Light show something @ Ayala Triangle

Para akong bata kanina habang pinapanood ang pagsayaw ng mga ilaw sa bawit saliw ng kantang pamasko. At mas naging espesyal pa ang tagpong ito nang pinanood ko ito sa tabi mo...

surfing

2010-12-10T17:35:00.000+08:00

Ang surfing ay parang pag-ibig.

Hindi maiiwasan na magkakamali ka at babagsak. Isa, dalawa, maraming beses.

Hanggang sa matapos ang iyong pagkakataon para patunayan ang iyong sarili. Tapos na ang oras mo sa instructor. Lumubog na ang araw. Wala nang susunod na pagkakataon.

Aalis ka na masakit ang katawan, masakit ang puso. Nagsisisi kung bakit hindi mo ginawa ito, hindi ginawa iyan. Maraming panghihinayang.

Pero ang importante, natuto ka at inamin ang mga pagkakamali. Na kahit iba na ang surfboard na iyong sasakyan at ang dagat na iyong susuungin, kaya mo nang sakyan ang mga alon.

Kamusta naman ang kalumaan ng blog na ito. Kung hindi pa nag blog muli sa Carla, nakalimutan ko na may nageexist ng ganitong blog na kung saan bumuhos lahat ng kalokohan at mga naranasan ko noong kolehiyo at noong nagsisimula pa lang ako magtrabaho.

Parang ginanahan akong magsulat ulit, ngayon pa na mas madaming nangyari sa akin. Mga kabiguan. Mga tagumpay. Mga pagkakamali. Mga katangahan. Mga kasiyahan. Pwede din na mga kalandian. Hihi

Parang ako ang blog na ito: confused. Di alam kung humor, entertainment, senti, technology, travel o photography blog. Pero yun nga siguro ang maganda sa akin at sa aking blog. Hindi pwedeng ikahon sa isang salita. Komplikado. Lahat pwedeng pag-usapan. Maraming pwedeng ikwento.

Tignan natin kung magtatagal ang pananabik kong ito para madagdagan ang mga nakasulat dito. Tignan natin...

2008: The year that was (walang maisip na title)

2009-01-03T16:27:00.000+08:00

The year 2008 has been a very wonderful year to me. Naks, ayos sa intro. Haha! Seriously, madaming blessings na dumating at madami ding lessons na natutunan. Kaya marami akong kelangan ipagpasalamat.

Thank you Lord for my health and also my family’s. Walang naaksidente, walang naospital. Ang pinakamalala lang ay sipon, ubo at fungal infections.

Speaking of family, salamat sa support at love na binigay nila sa akin. Hindi ko matatamo ang tagumpay kung hindi dahil sa kanila. Feeling successful. haha

Thank you Lord for my friends. Elementary, high school, college,housemates and workplace friends. Salamat sa pag-intindi sa mga mood swings (kung meron) at sa pagkakuripot (sure ito). Thank you for the friendship and the company. Hindi ko na ieenumerate lahat ng friends ha. Basta thank you.

Thank you din sa Philippines at marami na din akong napuntahan na tourist destinations for the first time ngayong taon. Puerto Galera, Sagada, Cagayan de Oro at Camiguin. Looking forward to visit more and more beautiful places. WOW Philippines ito!

Thank you SMART for my new camera. Haha. Matagal ko na pinapangarap magkaroon ng DSLR at kumuha ng mga bonggang pictures and pursue my longtime hobby.

At higit sa lahat, thank you Lord for giving me one of the greatest gifts and surprises this year, Melanie. It’s very nice to know that there is someone who loves me and someone worth loving. I love you hon! Mwahugs! Ahihihihi... :)

Yun lang. Salamat talaga sa taon na ito. I’m ready to face the new challenges that will come my way this year. 2009, here I come! (ang cliche amf)

trip lang: changing lyrics, same tune

2008-04-11T19:56:00.000+08:00

This past few days, naghahanap ako ng mga kantang nag-iiba ang kanta dahil sa isang line na ka-tono ng isa pang kanta. Sobrang nakakatawa kasi. Lalo na kung kakanta ka tapos makikisabay yung kasama mo. Tapos mag-iiba yung kanta pagdating sa isang line. Haha. Parang adik lang.

Example:
Song: Superman, Five for Fighting

I can't stand to fly...

But I don't know why. I'm jealous of the people who are not afraid to die.
And now I'm fallin, fallin, fallin fast again
Why do I always take a fall, when I fall in love.

Nyahaha! Amazing! Eto pa isa.

Song: Weak

I get so...

Bakit ikaw ang nais na matanaw nitong mga mata
Tunay kayang nabighani ako sa taglay mong ganda
(Sana Kahit Minsan by Ariel Rivera.)

bwahahahaha! Eto, last na. kinontribute ng officemate kong si Richard.

Song: In the End, Linkin Park

One thing, I don't know why...

bakit mo ako laging dini-deny
all the goods I've done wala man lang rekognition
mahilig kang manguleksyon binalewala aking atensyon
(Stupid Love, Salbakutah)

Kung may alam kayo na kagaya nung mga nasa taas, comment lang kayo. Pagbigyan niyo na ang mababaw ang kaligayahan. :P

What's keeping me busy?

2008-03-27T16:40:00.004+08:00

Its more than a month (again) since my last blog post. SO what's keeping me busy? Wala. haha. Tinatamad lang ako gumawa ng blog entry. And I don't want to waste multiply's bandwidth and space for a survey/personality test/which [insert a thing/cartoon character/whatever here] are you? test. So I decided just to keep my mouth shut (or in this case, my mouse pointer away from the create new post link and my hands away from the keyboard. :))

Actually, I'm not that busy when it comes to my work. And I don't want to rant about my work because A.) there's nothing to complain about it (well, minsan. hehe) and B.) my teammates might read it (Hi guys!). So, no blog entry about work. Maybe I can talk about my inspiration while at work, but... nevermind. :D

I've been into a lot of things lately. Some of them are current addictions (don't worry. it's not drugs or something). Some are vacation trips, get togethers and concerts. And I am loving every bit of them.

ADDICTIONS

I love Lost. :D

I'm an addict to some of the tv shows/series lately. Some of them are Lost (I like sci-fi adventure suspense stuff), House (Love the medical cases), The Office (I love the humor and the characters) and American Idol. Speaking of AI, I'm always hearing the usual "Most talented batch ever" line every season. oh c'mon. Season 4 is the best. No one can top that. But I like most of the contestants namely Michael, David C, Brooke and Ramiele.

BTW, I haven't finished those TV series yet even during my DVD marathon last Holy Week. sad. :(

CONCERTS

our Maroon 5 tix. Malayo kami kina Adam eh kaya walang picture nila na malapit.

I have been into three: Loverage during the UP Fair, My Chemical Romance and Maroon 5. Loverage is good because it is free, same with MCR. But we enjoyed Maroon 5 more because I know a lot of their songs. Even though we are in the "dukha" section, we really enjoyed the experience.

GET TOGETHERS/VACATION TRIPS

picture taken in a cave in Long Beach. Pepoy made this shot, but it's my concept. :D

Lunch and dinner outs are the best ways of catching up to the lives of your long lost friends and batchmates. But out of town trips are the ultimate bonding activity there is. It's my first time in Puerto Galera last March 15-16 and it was a blast! The scenery is beautiful, the activities are exciting and most of all, the people with me are fun to be with. I really had a blast. Too bad we didn't experience the night life. But that's okay. The banana boat, hiking, snorkeling and island hopping were fun anyway.

Well, that's it. So far so good. Hope to have more lakwatsas in the weeks to come. And I will be celebrating my 1st work anniversary next month. So that means one thing: I'm working for a year now (duh!). I also hope to update my blog frequently to improve my blogging/writing skills. I also hope that I can buy an SLR camera and learn photography. So many things to do...so little time. And money.

*gasp!*

After experiencing freedom for two months, the sometimes bored office computer-user when no work is to be done(like moi) meets it's worst enemy (again), the dreaded Surf Control.

This thing/pest is said to be existent on companies where data security and integrity is top priority (like my company. sheeesh). Or they just don't want the employees to waste bandwidth by checking their officemates Friendster/Facebook profile or exchange messages through YM. Or they just don't want the common employees to waste precious bandwidth so that the IT-Sec personnel (that implements the Surf Control) will continue to play DoTA with minimum lag.

Gone are the days of Friendster, Facebook, Youtube, Multiply (gasp!) and YM that we experienced for two months (some say the license for the surf control ended last November). Even the proxies that let's you surf past the surf control is not working.

But they always say, if there's a will, there's a fortune! (corny). I have some tricks up my sleeve, I tell you. You will still continue to see me with an online status in YM. Without the dynamic status message of my currently playing song in my iTunes, of course.

Mga two weeks ago, nagsimula ng magpalabas ng emails yung company namin regarding discounted tix sa concert ng My Chemical Romance dito sa Pilipinas. 10% discount sa bronze tickets. Bale 600 yung orig price, tapos 540 na lang yung babayaran.

Wala yatang bumili kasi sobrang laki ng discount (sarcasm). Kaya para idispatsa yung mga sobrang tickets, ipinamigay na lang nila. haha! Fun diba?

Unahang mag-email ng employee number at name at kung ilang tix (max of two). Wala naman akong balak pumunta talaga, pero whadaheck! Nagbakasakali na rin ako na makakuha ng tickets at maging scalper sa Bonifacio Open Field. Ibebenta ko ng 1k each yung ticket. hehe...

Akalain mong nakapasok ako! Eh malas pa naman ako sa mga unahan unahan. Kaya may dalawa akong tickets ngayon. At nahihirapan ako kung sino ang isasama. Eh ~~bukas~~ mamaya na yun... what to do?

Parang trip kong ipamigay yung tix sa mga street children...para maiba naman. Hehe... adik.

100

2008-01-09T09:09:00.001+08:00

Sa wakas, may picture na rin ako with Oble. haha! May Urban Legend kasi na kumakalat na hindi nakakagraduate/madedelay ang sino man na nagpapicture kay Oble before graduation. Uto uto naman ako at sumunod ako. Haha! Woohoo!

100 years. And I only spent time with it for only 4 years.

100 years of rich history. And I only experienced a part of it.

100 years of excellence. And I opted to be mediocre at best. Not giving 100% to everything that I did in order to excel.

100 years of fun. And I had a share of it during my stay. Overnights, parties, UP Fair. The list goes on and on.

100 years of trials and hardships. And I complained even with a simple one. From unanswered problem assignments and missed concerts to subjects in the risk of failing.

100 years of friendships made. And even I met only less than a 100 friends on my 4 year stay, I know (and I hope) that our friendship will stay for more than a hundred years.

100 years. More than a hundred things that I love in this University. More than a hundred things to be proud of it.

Happy 100th year anniversary, University of the Philippines!

The year of firsts

2008-01-02T17:01:00.000+08:00

Noong 2007, unang beses kong tumayo sa harap ng panel at magdeliver ng final thesis presentation. Sobrang kaba, pero sobrang fulfilling pagkatapos ng presentation.

Noong 2007, unang beses kong hindi makaranas ng kumpletong tulog for 2-3 weeks. Ang pagtulog ay isang pangarap lamang nung mga panahong iyon...

Noong 2007, unang beses akong grumaduate ng college. Obvious ba? siyempre first and last time lang yun mangyayari. haha!

Noong 2007, unang beses akong hindi nakareceive ng individual award noong graduation. Pero keri lang. Nagkaroon naman kami ng award ng thesismates ko dahil sa thesis namin.

Noong 2007, unang beses kong makaranas ng job interview. Unang beses ko rin inulan ng text messages at mga calls para sa mga job interview at offers.

Noong 2007, unang beses kong napuntahan ang Ortigas at Makati Central Business District para mag-apply ng trabaho at umattend ng mga interviews. Unang beses ko rin nakasira ng leather shoes dahil sa sobrang gamit.

Noong 2007, unang beses kong maligaw sa Makati.

Noong 2007, unang beses kong makaranas ng medical exam at... ayoko ng pag-usapan ang tungkol dun.

Noong 2007, unang beses kong nagkaroon ng trabaho. As in yung legal na trabaho. hindi kasi counted yung assignment/project maker na sideline ko nung high school ako. Hindi rin counted yung pagiging holdaper at snatcher sa may cubao.

Noong 2007, unang beses kong bumili ng mamahaling bagay gamit ang sariling pera. Hihi... feeling mayaman ampota.

Noong 2007, unang beses kong magbirthday na may "something explosive and monumental" na nagaganap (see previous blog post). Pero malas nila, pumalpak sila sa balak nila.

Noong 2007, unang beses kong magregalo sa mga inaanak ko. Moral lesson: huwag akong kuhaning Ninong.

Noong 2007, unang beses kong nag birthday at nag pasko na wala ang Mommy at Daddy ko. huhu... alam kong nababasa niyo ito. Bumalik na kayo sa bahay! huhu...

Noong 2007, unang beses yata dumami bigla ang mga get togethers at mga lunch/dinner outs. Nami-miss na siguro namin ang mga isa't isa.

Noong 2007, unang beses kong narealize na hindi ko tinutupad ang mga New Year's resolution ko. At narealize ko din na malaki sanang pagbabago kung natupad ko ang mga ito.

At ngayong 2008... wala lang. Ewan ko kung matutupad ko yung New Year's Resolution ko. Baka tamarin ulit ako at hindi ko ulit matupad.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! CHEERS FOR 2008!!! WOOOHOOO!!!

...

OK, tama na ang kasiyahan. back to work...

birthday with a "bang"!

2007-12-05T10:24:00.000+08:00

Ang totoong dahilan ni Trillanes kung bakit siya pumunta ng Manila Peninsula, isisiwalat na!

Noong Nobyembre 29, 2007, nagulantang ang mga taga-Makati ng biglang sumugod si Sen Antonio Trillanes IV sa Manila Peninsula Hotel mula sa kanyang hearing sa Makati Regional Trial Court. Pero lingid sa kaalaman ng nakararami, hindi pakay ni Trillanes at ang mga kanyang kasamahan na magdaos ng kudeta kundi kailangan lang talaga nila umattend ng isang birthday party sa naturang hotel. Siya daw kasi ay isang panauhing pandangal sa naturang okasyon bagamat hindi sila magkakkilala ng nagdadaos ng kaarawan.

Ngunit akala ni GMA na magdadaos ng kudeta sina Trillanes, kaya ginulo niya ang birthday party ng celebrant. At may regalo pa siyang tangke na nag grand entrance sa pintuan ng hotel, ngunit hindi naman ito ikinatuwa ng management ng hotel, lalong lalo na ng birthday celebrant. Hindi kasi kasya sa garahe.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tama na ang kahibangan. haha! Salamat nga pala sa mga nakaalala sa birthday ko. Sa mga nalibre ko, pasalamat kayo kasi kakasweldo ko lang nung nakaraang linggo. Sa mga hindi ko nalibre, belat. haha! Cheers for my 21 years of existence! Shet, antanda ko na!

awake from a deep slumber

2007-11-20T11:01:00.000+08:00

Kamusta naman ang title? Nahirapan akong isipin yan ha, mga 1 month din akong nawala para isipin yang title na yan! hehe...joke lang.

Bakit nga ba ako nawala ng isang buwan?

Hindi po ako nagkaroon ng lovelife. Alam niyo naman kapag magkaroon ng lovelife eh nafofocus ang attention mo dun. Katulad nga ng nasabi ko sa isang pagtitipon na naganap kagabi, ieenjoy ko muna ang buhay binata ko. Kaya tsaka na ako magkakaroon nun. Siguro after kong mag 21 years old next week (*wink* *wink* *cough* regalo *cough*)

Hindi rin po ako nasisante sa trabaho. Nagtraining po ako last week for five days sa isang lugar na walang internet kaya isang lingo din ako nawala sa cyberspace. Masaya din naman ako dito ngayon at every now and then ay sumasama ako sa mga gimik ng mga officemates ko. Ka close ko na din ang karamihan sa kanila. (Un)fortunately, wala pa akong kaaway. Wala pang mapapel dito eh.

Hindi rin po ako nangibang bansa at dun na nanirahan. Wala talaga akong balak mag-abroad anytime soon. Siguro kapag nakahanap ako ng trabaho na magbibigay sa akin ng 100,000 pesos a month with all benefits plus car and condo unit, tsaka ako lilipad patungong ibang bansa. Preferably sa Zambia.

Hindi rin po ako nakasama sa sumabog sa Glorietta. Hindi tumalab ang bomba sa body fats ko. joke lang.

Hindi rin po ako nalulong sa masamang bisyo. Hinding hindi ko sisirain ang buhay ko sa droga. Pero inaamin ko na napapalakas ang pag-inom ko this past few days. Ang saya kasi gumimik at mag get together eh. Ayan tuloy lumalaki ang tiyan ko. Nawawala na ang ab(s).

Hindi rin po ako nawalan ng idea kung ano ang isusulat sa blog ko. As a matter of fact, everyday nga pwede akong magsulat. Pero nakakahiya naman sa boss ko. Hehe... wala na nga akong ginagawa tapos nagb-blog pa ako? Abuso na masyado. haha

Eh bakit nga pala ako nawala ng 1 month?

Wala lang. Gusto ko lang hindi mag-blog. I need space! (parang si Basya sa One More Chance. Oo, napanood ko ang pelikulang yan).

Kaya...I welcome me back! Welcome, me!

haha...adik.

the weirdest morning

2007-10-02T16:13:00.000+08:00

Akala ko ordinaryong umaga na naman ang bubungad sa akin ngayong araw. Pero hindi pala...

Ready na akong umalis ng bahay. Ready na ang gamit. Maayos na ang buhok. Lumabas na ako ng gate ng bahay.

Hindi pa ako nakakalayo sa gate, may nakita na kaagad akong dalawang lalake sa may tindahan na sa mga oras na iyon ay sarado pa. Pero may kakaibang ginagawa. Hmmmm.... Alam mo bang ginagawa nila? Yakap yakap nial ang isa't isa. As in nagyayakapan sila! yung tipong yakapan na parang matagal na silang hindi nagkikita at habang nakayakap eh bubuhatin yung isa habang umiikot. Ganung level!

So para hindi makaistorbo sa kanilang "intimate doings" (read: brokebackan), hindi ko na lang sila pinansin. Pero (at malaking pero ito ha!), bigla akong tinawag nung isang nagbubuhat.

"Kuya, kuya. patulong naman."

Kuya ka jan! Mas mukha kang matanda sa akin noh! Pero mas nabigla ako kasi bakit naman niya ako tinawag. Ayoko namang makijoin sa kanila kasi imoral (tsaka maaga pa. hehe...). Pero lumapit pa rin ako, being a helpful person to the society (naks!)

"Kuya, patulong naman. Nagtatangkang magpakamatay yung kasama ko..."

