anything with a murderous psychopath antagonist.. or two.. NO ALBINO ASASSINS. Saw I, II and III.. Interstate 60, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, Red Dragon, Big Fish, What Dreams May Come.. The Pianist..

post-hardcore & screamo, when i feel like jumping around and crying like a little girl under a pillow.. hard rock, psychadelic rock, all that 60's stuff.. blues, where it all came from.. doom and all that metal slowed down to a crawl.. thrash too and all that shredding stuff, as long as its not megadead i mean Megadeth I just can't stand that ex-Metallica creep.. love Metallica, especially the early years.. Power metal, DragonForce, classic 60's metal, all that real music.. Jimi Hendrix, Led Zepellin, Cream, The Greatful Dead.. Primus too, and a lot of indie bands.. When I'm in the mood for it, spanish insturmental guitar music.. oh so romantic.. : ) The occasional tasteful RnB song or hiphop track.. Reggae and ska are pretty nice.. but not that nice.. Pop grosses me out.. I love classical music for the violin.. And nursery rhymes.. Gregorian chant..

...no to TV: well.. Filipino TV I mean; there's nothing of sense or practical value to be seen on any of our channels.. I am fond of "House, " bought a DVD and watched two seasons over the sembreak.. I also love marathoning "The Twillight Zone" episodes.. especially the old black and white series.. That is what true science fiction should be: something that doesn't rely on visual effects or computer genterated images to make it worth watching. True sci-fi should be something that makes someone think, think of why, what could have happened.. what if, what should, and why not. Not the no-brainer shows we have on our chanels, making Filipinos grow slower and stupider day after day..

I am a deeply religous person.

I've had (and still have, apparently) a messy affair with a white lady.

I've danced with a green girl.

I've kissed a flowing amber maiden.

And I've spent many nights with an icy snow queen.

And none of them cared.

Neither did I. I tried my best to keep our relationship as coldly professional as I could.

Yes, it's scary when stones start to fall.

But suddenly, someone turns on all the fans.

And the rainbow spreads to your eyes.

You begin to actually see music.

You can touch a chromatic scale, and pet it.

You are the King of your world, yet you need a passport to enter your own kingdom.

The amber maiden grows fins and jumps into the sea, flowing liquidly over the waves.

The snow queen turns to mist, and vanishes without a trace.

The green little girl bursts into flames with a smile, feeling the pleasure of the heat.

And the white lady smiles mysteriously and disappears into my pocket.

They all creep me out.
