A stranger on the bus gave me a pack of Bread Pan, which he says is his favorite. Maybe I did look hungry, but I haven't eaten it yet.

Despite my initial trust issues, we got to talking. He's this oldy American dude with Mexican roots who told me to scoot over the seat because he was getting off nearby. He's this private tutor who has worked in Makati for two years. He's this dad with a five-year-old kid he'll be taking to MoA in a while. He's this Beatles enthusiast who finds the vehicle's radio version of "Hey Jude" rather indistinct. He's this hopeful who buys a ticket to the Lotto everyday, and even won a few times.

He used to be this English professor in La Salle who taught during the 1980s. He used to be this TV personality who played a doctor in an ancient Bisolvon commercial. He used to dress up as Santa Claus in events for Nokia (the photographic evidence he had with him was laminated).

He knows he can get a bit too friendly sometimes.

He thinks I'm half-Chinese. He thinks I look mature for my age (must be the formal attire). He thinks I went to college when I was 16, and even did the math for me. He thinks my name comes from a vegetable.

He gave me his cell number and didn't ask for mine (whew), giving me the option of surrendering to my paranoia or not.

I chose not to communicate with Professor Art further, since my parents drilled the "Don't Ever Talk to Strangers!" lecture into my skull again. Fine, that makes sense. But still, to random occurrences, :)

The "Be Pete Wentz" Poetry Meme
01. Put your music player on shuffle
02. The first lines of twenty songs = a poem; the first line of the twenty-first song is the title.

If you want, if you want to be the one that he's thinking of

When my body wants to go
Locusts, tornadoes,
I must have read a thousand faces.
So this is how it goes, well I -

We've just got to take our time.
Speak dumb like every other one
And we feel like rain when the words all sound the same,
Climb the wall to make the sun rise in time.

The things we laid do not amount to much
Of fences with switches.
Those boom times when bust
Sometimes I feel.

Don't make this fake,
You can keep what you want.
Take a bow.
After all

High above the mucky-muck, castle made of clouds,
Someone's turning the lights down low.
The language in the dimmer rooms seems to represent its light source well.
And so I married a Chinese lesbian.

LAST LINE WIN. Hahahaha!
It's very um hormonal. Holy crap. Haha.

The 10 Random Things Game
Post the rules:
*each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves.
*bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their ten things and post these rules.
*at the end of your blog, you need to choose ten people to get tagged and list their names.
*don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

1. I radiated much affection for the bathroom tiles in Dusit Hotel room 1632 last weekend with my friends - Benix, Trisha, Pinay, Hannah and Rina (absent but represented by the wooden cat guardian deity) - for Benix's homecoming/reunion cerebral celebrationary.
2. I stole the cookie from the cookie jar. Not really. All of us did, because the cookies were free in the lounge at the 16th floor, where we walked barefoot in the middle of the night.
3. I'm more than certain that I loathe alcoholic drinks because I just had a bottlecap's worth of grandmother brandy at around 1 in the morning. The amount I drank is inversely proportional to the coke I gulped down right after I made an "ECHHHHHITBURNNSS!"-face.
4. I don't own a swimsuit other than the one we used in high-school for PE, so I borrowed Trisha's when we went swimming (free for the last hour) in the hotel's pool. I metaphysically hugged the golden Thai statues.
5. Oh, and I don't swim. I walk on the floor of the pool and make bubbles, or squirt people with the water squeezed by my palms.
6. I like pretending pillows are guitars and jumping on the bed to the rhythm of unusual pre-dawn songs on MTV, or generally making noise while Pinay was trying to sleep. XP
7. Sometimes I enjoy corny jokes, and I like elephants, but Hannah's corny joke about elephants made me blue-red-white. Hahahahaha.
8. I like to keep unlikely souvenirs. I have a piece of glass in a TicTac container, memory of the casualty in the bathroom. The weighing scale was shattered, and since Trisha was already wounded, I told her to drip blood on the piece because she already started flicking droplets of blood onto her notebook. I also have the notes Benica scribbled on the Dusit notepad, which has the word "Parttey!" The shower cap and the bottle of conditioner in the bathroom are with me too.
9. I am now semi-immune to having my photograph taken, especially if I'm with people I really enjoy being with. And I can be easily threatened, so I tend to tolerate the click-flash mechanism of soul-stealing.
10. I have not-normal friends, and I ♥ them asexually. They know that (I hope) even if I don't "awwww" when they tell me so. The drunken Scrabble tiles spell the right words, and the chatpads hold evidence. Haha.

