While I’m totally digging the last few pairs of fancy-pants footwear I’ve picked up in the last few months, I am in the mood for something really offensive.

WHAT IF…

I could have a bespoke pair made just for myself.

It would look like a pair of Crocs.

But be made of the same material as Uggs.

I would call them Cruggs, and I swear to God if I wore them to Embassy I would get my ass totally beaten down by a swarm of fashionistas armed with broken bottles of Stella Artois. Am trying to figure out if having three broken ribs, a concussion, multiple contusions, and massive internal hemorrhaging would be a fair trade-off for the divine comfort my tootsies would be treading in…

I feel old.

(1) My baby sister’s high school batchmate is an OJT here at the Agency.

(2) My benchpress is back down to 40kg, from 110kg three years ago.

(3) I’m on the organizing committee for our 10th year high school homecoming. (Is it even manly to call an exclusive boys’ school reunion a “homecoming”? For some reason, it sounds very fruity.)

What I wouldn’t give to have more hair, a spry, youthful, virile body, and lots of colorful sneakers…

I am quite certain that I am not the only one who felt that “A Very Special Love” rocked harder than “You Changed My Life“, but Lloydie is still eighteen degrees of awesome.

I have still to master the trademark John Lloyd lip-biting-while-smiling (perfecting “Blue Steel”, “Magnum”, “Ferrari” and “Le Tigre” were much easier), but have the Wayfarers and enough sockless loafer moments to pull of a convincing imitation of the dude.

(Except of course for the fact that I’m about 180 pounds heavier, have more hair on my chest than on my head, and not quite as cute)

Sarah Geronimo is the kind of girl you want to gang-bang, with all of you wearing nothing but socks.

I am quite amused that the home office for Flip Page, the Montenegro publishing house in the movie, was situated at King’s Court on Pasong Tamo. That’s where our clients from The Coca-Cola Company hold office, and it was so surreal seeing it featured on film with a giant “M” on the building fascia, instead of the usual “K”.

Kaya pala nag-renovate sila ng lobby…

It bothers me incredibly that I cannot find any reasonably credible information on Sharon Cuneta’s epic cinematic masterpiece from 1981, “P.S. I Love You”.

I am told that Gabby Concepcion’s character was named “Mark De Joya” in it, no doubt inspired by my birth just the year before.

Wikipedia and iMDB are no help.

If anybody would have access to a copy of the said movie on VCD or DVD, I would love to borrow it, although at this point I am quite confident that the only copies of the film still in public circulation would either be on Betamax or VHS, neither one of which remains to be part of the MDJ Superstar Extravagantly Outrageously Expensive Home Theater 5000…

No wonder Ate Shawie was so nice when I got her as an endorser for Lady’s Choice Mayonnaise all those years ago – I brought back memories of her puppy love days. People do say that I remind them of Gabo, especially from certain angles (behind), seen at a certain distance (4.5 kilometers).

CREATE YOUR BAND NAME & ALBUM COVER:

To Do This:

1.

Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random” or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2.

Go to Quotations Page and select “random quotations” or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.

3.

Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days” or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4.

Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together.

5.

Post it to Facebook (or, in my case, this blogsite) with this text in the “caption” or “comment” and TAG the friends you want to join in.

I confess that I kind of like how mine turned out.

“Hotel Kazakhstan” sounds like an independent European super-group from the late 1980′s. For some reason, I imagine a blend between Spandau Ballet/Jefferson Starship/David Bowie/Air Supply playing in my head…

“Through Another Person” sounds incredibly profound and poignant – like something John Tesh, Barry Manilow, or Meatloaf would use as an album title.

And my album cover – a poodle jumping over a log! OMGZ. The abstract symbolism blows my (admittedly not very large) mind!

Welcome to Hotel Kazakhstan – you can check in any time you like, but you can never leave, maricon!
