Sa mga panahong ganito na summer na at malapit na rin ang eleksyon (at ang birthday ko rin pala, papansin lang), usong uso na naman ang mga patayan, holdapan, nakawan, bentahan ng droga, laman, at kung anu ano pa. Karamihan sa mga ito ay nagaganap sa Padre Faura, isang sikat na kalye sa lungsod ng Maynila. Dahil nagiging talamak na ang mga ganitong sitwasyon, kailangan na nating tawagin muli at buhayin ang mga dakilang tagapagtanggol ng 'Mahal kong Maynila', ang mga Faura Rangers!
Red Ranger - Tinaguriang pinuno ng grupo (kahapon lang namin siya nahirang), siya ang pinakamatindi mag-isip ng parusa sa mga kampon ng kasamaan. Inaaway si Green Ranger kapag magkakasama silang lima, at malakas bumanat at humirit ng mga uber sa galing na timing at straight-to-the-point na mga panunukso sa kung sino sino. Dahil diyan, ito na rin ang naging main weapon niya laban sa mga masasamang loob, taste the power of the 'Shadow Word.'
Yellow Ranger - Kanang kamay daw ni Red Ranger, ngunit kahit kanang kamay lang, siya ang naghahari-harian sa grupo. Siya naman ang mortal na kaaway ni Blue Ranger tuwing magkakasama ang lima. Napakabanal na tao raw niya, kaya maraming sumusunod sa mga pangaral na ipinagkakalat niya. Dahil doon, ang gamit niya naman laban sa mga masasamang loob ay ang kanyang 'Holy Word,' bukod sa kanyang charisma sapagkat siya ay isang alagad diumano ng kabutihan, isa siyang 'pastor.'
Blue Ranger - Siya naman ang pinakatahimik na miyembro ng grupo, pero nung una lang iyon. Mula ng makalabas galing sa mapait na mundo ng kadiliman (hindi literal), bigla na lang lumabas ang mga salita sa kanyang bibig at nawala ang 'Curse of the Silent.' Ngunit wag kayong mag-alala mga kalaban namin, sapagkat hindi ito ang kanyang superpower, kundi ang kanyang napakamakapangyarihang 'Finger of Death.' Siya nga rin pala ang pinakama-'L' sa grupo, ayon kay Yellow Ranger na mortal nga niyang kaaway.
Green Ranger - Siya ang pinakamaliit na miyembro ng grupo. Maliit ang sulat, maliit ang boses, maliit na rin daw ang lahat ayon kay bosing Red Ranger. Mahilig din daw siya sa mga maliit, sabi ng iba. Akala niyo lang madali siyang kalaban pero wag niyong maliitin iyan dahil walang dudang napakalakas ng kanyang superpower: ang 'Scream of Pain.' Swerte pa namin kung bading ang makakalaban, sapagkat tinagurian din siya bilang isang Super G-Vac o gay vacuum.
Pink Ranger - Masasabing isa siyang 'bading' slash bading-badingan dahil kalalaking tao ay nagsusuot ng pink na costume at mahilig tumingin sa mga boys kasama ni Green Ranger. Mahilig din mang asar kay Green Ranger kasama ni Red Ranger, at madalas katawanan ng grupo. Marunong rin siyang magpalit-palit ng boses ng kung sino sinong tao dito sa mundong ibabaw. At dahil doon, gamit niya na rin itong panlaban sa masasamang loob upang matakot sila sa kanilang pinaggagawang mga kalokohan, at tinawag itong 'Voice Morph.'
Kaya ikaw, kung sino ka man na nangangailangan ng tulong namin at nasa Maynila ka na rin lang, kami na ang hanapin mo. Basta may makita kang limang lalaki na nakasuot ng Tshirts na may kulay gaya ng mga nasa itaas, at nagtatawanan, tiyak na kami yun. Sakali mang hindi mo kami makita, sumigaw ka lang ng: "DoTA!!!" Pwede ring hanapin mo kami sa PJ Mansion, sa CAS, CAMP, basta sa vicinity ng Padre Faura St. Ermita, Manila. Matatagpuan din ang mga Rangers sa mga 7-Eleven shops na makikita mo. Chambahan mo na lang kung saan kami tumatambay sa oras na kailangan mo kami. Humanda na kayo mga bad guys and gays! Go Go Faura Rangers!

