Ham, Cheese, Relief Goods, and pre-Christmas happenings

 I was actually planning to buy ham and cheese for Christmas, since I wont be spending it at Lipa. But, lo and behold, the three trillion asseted Citibank decide to pour some blessings on its lowly peons.

Purefoods Ham and Queso de Bola.

But what there's more! Even though Citibank lost 12 billion in asset due to subprime mortgage loans (which is a usual bank thing in the US), the have added some more in the goodie bag!

A can of sausage, a can of corned beef, and two other cans which I still havent tried to look at.

All Hail Citibank! Let's get it done (and over with...)

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

I tried to apply for a five day vacation leave. But our shift master begged that I moved it to January due to lack of personnels. Damn. I said, just for the sake of yuletide season, give me one day off. And well, one day it is. Dec. 22. Oh well. At least, I could still panic buy.

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

Tomorrow would PHL07's Christmas party. Oh yeah! I'm excited to see them again.

Cadiz patis pa rin!

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

Dec 22.

The VL that was given to me was a blessing in disguise. My Ragnarok buddies plans to have our guild Christmas party on this day. The original plan was to go to Star City so we could bring the younger members with us. But from what I was told today, we might go to San Pedro Laguna for an overnight there. Basag na naman ako nito!

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

And to y'all out there,

MERRY CHRISTMAS :)

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

1. If you are choking on an ice cube, simply pour a cup of boiling water
down your throat. Presto!  The blockage will instantly remove itself.



2. Avoid cutting yourself slicing vegetables by getting someone else to
hold while you chop.



3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by using the
sink.



4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a
few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a
timer.



5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.



6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will
be afraid to cough.



7. You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't
move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct
tape.



8. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them



9. All hemorrhages stop by themselves.. .eventually.



Daily Thought: SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING
BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

OK I"M HAVING ONE OF THOSE DAYS> this helped. Hope it makes you grin too :)

Paminsan minsan lang. :)

Little Miss Sunshine.

Pagkatapos ko lumangoy kanina at maligo, nakita ko ang VCD(!!!) ng Little Miss Sunshine sa may tabi ng PC. Di ko dapat talaga panonoorin pero para naman may silbe ang PC para sa akin bukod sa paglalaro ng DOTA, hala sige, panoorin ko na rin.

----

Ok naman yung movie. Yung feeling ko after ng manood ay same feeling after ko mabasa yung libro ni Mark Haddon na may schizo na kid na nakitang namatay yung aso. (nakalimutan ko ang title) Yung feeling na "gago pala itong mga characters na ito." Naiinis ka sa kanila kasi kupal talaga sila habang pinapanood mo pero sa huli, "amf. ok pala naman sila."

----

Ito isa sa magandang quote mula sa movie:

Dwayne: You know what? Fuck beauty contests. Life is one fucking beauty contest after another. School, then college, then work... Fuck that. And fuck the Air Force Academy. If I want to fly, I'll find a way to fly. You do what you love, and fuck the rest.

Inday: Iron Chef

Meal Request

Isang araw ay tinanong ni Inday kung ano ang gustong hapunan nila sir.

Inday: Junior, what do you want for dinner?

Junior: Worms!!! (excited na pagkasabi)

Inday: Ok, how about you madam?

Ma’am: Elephant!! (Hehehe)

Inday: Very well, and you sir?

Sir: Fish lang… na may spiders and worms. (ngumingisi pa)

Inday: Alright!

Pumunta na sa kusina si Inday para ihanda ang kanilang hapunan.

Makalipas ang isang oras, nasa hapagkainan na ang pagkain nila.

Inday: Ok Junior, here’s your meal! Asparagus with Worm Tarragon Vinaigrette.

Hindi makapaniwala si Junior sa kanyang nakita at kakainin.

Inday: And for you madam, here’s your Elephant soup with mirepoix served with Italian bread.

Di maipinta ang mukha ni misis habang tinutusok tusok nya ng tinidor ang elephant meat.

Inday: Lastly, for you sir, I prepared this Soba risotto with Fugu or what is commonly known as pufferfish. (muntik ng malunok ng amo nya ang kanyang dila) Don’t worry sir, I am licensed to prepare that delicacy. Also enjoy this deep fried spider legs with lime yoghurt dip and sauteed mopani worms.

Sir: Ahh… wala ba tayong corned beef na lang?

Inday: Nonsense! Seldom in your life can you eat such exotic dishes so simply enjoy this experience. Bon Apetit!

Inday na naman! :)

Sa isang mall sa Makati…

TV Patrol Reporter: Sa nalalapit na election, maraming pangalan ang naglalabasan bilang standard bearer ng iba’t ibang partido. Nandyan si Mar Roxas, Manny Villar, Ping Lacson, at Loren Legarda. Minabuti ng inyong lingcod na magikot-ikot at magtanong sa taong-bayan kung sino ba and karapat-dapat na maging susunod na pangulo ng Pilipinas?

Dadaan ang mga amo ni Inday. Di kalayuan papalapit si Junior at si Inday na nakaunipormeng pangkatulong.

TV Patrol Reporter: Sir, Mam. Pwede po ba naming kayong mainterview?

Mga Amo ni Inday: Please spare us. Yung katulong na lang naming ang interbyuhin mo. Hindi ka mapapahiya dyan.

Titingnan ng mabilis mulo ulo hanggang paa si Inday na tila nagaalangan pero nasabi sa sarili ‘ Sige na nga!.’

TV Patrol Reporter: Miss, pwede ka ba naming mainterview?

Inday: Sure, why not!

TV Patrol Reporter: Aba, Inglesera ang loka! Miss, heto ang tanong ko. Sa iyong opinion, sino ang karapat-dapat na maging presidente ng Pilipinas sa 2010, si Mar Roxas, Loren Legarda, Manny Villar o Ping Lacson?

Inday: I think it is too early to tell who will be the next leader of this corrupt-ridden nation. The names you just mentioned sound exciting but for now, I couldn’t tell you yet who deserves my vote. BUT …I do have parameters in choosing my next president which I would like to share to everyone watching your news show.

Inday: I believe that the next leader of our country must possess the following characteristics: he/she must have the leadership qualities and popularity of President Ramon Magsaysay, he/she must have the intelligence of President Ferdinand Marcos, he/she must have the charisma of President Corazon Aquino, he/she must have the diligence of President Fidel Ramos and President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, and the most important characteristic the next president must posses is he/she must have the integrity and patriotism of Jose Rizal and Jovito Salonga.

Napatingin si reporter sa mga amo ni Inday

Mga Amo ni Inday: O, ano? Nawindang ka no?

On Relativism and Disagreement

Narinig ni Ederlyn na nagtatawanan si Inday at Dodong habang kinakain nila ang nilutong Paella ni Inday kaya dumaan sya sa harap ng dalawa at nagparinig…

Ederlyn: Hoi Dodong! Ambabaw mo talaga. Nabola ka naman nyang si Inday eh ang korni korni naman nya. At bakit kinakain mo yan? Dog food ba yan?

Haharapin ni Inday si Ederlyn ng nakapameywang…

Inday: It has often been proposed that claims about what is funny, delicious, or likely are “subjective,” in the sense that their truth depends not only on how things are with the objects they explicitly concern, but on how things are with some subject not explicitly mentioned. This thought is supported by the striking degree to which we differ in our judgments about these matters.

Inday: If there are wholly objective properties of funniness, deliciousness, or likelihood, then most of us must be defective in our capacity to detect them. We are humor-blind, or taste-blind, or likelihood-blind, in much the same way that some of us are color-blind. But this diagnosis clashes with the way we think and talk about these domains. In our judgments about what is delicious, we lack the humility color-blind people show in their judgments about what is red or green. We do not seem to regard the fact that many others disagree with us as grounds for caution in calling foods delicious. We readily judge things to be funny in light of our own senses of humor, even though when challenged we can offer no grounds for thinking our senses of humor are the “right” ones. We readily judge things to be likely in light of what we know, even while acknowledging that our knowledge is only partial, and that others may know more than we do.

