I remember seeing The Vizconde Massacre when I was young and being freaked out. Freaked out that it would happen to my family, to my little friends' families, my neighbor's family, my classmates family, etc. Years and years later, those who the movie (or Jessica Alfaro, if you want) pointed out to be the murderers are now acquitted. (Are they? I can only grasp things single-handedly with the shortest attention span. But I think yes they have recently been acquitted, and accdg to Short Attention Span, it's due to lack of evidence.)

Now, seeing Lauro Vizconde on television, being old and sad like this, and seeing my teacher's facebook statuses that go something like Hubbert Webb had been jailed unfairly for so many years makes me want to get a little deeper on this whole thing. I mean, as a kid, the media fed me that Webb and his friends were murderers, said also "star witness" Jessica Alfaro (who had always the darkest sunglasses on) without a doubt. Now, there's this whole thing with going out of prison (if they haven't yet)? And Lauro crying while being an old man. And my elementary/highschool teacher who I never did once think-low-the-opinions-of.

Hmm...

Ok, long time no post. Today's story has Agua Bendita involved. This is really short because it's already 3pm and I'm still not in Dreamland--which is, of course--not good.

After mindlessly cleaning the kitchen whilst everyone chattered away on P's friends in the Philippines who are "too pretty to be pretty", and boyfriends who have gotten themselves in some hot water with getting somebody else pregnant (ugh I hate In A Corner by Apparatjik-- it comes right before "Josie" which is a really good one! So yes interruption!) other than their girlfriends, and the newest Facebook meme where you have to say what "drink" you are which is supposed to say a secret corresponding meaning about you (such as "slut", "miserable", "single and desperate" [this drill]) ..and well..hearing about whose man knows the meanings and who just got busted for not being a one-woman-man-- I wish I just lived in epiphany but I had to hear these things..and then go to the bathroom afterwards cos I had to.. have a BM. Sorry, TMI. Damn, these are all run-ons and all grammatically incorrect. And it's past 3pm too! Which is never an excuse. (I hate Dugs!)

Here comes Agua doing what she does best-- rushing to the door the second it was lock-closed and then semi-screaming "Ohhh!! No!! I have to peeee!" Always the Queen of the Toilet, I had to heed so I opened the door and she said, "I have to wash my face (sorry)". Yup, disguised as an apology without the "sorry". So here's the wondering: There's another bathroom, and is nearer their room so what.the.H. was that about (and always IS about?). I go out and pass their room, and she's right there by the door waiting for vacancy as if this was the last vacancy on earth. I see her roommate J smiling a blank smile but at the same time kind of understanding things (or not?). It did look like she was on the side of Banyo Queen, I can't be sure.

End of boring story. More boring stories to come. That's right. Because I now have a wireless mouse. Captain Obvious sets me free and Cool Stories, Bro are my thang.

This one always jump right at me in the unlikeliest of times, such as when busy recalling an important textbook fact, or when scrubbing dead cells away in the bath, or when walking towards the sala for the remote control.

It goes: Along with two friends, I'm in the library of my elem/high school at recess time, for the routinary smelling of books while sifting through their pages (usually atlases, or encyclopedias), and double for the airconditioning. This must be in 6th grade. I don't remember the exact details leading to the main event but I remember Aqua's Barbie Girl as a hit, and ganging up with Friend 1 when tastewise musically-advanced Friend 2 says "Rock!" It just goes on and on-- me and Friend 1 saying "Pop!" right after Friend 2 says "Rock!" We don't stop. We are like a looped song just doing,
"Rock!"
"Pop!"
"Rock!"
"Pop!" "
Rock!"
"Pop!"
Our elbows are propped up against the table, hands to chin, semi-serious in the one word argument.

Later on, Friend 2'd be right about siding with rock, cos I'd agree with it as it would balance pop out in the long run.

First, I wanna thank a good person - [personal profile] nightspear for giving me an invite code. The username I was supposed to use before this is likely going to be given away to someone deserving and more devotional toward the Glass family.

So anyway...

1997 (or 8, not too sure anymore but certainly not 1999) was the year of overplaying and overwatching the VHS Spice Girls Live in Istanbul. Wasn't mine but my cousins'. We (w/ sisters) were staying at my cousins' house for vacation one May, or April, I forget now. They'd watch the concert 3 times a day at the maximum. I wasn't even that much of a fan of the Spice Girls. I was mostly a fan of garden games, noodles cooked by a cousin who was a fellow kid (we were like a ladder in age differences), and the huge fairy tale book they had in one of the most interesting rooms of the house. But getting to see good choreography like that in an early time, without anything to compare it with, made us all pretty much quiet and sparkly-eyed just staring on the TV screen in amazement, sometimes singing along. For me now at 24, it still will not be contested as one great show, if not one of the greatest in the history of pop music (it's Nostalgia saying this, obviously).

Fast forward to 12 years later and here I am with a headpack of nostalgia. No need to go to the details of poverty, but that there have been no Google results for this dvd for a long, long while until now. So I dL the VHS version very carelessly - leading to erasure of the same rar files later because of the NTFS vs FAT32 thing. This quickly leads to seeing ANOTHER version (the 2007-released one of same concert). Not learning from a previous mistake, I do not read about it being an edited version until I see the dvd menu. "Stop", and a bunch of others are nowhere. So that is the end of my dumbity. Don't try it.

Have converted FAT to NTFS and shall re-DL the VHS version (with a whopping 45 parts! ALL OVER AGAIN!), hoping this IS the FULL SHOW.

It's raining, BTW.
