Illustrated Ironic Reunion




Ironic Reunion

Last Wednesday, the MYSTICAL FIVE, together with Ed and Bebang, went to Pampanga for the last night of the wake and the burial the next day... My friends and I talked about how odd life's jokes are. DRY HUMOR. Kasi kami, we havent seen each other in ages, and the only time we finally found time to be together now that we have to see Peter and Paul go. Ironic and sad.

The twin's untimely death, though shocking and unexpected, paved the way for a much needed reunion. It gave life to the memories of our college years that we temporarily have almost forgotten. Suddenly, it's like it was only yesterday when we were struggling Iskolars ng Bayan, looking at a life full of promise and a string of problems [some of 'em really petty].

It's another thing reason for me to say thank you to Peter and Paul. They made us realize how important it is to appreciate our lives, AT PRESENT... While we still have time. There's no room for hangups. We should be happy now, with hope of being happier in the future.

Peter and Paul, 'til our next gimmick.

Peter and Paul were icons back in college, women were lured by their silent charm and men were envious of their being oblivious to the looks of admiration being thrown at them.

But above all, Peter and Paul were each other's strength.

They were special. More than special in fact.

I still can't believe that they're gone... it's so surreal. I can still imagine them smiling, playing badminton, driving and doing everything together with that contentment that you rarely see in the eyes of people our age. They loved each other more than brothers, more than twins, even more than their own lives.

I feel blessed to have known them and to have experienced the ray of sunshine that they give when they're around.

I will not cry nor will I say goodbye.

Peter and Paul, 'til our next gimmick.

-------------
Peter and Paul Mendoza, two of my memorable, endearing and unique friends in college, passed away last night in a car accident on their way home. The wake's in their house in Pampanga. My condolences to their loved ones and to the people who are weeping for the void that they have momentarily left us. I am not worried, I know we shall hangout again...

On Manny Pacquiao and his Newly-acquired "Twang"

"Hindi lahat ng bumabagsak nagsu-summer." - Morales [courtesy of Rainy]

Quoting one of the commentators of the fight, Manny's win will determine whether or not the Filipinos will have a great weekend. So, GREAT WEEKEND indeed.

The thing is, I was so excited about the fight that I fell asleep while waiting for Manny's match. I guess it could be attributed to the ho-hum performance of Villoria. I was awakened by Lew's text message...

Lew: Naalala kita. Pacquiao na kasi e! Panalo na! Umayaw si Morales e.
Euns: Seryoso?
Lew:Umayaw talaga. As in umiling ulo nya. Pag-upo after ng 2nd round ayaw na tumayo e.

Ayun na.

I got to watch it naman 'coz it was replayed in Channel 2. First of, Sarah Geronimo's [pronounced Jero-mino by the announcer] rendition of the Lupang Hinirang. Ok lang. Better than "that other" singer who shouted "Laban Pacman!" after a flat ending. Pacquiao's entrance song was of course his very own song, "Laban Nating Lahat Ito". Gawd, I love his guts. Haha. Matatawa ka na lang talaga. Buti na lang magaling syang boxer, kundi KUROT sya sakin!

It was a short short fight. I felt sorry for Morales the moment he shook his head signaling to the referee that he didnt want to continue anymore. It was not an apt ending for a last career fight [everybody's speculating that he's retiring soon, even his dad wanted him to retire]

What really made my day? Well, the post-fight interviews. Manny's "TWANG" with all the You-know's and the basta-matapos-ko-un-sentence-bahala-na-kung-anong-preposition-ang-tama statements. Ang cuuuute! haha. Sana may tanscript un mga ganung interview nya. Aliw talaga e.

Love-Hate Relationship

Oo, naiirita ako na may album ka.
Naiirita ako dahil nakaka-LSS un commercial mo [Xtreme, xtreme.. Magic Siiiiiiiiiing.]
Naiirita ako dahil parang barubal ka.
Natatawa ako dahil "english-speaking ka..."

Pero SHIT... Manny, WAG KA MATATALO!!!! [at Sarah Geronimo, wag ka pipiyok sa pagkanta ng Lupang Hinirang, ehem.]

