Paalam na 2008! Hello 2009!
Kung ano man ang mga nangyari sa taong 2008, kalimutan natin ang mga hindi gaanong kaaya-aya at isapuso ang mga magagandang nangyari. Pero kahit na wala masyadong magandang nangyari sa nagdaang taon ay magpasalamat tayo sa buhay na ibinigay ng Panginoon.
Okay lang yun, may 365 na araw tayong pwedeng magbago. Manalangin tayo na araw-araw ay buhay tayo.
Maging sabik sa bawat araw ng ipinagkaloob ng Diyos. Matuto sa pagkakamali ng iba. Hindi kailangan na ulitin mo ang mga pagkakamali ng iba tao. Kung inulit mo, tanga ka!
Piliin mo na lang na maging masaya kahit hindi. Choice yun e.
Makinig sa mga magulang. Kahit mga kaibigan ay naiinggit sa'yo. Kaya, mas makinig sa mga magulang, hindi ka nila bibiguin.
Minsan, masaya rin namang mag-isa. Mas nakikilala mo ang sarili at mas magaan ang loob mo kung nag-iisa ka. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero maganda ang pakiramdam nang paminsa-minsan ay nag-iisa ka. Secured ka, 'yung ganon nga.
Matuto, matuto at makinig. Kahit mahirap ang buhay, go pa rin ng go!
Itu-ito ang mga natutunan ko sa taong 2008. Alam kong mas marami pa akong matutunan sa taong 2009...
Kaya...manibagong bagong taon! Ang ingay na rito sa amin kaya mag-ingay na rin kayo!
Rock en Roll!

Astig maging Bayani!
Muntik ko na tuloy makalimutan na araw ng pagkamatay ng ating pambansang bayani ngayon. Ang lahat siguro sa atin ay abala na para sa ating mga Buenas Noche at kung ano ang mga kakainin natin sa paghihiwalay ng taon.
Pero nais ko munang magbigay-pugay sa taong naging dahilan kung bakit kahit papaano ay masasabi nating mga Pilipino na tayo malaya.
Mas naintindihan ko ang kahalagahan ng buhay ni Rizal ng kinuha ko ang History 50 o mas kilala bilang subject na Rizal's works, life and writings. Noong una ay hindi ko naintindihan kung bakit siya ang ginawang pambansang bayani ng Pilipinas. Ngunit nang naglaon ay mas na-appreciate ko ang pagiging bayani ni Rizal.
Ang kanyang talino ay talagang hindi mawari. Ang mga sulat niya ay habang-buhay na tatatak at tuluyang magbibigay kahulugan. Hindi titigil and kanyang impluwensya hindi lamang sa kanyang mga kababayan. Patuloy pa rin ang kanyang imluwensya sa mga Pilipino ng kahapon at bukas.
Ang kanyang buhay nagsilbing apoy na sumiklab upang magbigay-liwanag sa madilim na buhay ng kanyang mga naghihirap ng mamamayan. Ang kanyang kamatayan ay nagsilbing mitsa ng ating mahabang paglalakbay tungo sa kalayaan...
Ngunit hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi gaanong binigyan ng pansin ang araw na ito. Wala man lamang espesyal na pagpupugay para sa kanya. Siguro nag-iba na nga talaga ang panahon. Wala na ang mga bumabatingay na sigaw ng mga sumisidhing damdamin ng mga kabataan.
Magkagayunpaman, maraming salamat sa buhay mo Pepe...Patuloy ka sanang maging inspirasyon lalung-lalo na sa mga kabataang tulad ko...Kung buhay ka sana ngayon, tiyak ko, hindi ka magiging masaya. Pero sa tingin ko, gagawa at gagawa ka ng paraan maiparating lamang ang pagbabagong nais mo sa mahal mong Pilipinas.
Astig ka talaga!

Tulungan niyo kami, anak ng Mindanao
Inatasan kami ng isang napakabigat na proyekto. Pito kami sa grupo at kailangan naming lumikha ng isang makabuluhang programa tungkol sa Mindanao,para sa Mindanao.
Kailangan namin ang tulong mo, anak ng Mindanao. Tulungan mo kaming mabigyan ng sagot ang mga katanungang bumabagabag sa aming mga puso. Sagutin niyo sana ang aming mga katanungan upang makapagsimula kami sa aming proyekto...
1.Anu-ano ang mga maling persepsyon ng mga kababayan natin mula sa Luzon at Visayas tungkol sa Mindanao?
2.Totoo bang may kaguluhan sa Mindanao?
3. Totoo bang hindi ligtas tumira sa Midnanao?
4. Hindi ba maganda ang ipinapakita ng mga taga-Luzon sa totoong nangyayari sa Midnanao?
5. Dapat bang katakutan ang mga taong nakatira sa Mindanao?
6. Ano ba ang nais kong iparating sa mga kababayang may maling persepsyon tungkol sa Mindanao?
7. Bakit nagkakaroon ng mga ganitong maling akala tungkol sa Mindanao?
Iilang lamang ang mga tanong na ito sa nais naming bigyan ng kasagutan. Ngunit, malaki ang maitutulong ng inyong mga sagot. Huwag sana kayong mag-atubiling magbigay ng inyong komento.
Sige na anak ng Mindanao, hayaang maiparating ang inyong boses!

