Watashi wa nihongo o benkyō shite imasu

Thank God for that 50% sale of living language books. They came in handy especially now..


I'm studying by myself. It's been a while that I'm studying again by myself. Although I did study basic SAP, I don't consider that self study because we did have a trainer.
But reading a chapter a day and then memorize or speak loud what I read, that's like a decade I've done that. Way back hmmm college perhaps? I'm surprised that I'm going to finish one of the 3 books that this bundle has. Of course, I can't gauge yet how my nihongo sounds. While studying, I've discovered a lot in nihongo that spark my interest.


First, surprisingly difficult yet fun! I mean, 3 types of writing won't give interest to the learner but come to think of it, their writing style looks great. Especially katakana which looks perfect but sad to say, they are used sparingly.. They are only used for foreign words. hehe I know hiragana now, but I'm almost done with katakana. No prepositions, pronouns or even passive voice or past tense. You can correct me on that as I haven't went there yet. But I can say, that no preposition part kinda made my learning a bit easy. I just hate prepositions. hehe A lot of things as well but I'll just put it here later.


Second, damn everything how you speak will change. One great example, the r and l sound. How they speak R/L letters it's like they are into one sound. But when you write it, it's R. Damn. hahahaha Then how to construct sentence, way too different. S-V agreement I think don't apply here. What I love in this language, no stress in the sound. Normal conversation in japanese it's like reading a paragraph with no stress intonation. There is no even or required high tone when asking question. You read or speak syllables according to it's character, not the word itself. If I got it right. So, yeah.. Very weird but kinda love it.


Third, I'm kinda wondered this even before I start studying, that some words sounds better than the english word. Like one example I just read last night. The word economics in japanese is keezaigaku. I kinda like that word. It's sounds, hmmm it's hard to put into words, sounds tough but fun to say. I don't know that feeling I can describe it, but anyway, some words don't forget, english words way better than japanese. One great example, to study, when you translate, benkyooshimasu! What the hell, that's a lot! hahaha Then there are phrases that it's like you are tongue twisting. Weird but it has. I'll write some of them later.




As I'm studying this language, I wonder now why Japanese are polite, smart and cool. Polite because even they say bad or not good, the normal way is no rising tone unless really needed. You say it normal, no like change of tone or pace. Smart people because come on, 3 writing systems, then Kanji is like, what a dictionary itself then the language itself, totally and drastically different from english.. That's hard to learn especially if you are a kid. Geez.. Cool, because of some words are said better than english, weird right?


That's it for now. I'll finish the first book in a few days then a week of rest then proceed in the second book. But of course, I need like a partner or a japanese friend to check how I do. I thought of how to have one, but let's say, nothing happening yet. Nobody is looking at my profile I guess. hahaha But if I have funds in the future, why not going to a school. For now, that's my budget, doing self help.


Watashi wa benkyō ganbattemasu!




Dewa, mata ne.

Not Showing: Where to Invade Next?

It's been a while that I haven't watched a Michael Moore documentary. I kind of miss this dude. Great thing, he has a new documentary and all I can say was...


It's the lightest documentary he made. His topic for this one was simple. What ideas he can steal from European countries and apply it to the America... It's pretty simple isn't it?


Nope. Anyway, the only thing that bothered me in this documentary was it's fun all throughout. I knew he took a light or fun approach, and I think it's the first time he did it, but I felt something lack after watching 2 hours in a Michael Moore documentary. I mean, most of his films were interesting, shocking, a bit of fun, original and lastly, a sense of urgency. A sense of angst that we should make a move against like greed in Capitalism: A love story. How about we should fight the correct war on Fahrenheit 9/11 as its inner motive.


In this film, although I get his point but that sensibility, it's simply not there. Like for example, Germany did not hide the fact that Nazi's really spread chaos on WWII and they accepted it but made amends. Look at them now. Then point this idea to USA, they won't accept or admit the slavery, discrimination or even slaughter of the first natives. I was surprised that no museum built for these events in their long history. They do have monuments or museums to commemorate 9/11 or heroes of ward, but not their first history. Those points, I mean, US should have done that. No need for this documentary to show it.


