Bisikleta

Bisikleta
by tannix

eto ako at walang preno
sakay sa bisikleta ng ating pagmamahalan
dere-derecho pababa sa burol
kung nasaan ang mapait na pamamaalam

minamadali ko na ang pagpapaandar
itinotodo ko na ang pagpedal
gusto ko nang rumagasa
at bumulusok paibaba tungo sa kabiguan

babangga sa pader ng kalungkutan
magtatamo ng mga galos ng pighati
at mga sugat ng mga ala-ala
na walang kasing-sakit

pinilit ko pang ipadyak
tayong dalawa paitaas
ubos-lakas na pagsisikap
ibinuhos kong lahat para sa atin

subalit napagod na ako sa pagpadyak
ng bisikleta ng ating ibigan
paitaas sa burol kung san naroon
ang dati nating matamis na samahan

humantong na ako sa pag-akay paakyat
subalit inabutan na ako ng pagod
wala pa man sa kalagitnaan
patungo sa tuktok ng pagkakabalikan

ngayon ay wala nang hahadlang pa
sa pagpapasalida ko paibaba
sa ating bisikleta
na ako lang ang nagdadala

bakit nga ba humantong sa ganoon
ang ating pagsasamahan
mainit pa nung panimula
subalit ngayo'y dama ko na ang kalamigan

kalamigan ng simoy ng pag-iisa
di tulad nung kaangkas kita
puno ng init at maligaya nating binabagtas
ang daan ng kaligayahan

hindi ko na ililiko
ang manibela ng bisikleta
tuloy-tuloy ang pagpapatakbo ko
at kailanmn ay di na babalik pa

narito ako't paibaba na ng burol
bumubulusok at rumaragasa
lilimutin kong pilit ang dahilan
kung bakit ka umangkas sa bisikleta ng iba

based on personal experience? I don't think so.

Java

I've been in RD for the past three months now.

I've been quite "busy" reviewing for the SCJP exam and I must say that it has drained all the perseverance and enthusiasm in me. It is one heck of an exam.

I've been eating Java ever since I came to RD, and I can't comprehend anymore.

By the way, here's the SCJP Objectives for this upcoming exam.

Taken at Javaranch

Section 1 Declarations and Access Control Write code that declares, constructs, and initializes arrays of any base type using any of the permitted forms both for declaration and for initialization. Declare classes, inner classes, methods, instance variables, static variables, and automatic (method local) variables making appropriate use of all permitted modifiers (such as public, final,static, abstract, and so forth). State the significance of each of these modifiers both singly and in combination, and state the effect of package relationships on declared items qualified by these modifiers. For a given class, determine if a default constructor will be created, and if so, state the prototype of that constructor. State the legal return types for any method given the declarations of all related methods in this or parent classes. Section 2 FLOW CONTROL AND EXCEPTION HANDLING Write code using if and switch statements and identify legal argument types for these statements. Write code using all forms of loops including labeled and unlabeled use of break and continue, and state the values taken by loop control variables during and after loop execution. Write code that makes proper use of exceptions and exception handling clauses (try, catch, finally) and declares methods and overriding methods that throw exceptions. Section 3 Garbage Collection State the behavior that is guaranteed by the garbage collection system, and write code that explicitly makes objects eligible for collection. Section 4 Language Fundamentals Identify correctly constructed source files, package declarations, import statements, class declarations (of all forms including inner classes), interface declarations and implementations (for java.lang.Runnable or other interface described in the test), method declarations (including the main method that is used to start execution of a class), variable declarations and identifiers. State the correspondence between index values in the argument array passed to a main method and command line arguments. Identify all Java Programming Language keywords and correctly constructed identifiers. State the effect of using a variable or array element of any kind when no explicit assignment has been made to it. State the range of all primitive data types and declare literal values for String and all primitive types using all permitted formats, bases, and representations. Section 5 Operators and assignments Determine the result of applying any operator, including assignment operators, instanceof, and casts to operands of any type, class, scope, or accessibility, or any combination of these. Determine the result of applying the boolean equals(Object) method to objects of any combination of the classes java.lang.String, java.lang.Boolean, and java.lang.Object. In an expression involving the operators &, |, &&, ||, and variables of known values state which operands are evaluated and the value of the expression. Determine the effect upon objects and primitive values of passing variables into methods and performing assignments or other modifying operations in that method. Section 6 Overloading, Overriding, Runtime Type, and Object Orientation State the benefits of encapsulation in object oriented design and write code that implements tightly encapsulated classes and the relationships "is a" and "has a". Write code to invoke overridden or overloaded methods and parental or overloaded constructors; and describe the effect of invoking these methods. Write code to construct instances of any concrete class including normal top level classes, inner classes, static inner classes, and anonymous inner classes. Section 7 Threads Write code to define, instantiate, and start new threads using both java.lang.Thread and java.lang.Runnable. Recognize conditions that might prevent a thread from executing. Write code using synchronized, wait, notify, or notifyAll, to protect against concurrent access problems and to communicate between threads. Define the interaction between threads and between threads and object locks when executing synchronized, wait, notify, or notifyAll. Section 8 The java.awt PACKAGE Write code using component, container, and LayoutManager classes of the java.awt package to present a GUI with specified appearance and resize behavior, and distinguish the responsibilities of layout managers from those of containers. Write code to implement listener classes and methods, and in listener methods, extract information from the event to determine the affected component, mouse position, nature, and time of the event. State the event classname for any specified event listener interface in the java.awt.event package. Section 9 The java.lang PACKAGE Write code using the following methods of the java.lang.Math class: abs, ceil, floor, max, min, random, round, sin, cos, tan, sqrt. Describe the significance of the immutability of String objects. Section 10 The java.util PACKAGE Make appropriate selection of collection classes/interfaces to suit specified behavior requirements. Section 11 The java.io PACKAGE Write code that uses objects of the file class to navigate a file system. Write code that uses objects of the classes InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter to translate between Unicode and either platform default or ISO 8859-1 character encoding and Distinguish between conditions under which platform default encoding conversion should be used and conditions under which a specific conversion should be used. Select valid constructor arguments for FilterInputStream and FilterOutputStream subclasses from a list of classes in the java.io.package. Write appropriate code to read, write and update files using FileInputStream, FileOutputStream, and RandomAccessFile objects. Describe the permanent effects on the file system of constructing and using FileInputStream, FileOutputStream, and RandomAccessFile objects

I am certainly not expecting anyone to read that. I don't even read those objectives myself.

You see, those are the goals you need to attain in order to pass the exam.

And me? I don't even know at least a tenth of what it contains.

Goodluck to me then.

Short Scenario : Do You Have A Crush?

My mom was talking to my eldest sister about his sons Mico and Anton.


Nay: Si Mico, di kagaya ni Anton na magarbo ang mga laruan. Wala nang masyadong laruan si Mico ngayon.

Ate: Eh matanda na naman yan eh. Next year teenager na yan.

Nay: Oo nga eh, matanda na yang si Mico. Do you have a crush na Mico? In your school?


*Mico studies in Lourdes School of Mandaluyong. That's an ALL BOYS school*

Tooth Decay

This pain is nearing it's unbearable state. It started out as a minor pain. It grew. And now it's devastating.

This damn tooth is getting into my nerves. Literally.

I know I'm not a great big fan of dentists, and I seldom prioritize my teeth, even if they are in the brink of extinction, and of course decay.

