The SWEET Life!

Foods are so good they shape you round!

{ Been there. Done that. }

When you strive, you'll find yourself surpassing even your own expectations. It's a guarantee. But don't forget to pray. It works hand-in-hand.

No Choice.

Sabagay, 'yung internet nga dito sa office eh inconsistent.
ang traffic lumalala;
ang ice cream natutunaw.
ang tubig nagiging yelo.
ang mata kukurap kahit pigilin mo.
ang building kahit bakal pa naigigba.
ang dagat may high-tide at low-tide.
ang ilog tumataas.
pati kuryente.
ang panahon nagbbago.
ang timpla ng ulam umaalat;
tumatabang din.
untimo ozone layer lumalaki. di mapigilan.
bawal na ang plastic.

Isa pa to eh..LSS!

Yung mga kantang may kurot sa damdamin. Ganon ata talaga pag yung nagsulat o yung kumanta eh may pinagdadaanan. Anyway, congratulations kasi hindi man pareho ang ating pinagdadaanan eh nakakaapekto kayo.haha!

"When I Was Your Man"

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh…
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man

Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know

I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man

no one wants this.

Alam mo yung pakiramdam na kahit anong daldal mo, may oras n parang nauubusan ka ng sasabihin; marahil hindi mo alam kung saan ka magsisimula o dahil nag-uumapaw ang damdamin mo sa mga salitang naguunahan lumabas kaya't para kang nabubulunan. 

Nung bata ako, pag hindi ako bati ng mga kalaro ko, nagkakasya ako na igugol buong summer vacation ko sa loob ng bahay at sa garahe namin. May mga kalaro ka kasing makaksalamuha n teritorrial, sila ung parang laging maaagawan ng kalaro kahit wala ka namang ginagawa kaya ako, iwa gulo, umuuwi nlng ako at hinahagilap ko na lang ang barbie dolls ko pag nasa kwarto lang ako, o di kaya ay kukunin ko ung bucket ko n puno ng art materials tulad ng paint brushes, watercolors, iba-ibang size ng bond paper, lapis, pambura, paint tray, at krayola, tpos lalabas ako sa garahe o dun lang ako sa sala namin at magpapaka-michaelangelo ako. Masaya nako nun. Wala kasi sa bokabularyo ko ang ipilit ang sarili ko o iyakan ang mga kalaro ko kasi ayaw nila akong isali. Hindi ko nga maalala kung nangyari b sa akin yun kahit minsan eh; umuwing luhaan at nagsusumbong. Naalala ko pa minsan na tinago ung tsinelas ko habang nakikipaglaro ako ng pinggan-pingganan (mga laruan ko pa gamit) tapos paglabas ko ng bahay may nagsabi sakin na yung tsinelas ko daw nilgay duuun sa kisame ng kapit-bahay namin. Dali-dali akong pumunta at buti na lang may grill ung bintana  nung kapitbahay namin, edi inakyat ko, walang keme-keme, hindi din naman ako nagalit. Eto pa isa, minsan naglalaro kami mamaya dahil kinampihan ko ung isang kalaro namin eh kinalmot ako sa likod. Huli kong naaalala eh hindi ako umuwi agad. Andun lang ako sa may garahe sa tapat ng bahay nila hawak ko ung bike ko tapos pinapakiramdaman ko lang ung likod ko ung may pantal ba, sugat o kung ano man. Hindi din ako umiyak.

