Tomasino noon, Tomasino ngayon, Sino?

Pangalawang talata

Noon..

Naabutan pa namin ang electric fan na classroom na sobrang init, lalo pasok pa namin 3pm pa! Grabe, kailangan may dala kang pamaypay kahit lalaki ka. hahaha Pero naabutan naman namin yun air-con!

Ngayon..

Grabe, lahat ata ng classroom of all colleges eh Air-con na! Mabuti naman, at mukhang naimprove na din ang mga rooms. Dapat lang pati sa commerce! Ewan ko lang kung nagimprove ang curriculum. hehe

Noon..

Akalain mo aabot pa yun style ng Ate ko ng ID nila. Remember that white ID tapos nakalagay anong college? hehe Tapos lalagyan na lang ng sticker pag ka enroll mo! Well, nagbago naman nung around 3rd year na, gold na yun ID at ayun na, electronic na. Swipe kung baga. Nagamit ko naman yun discount sa pagpaopera ko noon. hehe

Ngayon..

Nagulat ako na nagpalit na naman ng style yun ID, gold plus the sticker! Geez, they could just remove the sticker and have it centralized the ID system. I don't know kung bakit di nila nagagawa yun! Di ko lang sure, kung lumaki ang discount para sa students pag naospital. hehe

Noon..

Well, after that split of CAFA na naging arkhi at CFAD na.. Kami din sa commerce eh dapat magbabago din kaso di namin naabutan. Other colleges seems to be the same, nothing changed pagdating sa name.. Or whatever. Basta sa college of commerce, di pa din kami faculty status noon.. Crap!

Ngayon..

Akalain mo naghiwalay na all mighty accountancy from Commerce then etong commerce parang may specialty na for every aspect in the corporate world. From finance, HR at marketing at entrep! Well, sad to say, di namin naabutan at mas mabuti ata nangyari sa graduates nila ha! Hmmmmmm...

Noon.. 

Wendy's na nasa dapitan, BK katabi niya, tapos PC quest at may navarra na bilyaran, ball room tapos maraming computer shop sa buong dapitan.. Sama mo pa ang mga sulit na kainan at tambayan! Isama mo pa ang coop canteen na nasa gitna o malapit sa commerce building at tinoko park. 

Ngayon..

Wendy's na lang ang natira sa dapitan na kilala ko.. Yun ibang binanggit ko, wala na! Bakit?! Anak ng !!!!


Sa huling kabanata!

broken lines (collection 56)

Gaano na ba ako katanda?
Di na makasabay sa mga uso ngayon..
Huli na sa mga musika pinatututog!
Nagugulat na lang na ganito na pala ang ginagawa..

Gaano na ba ako katanda?
Kaliwa't kanan ang mga nagpapakasal at nagkakapamilya,
samantala ako eh talagang buhay binata pa..
Mga nakakagulat na pagbabago sa mga taong di mo inakala.

Gaano na ba ako katanda?
Parang kailan lang, kaedad ko lang ang katrabaho ko..
Ngayon, may kuya na tawag sa kin, at malayo na agwat ng edad ko.
Talagang masasabi ko na tumanda na ko.

Gaano na ba  ako katanda?
Dati lang iniisip ko ang kapakanan ko, at hinaharap..
Pero dahil sa mga pagkakataon na di ko akalain, nagiba na lahat.
Iniisip ko na di lang sarili ko, kung hindi ang mga aalagaan ko pa.

Gaano na ba  ako katanda? 
Dati nagaalala ako kung anong araw na.
Sa ngayon, gusto ko lang matapos ang bawat araw na maayos at masaya.
Natanto ko na importante ang buhay na ibinigay niya.

Gaano na ba ako katanda?
Pag may dekadang pinaguusapan na di nila alam, ako taga kwento..
Pag may mga pangyayari sadyang nilimot na, ako taga pagpaalala..
Sadyang maraming na ko pinagdaanan, kahit gusto ko limutin, biglang aalahanin!

Gaano na ba ako katanda?
Kung dati'y di lintana ang hirap na darating,
pero dahil sa pagtagal ng panahon..
Mas mabuti pagisipan mabuti ang mga desisyon na tatahakin.

Gaano na ba ako katanda?
Sa daming tama at mali nangyari sa kin, dati'y ako'y palaging nangangamba..
Samantala ngayon, sa mga darating na pagsubok o  problema..
Dapat maging matatag ang aking pananampalataya sa Kanya.

