unplanned 30

Tama na muna ang pagkabanal. hehe

Well, great that NBA is back.. Siyempre..

West teams, my fave are OKC at DAL pa din. East teams, MIA and CHI.. That's it, 66 game schedule fine, not much player movements at importante sa lahat, odds ah sorry, maglaro na. =)

Great K-CON, hoping to be back next year.

I just got back from St. James bazaar, congrats kay Raims.. Wow, it paid off, I hope those new contacts you got will work for you.

Ah, may mga namove na naman ako na blogs, pero sure na next month. hehe

For the past weeks, great na ok naman ako in health.. Yun nga lang tuloy ang inom ng iron.. Ah, sa shop, nakakabawi na malamang kasi holidays na. Maawa naman sila no. hehe Work? Good naman kaso well... After everything is very fine at work.. Bad happens.. =(

Naisip ko nga yun K-CON parang iba yun nangyari sa kin ha, baliktad.. But well, I can't blame him.. I treat it as a test.. Breakthrough, or a pause perhaps. What I feel in this coming holidays.. Quite gloomy for me. But I know, he will just provide. =) Always.

Yeah, speaking of bad news, no one won the race to 2012 contest. Damn, 3 years ang bilis ha.. Kakain na naman kami sa ngayon na mahal na Mister Kabab. hehe

Ah yes, may mga firm decisions na din ako for next year. I just hope na maayos na at higit sa lahat, it's time to do this for myself. hehe Change for the better, alam ko lagi ko sinusulat to pero malamang next year, kailangan na talaga.

I want to thank pala ang mga nagcomment sa blogs ko.. Yun lang, thanks for reading. That will be the best compliment, just reading it. Comment, added bonus. =)

I was kind of lost or in a blank state, after ng hardwork at sobrang saya sa work, well.. Good things won't last for long.. For me, sayang lang kasi. Kung kailan madali, next to none and less stress work at masaya, and my plan.. Ganun na lang.. Grabe... The full reaction? Next month's entry. hehe Sorry.

For now, I'll just enjoy kahit papaano ang holidays until January.. Do the hard work..

I haven't watch Breaking Dawn which I don't have to. I want to watch, hmmmm sayang yun Cinemanila, nandun yun mga trip ko panoorin from Sleeping Beauty, 13 assassins ulit to Wu Xia. Bwisit. hehe Ah, this holidays, siguro yun AiAi and Vic combo. hahaha

Yeah, ah.. Nah, tama na ang boy pick up.. hehe I hope na din, maayos ang mga xmas party ha.. Unlike last year, lalo na yun ibang xmas party diyan.. Kahit upuan sana meron kami at di lang gulay at kanin lang ang handa. hehe

Oh boy, for now I have mixed emotions. Maybe I just need to be free a while. Damn, planado na eh..

By the way, I think KC should talk to Carmina. hehe

Maybe I just need to sleep... Pray na din..

He might have better plans for me.

classics: Tetsuo the Iron Man

I can't believe this will be a cult classic. Even there are many japanese films that can be an instant classic or perhaps worth to keep as a classic such as Kurosawa's films.. Some of them, although bizaare or shock driven to your senses.. Made it classic.. In my top 10 of Japanese films, most of them directed by present and living directors. Some of course from Akira and one from Mifune.. This one well.. Suprisingly, included.. At least top 5..

A man who is well, found of metal sticking to his legs, and after he done it, he saw maggots on it due to infection perhaps, run crazy and unfortunately got hit by a car. The driver of the car, well, unfortunately speaking to his girlfriend about what happened and they agreed to forget about it. However, strange things happened to the dude, as he going to work, he saw a woman transforming to a metal lady, showing some scraps on it and try to catch the dude.. Woman was killed because the dude also showing some signs that he is transforming to a metal dude. As minutes and hours goes by, as the dude went home, well, every part of his body is transforming then he called his lovely girlfriend. Then, girlfriend arrives, meet the dude, and yes, girlfriend is asking what's happening.. All of the sudden..

Dude's body began to transform to a metal freak monster, including well.. that part.. Girlfriend obliged and she was killed eventually but revives into the same metal chick but due to the dude's new power, he was able to destroy it. But there was another being shown after the death of the girlfriend. Through the TV, the being revealed as the metal fetish, the one was killed due to the car accident. Dude was surprised and well, got angry because the metal dude wants to kill him off as a revenge. The dude rushed outside and find this metal dude.. They fought in the metal factory, as the original metal dude killing the other dude, he wants to absorb him for another power but suprisingly, the other dude became powerful as well.. Finishing the original dude, and as he going to celebrate, something weird happened..

In the end, they became one big metal monster, promising to kill all and don't care if they rust, as long they will dominate the world because of this immense power they have. Eventually, they loved each other for the metal power.. Sound gayish? But the looks of it, nah.. That kind of monster.. Yikes!


Yes, that film for me, indeed a cult classic. One of the best films made not only from Japan.. But in history! I know many might not agree. Of course, let's go to the minor flaws of the film. First is the dialogue, I mean, the script is not really long or many due to the shouting, cursing but sentences or conversation? Not really much.. I mean they did explain it at the end, but that is so long.. Lastly, hmmmmm although many happened or it was delivered great in a span of time, I hope it was a longer film. It did not even reach 85 minutes and with all those fast pacing effect, yeah.. I hope there was a little bit of story like the metal fetish dude, or even the simple dude.. But yeah, they go right away to the action!!!!!!!!!

Ah yes, don't be surprised, they did not say any names in the film. I don't even know or even in imdb, there is no name tetsuo but what I guessed is tetsuo, the metal addicted dude. But anyway..

Fun parts!!!!!!!!!!

One is the soundtrack, that sound, damn.. I should find it, punk electronic sound that really fits in the movie.. Namely, the intro piece of the movie. Another is well, actors, suprisingly, if you watched Ichi the Killer, Jiji.. The old man detective who pawned the 2 main characters, was the director of this film.. He is the metal fetish dude. Wow, I just noticed it when I stared his face, very young dude. At that time. hehe I mean, great acting for him, and for the other dude, yes, especially his evolution from a simple salaryman to a metal maniac monster. Even his girlfriend, quite kinky but well she done her part. hehe

One interesting factor is well since the director is also a good photographer.. The theme black and white really fitted into the story. Especially the last parts which I thought, black and white is good for the metal theme story. Another thing, yes, even it has a simple story.. Wow, it's a good written one, not complicated, not too simple.. Just right with it's theme. Actually, it may give some lessons as well.. Maybe one time in our history, we might be eaten or be dependent so much with metal. Not literally the metal but things around us, it may consume us in the future.. So, that's my take about it. But simply great written story, because with it, the pace is very fast and I never got bored even a single second.

The greatest factor I like this story.. The special effects. You might wonder, it's look like a HS project but damn.. It worked effectively.. I don't think any other stop motion films delivered good results than this film.. The chases scene, the transformation as well, it looks like not edited, like cut scenes. The transformation scenes look like real.. Hmmmm yeah, using more of recycled metal, meaning even with a very low budget, Shinya made some substitute to make the effects work through recycling, stop motion and yeah.. The black and white film. Shinya made a great job of doing this film, I can't believe the experience when I watched this.. Will definitely wants you more of it.. A very experimental tight budget film that works. I did not see any other film in this decade.. Maybe others, like District 9, Cloverfield or Blair Witch perhaps.. But this one.. Experiment works.

Although the 2 sequels, I haven't watch it but it has bad reviews about it, especially part 3.. But I'm not going to go for them..

This one is enough already.. No need for those sequels. Bad to the metal!!!!!!!! yeah. Even, please no remakes for this movie. Leave it alone.

Instant classic. Watch it. =)

Grand Feast

Oh God, why I'm walking from Taft to CCP.. Geez.. I'm in a hurry as well..

