malayo pa ang birthday ko but then iniisip ko san

ko siya pwedeng i-celebrate… hmm…

well first and foremost i should go to church, last year i celebrated it after resigning from work. (uhmm call that ironic i was a bum celebrating my birthday)

hmm just a thought would i remember my birthday 5 years ago? ok july 8 2002 where was i… strange di ko na maalala wait iisipin ko ulit.. (floyd made esep esep) syet di ko na maalala waaahhh if somebody out there remembers pakisabi lang sakin…

There goes my theory thatmy brain automatically flushes out bad memories with them good syet!

Which brings back to why i created this blog in the first place it is to remember places and events that i would normally forget.

Thats how wonderful the mind really is. but then i dont know if you can call it a tragedy on my part.

Some people have the gift of not forgetting everything that happened to them and yes they might score well academically and sometimes they do remember people very well that its sometimes weird but one of them a smma cum laude in U.P. diliman psychology once said that she wishes sometimes that she would forget some things rather than remember everything.

(plugging Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind)

sometimes memories are as weird as dreams themselves and sometimes i have to agree that i cannot differentiate a memory from a dream sometimes that i have to look back at this blog for more scientific truth of the experience.

ewan ko di ko na talaga maalala ang 2002 uhmm maybe not everything.. lemmesee around that time i was still in college yah my batchmates already graduated and i was doing my internshit! hahaha but that was around april so… around may and june… hmm.. and july… may pasok na nun im sure… monday siya (kakatingin ko lang sa cellfone ko)

so it was monday.

uhmm thats weird i really can’t remember… syet…

aw this sucks…

anyway thats it maybe ill get to remember anything before the day ends hahahaha

so going back to my senseless meanderings… im gonna write what i want this coming july and thank God its a sunday hehehe

siguro kain lang sandali tambay medyo inom hmm.. ano bang gusto kong gift?

for myself? uhmm.. il give.. uhmm wala rin akong maisip… uhmm.. syet hirap.. uhmm… ju-jitsu gi na lang hahaha pero potek ang mahal nun mga around 7k! (uhmm floyd ano ka ba ang pinakamahal na nabili mo para sarili mo eh around 8k lang)
pero cellfone yun jusme hehehe

hala sige hanap pa ng iba how about a new fone or shoes hehehe adidas samba rulezz!!!(90’s boy talaga)

well ayos yun around 3k won’t hurt unless nature make its yet natural cycle of poverty for me which whenever i get to have some extra money i need to buy or spend on something na ubod nang mahal grrrr

so what else… how about travel… uhmm bahala na hehehe basta ganun!

nakakapagod magsulat tungkol sa sarili mas nakakapagod pa kesa magsulat tungkol sa mga issues sa bansa hahahaha

DEFTAC GRACIE JIU-JITSU

Posted by upoytao on May 26, 2007


Logo of our gym


Me and my mentor URCC Champion Jerome Lepiten

tagal nakong di nakakapagsulat.
sobrang busy as in sobrang busy.

MWF i go to play ju-jitsu (if kumpleto sa tulog but usually bumibigay na katawan ko by friday

hehehe)
TTH i go to the gym (and sometimes play ju-jitsu)
sAT work
SUN pahinga

ok so ganun ka hectic ang sked ko at literaly wala na akong social life.

Naabutan ko na lang ang pinoy big brother at bandila pag patapos na. (sowee maka abs-cbn yung tita ko eh hehehe)

So aside from enjoying the last hour of my day before dozing off or going into insomniac mode i usually think about the things that happened that day and sometimes of the things that i missed.

its been almost a year na ang buhay ko eh naka center sa ju-jitsu ewan ko ba i just love

ju-jitsu.

not that i love hurting people and believe me ako na yata ang pinakamabait na player dun aside from richmond and ly, pero talagang nakakaadik ang ju-jitsu.

(syet mahaba na ang nasulat ko kanina nang biglng mamatay ang computer ko potek!!!)

Ok so just to give you an idea of what brazilian ju-jitsu is all about.
Let me summarize it in three words:

TAP
YOU
OUT

the idea behind brazilian ju-jitsu is that 90% of the time a fight goes to the ground, yes it is important to fight standing up but there will always come a time when you have to fall down rather you really are going down and that is when brazilian ju-jitsu comes in.