Merry Christmas and
i don't want to make another blog dedicated to twilight. because its uber-rated na! even chris tiu made a blog about it, too! anyway, i am sure everyone has watched it already! haha
anyway, what i wanted to do instead is to blog about Christmas. Para maiba naman.
Today marks 27 days before Christmas.
This is how we Filipinos celebrate our Christmas as i see it.
We decorate our homes with the smell of the dusty decors. People rush to malls or bazaars in the midst of economic turmoil. We see singers and artists promoting their Christmas albums on tv. We ask our kamag-anaks abroad to send us balikbayan boxes. We buy apples, oranges and grapes. We also buy hams in green boxes. We have kris kringles so that we can have gifts ourselves too. We complete the Simbang Gabi in the hopes of granting a wish. We buy polka-dot clothes for the New Year. We buy cans and cases of beers and drinks....
But the difference I see of our Christmas now from before is this...
When September comes, you can hear kids singing Christmas carols in your neighbor's doorstep. Relatives from anywhere in the world go home to spend Christmas with your clan. Gifts come in chocolates and treats. Your cousins pester you with their new stuffs...
I guess the time has changed. Is the world becoming bigger or it's just that prices of finite things continue to go up and up and up...
I used to get excited whenever December comes...I used to get excited with the thought of having new stuff and clothes and treats that come with all the parties that i go to.
But to let this thought go...i guess i need to watch Twilight again...
May this Christmas be a different one for all of us. Let us not forget the true essence of it--the birth of our savior Jesus Christ.

One of the lasts
i just realized that this is going to be my last sembreak ever.
that is, if i ever decide to go back to school.
since, i "moved out" of the house almost four years ago, my youngest
brother unofficially claimed my room. therefore, i don't have my own room
anymore since then. i am just laughing in the thought that after i graduate in march,
and im going home for good...i realized that i have no room of my own.
i can't continue to rollout my sleeping bags and sleep on my parent's floor, can i?
thinking about it is funny. but im worried though. what happens when that time comes?
my therapist told me that i dont get to sleep a lot. i guess he's right. every night, my mind just goes nowhere...i tried talking with myself, and just thinking alot of things until my eyes grew tired and i realized its morning already. this happens all the time. i guess im a worry-wart.
im very much optimistic. i am. or i guess, i think i am...or i just want to be one.
i guess its so-humanly that people worry about certain things in their lives. mothers worry about her children...fathers worry about his family...friends worry about their friends...and me...together with millions of graduating students of batch 2009 worries about what lies ahead after getting that diploma.
will we land a job after immediately? will we like the job we'll get? am i going to proceed to law? get my masters? get married? be a slacker? we don't know.
sometimes, or should i say most of the time..things just don't work out the way they should. things don't happen the way we wanted them to be. and it just sucks.
but i do believe in one thing.
i think the past generation has underestimated us. i believe that the youth today has gone beyond what is expected of them. i believe that the youth of today has struggled much on their own...but also learned to mature on their own.
as flowers bloom in season, we have to bloom with the season, too.
i still worry though. i guess i just have to bloom on my own..and wait for the butterflies to pass by...

Rants on people
i wanna talk about people.
how they piss me off.
but i just allow them to be...piss me off so tenderly.
i wanna say "haha" to you, too!
i wanna talk about people.
how they fail you.
but you expect them to be.
i wanna say "booyah" to you!
i wanna talk about people.
how stupid they can get.
but they wallow in their existence.
i wanna say "how moronic you are!"
i wanna talk about people.
how i belong to them too.
but i don't wanna be part of the "we"
i wanna say "oopsy!" to me.