HUWAAAAAAAT!!! (at malaking huwaaaaaaaat ito!) Nagpapakamatay?! Nashock naman ako. Bakit? Paano? Saan? Subalit, datapwat...

Pagkalapit ko, tsaka ko lang napansin. May manipis na cord na nakapalibot sa leeg nung lalakeng buhat buhat nung isa na nakatali naman sa mababang shed ng tindahan. At kaya pala niya binubuhat ay para hindi sumayad yung paa niya sa lupa.

Natulala ako. First time ko kasing makakita ng nagbibigti in person. Parang yung first time kong nakakita ng artista. parang ganun. At talagang nasa harapan ko lang ang nagbibigti ah. Napansin ko din ang mga bote ng Red Horse sa isang tabi. Siguro tungkol sa lovelife ang problema nito. Ano pa ba ang pwedeng dahilan?

"Pakuha naman ito."

Hawak hawak niya ang isang lighter. Hindi niya masunog yung tali kasi buhat buhat niya yung kaibigan (?) niya. Kaya kinuha ko yung lighter. Dapat ako na ang susunog nung tali pero shocked pa rin ako, nanginginig ang aking buong katawan. Joke lang, hindi ako ganun kaarte. Inabot ko sa kanya yung lighter. At biglang binitawan niya yung pagkakabuhat sa lalake.

HUWAAAAAAT! Binitiwan niya!

Pero abot pala ng ugok yung lupa. Peste! Nagpasalamat na siya sa akin kahit wala naman akong ginawang tulong.

Ano ang moral lesson dito? Hindi ako mangangaral dito tungkol sa suicide kasi bahala kayo sa buhay niyo. Sabi nila, diretso sa impiyerno ang mga nagpapakamatay. pero siguro wala kayong pakialam kasi baka hindi naman kayo naniniwala sa impyerno. Pero kahit hindi kayo naniniwala sa impyerno, at sa tingin niyo ay hindi naman malulungkot ang buong mundo sa pagkamatay ng isang tao, nagkakamali kayo. May malulungkot din. Ang pamilya mo, kaibigan, kaklase, mga ex, at higit sa lahat, ang mga pinagkakautangan mo ng pera na hindi mo pa nababayaran.

Tama na ang drama. Bahala kayo. Pero kung magpapakamatay kayo, dapat yung maganda ang kalalabasan, hindi yung pangit ka at hindi ka kaaya-ayang tignan sa burol kapag nasa kabaong ka na. Piliin ang paraan ng pagpapakamatay na hiyang sa iyo. At kung magbibigti ka, siguraduhing mataas yung pagsasabitan mo ng tali. Masakit kasi sa leeg kapag mababa lang...

Oh! Akala ko ba on blog leave?

2007-09-10T12:58:00.000+08:00

Akala ko ba On Blog Leave ako? Pero nakapag post ako? nyahahahaha! Wala lang. Bored sa office eh. Tsaka may ipamamahagi ako sa inyo.

Naalala niyo ba si Ederlyn? Yung sa text? Yung nang-iimbita sa birthday, tapos nagalit yung nanay niya kasi napanis yung mga pagkain kasi walang pumunta sa birthday niya? Tapos nagkasangay-sangay na yung kwento, nagkagulo-gulo, dumami ang versions at eventually, nalaos. Kung hindi mo kilala si Ederlyn, wala kang friends na corny.

Pero in fernez kay Ederlyn, natatawa ako sa mga messages niya. Pero ang awkward lang kasi may friend/high school batchmate kami na ang pangalan talaga ay Ederlyn. So kapag finoforward ko sa mga high school friends ko yung Ederlyn joke, ginagawa kong Evelyn yung pangalan. Nyahahaha! Mahirap na, baka maniwala talaga sila na nagiimbita sa birthday yung friend namin na iyon. Magulat siya bigla na maraming tao sa harap ng bahay nila.

Pero sa paglaho ni Ederlyn, sumulpot naman ang bagong reyna ng mga quotable text messages...SI INDAY! At hindi lang siya ang ordinaryong kasambahay niyo, dahil sosyal si Inday. Heto ang mga magpapatunay diyan.

-----------------------------------------------

"I believe that my trained skills and expertise in management with the use of standard tools, and my discipline and experience will contribute significantly to the value of the work that you want, my creativity, productivity and work-efficiency and the high quality of outcomes I can offer will boost the work progress."

- sagot ni Inday sa interview ng bago niyang amo!

------------------------------------------------------------

"physical stress and excessive work may result to serious damage to ones body. It is therefore essential that once in a while, we take a break from our usual routine to replenish the lost energy we once had."

- sabi ni inday sa amo nya nung humingi sya ng day off...

------------------------------------------------------------

"drunken shrimp and blue lobster meat with caviar served with milagrosa rice (red variety) and apricot sauce. vegetables in balsamic vinegar splashed with extra virgin olive oil. lychee and peach salad with sour cream and cream cheese topped with lemon zests."

- baon ni junjun sa daycare na hinanda ni inday. sosyal!

------------------------------------------------------------

"attached herewith is a list of proposed acquisitio in line with my proposal to upgrade your household facilities. I have already made initial survey of the current market prices. Note however that prices could vary depending on the prevailing exchange rate and aggregate supply and demand which we also monitor on an hourly basis."

- si inday nagpapaalam para mamalengke

------------------------------------------------------------

"Compromising safety with useless aesthetics, the not-so-well engineered architectural design of our kitchen lavatory affected the boy's cranium with a slight boil at the left temple near the auditory organ."

- sagot ni Inday nang tanungin ng amo kung bakit may bukol si Junior.

------------------------------------------------------------

"The consistency was fine. But you see, it seems that the increased amount of sodium chloride (NaCl) affected the taste drastically and those actions are irreversible. I do apologize."

- nag-explain si Inday kung bakit maalat ang ulam.

------------------------------------------------------------

Donya: Bakit tuwing paguwi ko, nadadatnan kitang nanunuod ng tv?!

Amo: Inday, bakit nagkalat ang basura sa likod ng bahay?!

Inday: A change in the weather patterns might have occurred wrecking havoc to the surroundings. The way the debris are scattered indicates that the gust of wind was going northeast causing damage to the path it was heading for.

Amo: (nosebleed)

"Stop your raucous behavior. It is bound to result in property damages and if that happens there will be corresponding punishment to be inflicted upon you!"

"Sometimes, people choose to leave not because of selfish reasons but because they just know that things will get worse if they'll stay. Leaving can be a tough act, and it's harder when people can't understand you for doing so."

"To forrestall further hopes of acquaintance, my unfathomable statement to the denial of your request. Petition denied. "

I have to! Maybe for just around a month. Work work work!

BTW, updated my wishlist because of this thing:

Now I'm eating my own words saying that I will not buy an iPod. But the iPod Touch has freakin' Wi-Fi! And it looks like an iPhone! *drool*

Oh well, I hope it's Christmas time. Can't wait for our bonus(es)! See y'all in October!

Office E-mail #2: Tagaytay Ghost Story

2007-08-29T15:49:00.000+08:00

Ewan ko ba kung saang lupalop ng mundo nakukuha ng mga officemates ko yung mga emails na ito. Lahat ng natatanggap ko, napapatawa ako. Pero etong isa na to, natakot talaga ako, promise!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This story happened a few months ago along the Tagaytay Road. There was a guy who got left behind by a pack of mountain bikers. The group was large and he didn't bring a cellphone. He crashed his bike somewhere between Picnic Grove and DBP. To make things worse, a storm came in. So he walked.

This guy was on the side of the road hitch hiking on a very dark night in the middle of a storm. The night passed slowly and no cars went by. The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few meters ahead of him.

Suddenly, just before the junction going to Manila, he saw a car slowly looming, ghostlike, out of the gloom. It slowly crept toward him and stopped. It was raining hard, wind blowing all around you, what would you do? Like you would, he got into the car and closed the door, then realized that there was nobody inside the car.... even in the drivers seat.

The car slowly started moving again. The guy was terrified, too scared to think of jumping out and running. The guy saw that the car was slowly approaching a sharp curve. The guy started to pray, begging for his life; he was sure the ghost car would go off the road and he would plunge to his death, when just before the curve, a hand appeared through the window and turned the steering wheel, guiding the car safely around the bend.

Terrified, the guy watched the hand reappear every time they reached a curve. Finally, the guy gathered his wits and leaped from the car and ran to the nearest place where there were houses.

Wet and in shock, he went into a store and voice quavering, ordered two bottles of beer, and told the people about his horrible, supernatural experience. A silence enveloped everybody when they realized the guy was apparently sane and not drunk.

About half an hour later two guys walked into the same store.

One said to the other.......

"Yan! Yan yung tarantadong sumakay habang nagtutulak tayo..."
wahahahaha!!!

pa ficture!

2007-08-26T22:43:00.000+08:00

Hindi talaga ako mahilig magpapicture sa mga celebrity.

Ewan ko, mahiyain talaga akong nilalang simula pagkabata ko. Siguro kasi feeling ko na wala akong karapatan para tabihan sila. Haha, ang pangit ng reason ko. Pero naiilang talaga ako kapag may katabi akong sikat.

Naalala ko pa nung bata pa ako. mga 4 years old yata ako nun. Nagpunta kami sa isang waterfalls sa saang lupalop man yun. Ang pagkakaalala ko ay either Panay or Tanay. Basta, sounds like anay. Eh pagdating namin dun, nagshooshooting din pala sina Vic Sotto at Alice Dixon ng movie. Nakalimutan ko na yung movie kasi wala pa naman akong pakialam sa mga pelikula noon. Nagpakuha kqmi ng picture kasama si Vic together with my mom. Sayang hindi ko maiiscan yung pic, nasa Bulacan kasi. Pero kung makikita nyo yung pagmumukha ko...hahaha! Parang natatae at... Wag na lang...Ayokong alalahanin pa.

Nung tumanda ako, ang reason ko naman kaya hindi ako nagpapapicture sa mga celebs ay dahil jologs ito. Alam mo yun, yung fanatic ang dating. Eh hindi naman ako fanatic or parang ngayon lang nakakita ng artista. Tsaka siguro naririnig ko yung ibang tao na may mga bad experiences sa mga celebs. Yung mga nagsusungit and everything. Eh madali pa naman akong mairita sa mga ganun kaya wa na lang picture taking na magaganap.

Pero after 16 years, nakapagpapicture na ulit ako sa isang celeb na hindi naman ganoong kasikat katulad ni Vic eh sa tingin ko sikat naman siya sa music industry.

Me with Lougee of Mojofly

Mabait, hindi suplada, cool, magaling kumanta at maganda. Kaya siguro sumunod na ako sa mga naunang kumuha ng pic with her. Nawala na ang phobia ko sa mga celebs, especially sa mga kasali sa banda kasi feeling ko may AP sila. At hindi na parang naiilang ang pagmumukha ko sa pic unlike my Vic Sotto pic. Haha! Kapag nakita ko ulit si Pokwang magpapapicture na talaga ako sa kanya.

Exclusive Interview kuno

2007-08-15T16:49:00.000+08:00

Dahil usung-uso na ang mga interview interview ngayon, makikiuso na ako.

Mainit!
Nagbabaga!
Sumisirit!
Tumitibok!
Explosibo!

brainfreeze, babasagin na ang katahimikan ukol sa paglipat niya sa multiply!

At bibigyang linaw ang DI-UMANO na sex video niya!

Dito lang sa...THE BASH!

Boy: Magandang Hapon po. Nakatutok po kayo sa The Bash. Kasama po natin ngayon ang pinaka-(feeling)kontrobersiyal na blogger ngayon, si brainfreeze.

bf: magandang hapon po, Tito Boy. TOTOO PO TITO BOY! AKO YUNG NASA SEX VIDEO!!! ahhuhuhuhu...

Boy: Gaga! Hindi pa nagsisimula ang interview! Ambisyoso to...

bf: Sorry po...Magandang hapon po sa mga nanonood ngayon ng The Bash...Thanks for Oxygen for my shirt and Levi's for my jeans. :)

Boy: brainfreeze, kamusta ka ngayon? Balita namin pumunta ka ng London. Ano ginawa mo dun?

bf: Nag-aral po ng fashion design major in agriculture and fisheries. Pangarap ko pa po kasi dati pa na magsaka at magpalaki ng mga tilapia and at the same time, fashionable pa rin ang suot. Childhood dream ko po, tito Boy...

Boy: Ah ganun ba? (thought bubble: ang korni naman...) oh well... May nakasama ka bang ibang mga Pilipino dun?

bf: Marami po. Sa katunayan nga po, may kaklase po ako dun na Pilipino, si Mang Kanor. Pero ang nakakatawa nga po eh hindi po niya ako kilala. Nagbblog din po kasi siya. Kung hindi nga po ako nakipag-exchange links kina Cokskiblue at e-channel eh hindi siya mapapadpad sa blog ko. Ahihihi...

Boy: Ahahahaha! Ikaw talaga... Maraming magaganda sa London?

bf: Ay Tito Boy, mas maraming gwapo! ahahahahaha! Joke lang po. Marami pong magaganda. Pinipinch ko nga po yung butt nila eh at hindi sila nagagalit. Pero may isa na nagalit sa akin. Maganda siya, in fairness. Kamukha ng artista dito sa Pinas...si Locsin ba yun?

Boy: Angel Locsin? Balita ko nasa London din siya...

bf: Hindi po. Rio Locsin po.hehe

Boy: Ahahaha! Pinapatawa mo ako... Ano naman ang tingin mo na kaguluhan na nagyayari ngayon sa Pinoy Blogosphere?

bf: Actually Tito Boy, ngayon ko nga lang po nalaman ang tungkol diyan. Hindi ko alam na kasing gulo din ng show business ang blogosphere. Ang sa akin lang po, hindi na ako makikialam para hindi na po ako madamay. At sana din po, hindi na lumaki ang gulo. Kailangan na po nating mag-move on with life, katulad ko.

Boy: Speaking of moving on, didiretsahin na kita. Tatanungin na kita tungkol sa issue na laman ng lahat ng pahayagan, tabloids, forums, text message, e-mails, at menu ng lahat ng restaurant...

bf: OPO TITO BOY! AKO PO YUNG NASA SEX VIDEO! AKO PO YUN! huhuhuhuhu...

Boy: Adelantado ka talagang hindut ka no? Huwag mo nga akong pangunahan bruho ka!

bf: Sorry po...Thank you to Johnson & Johnson for my lubricant and NSO for my birth certificate! ahehehe... :D

Boy: Totoo bang lilipat ka na ng blog?

bf: Opo...

Tito Boy: Bakit naman?

bf: Alam mo Tito Boy, hindi na po ako masaya. Fully customizable at madali nga pong gamitin ang blogger pero...*sniff*...parang kulang eh. I don't feel complete katulad ng Centrum. At nung pumunta ako sa multiply, masaya ako. Natagpuan ko na ang bagong bahay ko sa multiply... Pinaghalo-halo siyang friendster, blogger, photobucket at marami pa. Hindi katulad ng blogger na blog lang. Pero mahal ko po ang Blogger...at minahal din po nila ako. Sana po maintindihan nila ang desisyon ko...Nagpaalam naman po ako ng maayos sa kanila.

Boy: So kailan ka magsisimulang lumipat?

bf: Tito Boy, joke lang po! AHAHAHAHAHA! Naka cross-posting naman ako between Blogger and Multiply eh. Lahat ng pinopost ko sa blogger, napo-post sa multiply kaya no need na para lumipat. AHAHAHAHAHA! Ang galing galing noh? Ano masasabi mo Tito Boy?

Boy: P***! Eh ano silbi nitong interview na ito? Leche! Makaalis na nga...NASAYANG ANG ORAS KO SAYO!

bf: Ay si Tito Boy, OA! Huy, wag kang umalis. Hindi mo pa ako natatanong tungkol sa sex video! Tito Boy! WAAAAAAAH!

Stop the meaning of this?!

2007-08-10T16:48:00.000+08:00

Here is an email circulating in our office. Sumakit ang ulo ko...

Life is Shorts

The!

We' ve been friends for a long time ago. We come from the same alma mother. Actually, our paths crossed one time on another. But it's only now that I gave him a second look. I realized that beauty is in the eyes. The pulpbits of my heart went fast, really fast. Cute pala siya. And then, he came over with me. He said, "I hope you don't mine. Can I get your number?" Nag-worry ako. What if he doesn't give it back? He explained naman na it's so we could keep intact daw. Sabi ko, connect me if i'm wrong but are you asking me ouch? Nabigla siya. Sagot niya, The! Aba! Parang siya pa ang galit! Persona ingrata!!! Ang kapal niya! I cried buckles of tears.

Na-guilty yata siya. Sabi niya, isipin mo na lang na this is a blessing in the sky. Irregardless daw of his feelings, we'll go ouch na rin. Now, we're so in love. Mute and epidemic na ang past. Thanks God we swallowed our fried. Kasi, I'm 33 na and I'm running our time. After 2 weeks, he plopped the question. "Will you marriage me?" I'm in a state of shocked. Kasi mantakin mo, when it rains, it's four! This is true good to be true. So siyempre, I said yes. Love is a many splendor.

Pero nung inaayos ko na ang aming kasal, everything swell to pieces. Nag-di-dinner kami noon nang biglang sa harap ng aming table, may babaeng humirit ng, "Well, well, well. Look do we have here." What the fuss! The nerd ng babaeng yon! She said they were still on. So I told her, whatever is that, cut me some slacks! I didn't want this to get our hand kaya I had to sip it in the bud. She accused me of steeling her boyfriend. Ats if! I don't want to portrait the role of the other woman. Gosh, tell me to the marines! I told her, "please, mine you own business!" Who would believe her anyway?

Dahil it's not my problem anymore but her problem anymore, tumigil na rin siya ng panggugulo. Everything is coming up daisies. I'm so happy. Even my boyfriend said liketwice. He's so supportive. Sabi niya, "Look at is this way. She's our of our lives."

Kaya advise ko sa inyo - take the risk. You can never can tell. Just burn the bridge when you get there. Life is shorts. If you make a mistake, we'll just pray for the internal and external repose of your soul. I second emotion.

*************************************************************

EDIT: Akalain mong mayroon Part 2 ang love story na ito? huhuhu...I can't anymore take this anymore!

PART 2

I thought Jay's ex-girlfriend was really out of our lives. But heaven only goes that I was wrong. Kakakasal pa lang namin nun when Jay received a uninamous text. "Meet me at the clinic." I had a stinking feeling in my butt. I told him not to go. It might in danger him. Pero sabi niya, ok lang daw because life is what we make. Tumahimik lang ako. Sabi niya, "Penny for you talks." But I didn't know what to say.

