Mula sa kwarto ko, ayun etong building na halos magdadalawang taon na ginagawa, hanggang ngayon, di ko alam kung ano ba talaga.
Sabi nila templo, but with electric wires? Saka parang di ko pa nakikita yun nagfeng shui nito. Pwede ba talaga dito? Sabagay may isa pa sa tapat ng hospital at ang taas pa ng bakod.
Medyo tumatanda na din ang bahay, I think it needs renovation especially yun roof. Nagkakadila na. hehe Pero very thankful ako dito kasi sa daming bagyong dumaan at iba pa, eh matibay pa din kahit kahoy/plywood lang exterior nito.
Paglabas mo, ayun may ginagawa na naman building, this time a college building ha! For a chinese school tapos nagextend pa ito college. I don't know kung magclick pero kung ako sa panahon ko college na yun lugar, aba kahit 5 mins ang gising ko before the bell, di ako malalate! hahaha Weird structures na talaga dito sa min.
Although may mga nawala na, like yun isang bentahan ng kotse, eh wala na malapit sa RCBC. Bakanteng lote na. Si Flying V lumipat na ng HQ, ngayon malamang buidling o whatever condo itayo dun. Yun isang lote, 50% na tapos yun pundasyon ng townhouse. Tapos etong kalsada sa Quezon Ave puro espalto at tanggal ng mga dahon sa isle. Di ko lang alam kung pagbumaha ba lumulubog pa din dun..
At pag gabi, alam na, may mga abangers na mga badet! At ang matindi, lumalapit sa kanto namin. hehe Pero dahil sa kanila ha, parang wala na nanghoholdup dito. Di naman lagi, pero dati may nagaabang kasi. eh ngayon, pwede pa din sila, yun mga badet ang unahin nila. hehe
Ang bilis ng panahon, after more than a decade.. D. Tuazon hasn't really changed so much. What I see and feel, still the same. Thy place is a good location just to be myself. Or let's say, great times and bad days happened, this place stood still and me included of course.
Kaya, when I leave this place, I'm might be sad for sometime. Marami kasing mamiss ko dito.
Sa ngayon, eto, abangan natin yun mga nangyayari sa kalsada dito, sana may shooting ulit, yun may Marian ulit. hahaha

Mabuti na lang, tapos na ang mga ganito when you get old. I mean, pag gumagawa ka pa din ng projects for school, aba magisip ka na. hehe You need to finish school!
Tapos na ang mga project na pampagastos lang! Like yun drafting project ko na ewan ko paano ako nakapasa, gumastos ng malaki kasi siyempre di naman mura yun mga gamit. Even in college, yun mga punta sa subic or other province na more of site seeing than doing real project! hehe
Tapos na yun mga project na wala ginawa kung hindi pumetiks sa una tapos magmamadali sa huli!!! hahaha Nung HS marami yan, naku lalo na pag involve something sa drawing or reporting projects. May isang kaklase ko, imbes ang group lang niya gumagawa sa bahay niya, buong classroom nandun para tumambay at makikain! hehe College, ay eto ang grabe, kung hindi cramming, counterstrike muna, or worse inom muna ng ilan araw tapos pag malapit na pasahan, pre gawin na tin! hahaha That's team work. Or kung malas malas pa, nagsisimula pa ng ayaw lalo na sa delegation of task! Grabe. hehe
Tapos na yun mga project na talagang pinaghihirapan pero pagawa lang pala! hahaha Lalo na yun parol and advent wreath, geez, materials lang akin tapos sila Kuya na bahala. hahaha Basta yun ibang project ko, lalo na when it involves with art, eh kung hindi si Kuya, si Ate ang taga gawa! Kahit ngayon nga pagbalot, pinababalot ko pa sa iba. hehe Kahit ata nung college pero di naman ganun karami yun pinagawa ko.
