For now, I have to catch up with my sleep....

On So Many Things…

2011-12-15T07:23:00.002+08:00

I had a short vacation. It was quick and fun. When I got back to Davao, we immediately rushed my Mom to the hospital. She got confined in the ICU for severe chest and back pain. When she calmed down at around 4 in the morning I was exhausted but couldn’t find a place to sleep. The watcher’s area of the ICU was at its worst state. It is a replica of an evacuation center. Add relief goods and we all would look like victims of fire and flooding.

I will try to write more when I get my grove back. So, I am leaving a promise in this post, the itinerary of my whole trip and post.

SURIGAO: Enchanted River, Tinuy-an Falls Adventure, PUGAD (Green Bay Over night), Britania Island Tour, Lolong- The Biggest Crocodile in captivity, and finally, The Hospital Ordeal.

See you all soon!

Is Back... Again...

2011-12-08T21:12:00.002+08:00

I haven’t been writing a lot lately, at least not for this blog. 15 posts for 2011 is not a good statistics. I will try to write more starting today. I might tweak this blog to make it even more functional and helpful to the general public. I will try to write at least once a day.

I hope I can keep up with this promise.

Random Learnings: Dec. 8, 2011

2011-12-08T21:10:00.000+08:00

I am not an authority when it comes to talking about values and respect, about life and responsibility. I have lived a life so carelessly that my virtues are tainted with so many dark spots. But I have learned things in these 25 years of existence, some outrageous and stupid but very practical and real. Let me share some of them to you.

1. You can't trust anyone to make you happy. People will fail you and make you cry, it is natural. Just care for them and don't expect to receive the same caring.

2. Pay your debts. Your word is tantamount to your credibility. If you have debts, pay them. This will increase your credit line and credit standing in the future.

3. Keep your promises, and if you can't keep them, face it. People rely on promises even if they say they don’t. So keep your promises.

4. Don't cry out loud. People will see your weakness if you do. Take things in a stride and keep your emotions to yourself until the time is right to show it.

5. Stop holding on to something that is not worth it.

6. Simplify your life. You don't need fancy things to make it through to living.

7. Don't sweat over small things.

At the end of the day, all you have is yourself to blame for the things done and undone. Make the most out of living and live it the way you want it. Money is a strong driving force in human life but don’t let it ruin you. Again, all you have is yourself; everything else plays second in this game of life.

so my cellphone was snatched....

the cellphone that I bought from my hard earned money...

the sim that I have been using since 2005...

the contacts that I built for 6 long years...

a replica of the phone that has been....

my mom asked me if I was okay with it...

I told her yes... but I will miss my phone

the only consolation that I have

is the fact

na di ako ang magnanakaw

ibig sabihin may mas naghihirap

at mas masama pa kesa sa akin

Sunday Must Do

2011-08-07T16:43:00.001+08:00

Gazillion of things in my mind right now. Yesterday was an okay day, I was able to pull it off without having to kill somebody, without any bloodshed. Today, I expect to finish all these:

1. Rewrite 6 articles
2. Buy a charger for my phone
3. Do the laundry
4. Edit some more pictures
5. Go to church
6. Sleep some more....

So, let my Sunday begin!

I Need To...

2011-08-06T15:15:00.001+08:00

I am becoming grumpier and grumpier each passing day. I have been mostly tired after so many sleepless nights. The writing, blog commenting,some random events, and social media task is taking its tool on me. I just feel tired and I mean very tired.

I still need to catch up with my sleep. I want to eat non-stop. I need to finish all my backlogs.I need some time for myself.

I am currently in my web design class and I can't grasp anything. The MySQL lessons is so alien to me while the codes look all the same as well. If you ever tried copying everything verbatim and still can't get it right, you know you are in a big sh*t hole. I know, because currently I am in that place.

I need a good laugh, I need a bottle of beer, I need to eat in a buffet, I need to sleep, I need my movie time back, I need a vacation . But, I still need to write 200 short descriptions, I need to post blog comments to 50 dofollow blogs, I need to write 7 web reviews (700-900 words each), I need to process photos and I need to check for new strategies.

So instead of trying to dissect and understand how all these crazy codes work,and how they would affect each other, here I am updating my blog and writing a random entry. Instead of doing the things that should be done,here I am ranting and pouring myself out in this blog.

You never realize how much a friend means to you until they leave you.

My Take on Maturity

2011-07-28T05:14:00.000+08:00

I had this chat with a friend few days ago and I was proud to have said the right things all at the right time. Just a little backgrounder, I have been hearing a lot of rumors lately. Being the ambassador of peace and goodwill (a title I bestowed upon myself) I have met a lot of people in my 25 years of existence, so I get first hand information of things I need to know and even things I don’t need to know. Receiving a SMS about varied information is not new to me but I was still a little annoyed when I heard about the news that apparently a friend of this friend of mine was talking behind my back and saying nasty things. I couldn’t grasp the logic why she hates me that much to say awful things. The immature me kicked in but I decided to suppress it knowing it will do me more harm. I reminded myself not to be consumed by anger and revenge even if the thought of it is very tempting.

To pacify myself, I decided to talk to this friend of mine who in the first place introduced the two of us. Good thing, he said sorry and made a vow to reprimand the guilty party. I admit I was angry at him for even toying with the idea that we could all work together in perfect harmony (hahahaha) when in fact it was obvious from the start that our planets were not revolving around the same orbit. Partly, it was my fault because I allowed it to happen. Lesson learned, no matter how good you are to people, they will still hurt and make fun of you. If it was not meant to be, it can never be.

I blamed their age for the foolish things they did. I know maturity does not come with age but wisdom does. I am older than them so I think I am at the position to be more understanding, to take things at a stride and let things pass. If they ever chance upon this blog, I would like to give you my take on maturity.

1.    Never say or do things when you are angry- Be silent, be still. Never say or do hurtful things which would just worsen things. In silence you hear yourself more. Listen to it, write down your thoughts, when the storm is over read back on what you have written and evaluate your emotions. You will then realize that you could have said all those things and make matters worse.

2.    Closure is the key to moving on- after the anger, talk like normal and learned people do. Explain your points, listen to explanation, forgive and never bring back ghost. Digging up some old issues is a sign that closure has never occurred. We all move on but at some point we never move away. We still get stuck at the same sh*t hole we were before and we cannot ignore the smell. We just have to know that we were able to clean the sh*t but the smell remains. The smell would remind us not to go through the whole stinky process all over again.

3.    Keep your promises- I don’t take promises lightly, so when you vow not to do it again you are asking me to trust you to keep that promise. And when I say “OKAY” I mean it.

4.    Say what you mean and mean what you say- words are powerful, be careful with it.

5.    Lastly, this is the value I live by all my life. “If you trust a man hire him. If you don’t, then do not hire him”. Life is a cycle of hiring and firing people. You take people in, evaluate them and decide if you want them to be a part of your life. When you take them in, you give an implied notion that you trust them. At the end of the day, it is still your call if you want to retain them in your life or let them go.

Our whole life is a constant struggle for acceptance and respect. When I was younger, I wanted to please everybody. I wanted to be the perfect son, friend, employee, and a perfect person. At this age, I realized I don’t need to please anyone, that I don’t need anyone to accept me. I hate explaining myself. For as the old adage would say, “People who loves you won’t need your explanation, and people who just don’t care won’t believe it anyway”. At this point, I really don’t care what other people would think of me. As long as I am doing the good thing I am ought to be doing, then I am at the right track, just another lesson on maturity.

On Losing and Finding

2011-07-21T15:51:00.001+08:00

This is a repost actually. I wrote this entry for another blog that I created late last year. I wanted that blog to be a little anonymous and mysterious but I eventually decided to quit writing on it. I just can't hop from one blog to another. It is now secured and locked and I am certain I will never bring that blog up again. I wrote things and dropped some names there and I will surely regret if it gets any association with my current status, that dirty little old blog will ruin me. I decided to take this entry out and post it here because I like this post. It is too personal, too secretive and too tricky to tell.

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

One could not phantom the logic behind letting go and holding on or the relationship between losing and finding. Not until you get the bitter sweet taste of it. It is feels like taking a dose of adult paracetamol, it is bitter, hard to swallow tablet but it makes you feel better at the end of the day.

These past months have been a test of character for me. I admittedly got off in a wrong foot this year, ending and starting a year with lies is not a good way to start and end it. I thought I was clever excepting to pull this through when all the while I knew it was bound to be disaster. Half way through the ordeal, I realized I was being saved by an angel. I should have seen it when I first answered that call, when I first replied to that text message, when I first compared the two of you.

When this circus ends, I know I will have to get back to the person who knew me and who cared enough to make me feel loved. The person who remembers every little detail of what I want and hate, who I love and hate, I like and despise. I have to build a relationship with the person who knew me even before all the glitz and glamor, achievement and success, money and fame. I have to keep my promises to the people who cared enough to fulfill their promises and not with the person who promised sweet nothings. For today, I choose to lose you and find that right person.

Pizza Party Media Solutions

2011-07-21T13:45:00.000+08:00

I know I said I will be posting an entry soon, I failed and I am sorry. I don’t usually break my promises but when you are paid to write about other people’s sexual proclivities, you sometimes get writer’s block. When you are paid to say nasty words, you need to back out from the niche to write something decent and regular. When everyday of your life you get to wake up and write about *ss licking, f*cking, s*cking and erotic pleasures there is a very slim chance that you will be able to produce a decent post as this post is suppose to be.

Anyway, our team went out to celebrate an event and to have a little rest and recreation as well. Pizza Party! We went to Mamma Maria’s Pizzeria to avail of their buy-1-take-1 pizza offer. On the Scale of 1 to 10, I’d give them a 6. It surely was not the best pizza in town and I didn’t jump up and down after a good fill but it was an OKAY experience. Their new place located at Ecoland area was cozy and good, very little crowd and the service was superb. We were supposed to have a Karaoke session last Saturday but we were all too tired to even get up and make it happen, maybe next time.

Quick Update After A Long Hiatus

2011-07-13T05:00:00.000+08:00

After being away for several months, I finally decided to get back to blogging, so quick updated now. Time check it is 4:30 in the morning and I need to get some sleep before I start with my work (again).

1. I finally decided to stop working in a formal office set up. Good bye to formal outfit, slacks pants and leather shoes. Hello to working all day smelling like stinky fish, half naked with only under pants on, and smoking while on duty with a bottle of beer by my side.

2. Is now working home base. A more politically correct way of saying I am an official BUMMER. We finally started with our long time plan of working on an elite (what the hell does elite mean?) group of internet marketers.

3. Stopped teaching. I think I mentioned this in my previous post. I admit I miss the thrill of coming to school unprepared for the lesson and pretending to know what I am actually saying. I am so clever that at times I don’t understand what I am saying inside the class, but it did work for some time.

4. Started writing for clients again. Niches are on dental health, flirting and dating, porn site review and porn item description. I know some niches are boring but some just keeps me awake. I mean really awake…hahahahah

5. Is missing someone terribly. Duh! But who cares?

Self Introduction ( A little too late)

2011-05-16T01:47:00.002+08:00

2011 is a new year for me, my family, and my friends. We have so much to look up to and so many things we need to settle. This year marks my silver year. So, I decided to make the most out of my blog this year and for the years to come.

November 2007 when I first started this blog, I am not an avid blogger, so at times I just let days, months and even years fly by without me checking the status of my blog. More than 3 years and this blog is still in the same sh*t hole as it is from where it started. It has been and still is in the web for too long now and why write a self introduction now? It is because I have never formally introduced my self in this blog. So here it comes.

Byahe Kung Saan…

2011-02-19T05:51:00.001+08:00

Minsan gusto mong lumayo at huwag tumigil dito. Dito kong saan lahat ay parang isang déjà vu nang mga nag daang panahon. Pilitin mo mang lumayo bumabalik ka pa rin kung saan ka nasasaktan at nahihirapan. Isang di mapagpalayang karanasan na di mo alam kung bakit pilit-pilit mong binabalikan at dinadama.

Gusto mong maghanap nang kausap kaya binahagi mo ang buhay mo sa taong bingi. Humingi nang payo sa taong pipi kasi di mo na alam ang gagawin. Naghanap nang sagot at deriksyon sa taong bulag na ni minsan ay di nasilayan ang sikat ng araw. Nagbakasaling i-abot sa iyo ng taong putol ang kamay ang gusto mong maabot at turuan kang mag lakad sa tamang daan ng taong lumpo.

