Kany García, cantante puertorriqueña [May. 17th, 2008|02:29 am]

goodboi
[es] Durante la semana pasada, mientras me preparaba para ir al trabajo, vi en Univisión un video musical que me encantó mucho. En ese video titulado ¿Qué nos pasó? canta Kany García de Puerto Rico. Según Wikipedia, su padre es español que dejó de ser sacerdote para casarse con la madre de Kany. wow.

En todo caso, el video está abajo, pero no es el video original. YouTube tiene el video original pero no permite, tal vez por razones de derecho de autor, insertarlo en otros sitios web. El enlace es: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opC_f7L9WV0 donde se pueden ver otras canciones suyas que también son tan buenas.



[en] Sometime last week while I was getting ready for work, I saw a music video on Univision that I really liked. The title of the song is ¿Qué nos pasó? (What happened to us?) sung by Puerto Rican singer Kany García. Wikipedia says her dad's from Spain and that he quit being a priest to marry Kany's mom. wow.

Anyway the video is above but it's not the original. YouTube has the original video but doesn't allow embedding, probably cuz of copyright. The link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opC_f7L9WV0 - and you can see the rest of her videos.

super duper amazing great day [May. 16th, 2008|12:35 pm]

jekert

hehe.

today was our sportsfest and i had a hell of a blast. during college i stopped participating in activities that had something to do with kusug and paugnat. but today, i felt so alive. joining all those events made me feel so high. hehe. yep, in the end, we were the lowest ranked group but i can truly say we played the HARDEST. haha. true to it's name, our team, Cotton Candy (don't ask me why the hell we're called that - and yes our team color is PINK!), we may seem soft but we play hard. we worked together as a team, bonded more with the entire group, and had fun.

i joined three events, tug of war (which lasted for like a second..haha), shootfest (takeshi's castle kind of game where you shoot each other with water guns) and the oh so exhausting, exhilirating, most kapoy but lingaw event of all, the obstacle race.

the tug of war game was a bore. because we weren't a match for any of the teams. haha. well, i'm not making excuses but around 70 of the population in accounts payable are girls. and they had big guys lined up in front. with just one pull, we were hopeless.

now the shootfest game was something i didn't expect it to be. it's a game played by pairs. i was half of the pair representing the men's division for our team. the set-up is on a pool, on an inflatable boat - one paddles while the other shoots at the opponent's paper-thingie target until they're destroyed. reminds me a lot of takeshi's castle. so yeah, the targets are attached to our heads and we are to shoot those of our enemies until we're the last ones left. to cut the story short, we managed to end the game with our target in tact. victorious at last. sad to say, that was the only event where we got 1st place in. hehe. but it was so much fun. i played like a kid. hehe. after which, i swam in the pool for a while because i haven't gone swimming in a loooong time.

although it was in the shootfest where we were victorious, the obstacle game proved to be the most exciting and exhausting of all. it rained on our sportsfest by the way but we didn't care if we got dirty. we swam through mud and dirt (on the inflatable obstacle course..hehe). i liked this game because we all worked as a team. we had to interact with each other, think up strategies to end the race faster than the other team, and complain about our dirty clothes and bruises. but it was in this game where we really bonded as a group. no such thing as team leaders or band 2s. haha. we were all equals doing our best to win. unfortunately, we didn't win any of the 4 rounds of the obstacle event. some got sprained, some slid and got hurt, but it was all worth it.

of course there were other games that were very exciting as well. there's the volleyball match were we keep on ALMOST winning but never do. we had the paintball event where we won every round except for the finals match (oh how unlucky we are), there's the flag football, the velcro event, boat race and swimming. i can only wish i joined them all. if i knew they would be so much fun, i would've signed up for all of the events. hehe. oh well, there's always next year. my first sportsfest in P&G was a blast. i still can't get over it right now, actually. too bad i didn't have too many pictures because stupid me forgot the SD card on my laptop. hahay. oh well.

sorry, i only have 2 decent pictures on my camera. hehe. and i'm not even in them. i will be uploading an entire album once i am able to grab a copy of the pictures from my teammates.

gay marriage in california [May. 16th, 2008|01:02 am]

goodboi
Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard that the Supreme Court in California struck down the gay marriage ban. Needless to say, I'm overjoyed.

