The Chosen One.

I Hit the gym last night. I always ran into this white guy (a breakdancer) in the abs section every Sunday 9pm. Always. We've only had a few small talks but he always handle the conversation. I just agreed all the time. I just got his name yesterday. Even though we have small talks like 4 times in every Sunday we had. He practices bboy.. I always do abs for like 20mins/4sets of different kinds of workout.

After that I hit the weights. He's upstairs, I'm on the down part.

He's in the jacuzzi/spa, I'm in the wet sauna.

I went to the pool. He went too. There's a division for slow and fast swimmers, and for walking. It's past 11:20pm and we are in the walking section part of the pool. There's another guy in the pool. He's always diving though it was not allowed to. We had our chat.

Choi: Shit! Look at that shit.

Breakdancer: Fucking shit.

C: Holy. Shit.

B: Holy. Shit.

C: (downs sandwich) That's our guy levitating.

B: Upside-fuckin-down, man. He’s levitating upside-fuckin’-down.

C: Like he’s Neo, dude. Fuckin’ A.

B: He’s the chosen one. He can read the Matrix. Fuck.

C: He just fucking walked right off the board and–BOOM!–he’s just fucking floating there.

B: Holy smoking donkey dick, he’s still up there.

C: Just fucking sitting there. Wherever I go, it’s like his eyes are followin’ me.

B: He’s gonna do that ’till I stop dropping balls, right?

C: I need a beer. Like, right damn now.

B: He heard that. He knew you were gonna say that before you even said it.

C: Holy shit, he did, didn’t he? Holy fucking shit.

B: How long’s he gonna be up there?

C: ‘Til we get an offensive line, he says.

B: He's gonna be up there for a while, then, motherfucker.

B: (shakes head) Fuckin’ A.

B: Reese.

C: Like the chocolate?

R: Yeah. I'll try to remember yours.

C: Alright later. *looks up at neo and nod-ed*

Funny times.

Small talk.

Eto yung usapan na wala lang. Pampalipas oras. Pero maraming kung ano ano.

Halimbawa, nagbabasa ka sa bleacher, tapos biglang napadaan ang kaklase mo, bukod sa hi-hello, mandatory ang kaunting chit chat. Babatiin ka ni classmate: "Nagbabasa ka?" gusto mong sabihin, "Obvious ba?" pero siyempre magpapaka nice ka, at dahil ayaw mong makipag usap, kahit kitang kita mong mabigat ang dinadala nyang bag at pupunta pa sa room nya pero itatanong mo pa rin na "kakadating mo lang?". Siguro ilang minuto lang rin tatagal ang usapan ninyo, pero sa totoo lang, wala naman kayong pinag uusapan. Small talk nga.

Meron pa. Small talk sa binyag, sa kasal, sa party. Nag abala kang mag bihis, tapos pauupuin ka sa lugar na wala kang kakilala. Talo mo pa ang may surgery na walang anesthesia , lahat ng istorya nya eh sasabihin nya sa'yo, hindi mo sya kilala, pero tuloy parin ang salita. Small talk nga.

Meron pa. Sa Gym, tumakbo ka ng mga 2miles. Nag pahinga ka sandali sa lugar na lagi mong inuupuan tapos tatakbo ulit. May lumapit sa iyo at sinabing: "catching your breath too?". Obvious pa rin, hindi ka makasagot kasi nga hayun ang sitwasyon mo. *I nod-ed*. Tumayo ako, pati sya, sumabay sa pagtakbo at nag kwento. Small talk parin.

Dapat ang small talk parang one-night stand. Ang pagkakaiba lang walang orgasm. Puro foreplay lang, small talk nga eh, walang peak ang paroroonan. Dapat kinabukasan, kakalimutan. Kaso ang problema, pag nakipag small talk sya ulit, ganun pa rin, parang naghahanap ng bestfriend.