Ederlyn: Syet… talo na naman ako.

Dodong or Ethan

Isang araw, nag-aabang si Inday sa kalye ng taxi para pumunta ng gym. Napuna sya ni Ethan, ang tricycle driver, na nakatambay sa kanto habang kumakain ng bananacue.

Ethan: Hi Miss Beautiful! San ka punta?

Inday: Hey Ethan! Gold’s Gym and no, I don’t want you to take me there on that shabby pedicab of yours.

Narinig sila ni Dodong na nagdidilig ng mga halaman at dali daliang iniwan ito para lumapit sa kanila.

Dodong: Inday, sino sya? Ano sya sa buhay mo?

Inday: Relax Dodong, he’s just a friend I met the other day. Ethan, this is Dodong. Dodong, this is Ethan.

Ethan: Pre! Bananacue? (inalok ang kinakaing bananacue)

Dodong: Not so nice to meet you.

Dodong: Inday, ang totoo hanggang ngayon ay umaasa parin ako na sabihin mo sa akin na ako parin. Ako nalang. Ako nalang ulit.

Inday: Dodong, oh please stop being so melodramatic. You’re making a scene and it’s getting embarrassing.

Ethan: O nga pre ano ba problema mo?

Dodong: (lumingon kay Ethan) Malaki lang ang katawan mo pero di mo ako kayang patumbahin!

Inday: Ay ambot!

Nag-walkout si Inday papalayo sa kanilang dalawa at sumakay na rin ng taxi.

Ethan: (sabi kay Dodong) Pre, medyo kahawig mo si John Lloyd pag lumalaki butas ng ilong mo.

Uuuy… mukhang may magkikiss and make up mamaya…

TOP TEN BS.

TOP TEN REASONS WHY TRILLIANES AND COMPANY PACKED UP  

1) Not even his mother joined them 

2) Oakwood had a better lobby 

3) CNN was not there to cover it 

4) The hotel had run out of ice cubes 

5) The APC's were parked in the lobby and not the parking lot

6) Trillianes realized being teargassed was not part of his mandate as senator. 

7) Guingona thought it was an anti-erap, or pro-erap pardon rally, whatever... 

8) Surrender was better than the company of Father Robert Reyes.

9) Trillianes noticed people were crying not because of the tear gas but because of him 

10) Even GMA was beginning to look better the longer they stayed  

TOP TEN REASONS WHY THEY SHOULD HAVE GONE TO VICTORIA COURT INSTEAD  

1) They were only gonna stay for a 'short time' anyway 

2) Bishop Labayen and Fr. Robert Reyes could have heard confessions 

3) They could have wet the towels in the jacuzzi to combat tear gas 

4) There are no wedding receptions in Victoria Court. Only honeymoons.

5) It always has more people than Manila Pen 

6) The APC won't know which garage to park in 

7) The ceiling mirrors would have thrown off the raiding party. 

8) ABS-CBN could have done an episode of XXX and The Buzz while covering the coup 

9) 'What happens in Victoria Court stays in Victoria court' 

10) It's a good place to get screwed

SENATOR ANTONIO TRILLANES, BRIG. GEN. DANILO LIM, MAGDALO SOLDIERS, THEIR GUARDS AND THE PEOPLE ARE NOW IN MANILA PENINSULA.

 

Bishops Tobias and Labayen, former Vice President Teofisto Guingona, former PNP Chief General Ramon Montano, former UP President and Laban ng Masa Leader Prof Francisco Nemenzo are now with the patriotic soldiers in Makati

 

 

            Today, we address all and decent Filipinos, to announce that NOW is the time to end the sufferings and miseries inflicted upon us by the illegitimate Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo Government and start a new life and a new Philippines.

 

            The die is cast.

 

            Pursuant to our constitutional mandate as “protector of the people and the State,” and by this act, the patriotic officers and men of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police, supported by the masses of our people and the various political forces, give substance to the constitutional provision which says, “The Philippines is a democratic and republican state.  Sovereignty resides in the people, and all government authority emanates from them.”  Thus, we take the fateful step of removing Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo from the Presidency and undertake the formation of a new government.

 

            Mrs Arroyo had occupied the Presidency under a questionable mandate, publicly disputed by the vast majority of Filipinos.  She stole the Presidency from President Joseph Ejercito Estrada through unconstitutional and deceitful means, and later, manipulated the results of the 2004 elections to perpetuate herself in power.

 

            We have individually and collectively tried all means to resolve this legitimacy issue through the normal electoral, judicial and congressional processes.  But Mrs Arroyo used naked power through the issuance of EO 464 and other executive proclamations, and the sheer weight of numbers to paralyze the impeachment process—procured at the people’s great expense – to frustrate us at every turn.

 

            After all these had failed, our people tried to air their grievances in peaceful street assemblies.  They thought they were exercising a combination of constitutional rights, which no official or agency of government may legally abridge.  But they were stopped and dispersed violently with water cannons from firemen and truncheons from the police.

 

            The abuses of her government continue.  The deliberate refusal or failure of the dubious leaders to investigate and prosecute the people responsible for the scandalous “Hello Garci” electoral cheating, the Jocjoc Bolante multi million peso fertilizer scam, the IMPSA bribery scandal, the “Jose Pidal” and the jueteng scandals involving billions of public funds, the Northrail Project scandal, the Venable contract scandal, the NBN scandal, wholesale bribery of congressmen and governors in Malacanang, as well as the unabated and resolved extrajudicial killings of citizens, particularly journalists and members of the judiciary, and the use of military and police officers for some unlawful missions, among others, are clear proof her failure of good and decent governance.  There are numerous illegal and immoral activities and transactions conducted by this government with impunity that betray the citizens and the State of their pristine right to exist as a people with decency, dignity and integrity.

 

            With all the avenues closed by the use of naked force, no other means remain but for the officers and men of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police to exercise their constitutional mandate take the side of the sovereign Filipino people against the illegitimate ‘president’.

 

            We beg your indulgence and apologize for any temporary disruptions attendant to fighting this righteous cause.  We are confident that the will of the sovereign people will prevail.  The end of the corrupt and vicious government and its bogus leaders is long overdue.

 

            We support the political and economic reforms that will be initiated by the new government, regardless of the personal cost it  may impose upon each one of us.

 

            We, therefore, call on all our people and all the governments around the world to give the constitutional rescue initiated by our patriotic brothers in the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police a chance to work.

 

            To the task of organizing a new government, and pursuing a program of total and no-nonsense reform we commit our full support.

 

            We shall do whatever we can do to prevent any backsliding to the corruption and abuse of power of the immediate past, and advance the cause of truth, freedom, justice, peace and progress for all Filipinos.

 

            God bless the Filipino people, Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

Si Inday.

True Story of Inday

STORY :
Dahil sa tindi ng kahirapan sa probinsya, namasukan si Inday bilang
katulong sa Maynila. Habang ini-interview ng amo?

Amo: Kelangan namin ng katulong para mag ayos ng bahay, magluto, maglaba,
magplantsa, mamalengke, at magbantay ng mga bata. Kaya mo ba ang lahat ng
ito?

Inday: I believe that my trained skills and expertise in management with
the use of standard tools, and my discipline and experience will contribute
significantly to the value of the work that you want. My creativity,
productivity and work-efficiency and the high quality of outcomes I can
offer will boost the work progress.

Amo: [nosebleed]


Nakaraan ang dalawang araw, umuwi ang amo, nakitang me bukol si junior.


Amo: Bakit me bukol si junior?

Inday: Compromising safety with useless aesthetics, the not-so-well
engineered architectural design of our kitchen lavatory affected the boy's
cranium with a slight boil at the left temple near the auditory organ.

Amo: [nosebleed ulit]


Kinagabihan, habang naghahapunan.

Amo: Bakit maalat ang ulam?

Inday: The consistency was fine. But you see, it seems that the increased
amount of sodium chloride (NaCl) affected the taste drastically and those
actions are irreversible. I do apologize.

