Walkin on the sun

Walkin On The Sun - Smash Mouth

Ah, ah! Pagkakabanas na eh.

Aba'y parating na nga ang tag init! Biruin mong kaaga pa laang eh tagaktak na ang pawis. Partida na yun at kakaligo pa laang. Susmariajosep! 

Bukod sa tumataas na temperatura ay tumaas na rin ang presyo ng gasolina pati ang pasensya ng mga tao ay naapektuhan nareng pag dating ng tag init.

Kaya chillax muna at mag enjoy ng magic. (hehehe)

Lucky Pick!

Sa nakaraang dalawang linggo ay nagkaribok ang bayan sa pagpila para sa pag taya ng lotto na ang premyo ay umabot ng higit kumulang 300m. Ah,ah. Kung makikita nyo laang nag pila doon sa outlet, eh daig pa yung pila ng nag kokomunyon sa katedral eh. At pihong puspusan ang dasal ng mga tumaya na sana sila ang manalo - kaya siguro puspusan din ang trabaho ng mga santo sa langit. Aba'y pinagdasalan na ata ng iba ang lahat na santo eh. yun nga laang - may nanalo na. Sabi nga nung mga nag jogging sa Granja, ang nanalo daw sa lotto ay mag asawa (clue: FGMA. :p) Ala'y kung gayon laang eh, daayaan pala areng lottong are. 

Di ko pinagkakaila na isa ako sa tumaya sa lotto (aba'y baka maka chamba! sayang nga din!). Pero di ako nagdasal sa mga santo para manalo ako. Iniisip ko na laang na para sa mga mahihirap at mga nagugutom ito - katulad ko. wahahaha.

Isang nakakatawang pangyayari sa lottohan - 

Ako: Pa, are na yung ticket.2 yung Quick Pick ninyo (ayung ang tawag sa US sa Lucky Pick)

Pa: Aba'y kaganda ng mga numero. (sabay ngisi)

Ako: Gayon din laang naman eh. sa huli ninyo kasi iniliagay yung QP ninyo.

Pa: (naka ngisi at tumingin sa mga nakapila) Aba'y wag na kayong tumaya. Nasa akin na ang mananalong ticket.

Lol. Totoong nangyari yaan.

Early to Bed...

early to rise, makes a man, healthy, wealthy and wise.

Ayan ang isa sa mga nursery rhymes, na itinuro sa amin dati sa school ni Mrs. Conti, na hindi kong makakalimutan - kasama na ang Baa Baa black Sheep. Sa pag dating ni papa, medyo nadududa na ako kung totoo nga yan.

Sa agang matulog ni Papa, alas otso pa laang ay tulog na iyan. Yun nga laang mga bandang alas dose ay gigising yan para utusan akong pahinaain ang aircon. Tapos mga alas dos ay manggigising na ulit yan para pahinain ulit ng konti ang aircon. At sa huling pagkakataon ay gigisingin niya ulit ako ng alas quatro y media para ipapatay yung aircon. Eto ang malupit, 5:30 ay palayahaw na yan na sisigaw na "pakundo, ika'y gumising na! at tayo'y mag wawalking pa!" 

Anak ng pitong puting tupa! Pagkakaingay naman talaga. Parang nasa kabilang barrio yung kausap eh. 

Mukhang yung rhyme eh mali. Kasi yung bida laang yung nakikinabang, paano yung sidekick?

