inaantok, parang nahihilo
kumikirot pati mata ko.

di ko malaman panu gagawin ang mga bagay
sa mga araw minsa'y lutang mga sinasabi
kaya minsan napapangiwi at napapa-ay.

netong huling linggo, bangag ang sked ko sa ospital. sabagay, sino ba namang nars ang may matinong sked sa ospital? pero minsan,,,.... ok, kadalasan, masakit na sa ulo ang pabago-bagong oras ng pag gising, pagtulog, pagkain, pgligo, pagutot.

24: 10am-6pm
25: 6am-2pm
26: 6 am-2pm
27: 10pm-6am

"A LIE TASTES BETTER THAN REALITY"

Diary Log: Wednesday early morning. 5:45 A.M.

I drove home alone, in the dark and early morning. Everybody was asleep.It was an ordinary work day. or so it was. I just came off from an expensive dinner in a posh hotel. and I was with the man of my fantasies, my dreams. He has cute, crinkled eyes, a strong jaw, smooth big hands. He was tall with big and broad shoulders, great body built as well.

A man in tinsel town every woman would be chasing off all day. Nice looks, with and outstanding personality. And the wit and humor, amazing at his young age. Boyish but naughty just right. yes, sex appeal.

I could still recall the signals he gave. Was it him, or was it me that I misunderstood? It doesn’t matter anymore. His mischievous smile, so mysterious and sexy.

We had a toast of fine wine. I didn’t care much about the food. For he was staring at me all night. Our hands are inches apart laid on the table, and we were facing each other. I was just waiting for him to grab mine.

Then, he rubbed his hands, not on my hands, but traced them on my hair and whispered something.

"follow me.."

I was dazed. I couldn’t say anything. I know it’s not right. The night is still young, very young..but I am not.

My dress, splashed in blooming red color, seems to show the blood rush Iv’e felt at that time.

"where shall we go?" I dared not to ask.

But my footsteps, I found them alongside his. and we walk a half-step quicker. He stared left, right as we were inside the elevator, and the door was shut. Finally.

My heart thumped. Hard. My veins in my neck, theyre abnout to pop. QUick I said to myself. Why do I get these thoughts, I have no idea. But before I answered my own question, he locked his lips with mine. Hard. And long. He grabbed me. I felt my heart pounded so hard it would’ve knocked myself out.

was it the wine?

I didn’t know what happened next. or, maybe, I don’t want to remember…words won’t give justice to what iI’ve felt at that time. So good.

Now it’s almost sunrise. I just got home in time. I’m just inches away from Robert. He’s too drunk to notice. I just hate it whenever he snores and at the same time look at his beer belly…the horror/


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

"PARADISE FULFILLED THE SENSES"

Journal: Wednesday. 10:45 P.M. Hong Kong Flight.

I had an unusual night. This lady was staring at me all throughout the night. Those eyes, so seductive. Tempting galnces. I was really so into her. Those small lips I just wish I could just kiss hard. That would be really heaven, or sweet paradise.

The dinner,was so good. And they had great wine, just the way I like it. But she made the night captivating. At that moment, she was my night. And soon, became my prey. It was a crazy, or maybe wild night.

She just won’t stop, the more it makes me wish it won’t ever end.

Then, she left.

After I woke up, there was a note on the table. it has her number i believe. And the word "thanks". I found no name.

I left the place before noon. All i could remember was I had a good one with somebody in a lovely dress at that hotel.

I left with all my valuables in hand. made it just in time for my flight.

I think I left the note in the hotel room.

Superman Says:"DEFENSE!"

The 23-year-old Howard became the youngest player to win the NBA's defensive player of the year award Tuesday. Howard was only the fifth player to lead the league in blocks and rebounds in the same season, a goal he set in training camp.

Howard averaged 13.8 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game this season, his fifth in the league.

The only other players to be rebounding and blocks champions in the regular season were Bill Walton, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon and Ben Wallace. Blocks were not kept as an official statistic until 1973.

Teen Ricky to NBA

Spanish teenager Ricky Rubio has decided to enter the NBA draft.

The 18-year-old Rubio, who was under contract with Spanish club DKV Joventut through 2011, has been rated as one of the top picks for the June 25 draft.

Rubio, who was a member of Spain's silver medal-winning team at the Beijing Olympics last summer, can still withdraw up to 10 days before the draft at Madison Square Garden.