Most of my molars have already started to accumulate decays and stains due to my favorite habit of "skipping toothbrushing".

I know most dentist would now sue me because of murdering their customer. And I have certainly lost a favorable spot for being one of Colgate's top endorser. What a shame.

And as a parent to these set of teeth, I would be imprisoned for not giving them a bright future and a long life. I'm sure the departed milk teeth, which is the founding fathers of my current teeth would haunt me for all eternity, for being such an irresponsible master and letting them die one by one.

It's been more than three months since the decay started. It first started as a black stain on the sides of the teeth. Then later on, I felt that it was starting to have a crack, and then proceeded on with the hole.

I wasn't quite sure of how deep the hole was. Last time I checked and pierced it with a toothpick(yeah, I know that's ILLEGAL), I felt an itch within my eyeball. And then a few days later, I pierced it again and the inside of my head started to have a feeling of being punctured every time I push that toothpick up my teeth. Must be a grand canyon-of-a-hole I have there.

The pain I feel now is not an ordinary pain, but a pain that can only be handled by a guy of my caliber. Someone strong enough to tolerate this kind of pain. I am not a fan of Manny and his Alaxan tactics so I'd just sleep this pain off and hope that it'll be all okay in the morning. I remind you that this is not an ordinary pain.

This is the kind of pain the Mike Tyson would cry to.
This is the kind of pain that FPJ would cry to whenever he's been hit by his opponents in one of his movies(and FPJ being hit rarely happens).
This is the pain that can make Manny Pacquiao's English all better.

This is the kind of pain that spies give up to.

Oh yeah. This is that kind of pain. And I can live with it. This is not Armageddon. This is not One More Chance. This is not Princess Sarah.

I will not cry just because of a toothache.

It's just the same as piercing your brow, or your lip with needles. Tingling at first, and then it start to itch, then it starts to squeeze the tear out your eye.

*Sigh* Why didn't I listen to the dentists.

And so, with this experience, I present to you the tips on how to avoid tooth decay.

TOOTHTOOTHTOOTHTOOTHTOOTHTOOTHTOOTHTOOTHTOOTHTOOTHTOOTH

*tips to avoid tooth decay*

1. Brush your teeth every night, every day, every minute up until your teeth have been erased, your gums have been torn apart, your toothpaste all consumed, and the bristles of your toothbrush blow up. If your not satisfied with the way you brush, then use a metal grinder for more effective results.

2. Don't venture too much on sweets. If you and your gf/bf is sweet, don't try to lick and taste each other. Don't get friendly with Willy Wonka, Hershey, M&M's, and Maxx. For the homosexuals, try to stay away from Chupa Chups.

3. Always floss your teeth. Use only the necessary materials for flossing such as strands of hair, nylon threads, sewing threads, metal wires, fingernails, and shoelaces.

4. Always brush your teeth before, during, and after sex. Orgasmic juices have been proven to stain teeth 100 percent of the time so try to stay away from those stuff.

5. Cigarette smoke can cause tooth decay. So stay away from them too. If you can't stay away, use your nostrils to puff smoke instead of your mouth.

Let's Do A Litte Dusting

I've been away for quite long. This blog has been a dusty blog. Not having any activity at all for sometime now.

Nobody goes to this blog anymore. Nothing is interesting.

I've been the boring blogger that I truly am.

Kawawa naman itong blogger ko, wala na siyang bisita. Wala na ding bagong laman.

Sabi ko pa man din sa sarili ko eh hindi ako tatamarin, pero ito! SAMPALOC NA AKO! (TAMARIN = SAMPALOC)

Haaaay. Pano ba naman magkakaron ng panahon dito eh medyo kaunti na lang ang inilalagi ko sa bahay.

Kung pwede lang hatiin ang sarili eh, ginawa ko na. Kaso lang masakit siya

It should be: "If only I could clone myself".


That would be really something.

I would always have time for a lot of things. About the things that I want to do and need to do. And I would also have someone to do the things that I don't want to do.

Kagaya ng mag-aral! Ahaha!

Haaay, sobrang alikabukin na nitong blog ko. Kaylangan na ng vacuum cleaner. Di na siya napapansin!

Sa mga sumusubaybay dito (what a waste of hope), pasensya na matagal na mga updates na hindi ko man lang masingitan kahit na anong klaseng entry.

Sa weekends siguro eh makakapaglagay na ako ng laman dito.

Busy lang naman ako sa weekdays. May ginagawa kasi ako mula sa Monday to Friday ng 9 to 6 PM eh. Trabaho daw ang tawag nila dun.

I call it "PRETENDING".

You pretend that you know something up until they find out or you do something that gives away the thought that you're pretending.

Ahahaha, baka mabasa pa ng mga bossing ko ito.

As much as possible, I am trying to be as productive as possible. It's just that I can't get the right timing for it.

Just like blogging. I am looking for the right time, and the right feeling to blog.

Sometimes there's just this blogging spree that I feel. I want to write and write and write some more. When I get that feeling, I won't let go.

Just like now!

And there's so many things I want to mention.

But then, there goes my blogging spree. It just lasted for a minute.


Nakakainis tong kulangot na 'to. Akala ko balat ng kamay ko! Kinagat ko pa man din! Pweh!!!

Malapit nanaman ang pasko.

Pero syempre, November muna bago December ika nga ni Billycoy, kaya wag ipagwalang-bahala ang November 1 dahil mahalaga ito. Lalo na saken dahil reunion namin ito. Pati ng mga "past" relatives ko.

Sana may matanggap ako ng special ngayong All Saint's Day.


Aha! At last, I've posted something new!

Hurray for me!

And hurray to my beloved readers!

I Hate You

HATE is such a strong word.

You hear it and a lot of things come rushing into your mind.

HATE may politically signify war and revolt. The word HATE may pertain to something that is unjust and is truly abhorred. This hate may be signified by the hate of a countryman to the current rules and state of his country, and how things are being planned by those who are in power. And as the hate "matures", the countryman will try to get rid of what he hates. It is therefore natural that the countryman will have its voice heard through protests, revolts and application of necessary measures upon that hate-able thing.

It probably goes for anyone that hates something or someone. No matter how deep or how shallow the hate is, they try to get rid of it. In turn, they get dirty on stuff and think of any possible way to get around and get rid of that hate.

I do hate a lot of stuff in my life.

Let's take PIMPLES as one of them.

You don’t want them anywhere in your skin, and yet they seem to be so comfortable with growing on every crevice of your face.

And with the hate of pimple, comes the hate for people with smooth skin. You think of every possible reason why you can't have godlike skin similar to what they have. Skin that radiates and somehow glows.

The skin that's just "almost perfect".

Smooth-skinned people, especially males, are those people who are MOST PROBABLY on the homosexual side of ah... sexuality. It is quite peculiar that a guy has smooth, white, glowing, and much smoother skin than mine. Well, actually it's normal but if it's too smooth, too white, and there's too much glow, the guy is probably gay. The level of gayness depends on the thickness of vanity stuff such as make-up and all that beautification paraphernalia.

Therefore, if I hate pimple, I certainly hate vain and low class faggots who can’t seem to have enough respect for their own selves and continue to pursue a life of having a chemically-induced smooth skin.

HATEHATEHATE HATEHATEHATE HATEHATEHATE HATEHATEHATE

One of the most annoying things that I have come to hate are certain radio stations. And I can’t do anything about them since they are what’s common on FXs, buses, and jeepneys. I can’t blame these stations for having that kind of theme since the masses and our noble PUV drivers are their primary target. That’s why they usually greet those people on PUVs, especially the drivers.

