Posted by Andrew on Feb 16, '12 7:39 PM for everyone Too much character for twitter so I'll just lifecast
1. Tired from interviews and adtests. "Would you like me to walk you through my work?" is a line well worn. Heard from a friend that the HR who processes my application has resigned. Kat has left think so I do not have anyone to ask what to do about it.
2. Nothing like chinese-speaking relatives to make you feel like a savage. Auntie Sally (together with ate sharon) came bearing vigan-gifts earlier today. "di be ki lo?" she asked me, I answered in fluent grunting.
3. You're sleeping on my bed as I type. the feeling is strangely familiar. like im 12 all over.
4. Brace yourselves, weekend is coming. Posted by Andrew on Jan 24, '12 7:08 PM for everyone In other news, ate sharon and stanley came to visit today. Sharon is my cousin and Stanley is my pamangkin/childhood friend. I really did miss Stanley, magkasundo kami dati sa aming dreams of writing fiction nung bata pa kami. He's studying law now, and writing for pelikula (on tumblr).
Family has found me on twitter. sharing has been compromised. I guess im back on multiply. Posted by Andrew on Jan 24, '12 6:00 PM for everyone First, discussion of a recent event- I spent 3 days in Tagaytay. Ang inet.
Second, perhaps share a detail you particularly enjoyed during said event- The food at LZM was awesome. I can still feel the bulalo and chicharon bulaklak coating the insides of my veins ready to cause pulmonary embolism at x-hour. Masarap din sa Bag of Beans. Kadiri sa Sonya's garden.
Next, say something totally unrelated- Ides of march was a very good movie. The vibrating-scene was brilliant.
Find something else to say- I know it's years late but I really enjoyed Moulin Rouge. Especially the "Smells like teen spirit-Lady Marmalade" mash up.
And finally, say something about missing somebody as if it's an afterthought- Fuck, I'm hopeless. Blames the high altitude.
End with something totally unrelated- My sister is an annoying facebook girl. Posted by Andrew on Oct 31, '11 10:40 PM for everyone Ang ganda @@. Pareho ng sumulat eternal sunshine of the spotless mind: Charlie kaufman. And for some reason mas gusto ko to. Ang twisted talaga. Ang simple lang ng premise ng mga stories niya lagi pero he finds ways para mapa-ikot ikot ikot. huhuhuhu. ang galing talaga. :(
Ang ikli ng post na to, pero ang haba kasi for twitter. please panoorin niyo may copy ako. :D
*pahiram libro Posted by Andrew on Oct 31, '11 2:35 PM for everyone Just finished watching the breakfast club. Tungkol sa mga batang na-detention. I liked Allison and Brian best. I hated Bender (I've always hated those type of characters) and I hated the fact that it's him who moves the plot forward.
I hated Brian's ending and I think what happened to Allison and Andy in the end is a bit of an overkill.
It's a good coming of age movie. di kasi natapos yung tino-torrent ko (may kupal kasing nagpatay ng computer at hindi ni-run pagka-bukas) kaya ito nalang. In other news, bumili ako ng bagong salamin. Mas malaki. Posted by Andrew on Sep 24, '11 10:45 AM for everyone I did a little experiment. I was on something when I wrote this. I'm not proud but it felt so good na sinusulat mo yung thoughts mo as you think them, kaya di ko din inedit. Favorite ko yung line sa taas kasi walang sense pero parang meron. Mali nga eh, dapat pala handwritten para mas pa-deep, or artwork? Kasi ang prolific ko talaga while it was happening, I had to stop myself or else it will lose its novelty. "Never again" is a promise I always break. No editing. No judgement? thanks.

Observation: puro pala "say one thing, mean another" yung style nung pagkasulat ko. I will try to remember what I meant sa mga phrases sa itaas if you ask me. Posted by Andrew on Aug 1, '11 8:35 PM for everyone The problem with downloading too many movies/series is that you'd have a harder time choosing which one to watch first. Madmen and Misfits (s02) and Star Wars are all competing for my attention. I'm too lazy to come up with better adjectives so suffice it to say that while Madmen and Misfits are good, I think I'll dedicate the weekend to Star Wars.
Having chosen SW, I am now confronted with the predicament- where do I begin, Anakin or Luke?
They say Phantom Menace was the worse among the SW franchise but I don't agree. Anakin was most endearing as a child, esp when piloting for the pod races. I liked Attack of the Clones least. All grown up, Anakin was really painful to watch, laging galit at conflicted. Besides, I also have a problem with how Hayden drags his syllables.
Ewan McGregor, too, as Obi wan was rather...dissatisfying; he lacks the finesse of a master Jedi and looks totally choreographed (esp in ep2). Prolly because Liam Neeson was like Jesus as Qui-Gon Jinn. Tough act to follow. (Trivia: Liam Neeson trained both Christian Bale as the Dark knight and Obi Wan.)
Having said that, I think casting Natalie Portman as Padme was a smart move. If it were just any other actress I wouldn't have understand why Anakin would defy the Jedi order and succumb to the dark side to save her. I had to keep my "just let her die, please" mentality in check.
