Hindi na ako natutuwang mag-birthday. Pakiramdam ko habang nadadagdagan ang edad ko ay nagiging lalong huli na para sa akin ang mga bagay-bagay. Di ko makaya ang bilis ng takbo ng buhay. Para akong patay na isda na inaanod na lang ng current ng tubig. Lahat na lang naging delayed sa akin. Meron sana akong gustong gawin o mangyari sa buhay ko bago ako lumampas ng bente uno. Kulang na lang sabihan ko ang mga kaibigan ko na patayin nila ako kapag hindi ko ito nagawa. Kung natuloy yon, bye bye na sana ako sa mundo… sa mismong birthday ko.
Maiba naman tayo, kagabi may nakita akong cute na Koreana. In fairness naman sa mga Koreanong naglipana sa Lipa, noon lang ata ako nakakita ng ganung kaganda. Mahal ko na yata ang Koreanang yon, LOL!
Saka nga pala, tunay ngang September ang breeding season ng mga tao. Marami akong nare-recieve na birthday reminder sa Friendster. Happy birthday na rin sa inyo. Salamat nga pala sa mga bumati sa akin.
The Chick-Autz had a brief drinking session last night. Most of us ordered Red Horse though I want to have Strong Ice, unfortunately it’s not available. Incidentally or intentionally (for my friends already know what happy horse is) I picked up a bottle of happy horse in the second round. Since we’re the most distant to the beers, me and my other friend were that last ones to get a bottle… and the happy horse landed in front of me. Then they began uttering "happy horse" to me. Silly me, I don’t know what it is. Looking closer to the bottle, the horse seems to be smiling in the label and prints in the bottle which is supposed to be white in Red Horse are slightly red in color. I even thought it was fake. They told me that in every case of Red Horse, there’s one happy horse. They also said that happy horse is stronger than the regular Red Horse. That was fun somehow, drinking this already strong beer that is stronger.
Adding to my CD collection is Incubus’ Light Grenades. I bought the album because I love the songs there but it looks like it’s not popular here. Maybe because "Charing na-inlove na si Bondying" LOL and alike are the ones hitting the charts here. Luckily, the CD is on sale and it only costs 299 pesos… almost nearing the price of a local record. I’ve been liking Incubus for years now but this is my first time to get their CD. I don’t know why but in other artists, I have their third album already.
A while ago, I’m on my way to Lipa to attend my class. When I’m about to leave the town proper of Padre Garcia, I noticed this pickup in front of me. Upon reaching the halfway of Brgy. San Felipe, this pickup tried to overtake an owner-type jeep. However, this jeep swerved to the direction of the overtaking pickup making the pickup spin a bit and slide towards a post or a gate (I’m not sure since I’m driving). I think the pickup tried to turn left away from the jeep, braked hard then turn back to the right to keep in control but it resulted to the crash. At first I though the pickup was simply postioned at the side of the road umharmed but when I passed by, the fender and other parts were damaged. I also see water gushing out of the engine’s vent. I’m not sure if the driver is harmed. I just continued driving until I saw the jeep now at my front. When I reached the boundary of Padre Garcia and Lipa, I saw the jeep stopped, seems like there’s a guilt on part of the driver.
After seeing that accident, I felt the same as when I’m just learning how to drive but that didn’t stop me to speed up to 70 kph since I’m already late in my class. I just see to it that I’m speeding only when it’s safe. Also, the flashback only lasts for a while. Besides I don’t need to be scared in driving because it might cause more trouble.
The Sandiganbayan has spoken, former President Joseph Estrada is guilty of plunder. He’s to suffer reclusion perpetua as punishment and confiscated his accounts with the total of around $15 million. For me, the decision was right. It’s even surprising in my own opinion that only few are being charged of corruption. We have shown the world how we wanted to get rid of anomalies in our government.