Passing the Torch

Dati nung nag retire na si Michael Jordan pinaguusapan kung sino ang papalit sa trono ni His Airness. Sabi ng iba si Kobe Bryant daw, yung iba ang sabi ay si Grant Hill daw, tapos ngayon si LeBron. Walang konekyson ito sa ikukwento ko - gusto ko lang ipahiwatig na pag may umaalis ay may darating para punan yung espasyo na naiwan nung umalis o nung lumisan. Kasi...

nung isang araw nung nasa sala kami ng mga tiyo ko. Magkwentuhan kami ng isa kong pinsan, tiyo kong isa, at si papa. Nagkukwentuhan sila ng mga nangyari noon - yung mga barkadahan at adventures nila. Ako naman ay andun laang sa isang upuan at tumatango na laang at ngumingiti. Bigla na laang nagsalita yung isa kong tiyo na "aba'y kami'y malapit na rin. kayo nang bahala." Kunaman. Eto na naman tayo sa masinsinang usapan. Si papa naman yung yung isa kong pinsan ay nagusap gamit yung malupit nilang lenguahe na ginagamitan ng mga letrang pinabaliktad (tinuro sa akin ito dati ni papa pero di ko matandaan yung tamang pagbabaliktad.) na medyo nagegets ko naman yung usapan.

halimbawa:

bala - dara

muna - numa

meron pang iba pero di ako sigurado kung anong letra yung magkakapartner. :p

dito rin sa usapan ito, naisip ko na parang ang malas ko. kasi naman, isa ako sa pinakabata sa mag pipinsan. tapos yung mga tiyo at tiya ko ay sabihin na nating pabalik na sa buhay. Kaya naman mukhang di ko sila makukuhang ninong o ninong sa kasal - malamang di pede yung mga pinsan ko. Ang malupit pa dun ay naunahan pa akong magpakasal nung isa kong pamangkin. (basta 2013 pa :D) At mukhang magiging lolo na ako bago matapos ang taon. (history repeats itself sabi nga ni Ate Dada.) To think yung mga pamangkin ko ay halos kasing edad ko na rin yung iba at mas madalas pang kabarkada.

Sabi nga ni Papa, parang ako din lang yan. Kuya Tito ang tawag, hindi Uncle o Tito (er, well tito na yung palayaw mo :p).

Inuman at Inuman ulit

Nakareceive ako ng text mula kay Benjo:

Inuman? (Y/N)

Nagreply naman ako ng: Y. San?

Sinabi niyang sa may Dapitan Square daw sa bagong bukas na inuman (sa cor ng Lacson at Dapitan.) Pagdating namin ng UST ni voltz ay nasa Tapsi pa si Benjo dahil may inuman daw dun dahil bday ni Padi (isang seminarista sa eccle). So naghintay pa kami ni voltz sa Jbee dahil may utang pa din ako sa kanyang Champ meal dahil sa pustahan sa PBA. Habang naghihintay ay naglaro kami ni Voltz ng Fifa 09 (oh yeah! buzzer beater goal ni Robinho). At pagdating ni Benjo narinig namin na ayaw na daw niya maginuman kasi may susunduin pa daw siya. (*ubo*) Syempre bad trip kami dahil dumayo pa kami para lang sa inuman. Pagkatapos ng pangungutya ay bumigay na din si Benjo at natuloy ang inuman sa Dapitan Square.

Umorder kami ng isang bucket ng Lights (booo walang pale!). At si Voltz naman ay biglang nagpaalam kasi announcement daw ng winner ng election sa AB. Pero mabilis lang daw. Gaano kabilis? *fast forward* Di na siya bumalik.

Anyway, so kwentuhan kami ni Benjo dun at biglang dumating si Diaz na ayon sa kanya, ay nasa kanya ang password ng results ng elections sa AB. LOL. Kaya sinabihan kong pumunta na sa para makabalik agad sila ni Voltz para sa inuman. Si Benjo naman ay busy sa pag tetext with matching emoticons pa. (pero kalimutan nyo na lang na sinabi ko ito. hahaha) Yun pala ay aalis na din siya kasi may <nakalimutan ko kung anong itatawag dun eh - kayo na lang mag isip kung anong itatawag dun :p >.

