OK Lang Ako

2012-01-17T14:59:00.003+08:00

Ayoko nang malaman pa
Kung sino siya at kung saan ka nag punta
Hindi na lang tatanungin
Para hindi mo na kailangan pang umamin
Ok lang ako, ok lang ako

-Chorus
Lahat ay aking gagawin,
Pikit matang tatangapin,
Mas kayang masaktan paminsan minsan
Wag ka lamang mawala ng tuluyan

Maniniwala na lang ako,
Sa lahat ng sasabihin mo,
Di na kita kukulitin,
Para di na kailangan pang mag sinungaling,
Ok lang ako, ok lang ako

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Hindi ko kakayanin
Mawala ka sa akin
Kahit na mag mukha akong tanga
Sa mata ng iba!

Lahat ay aking gagawin,
Pikit matang tatangapin,
Kung meron mag tanong tungkol sa akin
Sabihin mo ok lang ako, ok lang ako.

-- OK Lang Ako, Parokya Ni Edgar

LG C375

2011-12-26T10:26:00.003+08:00

My requirements for a new phone is plain and simple:

1. Dual Sim
2. Threaded sms
3. NOT a touch-screen

But it is not very common as of the moment.

I was comparing Alcatel 806, Samsung Ch@t 222, and LG C375.

Samsung is only 2,750.
LG C375 is 4,299.
Alcatel 806 is uhm... well... we cannot find an Alcatel dealer from Greenbelt to Glorietta (thus, its early boot off).

I chose LG because it has bonus features that I also liked:
1. Wi-fi
2. Push email
3. has SNS feature (Facebook, Twitter, etc)
4. Camera of 2MP.

Ok na sakin yun. I've never been this happy with a cellphone purchase. I have everything that i needed. Plus, it's so easy to manipulate. Yahoo. The search is over ;)

36. When people diss her, stand up for her.
37. Look deep into her eyes and tell her you love her.

39. When walking next to each other grab her hand.
40. When you hug her, hold her in your arms as long as possible.

Tamang Sagot

2011-09-07T23:33:00.005+08:00

nainterbyu ka na ba?

naranasan mo naman na siguro yun. madalas, nabablangko ang isip sa ganyan. mala-wynona ryder expression nung tinanong sya sa movie na Reality Bites kung ano ang definition ng 'ironic'. nagkanda-utal utal sya. which is actually ironic dahil matalino sya dun (ewan ko lang sa totoong buhay).

sa interbyu, minsan confident ka. alam mo kung ano ang tinutukoy nya. you're on the same page. pag-uwi mo, sure ka na tatawagan at oofferan ka na.

pano kung ang mga tanong, hindi mo masagot. ita-try mo ba lumusot? magpapanggap na medyo alam mo, pero basic lang kuno. dyahe naman kasi aminin na... "i don't understand the question and even if i do, i don't think i know the answer."

sige nga. ano ang isasagot mo kung tinanong ka na

"how was the Banaue Rice Terraces built: from top to bottom or bottom to top?"
"how tall (in feet) do you think this building is?"
"how many drops of water is there in the Pacific Ocean?"

hint: totoong tinanong sakin yan ng interviewer (pambihirang interbyu yan!)

eto mas mahirap na tanong

"umutot ka ba?"
"me pera ka?"
"bakit mga kapatid mo maganda?...."
"namimiss mo ba ako?"
"san tayo titira?"
"mahal mo ba ako?" (tas sasagutin ka ng "ayoko ng mga ganyang tanong"...patay tayo dyan!)

pag-iisipan mo pa ba ang isasagot dyan? sasagutin mo ba? imamaskara mo? automatic yan, dapat alam mo ang sagot. dahil minsan, hindi na dapat isipin kung ano ang kahihinatnan ng sinabi mo. ang mahalaga, nasabi mo kung ano yung unang pumasok sa isip mo (na madalas naman, eh yun yung totoo). kasi gaya nga ng sabi sa My Bestfriend's Wedding, minsan... "the moment just passes you by". you had your chance pero dahil pinag-isipan mo ng husto ang isasagot, napaglipasan na. wala na yung momentum. wala na yung nagtatanong. therefore, wala ng makikinig sa isasagot mo (sayang, pinaghandaan mo pa naman ng husto).

May mga klase ng relasyon na umpisa pa lang, alam mo nang.... eto na.
Eto na yung iniintay mong dumating. yung madalas napapanood mo lang. di ka makapaniwala na nangyayari na sayo. pakiramdam mo, ikaw na ikaw ang bida. wala ng makakapigil. happy ending ang storya.

Me mga klase ng relasyon na... umpisa pa lang drama na.
Parang puro laging problema. Katatapos pa lang ng twist, me panibagong kontrabida na naman. Sanay kang laging may "sana". Di bale. Ang motto mo naman "This too shall pass".

Me mga klase ng relasyon na... parang kabute.
Di mo alam, nagsimula na. Di mo naman kasi hinanap. Di mo rin pinlano. Napansin mo na lang bigla, nasa relasyon ka na. Nagpapaalam at pinapaalam ang mga bagay-bagay. Nagtataka ka dahil di ka naman ganyan dati. Pero sa kanya, parang natural na natural lang. Walang effort, seamless at in-sync agad.

Me mga klase ng relasyon na... alam mong di magtatagal.
Pero pinasok mo pa rin. Kasi gusto mo sya talaga. Di bale ng me expiry date kayo. Sabi mo nga, "while it last". Patibayan ng loob. Ang unang sumuko, talo.

Me mga klase ng relasyon na... nakabitin lang.
Either ikaw or sya ang hindi pa seryoso. Isa sa inyo, hindi pa sigurado. May hinihintay pa or may tinatapos pa. Kaya ang palaging tanong ng isa "Shall i stay or shall i go?"

Me mga klase ng relasyon na... tapos na pala.
Wala ng maibubuga. Hanggang dun na lang talaga ang shelf life. Ayaw mo pa sana magpaalam pero... para saan pa? Ikaw na lang mag-isa ang natira. Di mo ba nahalata?

Me mga klase ng relasyon na... sa hirap at ginhawa.
Problema ba kamo? Yakang-yaka yan. Parang chopstick ang tingin mo sa inyong dalawa. Pag mag-isa, walang nagagawa. Pero pag magkasama, unbeatable talaga.

Me mga klase ng relasyon na... ikaw ang kontrabida.
Masaya na sana sila, pero humahadlang ka pa. Pilit mo ginigitna ang sarili mo. Kulang ka kasi sa pansin mula pagkabata. Di ka sanay na maligaya ang iba kahit wala ka sa litrato. Ang alibi mo, "Di naman sa nanghihimasok ako... pero tama ako di ba?"

Me mga klase ng relasyon na... OPM (On Pag Magkasama).

Me mga klase ng relasyon na... hinulma sa bula.
Maganda lang tignan pero madaling nawawala. Hindi maikahon. Hindi maitago. Mahipan lang ng hangin, puputok na agad. Walang bakas na maiiwan.

Minsan naman, "buti na lang..."

Pero ang puno't dulo don, ikaw lang naman yung umasa/umaasa.
Ang saklap, di ba?

BOOK SALE talaga

2011-04-12T13:03:00.013+08:00

I've always been fascinated by Book Sale, the shop that sells used and brand new books. It started when I was pregnant and hoarded all the pregnancy books I could get. Imagine how much it would cost if I buy them at National Bookstore. Probably worth at least the cheapest microwave oven (hanep sa comparison haha).

Now that I have a tot, activity and board books naman ang tinatarget ko. This is when I rediscover the magic of Book Sale. I found items that are between 60-180 pesos. Most of them still have tags from US. No, i don't buy books that are damaged or have writings on them. Syempre iba pa rin ang feeling na ikaw yung first owner. Kahit pa medyo luma yung unit because it was stocked somewhere and left to dust.

Here's my greatest find for Jana so far:

Kailangan na lagyan ng bookend. Sa 2nd floor lang to. Dito sya kumukuha ng books pag matutulog na. Sa sala nakalagay yung mga activity books nya.

Handy Manny (95)
Counting Kisses (130)

I Can Chalk Wipe and Clean (140)

Sesame Street Interactive
Cars Interactive
(nakalimutan ko price, 190 ata)

Wipe Off Book

I Love You Through and Through (120)
Mommy Hugs (95)

Five Little Monkeys (65)
Mr. Brown Can Moo (60)

Guess How Much I Love You (120)
Dr Seuss Are You My Mother (120)

Waaaaa. I'm so happy with the Dr. Seuss books.

My favorite Books Sale branches are SM Sucat and Mall of Asia. Sa Sucat kasi parang walang masyadong pumupunta so madaming activity books, walang pumapansin bwahahaha. Sa MOA naman, laging me bagong items.

Now i'm actually considering deleting this post. Baka dumami na kaagaw ko waaaaa.

Woohoo! Ang sarap maglaro sa TIMEZONE mula ng matuklasan namin 'tong sundot-game na 'to. 16 pesos lang me relo ka na!

This is how I decide if I'll wear HEELS today

2011-02-01T14:01:00.002+08:00

paglaki ni Pompy, tuturuan ko rin ng basic workflow chart para mai-apply nya sa mga importanteng bagay tulad ng pagsuot ng HEELS. :))

A Letter to my Current

2011-01-12T22:17:00.004+08:00

Dear bayabas,

If you were my ex, and you came to me, I would've been of use to you in an instant. You wouldn't need to wait (wait, of course you would!) But i wont take much of your time. You will have my reply asap. You will have the result that you want in an instant.

But you are not my ex. You are my current. And I say that with an effort to cheer myself.

I want to take time to know you. You seem so complicated but fun. Low maintenance but high risk.

Please don't make this so hard for me. Don't send me running off. Let's make this relationship beneficial and enjoyable. Pwede naman yun di ba? We'll take care of each other. I'd give you as much, if not more, than what I've given my ex.

Just let me hold on to you. Don't let me go.

Your new caretaker,
man1

It's colorful and playful.
Just like my life nowadays.