Btw, Shem and Yves went to Ateneo today. Paano ko sila unang nakita? Well, I was inside the washroom at bigla na lang sila pumasok din.... At sumigaw kaming lahat. Not exaggerating, as in the three of us shouted. Oh well. I miss moments like that. And yeah, I miss my "nosebleed" moments with Mumiel. Nagbalik na ang puso nya. =P

My Inspiration





Didnt Start the Sem Right...

Lord, bahala ka na muna. Please don't let my hand go. I'm kind of losing faith.

I'm Ok Now

Ready to start my 2nd sem and ready to face whatever it is i have to face... again. All's well that ends well i guess.

My sister had a blast yesterday and today because of her birthday. I've never seen her happier.In fact, I've never felt happier in a long time. My family will always bring out the fragile side of me. Yet, this fragility also is my source of strength to surpass the roadblocks of my life. It's really one helluva race but with my family cheering me on, I know i'll reach my finish line.

Mood-upgrading or Mood-degrading?

I almost forgot that I liked how Simon grouped situations and people into "mood-upgrading" and "mood-degrading". Salamat Rach at napaalala mo sa blog mo 'to. Today was mood-upgrading, twas my sister's birthday and my family had dinner and bonded.

Last night, I had a three-hour kwentuhan with my parents and it was the perfect "mood-upgrader" right before the sem starts. I told 'em about an unfortunate law school incident earlier in the day and they were very sympathetic. They even told me how proud they are of me, that was nice. A genuine mood-upgrading moment.

I haven't read a single page for my Civil Procedure homework on Tuesday. It's mood-degrading but I guess I'd rather think of it as a well-deserved last hurrah of shirking before I plunge again into the cold pool that is the law school.

Yvie gave me a "cyber lss" or what I'd like to call as a "mental lss". Bagay ba sa'kin ang kulot. She cut her hair and now i'm the only kulot DuhPerm senior. I'm thinking of having a haircut too, but I get haunted by my fear of looking like siopao if i cut it too short. Bahala na on Monday.

I haven't been getting much sleep. Because for the whole week, I was compelled to eat lunch on time with my parents. No, I dont hate that fact. I'm just saying that since I'm an insomniac, waking up at 12nn is not really a good thing during sem break.

But generally, I am happy. Looking forward to watching more entries for Cine Europa this week. Woohoo.

Cine Europa 2006

Last night was Rach's and my final shot on having a social life right before class starts... After our registration and sort of dinner with Ces and Carlo @ Goodearth, we headed to Shangrila to reward ourselves by watching two entries at the 2006 Cine Europa.

Our first film was "One Way Ticket to Mombasa" [Menolippu Mombasaan from Finland] directed by Hannu Tuomainen and written byAtro Lahtela and Hannu Tuomainen. When I read the synopsis for the flick, I dismissed it as another "Someone's dying so let's get out of here" plot. What made me appreciate it was its disturbingly laidback way of showing Jusa's journey towards his death, Pete's struggle to find a real life and the friendship that was formed in between living and dying. It was depressing because both characters were at PEACE amidst their own struggles. The flick brings out FEEL GOOD DEPRESSION, if it that exists.

Of course it didnt hurt that Pete [played by Antti Tarvainen] is a total hottie.

We psyched ourselves for the next film by going to Starbucks for a quick "drink". A few topics downed, we went back to the cinema excited and intrigued at what effect our second film for the night will have on us.


from IMDB

Our second film was "Simon" [Directed and written by Eddy Terstall from Nethelands]. "Simon" was a consolidation of a lot of things that are "DUTCH". It successfully demonstrated the synergy of these idiosyncrasies into a compact and solid whole that is the Dutch Culture. It tackled socially relevant issues like gay marriages, euthanasia, inter-cultural marriages, hash etc.

My favorite line would be, "Time does not exist." which I sort of connected to the circuity and continuity manifested through flashbacks. Simon, in my opinion, is more depressing than "One Way Ticket to Mombasa" because the pain, grief and fear of the characters are masked by the humour and color of the plot.