I was sweating hard and really in a hurry to get there on time. I hope the mass is delayed.. Whoa.. But oh well, when I reached the opening of CCP open grounds, it was already the homily.. Damn I missed the important part.

However, after looking for my seat with my lovely CG, there I found a sleep after a long 40 minute walk.

It is the Christ the King Celebration last Sunday, so the K-CON is also following the liturgical year of the Catholic Church. Next year, I believe that will be the same thing. Looking forward to that!

Anyway, after a great homily by the bishop.. It was actually a well ordered mass, even with a lot of people spanning the whole open grounds, it was not disorganized.. After that spiritually filled mass..

Everybody is waiting for the Grand Feast!!! Yehey.. However, some commercials first.

Sing and dance by the Awesome Kids, great number and worship from the Feast builders.. K5 never stop to dance and party!

Some raffle draws for Ipad, free books and yes, trip to HK.. With Disney trip.. Hay.. Unfortunately, no one in our CG got lucky.

Of course, after all of it, everybody is waiting Bro Bo. Even me, as a first time attendee in K-CON and this is like the culminating activity for the past 3 days. It started and yes, the presence of him and the word of God came. It was magnificent.. Blessed..

Suprising though, his talk is about the start of a new series about Transformed. He started the first part of the series.. Quite lucky!!! Teaching how to think like Him. Wow, simple words, but it's hard to think and do.. Be like him, and definitely to follow his will for us. Of course, the difference of thinking like him, and you as a person to think of. That is hard to do.. Indeed.

After that talk, worship, singing.. I did not dance though, at the first part, I was thinking I hope something different will happen. I asked that because every week, or Sunday, this is what we do. The only difference is we are a lot! But at the second half, something is different this time.. Especially when we instructed to look up and close our eyes.. It's free feeling.. Nothing bothering you and yes, light showing upon me.. A different light. I prayed and hope, after this Grand Feast, what I do, is for the glory of God. Him.. Jesus will be always through my side for this long journey.. Holy Spirit will give strength and wisdom to do such feat in this ironic life..

I thanked him for everything.. Past, present and future of me.. I know I've done bad decisions.. Or I let down of him through poor actions.. But as I hear the wind coming through me.. I felt in my heart, I heard something, it is never too late. I thought I was punished for such actions or deeds, but God for me. Although Bro Bo says God doesn't punish.. For me, God is forgiving.. He does punish or penalize you but in the end.. He wants you a better person.. A better follower of Him. I loved him.. And I hope his love will endure for all of us.. All of us even in different faith.. Save and guide us to the right path.

After that moment.. I was struck and fully understand that day.. Even problems are like a speck of your shirt.. Just wash it off even that problem was quite big. Or quite small.. Think like him and all be shown in the right way. =)

It was a blessed evening and we had some photographs from different feast builders.. From 4 of the K5 and yes, one of my inspirations, idol!! Bro. George and I was able to talk to him a bit, say thank you and I said, I also gone through it.. The only difference is I'm still single and searching perhaps. Damn I hope Jo Ivan is there, Bro. Alvin is his mirror. hehe

Everything I learned for that 3 days, from me a regular didache reader, now part of the Feast.. Is marvelous. I just hope I can continue this all through in the service of all. For my Family, Friends, CG and of course.. The magnificent one.. God. The redeemer Jesus Christ. The fire in our faith, making some things, important things possible, Holy Spirit.

Well, was there any effects after that 3 day journey? Indeed.. There are some bad news and good news... One thing is for sure, I know what my heart says.. I know understand what He says.. All I need to do, is to do it. =)

Ah yes, for the CG, thanks for coming, see you next year!!! Good luck for those who wants to volunteer for K-CON.. hehe Me? not yet.. I'll see..

Even right now, quite confused and lost.. Due to what's happening now.. Now I'm thinking.. Maybe this is his breakthrough for me, we'll see. =)

From Glory to Glory.

K-CON Singles

wake up around 6am and left house around 7am.. Geez, I don't want to be late.. But after that fun filled Friday, goes Saturday with some of my CG friends.. I choose this stream, because simply I'm single.. Wanting to discover more not only how to get into a new relationship but about life itself a single one.

It's in a different venue, at Aliw theater but when I got there, it was lining up.. Wow.. I wish I could stay for a while and sleep but I can't.. After one hour, due to some techinical delays.. We went in!! With the red carpet style and says hollywood style with gowns and some set up.. I was able to sit near at the stage and yes, sleep for a while. I have somebody beside me, but left.. I have no other people besides me.. Geez..

It started with a worship with Enchong look alike Bro. Didoy which is a good musical director, then the host.. Mayi, quite perky and fun! Quite good looking as well. Wow. They had a great band as well.

Singles stream started with Raoul Roncal, he has a very long introduction but simply he's a theo prof in ADMU. By the way, the program gone smoothly even a long delay, in Oscars style. With many look alikes and even us, needed to name somebody you look like. Damn.. You know Who am I in those lookalikes..

As the first talk started, even others quite fell asleep.. Me I was awake because of it's topic. Christian on Call.. Meaning do you have really a calling from God. He simply discussed that by the 2 famous stories in the bible. One is the rich young man who cannot leave everything to God because he has many possessions. The other one is the Yes of Mary, which the angel appeared to her and said yes to give birth for our Savior Jesus Christ.

The talk gave details whether you can really serve God in your situation and another thing is if what you do gives you life, happines or purpose. That gave me a sign again about my plans for next year. Geez.. He ain't gonna stop telling me that.

It was like theo class perhaps but very fulfilling perhaps.. Although the pace is quite slow and boring at some parts, but well.. For me, that's fine.. I like listening in a class with a good prof in front of you.


Second talk was about, oh well.. If you see the PLDT DSL commercial, the one who plays the mom, well, Sis Rissa has a simply beautiful face and everything about her. Bro. George, I saw him in the CMMA one night and he is indeed short at stage but big at heart serving God. Great thing, they are both together in one stage. Talking about is anybody out there? Indeed.. There is and how to get one.. They gave interesting tips by reading some letters. I was enjoying that segment, especially Bro. George story about with so many things to consider before having a girlfriend. That is so like me before.. It was hard but well, I still had a relationship but not really in my standards.. I found a girl which I felt more than my standards except from some qualities. Oh well..

Sis Rissa part, she spoke about the factors to think of and yes, her story as well about this topic. She had a difficult one because she decided to get married in a late age but lucky for her and God's grace, everything was given to her at the right time. I had fun when she said that in her dating stage before, she said looking somebody to be married not a boyfriend. Yikes if you're the guy, you gotta think twice.

That topic alone, enlighthen me that day.. Well said by both of them, I enjoyed it, I felt what they said, is true and I'm doing for sometime, it's just.. No new partner.. A lady can enlighthen my life again.. Sigh..

But never give up on that perhaps.

Third talk, I was suprised, it's the sweet couple of Maribel and Dr. Allan Dionisio. And their topic is the same that I listened in the Singles Night out! Only shorter. Interesting though to remember their topics and tips.. It's just that, I hope they discussed other topics. It was fun though.. And yeah, in the future if I'll get married, it's better to attend their marriage seminar.. I recommend their love institute.. I had the right theory about meeting partners.. Collect and collect then select! But seriously, it doesn't work all the time.

The last one, from Bro. Randy, he is damn funny.. His topic was all bout blessing in work. I mean Friday it was discussed but that is with leaders.. This one simplifying, work is a blessing.. Thanking God you have work.. Anointed to have work which is blessing to others. Although it was short due to time, I am quite struck about that anointing part.. Damn.. I'm blessed with this work I have and I should cherish it while it lasts or even in my future career.. Another sign indeed.

Surprise, after that talk! Bro Bo visited and gave some words about the K-CON and as a bonus, he answered some questions.. For singles only!! There was one question he answered that really.. This is not only a coincidence but a eye opener for me.. I was shocked.. I can't believe.. Well, it happened to him.. That's all.