Anyway, enough of that one flaw. Two great things I love this documentary! First is Michael Moore, on how he directed this film, I can say despite his kinda frail posture but he had a great time. If I'm in his position, I'll stay or live in the places he went. No need to come back to USA and retire in the Eurozone. hehe You can say he had fun not only going into this places, but his reaction on each great idea that can be applied back in USA. None of those ideas will ever apply in the USA unless there is political will. He enjoyed like the scene he went to Finland about their near perfect education system.
I hope all schools are like that, it just make damn sense. Then Michael went to Norway about the prison system which I called a great rehabilitation center. Wow! I don't want to leave prison if that is the scene and environment you'll leave right? hehe Michael also did a great job in editing, because he did not make it hard for the people to follow in documentary. Its a fun, light and curious documentary indeed.


Lastly, the ideas he got from those visits. It gave me an clear overview why these european countries strive in the governance index. I mean I searched in google about that ranking in governance then long and behold.. Almost all of the countries in the top 10 are in this film. I don't know in Slovenia, but I want to go there due to the free great college education. I don't know if you are a Philippine citizen, you can apply for free college. hehe But gosh, these countries are not only highest in governance but also in happiness and well being index. Decriminalize drugs, proper sex education to youth, muslim women in parliament, a big bank headed by Women.. Labor union has 50% representation in the board of directors.. The list goes on. Wow, some of the countries there not included in EU and still they strived to be the best.


It means, there are societies that living very happy. Not boasting firepower or a lot of reserves or profits. They just want to live simple, happy and respected. This film gave glimpse that countries who can't do changes in their respective systems such as politics, education, or even financial has hope. I know it's not easy but after watching this film, damn it's possible.


It's the only matter of execution and discipline, in the right way. One point of view that changed me was death penalty. I am ok at death penalty if needed at first but after watching this film, especially that scene which prisons in Norway looks like great offices or a resort, they do rehabilitation, not punishment.. I think we can do that here in our country. I suggest, put the criminals not in jail, but the other islands we have, do rehab and they will change. It works.


There were a lot of interesting ideas but I better suggest you watch this film and set back, relax and see what a country should be. Caring for all the people and listening what's the best for all. Not only for the few.


Well, sad to say, USA won't do anything or even copy the systems that this film shows. Geez..


They can't even stop policing around the world. They can't even apply the right law enforcement by themselves.
Now, I'm most inclined that US drops further in my choices of best countries.


I feel I want to put Germany or Norway in my like top 3. hahaha


I hope Michael was able to visit us..


I just don't know what idea he can steal from us..


Maybe balut?

crushes: Tilda Swinton

Well, this time, hmmmm Let's go to older women. At this time, she is the oldest woman I listed in this series. 55 years old! Hahaha I can't believe she looks like one. Anyway, the first time I saw was in the movie Michael Clayton, with George Clooney. Great thing she won an Oscar for her role as a very hell bent lawyer. Then, when I got her name at that film, I followed her since then.

The only thing I did not like about her, hmmmm there was some films that she is very thin. Like that film we need to talk about Kevin. I know she needs to be thin at that film but her looks, just so unusual. But other than that, she looks great! Even in Snowpiercer and Great Budapest Hotel, yeah, weird looks but when you look closely, she is damn. Remove the make up and there she is, very beautiful androgynous woman.

Hmmm she also beautiful in Moonrise Kingdom, or the White Witch in the Narnia series, or how about Trainwreck! Damn, I don't think she is 55 at that movie, maybe 40 ish? hehe But the one film that I can say, she is damn gorgeous and wont' really care about her age, Only Lovers Left Alive. Damn, a perfect fit with Tom Hiddleston! Her voice there, doesn't sounds like old. But her presence there in the film, very striking and beautiful.. I can just stare at here and don't mind the film is running. hehe

Yes, her wholeness, she is very fit to a model which she had a background. Even in that figure, her face just beaming with confidence in every angle. You can put her in any clothes set up or how about roles? From very old in the Grand Budapest Hotel to the very eternal beauty in Only Lovers Left Alive. Or that simple yet striking lawyer in Clayton. That beauty of hers, seems just unforgettable. There are few actresses I can say that kind of image.. Tilda is one, actually Cate Blanchett is another one but for this time, I'll put Tilda first. Maybe I'll do the post for Cate later.