Eddy Terstall successfully presented the film not as something which gives rise to arguments, nor as a film hinting on what is right or what is wrong but as a film which plays with the emotions of the audience without dictating what should and should not be felt. It is in this film that you can independently decide as to whether you would want to dwell on the perfection that Camiel Vrolijk [brilliantly portrayed by Marcel Hensem] found in his homosexuality or on Simon's [played by equally wonderful actor Cees Geel] "seemingly" nonchalant acceptance of the oddities in his life. It can be described as "looking at the stars, appreciating different constellations without having to decide which constellation is most mystifying".

In the end, I felt bittersweet contentment at the same moment that Simon jumped towards his decided death.

There was an open forum right after the movie.. I sort of managed to ask two questions because I am a true blue "pa-star". haha...


camwhoring w/ Eddy Testall [director of Dutch film SIMON]

What better way to evidence my satisfaction than to strike a pose with the director who found a new fan in me.. That's after a short chat about his country, Netherlands.

IT WAS A GREAT, GREAT WAY TO END MY SEMBREAK WITH A BANG THANKS.
RACH for coming up with the idea of checking Cine Europa out. Let's do this again next week.

Happy Birthday Bunsotutoy!!!



You know that I love you dear...

That Maita Moment

This is beyond embarrassing that the one thing that's left to do is just laugh and blog about it. [Ok, that's actually two things]

Ok, I was being my usual vain self doing "my thing" at the women's washroom... I couldnt see my whole self so as a routine, I would "make sampa" [haha] on that step sa part na parang pinaghuhugasan ng mop ng mga utility personnel sa harap ng salamin... [Maraming girls ang gumagawa nun so di un weird talaga] At that exact moment na I stepped down, pumasok si Ma'am Maita sa washroom at nagkagulatan kami. Tumawa na lang ako ng tumawa sa sobrang kahihiyan. Para mas nakakahiya, sinilip ni Ma'am Maita [Chan-Gonzaga] kung saan ako galing [yes, she had that "where did she come from? and what was she doing there? look], kumunot ang noo, lumingon sa akin, ngumiti at sinabi... "I'm not even gonna ask."

Ayun na. "That Maita Moment".

It's a given that people will disappoint you...

...but the people you trust will disappoint you the most.

The pain. The pain is not only unbearable, it's destructive... lethal.

Returning to Our Corner

I was thinking of that single moment when I shared the corner with Peter Pan, when I told him that things'll be fine and that ____ was not a bad subject to fail. If i were to rewind that scene and tweak it a li'l bit [in as far as the depth of our friendship is concerned] , this would be what I'll tell him. Considering the fact that he's not gonna be here anymore... I mean, in the law school.

If things don't turn out the way we planned it, we shouldn't feel too bad about it. We have to look at it as an opportunity to start fresh. To plan anew. To redesign how you see yourself in the future. I'm not worried that you'll do good, in fact, i'm scared that you might live the life that I cannot live now that you left me here behind. I at times envy those who aren't here anymore, not because I hate my being in Ateneo Law but because I hate my whiny self. Getting booted out doesnt make you less of a person, it just makes you more experienced and well, sexier. So cheer up. At the end of this conversation, I still am here and I still admire you. Kung tabako lang sana niyoyosi natin, mas matagal pa sana itong landian na'to.
This is in a way my way of saying goodbye to him. Mags-start na ulit ang sem. Sayang di na ko pwede maki-bum sa'yo.

WINNER nga ito!

Nakakatawa talaga.

From Wikipedia:

Life Away from the Ring

Warrior officially retired from wrestling in 1999. He found a new career as a conservative speaker and commentator, denouncing left-wing politics. Most notably, he mentioned that "queering doesn't make the world work" (44:20-46:50 of the video) during a speech at the University of Connecticut. Warrior has explained those comments on his website as meaning that the human race would die out if everyone were a homosexual.
According to a 2000 research study by Turner Networks, Warrior and Bill Goldberg were among the top five most internationally recognized wrestlers in the world, behind Hollywood Hogan and Kevin Nash. In April 2006, WWE.com had a poll for the most deserving person for the WWE Hall of Fame. Warrior received the most votes, but it is unlikely that Warrior would agree to join.
So there. I need chicken soup, I'm not feeling well.