For the boys of our block, each passing day inside the premises of UP Manila is never complete without noise.
Armed with the corniest jokes that weren't forwarded last night (due to the possible case of flooding the inbox our blockmates' phones) and 'philosophical ideas' on the back of our heads, as always, we enter the classroom with smiles on our faces.
From dude pare to pareng idol, from walktalking (walking and talking at the same time haha) to 'philosophizing' our daily conversations (Q: Ui, 'san kayo? A: Nasa [current location]..), all goes down to making fun of the conio language accompanied by our latest phrase. We're always playing language games even without knowing it. Always sabaw, we are prepared for every conversation, interesting or not. Even texting, is not an exception.
Sometimes, we'd be inside the clasroom, laughing like idiots over something that I guess even you (reader) wouldn't find funny at all. Sometimes we'd just be lurking at the library, barging into even the most innocent atmosphere in the college and spending our free time, comforting ourselves with the aircon to temporarily escape the hot sun outside. Or you could also see us walking inside the Robinson's Mall, looking around, criticizing even those (in)security guards who welcome you whenever you enter the mall. Sometimes you'd see us at the GAB Canteen, chatting with the people at Smokey's (a hotdog stand), drinking iced coffee and still, laughing like idiots while talking to each other. So what if we always laugh? Laugh, laugh, laugh. What's the point of hiding happiness anyway?
DotA is our sanctuary, the ever reliable realm of that game never failed to amuse us. From using the hero names as counterparts of some of our blockmates in the real world to creating weird names and phrases from past 'experiences' in class, the game turns out to be more thrilling than it was without doing those things. We'll be having more fun, now that we have more people to play it with. And with every game we play, we always have this thought that 'this is for the block' blah, and that we should win it for the glory of Block 20.
From corny to funny, these things just happen 'unexpectedly', and we don't give a damn about them. We just don't want the class to turn out boring for us, and we like what we are doing. Block 20 Boys will always be Block 20 Boys. Hats off, you gay noobs.
"Over our dead bodies, we love OT." - a recent quote from EM, AU and AV. Though DP was not with us that time, I know he'd also agree. I just know, oompa loompa. :)

