The What-Now?

2011-07-12T14:16:00.002+08:00

And so I'm back from outer space.

What's been happening since August 2009?
-Not much really, just focused more on other stuff like career (technical writing), baking, running, eating, exploring... Although lately, I haven't been baking and selling cookies (as documented in my other blog Puffy Chews ) It's just that raw materials are more expensive now and I'm more calorie-conscious now. ha!

What to expect on this blog from now on?
- well, not much again. hehe. I would just want to keep this blog updated and to share more information about what I like to do, interests, funny factoids etc.

so moving forward...

Return of the comeback!

"The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be."

Guilty Pleasure

2009-08-17T22:05:00.003+08:00

This was BNO's topic tonight and lately my guilty pleasure is listening to korean girl groups.
It started with the 'nobade nobade' and then this:

Can't find an official vid for this song yet.
I don't know, but I can't help but smile listening to the melody and the lyrics that I can't understand. haha!

"PUNTA TAYO SA FIESTA!" yun yon e!

Make Things Happen

2009-08-14T23:24:00.003+08:00

Got this from my friend Andrea. Sorry guys, this is for tha ladies. ;P

Someone will always be prettier.
They will always be smarter.
Their house will be bigger.
They will drive a better car.
Their children will do better in school.
And their husband will fix more things around the house.
So let it go,
and love you and your circumstances.
Think about it.
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.
And the most highly favored
Woman on your job may be unable to have children.
And the richest woman you know,
she's got the car, the house, the clothes....might be lonely.
And the word says if "I have not Love, I am nothing."
So, again, love you.
Love who you are.
Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say
"I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed!"
"Winners make things happen.
Losers let things happen."

On the other hand, I would like to share my favorite videoke piece...

Perfect Score!

Super Cr3w's Dance Compilation

America's Best Dance Crew Season 2 Winner.

I know, long overdue.

Glad I was able to follow that season and happy that they won. Similar with another fave of mine-Jabbawockeez, they also have Pinoys in their crew. Brown pride.

Just Dance

2009-08-11T20:49:00.001+08:00

Since I'm not watching Lady Gaga's concert tonight, I found a good alternative...

"A farewell request from Perez and a farewell thanks from the fifth grade PS22 Chorus of 2009 to the man who was the driving force behind putting the kids on the map. After posting 5 of their videos this school year alone, Perez Hilton has brought millions of viewers, both directly and indirectly, into the world of the PS22 Chorus. Big thanks for believing in these kids, and for raising awareness to the importance of music and the arts in education. Indebted.

So when I found out he wanted a Lady Gaga song, I was a little petrified! I honestly didn't know if we could pull something like that off. But the kids were asking for Lady Gaga themselves, so I put it on them to rewrite some of the lyrics to "Just Dance" to make it something that would be okay for school. And with just a little lyrical tweaking on their part, they totally recreated this song. I dare say ithey completely ROCK IT!!! Along with the two Tori Amos (Flavor and Gold Dust) and Bjork (One Day, Joga) songs we did this year, this might be my favorite cover out of this year's group. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! And as you see the kids do too!"

Just da da da Dance!

Ninoy's letter to his daughter Ballsy

2009-08-10T23:40:00.003+08:00

>>> got this from a friend's post in FB. Ninoy's such a great writer. I can picture myself attending his eldest daughter's 18th birthday. hehe!

===============
August 18, 1973
FortBonifacio
Makati , Rizal

Ms. Maria Elena C. Aquino
25 Times St. Quezon City

My dearest Ballsy,

I write you this letter with tears in my eyes and as if steel fingers are crushing my heart because I wanted so much to be with you as you celebrate your legal emancipation. Now that you have come of age, my love, a voice tells me that I am no longer young and suddenly, I feel old.

An old poet gave this advice very long ago “when you are sad, remember the roses will bloom in December.” I want to send you bouquet of roses, big red roses from my dreamland garden. Unfortunately for the present, my roses are not in bloom, in fact they have dropped all their petals and only the thorns are left to keep me company. I do think it is fitting to send you a thicket of thorns on this memorable day!

