O, Ano?

O self, ano nga ba ang gagawin mo sa pera mo? (Naks, parang ang DAMI kong natatanggap. Ilusyonado.)

**back to rant**

Napakaraming kayang gawin/bilhin ng perang nakukuha mo bawat dalawang linggo…

1) Comics

At nagkulang ka na nga ba sa pagbili ng comics, ano? Araw-araw kang uuwi at may dalang supot na galing Gateway tapos di mo man lang mabasa pa lahat yan. Di nga lang yung mga collected, pati pa yung mga monthly bumibili ka, tapos sasabihin mo kelangan mo pang bumili ng comics?!? (Actually, maganda yung All-Star Superman no?)

Well, pareho lang naman sa libro di ba? Ayos ka na pag nag-retire ka, marami kang babasahin hanggang sa araw na matigok ka tapos gumulong ka na lang sa sahig na nakalawit yung dila mo tsaka tumutulo na lang yung laway mo.

2) Bagong laro sa PS2 o kaya sa DS

Wala pa ring Mario Hoops, kaya pahinga muna siguro? Wala pang lumalabas na sulit para sa 2K-4K na gagastusin mo para sa isa (isa!) lamang na bala ng PS2 o kaya DS, ano? Yun nga lang, pucha, mukhang ok yung Guitar Hero. Baka nga lang mabulabog ko ang kapitbahay…

Tsaka wala pang Wii e. Baka kelangan proceed muna sa No. 5 bago yan…

3) Packs ng Magic o kaya entrance sa Sealed

Nakaka-engganyong mag-laro ulit e, nandun pa rin yung interes ko sa laro. Ganda pa yung bagong set.

Tsaka makulay siya.

Makulay.

4) Damit

On sikan tot, marami pa akong ibang isyu sa buhay maliban sa kung ok lang na pare-pareho yung sinusuot ko bawat linggo. Hindi siya dapat kasama sa listahan. Pero pwede ko siyang gastusan kasi minsan maarte nga naman ako.

5) Ipunin

Oo nga naman. Nagtapos ka na rin lang sa Management di ba, tama rin lang na i-manage mo yung pera mo. Ilagay sa tamang paglalagyan, palaguin, gamitin sa makabuluhang bagay (na magdadala pa ng mas maraming pera, at pera pa mwahaha).

Pero hindi siya ganun kasaya sa oras na ito kesa gastusin siya di ba? Maliban na lang kung nag-iipon ka para sa mga mas malalaking bagay na naaayon sa 1 to 4…

Ang hirap no? Kung tutuusin, kaunti na lang din ang naiiwan sa iyo bawat dalawang linggo dahil sa mga regular na gastusin, pero ang lakas mo pa ring gumastos. Oo nga naman at kelangan mo rin namang maging masaya, pero paano na kung kahit meron ka nyan at di ka pa masaya? Ano na ang gagawin mo?

Alam mo namang hindi lang pera ang mahalaga sa buhay mo, pero ang sakit lang kasi na lahat ng bagay na nakakatulong o nagkukunwaring nagpapasaya sa iyo ay may karampatan pa ring perang kinakailangan galing sa bulsa mo.

Sino ba ang putanginang iyon na nag-imbento ng pera ha? At kelan nga ba ako mananalo ng Lotto? I demand answers.

New Music Friday

Well, this isn't going to be a regular feature, but I bought two new CDs today.

Bought the second album from Kapatid, along with the (thank God!) debut album of Up dharma Down.

For the Kapatid album, it'll take me a few listens more to get used to it and have a concrete opinion on these songs.

But as for the Up dharma Down album...

BEST. 300. PESO. ALBUM. EVAR.

Man, I can't wait for the next Sound album to top this. Just the kick in the nuts OPM needs.

Big Time

I had nothing to do after work two Fridays back, and rather than waste my time going home early and thinking about burning the remaining cells in my retina, I decided to go catch a movie, one my sister had mentioned to me a few days prior.



Big Time, from Arkeo Films, stars Winston Elizalde and Nor Domingo as Danny and Jonas, two small-time crooks who unintentionally take a leap into the "big time" by kidnapping a mob boss' son (Jamie Wilson) and his artista-wannabe girlfriend Melody (Joanne Miller). Supporting role of note for Michael De Mesa, playing mob boss Don Manolo.

I'm not really a film critic, so I'll just point out a few of the more hilarious parts of this off-the-wall flick:

- Jonas and the Boy Bawang quip;
- twenty questions that included a choice between GMA or Miriam (and not in the electoral sense);
- Danny suddenly kicking the kidnapped dog and killing it;
- the "Silence" sign in Don Manolo's office

It's probable that I may have watched this with better expectations than other local films due to a bit of indie cred being attached to it, but overall the movie did what I believe it intended to do: push independent film to a greater audience. Well, you got me there.

For more info, you can go to the ArkeoFilms site here.

Here's to more offerings from them.

This is a test post.

Yes, really. This is a test post.

You have been warned.

Death To Work #1

I still actually think that there's no point in doing this. I could probably count with the fingers on my left hand the number of people who would think anything of the things I post here.

Guess what?

I don't care.

Welcome. I'll probably be posting about random stuff that I've seen, heard, felt, and crapped on. (Cool, got the dirty words in down pat)

At the very least, entries in this blog (my blog? for shame!) should be senseless, and leading towards copious amounts of indignities being hurled onto me. At its best, it'll be informative and coherent. But I don't really shoot for the stars every god damn time, people, so better get used to reading some generally asinine stuff.

Cheers.