Damn, how beautiful she is? Guys put together into her will have a run in their money. hehe Because of her image, some angles, she is more beautiful than men. Crazy right? How about the Doctor Strange stills of her? Can you believe the original role should be a dude, but I don't know why she was cast.

Never mind.. She looks great as that oriental suit, even bald. =)

unplanned 75

Hay, kakalungkot pa din na wala na si Prince! =( Biglaan. Shocking and sad. Well, that's how life goes. Daming legends na namayapa na this year, and I hope that will kinda lie low in the coming months di ba?



Anyway, kakayamot ang first round ng playoffs sa NBA. Tagal mag second round! hahaha Mabuti pa yun PBA, kahit papano, nakakatuwa yun quarterfinals. Bugbugan na naman sa Semis. Siyempre RoS and Alaska pa din!!!!!!


Bad news, I failed my first application para sa english tutor stuff. But a bit of good news, eh may second and still waiting for the third application. I hope that I'll make it. Ang hirap pala ng application na to. But that won't well, stop going into this new path. Naks! hehe


I'm now starting to modify my wordpress and baka next week, I have a lot of time to fix it until it's ready to launch. Please bear with the wait time. Another thing, hmmmm studying Japanese is like studying Physics in HS. For short, ang hirap. hahahaha I don't like Physics and it's hard kaya looking back, thank God I passed physics kahit 70 plus ang grade ko. This time around, syempre love ang nihonggo, yun nga lang ang hirap. Eto yun naisip ko factors kaya ang talino nila. Writing system pa lang, lintek tatlo!


May progress naman, alam ko na yun hiragana, some basic japanese phrases and rules. Kahit mahirap pag aralan lalo na self study, may mga benefits agad. Walang preposition! hahaha Pronoun at iba pa. I'll discover more once I move on. Tomorrow will be interesting as I'll be in a wedding that is different. Way different. I have mixed feelings. Oh not the couple but the set up ha. hahahaha Different and hard. That's all I can say.


I'm happy that for a month, I got the longest and best rest. Kahit di naman ako lumalabas or visit other places, eh ok lang. Clear out my head and stick to my plan. Di bale, soon I'll make sure, this plan..


Will go places. =)

Ginebra! Ginebra!

Naiba yun isusulat ko bigla. Dapat isang japanese movie pero dahil sa napanood ko kanina, bigla ako ginanahan magsulat tungkol sa pinakasikat na basketball team, di lang sa PBA, kung hindi sa pinas! Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings! O baka mali yun monicker na alam ko. hehe 

For the past 2 games, noong napanood ko sila against RoS siyempre, eh laugh trip. Alam ko na di naman ako magaling na basketball player in person pero knowledge na lang saka as a fan. Nag grow ito dahil sa kapapanood ng NBA, at pati yun ibang liga like PBL, DLeague PBA, NCAA, UAAP at siyempre PBA. Pag may chance nga na FIBA or Euroleague, patusin din. hehe Tapos nadagdagan pa ng odds dati ha, ayun na.. Analyzing basketball games became fun. 

Eh yun nga, game 1, dapat panalo na Ginebra kaso anak ng tinapa, biglang nag bwakaw ang magaling na tinyente at tira lang ng tira yun mga malaki kahit labas na sa range nila.. Ayun, napalakad pa sa half court si Coach Tim, tapos ang laro, umiinit yun RoS, tapos game 1! Dikit yun laban at masaya.

Kanina lang, 4th quarter na, nakadikit na ng 8 points yun Ginebra, aba bigla naman ano ano pinaggagawa sa depensa. Nalibre si Quiñahan, Jeff Chan, hanggang kay Ahamisi?! Partida pa yun RoS, tinapa, yun import, labas pasok pa. Hinihingal agad eh. hehe Sila Slaughter, di makaseal o pasok, ang laki naman niya. Yun import mabuti sumusunod kaso siyempre may pastar na PG ulit at naman, wag kalimutan si Caguioa. Kakamintis na tira niya, upo sa 4th quarter. Si Thomson ginamit na mukhang ok, kaso minama siya ng mga Norwood, Chan at Cruz. Yun mga malalaki ng RoS nagpapakamatay sa rebound saka position. Sila Slaughter at Japeth, wala, nakatulala lang. Lalo na si Japeth, hay naku. Di ko alam kung may IQ siya talaga or lost lang siya. Grabe.. Talon ng talon pero ang hilig sa jump shot. Ang hilig sa labas, bakit? 