I am very proud of you because you have inherited all the best traits of your mother. You are sensible, responsible, even-tempered and sincere with the least pretenses and affection which vehemently detest in a woman. I am sure like your mother, you will possess that rare brand of silent courage and that combination of fidelity and fortitude that will be the life vest of your man in the tragic moments of his life.

During my lonely hours of solitary confinement in FortMagsaysay, Laur, Nueva Ecija last March and April with nothing else to do but pray and daydream, with only my fond memories to keep me company, I planned a weekend barrio fiesta for you in Tarlac for your 18th birthday. I fooled myself into believing that my ordeal would end with the fiscal year. I planned to invite all your classmates and friends and their families for the weekends.

The schedule called for an early departure by bus from Manila and the first stop will be Concepcion , where lunch will be served by the pool. And after lunch, you were to visit the SantaRitaElementary School to distribute cookies and ice cream to the children of that public school where you were first enrolled.

I guess sheer nostalgia prompted me to include Santa Rita. We were only three then: Mommie, you and I. Those were the days of happy memories little responsibilities, tremendous freedom, a great future ahead and capped by a fulfillment of love.. You are the first fruit of our union, the first proof of our love and the first seal of our affections.

From Concepcion we were to proceed to Luisita for the barrio fiesta. I intended to invite a friend who could roast an entire cow succulently. Swimming, pelota, dancing and eating would have been the order of the day.
Sunday morning was reserved for a trip around the Hacienda and the mill and maybe golf for some of the parents and later a picnic-lunch on Uncle Tony’s Island . Return to Manila after lunch. I am afraid this will have to remain as one of the many dreams I had in Laur.

Our future has suddenly become uncertain and our fate unknown. I am even now beginning to doubt whether I’ll ever be able to return to you and the family. Hence, I would like to ask you these special favors.

Love your mother, whose love for you, you will never be able to match. She is not the greatest mother in the world, she is your sincerest friend.

Take care of your younger sisters and brother and lavish them with the love and care I would like to continue giving them but am unable to do so.

Help Noy-noy along and pray hard that he will grow to be a real, responsible man who in later years will protect you all.

You are the model for your three younger sisters. Your responsibility is therefore great. Please endeavor to live up to our highest expectations. Be more tolerant to Pinky, more accessible to Viel, our little genius-princess, and more charitable to Krissy, our baby doll, and make up for my neglect.

Finally, forgive me, my love, for not having been an ideal, good and thoughtful father to you all as I pursued public office. I had hopes and high resolve of making up, but I am afraid my destiny will not oblige.
I seal this letter with a drop of tear and a prayer in my heart, that somehow, somewhere we shall meet again and I will finally be able to make up for all my lapses, in the kingdom where justice reigns supreme and love is eternal.

I love you,
Dad

Mga Kababayan ko, basahin nyo

2009-08-09T17:49:00.003+08:00

Wala na sa piling ng mga Pilipino,
Tinig ng awiting Mga Kababayan Ko,
At lumisan na rin noong isang Sabado,
Inang nagpalipad sa awiting Bayan Ko.
Ako’y sumasaludo, paalam Pangulo,
May isa ‘kong lihim, kay tagal itinago,
Sa lahat nang inabot kong mga namuno,
Tanging ikaw lang sa luha ko’y nagpatulo.

Marami ang nalungkot sa iyong pagyao,
Magalang ang lahat at puno ng respeto,
Nagpasalamat pa nga Kapamilya sa ‘yo,
Dahil kanilang himpilan naibalik mo.

* * *

Subalit ano itong nabalitaan ko?
Nangyari noong Lunes, a-tres ng Agosto,
Habang inililipat ang mga labi mo,
Ika’y parang nabastos sa isang TV show.