Malikot kasi ako nun eh. umabot pa na nahulog ako sa service namin habang patigil ito para ibaba yung isa naming kasama. Pero sa totoo lang, may dahilan naman bat ako nahulog, hindi lang dahil malikot ako. Eh gawain ko kasi kumain/ubusin ung baon ko sa loob ng service nung naghumps, nahulog ung kuchara ko sa likod ng upuan. So sabi nung ka-service ko tumayo daw ako kukunin nya, tayo naman ako. sakto patigil n ung service kc may bababa, habang nakatayo ako bnuksan ko pinto (yabang ko pa one hand lang kapit ko nugn nagbubukas nun!) di pa pala tuluyang nakakhinto. Pag-preno eh shoot! Hulog ako sa kalsada. Laking pasalamat ko na lang at di ako gumulong! Natatandaan ko na lamang ay may pulang kotse kaming kasunod at buti ay may humps pang dadaanan bago ako masagasaan. whew! Sa sobrang kaba, ung service driver namin, nag-panic. Lagot daw sya kay lolo ko pag nalaman yun. hahahaha! Dun ako umiyak, sa bonggang pagpapanic ni Manong Jun, at hindi sa pagkalaglag ko.

Namana ko ang kadaldalan ko sa mga magulang ko. Nakakapagtaka pa ba yon? Kaya nga pag pinapagalitan nila ako tapos tatanungin ako san ko ba namana ang ganito at ganyan, sarap sabihin na "hindi kaya sa inyo?" hahahah pero seryoso, may mga ganung pagkakataon na hindi naman ako galit pero sasagi lang talaga ung pamimilosopo sa isip mo, tapos dudugtungan pa yon ng kapatid ko, "..alangang sa kapitbahay?" Oha. tandem eh mga batang pilosopo, mana sa magulang.LOLZ

Hindi naman talaga ako iyakin eh. Kaso pag yung pakiramdam mo na hindi mo mailabas ung nasa isip mo, o hindi mo man lang maipagtanggol yung sarili mo sa mga umaaway sayo, un yung nakakaiyak. Yung wala kang magawa. Siguro nga may nagawa kang di maganda kaya ka inaaway. Pero kung handa kang wasakin ang lahat, cge wu-morld war ka, pero kung hindi, mag-isip isip ka bago ka magsalita. Sabi nga nila, 

"Don't make decisions when you're angry, and don't make promises when you're happy."

Black & Blue

      Nagta-trabaho ako sa mga oras na ito pero heto na naman ako't sumisingit ng pag-bblog ng wala sa oras. Oo wala sa oras kahit pwede dahil may kailangan akong isumiteng trabaho bago mag-uwian; pero ganito talaga ang life kanya-kanyang diskarte. Gusto ko ma-pressure eh. Joke lang! Sa totoo lang, mas nagiging produktibo ako pag under pressure. Weird alam ko; gaya na lamang nitong kumikinang na kuwago kong sing-sing sa kaliwa kong daliri na nakatitig sa akin wari ba'y sinasabing "Hoy magtrabaho ka muna!". Cge na nga..itututloy ko ito maya-maya lang..BRB!......................

It's Friday I'm in Love!

Masarap ang buhay nagta-trabaho; pag kumikita ka na ng sarili mong pera,

pag nabibili mo na ang mga bagay at napupuntahan ang lahat ng lugar na gusto mo.

'yung pakiramdam na ikaw na ang boss ng sarili mong buhay. 

Kayod-kayod at petiks-petiks din. O kay sarap hintayin ang akinse at katapusan 

para mapasakamay ang inaasam na kayamanan. Sadyang parang kay bilis ng

paglipas ng mga araw.

Isang araw sa kalagitnaan, simula, o sa pagtatagal mo sa trabaho, malamang

sa hindi ay mapapansin mo na isa ka na sa mga madalas magbanggit ng isa sa

mga katagang sikat sa mga taong nagta-trabaho. Mapa-opisina man yan, ospital

factory, eskwelahan, gym, bar, agency, gobyerno, etc.

"Thank God it's Friday!" o "TGIF!"

Paggising mo isang maulan na umaga, bigla mo na lang masasabi na "Sana

walang pasok.". Panandalian mong maaalala na hindi ka na estudyante at

panandaliang ikalulungkot ito. Masama maghangad ng ikakasama ng iba 

pero aminin mo na minsan ay napapahiling ka na lang na sana ay tuloy-

tuloy ang ulan. Sa isang nakaka-aliw na hinagap, habang ika'y tumatanda,

ay mas nagiging waterproof ka; Parang kang 3-ply tissue na mas matibay

pag nabasa. Kaya't walang signal ng bagyo ang makapag-papahinto ng

inyong trabaho, kahit pa naglalanguyan na ang mga daga sa labas ng

bahay nyo. 

