From the Lingua Franca Archive: Death Cab for Cueshe

Dear Fans of When Baduy Happens: As you may already have noticed, medyo naging busy si Bakeks and Meimei this week - Meimei with her papers and comp exams, and Bakeks with... whatever it is na palaging inaatupag ni Bakeks... kaya we decided to raid the archives of their Friendster blogs for recycled content. Nagkataon pa naman na malapit na ang Cueshe and Hale By Request sa Dish kaya naisip namin na i-revive ang entry na ito by special request. We hope you enjoy this, kahit na medyo napaiyak kami sa sarcasm ng entry na ito. Enjoy! - Shaun and Arthur, head interns

PS. This picture summarizes how we feel about this article...

WARNING: Article contains uncharacteristically high amounts of sarcasm and irony. To paraphrase the lyrics of a certain song: Lahat ng hindi matatawa sa entry na ito ay magigiba!

Alam ninyo, guys, love na love ko talaga ang Cueshe. First of all, kasi sila ang the best thing that ever came out of Cebu. Alam ninyo kung gaano ko ka-love ang Cebu, hindi ba? Atsaka napaka-original at napaka-cool talaga ng mga kanta nila. Sana din pala nakasama ako doon kay Bebang noong nagpunta siya sa 826 para makipagkilala sa banda; siguro kung nakasama ako noon eh sana naging groupie na nila ako. Pero ngayon, talagang sila na talaga ang pinaka-favorite kong banda, ngayon na nalaman ko na sila pala ang cover sa latest issue ng Pulp. Totoo! Nadaig pa nga nila 'yung mga gago sa Sandwich kasi hanggang interview lang sila, eh. (Raimund, hindi bagay sa iyo ang fedora! Ibalik mo iyan kay Kris Lawrence! Tse.)

(Note from Head Intern Shaun: Baby, akala mo ba mahal mo ako? BAKIT MO AKO GINAGANITO? BAKEEEETTTT?!?!? At syanga pala, si Mong yung nakafedora, hindi si Raims. Yown lang. *cries*)

Hay naku, I love this band. I want to marry them. In fact, sumama nga ako sa isang Yahoo! group para sa kanila because they feel the same way that I do about them. Cueshe is teh sex, people! CUESHE 4EVAH OMG!!111ELEVEN111!!!

Oo, alam ko kung anong iniisip ninyo. Kahit ipagsama sama mo pa sa isang kuwarto si Diego, Mcoy, Champ, at Yael - tapos idagdag ninyo pa sina Wentworth Miller, Peter Sarsgaard, and Ludacris - talsik sa buwan silang lahat kung ididikit ninyo sa kanila ang Cueshe. Lahat nga ng mga notebook ko, eh, may nakasulat na "Mrs. Meimei Justiniani Caballero." Wahahaha.

(Note from Head Intern Shaun, ulit: Si Diego MAPA ng Pedicab po ang tinutukoy ni Meimei dito. Get that? Diego MAPA, people, MAPA. Sigurado po ako diyan! *goes back to crying*)

Kaya, guys, kung binabasa po ninyo ang blog ko, sana malaman ninyo na labs na labs ko kayong lahat, ha? Atsaka kung sakali man na magko-concert kayo sa pag-uwi ko next year, paki-play lang ang mga kantang ito para sa akin, kasi kung gagawin ninyo po ito eh malalaman ko na labs din ninyo ako. OK? Thanx!!!

Kisses, MEIMEI

PS. Good luck sa Guam gig ninyo, 'k? Sayang at hindi kayo makakapunta dito!