( Just plant another plant because we're environment-friendly yes we are )

Instructions: Assume that you are writing this lj entry 20 years from now. You can state people, things, places and events as if you had actually encountered them. Comments to this entry must also assume that it was written during that time. Have fun

To be the only asexual left in the world is particularly exhausting when you are surrounded by hormonal clones. Everyone has multiplied their selves. How disturbing. :|

Since today marks another year of the Puto Festival, I shall now devour this hologram of a puto. Would you like some? Wait. I am one year away from being 40 and yet this news isn't as scary as having a hormonal clone getting married to robot chickens tomorrow. Not as scary at all.

* * *

Hahaha.

My thought bubbles need to be popped. Thank you.

Memes:
1. Put your music player on "random." Skip songs with not-very interesting titles (such as "Concerto #4 in E minor")
2. List the titles of the first 25 songs to come up.
3. Put "in my pants" after each title.
4. Bold the ones that actually made you laugh.

( LJ Cut in your pants. )

Well, all of them made me laugh. Wow, that was necessary, and rather wrong. Hahaha.

If you happen to be working on some creative writing project, fanfiction or NaNoWriMo or what have you, post one sentence (or more) from each of your current work(s) in progress in your journal. It should probably be your favorite or most intriguing sentence so far, but what you choose is entirely your discretion. Mention the title (and genre) if you like, but don't mention anything else -- this is merely to whet the general appetite for your forthcoming work(s).

HAHAHA I'm revising a story, soooo:
( This friendly reminder is brought to you by the company of Finish yer Revision! )

Okay let's take a walk.

Bzuh. Random sounds to emphasize current incoherence. DflkamfdasjvDFADUdihfvnadshfapv.

The past weeks have rendered my existence quite boring. To remedy this, I decided to boil my own kettle of conflict. I revisited my past (certain non-academic documents from High-school) and found it foul. It was full of the Stupid and the Unbelievable. It was the Me who didn't take the blame and who spewed evidence of her ineptitude with pride. I think that that Me didn't know how to handle things. She wasn't familiar with the concept of acceptance, constructive criticism and reality. See? I keep shaking my head at her, as if I'm some omnipresent deity looking down on a mortal - a mortal who has wronged me! I must smite her!

But I cannot! The forces of conceited capitalists are conspiring against my wish to eliminate traces of that other Self. GAH. It does not end. You can't just Delete it, can you?

Ick. So much blerghbrainmeltworsethansmut. If it wasn't for the phenomenon of change, I'd have stabbed myself by now. Okay, sometimes I don't like my level of grasping things that are already done with. I shall just laugh.

As I've told the 60s Shinobi, I think I have once again lost my supply of Reinforcement-of-Self-esteem pills. I misplace them so easily! Is it age? I happen to like the change that comes with age. Well, not entirely, but more than going backwards.

More incoherence! lkjdfamCA!@EUFUjdmfasdhdnofamcrl;mdjna

Ah learnage. Rhymes with carnage. Precisely.

Sort of tagged by Carlo and Akire:

Leave a comment and I'll reply by answering the following.

1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal.

Neobie lives in the Nation of Procrastin. Thesis and story revisions due hours from now, which is five minutes past the tomorrow. The room is overflowing with yawns and angry music. I must channel my fury yes, and spew words.

But first! A meme! Served with the remains of paper pulp and headbangbands.

from my other LJ's friends page:

Go to the Wikipedia home page and click random article. That is your band's name. Click random article again; that is your album name. Click random article 15 more times; those are the tracks on your album. Then go to the LyricsWiki home page and click random page 15 times. Take a few lines of whatever lyrics show up each time and use them for each of your new band's songs!


Band name: Alberta's Rockies
Album name: Ecuadorian sucre

Track list and lyrics:
1. Duchy of Alsace -----[Wha-? This is a very International Relations mix yis.]
You say you do then you don't
you say you will when you won't
but you can't deny
what's going on
no no no

( 2-15 plus a bonus track of your ears going off all Grendel-like. )

And now to return to whoosh whoosh look who's incapable of comprehension nrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I'm bored. procrastinating.