You can break a persons arm or leg or ankle on your back. and if the people who are teaching you are those people who are really fighting in Mixed Martial Arts tournaments like Universal Reality Combat Championships URCC then you really are in good hands meaning they really are goin to teach you the nitty gritty parts of everything hehehe

ive trained in many arts and so far the most practical of them is brazilian ju-jitsu so i think its best if you try them yourself if you want to learn how to defend yourself ^_^

anyway i train here:
Branch: EDSA Parc House Building
Location: #48 Parc House Bldg. 227 EDSA

try it you may enjoy it basta mag tap ka lang or sigaw ka ng TAP if talagang naka submission na oks?

——-

sa tapat ng lords gym may nagbanggaan na kotse ayun nagsuntukan ang dalawang mokong so maraming usisero na skwater ang nanood at nagtatatalon pa sa tuwa hehehe pagkatapos ng suntukan galore naguwian na yung dalawang mokong sakay ng mga kotse nila tapos maya may nagdedebate na ang mga jologs kung sino ang tama at mali dun sa dalawa. maya maya sila na yung nagsusuntukan hehehe

asteeg!!!!

——-

sa politics naman nagdedebate parin kami ng prof ko dati kung bakit daw di ako bumoto kasi sabi niya if you don’t vote you have no right to criticize the government.

uhmm isn’t it better that we put them down first who cheated in the 1004 elections as well as those who are STILL in comelec even after the hello garci scandal?

haay… ano yung saying na yun bago mo pansinin ang dumi sa mukha ng ibang tao unahin mo muna yung dumi sa mukha mo hehehe

——-

anyway sa dako pa roon dami ko pang gustong isulat.. well di ko na maalala yung iba… hmm..
basta ganun baka mamaya maalala ko na hehehe apir!

Stolen

Posted by upoytao on May 23, 2007


We watch the season pull up its own stakes
And catch the last weekend of the last week
Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced,
Another sun soaked season fades away

You have stolen my heart

Invitation only, grant farewells
Crush the best one, of the best ones
Clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight

You have stolen my heart

And from the ballroom floor we are in celebration
One good stretch before our hibernation
Our dreams assured and we all, will sleep well

You have stolen
You have stolen my heart

I watch you spin around in the highest heels
You are the best one, of the best ones
We all look like we feel

You have stolen my
You have stolen my heart

mga weirdong karanasan

Posted by upoytao on May 15, 2007


Umuwi ako samin sakay ng jeep galing gym.
Umulan kasi nun kaya basa ang daan.

Sa jeep palang may naamoy akong amoy tae.
Hinanap ko sa paligid ko pero wala akong makita.

nakauwi nako’t lahat ng maamo ko parin eh tae.
yung tae na mabaho na tae ng tao.

tapos nun nagbiuhis nako at naghanadang kumain,
nakakain na ko’t lahat pero amoy tao parin.

kaya umakyat ako paputang banyo at naghandang maligo,
pagharap ko sa salamin may nakita akong brown sa may malapit sa kanang mata ko.

sinubukan kong alisin pero makapal at mahigpit ang pagkakakapit kaya kinamot ko.

di naman siya ganun kalakihan mga less than an inch siguro.

pag-amoy ko…

SYET YUN YUNG TAE GRRRRAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

———–

Yung next na punta ko naman ng gym puno yung tricycle na sasakyan ko sana kaya sa likod ako pinasakay.

yung katabi ko isang mataba at malaking lalaki kaya yung pwit ko sakto lang dun sa upuan ko.

pag-upo na pagupo ko akalain mo ba namang biglang umandar ang tricycle tapos wala akong makapitan!

kumapit ako sa ilalim ng upuan ko yun na yata ang pinakamahigpit kong kapit buti na lang hindi kumanan o kaliwa bigla yun kundi tatalsik talaga ako.

pagbaba ko sabi ko “whew nakakaaning yun ah” sabi nung drayber “anong nakakaaning ser” tapos yung mukha nya parang gulat na gulat pa.

“Eh muntik mo nakong patayin kaya!” aba’y natawa pa ang gago.

