Culinary Chicks and Wishing Wells

I have 2 new Ideas floating around my mind these past few weeks.

1. I will Marry a beautiful hot Culinary Graduate.
2. Wishing wells are pretty good businesses.

======

1. I will Marry a beautiful hot Culinary Graduate.

I just realized i don't want to marry a doctor anymore. They're always not at home, and there's a high chance that they're smarter than I am. damn. I dont want to marry a Lawyer either, they Lie. 'nough said. A few months ago I saw Angelica Panganiban graduate in a culinary school, and the idea dawned on me: wow, i want to marry her, or someone like her. Imagine, i dont have to worry about what food to serve when i throw a party (no more microwaved popcorns! or expensive Pizza deliveries, or "alak nalang pare?") May asawa na nga, may tagaluto pa. I'll get to eat foods that i-dont-know-what-they-call-it-but-i'll-eat-it, bawat ulam may pangalan ng food sa baba na french na di ko rin naman maiintindihan. tapos ultimong tubig lalagyan niya ng kung anu-anong trip... hahaluan niya ng mint, apple, orange, chocolate, tapos Zero calories. wag lang niya akong lasunin, ok na yun.

Tapos, if ever we'll fight, she'll just bribe me with a sumptuous meal, preferrably italian, with loads of cheese, and BEER! and that will draw a smile on me, and we'll be ok na. But if im the one who has to do something for her... well... uhmm.. maybe ill hust sedate her? give morphine? make her drunk? haha.

Damn. it excites me. I want to marry a culinary expert. (Kia, hindi ikaw, pero malay mo may classmates kang hot? :D.),

but then again, love chooses nobody, no profession, whatever kind of person. when love strikes, standards and expecations are most of the time thrown out of the window. love is love. if i end up with a culinary chic, that's great. if not, that's ok, i'll just send my daughter to culinary school. yebbah.

2. Wishing wells are pretty good businesses.

Malupit na negosyo to. Ilang hollow blocks lang at isang bubong na may shingles, ok na. Yung lalim ng balon, kahit 3 feet lang, di naman nila makikitang 3 feet lang yun dahil bubudburan ko ng lumot ang surface para magmukhang malalim. Hindi na rin ako mag-aabalang i-maintain ito, the dirtier, the damn better. Mas mukhang luma, mas ayos, kasi mas mukhang ancient at mas mukhang may wisdom at mas mukhang magical ang balon. Pag nagkatotoo yung wish ng mga tao habang naghulog sila ng mga barya, edi ayus. pag hindi nagkakatotoo, di naman nila masisisi ang isang inosentang balon diba?

Mahilig ang tao sa placebo. sa false hopes. sa supernatural. Panahon na para pagkakitaan ang paniniwalang ito. Kung ang simbahan nga napaniwalang may epekto ang pagtirik ng kandila sa kaluluwa mong mababawasan ang kasalanun kuno, wishing well pa kaya? Di hamak na mas mura yun sa kandila. At least yun kahit ano pwede mong i-wish. Yung kandila sa simbahan, karamihan daw dun napupunta daw sa mga tao sa purgatoryo, kumbaga yung effect ng wish hindi 100% para sa iyo.

Every month, kokolektahin ko ang mga laman ng balon. Pag may nagquestion kung nasan ang mga barya, sasabihin ko, "kinuha ng fairy para iaanalyze ang mga wishes niyo." Mas madaming barya, syempre, mas malaki ang chance na matupad ang wish mo, pwede rin namang maghulog ng perang papel, ipapatuyo ko pa naman eh. wag lang credit card. wag na rin cheque.

Pag nagimprove na ang negosyo, magbubukas ako ng branch. Yung una, ilalagay ko sa UST Med, sa Gitna, dun sa may swamp na may turtle. Yung next branch naman, sa faculty of Civil law, tapos, sa Main Building naman, tapos, icoconvert ko yung fountain of Wisdom and Knowledge sa tabi ng arch of the centuries into big ass money-making wishing wells. yung parang sa mga SM Malls, yung maghuhulog ng barya sa gilid, tapos iikot ikoy yung barya na parang gagawa ng buhawi sa fountain, tapos magssquirt ng tubig pagdating sa gitna at may message: "your wish is being processed. add Php 5 Pesos to bypass the processing time. If you're wishing for love, add 10 pesos, for Grades, add 15 Pesos, for Money, add 20 Pesos. Then close your eyes while making bunot to your wallet and Let God pick the best bill you will offer."

whatever.

but, seriously, I can't believe people actually drops coins on wells... maybe it's the placebo effect. the false hope. the expectations. 'the secret'... well, if you actually believed it will happen, then, maybe it will? maybe they built wishing wells to fuel false hopes and eventually make it come true?