Nung nasa Pilipinas pa ako. Pag may nakasabay kang kaibigan, pakiramdaman, sino ang magbabayad sa sino. Syempre papayag kang malibre, 17 Pesos din yun, kaso ang lagay, ikaw ang may dala ng kwentuhan. Ganun talaga sa kasulatan, nag uunahan kayo ng pera sa pagdukot para ibayad ang isa. Kung ano anong obvious tuloy ang masasabi mo kasi nilibre ka. "Ang traffic noh?", "ang bagal ng jeep", o kaya "may quiz ka?" dahil meron syang binabasa na xerox copy.

Sa trabahong pinapasukan ko, ibang level ang small talk. Madalas sino-showbiz ka. May makakasabay ka sa break room, sempre andun pa rin ang hi-hello.

Co-worker: Ganda ng soot mo. Mag mo move ka?

Ako: Salamat.... Hindi ko alam. Saan daw?

CW: Kala ko dun sa LA.

A: Sinong nagsabi?

CW: Sila sila.

A: (Halatang hinuhuli ka lang kasi sinabi ko lang sa manager ko. Nginitian ko nalang)

CW: Dapat mag file ka ng 2weeks para hire-in ka ulit nila pag mag aapply ka.

A: (Nginitian ko nalang ulit at buntong hininga.)

4:59 na noh, tagal mag 5pm.

CW: Oo nga, tagal noh?

Ayos.........

¡Se Habla Espanol!

¿Donde mi burrito at? ¿and side chalupas'.? lol.. I, actually Happy ran into some books and saw this (picture on the right) and had me buy it. I just glanced over it tonight and it's kinda funny that I'm imitating mexican/spanish accent while I read the book.

It's a bit hard if you don't know how to understand other peoples language. Sometimes it annoys you that maybe you are the topic of what they are talking about, or just being paranoid there at the moment. We, or some of Filipino's know most of the words from spanish,

" Spanish was an official language of the Philippines since colonization by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi in the 16th century until the change of Constitution in 1973. The First Philippine Republic of 1899 chose Spanish as its official language, but during the US occupation and administration of the islands English was imposed and Spanish became gradually marginalized."

For it has been one of our official language then. Moving on, now that I am here in US, but still thanking that I even get to know English, which is the world's common spoken language. Eventhough I don't really listen or good when it comes to English subject, I still made my way in order to "understand" what it is all about.

Many Mexicans or should I say Hispanic race are here in US, it annoys a bit that they are residing here but most of them doesn't know how to speak one. I'll leave the reason to them. That's why Happy asked me to get this book. So I just glanced/scanned through it or w/e. Most of the jobs here are bilingual related as preffered but not necessary. So in order for me to get a good job, or at least high chances of getting hired, I need to learn how to speak one. Hopefully I learn much and improve my pinoy-spanish-common-language. heh..

¡Salud!

What a day..... Earth day... again?

Another boring day.

I woke up from sleeping like 5hours only. (counting) I slept 5am, so woke up 10am basically.
Shit, there's no milk.
Shit, there's no bread.
Shit, there's nothing to eat basically.

I had a few leftovers of bacon yesterday, yes, I eat some greasy stuff too. I deserve it (I think). and Half of salmon (like the one's in tuna cans). and iced tea.

Shit.... still no good. but I waited for 10mins in order my body to fully digest it and yeah, it was hell of a good breakfast.

Heaps of emails to reply onto. I can't even tell whom I replied with.
Job hunting online. Made a few phone calls, follow ups, inquiring and catching up.

Happy went out to check some houses. She found one, said it will be our new 2nd house, yet again... I didn't went with her. I just told her just get one, make sure I have my room. lol. That's how lazy I am in the house.

So MGM swimming got canceled. /facepalm uber hot outside. So we went to the bank instead and I deposited some savings... yeah it's a bit few but at least I'm earning.

Sidetracked, I has cheeseberger, and a Hot fudge sundae (so now I ate a chocolate), trying to limit sugar from now on tho, I found it's the same thing like drinking soda. 86º outside. Wore a tank, boardies, sandals, and oakley. woot finally I went out wearing just those on.

Work........ It's Earth day... Not-so-likey-manager is closing, Credit-card-junkie on front desk.
Half of the store lightings were off. A slow day.

