I need a Bonnie and I can be you Clyde”

The Missing Feeling

More than 5 years ago I got into a relationship this girl. She was great. But to make a long story short, things end last February. See, short.

If I would assess myself, I handled the break-up pretty well. Today, I can confidently say that most part of me has gotten over her. There are some things that I miss, though. I miss the experience of being in a relationship in general.

I miss text messages
During the early to middle part of a modern day Filipino relationship (or courtship. Yes, some of us still believe and practice courtship), this is just a regular thing. When I say regular, I mean texting each other for almost a whole day. It just shows how concerned you are about your better half. I miss the feeling of someone caring for me from a distance (other than my parents). Shallow texts like, “Have you eaten yet?” or, “Will I see you later?” Even the simplest, “I miss you!” gets me! Now, my phone is just an MP3 player, Social Networking Machine, Camera & HIIT timer. It doesn’t fall on the category of a phone anymore.

I miss surprises
I’m a sucker for surprises. I bet you are too. But if I write what I like being surprised about it wouldn’t be a surprise anymore now, would it? Of course I would be talking about the good kind of surprises. Surprises like small random gifts, a P10 cup of ice cream, a song, a kiss, a hug, a compliment, you know, cheesy stuff like that.

I miss date nights
Sure, I could go out and watch a movie, eat, window-shop, and stroll around the mall alone. I’ve done that so many times before. But there’s nothing like sharing a weekly special scheduled night out with a significant other.

I have a few things more that I miss but that about sums it all up.

Okay. Enough of that! Time to play some more Deftones and Skrillex.

Make It Bun Dem

A perfect cross-over between Dubstep & Reggae! Here’s something to blow my midnight soundtrip off the roof! 

This is Skrillex & Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley’s Make It Bun Dem

I’ve been waiting for a summer getaway since the summer season began. Now that I ran out of time and the board exam refresher reviews are coming up, I’ve lost all hope. But looking a few weeks back I did have something like a summer getaway. It didn’t seem like a getaway at first because it was for a shoot of a friend of ours studying in Cebu & it was only in San Fernando, Pampanga. It was the closest thing to what I had in mind.

The bonus is that I got to work as a “sound guy” for a thesis film, I got to meet, bond, have fun with these really awesome people and almost all of it was for free. Win-win situation for everyone!

I didn’t get to take pictures on set but I have these. (Thanks to the lovely Therese a.k.a. “Sofie” for the pictures)

The Fighter

I had this dream last night. I was in an “octagon” and was about to fight this (familiar) Mixed Martial Arts Fighter. I didn’t know who it was but I’m sure I’ve watched him in a UFC fight before. I felt this very unusual adrenaline rush that I’ve never experienced before. It felt good. I felt strong. But sad to say, in the dream was beaten to a bloody pulp, had cuts on both eye brows and a had a broken nose. In the picture, I would be that guy being pounded in the face by Georges St-Peirre.

When I woke up I had this crazy idea of doing MMA. I wanted to leave everything behind and fight! I’m not sure if it would be the same in real life but I loved the adrenaline rush. The feeling that you have to defend yourself and beat the living hell out of the guy right in front of you.

But of course I didn’t leave to find an MMA gym, come up to a trainer and tell him, “Hey! I wanna fight! Teach me how to take down one of these motherfuckers!” I didn’t have enough money for that. I only had enough money for a movie and popcorn.

Though I would not really take MMA seriously but I would consider it as an active hobby in the future. All I have to do now is pass the board exam get rich and get a good trainer so I could kick so much ass!

Note:
I might be still feeling the adrenaline rush so please excuse the language. It’s gonna be a lot different tomorrow.
