Quotes from Catcher in the Rye
“Goddam money. It always ends up making you blue as hell.”
“It’s funny. All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they’ll do practically anything you want them to.”
“Don’t ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody. ”
This is my sort of tribute to JD Salinger, who made me realize that writing is...

Haikus
We started discussing poetry yesterday for English 11 under Ma’am Liway, who asked us to write a haiku for next meeting. I ended up making 3 just so I can choose the best one among them. (The fourth one doesn’t count by the way. It just happened to me this morning. Haha.)

A challenge to all Tumblr users.
From an article in yesterday’s edition of Inquirer in the Super section (01/23/10)
“Young illustrators, photographers and designers used to flood Tumblr with their promising works. It was a joy to browse through pages and pages of raw talent. Sadly, what was once a wonderful (even hip) venue for creative expression has now turned into a wasteland of the ultra-annoying.”

BOYCOTT JAY LENO!
This is sad. Conan’s the only late night talk show host I love watching, even when the guests aren’t too interesting, just because I know Conan can pull off a really entertaining conversation with even the dullest guests. And I’ve also discovered so much music just cause of his...
I am a BA Psych student.
That’s Bachelor of Arts, in case you didn’t know.
Which means I have no plans of studying medicine. Nor am I that interested in the “Science” in Psychology that talks about neurons and shiz like that.
So here’s my question, to which I haven’t found an answer yet.

Unfinished verses from a Chem16 lecture
Here are a few stanzas that I’ve managed to write in the Chem 16 lec. I wanna turn this into a song (I’ve already figured out a melody and the chords to accompany it), but not before adding a few more verses. This just came out naturally to me, and I’m surprised I didn’t have many erasures when I wrote it:
There’s a point in your life where you know that you’re...

Two years ago, when the ACET results first came out, the Ateneo site went down, and we all got our information on who passed via this nice girl’s multiply. She took pictures of the lists that were posted at Ateneo. And that was how I found out that I passed the ACET, and made it onto the Director’s List. So when I found out, I was feeling pretty good about myself,...
I haz money to burn. But how to burn it is the big...
I’m so overwhelmed right now with how much I have in my bank from the birthday money my dad gave me and all that money I got from Christmas. Not to mention the allowance I got for this month.
Which means one thing for me:
I need to buy some music equipment.
So please help me decide.

Isn’t it so refreshing to have that “2” next to the “0” in your age?
Oh well. These are social constructs after all. Haha.
Picnic tomorrow, block! :D
Thanks! I’d love to spend the afternoon chilling with the block.
And no, thepaperstar, it’s not refreshing at all. :’-(

Why you often lack sleep
Your schedule for today:
Study for your Ital 10 exam and memorize all the words and tenses and phrases by 11pm. 4 hours is a lot of time, you realize.
And here’s what you did.
7:00 - Reviewed your Ital 10 exercises
7:15 - Checked Tumblr, Facebook, Plurk, and Multiply. Anyway, that shouldn’t take up too much time.
9:00 - Realize how much time you’ve wasted, and tell yourself...

Chieda negoziante. “Quanta il cane?”
Negoziante responda. “Costa trentasei euro. Ha denari?”
Ragazza agrotta. Non ha denari perche non ha la sua portafoglio adesso.

The Triple Demons of Compromise
“Just to the left, and not very far away, were the Triple Demons of Compromise - one tall and thin, one short and fat, and the third exactly like the other two. As always, they moved in ominous circles, for if one said ‘here,’ the other said ‘there,’ and the third agreed perfectly with both of them. And, since they always settled their differences by doing what none...
New epic music from thegreatskadoosh! →
This one’s entitled “Light Your Candles and March”, in light of the fairly recent massacre in Maguindanao. I realized how the music was very fitting for that tragedy.
It’s totally different from my previous FL Studio creations, as it veers away from the electronic and leans closer to the music from Mono, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and perhaps even Hans Zimmerman and...