At ang napakasaklap at masakit dito,
Ang nambastos pa’y kapamilya ng anak mo,
Napanood ito ng tao at publiko,
Kakaunti na nga, ngunit lahat nahilo.

Sabi ng TV host na mainit ang ulo
Pagkakita sa video na kanyang kasalo,
“Sandali, meron akong ano… sa’ting ano…
Hindi naman sa ano,” nagkaanu-ano!

Ayon sa Internet, meron pa s’yang nasambit,
“Sana pakitanggal muna ‘yan sa’ting traffic…”
At ‘di maaalis sa iyong pag-iisip,
Ang parada ng patay ang pinaliligpit!

At dagdag pa daw ng naghahari-harian,
“I don’t think na dapat n’yong ipakita iyan…”
Nasaan naman ang paggalang, o nasaan?
Mga sinasabi natin minsa’y pag-ingatan.

At ‘di pa nangimi nang sumunod na araw,
Pinilit pa ring ginawa n’ya ay tama raw,
Mga nakarinig ‘di na nakagalaw
At ayon sa iba sila na la’y napa-wow!

“… Pero ako, totoo ‘ko eh … “, sabi kuno,
Totoo nga at totoo ring walang modo,
Pwede namang sabihin itong pa-sikreto,
Kaya’t wala na rin mga paliwanag mo.

“Kung ganyan, pakita na lang ‘yan!”, ang hamon pa,
Para bang ang prusisyon nila-“lang - lang” lang ba,
Ang pangasiwaan ay pinapili pa n’ya,
Sumunod ang himpilan, nung August 5 wala s’ya.

May mga komentong pwede nang pang-harapan,
“On camera” baga sa TV ang tawag d’yan
At kung sensitibo man ang gustong bitawan,
Pagpasok ng commercial, hintayin mo na lang.

Matutong magbaba muna ng mikropono
At saka idikta lahat ng iyong gusto,
Lagi kang mataas lahat daw takot sa ‘yo,
Ratings lang ang mababa — totoo ba ito?

The breaking news breaks your heart — at ‘yan ang bawi mo,
Nang mahalata mong sumablay ang pasok mo,
Pero sigurado ika’y maa-abswelto,
‘Di ba ikaw rin ang may-ari ng network n’yo?

Nung Hueves nag-apologize sa diario naman,
O, akala ko ba wala kang kasalanan,
Tapos ng angalan, sunod paliwanagan —
COMPLAIN before you EXPLAIN ka na naman!

O ito kaya ay isa na namang “glitch” lang,
Tulad ng “two-zero” ‘di na natin nalaman,
O ito ay maliwanag na kabobohan?
Sa tingin ng marami, mahirap lusutan.

Ang sabi ng iba — istupidong mayabang,
At giit ng iba — istupidong mayaman,
Mayaman man o mayabang ang tiyak diyan,
Napakayaman n’ya sa kaistupiduhan.

Buti pa ang apat na honor guards ni Cory —
Sina Malab, Laguindan, Rodriguez, Cadiente,
Walong oras tumayo sa ulan at viaje,
Ang lahat ay tiniis at walang sinabi.

Samantalang ikaw na may bubong sa ulo,
Komportable ka lang sa malamig na studio,
Nang kapirasong libing sa TV sumalo,
Angal at inis ang sumambulat sa iyo.

Maaari din namang pabayaan na s’ya,
Subalit ang nangyari’y mabigat talaga,
Namayapang pangulo’y huling paalam na,
‘Di mo pa pinagbigyan … hoy, nag-iisa ka!

At nais ko lang sabihin at ipagyabang
Sa mahigit na s’yam na libong tanghalian,
Sa limang pangulong sa Bulaga’y dumaan,
Kahit isa wala kaming nilapastangan.

Bob Ong Quotes

2008-09-18T07:08:00.000+08:00

from Cieri

" Pag pinag-agawan ka malamang maganda o gwapo ka. Tandaan mo: Sumama ka sa mabuti, di sa mabait. Sa marunong, di sa matalino. Higit sa lahat , sa mahal ka, di sa gusto ka."

