You Make Me Feel Like I'm Losing My Virginity.

oh my ang halay! but read on :)

Is the first line from Hummingbird Heartbeat by Katy Perry. A hidden gem in her Teenage Dream album despite it being beyond suggestive. But what Katy Perry song isn’t right?

In my opinion, the song uses the hummingbird metaphor brilliantly to describe the ultrafast palpitating heart we have when we experience excite and delight.

Don’t we all crave for moments which leave us with the hummingbird heartbeat? Won’t we be happier if we have more of these moments? Can’t life just supply us with a daily dose of hummingbird heartbeat instead of the occasional, heck, rare ones that we have? One can only wish.

Please Sacrifice Yourself.

I ate meat today.

Pretty deviant for a supposed Catholic since it’s Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent for Catholics. A season where people declare their own sacrifices only to have most backtrack on it a week or two later.

Probably into the season’s spirit, my friend Jared had a tweet or two about sacrifice. And this tweet of his got me thinking:

MKSM Lessons on Forgiveness and Revenge (Turnback Tuesdays)

For this week's TT, we'll go back to the time when teenage Tan was engrossed with the teleserye hit of 2007, Maging Sino Ka Man. Below the cut is a glimpse of the infamous angst from a few years back punctuated with a dramatic quote to end of the entry. Something my fans from that era surely miss! Don't worry though 'cause  2011 Tan has mellowed already...or so he thinks? LOL. Nevertheless, enjoy my dear reader!

I've Been Dreaming of a Frog Prince Kiss

At the center of the classic fairytale The Frog Prince is the kiss that transforms the filthy frog into the charming prince he was before the curse.

And haven’t we all dreamt of our own version of the kiss? A kiss of true love that transforms our beloved frogs into the charming prince or princess we all imagine and desire them to be.

But such kiss is beyond elusive and borderline impossible. No matter how many kisses we give our special someone, they won’t magically turn into the ideal partner we’ve always imagined them to be.

Whether you're Broke or Evergreen

Since I don't have time to flesh out my thoughts today, I'll just leave you with a simple yet powerful line from the latest hit of one of today's most iconic performers under the cut.

A Bad Day in Mercury, A Year in Misery?

Have you had a bad day today? (Yes.)

Today may have been bad but thank the high heavens you weren’t born a Mercurian or a Venusian. Having a bad day in Mercury means migraine and melancholy for 176 Earth days. Venusians have a worse fate, their sickness and sorrow lasts for 243 Earth days. And yes, a bad day in Mercury is a year in misery because a day in Mercury is longer than a year. 

Feeling better now?

Change the World Now or Later? (Turnback Tuesdays)

It's March already! And as a way to start the new month, I'm posting an entry from my insaneimmortal blog. Probably the first one from that blog. I am actually happy with myself since I've become true to my word of helping those who need help now rather than later. To 4A 2007, I was excited to teach you here oh! Excited to don my costumes! LOL. Enjoy as always, my dear reader.
