3. the Girl from the Red Planet

As I look at her everytime, that lovely face really can't just remove from my head.

Time really flies past, and that face never change.

Like Helen, a face that can launch a thousand ships.

First look, well at that time, I know she is beaufiful but kinda quiet and conceited. At first? I never thought of knowing her. Ever.

Well, thanks for her birthday, I was able to greet her and that's the start of a friendship...

We had so many fun times, from booze sessions, to playing billiards and travelling all over manila. Meeting her friends, meeting families as well and getting through college ending in a good note.

We do have many similarities. From watching anime, playing billiards, (which I learned from her, I don't really play billiards in HS), getting lazy at times. hehe Most especially, even we don't smile, when we're together, it seems it just full of happiness and fun!

Ah, yeah we do had some conflicts but not that really serious.. Just petty conflicts. hehe Yes, I did fall out at their house due to damn liquor. hehe I am so ashamed...

After college, yet she became successful at sorts. Getting an higher decree, being assigned to a good position and having a nice car. hehe

Being with her everytime seems no pressure, and add to the fun we are getting, it's a different feeling as well.. Let's say the boundary between love and friendship. I don't know if that exist. hehe

I tried, but I failed. Ouch... hehe But, that's fine, I just want to say that I'm glad to know her, and being friends with her for a very long time.

I want to thank her for the moments we enjoyed.. The times we shared our bad days. hehe Being bossy and brave to face those adversities.

I was inspired as well like we do have same problems we faced in HS then changed in college. For the better.

Am I hoping again for her? I don't have an answer for that today. hehe But I don't need to answer that, because I already told her about it..

Important is, I'm just here and here, always.

I know she is not that sweet, but she doesn't need to.. All I can say is, once I see her, it makes my day damn right. hehe

I just hope for her the best to her life especially to her career, improve more and well, less drinking dude. hehe

Damn these days, she is better drinker than me. hehe

Damn... One time, I can't speak when she talks, just a simple sigh. Hay....

Ah yeah, she did not come from Mars.

Ito ang ibig sabihin ng sinulat ko. hehe

Nang mawala ka sa akin, ikaw at ako'y nawalan.

Ako dahil ikaw ang minahal ko nang lubusan at ikaw dahil ako ang sa iyo'y lubusang nagmahal.

Nguni't sa dalawa ay ikaw ang higit na nawalan, dahil pwede kong mahalin ang iba tulad nang pagmamahal ko sa iyo nguni't ika'y di mamahalin tulad nang kung paano kita minahal.

-Ernesto Cardenal

Akalain mo, pari nagsulat nito. Galing.

Akalain mo din, isa siyang palastas na ikaw ang magaral ng Spanish.

Galing. Bravo..

flashbacks: Colt 45

As I got home medyo hilo and tipsy 4 nights earlier, peste kasing Tanduay Ice, naisip ko, naku wala to way way back college!!! hehehe

Nah, my first drink was well, college talaga. At sa bahay pa namin. hehe I remember, siyempre kaklase ko pa ang 1cpm noon. Siyempre, getting to know pa at ayun tatlo agad naging close ko sa section. 2pel from the south, Better Living, Magzi from the north, Fairview, and JP CEO from the far south, Batangas. (Sa UST, malapit lang si JP dalawang kanto lang from UST. hehe)

Well, after classes naman yun which is 7pm and nagkayayaan. Sabi ko sige, sa bahay, bili muna tayo ng maiinom. As a dumbfounded dude, I don't know what to drink. hehe Sabi ko sa sarili ko, sige kahit ano pa yan, inom na.

So, punta kami 711 eleven sa suki market (na ngayon eh Mini Stop), bili ng colt 45, at ng skyflakes at ng blue bay tuna. At first, di ko alam kung para saan yun dalawang huli binili. hehe

Umuwi kami, at ayun, labas na ng baso, sa akin yun sea world souvenir mug pa galing states (nabasag na din after some years) at inuman na!!!

Si 2pel, nagsisimula na magdurog ng skyflakes at ihalo sa blue bay. hehe

Adobo flavor pa ata yun.

Ayun, first sip of drunkeness, Colt 45. Tig iisa ata or tatlo kami ng 500ml, pero feeling ko tig isa lang. hehe

Pero di naman siyempre yun lang ang masaya dun eh yun inuman session. Yun beer, tapos yun kulitan, kwentuhan ng kalokohan at serious din.

Dun nagsimula yun college life ko na masasabi ko masaya. Like what I debated with Rheg yesterday, sa college naman ako talagang masaya kasi wala yun katulad niya nangaasar. hehe Hindi, yun mga barkada moments talaga. At siyempre may sessions din with my brothers talaga.

Nagulat nga ko that time, na sila gulat kasi ginagawa ko tubig yun beer. Eh wala naman masyado pait eh. hehe Well, because of ice I guess.

