Wrestlemania Part Deux

Written the same night as the Wrestlemania post before this.

10:28PM

See, there were a lot of people who weren't too happy with the Money in the Bank results. What story are they starting, I wonder? I bet Christian will have a big part in that. Punk-Christian rivalry. Hmm. I don't remember Christian well enough to decide if that's gonna be a good one or not. I just kind of remember that he was there when Chris Jericho was there before and then both of them disappeared. Were they tag teams or something? They also kinda look alike.

I'm getting a little sleepy not.

Oh man, they're showing the Fan Access Tour again. There were people who came all the way from Japan! Goodness! Why am I not there?! That is just so awesome. Come on. Man. I wish, I really sincerely wish, that by the time I'm able to watch Wrestlemania live, Tripe H and the Undertaker are still there. I really really wish that. If Stone Cold could be there too that would be tremendous, even just for a couple of beers.

It's the Kid Rock performance. Hmm.Plaid is really in.

Babay.

I'm at the airport lounge. I'll be leaving in about 45 minutes. Aw. Babay.

*Yey to free REALLY FAST wifi.

Wrestlemania 25

Written last night. My brother hogged the internet for 3 days straight. Ugh.

Monday

So I'm rewatching Wrestlemania 25 right now. It was pretty awesome. I kinda expected a little more bang with the entrances and stuff but I did miss a couple of matches since there was another "family crisis" awhile ago. Although I did see the performance of Kid Rock. Not a big fan of him but I have to say that his number was great! Really pumped up the event.

Agh. I really wanted to be there. They showed some pre-event stuff like meet and greet and stuff and there were people who came all the way from Australia and Scotland and some other far away places! Ugh. If only I had the money and of course the visa to go there, I would have. I mean, I got the time now. 

I wonder if Wrestlemania 30's gonna be a big deal too. I probably can attend that one. Well, if I don't have a super busy demanding job that is. But I would find a way.

Wow, this ladder match is different. They have Kane and Mark Henry who are HUGE, I think a little too huge for the usual ladder match contestants. Can the ladder actually hold Mark Henry up?

Ah, I missed CM Punk. Now I remember why I had a little crush on him back then. That smile is just... *kilig*

Hornswoggle! Up up and away! 

When I was watching awhile ago, I was having lunch just in time for Shawn Michaels' and Undertaker's match. Man, I could hardly get anything down. I was so scared that the writers have gone completely mad and allowed a 16-1. Takot lang nila. The world would probably riot. Well, there were people who wanted Taker to lose. But that's just stupid. Well, unfair to the legend. Why ruin a perfectly awesome legend? It would be inconsistent with the Undertaker's character and overall story. Shawn Michaels already had loads of wonderful Wrestlemania history-making things. The one with Bret Hart and of course the one with ending Ric Flair's career. This streak is Undertaker's thing. Don't be selfish and take that away from him.

Okay, so it's still the Money in the Bank match. Can't believe CM Punk won again. I mean, I'm not upset by it but I really though Christian would win this or maybe Finlay or Shelton Benjamin, maybe even Hornswoggle. Punk two years in a row? Hmm. 

OK, I'll be back later. Their backs against steel ladders are hard to tear my eyes from. 

Typing Away

Saturday

Ah, Saturday morning. This is reserved for awesome breakfast and of course, cartoons! Which I was just watching when the cable decided to go off. Ugh. Alfred has just kicked evil plants into the fireplace. I didn't know Batman's butler was that maangas. 

I missed Saturday morning cartoons. I always sleep late so usually I'm asleep in the morning. Watching cartoons this time of day makes me feel like a kid again. Aw. I know I can't keep hanging onto that part of my life anymore but hell, I still have a couple of months until I absolutely have to face the real world. 

- Intermission - I'd just like to say that Batman's utility belt is awesome! I so have to read the comic books or at least watch this whole cartoon series. He was held captive by Poison Ivy in some sort of pink vegetable sac and it sensed that he had "low brain activity" and concluded that it was due to his imminent destruction so it sent a huge electric jolt that burned off the planty thing that covered his mouth and kept him in that super environmental purgatory.