Before I get myself killed by a 300-point Histo II exam tomorrow, I'll just use this opportunity to introduce the Top Ten so-called 'prisoners' of Block 20, the potential patients waiting in line at the 7th Ward of the PGH, the Psychiatric Ward. It's fun being with us, by the way. Try laughing out loud (literally) when we're around, whatever it is, we will surely laugh with you.
[The names were hidden by using their initials, to protect the real identity of the persons (except number 7, who happens to be yours truly). Anyway, you know yourselves, don't you?]
JO [Patient Number One]: Better known as my 'bespren,' she is the most (hyper) active in the block. Considering the fact that she is a girl, she has always been tagged with the nickname 'Manny,' because she also lives in Pacman's hometown, General Santos. And, she's proud of it. Famous quotation: "Heehee!!"
KL [Patient Number Two]: The only 'baliw' in our block (but she's currently recruiting allies, including JO), hates LA a lot. She's annoyed by noisy people (sergeant at arms, eh?) but she is noisy herself. She even had a recent quotation to mark, but I'd rather not say the whole phrase here. "Huwag kang mag-react...."
RR [Patient Number Three]: She's another jolly person in the block. She has been greeting everyone "Merry Christmas" lately, while singing Christmas Carols. By the way, her name should always come in 'BIGGIE' sizes. This lady here has so many boy_friends. Famous quotation: "Ang labo mo."
DM [Patient Number Four]: My former 'sweetie' (she doesn't want it anymore and I don't know why), she is another sabaw woman. She would usually utter words at the wrong place, at the wrong time. She's fun to be with, practically. Famous quotation: "Sabaw."
MM [Patient Number Five]: A nocturnal human being whom I call 'bru' (she calls me that nickname, too) She has the voice of a boy teenager (nagbibinata hahaha), and when combined with RR and DM, it's a blast. She knows basically anything and everything under the sun. Famous quotation: "Hay, life. :-<"
LA [Patient Number Six]: Ah, LA. He's a proud member of the UP Manila Chorale, gifted with a glorious voice, and a tremendous body figure (Peace be with you). Aside from his 'gorgeous' body which RR called the Pangaea, he is also known for his famous quotation, "I hate you."
AU [Patient Number Seven]: No comment. I'd just say he's also one of the patients. He is the author of this blog so please, if you do not mind, do not protest anymore.
EM [Patient Number Eight]: He is a friend of AU and DP, known for his hilarious drawings of some professors (even blockmate(s) sometimes). He is AU's partner in crime whenever he feels like teasing 'someone' or making issues in the block, and that includes our professors. Famous quotation: "(yells anything)!!!!!!!"
DP [Patient Number Nine]: He is another partner in crime of AU or EM, he loves to set things on fire. When Patients 7, 8, and 9 come together, they form the unstoppable 'UPM' gang, or when with AV, they're also known as *'PAID'. Famous quotation: "Sunugin."
AT & GC [Patients Number Ten]: These two are the least AB normal people of the block, and they still need some more 'attention'. However, when with JO, they form the infamous 'Powerpuff Girls,' another strong alliance in the block.
When you call GC, it should always be in the form of "Hi G!" and always smile afterwards. She never fails to smile everyday, and knows it whenever I want to throw a joke. Famous quotation: "Hi A! :)"
AT however, has a tendency to replace patient 9, because she has been showing the 'signs' lately. She is always teased for her height, and now for her bad bathing habits. Famous quotation: "n_n"
Whoever you are, currently reading this blog entry: Think of this nonsense as something helpful to you. If you think you are the most abnormal person alive, think again. Think twice (or thrice, if that is the case). At least now you know there are people like you, or even worse than you, who think differently from the others. It is a gift, not a curse. Look at the bright side: Now you know who to avoid whenever you go to Robinson's Place Ermita. Mind you, there are thirty of us, and these persons are just the top ten who qualified.

Think it over. I just did.
*The PAID group has recently come up with their latest project last November, The U.P. Bulag Organization (U.B.O.) The organization aims to beg for alms to be able to enjoy their Christmas. Their motto is: Piso mo, Pasko ko. They have just finished Phase One of the project at the RH lobby, and will now move to CAMP.

Warning: Some of the pictures you are about to see [specially the last one] are not suitable for children under 12 years of age. They are extremely explicit in content, view them at your own risk. And please reader, whoever you are, behave accordingly.
Recent comments from the post: Hang..over, show that the (un)fortunate readers of this blog are eager to witness the highly-anticipated pictures from the talent show, while laughing their hearts out. Due to insistent public demand, I now present them to you. I know they're long overdue, sorry. By the way, I have recently switched to Blogger Beta, after thinking it over for two days. (So what? We want the pictures.)
First up, let me introduce my blockmates. Well, at least most of them.
Block 20 goes to Ilocos, August 26, 2006

Sitting down, from left: Ian, Chamie, Dom, Mia, Edz, Arnel, Krisi, Alison, Pam
Standing up, from left: Anna, Grace, Jane, Prof. Mateo, Joan, Steffi, Candice, Nelle, Iumi, Karylle, Marest, Glaiza, Denis
Here now are the pictures from practices and from the talent show.

The PT Posse

The SP Posse
From left: Cathy, Jane, Dom, Edz
And now, without further ado, here's what you've always been waiting for: our transformation. Remember, I warned you from the start of this entry. View it at your own risk.
Please take note: The 'gays' that you see in the picture are not real gays. They just did it for fun.
Back row, center: Denis (Bossley)
Second row, from left: Edz, Jane, Karylle, Anna, Raina
Front row, from left: Ian (Blossom), Arnel (Cherry)
This picture above officially ends the block 20 photo marathon / scandal. I decided not to post the picture of the so-called 'boss' of the chinabels, Mabela, as it would only worsen the case of this blog (peace). At least now you know who to avoid when you go to Robinson's Place Manila. After seeing the last picture, I highly doubt it if you'll go back to my blog ever again.
*thanks to Karylle for uploading the pictures!
*Reming changed its course and will no longer hit Manila.. (useless suspension of classes..)