I hate how they run their show. I tell you, it’s this fucking animated laughter every single pause of what the DJ has to say. It could be the squirrel laugh, or the monkey laugh, or whatever kind of laughter that they can plug into almost each and every ending of a statement.

And the DJs are at it too. Oh man, they are so fucking hateful for me. As in they really have to force their lungs just to pull out that ratatatat laughter after every three words or so. It’s just so dreadful. And almost every station has to have this joke portion of some sort with chipmunk voices and Visayan accent for others. And the talk shows in the morning also offers the same annoyance they bring in with the other bunch of annoying stuff. It just keeps on coming. It is just a trend for these type of radio stations. If one station has this kind of gimmick, then you won’t let your station be out of the light. So you put in what the crowd likes (which are probably the chipmunk voices telling jokes which may be from the number of circulating jokes on cellphones.) and compete from that point on. The smaller the voice, the better. The more abundant the laughs are, the better. The longer the DJs can hold their breath for laughing, the better. The older the music that they play, the better. The more frequent they play the old song, the better.

What a brilliant way to run a successful radio station.

And of course the music never changes. It is oldies almost all day long. It’s everyday Barry Manilow or Rod Stewart or some other singer from that era. Well, those classicals aren’t really that bad. It’s just that they are overplayed. I’m pretty sure that if they’ve got a CD for those tracks, it’s probably wrecked the first week that it is used.

HATEHATEHATE HATEHATEHATE HATEHATEHATE HATEHATEHATE

Pero syempre, there will come a time that you have to become what you’ve hated.

Well in my case, I’ve come to like what I hate.

At di ko alam kung bakit ngayon eh natutuwa na ako sa pakikinig sa mga ganitong klase ng radio stations.

I guess my desire to ignore them every time I hear them just gave off. You got tired of rejecting what you hate, and just give in.

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. If you can’t ignore them, try and listen.

And that’s what I did. After some time of condemning these radio station and that I can’t really do anything to not listen to them (since I don’t have an MP3 player and I can’t ask the driver to change the station), I’ll just have to try and listen.

Behind these intense machine-generated series of laughter, there are some good and funny jokes that they give out from time to time. Aside from the annoying laughter of the DJs and the meek and puny way they deliver the jokes, there is some point in the show that you’ll just laugh because a joke is REALLY funny. And sometimes you’ll just agree to what the dumb-sounding DJ says because it is correct, even if the topics are purely senseless and mostly sexually-oriented topics.

Nakakainis mang sabihin eh natutuwa na din akong makinig ng palabas ng Love Radio at ng Energy FM. Saka maganda naman si Nicole-hiyala. Medyo tagilid lang si Chris Tsuper pero ayos na din. Natutunan ko nang indahin ang mga nakakairita nilang mga tawa na talaga naming hinugot pa sa large intestine para lang mapwersa ang pagtawa.

Yun pinsan ko nga eh di naman nakikinig ng ganung station dati, pero ngayon eh yun na ang default station ng radio niya.

Nakakainis yun. I hate that kind of station. Pero masaya kasi ang kulit ng mga DJs kahit sobrang ang sarap sampalin ng lalamunan nila sa sobrang kakornihan.

Ah, hayaan mo na. Bibili na lang ako ng MP3 player at yun ang gagamitin ko sa byahe.

HATEHATEHATE HATEHATEHATE HATEHATEHATE HATEHATEHATE

I hate myself, but not because of my smooth skin. And as time goes on, I’ve become what I’ve hated, so in turn, I became myself, which is what I hate and what I don’t like. So apparently, there’s no end to this self-hating cycle.

New Generation

This the new generation

The new generation of street food.

Yes, it is all I want to talk about here. Street food. A sequel to my entry: Take It To The Street.

I was enjoying much of these "street treasures" and it has come to my attention that there are these new addition to the already large variety of available street food. There are just much to choose from.



Prior to what I've written before, I want to discuss the new addition of items to the street menu. It is no doubt that these food are quite exquisite to me, even though they have been wrapped in mystery and 100% questionable sanitation. I don't really care that much if I do gain diarrhea from them.

Masarap ang bawal. Bawal magkasakit.
Therefore, masarap magkasakit.

And it is great to feast upon disease-causing food.

Definitely, I would trade over these food for Caviar and all other French food that have names that takes quite a stress for the tongue to pronounce

And these are the NEW GENERATION of street food that I've recently "experienced".


Siomai - I love these little bastards. Especially the once sold by ate near the OWWA building in Intramuros. Her cart is isolated from others and is far from the chain of vendors in front of the PC shops. Even so, I would gladly take an extra 50 steps or more from where I buy toknene just to grab her siomai.

I want to siomai love for her siomai. Nyek.

Ah basta. Her siomai (the one that she sells) tastes entirely different from those sold by others.

At masarap din ang fried siomai ni ate (the one that she sells, which is a FOOD). Not unlike those from Kinse Meal siomais. Her's are just tender and well-cooked. The essence of the meat is greatly defined through careful mixture of seasonings and mixes well with either the sweet and sour sauce or the soy sauce.

*flashback music plays*

I can still remember it. We were so fond of eating at the Kinse Meals.

NOTE: Kinse meals are those meals which consists of 1 order of siomai (4 pieces, P2.50 each) and a cup of rice (P5.00 per cup). Me and my friends greatly patronize the Kinse Meal since it fits well with our budget after spending it all on DotA and we can still purchase a bottle of Pop and they also serve free soup for it. With also the addition of unlimited fried garlic that is so much bitter because of its repeated frying (which you can also witness being done at the side walk near the stores).

We just stopped eating it due to the rumor that a friend of a friend once saw a carcass of a BANGAW floating on the soup. At first, I was in denial since I adore and worship the meal itself. The meal that provides us enough energy to go home after a DotA game.

I denied the chismax to myself. I still ate there a couple of times, with the declination of a sabaw offer from the "store manager". I just stopped eating because I got to experience, first-hand, the anomaly that was surrounding the Kinse Meals. I ordered a Kinse Meal and I ate the uncooked meat that was its content. Ate#2 fried it directly into hot oil (without steaming it first like what the professional Ate#1 would do). I truly had second thoughts that time, if I am to eat that piece of uncooked siomai that only went through a 8 (or about 10)-second dip on boiling oil. The meat is so pinkish and I was truly convinced that it was uncooked.

That was when I decided to stop eating that stuff at that place.

*flashback music stops*

And that it why now I only patronize Ate#1's Scrumptious fried siomais. You can be sure that it's steamed before it was friend and that the meat is jam-packed, compared to that of the Kinse Meal which has the meat na kasing-dami lang ng kuko ng manok. Parang seasoning lang ang amount.


Siomai is definitely one of the delicious street food that I've eaten lately. Now, I only eat at Ate#1's store since it's guaranteed good and cooked. All the other stalls can't imitate the formula.

Back in the old days, you can only get good siomai in various Chinese restaurants such as Wan Chai and Hap Chan in Binondo. But as of now, there's this affordable and good tasting siomai sold at carts. And it tastes even better with ate's special sauce that looks like a Carabao's phlegm.

Chicken Skin - This one's good too. I used to see a lot of carts around that selling this kind of commodity. I'm not fond of buying this stuff very often since I might obtain some skin allergies (may allergy pang nalalaman eh buni, an-an, at hadhad lang naman yun! Sus!).