Rubio believes that the Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Clippers and Washington Wizards appear to be frontrunners.

Rubio has averaged 9.9 points and 5.7 assists this season for Joventut. The 6-foot-2 point guard turns 19 in October, meeting the NBA's minimum age requirement.

IRONICALLY, it was the media who broke the news of the trade to Ginebra coach Jong Uichico last Friday night instead of the other way around.

The press boys told Jong during the post Ginebra-Rain or Shine game interview that Burger King’s Cyrus Baguio and Homer Se had just been acquired by his team, in exchange for future draft rights.

Jong said that was the only time he heard of the good news, although he knew that negotiations for Baguio were initiated as early as last December.

Nung una ko nakita sa previews and movie na to, starring Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston, and a cute Labrador, sabi ko papanuorin ko ito. At una kong nasa isip ay isa itong romantic-comedy.

Di ko inakala na based pala ito sa tunay na buhay ni John Grogan, isang newspaper columnist, na naisa-libro bandang 2005 at naging movie last year.

Di ko rin inakala na ang tawang ineexpect ko ay naging luha.

Oo, luha. Dramedy ito. Hindi ko ikkwento ang buong story dito, dahil maganda itong movie.

Sabi ko nga kay tolski, hindi ito heartwarming, ito ay heartmelting.

I hate to admit but I was teary-eyed in the end.

Ang movie na hango mula sa tunay na buhay, na nagpapakita ng saya, ng hirap, ng sakit, ng hirap, ng pait, ng tamis. Iba't-ibang emosyon at mukha ng buhay ng isang pamilya, talagang makakakita ka ng sarili mo rito sa movie na to.

Ang asong sinabihan na "the world's worst dog" dahil sa kanyang uncontrollable, untrainable na behavior, na talagang tila hindi na talaga siya aso lang sa pagka-pasaway, na sa kabila ng lahat ng ito, andun pa rin ang saya at pagmamahal na mararamdaman mo.

In life, you can always complain and be angry and frustrated most of the time, but in the end, the most cherished things are the seemingly insignificant times you've spent with your loved ones.

^_^

Here's a quote from the movie:

"A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if your rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary? "

Isang araw, nagsumbong sa akin ang girlfriend kong si tolski. Sabi niya, may gunggong na nagmessage sa kanya sa friendster na di niya kilala at ipapabasa niya sa akin ito pag nagkita kami.

So, nacurious naman si ako.

At nung ipinabasa na niya sa akin, imbes na magalit ako nang lubos (medyo lang, plus konting irita), eh natawa na lang ako sa message niya. Eto po ang mensahe niya:


"Hey I saw your profile, you're pretty interesting and pretty cute too. Anyway I want to put some excitement in my life and I wanna try new things, maybe you'd be up for a discreet fling? i come from a good family and a good school, was a model and a ball player and above all I don't kiss and tell.:)As indecent as this sounds, I'm a pretty decent guy in general,I just wanna explore my wild side,live a little. Maybe you could leave your number so we could talk about it cutie:)"


OHA! he will put excitement daw sa buhay ng gf ko. tapos he came from a good family daw! In fernezz! at good school din daw! Meron bang bad school? Was a model daw! Baka di na siya kinuhang model ulet? was daw eh.. Ball player din daw. O diba, ang astig ng mr. pogi natin!

Indecent daw ang tunog, pero decent naman daw siya. HUH?!

AT! He just wanna explore his wild side daw? Aba, eh may pagka animal pala ang hayup eh, aba, game! haha!

So, para kay mr. pogi, ihahanap ko siya ng katapat. ip-plug ko ang malupet niyang pic na medyo na -edit ko kasi model daw siya eh, baka sabihin me copyrights yung pic niya.

itago natin siya sa codename na "Anton de Cups":


Ops, kaya po me takip ang mata, dahil discreet daw po siya.
Babala: wag masyadong kiligin!

iba tong si frat (lover) boy.

astig. maangas. makulit. bully.
may tattoo sa pusod ng pangalan niya. at me tattoo ng TAU sa braso niya.

bakit siya napasok sa psych ward?
uminom ng 30+ na tableta ng pheno barbital.

ano ang pheno barbital?

according sa wiki:
It is the most widely used anticonvulsant worldwide and the oldest still commonly used
Phenobarbital causes a "depression" of the body's systems, mainly the central and peripheral nervous systems; thus, the main characteristic of phenobarbital overdose is a "slowing" of bodily functions, including decreased consciousness (even coma), bradycardia, bradypnea, hypothermia, and hypotension (in massive overdoses). Overdose may also lead to pulmonary edema and acute renal failure as a result of shock.

