Para tumaas naman ang hits.
I made this blog for my German 10-11. It’s called a learning portfolio. Frau Jeanne Arroyo said that we can post anything we want in our portfolio. You can even have it handwritten. But being me, I would like to post some youtube videos and pictures, I went for the online one.
I read it, and it felt good that now I have learned a lot about the German language.
Viel Spass!
I seldom read. I can’t even stand my readings for my school subjects. I only read when I’m really bored or when I’m in travel.
When I was a kid, my mom said I read stuff at an early age. I read newspapers, print ads, pretty much anything readable. I don’t know but I think I hate now what I loved doing in my childhood. (except watching TV, and food)
I made this post because I think I don’t read enough books. I feel pressured because sometime in the last month, some of my classmates went to Fully Booked to avail the book sale. They went to buy at least 5 books. And I even can’t choose one. And I see their “to-read” lists over the Christmas Break, and I didn’t think I would read that much over a short amount of time.
I come to think that what I lack in reading, I invest in watching. But it isn’t the same as reading a book.
Ngayon, napag-isip isip ko kung bakit ako hindi mahilig magbasa:
I have imagination problems. When I read books, I tend to picture the characters as they are portrayed in their respective films. Hahahaha.
I got my email last Monday, which I sent 3 years ago. Thanks to futureme.org.
Dear FutureMe,
Na-cool-an ka sa ginawa ni Kuya Kel (Michael Flores, UP Circuit) nung 2005. Eventually, nareceive na niya ngayon yung email niya last 3 years ago. So, that is 6 years from time mo ngayon.
May exam ka sa EEE 23 bukas, Sabado, 4-7 pm. 1st long exam yun. Sana 1 take mo lang ang EEE 23, at naexempt ka sa Finals. Kinakabahan ka na. Pero di ka pa rin nagrereview.
Syempre, di mo makakalimutan na bumagsak ka sa EEE 33. Sana pumasa ka na ng second take. 5th year second sem ka na, so by that time.. nosebleed EEE na ang kinukuha mo.
Kapag nagshift ka na, sana related sa Medicine ang pinagshiftan mo. Nainspire ka kasi sa Grey’s anatomy.
Siyanga pala, nasa 2nd season ka pa lang ng Grey’s Anatomy. Nagpromise ka na nasa 5th season ka na by the end of the year.
Anung season kaya nag-end ang Grey’s? Saka Heroes, Chuck, The Office at Desperate Housewives. Dapat nasubaybayan mo na rin ang 90210, Gossip Girl, Entourage, 30 Rock.
At bet mo na nga pala si Kenny, Crystal at Bob sa Survivor Gabon, nanalo kaya ang isa sa kanila?
By the way, kaka-second thread pa lang ng Djokovic Thread sa PinoyExchange. Andun si ate jennyian, yeomyung, liyan, mykel, sarahtancredi, mrazmaniac at iba pang Djokophiles. By this time, Australian Open 2008 + Tennis Masters Cup 2008 pa rin ang title niya.
P.S Oo nga pala, may napanaginipan ka na naka piggy back ride ang love of your life sayo. Kaso, di mo siya kilala. Sino kaya yun?
P.P.S Sino binoto mo sa 2010 Presidential Elections? Laban pala ni Pacquiao sa Sunday. Si Dela Hoya ang mananalo, sa tingin ko. Syempre alam mo na kung sino nanalo.
Very dramatic. Joke.
I would like to answer my e-mail to myself.
Dear PastMe,
Binagsak mo ang exam na yun. LOL. DI KA NGA NAGREVIEW. Pero 1 take mo lang ang EEE 23 at naexempt ka sa Finals. Super proud ka nung nangyari yun.
AT BUMAGSAK KA SA SECOND TAKE MO. Asar. Hindi na EEE kinukuha mo, pero nosebleed pa rin. German 30-31, 40 at Italian 40. Nosebleed.
Nagshift ka na, pero di Medicine related. And Grey’s Anatomy is so.. 3 years ago. LOL.
At natapos mo nga ang 5th season at the end of the year. Tapos nasira computer na ginagamit mo ngayon. Reformat. Tapos ngayon, di mo na pinapanood ang Grey’s dahil 1 season behind ka na. Pero hahabol ka naman.
Hindi pa rin nag-eend ang Grey’s. Yung Heroes, nacancel ng 4th Season. yung Chuck, Season 5, mag-eend pa lang. Yung The Office, di pa mag-eend pero umalis na si Steve Carell. At yung DH, mag-eend na ngayon, Season 8. Yung 90210, tinigilan ko na. Nanonood ako ng Gossip Girl at 30 Rock, pero yung Entourage, no.
At nanalo si Bob sa Survivor Gabon. Hahahaha.
At third thread na ang Djokovic Thread, ikaw ang gumawa. Andun pa rin sina mrazmaniac, sarahtancredi at mykel. Paminsan si yeomyung, ate jenny. Wala na si liyan, nakakamiss. AT APAT NA ANG GRAND SLAM TITLES NI NOLE. WORLD NUMBER 1 NA SIYA. Di mo pa iniisip yun nung time mo. Hahahaha.
