Ichi. Faye Valentine, (Cowboy Bebop)

Great body, stunning face with cunning looks, deceptive attitude and dumbfounded? hehe I thought Haruka Tachibana will be my fave anime chick of all time, but unfortunately that was only a fantasy. A stupid choice. hehe

My choice is here. The lovely lady Faye Valentine.

I don't care if she's 70 years old already, isn't she looks like what, 25? Even she is not good at driving or even shooting people or how about using her gun, that's fine with me..

Or how about not romantic. Fine with me.

As long I can stare at her, every moment.. That's already heaven. What I love from her? Even she is not that brave, she'll at least protect me from bad events. hehe Or she is quite smart at some things, like card games or fashion and info gathering. Simple things..

Ah yes, even she always wear that yellow clothes and have that funny voice (Megumi Hayashibara, great choice by the way), my love for her never waver..

Even all of the sudden, her true face revealed. Well, that's so cruel for her. Forgot the past and even not sure of the future..

However, nah.. For the present, I love this chick. hehe

Unfortunately, she is not real, and I don't know if there will be like her in the movie version.. That will be deciding factor as well, if I'm going to watch it.

If it's like dragonball? I'll wait for the download. hehe

I'll just place her face in my wallpaper instead.

She likes playing cards so I don't mind playing cards with her all day. hehe

I am also not scared if she knows how to use a gun because I already met one before. :)

I love Valentine, nice name as well.. Very lovely.

garter

Tagal naman iupload ni Dennis ang kahihiyan ko. hehe

In all weddings, there is a portion for the single dudes and dudettes.. Yes, the damn garter coming from the bride's leg.

Previous weddings, well lagi ako nasama, talo naman, which ok lang. I mean I don't want to waste time at a platform and make tsansing. hehe

Unfortunately, that was changed..

Noong dumating na yun portion, aba the 2 bastards went to the CR at ako ang naiwan. Ala naman tawagin pa si Dennis. hehe

Since kaunti ang guest, at ang masaklap eh etong si Arman nagtawag ng single guy friends, and of course Mennen called hers. Nasama ang iyong lingkod. Damn...

Well, ayun ulit ang motivation magpatalo at umupo, nothing to lose..

The objective of the contest for the guys is to pass the cloth with the garter at the middle of it. In the tune of limbo rock. Eto ang problema kung di ka nakinig.

Of course, I didn't listen to who's going to win.. I just know na kung talo na, upo na! hehe

Ayun, sa stage kung sobrang baba, malamang di ko kaya, ayun tumba ako. hehe The host told me I'm the winner!! What the f@#k!!!!! How embarass. hehe

Well, it's the girl's turn naman at ayun, trip to jerusalem naman ang trip.. At ako ang nasa chair ipit yun talong sa lap. hehe Ayos na game, very educational!!!

Objective of the game, ayun the first who got the talong will lose.. Siyempre, todo effort yun girls, at the end loko tong host na to. The first one who got the talong wins. hehe

Ah di ko alam kung ano nangyayari kasi naka blindfold ako. hehe

Pero Dennis caught it on tape kaso di complete.

Ah the moment came that I never thought it will happen. Pero siyempre, kailangan may padance pa muna before reaching the leg of the lady. Nagala bar ang dating in the tune of careless whisper. Peste!!!! hehe Hiyang hiya na ko nun to tell you the truth. Oh I am in deep sh*t. hehe

Lalo na yun part na siyempre ilalagay yun garter at malamang yun audience di papayag nasa binti lang, kailangan itaas. Eh may sumagaw nandyan ang parents. Patay. hehehe Kailangan walang malisya which I did naman, it's for fun anyways.. hahahaha

Hay, natapos din. Whew, that was embarrassing.. I even forgot her name, hehe but nice looking lady.

After that event, ayun, pinakita na yun preparations of the wedding lalo na yun part na si Arman, kala mo may NBA game pupuntahan. Ganun ang dating eh. Parang sila Kobe papasok naka suit tapos sa locker room naghahanda. Ganun si Arman dun sa video. hehe Then all the highlights din.

