ReView

Bilis talaga ng buwan pag 28 days lang. hehe Pero anyway, importante eh ayos naman this month. After all the patience and some changes sa work eh mukhang kaya naman. 

Yun summer blues eh parating na, medyo umiinit na sa hapon eh. Mabuti naman etong templo sa tabi namin bawas ingay, kaso di pa din ako makatulog na mahaba araw araw. Tumahimik sila. hahaha I'm happy natapos ko na din target ko sa blog this month. Matagal tagal na din ko di nakakatarget pero di na papayag, it started last month pa at this month so great news. 

Nakaksurprise na ang computer ko did not break down, pero ready naman ako sa back up. hehe At least, no more hassle or waiting for an hour to have it running. I'm just worried about my storage, yes 2TB eh mauubos na. Akalain mo, parang kailan lang, it means, I amassed 2TB in around less than 2 years. Conservative pa yun. hahahaha Pili kung baga so naisip ko muna, wala munang anime series download. 

Sayang, di ko man nakita si Marion Cotilliard. hehe Surprise visit at may Melanie Laurent pa pala siya nakasama. Pero mas manghihinayang ako kung si Eva Green eh ganun din ginawa! Erghh.. Iba talaga pag UN ambassador. hehe

Malapit na matapos ang NBA season, I know April pa pero sa West number 8 seed lang naman pinagaawayan. Sa East, rumble pa. hahaha Pero ang sure eh Lebron is back, WAS ko on a slide. Bad trip.. GSW and MEM eh tama lang naman hula ko. OKC malabo umusad sa second round. hehe

What else.. March na agad? Hmmmm basta eto na, I feel makakaluwag na. At least for some things. 

Summer time na talaga, that's for sure. No more cold all day. =( 

broken lines (collection 50)

True love is the greatest action you’ll do!
Everything and anything, is for you..
Even tired, weak and desolate, I’ll move.
Pain goes astray, simple smile is okay.

True love is the greatest word you’ll say!
The letters I’ve sent, few words I whisper..
I wrote short poems shows feeling that matters.
Declared love to made known and stood for all..

True love is the greatest feeling you’ll live!
Slow to rise, yet your presence is enough!
My afternoon delight is you always..
Thy darkness dawns, your aura lights me up.

True love rises even times of despair.
True love can stand through eternity..

Unplanned 60

Hay, mukhang marami  pa ko hahabulin. hehe Kaunti na lang.

For the past weeks, I'm in a daze. But great thing, medyo focused so kala ko ano na. Kaso sa work, medyo dehado, paano ba naman kasi tong ginagawang templo, ewan ko kung kailan matatapos, nakakapeste na! Di tuloy ako makatulog ng matino pag weekdays. Bwisit..

Well, tapos na yun mga weddings, and other events, so unting unti ako nakakaluwag. hahaha Sana in the past weeks, I'll get a real rest. Indeed a rest!

Nakakatawa nga, kasi may unexpected opportunity pala ako sa work, surprised me I should say. So medyo serious sulat ang gagawin ko dito. Medyo serious lang. I still can't believe that napili ako, at ASEAN region pa. The whole one. Yikes. hehehe

Confused at the past weeks din pero nah, tapos na yun. Importante, tuloy lang at yes, later eh magtatanong na ko. We'll see. Sana ok naman ang usap namin.

Quite worried na ang 2TB is at the midst of being full. Wow, so it means, in the few days, kailangan na dagdagan at higit sa lahat, I need another back up for that. In data management, better safe to have another back than sorry if you don't have one. 

Nakakagulat na nakatulog ako sa hapon, not doing it for the longest time. Important sana bukas at mga susunod na araw, eh tuloy tuloy na. Sana nga tapos na pesteng ginagawa mismo sa tapat ng kwarto ko. That will give me at least less of my problems. 

I was upset on how things were going, maybe I'm poor for the past weeks, but it did one thing. Slowed me down for a bit and realize na may mga bagay, dapat slowly but surely. Take it slow and importante, less troubles and less risk. Indeed. 

For now, siguro focus ko eh to get more sleep sa weekdays.. Fix my things as well, and most of all, start to some things. At yes, stay at home more lalo na tight budget at nandito pa si Gerro. Good grief. hahaha

Fix my sked na din. Definitely! I also realize na I'm too old for being..

A nightcrawler.

Redmi Note

Noong narinig ko na may binebenta na Redmi Note at a certain price, aba nagulat ako kasi mura! hehe Tama nga sabi ng mga tech sites or blog sites na it's one of the smartphones na talagang hinihintay irelease dito.

Until to this day, di naman siya narelease. hahaha So nakuha ko siya in a kinda different market. Anyway, just look at the specs 5.5 inches, octa core Mediatek chipset, tapos 2GB of ram and kahit jellybean siya, pero MiUI skin, at of course, 13 mpeg rear camera and 5mpeg front camera. 3200mah batt pala, which simply say sure na one day todo usage. 

Siyempre, dun muna sa di ko gusto na sakit kung baga. Pero ngayon pa lang sinasabi ko na, pagtiyagaan na lang kasi di naman sobrang nakakaepekto sa performance ng phone. It's still a buy kumbaga. First is the USB connector. Kala ko sira kasi di makatransfer ng files from computer to this phone dahil sa connector. Pero nung nakapagpalit na, ganun pa din. Kahit sa charging, di pwede yun sobrang sa charger kasi di nagcharge, dapat mababa lang yun phone. I had a solution! hahaha Yun usb port ng cdr king, aba, gumana yun transfer ng files from computer to phone at well, yun charging basta ibaba lang ng kaunti, may indicator naman kaya yun. 

Isa pa, eh sounds, klaro siya kaso, mahina. Kahit todo yun volume, mahina pa din, kaya yun, ang hirap. Mas malakas pa yun Flare 3 pero lata. So, for me, no choice. hahaha Maganda sana yun clarity, I mean bass, and other parts ng kanta may tunog kaso kung tahimik lugar mo, eh ok. Mas malakas pa hands free speaker niya. Weird right? Mas maganda pa ata yun nokia X2 ko pagdating sa sounds. Beat the hell out sa flare 3 and this phone against sa X2.

After ng Xiaomi update, may times na nagrereset siya. hahaha Di naman lagi, pero basta, nagreset siya lalo na pag nasurf ka. Grabe.. Kakaasar minsan pero pwede na pagtiisan. hehe Another one eh yes, Jellybean, pero di ko naman pansin yun unless if you are into kitkat or lollipop purist. For me, wala naman pinagkaiba. 

At yes, malaki siyang phone at medyo linis linis din kasi yun likod niya na plastic, mabilis madumihan, white pa. 

So, tama na nga ang nega. Positive naman at eto yun mga reason kung bakit sulit ang phone! 

