Withdrawal Method

July 12th, 2006 by epoyz

How about that?

just when i was about to get really warmed up about this getting-back-to-actually-doing-work thing, a tropical storm went out of her way to prevent me from working a record third straight day. damn Florita. damn Florita to hell.

it’s really unfortunate that these calamities strike the country very often this time of year. i always used to admonish my little brothers when they were, uhm.. little.. to stop celebrating the suspension of classes whenever  we’re being hit by a tropical storm because they should know that in other parts of the country people are trying to fight for their lives and homes just to weather the storm. so kids, just do your homework, ok? you don’t need to pray for a storm just to get off from doing school work..don’t be stupid like that, hear? stop skirting off from schoolwork and avoid making bulakbol, finish your schooling properly so you can grow up, get a job, be miserable and spend all your money on shoes.

i was visiting the inquirer website for the news when i got the most annoying pop-up ever… hwow, i missed that old bastard.

so. i heard a lot of people got sent home early. and they’re thinking of suspending classes again tomorrow. haaay. baha at traffic na naman. hope people in the provinces who are hit hard are ready for some more of Florita. damn her. damn her to hell.

ohhh-kay. i think by now everyone else is over this whole world cup thing, so let’s move on.. no? not yet? the french contingent is complaining that materazzi flopped the hell out of that headbutt, but i’ve seen the video, and i think zidane connected spectacularly..hehe..look at materazzi lying on the grass like a b*tch..well, at least for his troubles he helped his country win..it said somewhere that he gave zidane’s nipple a tweaking.. hindi naman yata.. pero ano nga kaya yung sinabi niya kaya naasar ng ganun? di naman siguro "kalbo!" ano?

anyways, zidane should have known better than to throw his country’s chances away on an impulsive action like that. his experience should have thought him that winning is still the best payback for whatever. i know, i know, it’s hard to keep your composure in the heat of the moment, but still.. ang pikon, talo.. ayun na nga. talo talaga tuloy sila. tsk..

look at dwyane wade, di yan nakikinig kahit na sinisigawan ng "baluga, baluga" nung nba finals… no, seriously… yan ding si junthy valenzuela (eto totoo ‘to..), amidst the incessant chanting of "Diego, Diego.." of SMB fans, he sticks a jumper with 0.2 seconds left to lift red bull to the PBA all filipino finals. doesn’t matter that i hate him as a person (i have a story..), but still, i have to respect the game.

wanna hear my junthy story? no? ok.

nothing much, really, it’s that one time at megamall i ran into him and jimwell torion (isa pang pogi..).i was wearing one of my more "hata-appealing" pairs of shoes. it was when i was beginning to become a fan of his kasi di pa nakakasuka ang red bull noon. jimwell looked at me once and moved on, but junthy gave me a once-over from feet (must be the shoes, homey..)-to-head with this challenging sneer like he’s saying "eh, magaling ka ba?".. well, that’s the end of that, di ko na siya like mula noon. in fact, hate na hate ko siya, with every fiber of my being.. can’t say the same about the game, though..

about people mistaking me for a professional ballplayer (not a professional balls-player, you dolt..), i kinda get that a lot. i guess i have that look that people readily associate with basketball: matangkad, maitim, payat, saka kalbo pa. hawig ko rin daw si nic belasco. hindi naman, i used to say, until i met him face to face going up an escalator in shangri-la and he was on the escalator going down..the look of surprise on his face when he saw me.. muntik na yata sumigaw ng "’tol!".. siya, siya.. di kami magkamukha talaga, mukha lang kaming magkapatid.

then there was this one time when we went on a road trip and spent the night in a beach resort in la union.. i had the urge for the munchies (saka ubos na ang pulutan) so i headed out to the barrio to look for a sari-sari store. dressed in a basketball jersey and shorts, without a hat on, i knew the kids were talking about me when i came up to the store even though i couldn’t understand their dialect. i heard words like "PBA", "import" and "baskitbol" here and there, aside from their unblinking stares that were fixed on me the whole 5 minutes i was there. akala ko nga sasaksakin ako, e..

the most flattering comment i got was when my brother accompanied me to a scrimmage very recently, and we stopped at petron to get gas (huh?) and he was fiending for a frappucino. we swung by starbucks, i didn’t order anything because i was still warm from the game, still wearing my shoes and shorts with a white shirt, and i noticed the small girl behind the counter staring intently. she then blurted out to my brother while he was paying: "sir, galing po kayo sa opening ng UAAP?", and right then and there, she made my whole week. aba, eh, sa dilim pala eh napagkakamalan pa rin akong nasa college. hehe..

