Laughable Laughs – Vice Ganda
Vlog Attempt
Yes. I attempted to make a video blog a while ago. When I watched it, the sound was scary/creepy. PLUS there’s another problem. I can’t upload it here because I need to upgrade my account. BOO!
So… no vlog today. 
Anyway, my friend and I went to Quiapo today. We went to Hidalgo and as usual, I wanted to buy everything there. I asked one lady for the nicest SLR for a beginner like me (or shall I say, frustrated photographer like me). She suggested Nikon’s D3100. I checked for reviews in Youtube and they say it’s a great entry level camera. Because of this, I vow to save for that DSLR.
I feel lost these past few days. I can’t concentrate. I haven’t started studying for Math. I can’t think clearly. My grammar sucks. I don’t know what’s happening with me. Worst is, I feel apathetic. I hate it because I seem not to care. I don’t feel anything sometimes. I feel confused. I feel like I’m on drugs. 
Don’t worry guys, I don’t do drugs. And I never will.
I made blowout (Forgive me I don’t now how to phrase this properly) my friends tonight. I’m turning 18! I’m always excited for my birthday, yet nothing special ever happened for the past [almost] 18 years of my life, except maybe for those birthday parties when I was still a child which I cannot remember today. I want to view the 18th commemoration of my birth into this world as a responsibility and not as a freedom to do anything I want.
(On a side note: look at my sentences! They suck.)
Anyway, I hope you guys will have a nice Sunday tomorrow. Go to Church and talk to God!
It’s Friday Tomorrow!
And because of that… Friday, Friday, Friday! Rebecca Black is soooo awesome! hahahahahahaha She can make herself the biggest joke overnight! Can you beat that Charlie Sheen?
And here’s the literary analysis: http://thestorykeepsonrolling.tumblr.com/post/3867979660. Whoever made this is a genius!
Enjoy!
Quickbite
03/17/2011
I’m finally done with the term paper for ES!
I’m afraid of an earthquake near the Marikina fault.
I’m missing my friends. I don’t know if they miss me too.
I’m planning to treat my friends this Saturday. Pre-birthday blowout surprise!
I’m starting to like Glee again. New Directions won! I liked their original compositions especially the Warbler’s and New Directions’ second songs.
Watched three episodes of Modern Family. Still hilarious. Never fails to make me laugh.
My back hurts already.
My eyes are so tired I can type a whole sentence with them closed.
That’s it! That’s all for today’s Quickbite.
Reflection 002 – Keep Breathing
Today, we discussed Theater of the Absurd in our Lit class. Absurd plays basically pose the question, “What is my place in this conflicted world?” Then I remembered the song Keep Breathing by Ingrid Michaelson. It basically encompasses the existentialist idea of the Theater of the Absurd. Let me lift some lines from the song:
The storm is coming but i don’t mind.
People are dying, i close my blinds.
All that i know is i’m breathing now.
I want to change the world…instead i sleep.
Do we really have a place in this world where almost everything is chaotic, where hunger is as normal as breathing, where bombing a country is as easy as blinking? In the middle of all these, what is our part? Do we want to change the world? Or do we choose to just sleep?
Or should the question be, can we really change the world?
Imagine yourself to be in the middle of the ocean. A storm is coming. Storms in that ocean have always been blowing south. Changing the world is like changing the direction of that massive storm. Can you do that? 2000 years ago, someone did. And he was man like you.
Can we really change the world? Yes.
Refection 001 – Falling or Flying
I think I’m falling again. Falling into freedom’s deceitful depths. Now that finals are so near, I’ve been thinking about a lot of things. Am I falling or flying? Or should the question be do I choose to fall or to fly? Flying is every man’s dream. Yet it takes a lot of perseverance and will power. Falling is much easier. Just let gravity take you down. But the sky is a blissful place, unlike hell where everything we want is there but cannot satisfy our souls’ deepest desires. Do I choose to fly and get bruised and beaten? Or do I choose to just fall and let freedom’s deceitful depths eat me alive?
When Everything is Chaotic
These days, I have been struggling in so many things. The new environment is scary. New faces appear each second. The welcoming smiles in my hometown are gone. I am constantly afraid. Living this life is just scary. I am like in a jungle where no one can tame me. Freedom. Fear. Simply terrifying.
Lord God, You are my only Savior. Please rescue me.
It has been a long while
Indeed. It has been a long break. Many many things happened in the past few days.
1. Ugly Betty is over. Super sad face. The ending was good. I did not love it as much as the previous episode but the fact that there would be no “next season” makes me super sad. I even made a theory that another season would be possible because the brooding love story of Daniel and Betty has not been concluded. We were simply given a glimpse of “what could happen”. They left us hanging in midair. I was expecting Daniel to tell Betty that he loves her, but it just never came. Ugh.. So, it is really possible to have a sequel to the Ugly Betty Series because there was a “cliff-hanger” if you consider it one. My sister tells me I’m just in the Denial Stage. I don’t know. Maybe I am. Maybe I’m not. Bring back Betty please!!! Before I lose my sanity.
