Songs of Love, Angst and Rallying

Today's Musical Inclination: Jimmy Eat World - Work

All the best DJ's are saving
The slowest song for last
When the dance is through it's me and you
Come on, would it really be so bad?

-This was today's LSS, although I am also quite fond of A Perfect Circle's 3 Libras and Home Grown's Cross my Heart. :D

I must begin with an apology. Last time I posted, I promised you all that I would be posting pictures of my nephew here. However, my sister (his aunt) has forbade me from any such act, for fear of sicko pedophiles who salivate at opportunities such as that. I say, a pox on you, o malevolent psychos! You ruined everyone's fun...

...and, ultimately, gave me a lot more work to do. See, as soon as my sister sends me the uploaded pictures, I will have to e-mail the pictures to each of my friends. That's a whole lotta e-mail addresses, you know. Anyway, shout out to CNB Girl, who has requested to see my nephew (I think. You were the last person to post a comment, right?). Well, I don't know your addie, but if you would be so kind as to inform me then I would be more than happy to send you the pictures. Blueskies, did you wanna see the baby too? Lemme know ok? Anyone else who I didn't mention just let me know, as long as you introduce yourself first. Then I will have to review your case, hehe. Of course, if you happen to know that I know your e-mail add/Yahoo! ID, no problem. You're likely to receive them some time soon.

With that said, some time soon could be a long time from now. My sister is sending me the pictures, and I dunno when she will do so.

Moving on...

I watched My Sassy Girl this Saturday, thanks to Jam's DVD. It was hilarious! Funniest thing I've seen since God of Cookery. It was quite touching too. As a certain someone mentioned while we were watching in the living room, it is an ideal date movie. Unfortunately, I was sans date at the time, and possibly for a very long time. Sigh... If only we could all be like certain thread posters on peyups, who ended up in a relationship after watching the film with this guy (that, i dunno, i guess was courting her or something. I'm not sure).

Gash, gawin daw bang blind item itech?! My sincerest apologies to moon_siren04 and to Kuya Bri.

Pahabol. Crushness ko si My Sassy Girl. Well, the actress who played her, anyway. Ang pretty niya talaga...

I've loved Sarabia Optical at UP's Shopping Center from the moment I laid eyes on it. It carried indie opm CDs and indie pinoy comic books, and openly advertised the ones that were available. It exuded this aura that was just, well, cool.

Unfortunately, for the many attempts that I've had to enter that place, none had been successful. They were always either closed or, um, closed. Today, however, was my day. I must admit, I was surprised. I expected there to be a couple of people behind the glass counter assisting the owner, and when I'd ask for the CD, one would go, "Ne, meron pa ba tayo nung Imago?!" He would repeat that several times, of course. But anyway, that's not the point. There was but one nice lady behind the counter, whom I suspect must be the owner. She speaks impeccable English by the by, and although I was a bit intimidated by her presence at first, she seemed nice enough. She didn't complain at all that I was fresh from weight training and that my stuff was one giant mess. I ended up going home with albums by Imago and Twisted Halo. I would have tried to snag albums from The Late Isabel and Typecast (by the way, is Typecast even OPM? I remember that they are, but I'm not sure. If they are, are they indie?), but I was short on cash. Oh well. There's always next week. Man. I'm never shopping at Tower Records again.

That last statement is untrue, of course. What if I wanna buy a "mainstream" album, such as The Dawn's latest offering, or an album by a foreign band? Besides, I have this card that entitles me to gift certificates if I manage to fill out the required number of single-receipt purchases worth Php 500 or more. Sayang ang miles!!! Hahaha.

Pahabol. Crushness ko rin si Aia De Leon. Ang pretty niya rin pala talaga...

*giggles like a masculine schoolgirl*

Completely Wrong Thought of The Day: This freakin' dog was headed for me while I was walking along Panay Avenue! Yeesh. I nearly got bitten. Fortunately, the owner told the (and I'm assuming here, folks) bitch to get back and hit her right in the ribs. Ha! That oughta show her what for, assaulting total strangers like that.

Disclaimer: Ang susunod na portion ay kabaliwan, pero sabi ni Irwin gusto niya raw makita eh. Kaya, heto na!

Mahaba ang text na naka-enclose sa **. Wag nito nang basahin. Sinubukan ko lang naman i-describe yung instrumental eh.
*Ang instrumental nito ay simple lamang: den-den-denenen, den-denenenen (na normal), den-den-denenen, den-den-denen (na medyo mas mababa). Apat na beses yan, tapos wap-wap-tsuko-wap-wap (guitars) dug-dug-dug-dug-dug-dug (drums). Dalawang beses naman yun, at kalimitan ay ginagamit pagkatapos ng chorus pero bago magsimula ang isang stanza. Paulit-ulit lang yan. Sa bridge, first two times ay silent, next two times ay may drums lang na dug-dug-dug-dug-dug-dug-dug-dug-dug-dug-dug-dug-dug-dug-dug-dug tapos ang last four times ay may guitars na rin at pareho lang yung riff. Tapos pasok na chorus. Tapos yung riff sa last line, ganun rin, pero sa end part, ganito siya: den-den-denenenden!!! (extended kasi)*

GLSM (Tara Na't Mag-Welga Tayo)

Makinig ka sino mang nakaupo sa trono
Bakit utang mo pero kami nag-aabono?
Masaya ka ba na ikaw lang ang yumayaman
Habang nagdurusa pa rin ang ating kababayan?!
Ugh!!!

[Chorus]
Ito ang galit!
Ito ang galit!
Ito ang galit!
Laban sa makina!
[Repeat Chorus]

Sabi mo ay pipigilan ang pangungurakot
Ngunit sa tingin ko'y ikaw ang dapat ikatakot
Di ba dapat inaayos mong aming problema?
Hinati mo lang ang bansa!
Putang ina!

[Repeat Chrous (2x)]

*silence, then (ref. instrumental text)*
[Bridge]
Siyang may hawak ng lakas, may hawak ng batas (8x)

[Repeat Chorus]

Kami ang galit!
Ikaw ang makina!
Kami ang galit
Galit laban sa makiinnnnaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
