What is wrong in getting all the sleep you wanted? Been working my ass off the past weeks and here comes Holy Week –– my chance if not to get away at least sleep till my heart’s delight.
But no…
For heaven’s sake, wala na kayong magagawa kung ‘T*ng #@$ mataba ako!?! (There’s nothing you can do if I’m f*ck#@$ fat!?! I just wanted to sleep… that’s what I can afford to escape and get away even for awhile…
Can anyone let me be? Even for just a week or a couple of days? Damn…
Is it because I am not rich or financially stable that’s why I can’t have my own time nor my own life? Why don’t have a right to rant over something yet my mom has a right to do so? Why can’t she do that to my brother, and only to me?
Maghiwalay na nga kayo kung maghihiwalay Separate for all I care… and don’t make us your children the reason for staying together!!! Geesh! My brothers have their own lives… well, their married, for one. And good for them, generally speaking!
If I’m f*ck#@$ bitch from the start, I would have a much miserable life in their eyes… no degree, no job, no money, unmarried with a child. That is what I THINK is a person with no life. But I am not like that, right now. How come it is I who doesn’t have a life?
I want peace… peace in a sense that I control my life. Peace where they listen to me, respect me and shut their mouths because ranting won’t work. It has been like that since I was born, why bother complain? Peace… where one’s life and time has a meaning and is useful.
Why can’t just be a truce… whatever that means…
Well then, I’d just be what I should have been –– minus the love, loyalty, extra effort, initiative and passion. I’d be the insensitive, selfish, deaf and blind bitch… for real!
Sorry for those who’ve known me and liked me (somehow) for being the “nice” one. I won’t be like that anymore.

Of Marvels and Superheroes
It was the usual work day, well, thinking it would be one as I dragged my butt off the bed. It was pretty unusual because we don’t usually open the television on a working not even on an early time like that.
But it was kind of nostalgic… yup! That’s the word I used… nostalgic.
A quite old cartoon I used to watch on a local channel sometime around my childhood days during weekends. Now, I was able to see it on one cable channel. Nostalgic… made me not work for a while. Savored the moment… then it hit me... again.
Damn! I’m f***ing old.
Oh well…
So I just thought, time and technology did really “impose” change. Or let’s consider it as innovation. As proof…
That my friends, is the first SUPERFRIENDS that I know of… remember? The Wonder Twins and their naughty monkey sidekick (which I forgot the name)… Aquaman (without the beard, mustache and lengthy hair).
But there’s this one which I believe is OLDER than what I showed above…
Aquaman “flying”, Robin as part of the team, Green Lantern look like Christopher Reeves in a mask, and HawkMAN.
And now…
This is where the JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA or just plain JLA of today came from. I first saw JLA in the US at Cartoon Network I think around
2001 (sorry I’m bad at dates). I always wait for it, watch it and its late-night reruns religiously. If I know I’d be missing it, I’d make sure our VCR will be programmed to record it. JLA showed each superhero a deeper persona, a more variant on the nationality if I may say so (i.e. an afro-American Green Lantern) and gender issues or equivalence (HawkGIRL). And a new character for me, Martian who I think took the place of Robin, was introduced in their pilot episode as the mere survivor of their “species” who have come to earth to warn humans about the other aliens who wiped out and devoured his planet. But ever since I got a day-job and came back to my “reality”, I never got to watch it that often. Until I found this…
Ok, unlimited may be associated to “extended”… in this photo, aside from seeing Aquaman in long hair, beard, mustache and ala-Captain Hook left hand (which by the way was an episode or two in JLA), you can see Supergirl and Batgirl (which I haven’t seen in ANY episodes yet, only in Warner Brothers website Gotham Girls series). I have watched a couple of episodes of this “extended” JLA and there are a lot and I mean A LOT of those superheroes which I haven’t even thought be included under the team. I’m not sure f my eyes have deceived me but I’m sure I’ve seen The Lone Ranger there. I’m sure its like crossovers on comics and God! love stories, romance and ala-soap opera love triangles… huh?
Ok, before I get lost and rant on storylines that I really find quite off track, as seen on above photos how evolution is embodied in another imagery. Call it improvement, innovation or adaptation… whatever it is, cartoon is cartoon. I love them since childhood. An escape perhaps or the reality we dwell but one thing surely it did to me that day… I went back ;)
The day was started in a weird but right way. I am somehow pleased. And a child in me was smiling –– happily.

No Day But Today...
Finally…
I get to blog again… (even for just tonight)
I get to watch CSI on a weeknight…
I get to watch RENT…
Finally… after 45 years… thank God it was shown here in my country. Sad to say, it was placed on ONE cinema only at a location where the richest of the land is expected to watch…
Are they expecting the rich people would watch it? My, my… something is wrong with the picture here. May be my VBF would help me with the explanation. He speaks very well than I do ;)
The previous weeks can be an epitome of hell literally by the scorching heat of summer and at work…
Hell because my mind is junked and my performance can be graded as an F, for fat and flunking. I'm a clutter and useless creature––that's how I perceived as seen by my colleagues. Sh*t!!!
… was a perfect time. I thought.
I watched it with my VBF, as planned months ago. I knew he may not like ALL of it, at least he is a man of his word. He stayed with me and watched it. (I am thankful that he is the one with me when I watched this film. Couldn't think of any better person other than him... Mwuah!)
Generally, it was a nice movie. My VBF told me that the cast in the movie (except for Rosario Dawson) were the original cast of RENT in Broadway! Most of the songs are incorporated in the movie. Some may have been removed but still the "feel" of the play is somehow still there. They voices penetrated me, giving me goosebumps! All except for Rosario Dawson (sorry, girl!) My VBF and I find her voice "thin". I've seen the play in Broadway, bought the original broadway CD soundtrack and played it over and over in my iPod. Unfortunately, Miss Dawson wasn't able to gve justice to Maureen.
I wanted to watch it AGAIN (given a chance). Perhaps this time, I’ll be alone to “savor” the essence of the movie. May be I should get myself a DVD copy of it... hmmm...
Roger, Mark, Tom, Mimi, Benny, Joanne, Maureen and Angel.
Artists, may it be the Bohemians (as they are called), filmmakers, stage/street performers and the like… they are found to be “weird” but they are just like anyone of us. Knowing them and understanding them individually or collectively, they have a piece in each one of us. I may sound bias, I know they are fictional characters but I believe they somehow exist somewhere out there…. somewhere within us.
“Forget regret, or life is yours to miss…”
“No other road, no other way… No day but today…”
RENT will always be near and dear to me.
