Talkin' bout those dads

[music| Will You Be There - Michael Jackson]


So I'm actually going to write something that is more than 140 characters. Twitter is too convenient and doesn't really put a lot of space for emotion. Heh, reminds me of me.

Guys I'm really sad Michael Jackson died. I mean he wasn't anything significant to me. But I did grow up listening to his songs. He's the kind of musician whose songs you just have to know you know? He did write a lot of uplifting songs too- Human Nature, Heal the World, They Don't Really Care About Us, Man in the Mirror, etc. It's just so tragic he died so young and the media frenzy surrounding all of his weirdness bothers me like hale. He may have been eccentric, but goddamn everyone just wants a piece of him.

They Don't Care About Us is my favorite MJ song. It has that DIAF attitude.

My ipod went into mourning though. While taking a bath yesterday, I changed the settings of my ipod to shuffle. Out of 900 songs in the playlist, it just played 6 MJ songs straight. I freaked myself out.

Remember when he came to Manila? I remember the media coverage of the concert. It was literally a sea of humanity rocking out to his songs. It was so beautiful. And I'm getting teary-eyed now so I'll stop.

R.I.P. Michael

[music| Cello Lesson - Dario Marianelli (The Soloist OST)]


I was just at [info]ontd_twatlight reading up on someone's crappy birthday post and it made me realize that I've never really given a crap about my birthdays. In fact, I've always dreaded turning a year older. Ever since my 17th birthday. I think I've been trying to avoid the stigma of the passing years- Do you have a boyfriend? Where are you working now? When are you graduating? I hate those questions.

But I'm not here to tell you about all those dreaded birthdays of old. I'm here to tell you about my best birthday to date.

My 24th.

I still don't like being 24 because it's GASP SHIT I'M 24 AND I'M UNEMPLOYED AND WITHOUT A BOYFRIEND CRAAAAAAAAAP! I feel like I should have written a majorly epic book or something because come on, Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice when she was 20.

Anyway.

My 24th birthday started during Easter. I share my birthday month with a lot of relatives so we have a birthday-a-plenty cum Easter celebration at my dad's side of the family. It was fun. Loads of cake and fatty foods. A week later, I attended another birthday cum summer party at a friend's house. Loads of cake and fatty foods too. But what I really liked was blowing the candles.

Yeah, I'm cheesy like that. Because somehow, despite my anxiety of the coming years, that moment feels like it's all worth it. Like I can blow away all my problems and worries and for once, I can be legitimately embarrassed (even though I don't really care for half of the guests that were there).

So there. While I may harbor some resentment (LOL), my 24th was great.

Damn you Chaturanga!

[music| Tiny Apocalypse - David Byrne]


Yoga, Day 6

T minus 4 more sessions.


GAH MY ARMS, THEY BURN!

We're doing more arm strengthening exercises. More chaturangas to prepare us for the more complicated asanas.

Can I just say, I CAN'T DO A CHATURANGA. This is what a proper chaturanga looks like:



My chaturanga doesn't even look anything like a chaturanga. I can't even do a push-up. Maybe the girly push-up, but dang after doing this for how many times since Day 5, my arms feel like they're about to fall off. The muscles under my arm (is that what you call triceps?) is starting to take the strain. This guy explained the right and wrong way of doing the pose and I realized I've been doing it wrong which is why my wrists hurt like hell. Maybe I also need this?

We're now attempting to do this: Lolasana



And I can't lift my butt off the floor.

Make that my legs.

I don't have upper body strength at all which is kind of damning, but since I'm only a noob and the others have been doing this for a long time, I'm giving myself a spaz pass.

Like my other classmate pointed out, the flexibility part is ok, the strength part is not especially when we're doing plank-chaturanga-upward facing dog-downward facing dog-plank-chaturanga. And all I'm thinking is CHILD'S POSE PLEASE!

I think I'm getting better. I no longer get dizzy and my flexibility is getting better. Endurance is still a trial. I can't sustain Warrior I and Warrior II. Eric Yoga has been pushing me to widen my stance (which I'm getting better at), but I still collapse (I'm getting better at that 90 degree angle!). I've also noticed that my lower back pain isn't that bad anymore. A year ago, I suffered a back injury that when I bent down and stood up, my back just cracked. That's why I haven't been doing anything strenuous for fear of that until I took up yoga.

