“Some people, I am told, have memories like computers, nothing to do but punch the button and wait for the print-out. Mine is more like a Japanese library of the old style, without a card file or an indexing system or any systematic shelf plan. Nobody knows where anything is except the old geezer in felt slippers who has been shuffling up and down those stacks for sixty-nine years. When you hand him a problem he doesn’t come back with a cartful and dump it before you, a jackpot of instant retrieval. He finds one thing, which reminds him of another, which leads him off to the annex, which directs him to the east wing, which sends him back two tiers from where he started. Bit by bit he finds you what you want, but like his boss who seems to be under pressure to examine his life, he takes his time.”

Recordings of two year old Kurt Cobain talking and singing
This tape recording was made by Kurt’s aunt, Mary. It contains a 2 year old Kurt talking into the tape player, with the family listening to him in the background. The reverb function is pushed on at one stage, where you can hear Kurt refer to ‘Boddah,’ (he thinks it’s Boddah talking, when it’s in fact his own voice being bounced back to him) his childhood imaginary friend, and the same person as to whom his suicide note was addressed to. It also contains a funny impersonation of a car repair customer (his dad worked at a garage) and other amusing comments.
(Kurt singing ‘Hey Jude’ by the Beatles)

Whoa, first of all, sorry ngayon ko lang ito nabasa!
And for the rest of you gais out thurr, please follow http://elriz.tumblr.com :)
Gusto ko talaga ang iyong ‘pa-cute’ na blog kasi makatotohanan ang mga larawang nakikita ko. Also, Pinoy ako, so makakarelate talaga ako (lalo na yung mga less than pleasant things to see, estero, etc) haha I have only been to very few places in the Philippines, so looking at your site makes me feel like I’m experiencing them first-hand hrhrhr :)
“
When people feel ashamed of their STI status, or when they feel too embarrassed to talk with a partner about safer sex, or when they don’t feel comfortable going to the clinic or asking their doctor for an STI test, they’re a lot less likely to take steps to prevent STIs. The more we shame people and the more shame we create around STIs, the harder we make it to actually change anything.
The funny thing is that we don’t attach nearly as much shame to other bacteria and viruses. After all, who hasn’t gone to work instead of staying home with the flu? And if someone gets measles, we rarely tell them that they deserved it. There’s much more shame dumped on STIs than almost any other medical condition.

Straight from Tondo: Jim Libiran #kinse →
mokidoki.tumblr.com
…as told to Adrianna Mejia. # Ako si Jim Libiran, ako ay taga tondo.
Isa akong manunulat, makata, organizer, aktbista, filmmaker at mamamahayag.
Ang napansin ko sa isang punto ng career namin as journalists na mas maraming nakikinig sa telepantasya, telenovela, iyakan, sampalan, bugbugan at sabunutan.
Sa ngayon parang may punto pa nga na tinignan yung mga mamamahayag na parang problema ng bansa dahil nagdadala kami ng masamang balita palagi.
Gustong gusto ng mga tao na manhid sila at ang pinakamaganda nilang drugs ay showbiz.
Pinasok ko yung larangan ng kultura, kamalayan ng pilipino, kaluluwa niya, yung mga pangarap niya hoping na doon makapagbibigay ng pagbabago.
Kung ang pelikula ay pag-rarap, sa salita ng mga taga Tondo, kahit igapos mo ako at talian mo ang bibig ko, magrarap ako.
Kahit igapos mo ako o talian mo bibig ko gagawa ako ng pelikula, magkkwento ako.
Si Ed Linggaw, nagpost sa facebook ng “J-walking EDSA” at tinatanong niya yung mga tao, “Kailan nangyari yung EDSA?” nangyari daw yun June or July at tapos si Ninoy Aquino daw naging presidente ng Pilipinas bago si Marcos.
May nagsabi pang isa na dapat bumalik yung kamay na bakal.
Napasagot nga ako na, “Ed pakisabi nga sa kanya sasampalin namin siya ng kamay na bakal.”
Kaya kayo nakapag-aral sa UP, sa Ateneo, sa La Salle, kaya nakakapag-enjoy kayo ng mga kung anu-ano mang mga ginagawa ninyo ngayon, dahil may mga taong naghiwa ng braso nila, pumirma ng dugo at nakipag patayan.
Nakakainis dahil labing apat na taong kang nag-aaral anong ginawa mo kundi tumulala sa teacher mo?
Ang dapat ng intention ko sa pelikula ko para sa Kinse, ay sabihin sa mga kabataan na you have the right to know and that once you know, you have to act.
Democracy can be fucked by its own people.
Yung karapatan can also be destroyed by a stupid people who don’t care what the laws are and who simply don’t care because they will be living in Europe or in America or in Canada, so why the fuck, diba?
Kung paalis ka ng bansa, umalis ka na. Sipain ka namin gusto mo?
Gusto kong sabihin sa batch na gumraduate ngayon at sa batch ng susunod na henerasyon don’t fuck this up, don’t fuck up our democracy.
Papano kaming mga ayaw umalis dito? Papaano kaming mga nagpapakahirap na gumagawa ng mga pelikula, kahit may mga offer naman sa ibang bansa? Nandito kami so don’t fuck it up.
Ngayon, kung hindi mo naman trip yung ganon, alis ka na ngayon pa lang at huwag kang hihingi ng pera sa gobyerno.

Also, I never got this memo: “Don’t break the cardinal rule of using the stall right next to an occupied one.” I couldn’t care less about who’s where and which stall I go to - basta gusto ko lang “maglabas ng sama ng loob.”
