I really should stop obsessing about AI. ASAP.

more senseless ka-bading-an conversations

During dinner last night. I repeated the wallet conversation to Tin because she wasn't there at that time. Topic over seafood platter and yakitori went to Aiza. Then lesbians in general and Tin's Tomboy Thursdays. Then Lilith Fair and emo lezzies.

Tin: ...Pero ang pinaka-emo talaga na kanta yung "Adia"
Eric: Oo nga...
Me: "Idea"?
Eric: A-dia!
Me: Ano yun?
Macky: Di mo alam ang "Adia"?
Me: Hindi

(All three tried singing some lines of the song)

Me: Nope. (Shakes head)
Macky: Alam mo kasi yun!
Me: E hindi nga!
Eric: E 'bat alam mo "Angel"?
Me: E Sarah McLachlan yun eh.
Tin: E Sarah McLachlan din naman yun eh!
Me: 'Ba malay ko. (Shrugs)
Eric: Ano ba yan!
Tin: Hindi porke't bading ka di mo na alam mga lesbian songs.
Me: E "Angel" lang alam ko eh.

(Short pause)

Me: Ah alam ko na! Kasi yung "Angel", tinugtog sa Charmed! Charmed equals bading show! ergo...

(Tawanan)

Me: At! At! "Angel", ni-cover ng Westlife! Westlife equals boyband equals kabadingan! Ergo...

how politically incorrect

A three-way conversation one morning between myself and two colleagues (and some taong-bayan na nakikitawa). Sexism, blasphemy... it was just so wrong in different levels. LOL!

Eric: Nakita mo na yung bago kong wallet?
Leyn: Binili mo?
Eric: Kahapon
Leyn: Ngiii! Ba't ka bumili?
Eric: Sabi nga rin ni Gel
Me: Ba't nga ba masama ulit yun? Kasi malas 'di ba?
Eric: Oo daw
Me: Ah kaya pala it shows.

(Tawanan)

Eric: Teka... Eh ikaw ba, ni-regalo sa 'yo yung wallet mo?
Me: Of course!
Eric: So anong excuse mo?
Me: Eh kasi sabi ni Lord bading daw ako. Baka ipan-lalaki ko lang. Kaya 'di pwedeng swertehin.

(Tawanan ulit)

Me: Pero yung mga tomboy okay lang daw swertehin kasi yung pera nila pwedeng pang-build ng house.
Eric: Haha! Oo kasi bibili sila ng powertools.
Me: Tingnan mo si Aiza.

(Nag-appear bigla si Aiza sa TV screen)
(Tawanan ng bongga)

live like we're dying

So if your life flashed before you
What would you wish you would've done?

What I initially intended to be a shout-out post to Kris Allen's brand-spankin' new single (as titled, The Script-cover non-troversy be damned), turned out to have a deeper, more personal meaning over the past couple of weeks. I may sound a bit crass, what with me sort of shamelessly plugging a pop music amidst the calamities. But seriously, maybe it was because the single premiered on September 21st and was on continuous loop on my iTunes for days that when Ondoy hit four days later, that song was still playing in my head whilst treading the six-inch flood waters inside our home.

And I was one of the luckier ones.

Ondoy. Pepeng. Earthquake in Indonesia. Samoan tsunami. Mother Nature is telling something, isn't she? And they do pose certain questions on life and death. Something that, unfortunately, I don't know how to answer. Yet.

omg stfu, part 2

Dude.

You're this close to strike three. Someone else's at stake here. Bastard.

You better watch it. Your horns are showing.
