Looks like Boracay... but it's only Matabungkay!











Akala ko talaga jologs ang Matabungks. Pero nung pumunta ako a few months ago, ganda din pala. Kasi nasa far end na ng beach ito... sa private residences part at hindi sa public kung saan tumatambay ang lahat ng excursionista

hollywood sub cult

Watched the Expendables last night. It sucked. More notably, I think old fart Sylvester Stallone should quit action movies. It was pathetic to see him EXPEND his oldfart energy running to catch a plane in one scene.



Stupid H-wood action movie producers, please make him expendable.

unsubcultured bucket list item #8

Wasted a totally sunny and beautiful Saturday because I was hungover. CHECK.

rizalista + francism style opm sub cult

What was the greatest thing I've ever written?

90s. Nasa advertising pako nun. My agency was pitching for a bank.

My boss asked me to write a song as part of the pitch and the campaign.

Wrote the jingle all night... didn't sleep.

The words came together at around 6am.

Long story short... we won the pitch.

The song I wrote was part of the pitch.

And the song was commissioned to FrancisM.

He revised the words a bit to fit his style... and he made the music.

The song: Idol Ko Si Rizal for RCBC.

Pang-commercial nga lang ang airplay sa radyo. At hindi umabot sa album niya.

Pero one of the proudest damn moments of my life.

Here's a link to that song... http://gabogabster.multiply.com/music/item/1/Lyrics_by_Gab

Idol ko si Rizal

May kuwento ako sa inyo
mga 'tol, wooh
Kuwento ng isang bayaning Pinoy, hoy
Makinig ka, dinggin
Jose ang kanyang pangalan
At nang siya'y barilin sa Bagumbayan
Nagising sa katotohanan ang ating bayan

Malaya, 'di alipin
Mapayapa't 'di marahas
Kalayaan daw ay walang katumbas
Matapang, 'di duwag
Bayani't may dangal
Panulat ang pinairal ni Gat Jose Rizal

Kadugo, kakulay
kayumangging katulad ko
Idol ko si Rizal
si Rizal ang idol ko (x3)

Talino ang sandata nitong makata
Pintor, doktor at guro ng mga bata
Nasa Noli at nasa Fili
lumaban siya hanggang sa huli
Nasa Noli at nasa Fili
lumaban siya

Kaibigan, kapatid,
kababayan nating lahat
Idol ko si Rizal
si Rizal ang idol ko (x3)

Sana ako
Sana tayo
Tularan ng ating mundo
Tunay na bayani ang taong ito
Lumingon sa pinanggalingan
tumingin sa paparoonan
Mga bagong bayani ng ating bayan

Kadugo't kakulay
kayumanggi, kaibigan
Kapatid at gabay
Bayani ang titulo

Idol ko si Rizal
si Rizal ang idol ko
Idol ko si Jose
kasi siya'y bayani
Idol ko si Rizal

pinoy humor + hollywood movie myths sub cult

The movie "Gremlins" was not a big hit like, say, Titanic, Pirates of the Caribbean or Superman but it has a significant, invaluable contribution to Pinoy pop culture [gasgas na gasgas wisecracks category].

For an example, check out this everyday conversation between two Pinoys...
Person 1: Bad trip, umuulan nanaman!
Person 2: Paano tayo makakasplit dito. Dapat nagdala ako ng payong... buwiset!!!
Person 1: Takbuhin nalang natin. Tara na.
Person 2: HUWAG, MABABASA KA... BAKA DUMAMI KA!

For all of you who don't know the story of Gremlins here's one from IMDB...

"Sure, he's cute. Of course you can keep him. But heed these three warnings: Don't ever get him wet. Keep him away from bright light. And the most important thing, the one thing you must never forget: no matter how much he cries, no matter how much he begs . . . never, never feed him after midnight. With these mysterious instructions, young Billy Peltzer takes possession of his cuddly new pet. He gets a whole lot more than he bargained for."

THERE YOU HAVE IT. DON'T EVER GET HIM WET BECAUSE WHEN A MAGWIE TURNS INTO AN UGLY FEROCIOUS GREMLIN AND GETS WET, THE THING MULTIPLIES.

SO NEVER EVER BRAVE THE RAIN, DIVE INTO A POOL, TAKE A SHOWER. ETC.

BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANNA HEAR ANOTHER OVER-USED WISECRACK LIKE THIS: BAKA DUMAMI KA!!!