The rules are easy, just post 10 things that recently made you happy! Then tag 10 people and force them to post this meme on their LJs. Because it is good. Everyone needs a little happiness once in a while.
1. Lord Bergamask of Antinomy/Lord Erg (laptop) randomly playing mp3s I like.
2. An e-mail from a high-school friend.
3. The anticipation/giddiness brought about by the Writer's Workshop on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (exciting to watch but scary to experience). Also, reading the manuscript and the panelists' works.
4. Bus ride home with my Untwin-twin and talking about EICECDAOO.
5. Thesis progress. Itsy-bitsy steps and away we go space race zoom martians zoom.
6. Knowing that Mr. Neil Gaiman will be arriving here soon.
7. The unopened box of Blueberry PopTarts in our cabinet. Hee. X3
8. Listening and being listened to.
9. Pride Week at the University.
10. Today's Calvin and Hobbes comic.

I think I'll just post 5 things that recently made me not-so-happy. It isn't part of the meme but I figure I need to balance them out somehow.

1. For the EUROLIT movie poster, the lightbulb from my Lightbulb Moment is getting dimmer.
2. My inability and inabilities.
3. Being bothered by bothersomes, which aren't as worse as other people's problems, making me think that I am shallow and I probably am.
4. The absence and presence of many.
5. Reviewing for GENDERS.



Random fact unworthy of the Conceptual Framework: On my desk there is a small bottle containing a muddle of pink sand and what seems like purple felt paper shavings.

I'm researching some stuff from the book: John Maskelyne, Cyrus Read Teed, pentagrams, Charles Fort and Chicken Marengo. Ah, Knowledge. I like you when I'm not in school and not outdoors. But sitting in a cave with a book could be okay if there's light or something. Hnehhhh Peas is Our Professioune.

From hp_fridayfive. (It's not Friday, and I'm not really following the '5' part.)

Would you rather...
1. Work with dragons or treasure hunt for Gringott's?
- Work with dragons, so we could invade Gringott's. Hahahahhahahaaaaa
2. Spend a day with the Order of the Phoenix or Dumbledore's Army?
- Order of the Phoenix. Members of the DA are still alive, and hanging out with dead people would be fangirlingly fun. Haha. And the DA is pretty lame compared to the Order.
3. Visit Dumbledore's office or Snape's dungeon?
- Hmm. Snape's dungeon. Because Dumbledore isn't really in his office anymore (tear!*), so it's not Dumbledore's office. It's now The Whoever-the-new-Headmaster-is' Office, and the furniture's probably changed.
4. Give an old school detention to Filch or Umbridge?
- to Filch. Just because. Haha. Despite the pink-ness of Umbridge, I'm rooting for her as a villain. I mean, she made us annoyed at her and she gave Harry detention! What a great anti-hero strategy!
5. Have an Invisibility Cloak or a Time Turner?
- I'd prefer the Invisibility Cloak, to steal someone else's Time Turner undetected. Hee.


For each pairing, chose who you think would win in a fight. If you'd like, explain how you chose the victor.
1."Batshit" Bellatrix LeStrange vs. Narcissa "Not a Sissy" Malfoy
- Bellatrix. (Narcissa is going to start bawling like Draco, I swear.)
2. Remus "Moony" Lupin vs. Fenrir "Will Eat Your Children" Greyback
- Lupin. (Fenrir Greyback just doesn't seem smart enough. Even if he's been devouring the young 'uns for ages, Lupin's got smarts and motive.)
3. Gilderoy "Blonde Ambition" Lockhart vs Ludo "The Wasp" Bagman
- Lockhart. (He's going to blinding-smile-in-your-face-kick! Ludo Bagman when he gets his mind back. But Bagman's going to win otherwise.)
4. Severus "Don't Call me Snivellus" Snape vs "Seriously" Sirius Black
- Gah. Tough. Snape. (Sirius is probably going to keep bad-mouthing Snape and somehow forget he's in a battle. Besides, Snape doesn't waste any time. He'll probably go "Avada Kedavra!" the first chance he gets.)
5. Neville "Stubefy" Longbottom vs Peter "Pathetically Pitiful" Pettigrew
- Neville. (He's NEVILLE, and that's better than Pettigrew. Plus, I like his toad. Haha.)

What does your love life look like?
Time Turned Fragile - Motion City Soundtrack ----[Again, WHAT THE HELL.]
I was nervous from the start that our muscles might tear us apart
(Are muscles tearing us apart?)
From the words that carve our lives to the words that take us by surprise
(I was never taken by surprise.)
From the sounds that disappear to the changes we begin to fear
(I can hear you clearly.)
One day I'll fail to breathe and all you'll have are memories
(All we are are memories.)


