Brave heart

Beware the barrenness of a busy life. 

Socrates 

One of the most stunning, death defying stints i've seen on the tube so far. This adventurer cum director has one hell of a courage. Letting not only his countenance but whole being almost piped in to the crater of a volcano is purely one heck of pushing thru the limits. 

I'm trying to put myself in his shoes, yet it weakens my endurance when it comes to close contact heat. I could easily be burnt. (weh! literally and figuratively hehehe).

Take a look at this vid...

After my eyes being glued on that reality adventure, i can't help thinking beyond his courage, what if a mistake was made, out of a sudden his grip got loose on the rope and he spiraled downward into the fire... the magma eating him, chomping his wholeness in an instant, could it be like hell in this earth? Scary!

Cure for the Itch

(this isn't Linkin Park's lyrics)

"A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age. "

William Shakespeare 

Many times i longed for our bodies entwined
In the deepest passion the brain can mime
to hold and touch you so eagerly
that my body aches for thee

Many times i visioned a steamed action
So wanton that coals could melt
That neither water could suppress
Nor dampness could try to recess

And so this time has come
The glorious sparks of thunderous fireworks
of mixed scents to lead a core
where flames of love has to bore

Insanely i indulged further
reaching, arching and fearlessly enjoyed
the ecstasy it brought
the bliss it showered and sought

Alas! i felt numbed and oozed into nothingness
For the tiresome delicacy i tasted
That left my breath almost unchased
That left my mouth dried and unquenched

And then i slowly turned
i could hear the creaking on my bed
and the mattress got into disarray
And so i drew myself up, instantly!

Thinking that somebody must be watching us
I rummaged my face with disbelief
I pinched my arms to reality...
In my dismay... i woke up,
it was only just a dream...

Mama Noorah

"All styles are good except the tiresome kind. "

Voltaire 

It was a Sunday, 3rd of October, my friends and i went to check in at Mama Noorah. Our guts are crying to be filled with grub. Although our neighboring eating houses were KFC (nah! nakakasawa na), Hardees (we dont feel like eating hamburgers at that moment), Friday's (di kaya ng budget) and Applebees (quite expensive) which were all a walking distance from our villa, those four above were ruled out and Mama Noorah had our choice, simply because it's affordable.

As per my buddy Roger, this is just one of their many branches in the Kingdom, it was my first time to dine here, and so my always scrutinizing eyes went popping out by the fruit displays almost  everywhere, artistically designed and passionately decorated amongst the racks and stands with mirrors. (i didn't take shots of it though) but reality wise, the house is almost filled with fruits ranging from oranges, bananas, etc. I couldnt take my eyes off the shakes being made real time - pomegranate, orange, banana, kiwi, strawberry and mixed fruit shakes that left my tastebuds aching. ( i learnt later, that Mama Noorah is best known for its fresh juices)

We settled for a broasted chicken. I'm not really sure why it was called broasted instead of roasted. 

If Jollibee has it's inevitable gravy to match the chicken joy, i realized here that garlic gravy is the partner of chicken. I admit, this garlic thingee is more addicting in complementing the chicken's tender-juicy flesh and cripsy skin.

I think, (i'm not really sure), this one below is a variety of Dhal - topped with olive oil. I learnt that dhal is quite healthy as a source of protein.

Not to say the least, Kuboos (arabic bread) is everywhere here in the Kingdom. Most of the time, a sub for rice. Best eaten when it's hot!!!

We went out from the resto burping. And with smiles. (Next week ulit daw)

The IT Crowd

"If you type google into Google, you can break the internet, so please no one try it! even for  joke"

Jen Barber (IT CROWD)

(SPOILER ALERT: Don't continue reading, mild spoilers ahead)

After 2 days of internet hiatus due to a temporary cut-off in our wifi line, i'm back again in the blogosphere.

Yikes! So i was bored to death during those two days without me connected to the cyberspace (well physically on my laptop eh!). And if you'd ask me how did i managed? I'm thankful to the company of Jen, Moss and Roy from the hit comedy series of Channel 4's the IT CROWD.

It would be an understatement to say that this super duper cool show is addictively flavored with so much wit and amusement that surely tickles the elusive tastes of uninhibited creatures. Well yeah! Before i got overseas, i prolly had watched twice, thrice of the two seasons back then of the IT Crowd. And during the two days off with no wifi in my room, thankfully i had those it crowd videos for the iPhone which then saved me from absolute boredom.

The one's below a classic from Jen and Denholm....

There were six episodes in each season, leaving me with hunger after doing a series marathon of all the episodes. I couldn't stop laughing out so hard and loud literally. Season three is so terrific; sad to say though that Denholm just had one appearance in an episode. His character died in season 2.

For those tv series fanatics who were accustomed and have been indulging so much into drama, crime scene actions and vampire saga love stories; shake up! and mind the other genres of today's hottest comedy team - The IT Crowd. I bet you won't regret after you'd watched an episode.

Folks, i hate to say this but, Jen's expressing of ideas, is just so impressively convincing. Take a look at this.

Tastefully, this comedy series has been my favorite of all time. It's surely an epic. A buster for those lonely moments that you may seem to forget the world for a while.

How Would You Know If Someone Loves You?

"When marrying, ask yourself this question: Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory." 

Friedrich Nietzsche 

Okay stop right there. Your eyebrows are arching already. A close friend PMed me asking ... how do you know if someone loves you? can you tell if inlab na sayo yung tao? 

Without question and beyond doubt, she was referring to a romantic kind of love. I'm no expert when it comes to love and romantic relationships. I only had a few romantic relationship experiences; can be counted in the fingers, so when i tried to answer her question, my thoughts are not in a solitary expression, so i rested my fingers from typing on my keyboard and procrastinated in replying her back.

Hours passed and i'm infront of my screen again, trying to compose and gather my thoughts about the private message. My mind still in chaos, i can't really start my reply, and as if i cannot form the words trying to pop in my head on how to expound and give a clear and sound advice..

So i turned to my blog and here am i. I'd like you to share your thoughts re the above simple inquiry. When it comes to love topic, each of us has their own say, but my opinion really is, when it comes to love in relation to the question above, Love attains its true meaning between the two involved persons when there is a sincere affirmation of vows (i'm not talking about marriage vows)- i'm referring to the expression  of a passionate "i love you" (mostly from the males) and the romantically inclined answer of "i love you too" (from the females). Without those beautiful, emotive and definitive exchange of discourse, love, i guess wouldn't come in full circle. Despite the actions that depict love; despite the fact that action speaks louder than words. When it comes to love, there must be a full closure of verbal communication. Nonetheless, it'd just be an unfinished business - that creates an aftermath of someone hanging on the air. (that situation is kinda hard, isnt it?)

How about you? if you just dropped by on this blog and reading, might as well share your thoughts, I'm hoping that your responses would give peace and sobriety if not enlightenment to the really simple  yet meaningful question posted. Ciao.