Mali-mali ang lahat ng desisyon at tinahak na landas. Di man tama, heto tayo dinadama ang bawat tibok at pintig ng puso. Parang roller coaster na nakakahilo man ang pagsakay, isang katotohanan na alam mo na kahit di mo pa nadarama, susubukan mo parin. At kahit ngayong alam mo na ano ang pakiramdam, babalik at babalik ka parin para ma tikman ang muling pag byahe kung saan.

2011 EMO Post

2011-01-11T00:16:00.000+08:00

After a long period of hiatus, I finally got the time to blog again. With my review and classes taking most of my waking hours, I can hardly get to write something that makes sense. So many things to do so little time, so just an update now, this will be short and fast.

1. I started teaching handling business subject. One dream achieved for this year. I have always wanted to teach but I never got the chance to work on it. Ang saya nang academe industry. You get to touch young people’s lives and get to share your knowledge. I wanted to appear strict to my student pero I can’t help but be cool and kengkoy with them.

2. I started with my review again. Hirap! Parang balik elementary ako, behind sa lahat ng bagay, parang kinder lang na nakisali sa college class. Hope to reap good results this time.

Ang dami kong binago this year, ang dami kong na realize and gustong itama na mali. 2010 was a year of moving on and realization. 2011 is the year of change. I am having a very difficult time here. I made some big moves; I hope I can live with it.

“I know I can always take care of my self, but now I want someone who can prove to me that I can’t”

Tulog Muna ako Ngayon

2010-12-25T01:07:00.001+08:00

Di ako ni minsan pinilit ng nanay ko na matulog pag tanghali pero ang lola ko, OO. Kaya kasalanan ng lola ko na sobrang tangkad ko ngayon. Yung tipong pag nasa crowd ako, ako ang nagiging basis ng hanapan, landmark kung sa kalye pa. May mga perks and privileges ang pagiging tangkad may mga konting palpak lang sa gift na ito.

Ngayong pasko at malapit na mag New year, naisip ko di totoo ang paniniwala nilang kong natutulog ka sa taghali tatangkad ka, kung tatalon ka sa New Year tatangkad ka, na maswerte ang matatangkad. Kung totoo lahat ng ito di sana pandak ako kasi di ko maalala na natulog ako ni minsa sa tuwing tanghali kasi lagi akong tumatakas pag si lola ang bantay, na nagtatalon ako tuwing New year, at nasaan ang swerte ko? Di pa siguro ngayon pero sabi nga nang isang blogger “mahalaga ang ngayon”. So matutulog muna ako ngayon.

Promise di ko na gets ang post na ito.... gusto ko lang kasing ma busy kaya pinilit kong magsulat.... but it makes no sense at all.... kaya Maligayang Paskona lang sa Lahat!

September Thoughts

2010-09-14T10:54:00.000+08:00

September brings a lot of changes for me. Career, studies, life, friends and family. Everything is changing rapidly. One decision to change leading to another change. All of a sudden everything is new. I don't like where I am right now but I am hesitant about the change. I once said that if doesn't feel right then it is not right. I still live by it but this is something that feels so right yet seems so wrong.

Trust me when I say I will miss all these. I will miss everything. I just pray it was easier but it will never be easy. I know I will get by as I always have.

Sampung Perasong Ako

2010-08-24T08:04:00.003+08:00

The past few days emo ang mga status message ko. Di ko lubos maisip bakit yun lagi naiisip kong ilagay sa facebook. Inaatok ako lagi pag nasa work, gusto ko lagi akong busy but to no avail, lagi akong on relax mode.

I tried reading to get my thoughts up. Mali nga lang ang napili kong book, The Time Traveler's Wife. Mas depressing pa ang book na ito kesa sa pinaka cheesy na pinoy telenovela produced. But since I have started reading the book already, I decided to go through with it any how. I also started scanning the web for fun blogs but I think my depression is at worst case scenario already, one that even 911 could not salvage.

Since bored nanaman ang inyong abang lingkod, naisipan kong magsulat uli. Sa araw na to gusto kong eshare and 10 things about me. Ito seryoso na! Ito ang tipo ng akda which will mark my existence, yung tipong pang classic section ng library. Now let me start.

1. Miss ko na ang boulevard. Ito ang naging bahay ko for the past 24 year of my existence. Di nga lang ako maka-uwi. I always end up at PAG-IBIG where I can sleep all day.

2. Gustong gusto kong kumain ng pizza pero wala na akog enough funds.

3. I really want to watch a movie pero walang time.

4. Every time I feel so depress, I tend to eat a lot and write non-sense like what I am doing now.

5. Nung nasa Dumaguete kami, I craved for chippy with chilly cane vinegar. Bumaba ako ng hotel and bought Red Chippy and Cane vinegar from a nearby store. I tend to get what I want most of the time but the things that matters most slips out of my grip.

6. Miss ko na sila mama, papa, dalawang kuya ko at kapatid kong babae. Halos ilang buwan na rin kasi kaming di nag sasama sa dinner table.

7. I want to go to school already but I am scared that I cannot keep up with the demands and lumabas na mas bobo ako compared to my classmates.

8. I am a little confuse kung saan ba ako pupunta after the effectivity date of my resignation. Actually wala talaga akong plans except to take the CPA review and pass the exam this May. So para sa mga taong may agam-agam kung saan ako lilipat ng work, wala po talaga akong lilipatan, tambay lang.

9. I want to write more often but I can't think of proper things to write about.

10. I am hungry again, maybe related to sa depression ko ulit. As I have mentioned sa number 4.

Sa araw na ito ang daming nangyari... marami pa ang magaganap. Inaasahan kong makakatulog ako ng mahimbing pero I doubt the possibilities. Dami ko pang dapat isipin at sana lang maging okay ang lahat. Gusto kong sipain ang mukha ko para mag ka injury, maglagay ng bawang sa ilalim ng kilikili ko para magka "pakiramdam-lagnat", wag kumain at ma pasma, magka sore eyes, magka chicken pox. Lahat lahat na basta lang mapanatili ko ang aking sarili sa bahay at wag ng lumabas pa. Pero teka, siguro bukas o next week kaya, wag muna ngayon. Kailagan ko pang mag trabaho. Sa ngayon, kontento na ako sa sampung perasong ako.

Quick Updates

2010-08-21T04:30:00.003+08:00

1. May agent ako~~~ Monday late siya, Tuesday absent siya, Wednesday late ng 30 minutes. To resolve the issue I decided to talk to her.

Me: Kung di ka absent late ka. May problema ba?
Agent: Wla naman Sir.
Me: Bukas wag kang aabsent or malalate kung di mapapatay kita.
Agent: Okay sir.

Kinabukasan sumakit ulo ko. Late akong pumasok sa office. Typically when I get into the office, I check my agents, floor walk kung baga. So I decided to check on her to see how things are going.

Me: O, Kumusta? Di ka na late?
Agent: I was 30 minutes early for my shift and you are very late.
Me: Futah with an F ka!

Pero natawa lang naman ako. Alam ko biro lang yun. :)

Lesson: Practice what you preach.

2. Umutang ako para sa isang kaibigang in need daw urgently ang money. Ako naman si Mr. Supportive na nakatangap ng Most helpful award nung kinder eh looked for a way to raise the money he needed. Ang gago, pinautang lang sa iba ang perang inutang sa akin na inutang ko lang din. Another Futah with an F!

Lesson: Lahat ng sobra masama. Kahit pa pagiging mabait ito.

3. Ito ang mga lessons na natutunan ko for the past few weeks na hindi ako nakapag blog.

"Matutong magpatawad kahit di nagsosorry ang may kasalanan. Kasi minsang di sapat ang sorry at walang makakapagpahilom ng sama ng loob mo."

"Maging passive kung kailangan. Stop worrying too much."

"Wag manloko ng tao kung ayaw mong maloko"

"Ang paghahambing sa sarili laban sa ibang tao ay mabuti lamang kung NEGATIBONG parte ng buhay ang paksa."

"Maging masaya ka araw-araw. Walang pakialam ang ibang tao kung malungkot ka. Ikaw ang talo kung di ka masaya wala kang bearing sa life ng iba"

"Minsan ang pag inom ng Red Horse mag-isa ay mabuting exercise para sa braso at spiritu"

"Hindi lahat ng masama ay masama."

"Ang pag-ibig ay parang swimming pool, nakakalunod. Kung ayaw mong makabasa ng iba, wag mag dive. Kung ayaw mong malunod dun ka lang sa mababaw. Kung di ka marunong lumangoy dun ka sa kiddies pool kung saan safe ka, di ka malulunod. Yun nga lang walang thrill, di masasanay sa lalim ng tubig at wala kang improvement."

4. Minsan kailangang maging masama ang ugali mo. Di naman to mahirap para sa akin. Sadya namang masama ang ugali ko.

5. Promise! susubukan kong magsulat ng mas madalas ngayon. Susubukan ko.

6. Tama pala... Nagbakasyon kami nila Juvy, Kokong, Rocky and Sandy sa Dumaguete. Nag side trip kami sa Siquijor pero kami nina Juvy at Kokong lang while Rocky and Sandy went to Baguio. This will require another entry... coming soon.

Off to Dumaguete

2010-08-06T04:07:00.002+08:00

Wheee... few hours from now we will be heading off to Dumaguete... amping hurot...!

Thinking While I am Drunk

2010-07-10T19:43:00.002+08:00

... Wish I have a drinking mate right here right now
... Wish that the show on TV is not MMK, it makes me sad even more
... Wish I have some one to talk to
... Wish I was not this sad
... To hell with wishes and what could have been
... Just a though while I am drunk

Applying Facebook Rules

2010-07-07T17:44:00.000+08:00

For social media marketers like us, facebook is the root of our career. We sleep and wake up according to facebook rules. We play by the admin rules and follow the admin standards of anti spamming. Here are some rules in facebook one should live by.

1.Do not add too many friends all at once or you will end up losing all of them. We might get too excited to start a new friendship or connection that we don't notice we are doing it beyond what is normal. So be safe with friend adding.

2.Accept friends who are REAL. Reject and restrict unwanted people into your personal space. Learn to say no.

3.If you have to engage in a marketing activity, create dummy accounts. The dummy accounts should have consistent information, reliable details and realistic facts. In this way, we get to engage in a marketing activity without jeopardizing our personal account.

4.Entertain, be creative, make your facebook space your own. Create a window of your life through facebook. Learn, teach, imagine, brag, be anyone you want to be but never use facebook as a space to belittle somebody or to show off something that is not and cannot happen. You may post shout outs but never ever mention or tag somebody out of anger. Don't fight with someone using facebook. You will create a circus and end up making fun of your self.

5.Lastly, keep all things private. Details should only be shown to friends and not to friends of friends who could be your enemy.

Facebook is supposed to be fun. Life as well is supposed to be fun. Why not let it serve its purpose?

fireworks and wishes

2010-06-21T20:12:00.005+08:00

Kung totoo na sa bawat wish sa ilalim ng blasting fireworks ,magkakatotoo ang lahat ng hiling ng isang tao, hindi sana ganito ka hirap ang lahat ng ito. Sana instant cure ang firecrakers sa bawat wish. Sana ganun kadali. Pero hindi eh.

This is the reason why as much as possible, I try to avoid being here. Sabi nga nila, sa dinamidami ng choices ko bakit I prefer a more complicated and difficult path? I know I have an answer to this, a concrete and valid answer. One that convinced me for the longest time that I am right. I always think I am right but often I doubt my line of thinking. Still, every waking hour of my life feeling ko tama ako.

Oprah once said, "If it doesn't feel right, then it is not right". But what if feeling is not enough? What if feeling requires thinking? What if feeling and thinking pulls you to different directions? Who would prevail? Logic that dictates the society of what is right and wrong or your feeling that deviates from logic?

At the end I realized, I am a logical person. One who would rather choose to do what I think is right rather than let my feelings prevail. "I am a mind over heart person" I say to myself though my feeling tells me something else.

This is one of those days. I should be an expert on this, been through this many times before but it never seems to get easier every time I have to decide.

Pag Ako Namatay...

2010-05-25T19:17:00.003+08:00

Sa uri ng pamumuhay ko, di malayong maaga akong bibisita kay Lord. Alam ko tumayo ang balhibong kulot at patay nyo nung e mention ko na kay Lord ako bibisita. Hayaan nyo na po akong mag pantasya, ako naman ang mamamtay eh. Kung gusto nyo, kayo ang mamatay at kayo na rin ang mag blog.

