Hard Gay - Social Improvement

I've always idolized Razor Ramon Sumitani, more known as Hard Gay (or simply HG) for his very outgoing personality. His tight leather outfit coupled with ultra skimpy short shorts doesn't look well with his buff, masculine physique. If ever you get the chance to travel to Japan and see a man with his big shades and wearing a boy's cap studded with the letters HG, you can be sure that you have met HG when you see his hip-shaking that would flip even the best belly dancer out there. None can stand before the mighty gyrating hips of HG.

His social skills are amazing. He can do almost anything he wants since he always puts his mind into it, and he does what he does proudly, with dignity, and with a whole lot of humor into it. Razor Ramon Sumitani not only gives anyone who watches his short skits laughter, but he also gives his viewers a very important lesson which is commonly unseen: nothing is impossible when people convert their ideas into real efforts.

HOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Summer Classes: Tinatamad na Ako (Maniwala)

Dahil five years dapat ang BS Computer Science at isa itong four-year course sa aking pamantasan, required ako mag-summer tuwing taon dahil kung hindi kasi, nasa 24 units ang aking normal load. Mas magaan ito kung ikukumpara sa mga kaklase ko dati sa high school na sa UST na nag-aaral. Sabi nila, umaabot sila ng lagpas 30 units kada sem. Ibig sabihin nun, alas-7 ng umaga hanggang alas-7 ng gabi ang mga klase nila. Okay na rin sana na may summer lagi, kasi may pasok equals may baon, pero nakakatamad kasing maglakad sa ilalim nang mainit na sinag ng araw tuwing alas-10 ng umaga at alas-3 ng hapon. Nakakatamad ding pumasok lalo na't may mga kilala kang papeteks-peteks na lang ngayon habang ikaw ay abala sa pagbabasa ng "When Jesus Shaves" na reading para sa iyong Sa21 class ngayong summer sem. Well, hindi ko naman pinalalabas na hindi rin ako pumepeteks-peteks. Nakakatamad talaga kasi. At isa pa, boring kasi sina Ms. Andie Soco *bang bang* at si Sir Eric Vidal. Dahil isa akong mabuting estudyante, nakikinig ako at nagno-notes. Sabi ko nga kay idol Jacob, nag-aaral ako kasi gusto kong madistract. It turns out, nag-aaral pala ako ng FAQs ng Chrono Cross at Civilization III: Empires at mga clipart ng heraldry designs. Ang astig kasing tingnan ng Old English sa Coat of Arms na susubukin kong gawin.

Hay. Tinatamad talaga ako. Ang dami kong sinisimulan na hindi ko naman natatapos. Yung canvas shoes ko, hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin tapos miski na kumpleto na ako sa gamit. Nasimulan ko naman na yung left shoe na kung saan deluge ang motif. Ang balak ko sa right shoe ay inferno. At hanggang ngayon, nananatiling hindi nagagalaw at natutuloy ang Firefly ~ Boku wa Ikiteiku.txt. Stuck pa rin ang aking translation sa ikasampung stanza.

Siguro, tamad lang talaga ako. Hindi ko na ngayon tinutuloy ang aking narcissistic regimen tuwing bago maligo. Hindi na rin ako nagbabasa ng readings sa Sa21 on time (like I ever did read a reading on time). Hanggang ngayon, nananatiling makalat at magulo ang aking maliit na silid na malapit nang pintahan ni Kuya Simon.

Pero hindi tinatamad ang isip ko na isipin ang mga alaalang sawa na akong pag-isipan. Nanlamig na ang puso ko sa mga taong kasama sa mga alaalang ito, ngunit tila hindi ako nagsasawang pag-isipan ang nakaraan. Siguro talaga, isa akong tao nang nakaraan.

Wala bang secret pill para tamarin talaga ng tuluyan? As in tatamarin ka rin huminga? Kapag ininom mo yung secret pill na iyon, tatamarin na ang puso mo upang umibig, tatamarin na ang iyong alaala na saktan ka, at tatamarin na rin ang iyong pagkatao para umasa. Kung meron man, tatawagin ko itong "secret pill" kasi kung isinawalat ko ang pangalan nun, e 'di hindi na siya secret.

Ikukuwento ko rin na, nung isang araw, nagyaya si Rai sa kanyang condo. Actually, gusto kong sumama kasi nasa mataas na palapag yung condo niya sa Xanland. Nagyaya si Rai para mag-star gazing kasi may meteor shower daw noon. Nanghina ang loob ko. Naramdaman ko ang paglakas ng daloy ng dugo sa aking katawan at pagbilis ng pintig ng aking puso. Nangatal ang aking paghinga.

Naalala ko ang paborito kong kanta dati. Naalala ko ang Tentai Kansoku.

sailing day　舵を取れ
Sailing day kaji wo tore
Sailing day, taking the helm
嵐の中　嬉しそうに　帆を張った　愚かなドリーマー
Arashi no naka ureshisou ni hou wo hatta oroka na dori-ma-
In the wind I happily raised the sail, foolish dreamer

誰もがビリーヴァー
Daremo ga biri-va-
Everyone is a believer

永遠のドリーマー
Eien no dori-ma-
An eternal dreamer

午前二時　フミキリに　望遠鏡を担いでった
Gozen niji fumikiri ni bouenkyou wo katsuidetta
Two in the morning at the railroad crossing, carrying a telescope on my shoulders,
ベルトに結んだラジオ　雨は降らないらしい
Beruto ni musunda rajio ame wa furanai rashii
The radio tied to my belt tells me it shouldn't rain today

二分後に君が来た　大袈裟な荷物しょって来た
Nifungo ni kimi ga kita oogesa na nimotsu shotte kita
Two minutes later, you arrive, carrying way too much stuff on your back
始めようか　天体観測　ほうき星を探して
Hajimeyou ka tentai kansoku houkiboshi wo sagashite
Now let's go star gazing, and start searching for comets

深い闇に飲まれないように　精一杯だった
Fukai yami ni nomarenai you ni seiippai datta
The best we could have done was even just try not to be sucked in by the darkness that enveloped us
君の震える手を　握ろうとした　あの日は
Kimi no furueru te wo nigirou to shita ano hi wa
On that day, where I had considered holding your hand...

