Sa totoo, kinakabahan ako sa Monday kasi apply na for work! hahaha For now, wow, tapos ang blogs for 2 months, feel the rush talaga! 

This month, naextend ang pagiging NEET. I'll explain that later. At napasobra ang pahinga. Pasaway talaga ko this month, not only well not working but sa ibang bagay din. Kailangan na talaga magadjust at higit sa lahat, start into something new. This month is more of a breathing excercise. Inhale and exhale lang. Bahay, nood ng jdrama, sulat dito at doon.. Mag mukmok at magisip at gawain bahay. Damn, naisip ko, I'm too old for this.

Anyway, moving on and now I'm back to start, zero, beginning, simula. Wah!!! Ubos na ang 2TB. Grabe.. Buti na lang may kasunod na HDD, kaso well, I need a real back up na. Meaning all my files at take note di pa ko nagbubura ng mga ibang files na dapat wala na, naka 2TB na ko at lalampas pa. Kamote talaga. hehe 

I admit, I still have the fear pero next week, time to face the fear. Staying away sa email, FB and others gave me a breather.. Gusto ko sana lumayo talaga pero, no budget. hehe 

Mabuti tapos na ang May at pasok na ang start ng Rainy Season.. No more pawisan days.. I really hate the scorching heat!! Pero yun lang, Lord sana wag naman o wala na parang Glenda ha. Parang awa nyo na. hehe Ah, yeah, June na, birthday month na. I'm thinking that let's  make a regular day lang ang araw ko. Sabagay, as years passing by, kaunti lang naman bumabati sa kin. hahaha Ano ba to, nagpahint pa ko. Pero, yeah, masubukan nga, lalo ngayon, broke pa. 

Let's see what June can bring.. Lucky month perhaps? 

Bilis naman matapos ang limang buwan. =(

broken lines (collection 54)

For long so months passed by, I felt such haze.
Wrong assumptions, bad decisions, pass through..
All of the sudden, I thought I'm full dazed!
Asking, searching and looking for senses.

Thy questions arises in front of me, 
answers that seems cannot connect through thee!
Somewhere I can find, somehow I can look.
Alas! Such blank state left me in the dark..

I asked myself, "Where thou should I go to?"
I stay put in an oblivion, that time..
I did nothing.

Yet.

broken lines (collection 53)

Ikaw ay isang Lourdesian,
inaabangan ang retreat, dahil di lang  makakabakasyon na ilang araw..
Malalaman ang lahat-lahat sa inyo mga kaklase!
At higit sa lahat, kanyang kanya ang kalokohan! hehe

Ikaw ay isang Lourdesian,
pag field trip na, maaga naghahanda at isip na kung sino makakatabi!
Walang iniisip kung mag enjoy at maglibot libot..
Bonding sa kanyang kanya barkada.

Ikaw ay isang Lourdesian,
bagot na bagot pag pagraduation na, dahil puro practice!
Kanta dito, san pwesto ng upuan at higit sa lahat..
Huling araw makakasama ang iyong mga kaklase.
Masaya dahil tapos na, malungkot dahil may mga kaibigan kang malalayo sa iyo..

Salamat sa pagiging Lourdesian,
dahil kahit pinagkakamalan na taga Manda ka, nagmumukhang mas magaling ka kaysa mga taga Manda. Peace! hehe
Magaling sa math, kahit di naman magaling nung HS, at iba pang subject na akalain mo dahil sa hirap na pinagdaanan namin sa QC..
Magaling kami sa college! 

Salamat sa pagiging Lourdesian,
kahit nabully ako nung HS, pagdating sa college, halos di na ko nabully..
Naging medyo sikat pa sa classroom at ehem, napalapit pa sa lalo sa mga babae, kahit di naman coed sa batch namin! hahaha

Salamat sa pagiging Lourdesian,
mas marami ako naging kaibigan nung college pero sa HS ako nakilala ang mga malalapit at tunay na kaibigan. Kahit tatlo lang sila, pero sa pagtanda, isa sila sa aking kinakapitan..
Kahit di naman ko malapit sa kanila nung HS, naging malapit lang dahil sa pagaalala ng mga araw sa Lourdes!

Salamat sa pagiging Lourdesian,
di ko alam kung ang iba eh napahalaga ito,
pero dahil sa Catholic and Christian values na tinuro, kahit napalayo ako ng landas..
di ko nakalimutan mapadaan sa simbahan, magdasal na taimtim at lumingon sa GS grounds...

Napapasaya kahit papano, na ako pala, talagang isang Lourdesian!

Siyempre, daan daan din sa HS at Aling Lourdes.. =)

classics: Mad Max: Fury Road

12 hours later, after watching this flick, I realize, it's a reboot! I'll explain below. It's over, this is the film of the year! haha Well, I know there are still great films to show this year, not to mentioned Star Wars (not a fan anymore).  

A little introduction, if you are indeed a movie fan, especially if you start watching films at the 80's... There was a trilogy you shouldn't miss, at least the 2 films or at least the one film, the Mad Max trilogy! First was Mad Max, second was the Road Warrior (one of the best action flicks) and then the longest title in the series, Mad Max: Beyond the Thunderdrome.. I just don't like that one. My oldest brother really likes until this day. Geez.. 

Well, for those who missed those films, after watching this new film, I advise, forget the first trilogy, you can watch that later! Or if you are tired watching those films, just watch Road Warrior. 

If I'm going to do a full study about this film compare to the first trilogy, it will be a long post. I don't want to that, especially at this present state of mine. However, I'll make this short as possible. But definitely, an instant classic!
I ranked this film already at my top 10 best action flicks lists. I haven't fixed that list for now but I'll do it in the future once I watched all the films I could muster.  Action flicks of course.. Let's say, if Road Warrior was like number 4, Fury Road is number 5. I can't separate them. hehe 

There are only two reasons why I put Road Warrior better than Fury Road and mind you, it's not about the technical aspect. First of all, yes, despite the title and Tom Hardy is Max, well, he is not lead of the film. Of course, he did a great part for the film but his story was abrupt and Furiosa's plot kicks in until the end. It's not really a bad thing, actually it's a great thing that George Miller did, but when Max said his prelude, you are exited to see him what the hell is he doing. But, well, let's wait for the sequel. 

Second factor which is the deal breaker, Mel Gibson as Max. I mean, when you watch Road Warrior, despite Max is only helping or the supporting character, his presence and his actions were the driving force of the story. Don't forget the great acting despite, few dialogues for him. He also showed that depth in his emotions in the film. There were the reasons I put this film better than Fury Road.

Everything else, well, even the technical side are going to this film. Fantastic! First thing I loved is the cinematography used. I mean, despite it's apocalyptic theme, I mean it lookg gorgeous and there are some scenes just I want to stare, like the first scene. It also helped showing the every detail of the film, from their home base, then the wide shots of the desert and car chases, even the cliffs and mountains.. Astonishing shots indeed! How about that storm scene? Despite it has CGI effects, wow, it is breath taking! I don't how in IMAX looks like. 

Second, the cast! Charlize Theron never fails to suprise me. I mean in that film million ways to die in the west, she has comedic chops and she made Mad Max at the same time, turn into an action heroine! Wow, I mean Furiosa's character is simple actually. While I was watching, I am thinking other promising actresses can do that but when it comes to action fight scenes with deep emotion acting, few can do that and Charlize is really fit for this character. Physically and emotional aspect. Tom Hardy being Max is a great fit. Even not better on what Mel did, I mean it's because of the plot went... Despite being Bane at least for 15 mins, he is perfect for Max. He is shown as one Mad or crazy and at the same time, the stunts he did are insane and great. At last, there is a Tom Hardy film that showcases his physical prowess and at the same time, acting ability. I already saw some of his films and when it comes to acting, he delivers. Then the rest of the cast which mostly Australian, also delivers especially the Immortan Joe and the old ladies backup at the end. Don't forget the wives and even the odd looking henchmen. How about unrecognizable Nicholas Hoult? Wow, what a lovely performance! hehe Even, he met a sad end. 

