Not A Paid Post On Stick-O

A brittle stick about less than a foot long, made of flour, and filled with chocolate stuff inside. Everybody is crazy over it. But you cannot really blame everybody. Even I…I’m being captivated by its addictive taste. The way it caresses my taste buds to heaven — like I don’t wanna escape its tasty cylindrical body. Every bite is more than a pail of water, killing the flames of craving inside me. Yeah, it’s the stick we all want to bite…

No…not that stick! The other kind of stick…

Yeah! That one! Anyway…my sister was eating ten sticks of Stick-o about three hours ago. My mom asked for a stick but there were already none — my sister had already consumed everything. No sticks left for mom. Mom was on the verge of craving during that moment so she gave me some coins and asked me to buy her ten sticks of Stick-o in the nearest sari-sari stores. I went out…looked for ten sticks of Stick-o in the nearest sari-sari stores as what mom’s behest. But I came home with the coins, still locked inside my fist.

We were drowned in a flood of great depression — my sister already bought all of the Stick-os wherever sari-sari store she got ‘em…and there were nothing left for us.

I can hear the microscopic cells of my tongue shouting for Stick-os. I can feel my gastrointestinal tract’s pain of wanting to digest some Stick-os.

Nothing can ever, ever, ever, ever, ever replace how I thirst for you, oh, my dear Stick-o. I offer you this post. No matter how nonsensical this is. No matter how absurd I write this. No matter how poor your nutritional value is. What’s significant is that you’re still my favorite among all of the foods available in a sari-sari store. And…you’re still cheap despite of the economic crisis in this country. I’m still gonna itch after you no matter what.

Let’s Get A Bit More Personal

Mother’s Day
Last Sunday was mother’s day and I was feeling kinda guilty because I never got anything for my mom. But at least, a nice “Happy Mother’s Day!” kinda wiped out my guilt…even just a bit.

I’m Not Crazy, I’m Just A Little Unwell (I hope…)

Well I’m not crazy
I’m just a little unwell
I know right now you can’t tell
But stay a while and maybe then you’ll see a different side of me*

My mom recently told me that I’ve been acting kinda weird lately and that I have a lot of secrets they don’t know. She even asked,

Ano ba yang pinagtata-type mo sa computer?

I was blogging during that time. I shrugged and said the classic palusot, “Wala lang”. She than answered,

Kaya hirap kaming intindihin ka eh. Ang dami mo kasing sikretong tinatago samin…

Yeah, she’s right. They do misunderstand me in a lot of ways…and I do have a lot of secrets I don’t tell them. Just like this blog you’re reading right now. My parents don’t know anything about this.

I don’t know if they know that I blog (or do they even know “blog”) or anything about this blog. In my whole three years of blogging, I never told my family anything about my “cyber life”. Besides, I won’t give a damn to let them read my blog.

This, perhaps, is the only thing that separates myself from my physical being. I mean, everybody sees me as me — a five foot (and some inches) guy, apparently hanging on the hell of puberty. I consider myself different from what I am outside than to what I write about myself on this blog. And I don’t want my family to know the other side of my being. I don’t know. I’m really baffled.

…And that’s why I think I’m crazy.

And if you’re really curios of who I am, you just simply have to come in here, read some stuff and that’s it — that’s who I am. And that’s all I can offer. Paradoxically, I don’t know that much about myself. Maybe somebody knows better of who I am than I do. But as much as I can, I put down everything I have in head on this thing we all call blog. And so far as summer is concerned, this blog is the only thing that keeps my systems running (except for food, that is).

I really feel empty right now. But ironically, my mind is full of things. I really don’t know what they are. But I always keep on thinking about ‘em. Gaahhh…I am crazy. I swear I am.

A Whatever American Idol Post

The Top 4: (L-R) David Cook, Syesha Mercado, Jason Castro (eliminated), and David Archuleta

Jason Castro, the funky-looking-hair guy from Texas literally packed his suitcases and left American Idol, leaving behind the top 3: David Cook, David Archuleta, and Syesha Mercado. Whatever. Now these are my opinions on whatever the finals might be…

DAVID vs. DAVID
I bet it’s gonna be David vs. David since these two are really great. They have a very tough competition between them. They both have the fans, they both have great voices and they both impress teh judges. And hey, so far, these two guys didn’t experience how it’s like to sit in the stool and be part of the bottom group. Between these two dudes, I really don’t know who’s gonna win. And whoever wins, America really did the right decision…these two are great, man!