“Kung hindi mo mahal and isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya..”

“Ayokong nasasanay sa mga bagay na pwede namang wala sa buhay ko.”

“Hinahanap mo nga ba ako o ang kawalan ko?”

“…mas marami pa s’yang alam kesa sa nakasulat sa Transcript of Records n’ya, mas marami pa s’yang kayang gawin kesa sa nakalista sa resume n’ya, at mas mataas ang halaga n’ya kesa sa presyong nakasulat sa payslip n’ya tuwing sweldo.”

”…madaming teacher sa labas ng eskwelahan. desisyon mo kung kanino ka magpapaturo.”

“Nalaman kong hindi final exam ang passing rate ng buhay. Hindi ito multiple choice, identification, true or false, enumeration or fill-in-the-blanks na sinasagutan kundi essay na isinusulat araw-araw. Huhusgahan ito hindi base sa kung tama o mali ang sagot, kundi base sa kung may kabuluhan ang mga isinulat o wala. Allowed ang erasures.”

”Mag-aral maigi; Kung titigil ka sa pag-aaral, manghihinayang ka sa pagtanda mo dahil hindi mo naranasan ang kakaibang ligayang dulot ng mga araw na walang pasok o suspendido ang klase o absent ang teacher.”

“…ayokong sabihing susubok naman ako ng iba. Walang “iba”. Wala akong iiwan, meron lang babalikan. Kung meron mang iba sa ginawa ko, yun ay ang Bobong Pinoy. Kung may magsasabi man sa hinaharap na: “Sana nagpatawa ka na lang!” Yun ay opinyong handa kong tanggapin. Marami ang kaya at pwedeng gumawa ng mga isinusulat ko ngayon para sa mga mambabasa, pero ang gusto kong isulat at gawin para sa sarili, walang pwedeng tumupad kundi ako. Inumpisahan ko ang dialogue sa ikatlong libro para ipakilala sa mambabasa ang fiction. Umatras pa ‘ko ng bahagya sa ikaapat para mas maging kumportable sila dito. Sa mga susunod pa, pwede na siguro ako magtangka ng maikling kwento o nobela. Tulad ng pagsusulat ko, ayoko rin kasi malimitahan ang pagbabasa ng mga tao sa iisang klase ng libro…”

“iba ang informal gramar sa mali!!!”

“Masama akong tao, tulad mo, sa parehong paraan na mabuti kang tao, tulad ko.”

“Kung kabayo gagawa ng libro mahirap maging palaging politically correct para sa mga damo”

“Kung ako ay isang walang kwentang manunulat, english ang isusulat ko, para kahit anu anu ang sabihin ko hindi na nila mahahalata.. Kaya nga ako nagsulat sa tagalog para maintindihan ng mambabasa ang lahat ng sinasabi ko”

“Wag magmadali sa pag-aasawa. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon sa hinaharap, mag-iiba pa ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong di pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang sa kaboses niya si Debbie Gibson o magaling mag-breakdance. Totoong mas importante ang kalooban ng tao higit anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan sa eskwelahan e nagmumukha ring pandesal. Maniwala ka.”

“Hikayatin mo lahat ng kakilala mo na magkaroon kahit isa man lang paboritong libro sa buong buhay nila..dahil walang

mas nakakaawa pa sa mga taong literado pero hindi nagbabasa “

“Kung paniniwalaan namin kayo na hindi naglaro ng tubig kahit na basa ang damit n’yo, kayo ang niloloko namin; Hindi kayo ang nakapanloloko.”

“Para san ba ang cellphone na may camera? Kung kailangan sa buhay un, dapat matagal na kong patay.”

