shungak kami

Hey how’s everyone? Bored outta my mind. Bought a whole lotta boardshorts thinking that maybe spending will ease away the pain of sitting on my ass all day. I’m a spectacle when I wear my shorts though with all that tugging coz the damn things just keep riding up everytime I walk. Not a pretty sight.



I read tin’s latest blog. You wanna be a flight attendant? Cool, mehn. My tita tried out for it and she pretty much fit the 1970s hackneyed image of a stewardess (remember when it was still considered super glamorous and everyone dressed up for their flights?): tall, pretty, congenial… she wore her reading glasses during the interview though. Big mistake. Apparently you need 20/20 vision to be a stewardess. (either that or they have a rule against reading. Haha.)
So, tin. have you read “wander gal” by tweet sering? I saw a copy in booksale after I read your blog. Couldn’t help but notice the similarities between you and the heroine in the book (haven’t read it but from what it purports to be you gheys have the same thing in common). If you haven’t read it, buy it. It’s so you. ;)



Oh. Remember the aborted game we were supposed to play in tin’s house? After listing the top five things you wanna be we were suppose to give our take on how we see the other person will or should be in the future (read: after college). I have a few ideas in mind and ignoring the risk of sounding intrusive and presumptuous I shall give ‘em to you gheys.

Mau: happily married hot momma with a gambling problem
Tin: capricious gitano
Rache: uh… this one’s sorta predictable. Ball busting (her words) lawyer wearing a pink suit during her trials
Mitz: creative director for whimsical hallmark cards
Bloo: ngo work. But don’t teach philo at the same time lest, you become a gus
Chat: coed pursuing higher education with a perennial love crisis ;)
Task: pre-school teacher (that or happily married – not exactly because of the husband but because of her cute, pigtailed, smiling, frilly dressed tykes)
Ken: if you ever think about going queer you can be the next tim yap
Jay: yuppie
Josh: maraming anak


Your turn, gheys. Gimme something fun to read. ;)


Missin and lovin you all,
>j

IN RESPONSE TO MITZI'S BLOG (April 12, 2004)

ok. i finally have enough guts to reply to mitzi's blog. and i wanna say A LOT of things.

first, thank you mitzi for sharing something so personal and emotional like that with us. We appreciate the opening up and the trust. actually, we've read your blog at the sleepover. tin wanted to comment but i asked her what she would write and she said she didn't know so hindi na natuloy. and we were kinda stuck in-between rin kasi naging blockmate namin si *ded ex* it felt awkward.

that leads me to my second point, i want to say sorry (well at least for myself 'coz i'm not sure if the others feel the same) if sometimes we don't seem to be there. i want you to know that we are there for you and we are concerned. we just don't know what to say sometimes or we don't know how to say it.

but i've realized that even if you don't know exactly what to say and how to say it, you should still do because more than the words and the manner of the delivery, what is important to the person is a sign that she is listened to and understood and love. so that's what i'm doing. finally, i've said it.

to the other shungak people, feel free to follow this comment.

we love you mitzi and we are here for you. we are all really happy that you have finally found your happiness with chinkin. :) mwah!

hey guys! had lotsa fun in our sleepover. thanks tin, mau, chattie, and jing. to the others who weren't able to come, sayang. it would have been even much more fun if you guys were there. hope you'll be able to come next time.

sorry i wasn't able to sing. napagod na ako eh. you know dami discoveries! jing is good at impersonations pala! and country impersonation at that. hehe... and chattie is crazy for you. hehe...

let's go to laguna.

4 years ago, I would have fallen for that over and over again.
I would have been intoxicated with your words, and seduced by the wit that I thought no man, but you could produce. I would have brought you band-aids to patch up the bleeding of your heart. I would have even cried. I would have fallen for you over and over again.

But. That was 4 years ago.
Today is another story.

Today I think you're a case of pity me pretty.
I see you as nothing but a self of cold-blooded longing for attention-sort. You're lucky you're gifted with such eloquence in the writ. That you can seduce your readers and convert them to feel your pain. And just yours.

I couldn't blame them. Nor You.
You were always good at psychology.
You know that only a few men out there actually bare their souls ala Carrey in Sex and the City, or Pablo Neruda in his poem: Tonight I can Write.
Anyone who finds a new dose of male-vulnerabilty will be sucked in.

Mesmerized. Intoxicated. Seduced.

I stumbled across you today. And find that you don't have that kind of effect on me anymore. And I just breathe.

However, I realize that stumbling across you raises many issues that were never really revealed. And since we're nothing near together now, I'll spit my thoughts away.

Did you feel the same way as you did now with your 2nd break-up?
*Correction. The feeling is not relevant, but more on: ano ba talaga ako sa yo dati, noong tayo pa?

