A Very Special Love

Nope! This is not a movie review nor another love story of us Greta. This is something else that even I myself was surprised.


Grets....kami na ni John Loyd!



I was on my way to the airport lounge when I found John. I was hesitant to approach but he was just too irresistable. So, i called him and said, Hey, John, can I have a photo of you. My girlfriend is such a crazy big fan of you! Click! then, my world fell. I was smiling throughout my walk to my plane seat. Following him, I snobbed Melissa Riggs (that Blair-wannabe), Matt, Earth Wind and Fire and Parokya ni Edgar.

John Loyd was my world and I didnt get my smile off even until i reached Manila

Bahala na wala ko kakita sa buong movie nila ni Sarah! (Ye, I watched it half with a friend in Gateway. Thanks to the Aranetas and Roxases, for the free tickets). I was still luckier than my (drooling) officemates. I have John Loyd with me on my hands este, my phone hahaha

Polardep

Definitely, Polardep is not the first electronica scene in the durian republic, but the Plastic Butter. Polardep is the first to explore the deeper noise of electronic music. Equipped with terrifying (being really new) gadgets, harrowing effects and the near attempt of mimicking Teardrop of my biggest favorite Massive Attack, they impressed me and the crowd.

Wow! But not a complete awe.

Their (echoing) vocals was mashed by their overwhelming synth. They could had been perfect―or more suave―if their music offered more space for lyrical and vocal clarity. Well, Massive Attack is massively heavy with musical effects and multiple vocals, yet they are so damn clear with singing. But of course, they are Massive Attack and Polardep is an infant protege.

But i am so happy with their risky act. Worth a delay of my planned sleep.

Thanks to Joseph of Keyk for introducing me this band. Polardep is another following. And no! WeRideDynamite is not on the same league with Polardep. WeRideDynamite is raw rock.

So, rock on for both!

Assalamu Alaikum, Our Muslim Brothers

Ok! The 1935 Constitution unconstitutionally took Mindanao away from the Bangsamoros to form. Thereby, framing the MOA-AD constitutionally is itself a cliche.

It is here that I agree with the Moros.

But what should frame the MOA-AD? Islamic principles? Muslim autonomy?

Probably (and definitely, for our Muslim brothers), yes!

But on what premise are they framing MOA-AD on Islamic principles or Muslim autonomy? Are they up for Islamic state? Name one Islamic state, please. Not even Saudi Arabia or Indonesia or Malaysia is an Islamic state. Why? That is another story I have to recollect from my Muslim brothers and scholars for explaining.

On Muslim autonomy? I think, the government already gave them that. But what happened? The autonomy has made or kept them the poorest and most corrupt (during elections) in the land.

Why are you, our Muslim brothers, so desperate to have that MOA-AD signed? Isn't PEACE and COEXISTENCE that Allah strongly preached for?

We could coexist peacefully, just like when Prophet Mohammed, along with other Muslims, migrated and lived with the famous Christian King of Abyssinia.

To quote An-Nisa':128, "reconciliation is the best."

Join the School of Peace (poli-novela)

I, for one, stand for Mindanao peace! I am a Mindanaon and i know people outside our island is "cashing in" on this hyper-publicized conflict in Mindanao, when IN FACT, we are PEACEFUL here.

Damn those popular media who exaggerate our peace condition here!

Ye, true! we do have some "violent skirmishes" here but Luzon and Visayas also have those. We are practically just more peaceful here because we have lesser petty crimes.

Travel and stay here. Walk around and know the people and you'd see, Luzon and Visayas are indeed not quite safer than Mindanao. Re-think your old thoughts about Mindanao and youd be surprise!

I do disagree with the MOA-AD and its speculative consequences, particularly the possibly "extension of the President". I think, this is the bigger issue and not Mindanao peace.

If GMA would be out after 2010, definitely the MOA-AD would not matter at all!

if you are indeed for Mindanao peace, then work here in Mindanao!! there is no better way to achieve peace than this because PEACE IS NEVER AN ABSENCE OF CONFLICT, IT IS AN ABSENCE OF SOLUTIONS!

Sarah Geronimo and My Soft Spot

I just bribed Greta to buy her one HerBench top in exchange of a....Sarah Geronimo's poster (as shown).

I did! Honestly! But Greta did not buy in my bribe. She just could not take to ask a poster because she is not a fan of Sarah Geronimo.

Ye! I am fan of the popstar, but not fanatic. I just admired her climb to fame with less damage on her reputation. And damn! she just surprisingly turned beautiful. Belo beneficiary, must be. But anyway, she is a clean popstar.

I still have not watched her movie, A Very Special Love. It was a hit (daw) and really funny. None has yet commented bad on it. So, it must be.

I have failed to convince my girlfriend, Dax and other friends, as well. So, anyone who have not watch it or wants to watch it again, I will treat you to accompany me. hehehe

If you are another male, hiding its soft spot on popstars like Sarah Geronimo or Gossip Girl, we can pretend to be in the wrong cinema and exclaim, Tangina, pre, akala ko Star Wars 'tong binili natin na ticket!!

That definitely would save our arses.

So,who's watching A Very Special Love with me? it would be cool, man

WeRideDynamite

Certainly, Davao's Sonic Youth.

Tinatapon Lang Durian sa Davao

You have heard bananas fed to pigs and monkeys in Mindanao, while Luzon scram to buy them at more than P20. Today, durian are share the same fate. They are abundantly thrown to the street...to the street vendors.