Dustin tried it out one time and I tasted one and I was really surprised that it was good and cheap too (at about P10.00 a pack, with about 3-5 pieces per pack). It's quite mysterious why Chicken Skin is quite cheap on the streets while my father said that it's quite expensive in restaurants because when you order Chicken Skin, the chef is forced to disposed of the whole chicken since they won't have use for skinless chicken anymore and you would have to pay for the whole chicken.

What a shame.

Another venue wherein I've tasted this chicken stuff is at QC. A pack of deep-fried, chicharon style of chicken skin costs P5.00 per pack (5-6 pieces). After I've tasted that stuff, I immediately wanted to marry the vendor [even though she's a lesbian] so that I can always taste that kind of good chicken stuff for free. I am going to make that cart of chicken stuff our joint property.

Crunchy. Tasty. The taste is undeniably exquisite. And the smell is absolutely astounding. You'll definitely gonna want to eat that stuff everyday up until you're high blood pressure is up to the ceiling and that feathers are growing on your skin.

That's definitely the danger on that food. The skin diseases and the blood pressure. My mother removes the skin on our chicken so I don't get to enjoy that stuff often. Chicken skin contains a very high cholesterol level.

Anyway, it's really good. If I'd ever get that chance to eat this everyday, I'd go for it up until I grow feathers and a beak and cock-a-doodle-doo in the morning.

What's the downside? Unfreshly cooked chicken skin that's almost like bubble gum. Better buy it after it's fried to get that crunchy quality.

Calamares - Of all the new generation of street food, I favor this Calamares almost always [I hope ate siomai won't get jealous]. I think I'm getting addicted. I'm always searching and smelling at possible alleys where they would sell this.

Just like siomai, calamares used to be served at restaurants. I think the calamares-on-carts just recently boomed. They're like farts that suddenly emerge out of nowhere. And now they're bought for P3.00 a piece with no guarantee of where the squid came from [or if it even really is a squid]

The first calamares fry that I've tasted was at the side of our school wherein they first take your order and then they cook it. The process is quite lengthy, since they would dip the calamare piece on a special cream sauce, roll it on some bread crumb breadings and then fry it until golden brown. It takes about 10 minutes for an order to be cooked.

But it is worth the wait. The vendors at Mapua are gone though. Must be the Red Tide attack on their supplier.

I once saw a thick and plump calamares at Raon one time and I said to myself, "MY OH MY! THIS IS CALAMARES HEAVEN!". But then I was wrong. It's been three bites and still no squid. Pure breading. What a joke. I was in a hurry to get the 1 x 2.5 inch calamares piece that the other customer was after. I thought I'm going to be calamares-stick fight with him.

Because of the disappointment, I bought 3 pieces of calamares and paid the vendor P100.00! Ahaha! You bitch! Go get some change!

The other cart was different though. It was pure squid. You can see it's true form. The cooking is solid and has little starch on it. The personality of the squid is complete in his cooking. It is not conceived by pretentious starch. That is true squid at it's plain form.

Just like a knight in shining armor.

It's a mystery to me though, on how easy on the budget the calamares-cart seems to be. Sometimes I imagine if the calamares really is a squid or a piece of a rubber Havaianas, since they have the same chewy texture. Well, I bet Havaianas does taste good too.

After eating the "fake" calamares, I remembered the man that was selling empanadas at the bus on my trip to Batangas. One guy bought an which was advertised as Pork and Chicken empanada to the passengers, and he was complaining and kept on mentioning "Asan na ang pork at chicken? Puro naman kamote at patatas ito.". Poor guy, a victim of false advertisement. I thought that maybe those potatoes were boiled on pork or chicken flavored broth. The vendor didn't mention anything about the empanada having REAL pork and chicken pieces, he just kept on shouting PORK and CHICKEN empanadas. Those empanadas are similar to those hamburgers that they sell, and when you got a bite on it, it's just ham and not a burger patty. What a bunch of misleading jerks!

Chicken Strips - This must be where the chicken meat ends up. You know, the chicken meat on restaurants where they remove the skin on? This must be where they end up, as chicken strips. This is good too. You don't need to go to Jollibee or KFC just to have a piece of chicken strip. Well this can also be considered K.F.C. - Kanto Fried Chicken. This comes for about P2.00-P2.50 a piece with the usual "Universal Vinegar" as it's sauce. It's really good though, pure chicken meat, no bones whatsoever. Just munch and munch away with real chicken goodness on every bite.

Stuff On A Stick - Now this is actually a mystery to me on what this stuff really is. Must be a gall bladder, or kidney, or whatever of a chicken. I haven't actually tasted one of these but they really smell nice when the cart of it is around the place. It's a deep fried stuff that looks like chicken isaw. According to Migs it's chicken bladder and it's the one that gave him amoebiasis or some sort of sickness.

I'm going to try them sometime, for that is the goal of a streetfood fanatic, to try everything that they sell, and everything that's advised by the parents to not eat.

Pancit Canton, HalfLong, Burgers - This was actually the most patronized of all the street food there is for us students in Intramuros, most especially Mapua students. Now these snacks are not the typical street food, but because their stores occupy a very large area of the side street near Mapua, I've included them here.

There's nothing very special about them of course, just your typical instant pancit canton from Lucky Me, or a spicy chicken of Yakisoba, or even a normal HalfLong.

NOTE: The halflong is a term used for an order of half a foot long. Normally when someone orders a hotdog sandwich, they just say half long since they just have footlong hotdogs there so they have to cut it in half, thus the name HalfLong.


All these writing made me hungry. I crave for whatever the street offers.

Kung ano-ano na nga ang naiisip ng mga tao. Basta may breading na harina, ititinda na nila. Baka mamaya niyan eh magtinda na sila ng pritong gulaman o kaya eh pritong pilik-mata ng kambing o kung ano mang klase.

Sana naman eh magtinda sila minsan ng healthy, gaya ng breaded ampalaya or steamed radish skin.

But I do enjoy street food. It's affordable and good-tasting. Just don't question anything about sanitary issues. It's gonna be a debate.

New Generation, new taste. Go and get sick.

Take It To The Street

Ah yes. Almost everyone likes dirty stuff.

Dirty talks.
Dirty shows.
Dirty scenes.
Dirty.
Dirty, dirty dirty.

Yes, dirty.

As for me, aside from dirty films and shows, I go for those referred to by parents as DIRTY FOOD.

Street food. Most commonly introduced by parents as disease-bringers and food that will take you straight to the hospital bed.

Inihaws, tuhog-tuhog, saw-saw, and anything sold on the street that is covered with an orange-colored substance and most probably burnt to toast will be the most beautiful thing for me to see on the street. Either they are sold on stalls or by carts, they will always amaze my taste buds and they will always be a part of my everyday budget.

Fishballs, Kikiam, Squidballs, Chickenballs - The little cute fried balls.

Fishballs are most common and most well-known of all fried street delicacies. Fishball was once the reigning king of streetfood until manufacturers decided to add other grinded stuff to the market. Fishballs are known for it's "fishy" taste. These so-called fishballs are much more appropriate to be called fish-circles since after they are cooked, they become 2-dimensional flat circles instead of balls.

Kikiams are such mysteries to me. I don't really know what kikiams are made of, probably the same old stuff fishballs are made of, only a lot more dirtier.