Amo: [nosebleed na naman]

Donya: Bakit tuwing paguwi ko, nadadatnan kitang nanunuod ng tv?!

Inday: Because I don't want you to see me doing absolutely nothing.

Donya: [hinimatay]


Kinabukasan, sinamahan ni Inday si junior sa principal's office dahil di
makapunta ang amo at donya.

Principal: Sinuntok ni junior ang kanyang kaklase.

Inday: It's absurd! It was never a fact that he will inflict a fight. I can
only imagine how you handle schizophrenic kids on this educational
institution. Revise your policies because they suck!

Principal: [nag resign]


Pag dating sa bahay, nandun na ang amo, galit na galit.

Amo: Inday, bakit nagkalat ang basura sa likod ng bahay?!

Inday: A change in the weather patterns might have occurred wrecking havoc
to the surroundings. The way the debris are scattered indicates that the
gust of wind was going northeast causing damage to the path it was heading
for.

Amo: [nosebleed ulit]


Habang nagluluto si Inday ng hapunan, malikot si junior.

Inday: Stop your raucous behavior. It is bound to result in property
damages and if that happens there will be corresponding punishment to be
inflicted upon you!

Junior: [takbo sa CR, punasan ang nagdudugong ilong]


Pagkatapos magluto, nanood na ng TV si Inday. Nabalitaan nya umalis si
Angel Locsin sa GMA 7.

Junior: Bakit kaya sya umalis?

Inday: Sometimes, people choose to leave not because of selfish reasons but
because they just know that things will get worse if they'll stay. Leaving
can be a tough act, and it's harder when people can't understand you for
doing so.

Junior: [tuloy ang pagdugo ng ilong]


Nung gabing yon, me nag text ke Inday. Si Dodong, ang driver ng
kapitbahay, gusto maki pag text-mate.

Inday: To forestall further hopes of acquaintance, my unfathomable
statement to the denial of your request - Petition denied.


Di nagla-on, dahil sa tyaga ni Dodong, nagging syota nya rin si Inday.
Pero di tumagal ang kanilang relasyon, at nakipag-break si Inday ke Dodong.


Inday: The statute restricts me to love you but you have the provocations.
The way you smile is the proximate cause why I love you. We have some rules
to think of. We have no vested rights to love each other because the upper
household dismissed my petition!"

Dodong: Perhaps you are mistaken, what you seem to contrive as any
affections for you are somewhat half-hearted. I was merely attempting to
expand my network of interests by involving you in my daily recreation.
Heretofor, you can expect an end to any verbal articulation from myself"


Me dumaan na mamang basurero, at narinig ang usapan ni Inday at Dodong.

Basurero (sabi ke Inday): Be careful in letting go of the things you
thought are just nothing because maybe someday you'll realize that the one
you gave away is the very thing you've been wishing for to stay.

Narinig ang lahat ng eto ng amo ni inday.

Amo: [nagpakamatay]

Post No Credit

December 4 2007.

Regular na ako sa work. Well, that's what my supervisor told me. I'm not THAT excited pero somehow it's a landmark in my life na *shit* totoong may trabaho na ako.

The day na sinabi sa akin ito, saktong nabasa ko sa horroscope sa PDI... "Today is a great day to think of your future. What will you be 5 years from now?"

5 years from now? Sana nagtuturo na ako sa isang unibersidad. O baka nagtratrabaho na sa isang financial corporation sa lupa ni Uncle Sam. Pero ang maisisigurado ko, di ako tatagal ng ganung panahon sa trabaho ko ngaun.

Btw, cant wait for my first credit card. At least may inaabangan ako kahit papaano.

----

Nung isang araw ay muntik ko na batuwin ang TV. Kasi sobrang kagaguhan na ang nangyayari sa bansa. Nagkakalokohan na lang ang mga Pinoy. Suhol dito, bomba dun, nakaw dito, patawad dun. Tangina. Eto naman si Juan bobo. Walang kibo. Pinapabayaan na lang ang mga nangyayari, basta may nakakain siya pansamantala. Short sighted a-holes.

Ngayon isang kahig, isang tuka - wala kang pakialam. Saka ka lang ba gagalaw kung wala ka nang makain at wala nang mapigang pag asa sa bansa?

Gising na. Nagsasawa na ako. Ang pag asa ko ay tila nababawasan sa bawat lubog ng araw.

---

Kung may kinaiinisan ako ngaun bukod sa mga bobong tumatawag sa bangko, eto ay yung hindi ako nakapag enroll ng MA.Tangina. PEro wala akong magagawa. Ganyan talaga ang buhay, di lahat ng gusto mo mangyayari. Kailangan mag move one, may next sem pa naman.

Ordination nga pala ng classmate ko nung high school. Nov. 26 2007 sa Carmel Church sa Lipa. Primus Inter Pares. First among equals - ang motto ng class namin noon. Pero sabi nga namin ni Tawgs, sa class namin ay si Rev. Ericson ang "first among equals". Di namin inaasahan na ganito kabilis ang panahon.

Dati mga gusgusing bata pa kami, tapos ngayon, eto gusgusin pa din. hahaha.

Signs.

They are all around you. They might come in the form of words, pictures, gestures, or events. Their meanings are derived from different interpretations, either dictated by society, experience, or set by a personal condition.

Take for example " > ".

Society tells us that this means greater than. Others may say that it a sign for right. Music enthusiasts would tell us that it is sign for decrescendo. Or I, on my own interpretation, could tell that it means that something is coming to an end, or maybe it is a sign to move forward. A single sign, but with numeruos meanings.

What am i getting at?

Actually nothing at all, um, sort of.

Man's purpose, in my opinion, is not about satisfying one's physical hunger nor preparing for the afterlife. It's not about hitting the most beautiful women, or winning the best awards, or being on top, or actually making something beneficial to mankind.

Man's purpose is the giving meaning to the signs around him. It is not only about interpreting sings, but sharing these interpretations with other people and making them understand the meaning that you've placed on a sign.

While on the way back home (after finding Eco's latest novel), I was thinking of what where the basic signs that we, as humans, should ought to give meaning first.

I thought of a few signs:

• Name
• on having a body
• on the Self, as an being

The list seems short, I guess I have to think a lot more, but it would do for now.

NAME. Name is a tag given to an existing entity (does being an entity presuppose existence? i seriously don't know.). It could be a common name like "rock", "air", "body", and "man". Or it could be a name that points to a definite entity like, "Ayers Rock", "Eiffel Tower", "UST", or "Raymond Salazar Olgado." It would be easy to explain what the common name "rock" is, like so for non rational beings like "Eiffel Tower" or even "Barney The Purple Dinosaur" (na miss na kita sa thesis ;P). But a name given to a rational being would take a long time to interpret, and shared with others. For example, the name "Raymond" means a wise protector. If I were a security guard and the bank that I am guarding hasn't been held up during my watch, I can say that I am indeed "Raymond." But what if I was called, for example, "Tol" which for the sake of argument, means "Tarantado, Olol, 'Langhiya" and I was the most courteous man on earth, then I wouldn't be living up to my name. I would then be a "living contradiction".

(i would like to add more insights here, but i guess, i have to organize my thoughts better)

Feel free to comment. This is a work in progress. :)

Coming Back to the Ring

I don't know why we are here,
But I'm pretty sure that it is not
In order to enjoy ourselves

A philosopher who is not taking part in discussions
Is like a boxer who never goes into the ring

Philosophers are often like little children
Who first scribble some marks
On a piece of paper at random
And now ask the grown-up "What's that?"

There is no greater distress to be felt
Than that of one human being.
For if someone feels himself lost,
That is the ultimate distress

My live consists in my being content
To accept many things

The real question of life after death isn't whether or not it exists,
But even if it does, what problems this really solves

If people never did silly things
Nothing intelligent would ever get done

If a lion could talk, we would not understand him

I am sitting with a philosopher in the garden;
He says again and again "I know that that's a tree",
Pointing to a tree that is near us.
Someone else arrives and hears this,
And I tell them: "This fellow isn't insane.
We are only doing philosophy."