Masaya talaga, sana nakapunta lahat ng niyaya lalo na yun ehem, malapit lang. hehehe

The far venue was worth going to and even the rain poured at the end. Nakakatouch nga yun greetings nila, lalo na yun nagthank sila to God na di umulan nun kasal nila. Actually umulan, pero nun nakauwi na kami..

It's really a great experience and I'm just glad na settle down na si Arman, congrats ulit, sana next time, like I always say, binyag ang susunod. hahaha

For this year, I don't know who's next..

For sure, it's not me.. Not even close.. Not yet..

I thought, that will be a great venue for my wedding I guess in the future.. hehe

Only if...

bayan DSL: 1 year of tear

Reminder, I have no intention of promoting this product, almost. I am not affiliated with bayantel. hehe

After asking customer service (yes, may ganun) sa SM Annex when will be my 12 month contract ends, akalain mo June 9? Walang cxl fee. hehe Parang isang account lang sa call center na pagkatapos ng contract cancel na or upgrade. hehe

Well, di naman uso dito pero at least, mura at ang masaya, panalo ang connection. Evident yan sa download. Like kung marami seeds, overnight tapos na ang download. Eh pano pa yun sa dati kong plan? Almost 3 films in one overnight ang average. Or download. Wow. hehe Ok naman sa streaming saka surfing, well minsan mabagal pero sinisi ko na sa computer ko yun. hehe

Problems? In the span of 1 year, parang twice lang ako nagpaservice call kasi di na sa computer ko ang sira. Kagaya last time na sa wire na pala nila, pero ok naman ang service. After 24 hours, nandyan sila agad. At wala naman time na parang no connection unlike sa PLDT na may time walang connection. Like yun nangyari kay Ron Marc na may computer shop pa siya nun ha, tapos one day, biglang sira DSL, ayun it took him 3 days to fix his problem.. hehe

Sa BayanDSL, panalo. Di ako nagkaganun. Kung may nangyari ganun sa kin, sira na kasi yun slot ko ng PCI, so lipat or kaunting linis sa LAN card. hehe

Kaya sobrang sulit sa kin to. Ang dream ko na lang sa bayan DSL eh magkaroon ako ng bagong computer tapos yun plan mataas o kaya SKY broadband na 4mbps. Talagang pirata na dating ko nun. hehe

Peste kasi si Lola Techie na enganyo ako, pero ok lang lola. hehe

Ah, may naloko pala ako si Rheg, hahaha pero sulit naman sa kanya, ah sorry sa mga ate niya. hehe Yun na lang, sa PLDT sila ah at may landline sila dati pa. Nung nagapply ng DSL, akalain mo papalitan yun number? Bakit? Well, up to now di ko alam at ang masakit pa, matagal pa sila mainstall. Eh nung nagapply sa bayantel, parang 3 days lang ayos na. hehe

Yun lang. Sulit lang talaga siya. I love it. This is not a paid advertisement. Promise. hehe

PLDT even they have the biggest market share in this industry, well, they act like that, they are going to lose a lot of customers. I mean a lot. I know they are not feeling right now, but I'll not be surprised that one day, they'll going to be catch up by bayantel. hehe

They should need to improve their service. That's all. Kahit ako nagapply ako nun nasa URCI pa ko, akalain mo wala na nagfollow up sa kin. hehe Nakapagapply ako sa globe, kaso palpak naman, nagkautang pa ko dun. hehe

For now, mukhang stick muna ako dito. Thanks bayanDSL! Ang dali. 44492000. hehe

Yes, this is not a paid advertisement...

sikipan

oo nga naman, pagpumayat ka marami kailangan iadjust.. pantalon, naku.. hehe Dati, I wear around size 38-40 waist line, ngayon, maluwag na sa kin ang 36, pati na din ang 34, pero tama lang, fit kung baga.

T shirt? Isa pa, yun large dati sakto lang, pero ngayon, sobrang luwag, parang bata nakasuot na malaking tshirt. hehe Medium size na lang pala ako. Akalain mo yun. Nun HS di ko masuot tapos ganito pa ngayon. Baliktad ata. hehe

I was surprised and dazed.. For all those time that I feel so bloated but now, I feel thin.. hehe I look thin all of the sudden without looking myself everyday, kasi sa sobrang busy..