Beggars can't be losers. Isa pa, worried talaga ako na baka yung girl yun. Jay said, "Can't got your tongue?" I tried to smile at him. Kahit di ako nagsalita, actions speak louder than works, di ba?

Be that as is may, umalis pa rin siya. I was out of the loophole. After a few hours, I called him on his cellphone. But my calls fell on Jeff's ears. Lalo akong nag-worry kasi I didn't even know Jeff. Sabi na nga ba di na dapat umalis si Jay. That's what I'm talking about it.

So I tried calling some friends who will help me find Jay. That's what friends are for naman di ba? But I just faced a blank mall. I had to do this alone. Nag-taxi na lang ako. Pero ang mahal na pala ng plug down rate.

When I got to the clinic, the security was really buffed up. Di basta-basta makakapasok. So I said, "I beg your cordon. I'm patient.

It's my favorite virtue nga e." Nagduda yata yung isang guard. Hinawakan ako sa arm. The nerd! I shouted, "Don't touch me not!" Buti na lang the other guards were nice and said, "Come on, let's join us."

When I went inside, parang I've been there, done there. Nung walang nakatingin, nag-explore ako. Nakarating ako sa top floor and I had a bird's IQ of the clinic. I could not explain it but I was drawn to a room on the floor. Siguro Divine Intermission na yun.

Parang may narinig akong umuungol. I was thorn. Di ko alam kung aalis ba ako o papasukin ko. It made me stick in the stomach to think that Jay and his ex-girlfriend were there. I tried to tell myself to slower my expectations. But to tell with it! I had to strike while the iron is not. I had to hear the truth from the corpse's mouth. I barraged in. O my gas! Si Jay, naka-strap sa operating table, parang genie pig sa isang nakakatakot na experiment. He was on the cutting edge. He was bleeding. At ang doctor na nagpapahirap sa kanya, ang ex-girlfriend niya at ang bago nitong boyfriend, ang nurse na si Walter. Doon ko napatunayang blood is thicker than Walter.

Guess watch? Di ko alam kung paano ko nagawa pero I was able to search and rescue Jay. Siguro adrenaline brush na yun.

Now, he's recovering. Nag-sorry siya na hindi siya nakinig sa akin. I know it's a better pill to swallow your pride so it's forgive and forget me not. All swell that end swell. I know we should kiss and put on makeup.

Ang ex-girlfriend naman niya at si Walter, nakakulong na. Detention is really better than cure. So the moral of the lesson is: if symptoms persist, insult your doctor.

Sa wakas, dumating na ang panahon na inaasam ng mga magsasaka sa nakaraang buwan, pati ng mga tao na mahina ang supply ng tubig at pati na rin ng mga estudyante sa lahat ng antas. Dumating na din ang panahon na pinaka-ayaw ng mga pumapasok sa opisina. Alam niyo na ang tinutukoy ko: tag-ulan.

Unang ritwal kapag malakas ang ulan: buksan ang TV at maghintay ng news na suspended ang klase. Maswerte nga ang mga estudyante ngayon kasi masisipag na tumawag ang mga eskwelahan at mga mayors para iannounce sa mga morning TV shows na walang pasok ang kanilang school o sinasakupan. Nung high school ako, malalaman lang namin na walang pasok pagdating ng tanghali. Kamusta naman yon? Pero ayos lang, either uuwi ako noon at matutulog, maglalakwatsa o maglalaro ng PS.

Eh ngayon, never mong mapapanood sa TV na may magrereport na "Lahat po ng mga nag-oopisina along Ayala Avenue ay walang pasok sanhi ng malakas na ulan." Wish ko lang may ganyan. Siyempre, pasok naman ako, sayang ang sweldo eh. Kung malas ka, mababasa ka dahil sa mga sasakyang mabibilis na dadaan sa isang puddle of water at nasa tapat ka ng puddle of water na iyon (based on a true story.hehe). At kung mas malas, mas-stranded ka pa ng ilang oras. Ang pinakamaganda na lang na gawin ay mag-half day at sabihin na reason ay "heavy rains".

Speaking of reporters, malaki talaga ang paghanga ko sa mga nasa media. Pero hindi yung mga intrigera at mga nagkakalat ng tsismis at bad publicity. Hanga ako sa mga taong ito na kahit anong mangyari eh nagrereport pa din kahit na buhay pa nila ang kapalit. Mga reporter na kahit bumabagyo, nagkakabitak-bitak na ang lupa, lumilindol, umuulan ng bulalakaw, sinasakop na tayo ng mga alien o ang pag-ulit ng nangyari sa Sodom at Gomorrah ay naglilingkod pa rin para makapaghatid ng balita. AT WALA SILANG HOLIDAY HOLIDAY! Well, meron. Mga ilang days sa Mahal na Araw. Kaya nawala na sa career option ko ang pagiging reporter dahil sa kadahilanang iyon. At hindi naman pang reporter boses ko, hindi rin telegenic at makakalimutin din sa script.

Ayaw ng mga housewives ang tag-ulan. Kasi yung mga nilalabhan nila, hindi natutuyo. Sinasampay sa loob at nag-aamoy something. Basta hindi mabango. Kaya malakas ang kita ng mga fabric softeners and conditioners sa mga panahon ngayon.

Ayaw ng mga hayop ang tag-ulan. Hindi sila makakapaglaro sa kalsada kasi nga, umuulan. Katulad ni Carmina (yung aso namin na kumagat sa akin), nandun lang sa kulungan niya....awwww...BUTI NGA!BWAHAHAHA!

Ayaw ng mga lovers ng tag-ulan. On second thought...gusto pala nila ng tag-ulan. Malamig eh! Nyahahaha!

Ayaw ng mga bumbero ng tag-ulan. Inaagawan daw sila ng trabaho. Hehe...pero gusto rin pala nila yon. Hindi sila mapapagod.

Ayaw ng mga resort owners ng tag-ulan. Wala daw kasi silang mga customers. Unless kagaya niyo ako na gustong mag swimming kapag umuulan kasi hindi ako mangingitim kahit na naninigas (ang alin?) na ako sa sobrang lamig (aaah...akala ko kung ano na).

Ayaw ni Santa Claus ng tag-ulan. Mababa ang visibility kapag nakasakay siya sa sleigh. Baka mabangga siya sa eroplano. At baka magkasakit si Rudolph, lalong maging red yung nose niya. Ayaw ni Santa Claus ng nagkakasakit ang kanyang mga reindeers...

Ayaw ng mga kalbo ang tag-ulan. Mababasa daw yung bumbunan nila, baka magkasakit sila.

Gusto ko ng tag-ulan. Malamig kasi, masarap matulog. Pero hassle din pala.

Samu't-saring kaengotan ko

TGIF:Movie Night

2007-07-30T21:52:00.000+08:00

There's an empty seat beside Homer. Too bad I can't sit there because of the damn "Do Not Enter" sign. :(

Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig. Does whatever Spider-Pig does. Can he swing From a web? No he can't, he's a pig.

I still can't get over that Spider-Pig song from the Simpsons movie, and it is now three days since I saw it. I must say that it is the funniest movie that I've seen for a long time and certainly the second best movie released this year (with the Transformers at the top).

I watched it in Glorietta last Friday together with my officemates. I am supposed to watch it on Saturday back to back with Ratatouille (or Ouija? nah...). But thank God I didn't, because I slept the whole day. And watching it with others is certainly more fun than watching it alone.

I have never watched a single episode of the Simpsons, but I enjoyed the movie. Overall, the movie is great. It has a coherent story, but it's main strength is it's humor that almost every scene made me laugh. I have many favorite scenes...one of them is Homer making the pig walk on the ceiling with matching spider-pig theme music. I don't want to spoil the others who haven't watched the movie yet, so I'll stop talking.

I hope there is a sequel (and I think there will be because of a hint during the credits). And I hope I can find a DVD of the Simpsons series because I realized that I missed out on a lot.

Kung dati, ako ang nagpapa-sig sa mga alumni kapag acquaintance party, ngayon naman ako na ang nagsi-sig! Kamusta naman kapag nakikita ko ang birthyear nila ay 1989?

At talagang naging tradisyon na ang Funny Bones na game ah. hehe...dyan nagsisimula ang mga broken relationships.

Kahit na dalawa lang kaming alumni, ok lang. Nakita ko ang mga members na miss ko na. At ang mga apps? Daming hot! Haha! CURSOR Sexy talaga!

sarap ng food. At mabuti naman hindi na tubig na may kulay ang inumin (read: iced tea na matabang). Softdrinks na!

THE reason

2007-07-09T15:42:00.000+08:00

Magyayabang muna ako ngayon. Nyahahaha!

Last week, I got my new phone: the Nokia N73 Music edition, which is my very first electronic gadget that I bought using my own money... well... actually... it isn't paid yet. A part of my salary will be deducted for 18 months in order to pay for the phone. That's 500+ pesos every "suweldo day", easily cancelled out by having a 4 hour overtime for every semi-month. Not bad.

After this, I am supposed to buy an iPod. But my new Nokia N73 phone said, "You don't need an iPod. You need me...only me." Ok, it didn't really talked, but seeing its features and realizing the more important things in life, I decided to erase the iPod from my wishlist. I can't believe I just did that, considering that I always drool over orgmates/classmates back in college who had one of those thin, bubblegum-like music players.

The reasons why I don't need an iPod:

1. Even having a 4GB+ music gallery and 2GB+ "video" gallery, I only have less than a gig of favorite songs and "videos", and the remaining songs are just plain jologs or "pinagsawaan ko na."

2. My N73 has a 2GB miniSD card with it, and as of now, it is still enough to hold my fave music and "videos" plus some downloaded themes and games.

3. I only spend 5 hours of "wireless/remote music listening". 3 hours going from and into work, and 2 hours at home when I have nothing to do. The other 19 hours are spent on work (I can just use my PC for listening to my music), sleeping, eating, watching TV and doing other stuff that you don't need to play some music.

4. iPod doesn't have an integrated FM radio. I can't listen to Nicole Hiyala and Kris Tsuper's morning radio program on Love Radio. Jologs na kung jologs! I really find those guys funny and I want to start my day with a smile on my face. :D

5. I must not be comparing apples against oranges, but a cellphone is just better than a device doing just a single job. I need to spend my money wisely and not spend it on what is just "uso" or "in".

And the other features I like about my phone.
+ the 3.2 megapixel camera. Nice picture quality and feels like a stand-alone digital camera (half-press to autofocus, color/camera modes, etc.)
+ the wide screen, but it made the keypad smaller and harder to press. I'm getting used to it though.
+ internet connection using SMART's 3G service. 10pesos/30 minutes. Not bad for a 480kbps connection.
+ the best and coolest snake game ever!
+ great sound quality coming out of it's two speakers.
+ built-in file manager. But I need to download another one to hide my "files". ;)
+ gallery slideshow, with matching background music, panning and zooming.
+ Adobe PDF reader (for readings/e-books on the go)

No, I'm not a Nokia dealer to advertise this phone. I'm just happy to have a new phone! You must know the feeling especially if you have a phone stuck with you for 4 long years. But I am still using my N3660. God of anti-cellphone theft and hold up, have mercy on us.

One more thing. Watch for an all new freeze ur mind, coming to you this...coming...I don't know. If I have time, a blog revamp. Plus, photo blogging! I always wanted to take photography lessons. Now I'm going to learn it the hard way. :)

"Math is around us!". Yan ang palaging pang-uto sa atin ng mga teacher natin sa Math para mapwersa tayo na mag-aral nito. Mula sa simpleng addition at subtraction, hanggang sa komplikadong sine, cosine, derivatives at integrals, lahat daw yan ay may pakinabang sa buhay. Sa tingin ko totoo naman, bilang Best in Math ng batch namin nung high school (ahem...lakas ng hangin!). At hanggang ngayon, importante talaga ang math, lalo na sa kurso ko na ang pundasyon ay math at hindi computer chips. At nalaman ko din, maski walang pakinabang ang pagkuha ng roots of a polynomial to the nth degree pero pilit pa ring pinapa-solve sa tin, ang totoong sinusukat dito ay ang iyong critical thinking.

Ang haba ng intro ko. Pero ang gusto ko lang naman isulat sa entry na ito ay ang kahalagahan ng simpleng math sa buhay natin.

1. (a)INCOME - SAVINGS = EXPENSES
(b)INCOME - EXPENSES = SAVINGS

Kapag daw gusto mong magtipid ng mas epektibo, gamitin daw ang equation (a) at hindi (b). Nakita ko ang equation na yan sa isang forum sa www.peyups.com. Iba raw kasi kapag mas una mong itatabi ang iipunin mo kaysa sa gagastusin mo. Gagawin ko 'yan sa susunod na sweldo kasi daig ko pa ang batang nagtuturo sa mall kapag nakakita ako ng magandang polo. Bawas impulse buying muna.

2. MONEY is inversely proportional to LOVELIFE

Sa tingin ko naman lahat ay agree dito, unless ikaw ay babae.hehe...Kung gustong makaipon kaagad para pambili ng bahay at lupa para sa iyong "future family", iwasan muna ang paghahanap ng lovelife. Heto na yata ang most effective way ng pagtitipid. Pramis!

Pero meron ibang instances na gagastos ka naman para sa sarili mong luho (see wishlist sa kaliwa). Kaya mawawala din yung savings mo. Ampness! T.T

3. (.6a) + (.4b) = c
where a = star quality, b = musicality, c = pinoy pop superstar champion

Walang sumisikat sa singing contest na ito, pramis! Kamusta naman kasi ang scoring system. Dapat nilubos na nila, dagdagan na din nila ng audience impact.

4. IF(fool_me == 1) shame_on_you();
ELSE IF (fool_me == 2) shame_on_me();

Yun lang, may konti ng programming. Huwag magpapaloko sa isang tao more than once. O kung hindi maiiwasan na kailangan mo siyang pagkatiwalaan ulit, maging maingat my friend. Madami ng manloloko ngayon. Malay mo, yung binebenta pala sa iyo ng suki mong cellphone dealer eh nakaw pala sa Quiapo.

5. ME + XXX ... cannot be!

oh diba? Ngayon ka lang nakakita ng additon pero cannot be. Well, ganun talaga. Love has no rules. (naknang!) Kapag hindi pwede, hindi talaga pwede. Dahil sa mga "boundaries" kaya hindi mapag-add ang dalawa. Haaaay...loneliness.

Wala na akong masulat na matino. hehe...tagal ko na din hindi nakapag-post. Bilang pangwakas, binabati ko ng Happy Birthday ang mga family members ko na sunud sunod ang birthday. Sa Daddy ko (June 30), at sa mga pamangking kong sina Kim (July 1) at Rich (July 2). As if mababasa niyo ito.ahehehe...

Kung kailan alam ko na ang paraan para ma-access ang youtube at maging unlimited ang surfing time ko sa karamihan ng sites (katulad ng blogger) eh tinamad naman ako sa pagsusulat ng entries. Shungak talaga.

praning sa polo

2007-06-08T09:16:00.000+08:00

Ano pagkakaiba ng org/school shirt sa polo/shirt?

Kapag suot mo ang iyong org/school shirt at nakakita ka ng kapareho, matutuwa ka kasi malalaman mo na you came from the same org/school. Meron kayong something in common, kumbaga.

Pero kapag suot mo ang isang polo at nakakita ka ng kaparehong design, as in parehong pareho, aba! Ibang usapan na yan.

Pinoproblema ko lang kasi yung polo ko na binili ko last year. Polo siya na Colours ang tatak, tapos yung may bulaklak design pero mukhang panlalaki pa din. Eh akalain mong 3 na ang nakikita kong kapareho yung polo na iyon. Isa sa may MRT station tapos dalawa dito sa may office namin. Huwat?! Akala ko pa naman limited edition ang polo na ito. Yun pala, pare-pareho yata naming binili ito ng nag sale sa Glorietta o SM.

Sorry kung pinoproblema ko ang mga maliliit na bagay, pero nakakailang lang kasi kung nagtiyempo na nagkapareho kami ng suot. Katulad ng nangyari sa akin nung isang araw. SUot ko yung polo na iyon. Tapos pagpasok ko sa pantry para uminom ng tubig, nakita ko ang isang tomboy (ewan ko kung tomboy, pero may boobs eh, kaya siguro tomboy nga) na kapareho ng suot ko. WTF?! Kaya minadali ko na lang ang pag-inom ng tubig at lumabas na parang najejebs.

Actually, dalawa ang pwedeng gawin kapag nakakita ka ng taong may kapareho mong suot. Una ay yung ginawa ko. Pangalawa ay lapitan siya at sabihing:

"Nice polo you got there. You've got great taste!"

Pero baka akalain ng kinakausap mo na nakikipag-flirt ka. At baka magtaka siya kung ano ang sinasabi mo na "great taste" eh wala naman siyang dalang kape.

Kaya nanawagan po ako sa Colours na tigilan na ang pagmanufacture ng polo ng sinasabi ko. At sa lahat ng mga nakakabasa na ito na may kaparehong damit, pakisabi lang po kung kailan niyo ito isusuot para hindi ko isusuot sa araw na iyon. Kapag kasi nagkasalubong tayo eh baka tuluyan ko ng sunugin ang polo ko.

I'm wet....ooooh...

2007-05-31T09:06:00.000+08:00

Last Tuesday was the start of a very new, very real, reality show aptly called Philippines' Next Strong Rainstorm. And I was one of the thousands of unfortunate judges.

It's around 7:30 PM and I just got off at the GMA-Kamuning MRT Station when rain started to pour down. Being a person who loves rain, and because I am so hungry that time, I decided to collide head-on with the rain which developed into a very strong storm. I opened my blue (or is it violet? never mind...) umbrella with bear prints that made me 10 years younger and pushed through the rain. A few steps made me realize that I am crazy. From a few feet from the MRT station, I was already drenched and felt my wet pants clinging into my skin. "Ano pa ba magagawa ko, eh nakapaglakad na ako.", I said to myself. One step at a time, and I will be able to ride a jeepney.

I did get to ride a jeep the moment I got to East Avenue. I was so wet, but the lady who sat beside me didn't seem to bother because she felt the wrath of the storm also and was also wet. What if I waited for the storm to subside? It would surely take an hour of wait. So I think I made a good decision. Being wet with rain but going home early and taking a shower after and eating dinner? Deal!

It was already flooding on Ybardolaza St. which is normally flood free. This storm is really strong, the canals and esteros are on shock and were unable to contain the rising water. And I started cursing people who throw garbage in the streets and not in trash cans. They should emulate me, the proud follower of a very famous saying: "Maliit na basura, ibulsa muna."

I got off the jeep and thought that our street might not be flooded because there's an uphill climb to our house. But lo and behold, a half-an-inch thick of water gushed downwards like a waterfall. I still continued to climb up risking of flood water to get into my shoes. I'm only a street away, what the heck? Laban!

