first impressions

got to chat with a former acquaintance sa rotc. (itago na lang natin sa pangalang rc.)

as usual, we get tot alk about how life is four years ago... and we get to talk about impressions

i find it really amazing that rc remembered that we were partners during our sit-up sessions. pero mas nakaka-amaze ang initial impression niya.

"first impression? um, siguro cute snob kasi mukha ks talagang masungit at weird kasi active ka sa rotc haha."

i don't see myself sa paraan na nakita niya... that made me think how i was way back rotc days...

ang sinigang

ako ang nakatokang magluto ng hapunan ngayon kasi ay ako lang ang taong bahay. cool, dahil magagamit ko ang skills ko sa kusina...

at ang request ay sinigang...

naalala ko tuloy mga friends ko sa mount pulag expedition... hehe. mishu guys!!!

alay ko ting sinigang na ito sa inyo!!!!

*******

makey recommends...

well, it's also zyreck's and mj's and other people's recommendation...

brazo de mercedes ice cream!!!!

well, my mom saw it in the commercial as soon as she arrived at home. then she craved for it. Told her i'm going to sm, so i can buy it for her.

Zyreck also texted me this morning that he had tasted the said flavor, and he soooooo recommended it. he even urged me to buy it the moment he texted.

Well, it is yummy in the sense that the flavor is something new. It really is. I had countless servings na... Haha

cancelled lantern parade!

ilan pa bang karapatan ang kailangang siilin para sa mga interes ng pamunuan? una, philippine collegian, tapos tuition fee increase, tapos lantern parade?!

nabalitaan kong itinigil ang lantern parade for security purposes. is it? di ba mas threatening ang bomb threats sa college of mass communication every so often kesa sa ipagpatuloy ang tradisyong ipagdiwang ang pasko?

kunsabagay, magdiriwang ka ba kung sinisiil na ang iyong karapatan?

edukasyon ay karapatan

oo. matagal kong tinalikuran ang magkomento at magpaka-tibak, dahil sa dami ng ginagawa, at dahil na rin sa ideyang may nagtutuloy pa ng laban.

ngunit kanina, ganun na lang ang pagkadismaya ko ng malaman kong inaprubahan na ang 300 porsyentong pagtaas ng matrikula sa unibersidad ng pilipinas.

karamihan sa ating mga kababayan ay tinitingala ang paaralan, di lamang dahil sa kalidad ng eukasyon nito, ngunit dahil na rin sa baba ng matrikula, kung ikukumpara sa iba pang mga unibersidad.

subalit ngayon, tila mababasag pa ang pangarap ng ialng mga mag-aaral na nagnananais maging isko at iska, dahil sa pagpasa ng tuition fee increase.

kung ang karaniwang matrikula kada semestre ay pumapatak lamang sa 7000, dahil sa pagpapatupad ng tofi, lagpas 20000 na ang kailangang bunuin ng mga papasok na freshees sa susunod na taon.

isang malaking sampal sa sinasabi ng pamahalaan na prayoridad nila ang pag-aaral ng kabataan, lalo na ang mga nakapasa sa state university.

ngayon ba ay ipapasa na naman sa mga magulang ang mga bagay na dapat pamahalaan ang naglalaan?

nakasaad sa konstitusyon na dapat bigyang prayoridad sa paglalaan ng pondo ang edukasyon at iba pang serbisyong pampubliko. pero ilang taon na nga bang nababalewala ito? ilang taon nang ipinapalit ang libro para sa bala at utang panlabas?

dati, masasabi ko pang walang bahid ng karumihan ang akademya. hindi na pala. hindi na.

mount pulag expedition 2006 special!

Friday, December 8, 2006.

********

a few minutes before 8 pm

Belots and I met at Philcoa to talk about the dinner we will be preparing for the trip. I also met Teki because she is kind enough to lend us her video camera for documentation. As soon as I arrived at the meeting place, I went back to school to buy mini dv’s for our trip documentary. To my surprise, florofoto closed quite early. SO I rushed to Katipunan to get the things I need from National Bookstore.

830 pm.

Got back from Katipunan. Manong Taxi driver is very kind indeed to talk to me while he is driving. I am actually stressed out with the thought that I won’t find tapes that we will use for documentation.

9 pm.

Have to eat while going to 711 branch near Victory Liner. We decided to take a cab fore us to get there.

930 pm.

We are just waiting for Sir DEo, Jeff and Kriska. We decided that we will just wait for them inside the bus terminal. We took pictures inside the terminal,a nd exchanged cellphone numbers, in preparation for the hiking that we’ll undergo in Benguet.

1045 pm

Sir Deo and Jeff came just in time for us to board the bus. I never thought that I’ll be silent the whole trip. Since we are thirteen in the group, I am the odd one out who took a seat beside an old woman. Well, she is nice, but I can’t sleep during the trip because she moves very frequently, getting things from her bag every so often!

4am

We already arrived at Victory Liner Baguio station. It’s freezing cold (not to mention that I was only wearing maong shorts and slip on sneakers)! There are many taho vendors who approached us. We bought taho to beat the cold climate! To our dismay, the taho cools up rapidly! Our first sip didn’t even burn our tongue!

5am

WE went down Burnham park to buy the things that we will be cooking in the campsites. To maximize the time, we had two groups who did the marketing. Toni, Deane and I bought food for dinner and breakfast. The others dwelled on Lunch and miscellaneous items.

6am

I contacted cherish to confirm if she bought rice already. Good thing, I asked. If not, we won’t have rice for 2 days! haha.

630am.

We passed by DILG to get the cameras and cellphones that we left for charging. Then, off we went to BEnguet!

930am

After series of talks and laughing and shooting for the trip documentary, we stopped by to have photo ops at Ambuklao Dam! It really is gorgeous.

11:30am

A few kilometers more, we stopped by JangJang’s eatery for lunch and stopover thing.
There are a lot of Benguet Dogs here, which smells really good, I must say!

WE also had our yosi break, and yes, cared enough not to throw the butts just to ruin nature. Well, Belots’ bonnet is a nice place to put the butts in.

130pm

SOP calls for all hikers to stop by DENR to register and have an orientation. They told us to rush now. They heard that it is already drizzling up there in the mountains.

200pm

WE are on our way up Mount Pulag’s Ranger Camp. There are people who hitched a ride on our jeepney. They’re on the roof, hanging on.

230pm

We started preparing for the big hike. I dressed up in 4 layers of dry clothes, plus my raincoat and bonnet. I also placed plastic in between my socks and shoes to prevent my feet from getting wet. Take a look at the pic now. This will be the last time you’ll see me dry for two days! haha.

3:30 pm

I barely noticed that an hour has passed. It’s freezing cold when it started raining. I can feel the cold wind on my face and hands. I saw my hands transform its colors. From pink, It became white, then reddish, then purplish, then bluish! Grrrrrrr……

530 pm

We arrived at the campsite after hours of hiking, and slipping! (slipped twice) Cherish, Belots and I started preparing the things needed for dinner. The others helped out in fixing the tents. It’s getting darker every minute, (and colder too)!