Madrama

TANGINA.

 

Masaya akong umuwi dahil:

[1] Mababa ang AHT ko ngaun.

[2] Off ko bukas

[3] Uuwi ako Lipa.

 

Sabi ko pa naman sa sarili ko, "olrayt! Mamaya na ako mag blog, panoorin ko muna UAAP!" Sobrang ganado pa naman ako. Tapos pag bukas ko ng TV eksakto sa fade ni Kirk Long.

 

BOOM.

 

Nawala lahat ng tuwa sa loob ko. Naanod ng pagkainis at pagkagalit ang mga ideya ko para sa blog ko. Totoo talaga. Bawat laro, personal. Bawat talo, dinadamdam.

New Schedule

Anak ng...

 

Akala ko dati maganda yung schedule ng team ko, kasi nga naman 7am-4pm with Fridays and Saturdays off. So may oras pa para maka tambay tapos yung gimik days ay libre ako.

 

Tapos next week, bago na sked namin! Okay na sana yung 6am-3pm eh. Ang masama ay yung off ko ay Wednesday at Friday! Malas naman. Paano pag Final 4 na! Paano ako makakapanood?! amf.

Di nyo ako kilala.

Civility has its boundaries. Personal spaces set up to place some kind of respect between oneself and another person. But distances are shortened, gaps slowly closed as time goes on, once you get to know the person more you transcend civility and well, nurture friendship.

But then again, you tend to keep civility to some people. Though you've "known" them for quite a long time. Reserve some of your personal space 'coz one way or another they might be the snakes that bite you at the end.

You don't know me. And I'll make sure I keep it that way.

Wag kayong magkakamali sa harap ko. Ako na naman babanat sa inyo.

The Wizard called Og

I am on the verge of quitting. Jumping out of the caravan and finding my way out of this corporate jungle. I was contemplating this on my way to work. I was waaay stressed out than before because of this shit called work, rich people who are idots, and pressure of doing something worthwhile in my life. I wanted to walk away from this reality and jump into my own yellow brick road of happiness towards the Emerald City.

But then he came again. As I was on the edge of shouting out of frustration, I saw his wisdom again, written on a post-it on a work station.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough. (Og Mandino)

 

He came at an exact time, as always. This time to give me a mind to think and a heart to will myself to succeed. He gave me hope.

 

Like the wizard that he is, he magically brought me back to my feet.

 

Yet, in the back of my mind I knew, that damn bastard tricked me again. He is, after all, The World's Greatest Salesman.

I've only read a book of his, and memorized a poem of his way back in high school. But somehow, once in a blue moon, in every moment I needed help, I come stumbling into his quotations.

UST d. DLSU [2/2]

If there was such a thing as a comeback, or a miracle, this would be one of the best basketball example! (prolly next to Miller's showtime in MSG!)

Sarap.

Masarap maghintay sa wala.

Masarap mangarap ng nakatulala.

Masarap umasang dadatin ka.

Pero yun nga pala, di ka pinayagan.

Sayang naman ang edad mo.

Sayang naman karapatan mong bumoto.

Sabagay, nagkusa ka na ba?

Sabagay, di naman kita pinipilit.

Pagasa. Simulan na.

After looking for this article for two days, I finally found it.

RP Basketball's 2016 Olympic Dream. With personal comments on red.

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

THE GAME OF MY LIFE

By BILL VELASCO

Given the new proposal of PBA commissioner Noli Eala to form two pools for international competition, we can start projecting who will be on the pool for the succeeding Olympic quests. Assuming, of course, that most of the current crop of Team Pilipinas players will still own slots in the next Olympic bid (assuming the PBA will still bear the responsibility of forming the team), we can perhaps imagine the possible lineup for 2016.

Drafting for size and shooting (and projecting for a little additional growth), we could very well have a very tall, very athletic team of players roughly 30 years old and below by the time 2016 rolls around.

Gabe Norwood, 6’5”, guard. The senior statesman of the team by then. In nine years’ time, these 15 players will have probably had years of international exposure and/or toughening up in the PBA. And if some of them aren’t on your scouting reports, they will be very soon.

Gian Chiu, 7’0”, center. Currently a 6’10” incoming freshman for Oberlin College in Ohio, Chiu, a former Ateneo Blue Eaglet, is a coach’s dream. Though he will be playing in the US NCAA Division III, in nine years’ time (if he hasn’t become a doctor yet), Chiu will be 27, and will have grown up and bulked up. At Desert Christian High School in California in his senior year, Chiu played all frontcourt positions and averaged 17 points and close to 12 rebounds a game. [buti na lang di ka nag college sa Ateneo! lupit. may Pinoy palang malupit mag laro ng basketball na 7 footer! ]

Gregory Slaughter, 7’1”, center. The object of a tug-of-war between the biggest schools in Cebu, the University of the Visayas Green Lancer is a legit Fil-Am. The 6’11” native of Virginia will have learned a thing or two from Boy Cabahug in the next couple of years, and will definitely be a big asset at center or power forward. Imagine having two seven-footers on the floor for a Filipino basketball team. Who would have thought? [sa Visayas?! waaaah. sa UST ka na lang!]

Japeth Aguilar, 6’9”, forward. Currently sharpening his skills (and his elbows) at Western Kentucky, Aguilar shot 55.4 percent from the floor and led the UAAP in blocked shots in his last season with the Ateneo de Manila. Listed on the WK Hilltoppers website as “the first Filipino-born basketball player to ever sign with a Division I program,” Aguilar has already drawn attention because of his leaping ability and defense. [nabasa ko din ito sa website nung team. dunk champion siya dun. ginaya nya yung kay intal na dunk!]

David Webb, 6’2”, guard. Perhaps the best athlete among all high school players in the country. Grandson of 1972 Olympian Freddie and nephew of ex-pro Jason Webb, Spider was an All-Star at the first Nike Elite Basketball Camp. The high school senior is a tremendous all-around athlete, and often looks like a man among boys. Eventually, he will be able to do it all on the basketball court. [Spider Webb?! hahahaha. may dugong player pala talaga ito!]

Clark Bautista, 6’1”, guard. The best high school shooter in the country. Last year, the starting guard of Benedictine International High School learned how to play the point, with devastating results. This writer personally witnessed a game wherein the 5’11” junior hit five three-pointers in the last minute and a half of a losing game, cutting a deficit from 17 to 2. In another game, he hit 12 three-pointers. Will likely play for the UST Growling Tigers, whose assistant coach is high school coach. [sa UST?! wow! palitan mo na si Mirza! dapat may slashing game ka rin!]

Maui Villanueva, 6’4”, guard/ forward. In his senior year at Higashiyama high school in Kyoto, Japan, the former UAAP juniors Mythical Team member has developed his perimeter jump shot and defense, not to mention a deeper understanding of international amateur rules. [nabasa ko ang isang article tungkol sa kanya! malupit daw work ethic nito. kaya ngaun naghahanap na din daw ng mga pinoy players ang Japan! move over Sakuragi!]

Pong Escobal, 6’1”, guard. Perhaps the most composed guard in the NCAA today. The Davao product is only in his sophomore year for the defending champion San Beda Red Lions, but pro scouts are already interested. Can play either guard position with equal skill. [malupit talaga ito! pero mas malupit pa rin si LA!]

Rico Maierhofer, 6’7”, forward. Perhaps the most athletic big man in the UAAP, playing out of position at power forward or center. The De La Salle Green Archer is developing his outside shot, and has become a much more potent defender. [developing what?! hahaha. takaw foul si rico. pero yung rebounding niya malupit!]