Paasang Horoscope... blech.haha

Dear Eunice,
Here is your single's love horoscope
for Wednesday, November 8:

You end up becoming so absorbed in having a life that you forget all about love. Of course, this is just what the stars are waiting for. They're dying to surprise with a whammy of something deliciously romantic.

Whew.

According to Mia, she went to school today and found out that our Sales grades are in. Ate Pearl told her na WALANG BUMAGSAK SA SALES.

Woohoo! Way to go 2B! Good job!

ACCURATE TICKLE RESULTS ...

Eunice, you could have been a famous Actor

Marilyn Monroe? Veronica Lake? Humphrey Bogart? A scene-stealer like you could have been any one of these legendary entertainers. Like Hollywood's acting elite, you've got loads of charisma and charm, and you know how to use it.

Whether you're turning heads on the way to work or making the rounds at a party, you're a people person who loves basking in the spotlight. With your bold spirit and magnetic aura, you're sure to brighten up any room and leave your adoring fans spellbound and begging for more.


Eunice, your celeb look is inspired by Christie Brinkley

Even if your face hasn't graced the covers of magazines the world over just yet, you share this beauty icon's effortless sense of style. Like your gorgeous and radiant counterpart, you're probably known for having timeless look that never goes out of fashion.

A natural beauty, you seem to understand that having a healthy body and bright smile is always in fashion. That's why you'd rather be well dressed in a way that isn't trendy or over the top. Leave the flashy glamour to other folks. You create a look that makes people focus on you and your natural assets. Keep it up!

Eunice, your football fantasy is Working the Bleachers

That's right, hot stuff. Your stats are best when you're going up against the opposite sex. While the action unfolds on the field, a flirt like you is more likely to be scanning the crowd than taking note of the game's best plays.

Whether it's a quick wink at the concession stand or a victory dance for a touchdown, you know that the game is a perfect place to meet your match — as long as you're rooting for the same team! With your alluring ways and smooth moves, it's highly unlikely you'd drop the ball anyway. Love of the game? You bet!

Eunice, you're most like Cameron Diaz

Whether she's clowning around in movies or surfing at the beach, Cameron Diaz gives off a fun, laidback vibe. Like her, you've got a happy-go-lucky energy and low-key approach to life. At your roots, you have an adventurous spirit that makes you game for just about anything.

Funny and self-confident, you make friends wherever you go and are probably pretty used to being the center of attention or at least being the one who gets the party started. One thing's for certain, life's never boring with a sunny sistah like you around!

Come South, Cam Sur.

I was BLOG-HOPPING at Multiply when I came across Karmina's blog. She was raving about Camarines Sur.... Read her entry here.

According to her, "It's better than Boracay coz you get the whole package in one place, the beach, the caves, the waterfalls and people there know how to party!"

Tidbits from Karmina's blog:

I was assigned to cover an event in Camarines Sur and the result was piles and piles of work when I got back. ALL WORTH IT. Stop saving your allowance for Boracay since a bus trip to CamSur in a luxury bus to boot (RSL Bus Lines) is only worth P760 (papunta pa lang). But a regular air conditioned bus is only around P500+. Lodgings I have no idea how much it costs but Pili, Camarines Sur is a pretty small and affordable town. If you wanna try wakeboarding at the CamSur Watersports Complex (CWC) it's surprisingly affordable. You can rent equipment and wakeboard the whole day for P250. You might not have personal instructors but there will always be people there to look after you and teach you. They also have a clubhouse and a nice swimming pool where you can sunbathe with a breathtaking view of mountains and clouds... hayyy.. I wanna go back. Wait until the town goes full blasts on the CWC complete with villas, ATV's. more challenging ramps and gamicng center and whatnots. The governor has pretty big plans on CWC so drop by while it's still cheap.
So, I googled Camarines Sur for pics... this is the province's official website

Guys, let's go?