“Iba ang walang ginagawa sa gumagawa ng wala”

” Hikayatin mo lahat ng kakilala mo na magkaroon ng kahit isa man lang paboritong libro sa buhay nila. Dahil wala nang mas kawawa pa sa mga taong literado pero hindi nagbabasa. “

“Kumain ka na ng siopao na may palamang pusa o maglakad sa bubog nang nakayapak, pero wag na wag kang susubok mag-drugs. Kung hindi mo kayang umiwas, humingi ka ng tulong sa mga magulang mo dahil alam nila kung saan ang mga murang supplier at hindi ka nila iisahan.”

“Obligasyon kong maglayag, karapatan kong pumunta sa kung saan ko gusto, responsibilidad ko ang buhay ko.”

“Nalaman kong habang lumalaki ka, maraming beses kang madadapa. Bumangon ka man ulit o hindi, magpapatuloy ang buhay, iikot ang mundo, at mauubos ang oras.”

“Masama akong tao, tulad mo, sa parehong paraan na mabuti kang tao, tulad ko.”

Buhay Amerika

2007-11-17T23:03:00.000+08:00

Got this from Tiffy's site (tiffymoon.multiply.com)

===============================================================

(Got this from a friend... who got it from her e-groups)

Akala ng mga tao na nasa Pilipinas kapag nasa America ka akala nila madami ka ng pera. Ang totoo, madami kang utang, dahil credit card lahat ang gamit mo sa pagbili mo ng mga gamit mo. Kailangan mo gumamit ng credit card para magka-credit history ka, kase pag hindi ka umutang o wala kang utang, hindi ka pagkakatiwalaan ng mga kano. Pag wala kang credit card, ibig sabihin wala kang kapasidad magbayad.

Akala nila mayaman ka na kase may kotse ka na. Ang totoo, kapag hindi ka bumili ng kotse sa America maglalakad ka ng milya-milya sa ilalim ng init ng araw o kaya sa snow. Walang jeepney, tricycle o padyak sa America.

Akala nila masarap ang buhay dito sa America. Ang totoo, puro ka trabaho kase pag di ka nagtrabaho, wala kang pangbayad ng bills mo sa kotse, credit card, ilaw, tubig, insurance, bahay at iba pa. Hindi ka na pwedeng tumambay sa kapitbahay kase busy din sila maghanap buhay pangbayad ng bills nila.

Akala nila masaya ka kase nagpadala ka ng picture mo sa Disney, Seaworld, Six Flags, Universal Studios at iba pang attractions. Ang totoo, kailangan mo ngumiti kase nagbayad ka ng $70+ para makarating ka dun, kailangan mo na naman ang 10 hours na sweldo mong pinangbayad sa ticket.

Akala nila malaki na ang kinikita mo kase dolyar na sweldo mo. Ang totoo, malaki pagpinalit mo ng peso, pero dolyar din ang gastos mo sa America. Ibig sabihin, ang dolyar mong kinita sa presyong dolyar mo din gagastusin. Ang P15.00 na sardinas sa Pilipinas $1.00 sa America, ang isang pakete ng sigarilyo sa pilipinas P 40.00, sa America $6.50, ang upa mo sa bahay na P 10,000 sa pilipinas, sa America $1,000++.

Akala nila buhay milyonaryo ka na kase ang ganda ng bahay at kotse mo. Ang totoo milyon ang utang mo. Ang bago mong kotse 5 taon mong huhulugan. Ang bahay 30 taon mong huhulugan. Ibig sabihin, alipin ka ng bahay at kotse mo.

Madaming naghahangad na makarating sa America. Lalo na mga nurses, mahirap maging normal na manggagawa sa Pilipinas. Madalas pagod ka sa trabaho. Pag dating ng sweldo mo, kulang pa sa pagkain mo. Pero ganun din sa ibang bansa katulad ng America. Hindi ibig sabihin dolyar na ang sweldo mo, yayaman ka na, kailangan mo ding magbanat ng buto para mabuhay ka sa ibang bansa. Isang malaking sakripisyo ang pag alis mo sa bansang pinagsilangan at malungkot iwanan ang mga mahal mo sa buhay. Hindi pinupulot ang pera dito o pinipitas. Hindi ako naninira ng pangarap, gusto ko lang buksan ang bintana ng katotohanan.

pero una sa lahat, paano ba yun basahin???