Nung paalis na siya ay hinarang siya ni Marella na kakadating lang mula sa dinner niya with family. Kaya ayun isang bucket ulit. At nung nagpagusapan na uwian na dahil may <blank> si benjo at nag yaya si voltz ng inuman with SDP, may malupit akong narinig na sinabi ni marella tungkol kay benjo - pero syempre nakalimutan ko ulit, di ba benjo? hahaha.

lol. wala lang.

oo nga pala, salamat sa SDP at congrats sa mga nanalo sa kandidato nyo :)

Kuya Mon's Magic Trick

http://upthehill.multiply.com/video/item/13/Kuya_Mons_Magic_Trick?replies_read=10
as taught by David Blaine over a video conference. :p

Whatcha Doin...

...Tito Mon?

Iya shouted from the dining table as I went in the house.

"Just got in, how bout you? Whatcha doin Iya?"

"Eating pepperoni!"

WTF. Where did she get that word? Man, kids really grow up fast these days.

So I went closer to Iya for the usual "high five!" and "very high five!" and helped Tita Oye feed Iya with soup, fish fillets, and yes, pepperoni pizza. 

I was giving Iya a small portion of pepperoni when she spat out a few pieces of chewed fillets. She, then, looked at me and told me, "Tito Mon! Messy!"

hahaha. Kulit.

Goooooooooooooool!

Camp Nou's scoreboard lighted as my striker found the bottom corner of the goal post beating his defender and the keeper! 

Oh yeah! Euro Champions once again (actually, it's 4th time with AC Milan).

and, WTF, it's 2:00am (and we'll be fetching my dad at the airport at 5!)

Fifa addiction at its best (and worst.)

addedum:

Voltz texted the same time and told me that Shevchenko and Ronaldinho were aggressive that he can't play Kaka as a scorer.  But later he texted that Kaka finished the game with a goal and 2 assists (or is it 2 goals and an assists?)

Dad, Cometh

My dad arrived the the airport at around 6:00am last Tuesday. My cousin, Kuya Jay, and my dad's friend, Ka Aning, met him inside the airport and helped him go through the immigration thing faster than other passengers. He came back here to see my uncle and, well, to rest.

For those who doesn't know, my dad had a quad bypass last Thanksgiving and his chest looks something like this:

The red line is where they cut the ribs to bring his heart out and the three dots are where the tubes were placed during the operation. Plus he has few marks on his right leg, where they got the veins for his heart. The bones, btw, were connected again by staple wires.

(kaya tumigil na kayo sa pag iinom at pag sisigarilyo. :p )

Anyway, my aunt was worried about my dad but seeing my dad's swagger and hearing usual vocabulary, I know he's A-Ok. As my brother said in the familay email "magmumura na ulit kaya maayos na yan." 

LOL.

Recession and the Line of Thought of the 'em oldies

While on our way back to Lipa, inside the car:

Papa: Ang hirap ngaun sa US. Ang daming nawawalan ng trabaho.

Tita Oye: oo nga eh bagsak talaga ang ekonomiya.

Papa: Kaya ikaw, Raymond, mag asawa ka ng nurse na US citizen. Madaming pera yun.

Tita Oye: Oo nga para may citizenship ka na tapos mapera pa yung mapapangasawa mo.

Ako: (LOL)

Papa: Yun si... na anak ni... nurse yun eh.

Tita Oye: o kaya yung anak ni Pareng ... ok un ah.

Ako: Kung pera lang at citizenship ang habol nyo, yung anak na lang ni Obama. 

Booyakasha!

Why cant we pantomime?

The Great Beyond

R.E.M

[Man from the Moon OST]

Ive watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen
I cant believe that I believed I wished
That you could see
Theres a new planet in the solar system
Theres nothing up my sleeve

(chorus 1)
Im pushing an elephant up the stairs
Im tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

And all this talk of time
Talk is fine
And I dont want to stay around
Why cant we pantomime, just close our eyes
And sleep sweet dreams
Being here with wings on our feet

(repeat chorus 1)

(chorus 2)
Im breaking through
Im bending spoons
Im keeping flowers in full bloom
Im looking for answers from the great beyond

I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
Look into the stars
Look into the moon

(repeat chorus 1)

(repeat chorus 2 2x)

