of theories & ironies

DISCLAIMER | CAUTION: Ideas may appear closer to home than they actually are. Not everything is about me and/or the people i know. it doesnt matter if you can or cant relate. and yea, this disclaimer almost dont mean shit hehe.

The Betterman Irony

Julius and Athena are together.
Plato tried to court Athena.
Athena rejects Plato and stays with Julius.
Athena gets angry with Julius.
The two eventually separates.
Athena and Plato meets again.
Athena takes Plato this time.

The Mother-Love-Bone Theory

Women have an inborn motherly instinct, that one of their purpose in life is to take care of lost or problematic souls. to make their life better. 8 out 10 men know this and use this theory to get into women’s hearts and/or pants. and most of the time it works. some of the standard lines are “help me im so lost and frustrated”, “im so glad you are here and we can relate to each other” and “you are the only one that can save me”. hehehe.

The Hear-Say Irony

He told her about the 6th floor story.
But she didn’t told him about the 15th floor irony.

The Turned-Out Irony

Julius and Athena are together.
Plato tries to court Athena.
Athena ignores Plato and stays with Julius.
The two eventualy separates.
Julius meets Magdalene and liked her.
Julius learns Magdalene had something with Plato.
Julius gets turned off.
Plato learns Julius and Athena broke up.
Athena and Plato meets again.
Athena takes Plato this time.
Julius and Magdalene stays as friends.

The First-Blood Theory

Most things that started the wrong way will end the hard way. But some do get away with it. Then again, like the saying what goes around comes around, that wrong start can and will happen to you too eventually, and you will have your own hard end.

The Selfserving Irony

Aaron tells Jake that he cares for Naomi as a friend and that she deserves to be happy.
Aaron implies that they both should let Naomi have a peaceful life with Donovan.
Jake feels the same and agrees.
But Aaron wont accept reality in secret and falls into an strategically announced self-destruction.
Naomi gets trapped and continues to be with Aaron and Donovan.
Jake smiles and wish all of them luck.

The You-Dont-Know-Shit Theory

Sometimes, we find ourselves frustrated and furious over other people. The nosey ones. We think they should just mind their own goddamn warehouses. The unneeded critiques. The unnecessary criticisms. Some people can handle this, some cant. And those that cant are affected because of two reasons, its either because they care too much on what others are saying or because what they are saying are mostly true.

thresher sharky, malapascua island

so here’s the 2 minute clip of the thresher shark dive we did last saturday morning at monad shoal, the spot which has put the island on the diving map. its a 30 minute boat ride from the island and most dives are made in the early morning. at 1:30 of the video clip, you’ll see the 12 foot shark getting really close to me, musta been curious with all of us divers blowin up bubbles down there hehehe…

and here’s a professional take on the thresher shark and malapascua island. this one is by an underwater cinematographer and naturalist, Jonathan Bird for his Blue World TV. nice ey? :D

OST of the last 5 days

bino, dell and the ape… we covered a tiring-but-always-crazy-excitingly-long mileage on these recent 5 days. on foot, on ceres buses and sleepy ro-ros, on rip-off tiny and dangerous boat transfers, on comfy dive boats, on cheap air carriers, on habal-habals, on weird trikes and on fins… and throughout all these means of transpo and varying hours of traveltime, a bucketful of good tunes really do come in handy and makes the run even more surreal… eto yung mga mp3s na ginasgas ng tenga ko buong trip, baka sakaling isang araw tumakbo rin kayo, try nyo ang ilan dito :)311 - Stealing Happy Hours