Squidballs and chickenballs are pretty much the same. You would think that you hit the jackpot because you can eat squidballs and chickenballs as large as a cow's ball. But as soon as you pierce them with your stick, you realize that they are as the same size as they are before they are cooked.

And that's what you call Marketing Strategy.

The truth is, there isn't anything special about these products. They are pretty much the same, no advantage on each other whatsoever. The one thing that differs them from one another is the sauce.

Definitely the SAUCE.

The sole source of bacteria, sickness, and all those icky-ikcy things that they show at dishwashing liquid commercials.

The sauce is the life of these balls. Pare-pareho lang ang mga balls na yan, sa sarsa lang nagkaiba.

B.S. in Fishbology, Major in Sarsology. That's the course offered for those who are willing to live a baller's life.

Kung ang fishballs ay gawa sa bulok na fish, ang squidballs ay gawa sa bulok na squid, ang chickenballs ay gawa sa bulok na chicken, saan gawa ang kikiam? Sa bulok na???


TOKNENE (TOKNENENG), KWEK-KWEK, ODOCs - They are all together in the same family of fowls.

Quail eggs, Balut, Penoy, and One Day Old Chicks (ODOCs). Yes, the fowl street cuisine can really be a great anti-hunger tool. For about 5 to 8 Php for big eggs such as Penoy (sometimes coated with orange-colored starch and deep friend to perfection), it can really be a treat for someone who is low on budget. Quail eggs come in about 2 to 2.50 Php per piece.

As for the ODOCs, I haven't tried on yet. I just can't take the idea that a chick is sacrificed in place of a fully grown chicken. But street cuisine is street cuisine, and that there is no such thing as wastage. I will try one of those these days.

Balut eggs are a different thing. At 9 to 10 Php a piece, they sometimes come in ducklings or chicks. Such a pleasant surprise inside. Although not a very preferrable meal to the hungry ones. It has been adviced not to eat Balut when hungry. It is said that the beaks and the feet of the chicks or the duckling can't be digested by your stomach, thus giving you excruciating stomach pain.

Penoy is the friendlier side of Balut. It's just soft-boiled egg, and very tasty with a bit of a wholesome, less-morbid theme.

Penoy-Baluuuuuuuurrrt!!!!

INIHAW SA KANTO - Yes, the smoking little cart of Mang I-don't-know-his-name.

There's always one of these in almost every kanto that you see. I guess it makes them the most accessible street food. Although they only sell these products at mid-afternoon or at night. Since nobody would like to be having these on lunch. These are preferably eaten at night or at the afternoon as a merienda. You could take them for dinner sometime and they're great on well-cooked rice.


You pretty much have to kill a lot of chicken and pigs before you can get that much amount of tinuhog delicacy. It's like a festival of inihaw every night. There's always a variety of treats to choose from, and I do mean a variety.

Almost every discarded part of a chicken can be seen in this type of store (except for the chicken shit and feathers). For chicken parts, we have isaw or bituka, ulo or helmet, paa or adidas, bato, balun-balunan, and other chicken parts that who knows what the name is. Even the throat of the chicken is now being served at our local ihawan.

For pig parts we have atay or liver, dugo or betamax, ears, and the intestine as well. And being innovative Filipinos that we are, I think that there'd be more additional treats to these favorites. Among the ones that will probably be sold are, kuko, bayag, mata, ilong, pwet, buntot, suso or utong (hey, who wouldn't go for these?), and whatever the people can think of eating. Although when they are in the cart, they all look the same, except for their varying sizes and shapes. They are all just a lump of edible disease on a stick. A very tasty and delightful disease on a stick. Well the disease comes depending on the strength of your immune system, and your stomach.



Manong Isaw: Ano po sa inyo ma'm?
Babae: Magkano ang isaw ng manok?
Manong Isaw: Limampiso po.
Babae: O sige, bigyan mo ako ng lima. Piliin mo yung may tae-tae ha?


Dirty Ice Cream - Nothing beats the everyday flavor of the month. It's the perfect alternative to Selecta or Magnolia Specials. Can't get enough of it. You just have to face the same flavor everytime you buy. Avocado, Chocolate, Cheese, Mango, Cookies and Cream, perhaps Strawberry once in a while, and that's it. I can't get my regular supply of them anymore because they are banned here in the in our place.


Tongtenong. Tongtenong. Tongtenongteng. Tongtenong. Tongtenong. Tonongtonongtenongteng!!!


The street is the sanctuary for a man that doesn't have much on his pocket but pennies. That's the kind of man I am. I love the street, and what they have to offer.

Oh yeah, I forgot the Peanuts. Extra garlic please manong. Sugar-coated or spicy is the usual flavor.

There are also some that I haven't tried before, such as deep-fried sebo ng baka and chicken skin. I think chicken skin is expensive because you have to get only the skin of the chicken and dispose the meat.

Well that's what my dad told me. I also like to try ramen on the street, although they have the highest possibility of being recycled. Chicharong bulaklak was rumored to be human intestines from hospitals. Most of the times, they taste like shit so you have to have extra chili on your vinegar.


Masarap talaga ang marumi...

Everytime you put one of those things in your mouth, be sure that you are willing to face the consequences of each and every little deadly bacteria they contain.

Exquisite food sometimes come at a very high price, which is your health.

So go, indulge yourself.

There's always vitamins and pineapple juices right?

Manumbalik

Hindi na ako ganoon kadalas magsulat sa aking mumunting lugar ng tulala.

Sa mga panahon na ito eh madami akong rason para hindi matulala.

Pwede kong sabihin na naging "busy" ako. Lagi naman akong busy. Hindi ako nawawalan ng gawain sa araw-araw gaya ng paghinga, matagal na panahon ng pagtulog, at pagkain ng sangkatutak na junkfoods, at magpa-ampon kila Dustin ng isa't kalahating araw.

Ano na nga ba ang nangyayare sa paligid ko? Makapag-update nga.

Ayoko nung ZTE deal na yun. Masyadong mahal. Para broadband lang eh ang mahal-mahal na samantalang plan 999 lang sa PLDT ay may libre ka pang telepono tapos samantalang ang ZTE deal eh aabot sa 300 Bajillion ek-ek yung gastos. Sobrang kickback yun. Garapalan na. Tapos andami ding testigo.

Kung ako nga nung estudyante ako eh kinokonsensya ako sa kickback ko sa magulang ko sa halagang 300 pesos, eh pano pa yung sa kanila na 300 Bajillion.

Sabagay, ano nga ba namang kumpara ko sa "kunsensya" ng mga tao sa gobyerno.

Naasikaso na pala ni Willie ang kanyang issue sa mga tao. Naipakita na niya yung nangyare dun sa kahon. May zero pala talagang nakalagay sa lahat ng kahon at saka pa lamang maiipakita sa huli ang pinaglalagyan ng value na 2 kaya nagkamali ng hugot si Papi.

Kung naipromote ko lang sana ang kanyang entry dito eh di nakakuha pa siya ng mga isa o dalawang votes! Ahaha!

Para naman kasing sikat ang blog ko para makatulong, haha.

Pero congratulations sa kanya at nakamit niya ang ikatlong pwesto.

Sobrang stagnant na nga daw ng blog ko sabi ni sir Dre.

Unang Palabas

Aba, talaga nga namang lumaki na ang issue ng sagutan sa panig ni Papi at ni Joey.

Ito na nga yata ang pinakamainit na kaganapan ngayon sa ating bansa, maliban sa isyu ng terorismo. Pati ang mga senador eh iniimbita na si Papi sa senado.