Third, sounds are top notch! Not only a visual treat but also the sound theme and the crashes and effects are just perfect cue! I'm in the edge of my seat because of the sounds and OST used. Don't forget the guitarist with flame thrower and the drum machine team. hehe Junkie XL indeed, I must say he can be like Trett Reznor. But we'll see if he can still do that in other types of films. Great DJ, I mean most DJ's now doing these music themes from Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers and others.. Great development! 

Fourth and most importantly, the insane, crazy, shocking action scenes put in film! Over the top car chases which indeed surpassed the Road Warrior. Evidence? The first chase scene, I mean that alone is way better than the Road Warrior and it doesn't include yet Max! That's how great this film is. I haven't even discussed the rest of the action scenes. Wow.. Even that night scene, it has that suspense factor and that tough ending. I mean I want to see how Max defeated that car but well, cut short. I hope it shows in home release. Great job by George Miller who, made a great effort of using more practical effects and very minimal CGI. The 150 million budget is damn well spent. I hope he'll definitely finish the remaining two films, all the fans are waiting to have his done. Give credit to the costume designer of the film. I mean, great looking, neat and scary! hehe I love that white war boy theme and of course, reimagined Max.

So, let's go to say why it's Mad Max. It has all the recipes as being Mad Max. Well, at least at this Mad Max, you can say he is Mad. Seeing visions of people and his grown old daughter?! Yes, unlike in the original Mad Max, he has a kid and wife killed. Not a somewhat teenage daughter. Always running from bandits in his interceptor and every relying saw off shotgun. The dog is gone. How it became a reboot? 

First, I already said the child thing. Second, it's not only gas that is running out, also water and there is already a Warlord or self proclaim God, which is Joe. Second, the looks of the people, it looks like there was a nuclear war or radiation.. Many deformaties and scary looks. Although Max still walks fast in one leg and still not sociable. Damn, when we will see a Mad Max film that he did use that shotgun. In this film, he already used the other guns, even that flare gun but not the shotgun and ended up broke! I hope in the next film, he can use one to blast off one head! hehe

Of course, his trademark interceptor! In all films, ah sorry, except for the first one which it did not end up in wreck. This film, it was not only wrecked but also exploded. Sorry for the spoiler! But I hope in the next film, we can see Max raming or racing his interceptor against those bad dudes. I don't know how to drive but it's just that interceptor has that aura. Darn, blame that Road Warrior shown in my early years..

Well, the next one I'll wait is Spectre, the new James Bond film. The other flicks even Star Wars, no thanks. I'll just wait this film in Blu Ray release.. Can't wait to see this in full glory! It made Fast and Furious films hmmmm for kids? 

But great thing for George to reboot the story in more scary and interesting wasteland scenario.. Kudos to him.

By the way, if Mel Gibson did this in 2003, I mean if George indeed push this through way back then, witht he same set up of this film. That I can say, the best action film of all time. Epic indeed. But we have this, better than never.. Damn, I should have watched this in IMAX!

".... it is hard to know who is more crazy, me or everyone else.."

Yabu v Katsu Sora

I'm quite privileged that I've tried eating in these restaurants. Tried their specialty which is of course, japanese pork cutlet, Tonkatsu sets. What's for sure, those are the times I really felt full after eating their respective sets.

I tried first Katsu Sora at Trinoma branch. They open at 11am onwards and definitely, go early as they offer eat all you can salads and rice. I ordered the Sakura set they called, their cheapest pork style of tonkatsu. It includes of course, the pork set and unlimited rice and salads with fruits as well.
I can say, the tonkatsu is really great, it melts in my mouth! That's how great it is. I can't imagine the taste of their expensive selections of tonkatsu. I also love their salad selections, from potato salad, fresh ones and chicken as well! It's so great that I was not able to taste the other salads. I think, I ate more salads than the rice and tonkatsu meal. I'm so full that I end up not finishing the tonkatsu and giving it to Gerro at home. 600 plus pesos meal is well spent.. Indeed.

After watching that hell of a ride Mad Max: Fury Road, I decided to enjoy at least with these free days... My best friend Rheg recommend to eat at this resto, which I did not have time or even money to try. hehe This is the right time to do it.

Due to watching a lot of japanese these days, I want to try curry. I ordered for the Japanese Curry Tonkatsu set! Of course, I tried once before at the other resto but it's not has that many meat. Then, they taught me how to well, make the tonkatsu sauce. Free tutorial plus explanation of their set. Great service! Then, I've waited for quite some time and here it was.. The tonkatsu curry set looks big! I mean, that serving I feel I can't finish them all right away! Then the cabbage plus the miso soup as well. By the way, the soup, cabbage and some fruits and pickles, unlimited! Of course, I tried the soup first then the organic cabbage with that delicious Japanese Mayo, I'm happy. Then after some servings, I went to the main dish.. I must say, that's a great japanese curry, and the rice is so damn great. I wish I have that kind of rice at home. 

After that serving, I focused of eating more of the cabbage and soup and the fruits and I'm just enjoying eating. I can't imagine, I'll eat a lot of those then  the tonkatsu curry is so delicious, I ordered another rice filling. I also ended up not really finishing the katsu and gave to Gerro at home. 
For short, those two restaurants gave me indeed a happy and fulling experience!

The simple question is; who is better? I know with my experience stated above might give a difficult answer. For me, it's easy to pick one because of the overall experience I had.

Katsu Sora was great, I mean they have that pork melts in your mouth and those Salads are still damn great! Almost taste my mom's well, known salad but not that same type. However, two things kinda let down on me for them. First was self service, it's hard to do that especially if you are alone eating. My bad that I should have sit beside in that buffet instead. Another thing, service is just good, not great as Yabu really have time to discuss how the sauce works and the eat all you can thing. Here, they discussed the sauce when I'm almost done. The other thing bothered me was the price. 600 pesos with service charge, for me was a bit steep. I need to do a lot than they did, which serve water and just looking at the people. If they add the service charge, then better serve the salad to the customers instead. Great thing they have better taste of tonkatsu and salad, if not, they are just out of their minds. But definitely, some time in the future, I'll come back for those other salads/fruits that I haven't tried. 

The answer is here. Yabu! I mean, I spent 550 bucks, remember, with the set, and iced tea with service charge! Despite well, the katsu is slight lower than Katsu sora when it comes to taste, but still it tastes great, the service is fantastic. I'm also lucky that I sat right beside the condiments and waiters section. They have time to tell the sauce, explain the menu and the eat all you can. Even Katsu Sora has better salads, I'm quite happy with the cabbage and fruits. Next time, I should order the set with their house salads than the refillable iced tea. hehe 

Service is just made my stay great as they are approachable and helpful. I don't mind asked 3 times for more rice and stuff. =) If I did not order that ice tea, 450 is really like the others say, bang for buck! 

It doesn't mean Katsu Sora is bad, they just need to really change that system and they will be better than Yabu. For Yabu, well, I hope they offer that salad in a more resonable one or include in the set itself. But other things, just stay what they do and they are good. 

Thinking about these 2 restaurants makes me hungry again for Tonkatsu! Hai! 

