I'd like to start off this week by saying that for the first time in my life, I finally became...a godparent. Last Saturday, I attended my friend's daughter's baptism at a local Church somewhere near their house. Actually I came in late, but it's a good thing they put my name on it and now, I'm officially a godparent. Now a lot of people may find this an ordinary thing. I mean, it's just part of tradition. But for me, it's more than that. It really means a lot to me that I finally became a godparent because it opens an opportunity for me to give my niece something that I never get to experience all these years. My godparents are either inactive or gone. Lord knows where they went. So I went there like I said. I didn't even expect that this place I was going to was so far it cost me the rest of my allowance just to get there. When I got there, the whole ceremony was so fucking over, but my friend told me he listed my name and all that shit and so, that gave me a relief. We just went to their place along with my other friends. We celebrated for a couple of hours. It was good, but it could've been better if there were booze flowing all over the place.
Now for some reason, I've been irritated lately by this urban language invented by Snoop or whoever. Let's see some of the facts, shall we?space
izzle
- Language invented by Snoop Dog, used to utterly confuse everybody who isn't an urban black rapper.
- A suffix added to the end of the last syllable of a word, originated by Snoop Dogg as a method to make words rhyme.spaceExample:
White person: So how are you doing today, black friend?Black urbanite: OH, I'm fo schizzle my doggy bizzle... I hooked up with some hizzles and got some 40 ouncizzles and I'm going to fizzle those hizzles in their tight little vagizzles! spaceSeriously, this is making me sick. Everytime I hear a cunt say this, it irritates me. Why can't they stick to basics and say the usual shit they say and make a rhyme out of it instead of this slang trash? The sad part about this is that a lot of kids today who sink their teeth in this genre adopt this language and as a result, fail their basic English just because saying it would make them cool or whatever (Since when did I give a shite about this?). spaceNow if for some reason, you stumble upon this and you happen to like adopting the izzle thing to your language of life, then a piece of advice? Fizzle your fashizzle or shoot yourself in the head, you brainless cunt.
There are nights when I feel so shitty about myself. Last night, I couldn't sleep once again because of this and so I figured the best way to solve it is to divert my attention to others. Every once in a while, I like to escape into other people's lives and help them out in the way I can. This may sound incredibly pathetic but, I believe it's what I do best.
To get rid of the blues I'd been getting this past couple of days, I decided to download more music to my phone. I crave for jazz-house music and so, I went to Epitonic and worked it all the way when all of a sudden my phone breaked down on me again. Now, everything I put there were all gone and I had to start from scratch. This is bullshit. I'll have to go back at Tita's place next week and get my fix as soon as possible.

Reggie MillersAfter 18 years of playing with the Indiana Pacers, Reggie Miller finally called it quits. Throughout his career, Reggie Miller has been known to have been one of the most dangerous clutch players on the court. His relentless pursuit to win has driven the Pacers to the Playoffs on numerous occasions. It is only unfortunate that they never won a title. spaceBut for what it's worth, Reggie has established himself already as one the best players around in the NBA. His unbelievable clutch performances, his amazing plays and his determination will never be forgotten. Rip (Hamilton) was right. Everybody should be thanking Reggie Miller. spaceReggie, thanks for the memories.
spaceWe came over to our aunt's place. I figure I'd go there just to get away from the net and visit my relatives for a change. It's been a long time since.
My aunt decided to tell us something about this young boy she knew who had a bad run-in with the NBI (National Bureau of Investigation). This kid, probably about 20 or 21, went out to meet a friend one night. Unbeknownst to him, his friend was already kept under surveillance by these sneaky pigs and had to wait for the right time to nail his ass for carrying drugs and shit or whatever. When they busted them, the boy wanted to use his phone to call his parents, but these fuckshoes won't let him. They only had to give him the call after his mother called the third time. When his mother came for the big-ass bail money, the pigs let him out, all black and blue and gave her all his personal stuff - all, except for his phone. They told them it's useless for someone like him to have it. I mean, what the fuck?