In line with the UP Vandal post...

got this from a comment in Vida's blog... from a certain algonzales96:

"may nag scratch sa pick up ng brod ko... yung 4X4 linagyan ng = 16 tapos kinabukasan linagyan ng check! hahaha!"

Shit, I laughed really hard dahil dito. Baliw kung baliw a.

May continuation pa:

"Sabi ko nga iuwi na nya un sasakyan kasi baka mamaya may maglagay pa ng CORRECTED BY."
Hahahaha...

It became "SOFTER"... a bit.

Got my grades for Criminal Procedure, Forensic Medicine, Land Titles and Property. GOOD ENOUGH to give me a next sem, assuming I get at least a 75 for Criminal Law, Security Transactions, Sales, Partnership and Agency and Negotiable Instruments.

Sooooooooooofter please. Soooooofter. Thank you Lord.

Could it be any HARDER?

They didnt finish encoding our grades. So we have to wait [again] 'til tomorrow evening. Same time, SAME FEELING.

----------

Chubs [who's in FEU-La Salle Law] asked me if i had an Atty. Gonzaga as my professor. I nonchalantly said no and told him that i'd ask around. I did. And well, it turned out I'M STUPID. Hello??? Atty. Chan-GONZAGA? She was my adviser for the whole freshman year. I just didnt associate Atty. Chan-Gonzaga with Atty. Gonzaga. This is one example of a tulalang law student waiting for her grades.

Goodluck with your midterms, Chubs! Kick ass.

10 Minutes

This is not as good as Paulo Coelho's Eleven Minutes.. but in 10 minutes, I will find out what I'm gonna be in the future.

Today's Stresses? Ahh.. OO. Grades.

Tempers might be on edge in conversations between you and some of your close friends, Eunice. Even you, who are usually very laid back and easygoing, might be tempted to snap at people. There's tension in the air, and nerves are strained. Realize this and control the urge to lash back if someone says something insulting or otherwise inappropriate. You won't want today's stresses to affect tomorrow's conversations. Be patient!

Great, just great.

GRADE RELEASE
then: 5pm
now: 10pm

At least the announcement was official, as opposed to last year. I hate waiting. Especially if it involves something which would materially alter [naks, Negotiable Instruments] my future. Japhet called me on my cellphone and we had quite a conversation. All we needed was to talk again at voila, BAKLA nanaman kami. Haha. Ang nagagawa nga naman ng kaba sa paghihintay ng grades.

I Have Faith... because they have faith.

I was buying "inihaw" for merienda when I bumped into a former neighbor.. She's the lola of my "playmate" back when I used to play. [no pun intended]. Surprisingly, she still remembers me and she knows that I'm in the law school. She told me that she'll pray for me so I can finally fulfill my dream of becoming a lawyer. But what almost made me cry was when she said,

"Pangarap ko sana yan para sa mga anak ko e, pero wala naman sila hilig. Ikaw na lang tumupad ng pangarap ko."

It felt so good that people, even those whom I havent seen in a while, believe in me. I live for them. What I lack in self esteem, I get from 'em.

MAGASIN

I was browsing through the pages of my stack of magazines when I chanced upon YOUR PICTURE. You looked so cute, so innocent... but I know better than to equate you with INNOCENCE. You're far from it. I remember how we became friends and it still makes me smile. How we first talked, how we first met. It was a chain of bizarre situations and we got caught up, involuntarily.

I should've said yes when you asked me to stay. Now, all I have are impersonal pictures of you smiling for the camera, for the people who barely know you. I've always known you were cute, but when you used to smile for me... you were definitely at your cutest.

Yeah, you were an ASS. But I think I loved you.

Old Issues. New Fears

November 6th. Six?! Must be an omen. Grades'll be released today and I feel terrible as usual. I think I f*cked my finals up. That's why I don't like getting ok grades for Midterms, I slack off. Now I'm paying the price and I'm really really scared. I just hope I stored enough good karma to make me pass through this sem again.

I *need* to stay long enough in the law school so I can witness the "chaos" that a new issue might bring. I am not hoping for it to happen, I'm just interested in knowing how things'll work out. Basta. I'm hoping for the best.

