don't know why..

'Yan ang huling song na narining ko kagabi. Ang lungkot..
Dati hindi ko masyado maintindihan yun ibang lines pero habang umuulit ulit siya, mukhang nakukuha ko na.

-------------------------
Meron bang Month of Goodbyes? Kung meron man, siguro ngayong September yun.

Si Shaun, GM namin, nag-resign na. Nung Friday ang last day nya dito. Nag-surprise despedida party kami last Thrusday. Nakakatuwa yun video at the same time nakakaungkot din, kahit hindi kami close.

Si Ching, pumuntang US last Tuesday. Nag-aayos siya ng gamit nung natulog ako. Nagising din ako nun paalis na siya around 4am pero hindi ako bumangon para magpaalam. Hindi ako nakatulog pagkaalis nya. Ayun tuloy, late ko sa work. 6am ang pasok ko pero almost 7am na ko dumating! Ewan. Pero 2 weeks lang siya dun. After 3 weeks pagbalik nya dito, aalis na siya ulit for 6 months naman.

Si Mai, lumipat na ng place. Sa Pasay area na siya mag-sstay. Ibig sabihin, hindi na kami sabay uuwi from work. Nung Tuesday ang huling gabi na magkasabay kami.

Si Cris, ok na yun fiance visa nya. Kagabi, habang nagaayos ako para matulog, sabi nya "bye bye, aalis na ko." Alam kong aalis na nga siya this week pero hindi ko lang napag-uusapan with her. Tapos, kagabi ko lang napansin na nakaligpit na yun gamit nya -- wala na ang kobre-kama at unan, naka-bag na ang mga damit nya. Sabi ko, "oo nga no?". Bago siya bumaba, nag-kiss sya at nagbbye ulit kasi daw baka hindi na kami magkita kinabukasan pag-alis nya.

Mag-isa ako sa kwarto kagabi. Hindi ako makatulog. Pag dumidilat ako, nakikita kong walang laman yun kabilang double-deck. At wala ding tao sa baba ng kama ko -- wala si Monique, hindi sya natuloy lumipat ng place pero palagi syang wala ngayon kasi busy sa thesis nya.

---------------------

Nae-LSS ako sa line na "I feel empty as a drum". Pero ibang kwento na 'to.

to suffer in style..

Last Sunday, I heard mass at Calaruega with some friends. Travel time was about 3 hours including a quick breakfast at Jolibee. We arrived just before the 11am mass started. It was only my second time to be there.


this is the church [more photos in www.pbase.com/tekgik/tagytay]

The priest (I think his name is Fr. Rico) was great. Everyone was awake (and laughing) during his sermon. How ironic becuse the gospel is about suffering and carrying one's cross. He kept saying at the end of each of his funny stories, "mahirap ang buhay...". And he would say this in such a way that you'd want to cry -- cry in joy. Hindi ko ma-explain pero kakaiba yun feeling ng realization na 'to.

The problem with us, he said, is we often mistake problems with difficulties. There are solutions for the first one. And as for the latter, we'll just have to deal with it. There are no solutions and there's nothing we can do.

He said that life here on earth is about suffering. But we can always "suffer in style."

i hope it's not what i think it is ... (really)

Around 6pm, someone sent me an IM. It just said hi, followed by how s/he addresses me and a sad smiley (hmm.. sad smiley? hehe) -- sad emoticon. I felt weird. Anyway, I checked the emoticon toolbar to check if the happy emoticon and sad emoticon are placed next to each other. They are. So, i thought s/he just did a mistake. I replied with a plain 'hello' message and didn't bother to ask if there was anything wrong. Besides, we are not that close. I received no reply. afterwards.

After a few minutes, s/he replied back. S/he said sorry for the late reply. S/he said s/he has a big problem. The sad emoticons are in the messages. My assumption was incorrect. Something is wrong. I asked her/him what the problem is. Again, no reply. I closed the IM window after some time. Then, this followed. I'll changed her/his Y! ID to protect her/his identity.

unknown: sorry ngayun lng ako nakapag reply
BUZZ!!!
lil_avalanche: ano po?
unknown: --- ---
unknown: tita ko kc nasa hospital
unknown: critical nasa icu
unknown: na hearth attack
lil_avalanche: ulit?
unknown: i mean, na-heart attack ulit?
unknown: now lng
unknown: wait
lil_avalanche: ah..
unknown: --- ---
unknown: pde ba ako borrow ng 3k syo
unknown: pay ko na lang tom or saturday
lil_avalanche: naku, pasensya na po.. wala ako mapapahiram eh
unknown: kahit sna shareload lng pra makacall cousin ko
lil_avalanche: teka, iba pa ba yan tita mo na na-heart attack dn dati?
BUZZ!!!
****end of IM*****

From what I can remember, this is only the 2nd time we've had a private IM conversation. The 3rd one would be in a conference. In the first private IM, s/he told me that her/his tita was hospitalized for the same reason and that s/he was sad because it was one of her/his closest tita. I tried to console her/him at that time and somehow the conversation just ended there. Either s/he or I no longer replied at that time.

