things one does when one can’t do anything
Napanood ko na finally ang Burlesk Queen, the original version kung saan andoon si ate Vi, Rollie Quizon, Jonee Gamboa, Leopoldo Salcedo (ang gwapo ng matandang ito, sumalangit nawa…), Rosemarie Gil, et. al. At bakit kung kelan bumili ng original (VCD nga lang kasi ang kopyang nabili ko noon) e saka pa bitin ang ending? Sa tagal na noong nabili ko ito ewan ko kung puwede ko pa itong isauli. Anyway, I was waiting for the famous ending — where Chato (the burlesque queen) bleeds and where Canuplin, et.al. walk away… I remember the image but I never saw how it built up to that point. sometimes it’s not enough to just know the context.
Pero napatawa ako sa isang part ng pelikula. At some point the band of Rollie Quizon was introduced. Their name? The Gay Rockers. Napahalakhak ako!

I wonder if you always use the T-9 dictionary of the celphone. Yung predictive texting. You have to be careful, though. When I was looking for blood donors, what came out at first was "alone" donors. So napa-"Huh?" ang napadalhan ko ng text. Try pressing the keys to spell the word using predictive texting (yung naka-underline ang abc) then you’ll find that other words are spelled using these same keys (talagang walang magawa pag may sakit). So pressing the ff. numbers on your keypad: 3-6-6-3 may produce "food" or "done" (just press the asterisk key or * to change selection). It could be really strange sometimes, because some of these words seem to relate to each other or some are opposites… although I forgot which words really got me laughing. So be careful.
food = done
reject = select
honor = goons
germ = hero
trial = trick
funny = dummy
so when you text someone, "Please select him," you might end up sending "please reject him" or when you text "you’re funny" make sure it’s not "you’re dummy."
Or you could always switch to the good ol’ abbreviated texting.

may undesirable words ba sa cellphone? Or am I being overly dramatic by saying "there’s censorship in cellphones!" Bakit wala sa dictionary nito ang "shit," "crap," and the F word. merong "fart" or maybe I just added it there. hehe…

Yehey for NU 107’s Crossroads, one of my favorite blues and rock-n-roll radio programs (every Tuesday 9 pm). They featured songs from Woodstock. It’s the great music festival’s 38th anniversary. I sometimes feel like my soul belonged to the era. I just loved hearing Hendrix (kabirthday ko), Janis Joplin, The Who, Crosby Stills Nash’s version of Joni MItchell’s "Woodstock" and augh! there are too many to mention. I heard the DJ say there were 216 songs sang (or was it 261) during that 3-day happening. I keep watching the documentary and I cry sometimes seeing how awesome awesome it was. Haaay…

Na-guest noon si Roger Daltrey ng The Who sa CSI. I guess The Who is a favorite of the show’s creators. They use their songs in the series ("Who are You" in the first CSI set in Las Vegas and "Baba O’Reiley" in CSI:NY), so I guess they got a kick out of guesting Daltrey himself. I loved listening to The Who. I guess I love British (or that side of the world) rock more than American rock. But then, saka na nga talaga ang tungkol diyan.