After that night, sa kwarto ko sila natulog, ayun bangenge ako pag gising. Malakas pala. First hangover. hehe Pero masaya naman yun unang inom at nasundan pa ng marami misadventures ng drinking days, booze days. Whew... Endless drinking resulted kinda enlarge my liver. Don't worry, di naman malala, thanks last year, kailangan ng diet and liveraide.hehe

I don't really regret like those booze sessions, lalo na yun nagsuka ako, except dun sa Bellevue. hehe Kasi naman almost all of them, are fun, and serious yet happy naman kasi iba yun advice din ng friends. Ang problem, some friends need to be drunk to get a good advice. hehe

Even yun masama ang inom pero sobrang kulit naman kami, ok na din yun.

I know, sa dami ng sessions ko kulang tong blog na to, I just want to look back one moment in my life that I was kinda crazy and lazy. This is one of them. hehe

Uuwi kang madaling araw, lasing.. Di makagisng ng maayos, papasok ka sa school wasak. Usapang lasing pa rin pag pasaok. hehe Mga ganun ba, kakamiss din. Make no mistake, kahit sabi nun iba malakas ako uminom, nah. May iba na barkada ko, uwak pa ang lalapit sa kanila. hehe

Well, these days, talagang occassional na lang ang inom, mayaya lang, 2 bottles lang ok na.

Unlike dati, ay naku.. 2 bottles, first and last bottle, not including yun gitna. hehehe

Or the famous ponkana gin mix, sinabi ko okay na yan Igz!! Pag gising, ayun naglilinis na ko ng kalat sa carpet. hehe

Letche, ang buhay ay bilog, parang bote ng alak. hehe

Ngayon ko lang naalala, tig tatlo nga pala kami.

realizations (part 10)

151. I did have a great start this year!

152. The my fave Adam Sandler film is not 50 first dates or even click. hehe The Wedding Singer.

153. that my fave tagalog movie, well matagal ko na alam, batch 81!!!

154. sometimes, I need to slow down naman. Ika nga ni Counselor, I'm kinda impulsive. hehe

155. letting your mind free, many good ideas, or goals are better than you thought. Gulo no? hehe

156. I'm inclined to watch movies. Sayang kasi yun dinownload ko. Di ko pa sila napapanood. hehe

157. As of now, mukhang ok naman ang buhay. Medyo nasusunod ang plan. hehe

158. After the great start, ayun, medyo nadapa. hehe

159. I really need to upgrade my desktop..

160. siyempre nerbiyoso ako, natanto ko din na masyado ako worry. hehe

161. Leave the worriness to him.. :)

162. it's time to hunt na!!! let's dig. hehe

163. nahanap ko yun gusto gawin to solve these problems and may plan na din. Sugod kasi ng sugod...

164. not too late to recover, and to improve. :)

165. namiss ko na ang console games. Mura nga ps3, mahal naman yun TV!!!! HDTV!! hehe

166. namiss ko din ang NBA live, pero matry nga ang NBA 2k10. hehe

167. it's really hard to please anybody, unless you are shot in the foot.

168. I should travel at least once this year.

169. nice number. hehe

170. I'm naughty but nice. :)

Legion of Doom

May tagteam champions dati sa WWF na pangalan eh Legion of Doom. Astig ang mga costume tapos pulbos ang kalaban!!! Nice face paint as well. hehe

Oh well, this is not about them. It is about one of the unforgettable experience we had ng CRAP about watching a forgettable movie. Hehe

Saturday, well, tahimik lang ako sa shop, waiting na malakas na benta, tumawag si Rheg about watching Avatar na I gave up. hehe Kasi naman di ba, from xmas then sometime, ayun ayoko ko na. hehe However, si Igz gusto pa din makanood ng Avatar. I know, Avatar is good, especially with the special effects and well, in 3D. Si Doc, ayun, day off sa shift, ok din daw.

Kaso mukhang ok naman lahat sa Avatar. The problem, siyempre, mahal. hehe

So sara ng shop maaga, meet Doc, tapos uwi muna. Ok, naman yun charger na binili ni Doc. Tapos dumating na si Rheg, pero wala pa yun promotor. hehehe

We decided to got at Trinoma, thinking na may 2D or mura yun 3D ng Avatar. Habang nasa jeep kami, panay update si Igz, nasa ganyan na daw siya, pero ika nga ni Rheg, magaling magdrowing. Peace! hehe

Then, nakarating na Trinoma, ayun, akyat sa cinemas agad. Looked at Avatar and it's full. Called Igz, told him about it. Siyempre, check namin kung ano pa available na movie, sabi ko nga daybreakers eh, medyo maganda kasi review. Second choice Legion, which is new, no reviews yet pero naging ok siya sa kin dahil sa trailer, astig yun story, parang graphic novel.

Yun eh kung ganun pa din pag napanood na. hehe Nakarating na si Igz, pero tambay muna sa timezone, kaunting Street Fighter IV, hehe tapos deretcho na sa Legion.

Dapat tinapos ko na lang yun Street Fighter IV. hehe

Ah, oo nakakain pala kami sa Jollibee with the very large fries daw. Anak ng tokwa, eh medium lang yun sa BK eh. hehe

Sana di na lang kami nagtipid for Jollibee, at nanood na lang for Avatar sa IMAX. hehe

Ayun, Legion started, well, I don't really want to explain the crap, oh sorry the plot. That's why wala siyang post for a review.

