The long and winding journey...

weird, wacky, insane

It wasn't one of those normal nights for me... First, I didn't notice my parents were here already. That's rather odd, because I usually hear the doorbell when they arrive. Next thing I knew, they were calling me to their room.

Then when I get in, I see a brand-spanking-new Nokia 7610. But no, it wasn't for me. My mom bought it because her 6600 went bonkers. My dad will end up using it after THAT's fixed. (Lucky him!) While I was tinkering with my mom's new phone though, I suddenly get that sense of deja vu. I guess you all know what that means. It's really weird, especially since I haven't felt it in months! I remember dreaming about tinkering with the 7610 in front of a TV showing birds.

Yep, it's Mulawin alright. Mulawin is so different, but it's basically the same. You know, Mulawin is just a good old-fashioned telenovela with costumes. After all, there's still betrayal ("Traidor sya!") and evil, scheming, rich villains, to name a few. There's really this thing with telenovelas that get many of us hooked. I just have a hard time trying to explain what it is.

Moving on, chat tonight was basically more of the usual (at last!)... At least until love popped up. One of my friends was asking me if I liked someone. I said Yes, then she says, "I'm the only sane person left!" (That's a good one! Hahaha! :D) But seriously, that reminded me of a one-liner I heard from a friend of mine not so long ago. So now I ask...

Is love temporary insanity?

Hmmm... I love leaving open questions. =)) Oh well...

Not much left to say now, I guess. G'night, people! :)

Forza!

P.S. Wow. 2 entries a day for me... I'm really getting into this blogging thingy. :D

  • elo, friend speaking. I just wanted to reiterate, the amount of love you feel is directly proportional to how much sanity/reason you lose. therefore, I conclude that I am the last sane person left in my barkada. =P

  • love is definitely temporary insanity.

  • in response to the "friend"...

    ur just afraid to love or u havent found someone to love or thats a defense mechanism because ur the ONLY one left without a "love"...

    tsk tsk... pathetic!

    temporary insanity? sanity and love are not inversely proportional...in fact, you can be sane and love! phbbt!

    and regarding the author, errr...check ur english dude! you came from lasalle so check ur english!

  • responding to the guy who wrote before me....

    Way to go man, I really see the results of all your schooling there. Almost pulled it off if it weren't for that "phbbt!" part. Combined with the "chat" mode of spelling, it somewhat gives you an immature air, not to mention giving the impression of defensiveness and having been jilted in love. Even the "tsk tsk"... It all gives the impression of someone trying to act grownup and failing, miserably.

    I can't believe my poetry writing was interrupted just so I could read something so...(for lack of a better term) "grade school"... but since I'm here anyway... as a former debater, I think you might want to read up on how to formulate arguments. You'll never win a match with lousy unsupported deductions like that. You don't even know the context in which you are speaking, not to mention your style of writing is that which I might employed as a child, though outgrew by the age of 12.
    Please, don't disgrace my friend's journal with ramblings about something you don't understand.

    Damn, I don't know why I even bother. Cholo you owe me for this one. =P Though I did get a prime example of one who has lost some of his IQ if not his sanity.

  • What's there to check in the grammar? I think it's perfectly fine. First, this isn't something formal. My blog is in a casual setting, so we don't need to be strict on grammar here.

    Second, if you really want to criticize my grammar, I suggest you look at your own grammar first before you critique mine.

    P.S. I moved my post to the bottom so that 'friend' can address the anonymous guy.

  • sowi, i was bored and it's always fun to put down sleazy little weasels.... *grins sheepishly*

  • failing to act grownup? i dont need to act what i am! plus, fun to put down sleazy little weasels....? how grownup! yeah! why did you even bother if it's too childish for you?? guess that just shows how grownup you are!

    para ngang bata, pinatulan mo naman! sorry po lolo!

    nagcollege ka lang, feeling mo ang tanda mo na! sa katunayan mangmang ka naman! mangmang tayong lahat! alam ko sasabihin mo... tignan natin!

  • lol, it's so fun when they squirm in indignation. Thanks for replying, it gives me a chance for more fun and a good deed in the process. Btw, you have a bad memory, I'm a girl... and it was mentioned in cholo's entry.

    You really confuse me. You say you're grownup but suggest otherwise with how you speak. Please please speak in a more intelligent manner, rather than like petulant child. I'm sure you can manage it if you try....

    In response to your comments though.. I never claimed to be old and I bothered because it was fun and I'd do the world (and cholo!) a favor by correcting you.

    As for mangmang, I can't say I know everything but I don't know nothing either... Same goes for you even if you think otherwise. Maybe you can join us in the DL if you work hard enough. Good Luck!!

  • So you're a girl! So what?! Nobody told me "Anonymous" has a gender?

    Yup! You're right! I can manage it! BUT I don't need to try! I just choose to act this way because, according to you, it is fun!

    Correcting me? Correcting what? You can't correct opinions! And how is it a favor to the world?? A favor to "cholo", maybe! But to the world? I don't think so! I think it would more of a favor to the world if you correct yourself!

    I don't want to join you in the DL! I don't need such acknowledgements to tell me I'm good! Work hard enough? I do! Believe me! You just happen to work a lot harder, I'll give you that! Anyway, maybe we should stop this! Continuing this would only show our childish nature! Unless it's ok with you to flood this guy's blog entry with comments! =)
