google’s new home page reminds me of the painting from the movie, Shortbus.

hehe.

I’ve been holding back lately. Holding back all the horrible, mean, hurtful things that I want to say to people.

Just 2 weeks ago, my aunt asked me for the nth time if i own a ref on my pad. I politely said yes. I wanted to enumerate everything that I have on my unit but I decided to be polite. Then on our annual family reunion/x-mas party last week, she asked me again if I own a ref. I politely said yes again and smiled. I wanted to ask her if she’s obsessed with freezers or maybe she wanted to know if I have a spare to give her.Is she thinking that I can’t afford to buy a refrigerator? Well, if she pay the money that she owes me, maybe I can buy 4 more refrigerators for my unit.

Two days ago, my friend and I decided to get together and have coffee. We agreed to meet at exactly 2pm at CBTL at the Mall of Asia. So I arrived at around a quarter to 2 just so I could have a little alone time and listen to some music. Then 2pm came. I waited. I waited. It was already 3pm and my friend was nowhere to be found. I called her and asked her where she was and she just said “On the way” and ended the call. She arrived around past 4pm. I was already boiling with rage inside but I just said “no problem”.

Am I actually being good to everyone now? Being good is not really part of my New Year Resolution but I’m becoming really patient and understanding. And I think that this anger repression thing has side effects on my sleep. These past few weeks I always dream about me shouting at people, getting really mad at them and letting all the dirty feelings out of my chest. Is it because I’m getting older and wiser? I dunno. Maybe getting a lot of neat stuff from my mom and my uncle made me a little nicer to people. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll continue being nice to people and consider being rude as part of the list of the few things I have to change for the new year.

Anyway. Happy New Year.

I have to admit that Britney’s newest video “Circus” is good.

It might have been better if Britney did more dance routines like from her previous videos but think that the new video is better than the video for “Womanizer”.

Speaking of “Womanizer”, here’s the real star from that video.

Casting him as the “Womanizer” made me forgot to watch Britbrit shake her ass (and photocopy them).

Brandon Stoughton. I’ve read that he’s an underwear model for Calvin Klein.

Sexier than Britney. hahaha

I’ll can make square sunny side up eggs for you every morning.

It may not mean as much to you.

But this will hang from my neck like my breathing depended on it…

…and down to my chest where my heart still play trills every time I see you.

Thank you. I really love it.

Too much confusion?
Arg!
I can totally relate to this song.
Same story. Same lines and scenario. Same feeling.
I’m never going out again. Unless I want to sin.

AMNESIA (Britney Spears)

I saw him standin’ there
In the parkin’ lot
He asked if I
Came here a lot
And this is how
I responded

I forgot my name
I forgot my telephone number
If he wanna see me
He don’t even know it
I forgot my address
Damsel in distress
I forgot my boyfriend
Was the one that had bought me this bra

I get amnesia
When I’m standin’ next to you-ou-ou
He’s been with me for several years
I know this much is true
Didn’t know it was over
‘Til you came on over
And told me that you just, just can’t
Forget about me

I talk to my girls
I can talk to my girls like crazy
To anyone, I speak my mind
I tell them mother don’t phase me
I’m not lazy
But boy, lately
When I see you, I stu-utter
Watch you slip away like butterflies

I saw you standin’ there
In the VIP on Friday
We conversate up in my
Fantasies like, every day
But I’m a dud
Whenever you approach
Like yesterday when you just
Came to say hello

I forgot my name
I forgot my telephone number
If he wanna see me
He don’t even know it
I forgot my address
Damsel in distress
I forgot my boyfriend
Was the one that had bought me this bra

I get amnesia
When I’m standin’ next to you-ou-ou
He’s been with me for several years
I know this much is true
Didn’t know it was over
‘Til you came on over
And told me that you just, just can’t
Forget about me

Me
Me
This is how I do

I talk to most guys
I can talk to most guys like crazy
To anyone, I’ll speak my mind
I tell them mother don’t phase me
But you shake me
Boy, you make me
St-o-o-o-op and stutter
When we touch, I melt like butter

I saw you standin’ there
In the VIP on Saturday
Now that I know you got a
Thing for me, I should be straight
Not the kinda girl who’ll just let
Any guy get close
I like him so I’m gon’ tell my guy
He should just effin’ go

I forgot my name
And forgot my telephone number
If he wanna see me
He don’t even know
I forgot my address
Damsel in distress
I forgot my boyfriend
Was the one that had bought me this bra

I get amnesia
When I’m standin’ next to you
He’s been with me for several years
I know this much is true
Didn’t know it was over
‘Til you came on over
And told me that you just, just can’t
Forget about me

No more freaking Mojitos.

