September 01 is the start of the Christmas season in the Philippines. have a Happy Christmas, everyone! let's hope it's a good one.

fall in love with a hipster

Fall in love with a girl who has this certain kind of confidence that makes her unique.  The girl that chooses comfort over brand names.  So get used to other people’s stares because you were with a weird-looking chick.  Fall for the girl who likes it eclectic.  

Fall in love with a hipster chick who loves the arts – in every kind.  The girl who is very passionate about other people’s creations.  That girl is a self-confessed nerd, but in a good, artsy-fartsy way.  Rest assured that when you’re with her, she will never ran out of creative ways to express her feelings for you.  You lucky sonofa----.

She’s the girl who is in tune with the ways of the world, and not inclined to worldly possessions. She is fun-loving and very independent.  She’s the type who likes to try out new things, the type who welcomes new thoughts and ideals.  Fall for the girl who is always open-minded and very understanding.

Fall in love with a girl who not only devours the pop culture but most of all, the indie / underground / uncommercialized as well.  Especially with music.  Fall for the girl who thinks dancing along Pedicab in a mosh pit is a form of exercise.

It ain’t easy to find this girl.  So once you’ve found her, never let her go.  A hipster chick is very loyal.  Like a groupie.  In her eyes, you are the ‘best among the rest’.  =)

Treat her and love her right – and she will bring out the best in you.  You will be her muse; and although you can’t ‘own’ her, she will give out all that she could possibly give.  

Fall in love with a hipster chick, and you will enjoy exploring each other’s universe.

Fall in love with her, and you will never be lonely; like, ever.

“I am falling in love with a hipster.”  (well. he had his chance but he blew it HAHAHA)

never-ending. And you inhabit those places not because 

they have been pursued but because you have opened your 

heart and have allowed them in."

this song never fails to turn my blue days into a happy one. enjoy! =)

Sunshower (Chris Cornell)


Dark as roses, fine as sand
Feel your healing and your sting again
I hear you laughing and my soul is saved
On forgotten graves you cry

Crawl like ivy up my spine
Through my nerves and into my eyes
Cuts like anguish
Or recollections of better days gone by

But it's all right
When you're all in pain
And you feel the rain come down
It's all right
When you find your way
Then you see it disappear
It's all right
Though your garden's grey
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
In the sweet sunshower

Eyes like oceans so far away
A feather trail to a better way
Worried mornings turn into days
Then into worried nights

But it's all right
When you're all in pain
And you feel the rain come down
Oh it's all right
When you find your way
Then you see it disappear
Oh it's all right
Though your garden's grey
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
In the sweet sunshower

I know all your graces
Someday will flower
In the sweet sunshower
And it's all right
All you'll be you are today...

dear you,

thank you for giving me this creative license. =)

funny little story

A long time ago, a series of unfortunate events (plus being around guy friends for quite a while) had led me to this thinking that ALL MEN ARE THE SAME.  Because it’s what I did see, hear and feel.  They can deny all they want… but for me, that saying was made for a reason and that reason is because it’s true.

And then this particular guy that had this image of a great guy kept on saying in his facebook that “not all men are the same and that all a woman need is just one guy to prove her wrong.”

Funny thing is – HE IS THAT ONE PERSON THAT PROVED ME RIGHT.

**Hey, you, ‘great guy’.  If ever you come across this post, I’m sorry that I used your famous quote.  Don’t worry, I still think you’re a great guy, but our conversations made me realize more that men are all the same.  You are all wired that way.  No hard feelings, alright?  See you around, buddy boy ;)

next up: CINE EUROPA. loco por las películas =P

get happy, says Gregory.

hopelessly hopeful

Sometimes I wonder what it’s like to be totally vulnerable.  Like this guy from 500 Days of  Summer.   But  right now I know I am sooo Summer Finn (or at least I would want to)  hahahigh =P

audience impact

I do check the stats, you know.  Besides the Philippines, I see people from Russia, USA, Canada, Germany, France and UK  visiting this blog.. hi, y'all!  kisses from Manila.  My name is Pach and I like to meet bloggers from around the world as well..  Can anyone of you guys comment here? anything would do. yay =)

r.o.s.s.

come back, my Ray Of SunShine. I want to hop and skip again.  I need me some muse again

no one could ever prepare themselves when that 'One Day' comes. oh, korean telenovelas, I can't watch too much of you right now. you are bad, bad, baaaaad..

