have you ever been in love?. . .

have you ever been in love?

horrible isn't it? it makes you so vulnerable. . it opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. . you build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life. .you give them a piece of you. . they didn't ask for it. . they did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. .

love takes hostages. .
it gets inside you. .

it eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. .

it hurts. .
not just in the imagination. .
not just in the mind. .
it's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. .

i hate love . . .

A B N K K B S N P L Ko?!
Mga Kwentong Chalk ni Bob Ong

by Bob Ong

Bakit namamalo si Miss Uyehara?
May mga notebook bang lumilipad?
Bakit masakit sa ulo ang Mafhemafics?
Ano ang lihim sa likod ng pagkakaibigan nila Pepe at Tagpi?
Bakit may mga taong nakapikit sa litrato?
Masarap ba ang Africhado?
Sino si Tigang?
Bakit may mga classroom na kulang ang upuan?
Masama bang mag-isip nang malalim habang naglalakad?
Saan ang Ganges River sa Pilipinas?
Bakit may mga umaakyat ng overpass pero hindi tumatawid?
Sino ang webmaster ng bobongpinoy sa Internet?  
 
"Nakita ko yung sarili ko dun sa libro mo. Para na rin akong tanga kasi tawa ako nang tawa na mag-isa dun sa kwarto ko habang nagbabasa… Salamat ng marami sa pagmumulat mo saming kabataan na kahit high school pa lang kami ay malaman na namin ang paghihirap ng pag-aaral. Sana ay ipagpatuloy mo pa ito…." — Arianne Angela Solis, Tinig.Com
 
"The language is simple and conversational. What makes the book such a hit is that it’s reality. The scenes hit so close to home that they seem to jump out of the pages. Anyone, absolutely anyone, from your yaya who only finished first grade to your lolo who became a lawyer, can relate to his stories… If you’re Filipino, if you want a good laugh, if you’ve ever set foot in school, if you’ve heard of school, read the book. You’ll find a kindred soul in Ong." — Pam Pastor, 2BU! Philippine Daily Inquirer

Bakit Baliktad Magbasa ng Libro

Ang Mga Pilipino?

by Bob Ong

Ngayong NKKBSKNTLG,
eto na ang sequel…
dahil may El Filibusterismo ang Noli Me Tangere,
may New Testament ang Old Testament,
at may Toy Story 2 ang Toy Story!

Siguro alam mo na kung ano ang africhado, kung saan ang Ganges River sa Pilipinas, at kung bakit may mga taong umaakyat ng overpass pero hindi naman tumatawid. Pero alam mo na rin ba kung bakit sa ilalim ng overpass tumatawid ang mga Pilipino? Kung ano ang lasa ng Toning Water? Kung sino sila Ciriaco, Procopio, Espiridiona, Troadio, at Maxima? Kung paano makipagkaibigan sa mga bangaw? Kung ano ang nagpapaalat sa itlog na maalat? Kung ano ang alam ni Claire Danes na hindi mo alam? At kung bakit nagbabasa pa rin ang mga Pilipino kahit sabihan pang "Bawal Basahin ang Nakasulat Dito"?
 
Nang isulat ko ang "ABNKKBSNPLAko?!  Mga Kwentong Chalk ni Bob Ong," ipinakilala ko sa mga dating mambabasa ng Bobong Pinoy Dot Com ang tao sa likod ng nasabing website.  Sa wakas, nasagot na rin ang makulit na tanong na "Taga-U.P. ba si Bob Ong?"  …Yun nga lang, hindi pa rin doon nagtapos ang usapan.  Dahil para naman sa mga ngayon pa lang nakabasa ng mga kwentong barbero ni Bob Ong, umikot lang ang tanong sa pinagmulan nito: "Ano ang Bobong Pinoy Dot Com?"

love foolosophy. . .

 sayaw muna tayo

 

what am I to do?..
how am I to know?..
who you are…
seems so true…
all the lies you're telling..
tragically compelling…
i'm a love fool..
and my love it means nothing to you..
so maybe I'm still a love fool..

 

lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, and lessens the frictions of social contacts..any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well

qu’une vie. . .

trip lang 'to. . bakit ba?! :D hehehehe. .

il ennuie vraiment quand quelqu'un vous rompt sans disant au revoir même ou reconnaît même votre présence…pourquoi devez-vous le blesser vous aimez ?..vous me manquez, pourtant vous agissez différemment…former votre esprit ! je vous aime mais vous rappèle, j'ai des sensations aussi…j'ai un coeur qui long pour vous, vous savez cela ?..je devine vous sont aussi préoccupé avec les autres choses…je comprends. mais j'ai besoin de vous..désolé pour être si exigeant…j'arrêterai…

de toute façon, la vie va sur pour moi…
faites attention…
je vous manque…
vous occupez mon espace…

we’ll make a brighter day better than our yesterday. . .

i've never liked barbie almalbis' style for singing. . sorry barbie fans. . but this song is definitely a hit. . click here to listen

alone and misunderstood
that’s why i came to you
the feelings i have inside
with you, i can’t hide

i see that life’s a game
get hurt, but who’s to blame
i guess i’m just a child
in a world that’s very wild

where can i find a place that’s full of tenderness
i get there when i close my eyes and hold and pray
that you and i will be there

someday, i say
we’ll make a brighter day better than our yesterday
someday, i say
we’ll make a brighter day but today’s our chance to be there
(this is our chance to be there)

is there a room for change
there are things to rearrange
i thought that we are so young
and temptations are strong

but i’ve got to start with me
it’s hard but let it be
it may take some time
fixing up a perfect life

where can i find a place that’s full of tenderness (tell me, tell me)
i get there when i close my eyes and hold and pray (pray)
that you and i will be there

once in a while, you get down and get wild
set the rain hope so i took some dope
what happened to your start, not a dumb old fun
i had renewed my faith, better not be late
"cause i hate to go back again wasting my life and sin
i got my lord to obey now, so i say now
take a ride home, go, take a ride home, go
back to the father

to do the chance to be there
someday, i say
but today’s our chance
we’ll make a brighter day and today’s our chance to be there

echoes. . .

how a melody could mar one's day. . it's a
mind-boggling, perplexing thing that keeps on playing on your head. .

make it stop. .
making promises is perturbing. .
many believe that what they will see
                  no ending yet. .

many doubts. .
many fears. .
many questions. .
my thoughts linger to an affiance that is chary
          that almost died along with the idle encasement. .
