My Sign
This is just a part of the email that was originally sent by Aisah and was resent to me by Liza because I requested her to. I just deleted mine when I received the mail because i needed to download it. I thought it would take much time so I didn't pay attention. Good thing, Liza showed me this email and was I happy to see the interpretation of my sign.  LIBRA MAN A man who has no balance like his Zodiac symbol. He is not the gentle, cool , calm and charming guy like what you see. He has another dark side of aggression, stubborn and he likes to start an argument the most. Sometimes he can be so depress and unstable. Up and down like he is trying to balance himself most of the time. To many people, he is a friendly guy and always smile even when he is mad or up set. His voice always gentle and calm. he always set and comb his hair as if he comes out from a shampoo advertisement. Mostly Libra men are good looking, even the ugly one is charming. When he smiles, it is so bright that the whole world is smiling with him too. When he is in a balance mood, he is the type of person you want to be with. In other unbalancing mood, he likes to make people argue about something and watching it with fascination and fun. He will wait to be the one who compromise and clear thing up. He likes to be in a conflicting conversation. Libra man is lazy by nature. After his tired day at work, he likes to sit still and just look out of the window or read quietly. He likes to be in his own world. After recharging his battery, he will be very energetic again and may even take you out that night. Libra man normally will not do any shocking or abnormal things to be noticed. He likes to be conformed with his crowd, but if you watch him carefully, you will see the different. If he wear a shirt, it will have to be a zipper front instead of buttons, or a special tie bar. There is always something in him that he will not allow totally conformity to take him over. A straight forward , no non-sense guy. He is careful and delicate in details. He will spent extra time to doing it right, than comes back to correct them later. He hates people who boost, or exaggerate. He does not like over dressed woman or make herself a center of an attention. He loves to read. He loves poems and loves art. When he works he can work like crazy, but after work he can turn on romantic jazzy music and treat you so gently. He loves to give people advice and normally give a good advice. If you fall for him, you will stay like being trapped in a spider web. If you want to break up with him, he will persuade you a zillion ways to stay and you can not stop him anyway. After he persuade you to stay, or after a big fight, he will be so sweet to you as if he has never hurt your feeling before ever. He will has his own way to win a girl love and affection. Once she says yes, he will lay back and wonder if he should go on or if he should back out. In his teen, he changed many girl friends because he can not clearly separate loving a friend and loving a girl friend. He will check and re-cheek if his match is suitable and compatible with him. Even he is a romantic man, he can hardly understand the emotion of the one he loves. He is a generous guy even he sets his life so systematically. He never knows when he makes you unhappy. He never knows how he up set you. He will never knows what he said wrong. If he is your lover, be prepare for this. A not so pretty girl with no brain is not his type of woman. If you are not pretty enough, he will not mind talking to you but he does not care to get to know you. Any girls, pretty or ugly can ask for his help, he will be happy to help. He hates to argue by yelling at each other, so you tend to see he argue with his girl friend seriously but try at best to be very quiet. He likes to have a girl friend by getting to know each other like a friend first. If you want him, you have to like the same thing he does. He prefers a pretty and gentle woman than a smart and ugly woman. You have to understand his mood especially he can has many different moods. He is a private person, so when he needs to be alone better let him be. ******** I was suppose to highlight the things that I know best suit me. But I guess I would just have to leave that to the people who know me especially my friends.  Also, I read some of the descriptions of the other zodiacs. I am just happier that my friend's, also my eye candy for sometime now, sign characteristics fit her. So, the complements and encouragements I always get from her are oh, so true. I must've been her knight in shining armor  . Ok, I'm daydreaming again. ******** Happy, happy Bithday  to Haydz, my friend back in college who's in med school - handsdown! ( June 1st); my teammate, Goldi (2nd) who's enjoying the water, sand and sun of Galera; and Cy (4th), my PExer buddy who'd be treating us on our trip way up north come July.. hehe! And to my other friends whom I forgot and would be celebrating their birthday on June, I would get back to you. I'd check my list and post my greeting somewhere here. Plus an SMS or a call won't hurt, right? Take care everyone!

Quince