2. Now that Ugly Betty is over, I am filling in the emptiness by watching other TV Shows. First on the list is America’s Next Top Model. haha. I never imagined myself watching ANTM before. But when I tried watching one episode, I never stopped until I finished Cycle 13. I adored Nicole in that Cycle. “I’m a dork, and I’m America’s Next Top Model!” That was simply inspiring. Actually, what I am running after in watching ANTM is the photoshoot part. It inspired me to be a photographer. Next is unearthing the Urban Zone episodes in YouTube. UZ is a TV show of ABS-CBN hosted by Daphne Osena-Paez which features houses and life in the city. As I watch the clips, I am again inspired to be an Interior Designer. I made my own sketches, but found them ugly. So I resorted to jotting down design ideas for future use. What I’ll do is, I will present them to my future interior designer and let him or her do the job. Inspired again by UZ and my own struggle in cleaning up our room, I watched Extreme Makeover Home Edition to get ideas. I like the extreme transformation. I like the building parts and conceptualizing parts. I wanted to watch Clean House but I did not find any site streaming it online. The next TV Show is Project Runway. Again, I never imagined, I’d watch this. I just liked watching them make unique clothes and the fact that one of the front runners is a Filipino – Jay Sario. I hope he wins and make Philippines proud.
3. Inspired by clothes making in Project Runway, the idea of making my own line of tees came to mind again. So, another project this summer. Print my own clothes. One problem: I don’t know where to buy shirts that fit me well. I’m fat, you know.
4. Today, we had a work mission in a nearby orphanage. It was tiring.
I hope I’ll be productive in the next few days. I’ve been a bummer since last week.
From Pork Chop to Chicken Pasta Flop
Remember the Pork-Chop-Plan? It turned into a Pesto-Chicken-Pasta-Unplanned.
So this is the story. I was really excited to cook pork chop. I went to the grocery to buy the ingredients. My budget was 200 Pesos. I grabbed canned goods for breakfast and lunch for the next day [which is today]. Then, I started to gather the ingredients. I needed canned mushroom so I looked for it. The problem was that there were no 100g cans available. Buying a 300 or 500g can was impractical because it as for one time use. So, I trashed the idea of the Mushroom Pork Chop.
Then, I remembered this Koreanovela where the main character was a chef. In one episode, she was trying hard to make a new recipe and her son gave her the idea of the “Fried chicken which ate spaghetti”. The recipe turned out to be great. It was Baked Chicken and filled with Pasta inside. It was a great idea.
Upon recalling that, I immediately rushed to the pasta rack and grabbed an elbow macaroni and Pesto and Cheese Tomato Sauce. I took two slices of quarter-cut chicken, two pieces white onions and a couple of potatoes. It fit my budget. There was even an extra 16 pesos.
So I went home. Cooked the macaroni. Fried the chicken and the potatoes sprinkled with basil leaves. The result? ONLY the macaroni tasted good. The chicken was tasteful only on the outside. The inside was bland and not thoroughly done. The potato tasted bitter maybe because of the smoke.
In short, my Pesto Chicken Pasta turned into a flop.
I sent my mom a text about my “adventure” and she said. Now you know what to do next time. Yes. It was a learning experience. Now, I really know what to do next time.
The realization: Practice makes perfect.
I had 3 views for the past 2 days!
hahaha
I’ve been looking at my stats since I started blogging here on WordPress and for two days, no one is viewing me. Until… Today!
To those who viewed my blog, even if you didn’t comment, even if you liked my blog or not, I really appreciate you! You don’ know how much it means to me!
Anyway, today I have plans. [Good for me!] Because for the past three days I have been such a couch potato. I only went out of my room to eat. That’s all. All day long I am here in my room watching Ugly Betty, American Idol and Grey’s Anatomy.
Speaking of Ugly Betty… It makes me speechless all the time. I watched the second to the last episode [nooooooooo!!! don't take away Betty from me!] and it made me laugh at the start, feel in love in the middle and hyperventilate at the end. I was like catching my breath for one minute. Tyler shot Wilhelmina! I can’t wait for the next episode yet it gives me pain to think that it will be the LAST.
So now, going back to my plan. I want to cook for dinner later! I’m looking for a simple pork chop recipe on the internet right now. I’m so tired of eating Lechon for the past 5DAYS! Even just now, I ate Lechon for breakfast! Well, I have no choice. I have to finish all that’s left of the party last Sunday. So wish me luck on my Pork-Chop-Plan! I’ll try to take a picture of it later.
I just noticed that I’m so full of energy today! See, I have so many exclamation points! Anyway, I had this brilliant idea when I woke up. It’s about the movie that I will make that will win an Oscar. hahaha. Call me ambitious but I’m a dreamer. I will win an OSCAR. Wait for that day. hahaha.
So, that’s it for now! Adios!