Nadinig ata ang senado ang rekwest ni Joey na unahin ang Hello Papi bago ang Hello Garci.

Nabasa ko lang naman yun sa tabloid. Hindi ko alam kung para saan pa ang pagpupulong na magaganap sa pagitan ng mga senador at ni Willie. Napakabigat nga naman talaga't umabot pa sa senado.

Naapektuhan na din daw nito ang estado ng bansa. Mawawalan na ng foreign investors dahil sa scam na ito. At maaari na ding mawala ang mga nagbibigay ng dollars sa show ni Willie. So sad.

Bakit naman kasi nagkamali pa sa paghugot ng papel si Papi, ayun tuloy, napuna siya ni Joey.

Minsan hindi ko alam kung bakit nga ba sobrang subaybay ni Joey ang mga nangyayare sa palabas ni Papi eh. Siguro pag commercial ng Eat Bulaga eh nanonood si Joey sa backstage, hehe. Gusto niyang makita si Luningning, dahil sawa na siya sa Sexbomb.

Kung sabagay, sawa na din ako sa Sexbomb. Gusto ko din si Mariposa at Luningning. Kaya nga ba't salamat at may Wowowee.

Pero sa isang linggong paglalamay eh nakakasawa na nga naman din ang ganitong isyu. Sa totoo lang, hindi ko na din binibigyang-pansin yun. Natuwa lang ako kay Willie sapagkat napaiyak nanaman siya gaya ng pag-iyak niya noong panahon nila nina Randy at John sa Magandang Tanghali Bayan.

Ika nga ng kaibigan kong si Pauee, dapat daw eh pinaghaharap-harap na ang mga hosts ng mga noontime shows na yan at magpatayan na silang lahat sapagkat nakakasawa na ang drama.

Yung tipong 1 on 1 sila Joey at Papi na parang Tekken lang. Sa una, magsasagutan muna sila ng mga masasakit na paratang at salita. Tapos maghaharapan sila na parang boksingero. Tapos magbabanatan na sila na parang Dragon Ball.

Papi: "HETONG SAYO JOEY!!! SUPER MEGA WILYONARYO!!!!"

*KABOOM!!!*

Joey: "Akala mo ikaw lang meron niyan? HETONG SAYO!!! MEGARIFFIC ULTRA PINOY HENYO BEAM!!!"

Papi: "PASALOG BOMBER!!!"

Joey: "Tangina mo gago! Explain before you complain!!!"

Papi: *Sob*... "Wag kang mamersonal... huhuhu"

Joey: "Ulol, lagyan mo ng luha yan paksyit ka!"

Papi: *Tusok mata*

PALABASPALABASPALABASPALABASPALABASPALABAS

Tama nga naman yun. Pero yung kay Willie ang mas gugustuhin kong mawala ng saglit o palitan ng tema ng palabas.

Parang soap opera nga naman, ayos sa aking kaibigan na si santongbusabos. Melodramatic ang style ng pamimigay ng premyo. Papaiyakin muna ni Willie ang mga kalahok bago pamudmudan ng super daming dollars.

Syempre inggit ako, sangkaterbang pera yun eh.

Sa context ng charity at kawanggawa, walang kwestyon yun. Kaso lang eh sobrang soap opera based ang palabas niya.

Buti na lang eh andyan si Luningning. Oh lala. RAWR!!!

PALABASPALABASPALABASPALABASPALABASPALABAS

Magandang ideya yung magpatayan sila ng mga hosts, saka isama na din nila ang mga morning shows kung pwede. Palitan na lang nila ng educational shows at mga parang Discovery Channel o pangmatandang Blue's Clues para madagdagan ang kaalam ng mga tao.

Dapat yata kasi eh parang commercial na lang ang mga palaro ng noontime shows at hindi na kailangan pang sumakop ng isang buong length ng palabas. Kumbaga, ikokomersyal na lang kung sinong nanalo. Mga 15-minute show na ipapalabas lang yung mga nanalo sa contest.

Para hindi na sila magpapakulelat ng mga tao at magtatanong sila ng kalokohan.

Tulong kung tulong at hindi ratings.

Tapos iiyak-iyak naman kapag nakutya.

Sample Question: Kung ang talong ay eggplant, ano naman ang exothermic?

Eh sino bang makakasagot basta-basta ng ganun? Tapos may mga kanta-kanta pa. Sose.

Kung tutulong ka, wag mo na ding gawing palabas.

Gawin mo na lang commercial.

Test This Shit

There's far lot more of amazing processes beyond our universe. There's the Black Hole, the Big Bang Theory, and Alien bacterial reproduction.

But regarding these things, there are also few mysterious processes occuring in our planet aside from Lunar Eclipses and Ozone Layer thinning.

And what I am talking about is Stool Sampling.

Well, this may not be a bigger topic or matter than presidential speeches and human cloning, but we cannot deny the fact that stool sampling is a crucial part of our professional life and must not be taken lightly.

As a regular procedure of the so-called Medical Examinations [that a professional must undergo as a part of the employment phase], stool sampling takes is place at the bottom part of the procedure. It can provide basic information about your medical condition and it can also predict the recent diet you've been taking.

Aside from the undigested vegetables such as beans and kangkong, stool samples can predict your future. Well of course that is if there's any fortune teller that is willing to look at your shit just to predict the future.

I therefore provide these tips in order for you to fully utilize such process. Remember that stool sampling may sound simple and appear incomplex, but there is such great process that occupies its name.

DISCLAIMER: As usual, the following tips and/or procedures and/or descriptions has not undergone any testing procedure and should be handled with care. Any particular result regarding the said procedure may be discussed here.

Tips/Steps to a successful Stool Sample Extraction by Tannix

1. RELAX - stool extraction is not a gang war nor it is World War I or II. It is not forced. Stool extraction is quite similar to sexual intercouse where in the use of force can produce undesirable and painful sensations.

It is a delicate process and be sure to be at at relaxed state of the physical and mental. One must be at a calmed wholly calmed and not rushing at all times. Do not be impatient and wait for the proper timing.

Remember how Don Juan captured the Ibong Adarna? He waited until the bird was vulnerable enough to be caught.

I'm not saying that you should slash your wrists and squirt citrus juices on them. What I'm saying is that you should be patient enough and relax in order for the procedure to be carried out accordingly. You may not obtain a successful result, but a relaxed state of both mind and body can ease the process.

2. HAVE THE RIGHT TOOLS - in the fast-paced pace of technology today, we cannot deny the fact that 20 or 21 years in the future, there are numerous supermachines that are readily available in the market that are specially designed for stool sampling or extraction. In the near future, you may even send your stool samples ONLINE.

Either you attach it with your e-mail, you fax it to the company, or you send it via bluetooth or WiFi.

But as of now, we must live with what we have and be able to utilize the functions of our current technology.

Usual Tools may be any of the following:

A.) Extractor - an extractor may be as simple as a spoon or as sophisticated machine that can extract stool samples from your anus. You can choose from a variety of plastic spoons [and NOT FORK] from different fastfood companies, particularly Jollibee and Mcdo.

You may opt for McDonald's spoon since it's much smoother and it can't damage your asshole. Keep in mind that you don't necessarily have to order from a fastfood chain just to obtain spoons like these. You can also use silverwares since they are easy to clean and gives a tingling effect since it is made of metal.