DAVID COOK vs. SYESHA
But Syesha still has hope, others say. Some think that it’ll be David Cook vs. Syesha Mercado. Apparently, Syesha has been doing good lately…and uh, she’s been singing so hot since the Andew Lloyd Webber week where she sang “One Rock’n'Roll Too Many” and received compliments from the judges. Randy said she could be a huge Broadway star, Paula said that she brought the house down, and Simon thought it was very sexy. And about David Cook, nothing much to say about him. I just think every time he performs, he just always go there, right on the stage and the whole singing thing just comes off really fantastic. Specially when he does his arrangements and stuff.

Syesha really improves very hot and David’s great. She can do a really amazing performance. I mean, she’s a great singer and she has a very fantastic voice and she can really out sing David or the other David.

SYESHA vs. DAVID ARCHULETA
I don’t know. Maybe same as what I’ve written on the DAVID COOK vs. SYESHA.

….

The finale’s gonna be on May 20. I know that these three will do good on the finale. And whoever wins, I think he/she really deserves it.

(Those are just pure opinions. You have your own. Stick to it.)

Now this time, blame Jazmine. Hehehe.

Synchronicity

School is almost a month away but I still cannot really believe it. I mean, I haven’t really enjoyed the hell of summer and I’m still complacently lying in the comfortable bed of boredom and laziness. Seriously. I really enjoy being spoiled by my parents and they don’t know how much I thank them for that. Lol.

But I’m feeling kinda rude because I cannot give my mom anything for mother’s day. Well I hope she’ll understand that it’s friggin summer and I don’t have money (unless she’s gonna give me some dough to buy her a gift or something…I think that’ll be nice. Hehe).

I watched The Number 23 starring Jim Carrey and a bunch of actors namely, I-Don’t-Know-Who, I-Don’t-Know-Who, and I-Don’t-Know-Who on HBO yesterday. The Suicide Blonde is kinda hot though. Anyway, It was definitely a kickass movie with a whole bunch of 23s in it. What the hell is about the number 23 (literally…not the movie) anyway?

I researched it yesterday, right away after watching the movie. And I found out that there really is an enigma on teh number 23. For some, they believe that 23 is a “death number”. Well, whatever.

• Each parent contributes 23 chromosomes to the DNA of a child.
• It takes 23 seconds for blood to circulate throughout the entire body.
• In humans, the 23rd chromosome determines gender.
• There are 23 letters in the Latin alphabet.
• Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times when he was assassinated.
• Earth’s axis is off by 23.5 degrees.
• The Knights Templar had 23 Grand Masters.
• William Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564.
• William Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616.
• The ancient Egyptian and Sumerian calendars begin on July 23.
• The Titanic sank the morning of April 15th, 1912 (4 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 1 + 2 = 23)
• The Mayans believed the world will end on December 23, 2012 (20 + 1 + 2 = 23).
• John Dillinger robbed 26 banks, but only 23 for money.
• The distance from the center of Mars to its nearest moon is 23,500 km.
• 230 people died on TWA Flight 800.
• Kurt Cobain was born in 1967: 1+9+6+7 = 23.
• Kurt Cobain died in 1994: 1+9+9+4 = 23.
• Charles Manson was born on November 12th (11 + 12 = 23).
• The Number 23 opened in theaters on February 23rd, 2007.

Spooky, eh?

Yesterday, I suddenly got interested on synchronicity and coincidental stuff. I dunno. Maybe because of the movie and a lot of really spooky coincidences I read on the net yesterday. There were also these Lincoln-Kennedy coincidences that you wouldn’t believe that they’re true. Well here they are and oh, have a history teacher to explain this — if they can…

Looking at this image makes me feel really creeeepy.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln ’s secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy’s Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named ‘Ford.’
Kennedy was shot in a car called ‘ Lincoln ‘ made by ‘Ford.’

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here’s the kicker…

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe.

Seriously, I’m looking for synchronicities in my life — just like the number 23 on Walter Sparrow (Jim Carrey) on The Number 23 movie. Well whatever those maybe, they should make sure that they won’t get me insane and make me end up jumping off my bedroom window. I’m acrophobic.