Of course, the question is rhetorical. It's just a thought to ponder about at the backstage. Nothing serious.

You may wonder why I'm dwelling on this if I claim I am supposedly unaffected.
For the record. I am UNAFFECTED.

may the moonlight reveal your skeletons
for all to see.

I don't know your stories since we broke up, and frankly I don't care. But I have moonlight eyes. And though, it's not my mission to unveil your skeletons or destroy you to your readers, them avid fans of your written word, I read you to remind myself of the better life I've got. The better life I'm so lucky to have without you.

hi people!! im still alive!!!...and NOT WATCHING PORN 4 ur info! gago ka jing! lam k na crush m! hahahaha.... MIS U ALLLLLLLL!!!

i just lost my password and i couldn't log in. but that's o and d with.

and yes, i'm noticing a trend here. only a handful of people are posting. don't be mere specs mehn, i love and miss you all, please post. please. if not, then we'd really have to push through with our lets-make-up-stories-about-them-who-don't-post plan.
(ken's in the states (may internet naman dun di ba?), bloo's gone awol on us, task's busy with her new site, naks, big momma shungak: chattie is... watching porn (you don't answer my text kasi eh), josh... and jay are together - let's leave it at that.

'night.

may we all get the pleasant surprises of our lives when we get our grades later.

I gotta questions. (Permit the error. Nagfeefeeling thugga lang ako)

Tin. Yo.
What's the plan on Monday? I know there's a sleepover and stuff, but what about the other details such as
transpo. And other stuff like food. And is this overnight a one day overnight or will it extend to more?

You gotta give more detalye than that of the text on the overnight yo.... para may masabi akong kumpleto sa aking ina.

ahoy. can't say that passion was a great movie... it was graphic and painful and startling, but i guess i wish they showed more of the reason why jesus did that. i mean, they did, but... parang kulang. yun lang. scary yung ibang parts. sheesh.

so how are you people??? at bakit tayo pa lang ang nag-po-post dito?! i haven't heard from the other people in the longest time!

ay shucks! may kwento nga pala ako! hehe. wala lang, i saw lovestorm lang kasi for the first time nung tuesday. hehe. sobrang kinilig lang naman po ako. (sino ba namang hindi?!) ayun. kung meron kayong copy ng lovestorm, please pahiram naman cos i have no idea what the story is. i haven't even watched it since!

ayun. sige, hanggang dito na lang. hanggang sa muli!

washap, kiddies.

meech: no can do, meng. am in cavite (a sore point with my dad. i insisted on spending holy week here, and nagtampo siya. sabi niya wag na daw ako pumunta ng batangas, ibebenta na daw niya yung bahay namin dun. *sigh*).

would like to go sometime, though... next week? although my cousins are coming over sometime next week, too. can they come? they're just kids. yun.

anyway, tuloy tayo next week, right? 12?

agh!

anyway, i'm soooooo happy too see jing and rache here. yow! ang saya! hehe. it looks like a real blog now.

so yun ang kwento ko: my dad is mad at me and has threatened to sell our house in batangas (nagtatampo!) because i wanted to spend the holy week in cavite. labo, meng!

sige, i'm off to SM bacs for the passion. i just wanna see it even if my parents said na walang message daw. dunno, so i want to see for myself. besides, libre ng pinsan ko so walang problema. hehe.

before i lay myself down to sleep tonight...

tin since we live so nearby each other. aloha. let's play soccer.
like we get up real early to play so we don't get burned by the sun.

ban de soleil man.
you know i'm allergic to the sun. (to heat actually)

but there. let's play soccer. tomorrow i'll put my plans in here.

adios amigos.


|

i'm in! i'm in!
nanashi signing in.
(hey, that has a nice rhyme. hehe...)

i really miss you guys!
well, my summer has been mostly sleeping, eating, watching TV, watching movies, bumming at my cousin's house, and going online. in short, total buhay bum. but hey, it's our last summer so i guess that gives us license to do whatever we want.

btw, i finally got my own blog.
you know me, writing, and stuff.
pinknpurple.blogspot.com

tada! more next time!
|

hallo everyone. wassup?!!!!!

if you guys don't start writing, i will make up stories about the lives that you guys are living.
by doing so, i can put my imaginative mind into play and perhaps i will come up with a masterpiece.

but lo and behold. i am not that mean: neat as it is, i may not pursue that idea.

i think the spambots are after me. i think spambots have scanned my email somehow somewhere, that they are sending uber much junk into my inbox. what's worst is that i think spam people (the people who spam everyone else for a living, they are NOT the people who make spam or are made of spam-meat) have programmed spambots to gather my email, and then suddenly they're sending virus emails and annoying spams using my email address.