so in short, deadly talaga. at buti na lang ay naagapan naman siya. astig nga diba?

anu kamo ang dahilan bakit lumaklak siya nga tabletas?

eto, kaya kinamusta ko siya.

reigun: ah ganun ba. may grupo din ba kayo, tulad ng gang?

boy: di po, frat lang.

reigun: ah, ok. anu naman naging dahilan bakit ka andito?

boy: eh kasi po uminom ako ng pheno barbital eh. mga lagpas 30.

reigun: andami naman nun. san ka nakakuha nun?

boy: gamot ng kapatid ko yun eh. ininom ko.

reigun: naku. kawawa naman kapatid mo. anu naman naisip mo bakit mo ginawa yun?

boy: inaway po kasi ako ng gf ko eh.

reigun: ano?! yun lang?! anu nangyari?

boy: uminom po ako eh, inubos ko long neck ng gran matador. inaway niya ako kasi nasira ko cellphone niya. moto razor v3 kasi yun, nasira ko yung flip lcd. ayun, sinusuntok niya ako.

reigun: frat boy ka, pero nasuntoksuntok ka niya?

boy: eh mahal ko po eh. under ako dun. siraulo yun eh

reigun: ah ganun ba. tingin mo, sapat nang dahilan yun para gawin mo yun?

boy: eh kasi nagselos din ako. kasi uminum din siya, eh niyaya niya uminom barkada kong lalake, sila lang. pero pinsan ko naman yun. kaya nagalit ako.

reigun: naku, mahirap ka pala magalit, magselos at malasing ng sabay-sabay, iniinom mo gamot ng kapatid mo.

boy: onga po eh, di na po mauulit yun. pero hindi yun yung unang beses.

reigun: ano? me mas nauna pa? pano nangyari naman nung una?

boy: nung una po, na coma ako for 3 days. eh dahil din sa gf ko eh. nag away kami. kala ko kasi ka text niya yung kaibigan ko. pero hindi pala

reigun: naku, anu ba yan, puro maling hinala ka eh. anung ginawa mo nung nagalit ka?

boy: uminom din po ako mag-isa, wala kasi mayaya eh. tapos, uminom ako ng 50+ pheno barbital.

reigun: naku, buti naging ok ka pa after mo ma-coma. wag mo na ulitin yun.

boy: onga po eh. yung gf ko po kasi eh

reigun: alam mo, wag mo sisihin gf mo, ikaw ang may gusto niyan. dapat mo kausapin gf mo pag me tanong ka. tapos,wag mo idaan sa inom yung galit mo, kasi di mo makontrol sarili mo eh. baka pag inulit mo pa yang mga ginawa mo, di ka na swertehin niyan, magastos pati maospital.

boy: onga po eh. di bale, mas magiging ok na ko. mahal ko kasi girlfriend ko eh, jackpot ako dun.

reigun: o siya, mabuti. ipatago mo na yung mga gamot ng kapatid mo. baka ubusin mo na naman.

===================================

o diba, asteg ang frat (lover) boy natin. deboto ng nasareno, may tattoo, may gf, pero under, manginginom, at suicidal na seloso.

lessons:
wag uminom ng mag-isa.
wag inumin ang di mo gamot.
magmahal ng sakto lang, wag sobra.
wag magselos basta-basta.
wag manira ng selpon ng iba.

Reactions: 
Sana may "who wants to be a millionaire?" ulit!

Ang binatang Indian na si Jamal na lumaki sa hirap sa siyudad ng Mumbai (or Bombay?), ay napasali sa isang game show na "Who wants to be a millionaire?" . Ang lalakeng walang natapos sa pagaaral, nagtatrabahong katulong sa isang call center, at lumaki sa mahirap na sitwasyon ay isang tanong na lang mula sa jackpot.

Papaano niya nagagawang makasagot ng tama?
a.) Genius siya.
b.) Nandaya siya.
c.) Nakatsamba lang.
d.) Magaling gumamit ng lifeline.


Astig na movie!

Anlupet ng cinematography pati neto. Well, kung sa awards rin lang, eh the academy got it right this time. Kung may award na best cast, slumdog pa rin. Revelation ang mga batang Indian dito. Halos documentary ang epekto ng pelikulang na direk ni Danny Boyle. Bukod pa sa plot na poor-kid-gets-rich-fast, ito ay nakasentro sa isang pambihirang love story.