P.S Maygad, kung alam mo lang. Hahaha. Di ko pa rin kilala yun.
P.P.S Di ako bumoto sa presidential elections bilang di ako nagregister. President na ngayon si Noynoy. Tapos, nanalo si Pacquiao. Kawawa naman ang gwapong mukha ni Oscar dela Hoya.
Declaring yourself in blog hiatus is so high school.
As you may see, I am still active in the social networking scene (check the Twitter widget on your right). Well, paumanhin. Meron akong iPod Touch with a Twitter app. So kahit nasa banyo ako, nagtutweet ako. Wag niyo na lang i-imagine kung kailan.
Anyways, what made me blog this time? My paper in Italian. I have been fussing on it for days. But I still haven’t found the will to do it. Hopefully after I post this, though.
Quick things, I was a bit disappointed that our professor changed the movies we are going to watch for the 2nd World War part of our German 40 class. It was The Pianist (the one with Adrien Brody in it) and Der Untergang. But he changed it to Sophie Scholl and some fun film with Hitler in it (forgot the title).
Share ko lang, our group is assigned to report about the East Germany, so we are tasked to watch Das Leben Der Anderen (won the Oscars) and Sonnenallee. Sana hindi na palitan.
Other thing, I enjoyed our mini-concert in MuL 9 earlier. We played Patangguk. I had the biggest one, so I became the rhythm of the group. Turns out I have concentration problems. I really have to concentrate so that I will not get lost in the rhythm. But I guess our presentation turned out well.

PS. I said to myself that I’ll minimize talking about myself too much in blogs (because I already do it often in microblogs) so this post is of its rare kind. (dapat)
is this guy. Bradley Cooper.
I don’t question his sexiness. I question his popularity this year in order to gain such title. Lol, the man didn’t have a good photo in the magazine’s website.
The only explanation to this is the People Magazine peeps watched his The Hangover 2 interview in French before deliberating. And apparently, they forgot that this guy deserves the title more this year:
I don’t know. They just got it wrong this year.
Owell, George Clooney is still the sexiest man alive ever.

The title just means “The songs of the european people.” in German. Don’t be afraid.
As a European Language major, I get to hear music from the European countries all the time. And I say, we have heard a lot of pretty great ones. Enjoy.
Reik – De Que Sirve (Spanish)
Reik is a really really good band from Mexico. I heard this first from my classmate in German who is a Spanish major. The band already won a Latin Grammy (or Grammies, idk). The lead vocals looks like a Mexican Ted Mosby. So, you have found your Mexican Wrestler Ted. Hahahahaha.
I don’t really understand the song, but it’s safe to say it’s for a girl who got away. Then the song becomes emo because he keeps saying vivir “to live”, volver “to come back” etc.
Il Volo – O Sole Mio (Italian)
Il Volo (which means “The Flight” in Italian) is composed of three tenors, Gianluca, Piero and Ignazio. Can you believe that the oldest of these three is only 18 years old? They came from an Italian show called Ti lascio una canzone (I leave you a song) then they formed the group and recently, they toured the US. Therefore, they were featured in American Idol. My favorite is Piero, with the glasses.
I think Italians have the best voices in the whole world. These kids are younger than me, for Christ’s sake.
The song is just a praise for a girl that is in front of the man. Hahaha. O sole mio means “Oh, My Sun” literally.
Andrea Bocelli and Judy Weiss – Vivo Per Lei (Italian/German)
Of course, we go Andrea Bocelli. He’s a legend, for me. This song, Vivo per Lei (I live for her) is a song where Andrea Bocelli always sings the Italian part, and his partner will sing the German/Italian/French/English part. Yes, this song has many versions. The spanish version, though, is just pure spanish. Vivo por Ella is the title.
I am not biased, but I think the best version of this song is Italian/German.
Rammstein – Sonne (German)
German rock.
Rammstein, I think, is the most famous German rock band. I chose this to share because its music video is entertaining. It features Schneewittchen (Snow White) being a tyrant. Hahaha. And the song teaches you how to count in German. “Hier kommt die Sonne” means here comes the sun. Very The Beatles.
Celine Dion – Mon Ami M’a Quitté (French)
I heard this one when I was studying French in high school. The song is about Celine Dion being left by her boyfriend. Hahaha.
For me, it’s more fun watching this:
I hate him because he’s a Fed fan, but I love him because of this. And his other movies.
Constance Carmell > Sue Sylvester.
Not sure about Henry Pollard. I love Ben Wyatt more.
I love Ron Donald. And Ken Marino himself.
Are you starting to realize that this is a lame review of Party Down?
I would like to wear a Party Down outfit on next Halloween.
I would like to work in a Food Catering Business because of this show.