Stay Faithful

Well, at last, I almost going to finish ng isang series sa the feast for the long time. Parang 1 and a half year ako nawala kahit nakakapunta ako pero not that regularly like 4 years ago.

Yes, 4 years na ko, and kahit may nawala, nabago, nakuha at nadapa at ano pa man.. Nandito pa din ako sa The Feast PICC. Can't believe it! Thank Jesus. hehe Actually sa mga nangyari sa kin for the past months, naisip ko na lumipat ng location.. Not sa community, maybe due to economical purposes or my own convenience.. Pero in the end, nandito pa din ako.. Sa first session at the PICC. Wow, I just don't know why I'm still going back. God has indeed some plans for me this year. Maybe just stay put at this session.

I admit that for the past years eh talagang nagfocus ako masyado to improve my skills or even planning ahead. I became selfish and quite arrogant din. Pero, in the end, I just failed after these hard fought months. Lahat ng yun nangyari at ano ano pa, nagpapasalamat pa din ako kay Lord na nandito ako, at ok pa din ang mga tao sa palagid ko. Ako lang ata nagkasakit. hahaha 

Of course, marami ako babalikan at makabawi din. Pero I'll start here, time for God and parang first time nga ulit ako. hahaha Parang first time, lalo na wala na ko makita or balita sa mga kaCG ko dati. Geez, sobrang busy ako at I lost touch sa mga kasama ko dati. I missed those days, so parang looking forward ako na start again and maybe, for real.. Serve na. 

It is so refreshing, to see na this Feast PICC going bigger as every year comes. Akalain mo 5 sessions na after 4 years! At siyempre, it goes wider na din with more locations. I don't have a suggestion when it comes management or the services itself, I just pray na they continue on what they are doing at lalo na improve. Of course, always ask Him for blessings, grace at guidance na din for this community. I sound simplistic these days, I have reasons for that. I just want to get back in all basic aspects, spiritually is the most important part. 

This year, sabi daw yun mga ox babies eh medyo buenas. Sa nangyayari sa kin inside and out, parang hindi. But what I believe, this is the time, which I need Him the most. Yes, the real Light.. Jesus! =)

What If..

(computer science ang take ko instead of BA)

That's a big if! hahaha Siguro kung ganun... 10 years na ko nagwowork sa isa o dalawang IT company. hehe Paano kung pumasa ako sa second choice ko na com sci! Malamang sa old building ako mapupunta at malamang din... Sorry to sound offensive, malamang puro geeks kasama ko dun. hahaha At yes, malamang tag tuyot dun. Although ang college of science masasabi ko na medyo quality ang mga lady students dun. Yun nga lang ang quantity, ehem. hehe For short, mas ok pa sa building namin. haha

Kaso, yun lang naisip ko, puro aral ito. Malamang ang mga kaklase ko, kaunti lang yun pakwela unlike sa BA. Pero mas gusto ko kasi yun computer science or programming, transforming into a computer geek of sorts and mostly memorize na ang computer and basic programming ng mga languages. Bonus hacking skills pa. hahaha Sarap nun, siguro naman may kalaro naman ako sa computer games noon. Unlike sa BA, counterstrike lang at NBA live lang mga pwede kalaro ko. 

Siyempre, ang problema ko mga subjects siguro puro science! I admit at nasabi ko naman kaya di ako pumasa dito eh 73 ang score sa science entrance exam eh. hehehe So physics saka malamang yun lang. Bad trip baka puro physics ang mga subject dito! 

Eh kung ang lab puro pang computer, kaya na! ahahaha pasado na to kahit hanggang thesis.. That's how I love computers. Geez.. Baka nga today apps na binubuo ko which is not possible. What else, hmmmm malamang college pa lang may computer na ko or laptop. 2006 ata ako nagkaroon ng sariling computer! hehe So pag computer science eh magastos sa una, sa huli parang hindi. Unlike sa BA, puro gastos!!!! Lalo na pagraduating na!

About the uniform, sa ladies ok lang, sa guys like me, mas respetado.. I mean, kaysa naman sa uniform namin na parang PSG di ba? hahaha Hmmmm malamang dahil puro aral ito, kaunti lang un mga good time. Mukhang yun ang mamiss ko! Umaga pa lang, inuman na o bilyar na. hahaha At gimikan din sa gabi. Mukhang di ko kaya mawala yun ha. Pero malay mo, nasa loob din ang kulo ang mga might have been com sci classmates. 

Ah oo nga pala, malamang kaunti lang kami, unlike sa BA na kilala ko lahat ng pang umaga, kaunti sa hapon at mayroon pa sa gabi. Pero malamang close ko lahat ng kabatch kasi kaunti lang naman. 

Ang tanong eh, magiging close friends ko lahat gaya sa BA? That's a big if.. I don't know or don't have a clue kung sino yun mga kaklase mo. CRAP malamang nandun pa din lalo na si Doc kabuilding ko. hehe Pero marami kaya ako friends niyan? 

Well, di ko masabi kung magiging masaya ako kung talagang natuloy ako dun pero ang sure eh...


Masaya naman ako nang galing ako BA. =)

jdorama: Ghost Writer

Actually, napadaan lang ako sa series na to. Marami pang series yun inaabangan ko at the start of this year pero napadaan na ko dito. Saka eto yun series na mabilis magupload ng raw at subs sa mga streaming sites. hehe Saka interesting na din yun story, about sa novel writing.

Tono Risa ay isang successful na novelist, most of her books were hits except yun mga recent novels niya. Pressure na yun publishing company sa kanya to come up with a great novel or else.. Kawahara Yuki is promising writer, she has skills at lagi siya sinasabihan na pwede siya gumawa ng novel kaso di siya makapagdebut, di siya nanalo sa contest. Of course, idol niya si Risa which made her into writing. 

Then, Yuki submitted her new piece sa editor at nagustusan niya yun work kaso ayaw pa ipublish as advised ng editor in chief. Dahil naghahanap na ng assistant si Risa, eh kumuha siya at nagkataon na dahil yun editor eh friend din niya, Yuki was referred na maging assistant ni Risa.. Then, that were the chaos began!

I thought, intially na 8 episodes lang siya kasi sa gitna parang fast forward na pero well natapos siya in 10 episodes. Ang galing nung unang scene na parehas si Yuki at Risa halos ng suot tapos nagsasabunutan sa gabi, umuulan. hehe I was curious after that. 

After the series, hmmmm una ko napansin na not good about the series eh una, sana pinakita man lang yun mga novels or paano naging magaling silang writers. They show those visuals or reception ng tao or sales, but not really how they write. Sabagay, you can show naman that they are typing at yun mga visuals na katakana pero sana may scene na pakita about the book. Re-enactment kung baga. Di naman mahaba yun, pero malamang tipid sila. hehe Isa pa, ok yun na plot, ayoko ko lang yun point na after nila magsiraan, sakitan at bad stuff, bigla sa huli, sorry for the spoilers, magsama sila to make a great novel. Ok sana yun, kaso agad agad. Sana pinatagal nila ng taon. hehehe Well, yun love interest or fiance ni Yuki sana yun na lang nakatuluyan niya, kaso nagbreak at yun editor na gusto siya eh wala lang, di na nag grow. Sayang. Actually, more on plot holes talaga saka rush na to. hehe

What stands out naman is the cast. Bagay yun cast for the stars, dito pala nagstart ang paghanga kay Mizukawa Asami and Nakatani Miki. Miki is perfect as Risa na sobrang perfectionist and fragile din. Pinakita niya yun at favorite ko was yun scene na nasusunog na yun inn, eh nagpaiwan siya, ayaw niya na talaga mabuhay kasi sa mga nangyayari sa kanya. Galing ng acting niya dun. Asami as Yuki, well, not perfect pero just right for her role. Although split ang time ni Risa at Yuki, I can't say na sino bida or kontrabida eh galing pa din ang ginawa niya, made her presence felt saka nadevelop niya yun character na from hopeless writer, to a great ghost writer at yun na bully na siya ng press hanggang ending. Dahil sa role na yun, hinanap ko yun ibang series niya. hehe Then yun ibang cast, just right except sa editor na friend ni Yuki. That character was confusing at irritating but great thing, well important siya sa story. Malaki silbi niya. hehe Another actors stand out eh si Nanao, iba talaga dating niya kahit maliit role niya and Tanaka Tesushi, lagi na lang effective yun role niya. Every jdrama na nakikita ko siya, magaling siya. Baka inspired na din, asawa ba naman na ni Nakama Yukie eh. hehe Ah don't forget the catchy intro song. 