“Some things feel like fantasy because they’re distant.  That is the way of the stars.  Just as it is with people who are beautiful; they disappear easily.  I have realized that now.  What an amazing person he is.  And that is why he is so distant from me.  He will disappear one day as well.  As the way people do when they’re too beautiful.”

weekend awesomeness

Finally! After five years, we got to watch some of the featured films in this year’s International Silent Film Festival held at the Shangril-la.

The first film we got to see was Spain’s ‘La Casa de la Troya’ (The House of Troy); a 1925 silent film which was a rom-com. Hahaha.  Background music was played LIVE nad featured SinosiKat and Spain’s Ignacio Plaza.

oh, look -- it's us! =P (look closely,or click to enlarge photos, pal. hahaha)

The second film we did get to see was USA’s “Safety Last” (1923) – a comedy which featured Radioactive Sago Project as musical accompaniment (live again).  AWESOMENESS!!!!! =)

By the way, the movie was really funny and really cool for a film in that era.  The lead actor, Harold Lloyd, was great, too.  Now I’m aiming to see more silent films, specially with Charlie Chaplin in it.

I remember while watching the film it kinda gives me the creeps knowing that maybe almost all of the people I’m seeing in the film were dead already. =P

I can’t describe how cool it is watching those “authentic” silent movies and seeing pinoy bands play alongside.
I cannot wait until the next silent film fest.  Thanks to Instituto Cervantes and the organizers of the SFF for the photos. =)

Crash Into Miss Independent

someone told me she remembers me when she hears this song.  really nice cover from THE Johnoy Danao. enjoy! =)

---o0o---

'cos you're the king of the castle and i'm your dirty rascal -- crash into me... <3

don't forget.

...because when it rains, it pours.

It's been raining for weeks now.

There's something about the rain that I don't like -- 

how it reminds me of what I've been through years ago. 

It was hard, it was traumatizing, and it still haunts me until now.

And it happened again just this recently.




Rain reminds me of melancholy.

how movies used heavy rain when dramatic scenes were being portrayed.

I don't like that it reminds me of something sad,

and how it makes me think that like those act-out heavy rain scene,

 it just wouldn't stop from pouring.

I always want the rain to stop quickly when it comes my way.

But I know that it is a part of life, they are here to stay

and all I have to do is to live it through - because 

just like any other seasons, it does come and go.

I just have to adapt to it, suck it in and live with it 

until I can hop and skip again

Under that little ray of sunshine.

Soon, I promise.I will hop and skip again very soon.

---o0o---

famous last words:

"Oh and by the way -- I was NEVER talking about the weather.  But I guess my close friends knew of it already. Don't you just love euphemisms? boo-yeah." (pvd)

who's that girl?

madness has it

I can't get these memories out of my mind

And some kind of madness has started to evolve

I tried so hard to let you go

But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah

I have finally seen the light

And I have finally realized what you mean

And now I need to know is this real love

Or is it just madness keeping us afloat?

And when I look back at all the crazy fights we've had

It's like some kind of madness was taking control, yeah

And now I have finally seen the light

And I have finally realized what you need

And now I have finally seen the end

And I'm not expecting you to care, no

And I have finally seen the light

And I have finally realized

I need to love

I need to love

Come to me, just in a dream

Come on and rescue me

Yes I know I can be wrong

Maybe I'm too headstrong

Our love is madness.

virtual suicide (part 2)

pusong wasak / ruined heart

I just finished detoxing my digestive system for 3 days.  It was hard, it was painful, but it was worth it.

And now I have to start with the circulation system.

I must remove all of the toxins left.  I know it's going to take a while, but it's okay.  I'd do anything to go back to the girl I once was - before the hurting; before the madness.

Everything must GO. 

*Here's one for the road -- cheers to all the guys who ruined it for me =)

how do I go through the day missing someone? simple. i tweet about it and let my 59 followers know about it.  

all about eve

When she is quiet, millions of things are running in her mind.

When she is not arguing, she is thinking deeply.

When she stares at you,she is wondering why you are lying.

When she calls you, she is seeking for your attention.

When she says 'I love you',she means it.

When she says 'I miss you',no one in this world can miss you more than her.

Girls are always special.

She is a priceless treasure.

Never hurt her or take her wrong.

Tell this to every girl to make her smile

And to every boyto make them realize.
