Black and Yellow

I woke up today with the strangest thought.

Juice Boxes are awesome.

I mean, it's Juice... in a box! Normally, juice or any other type of drink is bottled when it would be shipped and sold in stores. But this one is genius! The shape of the box is for easier storage, hence space can be maximized. It's material is disposable in nature, but it can still retain the juice's flavor and protect if from outside forces!

This is a perfect example of product packaging innovation!

Well, that's it. I want a Juicebox right now.

But before that, a fan service (Rico, forgive me! You know I *love* you):


For the past year, many have accused the two of us as lovers. That accusation still went on even when I was in an actual relationship. No matter how much we joke about it, and cliche as it sounds, we really are just close friends. You can probably say we are the best of friends, but we really don't have a definite criteria of what constitutes a best friend. (In my case, I don't believe in the concept.)

Main point is, we trust each other and we value our friendship at it is. For the sake of fun, we are still considered a Pseudo Couple. Huzzah!

For the past few days, Rico and I have discussed about relationships. There have been some recent events that lead us to discussing it (I will not discuss those events, they are too personal). So far we've talked about the following:

• The possibility of the two of us hitting it off (I've discussed this already in the previous paragraphs) and how we would most probably treat each other
• The concept of Best friends
• My previous relationships
• Rejection, how to reject and statements used to reject & the ideas that it would lead to.
• Friendship in general

It was a rather lengthy discussion, but it somehow kept on concluding that we fear being hurt from the responsibility of a relationship, and worse, reciprocating that feeling towards the other. It was nice talking about it though, it allows a realization of how one treats others.

Well, that's it. Nothing left to discuss.

Out of impulse, it seems.

Micro blogging has consumed me for the past few months, and its convenience has resulted in fragmented thoughts. Not mention how often I itch to press a "Like" button every time I see something interesting. You are evil, Facebook.

I need to brush up with composition; I miss explaining things.

Due to recent [?] events, I have been rather quiet online. You can say I'm beginning to learn how to keep things to myself, as well as summarizing my thoughts in phrases. I'm learning to assess my actions, and understanding that there are things that are rather left unsaid.

Ok, I ran out of things to say. I have another post to share in a while.

I seek attention.

This came out in the 1993. However, I only knew about this show in the early 2000's when I was exposed to Cable TV and Disney Channel.

Back when I was around 5, ABS CBN showed a lot of educational television shows. Some of these were Sineskwela, Mathinik and Bayani; I'd be up every morning at my grandparents house watching each episode with my brother. I guess these were early signs of my interest for random information; I always liked learning about something new, hoping it makes me one step smarter and admired by my classmates. But as time passed by, the episodes began to replay in ABS CBN and I got tired of it, especially when STC was using the show for video presentation in my Science classes.

When I was grade 4, I remember watching Disney Channel during the weekends. One of the shows that I really loved watching was Bill Nye the Science Guy. It reminded me of Sineskwela, only that the language used was English and the presentation of the topics were (in my opinion) more entertaining for kids.

Every episode would feature one specific topic, and in the span of 30 minutes Bill and other characters of the show would explain the topic in an entertaining way. The characters are fun and candid, and their explanation of the topics would be direct and creative. Their actions aren't too distracting, as would some shows since children hardly have the attention span to sit down and carefully understand what the speaker is saying.

An example would be this video, where Bill explains the topic on Gravity:


Yeah, that's right! Throw random objects from a 2 story building and let's see them smash to the ground!

I also like how they used those swoosh sounds with every hand gesture Bill does. One of the minute details that don't fail to keep the kid's attention.

There's not much left for me to say but this was a great show. Every episode gave me new ideas. As for old ideas, they made it more interesting. The show takes topics in General Sciences lightly, making it entertaining and informative to kids.

I don't think I could. I need books and the internet around me. Without them, I'd rather kill myself. I don't want to stay living if my only goal is survival.

Collecting Album Art is beginning to be addictive. 790 songs in the iTunes and counting.

I believe in a thing called laaaaaahv. oooooooh Oooooh

Spoiler ahead.

(I know Movie adaptations of plays may have different interpretations as that of the original, but this thought just can't rest in my head)

Though I am a fan of Tim Burton, I don't think he established the presence of Lucy as the beggar woman in the movie quite well.

In the original broadway musical, Lucy (as the beggar woman) already appeared in the early part of the play, right before Todd sings "The Barber and his Wife". Her presence before Todd introducing her in the play already showed Lucy's presence without Todd's knowing. In the movie, this scene was cut; Todd sang "The Barber and his Wife" and Lucy (as the beggar woman) was not present. She only appeared in "Ah, Miss", where Anthony has come to know about Johanna and Judge Turpin.

The scene I have mentioned was, in my opinion, needed. Though it wasn't explicitly shown in the play, Lucy was already present to the audience, given her line "Hey, don't I know you, Mister?" that was recurring in the play. The presence of the scene could have justified the effect of Todd's revenge in the story. The line was only said once in the movie, only after Beadle Bamford was killed.

The loss of the scene would have been compensated for the film's advantage of showing the audience images that may have given the same effect. Similar to the play, the actress playing the beggar woman is the same as that of Lucy. There were parts in the film that did close up to her face, but this was seldom. Her character as the crazy beggar woman was shown more than that of her being Lucy. The only time her face as closed up what shen she said "Hey, don't I know you, Mister?" (See? it does give the audience the idea of her possibility being Lucy.)

Though the ending gave the same aura as that of the play, if you're going to find parts in the film that would justify the ending, there are hardly any that would justify it. (I don't consider Mrs. Lovett's explanation sufficient. The line "Said she took a poison, she did. Never said that she died." just made Todd, as well as the audience, seem like fools more than beng a clue of Lucy's presence.)

