Of Koreans, Porno Land and The Ex-Bestfriend

by Leave a Comment

Well, I survived two weeks here in my new company and things are surprisingly great. Not that I expected it to suck or anything. I get to finish work in two hours and spend the rest of my shift watching Coffee Prince, hahaha! My God, I got totally sucked into this Koreanovella, its fantastic!

Though I’d rather not waste bandwidth talking about the plot, I will do this instead:

Behold the heavenly body known as Gong Yoo. My God… I just can’t stop the tears T_T

Okay, so now that I’m already familiar with the people, the working environment and the cockroaches lurking around the new office, I gotta say everything’s peachy, peachy, peachy. Now I’m sure I made the right decision. I dropped by Porno Land the other day to get my clearance. I got to see my ol’ smoking buddies which was the highlight of the whole visit thing. It was awesome. What was odd though was I was struck with the realization that I don’t belong there anymore. Weird.

Oh, ex-bestfriend made her presence known to me yesterday. Which, needless to say, aggravated my already melancholic mood. Usually when pissed, I’d ignore her completely. However I think I have grown a conscience. I didn’t have the heart to brush her off so I did try my damnedest to hold my end of the conversation which went like this:

Ex-Bestfriend: Hello Tin, how are you?

Tina: Fine. You?

Ex-Bestfriend: Ayos lang (I’m okay)

(Satisfied that her friend ain’t dead yet but didn’t feel like talking to her, Tina fiddled through her messenger list, pushed the stealth setting to appear permanently offline to that contact. She then continued to drool over handsome Korean stars. Oh, and one more thing please refrain from calling ze author Tin, Tin-Tin or Tins. Only the ex-bestfriend can get away with that)

Meh. I’m sooo gonna die alone, I just know it.

Humor Blogger For May 2008

Badoodles, if you’re reading this I wanna say thank you 😀 See, you just made my day.

Well my defunct blogsite over at BlogSpot just scored the title Humor Blogger for May 2008. Wow, Who fucken knew? Tenk U beri meyni! This made me forget even for a little while how much Worpress sucks because I couldn’t embed videos as a post. Why this happens, I’ve got no fucking clue.

On a totally different note, I have started building my Haruki Murakami collection after reading two of his work, Kafta on the Shore and The Wind-up Bird Chronicles. So far, I got:

A Wild Sheep Chase, Norwegian Wood (mostly because of Benny’s insistence that it’s one of the best book he read) and Dance Dance Dance. I’m very excited to read ’em though I’m expecting all ending would suck (it always does, trust me). I have every intention to collect every book which means my freeloading days may not be over just yet, hahaha! I’m also thinking of starting a Neil Gaiman collection as well but that can wait as I still have plans to eat and buy useless stuff for the days ahead, hahaha!

I’m in a great mood, everything seems to be going great but I don’t want to speak too soon. Can’t wait for the month of June to really start the ball rollin’!

Virtual Rehab

Despite lingering doubts and conflicting emotions, I left Porno Land as scheduled. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’m not regretting anything at this point, what I’m saying was it has been fun. I was expecting my last day to be somewhat uneventful but for some weird reason (maybe saying Good-Bye ain’t really my strongest suit) it wasn’t.

The Big Man was parading around Porno Land with a white girl who turns out to be the new Queen of Sales, she’s actually pretty nice to me. Except the Big Man pointed out to white girl that I’m about to sever my connections with the smut factory. I was a bit taken aback by that incident though I didn’t think much about it after.

I celebrated my last day by handing out pizza slices for the Edule folks as well as from office friends, which made me a little sad but that’s what Good-Byes are all about anyway. After I handed out the grub, me and Tin went out for a little smoke. Turns out, Porno Land people prepared a little program to welcome white girl into the hood and I was curious enough to observe the festivities.

Big Mistake.