830 pm

It took a while before dinner became ready for consumption. It was just too cold for the water to heat up and boil. Hay!!!! Sinigang really is the best, especially in this kind of weather!

9pm

it is sleeping time already. I am having a hard time not to shiver. I have changed my shirts. They are all wet by this time. Now, I only have a single layer of dry shirt to keep me warm. My pants are wet too, but my extra pants fell and got wet too! Belots, alex, leanne, Karen and I decided not to sleep in the tents and just stay at the shed. We cannot afford to have our clothes wet again. Good thing, our trek guides allowed us to stay with them at their sleeping space.

930 pm

I thought I slept for hours already. But it has only been 30 minutes. I am shivering. They all panicked. I am at the verge of having hypothermia, I guess. The group helped me to warm up. Then, we all came back to sleeping, except Belots who are too much preoccupied with drying up his clothes using his portable burner.

5am

After series of changing positions, we kinda got our sleep. WE are just expecting the sun to shine sooner. WE weren’t able to go up the highest peak of Mount Pulag because it still is raining hard. And the cold weather is really unbearable. Just imagine that even our warmers are wet!

930 am

After a hearty (but cold) meal, we started to break camp and prepared to take the route back to the Ranger’s camp. It was easier to go down.

12 pm

We saw the biggest earthworm ever in our entire life!!! It was more than a foot long and it is as thick as the fat pencil kindergarten kids use!!!! Belots tried to touch it, but he was warned that the worm was dangerous. It can cause blindness if its blood squirted and hit your eyes.

1pm

Cherish, Belots, Sir Deo and I arrived first at the Ranger Camp. God! Any room with doors and walls can be a great refuge at this kind of weather!!!!!

2 pm

We headed back to DENR to log off. We have some company to join us. They are the four mountaineers, who like us failed to reach the peak of the mountain because of the weather.

245 pm.

WE started buying our “We survived Mount Pulag” shirts at DENR!!!! Then, off we went to hit the road on our way to Baguio!!!!

7:45 pm

HAd to go on a rush pasalubong spree. The ticket that we got was for 9 pm. So, kriska, karen, leanne, tonie and I got on a taxi to go to the market place and get some goodies! Boy, we're sp good! We finished it and we arrived back at the bus station at 8:35pm. Haha!!!!

trip!!!

gosh, i am still preparing for my trip tonight. will b going to baguio, then to benguet for a travel documentary special.

goshness, i am so thrilled. not that i am expecting something bad to happen, but hey... i will miss life when i lose it. haha.

wish us a safe trip guys! pray for us.

wednesday is usch a busy day

we need to meet up today for our conditioning exercises before we head to baguio and benguet this weekend. i won't be late if it weren't for the float parade in monumento. (god, these people, for the sake of some festive moments, they don't mind if a lot of people will be late!!!!!)

anyways, had a doze of running and i wanted some more, but my running shoes gave up on me. thus, i have to stop and borrow a pair of slippers from mike.(thanks mike! i owe you one!)

then, off we went to dona aurora to have our junks weighed and sold. we got 450 for the stuffs that we have collected. haha!

then, we cleaned the tambayan.

and must i say, that i did all those things in my pambahay outfit... harharhar.

benguet! here i come!

i will be gone for three days, starting from december 8 to 10, 2006. will be going to benguet for a class requirement. weeeeeehhhhheeeee. i would like to take that opportunity to take a break from everything that is happening here. i know it still is academically-linked, but i know i'll enjoy it so much!

if you have bilins guys, just leave your comments here before i go on december 8. wish me a safe trip!

thesis mode na!

i took a break from writing my thesis preliminaries by going online and looking for people to chat with. good thing, i found emil online.

i then opened up that i am working on my thesis. he then asked about the topic tht my thesis will be focusing on...

**********

eslunasco: ano meron sa video editing

makey: most of the textbooks and manuals used in the philippines are fom american

smakey: we do not have our own reference books and studies on editing

makey: that is why it is about time that we have an editing manual that is culturally based in the philippine setting

eslunasco: how do philippine textbooks on video editting make it any different?

makey: the organizational structure and equipment are different here and abroad

eslunasco: ah iba pa ba yun

makey: plus w have the concept of freelance editing

eslunasco: hay buti ka pa ang passionate mo pa jan sa thesis mo haha

eslunasco: so iba ang setting natin at never magiging kapareho ng ibang bansa

makey: hay, sana matranslate ko lahat ng sinabi ko sa iyo sa thesis chapter 1 ko...

**********

the last line is so true. it may be easy telling it casually, but my brain is working hard to make these statements as logically as possible when i put it in text!

go thesis!

me, myself, i

i am not perfect. but i love me. no need to pretend i am someone who i am not.

i am not perfect. but my personality is all tha ti can have.

and for that, i stand by me.

AKO TO! Igalang mo.

i was never good enough to all of you

ican you blame me if i feel that way?
i was never that good to you.

i always lack something.
something that my siblings are the ones who only have.

even if i have given my whole self,

it will never be enough.

for you always look for things that i never was,

never am,

never will be...

siena saturday special

our bc 133 class agreed upon having special classes with sir deo's class at siena college.

well, the day was almost totally okay. sire deo treated us out for lunch; our classmates were nice; the classroom was cozy and conducive to learning.

but i miss you... badly...

saturday dawn

i remember how i walk
to reach paradise

paradise with you

that saturday dawn

with the moon to guide

as i walk in paradise

paradise with you

that saturday dawn

it was never ordinary

it never will be

the things that happened to me

that saturday dawn

for it will always be

that saturday dawn

i'll look back to

that saturday dawn i was with you...

tattoo!!!!

i have always been a part of a conservative family. the thing is, i think liberally. that is why a lot of things have been in conflict, especially when i studied in UP.

I did not change. It's just that i was never given the avenue to express my liberal side at home.

so now that i had the chance, i had my own henna tattoo! my parents so hate the thought of having a tattoo, may it be just temporary.

why hate the tattoos that once marked the heroic deeds of our ancestors? why be ashamed to express how you feel? why live in the ideals that were brought by colonizers that they have concealed as the "true" religion?

don't get me wrong. i believe in God. But not in the so-called institutions that led humans to forget their colorful past through rituals and doctrines.

rock back to school

up broadcasters' guild in partnership with 99.5 rt presented rock back to school, a benefit concert for he cares foundation!

i must admit that it took us a hard time for us to push through with the event amidst a lot of crisis that we have gone through. first, the venue, then the equipment, then the weather, then the finances, then more things that came up with regards to marketing and all.

but thanks to you guys who supported our endeavor, all our efforts weren't left in vain.

dissolve na naman!

nung unang araw ng enrolment, di ko inisip na maeenconter ulit kita. kala ko tinantanan mo na ako. pero hindi, tapos na nga ang enrolment, nakapagbayad na ako at lahat, pero eto ka pa rin!

