LoVeRs iN LRT

nagsimula ang lahat sa pagkakasabay sa isang train station... ang minsan ay naging madalas... hanggang sa dumating ang araw na naging paulit-ulit na ang gawaing ito... wala namang problema, dahil magkapareho sila ng oras ng pag-pasok at pag-uwi dahil sila ay magkaklase... ang dating asaran ay unti-unting napapalitan ng tawanan at kilitiian... nagkasundo kahit dati'y halos magkapikunan kapag nagaasaran... patunay lamang na ang paguusap ng madalas ay nakakapagpabago ng pagkakakilanlan sa isa't isa... natuklasan nila ang mga positibong bagay ng bawat isa... sinimulang intindihin ang dati'y hindi maintindihang personalidad... isa-isang tinimbang at napatunayang nagkakatugma ang kanilang nararamdaman...

sa una'y hindi mapapansin ang kanilang unti-unting pagbabago... ngunit nang isang araw... bumuhos ang malakas na ulan... nagalala ang isa dahil baka hindi siya makapasok sa kanyang klase... naghintay... naghintay... maya-maya'y isang taong may daladalang payong ang dumating... nagulat ang kasama ng naghihintay... nagsuspetya... inanalisa ang sitwasyon... binalikan ang mga pangyayari... at natuklasang ang dating pagsaba'y sabay sa paguwi ay nadagdagan pa pala ng paulit-ulit na pagkakasabay sa pagpasok... wala namang problema kung paminsan minsan... ngunit ito ay naging paulit-ulit... ano kayang misteryo ang bumabalot sa kanila...

ang mga tao sa kanilang paligid ay nagbigay ng kanilang mga haka-haka... mga balitang mas mabilis pa sa dyaryo ang pagkalat... ang iba'y hindi naniniwala... ang iba'y nagalit sa pangingialam ng ibang tao... ang iba nama'y napagisip... ano nga ba ang katotohanan... totoo bang may isang pagtitinginang nabubuo sa pagitan ng dalawang taong ito?...

ang iba'y sa kagustuhang matuklasan ang katotohan... pilit silang pinapaamin... ngunit kapwa sila nagmatigas... ngunit nang isang araw na nagkaroon ng pagtitipon ang buong klase... ang mga haka-haka ay biglang naging malinaw... dahil muli... kahit na magkaiba at magkalayo ang pinanggalingan... sila'y magkasabay paring dumating sa lugar ng pagtitipon... at lalong tumibay ang ebidensya ng mga haka-haka dahil sa kabila ng mga pangaasar ng mga tao sa paligid... sila'y laging magkasama saan man magpunta ang isa... kulang na nga lang ay langgamin sila... sino sila?... ewan... vwahahaha...