It was quite unexpected. I heard yesterday that they were gonna rule on it then I kinda forgot about it. Then while I was on break at work, I checked my e-mail and Yahoo Mail mentioned it. I was like YES!!!

What a very close decision.. 4-3. BUT, it's pretty amazing since 6 out of the 7 justices were appointed by Republicans. And ONE of the dissenting justices was gay friendly but said "Californians should allow our gay and lesbian neighbors to call their unions marriages." So yeah, I don't want to hear any shit about activist judges or legislating from the bench or whatever.

Former Seattlite and current SF resident [info]jameth (who is running for a spot on LJ advisory board hint hint) was at the press conference at San Francisco City hall. He took some pics of the event available below:

And he got a closeup of Mayor Gavin Newsom. yum.

#165 - Oh, how I weep...with laughter. [May. 15th, 2008|09:30 pm]

From MSNBC: Museum displays big and small family jewels

HUSAVIK, Iceland - Sigurdur Hjartarson is missing a human penis. But he's not worried: four men have promised to donate theirs to him when they die.

Hjartarson is founder and owner of the Icelandic Phallological Museum, which offers visitors from around the world a close-up look at the long and the short of the male reproductive organ.

His collection, which began in 1974 with a single bull's penis that looked something like a riding crop, now boasts 261 preserved members from 90 species.


The article describes the museum as "part science lab, part trophy room." Trophy room, eh? Here's what I want to know - is there a day where people decorate the mounted cocks with sunglasses, paper streamers, and party hats? Because that would be pretty loltastic.

Also, this museum would make a pretty...interesting...set for a porno movie.

ACEN tomorrow!

[Current Mood | groggy]

(First read on Making Light. Also on Firedoglake.)

In response to Obama's overwhelmingly popular platform of change, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) unveiled its new campaign slogan: "The Change You Deserve."

Barring all semantic issues with the phrase (ranging from images of fat cats tossing a nickel to a homeless person begging for change to the illogic of "wait, but your party's incumbent right now, so...?" and other such exercises of morbid imaginations), it's also problematic because the phrase is already being used to market the antidepressant Effexor:

The Change You Deserve™

Are these symptoms of depression interfering with your life?

  • Not involved with family and friends the way you used to be?
  • Low energy, fatigue?
  • Not motivated to do the things you once looked forward to doing?
  • Not feeling as good as you used to?

Not exactly inspiring, is it? Especially when you consider that the drug's been under a Black Box Warning for promoting suicidal tendencies since (oh, the irony) 2004.

What Katlyn Means



You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.

You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip.

People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.



You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.

You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.

You have the classic "Type A" personality.




You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.

You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.

You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.



You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.

You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.

Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.



You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.

You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.

You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.



You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.

You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.

You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.




The parts in italics are generally the ones that I kind of don't agree with. I mean, they may be true, but there are certain.. points of contention, I guess.

To tell you the truth, I don't think I remember being really deep in thought these past few years, except this year maybe. I don't know. I used to write so much, and read about so much, but I guess that changed when I came here. Maybe the daily struggle of having to get through every day of school, and work, and just being away from home in general kind of took up my.. thinking space. And while I say "struggle", it wasn't as hard as this word connotes. I suppose I'm just naturally.. nomadic? Haha, okay, not quite the right word. But yeah being alone out here wasn't as tough for me as it was for others. I could understand, but never fully empathize, with most people who chose to give up their stay here and go back home. But that's another story for another day.