God lost hope in humanity so he wants us well dead. Sent all his angels to wipe us out, but only one angel doesn't want to do that. That angel is Michael, played by Paul Bettany. Then, the only way to save humanity? A child will be born to save us. Well, Michael knows where to find the child, in a simple diner, situated in a desert.

Actually, maganda ang cast. You have Dennis Quaid who is the bothersome dad. hehe Tapos, may chick din, well, yun bida na girl chick din. Well, other cast as well, ok din but patay naman agad. hehe Oh, lalo na si Tyrese, damn, minsan ka na lang tatawa, ayun, patay din. hehe Waahhh. The first scenes, lalo na with the foul mouthed granny, ok naman, pero nun tumagal na, ayun, inaantok na ko. Lalo na sa emo moments, tawag nga ni Igz, bad timing. Crap. hehe

Oh, yun second bida? Sabi he's from the fast and furious 3, well, nothing notable. Redneck dude. Damn. hehe

Well, at the end, baby was born, humanity saved for a while then Angels ayos na tapos yun lang.

Sometimes, trailers, make the movie look good, marketing perhaps. It did great on this one. hehe I mean, galing ng trailer tapos pag nood mo, ayun, sa huli, inaantok ako, parang di matapos yun gulo. Walang development.

I did watch Sherlock Holmes, it's fantastic, pero yun first impression ko, inantok ako. But, last film showing naman kasi yun, saka pagod na ko. Makulit kasi si becky. hehe Tapos, eto, last film showing na, olats pa. Great!!!

Good thing, kasama ko tong CRAP, kasi kung hindi, damn, I'm cursing myself. I should've watch Avatar even I won't eat for a day. hehe Or daybreakers which has a good at least review. Or kahit Sherlock na lang ulit, kasi magaling talaga si Robert Downey. hehe

Good thing talaga, the worst movie we watched made it fun kasi kasama ko sila. Asaran, kulitan and well, ditching this movie off!!!!

Looking back that day, mukhang it started for a string of unlucky until today. I'm glad tapos na yun at look forward watching a good movie.

Man, I'll just watch fast and furious again than this one. hehe O siguro, zombieland ulit, pambawi. hehe Ewan ko sa tatlo.

Ah!!! Para makabawi, I definitely, encourage you to watch Moon (2009), Sam Rockwell. Galing, kahit maiksi, and low budget, definitely one of the best sci-fi films recently, decade. All time? Yah. hehe Yun ang good trailer, kala mo yun, pero pag pinanood mo, wrong. hehehe Iba pala yun plot.

Yun ginawa ko after watching Legion.

Ganoon din ang feeling yun mga nanood, jam packed eh. Mga di nakapasok sa Avatar. hehe

Like us..

The Doc

"Bro, tagal ng sukli ha!!!" (Sukli sa jeep)

May kwento dati kasi si Counselor ata, di nabigay un 50 cents na sukli, naglisik na yun mata ni Doc, pero napigil naman. Matagal na yun. Hehe Pero wag ka, kahit ganyan siya dati, at di namana masyado ngayon, eh very dependable, saka masarap kasama, lalo na pag bumanat ng joke!!! Bwahahaha

He's no Doogie Howser MD. hehe And definitely, he's definitely not the dude really, to mess with. Ito talaga ang silent but deadly type. hehe

HS days, well, di kami close like with Chef. Actually, mas close sila ni Chef. hehe That time, parang pinsan pa lang kasi same middle name and last name, pero eventually, naging brothers ang dating nila.

Well, first impression ko sa kanya, ayun scared ako. hehe At that time, S3 siya sa CAT and well, I'm a boyscout. hehe Nilait lait pa naman kami noon. Saka lalo na sa CAT, naku, mas scary ata siya sa Corps Commander (JC peace! hehe) Pero di naman all through out scary siya, malalapitan naman siya. Magaling sa basketball at maasahan naman sa projects din.

Ah!! Promotor din ng. hehehe Sila Counselor na nakakaalam nun. hehe

College, well dun na kami naging close kasi naman UST kami, except yun isa diyan nag taft. hehe Lalo na sa ROTC, counter days pare!!!! Magaling sa 4-6 itong doc na to, saka dun ata ako naging addict sa computer games, lalo na nun battle realms!!! hehe

Pag sunday, kita kits sa silent drill, tapos kaunting eskapo, yun na, counter na!! Balik, pag patapos na ang training. hehe

Ah, siyempre, sa aming apat ata, siya matalino bro at matapang din. Bio kinuha niya, I mean kaya ko, pero di ko kakayanin nag magmemorize ng scientific names. hehe Letche. ROTC, dapat nga pwede siya mag PMA or officer kaso well, due to circumstances, masaya naman siya sa Silent drill, magaling humawak ng rifle. hehe At well, sa ngayon, tunay na rifle at pistol, may samurai pa.

Well, siyempre ah may naging connection din kami ni Doc at alam niya kung ano yun. hehehe

After college, even nagkaroon siya ng troubles, eh nakagraduate naman siya ng masaya. Before taking up Med, ayun talagang ROTC siya, reserve officer! Those military pics of his, are true. You don't really want to mess with him. hehe

Kakatawa yun nag outbound siya, yun mga stories niya. Then, ayun he took up med sa UE, rose up to the challenges and now, he graduated. I sorely missed the party which I regretted doing to, I still owe him big time.

