Umbrella Thoughts
It takes a lot of patience and humility... to put up with a weak umbrella.
#
You'd better bring your umbrella; chances are, it may rain and drench you and you end up looking like a sewer rat - or it may be that the sun will shine so bright and burn your skin, reducing you to dust.
#
The umbrella teaches one a few things about life. One, if you're weak, you just might be blown away. Two, it always pays to be ready. And three, you should be where you should be.
#
Singing in the rain without an umbrella is a bad idea.
#
"I will not bring my umbrella today because the sun is shining brightly," is a bad idea. Especially if you're in Baguio.
On Eavesdropping
It's an art that few people can do; it is something people say that is horrific that few people will enjoy; but to be entirely truthful, it's something that few people will admit that they do.
#
There is something special about being able to select what you want to hear in a room full of people buzzing with energetic and enthusiastic conversations. It's like tuning out the noise in a radio by continuously fiddling with the dial.
#
Eavesdropping isn't always a bad thing - sometimes you learn a lot of things: about rebellious activity in your area, political arguments and a whole lot of useful stuff. And then there's the usual where you overhear people talking about how stupid you look wearing that huge ribbon in your hair.
#
Intentionality of eavesdropping is always an issue - of course, one can always tune out conversations or not. But then, if they do not want to be overheard, they should go talk somewhere far more... remote.
New Black and Fashion
I'm never going to understand what people mean when they say "gray is the new black" or "green is the new black" or "pink is the new black." They may mean that those colors are the new "in" thing or that those colors can be like black - you can wear them anytime. But whatever. Black is black. And I'm pretty sure that gray, green, and especially pink, resemble none of black. Unless you're blind, of course.
#
The thing about fashion is that it always changes - sometimes with patterns, sometimes random. So in a nutshell, there is no such thing as "always in." You're probably wearing something "in" right now and in the next few seconds, it's no longer "in" anymore.
#
Darn it! The fashion clock is ticking. Go run to the nearest clothing shop. Go, go, GO!
On South Park
It shouldn't be censored. Period.
#
People should censor shows that include Piolo Pascual and other cheesy characters. They do not depict reality in any way and yet they are "living people." Not South Park. Although deaths are rather spectacular, depiction of reality is far more acceptable.
#
Cartman: Kyle? Kyle? I'm far more attractive than you Kyle!
#
Cartman: You go through life being told there is justice, but you learn that the only justice you get is the justice you take. Make no mistake Kyle, before this is over, you WILL suck my balls.
#
Aslan in Imaginationland to Butters: Believe in Santa, kid. Believe in Santa right now!
Butters: Arrrrghhhh!
#
No way, Sir Jawo. NO WAY. South Park is good for the developing mind. (insert manic laughter)
#
Stan: What's the connection between Easter and dipping eggs in colored vinegar?
#
Stan: Between Jesus dying in the cross and us dipping eggs in colored vinegar so that a giant bunny can hide them, don't you think there seems to be a huge gap of information?
#
Randy Marsh: Just dye your stupid eggs!
Stan: I don't want to! I don't get it!