'So you really are abandoning us' idk if I'll put that sentence ending up with "?" or a "."
*puts fake smile on and fake hello's" being asked by the manager. Like WTF, I already told you that and I know I wasn't suppose to answer those another rethoricals. But hey you asked me, I answer you. That how it goes.

Good thing time went fast at work. The slowliness driving us being on the floor slow too. I don't hold the conversation, I always agree, even if I don't want to.

Happy picked me up. Had some KFC's. Everyday it frustrates me not having a DL. I can't go to gym by myself. As much as I wanted to, I'll hit the gym every effing day. That's like my second place aside in front of this, typing. Watched new episode of GG. Nate,Chuck and I had a drink though they bailed me out too soon tho.

So that's it. another boring day, just killing time typing. Will hit the gym tomorrow morning for four hours, coolness..Good, I get A DAY off, at least I'll be expecting greens this coming friday + Ice cream, Our baseball team won again the second inning, thanks to CreditWhore lol. I'm smelling pizza next week, and subways.

Catch you all later.

Expeliarmus!

ROFL. It's so ON! July 17th, the latest installment of 8 movies from the best selling book by J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter - and the Half-blood Prince. I only read the book once so it's kind of blurred to remember what really happened on book 6. But I'm sure the movie will be hella good.

I want to see it on iMax so bad. But still going to look for the nearest one that has it, and saving the date of course. Latest trailer after the jump.

Coloring

I got bored, and tried to make a custom design for a shirt. I'm currently listening to Pepper band, a rock/reggae sort of like Urbandub/311/Barefeet of 805'...

I has looking for some good brushes but ended up downloading a new CS3 version of Photoshop. When I Googled 'photoshop brush' lot of sites were shown, and then I got redirected to deviantart.com and saw some tutorials.

I saw one on 'How to Color' section, and followed the instructions, tho the picture I has, isn't good but not bad for just practicing..

Here are the pictures that I ended up coloring.

Some of the first colors I put. (It was originally in black and white only)

I messed up some on this one but this is the first time I tried coloring and making it look like a cartoon-ey a bit.

So waddya reckon? I'm still looking to make a custom shirt, so if you want some, just send a tell and I'll try to make one for you...

I can also edit some pictures, and still playing around with photoshop just to enhance my skills.

Who loves TOFU?

Apparently a woman that lives in CO is. Just read. Video after the jump, it's funny!

DENVER -- One Colorado woman's love for tofu has been judged X-rated by state officials. Kelly Coffman-Lee wanted to tell the world about her fondness for bean curd by picking certain letters for her SUV's license plate. Her suggestion for the plate: "ILVTOFU."

But the Division of Motor Vehicles blocked her plan because they thought the combination of letters could be interpreted as profane.

Says Department of Revenue spokesman Mark Couch: "We don't allow 'FU' because some people could read that as street language for sex."

Officials meet periodically to ensure state plates stay free of letters that abbreviate gang slang, drug terms or obscene phrases.

The 38-year-old Coffman-Lee says tofu is a staple of her family's diet because they are vegan and that the DMV misinterpreted her message.

***
I would love to have that plate =)

Tomatoesss

Dancing baby tomatoes!
This kid has moves!



Is it me or he's also buffed too?
I only dance when I'm taking a shower with the radio on. LoLs. Epic fail. haha.
Hope his parent's show this on his 16th bday! ownt.

What do you think?!

Movies...

I'm guessing that everybody has seen one.
Watching a movie is just to kill time, have fun, cry, laugh, think, just to-be-with-someone-on-a-date excuse, at least for more people.
When I was back in CA, we used to watch a/2 movies a night, we go out and rent 2 dvd's, my cousin Keith and Renan are a member of this dvd rental (hollywood video I think) store. So whichever a good movie released on a dvd, we hire 'em. Setting up 'the Room', putting out the chips, turning on the subtitles (I sometimes don't get what they were saying so I need em on, and no, I'm not hearing impaired). There you go. To Drama, to Comedy, to Horror or Suspense, to Action or adventure, to Sci-fi or True-to-life, we all have seen one. For every movie we saw, we always makes a comment. These are my reviews, or comments to a movie I have recently seen, and feel free to leave one on what you think about that movie too.