Dadaigin pa ng pagtitipid mo sa pagliban and pagtitipid mo sa pera. Sa isang 

indibidwal gaya ko, bilang na lamang ang mga araw na walang pasok. Maliban 

sa 15 araw na Vacation at 15 araw na Sick leave na ipagkakaloob sa iyo sa 

trabaho, ang ilan pang pagkakataon ay ang mga official holidays gaya ng Araw

ng Kagitingan, Pasko, Bagong Taon, Undas, Araw ni Rizal, Bonifacio Day, Ramadan,

Eidr Ftr (ewan ko kung tama spelling nyan), kamatayan ni Ninoy, Independence 

Day, Labor Day, ang seasonal na EDSA I, at ilan pa. Tiyak kong makakabisado

mo din ang mga ito sa takdang panahon!

Kung mamalasin atpumatak ang mga ito ng Sabado o Linggo, depende na lamang

sa Presidente, kung kagaya ni GMA, na madalas ay inuurong ang pagka-wala ng

pasok sa pinaka-malapit na biyernes o lunes ay laging may long weekend.

Pero dahil si Noynoy na, at ayaw nya ng mga patakaran ni GMA, di uso ang

urong-urong.

Maya-maya lang, sa kakahintay mo ng mga bakasyon at sweldo, magugulat ka

na lamang at nakalipas na ang kalahati ng taon. -Ber months na ulit gaya ngayon.

Mamaya fiesta na samin. Halloween na. Pasko na at kinalaunan ay Bagong Taon

na. Magsisimula ka na ulit sa pagtatala ng kalendaryo ng mga araw na walang pasok

at pag-aabang ng sahod.

Annoyingly happy! :)

          "You cannot reserve a parking by just standing!". Words uttered by a woman seated on the passenger seat of an SUV at a parking in Eastwood City. These words put together already introduced me the kind of push-me-to-my-limit-attitude that woman has. "Try Me!" was the first thought that came to my mind. I have this not-so-famous-talent to get to know a person by the way they talk, act, and through their eyes. Weird indeed, but I can manage. This is not a judgmental gut-feel, but a talent which helps me get along with the people around me.

          Even before you say out loud that you don't like me, I already know. Because I really need not to hear it out loud because your aura and body already shouted it so. How I do that is something I know not of. It just came to like "Ooh ice cream!". But hey! It's not something bad. For a ratio of 1:10 people that dislike me vs. the people that do like me wasn't so depressing. I understand that there really are people made to annoy you, and also believe in it's vice-versa.

            I wouldn't be surprised if there are times I become 'maldita', it's really not my attitude, but having to get along with assortment of attitudes taught me to stand-up and fight for what is right. It's not something bad after all. Tolerating people doesn't teach them anything; sometimes you have to be the median of a person's realization and change.

            I stood at a parking space vacated by a family vehicle so that my tito's car can transfer parking since there were no vacancy on that area earlier, and that the place we first parked stinks because it stood near the garbage dumping area. Dady (my Tito) was getting the car when this suv watched me standing on the vacant slot while they slowed driving infront of me. I didn't mind since they already saw me standing and looking afar on dady. Moments later when I realized that their car's already moving backward towards me. I was like "WTH?! Are these guys BLIND??" and so they slowly continued moving backwards and I on the otherhand moved a little on the side because they didn't even beeped at me.

         They've parked the car. Hooraay for them! Boo at me! Dady already has our car infront of theirs. What kind of people, or should I say, CREATURES would do that? Seriously. It pissed me off. But I didn't hit their car "habang inaatrasan lang naman nila ako" as if I wasn't there. They even have this MAYO CLINIC sticker at the rear window of their car. Bad reputation for a person working for that company. But I wasn't surprised after what had happened to a person named Robert Carabuena who was a professional but acted like KING KONG bred HULK.