I think I used to be a quite stuck-up kid; I felt like I had things going on better for me than other kids, for the most part. I didn't work that hard in school, but I did pretty damn well all the same, and I suppose I thought that gave me some sort of right to have a bit of an attitude problem. So it's kind of crazy how much I've mellowed out since then. I don't know how it happened. I don't think I'd be friends with the (lower) primary school me. Actually I'm not sure if I'd be good friends with the me now, but for entirely different reasons (I'm not particularly interesting, for starters). But yeah I bet plenty of kids hated me when I was much younger haha. Anyway. I'd much rather have been stuck-up then than now, of course. You might be able to say that I take a certain.. pride in my laidback-ness (I hope I'm not sounding stuck-up now, hahaha); I treasure the ability to not get worked up over most things. But I guess the downside is that I'm so non-perfectionist, unagressive and unauthoritative, like if there's a Type A I'm most definitely a Type X or something, it's a little hard for me to step up to the plate when circumstances call for it. I hope to change this though (for the better) when I go away to college. Completely different environment, I wonder how I'll be swimming when thrown into the ocean?



In the same way that I relish the experience of travelling/commuting to places alone, solitary bus rides and train journeys, sometimes looking and thinking about the people I see, the people around me, but more often than not just staring into nothing and blocking out everything except the music I'm listening to/looking at... the idea that I'm neither here nor there, that everything's passing me by so fast--there's both relief, and regret, as the bus doors slide open, but it all somehow dissipates as soon as I step out and onto the curb.

#163 - This thing is eerily accurate. [May. 11th, 2008|09:21 pm]

reileen
[Tags|]
[Current Mood | sick]
[Current Music |"Misery" - Green Day]

From ColorQuiz.com. Italicized the things that are especially relevant.

-

Your Existing Situation
Easily affected by her environment and readily moved by the emotions of others. Seeks congenial relationships and an occupation which will promote them.

Your Stress Sources
The situation is regarded as threatening or dangerous. Resentful that what she has striven so hard for is being menaced, and disparate because she feels powerless to prevent it--fears that she is going to miss out altogether. Unable to view the situation objectively, but extremely agitated and cannot rest in her attempts to remove this threat to her desires. Over-extended and feels beset, possibly to the point of nervous prostration.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Emotionally inhibited. Feels forced to compromise, making it difficult for her to form a stable emotional attachment. Feels trapped in a distressing or uncomfortable situation and seeking some way of gaining relief. Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity providing no turmoil or emotional agitation is involved.

Your Desired Objective
Wants to make a favorable impression and be rewarded as a special personality. Is therefore constantly on the watch to see whether she is succeeding in this and how others are reacting to her. This makes her feel that she is in control. Uses tactics cleverly in order to obtain influence and special recognition. Susceptible to the esthetic or original.

Your Actual Problem
Has a fear that she might be prevented from achieving the things she wants. This leads her to employ great personal charm in her dealings with others, hoping that this will make it easier for her to reach her objectives.

Your Actual Problem #2
Depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation, or demands on her resources. This feeling of powerlessness subjects her to agitation and acute distress. She attempts to escape into a substitute world in which things are more nearly as she desires them to be.

-

I've taken this quiz before, and I'm pretty sure these weren't the results I got back then. And the quiz was still pretty accurate back then, too.

*goes back to reading Frank Rich's The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall of Truth in Bush's America, even though she probably should be sleeping*

someone pinch me. [May. 11th, 2008|10:40 am]

jinra
Seriously.
Am I dreaming? Pinch me.

It's hard to wrap my head around the direction my life has taken since I've graduated from college -- A YEAR AGO. Did I really travel throughout Korea and the Philippines? Did I really dedicate 3 months of my life to domestic servitude while mom was recovering from surgeries? Only to brain fart immediately after for a few months? And then casually apply for jobs? Only to score a (paid) PR agency internship? Am I really going to sit through a meeting that will determine the fate of my PR career this Monday at 9:45 a.m.?!

Is this really happening?

I'm excited. The outcome of Monday morning -- no matter what it is, it's gonna be good. If I score a full-time gig as an account coordinator,  I hope you clear your calendars for next weekend, because the celebration has to be one of epic proportions. If I get the boot, then...well shit, son. I have me some experience! And the validation that this is DEFINITELY what I want to get myself into. That, I think, warrants a reason to party. (But I won't lie, I'll be partying extra hard if I get the job.)

That aside, I'm also excited about Mother's Day. I booked my mom and I a day at the Korean spa around here.

