Rock the Riles 2009: Jam for justice!

reblogged from tonyo cruz

On Dec. 6, 2009, from 2:00 pm onwards at several MRT stations, let’s express our collective indignation over the terrible Maguindanao massacre and other senseless political killings since 2001 through music and art.

Take part in Rock the Riles 2009, a noteworthy initiative spearheaded by RockEd Philippines, which aims to unite musicians, artists and the public in a common cause: To demand and ensure justice and to defeat impunity and cynicism.

As you can see from the poster above, there’s a whole menu of musical and artistic choices for everyone.

One of the highlights is CinemAlexis, a screening of three films in honor of film critic Alexis Tioseco, another victim of senseless violence this year.

So on on Dec. 6, drop by any of the MRT stations (Taft, Ayala, Buendia, Boni, Shaw, Cubao, Quezon Avenue, North Edsa) and together let’s jam for justice.

Let’s blaze the rails with our righteous indignation.

(Thanks to Gang Badoy for the heads up.)

Uy! Sobrang Cheesy! (pinoypickuplines.tumblr.com)

Kung malungkot ka dahil wala pa siya…
Isipin mo na lang…
Malungkot din ako dahil wala ka pa…mr. lonely

Saan mo gusto ikasal?
Kasi ako… sa tabi mo…


Tatakbo ka ba sa eleksyon?
Kasi boto mga magulang ko sa iyo eh. cheezy escudero 

Google ka ba?
Kasi lahat na ng hinahanap ko
Nasa iyo na eh.


Sana naging holdaper ka na lang.
Kasi kahit ano, ibibigay ko.
Basta ‘wag mo lang akong sasaktan…

Miss, album ka ba?
Kasi single ako eh. -kalye west

Lumiliit ka yata?
Dati kasi lampas ulo kita
Ngayon nasa puso na kita

Aanhin pa ba ang relo
Kung titigil din pala sa ‘yo!

Tumatangkad ka yata ngayon
Dati hanggang balikat lang kita.
Ngayon nasa isipan na kita.

Para kang alarm clock…
Ginising mo ang natutulog kong puso!

Isa lang naman pangarap ko eh…
Ang maging pangarap mo.

Tumingin ka sakin habang nakatingin ako sa ‘yo…
Para may pagtingin tayo sa isa’t isa.

May kandila ka ba jan?
Pakitirik naman dito sa dibdib ko.
Para sa puso kong patay na patay sa ‘yo!

Am I a bad shooter?
Kasi, I keep on missing you!

Maging cactus ka man,
Handa ako masaktan,
Mayakap ka lang.

Do not leave your valuable things unattended.
Kaya dito lang ako sa tabi mo.

Madumi man akong tingnan
Malinis nman ako magmahaL 
-taong grasa

Lakwatsera ka ba?
Kasi hanggang sa panaginip ko nakakarating ka.

Pwede na ba kitang tubusin?
Ang laki na kasi ng interest ko sa ‘yo eh!

Apoy ka ba?
Kasi… ‘alab’ you!

Tayong Dalawa na ba?
Hindi. May Bukas Pa. 
-kapamilya

Kung posporo ka, at posporo ako,
Eh di ‘match’ tayo.

Pag-ibig ko ay de-metro.
Habang napapalayo man at napapatagal ang nararating natin
Patuloy akong magmamahal sa ‘yo! -dollar taxi driver

 Pwede bang tayo na lang?
Kakapagod na kasi umupo eh.

Hindi ko naman pinipilit na maging akin ka.
Ang akin lang, maging sa ‘yo ako.

Hindi ka ba nalulungkot, baby?
Nag-iisa ka lang kasi sa puso ko eh.

Miss, miss, nilalamig ka na ba?
Kanina ka pa kasi nakahubad sa isip ko.

Miss, nasasaktan ka ba?
Saksakan ka kasi ng kagandahan eh.

Para kang trapik sa EDSA
‘Coz I can’t… move… on.

Miss trash can ka ba?
Tinatanggap mo ba ang isang basurang tulad ko? -basurerong emo

Barilin mo na ako.
Pero ‘wag sa puso
Dahil nandito ka…

Top view
Side view
Bottom view
Kahit anong view
‘I Love View’

Tinurukan ka ba ng ‘anaesthesia’
Bakit ‘di mo maramdaman na mahal kita?

Witch ka ba?
Kasi you cast me under your spell

Aanhin pa ang bahay na bato
Kung nakatira ka na sa puso ko?

‘Pag ako nagtayo ng negosyo,
lahat sila bebentahan ko ng mura.
Tama na’ng sa ‘yo lang ang magmahal

Sana camera na lang ako
Para ngitian mo naman ako

Ano’ng height mo?
Pa’no ka nagkasya sa loob ng puso ko?

Para kang table of contents ng isang libro.
Kasi ikaw ang paksa ng bawat pahina ng buhay ko

Kalawang ka ba?
Kasi unti-unri mong kinakain ang bakal na puso ko.

Nasa hospital ako ngayon
Kasi hindi kinaya ng puso ko ang pagmamahal sa ‘yo

Para san pa ang gravity?
Kung sa ’yo pa lang,
Nahuhulog na ‘ko?

Ako nang magbabayad ng tuition fee mo.
Basta pag-aralan mo lang na mahalin ako.

Pagod na pagod ka na ba?
Maghapon at magdamag ka na kasing tumatakbo sa isipan ko eh.

Grabe, ang dami na ng mga pick-up lines ngayon.
Wala na nga akong maisip na iba
Kundi ikaw.

Pustiso ka ba?
Kasi I can’t smile without you.

Mabilis ka siguro sa mga puzzle.
Kasi kakasimula pa lang ng araw ko, pero nabuo mo na agad.

Naniniwala ka ba sa love at first sight?
O gusto mong dumaan ulit ako?

May sira ata relo ko.
Kapag ikaw kasi kasama ko, humihinto ang oras.

May lisensya ka ba?
‘Coz you’re driving me crazy.

I forgot your name.
Can I call you ‘mine’?

Kaya pala walang stars sa langit.
Kasi nandito ka.

Magaling ka ba sa algebra?
Can you subtitute my ‘x’?

Pinaglihi ka ba sa keyboard?
Kasi type kita.-encoder

Kaya mo ba akong murahin?
Kasi kung hindi, mahalin mo na lang ako.

Lecture mo ba ako?
Lab kasi kita.

Minamalat na naman ang puso ko.
Paano kasi, laging sinisigaw ang pangalan mo.

wasak!