My shoes did get wet, inside and out. I hate that icky feeling of water filling your shoes every time you take a step. This happened to me a lot of times, most of them in high school. "I just want to get home..." is always my excuse if I am close to giving up after deciding to face the floods and storm. And that is still my excuse that day.

Then something happened. A few steps from our house, lightning struck followed by a very loud thunder. VERY, VERY LOUD! Not just a "nagbobowling si San Pedro sa kalangitan" loud, but a "nagpaputok ng shotgun si San Pedro" loud. That instant, the nearby cars activated their alarms and lights from the houses went out. One of my scariest moments right there, my friends. I panicked. I didn't care of the ankle high flood that developed on our street. I am going to remove my shoes and walk barefoot, but I didn't continue removing it because I can't risk myself getting leptospirosis by cutting my foot with a shard of glass and getting rat pee into the wound. I walked hurriedly to our gate. "I just want to go home...".

I arrived with only a small portion of my body dry, mostly the part inside my underwear. Went to shower, ate and a few minutes electricity came back. I maanged to watch TV and relaxed. Then I slept early.

I love adventures, and even the thing I wrote above is an adventure for me. I like the excitement, the adrenaline rush, the "What could happen next?" feeling. Taking a storm head-on is an adventure? Ang weird ko noh?

Marahil nagtataka ang mga taong malalapit sa akin kung bakit minsan ako ay bingi, at minsan naman ay ang talas na pandinig ko. feeling tuloy nung iba na parang joke joke lang yung pagiging bingi ko. Pero hindi po. Minsan lang talaga ay sinisipag akong maglinis ng tenga, mga once a month. Pero kung interesante talaga ang sinasabi ng isang tao, eh talagang naka focus lahat ng chakra ko sa aking tenga. As in pati ang tsismisan ng mga langgam, naririnig ko. (Yeah right!)

Totoo nga ang baglong tuklas na teorya na "Tsismis travels faster than light." Pero siyempre, kapag dadaanan ako, posibleng magkaroon ng disturbance sa transmission. Katulad ng isang beses na naguusap kami tungkol sa something...

Some1: Alam nyo ba na si Sir blah ay sinundan si Mam Blah sa Baguio para lang hindi magresign si Mam.
Lahat except me: Ah talaga? Grabe no?
Ako: Ano? Sinundan ni Sir si Mam sa banyo?
Lahat sila: (tumatawa)

Siyempre kung tsinismis ko yan eh malaking gulo. Pero nilinaw naman nila kaagad sa akin ang buong istorya para maabsorb ng mga tutuli ko sa tenga.

Sa totoo nga eh, pati yung mga kwentuhan sa MRT, FX, etc. eh pinapakinggan ko kasi wala naman talaga akong magawa na iba kung hindi matulog o makinig lang talaga sa pagtsitsismisan nila. Eavesdropper? Pwede. Walang Magawa? OO! Malalaman ko na lang na sasagot ako sa kanya, pero pabulong na "Tanga ka kasi!"

Hindi ko nga namamalayan na marami na pala akong napupulot na jokes at nakakatawang mga bagay sa kanila. Katulad noong Friday pauwi ng Bulacan. 8:00 na ng gabi yun, gutom na gutom na at nahihilo. Pwede naman akong matulog, pero pinili ko pa ding tumutok ng pakikinig sa usapan ng dalawang kababaihan na parang istasyon ng radio.

B1: Uy tignan mo, kamukha ni _______(friend nila siguro). (turo sa isang billboard ng Le Froge ni Chuck Allie sa may tapat ng SM North)
B2: Yun? Hindi kaya.
B1: Kamukha kaya! Yung mata kamukha.
B2: Ah...medyo...
B1: Kamukha niya oh!
Ako: (eh ano ngayon? magkakapera ka ba kung napatunayan mong kamukha yan ng kung sino man?leche!)

After some time...sa may pagkalagpas ng toll gate...sina B1 at B2 ay nag-uusap tungkol sa isang celebrity...

B1: Yung artista daw na un talaga, mayabang daw. Mahirap katrabaho...
B2: Ah talaga?
B1: Oo, may problem attitude daw kasi, blah blah!

Ako: (Bwahahaha! Problem attitude daw! Bwahahaha!)

B2: ...Masama ang ugali?
B1: GAGA! kaya nga may problem attitude eh.

Ako: (Leche! inulit pa! BWAHAHAHAHA!)

Siyempre sa isip ko lang yung monologue ko na iyan. Hilong hilo na rin ako sa gutom. Pero ok lang, napatawa naman ako ng dalawang yun. Tsaka hindi ko naman pagkakalat yung usapan nila eh. Pramis!

AI Finale!

2007-05-24T09:20:00.000+08:00

Ako lang ba excited sa AI6 Finale mamaya? Kasing star-studded at kasing ganda kaya nito yung last year?

Based sa performances kahapon, Jordin MIGHT win. Pero malay mo, si Blake pala. Unfair lang kasi the final song doesn't suit him very well.

I'm frightened na Sanjaya overload mamaya. But come to think of it, AI6 is very boring without Sanjaya. Aminin niyo na! Kelangan talaga merong pinag-uusapan at hindi kagalingan na singer na nagpapagalit sa mga tao. At nandun din ang legs ni Haley! Hehe...

Nasabi ko na bang excited na ako? Rawr!

[EDIT]

I was right with my prediction!bwahahaha!

Videoke Champion part 2: Average Round

2007-05-23T08:28:00.000+08:00

Actually hindi ko alam kung mas mahirap to kaysa dun sa una. What da heck?!

INSTRUCTIONS:
Para mas masaya, you will pick at most five(5) songs na huhulaan at ipopost sa comments. Once ka lang pwede magpost, kaya kung magaling ka, hulaan niyo na yung mahihirap na kanta. K?

1. There's no one like you. You speak to my heart.

2. The love we had could not be bad. Play it right and bide my time.

3. My heart always seemed to drift from day to day, looking for the love that never came my way.

4. I'm startin' to believe that I'm way too much for you. All that talk but it seems like you can't come through.

5. And what was I thinking when the world didn't end. Why didn't I know what I know now...

6. Okey lang naman ang ating usapan. Hindi na lang babalikan ang nakaraan.

7. Don't know what you did boy but you had it and i've been hooked ever since.

8. Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose. You can plant any one of those.

9. Other dancers may be on the floor. Dear, but my eyes will see only you.

10. I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser to try and slag me down because I know you're right.

11. Sa dami-dami ng aming napagdaanan, walang tatalo sa aming pinagsamahan.

12. I want a new life and I want it with you. If you feel the same, don't ever let it go.

13. We've got each other and that's a lot. For love - we'll give it a shot.

14. I treated you like a shining star but in my sky all burnt out you are.

15. I know you were meant for me, even though she saw you first.

16. You know, I'm the one that you can talk to. And sometimes you tell me thing that i don't want to know.

17. Make a body work, make a begger hurt, sell me something big and untamed.

18. Do or die, you'll never make me. Because the world, will never take my heart.

19. I know all the rules and then I know how to break them and I always know the name of the game.

20. Can we make this dream last forever? And I'll cherish all the love we share.

21. He sings the songs that remind him of the good times, he sings the songs that remind him of the best times.

22. You got your mama's style but you're yesterday's child to me.

23. Hold one up and then caress it, touch it, stroke it and undress it.

24. Could I lie to you, I'm just too weak to face the truth. Now I know I should make a move.

25. Turns out everything I say to you comes out wrong, and never comes out right.

26. Pwede ba kitang tabihan kahit na may iba ka nang kasama?

27. So just hold up, wait a minute. Let me put my two cents in it.

28. Maybe one day you and me will have one more shot.

29. You don't know me, and I’ll never be what you want me to be.

30. So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money, when we look back now will our jokes still be funny?

Sana may mapost na akong iba sa next entry ko. Ang hirap ng gumawa ng ganito eh! =)

And then there were two...

2007-05-18T08:43:00.000+08:00

The most shocking elimination for the entire season happened last night when front-runner and consistent performer Melinda Doolittle from Brentwood, Tennessee was eliminated and left Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis to battle it out in the Finale next week.

Jordin Sparks, 17 years old from Glendale, Arizona started out in the competition as the young girl which showed a lot of potential. And as the competition progresses, she showed her worth in the competition by giving above average and stellar performances. Her innate charm, spunky and fun attitude may be the reasons why she never landed on the bottom 3 spot and catapulted her way into the Grand Finale. The songs I Who Have Nothing, A Broken Wing and You Will Never Walk Alone are her best performances in this competition

25 year old Blake Lewis, dubbed as the "contemporary rebel" by Paula Abdul, is the most unique contestant in the whole history of American Idol because of his ability to beatbox. He became the favorite amongst the guys because of his beatboxing ,his smooth vocals and his charm that made teens and girls to vote for him to be in the Finale. His best performances are You Give Love A Bad Name, I Need To Know and Time of the Season are his highlights in the show.

So what happened to the results? Randy predicted that it will be a girl-girl finale. Simon said that he wants to see Melinda in the final two. But the results show last night proved them wrong.

Melinda, who never landed in the Bottom 3 like Jordin, became too consistent. Too consistent that I can't even pick her three best performances. Both Blake and Jordin had their shining and not so shining moments and showed their growth and improvement as the competition progressed. Melinda, on the other hand, was very good at the start of the competition and her performances are on a plateau.

Other than that, I can't see another reason why Melinda got booted out. I don't want to go into race and her being another "typical black singer that sings very well". At least she stayed longer than Sanjaya.

My verdict for the final results? Tough call. But I think, it will be a "teenager". :)

Walang magawa sa office: The Videoke Champion edition

2007-05-16T08:24:00.000+08:00

INSTRUCTIONS:
Kung wala kayong magawa (katulad ko.nyahaha!), hulaan kung saang kanta matatagpuan ang mga sumusunod na bahagi ng kanta. Ilagay sa comments page ang inyong mga sagot, kung anong kanta ito at kung sino ang kumanta.

Kung may balak kayong sagutan to, sana wala pong mandaya at isearch ang mga lyrics sa google. Mayroon akong paraan para maitrack kung nandaya kayo at i-disable ang inyong internet. Joke lang, no such thing. Basta walang dayaan, God knows Hudas not pay... Madali lang naman ito eh.Game? Game!

EDIT: May nakasagot kagad (galing mo Terrence!). Kung magsasagot kayo, iscroll down nyo na kagad yung comments para hindi nyo makita yung mga sagot. :)

1. Totoy makinig ka, wag kang magpagabi. Baka mapagkamalan ka at humandusay diyan sa tabi.

2. Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof.My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof

3. Morning has come another day. I must pack my bags and say goodbye. Goodbye.

4. And through it all, she offers me protection, a lot of love and affection whether I'm right or wrong.

5. So I guess the fortune teller's right. Should have seen just what was there and not some holy light.

6. Pinapanalangin lagi tayong magkasama. Hinihiling bawat oras kapiling ka.

7. All the girls wanna get with the boys, and the boys really like it.

8. And I believed in you although you never asked me to. I will remember you and what life put you through.

9. There's a magic running through your soul. But you can't have it all.

10. Can't you see it baby? You don't have to close your eyes, 'coz its standing right before you.

11. I just reach for you and I can reach the sky again.

12. My eyes on you reflects what's deep inside my heart. Your breath, it soothes me.

13. I remember when you said that you'll be here forever.

14. I tried to call the nurse again, but she's been a little bitch. I think I'll get out of here.

15. I have learned that beauty has to flourish in the light. Wild horses ride unbridled or their spirit dies.

16. You pierced my emotional armour. Bolt of lightning couldn't hit me harder.

17. Would it be nice to get those words, "I love you", from the one that you love, that you love...

18. And now you've taken the world out of me. Oh, I'm left with my body hanging free.

19. So don't treat me like a puppet on a string. 'coz I know how to do my thing.

20. Frozen inside without your touch without your love darling. Only you are the life among the dead.

21. Three little birds, sat on my window. And they told me I don't need to worry.

22. Laugh for me. Cry for me. Pray for me. Lie for me. Live for me. Die for me.

23. Let's float, let's glide. Oooooh...Let's open up and go inside.

24. Can you tell me what you see whenever you look around? We're tripping all over ourselves and pulling each other down.

25. Kung iisipin mo, 'di naman dati'y ganito. Kay bilis kasi ng buhay, pati tayo natangay.

26. Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance, five-hour phone conversation, the best soy latte that you ever had...and me.

27. I know that they say that some things are better left unsaid. It wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it.

28. What's your name? Who's your daddy? Is he rich like me?

29. Because of you, I forgot the smart ways to lie. Because of you, I'm running out of reasons to cry.

30. I know you want to hear me speak. But I'm afraid that if I start to, I'll never stop.

ENJOY!

For Real?!

2007-05-11T13:51:00.000+08:00

Ako ay isang dakilang adik sa Reality TV shows.

Totoo po 'yan. Simula pa lang ng Survivor Borneo ay sobrang na-hook na ako sa panonood ng Reality TV Shows. As in wala dapat mamiss na episode at mahuhuli ka sa kwentuhan mo na kapwa adik din. Kaya sobrang galit ako kapag may nangiispoil. Hindi kasi ako nanonood ng mga shows na ganito dahil ito ang uso kundi dahil naamaze ako sa mga tao na kasali, sa production value, sa direction at sa mga hot na kasali.

Sobrang dami na nga ng nagsulputan na reality shows na pwede ka ng gumawa ng thesis, case study o maski ano pang study tungkol sa mga ito. Lalo pa ng nagkaroon kami ng cable TV. Wide range ang choices, from the entertaining to the boring. Inspirational to nakakadungis ng pagkatao at moralidad. Highlight ng mga reality shows ang pagca-clash ng mga personalities, mga connivance, strategy, decision making, business administration at home economics. Kaya nga nandito ako para ibahagi ko sa inyo ang mga napanood ko na na reality shows sa tanang buhay ko, kung paano sila nahahati sa bawat kategorya at ang pinaka "award" sa bawat kategoryang ito. (hanep!)

Adventure/Competition/Patayan Based Reality Show
Eto yung mga reality shows na walang ibang objective kundi magpatayan kayo para makuha ang grand prize. Joke lang. Eto ay isa sa mga tipo kong panoorin kasi talagang kakabahan ka at maeexcite sa panonood. Last man/woman/team standing ang drama ng ganitong mga shows kaya hindi talaga malayo na may patayang magaganap. Pero dapat may strategy na involved sa pagpatay. Dapat walang dugo at hindi makikita ng pulis.

Kasama sa kategoryang ito ay ang Survivor (na ilang season na at maraming lugar na ang pinuntahan. Dapat sa Pinas sila pumunta, sa bandang Sulu, para magkaalaman na), Fear Factor (kadiri), Combat Missions(mga retired na sundalo na nagbabarilan.cool 'tong show na ito), Unan1mous(ganda ng social experiment nito. dapat makapagdecide lahat ng kasali who will walk home with 1.5 million dollars. dapat unanimous ang vote),The Contender (boxing naman 'to) at siyempre Big Brother. Medyo naiba nga lang ang local version(PBB)sa original version. Naging parang artista search na din at may mga charity works (para hindi sila pag-initan ni Laguardia.haha!) pero pinapanood ko pa rin ito. At sa tingin ko ay ito ang pinaka-succesful na franchised reality show at, local reality show na rin, dito sa Pinas (eh PBB, PI at PNTM pa lang naman kasi ang mga franchised relity shows dito.hehe)

Pero ang pinaka da best sa ganitong kategorya ay ang The Amazing Race. Ibang level naman kasi ang production value ng show na ito. Nananalo pa ng Emmy's for Best Reality TV Series kaya ano pa ang masasabi mo. Marami ang kailangan ang isang team para manalo dito: strategy, strength sa mga challenges, intelligence, emotional quotient (para hindi ka mabaliw pag inaway ka ng teammate mo), social skills, laki ng boobs at wetpaks (para ayos sa mga viewers.ahihihi...joke lang) at luck. Sobrang daming luck. Mas marami pa sa isang sako ng lucky me. Nyeh! Ang korneh!

Reality-Talent Search
Isa pa ito sa mga paborito ko. Kasi ambisyon ko talaga ang kumanta, pero wala talaga akong confidence para gawin, at pera para maghire ng vocal coach.hihi. Kaya nailalabas ko ang frustration ko sa panonood ng mga ganito. May audition process, semifinals, finals at grand finale. Kung gusto nilang iextend ang show, magpapa wild card pa sila. Pero meron din namang iba na ipapareha ka sa isang celebrity tapos bahala na kayo magpakitang gilas.

Siyempre, ang reyna ng lahat ng reality talent show ay ang American Idol. More on talent/popularity show nga lang ito pero reality show pa din in the sense na the dreams of an ordinary person will become reality. Kaya reality din (ang labo!). Ang ilan pa sa mga kasama dito ay ang Dancing with the Stars (na may local copycat version na Shall We Dance at U Can Dance), Skating with Celebrities (na may local copycat version na Stars on Ice sa QTV11), So You Think You Can Dance (parang AI, pero sa pagsayaw naman), 30 seconds of Fame (parang perya itong palabas na ito), America's Got Talent, mga local-but-more-on-talent-reality shows (Search for a Star, Star for a Night, Star In A Million, Search for a Star In A Million, Pinoy Pop Superstar, Little Big Superstar, Search for the Next Black Hole, etc.), artista search (Star Circle Quest, Starstruck). Ewan ko ba kung bakit overused ang Star sa mga talent show dito. Ang local version ng AI, ang PI (parang mura! hehe...) ay hindi masyadong nag-hit, marahil siguro sa sobrang dami na ng shows na may ganung format na napalabas noong una. Or baka dahil din sa humawak na TV station. Kaya kinabog siya ng Pinoy Dream Academy; eto talaga ang perfect fusion ng reality sa talent show. Luv ko tong show na 'to, walang aangal.

We-need-a-new-member-reality-talent search ang isa sa subcategory dito. Ang mga example ay ang Rockstar:INXS (magagaling yung mga contestants dito, mas magaling pa yata sa mga kasali sa AI), Rockstar:Supernova (Hindi naman to pinalabas sa Pinas, pero alam ko to), at ang huli sa lahat na hindi ko alam kung bakit pa nila ito ginawa: Search for the Next Doll. Naghahanap sila ng bagong miyembro sa Pussycat Dolls. Pero parang wala ding silbi kasi si Nicole lang ang talagang kumakanta. Pandagdag eye candy lang yung mapipili. Pero OK lang naman sa akin yung show na ito, pinapanood ko pa rin.hehe...

