quota quotes

men are weird. either they talk too much or they don't talk at all. but when you're having a conversation and they do talk, they suddenly try to change the subject.

the worst thing that can happen to you in a relationship is to fall into second place.

we can never be what we think we are unless people see us as we see ourselves. which almost never happens.

it is a crazy world. but the people are even crazier. and they themselves don't have the slightest idea.

PERO.

alam mo, kung gusto mo talaga marinig ng ibang tao ang music nyo, gagawin nyo kahit ano para magawa yun

yun na nga, yung mga pagpasa ng mga kanta nyo sa kung saan saan

hindi mo naman malalaman yung mga ganyan kung hindi mo maeexperience e

PERO. hindi mo rin maikakalat yung music nyo kung hindi kayo magrrisk

is it not? :)

-sinabi ko lang sa kabanda ko dati. nag-uusap kame. ayun. gusto ko lang i-post.

my must see movies (sa ngayon)

just click the images for the trailers.

Ganito na ba tayo? wag naman sana.

Gising, Tol.

Tumatanda ka na, tol.

Nasa Friday Magic Madness na yung mga paborito mong kanta.
Nakaka-relate ka na sa Classic MTV. Lesbiana na yung kinaaaliwan mong
child star dati. Nanay na lagi ang role ng crush na crush mong matinee
idol noon.

Dati, pag may panot, sisigaw ka agad ng "PENDONG!". Ngayon, pag may
sumisigaw nun, ikaw na yung napapraning. Parang botika na ang cabinet
mo. May multivitamins, vitamin E, vitamin C, royal jelly, tsaka ginko
biloba.

Dati, laging may inuman. Sa inuman, may lech on, sisig, kaldereta,
inihaw na liempo, pusit, at kung anu-ano pa. Ngayon, nagkukumpulan na
lang kayo ng mga kasama mo sa Starbucks at oorder ng tea.

Wala na ang mga kaibigan mo noon.

Ang dating masasayang tawanan ng barkada sa canteen, napalitan na ng
walang katapusang pagrereklamo tungkol sa kumpanya ninyo. Wala na ang
best friend mo na lagi mong pinupuntahan kapag may problema ka. Ang
lagi mo na lang kausap ngayon e ang kaopisina mong hindi ka sigurado
kung binebenta ka sa iba pag nakatalikod ka. Ang hirap nang magtiwala.

Mahirap nang makahanap ng totoong kaibigan. Hindi mo kayang
pagkatiwalaan ang kasama mo araw-araw sa opisina. Kung sabagay,
nagkakilala lang kayo dahil gusto ninyong kumita ng pera at umakyat sa
tinatawag nilang "corporate ladder". Anumang pagkakaibigang umusbong
galing sa pera at ambisyon ay hindi talaga totoong pagkakaibigan. Pera
din at ambisyon ang sisira sa inyong dalawa.

Pera. Pera na ang nagpapatakbo ng buhay mo.

Alipin ka na ng Meralco, PLDT, SkyCable, Globe, Smart, at Sun. Alipin
ka ng Midnight Madness. Alipin ka ng tollgate sa expressway. Alipin ka
ng credit card mo. Alipin ka ng ATM. Alipin ka ng BIR.

Dati-rati masaya ka na sa isang platong instant pancit canton. Ngayon,
dapat may kasamang italian chicken ang fettucine alfredo mo. Masaya ka
na noon pag nakakapag-ober-da-bakod kayo para makapagswimming. Ngayon,
ayaw mong lumangoy kung hindi Boracay o Puerto Galera ang lugar. Dati,
sulit na sulit na sa yo ang gin pomelo. Ngayon, pagkatapos ng ilang
bote ng red wine, maghahanap ka ng San Mig Light o Vodka Cruiser.

Wala ka nang magawa. Sumasabay ang lifestyle mo sa income mo.
Nagtataka ka kung bakit hindi ka pa rin nakakaipon kahit tumataas ang
sweldo mo. Yung mga bagay na gusto mong bilhin dati na sinasabi mong
hindi mo kailangan, abot-kamay mo na. Pero kahit nasa iyo na ang mga
gusto mong bilhin, hindi ka pa rin makuntento.

Saan ka ba papunta?

Tol, gumising ka. Hindi ka nabuhay sa mundong ito para maging isa lang
sa mga baterya ng mga machines sa Matrix. Hanapin mo ang dahilan kung
bakit nilagay ka rito. Kung ang buhay mo ngayon ay uulit-ulit lang
hanggang maging singkwenta anyos ka na, magsisisi ka. Lumingon ka kung
paano ka nagsimula, isipin ang mga tao at mga bagay na nagpasaya sa
yo. Balikan mo sila.

Ikaw ang nagbago, hindi ang mundo.

welcome to **** city

habang nagbbyahe sa kahabaan ng slex, may makikita kang lugar na kung saan may gagawing subdivision o business district (alin man dun). bandang kanan kung manggagaling ka sa maynila. nakakatawa kase imbis na matuwa ako dahil sa pag-unlad ng lugar na 'yon e mas nakakalungkot kase ang dating malaking lupain na tinutubuan ng mga halaman at puno ay nagmistulang espasyo na lang ng lupa na kulay brown. swerte ka na kung makakakita ka man ng isang puno. iniisip ko, ano kaya ang nasa isip ng mga tao nung hinuhukay nila yung lupa at pinapatay yung mga puno at halaman habang pinapatag nila muli ito para pagtayuan ng malalaking gusali. nalulungkot kaya sila habang ginagawa nila yun o wala silang pakialam at ang iniisip lang nila ay yung pera na matatanggap nila sa pagtatapos ng kanilang trabaho? para sakin, kung ganon ang itsura ng sinasabi nilang industriyalisasyon, e mas mabuti pang wag na lang.

hindi ko na pahahabain 'to. naisip ko lang bigla kase nakakalungkot makita 'yon kase dati ay mga palayan, ngayon parang bundok na mininahan at iniwanan kase wala nang makuha. oo sige, isang batayan na umuunlad ang isang lugar. pero sana hindi dumating yung araw na imbis na mga puno e mga poste na lang ng kuryente ang dinadapuan ng mga ibon.

Lyrics to "Everybody is free to wear sunscreen"

by Baz Luhrman

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '97,

Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term
benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis or
reliable then my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice....now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, nevermind, you won't understand the power and
beauty of your youth until they've faded, but trust me in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of
yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous
you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future, or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra
equation by chewing bubblegum.

The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind: the kind that blindsides
you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts; don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is
long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive; forget the insults. (if you succeed in doing this, tell me how).

Keep your old love letters; throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people
I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives; some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of Calcium. Be kind to your knees -- you'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll
divorce at 40; maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.

Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself, either. Your choices are half
chance, so are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body: use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it; it's the
greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance...even if you have no where to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions (even if you don't follow them).

Do not read beauty magazines; they will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents; you never know when they'll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings: they're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in
the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but what a precious few should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps
and geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you
were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.

Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old; and when you
do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children
respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse,
but you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you are 40, it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia;
dispensing it is a way of wishing the past from the disposal--wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts, and
recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me, I'm the sunscreen.