I had to watch madmen in between kasi after extensive exposure to Star Ships and Light Sabers and galactic awesomeness the world start to dull by SW standards. Why wouldn't things move when I use <the force>? Or maybe it's because I sincerely want to follow Peggy's career as secretary-turned-copywriter?
the 4th episode was a pleasant experience. It's like watching The Terminator for the first time. Mga movies na "before its time" ba. Pero I have this nagging feeling that light sabers are too similar to wands. O baka naman kasi HP generation talaga ako? Whatever, I enjoyed it. I'll watch eps 5 and 6 the forthcoming weekend.
I mean no disrespect to hard core starwars fan writing this, baka kasi mag mukha akong poser (lol, hindi ba?) having very little knowledge of the SW Universe. Besides, it's the weekend, I've nothing to do. I would go to my blockmate's father's funeral but I'm not comfortable with, well, death. My condolences, nothing to look forward to but the Thestrals. But those belong to another fandom altogether. :(
Posted by Andrew on Jul 9, '11 12:23 PM for everyone I want to but I don't feel qualified to write about the 2nd Installment of Rebirth of Evangelion. Besides, I think it's useless; I understood less than half of it. The 2++ hour movie, aside from being intense, is intentionally vague, just how I remember it from childhood. Naalala ko nung grade 3 or 4 ako, bukod sa nagugulat nalang ako na may tumatambad na hubad na katawan sa tv, ang recurring reaction ko ay: teka, anu daw?
Some parts are not faithful to the original series, pero di naman ako purist so I think it's forgivable. Ang reklamo ko lang <spoiler alert> bat parang wala yung part na dapat synchronized ang action ni Shinji-Asuka to beat an angel? I thought that part was cute. (Eva=Cute, parang may mali?)
They also introduced a new character who piloted unit 02 after Asuka got mixed up with unit 03-turned-angel (na sa series, if my memory serves me hot, ay si touji ang unfortunate na nag pilot). Gusto ko din yung bagong aspects ng dummy plug @@. ang intense.
Ang emphasized din ng Shinji-Rei loveteam (You're the only Ayanami for me!) towards the end. Napapa-eye roll ako minsan. ALSO, di natuloy ang Rei-Asuka sampalan scene! hahaha.
ALSO, bago ang logo ng NERV! Ang 2011 ng design at animated! It was okay.
Pero teka, Akala ko ba ayokong pagusapan?
----------------------------------
Between Dia Frampton and Javier Colon, I would always choose Xenia.
Blake Shelton > Adam + Cee Lo + Christina and her "for-the-moment" acting
---------------------------------
I'm very pleased with myself this week. Eto yung mga panahong feeling mo validated ka ng mga outputs mo, mga panahong feeling mo na you're good at what you're doing. I'm sure this feeling won't last kaya sina-savor ko siya.
Beginner's luck aka nga ni matt. Signing off. Gnyt. Posted by Andrew on May 23, '11 2:11 AM for everyone Letter came in from Publicis JimBasic today. It's the fresh grad equivalent of a hogwarts letter but without the owls. The first paragraph says that I had good grades and that I was a lion; the next paragraph states that they have no need for fresh grads at the moment but would file my CV for pooling and call me should there be an opening. It was a really sweet gesture, but I lost my phone to a thief just this morning.
It happened at the Gil Puyat station. I was halfway through the turnstile when a hand snaked its way inside my pockets and grabbed my brand new hand-me-down phone. I rushed to the guard and told him to look around for the guy (we assume women are homely and docile) who got my phone. Turns out the guard was determinedly retarded and just stood there; he told me to point to whoever I think got my phone and if I could identify, then he would give chase. I fucking opened the gates and went down the stairs but deep down I know my phone was lost forever.
I was near-tears. In that phone were 10episodes-worth of good times with mo the podcast. I felt like I was doing a great dis-service to mo kasi he needs us, fans, to get him through his breakup with rhian. hahaha.
Also, I was waiting for a call from This Certain Agency. Another Agency was offering me a position but the pay is not good so this call could potentially save me from a potentially low-paying job. Yung nag pr-propose kasi na agency ay maliit lang at filipino-owned. Alangan ako tanggapin yung offer kasi feel ko lang sobrang disproportionate yung work load sa bayad pero the learning experience and opportunity for career development is definitely there. But hey, beggars can't be choosers. At since di ako makapag-decide kung tatanggapin ko yung offer, yung universe na yung nag-decide para sakin. "What calls?"
Bat sakin lang nangyayari tong mga bagay na to? hahaha. I got home and told my brothers about it. Buti nalang they were very patient with me (they've always been). I would watch skins to take the edge off pero ubos na pala ang episodes ko at di pa tapos ang download. Paul is right, effy is effin hot. I think she's even hotter than emma watson. Posted by Andrew on Apr 18, '11 8:24 AM for everyone Before I start, I would first like to assume that my reader is a graduate/a student of advertising or any related course and would therefore have an idea about what I am writing about. Why else would you be here?