Ang post na ito ay hango lamang mula sa blog ni Mitch . Natuwa kasi ko nung nakita ko kaya ginaya ko. Hi, Mitch! Sana ok lang. Hehe. The Rules: 1. Write something about 15 different people. 2. You can NOT say who they are. 3. If someone asks you which one is about them, you can NOT tell. 1. Kay sarap gawin ng bagay na gusto mo, na ikalilibang mo. Na kahit pa trabaho o takda sa eskwela, di mo namamalayan na nagdaraan na. Lumilipas ang panahon na wari mo'y naglalaro ka lamang. Sa Iloilo ngayo'y nananahan. Salamat sa pagsabi na sana'y minsan maranasan mong lahat ng kami'y kasama. Ngunit kami'y mas magpapakaligaya sapagkat ika'y may tinatapos pa na gawain sa eskwela. 2. Magnakaw man lang ng isang oras na ang mata'y puminid. Kay sarap na pahinga maski na gising sa kabuuan ng gabi. Ngunit iniaayos ko pa lamang ang kutson na aking hihigan ng biglang may halos tatlong magkakasabay na tunog ang lumabas mula sa iyong malay na naalimpungatan. Ang iyong utot, nakayayamot. 3. Kapag kuwa'y naiisip ko rin kung mas maswerte ka kaysa sa akin. Mas nakuha ko ang mas maraming pabor noon, sa aking palagay. Ngunit ngayon ay tila mas masaya ka sa iyong kinalalagyan. 4. Andyan ka na naman... tinutukso-tukso ang aking puso. Isang ngiti mo lang at ako'y napapaamo. *parang kanta ata 'to, a* 5. Bago pa man ang iyong paglalakbay sa China at Thailand, sana'y magkaroon na tayo ng tamang panahon na magkita para mapag-usapan na ang mga bagay na dapat pag-usapan. 6. Liwanag man ng buwan ay kumubli sumandali sa mga ulap sa paligid, at ang iyong mga mata'y bigla na lamang lalamlam. Ang gabi ay may kalamigan. Buntong hininga man di kayang iwaksi ang nakaraan. Aking kamay iyong hawakan. 7. Yari man kung saan ang iyong pabalat, mas makikilala ka pa rin ng maigi kung ika'y hubad. 8. Ilang araw ko ring hinintay ang iyong pag-alala. Namuti na ang mata sa pagtitig sa isang plorera. Kung may bulaklak man na doo'y nakalagak, may bubuyog pa kayang lalapit sa iyong talukap? 9. Sa himig ng ihip ng hangin ika'y batid. Sa ikot ng mga mundo ika'y nais mahabol. Kay bilis ng galaw sa bawat paghinga. Di ko man lamang namalayan na ako'y nilisan na. 10. Isang hikab sabay inat ng buto. Sinundan pa ng isang kamot sa ulo. Hala, sige. Humay ka't maligo. 11. Pag gising sa umaga'y ika'y mayroon nang kaaway. Maninipluhod sa pangakong di na uulit mag-iinay. Dahilan man ay isang lista, ngunit ganyan ka. Nakabubulahaw ang gawaing alinman sa dalawa. 12. Isang umaga habang tayo'y naglalakad ay puno ng kwento ang iyong madidinig na tila baga wala nang katapusan di lamang ang ating dinaraanan pati na rin ang lahat ng aking nais tandaan. Ilang araw na ba ang pinalipas bago ako'y ngumiti sa iyo ng makahulugan? At palihim pa rin akong sumusulyap sayo dala ng hiya at pag-aalalang di mo ako gusto kasama. Pero sa totoo lang, mas masarap ka pang tignan kaysa sa sorbetes na ating taban. 13. Huwag mo akong tingnan ng ganyan. Baka mamaya'y ang gawin ko'y maibigan. 14. Kay lawak ng dagat. Di ko abot tanaw maging ang kalaliman. Ang lalim na nagbabahay ng malalaki at may kaliitang isda. Kung ikaw man ay isa sa mga isdang nagsisimula pa lamang lumaki, nawa'y di ka pagtangkaang lamunin ng malaking isdang iyong makakasalubong. Masakit ngunit totoo. Peligro sa maliliit ang mas malalaki. 15. Ang utak ay nilikha ng mas mataas kaysa sa puso para ito ang mas pahalagahan sa paggawa ng desisyon, anila. Ngunit sa tingin ko'y ang iyong sagot ay iba.

Random Thoughts XII
Busy lang ako masyado (Ay, di naman pala masyado. O, pakiramdam ko lang na busy ako? Hehe  ..) kaya wala ako masyado ma-post. Tsaka ayoko matabunan yung previous posts ko tungkol sa Starbucks at Yellow cab kalokohan ko. Tingin ko kasi nakakatuwa yung mga pictures na kinuha ko. Siyempre yung topic din.  Anyway, mga dalawa o tatlong araw na din akong naggu-google ng mga pwedeng tirahan para sa pinaplano naming gimik sa nalalapit na Hulyo. Ang hirap din magplano kasi wala naman akong kuneksyon at kakilala sa lugar na pwedeng tumulong sakin para magpa-reserve ng titirahan. Tsaka ngayon ko lang gagawin 'to sa tanang buhay ko. Dati pag nag-a-outing kami, eh may plano na o di kaya malapit lang sa bahay ng barkada ko ang tutuluyan namin. Ngayon, sariling hanap. Sariling inquiry. Balitaan ko na lang kayo pag natuloy na yung lakad. Umayon sana samin ang panahon sa mga araw na 'yun. Tsaka dapat kasama ang mga dapat sumama.  ****************** Nakapagtataka na ang friendster account ko ay nakakakuha ng at least isang view kada araw. Hmm, sino kaya ang sumusulyap-sulyap sa aking hamak na profile at larawan dun  ? Hmm.. At, everyone, welcome imogen. He/She posted something in my tagboard. Nagtaka lang ako na para sa kanya ay fascinating yung stories dito. Kasi ang simple lang din naman ng mga nandito gaya ng ibang posts sa ibang blogs. Pero gayun pa man, salamat.  Nahihiya din kasi ko pag mag nagche-check ng blog ko tas di ko kakilala.  Sa bagay, ako din naman nagb-blog hop pag walang magawa dito sa office. Di nga lang ako nagpo-post ng message sa tagboard nila. Pero nakakalibang at nakikilala mo nga din naman yung may-ari nung site.  ****************** Ewan ko kung bakit pakonti ng pakonti ang iniinom kong tubig ngayon. Kung iisip, eh summer pa naman at pagkainit ng panahon. Nung umaga pa ang shift ko, halos 5 - 6 na tubig na nasa water container ko ang nauubos ko. Ngayon, eh, mga tatlo na lang. Maximum na yun, a. Pinipilit ko talagang uminom ng madami. Di naman scarce ang mineral water. Haayy. ****************** Eto kwento ko lang bago ko pumasok kanina. Medyo wala din ako tulog, eh. Mga 11 am ako dumating bahay. Kumain muna ko ng Lucky Me! Sotanghon bago matulog. Nanood ng konti ng tv. Medyo nga di ako inaantok kasi laging excited  ako pag padating na yung rest day ko. Pagising-gising din ako nung natulog na ko, eh. Bumaba na ko sa kwarto ko ng mga 4:30 pm. Laging kasama ko sa pagbaba ko ng kwarto, eh yung gamit na dadalin ko pati na din yung radyo ko. Patugtog muna ako ng cd tas kumuha na ko ng lunch. O, 4:30 yan, a. Tapos, lunch. Pa'no nga ba naman ako tataba nyan?  Nakikipagkulitan muna ko sa mga pamangkin ko  , eh bago ko maligo. Bale, mga 2 oras ang pataan ko sa pagpe-prepare bago pumunta kung saan. Kain, inom ng kape, lakad-lakad muna sa loob ng bahay, kinig ng cd... Medyo nagmadali pa nga ako kanina kasi baka umulan. Medyo nag-uuulan samin ng mga bandang alas 7, eh. Eh, ganung oras ako umaalis ng bahay. Bago kasi ko lumabas ng bahay, eh andun muna ko sa kwarto ko at nakikinig ulit ako ng cd of choice ko. Mga 20 mintues yun. Nakaupo lang ako at kinukundisyon ang sarili ko sa pagpasok. Simula nung naging GY ang shift ko, isang malaking struggle sakin ang pagpasok. Naiisip ko na lalong nawala ang di-aktibo  kong social life. Inaantok na ko lagi. Mas naiisip ko na di na normal ang buhay ko. Yung mga ganyang mga bagay ba. In short, lalo kong na-miss ang mga bagay na di ko pa nagagawa at ngayon ay konti na lang ang oras para gawin pa dahil nako-consume nang lahat ng oras ng trabaho  . At mas napipili ko pang magpahinga kesa gawin ang mga bagay na mas gusto ko. Pero alam ko naman na isa-isa at unti-unti ko ding nalalampasan. Kasi sabi nga ng kaibigan ko na may way daw ako in coping and adjusting to certain things. Di ko lang daw napupuna.  