Interesting.

14 Christmas Wishes Version 1

ito yung materialistic wish list ko. Pero hindi ibig sabihin ay joke to At Pero di rin ibig sabihin na ayaw ko rin matanggap tong mga to. Haha. Kung magkatotoo to, why not diba?

1. Wag na tayong maglokohan: gusto ko ng maraming maraming pera, yung tipong helicopter na ang maghahatid sakin sa school para di na ako malate tapos may red carpet sa field para magpark ang helicopter ko.

yung tipong sa lahat ng lugar na pupuntahan ko, may confetti ng Pesos. Dollars, at Euro. ayoko ng Yen kasi konti lang halaga nun.Basta pera. walang hanggang kayamanan.

Well, unfair naman. Kasi pag nagrant na yung first wish ko, ok na ako sa mga makamundong pagnanasa ko. Pero pag nakuha ko na ang #1 ko, eto ang mga bibilhihin ko.

2. Gusto ko ng Malaking malaking TV yung halos lumabas na yung artista sa TV sa sobrang laki niya. ilalagay to sa kwarto ko, para quality porn este movies ang pinapanood ko kesa sa sala ako nanonood, nakakatakot pa kasi madilim at freaky yung hagdanan.

3. Bibili ako ng grades. Oo, tama ang nabasa niyo. Wish kong maging ganon ako kayaman na tipong binabayaran ko na ang mga prof para di na ako makapagremedials. O kaya babayaran ko si Nelloe o si Keith o si MJ o si Bryan Ilagan para magpretend na sila si Karl Edejer tapos ako sila para lang magexam para sa akin. Tapos pag mababa ang nagawa kong exams para sa kanila bilang sila, babayaran ko uli sila para di sila magalit.

4. Papaluhurin ko sa putikan ang mga taong nanggugulang at nangungupal sa Pamilya namin. Mari-mar style. May pera sa putikan, tapos ipapakuha ko gamit ang kanilang mga bibig, at sabay sasabihin ko, "Luhod mga dukha!" sabay inom ng isang mamahaling alak habang minamasahe ng mga hot chicks

5. Bibili ako ng bahay. Yung simple lang sa labas, pero pagpasok sa loob magugulat ka nalang kasi mas malaki pa pala siya sa Hogwarts at mas magical pa. May theme song ng HarryPotter na tutugtog pag pasok para feeling mo napakamagical ng bahay ko, tapos meron akong servants na house elves na sasalubong sayo. May fountain sa gitna at waterfalls, wala kong pakelam kung pano nila gagawin, May library. May starbucks, May Jolibee. May Pizza Hut. May Basketball Court, Boxing court, Tennis Court kahit di ako marunong mag tennis, at may trampoline.

6. ipapaabolish ko ang Department of ________  ________. Pero bibigyan ko naman sila ng retirement plan -- sila ang magiging tauhan ng Golf Course ko. Bagay na bagay. Tapos ang gagawin kong chief of staff nila ay yung Secretery nila ngayon para makapaghiganti na siya sa kanilang lahat. "Pringles, go, run, and get the golf ball underwater. After that ipagtimpla moko ng kape!"

7. Manonood ako ng concerts ng kung sino mang foreign singer or sino man. Kilala ko man o hindi. Dashboard Confessionals o Bocceli man. Dun ako sa pinakaharap at karubbing elbows ko yung mga kapwa kong sikat at mayaman at yung mga kaibigan nilang nakikinabang sa free tickets nila.

8. Trip around the world with my Family and Manang. Pero haggang Airport lang daw si Manang kasi di naman daw niya maaapreciate yung Europe at Brazil at Japan. Ano bang pakialam daw niya sa Stonehenge at Eiffel Tower diba? Maaapreciate daw ba niya ang Louvre e di naman daw siya nakakabasa? Anyways, 2 months kaming iikot sa mundo. matutuwa na ang mga Med Reps ni Daddy niyan kasi ako na ang gagastos ng gastos namin pag mag-oout of town at hindi na sila. Pupunta kami sa Amsterdam at bibili ako ng isang magandang babae na ididisplay ko lang sa aming sala. "Karl went to Amsterdam and all he brought back is me"

Pupunta kaming Antarctica at manonood ang Aurora Borealis katabi ang mga penguins na sumasayaw at kumakanta. Mala Happy Feet at Good Luck chuck combined.