Let me know what you think.

And I may be writing some nonsense again (kasi somebody said na i-update ko na 'to LOL).

Tignan natin.
Mahirap magsulat ng pilit. Korni lalabas.

Tsaka mahirap naman i-share ang mga bagay-bagay kung mas gusto mo naman na sarilinin na lang.

Tutal ikaw lang ang nakakaalala (parang playback ba). Gasgas na memorya. Pero masaya ka. Naks :)

250 full body massage / hour

It's been a hard day. You need this!

24-hour fast food/delivery

Pinoys love to munch. And in some days, if you're like me, you'll have the sudden urge to drive around and have a donut or ice cream around 11pm. Or pizza at 2am.

We have slowly implemented online ordering and centralized phone ordering on most of the fast foods here. Ahh. Food to be delivered anytime, anywhere. That is some sort of heaven.

You beach!

I love beach! Who doesn't?

Seafood.

Galit-galit muna. I love halaan, baked tahong, calamares, daing na bangus, chili crab, prinitong galunggong. Bumili ka ng isang pirasong isda sa ibang bansa. Tsaka mo maa-appreciate ang palengke :)

Weather-Weather lang yan.

It's getting got in here. Pero ok na yung temperature natin na nagri-range between 16-36 degrees. I've been in a country that has below zero degrees pag taglamig and pumapalo ng 40 degrees pag tag-init. Goodluck with that extremities.You'll only appreciate what you have if you can see what your neighbors are having on the other side of the fence.

Bazaar. Sale. Expo.

Wala akong paki kahit di signatured yung gamit ko.Basta kumportable.
250 for a pair of shoes. 50 pesos for a pair of shorts. 50 pesos na payong. 10 pesos na wallet. Halukay-ube na.

Teka, uwian na pala. Bukas ko na lang dudugtungan ito :)

Wag na Magmarunong

Today, Filipinos get to exercise their "freedom of speech" and "everybody-is-entitled-to-his-own-opinion" dialogue on 2 subjects: hostage and Miss Universe.

Palpak daw ang SWAT.
Palpak ang sagot.

Sana ganito.

"Baka kinabahan...
Di nag-iisip..."

Andami na naman umaalingawngaw na mga opinyon. O sige na, mas magaling na kayo :))

Personally, ako nagpasalamat na lang ke Lord na habang nangyayare yung nangyayare sa bus e safe ang mga mahal ko sa buhay.

Nakakatawa lang. Dun sa mga nagtatanong, bakit wala si Noynoy sa site kagabi. Haller? Plano nyo pang gawing negotiator ang Pangulo?!

Tsaka nga pala salamat na rin ke Ms. Philippines kasi 4th place is still 4th place. Karangalan pa rin yun.

Give yourself a gift

2010-08-24T14:55:00.006+08:00

Di ba sabi nila, give yourself a little gift every payday?
I've been doing that for as long as I can remember.
Pampalubag loob.
For this month, eto nga pala napamili ko:

white blouse - 100
white eyelet shorts - 50

2 pairs of flats - 250 each

Baby Proof - 239
Diary of Wimpy Kid (book 1-4) - 239 each

Kinoconvince ko sarili ko na NOT BAD.

Har har.
(Sana ganito ulit next month)

Ikaw, ano binili mo sa sarili mo last payday??

Confessions of an Unwanted

2010-06-16T16:21:00.007+08:00

Nakakadepress pala pag nalaman mo na likeable ka. Na people find you great, positive, appealing, etc.

Nakakadepress kasi napapaisip ka. Natatanong mo sarili mo na kung likeable ka, bat di ka magustuhan nung gusto mo (as if naman masasagot ka ng sarili mo. wala ka naman lakas ng loob itanong sa iba yung tanong mo. Kaya nga eto, muka kang engot. Kinakausap mo sarili mo).

"I got the message long before you said you knew
There was no chance of us at all"

So hindi ka naman pala panget. Di ka naman pala loser. Bat ayaw ka nya? Hmm, sige masyado naman negative ang salitang "ayaw". Di ka lang nya type.

"You said we were an accident
With accidents you’ll never know what could have been"

Nakakabadtrip di ba? Nakakawalang gana. Parang gusto mo maglupasay minsan o kaya magmaktol para mapansin ka nya. Kaso ingat ka din kasi baka lalo ka di magustuhan. Sows. Di ka na nga gusto eversince, mag-nenegative pogi/ganda points pa. Bokya lalo. Zero. Olats.

"Without the reign of terror over every momentary change
We are exactly as before"

Buti sana kung me nagugustuhan kang iba e. Kaso wala. Kaya di mo makalimutan na unwanted ka nung ginugusto mo. Ang masaklap pa, magkaibigan naman kayo. So like ka rin nya. Magkaibang level nga lang. Ang taraaaay! Nag-level up ka kasi. Di mo na-maintain yung minimum level required. Nag-upgrade ka. Nakita mo yung possibility. Sya hinde. Bwahahaha. Kung ano ano kasi pumapasok sa imahinasyon mo.

"We could have been (We could have been again)
Instead of accidental running always running (why can’t you believe)"

Haller. Kasali ba sa sya sa upgrade package mo? Hinde naman di ba? Kaya ganyan. Napapaisip ka kung bat di ka nya magustuhan kasi ikaw, gusto mo na sya. As you were. Gustong gusto mo na sya. Pero di mo masabi sa kanya.

Medyo low blow na kasi kung di mo pa natanggap na unwanted ka na. Nag-try ka pa rin tas nareject ka. *fucktheduck*

Andami nagrereklamo sa election result

2010-05-12T10:46:00.005+08:00

Unang tanong, bumoto ba kayo?

Kasi kung hindi, wag na magreklamo sa result. Hindi naman kayo yung pumila at halos mahimatay sa putok ng katabi nyo.

You may be out, too busy, too lazy, too smart to go out and vote last May 10. That is your fault. Let's hear all your lame excuses.

Only us who were "tatanga-tanga" or "worthless" or "binayaran" were too eager to line up and hope to have our votes counted. You say we're hopeless... eh asan kayo? You have the best candidate in your mind? Then why the fuck did you not vote?

You passed up on the opportunity to be counted, you lose your right to be heard.

ps: talo din manok ko, kaya naisip ko sana bumoto kayo para yung gusto natin ang nanalo.

Kahapon, naaatat ako bumili ng sapatos. Treat ko sa sarili ko dahil

a. dumating na yung retro ng sweldo namin
b. inggit ako kina En at Jana dahil me Crocs sila ako wala (di ko kasi alam size ko sa Crocs)
c. tagal ko na hindi bumibili ng sapatos
d. last kong sapatos nag-kakahalaga ng 250php lang hehe

Kaya naman busy ako kahapon kaka-check ng pwedeng maorder sa

a. VNC - http://vncphil.multiply.com
b. Schu - http://schushop.multiply.com
c. Charles & Keith - www.charleskeith.com

Dahil 20 hrs or more bago ko mapagdesisyunan bilhin ang mga napili ko, i found myself sa SM Makati.

Wooooow. Andaming choices hahaha.

Ayos naman nabili ko di ba? 399php lang yan ;)

Nakalimutan ko na maraming magaganda at murang sapatos ang gawa sa Pinas. Kung di lang ako mag-iinarte at magsusumiksik sa mga branded at imported na tatak.

ps: balik kaya ako sa SM mamaya... andami ko pa nalaktawan don eh. Help me magpigil...

2010-03-02T11:16:00.004+08:00

Sobrang saya ko sa pagiging nanay kaya di ko na naa-update tong personal blog ko. Pero marami rami na akong naiisip isulat. Teka, umpisahan ko na...

O-o-O-O-o-O

Yung unang yaya ni Pompy, babalik daw sa amin. Pero pagkatapos na ng eleksyon. Sabi ko, bakit boboto ka pa? Same-same lang naman ng result yan (kala ko naman excited sya dahil high tech na tayo this time). Reply nya, madami kasi pera ate pag botohan. Lahat ng kandidato nagbibigay. Nakngbawang! Ganon ba yon?? (bat ako walang natatanggap?) O sa probinsya lang yun?

O-o-O-O-o-O

Pag naaalala ko si GMA, napapailing ako. Andami na attempts para matanggal sya sa pwesto. Buhay na buhay pa rin. Malalim ang ugat. Matibay ang kapit (matigas ang mukha). Mas nakaka-amaze alalahanin na zero vote si FPJ sa Sto. Tomas Pangasinan nung May 14, 2004. Ang galing!!

O-o-O-O-o-O

Mas magaling yung sa Ampatuan Massacre (for the lack of word to use). Naisip nila yon? Patayin lahat ng nasa daraanan nila (literally speaking), even if it means killing all 60 people. Babae, lalake, payat, mataba, matanda, bata, me sipon o wala, kalbo o me uban, me anghit o wala. Lahat. Patay. At sige, ibaon natin lahat. Pati sasakyan (naisip pa nila yun?). Wow (sobrang speechless ako, hindi sapat lahat ng masasamang salita kaya WOW na lang). Anong petsa na? Di ba pwede patayin na lang din yung mga accused para eye for an eye?

O-o-O-O-o-O

On the lighter side, madalas ko naiisip na sayang talaga ang mga panahong pinalipas ko. Malapit na ako mag-31. Isa pa lang anak ko (at bubwit pa sya). Sana (sana sana ) mga 23 or 24 ako nagkaron ng panganay. At least by the age of 40+, nakapag pagraduate na ako, mellow down, titira sa beach, etc. Pero ngayon, i see myself na 50 yrs old na, nagpapaaral pa. Ang saklap! Unless manalo sa lotto or makapagtayo ng business (na ewan kung me future ba ako dyan).

Preparasyon. Yan ang ginawa ko while I was in my 20s. Wrong move talaga.

