Beulah: Popular Mechanics for Lovers

I know he knocks you off your feet

Youre so bitter; you think hes sweet

Well hes wrong for you, I swear

Did you forget to read the script?

There was never a role for him

It was always you and me, just me

Popular mechanics for broken hearts could help me now

I know you never felt romance

And we always lack suspense

I can edit those parts out

I never made you feel complete

I've fallen beneath your feetI

would never bring you down, so down

Popular mechanics for broken hearts could help me now

Just because he loves you too

He would never take a bullet for you

Dont believe a word he says

He would never cut his heart out for you

I heard he wrote you a song

But so what

Some guy wrote 69

And one just aint enough

And theres so sense in him trying

I know cuz Ive been

Trying all the time to find a song that would make you mine

But all I ever find my love

Are cliches that dont rhyme

... ...

My not so lazy day

Its nice to be alone for a while. I miss this. The time I can just lie lazy around the house. I cooked up a snack, lie on the bed and watched series the whole day. At first I wanted to watch a movie. The movies Ms. Peanut brought me from Manila were still unopened. I'm waiting for my interest to sink back in. For now, watching Fringe was set for the whole afternoon. I only got 3 episodes left then I proceed to Numb3rs season 5.

The funny thing is, once I get started watching English TV series I'm stuck for about 3 months watching it. Especially during this months.I already finished at least 10 series since last month. Jdoramas will be at its peak months after that. For a while now it seems American TV series are the interest. Maybe after Numb3rs I'll go back watching Jdoramas. I already got a few in line.

I was planning to stay the whole day and pig-out, but was asked to do some errands. I tried to finish everything before lunch to unwind. The weather is crazy outside. It will very hot then for a few minutes rain pours real hard then back to scorching hot again. No wonder people in my country are going crazy.

I am craving for something but I cant put my finger on it. Been thinking about food while riding a jeepney but can't think of any. What is it about jeepney drivers or it was just my timing or random choices. I chose a very old jeepney to ride back home expecting the drive would be slow. I was not in a hurry to go home. I was still thinking about what is it I'm craving. i thought maybe the jeepney would have at least several stops before reaching my destination. If gone according to plan, it will take at least 30-45 minutes. And guess what, the jeepney got other plans. I was at home after 15 minutes. I didn't even get to decide what was I craving. So I settled for a "kropek". A fattening junk food and gulp down my hot water.

Manic Monday

When my mother asked me today to help my adopted brother to process his papers, I thought I could finish it half a day and spare some time to buy a gift for my godchild. I had missed his 2 birthday and 2 Christmas. I have to make-up something for it.He is a very cute kid, that's why I like him. (shocks.. CM mode????) His mother was my closest friend during college. Although people are asking me why I keep being friends with her when she turned out to be a total bitch. Well, I like upfront bitches. Who the hell are you to tell me who I should be friends with. Just because she doesn't agree with you, doesn't mean I should too. If I were to dump my friends because they have their flaws I will be friendless.

Anyway, the processing took more than what I anticipated. Damn DFA people. Rush means rush.. It doesn't mean after 14 working days plus delays. We were willing to pay. When we provided the required "royal blue" picture for the passport, it means royal blue, and not deep blue. They just wanted to charge us again with a cost times two than the local photo store. They should have said earlier that they will only accept photos that were processed in their lab. What will we do with the extra photos?.

We decided to let him take a trip to Manila to process his passport and his medical exams. We'll take 7 working days rather than the 14 plus delayed days. While purchasing a plane ticket, we were surprised by a constant tapping of the glass wall from the other store. They are selling plane tickets too. A girl was placed being the counter and every 10 minutes she taps the wall for several seconds just to catch the attention of the people in the other store then flash a cue card that they are selling much cheaper flight fare. She manages to entice some costumers over. I was thinking, How much will she make doing that the whole day? That would be a wonderful part-time job (haha..!)

Speaking of jobs, my former boss texted me today to remind me about my pressing deadline. The files are with me for a month now and I still haven't touched anything. June is a very hectic month for me. I have to pass the alum the 2nd week of July. Goodness, I almost forgot about Misyel's digital scrapbook. I lost my potential cash allowance because of this delay. I have to get what Sir Ricky owed me if I want to survive until the end of the month and think of new ways to get some money. Hopefully I will get another project. Thank goodness that Sir Jess still thinks that my designs are still worth it. 20 layouts by the next 2 weeks. Another sleepless night. I have to take time to watch my series.

I have to end this, I'll multi-task. I'll do my mother's class program then watch fringe at the same time..

STOP STEALING HARD-SUBBED AND SOFT-SUBBED FILES

Its been like what? months since I last visited and updated this blog? I have been busy with my friend's wedding that I didn't even got the chance to download any new episodes of jdoramas for a while. And I have been busy watching english series for a while (that will be another entry.)

Aside from not downloading, alot of fan-subbers have decided to slow down uploading english subbed episodes for there was an increasing problems of lechers and pirates of their work and uploading them in free video streaming websites even there was a strict prohibition from the subbers. These people keep on violating certain rules no matter how much leeway had been given to them to stop.