Una, grabe, 5.5 screen na HD is sulit! I mean, lalo na pag mga yify files, grabe iba ang HD file dito, lalo na yun mga big blue ray files... Sarap manood dito! Kaya sakto lang sakin ang 5.5 inches, di masyado maliit or sobrang laki, sakto lang. Screen pa lang for me ha sulit na. Sarap manood and games, well di ako sa games pero malamang pag nag COC ang user dito, maaddik na! hahaha

Pangalawa, yun speed niya, although sa scores medyo behind, pero I don't care, mabilis at yun 2GB ram works talaga. Sarap mag office at magtype dito. Kahit sabay sabay mo nakarun ang apps, parang wala lang. hahaha Another sulit feature. Saka octa core talaga, grabe, pantapat sa mga flaship phone in a more sulit thing.

Pangatlo, despite yun camera eh simple features, eh grabe, sulit siya! Kakaaddict kumuha ng pics and videos. Magugustuhan yun mga mahilig kumuha ng selfies or photos by this phone. That's for sure. 

Lastly, the MiUI. I use this sa flare 3 pero launcher lang kasi. At last, got a taste of the full MiUI experience. I can say na panalo siya, kasi daming features na pwedeng gamitin at higit sa lahat magandang tignan. If I were Apple, eto yun idedemanda ko! hahaha I mean, nung unang tingin ko, 50% ng interface parang iOS at may dagdag features pa! hehe Kaya grabe, lalo na yun messaging app nito, iOS ang dating na lower gen. See it for yourselves. 

Nakakatawa, may feature dito na naku, pangkabit. I mean pag may tinatago kang ehem message and other stuff, pwede dito. Alam na. hahaha Nagulat ako sa feature na yun at pwede sa mga pang, two timer. Mabenta to. hehe

May single sim version nito na LTE pero since di ko yun nakuha ok lang. I rather have this 3G version kasi di pa naman pulido ang LTE dito. We are so long behind in terms sa net and LTE, so sa susunod na phone na lang ako bibili na may LTE. 

Ok naman 3G connection nito, at yun ibang apps like weather, wallpaper and others. 

Is it for keeps? Yes, lalo na kung basic phone mo to.. Sulit siya, pero kung habol mo may LTE eh hindi ito. Get the other version. Mura and the price na may HD screen, great camera and bonus pa, aba ewan ko na lang kung ano hahanapin mo. Kaya yun sa Kimstore na 9K na to? Sulit na sulit. Lalo na pag nanonood ng films, for film buffs on the go na tight budget? Get this. hehe 

Just bear with the sounds on it. 

Despite may plan ako in the future to get ehem my dream phone, parang ang hirap bitawan nito. Honestly... I let go the flare 3 but for this one..

It maybe for keeps.. =)





Kingsman: The Secret Service

When first news broke out that Matthew Vaughn will not direct the X-Men days of the future past, well it was a sad day. I mean after doing great at First class, then it's expected he'll save X-Men for good. 
Unfortunately, it was not. He chose this film than doing X-Men.
After watching this film, I know why now. I hope Bond was this bloody, I mean literally bloody great! What's more interesting is what I found out later.

It's a great action film, great thing to start this year with this one and of course, looking forward for more of this stuff. I mean, this film should be, definitely has a sequel. 

Although it has some mishaps. Only 2 things disturb me. Weird first scene, I did not quite get, how the dude died. I mean, it's explodes but it's still there and all of them lives. It was weird and sort of did not get it. I'll watch it again when the home release comes. 
Another one, well, sorry to spoil but indeed, Colin Firth's character shouldn't be dead. I know it maybe part of the story but he started it all and he is Kingsman. Indeed. 

That's all! The rest is damn great! I'll give credit to Matthew Vaughn that always deliver the good in his action packed films. This one is no exception and some others say it's his best film. For me, I can say yeah! He kinda trampled all other spy films in the action sense. He showed great action scenes, and really deadly villian and, great cast as well. Despite the film was long, I really did not feel a second that is boring or a scene dragging. That's how great it is. Especially that church scene, I mean at first I did not understand because its a surprise but I don't care! It's a blast!!! That is damn action scene!

Great cast! At last Mark Strong is a protagonist, I mean more than half of his films are always at the villain side. Great scary mentor and support for the film. Michael Caine is always Michael Caine. Samuel Jackson is just the right type of crazy main villain. Roxy, I forgot that actress name playing her is interesting.  Taron Egerton is a promising star, and this dude will get a lot of roles in the future. Of course, the ultimate Kingsman: Colin Firth. Wow, total transformation by him, I mean you always watch him in drama films, but this one, well mannered killing spy machine. Geez, I hope he'll do a lot this kind of action films. Sofia Boutella is the name of the actress of the blade runner. Geez, can you believe an ichi the killer as a woman? That sold me! Especially the first kill of hers. That was insane!
Anyway, the most suprising part is the writing. I mean, when I searched this comic at the net, they changed a lot of characters and even the spy organization. Give credit to Matthew and Jane for that making it work. I don't know how they will make it work in the future films but with that skill, they'll make it work. 

What a way to start this year with a great action packed film. Great thing they pushed this from October to February because I don't want to watch a film about a man who has a fetish in S&M. 
I mean japanese and european films already done that. Unless if the director of that film is well, I know who can do it in a more good way. 

Forget it, I did not like that, but for this one...

I like that line, Manners maketh Man. 

Who will win by the way, Ichi or Gazelle? hehe

R at last getting married!

7pm na at medyo sumasakit ang balikat ko.hehe Grabe pala magsuspender. I hope that will be the first and last time magsusuot nun. Grabe ang sakit till the next day. hahaha

Actually, muntikan na ko di makapunta, no kidding, due to well financial stressful that week was. Thank God, due to some calculation and luck, nakaraos din. hehehe Regidor and Katrina, simply John Lloyd este Rheg's and Khaye's big day. Si Rheg, mahilig yun may Kat na name. Bwahaha
Getting married for CRAP is the new thing. C for Cristian eh tapos na, P for Iggies pinakauna which both of them tapos na last December. R for Regidor eh di naman nagkakalayo, yun last Saturday. Time flies fast.. 

While listening to their marriage vows, as I am a witness to their love in those 6 long years na sabi nila. I don't know, para nagulat lang ako na ganun na sila katagal. hahaha Anyway, I saw their ups, downs, falls and now, victorious! The hardships, and trials na dumating, especially pressure in their respective careers eh nakayanan nila. It's no joke and let's say came out strong naman. 
Actually sasabihin ko dapat to sa speech ko but I dropped it. hahaha Rheg was not like he is now, I mean determined, thinking about the future, and of course, thinking about Khaye all the time. Loving her all the time. Ok lang na drop niya ang CRAP some events. hahaha Di naman tampo pero kung para kay Khaye, maiintindihan ko yun or namin. 

