espiritista

some reasons why i always look forward to visiting davao

1. mura ang pagkain. sangkatutak ang prutas. mura ang steamed tuna. pati chicken barbecue (paa or pecho!) as a result, i gained a grand total of three pounds! yehey!
2. weather that's warm, but not hot.
3. Mt Apo. kahit hindi ko nalapitan man lang. ang ganda kasi tingnan sa eroplano e.
4. taxi drivers na nagbabalik ng sukli, kahit 2 piso lang. opo, meron pang ganoon sa pinas.
5. nakasubok na ako ng durian. pwede na. yung unang dating sa akin e parang overripe na mangga. yung isang kasama ko muntik maduwal, hehe. wala, sanayan lang siguro talaga yan.
6. gusto ko matuto magbisaya. aliw e. lalo na yung tono ng pananalita ng mga davaoena. may sing-song din na hawig sa ilonggo. ewan kung dito lang yun.
7. mymp. opo, gusto ko sila. dahil lang sa "waiting in vain," nagustuhan ko sila, kahit mukhang hindi yun ang talagang minamarket nilang kanta.
8. walang trapik. at least traffic in the MAKATI sense of the word.
9. football game. saw one on a field the jeepney i was riding passed by and my heart just jumped. next time, i'm joining.
10. life, all in all, seems fairly laid-back. house and lot packages aren't too expensive. there are good schools but no mad dash for students to get the "toppest" scores, unlike in manila.
11. a college friend promised me a mountain biking experience the next time i visit.

I'll be back in a couple of months. can't wait.

tarantino

Caught pulp fiction on cable tv this afternoon. must be 5 or 7 years since i last saw this one. i can remember its misfortune at being released in the same year as forrest gump, so it sorta had to be contented with getting bridesmaid finishes in the oscars and the golden globe. alam nyo na, white america would rather honor an ideologically harmless but charming dumb white boy than a wry film spewing "niggers" every ten seconds. i relished the dialogues given to samuel jackson. or my favorite harvey keitel one liner: "well let's not suck each others' dicks just yet." that was while they were trying to clean up the bits and pieces of brain and skull that splattered in their car after john travolta accidentally blew the face off of the black man they were "taking care of."

pure freaking genius. then i thought, where the hell did it all go wrong with kill bill?

ADHD

If there is anyone out there who's gathering evidence for some future class lawsuit against coffee companies for caffeine-induced ADHD, I will be more than willing to volunteer my 5yr old son as EXHIBIT A.

The little devil is taking after me all right! Napagkakuleeet! :)