I propose that we shouldn't patronize any video streaming sites that steals hard-subbed files, distorting the text, and do not credit the original makers of the subs. Some and encoding soft-subs and claiming them as their own. i am not saying that we shouldn't watch them anymore, I watch some of those before since I didn't know how to download it and I am using the computers in internet stations. What I am saying is that its not a matter of not sharing, its a matter of respect to those who worked hard just to finish subbing and encoding the files for those who cannot understand the language. if they somehow decide to stop (which I hope not) I will be pretty pissed off myself. These selfish people will be the reason for so many who patiently download the series and follow the rules to be pissed off and be annoyed.

Let us try to respect those who work hard to sub our favorite dramas and animes. All fan-subbers do this for free so we can have the pleasure of watching. So I think their request isn't too hard for us to grant. They invested their hard days work on each video. If you want to upload the files, you can try subbing them on your own. Torrents also provides raw files. Because uploading someone else's work and claiming it your own is definitely sealing. Be ashamed of yourselves.

I love watching animes and jdoramas. I download them for collection. So please I appeal to these sites that we people who painstakingly await for the next episodes so we can watch series and anime rather than the crap shows on TV. This is one addiction that I can never stop. So please, if you got some morsel of morality in your system, try respecting their wishes. And just because you're a stubborn, selfish loser, you don't have to make others miserable and pay a sacrifice for their own viewing pleasure.

Caribbean Shower: the tale of the neon underwear

"Careless whisper", originally done by George Michael, had been revived a dozen of times by different artist. There were several versions of the songs that I sometimes found appalling. But from now on, whenever I hear that song, I kept seeing a neon underwear dancing under a dim light.

It was my so-called "best friend since high school" shower party. I was helping her with her wedding. A friend of ours from high school suggested that we will have a shower party. Give her one last singlet's party before tying the knot with her super jealous boyfriend. I don't know, we were never really close.

We planned to have an overnight stay at a local resort called the Caribbean, where they have pools and slides. We wanna take a dip. I have not swam for a while. Ms. F came a little early to decorate the room with her current "boyfriend" and her son with elongated balloons that shaped like a dick for some reason to commemorate the shower. She also added some ribbons for effect.

I took Ms. Peanut with me. we were still working with the tags for her wedding favors. I was not really up to my fullest interest with the shower. But I think It was up to us to brighten the mood for the party. Ms. F and I talked things over while we were at the pool. We wanted to know if the groom will somehow pop-up during the party. We are mulling things over if we are to get a stripper for her. That's a requirement for a bridal shower right? But the thing was, we were lacking money. A few of the bride's friends arrived and I went to ask if they were planning something for the bride. I should have known, there were there for the food and to be entertained. I suggested that if they agree that we will get a stripper for her, well just have to chip-in some cash enough to pay for the stripper. But in the later end, I end up paying almost half the fee. Some had excuses not to pay.

We dimmed the lights, no, the stripper came out from the bathroom, we didn't have the time to dim the lights. he danced to the tune of careless whisper.Everybody except me screamed. ( I had my share of scream the first time I watched a stripper thanks to my friend. At least that stripper was easy on the eyes, this one, was no where near that.) Every body in the room were first timers except me and Ms. F cheated and went with her boyfriend and her son outside the room.

The stripper suggested that we dim the lights. Of course, with all the commotion, we forgot to dim the lights. He went to the bathroom to strip his jacket. (whats with this amateur strippers!!! The concept was to strip in front of us for entertainment and not inside the bathroom.) He went out and started to dance in the tune of "Insomnia" He was now bare chested (as if.. he got no abs, goodness, was this the best we could find??) Then he started to feel himself which is very eerie. He went back again to the bathroom to strip his pants. With all the lights off except at the bathroom, which was left ajar to emit some light, he stepped out in his underwear and to our shock, he was wearing a neon brief. Not the tight fitting brief with a one and a half garter that carried the name of the brand, he was wearing this ridiculous garterized brief that was quite loose and whenever he feels himself, he keeps exposing his scrotum. Sometimes he pulls it down just to show the crack of his butt while dancing in the tune of "womanizer". He asked if we could tip him and pin the bills in his underwear. The neon underwear that he was wearing. We could barely see him in the lights for his skin tone was dark. All you can see in the dark was the underwear glowing while dancing all around. He danced again to the tune of careless whisper. All i can see was the underwear floating from one place to another. I didn't give any tip. I was not satisfied with the dance. I don't care if he has a quota. The dance was only for 30 minutes since that's the length of time we can afford then we went back to the slides and the pool. It was a 30 gruesome minutes but all for the entertainment of the bride

Wait, back flash.. before the the stripper. Since I was wet, I swam before the bride arrived, I asked her if she can keep my phone for a while since I was wet. In the end she forgot that she had my phone, went to the bathroom, dunked the phone at the water closet while changing to her swimsuit. I end up loosing my phone that night.

I really want to go home that night especially I spend a big amount of cash for no reason. I was bankrupt. But I cant. We spend the rest of the night videoke. I didn't get to sleep, and I went home at dawn. It was not a very fruitful night. Plus my mind was forever stamped with the neon underwear that dance to the tune of careless whisper.
