kilcher~isms, kwento

“oi!”

tumigil ka sa paglalakad, kumawala sandali mula sa kapit ng iyong sariling mundo, at lumingon-lingon. hinahanap mo ang pinanggalingan ng tinig na yun. saka mo lang nawari na gwakanangshet para kang na-time-space-warp.

ang setting: velasquez road malapit sa college of science lib, up diliman. mga alas kuwatro ng hapon. circa early 2000-something. papaano kang napunta sa setting na ito?

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I’d be on my feet
I’d still be on my feet

Joni Mitchell | A Case of You

—————–

I’ve heard this song before but sort of forgot about it (just like every single thing actually, nothing ever stays in my mind anymore, you see). And then Madam brought it up again during the mini-jam-session last Friday and well, can I just say that Joni Mitchell is frikkin’ awesome?

Mula sa twitter page ko:

alec: i can’t understand the world…………..

tinats: @alec sinabi mo pa!

meemax: @alec naku wag mong dagdagan ang masalimuot na mundo ni tinats. ang mundong walang conflict pero nagkakaconflict. wahahahah. peace!

tinats: @meemax @alec out of nowhere sumusulpot ang virtual conflict. kelangan pa i-cast. (huwaaat?!) amfufung memory prob to (huwaaat?!)

———————–

I just really don’t get the world sometimes — well, no, scratch that out, make that almost all the time. My head’s gonna burst due to all the things that I don’t wanna think about but I kinda have to since they’re all here anyway.

Haaaaay, world, you sneaky sneaky you. You really like to throw curve balls at me, don’t you? Tsk. You keep doing that but I still don’t know whether to get out of the way or hit those pitches like there’s no tomorrow. I’m sorry but it takes a while for me to figure things out and see which is which. Your curve balls shatter the order of my universe and I’m left confused and discombobulated for days (or weeks or months). Ugh. What on earth — I don’t even play baseball! I should stop using these analogies and stick to those geeky ones. Bahala na lang kayong mandiri sa ka-nerdox-han na yan.

But anyway, see the thing is, life (and this blasted world and this frikkin’ universe) hurls into you some unexpected and out of the blue happenings that are of the omfg-san-galing-yun and wth-ano-na-ang-nangyayari variety. Hay, not all people can go with the flow or adapt to those unexpected things. I’m one of those people who are just plain useless in that area.

Argh. I don’t want to think about this because I don’t really need to think about this and my head is hurting like hell from all the lack of sleep and the chu-hi(gh) that I’ve chugged this past week and all the thinking that I’ve been doing about THIS.

Demmit.

———————–

I’m very fond of puns. And earlier, in the train ride from Keio-Nagayama to Shinjuku, I realized that there’s something really really really clever about this thing that’s been in my head for quite some time now (I know, it’s an anomaly coz normally, nothing is stored inside this useless brain — stupid memory, I blame you). Hahaha. OMG astig lang haha. Oh the fun with double (triple, quadruple, quintuple … n-tuple) meanings. Hee.

———————–

Remember my wawents ode to Shinjuku-Eki? If not, refresher here.

So yun. I went to Shinjuku yesterday to meet up with Meemax and go lens-window-shopping (na palpak desu, bigo ang Kilcher ahuhuhu). Argh~ness ever, I got lost again — and twice pa! Pinakamalala when I was trying to find the Keio West Gate so I could take the Express Train to Hashimoto. I found myself wandering aimlessly at the JR-sen East Gate and I was really dizzy what with lack of sleep and those damn chu-hi(gh)s last night! Buti na lang I entered the JR gate and voila, I found myself at the place that I was trying to find.

My gash. Shinjuku-Eki na kaya ang pinakamalaking challenge ng buhay ko? Hahaha. That or baka ang paghihintay kay “ikaw” na hanggang ngayon wala pa din? Hahaha ulit. Can’t decide — pareho lang ng level of difficulty yan eh. Tsk.

———————–

Kilcher: Inaantok na ako.

Doppleganger: Kelan ba hindi?

Kilcher: At masakit na ang ulo ko.

Doppleganger: Yan ba ang missing link dun sa linya mong “ang dami kong gagawin, nasusuka ako”?

Kilcher: I think I need to sleep.

Doppleganger: You shouldn’t think. You should know.

Kilcher: Wala na kasi sense tong pinagsasabi ko.

Doppleganger: Kailan ka ba nagkaron ng sense, aber?

Kilcher: Tse. Buzet.

Asar tong si Doppleganger ah. Mas kilala pa niya ko kesa sa sarili ko. Gash.

———————–

Commercial Desu Kedooooo ….

STORM DOUSED THE FEVER this morning. Hay, finally, a win. And Birdy played awesome, yeah yeah yeah! Pero weirdly enough, our three-game-skid this past week wasn’t enough to bring down my spirits. Ang weird ng pakiramdam, parang may sanib lang. Ewan ko na lang kung ano to and I ain’t wasting any brain cells trying to wade through the muddy and murky waters of uncertainty and whatever else — ah basta. Ewan ewaaaan ewaaaaaaaaaaaaan, kanta na lang tayo ng mga kanta ni Marie Digby. Yebbers!