Of course there will be some who will protest the court’s verdict, I can say it’s alright. It is just annoying that reasons of other people are nonesense. There were those who were marching on the streets without even knowing what plunder means. The only thing they have in mind is that the movie star turned president is their idol and their only hope against poverty. If only they knew how corruption affects the lives of the Filipinos especially the poor. It’s really easy for our leaders to steal from our funds if this is how we think. It is scary that corruption is still being neglected though it is a very serious problem in our country. It’s also funny that the anti-Arroyos want Estrada to be freed. My question is, does it really mean that if they are against Arroyo, automatically they’ll support Estrada? If I’m not mistaken, some of them were shouting Erap resign before. It’s like we’re just running in circles. It is evident that Filipinos forget easily. BTW, I’m against Gloria, as far as her legitimacy is concerned since the 2004 national elections. But no more of Erap, we need to find another contender.
It has been decided, though Estrada can still appeal up to the Supreme Court. But after this, what’s next? Can we also seek justice on others who also committed crime but were just clever enough to hide? We need more transparency because it is very hard or impossible to charge corrupt officials with the current system in our government.
My previous posts are about Bleach anime/manga. You might be asking what the hell is Bleach? Intially it is a story of a young boy named Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends Chad Sado, Uryu Ishida, Inoue Orihime, and Rukia Kuchiki (as shown in the picture, Ichigo is the orange-haired guy followed by the others in clockwise direction). The adventure begins when Ichigo met Rukia, a Shinigami, which should not be the case because humans cannot see spirits including Shinigamis but Ichigo is exempted for he has the ability to see them. The duties of a Shinigami are to send Pluses (spirits) to Soul Society and to cleanse Hollows (evil spirit) by defeating them. When Rukia was injured battling the Hollow, she was left no choice but to pass half of her power to Ichigo but with his unusual strength, Ichigo absorbed almost all of Rukia’s powers making him a substitute shinigami.
Shinigamis are armed with Zanpakutou or the soul slayer which has unique powers depending on the user but they are not exclusive in swordfighting since they also have spells called kido which can be destructive or used in restraining purposes. Most Zanpakutous look like any ordinary sword but skilled users can give commands on them to have a new look and more power… it is called shikai, the initial release of the soul slayer. While Shinigami with hundred years of combat experience can have the ultimate power by achieving bankai, the final release of a Zanpakutou that also varies in every Shinigami using it. When activating shikai, every user gives different commands depending on the power of the sword like awaken, shatter, snap, scatter, roar, grow, bloom, shine, dance, etc. Bankai on the other hand is released by simply shouting bankai, where the excitement arises and makes the word popular because a big fight is to be expected especially if all involved in the fight scene will use it. When shikai or bankai is no longer needed, the soul slayer is sealed to bring it back to its normal form. In case of Ichigo, his Zanpakutou is always in shikai.
These are only the basics of the series. I’ve already explained what is Gotei 13, another feature of Bleach, in my previous post. The gang also faces groups like the Bount — born from a mistake by the Soul Society which is partly from Shinigamis so Bounts possess dolls similar to their Zanpakotou’s characteristics, the Vizards — Shinigamis who attempt to have Hollow powers (just imagine Shinigami with a mask), and the Arrancar — Hollows who remove their mask to obtain Shinigami powers (Hollow with a Zanpakotou). Quite interesting, huh?
It’s not clear to me why the title of the series is Bleach. Some says it’s because Ichigo’s hair is bleached. Other says it means cleansing of souls. But whatever it is, it still kicks ass! Bleach anime is currently airing here in the Philippines at GMA 7.
Gotei 13 is the 13 squads of the Shinigamis in the manga/anime series Bleach. Each division is headed by a Captain, then a Vice-Captain/Lieutenant, and Seated Officers. The Captain of the 1st Squad is also the General of the Gotei 13. The Shinigamis are those who are in kimono armed with a sword (like the guys in Samurai X but the thing is, they all wear black) while their Captains wear an extra white dress with a unique diamond printed at the back that symbolizes Gotei 13. Inside the diamond is the number indicating what squad they belong. This playlist is a compilation of all the Bleach ending 3. There is version for every division of the Gotei 13, a good thing to familiarize every personalities of each squad.
For me, the cutest character in the manga/anime series Bleach and also deadly for she is the Vice-Captain of the 11th Division of Gotei 13. Being small, she is often seen on the shoulder of her Captain or on the head/face of other shinigamis, LOL! She’s also fond of giving others strange nicknames. Kung magkaka-anak ako gusto ko kasing cute ni Yachiru. ^_^