見えないモノを見ようとして　望遠鏡を覗き込んだ
Mienai mono wo miyou to shite bouenkyou wo nozokikonda
Intending to see things that couldn't be seen, we gazed into the telescope
静寂を切り裂いて　いくつも声が生まれたよ
Seijaku wo kirisaite ikutsumo koe ga umareta yo
Several voices which cut through the silence were born then
明日が僕らを呼んだって　返事もろくにしなかった
Ashita ga bokura wo yondatte henji mo roku ni shinakatta
Even if the next day was calling to us, we never gave it a proper response
“イマ”という　ほうき星　君と二人追いかけていた Oh Yeah Ah
"Ima" to iu houkiboshi kimi to futari oikakete ita
I chased after the comet we call "the present" together with you

気が付けばいつだって　ひたすら何か探している
Ki ga tsukeba itsu datte hitasura nanika sagashite iru
Before I realized it, I was always fervently looking for something
幸せの定義とか　哀しみの置き場とか
Shiawase no teigi toka kanashimi no okiba toka
Like a definition for "happiness", or where one stores sadness

生まれたら死ぬまで　ずっと探している
Umaretara shinu made zutto sagashite iru
From when I was born till the day I die, I continue searching
さぁ　始めようか　天体観測　ほうき星を探して
Saa hajimeyou ka tentai kansoku houkiboshi wo sagashite
Now, let's go star gazing, and start searching for comets!

今まで見つけたモノは　全部覚えている
Ima made mitsuketa mono wa zenbu oboeteiru
I still remember everything I've ever discovered up until now
君の震える手を　握れなかった痛みも
Kimi no furueru te wo nigirenakatta itami mo
And that includes the pain of not having held your trembling hand

知らないモノを知ろうとして　望遠鏡を覗き込んだ
Shiranai mono wo shirou to shite bouenkyou wo nozokikonda
We gazed into the telescope, hoping to know things we didn't know
暗闇を照らす様な　微かな光　探したよ
Kurayami wo terasu you na kasuka na hikari sagashita yo
We looked for those faint glimmers of light that seem to illuminate the darkness
そうして知った痛みを　未だに僕は覚えている
Sou shite shitta itami wo imada ni boku wa oboete iru
And the pain we discovered through this, I still remember to this day
“イマ”という　ほうき星　今も一人追いかけている Oh Yeah Ah
"Ima" to iu houkiboshi ima mo hitori oikakete iru
And this comet we call "the present", I'm still chasing alone to this day

背が伸びるにつれて　伝えたい事も増えてった
Se ga nobiru ni tsurete tsutaetai koto mo fuetetta
And as we grow up, the number of things I want to tell you also increase
宛名の無い手紙も　崩れる程重なった
Atena no nai tegami mo kuzureru hodo kasanatta
My unaddressed letters have built up into a pile that's so large it looks like it would crumble

僕は元気でいるよ　心配事も少ないよ
Boku wa genki de iru yo shinpai goto mo sukunai yo
I'm doing well! And my worries number few!
ただひとつ　今も思い出すよ
Tada hitotsu ima mo omoidasu yo
But there's one, that I still remember even now!

予報外れの雨に打たれて　泣きだしそうな
Yohou hazure no ame ni utarete nakidashisou na
While the rain the reports didn't predict shower on us,
君の震える手を　握れなかった　あの日を
Kimi no furueru to wo nigirenakatta ano hi wo
That day, when I didn't take your quivering hand while you looked like you were about to cry

見えてるモノを　見落として　望遠鏡をまた担いで
Mieteru mono wo miotoshite bouenkyou wo mata katsuide
I carry the telescope on my shoulders once more as we missed to see what we wanted
静寂と暗闇の帰り道を　駆け抜けた
Seijaku to kurayami no kaerimichi wo kake nuketa
We splintered the silence and darkness on our way home
そうして知った痛みが　未だに僕を支えている
Sou shite shitta itami ga imada ni boku wo sasaete iru
And the pain we discovered through this, I still remember to this day
“イマ”という　ほうき星　今も一人追いかけている
"Ima" to iu houkiboshi ima mo hitori oikakete iru
And this comet we call "the present", I'm still chasing alone to this day

もう一度君に逢おうとして　望遠鏡をまた担いで
Mou ichido kimi ni aou to shite bouenkyou wo mata katsuide
Intending to meet you once again, I carry the telescope on my shoulder like before
前と同じ　午前二時　フミキリまで駆けてくよ
Mae to onaji gozen niji fumikiri made kaketeku yo
Same as before at two in the morning, I kept running until I reach the railroad crossing
始めようか　天体観測　二分後に　君が来なくとも
Hajimeyou ka tentai kansoku nifungo ni kimi ga konakutomo
Now let's go star gazing, even if you don't come within two minutes
“イマ”という　ほうき星　君と二人追いかけている Oh Yeah Ah Ah Ah Yeah
"Ima" to iu houkiboshi kimi to futari oikakete iru
I will still chase after the comet we call "the present" together with you