          A professional job and a degree you hold still don't determine your personality. Maybe it gives you credibility, but integrity? Lemme think of it. They say what you reap is what you sow, and what they got from me is the karma they are looking for. A straight line on a silver blackboard. *wink* I'm not even bothered at all. That's how karma punches you in the face. And btw, we transfered to SM Megamall after buying our favorite Happy Lemon drink since the movie we're after at Eastwood did not fit our time. We easily got our parking there despite the "1 available" slot posted. That's what we got from being dismayed by unearthly creatures. Reward!

Toodles!

RH Bill : A quick note from an unorthodox

          Moreover of the goodness that the RH bill wants to impose, I still see little things that needs criticism. I was just moved by a blog that I've read earlier this morning that criticized some points of Bishop Socrates Villegas during the Anti-RH Bill Rally so here you have it ladies and gentlemen.

SEC. 12. Integration of Responsible Parenthood and Family Planning Component in Anti-Poverty Programs

A multi-dimensional approach shall be adopted in the implementation of policies and programs to fight poverty. Towards this end, the DOH shall endeavor to integrate a responsible parenthood and family planning component into all antipoverty and other sustainable human development programs of government, with corresponding fund support. The DOH shall provide such programs technical support, including capacity-building and monitoring.

          Rapid growth of the population certainly leads to many things and one of which is poverty as how this section of the bill stated. I define poverty as lack of resources vs. the heads that equally needed it; be it food, clothing, shelter, etc. It is an effect of a cause and you cannot directly say that the blowing number of people that are born in this world, specifically on our country, became the cause of poverty. Politicians, to mention the senators and the congressmen are provided with their yearly fair budget allocation which is famously know as PORK BARREL. 

          Many people that are living today did not have the opportunity to study whether in private or public which is a major pre-requisite of employment. Very few of the indigenous communities that dominated the highlands received such education they also needed to be equipped. Some who finished 2-year courses or even graduated with a degree sometimes find it hard to get employed. These "SOME" people altogether creates a huge percentage of unemployment which causes them to experience poverty. Just in my opinion, why do we have to create another bill that would require another financial appropriation, if just in this field of employment, the government (this is the only appropriate term I can use since they're also with it) cannot provide MORE WORK for the under-educated/un-educated/unemployed? We often see local government projects such as new fly-overs, new street lighting, renovation of city halls, street painting, new basketball courts, new etc.etc.. These are not essential, though it beautifies. But who needs beauty when the people starve? It's like a gorgeous woman who spent hundreds and thousands just to look that way but left not a penny to spend on her meals. Beauty fades - in a woman's perspective. In time it will grow old, so why invest on something that doesn't last?

          I overheard some relatives talking about how much was spent on the renovation of our new town's city hall. Having it done makes it look like a hotel inside. There's nothing wrong with it but I have to note here that this isn't the first time it was renovated. Ever since I can recall, it's the 3rd or 4th time it was done, and the budget used was adorably huge. But I passed on our city since our city's residents receives ample supplies they need. Services such as dental, health, and educational are never forgotten despite the always-present corruption happening beneath it all. Now look at those places such as Mindanao. Each city/town in Mindanao has their own gov't representative, but looking at the people through GMA news documentary that I've watched featuring pork barrels, schools especially those turned down by the rebels never get to be renovated. Students forbear thumb-long pencils and just a pad of now-so-new paper rolled and kept on their hand-me-down uniform pockets so on and so forth. It was never a picture of a progressive place. You might have watched the president's SONA yearly. I must say there wasn't a poor-looking congressman that enters the hall; All are wheeled with luxurious car upon their arrival but their looks never, even once, represented how their place was. They don't look like they represent such places where they belong. How can they choke on their deeds? I just wonder....

         Going back to the poverty issue. My point is just that, in our place I must say, even without the RH Bill, our city government provides lectures to mother's regarding family planning and safety education. Laws are implemented for the people to follow. Most people do not follow the law. So now, what's the use?