The more I read about yoga and all it's levels, I'm more convinced that I never started with the beginners class. I've never done some of the modified positions (like cobra) and immediately started with the more advanced, and I use "advanced" loosely, asanas. I think it's great that I can cope with it, but also sometimes think that I could have used a few beginners lessons. Ujjaji breathing for one. I learned that from a youtube video.

This is always what I look forward to at the end of each class: Savasana

YOGA, DAY 3.

T MINUS 7 MORE SESSIONS.

Day 2 yoga was all about the warrior poses. I took the class with my cousin who told me about the place so it was nice. I also met some of her gym friends and they were swapping gym stories about the trainers and schedules. It was nice listening to that kind of chatter.

Day 3 yoga was intense.

RLY INTENSE.

It was a one-on-one session. The others couldn't make it so Eric Yoga focused all of his glorious attention on me. I will admit though that it was a bit liberating to have the instructor focus on you and we had the place to ourselves. The other side to that is he focused on me which was kind of umm... embarrassing? HE'S NOW PRIVY TO ALL MY FAULTS. Despite some of my spastic movements, he was cool enough to laugh away my mistakes because at one point, I felt really dizzy with the up and down movements. He says I should focus more on my breathing- one breath, one movement. He's right because I sometimes forget to suck in my lower ribs and I start panting and that makes for problems with the movements.

We did a lot of the sun salutation poses and I'm actually kind of proud of myself because I can now bend more. OK maybe not like a folded piece of paper, but certainly more. And for the first time, I'm not aching all over. I must have done something right.

News IRL: I'm getting anxious about this job hunting thing. :(

My adventure of being a total spaz at yoga. Day One.

Posted on 06.April.2009 at 13:11

[mood| Tired]
[music| L'ongle - Presque Oui]


YOGA, DAY ONE.

T MINUS 9 MORE SESSIONS.

I woke up today feeling kinda excited because hello, this is yoga. New age stuff that is being force-fed to us by people like pretentious bitch Gwynnie Paltrow (while the rest of the world hates her).

Anyway.

I read somewhere that it isn't advisable to eat anything before class, and that if you have to eat, it has to be 3-4 hours before. So. Since my class was scheduled at 8 am, I left the house eating nothing and buying myself a bunch of fries from a nearby fast food. That was a mistake. I'll tell you later.

Class started easy enough. Breathing exercises. Easy peasy right? Since the room wasn't airconditioned, I started to sweat. My sweat started to drip. I thought I looked like a joke because my yogamates weren't sweating. And I thought hey, you know what? I'm younger, maybe a little more flexible, this should be good. I've seen all the adverts.

It's a lie I tell you. A lie! The poses look easy enough, but sustaining the poses was the difficult part. On top of that problem, my hands and feet were sweaty and I kept sliding on the mat. Not good. I have to remember to bring a big towel tomorrow for grip.

Worse part of the whole experience was that I almost fainted FOR THE FIRST TIME! I started seeing black spots across my vision and I felt lightheaded and that's when I started to berate myself for not eating anything. On top of which, I totally forgot to bring a small towel and water. So while they were doing the exercises, I sat on my mat trying to get more oxygen to my brain.

Worse still, I kept trying not to fart. LOL

Despite my inner and outer abject humiliation, I was impressed with the 2 people in class. I think one was a mother and the other man was a businessman. You can tell they've done this before. They also probably got a kick from a complete no0b like me. Eric, the instructor was supportive. He didn't push me whenever he saw that I couldn't do it. He kept asking me if I was ok (to my embarrassment) and he'd smile and say relax (when I totally couldn't).

After the grueling exercises, it was time to do the sitting ones. That, I could do. My one flexible achievement is that I can sit in a lotus position and touch my forehead to my toes. All those years of karate from demon sensei Mario actually paid off. Who wudda thought? Eric also taught me a neat Tibetan breathing technique for my sinus problem. I'll try that tomorrow morning. Here's a summary of day one.

Things the adverts don't tell you about yoga:

1. You sweat. A lot. I did not expect that.

2. It doesn't look like this at all:



She's not even doing the lunges we were doing earlier.