DISSOLVED!!!!!

Di mo ba alam kung ilang buhay ang sinisira mo? Kung ilang bata ang nadedelay dahil sa iyo? Di dahil sa bobo o bumagsak sila, kundi dahil sa kakulangan ng klase na ibibigay ng unibersidad.

Ngayon, imbis na nag-aaral kami, lalakarin pa namin ang pag-aayos ng change mat namin. Hirap na nga sa enrolment, hirap pa sa pag-aayos ng klase na di naman namin kasalanan kung nawala.

Haaaaaa!!!!!!!!

blog!!!! enlistment special

yeah, i know, it has been a while since i last updated my blog. and it is about time that i d oso before this whole sem eats up my whole life. (well, sige acads and other stuff...)

**********

hay, i went early to finish my enlistment way ahead. dahil dating mode ulit, i have to be in valenzuela by 6:30. kaso mo, as usual, di na naman dumating ang adviser ng maaga.

**********

nakuha ko na naman lahat ng subjects ko online. kaso mo, ang dami kong subjects na kinatakutang madidisolve dahil sa kakulangan ng mga estudante.

sa inis ko dahil muntik nang madissolve ang bc 133 (broadcast journalism) , naibulalas ko lang ang matagal ko nang hinaing sa sistema ng edukasyon sa unibersidad. marami kang matututnan sa mga asignatura, ngunit dahil sa ilang kadahilanan, nawawalan ng pagkakataon ang mga mag-aaral na makuha ang gusto nilang kurso dahil sa oras, o sa kakulangan ng bukas na klaseng mapapasukan.

**********

in all fairness, nakapagbayad ako ng wala pang limang minuto sa bayaran sa as lobby. marahil, late nagising ang mga tao dahil pagdating ko ng alas nuebe, lima lang kaming nakapila para magbayad. o malamang, naputa rin sila kahahanap ng klaseng mapapasukan.

sandali na lang, matatapos na rin ako. alam ko mamimiss ko ang unibersidad, pero sana magbago na ang sistema sa mga susunod na panahon. walang mali sa edukasyon. sa sistema, meron. malaki.

first day high...

dahil unang araw ng klase ngayon, minabuti ko nang magpakadisente at mag leather shoes para naman sa magandang first impression ng guro. lalo na't ang unang guro ko sa araw na ito ay ang performance teacher sa pinoy dream academy na si ma'am malou de guzman.

malay mo, ma-discover ako on the first day of school. wahehehehehehehe.

**********

dumating na rin ang bagong equipment namin sa tv studio. ano pa ba ang hihilingin namin? di na vhs ang recording dahil digital na agad ito (via macintosh and avid). magkakaroon na rin ng webcast ng mga productions (uhm.. good nga ba na makita ang bloopers online?) at ang console namin na super dami ng built in effects pero wala nang buses?!?!?!? panibagong kapaan na naman ito...

**********

grabe, dahil di rin kami nasipot ng second period prof ko, e usapan galore lang kami ni ayeen at ng iba ko pang suerfriends!!!!! hay, next week, iba na ang buhay ko. ibang iba sa kain-tulog-exercise-gala-raket routine ko nung mga nakaraan araw...

sa isawan

minsan, sinasabi ng tao ang hirap maghanap ng taong karapat dapat mahalin.

pero ngayon, ayun lang siya sa may isawan.

nakatitig. naghihintay sa isaw. at sa iyo.

sa isawan.

hay! %$#@*

went to my tito in pasig to get something. then i left at once so i can finish my enlistment process that i left at school.

then i rode this darn tricycle on my way out of the subdivision. told him to drop me off mercury drug edsa central. but he brought me to mercury drug kapitolyo. haaaaayyyy!!!

he told me that well, i can walk naman to reach edsa central from there. so, i then followed the direction he gave me. i kept on walking. and in a while, i sense that i am just making myself more lost.

i just called on a cab and then off i go to edsa...

salamin modus operandi

dati na akong ganito, nangunguha at nanghihiram ng salamin ng iba, isusuot, at pipicturan ang sarili.

***

for this day, ang featured eyewear of the day ay kay parekoi ron. waheheheh. wala namang grado sinusuot pa! buking. (peace tol...)

3g made me more kapamilya!

dahil sa lakas ng globe, naging mas kapamilya ako. have been watching kapamilya shows in my phone. channel 2 pa lang kasi ang nasesetup e. we'll see kung ganun pa rin ang magiging judgment ko pag naset na ang channel 7 sa live streaming.

it made my life easier. trust me! i can watch tv anywhere i want!!!! maski habang nagnenet ako. cool.

blonde...

did i tell you, i had my hair colored blonde this vacation. well, it's a long time thing-to-do-in-my-list sort of thing. and yes, today, i made it happen...

(wag react masyado... light lang at subtle naman...)

ang pagkabuhay ni dodong dantis

Friday!

ang pagkabuhay ni dodong dantis

after a day of cramming and brainstorming as to how our final radio production should be, here we are now… rehearsing for the last time outside cmc.

and as promised, everybody did follow the dress code. hehehe.

****

the morning started when I got a call from Camille, my groupmate. when we were in Jollibee last night, we decided that we have to call each other this morning so we could start the day right.

after I got a call, it was my turn to call wendy.

****

Class time came. We are the second group to perform.

I really am nervous as to how our professor would react to our script. But we just thought that we just have to enjoy this production. The story is an original piece, and we owe it to our group to come up with such unique and lovely story.

***

“Enehahandog ng Niskapi Productions ang…

“Midnights with Dodong…”

The next thing I knew, this Visayan guy took over my being in the next few lines. The good thing is that this Visayan guy knows when to leave.

You see, this production requires us to have multiple roles in the production. So in the story, I took the role of Dodong, A dad, and an Aswang.

I was relieved when I saw everyone outside the classroom laughing. This is what we really wanted. We intend to keep them laughing at the narration of the horror stories, but keep them longing for more suspense in the other parts.

I really find it difficult not to laugh especially when I see their reactions through the glass screen of the live studio booth.

****

as expected, we have to stretch because we lack 45 seconds to complete the required 20 minutes radio drama air time.

We prepared well by talking as to how we could pull an impromptu dialogue among Dodong, Ati and Koya. Wahehehehehe. We ended on the nose. Got 1.5 for that. Wahehehehe.

Kudos Guys!!!!!!!! I really enjoyed working with you!

Ang kakapal ng fez!!!!

Today, we have to prepare for our final radio production. I am against using an adaptation of the script since we will be having difficulties internalizing for the roles.

We almost lost hope and almost ended up using this radio script that wendy found on the net. Bu then, our creative juices began to pour. Thus, we have created a masterpiece story that is a parody of Dingdong Dantes’ horror show.

We ate dinner somewhere in Philcoa, then proceeded to eat dessert at Jollibee. There, we rehearsed our lines as of we were the only people in the establishment. waheheheh. Mga masscomm talaga. makakapal ang fez.

