Pagkat puso'y mga plastik at de motor

Di Na Tayo Umiibig Tulad Noon
Rio Alma

Di na tayo umiibig tulad noon,
Dibdib nati’y walang init ng bituin
Pagkat puso’y mga plastik at de-motor.

Guniguni’y bantulot nang maglimayon,
Humihingal nang maglubig ng buhangin,
Di na tayo umiibig tulad noon.

Bawat liham na lagdaan ay may karbon,
Bawat sumpa’y kasunduang nakapapel,
Pagkat puso’y mga plastik at de-motor.

Natutuos nating lagi ang ginugol,
Halik nati’y patubuan kung isiil,
Di na tayo umiibig tulad noon.

Tanglaw nati’y hindi buwan kundi neon
Kung ibulong ang pagsuyo sa ‘sang motel,
Pagkat pus’y mga plastik at de-motor.

Kahit pusong umibig ngang walang-gatol
Hahatulan nating musmos o nabaliw,
Di na tayo umiibig tulad noon
Pagkat puso’y mga plastik at de-motor.

Yesterday was my father's 52nd birthday. Here is a little gift for him.

My friend's gift!

Success in advertising my wishlist!


My beautiful friend Karmela is giving me a watercolor pad. Hope I can draw/ paint beautiful things in there and won't end up giving up on it. I have a short attention span and this is the first time I put on a great interest in something (after my Super Junior fandom which is still on going but on a lower amplitude). Wish me luck on this new adventure I'm plunging in! Watercolor-ing! 


Well... Watercolor-ing sounds awkward.

The current state of my mind

Blogging because I am bored.


I am bored. My soul is withered. My brain must be dry and cracking. I blink twice as slow. I am left at home with my dad who is currently painting our baul (chest) because my dear handsome brothers chose to stay at my cousin's house. I don't know when will those two go back home (before christmas of course). But as I am the only "child" left at this house, I carry the burden of being told to do things. Clean this. Get that. (Omo, I am ranting)


I am currently reading Yakitate Japan!, one of the best mangas ever written. My intelligence level is rising every chapter I read. Intelligence level when it comes to cooking. Wow. I wish I could cook.


I have nothing else to say. Where art thou my intellectual juices? I guess I must revert to reading manga where no brain process is involved unless I really try to understand what is happening to the story.

My christmas wishlist

Christmas Wishlist!


Because I'm a parasite friend, I'm gonna ask everybody these gifts! If you love me (I know you do), you could choose any from these. If you're SEXY and you love me, you will give me all these gifts. Nyahahaha. WHAT UP. All my friends are sexy.


I'm just starting with using watercolor so all these stuffs are watercolor related. This is my cousin's fault. :-) We went to her house, she has a bahay kubo as her workplace. Me gusto! She has complete sets of Prang watercolors and paintbrushes. I realized I must start practicing with a medium already. To illustrate like Fifi Lapin with her cute bunnies is one goal I want to achieve. I'm really not good with handling brushes yet, so I want to practice! 


1. Paintbrushes
I didn't remember what brands my cousin were using, but if you know one (the type that retains its shape when wet and it's hairs doesn't fall off easily- in short they're a little bit more expensive), you could choose. I researched a little :-) Daniel Smith has watercolor brush sets, they are cheaper, and I wouldn't have to bother to look for brushes one by one. Plus I found this site where they sell Daniel Smith brushes a lot cheaper than the original, but I don't have an idea how to buy these. Maybe through credit cards? I don't have a credit card so... 


There is also Deovir Art Store located at the University Belt and this is the oldest art store in the Philippines. Guaranteed quality. Plus they also have rare craft tools so if you find something really rare, you could give me one too. Nyahahaha. They also have branches in SM North and SM Manila. 


And because I have no idea on the type of brushes, a set would be really convenient. :-)

2. WATERCOLOR (yehey!)
I might as well just follow what my cousin is using: Prang watercolors. If you check the site, the one on top: Prang© Oval 8 Watercolors would be really fine with me! :) 


3. Watercolor paper
Nuff said, I need a watercolor paper. Or, moleskin watercolor notepad. Or simply a sketchpad and it will make me very happy.




Again, the art supplies can be bought in Deovir Art Store.

4. Make-up brushes
I'm not brand specific with these because I bet I will not be using these very often. But, but, but, I want make-up brushes so badly! I found this set, only for 380 friggin pesos! 

5. Super Junior Mr. Simple album

Need I say more? ;;)


6. 1000 Ideas by 100 Manga Artists
This is a book I found at Fully-Booked. :-) And there are also copies in National Bookstore.

7. Cash
8. Personal letter


WOW! I've read everything from the top and I. am. so. demanding. Anyway, those who are reading this will only have a 10% of giving me a gift. I could demand all I want to the face of this screen.


Christmas sure is stressful! But it is the best part of the year! Everytime I see christmas lights in the street, I feel christmas. But more than all these decorations, I feel christmas the most with my family, right now, that we're finally together. Our little team is always awkward during bonding moments, but we sure could practice! :-)


And more than just receiving, christmas is all about giving. Let us pray for those who were affected by Bagyong Sendong. I have friends in the dorm who still have friends who are still missing. :( Amidst these challenges, I wish they will still feel christmas through the people who continuously pray for them.


Again, Happy Holidays!!!! Stay safe! Stay sexy!

I took a Personality Test. It seems accurate.

So I took this Jung Personality test. (Carl Jung is the founder of Analytical Psychology. Go google him!)


Here's my results!

ENFJ - "Persuader". Outstanding leader of groups. Can be aggressive at helping others to be the best that they can be. 2.5% of total population.

Oh ticker

Mark Zuckerberg is getting way too creative. Facebook has a new feature- the Ticker. Just within minutes of its existence, everyone is talking about this hasty star. It's hypnotic. You'll just have to look at it until it gets annoying. Oh it took me 5 minutes to get to that stage. I know you will too. So Mark, I suggest it will be a lot cooler if we could choose the people who's there in the ticker. Uhuh. Stalking made easier baby.
