IPISTRY

Nagtataka siguro kayo kung ano ang "Ipistry." Alam kong hindi kayo pamilyar sa word na yan kasi ako lang may imbento niyan. =)) Diyan iikot ang aking kwento. Promise, mala-Harry Potter ang dating nitong kwento ko. May halong drama, comedy, at action. Mag-umpisa muna tayo sa definition of terms:


IPISTRY= IPIS + INDUSTRY


-ito ang bagong salita para sa supermassive production ng ipis. Related din ito sa manufacturing, commerce, at trade ng mga ipis sa isang particular na place. 


Kwento 1: MOTHERHOOD and EXPORT


Ang "Motherhood" and tawag namin ni Janina (roomie ko) sa main base ng production ng ipis sa loob ng dorm namin. Nung una, hindi namin matunton kung saan ang pinaka malakas ang production ng lintik na ipis eggz. Through constant investigation, nahanap na rin namin. Ito ay ang malaking karton na puro pagkain sa ilalim ng kama ni Xtalsion (di niya tunay na pangalan/isa pa naming roomie). Sobrang dumi sa ilalim ng kama, tapos andon yung malaking karton ng pagkain niya. Sa tingin ko, pagkumuha ka ng pagkain don may bonus ka pang calories galing sa alikabok =)) na-confirm namin na ito ang main base ng IPISTRY kasi malaki ito. =)) May annex din ang IPISTRY...sa bonggang-bongga na basurahan namin at sa...cabinet ni Charis (isa pang roomie/magiging bida sa susunod na istorya) =)) classified din ang laundry bin ko as 'annex in construction process'


Havaianas, flats, school shoes, bedtime slippers, rubber shoes, sandals, coffee mug, atbp. na ang nagamit namin sa pagpuksa sa mga natatanging kalaban na ipis. Ang pag-choose ng pamatay na gamit ay may mga variables to consider din:


-proximity 
-thickness of material
-size of target


Pero madalas, yung tsinelas ni Xtalsion at Charis ang pinapampatay namin (hindi nila alam yon). =)) Mainam gamitin pamatay yung tsinelas ni Xtalsion kasi magaan ito at sanay na sa pagpatay ng ipis. Lagi naman siyang tulog kaya ok lang. Di niya rin napapansin na puro dugo ng ipis yung ilalim ng slippers niya tapos minsan may langgam na =))) Magkakaron ka ng kakaibang targeting skills paggamit mo ang magic tsinelas niya. =)))))) Kapag may ipis na malapit sa pintuan , dito na pumapasok ang susunod na na proseso: and IPISTRY EXPORT. Minsan, nakakaawa na rin gamitin ang tsinelas ni Xtalsion pampatay, at nakakaawa na rin pumatay ng ipis kasi magiging friends na kayo...kaya pagmalapit sa pintuan yung ipis ito ang mga kailangan gawin:


-buksan ang pinto
-kuhanin ang walis
-walisin ang ipis para ma-transfer sa neighboring rooms
=))))))


may kasabihang, "share your blessings" at sobrang dami na naming IPIS blessings...kaya naisip namin na, "it's t ime to share."  Dahil alam niyo na ang basics sa IPISTRY, maaari niyo ng basahin ang susunod na istorya.


Kwento 2: FIRST KISS


Habang nag-aayos ng gamit si Charis sa kama niya...malamig ang aircon (ok, walang sense). Dahil pagod siya nung araw na yon, naisipan niyang matulog ng maaga. May ginagawa akong homework sa Biochem namin pero nasaksihan ko pa rin ang romantic scene na nangyari.  Nakita ko, may ipis na nag-crawl sa outline ng bed ni Charis...gigisingin ko sana siya kaso naisip ko, baka magalit. Papatayin ko sana yung ipis kaso nasa  legs na ni Charis...alangan naman na hampasin ko ng tsinelas =)) so, nag-wait nalang ako sa susunod na nangyari. Mga ilang seconds lang ang nakalipas...


CHARIS: "EEEEEEEEKSFKWBVNAOFNVPWFM!?!?"


