Hey Shorty, It’s my Birthday. Er, Not Yet.

Status: Starved.
Music: So Close - Jon Mclaughlin

It’s Victor‘s 22nd birthday today. (Yes, he was born just when thousands of people gathered in EDSA for the first People Power Revolution in 1986.)

Victor is my bestfriend. He’s been my bestest friend since Kindergarten. Seriously. We’ve known each other since we were four. That makes us friends for almost 18 years. That’s 4/5 of our lives. Hehe. So today, I just wanna greet him.

He has no idea that this blog exists, thus there is very little chance he’d come across this post but what the heck? Yep, Victor doesn’t know I blog because he doesn’t have to know about my sexuality. Hehehe. Some bestfriend I am.

###

I was born nine days after Victor. But since it’s leap year, my birthday is still 10 days away. Hmmm. This is the first time I’m gonna do this: make my own wishlist. Hehe. Come on, it’s my birthday. Just let me do this.

a new football / soccer ball
a fashionable vest
a small sling bag
a pair of tennis rackets
a Giordano or Diego shirt (yeah, brand matters)
Bvlgari Aqva perfume
a pirated DVD showcase (hehehe)
Gerard Butler (yum)
Christian Bale (yum, yum)

and you. You know who you are. I want you for my birthday. haha.

Well, that’s all. See? I’m not even that materialistic. Haha.

###

Anyway, since we’re already talking about birthdays, let me just say that February is one of my favourite months. Unlike January with which I’ve always had a love-hate relationship, Feb has been consistently kind to me. Aside from that, most of my friends said their first hellos to the world in these months.

1 – Josh De Beauvoir, Dah Venturanza
6 – Victor Villanueva
10 – Sol Garcia, Aina Pacion
14 – Robin Rodriguez
21 – Andre Montejo
24 – Rico Pangilinan
26 – Jumel Alilio, Ces Vitan
27 – Pam Condeno, Jordan Santos
28 – Hermann Claravall

So there. Happy birthday to y’all.

Witty Graffiti*

Status: Horny… and kidding
Music: With You - Chris Brown

I got this from a friend’s forwarded e-mail. This is a compilation of oh-so-witty graffiti that can be found all over the University of the Philippines-Diliman campus. It’s funny how these scribbles reflect the character of UP students in general.

Tell Me I’m Not Writing into an Abyss
Or That is What Will Become of My Heart

Status: keep bleeding love.
Music: Bleeding Love – Leona Lewis, Love Song – Sara Bereilles

I know Dohna has already posted this video on her blog but I just want to share this to my readers, too. This is sooooo cute. Watch it now, now, NOW!!!

My Gawd! Life is so unfair! That little boy has a friggin’ love life?!?! And I? Ugh, I’d rather not mention. Haha.

Anyway, Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!

The Tragedy with a Last Name

Status: I just can’t refuse it.
Music: Don’t Stop the Music – Rihanna

It’s time for some local showbiz commentaries. Haha. First up, the old reeking hottest buzz in tinsel town — the alleged Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby love affair as suggested by Lolit Solis. I don’t buy this. Well, maybe they have an affair but what Lolit claims that the two were seen doing something i-don’t-know at some hotel? Nah. Total bluff. And whenever people ask me why I don’t believe it, I always tell them this:

On December 17, as I was reviewing for the Foreign Service Exams at Starbucks Imperial Palace Suites in Tomas Morato, I was surprised to find myself surrounded by a few celebrities and the press. In front of me were Mickey Perz and Mommy Yen (Pinoy Big Brother Season 2). To my right, at the center of the cafe, were Lolit Solis and a battalion of other entertainment writers together with the queen bee, Anabelle Rama. Soon, other writers including Alfie Lorenzo started showing up.

As much as I tried to concentrate on my studying, I just couldn’t. They talked so loudly as if Starbucks turned into an urban zoo all of a sudden. I even overheard Lolit Solis expressing her desire to retract regarding the Piolo-Sam controversy she had sparked with her writeup.

“Gusto ko na ngang bawiin yung writeup,” she said.

Anabelle Rama, then, replied, “Bakit mo naman babawiin? Nasabi mo na e. Wag mo nang bawiin.”

Nice. Very nice. Although it doesn’t say anything regarding the validity of her claim, for me, wanting to retract says so much about her integrity (or the lack thereof).

And oh, by the way, the entertainment press were gathered there because the Gutierrez family would give away gifts, raffle-style (if I’m not mistaken). Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Philippine showbiz. Envelopmental journalism, anyone?

I Would Watch a Movie.

I would watch a movie.
As I stood there at the bus stop
14 buses came and went
11 Drivers asked me to hop in
I refused.
Told them I would watch a movie.

8 pretty women passed by
6 of them smiled at me
1 talked to me
I said I would watch a movie
Trying to catch the 2:15 screening
2 jet planes flew overhead
Their shadows, an image of 2 Jesuses making love
I imagined God cringe at me
But I would just watch a movie
It wasn’t as horrible as the 4 times I forged my prof’s signature
And that 1 steamy moment I had with my bestfriend’s partner
And the 4 days I spent in the office just watching porn.
I would just watch a wholesome movie.

Not like this R-18 flick
The poster behind me
And 17 other ads posted on this board, 4 ft x 3
A Korean needing a English tutor
A man selling a Nokia 3210
A 20% off promo on motel accommodations,
No time for motels.
Today, I would watch a movie.

2.45 ft below it are 6 bread crumbs
371 ants falling in line for lunch.
At exactly 2:15.42, rain pours
288 rain drops initially
A miniature great flood
370 ants drowned in God’s urine, 60 mL
Only 1 pulled off a Noah
I picked it up
And crushed it.
It would bite me; I was sure.
Besides, it couldn’t survive alone.
It wouldn’t last the day counting crumbs and raindrops.
Ants can’t watch movies.
I’d seen so many movies; I lost count.

I would watch another movie.