Sleepless. (Subtitle: Ano'ng petsa na?!?!?)

Chris and I are almost done editing the canned drama production. We just have to finish doing the subtitles since there are some portions that are not audible.

Haaaaayyyyy!!!! Kinukulit ko na nga lang si Chris para di ako antukin at nang matapos na lang itong ginagawa namin e.

10-10-06

i was thrown off.
i told myself, i'd allow anyone to pick me up.
and today, somebody did.

Tulog!

After 2 weeks of not having decent sleep, I got my well deserved rest. ang sarap matulog grabe!

Nag edit kasi kami ni chris for a friend/client wyndee who has to submit a sports feature today at 12 noon.

Doon na ako nakitulog sa boarding house nina chris kasi naman we have to work on the feature.

Muntik na akong Manakawan

My sister and I went to the mall kanina to have fun and to do some errands. sa sm marilao ito. we decided to try out this food chain sa food court. while we were eating, this mama tried to make puslit my bag with the razor phone and atm card. naitabi kasi ng sister ko sa upuan sa tabi niya. originally, the bag was placed on the table.

Then, I shouted hey! He returned the bag that he tried to make puslit. but I have to call the guerds. He then ran and got lost.

So to remind you guys, please do not put your belongings in a place na di niyo mapapansin. okie?!?!?!

Interview!

After na mag back out ng interviewee naming for today, nakuha ko naman si ate honey from Asia America initiative to be our guest speaker. Ang dami niya nashare sa amin na wonderful experiences regarding her line of work.

ang concept kasi ng show naming ni partner cams ay “Buhay at Hanapbuhay” kung saan kikilalanin ang tao sa likod ng bawat trabaho.

wahehehehe.

We pulled it off. Sabi nga ni Cams, parang blessing in disguise to kasi mas gumanda pa yung discussion namin than the original plan.

Thursday High

Ang tagal na mula ng huli akong dumaan at tumambay sa tambayan naming. Ang dami kasing ginagawa e. Pero ngayon, dinaan ko yung tapos na na documentary nina cris para maisubmit na nila.

Sa wakas, natapos na rin ang dokyu nila. Wahehehe.

Before ako magtungo sa school, nagbreakfast muna ako sa mcdo panay ave. Nagmamadali kasi akong umalis e kaya dun na ako kumain. Pag ka cr ko, me sumanggi sa akin. Nag sorry siya. Di ko na lang pinansin. Tapos, bumalik siya para tanungin:

“Tiga- Cubao ka ba? Pakiramdam ko kasi, kilala kita e. Me kamukha ka kasi”

Sabi ko hindi.

Ano to, pick-up line?

Duh!

At ganun din ang sinabi sa akin ni Faye pagdating ko ng CAL. “Me kamukha ka.”

Ano kayang meron?

Come afternoon, nakita ko si cheska at naisipan naming tumambay muna sa tambayan. Ang dami talagang kwento pag matagal nang di nagkikita ano?

Sosyal! Nag-cab!

Monday! I am rushing today! As in, I have to arrive at CNB at 8:30 for the submission of cris’ documentary. I have to take the cab so as not to waste precious time. Isa pa, di naman convenient sa akin na mag bus na me dalang laptop, digicam, videocam at marami pang iba diba?

God! I am so late na.

Tapos nun, di kami nagkaintindihan ng groupmates ko regarding the 103 activity ngayon. So we have to rush typing things during lunchtime. Nakita pa nga kami ni Ma’am na nagtatype sa skywalk. But we made it naman. And sabi pa ni ma’am, sa amin ang me pinakamalapit na theme sa devcomm. So much for cramming and rushing.

After that, I have to meet cris and nikki for revisions sa docu nila. Nagbigay daw ng extension e. So me time pang pagandahin.

Saturday Delight

I went to Philcoa around 1 pm to meet Cris and Kesterson as well as the other guys. They are my clients who needs to have their documentary footages edited. The thing is, ayun, walang kuryente sa QC so we have to go to my place pa. Cris decided that he will join me in the editing process. Para rin me mag-guide sa gusto nilang mangyari.

Dahil walang ilaw sa Quezon ave, naisipan namin ni Cris na sa SM na lang sumakay. Ang freaky sa SM. Madilim, di gaanong kalamigan, at may kakaibang klase ng katahimikan. Alam mong me kulang.

Nakaabot rin kami ni Cris sa bahay. Pero Lo and behold! Kulang ang mga naburn na files nina Faye at Milcah. So Kester has to drive from Banawe to Makati to Bulacan just to bring the laptop to us. Ala una na nang narating ni Kester ang Bulacan.

Magsisimula na kaming magtrabaho nang magbrown-out. Alas tres na nang nagkailaw. Saktong sakto dahil patulog na kami ni Cris nun e.

So balik trabaho mode na ulit. Aalis dapat si Cris ng alas 5 ng umaga. Pero nag-extend siya hanggang ala una para lang masiguradong ayos na lahat.

Bagong Phone!

Kailangan ko na talaga ng bagong telepono dahil nagloko na ng fatale ang phone ko.

Ang solusyon, ipinaayos ko ang cellphone kong 6600 para maipaswap sa N70! Bwahahahahahahah!

At sa huling beses, sinabi ko. Hindi na ako magpapalit ng telepono. Dadagdagan ko na lang. Bwahahahahahaha ulit.

Bagong phone. Bagong buhay. Bagong ala-ala.

pag-ibig... ganyan talaga...

pag-ibig.

masakit.
nakakasakit.

mahirap bitiwan.

kahit na mabigat sa damdamin.

hihilingin mo na lang.

sana kayakap ko siya...

hangganga walang matirang sakit sa puso...

puro lang pagmamahal...

i am back

by the way, something is wrong with the globe network. so i am using my sun number.

sige, hafta go. i have a lot of catching up to do since i have been away for three days! tata!

ur so damn hot at 39.2 degrees

a friend (na itatago natin sa pangalang teejay) texted me that after i told him that i was rushed to the hospital a while ago.

here is the whole catch.

i woke up this day, feeling so hot. i just thought it was an ordinary fever or flu thing. so i tried to rest, drank medicine, slept, and ate.

come evening, i was so flustered, my body felt hotter, but i am shivering, amidst the fact that the fan is off, the windows are closed, and i am totally covered.

mom rushed me to the hospital na, kasi baka malala na raw sakit ko. had some lab tests done to determine if it is dengue or typhoid.

lab results show that i have excessive phlegm build-up in my throat and air passage ways. then, bacterial infection ensued.

have to take antibiotics until next week. and i need to have total bedrest.

now, i am in this hooded jacket for me to have maximum sweating opportunities.

wahehehehehe.

guyz and gals...

just took some time off to blog.

heinaku. minsan talaga ang sakit ay bumubulaga lang kung kailan mo siya hindi kailangan.

i have a newscasting production sa 102 by friday. so i need to have my voice sobra!

pero napansin ko rin na super stressed na naman siguro ako dahil sa bulemic na naman ako e.

sana makarecover na ako sa sakit ko. at sa sakit.

good night everyone!

