Block It

go to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\etc
open the hosts file with notepad.

you will see this:

Lucky First

simply for having a family name that begins with the letter 'A', i always get to be the first in the class list. always the first one in the seating arrangement. and thanks to my height, i always get to be the first in line.

it's like being the first monkey to be blasted off to outer space. i always get to be the experimental guinea pig. people just watch there and make comments about you blowing shit off and screwing it up. you always get to be the basis of something sucky. being the lucky first, you do not have any idea on what you are supposed to do... you're always the clueless cat - wondering why you can't dig through concrete when you need to take your dump so badly.

you don't get much recognition for pioneering things because you probably suck at it, or.. you suck at it so bad that it can give you fame that can last for 10 years.

people are just scared to be the first, they are afraid to fail. they are the virgin guys who don't know where to shoot the cock without a dirty whore to guide them.

to all those who get to be the lucky first..., this is for you.

for your bravery, for your risk taking, for your failures, for your success, for your footsteps.

Fork and Spoons

the filipino dining room... a large "last supper" picture, "toyo" and "patis" stain-rings on placemats and a pair of big ass spoon and fork on the walls. what's up with these shovel-large-spoons and pitch-fork-large-forks?

here's a good story that i've heard about them.

they are used in heaven as well as in hell. you'd think that in heaven you'll get an angel stuffing your fat face with grapes. no! you get big ass spoons and forks. same as in hell. so the problem is..., how the fuck do you eat with these utensils.

so what makes hell different from heaven?

in heaven, people are kind enough to spoon-feed their fellow men. you cannot feed yourself with these gigantic spoons, but you can feed your friend. and he can feed you. hence, the people in heaven are happier than those people in hell who only think of themselves, trying with all their might to feed themselves but won't ever succeed.

My Tribute

my first post will be dedicated to those people who already passed away. no, i'm not about to go emo on this blog. these people are very dear to me and i wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them.

first, my dad..., ah yes... the typical alpha-male. values order and thinking. a terror too. imagine yourself as a kid who gets whipped in the ass with a belt or a balloon stick.. (the sticks they use for stick-version-balloons sold in nearby churches. i learned to dislike balloons because of that)

i remember asking him to help me with my homework... "dad, could ya like answer these questions for me?" "read your book first, then ask me for help if still don't know the answers" *goes back to reading his religious articles* *me scratching my head and opening my book*

"do you still have a question?" "nah, i think i got it now"

second, my mom.., the do-it-all-for-her-kids-type-of-mom. ah yes, i lived the good life back then. she can cook, clean, and talk-a-lot just like the typical mom. she's the defender, and possibly the one who spoiled us. just like a super mom, fevers can't stop her.

simple and courageous.

last but certainly not least my uncle. my kabarkada in our house. thought me much about "diskarte" and used to tell me... "pagagawa mo na naman sa akin, paano kung wala na ako?" the alcoholic-and-sabongero-guy, but never loses control. my partner in crime.., i was his sidekick in catching pythons.. yes, we catch snakes together.. not that i help much) when these snakes come to eat the chicken that he breeds. he used to breed these "texas" chickens and i get to take care of the "bonsais."

so, here's to you guys.

i don't think i'll say too many "i-love-you"'s in this lifetime.

i love you guys. rest in peace.