(syet late nako sa gym)

asar na and other posts

Posted by upoytao on May 5, 2007


Bakit ka boboto kung wala naman kwenta ang comelec???

tingnan mo hindi nila inapprove si danton remoto tumakbo para senador pero si victor wood pinayagan nila??
ano ba namang kalokohan yan???

kaliwa’t kanan ang vote buying ni GMA at ni Gonzalez pero anong nangyayari walang gumagalaw sa kanila?? Tapos boboto ka pa??

Give me a good reason bakit mo kailangan bumoto? bakit ka magtitiwala sa isang systemang alam mong mali??

Pag naiisip ko ito naihahalintulad ko siya palagi sa isang battered wife na hindi maiwan ang asawa nya kahit binubugbog siya or kahit nambababae ang asawa nya.

kasi “for the sake of the child” daw keso “I want my child to have a normal childhood” In this case “I want to be able to vote to exercise my rights in a democratic sphere” eh anak naman ng teteng nakalimutan mo na ba yung duty mo as a citizen “to do what is right? to follow the rule of law?”

KAYA HINDI UMAASENSO ANG PINAS EH TINOTOLERATE NATIN ANG ISANG BAGAY KAHIT NA ALAM NATING MALI!!!

Sa tingin nyo papayag si GMA matalo sa eleksyon?? kriminal utak nun kaya dapat kriminal mo rin siya ituring! walang gagawing malinis sa eleksyon yun!

——

heniweys sa ibang dako naman inurong na raw ni Mike Arroyo ang mga kaso niya against about 50 journalists na kinasuhan nya ng libel.

Masasabi nga naman na baseless ang mga kaso niya kasi before pa mapatunayang may basehan eh inuurong na niya sign of goodwill daw kuno after surviving his triple bypass operation.

Ewan ko lang pero if ever may change of heart nga siya (literally) it just proves one thing na nout of whim he an make or break anybody in media by lambasting them in court and harassing them otherwise in one way or another.

but heniweys if ur gonna vote, again forget it… because criminals will always be criminals as well as cheaters will always be cheaters unless they prove otherwise like resigning from their post or better yet going to jail and thats that.

—–

Apparently whenever I go to sleep i have this habit of looking into space and asking myself different questions. I carried this habit for a very long time and it sometimes bothers me and kept me from sleep.

The most recent question that moves my mind is the question of staying or not in this country.

I mean all my life I wanted to see the world to go out and experience life outside rather than rot here all my life. The chance of studying abroad, but alas again due to poverty I have to opt to stay here.

So I ask myself what is it thats outside the country? Are people as corrupt as the ones we have here? Is their food good? Do they also think of coming here? what do they think of my country? What do they really think about us filipinos? Are we really that despicable in their eyes?

I want to go out, I want to go to paris, japan, china, australia, USA, everywhere!

I just want to have a break from this vicious cycle of corruption and poverty.
Im sick of this. I think everybody is… Im prophesying that we are never a bit short of future homicidals due to governments’ senselessness.

I’m already over the dilemma of whether or not I should leave the country or not.

I have decided that it is time o leave the country in able to grow and help other people.

I can’t help our brothers and sisters If I can’t help myself, if I can’t empower myself its as simple as that.

Coming back is never an option. I will always die in my country’s soil.

nuff said!

Speech daw ni Bill Gates

Posted by upoytao on May 4, 2007


Rule 1 : Life is not fair – get used to it!

Rule 2 : The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6 : If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rainforest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.

Love For Granted

Posted by upoytao on May 4, 2007


These days are gone
Loud enough to hold on
I think about the time we wasted
I think about the years to come
It’s getting late and I can’t call
It’s getting late to face it all
I think about the time we wasted
My loneliness has slowly grown
I told you not to cross the line
& leave me with your love for granted
The letters from your broken heart
I think I might have lost them somewhere

Don’t tell me ’bout your lies
Don’t tell me ’bout your secrets

My love is easy
You are everything I need
Now your love is gone
I want it safe & guaranteed
Life is such a fine line
Looking at the bright line
I think about the time we wasted
For someday I’ll be coming too
Tonight is dying on its own
& now I got your love for granted
It doesn’t matter right or wrong
As long as you are hiding somewhere

Don’t tell me ’bout your lies
Don’t tell me ’bout your secrets

Even though we’ve said it all
I would never let us fall with you
Hang on to a little chance, you bet I’m in
If it is for better
I would never miss the call, it’s true
Hang on to a little chance, you bet I’m in

-Phoenix-