A week to go and I'm off to Study Land again, no more Neverland for me because my Peter Pan left. Or was made to leave.

Judgmental talaga ako. Ayoko manalo si Rosita sa Pinoy Dream Academy. At naiinis ako na parang pinapaasa sya na magiging superstar sya. [hoping na di mahilig mag-surf ang mga fans ni Rosita]

Finished with HOUSE. So, I'm off to Dharma and Greg, Arrested Development, Scrubs and Ally McBeal.

Ahas ka, Eunice!

I literally am like a snake. Nagbabalat kasi. I finished watching the First and Second Seasons of ENTOURAGE so my sibs and I are off to having a HOUSE marathon. I have a personal Dharma and Greg marathon in-between. Basically, my life revolves around the boob tube.
My sister and I were watching TV Patrol when we sort of got into a consensus that almost all of their news was about people getting killed. Na-overdose kami. TV Patrol’s like a tabloid. I like Bandila more. But the thing that bothers us THE MOST is the fact that both our mom and dad are religiously watching Super Inggo. My mom said, and I quote, “Nakaka-addict kasi e.”. How did I come into this conclusion? We were having dinner when we got into a discussion about how someone becomes a superhero. My mom seriously commented, “It's either ung mom or dad nya un superhero. Si Ava Abaniko kasi mom nya un superhero tapos aswang naman un dad nya... Kaya nga allergic sya kay Super Bawang” I laughed. I could not believe we were discussing it. Laughtrip talaga. Dibdiban.
I promised myself that I'll read in advance for Criminal 2 next semester. Yeah, promises are meant to be broken anyway. Argh.

Memorable Quotes from ENTOURAGE

Ari Gold: Call me Helen Keller because I'm a fucking miracle worker!

Justine Chapin: [Justine and Vince are flirting in a club] You're gonna have to work for it.
Vince: I got into this business so I wouldn't have to work.

Ari Gold: I thought you already were his manager. Because believe me I would not put up with this much shit from anyone who wasn't.
Eric: Yeah, I know I am, but I want to do it for real, you know? I want to have the conversation, lock it in.
Ari Gold: So you come to me for advice. I'm gonna fucking cry. All right, here's what you do. You deal with talent the same way that you deal with women. You have to make them believe that they need you more then you need them.
Eric: He doesn't need me that much.
Ari Gold: Of course he doesn't need you. You're fucking worthless. I could get a million morons to come in here and do the job. That's not the point.
Eric: Then what is the point, Ari?
Ari Gold: The point is that he is an insecure fuck, like all beautiful-but-handed-everything-on-a-silver-platter people. He doesn't trust anyone in this world but you. You've been born into royalty baby. You know it. Now you just gotta be thankful, and wear the crown.

Ari Gold: Listen, Lloyd, I want you to put all my files, folders, binders, *everything* into a box! If you find a used condom, an executioner's mask, and a fucking spike paddle, don't think, just pack that bitch! Chop suey!

Adam Davies: [Adam Davies reveals himself to be the traitor within Ari's coup d'Ʃtat] You should be a nicer person. Maybe then people wouldn't fuck you.
Ari Gold: You talked, Davies?
Ari Gold: [Davies turns away to leave] Hey, Adam.
Adam Davies: Yeah, Ari?
Ari Gold: Just so you know, your girlfriend, when she was in the mailroom, offered to blow me. True story.

Ari Gold: [Ari doesn't want Vince to do Queens Blvd] You know what they feed people on an indi set, Vinne? Nothing! They don't give you a trailer. They tell you to go sit on an apple box. Ever try to bang an extra on an apple box?
Eric: Well, if anybody could do it, Vince could.
Vince: I do have great balance.