Why was this show cancelled? The show can live on without Jane Lynch (to Glee) and Adam Scott (to Parks and Recreation). It’s not the LOL type of comedy, but the scripts and the settings are witty.
If you still don’t know me, my life is not complete without watching TV Series. Quick background, I started being addicted to TV Series when my mom decided to hook us up in an internet subscription, and I just discovered the power of pirated DVDs.
Anyways, with so many series I watch in my life, I learn most of the useless stuff I know now (useful in Org-sponsored Quiz Bees) from these shows. What have I learned from the shows?
It’s very weird having this question in mind. Actually, I saw this question from one of my Twitter friends. Sabi niya, he wants to look like Josh Charles when he gets old. I agree with him. Josh Charles does look great right now. (He is 40, Thanks Wiki!)
A week before this, my answer to this question was George Clooney. Of course. It is enough said. Then I saw Greg Kinnear in the “I Don’t Know How She Does It” trailer. I said to myself, I don’t want to be super handsome like George Clooney when I grow old! I want to be just this laidback old guy who doesn’t know he looks really good. Scruffy handsome type.
Wala akong nakitang solo pic ni Greg sa movie na to. Eto na lang.
Kapag nakita mo ako when I’m 48 years old looking like this, kiss me on the lips. I won’t mind.

Don’t take this too seriously. I am not unhealthily delusional. I just choose to be one. For humor’s sake. HAHAHA.
(Run Devil Run – SNSD. Mas gusto ko version nila kesa kay Ke$ha.)
I believe I am very late to ride the K-pop wagon. Hindi naman sa nakikiuso ako, trust me, nakikiuso ba ang taong nanonood ng Mad Men sa Pilipinas? Anyways, sasang-ayon naman kayo siguro kung sabihin kong natutuwa ako sa mga koreyanang ito. Ayon sa pagkakadikta ng aking memorya, sila ay sina Sooyoung, Tiffany, Yuri, Yoona, Jessica, Hyohyeon, Seohyun, Sunny and Taehyun (Wow! Kabisado ko!) Pero ang tanong, kabisado ko ba sila sa mukha?
Ginamit ko ang jersey number system sa music video ng kantang Oh! para makilala ang kababaihan ngunit pagkapanood ko ng music video ng Run Devil Run, hala, Super Junior na ata ang pinapanood ko. Para talagang nawala lahat ng “pag-aaral” ko sa mukha nila.
I mean, kaya ko namang magdistinguish ng mukha, at magkabisado ng pangalan. Dahil iyan ang buhay ko, nanonood ako ng kung-anu anong palabas sa TV at Movies, tapos madadagdagan ang People Database sa utak ko. Hindi ko lang talaga alam kung anung meron sa SNSD na hindi ko man lang ma-allocate-an ng memory (malloc, Yuck. Mamatay na ang C Programming.)
Baka naman nagtataka kayo kung bakit gusto kong kabisaduhin ang mga mukha nila, gumawa ako ng mga dahilan kung bakit niyo dapat kilala ang bawat isa sa SNSD.
1. Ang ganda-ganda nila, bakit hindi mo sila kilalanin? Grabe, arguably maganda at sexy silang lahat. Sabihin man natin na may pangit sa grupo nila, kung ikumpara naman natin sila sayo, mas maganda sila (Joke lang.) Pero human nature na ang magcompare ng kagandahan, pero sa taste ko.. lahat sila maganda.
2. Parte ng exam at reports. Nagawa na sa amin ito. Marinig-rinig ko lang sa aking mahal na institusyon (Ang EEEI) na bonus daw ito sa isang laboratory report ata. Eh madalas pa naman mambagsak ang institusyong ito. (17 units, punyeta) Baka si Yoona at si Hyohyeon ang tagapagligtas mo sa bagsik ng singko.
3. Balang araw, magiging prerequisite na ng pagkatao ang makilala ang SNSD. Parang sa kaso ni Sandara Park lang yan. Hindi ka tao kung hindi mo kilala si Sandara. Pero hindi ka rin tao kung kilala mo si Ericka Fife. TV ka na nagkatawang tao. O kaya, pinanganak ka nang nanonood ng Home Along The Riles ang nanay mo. (Sad to say, hindi ako pinanganak ng ganun)
4. Mamamatay kayo kung hindi niyo sila kilala. Taga-Serbia ata kayo kung hindi niyo alam ang balitang may pinatay na dahil hindi alam ang kantang Nobody. Para maiwasang magripuhan, kilalanin ang SNSD. Marami akong kaibigan na nangigripo at nanlalamon ng buhay. At fans sila ng SNSD. Kaya iwasan sila.
5. May kikidnap sayo tapos.. dadalhin ka sa isang bodega kung saan papanoorin ka ng lahat ng video ng SNSD at kailangang maiidentify mo silang lahat after watching. Si Shin Dong ng Super Junior ang kikidnap sayo. Siya yung matabang hate na hate mo pero ang galing niyang kumanta at sumayaw kaya ayaw siyang ilaglag sa grupo.
6. Enough said.
