Till the World Ends

A confession: I have convinced myself that the Mayan prediction of doomsday 2012 will come true despite the fact that many have debunked it. At this moment, I cannot picture myself living through 2013 and beyond. Creepy and weird.

A Sorta Gaga Comeback

forever an inspiration

It’s been a long time since I came around, been a long time but I’m back in town, this time I’m not leaving without you. – You and I, Lady Gaga

Of course, I had to begin my pseudo-comeback with none other than Lady Gaga! Actually, I just had to put the lyrics up since she’s been my gal whenever life decides to become a pain in the butt. Listening to her songs simultaneously soothes my soul and empowers me to face tomorrow proud of the scars of yesterday.

Thus, let today be another reminder of the comebacks we’re meant to live and accomplish. Despite the multitude of setbacks we may have endured over the years, we’re still capable of pursuing those dreams we thought would never come true. We only have to believe in ourselves. We only have to believe in our comeback.

Don’t hide yourself in regret, just love yourself and you’re set, I’m on the right track baby I was born this way. – Born This Way, Lady Gaga

Kaya Pala. (TBTue)

Bilang pagpapatuloy ng paggunita sa sariling wika ang tema pa rin ng Turnback Tuesdays, sinulit ko na ang paglathala ng mga isinulat ko sa aking multiply blog. Isinulat ko ito sa kasagsagan ng aking klase sa Pilosopiya noong Disyembre 2008. Hanggang sa ngayon, isa pa rin ito sa pinakabumubulabog sa aking diwa. Ano ito? Halina't basahin! (Iniklian ko na rin ang Turnback Tuesdays upang makatipid sa titik)

To the Tune of Two Left Feet

Last Friday, I finally watched Alvin Yapan's Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa with Yeng. I have been aching to watch this since the trailer came out a few months ago but just didn’t have the time. Thank God for a showing in the Ateneo.

Crazy, Stupid, Watermelon #replacetitleswithwatermelon

Must-see!

After an almost futile search for somebody to watch with me, I finally watched Crazy, Stupid, Love with my good friend Andrew last Tuesday. Though I had a few qualms, I still enjoyed watching Cal go crazy over the events that transpire after Emily proposes a divorce. Of course, how can you not love a film with such an endearing cast with an ANTM alum to boot? I actually hope though that Analeigh, who plays Jessica the babysitter, doesn’t look like that in real life because she was way beautiful in her ANTM cycle.

Since I don’t want to spoil anything about the film, I skirted the juicier snippets and would like to focus first on this conversation between Cal and his boss.

Cal: Who told you that Emily and I are getting divorced

Cal’s Boss: Amy heard you crying in the bathroom - we all thought it was cancer.
Cal: Oh…

Cal’s Boss: Thank God, man... *laughing*
Cal: Yeah, just my relationship... 

The scene ends with the whole office applauding after his boss shares the good news. Way to go, Cal’s douche boss officemates!

Is This Really Necessary? (Whatchathink Wednesdays)

A former participant who prefers to remain anonymous asked for advice regarding her current predicament in school.

She said that she finds her tests this semester much more difficult compared to the previous ones. She attributes the difficulty to her professor’s outrageous test types, her lack of a definite place and time to study and her bout with the expectations of her peers.

What should she do? Here’s a more cohesive version of my advice.

In Short, Affected. (Turnback Tuesdays)

Dahil nga nilulubos ko na ang paggamit ng wikang Filipino rito, isang talang isinulat sa sarili nating wika ang ating babalikan ngayon. Opo, nakasulat po ito sa Filipino bagama't Inggles ang pamagat. Inilathala ito sa pahina ko sa Multiply noong Setyembre 2008. Kung personal ninyo akong kilala, alam ninyong totoo ang talinhagang ginamit ko rito. Hala basa na!