Reality-Dating Show
Eto ang hindi ko talaga kinahiligan. Kasi sobrang korni. As in. Merong isang searcher, tapos mga searchees. Kaya magpapatayan at magpapapansin sa searcher ang mga searchees. halikan, flirting galore ang mga show na ganito. Ganun lang walang kwenta. Mga desperado/a na magkaroon na jowa. Pero pinanood ko pa din ang ilan sa mga ito.hihi...

Siguro ang pinaka-succesful sa ganitong kategorya ay ang The Bachelor[ette]. Umabot na yata ito sa 7th season. Pero hindi ko pa rin siya sinubaybayan kasi nakokornihan talaga ako. Yung mga nasa MTV, un pa ung mga pinapanood ko. Yung mga paisa-isang episode lang. Yung Roomraiders, yung Come Inside My House (hindi ko alam kong ito yung title. hehe...basta pag nagustuhan nung babae ang lalake based sa date nila, papapasukin niya yung guy sa bahay), at iba pa na nakalimutan ko na. Ang iba pa sa mga ganitong shows ay Playing it Straight (mga badinger-Z na nagpapanggap na lalaki. kung baderf pinili ng searcher, kuha ng baderf ang pera. Kapag straight ang napili ng babae, paghahatian nila ang pera), For Love or Money (siyempre...money!), Joe Millionaire (lalaking nagpapanggap na mayaman, pero hindi pala. Magagalit ba si gurl o hindi pag nalaman niya? abangan...), The 5th Wheel, atbp. Pero ang pinakapaborito ko talaga ay ang Beauty and the Geek. Mga gorgeous girls paired with geeks and nerds. Ang ganda ng social experiment na ginawa dito. Kasi makikita kung magji-jive ang personalities nila at kung matututo ang mga geeks about self-confidence and grooming, at kung matututo ang mga beauties about improving their intelligence/knowledge. Pero kung tutuusin, hindi talaga siya dating show, more on competition based siya. Sinama ko lang siya dito para magkaroon ako ng masasabi dito.hehe...

Makeover Reality Show
Magpapayat. Pakinisin ang mukhang puro crater. Magpalaki ng boobs. Magpadagdag ng isa pang boob. Posible na lahat yan sa reality show na ang hangad ay magpaganda at ibahin ang itsura mo.

Dalawa ang subcategories dito. Ang una ay ang Sariling Sikap Makeover Reality Show. Ang halimbawa nito ay ang Biggest Loser, ang aking favorite sa kategoryang ito. Ang may pinakamalaking nabawas na percentage sa weight ang siyang mananalo. Grabe talaga, ibang level ng self-discipline ang kailangan dito. Tapos may pera pang cash prize, pambili ng pagkain para ma-gain lahat ng na-lose mong weight. Harhar... Isa pang show under dito ay ang Cold Turkey, pagtigil naman sa paninigarilyo ang hangad.

Ang pangalawang uri ay ang Instant Makeover Reality Show o Salamat Po Doc Reality Show. Nangunguna na dito ang The Swan na ibang level sa pagreretoke sa mga kalahok para makasali sa isang beauty contest ng mga retokada. Yung ibang namakeover, gumanda naman. Yung iba naman, naging skeri. Or naging isa na lang ang reaction ng mukha. Nasobrahan sa banat sa fez. Ang iba pa na kabilang dito ay I Want to Look Like [insert celebrity name here] (sa MTV to pinapalabas) at Extreme Makeover. Kung kasinglaki ka naman ng bahay at gusto mong magpapayat, sumali sa Extreme Makeover: Home Edition...Joke lang. Ang show na ito ay gigibain ang bahay mo at irerebuild after 7 days na siyempre mas maganda na. Kung mas pumangit, tawagin na ang lawyer mo at magdemanda.

I-will-give-you-a-job Reality Show
Baka ibang job ang iniisip niyo dyan...:)

Eto yung mga reality show na, as the name implies, bibigyan ka ng trabaho. Magandang sumali dito kasi maeexpose ka sa iba't-ibang environment at mahahasa ang iyong mga skills at talents. Hindi lang biglang yaman kumbaga, sariling sikap mo na rin kung yayaman o magiging succesful ka o hindi.

Dito sobrang dami na example. Search for the Next Janitor na lang yata ang wala pa. Hihi. Kung gusto mo ng instant trabaho, sali na! Meron pang cash prize plus modeling contract under Lydia's Lechon . Pero dapat galingan po para hindi ka naman maeliminate kaagad at mapahiya on national TV. Huwag lang ung unang matanggal, mga pangalawang matanggal na lang, mas less ang embarassment. Para ito sa mga gusto maging model (America's Next Top Model at mga franchise nito), chef (Hell's Kitchen, Top Chef), fashion designer (Project Runway, The Cut), inventor (American Inventor - Hindi ko to napanood, nabalitaan ko lang), director (On The Lot), alipin ni Donald Trump (The Apprentice) at sex star. Tama po ang iyong narinig. Sabi sakin ng friend ko na si Roro na may pinapanood daw ang mga officemates niya na America's Next Sex Star something. Nakalimutan ko yung exact name, pero kamusta naman?! Kakatawa pa yung pagkakakwento niya. Para lang daw American Idol, nasa stage tapos maghuhubad. Tapos may mga ipapagawa (positions, etc.) tapos ici-critique ka. Kapag nasabihan ka siguro ng "You have nice boobs, dawg!" o "That was the best moan this season!", pasok ka na. Habang kinekwento niya sa akin to, siyempre kunwari nandidiri ako para hindi halatang manyak. Hihi...Sabay tanong kung saan makakabili ng DVD nito. AT kinekwento niya ito sa loob ng MRT. Haha!

Pero siyempre iba ang Pinoy. Tayo lang ang nakaisip ng ultimate na I-Will-Give-You-A-Job Reality Show. At eto ay ang May Trabaho Ka. Parang classified ads talaga ito. Pero bakit wala pa silang next janitor, construction, masahista, mangkukulam episode ever kung kailan mataas ang unemployment rate ng mga nasabing propesyon.

The life of a Celebrity/an Ordinary Person Reality Show
Eto yung mga reality show na kinukuhanan ang isang celebrity/family/couple at sundan ang ginagawa nila.

Isang show lang na ganito ang talagang sinubaybayan ko: The Osbournes. Nakakatuwa kasi yung pagka dysfunctional ng family nila. Basta ang cool ng show na 'to. Yung Simple Life with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, mga 5 epis lang yata napanood ko. Ganoon din yung kay Nick Lachey at Jessica Simpson. Yung mga nakikita ko sa cable pero hindi ko pinapanood ay House of Carters (yung nasa BSB at yung family nya), Tommy Lee chuva (basta bumalik siya ng school). Korni na yung naglabasan after ng The Osbournes. Tsaka mayaman na sila at sikat, paki ba natin sa kanila. Maiingit lang tayo... Isa lang yata ang under sa the life of an ordinary person reality show. Alam niyo yung Trading Spouses? Kung hindi, ok lang. hindi naman kagandahan ang show.

Humaba na yata masyado ang post ko. Basta sobrang sikat na ng Reality Shows ngayon. Depende pa rin sa trip mo kung ano ang trip mong panoorin. Kaw na bahalang pumili, maski ano. Basta hindi nakakasama sa kalusugan mo.

Salamat

2007-05-07T08:08:00.000+08:00

Kung anu-ano na ang sinulat ko sa pagkakaroon ko ng trabaho pero hindi ko pa man lang napapasalamatan ang mga tao na naging bahagi ng buhay ko sa kolehiyo.

Salamat siyempre sa CS Department at sa mga faculty members nito sa pagkupkop nila sa akin sa loob ng apat na taon. Sana ay naging mabuti akong estudyante. Special mention kina Mam Riza, Mam Chris at Mam Florence. :)

Sa aking pamilya. Sa Mommy at Daddy ko na todo suporta sa landas na tinahak ko. Sa Ate Dette ko na pinapadalhan ako ng pang tuition every Sem. Sa Kuya Mon ko na todo suporta din. At sa Ate Cha ko na binibigyan ako palagi ng baon every week. Salamat ng marami!

Kay TJ, Rocel at Jameson na friends ko since high school, congrats sa 'tin. Kahit ako lang ang hindi cum laude sa ating apat, keri lang.

Kay Ate Mila na napakabait at napakagaling na Dept Secretary. Kung hindi dahil sa iyo, hindi ako makakapagprint ng DTR sa PC nyo at hindi ko makukuha ang sweldo ko sa SA.hehe...

Sa mga organizations ko. Sa UP CURSOR, UP LAKAN at UP ACM sa pagtitiwala sa akin na ihandle ang ilan sa mga events nila at sa mga pagkakaibigang nabuo sa 3-2-1 taon (respectively) na pagiging miyembro ko. Andami ko talagang natutunan sa pagiging miyembro, from project management, pag deal sa iba't ibang klaseng tao at higit sa lahat, sa pagpa-partey!

Sa mga naging kaibigan at ka-close ko sa kolehiyo: Jerry, Jesse Ann, Kmart, Kai, Mari, Big John, Toni, Pepoy, Pepz, Michi, Melai, Malen, Fabs, Roanne, Sir Pio, Louis, Cai, Roy, Rap, Tienne, Charm, Nhiza, Kat, Faye, Gianne, Chaez, Helen, Mayee, Joelle, lahat lahat na...sana mabasa niyo ito.hehe...Salamat sa pagiging parte niyo ng stay ko sa kolehiyo. Sa mga hindi nasulat, pasensiya. May memory gap na ang lolo niyo.

Sa mga professors, instructors, lecturers sa mga subjects ko, salamat sa pagbabahagi niyo ng karunungan niyo sa akin. Nalaman ko na may nageexist na mga mababait(Philo10, Geog1), kwela (PI100, PanPil19, French10), boring (NatSci1, Chem1, Geol1), weird(Philo1, ArtStud1) at terror(Bio1, Eng1) na teachers. Salamat at wala ako maski isang 5 sa classcard ko.

Sa mga SAs na maiiwan sa Dept (lalo na si ________), continue to serve the department. Hinay hinay lang sa pagpiprint (lalo na si _________).

Sa byte kong si Toni sa pag-aalaga niya sa akin nung applicant pa lang ako. Kay Joan at Cere na naging bit ko, continue to be good members of our org.

Kay ___________ at _____________ na makita ko pa lang sa 2nd floor corridor (o masilip ko sa isang room kapag stalker mode) eh nakukumpleto na ang araw ko. Salamat sa inspirasyon.

Sa mga nakaaway ko (at sa mga inaaway ko patalikod.hehe...), hindi ko alam kung magsosorry ako. Pero sige na nga, sorry na.

Sa mga umaway sa akin, wala lang. Alangan namang sabihin kong magsorry kayo sa akin. Kapal naman ng mukha ko pag ganun...Pero kung gusto niyo, ok lang.

At sa buong UP. Salamat sa paghubog sa akin bilang tao na may kritikal na pagiisip, puno ng kaalaman at lumalaban. Salamat din sa UP Fair. At sa Lantern Parade. Sa mga times na walang pasok. At sa masarap na isaw. Sa mainit na monay at keso. Sa siomai ni Mang Ramon...

Ah basta, salamat. Thanks. Merci beaucoup (naks! French!).

*cue music: Remember Me This Way*

mga pangyayari noong mga nakaraang araw (at ngayon din pala)...

2007-05-03T08:58:00.000+08:00

Monday
Ako lang mag-isa buong gabi at araw. Nag Vigan ang mang ate ko at ang mom ko ay nasa Bulacan. Paggising ko, bumungad sa akin ang isang bubwit na nagsiswimming sa balde ng tubig.

"What a beautiful way to start my morning!", naibulalas ko sa aking sarili. Binalak ko siyang iflush sa toilet pero baka bumara or magmutate siya sa isang malaking daga pagpunta sa poso negro. Kaya pinakawalan ko na lang siya. Save the animals, save the world (Heroes? Haha!)

Tuesday
Walang pasok. Ngayon dapat gagawin ang nakaplanong swimming ng aking high school barkada. Pero lahat yata sila ay nakiisa sa labor day at namahinga na lang sa bahay.

Kinahapunan, binalak kong maginternet kasi namimiss ko na ang mga blocked sites sa office (multiply, friendster...). Tapos nagpasama ang aking ate (na kakauwi lang ng Vigan last night) na mag-grocery. At dahil nagtatrabaho na ako, binigyan ko siya ng pandagdag sa grocery. At naging mabait siya sa akin buong gabi.

Eto pa ang mas kahindik hindik. Sale ang mga chocolates sa Shopwise, at magtatapos ang discount sa araw ding iyon. Kaya talagang bumili ang ate ko ng medyo kaunti (medyo lang) na chocolates. Sira na naman ang binabalak ko na diyeta. Kaya bumili ako ng salad greens pambalanse sa tsokolate.

Wednesday
Una kong overtime kahapon. Wala namang nangyaring kakaiba. 9 na ako nakauwi. wala lang.

Ngayon
Maswerte at nakasakay ako sa MRT na maluwag kaya nakapasok ako sa bandang gitna at hindi ako nasama sa stampede na kagagawan ng mga tao sa Cubao. Ewan ko ba kung ano meron sa mga tao dito, pero parang ang common denominator sa kanilang lahat ay hindi sila office people. Mga construction worker yata.

Na sunburn din ako sa mukha dahil sa sobrang tagal kong makasakay ng bus. At nandito na ngayon ako sa office, wala na namang gagawin buong araw kasi sa monday pa ako bibigyan ng trabaho. Chat galore! Love it!

feeling vista

2007-04-26T10:33:00.000+08:00

Dahil wala akong magawa kahapon, at bago pa man ako tambakan ng trabaho ngayong araw, nagpakasaya muna ako sa pagdodownload ng mga software para pagandahin ang aking desktop.

I'm using WinXP. At dahil naiinggit ako sa ibang officemates na Vista ang gamit, naghanap ako ng themes para magmukhang Vista ang aking desktop. I used StyleXP. Eto ang finished product.

O diba. parang totoo. Got the wallpaper sa www.customize.org na madami ding themes, wallpapers etc. AT may option pa and styleXP na gawing transparent ang toolbar at start menu.

Haha! halata bang wala akong ginagawa sa office? Ngayon lang yan. Ididiscuss na kasi sakin ang workload ko mamaya. Magsisimula na ang totoong laban! (weh?!)

my worst morning yet

2007-04-26T09:20:00.000+08:00

I arrived at the GMA/Kamuning Station at around 7:15.
One of the trains stopped for approximately 20 minutes. I managed to get in at around 7:40.
My work starts at 8:30. Nothing can go wrong...I can arrive on time.
The train is slow. Stopped twice along the way. Arrived at the Buendia Station at around 8:15.
15 minutes left...
A crowd of 30+ people is waiting at the FX/Bus Stop. Great!
My watch is 10 minutes advance. It's already 8:30 on my watch. I started to panic.
I shoved people in front of me just to get in the bus. Thanks to me they got in.
Traffic at Ayala Avenue. the minute hand is slowly approaching the number 9...(ay, wala palang number ang watch ko.hehe...)
I dashed towards the underpass and inside the building. I hope I'm not late.
The time in terminal. I hurriedly entered my Employee #.
The line of text registered on screen...

26 April 2007 8:32 AM Renz Darnell Noble Access Entry Granted

I'm 2 minutes late. Fun!

Kamusta naman?!

2007-04-23T08:34:00.000+08:00

As in kamusta talaga.

I have only 90 minutes of surfing time sa ibang mga sites (except yahoo mail, gmail and meebo na unlimited).

Blocked ang friendster at youtube.

Ako lang ang bagong employee sa floor namin (loner mode).

Other than that, I'm lovin' it.

Mababait ang mga tao, wala pang mapapel na tao, OK ang temperature, and many more nice things.

I survived the first week of work, sana makasurvive pa sa sobrang crucial ng gagawin kong program...

kamusta naman?!

Ngarag

2007-04-11T13:33:00.000+08:00

For the past days and weeks I have experienced the hardships an employee must endure for his/her first job ever. After signing a centimeter thick of forms from my selected company (anu kaya yun?), marami pa pala ang kailangan gawin. Mabuti nagawa ko na yung iba weeks before.

Physical Exam
Siyempre alam ko purpose nito: make sure that the company employs healthy people in order to lessen health expenditures in case teh employee became sick. Hehe...

This is actually my third time having a medical exam. Pero tinamaan ako ng kaba kasi marami akong narinig na scary things about company medical exams. The worst is the "papatuwarin" at "sasalatin". At totoo pala lahat yun, and a lot more! Haha. Also, I had to spend 3000 pesos worth of dental prophylaxis (read:cleaning) and permanent filling (read:pasta sa ngipin). 3000 PESOS! Ang mom ko kasi, sa Healthway The Block branch nagpapacheck-up ng libre (sosyal!). Eh dun na din ako nagpa-cleaning at nagpa-pasta. Ayun, naubos pera namin. May 15% discount pa yun ha! T.T

Pabalik balik ako sa clinic for 4 days because of my blood pressure na hindi nakikipagcooperate sa akin. Ngarag naman kasi ako sa lakad papunta dun. Tsaka siguro dahil may LBM ako nung pumunta ako one time...Anyways, I passed the medical exam siguro because I will start on April 16. It's good that they are allowing color blind individuals to work in their company (damn that kookaburra, chorva, whatever, test for colorblindness!).

NBI clearance
Yesterday is the start of my kalbaryo towards completing my employment requirements. I arrived 10AM sa NBI-Plaridel Branch and I got my NBI clearance at around 2PM. That was quick. Computerized na siguro. And I have to go to Makati to fill up the other forms for my employment. Sumakit talaga ulo ko, 1 hour akong nag fill-up ng forms. My hands...My G-Tec ballpen...My stomach...huhuhu...

SSS, TIN, pictures
TIN is easy, online reg. Daanan na lang yung card sometime. SSS daw talaga ang ngarag. I have to choose: SSS East Ave or sa Bulacan. I have to choose Bulacan, since palagi akong dumadaan sa East Ave seeing all those swarm of individuals falling in line. Baka sa Bulacan mas konti ang tao. For those ID pictures, madali na lang yun.

apartment/boarding house/bed spacer anyone?
One of the reasons I want to work early is because I want to get out of my sister's apartment because of the people there and the dog. kinagat ba naman ako ng hinayupak! Hindi na tuloy flawless legs ko. Since I didn't have my independence in my college life, this time is the best time kasi may sweldo na ako.Harhar...

I am supposed to have my housemates at magre-rent kami ng apartment. Pero Teejay is in Ortigas. Si Jerry, hindi ko pa alam. I am in Makati. So hiwa-hiwalay. Kaya i'm considering kahit bed spacer lang. Or boarding house. Pero napapansin ko lang, bakit puro "LADY BEDSPACER: INQUIRE INSIDE" lagi kong nakikita? Dahil kaya may manyakis na may-ari sa loob?hmmm...

