sabi ni giles, matalino daw akong mag-blog.
i'm not really sure what he meant by that. perhaps that the new euphemism for "excessive complaining about the most trivial things"? because that's all that i've been doing, haha.
but i really don't want to be thought of as just snarky and shallow, so i'm giving y'all a break. today, i'll be cheery and shallow (i wish i could do something about the latter part, but my powers aren't up to it. if you want intelligent and in-depth writing, let me know and i'll give you links to my favorite blogs.).
the chirp-chirp-chirpy version of me is brought to you by:
a) wasabi-flavored potato chips, ketchup-flavored potato chips, dill pickle-flavored potato chips, roasted red pepper-flavored potato chips, fries and gravy-flavored potato chips, roast chicken-flavored potato chips, sea salt and pepper-flavored potato chips, black pepper and lime-flavored potato chips...
george crum, wherever you are, you did good, man. you did good.
b) disney's "high school musical"
i don't know if i'll go as far as recommending this to everyone, because let's not forget that the target audience IS the tween set. it's pretty much a 98-minute cliche- and cheesefest. lucky for them, i love cheese. and that i thoroughly enjoyed that adorable boy (so much so that i almost felt like i should have "me = CHESTER" stamped on my forehead) and that really pretty girl (who's half-filipina, btw) who played the leads.
all those cookies and cream bars and cookie dough chip ice cream that i ate while watching didn't hurt, either.
c) and why did i have so much ice cream that day? haagen-dazs was on sale. that almost never happens.
d) jogging by the lake at the crack of dawn.
so this was a one-time, big-time deal (the lure of the bed and snuggly sheets proved to be too much for me the next morning), but my god, it's been so long since i've actually had blood pump through my veins (and arteries and capillaries) that it almost felt surreal. in a good way.
e) the clean, crisp country air and the charm of small towns.
f) seth's new friends: the pussycat dolls and all those artists who were part of ultraelectromagneticjam.
g) getting on YM (FINALLY) and chatting with two of my bestest friends, ganda and celeste.
h) the kindest e-mails and messages and posts from tito kiko, pam, and giles. you are all lovely people, thank you.
...
speaking of pam and giles, had i known that a couple of chocolate bars could evoke such love and warmth, i would have launched a campaign for everyone in the world to have a daily chocolate ration a long time ago.
we all know that chocolate makes everybody feel better. well, almost everybody, because there are a few people who *gasp* don't like it that much. but even if they don't love it, i'm pretty sure they like having some once in a while. and then everyone will enjoy the benefits of eating chocolates.
benefits like the happy feeling endorphins give you. consequently, you're less inclined to do harm unto others, yourself, and to the world. i mean, terrible psychotic tendencies aside, would you ever consider knifing your seatmate for having a haircut you don't like if you're full of joy? didn't think so.
also, some studies show that eating chocolates actually has some health benefits to it. add these health-boosting properties to the placebo effect your happy and contented mind makes you believe in, and dude, everybody's going to feel like they're in their best shape ever. and if we die of diseases brought about by all that fatty goodness, we're going to die happy anyway (another bonus point: because our happiness has made us kind and good, we're all going to heaven afterwards).
eventually, all these things could snowball into monumental changes. just imagine the possibilities: no more wars, no more poverty (because we'd all look after each other and make sure that wealth and services are equally distributed. in a non-communist way.) no more sickness, no more fights with annoying girls who accuse you of cutting in front of them in line. word of advice: the next time you find yourself jonesing for some frozen yogurt, don't stand there giggling and twirling your hair while ignoring the multiple inquiries about whether you are in line or not.
crap, that was a snarky comment, wasn't it? oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
...
i'm not defending myself or anything, but complainers have been pivotal in shaping our world as we know it. for one, can you imagine what our world would be like if that pesky customer hadn't repeatedly sent his "too thick, too soggy" fries back to george crum's kitchen? we all know that a life without potato chips is no life at all.
...
i'm fully aware that "you did good" is not exactly the most grammatically correct thing to say. but how many times have you actually heard somebody say, "you did well."?
plus, remember, this isn't an intelligent blog.
...
although, i DID tell (or remind) you about the history of the potato chip. giles, i hope i did you proud.