T.T

T.T

Yun na nga lang ang magagawa ko.

Para lang mabawasan lahat ng sakit na nadarama ko.

Para mailabas lahat ng hinanakit sa puso ko.

Napagtanong na rin ako. Bakit ba namimili ang tao ng mamahalaling iba ang sinasabi ng puso at isip. (kung anuman ang gusto nitong sabihin)

mas nakakatakot na malamang isip na lang niya ang nagsasabing mahal ka niya. na hahanapin niya kung nasaan ang pagmamahal niya para sa iyo sa puso niya.

masakit.

na kahit ilang beses kang umiyak, andun pa rin ang sakit.

a monthsary it is...

supposedly, i should welcome this day with a smile.

i guess that is not the case.

what if ngayon malaman mo na pagod na pala siya at manhid sa iyo. sa mga
pagmumuryot mo.

pano kung humingi na siya ng panahon sa iyo?

para hanapin ang pagmamahal niya sa iyo?

pano kung gusto na niya ng panahong malayo sa iyo?

pano?

pano?

pano kung ang buong puso mo ay sa kanya na?

ngayon pa na inihanda ko na ang sarili kong ibigay ang lahat sa kanya...

post production= inuman!

rica dropped us off sa katipunan pagkatapos ng shoot sa las pinas. officially tapos na ang shoot para sa "making love" tv production. kaya fatally happy ang mga lolo at lola niyo.

we decided to get some alcohol in our system para naman marelax ng konti.

pero naiyak talaga ako. promise.

naubos ata lahat ng tawa ko sa sasakyan.

i texted mom and jil about what i really feel after a few sips of beer.

a few moments pa, ok na ako. kinda succeeded in setting negative thougths aside.

pero iba pag magisa ka na. wala nang yosi. wala nang alkohol. walang maingay na musika.

ikaw na lang at ang hinanakit na dala dala mo

putsa! mahal ko siya! mahal na mahal ko siya.

lasing ako, pero tanda ko lahat ng sinabi ko nung gabing iyon.

sabi ko nga, pag nakainow ako, my mind stops rationalizing, and my heart takes
over.

na nasabi ko sa sarili kong masarap at masakit na magmahal. at handa akong maramdaman yun para sa kanya.

na naiinis ako at masaya sa kanya kasi mahal na mahal ko siya...

mahal na mahal ko siya...

ang hula

habang nagpapahinga, i saw menard on the set, making hula some persons. i know how to make hula asa well, pero para naman akong tanga kung huhulaan ko sarili ko diba
so kinulit ko si menard para hulaan ako.

excerpts from what he said.

- "click" kami sa isa't isa.

- we have grown apart, physical distance-wise.

- that i have other ideas of an ideal relationship that i am still looking for at present

- that i am still happy amidst that fact.

i find these true. recently, we are doing a lot na. we have lots of businesses to worry about. at aminado ako na napapabayaan ko na siya. that i throw tantrums coz i crave or demand for something. na nasasaktan ako. pero sa kabila nun, di ko kaya na mawala siya.

las pinas escapade

well, this time, mas maaga ang call time bacause we will be shooting at las pinas sa bahay nina mel. ang nice ng house in all fairness.

nadelay lang kami ng pag-alis. which means that one hour ding delayed ang mga shoots for today.

mas naging malapit lahat ng mga casts at crew today.

i guess yun ay dahil sa interactions that we had during the shooting dates. at ngayon kasi, magkakasama na kami sa mga scenes.

delay!

nadelay ang conference room scene dahil sa delay sa power up gym. so lahat ng mga tao na naiwan sa conference room ay nag usap usap na lang.

at dahil sa ang mga gamit na kailangan para sa make up and hair do ay di makita, nag improvise and mga tao ng fatale.

instead of curlers, at pentel pens at clips with gel an g ginamit. blower na lang ang kulang.

so sabi ko, inom akong kape tapos e iihip na lang ako.

i meant it as a joke. but lo and behold, after quite some time e dumating ang coffee courtesy of bebang.

wahehehe.

well, medyo na agit na ako around 330 kasi me imimeet ako ng two o clock. at dahil di pwedeng magbukas ng phone during the shoot, e di ko siya macontact. ala pa ako lad. huhuhu.

530 na ako nakarating sa galleria. i am so late!

got to meet two nice persons: myrtle and ms gina. for one, they are really nice. and two, i can say that they are real nice friends.

the golden rule

benta ang mga quotable quotes ko today...
(pero di sakin nag-originate. kumbaga e naproliferate ko na lang...)

the golden rule:

unto unto others...
unto unto you...

and

absence makes the heart grow chuva!

dior!

well, masanay na ako na tatawagin ako ng mga tao sa ganyang pangalan. because the bc 130 production shoot already started!

grabecious na ito. todo todo dior powers! i-test daw ba itembang ni ma'am jane sa pagtatanong ng kung ano ang kulay na bagay sa kung kani kaniketch?!?!

i was asking for internalization and motivation. pero di kineri mineli ng powers itech na gawin ito. wahihihi. enuf of that na nga!

the shoot was totally enjoyable. sobra. minsn nga naiiisip ko, i was born to be a star. (asus!)

at ika nga ni buddy bambam, title pa lang ng courses sa bc, pang showbiz na!

the star!

have to wake up early today if i do not want to be late for the call time in 130 and ruin the whole production.

well, i came earlier than the call time.

i found out that we will not go to the gawad kalinga location and have the scenes shot at the parking lot of cmc.

tapos nun, i rested for two hours kasi di naman ako kasama sa shoot sa power up gym. marami nga raw akong namiss na eksena dun, pero ok lang. i need a break.

walang nagawang tama

siguro nga, pagpatol mo sa akin ang pinakamalaking pagkakamali mo sa buhay mo. na ang tanging magagawa mo lang ay bumuga ng bumuga ng putaragis na usok na yan. go ahead. ituloy mo. sino ba naman ako para itama ka. when in fact, i make things go wrong for you.

wag kang mag-alala. wala ka nang iintindihing dapat pagtaguan. hindi mo na kailangang tignan pa ang paligid mo kung me kakilala ka, lalo na't nakapag-aral na ng buhay ni Rizal. hindi ka na rin maiilang. ibinabalik ko na sa iyo ang lungga mo. sa iyo na ang kolehiyo mo.

i know better now.

whattatuesdey!

as expected, di naman ako nagising on the time that i should be. mag-eedit kasi ako today kaya kailangang magmaaga. ngayon na namin iaarrange ang musicall scoring ng aming commercial for the podcast na requirement sa bc 111. waheheheheh.

i actually started editing around ten na after trouble shooting some things sa protools unit na ginagamit ko.

afterwards, ill go naman to bc 121 meeting para sa conceptualization ng drama script.

tapos nagset ako ng meeting na muntik ko nang malimutan. buti nalang at nawiwi ako at lumabas ng editing room at nakita ang mga kameet ko. waheheheheh.

tapos off naman ako sa office of counselling and guidance to have an interview with ma'am boots de mesa. i need her professional opinion kasi regarding the documentary that we will be producing. sinamantala ko na rin ang pagkakataon ang counselling opportunity na ito. have to let go of a lot of things in my chest.

history repeats?

i was planning to wake up a bit early today to accomplish somethings.