Flushed disk
narealize ko na ang mga dapat kong gawin para sa araw na ito ay kinailangan ng aking magiting na 512 (or less)MB na USB flash disk...
Bakit?
Una.
andun ang aming thesis proposal na kailangan kong iprint para makareproduce ng tatlong kopya.
Pangalawa.
kailangan kong itransfer ang ibang files na andun upang gumawa ng sariling folder sa aking official literary editor folder.
Pangatlo.
nandun ang aking articles sa law at may kailangan din akong ipaprint.
Ang Problema:
hindi ko siya mahanap.
hindi ako sigurado kung nasan siya.
ewan ko kung saan napadpad ang kakarampot na gamit na iyon.
haaay...
kahit na maliit lang yon e importante yun sa buhay estudyante ko.
sa loob ng mahigit na tatlong taon e sinamahan niya ako sa tuwa at saya ng buhay Atenista ko...
saan na kaya yun?!

Isang lunes
matagal na rin pala akong hindi nagbablog.
masaya na rin kasi akong makiusyoso sa ibang nagpopost.
masaya na ako pacomment-comment lang.
ang ibang friends ko na lang ang nagbablog tungkol sa akin,
tulad na lang nung birthday ko.
oo 19 na nga pala ako. haha
marami na rin ang nangyari sa akin.
busy minsan. minsan hindi.
nagkainteres ako ulit na manood ng tv series.haha
sa katauhan ng kaibigan kong si gossip girl.
nahiligan ko rin nagyon ang magbasa ng twilight.
kahit na ayoko sa style of literature ni stephenie eh binabasa ko pa rin.
kakabanas kasi yung main character--ang tanga-tanga.haha
bumalik na nga pala ang Judy abott. yung pinapanood ko noong bata pa ako.
Daddy Long Legs yung original title nito. Nasa QTV tuwing 9.30. Pero bago yan,
ginigising ako ni Mary sa Secret Garden tuwing 9 am. Naalala ko tuloy nung binabasa
ko lang yun sa libro. Isa sa paborito kong literature ay sulat ni Frances Hodgson Burnett yung
sumulat din ng Little Princess...o kung sa atin pa eh Princess Sara.haha
Muli akong naexcite manood ng UAAP games. Kahapon eh mangiyak-ngiyak ang FEU
Tamaraws nang talunin sila ng La Salle. Ang sumunod na laro eh ang Ateneo versus UE. Of course, Ateneo ang nanalo. Kaya't excited ako sa darating na laro sa Linggo. Kahit nasa bahay ka lang at nanonood eh damang-dama mo ang excitement ng La Salle-Ateneo games! Year 2002 pa nang huling nagtagpo ang dalawang teams na ito sa Finals.
Nageencode ako ng mga profiles ng mga graduating students. ang dami nila! naku! kakapagod. pero ok lang. kaya sa mga may balak kumuha ng yearbook magbayad ng kayo! haha

Cinderella
Natuwa ako nang nalaman kong ipapalabas uli ng ABS-CBN ang Cinderella.
Yung cartoon nga...na orange yung hair na wierd ang cut. Tapos yung mga
stepsisters at stepmother eh hindi kasing pangit ng mga nakikita natin sa
storybooks nung bata tayo...
Naalala ko tuloy nung maliit pa ako...mga nasa Grade 5 ata ako nung unang
pina-ere ang Cinderella. Naaalala ko mga alas 10 yun ng umaga...bago mag
Talk TV o Kris and Korina...Naaalala ko rin...bakasyon nung mga panahong yun..
Panahon kung saan tambay ako ng kalsada naglalaro ng shatom, piko-baro, patintero,
teks, at yung maliliit na kotse-kotse na ikaw ang mag-aassemble na may kasama
pang race track...
Pagpatak ng alas 10 eh uuwi na ako niyan...uuwi akong marumi ang mga paa...
magagalit sa akin ang katulong namin dahil ang rungis-rungis ko raw...
Suspension of disbelief. Talagang namemorize ko na ang opening billboard ng palabas..
"Kailan, kailan ko malalaman ang itatatawag sa isang mukhang walang pangalan...
Sabik na akong ikaw ay makilala ko..."
Ganito kasi ang story...Alam natin na ulila na si Cinderella at naiwan siya sa kanyang malupit na madrasta at dalawang stepsisters...Pero sa palabas e ang prinsepe ay nagpanggap bilang isang commoner...lumalabas siya ng palihim sa palasyo...in some twist of fate e nagkita sila ng prinsesa niya, siyempre papasok dito ang beauty ng ating beauty..Siyempre hindi matatapos ang kuwentong to kung wala ang mga kalupitan ng madrasta niya at mga malditang stepsisters...at siyempre hindi rin kumpleto ang storya kung wala ang-ever supportive fairy godmother ni Cindy at ang mga nagsasalitang pets niyang aso, ibon at mga daga...
All-time lovestory. Hindi ko alam romantic na pala ako nung kabataan ko. Nakakatawang isipin. Ang tanong...totoo nga bang may Prince Charming? Lahat siguro ng kababaihan si Cinderella...naghihintay sa kanyang Knight in shining armor...Hindi ata lahat ng lalaki ay prinsepe...mas marami ata ang mga Frog Prince...