Jervy Cruz, 6’4”, forward. Unstoppable in the UAAP, MVP material in any amateur league. Cruz has been polished into the mold of a Benjie Paras by Pido Jarencio at the Growling Tigers. If he develops more moves facing the basket, he will be able to play bigger opponents at his position. [17 rpg?! college player?! da who?! MVP na talaga ito ngayong season! except kung i-frame up ng mga kalabang school ng game fixing or i-plant ang fake documents na taga Zaire pala ito at 30 y/o na! Tapos si Ekwe pa daw ang pinoy. hahaha]

Rey Guevarra, 6’3”,  guard. The upside seems limitless. When he plays in control, Guevarra is a fearless one-on-one attacker. His leaping ability is second to none, and his dribbling skill gradually getting better. With growing maturity in Louie Alas’ system at Letran, Guevarra can only get better. [Leaping Ability is second to none?! Vince Carter ka ba boy?! I'll let JC Intal and his crying face dunk over  that Intramuros face of yours!]

Riego Gamalinda, 6’4”, guard/ forward. Perhaps the most versatile player on this lineup. Can play off-guard to power forward, but is also a  versatile offensive player, and works hard on defense. Another player whose potential seems limitless. [di ko masabi kung andito dapat siya. pero Al-Jamal would be better. almost same height pero mas ok ang shooting ni Al-Jamal]

Patrick Cabahug, 6’2”, guard. The best shooter in the UAAP, with the size to match. With Bautista and Cabahug spelling each other, we’d have no problems with outside shooting. If Cabahug can bulk up and learn to create shots for himself, he can be a big threat from outside and going in to the basket. [boooooo! TANGINA MO! ang TAKAW MO! F4 dapat ag AdU last season! kinuha mo ang play na dapat ay kay Bono!]

Jason Castro, 5’10”, guard. The most polished player in this lineup. Even as a member of the SEABA juniors champion team three years ago, Castro already looked like a young Tony Parker. [lupit nitong hayop na ito! yung 20 pt lead ng Beda nung Game 3 ng finals halos siya lang kumain! yun nga lang talo. Hyper like Tubid pero may control.]

Of course, there are several other players who could be on this list, and this is just a projection. Still, this team would have the size, skill and athletic ability to match up with the toughest teams in Asia.

And there’s nothing wrong with dreaming, is there?

Bakit pala wala si Jojo Duncil? Si LA Tenorio? Saka yung best kept secret ng UST, si Raymond Olgado (yung may reklamo gawa kayo ng blog nyo!)? Magiging Fil-Am na rin ako by that time! hahaha

BTW, I've heard na BAKA mag naturalize ng isang foreinger para sa team. May nabasa akong BAKA si Sam Ekwe (SBC), in case mag mature agad ang laro niya. Meron din na nagsabi na baka taga Middle East ang i-naturalize. Kung ako tatanungin, dapat wag na. Kasi kitang kita yung tunay na Filipino sa pagdating sa paglalaro under the RP Flag. Tingnan nyo si Alapag. Ayun ang Filipino! Pati si Kerby, malupit. Kahit dati ayaw ko sa kanya. Asi-hater ako dati pero nung nakita ko ang tiyaga nya sa laro, nasabi ko, taena, pinoy talaga ito. Pero si MARK "THE TRAITOR" Caguiao, pak u ka boy! Di ka Pinoy Go back to the States and play ball with em niggas. Talo ka pa nina Kelly Williams at Gabe Norwood!

Dapat palang gawin ay mag migrate yung magagaling magbasketball sa Pinas tapos magpakasal sa mga 'Kano para tumagkad tapos yung basketball genes mailipat sa anak. eugenics ba tawag dito? Bloodline project yung word na pumapasok sa utak ko eh.

Anyway, suportado ko na agad ang lahat na Team Pilipinas!

In the darkest hour

Only the things that matter will be there for you.

Things that you took for granted. That you overlooked for almost your lifetime. Until the darkest hour of life came (Your darkest hour, so far. -Homer Simpson).

I've took my life for granted. Never thought it would be of importance, to me, or to anyone else. I've always told myself, "pag oras mo na oras mo na. Wag ka na pumalag pa." But flashes of Samurai X's episode when Himura was asking his sensei why he can't master the Hitren Mitsurugi, his master calmly replied, "because you are always ready to throw your life away. you must learn to preserve it so you can protect others that you love." Maybe that's what I have to learn. I'm living not for myself, I'm living for others. I'm but a link in the world's human chain, I have to do my part to keep the world, the people I love, and myself complete.

----

By the way, I love you baba. You kept me grounded. Made me feel mortal in between my Olympian bragging and dreams. >:D<

Believe.

Down 10 points.

With 75 ticks left on the game clock.

I hoped we had a Reggie Miller on our team. Or even a TMac.

But, alas, UST, our UST, lost our prized clutch player.

Fuck. 75 ticks left on the clock. 75 ticks before damnation...

All hope lost in me. Every drop of happiness sucked from me with every drum beat and every "Retikano" cheer from the green side.

Right to rule. Yeah. Fuck. Cheat more, damn cheaters.

I thought it was all over. I thought it was another slap on UST's face, another slap that we had to take again 8 years running.

But then again, ang puso ng palaban, di dapat pinagdududahan.

The YJ in front of us was shouting, in his paos voice, "Nagawa na nila ang part nila. Gawin na natin ang part natin."

Oh well. I have to do my part then, aside from trashtalking, showing the middle finger to the green cheaters, and cursing the stupid plays of Cortez and Mirza.

It'll just take 75 ticks, anyway.

After a basket from UST, and a turnover from Tang (a good elbow to Cortez's face to wake him up). The momentum shifted to UST.

Believe. This is what I forgot to do. To believe.

Last year's Cinderalla story was all about believing, not only on the team and every point that they make, but on every Thomasian's dream and hope of winning it all.

Totoo nga sabi ni YJ. Ginawa na ng team ang magagawa nila, yun ay ang maniwala na kaya nila manalo. Kailangan din namin gawin ang parte namin, paniwalaan ang mga pangarap koponan at ng bawat Tomasino sa koliseo.

----

Sobrang saya ko sa panalo na nung mga last 30 secs, tumakbo ako sa DLSU side para mag cheer ng "Go USTe!" hahaha.

In your face, cheaters! Dugas pa mga cheers nyo sa San Beda.

Disconnected.

It's been years.

A couple of weeks most probably, since I wrote something on my multiply account. Work schedule has nothing to with it though.

Our very reliable ISP, Smart Bro(ken) suddenly got disconnected amidst the thunder and lightning of one rainy day in Katipunan. I reckon, at first, that it would be back after a day or two. But, after four days of waiting, I decided to call Smart CustoServe. For the nth time, my call couldn't get through. Until my patience snapped, due to lack of my recommended daily internet dosage, and I went to Smart Wireless Center at SM North. I inquired about the problem and they told me that maybe we got disconnected because we still haven't settled last month's balance. So I got some cash and paid for it, then advised the girl I've talk with beore that I've settled the balance and asked her when our internet would be connected again. She informed me that it would take a day or two. Ayos, I told myself. But after a week, we still can't connect to the net. And calling CustoServe is like writing your thesis on water. Useless. Futile. I hope my brother could get through the useless service.

A week after I got my first paycheck, I went back home to Lipa. It was a trip I was looking forward to. I get to relax back at home, away from the complex routines and everyday truckload of stress. It was, coindentally, my mother's birthday too. So along the way, I called her up to greet a happy birthday, and told her that I would be buying pasta, some bread, and a couple of litro drinks to celebrate her birthday back at my lola's house. I expected my aunt to be there with my cousins, so I bought a big Red Ribbon party pan spaghetti. It was a good day to celebrate a birthday, the sun was up, it wasn't that hot (well that's Lipa's climate I guess), and I got to give something back to my mom, somehow. Wel, that is until I found out that my aunt and cousins wouldn't be coming over because they had a lunch scheduled that day. So I got to eat the spaghetti with my other uncle, my neighbors, and the helpers. Oh well. It's the thought that counts.

Me: "Citiphone, this is Raymond. How may I help you?"
Cardholder: "Uh, Jay?!

Shit. It happens almost ten friggin' time everyday. Ang layo ng Raymond sa Jay! The funny thing is the other daym instead of Jay, the cardholder said, "uh, ian?"

