New Blog

Sorry Blogger, I was once loyal. I still love you, though.
Follow me here, this would be more updated: http://clairepcapul.wordpress.com/

Hello, 2012!

Hello, New Year! And here we go again with the fireworks, with the resolutions, with the jumps, with the foods, with the polka dots, with the flowery group messages.

I would like to say goodbye to 2011 with a smile. Yes you're almost filled with bad memories, bullshits, problems, negative vibes and irritating people but I know that all of these things is to prepare me for this year, 2012. And I would like to thank you for that. I know that if 2012 will be a bad year for me, I know that you have prepared me enough to face them. Also, thank you for letting me be able to meet some amazing people, letting me do some amazing things and I do not regret a single incident that happened in your year. It is also acceptable that I have not yet found the love of my life in your year. I know that I'm not yet ready. Thank you for everything.

And now I would like to welcome 2012 with a big hug! I will welcome every blessing and problem that you bring and that you are about ti give me. I would gladly accept all the challenges that I would experience in your year. This year would be a big one! Thesis defense and Graduation Day! Oh how I am really excited for this year!I hope that you will be good and let me find a job that I will embrace. I hope that you will be good, awesome, impressive, amazing, stoned, hyped, and all other relevant adjectives there is.

So how does my January 1, 2012 goes? I was irritated because it was just 11:45 of Dec 31 2011 and there are already many people who are making noises. "KJ" me anytime you want but I was really irritated. I'm sorry. Hihi. I just hope that our life would be like in the movies, may countdown kapag mag nu new year na. So that our new year celebration would be a seshal one. :-)

There are the fireworks, the many foods, polka dots attire, circle shaped fruits, the jumps, the pictures, the drunkards, the celebration and all. All in all, it was just the same new year celebration, the same awesome new year celebration.

Also, 2012, I trust in you. I know that this is not the end of the world. Which reminds me to say 'Fuck you' to those playing Jay Sean's 2012. I mean, bitches, listen to the fucking lyrics okay? My dad was singing it earlier and I asked him to stop and he stopped. Maybe he understood my message.

That's all for my 1st blog of 2012. Cheers!
Happy New Year! May you have a prosperous one. :)

On Lumayo Ka nga sa Akin

Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin by Bob Ong
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pinaka gusto ko na yatang libro ni Bob Ong. Mula sa cover hanggang sa back cover. Precious heart romances ang peg.


Pinakita dito yung mga stereotype shits sa mga pinoy movies. Kung paanong dapat may mga bandidong papatay sa bida pero yung bida hindi mapatay patay kahit madaming bandido. Kung paanong may mga lasenggero dapat sa kanto para manyakin yung leading lady at makikipagsuntukan ang bida. Kung paanong mas malupet pa ang special effects sa horror kesa sa storya mismo. Kung paanong O.A umarte ang mga nasa horror para madala naman ang eksena kasi nga pangit ang storya. Kung paanong pang witch ang tawa ng kontrabida. Kung paanong laging namamaltrato ang babaeng bida dahil may minahal na mayaman. King paanong langit ang isa at lupa ang isa.


Kung panong irelevant naman ang products sa eksena pero ipapakita talaga kasi sponsors sila. "Nalapa na ng komersyalismo ang sining. Kaya utot na lang nito ang nilalanghap natin ngayon."


Pinakitang ang dami daming nangyayari sa eksena pero kailangan talagang may manuting asal na maipapakita. "Nilagyan lang ng konting moral lesson ang pelikula para hindi maging ganap na basura."


Pinakita rin na sa Comedy, kailangang may malalait o masasaktan para funny. Na sa Horror, kailangang magaganda ang visuals. "Ang comedy natin, puro slapstick. Ang horror natin, puro visual. I'm sensing a pattern here..." At sa sopa operas, kailangang may love triangle. Hihi.


Tapos syempre, magtatapos sa happy ending. Kasi gusto daw ng produce ng feel good ending. True enough, eto naman ang gusto ng karamihan sa mga Pilipino e. Filipinos are naturally happy nga kasi diba? Haha. Minsan lang magka bet ang bad vibes dito. Parang di naman.


"Ubos na ang dalawang oras. Anuman ang nangyari, automatic happy ending tayo."


Ganda! Award!

On The diary of a young girl

The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Remarkably good book. This book inspires me to face tomorrow and every challenge or boredom that is within that tomorrow.

It shows that one can find love admist of war, that one can still be happy though you are hiding in a secret place. Anne Frank here supports Rihanna in saying that "We found love in a hopeless place."

Too bad that  she died in a young age, but at least she had managed to understand things better, see things clearly and be mature & grow up.

It is nice that Anne Frank can keep a journal without it being seen by her parents. I wonder what would happen if her parents saw that journal like my parents has seen mine before - which is the reason why I am not keeping one now.

It is also nice that Anne's wish to live even after death is fulfilled by having a Anne Frank foundation and also by her diary being published.