Put the trust back
I am beginning to trust our medical system in the Philippines.
Last night was the most horrible and excruciatingly long night I've ever had. I experienced a really bad stomachache and tell you, it was really painful. I haven't experienced it before and fortunately the nearest hospital is just to blocks away...whew!
I annoyingly woke my parents up at two in the morning because the pain won't go away. I started to puke and the next thing i know, i was in the middle of my parents' bed rolling over because I can't lay straight...
So, my parents decided to take me to the hospital. So at 3 am, we went to the hospital..
We went straight to the emergency room which was empty except for the two nurses chatting. The next thing i knew, I was who being checked by the nurses and the doctor...They weighed me, took my BP and my temperature...I had a funny feeling though because it was my first time to be taken to a hospital ever...
I was not feeling nauseous or what, but my stomach was just crying in pain!
Anyway,they asked me to go to bed but still I can't lie down. So i just took a seat...Until I saw one of the nurses preparing a syringe...And then she went to me and gave me the painful shot!
Wow, I haven't remember how it first felt when i had a shot when i was younger...I must have been really brave when i was a baby...
But the most amazing thing happened...After giving me the shot, i felt the pain starting to go away...as in really it was gone!
Yey! I was waiting for my mother to come back and when she did they asked me if i was ok...and i said i was..and they started to laugh...hahaha
and then we went home...
And so that was the end of a really long struggle...so Kudos to the people of Mindanao Medical Center who took care of me really early this morning!
Ha! Our medical system is not that bad after all...so let's be thankful for that!

Blog entry #0
I watched the two reruns of American idol..the first one was the via satellite and the other was the primetime telecast...
I thought David A was outrageously boring and the other David was totally hoooot!! haha
I hope Cookie wins the title. He truly is a great performer. In fairness to Archie, his voice makes me fall asleep...hehehe
I went to my new dentist today and got my front tooth fixed.Yey! I have a complete set of teeth now!
I am starting to hate PBB...the show's atrociously nonsense...(just my opinion)...Or i guess because i have other channels to choose from during primetime now i'm back home watching cable tv...haha
Two days ago, two people were shocked to find out that I exist. True. The first one was my new dentist, and the other one was the people who used to live next door...They thought that my parents only have three sons...me...doesn't exist..Weird..
So here's how my day goes now...
I wake up between eight or nine in the morning...
I watch tv while eating and having coffee..
Then copyread the news of the day..which I send to the DJ of the day for our news program for 89.9 Blue Knights Fm in Davao...(I still do my presidential duties even when i'm home..)
Then check my mails...check multiply..
Then more tv and surfing the net...then take a bath..cook lunch..siesta...clean the house..watch tv...surf the net..watch more tv and sleep...eat in between...what a slacker!
Well...I got to rest...and what i mean by resting are these!
Happy Summer!

crazy early morning dialogue with ayi, jebo and shai
(This was inspired by Rani's yagit dialogues entry)
Ayi: (referring to me) Cuz, you look you chicks today...Yesterday you looked like a nine-year old boy with a backpack...
Shai (unintentionally eavesdropped): Cute man...
Jebo (sumali lang sa usapan): Dili ui! Kay babae man si Pre!!!

Almost senior!
Summer classes officially end today!
Mine ended with the viewing of our documentary short films which were all made out of research, hardwork, patience and everything else...
I am happy and contented with everything that turned out this summer...the idea of spending it in school is not a bad idea after all...Although it was tiring and stressful, it was worth it. I re-learned the value of leadership and relationship with people around you. I realized that people are not as bad as I thought they were and not as good as I thought they were..haha And peers are really helpful because you got to learn a lot from them!!! And always...say thank you and be polite to everyone!
Now I am back home to rest and catch up with all the shows I miss on TV and back for being a slacker again..that is four two weeks until the new semester begins when I turn into a graduating student...a senior...an upperclass"woman"!!!
Yayks!
xoxo

super kalami
i just had my dinner at Lachi's...again.
for three consecutive days, i have been eating there together with random sets of friends...whoah! now that i am making "tipid", grabeh naman ako kong kumain lately..whooh!
the food in Lachi's are great and yummy yummy! the servings are fair enough to fit your craving tummy...and the cakes...wow! wala kang masabi sa dami at sarap ng mga pagpipilian...(ngayon nga nagsusulat ako para marelease ang super busog kong feeling...)..
anyway, i discovered a really great dessert shop just two feet away from Lachi's, the Baby Cakes where they sell heavenly brownies and rebel bars...super kalami!
Though may kamahalan nga lang ang mga presyo nila, sulit na sulit naman ang pera mo!
bring along your friends and families when you try it yourself...they are located in Marfori Heights, Ruby street...you won't miss it for sure...=)