Paglabas ko ng pinto namin ay nasalisod ko yung konting tumpok ng buhanging nakatambak sa harapan namin  . Ginagawa kasi ang bahay ng kuya ko at iyon yung pinino nang buhangin na inihahalo sa simento. Binati pa nga ako ng kuya ko na kasalukuyang nate-text. Pathway ang daanan palabas sa kalsada. Gabi-gabi ko ding nadidinig ang mga paniki na lilibut-libot sa puno ng artiles sa tapat ng aming bahay. Ngayon ko lang ulit sila pinagtuunan ng panahon kasi nakuha ko pang huminto sumandali para tingnan ang mga paniki. Napansin ko din na iilan na lamang ang mga poste na may ilaw sa daanan. Noong panahon ng kampanya, proyekto at handog daw iyon ng isang kapitbahay naming tumakbo bilang konsehal. Nanalo na ngunit nalimot na ang mga poste na nakatiwangwang na lamang. At isa ako sa mga napaniwala niya. Hay, ba't nauwi sa pulitika 'to?  Madilim at mas lalong nagmukhang nakakatakot ang kawayan sa may kanto ng pathway. Nilalamon nito ang liwanag ng kalangitan kaya't bahagya ko lamang nakikita ang aking sariling anino. Ang katawan nitong lumalangitngit sa pag-ihip ng hangin ay animo huni ng kung anuman mula sa ilalim ng lupa. Tampulan din kasi ng mga nakakatakot ng isatorya ang kawayanang iyon. Madilim at medyo masukal ang bakuran na kinalalagyan noon. Kung magmamadali kang lumakad samin ay apat na bagay ang maaaring mangyari sayo. Una, makabangga ka ng kasalubong mo, tao man na naglalakad, naka-bisikleta o aso. Ikalawa, malusot ka at matapilok sa mga bako at butas sa daanan  . Ikatlo, masagi ka sa siit ng kawayan o ang iniiwasan kong mabunggo ang aking mukha sa nakausling bakal sa may pader. Ngunit higit sa lahat, ang ikaapat na posibiladad ang pinakaiiwasan ko. Ayokong maka-jackpot. Jackpot as in jebs, ebak, tae, poopoo, tachi, ipot  . Minsan nagkalat dun. Di ko malaman kung sa hayop nga ba nanggaling o sa tao mismo. Nakaporma ko tas biglang *masigabong tunog na mas masigla pa sa Wowowee* bibigat ang sapatos ko at makakaramdam na lang ako ng may madulas sa swelas ko. Ayoko namang luluwas ako ng nangangmoy sa fx o bus. Nakakadiri naman yun. TO (turn off)!  Fast forward tayo. Kasi sumakay lang naman ako ng fx at mrt nun. Tapos, bumili ng spaghetti at hamburger sa Wendy's para pang-dinner ko. Eto ko ngayon sa office, 2 at kalahating oras pa ang binubuno bago umuwi. Ay, di pa pala ko uuwi. May bibilin ako sa Glorietta maya-maya. Sayang at di ako makakapunta sa book launching ng Beerkada  . Daan na lang ako ng maaga sa Powerbooks - Greenbelt kasi dun ang venue. Eh, baka maaga sila mag-set up. ****************** Ibabahagi ko lang din sa inyo ang dalawang email na ipinadala sakin kahapon. Yung una ay galing kay Chiela, barkada ko mula college. Yung sumunod mula kay Anne, teammate ko na kakalipat lang ng ibang team (ang gulo). Subject: WHAT IF YOU HAD FOUR WIVES WHAT IF YOU HAD FOUR WIVES(see below-end message) Once upon a time there was a rich King who had four wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off to neighboring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day she would leave him for another. He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he could confide in her, and she would help him get through the difficult times. The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom. However, he did not love the first wife. Although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her! One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short. He thought of his luxurious life and wondered, "I now have four wives with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone." Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I have loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!", replied the 4th wife, and she walked away without another word. Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart. The sad King then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No!", replied the 3rd wife. "Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to remarry!" His heart sank and turned cold. He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?" "I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!", replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave." Heranswer struck him like a bolt of lightning, and the King was devastated. Then a voice called out: "I'll go with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go." The King looked up, and there was his first wife. She was very skinny as she suffered from malnutrition and neglect. Greatly grieved, the King said, "I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!" In truth, we all have the 4 wives in our lives:Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it will leave us when we die. Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, it will all go to others. Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for us, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave. And our 1st wife is our Soul. Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world. However, our Soul is the only thing that will follow us wherever we go.  Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of us that will follow us to the throne of God and continue with us throughout Eternity. Thought for the day:Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray. Pass this on to someone you care about - I just did ---------- PITONG GININTUANG ARAL NI MARIO  si mario ang idol ko. kumakain ng gulay, pumapatay ng mga masasamang pagong, hindi nalulunod, nakakasakay sa mga dinosaurs, nakakapagbuga ng apoy, matinik sa tsiks, mayaman, maraming buhay, lumilipad, mabilis, bibo, kayang sumira ng hollow blocks gamit ang ulo at higit sa lahat, napapatay niya ang mga kalaban hindi dahil sa lakas ng katawan, ngunit dahil isa siyang astig na nilalang. para sa akin, nagawa na ni mario ang lahat. umakyat siya ng mga matatayog na bundok, nilusob niya ang mga haunted house na puno ng impakto, inaabot niya ang ulap, nagsscuba diving, naninira ng mga kaharian. ginawa na niya ang mga pwede pang gawin ng ibang mga characters sa laro. hindi lang si mario ang nagsilbing inspirasyon at ang training ko sa paglalaro ng video games, pero kahit sa buhay, siya ang naging idolo ko. 1) tinuruan ako ni mario kung paano magmahal. baket ba parating hinahabol ni mario si koopa? isa lang naman talaga ang dahilan, kinikidnap ni koopa ang kanyang minamahal, si princess toadstool. taenang koopa yan, ano kayang gusto niya don sa babaeng yon? di naman niya nirarape.. skwater, nagpapahabol lang talaga siya kay mario. pero ayon, si mario, ginagawa ang lahat para lang maligtas ang kanyang minamahal.. kung walang pagmamahal si mario sa katawan niya, taena, hinayaan na niyang mamatay o marape dati pa si princess toadstool. tinuruan ako ni mario na ganon dapat magmahal. kung mayroon kang taong iniibig, gagawin mo ang lahat, lulusubin mo ang kung ano man para sa kanya. may nakukuha ba si mario sa princess pag naliligtas niya yon? wala. walang pera, walang buhay, walang extra stage. kiss lang. matapos ang lagpas 20 na worlds at mga sampung stages bawat world, kiss lang ang binibigay sa kanya. pero sa tingin niyo ba nagrereklamo si mario? hindi. kasi ganon ang pagmamahal, dapat gawin mo ang lahat ng makakaya mo, at wag kang umasa ng kapalit, wag ka umasa ng bayad. umibig ka ng parang hindi ka pa umiibig buong buhay mo, kung magmamahal ka na rin, mahalin mo na ng lubusan. si mario ang nagturo sa akin niyan. 2) pag may tiyaga, may nilaga. si mario ang pinakamatiyagang character na nakita ko. dadaanan niya ang lahat, kukunin niya ang mga pwedeng makuha, kakainin niya ang kahit na anong gulay, sasakyan niya ang kahit na anong dinosaur basta lang makakatulong ito sa kanya. kung ako si mario, matagal ko nang hinayaan si princess toadstool at naghanap nalang ako ng ibang babae. meron naman sigurong ibang babae sa mundo niya. puta, hasel naman yon kung wala. nagtiyatiyaga si mario para makakuha ng isang daang ginto. isang daang ginto para sa isang buhay. pinagtiyatiyagaan niya ang pagkuha ng 100 lives doon sa isang stage na kailangan mo ng dalawang pagong. kung hindi niyo alam yon, kunin niyo nalang yung salita ko: MATAGAL YON. at hindi lang basta basta nagagawa. ilang ulet kong ginawa yon para lang makuha ng tama. pero si mario, kahit ilang ulet, pagtiyatiyagaan niya, at sa pagtiyatiyaga niyang iyon, nakakuha siya ng maraming buhay. 3) pinakita niya sa akin ang totoong ibig sabihin ng brotherhood. hindi masyadong halata sa game, kasi parati silang nagsasalit ng pagkakataon maglaro, pero nagpakita si mario ng matinding sense ng brotherhood. napakita niya rin na nirerespeto niya ang kanyang kapatid. kasi ganito ang storya niyan, si mario, kulay blue talaga dapat ang costume, diba red and blue siya? dapat pure blue lang yon. kaya lang, si luigi kasi, sobrang gusto ang green. nagpumilit si luigi na green dapat ang sa kanya.. hindi nakipagaway si mario, hindi siya nagpumilit, siya ang nagpalit ng kulay. ngayon, baket kailangan niyang magpalit? kasi, alam nila ang ateneo lasalle rivalry, e ayaw ni mario sumalungat, kaya gin awa nalang niyang red. ganon niya kamahal ang kanyang kapatid. sinasakripisyo niya ang gusto niyang kulay para lamang sa ikasasaya ni luigi. astig talaga si mario. 4) siya ang dahilan kung baket ako kumakain ng gulay. ilang beses na akong pinapakain ng gulay ng nanay ko noong bata pa ako. pero kahit anong gawin niya, ayoko talaga. nung binigyan niya ako ng family computer at super mario, dun lang ako nagsimula kumain ng gulay. si mario kasi ang naginspire sa akin. pag kumakain si mario ng mushrooms, lumalaki siya. pag kumakain siya ng bulaklak, bumubuga siya ng apoy. tapos ginagamit niya ito para matalo ang mga kaibigan. ang galing kasi napasok pa ni mario na ang mga gulay, importante para matalo natin ang sarili nating mga "monsters" sa buhay. napasok niya rin ang ideya ng healthy diet. inam. 5) dapat na maging tao tayo ng mundo. lahat ng parte ng mundo, napuntahan na ni mario. bulkan, patag, dagat, bun dok, ulap. parang pinapakita niya sa atin na dapat maging mas malawak ang alam natin sa kapaligiran. hindi dahil nasa patag ka, at komportable ka don, dun ka na parati.. porke taong bundok ka, hindi ka na lalangoy sa dagat. sinasabi ni mario na dapat alam natin ang lahat ng posibleng lugar at maging ok tayo doon. pareho lang dapat ang pagtalon natin sa bulkan man o sa patag. matalinhaga ang linya na yan, hindi naman siguro kayo tanga para hindi makuha yan diba? haha. 6) ang paggamit ng mga bagay sa paligid ay importante sa sariling paglusong. ang resourcefulness ng tao. ginagamit ni mario ang mga bagay sa kanyang kapaligiran para sa sarili niyang kabutihan. naiisip niya na pwede palang gamiting ang shell ng pagong para pampatay sa iba pang pagong. nakita niya na pag nahawakan niya ang bituwin, magiging imposible siyang tablan ng mga halimaw. pinagmasdan niya ang kapaligiran at nakita itong makakatulong sa kanya. 7) ang panghuli, ang paggamit ng utak. nakita niyo naman na si mario, hindi nakikipagsapakan. hindi gumagana ang apoy niya sa mga boss. pero natatalo parin niya ang mga ito. pano niya nagagawa yon kung wala siyang lakas ng braso at mga armas? pinapagana niya ang makinarya sa utak niya. ginagamit niya ang lahat ng kanyang natutunan at kaalaman. dito na pumapasok ang lahat ng konsepto. nadadala siya ng pagmamahal niya sa kanyang princessa. binubuhos niya ang lahat ng kanyang makakaya para sa kanyang mahal. hindi basta bastang namamatay si koopa, kaya talagang kailangan niya itong pagtiyagaan. kumukuha rin siya ng lakas ng katawan at isipan sa kanyang kapatid. inaalala niya ang pagkapula ng suot niya at naaalala niya ang kanyang pagmamahal kay luigi. ang pagkain niya ng gulay ang naghahanda sa kanya sa pagsubok na ito. binibigyan siya ng lakas ng katawan at tatag ng tuhod. ang pagiging tao ng mundo ay ang naghasa sa kanya p ara makaaksyon at makapagisip siya, kahit sa mga hindi komportableng sitwasyon. at ang paggamit niya ng bloke sa paligid o ang pagbalik ng mga tira sa kalaban ay nakikita niya dahil siya ay magaling magmasid ng kapaligiran. ang galing talaga ni mario, at hindi dapat ito basta basta lang kinakalimutan o hinahayaan. **Nag-reply ako sa email na 'to tungkol kay mario. Eto ang isa sa natutunan ko : Natutunan ko kung PAANO MAGMAHAL SA SARILING BANDILA. Di ba tumatalon si mario at aabutin yung flag bago matapos yung isang stage tas papasok siya dun sa palasyo?  ****************** Ngayon, kasalukuyan akong kumakain ng KFC BBQ Burger. Happy weekend to you! Happy rest day to me!

