...

Say something brilliant “What’s the square root of 2?” Cathy asks from out of nowhere as we are walking back to her apartment. I answer with a blank stare. “Well? A little help here,” she presses. “You’re not actually, seriously considering that I can possibly answer that question, do you?” I manage to blabber after snapping out of my stupor. “What? It’s a simple question.” “Sure, if I were Einstein. Ask me about useless trivia and I might come up with an answer. But math? Let’s be realistic here.” “Oh, you’re so useless.” “I resent that, but if it would keep me from answering your question, then thank you.” I smile at her. She sticks her tongue at me. “Now you’re just being childish,” I say. She glares at me. “…But cute. Childish, but cute,” I quickly add. “You better know it, mister,” she says pointing an accusing finger at me. I stick my tongue at her. “Oh, you’ve grown a backbone, I see. So that’s how you want to play it,” she says while raisi...