Mahal na ang extra rice...
Mahal na po ang extra rice...sa huling kain ko apat na piso ang itinaas nito..pati ang half rice na dati ay tatlong piso lamang ay apat na piso na ngayon...
Sabi ng DAR, may krisis daw ang Pilipinas sa bigas...pero sa aking pagmamasid sa mga mumunting lupain sa Mindanao..nakita ko na luntian at masayang sinasaka ng mga magsasaka ang kanilang mga pananim...
Narinig ko sa balita, nagtaas na raw ng presyo ang Jollibee...ang mga dating nitong budget meals ay hindi na kaya ng budget ng mga avid-suki nito..Tiyak ko maraming bata ang umiiyak ngayon dahil mahal na ang matamis nilang paboritong spaghetti...
Sumunod naman ang KFC...ang huling kain ko sa KFC ay noong Martes lamang...ayaw ko nang banggitin kung saan at aling branch..pero talagang uminit ang aking dugo sa tagal ng serbisyo nila...Ang tanga-tanga ng kanilang crew...hindi nila inisip ang mahabang pila ng mga gutom na gutom na customers...mabuti na lang at masarap ang kanilang Banana Ala Mode...na nakuha ko pa nang libre..pero in fairness...kung sarap ng manok ang pag-uusapan ay panalo sila sa panlasa ko...
Nabanggit ang manok, kagabi ay kumain ako sa kalapit na kainan na ang bestseller ay pritong manok...bad trip...gutom pa naman ako...wala akong ibang nalasahan kundi ang harinang binudbud at ang sukang may toyo at ketsup na ginawa kong sawsawan...sarap! Masarap sana...pero parang mantika ang kinain ko...ayoko na ring banggitin ang pangalan ng tindahan na ito..dahil maraming panahong dalawampung piso na lamang ang natitira kong pera ay swak na sa akin ang isang manok at kanin...
Kung sinasabi ng Kagawaran ng Agrikultura na may krisis nga ang bansa sa bigas, at ang dinig ko ay may problema raw sa ating hog industry...sana huwag naman nilang takutin ang buong sambayanan...Biro mo,maraming bata ang masasaktan dahil mahal na rin daw ang harina, magpapanic ang mga nanay at susugod sa mga tindahan at aakalaing end of the world na, o di kaya naman wala ng mga birthday parties na magaganap dahil may foot and mouth disease ang mga baboy...haay ibig sabihin nito matagal-tagal pa na hindi ako makakatikim ng maalat-alat nitong ribs...
Naku! Hindi pa tayo nasanay...isa na naman itong pananamantala sa kawawang si Juan dela Cruz..pakana na naman ito ng mga matatalinong gabinete ni Madam President upang mabaling ang atensyon ng bayan sa ibang isyu...akala naman nila madali itong makakalimutan ng mga Pinoy...sana wag naman nilang gawing tanga ang sambayanang Pilipino...
Ngunit ang totoo...hinding-hindi ito nakakalimutan..dahil damang-dama hanggang sa kaibuturan ng mga milyun-milyong kalamnam..na kahit ngayon ay malakas ko pa ring naririnig...
Mahal na nga talaga ang extra rice...

A prayer for a friend
Ian has been a classmate and a friend since i entered the university.
It saddens me to hear the news about his father...
to everyone of you who knows Ian...let us prayer for him and his family...
May God strengthen them with His grace at this moment of their lives...
May the memory of their father serve as a binding force of their family...
To the Gencianeo family, my prayers are with you...