/loob lana/?, /hoob hana/?, /iljoo bel jana/?

natapos ko na ang life story ni Veronika and I still don't know how to pronounce her country's capital.

Rakrakan naaaa!!!

Gusto ko mag standing-ovation kay Paulo Coelho-ibang klase! isang henyo. Pag nakita ko siya papalakpak ako at tatalon. Mantakin mo yun na connect nya ang creation of man sa judiciary system. He opened a whole new dimension of perspective on life, love, living, faith, God, people, sanity/insanity... grrrrabbehhh, info overload. Parang gusto ko na reng maging writer, kaso I ain't coherent enough. haha!

I dunno, but I barely remember what The Alchemist is all about. Parang wala siyang gaanong impact sa'ken gaya ng 11 Minutes (na kahit last copy na at mukhang naanod- sa-baha-tapos-tinuyo, binili ko pa ren) and Veronika Decides to Die (Thanks, Jek!) at currently The Pilgrimage. Or maybe I just need to re-read it. Or baka dahil sa sobrang lalim-di ko naintindihan. (aminin na kasi) Basta! galing galing mo Paulo! henge brains!

before I hand you the tissue for your nosebleed (yabang e noh. perfect ka, matalino ka) Lemme explain:

nagkasakit ako. UTI powered up with fever and lower back pain. oh yess, malala na. Axshully, saturday afternoon palang (04-21) may sinat na ko, eh nakuha ng Bioflu. So rest lang ng Sunday then went to work the ff day. But when I woke up Tuesday afternoon, bumilog na ang mundo and so I was socially fragmented till Friday. Am so really trying to avoid being absent while I'm still a probationary housemate. Without-pay na, without-healthcard pa! sheesh! Ka mahal pa naman makipagchitchat kay Doc. (hehehe! Hi Doc!) Then of course medicines pa and cranberry juice is expensive. Btw, I was already feelin' the infection prior to the sinat episode, so water galore lang. Weniways...

While I was socially fragmented, I missed:
1. 4 days of precious moolah
2. Taho breakfast

10. be impressed by Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. Fighter jets taking off for just 2 seconds at 25 seconds interval. How did they do that?
11. Fraser Island's highway is literally the seashore
12. appreciate Silent Sanctuary more
13. discover why a lot are goin' ga-ga over Maging Sino Ka Man. (you nailed it John Lloyd, "malaya ka na, walang bisa kasal naten" return-of-the-ring scene. tearjerker!)
14. Octopus(es) are intelligent
15. find Ellen Degeneres very funny. Her dog's name is Pig. hehe!!!
16. know what an Elvis-in-Vegas pose is.
17. somehow realize that conch /konk/ tastes good
18. find out that the really good lemons are the bumpy ones
19. perspire a lot
20. do connect-the-dots on my arm due to msquito bites. la kasi electric fan.
21. watch Coach Carter and Monster in Law

Garfield Mondays

2007-04-03T09:10:00.000+08:00

ang hirap tuwing Lunes,
para kang laging out of sync
di mo alam kung anung gagawin mo
which is ironic, kasi sa sub-conscious mind mo
alam na alam mo yon
and the same routine happens almost 50x
each single friggin' day last week/month
tinatamad ka bumangon, gumalaw, mag-isip
funny how kasi ung first caller ko feels the same way
hindi niya maibigay sa'kin fax number ng office nila
for where he's been working for the past coupla months.
*laughter* "Yes sir, I'm having those too." *laughter*
isa pang wala pa sa tiempo.

kain nalang akong lasagna!

of Taho and friends

2007-03-30T08:48:00.000+08:00

a little taho...
some heartfelt laughter...
from a friend's wacky story...
some helpful unsolicited advices...
from a new-old friend...
and then some sabaw... SOLB! Masaya na ang bulate!

may masabi lang

2007-03-28T09:08:00.000+08:00

because I told myself that I'll be keeping my blog active- poof! POST!