It took me I guess more than a year to become like this. I know marami pa ko dapat gawin sa health and body but at least, this is a good start. hehe

Everybody is addicted to running. Like one interview I watched, run for fun, run for evironment, run there and here or everywhere.. Geez, I don't like to run. However, I need that for stamina.. hehe Besides, many chicks are running these days. hahaha Seriously, I need to have an excercise to really maintain this figure or better improve my body. Bad trip lang yun sked ko. If I only have a fixed sked, siguro ok na ko sa part na to. hehe

Diet? Hmmm may improvement, dati, as long may ulam pa, kanin pa.hehe Ngayon, nakakarami lang ako pag handa o pag sa mang inasal, o sa chickboy kumain (the best ang liempo) Ngayon, parang 50% na ang rice consumption ko. Fasting kasi. Saka sobrang busy. hehe I don't really crave that much for food. Except of course pag kasama ang CRAP.

Sa susunod kaya, no rice? hahaha effective daw eh, well I take the Chef's word for it, kasi nagawa niya na dati. So parang ako din kaya.

Sports? hmmm depends sa sked din.. I can't play basketball anymore unless I wear contacts or goggles everytime. Crap. hehe May naisip na ko pero sana matuloy..

Talagang sked na nakakatalo lahat. Peste kasi, iba iba ang sked everyweek. Pano kaya kung opener and closer pa ko every other week di ba? Patay na.. Hay.. I need to think of a better plan..

Napasikipan ko naman lahat ng pantalon ko, kahit medyo mahal pero ok lang. Ngayon naman, shirts and polos need to change size and they are a lot. hehe

I don't know, maybe it's time for a change..

A tight change.

I feel better for this change, and I need more push to fully embrace the change.

Naks, parang kailangan pa sikipan pa to ha..

Hmmmmm

Tight is right?

chismaxing while driving

of course, habang nagdridrive si pareng Dennis eh di maalis ang kantiaw at kulitan. hehe usapan sa buhay, sa kasal ni Arman kahit wala akong clue kung sino papakasalan niya, hehe at higit sa lahat, college days!!!!

Napagusapan din namin about sa toll fee na tataas sa SLEX. Habang mura pa, edi daan na sa SLEX. hehe Dapat sa MOA kami dadaan tapos coastal road kaso ayun kala niya alam ko pag galing ng makati SLEX, magallanes, deretcho na kami SLEX. hehe

Alabang exit at akalain mo mabilis ha. Linggo naman saka walang trapik. Pero mahal ng toll ha. Paano pag june 30 na? (July 1 daw), bale ang labas eh 200 from makati to alabang? Wow naman. hehe Lalo na trapik sa ibang daan, namely LP, alabang zapote road, or coastal road. Basta lahat ng shortcut maiwasan lang ang SLEX. Para ka na din nagsky way. hehe

Mabilis takbo namin kasi si Juan eh nauna na. Malamang yun mga malapit dun eh nandun na din. Pero magaling naman magdrive si pareng Dennis. hehe Well, di nga saulo yun SLEX pero pag dating sa Honda Alabang papuntang Fernwood eh alam na. Tamang tama, di ko na kailangan ng magtanong sa iba. hehe

Medyo naligaw kami sa entrance ng Fernwood, pero ok lang. Bawal pala commute dun saka nakakatakot pag gabi malamang, puro talahib eh. Saka yun daan, daang hari nga. hehe

Anyway, so ayun sinuot ni Dennis ang kanyang purple na long sleeves, JCBA loyal talaga, hehe while his wife Meryl wore a nice dress. Me? parang may interview. My reliable blue long sleeves and almost white pants.

That place is great I mean kahit may mga crack, which if that includes in the design, iba ang aura eh. Pang wedding talaga, and mukha sulit naman ang trip.

Unlike other weddings na napuntahan ko eh this one, I know maraming guest, pero mas kaunti naman dito. May silbi din yun small number of guest later. hehe

Then, we seated sa chapel at surprise nakita namin si Don Ansam and his sis Michelle, napagkamalan pa namin na mas matanda si Ansam. hehehe Tapos himala, si Juan Barroga!!! hehe Halos lahat ng reunion ng 2cpm wala siya, pero dito, naks present. hehe

Well, the others we don't know...