Maganda ang mga elemento ng iba-tibang paksa tulad ng poverty, corruption, greed, crime at iba pang mga relevant na mga paksa na pang-social at moral ang aspeto.

Hindi nalalayo ang setting ng India sa ibang parte ng Pilipinas. Sa kabila ng maraming naghihirap na mga tao, andun pa rin ang krimen at korupsyon na hindi mawawala. Pero sa kabila ng lahat ng mga paghihirap, andun pa rin ang pag-asa para sa pagginhawa sa buhay, at syempre,ang pag-abot sa ultimate happiness ng isang tao.

Parang mga pinoy lang na tumataya sa lotto!?

Mahusay na feel-good movie. If you think Oscar-winning films are boring at tipong pang intellectual at lalangawin lamang, well, think again.

This movie delivered superbly.

Fyi, the theme song titled "jai ho" roughly means "may there be victory". or something like it. Very well describes the movies theme.

as for everyone, JAI HO!

growing up with music

0 rants/raves (aka comments)
Reactions: 
I simply love music.

And for those people who don't enjoy music? I think they're living a boring life, aren't they? XD

Before, at an early age, I started listening with rock music alone, such as alternative, heavy metal, glam, electronica, reggae, etc. , probably due to my older brothers' influences: I get to hear whatever they wanted to listen to.
And then I've learned to embrace and widen my musical perspective as I began to explore and enjoy other types of music such as Pop, Hip-hop, Rhythm and Blues, Jazz, Bossa, etc.
People might assume that if you have no single musical influence, you are the type that just goes with the current trend. And if you have just a typical music preference, you are too shallow, or too chicken to admit that you do enjoy other types of music too.
I'd rather be a person who loves music. Period.

As I grow older, I believe that as we mature, it also means that we have a wider perspective of outlook in life. And yes, it can also be reflected in one's preferences, such as music. And with that, I would like to have a bit of a tour to the not so distant past.

So, before the dawn of the iPod, the mp3, the bluetootth sharing, donwloads, cd burns, way back in the mid-90's, I lived and experienced music through cassette tapes! (either my brothers', or mine through my measly savings)

Here are some of my early foreign influences, (started around when i was more or else 8 years old):


Guns N' Roses
Obviously, my older brother bought this. (He purchased both Part I and Part II. Though not as good as the first one, I personally believe they were one of the last glam/classic 90's rock band, with the musical style, typical guitar riffs, long hair, the high-pitched vocals (though it later on evolved as "emo", i think. haha) Axl Rose and Slash were my early "ideas" for icons of rock. Thank God I needn't all the hair to be a rock fan.



Queen
Another "Bro's pamana" to me. Official Rock & Roll Hall Of Famers. This band is good. Or, gooder than most? XD This Brit group gave the world "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Another One Bites The Dust", "Under Pressure", and of course, the championship song, "We Are The Champions."
If only Freddie Mercury is still alive, and to rephrase a cliche, rocking.






Metallica
My first purchased cassette tape. The Lords of Metal Rock. Metallica surely defined what rock is about: fast, loud, angry, angst-filled, yet tender with melody. This quartet of James Hetfield (vocals, guitar); Kirk Hammett (guitar); Jason Newsted (bass); Lars Ulrich (drums) continues to reinvent the rock scene. And to prove that, they played alongside a full symphony orchestra! This album is a continuation of the earlier album, "Load", for the production time was so fruitful, they had to come up with another album. This album has "the Memory Remains", and "Fuel", which was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.




Prodigy
One of my favorite albums of all time. Fat of the Land was nominated for a 1998 Grammy for Best Rock Album. Who hasn't heard of a prodigy track? Their music is a favorite in some major action films in Hollywood. And it can't be helped. With their sick beats and impressive sounds, I can say Prodigy's musicality was at least 10 years advanced in terms of their genre and uniqueness. This is Hip-hop+electronica+rock all rolled into one. "Diesel Power" and "Smack my Bitch Up" are some of the album cuts.Purchased after starving myself to save up money way back in elementary.


