Influx of Hodgepodge
Sounds like the title of an awful rockband, doesn’t it? I feel the same way about "Quantum of Solace", by the way.
How about a jazz song before we begin?

First, a shout-out, yet again (well, two). I found a blog called "Voice of the the Filipinos".
It is unrelated to Chavit Singson, incidentally and thank-God-a-lly. Go
and bookmark it. Better yet, memorize the link. It’s simply
www.tingog.com. Amazangly easy to remember for those who know that Tingog
is the vernacular for voice. Ilonggo in particular. Bisaya too,
perhaps. Man, me and my unnecessary rodomontades. Anyway, it’s an
newspaper’s editorial kind of blog, which means the author, nick,
writes the current events of the Philippines and his thought about
them, duh! The same thing applies to another one with a hilarious title
"Tongue In, Anew". Unfortunately, the latter’s updates are few and far
in between. I’m not a fan of the "update your blog everyday" mindset
(really, that’s stressful), but, for an author as well-spoken as
Tongue’s, he sure could post his views more frequently. Like, once a
week.
Anyway, both blogs are in my dope list. Why? Coz they dope, yo!
I also frequently visit Ramblingvirus’s blog. I’m sure this is a
description that will incite the cringing from all blogosphere cracks -
collective idiots in other words - but I sure do like to make people
suffer, so (PLEASE DO NOT CLICK THE BACK BUTTON): He’s kind of like a
more levelheaded me. Hahaha! Or am I merely a more colorful he? Well,
one thing is for certain, I ramble on for far longer than he does, for
better or worse. Or should I say, nolens volens? Damn Latin words sure
do make people sound smart. I’m being facetious.
Which reminds me, dictionary.reference.com, a site that I frequent, told me of some new killer app they cooked up: The reverse dictionary!
The reverse dictionary lets you go from a
concept/idea/definition to words and phrases used to describe that
concept. You can enter a single word, phrase, or a few words and hit
the "Reverse Search" button.
Alas, it’s not as killer as I hoped. For one, I don’t get results
when I reverse search "monkey’s ass", "superman dat ho", "ninja",
"zombie", "douchebag" and "light sabers". Lamers. Heck, I reverse
searched "crime" and didn’t get PGMA as a result, and not even Dubya.
Good grief, anyone who don’t tag "crime" with them are LEARNING
IMPAIRED! Bah, Urban Dictionary ftw!
It sure do sound like a happy day for me. It is. I mean, I don’t
have a lot of reasons to be happy and perhaps not having a date in Feb
14 should make me bitter, being enmeshed in the season of hearts alone yet again and
all, but I’m just happy. The simple reason being, I slept early
yesterday. Yay! Sleeping early is always a better way to revitalize,
better anyway than drinking tons of caffeinated drink so as to operate
like a zombie-panda with the breath of Raul Gonzales and Miriam
Defensor Santiago (damn, that oughta be fragrant!). I hope everyone
still remembers that.
Get a Play-Doh and bring it to work. It’s cheap (P20 only) and it’s
good for you - what better way to relieve stress than to apply pressure
on such protean plaything?
Lastly, here’s a pointless IM Conversation:
Me: I just went to Shanghai.
Dude: What’s that?
Me: (SERIOUSLY??!! but, kept composure): It’s a city in China.
Dude: O.
Dude: So did you get to see Shaolin Monks doing kung fu.
Me: No, no fancy kung fu for me.
Me: The thing I’ve seen that came closest to that was some fancy Crouching Tiger flying.
[Note: I’m not lying.]
Dude: Awesome!
Me: But too bad, I didn’t get to see bald guys breaking stuffs with their head
Me: And getting chronic migraine for the rest of their lives.