What do I say when life gets hard?
The Quiet Things that No One Ever Knows - Brand New ----[Me=Giver-Upper. *tear!* Haha.]
Keep the blood in your head and keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired. Today's the day we drop down.
Give up my body in bed. All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals.


What do I think of when I get up in the morning?
Medication - Garbage ---[Yaaak. Ang lungkot ng mga umaga ko.]
Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
Nobody gives a damn about me or anybody else


What song will I dance to at my wedding?
Rich - The Yeah Yeah Yeahs ----[Naks. Hahahahahaha.]
Turning it beating no beat
The walls are always speaking
No want no want no want no speaking at all
Rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich
Rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich
Rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich


What do you want to do for your career?
You Owe Me an IOU - Hot Hot Heat ----[Errr....Ako yung laging uutangan?!?! Damn.]
Overtly individual - covertly traditional
She couldn't seem to make up her mind
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change
And so he yelled at her:
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
I know what I should get this time



Your favorite saying?
When You're Around - Motion City Soundtrack ----[Neh. Parang mali.]

Did I truly do the things that you've described?
They must hate me, every single one
It just sickens them, what I consider fun.


Favorite place?
Red Light Indicates Doors are Secured - Arctic Monkeys ----[Eh?]
Calm down temper temper, you shouldn't get so annoyed
You're acting like a silly little boy
They wanted to be men and do some fighting in the street
No surrender, no chance of retreat


What do you think of your parents?
Throw Down - Motion City Soundtrack ----[Okaaaay.]
To be lost in a state of confusion
no sense of direction you can't be found
far from the truth of the slim and shady youth
but it's all the same, yeah it's all the same to me


Where would you go on a first date?
London Calling - The Clash ----[WHOA. It's either to London, or to war. TO WAR! TO WAR! *ehem* London!]
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river


Drug of choice?
Idlip - Imago ----[Hahahahaha. Yis. Daydreams and naps. Beri a gud.]
Neither away nor asleep
Dwell somewhere in between
Neither someone or something
Be it life alone
I walk it like a park
Half real, half fancy


Describe yourself.
The Answer - Bloc Party ----[Ahahaha. Ang labo. Ay, hindi pala.]
If you are the answer
We are going straight to hell
Grown in a parental fugue
Weight loss in self respect
Bomb, bomb, bomb us back together
A new way into a lost answer


What is the thing I like doing most?
Evil Town - The Vines ----[(o_O)]
Evil is what you are
As well as being sharp
I fell right to it
She sells and I don't
Like it feels
Like shonen knife and kills
But they dont mind in an evil town
Evil is what you are
As well as being sharp
I fuckin' feel to it
Im in an evil town


What is my state of mind like at the moment?
Circles - Incubus ----[YIS. Precisely.]
Round and round we go...
who could've known it'd end so well?
We fall on and we fall off...
existential carousel.


How will I die?
Lycanthrope - Plus 44 ----[I'm going to get killed by a werewolf. Ayos.]
And I still feel you looking over my shoulder
Your sinking guilt and approaching nightmare
And I know none of us will survive
Because I know everything


The song that will be played at your funeral?
Juicebox - The Strokes ---[They're going to call me up with a Ouija board. Whee.]
Old time grudges
Will die so slowly
I know you miss the
Way I saw you
And cold
You're so cold
You're so cold
You're so cold
Nobody can see me
Everything's too easy


The song you'll put as the subject?
The One - Foo Fighters ----[Hindi ko maintindihan yung tanong. Haha.]
Everyone makes one mistake
One more time for old times sake
One more time before the feeling fades


The song that describes my friendships?
Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers ----[Hahaha. Ang emo para sa tanong.]
It's hard to believe
That there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe
That I'm all alone


The song that describes my future marriage?
I Miss You - Blink 182 ----[HUH?!?! WTF!?!]
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head


The song that describes my future children?
Pioneers - Bloc Party ----[I'll have tortured geniuses! Special little kiddies running around promising the world they'd save it! Ahahahaha!]
A sense of purpose and a sense of skill, a sense of function but a disregard
We will not be the first, we won't
You said you were going to conquer new frontiers,
Go stick your bloody head in the jaws of the beast



The song that describes what this summer will be like?
Make Damn Sure - Taking Back Sunday ----[Uhhh...This is summer?]
I just wanna break you down so badly
Well I trip over everything you say
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way (worst way)


The song that describes what people think of me?
Miss Murder - AFI ----[OMGWhat??]
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
What's the hook, the twist
Within this verbose mystery?