O-o-O-O-o-O

Sa mga nag-aabroad (at iniiwan ang pamilya sa Pinas) para makaipon ng mas malaki-laki, naglalakas-loob at nakikipag-sapalaran... "i feel you dawg". Wag lang kakalimutan (araw araw sabihin sa sarili ito, or ilagay sa post it para mabasa lagi), na pamilya ang dahilan ng pagsasakripisyo mo. Wag mo kalimutan ha. May PAMILYA kang naghihintay sayo. Baka mawala sa isip mo kahit panandalian lang, mabalewala yung main purpose mo kung bat ka nagsasakripisyo. At kung saka-sakaling nakalimutan mo na nga, tarantado ka. Umuwi ka na lang kesa magtuloy-tuloy pang-gagago mo dyan (manalangin na lang na may uuwian ka pa).

2009-12-02T11:44:00.015+08:00

Mga 2 months before the showing, nakareserve na yung ticket ko. I was excited to watch the sequel of Twilight. I was not a fan of the first movie. But I was interested to see the 2nd installment. I even applied for a half-day leave when this movie opened up in theaters. Nakipila ako sa first day....

Then it all went down the drain.

* nananampal na pala si Bella?

* parang kinawawa naman si Jasper. Ang panget ng wig nya.

* si rosalie den pumanget

*kala ko vampire di nagbabago ng itsura. Bat parang tumanda itsura ni edward. parang pumayat pa. labas yung ugat sa noo.

* si jacob parang iisa lang lagi ang expression. antaas kasi ng expectation sa artistang 'to. yung character nya ewan ko kung na-justify nya.

* bat naging bloody red lips si edward?

* bakit nagkaron ng eksenang ganito?

* nagtawanan sa sinehan. sumobrang cheesy.

Ok, seryus muna baka ipako ako sa krus ng mga twi-hard fans.

Me mga scenes na hindi na-justify kasi kapos sa execution. I know mahirap i-squeeze yung book sa dalawang oras na movie. Pero yun nga, andaming important part sa book ang di nasali.

Sample?

1. Mga 2 days munang cold si Edward ke Bella bago nya brineyk. Importante makita to. Kasi sa 2 days na yun, walang idea si Bella. She was always thinking na magiging ok din si Edward. Tas si Edward, cold talaga. Heartbreaking yun.

2. Before Edward left, he took out things that would remind Bella of him. Yung cd, yung picures. Which Bella new in an instant na nawala nga. Though me maikling scene na hawak ni Edward yung pic, ano ba gusto palabasin don? walang followup na eksena. parang ok lang na tanggalin yung eksenang yun. di naman magegets ng mga di nakabasa ng libro yun haha.

3. Di naman useless si Bella nung nawala si Edward. Actually sabi ni Charlie, she was trying too hard that it hurts. A sya sa classes. Me work din sya.

4. Wala yung part na si Edward naman yung willing to beg just to prove to Bella na he's made the wrong decision. Nagusap kasi sila sa Italy nung sinisave sya ni Bella tas yun na ata yun. Sa book, madami sila napagusapan sa plane. Ayaw pa matulog ni Bella. Payback time. All along, puro suffering ni Bella ang napanood natin. Asan yung side ni Edward?

5. Pang Sampaguita Picture naman yung mga linya ni Jacob na hanging tipong "Bella....."

6. Si Kristen lang ata ang nagdala ng movie (acting-wise) at nilaglag sya ng 2 leading men nya... ayayay.

Super 8: Cute Christmas Decors

2009-12-02T11:04:00.006+08:00

Ok, sino makakahula ng price ng mga to?

Sige na nga, 10 pesos lang po karamihan dyan. Tas yung raindeer ang pinakamahal, 45 pesos. Bumili din kami ng xmas tree (2 feet, placed above the ref) para di maabot ni Pompy. 40 pesos lang din, hindi yung plastic ha! Kahoy yung stand nya. 3 pretty big blue balls for just 70++php at sosy na tignan yung xmas tree.

Nakakaadik talaga mag Super 8. Arghhhh.

ps: sobrang newbie yung shots. pano kasi hinihila ni pompy yung shorts ko nyan. bastos na bata. gusto nya kasi paglaruan yung camera....

Something in her eyes

2009-11-25T09:42:00.006+08:00

Being in Ayala Avenue every day, my eyes can't miss this picture of Ms Claire Dela Fuente. It is at the back of every bus.

Which makes me think, when I grow older (sabi nga ng pinsan ko, "10 yrs na lang, kuwarenta ka na!") would i want to look like her? I mean ayan, maayos, sexy, alluring, misty-eyed, lips half-closed, plunging neckline, etc. Ilang taon na ba sya?

Ako, I want to age gracefully. I probably would just want to be on the side line. Not needing (much) attention. No need for fancy clothes and makeup just to make me feel good about myself.

Well, that's just for now. Will wait for few more years and then we'll see ;-)

High sa Hiskul

2009-09-24T17:02:00.005+08:00

Di ko na malaman kung kelan pa ako outdated sa mundo. Di ko na alam kung ano ang palabas sa sine, kung sino ang mag-jowa sa tv. Ewan. Ma at Pa.

Pero lately, nagugulantang ako. Me mga nalalaman ako galing sa mga kabataan na nakaka... hmm... what's the word... disturb.

Kelan pa naging ok na magtawagan ng "asawa ko" ang mga hiskul magjowa?
Kelan pa naging ok ipost sa prenster ang mga pictures na naghahalikan?

Ibig ba sabihin, di na talaga uso ang "maghintay" bago ikasal.
Ni hindi na nga ata uso ang "maghintay" bago mag-debut.

Naghihintay man lang ba makagraduate ng hiskul bago gawin yun?
Wtf.

Me pambili man lang ba kayo ng diaper kung maka-jackpot kayo? Aasa na naman sa magulang.

(Leche, hayok na hayok sa laman. Di naman kayang panindigan...)

Naha-highblood ako. Ang lalandi nyo.

McDo Happy Meal: Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary

2009-08-27T18:12:00.015+08:00

36 toys to collect

4 Kitty picture gallery
5 Time-out Kitty
4 Action Kitty
4 Kitty with Surprise Pop-up
5 Travelling Kitty
5 Kitty Fashion Ring
4 Kitty Mirror
5 Kitty with Light Surprise

2009 is the only toy that comes with this shiny red apple case.
It is, by far, the hardest one to find (at least here in Makati area).

1991 and 1999
Pompy likes to play with this at night, when we turn off the lights.

1989 and 2003
Ako ang me gusto ng Kitty dito, while Pompy plays with the pop-ups inside the apple.

1987
One time, when Pompy opened and saw her reflection on the mirror, she laughed. Weirdo.

1998
A Kitty collector advised me not to buy the ring series.
Anyhoo, whenever I wear this ring, Pompy would take it out of my finger and eat it.
At least I found out that it's appealing to my target audience =D

1993
Kitty doesn't want to go back to her seat. She's cramped.
That's what you get when you fly in economy.

Incidentally, i just figured that Mcdo Toys are just 13php. Not bad. Kala ko plus 20++ ang toys sa meal :)

FYI sa interested, limited toys lang ang available pag drive thru (service hazard daw kasi). So kung talagang magcocollect ka, park your car and go inside ;) Yihiiiii. Balitaan nyo na lang ako kung ilan na nabili nyo (ako yata magtat@e na kakakain sa Mcdo).

Two Kinds of Men

2009-08-10T10:32:00.005+08:00

Listening to my girlfriends wails and rundowns of how their husbands or boyfriends would top the Ultimate Men's Losers Club, i am more and more convinced that

1. men are lower form of specie.
2. men needs instruction manuals. women writes them.

recently, i can also safely conclude that there are 2 basic type of men
a. the financer
b. the domesticated

the financer. most girls would settle with this type of men. smart girls search for them. you seldom see them get down and dirty. these guys invented Erap's motto: money makes the world go round. flat tire? no problem. leaking faucets? no problem. no more ice? no problem. one limitation though: cash on atm dispenser.

the domesticated: the remaining few of their origin, smarter girls prefer them. they'd haggle with you sa palengke, frown or get angry when you buy them expensive gifts, retaliates that with that price, he could buy "more sensible items" needed, befriends Mr. Muscle, always has extra fuse somewhere, keeps Bulldog or Mighty bond around, puts oil on your squeaky doors. limitation: cash on atm dispenser.

if your guy is a combo, buy him a helmet sister! they come mediumly rare.

if you're getting married, recheck if your groom is a man and to which type does he fall in. DO NOT IGNORE THIS. after 'convincing' yourself, ask yourself if you really want to be stuck forever with that type of man.

if you're a guy and a homo, you're excused. you may create your own type.

if you're a guy and straight, don't try to justify your kind. Girls have 2 types too: flat chested and pamela anderson.

Mcdo Inquiry

2009-07-21T14:59:00.004+08:00

Kahapon, nagiinquire ako sa Mcdo Macapagal regarding birthday packages. We had so much fun last year @ Piyeyi's 1st bday so i thought we could redo the party for Pompy, same place and same host sana. Kaso ang problema.. nakalimutan ko na name nung nag-host. Isa lang ang clue... bakla sya.

So pano ba hahanapin yun? I called the branch.

me : pwede ba malaman kung andyan pa yung isa nyong party coordinator?
crew : sino po mam? si A?
me : ay hinde
crew : si B?
me : hindi ko matandaan e.. basta ano... yung lalake na......
(hmm pano ba sasabihin 'to ng di nakakaffend) .... hindi masyadong lalake?
crew : in other words bading po? andito pa po sya.

LOL. So much for subtleties.

Nakakahiya Ka!

2009-06-22T14:29:00.008+08:00

2 consecutive days na akong napapatabi sa sipuning nilalang sa shuttle. Magkaibang tao eto. Pero, umagang-umaga singhot ng singhot. Naiimagine nyo ba na tahimik sa shuttle, tas singhot lang nya ang naririnig ng lahat?

Etiquette lang naman yun di ba? Ang gaganda nyo pa naman, japorms. Sosyal sa pang-opis attire. Tas tulo sipon? Uhugin? Batang onse?

MAHIYA KA NAMAN.

5 pesos lang tissue sa public cr. O di kaya magbaon ka ng panyo.