Below is a list of the best and the snobbiest agencies in Makati, most of them found in Ayala. I personally prefer being a walk-in applicant (against applying online). Sure, applying online is probably cheaper and less problematic, but where is the fun in that? With the shotgun application method, you get to walk and appreciate the glass and concrete buildings trying to upstage each other, sweat enough for 2 people, lose 3 inches off your waist, and be 4 shades darker after the experience. Nakakapagod, pero adventure. But if adventure is what you're really after, maybe it's best that you stop reading and find your own way around. :)
***
A few tips, which you may disregard.
First off, dress up. You will be stared at, which will make you wonder if the tie and the premature pompadour is an overkill, pero magaganda kasi yung mga receptionist kaya nakakahiyang hindi magbihis.
Secondly, bring water. There are 7-11 and ministop outlets everywhere but I'm trying to spend light because I plan to spend whatever's left of my travel money to buy DVDs. There are people selling yosi's in Ayala believe it or not. They stand against the building walls with these duffel bags filled with candies and stuff. They wear smart casual so it's a bit harder to spot them. Anywho I don't think they sell water.
Third, wear something dark. I actually wore black. It's a good color to hide the sweat pooling on your back, under your arms, and your chest. Or navyblue, everybody looks good in navyblue.
Fourth, bring ID. Most buildings require non-employees to get passes. I brought my brother's College ID because I lost mine to vandalism.
Fifth, never touch your, well, self after massaging your feet with menthol-rubs. It still burns.
Sixth, ask the receptionist if they are currently hiring so you wouldn't have to wait for their call if they're not. Anyways, they will hand your resume to the HR for pooling (or for something to burn). I thought of it a little too late and wasn't able to ask them all. Or maybe you can call before hand? Yeah, that would work. I don't have landline so it doesn't matter.
Seventh, try to accomplish everything on one side of the street before moving to the other (side of the street, i mean, hhee). Crossing the underpass (Tawirang di nakamamatay) is such a bitch.
***
Without further ado:
1. McCann Worldgroup: (34F, GT Tower) The bus would stop before crossing Makati Med and I suggest you alight the bus and walk to GT Tower. The building entrance is a bit small and understated but once inside, the building will look down on you with impunity. There is a really steep escalator to your right which will lead you to the elevators. The MW office never really made an impact. I remember it being a lot of white tho.
2. Publicis Jimenez Basic (14th Floor, Solaris One Building) Across GT Tower (but not directly across) is a parking lot, pass through it and you have reached Solaris One. I held the elevator for some guy who apparently works at Publicis, pogi points. Publicis office is nice. Better than MW, i think. They have their "agency of the year" plaque begging for your attention on their receptionist's desk. Before leaving, I saw the receptionist rise and wave my CV to a person who I would like to assume as somebody from HR. Or maybe their resident shredder. Who knows.
3. LOWE (15-17/F Rufino Pacific Tower). Rufino pacific tower lobby is the least hellenistic of all the buildings I've been to in Ayala. It was too busy and the elevator area is too crowded. The Lowe office, or at least the visible portion, is a bit drab. There are papers pasted on the wall behind the receptionist's desk. Kasi lowe is introducing this new elaborate design that envelopes their originally square logo and they decided that the best way to do this is by printing them in bond papers and pasting them on the wall. It was such an eye sore. The recieving area was small but the lady who used her magnetic card to open the door for me was nice.
4. Leo Burnett (34F, tower II, The Enterprise Center). The enterprise center lobby looks like a mall. Leo Burnett is on the 34th floor of the second tower. The elevator to the second tower is beside Starbucks, nagkamali kasi ako ang nasakyan ko yung papuntang tower I. LEO BURNETT OFFICE IS THE BOMB. Ang ganda talaga! Wood, glass, subdued lighting, quotations on a white wall, haaaay. ang ganda. The receptionist asked me if I submitted my resume na to Starcom which is on the next floor. Apparently, hiwalay na ang HR ng Leo Burnett at Starcom? Basta! Visit the office and see for yourself how pretty it is.
5. Rocketscience Manila (f&m lopez II) Rocketscience is found in the less snobby, more crass part of Makati. F&M Lopez II looks like an upgraded apartment. You wouldn't suspect that their penthouse is an office for an ad agency. The elevator of f&m building is traumatic. ALL-WHITE. Feeling ko dadalhin ako sa langit. grabe.I actually liked the 4-day work week scheme ng rocketscience (based on their recruitment ad that I saw online) pero apparently they are not hiring. Kaya pala walang response sa email ko.
6. Publicis Manila (4F Herco Center) Di ko na pinuntahan to kasi malayo. :( Maybe some other time.
7. DRAFT FCB (4F Jaka Building) Jowee's future workplace. Di ko na din pinuntahan out of respect kay jowee. I didn't bother tracing it din kasi it might weaken my resolve to not share workplace with a friend. I actually wanted to work sa DRAFT pero, nevermind. haha.