Pero masasabi ko malayo na narating nito ni Doc. He is very successful and his chosen field, at I wish he will pass the board and put a DR. in his name!!!

At yes, eto talaga, Guru talaga to si Doc. Sa pag ibig, magaling to. hehe Lalo na nung times kaming tatlo eh loveless, siya, very much in love. Hahaha Until now naman with Tin and I wish for the very best for both of you. A lovely doctor couple.

Sa sobrang guru nito, sumasamba kaming tatlo. Malupit!!!

Wag lang sa joke. hehe

Marami na siya nagawa sa aming apat, lalo na sa aming health. For me nga, marami na siya nagagawa, lalo na sa Tito ko. Nakakahiya na nga sa kanya, but good thing, he just do his job and put a smile while he's doing it. Thanks a lot Doc.

Until now, I never thought I'll be close to him. But now, I'm glad that I knew him and be proud to say that he's my personal doctor. hehe

Doctor not only for health, but for emotionally (at least pag serious, serious din ang sagot, di gaya ng iba diyan. hehe) and friendship as well.

Ah, sundalo din pala to!!! No need for further explanation. hehe Sir, basta pag may umaway ha, iligpit mo na. hehe Hindi naman, as a soldier, very loyal and responsible. Truth to his duty.

Akalain mo sundalo na, doctor pa... Guru talaga.

Good luck doc at wish you all the success!!!

I hope I can see him at his own doctor's office one day, asking for a professional check up...

The Counselor

"Bro, pakiss nga. Love you pare!"

Letche. hehe Ang sweet ng bro kong to. hehe May pagkabadet talaga itong si Rheg. Ganun ang text niya lagi. Bwiset. hehe Ah, ang guidance counselor pala. He did use what he learned from the Green Archers, BS Psych. Alam ko marami dapat ako ilagay dito, kasi sa dami ng name niya sa mga blogs ko, eh wala naman siya description or even introduction. Bwahaha

Well, parang si Chef, di ko din siya barkada way back HS. For your information, siya ang isa sa mga malakas mangasar sa kin nung HS. Kaya di naman masyado close sa ungas na to. hehe Pero mantakin mo, kahit ganun siya, subject excellence naman, kasama din sa nangraid ng All girls schools, at makulit! hehe Ah, oo nga pala, medyo sumabit sa isang test dati. hehe

Ah magaling sa basketball din to, di buwakaw. hehe

Pero that time, naisip ko na masarap naman siya kasama. At napatunayan yan nung dumating ang college. I mean, not my whole college damn life, kasi like I said sa part ni Chef eh, may mga times nagkakasama na kami, lalo na sa inuman. Kasama pa yun dating friend namin, ka poker namin. hehe Anyway, that time ah yes, how can I forget the referral days. From Mann, to some friends, until now. hehe However, salamat naman sa kanya, at least I knew some chicks. hehe

Wag kayo maniniwala na chickboy ako kasi sabi niya. Siya ang tanungin niyo!!! Patay ka Rheg!! hehe Pero ngayon, ah di na. Lover boy ang ungas. hehe

Ah ang isa pang inaasar ako niyan na lagi ako well, some of it masama ang feeling ko pero most of it, natatawa ako. Ahas daw ako. Bwahahaha

Long story, but to make it short, nung nakita ko daw siya that time, parang ang feeling niya, bakit daw siya dumating. hehehe Pero pare, ang totoo nun, wala lang, gusto ko lang siya imeet. Nothing else.

As time goes by, after college days, well that was the time that started to get close. Brothers to be exact. And he started to get big. hehehe

Paano, nakondisyon na nung college, eh grabe uminom. hehe Pero ngayon, humina na, kailangan eh. hehe

I mean, from days of his first job, second job, until became, surprise! Guidance Counselor. hehe

From first GF, to the girl that really made him cry, I mean, cry (di ko nakita kasi busy ako nun, at ang asar niya sa kin nun, "pagod". hehe) and until a girl that not only made him happy, but found a new life.

From booze days, his infamous birthday because I finally met Mann, hehehe, tambayan sa Kabab, Chef's house

raid, and my favorite the Sagada Adventure. Ah siyempre, the batangas trip, the best din. Kaso, single siya nun. hehe Parehas kami...

From my heartbreaks, he's there. Broken days, he's also there, and pag wala ako magulo at lalo siya walang magulo sa buhay, ako ang ginugulo, nandun siya. hehehe Nandun kami.

You're right, parang brokeback to. Kaya may picture kami sa sagada parang ganun. Bwahahaha

Pero, he's definitely a special person to me. Like Chef, definitely Brother. A close one..

Nakakatuwa nga, na kahit araw araw, or everytime we meet, inaasar niya ko, di ako nagagalit kasi, well dun ako nagiging masaya at FYI, totoo yun ibang asar niya sa kin. hehehe Pero nagulat ako na one time, nagalit ako sa kanya kasi sa sobrang asar niya sa kin. Siguro sobrang bad trip ako nun, tapos nasabay lang siya siguro. hehe Wala sa kin yun bro, kasi ikaw naman yun. Kung baga, di mo pa nasasabi, forgiven ka na. hehe Kasi alam ko na, kilala na kita.