After a long day, then it ended with worship and some aura coming to me at that time, maybe I was sleepy but it energized me, because of the talk today and ended with a prayer..

I met with the CG mates and ended up again, but no so late, but near midnight.. This time.. I had better sleep and rest..

I'm looking forward next year, not Singles anymore, but Faith or Inner healing perhaps.. All I can say, that this Singles stream gave an educational insight about my status. I hope I can change that status sometime.. Not too soon or not too late.. =)

By the way, great stream and I had lot of fun!!! Congrats to the organizers of the Single Stream. Congrats to my college, Tin!! For winning being look alike.. Eva Mendes! Wow..

And yes, the signs.. Definitely pointing me to that direction. It's a long journey.


K-CON Free concert

After the leadership conference, of course.. There was a free concert. Actually at that time, I'm just waiting for a text from my closest friends but well, she was not available at that time.

I decided to go with April and enjoy the concert, besides it's free and it has a good lineup of performers. Even I have so many things to do, why not enjoy sometime!

One hour passed with all the pushing and confusion about the lines outside the hall, well.. We went in and quite lucky we can go to the previous seating in the leadership conference. However, the usher wants us to go closer, then why not? We are in middle and more closer at the stage.

Then the concert started and yes, surprise! JB magician is back! This time, more longer routine and fun magic.. I had some great laughs at that one. Then, he instilled reflections in his magic, which is true. Great thing about that performance, well, it was not boring.. It was fun all the time! Great thing to start the concert.

After that, well I forgot but correct me if I'm quite wrong. The performers were K5.. Brothers Obet, Alvin, Jon, Arun, and Adrian.. Beatles style! By the way.. Sad news, no Arnold Clavio. Damn. K5 did a great job, especially when they put their wigs. I was laughing and had fun.. However, damn beatles songs.. I don't know most of their songs. Geez.. But yeah, not bad for them..

4 sisters arise after that, Cercado Sisters is the name of the group and yes they are sisters. They sang some pop songs which for me, I don't really listen to. But the crowd had fun.. Great group and I can say, they can perform individually.. Definitely and I am thinking, their parents are quite lucky.. Having 4 children well, they are now ladies perform good. Maybe they want to stick together to avoid rivalry perhaps.. I can say, they can have each of them.. A career.. Vocals are good, they have the moves. The looks as well.. I thought the one who is the youngest, is the one, the eldest of the group. Great! I think I'll going to The Feast QC to see them as part of Music Ministry. Forget PICC. =)

Surprise, the next performer is not in the program.. Actually she is supposed to be in the single parents stream but long and behold, Ai-Ai came out! Wow. That's free for you. This part of the concert I can say, I laughed the hardest because of her stand up jokes and how she performs. Indeed, she is talented, for me, hands down, an icon.. I think, no lady comedian can really surpass her especially in this industry... They are some who are trying, but well.. She is uncomparable.. I think I'll watch the Enteng ng Ina Mo movie in MMFF.. Vic and AiAi in one movie. Epic!

After that raunchy and funny performance, Top Suzara is the name of the dude in freestyle band. I just known that while I'm reading the booklet. He wrote one of my fave OPM songs. Before I let you go.. Hay... Sigh.

The first song, I did not like it.. I even asked April, what is the name of the song after he sang it.

Second song until the end.. It was freestyle days.. Yihee!!!!!!!!!!! Damn, I hate those songs.. But it was fun and even it's almost 10pm, wow.. I was alive!!! Its just that first song.. He should sang other pop songs.. But great artist, I don't know why he went solo? Hmmmmm

Next one, well.. They marched the stage wearing their yellow shirt says 25th anniversary. Bukas Palad group well, I can say.. That is the group for weddings! I mean a great choir which can combine in a resounding voice, that's it!! Great and how they work together, it's simply great. Hmmmmm, very interesting group. Although they did not sing any pop songs, more on inspirational songs, I was not bored. There are many nice looking gals in that group..

Anyway, next one.. This should worth looking at.. Barbie. I can't believe well, she is working alone, of course in her 3 member band but yes, she is the only one famous. Damn, can't take my eyes out from her. Can't you believe she is married and I think has a kid or two, but for short, she's a mom! Still rocking hard and great guitar playing. Wow, and she has a praise album, I mean spiritual album.. Damn.. Why some ladies when became older, they became more beautiful. Just a thought.

The sad part of her, well, she only sang 3 songs and the set up is longer than she was playing in the stage. But great band she has, from the girl drummer and mohawk bassist.

Then, after that, some worship with K5 and Bro. Bo.. I think Bro. Bo should, sing all the time. Just a feedback.. =)

I was lucky being watched that concert.. And more blessed because it's free.. Even I ended up at home.. 1am. Whew..

Thank God for Friday.


K-CON Leadership


That just gave me, around well, less than 20 hours of sleep in 3 days..

Around less than 3 hours for all the travelling and preparation for those 3 days..

However, 1 thing is for sure.. It gave me and all of us, 1 glorious gathering for God!

Receiving Jesus guiding grace! Blessings from the Holy Spirit!

The light shines upon us in our darkest times... All revealed in his Glory!

Wayback 2009, I did buy a ticket for this event, but due to the place that I'm going to set in which was General Admission space, geez.. I changed my mind and did not come at that Conference.. But I promised one day, I'll definitely go to this Kerygma Conference. Besides, even I read Didicahe everyday, I think it's is still better to see Bro. Bo and other writers/sharers in Didache in person.

Thanks to the Feast, and CG, my dream of going to the conference came true! Buying the early bird tickets then getting a free shirt and yeah.. I know it's worth to wait!!! Oh God, I can't believe I'll be going to the Conference.. At last.

After my work Thursday night, I went home early to prepare for Friday's conference.. Leadership seminar. Well, even yes, I am a owner/manager in my small shop and yes, a worker in 24/7, maybe the notion of buying for Leadership seminar for additional knowledge or I'm thinking some signs as well..

Of course, all of us can be a leader but how? How to be a good leader? The signs that I'm looking is for my future decisions.. I don't how or when I'm going to learn it but I am hoping I'll find it.

Damn, my usual sickness, falling asleep syndrome.. Struck me at 11am and I forgot to do my routine for Friday so, I woke up around 5:30am and finish the errands for the shop and hope I won't be late.

I was not late and I am quite very early.. Ate at KFC and still thinking what to expect in the conference. I wished, it won't be boring like the previous conference I've been. Specifically.. College days..

After eating good at KFC and it's already 7:30am, I went to PICC and get ready for the conference. Good thing there is a kit with lots of advertising stuff.. A free book and book marks.. Magazine and yes, calendar and pen. Great!

I expected there will be a delay at this rate.. The hall is not yet filled but there are many patrons still coming in. Techinical crew are going nuts because the stage and other equipment still not yet set up.

Suprise came and April is my seatmate.. So, I won't be bored and the same time, fell asleep again!

April told me that the ticket says it is the number besides me.. I don't know if it's luck or coincidence.

Anyway, as we talk, around 9am.. The Leadership conference started already!!!! Yehey.. It started with prayer and worship and some important introduction about the day's event.

First speaker was Bro Pio Espa�ol, which is the executive director of LOJ.. Quite interesting about his talk because about God's calling to Leadership. He left his work, a very high position in SMC to serve LOJ. Although it was not easy for him because of his dues, payments, family needs.. He trusted Him to lead his life..

Indeed it was worth the sacrifice.. Now, he is indeed happy, especially how his family grown until now. He thought some interesting points, especially whether you want to prioritize in life. I mean not only serving Him, but if you other things to think about that you want to do, then think about it.

