Why I posted this?

As an avid fan of pop music, well, of course, the iPod and the Walkman ear plugs always find their way to my earlobes. And since I was a kid, I've always embedded current events (which later become memories) into popular songs by that time. For example, every time I listen to Nick Carter's 'Do I Have to Cry for You', I've always found myself reminiscing about my gradeschool years (because during the famous run of this song, I was in gradeschool).

Get it?

Good. XD

So if you watch this video, it's like looking back into the year that has passed. Well, for me, at least.

Sabi nga nila, WHAT A GREAT '08.

Happy New Year everyone. =)

MARJONLANDIA: Adventures in the Golden Tiger Castle (A Three-Part Christmas Special)

Well, eto ako. You havent heard of me since the Caviar Mayhem.

Kamusta nga ba ang Christmas ni Margaro Jonathanne Enriquez?

A Very Special Christmas (Part 1)

That is.. If 'bad' or 'disastrous' is special.

I. Paskuhan - the Best Christmas Party Ever

Why don't we start with..(drumrolls) PASKUHAN!!!

Hay nako ordinary day na nman. Ang lamig ng tubig. So I'll just stare at the pail of water. Next thing I knew. Nakaligo na ko.

Booring.

Tapos nakita ko yung nephew ko. Sabi niya may raffle daw sa kanila for their Christmas Party kaya bigyan ko daw siya ng singkwenta pesos. And then I smiled. Sh*t. Christmas Party rin namin!

As in totally nakalimutan ko talaga, so excited ako.

Dali-dali nagbihis. At pumunta na school.

9 AM daw pala magkikikita-kita.

After one hour, nagsidatingan ang mga hayup. NAKOW talaga napakareliable na talaga ng Filipino time nowadays.

Para sa mga di alam kung pano magcompute ng Filipino time. Youve landed on the right blog!

Time Announced + 60 minutes = Filipino Time

Hahaha natatawa nga ako eh. Yung isa kong blockmate, kumakain pa daw. 10 AM na. Relax lang.

So siguro kapag in-announce ng NASA na 7 PM lalabas ang meteor shower sa Pinas. 8 PM mag-si-si-tingalaan ang mga tangang Pilipino. Proud to be Pinoy!

So ayun, nung nagkita kita kami sa UST. Dumaan sandali yung former English prof namin at nakigulo tapos we zoomed to Trinoma na.

So I was at Kara's car; I should navigate daw kase. Her driver doesn't fucking know how to get to Trinoma. Well, sa buhay ko? Never ako naging yung navigator. Parang kumbaga sa buhay, ako yung passive type. Well, sa kotse, ako yung nasa likod. Nakikinig ng music. Nakatingin sa labas. Namomroblema kung sasabog ba yung kotse o hindi. Pero again, hindi ako EMO.

SO yun na. Well, Di ko naman talaga kasi kabisado. All I know is. You get to Espana Blvd then diretso and make a kaliwa. Haha! So Conio!

Sabi ni Ench (yung kumakain pa sa bahay kahit 10 AM na):

'Bro, di ba dadaan sa Quezon Memorial Circle nun?'

Boom! That could only mean one thing. Dadaan kami sa scariest street in Metro Manila.

ANG ELLIPTICAL ROAD! AAAAAA!

Ang gulo kaya ng road na yun. Kaya nga di namin namalayan na dalawang beses na kami umiikot, di namin alam kung san kami lalabas! Tandang Sora? Commonwealth? Walang Trinoma! PAKING SHET.

Pano ko nalaman kung san lalabas? Simple lang. Ang alam ko kasi ang Trinoma ay nasa harap ng SM North EDSA. May salitang NORTH sa North EDSA. Kaya ang unang street na may makita akong word na NORTH, okay na yun!

HAHA at tama naman ako. Sa North Ave kami lumabas. And hello Trinoma!

Kumain lang kami. Nag-exchange gift. Nanggulo ng Food Court at nanuod ng Four Christmases. Nagkape. Nag-NBS. Nagsihiwalayan. At nagkita-kita sa USTe.

Ang gandaa ng fireworks! So iniisip ko na. Wait. Meron palang party sa bahay nina Jell. Too bad. Baka di ako payagan so di na lang ako pupunta. Pero gusto ko talaga pumunta. To go or not to go? To-go or dine-in? Ano?!?!