Siyempre, etong Dennis na to akalain mo medyo bad trip kasi habang papunta kami, ang tanong ba naman sa kanya ni Barogs before eh kung pupunta siya. That was Saturday night ata, eh malamang pupunta si Dennis. Nagpunta ng manila si Dennis para kay Arman. Ang sweet naman. hehe

Anyway, ok naman at ayun, nagsimula na. Si Dennis panay asar kay Meryl, coz in their wedding daw, wala pang tanong yun priest kay Meryl I do na daw agad. hehehe

Baka dito, si Arman naman. hahahaha

Of course, as usual, parents and sponsor walked first, then mga alipores and flowergirls, and some kids na ayaw maglakad. hehe Ah, and the couple. Etong Arman, barong daw, pero naka coat and tie. Buti nga di kami nagbarong. hehe

Arman looked a gentleman, in the back of my mind, di ko akalain na magaasawa na siya. Pero pare, congrats!!! Sana maging successful ka sa iyong bagong chapter ng iyong buhay. Malamang tapos na buhay counterstrike or bilyar days, eto na, magtayo ng pamilya. Mahirap malamang pero kaya yan. Kaw pa. Parang sa bilyar lang yan, isa isa lang ang tira ng bola. hehe Pag naubos, panalo na.

Mennen his wife, look beautiful. Damn Arman, lucky indeed. hehe Ang masasabi ko lang, yun ang example of a lady that you can proud of, bringing it to the altar and happy to say, she's my wife.

It was a simple ceremony, but maganda yun homily ng pari ha. Talagang summarize niya about marriage and putting God in your relationship. That's true of course, I mean in the end, you really need him in your lives together. Especially in times of hardships and struggles. Arguments or even happy moments.

Iniintay nga namin si Django eh. Mukhang di nakaabot, may proxy na lang. hehe However, nabasa ko sa diyaryo these past days, nasa abroad pala, may tourney. hehe

Then siyempre the most important of all yun marriage vows part, which according to Atty. Leonid, after the priest announced it's done, it's no turning back. hehe

Simple naman yun vows pero romantic kasi sa tone ng voice nila, galing talaga from their hearts that they want to be together. Arman, parang di kinabahan eh. Alam na ang gagawin. hehe Saka yun gestures niya that moment, he's damn happy. Of course on the other side naman, Mennen looks also damn happy.

Ah yes, di naman sagot agad yun dalawa even wala pa yun question. hehe

Then, while doing that, I prayed na sana they stick forever, like I always pray to other past weddings of my friends, even kay Dennis.

Quite jealous at that time, but oh well. That's love..

So, siyempre chismisan pa kami, like si Juan todo kwento, siyempre, matagal kami di nagkita. hehe

Si Don Ansam, tahimik lang and just staring the couple upfront. Si Dennis ayun picture picture..

Mass and Wedding ended, ayun the usual picture with the couple starting with the close relatives up to the friends of the couple. Ah yes, kala ko di darating yun classmates ni Arman sa BA2, meron pala. hehe

Kaunti lang din, actually mas marami pa sila. hahahaha Kaysa kami.. Naman. Until now, I don't know why they didn't come. Unless they were not informed. Or the worst part, ayun nice drawing project. hehe

Hinahanap na namin, eh malamang lalo na si Arman. Ayos. Good job!

Ah, we were able to get a pic sa couple, tapos congrats dito and there. Ewan ko kay Dennis, di pa upload yun mga pictures oh!!!

Ayun, ganda naman at sana talaga, they'll be a one big family in the future...

Simple yet lovely wedding...

I hate this next part. hehehehe

Dennis wag mo muna ipost. hehe

broken lines (collection 10)

tuwing umuulan

ako'y nasa kawalan

ng aking pangamba

ng mga problema

katahimkan para sa akin

ang malakas na hangin

ang pagtulo ng tubig

ay akin mga hilig

ako'y nagiisa

nakatulala at balisa

kung ano dapat gawin

ngayon at bukas

subalit may mga sandali

nakahilata at napapangiti

sa mga nangyari noon,

hanggang ngayon

minsan may mga pagkakataton,

ako'y biglang nakatulog,

nakapagpahinga ng walang malay,

nakapagpagaan ng aking buhay

alam ko sa ibang tao,

ang panahong ito'y salot

mula sa pagbaha, pagguho ng lupa, at kaunti lang nagagawa

samantala ako'y sa simpleng ulan ay tuwang tuwa

kahit minsan ako'y sobrang basa dahil sa ulan,

maraming beses naman sa pagkatapos ng tagumpay,

ulan ay walang humpay.

wala na ko masabi tungkol sa ulan,

kagaya ng walang katapusan tulo ng tubig

ang mahalaga ako'y panatag at puno ng ibig

tuwing umuulan..