Saka nagustusan ko din ang plot. Lalo na about writing and how they decide, grabe new writer's contest.. Parang wala naman dito na ganun. I mean mayroon pero di naman lagi. Kaya parang kahit very competitive sa japan for being a writer, at least publishing companies giving out a chance sa lahat di ba. Saka, parang ok yun ganun buhay ha.. Just write, and if it's a hit, then rest! Write again pag may naisip ka na at deadline pa. Hmmmm Parang ok nga yun ha.

Anyway, there were a lot better series than this one for this season pero I enjoyed watching at waiting for each episode. Mag ghost writer na lang kaya ako? At least, I won't be dealing that fuzz and hassle sa gossips. Pero naisip ko..

Lugi nga pag ghost writer. Better to write on your own under your name. Not write for other's well being. Look at Yuki at Risa, sa huli, sila din ang lugi.

crushes: Arci Muñoz

Mukhang matagal na ko di nagsusulat tungkol sa mga crushes ko. hehe Old geezer me! Pero di ibig sabihin siya na yun pinakamaganda Filipina all time. Marami pa diyan, at yes, di pa kasama yun mga classic pinay beauty. Nauna lang siya kasi bwisit na commercial sa channel 2 tungkol dun sa bagong show niya. Channel 2 na pala siya. Kakatawa kasi one of the reason I'm sometimes surfing sa channel 5 eh dahil sa kanya. Sad that she transferred. =(

First I saw her, ah isang show sa TV 5 dati, and always just looking at that almost perfect spanish face. Lagi din naman namiss ko kung ano pangalan niya. Then, thanks sa google, I found her name! Ramona Cecilia Datuin Muñoz is her real name and it sounds, very, I mean very old school pre. =) Great thing may screen name siya.

Ang nakakagulat sa kanya, well besides na matangkad, maputi and that well, spanish face, which is almost perfect eh she sings in a hardcore metal band called Philia. I hope I can see one of their gigs. It's like a different side or parang kakashock na ganun ang trip niya! I mean, it's rare that those kind of beautiful women well loves that kind of music. Anyway, other than that, I can say she can act. I watched one of her episodes, yun show ni Derek Ramsey in TV5, ibang show to. I forgot that freaking show. Ah! Action show na parang detective tong si Derek, Arci playing sort of wife ata that looking for her missing hubby. I mean she is not only looks great as a simple wife pero yun acting na medyo lost siya because of what happened, eh pwede na. Well, I was suprised she's a graduate of UP ata, or at least nagaral sa UP. Cool! Then add mo pa ang singing talent. I was also surprised that she was with GMA dati! I did not really notice that. Grabe ang GMA 7, they collect all the great looks talaga. Magaling magscreening. hehe

Well, there are things I'm worried siyempre sa career niya. First, as much she is very talented, di naman siya exposed in other media. I hope she has at least commercials or print model. She can a model nga without really acting because of that great looks. Also, nothing against Philia, but yes, more gigs or exposure kasi she can well, forget the option of exposure sa modelling then just stick with this band thing as she is enjoying it. 

Darn, eto talaga sayang, sana sumali siya sa mga beauty pageants. I'm reading some of the news about her, and sayang,  over the age limit na siya. I mean, her presence at dating eh may chance di lang manalo kung hindi better represent our country sa international competitions! Di lang siya, maraming artista na kala nila walang dating sa pageant pero naisip ko, mas bagay sila sa ganun. 
Most important thing as well, she needs to do... Appear in movies! Well, I saw her that cooking movie, no offense pero I hope she just appeared in other movies. That's how bad that movie is and I just stayed because she's into it. hahaha Sorry. 

Pero di naman niya kasalanan kung bakit di siya kilala masyado. I mostly blame her manager, and ehem mukhang kilala pala ang manager na yun. 

Anyway, nakakabighani talaga siya and I just hope for the best! May pagkacomedy din siya ha. I mean I saw an ad sa isang mall about a beauty clinic and siya yun model.. There was like a before and after phase, at tinignan ko mabuti, para naman walang nagbago. hahaha I mean before, although may kaunting blemishes pero yun after pic niya, parang wala naman nagbago. Grabe, with no make up?! Maganda pa din siya. Funny ad. hehe

I stayed looking that ad for couple of minutes and left..

What a beautiful lady indeed! =) Arci, nice yet weird nick name. Parang softdrinks lang!

I hope she won't quit acting. 

Ring! Ring!

QC

part three

The next part in QC I want to discuss, is the kinda new built around 5 years ago, cool name as well.. UP Technohub! UP owns the land but with a collaboration with Ayalaland, they set up this land for BPO offices and at the same time, kinda research or development center with UP. Until now, I haven't see that part really.

Anyway, let's start going around into this place and see which centers are here.

At the middle, it's like a commercial center which it has restaurants and some stores all over it. Mostly restaurants but suprisingly it has timezone, CDR king and of course, BPI. I forgot, they have Globe Store and Power Mac if I'm correct.. If its not there, I'm sorry. hehe

The food restaurants located here are not bad really! KFC, Yellow Cab, Mister Kabab and many more. At night, this spot has a high vehicle traffic because cars are here because it's the only way I guess they can go around. It's great here because my favorite convenient stores are here, Family Mart and Mini Stop!

Not bad for an appetizer..

PointWest - Interesting office, it has a branch in citibank tower in Ayala. As the website says, it is a local IT firm which caters global clients through IT services. I tried their prelimary exam and I can say, I should really study word problems way back high school. Geez.. That is my weakness and I failed that pest, sorry test. But at my brief stay there, wow.. Cool IT office, spacious desk, flexi time and most of all, IT stuff! I hope I could improve my word math problems skills so I can try my witts again in this firm. I don't know how much they earn though.

Manulife - A leading global insurance company. It shows in the name right? hehe Don't be confused the Manulife in Ayala Ave.. That is their local office, I mean it caters the local customers. This one in UP is for inhouse outsource functions and what I heard, they mostly cater US LOBs. It means, their workshift is at night. I'm not sure if their compensation package became higher coz when I applied before, it's quite small. It's like working in EPLDT again and no increase whatsoever. I'm not sure if they still pay that much today but one thing is for sure, their test is fun to answer.

For now, let's breathe and stop for a while at this part of Technohub.

Don't worry, this site is enormous! hehe

ReView

Too late for a review, 19 days later after last month. For the past weeks, eh just be loose at eto, back to normality. At least. Anyway, to sum up last month, it was chaotic for me. Tiring at higit sa lahat, I was shocked. All of the sudden, parang biglang ayoko na.

