My First Music Video

This is the first music video I directed way back in college. :)

The Only Demon I Want to Become

This an episode from my all-time favorite anime, Yu Yu Hakusho, or Ghost Fighter in our country. Since I was a child, I became fan of this cartoon series. Last year, I discovered that this anime has an english version in youtube, and it made me appreciate it more.

Kurama. In his human form as Suichi Minamino.

Yoko Kurama. The Demon form of Kurama
(Source: http://www.zerochan.net/53373)

My favorite character in the series is Kurama, or Dennis in Filipino. He was a legendary demon bandit in the demon world, until he was badly hit by a foe. In his desperation, he hid himself in the human world as a son of a human. His plan is that after he regained his demon energy, he'll immediately go back to his world. But then, his plan did not materialized, because he learned to live and to love like a human, and that made him hard to leave his life as Suichi.

I think Kurama's character has similarities with mine. We're both cautious, we plan 3 steps ahead in any incident. We both examine and observe the situation first, before we take action.

We have a split personality disorder, wherein half of our personality is rude, but intellegent, and the other is a person that has deep compassion with the ones we love.

In my solitude, I always find myself imagining that I'm Kurama. In some ways, I already patterned my behavior to Kurama's. That's how big the impact of this character and anime to my life.

Remember Me this Way

I was browsing some channels on the television, when I saw this video on a local music channel. It made me remember one of my childhood favorite, Casper. Also, upon reading the lyrics, I think it's suited in what's happening between me and one of my friend.

"I know you can't stay
A part of you will never ever go away
Your heart will stay"

 "If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday

Remember me this way" 

 "And I won't ever leave
As long as you believe
You just believe"

btw, this is my first video here. :)

A NEVER-ALONE WEEKEND

March 25, 26, and 27, 2011

Friday

My friends from my work place, which also happened to be my students, set a sort of a closing party in Pau’s place. Kat and the rest of the gang went first in the location to set-up the place, while I and Ma’am Chris followed. On our way, we taught of playing a prank on Kat and company.

We told them that Ma’am Chris had an accident in Balibago. They believe us in an instant and got worried for us. Hahaha

When we arrived at Pau’s place, we immediately dealt the cards and start playing Russian Poker. Damn, how I missed playing this game with these guys. We took a break for a while to take a sumptuous dinner prepared by Pau’s mom.

Then after, we headed back in the veranda to continue playing and drinking as well. As usual, we tripped on Choi because he wanted to go home early. We bargained with him until we reached 1:00am. Gladly, no one got really wasted.

Good thing there’s a 24-hour bakery near Pau’s home, that’s why we decided to spend our remaining budget for our drinks to buy a midnight snack. The tripping and fun continued while we’re eating our midnight snack and waiting for a jeepney to pass by.

Fortunately, all of us reached home safely.

Saturday

My cousin Mimi decided to sleepover in our house because my parents are out of town for a conference. We first met at a mall near by for her to help me shop for my personal things and eat cali maki as well.

In the supermarket, we bought our favorite childhood treats. When we’re about to go home, in the foot bridge of the mall, we decided to eat those treats that we bought. While eating the biscuits and chocolates, we randomly thought of our childhood memories together.

When we arrived home, we watch two good movies in a local cable channel. Then after, we scanned my year book and make fun of my batch mates. Mean? No, we’re just having fun.

Sunday

A week before this day, I and Sid, set up a coffee date for our group. At last, this day came to reality.

We were supposed to meet up at 2pm, but as far as I know, my good friends don’t follow the meet-up time often. That’s why I took my time bathing, and I even dropped-by a book store to buy Sarah’s birthday card.

As usual, we were late, and only less than half of our group is just present. But then again, a late start and a failed attendance are not reasons for us not to have fun.

We started updating each other in the changes that we went through in the passed months, and we also looked back our best and worst college days together. We spent almost 2 hours in the coffee shop for updates alone. It only means that I’m with the people whom I shared a lot of memories in my college days.

After the coffee date, we went to a nearby mall to maximize our time together; we even canvassed a gift for our dear God daughter Hailey.

As much as we want to spend more time together, but we still work for tomorrow and got no more money left. That’s why we decided to go home.

Certainly, this is one of the most memorable weekends that I had. :)

A PIECE OF MY CHILDHOOD

My beginning is very humble. In fact, I was only born in our nipa hut, and not like my brothers and sister who were born in the hospital, who where attended by a doctor.

