Are You Freakin’ Kidding Me?

only two episodes into the 1st season of HBO’s Big Love, a series i recently read about in a magazine (i think they’re running this here), and all i keep repeating is just that sentence. only i occasionally substitute f–ckin’ with freakin’…ok,ok, so i use it a lot while i’m watching this..

but come on, man… what i’m trying to tell you is that this shit is just.. i mean COME ON, MAN!! have you seen this show? tom hanks (one of Big Love’s producers) has got to be trying to make my head explode. malapit na.

this series is compelling and the writing is just spot-on, but i have to wear 5 headbands to keep my  head from going ka-blooey.

Come.On.Man..

HBO don’t play around with their shit, kapatid. Rome and Big Love just put The Sopranos and Sex And The City way far on my rearview mirror in the list of controversial shit they’ve spit out through the years.

hey, Bill Paxton’s Bill Henrickson character, dealing with THREE WIVES, is beginning to look way more gangsta than Tony Soprano. and Tony’s a fucking mob boss, B.

oongapala, isa munang public service announcement. pag nagawi kayo sa megamall at nakita niyo itong naka-paskel na ito, lilinawin ko lang po na hindi ako yung lalaki:

ayos yung napangasawa niya, may taTO (tattoo para sa di laking kalye jan..) na estrelya sa balikat. nice.

nung nakita ko ‘tong poster na ‘to napa-tumbling ako…tawa nang tawa nanay ko, yari daw ako..

went out to see a couple of movies because i was forced to kill some time between meetings. Beowulf is entertaining enough to keep me awake for almost two hours, baka sulit din yung iMax version… The Nanny Diaries offers the usual life lesson feel good movie formula (ang pogi nung harvard dude, ha..), pero parang na Luz Valdez na ang beauty ni alicia keys…plus scarlett jo is still ScarlettJow..so yun..

the movie Hitman, though…well, yun na nga sinasabi ko, e…to gain more, expect less (kasabihan sa comics na free sa bazoka joe babolgam yan..).. i was kinda hyped when i first saw their trailer…yun tuloy…

two minutes into the movie and it all came crashing down…when the dude started narrating about this group that is so top secret and untouchable that it’s known simply as (dyan-dya-raaaan…) "The Organization"…sabi ko, ay puta, may tulog tayo dito…teka, "The Organization" ba ‘yun o "The Agency"? whatever, whatever, parehong baduy…

you’re better off playing the two Hitman games from eidos, it’s way cooler that what they’re trying to run away with in this crap. nakakalito pa, di maganda pagkaka-setup…pasong-paso na yung "genetically-engineered assassin" or some similar shit angle, tapos may girl na gugulo ng diskarte niya…ha-ler?

HA-Leeeerrrr!?!

pinaka-ok na yung The Transporter nung araw…malupit din kasi yung soundtrack saka choreography ng action scenes.. kahit medyo sobrang fantastico, lusot na din…saka si Hsu Chi yung babae dun, papi… itong si Olga Kurylenko e parang yung girl na masyadong maraming ipinapangako, yun pala e she ain’t all that, ika nga…si Hsu Chi? she’s all that and a bag of chips, manay..

what’s up with these writers failing to come up with cooler names for groups and villains and organizations nowadays? "The Organization?" "The Agency"? sa Heroes nga dulo na ng pasensya ko yung "The Company", e…h-wow…takot ako…the company…brrrrrrr… chills up and down my spine, day…di ba sila yung kumanta nung "Pakisabi Na Lang", yung ni-revive ni aiza?

kaya siguro mag-walkout ang writer’s guild, ayun, unsyami tuloy mga TV shows natin…

ano na nangyari sa mga "Omega Sector", "Carlos The Jackal","TreadStone", "M", yang mga ganyang banat? kahit nga yung "Sinister Six" na kalaban ni Spiderman mas nakaka-intimidate pa kesa sa "The Organization", eh..yung may mga "The" eh gasgas na, ang mga huling cool na may "The" eh "The Brood" saka "The Thirty" at "The Six"…

pag nagkaubusan ng mga tawag sa mga kontrabida at grupong panakot sa mga pelikula at palabas sa TV e baka mauso yung "The Pakers" o "Pakingshets"…

nung pinanood ko itong Hitman e naalala ko yung kaklase ko nung high school. "The Hitman" din tawag namin sa kanya. ang lakas kasi ng anghit niya, parang hinog na bayabas na may halong langka…e ang dalas pa naman namin mag-basketball nang tanghaling-tapat nun…tapos papasok kami sa Filipino class ni Gng. Maypa pagkatapos…awwww…nangangati lalamunan mo pag naaamoy mo…

Speaking of Hitmen, napanood nyo ‘yung buzzer-beater ni ray allen kahapon? gaaa-leeeng..click ‘nyo yung video, ha…

ok, tulog muna…mwah…

This is the last time
That I’m ever gonna come here tonight
This is the last time I will fall
Into a place that fails us all inside

