Postcards and the nerdy hat

Here are some late posts of the Seats of Power Postcards made by the Heritage Conservation Society which I bought from Solidaridad Boostore in Manila.

Then the awesome NERD cap from Penshoppe!

Isang munting eksena habang pauwi

Naglalakad sa ilalim ng ambon. Papunta sa masikip kong mundo sa Makati. Sakay ng aircon na bus. Ayun may maluwag. Upo sa harap para madaling makababa. Anong oras na? Tangina bakit video ni Miley Cyrus ang umaandar? Makinig na lang ng MP3 sa cellphone. Mabilis ang byahe. Malamang patay ako sa init kung nasa ordinary ako. Sinasara kasi nila ang bintana kapag umulluan. Kaya aircon ang sinakyan ko ngayon. Pag-baba ng Evanglista umaambon pa rin. Lakad ng konti dun sa pangatlong kanto pa ako sasakay ang tagal kasi sa may terminal ng jeep. Lagpas sa Mercury drug may isa pang jeep na nag-aantay. Ayoko dyan matagal.

Punta ng Julies Bakery. Wala namang mabili na gusto. Antay ulit ng jeep. Wala pa rin.

Ayun meron ng sure na paalis. Sumakay ako. Hay salamat natapos na ang araw. Bukas sana di na masyadong maulan kasi maglalaba ulit ako.

She's Dating the Gangster: The devaluation of what the word gangster means

From the same site that gave us the novel and the coming movie 50 Shades of Grey now Filipinos have tried their best at writing their own novels which I think is good.

But then we have this coming movie adopted from a book named, She's Dating the Gangster starring none other than the King of of all jejemons and people who have ugly pronunciation of English and Filipino (In this case I think Coco Martin as the prince. lol)

So many people on Facebook tried to correct the mistake on the title of the movie. Because we know what the word gangster mean and what they are showing is not even ... I have no idea what they are showing and proving with this movie.

According to the dictionary gangster means:

gang·ster [gang-ster]
noun
a member of a gang of criminals, especially a racketeer.

So clearly what is shown in the poster doesn't look what the standard definition says. I have reposted the pictures and tagged Star Cinema but I know my efforts will be in vain since most probably the shooting for this idiotic movie maybe on going or to my horrors already finished.

This might be another of those the movie is ugly compared to the book and maybe the book will be looked down upon because of this movie. The same that have happened with the Twilight Saga books.

Now I have more reason not to ever watch movies from Star Cinema or even Pinoy movies. I rather watch movies from India and Thailand even without the subtitle.

Come on guys, simply because its Pinoy I should watch it. We should watch a movie because it is good. FUCK that Pinoy pride and talent bullshit.

Want more shit? Here is the trailer.

WARNING THIS SHIT IS SCARY!!!!

I lost my phone, going back to the old one

I just lost my phone today. So there goes all my contacts and at the same time all the songs and pictures that are in my micro SD.

But at least that gives me a clean slate and if people really need me they will exhaust all means just to contact me. I lost all the new photos I took from FEU and from the Heritage Postal Tour.

Well I may try out using the old one but at least I can buy a new phone again and some SIM cards.

I was of course furious with myself for being stupid. I never put my phone on my bag or anything when I am out. So I learned something today and made a blog entry.

Quiapo is such an annoying place at times when I think of it. Or was it the stupid meet-up that caused everything. Maybe I should blame that stupid meet-up.