Simply Rheg changed when Khaye came to his life. Although it took time but like wine, it tastes good when aged. That's the best metaphor I can give to them about their love story. Except siguro sa looking healthy. hahaha But through thick and thin, they grow and love each other. Di ko alam kung naintidihan ni Rheg yun vow ni Khaye, kasi english. hahaha Pero when it comes to Khaye, she also changed for the better for Rheg. Sa faith, and even her outlook in life, I mean changed to have a positive perspective. Eh kung ang BF mo naman makulit, palaasar, komedyante, at malambing, di ka pa magiging positive nun. =) Of course, kahit ako nga napamahal ko si Rheg, ewan ko pa si Khaye. hahaha

But simply Khaye changed for the best na din due to the love ni Rheg. Simply as it is. Hay, after those vows... Yun, balik ako sa kinakain ko at anak ng tinapa.. After that intro dance and stuff, aba pasubo pa lang ako, tinawag ako for my speech. Sa sobrang stressful that week, actually di ako naghanda. hahaha

I just told them 3 important advise na maging strong yun Marriage nila. First is put God in their relationship. Second, continue to love each other at third, give and ask always for hope. Hope sa kanilang dalawa at siyempre sa nakapaligid sa kanilang relationship. Wow, first time and maybe the last time I'll give a speech in a wedding. Dapat last time ata kasi si Rheg lang naman best friend ko. hahaha At halos kasal na lahat ng close friends ko. 

Damn, mas matagal pa ata yun hintay kaysa sa wedding proper. Thanks to Igz and Shayne, I had a great time at siyempre sa new Mr. and Mrs. Malabed. Bad trip lang that day? No Milo Shake sa Family Mart techno hub! Bwiset! hahaha

Ah yes, that suspender. Daya nga ng ungas, siya di nakasuspender tapos kami mga abay na lalake, parusa! hahaha

It's glad to see those closest friends I have getting settled down. Despite my worries in the future, I mean, well feeling ko na talagang single na.. 

I'll just focus what I have and maybe, try to find one na din. Enjoy these times of singleness as if that time comes, I won't be like this as well. Besides, tapos na sila, wala na masyado events na parating.. At mantakin mo, VL pa ng Monday, so makakatikim na ko na tunay na VL. hehe

Looking back, I'm very happy and satisfied that they found, love that lasts every single moment. Aiyee!!! =)

Now, pag turn ko na, pahihirapan ko nga to si Rheg. Akalain mo, sa kasal niya inaasar pa ko at dami pagawa. 

Lagot ka sa kasal ko! hahahaha

Peace bro! =)

A is the only one left... Hmmmmm

Flashbacks: Dates

What a way to celebrate Valentine’s Day! Hehehe

One morning, while waiting at a certain mall, coming near me a lady that looks like, ehem.. Someone chinky. Anyway, played billiards, watched movies and ate out. Very friendly lady.. Sweet one and kinda sassy. Hahaha Talked hours over the phone and talked a lot. Also, hmmmmm we just like eating blizzard.

That was around 6pm in the evening, waiting around the school.. Despite it was kinda dark, a girl approaches, wearing some pinkish shirt and I thought I am meeting a high school senior. Well, nah. She’s older than me! It was a night to remember. We laughed, shared some stories and walked around then said goodbye. Not the last time we met.

Almost waiting for more than an hour, can’t believe that I’m doing this for a girl which well more near at the place we are meeting. I feel tired and getting impatient. For short, losing hope. Suddenly, a lady approaching almost everybody turning heads to her! Wearing in a blue blouse and just the right fit jeans and quite tall. Same as me.. After looking at her, she’s in front of me. She’s the one I’m waiting for! Watched movies, ate out and kinda talked long. Worth the freaking wait! Hahaha

Hmmmm while strolling around the mall, we just talked and laughed! We want to really get away from stress at home and school. I can’t even believe I can get close to her because at the time, it’s just I feel distant. Anyway, I enjoyed, she also enjoyed as well. I also forgot if we watched something, hmmmm maybe she’s more important than the things we did that time. An ideal girl I looked before. It never crossed my mind before that there is an ideal girl. What’s more to the standard that I’m looking for. Crazy idea.

We drank a lot of juices! Pineapple juice and orange juice. Hahaha Anyway, hmmm  it seems that we were having a great time, especially when one of my rock idols seated beside me. Well, what was important that night, is her. I got drunk not because of the juices, but maybe just her close presence. Rockin' the night with love..

Sitting at a bus, almost groggy and sleepy, a very long trip.. Beside me, a girl that I still can't comprehend. However, together, we are quite inseparable. That time, I don't know, staring at her giving me such love. Lovely feeling. I don't know why, even she's sleeping. Beneath her, I feel something bothering her. Anyway, we are now going back home. Even the bus was slow, middle of the Christmas traffic, I did not mind. Important is, we were going back, together.

That cafe was kinda dark.. Although I don't mind such dark and lonely atmosphere.. I still loved two things, the cold coffee dessert I'm drinking and the lady in front of me. Smiling, and laughing at the same time. We were having fun.. Despite a hot Sunday afternoon, it was filled with such cold love. Talking where to go, what to do and most of all, us. It was a special time. Lovely time.

Waiting outside of the farthest mall I can imagine. Well, she said she's on her way but well, as usual I'm the first one to arrive. Thinking what to say, or even what I can discuss. I haven't felt this for a long time. But I don't expect really something at the end. What to do or what she likes to do or where to go actually. I'm more anxious than excited. I don't know why. But, she arrived and we kinda smiled. A good start. 

I don't really matter. What matter is...

Love always comes in an unexpected date. 

classics: Hoop Dreams

I written before that I do have like a dream of being a basketball player. Unfortunately, I was not able to harness or develop my talent.  I end up just watching basketball games in TV or net, or sometimes betting through odds. I simply ended up a die hard basketball fan.

I also end up watching this great documentary because I’m curious with its rave reviews. I need to find it out. After almost 3 hours of footage, I can say, it’s one of the best documentaries ever! It’s also well one of the best or I can say the best basketball documentary! The documentary has a simple plot, it’s about 2 promising basketball players pursuing their dreams of being pro through going well NCAA division 1 school. It starts from freshman until they graduated high school. The two prospects namely William Gates and Arthur Agee. William is already a star point guard of St. Joseph’s high school, while Arthur is just entering St. Joseph’s as a freshman and making tryouts to be included at the varsity team. 
The story goes from there and for 3 hours, it gave a real picture on how basketball recruitment works from HS to college. It also show the real stories behind these process and how it affects their families and friends.

Let’s go what I did not like or some flaws of the film. Actually, I can’t think of any. That’s how great of this film, but maybe one. Hmmm it’s maybe the unknown leads. I mean unknown HS basketball players lead this film. It’s not really a flaw but if you are only a simple basketball fan and looking for known star, you won’t find in this film. You’ll find great cameos but not really a known HS player at that time. That’s all I can think of.

First great thing about this film is the sheer realism of basketball story. I mean not only you’ll see a lot of basketball footages such as practices, and real games summary but also the process of recruiting, the family background of the players and of course, how basketball really embodied in the lives of the players. Real competitors and they risk everything just to play ball. There are scenes that you can’t believe they really prioritize basketball above family events or simple get together. How about even they are injured, they don’t think of rest but still want to play. Absurd but well, it’s the truth.