Second talk, well, it's Anthony Pangilinan. At first when you look at him, my first impression is well.. He looks quite boring and not interested to give a talk. Honestly, his appearance well.. Yeah, you'll not be enjoying. However, after his small intro, that is it!!!!!!!! Wow, truly a good motivational speaker. He talks about leadership qualities per se, but one quality he emphasize is really, a leader should know how to influence people.

Then, he discussed the 5 levels of leadership, not in detailed which I hope he put into, but gave general info about each level. Another thing is, whatever you're doing, if you want to be not only a leader but good at something.. You should have heart, passion, meaning loving what you do, no matter what. And the second one, is you should have the skill of doing such things. Or assigned job. That time, I was like, I don't have the first one.. Quite weird for me..

He is very funny especially when he talks about celebrities since he is a celebrity, and you know who are those celebrities.. I was laughing everytime he wants to poke somebody to your left and right. That was fun and his lines as well..

I can say, those first 2 talks, I can say it's worth it already.. Especially Anthony's part because it shares not only his life but also sharing what those experiences incorporate to his talk. Not only in simple terms, but in detail. I think I should enroll in his John Maxwell series.. Wow.. That's why I'm not suprised if he is doing many talks around here and abroad. He is great! Definitely, if you see his promotion about his courses or leadership series, it's worth it.

As I joking April of going home already, because of the 2 very inspirational talks, well.. We didn't go home of course. After worship, we ate to the expensive carinderia. Geez.. Pay more, you get less food.. Great thing I ate so much at breakfast.


After the lunch break, 3rd talk came and it's about finding joy at work. Being a leader at work perhaps, being discussed by Bro. Jon Escoto. Well, I remember and read the manual, it's glory at work. The topic was simple but it gave an insight that you should be very blessed with the work you have. It is not only for yourself but it's a blessing for others. I did feel that, especially what I'm doing right now at my work. My work not only helping or enjoying myself but helping as well, especially to my dear parents.

That leads to another talk, the 4th one, which is The Soul Leader by Jo Ivan's look alike, ah sorry, it's Bro. Alvin Barcelona. As talented he is, he started with playing drums and sort of sounds, continously.. It's like giving life to the crowd, yes at that time.. I'm quite sleepy already.. It's afternoon and yes, it's cold inside the PICC.

The talk was about, as being a leader, you should have a soul to instill to your followers or colleague. It teaches about having a good relationships to your colleagues or peers such as professional and personal relationships. He shares as well, with those relationships, colleagues should be happy even you're present at work or organization, or even you're not there all the time. If you're not present, meaning, you should able to delegate greatly to your other peers so the chain of command or even the aura of the leader will be still there at your group.

It was short but very lively at that part.

Then there was a short entertainment by JB the magician which gives another energy to the crowd. Fortunately, I did not volunteer. Nice! It was fun though..

Lastly, Bro. Bo, came in and give a talk about what it takes to use or to have a power of a Leader. Actually, one strucks me at his talk is, a leader should not give up on improving his group or organization or anything you put up. Accept failures, challenges and still of course, humble yourself. The best example? How he grow LOJ for what is it now. From a dwindling group 5 years ago, to a growing family until now. He shared the pains and how the Feast was set up through advices from different leaders.. I was surprised, that almost the well known charismastic leaders, he came to them for help. Wow, that shows a true leader who wants improvement not for himself, but for LOJ. Damn, I cannot even do that in my shop.

Anyway, after that short talk.. Insipring and a great one.. It leads to some ministry and worship time and ends the conference with a lot of wisdom of becoming a true Leader. I can say, and always they say, all of us are leaders at its own right, the only difference is, it's how you show of you are a Leader. How you influence people.. How you lead them to the right path.

I can say, yes.. After Anthony's talk, that's it.. It's damn worth it, but I'm not saying I disregard the other speakers, it's just he's talk is very different from the other speakers. I hope next year, they can invite other industry leaders or experts when it comes to this topic. I hope they do.

Well, but wait there's more! Best things in life, some of them are free..

The next event, we are quite lucky to watch.


Caring Group

We were having fun earlier because of that stupid but fun commerical of one famous coffee brand... Grabe with emotions pa ha. hehe

This year, I met new set of friends, at not from work, at definitely not from the schools I enrolled. =) Not even my kapitbahay or acquaintances, FB friends or even multiply.. How about the dying friendster? Nah, di ko na siya binubuksan..

I met these interesting people to this somewhat group, called caring group. Ah, siya yung pantapat sa evangelization ng other churches.. Sample eh yun sa NSOLL, na I got into once pero sobrang serious and they discussed it in a murky way.. Quite depressing perhaps.. One time eh I'm out..

Quite after that, years perhaps and I was invited to the Feast by my best friend.. Which I'll share it later.. =) After the Feast, I go sa aming CG, tawag namin. It is a group of individuals which shares what happened sa buhay in a week, then share din kung ano effect ng talk sa aming buhay.. And kung may ishare na problema na pwede itulong na group eh kasama na din.. Tapos prayer intentions na din, wishes.. Counselling pala, and most of all, fun!!!! Saka Q&A na din for some topics na kailangan ng clarifications..

Actually, di naman siya requirement but Bro Bo says, try to join one, eh kami ni Rheg looking at the list, and we saw a singles caring group. Yes, there is a theme or common interest kind of thing sa every caring group. I want to join sana sa Businessman/Entrep, or Anime.. Or IT sana.. Kaso all of them, after 2nd session.. Kakatamad na! hehe Then we saw na mayroon for after 1st session under a certain April Di�o, which at that time, wala na kaming clue pero after 1st session eh. Sign na kami and the rest, pretty well blessed.

At the first meeting, ahmmmm nawawala kami at di namin alam san kami, then ayun.. Biglang may mga naghahanap din under her name, so kami naman ni bes eh usap sa kanila.. Then all of the sudden, there is this lady quite young, advising us meeting in her own CG sa labas ng reception hall.. With the other members.. So, ayun.. Pwesto na at every Sunday.. The Feast won't be complete, without this great CG.. A company of souls searching for answers.. Or souls who are looking a place to rest for a while..

A group of souls thristing of serving God. How to do it or even how to enrich this spiritual life other than listening to the Feast. Besides, we are made to serve others. God. Love as well in the Glory of Him. =)

Ah, no.. Even kami ay halos single.. Ah yes, may mga couples din kami, like BF and GF kaso considered pa din na single sila, di pa pwede ata sa couples CG. hehe

Ah, what I like sa CG is I was able to meet different kinds of people. From a simple worker, to an Account manager.. Others naman, simple corporate employee.. Banker, Auditor, BPO slaves. hehe Counselor, Engineers, Writers.. Admin, and other professionals din, at my businessmen din.. Kulang na lang politician. hehe


But almost all of us, status eh Single. For me, at first, wala naman ako ineexpect masyado. Siguro, isa lang.. Maiba naman ang ginagawa ko sa buhay and to meet other people of God. Or if possible, other poeple na din, especially who needs help.. Parang vocation na din..

As Sundays came and gone.. May mga problems din kami naencounter. Minsan nga nagkataon malungkot lahat.. Or minsan masaya din lahat. Pero isa sigurado, everytime kami magkikita.. Sigurado lahat stressed sa mga ginagawa namin in personal lives. hehe

Pero as time goes by, we are getting closer as activities we do.. The advices we give each other, the help and support and most of all, the reflections and prayers we do to overcome these difficulties. At ang pinakafavorite ko, since I want to really.. Serve God in other ways, like outreach and service.. The activities we've done, sobrang nakakatulong sa min, to realize not only how blessed we are, but how much needed to work for to serve others. Meaning, God's calling to bring more people to gather his harvest.. Yes, bring more people na din sa The Feast. hehe

Activities like visiting orphanages.. Doing social work sa Gawad Kalinga.. Helping other organizations na din or sama na sa ibang CG.. Ang dami na namin ginawa.. Kahit nakakapagod at minsan nakakainis due to the situation, eh God's will prevails.

