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.?

Nakuha ni pareng Sartre ang pagdadahilan ko.
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.
marami na basura, wag na dumagdag.

Kung bakit panalo ang batman and robin tandem
batman: "who i am underneath is not important, it is what i do defines who i am."
robin: "... iniisip nila ay di mahalaga, basta mahal kita maging sino ka man."

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."

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.

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?