Except for Khaye na ayaw niya ng ganun sa kin. hehehe

He's indeed a counselor, kahit most of the time, dinadaan niya sa tawa or kalokohan ang advice, may time naman na serious siya. At that hits the target most of the time.

Nahawa ata ako na pagiging psych niya, kasi sa mga advices ko sa ibang friends ko, eh some of them, sa kanya ko nakuha. hehe Thanks to him.

Pero kulang sa sessions niya, transparency, kasi yun iba, naman, di serious. hehe I mean compare to a real psychologist. I've done that kasi before, yun ang malaking comparison, but not a big letdown naman. Ok lang yun, just a feedback. Ewan ko kung babasahin niya itong part na to. Bwahahaha

Thanks bro for everything you've done to me. I know, marami na tayo pinagdaanan 4 pero kaw eh laging yun nagpapaalala sa min magmeet, kahit simple lang, ok na sayo yun, we appreciate that.

Saka yun mga natulong mo sa min, thanks bro! hehe

Parang siya si Bradley Cooper sa The Hangover. hehe Kala ko ako yun, pero narealize ko, bagay si Counselor sa papel na yun, never lose hope for the friendship, kaso di mataba is Bradley Cooper eh, gwapo. hehe Si Allen ka naman, yun magaling sa poker. hehe

Pare, kaw talaga yun gummybear, kasi nandiyan ka lagi para magpasaya. Except for the gay part. hehe

Pero nahahalata kasi bro, minsan tago mo naman. Bwahahaha

I know medyo mahaba na to at dalawang araw ko na iniisip kung ano pa masusulat ko, but I believe, I've no more words to say..

Because it will be endless, it will take forever. hehe

That's how I love this bro. Yuck. hehe

I just wish, for you... Choose whatever makes you happy.. and I hope, that Khaye will be the one, makes you live happily forever. I believe, she is the one for you bro..

Please, stick with her and make her happy!!

At magpamacho ka na. Hahaha

Letche. Peste ka talaga. Hayop ka. Basta kung ano yun problema mo, nandito lang kami. Nandito lang ako.

Pero wag ka lang magtatanong sa kin kung alam mo na yun sagot...

Joke lang becky. hehe

I hope I can see him at that Trooper, driving around with his one simple happy family...

The Chef

"Bro, parang di ko na kaya yun pilesen".

Hehehe The best magluto, lalo na pag crepe ang pinaguusapan, or pasta, oh eto pa, I don't like tuna unless siya magluluto. Ganun kagaling maluto si Igz.hehe The Chef... At siyempre, malakas uminom.. Dati. Like yun birthday niya 2 years ago, draft beer ng pilesen, canister, di namin naubos nun birthday niya, naubos ng isang linggo. Wasakan talaga. hehe Saka yun ibang painom the best talaga, di lang chef to, bartender. hehe Maganda din ang banyo! haha Dun kasi ako nagsusuka pag sobrang wasak..

Ah yun, galing bora si Chef today. hehe Anyhow, way back HS days eh di naman siya kaclose ko, I mean, he's in a different circle of friends, actually kasama niya si Doc nun. Si Counselor eh ibang friends din ang kasama. For short, di pa kami close nun. hehe Pero dati pa lang sabi nila magaling na magluto at may talent.

So, fast forward to college, eh dun na nagsimula ang pagiging Chef legend. He took HRM sa Educ building, and yes we had some booze nights, kasi naman may time na nagkikita kami, especially sila doc. hehe Ah yes, counter and battle realms days. Di ko lang nakasama sa ROTC takas days. hehe

However, maasahan naman siya, lalo na eto talaga, pag tambayan sa kanila!!! hehe Good booze, great food, and place, damn, kung pwede lang sa sala na lang kami matulog!!! hehe

As a brother, best friend? He's keeping my sanity up. Tama yun mga advices niya, kahit ako pasaway. Oh, he's one of the dudes you don't mess with it. hehe Now these days, he is kinda artistic I can say, especially sa camera, following the foot steps of Ivan. hehe Masarap siya kasama, lalo na sa banat at laglagan. Hahahaha

Pero ang the best sa kanya, magluto, grabe, ang sarap!!! I hope the best for him na makapagtayo siya ng sarili niyang restaurant. Or bar, with stage kasi he can sing with the band. Wonderful person, emotional yet fun to be with. Except, masyado magaling sa drowing!!! Bwahahaha Peace bro!!

Marami na siya natulong sa kin, well, especially those days na seem to be bleak for me pero ayun nadadala sa bahay nila at naiinom, minsan nakakatawag pa ng uwak at wasak. Hehe He never know it, pero iba talaga pagnasa turf niya, those problems seems wither away. I'm glad I've known him better, and I get close to him and now, I understand him better.

Kahit dati malakas mangasar yan pero wala yun sa kin, brother talaga na turing ko sa kanya..