Tapos na yun mga project na dun mo malalaman kung sino magiging kaibigan mo o maasahan mo sa buhay o mas maganda makikilala mo yun mga kaklase mo. Totoo ito. HS, hmmmm may mga projects na kasama ko yun CRAP kahit di kaming apat eh iba dun magkakasama kami. Tapos yun ibang kaklase ko sa HS nakilala ko mabuti nung gumagawa ng project at naging kaclose ko pa yun iba. College ang masaya! hehe from 1CPM to 4BA1, nakilala ko isa't isa ang mga kaklase ko at most of them friends! =) From Flytrap play, tapos tulungan sa pagpasa na lintik na accounting, saan kami pumupunta na lugar for projects, tapos Feasib, then marami pang projects na dahil dun, nakilala ko yun mga friends ko. hehe May magulo, awayan, at kasiyahan.
Kahit tapos na siyempre ang mga pagkakataon na yun, masarap balikan yun mga moments na lahat naghihirap para lang tapusin ang pesteng project na yun. hehe At bonding time, saka yun paano magflourish ang teamwork despite well, maraming odds, expenses at higit sa lahat deadline ng submission!
Kung tutuusin naisip ko, parang most of the projects we've done, wala naman silbi nung tumanda ako. Such as gumawa ng ham, eh bili na lang ako ng ham. Or gumawa ng parol which hirap naman magsabit dito sa bahay or even that honey making project, no way I'm going to do that! hahaha
Senseless but quite meaningful projects.
Most critical project of all, to finish good at this hard project.
Life!
Sa buhay, may mga bagay na dapat mangyari, at isa na yun siyempre ang pagaasawa. Di ko akalain na si Doc eh di naman kagulat gulat na eto mangyayari pero yun agad agad, yun na. hehe Habang nag DoDota eh sinabi niya kung available kami ng ganitong date last January, ako naman since Sat Sun off ko walang problema. Igz din ok lang, si Sir eh may pasok ng Sat at may service pa pero ok din, so ok naman lahat. Nagpapatulong din kung papaano daw isurprise si Tin.
Well, kahit ako walang masagot, kantahan namin? hehe Baka matawa lang si Tin but anyway, nagawa naman ng paraan ni Doc.
A week later, eto na ang pinakahihintay ni Doc, at kaming tatlo eh gutom na! hahaha Kasama pala si Khaye then family members ni Doc at siyempre relatives ni Tin, para ang plano eh dapat date lang nun dalawa tapos surprise na lang na nandun kami lahat. Sa Guevarra's pala yun reception este yun place ng kainan.
Nung dumating kami dun, maganda yun lugar, parang reminiscing yun spanish times ha. Ganda ng set up, and ambiance, except well for the service which sabihin ko later. Yun Food, later na din. We arrived there around 6:30pm pero pwede na daw kami kumain. Pero siyempre ayusin muna yun set up and stuff at yun gameplan ni Doc such as tatago kami sa sulok tapos surprise namin si Tin, tapos may sasabihin si Doc na mahaba then bigay na ng engagement ring. Naks. Ang sweet ni Doc. =)
Kami naman eh well, abang na lang pero siyempre dahil gutom na, eh nauna na kami sa buffet. Grabe, pagkakita ko sa mga pipiliin eh kulang ata dalawang ikot, gustong tikman lahat ng putahe. hehe
Siyempre usap usap at chismax habang naghihintay at ninamnam yun sarap ng dishes, from inihaw, to kare kare tapos kanin at atbp. Biglang sabi ni Doc, malapit na si Tin so pwesto na kami according to plan.. Tapos may aberya pa pala sa service at yun plan kasi parang may mali itong ginawa yun waitress pagpasok namin kaya medyo mainit ang ulo ni Doc. hehe
Si Doc eh kahit sinasabing niya ok lang, pero sobrang nerbyoso at di mapakali, baka makalimutan pa niya yun sasabihin niya. hehe Pero wag ka, nakangiti naman siya, sobrang masaya at alam niya makukuha yun OO ni Tin.