It's smaller added with a new feature called the VoiceOver.

Hindi naman sa fan rin ako, pero grabe talaga nung narinig ko kaninang hapon ang balitang patay na si Francis M.

Francis Magalona (1964 - 2009)

Isa sa mga magpapaalala sakin ng kabataan ko ay si Francis M. Naaalala ko nung bata ako tuwing manonood ako ng TV ay makikita ko ang mga music video niya. "Watawat" pa ata yung kanta.

Siya rin ang isa sa mga taong nakatulong sakin na ma appreciate ang genre ng musikang ito. Father of Philippine Rap, ika nga nila; nakikita ko rin kung bakit.

Wala akong ibang masabi, ang bigat lang talaga ng loob ko.

No, this is not my leg and it did not reach to be like this. But I might as well show you what it would have been if it got worse.

Another blister is beginning to form, just when all the lesions from the previous weeks are in the process of healing. It's small but still it must be taken out immediately.

Regardless, my recent outfits allow my legs to be bare and  Just yesterday my skirt was knee length (hoping to make the trim be above my knee since I wore it as a high waist skirt). Basically, my outfit was something similar to the image below:

I love aggregate expenditure!
After you, I study Simplex tables and more models on Organizational behavior!

3:00 na ng umaga at dapat nag aaral ako ngayon para sa BUSPLA1 (Business Plan Writing 1).

Naisipan kong magdrawing ulit. Ang tagal na. Kahit nung malala pa yung komplikasyon sa balat ko noong nakaraang linggo ay di ko rin naisipang mag drawing. Ewan ko, mas nasa utak ko na ata yung majors ko.

Wala pa akong nagagawang artwork (inaamin ko na ngayon) at sa totoo lang di ko na alam kung ano ang gagawin ko sa kanila.

Free Association exercise ko nung Art and Photo Camp, wala masyadong pinagbago mula nung ibalot ko na siya sa dyaryo nang pauwi na kami noon. Yung Parasitism artwork ko, na ulit ko na siya di parin ako kuntento sa gawa ko. Pakiramdam ko kulang parin siya. Proyekto sana namin ni Ian para sa Valentines Promo ng Chocolab, tinanggihan ko bigla. Sampung Utos series ko noon para sa TREDTWO, nasakin ulit pero di ko parin naeedit. Nainis ako bigla sa collage na ginawa ko kasi kalat ang mga subject.

Pati rin ba naman itong ginawa ko ngayong umaga di ko rin matapos. Di ko alam kung bakit di ko natatapos lahat ng mga artwork ko. Paa nalang ata ang nakikita kong subject dahil sa sakit ko. Ngayon ko lang siya naisipang iguhit, pero sa gitna ng pag guhit nawalan ako ng gana bigla. (Yung mga lesion sa paa ko, di ko na naidagdag. Tamo? Walang gana.)

Hindi ba hilig ko to? Ba't ako nawawalan ng gana? Minsan naisip ko na di talaga ako marunong gumuhit. Kung marunong man, di na ko natutuwa sa proseso niya. Nasa utak ko nalang yung konsepto, parang ayokong manyari. Takot ba ko, o naiinip lang talaga?

Ewan. Gusto ko nalang sana bumalik sa pag aral pero eto rin ang problema ko ngayon sa pagiging Entrepreneur. Buti pa si Sir Quebbengco, yung prof ko sa ENTPSYCH (Entrepreneurial Psychology), alam niya kung sino siya at kung ano ang gusto niyang gawin sa buhay.

Mukang ako na yung kinatatakutan niyang estudyante na magsasabi sakanya sa kinabukasan na hindi ako masaya kahit na nakakaipon ako ng maraming pera. Wag naman sana.

Argh.

May nakita akong postcard na nakapaskil sa PostSecret board sa Central nung nakaraang Linggo. And sikreto niya ay nanonood siya ng mga pelikula sa Cinema One. Sige, hindi ko na siya huhusgahin; natuwa lang ako na hindi ako nag iisa sa La Salle na nanonood.

Pero hindi naman to sikreto, alam naman siguro ninyo na mahilig ako manood sa Cinema One. Hindi ninyo alam na (budding?) Fan ako ni Maricel Soriano. Una akong natuwa sakanya sa "Inday Bote". Kinilig rin ako sa panonood ng pelikulang yun kasi ang gwapo pala si Richard Gomez nung kabataan niya. Wala lang, nakakatuwa siyang umarte; siya raw yung tinatawag na babaeng bakla, diba?

Kanina nung papunta kaming SM San Lazaro nag uusap kami ni Mama sa kotse tungkol sa kanya.

(Masarap kausap si Mama tungkol sa mga Pinoy Films, siya pa nga ang nagsasabi sakin kung anong pelikula ang nakakatuwang panoorin at kung ano ang ma drama. Mahilig ako sa madrama, mas lalo na kung Vilma Santos yan o kung ano mang pelikula ni Lino Brocka. Game ako dun. Si mama, mahilig sa mga pelikula ni Sharon Cuneta)

May nabanggit si Mama na pelikula ni Maricel Soriano na hindi Komedya. "Kung kaya ko abutin ang Langit". Di ko makwento ng tama yung istorya ng tama. Ang pagkakaalala ko sa kwento ni Mama ay masama ang labas ni Maricel dito; bida na nga, bitch pa. Tipong rags to riches na istorya pero ang paraan ng pagkamit niya ng mga ambisyon niya ay masama. Umabot pa sa puntong pinatay niya yung nag ampon sakanya para mamana niya ang kayamanan.