An alternative extractor may be a popsicle stick from Magnolia or Selecta products. Just be sure that you have already eaten the popsicle or ice cream from the stick before you stick it up your ass. You may pick any flavor of popsicle. I prefer orange.

NOTE: Popsicle sticks have long been a tool used by clinics to observe your throats during check-ups. It pushes your tongue downward to fully get a view of your throat. You must be observant enough to know if the popsicle stick has already been used for stool extraction. If the popsicle stick tastes unusual, then you should go sue your clinic.



B.) Container - medical examiners usually provide containers for the feces during the period of medical exams. But at the case of when you are not given, it is advised that you are to pick an airtight container to prevent the smell from infesting the area.

You can choose tupperwares or microwavable containers.

Bottles with rubber seals or Close-up resealable sachet is also an option for the container. You can choose a paper plate or a newspaper, it's your shit anyways, so you still get to decide. If you're really out of containers, you can hand carry the sample until you get to submit it to the examiners.





C.) Disinfecting Materials - stool extraction is not a neat process. It is as delicate as the process of giving birth [and also as painful if your shit is as big as a child], and it is full of germs and is no way near sterilized.



It is therefore adviced that you are to use alcohol, soap, tissue paper, alcogel, gasoline, matchstick, atomic bomb, holy water, and scotch brite and Joy Antibac or any disinfecting materials you know in order to ensure proper shit extraction. You can also use medical rubber gloves in order be truly disinfected.

3. BE PREPARED - sometimes, it is difficult to predict the exact time that you are to shit. You should be prepared at all times. It is not advisable that you are to induce fecal extraction for faster results.

Example: You are to eat Bagoong, and then you drink Chocolait, and you eat champoy, peanuts, raisins, and green mango, and tamarind. Within minutes, you are sure to be shitting your pants.

This process will result into undesirable...uhm, results. Remember that stool extraction is quite similar to giving birth and should be prepared for.

Medical examiners, more often than not, require individuals to produce FRESH SAMPLES of shit. Stools are not like meat products that you can place inside the refrigerator to keep the freshness when the submission of the sample is not yet due. It may be mistaken for some sort of sauce or Kimchi if placed in the refrigerator.

Also practice proper asshole muscular control. You don't want to let the shit be pouring too fast when you extract it. Might as well use the toilet first and fish the samples from there.

Do not be dismayed if the stool extraction is a failure for the reason of diarrhea or false alarms. Stools are not always the thing that are to come out of your ass. It may be a tiyanak or a big fart. Nonetheless, you should be prepared.

4. BACK-UP - If all else fails, you could try to extract the sample directly at the venue of the examiners. It is a good thing since you are sure to obtain a sample. You could try to extract at a specific time. Let's say after lunch, when you've had two Big Macs.

The only drawback would be that your ass would have the condition of unfamiliarity with the different toilets and you would be having difficulty shitting out the samples. Most puwets have this namamahay condition that prevents them from "letting go".


Remember that this is stool extraction and not sperm donation. You can't use a porno magazine to induce a sample.

So it is best to be prepared.

There are many possibilities when it comes to stool sampling. Your imagination is the limit.

I hope these tips help.

You can always normally deliver shit out your ass. It's been always like that since you were born.

I Hate Men

I saw this on my brother's poster, a long time ago.

I couldn't find any of the original copy, so I just made one myself.

I Hate Men
by tannix

I hate men
Because they bring me
To the dark alleys and corners
Oh how I hate them

With their thin dirty fingers
They hold my body
With their black lips
They smother me


I hate men
For they take me to their bedrooms
They take away my purity
And suck the sweetness out of me

I hate men
For after being used and abused
They throw me aside
And I am as good as a rag

They leave me to die
And most times
I get stepped on
As if I did not pleasure them

I hate men
For I cannot do anything
And what can I do...




For I am only a cigarette

Evasion

There will come a point in our lives in which we have to avoid something. Evasion is not an act of cowardice, it is a form of protecting oneself. A protection in which we can save ourselves from the negativities of these forces that surround us.

And often times, what we have to evade are people.

People who's got the extreme hots for us. It may be because of our aura, our sex appeal, our extreme looks and probably just because we are damn gorgeous. It may be these type of people or just some kind of pesky neighbor trying to sell you something.

And we just can't entertain them anymore because we are in a current relationship, or we just simply don't like to see the person because of how they dress, how they act, how they smell, and how they treat us. For any reason at all, we just have to evade these people.

My friends, let me give you some tips on how we could successfully(?) avoid certain people that are after us.

DISCLAIMER: These steps have not been tested in any way. I shall not be held responsible for any fatal results whatsoever.

Possible Evasion Tactics by Tannix

1. IF THE PEOPLE YOU ARE AVOIDING TOLD YOU THAT THEY ARE GOING TO YOUR PLACE, IMMEDIATELY INFORM THEM THAT YOU HAVE AN LEAVING FOR SOMEWHERE RIGHT AT THE EXACT MOMENT THAT THEY ARE TO ARRIVE.

It is important that you have to let these people believe that your destination is believable and it really exists. Choose a place like Disneyland, Mars or Jupiter. Tell them that you want to meet aliens and that you want to personally measure how big is Jupiter. You can also tell them that you're attending the funeral of the brother of the sister of the neighbor of the godfather of the mother-in-law of the cat of the son of the househelp of your cousin. Or you just have to be somewhere you weren't suppose to be just because they are coming.

Tell this to the people being avoided every time they are visiting so that surprise visits are to be eluded.

2. DON'T BATHE FOR FIVE... wait... make it SEVEN DAYS UP TO A MONTH. ALTERNATIVELY, YOU CAN JUST WIPE YOUR ARMPITS BUT DON'T PUT DEODORANTS

Your nasty smell shall serve as the "insect repellant" for the annoying people you are trying to avoid. You can also jog inside your cabinet for easy perspiration. You must do this before the person arrives and be sure to give them a hug whenever they arrive.

If you cannot deem to not take a bath or go with the wiping thing, you could proceed with cleaning your nails regularly and not letting them grow.

Hey, you may smell like hell, but at least you've got pretty clean fingernails!

3. PRETEND THAT SOMEONE IS GIVING YOU A DEATH THREAT AND YOU ARE IN DANGER AT ALL TIMES.

Certain proof of a death threat must be established. You must make the person believe that any person that has a connection with you which is a man/woman/gay/lesbian, has an age within the range of 1-100 years old, within the vicinity of your area or is in the Philippines, has the starting letter of their name included in the English alphabet, is 100 percent and positively sure that their lives are in danger. Also indicate to the person that surprisingly, all the members of your clan are not included in this death threat.

4. YOU COULD TRY TO GET THESE FOLLOWING ANIMALS AS PETS: RATS, COCKROACH, BEDBUGS, FLEAS, MOSQUITOES, SNAKE, BEES, ALLIGATORS, FROGS, FLIES, CENTIPEDES, LIONS, TIGERS, BEARS, ASWANGS, TIKBALANGS, KAPRE, JELLYFISHES AND OTHER ADORABLE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT.

Be sure to display them in your house[in a bragging manner] whenever you are visited by the person being avoided.

It is advisable for you to treat your pest..er...pests as part of your family. Give them enough love and devotion that you would give a "normal" pet. Be sure to show affection to the pet by kissing them in front of the person and feeding them regularly.