May tatlong bagay akong gustong mangyari at ayaw mangyari pag ako namatay. Dito ko ilalahad ang mga bagay na yun. Kaya sa mga gusto na akong patayin at sa mga nagpadala ng death threat sa akin, para sa inyo to. Sana naman ay wag kayong masyadong brutal at hayaan nyo nang matupad ang mga gusto ko bago paman ako pag pyestahan ng mga earthworms. Consider this as my last wish.

Ito ang mga ayaw ko:

1. Ayaw kong mamatay dahil sa disgraysa lalo na sa sasakyan. Ayaw kong masagasaan ng jeep, kotse, truck, or arko sa prosisyon. Ayoko yung mamamatay na lang ako sasabihan pa akong tanga.

Tao 1: Oi, patay na si Adz
Tao 2: Talaga? Anong nangyari?
Tao 1: Nasagasaan ng Lawin na Jeep byaheng Toril.
TAo 2: Sayang. Di kasi nag-iingat eh.

Lumabas na ako ang tanga sa istorya diba. This is not a wise way to die.

2. Pag aattend kayo ng lamay ko, wag flowers dalhin nyo kasi di ako mahilig dun. Wag foods, kayo lang din kakain nun. Wag condolence, di lahat ng tao malungkot na patay na ako. Cash na lang kasi wala akong savings para sa aking pagkamatay. Masyado pa akong nageenjoy na buhay at di pa ako nakapaghanda para sa aking pagkamatay. Ang di susunod sa hiling na to ay susunod sa akin. HALAKA!

3. Wag na wag nyong sasabihing "Sayang si Adz, mabait pa naman yun". Ang plastik nyo. Please lang! patay na ang tao, wag nyo nang plastikin. Kung nung buhay pa ako ay di ko naririnig yan at puro panlilibak ang nasasambit nyo, wag nyo nang bawiin kasi patay na ako. Okay lang yan sa mga drug adik na nagbago, mga rapist na nagsisi at sa mga magnanakaw na nagpapako sa krus. Wag na ako, wala akong balak magbago, wala akong balak na magsisi at lalong wala akong balak na magpapako sa krus.

Ito ang gusto ko:

1. Mamatay na may danggal. Yung BIDA ako, yung tipong ako ang nagsalba sa mga tao. Yung talagang bida sa tunay na buhay. Example:

- May granada. Puputok na. Maraming tao. Nagkakagulo. Ako ang malapit sa granada. Dumapa ako sa granada. Patay ako, buhay lahat ng nasa paligid. Ganda ng eksena diba? pang Cannes Festival. Pang Cinemalaya. Pang pelikula. Pang teleserye.

- May mahuhulog na bakal. Bata ang tatamaan. Tatakbo ako at itutulak ang bata. Safe ang bata, patay ako. Bida ako, tanga ang magulang ng bata, di marunong mag alaga. What a noble way to die. To die for the sake of others.

Marami pa yan. Nasa isip ko lahat. Ayaw kong isulat lahat dito baka may gumaya.

2. Gusto ko party sa burol ko. Ayon sa isang taga TEAM HADZ, happy-happy, kompleto ang barkada, maaliwalas ang lugar, masarap ang foods. Tipong ganun. Parang nagteam building lang ang team ko. Tipong nagvivideo-oke lang kami nila Juvy at kokong with draft beer on the side habang bumibirit si kokong ng bed of roses. Walang iyakan para enjoy lahat. Minsan lang ako magpaparty. Una nung May 2 na birthday ko kinabukasan at sa susunod sa lamay ko. Galing noh? Bakit kamo? ang gastos kaya! Atleast sa burol ko lahat obligado magdala ng CASH. (Please refer to my ITO ANG MGA AYAW KO list item number 2)

3. Gusto ko maarte ang pagpapaalam ko. Maarte na di magastos. Ayoko ng simple libing na ilalagay ako sa hukay, may speech, tatapunan ako ng bulaklak, iiyak ang mga tao, tatabunan ako ng lupa, ipatutugtug ang hindi kita malilimutan, uuwi ang mga tao, maiiwan ang pamilya ko at malalapit na kaibigan, uulan at mababsa sila, di sila aalis hanggat di humuhupa ang ulan, uuwi sila na lumuluha at may sipon. Ang corny nun. Heto ang gusto kong eksena.

- Ilalagay ako sa balsa.
- Ipapaanod sa dagat ng Isla verde kung saan ako unang nalunod at muntik nang mamatay.
- Nakabalot ako sa puting tela.
- Habang lumalayo ang balsa, pinapana ako ng pana na may apoy sa dulo.
- Maswerte kung matatamaan ako ng pana na may apoy kung hindi malas ako kahit patay na.
- Para maiwasan ito, maghire kayo ng Philippine Team na archer. Ayokong umabot ako sa Talikod Island na di man lang napapaso. Please lang, ayusin nyo to.

Ito lang muna sa ngayon. Baka naman isipin nyong masyado akong demanding.

Bakit Annoying Si Annoying Orange?

2010-05-23T23:41:00.004+08:00

Sumikat si Annoying Orange sa team namin. Lahat sila, mula ng napanood ang annoying orange sa youtube ay naging annoying na rin. Paulit-ulit-ulit-ulit kung mag tanong. Pabalik-balik-balik-balik ang mga statement. Nakakainis, nakakainis, nakakainis talaga. Ganyan sila ka annoying.

Bakit nga ba annoying si annoying orange?

Nagtext si Annoying orange sa akin kagabi habang bumibirit ako ng kantang Mandy para di makainom ng isang damakmak na beer. Pinag igihan ko ang pagkanta pero nawala ako sa concentration kasi na awa ako kay annoying orange. Heto ang kwento nya.

Mabuting asawa si Annoying orange nung di pa siya annoying. Magpagbigay sa pamilya, hardworking at malinis sa katawan. Isang araw galing sa trabaho nadatnan niya ang bahay nila na walang tao at nagkalat ang damit ng kanyang asawa.

Pumasok siya sa kwarto at nadatnan niya ang kanyang asawa sa piling ng kanyang matalik na kaibigang si Flirt Banana. Hubot hubad sa kama nilang mag asawa.

Dahil sa sobrang galit. Inaway niya at halos mapatay ang dalawang taksil.

Naglayas si annoying orange at nagpunta sa kanyang mga kaibigan para magpalabas ng galit.

Doon niya sinubukang mag yosi.

Doon siya natutung uminon.

At maglasing.

At maging Annoying Orange.

to blog or not to blog

2010-05-23T21:09:00.001+08:00

I’ve been out from the blogsphere for more than a month. I don’t know why I can find the right words to say the things I wanted to say. So many things had transpired which were “bloggable” as I call it but words just wouldn’t come. Saying the right things sometimes is really difficult. I wanted to share so many things but I was so worried of saying it the wrong way till I forgot it already.

Wish I could promise to blog regularly but I can't. I’ve got to get my grove back.

Lagnat at Beer

2010-03-30T00:16:00.003+08:00

Sobrang sakit ng ulo ko. Sabi nila, pagiisip daw ito. Ayoko ng magisip kung ganon. Masyadong stressful, masyadong EFFORTFUL di naman fruitful.(bwahahahha) May lagnat ako for three consecutive days. Sobrang sakit ng ulo ko, I was chilling all night and day and I easily get tired. Sa sobrang talino ko, naniwala pa ako sa mga kasama ko na beer daw ang sagot sa lagnat ko. See? Nag-iisip pa ako nyan ha! Tatlong araw akong lampa at walang silbi. Opo, three days akong unproductive. Kaya magsusulat na lang ako ng mga kababawan ngayon. Kababawan at hinanakit sa mga taong wala naman talagang bearing sa life ko pero gusto ko lang gawan ng issue.

1.Sa Taong ayaw ko kahit wala naman talagang ginagawa sa akin:
- Wag mo nang subukang halikan ang pwet ko. Galit ako sayo at di na magbabago yun. Di ko alam kung ano at bakit ayaw na ayaw ko sa pagmumukha mo basta ang alam ko ayoko lang talaga.

2.Sa taong dapat kong kalimutan:
- Bigyan mo ko ng konti lang namang panahon na maunawaan kung gaano kahirap at kalaki ng epekto sa buhay ko ang tangalin ka sa listahan ng mga taong mahalaga sa akin. Sa iilang beses na magkasama tayo, OO! Napatawa at napasaya mo ako. Sana lang naman makaramdan ako ng konting pagdududa at panghihinayang na di kana ganon ka halaga sa akin. Sana lang naman, di ako ganito ka sigurado na di nga kita kailangan.

3.Para kay P. A. at mga kasapi niya:
- Kung nagkatawang tao si Satanas, malamang ikaw yun. Medyo sigurado na ako na ikaw nga ang anak ng Dyablo na nag anyong tao para maghasik ng lagim sa sangkatauhan. Ang hilig mong angkinin ang paruri pero ayaw mong tangapin ang critisismo. Sa dami ng ginagawa mo, di mo napapansin na wala kang ginagawa. Wag kang mag alala, di ko ipapakita sa iyo ang anyong Lucifer ko dahil kung nagka ganon wala na tayong pinag iba.

4.Para sa kanya:
- May mga bagay na ang gara subukan. Parang pagsakay sa SEA DRAGON ng MARYROSE, ang sarap panoorin pero nakakahilo pag actual na andun kana sa ride. Yung tipong gusto mo lang subukan kahit alam mo nakakatakot. Gusto mong alamin ang feeling na naka upo ka sa lugar kung saan ang daming sumisigaw at tumatawa. Yung tipong gusto mo nang ipatigil ang ride pero ayaw mong sabihin ng malakas kasi akala mo kaya mo pa at bago mo pa naibulalas na ayaw mo na nga, naunahan kana ng operator. “Your 5 minute fun ride is up”. FUN nga ba siya? Hindi ba nasayang ang panahon mo? Yang ang mga tanong na ayaw mong sagutin kasi ayaw mong malaman ang sagot. Alam ko, kasi ayaw ko ring malaman yan sa ngayon.

GRAND ESSENTIALS of happiness

2010-03-20T03:24:00.003+08:00

The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

Allan K. Chalmers

Here is my answer to those who are questioning my smile. I think I have all the GRAND ESSENTIALS of happiness. I couldn't ask for more in this life and if given a chance to do things all over again, I would still choose to live the life I am living right now (plus a little addition).

Heto ang mga dahilan kung balik maaliwalas ang ngiti ng inyong abang lingkod:

SOMETHING TO DO:

Sa dami ng dapat at pwede kong gawin, di nakapagtatakang masaya ako. Minsang nga lang nagiging dahilan siya for me to feel otherwise but still it gives me a reason to wake up early and sleep late. So, being busy is not a bad idea after all. With my job, friends to keep up with, up coming schooling and a family to take care off, I have my hands full. But they are the reason for my living and being. Masaya ako na may ginagawa ako for the people I care the most.

Sa isang interview:

Panel: What can you do for the community?
Me: Love the people around me. My family and friends.
Panel: Could you please explain.
Me: I think it is more noble to love the people around you than to embrace the whole world. Taking care of them is SOMETHING I should do. If I can't show my care and love to those who made me who I am now, I think I wouldn't be able to do it to the whole world.
Panel: The award goes to you! (lol)

SOMETHING TO LOVE:

Di kailangan romantic ang usapan pag love ang topic. Minsan okay na tayo sa tawa with family, kulitan with friends, biruan with your team, idle times sa work, food trip, movie marathon. Pero OPO, masaya ako na may bonus ako sa buhay. Di kailangang kapantay nang expectation mo ang pagmamahal na natatangap mo, at least may dahilan para tumawa ka mag isa, ang ngumiti sa simpleng text message at pangungumusta. Tama na yun para sa akin. Tama na ang isang IKAW.

SOMETHING TO HOPE FOR:

Marami akong gustong gawin, marami akong gustong tapusin. Sa dami ng dapat at hindi dapat para sa akin nalilito pa ako kung ano ang next move. Nagiisip ako kung dapat ba, kelan ba at kung tama ba. Sa ngayon, masaya ako kasi alam ko may pupuntahan ang lahat ng ito.

Wala Lang

2010-03-12T17:22:00.007+08:00

Minsang pag wala kang magawa sa buhay...
Trip mo lang kunan ng litrato lahat ng bagay...
Gusto mo bigyan ng halaga lahat ng pwede mong bigyan ng halaga...
Lahat may quotes...
Lahat may meaning...
Kahit simpleng bato nagkakabuhay...
Kahit simpleng tula parang sobrang profound na ng meaning...
Kahit twinkle-twinkle lang may puso at diwa na...

