seeing "compromise" on a positive light
"Early on, from my father, I learned the necessity of compromise, which to me has never been a bad word. It makes things happen, it makes things possible. It is, in its own way, an art, a working of one's attitude and skill on the material and situation at hand. We often look at our heroes as those who never compromised their principles, and that's admirable, but not all principles are created equal. Some involve the survival of the nation, others merely the survival of the self, which is important enough on most days, especially if the survival of others depends on you."
- Sir Butch Dalisay, For Love and Living

opening theme song ng cartoon sa ABS dati na Julio at Julia
di ko ata nasubaybayan ito hanggang sa katapusan ng kwento dahil hindi ko alam na nagkatuluyan pala ang kambal na ito. pinag-uusapan kasi namin (maida, betang, jown at ako) sa lab ito kanina at na-curious tuloy ako sa kinalabasan ng kuwento kaya napa-research ako. nakakita ako ng lyrics, pati audio stream nung mismong opening song.
kapag umikot na ang mundo
IIkot din ang buhay ng tao
May saya at mayroong dusa
Sa mithiing pakikibaka (?)
kapag umikot na ang buwan
bago pa sumikat ang araw
bagong pag-asa'y matatanaw
tadhana na ang syang pupukaw
si julio at julia
kambal ng tadhana
di susuko
sa pagsubok
"Handa Ka na ba, Julio?"
"Oo, Julia"

newly-discovered song by Alanis
alam mo naman me, hindi ko nagugustuhan ang mga kanta dahil sa lyrics kundi dahil sa kabuuang tunog. madalas late ko nang malalaman na higit sa magandang tunog ng kanta, maganda o may kabuluhan din pala ang sinasabi nito
Lyrics | Alanis Morissette lyrics - Forgiven lyrics
We all had delusions in our head
We all had our minds made up for us
We had to believe in something
So we did
start here...

Es regnet.

A face change for my blogspot site. Got bored of the almost colorless interface it's been in for quite awhile. Amazingly, my cbox account seems to have gotten deleted or lost or something. Couldn't access it anymore to change some settings on my tagboard. It recognized my username but i've got no emails whatsoever on my new password.
++
The rain has stopped.
++
Been in a writing mood for the past few days already. Wala pang umaabot sa space na 'to. Hanggang mood lang, wala pang topic o kahit anong ideya. Pero bumabalik ako dun sa mga panahon na naeengganyo akong magsulat - mapa-blog, fanfic o maikling kwento. kaya eto na lang ang nagawa ko.
++
Kainggit ang mga taong maraming libreng oras. kasi kahit ang dami ko nang libreng oras, ang dami ko pa ring ibang ginagawa.
++
napa-facebook na rin ako. dati sinabi kong di ko na 'to papatusin. e kailangan sa isang trabahong ginagamapanan ko. ayan, nagkaroon. at medyo nawiwili ako dun sa notes feature niya. iniisip ko pa kung anong mga isusulat ko dun sa latest note kung san na-tag ako.
medyo hindi ganun ka-straightforward iyong interface niya. di mo kasi agad makita iyong group kung san admin status ka. o baka kulang lang ng tweaking sa settings. pero tiningnan ko na iyon dati wala naman akong nakitang kahawig sa gusto kong mangyari.
++
nakakain na rin ako sa bellini's. sa Marikina branch na nila 'to. inaya ako nina joyce at macel last night for dinner, supposedly, at a thai restaurant in marikina. andun na sina ate beng and dylan. i was determined to decline kasi masakit na mata ko (from puyat and staring in front of the pc for almost the whole day beginning the other day). then treat na lang daw. ayun, went with them. when we were on the way, closed na raw iyong thai resto so we proceeded to bellini's. ate beng and dylan already had dinner so they just had dessert and tea at the italian resto instead. macel ordered spaghetti with seafood baked in aluminum foil, pasta with prosciutto for joyce and me and campagnola (pizza). masarap! masarap talaga. kailangan maulit. there were breadsticks provided nung una which we (the three of us) devoured since past 9 na iyon and we haven't eaten. we even asked for seconds and even thirds pa ata. then they gave shots of sweet wine for each one of us. the owner (my companion presumed he's the son of the owner who's at the cubao branch) was trying to get our opinion on our dining experience so we also got to take a picture with him. and those pictures - since they're in macel's cam - have the possibility to no longer see the light of day. so, well, i'll just imagine bellini's through my memory.
++
it's almost three. need to leave. will futsal myself along with other sikad peeps. ah yes, and something that would pass for lunch.
miss writing. but not like this. like something else. like in estupadoink.blogspot.com or other. anyway, need to go now. like you would care.
++
[edit: 022509]
P.S. somebody posted the pics of which i was speaking above. teehee.
so we have the gang at Bellini's: seated-beng, joyce, macel, I; standing - owner, dylan

high on Murasaki Blue
summer haze takes me back to those golden days
a black and white photograph
a captured moment of your laugh
sunny days eating ice cream
while i'm lost in the daydream
lingering seconds as our lips did part
did you really mean what you said at the start?
you made me laugh in your own ways
getting twited in the part with the happy mondays
i'm standing here with hardly anything to say
words just only get in the way
there's so much passion that we consumed so fast
how do i make that first kiss last?
i wanna go back to the eyes
the eyes that don't lie
murasaki blue
you were always true
i wanna go back to the start
where i was touching your heart

los dias de futsal*
futsal sa ultra kagabi. nakakabuhay maglaro muli. as in literal. parang mas nagkaroon pa ko ng hangin. parang nawalan ako ng mga taba. siyempre, mga isang linggo na rin akong di naglalaro ng football. tapos futsal pa tong nilaro ko. pagkatapos tuloy ng isang game, di na ko makahinga. may mga time pa naman na may magkasunod kaming games.
medyo wala pa ko sa mindset na gumawa ng play. pero at least, malakas naman sina kuya zig at kuya ronald. hehe. nung first game ata iyon, dala ko ung bola, tapos bigla akong bin-lock ni coach gil. ang laki pa naman ng katawan niya. wala na tuloy akong nagawa. hehe. pero masaya. iba iyong mga kalaro.
it's futsal days once again, bilang up fair na at maliit lang ang space sa sunken para kumportableng magsipaan ang lahat. kaya futsal uli sa miyerkules :D
*pasintabi sa pelikulang dias de futbol

Heroes in a half-shell
Turtle power
They’re the world’s most fearsome fighting teens

These turtle boys don’t cut no slack
Splinter taught them to be ninja teens (He’s a radical rat)
Leonardo needs Donatello’s dust machine (Not so fast)
Rafael is cool but crude (Get a break)
Michelangelo is a party dude
Ewan ko kung tama ang pagkakasulat ko sa lyrics. Kapansin-pansin na ang pangalan ng apat na bida ay hango sa mga sikat na Italyano sa larangan ng sining. Ano kaya ang dahilan kung bakit ito ang piniling pangalan ng mga bida? Di ko naman alam kung san nabase ang pangalan ni Master Splinter. Ang