If you ask kung naging fan ako nang team na to, oo naman dati. Añejo rhum pa no. hehe Pero hanggang Coach Uchico lang, kasi pumasok na yun RoS and Alaska. Lalo na nung tinanggal si Coach Jong tapos ano ano na pinag gagawa nila, ayun na, laugh trip na sila lagi. Kahit un huling finals nila, aba wala din.. Injured lahat and un import. Paano sila mananalo nun? 

Ayoko ko na pahabaan pa kung bakit sila naging ganito. Maraming dahilan, maraming paraan, kankungan pa din ang patutunguhan. Para manalo naman sila at lalo magfinals man lang kasi mahiya na sila. Coach Tim Cone na ha, tapos ganyan pa din? Di ko lam kung ano growth na sinasabi ni JDV nangyari this conference eh parang wala naman nagbago. 

Ok na yun coach, may sistema na at di ko siya sisihin kung bakit puro talo sila. Di gaya ng mga dating coach, na talagang mga ungas. Simple lang gawin nila, palitan si Long hair! 

Sorry, di pala, palitan yun halos buong roster. Kahit disappointing si Gregzilla, pero nagimprove talaga siya.. Kulang pa din.. Maganda yun triangle pag siya first option. Si Japeth, sad to say, habang may trade value pa, itrade na! Sama niya na si Chris Ellis na di ko alam ano ginagawa niya. Mahina sa depensa, di niya alam ginagawa sa opensa, tanggalin na siya. Si LA, kahit gusto ko din palitan, di pwede, siya nakakaalam ng triangle saka si JDV. No choice din palitan si JDV kasi kay Tim Cone lang lagi naglalaro. Nakabuenas na player. hahaha Pa especial. Si Sol, pwede siya itago or trade, may times na bagay siya, may times, na hilo din siya. 

Ang daming pa players na di ko kung fit.. Si Thompson may future yan, kailangan lang mababad. Si Cruz, depende din. Ah siyempre, yun Fast and Furious, pwede ba sabay na sila magretire? Now na?! Hahaha Wag na yun Helterbrand muna tapos Caguioa.. Diyos miyo, alam na nila dapat gawin. Sayang yun dalawang spot sa kanila. Di na talaga sila effective eh. Nakakalungkot aminin, mas magaling pa din yun kaedad nila, like Dondon o kahit si Alapag na nagretire na, napilitan lang maglaro ulit, may laro pa. Kahit si Asi or Eric Menk, effective. Di ko lang alam sa dalawang to, baka pwede pa itrade. hahahaha

Ah, dahil maraming players ang pwede itrade, ayun itapos sila sa mga mahinang team. Diyan naman sila magaling dati, aba gawin na ng tama ngayon di ba. hehe Saka kunin yun draft picks, mas maganda yun mataas at kumuha sila ng mga 2 shooters talaga. Sa triangle, di naman pwede isa o dalawang shooter lang o may isang big man at isang shooter lang. Kailangan marami shooter. Gaya ng bulls, ang daming shooter dun, di lang naman si MJ or Pippen yun. O gaya na lang ng GSW na lang, sa 5 players nila on the court lagi, 3-4 pwede mag 3 points or good mid range shooters. Wala sila nun sa team na to.

Nakakaawa naman ang fans, unti unti na nauubos kahit sa Araneta marami pa din. Tuwing nagbabasa ako ng comments or napapanood ko sila sa TV, kahit masaya sila napapanood, pero pagkatapos nun, sila yun pinaka bad trip pag natalo. Tulad na lang nung game 1, may nambato ng mineral water at natamaan yun attendant. Grabe.. Kahit masama siyempre ginawa niya, aba galit na siya sa nangyayari sa team.

Alam ko matagal pa magsink in yun triangle, kahit 2 coaches na ang nagimplement sa kanila nito. hahaha Pero may hope pa naman para magchampion sila.. Kasi champion nga sila, sa bora cup naman. hahaha 

Nakakatuwa lang kasi marami talaga silang fans at sana, manalo sila. Sa canteen, tricycle station, o kahit online na lang, pag panalo ginebra, parang buong barangay nagsasaya! Yun lang, sana mapabilis lang yun plano nila kasi kaya naman agad agad yun, lalo na may mga players na gets agad yun play saka maayos na depensa lang.. Tanggalin pa din si Japeth..