Okay. What was I saying? Oh yeah. The real world. Well, it will still be there when I come back from Taiwan. I really have to fix my resume when I'm there. Right now I just really want to work in a hotel PR and/or marketing department. Agh, I know I really want some experience in production so I can be a creative writer in WWE because seriously, I think they need some new blood there, with the whole Vicky-Edge-Big Show triangle... Okay, I just vomited a little in my mouth. It's really lame and disgusting. I would've just made her like Theodore Long, you know, general manager but not abused with stupid storylines. Vicky deserves more respect than that. If I were her, I don't think I could kiss Big Show and Edge. I respect them as superstars; they're awesome. But kiss them?! Eugh. Unless they make me kiss Randy Orton or Jeff Hardy. 

Sigh. Jeff. I don't know why I have a huge crush on him.

Awesome! It's Justice League now! Jack TV has great Saturday morning cartoons. I have seen every episode of this but I like watching it again. Ah, yes. I remember that I had a huge crush on cartoon Batman because of this show. He's really smart and smooth and mysterious and handsome!

Yiheee. Batman *hearts* Wonder Woman.

Okay, I've totally lost whatever semi-serious thing I was gonna say so I'll just keep on ranting about how awesome Jack TV shows are. 

I would like to get all of The Simpson's episode. It's celebrating it's 20th year this year. How great is that? Even though I've only seen a couple of episodes here and there, I think it's simply awesome. Some people think it's dumb but actually it's because they don't get the real goal of the show which is to be a parody of real life. There's actually an article about the philosophy and the Simpsons (and also Seinfeld and Buffy the Vampire Slayer which I'll track down and read later)! Besides, it's hilarious, so what are those snooty ___ complaining about?

Okay, this time the electricity went off. Ugh. What is wrong with this place. But the good news is that my CPU is back! I'm not using it yet to let it fully recover from its recent explosion. And I still have stuff to finish downloading in this laptop. I just wish the electricity turns back on right away! It's so hot! I don't wanna sweat!

Bored at the Seminar

Friday

Goodness. Inaantok na ako sobra. I'm here at a seminar about graphic design and stuff. The instructor is currently talking about how to work Dreamweaver. It's interesting and all pero parang ugh FrontPage lang siya. Ang basic, kung magsearch ka lang sa internet tutorials malalaman mo na lahat. Inaantok na talaga ako. Napapapikit na ako. I just wana slump down on my table and snooze. I only had almost 2 hours of sleep kanina. And walang wifi! Goodness. This is so annoying. Nadelay yung download schedule ko. I'm aiming for at least 10 fun movies to bring to Taiwan. Puro kasi sci-fi yun andito sa akin. Not that I don't enjoy them. I think Firefly is awesome. Pero minsan kelangan ko muna ng pasakali in the form of romantic comedies or family movies bago ako manood ng kailangan kong pakinggan nang mabuti. Kaso WALANG WIFI wtf. Merong nadedetect pero password protected. Sana merong software na nakakadecrypt ng passwords ng wifi. Grr. 

Sabi sa papel 4:30 daw matatapos pero sabi nila 6 daw. Kung 6 ito matatapos mamamatay na ako. Makakatulog ako AS IN. Gusto ko na talaga makinig ng iPod pero siyempre pinipigilan ko. Naglakad na ako sa labas at lahat eh pero ayan inaantok pa rin ako. Dapat siguro naghilamos ako. O kaya nagkape. O kaya naghilamos ng mainit na kape para talagang gising na gising! 

Natetempt na rin akong panoorin yung huling episode ng Supernatural. Nakakabitin kasi kagabi. Kailagan ko na uminom ng kape. Please.

Angels and Demons Indeed

*WARNING* Spoilers of Supernatural 4x16 

I...

That episode was...

Okay. Deep breath.

Supernatural gets harder and harder to watch each week, not because it's getting bad (although this was sort of the case the last three or four episodes) but because of all the... pain.

Everything is just too painful! The secrets, the past, the hidden feelings, the duty and responsibility, and of course, the inevitable.

But this episode, episode 16, made up for all the less than fabulous (didn't wanna say crappy because Supernatural is, even at its worst, always an inch or more above crappy) the past month. It also made up for the month-long hiatus. This episode was simply... awesome. It revealed so much, explained a lot and of course added more pain and despair into the mix.