Di ko alam kung bakit parang high ako sa drugs this past few days...
For no particular reason... masaya ako...
Pagod man at medyo puyat...
Di matatagong medyo iba na ligaw ng bituka ko...
Am I just excited to go back to school?
or Am I just happy to have finally made a decision about the career path I would like to take?
I don't know... basta alam ko OKAY ako...
Di ko kailangang malaman ang ibang bagay...
OKAY na ako sa ganito ka simple lang...

Note:

Alam ko walang kinalaman ang picture sa taas sa entry na ito. Yan kasi ang bagong profile picture ko sa facebook. Wala ring kinalaman ang quote sa picture to the picture itself. Basta parang wala lang talaga.

"Do you know that "wala lang" is a subconscious way of saying I LOVE YOU? Do you know why I am telling you this? WALA LANG" -----(whahahahah... soooo 2nd year high school)

You have the ability to lure people with your tempting smile and charisma. You know you are smart, sexy, rich and beautiful (I am being paid to say this) but you lack the ability to choose the right kind of relationship to step into. You have this innate magnet for the wrong people at the wrong place and time. Everything in you is so aligned but when it comes to matters of the heart you often fail to see logic.

Falling and wishing you never did is a cycle in your system. You jump into every relationship and wish you never did. Every time you fall, you fall literally and every time it happens you hurt your ass and still ask for more. I say you are sadistic. You like hurting your self every time you see an opportunity. You walk into a blank wall and bump your head right into the dashboard that is supposed to protect you from getting another bruise. Stupid as it may seem, you like scratching the wound to make it bleed one more time and when it starts to bleed you panic. But after all has been said and done you start all over again.

You want a piece of me?

- Love yourself. It is not so difficult to ask.
- Live an uncomplicated life. You need thrill once in a while but it doesn't make sense if you are living a life of fear.
- If a relationship has to be a secret then you shouldn't be on it.
- Live life, love, laugh and be merry. You don't need sorrow to stay alive.

End of Hiatus

2010-03-10T07:24:00.003+08:00

After a long Hiatus I have finally decided to get back to blogging. I know I have not been able to post anything since December of 2009 but I promise to catch up for the lost moments. Just an update.

- I am now working full time for the call center handling a non voice account on social media and Internet marketing. From accounting to call center, how is that for a career change?

- So many things had happened after my last post. Met new people, had new friends, built a new team, been sleeping here and there (literally, just sleeping). It was a roller coaster ride. Short, adventurous and fun but I bowed never to take the same flight again. Not just yet... not sooner.

- I feel so tired and stressed. I feel the need to rant about everything for the sake of ranting about it. I feel like punching someones face till their nose break. I feel like smashing the plates and plastic wares at home. But I feel so tired to do all those things I'd rather sleep.

- New opportunities are coming my way and I have to make a decision fast.

- I might enroll for my Masters this semester. Choosing between MBA Corporate Management (USEP) of Masters in Management (UP Mindanao). What you think?

If you are familiar with a kit that can be bought from a drug store with a cost ranging Php 50.oo to Php 127.50 (Mercury Drug Store), you know what the title of this post suggest.

Got any idea? here are some clues.

1. It will show one or two lines after 3 minutes waiting time.
2. It is nerve wrecking experience.
3. Life altering.

Pictures @ Home

2009-07-27T11:26:00.006+08:00

I took some random snap shot last weekend. It was a gloomy Sunday in Davao and I just went home to check on my mom and dad when the urge to take pictures for the day took over.

I don't know if I have mentioned this before but we actually live beside the shoreline where most of my neighbors earn a living through fishing. Isla Verde as popularly known is an Island not known in the map of the Philippines, if so that would make out for the 7,108th island in our country. I honestly don't know if it is included in the map of the Philippines in a National level. It disappears during high tide and appears at low tide where the gravitational pull of the moon is lesser, but due to some improvements made for Isla Verde, we experience less high tide now compared to 5 years ago.

I went to the barber shop last Sunday. After my super boring session with Mr. Barber, I went out feeling refreshed and hilarious. I never looked this way in years. The last time I cut my hair too short was 2 years ago. I feel okay but I still get those questioning look even after a week of having a new look.

Varied reactions.
"what was he thinking?" thoughts everywhere
You look fat in your new hair!
why?

I will do a series of flashback entries in the coming days. I just have to upload the photos I've gathered for my new project. I'm super excited!

I have started attending a new class for commercial cookery. It's great actually plus the fact that the whole class is for free. No registration fee, no payment for the ingredients, nadda what so ever. Last time, the preparatory class was a computer class on MS Word and MS Powerpoint.

I am not just a big boy. I am a super fat boy now.

You promised me
You said I'd be the first to know...
You said we would celebrate together...
You never said it would never happen...
but you promised to make me a part of it...
I should have known better
promises are made to be broken
especially if it is a promise from you..

and now you're far away
so glad you left

I Don't Know You Anymore

2009-07-09T19:01:00.005+08:00

This is the first and the last time that I will write about this Sh*t. This entry is full of sh*t, it stinks like a septic tank but I am posting it anyway.

It all started 10 years ago. He was new to the whole private school scenario and he was alone. On the corner of the classroom he saw a girl who looked so familiar, lonely and alone as he was. She was familiar because they used to bump into each other in some events, they lived in the same world, they clicked from then on.

They started an unnamed relationship. It was unidentified and unmarked, nothing whatsoever. Together they dreamed of making it to the list of Forbes riches people, together they soared high, together they laughed at uncanny things normal people wouldn't laugh at, together they stayed. People often would ask them if they were an item, no they were not. Their bond is more than any one could imagine and if it were a landmark, it would have passed as the 7th wonder of the new world.

They had rough times along the way. And now they are still at it. This maybe the toughest test of the 10 year roller coaster ride. She may have forgotten but this is history repeating it self. 7 years ago they were at the same spot, the spot that made Tork and Martha resign from the group. They were young then, it looked cute, funny and forgettable, but not now, not after 7 years.

He is not talking to her anymore, “silence is the best revenge” he said.

She is not talking to him anymore. She maybe afraid of rejection or is just pissed off of him giving himself too much credit to interfere with her life. She said “I am old enough, I know what I am doing”

With that he left leaving no footprints behind. Nothing, not even a hint that they know each other. Maybe 10 years ago would have been better setting for this. They would shout at each other when they fight, misunderstandings were always made known to the populace, everybody would have a say and at the end of the day everything would be okay. But 10 years ago is long gone, we now have our pride as big as Mt. Fuji and I don't bend down when its not my fault. You may remain oblivious of what you did and how you disappoint me.

Lastly, let me remind you of the day I defended you when Clark and Jane asked you to choose between us and him whose name should not be mentioned. I told them not to do it because making a choice is always difficult (at least that choice). Maybe I did that because I don't want to hear you choosing him over us and I should have hinted that the day would come when making a choice is all you should do.

Don't worry.... when I see your name at the second spot of Forbes Magazine list of richest people in the world, I will smile, because by then I will be on the number one spot...bwahahahah

Night out with College Friends

2009-07-07T12:21:00.012+08:00

Last Friday me and my college friends went out of our busy lives to enjoy a night together. With no clear agenda, no event to celebrate, no reason for getting together, a text was broadcasted and calls were made.

We had dinner at Pronto Mario. The food was great as usual plus we get to annoy other customers when we started playing word factory before and after eating.

(photos from Davao Food Trip)

I have visited Pronto Mario a dozen of times but I always forget to take a snapshot.

Mental note to do it the next time I visit.

After our dinner we went to Gmik for our usual videoke and drinking session. Though we had to squeeze in a small room and deal with the "not so efficient" AC unit, we, never-the-less had a blast.

Heto na! Parang kape to na 3-in-1, di nga lang instant at di mainit kasi medyo late ang post na to. Sumakit ang batok ko sa dami ng gastos at dapat gawin for this week. Pero sa halip na mag trabaho na, heto ako at nagsusulat ng entry para sa blog ko. OO, masamang empleyado ako, yung tipong gagamitin ang computer ng office para gumawa at magsulat ng blog pero kumpara naman sa mga magnanakaw sa kaban ng bayan angel parin ako. By-the-way dami na nga palang renovation at reconstruction ng daan ngayon, siguro kasi malapit na ang eleksyon. Pakitang gilas nanaman ang mga politynaks.

So update lang to ng mga ginawa ko. Highlight lang kasi ang dami ko na kasing ginawa sa buhay ko in just one week.

1. Bumili ako ng bagong phone MyPhone T12 Duo ang binili ko. Di naman kasi ako masyadong mahilig sa phone eh. Tama na sa akin ang phone na nakakatext, nakakatawag, may camera ng kahit di kagandahan ay pwedeng ilipat sa PC para pang blog ang mga pictures. OO, mababaw akong tao. Pero promise pag nag labas ng cellphone na may CR bibili ako at ipamumudmud ko sa sambayanang pinoy para diko na mabasa uli ang signs na tulad ng “Bawal umihi dito! Hindi ka Aso” or “Maliit ang titi ng mga taong di alam kung saan dapat umihi”

2. Nag punta kami sa Tagum kahapon. Kalapit na city lang ang Tagum ng Davao, 1 hour ride lang. Binisita nami ang mga relatives namin dun. Nagbayad utang din ako sa ina-anak ko na anak din ng pinsan ko. Di kasi ako naka attend ng birthday party niya. Alam nyo naman ako. Busy. Sakto naman na hasvest season pala ng mga gulay kahapon. Yung tipong ilalagay ka sa gitna ng halamanan at ikaw na lang ang magharvest tapos bayaran mo lang ang na harvest mo. Sobrang excited ako kasi virgin pa ako sa paghaharvest ng gulay. May kamatis, talong, ampalaya, upo, patola, okra, radish, cucumber, at kung ano-ano pang gulay na sa kantang bahay kubo mo lang maririnig. Naka arrange ang farm aphabetically ayong sa pangalan ng gulay (joke!). Ang dami kong nabili. Sobrang excited kasi ako umabot ng isang sako ang nabili kong gulay. Narealize ko na sobrang bigat na ngdadalhin ko pauwi ng Davao at ako lang mag isa ang mag-aala Hercules. Wrong move.

Ang pinaka enjoy na part sa tanang experience na ito ay ang paghaharvest ng kamatis, bayaran at tawaran. Sa kamatisan kasi, nag patulong na ako kasi sobrang kati na ng balat ko from the previous harvest. Sobrang bilis nilang mag harvest, 5 is to ½ ang ratio. Limang kamatis palang napipitas ko ½ kilo na sila. Sa tawaran naman kahit tig sampung piso lang ang kilo ng gulay puwede ka pang ask ng libreng additional gulay.

Sa dulo ng harvesting season namin, nakabili ako ng halos isang sakong gulay sa halagang 240 pesos only. May libreng half kilo pa yun ng upo, cucumber at isang kalabasa na malaki. Hindi ko pa na mention ang mga sobrang tig iisang guhit na kilo ng gulay (ngayon ay na mention ko na) for free. Sayang lang at di ko na kompleto ang gulay sa bahay kubo.

Ang mga kamatis na hilaw.
Dahil gusto ni Juvy ng hilaw na kamatis para crunchy daw.

Sila.... habang nagpapaligsahan ng may pinakamaraming mapitas na kamatis

Cucumber.... infant stage pa alng yan.

Upo.... opo.... upo...

Bulaklak... ewan

3. Ang tagal bago kami naka sakay ng bus pauwi sa Davao. Yung tipong pwede ka pang magliwaliw sa Italya bago dumating ang bus na dadaan sa boulevard.

Sa bus, katabi ko ang isang lalaki na parang nagcoconcert sa lakas nang boses. Ang lakas din nang music niya, di tuloy ako mapakag concentrate sa binabasa kong Bob Ong book. Sa wakas at napagod siya sa kakakanta ng wala sa tuno. Nakatulog sa performance, subalit ilang sandali lang ang lumipas nag hilik nanaman ang mokong. Sh*t! Ang lakas humilik di na nahiya. Bukas-baba pa kong matulog ang gago.

Heto siya.

[sorry... panakaw lang kasi ang kuha ng picture na to..]

A gallon of milk for Fathers

2009-06-23T07:45:00.006+08:00

Di ako magaling mag sulat ng movie review pero susubukan ko parin.

Me and my friends went out for a movie last saturday. I was eyeing on DRAG ME TO HELL pero they insisted on TAKING OF PELHAM 123. Minsan kasi we have this thing for bad movie choices na hindi nakakatuwa. This time around I would say, I enjoyed the movie. Armed with isang sack of chips and chichirya, one bottle of C2 iced tea red apple, off we went to watch PELHAM 123.