Di naman ako lilipat sa team na to kahit magchampion sila. Iba na ko ngayon..

Pero, iba talaga pag Ginebra ang bida. =)

BERSERK: A New Arc

Nah, I don't write Berserk. That's Miura sensee job. hehe But surprisingly, after some searching accidentally, I ended up happy to hear that this series is back, in TV!!!! Wow! I heard the news before that there will be new 3 movies but this news came as a surprise. Even Miura will write a new novel in this coming summer. He has no choice to do the new chapter in summber because the TV series is produced by himself. 

Anyway, I just realised that when watching GoT, that novel or movie compare to this story Berserk, it will have a big gap. Big difference and yes, I can say GoT is lame. Why? Check the novel of this one. 
If I will compare in detail, the space won't be enough. Of course, there will be naysayers or critics about the comparison but we as fans, can fight it until the end. hehe Although, I gave it a thought that due to the mystical or magical part of the story, GoT has an advantage if we compare it only with the band of hawk arc. But overall, nah, I thought of not to compare it anyway.

I just put that thought as some  fans comparing this to GoT. Great right? Even with the short teasers about this new TV series, I can't help but thrilled in the quality they will be using.. The mixture of 2D and 3D that they used in the last movie is important to make this series work. We can now see, the real blackswordsman! hahaha Swinging with his dragon slayer! Kill those bastards!!!!  With the great OST and yes, the only question remains...

What arc or story they will use? How long they will do it? As you see, ehem Berserk is famously known with a great story development, artwork (which is still unmatched even the great 3rd movie was shown) and yes, very violent content. I'll be surprised if all of the sudden, with all the omissions they did in the new films, they put all the details in the new TV series! What I'm talking about? The sadistic bishop or priest, the first real scene in the manga which was shocking... The number of children Guts killed up to this point.. The rapes of all kinds, yes.. The corruption of people and even the monsters. Even the stories of people why sacrifice for a behelit's power.. The berserker armor! The adventure of the crew of Guts faced..  Those things, I don't know if they will be more graphic in this new series. But the violence? That's given and it should happen in the new series. We just hope, they will create or make the story intact with in the manga. I'm not saying translate that vast story, but the feeling of the whole story, like hope, very desperate, love, and rage, adrenaline rush and yes, berserk. Add the great characters of the story, which made this novel, a masterpiece in the first place.  
That's the biggest difference of the manga and TV/Movies adaptation, the action scenes, the look of the characters are more visual and alive. Don't forget, it shows the real ability of my best anime hero the blackswordsman! How he kills with his small sword! hahaha 

Anyway, I'm quite get ahead of myself, and I'll just chill and wait until July!!! 

Tadai ma, Kuroi Kenshin!

Transporter Refueled

            Yes, you are reading it right. I'm a transporter film fan, even I did not watch the short TV series. hehe Well at the first news they said that a new actor will act for the transporter, I was skeptic who will act this one. They also planned that to reboot the story.  I don't what Besson is doing for his past films, even they were produced by him. I think the only one I can say successful film he produced, was Lucy. But that was not really good film, story wise. 
Anyway, months later and while I'm doing my collection for transporter film, I said that I should get this film and add it. Thanks for the more free time, I kinda experiment this film, watch it right away.
One hour and a half later, I was blown away! Blown away how bad it was. Easily the worst film from the series. I can't believe they still shown this in theaters and saved me wasting couple of hundred bucks for this fantastic crap!

Many things made this film bad. First thing, sloppy action scenes! Except for that airport car scenes, everything was bad. It's almost watching a b movie action flick. The sound editing or effects for this film were bad. I don't know if the punches thrown were strong or what. It's kinda lame and choreography which you would expect great or at least, good in a transporter film, absent. The one I hate was that shot when the transporter was walking while his car was just rolling without hand brake. 