After the activities, tulog na lang katapat at pahinga. hahaha

Siguro sa lahat ng ginawa namin.. Actually lahat nagustuhan ko, pero yun pinakagusto ko.. Hmmmm sa December ko na lang sabihin.. hehe And 2nd eh, Grace to be Born activity namin kasi talagang sumaya ang mga mothers and unwanted children dun nun nagvisit kami. Third is, yun sa Priest retreat house! Ah, hindi pala, sa He Cares activity namin, kasi nageffort naman ako.. Dami kong dala. hahaha

Ah mayrun pa yun Singles night out.. Actually ayoko ko nun.. Ayoko nun kinanta ko. . =)

But anyway.. Kahit minsan gusto ko magpahinga muna ng Sunday due to the works I'm doing everyday.. One of the reasons na pumupunta pa din ako every Sunday is to meet always this CG. Tamang tama naman talaga yun name na Caring Group kasi talagang nag cacare kami sa isa't isa. Naks!

Siguro.. Isa lang yun medyo ayoko o minsan kakatamad, honestly.. The long hours in our CG.. Mas mahaba pa yun CG kaysa sa The Feast mismo.. Hahaha minsan umaabot pa kami ng 3rd session because of it. Pero because of God's grace, nasanay na kami, at mantakin mo, may mga bago na kaming kasama at natiyagaan na kami. Hahaha

That's why.. I always say to my CG, I'm looking forward every Sunday, to see them and have fun together.. Yehey!!

I'm not sure, maybe one day, nothing stays forever naman.. But for sure, what we're building will be beneficial in time, God's time.. Friendships build in this session really changed me, to do more.. And be more flexible.. Kala ko versatile or flexible na ko, pero nadiscover ko dito, kailangan todo pa ang pagiging flexibile and understanding. =)

Thanks to my CG and I hope, always.. Whatever happens, wherever we go, we continue take care each other.. God bless always to all of us, and continue kung kahit magkaiba ng CG or other groups.. Or ministries, don't forget, we continue to serve God for his glory here on earth. Always...

I want to thank, of course, our lovely CG Head.. April for leading us, of course kahit minsan wala ka.. hehe Pero most of the time, nandito ka sa min to lead us to the right path and of course encouraging us to give help, serve and praise God through our group. Pasensya ka na sa amin kung minsan magulo kami or pasaway but we thank you for always guiding us. Especially now, dumadami na kami, we wish kaya mo pa din mag lead sa min.. Don't worry, if you need help, we are always here. =)

Sa old CG kina Owell, Mel, Cathy, Glenn, Lovers namely Kris and Jordan.. Bevs 1, Ven hehe Francis at Cris!!! Mga bro at sis.. Wala lang. Hehe Joke ah, sana tuloy tuloy lang magkita or hindi, keep in touch and keep the faith for God and to our Group ha.. Tama na muna paghoholdup para sa libre. hehe

Sa mga wala sa old CG, pwede pa kayo join ulit. hehe

Sa mga bagong CG, pasensya na sa min ha. hehe Pero let me tell you, you're in good group, I mean great group! Di lang magaling ang CG head namin, pati ang members ha. =) Kaya sana maenjoy niyo company namin, wag masawa sa kakapunta sa CG namin.. At feeling ko, baka mas magaling pa kayo sa min lalo na pag may activities na kami. hehe Have fun and kung may problems, don't be shy to ask help from us, wag lang sa pera.

Punta kayo every Sunday sana for our CG.


Tomorrow, it will be a glorious day, as we, one CG thanking God for all the blessings he gave us because of what we did and celebrating siyempre the closeness we have already. We hope we continue this through your guidance God and yes, I know we are already many..

We need to bring more for you. =)


flashbacks: Wanbol


I had other nicknames in the past.. Tentay, JR, hmmmm well, recently Pnoy, Fred, Pedong, Alfred of course, one time eh Alf, kapangalan ng Alien character sa isang TV show dati.. All of them, siyempre kinaya ko..

Unfortunately, one really not stands out for me, or even my Dad calls it, I'm quite demotivated.. Those childhood years.. It's Wanbol. Yeah, I cannot believe I still remember that name. Sa other classmates, Bukol. Great.

Why is that? Alam naman ng lahat na meron ako physical defect before. My Mom would explain na maliit lang dati hanggang sa lumaki but tumigil ng laki pero ang tigas. I felt that when I was around 5 years old, medyo flat na pabilog sa ulo at biglang, yes, from Elementary, HS and yes, can't you believe in College, pero mabuti di na nun college... Lahat sabihin na nila pero eto, parang sometimes, di ko na kinaya..

There were attempts to remove this bump in my head, pero due to uncontrollable circumstances, troubles and everything, tumagal na tumagal.. At muntikan na kalimutan.. Until yeah, I went to UST and thinking I hope one day, wala na tong peste sa ulo ko..

Mahirap talaga, kasi with this bump, nauuntog ako sa jeep, or masakit yun impact pag naaksidente kang nauntog sa pader or pinto.. At ang pinakamahirap talaga eh yun gel ng buhok ko.. Siyempre mahirap magpagupit.. Malaki kita sa kin ng gel companies before. Pero thankful ako sa US size gels, madami eh. hehe

Ayun, everyday I need to put a gel on my hair, kasi makikita yun bukol, and I cannot do other hairstyles kasi makikita. Gusto ko nga yun 90's Goma hairstyle version eh, kaso ayun di naman pwede. hehe Saka ang hirap magpakapal ng buhok.. Grabe, I mean, I need to cut my hair every at least 1-2 months kasi pag maaga, manipis agad ang buhok ko.. Hirap talaga.. Mabuti na lang magaling ako magsuklay and nasasabi ko na lang may bukol ako pagtinatanong eh bakit yun lagi gupit ko.. Then I explain, and they left dazed. hehe

The other and main disadvantage eh because of it, sobrang mahiyain ako.. From girls, public speaking excercise, even in plays, mabuti kung may hat ang character ko and other things. It really affected my personality before.. Low self esteem and not confident.. A really shy dork.

I cried sometimes I hope na wala na siya at mabuti di naman ako nagkasakit because of that kasi delikado, talagang nasa gitna siya ng ulo ko. Oh God..

Then after sometime, and approaching my last year in School, I don't know what I said pero parang one time, I asked Dad na kailan ba mawawala itong bukol ko.. Besides di naman deadly or serious kasi na CT Scan ako dati and it's not life threatning naman.. Sabi ni Dad, then patanggal naman. So I called Mom, asked some advice from her friend Doctor in surgery, asked for an Xray since nawala yun CT scan and that's it.. I cut my OJT short for a week, to go on and proceed for this life changing operation. I was nervous before kasi makikita ko na kalbo ako with that pathetic bukol .hehe Sabi kasi ng Doc, pwede din sila maggupit kaso baka panget sila mag gupit.

Then before the operation, that's it.. I looked myself to a mirror and there was the bump that I kept for decades and there is a smile on my face, after this day, no more Wanbol, or Bukol name for me!

The operation was done in UST siyempre discount kuno at Doctor gave me instructions on what will happen, after that.. I fell asleep. Almost an hour, ayon.. Nasa room na ko.. With a big bandage in my head na parang bombay.. Mom is beside me, and she is texting and yeah, I'm texting my classmates as well, CRAP and other friends.. They visited naman.. I'm surprised na nandun sila, from CRAP, 4BA1, yun mga Pre-Com dudes, ayun even number 3 and her best friend came in.. I was delighted although it was painful kasi nun nawala yun anesthesia.. Grabe sobrang sakit.. I was crying but well, it was tears for joy. =)

It was one of the happiest days in my life, and it somewhat kahit di ko nareach ang potential pero marami nagbago.. I was able to be more confident. Not shy anymore, lalo na sa Girls and evident naman di ba? hehe Then I was more outspoken kahit ngayon medyo tahimik pa din. At higit sa lahat, I was free from that monicker. No more that name and my old self. It peeled off my lesser self and began to reborn. It's like the butterfly going away from it's previous self, the cocoon..