Heto ang story. May isang Walter Garber (Denzel Washinton), he mans the subway traffic system. Yung tipong siya ang traffic management control head ng mga train para di sila mag collide. He makes sure that the subway is running smoothly with out any problem. Sure di tayo maka relate, why? First walang subway sa Davao, second kung meron man I doubt if may system same with what I saw sa movie. Okay, so the story started just like any other ordinary day sa life ng isang Walter Garber. Tapos parang isang typical na pinoy movie, may mga adik looking guys na ipapakita sa film. You would know na something terrible is going to happen just by looking at them. After a few minutes in the film, yun na, hijacking na ng subway train at ang leader ng kaguluhang ito ay si Ryder played by John Travolta. May 19 passengers sila, ransom was 10,000,000 USD in cash to be given with in an hour if not one hostage will be killed every minute na mag lapse. Ayaw nila in any other form, dapat cash. Apat silang hostage taker silang lahat namatay at the end of the movie. Ganon lang kadali ang story ng movie but the way the actors portrayed it and the drama before the end of the story was something.

Gaber by the way is under investigation for accepting bribe from Japanese contractors. During the movie, he admitted guilty of the crime to save the buhay of isang hostage. He admitted he took the bribe and used it to pay the tuition of his kids. May isang part where he was asked to bring the ransom money to Ryder at the subway station. When he informed his wife about this ,his wifey got worried and started a drama scene na super cheesy. At that point his wife asked him to bring a gallon of milk on his way home, she asked him to make a promise to bring the milk and he did. Its not really about the gallon of milk, it was the promise to come home safe.

Sa aking palagay, maganda ang movie, nagustohan ko ang movie and was not sad na hindi ko napanuod ang drag me to hell.

P.S.

Belated happy Father's Day nga pala sa lahat ng mga daddy, tatay, tatay-nanay, lolo at sa lahat ng mga ama. Yung tipong okay lang magpakahirap para mabigyan ng magandang kinabukasan ng mga anak nila. Yung mga tatay na handang gawin ang lahat para sa pamilya nila. Yung tulad ng tatay ko.

At dahil wala akong maisulat na medyo maganda for today I am giving you a glimpse of my everyday life. The series of events does not always go this way. I try to change it from time to time but generally, ganito talaga life ko.

Wake up
take a taxi or jeepney to office
(snapshot of my usual route to office)
Since change schedule na ako
4am to 1pm na ang office hours ko
medyo iba na to ngayon
medyo madilim pa at di pa sumisikat si haring araw sa tunay na storya
pero ito parin ang route

Hallway of our building
When you enter the office vicinity
this is the view that will greet you
(old photo taken before 2008 Christmas break)
(read the title, it says old Random pics)

The Accounting office/Aquarium
Inside the fish tank
Allan, me, and occasionally Ibyang and Djan

Lunch at Mang Manok
Jason (former trainer) and the famous Mang Manok Halo-halo
Most of the time kina ate thelma kami kumakain
STARBOKS ang tawag namin sa kainan nila.

Ice cold Red Horse at BBQ Boss
Great way to end a day
medyo relax muna kami sa inuman now
kaya miss ko na to.

Dami na kayang nag labasan na free text using the net. Nauna ang chikka pero in the long run nagkaroon ng limits ang mga text messages na pwedeng ipadala using chikka so di na naging unlimited.

Just today, I chanced upon a blog JUST MY PERSONAL OPINIONS and thanks to him, may source na naman ako ng free unlimited text on-line. How long will TXT-ZONE.COM last? I don't really know but I tried it personally and it is very easy to use so I intend to use it as long as it is serviceable.

After mo mag send ng message... may lalabas na YOUR MESSAGE HAS BEEN SEND. Bahala na nga basta libre siya. I'm not even sure if this is legal so it is still up to you if you want to use it. Ako, kasi kakarampot lang ang savings ko kaya doon muna ako sa libre not until may magsponsor sa aking ng load.

Bob Ong the Best!

2009-06-18T05:35:00.005+08:00

When I saw the CHEESY commercial ni Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz, promise natawa ako. Kaaway ko na ata ang TV ngayon kasi most of the time nasa room lang ako natutulog, nakaharap sa PC or kaya naglalaro ng secret.... -mischievous smile- Ngunit, subalit, datapwa ang commercial ni Bea at John Lloyd na nagpagulong at nagpahalakhak sa akin ang nagbalik sa tiwala ko sa TV commercials. Maihahanay ko na ang commercial nila sa PA-BURGER ng McDo at Nido Big Boy. Minsan mas masayang panuorin ang commercials kesa sa palabas mismo.

Kung nakakaaliw lang naman ang pag-uusapan, may tatalo pa ba kay pareng Bob Ong? Ngayon ang Cheesy at nakaka-aliw ay pinag isa niya, di nga lang siya patalastas sa TV pero ginamit siya for commercial. Sundan kung anong linya nanaman ang gagamitin sa susunod na mga commercials na lalabas.

Ni lathala ni Pareng Bob Ong:

Dear Bob Ong,

Matagal ko na pong nililigawan itong ramp model na stage actress na nakilala ko recently sa isang party. Nasisiraan na ako ng bait. Pag nakilala mo siya, tiyak matutunaw ang utak mo sa kakaisip sa kanya.

Hingi lang po ako ng advice. Paano ko po siya mapapaibig? Bibigyan ko ba siya ng tula? Haharanahin ko ba siya? Roses? Kalachuchi? Chocnut at sampaguita?

Lubos na gumagalang,

Bartolome

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

ANG REPLY

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

Dear Bartolome,

Hindi ka talaga sasagutin niyang nililigawan mo. Napaka-old school kasi ng mga tactics mo. Wala nang gumagawa ng ganyan. Sa panahon ngayon, lahat ng bagay, nagtaas na. Nagtaas na ang gasolina, nagtaas na ang presyo ng bigas at mga bilihin, nagtaas na ang pamasahe, at lalong nagtaas na rin ng standards ang mga babae. Hindi na uubra yang siopao at kalachuci mo. Lalo na yung huli mong binigay, hopia at santan. Ano ba pare? Ano’ng era ka ba pinanganak?

Pero don’t worry. It’s not too late. May pag-asa ka pa. Hindi pa naman siya kinakasal at di pa niya sinasagot yung crush niya na basketball player. Kahit lamang siya ng sampung paligo sa’yo, daanin mo sa utak at creativity. Dahil aminin na natin, iyon na lang talaga ang pag-asa mo. Heto, bibigyan kita ng mga simple, tried and tested na mga regalo para di siya mapurga sa hopia at siomai. Sundin mo ‘to, tiyak na lalaglag ang bagang niya sa’yo. Mga medyo more than your usual regalong panligaw:

1. Bili ka ng century tuna. Ilagay mo sa isang napakalaking box—yung sinlaki ng TV o kaya box ng desktop PC mo. Tapos balutan mo ng magarang pambalot. Kuntsabahin mo na yung teacher niya sa Calculus. Sa gitna ng klase, bigla kang kumatok sa classroom. Pero dapat, incognito ka. Magsuot ka ng LBC jacket, magshades, at magsuot ng surgical mask. Pagpasok mo sa classroom, iabot mo yung box sa teacher, at papirmahin mo ng acknowledgement receipt. Tapos pabuksan mo in front of everyone. Tignan mong mabuti ang reaction sa mukha niya.

Later during the day, pag tinanong niya kung bakit Century Tuna ang binigay mo, iikot mo yung lata at ituro mo yung sign na “Omega 8.” Pag tinanong niya kung ano yung Omega 8, sabihin mo: “because you’re good for my heart.”

2. Mangolekta ka ng isang dosenang hanger na libre mong nakukuha tuwing nagpapa-dry clean ka. Tapos, sa bawat hanger, isulat mo: “I miss hanging out with you.”

3. Instead of roses, kuha ka ng tissue paper sa banyo ng school mo. Gawin mong tissue paper roses. Gawa ka ng isang dosena. Pag-abot mo, sabihin mo, “Ganito kalinis ang pag-ibig ko sa’yo.”

4. Bili ka ng tetra pack ng mantikang Minola. Tapos bilugan mo yung “with Omega 8.” Hindi na siya magtatanong kung bakit.

5. Bigyan mo ng ice cream cone. Dapat cone lang at walang ice cream. Pag hinanap niya yung ice cream, sabihin mo, “natunaw na kakatitig sa’yo.”

6. Bili ka ng sandosenang box ng crayola. Kolektahin mo lahat ng black. Lagay mo sa isang box ng crayola. Sa likod, isulat mo: “Walang kulay ang buhay kung wala ka.”
7. Bigyan mo siya ng mumurahing bumbilya. Alam mo na siguro by this time kung ano ang isasagot pag tinanong niya kung bakit. (para sa mga hindi maka-“gets”, kapag tinanong ka, ang sagot mo ay, “sapagkat, ikaw lamang ang tanging ilaw at liwanag sa buhay ko”, o kaya naman ay, “you light up my life”…

8. I-text mo siya ng: “Hindi tayo tao, hindi tayo hayop, hindi tayo halaman. Bagay tayo. Bagay!”

9. Bigyan mo siya ng calling card ng MMDA. Sa likod, isulat mo “para pag nagkabanggaan ang puso natin.”

10. Padalhan mo ng Happy Meal pero huwag mong ibibigay yung libreng laruan. Paghinanap niya, sabihin mo: “Ako yung freebie, at ikaw yung meal na nagpapahappy sa’kin.”

11. Sunugin ang kanyang bahay at padalhan ng hallmark card: "aanhin mo pa ang bahay mo, kung matagal ka nang nakatira sa puso ko"

12. Pagatapos sunugin ang kanyang bahay, padalhan siya ng isang box ng posporo, Guitar brand. unahan ang kanyang galit at sabihin, "ayan ang posporo na ginamit ko sa pagsunog ng iyong bahay, match na tayo"

13. Sa kalagitnaan ng isang malupit na bagyo, pasalubungan sya ng "salbabida", wag payong, o mainit na mami. Pag nagtanong bakit? ang isagot mo ay " ayaw kong malunod ka sa pag mamahal ko."

14. Pag pumayag na siyang makipagdate, dalhin mo siya sa canteen at huwag bibitawan ang kamay. Pag tinanong niya kung bakit, ituro mo yun sign na “don’t leave your valuables unattended”

Handang tumulong lagi,

BOB ONG

May feeling akong kulang-kulang ang ninakaw kong copy ng sulat ni Bartolome. Pero di yun ang main event so as the song goes "let it be, let it be, let it be.... oh let it be.... speaking words of wisdom... let it be.... ohhh yeah"

A conversation

2009-06-17T08:36:00.005+08:00

A friend of mine who is in Cebu right now, trying her luck as a servant for all taxpayer, violently reacted on my YM status message. As our usual chat session would go, it went somewhere along nowhere. This time we touched issues of world concern, entertainment, politics, world health issues and the usual backstabbing/hinaway and tawa trips.

I'm Back!

2009-06-17T05:03:00.005+08:00

After a very long hiatus I have finally decided to come back. I have been absent for almost two months now and I miss my blog. I have been swamped up by reports and extra curricular activities that even my desire to write about all the things that had happened in the past months was consumed. Just an update here:

I was finally transferred to 6-11, a sister company of e-Academy, a school that I have worked for for more than a year now. Nothing has changed, I'm still using the same computer unit and still stationed at the same working place at the same office (how is that for a transfer?). Well, I'm not complaining, I'd say I am happy with how things are going.

Note: Research on “Sister company” thing. Why not use brother company for a change?
Me and the gang moved to new house. We are renting a 2 bedroom house for a very cheap rent. It is our happy place, abundant with food and chocolates, with cable and Internet connection and fun people. The renovation and repainting paid off. We are still adjusting and testing the waters though.

Note: The bills for the utility is so expensive plus our food supply is so costly. Whew! Never thought living independently would be so expensive. Now I know how my parents feel.
I am starting to adore Korean series. Thanks to ibyang who introduced me to this new fancy. I find them wickedly funny and stupid, it makes you laugh for no reason. At first I cannot comprehend the buzz it is making in the Philippine television, but now I understand the craze. They are so damn hilarious and adorable, like watching real life anime characters minus the bucket of tears and drooling saliva.