The host (which is a friend of mine) and I locked orbs and next thing I knew, he was announcing to the Porno Folks that “Somebody is bound to leave us soon, give it up for Tina!” Naturally, out of dismay, I cowered in the corner. I guess I wanted a more subtle exit but apparently, it was too much to ask, haha!

After the whole shebang, I went out to meet the Band of Bitches and they wolfed down what was left of the pizza while I dreamed of the simple country life.

You see, I was raring to take a little break and head out North before I work my fingers to the bone once again. I imposed a no internet unless it’s a matter of life and death and monies policy and I’ve never been more excited.

Robert is Iron Man

by Leave a Comment

I suck at movie revs and I don’t plan to start now but I just wanna say: Iron Man blew me the fuck away.

The jaw-dropping Visual effects rocked, the plot hits closer to home (terrorism in the middle East, the war element and all that jazz) and was littered with hints of an even better sequel to come (hopefully retaining the original cast especially Robert and Terence) Acting-wise, Robert Downey Jr. is at the top of his game while a barely recognizable Jeff Bridges’ performance was nothing short of excellent!

Surprisingly, Gwyneth was actually pretty tolerable in this film (I hate her) as Pepper Potts and Terence Howard’s performance is also notable.

Overall it is an awesome film! With things blowing up every five minutes and Robert, donning the suit, is sexy as sin in fine will-kick-yer-ass-til-kingdom-come form and mind-bending fight scenes, it’s one movie you shouldn’t fail to watch!

Methinks I’ll have a busy year this year watching other awesome films that will soon hit the Pelepens shore

The Dark Knight
Get Smart
The Incredible Hulk (I’m waiting with bated breath at Norton’s take on this flick)
Hell Boy
The Love Guru
Narnia: Prince Caspian
Speed Racer

P.S. In case you missed it, I’ll say it again, Robert Downey Jr. is zo hot, zo zo hotz he made me had hot flushes at the tender age of 25!!! He’s the true Weapon of Mass Distraction! Chuck Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Eric Bana into the fray tew please *drool*

25 Years in the Making

by Leave a Comment

I’ve been meaning to write shitload of brain farts but lately, neither time nor energy permits me to do so that’s why most of the good stuff I wanted to write down are gone from memory. Now, I’ve always wanted to write about the things I learned in my 25 years here on Mother Earth. I was supposed to post something about it on my birthday in my old blog but I decided against it since these things takes a lot of time.I know I’m not in any position to take the Holier-Than-Thou route but I figured, hell, I’ve been here long enough, I’m pretty sure there were some things I learned along the way, right? Roooyt.

So here we go…

The 25 Things Tina Learned While Procrastinating on the face of the planet for 25 Years

25. Being indulgent comes with a high price
24. Be wary of people as they lie all the time
23. Aim to be memorable rather than the best, that’s how real legends are made.
22. To a certain extent, being vain isn’t so bad
21. Toddlers rocks!
20. You’ll always end up hurting someone no matter how well-meaning your intentions are.
19. Honesty is always appreciated
18. Sense of Contentment is just a figment of your imagination.
17. Dry wit is the best kind of humor.
16. Moderating greed takes a lot of work, time and maturity.
15. Never conform to what the “society” dictates
14. Just because it felt right doesn’t mean its right.
13. Being a wuss never does anyone good
12. Say sorry like you mean it. Never apologize just so you can end an argument.
11. Keep your temper in check
10. It pays to wait for things to die a natural death
9. Admitting you are wrong doesn’t make you any less of a person
8. Pick your friends wisely
7. Happiness is a matter of perspective
6. Literature and music are the best things that mankind ever came up with.
5. Education is everything.
4. Never dare try to beg for anyone’s approval.
3. Parents are mostly right.
2. One word: SPF.
1. You always have a choice. Always.

I’m still jogging down other good stuff but so far, I got nuthin which means I’ll probably make another post about the same subject in the coming days. Which sucks for you, muahahhahah!!
