yayoireito:

This moment is a very treasured one.

I assure you, that book was wrapped in dust-free plastic the very minute I got home.

I cannot describe to you the overwhelming joy I felt. Only this man can give that to me.

My one and only wish: Sir, please adopt me.

Oh, Dr. Baytan.

Such a strange and wonderful person you are.

The 100 Best Games to Play Today | Edge Online:

Indeed, it is never about the system, it is about the ludology, the art of the game.

And, if I may say so, Shigeru Miyamoto is the Leonardo of this age and of this medium

In Fallout 3, there is a town called Megaton, and there is a sheriff.

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:08:28 +0800

There’s a guy in the bar who wanted to hire me to destroy the town using the undetonated bomb that’s been stuck in the town for a long time. I said no and told the sheriff. When the sheriff confronted the guy, the guy shot the sheriff.

He was a very nice man. Gave a lot of good information.

I am very upset.

It’s just a video game, but, well, he was a friend.

(I told you video games are important to me.)

Sabi mo sa akin friends nalang tayo. Close friends. Sabi mo pa, “Masmaganda pa nga yun eh! Friends last. :)” Sabi mo yan. Grabe, hindi naman naglast e. Di na tayo nag-uusap. Wala lang. May masabi lang.

Holding on to past things is the worst part of loss.

I shall be off now, good men; pretty ladies.

Whichever direction this night takes me, know that I will most probably be happily drunk and be drunk on happiness.

Drink up me hearties, yo-ho.

Pirate stereotyping is a now a serious social concern.

Cosmic Latte

In the empty highways we stare at the fireworks
and hold hands as neon flowers bloom in the sky.

The ground shakes with the charging turks
and we hear their powerful battle cry.

The stars are holes, the clouds, God’s breath,
the car’s running motor the cosmos’ sigh.

Another trip around the sun reminds us:
Someday we die, Today we die, Someday we die.

A lot of people aspire to be writers, but don't really study writing, even informally, nor do they even practice.

It irritates me.

‘Tis a whine.

This is my friend Moku speaking about her mother.

Let me remind you she studies in DLSU-M, an expensive and prestigious school, and she has a Mac laptop. She has an iPod. She has a cellphone. Moreover, she has a house. She eats three times a day. They have electricity. All this is paid for by her mother. She does not have a father. To say that her mother should die, even when she is angry, that is just disgusting to me. Especially considering her mother pays for her education and necessities. She would be dead without her mother.

In a magical world, we simply whine and everything gets better. Sadly, this is not a magical world.

I think you should have just told her about how you felt with regards her post. Or at least erased her name or something. I’m just saying.

I did tell her.

And her name is neither Waltfeld nor Kafuka Fuura.

A very polite email spat (click to embiggen). Reminds me off Ratman and Velvetrobots’ conversations here on Tumblr. Mahapdi sa nose.

Oh, we do so relish lapsing into our autocratic, pompous personae (Id est Dr. Primate and Prof. Robots) and engage in overtly aureate discourse and our rapacious, and — I dare say — near petulant reproving of each other’s, and everyone else’s, writing.

That in point, ‘embiggen’ is not a word — ‘enlarge’ is. In your second sentence, affix an ‘It’ before ‘Reminds’ to effectively render the sentence replete. The words ‘aggrieving’, ‘tortuous’ or perhaps ‘caustic’ could verily explicate the effects these grandiloquent dialogues have on your primary olfactory organ.

Also, it was Mark Twain who denoted the fact that you could well-nigh preclude ‘very’ in most of your writing and it would be just as it should be.

Further, we write better than those two hacks.

—Dr. Primate
(Of course, I am doing this all in the name of fun. Cheers, sir.)

The single most glaring mistake in here is that those two morons were born at all.

Also: that one person kept placing the period after the enclosing quotation marks rather than before, in proper US MLA style. Clearly, his IQ does not rise above 3.

Let us not be angry at them. Let us pity them.

Boyfriend needed.

Sorry I wasn’t able to make it.

The Xbox360 compelled me to stay at home and play.

Forgive me if I neglect to Tumbl for a while.

PROF. ROBOTS	Thank god you're here. 
DR. PRIMATE	What's up? I was drinking and I wasn't 
	supposed to come, but your text message
	seemed urgent. Is something wrong?
PROF. ROBOTS	I want to kill Aldrin. 
DR. PRIMATE	...what?
PROF. ROBOTS	You bloody heard me! Here's the plan. We
	go to--
DR. PRIMATE	Wait, wait. What did he do to you?
PROF. ROBOTS	What did he do to me, you dense
	poopie? Have you seen his posts?
	Goddamned bastard writes so well
	it's like he's paid for it and
	he's an engineer, for the love of 
	god! Do you know how long I've
	devoted my life to literature and this
	number-cruncher comes along and
	he's a genius!
DR. PRIMATE	So we kill him. 
PROF. ROBOTS	Precisely. 
DR. PRIMATE	And that's not weird at all. 
PROF. ROBOTS	Weird? Let me tell you what's weird. 
	YOUR FACE IS WEIRD. Yes, I want there.
	Want me to go there again, bitch? I said
	it. 
DR. PRIMATE	Is this why you have that katana behind
	you? 
PROF. ROBOTS	Yes. I was thinking you should hold him
	as he walks out of his house or apartment
	or whatever and then I slice him in
	seven pieces we then distribute in various
	cities in Metro Manila. 
DR. PRIMATE	That's a terrible idea and I'm going
	back to drinking now. 
PROF. ROBOTS	You are a coward!
DR. PRIMATE	You edit posts after you've published 
	them. 
PROF. ROBOTS	How DARE you sir!
DR. PRIMATE	I went there. [Walks out.]

Somebody told me you had a girlfriend who looked like a boyfriend I had in February of last year.

You’re in for a (very long) shock.