Another great factor in this film, is the drama showing in the film. Intense drama all through out. One scene there was the practice of William’s team. That coach is going nuts in just one mistake. Geez, how are you going to be motivated by that. Actually all the practices showing there is kinda intense and thought provoking. I’m thinking, I do have a lot of patience but when you have that kind of rigid practice, my patience will run out. Soon. I am sad with Arthur’s side of story,  I mean, her Mom doing everything to survive with her kids, raising them alone at one point. Then, it shows how Arthur got affected from his dropping out from St. Joseph plus the suddenly arrest and separation of his dad, whom the one taught him basketball. It’s really a grim feeling at that point of the film. At William’s side, well, kinda sad that he went through 2 knee surgeries that kinda lower his game, especially as the movie comes along. But great thing, he’s lucky and still played going through pain and high pressure as he is a star player.

What surprised me in this film was the cameos. Michigan’s fab five was here, Bobby Knight, Coach K of Duke, then Isiah Thomas because of William’s coach. The summer camp part, and the NCAA recruitment process as well. I’m thinking that those things show, it really gave you a glimpse of how basketball players work up to being great recruit in college then going pro. I love the part when the coach of Marquette is explaining the player how the system works, plus his future goals such as if not NBA, the player might end up playing in Europe. It’s realistic and optimistic at the same time. I still love that summer camp which all the players staying at one room and it’s like camp. You go up early, warm up and play ball. Show the best what you got especially coaches from different universities are scouting for you. How lucky is William? Darn, every big NCAA college division 1 has sent him tryout, letters just to come to them. Wow.. That happened before he got injured.
What I really love in this film is the flow of it. I mean, this film was able to deliver great flow despite 2 main characters were moving at the same time. One was on the rise, then another falls first but redeemed at the end. One indeed was on the rise, fallen due to injuries but well, he still got the same result. I really love Arthur’s story as despite dropping out then father left him but returned, it was difficult for him. That also affects his playing ball, but great thing, through adversity, his team was not good.. But in the latter part, they became strong, underdogs and played great in their state championship. Despite losing in the final game, they played great. They won hearts of many as underdogs and unranked in their state.

Don’t forget the jazz musical score used in the film. I mean, it’s weird right? Basketball usually has hip hop/rap musical score but in this film, it’s sax and jazz. It worked actually. Great score.
Despite it ran for 3 hours, I wanted for more because you want to know their stories in college but with the effective epilogue, that’s fine. Enough fitting for an ending.

You see as you going through the film, no question, William has talent but his development was not right for him. I could say, I’ll blame the coach as he tried to pattern his star point guard to Isiah Thomas which I don’t think its right. William’s skill looks like he’s more of a SG, than PG. Arthur’s game was better, I mean despite little development, he never stopped improving and playing as a leader in both ends of the court which made him better in the end. He has also not only became better, but also stronger because he endured a lot while playing. Great thing, he was not injured.

Unfortunately, when you searched in wiki, both of them did not make it to NBA, even in Europe. But both of them became stars because of this documentary, and became successful in different endeavors. William became a pastor in his church but also graduated college. Arthur despite better chance of going pro, he became a successful businessman and motivational speaker now.

There were other stars of the film, simply the family members/friends shown in the film. William’s side has more upbringing and calm. Arthur side is more fun yet serious, well especially they were on the other side of financial slide. Film shows the diversity, in everything such as race, social and even schools.

Anyway, I want to watch this again sometime in the future. It gives you really thinking that all the basketball players on how they grow. Come to think of it, with a lot of players coming the NBA and NCAA not making it big or all star, what went wrong to them? Or what they do when dreams not reach or worse fade.. What is life after not reaching the dream?

In reaching hoop dreams, it’s not only talent/skill but also how to deal, working in a team and yes..
A bit of luck. 

Keep being a playa!

almost gone: My room's ceiling

It's not really a social metaphor or statement. Talagang 50% of my room's ceiling eh still gone. Nakikita ko pa din yun yero na nilagay at yun mga kahoy na nakakabit, which di ko alam tawag, basta yun mga plywood. Mabuti na lang pagumuulan eh isang tulo na lang lumalabas dito.
Ang bilis ng panahon, parang 7 months ago, nagdadasal ako lagi na sana di umulan para di mabasa yun kwarto ko. Pero ngayon, eto na, naayos at nakakatulog naman ako ng maayos. I missed na kumpleto pa yun kisame. Minsan nakatulala lang ako, at makita yun white na kisame, ano ano na naiisip ko. Sometimes, it gives me calm or even peace. Lalo na pag magulo na ang buhay.

Ngayon, wala na yun white color, kulay kahoy yun nakikita ko na. Pero di ibig sabihin eh minsan di pa din ako natatahimik, ok pa din minsan. Kahit ano pa man ang kisame ko basta tahimik, walang gulo at maayos ang kwarto ko, ok naman ako. 
Ok naman ako.. Talaga? 

Siguro nga. Mabuti naman rest of the room still looks white, dirty white and pure white at some spots. Except sa sahig siyempre. hehe I know I don't really like white, may exception lang sa kwarto ko. hahaha

At night, or kahit bago matulog, parang di ko naman alintana kung ano yun kwarto ko, basta may kama pa ko tutulugan, or a place like I said before, sanctuary. Pero importante din na may spot na pagbukas ng mata ko or the last spot I'll see, is that space.. Up there. Simple, rustic, yet calm.
It's weird, but somehow, it gives me hope. Hope that I am still living today. 

Planning to paint it? Nah, mahirap at sa ganun kundisyon ng kisame, eh pabayaan na lang na ganyan. Let it aged.

Sabagay, kisame pa naman sa tapat ng kama ko.

What a way to start February.. hehe Hay, more stress outside work. Medyo nakukuha ko na ang rhythm in my work. Can’t believe, well I’ll tell later. Basta, so much idle time.
It’s a shock to me that kung tuloy na eh,  sira na naman ang plans. More radical change this time than last year. For this month, marelieve na ko in some things, at yes, tapos na ang mga weddings. 

Mukhang last minute pa ko makakabili ng damit. Hahaha Still broke for this time, pero pagdating ng next week, start na ng normal financial flow. At least. What really struck me, eh imbes next year, mukhang mapapaaga pa. Nerve wracking crap. Hahaha

I’ll think about that later. What else to do this month, habol sa posting lang. Not writing, although I missed posting last month pero complete naman, natagalan lang ng balik ng net. Siguro this month, a lot of thinking, asking as well. Reading and deciding. Honestly, I don’t want to do it yet, but it may leave me no choice.