Note: Sudden change of daily schedule... Restful sleep at 6pm, Alarm at 1am, Korean Series till 3am, off to work at 4am.
I lost my part time job. I lost my interest on it. I'm sad but partly happy because I was not enjoying it anymore. Time to look for a new part time job now. PERA-PERA na to!
My dad retired--- effective May 17, 2009.
I'm planning to buy a house. I need to invest on something. I'm not getting any younger so I better get my ass and money on something worthy and useful.

We were scanning some resumes we got from the JOB fair last week.

RESUME 1:

PERSONAL DATA:

Name:-----------

Age: 29 years old

Address:--------------------

Civil Status: Father of two but not yet married

How's that for a detailed resume? bwahahahhaha

Happy Mother's Day

2009-05-11T22:42:00.001+08:00

Popular Bingo goes Online

2009-04-26T21:54:00.003+08:00

In our country, bingo goes a long way and is very popular. It has evolved into many strategies and modified style just to please the audience. This game basically involves drawing of random numbers and plotting the picked numbers into the purchased bingo cards until it forms identified patterns with corresponding prizes. Manual or automated, bingo stays popular wherever you are. Although some allegations of cheating has been reported and are still in the process of investigation like the recent report of a Gala Caller who allegedly fixed a Bingo game, we still put beats on bingo and take our chances in winning a game. I think it is impossible to penetrate a random picking of numbers especially with the guidelines and internal control that the company is taking but it is still a relief to know that they are not taking this allegation lightly an is investigating it.

I see bingo gaming places every where and it is always full of bingo players. I have always wanted to try the game but I never had the nerve to line up and try it with such big crowd. Gameon Bingo, the online place for bingo fanatic worked on some magic to bring the classic bingo game into the hi-tech Internet world. Now, we can enjoy our favorite bingo at the comforts of our home.

Bad Day Today

Alam mong masama ang araw kung:

1. Nagbayad ka ng telephone bill at ang nasulat mo sa check na amount in words ay iba sa figures na nakalagay.

2. Mas masama kung pag dial mo sa phone walang dial tone kasi naputulan na kayo.

3. Nag plan ka ng party at sa huli ikaw ang di makakaattend.

4. Akala mo tapos na ang lahat, yung tipong wala ka nang dapat isipan na problema, hanggang sa dumating ang sulat na pinakakatakotan mo. "This is it! my worst nightmare has come to life!" biglang sigaw mo sa sarili mo.

5. Sinabihan kang bobo kasi di mo alam kung bakit di mo maalala ang sagot.

6. Nakalimutan ng boss mo na sahod mo na pala today.

7. Worst, ubos na ang pera mo kasi akala mo sasahod ka today.

8. Marami kang dapat gawin pero di mo alam saan magsisimula.

9. Maraming dapat gawin pero di ka makapagisip kasi sira na nga ang araw mo.

10. Di na plansta ang paborito mong polo at kailangan mong gamitin ang old polo mo.

11. Di ka makahanap ng matinong pagkain kasi late kana para sa breakfast and masyado kang early para sa lunch.

12. Said na ang bulsa mo sa kagagastos at kababayad ng utang na di naman sayo.

13. Maraming makulit na gustong umutang.

14. Nakaaway mo ang isang kaibigan dahil matigas ang ulo niya.

15. Inaway ka ng isang kaibigan dahil matigas ang ulo mo.

16. Kailangan mong umalis pero parang matatae ka pag humakbang kapa ng tatlong hakbang.

17. May load ka pero walang nag tetext para kausapin ka.

18. May nag text sayo pero expired na ang load mo at “Service not Available” na ang nagrereflect instead of “message sent”.

19. Gusto mo magtago sa loob ng movie house at doon mag solo pero walang magandang palabas.

20. Ok kana sa di magandang palabas pero walang pera at panahon para manuod ng movie mag-isa.

“Maybe you don't like your job, maybe you didn't get enough sleep, well nobody likes their job, nobody got enough sleep. Maybe you just had the worst day of your life, but you know, there's no escape, there's no excuse, so just suck up and be nice.”

Dalawamput Limang Pisong Paalam

14. Ayaw mo ng maghintay sa mga reply niya.

15. Ayaw mo ng maamoy ang “pang umagang hininga” nya.

Matinding Limang Piso:

16. Nakakapagod ng maghintay sa labas ng office pag on-the-go na ang hatid sundong school bus habang nagtatawanan siya kasama ang mga officemate niya.

17. Nakakapagod ng magpaalam habang siya ay ok lang na di mo alam kung saang lupalop nagpunta.

18. Nakaka-inis na palagi sa minsanan nyong pagsasama siya ang nasusunod.

19. Nakaka-inis ang di nya pag reply pag galit siya habang ikaw ay di makatulog sa kahihintay.

20. Nakakaumay ang palagiang pagpapaalala nya na umuwi ka ng maaga. (ano ka bata?)

Pinakamatinding Huling Limang Piso:

21. Ayaw mo nang maglakad habang siya ay nakasakay sa jeep. Binigay mo na kasi ang last coins mo sa kanya kasi wala daw siyang barya pamasahe.

22. Pipila ka sa pagkahabang pila sa grocery para bilhan siya ng napkin or powder or facial cleanser.

23. Sasamahan mo siya sa lahat ng lakad kahit di mo naman gusto pero siya understandable na ang reason na pagod siya at gustong matulog.

24. Di ka invited sa lahat ng importanteng events sa buhay nya kasi family affair daw. Toink!

25. Bibilhan mo siya ng sundae hot fudge sa Mcdo kasi gusto nya yun habang ikaw ay sing payat na nang kawayan kasi halos di na kumakain.

Di akin ang entry na to, may nagpapasulat lang. I accepted the challenge kahit walang bayad kasi natawa ako dahil wala akong makitang logic (ano daw?). Bakit ika nyo 25 pisong paalam ang pamagat nito? Aside sa 25 ang total nito, tig 25 pesos lang kasi ang Mcdo Sundae Hot Fudge. Ang layo ng connection ano?

Sabi ni Mama: “Magbigay ka at magmahal hanggat kaya mo. Sa huli di ka magsisisi na nagkulang ka sa parte mo, di ka magsisisi na di ka nagmahal at nagbigay. Sila ang magsisisis kasi niloko at di ka nila inalagaan. At pag na puno kana, hayaan mo na silang lahat.”

Sabi ni Joe: “Alagaan mo ang mga taong mahalaga sa kanila ang maliliit na bagay tungkol sayo. Sila yung mga tao na pag guho ng mundo mo at wala kanang maisip na dahilan para mabuhay, papahalagahan ka parin.”

Sabi ni Ivy: “Ok lang maging selfish. Ok lang na unahin ang sarili paminsan-minsan.”

Sabi ni Norman: “Di lahat ng tao tulad mo mag-isip. Di lahat ng tao tulad mo.”

Sabi ni Roselyn: “Minsan nakakalimutan kong bata ka pa nga. Minsan nakakalimutan ko na bunsong kapatid kita sa lahat ng bagay.”

Sabi ni Juvy: “Live your life with less “I’m sorry”.”

Sabi ni Vincent: “Masuwerte ka!”

Sabi ko:

Sana nga lang tinuruan ako ni Mama kung kelan napupuno ang pasensiya.

Sana nasabi din ni Joe kung anong bagay ba ang maliit at mahalaga sa buhay.

Sana tinuro na rin ni Ivy kung pano wag maawa, pano maging selfish at pano unahin ang sarili.

Sana ipinaliwanag ni Norman pano ako mag-isip. Pano ako na iiba sa karamihan.

Sana nasabi ni Roselyn na bata pa ako at ok lang magkamali.

Sana nasabi ni Juvy kung kelan ok lang mag sorry at kung kelan di kailangang humingi ng tawad.

Sana lang na explain ni Vincent bakit masuwerte ako.

Sana lang maalala ko lahat ng ito sa tuwing ganito ang nararamdaman ko.

(emo????!!!! Hahahahha)

Random Snap shots: Cebu

2009-03-01T21:50:00.011+08:00

Visiting the Queen City of the south for the first time was fun. We stayed at Tuxedo Business Suites while some of our friends stayed at Golden Way Hotel because Tuxedo Hotel was fully booked. I had some snap shots here and there to document our Cebu escapade.

I was impressed with how Cebu has evolved to be a highly urbanized metropolitan from being a conservative city. You can still see the relics of their rich culture through their old structured buildings.

Good Morning Cebu!

Heritage Park

Kalayaan Monument would be Davao's equivalent to this structure. Although Heritage Monument is bigger compared to our own Kalayaan Monument.

Magellan's Cross

A trip to Cebu would never be complete without a photo opportunity at Magellan's Cross. This is part of Cebu's history and of the whole Philippines as well.

Magellan's Cross (April 21, 1521)

Sto. Niño Church

We attended the 5:30 PM Mass at Sto. Niño Basilica and was impressed with the crowd gathered together to hear the mass. Considering it was the 8th Mass that day,the crowd was still huge. I was wondering if they ever had a bomb threat there, way to risky scene for a bomb explosion. But God is good to all His devotees. God blankets his soldiers with safety and love.

old churches gives me a distinct feeling of serenity.

Fort San Pedro

We only stayed here for a while. It was burning hot with the sun glaring at us.

Lapu-lapu Shrine

There was nothing fancy about Lapu-lapu Shrine. The History was great but nothing much.

"ANG-ANG" somebody shouted behind us, then we laughed, a reminder that we are indeed strolling around Cebu.

We had to make a scene at Lapu-lapu Shrine, Here's our version of Lovers in Paris poster.

LOVERS IN CEBU

TABOAN Market

Stinky and fun market place for Cebu's popular Dangit and other forms of dried fish. Here you can find great pasalubong food ideas. Shopping time! Just make sure to bring an extra t-shirt along.

I got stinky, I got dirty but see I've learned!

CEBU TAOIST TEMPLE

A place of prayer and relaxation. One great get away from the fast faced city life of Cebu.

Affirmation

2009-02-24T01:36:00.003+08:00

I am posting an affirmation of some of the things I believe base on the song AFFIRMATION by Savage Garden. ( with red font)

AFFIRMATION
Savage Garden

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self-esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

( I will write more about this when I get home... I miss Davao... really)

Honest Blog Award

2009-02-16T00:17:00.005+08:00

A year of blogging and I’m having a lot of fun. Yes! A year ago I started writing and making records of the pathetic things I do with my life. Thanks to Mommy Dee, now I can brag na award winning na ang blog ko… (joke!) well, you see, I’m not that honest in this blog. I write things in a subtle manner. No need to write about complications and other stuff that might hurt other people. But it’s the way I am, restrained, kind and sensitive. *wink*

Thank you to Mommy Dee for this Award.

Here’s the rule:

"When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to said person so everyone knows he or she is real. Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have 7 friends. Show the 7 random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with “Honest Weblog.” Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten honest things about yourself. Then, pass it on!"

My Ten Honest Things:

1. I honestly adore eating Red Chippy dipped in chilly vinegar. I would prefer sinamak or pinakuratan vinegar as a dip for my favorite chips but in the absence of those mentioned, burning hot cane vinegar will do.

2. Honestly, I love my friends but every time we go out for a movie we always end up choosing the most stupid movie ever. “Burn after reading” and “open water” are just but few examples of our movie selections. So I always make it to a point to watch movie alone. I do this at least twice a month.

3. I sleep naked, sometimes with briefs. I do this when I'm alone in my room.

4. I honestly don't like working with numbers. Ironically, accounting deals with figures. Good thing accounting and finance (mostly) deals with monetary accounts, money, I love Money, who doesn’t? Even if I don’t own the assets I still love handling it…

5. I only sleep maximum of 5hours a day on weekdays and whole day on Sundays. I honestly think this is taking a tool on my social life, turning me into a crappy young man experiencing mid-life crisis (ano daw?).

6. I honestly hate my dark brown skin complexion. See entry here, but I'm slowly getting over it.

7. I am an idiot when it comes to technological issues. I am thankful though that I was able to keep this blog up and running, but it took me one year to perfectly learn all the details.

Honestly, I don't know how to check the specs of my PC... no kidding!

8. I smoke. Honestly, I do. Ironically, I was a part of an anti-smoking youth advocate group formed to inform all Davaoeños about the ill effects of smoking. Bad me!

9. I miss going out with my friends. We don't have the luxury of time to go out as often as we use to. Sigh...

10. I have been avoiding exercise for too long and I’m way beyond my acceptable weight. I need to lessen my carbohydrate intake and needs to revive my badminton routine. Honestly, I now look like an overweight giant!

I said my piece so I’m tagging Ibyang, The Big MAN, Ma’am Sara, Rocky, Sandy.

