Ang Huling El Bimbo [translated into English by Yours Truly]

Okay, i was bored. I did not have anything to do, though i had a ton of work to do XD ... so here it is. :D

I cant resist not putting rhymes [it's cuter that way :)) ] so, bahala na kayo XD

 

Ang Huling El Bimbo [in English]

The Last El Bimbo

You looked like Paraluman
When we were still so young
And you were so good at dancing
May it be the boogie or the cha cha
But my favorite would be
is how you swayed to the El Bimbo
T'was amazing, entertaining,
goosebumpingly-captivating.

Just as we left school
I'd be going to your house
The afternoon spent wholly
Of you teaching me

Chorus:
Our hands held each other,
And none of us knew, none of us bothered
That you taught this heart of mine,
What it means to love truly for the first time

My body would just freeze
As the record would play
Astounded by the sway of your hips
and into your deep and beautiful eyes
Life would just seem so much brighter
When both of us held each other
And we slowly slip away
As my hand slides off your flawless arm

I should have told you long ago
'Cause even though now it's lame, this dance is the only one i know.

Chorus:
Our hands held each other,
And none of us knew, none of us bothered
That you taught this heart of mine,
What it means to love truly for the first time

A lot of years have come to pass
We never saw each other again
I heard that you already have a son
But you still have no husband
You're a dishwasher in Ermita, that's what i hear
And one night, you got into an accident in a dark alley near

All my reveries suddenly faded away
And now i dance with you in my dreams anyway
 
Chorus:
Our hands held each other,
And none of us knew, none of us bothered
That you taught this heart of mine,
What it means to love truly for the first time

Avatar: Sozin's Comet [Series Finale]

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Other
well, we are all aware of the fantastic tv series Avatar: The Legend of Aang. You know the "bending" and stuffl. i love the series, the animation is just right and the story is immaculate. but i will comment on the last episodes, they were...uh.. inti-...crea-...wonderfu--.. i cant really put it into words but, it rocked!

Avatar: Sozin's Comet is divided into four parts...
1. The Phoenix King --- Ozi, gets all powerful and all hope seems to be lost cause the fire nation's gonna wipe out everything and Aang's like weak.
2. The Old Masters --- well, Aang goes on a "spiritual journey" [just like most what happens most times in the series], team avatar is separated. They meet the old masters, that will be rescuing ba sing sei.
3. Into the Inferno --- MAN! i love the fighting scenes! our heroes are quite losing here but MAN! i still love it. :D this is where the 4 battles begin.
4. Avatar Aang --- MAN! yea you guessed it. i love the fighting scenes here too. :)) well our heroes triumph and aang brings peace to the world.

well that's just like a summary of what happened.

asides from the great fighting scenes and animation, the plot just seemed so great in these last four episodes. all those characters, all those stories, destinies, intertwined. a lot of the old characters resurfaced, showing that this fight is not Aang's alone. it was all of them.

one of the great things i admired in this story is the contradiction of Aang having so much power and yet having no strength in taking a life. at first i was like, MAN! this is for the world, just kill him. and all of the other avatars think so too. but aang made it through, having the right principles. he defeated the fire lord without killing him. it was just wisdom. violence cannot end violence.

SIGH. that was a lot to say. :)
i just love it so much! :))

i highly recommend you watch it!
Anticipate the upcoming Avatar movie! Coming this Dec 2009! ;)

Final Fantasy Dissidia

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Video Games
Genre: Role-Playing
Console:PlayStation Portable (PSP)
final fantasy dissidia. :))

well the only thing released is the japanese version and i guess we'd have to wait for a few more months for the english one.. but man! it's great. i mean the graphics are immaculate.

and the story deserves a 10 out of 5 :)) well i couldnt understand it all because it was japanese but i found a subbed prologue in the youtube. XD considering the fact that all the main characters of each Final Fantasy with their equal opponents are there, this could be a blast! :)

from the japanese characters and my gamer's sense of intuition, there's a story mode and the arcade mode. and the rest is uhhhhh. japanese? XD well i havent played the story mode [cause it's japanese] but the arcade mode is quite cool. :D they have overdrives, summons and stuff. well it's fighting system is NOT turnbased and is like the system of Kingdom Hearts. :]

it's pretty cool and i think every final fantasy goer should try it.
well at least if you're not japanese, wait for the english version. :))

almost a senior. :)

(sigh.) bigayan ng stipend ngayon. :)) P1200 X) not enough for the hard work and the sleepless nights X)

anyway, that's not the point. today na it was given is like the 8th time i got it. WHOAH. X) third year na pala ako. it was just like yesterday that i was a freshman; feeling ultimately different. i remember the people i used to hang out with. back when i was in my first year, I DID NOT COME HOME AT PAST 7pm(during schooldays)! X)) all those people i left. all those people i miss. X|

second year came, and yeah. their almost the same people i am with right now.

same faces :) new phases :)

on days AND nights, that i thought i wouldnt make it alive, i actually did! i even learned how to do a project a night before the deadline :)) i learned that brown envelopes can actually save your life in keeping all those darn quizzes your teacher asked you to compile. i learned that all the stress, all the hard work, all the sleeplessness, is all worthwhile, when you have friends there beside you. awwww. :))

it's january 09. i remember my first day of high school, june 6 06. [666] other people thought it was the end of the world, but it was a beginning for ours. :D

a few more months i'll be a senior. a fourth of me wants to end it! but all the rest doesnt want me to. life in mandsci has not been like any other feeling i felt. here are a few scenes i like:

  • when it's 9 or 10pm, you and your groupmates are walking to get home from a tough project, you feel the cold air of the night brush through your skin, the empty streets bestowing upon you the freedom to rant and talk, the lights of the streetlamps guiding your way through the rough night. :) it's quite a scene.
  • last night, your whole classroom was practicing for like a play or dance or whatever, you go to school and see the drooping eyes of all your classmates........ but still when they find you staring at them, they simply smile. :D all boundaries crossed.
  • times when you really cant get your precalculus problem and you're at the verge of crying because you cant just solve it, someone comes near you and teaches you. and even though you ask him or her to repeat it for three or four times, you end up getting it and thanking that person. he or she just walks away, not waiting for a praise or reward.
  • the open forums; the way you cry; the way others cry... and how it strengthens the bond between class and room. :D
  • the corny jokes, like mine, that are even though as corny as heck, will still make you laugh.

sigh. those are just a few. even though it is hard to be like this. always stressed and out of sleep. through all the crushes and crushees. through all the teachers and their loads of homework and tasks. through everything... mandsci in itself makes it worthwhile with friends and its charm. :)

on THAT matter. :)

sssssssssiiiiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhh.

life, as i know it, is topsy turvy. XD it's pretty hard liking someone who doesnt like you but... you seem to want it that way. at least that's what i feel. ;)

well then, maybe because he makes me feel so safe and the way he comforts me is why i like him so much. :)) the way he's silent. the way he's like always there. i dont find him THAT good-looking but... it's this charm of his. X)

and no, i will not rant about this guy like the previous post. :))

i'm gonna rant about something else. XD if i like him and he doesnt like me, what should i do? tell him? or give up? it's pretty hard you know, especially if you're a girl. GIRLS have to wait. GIRLS have to hope that, that guy would like her. Girls cant just go up to a guy and tell him her feelings. why? the society dictates this as so, and it does seem a little desperate. XD

anyway. i dont know which path i chose, i'll just hope God would nmake the best decision in writing my Love Story. X)
