Entertainment

its funny how people fuss over wowowee and eat-bulaga. what i find entertaining here are not the shows but the people who argue about what was created to entertain them.

the media only produce things that mediocre people find entertaining. sadly, the media does not help in the development of its viewers.

it's good business to cater to the common idiot (rather than to persuade the audience to watch informative shows that can inspire and promote intelligence). you just have to come up with upbeat-and-meaningless songs and mix it with sexually suggestive dance steps.

these shows from the media, these songs from so-called artists, these things that we call entertainment can ensure that we degenerate back to the fur-covered-dung-hurling primates that we once were.

I Lost a Girlfriend

two years ago i started writing a fanfic for my home server in pRO. the reason why i stopped writing was because my girlfriend broke up with me...

due to lack of inspiration and a broken heart, i lost interest in writing. well, that was two years ago. today, i would like to share with you how we broke up and our last exchange of text messages.

day A: we went to manila to meet up with our guildmates.

early in the morning at around 8 o'clock, we took the bus for manila and headed to our guild's home-base for an eb (eye-ball/meeting). we stayed, had a little chat, pk-ed some players, and conquered some castles. after woe (war of the emperium), my guildmates insisted that i get my hunter to level 99. (i was at level 98 back then.) after spending some hours in the guild dungeon, mvp-ing, and player-killing i finally had my mighty blue aura. that was the greatest moment of my ragnarok online life.

i stood up and thanked my guildmates for helping me reach perfection. we had a couple of laughs and then my cellphone suddenly rang... yes, you guessed it right. my gf was mad because i did not text her the entire day and she even demanded that i go home at that very hour.

day B: i was having lunch at a "carinderia" when my friends came over and asked me to go boss-hunting.

there i was having a peaceful meal when my girlfriend called up and asked me to come over. being the good boyfriend that i was, i told her that i would be there in an hour. after finishing my meal, my friends came over and asked for help in hunting down mvp monsters. since i had 30 minutes to spare, i joined them. we took down a couple of bosses... and then some.. and then some more... and i totally forgot about our date.

day C: and every wednesday.

let's put the blame on level-up for scheduling woe on wednesdays. because wednesday is "watch-a-movie-with-my-girlfriend-day", we often argue and debate about finishing the movie.

well... she finally got fed up and broke with me after a month. (and got herself a new boyfriend after a few months.)

day Z: i only had 50 pesos in my wallet (which i could use to purchase an 8-hour prepaid gaming card)

after months of no communication whatsoever, she texted me... the message/quote was something like... she does not really love the person that she's with, and that she still loves me, but she can't do anything because she doesn't want to break anybody's heart

seeing it as an opportunity, i erased all thoughts of topping-up for my game and i ran to the nearest "sari-sari" store and bought prepaid credits for my cellphone instead. i was so happy and i immediately sent her a response.

me: "bakit hindi ka pa bumalik?"
her: "ha? sorry wrong send... sorry ha, naka send to all kasi."

Shit.