I’m short of two people so anyone can list down 10 honest things and join us now… It’s fun, really…

Talk to My Hand

2009-02-07T17:16:00.005+08:00

When I get bored, the immature and childish me comes to the surface. This day is a good example of how stupid I get when I have nothing to do. Here’s the story.

I usually keep a glass of water beside me when I work. Since I was cleaning my work station getting ready to head home, I went to the training department to return the glass that I used for the day. While I was in the training department, I saw the service printer that was issued to us by LimeInk. It is a company here in Davao the gives you a printer and supplies you with unlimited ink for a very affordable price. Then it came, the childish and immature part of me took over.

Suddenly I found myself photocopying my hands. For no apparent reason I was laughing during the whole process. I was alone and you could just imagine how stupid I looked. After a short while an office mate came in, a Big-Huge-Giant like office mate at that and asked me what I was doing. I didn’t answer him but the evidence was there, I could not deny the crime.

Here are the scanned copy of my photocopied hand.

Peace!

Both hands

Disappointments and More

2009-02-06T00:20:00.006+08:00

I was supposed to write about something else, a positive entry for that matter talking about an award for HONEST SCRAP which was given by a blogger-lawyer-mom Dee. But instead I thought about the recent happenings in the first month of 2009 and ended up typing “Disappointments and More” as a title for this entry. Let me just continue so be prepared for some negative vibes.

1. Had a very busy holiday, not a very fun way to end 2008. I got stuck with office works and saw myself doing paper works during the holidays. I was able to get away for awhile but ended up in front of the computer after the two day vacation. This is a very old, disappointing story and this is just the beginning.

2. I haven’t seen my college friends in the longest time and when a batchmate organized a small get together party I hopped into it immediately. I wish I had not gone because while the party was just starting to pick up I was apprehended by a police officer for violation of R.A.(something). Great party right?

3. We were supposed to go to Boracay-Iloilo-Cebu for a well deserved vacation. It started out as a silly plan but we were able to get tickets Davao-Manila, Manila-Caticlan, Cebu-Davao, all three flights for only Php 2,300. Great deal! I was hesitant at first but by the middle of January I was convinced that vacation is a good thing for me. I started buying things for the event, informed friends about the vacation, filed a leave at the office, and worked my ass out to save money. I even went to a diet just to be in shape for the event.15 days before the big event they canceled it. *I need some enlightenment here*

4. A good friend is sick and I’m worried.

5. I haven’t been sleeping enough.

6. I miss my friends. *You know who you are*

7. I was asked to give an opinion, I voiced my thoughts and I’m receiving cold treatment from a friend due to my honest remarks. I know I offended him though I gave my feedback on a joking manner, but hey if you can’t take honesty---then don’t ask me. Let me remind you of the cliché “reality bites”, it applies.

8. I did something very wrong; I’m guilty and very disappointed right now.

Note to ADZ:

1. Work hard. If you’re working hard now then work harder. Be happy you have two jobs, it means you are ?earning twice as much?(which I doubt).

2. You deserve a break from all this crap. So promise yourself a beach day and a movie out alone.

3. Visit your sick friend soon.

4. File a two day leave and sleep.

5. Treat your friends just to be with them and you have to revive the regular badminton game (not entirely under your control).

6. Shut up once in a while. Keep your thoughts to yourself.

7. Do something good. Compensate for your bad deed.

"When you're 15, the smallest, most stupid things are matters of life and death, and you honestly believe that no one in the history of universe has ever known what you are going through. There's a constant turbulence inside you, emotions you do not understand and do not even want. Everybody tells you you're not a child anymore, but no one grants you the rights of an adult."

The Cider House Rules

2009-01-18T15:44:00.004+08:00

Wally: The thing about being in love is that you can't force anyone. It's natural to want someone you love to do what you want, or what you think would be good for them, but you have to let everything happen to them. You can't interfere with people you love any more than you're supposed to interfere with people you don't even know. And that's hard, because you often like interfering--- you want to be the one who makes the plans.

Angel: It's hard to protect someone else, and not be able to.

Wally: You can't protect people, all you can do is love them.

Looking for the Perfect Pair of Shoes

2009-01-17T12:48:00.003+08:00

I adore shoes but I always find it hard to find a shoe that fits me well. You see, I have a very big feet that my sister even calls me BIG FOOT for obvious reason. Sadly, local stores here in Davao don't cater to big foot market. I, more often that not would find a shoe I like and end up not buying it mainly because it is too small for me.

Looking for a shoe that perfectly fits your idea of a good shoe is an arduous task but a fun activity. It helps to know that there are on-line shoe stores that give you tips on how to buy shoes and helps you see through their product minus the walking, falling in-line, pushing, all just to have that perfect pair of shoe you always wanted.

I check the Internet to browse for shoes that I need. Design and functionality are the two factors I consider when buying a shoe. For my office and dress shoe, I always go for the elegant leather black shoes. For my everyday activities, I like wearing comfortable sandals and flip-flops. I also like browsing for sporting shoes for my jogging and badminton activities. I might buy more casual shoes, I think I need some to go with my usual sandals and flips.

Buying shoes is more of an investment for me than a luxury activity. You invest in the way you dress up and to protect you feet. We only have one chance to walk with our feet, why not walk this world with fashion and style.

Soul Searching Mode

2009-01-03T18:32:00.006+08:00

Here are some pictures of my trip to a place I love visiting. I don't want to talk about why, how and when these all happened except that it was a very special trip.

Soul searching ang gimik ko when I decided to get out of Davao for a while. Medyo ngarag sa dami ng ginagawa sa buhay kaya na isipan kong umalis muna pang samantala at mamalagi sa lugar kung saan pwede akong maging ako na walang inisip na kahit ano. Timing din kasi medyo patapos na ang taon noon. Leaving all the problems, work and worries behind... lumarga ako sa favorite place ko where I "seek refuge" kung medyo mali-mali ang mundong ginagalawan ko.

Tulog, kain, ligo sa pool, picture-picture yan lang actually ang ginawa ko doon. Masaya, nakakagaan ng problema.

Heto ang mga kasama ko: Cherry, Bhong, Tlyn, Ping-ping and Me

Heto ang pinaka gusto ko dito... ang nature, falls, malamig na panahon, ice water filled na swimming pool at mababait na tao.

Bhong (our host), Cherry and Me

Naka contact lens ako ng three toned something dyan. Trip lang kasi gabi naman nito.

Akala ko walang makakapansin sa contact lens ko or kung meron man walang pupuna. Pero ang mga bata tingin ng tingin sa akin hangang sa nag ask na sila kung tunay ba daw ang mata ko. Mukha daw akong anime. May I explain in simplier terms kung ano ang suot ko. The more the answers, multiplied twice ang questions. hangang sa napagod na ako at pumikit na lang.

Sa picture na to nasa birthday party kami. Invited ang Mommy ni Bhong sa party and the celebrant invited us along. Hindi nag luto sa bahay ng host namin kasi may party daw.heheheh Nahiya pa daw kami sa start pero noong eating time na ayon... nawala ang HIYA parang naka inom ng isang case na red horse... It was fun sobrang busog ako. Tama lang because di ako ng lunch. Salamat nga pala sa nag invite sa amin at sa super bait ang accomodating na host namin ang Redulla Family.

Sa may falls sa baba ng mga swimming pool

Bhong, Cherry, Tlyn and Me

Shel, Tlyn, Cherry and Me
sobrang lamig ng tubig sa pool
flowing water ang tubig ng pool from the natural falls
sarap magbabad sa pool
sana nga lang may pool din sila na medyo mainit para pantay lang

Cherry

Tlyn and Ping-ping

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

May mga bagay na diko pwedeng isulat kasi marami ang masasaktan at magagalit. Gusto ko mang maging sobrang totoo sa blog na ito, hindi lang ako ang nakataya. May madadamay at masasagasaan. Ayoko nang ganon. Pwede akong magsalita ng masasamang bagay about me but I will try not to talk about other people. Pwede kung hindi nila tunay na name ang gamit (heheheh). Ang entry na ito ay isa sa mga entry na yun. Maraming di naka paloob na kwento dito. Lahat masasaya. Ako? masaya ako pero alam ko may magagalit at malulungkot kung isusulat ko ang mga bagay na yun.

Hayaan nyo munang hanapin ko ang kaluluwa ko. Please... Salamat...

2009 na!

2009-01-01T00:35:00.001+08:00

It is now officially 2009.
2008 is over and so is my crazy lifestyle.
Well, I still don’t have a new year’s resolution as of now but I intend to make a list… maybe tomorrow when 2009 sinks in.

Happy New Year Everyone!

5. Nag-aaral na si Cathy ng Seasons of Love na song.

7. May "and never, and never and never again" na lyrics na si Cathy sa Seasons of Love.
8. Nag aaral na sila nang cheer dance.

Happy Birthday Mama

2008-12-16T17:52:00.001+08:00

Bumaha sa Isla namin kagabi kasi Full Moon. Due to the strong gravitational something of the Moon tumaas yung dagat at kailangan kong dumaan sa madilim na bahagi ng lugar namin to get away from the high tide. I don't want to remove my shoes and look stupid habang bitbit ko and leather shoes ko at nakataas ang aking slacks pants with matching polo na stripes.

May mga batang naglalaro sa kadiliman, di sila tyanak, mahilig lang sila sa madidilim na bahagi maglaro. Nadaanan ko sila habang nakakumpol at nag-uusap.

Bata: Uncle, wag kayong dumaan dyan may Kapre.
Adz: Ano? (uncle!?! are you sure?!?)
Bata: Totoo po, may Kapre talaga. Nagsisigarilyo.
Adz: Ah.... OK...

Napaisip ako, hinde dahil may Kapre, kung di dahil UNCLE na pala ako ngayon. Dati kasi kuya ako tapos naging sir, ngayon Uncle na ako?

Pano ba nasusukat ang pagtanda? Sa laki o edad ba? Sa dami ng natapos na course or timpalak na napanalo? Sa dami ng nagawa sa buhay? Dapat bang itago ang pagtanda o dapat ikasaya? Siguro sa dami ng kabutihang nagawa mo sa pamilya mo. Habang tumatanda kasi ang tao mas nagiging marami ang bilang ng kabutihang pwedeng e-relate sa kanya.

Naging mabuting ina, mabuting asawa, mapagmahal na ate, helpful sa kapwa at marami pa. Birthday ng Nanay ko. Kung matanda na kaming magkakapatid at naging mabuting tao (mga kapatid ko lang... di ako kasali) sa sambayanan yan ay dahil sa Nanay namin. 59 years old na si Mama, matanda na si mama, marami na siyang nagawang magagandang bagay sa mundo at mahal na mahal nami siya.

Matanda na rin ako pero kung di dahil kay Mama wala ako dito. So OK lang na uncle tawag sa akin kasi Lola na ang tawag kay Mama.

Happy Birthday Ma!

2nd Annual JIB Skills Showcase

2008-12-13T18:15:00.012+08:00

December 12, 2008 was a big day for the whole Joji Ilagan-Bian Career Center Foundation Inc. We celebrated our 2nd Annual JIB skills Showcase. It was a fun filled event held at SM Davao Entertainment Plaza.

The whole entertainment plaza was transformed into a magical venue, filled with beauty and "tatak JIB" things. It was indeed a showcase of how globally competitive we are in so many ways. I can't fully describe how fascinating the event was. I might understate it even if I try very hard so let me just show you some of the pictures I took.

This is the stage

The JIB e-Academy booth.

Thanks to Ma'am Marites, Ma'am Emily, Ma'am Jing and Joe naging presentable siya.

OK should shut you up

2008-12-11T12:31:00.003+08:00

Yesterday I received a call from from an irate business partner who I say is “barking at a wrong tree”. I got really pissed with his attitude but decided to keep calm during the whole conversation. I really never intended to respond to him keeping in mind the call center rule to never fight with an irate client. The conversation went something like this.

Caller: Punyeta kayo! Ano ba ang problema nyo d'yan sa Davao?
Adz: (Explain....)
Caller: Ang kikitid ng utak nyo! Ang tagal-tagal na ng problema na yan!
Adz: (Explain...)
Caller: Pupunta ako sa Davao next week... pagbabarilin ko kayo!
Adz: OK...
Caller: Baka hindi mo kilala kausap mo?!?
Adz: (silence.... thinking sino nga tong kausap ko?)
Caller: (more bad words here and insults)
Adz: OK...
Caller: Pagpapatayin ko kayo dyan... Wag nyong hintayin na makarating ako sa Davao para barilin kayo...
Adz: OK...
Caller: I will give you one week to settle this...
Adz: OK...