———————–

Okay, hontou ni bangag da yo. I should sleep bago pa dumami ang sahog nitong word salad ko.

Ijou desu.

Minsan lang ako maging cheesy so PAGBIGYAN NIYO KO NGAYON hahahaha.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F9q_k5TWqo

The thing about love
Is I never saw it coming
It kinda crept up and took me by surprise
And now there’s a voice inside my heart that’s got me wondering
Is this true, I want to hear it one more time

Move in a little closer
Take it to a whisper
Just a little louder

Say it again for me
Cuz I love the way it feels when you are telling me that I’m
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It’s like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you’re in love
Say it again

Thing about you is you know just how to get me
You talk about us like there’s no end in sight
The thing about me is that i really want to let you
Open that door and walk into my life

Move in a little closer
Take it to a whisper
Just a little louder

Say it again for me
Cuz I love the way it feels when you are telling me that I’m
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It`s like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you`re in love

And it feels like it`s the first time
That anybody’s ever brought the sun without the rain
And never in my whole life
Have I heard words as beautiful as when you say my name

Say it again for me
Cuz i love the way it feels when you are telling me that I’m
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It’s like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you’re in love
Say it again

When you tell me you`re in love…
Say it again.

Bokeh

bokeh | uploaded by kilcher

From wikipedia:

Bokeh (from the Japanese boke ぼぁE β€œblur E is a photographic term referring to the appearance of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a camera lens. Different lens bokeh produces different aesthetic qualities in out-of-focus backgrounds, which are often used to reduce distractions and emphasize the primary subject. The effect itself is the circle of confusion, an image of the aperture convolved by the image itself.

So what now?

Well, I dunno. My head aches everytime I think of blurry and undefined parts in the daily grind — literally and figuratively. I struggle to give definition to everything. I want to categorize, define, and put everything into its own place. I want clarity. I can’t help it, it’s like my factory setting or whatever.

But sometimes I ask myself, why am I not interested in looking at the blurred parts? Why does it feel too mendoukusai for me to wade through the undefined things in life and just enjoy the whole process while it lasts? Why is it too taxing to take in a, let’s say, a metaphor and think about all its possible meanings? I know that most of the time things are not WYSIWYG and that most of the time the most interesting and important things happen in the blurred parts, in the hidden source code, in the background that no one seems to pay attention to. There are no edges, there is no clarity, and everything seems to just fade or merge into each other. There is a challenge in there somewhere, looking at a bokeh photo, I mean. You will find yourself asking questions like “what is this person trying to hide anyway?” and “omg, am I ever gonna recognize what those blurred little circles are?”

Anyway, yeah, so bokeh photos are fun and I used to be able to enjoy looking at the blurred parts. But lately, I can’t seem to push myself to make an effort in trying to imagine what those blurry shapes might be. I just can’t. I dunno, did I just suddenly lose my interest in it? Or did my attention span just finally reach its limit? Or did I just suddenly don’t care anymore? I dunno, but right now, I just can’t. No, not anymore.

————————

Note: I’m still hankering to buy that 50mm f1.8 lens though. Sa literal na bokeh, masaya ako πŸ˜€

Note 02: Walang sense ang entry na to. Bokeh rin siya. πŸ˜€

Ahahahaha! Nahilo ka ba? O malamang naasar na at di na lang pinansin itong post na to (pero kung ganun eh di hindi mo na nababasa itong mga daldal ko na to)? Ako rin nahilo eh. Isang malaking imahe na lang siya sa akin, wala akong nakikitang mga formula or hieroglyphic symbols. Para na lang siyang painting — abstract painting, to be exact.

O di bale, linisin natin ang ang image, tanggalin ang mga computations, at itira ang mga free-body diagrams.

Haha, wala pa rin. Puro arrows na lang nakikita ko. Arrows representing forces. Forces that need to be resolved into a single resultant (with magnitude and direction ^_^).

Kasi ganito yan, wala namang mga pangyayari pero pakiramdam ko andaming nangyayari (potek kahit ako nalabuan dun ah). Pakiramdam ko lang. Feeling ko lang. OMG, Virginia Woolf mode ba ito (hanggang ngayon di ko pa rin tapos basahin ang The Hours)? Enihu, andaming forces papasok, nakakaloka, hindi ko alam kung saang direksyon ako titingin, magpo-pokus, magbubuhos ng pansin. Andaming forces din papalabas — napakarami kong gustong gawin, pero walang oras, parating pagod, at madalas nang sumakit ang ulo ko ngayon.

