as the year ends

i was surfing through the net just now due to insomnia. i checked all my online accounts. chen's post on multiply was a bit of a shocker.. turns out, ABS-CBN will be having a filipino version of twilight under the title, TAKIPSILIM. the characters will be protrayed by rayver cruz and shaina magdayao. --this just ticks me off!

Number one: Filipinos. we always copy everything. we literally translate titles of movies or shows into our language and call our very own. GOD!! don't we have originality?!

Number two: It's bad enough that the american movie sucked (sorry twilight fans) but it's even worse to make a crappy version of it. And how dare ABS-CBN create another version of the movie.. they don't have the right. they don't even have proper equipment to even equate to the cinematography and visual effects of the american version.

Number three: why can't we use our thinking caps to create a different storyline, a different concept, a different approach?! I know for a fact that filipinos are very much capable of making a better concept rather than what stephanie meyer had conjured up. this insults me a lot more being a filipino because it shows that we don't use the creative juices in us. just because it was a hit worldwide doesn't give anyone the right to have a version of the movie. and don't think that since it was a hit, creating another version would still be a hit. i just hope that ABS-CBN would use at least a morsel of their brain cells and cancel the damn thing. it would be a disgrace to all filipinos.


i surfed for this shit online and was able to go to perez hilton. there was a very long thread regarding this stupidity. i really wanted to post a comment but i realized, i rather rant everything i want to say here. SO:

1. to the racist americans that need to be bitch slapped: The Philippines is of the best english-speaking country in Asia. Koreans, Japanese and Chinese go to the Philippines to study english. So, having a filipino voice dubbed on the original american movie would just be idiotic. we can perfectly understand every line that was uttered in the movie... more than you guys do. (oops!)

2. shaina magdayao is way more sexy, good-looking and hot than that kristen stewart. GOD! one of the reasons why i didn't appreciate the movie was because the two main characters did NOT have chemistry. they needed to utter words for the movie goers to see that they had chemistry. shaina is one hot chick and could be able to replace kristen stewart for the american movie anytime. and shaina is only 19. and i believe kristen is way older than shaina. so, it's a no-brainer to know if she could be the part or not.

3. stephanie meyer described edward in the book as 'perfect." i was just shocked to see that edward was protrayed by a timid, malnourished guy. what is that?! did stephanie forget how she described edward?! i mean, she wrote the book, right?

4. by the way, americans are also fans of copying asian movies and claiming their own. so you racist americans don't act as if you do not do this idiotic things. for your common knowledge, aside from copying the ring and the grudge, there were also:
         the korean movie, Il Mare - the lake house
         the korean movie, My Sassy Girl - My Sassy Girl (elisha cuthbert)--which sucked below sea level
         the thailand movie, shutter - shutter (joshua jackson)
So guys, you better think twice in ranting about how asians copy/mimic american movies. your versions only had better sound effects and that's it. and by the way, your version of my sassy girl ruined the best love story of all time.

i have to straighten things up: i am NOT a twilight fan. Nor am i a TAKIPSILIM fan (HELL NO!). i'm just ranting about all this maybe because i don't want to have another "takot ka ba sa dilim?" --our very own version of "are you afraid of the dark?" i just want to promote originality and by that, the people responsible should stop all this bullcrap.  i truly belive that we, filipinos, are better than all of this. we have THE creative mind to create something better. i just hope that we use our heads more rather than on what's hip.

Pharmacology class



in the absence of something

it lurks in every being

if seeing is believing
then this entity disproves that saying

for when it attacks its prey
it never goes away.
         --boredom.

i made this while we were having our pharmacology class. God, i was soo bored that time. i didn't have the energy to even pretend that i was interested or even listening for that matter. the professor was soo boring (no offense, Dr. king). it's like this: the subject IS already boring at its entity and for a boring prof to lecture it.. well, you know what happens. i am still hoping for him to change his teaching ways. I mean, can't he notice that almost all of us are already droopy while he's having his lecture?!! haay..

life or something like it.

it's been ages since my last post.
 
honestly, i got tired of writing; expressing my thoughts. i would always end up in a lot of trouble. but, expressing oneself through cyberspace would be okay. ..just don't let meddlers read it. i really am saddened for the fact that i failed parasitology. humility aside, i do believe that i don't deserve such grade. i don't know why i got a failing mark. i have a hunch though. i think it's because i am picked upon my teacher. i am pissed off at her (our professor) because of what happened. even before my first steps in that school, i felt as though she does not like me. and worst part is, she was not my professor before. but since i am in a new school, i have to kiss ass to everybody. build a rapport. but all efforts were put into vain. because i was kissing ass to everybody, i was not able to realize that they were already abusing. ...not until now. not until everything has passed.

my experience in this new school i'm in is hell. honestly, i am not happy. i am not satisfied. i feel like a fish in the desert. but apart from all these crap i'm mumbling, i'm am still glad that i have friends there who really have a full grasp of the meaning of the word.

i just know, when tomorrow comes, i'll be in a whole lot of trouble. but i have to take the risk. i have to stand up for what i believe in. i just hope that everything would turn out the way my mom and i wanted it to be.


i like you.
can't you tell?
i like you.
don't you like me too?
i like you.
but i see you like another.
 

at least i knew sooner.
...so that it would not be crushed for one more time.

lost

Wrapped in fear and pain
She wandered endlessly into the unknown
Into the depths of despair and turmoil
Only dead air was her companion

Her eyes succumb with oblivion
Desperation was her only requiem
In destitute for subtle hope
Any sign of life was still unclear

Darkness cloaked her fragile entity
Her frail existence had already given up
Sheer vagueness was all that she could see
As the path was coming to its end

She stared onto the horizon
A bright light caressed her delicacy
Nearing to the end of her passage
She was en fathomed by it

She is home.
She is free.


dedicated to a friend.
i hope that you'll be able to surpass what you're going through right now.

bad memory.

i've been keeping this all of myself for quite some time now. and i don't know how to air it all out. but here goes..
a former classmate of mine informed me that one of our kabarkda sa classroom is one of the five summa cum laudes of the medical technology department. i felt sad after hearing about it. Don't get me wonrg; i am happy for them.. especially to the five people who garnered the title, SUMMA CUM LAUDE. I was sad because i am not part of their graduating class. i was SUPPOSED to be part of their batch.. but due to my stupidity, i was held back. and now, i am fuly regretting the stupidity i did. How did i get soo stupid? if only i hit the stop button and press rewind..

and due to my stupidity, i still have to wait for two more years.
when will i ever learn?


at the end of the day,

one thing is certain...

the things we burned in the fire,

could never be taken back...


not now, not ever.

"failure -the only word which epitomizes my whole existence."