I guess my prediction for Fast and Furious were right too. Went $72.5m on opening day. Sad I didn't have a chance to see it.

I did not really expected that to happen, from the 2001 casts to reunion this year 2009's. Sad I did not go to watch it on opening day. Now I am looking for it to see, and guessing to see it on DVD version or HD at least heh. So Chala, let's go watch it on DVD/HD when it comes out ok?

Now here's my list of movies to watch. (comment on this one, act like a movie critic!)

Watching Right now:
Ghost Town - it's a bit funny hey but I'm still in the middle part of the movie.


• Quarantine - Fill me in on this one.
• Lakeview Terrace - This one prolly be a good one.
• Quantum of Solace - Just so I can say "I've seen it."
• Death Race - another Jason's but dunno if this movie has sense.


Wish I see this on big screen

• Transformers, latest
• Harry Potter, latest also
• Fast and Furious - a No I think.


Movies I recently seen. (I'll update it every time I watch one)

• Prom Night - Hella suck.
• Twilight - I found it good but have to watch it in three sittings just to finish the entire movie. just like another-harry-potter-movie. but not really interested on reading the book.
• The Secret Life of Bees - It was ok. not bad not good.
• Max Payne - From the PC game, do not watch this one. It's just plain boring.
• Slumdog Millionaire - a really good one, definitely a must see movie! ok you can google it now.
• Marley & Me - for every one who owns a pet, at least. Also a good one, I confess, I cried at this one.
• Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - I'm calling it a teenage love, kind of so-so. If you liked Juno, you'll love this one too.
• SAW 5 - My 2nd Best Fave out of 5 SAW movies. The first one is the 2nd.
• Yes Man - I don't like Jim Carey, but this is a good one too, like 'Bruce Almighty'.
• Transporter 3 - Jason Statham's 3rd. Sort of a bond-movie-like, but in a different way, 3.5 stars.
• Role Models - OMG! So funny too! Recommended!
• Pineapple Express - High as a kite! unless you know how it feels, then watch it. 3.5stars for this one.
• Hitman - another from game-to-movie movie. Watch and see. It's a good one.
• Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 - A chick flick, I only watched it for Blake Lively is in it.
• Zack & Miri make a porno - Hilarious, if it pays the bill. I say go for the gold! 3.5 *'s
• Tropic Thunder - I slept on this one. Meaning I got bored. If I do sleep on a movie, meaning no good.
• Eagle Eyes - Jump Jerry! Lol. Really makes you think on what will happen next.
• Indiana Jones - A good comeback, maybe because I've seen it in High def 52 inches TV. 4stars

That's all I have for now... My Review's and To see list will be updated everytime. I only made a few review but feel free to ask if you want to know more about the movie, or fill me in.

Too Fast, yet again.

Fast And Furious: From Yahoo Movies...

When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto reignites his feud with agent Brian O'Conner. But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmanuever him. And from convoy heists to precision tunnel crawls across international lines, two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what's possible behind the wheel.

Just as I lost my license, came a new movie.
Fast and Furious, so furious that I can't even watch it on the movie house. I'm Guessing it'll be another hit. Well even if not it's not the 'not-another-car-racing' movie you'll see. Seeing that Vin Diesel and Paul Walker behind those wheels, (even in the last movie he showed up right before the ending) will definitely be a good one to see.

I can here the funky / techno / rock sound going on with that movie poster and trailer. Fast dope cars with hydraulics and nitrogen's blowing fire under those mufflers. pretty hot chic's chewing bubblegums and thumping. You don't get to see that everyday, at least for me.

Hitting the gym from a regular basis gets to know somebody who works out at same time of the night. We talked some random stuff and ended up with this movie. Though not always or haven't been to a movie house since like House Bunny I think, does not excite me to go to see another one (unless it will be shown in imax too). I'm saving my first iMax movie to the New Harry Potter, but if it'll be shown in one then yeah, I'm so down of going there.