Ari Gold: [comes out of office. Emily follows and they continue walking throughout] Where am I going?
Emily: Ari, you're 20 minutes late already. Ari, I need to talk to you about something.
Ari Gold: Walk with me.
Emily: Vince and the guys are going to a party at Josh Weinstein's.
Ari Gold: Who's Josh Weinstein?
Emily: Are you joking? He's your old assistant.
Ari Gold: I have *many* old assistants.
Emily: All right, two before me. Before Jackie, after Jerod.
Ari Gold: Ah-ha - my "J" phase. I think I fired him for stealing pens. Why do I care about Josh?
Emily: Well, now he's an agent at Triad. And he's the one who gave the boys Queens Boulevard.
Ari Gold: [Ari turns on a dime and starts back to his office] That's why no more guys! You fire a guy you create a rival. You fire a woman you create a housewife.
Emily: [still following] That's sweet. You're still late.
Ari Gold: Hold all my calls. And get Mini - Vince on the phone.

Eric: [Emily is Ari's assistant. She and Eric have broken up. Eric walks to her desk] Hey.
Emily: [into intercom] Pizza boy's here.
Eric: Really?
Eric: Really.
Eric: [sighs and enters Ari's office] What's wrong with her?
Ari Gold: From now on ask my permission before you bang one of my assistants.
Eric: How'd you know that?
Ari Gold: 'Cause I know all. And I could have told you that this would end badly. Now I gotta to fire her so you don't feel weird.
Eric: No. Don't fire her.
Ari Gold: All right. Well, I'll just sexually harass her until she quits.

The Sherpa: The Earth is moving. Did you feel that? Everything. All the time. Dimensions we can't even see. Everything is evolving. Turtle, you're a dove.
Turtle: That's cool. Can I hit that, Sherp? Thanks.
Eric: You afraid of getting busted?
The Sherpa: Busted? I'm entrusted, man. I don't steal. I heal. We're not getting stoned. We're getting honed. Reprobation officer's one of my best customers. I'm a prisoner. I'm a prisoner of, uh, war. War on drugs. It's all so negative, man. I mean, the Man's most positive positive-tive is a nega-tive. It's a mega-nega-tive. Right?
[shouts]
The Sherpa: Viking Quest! Let them be low. We are getting *high*. We're not getting fucked down. We're getting fuck up.

Johnny Drama: I've been working steady for the past twelve years, minus the last three.

[Ari is about to leave his kid's birthday party for business reasons]
Ari's Wife: Where are you going?
Ari Gold: They flew in the liver, and I gotta do the transplant.

Ari Gold: The next one after "Queens Boulevard" is a studio picture: I'm talking franchise, baby. We'll get you the lunchbox. And an action figure with a monster cock.

Turtle: You'd take in the ass for a guest spot on The Hughleys.

Johnny Drama: [long pause among the guys] Well, i mean, in NY its east.

Turtle: We saw Kristin in the middle of 40 Deuce with her hands down Vince Vaughn's pants.
Eric: She had her hands down his pants?
Johnny Drama: Yeah, both of 'em.
Eric: Vince Vaughn? That puffy motherfucker?
Johnny Drama: Nah, bro, he didn't look puffy at all... He was lookin' reeeeal good.
Turtle: Yeah, it was kinda like "Swingers" Vince Vaughn, not Old School Vince Vaughn... it's kinda like Neeewww Schoool Vince Vaughn.

Eric: [Eric and Ari are discussing film roles for Vince] Tom Cruise is going to play Pablo Escobar? C'mon, the guy's not even Hispanic.
Ari Gold: Yeah, and Hilary Swank has a vagina, but she won an Oscar pretending she has a dick. That's what actors do. They pretend.
Eric: All right, I got it. So what if Cruise passes?
Ari Gold: Then they go to Brad Pitt. He passes, they go to Keanu Reeves, and on down the list.
Eric: Where is Vince on that list?
Ari Gold: He ain't on the list.
Eric: Well, how do we get him on the list?
Ari Gold: You do "Aquaman," you stupid fuck!

Ari Gold: [after his Viagra has kicked in, to his angry wife] I'm ready to go here, all right? It's like R. Kelly at recess. Honey, honey, what are you doing? Are you kidding me? Baby!

Ari Gold: You can have it if you want to live in Agora fucking hills, and go to group therapy, but if you want a Beverly Hills mansion, a country club membership, and nine weeks a year in a Tuscan villa, then I'm gonna need to take a call when it comes in at noon on a motherfucking Wednesday.