3. There's such a thing as "tucking your tail bone."

4. You're not really one with the universe. My mind kept wandering.

5. One whole yoga class = one boxing session.

I'm trying to get the hang of this because you don't need equipment to do the exercises and if you master the movements, you can do it anywhere. My adjustment to yoga is hard because I'm used to action. I've taken karate, boxing, aerobics, and futsal, and all these activities require people to be on the move. The adrenaline is pumping, the rocky soundtrack is playing in your head and the honest-to-goodness sweating feels great.

So. I'm gonna stick this one out. See if I can be one with the universe.

REALLY RUDE KAGAWAD DESERVES ALL CAPS

Posted on 04.April.2009 at 18:13

[mood| Pissed Off]
[music| THE SOUND OF MY INNER ANGER]


Barangay South Triangle has a very rude kagawad.

So the yoga place I signed up for lies at the corner of EDSA and Scout Madriñan. It's a difficult place to go to so I decided to park in the corner before the place. And this kagawad tells me that I can't park there. So I ask him where I can park because I'm going to the building. He rudely tells me to get the hell out of there.

THE FUCK.

OH NO YOU DIDN'T.

I ask him where I can park and he tells me to just move it. I was so angry because I don't think anybody deserves to be talked to like a pest WHEN AS A TAXPAYER, I PAY FOR YOUR SALARY DICKWAD. Sadly I didn't tell that to his face.

Instead, I told him that if he were nicer, he'd get a whole lot more respect from people.

I know the man was just doing his job. And I know about the frustration of having cars parked all the time outside and you can't even get out of your own house. For God's sake, I live in front of a church. We suffer through all the masses, wakes, and trucks who park during lunchtime. So I KNOW. But I also think that even if your day is fucked up, everyone should extend at least a small measure of courtesy EVEN IF IT'S SUMMER.

Then yoga got canceled. So instead of being in harmony with the universe, I ended up even more frustrated.

UGH THE HASSLE OF GETTING GRADUATION PICTURES!

Grrrrr.

I look like a pancake.

Let me start from the beginning. I've been trying to get my graduation pictures for over a year. The first time I went there, they told me they didn't know where my picture was. The second time, they said that my picture was in Manila and that I should just leave my details so they can call me. The third time which was Wednesday, they told me that my picture was in Las Piñas.

I was so angry because I've been going to their office IN MAKATI three times and they haven't been in contact. The man I was dealing with said that I should have called before I went. I told him in my calm voice that I've been trying to call their goddamn office for the past few weeks with no success. The number that's been published in the internet is busted so I told him not to give me that shit that I should have called first. No excuse. They told me again to leave my details and they'll call me. I said that was what you've been saying for the last 2 visits I've paid and I haven't gotten any call. I then suggested that they call the Las Piñas office and look for my photo while I was in their Makati office. The guy said they didn't do that.

I blew up.

I said this kind of service is unacceptable. I'm a photographer myself and if the client wants the photos the day after tomorrow, I give the photos the day after tomorrow. I said it's not easy for me to go to Makati since I live in Q.C. It takes a MINIMUM OF 1 HOUR to get to their part of Makati. You think I've got patience for that? It's traffic, it's hot, and it's so damn far so I'm not wasting my gas, my money on incompetent service. I told the girl who was managing the office that in her capacity as manager, she should take more responsibility with regard to the kind of service she's giving to her clients. It's shitty. I demanded she give me her number after she asked for mine and told her that I was going to expect her call the next day. Otherwise, I'll call and harass her to get my photos from Las Piñas.

Amazingly enough, while driving home Wednesday, I receive a text message from her saying that my pictures are now available. AMAZING WHAT A LITTLE TARAY AND BRASO CAN DO. I replied saying that I'll pick it up today, Friday. However, she also texted that I have to pay P250 for the storage fee.

*headdesk*

So today I drive to Makati. It was traffic ALL THE WAY. It was also hot. AND THEY MADE ME WAIT FOR 30 MINUTES before I got hold of my pictures. The girl finally shows her face and I told her that she had the gall to make me wait and that I had to pay P250 for it.