Month of love as it is, but I’m not doing anything. It’s just a regular month for me. Di naman sa bitter pero yun lang talaga. I have no qualms about that. Kahit medyo tagilid ang start ng month ko eh akalain mo may buenas pa ko. Hahaha I’m surprised and looking forward to it, I still can’t believe na through writing, I can do something for the company. I still can’t believe it.. Honestly why I’m selected. Medyo basa basa na nga ko ng steps at nagiisip na maiisulat kasi sa topic. Hahaha

Yun lang muna, I don’t want to spill it out at the beginning.

Let’s spill  it out at the end. Some =)

Before I go to work, actually dapat this weekend.. I just can't believe what happened. All my good plans for the weekend went to naught. I'm quite upset.. You saw it right, upset.

Worse.. What a way to start the year.. Broke. hahaha I don't know.. This month, ok na but I was stuck by let's say bad luck. Damn luck. Sabon dito, kusot doon.. haay... Once I finished these hurdles, back to the original pace, for a while. 

This month, actually sorry na di ko napost to agad sa January pero nareach ko naman yun target ko. Talagang something bad happened this weekend. Actually, ruined my rest sana. Anxiety raised up!
Dagdag pa ang pressure this year, well, I'll say more pressure. Later. Geez, kung kailan! Ergh.... After this cold month, sana medyo uminit naman sa Feb. Mahirap maligo ng sobrang lamig! hahaha I admit some days, I just don't want to take a cold bath. Kakatamad naman kung papainit pa ng tubig. 

Well, I almost can say that I had a good month but January has 31 days, and those 30th and 31st days ruined it. Talking about last minute happening. 

Oh, that's not all.. Mukhang basta. Let's say, savor the moment. That is an appropriate expression. It is. It will be. 

Nahirapan din ako magsulat this month kasi siyempre di sanay but nung matatapos ko na ang target, aba, the feeling of finishing such crappy works excites me. hehe Sense of achievement kung baga. I just don't want to elaborate what happened this month more. 

Next month, well.. I hope I won't write the same thing again. I want some improvement, better path, and yes..

Moving forward! To start Feb, congrats to NE Patriots! Parang nga silang Spurs. Grabe si Brady! hehehe

Crushes: Eva Green

Go and watch the Dreamers! Hahaha That’s it. Done, end of story!  

Next crush is.. Kidding. The first time I saw here was in 007’s Casino Royale. The first glance at her, I was mesmerized not only with that almost perfect European looks but also how she acts elegant. I mean of course, they are many better actresses who can really act, but for her, just the right actress fit in her beauty. Simply, timeless, elegant beauty. Any movie you put her, it's just there is already a draw to her that breathtaking aura. 

Of course, why you wouldn't be attracted to that very bright skin matched with that very perfect round eyes, don't forget her green colored eyes! Model figure from top to bottom and indeed, european beauty at it's finest. Wow, even the movie the perfect sense, despite it's a quite not good movie, I just stared at her all the scenes she's at it and I'm fine. Movie is good! How about the 300: Rise of the Empire? I mean, despite all the shortcomings of the film, she saved it because of her ferocious, beautiful and deadly character! The movie passed to me. Without her, I'll damn curse that film.  

Definitely, after Casino Royale, I searched which are the other films she had done and one film you shouldn't miss.. The Dreamers! This film, well quite controversial not to it's story, or even the cast, but around 60-70% of the running time, you'll see all the actors naked. Bared naked. Yes, that includes Eva Green. My favorite line in the film, "I have no hands.." Oh yeah.. Then yes, feast your eyes in every angle of Eva. Damn.. To tell you the truth, of course, you will watch this film and view as a soft porn flick which as I focused to her, I was indeed, well not aroused or got titilated of sorts. Honestly, I just really stared at her. Real look to her not only her body but as a whole. Such a beautiful actress. Indeed, if I have a list of top ten beautiful actresses in films all time, she is already one of them. Such a lovely sight. I just sigh and darn.. 

Of course, nobody's perfect. As for her, I have no qualms to her well, she can do modelling than acting and I think she can still stood out to other supermodels now and then.. One thing really bothers me at her career. One example, last year.. She appeared in two films, as I know, one is 300 and Sin City 2. Both of them, well she looks great at the roles she acted but the films were not really good critically or worse for Sin City 2, it flopped big time. Dark Shadows didn't do good, or even perfect sense. Oh there is one film I haven't watched, the one with Shailene Woodley, but I think and what I read, it's a good film. What I'm saying is when I checkd her filmography, most of the films she's into, were kinda not good. 

I loved Casino Royale and she's perfect for the role but other than that, I don't know which other film that not only she done great but the film is great.  I heard she is doing good at penny dreadful so I suggest in her next film, for a time being, go for films that she'll not be required to show skin or go nude. I mean she can act, she done that in Casino Royale and Kingdom of heaven, Golden Compass. I hope she'll do more of that. If she needs to change her manager, then do it! Hansel and Gretel witch hunters I think is great if she just accepted that role.. Hmmmm Maybe go get indie flicks perhaps or british films, french films.. By the way, she's french which she doesn't look like one.. I can say she's ehem sorry to Marion and Audrey, Lea Seydoux and her partner in blue in the warmest color, or even other french actresses.. Eva Green is the most beautiful french actress for me. Ever! 

So, that's it, I know it's only one flaw but it will help her a lot if she just get more good roles, or be cast in good films. Other than that..

I've been drawn in her that emerald eyes.. 

Hiatus Series: Procrastination

Procrastination  is the practice of carrying out less urgent tasks in preference to more urgent ones, or doing more pleasurable things in place of less pleasurable ones, and thus putting off impending tasks to a later time, sometimes to the "last minute" before the deadline. Well said wiki. Hehe Pinoy na Pinoy talaga ako!

Grabe, after the operation, of course, kahit recovered na ko eh sobrang talagang may sakit ako na katams! Hahaha Well, hmmmm ano ano pinagagawa ko pero usually eto mga pinagagawa ko.

DOTA! Para bumalik ang mga reflexes ko sa DOTA. Hehe Lalo na sa mga heroes na alam ko baka makalimutan ko na. Awa ng Diyos eh mukhang di naman. Naalala ko pa naman ang mga hero.

Surfing the net, as much gusto ko manood ng flicks ko, di ko nagawa kasi bubuksan ko pa computer and tapat pa sa kin, siyempre hahanapin ko sa HDD. So, ayun surf ng net na lang ginagawa ko, going to the usual sites.

Matulog at magisip. Not bad to do just to ease the freaking pain. Haha Actually, lahat na naplano ko for the present were the result of this combo. Siyempre, cannot move that much and do much. The good thing eh kahit papano, nakaramdam ako ng normal na pahinga at tulog in a short span of time.

Going somewhere, punta sa mall, pasyal dito, pasyal doon. Tambay with CRAP, going out with friends and well, usual places pala at siyempre churches. Nagawa ko lang to like I said, a month after I got well, operated. Pero yun mga unang lakad ko, grabe, di ako pwede tumawa! Hahaha Pain in the arse!!!!