Why do they keep doing that to Dean?!

My thoughts while watching this episode:

• Why does Castiel always has that expression like a puppy has just been killed? Sometimes he alternates it with looking constipated.

• Sammy is such a dumbass/asshole and also the hottest evil dude ever. I swear, he got cuter.

• In my opinion, Dean has every right to legally own the cry, "Why do bad things always happen to me?!"

• And really, why does everything always happen to Dean? What did he ever do to deserve this?

• I think I've heard this somewhere else, but it still made my "Top t-shirt-printable quotes" list:
  

Alister to Dean: "Go straight to Hell. Do not pass go, do not collect 200."

It's extra funny because Dean was torturing him. Okay, it doesn't sound funny right now especially with the torture thingy but really, you have to see it to get it. Or maybe I just have a weird ass sense of humor.

• I absolutely loathe Ruby and Sam is the stupidest person in the whole world. What does he think he's doing?! Dean's right from the get go. Ruby's e DEMON. You CAN'T TRUST demons. Ever. What did he go all vampire-y for?

• This reminds me of Harry Potter. Harry turned out to be one of the Horcruxes he was tasked to destroy. Dean turned out to have broken the first seal and consequently started the process of the apocalypse, which seals he was saved from hell for to help keep from being broken.

• These are all some of the angels' fault.
  

Okay. So far that's it. I would really love to watch the next episode but I have to get up early in the morning for I have an all day seminar to attend. And it's almost 4:30AM. Hmm. Now I want my pancakes.

Minsan, mahirap pag napapaisip

Nung isang linggo lang excited na ako maggraduate. Apat na taon ko ring hinintay ang pagkakataong iyon. Well, actually, more like 19 years. Isipin mo naman, mag-3 palang ako nagumpisa na akong mag-aral. Almost 22 na ako ngayon. Ang ibang bata mga 14-16 years lang ang aral. Ako 19. Sino ba naman ang hindi magsasawa. Hehe. 

So ayun nga, nung isang linggo, nung isang buwan, basta nung patapos na ang klase, hindi ako makapaghintay magtapos. May halo ring kaba ang paghihintay siyempre alam kong magbabago na ang lahat pero mas sumaibabaw ang excitement. Feeling ko para bang kayang kaya ko ang lahat. Sinasabihan nga ako ng mga kaibigan ko na ang dami dami ko raw pangarap. Well, totoo naman. Nakakatawang mga pangarap nga eh. Parang hindi seryoso pero seryoso akong gusto ko ang mga iyon. Kasi kung ganun ang maging trabaho ko, eh di matutupad ang iba ko pang mga pangarap (like meet WWE superstars in person and up close). Hit two birds with one stone diba? At sino ba ang ayaw maging masaya sa trabaho nila? Isipin mo ba naman, more or less iyan na ang gagawin mo habangbuhay. Para kang ikinasal. Unless you take a sabbatical, which is sort of a "cool off" period. Or quitting to change careers, parang legal separation. When you get fired, parang divorce dahil may separation pay which is kinda like alimony. 

Ano na bang sinasabi ko?

Ah. Ayun. Ang fresh grad high. Nagtapos sa pinakamagandang unibersidad sa bansa (no offense to people who have different loyalties). Para bang lahat ng maisip mo malamang makakaya mo, matatanggap ka sa kahit anong trabaho. Pangalan palang ng pinaggraduatan mo ok na. Di naman bagsakin. Above average naman ang grades, may konting extracurriculars, konting work experience at inattendan na seminars here and there. Parang OK na noh? Ang ganda na ng feeling ko kelan lang. Never ako naging 100% confident sa sarili ko. Yung feeling of confidence na naramdaman ko nun, it was around 97% which is a lot for me. Parang madali lang lahat. I didn't feel panicky even though I know that I graduated at the unfortunate time of economic crisis. Ewan. Parang madali lang kasi eh. Parang kaya ko gawin kahit ano.

