There will be a person who will catch you somehow and then drops you just when you realized you really want to be with that person for the longest time possible. And you’ll be alone again. Just like that. Natutunan ko sa Up In The Air. Nakakainis yung “love interest” dun ni George Clooney.
(Normal tone) You came in crashing what said to be my sacred moment of the night. I was so contented of just watching you dance there, far, isolated by people around; and me sitting alone.
(Pause)
(Shouting) UNTIL I WAS FUCKING CAPTURED BY YOUR TOUCH AND THE CHANCE OF BEING WITH YOU AFTER THE PARTY!
(Gasps)
(Loud to normal voice tone) I found you in Facebook but I wasn’t sure if I should invite you because I saw your profile picture — it was a guy. So that totally killed my hope of entertaining the feeling.
(Pause)
(Shouting) BUT THEN YOU INVITED ME AS A… (sudden realization) (descending voice tone) friend.
(Long pause)
(Really soft voice) Yeah, as friend. As a fucking friend.
(Normal voice tone) Okay. I’m sorry. I was really getting high hopes when you invited me. I think it really mattered — you inviting me first. Well, I think every thing’s clear now. I totally look like a fool now. Haha! Okay. Goodbye.

This is an imaginary dialogue between me and my new — I don’t know. Anyway, yes, I’m such a pussy for not being able to tell what I really feel for her. And then I realized, that she invited me as a Facebook friend. And that it may just really mean that. Just friends. It hit just as I was typing the “but then you invited me as…a friend.” It’s real time realization. Haha. My advice? Don’t be such a pussy. And don’t ever be afraid of rejection. Just do whatever you want to do and if you fail, at least you tried. I’ll be keeping that advice to myself as well. Good luck to us! Cheers!
Holy Crap Wtf: Yes, that really is an eagle wielding a knife(via @io9) -
Alfred Hitchcock was right about the evils of birds, and now at least one flying raptor has decided to arm itself. This golden eagle stole a knife from a nature photographer, and nearly made off with its newfound weapon. Dutch photographer Han Bouwmeester was in Västerbotten, Sweden, hoping to…
When it comes to obscure DC Comics supervillains, few are as celebrated as Snowflame, a Colombian bad guy who debuted (and died) in 1988’s New Guardians #2. What made Snowflame so memorable?
“I was raised Catholic, I’m not a practicing Catholic and I have no idea what happens after we die.” -Gov. Mike Morris
“Let me be more specific. I am not a Christian or an atheist. I’m not Jewish or Muslim. What I believe, my religion is written on a piece of paper called the Constitution. Meaning that I will defend until my dying breath your right to worship, in whatever god you believe in as long as it doesn’t hurt others. I believe we should be judged as a country by how we take care of the people who cannot take care of themselves that’s my religion. If you think I’m not religious enough, don’t vote for me. If you think I’m not experienced enough or tall enough then don’t vote for me ‘cause I can’t change that to get elected.” -Gov. Mike Morris
“Society has to be better than the individual.” -Gov. Mike Morris
“The richest people in this country don’t pay their fair share. And when they are asked to, they cry socialism, they use phrases like redistribution of wealth and that scares everybody. Then they’ll run and they’ll hide.” -Gov. Mike Morris
“You know how you fight the war on terror? You don’t need their product anymore. Their product is oil. Just don’t need it and they go away. We don’t need to bomb anyone. We don’t have to invade anyone.” -Gov. Mike Morris
“You want to be president? You can start a war. You can lie. You can cheat. You can bankrupt the country but you can’t fuck the interns. They’ll get you for that.” -Stephen Meyers
Let’s run away together.

Hindi ka na lumisan mula ng unang pagkikita
Sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon pa tayo magsasaya
Nahihirapan akong mag-ipon ng lakas para kausapin ka
Hindi ko nga inasahang maisasayaw pa kita.
Ayaw kong samantalahin ang iyong kahinaan
Kaya pinili na lamang na hindi ka hawakan
Nais kong iyong maging sandalan
Ngunit natalo ako ng takot at pangangamba.
Nagsisisi ako na hindi kita naalagaan
Siguro hindi pa oras na ako’y pagbigyan
Kung hindi man dumating ang pagkakataong inaasam
Hindi kita malilimutan kahit ika’y hindi magpaalam.
I don’t know when was the last time that I was able to compose a Tagalog piece but hey, I’ve done it again. It feels good. Can’t tell you my subject. I’m beginning to feel that I should abort whatever I have for that person because I’m so scared that I might end up crying empty-handed. For now, I just hope she’ll know this one’s for her. Haha! Cheers!
Teodoro Valencia
He is the spirit behind the National Press Club and the renovation of Rizal Park in the early 1960s. The original intent of President Ramon Magsaysay is to convert the Park into a Cultural Center with a National Library, National Theater and other cultural edifices, but the people opposed it: They wanted Luneta to remain as a park. In the 1960s, seeing that the Park is unkempt and in a bad state, he launched a fund raising campaign to rehabilitate what is Manila’s Central Park, and that started the long story of continuous refurbishing and improvement of the Luneta as the Central Park of Manila. As a tribute to him, the Agrifina Circle was renamed after him.