I cannot understand why they added that scene. Unbelievable waste of time. Another thing, very bad screenplay. Although it was saved due to the twist in the story, but the dialog and the story, how it was presented, I was almost lost and slept. Even the film was only like short. Combined with poor action scenes then bad screenplay, this happened to me. hahaha Third thing, bad supporting cast, besides with Ed Skrein and Ray Stevenson, the whole supporting cast was poor. Never mind that I don't know the cast but I hope they kinda made an effort to improve acting. How bad it is? I thought the policeman was a villain. I don't know if he was with the bad guys, or a good police. Plus the main villains, I don't know, they were not that scary and at the same time, they also don't know what to do in the film. Geez. Ah yes, sorry, the girls, they look good and that's it. Acting wise, poor. 

Lastly, the direction of the film, I don't know if Besson looked at it while shooting the film. I don't know, if this was an action flick or suspense. It was more like kidnapping film. Especially what happened to Ray Stevenson's character. Damn, even he was quite unlucky, he doesn't look like worried. He was having fun, too much fun. Weird right? He was having fun getting kidnapped by lovely ladies. hehe 

Well, not all things were bad. 2 factors that served as bright spots. First, was the good cinematography. It was bright enough and balanced, film looks good, just good enough. Another thing, Ed Skein and Ray Stevenson. I was surprised that dude was too good looking as the transporter but I accept that. I have no questions about this action skills as he did that simply in Deadpool. I just hoped that the action choreo did in this film was different. Stat's transporter was fast paced and frentic. This one, if they want it slow, like taken.. Slow yet effective, they should do it properly. With a good script and action plan, Ed's transporter will be good because he's more great looking and young. Ray Stevenson as Frank's father, he was good! He did bring not only the fun but at least the sense in this film. I hope he'll be there always if they will go through. Another good thing, cost cutting! hahaha With that face paced making this film and bunch of unknown actors and tight setting.. They saved a lot of money. 

It has been a long time I haven't bashed a film, so it's a good thing for me. hehe Yes, because of this bad film.. I did not put this in my collection. No need. 

Unfortunately, I have other films, more films that I just saved but did not watch it like this. These films, I can say, just a waste in my HDD memory. 
Poor me..  I kept most of these... Crap films. 

broken lines (collection 64)

Oh Summer! I don't what to say if you are a girl..
I never get angry but these past month, you make me swirl!
Swirling into this scorhing heat, inside and out.
It got to my nerves and made me angry, fall out!

It is fine, thy sleepless nights because of you..
But if those sleepless times caused by this heat, I'll get rid of you.
The crimson heat flowing everywhere, seems unbearable.
I don't know how I'll survive this, until I find something to disable!

Summer, please don't make this longer..
Or else, we all falter in this living desert. 
For now, all I can do, is to eat more dessert!
This Summer, you are making me a bummer.. 

What If..

(Duterte is our president)

Lintek, minamalas si Miriam. hehe Kung mataas lang survey niya, sure na siya iboboto ko. Kaso ganun talaga. Mabuti na lang, may alternative na pwede iboto! Siyempre, hindi si Binay, Grace at Mar. Duterte na to pre! hahaha Natatawa ako dun sa isang news na may isang FB user na puro hate ang nakuha nung sinabi niya dapat wag si Rody ang iboto. Ayun, para siyang tupa na pinakain sa mga leon. Nilalapa siya ng buhay ng users. Mas marami ang gusto kay Duterte. hehe

Hmmmm I used to have, somewhat a couple of friends living near Davao. Totoo naman ang sinasabi nila, mas safe pa daw ang Davao kaysa sa NCR. Secured ka maglakad at night. Saka sa mga vids and pictures, kita mo naman parang mas maayos dun ha. Makapunta nga minsan. hehe Pero as data shows kahit medyo mataas pa din crime rate, eh para naman yun mga major crimes dun, halos nasolve agad, yun ibang criminal, malas, todas!