break muna
pinapatulog na ako ng nanay ko, pero gising pa ako...
nagtatype-type ako sa lumang keyboard na to..
nakaupo sa lumang paikot-ikot na malambot na chair na to...
may electric fan na paikot-ikot sa harap ko...
nasa bandang kaliwa ko ang hapag-kainan...
nasa harap ko ang altar...
nasa unahan naman ang tv...
nasa may bandang taas ko ang racquet ng badminton...
nasa taas ko rin ang cross-stitched last supper...
may printer sa harap ko...
naamoy ko ang pamilyar na amoy na to...
in short nasa bahay na ako...
yung bahay na buong buhay mong kinalakhan...
buong buhay mong inamoy-amoy..
kung saan ka buong buhay natutulog..
kung saan ka naglalaro nung mga kabataan mo...
mali..
tahanan pala...
tahanan kung saan nadama mo ang bawat palo ng nanay at tatay mo...
tahanan kung saan napuno ang iyong kamusmusan...
tahanan kung saan mo unang napanood si Blue Blink at doraemon...
tahanan kung saan ka rin nakadama ng walang-hanggang pagmamahal
tahanan kung saan masarap ang Milo at Bear brand
tahanan kung saan napaso ang mga kamay mo habang nagluluto...
tahanan kung saan ang pinto ay laging bukas at naghihintay para sa'yo
tahanan kung saan pinili kong lisanin tatlong taon nang nakakaraan, ngunit patuloy paring babalik-balikan...
haay..there's no place like home...
magandang gabi!

Laura Esquivel and some chocolates
I went out by myself last Sunday. I went to Victoria to eat and stroll...
I decided to treat myself with chocolates. I forgot that i had the book Andie lend me the other day inside my bag.
The book was Like water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel. The first time I heard the book was when my english 13 prof gave us the list of books we were going to make as a book report. But i never got to read or even see what the book was...So i was quite thrilled when Andie lend it to me...She had the latest printed copy and i think it was brand new...
So off I strolled...
After buying myself some supplies...i went to the booksale...It has been a ritual for me that whenever I go to malls, I'll drop by to booksales or bookstores...
I was scanning through the books and then I saw it...
"What was that green book that looks exactly like what i have inside my bag?!?"
"Am i hallucinating..is this the real thing...?"
Waah! I was shocked to see the book in the booksale! The same book i have...which costs really cheap! so cheap! waaah! Talk about luck..hahaha
So i bought it...Though it made me a little bit guilty because I got to spend the whole of my allowance for the week...Well, I still do believe that books are still go investments..
Haha...so another good buy for me!=)
So i started reading the book while eating some of the treats I bought to treat myself..
Life is great!=)

Verse 1
I’m not tired
Walking in this world while I’m blind
When I’m lost and alone all alone
I’m not tired
Searching
I feel the fire inside my bones
When I’m down and I’m lonely
That’s because I’m a man I’m a man
But You said that there was something inside of
Like the wind blows
Chorus 1
And now
Here’s my shoulder
Stronger and stronger
Give me that cross and I’ll be
I’ll be You
Verse 2
I touch Your wounds
I know that’s me
That’s because I’m a man, I’m a man
And I’m here to pay all the thing You’ve done
Chorus 2
And now
Here’s my shoulder
Not that I’m stronger
Give me that cross and I’ll be
Bridge
As I walk down the aisle
I feel that nails in my hands
And I ask why
Is that because I’m a man
(Adlib)
(Repeat Chorus 1 2x)
I will tell you
---but if you really like to hear this..log on to www.awitenista.com...may lyrics din dun and all the info bout the song..

Brother
My brother Ronald is celebrating his 22nd birthday tomorrow.
Tomorrow..he's gonna be three years, five months and five days older than me...he is always is...
Tomorrow...i believe, his cellphone, multiply and friendster will be bombarded with birthday greetings from random individuals i may not know of...i don't care...
Tomorrow...i believe, he will spend his day with his class and students or even with his girlfriend...or maybe (fingers-crossed!) with my family...
Tomorrow...if he's spending his birthday with my family that means with my mama, tatay, my Kuya Hero and li'l bro Nikko...maybe there's tito ray, tita helen, arde, ica and paulo...but no Pre..no hugs or kisses from his little sister...no text from his little sister...the only sister he has...
Tomorrow...his going to get older...
I wish i was closer with my brother..We grew up together..I remembered how many times we fought on silly things when we were growing up...
He is a nurse. I think he's proud of himself. I think my parents are too. But he doesn't know I'm proud of him too...I...me...his little sister..the only sister he got...
So this blog entry is dedicated to my brother..who doesn't know that even his little sister who's five hundrer miles away is proud that she has a crazy big brother...who never fails to cheer her up with donuts and munchkins...
I love you Kuya Doy..please don't settle down soon...I'm not gonna let you! Bleh!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