*racks brain* so what's bloggable about today. Well, I spoke to a spanish customer and there were just 2 words that I uttered in the whole conversation, "Si/Gracias" bwahahaha! But I understand what she was saying like her social security number (dos, kwatro chorva) and her address for which she said 'Direccion'. I better go watch Dora.

Tanong lang: Anu ung paputok na Piccolo? Hanu itsura nun? Baket maraming nasugatan dahil dun samantalang hinahagisan daw nun si Poopee sa booo-ked. Hahaha!

At baket, ayaw gumana ng friendster dito sa bahay?! sa office naman meron! When I type my username and password, it reverts back to the log-in page. Could this be one of the site's glitches? Even Mark's ID doesn't work. Paging: Tech support!!!

Bagong taon ay mag bagong buhay....

1. Be healthier (mag diet, achochorva...)
2. save, save SAVE!
3. Be GOOD (100x)

-Stop complaining/ whining. Think first.

-Be punctual. And I mean punct! (labo!)

and many many more....

Had my first assisted live calls this afternoon (CST, naknam!) wahhhh! freak out to the max. Thanks to my very supportive trainor, Jak. huwaaa!!! I would have literally nose-bled if not for you. Pics to follow. Generally they were all fine. No very thick southern accent, irate basta smooth sailing. Funny pa kasi we had this caller who's joking around, the Frymier couple. Thankfully na gets ko na nagjojoke sila. (Yun yon eh. Kala mo Kuas ha, improving na ko! ibang level na toh! bwahahaha!) Still have lots of things to improve on though but not bad for starters. Hayyyy!

Orayt! Let's kick some ass! Friendsterrrrrrrrrr!!! Grrrr....

Dec. 17, YA Christmas party @ Jeb's House - "Face-the-Wall Queen." Moment

So shempre, 7am worship muna, Bible study about Nativity ng YA time, some shopping at Rob. with Rona then party time! Ang saya saya! Daming food, daming friends, daming gifts/prizes/awards, daming games, daming videos/pictures/scandals(?)-- all good vibes. Kaya Face-the-Wall Queen; it's because I goofed the game twice! Kumbaga isa nalang fouled-out nako. haha! May on-the-spot presentation pa, Group 1's Swing-out number, Group 2's Silent Night Tunog Tao featuring Sisa/Tatarin (sabi daw ni Jai na sabi ni Chasha) Interpretative Dance and Group 3's We saw the Sign dance number. Everybody wacky so everybody happy!

Dec. 24, Ellinwood Malate Church - Everlasting Light Cantata

Wala na kong moment dito, kay JC na itoh. After 6 months, dizzizit! Super kaka-bless na dedication of my fellow youth choir members, Ate Grace, Josh the pianist, dancers and everyone who participated and of course Christ's birth made this very special and meaningful. I'm happy, proud and blessed na kasali ako dito kahit wala gaanong practice. hehe! buti nalang magaling ako mag-memorize. ching!

E paano ba yan, mukhang may quota na ata tlga ngayon tong blogger, 2 pics per post nalang. tsk tsk! nek time nek time.

parang dumaan lang ang 2006 and now it's about to end...
parang pangalawang post ko palang ito ngayong Dec...
flashback na itoh!!!

Dec. 9, Bellevue Hotel.
"Inay, isa na kong ganap na tao!" Moment
Never thought, that a decade-old long velvet skirt with 150-peso black belt and Kate Spade pumps (sori naman, sale eh, 70% off!) would be a fashionable ensemble. To all who noticed that I walked like a man (kanta yun ah!)- Pachincha na, pers taym kong umakyat ng stage for this kind of thingy.