Sa panahon ngayon, hindi lahat tayo afford magkasakit. Maawa ka naman sa mahahawa sayo =(

Trip to old Uniwide Warehouse Club

2009-06-22T11:27:00.021+08:00

Out of desperation for cheap Roman Blinds, I had a date with my mom who's been a fan of Uniwide Warehouse Club(Or Uniwide Sales, now known as Super 8) for as long as I can remember. So eto na... Roman blinds that costs 200++php used in the Orange room (master's bedroom).

Pwede na di ba? Mahangin at... di na kami nasisilip ng kabilang bahay bwehehe.

Also used in our kitchen... harhar. Anlaking tipid. Nagtanong ako nito sa OurHome, nasa 2500 each. Sa SM naman, nasa 1400. utang na loob!

Toothpaste holder for 12php. I was so glad because this one has a hole in the bottom. Para di maipon yung tubig. Just what I was looking for :)

Food tray for 69php. I dont know why i bought this, i just love its color and playfulness. I'll probably put my abubots here (ring, watch, etc) then put it in the drawer for easy access pero at least seggregated sa iba pang kalat.

12php for the red tray and 40++php for each balls. So this kaartehan is just 99php. Nagkukunyari lang ako na me alam sa art-art.

Woven placemat that costs 250++ sa Landmark at SM? I bought it at 45php each :P

Oh, the kid... she's misplaced during the picture-taking... definitely not for sale =D

Weird Ba?

2009-06-04T13:37:00.007+08:00

Ayoko ng sebuyas.

Tinatanggal ko yan pag kumakain ako ng cheeseburger ng Mcdo. Tinatanggal ko rin yan pag bistek ang ulam.

Ayoko sa kanya kasi matunog pag nginunguya. Parang kropek (pero mas mahina.) Tapos, di ba mabaho din daw sa hininga?

Ilayo nyo ako sa sebuyas!

Pero oo, mahilig ako sa onion rings.

Weird ba?

Video or No Video

2009-06-02T16:06:00.005+08:00

My overall sympathy still goes to Katrina (amidst the pagka-OA). She said she felt like she was raped in the video (I wonder which part). Then again, I agree that she's being raped over and over again when someone is watching her scandal.

Makuhanan ka nga lang ng lasing sa party at mapanood mo yun kinabukasan, nakakahiya na e (bwahahaha. memories from the corner of my mind). Makita ka pa kayang hubo't hubad. At umuungol. At nilalamutak yung...

I've heard from 2 separate interviews (and 2 different persons) what seems to be the moral of the story: Stay away sa mga may gf/asawa na. At sabi naman ng isang journalist, BEHAVE. If you can't behave, be DISCREET. Lolz. Oo nga naman.

I wonder, pano kung ikaw yung taken at hinahabol ka ng taong single (like someone i know). Naks, ang haba ng hair huh?

By the way, papayag ka ba i-"video"?

FYI: Desitin Cream

2009-04-02T11:10:00.008+08:00

warning: para sa mga may baby lang (hindi yung nagbebeybi-beybihan)

A lot of mothers are stressed out, trying to look for Desitin Cream in drugstores and supermarket. Well, I still have 3 tubes at home, simultaenously being used by Pompy (depending on where she hits the need to change her diaper). But I jump at the bandwagon and joined the panic-stricken moms harassing every Mercury Drug and Watson's in manila area. Out of stock talaga!

Checking the packaging, Desitin Cream was imported by Pfizer in Makati. 2 buildings away from where I work. Ayus. Maybe they have stock at the office (maybe some employees still wear diapers, or have rashes, whatever... but I'm hoping they keep some desitin at their office). Tawagan ko muna. Sabi ng sales representative na nakausap ko, "Dati po Pfizer ang nag-iimport. Johnson & Johnson na po ngayon."

Oh no.

Google ulit. Ayoko maniwala. Ang Johnson & Johnson ba talagang nasa Paranaque? Maybe a stone throw away from where I live? Hehe OA naman. Pero di nga, kala ko ba palayan lang ang Paranaque???

Calling J&J... Manong guard ata ang sumagot. Trinansfer ako. This lady told me that yes, J&J is now importing Desitin from US. And it's out of stock because they stopped importing. Test is ongoing to further enhance(?) the product. The good news is, by May it will be available in the local market already. Promise daw.

That's just what I needed to know. Alleluia.

ps: I just realized I can be a hell of a stalker when i want to. behave, be aware and beware.

LTO Experience

2009-03-13T17:20:00.006+08:00

Maaga ako sa LTO kanina. 8:30am. Rerenew ko kasi lisensya ko. Friday the 13th pero I'm feeling great. Feeling great my foot! Pagdating sa LTO Pque, OFFLINE NATIONWIDE. Anong offline? Anong nationwide? Parang pa-raffle ng Eat Bulaga ba yan?!

Pa-medical na lang muna ako. Di naman siguro kelangan online dun ano? 400 daw. 300 Drug Test, 100 Medical Test. Anong kalokohan ba yan. Pano naman yung walang 400 pesoses? Buti nangutang ako sa nanay ko ng 500 kasi duda ako na kapos ang 450 sa bulsa ko.

Balik sa Window 1. Syet. Offline pa rin. Mainit na. Mainit na rin ulo ng mga tao. Dumadami na ang makukulit.

"Magkano pa-renew?"
"Magkano Student Permit?"

Mga bwisit kayo. Naka-display na nga sa window. Dalawa pa. Para siguro sa left eye tsaka sa right eye. Kung isa na lang mata mo, wala ka pa ring lusot. Bulag lang ang me karapatang magtanong.

"Magkano Penalty?"

Di na ako nakatiis.

"AYAN NAKA-POST NA SA SALAMIN O! Magbasa kasi...." Tinginan lahat sakin. O baket? Sino ba hindi nagbabasa? Para kayong mga bubuyog dyan, paulit ulit ng tanong e nasa harap nyo na yung sagot sa tanong nyo... Nagsi-alisan. Buti walang nag-angas kundi patay ako. Baka me nangfa-flat na pala ng gulong ng sasakyan ko....

Sa awa ng Diyos, hindi naman.

Me tanong na naman...

"Mag-eexpire na lisensya ko sa sabado. Kung di ako makarenew ngayon (dahil offline), magbabayad ba ako ng penalty sa lunes?"

"Opo. Expire na kasi lisensya nyo sa lunes."

"E bat ganon? Di ko naman kasalanan na Offline kayo ngayon."

"E kasi po me 2 months kayo para irenew yan. Di nyo agad nirenew."

Nagpasalamat at umalis na yung nagtanong. Sumabat ako.

"Eh kaya nga ON or BEFORE birthday e." Dapat sinabi nyo before birthday na lang para walang magpaparenew ng saktong birthday. Naisip ko lang yon. Ang naidugtong ko "Eh kung gusto nyo pala ng extra income, sasabihin nyo lang lagi OFFLINE. Para lahat ng mageexpire ngayon, magbabayad ng penalty kinabukasan?"

Tinginan lahat. Hehehe. Umalis yung mga nasa Window 1. Nagmeryenda na lang ata. Sanay na siguro sila.

Opps ONLINE na. Paunahan na sa Window 1. Aba aba aba.

"Me PILA o!!!! Tsaka yung mga walang TIN# , pa-xerox muna kayo."

Harhar. Andami umalis sa pila. Di pala nila alam na kelangan magpakita ng ID na me TIN.

Punta na daw ako Window 8. WALANG TAO. Isa yata sa nagmeryenda. Naghihintay na naman mga tao. LINTEK talaga. Dumating din, me dalang coke at Banana Q.

Bayad na (anong window nga ba yun). Aba, 517.60 daw. Bigay ako 520. Sinuklian ako dalawang piso. Ayos sa style a. Parang understood na. Wala syang 40 cents kaya TY na yon. Makaipon ka ng 40 cents sa bawat nagpaparenew, aba me pamasahe ka na for the day.

Undertime ko nauwi sa Half day. Total processing time, less than 1 hr. Pero dahil nga sa offline at paglakwatsa ng mga empleyado, natapos ako 11am.

PUCHA.

Nabwiset ako pero nakapam-bwiset din naman ako hahaha. Pwede na.

7 tips para maiba naman ang araw mo

2009-02-27T15:21:00.004+08:00

1. Sikmuraan ang unang taong kasalubong at humingi ng sorry.
2. Uminom ng pampatulog labanan ito, magexercise.
3. Tibagin ang bahay gamit ang kutsara at buuin muli.
4. Himatayin kunwari sa daan, tiyaking may tao.
5. Tahiin ang puwet at magpatingin sa doctOR
6. Kurutin ang nakababatang kapatid pagkatapos unahan mong umiyak.
7. Makapagtitigan sa isda. Huwag titigil hanggat hindi ito kumukurap.

Paminsan-minsan, natetempt ako gawin yung #1.
Subukan ko kaya ang #2?
Di ko pwede gawin yung #6, baka kutusan lang ako non (mas malaki sya kesa sa akin).
Pwede sana ung #7, kaso nakakatakot titigan yung isda namin. (alaga nung kapatid ko sa #6).

Salamat sa nakaisip nito...tawa ako ng tawa. Happy Weekend mga repapips! :)

Naalala Ko Lang

2009-02-26T15:27:00.004+08:00

Me crush ako nung college days. Para sakin, pogi sya. Kahit short sa height. Isa lang ang picture nya sakin. Stolen shot sa canteen. Araw-araw nakaipit yun sa libro ko. Binilugan ko pa ng piso yung mukha nya.

After 10 yrs, nakita ko sya ulit...

Para pala syang laging natatae.

Nakakainis pala mag-foodtrip sa Mcdo pag umaga. Pano pag trip na trip mo na mag Large "fries fries" at wala pang 1030am? Hindi pwede. Breakfast meal lang ang sine-serve nila.

Bawal!

2009-02-11T22:02:00.002+08:00

Q: Ano ang gagawin mo kung me feelings ka sa isang tao na hindi naman dapat?
A: Wala, pabayaan mo lang. Mawawala rin yun.