Uh, about work. The good news is that I got a new schedule. I'll be logged on from 7am to 4pm. That's about the same time that I get up to go to school and come back home. It's good because, I get to rest earlier and somehow get back in time for the evening news. And this schedule would enable me to take MA next semester, that is, if I get to save some money. The bad news, on the other hand, is that I wanted to quit already. I have three reasons why I wanted to quit:

1. Endless Cycle of Foolishness. Everyday, I get to put on a fake smile (at least on my voice) and greet the stupid, idiotic cardholders, as if they were my master. And no matter how clear I explain to them the solution to their problem, they would always press on their hate for our bank's hidden charges, which are in fact clearly stated and explained on the application form and card's terms and conditions. And I would, as far as my patience would hold, apologize to them. Apologize that God gave them so small a brain that they can't comprehend why they breathe. I wanted to end all of this crap.
2. Attitude Driven. I remember a message sent by our Group Head, that work should be faced with a positive attitude. I tried to do it by the first week of my log. But somehow I felt like Harry Potter surrounded by dementors who suck every drop of happiness and sanity in my mind, from the idiotic and irate card holders to Über kupal officemates to crap work policies. Positive attitude in our work is hard to come by these days.
3. This is not ME. Before graduation I preconditioned my sub conscious that I wouldn't work for a call center or anything to do with a conversation with someone else over the phone. But lo and behold, I am included in the call center employee statistic. I sourgrape and repeat it over and over inside my head that I took this job to save money for my master's. But sourgraping wouldn't change reality. It would change the fact that I hate this kind of job. This is not what I planned in my life, given some calculated risks here and there. I envy my other officemate would had some courage to resign after 7 months of working in the same company. He told me that he never really liked this kind of work. He never found any kind of satisfaction. Somehow, I wish I could muster enough courage too. I guess I have to devise an escape plan, and a Plan B.

By the way, I would like to apologize to Mirza for trashtalking his game. Damn. He burned Ateneo during the last game. 6/7from rainbow country?! Coach Pido must have cried during the game, because both of joy and disbelief. hahaha

Emo.

Minsan masarap umupo na lang

makinig sa himig ng hangin

manood ng sayaw ng mga dahon

magpayapos sa init ng araw

magpahalik sa lamig ng gabi

 

Minsan masarap mangarap

bumalik sa ibang nakaraan

maramdaman ang gustong hinaharap

mabuhay sa planadong kasalukyan

at maramdaman ang mga ito labas sariling kaisipan

 

Minsan. Sana.

Granuloma.

A granuloma is a medical condition characterized by a noncancerous inflammation in the tissue. Typically, a granuloma encompasses only a small part of the tissue. For the most part, a person with a granuloma does not experience any signs or symptoms. In fact, most granulomas are found through an x-ray that is performed for unrelated reasons. When found during an x-ray examination, the granuloma is often mistaken for cancer.

The majority of granulomas are the result of an injury to the tissue, particularly as the result of infection. In some cases, a granuloma may occur in the lungs as well. In fact, the most common cause of granuloma is a fungal infection in the lungs, which is called histoplasmosis. Other conditions associated with a granuloma formation include berylliosis, syphilis, sarcoidosis, Crohn’s disease, tuberculosis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, and Wegener’s granulomatosis.

The granuloma that forms as the result of these conditions is generally a calcified granuloma. This type of granuloma contains deposits of calcium and usually takes time to develop. Therefore, most granulomas have been present in the body for a very long time before they are identified.

Another form of granuloma is granuloma inguinale, which is a bacterial infection of the genital area. This form of granuloma is caused by a bacteria called Calymmatobacterium granulomatis and mostly affects individuals living in tropical and subtropical regions, such as Guyana, Southeast India, and New Guinea. In addition, this sexually transmitted form of granuloma affects men more often than women, particularly homosexual males. An individual with granuloma inguinale develops blisters or lumps in the genital region, which ultimately become open sores. It takes about 80 years after exposure for granuloma inguinale to develop into open sores.

It is essential for granuloma inguinale to be treated right away, as it can cause a great deal of damage to the genitals and can spread to other areas of the body. In order to treat the condition, it is generally necessary to take antibiotics and to allow the area to heal for three to five weeks. In addition, a person who becomes infected by granuloma inguinale is capable of catching the disease again at a later time.

Guess why I posted this.

(n)One for UST!

ZERO. TWO.

Damn. Reality check people!

I didn't expect this would happen. I expected something better, something champion-like.

But hey, this aint Kansas, Dorothy.

The fairytale story of our championship is no more. This season is a whole new show. A whole new story. And it seems that some players are still sauntering in pages of basketball lore.

Yes, Japs is making his charity trip worthwhile, and somehow made a trifecta in the second game. But Japs is still inconsistent with his outside shot. Teams can still live with him throwing bricks and prayers and actually making one go in once in a game.

Yeah, some players beefed up. (probably had some extra rice due to the championship! 4phl07 private language. hahaha) But Espiritu still has to make two threes in a row (i believe he's 0/4 in the first game). Canlas, who i told Kali will be the scorer of the team, though leaner now, still has to make a significant contribution on scoring.

Yeah, we're just unlucky coz we can't hit threes anymore. Oh come on! You can still score two points in basketball. Do a ball fake from the rainbow, drive, pull up and score two. And if somehow the lane is open, go stong and get fouled. It's easier to score from the free throw than score threes. Yeah, mas astig ang tres! But basketball isn't about flash, it's about efficiency (see Spurs-Cavs game).

Well, UST happens to be adjusting to Jojo Duncil's exodus to the pros. It takes 5, boy. Jojo might have been THE player for UST, but he's not THE team (nice diaz!). People need to learn to step up. Like what they did last year. In one game Jojo scores 20, the next game Espiritu drops 20, and following game Ababou  shot the lights out with another 20. This year? I guess Pido has to step up (hahaha.).

In my humble opinion as a basketball enthusiast, UST need to do a few things:

[1] Defense for Defense. "Defense wins championship," I remember reading from Bill Russell's blog. And defense is what we need in our journey for our championship's defense. The lack of defense makes it easier for opponents to score, and our lack of scorers makes it hard for us to fight a scoring battle. Defense is the way to go.

[2] Press Break. People have noticed this. UST has a hard time to break the press. The weaker (in comaprison to the DLSU version) Pumaren press killed us in the first game. And the Tams press humiliated us for more than a half. We've got to learn how to help the point guard cross the midway line. We have guys like Espiritu and Ababou who can act as another guard in case the point guard gets trapped. People need to communicate and people need to help if UST has plans to break the press.

[3] In and Out Game.This is the basketball philosophy of the ex-Rockets coach Van gundy. To establish the inside game first, to make the life of the shooters easier. We have the inside presence, c/o Cruz. to this kind of game. We have to make other teams commit double team against Jervy. Then we have to learn to swing  the ball, or to move without the ball better.Shooters better make open shots, or bettter learn to drive the ball and get that foul. 

Di dapat yung mga players nanonood lang, nakatanga, at naghihintay ng bola na dumating sa kamay nya. You have to want it, you have to get it!

[4] PUSO! This is what made us win last year. This is what we lack now. There might have been glimpses of this against FEU, but we can't fool ourselves. Di na ito ang dating UST team na may puso.

But no matter what happens.

Black Gold, Black White! GO FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

 

PS: WTF! What's up with Mirza, Pido?!

Matagal ko nang pangarap makita ang pangalang PILIPINAS sa loob ng basketball court ng Olympics. Yung oras na makita ko ito sa telebisyon ay siguradong iiyak ako sa galak, iiyak ako dahil maipagmamalaki ko na ako ay Pilipino.

Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit madaming ayaw magtagumpay ang Team Pilipinas sa FIBA-Asia Tournanment. Pinapagana na ba nila ang pagiging alimasag nila? O baka inggit na naman sila kasi di sila sisikat pag nanalo ang bansa natin?