April 16. A start of a new chapter in my life...chos!

Yeah right. Here I come, PS3, PSP and iPOD! Ay oo nga pala, don't count the chickens!*

Legend:
* - Mali talaga yan. Hindi ako tanga. Ang tama ay "don't count the chicks before they hatch." o ha, o ha!

Penitensiya

2007-04-06T17:40:00.000+08:00

OK, sorry. I broke my penitence for this Holy Week that I will not surf the net for four days starting yesterday. Maybe I'm not that good in making sacrifices. Or I am just bored at home surrounded by my makukulit na nephews. Or I need to do something aside from eating. Oh well...

Things that I learned this past few weeks.

1. A Medical Exam is a pain in the ass, literally.

2. Im colorblind, and it's official.

3. It's bad being too concerned to someone to the point you worry too much and can't sleep.

4. Kalderetang baka is delicious.

5. One of my dreams may come true. It is all about ending the academic year with a bang.

Look ! I can't believe this! First time in history! An average student who will become a university scholar! C'mon c'mon!

Sorry, first time. Malay mo, bagsak pala kami sa thesis (heaven forbid). Pero ang galing noh? Sorry, excited. Akala ko kasi tres ako sa Socio10. Hehe...overwhelmed ako masyado. Tumataas ang blood pressure ko. Aaargh!

Dahil dyan, may bago akong motto: Masarap ang bawal.

If eating chocolate mousse is a sin, then I am in hell

2007-03-21T13:52:00.000+08:00

It's my nephew's birthday yesterday. So you know what that means. Aside from wala akong regalo sa kanya dahil sa angking kakuriputan ko, my mom cooked the best pansit ever and my sister bought a chocolate mousse cake.

Para sa mga hindi nakakaalam, chocolate mousse cake from Red Ribbon is one of (if not) the best cakes in the whole wide universe, followed closely by black forest and ube macapuno. This 500 calorie per serving, orgasm inducing, undeniably delicious and tempting cake is one of the reasons why I ballooned to 170+ pounds one time in my life when I was left at home and there is a whole cake of chocolate mousse in the ref.

I've been invlved in weight loss activities before like jogging, lifting weights and other wholesome(!) things that can make me sweat. But eventually, I keep on quitting every time. Nakakatamad kasi eh, pero ako makakaattract ng chikas kapag malaki tiyan ko? Baka maka-attract lang ako ng heavenly bodies at mag-orbit around ko kapag hindi ako naghinay-hinay sa pagkain.

So I will start slowly but surely. My sis is always drinking this tea that will make you get rid of harmful toxins in your body in the foulest-smelling way possible. Nakakapayat daw yung tea kapag used daily. Kaya mega try naman ako.

Ayos naman ang results. I have a regular bowel (hindi consonant) movement, happy disposition (magaan ang pakiramdam ko palagi pagkagising) and a painful anus because of crapping more than usual. Pero at least regular yung bowel movement ko. Pero hindi ko alam kung pano siya nakakapayat. Siguro dahil sa ijejebs mo lahat ng jebs na naimbak sa intestines mo na naipon ng isang siglo.

The second phase is after work (naks, parang may work na), I will go to the gym and work out. Or invite friends for a badminton session. Or stress myself to death in order to lose weight. Whatever. Then eventually, I will stop because of my dear old friend, Mr. Katamaran.

I'm getting depressed because of my "katamaran". I need to buy a choco mousse cake...

It's Over!

2007-03-15T10:55:00.000+08:00

At last, the final thesis presentation is over! One more thesis presentation (in a relatively smaller audience) and possibly a presentation in the URC are possibly next. One more quiz and exam in French10, one oral exam for Socio10 and a written exam in IE3 and I am all done with my acads. Yehey!

But I am still bothered if I will accept one of my job offers (parang ang daming offer ah!). Kamusta naman kasi, APRIL 1 ang start. Walang bakasyon bakasyon. Pero ang gusto ko naman ay makapagtrabaho na at magkaroon ng silbi sa lipunan bilang isang mabuting tax payer ng Pilipnas. Naks, parang totoo. Ang gusto ko lang naman ay makaalis sa bahay, lumayo kay bayaw(ak) at makabili ng PS3 at bagong phone. Yun lang naman.

Anyways, I'm gonna spend my remaining time in UP to enjoy and complete all of my requirements. Goodluck, graduates of 2007!

and now, the end is near...

2007-03-11T11:01:00.000+08:00

...and so I face, the final curtain.

Thesis presentation na sa wednesday. 75% complete na yata kami. yata. may problem sa pageexecute ng external processes. kelangan siya kasi our main program is java. The program that we are trying to execute is in C. The exe file won't work because it's compiled in cygwin. I think we should port on a linux OS. three days left. c'mon!

Masakit pala sa tiyan kapag ang almusal mo ay V-Cut. argggh! Gutom na ko!

[EDIT]

Naayos na namin. Maarte lang ang program.lech! 80% complete na!

Can you spell boredom?

2007-02-28T16:40:00.000+08:00

I can't write anything...no inspiration whatsoever...waaaaah!

BTW, PBB is back! But only 6 housemates entered. Bummer. The other housemates are scheduled to arrive this week. probably on Saturday? Hindi ba unfair sa iba yun kasi mas marami ng exposure yung naunang 6? oh well...So far, no early bets. A UP Maroon is expected to go inside the house:Bruce Quebral, the "basketball hunk" daw from the teasers is entering the house this week. Siya raw yung nasa revicon commercial...kebs.

AI is also back! But unlike before that there are obvious standouts, wala akong makita ngayon. I'm rooting for Melinda Doolittle, Jordin Sparks (for the girls) Blake Lewis and Chris Sligh (for the guys). I'm guessing a girl will win this season, and the pattern will be more evident. (girl-guy-girl-girl-guy-?)

My life is boring right now. Thank God for reality TV!...and Grey's Anatomy of course.

I hate Socio10!

2007-02-22T10:24:00.000+08:00

Bakit ko ba kinuha tong subject na to? Grrr...

So many terms. So many ideas. So few hot classmates. So many readings. And that exam? So long. Dapat nag Anthro10 or SocSci3 na lang ako. kung hindi ko lang to kailangang kailangan, idodrop ko na ito.

Ok tama na. Baka masira lang araw ko. May interview pa naman ako mamaya. Interview na naman?! Mabuti nalabhan na mga pants at polo ko.Weee!

I'm officially addicted to Grey's Anatomy. I am still finishing Season 2, then I will buy (or download) Season 3 and store it in a DVD. Bakit nga ba ako na-addict dito? Ung E.R. naman hindi ko masyadong sinubaybayan. Hindi ko type yung Scrubs. I also like House pero wala akong makitang DVD. Maybe it's the medical cases (pero mas OK ang cases ng House) and the relationships between the interns, residents and attendings. And I also like the characters (Christina Yang and Miranda Bailey!). And maybe I can relate to George's character.hehe...

And also, last Saturday is the best Saturday of my entire life!!! :D

Law of Compensation

2007-02-17T14:04:00.000+08:00

The law of compensation states that a lack of one aspect or thing in your life is equalized with the abundance of another.

A rich but broken family
An intelligent but psychotic student
Person with good looks, but with a bitchy attitude

Someone who has all the love he can give, yet no one to accept love from...

happy feet, sad feet

2007-02-09T11:34:00.000+08:00

Yesterday is the most stressful day of my entire life. More stressful than making my way through Recto. Ok, maybe it is as stressful as making my way through Recto. Imagine, two interviews in a day, both on different locations, add to that Ayala's sea of people in the MRT station, my aching feet and my grumbling tummy. And what do you get? Renz, ten pounds lighter. Haha... I wish!

It all started right after the moment I stepped out of our house's door. I'm still wearing my ONE AND ONLY pair of leather shoes. Leather shoes with no extra padding or cushion to support my 120 pound body. (Haha... I wish!) Add a pair of socks, VERY THIN pair of socks. Its like I'm not wearing any shoes at all. OK, good start for a very long day full of walking.

I'm late na for my first subject kaya I decided to surf the net muna in our Department before going to Ayala. (hehe...hindi napigilang mag-Tagalog. Nyahaha!)

*Fast forward to _____ building after the interview*

It's past 12, and I just finished my interview in the largest mobile telecom company in the Philippines (clue: hindi yan ang sim ko.hehe...) It's quite OK. Handled the interview very well, and met a couple of CoE students from Mapua. By the way, its UST interview week in that company, kaya out of place ako. Last week pa kasi ininterview yung mga taga-UP. Then, I was asked to return at 2 PM. But I have another interview in Ortigas at 4 PM and I am afraid that I may not be able to make it. So I rescheduled my next interview for next week.

My initial plan is to go to Megamall and eat my lunch there after my first interview. But, TJ texted me and suggested na ituloy na ang interview sa _____ (siguro naman alam niyo na tong company na ito) dahil less than an hour lang naman daw yun. He had the interview with the same company last week and guess what. They offered a job to him already! Galeng, congrats! Hemingwayz, I was already at the Ayala MRT station at the time I decided to go back to S____ to have my interview right after eating my lunch at Burger King. At parang nagmahal na ang BK, nalagasan tuloy ako ng 150 pesos. Grrr...

At that time, minumura na talaga ako ng mga paa ko sa sakit. When I arrived at S---- and asked the receptionist if the interview will take a while, she said yes. If I pass the first interview, there is a second one, then a third. Tuloy tuloy daw dapat. And that means I will not make it to my next interview if I continued. Stupid me, I should have asked that question earlier. Now my feet are really on a strike.

*Fast forward to my second interview in Ortigas*

I arrived earlier than scheduled, so there is some time to relax my feet, get it out from those darn shoes (my feet doesn't smell, don't worry) and get ready for my TECHNICAL interview. This is no ordinary interview. From what I have heard from others who applied at the same company, they will give you a hard problem and solve it by making a code on paper. Well, the problem is not that hard really. It's just like our MP in CS180. But I added too many things in the code and I should have done a simpler and better approach. But that's ok, I've defended myself very well.

After that tiring hell of a day, a nice share of blended coffee should keep my sanity intact. Parang pilay na ako maglakad pagkalabas ng PSE building, pero kinaya ko pa rin para lang makapag-kape. A Brownie Javakula from Seattle's is the best thing for the job to recover the lost calories or Adenosine Triphosphate or whatever. No Starbucks anytime soon because of that silly little planner.

Things to buy:
- something that will make my shoes softer
- THICK socks
- stored value ticket (pero bakit parang sold out palagi?grrr...)
- extra black and ????? pants (I don't know the color, I'm sorry)
- A cool polo (from G2000. Sale sila hanggang Feb 20. 40% off!)
- A shirt from oxygen (my official outfit sponsor. ganda talaga ng mga shirts nila)
- perfume/cologne/whatever pampabango (because I'm always borrowing the perfume at the sala without permission)
- a valentine's gift for myself. A love doll maybe. haha! joke.

P.S.
Starting now, I will be using larger fonts. =)

blog overhaul + plugging

2007-02-05T17:58:00.000+08:00

As you can see, iba na ang itsura ng blog ko. Got this from blogskins. Ang mahirap lang ay editing many lines of HTML and CSS code pero ok lang naman. I had what I want.

At siyempre mahirap din na magisip ng mga title ng bawat part ng blog. Naubos ang creative juices ko. And see the header? Ako gumawa niyan. Kahit na medyo may pagka-amateurish looking. First time kong gumawa ng header.hehe...

Ayoko sanang gawing medyo madrama ang tagline ng aking blog pero yun yata ang uso ngayong papalapit na ang balentayms.haay..

*plugging*

The Hunter

2007-02-04T15:10:00.000+08:00

I shouldn't have gone to the University Job Fair...well at some part of the Bahay ng Alumni. Call centers have been calling me for me to apply as a call center representative. I said...what! I've applied for a technical job in their company and now you are hiring me for a job answering calls from enraged customers. No way! I have nothing against call centers, nothing really (aside from the fact that my fungus-faced brother-in-law that I hate and despise so much works in a call center). But at least look at my job preference, its a column in your freaking sign-up sheet. Grrr...

Okay, I will stop na. I'm beginning to sound like him. All of this job hunting is sucking (what a word!) all the energy, money and time from me.

So why am I applying for so many jobs but in the end, you will only choose one from the ones that accepted you? Collect and Select? Maybe. Siguro sigurista lang talaga ako. Sigurista lang talaga tayo.

pizza all you can

2007-01-31T17:26:00.000+08:00

Unlimited Pizza. Bottomless Drinks. One Goal: ma-bankrupt ang Greenwich (or maski maka-break even lang)

For only 100 pesos, meron ka ng unlimited pizza. San ka pa? Para daw sulit ang bayad mo, dapat makakain ka ng at least 6 slices of pizza.

I can only eat 8 slices. Uminom kasi kaagad ako ng coke kaya nadisrupt ang aking digestive system. At least naka break-even (marketing term, c'mon!). Pero may ibang tao na kayang ibankrupt ang Greenwich, damay pa ang ibang branch. Imagine 20 SLICES! partida pa yan, 30 minutes left na lang bago mag 2pm dumating si Ernest (grabe!5 peso/slice). Second place ay 16 pcs na. C'mon talaga.

Hindi niyo ba napapansin? Ang pag-ibig ay parang pizza all you can. Subo ka lang ng subo, hindi mo namamalayan na busog ka na pala (ang labo!) Ang pag-ibig din ay parang bottomless softdrink...matamis. Ah basta...

edit sa post sa baba...

May planner na ako!hehe...Thanks to Roro, TJ and the woman falling in line behind us for giving my one final sticker. Sa wakas, pwede ko na siyang ipamigay. JOKE!

So many things to do this last week, lalo na yung last week! Job Fair kasi sa Engg last week (kumikita ang computer shops at mga xerox people para sa pagprprint ng resume at pagrerecopy ng TCG). Ngayon naman ay University wide Job Fair sa Bahay ng Alumni. Pumunta ako kanina at nagbigay ng mga resume...ewan ko na lang kung qualified ako. Hindi ko kinaya ang mga companies na sooper (with a capital S) sa pagiging aggresive in pulling you to their booth.

I had my very first interview last Friday, and (I think) it went very well naman. Ewan ko lang yung technical interview na mahirap daw yung problem. Let's just wait and see.

Sana makuha ako ng dream company ko...or maski ano na may mgandang sahod at benefits.keri na. Pero sana makagraduate ako. hekhek...

Sobrang sikat na talaga sa Ederlyn. OO, si Ederlyn, ang alamat ng forwarded quotes. Marami ng buhay ang pumapalibot sa kanya

Edralyn -kakambal/kapatid nya yata
Simplicia - nanay niya. hayop sa name!
Danny/Arman - boyfriend ni Ederlyn. Dalawa yung versions, pero mas tama yata yung kay Danny.
Trixie - pusa ni Ederlyn. Hindi ko kinaya 'to!
Thelma - Avon dealer ni Ederlyn (eto ang hindi ko kinaya talaga!)
Eduardo - Barangay Tanod. nagtext siya kagabi, naaksidente daw yung magkapatid. Nahagip ng trike habang tinetext kami. hehe...sorry ederlyn and edralyn!
Val - ex-bf ni edralyn. Tigilan na daw namin sila.

Eh ano magagawa namin? Ang saya kaya magforward ng messages nila!

sige na nga...

2007-01-11T17:04:00.000+08:00

After kong malugi ng 100 pesos dahil sa raffle raffle na yan at yung ibang tao ay nakakuha ng 25pesos na load bilang consolation price, babawasan ko na ang pagiging mainisin ko. Baka masyadong naapektuhan ang aking aura at lumalayo ang good luck sa akin.

Apat na stickers na lang ang kulang ko para makakuha ng planner. At hindi ko pa makumpleto...huhu...

for the sake na may update

2007-01-08T11:10:00.000+08:00

Ito ay isang bagong post.haha!

Wala akong napamaskuhan nung Pasko. Pero hitik sa pagkain. Yung dadalawang niregalo sa akin ay talagang gusto at inaasam ko.

Boring ang New Year. instead of celebrating it sa bahay, pumunta kami sa isang hotel sa bandang Makati at dun pinalipas ang bagong taon. Pero tinulugan ako ng mga kasama ko. Kamusta naman? So lumabas ako ng hotel ng bandang 11:30 at naghanap ng pwedeng puntahan. After some walking, napadpad ako sa paseo de roxas at nakapanoo ng 20 minute fireworks display right in front of me. Iba pala talaga ang feeling pag halos nasa harapan mo lang yung fireworks. May extrang kabog sa dibdib. Mas nakakaexcite.

Sinalubong ko man ang aking Bagong Taon ng nag-iisa, babalik at babalik din ako sa aking pamilya. (read:bumalik ako sa hotel at uminom kami ng white wine.)

At ngayon may pasok na naman. Nakumpleto na ang tulog ko. Kelangan bawasan ang timbang gawa ng fruit salad, hamon at halayang ube.

Late na pagbati: CONGRATS YENG!

2 days to go

2006-11-27T16:46:00.000+08:00

Merong mangyayari sa Wednesday, November 29. Hindi ko alam kung ano.hehe...

Sa mga kabarkada ko sa Bulacan: Pasensiya. Yung party na ginawa nung bago magstart ang sem ang blowout ko sa inyo. Hindi na rin kasi ako makakabalik ng Bulacan kasi sobrang dami na ng ginagawa.

Sa mga awitaners: Kapag natapos na yung fruitcake by wednesday, magpapa-pizza ako! Pero sabi ni fatso si lew lang ang magpapapizza. hehe...

Sa mga taga-dept: pinagiisipan ko pa kung magpapa-pizza din ako. Kasi sobrang mahal nun, lalo na ang yellow cab. Tsaka kung wala dun si... tignan natin...

Sa mga close/best friends ko here in UP: Pinagiisipan (again!) ko pa kung ano ililibre ko: food (that means McDo, Jollibee, etc.) or Starbucks (para makaipon ng sticker for the planner!).

Mawawalan na ng "teen" ang age ko...*sigh*

Rant #1 and Countdown#1 ctd.

2006-11-27T14:30:00.000+08:00

Countdown#1 ctd.
Akalain mong may bagong number 1 sa countdown!

The classmate from hell...the much deeper hell!

You are in a class then one of your classmates keep interrupting the lesson asking (most of the time, stupid) questions. And the only thing you can do is go out the door and wait for the non-sense to stop.

Rant#1
Kailan pa puwedeng magtelebabad sa department!KELAN PA!!!???

Countdown #1: Five persons you don't want to meet

2006-11-20T17:44:00.000+08:00

5. Teacher from hell
Maganda ang pakikitungo mo sa guro. Mukhang mabait naman siya. OK naman ang performance mo sa klase. Tapos ang grade mo: 3.0. Nice.
Pwede rin yung sobrang sama. Every meeting may quiz. Madaming requirements. Peste.