You don't know me
I was browsing through some friends pages and I read through their blogs. There's this tagging going on in multiply. I was tagged by some of them but i never really continued the cycle...so much for tagging me along.
Tagging is much like poking a person then you have no choice but to answer the questions or tell unusual things people don't know about you... Mura gud chain message ui na macurse ka with bad luck for 20 years...duh??? haha
Anyway...cge let me try... but i'm not tagging anyone! duh!
1. Akala ng mga nakakakilala sa akin....super energetic akong tao...hindi nila alam...naturally energetic lang talaga ako!! waaah...
2. I only eat two times a day.
(Wala na kasi akong ref sa boarding house..dinala sa farm namin...kaya hindi na ako nakakaluto tapos tamad na ring bumili pa...sa skul na ako kumakain..or minsan hindi na kumakain...that explains why ang payat ko!)
3. I love chocolates. (Everybody does!)
(Yeah....pero I can remember one time when my tita gave me a pack of hershey's kisses sa sobrang takaw sinuka ko! waaah...tapos nakita ko yung chocolates talagang nanghinayang ako! huhuhuhuhuhu)
4. I am a good cook.
(haha..yeah! i cook...my secret dream kasi ako..pero kung sasabihin ko hindi na secret!)
5. I wash my own clothes.
(Oo naman! siyempre kung wala kang nanay na maglalaba ng puti mong uniform eh talaga namang wala kang choice kundi maglaba! pero tulad kanina...kabibigay ko lang ng mga de-kolor kong labahan kay ate jenjen sa malapit na laundry shop sa'min...)
6. I'm actually a really private person...
(this might surprise you..but i am actually a private person..)
7. I watch people. I love watching people!
(i don't know why but i do...)
8. I don't watch horror films...
(hehe..scaredy-cat!)
9. I watch Marimar.
(ngano man diay?!??)
10. I love travelling and want to do more of it...
(Ahh..i love it when i go to places....I want to go to Ilocos or to Corregidor...soon it might just come true!!!)
11. My mum is a really cool mum..we chat!
(yep that's right! she even have a friendster account! want to add her up?! ayoko lang madiscover niya tong multiply site ko..hahaha pero siguro alam niya na because my brothers are here too...baka alam niya na nga ngayon! ouch! i love you mum!!!)
12. I feel most beautiful after a bath...
(weeeh!!)
13. I miss my long-curly-jet-black hair..
(but i'm lovin' my new haircut..)
14. I love coffee...pero i had to take a really strict restriction on it...
(Why? i almost got killed because of too much caffeine...just don't drink coffee before taking a flight and especially kung hindi ka natulog ng dalawang araw...)
15. I never had a boyfriend!
16. I wonder why people smoke...
17. i wonder why i'm telling all of you these...

The Search for Ateneo Diamond Jubilee Theme Song
The Search for the Ateneo de Davao Diamond Jubilee Theme Song
The Awitenista 2008 Productions, Kalasag—ang taunang aklat ng Ateneo de davao University in cooperation with the Ateneo de Davao Diamond Jubilee Organizing Committee and the Office of Student Affairs present the Search for the Ateneo Diamond Jubilee Theme Song.
What is the Search for the Ateneo Diamond Jubilee Theme Song?
The search is a special category for the Awitenista 2008 Finals. It is a song-writing category searching for the official theme song for the Ateneo de Davao University’s 60th Founding Anniversary.
What is the theme of the song?
The song must depict Ateneo’s 60 years of excellence as a Filipino, Catholic and Jesuit University. It must be inspired by the university’s thrust, following the Ignatian ideals of Magis, cura personalis, ad majorem dei gloriam and Ateneo de Davao’s motto, “Fortes in Fide”.
Who can join?
Since it is a special category for the Awitenista 2008 Finals, it follows a different set of guidelines from the five original Awitenista categories (Contemporary Solo, Contemporary Group, Jam Atenista, Religious and Nationalistic).
The search is open to any member of the Ateneo de Davao University community (Alumni, Students and Faculty members of the School of Arts and Sciences, College of Nursing, School of Business and Governance, High School, Grade School, Law School and Graduate School, and the Non-Teaching Staff, even the current finalists of Awitenista 2008), who may or may not be currently employed as a professional composer, singer or musician. This applies to the composer, interpreter/s and accompanists.
What are the song specifications?