Nood ng TV. Not really much but sometime eh no choice, napapanood ako ng Eat Bulaga, at yun ibang shows na di ko akalain, nasurvive ko panoorin. Hahaha Bad trip, wala pang masyadong basketball napanood. Nanood na lang ng iba.

Jdrama! Eto yun pinaka naaddict. Hahaha Siyempre, nakadiscover ako ng ilang site and some research on which shows to watch, ayun na. Di na natigil that time. Minsan, sa umaga na ko natutulog kasi sa iksi ng jdrama series, pwede isang pasadahan na to! Haha Dumami tuloy ang crush ko sa Japan. Hehe Mostly, nah same age ko, not those idols.. Oh please.. It is fun, and kinda enjoying it. =)

I know these things well, kinda normal sa nagpapahinga, pero pag sobra, malamang hindi. Instead of well, watching 9 straight hours ng jdrama or 5 hours of playing, or 4 hours of surfing the net, eh yun ibang oras nagawa ko sana in the other productive things. Productive activity such as well, exercise na dapat ginagawa ko na pero malamang delay because of this I need ko na magawa at di ko pa din ginawa nung pagaling na ko. Hahaha 

Geez.. How about reading a lot of books? Kahit memorize books! Di ko din ginagawa kasi well, naaddict sa mga ibang bagay. Hehe Yikes..

Other chores such as cleaning or fixing things na may time nakalimutan ko na kasi sa katamaran at ibang bagay na ginawa ko. I admit, well kinda regret did not use my rest time wisely but I enjoyed it. Sabagay that year was kinda chaotic and hectic so I thought ok lang pala.

You need to have time for yourself and rest, do things that you can enjoy and well, maging masaya. Nangyari naman yun. Kaya kahit may pagsisisi, ok lang.. Masaya naman ako that time. Feel refreshed and determined to make things straight.

Well, now eh sa mga nilista ko sa taas eh talagang moderation na or at least controlled. Di lang new year’s resolution but it’s a must for me this year, due to I have things to prioritize than these things. Di naman sila mawawala at di ako masyado magfocus on them. I cannot delay or ipabukas ang learning, developing, reaching goals. Time to change..

Kung baga, kailangan ngayon na!

Di pwede yun, bukas na lang yan. Hehe Pang high school lang yun!

Doing more productive ones than pleasurable ones, a good motto eh?

Eye of the Beholder

The night is still young at 3:00am. I can’t imagine that I’m so much this idle. Yet I still have sleepy head running all through out. I don’t yet what to do this coming weekend, but I do understand I’ll be busy until next weekend. I even anticipating what will I do on Thursday and Friday next week. I will need more sleep than ever

As I stare this half full Pepsi Max bottle, I can’t imagine that nobody wants to really finish this drink. Maybe all of us doesn’t like Pepsi. I still feel relieved this moment as I’m so idle and doing nothing, on top of tomorrow’s shift.. I’ll be doing the same thing. Nothing! Free to rest.

It’s crazy to face 2 monitors every single day. It’s the first time that I’m working with 2 monitors and now I understand how it works. I’m thinking to have this at home, but come to think of it, it’s quite stupid. I don’t use citrix at home.

Although I call, but this is nothing compared in my previous jobs. I should say well, it’s my first job that doesn’t really handle a large call volume. I can say it’s an office job at night. Now, I kinda having gnawing much, kinda sleepy perhaps.
I’m now thinking of changing the computer mouse again. It’s acting up, as it does double click even I only clicked once. I don’t know why computer mouse are built this way, these days.. Built not to last. Even my mouse at home, it’s also acting up, which the pointer sometimes goes nowhere!!!

I don’t know why were reminded to wear something red but I can say, it only shows team spirit. That’s it.. My skin is flaking again, and it means, too much cold in my skin. Yes, despite I love this kind of weather, my skin doesn’t especially if I’m in stress. It’s ironic, I don’t have this when summer comes, no problem with my skin but I hate the hot scorching weather. Nobody wants to be sweating all day right?

I don’t really see myself playing Clash of Clans. I don’t know, maybe I’m focused on more productive things or interesting things than killing time of like they use to say, going to war. Even at work.

It’s a surprise and a sign of peaceful day, nobody from local finance is bothering me.. I hope this go on every day. Not bad wishful thinking. Also, no stress for today.

My eyes are kinda weary, but not tired. Let’s say sleepy.. I can just close these eyes until the sun rises..

For now, what a way to kill time.. Doing nothing.

Not Showing: Gangs of Wasseypur

Well, I used to be curious in most films.. Way back high school, when we have still cable TV, I just surf the movie channels and some international channels and you can't help going over some indian channels. There are 2 most number international channels in Cable because these 2 nationalites has the most populous, namely chinese and indian. Well, I can stand watching chinese films, especially their 80's-90's cinema, but indian, I just wonder how can I stay long watching a film full of belly dancing, eering singing and a lot of those at the end. Can't blame their culture and the people of it. I'm not against indians, I mean it's just I don't really get it. Most of their films or worse, TV shows are just that. Tried and tested for a long time.. Besides, their bollywood industry alone, has a market value of millions of dollars despite at that look. Geez, well, give credit to those almost 1 billion followers. Not only in india but the neighbor countries as well.

That changed in this one film, I mean I read almost all the film sites or blogs, raving or kinda like this film. Indeed, not the usual indian flick. Although there are still the songs and dancing but not the actors themselves.. It's not perfect but it's great film. Great action packed bloody film. 
There are some flaws that I said. One is kinda weird, it's damn long. US release of this flick is staggering 3 hours long. Well, sad to say, that's short. The real release, is damn almost 5 hours long! Split into two parts. The cinephiles won't mind that long running time. But for average or even casual movie goer, I don't think they won't stand that time frame. I'm not sure with the US release if they do release as one film, I don't know how the editing will go. But for me, watch it, the long cut. I'll explain below..

Another flaw, the production set is not really changing. Well, I do understand that this film shot in a fast pace that they had to shoot in secret.. I hope they kinda at least change the scenery or look the background in the old times. Due to the story's scope, places change or even you can say it's a damned place, at least there should be a decent set in a certain time. That really shows in the first part of the film, all the shots it's like in the dessert. I hope it's better than that. Or don't tell me, that's the truth? That's sad.

Enough of the flaws.. First strength is despite it's really 5 hours long and kinda robbed my weekend rest.. Well, it did not bore me. The pace really made the viewer going like one scene is killing then next one is talking then another long scene of violence then stops, normal scene.. The up and down pace helped the film engaged to the viewer. If the film first hour is more of talking, then I'll just sleep perhaps. But that's not the case, great job of the narration which really helps to understand the flow of the story. Without it, it will be damn hard to follow. Give credit to the staff and the director of course.
The strength of it's cast also help in the film. Great surprise that they casted mostly not famous actors, and they shot it in a frentic pace which you can see as you watching the film. That's not easy to do, especially with the violent nature of the film. I love the main cast, a couple of beautiful lads, and my favorite character in the film, Definite. Weird name, but in the end, he's the only one you'll definitely remember. I'm thinking of Faizal as my fave but he's kinda unlucky. Ramandhir, indeed acts as a main villain. Lucky one is J.P. Most unlucky, the two fathers, Sadhar and Shadhir if I'm not mistaken. Poor dads. But the whole cast done their parts, from the uncles, to the henchmen and even the kids.

