Influx of Hodgepodge

February 12, 2008

Sounds like the title of an awful rockband, doesn’t it? I feel the same way about "Quantum of Solace", by the way.

How about a jazz song before we begin?

Deep Night (Sonny Clark)

First, a shout-out, yet again (well, two). I found a blog called "Voice of the the Filipinos". It is unrelated to Chavit Singson, incidentally and thank-God-a-lly. Go and bookmark it. Better yet, memorize the link. It’s simply www.tingog.com. Amazangly easy to remember for those who know that Tingog is the vernacular for voice. Ilonggo in particular. Bisaya too, perhaps. Man, me and my unnecessary rodomontades. Anyway, it’s a newspaper’s editorial kind of blog, which means the author, nick, writes the current events of the Philippines and his thought about them, duh! The same thing applies to another one with a hilarious title "Tongue In, Anew". Unfortunately, the latter’s updates are few and far in between. I’m not a fan of the "update your blog everyday" mindset (really, that’s stressful), but, for an author as well-spoken as Tongue’s, he sure could post his views more frequently. Like, once a week.

Anyway, both blogs are in my dope list. Why? Coz they dope, yo!

I forgot to add a couple more: Manila Bay Watch and Etcetera etcetera. I don’t know what it is with me being obsessed with current-events blogs lately. Could be that I’m sick and tired of our government and can’t wait for change to come. And change is gonna come. I just hope it’s the Sam Cooke’s way and not the Vilma Santos’s corny "pagbabago" ballyhoo way. I visited MBW half a year ago, but stopped because the blog became ads-infested. Looks like it’s been fixed now, though, which means I can now go back to reading the good articles there. Yipee. I only found etcetera etcetera today, and don’t have a lot of opinion for it yet, but initial impressions are positive. And wow I must’ve forgotten how to stand after seeing the author’s profile pic, what with that 1000-watts smile. Have you ever been to electric ladyland?

Damn, they make me wish to be more knowledgeable about politics to write at length about them, but how could I even match the authors of any of the blogs I’ve referred above? Meanwhile, the only things I have an intimate knowledge of are stuff nobody cares about, like REAL jazz music (and not some Dave Koz lounge-y garbage) and fictions that aren’t Natio-featured.

It’s never wrong to pay others compliments, especially if you’re sincere about it. You make others happy, and you don’t feel so bad yourself. It’s a win-win.

I also frequent Ramblingvirus’s blog. I’m sure this is a description that will incite the cringing from all blogosphere cracks - collective idiots in other words - but I sure do like to make people suffer, so (PLEASE DO NOT CLICK THE BACK BUTTON): He’s kind of like a more levelheaded me. Hahaha! Or am I merely a more colorful he? Well, one thing is for certain, I ramble on for far longer than he does, for better or worse. Or should I say, nolens volens? Damn Latin words sure do make people sound smart. I’m being facetious.

Which reminds me, dictionary.reference.com, a site that I frequent, told me of some new killer app they cooked up: The reverse dictionary!

The reverse dictionary lets you go from a concept/idea/definition to words and phrases used to describe that concept. You can enter a single word, phrase, or a few words and hit the "Reverse Search" button.

Alas, it’s not as killer as I hoped. For one, I don’t get results when I reverse search "monkey’s ass", "superman dat ho", "ninja", "zombie", "douchebag" and "light sabers". Lamers. Heck, I reverse searched "crime" and didn’t get PGMA as a result, and not even Dubya. Good grief, anyone who don’t tag "crime" with them are LEARNING IMPAIRED! Bah, Urban Dictionary ftw!

It sure does sound like a happy day for me. It is. I mean, I don’t have a lot of reasons to be happy and perhaps not having a date in Feb 14 should make me bitter, being enmeshed in the season of hearts alone yet again and all, but I’m just happy. The simple reason being, I slept early yesterday. Yay! Sleeping early is always a better way to revitalize, better anyway than drinking tons of caffeinated drink so as to operate like a zombie-panda with the breath of Raul Gonzales and Miriam Defensor Santiago (damn, that oughta be fragrant!). I hope everyone still remembers that.

Get a Play-Doh and bring it to work. It’s cheap (P20 only) and it’s good for you - what better way to relieve stress than to apply pressure on such protean plaything?

Lastly, 2 pointless IM Conversations:

Me: I just went to Shanghai.

Dude: What’s that?

Me: (SERIOUSLY??!! but, kept composure): It’s a city in China.

Dude: O.

Dude: So did you get to see Shaolin Monks doing kung fu.

Me: No, no fancy kung fu for me.

Me: The thing I’ve seen that came closest to that was some fancy Crouching Tiger flying.

[Note: I’m not lying.]

Dude: Awesome!

Me: But too bad, I didn’t get to see bald guys breaking stuffs with their head

Me: And getting chronic migraine for the rest of their lives.

nightdreamer: so, you have someone to spend your valentine’s day with? (note: THIS IS A CASUAL QUESTION!)

elsie: yes of course…

elsie: hihhihi

elsie: kaw?

nightdreamer: nope. nada. single still.

elsie: hahaha

elsie: still?

elsie: single?

elsie: o c’mon

nightdreamer: huh? what’s so unbelievable about that? i’m not like a prince charming or anything.

elsie: nyek

elsie: you are

nightdreamer: huwaw that’s the first time anyone actually said something like that. BLOG NA!

I just subscribed to Tingog.com, thanks!

Anytime. Hope you don’t forget Manila Bay Watch and etcetera etcetera too, as I edited this post for writing about them.

Posted by nightdreamer at February 12, 2008, 1:50 pm

I’m glad you found Nick’s Tingog.com. He’s been a mover of different projects and had been very successful too. MBW is one of the finest reads around. She has another blog which caters to international affairs and you may find it highly informative too.

Are you my long lost son?

Hahahahaha!

Thanks very much for the citation. I am humbled by your comments.

I don’t understand though the comment about bloggers cringing. Kindly enlighten an ignorant mind.

Posted by virus at February 13, 2008, 7:50 am

Ok, virus, allow me.

I don’t think I’m as notorious, excuse me, famous (hehehe) a blogger as you are, so when I say I’m somewhat similar to you, some, err, unenlightened folks just might cringe. So why did I do such thing? Wala lang, too lazy to come up with something more creative, I guess.

You’re definitely better than me, that’s a given. Mas experienced eh.

Posted by nightdreamer at February 13, 2008, 9:13 am

thanks for the shout-out, yo!
glad to have stumbled upon your page.
initial impressions are positive as well

Posted by Jen at February 13, 2008, 11:19 am

Thanks. And I always acknowledge great bloggers.

Posted by nightdreamer at February 13, 2008, 11:23 am

Hahahaha! Notorious yes. Famous? No. Maybe infamous. Hehehehe.

Experienced, hmmmmm, maybe, but still much to learn. I’m sure there are more can of worms or pandora’s boxes that I have yet to open. Only time will tell. hehehehe

Thanks man!
