nyebe

after all the fireworks and noise, the newyear left us with an eerie quiet.

not to mention tons of trash in the streets.

i wasn't really interested in shooting fireworks.

went around san pedro laguna, putatan muntinlupa, and alabang to do some early morning street shooting. the lack of vehicles and people was relaxing. the streets were literally empty. except for the trash.

the mountains of styrofoam in the alabang palengke area was dumbfounding. all the rush to buy fruits for the new year left the streets almost unpassable.

do we really need to create so much waste just for our desire for good luck?

just as expected, the alabang/otis area was clean, so was las pinas. though a few tires wound block the way.

i couldn't help getting G.I. and the idiots' wonderful world of garbage off my mind.

happy new year folks. whatever that would mean to you.

A full moon occurred on Dec. 2. It will appear again on Thursday in time for the New Year's countdown.

According to popular definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a month. But don't expect it to be blue — the name has nothing to do with the color of our closest celestial neighbor.

A full moon occurs every 29.5 days, and most years have 12. On average, an extra full moon in a month — a blue moon — occurs every 2.5 years. The last time there was a lunar double take was in May 2007. New Year's Eve blue moons are rarer, occurring every 19 years. The last time was in 1990; the next one won't come again until 2028.

Blue moons have no astronomical significance, said Greg Laughlin, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

"`Blue moon' is just a name in the same sense as a `hunter's moon' or a `harvest moon,'" Laughlin said in an e-mail.

The Day Xmas died.

the next time you folks go to a gig in ten02 bar in QC and wonder why there are shoe marks on the ceiling, here's why.

nervous breakdowns occur intensely during christmas season. theres a lot going through my mind right now. fuck this yultide season, xmas rushing, spoiling people = bullshit hapiness made from materialistic enjoyment. a lot of people dont see the real deal about christmas w/c is total opposite to what is happening and they just fulfill themselves with shopping, eating, and shopping, and eating.

the world has gone mad and the only thing that's left to do is total cleansing.... racial cleansing!
total tayo rin naman ang sisira sa ating mga sarili. hndi si God, hindi ang climte, hindi ang kahit ano pang FORCE sa mundo. tao ang sisira sa tao.. ikaw, ako, tayong lahat.

this isnt just negativity talking here. im way past negativism and im actually using negativity to rationalize everything that I've seen, experienced and read from current events, to just strolling around the city, walking through the enclave of soicial realism.

i want to transform this whole negative vibe, that the normal people see in me, into a good thing that will not just benefit myself, but other socialy deficient individuals.. instead of sucking out every last drop of depression and actually killng themselves, literaly or figuratively, why not use this lowly kind of feeling into something good, like exercising our thinking mind, reasoning, and applying knowledge.

crackhead thinking? extreme paranoia? call it whatever you want... the only thing that a person can and will need in life, is their mind.

Intelligence implies solving problems, learning from experience, and reasoning abstractly:

"The world of the future will be an ever more demanding struggle against the limitations of our intelligence" -Norbert Wiener

Reason, the capacity for logical, rational, and analytic thought, embraces comprehending, evaluating, and drawing conclusions:

"Since I have had the full use of my reason, nobody has ever heard me laugh" -Earl of Chesterfield