A big brother. Tawag nga ni Algerro sa kanya, Big Boy. hehehe

I do love him and thanks for everything, made me strong at tough situations and I don't know if I was able to help him a lot, kasi alam ko may atraso ako sa kanya, lalo na sa sala at CR nila. hahaha

I'm glad now, he's now stable, growing and yes, he is in love kay Mommy!!! hehe I wish that he'll reach the dream he wants to be, settle down and lead a happy life. At sana wag na siya susuntok ng pader. Please. hehe Your stronger as well bro so sana tuloy tuloy lang yan ha.

Peace bro!! Pero, kaw pa din ang Chef namin!!!

Sana, makatikim kami ng Crepe mo ulit saka pasta, or even yun tahong. Or may fave drink (di ko lang alam sa dalawang ungas. hehe) Tanqueray!!!!

I hope I can see him dress in a Chef uniform...

Mind got Blind

For the past days, yes, I know I can write more but unfortunately, I didn't. hehe The reason, first, I thought I will be not busy this past week but oh well, I got busier. hehe Second, I have many thoughts coming on my mind together thoughts that I should write here. The thoughts for my blog were erased. I forgot already what to write. hehe

However, some of it will show later. I'll dig into it.

For the past days, I was wondering around like crazy. Getting scolded here and there. Being lazy on things I should do, that's why I hate new year resolutions. Hehe Some plans change as well, that's why on everything I will do, always have Plans A and B, and C.

But in the end, well, they don't work. I'll spend time contemplating and realizing, I must work hard and move on. Do another plan that will make me happy. hehe

Everything is pretty normal these days, except, for the interviews part. I haven't applied one job for the longest time, and well, it felt great. It's just sad no news yet.

I'll get there, no problem.

I got some films, more are old, few are new. Yes, I haven't watch them all, even at my side. Even I already put them in the DVD. I should do like "watch a movie in one day ritual". hehe

I hope I can have my groove back in writing. Get out from the funk as other term states. I do have some, but that is for other days, a good start.

Oh, one thing surprised me. I never thought I type 50wpm with 90% accuracy. Wow. hehe Thanks to blogging, not only imagination inside me kinda improve, but the typing part as well. Can I have a job that all I do is type and earn big? hehe

Computer programming was my poison, and never learned it. That's the job I am looking forward to, but oh well. I did not pass com sci. Great!

Ah, nah I am not feeling bad or emotional again, I just have fun looking those days except for the low sales.

Another sign that my writing is going back.

Better? Same old, same old...

talo na, natalo pa.

After 4 rounds of hard hitting action sa Street Fighter 4 arcade, eh ayun, I felt drained. hehe Kala ko makakatsamba pa ko sa kalaban ng isang round, kaso ayun bugbog. Lintek. hehe Tapos I tried playing marvel vs. capcom 2, eh nasa stage 6 na ko, biglang may nagchallenge!! Peste naman, kaso ayun, mas magaling pala. Iron Man lang ang gamit vs. sa tatlo kong characters. Leche. hehe Waaah!!! I gave up my timezone card and left the place..

Hay, anong araw yun.. Sabi ko, parang sobrang malas ko ata. hehe Some days, you will think and hope, ends fast. Mahina ang benta, tapos when you do something that will make you happy or productive, also fails. Hehe Waaaah!!!!

Actually, parang marami ang ganun araw. Whoa. Pero, yun mga masasayang araw naman, sobra saya. Walang talo.

This year naman may mga ganun, more happy days than gloomy days. Of course, may araw pa din na nakakapagod. hehe

Damn, I should practice more sa arcade. Unlike those project 7 days, may arcade sa palengke na pwede ka maaddict. hehe Thanks to playstation, desktops, internet, those small arcade shops are no more. Yun mga 5 pesos lang ang token...

Doon naman papasok ang hope, may bukas pa naman. May round 2 pa naman, or may 23 pesos pa para makabawi sa Street Fighter 4. hehe I believe that to achieve something, or your goals, or even happiness, you will be unlucky, or in your worst situation sometimes, then you will rise up and do your best.

Your best to recover.

At sana magawa ko yun. hehe

Well, looking back today, malas lang talaga...

unplanned 9

Yes, I have some delays for posting due to schedule conflicts and some errands, especially that "clearance", such a headache for Christ sakes. hehe

While looking at these lines, I wondered why a priest wrote this very emotional poem. I was surprised that it is a priest who wrote this. Sorry, I can't really type the special characters for this one because I don't know how. hehe This is spanish yet no special letter characters. Translate it by your self, or better yet, wait for the other one in tagalog.

I saw this in a very unusual place...

Ah, the usual news will come later, I just need to get my groove back to writing after these crazy days. hehe

Al perderte yo a ti, tu y yo hemos perdido:

Yo, porque tu eras lo que yo mas amaba, y tu, porque yo era el que te amaba mas.

Pero de nosotros dos, tu pierdes mas que yo:

porque yo podre ama a otras como te amaba a ti, pero a ti nadie te amara como te amaba yo.

Very straight forward.

( )

nothing to write....

nothing to say...

just for fun, I can't just write anything...

You may write I guess for today.. That will be wonderful!

Anything and whatever..

Thanks!!!

Suntory Time

As you see, for the last 3 posts, I always mention Lost in Translation, which is a movie. When I watched the Oscars some year ago, I believe 2004 as imdb.com states, I was shocked that Bill Murray nominated for Best Actor. I am not against him, but for a great comedian like him getting nominated for Best Actor, is a great feat. I remembered the title of the film and as years go by, and a start of 2010, I watched at last, a fantastic film...