9. Magpapagawa ako ng mega highway na ako at mga friends ko lang ang pwedeng dumaan. Well, pwedeng dumaan yung iba pero magbabayad sila.  Mula dito sa Frisco hanggang sa Beachouse namin sa Zambales. Walang speed limit sa Highway na yun at maraming food stops along the way. Glow in the dark ang pintura. At walang pokpok na nagaabang sa kalsada tuwing madaling araw. Pwede nang pumunta sa Beachouse ang friends ko every week dahil magiging mabilis nang maglakbay papunta dito.

10. Gagawa ako ng underground secret passage mula bahay hanggang UST. Pero kailangan ayusin muna ng UST and baha situation nila kasi magmumumkhang kanal lang yung underground passage ko kung nagkataon. Yuck.

11. Malupet na laptop sa bawat miyembro sa apat kong apelyido: Edejer, Misa, Hebron, at Ebilane Family. Dapat lahat meron, kahit yung mga matatanda na... kahit di nila alam gamitin... at pati mga babies dapat meron. Wi-fi ready. yung pwedeng mag Red Alert 3, Starcraft 2, DoTA, at Sally's Spa Pero nakakatawa lang yun pag reunion dahil para na kaming nasa computer shop niyan dahil lahat nga nakalaptop. Dapat may warranty pala. Magmumukhang repair station ang bahay ko nyan dahil sakin sila pupunta pag nasira. wag sa akin. dun sa warranty station. Anong alam ko diyan.

12. Ipapakulong ko yung Houseboy namin nung bata pa ako. Edgar Egnisaban ang pangalan niya. Nung bata kasi ako, pinapalo niya ako. Houseboy lang siya at pinapalo niya ako? Ang kapal ng mukha niya. E ako namang si tanga, akala ko tama lang yun kasi pinapalo naman ako ng magulang ko kaya normal lang din paluin ako ng katulong namin. Akala ko alam ng magulang ko na ginagawa niya yun samin, akala ko binigyan siya ng kapangyarihan ng magulang ko na paluin at sigawan kami. Narealize ko lang na child abuse pala yung ginawa niya nung bandang college na ako. Ipapakulong ko siya, at gugulpihin siya ng mga brods sa kulungan.

13. Babaguhin ko ang UST Med. Ipapaabolish ko and Revalida, bababaan ko ang tuition, pwede nang isummer classes and mga semestral subjects na binabagsak, wala na ang 15-unit rule para sa mga irregs, at dapat Patho lang and di pwede kunin ng mga bumagsak ng Physio, Surgery lang dapat ang di pwede para sa Anatomy, Microbio sa Biochem, at Neuro 2 para sa mga Neuro 1 ang binagsak. Yun lang. Lahat makakapag Pharma, at yung Pharma dapat 60% ng grade ay Practical Exams na sing dali ng NeuroAna prax. Ipaparenovate ko pala ang mga aircon at Neuroanatomy at Histology lab. Ipapaexpand ko ang campus. At maraming kainan. At di dapat mabaho ang canteen. Benches sa bawat corridor. Samplex section sa Library.

<edit> ang #13 ang pinakamatagal kong inisip na wish. mahaba dapat ito pero baka magspark nanaman ng kung ano anong feelings sa ibang tao. harhar. </edit>

14. Babayaran ko ang mga utang ng Pilipinas. pero dapat yung 10 Billion manggagaling kay Gloria Arroyo.1 Billion sa bawat senador, 100 Million ang babayaran ng bawat Congressman except lang sa mga kamag-anak namin sa congress, exempted sila. 10 Million sa mga Mayor at 10 Million from Manny Pacquiao. Kung magagawa nila yun, sige abonohan ko na yung iba. Malaki pa ang natira, pero as if namang magbabayad ang mga politicians na ganun diba?



sarap mangarap. pero kung mangyari nga ito, sino ba ako para tumanggi? hehe

wow. had fun doing this.

Bob Ong Quotes: Totoo ba?

nabasa ko naman na lahat ng books ni Bob Ong, pero di ko masyado maalala ang mga quotes na umiikot sa text. Siguro nung una naaalala ko pa na nakasulat yung mga yun, pero yung iba, parang totally di ko talaga maalala? i mean, nung narereceive ko sa text yung mga quotes, "ayus to ah, and ganda", pero, kung ganun kaganda yun, bat di ko maalala nung binabasa ko to? haha

hindi kaya nagtetext si Bob Ong sa friends nya tapos sa huli, "please pass?"

or inassume lang siguro ng mga tao na porke may humor, tagalog, at mejo malalim, at astig, Bob Ong na?

or merong isang Pseudo-Bob Ong na gumagawa ng quotes tas sabi nya from Bob Ong?

actually, tinry ko dati yun, gumawa ng quote...

eto sinabi ko:

"Ang daming quotes na umiikot na galing sakin, di naman talaga galing sakin"

-Bob Ong