Oasis
The ex-next Beatles? That's a debate. But nonetheless, Oasis have proven themselves that they can be Kings of Rock. No matter how dysfunctional the Gallagher brothers are, they seem to made great music despite being known as big air-heads. Anyway, back to their music, "All around the world" is one of the better-known songs in this album.
Liam is a good vocalist for a band that seems to live more on the rumor sheets more than rocking music. But still, one of the best Brit rock groups ever.

i was a drug pusher for 5 minutes

3 rants/raves (aka comments)
Reactions: 
isn't it quite annoying sometimes when you're quite busy at something, then your mobile phone rings unexpectedly? and when you try to take a second off from your whatever, you see an unregistered number, so you either choose to answer a.s.a.p. for it may be an emergency, or just cancel it and try to get back to it later to give it some time.

and since i was currently on hospital duty at that time, feeding an elderly sick patient, i just cancelled it. my phone didn't ring again, so i guess it wasn't an emergency call.

and when i was on break, i tried to contact the mysterious caller thru SMS.

i started with the classic:

reigun: hus ds?

*and lo and behold, another f*n wannabe textmate

da who:qoh c rosemarie u b'

*great, another texter that loves to say "koH", "qoH". whats with the H?!and the "u b"? what?!

so instead of ignoring, i chose to be good and bad. good because i will reply to her, and bad because it is...


reigun: adik ka ba? gusto ko kc adik e

*see, now that is bad!

da who: bkt ano b nym?

*actually, iom not sure on "nym". is it "name"? i dont care.

reigun: nagbbenta aq ng epektus. bka 3p m

*now, im a drug pusher. will i get caught? will i sell?

da who:sory hnd qoh pnangarap yn

*nice. it turned out, she's a good kid after all!
and the pusher striked agai
n..

reigun:bka me kilala ka. puro to. swabe. discountd na pg student. 'e' meron dn. try m.

*uh-oh, he's really bad!

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

what happened after? the good texter vanished and never replied again!!!

the pusher wins!!!

that's one nasty way of getting rid of your mysterious f*n wannabe textmates!

NBA: Who's the MVP?

3 rants/raves (aka comments)
Reactions: 
The NBA regular season is almost over. Teams are still jockeyeing for position. But the question aside from who'll be Champs this year is, who's the MVP? 3 names have come up with most NBA fans. LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, And Dwyane Wade. Some might even include Chris Paul and Dwight Howard, but they're not close to the top 3 players in the NBA today. Let's take a look.

The Flash


Nice suit Mr. Wade. The Flash boasts some great numbers, and impressed everyone despite of a sub-par playoff team roster, he managed to push his team to #4 in the East with a decent 42-38 record.
His numbers are quite good too:
PPG 29.9

RPG 5.00

APG 7.5



The Black Mamba


KB24, arguably the best player of his generation, both offensive and defensive, he's really an assassin. They lead the West, and is currently chasing Cleveland for the top record with 63-17. He's known for clutch plays. And he's also known not to be a winner minus Shaq. He was last year's MVP, can he be MVp times 2? He's proven himself individually already. And the question for most people is, will he be a champ minus Shaq?
Stats:
PPG 27.1

RPG 5.30

APG 4.9


The King




Some call it hype, some call it freak of nature, and fans call him "King". Not bad if you boast team records in a single season, despite the injuries of his teammates, they were somehow consistent to become the top East team, and maybe in the whole league at record of 65-15. It ain't Boston, it ain't Dwight's Magic, but James' Cavs is the Beast in the East.
Stats:
PPG 28.3
RPG 7.60
APG 7.3


Personally, if you are the MVP, you must be at least in the top 4 teams in the NBA. Because being an MVP is about winning games, not just being a monster on stats.
So that drops The Flash out of the race. Still, an impressive season for the Heat.

Now, being an MVP means that aside from being the team leader, you can also make your teammates better.

That's a toss-up between James and Bryant.

Both teams have a great lineup. But on paper, The Lakers team is better over-all. Kobe has Pau, Bynum and Odom at his side. And a very effective and experienced bench.
Though LeBron has Mo and Z, their bench can't quite size up with the Laker team.

Now, if you're an MVP, you can step it up any time when there is a distress call.

For Kobe, the team was hit hardest when Bynum was injured. They still won games, and still became consistent. And now he's back, they're scarier.

For James, they have an array of injuries this season. From Big Ben, Z, Andy, Delonte, and others, they missed significant number of games in total. This made the defense concentrate more on James for the lack of options, but the team still had the best home record this season.