8. BBDO proximity (11F Insular Life Bldg) Their office looks like it's a bodega under renovation but you can tell this is just for effect. Their best works are framed outside their office. There is this long eerie hallway you have to cross before you turn left to their receptionist. And then there are rows and rows of cubicle. A bit dark, not exactly a pretty office, if that's what you're after. hahaha. The elevator, too, wasn't very pretty. May jollibee sa baba so pwede ka mag lunch after.
9. JWT (7F Equitable Tower) JWT office has a fusball on their waiting area. They share building with the swiss embassy.
10. Campaigns and Grey (8F Lepanto) Right beside Equitable tower is BA Lepanto building. The elevator would open to a really sucky CG logo. To your right is a glass door. I don't think they are hiring tho, kasi sabi nung receptionist: Okay, I'll just take this for re-rawsh-rawhs-rawsh. I didn't catch the last bit but was too timid to ask.
11. Dentsu Indio (15th Floor Petron Mega Plaza) And theen...Sakay ka ng makati loop na jeep and baba ka sa gasoline station sa tapat ng Pacific Star, building ng Level Up. 2 buildings from Pacific Star is Petron Mega Plaza, it's a blue-ish building na walang sign na siya nga ang petron mega plaza. It's tall considering The buildings in Gil Puyat are short and gray (as opposed sa tall and oppressive buildings ng ayala). Dentsu Indio shares floor with 4 other offices, so i don't think it's THAT big. Pero maayos yung red-black-brown themed office nila. Naka-display din yung mga ads nila (mostly canon) sa reception. Anywho they are not hiring. Sayang. There are more yosi places in gil puyat.
12. TBWA (Yakal cor Chino Roces) tawid ka From Petron Mega plaza at sumakay ng jeep papuntang pasong tamo. Baba ka sa KFC malapit kila allen wee sa malugay.A short walk from there you'll see a low building, medyo white and glass ang itsura. I don't feel very hopeful about TBWA. Oh wait, that's TBWA/. never forget the "/". Di ko alam san galing yun. siguro for effect din.
I think 2 jeepney rides away from TBWA is Ace Saatchi. Pero di ko nadin pinuntahan ang love marks (chikinini, rough translation) building kasi ang layo. If you're feeling more adventurous you can ride the PNR home.

So yun. that was my adventure for the day. Sorry ang haba at ang excruciatingly detailed. Sobrang nakakapagod so I napped for 4 hours after. I'll try to go to taguig some other time. Meanwhile, I wait for calls I would never recieve. Goodluck sakin. :( Posted by Andrew on Mar 23, '11 11:00 PM for everyone I hate it when This Trending Topic surfaces and people look to me for a reaction. I sometimes sense that they may be trying to squeeze some hate out of me. Unfortunately, I've ran out.
One person even had the audacity to reach out and grope my arm as if to console. Which I think is worse. It's a "pull-yourself-together" kind of grope. I was protesting internally.
I do not feel hate. I definitely do not feel scorned. It takes a lot of practice to be unaffected, at least give me some credit?
And even if I were affected, why would anybody assume that I actually am?
Im not angry, im just tired; it IS getting old. We ARE graduating. Talk about it all you want but I have nothing to add.
-----------
I've also ran out of madness in my life.
Meron akong fear na sa simula lang exciting ang work place setting. As with everything, sa simula lang exciting.
Yun siguro ko yung kinakatakot ko. Aside from rejection, I keep on stalling job-hunting kasi I fear na wala na yung luster once na-absorb ko na yung system. Kaya I'm so willing to underemploy myself, Work-hopping parang ganun.
Humans are prone to pattern. I don't want my life to fall into a pattern unless I have someone to fall into a pattern with.
I want to be devastated! hahaha. I want to be at the risk of not being able to recuperate. Diba may line nga na--there are too many mediocre things in this world, why should love be one of them?
There shouldn't be a shortness of madness in the world, right?
Posted by Andrew on Mar 6, '11 2:58 AM for everyone For the first time in a long time I am left without an executable plan of action. It scares me. @.@
Alam mo yun? Gusto ko gumawa ng timetable. Alam niyo namang time-table person ako. Pero.
Pero gaya nga ng sabi ko kay Taina, Looking stupid for trying scares me more than underachieving.
I am experiencing what alexa calls the post-drinking depression.
Those indian smoking device, ive tried it. Watermelon flavored. Somehow I feel maka-mundo. It was okay.
There are hands where there shouldn't be hands. genius.
Relationships demand settling, and cocooning, and contentment while I am at a point in my life where I need to spread out. I might need to severe some ties but I'm too sissy for that. Im too sissy for anything.
Or too selfish/needy/i hate myself. Or baka ayaw ko lang talagang mag severe ng ties. How could I when it feels so good to crash into the niche someone has made for you between their head and their shoulders.
I just want intellectually-stimulating conversations, but I might have to look for that someplace else.
Sino bang sigurado? Posted by Andrew on Feb 20, '11 1:50 AM for everyone which are two very different things by the way. because sometimes you discover that highschool parties are one of the best places to whore around. Not that you ever did whore around, but sometimes you just want to shock people with your vocabulary.