---end---

Medyo mahaba ang usapan namin. Around 20minutes pero ang mga nakasulat sa taas lang ang naalala ko. I am so proud na hindi ko siya pinatulan at hindi ako nagpakababa. Hindi ako nawala sa mood pero dahil sa sobrang pagod during noon time nagka bad mood moments din ako and if tumawag siya during those moments, I might have said these things.

1. Kung makitid utak namin? Ano kayo? Walang utak?
2. May baril din ako barilan tayo!
3. Hindi kita kilala! Sino ka ba? Ako? Kilala mo? I'm sure hindi rin...Fair enough!
4. Gazillions of bad words and insults....
5. May sa pusa ako... 9 lives make sure pag napatay mo ako 9 times para di ako maka ganti.
6. Mag hintay ka! At eKompleto mo kailangan namin para di lumalabas ang kabobohan mo!

Hindi naman ako masyadong harsh, Ok lang naman diba?

Note to you Brainless Dr. as you call yourself:
Gamitin mo isip mo so we can settle things properly. And besides hindi ako ang may kasalanan nitong lahat at hindi rin ang management namin. Kayo!

BOGOK!

Gusto ko pa sanang matulog...

Dala ko ang camera ng office kasi nag edit ako ng pictures for our company website...
Nag taxi ako kasi ang lakas ng ulan...
Sa loob ng taxi di ko kinakausap ang driver...
maiinit ulo ko pag umuulan...
nag picture-picture na lang ako...
Heto ang mga kuha ko...

Sa may Sta. Ana Avenue to....

di gaanong malakas ang ulan... OK lang... pero nakakabasa parin...

Nakaka-inis parin

Fresh na fresh talaga ang mga pics na to...
look at the date...

Yan ang alma mater ko...
sa likod ng babaeng yan... nan doon ang tarpaulin ko... (hahaha)
inis din kami dati sa tuwing umuulan...
di kasi kami makalabas ng school kasi malayo ang boyayang...

Ito ang Sta. Ana crossing...
Busy street...
Sobra...

at ito ang jeep... wla lang...

Rainy Days and Mondays
(The Carpenters)

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

akala ko talaga at first RAINY DAYS ON MONDAYS ang pamagat nito.

BOBO me!

the Ewan entry

2008-11-15T11:44:00.002+08:00

Ang cocorny nang mga entry ko this past few days. Di naman ako ganito dati. Napagod na siguro ako sa pulit-ulit na pangyayari sa buhay ko. I had so many things going in and out (am i in or out) sa office, bahay and friends na di ko na iniisip ano ang e-pupublish kong entry. I have gazillion of things na gusto ko eshare like the party we had at Samal to celebrate JUVY and pakapin sa bobot na birthday ni YEN, the funny things that occurred to me and to my officemates, mga inoman sessions, and a lot of other things na diko maisabuhay sa titik at letra.

I have to do a report by the way pero heto ako nagsusulat ng entry. Boring sa office kasi wala ako sa premier energy level ko. May mga tao na naglalakad sa hallway, may orientation, may nagtatawanang mga estudyante, pero ako, heto nagsusulat.

Malala na ang ubo at sipon ko. Pero ayokong mag pa check-up. I find it pointless na magpacheck tapos sasabihin lang din sa akin ang mga bagay na alam ko. Kailangan ko pa ba ng confirmation to know na may ubo at sipon ako? I think I can do it myself. Pero di ako magpapatalo sa ubo at sipon, may badminton game pa kami this 2pm, may drinking session and grill2 ng tuna on the side, may tawanan at koting alaskahan. I have to be on my top shape to compete with the rest of the gang. Pero kaya ko kaya kahit alam kong may kulang sa araw ko? Di kasi ako nagapagshabu kaya siguro weakling ako. Biro lang po. Sige Have a great day!

(at bakit iba-iba ang color ng text na to? diko alam cguro gusto ko lang makita ano ang pwede na color ng font sa blog ko... yung mapapansin, yung tipong di maisasangtabi... Yun lang po... BOW)

Nakaupo
Naghihintay
Pagod na sa ganitong eksena
sawa na sa paulit-ulit na storya

Minsan gusto ko lang gumala
magliwaliw na parang walang bukas
tipong huli na ang lahat para iminom at maglasing
yung parang ito na ang katapusan at kailangan ko na itong gawin

Di ako magkapag-isip ng matino
Sa dami ng dapat gawin
sa konti ng oras na nasa akin
may panahon pa kaya para ngumiti at maglambing?

Ito ako ngayon
nakaupo parin
naghihintay parin
na minsan sana dumating
na ang lahat ng bagay ay maki-isa sa akin

I shall be seen

Typical na pinoy ako. Pango ang ilong, kayumangi ang balat, medyo kulot ang buhok di nga lang ako pandak. Kompara naman kasi sa normal na height ng mga pinoy matangkad ako, 5’11” ako eh. Sa lahat ng ito, mamumukod tangi ang akong pagiging brown skinned man. Brown lang naman talaga ako, dark brown nga lang. Yun bang parang chocolate hills ng Bohol na dumaan sa isang taong el niño, naging Dark Chocolate hills na. Well, buhat ng magkamalay ako, ito na ang nakalakihan kong tira mula sa mga ka klase , kaibigan at kaopisina ko. Ang kulay ko, opo, sinubukan ko na lahat ng whitening cream at lotion pero sadyang may sariling pag-iisip ang balat ko. Kaya heto ako ngayon, pango, dark brown ang kutis, medyo kulot ang buhok pero matangkad nga lang.

Highschool 1:

Me: Ganyan talaga ang buhay di mo pwedeng kunin lahat. And besides BLACK is beautiful man din.

Classmate: Opo, black is beautiful, but too much is charcoal.

Highschool 2:

Classmate 2: Adz, wag ka masyadong magsusuot ng shocking colors baka mapagkamalan kang traffic sign na misplaced.

College 1:

Classmate 1: May bagong nick name na si adz.

Me: Ano?

Classmate 1: Noggie

Me: Hehehehe… (secretong natuwa kasi political figure si Noggie sa Davao, meaning ba nito respetado ako?)

Classmate 2: Bakit Noggie?

Classmate 1: Noggie… Nog-Nog… Sunog…

College 2:

Classmate 1: Adz wag ka masyadong dumidikit sa pader baka pagkamalan kang Charcoal painting.

College 3:

Classmate 1: Adz, Sali ka sa competition, I’m sure you will love the prize.

Me: Ano?

Classmate 1: 1 month supply of whitening Likas papaya soap.

College 4:

Classmate 1: Adz?

Me: Yupz?

Classmate 1: Matatangal kaya ng eraser ng monggol ang black na color mo?

Me: Gusto mo isak-sak ko sayo ang sharpened monggol pencil ko? No. 2 pa to! Bagong tasa!

Classmate 2: Liquid eraser kaya adz, mas maputi ang effect non!

Sa Office 1

Me: Bye guys! I’ll go ahead! Pagod na po ako.

Officemate: May nagsasalita ba?

Sa Office 2

Boss: Mag isip na kayo ng concept for Christmas decoration sa office.

Officemate: Punuin natin ng lights ang room, blinking para parang disco sabay mag tug-tug.

Boss: Pwede yun!

Officemate: Para din sa benefit ni adz, para makita siya pag gabi.

Sa Office 3

Me: May theme song na ang office!

Officemate: Ano?

Me: Someone’s always saying goodbye… I believe it hurts when we cry… Don’t you know partings never soo easy?

Officemate: Ikaw, meron din!

Me: Ano?

Officemate: Sunog! Nanaman si adz! Ilabas nyo na ang kalokohan….

Now, tell me! Sino ang hindi masasanay sa ganitong eksena? Ako? sanay na. Sa tagal-tagal ko ng naririnig ang mga ganitong banat medyo nagsawa na rin ako. Tinatawanan ko na lang kesa sa magalit ako. Sa loob-loob ko, di naman sa kulay nagkakatalo ang buhay. Sa pananaw, prinsipyo at paniniwala. Pag namatay ba tayo at humarap sa Poong Maykapal, ano ba ang titingnan nya? (makikita niya kaya ako? I'll just make sure na morning ang appointment ko kay LORD) Ang kulay ba natin o kung ano ang nagawa natin sa mundo nung buhay pa tayo?

I still live with the virtue of the tenth beatitude (meron ba?)

“Blessed are the dark skinned, for in front of God they shall be seen.” hahahah

I found my way home just to get lost again
Made an effort to leave this place but I'm still here
I want to get away
I want to get out of this place
but I want you to be with me
I am leaving
but not without you

Tonight I plan another escape
I will come into your room at night and urge you to come with me
this is my last and final attempt to flee
My only chance to bring you with me
I am going
I know I can't drag you
I am leaving
giving up is the best option now

Tomorrow I will wake up to a new morning
a new place
a brand new promise of a better life
But still I want to hold those familiar hands
Hug you in my strong arms
Offer you my shoulder for comfort
and I know,
I still want to share with you
A world of something new.

New Look!

2008-11-06T21:45:00.004+08:00

I have a new look for my blog. I would like to thank Miss Sharlene Grace a.k.a CHAI for this nice work of art. Magaling talaga si CHAI, kinukulit ko na kasi siya every time na nagpupunta ako sa CHAVEZ. Sa iyo CHAI isang masigabong palapak mula sa akin at sa mundong bilog.

Medyo na hirapan ako sa pag fit ng ginawa ni Chai na masterpiece sa blog ko. Sa unang subok ko, palpak agad. Sobrang excited kasi. Totoo nga talaga ang sabi-sabi ng mga matatanda. Kahit gaano ka galing ang espada pag purol ang gagamit wala pa ring silbi. Sa ganda ng ginawa ni chai di ko na bigyan ng justice...huhuhu nakakahiya. Atleast na adjust ko siya ng konti. Medyo di lang nga talaga naging tama sa unang subok.

Ganito ang labas the first time I tried it.

Ngayon! Heto na xa! Galing anoh?!?

Muli... Salamat po sa sponsor ko... CHAI...hehehe

Stars of Crocodile Park

2008-10-30T23:19:00.005+08:00

Both endangered animals find comfort in being together. The "man of the forest" CARLO plays with the obligate carnivore SHIVA. Shiva being a part of the apex predatory group had set aside his nature to be with the ever playful Carlo. Withholding temper and his nature Shiva peacefully watches as the intelligent and charming Carlo annoy him.

If animals with no free will could stand their differences why can't we?

We are wiser than them. Better in any way. Why can't we just seat beside each other without fighting, gossiping and back biting?

Why can't many people just watch someone play and be happy with their lives?

Why can't we be more patient when we are being pulled to our limits?

Why can't we be just like Shiva and Carlo?

They have defied their nature to show the world of what it can become if we let go of our self for a while.

CROCODILE DISHES

2008-10-29T21:47:00.006+08:00

In my previous post I asked, WHAT WOULD WE DO WITH SO MANY CROCODILES? It just got into me while looking at hundreds or maybe thousands of CROCs at crocodile park. Where the hell would they go if the Park could not accommodate them anymore? I'm quite sure they will not be released into the wild (I really don't know... but for sure it is not safe action).

I know this post will make some people in the blog sphere roll there eyes (Sir Teng and Maam Sara for sure... sorry po.) Its just that a friend of mine sent the images below right after reading my post and his reply to my question? "If we can't beat them, eat them" (yes... he was just joking).

Served at River walk Resturant just beside crocodile park.

CROC SISIG

Chilly Croc

CROC Steak

We had dinner at River walk and we knew they were serving CROC Dishes but we never dared to ask for any of their exotic food. We had our usual chicken bbq, pork steak, and FAMILY FRUIT FIESTA.

What are we afraid of?

2008-10-28T21:17:00.009+08:00

We went to Crocodile Park three weeks ago but we were not able to upload our photos because we got so busy with many things. It was a very short visit to Crocodile Park, the first and I think the only Crocodile wildlife conservation area in the Philippines. It was swamped up with so many crocs and to my estimate if they let loose all of them they can eat us all alive.

It was fun but scary at the same time. Thinking that at anytime they will grow as big as PANGIL and when that happens where would they put them? What would they feed them? Who will take care of them? or shall I say who will take care of US?

Honestly, The crocodiles didn't scare us.... Yups... Even at a very close angle, we were not scared to take snapshots of them.

This giant crocodile didn't scare us.

Even this Python

Even Carlo who shook hands with kokong

Even PANGIL was not a threat.This scared us the most. The Ostrich.

Look at there faces.
