NICKNAMES

napansin nyo ba kung gaano kakukulit ang mga palayaw na binabansag nating mga pinoy. halos lahat na yata ng pwedeng itawag sa isang tao ay binansag na natin! eto ang ilan sa mga tinutukoy ko...

body parts and features - considerable pa dahil kung iyon ang una mong mapapansin sa isang tao eh di iyon ang itatawag mo
ex.
si ulo, si tenga, si panga, si mukha, si baba
si balbon, si tisoy, si kulot, si singkit

food - ewan ko baka hilig nila ito at ibinebenta o may kwento behind kaya na-associate sila sa pagkain
ex.
si talong, si bagoong, si kamote, si itlog, si buko, si monay

animals - mukha silang hayop?! baka lang may skills sila na tulad ng sa hayop na iyon
ex.
si daga, si bangus, si langgam, si kabayo, si sisiw, si surot, si buwaya, si itik

kapansanan at dumi sa katawan - eto rin ay marahil sa una nating napapansin sa kanila
ex.
si kuba, si pilay,
si kulangot, si luga, si bukol, si tinga, si balakubak

others - eto siguro kung hindi nyo alam ang istorya ay di nyo maiintindihan bakit sila nabansagan ng ganitong mga palayaw o kaya nyo naman sigurong mahulaan dahil tulad nung iba based rin yan sa features at experience nila
ex.
si doormat, si mangkok, si bangga, si pinggan, si flashlight, si baliktad, si buwan, si tae at si utot (excuse me!), si kalabit, si kamot, si bagyo

marami pang iba palayaw tulad ng kanilang trabaho, pinanggalingan at nakagawian... sa totoo lang mas nakakatawa kung ilalagay ko un mga paunang pangalan nila bago ang alyas, halimbawa: totoy bato, pepeng paa, buboy kalyo atbp. hehe kaso bigyan na lang natin sila ng konting privacy haha

come to think of it ang mga example ko... sa lugar pa lang namin at mga alam ko lang yan! di ko pa sinama ang mga bastos... lalo na siguro sa iba pang lugar. sa inyo anong mga palayaw na patok?

GIG


gig, originally uploaded by busalshots.

ako ay tutugtog kahit ayoko na
kakanta akong nakapikit ang mata
tumulo man ang luha ito'y gagawin
hanggang aking makita ang para sa 'kin

ang tanong ko anong ginagawa mo dyan
sa maniwala't hindi nakatambay lang
bakit ang katawan mo'y nagkakasakit
siguro'y di kaya pero pinipilit

hindi maka-alis samahan mo ako
sabay tayong aawit sa tugtuging ito
break it down yo!

Thanks for rappin' peeps!

why the return is not so super?


returns, originally uploaded by busalshots.

age gap and the spidey factor
i was born 1979 and as a child... people only believed that a man can fly because of superman. superman was THE hero, he's always present on my birthday cake. you can include a bit of starwars which i really didn't understand that time. the generation before me loved superman returns alot! (well most)

most people that didn't like the movie turn up were born in the 1980's onwards (except the children today)... think about this... by the time you somehow know how the world works (which would be 6 - 8 yrs. old, coz ur in school na) , superman was already gone (even though last movie was in '87) dahil not like today, children before have no access to movies even though it has just been shown. the bottom line is you don't know superman! in reality others still have no idea that smallville is about superman's high school days!

so with a feeling like a child who have not seen his father during childhood, you know he's your father, but by the time you meet him you really don't know him... that's how the world feels now that superman returned

people are gonna kill me for saying this but i believe that today's spiderman was patterned after yesterday's superman... not in terms of copying it but in replicating the factors that caught the viewer's affection plus improving it by giving something the superman series lacks (back then) which was the technology plus other story complications.

example:
- death of a love one before stardom
- giving up on their powers for the love of their life
- choosing between the people who needs help and their leading lady
- pa-awa effect sa alter ego
- revealing the true identity to the leading lady etc...

they're not exactly the same but what im sayin is that the spiderman movie is sprinkled with that kind of essence to build up its fancy.

a tough act to follow
if you're aware of the success of the superman movies way back especially 1 & 2 you know its not easy to top that... the 1978 superman (superman - the movie) was considered the first, and often the best, modern superhero film so you just can't bash in and make another one just like that. the last superman movie was 1987... it took almost two decades before they came up with a new superman movie bcoz its would be difficult to surpass expectations of the superman fans then plus the more demanding expectations of the new generation that has already watched tons of superhero movies.

just an intro
you have to notice that the movie is an opener. it only wants to unveil a new character (even though its superman). show the people around him, his background, his playground and his usual abilities. the movie just wants us to know that superman is around and is back.

if you think the movie is not that spectacular its because of those reasons... isipin mo pinanood mo ang isang superhero na di mo masyadong kilala na namomroblema at malungkot para kang ipinakilala sa isang taong problemado na eh di mo pa ka-close...

people doesn't understand and appreciate superman returns because they were not part of the legacy! but they'll soon be..

just wait till superman finds his way back to the hearts of the people... though he's not one of us... he was raised with human emotions kaya nasasaktan din yon

pero sa tingin ko eh talagang kinapos lang sa dulo... akalain mong na-ospital si superman napunta lang ng maynila? buti pa si spiderman naging gagambang bahay lang sandali tapos lumakas uli ehehe