But i guess, it was meant not to happen. even if i have set the alarms on the two phones, it didn't wake me up! eniweiz, i wasn't late for class. it's just that i could have accomplished more if i woke up a bit early.

was talking to ma'am estonilo who is sick today. she actually remembered me being sick a week ago. now, she told me that she was feeling what i went through last time in class.

i actually dressed up for today's occasion coz i was expecting to meet some of jil's friends today at cine adarna. but i got kinda confused with my dates... shucks!

but the effort wasn't wasted coz we actually scouted the mall and strutted our thangs.

recommendation of the week:

wham burgers!!!!

yummy!

tigidong!

FATALE!

Yan lang ang masasabi ko sa tigidong scandal na allegedly e si Ali Sotto!

Wala naman akong care sa kung sino ang kumanta niyan. Basta ang alam ko e nagamit ang creativity sa ka-elan ng pontio pilatong ito. wahehehehe

god...

after almost being flattened yesterday, i got another scare. Jil was almost hit by an FX! Syet talaga! Ano ang mangyayari sa akin pag maaga akong mabalo?!?!?!? Paano ako...

smooth and mellow

here we go again sa eer love kong class: ang bc 102.

we had a graded exercise again, at this time, babasahin na namin ng buo ang script ng dairyland longhorn cheese commercial at ang ever sikat na linya: milk from happy cows!

at dapat lang na smooth and mellow ang pakiramdam namin after we did some relaxation exercise!

spot of collision

i have never been this close...

to death...

or injury...

hay, this is what happened!

today, we will be producing a commercial jingle. we rented band equipment from kuya don, who lives in montalban, rizal. i need to borrow my uncles pick-up to bring the equipment to school.

we finished around 7 pm. off i go back to montalban again to return the equipment. Then, i returned the vehicle in pasig. I commuted on my way home to bulacan.

Gosh! This bus knows how to piss off passengers. we spent 20 minutes in megamall, then 25 minutes in robinson's, then 15 minutes in farmer's because they have to get passengers! Duh.

I can actually tolerate the waiting. but not my life being endangered!

While getting in one of the slots in SM North Edsa (the one made by Bayani Fernando), the bus i am in collided with another bus. And the point of collision is the same spot i am sitting on!

I felt the other bus through the window frame...

And the only word i can utter is Syet!!!!!

TUESDAY GALORE

Minsan, napapatunayan ko that knowledge comes with age. Got a prize from ma'am jane for getting the ancient term for special effects... CAMERA TRICKS! Sabi niya medyo matanda na nga ako dahil alam ko pa siya.

Actually, i do not mind being called "matanda" naman. E ano ang magagawa ko diba? It actually works for me most of the time.

Got an invitation pala from BC 130 class to be a part of their actors sa gagawin nilang Class Production... Hmmmm... Pwede! (Yun e kung papasa. Baka sa VTR pa lang e... )

(I'll back post in a while. Di ko lang kasi maaccess yung files ko sa flashdrive ko eh.)

A FAILURE

Sometimes, i strive to be the best in all aspects of life. And in doing so, i failed to be someone who knows how to love right.

It all hit me right in the face. All of a sudden, the illusion that everything is alright suddenly shattered.

I know I am not perfect. But i can be very close to it. Which i failed to do so. And in that regard, i am sorry for putting you down.

GAME KA NA BA?

Namangha ako, not for any other reason. First time ko na napanood ng buo ang bagong format ng Game Ka na Ba? for the first time. Ngayon lang naman kasi ako napakali ng bahay eh. Ganun pala ang feeling ng nadeprive sa TV morning shows noh. Alienated ako, as in. Ang tanging napapanood ko na lang naman kasi ay balita at teleserye ano!

no more spicy food young man!

had my dental check up today with this new dentist. she happens to be our neighbor lang, so instead of going to my dentist (which is 5 km away), dun na ako nagpalinis.

but before i went there naman, i had my precautionary tactics naman. my whole family went there before me. after positive feedbacks, e di go na rin ako.

so, after a bloody cleaning time... i was advised not to eat spicy foods very often. since it caused my gums to be uber sensitive... ayan...

anu ba yan, kakakain ko pa lang naman ng sweet n spicy lucky me before i went there...
but in all fairness, ang sarap ngumiti! diba dibs bhebhels?!?!?!

bedridden

went to my prof in radio speech yesterday to inform her that i just got stomach flu and cough and colds. i needed to tell this to her because we will be having oral midterms examination today.

she told me that if i still do not have my voice back by this morning, i'll have to take a make-up exam next week. which i will be doing since my voice still is fluctuating when i woke up.

hay naku...

so all i have to do today is to rest and take lots of fluids para naman gumaling na ako agad...
sorry bhe, i know i promised today to you for me to make up with all my shortcomings...

SUPER K RETURNS

UP BROADCASTERS' GUILD participated in this years Alternative Classroom Learning Experience. The said activity was organized by the Education Committee.

A lot of things turned out to be the opposite of what we wanted to be. a lot of hoolaboos happened. but i am very thankful to say that we pulled it off with the help of everyone in the organization.

i did learn a lot in this said activity when it comes to event organizing and stuff.
at least i can breathe now that it is over... at least...

but you know what! there is this super b in my life. you know who you are. thanks for taking good care of me...

ang magasin, baw!

today, i will be the first producer of the magazine show. I have named my masterpiece student trip!

up anino has been so kind to me by gracing my production. thanks guys! you really made this production possible!

no major boo-boos naman for today's prod... and i did fairly well as compared to my first newscast production.

but after all that has happened today, sumama talaga pakiramdam ko... at ang napagbuntunan ko ng galit ay ang bhebhe ko... sorry po ha... di na mauulit...

monday sickness galore

i am not feeling well today, but well, life has to go on. attended my writing class, then met fred, up anino member to get a cd from him, then did cut outs of the set that i will be using for tomorrow's magazine production. then, i still followed up on the ACLE's venue pa and stuff.
ayun tuloy, fatale lagnat ang inabot ko...

snappy makey...

ang tagal nang panahon mula nang marinig ko ang salitang snappy...

that was almost three years ago.

Pero pinaalala siya ng isang former cadet na itago nalang natin sa pangalang teejay. wahehehehe.

NAgtampo nga sa akin to dati e. Buti ngayon di na. Sorry na talaga ha. Peace na tayo, bro.

whew...

it really is difficult to recall all things that have happened in a month.

all the other posts from july 4 were all remains of my stock knowledge. kakabuhos ko lang ng lahat ng iyan a few minutes ago. kasi naman, life has been too busy for me kaya di na rin ako nakakapagupdate.