FernWood

The place looks like somewhat old. hehe Or rustic or even sentimental I guess, like centuries old, I don't know if those cracks at the chapel count.

Anyhow, before ako makarating dito sa place na to, eh I need to ask a lot of people how to get at Fernwood gardens in Alabang. Yes, nagsouth ako pero south is quite big you see...

Arman's big day, of course big wedding. Akala ko dati, siya yun malate magasawa pero yun pala, siya na yun maaga nagsettle down sa barkada ng 2cpm boys. hehe

Anak ng tinapa, huli na ko sa biyahe. hehe

Of course, ang may invitation eh si Dennis and with his lovely wife Meryl pero kaming iba barkada, ayun sa email ang invite. hehe

At the first glance, talagang nasabi ko na wow, may daan pala dun. hehe I mean kala ko yun dulo ng Honda Alabang eh Ayala Alabang village na. May daang hari naman pala..

Doon pala yun daang hari. I always here that word noon nasa south ako and I am dumbfounded. For short, stupid. hehe

Ah yes, for the 2 straight weeks, nasa Alabang na naman ako. I love this place. hehe However, for this time, I don't need to ride a train.

I just need to ride to the real ride, a smooth L200 pick up courtesy of Dennis. hehe

Simple preparations lang naman, Dennis asked kung barong daw kasi sabi ni Arman. Sabi ko naman, wala akong barong kasi malamang si Dad, coat and tie or long sleeves, malabo ang barong. Saka wala akong time for that week to go to Dad for borrowing a barong. hehe

Alam mo naman 3 birthday na magkakasunod that week.

Sinabi ni Dennis na mga 1:30pm na daw mag meet, kasi may important siya gagawin. Malaki kasi ang negosyo niya.

Ako naman 12pm or after some lunch, ayun ready na ko except some freaking disturbances from oh well..

Moving forward tinapos ko muna yun, pahinga sandali and yeah, medyo pahinga. Diyos ko, parang eternity na yata ang mga tasks na ginagawa ko everyday, oh yes, even Sundays. hehe

While daydreaming, siyempre kasi naman puro kasal na lang ang napupuntahan ko, di ko naman maiwasan mainggit. Reminiscing. Realizing. Regret? hehe

Ayun nagbihis na ko around 1pm, wear my reliable long sleeves saka not so white pants then my college black shoes and here I go. Punta kay Dennis at mabuti na lang malapit lang siya kay Mang Ed. hehe

Kaso ang problema, di ko alam kung bakit that time walang jeep. Wala naman ulan, sobrang init nga that time eh. Peste tapos ang tagal, but you know me, I don't want to be late in any appointment or work, or job or anything that I need to finish. Except for paying debts. hehe

I took a cab na tapos ayun, nagulat pa nga yun driver eh, mabuti ok na sa 50pesos yun hanggang ipo st.

Waited some time, siyempre bihis pa yun lovely couple tapos ayun went off to Alabang..

Arrived at Honda coming from SLEX na take advantage na habang mura. hehe Weird din yun daang hari ha, kasi naman ang daming talahib, bakante lote, at maraming village tapos parang bitukang manok yun daan.

At of course, kay Manny daw halos lahat nandun. No wonder he is...

Naalala ko yun village na nandun, sobrang elegant ang dating ha. Pano kaya yun price? hehe

Arrived at the place, na medyo naligaw nun una pero ayun, deretcho na sa chapel. Barong pala, eh naka coat and tie yun groom eh!!! Buti na lang di kami nakabarong nila Dennis. Or even Juan Barogs (yes, for the first time, after some years, from cainta ha, nagpakita siya) and Don Ansam with sis Michelle (kala mas matanda si Ansam). hehe

Buti nga, di kami nagbarong. hehe

Wait there's more!