Back in my childhood, I lived a very simple life. My mom works abroad as a nanny, while my father teaches a technical course in a technical institution. We live in a nippa hut with one bedroom. My parents, my brother and I share the same bed every night. We even have to set a mosquito net because our windows where not screened.

We live in a compound with my relatives, which triggered my closeness to my playmates and my cousins as well. As I remember, my favorite time of the year was in summer, where I spend the whole day on our street, playing different sorts of games with our neighbors. That’s unless my grandma will not force me to take my afternoon nap. Me and my brother won’t even go home, unless my mom and grandma call us for dinner.

When my father arrives at home from work, me and my brother always ass a peso to buy corn chips in the near by retail store, or if lucky, five peso will be given to us, enough to buy a corn chip and a soda.

Life was simple, but then it doesn’t mean that it was less filled with fun.

I'm the baby in the stroller, and the house behind is our Nipa Home :)

Life with Quintoplets!

I am in my work place when I decided to search and read on different blogspots, then I found this cute one that entails the life of a couple with quintoplets. :)

THE END WILL BE NEAR

New blog design! And perhaps this will be the last blog design for this blog, because as I can see, the end is near for "The Five-Pointed Perspective". :(

It's been about 5 months since I've started blogging. And I'm very thankful that I discovered this phenomenal internet activity. It gave me the chance to enhance my writing skills, and had my life and thoughts documented. In this space, I'm number 1, I'm the star, and I have freedom.

When I started to create my blogger account, I thought that I can't pursue it. And now here am I, still enjoying to update its entry.


In the five-month existence of my blog, it under went three major blog banners. Here are my blog's former banners:

Again and again, change will always be inevetable. I'm saying goodbye to my "The Five-Pointed Perspective" blog. I'm still thinking of it, and I'm halfway through in my decision to end it.

Change is coming... "II" soon. :)

MY 24 LITTLE BROTHERS FROM OTHER WOMBS



4-Alpha



They are the 4-Alpha, they were the first group who gave me challenges in my job. I’ve handled their social science subjects, and had been their class adviser for two semesters.

As their section implies, they are on their 4^th year, meaning, they are the oldest among the students in the institution I’m working for. We only have a small age discrepancy which made me feared that they won’t respect me as compare to an individual that is way older than them, but I was wrong. Respect is not something to bargain with them.

My leadership skills were tested with them. As their class adviser, I am obliged to mentor them and reprimand those wrong actions that they do. Luckily, they made it easy for me.

They are outspoken, oftentimes, they are misunderstood by people, especially the administration. I always juggle their moods with the administration; I must keep up with them, and also with the administration. That’s the part where I am always caught in the middle.

In totality, they made my stay in my job worthwhile. With them, I always caught myself throwing away my own rule book, alongside with discovering sides of me that I didn’t know that exist. Having them is like having 24 little brothers from other wombs

Good luck, Fly High, and Congratulations in advance!

THE BEST I NEVER HAD

Me and Pam :) 03-12-11

Last Saturday, I had a coffee date with one of the dearest person to me. Pam. J She was my classmate for 4 years in college. Also, she captured my heart at certain point in time.

We were just acquaintances then. I got intimidated by her presence because of her looks, that’s why I stayed out of her way. Our story started way back in our 3^rd year college, when we worked together in a major class requirement. She spilled to me that she had a crush on me back in our 1^st year. Cliché as it is, and the rest was history.

Well, did we have a relationship? Both of us don’t know what really happened between us, but I think we both know that we became special to each other before, and proud to say, even now.

She is the only girl so far that kept me wanting for more. She has a complex attitude that no one can predict. In short, the time when I was with her is like a roller coaster ride, thrilling and at the same time, fun.

We shared lots of happy moments, coffee dates, some movie dates, and I even had my two consecutive birthdays with her. If not the most, she is one of the most thoughtful person I knew. Random letters, unexpected gifts, lollipops and all that, are what I miss about her.

Assuming that my calculations are correct, our untagged relationship lasted for about a year and a couple of months. We don’t know why it ended, that’s alright, because we don’t even know why it started. It’s not our busy schedule, nor incompatibilities that hindered our relationship from getting into the next level. I guess it’s because, both of us decided not to pursue it. Why? Well, she has her reasons, fair enough, I have mine, and we’ll just keep it that way.

