Status: Clueless
Music: Who Do You Love - The Moffatts


WITH VIKTOR KRUM (Haha)
Parts of my conversations with a Bulgarian online friend (I don’t know if I’m allowed to mention his name):

Yoshke: You’re pure evil. But if all devils were just like you, then I would definitely buy a one-way ticket to hell.
Him: Why not a one-way ticket to Bulgaria? There’s one here.

This one, we had more than a month ago.

Yoshke: New York has the Statue of Liberty. Paris has the Eiffel Tower. What’s in Bulgaria that is well worth a visit?
Him: Aren’t I enough?
Yoshke: Well, yeah. You’re enough.

WITH A FOREVER-INNOCENT FRIEND
A simple talk with a young friend who was so unsure about how he felt for some girl.

Ken:
How do you know if you’re in love?
Yoshke: I don’t think there are definite standard symptoms. You just know. That’s it. You just know. Why? Are you in love?
Ken: I don’t know.
Yoshke: You’re not in love.
Ken: What makes you so sure?
Yoshke: Cos you don’t know.

WITH MY HALF-FRENCH BROTHER
This convo I had with Josh on our way to FC Gloria’s Canteen for lunch after our French class the day before my birthday.

Josh:
You already got a Kitchie Nadal album?
Yoshke: No. But I borrowed a friend’s and listened to it last night.
Josh: How was it? You liked it?
Yoshke: One big NO. I only liked a couple of tracks. The record is rubbish.
Josh: Oh, don’t be so cruel on her. You’d probably appreciate the album more if you listen to it a little longer.
Yoshke: I don’t think so. Only a couple of songs really appealed to me.

After lunch, he handed me something in a white plastic bag.

Move Over, Tom Hanks

I logged in to Friendster and checked my profile because I ran out of anything to do online. But I was amused with two testimonials that I got some ages ago.

Sandra said:

“…Groupmate ko sa Comm100. At nabagsak niya ang aking napakagandang flashlight nung skit/presentation namin [in fairness kami ang pinaka-astig ang presentation-hanep sa ad-lib na malulupet]. Hindi ko na alam kung nasaan na ‘yung flashlight na yun. Pero hanep ang acting dun ni ES….”

Wahahaha. And it’s all coming back to me now (pasok, Celine Dion). Haha. We did a little skit for our Comm 100 class three years ago and I had to act. It was heavy drama. My role was something really serious but the goal of our skit was to make everyone laugh. I am not really an actor. Alam ko naman yun nung sperm pa lang ako. Pero, I don’t know, a lot of people really tell me that I did incredibly well in that skit. Maybe because the material was enjoyable. And for back up (in case you don’t believe me), here’s what Irene had to say.

“…Classmates kami sa dalawang subjects last sem, at nakikita ko na sobrang sipag at dedicated siya sa mga trabahong ginagawa niya like ung mga projects namin for class, reporting, etc. Tsaka magaling din umarte to! Pang-FAMAS! Hehehehe! (Akala mo wala…pero meron, meron, MERON!!! Hahahaha!)…

Ayan, dalawa na yung nagsabi. Hindi naman siguro sila sarcastic nung sinabi nila ‘to, haha. Pero I really hate acting because I CAN’T ACT. As in. Napilitan lang talaga ako nun bilang only guy sa group. And it will never happen again.