Malaki ang tiwala ko sa Team Plipinas. Malaki ang tiwala kong kaya nila maging numero uno sa atin kontinente. Kaya nila ito, kahit pa sabihin ng iba na ang larong ito ay para sa matatangkad lamang (marahil di na tumangkad at nasupalpalan sila noong bata pa lang sila).

Eto pangako ko sa sarili ko, pagnakapasok ang Pilipas sa Olympics sa 2008, magiipon ako para makapanood kahit isa lang laro nila.

*edit: shit. dyslexic*

Heaven Cried

and I was under its eyes...

Damn. Tough luck.

Yesterday afternoon's downpour irritated me more than the usual rain because of three things:

[1] I decided not to bring an umbrella that morning because I thought that there wouldn't be any rain later in the day (should have watched the weather report the night before)

[2] I just shined my shoe (which is like one in a blue moon)

[3] I just had enough money to travel by jeep back to the condo! No cab ride for me. >.<

----

But the rain made me look back at the past. (*lol* nostalgic!)

Ang bawat patak ng ulan sa daan, bawat kwento ng mga taong naiinip sa paghihintay sa harap ng gusali ng CTB, at sa bawat oras na sinusunog ko sa pag iisip ng gagagwin habang umuulan ay nagpaalala sa akin ng UST.

Sa ikatlong buwan ko pa lamang sa unibersidad ay nakita ko na ang maalamat na ilog ng España. Inis na inis ako noon kasi huli nang ibinalita na wala na palang klase, kung kelan pa baha na saka pa nila sinabi. Ang masama pa dito, kasama ko ang pinsan kong babae, na naka all white na uniform. Kaya todo buhat at akay. Dun pa lang, sinumpa ko na ang unibersidad. Akala ko noon ay di na mangyayari ito ulit sa akin, pero mali ang akala ko.

Sa huling taon ko sa UST at sa huling semester, inabot na naman ako ng baha.

Naisip namin na mag cut sa klase ng Philo of Religion dahil bukod sa feeling namin ay walang kwenta na naman ang topic, ay gusto din namin mag DoTa. Dun pa kami nakapwesto malapit sa may pintuan ng Arena.

Imon: oi voltz umuulan na, tara na.

Voltz: eh di nabasa tayo. mamaya na. scared?

Em: mamaya na lang, kill pa kita eh.

Imon: lol. sige.

Kaya ayun, paglabas namin ay baha na ang Dapitan. Tapos para makatawid ay kinakailangan pa namin bayadan si Kuya Tadyak ng bente. Malas. Akala ko ay yun na ang hangganan ng kamalasan ko. Yun pala ay nagsisimula pa lang ito.

eto pala isang entry ko tungkol dito.... [mula sa friendster]

Bumaba mula sa langit ang galit ng mga anghel. Tinangay ang mga basura, binaha ang mga kalye, sinira ang daloy ng trapiko, at pinalusong ako sa agos ng ilog ng Sampaloc.

Naranasan ko ito sa unang pagkakataon noong Agosto 2003. Pero hindi ko inaakalang maaulit muli ang pangyayri iyon, ang masama pa nito ay mas malupit pa ang nangyari.

Dala ng katamaran ay lumiban kami sa klase ng Rationalism para mag DotA. Masaya naman ang kinahinatnan ng laro, hindi na namin namalayan ang oras, pati ang nangyayari sa labas. Kaya andoon kami pagkatapos ng laro, nakatanga sa umaagos nang tubig sa dating kalye ng Dapitan. Ayos. Nakarma agad kami tuloy.

*fast forward*

Pagkaraan ng isang oras mahigit na paghihintay sa loob ng unibersidad, napagpasyahan namin ni Lis na tahakin na ang daan pauwi sa kanila. Sapagkat ang mga sasakyan, na tila mga bangka na sa Laon Laan, ay puro patay na ang makina at mahimbing na nakasawsaw sa baha.

Ayos. Adventure.

Mula sa kalye ng Navarra hanggang sa Lacson ay maririnig ang sigaw ni Lis sa pandidiri sa bahang umaagos sa kanyang paa. Habang ako naman ay kalmadong nagmumura sa aking isip sa mga nangyayari.Nang makarating sa Lacson ay nakita namin ang pagkabuhol buhol ng trapiko dito. Nakita ko rin ang pagiging makasarili ng tao pagdating ng krisis. Buti na lang at nagsawa na rin si Lis sa pagsigaw, nakakadagdag inis din kasi ito.

Hindi ko inaakalang malalakad namin ang kahabaan ng Laong Laan, mula Navarra hanggang sa Isarog (na dalawang kanto lang ang layo sa Mayon.). Tapos may baha pa na nilunod ang aking balat na sapatos at ang aking pinalatsang pantalon. Asar. Sakit pa ng likod ko.

May mga kaklase akong na stranded sa loob ng AB nun. Balita ko ay may Jollibee Meal na naman sila c/o Dean's Office. Tapos nagki paglaro yung mga prof sa kanila ng "pinoy henyo" sa faculty room. Habang ako ay parang basang sisiw na nanginginig sa bahay niya. :)

----

Ang ulan din ito ay pinaalala sa akin muli kung gaano ako kapabaya nung nag aaral pa lang ako.

Mataas daw ang IQ ko, ayon sa IQ tests na kinukuha ko sa internet at sa eskwelahan. Pero underachiever daw ako, dahil wala akong study habits. Ako naman, walang pakialam. Sa loob loob ko ay "dati ko nang alam yan lols." Bukod sa walang study habits, kuntento na lang ako sa pag pasa. Basta di bagsak ok lang. Ok lang na mag cut ako basta sa test makapasa ako. Siguro ito ang dahilan kung bakit may mga pagkakataon na naiinis ako sa mga taong pagkatapos pa lang mag check ng papel ay pumipindot na agad sa calculator para malaman kung ano ang dapat nilang score para maka 1 sa kanilang grado. Pero inis ba ito o inggit? Sila may gustong mangyari habang ako, walang pakialam. Apathetic, pathetic even.

Ang paghihirap ng magulang ko para mabigyan ako ng mabuting edukasyon ay sinusuklian ko ng kawalang kwentahang pagliliwaliw. Basketball dito, Dota dun, tambay dito, tulog dun. Pero sa di ko inaasahan pangyayari ay nakapag tapos din ako.

Ito marahil ang isang dahilan kung bakit di na rin ako sumali sa tinuring kong "contest" noon. Nung matapos ko ang thesis ko, nasabi ko sa sarili kong may silbi pa rin pala ako. Nung matapos ang defense, at nalaman ko ang score ko sa thesis ko, naging masaya ako. Sa wakas, narating ko rin ang gusto kong mangyari. Sa wakas, nagkaroon din ako ng pakialam.

Ito pala huhugutin ko rin sa blog sa friendster. tula ko habang umuulan. :)

Poem 1 [saw your pic on friendster]

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

I dreamt of

sand castles and seashores

and sound of the crystalline waves

crashing subtlety on land

[While driving along East Avenue]

Pictures of you, then

came falling from the past

like the fading sunlight

on the distant horizon

[Heart jumping]

I held my tears.

[Of Joy? Of Sorrow?]

Nostalgic lines

of youthful vibrance

[Writes]

You were the soul

of my own soul

My love's apex

and its downfall

You made me L.O.V.E.

[Lay down my Own Very Essence]

But never taught me hate.

[Sigh]

I dreamt of

sand castles and seashores

and sound of the crystalline waves

crashing subtlety on land

With us leaving footprints

on the sifting sands.

 

POEM 2

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

Patience is the rain

It's only good

As long as it keeps

pouring on

dropping

dripping from

the heavenly valves

of mercy and holiness

Yet mercy and holiness

still has limits

Wait until swords

of the sun penetrates

through the clouds

to burn

to boil

to disintegrate

every drop

every drip

of patience.

[i hate waiting, when I'm not the one who is suppose to be waiting.]

 

POEM 3

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

[LOOOOOOOOONG OVERDUE POEM]

Nasan ang pag asa

Sa mundong ginagalawan?