Now, add it all up, plus the fact that Kobe has won it already last year, I'm sorry Kobe fans, but I think, and probably, LeBron will go with the MVP trophy.

NEXT: Playoff matchups and scenario.

wanna be a rockstar?

Reactions: 
I personally love both music and gaming.

So whenever I come across games such as Guitar Hero or even the Rock Legends application in Facebook, I really enjoy them and take advantage of whenever I can to pretend that I'm like a real rockstar! hehe.

And then through an online buddy, I discovered this new and cool game online: Jam Legend!

So for those who have experienced playing Guitar Hero, it's pretty much like it, only it is played online wherein you just have to register with an email add, and the music selections are mostly independent artists, which is a plus for me.

Jam Legend is still in beta mode, and they vowed to increase their playlist so players can play almost every song possible, cool!

For those who aren't familiar with Guitar Hero, remember the old game "Dance Dance Revolution"? It's almost the same in concept.

You push the key that lines up with each note when the note reaches the bottom of the screen. What are the buttons? For newbies, it's the number keys 1,2, 3. For advanced users, more keys will be added.




You can choose just plain tapping the number keys, or "Strumming", where you tap the numbers, plus hitting the enter key, much like a guitar.

Do I still sound gibberish and confusing? Don't fret, there is an easy tutorial there. ;)

You can invite your friends, as you earn more points for each invite, or you can duke it out with other players,

The songs on the playlist are mostly independently produced, and if you crave for new songs, then the fun and experience will be doubled!

This site also is a good platform for independent artists for more exposure and spread their music to the world.

Now, don't just stare there, and get started. Yes, NOW!

reigun: (amused) grabe ka pala pag nagalit ano? pero, aware ka nung mga sandaling yon?

sss: opo, alam ko po yung mga ginagawa ko. pero gusto kong pigilan, pero di ko magawa, nawalan na talaga ako ng kontrol.

reigun: sa tingin mo ba, yun ang naging dahilan bakit ka nadala dito?

sss: opo. naibaling ko yung galit ko sa family ko. sobrang nagsorry talaga ako. ngayon ok na ako, yung ex ko, di ko na babalikan talaga, walang kwenta talaga siya. (bitter?! LOL)

reigun: good. at least lesson learned yan. at aware ka sa mga nangyari, na hopefully di mo na ulitin.

sss: onga po eh. mag concentrate muna ako sa studies ko.

reigun: good. matanong ko lang, is he your 1st boyfriend? para kasing grabe talaga yung pain na nagresult sayo ng ganto eh...

sss: ay marami na po akong naging boyfriend, di po siya yung una.

reigun: ah. pwede ba malaman kung pangilan mo na siyang naging boyfriend?

sss: di ko na po mabilang eh!(laughs!)]

reigun: (jawdrop!) ano?! tingin mo, tantya mo lang?

sss: hmmm..siguro mga 40 na.

reigun: (whaaat?!napaka saya mong bata ka!) ...40?! puro lahat yun, MU lang o kayo talaga?

sss: di po kasama MU dun, kami po talaga yun.

reigun:(OMG) kelan ka nagstart mag boyfriend?!

sss: siguro po mga 12 pa lang ako nun.

reigun:(aba, early bloomer, taray!) 12? wow. grabe ambata mo nagstart. at mukhang msyado atang marami na yun in 4 years ah.

sss: oo nga po eh. malapit po talaga ako sa mga lalake. mas kasundo ko sila, kasi mga babae maaarte alam ko po yun kasi may pagkaganun din po talaga ako minsan. kaya barkada ko mga guys talaga.

reigun: i see, naiintindihan ko yung preferred friends mo. pero sana, wag naman tipong 40 boyfriends in 4 years. bata ka pa. you can be friends with them siguro muna diba.

sss: opo. gusto ko kasi pag tayo, tayo na. pag ayaw, ayaw na. di ako clingy. di ako attached masyado.

reigun: so, bakit ganun ka dito sa recent guy mo?siguro siya na yung katapat mo nO?

sss:opo, parang siya nga talaga katapat ko sobra. sobrang magkasundo kami. ugali namin, parehong pareho. kung anu pagkasalbahe nya, kalokohan, ganun din ako. parang soulamte ko talaga yung dating eh. kulang na lang kasal.

reigun:in 1 month, narealize mo lahat yun?

sss: opo! kahit na masyadong parang nakakatawa, pero ganun po talaga. niyaya na nga akong magtanan nun eh, umayaw lang ako!

reigun: naku, buti di ka pumayag, hindi maganda yun.

sss: oo nga po eh. naisip ko family ko.

reigun: good. so ngayon ba, naaalala mo lahat since 1st day mo dito?nung nakatali ka pa, nagwawala, minumura mo kami, galit ka samin, tawag mo sa min bakla...