Take Two... AgainFrom one second timer to the other. Last Saturday was my second time to eat in a Yelow Cab restaurant. It's not my first time to eat their pizza. Here in the office, we almost always have one every month. We were not suppose to eat there, actually. Ronchie, one of my teammates, was the one who convinced Goldi and me to eat before the three of us part ways. It was almost 10 am. This other pizza joint somewhere in Park Square was still closed. We waited for about 10 mintues but we got bored. And Ronchie was really hungry. So, we headed to Glorietta. We were not sure of what flavor to order. I was the one who suggested the Four Seasons. We didn't really want a big one. But Ronchie said he'd chip in 500 bucks. Then, he'd take home our leftover for his girlfriend. So, Goldi and I spent roughly about a very little over hundered bucks. I was the one who ordered. And the lady who took my order misheard my name. She printed out "Carlo" in our receipt. We also took three peach flavoured iced tea.
Waiting in vain. It took sometime before my name, oh my new name, was called. They just opened when we ordered. Perhaps, heating of the over took a little while. So, that's my plate with my fork on it. The tissue paper lying just on its left. The powdered chili and chili sauce for that added taste. And my drink to push everything down.
Now the Philippines has Four Seasons. Well, for its pizza, at least. Clockwise, Roasted Garlic and Shrimp, Anchovy Lovers, NY Classic and #4 Cheese. *now I'm giving you that takam look*
I had the one with meat first...
... then, with shrimp after. The first time I dined (Is this the plural form of dine?) in Yellow Cab was November last year. It's their branch in St. Francis Square. I was with Kuya Hans, Jaja, Mayk and Denise. We also took some pictures which could be found somewhere here. Speaking of pictures, my stay there would not be complete without my solo picture.
It was intentionally done this way. An artistic try but I guess it didn't give any justice to the word. What matters is I look good... even in slice. I just had two. Goldi, I think, also had the same. Ronchie? Hmm, he's the hungry one. He took home all that's left.
Bonding moments, he? ****************** Random Thoughts XITom (forgot his last name), a firefighter from NYC, was the winner of Survivor: Palau. he outwitted, outlasted and outplayed Katie, Ian, Jenn, Caryn, Gregg, Janu, Steff, Coby, Willard, Bobby Jon, Ibrehem, Ashlee, Angie, *forgive me, I wasn't able to memorize their names* When the contestants were trimmed down to four, I quickly thought that Ian would be the winner. Unfortunately, he made a deal with Tom during the final immunity challange. All three who remained namely, Tom, Ian and Katie were in one alliance. Ian, asked Tom to chose Katie to be with him the final 2 because he wanted to make his conscience clean and that he was a friend to both Tom and Katie. Katie dropped out first on the last bid for immunity. Tom ang Ian hung on for more than 11 hours. I wasn't able to watch the whole episode including their reunion. I just caught the part when Jenn and Ian had a tie during tribal council votation up to the announcement of Tom's name. I needed to sleep for my work later that day. I really thought Ian would've made it. And I would be cheering, "Skinny people reprezent!" Haha! But the whole showed never failed to impress me. Especially when they have to eat balut in one of the challenges. In another challenge also, a part of the country was mentioned (The contestants were asked what body of water Palau is situated. The choices were given and among the choices and the correct answer was the Philippine Sea.) One of the later challenge, Manila was also used. It was about five or six major cities near Palau. And the contestants were need to take all the answers by rowing an improvised boat (balsa) to get the answers. The cities that were also mentioned were Sydney, Tokyo, New York and London. These things added a big grin on my face. ******** Jerome, from Bohol, won the Search for the Star In A Million in Channel 2. I wasn't able to watch all the episodes from day 1 of the contest. But I made sure to watch the three-part grand finals showdown. The first one was held in Cebu. The next was in the studio. Then, last Sunday's final telecast was in Aliw Theatre. Mabel, the 15 year old (I think) girl from Leyte, was my bet. My she got booted on the third round after she On My Own. All five could really sing. Some do not look like stars. But eventually, they would. No doubt. I am satisfied with the result of the contest. The guy has a good baritone voice. And I think Tagalog songs would be his best weapon to take a spot in the OPM scene. ******** Uchenna and Chip won The Amazing Race 7. I wasn't able to watch the show regularly since my shift starts at midnight and I have to be in the office hours before or else I would be left by the bus or fx. I have no problems with the winner as long as it's not Rob and Amber, the former Survivor contestants. Of course, we all know Amber has $1M already in her pocket for taking the Survivor All Star title. I am happy they landed second. ******** If you like reality tv, better watch Expat