I can say, it's one of the dumbest moves pero after taking that leap, eh ok naman. I'll just think of other ways. More ways and better ways siguro. I was wrong all the time. However, it's my fault. Pagkakamali ko din.

Of course, I did hurt some people due to this pero I had no other choice as everybody around me or even me, starting to crumble. Naisip at naramdaman ko din na talagang may mali, at worse, after ko umalis eh parang may after effects pa. I don't know, that's what I felt. 
Natapos na at ngayon, kaunti lang options ko just to survive. But thanks to some support eh motivated ako to do work pa. I just need to work fast and enough of being NEET for sometime. hehehe

Anyway, sa ibang post na lang yun. Sa ngayon, masarap makahinga na maluwag. Kahit may takot, eh nakapahinga naman pagkatapos na lahat. It's time to go back to the real work. 
April, was really, let's say, searching month. Searching for the right path, or even sa crisis eh time to think how to survive and live the right way. 

Failure was hard. Pero di ko naman ako makakaluwag if I did not fail.. I accept it and well...

Back to square one. 

Avengers: Age of Ultron

After watching for 2 and a half hours, the first thing I felt, it's kinda mixed feelings! It's great and worse. But not like when you watched transformers movies these years. It's great because of the visual spectacle I saw including the heroes really come alive again. Thor, Iron Man, Cap America, Hulk and the 2 nuisance heroes of Black Widow and Hawkeye. I called them nuisance maybe due to the lack of superhero ability. Then the twins of course, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver (Avengers mode not Xmen mode), welcome additions of course and necessary. Don't forget Ultron and the surprise late addition of Vision!

The great things happened in this film were as follows.. First, besides of the cool looking heroes, how about the great action sequences in this sequel! I love the sequences which the heroes teaming their powers, like Cap and Thor move! Great team move.. Then Black Widow picking up things and just running and talking plus taming the Hulk. I forgot the other team ups. Sorry. hehe Anyway, the best scene and really stands out even I hoped it was for the great final battle, Hulk versus Iron Man in a hulkbuster suit. That's the reason it was called hulkbuster suit. That scene made me breathless and at the same time, just gave me a smile at the end. I wonder how much they funded that scene. 

Another great factor, give credit to Joss Whedon for making this film awesome despite I felt it was made in a rushed pace. I mean with the Marvel set the release date and sorts, he still made this film in a grand way putting all the stuff and still looks great even with some flaws. I commend how the pace he set in this film, no dull moments, and how the interaction of the characters made sense. Despite the action sequences were not that fantastic, he showed it in detail every second until it finishes. For short, its not dizzy despite a lot of CGI, like transformers or the recent Furious 7. CGI effects were polished and not you can say rushed. Give also credit for Joss that he gave up directing this film. It's not I hate or did not like what he did for the 2 avengers flicks, but it's just the pressure and expectations for the next Avengers will be so high that I want to get out of it, if I'm Joss. Geez, take a break and give it to somebody else. Besides, he admits, this film really drained him out. It's also great opportunity for the new directors to think and at the same time, well... Make every preparation successful until the infinity war starts. Great job by Joss! Thanks for making Avengers in the right way.

Lastly, don't forget the actors assembled for this film. Great to see Robert Downey, then Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett doing this despite being pregnant, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo and a lot more. James Spader did really a great job of being Ultron, great voice for the character. Notable actors, Andy Serkis as that dealer of vibranium if I got it right.. The twins of course, Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. From being a couple in Godzilla to siblings in Avengers, I feel, they are more fit as a couple. hehe They have that chemistry! Well, it's not what they did in Avengers was bad, but just a side note. They are better as a couple in films. That being said, almost all of them fit in their respective roles except maybe for the Korean doctor. She looks great and acted but it just well, they are other actresses can do that or can stand out. Still, great casting choice.

I admit that this film fell short of my expectations, and the first big flaw was the screenplay for this movie, it was rushed. First scenes came in then shown right away that they were raiding the hydra base. Geez, what a good start without a little explanation how they assembled again and discovered that base! That was fast! 

I do understand that Joss and his team needs to really change the story from the comic books for this film. Even I'm more interested for that plot, it's Ant Man's fault! If Ant Man was shown early, then this won't happen. Despite all that, Ultron was made through the smart moves by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. At that point, I can accept that, but when Ultron starts moving and developing, until reaches became Ultron, wow.. He just showed up and says I'm Mr. Smith and humans were virus and destroy them all. Wow, that was fast.. Despite Ultron looks great and kinda overacting because he moves like an android not a robot, that came so fast.  He was scary and menacing but no other qualities shown in this film. That comes when he was killed that easily. hehe Good job. 

Another thing, I hope instead of asteroid finishing the earth, how about finishing the Avengers instead, one by one. That is more cool that the usual asteroid or bomb destruction strategy. That's one of the reasons why the first really works well as Loki has a great plan and really made the Avengers give their all. In this one, I just got felt Ultron has a simple strategy and felt that final battle was a let down. Just save the people, stop Ultron and that's it. That was also rushed. 

The dialogue as well was not that expansive or fun. Although it was darker than the first one, it doesn't mean, from start to finish, it should have a dark tone. It can be darker in terms of what happened in this film, not removing the fun dialogue. I felt that in this film, it has the less fun than the first. Take a great example of Kingsmen, it has fun moments but really has also dark moments.  
Well, despite those flaws, I still love the film, just a shade below of the first one and yes, I love how Vision entered to the team, and looking forward more of him in the next films. Well, he is important anyway. hehe At last, after 5 films, we can see Paul Bettany. haha Great actor anyway. 

Great thing, I watched this for free,  so thanks for the eplus card. After many flicks I watched using that card, a great time to use the free movie pass!

Marvel, after this film, will have tougher challenges ahead. I feel, like my older brother's sense, that Ant Man will fail. I just don't feel something good at the film. I'll wait for the critics to see it first. Then, civil war comes next year which made to stop batman versus superman. I want to watch both films, no doubt, but I doubt if Civil War made for it's own way or just to neutralize Batman versus Superman. I hope, they just do it in a great way not for competing that other film. 

Great thing, they were able to deal with the Spiderman thing. However, that's not enough really to have a great build up for Infinity War. That won't entice me to watch Infinity War as most of the characters are not there. Namely, X-Men and Fantastic Four, which I know that's a small number but they are important in the war. They still have time to get the rights issue fixed but as long it's not possible, Infinity War will bomb big time. I hope Marvel thought of that before showing Thanos and the infinity gems. Geez, Marvel can just offer big money to Fox to allow the other characters they hold showing in that big war. 

If they are able to pull this off, then that's the best comic book adaptation film of all time. 

I won't be suprised if DC is more prepared than Marvel when it comes of doing the big heroes war set up. 

Sorry for the long review, I haven't write for a long time. =)
Sorry Avengers, I still put Kingsmen on top quality wise, until there is a mad man coming.. 

Jdorama: Amachan

Jejejeje!! haha Dito pala nakuha ang expression na yun! I mean, hanggang ngayon tuwing naririnig ko yun opening theme niya, natutuwa ako. I admit, I got addicted to this. I mean.. Well, noong bata ako siyempre TV lang naman ang kaadikan at kung malas malas, telenovela sinunod ko even spanish ones, Marimar perhaps. 
Korean came, well, Irene and Temptation of Wife which it has the same lead star, na kakagulat, may show siya ngayon sa umaga at same timeslot. Parang TV show lang siya lagi. But di ko naaddict to those Korean dramas except Endless Love one. Japanese came these days/months, well, hanggang shows lang naman ako and eiga. I have no idea about Asadora.. Until this show pops up sa drama sites. 