Tapos nung isang araw, as usual naglalaro ako ng ___ Wars (punan nalang ang patlang ng Vampire, Mafia, o Mob), napuntahan ko ang home page ko. Napansin ko na may ilang taong nag-add sa akin. Eh di add rin. Then I noticed na yung isa sa kanila ay naggraduate sa MIT! Ampucha! Angas eh. On the one hand I'm proud na merong Judenite na nakapagtapos doon. Grabe, as in hindi basta basta yun. On the other hand, parang lahat ng naramdaman kong confidence sa pinagtapusan ko ay naglaho. Para bang ang liit liit ko. Hindi naman kasi internationally recognized ang Ateneo. Siguro sa iilang mga bansa lang but not really where it matters (to me, at least). I love my school so much pero parang nasampal ako sa katotohanan na kahit gaano kaganda at kagaling ito, nasa Pilipinas pa rin lang ito, at ang prestige at honor ng pagtatapos dito ay marerecognize sa Pilipinas lang at hindi na sa ibang bansa. Siguro iisipin ng ilang mambabasa kung bakit ko inaalala ang iisipin ng ibang bansa. Bakit, magtatrabaho ba ako abroad? Malay mo, malay ko rin. I don't want to confine myself in only looking for a job in this country, pero ang gusto ko talaga magumpisa dito. Pero kung iisipin mo, sa paghahanap ng trabaho, sino ba ang mas papaboran lalo na ng mga tao ditong hinding hindi na mawawalan ng colonial mentality (and this whole rant stems from the same thing: I too have colonial mentality. hindi ko alam ang pamamaraan ng pagtuturo at pagaaral sa mga Ivy League schools but there's a reason why they're that sought after and why they top the world's universities list)? Yung nagtapos sa prestigious school only recognized here or someone who graduated from a prestigious school recognized everywhere?

Ewan ko ba kung bakit ako nabibitter at nagpapalulong sa self-pity/loathing. Isa sa pilosopiya ko kasi sa buhay ay hindi naman sa grades mababase ang buong buhay mo. Nasa diskarte lang iyan. Alam kong it sounds like an excuse ng mga tamad, pero proven na iyan. Hindi lahat ng great people nagtapos sa magagandang paaralan o nagtapos ng may honors or nagtapos at all. Sipag at tiyaga at determinasyon at diskarte lang. Siyempre with God's help diba. Pero parang ngayon, alam kong I did things right naman. Not perfect but good enough. Excellently mediocre nga daw. I mean, I know technically I'm good enough. Pero parang wala. Nung kelan ang inaalala ko eh kung saan ako maguumpisa sa dami kong gustong gawin. Ngayon ang umuulit ulit lang sa utak ko ay pag-uwi kong galing Taiwan, wala na akong pera. Wala akong trabaho. At the same time ayoko munang magtrabaho dahil I don't want to fall into something long term again. I don't wanna be stuck in anything again. Gusto ko pang magrelax ng ilang buwan, kahit buong summer lang. But I can't keep asking money from my parents and this little business thingy we're planning isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Saan ako kukuha ng panggastos? Yan ang problema.

Hay.

Pero kung tatanungin ako basta gusto ko pumasok sa PR ng hotel, specifically sa Crowne Plaza dahil doon nagsstay ang halos lahat ng dumayo ditong celebs. Shems noh. I'll get to entertain them. I will love my work forever.

Ewan. Nakakatamad isipin. I'm going back to playing. I don't wanna grow up just yet. Sa June na.

Aw. School.

My friends and I went back to school today. Some had to take care of some paperwork. I just went to hang out with them. We took pictures everywhere. Well, okay, there were a couple key places we failed to go to like Bellarmine Hall and the old Comm Dept. Also, Soc Sci Bldg which houses the new Comm Dept. However, I managed to take almost a hundred photos of whatevers, even random corners of the school (even the trash cans and loud speakers).

I did not cry before, during, or right after the graduation. It's a very happy time for me. I won't have exams anymore (unless I decide to pursue further studies) and no more orals. I don't have to study Theo and Philo anymore. I can read whatever I want anytime and just bum around, lie around doing nothing the whole day. I really am happy to graduate and I see no reason for crying. But my mom said that this is just because it hasn't sunk in yet. 