THe good thing is i kept pictures of some incidents in my phone. So somehow, may basis naman ang mga narratives ko. I'll try to update na rin regularly para naman di na rin nasasayang ang ilang aspeto ng buhay ko... wahehehehe...

isa pa, medyo dumadami na ata ang followers ko e... tama va? please leave comments na lang para mapatunayan ko kung tama nga ang claims ko... wahehehe

Let's Get Physical!

Well, because we aim to become well-rounded persons, our professor in BC 185 integrated Multiple Intelligences in our lessons.

And for this day, it's Bodily Kinesthenics intelligences.

Aside from learning a lot from News Research, we were able to win donuts for the group by engaging in games like funny bones and picnewsary (a combination of charades and spell-out-the-word-with-your-butt).

THis truly is one amazing class: learning and enjoying!

JINGLE...

As agreed upon in the syllabus of the Advanced radio Production, we will be producing the commercial jingle of our podcast. (please watch out pala for our podcast about the Filipino YOuth ha...)

Hay, ang bangag palang magcompose ng jingle pagkatapos ng isang major tv production... nakakadrain na nga ng utak, nakakadrain pa ng utak... (wahehehehe)

Hay, naku. Buti na lang we pulled it off. I sang the demo. Yes, i did. Buti na nga lang small class kami e...

pasensya na...

i feel really selfish now.
i hate myself.
for being so sensitive to my needs
but as numb as a rock when it comes to yours...

i have been a jerk today.
making you wait
causing you not to do things as you must.

i apologize.

my sincerest apologies and love.

Lucky 7

Luck seven indeed.
After all things that have happened.
Or those that have not.

The road seemed too short.
The road towards where we are now.
But not to me.
Not to us.

For the path taken is not easy.
Nevertheless, it is all worth it.
All worth it.

HATak HATtack- the UP BroadGuild Acquaintance Party

There i was, holding the headgears that i previously wore during my ROTC days...

Why?

Because, we had our Acquaintance party at TOMATOKICK. And by the way the title of the event sounded, we do deserve HATS-off just by pulling it off.

So, kanya-kanyang drama ang mga tao sa paghahanda sa okasyong ito. Pero di mo kakayanin ang effort ni BeLotz. Magpinta raw ba ng mushroom headgear from tissue at newspaper at bucket ng KFC! wahehehe. He ended up being a winner. SIgh! so much for me having the award... wahehehehe

And of course, i have to commend the crab hat ni OLAN! wahihihihi. looks good on me too!

What a worry-free day, ayt?!?!?!

Because of the storm, our newscast production was moved from tuesday afternoon to wednesday morning!

And there's nothing that we can do but to produce.

I am the first producer of the day. and we have to admit, it is very hard to do so. It is difficult to do something for the very first time, even if you do think that you have prepared well for it.

besides, Murphy's law came into being today. (If something wrong can happen, it will...)

Hay, too much for my First newscast production.

Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal!

Well, during the first episodes of the show, i didn't actually like it. But as it progresses, i actually got hooked. Not for Kris Aquino (don't get me wrong, i admire her) or for the 26 K's, but for the thrill of answering for the player, screaming at the top of your lungs the decision you would have made if it were you who was playing.

Anyways, walang koneksyon ang KDOND sa entry na ito. Gusto ko lang ishare yung itsura ng case ng condenser microphone namin na ginagamit for studio recording.

Looks familiar diba?

NELSON!

Yesterday, my friend from La Union Arrived today at Manila to visit us.

But, because of untoward incidents (like the extension of my production class and the scarce UP-SM jeeps), he waited so long. Putting it in his words, "na-try na niya lahat ng posisyon ng pag-upo sa SM".

Nakaganti naman siya, dahil ilang beses niyang tinry na sundutin ang pwet ko ng payong niya! Kamusta naman ang gawin niya yun sa corridor ng SM diba?

But as soon as he went for a visit, the time came for him to go elsewhere and pursue what his heart wants to do.

Ngayon, umalis na siya... :(

Go! Goodluck sa lahat ng mga umiibig!

ABS-CBN!

Today, Chris, Ice and me went to the ABS CBN compound to interview Mr. Noel Alamar, a reporter from Radyo Patrol, DZMM 630.

Yes, we waited long at the entrance, and we met a lot of people who really wanted to go inside the compound just to see artists, even without tickets.

And did i just say that the guards at ELJ building and at the Visitor's entrance resemble each other! as in!!!!

A day at the PIA

Woke up at around 4 am just to ensure that i won't be late for the meeting at mcdo philcoa around 8:00. We will be going to PIA to interview Ma'am Fe nicodemus of KAKAMMPI and Buhay Migrante.

I wasn't able to eat breakfast because i feared that i would be late. But as soon as i have arrived at Mcdo, there was only cesar who was waiting for me.

I was able to eat breakfast. still, other group members were out of sight. Hay...

We took a cab na, kasi ayokong malate sa appointment. Good thing, we came minutes earlier that the schedule.

After we got the interview, we were requested to grace the radio show at DZRM 1278. The show aired form 11:30 to 12:30. It was really nice and cool. We didn't feel the tension at all, di tulad ng tension na nararamdaman namin kapag sa radio studio kami sa school nagsasalita... (pano ba naman kasi, nakaka ajit naman talaga ang possibility of singko sa production pag nagkamali ka ano...

Hay... kakapagod!

Ako ang inyong Tiya Dely...

Today, Tiya Dely was awarded as an outstanding media practitioner in the field of Radio. Imagine that she spent almost 7 decases of her life to pursue her love for the radio industry.

almost 7 decades have passed, but her voice remains unchanged. Her physical body may have deteriorated, but not the live soul from her speech.

And today, the BC 121 Class were all dignified, with the formal attires we were wearing.. We served as the ushers for that day, and we were also covering the event for our radio speech class.

FLU...

makey_upd: Sometimes, it pays to drink your vitamins regularly...
alfa: and enough rest too

That is how my conversation with my boss went when we chatted. Why? Because i told her i have just finished nursing my grandma and my mom who presently have flu.

Haaaayyyy... Sa panahon ba naman ngayon, bawal magkasakit ano?!?!?!

TBS galore

After long days of not being able to sleep and eat, and have a lovelife, the TBS is finally over.

I must say, there may have been some hang-ups (like lack of members who attended and materials that needed to bge bought on the way...), the TBS was a success.

We all have learned from it. And all these things can also be applied to oher aspects in life.

And after all, lumebeleb ang TBS na ito dahil ginanap ito sa restaurant na pagmamay-ari ng pamilya ng National Artist, si Abueva.

The place is owned by my orgmate Jali. Ang ganda ng paligid. Higit sa lahat, maraming art items na naroroon.

At sino ba ang tatalo kay Brownie, ang koi na super friendly. Sa super friendly niya (or may i say kasibaan), kinakain niya ang fish pellets right from our hands!