What the fuck is going on with our society today? I know I should've asked this question a long time ago, but the story of this innocent kid, victim of another modus operandi perpetuated by these local authorities infuriates me. These cunts should take care of the real trash out there - the murderers, common thugs, random punks, corrupt politicians, or even themselves. This is the very poison that will continue to debilitate this nation. I could only hope that one day, someone will wipe these cunts for good. And if that happens, I'd be laughing my ass off...even though I know it's gonna be a fucking longshot.
It's such an amazing day today, I dunno. God finally decided to turn the heater off and gave me a real taste of fresh air. I looked around and for some strange reason, I started to feel like this whole place was a Monet painting or something. It's amazing. I never felt anything this good on a day like this. I don't even want to think that it had something to do with the results of my...thesis defense or with the way I had fun with my friends today, or even the fact that I'm falling in love all over again. It's different. The whole afternoon was just...something to be amazed at.spaceLes Saules by Claude Monet
I don't know what's in everyone's mind and all of a sudden they've been asking me why am I so preoccupied with shit and I can't get a girl. It's the question that pisses me off. My friends ask it. My relatives ask it. Hell, even acquaintances ask me about it. So what the fuck is wrong with these people?!
When I think twice about it, haha. I find myself to be a hypocrite, asking what the fuck is wrong with me instead.
But even though this shit happens, I still like to stand on my ground and say that there is always time for everything. I said this once, and I'll say it again. Relationship is the very thing that will consume myself. It'll eat away my time, my money and even my whole self. Truth be told, this is the only reason I'm clinging myself on to right now. Whenever I see my friends' girlfriends, I can't help but be envy, but at the same time, it makes me even more stronger on all aspects because it drives me to become the uber human that I oughtta be...
Fuck what other people think of me. I'm sticking to my guts. That's my play...for now.
Yesterday, my friends forced me to go to Gateway mall after class. I've always had bad luck with that place. I don't know why, plus the fact that it was Friday the 13th made it even more impossible for them to convince me to go there. So my friends gave me an offer I can't refuse. I don't even have to pay for anything because of one of pals was treating us out for dinner, and everything else. Since I'm not made of wood, I gave in.
When we went there, everything turned out to be different. It was weird. I wasn't feeling so bad about that goddamn place anymore. I just go with the flow and the next thing I knew I was having a great time with my friends already. We played pool for hours, and then we got treated by one of our pals who just got a job at DAR (Dept. of Agrarian Reform). It was great, but at the same time, it's ironic. I considered that a bad luck place for me, but on the 13th of Friday, nothing went wrong...
After all that, my buddies and I spent the whole night watching old flicks at our house. Three movies later, the whole place was a disaster area. The room was starting to stink and everything was in a total mess. Coffee cups, shirts and underwear were scattered. It was 5 in the morning, everyone dozed off already. Some even barged in my room and slept there for a couple of hours. I got so fucking pissed I gave the bastards a wake-up call, turned them all to slaves and had them fixed the whole place before they stormed off.
I just hate it when they abuse my hospitality. I've had it up to here. They did that 3 times already.
Today, we lost another great actor yet again...
Romy Diaz, one of my favorite character actors and screen villain, passed away today after falling into a one-week coma at the National Kidney Institute. He was 64. His daughter said it all started out when he choked on a piece of meat.
Yes, he will be missed.
Okay. So after classes, I had a sudden urge to download more music to my phone. I'm getting good at this. I even found a perfect site to search the music I've been missing for the last 4-5 years...So with that said, I came up with this tracks to check the shit that's been bugging me this week:Leave Me Now - Matthew HerbertReceiver - Wagon ChristPerkission - Wagon ChristSomething Wicked - The HerbaliserStroker's Ace - LovageDisavowed - DJ ShadowUndress Me Now - MorcheebaSanta Maria - Gotan ProjectShadow's Legitimate Mix - Zimbabwe LegitCall of the Wild - Gus Gus
Now for some reason, I decided to bring this journal back alive. I'm craving for something fresh, something new. Besides, I just like the idea that I can do a more a lot here than in livejournal, although I hate to compare the both of them.
I know it sounds impractical in many ways, but I just find it comfortable to have both because it gives me the freedom to escape and express myself in a different way. Complicating? I know. But that is something only I will ever understand. I'll just keep in mind that to deny our impulses, is to deny the very thing that makes us human...matrix shit. pffff...