The funny thing is, the guard who mans the building said that I'm not the first customer to walk away fuming from Digiprint. He's always noticed that people return 2-3 times before they finally get hold of their pictures. THE FUNNY PART IS, the security guard advised me to bring a lawyer the next time if I still didn't get my pictures.

I think summer is finally here. It's so hot! I look like a dog because I've planted myself in front of the electric fan. Oh the joys of living in the tropics. I miss the cool weather already.

I've been buffing up my summer playlist and I don't know if you've seen this already, but I LOVE, LOVE this video by Oren Lavie. It's composed of a thousand plus photographs put together. I've been wanting to do something similar to this because I've got a bunch of photos from my cousin's wedding when they were dancing. If you put them all together in video format, it would look like Lavie's video.

I was watching CNN earlier today and my jaw literally dropped when I heard that FACEBOOK PLANS TO OWN YOUR SOUL. Ok maybe not in those terms specifically, but the new Terms of Service states that the content of your facebook; like pictures, videos, and other information, is THEIRS. Even if you decide to close your facebook, the company will retain EVERYTHING.

EXCUSE YOU FACEBOOK? One part of me got scared from that because I don't want to have my information plastered all over the interwebz. It's kind of like having the proverbial sword hanging over my head. But that's probably because even though I like putting myself out there, I know it's not a permanent thing. It's kinda weird how private I become the older I get. Conundrum much?

And speaking of getting older...

I KINDA DIED WHEN MY PARENTS HINTED THEY WANTED GRANDCHILDREN. So yes, in some ways I'm feeling the pressure of getting older and the need for the OHMYGOD!NEXT GENERATION. I'm not prepared for it. LOL I don't even have a boyfriend! But check out this time lapse video of a baby spending his day playing around the dining room. It's god-awful cute. He can't even stand up yet!



And this:



She's so PRESH!!!!!!!!!!!

But enough of children.

I added [info]chuvaness to my friends list cause she's my main source of local gossip. Her entries on high school house parties got me thinking of how tame our high school parties were. I think the craziest thing that ever happened was Gloria de Guzman clutching the kitchen sink because it detached from the wall.

It still makes me laugh remembering that night.

Hi! It's been a while hasn't it?

BUT THANK GOD VALENTINES IS OVER.



I'm not bitter. Honest. But the stress the day produces is just way too much. The traffic, full restaurants, and overpriced stuff are just not my thing. I'd rather spread the love all year round. Why limit it to one day? If I were overly cheesetastic with a weak constitution, I'd probably whimper all day.

Hehe but I'm not. I'm macho. This is my kind of Valentines:



Basta it should be funny.

Despite telling people that I'm a bit bored at home, I'm actually enjoying all the free time I have. It was such a bitch that when I was working at DOF, all my interest in design fled me. It was like it took a look at where I was working, sniffed, and then just left me all alone. Haha! I haven't touched my "Design Bookmarks" in over 10 months. How sad is that?

But now that I have the time, I'm slowly getting back into the grove of things. Like Artemy Lebedev's pyramid which made me LOL really hard.



A Kansas City parking garage.



Speaking of books and libraries, I know Inkheart received mixed reviews, but can I just say that Helen Mirren's library is TO DIE FOR! You can't see the whole thing in the photo, but the aerial shot was amazing.



I was having an aneurysm when the thugs started burning the books and they smashed the center table with the Persian script.

The Year the Earth Stood Ugh

[music| The First Single - The Format]


This has been long overdue. But I couldn't find it in myself to post while for the first time in a very long time, I've been feeling quite myself; which in the past year hasn't really materialized to my liking.

To my supreme embarrassment, I am also a negligent blogger as [info]carnivalous has been hinting at.

2008 was not a cataclysmic disaster brought on my zombies. For lack of a better term, last year was unkind to many of us. I keep thinking about what my former boss used to say, "you're in for the experience." I was in for a year of hardships, of trials, and realizations that came with a price. Looking back at just some of my entries made me understand how hard everything was to understand on my terms. I'm not lucky. I never have been the one to be favored by fate. But despite fate's unwilling hand, I know myself to be lucky in a few respects.