And I can see the pain in you
And I can see the love in you
And fighting all the demons will take time
Will take time

The angels they burn inside for us
And are we ever
Are we ever gonna learn to fly
The devils they burn inside of us
And are we ever gonna come back down
Come around
I’m always gonna worry about
The things that could make us cold

This is the last time
That I’m ever gonna give in tonight
Are there angels or devils crawling here?
I just want to know what blurs and what is clear to see

Well I can see the pain in you
And I can see the love in you
And fighting all the demons will take time
It will take time

The angels they burn inside for us
And are we ever
Are we ever gonna learn to fly
The devils they burn inside of us
And are we ever gonna come back down, come around
I’m always gonna worry about
The things
That could break us

If I were to give in
I’d give it up and then
Take a breath, make it deep
‘Cause it might be the last one you get
Be the last one that could make us cold
Could make us cold
I’m always gonna worry about
The things that could make us cold.

let’s just throw in a few ideas out there for the new government ad campaign:

dude in an office-barong (you know what i mean..) takes time off in the middle of fleecing a hapless mrt commuter to give an interview; "..Ay, oo naman.. dati puro mga 5110 lang, swerte na 3210 saka 8210..saka puro discman pa ‘nun. ngayon halos everyday na yung ipod, ok yung bagong nano, ha? cute sha… shempre mga phone nitong mga ‘to, ang tataray na, may P1, o kaya puro n-series..mababa na 2.0 megapixels yung camera, tapos tigda-dalawa pa kasi may mga dala pang para sa Sun (victim pipes in from the background "..oonga..")..may mga gumagamit na din ng iPhone pero di pa ko nakakatiyempo.. so masasabi ko talaga, Ramdam Ko Ang Pag-Asenso.."

gold-digger toting a fendi handbag takes a break from raiding greenbelt 4 and goes "..Dati si congressman sakto lang magpa-allowance.. greenhills lang, ganun, glorietta… pinaka-ok na pag rustan’s ang natutuntong ko.. saka corolla lang ride ko ‘nun, malayo na ang boracay na booking namin ni Rep..ngayon, nakasubaybay ako sa news, kasi pag may reklamo na naman sa malakanyang o may kabalbalang kinasasangkutan si presidente, awww, siguradong madami na namang pera ang papa koh..unprecedented nga itong bigayan na ‘to ng incentive, kahit panahon ni erap hindi pa ganito..kita mo ang english ko, ha? natutunan ko yan kahapon sa class, in-enroll kasi ako ni big papi, e..kaya magpapatotoo ako, day.. Ramdam Ko Ang Pag-Asenso.."

13-year-old beggar goes "..kahit papaano yung nasa basurahan ngayon mas masarap kesa dati. kaso nga lang ang dami nang kaagaw..paking syet, Ramdam Ko Ang Pag-Asenso.."

still funny?

kung kailangan mo pa magpa-commercial nang ganito, di lalo lang ibig sabihin na naglolokohan lang tayo.

para namang pag problemado ka o broken-hearted di ka humihirit ng "..okey lang ako, promise, okey lang ako.."..but it’s more like reciting to yourself in those moments of self-examination ‘di ako naiinggit’ o ‘masaya ako ngayon..masaya ako ngayon..’

a few days ago i slipped into racking my brain about this whole ‘economic growth’ crap… i’m guessing that somehow they found a way to manipulate the numbers to make it look like we’re moving up to cover how much we’re being pulled down in murky shit.

and yesterday JP Morgan backed me up with this.

siyempre sa inquirer meron din. nakakatawa ang depensa ni merceditas. pihado aral kay justice secretary ‘to. bibong-bibo rin e.

hay naku. makulimlim pa, nakakadagdag sa pagka-badtrip ko na natalo na ang celtics kahapon.

ok na din. maganda na naman ang hirit ni KG. maganda naman talaga humirit itong si idol. parang nung huling cover article niya sa SLAM:

"..I understand what it is to work, and I think that’s why you gravitate toward my work ethic. If you ever want to see if someone’s a hard worker, give ‘em a boatload of money and see if he still works hard. I’m probably not the best player in this league, but I work really, really hard. I work really hard, and I know this. That’s one thing can’t nobody say about me: that he doesn’t work hard. And I’ll lean my hat on that every day."

o, ha?

so there. this fax just came in this morning. "i’m back, motherfuckaz."

You
Are still a whisper on my lips
A feeling at my fingertips
That’s pulling at my skin

You
You leave me when I’m at my worst
Feeling as if I’ve been cursed
Bitter cold within

Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn’t live my life without you
Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I could live my life without you
Without you
Without you
Without you

You are still a whisper on my lips
A feeling at my fingertips
That’s pulling at my skin

You leave me when I’m at my worst
Feeling as if I’ve been cursed
Bitter cold within

Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn’t live my life without you
Without you.

Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn’t live my life without you
Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn’t live my life without you
Without you
You.