Even as you traverse the notorious streets of tondo at 4am you surprisingly feel no remorse whatsoever because you know there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing bad things once in a while. You have been playing nice for too long, small developments like this excites you.
So now you're nursing a major headache even as you type this entry. Seriously, 2 occassions in one night? You never saw yourself as the party animal. Or as any animal, for that matter. Anybody else thinks the sun is too bright?
And you know how people say: "We're all adults here."? Well that's a lie. It usually means there are no adults here, and you should divulge your dirties secrets and live out your nastiest fantasies precisely because.
Much like how it's usually the ugliest person in the room who shouts "Wacky naman! Wacky!" during photo ops. Every wacky shot is an act of charity.
----
Anyway you are confident that your mom will not ask you about why your shirt reeks of cigarette smoke. You have made it quite clear that you don't smoke, But everyone around you smokes just the same.
You've read somewhere that Ariens are prone to addiction, but smoking never did quite caught on for you. Malcolm gladwell said that the people who are addicted to nicotine are those that have a high level of x-hormones, characteristics of someone who is suffering from depression. So addiction to nicotine is by association a sign of depression.
but you are too proud to admit you're depressed, so you don't smoke. that and the fact that you simply don't enjoy it.
you sound like a first year college still scandalized by smoking writing this. But smoking is a metaphor for a lot of things, but not really.
Like how you don't want to be somebody's nicotine patch. and how you're not sure you're fine treating somebody like a nicotine patch. We all have our own quitting to do, but you think it's nicer if you quit by yourself.
---
that and
"Don't make me your one hope for a normal life" the girl said to bruce wayne.
and
You can't help but ask life, and the people in general: what do you want from me?
and that
Sometimes you discover that highschool parties is the perfect place to whore around, but you don't do it. They are better as distractions. <insert name here> who? Posted by Andrew on Jan 29, '11 12:01 AM for everyone Actually it's Ermin Garcia, but I have this fascination with words whose spelling is different from its pronounciation (opposite of "kung anung bigkas siyang baybay"). Like how ChoppIN is ChoppAN, MoulIN is MoulAN and RodIN is RodAN (Solenn is SolAnn). Ermin Garcia is a street beside the most vulgar wet market in Cubao, Nepa Q mart. I can't think of a way to alter its pronounciation to make it less obscene, the bus drivers opted for "Q-mart." But it sounds too much like Shoe Mart. Tho nobody calls SM Shoe Mart anymore. I don't really know where im getting at with this.
I was riding the bus from Edsa when I had this urge to ask for the driver's name. Pangalan kasi nung driver nung bus na sumabog sa makati is Maximo Peligro.
Wearing my world-weary chucks and faded jeans and a shirt that commoditizes our culture, I went to see my "client" to get my hands on those left-handed ballpens. I made some calls and found out that National bookstore only has the right-handed versions. My hair grew a bit so it's less edgy. There were dusts of hair on my face. My pimples were subdued under the lights of farmer's. I looked a bit more like an adult today. I hope they take me seriously. I think I sounded like a kid on the phone, I was at once discovered for a student by Summit Media employees and wouldn't let me near their adrates.
Cubao, especifically Gateway, used to be a happy place for me. Probably because Fully booked is one of the first stores you see after stepping off LRT2 (Or Max's, or Picture City). I have equated Fully booked with waiting, altho hindi yung wala kang napapalang waiting, actually it doesn't feel like waiting pag nasa loob ako ng fullybooked. Dun kami naghintay ng matagal nung highschool para idiscuss with Clarette ang scope and limitations ng debate (about teaching religion in public schools if i remember correctly). Dun ako naghintay for aislin (who conveniently decided not to show up the last minute) nung UAAP cheerdance competition nung first year. Dun ako naghintay kay Andrea for a MAlcolm Gladwell book. I dunno why but Cubao's not so fun for me anymore. The fact that Araneta Coliseum is playing Taylor Swift tracks is not helping.
Gusto ko sumakay ng fx papuntang kahit san. Like i'm wating for something, or somebody to turn up. Pero mar-realize mo, oh yeah, wala nga pala akong hinihintay/naghihintay para sakin ngayon. It's like you have these feelings. Recurring feelings, hindi mo na naman sila iniisip, pero bumabalik sila, they are triggered by things familiar. And you feel pathetic everytime you remember them kahit it's more out of habit than remaining affection or anything or whatever. Feeling mo ang pathetic mofor remembering things and suppressing these thoughts when some people had not thought of them, not even for one second. Urgh i cant be left alone with my thoughts. I guess na-trigger to sa bus nung tinanong ko yung mama- "gateway na po ba yun?" "Oo, yun, papuntang Antipolo, Sta. Lucia Mall, ganun." then you put two and two together, feel bad, realize that things happened too long ago to matter, and feel utterly pathetic.
Anywho off to Erman Garcia.
Posted by Andrew on Dec 23, '10 7:17 AM for everyone -una sa lahat, bat ang indifferent mag perform ni eli buendia? Dahil ba naging background music ang first song nila sa fireworks? Alapaap, tho, was very transporting. Feeling ko 7 ulit ako at yung mga tito at tita ko, who at that time were more single and less problematic, ang nagpapatugtog.