and since nasa basketball pa rin tayo, cleveland fans (myself included) can heave a sigh of relief: lebron is staying! not for the original offer of five years, though, but good enough. i say a wise decision on his part also, to not get too deep in a contract because the NBA collective bargaining agreement is still shaky. and cleveland may return to being a stinker anytime, baka gawin lang siyang business tapos di sila mag-commit para gumawa ng moves to chase a championship, e, mahirap na. parang clippers noong araw. wise beyond his years, this boy, i always say.

one thing i wanted to touch on in my last post was about these pictures that a very good friend sent to me, showing saudi prince Waleed’s diamond studded Mercedes.Image002
sabi nga ni utol, "ngayon mo lang ba nakita yan?".. well, sana nga di ko na lang nakita ‘to, e. this and the golden toilet that the sultan of brunei craps on in his golden plane. fuck. like i wrote about yesterday, growing a conscience is very painful, but these people… they crap on golden toilets and eat endangered species and continue to flaunt how obscenely rich they are…somebody ought to outlaw this bullshit. when you get to a certain degree of having too much wealth, you should be prevented from spending money like this, no? andaming nagugutom, e, parang nang-aasar ka na lang niyan, brod. and the price of oil keep going up? bakit? then this is how they’re spending the money that people go to war for? saka di ba nila napanood yung schindler’s list?

one thing that is both a source of pride and a bit of embarassment is my shoe collection. yes, i have 60 pairs of basketball shoes (still growing), and i try my darndest best to wear them all, but i collect them because i’m passionate about them. but i don’t flaunt them or conciously brag about them, kasi medyo nakakahiya nga. still, when it comes down to it, it’s my money, i don’t steal money to buy more shoes, i’m not out hurting anybody so that i can buy more shoes, i don’t spend much on any other vice like booze or recreational drugs, i don’t have any other expensive hobbies plus i don’t really like travelling, so i get to spend my extra money on shoes…woooow, defensive..

and i found that i feel better when i buy new shoes instead of spending my bills on beer houses and strip joints. word. talaga nga. pakibaba naman ang kilay, no?

but when you see people who have an opportunity to use this amount of money to make a positive impact but choose to spend it on really foolish things.. well, i don’t really know what’s up with them, for all i know baka may ginagawang kabutihan ‘tong mga ‘to na di publicized, but still.. diamond studded shit? that’s too much, b. kung magiging bilyonaryo ako (ng dollars, ha?) i’ll follow bruce wayne and tony stark’s cue. i’ll use that money to finance a superhero campaign to go up against the world’s illest shit and shitheads. imagine that..   

rather interesting: apparently generoso senga waited nearly two hours before screwing his comrades over and choosing to stay with the government. aaaand according to reports (and accusations), he confirmed thru text (o ha?) that he will be joining danilo lim and the others in their withdrawal of support. hanep no? galing ng texting, pati ‘tong mga mokong na ‘to nakiuso na. paano kaya yung texttext nila? maybe lim texted "sama u sa rbelion?" to which senga replied "k".

and i see this voice text thing hasn’t caught on yet, di pa ko nakakatanggap, eh. my friend dyordz, evil genius that he is, is still waiting for someone who would send him a voice text like "sabi ni engineer pakidaanan na lang daw sa sekretarya niya yung plano tapos meet na lang kayo bukas sa opis niya.." to which he would reply thru voice text din: "k..".

Girl: doc, papacheck-up po..
Doc: sige hubad ka ng panty at bra tapos higa ka.
Girl: ..hindi po ako, itong lola ko po.
Doc: ..sige lola, hinga na lang po ng malalim..

two straight posts because the cable is out. Damn Florita. Damn Florita to h…

one last thing: who the fuck is that moron singing "Iris" on local radio? they ought to jail that boy..

 

"Old, bad eyes
Old, bad eyes
Old, bad eyes
Almighty fear

The shepherd won’t leave me alone
He’s in my face and I
The shepherd of my days
And I want you here by my heart and my head
I can’t start till I’m dead."

("Here I am locking horns with a stallion
  Failing to hold my head up, I’ll go back again
  Pillar of Davidson feeling too hard to go down
  Cheaper than all the souls he will walk upon
  Deeper and deeper in love so I hold my head up
  Cheaper than all the souls he will walk upon
  Pillar of Davidson feeling too hard to go down..")