After some 5 episodes, ayun na, just this last Saturday, I finished 156! Yosh! hahaha In Japan, rarely talaga like Korean or other countries soap opera. Ang mahaba lang siguro sa kanila, variety shows, comedy shows, then detective series na Aibou ata name, 13th season na kasi which I have no idea at iba pa. Ah NHK lang ang kaya to produce 2 long TV shows, I mean pantapat sa soap opera pero parang di competitor. Taiga which is about old times ng Japan and samurai period or Edo time. Asadora is about a heroine, mostly female lead na may goal sa buhay tapos it evolves na dun, trials, problems, failures and always ending up sometimes happy and fun. May iba nabasa ko, sad ending pero happy lahat, for short namatay yun iba. Yun iba, parang simple lang. Anyway, thanks to drama wiki for that and wikipedia.

Ok, enough for that short intro. First time ako gagawa ng review about Jdorama, so please just have fun reading it or if not, thanks for reading it. I added this kasi, just a new stuff to write on. Anyway..
For the simple intro, ah Aki and her mom Haruko went back sa kanilang hometown na Kitasanriku kasi may nagbalita na nagkasakit si lolang Natsu.. Pero pagbalik nila, at nakita nila na si Natsu eh wala naman sakit at nakakadive pa sa tubig, parang nagtaka sila bakit sila pinapunta dun.. That's how the story goes and a lot things happened, let's say Aki did a lot of things she wanted to. Pero very happy ending! 

Of course, some faults of the series.. Pero minor lang, sana naimprove nila. First, sorry sa spoilers ah Yui, yun best ni Aki na despite pinakita na natrain siya mag dive, (Amachan title kasi Ama is a woman diver in north ish Japan), wala naman scene na pinakita nagswim siya or kahit nagsama sila ni Aki magdive. Naisip ko, budget and time contraints. hehehe Another one, eto sana talagang pinahaba nila, yun time na sana pinahaba sikat si Aki  sa tokyo. Yun Idol arc kung baga. Ang galing kasi naisip nila kung paano siya sumikat mag isa after matanggal sa Idol group. Sayang, sana pinahaba nila yun arc na yun. Kaso after siya magshoot ng film well, nagearthquake, uwi agad sa province. Kaasar. hehe Pero siguro nga hahaba pa sa 156 episodes ang siste.
Yun lang naman. Pero ano ba. Hahaha I'm telling yun, simple lang, for the past weeks like in my past post, I just want to have a happy time or moment. Fun perhaps.. Eh, yun lang, napasobra ako sa addict. Natapos ko yun series in a week. So yun lang iiwasan niyo. hehe Pero I recommend this series. If you can watch just one episode a day, ok lang I mean 15 mins lang naman isa. That's how great this series is. 

First is yun devolpment ng story. Lalo na yun characters, that's why unlike Massan (another asadora well, search niyo na lang) na kahit ilang episodes mo namiss, parang kaunti lang nagbago. This one, skip mo 5 episodes, parang nagiba na agad yun characters for a while. Whether it's sad or fun, eh talagang panoorin mo every episode on top pa yun development ng story. In 156 episodes, siguro pwede mo lang mamiss, naisip ko mga 10 episodes lang. Hehe I don't know, that's what I felt. Pero galing nung nagsulat. At siyempre, the director na kahit 15 mins per episode eh di bigay lahat in every episode. 

Another, the story itself, I know it's simple pero dahil sa development ng story eh nagiging complex at simple ulit in sometime. Parang maraming climax sa story kasi dami kasing gusto gawin ni Aki. hahaha Pero may nareach naman kahit papano sila. So, nakakatuwa lang everytime na may mangyayari. At dun sa sad parts, talagang almost tearjerky. Not only made sense but a great story. 
Isa pa, informative! I mean, educational ito lalo na sa kin na kala ko Ama eh talagang hubad lahat. hahaha I mean, I saw that in the old times na topless sila pero dahil sa well, indecent yun, eh now ganun sila nakadamit na saka grabe yun effort nila magdive. Kala ko pag pumunta ako dun, may ganun pa topless! hahaha Geez, kaya siguro yun mga mangingisda sa tin, kaya yun. No match. 
hahaha Sa lalaki mas malakas sa atin saka tignan mo naman, mangingisda eh parang di mahirap tignan sa kanila unlike here. Di ko alam sa babae sa tin kung kaya magdive pero pinoy naman tayo, kahit ano kaya. hehe Saka parang sarap magsummer dun sa Kitasanriku, although no beach, pero makita mo lang yun blue sea, ok na. Clear and dark blue sea. Saka yun Idol arc, grabe talaga yun training, yun scam este yun  marketing ng Idol/entertainment industry, cutthroat and tight 

competition. Geez, sa tingin ko, kaunti artista lang dito magsurvive pag nag idol sila sa Japan. Dito medyo petiks,pacute, kaunting acting ang artista na tin, sa Japan, grabe, bawat galaw at kaunti mali mo lang, wala na. hehe Saka overwork. Yun nga lang, kahit dito makakapahinga ang artista tapos balik ok lang. Dun, medyo di pwede ganun. Kahit may talent, kailangan tuloy tuloy ang work. Ganun informative, kahit di accurate at least may idea.  Marami pang facts ang mapupulot dito. Saka iba na naman dialect dito, grabe, hirap na nga ng nihonggo, tapos may iba pa pala silang dialect. 

Another one eh yun fun vibe ng Asadora nito, many will agree na kahit may malungkot na arc at drama dun eh masaya pa din every episode. Kala ko nga simple problems lang yun dadaan ng mga characters, aba matindi pala, nasama pa yun great earthquake. Geez, scary.. But anyway, they still made it happy kahit ganun. Laging looking forward sa next episode.

Ah, ang galing yun naisip nilang pasok ng 80's vibe sa story. It's a long explanation pero yun nakakatawa na 80's sounds nila, may new wave din pala sila saka idol nung 80's. Grabe, mas mahirap pa pala nun. Saka yun mga scenes na 80's narecreate nila ng polido hanggang damit and hairstyle. hahaha Basta another plus yun. Interesting ang OST niya, that's for sure!

Lastly, of course ang importante sa lahat! Cast ng actors/actresses. Grabe si Nounen Rena, despite she looks 14 or 15 now or that time, pero noong nakita ko yun Hot Road, bata talaga yun dating niya. May kapalit na sila Hirosue Ryoko. hehe She's 21 anyway but still looks that. Siyempre, di siya ang type ko, Hashimoto Ai! hahaha Sa series, despite siya yun mukhang mature pero it's a fact na mas bata siya kay Nounen. Ang gulo but both of them, cheating their age due to those very youthful and cute looks! Hay.. Kawaii.. Of course, buong cast, buenas na naman ni Fukushi Sota I mean, start pala ng very lucky streak na napares siya sa mga leading lady. Sarap bugbugin ng lalaking yan. Di ako bitter. hehe Hashimoto Ai, is still my choice! Confessions pa lang, akalain mo sisikat siya ng ganun. Ayos!!

