Belle De Jeur for Boys

ano bang meron sa Belle De Jeur? At tama ba spelling ko sa belle de jeur?

Just yesterday, I got a glimpse of that planner from my friend. Well, it's colorful, uhmm... well, it's really for girls. merong parang "Big rocks for the week", blablala... long term goals, short term goals, then Discount Coupons for God-knows-what parlor, shop, etc... actually I got scared... Ganto ba tlga dapat ang mundo ng mga babae? Hahaha

Then I couldnt help but wonder... Meron bang Belle De Jeur version ng guys?What if magimbento ako ng planner specifically designed for the Y chromosome? Kung may pera ako, ito ang mga plano kong gawin sa Ultimate Planner for Boys:

-And Monday to Friday ay pagkakasyahin ko lang sa isang page dahil school lang siya. Yung Sabado at Linggo tig-isang page para sa mga lakad barkada, lakad pamilya, at lakad bastos.

-Kung sa BDJ merong "goal for the month", ang akin naman, "girl for the month" kung sinong girlet ang popormahan mo sa month na yun. May gayuma formula pa every month

-Wala akong ilalagay ng Birthday calendar, wala naman paki ang karamihan ng lalaki dun. Juskopo, may nakita pa akong planner (hindi BDJ), andun yung gma birthdays ni Sharon Cuneta, Sarah Geronimo, Mark Herras... the hell we care diba?

-Sa BDJ merong quotes sa upper right. Meron din quotes for guys, ilan lamang ito sa mga halimbawa:

"Sex is sacred, and so am I"
"I am the best there is, the best there was, the best that will ever be"
"In this world, only the strong survive"
"Kung asawa nasusulot, Girlfriend pa kaya?"

- At ang pinakamalupet sa lahat: DISCOUNT COUPONS sa mga sumusunod na producto at shops:

Free Ladies' Drink sa Pegasus
20% Discount FHM Magzine
Free Session sa Fitness First
Libreng Iced Tea sa Dad's Buffet (pang tatay tlga diba?)
Free Glow in the DarkTrust Condoms
SOGO Hotel Free Massage
Playboy Magazine Poster
Seat-in Studio Audience sa Banana Split
One Night with a 26K Deal or No Deal chick
50% Discount on your 2nd Scandal DVD in Quiapo
30% Discount sa Roses sa Dangwa for your Girfriend
20% Discount sa Roses sa Dangwa for your Kabit
Free HIV Screening sa UST Hospital

astig diba? ano kaya magandang pangalan? meron bang lalaking pinaplano ng ganito kahusto ang buhay? well, ako merong planner pero "Catleya Filler" ang nakasulat sa harap at puro Exam sa Micro at Physio etc lang ang nakasulat. haha.

Hangover from the 14-Day isolation

It's a New Year and God knows why i still fit in my jeans, why my fingers are still complete, and why i can't still get the strength to fix my room, read Jawetz Micro,and make an MTAP script. Maybe after I fixed the laptop, maybe after i blog this, maybe after Zeth's Baptism, after... waaa... After vacation?

I haven't seen Manila in 14 Days. Missed quite a lot of parties, and a Wake, Xmas break's been a pretty good break even though I ravaged my Liver and Kidneys with Alcohol and Goddamn Fatty Foods, I still did it with a lot of friends and families -- so it made the Health Risks kind of worth it... i guess? hahaha. By the 26th I felt my Liver twitch and a slight pain in my right Kidney (or is it just muscular pain because Abdominal Organs have no pain receptors?) (pucha, tama ba?), maybe they just radiate their pains into their respective dermatomes... I even reached the point where i searched wikipedia for the dermatome level for referred pain for Lungs, Liver, Gall Bladder, Heart and Kidneys -- I became paranoid that a pain in my left dorsal arm is a referred pain for soemthing that's wrong inside, but thankfully wala namang organs na wired sa left arm... daw. I don't know. Hopefully wala tlga.

Anyways, I've been itching to blog during the break but I can't do it. It's hard for me to go Emo on a computer shop while everybody else in there is playing DoTA. I was supposed to blog while I was at the Morana house, but merong epal na nakikinood sa mga tinatype ko e (epal ka PASAK!) ayoko naman yun. So I kept the itch just within me, and wrote the blogs on my mind before i pour it out on the keyboard. Up to tis point, theyre still staying at my Temporal Lobe and just going back and forth my Limbic System until maybe later I still squeezing them out one by one. As of now, Five topics keep on floating that I'm about to blog sometime soon...

1. The Year-End Sunset and the Gratitude Blog
2. My Dream about my Lola
3. the Almost-Pancreatitis on Xmas Night and the Scariest Nightmare I Never talked about to anyone (only to my Siblings)
4. The Incoming Year Blog
5. How I moved on (it's on the verge of cancellation. I don't think I can make this one, though. I'm reducing my Rant and Emo and Bitter blogs na... Though I admit i write better when I'm sad and sober. haha)

and by the way... I still have to upload tons of pics.

Anyways. I'm just glad I'm back in Manila. Happy New Year Everyone!

BTW. Whenever I read Dazers posting about their Hangover in the last batch, It beams a great smile on me. :) And it's pretty weird because I really can't find the words to express that feeling we feel that High. haha.

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.