-Achi's home from dumaguete. :) It's beginning to look a lot like christmas. Kaya gumawa ako ng hand-made na decorations, mga maliliit na banderitas mula sa lumang magazine at sinabit ko sa harap ng computer at sa ref.
-I mean, hindi naman kasi talaga ako christmas-person. I've had terrible christmas-es. Pero wala lang, nung umuwi si achi I felt like downloading christmas songs. hehe.
-I wonder: how long till I start being irritated sa dami ng tao sa bahay? (apparently not long, kinabukasan ng gabi ay irritable na ko)
-One more reason bat bawal mag federal form of government ang philippines- edi magiging united states of the philippines tayo. Pag advertising ka that's USP. right? no? okay. (the same reason bat di pwedeng maging university ang st. benilde. Magiging USB sila. urgh korni. somebody stop me...)
-most (un)opportune track to suddenly play from your playlist when everyone is around for the holidays: I wanna see your peacock-cock-cock-cock. hehe
-Somewhere along the way you will realize that "What would david droga do?" is not exactly effective.
-hasbians= has been + lesbians. (from Scott Pilgrim). I felt compelled to share.
-When i'm stuck and tired and sleepy I ask myself: Will this look like an ad in the morning? and then I sleep.
-pa-baklaan ng christmas playlist: I have Kesha, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and rihanna. David Archuleta nalang ang kulang.
Merry Christmas Everybody! :) Posted by Andrew on Dec 5, '10 5:49 PM for everyone Tapos ko na season 1 ng The O.c. Ipapa-force marathon ko kay jowee at taina para naman may kausap ako tungkol dun. >:| meanwhile, the hunt for a new series is on. Suggestions anyone?
anything other than yes is no anything other than stay is go anything less than I love you is lyiiinnngggg -friends lovers or nothing
Nakakakilig yung "acknowledge me now or lose me forever" dialog ni seth cohen.
Madalas naming kasama ni Taina si jin buzon lately. Ang onti na rin kasi namin sa class grabe. as in around 12 yung regular. madami na kung umabot kami ng 15.
Listening to recent-past songs the man who can't be moved, breakeven, better that we break, wont go home without you, bad day, etc. Sana maroon 5 sa paskuhan. kahit ang pangit ng bagong album.
RC + MB moments >Sir Hannibal: Gusto niyo na bang mag break? Mark Buenaobra: (isang malakas na-) YES!
>Sir Hannibal: Mr Buenaobra, anu ang pagkakaiba ng Ateneo noon at Ateneo Ngayon? Mark Buenaobra: um...Curriculum?
Ang dami kong lifecasting na hindi pina-publish lately. pati tong entry na to ang boring.
Ang daming characters ng glee. Hindi naman mahirap sundan pero, minsan sa sobrang dami nila insert nalang yung iba. Buti si Santana medyo madaming exposure. Si santana parang spunk ni dianne plus skin tone ni LA.
Posted by Andrew on Oct 10, '10 3:24 AM for everyone -Hay salamat naman at umuwi na si jeje mula sa camp. Sobrang badtrip talaga nitong mga nakaraang araw kaya sobrang welcomed yung presence niya. Kaso nagbakasyon naman sa bulacan after a few days. wth.
-After a week of labouring sa mac room for the fucking demo reel, sa wakas natapos din siya. Ayaw mag export kasi masyadong maganda- i mean- mabigat yung mga files, salamat sua for suggesting na mag 1280x720 ako. HAAHAHA. Pag-uwi ko sa bahay, Command-S ako ng Command-s eh naka pc pala ako. hahaha. kaya pala ayaw gumana.
-Mga bagay na nabibili ng pera na gusto kong magkaron in the future,from pinaka madaling magkaroon to pinaka-mahirap--
1. A dog- i hate toy dogs. gusto ko yung beautiful hollywood dogs. yung mas magastos pa yung kinakain kaysa sa kapit bahay ko. hahaha.
2. a motorcycle- Nice. I think it's because of the fact na hindi ako pwedeng nasa isang pwesto for too long. =D Joby, by the way, asked me this question- may ADHD ka ba? legit na tanong ba yan...
3. A piano- frustrated tumugtog. A keyboard would do, too. Korni Joke- what's better than a rose on a piano?...... tulips on an organ. -Looks away-
4. Mac- and a PC. and whatever technology na necessary sa career.
5. A studio- a lavish home first, perhaps.
6. a ford- Those really big beautiful creature thay call cars. I'm not really into cars pero i at once fell in love with the model after seing it upclose habang naka-sakay ako sa backride ng trike. From a tricycle, lahat ng kotse maganda. haha. Kung hindi ford, yung pick-up-ish na may space sa likod. Hilux-ish. told you wala akong alam sa kotse. Nakwento ko na ata to kila jowee at rax at andrea.