Adventures on Studio 23 shown every Sunday at 9:45 pm. It was their pilot episode last, last night. And I'm pretty much entertained by what was shown. The show is about foreigners living in our country. If I remember correctly, there was a student, HR officer, entepreneur, COO, I just couldn't remember the others. Their task is to go to different location around the country and do a challenge. Batangas was their first stop. Two teams composed of four members each were asked to make nilupak, a native delicacy. Then, sell it around town. I also saw the ladies doing that "barker" job in the jeepney. They guys took sometime to learn the local dance there where you have to put small bamboo pieces between on your thumb and on the remaining four fingers. Then, dance to the beat of the sound of those beating bamboo pieces. I think the show would help promoting our country particularly its tourism. The show's host, by the way, is also a non-Filipino national. ******** Check out the newest Jollibee commercial. My former teammate, Richie, was in there. He was the guy wearing that blue long sleeves plus eye glasses. I think the ad was about their new meal. ******** I wasn't feeling really good going to work last night 'til that cup of softdrinks. It was so hot and I think that high temperature brought me headache and dry cough. I still managed to take a nice bath, though water is really scarce during the morning and afternoon in my place. I watched a little tv then prepared myself going to work. My back was aching as I lay down on my bed listening to a cd, trying to convince myself to energize and head to work. I realaly had a sad face that very hour. Could be the first day of work sickness. Also, the fx taxi I took has this weird air conditioning which added to my now very aching head. I needed to grab myself something to eat for dinner. So, I walked in a shopping mall food court and order a meal that would not consume most of my time waiting for it to get packed. I got camaron fritos with free iced tea. I was thinking to throw the iced tea since it was already spilling. I had to take it out the plastic bag so that my meal, which is fried, would not have a soup. But I think twice. Instead of dropping it in a close to my reach trash can, drink it. So, I opened the lid and got a taste of it only to find out that it wasn't iced tea that was given to me. It was cola. A few seconds after, out of nowhere, I felt a little lighter. Perhaps, it was sugar.

Take TwoMy golly! Tao na nga ako.Saturday, May 9th, was the scheduled company outing in Luau, Subic. Though that day fell in one of my rest days, still I did not sign up to join because for me, the best option to spend my day off was to rest. I was sick for the past four days and I badly needed those two rest days of mine. Whenever I am anticipating on my rest days, I always get this different feeling. It's like I never feel tired. I do not get irate to callers. I am on my best mood come rest days. I was alone walking in Ayala Ave. since Ronchie and Goldi needed to catch the 9 am bus going to Subic. So, that Saturday morning, I dropped by the chapel in Greenbelt. And out of nowhere, I just decided to treat myself with a cup of coffee in the nearest, more popular caffeine fix within the area. Hence, Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino (Grande). Hehe! I have to admit. It was my second time to go there and buy something. The first was in Eastwood with Jomark and Mayk after the birthday dinner treat from Jaja and me. I remember Mocha Frap was also my order, then. More worth remembering was Jomark's joke on me, "O, tao ka na, ah." I told them that it was my first time. Hmm, virgin. Haha! Technically, it was my first time to order alone (also my first time in Starbucks - 6750). No friends. No coffee buddy. Just me. At kung mapahiya ako, eh solong-solo ko ang moment. Haha! I always have this weird feeling in going to place where I am not used to. Or if the place is totally new to me, I would really be nervous on what to do. I always feel that I don't belong or I would end up to be the laughing stock of everyone once I make a stupid mistake. You know, I'm not a pro in a lot of things.. even when buying coffee. I have this negative notion on people staying in these coffee places. Well, not all actually. Some sit on the chairs outside the area. Drink, chat, puff. A typical poser, I might say. And I don't like the idea of some who go there just to be "in" or be branded as the "can afford" type, better yet a "konyo" for that matter. I know some things are done regardless of reason and intention. I am just making the situation more difficult and complicated. As Jomark once again told me that there is nothing wrong with hanging out in coffee houses. And even Jaja enjoyed her Starbucks - Tagaytay escapade. Mayk, too, frequents their coffee chain. That gives me the idea to just whip out my cash then take my coffee and sit anywhere I want. Don't mind those around me. Just concentrate on my coffee. The weirdness in me. Haha! Seriously, it is too "up there" when I picture the brand or any other brand for that matter. *thinks about the worsening situation of my beloved Philippines* When it was my turn to buy my coffee, of course, mocha frap was the only one I am most familiar with. Plus I do not drink hot coffee oustide the house. That would just trigger my stomach to ache then my poopoo inside my system would be very motile that I have to excuse myself to go to the nearest rest room. I would not want that hastle. So, iced coffee works for me. While waiting, I get to check almost all the items that fix has to offer. I have to say they're expenssive like their coffee. When I got my cup, I just went to this area where I took a straw and tissue paper. Then, headed out of the place and went towards EDSA. Here are some of the pictures taken while I was walking. Tamang trip. Alam ko kasi na magagamit ko sa post ko, eh.
my already half-filled cup of mocha frap
 this is really mine!