Bago pa ko makapagdecide, kinaladkad ako ng friend kong si DJ along with Ana and Arjo papunta sa bahay nila. All-expense paid trip daw! Magpapaka-choosy pa ba ko? GO na!

Medyo napansin namin na traffic. As in kung titingin ka sa horizon, dun mag-eextend ang pila ng jeep. Naghanap kami ng pinaka-most-likely makakaescape agad sa traffic. Sa sobrang enjoy namin sa paghahanap, kulang na lang nakarating na kami sa bahay ni DJ.

Pero sumakay pa rin kami. Sosy eh.

So tumambay muna kami dun at kumain ng spaghetti and uminom ng Coke Sakto.

That reminds me. Galit ako sa Coke Sakto. Kasi kumbaga sa mga sizes ng Coke. Sya ang pinakamapagpanggap. Impostor!

Bakit? Bakit i-c-claim mong sakto ka kung hindi naman? Di ba tinawag siyang Sakto dahil Limang Piso! Singkong Duling! Five Pesoses!

San ka ba nakakita ng 5.50 na sakto? Para mo na ring sinabing ang lahat ng buhok mo ay black! Pero alam mong may puting buhok ka! Impostor!

Grabe ang disappointment ko. Saktong Lima tapos may dalawang bentesingko pa. Parang nagtaxi ka tapos tuwang tuwa ka at nagtatatalon ka dahil saktong P100 ang metro dahil P100 lang ang natira sa allowance mo. Pero bigla kang matitigil dahil may P10 COMPULSARY TIP pala!

Hay. Haggardness.

Anyway back to Paskuhan.

After nun sumayad sa utak namin na mag isang shot ng Tequila. Pero maarte nga kami so kelangan ng salt, water etc. Grabe ang sarap utusan ni DJ. Parang fetish. Haha!

After nun, pumunta muna ko bahay namin para sa Moment of Truth. Papayagan ba ko o hindi? Si Pacquiao ba o si de la Hoya? Si Marky Cielo ba o si Didith Reyes?

Unti-unti akong lumapit sa pinto ng kwarto ng tita ko.
Unti-unting binuksan ang pinto.

Nakita ko tita ko. then yung sister ko. tapos may lumabas ng banyo. Ay TAE! Nakalimutan ko! Andito na pala Lola ko!

Kasi kung sa Tita ko. Party until 10 PM only. Sa Lola ko, NO PARTY AT ALL!

Pero wuh? All of a sudden, nagbago ang ihip ng hangin.

Before I could open my mouth, my Tita told me.

"If you have a party then fine. Just dont get drunk. And don't tell Mommy (Lola)"

Woohoo! I was jumping for joy! My God! Bukas na ba ko mamamatay?

When I went to USTe to tell the news, I paused. Time stood still. I stared blankly for a few seconds and sat..

-rjon-

MARJONLANDIA: Adventures in the Golden Tiger Castle (the Grand Finale)

I should leave now.

I really should.

Unfortunately, the adventure has come to its end.

I guess.

Last Friday was one of the worst Christmas parties ever. Really.

I was supposed to have the best day of the year.

But this.

They give me THIS.

The WORST DAY of the year.

This is even worse than when I was not allowed to go to the Alumni Homecoming.

You are your life's protagonist. And every scene in this story called life, every second, there will always be an antagonist. One may give up this role but another one will immediately succeed the former.

Honestly, I am so not over this.

What would you feel if you leave a 'DX' comment on a friend's page and then your friend says, 'uhm'?

I overanalyze people.

I know what that person's trying to say.

This person just got tired of me, whining.

They deserve the whine.

Where did I put that emoticon? On the page where the person put the photos of their oh-so-merry christmas party.

Bitterness? Indeed.

And then the person put. Uhm.

Uhm.

Uhm.

Let's talk about another person. This person is the one I reaaaally hate. Ive never felt so much anger and hatred in my life.

Why I hate this person?

Because this person makes everything so difficult. Everything. He took my friends. He took them. Those 'friends' would deny, of course. That's what normal people do. If they're doing this for me not to get hurt, what they're already doing hurts me. Well, I'm not normal. I know what youre trying to do.

Fakers.

