Beckys on Binibining Pilipinas-Universe next year? Why not?

Filipinos really love humor.

As the 2011 Miss Universe Pageant came to a conclusion (Ms. Angola being crowned Miss Universe 2011), another viral video were made by the *drum roll* BECKYS.  These gay people just love to make people laugh hard by making spoofs of beauty pageants.

Their latest? Ms. Shamcey Supsup's Q&A portion:




I just ROFL when I watched this one. Though, I didn't understand a single word the two beckys had spoken. Haha. (Becky, by the way, is the Filipino slang word for bakla, or gay).



Anyway, watching this video made me reminisce our high school kalokohan.

Michaela Soriano

Jessamimi Muntinlupa

Photos stolen from my former classmate's Facebook account. Heh.

These are two of my guy classmates during high school. Yes, they are guys, I have no doubt about that. And, of course, those names are not their real names. So why were they dressed like that?

One boring Saturday afternoon in 2008, a group of kids were staying inside their classmate's (Michaela's) house. They were so tired during that time because they were practicing their Jingle-and-Rap piece the whole morning. One of them played the song Lady Marmalde on the CD player. A few moments later, the boys in the group started to make their own "Fashion Show." They dressed up their selves using Michaela's sister's clothes and acted like gays. Then someone from the group shouted, "And the winner is..." POOF!!! Another idea was created to ease their boredom! MS. CHUVA EK-EK 2008 PAGEANT was born! (There were actually four of the boys who joined that made-up pageant. I just can't find photos of the other two.)

'Twas really just a spur of the moment. Haha. Since then, I started to believe that bored minds can create the most creative ideas! :)

My favorite part of that pageant? The question and answer portion:

Question: If you were given a chance to become a woman, who do you want to be and why?

 Jessamimi Muntinlupa: Mariko Ogawa (our 5'5" plump classmate). Why? Because she is BIG!

Michaela Soriano: Jamaica Chavez (our boyish classmate). Why? Because I want to have muscles.

Antonette Carolina: Virgin Mary. Because I'm a virgin.

Jana Marca Remandabana: Julie Dongon (our classmate with huge frontal teeth). Why? Just look at her teeth!

Antonette Carolina won the pageant.

And, no, there was no swimsuit competition.

Books again?!?

My original plan to go to SMX yesterday for the Visprint's WIT was kinda demoted to going to SM Fairview by myself. Oh, such a lonely girl I am! (Papa didn't allow me to go to SMX by myself, but he doesn't want to go with me. Most of my friends were busy, if not, they haven't replied to me.)

I really had nothing to do there, I just wanna go out of the house and have time to be lax. So I just brought my laptop and took advantage of the free Wi-Fi. Spammed my other blogspot with some poems, customized this and that's theme, chatted with elementary school friends over Facebook, read some blogs. Until my laptop's battery got drained. Heh.

Since I can't use my laptop anymore, I visited my favorite store in SM: Booksale. (Call me a geek.) After about two hours rummaging through the shelves, I found some interesting books.

All these for less than P200

• Kathleen O'neal Gear & Michael Gear's The Visitant
• "a novel of terrifying power about madness and murder eight hundred years ago."
• Dean Koontz's False Memory
• My first Dean Koontz novel. I've been seeing his works around Booksale since God-knows-when but I haven't picked up a single book of his until now. This one's about the fear of one's own self, or autophobia.
• Sara Hoskinson Frommer's Murder and Sullivan
• About a murder on the opening night of a theater production. A detective investigating this staged death.
• Keith Ablow's Denial
• "A series of grisly murders has forensic psychiatrist Frank Clevenger on the case of a lifetime and the flight of his life against a brutal killer with a horrific trademark."
• John Lescroart's Nothing But the Truth
• An attorney's hunt for the true killer of his wife's friend, so that he can save his wife from being convicted of protecting an accused killer.
• Willima Coughlin's The Stalking Man
• Two men's hunt for the serial killer of beautiful women.
• Malcom Rose's Traces: Roll Call
• My fourth Malcom Rose novel (though my first two were also a part of the Traces series), and third book of the Traces series. 16-year old Forensic Investigator Luke Harding is hot on the trail of a serial killer who uses weapons that leave no trace behind. The murderer is killing women who have only one thing in common - the same name, Emily Wonder.
• Benjamin Black's The Silver Swan
• The sequel of Christine Falls. (I haven't read Christine Falls yet. I've seen one in Booksale's branch in Robinson's Mall Novaliches but I didn't buy it at the time 'cause I did not have enough money. But I find the story really interesting.)

Why're most of these are in the detective genre? Haha. I'm not a fan of detective stories, eh. But I found them interesting.

I will not be able to start reading any of these, though. For one, I found Frankenstein on my shelf, which I bought some years ago, and I've decided to finish it before the final exams week. Also, I'm kinda busy with school works 'cause the sem's almost over, and professors are piling huge junks of requirements for completion. I will have to wait until the semestral break to start reading these. Or maybe until the Holiday break. Or maybe until the summer break.

See Eireen Smile

I was browsing through Eireen's long-forgotten blog last night (for the nth time).

Eireen, by the way, is my high school friend. She was our class's poet during our junior and senior year. Her talent in poetry was 'discovered' when our English III teacher made us do numerous poems for the whole third grading period during that year. She was the one who'd always get the highest score, no matter what type of poem our teacher required us to write. There was actually a time when I envied her ('coz I was the one who took Creative Writing classes for two years, yet she beat me! Wtf!).

Anyway, this is a sample from Eireen:


Masked Love
by: Eireen Camille See Linang

I am a stalker.

A stalker, not a joker.

A stalker, who tries to follow you wherever, whoever.

A stalker who hides whenever you look back.

A stalker  who gaits whenever you’re with her,

A stalker who waits until the dark sets over,

A stalker who is obsessed to talk to you,

A stalker who only see is your face in any view.

A stalker who  tries to be in gaiety whenever you’re with somebody,

A stalker who smiles whenever you’re happy,

A stalker who cries whenever you’re sad,

and a stalker who is proud whenever you lend a hand.

I am a stalker.

A stalker, not a joker.

A stalker, who tries to follow you wherever, whoever.

I am a stalker and a lover.

I guess.

I kinda miss her and her poems...

She's now taking up Information Technology Education at PNU. I wonder if she still writes. Gonna ask her on our barkada 'reunion'.

Seriously?

Manny Pacquiao for vice-president?

"Anyone can be the vice-president of the Philippines."


Oh please. Yes, anyone CAN, but not everyone is deserving to be.

We have lots of 'geniuses' inside our country's political arena. I'd rather put my two cents on those veterans on politics than on Pacquiao.

Just hoping the Filipino masses won't root for him to be this forsaken nation's VP. Pff.

Hey ya!

It's been quite a while since I've updated this blog.

There was one anon who asked me on my Tumblr why I don't use English there. Little did he/she know that I have this blog, on which I use English.

Oh well. I don't even know why I made this one. For the sake of having an English blog, maybe? Beh.