The gist: Washed up actor Bob Harris went to Japan for a commercial shoot for a whisky which is stated above. He is paid $2 million dollars for that part by the way, and while staying in Japan, he had some problems. Literally, language barrier, hmmmm mostly the language barrier and yes, since he went to Japan only missing his son's birthday and getting over his nagging wife, he felt bored. He actually wants to go home after the photo shoot. hehe However, he can't, spends some time in the bar and while spending some time, a girl came into the scene. Charlotte is a wife of a photographer. Young couple for 2 years, went to Japan because of her husband photo work as well, but with a band. She is in a pro-bono basis, meaning bum. hehe Damn good looking and innocent and well, she is kinda bored as well staying in Japan because when she wakes up, her husband leaves for work. At night, well, John snoores a lot. hehe Damn John, he is just so workaholic.

So, she also spends sometime, kill some time at the hotel's bar, and met Bob. No greetings, yet at the first meet, it's like casual conversation then as days go by, and spending more time at the bar, they kinda like each others company. Going to a bar, restaurant, hospital, karaoke bar and even a strip club. hehe Along their misadventures, they develop a certain bond, or a relationship that they seem to be comfortable. The boundary between friendship and romantic relationship. Anyway, as Bob leaves Japan, he said something to Charlotte and she became somewhat very happy. Oh yes, there is a goodbye kiss. hehe They seem to be happy yet sad as well because they will be apart. Then the song Just Like Honey kicks in. hehe

The Boos: The character of Giovanni Ribisi, John, damn if I have a great and hot wife under Charlotte, I won't treat her like that. Hehe I mean nothing against Ribisi, but only the character he portrayed. The screenplay maybe made John like that. hehe Nothing much dialogue in this one, not that a big flaw, but it will be better if Sofia added more dialogue. It's a short film, I hope Sofia was able to add more scenes, like between Bob and Charlotte. However, it's not also bothers the whole film, just a feedback. Anna Faris, well, just 2 scenes for her. hehe

The Goods: The 2 main characters. Bob is really for Bill Murray. Period. hehe I agree with Sofia that if Bill Murray did not do this role, then I don't think anybody can do it unless it's Bill. Scarlett Johansson I thought before watching this film, doesn't have any other roles than being so sexy and acting doesn't really step up. That changed when I finished watching it. hehe She is damn beautiful in this film not only because she wears panties almost all her scenes, hehe. But the role is fit for her. Innocent, confused, simply nice lady, I thought she is kinda pregnant because of her tummy but well, overall, she is great. Maybe she did not go to the gym at that time. hehe I like the scenes of them together, especially the scene where they just laying at the bed, talking about life and the last scene, very sweet. Simply sweet. If I'm Bob, I'll do that as well.hehe Unfortunately, Bill did not go home an Oscar for this magnificent performance.

The comedy as well, the japanese actors, done their part, especially for the lady who went to Bob's room just rip her stocking. Hahaha very funny.. Charlie Brown as well very good. hehe The japanese friend dude. Even the commercial shoot with the director, that was cleverly funny.

The setting, Tokyo, Japan, perfect for the plot of the movie. Another reason why I should work hard just to go to Japan. hehe And I need to learn Japanese. I'm tired watching channel 13 for a tour in Japan. hehe

The screenplay!!!! That's why it won an Oscar. The plot is not complicated, however, the complication only came at the feelings of the 2 characters. I mean at the end, they knew that love is growing between them, it's just it will stop because of their lives. It's an open ending. hehe However, as the story goes, the development of such feeling is the interesting part. Going to such places, talking about each other lives and how to deal with it and other things. The pace of the film as well is really great, slow yet it never leaves you behind because of the actors and fun story. The friendship of the two people also show interest. I mean at first, you will drawn on how they become friends due to their boring lives. hehe Simply love the story.

The music, a great film should also have a great soundtrack. Of course, Air done a good job but what I like is the song Just like Honey from Jesus and Mary Chain. It sets the mood for the film, especially the last scene. A perfect song. Like A shape in my heart in Leon the professional. hehe The songs used here, great, even the karaoke scene as well. Oh I love how Charlotte sang there. hehe Love the wig.

The verdict: I haven't watch love/romantic films for a long time, well I did watch the Notebook but it's sad. Somewhere in time, also sad. hehe But this one, even it doesn't have a really good ending, after watching it, I am not only laughing hard, but it did put a smile in my face. Very fun movie, serious fun, happy movie. Definitely a keep. One of my favorite movies of all time. That's how good it is, for me.

Just like Honey.

unplanned 8

Happy new year ulit!!!! Waaah.. Kapagod ang mga unang araw ng January, sobrang pagod, medyo delay ang posting. hehe Anyway, wala pa naman bago. Marami lang talaga akong gagawin this year. Sa shop, house, life and other things.

