Towel Day :: A tribute to Douglas Adams (1952-2001)


Today is Towel Day. Why Towels? Here's what the hitchhiker's guide has to say:

A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have. Partly it has great practical
value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very, very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitch hiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

On NGO-ism

?The NGO-ization of politics threatens to turn resistance into a well-mannered, reasonable, salaried, 9-to-5 job. With a few perks thrown in. Real resistance has real consequences. And no salary.?

~ Arundhati Roy

I know perfectly well that I don't want to do anything; to do something is to create existence - and there's quite enough existence as it is.

Patungkol sa songwriting, mula sa musikerong nagpasimula ng sticker na 'This Machine Kills Fascists'

"I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing.

Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim too ugly or too this or too that. Songs that run you down or poke fun at you on account of your bad luck or hard traveling.

I am out to fight those songs to my very last breath of air and my last drop of blood. I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world and that if it has hit you pretty hard and knocked you for a dozen loops, no matter what color, what size you are, how you are built.
I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work."

~ Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie

"A flea, with legs finer than a human hair, can pull up to 700 times its own weight! A flea can lift up to 60 times its own weight! A flea can jump over 150 times its own height! When we build circuses on Mars, or asteroids one day, then we?ll perhaps witness similar dexterity, but for now - consider a humble flea."

right tulad ng isang right angle, na hindi pwedeng lumabas sa 90 degrees.

Para sa kawawang walang maipapasak na musika sa tenga, parusa ang araw-araw na pagpasok at pagkukunwaring nagtratrabaho sa saliw ng pagatungal ng kasamahan sa trabahong malaki ang katawan, pangarap maging ufc fighter, at may superiority at seniority complex.

ang miyerkules na ito ay tulad ng miyerkules nuong nakaraan linggo, at nung isa pang linggo at nung mga miyerkules na nakaraan pa.

isang araw, otso oras na naman ng pagtipa ng walang kabuluhang eklat. kabalintunaang excel ang gamit namin, ngunit di naman kami nag-e-excel o kailangan mag-excel labas sa kinakailangang kakanyahan ng kumpanya.

ito ang kapalit ng pagtangging magutom, ang maburyong.

shock and awe din pala ang epekto ng slumdog. para sa mga nabuhay sa relatibong mas kumportableng kundisyon, nakakagulat ang pagtalon sa tae, pag-ampon ng mga sindikato, at ma-tortyur. nakakagulat kasi wala/malayo sa ating suhetibong ideyal ang mga pangyayari. at ang ideyal at suhetibo ay madalas, kundi man ay karaniwang umiikot sa sarili, na may manaka-nakang pagkalabit mula sa labas, salamat sa midya, pero sa huli, tulad ng isang turumpo, ay babalik ulit sa ikot, hanggang sa tuluyan na nga itong mawalan ng momentum at matumba, tigok, patay.

maganda kasi bago itong ideya para sa mga hindi tumatalon sa tae para makapagpapirma ng litrato sa hinahangaang action star, na sa malamang ay isa nang senador, may ari ng isang, dalawang villa, yate, bukirin etc,. pero para sa mga jhamil, salim, at latika, ito ang normalidad ng mundo, ito ang modalidad, at ito ang takbo at siklo na nga ng isang slumdog. na sa totoo lang ay bihira, mas posible pa atang manalo sa jueteng (o kung anu man ang kapareha nito sa india) kesa maging millionaire nga.

inspirational nga sigurong maituturing ang pelikula, may aspetong kumikiliti sa imahenasyon ng nakapanood na, oo, pwede nga yung ganun, maari, posible, datapwat, kailangan lang magtiis, tiis, at tiis pa, hanggang sa maluto ang nilaga na bunga nga ng tiyaga. pero madalas sa minsan, ang pagtitiis ay nagbubunga lamang ng mas mahaba pang pagtitiis, hindi tulad sa pelikulang ang premyo ay 20,000,000 rupeya at sa pagbabanat ng buto para maging nilaga, minsan, madalas, posibleng, sa sobrang banat ay malagot.

Nakakapagtaka lang na tulad ng mga pelikulang komedya sa pilipinas nuong 80s, madalas din palang may song and dance number sa mga pelikulang indiano, sa hulihan nga lang.

oo, napanuod ko na ang slumdog millionaire.

Kung paano hindi umorder ng malaking kape

Danny: Can I get a large black coffee?
Barista: A what?
Danny: Large black coffee.
Barista: Do you mean a venti?
Danny: No, I mean a large.
Barista: Venti is large.
Danny: No, venti is twenty. Large is large. In fact, tall is large and grande is Spanish for large. Venti is the only one that doesn't mean large. It's also the only one that's Italian. Congratulations, you're stupid in three languages.
Barista: A venti is a large coffee.
Danny: Really? Says who? Fellini? Do you accept lira or is it all euros now?

Patungkol sa Panganib ng Hinaharap

Ang panganib ng nakaraa'y ang pagiging alipin ng tao. Ang panganib ng hinaharap ay maaring maging robot ang tao.