7. A library- Siguro kayong lahat din. parang physical proof/accumulation kasi ng nalalaman. Imagine if we were comparing collections natin ng books, or kung sino mas maganda ang collection ng filipino poetry, or what not, imbis na kanta sa ipod. Gusto ko din maging librarian, pero hindi yung old-hag librarian. Yung hot librarian ala Time Traveler's wife or si Doctor Fell, Aka Hannibal Lecter. Hindi lang basta taga-catalogue at taga-shhhhh pag may onting ingay, yung nagbibigay din ng mga themed lectures. Sabi ni alexa ang gusto niyang last na profession niya ay teacher. =D
-It would also be nice kung magiging criminal profiler/psychologist ako.
-random thought- mas may personality pa yung couch mo sayo. must remember for future campaigns.
-message for thesis--giving you all my heart was a good start but it turns out you wanted my soul. -from what song to jowee? =D
-if you're asking, you must be interested. (Son of a bitch.)
-ang profound ng panaginip ko- sabi - at that moment i realized, how many saints are made with fire?- to think it was about dinosaurs. weird. really weird.
-Ang daming ipis dito sa bahay pag gabi- siyempre ako lang nakaka-pansin kasi ako lang ang ginagapangan ng mga hinayupak pag nagthe-thesis ako.
-‘Some people never go crazy, what truly horrible lives they must live.’ –some caption on an editorial.
-i'll take what i can get ang dapat title nitong entry na to. from never gonna leave this bed ng maroon 5. pero parang hindi ko na feel.
PS tanginang mga ipis yan BIONIC! Naka-ilang hampas na ko ayaw paring mamatay-matay! Sabuyan ng alcohol. TAE NANGALAHATI yung alcohol. LAGOT kay mama. =( Posted by Andrew on Aug 29, '10 1:03 PM for everyone I realized I wasn't able to blog about Yani's birthday. I miss my original section.
Even the most articulate person in the world would have his vocabulary reduced to 3 words.
Mirroring the beliefs of whoever is in front of us at the moment, aren't we all guilty of this?
Kuya is so sweet, he spilled coffee on the table and the first thing he rescues is Jeje's review shits. I had to tell him about his phone getting wet before he comes to rescue it.
Speaking of Jeje, Birthday niya today -sunday- Mama cooked an upgraded version of her birthday spaghetti. She would usually cook it sweet with giniling and hotdog with loads of cheddar cheese. I dunno why pero maasim at lasang mamahalin yung spaghetti niya ngayon. ewan. masarap naman, pero diba kasi birthday, so dapat birthday spaghetti. feelingera'mp. HAHAHA.
Indiemand week(marketing compet)---- I enjoyed working with potpot and jay. especially with jay. i really did. pero..pero..napagod talaga ako. ahhaha. ewan. ahahaha. towards the end i sat back and watched them do all the work, with minimal inserts here and there. Hanggang sa nakatulog ako. nakakahiya. nakakaguilty. lumampas din kasi kami sa deadline dahil sa mga setbacks.
OVERNIGHT WEEK SUNDAY- potpot's house. Ang layo. (Threesome with Jay. 'Twas fun.)
WED- jowee's. (and her pesto shit. Tinake-advantage nila ang mahimbing kong tulog para mag-kamustahan. Si jowee kasi dume-date na ata. LOL.)
THURS- potpot's sans jay.(straight from doing physically draining VMA with yani and jinkee, tas naligaw pa ko sa pasig. kasi tinanong ko si pot kung anung street name nung dinaanan namin, sixto antonio daw, dr. pilapil pila. kaya yun, ang haba ng nilakbay ko.)
FRIDAY- francine's apartment. Turns out, pwede palang sa bahay namin kami magtrabaho kasi bakante yung kabilang bahay dahil lumipat na yung girl na nakatira.
3 araw lang pala ako natulog sa bahay namin this week. whoa.
Tanginang VMA. Pinilit naming tapusin nila Yani at Jinkee. Tas extended pala yung deadline dahil may sakit daw si manago. the fuck. 1030 na siya nagtext.
I missed tumblr. Posted by Andrew on Aug 21, '10 11:03 PM for everyone Gustong gusto ko talaga pag ginagamit ni maam mortel yung word na 'natin.'as in- pwede 'natin' gawing 2-pronged yung campaign. wala lang. feeling ko partner ko siya or something. pero lagi siyang late. yun lang naman.
'we don't have to be hard on each other' potpot person on the indiemand contest thing. Somehow, that loosened me up (take your mind away the gutter, taina), nakaka-pressure kasi minsan magsalita si jay/juts. hahaha.
why do we always feel the need to impress people with our music. May effect satin pag hindi kilala yung pinapakinggan natin, yun bang exclusive satin yung band/song, or if yung mga taong nakapasa sa qualifications natin yung nakaka-alam nung music natin. Umuwi kasi si achi kaya finilter ko yung playlist ko, binawasan ko yung mga korean song. haha.
Everyone, let's post our thesis playlist, tas upload natin sa mediafire. para fun.
