Soundtracking House Craze Mix

I was never really a fan of House Music. But recently, even before the Avicii Craze - i got so into it that its my constant chillax earphones music in the office whenever i need to breathe in and out the stress of the workday. More so after Avicii coming over the country (yes, I missed his repupliq stint, boo!)  am all over the Internet searching for even the not so freshly mixed house music.

Verses: Makata Sa Sariling Wika

**1st Tagalog Entry Everrr..*

Nagsimula akong maglathala ng aking mga saloobin, hinanakit, pangarap at kaisipan noong ako ay asa highschool. Hindi ko inakalang ito ay magpapatuloy hanggang sa kasalukuyan kung kailan ako ay tapos na sa pag-aaral at ilang taon na rin namang nagtratrabaho at may sarili nang pamumuhay. Higit sa lahat, hindi ko inakalang ako ay makakasulat ng ilang berso sa wikang tagalog, bersong masaya ang tema at walang pinaghuhugutang hinanakit at lumbay.


Ang susunod na mga talata ay dulot ng isang pagsintang puno nang katatawanan, mga bagay na hindi pinlano at tunay na hindi inaasana. Ang titulo nito ay:

EPEKTO MO 0512

Pilit mang ipikit ang mga matang nagmimithi,

Kahit sa dilim, ngiti mo ay hindi mawaglit..

Mag-kunwari mang ikay hindi naiisip,

Hangang sa panaginip, ay ikaw ang ninanais..

Nakakapanibago, sa totoo lang, natatakot na ako.. Kahit sa hinagap ay hindi ko ikalang ganito ang iyong epekto..

Sa isang malayong ibayo ng mga mag-sinta at mapaglaro.. 

Sa isang lugar ng pangako, kung saan ang buhangin at alon ay parating nagtatagpo.. 

Inakala kong doon na ang huling yugto, yun pala ang kasunod noon ay tatlong tuldok..

Nakakapanibago, sa totoo lang, natatakot na ako.. Hindi ko inakalang, hindi ka lang puro loko.. 

Sa likod nga mga tawa at mga pagbibiro, mayroon palang paglambing na mukha namang totoo..

Hindi ako umaasa sa madaliang pag-ibig at sa pangako na handog ang kalawakan at mundo. 

Pero akoy magpapasalamat kung balang araw ay magkatoto -- na matawag kitang akin, at ako ay sa iyo..

Dumating man ang araw na iyon, o manatiling lamang epekto ng bisyo.. 

Akoy buong pusong makukuntento.. 

Kuntento dahil, lubusang napasaya moko, natuto akong mabuhay sa ngayon at di masyadong maging seryoso..

Maliban don, kalakip ng mga tawa at mga emoticon sa mensahe mo, dulot mo ang inspirasyon upang makasulat ako ng masaya at nakakapagpangiting tagalog na berso..

Random Thought:: He Can Turn your Mourning into Dancing

It is amazing how God can change all your fears to faith, all your doubts to security, all your worries to assurance -- and a sick, hurting, unsecured, tear-filled start of 2011 to a blessed, surprisingly awesome, blissful, filled of laughter, love and grace 2011's end <3 



*8 more days to go before my year-ender-photo-blog piece, God you are amazing. I feel so blessed :)

Word of the Week: SURREPTITIOUS

surreptitious •\ˌsər-əp-ˈti-shəs, ˌsə-rəp-, sə-ˌrep-\• adjective

When someone behaves in a surreptitious way, they're being secretive. They're doing something that they don't want to be seen doing.

While surreptitious means secret, it has the added sense of "sneaky" or "hidden."

You'll see surreptitious applied mostly to actions, rather than to things or ideas. We do things surreptitiously. The members of the secret society hold surreptitious meetings because, well, they're a secret society. I was very surreptitious in how I organized the surprise party: he never knew!

Origin of SURREPTITIOUS

Middle English, from Latin surrepticius, from surreptus, past participle of surripere to snatch secretly, from sub- + rapere to seize — more at rapid

First Known Use: 15th century

Jackie gets INKED :)

More than finding out that your friends are into Tattoo, it is the thrill of joining them in (and the honor of capturing snapshots of) their INKING experience that I enjoy the most.

For me, the concept and reality of getting INKED in this modern times have surpassed the stereotypical locked inmates mark or break-out rebellion. I would want to believe that society has accepted this as more than a fancy, but as a legit form of self-expression, of faith profession, as a reminder of the things you personally believe in, an imprint of art and its circling implications.

Jackie and I went to P&P Tattoo Shop last November and she got her first (and yes, second bit of ink) that eventful Friday.

Word(s) of the Week: UFC

UFC, which stands for Ultimate Fighting Championship is the largest mixed martial arts (MMA) production company in the world. It started/is being shown from the US and is being aired in most if not all countries around the world. UFC showcases different kinds of disciplines like Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Karate, Wrestling and is in observance of the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts. 


It currently has seven weight divisions -- and yes, though personally considered unfortunate  -- the Light Heavyweight division (205 lbs/93 kgs) now has Jone Jones reigning over it. Last December 11's fight declared Jones as the New UFC 140 Light Heavyweight Champ.


Don't worry, 100% girl in the house -- BUT YES,  I enjoy watching UFC and I am a Machida fan. Also, my insomnia is kicking in and I cannot help but doodle a few things about UFC and share some basics that might help you to at the very least understand if not appreciate what it's all about. 


UFC's Current Weight Divisions 

Weight class name	Upper limit
	in pounds (lb)	in kilograms (kg)
Flyweight	125	56.8
Bantamweight	135	61.2
Featherweight	145	65.8
Lightweight	155	70.3
Welterweight	170	77.1
Middleweight	185	83.9
Light Heavyweight	205	93.0
Heavyweight	265	120.2

The UFC stage is an eight-sided enclosure officially named "The Octagon." The UFC cage is an octagonal structure with walls of metal chain-link fence coated with black vinyl and a diameter of 32 ft (9.8 m), allowing 30 ft (9.1 m) of space from point to point. The fence is 5 ft 6 in to 5 ft 8 in height.


All competitors must fight in approved shorts, without shoes. Shirts, gis or long pants (including gi pants) are not allowed. Fighters must use approved light-weight open-fingered gloves, that include at least 1" of padding around the knuckles, (110 to 170 g / 4 to 6 ounces) that allow fingers to grab. These gloves enable fighters to punch with less risk of an injured or broken hand, while retaining the ability to grab and grapple

Matches usually end via:

• Submission: a fighter clearly taps the mat or his opponent, or verbally submits. 
• Knock-out: a fighter is put into a state of unconsciousness resulting from any legal strike.
• Technical Knockout (TKO): If the referee decides a fighter cannot continue, the fight is ruled as a technical knockout. 

A fight can also end in a technical decision, technical submission, disqualification, forfeit, technical draw, or no contest. The latter two outcomes have no winners.

Lyoto Carvalho Machida (Portuguese pronunciation: [liˈotu maˈʃidɐ]; born May 30, 1978) is aJapanese-Brazilian mixed martial artist from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil who fights as a light heavyweight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He is a former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and is currently ranked as the #6 light heavyweight fighter in the world by Sherdog,^[1]