From Koizumi Kyoko na suprisingly former Idol pala siya na sana ginamit naman yun music niya. hehe Then other cast members with some cameos, kahit si Natsu na grabe, malakas talaga even yun mga characters na Ama na lumalangoy pa talaga kahit tanders na! Grabe, hirap nun kaya! Every actor is fit sa character nila, even yun mga otaku. hehe Kahit yun mga kontrabida eh swak sa actor/actress dun. Suprisingly, Matsuoka Mayu! Nakakatawa yun role niya, galit at matapang na cute Idol! hahaha Pero pwede siya mag idol ha kasi may dance moves at pag ganun dating niya pwede siya pang AKB or HKT whatever girl group. hehe 

I haven't seen yun ibang Asadora pero nakita ko na yun iba, definitely better ito kaysa sa Massan or Carnation. Or iba, I don't have time to spend watching or even where to watch the other 90 asadora series pero definitely the best na Asadora na to. Kung may kokontra, give your suggestions kahit yun luma, sige! hahaha Because of this series, that week for me, kahit malungkot, napasaya ako. Kahit tapos na siya, it really put a smile saka lessons na din. A good glimpse na din how the typical Japanese life works. Kahit di accurate, pero yun setting sa countryside na love hate relationship nila at iba pa, parang gusto ko di lang Tokyo puntahan ko, parang dun din sa Sogedahama din. hahaha Specific right. I just love this, better yet, keep a copy for keeps!!!!

I need NHK world premium para sa Mare and other drama series nila. Kahit wag na yun Taiga. hahaha Parang boring kasi at 50 episodes of talking? Oh please. hehe Next one, hmmmm Mare or Carnation, Gochisousan. Pahinga muna, mashado kumain ng oras ko yun series. Well spent. Iwas lang maaddik sa next one. hehe

Kaya Ate, eto ang Amachan. =)

Intro music na!

Fast and Furious 7

Absurd right? I never thought that after watching that first film in my college years, there will be 7 films about cars and dudes working in and out law who loves it. 

Anyway, I still watched it. I can say that this is a bit better than the action packed previous one. Simply as that. 

Let's check the negatives first about the movie! First, I did not l ike the last action sequence. Sorry for the spoilers, I mean why with all that ruckus, no army or military came right away for rescue? Cops can't do that alone. Geez. Absurd premise indeed, for now, I just don't like the drone aspect used in films. Even in these new films. Drones are dangerous, and I just don't like the aspect of it for now.

They also, used heavily to special effects. Despite it's not obvious at most of the film, or even with Paul's double, I felt unnatural even at those car chases. Even that bus stunt, I just felt it has more special/visual effects. Another thing, I also did not like well, short scenes of the Rock and Jason Statham. What worse, Jason did not die! I still feel, the brothers will be back at the last 3 films. Crap. hehe

Well, the great parts, one is the insane car halo drop scene. I mean, that tops the tank scene. hahaha I can't believe how they looked real but definitely that is fine with me. And that Dubai sequence, on the top crazy!!! I don't like that supercar though. But I love that sequence, the scene shows bugatti. I also, love the cast, well except for the short cameo of the fast 3 members. But the cast just made perfect for this film, even with the short time of the Rock and Stat. I just hope that they had more action fights than car chases or balance perhaps. Tony Jaa's appearance kinda short. hahaha

Another thing, Paul Walker's memoir is great. I mean they did not kill his character off then that last scene was really a great send off to him. I don't know what will happen at the next films without him but I know they are able to think about it. 

I also love how they able to mask Paul disappearance in some scenes. I don't know which one scene is that anyway. But great job, so those things made this one better than last one. But I'm looking forward to the next and last 3 films if that's the case. 

Their lives are like racing in a quarter mile, isn't it? I hope they see the finish line with 10 films.

Public Service: How to get a SSS ID.

Hay mabuti naman nabago na nila sistema ng ID, at good looking. Yun lang, mabigat sa bulsa. hehe Naabutan ko pa yun old process na kailangan pumunta ng maaga tapos may limit lang ang pakuha. Kung di ka pa malas, sa main branch ka pa magpapakuha ng litrato. Mabuti na lang maayos pa yun kuhanan dito malapit sa amin. hehe 

Well, hanggang ngayon nagagamit ko pa yun old ID at nakatago lang yun bagong ID. Not bad yun bagong ID, mukhang lisensya, at pwede pala integrate yun HDMF details parang isang ID lang. Actually, wala naman pinagiba sa bagong ID, ibig ko sabihin sa steps. Ang maganda nga, dahil Philpost na yun nagpipicture eh kahit saang SSS office pwede magpacapture ng picture.

Ang problema lang, eh pag magapply ng ID, fill out ng form tapos pakita yun E1 ata. Yun pink form.. Ok lang yun, pero ang ayoko, pag may lumang ID ka, kailangan surrender mo yun luma! Noong una ako naginquire, grabe, parang nagdalawang isip ako. Paano kasi, ang hirap ko kunin ang dating ID tapos, isurrender lang. Grabe.. So, may suggest itong officer na pinagtanungan ko.. Pag may affidavit of loss daw, pwede na.

Eh dahil mahal ko yun ID ko, at dahil naisip ko kung gaano ko nahirapan kumuha... Eh, kumuha ako ng affidavit at nagapply na ng bagong ID. Wag tularan! hahahaha Fill out ng form, tapos wala naman pila at picture na. Kailangan nakacolar. At higit sa lahat, 300 lang. Sa kin 400 ginastos ko. hehe At least, dalawa naman ID ko.

Papadala na lang sa regular mail yun ID at nakuha ko naman after 2-3 months at nung nakita ko na, ang ganda! Kaya nakatago lang siya. At dala ko lagi yun SSS ID na luma for reference purposes. Sulit! Well, kahit mawala yun luma, ok lang. Pero ayoko mangyari yun for now. hahaha 

Simple lang ang steps, medyo gagastos lang talaga at sulit pag nakuha ang ID. Nasa iyo na lang kung gagaya sa kin. =)

unplanned 62

Dapat kahapon pa ko nagsulat but due to some tiring and messed up circumstances, I crammed. Procrastinate. For short, tinamad. 

I can't laugh or even have fun until this moment. Sabihin na natin na talagang I just want to get away or something... But I can't. Ni di nga ko nakapagouting dahil well, may bantay at ayun pa, kailangan gawin. It's sad pero ok lang naman ko. Either way, ok lang.

For now, mabuti na lang maluwag ang kwarto ko pero napakainit. Nakakabwisit na init, summer time na nga. hahaha Medyo nakakatawa na ko. For the past weeks, pasaway ako, pero buenas pa din. Masaya pa din. Yun next post ko malalaman niyo kung bakit. Etong 2nd quarter na to na start, medyo shaky pero ginagawa ko na nang paraan. It's really hard to adjust when you have pressures from home to work then vice versa. Everyday.. Iniisip ko at ramdam ko na parang kulang ang 2 days off. 

I'm quite pessimist these days even I shouldn't be. Ewan ko ba. I don't know what will make me motivated or happy now. I thought mabuti to shun away some things or let's say bawasan, like internet or DOTA or even fret about Gerro or other things. Dagdag mo pa ang mainit na panahon. If there is a reset button, that will be great! Or parang refresh cache. But in real life wala naman yun. Prayers can do much, or faith. Hope can give light but hanggang dun lang. Love can only decrease yun lungkot or let's say it really keeps me going such.

I felt, I just want to stay in my room or in a place na for a time na walang kasama or kung mayroon man siguro just a good time. Dun papasok sana ang friends but well, they have their own lives now. I'm doing all my own. It's sad, gloomy and depressing. I'm surprised I can still put a smile on my face. Indeed.

Anyway, I don't look forward sa NBA until playoffs starts. I hope ROS will win sa finals. Ah, to finish this long week ahead of me from work and home. Ah, eto, continue writing. Writing. And more writing. 

