sabaw

so i was tasked to write an exposition paper on the successes and failures of the philippines in the past 50 years under the constitution. naturally, i consulted the highly respected (NOT!) mr. phytus bummer.

and this was his very poignant reply:
"sabihin mo 25 years ka pa lang na nabubuhay
sa 25 na yun,20 pa lang dun yung may isip ka na
sa 20,10 pa lang yung naging aware ka sa philippine consti
at sa 10 na yun,2 weeks ka pa lang kamo nagsimulang magcare sa consti
tapos as far as you are concerned,it is not that far and you are not really concerned.."

excellent, mr.bummer. XD

so i asked him another question: what are your thoughts on conserving and developing the patrimony of the nation?

to quote mr. bummer:
"we cannot conserve and develop what is already gone...
because patrimony does not play basketball for purefoods anymore
alvin patrimony"

aun. humagalpak na lang ako ng tawa. :P

tadhana - up dharma down

 

na-LSS ako dito for the past weeks. sarap pakinggan paulit-ulit. I love, love Up Dharma Down.

video taken while rehearsing Tadhana prior to Terno Inferno last Aug.21 2010. shot by Chi-town's Tony Rago. from youtube user ternomod

Tadhana - Up Dharma Down

Sa hindi inaaasahang
Pagtatagpo ng mga mundo
May minsan lang na nagdugtong,
Damang dama na ang ugong nito
'Di pa ba sapat ang sakit at lahat
Na hinding hindi ko ipararanas sayo
Ibinubunyag ka ng iyong mata
Sumisigaw ng pag-sinta

Ba't di pa patulan
Ang pagsuyong nagkulang
Tayong umaasang
Hilaga't kanluran
Ikaw ang hantungan
At bilang kanlungan mo
Ako ang sasagip saýo

Saan nga ba patungo,
Nakayapak at nahihiwagaan
Ang bagyo ng tadhana ay
Dinadala ako sa init ng bisig mo
Ba't 'di pa sabihin
Ang hindi mo maamin
Ipa-uubaya na lang ba 'to sa hangin
huwag mong ikatakot
Ang bulong ng damdamin mo
Naririto ako at nakikinig saýo
Hooohh... hoooohh...
Hooohh... hoooohh...
Hooohh... hoooohh...

Lalalala...

Ba’t ‘di salubungin ang puso ko at kunin
Ang diwang malaya huwag sanang magpabaya pa
Ikaw ang pag-ibig, pakinggan ang himig ko
Wala na sanang lalayo, mundong ito ay hihinto

zombies must've gotten to my brains

i feel like my brain is currently sporting a sign that says: temporarily unavailable. please process your transaction later. or something to that effect. if you cut off my head, this is probably how it looks like right now:



gah! i need to finish my exposition papers asap! i kinda have this (very vague) idea on how to go through with it but it involves me racking up my brain / researching on the history of the philippine politics and economic history for the past 50 years. (mind you, history has always been my waterloo.) and i don't know where on earth im gonna start. :(
 
oh well.. looks like there's gonna be no drinking for me this week. boo! :(

pantutut

yan ang tawag sa kin ng mga kamag-anak ko(father's side) sa cavite. pantutut. ambaho no? haha. tapos sa mga kapatid ko, perendos at perenseng. i have no idea where they got these names from. ung isang cousin namin, bindonggo. ung tatay ko taring (my dad's real name is ceferino, nicknamed efren). haha. i know, we're just weird like that.

so i was thinking about the names i go by or get called by other people.

e.j.- my name's initials.  from edren joy. this is how my other relatives call me. i consider this my decent "for-relatives" nickname. because pantutut just sucks. really.

edren - my first name. a mash-up of my parents name: eder and efren. this is how GS/HS friends call me.

ate lily - how my cousins from my mother's side calls me. short for "ate lilitsunin ka na sa sobrang taba mo". because all my cousins from my mother's side has stick-thin bodies.

edz - simula ng mauso ang 1 syllable nicknames nung second year high school. this is how my close friends from HS calls me. pati college friends/acquaintances and everyone i met after that. kasi pag iniintroduce ko ang sarili ko as "edren" di magets agad ng ibang tao.

darren - eto medyo nakakahiya. some HS friends used to call me this. i refuse to elaborate. :P

babs - how me and some of my closest HS friends: she, chast and jovz call each other.obviously short for baboy. :P

ligaya - my stat 125 classmates called me this. because i mentioned that i hate the name joy and will never have that as a nickname. so, led by marlon, they decided to call me ligaya instead.

patty - short for patabain. was called this name by the members of P family. the family consists of shayne - nanay pinky, her then-boyfriend kuya allan - tatay pitsog, aster - pangs, lai - pranny, docs - pervy and ivy - porky.

budz - mga buddies ko sa angkan. jay, rap, mimay, oui. pero ito na din ang tawag sa kin ng housemates minsan.

ebren - isa pang tawag ng housemates. para instead of edz eh ebz ang itawag nila sa kin. what is it with people and pagpapabaho ng pangalan ko? :P

friend - how me and my closest sitel-maa friends jayson and sharon call each other.

montoya/pare - my sitel-cr "pares" pan and anievas. we call each other pare or by the last names.

bitu - ako si b2. si irma ang b1/biwan dahil magkadugtong ang bituka namin at palagi kaming pareho ng naiisip. nagkakatinginan na lang kami sa floor at tatanungin ko cya bigla na "naiisip mo ba ang naiisip ko biwan?" to which she will reply "sa palagay ko nga, bitu." and much, much, much more often than not, we are thinking of the same thing.

mare - my teammates from team jean: irma (ulet), shyr, lv and marge.because we are all ninangs and ninong of shyr's baby, mackoy.

bords - tawagan namin ng closest guy friends ko sa training sa ventus na sina joey at steve. from the spoof of 300 na napag-usapan namin habang pauwi kami galing office.

renren - how my closest CVG friends: pipay, drei aki and joan calls me. we call pipay - fifi, drei - dede, aki - kiki, joan - jojo. we will also all respond to being called "mama".

panget - how my little sis and i call each other. that's how sweet we are as sisters. hehe. walang basagan ng trip. :P

celebrating solitude

deactivated my twitter and plurk accounts. offline on FB and skype. had cellphone turned off for the past week.considering the deactivation of my FB account as a desperate attempt to stifle my laziness. horrified that i have become too dependent with the world wide web. someday, i'll muster up the courage to live a month without internet connection. not really cool trying to separate oneself with the world if you're getting to see updates from friends on your FB wall. me time has suddenly turned into site-surfing-slash-stalking-people-on-FB kinda thing.

will go back to civilization tonight/tomorrow (depending on what time i wake up). being all-holed-up for that long makes me all the more excited to see my friends. i'll probably be quite the chatterbox once i get there. :P but for the moment, my body needs a bit of sleep. :)