Jason Mraz... one of my favorite music artists is back again in the music scene with his latest album entitled "Mr. A-Z" along with it's carrier single "Wordplay"(listen)... in the music video (watch) of this single, Mraz showed the funny side of his life... it was so darn good that you'll eventually find yourself laughing out loud especially before the video ends when blood squirts out of his shoulder... the lyrics of this song really described the personality of Jason... but who the heck is Jason Mraz? just read this biography, coming from the man himself:
Jason MrazAs biographies go, I should tell you about where and how I was raised in Mechanicsville, Virginia. I should tell you how I manifested my creative wild side while my parents were busy divorcing, working, and remarrying. I should explain the kinds of pop music I listened to, whether it was on the oldies stations or the same explosive jam stations that presented star-studded skate nights in my rural community rinks. It would be wise to mention a minor stint in musical theatre before picking up the guitar in those Big Apple college years, as well as discuss what eventually brought my C average up to an A when I found a voice to follow which eventually carried my heart and soul to the salty streets of San Diego. It’s a good story really, but it’s been told time and time again and I’m about tired of answering questions about the mischievous psychic in central park. It turns out he was really just a homeless guy asking for a dollar and I accidentally shook his hand and began an eternal trip down hallucination lane. Since then it seems I haven’t been able to come down from the cosmic absurdity that surrounds my song and chance. What’s most important to this bio is the understanding that at the end of the day, despite my whereabouts and disposition, I always did it my way.
Does a bio have to be only about the past? Couldn’t it reflect something more immediate and present? Could a bio be used to tell the future? Either way you look at it, it doesn’t change my appearance. I am who I am and you are who you are and everything else is a perception based on acceptance, deception, smoke, mirrors, and so on. It’s everything in between us that seems to justify our accidental identities. Does that make sense?
In summary, a perfect bio would read. Jason Mraz is from space.
Jason Mraz on his latest album:
“MR. A-Z” is my pseudo-self-titled second album. It definitely sounds like a sequel to my first album, “WAITING FOR MY ROCKET TO COME,” only this time I used a slightly different octane of rocket fuel and had a greater amount of time to prepare its launch. Though I’ve collaborated with both my touring band and people whose influences have always affected my musical ear – such as my producer Steve Lillywhite – this album is all Mraz from beginning to end, from alpha to omega, from the frontal lobe to the reptilian membrane… from A to Z. Thus I’ve assigned it the nomenclature it naturally desired and deserved: “MR. A-Z.”
“MR. A-Z” is 365 days of Mraz in just under an hour. The album took exactly a year to make, from the day the first word was scripted in January 2004 to mastering in January 2005, giving the whole affair a true four-season feel. These 12 songs recognize the events of my last few years, in which I left the coffee houses where I was raised and was thrust into the theatre and arena circuit with the success of “Remedy.” I’m pretty sure this album will please audiences from both my caffeinated roots as well as those from my recently discovered Red Bull-and-beer-chugging jam band scene.
While the reality-based tongue-in-cheek wordsmith of “…ROCKET…” is back again, I also wanted this album to suggest that I was ready to reveal a little more about myself. The stories within these songs find your humble King of Denial having a go at my own placement in relationships lost and found again, in the ever-changing music business, as a geek and an artist and at times a controversially unpopular smoker just trying to breathe freely.
Let’s just say that, taken collectively, the songs on “MR. A-Z” represent a specific time in my life. After all, a recording is ultimately a record of an event that took place only once. Thus, “…ROCKET…” had a freshman’s perspective on life and love – admittedly, with a bit of an unabashed know-it-all mentality. On “MR. A-Z,” I’m posing as the more appropriate sophomore, unafraid to admit my mistakes, good-natured in my verbal attacks, yet still hanging on to enough of that sophomoric angle to avoid playing it safe. This is most certainly an album that I can happily put on my application as I approach my graduation…
Jason Mraz on his carrier single:
One of my goals was to allow my wisdom and perspective to resonate though a humorous persona that until now I’d only used in the live experience. A song like “Wordplay” is one of many born as a joke, meaning the writing exercise was full of laughs and great fun while it was being created. It is the first single and is meant to sound exactly as so. It’s a straight satire on what a first single should sound like. Once you get past the initial shock of the song’s pop velocity, you’ll find a soft center composed by a happy little boy making a masterful mockery of his own agenda, beating the average critic to the punch, if I do say so myself.
What i love about Jason Mraz is his own unique style of music. Because whenever you here his songs, you can always plainly tell that the person singing is really having fun singing it. His music style is explained in the lyrics of Wordplay:
I try to keep a jumble
And the lyrics never mumble
When the music's makin' people tongue-tied

just finished the Naruto movie volume 1 entitled "It's the Yukihime's(Snow Princess) ninja arts book!!"... but i'm a little disappointed about it because probably i've expected too much... i thought i'll see some new moves from naruto and sasuke... and i thought sakura will become much stronger and will finally fight all her heart out, just like her other teammates... but nothing really exceptional happened, except for the new moves that their enemies showed which eventually was copied by kakashi using his sharingan... it seems like it's just one of it's tv series, or maybe the tv series is much more fun to watch...

