Oh god why is the idea of not doing anything so enticing to me. Why can't I just earn money from being so lazy. It's my greatest strengthhhh

Never will I ever lose you in my heart, boys

May mga gabi na mababaliw na lang ako dahil maagang uuwi ang ate ko at mainit ang ulo niya, magagalit sa lahat ng bagay na makikita, sisigaw, magbibitiw ng masasakit na salita, at malulungkot ako tuwing mapapakinggan ko yun, malulungkot kasi wala akong magagawa dahil kasalanan din naman namin, pero maiinis din ako kasi pare-pareho lang naman kaming pagod at tamad, mas masipag nga lang siya, at hinihintay ko na lang na kumalma siya pero matagal siya kumalma, marami muna siyang sasabihin, at mararamdaman ko na nakakapagod na lang mabuhay, na punung-puno ng problema ang mundo, na wala nang solusyon ang lahat, na hindi na bubuti ang kalagayan namin, na wala nang punto magpatuloy pa, pero maya-maya tatahimik si Ate, manonood ng TV na parang walang nangyari, at gugustuhin kong magpahinga at kalimutan na lang ang lahat pero may kailangan pa ring tapusin.

There are days when I imagine that my mother would have done other things aside from being a housewife, like, perhaps, working for a cafeteria--every time I buy food at the NIGS canteen I think of this--or perhaps she'd be selling siomai at one of those LRT stations, and I'd be visiting her there, buying as many siomai as I could, helping her earn, sharing them with her, waiting for her to pack up the stall so we could go home together after a stressful day. I would have wanted her to experience many things, stuff that I felt she's too scared to do. If I had enough money I would have taken her anywhere she wanted, places I knew we'd be happy to go. She's a great cook like most mothers, but it saddens me that I wasn't able to bring her to the best restaurants around. There's nothing I could do now but long for things we weren't able to do, things I wasn't able to provide for her.

I was asked to go to Melchor Hall today to send a document, and I passed by fourth and fifth floor, where I spent my first two years at UP. It was a good feeling walking down those hallways again, climbing up the stairs and seeing the posters on the bulletin boards, reminiscing some memories too soon to be forgotten.

Needless to say, this made me happy.

Well, I feel bad that my Hello Nasty CD, s secondhand copy I bought from an eBay seller, is skipping. Probably in the future, when I have extra money I'd buy the remastered one and hope that the disc won't skip anymore.

I've been listening to it in the past few days nonstop. It has my favorite MCA solo ("I Don't Know") and my favorite Ad-Rock solo ("Instant Death") and worse is that it skips on "Instant Death" and it kills me because Ad-Rock is talking about his mother and the freaking player or disc doesn't want to cooperate.

Anyway, I'll move on from this I guess. Soon--when I finally have money to buy a brand new copy. I hope a miracle happens one of these days and it plays perfectly crisp.

Having fun playing this collection of early Beastie Boys EPs called Some Old Bullshit.

Now look at that young MCA and Mike D!

The first impulse of any good film critic must be of reason.