Im breaking through
Im bending spoons
Im keeping flowers in full bloom
Im looking for answers from the great, answers from the great
Im breaking through
Im bending spoons
Im keeping flowers in full bloom
Im looking for answers from the great, answers from the great, answers

Morning Elegance

Oren Lavie

Sun been down for days
A pretty flower in a vase
A slipper by the fireplace
A cello lying in its case

Soon she's down the stairs
Her morning elegance she wears
The sound of water makes her dream
Awoken by a cloud of steam
She pours a daydream in a cup
A spoon of sugar sweetens up

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

Sun been down for days
A winter melody she plays
The thunder makes her contemplate
She hears a noise behind the gate
Perhaps a letter with a dove
Perhaps a stranger she could love

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
Where people are pleasently strange
And counting the change
And She goes...
Nobody knows

On our side of things - Don't open

Wanted to post this here before I delete my email copy. :)

Our great grandfather, Faustino Macasaet, had daughters and an only son, Mamay Doroteo Macasaet, who married Juana de Joya, sister of Justice de Joya. Mamay Tio did not have a child. The daughters of our Great Gandfather, Faustino, were my Grandmother Dionesia, Tomasa ( your grandmother) , Luisa, the mother of Tio Pablo Silva and another daughter, the mother of Tia Arsenia Landicho. So the Macasaet name died with our branch of the family. 

Fortunately my grandmother, Dionesia , married a cousin, Anacleto Macasaet. So it was just in my branch of the family that the Macasaet named was maintained. Inay and her brother, Dr. Valentin Macasaet ( first veterinarian of Batangas ) were Macasaet. Dr. Romeo Macasaet, Dean Avelino Macasaet of U.P. Dentistry are sons of Kakang Valentin Macasaet. They carried the Macasaet name. So in our branch of the Macasaet Family, we became, Cuevas, Olgado, Silva, Landicho. Thanks to our forebearers, they stressed their name as Don ( PM ) Pablo Macasaet Silva, Atty Bonifacio Macasaet Cuevas etc.

 

A brother of our great grandfather, was Tiburcio Macasaet, the great grandfather of Renato Lumbera, who was your neighbor at Espana St.( remember him - god-son  of Tio Pacio.) In this branch the Macasaet name died also as Rene Lumbera's great grandfather had two daughters and a son, who had an only daughter - the mother of Rene Lumbera.

 

Our great grandfather, I believe, had another brother who might have been the grandfather of Ate Rita Ealla( here the Macasaet name also died as Ate Rita was the only child of Tio Paulo Macasaet), and another brother, the grandfather of Ate Martha Macasaet ( a doctor in Lakeland, Florida), daughter of Dr. Simeon Macasaet of Davao. Another brother might have been the father of Dr. Ramon Macasaet. and gradfather of Dr. Robert Macasaet.

 

What I have traced above are our immediate Macasaet relatives. Other Macasaets must have been first cousins of our great grandfather, Faustino Macasaet. It must be from this cousins that the Macasaets proliferated. I had an intention of organizing a reunion for the above relatives with creating a schism with the other Macasaets, where it is hard to trace now how we are related. In fact I financed the 2002 reunion when General Erning Macasaet of Davao ( Inay's nephew from her father's side ) and Celita Castillo Cabigao ( grand daughter of Nanay Seniang Macasaet Oreta ofBatangas City ) were presidents of the clan.

The Dream Begins - a 55 word story

He left his football just across the border - but never his dream. 

For from the dusty Mexican barrio to the complex LA suburb,

 he held on to his dream. 

Problems: come and gone, still he held on 

– going straight towards the goal - football. 

And then, just then, the dream found him at 

St James' Park.

-----

A crack at the 55 word story - about the movie: Goal: The Dream Begins. This movie officially becomes number two of the best sports story ever written in my book. Ever. (yeah, still downloading the second movie.)

Inspiración.

and yes, umiyak ako dito... at least di sa HSM. hahaha.