4. Classmate from hell
Yung tipong wala ng upuan sa classroom. May isang upuan, pero may nakaupong bag. Nang bigla mong nilapitan ang upuan na may bag at itanong kung may nakaupo, padabog na tatanggalin ang bag. Hanep!

3. Jeepney Driver from hell
Magbabayad ka ng 10. Sinabi mo estudyante. Tapos 7.50 pa rin ang siningil.
Pero wala ng mas sasama sa jeepney driver na sobrang bingi na kahit nagdudugo na ang tenga ng katabi mo sa pagsigaw ng "Ma, Para!" o "Bayad po!" ay hindi pa rin niya marinig. Darn!

2. Jeepney Passenger from hell
Eto pa ang isang peste. Halos nakadikit na ang braso mo sa mukha niya, ayaw pa rin abutin yung bayad mo. Mega talikod pa sayo na kulang na lang itaas ang paa niya sa upuan. Karamihan ng napapabilang dito ay mga babae:matrona, matanda, estudyante, pokpok. Ang isang variety ng JPFH ay ang mga babae na mahaba ang buhok na humahampas sa mukha mo kapag mahangin.

1. Student Assistant na MapapHELL.
Ayaw ko ng magreact kasi naiirita pa rin ako sa nguso at pagiging mapapel niya.

Grad Pics!

2006-11-20T17:36:00.000+08:00

I got my gradpics. At isa lang masasabi ko: Iba talaga ang nagagawa ng photoshop!hehe...

Sa wakas, may madidisplay na ako sa graduation pictures sa sala ng bahay namin sa Bulacan.

kadramahan part2

2006-11-16T13:43:00.000+08:00

Hindi ako makatulog nung isang araw. Pagod naman ako kasi nag-jogging ako nung hapon, dapat makatulog kaagad ako. Pero mayroon na namang bumabagabag sa isip ko, sa damdamin ko.

Bakit ba hindi ko masabi palagi ang nararamdaman ko? Bakit palagi ko na lamang nililihim lahat ng paghanga ko? Bakit ba ako pinanganak na torpe?

Iniisip ko na naman siya...

Hindi ko masabi na pinapaligaya niya palagi ang araw ko.
Kung bakit ako palaging masaya kapag kasama ko siya.
Kung bakit nasa kanya na lahat ng katangiang hinahanap ko.
Na naapreciate ko ang pagtawa sa mga jokes kong corny.
Na nawawala ang pagod kapag nakikita ko siyang nakangiti.
Na mahal ko siya...

Siguro takot na akong masaktan. Takot ng mapahiya. Pero sana hindi ako matakot na umibig...

Kukuha lang ng tiyempo, mag-iipon ng lakas ng loob, sasabihin ko na din ito sa kanya.

Battle of the...wtf!

2006-10-16T11:29:00.000+08:00

VS

Two singing competitions. Two different contestants. Two words: They suck!

Let's compare the two of the most popular singing (?) sensations of the hottest singing competitions today. Kris Abrenica (Pinoy Dream Academy) and Miguel Mendoza (Philippine Idol).

ROUND 1: VOICE

Kris has an R&B style in his voice. A Kris Lawrence copycat. Cannot hit the high notes. Butchered a lot of songs, especially Josh Groban's She's out of my Life. I can sing better than him, especially when taking a bath.
I can't find Miguel's style. Pa-tweetums effect balladeer? Made a mess during the Soul and R&B week. Not one of the "more deserving one's " to make it to Idol. Voice is not that mature enough. I can sing better than him, especially when taking a bath.

ROUND 1 WINNER: DRAW (I really can't tell. I can't stand listening to them both!)

ROUND 2: CHARISMA

Kris is cute "daw". Saved by text votes for 3 FREAKING TIMES, even if he had one of the worst performances.
Miguel is cute "daw". Sailed through the Final 12 because of his looks and maybe because of the LaSalle Community. Looks like a chinito gay guy.

ROUND 2 WINNER: DRAW (hindi ako sanay tumingin ng cute.)

ROUND 3: TALENTS ASIDE FROM SINGING (may talent sa singing?)

Kris: Piano and Guitar (from the Pinoy Dream Academy official site). And Kris can dance too, judging from his performance last Saturday.
Miguel: Piano, guitar and a little drums (from the Philippine Idol official site)

ROUND 3 WINNER: DRAW (3-3. its a tie)

ROUND 4: CARREER after PDA/PI
Kris: May be built up for acting. Star Magic perhaps?
Miguel: Baka kunin ng GMA para pantapat kay Kristoff.Or ilagay ng ABC5 sa Ripley's Believe it or Not pampalit kay Raymond Bagatsing!

ROUND 4 WINNER: DRAW

BOTTOM LINE: Wala lang. gusto ko lang mang-olats ng tao. XD

backfighter

2006-10-11T18:11:00.000+08:00

Dahil uso ang backfighting ngayon, this entry will be all about me backfighting my most favorite topic of discussion.

Kung natatandaan niyo ang aking entry na may title na papel, siya ang tutukuyin ko dito.

Naiirita talaga ako sa kanya! Sa nguso, sa boses, sa kakapalan ng mukha, sa lahat lahat na. Naiirita talaga ako kapag nakikita ko yung pagmumukha niya. Akala mo naman kung sinong magaling, eh hindi naman.Napaka-mapapel pa. Grrr....

OK tama na. masyado ng obvious kung sino ito kapag nagsalita pa ako.

Quote for the day: Hindi wrestling stadium ang SA area, kaya huwag dito mag-away. XD

The Day After Milenyo

2006-10-07T16:45:00.000+08:00

Thursday ng umaga: Masaya akong nagcocomputer ng magsimulang humangin at lumakas ang bagyo. AT biglang nagbrownout. peste! Masisira ang PC ko na to. Naghintay ako ng sandali akala ko magkakaroon ulit ng kuryente. Lumubog ang araw, wala pa rin. Nagsimula na akkong magtext sa mga friends kung may kuryente na sa kanila at kung anu-ano pa. At biglang nawalan ng charge. AAAAARGGGHH! Magchacharge sana ako ng nalaman kong...wala paalng kuryente. nice...

Friday: Nanghiram ako ng cellphone sa mom ko na may full bar. Nilagay ko yung sim ko at pagbukas ng fone, dalawa na lang ang batt. nice.

Pinagwithdraw ako ng ate ko sa atm. Nilakad ko papunta sa atm machine at nakita ang destruction. shet, offline pa ang atm. Wala pang pera. Bumalik ako sa bahay. Pinabalik ako sa atm machine na mas malayo at subukan yung isang ATM niya. Naman...bakit hindi na lang pinagsabay? SIyempre nag-jeep na ako, hindi ako martir. Lo and behold, offline pa din sila.

Nag-gabi na at wala pa ring kuryente. Nagamit na namin yung kandilang hindi nagamit nung pumunta kami sa Banahaw. Mabuti hindi masyadong mainit. At plentiful din naman ang tubig kaya no prob. Dahil walang tv, madali ako nabore. Kaya hinalughog ko ang buong cabinet ko para mahanap ang aking walkman na luma. Hindi kasi magamit yung mp3 player ko kasi AAA battery ang kailangan. Sa wakas, natagpuan ko. Nakinig ng news, ng music, at inantok. zzzz...

Sabado. Hindi ko na kaya! Nakapagwithdraw na sila nung kinagabihan. At alam niyo na ibig sabihin niyan, nag-mall kami. kumain, namili ng bagong wardrobe (pang presentation) at pumunta sa the block. Nakasulubong ko din ang isang (read:malandi) kaklase ko nung high school. What a coaccident!

Napagalaman ko din na may kuryente na sa bahay nmin sa Bulacan simula nung Friday pa. Napangiti ako at hindi na nagdalawang isip. Pero naalala ko yung debut ni Joelle. At dahil wala akong line of communication, hindi na ako nakapunta. (sorry Joelle.huhuhu...).Nakauwi na kami at masayang nakapanood ng expulsion night ng pda at performance night ng pi. the joys of electricity nga naman.

Linggo. Wala pa ring kuryente sa Kamuning. hindi muna ako lumuwas. At dahil sa bagyo, hindi kami nakapag-prepare ng presentation sa thesis. Akala namin mamomove pero no! We're dead.

Lunes. Maaga ako nagising kasi nagbabakasakali akong may kuryente na sa up. Hindi ako nakapag-almusal, nabasag kasi ang itlog na dapat ay almusal namin (totoo po ito. nakakaawa no?) Kuamin ako sa 7-11 at sumakay na sa jeep.

Nakita ko ang destruction sa buong campus. Ngayon lang ako nakakita ng ganun. Mas lalo akong nagulantang dahil wala pa ring kuryente. Pero nagkaroon bigla ng bandang 9:30 am. yipee! nakagawa kami ng presentation, at nairaos naman ito.

Martes. Nagkalagnat ako. Sinearch ko ang net para malaman ang symptoms ng dengue. Lahat tumutumpak except sa rashes. Nagpanic ako, umuwi at nagpahinga. Hindi na nagpa-check up sa doctor katulad ng binabalak ko.

Ngayon: OK na ang pakiramdam ko. pero nangangati ako. Iniisip ko kasi palagi na may sakit ako? Placebo effect or buni? hindi ko alam...

LSS

2006-09-26T19:17:00.000+08:00

Sobrang LSS ako dito sa kanta na ito! since nung weekend pa. Primarily because ito yung kinanta ni Yeng of PDA nung sabado (kahit hindi ko napanood, napanood ko yung rehearsals). And it is stuck in my head for 4 days na! This song is revived by Moonstar88, hindi ko nga lang alam yung original. This is one of the best songs evah! The melody, the lyrics, its so hypnotic.

Ang Pag-Ibig kong Ito
Moonstar88

Umiiyak ang aking pusong nagdurusa
Ngunit ayokong may makakita
Kahit anong sakit ang aking naranasan
'Yan ay ayokong kanyang malaman

Refrain:
Mga araw na nagdaan,
kailanma'y hindi malilimutan
Kay tamis na raw ng pagmamahalan
Ang akala ko'y walang hangganan

Chorus:
Ang pag-ibig kong ito
Luha ang tanging nakamit buhat sa'yo
Kaya't sa Maykapal
Tuwina'y dalangin ko
Sana'y...

(Repeat All)

Kapalaran ko ay magbago

(repeat Refrain)

(repeat Chorus)

Kapalaran ko ay magbago

its been a long time

2006-09-26T10:11:00.000+08:00

Haaaay! Ang tagal ko ng hindi nakakapag-blog. Busy-busyhan ako sa maraming bagay.

Last week, isang exam, isang paper at isang report. Dagdagan mo pa ng marketing congress. Sobrang daming ginawa. Pero, natapos ko naman yung paper, hindi masyadong nahirapan sa exam at ok lang yung report. Yung marketing congress, third kami! We didn't expect it talaga considering maraming magagaling. Kaya mayroon na akong "official" medal/award from UP. Yehey! Plus, 10,000 pesos (divided into 5, kaya 2k sakin). Yehey ulit!

This week, sobrang dami din ng gagawin. Machine Problem, thesis, CS173 project. Haggard. Pero i can't believe na matatapos na yung sem. Amazing!

GRAD PICS!

2006-09-13T17:12:00.000+08:00

Nakuha na namin yung contact prints namin last week. OK naman ang kinalabasan. Siguro dahil sa photoshop. Here are some of them:

Here ( I think) is my best pic. Wala lang. Pero ayos ang smile ko dito, parang natural. hindi pilit. Nung elementary kasi para akong najejebs. Ngayon ok na.

Ayoko na maglagay pa ng solo pics! Next na lang yung napili kong iparecopy na barkada pic.

Sosyal! Pangit kasi yung ibang pic kaya eto napili ko. Wala lang din. Mabuti nga nakapunta sila sa barkada pic ko. Hehe...

Banahaw Expeditions

2006-09-13T16:49:00.000+08:00

Sorry for the very late update. Been busy this few weeks. Lalo na nung pumunta kami sa Banahaw last weekend.

For 1,350 pesos, we will go to Dolores Quezon and stay there for two days to do different kinds of stuff. Masaya yung dalawang araw, hindi sayang ang pera.

Sa first day, yung mga pinuntahan namin ay yung Sta. Lucia Falls, kung saan "bininyagan" kami at nilublob sa ice-cold water. As in ice cold. Kaya marami ang nagkapulikat. Im lucky I'm not one of them. Another memorable experience is the Husgado, a cave where, they say, hindi nakakalabas ang mga makasalanan. Siyempre kinabahan naman ako. Ayoko namang ma-stuck dun forever at dalhan na lang nila ng pagkain. Mabuti naman at nakalabas ako.

When night came, nagpulasan ang mga tao to freshen up. Kaw ba naman ang umakyat ng bundok at pumasok sa kweba buong araw. Pero kelangan daw magtipid sa tubig. Ayos na daw ang mga 3 buhos. Mabuti may extra water na dumating, courtesy of the fire hose na sobrang lakas ng pressure na nakasakit kay Sir Nilo (our prof) and one of my groupmates. Mabuti hindi sila tuloy-tuloy mahulog sa bangin. After the sharing and inuman sessions later that night, we all went to sleep. SOBRANG LAMIG! yun lang masasabi ko.

The next day was even tiring. We went to Kalbaryo, a mountain with a sacred cross on top. Fatale ang pag-akyat dun. Feeling ko nag-lose ako ng 10 pounds (I wish) sa pag-akyat. Pero ayos ang feeling pag nasa tuktok ka na, wala na lahat ng pagod mo.

Tapos bumaba na kami ng bundok at bumalik sa base. After lunch, we went to Kinabuhayan. Sobrang dami din namin ginawa dito. Naghike, pumasok sa mga kweba, nag-hoke, pumasok ulit sa kweba. And after that, dinala nito kami sa isang waterfalls. Ayos! Kahit medyo madumi yung tubig, pwede pa naman siya paliguan. Hindi rin ako tumalon sa itaas nung falls kasi ayaw kong isugal ang buhay ko. Sayang nga na nung last day lang kami nakapagbonding ng mga groupmates ko. Masaya din palang sumakay sa itaas ng jeep.

Then we went home. At eto pa, may inuman pa ng lambanog sa loob ng jeep pauwi. Pero dahil sanay na ako (ng konti), hindi ako nahilo. Para ngang walang epek eh, siguro mas nasaany na ako sa gin kaysa lambanog. Dumaan din kami sa Colette's para bumili ng buko pie. Para siguro bawiin ang nawalang calories sa amin.

That trip is truly a great experience, both spiritually and physically. You can do things that you thought you can't do. Taba ko na ito, nagkasya ako sa mga kuweba? Enjoy talaga, sana may next time.

Calling CURSOR or LAKAN! Pwede Semender dito! XD

Definitions: The Return

2006-09-04T19:11:00.001+08:00

OK. I got famous (in CURSOR and among my friends) because of giving new *and corny* definitions to existing things. Well, I'm back! And I made all of these definitions during CS131 Numerical Methods. Halatang bored. hehe...

1. Poisson - (1) n. lason (2) n. yung part ng body na sa ilalim ng bellybutton (sumasakit ang poisson ko!!!)

2. Assume - n.isang sapatos

3. edge - edad. naalala ko bigla ang isang text joke.
Beauty Pageant...
Host: Candidate number 1. your question: What is your edge over the other contestants?
C#1: MABUHAY!My edge...over the other contestants...is 20 years old. (this made me laugh)

4. transient - using it in a sentence...

"Uy pare, wag na tayo sa FX sumakay. Sa Baliwag Transient na lang!"

5. Fahrenheit - using it (again) in a sentence...

"Uy tignan mo yung girl, ang ganda! Pero sayang fahren, heit na lang ang kulang..."
(para sa mga hindi nakagets...pero sayang pare, height na lang ang kulang)

Stop the corniness! Vote me, I will be the next Philippine Idol!!!

impromptu

2006-08-31T17:29:00.000+08:00

Today is our thesis presentation. Mari (my thesismate) should be the presentor for today. But, because of an unexplained circumstance, she was rushed to the Infirmary. I don't know the exact reason, but since Jerry (my other thesismate) presented first, there is only one choice:Me, presenting an imprmptu presentation.

I haven't felt that way since my impromptu speech way back at my Comm3 class. My ears became so warm, I became all sweaty and panicky, and other chorva things. With less than 2 hours to go, a speech that should be done and practiced for at least a day is crammed to a couple of hours. How exciting! And the flash disk and script is with Mari, Jerry rushed to get it. We became lucky when another group decided to switch presentation times with us, putting us in a 4:30 PM slot instead of the scheduled 3:30. Thanks a lot, how can we ever repay you?

My time came, and my heart is ready to explode. But, learning from my Comm3 class and various speeches, I continued. ALthough I forgot some lines and buckled, It did go very well, better than I've expected being eaten alive by the panelists. The panelists asked few and very answerable questions which made our life a lot easier. I gave a sigh of relief after the presentation. Thank God.

Mari, please be well soon. Magpahinga ka lang dyan. And also to Teejay who lost his cellphone and some money because of a holdapan incident, we are happy you are not hurt. No amount can replace somebody's life. Hehe... XD

Papel

2006-08-28T19:22:00.000+08:00

Likha ng Diyos ang mga puno.
Ang puno ay pinagmumulan ng papel.
Ang papel ay maraming gamit.

Pero...bakit may taong mapapel?
Dahil sila ba ay galing sa puno?

Just finished my exam on CS133. My performance? I will be VERY surprised if I get 75 or higher. I will be happy with 70pts. Really.

We had another coffee experience yesterday to review for our exams. Our friend since high school Roro dropped by at around 11pm and exploited my discount privelege in SBC. In spite of her busy schedule, she still managed to talk once in a while to us. (drama!)

And for the first time, I felt sleepy in Seattle's. Maybe because I ordered grande instead of supremo and the coffee didn'y have that much effect. Teejay left his wallet in his dorm so he borrowed some money from me. I intentionally ordered grande instead of supremo to lessen my burden. Don't tell this to him ha. (joke lang!)

The Good, The Bad and The Z

2006-08-24T19:46:00.000+08:00

The Good:
High grades in CS131 exam (I'm just happy to get that kind of grade. Pasensiya na...)
Got my SA salary.

The Bad:
Our thesis. Well not that bad. So many things to do.
A paper due tomorrow and an exam on Saturday. (This means two consecutive overnights)

The Z:
I saw Z again.
Z is so cute!
'nuff said.

Z

2006-08-23T18:46:00.000+08:00

I want to see Z everytime.
I seldomly see Z.
I usually see Z at the cafeteria.
Z is sometimes alone.
I want to join Z sometime.
I think about Z always.
I think I like Z.