Dumating na si Tin eh to her surprise, nashock na nagaabang kami lahat sa room and naiyak siya coz it's her birthday at nandun kami lahat ng close friends and relatives of sorts. Eto na, pagkatapos ng simpleng intro ni Doc, which we thought mahaba pa sasabihin niya, binigay na agad ni Doc yun box containing the question and a ring, with a picture ng pusa, Will you marry me? Biglang yakap agad si Tin malamang OO na yun. hahaha So there, we have first sa CRAP na getting married this year. Ewan ko from Dec naging Oct na sabi ng aming source. hahaha Napapaaga ha ata.
Anyway, Tin cried for joy of course at very grateful sa mga pumunta at nagwitness nito, ah don't forget the singing waiters na walang ginawa kung manggulat at panira ng momentum. hahaha Palpak! Mabuti na lang masarap yun food. hehe Tin look more lovely after siyempre nun engagement, speechless kasi talagang surprise ni Doc and important is very happy siya. Si Doc, after that, kahit sinugod niya yun manager because of some slip ups eh nakalma na at nagenjoy yun pagkain and the event at pagasikaso ng mga bisita. Pwede na atang tumakbo ito si Doc. hehe Pero talagang natuwa kami sa sweetness at preparedness ni Doc kahit nawala yun mahabang sasabihin niya. Sabagay, mahal mo naman yun tao, wag na patagalin pa. hahaha
If you're asking me kung talagang sila talaga forever, well a resounding yes! Tin and Doc already withstood na sa CRAP nung kaming apat ay may girlfriend then nung kaming tatlo naging single, sila eh together pa din! hehe We saw their ups and downs, at yun hirap ng pinagdaanan ng relationship nila lalo na sa part ni Doc na akala di siya matatanggap ng family ni Tin pero siyempre sa courage at sincerity ni Doc eh di lang tanggap ng family ni Tin kung hindi pati yun mga relatives niya. Grabe. hehe Mahirap yun ha, kaya eto ok na at wala nang kaba si Doc, kasal na lang talaga. hahaha
With Tin aaminin ko, at first medyo hirap kami magadjust. hahaha Peace Tin! Pero pagtagal di lang kami nakapagadjust sa kanya, siya rin naman for us at sweet niya lalo na pag birthday ni Doc, kami yun contact niya para isurprise si Doc. hehe At siyempre sobrang ok kasama si Tin minsan nanglalaglag pa. haha Pero masaya kami at nakita namin mahal niya din si Doc kahit ano pa man, kampante kami na magiging masaya sila sa hirap at ginhawa. Siyempre kung love ni Doc si Tin, kami din naman for Tin, love ng CRAP. haha
Di ko akalain na sa tagal ng panahon dati, pakain kain lang kina Igz, or tambay sa UST, or eto counterstrike pag linggo! hahaha Now, not only due to age or other factors, it's the path we choose to enjoy life to the fullest. One of them, getting married. Si Doc, di dahil siyempre best friend namin siya, pero makikita ko na he'll be a great husband but siyempre a great father din. A provider, protector and most of all, leader kung ano man gusto nila tahakin ni Tin na landas eh mangyayari yun basta si Doc eh let him lead the way. Basta may mag guide sa kanya at the best person eh si Tin.
I wish the best of all sa kanilang dalawa, may God bless your relationship and remember that if you let him the center of your marriage, whether in bad times or good times, your love for each other will not only be stronger but it will stand forever.
I accept that next coming years, I won't be surprised that CRAP meetings will be so much less na baka reunion na ang dating. hahaha Siyempre after Doc, eh may plano na din si Architect este si Igz at tuloy na. hehe Si Sir Rheg long delayed at dapat surprise pero alam na ni Khaye, hahaha tuloy na din. I'm relieved that those 3 found their love of their lives. Damn, mukhang aattend ako ng tatlong kasal in a year's time. Geez..