Surprised Kid: That's great, that's awesome!
Ari Gold: That's "awesome", huh? You didn't think to bring it up in the fucking staff meeting? An e-mail? A yellow fucking sticky-something?
Surprised Kid: I... I didn't know I was supposed to know that kind of stuff.
Ari Gold: Well, what is it you're supposed to know, do you think? What the fuck do we pay you for? To get your agency card laminated so you can go to Shelter and try to fuck Mischa Barton?
Surprised Kid: I... I didn't think...
Ari Gold: Let me tell you something. You don't have to say anything, know why? Cause you can pick up all your stuff, cause you're mother-fucking fired!
[Ari storms out]
CAA Assistant: What happened?
Surprised Kid: I don't know. I came in to drop off Peter's mail and Mr. Gold fired me. My life is over!

Eric: We gotta get Cameron to see "Queens Boulevard."
Ari Gold: You haven't even seen it yet!
Eric: I saw the scenes that Vince looped today. They looked amazing.
Ari Gold: Great. So you want me to get the biggest director in the game to see some low-budget indie flick that you think is amazing based on some out-of-context scenes from a looping stage.

Ari Gold: We are gonna get drunk with Russell Crowe and we're gonna head-butt some goddamn kangaroos.

Turtle: Who the fuck wants a hand job?

Vince: Johnny Depp's got the kinda career I want.
Eric: Johhny Depp did "Pirates of the Caribbean". And if I'm not mistaken, he wore a swashbuckling costume and carried a sword.
Turtle: Yeah, but he already dresses like that in real life, though.

Turtle: This is where you should be living, Vince. In a kingdom, like a prince.
Eric: Don't you mean in a kingdom like a king, you idiot?
Vince: Nah, E. Everyone wants to kill the king. But the prince, he just sails along telling all the ladies, "One day I'm gonna be king."

Eric: No, Ari, it's a fucking iceberg.
Ari Gold: What are you talking about?
Eric: James Cameron's directing Aquaman.

Call Josh Weinfuck, the lightweight pen-stealing fuckface.
Ari Gold: [tastes Josh's drink and pours it out] That's awful.

Ari Gold: Emily!
Ari Gold: [Emily enters Ari's office] I want you to go to that party on Saturday, represent the agency, let Vince know that my Army's everywhere.
Emily: Ari, I really don't want to get in the middle of this.
Ari Gold: You are in the middle of this, whether you like it or not. Okay? You wanna be a hero? You want a medal, or are you a coward?
Ari Gold: [Emily looks away] Knock off the hippie shit, strap on a helmet, and start shooting. This is Malibu, Emily, I want you to storm that beach like it's fuckin' Normandy!

Entourage

"Entourage"
A lifestyle is a terrible thing to waste

I am loving ENTOURAGE. I accidentally bought its DVD for the first and second season and well, i've been watching it since the beginning of my sembreak. It's not a new show, it started in 2004 but it's the first time that I heard of it. Saya. Sabi nga ni Carlo, it's like the guy version of Sex and the City.

I am smittened by Eric [played by Kevin Connolly], Vince Chase's [played by Adrian Grenier] bestfriend / manager whose character is just so endearing... he's like a good and bad boy rolled into one HOT PACKAGE. Ari [played by Jeremy Piven] reminds me of my friend Sam. Ari's funny in a scary kind of way.

If you guys need something to watch that's not stressful but entertainingly tiring, i recommend ENTOURAGE. Plus, an episode is just approximately 30 minutes long so "dragging" is not part of its vocabulary. I don't have its Season 3 yet but I WILL BUY IT if it's available.

Ryan and Reese Broke Up??!

I got the email from iVillage and didnt pay much attention.. but when I read Pi's blog, i think it's official... Reese and Ryan broke up. True love does not exist.

But I'm not gonna dishearten my friend AM, who just got into a relationship [finally!] with her knight in shining armour Eric... I told her we're like characters in The OC... I'm Marissa for my being melodramatic and she's Summer for having all the kilig moments. Ok lang, at least akin si Ryan. Bruskong-brusko!