She sure can organize and write her thoughts well. I'm pretty sure that if ever she lives longer, she would be a great writer or a remarkable journalist.

On Lolita

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I found the book surprisingly boring. Seriously, it did, big time bores me. I at first did not know the plot, I just heard that this is a "must-read" so I bought it and excitedly read it. And then boom, it bores me to death. I literally skipped pages. I'm sorry.

But all in all, I think it's a good book. I love the story! If my rating of this book would just be based on the plot of the story and characters, I might give this a 5 out of 5, but because of the boring execution of story, and my love-hate relationship with the characters, here's a 3.

Lolita if I may say is such a bitch at an early age. She even say in the book "I'm so sorry I cheated so much, but that's the way things are." OH NO YOU DIDN'T! That part is really heartbreaking. I'm currently having a love-hate relationship with Lo's character right now.

Same as my feelings for Lo, I am also having a love-hate relationship with Humbert. I think it is really nice that you are that in love with a person and that you will do anything for that person. But I think being too much in love and obsessed and too much under that person is really BAD.

I love the story. But no joke, it bores me to death.

On Aleph

Aleph by Mark Bramhall (Narrator) Paulo Coelho
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The book made me realize that one can really love two different person at a time. You can love another one even if you're committed with someone without being called a womanizer or anything that you can relate to that.


Paulo Coelho's Aleph is about Paulo having met a woman he loved 500 years ago, in the current time wherein he is 59 years old and the girl is 21 years old. He met the girl, Hilal, again in a different time, the now, where in Paulo is already stabled with his wife.


Paulo admitted that he loves Hilal but then he loves his wife. It's just nice that he embraces the fact that he's now with the woman he loved 500 years ago bu then he didn't leave his wife because he's committed to her and because he really loves her.


I don't know, I really love the book. Every Paulo Coelho book makes me don't wanna stop reading. Seriously.

On Snuff

Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

At first, I thought I was just reading porn. Yes, reading, not watching which makes this book a unique one. It's my first time to encounter a book where in porn making is illustrated.

I thought it was just about porn, about a lady trying to be legendary by having sex with 600 men in a day, beating other records.

But Chuck Palahniuk is good enough to put a twist that a boy is one of the 600 males to have sex with the porn star, Cassie Wright, and that boy claims himself as Cassie's son.

The boy, #72, said that he does not want to have sex with her birth mother and that he just want to give his mom a new life. He just want to get his mother out of that life.

And Palahniuk is better enough to put another twist that it turns out that #72 is not Cassie's child that her child is a girl and that she is just saying that its a boy.

Another twist, a big one, is that Cassie's Personal-Assistant-ish Shiela, was her birth child and she knows that since she first lay her eyes on her.

Cassie has been given poison and she realize this that she said to her daughter that she knows she's her child and that she wants to give her another life.

It turns out that she's making all the money so that her daughter would be rich. She knows she'll die one day and that she wants to ensure her daughters future.

I like the twists of the book. I like how Palahniuk makes your mind think that this is what's happening and all of a sudden, changes everything. A must read!

True story

Photo from Tumblr

Darling,

A friend of mine - whom I call darling - who don't usually blog her feelings surprised me on her recent post about a guy who just broke her heart. Well I am aware that there is this new "someone" in her life and that she is happy. Then one day she began tweeting some i-am-heartbroken-tweets on Twitter and it breaks my heart. So as a friend, I'm there to message her saying that everything is okay and stuffs.

She does not have the time or maybe she don't want to make kwento. But me being likas na chismosa and her, posting the story in her blog, I'm down to my conclusion that the guy is ... sorry darling but he's a asshole.

Sinong matinong lalake ang magpapaasa, magiging sweet sayo tapos kapag may dumating na isa sasabihin mo lang na 'matagal mo na siyang gusto' at feeling mo walang ibang nasasaktan. Sinong matinog lalake ang gumagawa non? Putangina.

That is so wrong. Guys, if you like a girl, before making sweet gestures and making landi to that girl, make sure you have enough balls to stand up for that shit. Kasi putangina, kung hindi mo kaya manindigan, huwag kang makipaglandian. Pakyu ka pala e.

If you'll make landi, be sure na sa isa lang. And if that person is making landi back at you, alam mo na, may feelings na yan. Wag ka na mag inaso na kapag may dumating na bago aayaw ka na sa isa. Gago ba you? Hindi ito laro okay. Bawal reservations. Bawal substitution.

Mga lalake talaga o. Kuplikado ng buhay e. Hindi uubra sa buhay yung "Sana dalawa ang puso ko" okay? Isa lang yan and deal with it. Makuntento ka. Guys, okay lang lumandi pero know your limits naman. Wag naman sobra. At kung lalandi man, alam mo dapat yung mga kaakibat ng paglalandi niyo. Kaloka.

At darling, wala na akong message sa'yo. Na comment ko na dun sa post mo. Sorry for this, kailangan ko lang din ilabas nararamdaman ko. Haha! I love you. Smile!