 all I know is that there's whipped cream in it
..and that's the author with his 2nd cup of mocha frap in his lifetime
******** fyi: This would be the nth time that I had trouble saving this draft. I think blogger had its system down earlier. And this post was one of its victims. I wasn't able to retrieve my original draft. Damn!******** While walking, I just thought I am missing out a lot of things. Read : A LOT. I know that I do not have that much active social life. I am a loner and an introvert. And I am so used to that. I love being that, actually. But there's also this part of me that's telling me to enjoy my world some more. See, I just discovered what difference a coffee cup would do me. A jolog could hit the stodgiest clubs and mingle with the most popular clique. Kidding. Isn't it liberating to do a certain thing that you do not usually do? It cracks something within your inner side. And if it felt good, the effect is amazing which brings out a certain lightness from within. Afterwards, you would find yourself doing the same thing once in awhile. So, in my free time, I have added another option than buying cds and malling. Now I could go Starbucks -ing. Hehe! Also, I need not ask my mom a single centavo to pay my cup. I work my ass off and it's nice to know that I could afford to get myself one. A little pride in there, huh? Lastly, I realized that it's not just the mere coffee tendered by the barista. It's just secondary. It's more of the company. The place has this ambiance that could influence or start a good conversation. Grabbing a cup of coffee after work could be stress relieving. What more with a talk over a cup of coffee? I am not promoting the place or brand. I know a hundred plus bucks for a coffee would be really expenssive to spend nowadays. What I am after is the bond and the moment you spend with someone while in there. And of course, I am not suggesting that you try to go there everyday. Socializing and coffee? Make sense to me. ****************** Special thanks to Goldi who's been providing me with my cam phone pictures. My network provider keeps on charging me whenever I try to send a picture from my phone to my email but I never got any. Hmpf! Economics! So, it's from my phone to her phone, to her blue tooth dongle attached to her pc then to my email address. I do not have a digital camera and my own personal computer yet. Camera phone and computer? Make sense to me. Haha! * Even before, I am thinking of being a barista. Subok lang. Malay mo.

Ang Butas... bow!This day falls to be the seventh year of my ear piercing. Yep. Pitong taon at meron pa rin syang butas. So, what's with the piercing? Planado po ang lahat. Pero nagdalawang isip din ako nun. Umaga nang magpunta ako sa SM North EDSA isang araw bago ang 1998 Presidential Elections. 1998? Ibig sabihin kaka-graduate ko lang po sa high school nun. Inisip ko din na wag na ituloy kasi pihadong papagalitan ako. Pero sabi ko sa sarili ko na maisipan ko man na alisin na, eh magsasara din naman yun ng kusa kaya tinuloy ko na din. Kaliwa't kanan pa nga yung pinabaril ko, eh. Bale P100 lang ata nun ang bayad kasama na yung hikaw. Pinaharap muna ko sa salamin at pinatuldukan ng color pen kung saan itatapat yung pambutas. At sa isang iglap, ako'y jeproks na. Haha! Yung gabi ng araw na yun ay sinubukan kong tanggalin yung hikaw sa kanan. Ayun, natanggal pero di ko na naibalik kasi na-shoot sa may kanal yung hikaw. Di ko na nakuha. Kaya hinayaan ko na lang na gumaling yung sugat. Akala ko nga nun na di mapapansin ng nanay ko ang ginawa ko. Pero nakita pa din pala nung natutulog ako. Ilang araw ako kinulit na alisin ko daw. Araw-araw na sinasabihan akong tanggalin yun. Di daw bagay. Di raw mukhang presentable. Pero syempre sa katigasan ng ulo ko, eh di ko pa din inalis. Hehe! Ayan ang istorya kung pa'no ko nagkaron ng hikaw sa kaliwang tainga. At ngayon ay sasagutin ko naman yung tanong ko na, "What's with the piercing?" Hmm, ano nga ba? Kasi ako naman, eh trip ko i-try maski isang beses lang ang lahat ng bagay sa mundo. I-rephrase natin. Gusto kong subukan maski isang beses ang lahat ng bagay na maaaring ibigay sakin ng mundo basta ba di makakasama sa akin. O, klaro? Para sakin, walang masama sa piercing. Maski pa sa tenga, sa ilong, sa dila, sa kilay, sa pusod, sa utong, sa *tooot* pa yan, walang masama dun. Walang batas na nagbabawal. Lipunan lang ang humuhusga sa may mga piercing. Kaya kung kaya mong panindigan at sa tingin mo, eh may idadagdag 'to sa personalidad mo, suportahan ta ka. Wala din 'to sa image sa aking palagay. Kasi ako, eh mala-anghel ang dating ko pero may butas ang tenga ko. Feeling, ah! Haha! Pwera biro. Para ngang di bagay sa simula, pero pag nasanay din, eh normal na lang. Ganun naman parati. Nakakapanibago pag kakasimula pa lang. Balik tayo sa imahe, ah. Sabi ko nga, wala naman halos ito dun kung gugustuhin. May rocker o rapper o singer naman na walang hikaw o maski pa tattoo. Di ba ang ideya natin ng isang rocker ay may hikaw, pintado ang katawan atbp? Wala sa image. Nasa attitude yan. Ang piercing ay hindi simbulo ng pagrerebelde. Pero ako kasi isa sa mga dahilan ko nun ay pa-college na kasi ako. Kaya naisip ko na gumawa ng bago. Sobrang higpit kasi nun sa high school ko. Kaya parang, "O, ano? May hikaw na ko ngayon. Bleh!" ang dating. Pero mali pala na ganun lang ang dahilan. Mas maganda pala na gumawa ng isang bagay na maganda din dahilan. Depende din sa purpose kung bakit gusto ng isang tao magpa-pierce. Yung iba para astig, pang-japorms, para magmukhang siga, o sa mga babae na para magmukhang bitchy o total bitch talaga. Ginawa ko yun kasi nga gusto kong subukan kung ano pakiramdam ng may ganun. Sinabi ko nga na pede ko namang pagsaraduhin pag ayaw ko na. At tsaka sa tenga lang yun. Di ko inambisyon na magmukhang siga. Di din ako nagpakita ng rebellion. Kasi pag ganyan ang rason o gusto kong ihatid, ako din ang maiinis sa bandang huli. O, teka. Mahaba-haba na yung mga nakasulat. Nakaka-bore na masyado. Eto muna ang litrato ng aking kaliwang tainga suot ang ang hikaw na bigay ng aking kapatid. Ilang beses din kasi ako nakawala ng hikaw. Kundi man nawala, eh na-arbor.   Naisip ko din nun na gusto kong i-impress ang iba kong barkada. Gusto kong ipakita na kaya ko din ang mga ginagawa nila. Karaniwan kasi, eh naiisip ko na mas astig sila sakin. Di naman sa ayaw kong magpatalo o kung anuman. Gusto ko ipakita noon na di lang ako "all good." Pero mali pala yun. Dapat kung may gagawin ako, eh alam ko na gusto ko. Hindi yung ginawa ko para lang may patunayan sa iba kasi parang sila ang magiging dahilan ng bagay na yun at di ako. Parang sa kanila magiging dedicated ang nangyari at di para sakin. Yung isa ko ngang barkada, eh nung nakita na nagpabutas ako ng tenga, aba'y nagbutas din. Pero di sa tenga.. sa ilalim ng labi. Talaga namang napagalitan siya ng nanay at ate nya. Mas na-appreciate ko nung college yung paglalagay ko ng hikaw. Kasi more on expression of oneself na, di na para makapag-impress lang. Nung college kasi na-develop yung artistic side (kung meron man) ko. Iba't ibang ka-weirdo-han ang sinubuhan ko nun pero ibang istorya na yun. Mas may sense of individuality na ko nun. Alam mo ba yung kaibahan ng nagsusuot ka ng signature clothes para lang maka-impress o mapagkamalan kang can afford at yung isusuot mo kahit anong gusto mo maski pa isang dekada na ang tanda nung damit pagkamalan ka man na kahit ano? Parang ganun. Andun din yung sense na I'm in control. I'm now responsible for my own body, kumbaga. Di ba iba ang pakiramdam nun? Hmm, wala na naman ako sigurong nalimutan tungkol sa gusto kong ipunto no? Eto na lang. Bilang pang huling salita. Ang piercing mainman sa katawan. Parang gatas. Joke. Basta happy 7th birthday to my left ear piercing!