So far, she’s the best I never have or had. But nonetheless, I have no regrets on my choices not to fight for something that's not there. True enough, we had ended that chapter in our lives, but that ending just flipped a new page for us, and that’s what we both call “friendship”, a true and lasting “friendship”. We're both happy and better this way. More coffee dates for us! J



IT'S US

THE WORLD I KNOW

Let’s escape out of this chaotic world

Where we’ve grew tired of this orthodoxy

Just take my hand

And we’ll cross over the galaxy

There is this world I know

Where gravity is our best friend

There is nothing to keep us grounded

We’ll float until like there’s no end

There is this world I know

Where it inhabits just you and me

Nothing is between us

Not even the stars the moon and the sea

There is this world I know

Where colors swarm

There’s no place for sadness

There, we will always feel warm

The world I know

Is just but a fantasy

But if you come with me

We’ll take over, and make it a reality

ALT+F4 or F5

           In the keyboard of a computer, the ALT and F4 key command is to shut down the computer, while F5 is to refresh.

These past few days, I’ve been feeling down. I always feel bored and alone. I think I’m not anymore efficient in my job, or either happy with it. Plus, I’m bound to loose a friend.

I’m not a people person, instead of fearing that personality of mine in my job, I treated it as challenge to conquer. At the first month of me being in the Marketing Department, I find excitement in my job. Career talks, and executive meetings made me love my job more.

Since the Marketing season is about to finish, I don't have a lot to do in the office anymore. If there’s no internet connection or plants vs. zombies application in my computer, I’ve totally freaked-out. I feel bored and inefficient almost all the time. Sometimes, I feel like I want to quite this less challenging job. I miss being stressed, I miss being busy and I miss being productive.

Also, the atmosphere in the office is making me sick. Gossips are all around the place. Officemates talking behind their backs and corruption in small scales; these can kill me right away. I also feel guilty of the gossips that swarm our institution, because I also expose myself to the hearsay of my office mates. I think this is not the healthy environment for a work place, plus the fact that your superiors are not good enough in their own post.

Sooner or later, I’ll be loosing a friend. I’m talking about one of the closest friend that I have. Now that’s double whammy for me, weeks ago, I loose one of my dearest friend, and now, the threat of loosing another is on its way to me.

Sometimes I just want to go back to scratch. Delete all my memories and go back to zero. In that way, I might as well forget all the negativities around me. I want to go away, I mean very far away, and have my escape from all of these things that are happening to me.

How I wish refreshing or quitting is just as easy as pressing ALT+F4 or F5 in the computer keyboard.

THE BEST DATE WITH THE BEST FRIEND

March 4, 2011

Puhr Forever :)

Since we’ve heard the news about the releasing of our year book, I, and my good friend Miles, immediately set a date so that we can get ours.

We met around 1:30pm in SM Clark where she arrived earlier than me. After some short conversations, we headed to our Alma Mater to get our year book and to watch a stage play as well.

On our way to the MMC office at our previous school, memories of college flashed back. Then I realized, that college, so far, I the best experience of my life. Atlas! We have our year book with us.

After we got our year book, we went to the auditorium for a stage play. This destroyed my mood. An unfriendly atmosphere welcomed us, or should I say unwelcome us. Nah. No further details. I don’t want to remember that scene anymore.

It was only after the first half of the play when we decided to leave for us to eat. We arrived at the coffee shop at around 4:00pm. There, we started to scan every batch mates we have in the year book, and reminisce every memories we had with them when were still in school. We laugh until our stomachs ached.

After spending almost 2 and a half hour in the coffee shop, we went to a mall for a pair of shoes for office.  There again, we had a great time transacting with the salesmen. Miles even conducted a survey for my top 2 choices of shoe design. That was hilarious!

After the shoe hunt, I thought we would be going home, but instead, we went to a pearl shake shop for more conversation and laughter, and then, we went straight home.

Miles is definitely one of the best friends I’ve got. We find joy in every single thing we see and do. With her, laughing and being happy almost all the time is easy. When we’re together, it’s like we own the world. Ok, enough, she might absorb this and makes her head swell. Hahaha . This is certainly one of our dates that should be remembered. I love you Puhr!

THE DIARY OF A SINGLE FRIEND

Start: March 5, 2011-5:55pm

This entry is a dream blog. It’s been a long time when I’ve tried to write it but it seemed that I don’t have enough inspiration to write such an article. Until this afternoon, I woke up from a series of bad dreams about me being single. And now, here I am, on our terrace and in front of my laptop, trying to pursue this write-up.