SEC. 16. Mandatory Age-Appropriate Reproductive Health and Sexuality Education
Age-appropriate Reproductive Health and Sexuality Education shall be taught by adequately trained teachers in formal and non-formal educational system starting from Grade Five up to Fourth Year High School using life skills and other approaches. The Reproductive Health and Sexuality Education shall commence at the start of the school year immediately following one (1) year from the effectivity of this Act to allow the training of concerned teachers. The Department of Education (DepEd), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), the DSWD, and the DOH shall formulate the Reproductive Health and Sexuality Education curriculum. Such curriculum shall be common to both public and private schools, out of school youth, and enrollees in the Alternative Learning System (ALS) based on, but not limited to, the psychosocial and the physical wellbeing, the demography and reproductive health, and the legal aspects of reproductive health.
Age-appropriate Reproductive Health and Sexuality Education shall be integrated in all relevant subjects and shall include, but not limited to, the following topics:

• (a) Values formation;

• (b) Knowledge and skills in self protection against discrimination, sexual violence and abuse, and teen pregnancy;

• (c) Physical, social and emotional changes in adolescents;

• (d) Children’s and women’s rights;

• (e) Fertility awareness;

• (f) STI, HIV and AIDS;

• (g) Population and development;

• (h) Responsible relationship;

• (i) Family planning methods;

• (j) Proscription and hazards of abortion;

• (k) Gender and development; and

• (l) Responsible parenthood.

The DepEd, CHED, DSWD, TESDA and DOH shall provide concerned parents with adequate and relevant scientific materials on the age-appropriate topics and manner of teaching Reproductive Health and Sexuality Education to their children.

     What good does it bring in educating the innocent minds? What good does it cause to liberated youths abroad? The bill or the schools wouldn't teach liberation, but where would it lead? It will open young minds. (Hello, grade 5? Srsly? Nung grade 5 ako wala pa akong muwang sa mundo, even the word BOYRFRIEND is an alien word to me; I would want the same for my future kids!!! Ayoko nung uuwi ang anak ko na parang si baby James and would throw me questions like "Mom, what is HIV again?") It's either they stay away from it, or stick to the idea. There would be lesser rate of early pregnancy, but a higher rate of those who might engage on pre-marital sex. Yes, maybe too early to tell. But what's the main purpose of this bill again, prevention is better than cure.

Isipin mo na lang, kotse yan!

      Nakakatuwang makapag-salysay ng mga bagay-bagay na nakikita at nangyayari sa pang araw-araw nating pamumuhay. Madaming nakaktuwa, nakakalungkot, nakakagulat, at kung anu-ano pa. Tulad na lamng ng hindi mayaman ang Pilipinas hanggang ngayon kung ikukumpara sa sinasabing naghihirap na ang Amerika. May naalis sa 7 wonders of the world na pambato natin, ngunit may pumalit. Ang mga mayayaman ay mayayaman padin; Ang mga tamad ay mahirap pa din. O diba, "The irony of life" ika nga ang peg nung huling pangungusap. Hindi naman ako propesyonal na manunulat. Wala akong nasalihang kahit anong kompetisyon o kung ano man na kaugnay nito. Pero paano ko nga ba mailalarawan talaga ang buhay? Ganito na lang...

MANUAL.

      Sanay ka naman siguro sumakay ng MRT, taxi, bus, jeep, tricycle, o pedicab? Kung nasubukan mo na lahat yan eh iisipin kong alam mo na ang pakiram dam ng masikip, mahirap hamabol, punuan, at mabagal. Masarap ba? Hindi. Sino ba namang gusto masikipan, makipag-unahan, at humabol sa oras. Ako nasubukan ko lahat yan. Hindi pa lang eh sumabit sa jeep. Pero maraming beses ko ng nasubukan tumayo sa bus ng 2 oras mula Legarda hanggang Robinson's Galleria. Oha! Oo, maipagmamalaki kong nagawa ko yan. Kaya naman ang simpleng makaupo ako matapos ang hinaba ng pagtayo ay ipinagpapasalamat ko sa Dyos. 

