For the sake of myself
being remembered by my short-term memory I write lines--overly non-sensical
lines of random thoughts burning with pessimism, nauseous hopelessness, spoofable
reflections, gibberish rants and sometimes retracting suicidal grains of food
cravings, insane cursings... I don't write to be appreciated. My fiction deserves
no attention. I type blank-spaced blahs of words, similar to forgetful lines
if ever you are reading these words, forgive yourself on why the heck you've
thought of browsing this page. You might feel depressed as I ponder my thoughts
on my life... so you better exit now and save yourself from insanity. Bow.
Sheethead
Queen
This is a blog written by the queen of Sheetheads. Wondering what that word
means? Sheethead is a clay mineral powder which is used to absorb oil and
grease from non-washable fabrics. Or maybe it means a head full of bright
semi-shitty crappy ideas. Or maybe Sheethead doesn’t mean anything.
This blog is
full-heartedly dedicated to Smokey’s hotdog, isaw, hematophobics, Master
Splinter of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, to people strangled by the Sheethead,
to anti-posers, to the late Luis Taruc and other Pinoy liberalists and nationalists,
to the Visayan nephew, to paranoid loving parents, to siblings and relatives,
to Christian Bautista, to Iranians, to Quentin Tarantino, to UAAP fans who’ve
mistaken this blog as their idols’ fan site, to the wondrous sights
of the Philippines and of course, to YOU! YIHEE!
Quote
for the day:
If you do not know who I am, maybe you do not know who I am.

crafted “Ten Magnificent Random Things You Should Know About
Me.” Only 90% of this is authentic. 1 is a lie.

2. I am afraid of blood and roaches.
3. I am currently addicted to Damien Rice's, Up Dharma Down's and The Beatles' music.
4. I have mild amnesia and I am a fulfilled insomniac.
5. My dream is to be DOT's secretary someday.
6. I still dream of becoming a rockstar someday.br>
7. I crave for lobsters, isaw, kilawin, Meatshop's steak, more prawns, oyster, Lord Stow egg tart, Philadelphia cheesecake, aligue, calif maki, leche flan and tomato soup.
8. My knight will soon take me to Sagada, Mt. Pinatubo, Camiguin, Siquijor,
Sorsogon, Siargao, Isabela and Sulu.

Here are some actual quotes from Melanie Marquez, the former Miss International, also a self confessed Madame Malaprop. (Note: Malapropism, meaning "a ludicrous misuse of a word"). It'll make your day.
I won't stoop down to my level. Hello? Bulag ka ba? Bingi ka ba? Are you dep? Yung STD, baka sa maruming toilet lang niya nakuha yan. Eh, ikaw ba naman, durugin ang ari mo... Pag di ka naman manutok ng baril.
We are lovers, not fighters. My brother is not a girl; he's a gentleman. That's why I'm a success, it's because I don't middle in other people'slives. Don't judge my brother; he's not a book. Kapatid ko pa rin siya. We are one and the same. Bakit ang dami mong tanong? You're so questionable. I don't eat meat. I'm not a carnival. Eto na po ang pinakamaligayang pasko at manigong taon sa inyonglahat.(during her acceptance speech at a Metro Filmfest awards night where her bioflick, directed by her late father Temyong Marquez, won an award) Sumasakit ang migraine ko. Ang tatay ko ang only living legend na buhay! Period na talaga; wala nang exclamation point. (when asked on S-Files ifher present husband, Adam Lawyer, is her Mr. Right)
(at a talk show after her break-up with Derek Dee, Melanie was asked ifshe had some words for Derek's mother, whom she partly blamed for theseparation) "Oo nga," said Melanie, "pero i-English-in ko paramaintindihan niya." She looked into the camera and, with theperemptoriness of royalty, said, "And to you, Mrs. Dee, I have two wordsfor you. Ang labo mo!" (when asked for a message to her daughter who was allegedly abused bytheir houseboy)"Don't worry little angel, big angel is here."(on what theyshould do to the houseboy who molested her kid) "He should be put behindbar!" "You can fool me once, you can even fool me twice, you can even fool methrice. But you can never fool me four!" (while waiting backstage during a noontime show, after watching NikkiValdez do her dance number) "Nikki, you're so galing. You should go to the States. You will sell hotcakes!" ATE LUDS: "Paano ka nag-susurvive sa mga trials mo?" "Alam mo Ate Ludz, you know, when you are alone, you really have to istep your foot...ah ,forward!" Eddie Mercado: "Angie Dickinson has insured her legs for a million dollars, would you also do the same?" Melanie: "No, of course no, because I am proud and contented with my long-legged." With this answer, she bagged the crown and eventually won the Miss International in 1978.
(while she's in Morning Girls With Kris & Korinapromoting her movie with Aleck Bovick) Please watch "Hiram" starring Aleck Baldwin, and myself. It's directorby Romy Suzara. Hindi ba kayo naawa sa kapatid ko... sa mga kwento nya? Di ba kayo na-persuave ng mga kinwento nya?" "Hindi si Joey ang tipong mambubugbog ng babae... talaga lang malapit sya sa mga gulo... pro-accident kasi sya eh..." Boy Abunda: O, Melanie, paano na ang showbiz career mo ngayong nagmo-Mormon ka na?
Melanie: Ah okay lang yan Boy, kasi matagal na rin akong semi-retarded.