I’m single. I don’t have any hook-ups or string attached. If you’ll ask me if it’s my choice or by chance, I’ll answer you… it’s both.

WHY AM I STILL SINGLE?

By chance, I’m not a fan of destiny or in any fairytale, but if any case that I am, perhaps this time, I believe that my partner is still stuck in traffic or had seem to lose her way in to my arms.

By choice, I’ve been in to four relationships from this day, but none of them were quite a success, if one is, perhaps I’ll not be writing this entry at all. If handling a relationship is an examination, maybe I’ll have a grade of “F’ or failed.

I’m not a good handler of a relationship. Sometimes I’m compulsive. I often tend to think that in a relationship, it must always be rainbows and butterflies. If along the way, we were bumped by a hump. Then I give up and screw everything.

One of the reasons why I still choose to be single is because of my age. I’m only 21 to date. I always think that there are still plenty of possibilities that may come in my way. But till when?

SUNNY DAYS OF A SINGLE

Being single is not only misery, often times, I find it fun than being in a relationship. Right now, I’m earning money . I have the money to spend it on my own personal stuffs. I can also help my family in our daily expenses.

Plus, I can spend time more with my friends. Being always there if they need me, they’ll just sms me then in a snap. I’ll be there for them.

In short, being single makes me focus more on myself, on my friends and on my family.

MELANCHOLY OF A SINGLE

And now, we are on the part where I hate to write the most.

Yes, I’m good friend, perhaps a best friend my friends would describe me. It is because I’m always there for them. But there are these instances where I need to hang-out with them, but they are not available, because they are with their partners.

I always feel bad that in our group, I’m one of the few singles that are still single up to now. I always feel envious when we are in a coffee date and have nothing to share with my love life, while them, they always share the happiness of being in love in a commitment. I’m happy for them, but I feel sad for my self.

There are times that I think that they only need me when they are in trouble. Rare of my friends would ask me out for a simple conversation, which I always do for them. If they’re not broken hearted, they won’t even remember that I’m still here. If they are happy in their relationships, even a reply on my sms seemed to be a huge favor from them.

Let’s make it short, since I’m single, they’re one of my priorities, but since they’re not, I’m always an option, a rebound for broken hearted friends. Well I think that’s the way it is.

WHAT REALLY A SINGLE FRIEND FEELS

This may sound desperate but I think I’m not happy anymore. Being always there for my friends, but seldom are there for you. It’s not their fault that I’m single right now, but I think that’s reality, a bitter and cruel reality of being single.

I’m a fickle minded person, trust me, one hour after I finish this entry, I’m back to being a good friend again.

PLANS OF A SINGLE FRIEND

For now, anything goes, I might as well wish that my partner will find its way to my arms, or perhaps be resilient in the relationship I encounter so that one day, a successful relationship will be into my possession.

Right now, I have a dear friend, a friend that perhaps is the closest to my heart. That friend knows everything about me. I don’t know if we call it dating, but we always hang-out every time we’re available.

Every moment we spent together, I am myself. Every time I’m with that friend, I feel home. Sometimes, I feel that I already love her. At one point in time; I felt that I am prioritized.

But I don’t know what’s happening these past few days. Something’s changed. It’s feels like we’re far from each other. We don’t see each other as often, and that makes me feel sad and lonely. Sometimes I want to take the risk of telling her how I really feel, but this time, I don’t really know what to do.

I want to be with her almost every time, and that seldom happened in my past relationship. But now, it seemed years of us being apart. I tried to reach her but I only receive empty signals. I don’t know what’s wrong, but one thing is for sure, that I miss her and her company

That’s the way life is, people don’t change, actually their priorities do. Optimistic as I am, that one day, I’ll wake up, get excited to get my phone and read a message saying “baby, good morning, eat your break fast”. That someday, someone will always be there for me, because I am the priority.

Finished: March 5, 2011-6:45 pm

Some Good Friends and a Bad Drink

Yesterday, we celebrated the birthday of Ma'am Aileen in the staff house of Kuya Ramil. We are only few in the group, but that's not a reason to hinder the fun. Indeed, it was really a night to remember.

So far, this is my worst drinking. I even swore not to drink again. After we finished 9 bottles of extra large and extra strong beer... Here comes Headache, forced vomiting....ugh! GET ME OUT OF HERE. :(

Our Snack: Corned Tuna, Chips and, Instant Noodles

Malit: Bringing her chair.

Me and Malit

Some Good Friends



Say What? Hahahahaha