I kinda believe her. The other day when we bought my laptop (this one, because my desktop exploded last night), the lady attendant asked if I was still studying. My automatic yes almost came out but then I managed to catch myself. I said no. That's when it dawned on me that I am a student no longer. Right after I claimed that diploma, I stepped into the real world of being old and having to look for a job without thoroughly realizing it. Ugh. I felt so old when I said no! And now money is beginning to be an issue. I can't swipe everything and I can't keep on asking money from my parents. There are no job offers yet and the little business thingy isn't totally working. Which sucks because I already bought 50 pcs of tshirts. What am I gonna do with those if this doesn't take off?

Where will I get money?

Ugh. I don't wanna disappear into the workforce just yet. I wanna lie around and not worry a little longer. I wanna still be a kid. I hate it that I'm legally not anymore. I feel like one. I don't know what to do yet.

Pakshet. I have to go design shirts now.

My 6th Sense

According to a Facebook test, my sixth sense is...

Clairaudio

Sound is your sixth sense. You're probably not surprised since you might be found rockin' a pair of headphones at anytime. So how does this relate to your inner voice? A person gifted with clairaudio (clear hearing) is someone very in-tune with sounds. Often a clairaudio "hears" their inner voice or gut feeling. For example, if you were about to do something you might regret (like, hooking up with your best friend's sweetie), you might hear a voice telling you to watch out or reevaluate your choice. You might also hear music at odd times or someone speaking even when no one is around (or when you dream). According to some, you might even be able to hear voices when someone is passing or has died. Now, we probably wouldn't advertise the fact that you hear voices, but you have to admit, it's pretty cool...

The text in pink really made me stop and think. I initially thought, what? Sound? I thought more like sight because I'm a very visual person. But "hearing music at odd times or someone speaking when no one is around" really freaked my out. Okay, I have a lot of weird things. One of them is hearing my name called by someone even when they're not there. Not someone dead. This usually happens when I'm in that almost-asleep state. Suddenly, as clear as if they're beside me, I'd hear the voice of one of my friends call my name. Sometimes it's one of my family members. Sometimes that wakes me up. Sometimes I just fall right to sleep. But it's so loud and clear it's really as if they're in the room with me...

I'm creeping myself out right now.

Busy Bee

As I take a mini-break from my editing job, and as I watch the last hour of Smackdown (Undertaker vs. Vladimir Koslov), a sort of banner marquee popped in my head:

DO NOT MAKE UNDERTAKER LOSE AT WRESLTEMANIA. EVER.

He's 16-0 now, and pretty soon he's gonna retire. I'm not sure of this, and I don't want it to happen that soon (10 more years please! Or just make the streak an even 20, then retire). But I would really hate it (and so would a million other fans) if the Phenom loses at Wrestlemania. That would be an abomination. It'd be out of character and they'd completely ruin his continuity. Also, it's already The Undertaker's legacy. Do not take that away from him. He's put up with a lot, surviving that long in that business and having a super fanbase no matter what he plays (heel or face. If there is such a thing as a neutral in WWE, that's him).

Okay, rant over. I would just like to say that I'm so effing excited for Wrestlemania 25. It's a quarter century old! That is so awesome! How I wish I could be there in person on April 3rd. Oh well. I guess I have to settle for the next Wrestlemania. ANd I'm so very very thankful that we're still here by then. I have no idea if there's WWE in Taiwan.

Anyway, just found out that Batista is going to be here on March 3rd. That's two days away.

-- Okay,The Undertaker just lost to Koslov. That is so impossible. I will riot if he beats The Undertaker at Wrestlemania. --

So where was I? Oh yeah. Batista at Megamall, 2:30pm, March 3rd. Such awful timing. I was thinking he's gonna come later in the month. Grr. I have this required thing to attend in school from 1-5. Ugh! It's such a useless thing!!! I wanna see Batista!!! And yeah, I haven't received word as to who won the contest. I really hope I did. There's no announcement on the site or whatever. Come on Jack TV...

I was supposed to post this 4 days ago, but my brother was hogging the internet that night and I got so busy (still am, just procrastinating). Ah, I can't wait to finish this project. I want to bum around for a while, even just for a week. Got over a hundred more faces to digitally scrub... I'm so tired...

Anyway, here is Batista at Megamall. :) He's HUGE! And I'm happy that I got near, even though I didn't manage to catch one of the posters he threw.