I'm lucky to have such steady friends. I've always heard that the poleco bunch is a fun bunch of people. That's one big IJAF that Rich Cronin can't even refute. We are a fun bunch. I like their company. I like that I can have an intelligent conversation with them, that when people start to balk at serious topics, I can always count on educated remarks. I like that I can be silly with them too. I like that I can laugh with abandon about being complete nerds, attending some lecture by Douglass North. Can you just imagine if Jeffrey Sachs came? Oh god, I'd have all my books autographed and go go power fangirl.

I'm lucky to have a family. This year was hard for us. I'm lucky that there's family who love us no matter what happens. Money, status, and prestige should never be the focus of a family. I'm lucky to have my cousins who are notorious for making me laugh, that every gathering is a guaranteed success in terms of fulfillment. I'm happy that we've all grown closer the past year and that while we're growing older and slowly welcoming new additions, we're still solidly assured of love and support. I'm lucky to have finally met my cousin Jay Santillan (who broke a million hearts while he was here). And while he claims to have met me before, I consider our first meeting redundant because I don't remember it at all. This brand new meeting was more rewarding. Watch out for him in the new Star Trek movie.

2008 meant that I started taking charge of my life. I got off on a really rocky start. Rocky to the point of being irritable and indifferent to others. It meant that I got a job. It meant that I started paying for my own bills. The mark of adulthood was suddenly there and I was completely powerless to slow it down. Not that I do not want to shy away from responsibilities, but because Forces Unknown was winding his way around making mischief. The clusterfuck of cunt was a serious trial of my control and my bitch-back propensity. I'm an Aries, I can't help myself. It was so hard to just hold back and do the right thing. I'm grateful for all those people who supported me throughout that ordeal. ILU guys so much!

Taking charge of my life also meant butting heads with my parents. What I want and what they mean for us to want are completely different things. Parents want what's good for their children. But the fault of parenthood lies also in their inability to know what makes their children happy hence the many arguments at the dinner table. I read an article before about our generation having a difficult time focusing on our needs. We live in an age where information is at our fingertips and at the click of a mouse. We are the generation that does not consider our country to be a barrier. The world has become our village. Since we are the generation that does not know what we want, we are the generation that wants everything. That's true. And for my sins, that's me too. This transition from the small world to the big world has made us more confused and belatedly, also more attuned to our own needs. What we need, we must have. Experience has taught me that I have become more impatient. This year, I'm going to try and unclutter my life. Focus more on what is ephemeral, but also more precious and real. In our changing world, I've learned that what is intangible is more necessary. More precious. More valuable. I'm going to try to be more friendly. Maybe not dolphin-friendly, but nice-friendly.

On the subject of friendly, I realized that a lot of people think I'm stand-offish. Just to assure you, I'm not a bitch. I really am not. I don't say a lot because for one thing most people are strangers and I'm awkward with strangers. It's easy for me to appear friendly and introduce subjects into the first conversation, but I need help. What doesn't help is people rely on me to be friendly and that just bungles up everything thereby making situations MADE OF AWKWARD. On that note, I also realize that while people rely on me to listen to their woes, I end up having no one to listen to mine. That isn't to say that I don't like listening to people, I do. I like being able to help. But even therapists need therapists.

Marriage and babies. Two things that have happened repeatedly last year. And LOL it wasn't me. I've attended so many it's starting to make me skittish. Not that I disapprove of marriage, it's just that it's starting to raise expectations. Expectations I don't like at all. People have been giving me advice after advice about catching a man and making the good Lord happy by entering the blessed state of matrimony (and maybe my parents), but I'd rather do those things in my own time. My expectations are in all honesty simple (humor, conversationalist, and weird like me). I'm not the one to hoist my own petards as I've acknowledged that Forces Unknown has been shooting karma pellets from his BB gun.

Miao read in my cards that this is going to be a better year for me. I hope he's right. I don't know if I believe in the things he predicted for me, but as they're all positive, I can only grudgingly wish that some of those happen. I can't even remember for the life of me what they are.

I don't believe in New Years Resolutions. But to this I will make one exception, one resolution I will consider as my lifelong mission to accomplish. I resolve to be a better person. Haha I know it's too broad for a resolution, but as happiness is an end that is necessitated by being better as a person, I am more than up to the challenge of relieving myself of being too negative. 2009 is predicted to be a harsher year than the last and I'm not about to bet my diamond earrings that things will be good for me.