Wag nyo pilitin na makisama saken. Alam kong napipilitan kayo.

Pity.

Pity may be one reason. Cause I have this and I have that.

'Gusto ka namin makasama'

But I do believe in the saying:

'Kung gusto, may paraan, kung ayaw, may dahilan'

No one fucking called me.

No one. Not even a fucking miscall.

Alibi: Network's crappy. The

My English teacher needs help. Please read.

We'll be here right beside you through this all, Sir.

From his blog:

I am seriously in need...of help. My mother needs to undergo a major operation. She has brain tumor and it has compressed a part of her brain. She has shown behavioral changes and we're honestly scared she'll totally go insane. The doctor will be scheduling the operation as soon as the family decides.

Any help will do. I really don't have the means, being the only working child. Please help me raise the needed amount (more than half a million pesos).

I hope it is not too much to as you for anything.

Please contact me through this message or email me at gurugeri@yahoo.com for anything.

Thanks so much! May God be with all of us.

Twilight (Tagalized and Summarized) -->Funny!

Just watched it last night because I was forced by my ate's. Haha. Pero overall, not bad. I'm still a hater of the book, though. =)

So, eto na, a friend sent me a link to this.

Grabbed from chocolea.multiply.com who grabbed it from someone else.

kasi pare ganito daw yun. may isa daw babae na hot daw pare. pero maputla siya kasi hindi
siya inalagaan ng nanay niya pare. tapos pare emo daw siya kasi nga daw hindi siya mahal ng mundo at para siyang patay na bata na galit sa mundo. tapos pare, lumipat daw siya ng tirahan kasi daw masyado daw siyang emo para sa luma niyang tirahan. sabi niya sa nanay niya "tangina mo nay gusto ko lumipat kay tay". tangina pare hindi nagalit nanay niya. sabi lang ng nanay niya "tangina mo pare wag ka magmura".

so lumipat siya sa tatay niya di ba? pagkarating niya dun sabi niya, "tangina erpat bakit maulan dito?" sabi ng erpat niya "gago "bur" months na! malamig na tangena". so nagtaka yung babaeng simula ngayon ay tatawagin na lang nating "babaeng maputla at emo".

so pumasok siya sa school di ba? binigyan siya ng truck ng tatay niya pare. sabi ng tatay niya "tangina mo sa'yo na tong truck ko". sabi niya "salamat tay".

pagkarating niyang school tsong, may nakita siyang lalaking mukhang bangkay pero pogi. sakto. pogi pero mukhang bangkay. sabi ni babaeng maputla at emo "hot pare".

nung chem lab na ni babaeng maputla at emo, natagpuan niyang lab partner niya yung poging bangkay. so nung tinignan siya nung poging bangaky, ang asim ng mukha nito. mukhang nandiri ata kay babaeng maputla at emo.

sabi ni poging bangkay "tangina mo". sabi ni babaeng maputla at emo "tangina KA". sabi ni poging bangkay "tangina NIYA oh *tumuro sa teacher nila*". sabi ni babaeng maputla at emo "oo nga noh. TANGINA MO". sabi ni poging bangkay "tangina mo gago bampira ako". tapos naghubad siya ng damit at kumintab ang katawan niya kasi linagyan niya ng glitters ang abs niya kasi tigas siya at ganun na ang mga tigas ngayon na nagpupuntang emba.

so pare na in love si babaeng maputla at emo kay poging bangkay. si poging bangkay naman sige lang kasi sex din daw yun. so ayun. angshweet shweet nila.

"eow poh... ahihihihi"

"bebe mwahugz,..... ^^,"

so tapos nun nagpunta sila sa damuhan kasi.... alam mo na. tapos sabi ni poging bangkay "ikaw na buhay ko ngayon" sabi ni babaeng maputla at emo "tangina mo gago patay ka na". sabi ni poging bangkay "TANGINA KA".

tapos nagsex sila

so basically pare yun lang yung mga importanteng nangyari sa buong storya. intense noh? kaya pala nahhook lahat ng tao. akala ko overrated. hindi pala. astig pala. parang estorya ni jesus christ pero may mga bampira. mas astig. alam naman natin ang basic equation ng pagkacool.

May pagka-inaccurate pero to hell with that, it sure is funny!