M.I.- Multiple Intelligences

As part of our requirement in BC 185, we had answered a questionnaire to gauge our multiple intelligences. Mine, clearly points out that i am linguistically gifted, but there still is room for improvements in other fields.

Nga pala, nanalo ang LAsagna Boys over Spaghetti Strap girls and Fettuccini Trio sa M.I. 1 challenges! (not minding the fact na dalawa lang kami ng thesis partner ko na si chris!) Ahihihihi.

We soooo deserve the food prize! Ahihihihi

U.P. A.Y. 06-07 (1st term)

Yeah, it has been a while since i updated this blog. So let me do so now by having a rundown of the classes that i am enrolled in this semester.

MOnday (1-4pm) BC 103 (Fundamentals of Radio Writing)

As a jumpstart to all the things that we wil be doing this semester, we were asked to interview a classmate. Afterwhich, we will introduce this guy or gal to the class. Whoa!

Got to interview my orgmate trish.

Yeah, it was a heck of an activity, done with wit and the element of fun.

Tuesday (1-4pm) (Television Production and Direction)

Aha, we get to play the boss (and a whole lotsa crew functions during this semester).

We were asked what kind of T.V. show can best describe our personality...

I was actually joking about using the show "Ang pangarap kong Jackpot", pero at some point when i was in that class, well, yeah, that could be it. I just realized that my life is a series of failures and thriumphs. But in the situation where i am in now, para nga akong nanalo ng sweepstakes...

At sa klase ring ito, nabansagan akong "MAGGI".... :)

Wednesday (1-4pm) (Advanced Radio Production and Direction)

This is one cool class, i must say. We will be working on PC programs (and expensive gadgets...) to create radio masterpieces...

Thursday (10am-1pm) (Broadcast Media Studies)

The prof is totally liberal, but i expect that we will learn a lot from her. The topics are both interesting and dragging (since this is a pre-thesis proposal class) but i guess, we will be having a nice time too.

Friday (1-4pm) (Radio Speech and Performance)

Do you know the voice behind Globe's "The subscriber cannot be reached...", LRT's announcements, and Philippine Airlines' "Mabuhay, thank you for flying Philippine Airlines..." and a whoel lot more...

Siya kasi ang prof namin sa class na ito e...

Heheheh...

So, ayan. More or less alam niyo na rin ang oras na pwede niyo akong i istalk. Hehe.

candle-lit lunch at the spa

it has been a while since i went to SC to eat lunch with Jil. So, off we go to SC to try what Mashitta has to offer. We stayed for a while, waiting for our orders to arrive when all of a sudden, it went dark. The fan ceased to cool my skin.

Hay, Brownout!

So, out came the candles. Come to think of it; we never had a chance to eat with candles as the only source of light. But, hey, this is not what i have in mind.

Tagaktak pawis galore. And you cannot even fan yourself if you do not want to blow the light source out.

Sabayan pa ng mga manang na daig pa si Dan Brown sa pagdidiscuss ng Da Vinci code diba?

come on!

BUt to make this day ok, kasama ko siya, at masarap ang pagkain.

should have been there...

am here sitting in front of my pc, conferencing with my orgmates via ym regarding sem planning.

should have been there with them in batangas. but what can i do? sometimes, things do not turn out the way we want it to be.

scrappy and scooby

since it was my grandmother's birthday yesterday, she got a present form her sister. a puppy. and since we already have a dog and named him scrappy, we opted to call the pup scooby.

realized that even dogs do have jealousy worn on their sleeves. saw the whole thing through scrappy's reactions. he overcame it in just hours, though.

hehe.

i am my own

when will people learn that i am not just their property! (no offense, di ka kasama dito at iba ang inaalburuto ko, hindi ikaw, ok?)

i am not just a son.
i am more than that.
i play the role of a friend,
a classmate,
a lover,
orgmate,
a leader,
talent,
confidant,
and more.

i cannot be confined by what you just want me to be.
the world owns me too.

sagala galore

sorry

sometimes, i get this feeling that if i fail to be strong, all things will fall apart. that is why i have started to cope up with the defense mechanisms that i have, but seldom use.

but with those mechanisms, i began to hurt people, especially those who love me so dearly. siguro nga, wala na akong ibang alam gawin sa mundo kundi ang manakit e.

and for that i apologize.

sometimes, i end up trying to evade things for me to end up not getting hurt. i try not to give much fuzz about things, but yeah, you are right. i am just saving it at some other time. in the mean time, it is building up slowly.

i did not deliberately ignore your feelings just so to hurt you... i won't do that... pero recently, i am trying not to get hurt myself for me not to fall apart. i am at the verge of falling apart.

the tale of juliet part two

got a message from maam jhet again, the author of the tale of juliet.

i really admire her, for sharing strengths to dreamers and well-wishers to make that dream into a reality.

that is a real winnner- one who succeeds, and wants others to succeed as well.

and with that, i salute you!

visit www.thetaleofjuliet.com and get the guts you need to get that dream!

mothers day

went to the mall with my sister kanina to buy some gifts for my mom and grandmother. papalapit na kasi ang mother's day e.

hay, naku. sometimes my mom, amy grandma and i get involved in a fight or a discussion once in a while, pero di matatawaran ang mga nagawa nila sa akin.

me...

before, i used to like being alone. there are many thoughts that i can entertain. i can actually contemplate on my life.

pero minsan nakakatakot na ngayon. i am getting older. and sometimes, the present, the pst and the future pose questions that can bring the hell out of me when i think about it.

what lies ahead tomorrow? ganito ba talaga pag 21 na? pano na ako, sila, tayo?

the attacks of the gamu gamo

i have never imagined myself being a part of ghost busters for crying out loud.

but today, i have to make this contraption (called a vacuum cleaner) just to eradicate a population of eerie, gross creatures that feef on light...

oo exag na...

gamu gamo. as in everywhere. daig pa nila ang putakti sa pagputakti sa tahanan namin. Kaya naman nag volunteer na akong puksain silang lahat. at dahilo di tumalab ang water at batya, go na ako sa vacuum cleaner option.

what i love about this scene is the fact na dahil marami nang gamu gamo e palapit na ang tag-ulan. pero up to now, no signs of evena bit of raindrop. i swear, ok lang sa akin na mag vacuum ng gamu gamo basta lang umulan...

birthmonth ko na...

welcome to my birthmonth!

in a few days, i will be celebrating my 21st birthday na.

male debut, in other words...

haaay....

what awaits after that borderline?

nakakaexcite na nakakatakot...

ang labor day...

this labor day had me thinking...

after talking to some of my friends who have graduated, and after looking at their friendster posts, and after seeing some of them bumming around town...

hay, naalala ko...

most of my bathcmates have graduated na...

and they plan to take it easy for a while and enjoy the moments after graduation...

samantalang ako...

i have this urgent need to make my own bucks...

be independent...

help my family...

help myself...

haaay...