Wacky Weekend

2006-08-22T11:45:00.000+08:00

Day 1, Saturday: First Time in Recto

Since I am the Logistics Head for the upcoming @rte movement (plugging), ako ang pinapunta nila sa Recto para maghanap ng GLASS trophy. Daming beses na akong nagbalak na pumunta sa Recto pero hindi pa natuloy. And finally, after some days of praying, natuloy na. Marami akong naririnig na masamang balita about Recto: holdapan, snatchan, chorvahan. Natakot naman ako. Pero being the adventurous person, balak kong pumunta mag-isa. Pero the intelligent side of me said na isama mo ang mommy mo, iwasan ang disgrasya, iwasan ang maligaw.

So sinama ko na nga ang mom ko papuntang Recto. Sumakay kami ng Quiapo Jeep sa may E.Rodriquez. Para akong bata na kulang na lang ay ilabas ang ulo ko para tignan ang view sa labas. Amazing talaga, para akong ibong nakawala sa hawla ng Quezon City.

Pagkababa namin sa...actually hindi ko alam yung street na yun na perpendicular sa Recto. Meron na dung mga pagawaan ng trophies. At pagliko namin sa MISMONG Recto, I was shocked. Traumatized. Afraid. Some men approached us na parang manghoholdap. OMG, sabi ko sa sarili ko, dapat pala hindi na kami pumunta. Mapapahamak pa kami. Nang akala ko ilalabas na nila ang icepick, nilapitan lang pala kami para pumunta sa stall nila at tumingin ng trophy. Wheeew...ang weird naman, sabi ko. Kelangan ka pang sindakin para makakuha ng customer. Pero eventually, nakumbinsi nila kami kasi sila yung pinakamura na nakita namin. Effective pala ang ganung strategy.

After some libot libot (ang panget!), umuwi na kami. At dahil parang mas matagal pa ang biyahe sa jeep kaysa sa pagtingin namin ng trophy, nag LRT-2 na lang kami. Ganun pa rin siya, maluwang, pwede magpatintero sa loob, sana ito na lang yung ilagay sa EDSA. Kumain kami ng mom ko sa Max's sa Gateway. Yun lang, nakakahighblood na kasi yung mga susunod na nagyari kaya hindi ko na ikukwento.

Day 2, Sunday: Kape na naman

Dahil mayroong assignment sa amin para sa Marketing Congress at kailangan ko ulit matuto magprogram using C, nagkape ako sa Morato at dun ko na lang ginawa ang kailangan gawin. Imbes na Mocha Freeze, nagtry naman ako ng iba, Black Forest Freeze naman. Masarap naman siya, pero feeling ko tumindi ang diabetes ko pagkatapos kong uminom, at may bonus cherry pang kasama. At second straight time ko ng nakikita yung isang actor sa ABS na hindi ko alam ang name na palaging pumapape bilang tatay o driver. Suki siguro siya.

Day 3, Monday: Mall Hopping

Ninoy Aquino day, walang pasok. Boring. Umuulan. So mga bandang 2:30, naglakwatsa ako. Iniwanan ko ang karamihan ng pera ko sa bahay para maiwasan ang paglulustay. Pero dahil inubusan ako ng lunch ng aking mga mabubuting kasambahay, kumain muna ako sa labas ng bahay namin para tipid. So feeling niyo naman wala akong pera at hindi ako makakakain mag-isa?HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Anyweyz, first stop: Gateway. Actually hindi na ako dumaan dun, nakakasawa na kasi. Sa paligid na lang ng Araneta Coliseum ako dumaan kahit puro kainan lang ang makikita. Enjoy naman yung mga babes na umiinom ng coffee at kumakain ng cake.

Second stop: SM Cubao. Wala naman akong pera, kaya nilibot ko lahat ng floors ng department store. AY, isang malaking department store nga lang pala ang SM Cubao, sorry. Baka makakita rin ako ng idea para sa marketing strategy namin for Marketing Congress.

Last Stop: Ali Mall. First time ko dito, sa mall na pinangalan kay Muhammad Ali. Masakit na yung mata ko pagtungtong ko sa Ali Mall. Nakasagap yata ng sore eyes papunta. Kaya one floor lang yung nalibot ko, and I decided na umuwi na kasi nagrereklamo na yung paa ko.

Moral Lessons:
Dapat may kasama sa Recto kapag first time mo pumunta.
Patience is a virtue.
Maluwang ang LRT-2. May matandang nakasakay na ayaw sa maiingay na kabataan.
Masarap ang kapeng mahal. Mas masarap kapag may pera kang pambili.
Huwag magmukmok sa kwarto para ipagtabi ka ng pagkain sa mesa.

"What's wrong spending my first 16 years of my life alone and spending the rest of my life searching and eventually finding the right one?"

Yan ang drama ko nung naging 1st year college ako. At siguro yan din ang isasagot ko kay Kris Aquino kapag nakasali ako sa Game KNB at intrigahin niya ang lovelife ko. Hanggang ngayon, iyan pa rin ang prinsipyo ko sa buhay, except yung 16 naging 20 na. Apat na taon na pala ang lumipas...

SO what happened in my first four years of searching? Well, marami akong kinilala at nakilala. Hanggang doon lang. Hindi na ako nag-abala pa na mahulog ako sa kanila kasi sa tingin ko hindi sila yung tao na yon. Natuto na rin kasi ako. Ayoko ng umasa, mas masakit kasi. Mas mabuti ng hindi gawin hanggang maaga pa lalo na kung sa umpisa pa lang may alinlangan ka na.

Pero sa isang pagkakataon, mabibigla ka na lang yung tao pala na hinahanap mo, hindi na kailangang hanapin. Mabibigla ka na lang na makakasalubong mo siya habang nakapila before enrollment. Lalo na kung kaklase mo pala siya sa isang subject at hindi mo maiwasang tumitig sa kanya ng matagal. Lalo pa kapag nakausap at nakilala mo na siya at nalaman mo na siya pala ang tipo mo.

Mapapatanong ka naman sa sarili mo: "Siya na ba yon?". Patay na, hindi ka na makatulog. Patuloy na nag-iisip sa tanong na yon. Marami kang mararamdaman. Takot, kaba, saya, inis, constipation. Halo halo na yan sa loob ng katawan mo. At bigla mo na lang isasagot na hindi pa pala siya iyon.

Marami kang rason kung bakit. Sobrang dami na ayaw mo ng isipan pa uli. At kapag inisip mo pa, baka sisihin mo pa ang sarili mo kung bakit hindi mo pa tinuloy. Maiisip mo din na hindi lang siya ang babae sa mundo na tipo mo. Marami pang tao diyan. Malay mo, mayroon pala siyang mahabang buhok sa kili kili. Diyahe naman kung ganun.

Hindi pa rin mawawala ang gabay ng pamilya. Tapusin mo muna pag-aaral mo. Sasabihin nila na mas maganda kung katrabaho mo yung makakatuluyan mo. Pareho na kayong may direksyon ang buhay. Alam niyo na ang tama at mali. Malay mo, kayo pa ang maging mag-asawa. Huwag kang tutulad sa mga kapatid mo. Huwag ka magpadala sa init ng katawan. Mga ganung klaseng bagay. Masuwerte ako at pamilya ko sila, kaya dapat maging maswerte rin sila sa akin.

Masaya ka ba kung marami kang inibig?
Masaya ka ba kung maraming beses ka na umiyak sa taong kinahuhumalingan mo?
Masaya ka ba kung maraming beses ka ng nagpaiyak ng mga taong nahuhumaling sayo?

Ako, magiging masaya ako kung nakilala ko na yung taong yon. Yung kukumpleto sa pagkatao ko, in the right place, in the right time, in the right situation.

...At masaya ako kung palaging nandyan ang mga kaibigan ko. At may frap/freeze/javakula. At cheesecake. At dewberry.At hindi ako bagsak sa exam..

Bad Day

2006-08-15T13:34:00.000+08:00

This day has the beginnings of a very bad day.

Our report. Well, it hasn't gone according to our plans. I never had a chance to speak because Sir cut me off. Meow. And Tienne is stuck in traffic in Marikina. Meow Meow. But we finished the report, thank goodness. One of our classmates "was volunteered" by Sir as our voice talent. Thanks to him.

Exam tomorrow. And I am still at the half of our lesson. Pussycat dolls! Need to work double time.

Lag. The Create a New Post of Blogger takes a long time to load. Thanks to Multiply and cross posting, I am updating my sites simultaneously. Amazing!

War vs. Peace. Please people. The fiery red devils are very happy with what you are all doing. "Hindi matatama ng isang pagkakamali ang isang pagkakamali." Lalong lumalala ang apoy... Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. (kanta to diba?)

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

OMG!

2006-08-14T09:48:00.000+08:00

OMG!

My body is responding well with expensive coffee. Im still awake at 3AM. OMG!

Does that mean that I will go to a coffee shop everytime there is an exam? OMG!

Average of exams/review sessions per week: 2-3
Starbucks Venti Mocha Frap:150Php
Baang Tall Mocha Freeze:130Php
Average cost per week: 260 - 450 Php

OMG! And Baang's New York Cheesecake is very delicious. But it costs 90 freaaaaking pesos! OMG!

I think I must stick with plain old coffee and milo this month. Ayoko ng maholdap! XD

Disclaimer: Ang sumusulat po nito ay kapus palad. Kaya big deal na sa kanya ang 90 pesos. Hehehe...XD

false alarm

2006-08-11T11:56:00.000+08:00

Today is supposed to be our report in our PI100 class about El Fili. So sinet ko yung alarm ko ng 6 para nasa school na ako ng 7:30. Lo and behold!Hindi ko na naman narinig ang alarm! Either mahimbing ang tulog ko or dahil natabunan ng unan yung phone ko, hindi ko na alam. 7 na ako nagising at nakarating ako sa school ng 7:45. Wala pa yung iba, kaya nakapagprepare pa kami ng report.

The class started at exactly 8:30 AM. Discussions, blah blah blah. Tapos bigla akong tinawag. Sabi ko sa sarili ko: Nakupo! Acting scene na naman to. Ako daw ay isang doctor sabi ni sir, nanggagamot ng lahat ng sakit. Ni-ridean ko naman. Sabi ko sa isang bingi: maglinis ka lang ng tutuli iha. OO, corny na ako...

Tagal ng discussion, hindi tuloy kami nakapagreport...yehey!

Note: Oi guys sali kayo sa @rte Movement. Punta kayo sa arte.upcursor.org. nandun yung instructions. Prizes awaits the winners (natural!) XD

Starbucks ala Pobre

2006-08-10T09:02:00.000+08:00

1. In a tall glass, put one TABLESPOONFUL of coffee. (tablespoonful is emphasized)

kailangan magising...may exam bukas at may report sa susunod na araw.

2. Add one tablespoon of sugar.

dapat kelangan din ng konting tamis. pangit naman kung mapait lang.

3. Add half a tablespoon of powdered milk

konti na lang ang gatas. baka wala na silang ipanghalo bukas ng umaga sa kape nila.

4. (optional) Put chocolate powder for mocha flavor.

Namumuo na yung milo. Pede pa ito inumin? Sige na nga, para sumarap.

5. Add ice cold water.

Shet!Dapat pala mainit na tubig muna para malusaw. Peste! Namuo tuloy...

6. Stir vigorously.

Pussycat dolls! Ayaw pa din malusaw...Uy buong milo! Pweeeh! kape pala.

7. Add crushed ice for added coolness.

Maingay pag nilabas ko pa yung blender. Madaling araw na. kukuha na lang ako ng namumuong yelo sa walls ng freezer

8. Drink and enjoy!

Ampangit ng lasa! Pero kailangang magising...

antok na ko...

thesis!

2006-08-09T16:29:00.000+08:00

The ever dreaded thesis consultation is tomorrow. Our adviser came from abroad (vacation or meeting i guess) and he is expecting a prototype tomorrow. OMG!!! So merong overnight mamaya sa amin. Tapos ako naman, may exam bukas. Goodluck naman!

Shitness! I've been waiting for 5PM in order for friendster to be available here in the UP domain. But merong scheduled maintenance! Sayang ang oras ng paghihintay. Review na nga lang...

coffee rush

2006-08-09T11:48:00.000+08:00

Shet! Kakatapos lang ng exam puro objective. Nakakainis! Na mental block pa ako...Oh well, medyo confident pa naman ako sa magiging results.

It's all because todo review ako kahapon. Hindi naman whole day, nakapag-ISOC pa nga kami eh, committee namin ang may sponsor. Modified speed yung ginawan ko ng rules at pinasinayaan. Yung isang game, pinoy henyo. Pero...nagkaroon daw ng dayaan. Ah, basta. Ayaw ko ng ungkatin ang issue. Ang sa amin lang, kung nagkaroon talaga ng dayaan, mayroong mga apps na kasali, bad example yun sa kanila. Yun lang.

So, nagdecide na lang kami ni bespren TJ na magreview ng aming upcoming exam (yung exam ko ngayon). Pero saan? At sa SM North kami napadpad.

Nagdinner muna kami sa BK (unlimited drinks!woohoo!) at nag coffee sa Starbucks. Sosyal! May tira pa kasi akong sweldo from the SA salary noong June kaya may pera ako. At venti pa talaga ang inorder. Minsan lang mgpaka sosyal ang jologs, pagpasensiyahan niyo na.

So review naman kami. Tapos ng bored na, napag-usapan (na naman) ang tungkol sa magiging trabaho pagka-graduate namin. Marami akong natutunan sa kwentuhan namin ni TJ. Hindi lang grades ang batayan ng pagkakatanggap sa trabaho. Ano napatunayan mo kapag mataas ang grades mo? Matalino ka. Yun lang. Eh pano ang katulad ko na hindi kataasan ang grades? Sabi nga ni bespren, bawiin sa ibang aspeto.

Merong nagtanong sa akin dati (isang tao na good for nothing). Bakit ka pa ba sumasali sa mga org org? Ano ba mapapala mo diyan? Ang nasabi ko nun, para sa resume. Pero may iba pa palang sagot dun.

He can't understand me kasi magkaiba kami ng course. Nursing siya, ComSci ako. Hindi nila kelangan ng extra curricular activities, kelangan lang nila ang kakayahan para makatulong sa maysakit. Iba kami. Kelangan makita ng mga companies na pwede kaming makipag-deal at lead sa iba't ibang klase ng tao. Iba kami, tanggapin mo yun (bitter?haha).

Anyways, effective yung venti mocha frap. Hindi ako nakatulog until 2AM. Usually kasi tulog na ako ng 11PM. May napanood pa ako sa HBO kagabi. About an Alanis Morisette look alike girl with a gift of reading people's thoughts. At first, akala nila psycho siya because she is hearing so many voices in her head. Pero, yung mga voices pala na iyon ay thoughts ng maraming tao. So a person helped her to focus her thoughts and just listen to the thoughts of a particular person she is looking into. Astig no?! Pero she found out that she will be used for NSA (National Security Agency) for the nation's security (sa mga interrogations). Nag freak-out siya pero eventually pumayag siya. Thoughtcrimes yata ang title ng movie. I was glued to the TV screen, pero nakapagreview pa naman ako.

How fun could it be if I am a telepath? Masaya siguro marinig mga dirty thoughts ng mga tao. Haha...naughty me!

float

2006-08-09T10:05:00.000+08:00

I thought hindi na ako makakapag-update ng blog, hindi pala. Hehe...

May exam kami dapat ngayon eh, 8:30 dapat yung start ng class. Late ako nagising, hindi ko narinig yung alarm ko. So inuna ko muna yung ligo, nagbihis at binilisan ang pagkain. When I arrived here in UP, someone told me na 9:30 pa ang class. Shet, dapat hindi pala ako nagmadali. Dapat Jumebs muna ako sa bahay. Pero oh well... makakapag-aaral pa ako.

Pero after some time, nagtext yung teacher namin sa mga project leaders na 10:30 pa yung class. Shet na naman! Hindi na ako nagreview, nagupdate muna ako ng blog.

Marami nangyari kahapon. Mamaya ko isusulat after ng exam. Review muna ako.Good Luck CS173 peeps!XD

Of eyes and manananggals

2006-08-08T10:42:00.000+08:00

My eyes are still watery...Ewan ko ba. Nagsimula siya nung umuwi ako ng Bulacan nung Saturday. Tapos nag sneeze ako ng madaming beses. Allergy? Colds? I don't know...pero my eyes got watery all throughout the day.

Our provincial organization had a new and large event this weekend. Pambatang Buklatan. You will donate books and you will get a raffle coupon in order for you to win a cellphone. Bonga! Sponsor nga pala nila ang isang telecom company. And we did that event sa isang mall sa province namin. Big time na talaga yung org namin. Dati nagpa-quiz show kami sa SM Marilao, akala ko hindi na siya masusundan.

The applicants of our org had a presentation. A play about Niko the...something. Ok na sana yung presentation kung hindi lang sa crappy sounds (3 microphones lang kasi ang gamit nila. Tapos hindi nila pwede hawakan yung mic kasi diyahe.) Overall, maganda yung presentation, natuwa naman (yata) ang mga bata na andun. Pero natakot sila kay Bebang na manananggal na part ng play.

I forgot. Bigla nga palang dumating yung mom, dad at mga pamangkin ko bago magsimula yung program. Nakakashock. Family support sa event ng org namin? Galing!

After the event, nagpulasan na ang mga apps para magpa-sig sa mga members. At dahil hindi ako masyadong tumatambay sa org namin, in demand ako at dinumog na parang artista na gustong hingian ng autograph. Feeling artista na dapat ako ng may nag-approach sa akin at nagtanong..."Alumni po kayo?"

Grabe, hindi ko alam kung magagalit o matatawa ako. Pero I laughed pa rin (kahit na deep inside...) O well, malaki naman akong tao, pero yung face hindi. Kaya naiinis pa rin ako. Hindi ko makakalimutan yung girl na yon. Pero at least nakilala ko siya kagad.

Then, we had our lunch sa KFC. Libre ng Globe. Chicken, rice, mashed potatoes, at softdrinks. Ok na, libre naman eh. Remember Bebang the manananggal? Hindi pa siya nagpapalit ng costume! At nakakatawa yung mga reactions na nakatitig sa kanya behind the glass walls na parang nakita nila si Ursula sa loob ng isang malaking aquarium.

After lunch, some of the applicants decide to watch Sukob. Napanood ko na eh, kaya hindi na ako sumama. So umuwi na lang kami. I left Bulacan at around 6PM at lumuwas papuntang Kamuning. 50 minutes lang ang biyahe thanks to the new NLEX and I made a one man vigil sa harap ng TV para sa telecast ng Philippine Idol.

Many things are in store for me this week. Exams, reports, and others. I think I wont be updating my blog soon...

My new blog