#162 - Vomitorium For Christ! [May. 10th, 2008|08:11 pm]

[Tags|, ]

From Daily Kos, by the inimitable, tireless, and courageous [info]dogemperor: When the spiritual advisor of a presidential candidate (Republican John McCain) runs a church that pings nearly every item on at least four different respected "checklists for coercion" and is basically on the same level as or even worse than the churches run by Scientology or the Moonies, you have a BIG FUCKING PROBLEM.

Did you know that there are demons for handwriting analysis and anal fissures? No, seriously.

(If you're interested in finding out more, be sure to check out DE's main Daily Kos blog - he's posted a number of entries recently regarding the infiltration of one of John Hagee's church retreats by one of Rolling Stone's journalists. It's true that Taibbi's article has a bit of a snarky tone to it, but DE, who grew up in this type of atmosphere for at least 25 years before finally breaking away from it, was able to confirm Taibbi's observations about what went on at the retreat and what it did to people.)

***

I was out today with Melissa and Lauren for our usual "Beat-the-ACEN-mob-to-the-Pocky-and-other-snacks" trip to Mitsuwa Marketplace, a Japanese marketplace up on the North Side. Intrigued by Kagura's (from Gintama) fascination with sukonbu, I went and bought some, but it looks like I bought the konbu for making soup stock with, not the snack kind. Whoops. Well, now I have something I can possibly experiment with using my meager cooking skills.

Did you know that there are apple-flavored KitKats? No, seriously. I bought one. Haven't tasted it yet, though.

The Big Bang Theory is <3

More Quotes:
Sheldon: Maybe tomorrow, we can go to one of those big warehouse stores.
Penny: I don't know, Sheldon, it's gonna take me a while to recover from all the fun I had today.
Sheldon: Are you sure? There are a lot of advantages to buying in bulk. For example, I noticed that you purchase your tampons one month's supply at a time.
Penny: What?
Sheldon: Well, think about it--it's a product that doesn't spoil, and you're going to be needing them for at least the next 30 years.
Penny: You want me to buy 30 years' worth of tampons?
Sheldon: Well, 30, 35...when did your mother go into menopause?
Penny: Okay, I'm not talking about this with you.
Sheldon: Penny, this is a natural human process, and we're talking about statistically significant savings. Now, if you assume 15 tampons per cycle in a 28-day cycle--are you fairly regular? [Penny shuts door of her apartment] Okay, no warehouse store, but we're still on for putt-putt golf, right?
============
Leslie: Listen, neither of us are neuroscientists, but we both understand the biochemistry of sex. I mean, dopamine in our brains is released across synapses, causing pleasure. You stick electrodes in a rat's brain, give him an orgasm button, he'll push that thing until he starves to death.
Leonard: Well, who wouldn't?
Leslie: Well, the only difference between us and the rat is that you can't stick an electrode in our hypothalamus. That's where you come in.
============
Sheldon: I'm uncomfortable having been included in your lie to Penny.
Leonard: What was I supposed to say?
Sheldon: You could have told her the truth.
Leonard: That would have hurt her feelings.
Sheldon: Is that a relevant factor?
Leonard: Yes.
Sheldon: Then I suppose you could have agreed to go.
Leonard: And what would I have said afterwards?
Sheldon: I would suggest something to the effect of: singing is neither an appropriate vocation nor avocation for you, and if you disagree I'd recommend you have a CAT scan to look for a tumor pressing on the cognitive processing centers of your brain.
Leonard: I couldn't say that. I would have to say, "you were terrific and I can't wait to hear you sing again."
Sheldon: Why?
Leonard: That's the social protocol. It's what you do when you have a friend who's proud of something they really suck at.
Sheldon: I was not aware of that.
Leonard: Now you are.
Sheldon: Oh. All right. Leonard?
Leonard: Yes?
Sheldon: When we played chess earlier, you were terrific, and I can't wait to play you again.
============
Penny: Do you have any idea what time it is?
Sheldon: Of course I do. My watch is linked to the atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. It's accurate to one-tenth of a second. But as I'm saying this, it occurs to me that, once again, your question may have been rhetorical.
============
              Sheldon: Engineering—where the semi-skilled laborers execute the vision of those who think and dream. Hello                                     Oompa-Loompas of science.