Ah, I watched lost in translation, very good movie, and ayun downloaded some stuff pa. hehe I have already plans for these coming months and if that work, well, good!!! Sana lang mangyari, pag hindi, patay tayo diyan.hehe

Many good films pala will be coming this week, sherlock holmes, and zombieland!!! Napanood ko na yun zombieland. hehe Galing ni Woody talaga dun. Sherlock Holmes, a lock in critics and fans, a different take daw. Macheck nga. hehe Avatar, I gave up on that since xmas. hehe

Some of my friends well, having a difficult time now, kahit new year. Pero I hope maging ok naman sila. Ah, birthday pala ni Tin, dapat tong si Doc, since walang maisip na gift, date na lang kaya sila? hehe However, happy birthday Tin!!

Makakapahinga naman ako this week, because of one of my plans of this year eh, going back to the ladder and the same time, may pwesto. Ang tanong lang, kayanin ko kaya? hehe Pero ang gusto ko lang talaga is to just return to the ladder and back from scratch. Tignan natin kung kaya, paghindi, edi choose. hehe Or give it away. Come what may..

About the races, sa biggest loser race, mukhang ako panalo. Bwahahaha paano ba naman, di na ko masyado kumakain eh. 2012 race, ah, mukhang aabot sa 2012 to kasi wala ata balak sa min apat going in a relationship. hehe I'm not sure with Ivan, galing barko, and going to europe so dapat paguwi mayrun na to. hehe Me? I'm not in a hurry. hehe

Medyo may kaba ako for tomorrow, but parang wala. hehe Labo noh? The reason is I may flunk at interviews, I may sound rusty but well, experience and confidence are my advantages. I guess. hehe

Ano pa, ayun more rest sana kaso saka na, need to finish the task first. It's like a tagline from Inglorious Basterds, a basterd's work is never done. hehe

When it will be done?

I listen to.. (disk 4)

After falling in love, actually I am literally "Lost in Translation", love that movie. Bill Murray at it's best, and Scarlett Johansson is also at it's best. hehe Except for Anna Faris and Giovanni Ribisi, forget them, but I won't really forget this movie. Damn great, another reason why I should go to japan. hehe

I was carried away but one thing is good at the film as well, is the soundtrack. Speaking of soundtrack, let's add some songs here. hehe

1. Just Like Honey (Jesus and Mary chain) - Yes, Sofia always use Air for her films, at least for two films, but this song really fits to it. Damn. hehe It used in the movie and the trailer, simply great, describes the vibe of the movie especially at the last scene. Nothing else to say, I'm lost. :)

2. Build (the housemartins) - One of a new wave classic coming from not a one hit wonder band.

3. When you come back to me (World Party) - From Reality Bites soundtrack which I always forget to download. hehe I don't need to explain why it is one of my favorite songs..

4. Us (Sugar Hiccup) - I thought Five Years is good, but this one is better.

5. Won't get fooled again (The Who) - I discovered this from CSI: Miami and well, damn good rock song.. Yeah!!

6. Maybe (Up Dharma Down) - Short yet strong song from them. I love the music video as well.

7. All these things that I've done (The Killers) - Yeah, since they are coming here at Jan. 31 and I don't have a ticket (poor me..), I can say this is my fave song from them. Great fit for the Nike commercial. hehe

8. Ain't over till it's over (Lenny Kravitz) - Fave song from him. Others thought it was a girl who sang it. hehe

9. Come away with me (Norah Jones) - Fave song from Norah and one of my fave love songs. I love it so much that well, I offered this to somebody.

10. Rapture (Blondie) - I was surprised when I discovered this song in MTV, damn chick rapping good. hehe This is so old school rap pioneer.

11. Izzo (Jay Z) - Yes, I listen to rap/hip hop music and yes, one of the reason is this damn n*gga. hehe

12. With or without you (U2) I always sing this song in karaoke nights. Simply lovely song.

Till Next CD.

old year passed by

As I read almost all the blogs here, they like looking back at the year well 09. Me? Nah. Done is done and time to recover at do the things I want to do and I can do.

Ayoko na isulat ulit yun mga naisulat na.hehehe

This year, may mga bagay na kala ko di gagawin eh mukhang kailangan ko na gawin. Abangan kung ano mga yun. hehe

Basta important is leave everything what happened last year, do great things this year and move on. Even para may sipon ata ko. What a way to start this year! hehe

I just hope and pray na sana ok lahat ng tao. Family, Friends, and all the people on earth, have found what will make each one of us happy. Despite struggles, or problems, or sickness, never lose hope and continue enjoying life.

Sana matupad ang mga resolutions ha. Me? I don't make one, kasi di natutupad eh. hehe Pero I make plans kasi, or goals at least for this coming year. Sana maachieve ko, small goals lang naman. Step by step.

Well, medyo relax naman ang mind ko at the start of the year, but ayun medyo mahina shop today kasi wala naman tao, sana by monday lumakas na ang shop!!!! But I mean everyday I have this big stress in mind, before. Thinking of those things left and right, whether its good or bad. More of them are bad. Hehe However, I was able at least some of them, I don't think it anymore, I just think what I can do better. For myself and second for others.

I hope for the very best of us and next year, when I write this again, same day, same time, less worries, more fun in life.

Let's start that on Monday.

A breath of rejuvenation from me.

It's like after college graduation. Back to start.

2010 will be facing two people!!! Me and the other me...
