Utoy

His real name is Ricardo Carlos Z. Hermoso... which is going to prove to be a problem in pronounciation, since Utoy can not produce the "R" sound as of yet. Thus, dirty is "duhty," Spiderman is "Spiduhman," and angry is "angee." I imagine him going to school two years from now, introducing himself to his bewildered classmates as "Toy-toys" and screaming bloody murder, literally, if anyone tried to fuck with him.

Excited na 'ko. Sorry Ate. Har har har.Ü

ASTIG TO!!!

Got this from one of the too many messages that flood my inbox:

... Anyway, NEIL GAIMAN, the cultural icon behind Sandman, etc. whom Tori Amos keeps alluding to in her songs, is definitely coming to Manila next month courtesy of Fully Booked and Bibliarch.

The British Council is hosting a Writers Forum, Press Session and Autograph-signing with him at the Music Museum on Monday, July 11 from 1:30-3:00 p.m. sharp. Registration begins at 1:00 p.m.

Omyged. Neil Gaiman is like a god to me. I love Sandman. Just look at him.



Gaiman created whole universes in ten volumes of The Sandman... Sobrang astig lang talaga. The mythology for our times. Bumili kayong lahat ng Sandman!!!

Hay naku. So pupunta ba ko sa Music Museum? Hirap manghila ng tao e. Sana andito pa si Gem, baka sumama yun.Ü (Gem get your ass back from Noo Yawk!!!) Saka more importantly, wala akong mapapa-autograph na libro. Not one. Olats amp. Aaaarrgghh.

When I get rich enough I'm buying everything this guy's ever written.

One Week

Last Saturday night I was at the Araneta Coliseum with six of my cousins, all of us toting free tickets (courtesy of Ate Marianne) to the Rivermaya-Kitchie Nadal concert. I wasn't really excited, as I'm not a big fan of either... I'm more of a Bamboo's Rivemaya fan. Anyway free tickets mean Upper Box B seats - not that great, but passable - and we were entertained with Kitchie's Ellipse cologne commercial, which I found hysterical. Omyged. Is everybody really selling out these days? Barbie singing "One good day coming up" and "Para, cellphone, may proteksyon..." to the tune of "Limang Dipang Tao" was enough, and now we have Kitchie saying "Wag mong sasabihin a - pero kikay din ako!" to sell cologne?? Huh. But I'm not writing about that today.

The highlight of the night for me - you would think it was Rico Blanco strutting and moonwalking across the stage, which he actually did, but you'd be wrong - was the opening act I was not at all expecting. Yes, Martin, it was Spongecola. Hahaha.Ü They opened with "Lunes" and then introduced the next song with "Sino senti dito? Eto senti 'to. Special 'to - hindi namin 'to mashado tinutugtog e." It was "Crazy for You." Funny guy pala yung vocalist e. Anyway they then went into "KLSP" and I was on the edge of my seat when they started to play their last song... baka kase hindi tugtugin yung inaantay ko e. And then they did. Save the best for last pala. Hahaha. Yes, Dulce, it was "Jeepney."

After the concert we went to this bar called "El Caballero" and downed a few brewskys, singing along to the videoke machine. My mom called in the middle of all of it, screaming for my whereabouts til my ears bled, and told me to sleep over my cousins' house na lang as she could not stay up for me any longer. Unfortunately I didn't feel like it, so I stayed out until 2 in the morning and prayed she'd let me in the house when I got home. She did anyways. Sabi ko na love ako nun e. So it was a pretty fun night.

Tonight, however, is a different Saturday night. I'd write about it now, but my mom's probably screaming for my whereabouts again. Later.

Summer Tinatamad

For lack of substantial text, I will be posting pictures instead. Enjoy.


Miss ko na 'tong gagong 'to.


Ang kyut ni Martin dito.


Ang usapan, girls lang ang magssmile. Hence the picture.


Tawa lang ng tawa kahit walang Wari.


This is Utoy, my pet, at one and a half years old.


He likes singing to Boobop (Mmmbop), laughing at Bopbob (Spongebob Squarepants), and watching Eeman (Spiderman) ten times a day.


You will notice that he looks like my older sister Marie, and that is because she is our pet too.

That's all for today muna. Tamad.

Summer na... and I'm SOO bored

Ngayon lang ulit ako magboblog after... matagal na. In that span of time I watched Spiderman at least 30 times, swam an hour at Splash Island for 250 pesos, watched Meteor Garden I again, and successfully recompiled the FreeBSD 4.3 kernel after integration with TCP Veno. Masaya ako at may progress naman ang thesis ko.Ü

Meanwhile, ito ang latest LSS ko... isang napakagandang kanta.


Crazy Beautiful

Liquid, melancholy dreams
Won't you tell me what it means
'Cause you drive me crazy
Driftwood, won't you float me down your stream
Tell me what it means
'Cause you drive me crazy
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful

Don't go looking in my eyes tonight
Don't go telling me lies tonight
Don't go promising the skies tonight
When you're crazy
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful

Listen, all I need is you
Won't you tell me what to do
'Cause you drive me crazy
Baby, is it pulling on you heart
Is it tearing you apart
'Cause you drive me crazy
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful

If you don't need me I think I'll go
If you don't want me tell me no
If you don't need me I think I'll go
Oooh, Oooh, Ooooooh

Don't go looking in my eyes tonight
Don't go telling me lies tonight
Don't go promising the skies tonight
When you're crazy
'Cause you're crazy beautiful
'Cause you're crazy beautiful.


Ito naman ang picture namin nung graduation... ako lang ang binati ni Father Ben, ang Dean ng Ateneo, ng "Congratulations" sa aming lahat. Siyempre hindi nya alam na hindi ako nagmartsa, hahaha Ü



Yun na muna.Ü