I was free and I know it's quite late, but well, I have more time to make up. =)

Until now, even it was painful, one of the painful pasts. It really put a smile in my face and can't seem to imagine, why it took so long, even my doctor was quite surprised.

I was so happy that my grad pic, well, I'm bald already. Kalbo na!!!!!!!!!! Yeah.. No more makapal hair style!!!!!!! hehe

My scar pa naiwan and natanong ko sa doctor now kung pwede pa matubuan kasi natatanong sila kung bakit di ako magpakapal ulit ng buhok. I tried but that area talaga, wala na eh.. Doctor says, the only thing can be done is hair transplant. Sabi ko, di na! hehe

Marami na natulong sa kin yun being bald, no more gels.. Or rushing to comb my hair.. Yun na, except sa dandruff. hahaha Pero nawawala naman.. At presko ha..

One of the best birthday gifts given to me, kasi nangyari yun around June 3-4 of 2003.. Dermoid cyst ang biopsy and yes, I saw it, a big white lollipop.. Geez.. Ewwww. =) I hope to keep it, pero after seeing that in seconds. Tama na! haha

Well, I can say it helped me one thing. It is important to me because of that cyst.. The kindness I show, or humility and patience, dahil sa bukol na yun.. Parang naging foundation siya sa kin. I know sometime I'm still shy but not very often.. Perhaps shy pa din ako, pero other than that. I am still thankful for that bukol =) I believe kasi, kindness is shown not on how you are good looking and looks kind or good but, it's what you do and what you show or give to others.

8 years and counting.. Although physically marami pa ko kailangan ayusin or achieve, but important is my basis of confidence, or simply no shy type or naiilang na eh wala na..

Important is nahahawakan ko na yun ulo ko na walang sabit. =)



Doc Ian

When there was a time na as he helping my uncle at noong tinitignan ko siya, sabi ko.. Sobrang swerte ko na meron ako bro na maasahan not only in the field of Medicine, pero sa buhay.. Dedicated sa work and of course, di lang dun. As a friend, at may assistant pa siyang magaling, Doctor din. hehe

Kahit late at night na, at kailangan ng tulong, he share his expertise agad.. Wow.. =)

Honestly, I can't believe, to the other 3, siya yun di ko talaga expect na sobrang close kasi number 1, CAT, ako boy Scout lamang. hehe 2, back in HS, nakakatakot talaga siya, mas nakakatakot siya dati. Since officer and dreaming to be a soldier, siyempre, strict at matapang. Well, ngayon, matapang na lang. Oh ha! hehe

Lastly, well, matalino pa sakin.. Kahit anong talino ko ngayon bro, mas matalino ka na. hehe Geez.. Kahit ata maglaw ako no..

Anyway, pero all that change as time goes by at mga events na di ko akalain nangyari pa sa kanya kasi despite what's happening, tuloy pa din siya sa buhay and to finish studies. His love for family at friends, brods at sa CRAP, although not showy, pero talagang pag kailangan at willing siya.. He's there on time. =)

Sa tatlo, honestly, mas gusto ko siya magadvice kaysa yun dalawa, but sometimes lang.. Kasi if it's serious, serious din ang sagot, no holds barred straight to the point, no more interrogation kahit kaya niya.. Yun na.. Talagang gising ka na. hehe

At kala niyo yun na ha.. Eto ang pinakamalupit.. Pagdating sa Lady.. Hay, kahit sabihin ni Rheg o Igz ako eh choosy but may kilalang girls na medyo standard.. Etong Doc... Hay, luluhod kaming tatlo.. Matinik.. Ako na nagsasabi.. Grabe, kaw na!!!!!!!! Idol, Lord, Master.. Lahat na.. Teacher? hehe

Like sinasabi nun Raider sa Battle Realms, silent but deadly. hahahaha

Cari�oso kasi at mas proactive siya at marunong magalaga. Great example si Tin, tignan mo naman, strong ang relationship nila despite all odds, at eto na.. Opisyal na. =) Ingat lang sa tutok. hehe

Pero makikita mo naman not only sa girls pero sa ibang kabrod at kabatch niya, sobrang madaling kasi siyang lapitan. Maasahan talaga.

Although di naman siya perfect.. Especially sa ehem.. Mga banat.. Pero improving siya ngayon, dahil kay boy pick up. hehe At sa aming tatlo. Di ba Doc?

Saka yeah, I hope na maigi na din ang health. Given talaga stress in his line of work pero I hope, give time to heal yourself. =)

At isa pang maasahan sa kanya.. Mahilig mag medical mission, a great way to serve others. Siya na nga nagooffer minsan, pero don't worry Doc, pag sa group namin natuloy. Kaw na ang Doc namin. =) At ang sweet din niya kasi yun mga extra niya binibigay niya especially kung may extra pa siya.. At kusa yun.. Di pinipilit.

Mas may panalo to sa eleksyon kaysa yun isa diyan. hehe

Doc, alam ko na unti unti mo na nararating ang mga pangarap mo except for some minor problems, pero in the end. With your service, dedication and faith to your profession, God will bless you abundantly.. Kaya tuloy mo lang yan at malayo ang mararating mo.. Malay mo, di lang yan makuha mo in the future, more than you expected..

Unconsciously, even you missed mass or service kay God, as long you help people in need or in distress. God will reward you for that. In his time.. =)

Ah, yun sa banat at jokes, alam mo na eh.. Advice, nood ka lagi ng Eat Bulaga at Boy pick up. hehehe

We love you bro from CRAP, siyempre, panget naman kung RAP lang, kailangan may C. =)

CAP ok lang din, kahit wala yun R. bwahahahaha

Tama na, this is for you Doc. Pwede ba ko Secretary sa clinic mo in the near future? hehe

Doc, I have a problem.. My prescription ka ba for my problem..

My heart?

realizations (part 26)

449. for so long, I still afraid of riding a bike. hehe

450. parang sometimes, lumalabas ang pagiging gummybear.. Hay badet. hehe A form of expression kasi especially when you're environment is in this industry.. Gorah!!!

451. my sbarro calendar still set up at July.. Pathetic me. hehe

452. I thought my relationship with God is already close.. This year, I realize.. it should be improving, everytime.. Always..

453. facebook will give a hard time posting my blogs.. Tumbler anyone.. Or I will use the slow notes apps here.. Damn.

454. PBA will give me a great dose of fun this year.. Especially the teams are playing. Sayang yun barako bull. hehe ROS na ko!!!! Aces, well, babalik ako pag umayaos na kayo. hehe

455. bwisit, sa race to 2012, mag2012 na at ako pa din ang pinakalast nagupdate. Naman oh..

456. I met new and great friends, although not yet close pero we'll get there. Spiritually perhaps.

457. that yes, I got more than I expected kaso as usual, kapos. hahaha

458. with this situation, I hope you can buy more than 24 hours per day. hehe

459. to be become a peacemaker, natawa ako sa isang strategy.. Be foolish.. When I look back, oo nga no. hahaha

460. grabe, until now, ang sarap talaga ng Crepe ni Igz.. Paano pa kung talagang pang crepe yun presentation.. Kaw na bro!!!!!!

461. na tatalo pa kaya sa FB?

462. I hope magsurvive yun Multiply.

463. I'll see what I can do sa Tumbler.

464. ang bilis ng panahon, pupunta na naman ako sa St. James!!!! hehe

465. FTW webcast, ok naman pala si Jai Reyes.. hehe Natawa ako sa comment niya, I mean before he speaks about Gary David, "my first and last season..." hahaha Panalo!! Di pala siya maangas.