      Bata pa lang ako ay marunong na akong maghugas ng mga plato, tumawid sa kalye, maglaba, magluto ng pancit canton, pati magprito ng binating itlog. Pero ayoko talaga magluto ng sunny-side-up kasi matilamsik ang mantika, kaya nung nasubukan ko, para akong nakikipag-espadahan sa kawali. May shield pa, yung takip ng kaldero. bwahahahahaha!! Hindi naman matatawag na child labor o abuse ang mga pinaggagawa kong iyon, maging kawang gawa ko man o utos ng magulang ko. Ang tamang tawag dun ay pagmumulat habang maaga pa. Ang bait kong anak ano? Napaka-understanding ko.haha! Masaya naman ako na maaga akong natuto ng gawaing bahay. Hindi naman akong ginawang alila sa bahay namin. Sadyang gusto lang nila ako matuto. Kasi may katulong kami nun eh. Sabi nga nung pari sa isang misa sa SM Megamall; 

"Mga magulang, hindi masama na ibigay nyo lahat sa mga anak nyo, at ayaw nyo silang makaranas ng hirap; Pero paminsan-minsan, paghugasin nyo man lang ng mga pinggan  o paglabahin, para matuto sila, at hindi para pahirapan ang buhay nila. Kasi, mas mahirap na lumaki sila, magka-pamilya, na ang alam lang ay umorder sa Jollibee." 

AUTOMATIC.    

      Madaming mayayaman ang nanggaling din sa hirap. Nakaka-mangha ang mga taong nagsikap upang marating kung ano sila ngayon. Yun ang yapak na nais kong sundan at yun din ang gusto kong maipasa sa mga makakabasa nito at sa aking magiging mga anak. Madami sa panahon ngayon ang mga batang "spoiled" kung tawagin. Bigay lahat ng luho, kailangan man o hindi, basta ginusto ay bigay. 

      May kilala akong lalaking sanay mag-drive. Kahit anong sasakyan ipamaneho mo ay ayos lang. Hindi sya marunong mag-commute pwera sa taxi. Para sa babaeng tulad ko na malaman yun ay medyo nakaka-turnoff. Hindi ko na ilalathala ang dahilan ko at pakiramdam ko naman ay alam nyo na kung bakit.

      Masarap matulog sa malambot na kutson. Pero dadating ang araw na baka kakailanganin mong mahiga sa matigas at malamig na sahig. Papaano na lamang kung hindi ka sanay? Matatapos na lamang ba ang gabi na ikaw ay nakatayo o umaangal? Simple lang naman ang gusto kong sabihin. Ang buhay ay parang pag-aaral magmaneho. Sabi nila, mas maganda kung magsimula ka sa manual. Pag natutunan mo, ay sisiw na ang automatic. Nasa manual kasi ang mahirap na proseso. Komplikado, detalyado, at sadyang hindi madali sa umpisa; pero kung makasanayan mo ay pwede ka na maging karerista. Ang buhay automatic ay madali. Maaari namang dun ka magsimula ngunit mas maganda kung mararanasan mo parin humawak ng manual.  Mas mahirap para sakin kung ang buhay ko ay naging pabaligtad.

Kung ikaw ang tatanungin, saan mo ngayon gusto mag-umpisa? Sa manual o matic? 

Tama o Mali

Masama pero sinusubukan. Bawal pero ginagawa. Mali pero binabalewala.

Nag-aabang ako ng jeep sa dulo ng mala-sawang haba ng pila sa terminal. De Castro, Rosario, Jenny's, Floodway, Lifehomes; Mga byahe 'yan ng jeep na dumadaan sa terminal kaya't ganun na lamang kahaba ang pila tuwing uuwi ako sa gabi. (Oo, gabi na ako umuuwi dahil tanghali na ako pumapasok.) Ako ay pagod at alam kong sa mga nakapila ay mas marami pang pagod sa akin base sa alam kong trinabaho ko sa maghapon. Petiks pa nga ako madalas, pero sadyang mahirap pumila dun. Nakakainip, mainit, at kung mamalasin pa'y siksikan sa dami ng pasaherong sabik nang makauwi. May ibang pikit na sa pila kaya't nasisingitan. Tsk. Tsk.