Bawat patak ng ulan

Bawat tulo ng luha

Ang gulo at lungkot na dala

Tila ay di na mawawala.

PG - 20

Sakto palagi ang mga pangyayari.

Eto ako may gusto gawin, er, dapat gawin. Pero di ko magawa. Hindi dahil hindi ko gusto, or tinatamad ako, or  wala lang ako oras. Palagi na lang ganito. Tapos may magagalit o mawawala sa 'yo pag di mo nagawa yung isang bagay. Palagi na lang talagang ganito. Ayaw ko pa naman maging issue ito o alibi sa di pagkakagawa sa isang bagay.

Kahit anong gawin kong tipid nangyayari ito. Minsan na nga lang ako kumain sa isang araw para lang makaipon, pero nagkakataon din na may mga di inaasahan na mga pangyayari para mawala yung mga inipon ko. Grrrrr.

From this day until the 20th, i have to choose between two things: be hungry while working (or not even work at all! walang pamasahe) or do that thing that I have to do. XD

----

Alam kong di naman talaga issue ang pera, pero minsan nangyayari. Malas ko lang. Panahon ko palagi.

Minsan pinapanalangin ko na anak na lang ako ng isang mayaman at sikat na mag asawa. Pero siguro gutom lang ako sa mga panahon na yun. hahahaha. Di ko siyempre ipagpapalit mga magulang ko. :)

----

Patay Gutom until 20. hahahaha.

Tonight We Dine in...

Sorrow.

Tonight I Can Write [Pablo Neruda]

Tonight I can write the saddest lines. Write, for example, 'The night is starry and the stars are blue and shiver in the distance.' The night wind revolves in the sky and sings. Tonight I can write the saddest lines. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too. Through nights like this one I held her in my arms. I kissed her again and again under the endless sky. She loved me, sometimes I loved her too. How could one not have loved her great still eyes. Tonight I can write the saddest lines. To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her. To hear the immense night, still more immense without her. And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture. What does it matter that my love could not keep her. The night is starry and she is not with me. This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance. My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her. My sight tries to find her as though to bring her closer. My heart looks for her, and she is not with me. The same night whitening the same trees. We, of that time, are no longer the same. I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her. My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing. Another's. She will be another's. As she was before my kisses. Her voice, her bright body. Her infinite eyes. I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her. Love is so short, forgetting is so long. Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her. Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer and these the last verses that I write for her.

Emo mode na naman.

Whoever invented it is either a genius or a damn fool.

Your Call [Second Serenade]

Waiting for your call, I'm sick, call I'm angry
call I'm desperate for your voice
Listening to the song we used to sing
In the car, do you remember
Butterfly, Early Summer
It's playing on repeat, Just like when we would meet
Like when we would meet

I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh
I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh
Cause every breath that you will take
when you are sitting next to me
will bring life into my deepest hopes, What's your fantasy?
(What's your, what's your...)

I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

And I'm tired of being all alone, and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
x4
(I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have)

I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
(I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have)

Damn. T_T

Incinerate

It has been almost two months since I "came back" to playing Magic: The Gathering TCG. After 8 years of hiatus.

And in 20 day's time, I'll be able to play (or cast!) again my second most favorite red spell, Incinerate (Next to Lightning Bolt). It would be reprinted in the next core set, the Tenth Edition. And it would be having black borders! So I guess my Block Red SLigh can now switch to Standard.

Anyway, I gave the title Incinerate because that's what I am feeling right now. Or to quote Jaya, "...toast is an appropriate description."

--------

It has been 3 long weeks since I entered the workforce. A blink of an eye turn around from a being a college slacker to a corporate slave, a happy-go-lucky a-hole to a lucky-to-be-awake-by-8-pm mofo. All in a series of strokes with my pen over a paper with the letterhead Citibank,N.A scribbling my signature Raymond Olgado. And right know, I felt I've sold my soul to the devil. And the devil came in the person of a beautiful lady who said to me, "This is a 9-5 job. After work, you don't have to think about anything else except play." Damn it. [To think I fell for the semantics. Wittgenstein would have killed me! (hahaha)] Nine to five job my ass! Every second seemed like an eternity in work.

But the devil's half truths are even worse. Pinaasa lang amf. After work, indeed, the only thing I think about is play, i.e., when the fuck can I play when I'm already tired and really to collapse on to my bed. I wish I could save my soul. But salvation comes in the form of a 50 grand bond. Good luck to my soul then. Salvation for now is not an option. And the Theory of No Choice tells me: magtrabaho ka na lang! Oh well, I guess I have to float around the Inferno's Second Circle, at least to pass time.

I do love my work, somehow. I guess I just have to look at it from another angle.

------

Burnt out. My ash carried over yonder by the west wind.

------

The thing I hate, though, about the stress that work brings is that it affects my personal life. When I signed that contract, I told myself, "taena ayos ito, may pang date na ako at pambili ng bulaklak para sa kanya." But three weeks later, there's no more Her. No one to buy flowers for, to watch the Simpsons movie with, to feast at Bellini's with, to hang out with. Damn. All this stress makes me do things I'm not supposed to do, or throw words which are not true at all. I guess this is what I got for selling my soul...

-----

I love you. Even though my heart is of stone.

12th Floor

Floating in Eternity

Hope encased

In a glass room

Looking inside-out

 

Lights blinking

Lights blinding

Weary eyes

Of Hopelessness

 

Free Falling

Slow descent

To harsh reality

Hope Found, Love Lost.

 

Looking up

At the 12th floor

Love I found

Love I lost.

-----

Anti Burnt Out Party tomorrow. Yey! :)

----

mag pagupit na kaya ako? *isip*

Cheer...

Just got home from work.

While waiting for thr PC to start up, I can hear the drum beats from Ateneo's Babble. Experience tells me that a particular beat is the "Fabilioh"-thing, while another is the "Go 'Teneo".

At sa di inaasahang pagkakataon ay napangiti ako. Malapit na pala magsimula ang UAAP. Malapit ko na naman isigaw sa buong Araneta ang pagiging Tomasino ko. Hindi ko alam kung anong mangyayari sa kwento ng basketball team ng UST. Katulad noong isang taon na mala-Cinderella story ang nangyari sa koponan namin. Sarap alalahanin ng mga laro noon. Sana mag July 7 na! hahaha. First game ng UST.

BLACK GOLD! BLACK WHITE!

I've got

An icebox

 

where my heart used to be.

Broken. Down. Stressed. Burned out. Slowly dying.

Badtrip!

*sigaw parang sa Lucky Me ad*

Malas. Bago pa lang pumasok sa trabaho ay naramdaman ko na may mali sa simula ng araw ko. Pagkadating ko sa opisina. Pooooooooooooooooooooooooooota! May exams nga pala kami ngayon (oo may exam kami sa work). Kaya ayun nga nangyari. Badtrip! 13/20. Lagas ang average ko. Kailangan kong makabawi. Pero andito pa rin ako sa harap ng PC, gumagawa ng blog entry.

Badtrip!

--------

Bakit kaya ganun ang ibang tao? Parang walang utang na loob? Sabihin na nagkusang loob ka na ngang tumulong, tapos siya pa ito yung kung mag utos ay parang binabayadan ka para mag trabaho. Mabuti pa aso, kahit mumu meron. Ako? Mura lang at sakit sa ulo.

--------

Nalunod ako sa ika-21 palagpag.

Nag dive ako sa maliit at mababaw na pool sa ika-21 palapag.

Langoy. Sisid. Hinga.

Ang ganda pala dito pag gabi. Kita ko ang mga ilaw ng mga gusali sa marikina, katipunan, libis, cubao at meron konti dun sa may makati ata yun. Ang lamig ng ihip ng hangin ay nabubura sa ligamgam ng tubig ng pool.

Hinga. Lutang. Tingin sa langit.

Ang ganda ng mga bituin. Lumulutang din sa kanilang maitim na dagat. Sarap sigurong sumama sa kanila. Sarap sigurong umalis na dito sa lupa.

Pikit ang mga mata. Lulubog. Dahan dahan.