The usage of tribal instruments is as well permitted.
All entries must be original, from lyrics to melody. Musical arrangements and melody can be acoustic, RNB, Jazz, Light Reggae, Country, Light Alternative Rock, and Ethnical genres. HEAVYMETAL and HEAVY ROCK (LOUD EXPLICIT MUSIC) are strictly PROHIBITED.
The song can be written in Filipino or English according to the composer’s discretion. Execution of the song must not exceed five (5) minutes.
Criteria for Judging
The entries will be judged according to the same criteria like that of the other five categories. The criteria of judging is as follows:
30% songwriting ability, as exemplified in the lyrics submitted
25% musicality, (includes melody and arrangement)
20% originality and creativity
• 10% originality and creativity of the lyrics’ content
• 10% originality and creativity of how it was interpreted & accompanied (performance)
15% appropriateness of song lyrics to the theme of the category
10% overall impact
• 5% audience impact
• 5% stage presence
Screening and Contest Duration
Composers must completely fill out the Search for Ateneo de Davao Diamond Jubilee Theme Song Entry Forms that are available at the Kalasag Office, the sponsoring organization of Awitenista 2008. The song must be submitted and recorded in a CD format and must be passed together with three (3) copies of the lyrics.
The deadline of submission of entries (CD, entry forms, lyrics) is on February 6, 2007 at the Kalasag Office, located at the Covered Court Building of the Jacinto Campus.
Submitted entries will be screened by the Ateneo de Davao Diamond Jubilee Organizing Committee headed by the Office of Student Affairs and will be judged by the same judges of the other five Awitenista categories during the Finals.
Only three finalists will advance and perform during the Awitenista 2008 Finals on February 16, 2007 at the Ateneo de Davao, Jacinto Campus Covered Court.
Prizes! Prizes!
Other than becoming Ateneo’s official theme song for its 60th year founding anniversary, big prizes await the winner of the category courtesy of the Ateneo Diamond Jubilee organizing committee.

My life story...nah!
I just recently cut my hair. My hair turned out to be the shortest I have since my grade school years. I’ve never been into a salon for sixth months and voila, the hairdresser was pulling my used-to-be-long-curly-jet black hair. So much for my hair history.
Snatcher—the word which I ultimately abhor. The brother of unkindness, the daughter of revenge, the father of corruption.
When I went to Manila just two weeks ago, I agreed to exchange my cellular phone with my roommate. She needed my Nokia phone because it had a louder alarm than her Sony Ericsson K_i. It was fine by me since it wasn’t the first time we exchanged phones.
When I got back to school, it was a Tuesday. Having missed my journalism class the night before I was caught up between writing my film critique which was due that night and fatigue for not sleeping (literally not sleeping!) for two consecutive nights.
And so when I was in my vulnerable moment in life, he or she grabbed the opportunity and seized or should I say snatched that damn phone which was not mine from my bag while doing my article! I didn’t really know what happened, so as three of my friends who were with me in the same table during the time of the incident.
Thanks to me for trusting my fellow Ateneans enough. Blame it also to my carelessness for leaving that darn black bag astray!
I was reading the President’s bulletin and have read numerous messages about the snatching in campus. I never thought things like that will eventually affect me—really affect me.
I want to tell you the real reason I cut my hair.
Maybe I was so fed up with the things going on around me. The lost cellphone which added to the stress of my parents that led to them not talking to me, the pressure of beating the deadline for my television class not to mention the tabloid you are reading write now, the big basket of laundry you need to wash, the stress of being broke because you spent the whole allowance meant for two weeks…you know the rest of the story.
When you are a college student staggering with all the requirements you need to finish plus the issues you are dealing within yourself, your parents, others, community, society, the world. The list is endless. You name, we deal with them with every moment of our breathing existence.
So what am I trying to say?
I salute to every single person who can relate to my little fairytale, or maybe worse. When you are left all alone in a big city, and you are expected to be good, I know it’s hard. So kudos to all of us! We may be older before our time but who cares? We are mightier than martyrs, more powerful than our politicians and smarter than Einstein! The youth indeed can change the nation (sounding more like Rizal).
So when you are caught with stress and pimples, change your hairstyle. Will it do you good or not, who cares? It is just hair, a microcosm of your body which is divided into groups and subgroups of stands of collagen and protein. It will eventually grow to any length your wicked hairdresser decides to snip off on your next salon appointment.
By the way, my mum and I are back with our YM sessions…and she sent me my allowance too. Life is still beautiful after all.

abs vs. gma ratings war
OA na talaga ang bangayang abs and gma. Everytime i watch tv, ang mga PSA's nila ang nadadatnan ko. Nakakabanas na!
Sana ay matapos na ang walang-kuwentang pagtutuos ng dalawang ito. Kung sa bagay, ratings really matter pero may hangganan naman ang lahat. Tama na and let the court decide on the matter.
Gusto ko lang naman na pag binuksan ko ang aking TV ay ang favorite show ko ang aking napapanood hindi ang sandamakmak na palitan ng mga paratang at reklamo mula sa magkabilang-panig.
Sa totoo lang...pareho na talaga silang corny at hindi na sila nakakatuwa.