The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that man may become robots.

~ Erich Fromm

Pagkamatay

Noong ika-labinsiyam na siglo, ang poblema'y patay ang Diyos. Ngayong ika-dalawampung siglo, ang poblema'y patay ang tao.

In the nineteenth century the problem was that God is dead. In the twentieth century the problem is that man is dead.

Ukol sa pag-ibig

Sa pag-ibig nangyayari ang kabalintunaan ng dawang nilalang na naging isa ngunit nanatiling dalawa.

In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two.

Habang tumataas tayo sa panlipunang hagdan, mas kumakapal rin ang maskara ng kabangisan.

Sen. Loren Legarda, the new face of an advocacy campaign to promote breast-feeding among Filipino mothers, revealed Monday that she has a supernumerary nipple, or a third nipple, otherwise known as a ?thripple.?

Legarda, who has two sons, made the revelation at the press launch of ?Magpa-Suso Ka,? a campaign to encourage more women to breast-feed their children instead of just giving them infant formula.

?What many people do not know about me is that I was an expert breast-feeder when I was still raising my sons Lorenzo and Leandro,? the senator told a news conference Monday.

?That is because I have a third nipple,? she said, drawing gasps and cheers from the audience.

?It?s true. I have an extra nipple here,? she said, pointing her finger to her left armpit.

?So whenever there was no more milk in my breasts, I just made them suckle my thripple,? she said. ?It was very convenient,? she said. Several women in the audience nodded their heads in agreement.

Legarda, who is reportedly planning to run for president in 2010, also revealed that when she was young, she had felt ?embarrassed? about her extra nipple and never told her friends about it.

?But I?ve since learned to embrace my third nipple as part of who I am,? she said. ?In fact, I am proud of it. Besides, I?m in good company. Carrie Underwood and Mark Wahlberg have thripples too.?

Legarda said she even gave her third nipple a name: ?I named my right nipple ?Ursula,? my left nipple ?Ursa,? and my third nipple is ?

ang kwento ni _____ *

Sa Sicko ni Michael Moore, pinakilala nya si _____ na naputulan ng dalawang nang dumulas yung kahoy na pinuputol nya sa power saw. Walang insurance si _____, kaya naman ganun na lang ang pangamba nila ng kanyang asawa. Sa ospital, binigyan ng 'quote' ang magiging operasyon ni _____. $12,000 para maikabit ang ring finger nya, mas mahal naman ang pag-aayos ng kanyang middle finger na magkakahalagang $60,000.

Tama ang bulas ng asawa ni ____, nakakalungkot na ang bawat parte ng ating katawan ay may ipinataw na palang value (hindi pa talaga halaga, kasi di naman pinahalagahan yun ng mga doktor na magaling rin pala sa math).



*kay _____, paumanhin, di ko matandaan pangalan mo, per malamang di ka rin naman nakakabasa ng Filipino.

Pwede ring i-rate yung rant kung 'I agree, your life is fucked!' o 'you deserve that one.' Wag kayong maniwala kay melanie marquez, masarap palang maging hukom. hehe

At hindi porke't may 'badge not honored' na sign ay di na kayo ginagalang. di lang talaga naipapambili ng bigas ang inyong badge.

O baka naman nahihiya kayo sa kundoktor. Baka iniisip nyo i-reject nya ang bayad nyo. Baka humuhugot sa mapait na nakaraan ang traumang nararanasan nyo, dati na kayo na-reject, ayaw nyo na maulit pa. Kalimutan nyo na ang kung anu mang masamang karanasan patungkol sa rejection. Pupusta ko pamasahe ko, tatanggapin yan ng kundoktor. Naiintindihan ko kayo, minsan kailangan lang talaga nating harapin ang ating takot.

bigla ko lang naisip, ang boring palang gawin pelikula ng buhay ko. siguro di pa lalagpas sa sampung location ang kelangan kunan. tapos yung kwento, baka mapagkamalang indie, kasi boring. pa-artsy kunwa, pero baka nga naman artsy.

hindi pa rin eh.

kelangan gawing interesante ang buhay para di mahirapan ang magiging biographer ko. ang hirap kaya mag-imbento. yung mga di boring ang buhay hirap na ang biographer na pabanguhin at i-posturang santo ang subject, yung boring pa kaya, pero pwede siguro 30 minutes na long short (o ha, imbentuhan lang pala eh, kaya ko rin yan mga teng!) o kaya kalahating pulgada lang laman ng libro.

eh kung magtulak kaya ako? (di pwede, bawal, tsaka ayaw ko makasira ng buhay ng iba) o kaya mangidnap? (ito pwede, pwedeng for hire, pwede ring mala-jigsaw, poblema di ako engineer) o kaya magtayo ng kulto? (mahirap to, pero mas interesante, plan b siguro dito ay i-penetrate ang isang existing na)

sabi ko nga, boring ang miyerkules.
