Starting the New Year Right
Really feeling the bohemian spirit so I decided to start off the new year with music from these guys.
Songs to start off the year with: Hey Jude, Let It Be, and All You Need Is Love.
It's so nice to find your soul after losing sight of it for so long.

World Peace
Despite how cliche and corny it may sound, that is actually my one wish for everyone in the whole world for the new year.
Big thanks and kudos to the person who made this image. Really inspired me and several of my friends. I just don't remember where I got it so please don't hate me if I can't give proper credit to ya, haha. V(^^)

Firecrackers are for Idiots
There I said it.
I wanted to post pics of firecracker injuries. But Google Search turned up some really nasty stuff. And I mean NASTY! (Go search them yourself, see if you can handle it. Oh and turn SafeSearch off).
So have a safe new year, world. 2010's gonna be awesome. Nay, not just awesome. Legendary.
P.S. Watching fireworks is awesome though. Especially from afar and if handled by professional pyrotechnicians.

Der Herr der Ringe
I am addicted to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I truly am. It is amazing how some chance encounters can lead into lifetime obsessions.
It all began about ten years ago when I decided to rent a video of the first film. It was like, hmm ok so I suppose everyone's talking about it so maybe I should go watch it too.
Then my mind got totally blown.
You know how it's like when you're watching or listening to something and often you just pass something off as so-so or mediocre or nothing worth remembering? I suppose I'm some kind of jaded art fool who would not recognize a classic when I see one even if it's dancing naked in front of me. That's how bad I am, really. It's amazing when I see everyone going crazy over a film, or a song, and I just don't get it. Sad.
But when I watched this film, it was "oh" at first. Then another "oh!". Then "oh wow!". I was hooked, I couldn't help it, I loved it. I was all over it. Yes, it felt like great sex.
So then I decided to get myself a copy of the book. I mean, alright so it was based off several books by JRR Tolkien so let's see how the film compares to the actual literature.
And that's when it got even better. I couldn't put those books down. Literally devoured them. So the movie (and the two sequels) maybe amazing by themselves, but it is in Tolkien's written word where the real action and the real drama are at.
A visual film could only take your imagination so far. But the written word, that's the real intoxicating drug that can take you off into an escapist wonderland where you can just forget about your worries for a few hours and join an adventure led by knights, elves, and everything else in between.
It's been almost ten years since I got hooked. And I'm still reading the books at least once a year since then.
It's my addiction.
And the intoxication feels wonderful.

'Sup, Pepe!
A little cheer to the coolest dude of the 19th century!
Yeah, I just called him "dude".
He knew how to speak English. I'm pretty sure he would've understood what I said.

Nostalgia Manila
Manila has got to be my favorite city in the world. And it's just sad how sometimes, one feels that this city is severely disillusioned with itself. The city used to have charm. But it's really frightening to see how the metropolis had let go of itself, trying to cover up the dilapidation with eye-hurting billboards, "modern" structures that just don't add up, government "city planning" that really isn't working. The end product feels like an old hag wearing bad make-up. Or a cover for a cheap, pirated dvd.
Shameful. Disappointing.
Thankfully a friend recommended this amazing blog and I couldn't be more happy to be able to reminisce and remember the things that made me fall in love with this city.
Nostalgia Manila
I'm not asking that Manila become the new Paris or New York. All I'm asking for is for the old glory of the city to be reinvented for the new century.

Bear vs Rob
Wee hours of the morning. Couldn't sleep. Watching Discovery Channel in the hopes that it'll get you sleepy.
Sometimes, when the brain's really tired, weird ideas come into your head. I saw this guy...
...and thought, hey wait a minute, he totally looks like someone else:
Did a little Google search and turns out it's not just me who thinks it.
Bear's TV show is awesome, even though most of his stuff is obviously staged.
Rob Thomas' music is also awesome. I just wish sometimes that he would sing more clearly so I wouldn't have to look up the lyrics of his songs in the web.
That is all.
Zzzzzz.....
P.S.
Oh yeah, in a fight to the death this guy would win:

Paraiso
This is just one of those songs that really get to you. I got reminded of it when a friend posted this same vid on FB. Sure opened a floodgate of memories.
Hail to the great Mr. C and to these four artists who really made it big way back in the '90s!

Sleepless @ 4AM
Got nothing to do and this video I saw in TMZ a few days ago just won't get out of my head.
Those British folks are really weird.

Christmas Offline
So get this. It's the holidays, you're gearing up to greet everyone and everybody via the web then boom! Your ISP goes down, your phone line's down, all because of a bloody idiot who passed by our street and managed to entangle the phone lines to his vehicle. It gets even worse, the ISP won't fix the phone line because apparently it's not their fault and of course we have to pay for the repairs.
Aaah... but it's good to be back. Oh my blog... my dear, lovable, shameless blog... I missed you so. I missed you more than the legendary Barney Stinson misses dating on a day he had a bad cold.
Now I got tons of stuff to tell ya, but I'm afraid that with being offline for a week, so many ideas got crammed into my head, and I think imma gonna need a few hours to reorganize my thoughts then I'll be able to start posting like a maniac. Don't worry. It'll be phenomenal!
Phenomenal!