2009-02-11T21:51:00.003+08:00

Q: anong song ang pwedeng makasira ng araw mo pag napakinggan mo umagang-umaga?
A: Power of Love ni Celine Dion.

Q: anong song ang pwedeng makasira ng araw mo pag napakinggan mo bago ka matulog sa gabi?
A: Power of Love ni Celine Dion.

Utang na loob. Coincidence na dalawang araw eto ang pambungad at pang-goodnight song sakin ng mga shuttle na sinasakyan ko papasok at pauwi. Syet, nakakapang-hinga. Patago kong sinasabunutan ang sarili ko ...

Summary of Cheating

2009-01-27T13:51:00.005+08:00

Alam nyo ba kung bat nagtataksil ang isang tao?

In general, dalawa lang ang talagang category nyan.

theory 1: May kulang/hinahanap sa current (legal) partner
Walang time sa'yo. Basagulero. Talakathon.
Babaero. Hindi naglilinis ng paa.
Mabalahibo sa mga parte ng katawan na hindi naman dapat.
Jumejebs sa sink (at hindi sa inidoro)
Namumulot ng tirang yosi at yun ang hinihithit nya.
Hindi nagsesepilyo.
Palaging nagkakamot ng ano nya in public.
Madamot. Kuripot.
Hindi nagpapalit ng underwear.
Nangungulangot habang kumakain (tapos pinipitik kung saan-saan)
Andaming inuutos kung kelan tulog ka (at gabing-gabi na).
Parang sinisilaban pag niyayayang magsimba (e devoted catholic ka).
Parang napo-possess pag me family affair.
Allergic sa usapang walang sigawan.
Umuutot ng malakas at mabaho tuwing nasa elevator kayo.

theory 2: Talagang taksil ka lang.
Minsan naman, kahit walang mali sa partner mo, nangangalunya pa rin. Hahanapan mo pa ng explanation bat nagtataksil? Wala lang. Ganun na talaga sya. Hindi mo na kasalanan yun.

Ano sa palagay mo? Is cheating a product of Cause and Effect? O nasa personality na ng tao yun. Kumbaga nung nabuo yung genes nya, kasali yung trait na yun (like pagiging blue-eyed or kulot or bading).

"i'll keep you my dirty little secret. don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret."

I don't know what it is about this movie.

I don't like the actors. Pogi ba yun? Bat parang....
I didn't enjoy the plot.
I was laughing at the important scenes. People sitting behind me must've thought I'm crazy.
Even the theater seat, I didn't enjoy (too low for small person like me).

But I wanna watch it over and over again.
The dead, pointless romantic inside me lives.

The Lesser Evil

2008-12-02T20:15:00.006+08:00

Habang gising sa madaling araw, naisip ko na tumatanda na nga talaga tayo mga mare. Kasi... bukod sa ang mga topic natin ay hindi na tungkol sa crush 101, eh mas comfortable na tayo sa mga topics na hindi naman natin pinaguusapan dati.

Katulad na lang ng....{opps, censored} .

Ang mga pangarap sa buhay, napalitan ng mga plano for the next 3 months. Short term plans na lang. Di na uso ung mga 5 yr plan ngayon.

Tsaka syempre, mawawala ba sa usapan ang boys. We love to hate them.

Me sobrang taas mangarap. Meron namang walang pangarap.

Me sobrang slow. Me sobrang dense.

Me sobrang insensitive. Me sobrang balat-sibuyas.

Me sobrang kuripot. Me sobrang gastos.

Me adik sa basketbol. Me adik sa computer gadgets. Me adik sa dota. Me adik sa jologs na toiletries. Me adik sa tsismis (chismoso?). Me adik sa babae.

Habang binabasa mo 'to, sinasabi mo siguro "Asawa/boypren ko yan a."

Tas dudugtungan mo ng "Ay hindi sya yan, kasi {insert any defensive statement here}."

For example:
You: "Pinatatamaan ba ako sa blog na 'to? Parang si Jograd yung dinedescribe a." "Hmm, kahit balasubas yun, mabait naman. Im sure hindi sya yung tinutukoy dito."

Wala lang. Kahit naman ano pa ang dahilan kung bat tayo laging highblood sa kanila, ang ending e sa kanila pa rin tayo umuuwi, nag-gugudnayt, naga-aylabyu.

Bakit nga ba?

Eh kasi nga... me good qualities din naman sila that makes up for the bad ones (sure ka ha?). Di nga. Totoo naman di ba.

Me magaling magluto. Me magaling maglambing. Me magaling mag-asikaso. (ang onti naman ng nasulat ko sa positive hehe)

Tsaka isa pa... as if naman perfect tayo.

Meron satin OC. Me sobrang selosa. Me sobrang nagger. Me sobrang perfectionist. Me sobrang high maintenance. Me sobrang paranoid. Me sobrang ilusyonada. Me sobrang SOBRA talaga....Hmm!! Amininnn!

Quits lang. Perfect recipe for disaster. Don't tell me you'd want it differently. He who is perfect cast the 1st stone. In other words, Virgin groom lang ang me K maghanap ng virgin bride!

Teka, bat tayo umabot don?

Ayo...puyat na talaga ako. Kung ano-ano na lang ang naiisip ko. Bukas, ganyan na naman yan.

The One That Got Away

2008-11-19T06:09:00.009+08:00

I think the world is divided into 3 groups:

1. those that are considered as "The one" by someone, but no, he/she is not the one for you.
2. those who considered someone as "The one" but he/she does not belong to you.
3. those who got lucky and ended up with "The one".

Most of the time, to consider someone as 'the one' requires a relationship. Palagay ko, you cannot consider someone as the one if he's just a fling. Or she's just your crush. One has to play a very special role in your life para ma-awardan ng ganitong title.

Often times, one does not know that he's with 'the one' while the relationship is ongoing. We miss the mark. Only few have their 6th sense open. These few bastards get to be so wise that they do not let go of the other person. They decide to stick with that person, mabaho man ang hininga sa umaga. Umutot man habang nagroromansa.

What happens to those who had no clue?

They end up with regrets. Forever left with "what ifs". They muster their courage and tell themselves "I moved on". But from time to time, they give a spilt-second of their thoughts to that someone who got away. And to that deciding time or event when they decided it's best to part. "I can live without you". And have regrets later...

"Tinawanan pa kita. Tinawag mo 'kong WALANGHIYA e medyo pangit ka pa non.... ngunit ngayon..."

It gets easier in time though. Whether in denial or plain admittance that the one got away, anybody is entitled to say "I'm better off". Mean it or hide it, it would still be better if you belong to group #3.

I wouldn't even begin to try to give an advice. Or make a "how to know if you're with the one before you accidentally kill him" article. I am not that wise. There is no perfect formula here. I just got so damn lucky. And how I wish everybody can have their own share of luck too.

Go follow your heart.

Realizations from Bob Ong

2008-11-12T19:21:00.002+08:00

1. "Kung hindi mo mahal ang isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya.."

2. "Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba."

3. "Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang."

4. "Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na."

5. "Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin."

6. "Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din."

7. "Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang."

8. "Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa."

9. "Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka.. Kaya quits lang."

10. "Kung dalawa ang mahal mo, piliin mo yung pangalawa. Kasi hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo talaga yung una." (Ganon ba yun?! --potpot)

11. "Hindi porke't madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text ng wantusawa eh may gusto sayo at magkakatuluyan kayo. Meron lang talagang mga taong sadyang friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall o paasa."

12. "Huwag magmadali sa babae o lalaki. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon, mag-iiba ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong hindi pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang maganda o nakakalibog ito. Totoong mas mahalaga ang kalooban ng tao higit sa anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan nagmumukha ding pandesal, maniwala ka."

13. "Minsan kahit ikaw ang nakaschedule, kailangan mo pa rin maghintay, kasi hindi ikaw ang priority."

14. "Mahirap pumapel sa buhay ng tao. Lalo na kung hindi ikaw yung bida sa script na pinili nya."

15. "Alam mo ba kung gaano kalayo ang pagitan ng dalawang tao pag nagtalikuran na sila? Kailangan mong libutin ang buong mundo para lang makaharap ulit ang taong tinalikuran mo."

16. "Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala"

17. "Hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohan, at hindi lahat ng hindi mo kayang intindihin ay kasinungalingan"

18. "Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!"

ps:
Bat ganun, ke Bob Ong ba talaga galing 'to? Ni-fwd lang sa email ko e. Parang di ko 'to nabasa sa mga libro nya hehe...

Joining the Bandwagon (with some exceptions)

2008-10-15T18:58:00.005+08:00

Usong-uso ngayon ang mga TV series. Pag di ka nakapanood ng latest episode, outdated ka agad (at humanda ka sa mga spoilers). Ano-anong series ba ang pinapanood mo? At bakit? Ako, heto:

Gossip Girl - reminds me how blessed I am na "general patronage" pa ang high school era ko (1991-1995). At imbes ma-bully, kasali ako sa tropa ng mga bullies. hehe.

Blair is my favorite biatch. She's pretty and fearless. Cute si Nate, pang boyband. Si Chuck laging parang high. Dan is too good to be true. Lil sis nya (forgot her name) is a social climber which reminds me of someone...

"3 words. 8 letters. Say it, I'm yours." Wow.

Chuck - pinaka-favorite ko ngayon. Comedy slash action. Sana maging si Chuck at Sarah na.

How I Met Your Mother - seriously, walang gwapo sa series na 'to (lolz). Pero sulit panoorin dahil sa pamatay na mga hirit ni Barney (Neil Patrick Harris). Can't believe he's gay in real life.

Entourage - 20 mins ++ lang every episode. At walang episode na walang sinex yung isa sa apat na main character dito. At parang di naman si Vince Chase ang bida dito hehe. I fell in love sa character ni E (sya pala si Finn sa The Notebook).