Dec. 16, Don Bosco Makati Chapel - "Dahil hindi natutulog ang baKlita." Moment

Straight from work-Candle Sponsor (together with Mark) ang drama ko naman ngayon. Hindi ko kasi matanggihan ang reception sa Intercon afterwards, JOKE! I am truly honored to be a part of this chorva with my former immediate sup./buddy/kalokohan mate/big sister, Ellen- who finally found heppiness and peace. Dapat may part two yan sa Galera ha, where all the chenes began. hmm, malapit na anniv non, Jan 7! Gusto lang isingit kung paano itinaas ang buhok ko jan- Hair pins and Spraynet- un lang! Hindi pa ako nakuntento, derecho naman sa Ellinwood for cantata practice. Last saturday kasi ito bago ang Big Event kaya pinilit ko talaga. Besides, I can't go to the weekday-practices anymore. (Side kwento: May bagong 2nd-hand N91 si Poopie.) Eyebags ko hanggang leeg ko na. At hindi pa natatapos jan, we droppped by the Southside Carshow sa Westgate pa and had dinner at Hotshots from across- the-street Petron. And I finally flopped in my bed!

ok ok ok! so ayaw na mag post ng picture. Hmph! o sige to be continued...

BTW, had a nice BS kanina courtesy of- shempre Ate Grace, which is about Nativity. It's history, prophecy and all the achochorva. Made me refocus and reflect on the true meaning of the season-Jesus Christ!

so blessed...

Ang saya habulin ng dilim. Got home early, 5:30AM. Saan ka pa? Aga talaga. Slept right away and woke up around 11:00AM. Salamat naman at kahit papaano, 1 hour nalang ang kulang ko sa quota to a healthy living.

Paging: Last-pay ko.

To ask: "What's taking you so damn long???

Napabahing ako sa dami ng agiw sa blog na toh! Joke! May sipon talaga ako and prior to this, got a bad sore throat kaya leave muna ako sa blog ko. (palusot?!) Besides, I'm too much of a bum and I can't seem to find something sensible to blog about. (as if I'm making one, ha!)

Due to insistent Chasha demand, eto na! (uy, special mention!)

Q: Anung sasabihen mo sa bampira pag mangungutang ka sa kanya?

Indeed, it's sembreak time! Mejo 2 years ko na reng hindi nararanasan 'toh, ganito pala ang feeling- wala lang! hehe. And apart from the normal 'sembreak', more than 1 month na 'tong akin. Belat! Sakto, Nov. 6 back to reality na ulit. Kakaexcite din kasi next level na itoh. Meanwhile, enjoy muna sa nalalabing sembreak at magpakabusy sa paggawa ng raket para sa Trick-or-Treat. charing!

Heard outside this morning while still half asleep:

Lady: "mi-fa-do-do-do. O baka malimutan mo ha. Baka mamaya mga CHOIRER na patiwarik na naman ang labas niyo!"

'nuff said.

So happy that things once again are falling into place. This time I appreciate them putting words into my mouth.

TRIVIA: Babalik daw uli si Xangsane (a.k.a MILENYO)!!!

To say sorry...

Finally, I can see a glimpse of light at this dark tunnel. Things are somehow falling into place. I just hope it stabilizes soon and show no signs of crumbling...

Interviewer: "Why do you think we should hire you? Be unique as possible in your answer."

Me: *thinks* "You should hire me because I'm one of a kind!"

So much for trying my blog to look egzakly the way I want it to, I'm turning into a French Fry. (ngek! isa lang! Naluluto na ko sa radiation ng PC) Eh ano kung wild ang mga fonts sa gilid, it's just too much for a newbie like moi. Guess my computer science skills needs some oiling... Maybe tomorrow will be better and even tonight...

Go USTeee!!!

Meanwhile, I'll just wait for the star to shine down and lead me all the way. I truly hope that it comes soon to break this madness cycle in me.

What's the singular of french fries, anyway?

A whole new world
