my dead celebrity soulmate

after weeks of downloading rar files and not having enough time or simply forgetting to patch them all up in one folder, i finally finished and watched The Virigin Suicides.

now thoughts of the Lisbon girls and their tragedie lingers..

and so i couldnt sleep.. not because of thinking of the story but of how the writer was so great to have come up with this plot.

oh well so to pass the time i updated a post at my other blog, did some meme tags and looked at who last visited my blogs thru sitemeter.

i found one who posted about dead soulmates.. sounds fun enough.. so i gave it a try.. and i bet you wouldnt guess who's my dead celebrity soulmate?



why! if it wasnt Edgar Allan Poe.. hihi!

"You might end up in a local library.. expect Poe to be quiet, reserved and a bit shy. He's an elegant speaker when given the opportunity but will usually try to avoid standing out in a crowd."

sounds familiar.. *.*

Wanna try it? dead celebrity soulmate

Bad Days For Mary

Back in high school.. some 12 (gee!) years ago.. i used to watch them play. its been years since i last googled to find them and only ended up with one link that only contains a photo copy of their album's sleeve "Let's talk of more pleasant things".

Yesterday, Puquita, one of my oldest friends (back in freedom pad 'zine days) told me that she saw them on TV last Monday. if it were 1997, i would have hated them and used the ever popular term (back then) "sell out" for showing up on tv. but now.. woah! i nearly almost jumpped on my seat while chatting online with her! but since i was at work that day (or night, erm), i was reserved to keep my emotions inside.

below is the few lines of our short talk:

is there a come back?!

- i'm not sure.

last couple of times i saw camille, (their cute vocalist - hehe, i always loved how she wears her sexy glasses) way after bad days were in hiatus, was in a mall with her bf and we bought the same chocolate drink. then i saw her again few years after with her daughter who was wearing a cute pink dress and just got off a bus. last time i heard she was in canada.

how was irvin?

- the drummer on tv was hiding behind his hair. so not sure if it was still him.

well he always liked thurston moore. he looked bit like him too. we had the same birthday and i remembered they greeted me on the NU during the live feed of their gig at 70's bistro. it was our birthday then.

- yeah i remember! and ha! sonic youth. i miss the good old days... it was only ixan who was mostly shot by the cam.

yeah, remember the real name of ixan? (ops i wont give that out here)

- haha! cool i forgot about that! btw, mad was still there. he looked the same.

with the hair?

- yes, i think so.

oh, i remember i had a crush on him! he's a great writer. and how about bj? was he there too? and george?

- im not sure too. but i remember bj still owed us money for the zines he sold on his shop.

yeah, thats ok. a round of san mig light will do. ha!

- better yet, remembered he promised us a copy of their album?

if they still remember us. do you still have copies of Rn'R?

- not sure, maybe.

i lost mine after the renovation of the house. but i managed to save the zines. i still have all of wendy says! haha and wendi's wring.. well, all, that they gave to us for free that is. hehe..

- whats that zine again about beer mug? she was the one who gave us Dredd tickets right?

yep, MUG the zine of marge. i still have them too. and that issue of my interview at wendy says, i got it from that ska zine writer from sampaloc, who bought freedom pad. actually, we just swapped issues.

(non-related chat not included above)

bad days for mary.. nakaka-miss.. comeback or not, i just wish i have a copy of their album..

Dropbox Good Luck Charm

Fresh from one of my the Dropboxes today.. although not specifically said it was for goodluck.. nor why it should be 21.. eh its a bit cheesy but a nice spam nonetheless, so here goes..


Mental Feng Shui

ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their
conversational skills will be as important as any other.

THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

FOUR. When you say, 'I love you,' mean it.

FIVE. When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye!

SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.

EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't
have much.

NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way
to live life completely.

TEN.. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.

TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.

THIRTEEN! When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile
and ask, 'Why do you want to know?'

FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great
risk.

FIFTEEN. Say 'bless you' when you hear someone sneeze.

SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and
Responsibility for all your actions.

EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to
correct it.

TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your
voice.

TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.