466. Sabagay, katabi naman niya yun dating manager niya sa HS. =) Not sure kung nagabot sila.

467. I can try AMD naman.. Hmmmm cheaper and same performance.

468. I am going to Samsung.. Due to curiosity of Android.. Besides, Nokia will be going to oblivion. hehe

469. Wow, sudden change of heart.. New pic at real name. Same block. hahaha

470. The last one.. Will be memorable.

unplanned 29

Yes, I can't believe this.. I have some changes in my plans lalo next year.. The theme or goal is still the same pero ayun.. Due to more misses and hits and wear off.. Ayun.. Parang papunta na ko dun.. Para matapos na.. Hulaan mo. hahaha

Anyway for now, I hope Pacman will win on Sunday.. I won't be suprised kung kaunti lang pupunta ng the Feast. hehe For now, ayun, I don't know kung may malas at sobrang dami na din na iniisip. Pero yun nga malaking change ang gagawin at hinahanda ko na sarili ko. Change of plans na din at yes, the goals for myself.

I believe with my whole faith.. Ito ang tama. Wow. hehe

Sana magenjoy naman kami sa outreach tomorrow at marami kaming maitulong o kahit papano magpasaya sa mga kids. =)

For the coming holidays, I don't know what to expect.. Well, strong sales.. Or better stats sa work at sana makapunta sa mga xmas Party. hehe For this month, ayun sana less work lang..

All of the sudden, which don't be surprised makikita to sa realizations, eh parang nagstop ako and think.. Kung san ako masaya, at dapat ano gawin not only for others pero sa kin din. The words of Raims that night, long time ago struck me.. Wow, oo nga.. Maybe I was too giving sa iba, pero ako, most of the time, I forgot myself.. Me..

While I am doing some usual stuff and when I feel down tired.. Those voices, or advices always coming at my back. It is some what called a light to my mind, heart, body, or even my soul.. For all these times, I know what I should first. What will make me happy.. The simple things and deeds. The hard work that I am aiming for..

The goals that I should for myself.. The things I can do for others and until which extent I can do. The pains I experienced which I already healed even in the midst of confusion or difficulties..

The lost time or opportunities that I can still achieve and there is still small time to go for it..

Indeed, after some time, I reached to the point of what is certain of me. The fullness of me.. The potential that I have which it is still in progress..

Definitely, I reached a point where.. I should be doing the right choices.. The right risks.. The right path to whatever success I want to reach..

Like someone said, God is with you in this journey and you should see the glory, whatever glory at the end of this long journey.

Well, na carried away ako from those statements ha.. Ano pa ba magagawa ko? hehe Nandito na eh.

If experience is a person, love it or hate it.. I love that person. =)

Long Awaited CREPE

The best crepe I ever tasted. The long wait is finally over, it's worth the wait. Partida budget na kami. hehehe At sobrang busog pa!!!!!!!

It was Sunday and at last, nagkita na ulit ang CRAP!!!!!!!!! Yeah boy!!!!! Actually di dapat eto ang post ko pero natutukan ako eh. hehe

Anyway, after ng the feast and feast sa Chic-boy Sta. Cruz branch which is the second best branch eh deretcho na kami nila Rheg kay Igz.. At ayun, kulitan na naman.. =) Si Doc, biglang napaalis ng maaga kasi kala niya 6pm pero ayun napaaga ang punta kay Igz. Si Igz, ayun pumayat, parang magkasing laki kami. Ok kasi ang diet namin, Stress. hehe Geez, we're killing ourselves everyday..

Si Rheg, after a long hiatus sa CG at the Feast eh ganun pa din. Sir pa din. hehe Pero siyempre may pinagdadaanan din pero jolly at happy pa din ang ungas. hahaha

Well, may balak pa kasi kumain pero sabi ko, ayoko ko na kasi sa sobrang dami ko kinain sa Chic-Boy eh di na ata kaya ng tiyan ko.. Pero pagnasa CRAP, di pwede ang no. Labo no?

So, after some debates at lokohan, ayun order na ng crispy pata. Ang sarap ng Crispy Pata na yun, at nakakagulat yun place na pinagbilan namin, I can't believe na bilihan pala yun ng crispy pata at matagal na siya.. Wow. hehe

400 was sulit, nanunuyot ang balat, sobrang lambot nun pata.. Wow, pwede siyang ipalit sa Lechon ni Elars. hehe After that, we went sa SaveMore to buy ingredients para sa Crepe.. Although apat lang kami, pero yun serving parang pang 8. hehe Sobrang dami.. And the bread Igz used is wheat pancake. Wow meron na pala ng ganun..

Then, ayun kainan, at kain pa din. Napasubo na din ako, wala naman ako choice. hehe At siyempre, while eating, may cooking the crepe na. hehe Grabe, sobrang dami namin napagusapan, I think kulang ang ilan oras for us.. Seriously, kailangan namin mag out of town.. Di ba?

Anyway, while doing that, siyempre etong si Sir may kausap so medyo busy din at that time.. John Lloyd kasi. hahaha

Then, ayun na, after some years passed.. White thick vanilla with around 4 layers of great pancake and caramel, lucious mix of sweetness and fluffy ness.. There you are, the great Crepe of Igz.. =) Magnificent... Although di talaga siya nadesign every layer, at fast yun presentation... 5 mins, ubos na. hehe

At least walang nagrereklamo ng separate plate. hahaha

Wow, at after that, well... Some serious talks about the future.. Sana good luck na lang sa aming apat.. Lalo na si Doc at Igz.. Sana tuloy niyo na ang gusto niyo ituloy at alam ko, yun na ang simula ng happiness niyo. Naks! =)

Eh kaming dalawa ni Rheg.. No comment. =)

Wait there's more!!! Nagyaya si Doc ng Starbucks, aba.. Dun pa napahaba ang usapan.. Talagang graduate na ata kami sa wasakan at uwakan days. hehe Retire na ata kami. Pero ok lang, simple things make us enjoy.. Enjoy the company of the four of us.

At yes, since may kukunin kay doc na mga gamit for the outreach, punta kami sa haws nila.. Kala ko sandali lang.. Yun pala, dun kami pinaka matagal. Peste kasing boy pick up at ang legendary game na Battle Realms. Si Igz, talagang gustong bumawi!!! hahaha

It was a fun filled night and it was worth it.. I wish it was longer pero di pwede.. But definitely, there will be a time in our precious lives that we will meet, not 3 times a year.. But maybe, not everyday, maybe more times in a year.. It is very special every time we meet.. Forgetting everything for a while and focus..

The bond we have! =)

Boy Pick-Up: Namimiss kita..
Nene B. (A hot Sam P): Bakit?
Boy Pick-Up: Thank You!

Bwisit.. hehe

Eto pa, not sure kung si Pushback or Sukli
Pushback: Kailan ba kitang pwedeng tubusin?
Nene B: Bakit?
Pushback: Kasi lumalaki na ang interes ko sayo!!!

Ayos!!! Di ka kaya masampal ng mga lines na to?

Oo nga pala, Igz, thanks sa advance gift mo!! Ginulat mo ko ha.. Bawi ako sa inyong tatlo. =)

The chismax of the night.. I can't believe may xmas party sa lugar na yun.. Wow. hehehe

Final Round: Mang Inasal Vs. Chic-Boy

The more, the many-er.. Ayos, yun pala, nagdagdag lang sila ng menu. Great help. hehe At pagtinignan yun menu, hmmmm parang may nilalaban kay Chic-Boy. More Menu, at halos sa mga dinagdag, parang mayroon si Chic-Boy. Eh sa sarap kaya, sino mas ok? hehe Alam na kung sino.. Kawawang Mang Inasal, chasing the race..