Durian filled the street of Davao city as the city is close in celebrating Kadayawan-a feast of abundant harvest. Drive away from Anda, Bankerohan, Magsaysay and Ponciano, if you are allergic to its foul (but never, in fact) smell.

Im quite suprised though of its price. I was expecting it to be cheaper with more supplies. Well, i am not furiously complaining. I am giving that economic monopoly to the small durian growers and traders. Kadayawan is one of those rare economic opportunities for most of us.

Happy Kadayawan!

Fag You, Too

Most people thought I am gay. I even once heard my boss said I was only pretending (atik-atik, to specifically quote) to be straight.

I already went through this identification and re-doing it after my gay boss handed me yesterday 2 pink films—Shelter and The Making of Me: John Barrowman.

Of course, I am straight was my quick reserve.

Shocks! I hope am not after the 2 films.

So, I watched.

Shelter was a fiction film of a teen becoming gay. The film was nice and honestly, I smiled on 1 bed scene and their happy homo moments. My smile could definitely confirm your doubts, but I am reserving my laugh.

The documentary The Making of Me was more revealing of my sexuality at the quest of whether sexuality (homosexuality, per se) is nurtured or born.

I reflected every test that John Barrow undertook.

Test 1: I am gay because I have gaydar (gay radar). Gays, they say, can detect gays.

Test 2: I am straight because I have a perfect sexual arousal on women. Though I occasionally tried staring (not look) at nude male photos that caught my eye, I always ended un-aroused.

Test 3: I am gay because I had a distant absent father and was a mother’s boy. Theories say gay men often have such fathers and overbearing mothers.

Test 4: I am straight because I played cars, guns and other boy toys. I never liked my sisters’ toys. Though I admit, I played bahay-bahayan. Believe me, I wanted to be the husband of my crush—a girl, of course. I was gender conforming. I played what boys ought to play. Moreover, according to child psychologists, gender nonconforming often ended up homosexuals.

Test 5: I am gay because I score high in spatial skill tests. The university who tested John found that gays equally scored high with females.

Test 6: I am straight because I am not wordy, verbose and good in word skill tests. Gays are verbose

Test 7: I am straight because I have ring fingers longer than my index. It is studied that females often have equal or almost equal ring and index fingers. Moreover, longer ring fingers meant more testosterone.

Test 8: I am straight because I do not have older brother/s. Well, the probability of men becoming gay is high when you have more older brothers.

So, here goes my reserved laugh.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Though I did not test my chromosome to be similar with my sisters and mother, the facts are clear(er). I AM AFFIRMATIVE STRAIGHT. 5 straights-3 gays!

OMFG

O.My.Fucking.God.

God is soooo good despite of me, not being a regular churchgoer and even prayerful. being a devotee is too unimaginable and only on meals that I pray.

God has A-L-W-A-Y-S been good to me for 30 years. Swear!

• from my so supportive parents to my 2 sisters who have always helped me away from being beaten by my disciplinarian mother every time i play past 8pm;
• from good friends whom i have not been so regular with to my 9 independent professional years;
  
• from material endowments to travel frenzies;
  
• from daily breads to my wonderful girlfriend, Greta;

God has never left me and I never had a single day that he left me with only a peso in the pocket and dark moments that seem eternal! I even wondered once, Jesus must be my brother and I am the Third Messiah (just resisting to be one).

I was afraid too for not experiencing hardships. Ye, it is tough to be so blessed that I once prayed so hard to God to give me blues. But He never did.

Oh My Fucking God, thank you so much!

Call Me Michael...Michael Sibbaluca

a friend, ipangalan na lang natin si Kung Fu Panda, texted me today, palit ka baby armalite with infrared o .45 caliber with 10 rounds hallow point na bala o brand new mp-5 submachine gun?

without a dark surprise, I asked another friend—an avid gun buyer and a.k.a. David Cook!—of their market price.

HK MP5D = PhP180,000.00
M16 carbine (a.k.a baby armalite) without infrared = PhP70,000.00
brand new Colt M4 with red dot scope, flashlight, vertical grip = PhP170,000.00
.45 or the kwarentay singko = PhP17,000.00-PhP200,000


my first friend price list is cheaper though:

HK MP5D = almost PhP50,000.00
M16 carbine (a.k.a baby armalite) without infrared = PhP30,000.00++
.45 or the kwarentay singko = PhP15,000.00


i was chuckling with i was in. must be a joke but 'tangina! hefty trade 'to ah!

suddenly, both friends, altogether in exact time, shag off a certain degree of black trading. Kung Fu Panda advised to personally discuss the gun specifications. International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) might intercept our text messages; David Cook on the other hand advised to conceal his identity.

i was scared, but, hey, i have never been into black gun trade, i thought. this is cool!

then, boom! I AM IN THE GUN TRADE! i instantly found myself trading information between 2 friends of other "stocks" they have. I felt like Nicolas Cage in the Lord of Wars movie.

"Man, guns are cheap here in Mindanao!" Market dynamics are however different in the mainland and islands (Sulu, Basilan, Tawi-Tawi, per se). Mainland sells cheaper while the islands sell expensive guns during elections. O well, supply determines it. just find where our most "A-forces" troop in.

so, call me! call me Michael.....Michael Sibbaluca