Visual merchandizing is fun. =D Naka flat 1 kami sa counter top, pero yung gondola 1.5 lang kasi di polished. Naisip ko lang na mas dextrous talaga ang kamay ng lalaki sa babae, mas polished mag trabaho, tingnan mo yung woodwork, glassworks, steel sculptures, pati narin sa pag gupit ng buhok, mas magaling ang lalaki. pero bat naman pag-cross stitch at pagtatahe and crafts babae ang mas magaling. No offense sa mga ka-group kong girls.
It's been a while since we did anything together as a family. Achi suggested we eat somewhere extra fancy, birthday din kasi ni jeje soon. I wanted to eat somewhere korean, i said, kasi santorini-ng-santorini sila jay at taina nung isang gabi. so yun. pero si kuya gusto dun sa italian na ewan.
Anyway, we had pasta and pizza, achi had chicken kasi she doesn't eat anything with tomato sauce, ie spaghetti, pizza, burgers, basically everything. It was okay.
Jeje, who looks extra-handsome that night in his white board exam polo-shirt, was a bit uptight at first. And then we started playing with the 'visa-reserved' triangle things na nakapatong sa table. I made him laugh when I arranged it in such a way na mukha siyang upuan ng LRT, pero di niya na-gets. Clinose-open ko pa yung door at pinaupo yung kamay ko sa mga make-shift upuan pero di padin niya gets. Nung sinabi ko lang na paparating na sa legarda station chaka lang siya tumawa ng matagal. as in matagal.
I've done alcohol, cigarrettes, and weeds but my academics is still in shape. It is either subscribing to these things do not automatically ruin one's life or... how well we're doing academically isn't a measure of how well we're living. (Or that we have to take them in transformative dosage before we see effects)
I wonder what other parts of you they lead to. 8D
I'm serious about the thesis playlist. btw. Posted by Andrew on Aug 3, '10 1:32 AM for everyone My day in excruciating detail
-Naghahanap ang STABILO ng mga artist na pwedeng mag-demo ng products nila sa kids. Mga next year pa naman to, Lol, kasi dun palang daw nila i-pro-promote yung coloring products nila--color pencil, markers, warcorl, etc. I-ready na daw yung portfolio para makapili sila ng kukunin. Update ko nalang kayo sa mga kaganapan, kung interesado.
to read the rest of my entry regarding the visit, in painfully excruciating detail, click here.
-A Virtually penniless andrew went to Cubao today to meet my host company Stabilo. These are the days when I wish I were a bit richer. All of Aurora Boulevard was on my skin, my hair, my shirt, my pagkatao; a taxi ride would have been more convenient.
-Good thing was that i was able to finally talk to Ms. Grace. She's the marketing assistant of so and so company, the company who imports and exclusively distributes Stabilo products from Germany. Ms. Grace sounded prettier on the phone than when you actally meet her in person. She has a hint of a mustache and um... a beard, even. The extent of the growth was such that Jowee would orgasm. But she's nice tho!
-AND honest. The left-handed pens, she admits, is not selling well; she said they're too expensive. So she takes every opening/opportunity to persuade me to promote the other cheaper version of the pen instead, kasi yun daw yung ila-lauch nila this year. I mean, if we were casually discussing the weather, she would still find a way to drop a hint. I have to be on-guard all the time.
-One from the higher ups, ms. candy, an empowered few-years-out-of-college hot chick, was just as persuasive. She has bandages on her arm and a cast on her leg. I required myslef to walk at a leisurely place to keep from overtaking her. She has scratches on her arms, too, like she fell out of her boyfriend's motorcycle. Or girlfriend, she sort of has a lesbian slur. She's pretty and bossomy. She looks rich.
-As a compromise, they allowed me to pursue the product of my choice...and said that they could just change the product visual after they have pirated my designs. those hateful bitches...lol
-the interview went well. the voice recorder however, didn't. All I can give Madam Morts for my interview transcript is static. Pero thank you padin taina sa pagpapahiram. lol. this sounds so ingrateful. (note-The recording is playing just fine now)
-Although the office was a mess -it looked like a chinese hardware- everybody there was really nice. when I asked for the hi-res logo and stuff, the tech guy was kind enough to give me even the images he himself traced.
-On the way home, a woman, prolly the wife, sitting on the back ride of the tricycle was fondling the tricycle driver's privates through the fabric of his shorts. I have this ability to recognize potential trauma, so i looked away mechanically.
-It wasn't the first time that happened tho. Isang beses paguwi ko from school, there's this parlor gay guy giving the driver an ultra hand job from inside the trike. We were swerving like mad back then.
-I was this close to riding the train to Santolan, just to see how it l ooks like. Pero wala na kong pera eh. I think i've only been that far once.
-The train was full of FEU students from the FEU lasalle game. However, that didn't stop me from leaving some sort of message on the train, hihihi. I met april's clone on recto station.
-It started raining on my way home so I was forced to make sabit sa jeep. First time. It actually felt liberating. Para ka ring nasa train nakasabit pero mas may chance na mamatay at mabagok ka. All the more reason it's fun.
-Got home and slept. Oo by updarmadown on loop. doing VMA compres. Today was a long day. ayt!