Well, isa lang naman ang problema niya sa kin. It's more of his hot temper. Ok yun pag nacocontrol niya, not in public display. Mabuti na lang, nun napamura niya nung pumunta si Pope Francis dito eh napatawad siya. Saka yun, improve PR sana, dapat may nagsasabi sa kanya na be civil you know.. Lalo na sa speeches, unless kung ang setting eh barrio lang or small venue, informal kung baga ok lang. Kaso pag may formal setting or may international press, dapat hinay hinay siya sa pananalita. hehe

Tatlong bagay lang naman ang nagustuhan ko sa kanya.. Una, eh transparent siya. Straight to the point, gaya na lang na inamin niya babaero siya.. Mahina siya sa ibang bagay. Nagkamali siya or kahit yun history niya na abused pala siya.. Aba daig pa niya ko sa blog. Siniwalat niya halos lahat. hahaha Simply honest and transparent. Pangalawa, matapang talaga.. Parang siya lang yun presidente kung papalarin, di niya uurungan lahat ng banta sa kanya. Di gaya na usual na president na isisi niya yun mali sa iba pero pag tama or may maganda siya nagawa, nasa kanya yun credit! Matindi! Kapal ng mukha. hahaha Pero siya, at least di niya swapang yun credit. Saka kahit ayoko yun ginawa niya urong sulong, eh at least, di siya umatras di ba? Hinamon siya, so matapang niya hinaharap!

Ang huli, gaya ni Miriam, may leadership! Aba, natawa ako sa isang nag comment na kalaban niya, nakalimutan ko sino pero kung bakit daw 20 years bago nya napababa yun crime rate ng Davao. Yun daw eh nakakabahala at di mangyayari sa atin. Gusto ko sanang sabihin dun sa ungas na yan, at least, nagawa niya. Saka di naman siguro it took like 20 years na ganun. Kahit sabihin na natin lahat na kasama niya eh kamag anak or barkada ni Duterte kaya niya nagawa yun, aba ibig sabihin, sinusunod siya na gusto niya mangyari. Ang hirap kasi sa mga pulitiko, marami nga tao, di naman siya sinusunod, di pa nagtatanggal! Ano mangyayari sa atin. Kaya leadership yun kailangan natin. At kaya pasunurin ni Duterte ang mga taong nasa paligid niya. I don't know paano niya nagawa yun dati, siguro tinatakot niya.. Pero anong paraan yan, basta importante sumunod at makita resulta agad. Di naman niya babaguhin kung nagwork di ba? 

Kaya yun honesty at tapang niya, good combination yan. Well, kung ako tatanungin, mahirap yun gagawin niya pero di ako magugulat na drastic measures ang gagawin nya. Martial Law, closing the government for true reforms, he will be damn creative to transform the government for the people. Not a government for other people or selected people. Yes, I can see a lot of blood or it will be messy.. But what other options we have? Tandaan niyo, halos lahat naman ng problema ng bansa, naguugat sa corruption. Maayos lang yan or kahit papano mabawasan ng malaki, uunlad na bansa natin na madali. Saka kung pwede charter change na din. hehe Malamang pag siya presidente, yun walang ka kwentang kwenta CHR eh magtratrabaho na para tignan siya lagi! hehe 

Sana si Lacson yun VP para yun 3-6 months time, talagang ubos ang mga criminal, nakasemento pa!!!! 

Dito sa D.Tuazon pero posters ni Digong nandito. Sabi ko baka may chance talaga, lalo na sa mga surveys na lumalabas. Although si Grace ang consistent, pero si Duterte, may mga alas pa yan. Lalo na may ugong na... Hahaha abangan sa eleksyon. Sana ituloy niya nga. 

Kaya sa presidente, Atin to Pre! Duterte! Naks... Libreng endorsement pa from a dork like me. Tunay na pagbabago! 

Ano kaya tawag sa squad niya pag presidente na? =)

flashbacks: PVP Liner

Noong pauwi kami galing south at dumaan kami sa Lacson sa may UST, napaisip tuloy ako na kung ano nangyari sa PVP liner? Sayang naman yun.. Sa mga di nakakaalam, eto yun bus na isa lang ang biyahe, from UST, deretchong Ayala Ave lang naman! hehe 

Grabe, nakakamiss kasi. Nadiscover ko siya nung after college pa. Parang nagiisip ako nun kung ano pang way na madali puntang makati. Kasi kung FX, ok lang siya kaso bago ang rush hours. I mean, punta ka Makati ng 8am na FX? Naku, late ka na. hahaha LRT pwede, kaso pag galing sa amin, sasakay ka pa ng jeep tapos kung rush hour ka pupunta, wala na din. Siksikan ka sa sardinas na LRT.