so, dearest tintotz.... if i may request. patanggal ng email add ko. ayaw ko nang maging spammer. cause i'm not one, and i don't want to be spammed anymore. :S

wala kaming tubig!!! siyet. maliligo ako sa labas ng bahay ko ngayon.
explanation:
those mediocre plumbing contratistas really screwed up the installation of the new pipes and the new pressure tank. ergo: not a single drop of water inside the house. pathetic.

it'll be a new experience. (i'm trying to be as optimistic as possible)
i'll make kwento about the strong winds against my soon-to-be-sort-of-naked-body-at-night-cause-i-have-to-shower-outside-my-house-because-there's-no-water-at-all-inside-the-house experience after i take my wonderful shower in a few minutes time. better yet. i would just shut up, so everyone will be spared from trauma and the sort. (especially jing, now that her PC's cookies are full of porn)

god. how's would my morning shower tomorrow be like? aggghhhhhhhh!!!!!
|

finally.

i think i typed a million username from the boring jing to the ornate *jing* to sing jing sing, sing!sing!sing!, realizing that i'm going nowhere i tempted fate with fucken a, sap crap, crappylicious, i am anal, so anal.

it finally accepted banal_anal. i don't see the fruit of my wasted brainpower though since it simply greeted me with a welcome, jing.


a few web lessons

- i googled my way to finding the perfect pasta recipe for the meatless holy week. almost wrote down a paste recipe. i can't type nor spell. dangerously inept.

- the perks and pitfalls of living in a house not your own for summer is the shared computer. no private users here so every incriminating evidence of your web persona must be handled with utmost discretion. bravo for google's nifty memory capacity when i type in say, chariots or cards or cvsgatk, CELEBRITY SEX (caps included) proudly flashes itself. my cousin's a classy guy.

- i think i'm in my seventh day of my daily doctor dictionary email. i mightily encourage (although mightily makes me cringe. i'm sorry. but that's the point of dr. d!) let's create our own language people! use words like coterminuos, mountebank, palaver and my current favorite: grandiloquent. we shall rule the world!*shakes fist weakly*

goodnight gheys.

oh kiddies, i am so happy. i have made improvements:
1. there are now links to our mail (unless you have a website).
2. there is also a section called pics of the week although the plural form is not quite right just now cos tinatamad ako. hehe. fyi, the pics are linked from pbase. note: if all you can see is a square with an "x", right click on it and click "show picture"
3. you can now leave comments of other people's post on our new commenting system by haloscan.

if anyone would like the colors changed or something, just let me know.

and oh yeah, if there's news that everyone should know, we can put it here too.

i'm even thinking we can have a lot of diff sections that i'll host on my website. also if you guys want, i can make a one-page thing for the people who don't have websites.

yuuuuuuuuuck. ang sipag ko.
this is what happens when you're bored.
anyway, i want to take up kickboxing and i'm gonna take a course on advanced flash, so maybe the boredom will be alleviated.

by the by, what is our alternative to bora? mukhang nde papayagan yung iba eh... :(

and is this the girls bathroom or is this the unisex type ala ally mcbeal? cause if it is a bathroom, then let the bathroom chismis begin....

mau, tin and i went swimming a few days back at the merville country club. it was fun. mau and i were comparing thighs, butts and bulges. we agreed tin was the thinnest.

there were a few high school boys trying to get our attention though. it was pathetic really. not because we're suplada like that (well,... we kinda may be "suplada" like that in some ways) but it was because it was stupid to flirt in a pool. correction, it IS stupid to flirt like that in a pool. besides they were YOUNG. Not that we aren't young, but they are YOUNGER.

moving on. i realized that pizza tastes best when you eat it at an ungodly hour. however, best things don't come for free. you'll just be haunted by the price of guilt and all these... "OhMyGod,I'mBlimpingUpEverySecond" thoughts and feelings of indigestion the morning after. but then again, it's all worth it... yummy 4 cheese pizza from yellow cab.... yum.

walking at night to the park is so much better with stray dogs following you sniffing you away from their territory, and with cars turning zippity fast at blind curves, and with friends singing aloud and often off key. it's done fear factor style and it's fun. oh. we got to the park and back home safe, so don't worry about it. :)

singing creatively sawi, horny kind of songs, and upbeat depressing kinds of songs are fun and hilarious too. way to go karen carpenter, joni mitchell, the beach boys and them singers of abracadabra! and it's better if you sing these songs with at least three's company.

so there's another opportunity to meet the ScooterBoys and the HighSchoolPoolPoys, eat pizza at an ungodly hour, walk at night with stray dogs sniffing all around you, and singing with the magic mic all these subconscious tendencies we have... on April 12. Tin will elaborate this for details.

hush.
i will stop now. i am waiting for reactions to my post.

Aloha!