Smallville - Pinapanood ko na ulit. Kaso sa season na 'to, parang di worthy yung mga pinalit na characters sa mga nawala. I miss Lana Lang. Si Lex Luthor malamang babalik naman yun? Ang good thing lang sa season na 'to ay si Green Archer (wafu!). Si Clark Kent, iisa lang ang jacket. At inlab na si Lois sa kanya?

Dexter - di ko na pinapanood. Inistop ko muna. Walang gwapo dito. And seriously, bat di pa sya nahuhuli ng mga pulis?

Grey's Anatomy - nawala ata yung charm ni McDreamy simula maglive-in sila ni Meredith? Sige, magbreak na lang muna ulit kayo hehehe. Si Lexie, inlab sa bading uyyyy hehehe. Ang dense mo naman George. Pang-asar si Alex. Lagi lang sinasaktan ang kalooban ni Izzie. Cristina, wala ng spice ang role nyo ni McSteamy. Ano ba yan. Sana mag guest naman ulit si Addison tsaka si Dr. Burke :)

Alias - I'm 2 years behind. Two Words: Michael Vaughn. What more can I say? Haaay.

Di ako fully makajoin sa bandwagon, di ko kasi pinapanood yung Prison Break at Heroes. Bakit? Ewan ko. Tsaka na lang siguro?...

I fell in love with Greenwich

2008-10-13T22:07:00.008+08:00

...because of their Baked Mac. It's like the ChickenJoy of Jbee, the Frosty of Wendy's, the French Fries of Mcdo.

Until they started screwing up. They keep reinventing the damn pasta! Chicken baked mac? Watdahel were they thinking? Tapos ngayon, they changed it back to beef. Pero corned beef baked mac. Sheez.

Even their pizzas were reinvented. Andami nang bagong flavor. Wala na yung solo size. Aanhin mo yung double size kung mag-isa ka lang? badtrip. Yung spicy chicken nila, phased out na rin. Masarap pa naman yun sa gravy nila.

Buti na lang, andyan pa rin yung Garlic Stix. At yung lasagna ...yummm! Na-reinvent din. Masarap =D In short, no more hating...kakain pa rin ako sa Greenwich.

It's Official...

2008-07-18T15:20:00.008+08:00

Oy wag na magkunware...tatawa-tawa kayo dyan...last week andami na natatakot nung lumabas yung email tungkol sa prediction ni Juseelino Nobrega Daroose.

"2008
- Will find the medicine for AIDS and Dengue
- 18th July, Philippine will get 8.1 earthquake, thousands people will die
- The Empire State Building New York will get terror attack in September.
- 13th of September, China will get 9.1 earthquake in Nanning and Hainan, at the same time will get 30 meters Tsunami, millions people will die, the tsunami may go to Japan Directly."

Ayon dito wala namang binabanggit si Jusee (nickname nya, close kami...) na earthquake sa Pinas. At kung meron man, maniniwala ka ba?

Bakit andali paikutin ng mga Pinoy sa email at sms? Ganun ba tayo ka naive o we're just desperate to believe in to anything?

July 18 na, lilindol ba? :D me kalahating araw pa...

So there was a rape case against Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon, and Richie D' Horsie?

The year was 1982. And it was filed by the underaged Pepsi Paloma. Rene Cayetano, a just-starting attorney, was assigned to take her case but it was settled out of court and the trio made a public apology. She commited suicide on 1985.

There are very few related articles in the web regarding this issue (alam nyo na siguro kung bakit).

Bakit ko nilagay 'to sa blog ko? NAGULAT kasi ako. Parang lahat ng tao sa Pinas, alam itong issue na 'to... pwera ako :))

So now, everybody moved on. I never liked Tito, Vic, and Joey and their "funny antics". "Etchas! etchas! etchas ka pa!" was all I can remember from their movie with Aiza Seguerra. But Filipinos buy it. My hubby likes them. I let him be.

I am seeing rapists everyday on my boob tube... and people laugh at them, and with them.

(Just thinking out loud.)

Bakit me Nipples ang lalake...

2008-07-09T17:50:00.003+08:00

... kung di naman sila naglalabas ng gatas? Me nipple na, me butas pa.. wala naman lalabas dun ever!

Para di nakakalito ang likod sa harap?
Para me kakabitan ang nipple ring?

Para san nga?

Bakit Ganun, Yoshi?

2008-07-07T17:54:00.004+08:00

Ako lang ba ang naghahanap ng Salmon Bowl dito sa Pinas? Di ba supposed-to-be, mura lang Salmon dito kumpara sa Singapore?

Bat walang Salmon Bowl dito? (meron lang Salmon Teriyaki, nde masarap)

At bat walang vegetables na kasama sa Beef Bowl? Hindi naman yata makatarungan yan.

Swerte ng mga yoshi-lovers sa Sing. Sa Taiwan, wala din Salmon Bowl...

Pasan Ko ang Daigdig

2008-06-20T15:50:00.006+08:00

prologue: normally, I wouldn't rant on this blog about these things... pero kasi... pwede ko na ikumpisal na may bad toughts ako para sa 3 taong ito:

1. The Charcoal. May uling na nagpauso sa amin ng "multitasking". Ayos naman sana. Para daw lumawak ang kaalaman mo. Kaso in the long run, parang abuso na. Yung tipong hazardous to health na sa sobrang dami ng pinapagawa. Tapos ang nakakainis pa, kunyare concern sya sayo. Sunugin!

2. The Dynamite. Masakit sa ulo pag aali-aligid sya sa'yo dahil sa di kaaya-ayang amoy. Nagpanic ba naman. Di daw sya makapagtrabaho. Ewan kung bakit hindi nya kayang ayusin mag-isa yung mga gusot na gawa nya. Daig pa ang aso namin sa pagka-high maintenance. Hanggang kelan me sasalo ng mga gusot na gawa mo? Maawa ka naman sa amin, Boom Boom.

3. The Senior Citizen. Dapat dito retired na. Kaso walang pangsustenyo sa mga luho nya. Kaya "nagtatrabaho" pa. Dahil wala ng ibang kayang gawin kundi magbasa ng news, parusa ang maging katrabaho nya. Para ding tuta na kailangan ng guidance. Kung hindi, maliligaw (sa edad na pwede na mag-adult diapers, LOST sya pramis). Ang pinaka-nakakainit ng dugo, dahil siguro sa katandaan o dahil sa dami ng impormasyon galing sa mga Balitang nasasagap nya online, WALA syang matandaan pag tungkol sa trabaho ang usapan. Paulit ulit ka nya gagambalain. "Ano na balita?", "Tapos na ba ito?", "Ano nga ulit yung problema?".... Mother Father!!! Kahit lagyan mo ng post-it yung noo nya, babalikan ka pa rin para itanong yung mga tanong nya 5 mins ago. Gloria resign! Senior Citizen, resign!

My common factor 'tong tatlong asungot na 'to. Nalilipol sila sa isang lugar lang. Hibernating.

24 Hours in Tagaytay

2008-06-17T17:12:00.043+08:00

For the much needed break, we decided to spend a weekend at Tagaytay. You think you've been there before? Think again. This place has transformed (we cannot do anything about the heat, though. Summer stinks.)

Mijo Hotel. Affordable rate (1800 a night for a comfortable and clean room, friendly staff) We found this thru forums and personal recommendation from Aps. Medyo hassle lang sa parking space. Babalik pa ba kami? Maybe after trying those 5 star-hotels we initially wanted but later decided it might not be worthy after all (kasi balak talaga namin maglagalag sa Tagaytay, not stay at the hotel for the whole day)

Peso Power: 8

First stop: RSM Restaurant

Feeling ko overpriced ang pagkain dito. Kasi naman Inihaw na Baboy, Sinigang sa Miso, at Saging con hielo lang order namin, umabot na kami ng 800 pesoses! Ok ang view ng Taal. Sitting pretty by the window. Mahangin. Ok dito magpalipas ng oras (humanga at tumunganga sa view).

Peso Power: 6

2nd Stop: Bag of Beans

Dito kami nag-snack. I don't know what's the fuss all about. Andami insekto sa loob hehe. Di ako makakuha ng picture sa kokonting halamanan kasi laging me nangangagat. Garden-type ang ambiance. Parang kumakain ka sa garden ng kaklase mo ang feeling hehe. Syempre sosy ang mga customers. Giant pancake! We ordered Banana Walnut (3pcs/order) and 2 Guyabano shake (sarap!). Total bill was 300++. Will I visit again? Pwede na. Pag kasama siguro ang tropa, para mas masaya. Pwede maghalakhakan na parang walang pakialam sa mundo. Pero kung 2 lang kayo, medyo boring. Kakain lang talaga (at magmamadali ka na umalis dahil pinapapak ka na ng kung ano man)

Peso power: 7 (masarap kasi yung food)

3rd Stop: Antonio's Restaurant

Nope, di kami kumain dito hehe. Kasunod lang kasi sya ng Bag of Beans kaya nag-try na kami sumilip. Medyo malayo from the main road. Sosy yung sa gate pa lang. We heard kelangan ng reservation to actually dine in. Sayang. From what I've heard, sarap daw ng food dito. Tsaka maganda yung garden.

4th Stop: The Flower Farm.

Curious kami. Baka sakali mag picture-picture dito. Sows.... anlayo lalo from main road. Tapos...wala na. Ni hindi naman kami kumatok kung pwede ba pumasok. Nyahaha. Sabi nila sarado na 'to. Di na siguro pwede for the public. Nakakapagod na rin. Tsaka palubog na yung araw. Uwian na lang.

