Grammar police, peace tayo. Walang edit-edit 'to haha gutom na ko eh. 

What I learned at the MRT today: Perverts have pervy-word radar.

I was reading some academic article on masturbation (I swear it's academic, it's part of Kay's SocSci reading list) at the MRT when I noticed a lot of people were looking at me. Fine, not at me, but at what I was reading. They probably thought I was a pervert or something. Pero hello, academic article yung binabasa ko, academic 'yun pramis.

There were others (like the people seated beside me and the ones standing in front of me) who tried to read the article. Ayoko sa mga nakikibasa, so I kept the academic article I was reading and started scanning my Italian notes, much to the dismay of the pervy ones who were trying to read over my shoulder.

This is the part where I share what I learned from the article.

Personal Choices: Is Masturbation for Me? The Pros and Cons of Masturbation*

Pros:

1. Self-knowledge. Masturbation can provide immediate feedback about what one enjoys.
2. Increased body comfort. Individuals who are comfortable with their bodies are more confident and less anxious during sexual interactions, resulting in more overall sexual satisfaction with one's partner (Buker, 2002).
3. Orgasm more likely. Prior experience with masturbation is the strongest single predictor of orgasm and emotional satisfaction with first intercourse, according to a study by Thomson and Chang in 2002.
4. Pressure taken off partner. Masturbation might provide an alternative means of sexual satisfaction for the partner wanting more sex while taking the pressure off the other.
5. No partner necessary. It is a way of enjoying a sexual experience when the partner is not around.
6. Avoids risk of disease transmission or pregnancy. Because it is a solo activity.
7. Unique, pleasurable experience. It is different from intercourse and other sexual behaviors.
8. Helpful in mainaining sexual fidelity. Can help partners become "faithful" when they are away from each other.
9. Useful in treatment of sexual dysfunctions.

Cons:

1. Feeling of being abnormal. Some people feel they are abnormal becaise they masturbate "too frequently" or in unusual ways.
2. Strengthened attraction to inappropriate stimuli. For example, adults who masturbate while fantasizing about interactions with children are strengthening their erotic responses to children.

Quotable Quotes, MRT Edition

"BS SEX EDUCATION siguro course nyan."
-a girl to her friend, obviously referring to me

Mabilis lang 'to. Sana yung mga taxi driver matuto namang magpatay ng mga 'taxi or 'for hire' lights nila (yung mga nasa bubong at sa may windshield) kapag may sakay na sila. Kasi naman, pag nakailaw yung mga yun, ibig sabihin wala silang sakay, pwede sila i-hire kumbaga. Nakakainis yung para ka ng para kasi nga nakailaw yung 'for hire', mukha ka nang tanga kakapara tapos pagdaan sa harap mo may sakay pala. Kung ganun lang rin naman, wag na maglagay ng mga ilaw diba.

Ayun lang naman, nakakapagod kasi talaga pumara ng taxi. Lalo na kapag Friday night.

Hi, I'm Aaron, walking love advice columnist.

PUNYETA.

I'm tired of freakin love problems already. Hindi ko naman dapat problema yan leche. Sumulat ka kay Joe d'Mango willing pa sya tumulong.

Yup nakikinig ako, pero wag naman ako abusuhin.

Kung 'moving on' problems, sige, kaya ko yan. Pero shit, problema ng babae sa manliligaw nya sa akin ka hihingi ng advice. Ano yun joke?

Don't expect me to tell you all the courting/dating/mating secrets of men. Ayokong maging traydor sa lahi ko.

Today I...

1. Ate 3 coffee candies in one go just so I won't fall asleep in BC class.
2. Watched the Great Oblation Run with Kai and Erika who got, este picked up a rose dropped by one of the runners. Erika desperada believes the naked runner who dropped the said rose is her soulmate.
3. Attended Soc Sci class but didn't understand half of what my prof said because I was sleepy because I ran out of coffee candies.
4. Watched the CAL Faculty Follies. The damn ticket cost a hundred pesos and it was only after I paid that I found out that I had only twenty pesos left for pamasahe.
5. Waited for Ayla the forever sit-in outside Kay's class just so I could borrow some money for food and pamasahe.
6. Watched the University Carolfest with Kay and Ayla and uhm 25 other people from masscomm. Hahaha at least mas marami kami sa mga taga-School of Library and Information Science (SLIS). Nasa library pa daw sila hahaha ang sama ko sa SLIS.

Leche I'm somewhere below the poverty line na yata. And I think I have a sleeping disorder.

Oh and I just have to say this. Kay broke Ayla's rubics cube for the second time this week. Wengk wengk wengk.

On the way home I bumped into someone I haven't seen in a really long time. We talked the entire jeepney ride and we almost *forgot* to pay pamasahe.