Am I sad that I'm the only left not getting married? No of course, masaya ako kasi since ikakasal na sila, wala na mangbubully sa kin lalo na yun isa diyan. hahahaha Kidding.. MIxed emotions of course, I'm sad kasi mababawasan na yun times of magkakasama kami kahit simpleng kain lang or DOTA lang or kulitan lang. Mamiss ko yun sobra. It helped me at least lessen my stress or any worries in my life. Masaya kasi at least, they found a greater joy which stands forever, living with someone you love most of course, second to Him. Alam ko na kung ano sinabi ko kay Doc eh will apply for the other two but it's such a refreshing feeling that through the years, CRAP evolve from being friends, close friends, brotherhood and now, future fathers of a family. I don't know what's next after that. Grandfathers? hahaha
Nobody can tell, but one thing is for sure, CRAP will always be CRAP. Brothers for life!
As for the food, well sulit siya for 700 something, grabe, ang sarap ng pinoy cuisine at it's finest. Di na nga ako kumain hanggang lunch ng umaga, sobrang busog. Medyo tumatanda na kami, 3 balik lang ako na dapat mga 5. hahaha Si Sir Rheg ako pa tagaubos yun pangalawang plato. Si Igz kakagulat, isang plato lang at dessert na. Si Doc, nakarami, paano ginutom sa stress!!! hahaha Interesting may mga artistang pumunta na dun, nakalagay kasi sa pader yun mga plato with sign ng mga artista. Guevarra's ok siya lalo kung date because of the set up and events like kung marami kayo kakain. Service, ask Doc for that.hehe Forgivable naman pwede na.
Isang feedback lang, yup di pwede commute, medyo maglalakad ka ng mahaba, ang layo from Wilson St. sa Greenhills. Effort to. hahaha Gusto ko ngang balikan para dun sa mga inihaw nila, kaso effort to.
As for me? Oh God, don't expect me to follow that trend right away. hahahaha At least, may tatlong kainan na ko pupuntahan na dapat masarap ang handa! hehe
For now, I'll just stay single and ready to mingle, I suppose. =)
i know to myself that my preferred genre in music is Rock. Well, from my nursery years going forward, I get used to listen to new wave 80's! Then going to high school, that was like the years of grudge and punk stuff. Although I still listen to new wave and New Order then became deeper due to some personal issues, I listened to Joy Division. An escape from daily conflicts and enjoying the dark lyrics of such band.
As I grew up and became aware of their type of sound, well they started as a punk band. At their time at around 1970's Manchester, they were awesome bands such as Sex Pistols, The Clash and Buzzcocks. When they toured in the US which I don't have the exact band, that started the US punk bands.
I became older and curious which are those bands, I found out such as The Ramones, Minor Threat, and that's it. But well, great thing, there is a documentary for this!
First of all, what is punk rock? Well, with all the genres about rock from Hard Rock, Alternative, Grundge, Pop or Slow, or there is also Goth/Emo type, NuMetal, and a lot of varieties. Punk is kinda different from all of it. You see, other types of rock well they kinda only differ in rhythm or pace they use. For Punk, all you need are trashy lyrics, at least one bassist, one lead, vocalist and a simple drummer and a lot of energy!
This documentary really made punk music easy to understand. From those UK great punk bands, up to the first US punk bands even some at the present. I loved how it started then it moving towards how it influenced most of the musicians. I love the parts which has interviews coming from the greats of punk such as Johnny Rotten and Buzzcocks, Clash, then the montages of the yester years! I am surprised that some bands in this documentary started as punk band such as Blondie, Nirvana, Pennywise and I forgot the others.
I also loved how the US punk scene evolve from the years that no record company wants them, even independent labels until it skyrocketed what is today. I loved the interviews from the first US punk bands such as Ramones, Green Day, Offspring, MInor Threat/Fugazi, damn there is another one I forgot! hehe A lot of more actually, telling how it was hard to release a record but it did not stop them going. The early footages of their gigs were awesome, a lot of chaos, diving and raw punk music!