Another strength, the simple but long story of revenge. This is the reason why they done it long. I mean they could go for the Godfather route of splitting the films into 3, but they done at this rate, well it's a gamble. If this film not a hit and they only shown part one, which it has like one of the harrowing endings shown in film, viewers will be dissappointed if no part two due to poor sales. That's what I thought why they went to 2 flicks, show it at the same year or I don't know how they done it. Then part 2, it's not a let down and great thing, they finished it great. The climax is indeed there and pace went fast. It's like watching Godfather in a most minimal budget you can think of, and with a simple story. Two families out killing each other. 

With this film, I have an idea how India not only looks like in some of the simple cities but gangs work. Geez, they are more scary than ours perhaps. Scary shit.. Those are the kind of families you don't want to mess with. 

Lastly, the selling point of the film, violent action scenes. First one was kinda action packed although some of it funny but damn, profanity, cursing and guns in one scene, that's it! Then, despite not really using modern guns, mostly second hand guns, scenes were realistic, with stabbing, beheading, and shooting spree. Geez, it's kinda scary to go there. Alone.. I was smiling at the election scene, they do that in broad daylight? Wow, I don't want to vote if that's the case.. It's hell! Both endings of the two films are kinda harrowing, but the first one, I felt I cheered for Sadhir to get revenge, I even thought he'll live. But that's not the case. The second one, indeed it's crazy as hell and abrupts to close. Great timing. 

Ah yes, expect those songs again but it's their OST anyway but you'll be shocked at some songs with profane lyrics. I don't if that's the right sub but if that it is, then the tagline of this film is correct..

Not your usual indian cinema. Oh, I wonder if it shown here, will the indians watch this?

Broken lines (collection 49)

Trembling hands scares me,
Such cold winds without snow, hail..
Can’t sleep very tight!

Teary eyes running..
Cool breeze shivering my spine!
Can’t stretch out so right!

Breathing so helpless,
Never thought going outdoors.
Can’t get out easy!

Shaking all through out.
Even not staying in high cliff,
Can’t be calm like this!

Despite I love cold..
Never thought I’ll like all day,
Can’t stand this shaking!

I want to stay put,
Not like stuck in a ice block.
Can’t think of living..

Suddenly, I craved..
A need of something that burns.
Can’t stand without heat!

Kung ako’y isang..

(son of the famous!)

Hmmmm kung anak ako ng politiko.. Siguro.. Kung talagang baliw ako o masama, tatayo ako ng private army. Get the most number of guns, kung baga armory na. hahaha Siyempre para maprotektahan sarili. Tapos kung nasa province pa yun teritoryo niyo, aba medyo matapang ka dapat. Takutin yun mga kalaban o mag siga na para matinag sila.

Mabuti pa kung may pinagkukunan yun lalawigan na pagkakitaan, like quarrying, or palayan or sakahan, siyempre pwede ka pa kickback na malaki tapos bili bili na lang din mga lupain na malawak, tayuan ng mansyon, secret hide out. O kung iba trip ko, maraming kotse, tupadahan o kahit ano pa yan. Maraming kabit, siyempre chickboy mode na to. Hahaha 

Kung sa manila naman nakabase ang political power, aba siyempre iba naman ang diskarte. Money Laundering tactics, the usual! Deposit account na iba pangalan. Bili bili lang ng stocks. Dummy NGO’s. Invest sa mga negosyo kahit conflict of interest pa yan basta yumaman. Walang problema! Hehe

Siyempre, magpapalaki ka na ng network, kung pwede lang kahit mga kalaban mo sa pulitika para alam mo galaw.  Hahaha O sa huli para mag nadali ka o nahuli, proteksyon siyempre. Ako, dapat yun mga ex general o mga chief dapat ang malakas ang backer!
Oh eto, paano pag anak ako ng sikat na artista or artista/politiko pa! Siyempre kahit di marunong or panget umarte,  kapal na mukha to, magaartista ka dahil kilala naman ang pamilya mo. Kung ako yun, siyempre dahil kilala naman ang pamilya mo at kung buenas sa manager mo na puro magaganda ang mga talent aba makakapili ako na yayariin este didiskartehan.. Kung talagang buenas pa eh naanakan pa. hahaha Tapos iiwan din. Good job!

Siyempre dahil anak ka ng ganito, matapang, ok lang mapasama sa trouble o gulo, pero wag naman lagi. Masisira ang image ng family. Hehe Oh kaya paspecial sa network, or sa mga pelikula. Special treatment kahit wala naman talent. O kung mayroon lang, paporma lang, ok na ko. Hehe Kapalan na talaga ng mukha. At kung talagang makapal ang mukha ko pag medyo nalaos o nawawalan ng project baka pwede na din takbo sa politika. Ganun lang naman dito, basta sumikat ka lang sandali o pakitang gilas ka, makikilala naman ako, boto na agad! Oh for sure, panalo na. Wag lang siyempre tatakbo agad sa mataas na posisyon, simula lang muna sa mababa hanggang sa maging gahaman pataas!

Sarap naman ng ganun, madali lang lahat, mayaman pa at malakas pa ang kapit. Grabe, parang ang sarap nun. Kung nagkaproblema, may kakapitan ka agad at walang hirap, ok lang basta wag kalimutan ang utang na loob..

Kaso parang di ko kaya. Hahaha Nahirapan ako magsulat, parang di ko kasi naisip sa sarili ko maging ganun. May kaunti hiya naman ako lalo na kung sikat ang mga magulang mo at may mabuting pangalan talaga. Bakit ko pa sisirain yun di ba?

Pero may iba talaga.. Grabeh!!!!!

Wag tularan!

Unplanned 59

Sarap na maagang matatapos. Hahaha Pero taghirap. Hehe Ok lang, simple muna ang buhay, kaunting basa, just enjoying what I have and finishing this week. A busy week!

Pesteng Atlanta to, wala naman all star o kahit dominating player pero biglang eto, number one sa East at tanging team sa East na nakakatalo sa teams sa West except sa GSW. Yun ang sukatan kung gaano sila kalakas. Haha Game 5 naman mamaya, Alaska pa din yan! Don’t lose hope kahit sobrang lakas ng pesteng SMB. May magchoke diyan. Hahaha

=( Hay, eto hirap sa single eh, well not that everytime may wedding eh kaw yun natatawag sa games. Yun kantyaw ba na pag may kausap ka na single na babae, eh asar na crush na? Ano to HS? Hehehe Bwisit talaga, kakahiya well di sa kin yun sa babae siyempre na wala naman alam or even intention. Mahirap bang maging helpful or friendly or talkative sometimes? Erghh… Most of the time kasi, focused on work and anti-social. Introvert.