*yung ipis lumipad sa may wall sa bed ni Charis*


CHARIS: "huhuhu, mami...huhuhu, waaaa hmp, tsinelas!?! tabi nga diyan..."


SAM: okay...


(hahampasin na dapat ni Charis yung ipis kaso...nahalikan na siya nung ipis)


SAM: o_o eew. Charis!!! First kiss!!! eew. Kelan kasal? =))))))


CHARIS: waaaaaaaaaaaa eeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkk!?! *sabay dura sa lababo at toothbrush*


SAM: rofl




Kwento 3: GENERALIZATION


Sobrang dami na ng ipis sa dorm. kadiri. as in. (o_o) Habang tumatagal, mas naging malakas ang production ng Motherhood. Dahil sa exportation sa neighboring rooms...nalahian na yung ibang ipis sa dorm namin. May maitim, may albino, at merong Pilipino style. =)) Napaka hirap ng buhay kapag mas dumami ang kahati mo sa isang place. Feel ko, nagka-extra decoration pa ng mga patay na ipis na bumabandila sa haligi ng aming kwarto. (o_o) sa tingin ko rin, pudpod  na yung tsinelas ni Xtalsion sa sobrang dami nitong napatay =)) hindi na rin effective ang insect killer. Sobrang dami na kasi. Good luck nalang samin! =))


PAALALA:


Mag-ingat.
Alisin na ang mga posibleng ipisin na stuffs.
Huwag gumamit ng malaking karton.
Bumili ng tsinelas na kamukha nung kay Xtalsion.
Huwag i-set ng masyadong malamig ang aircon kasi mahahalikan ka ng ipis.

Things we do for FAME

This is an exceptionally late blog post about my friend's debut party. Actually, this isn't even about the birthday girl...it's about me, Janina Mercado, and our road to instant stardom.


Ikee's (the birthday girl) mom asked for our help in preparation for her daughter's Luau celebration. I panicked and asked for Janina's help so we could team-up a great surprise idea for Ikee. We would really like to surprise our dear friend so we kept updating her mother about our surprise suggestions. Her mom suggested we do a Hawaiian dance number (the thought of it killed my huge ego!?!). I countered that we didn't have enough time to prepare and I reasoned out that we were very busy. We tried suggesting a couple of surprise ideas, but our seemingly 'great' ideas were indirectly turned down. Janina and I realized  that 'WE HAVE TO PERFORM'; that's the only idea Ikee's mom would probably agree with us. So then, we confirmed that we'd do a special song number for Ikee. Love can make the world go round...but love could also spin the headoff your closest friends =))


Day by day, we practiced. We prepared 2 songs (Sugar we're going down and Hummingbird heartbeat). We made our fake album props. We hired scripted fans (we need their screams to cover up our awful voices =P). We even tried a duet blending for heaven's sake!?! =)) We practiced some simple dance steps that turned out to be a Machete dance. =)) The preparation was fun, indeed. But the pressure suffocated us...and the moment itself (grand performance) almost killed us. We knew that the performance would take away our remaining dignity. The performance would MAKE or BREAK us. (o_o) But because of love...(for FAME) >:), we did it. Successfully, like how we prayed for it. I knew this will be a traumatic experience for us, but I also thought that the audience would have a harder traumatic experience listening to us. =))

Practice @ home with Janina Mercado

Scripted Fans (SPVM 09 Batchmates)

Janina and I shared this wonderful philosophy about our ONE TIME, BIG TIME SINGING PERFORMANCE. Since both of us only performed speech choirs back in highschool, usually in the background--unnoticed...we've been bitter. And singing in Ikee's debut would be a huge step out of bitterness and make people regret that they put the brightest stars in the background. Oh yes, I know you could sense perfectly blended bitterness and sarcasm. We've been limited in opportunities back then, and every chance we have now---we grab it with pride. 


I would like to show you a video of our performance but...I don't have a copy. If you happen to have one, OMG! lemme burn it!?!? =)) NAKAKAHIYAAA!