Happy Easter!

Happy easter guys!

It's a great sunday for me, a day after a family celebration, started the day with a blessed mass, then relaxing and enjoying the day in front of my computer, with music, videos, and waltzing the hours away with interesting people whom i hardly know in plurk. ;)




then, there's this one topic that is identical with what's on my mind lately.

" that a bunny has nothing to do with Jesus."

Of course, that is non-debatable. Who would ever think that bunnies are directly linked to Jesus? I mean, definitely He'll be a great pet lover, but it doesn't seem right to associate bunnies to Easter in the first place. I'm not an avid Bible reader, but I guess they're not mentioned there.

And don't forget the eggs.

Well, eggs can be associated with life, birth, such as the Easter idea that Jesus had been reborn, the start of His life after death.

And I remember reading somewhere before that it originally came from a pagan group, adapted by the Christians in order to have them converted into Christianity, which was ages ago.

But then, I want to know more, so I switched to my *geek-mode* face, (which is a rarity for me), I did a mini-research on the origins of Easter celebration.

Where else? Wikipedia!

Here, take a look at the excerpts:

"The ancient Saxons celebrated the return of spring with an uproarious festival commemorating their goddess of offspring and of springtime, Eostre. When the second-century Christian issionaries encountered the tribes of the north with their pagan celebrations, they attempted to convert them to Christianity.
It would have been suicide for the very early Christian converts to celebrate their holy days with observances that did not coincide with celebrations that already existed.

To save lives, the missionaries cleverly decided to spread their religious message slowly throughout the populations by allowing them to continue to celebrate pagan feasts, but to do so in a Christian manner.

As it happened, the pagan festival of Eostre occurred at the same time of year as the Christian observance of the Resurrection of Christ. It made sense, therefore, to alter the festival itself, to make it a Christian celebration as converts were slowly won over.

The early name, Eastre, was eventually changed to its modern spelling, Easter."

"Eggs, like rabbits and hares, are fertility symbols of extreme antiquity. Since birds lay eggs and rabbits and hares give birth to large litters in the early spring, these became symbols of the rising fertility of the earth at the Vernal Equinox."

So there,it became crystal clear.
Eggs and bunnies have nothing to with Jesus directly. =)

Another useful trivia for moi.


What's more important is not the tradition, but the purpose of the celebration, its true essence and meaning.

And understanding it more will make us better persons living a full life.

whether in geek-mode or not. ;p
merry easter!

It's bad enough that Telecom/xtra can fail in their service to us full stop, and it's even worse if that failure is not reflected in a reduced phone bill, but what's really infuriating is not being able to understand the person on the other end of the line who is supposed to be helping.


Filipinos learn American English and their accents are diabolically hard to understand. They are so heavy!


When I have to call them for help I am always stressed out (because my job is communication and I can't afford to be offline and incommunicado - that would mean blank pages in About Town!) so getting someone with a voice that a) is almost unintelligible and b) grates, really fires me up. It shouldn't I know. But it does. Their voices are not just impossible to understand, they are really annoying as well.

You know how some accents can be totally charming? Well, these are anything but!

They must be the least attractive accents in the world!


And because these people are as close as we get to the actual corporation I allow myself to fully vent my anger...


E.g. after getting someone to repeat something 6 times I will yell in frustration.


I am better with Indian call centres since I saw Slumdog Millionaire, and I can cope with Cairo, but Manila? I lose it!


Wouldn't it be nice if Kiwis could do these jobs instead of adding to the unemployment.


It's mental. It doesn't make sense and it makes me really really mad!!!!


=========================================

so, i guess she was really really mad? don't look now bridget. or i guess you knew what's coming for you now huh.

hello jakarta: my brother's POV

2 rants/raves (aka comments)
Reactions: 
(my older brother J is in jakarta, indonesia for at least 2 months now. He is not exactly an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) there, but like an expat, wherein the company he works for, a manning agency, *somehow forcefully* sends him over there to supervise their company branch in jakarta. and this is one of his detailed memoirs in jakarta regarding work, lifestyle, people, food, etc. )