Naalala ko tuloy yung mga Free Body Diagrams noon sa ES 11 (Statics of Rigid Bodies) at ES 12 (Dynamics of Rigid Bodies). Andami-daming arrows na nakaturo sa, let’s say, isang box, or isang slab of rock, or isang kotse, or whatever. Tas ire-resolve mo yan, magkakaron ng resultant force that will make the body move (ES 12) or mahahanap mo yung isang unknown force na makakapag-balance sa body na yun at makakapagpanatili sa kanya sa equilibrium (ES 11). Potek, ano kaya ang pakiramdam nung box na yun (or slab of rock, or kotse, or whatever)? Nagugulumihanan din kaya siya habang ang tagal-tagal nung estudyante (ako at ang sanlaksang mga eng’gots na olats sa ES) i-solve yung tinginingining na problem sa problem set or exam? Haha, teka bakit ko ba pinoproblema eh wala namang pakiramdam ang box or slab of rock or kotse or whatever? At hmmmm, pwede ko palang ihalintulad ang sarili ko sa box or slab of rock or kotse or whatever wahahaha.

PS — Ang gulo ko haha. Umulan kasi (huwaaaat?). Ganun yata kapag walang tulog (hello, insomnia) at saka nababasa ng ulan, nagiging monster, well scratch that out, nagiging MALABONG MONSTER. Raaawrr!

PPS — Naku, kung nagganito na ko dati nung ES 11 at ES 12, hindi sana ako nabuwiset nang malala at naburaot sa kakairitang mga subject na yan.

PPPS — Ugh. Kelan ba matatapos itong phase na to? Ayoko na mag-discuss ng mga konseptong ganito pero di ko mapigilan.

PPPPS — Hindi ko na maalala kung san ko nakuha yung first two images. Nag-google lang ako eh. Hehe.

Density and Focus

11 Wednesday Jun 2008

analogy, density, kilcher~isms, physics

In physics, density is mass (m) per unit volume (V), the ratio of the amount of matter in an object compared to its volume.

In case of a homogeneous substance, the formula for density is:

where, in SI Units:

ρ (rho) is the density of the substance, measured in kg/m3
m is the mass of the substance, measured in kg
V is the volume of the substance, measured in m3

Density can also be defined as concentration — the spatial property of being crowded together.

Pero keber diyan sa formula na yan. Panggulo lang yan hahaha. What I really want to talk about is a person’s being dense. As in, tipong nasa harapan na niya yung isang bagay na dapat ma-gets niya, hindi pa rin niya nakikita. Dense. Ganung tipo. Iyung sobrang oblivious to subtle hints, hindi maka-recognize ng mga ginormous signs even if those signs danced naked in front of them.

In a way, pwede pa rin i-relate yung formula. Sabihin natin parang screen siya in front of the person, pang-filter kung baga ng light na papunta at pabalik sa eyes, pang-limit ng kung gaano ka-clear ang nakikita. The more mass over unit volume, mas maraming particles na nagsisiksikan, lumiliit yung spaces in between, para mas matakpan yung mata. Ergo, lalong lumalabo yung tingin nung tao, lalong hindi niya nakikita, lalong hindi niya narerecognize yung mga signs na dapat naman nakikita niya. Mas dense, mas bulag. Keri?

Anyway, walang point ito haha. Gusto ko lang uriratin ang sarili ko. Ang alam ko kasi, hindi naman ako dense. May kung anong warning bells akong super-sensitive kapag may kakaibang pangyayari na sa paligid ko. Like may isang pangyayari noon, I could see the whole bloody scenario months bago pa naging klaro ang lahat (hindi ako dense or sadyang feeling lang talaga ako — I’m picking the former :P). May kung anu-anong passive-aggressive tactics pa akong ginawa nun para lang ma-ward-off siya. Kasi nung nakita ko na agad yung signs, dapat nip the whole thing in the bud pa lang before everything gets ugly, di ba?

Focus – maximum clarity or distinctness of an image rendered by an optical system. Also the adjustment of the distance setting on a lens to define the subject sharply.

Eh pero minsan din kasi, sa iba rin tayo naka-tingin, sa iba ang focus natin, kaya minsan mayroon din tayong namimiss. Parang focusing lang yan sa photography eh. Kapag sobrang taas ng aperture value mo (mababang f-stop, like f/1.4, for example), isa lang yung pwede mo i-focus. Either yung nasa likuran, or yung nasa harapan. Ako pakiramdam ko sa malayo ako naka-focus, hindi ko nakikita yung mga bumubulaga sa harapan ko. Hindi ako siguro dense talaga, baka I’m just busy looking at the big picture kaya I’m missing the significant little details. Or baka rin it’s the other way around, I’ve been trying to concentrate all my attention and energy on something kaya I’m missing the big picture.

Ah ewan haha. Ang gulo ko na naman. Hindi na ako magtataka kung walang maka-gets neto. Kahit ako hindi ko rin naiintindihan eh. At kumusta naman, patapos na itong entry na to, hindi ko pa rin mapagdesisyunan kung dense nga ba talaga ako or nag-de-dense-dense-an lang. Aaaaaarrrrggghhh, wala akong makitang kung ano. Baka dense nga talaga siguro ako.

Ikaw — ano sa tingin mo?