One last thing: I was a couple of steps away from our house when I looked up and saw a shooting star.

Quotable Quotes, Pussy Porn Edition

 

"Hindi naman ako naa-arouse."

-Bebs

Kasama ka ba dun sa mga tumakbo ng nakahubad sa UP?

Polite Answer: Ay hindi po, mga members lang po nung frat na APO ang kasali dun.
What I Really Wanted to Say: So ano kung tumakbo ako dun, masama na tingin nyo sa akin? Leche hindi lahat ng taga-UP kasali dun damnit, sunugin ko kaya kayo ng buhay.

Anong course mo iho, Nursing?

Polite Answer: Hindi po, Broadcast Communication po.
What I Really Wanted to Say: Masyado na po silang marami, ayoko na makisali at makiagaw ng slots sa mga trabaho sa mga ospital sa ibang bansa. Sayang naman po ang aking creativity diba.Ayoko po maging nurse kasi hindi ako sobrang compassionate. Mas gusto ko pang mag-Med, dapat Molecular Biology and Biotechnology ang course ko kaso baka pag yun ang naging course ko hindi nyo lalo maintindihan. Pero madali naman ako pakiusapan eh, gusto nyo mag-Nursing ako, but the catch is hindi ko kayo bibigyan ng pera ever. Ano, go?

Broadcast Communication, eh di magiging reporter ka nun? Parang, 'Aaron Bola, nag-uulat'? O papalitan mo si Mike Enriquez?

Polite Answer: Hindi lang naman po yun, pwede rin ako maging direktor o producer. Mas gusto ko po kasi sana yung behind-the-scenes work.
What I Really Wanted to Say: Gusto nyo magpaseminar ako tungkol sa broadcasting, para mabago ang konsepto nyo nito? Hindi lang po news ang broadcasting, magtigil-tigil kayo dyan sa kaka-Mike Enriquez nyo sa akin baka bangasan ko kayo ng mukha at ipalit ko mukha nya sa inyo. Gusto ko sana maging reporter, pero NO, inaagawan na ng trabaho ng mga katulad nina Gretchen Malalad at Atom Araullo ang mga BC majors na tulad ko. Kaya magiging direktor o kaya artista na lang ako, thank you.

(No edit-edit, diretso type lang tingnan natin kung ok masulat ko hahaha) 

When I first saw the trailer I was like, "Woah Bong Revilla can produce shit like that, that's great".

Because of the trailer I was expecting really good sequences, nicely written lines and state-of-the-art effects. Bong Revilla (and Imus Productions) failed me. Resiklo is one of those movies that have really great trailers but when you watch 'em, pfft. I dunno if I was in the right state of mind that time but really, when I saw the trailer I felt like it would be a really great flick.

Well it's not. From now on I'll never ever ever trust movie trailers. Especially if the movie involves tons of visual effects.

Things I didn't like about the movie:

• To many members if the Revilla clan in the cast
• Crappy OBB (the newspaper headlines montage--I sweaaar I can do so much better than that)
• Terrible acting and even more terrible dubbing
• It's like Rounin, only with a Kapuso cast
• The concept, fight scenes and dialogues were all these rolled into one: Heroes, Alien versus Predator, Transformers, 300, Independence Day, Florante at Laura and Star Wars
• You know President Whitmore's speech in the movie Independence Day? Translate that into our language and you get Bong Revilla's speech near the end of the movie. Seriously.

Things I liked about the movie:

• Aliens attacked the Philippines first and yet in the end it had the most survivors (I like to think that, because of what someone in the movie said--"Paubos na po ang mga tao sa Amerika, Tsina, Europa at iba pang lugar" )
• Aliens know our language!!!
• Michelle Madrigal's uhm melons, the movie's saving grace hahahaha
  
• The robots were okay-looking, at least they didn't look like trashy scraps of metal
• Lahar fight sequence!!!

Oh and did I mention the mall had a power outage while we were watching? The movie stopped playing for like 5 minutes; I thought we were never going to see the ending. It was creeeeepy like that movie where people got trapped in a mall while zombies attacked.

The movie's ending is so Transformers it made me hurl. Oh shit I'm so mean bashing this movie but it feels so good.

2/5 (one point for thr okay-looking robots and another point for the Lahar fight sequence, hahahaha)

Quotables:

"Tingnan mo 'tong mga bagong toys namin check it out mo."

"Ang mga ito pwedeng i-resiklo." (This line was said in the movie about four times)

"Overstaying na kayo. Panahon na para i-deport. Happy New Year." 

Last night we saw this painted across an overpass in Pasig:

"Sige... Pasig... Sige Pa...."

WTF right.

I had the best dream of my life last night. Oh yehes.

"I hope we'll still keep in touch after I graduate."

POTAHNGENA.