I was not paid by Chic-Boy. hehe Definitely and true. For this post, I want to thank Chic-Boy for posting my entry since last year, quite touching perhaps. =) Anyway..

After a year of eating at yes, kain pa din sa Chic-boy.. Nagbago na ang buhay ko. haha I mean, what fast food chain to eat into. The experience and everything into a Chic-Boy branch is definitely worth while. Alam mo naman kasi, masarap, sulit at ok ang service.. Nothing to ask for more or less.. More or less, ok na siya. hehe Sana yun Sarsi may bottomless na. Yun na lang idagdag nila. =)

Like I predicted before, after a year, wow, sobrang saya kasi marami na talaga ang Chic-Boy. At di naman ako binigo pag may nayaya pa ko na ibang tao to eat there and enjoy. Lalo na si Algerro, na sobrang adik na, dalawang ulam lagi ang order. hahaha Then marami pang nangyari na masaya dun, kita naman sa mga posts ko di ba?

Although some branches, di medyo ok, like in Morayta and Quiapo church, lahat naman sila isa ang sigurado. Masarap ang CB6!!!!!!!! Yeah.. Sa sobrang sarap, ayoko ko na laging yun ang order. One kasi highblood siya, at two, sigurado, kahit anong gawin ko unless sobrang dami ng kinain ko bago ako pumunta Chic-Boy.. Siguradong, limang kanin agad. Nagpapayat na ko no. hehe Kaya ginagawa ko, iba naman ang order. Pinakafave ko ibang order, bangus belly. Sobrang sulit, gawin kaya nilang unli rice din. Kasama nun steak. hehe

I can't believe, in more than a year, sobrang dami na nila and it made it's presence felt sa kalaban.. Because of that, some Mang Inasal Branches, desperate to match, buy 1 take 1.. Wow, sobrang threat ata sila. hehe Nah, di naman ako kumakain na sa Mang Inasal..

Speaking of Mang Inasal, ayun kumain na ko once di ba, at halo halo lang ang order, pathetic pa. Edi tama na, ayoko ko na talaga dun. Geez... Yes, like I predicted, it became worst... Not good, bad service, and yes, since the takeover, medyo bland ang taste.. Kulang na lang, they can put a jollibee menu there. hehe

Well, what else to say? Chic-boy is not over yet and I won't be surprised, in the future. Some tycoon will buy that chain for a whopping amount. Even buy the pier one business, if it's for sale perhaps. Ok lang kung hindi mabenta sa iba, basta same service, great food, kung broke magpier one o dencio's at kung gusto ng inom, Chic-boy na, may pulutan pa! hehe Ah the best Chic-Boy outlet, go to Timog.. Ang laki at may band pa!!! One time, ayun may all chick band. hehe Si Rheg Sta. Cruz branch, pero ako 2nd best siya kasi mabilis at masarap ang luto!! Lahat. hehe

Lamang lang ng timog, kumpleto eh.. Kaya walang bar dun na malapit kasi lugi. hahaha

The winner is from the stable of Pier-One, chicken na at baboy pa!!!! Chic-Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kung Ako'y Isang

(drayber)

This is so attainable at my situation, which I hope tuloy na next year. Kung magiging driver ako, recently nadiscover ko, gusto ko maging Senna!!! hahaha Malabo geez.. As Mike Schumacher says, Aryton Senna is the greatest driver in F1. Watched the documentary and he's damn correct.

Naisip ko din, paano talaga kung ang work ko eh driver lang. Siguro dun sa mayaman na! Kasi kahit sa panaginip ka makamaneho ng luxury or sports cars, eh madrive mo naman thanks to your rice amo.

Or how about construction driver, geez, di lang driving matutunan mo, kundi extra excercise kasi sa laki ng mga dinidrive mo. hehe

Simpleng driver sa middle class family, like ours before which di ko naman naabutan, ayun may driver pa daw kami at may chedeng kami ha.. Dalawa pa! Wow.

Pero parang ang middle class family can't afford to have an own driver, talagang pang rich na lang sila. Or company drivers perhaps, ok lang eh, kaso some cars has company logo o sign.. Geez, di pwede pasimpleng gala. hehe Or how about driver for the stars na malamang, mas una ka sa chixmax. hahaha Or malalaman mo kung totoo ang chismax. Grabe, magulo yun! hehe

Hmmmm, actually the kind of driver I hate, no not jeepney drivers kasi bihira lang accidente, more on bangga kasi. Pero ang matinik talaga sa lahat, bus driver. Kung ako walang choice, siguro, janitor na lang. hehe Pero maiintindihan mo naman sila kaya ganun sila magdrive, ginagawang hatchback yun bus. Since commission basis ang sweldo, aba di ka pwedeng mabagal or basta may kalahating sakay eh biyahe na. Wala na silang sweldo nun. hehehe Kawawa naman yun konduktor.

Kaya ayun, haribas ang takbo at higit sa lahat, talagang scary sila, lalo sa dikdikan. Buwis buhay din, lalo na kung provincial bus driver ka, alam naman smooth driving ka lang.. Di pwede. hehe

Well, of course, before you can be a driver, dapat may car ka. Eh kaya naman ako tinatamad magaral magdrive, I know it has many benefits but come on, what will be my car? Invisible car perhaps. I hope I can have a lightcar like in tron. hehe But geez, pero ako kung may car, siguro yun pang city car lang, or siguro yun pwedeng dalin sa sagada like the AUV's. For now, mangarap na lang. hehe But my dream car is a porsche boxster or kahit BMW M3 or z8 two door, ok na. =)

At least eto, I can say machieve ko naman despite at a late age but well, it's better late than never at all.

Malay ko na lang in the future, I'll have one at my own. I can go anywhere at anytime. =)


PreView

Nobyembre... Hay naku. hehe

Ang bilis naman ng panahon, 11th month of the year. Nearing holiday season.. Nearing Christmas parties, office, shop or even at house, or other houses as well. Fireworks at New Year's eve.. White Christmas as well.. Geez.. Everybody, expecting something at this special season. Ah sorry, November pala muna. =)

Well, nothing to really expecting great this month. Pero some important events ang kailangan gawin or going through.. Just wait until the 3rd week of November. Sana maging blessed. hehe Ah other than that, hay no NBA.. Damn magtiyaga sa PBA, pero maganda ang PBA ha.. Leethal Weapon kasi. hehe And some teams na din, can't believe Aces is under Joel Banal. Geez, they just got their 1st win today.

Ah basta, I want KD, LBJ, Dirk back!!!!!!!!!!! The 30 teams who are fighting for one damn trophy until June.. Sad to say, due to the complications of the negotiations and pathetic persons like the executive director in the players side, and selfish owners who wants more cost cutting yet more revenue, I don't know when it will end. Like Charles says, brace ourselves for a whole season lockout. Parang NHL lang dati. Bwisit. hehe

Di bale this month, hmmmm I am planning to fix the gov't papers like yun ID na bago at yun pagibig ko, I mean the HDMF. hehe Baka di nagreremit ang mga kompanyang nagwork ko ha!!! Malaman nga. SSS na din to update my profile and contributions.

Yeah, sales to pick up, and more rest na din. The CG will have few but important activities naman. What else.. May nalaman na naman ako pagkukuha ng sounds, and it's working. It made limewire, frostwire and others.. Obsolete. hehe At mukhang walang huli, at kaso. Kaya may mga magandang sources na ko ng pektos. Parang drugs lang no? hehe

For this month, just please, less work, stress will be there pero less din. At higit sa lahat, tuloy lang.. Sana mataas na din ang GRIDD para may sapatos na ulit. hehe Ah yes, ingat pala sa QA.

I will reveal which I almost forgot, one of my past that really I can't say define me, but really had a hard time to cope up, until my last year at college. Better wait for that. =)

Still this month, kaunti lang ang medyo pasabog.. Save the best for last, next month.