The documentary also shows how well punk music really part of lives of many, which shows through clothing, hairstyle and a lot of accessories and piercings. Which I kinda thought what if I did those things? Nah, it doesn't suits me.
It goes until it cracked into mainstream radio after years of hiding, run from the police and bootlegs, and now, it became one of the integral part of music especially pop music.
But the best part of this documentary was the explanation of how Punk these days became a commercial thing such as fashion statement, even bands that claim to be punk just because they look like one but they are not! Some discrimination from the parts of society because they thought this music makes one evil or worse murderers. I was laughing at that TV show clip showing this whatever. Then there is a scene which shows group of friend who just meet on Sundays, staying at the house with their get up punk and having a great time! Despite well breaking some things in their house.
For me, punk is not only like showing how you dress or claims to be. It should be the avenue of showing agression or hatred in a fast and raw beat. You know what I mean, punk songs doesn't reach 3 mins unlike other rock songs in general. After that, it's done and have a good time whether the punk song is about bad or something good. In life, there are things which happens so bad, you were not even prepared for it. Punk for me makes you kinda listen to your sadness or want to get wild and after that, done. Move on. Except of course, if you're wearing like a punk. That's another story. Punk music is not always about hatred or sadness and stuff, it's also having fun and do crazy things! hehe
Well, these days Punk Music indeed became pop due to some bands who I think and feel don't really know what punk music is. I won't say their names but definitely, you know or you can see them in this documentary. Geez, they even promote goth/emo sh*t. They just attract young girls!
Anyway, it's not a perfect documentary because it kinda short at the end. I hope it's longer to really discuss more of punk music these days but it kinda fast finish the last part. Although they show some but it's sad that these days, large sponsors taking advantage of these live acts especially punk music scene. But this one never short of respecting the pioneers of punk, and great thing..
They still jumping and screaming!!! Rock on!!
"Do you feel lucky, punk?"

(engineer)
Habang naglalakad ako papuntang work eh ang daming ginagawa sa kalsada. Road work, nilalagyan ng aspalto yun daan para kuminis. Sa isip isip ko, nagtitipid lang ang gobyerno. Short term solution but it won't last. hehe Thanks to Dad na hindi lang Architect, kung hindi Engineer pa, tapos mechanic, carpentero and lahat na, alam na. Kaw na po Dad! hehe
Kahit mga buildings sa Makati or any high rise lalo na condos, the reason maganda ang building eh di dahil sa design or materials or even nice tiles or flooring, eh dahil na din sa engineering. Strength kung baga ng building using such design, lalo na wag naman po, earthquakes.
Or kahit sa kotse, kahit anong ganda ng kotse eh kung sirain o ka karag agad sa kaunting mileage eh panget di ba. It lasts long kasi sa engineering ng car.
Engineering also apply halos sa lahat ng bagay, furnitures, supplies, kahit appliances ata or even management!
According sa Wiki, Engineering is defined as "The creative application of scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes, or works utilizing them singly or in combination; or to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions; all as respects an intended function, economics of operation or safety to life and property"
Ibig sabihin it is an engineer's job to make sure that the design works under all conditions in a most safe and efficient way. Mahirap din pala work nila.
Naisip ko kung Engineer ako, anong field kaya?
Chemical pwede kaso may allergic reactions ako, sayang halo halo ng mga chemicals and check if it's safe, ok na! hehe
Mechanical, hmmm palpak ako sa physics eh. hehe Saka di ako nasanay magkalikot ng mga gamit, so ibig sabihin pati Electrical, malabo din.