Gaano na ba ako katanda?
Sa dami ko nasabing mga talata, 
pakiramdam ko di naman ako matanda na.
Tumatanda pa lang. 
Papunta pa lang ako!

Gaano na ba ko katanda?
Isang dekada ay parang kahapon lang..
Lahat ng hirap o sarap, sadyang..
Lumipas lang sabay sa aking pagtanda.

17. Actually may ibang dreams ako pero I translated to goals na lang since, ehem gagawin na po. hehe Secret.. 

18. Talagang mahina ko kumain at mukhang sa pagtanda mas hihina pa. It's good news I guess. 

19. Despite I read other blogs, I read more other websites with content or news. Not bad. For inspiration purposes.

20. I hope I read this way earlier in my life. Tamang tama lalo na it happened these past 3-4 years.. http://www.businessinsider.com/why-seeking-less-not-more-is-the-key-to-a-fulfilling-life-2015-4

almost gone: analog/barphones

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

three decades of me

At 28, I should be married but unfortunately.. Eto I'm 30 and single. hehe

30 years. Can you imagine na napakabilis ng panahon... Dati eh palabas labas, inom or gimik, now.. Looking forward for other plans in life to be steady and successful.

A long way, very long way I can say na successful na ko. After all what happened in my life, I ended up now, contented and happy but not satisfied. As reality speaks to me, I'm quite behind.

However, mabuti after all that eh di naman failure or sobrang sama ng state ang buhay ko, I feel still blessed, loved and happy. Thanks for my family that always there for me, kahit ano ang situation eh mahal naman ako. hehe Thanks to my friends, CRAP, close friends, CG, ah mga naging at current team mates, hmmm new somewhat friends. hehe Thanks to my community LOJ for such a spiritual growth in me. Sana maging ok ang paiging servant ko in the future. hahaha 

Siyempre kay God that always provides, Jesus for the love and forgiveness always, accepts who I am, even healing and guidance everyday. Holy Spirit for guidance in this so called journey. =)

Now, marami pa ko mga gusto gawin but medyo hinay hinay ata due to age. hehe Anyhow, I am determined to step foward through change but still keep, the same me. =) I know of course, life is not that long in this earth.. But it won't stop you enjoying it in the right way, in a most hollistic way.. 

I just hope that when another year comes to me..

I am a better person, bit by bit.

Well, di ko pa rin ialarm sa fb yun birthday ko! 

=( di ko kasi alam, ang hirap hanapin. hehe

Thanks for those, who remember.. 

For me, three decades, is it the new 20 perhaps?

getting old on the 3rd day..

yes, I never thought that I will get old that fast I guess.. hehe my eyes get blurry so I need to wear my glasses almost all the time.. so poor of me.. anyway.. after 4 days of getting stressed out.. at last, at the very last day.. we are avail at least.. hehe so there will be a small feast later, after my shift, but I will sleep first.. I hope they will come.. my best friends of course.. hehe when I woke up at 7pm, my auntie from Laguna came at our house.. my sister as well came to the house with her family.. it's like a reunion.. and I know there will be many reunions to come because June is our birthday month.. in my family.. I may get fat for this month.. hehe oh well, last day is not only laid back but also easy.. I love it.. hehe time is fast for this day..

I will change my settings for this account.. I mean the background and color of my multiply account.. I will do this at my free time.. by the way, Happy Father's day to all pops.. especially my dad.. We love you and be healthy always ok? hehe I've read the reviews for Metal Gear Solid 4 and they gave almost a perfect 10.. so I have a reason to buy a PS3 just for Metal Gear.. hehe solid snake is my idol, of course naked snake, his pops.. I read the reviews and they say it's a breakthrough game with great cinematic cut scenes.. so the hype is true.. no doubt about it.. life is indeed, not only hard or harsh, but also happy and spontaneous.. is it the right spelling? hehe unpredictable is also a better metaphor in life.. so many things that happen all of the sudden, either it's favorable to you or most of the time not.. but we are still here, hoping for the best and solving all those bothersome problems.. hehe but well, that's life.. come and go.. I don't know yet what will I do for the next 2 days of my day off.. planning I guess.. hmmm more sleep.. because this past week.. I was so busy.. and I lack some hours of sleep.. I don't know.. but I believe I can rest.. I can be in peace in these days off..

anyhow.. whatever.. I am just eager to go home after this lousy week.. hehe so take care.. God bless to all! good day and good luck!
