don’t quote me . . .

Hmm . . . not a very original blog title.

Moving on . . . I love quotes. No, not the ones you find in a stock market or something. I can’t understand those things to save my life, much less collect them. Now quotations . . . those are a different matter altogether. I’m not sure why I love those things anyway. They’re all just a bunch of phrases after all, albeit sometimes funny and thought-provoking bunch of phrases. Take for example the following quote:

“Programmers don’t die, they just GOSUB without RETURN” —- Anonymous

Now, I know the above quote won’t make much sense if you’re not familiar with programming, but that is one of the more funnier quotes in my collection that managed to make me laugh out loud. Okay, here’s another one:

“I do not feel obliged to feel that the same God
who has endowed us with sense, reason, and
intellect has intended us to forego their use.” — Galileo Galilei

A bit more thought-provoking, eh? Here’s a few more (shh . . . I’m on a roll here hehehe):

“True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked.” — Erich Segal

“A smile is a curve that can set everything straight” — Phyllis Diller

“An example from the monkey: the higher it climbs, the more you see of its behind” —- St. Bonaventure

Finally . . . this is not a quote, per se . . . I think it’s part of a poem by Emily Dickinson:

“Love is anterior to life,
Posterior to death,
Initial of creation and
The exponent of breath.”

The Pinoy Big Brother Theme song:

“PINOY AKO”
by Orange and Lemons

Lahat tayo mayroon pagkakaiba sa tingin pa lang ay makikita na
Iba’t ibang kagustuhan ngunit iisang patutunguhan
Gabay at pagmamahal ang hanap mo
Magbibigay ng halaga sa iyo
Nais mong ipakilala kung sino ka man talaga

Chorus:
Pinoy ikaw ay pinoy
Ipakita sa mundo
Kung ano ang kaya mo
Ibang-iba ang pinoy
Wag kang matatakot
Ipagmalaki mo pinoy ako
Pinoy tayo

‘Pakita mo ang tunay at kung sino ka
Mayro’n mang masama at maganda
Wala naman perpekto
Basta magpakatotoo oohh… oohh…
Gabay at pagmamahal ang hanap mo
Magbibigay ng halaga sa iyo
Nais mong ipakilala kung sino ka man talaga

[chorus]

Talagang ganyan ang buhay
Dapat ka nang masanay
Wala rin mangyayari
Kung laging nakikibagay
Ipakilala ang iyong sarili
Ano man sa iyo ay mangyayari
Ang lagi mong iisipin
Kayang kayang gawin

[chorus]