Hey Ma!Alright, before anything, this would be my Mother's day post. I have to do this in advance since I don't have work on Saturday and Sunday nights to make a post for the ocassion. Allow me to greet my mom, my lola and all the mothers out there a very happy mother's day this coming Sunday, May 8th. My mom is already 53 yeas old, I think. Sorry, I lost count. I know she's born in 1950. So now, that makes her... uhm, just do the math yourself. Anyway, she's strong, beautiful, understanding, loving... these adjectives aren't enough to describe her. But to make it short, she's a mother and a father in one. Yes. She's been that way since my dad passed away back in 1996. Actually, I could not recall any memory of my mom and I when I was younger. I am the eldest. And usually, the eldest would give way for his/her younger siblings when it comes to attention from their parents. I don't want to make any dramatic story here. There's always those tampuhan blues between kids and their moms. I'll just give you a rundown of thoughts on how my mom is especially at home. She doesn't know how to cook. My dad was the better cook. She tried to learn how. I remember she was using this small notebook with her handwritten recipes which she tried to hide from us. My mom brought us to the best schools. She's good in bowling. She even got the highest pinning (women) award during the Banker's Association sportsfest. One of my classmates in high school once told me, "Arnold, nakasalubong ko mommy mo. Kinausap ako. Di ba yung mommy mo yung maganda?" My mom tries to be funny. And when she does, she's really funny. One time, she asked my sister to remove the white hair on her head. My mom was holding a mirror then uttered, "Buti pa ang salamin, di nagsisinungaling." My sister knew it has something but still she laughed. Just out of nowhere my mom said that. So, I think it's the situation that was funny. She nags alot. As in a lot. Before each of us leaves our house, she would go, "Yung panyo mo? O, yung wallet mo. Baka malaglag yan... Magdala ka nga ng bag baka malaglag pa yang bitibit mo... Teka. Teka. Papamalit ko lang to. Ihahabol ko sa'yo... Bilis. Mahuhuli ka na... Naku, ang ate mo talaga. Sinabi na nga bang makakalimutan to, eh. (Kami ang masesermunan at hindi yung nakaiwan)..." She has this way of choosing gifts for someone. My mom loved my dad. She accepted the fact that he has a first family and got four instant ons and daughter care of my dad's first wife. One time, I was preparing to go to school early in the morning, I saw my mom in our backyard. I asked her what she was doing there. She was like looking for something. She replied, "Hinahanap ko daddy mo. Baka kasi nandito lang." That was, I guess, a week after my dad passed away. I think the best proof of her love to my dad is that she did not remarry someone. My mom's still a widow up to this time. She's humble. OC. She would ask us to sweep the floor and apply some floor wax. But after we finish, she would do the same. Sweep the floor and apply floor wax after we've done her request. She's cleaning the house non-stop. Take that literally. You would see her washing the clothes, then cooking the next. She would cut some branches of a tree, the fix the clothesline after. From one chore to another. Unbelievable. She is a father and a mother in one. And it works. ****************** My grandmother is the best in the world. She's 83, I think. She's an undergraduate of B.S. Education major in Math in UST until WWII broke. She had to stop and unfortunately, was not able to continue. But up to know, she helps my younger cousins, her grand children, in their homeworks especially in Math. I remember when we ask her to help us in our assigments, she would tell us first to read our reference book. Then she'd ask, "O, nakita mo yung sagot?" When one said no, she would say, "Basahin mo ulit... O, ano? Nakita mo na?" She won't stop asking you to read and read and read after you've found the answer. My lola is very supportive of us. She loves everyone in the family. ****************** There's something with mothers which I could not explain. And I do not want to argue about that "something" that I might pertain. To my mom, Teresita, and to my mom's mom, my lola, Amada, happy mother's day! Thanks for loving each one of us and for dedicating your life to the family. To all the moms out there, happy, happy mother's day!

Random Thoughts IXI have a runny running nose (I sit corrected  .  Denise) . I'm sick. I'm tired. And I'm about to go home in two hours. Still, I am unwell. But I don't want to be absent tonight.

Anyone who could find or give me a nice replacement would be... uhm, thanked. Kuripot!   Happy, happy birthday to Gill (today, May 5th), Je (15th), Mae (16th) Mitch (16th), my nephew, Jerick and niece, Kaye (forgot your birthdates..sowee) !!!