Hingang malalim nang ako'y makarating sa huling linya ng pagsubok. Ilan na lamang at ako'y makaka-abot na sa aking inaasam-asam kanina sa dulo ng pila, ang makasakay!

Barker: "De Castro, Lifehomes lang."
Ale: "Manong Rosario?"
Barker: "De Castro, Lifehomes lang ho sabi ng driver. Wala tayong magagawa. O, De Castro..ooo!"

Hindi nagkakamali ang ale na tanungin kung dadaan ba ang jeep sa Rosario sapagkat De castro ang pinakadulo sa mga byahe. Nagpantig ang aking tainga sa hindi ko malamang dahilan. Wari'y may napakinig akong hindi magandang salita, o baka dahil ako'y pagod lamang? Tinanong ko ulit ang kasa-kasama ng driver kung pu-pwede ang Rosario sumakay. Deadma and aking nakuha. Bumalik ako sa aking kinatatayuan at sinambit na "Bawal mamili ng pasehero a? Irereklamo ko to!" sa tonong walang emosyon ngunit malakas upang kanilang marinig. Nagtanong akong muli at tumango ang driver. Kami'y nakasakay ngunit sa kasamaang-palad, ang ibang paroon din ang tungo ay hindi na nakasakay dahil nalampasan na ng jeep.

Madami pa akong hindi magagandang karansan sa aking byahe pauwi. Nakakalungkot lamang at hindi pa man din ako nalalayo ay ilang storya na ang aking naipon. Ilan lang yan sa sakit ng ilang Pilipinong aking madalas makasalamuha sa araw-araw. Hindi lahat ng tao ay pare-pareho. May ilan din namang mabubuti, maparaan, masunurin, at may pakialam.

Pagbaba ko ng jeep, sa aking pagalalakad ay may nakita akong bata na nangunguha ng mga lata. Isinilid nya ang lata sa harap ng gulong ng jeep na nakatigil at nag-aabang ng pasahero. Nung una'y ako'y nagtaka at tumigil. Umandar ang jeep. Nalubak ng kaunti. Yupi na ang lata. "Ahh.."

I was blogging. I am blogging. I will be blogging.

Currently, I'm managing 5 active blogs; I have six originally.
I wasn't updating one of my wordpress blog since I just put it up when I stopped using tumblr for a while. I'm back on Tumblr so I kind of shortlisted my blogs and now have a final count of 5 (how less could that be, eh?). To enumerate, here are my blogs:

1. Beyond Infinity (Tumblr) - this is my/our love blog. I'm most active here. Here's where I write our love story and the stuffs we do when we're apart. :">
2. Eye Candy (Wordpress) - my official photography blog. I've been posting here my fave shots from anywhere. The rest goes to my Flickr account.
3. Ima ♥ Diary (Tumblr) - I figured-out I need some organization of my thoughts and really have to sort it out. I created this blog to post the stuffs that I like, I do, I make, and want. This is more of a happy blog. =)
4. Bubble Thoughts (Blogger) - This account was my first and foremost love blog turned into a thought-blog inspired by my favorite Filipino author Bob Ong. I have many realizations in life which I needed to put into actions. This blog is one.
5. All The Small Things (Tumblr) - This is clearly a "reblog" blog. It was a personal blog originally, and after I've created the blogs above, and after the World War III (rofl) I made it my weheartit version of tumblr. :)

So there you have it! You might wanna take a look at each. (^~,

Foodtography 001 :: cupcake frosting

It was late at night when I decided to play around the kitchen for some frosting experiment. Limited with the supplies I have, I was still able to make the frosting that I want! :D (I haven't practiced decorating yet, so please bear with it.haha!)