5th Stop: Green ATS Bulalohan

Top favorite kainan sa Tagaytay! Secret lang sana 'to. Kung cowboy ka and trip mo magpunta sa tagaytay ng madaling araw, dito na kayo tumambay. Newly renovated (me mga waiters na sila ngayon hehe). Di naman nagbago yung presyo. Bulalo nila nasa 200++ pa rin. Bbq = 25 pesos. The best talaga. Main reason why I don't order Bulalo in Manila is because I fear I'd end up comparing it to their bulalo. Pag napadaan kayo dito and di nyo ni-try, your loss =P

Peso Power: 9

The next day: Dinaanan na lang namin 'tong mga 'to.
5R Rooms for Rent. (046) 413-4249 or 0917-2546529
Keni Po Rooms. (046) 4830977
Tagaytay Econo Inn. (046) 413-4284 or 632 5298176
THouse. (046) 483.0011, (046) 483.0012, (mobile) 0922-8THouse

Last Stop: Good Sheperd Sisters. Famous for their.... err... ube jam, buko pie and suman sa liya? Nakibili na rin kami pampasalubong :) Uwian na... yehey. Now, feast your eyes.

* overpriced Sinigang sa Miso and Inihaw na Baboy *

* the best BULALO in town*

* Giant Pancakes! *

Now.. if only I know where I got food poisoned.....

Nakakainis!

2008-06-15T22:36:00.002+08:00

Ayoko ng imbento.

Ayoko ng eksperimento.

Sana kung ano yung nakasanayan, yun na.

Ang sinigang.... dapat baboy. Ang nilaga, sa baka. Ang sopas, pang-manok.

Bat pa paghahalu-haluin? OO nga pwede naman. Pero masarap ba naman?

Nagluto samin ng sopas, ang nakahalo ay BABOY. Badtrip na badtrip ako. Sablay sa panlasa e.

Nagmemenudo ka ba ng isda?

Tinolang baka?

Di porke pwede, gagawin.

Panget minsan yung outcome e.

Why is it that

a parent or a boss can continually get disappointed

with their kids, or their subordinates

without realizing

that the kids, or the team

also gets disappointed...

(because they unconsciously reflect how they are being "managed")

Nagpapatawa Ka Ba?

2008-04-30T14:57:00.005+08:00

On KFC, while on queue...

KFC staff: ... ano po yung drinks?
girl 1: Sprite.
KFC staff: Mam, Pepsi product po kami. Ok lang po 7-up?
girl 1: Ayyy... walang Sprite???

(blag!!!! I imagine girl's head is hit with the cash register. By me, of course.)

girl 2: Ako order ko Fully Loaded meal.
KFC staff: Ano po yung chicken, original or hot & crispy?
girl 2: huh? ano yun? *taray-mode*
KFC staff: chicken flavor po, original or hot & crispy?
girl 2: ano difference?

KFC staff explained.

girl 2: (after long 'uhmmmmmm') ah sige original na lang.
KFC staff: ano po fixin nyo?
girl 2: ano ano ba ang choices?

(ME: UNGAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!!! Kanina ka pa nakapila di mo inisip yan?!)

KFC staff enumerated.

girl 2: (after another long 'uhmmmmmm') Mashed potato na lang....

by the way, Girl 1 and Girl 2 are together. And no, I don't think this is their 1st trip to KFC...

I'm Still Here

It could be your house, your friends, your own routine.

The country. The food.

The marital status.

They call it The Comfort Zone. Basta anything you've come to love and most of the time, ignore (because you thought you'd always have them). They are the things that makes you... well YOU.

Sometimes we call it The Danger Zone. Because it becomes a routine. It blocks you from thinking out of the box. It hinders your growth.

But...one million $ question is... why change? Why fix if it ain't broken?

I hate risk. I fear change. I am a pessimist.

Sige, sa mga lumabas at nang-iwan sa comfort zone nila... please answer.

How do you decide when to leave your comfort zone? When is the right time to say goodbye?

"Don't be so melodramatic now", I remind myself.

'Cause we're just living in a material world ;-)

Pledge of Loyalty

2008-04-10T17:19:00.004+08:00

If you work for someone, then work for him: Speak well of him and stand by the institution he represents. Remember, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must growl, condemn, and eternally find fault, resign your position and when you are on the outside, complain to your hearts content. But as long as you are a part of the institution, do not condemn it. ~ Elbert Hubbard

** I swear I believed and stood by this pledge once upon a time in my life. I don't remember how I lost it. But I know when and to whom I lost this principle...

What Sarah Means

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.

You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.

You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.

You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.

You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.

You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.

You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.

Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.

Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Open Letter sa mga Sunog-Baga ng PBCom

2008-03-25T10:41:00.002+08:00

Walang pinipiling oras. Umagang-umaga. Tanghali. Hapon hanggang gabi. Kalat-kalat na kumpulan ng mga nagyoyosi sa labas ng PBCom Tower, Ayala Makati.

Kung passerby ka, para kang nasa maze. Find your way out dahil mausok ang paligid. Dapat praktisado ka sa swimming. Matagal na hindi hihinga kung ayaw mo malanghap lahat ng usok na binubuga hindi sa kausap nila.... kundi sa mga dumadaan.

Simpleng panawagan lang naman. Konting konsiderasyon lang po sa mga nagdaraan...

Scandal, Scandal

2008-03-24T12:29:00.003+08:00

I have been reading this blog for a while now.

It's from an Australian guy (HIV positive) that claims he was scammed by his Pinoy boyfriend Delfin 'DJ' Montano.

Now this blog wouldn't be so interesting if he wasn't name-dropping some famous and elite people here in Manila...

"Celine Lopez is a Cocaine Addict."
"Tim Yap's cock is tiny."
"Tina Tinio scoffed all the good soft cheese at a luncheon in Singapore."
"Wendy Puyat has a boytoy who poses as a gay yoga instructor."

DJ, just give him back his money....

"Pag hindi ba magaling mag-English, BOBO?"

Hindi naman yun ang dapat pagtalunan e. Kalimutan na yung grammar issue nya (hindi nya din naman nasagot yung tanong). Magdala na lang ng interpreter sa contest.

Tsaka, ikaw nga yung humarap ng naka 2-pc swimsuit (na gold) sa harap ng madlang people. Judge mo pa si Dennis Trillio (Zaidoooh!) at Marimar.... nakakapressure talaga di ba?

Sabi naman nila, she can STILL be trained. Hala iha, itabi mo sa pagtulog lahat ng paraphernalia sa training mo...

Matanong ko lang po (baka sakaling alam nyo yung sagot)... sa dami ng applicants, they chose 25 ladies to be the candidates for this year. Out of 25 ladies, wala na bang iba na hindi na kelangan i-train? Yung beauty na, wala pang prob sa Q&A? Dalawa lang yung pumasa at yung pangatlo (Miss World title-holder), compromised na... i-train na lang. Mataas naman sa long gown & bathing suit?

Baka para sa 2009, dapat mala-Pinoy Idol or StarStruck ang campaign para mas madami ang sumali dyan sa contest na yan. Di ba madami magaganda sa Cebu? hehe....

(sayang, over age na ako... lolz)

Habang wala pang sarili.... pahiram muna!

I have 3 Timex Watches, Shet!

2008-01-25T17:16:00.000+08:00

one with stainless bracelet(2005) - bought from Duty Free
one with leather-strap (2007) - bought from SM Sucat branch
one sporty type with stretchy fiber(2008) - bought from SM Megamall branch

They looked ok. For the meantime. Especially when they're on sale. Tempting di ba?

Until I started to notice their boo-boos.

1. Batteries do not last for one year. I know, i know. It's not part of the warranty. Pero whoa... ibig sabihin nagbebenta kayo ng watch na a) either matagal ng nakadisplay kaya ubos na ang battery pag nabili na or b) puro paubos na ang battery ng watches na binebenta nyo?

Nooo. It can't be A. Kasi when I bought the one with the leather strap, it says 'New Arrival' on the display. Lantarang pandaraya. Battery na nga lang, tinitipid pa... Dahil ba ina-alot nila na pambayad ke Piolo at Angel ang budget imbes na sa batteries ng watches nila?

2. Poor customer service. OK bigyan ko kayo 3 examples:

a. I ordered a strap (for the one with leather-strap) and they told me it will take at last 3 months for the items to arrive. Lintek. Galing ba sa bundok yan? Kelangan ko na kasi ng strap so sige, tyaga na lang. 6 months na, wala pa rin. 7th month, bumili ako ng bagong relo, same brand so finallow-up ko ulit yung request ko. Sabi, nagbago na pala ng request form. Baka wala na yung old request ko. Ayus a? Kung di ako bumili ng bago, di ko malalaman na umaasa ako sa wala dahil...

b. ...ang service center na binigay nila, MADALAS walang sumasagot. Ayaw nyo maniwala? Try calling 817-9008. Matapos ang ilang oras na walang sumasagot biglang nag-busy. Yun pala, coffee break daw (sabi sa headquarters nila). Ayos talaga.

c. finally, after hundred attempts, I was able to talk to their customer service. Only to find out na WALA ng strap para sa watch ko kasi.. phase out na daw! Old model na daw yun. Watdapak? Last year lang yun a. And before I bought the watch, I made sure that I can easily buy a spare strap. The people in the store said there'd be no problem. Talk about sales talk!

I therefore conclude, 3 watches are enough. Leche kayo TIMEX.

Sometimes i wonder

2007-12-12T03:19:00.000+08:00

if you still love me
or loved me at all

for there are nights
that felt
exactly like this
when we laughed
and looked
and whispered
things we need not say

(and then there were none)

so i ask myself
while i wait
and think
and lie
and stay awake though in bed
do you believe that you love me
or loved me ever at all.

If the Juice is Worth the Squeeze

2007-12-07T00:46:00.000+08:00

They say "4".
We say "3".
They say "mandatory".
We say "compromise".
They emphasized "teamwork".
We hear "overrule".
They explain "we dont even like it".
We ask "then why force it?"
They press "pay for 4".
We yield for 3.
In the end, nobody's happy.

The goal compromised the camaraderie. Definitely... this juice ain't worth the squeeze.

*********
if you ask me "why so serious?". i'd tell you, "you dont wanna know. plus, this is just the icing of the cake. im here, where panda bears are cruel..."

DELL

2007-11-19T15:18:00.000+08:00

May bago akong laptop. Di pala sa akin yun. Sa kumpanya, pahiram lang.

