About Me


the name's dodj.i easily get bored so i need the constant entertainment.a blabbermouth in the familarity of friends but can likely be a lethal, silent killer in the company of fiends (i have this tendency to talk too much or not talk at all).certainly not ms. congeniality but i can somehow be, uhmmmmmm, nice???(overstatement of the year!) utterly cynophobic. a menace and a nonconformist. i abhor norms and standards to the point of barfing, probably why i curse and cuss a lot more than i can chew flaming hot bubblegum (yeah yeah profanity is a sin, but i cant help it!)i love music like i love my life. id survive on a deserted island with an iPod and a pocketful of shells.consistently inconsistent and i hate to admit it, but i am not ms. perfect. a lover of fast cars and drag races. the deafening sound of screeching tires and burning rubber is pure adrenaline rush. my spare time is spent driving around and road tripping with a bunch of adventurous and boisterous people. a movie critic and lit enthusiast, i love movie marathons when im slackin off. a poor speller, and for chrissakes, i dont friggin care. my patience is infinitesimal so dont try to test it. ill get whatever i want by any means possible. i honestly wanted to be a forensic scientist but much to my dismay(i was never good with a lot of things). the divine deity of sleep! sleeping is my specialty. i just adore tom morello, john frusciante, and david aguirre, whooohooo! a deviant beer goddess, no arguments.I can drink like a fish and can outdrink half of my peers, which has its own downsides (i get to be the yaya til they sober up). loves the beach the sunset the mountain. i love nature, period. id volunteer as a guinea pig for a space exploration project. i dream of nothing but flying dreamily to the moon or better yet, saturn or jupiter. i am not and i mean NOT good at remembering names. i have like a lousy four-second memory. can't live without italian and mexican food. i am useless without a cup of coffee, no coffee=lethargy. my friends think i have a chronic case of paranoia, i dont, honestly, i dont! hates procrastination but indeed a great practitioner(ah, the irony of life). mountaineering is my ultimate high and i simply love to trek and traipse some more. to the sober person adventurous conduct often seems insanity. bull! a coin-operated backpacker and a hyperactive mountain junkie. i'll NEVER STOP EXPLORING! once drunk, i'd sleep on the bare mountain with the sky as my blanket and the earth as my pillow. probably one of the reasons im being held back from graduation.darnit.darnit.darnit.oh well. i dont know how to cook and couldn't care less. i couldn't cook to save my life! lethally allergic to crustaceans (awww, i missing out on a lot of things!). geographically challenged! (i used to think the bahamas was in africa, for crying out loud! hahaha, imma self-confessed idiot!it helps big time to carry a road map, btw) but i looove to travel a lot. recently moved to bacolod city (as they say, the city of smiles (BIG QUESTION MARK!!!)) to study yet again (yes,count me in,im statistics!).ahhhh shitttt.i miss playing football with my college friends. i used to eat,sleep,and play some footie action back in the days. a permanent nomad, a meandering wanderer,an adventure seeker.hmmmm... my life isn't all-that-wonderful shit but i find ways to see things in a colorful spectrum.i can tell stories for 10 bucks apiece, just drop them in my little peanut butter jar which i happen to conveniently carry around 24/7 haha.that'll be free of charge,if you can outdo mine.i commit mistakes and i am cursed to do them over and over again. i often question things about myself. i don't believe in religion. going to church doesn't make me a christian any more than going to a garage makes me an automobile. whatever. i'd rather waste your time than mine.whenever i get sad,i'd eat a happy meal, and everything'll be a-ok!.a hot fudge sundae would do miracles too. im easily turned off by idiocy and obvious stupidity and i totally dislike high-maintenance people (do i have to spell it out???). a free-spirited person who tends to linger on arbitrary beliefs. mediocrity is never in my dictionary.I am uber cowboy and game for almost anything and everything out of the blue. inexplicably obstinate.I tend to think too much or not think at all. my thoughts are often random. right now, i need aphorisms like i need screws in my head.im a walking contradiction, a true gemini, the perfect combo of yin and yang,a paradox of sorts.one in a bazillion. ilonggo ko ya(plus the accent)! true-blooded assumptionist and iskolar ng bayan!!! and my heart belongs only to Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite! I am eccentric. Sue me.

Ladies and Gentlemen... wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be IT.
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.
You are NOT as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't, maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself, either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Dance.
Even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings; they are your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen.

Pele, John Terry, Kaka, the football icons! kuya jepoy and lord wamsie, the sadists of the UPV Mountaineers ("you were born to become a mountaineer, dodj"), my friends my "hordes haha" for the reality checks that keep me sane and extremely wasted.