Maybe I just need a second look at myself. Kung ano mayroon ako, at ano yun nangyayari sa kin, siguro, unti unti ko baguhin sarili ko. View kung baga. But I'm tired of it. I have a week to think about this, I've thinking a lot this time, siguro ang mabuti eh, isama na ang puso. 

Heart, what I feel, what I want to happen, or result sa ganitong situation. I keep using my stubborn head a lot but not my heart is. But siguro, I have some fears to have my heart works than my head. It produced well, great results but some worst results. 

Mind and Heart. Maybe, this week, I try to balance them both. A peaceful mind and a happy heart. 

Mahirap, pero kung eto lang ang way, para kahit papano, maka move on and do a lot, I can do things. I can move something and more important.. 

I can control myself like I want to. In the best way I can. For the benefit to those around me. For Him. Maybe I should just keep it slow nga. I don't know, but I just want to be effective in a lot of things, kung baga, may silbi especially at this age. Darn, kala ko age is just a number. Parang di ata sa ngayon. hahaha

Parang nung sinusulat ko yun, mukhang nakuha ko na at least isang sagot sa mga tanong bumabagabag sa akin. Napakahirap na tagalog.

Diyos miyo. =)

What if..

(I have my own car)

Oo nga pala, nasulat ko na dati na may lisensya ako pero di na ko marunong magdrive. Nakakatakot pa, yun huling nagturo sa kin na magdrive eh nasa langit na. Sumalangit nawa siya. 

Paano kaya, may kotse ako? Simple lang, pero siyempre yun less ang sira, at siguro diesel para mura gasolina. Besides, I'm not really going out much. Lalo na ngayon,  napakatrapik. Kung kailan tumanda ako, aba tumitindi ang trapik. Parang ok magkotse pag malapit or sobrang layo ng pupuntahan. Pero kung kaya iFX or kung alam mo lagi trapik, parang mas ok pa macommute. Lalo na sa mga panahon ngayon, dami pa inaayos na daan, at malas malas, walang kwenta MRT.

Magkotse ako, hmmmm gabi siguro para madali magdrive. hehe Or sobrang maaga. Pag may gimik siguro, malamang dala ako kotse gaya ng nood ng sine or pag outing. Maganda nga pag crosswind para marami makasakay. hehe Or kung pang date, BMW. hahaha Dahil di naman maganda mga kalsada, ok na yun mga di masyado mahal na kotse. Kasi pag mamahalin, grabe, masisira ang kotse mo dahil sa dami ng lubak. 

Paano kaya pag bad trip, malamang mang trip ako lumabas sandali nakakotse, going nowhere for a while tapos uwi. Kaso, naisip ko din di ko gawin kasi nakakatamad magdrive, unless maganda sound system. Kaso dahil mahal ang gas, kahit diesel pa, aba mahal lumabas. hehe Tipid tipid din. 

What kind of car I like? Hmmmm basta BMW or if I'm super rich, Porsche. haha Billionaire, hmmm Zonda or Bugatti. Pesteng top gear yun, kaya ako naddik sa dalawang kotseng yun. Actually may iba pa, kaso hahaba lang ang post na ito. hehe

Kahit sedan or second hand, as long it runs, less maintenance, or manageable at great sound system. Yun ang kotse idrive ko. I just don't know when in this lifetime. hahaha Ah yes, di naman harurot agad o full speed, defensive driving na lang. Safe and sound na lang, wala naman ako need for speed unlike others. Unless kung malalate na ko. hehe

Places to go.. Somewhere less or no buildiings. Para maiba scenery. Probinsya malamang pero wag naman malayo, yun mga tipong 8 oras ka magdrive. hahaha

If I have my first car, color black or blue. Important. hehe Napapahingal na lang ako pag naiisip ko yun, sana nga makadrive ako isa..

Even once.. Alone or with somebody..

Conversion to Light

Infinite darkness will succumb by a ray of light. Light shows as hope. Hope brings faith.. Faith becomes Love. Weird logic right? I can't imagine I always think that all the time but maybe it's not going inside me. Deeply.

For sure, I should be mature enough but it's just, the hardest obstacles are now here. I need maybe more than those values I mentioned above. Or even sheer will. Or motivational speeches. Or even great readings. 

I know why I'm like this, damn age. I'm becoming more bitter and most of all, envy which I don't really feel before. As you age, wisdom becomes a lot yet, some dark force also grows. Going from the past, or worse, regrets. I know and admit I haven't reach a lot after a decade from graduation, and add to that pressure from my home, I don't know what to do. I also thought, better end up dead. 

But as years goes by, a mysterious force or presence that always come to rescue me. It is always him. Jesus there to save me. Always. But I don't go further than that. Maybe I look back at him after he saves me, like those one of the lepers he healed. Out of the ten he healed, only one returned, the nine just left. I'm one of those who left. Yes, despite that gospel did not really say those nine are selfish, but of course, if you look at that context, well.. I understand that Jesus did not judge those nine, but when those nine left, I knew they felt the guilt of not being grateful or even thank Him. 

It also did not say if they converted as well. I always hear even straight from Him that after he forgives, he says sin no more. That second line really I fail.. It's simply convesion yet I fail. I failed many times. 

Now, I can do is different. Instead of focusing so much on every thought or action I do or even doing promises, what I do.. I'll do something else. What I will do are well.. First, do a lot of things. Maybe, I always think I'm sick which I'm not anymore. Do a lot of things, like what I'm doing now. Another, to refresh other people to refresh one's self. It's weird but despite, I'll get tired, I will do my best to focus maybe or even tiring help the people around me and others. Serving Him, at least paying back his love for me for all this time. I know that not even one person can pay him back what love he gave to us. 

Well, it's better to do it and I know he'll be fine with it up there. 

Now, despite I have an afraid heart, I should convert into a brave one. To embrace change, and most of all, optimistic despite odds. Despite doubt, and even defeat. Always look forward a new day ahead! Don't forget, of course, I have one beside, the one who keeps me going..

Till the end. Whether it's a success or failure. I know the best thing to do, is to give your best. Try as well..

I know this will be a long process of reconciliation, I admit it, going to conversion and the last thing, a bit easier than conversion.. 

Commission. I want to be at that state. =)

Reflecting into the Abyss

I don't know but I'm quite relieved and thought stupid within the course of the Holy Week. After such contemplating and stuff, I'm now in an abyss.. 

I'm in a state of confusion as some of my other matters settled. Maybe as I reach that position of making it through, I fall again into that abyss.. I don't know why is this happening or what. Maybe some things, old ways doesn't seems to go away. It's sad for me, and due to some pressures I face, I'm kinda down at moment. 

Anyway, I admit, those old ways, darn JAV.. Can't get over that addiction. Despite it's one of the reasons I love Nippon, it's still causing me such guilt and yes, into sin. I don't know what to do get over with it, even after Holy Week or maybe I'm sick or stressed out despite I had a great rest. Honestly, I'm really tired after those years of watching it but when that moment comes, I feel such satisfied. After that, yes, crappy feeling. 

Confusing isn't it? But after hearing that message for the past week.. I know that Jesus, has plans already. Even in this state, or before.. I believe in his words, he doesn't look at my past or even my sins. It means, he'll always be there. Always..

It's up to me, to go forward and be renewed. I don't know how or if that's is possible. But I should never doubt from this moment forward, what he can do for me. I'm anxious, or even paranoid, but what less support I got outside, of course people are getting busy left and right... Less comfort I can get from others at this point yet, well... I have no choice but for now, I know I might sound selfish or self contained.. It's time for me, to have courage and be renewed!

Conversion!
