25 Things

February 12, 2009

I couldn’t write a real post today (been busy), but since this blog needed to show lifesigns, I instead chose to post my 25 things that everyone’s written as notes in Facebook.

1. Few weeks ago I got a brand-spanking-new CPU. After installing all the apps and the drivers, I vow to avoid doing it again as much as I can. The CPU’s so brand-spanking-new I see slap marks all over it, and they give me nightmarish visions of S&M.

2. I’m a certified dork. Before dorkiness became cat’s meow, I was already bumming my ass for hours playing videogames till I could hear roosters crowing or drunks snoring.

Ye be the judge of which of the two comes later.

3. To further reinforce my dorkiness as authentic and primordial – existing since the dawn of civilization even - I watched manga way before everyone else. Oh yes, it’s true. Did you know that Slam Dunk first played in the Philippines at ABC5? Or that in Taiwan , Yaiba’s name is translated as “Nine Dragon Balls” while Dragonball’s is “Seven Dragon Balls”?

I better stop these geek trivia before I bore everyone to death and then to life again (so that’s a boredom so supreme it spurs reincarnation).

4. True story, I have only fallen asleep once in the theater, and that was when I saw “The Awakenings”. No, I’m not being clever, that happened! It’s a great movie, though; I was merely too young to understand it when I first saw it.

5. I sometimes get this fits of being super annoying in an instant messenger program. I ask people to play paper-scissor-rocks with me there despite knowing that we will in no way come up with a hand simultaneously.

6. Family is becoming even more important as I grow older.

7. I’ve never held a Nintendo Wii all my life. That means I’m still a manly videogamer!

8. I really want to buy a new pair of sneakers. The last one I bought was from year 2005. You might want to write that down!

9. I want to change - change the way I write, the way I think, the way I behave, or the way I view at things. I’m changing not because Obama is inspiring it; I’m changing because I don’t often get the best out of my life and I think I’m at least partially responsible for it.

10. I’ve never used a karaoke all my life. Breaking people’s eardrums is not my favorite way of punishing people.

Err, I don’t have a favorite, if you’re curious.

11. I look forward to having a family vacation in Italy a few years from now.

12. Right now you feel like picking your nose. Oh yes, you do. Don’t you dare deny it!

13. I speak Manfutaglish with my siblings. It’s the amalgam of Mandarin, Fukien , English and Tagalog. Nobody can seem to comprehend it.

14. I don’t watch TV at all. I play videogames, I watch movies, I read books, I listen to music, I surf the net, but I just don’t watch TV – except for the occasional NBA games, that is.

15. Speaking of music, everybody knows me as a jazz aficionado. Some of my favorite jazz musicians are Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Thelonious Monk, Billie Holiday, and Sonny Rollins. I also like soul music and some early-day RnB’s, especially songs by Stevie Wonder, Donnie Hathaway, and Gil Scott Heron.

16. I really really really really like quoting videogames.

“How are you gentlemen!”
“The president is kidnapped by ninjas! Are you bad enough dude to rescue the president?”
“Kick, punch, it’s all in the mind!”
“What is a man! A miserable little pile of secrets!”
“Heaven or hell, let’s rock!”
“Can love bloom in the battlefield?”

17. I am right now craving for calamansi juice, buko juice, and dalandan juice.

18. When this year began, I promised to myself that I will improve my drawing skills.

19. I started a chat with someone a while ago. I asked “how are you?” she replied “I’m good” and I said “of course you are. I don’t expect you to be evil. I expect you to be good.”

The king of lame comments is I.

20. I don’t like our new NAIA Terminal 3 (airport) at all. The queue for any booths at NAIA3 was unbearably long and the immigration was unbelievably understaffed. It’s so unbelievably understaffed that for one moment I thought I arrived at the airport of East Timor. I’ve never been to East Timor , but I believe their airport is understaffed too, for whatever reasons.

21. I always geek out by how much mangas there are in Taiwan . I can’t keep up at all. My bank account sympathizes.

22. I deleted my plurk account. Too much noise. I went back to Twitter and I prefer my friends in Facebook anyway. They’re nicer. And lovelier. And smarter. And smells better too. Plus I can be unbelievably chatty there and no one would complain. They’d merely fall sleep. Hey, wake up!

Anyway, my twitter account is twitter.com/nightdreamer.

23. I find going to clubs to be a futile pursuit. There’s nothing that anyone can do there to deepen their relationship with their friends that can’t be done elsewhere, plus the “acquaintances” met there are rarely there to establish long-term relationships anyway.

24. Contrary to popular belief, I’m no Mr. Congeniality. If you think I’m nice, that’s because I think it’s less trouble to be pleasant than it is to be an ass. I hate the stress that comes from being hostile to people, so if I don’t like someone, I just snub them off.

25. I’ve once been driven out of classroom because I’ve fallen asleep while a teacher rants about his house’s malfunctioning air conditioner. I’ve since learned to respect air conditioners more. They have feelings too.