Di hamak naman na mas maganda ‘tong bago kesa sa luma. Kung maganda yung luma at walang topak, di naman yun papalitan di ba?

Para rin palang relasyon ‘tong ginagawa ko.

Uninstall. Re-install. Napansin ko lang, mas matagal mag-install kesa uninstall. Parang investment (ng emotions). Kung tutuusin, segundo lang ang pag uninstall. Samantalang nung nag-iinstall ka, minsan overnight pa bago matapos. Pero pag maghihiwalay na, (sa iba) mabilis lang. Yung iba nga, uninstall na lang, nag-eerror pa. Di kaya i-detach ang sarili. Kaya advice ng karamihan, delete na lang. O kaya reformat. Para start a new life.

Upgrade. Natutunan mo na meron pang mas ok dun sa lumang laptop. Kaya mas magandang specs ang pinili mo sa bagong laptop. Pati mga software, upgraded. Kasi yung luma, parang beta version. Dami pang errors. Yung bago, malamang di naman yun perfect. Pero… nakakasawa na din kasi yung problema sa luma. Kahit pa ilang beses mo i-scan, sasabihin walang error. Pero nagtotopak naman palagi.

Back-up ng files then transfer. Matrabaho ‘to. Delikado pa. Pano kung habang nagtatransfer, maputol ang connection? Ok lang ba sayo mabura yung ibang files mo? Enough na bang pampalubag-loob na bago at mas maganda naman yung bagong laptop mo? Gawa ka na lang ng bagong files? Bayaan mo na yung na-corrupt sa lumang laptop.

Ano na nga pala gagawin sa lumang laptop? Ibibigay sa iba? Iba na ang gagamit? Ok lang naman yun kung time na talaga na palitan sya. Pero pa’no kung enjoy ka pa sa laptop mo tapos kukunin ng iba? Or worse, masira kasi hanggang dun lang ang lifetime nya?

Sa ngayon, di pa ako kumportable sa bagong laptop ko. Nangangapa pa. Paminsan-minsan gusto ko na lang gamitin yung luma. Kaso simula ng ginive-up ko sya, wala na akong karapatan sa kanya. Iniisip ko pa kung ano ang magandang add-on sa laptop ko para maging at ease ako sa kanya tulad sa luma. Pero baka naman di ko kelangan mag-try hard. Let things fall into place. There’s nothing in this world that time cannot fix…and most probably, cannot heal.

All those in favor, say "Aye".

"Where's Your Manager" Part 2

2007-11-10T16:01:00.000+08:00

Quickie para sa mga nagtatanong... eto po ang sideline ni NOO kaya madalas nawawala.

“Where’s Your Manager?”

2007-11-08T12:15:00.000+08:00

I was at Cebu airport when I heard it. Nagko-complain yung babae kasi kanina pa daw sila nakapila (para mag-check in) at biglang sinara ang counter. Aba’y nakakainis talaga di ba? So sumingit sya sa counter namin at dun gumawa ng eksena.

Ganire pala ang nangyari: Sinabi na sa counter na last passenger na yung nasa harap ni (bigyan natin sya ng nickname) Biatch. Wala pa ang pamilya ni Biatch sa pila. Nung pumila sila don, di siguro nasabihan ni last passenger na magkoclose na ang counter at hanggang kanya na lang ang pila (aba, malay natin baket, d ba?). So pila si Biatch hanggang magclose ang counter. Bwahahaha.

Singit si Biatch sa counter namin.

“Kanina pa ako nakapila don e.”

“Mam kasi kelangan na po talaga I-close yung counter at dito na po lahat pinalipat.”

“Pwede ba unahin mo ako? Kanina pa kami e.”

(Gago ‘to. Kung kanina ka pa don eh bat di mo narinig ung announcement -- makikisabat sana ako hehe.)

“Mam baka po pwede pila na lang po ulit kayo kasi kanina pa rin nakapila yung iba.”

(nakalimutan ko na ano pinagsasasabi ni Biatch dito.)

“Kasi po mam nung nag-announce kami, wala pa po kayo don.”

Nakakabingi ang boses ni Biatch… gumagawa talaga ng eksena hehe. Feeling Diva. “Where’s your supervisor?? I want to talk to you supervisor.”

Na sinagot ng kausap nya, “Ako po Mam. Ako po ang supervisor.” Um loko. Eh di lalong nagpanting tenga ni Biatch.

Nakisabat pa ang asawa ni Biatch. “Kung mali naman talaga kayo, dapat I-admit nyo na lang. Hindi yung kung ano-ano pa sinasabi nyo.”

Huwaaaat? Unbelievable. Sino ba ang pumila sa maling counter?

So shempre para walang gulo, pinagbigyan na rin ang pamilya ni Biatch kasi umaabot na yung pila ng counter sa Timbuktu.

(end of kaguluhan)

Sa pinas ko lang nawi-witness eto ha. Customer is king? Bullshit. Know the difference between privilege and rights. And even if you are right this time, always remember that you are dealing with humans. They’re just doing their job. No need to be maldita. We know you have power (or baka nagfi-feeling me power?) but it doesn’t hurt to be kind. Ever heard of the word “humility”?

What is wrong, is wrong. Even if everybody is doing it. What is right, is right. Even if nobody is doing it.

Araw na ng mga patay

2007-10-30T22:09:00.000+08:00

Wala ako sa opis ngayon kasi… me bibisitahin kami sa Cebu. Mahalagang tao.

Bago dumating yung pangangailangan na me bisitahin kami sa Cebu, simple lang ang Nov 1 and 2 ko. Nasa bahay, nakahilata. Nanay ko na bahala sa mga dapat naming bisitahin. Minsan sumasama kaming magkakapatid pero saglit lang. Boring naman kasi tumambay sa mga sementeryo no? Tapos trapik pa. Tapos mainit.

Pero simula sa taong ito, iba na.

Isa yan sa magbabago kung mahalagang tao ang “nawala” sa iyo. Parang me panata ka. Na bibisitahin mo sya sa araw na yon. Actually, pwede namang anyday. Pero madami tayong rason bakit di natin nabibisita ang puntod nila. (Parang simbahan yan e. Sabi ng iba, bakit kelangan pa magpunta sa simbahan kung pwede naman kausapin ang Diyos kahit saan?)

After effect lang yang pagbisita sa sementeryo. Pero kung babalikan mo yung nangyari, kung bakit ka bumibisita sa kanila…

Ikaw ba, how do you go through a death of a loved one?

How do you handle the pain?

I don’t.

{forever in denial}

Artik : The Double Date

2007-10-26T18:36:00.000+08:00

Ang ganda nya talaga. Perfect yung mukha nya. Bat kaya nilikha ng Diyos na hindi pare-pareho ang tao?

Yawa. Nasan na ba yung partner-in-crime ko? Kanina pa ako mukhang palamuti dito. Wala akong pinag-kaiba dun sa vase na nasa table. Walang kausap, walang silbi. Sabi ko na nga ba, wrong move ‘tong double date na ‘to. Syeeeeet. Mukha na akong tanga. At pwede na ako langgamin sa titigan nung dalawa. Kelangan ko ba masaksihan eto??

“Oy excuse me ha. Labas lang ako, tatawag daw si labs ko.”

Ayus. Parang walang narinig yung dalawa.

---

“Wag ka na magalit girl. Sabi ko naman sayo na 50-50 ang chance kong makahabol. Sorry na talaga. Ikaw naman kasi. Magpaalam ka na lang kaya? Sabihin mo me emergency. Tutal sabi mo OP ka na…”

“Hay nako! Kasalanan mo ‘to! Ngayon mo pa ako iniwan. Utang na loob, pumunta ka na dito.”

“Kung pwede lang ba talaga e. Pwede ba, sabihin mo na yung totoo na wala kang jowa. Mahirap magpanggap na mhin. Ano ba kasi pumasok sa isip mo. Nireto mo ang bestfriend mo sa love of your life. Ay ewan ko sa’yo, nakakalo….”

Ow shit! Muntik na ako masubsob sa halamanan a. Asan na ang cellfone ko….

“Miss, ok ka lang ba? I’m so sorry. Im really, really sorry. Here let me help you...”

{Sorry? Nag-dive ako na parang paru-paro sa tusok-tusok na halaman at…ayun ang cell ko…pinulot na ng walangyang bumangga….whoa!}

I know this guy. My gulay. Of all people…

---

“How long has it been? 4 years? My god, you still look great!”

{Aba dapat lang, plano ko kasi mang-agaw ng date ng me date ngayon kaso… }

“Are you ok? Sorry sa accident, nahuli naman ata yung nagtatatakbo dito kanina. Looks like me na-snatchan ng bag.”

“I’m…….ok” Sa wakas, me nasabi rin ako.

“It would make me feel better if I can make it up to you…”

“Di mo naman sadya. Besides, mukhang nagmamadali ka. Promise, I’m ok.”

“You’re right. I’m late for a meeting. But hey...I haven’t seen you for the longest time. Please let me make it up to you. Coffee? Just like the old times?”

Old time? Big word. Waaa. I think I’m gonna faint.

Sabay-labas ni NC (as in New Crushie). “I heard there was a commotion. Are you ok? What happened?”

Wow. Ang sweet mo talaga NC. Kaya mahal na kita eh…

“She needs band-aid, Pre. May sugat yung tuhod nya…” Sumabat si OC (Old Crushie).

Opps! Me sugat pala ako? Di ko napansin. NC and OC. Gusto ko na yatang maglaho bigla. I’m torn wahehe. Feeling damsel in distress.

“Boyfriend?” Tanong ni OC sakin.

Tiningnan ko si NC. Please… please…

Just this once… say yes.

“Hey guys, the food’s ready.” Lumabas na rin pala si Bestfriend. Wala nang naiwan sa table namin.

Nasa eksena na naman Siya. At gaya ng pag-ibig ko para ke NC, laging wrong timing Siya.

---
writer's note: di ko na po alam ang kasunod nito. magkakatuluyan ba si bestfriend at new crushie? pano ang bida? dapat ba, kay old crushie na lang sya?