looking on the brighter side... probably the creators tried to leave from the plot of the main story but are too carefull so as not to disrupt the flow of the entire naruto series (tv series) because basically, this movie was set between Naruto returning from training with Jiraiya and Sasuke’s departure from the team. If you don't know what i'm talking about, here's a very brief summary of the story of naruto: (episode 1 upto 130's and up)
Twelve years ago, the hidden leaf village of Konoha was under attack by Kyuubi, a fearsome demon fox. Unable to defeat the beast, Yondaime, the Fourth Hokage, sealed it away in the body of an infant.
That boy is Naruto, who survived and grew, feared by his fellow villagers. This isolation instilled him with a passion to be recognized as the greatest fighter. His ambition is to become the Hokage, master ninja of Konoha.
Though Naruto is slow at using his powers, the fox demon grants him inhuman stamina. Coupled with his natural determination, Naruto graduates to becoming a Genin, the first level of ninja.
For his training, he is grouped with Sakura, a precocious female ninja, and Sasuke, the sole remaining member of the Uchiha tribe.
The team begins at odds. Naruto is immediately jealous that Sakura is so enamored with the brooding Sasuke, and bitter that ninjitsu (the art of channeling chakra energy into attacks) comes so easily to both his teammates.
However, under their teacher Kakashi, the three Genin learn to work together, and soon progress to the Chuunin exams.
Here they meet a variety of other ninja from the surrounding countries of Sand, Sound, and Mist.
Though the exam is meant to strengthen relation between countries, it becomes the catalyst for Orochimaru, an exiled ninja, to initiate war. Using ninja from the country of Sand and Sound, Orochimaru infiltrates the exam, and kills Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, current leader of Konoha. As Sarutobi’s ex-student, Orochimaru wants nothing more than to see Konoha in turmoil, and Hokage fall from grace.
Though he is one of the three Sennin, great ninja from Konoha, Orochimaru doesn’t escape the battle against the Third Hokage unscathed. His arms are disabled, leading him to seek out his fellow Sennin, Tsunade, who is an expert healer.
Seeing what a fiend Orochimaru has become, Tsunade does not agree to treat him. Instead, she joins her old teammate Jiraiya (the final Sennin) and Naruto. Tsunade is inducted as the new Hokage of Konoha, leading the battle against Orochimaru and the Sound 5 ninja.
However, Orochimaru’s aims change. As his body has been damaged, he seeks to capture Sasuke and possess him. Hungry for power, Sasuke agrees. Sasuke joins Orochimaru because he is impatient to kill his brother, Itachi.
Itachi killed his own family, and the entire Uchiha tribe, leaving only Sasuke alive. Exiled from the hidden villages, Itachi is now a rogue ninja, part of the feared
organization of Akatsuki. This group is after Naruto for the demon within him.
Though Naruto pursues Sasuke, nearly losing control of Kyuubi, he is nearly killed by his friend. Sasuke believes murdering Naurto will grant him power, but when the opportunity presents itself, he can’t bring himself to slaughter Naruto.
Once he’s recovered from the battle, Naruto, Jiraiya and Sakura infiltrate Orochimaru’s base to reclaim Sasuke.
and for those who haven't seen the movie, here's a summary of it:

Naruto Movie Volume 1 The fame of actress Fujikaze Yukie is sweeping the country. Known as the character "Princess Fuun", she is adored by millions. However, she doesn’t appreciate her glory. She scoffs at fans that ask for autographs, and refuses to film in the Snow Country. Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura are hired to be Yukie’s bodyguards. She tries to avoid them, but Naruto, as always, is determined to do his job as a ninja. Yukie is taken by force to The Snow Country, where she continues to try to escape. Soon it becomes clear that it isn’t simple contempt for fame that’s making her run: Yukie is a true princess. When she was young, her brother attacked his own family in order to claim the thrown. Yukie fled and lived as an actress for many years. She has no interest in returning and saving her homeland from her brother’s tyrannical reign. But her manager, the ex-councilor for the Snow Country, believes that Yukie is the rightful heir, and fights for her at the cost of his life. While Yukie’s brother sees no threat from her because she is so apathetic toward the country, he kidnaps her and Naruto in order to secure the Hexagonal Ice Crystal. This crystal is said to be the key to the Snow Country’s greatest weapon. Yukie hands over the crystal without question. Though she is bitter and resentful toward the Snow Country, seeing Naruto fight so valiantly for her begins to warm Yukie’s heart. At the last moment, she attacks her brother. He is undamaged, and quickly escapes so he can use the Hexagonal Crystal to unlock the Snow Country’s weapon. Though Naruto pursues him, Yukie’s brother succeeds, and uses the key. However, what the key unlocks is not a weapon at all. It is a natural generator that warms the village. The harsh landscape becomes green, and Naruto defeats Yukie’s brother, allowing her to take her rightful place on the throne. Understanding what it means to take responsibility, Yukie becomes a kind leader to her country, as well as continuing her acting career.