Well, pwede naman bus from EDSA pero grabe naman ang trapik. Pwede naman FX from Suki kaso hanggang 9am lang sila ng umaga. Kaya napaisip ko ano pa pwede sakyan lalo na pag mga 7am pasok mo or kung gusto mo mga 8am nasa Makati ka na. Accidentally after college, nung nagaapply ako work, eto yun bus na naskyan ko at since then, pag pwede ako dito, sumasakay na agad ako. 

PVP was the best alternate way. Pag mga unang biyahe nun, mga 7am, from P.Noval hanggang Makati, kaya pa ng before 8am. Ang daan kasi niya, deretchong Lacson, tapos Nagtahan, tapos kaliwa sa may Quirino/SLEX highway then Buendia na then ikot sa MSE/Paseo de Roxas. Bale tatahakin niya yun halos buong Buendia. Most of the time, it works. Tapos pag aalis ka mga 9am, wala na terminal sa may P.Noval, pupunta ka mismo sa Quiapo church at may terminal sila sa may BPI. Ayun, pag walang trapik sa Taft Ave., doon ang daan nila. Tapos kaliwa sa may St. Scho then Ocampo then Makati ulit. Pag trapik naman sa Taft, bale Quiapo ilalim, then nagtahan. 

Ganun ko na kamemorize yun daan nila. hahaha Wag ka! Di lang papuntang Makati ang silbi nito. Eh yun galing Makati ganun din. Start naman ng kuha nila eh sa may MSE/Ayala Ave., tapos ikot sila sa Columns tapos derecho na gaya nun sinabi ko. Sa umaga, lalo na pag galing mga call center, ang daan ng bus, taft eh tapos ang dulo Central or UST. 

Masarap sumakay dito pag pauwi na, yun nga lang, tatantsahan mo yun oras. Pag ang uwi mo, before 5pm, dito ang best bus puntang QC. Kasi shortcut na sila sa Nagtahan tapos UST na eh. Pero pag 5pm na, well, sa FX suki market na ko sasakay, yun terminal nila sa MRT Ayala.. Wag ka na umaasa makakasakay ka dito ng rush hour kasi puno. Grabe, gitgitan, shortcut route kasi. hehe Ganun lagi ginagawa ko lalo na yun mga panahon na nagwork pa ko sa Makati. 

Oops! Meron pa, the best part, eh yun pamasahe. From UST to Makati or vice versa, parang 25 pesos ata or 22. Tapos pag chino roces lang, eh 15 lang ata. Sulit na sulit! hahaha Di ka na sasakay ng jeep sa makati, kasi lahat ng bus stops, nandun siya saka kaunti na lang lalakarin mo sa mga building na pupuntahan mo. Lalo na sa Makati, excercise pag naligaw ka or ang layo ng lalakarin mo. hehe 

What met this great bus their demise? One simple thing. The bus ban sa Manila na kailangan may garahe yun bus company ka bago ka makabiyahe. Well, wala naman silang garahe, kaya nakakalat lang sila. Gaya sa Quiapo terminal nila, ayun nakagarahe sila lagi at kaya minsan sila patrapik.  Sa UST na pasikip din sa may P.Noval hanggang Navarra. Simula noon, wala na sila. Wala mang lang comeback. hehe Kaya ngayon pag pupunta Makati, pahirapan, wala na shortcut bus. 

Sayang, kasi ngayon, grabe trapik sa Makati lalo na daming ginagawa kalsada at yun Skyway. Kahit yun shortcuts eh wala na. Di kagaya pag PVP, madali mapuno kaya mabilis ang biyahe. 
Mabuti na lang, di na ko Makati. hahaha Pero paminsan minsan, I need to go to Makati, kaya hinahanap ko pa din itong bus na to. 

Yeah, the company itself parang di naman nawala. May isang fleet pa sila kaso ang biyahe eh from SM southmall to Lawton. Nalaman ko lang eh yun kulay ng Bus ng fleet na to, parehas sa PVP. Iba din pangalan sa mas bago yun bus. 

Hay, sayang yun PVP, maganda alternative pa din in these days going to Makati. 

What the hell PVP stands for? Parang tubo eh. hehe