Geo/Gas is good! Wala naman masyado ata iisipin dun, kaso buhay mo naman ang alanganin lalo kung Mining? Geez, one step to death, all the time. Saka ayoko maassign sa Middle East or sa dagat pag Gas, grabe, kung hindi sa sobrang init at desolate places, mapipirata ka pa sa dagat! Kapapanood lang kasi ng Captain Phillips. hehe
Dalawa lang ang nakikita ko pwede ako. One is Civil Engineering which involves public works and roads, o kahit building. Malaking kita este matutulong sa lahat pag ok siyempre yun mga project kahit simpleng road project or drainage eh ok na yun ha. Lalo kung makakabawas baha o makakaayos ng trapik. Gusto ko kasi dito eh di ka naman gagawa ng malaking building, puro daan, flyover or even foot bridge. hehe Madali lang kung baga.
Lastly computer engineering, which for me suits me. I think it won't only deal sa software, kung hindi sa hardware din, yun strength ng every part of CPU or mobile computing. Lalo na sa mga panahon to, napakabilis magupdate ng software at lalo na ng hardware so it's an endless innovation and engineering to achieve the fastest, effective and smartest computing which we may end up making robots with AI in the future. It may come soon than what we think of.
Well, yun lang naiisip ko na bagay sa kin. Actually akala ko nung bata ako, pag engineer..
Siya yun may suot ng Yellow Hard Hat. hahaha
May ganito pa kong phone namely Nokia X101 pero di ko na dinadala. hehe Actually pang alarm lang siya, malakas kasi maka alarm, talking alarm. Ginagamit ko lang siya pag sa mga holdup prone area or basta delikadong lugar.
Unlike before, sikat ang mga cellphone na may keypad at kahit ano pa software, basta may sounds, call and text ok na!
Well, di na ngayon. Ang isang phone ngayon sa normal user, eh di lang call and text or even kahit may radio pa yan or mp3 or TV.. Ngayon kailangan may internet, multimedia lalo na nakakapanood ng pelikula, Android or IOS ang software and worst, games and apps! At dagdag mo pa ang paramihan na core, na ngayon eight core na!! hehe
Smartphones are like small computers, kasi kulang na lang maglaro ng DOTA sa phone mo. hehe Smartphones talaga ang in at out na mga barphones, so yun mga naka 3310 na dati sobrang sikat na, baka ngayon, pagtatawanan ka pa..
Ang advantage na lang ng analog or barphone eh size. Lalo kung di mo trip ang mga smartphone, ganito na lang telepono mo at ayos na! Di naman mga 6inches ang mga telephone na to. hehe Or may 2gb na RAM! Simple lang at iwas holdup pa. hehe Naalala ko, yun naholdup ako dati, mabuti na lang sobrang liit ng 6510 ko, di nakapkap ng holdaper. Nakuha yun walet ko at pera, pero yun phone, nasa ilalim ng bulsa ko eh ayun, di nakuha. hehe
I think that these phones won't be out sa market. Kasi naman, it's for the oldies naman. Si Daddy nga yun X2 pa din gamit niya kahit pwede naman siya magsmartphone. Si Mommy, kahit nakatouchscreen parang gusto na lang ng luma kasi hirap sa touch. hehe O kahit ibang matanda na may smartphone pang display lang pero ginagamit eh yun analog para sa araw araw.
Magulat na lang ako pag yun apple naglabas pa ng ganitong phone na may IOS. hehe Geez, kaka miss din yun ganitong phone, lalo na yun mga camera na ganito. Saka kahit ako, mas nasanay ako lalo sa text pag ganitong phone. Bihira magkamali kasi sa text, kahit nakapikit o san nakatining makakatext ako ng tama. Sa smartphone ko yun daliri ko minsan nagkakamali, kaya dapat pala 4.8 hanggang 5.2 inches yun phone ko dapat. Sa lumang barphone, zero mali sa txt. hehe
Kaya ako hmmm tago ko pa din yun X101 ko. Yun X2 ko sana kaso bumigay na. hahaha Sad..
Pero totoo, kakatuwa lang na may ganito ka padin phone.
Matibay at maasahan. Kasi at least pag nabagsak buhay pa at kung may sira, parepair lang sa technician.
Eh pag G2 nabagsak, good buy 20K! hahaha