Ok fine, so I’m currently reading “Twilight”. I wanna know what the hype is all about. Almost all of my cousins are reading the book. We got together one time and all of my cousins disappeared. I looked for them and found them on the Theater room armed with Twilight books (some are reading the sequel) and disappearing from reality. They should’ve just started a book reading reunion.

So last Friday, head spinning from finishing the season 1 of Ugly Betty (Again, I had to check out the hype. I like Ugly Betty. There are episodes na naaawa ako sa kanya, especially the episode where her boss pulled a prank on her and made her wear leather for a photoshoot as a model.), I decided to buy the first book on the Twilight series. National Bookstore was out of it. I tried Powerbooks, out of stock. Then finally, I got a copy from Fully Booked in Mall of Asia.

I just started reading and it’s a bit interesting for a vampire story lover. I’ve read almost all the Anne Rice Vampire series, I’ve seen all the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes and even the movie, played Vampire the Masquerade on PC, Bloodrayne on PS2, read Dracula, and other media on vampires.

So I hope to finish reading this before I watch the movie.

P.S.
I looooove the book cover.

This is one of my all time favorite videos. I read that the make-up artist for this video was also the one who did the make-up in Bram Stocker’s Dracula.

I remember when I watched this with my teenage cousin she said “sheeeeet, ano yung lumalabas sa utong niya?” Then followed by “nakahubad ba siya? bakit wala siyang pepe?”
Sorry for the word. Even I was shocked that it came from my cousin. I’m not used to hearing words like that from family.

When I first got Lady GaGa’s CD, this track and LoveGame became instant favorites. They kinda remind me of songs from Britney’s Blackout. And now, Christina Aguilera is totally immitating Lady GaGa.

Lady GaGa looks like Lili from Tekken 5: Dark Ressurection in this video.

Also, the cover for Britney’s upcoming album “Circus” was released.

Lame. Ugly.

I like the song “Womanizer” and the video is fantastic. But an album cover like this? The fan-made covers are better. Fire the layout artist or whoever made this cover.
Parang pa-tweetums pa si Britney. Like the cover is from “…Baby One More Time” era.

I found out that Vivaldi’s most famous concertos was composed to go along with four sonnets. It was said that the author of the sonnets is still unknown, but there is a theory that Vivaldi himself wrote the sonnets.

I believe that Vivaldi wrote the sonnets for his concertos. If he’s not the one who wrote these sonnets, it must have inspired him so much to create these amazing concertos.

Spring (La Primavera)

Allegro
Springtime is upon us.
The birds celebrate her return with festive song,
and murmuring streams are softly caressed by the breezes.
Thunderstorms, those heralds of Spring, roar, casting their dark mantle over heaven,
Then they die away to silence, and the birds take up their charming songs once more.

Largo
On the flower-strewn meadow, with leafy branches rustling overhead, the goat-herd sleeps, his faithful dog beside him.

Allegro
Led by the festive sound of rustic bagpipes, nymphs and shepherds lightly dance beneath the brilliant canopy of spring.

Summer (L’Estate)

Allegro non molto
Under a hard Season, fired up by the Sun
Languishes man, languishes the flock and burns the pine
We hear the cuckoo’s voice; then sweet songs of the turtledove and finch are heard.
Soft breezes stir the air… but threatening north wind sweeps them suddenly aside.
The shepherd trembles, fearing violent storms and his fate.

Adagio e piano – Presto e forte
The fear of lightning and fierce thunder
Robs his tired limbs of rest
As gnats and flies buzz furiously around.

Presto
Alas, his fears were justified
The Heavens thunders and roar and majestically
Cuts the head off the wheat and damages the grain.

Autumn (L’Autunno)

Allegro
Celebrates the peasant, with songs and dances,
The pleasure of a bountiful harvest.
And fired up by Bacchus’ liquor, many end their revelry in sleep.

Adagio molto
Everyone is made to forget their cares and to sing and dance
By the air which is tempered with pleasure
And (by) the season that invites so many, many
Out of their sweetest slumber to fine enjoyment

Allegro
The hunters emerge at the new dawn,
And with horns and dogs and guns depart upon their hunting
The beast flees and they follow its trail;
Terrified and tired of the great noise
Of guns and dogs, the beast, wounded, threatens
Languidly to flee, but harried, dies.

Winter (L’Inverno)

Allegro non molto
To tremble from cold in the icy snow,
In the harsh breath of a horrid wind;
To run, stamping one’s feet every moment,
Our teeth chattering in the extreme cold

Largo
Before the fire to pass peaceful,
Contented days while the rain outside pours down.

Allegro
We tread the icy path slowly and cautiously, for fear of tripping and falling.
Then turn abruptly, slip, crash on the ground and, rising, hasten on across the ice lest it cracks up.
We feel the chill north winds course through the home despite the locked and bolted doors…
this is winter, which nonetheless brings its own delights.