The song that describes how I will do in school?
Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) - Deftones ----[Hahahaha! Tinatakasan!]
Now drive me far - away, away, away
FAR away
I dont care where just FAR - away
And I dont care


The song that describes how nice of a career I'll have?
Brighter - Paramore ----[Ooooh.]
So this is how it goes
Well I, I would have never known
And if it ends today
Well I'll still say that you shine brighter than anyone
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard


The song that describes my personality?
Anarchy in the U.K. - Sex Pistols ----[Errr....(o_O). So wrong. In so many ways.]
I am an antichrist
I am an anarchist
Don't know what I want
But I know how to get it
I wanna destroy the passerby
'Cause I wanna be Anarchy
Now don't worry

Nrr. *goes off to do the Research Proposal of 25 pages*
Durnit. I'd rather be writing my story.

Any act relating to the making of a treaty by a person not authorised as required will be without any legal effect, unless the state involved afterwards confirms the act. One example of this kind of situation arose in 1951 with regard to a convention relating to the naming of cheeses. It was signed by a delegate on behalf of both Sweden and Norway, but it appeared that he had authority only from Norway. However, the agreement was subsequently ratified by both parties and entered into effect."
[- Shaw. "International Law," Chapter 16: The Law of Treaties]




I have a pet. It is a block of cheddar cheese named Arnold. For him to be legally Arnold, it was mandatory that I have him ratified through the United Nations and the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. Now, Arnold is bound to that name because there has been an agreement undergone by me, a supposedly sovereign state, and the Dairy Department of Identification, the organization Arnold belonged to. Arnold is now authorised to exist under that moniker so that peaceful co-operation among nations can be fulfilled.




Well, not really.
When you're studying International Law in utter sincerity and this pops up, you can't help but note it down and laugh.



Cheese. What the hell. XD

I'd much rather rage on rant sing the praises of every piece of paper I'm required to read for class, but I choose to control myself. You need not hear all the @%(#%+*-@$&@(****$@^ wonderfully enlightening discussions about International Relations we've had today, because I fear that it may confound baffle stimulate your minds to unimaginable heights no one can reach, and we wouldn't be able to contact you when needed.


Let me satisfy your craving eyes instead with some aphorisms, brought to you by the letter plus sign.

I got tagged by jeannecarmel.


Each player of this game starts with 6 weird things about you. People who got tagged need to write a blog entry of their own 6 weird things. They should as well as state the rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

And now I am actually . . . bored. (o_o)
It's that, or my brain has merely considered itself inept after a long battle with reason.
I need to feed this uncontrollable longing to buy books. GAH. It'd be better if I actually had any money. Ah well.

Currently, I am reading Ornery Boy, a webcomic. It iz a berifun. Good zombie-lurving funnnn. Hahaha.

Other than that, I am organizing my Yahoo Mail messages into folders. Wow. To think this is only my first day of "summer vacation."
Okay, you can all laugh at me now. Whee.

Last night I received some messages through LimeWire. I didn't really know it was possible, but thanks to that, my propensity to detest the human race has escalated (hence this post's title).

The person "said":

84.13.65.58: heya
84.13.65.58: hows you

I didn't bother replying, of course. Other than the reason that I was busy revising my story, I found it pointless to communicate with this being. I know I'm not exactly all that smart, but to me this is disturbing.

Also, this morning, another occurrence made me realize how uneducated our country really is. I got woken up by a text message more upsetting than what I got last night:

(I won't post the cellphone number anymore. It might further humiliate the person.)

"Hay ken ubemay text met," s/he said.

And just now, I got another one from the same anonymous sender:

"Hay po."

Hrnf. At least this one has the slightest inkling of capitalization.
Or maybe s/he uses that automatic feature on the phone.

Whatever's the case, it depresses me. But what can I do?
I'd rather be practical and not reply, foregoing the chance to correct these persons' grammatical issues. Ah well.

I guess it's your problem, human race, because I no longer want to make it mine.

Questions over questions.

[x] Do you like having your picture taken? : Hell no.
[x] Ever bought a CD for just one song? : Nope. What a waste of money. There's always LimeWire. ^-^
[x] Do you read your horoscope? : Haha. Yep.
[x] If you could only talk to one person online, who would that be? : Hmm...Edgar Allan Poe. :D

Because now is not my time for philosophical and insightful contemplations.