NOTICE:

A. As advised by Bob Ong - Do not place the frogs and snakes, frogs and mosquitoes and/or flies and/ or bees and/or bedbugs, snakes and rats, in a single cage unless you want your house to become a food chain chart.

B. Be advised to feed the pets 3 times a day or based on their dietary allowances.

C. Keep out the Aswangs out of sunlight. They will surely die at the morning [given by popular belief]. Provide sunblocks if necessary.

D. Be sure to have an ample supple of "grass" for the Kapres. Keep an ample supply for the Tikbalangs as well because aanhin pa ang damo kung patay na ang kabayo.

E. Provide labels for the cages. It is most likely that the jellyfishes will end up as pulutan for the drunk family member, being mistaken it for a squid.

F. If the said animal is unavailable for purchase due to some DENR issues, you may replace it with a "replacement" such as a picture of Madam Auring or Diego of Bubble Gang.

*DISCLAIMER*

This particular step will not be held liable for the damages that it will surely bring to you, to your pets [or pests], or to the brother of the sister of the neighbor of the godfather of the mother-in-law of the cat of the son of the househelp of your cousin.

If ever your house burns, you die, or your whole clan is exterminated, I won't be held liable. I just gave these things as a guide. If such things happen, I don't exist anymore.

NOTE: I am usually used to the pets mentioned above.

5. ALWAYS TAKE A NAP OR GO TO SLEEP WHENEVER THE AVOIDED PERSON IS AT YOUR HOUSE.

It's best of you would induce narcolepsy or take some sort of downers or munch on sleeping pills like peanuts. It is also advised to use camping gears such as tents and bonfires right in front of the person you are avoiding. Be sure to sleep in the place where the person is positioned.

6. IF ALL ELSE FAILS, PROVIDE TANNIX WITH CONTACT DETAILS OF THE PERSON BEING AVOIDED.

This particular step is only applicable if the person being avoided is a woman, between 18 to 23 years of age, single, sexy, cute, beautiful, gorgeous, kind, cheerful, a good cook, sings very well, understanding, patient, thoughtful, sweet, and pretty, has no criminal and/or psychotic behavior and/or records, and/or psychological issues, has a loving parents, and has no bad habits. Oh, and with hot and oozing sex appeal that's also a freak in the sheets.

Please give the details of the woman to tannixkinse@yahoo.com, or to friendster.com/tannix, and to this blog.



And these are said tips that are to be followed for avoiding people, may it be a stalker, an in-law, bill collector or someone asking a favor, I'm sure this will surely help.

Thank you and goodluck to the evasion.

So Horny

So Horny
by tannix

I'm horny, so horny
Like the song
Redundant of its tune
So horny, Oh so horny

You make my skin shiver
And my flesh tremble
I have you in my sight
And I won't let go

I want you here
In front of me
Pleasure my desires
And prepare yourself

I will get you
When you least expect it
And I will make my move
The most pleasurable of all

Mr. Matador, your red sheet
Is what annoys me
With your piercing sword
You will go down with the dust

The Road

Ops, English nga tayo! Tignan naten kung gaano ako tatagal magsulat ng English!

Life is very tiring for someone who commutes everyday. Back in college, where I had classes almost everyday, the only means for me to travel is to take the PUVs. I don't have a car, nor I don't know anything about teleportation or flying. So the most obvious thing to do is commute using the PUVs. They come in buses, FXs, jeeps, tricycles, and pedicabs and trains. I've taken a ride in each of these PUVs and I've gotten much stories from them during almost the entirety of my college life.

There's actually a lot of interesting stuff to see and experience when you travel on PUVs. There's a lot of things you can experience and also observe, which you can't usually do when you drive. Aside from sleeping and counting endless hours when in stuck in traffic, you don't get to do anything else except observe everything that's in your surroundings. I am glad and thankful that I've not experienced any life-threatening accidents nor have I been robbed or pick-pocketed in any of these PUVs.

There's just this annoying stuff that bothers you for a minute or two.

How annoying?

How about this: almost everyday of the week, you get to ride a jeepney that's passing by the gasoline station to fill-up. It has become more than annoying for me. It's a curse I tell you, A CURSE!!!

I have lost track of the times this happened but it happens often. There's probably thousands of jeepneys in our area and even in Manila, but I always ride on the ones that are filling up their gas tanks. It usually happens when you are in a hurry and you've got minimum time allowance. It's just annoying how that often happens but there's just no choice but to get used to it.

I can't ask every jeepney driver before I ride.

Me: "Manong, maggagasolina po kayo?"
Manong:"Ah, oo eh."
Me: "Sige, sa iba na lang ako sasakay."

It's annoying sometimes that you have to pick a jeep and that particular jeep had to be the one to gas up. I've tried that before. I was suppose to ride the first one to come, but I just let it pass by, thinking that it would be the one to gas up. I chose the second one. It was lucky for me to just pick the second jeep because it was the one that had to gas up. Pretty lucky eh?

I guess there's no other way but to pick a jeep after the gas station and pick the one that has already been there. It's the surest way to ensure that the jeep isn't going to gas up.

Other jeepneys just can't assure you an all-out stop-free ride. They just have to stop at any possible passenger. Every person on the side of the road is a potential passenger. So naturally, drivers stop by them even if they don't have to ride that jeepney, which is quite a drag.

And sometimes, it just needs a bit of convincing for the passengers to ride. And it works! Well, not for me though.

When the LRT2 was not yet up, I had to take the bus for almost everyday of my commuting life in college. It's the most comfortable and carefree means of transportation from school to our place. You pay the conductor and you sleep. One more good thing for the particular bus line that I ride is that the station is just a few blocks away from where we live. The bus us usually empty and I get to sit where ever I want to sit.

There is this one time that I rode the ordinary fare bus and I was somewhere at San Juan area when I felt a tug at my leg. I was sleeping and my head was bowed down, with my arms as my pillow. Since the windows were open, I was able to put my elbows outside and use the open window and my arms as pillows.

So there I was, sleeping until I felt a tug and a feeling that someone was touching my pocket. I opened my eyes and I saw the hand of the guy sitting next to me, exploring my legs and my pocket area. Thinking that it's a pick-pocketer, I waited for it's next move. I was surprised that his hands went past my pocket and headed straight to my zipper.

It was DICK-PICKER after all. So I hurriedly went up and looked the guy straight in the eye with my eyes blazing with anger. I stared at him as if laser beams would shoot out of my eyes [and at that moment, I wish it did], and I stared until he was so nervous that he stood up and took off the bus. I don't really know if he was supposed to take off at that area or he was just afraid of being pulverized. The guy was just thin and I think I could've taken him out if he didn't do the right thing [which is to get out of the bus]. But being the good guy that I am, I just stared at him furiously and waited for his next intelligent move. And he was lucky that I kept my cool and didn't give him the reason to have a plastic surgery.

There was this one time that I rode the FX. I was at the back and the music was good, something like New Wave. And I was really into the music so I was lipsynching with the tune. The guy in front of me was much more into the music since he was singing with a soft tone off his mouth. That was just fantastic. A mini-concert. I took my mind off the music since I might end up being his second voice.

That made me wonder if it's me or there are just an ample amount of people who wants to sing along with the vehicular radio, whatever it's tune is.

Regardless of whatever kind of nuisance or challenge the road gives to me, I'd be there to face it. You can't really go anywhere that much unless you take the road. And of course the helicopter, and the airplane.

I really need to practice that teleportation thing that the Super Saiyans are into. That sort of stuff is gonna make me rich!!!
