The ten commandments of a REAL "rakista"

**Applies only in the Philippines

1. Don't OVERWEAR.
       - You know what i mean. Real rakistas never, EVER wear overly excessive accesorries that makes you look like a sorry idiot in public. Yes, those hideous eyeliner things and those gay plastic bracelets and cuffs only fat emo losers wear.

2. Never listen to EMO music.
      - Yes, Emo like Green day, Simple Plan, New Found Glory and all those other suicidal freaks who always have something to complain about the popular kids and the adults around them. God, please. All of you Emo kids out there just go home and cry to your momma's lap and commit suicide under my car.. for the sake of everybody in this world.

3. Never listen to EMO music and claim it's hard core rock.
       - In respect to number 2. Seriously, if you think that EMO is already hard-core rock, i would suggest you try listening to the REAL hard core rockers such as Slipknot, Evanescence, Slapshock, Nightwish, Cheese and etc. And don't tell me that they're posers, coz i will beat the crap outta you. Consider that a threat.

4. People who claim that they're hard-core rockers but owns a CD of Ashlee Simpson are hard-core POSERS.
       - Oh load.. AshLIPSYNCson, rock?? PLEASE!!! *rolls eyes*

5. We don't watch, let alone get hooked, on sappy TELENOVELAS.
       - The hell.

6. We let other people notice us without being obvious that we are rakistas.
       - In respect to no.1. Coz like i've said, a real rakista never overwears. We wear normal clothes and look normal outside, and yet, people notice the AURA in us. We don't shout around "HOY! RAKISTA AKO!" in any way. The real rakista spirit is not superficial and isn't measured by how your clothes look.

7. Knows the local rock bands.
     - Yes, like Rivermaya, Eraserheads, Bamboo, MYMP (not exactly rock but uh--), 6cyclemind, Sugarfree, Kitchie Nadal and many more. Those who likes foreign bands better are not real rakistas, but only either joins the bandwagon or was brainwashed by MTV.

8. We're non-conformists.
     - Yes, we're always against the flow.

9. Always an Insomiac
     - Because we're nocturnal beings. ROFL

10. Must Abhor POP or anything of the sort.
     - If you claim that you're a rakista and you think that justin timberlake is hot, get the hell out of here.

P.S.:

It's nothing to be taken seriously. Meron lang akong pinasasaringan. <3