After work naman, wala na yun kagaya ng ginagawa ko ngayon. HeheAh, grabe talaga yun lamig ng panahon na to, di na kailangan pumunta ng tagaytay or Baguio. Pero isipin mo kung  pupunta ka pa sa mga lugar na yun, aba matindi ang lamig! Kamote talaga. Ok lang sa kin malamig pero wag naman buong araw na malamig! Hahaha Naiisip ko parang nasa UK ata ako. Kulang na lang maglagay ng water heater sa CR.

Ano pa ba.. Ah! Sana matuloy na yun laban ni Pacman! Feeling ko 75% chance ok na tong laban na to. Tignan talaga natin ang tibay at galing na si Gayweather este Mayweather. Hehe Nothing to lose naman si Pacman. Kasi pagnatalo naman siya, ok lang at least natuloy at mayaman ako. Pag nanalo siya, at least walang daya, malakas talaga siya, yumaman pa at higit sa lahat, napahiya pa si Mayweather. Hehe At for me, magiging number 3 si Pacman sa boxing all time greats. Not bad behind Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson di ba? Hehe Eh si Mayweather, pagnatalo, maraming mawawala sa kanya in terms of his legacy. Pero kung kapalit naman eh around $150 million, siguro pwede na. hahaha Pag nanalo siya, edi sige siya na magaling!

I pray that Pope Francis visit here will be blessed not only sa mga Catholics alike but for the whole nation. Yun lang. =) Grabe, pag baba sa eroplano, motorcade na! Medyo layo layo na sa Luneta area! Hahaha

Mastart na nga ang film fest! By this weekend siguro. Jdrama, natigil kasi pahinga ng new year, start na ng Winter season jdrama! Yosh!

Speaking of films, well Oscar’s eh maganda ang race kasi walang sure win except sa Best Actress siguro which is Julianne Moore at oo nga pala J.K Simmons for Supporting Actor. Others eh race to the awards na. Mapanood nga yun Boyhood. Hehe

I can’t believe gitna na ko ng month, lampas na kalahati ang blog target ko for this month, good sign na bumabalik na ko sa pagsusulat. Haha Other things, nagsisimula na gaya ng reading books. Then yun mga susunod eh masisimula ko na din sa wakas. Wala na delay kasi sa sakit or events, weddings. Delay lang, siguro sa pera. Hehehe

Ano pa.. Hmmmmm Sana may internet access pa mamaya!

Ah, after this first quarter.. I want to see some sunshine. =) 

what if..

Que horror! Anyway, meaning what if they still rule for another well almost a lifetime. I don't know, maybe there is a lot of possibilities can happen..

First, we'll speak fluent, or perfect spanish. Even I don't put as a first love other language, spanish is like almost chinese.. I mean a lot of countries speak spanish and it's a good language to learn or even to speak. Amor! 

Second, a chance perhaps visit Spain. Well, I don't know the great places in Spain but it's looks like Italy but it is lived by Spanish people. I don't know but with the films I watched about spain or just pictures, it looks rustic but with a classic touch. 

Third, I don't know how the Spanish people treat us or example ah foreigners. As much times changed, I don't know if they will be still tyrannical or discriminating if they still own us. For my opinion, it's 50/50. Unlike British who well treat their colony after some time, I don't know with Spanish. Unlikely maybe?

Fourth, ah! Of course, despite their government has somewhat parliamentary type, correct me if I'm wrong, but we are still under the King's power. Which made them, strong at first but in the new millenia including these past years, they kinda sunk financial due to their own beleaguered crisis. They were not stable and you may blame the government or the monarch alone, but you should blame them all perhaps. So, if that happens to them, easily we'll be affected. Just a hunch.

Another, our culture will be definitely gone. I mean, I like our culture except for that procrastination, but our food, even our language or even our provincial culture will be or sadly, not preserve. It depends with the government, or maybe they'll allow us to keep it but it's also 50/50. 

Despite what their government or their Monarch have failed today, come to think of it, if they are our rulers, we'll have better infrastructure, or yet, we are part of EU?! Yeah right.. 

I'm thinking a lot of possibilities but one factor will stand out, we'll be mixed with a very, utterly, beautiful race! hahahahaha Men and women, darn right! Spanish people, simply one of the great looking people in the world.  I'm thinking what if I look spanish. =)

Not only beautiful race but also physically, I mean we could have somebody to compete for olympics or football and yeah, basketball! Come to think of it, we'll have pinoy players in Euroleague, 

olympics and better yet NBA?!

No está nada mal , una ilusión

Ring! Ring!

(QC)

part one

Well, well it's my hometown. Homecourt.. My turf. Yet, it's only the second place for the best BPO/Call centers to work with. A decade ago, I have no idea that this place will be a great business zone for this industry. 

A decade passed, and now it's buying or almost attracting other BPO companies to stay put in this place. What more if the Quezon City business district is up in the 5 years, then we might compete to other cities such as Makati or BGC. 

Let's start.. It's been a long time that I've haven't writing here in this place. hehe I already thought of 5 places in QC that I can say bustling places now because of the BPO industry. Let's start with Farview, oops, Fairview!

Fairview is a big place but I don't want to live here because it's really far and at night, quite dangerous going out here, especially if you are going to work. However, few companies have the courage to put some centers here.

AFNI - this call center is located well, at commonwealth ave. but going to fairview. Their site was used to be one of the CVG's sites but since CVG expanded and moved, somebody occupied their center. I have no idea what accounts to they have but according to their ads, well they are looking for inbound and outbound reps. So, I'm guessing, they have US Accounts. Stability, can't say yet because they only showed up in a year.. Simply I don't trust them yet.  

Robinson's Fairview - Teletech has one site here, I don't know if it still there or not, but when I worked with them in a short time, I'm seeing people recognized in the bulletin board the employees from this site. What I know is they have tech accounts, not sure if it's HP or Kodak. But I'm sure they have a US account and they have dayshift schedules. Since I came here already I mean, teletech but from the different site, just find another site or job. However if you are so near here, well, if you can live with their small rate or hope that your rate will be added with a premium then go for it. However just be careful as it happened before... This site with all the agents got robbed one time. Even it happened one time, well just be careful, especially the outskirts of Fairview.

SM Fairview - Yes, a call center inside a mall. However I don't know which part of the mall is their center. But anyway, Teleperformance has a site here and they have an account that is quite familar. Telstra SMB. Hmmmmm That's what I felt when reading their ads and from Teletech as well as that time we are competing with different sites and centers, I saw this center's name. Definitely, rate is high and it's morning sked but from my place? it's quite expensive going from my home to this site. Besides, handling Telstra's account is not only toxic but also complicated. What's more you are handling SMB type of accounts. Geez. Forget it. hehe

A short stop for this one.

Next one we will go around and see QC.