That is the reason why I felt weird when I first read her/his IM today. It was the same thing s/he told me. That is the reason why I asked 'ulit?' at the first part of the conversation. And I'm sure it isn't deja vu.

That is the reason why I didn't lend her/him money. Why would s/he ask me when there are other people closer to her/him -- relationship wise and proximity wise. Why me?

I was feeling bad because I'm thinking such things of her/him when her/his last message came in -- 'kahit sna shareload lng pra makacall cousin ko'. Again, why me, of all people? Isn't it easier to ask the ones s/he is with right now?

Just to be sure, I asked if it was the same tita that was hospitalized before. But s/he didn't reply. I buzzed her/him but still no reply.

Was it someone else? But I checked her/his Y! ID, it was her/him. I even checked our egroup to see if I have the correct ID. I have. Was someone else using her/his account? But how could that person know me?

My hands are so cold. I can't believe what just happened. I don't know if I should tell the story and who s/he really is to other people. To people who know her/him. Anyway, maybe it's enough that I've told it here.

By the way, s/he is still online but haven't replied. I've buzzed her/him again. If s/he does reply, I'll post it here.

bagong PC atbp.

Bago na ang PC ko! Yey! (next time, magdadala ko ng cam para maipakita ko dito).

Kaya lang hindi na-copy ng maayos yun ibang files at emails kaya inayos ko pa kanina. Hindi ko pa din alam kung alin pang files ang nawawala. Malalaman ko na lang pag kailangan ko na yun mga yun at hindi ko makita.

Kanina, may "nang-away" sa akin na client. Taga-Hong Kong. Pero kahit papano 'naayos' naman. Sana nga. Minsan kasi akala mo ok na tapos after sometime, kakausapin ka ng mga bossing about sa nangyari.

Kahapon, 'napagalitan' naman ako ng isang Big Boss na based sa Singapore. Pero cool lang ako habang sinsabon nya ko sa phone. Medyo na-weirduhan din siguro sya kasi wala akong masyadong reaction. Tama naman din kasi sya. hehe Ano bang meron sa araw na week na 'to? Bakit madaming nagagalit sa kin? Oh, well.

------------

Malapit na lumipat ng place yun 2 kong roomates. Dapat kasama ako na aalis kaso lang medyo inconvenient sa kin yun lilipatan kaya hindi ako sasama. Ma-mimiiss kaya nila ko? At ma-mimiss ko kaya sila? Malamang. Kami lang kasi yun maingay sa bhaus. Mga pasaway. Mga feeling may-ari ng bhaus -- ibig sabihin, kami ang madalas na may hawak ng remote control ng tv! haha Mga mahilig kumain (grabeng kain!).

Naalala ko, ganun din ang nangyari sa dorm ko nun college. After 1 year lumipat din ng place yun roomates ko. Is it me? hehe Pero hindi naman siguro. Swerte nga ako sa mga kasama sa bahay eh. Nakakasundo ko naman sila at napagtitiyagaan nila yun kakulitan ko. hehe Nagkakataon lang talaga na nakakahanap sila ng mas ok na place kaya sila umaalis.

Willy Wonka: I always thought a verruca was a type of wart you got on the bottom of your foot. Ha, ha.

Willy Wonka: Everything in this room is *eat*able. Even I'm *eat*able. But that is called cannibalism, my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies.

Grandma Georgina: You smell like peanuts. I like peanuts.
Willy Wonka: You smell like old people... and soap. I like it.

Grandpa George: Charlie, money is everywhere. They print more and more of it every day. But that ticket? There are only five of them, and that's all there's ever going to be. Only a dummy would give this up for something as common as money. Are you a dummy?

A HERBAL Remedy for LIFEACHE.
by the cartoonist Michael Leunig

Your whole life is sore; it hurts when you move it.
HERBAL REMEDY.
Take one patch of grass, a mild day and two large, green trees.
Lie on the grass beneath one tree and contemplate the other tree.
Nap from time to time or gaze occasionally at the grass.
Pain will subside. Lifeache cannot be cured but you can learn to MANAGE THE SYMPTOMS.

**the cartoon version is better, but i can't find one..

Headaches and Lifeaches
By Laurie Kiel
04/30/04

The headache begins tentatively, lightly tapping the inside of my temples politely asking for attention. I ignore it and go about my daily distractions. The tapping turns to pounding, as the headache refuses to be dismissed. I pick up the aspirin bottle, preparing to swallow a handful of hoped for relief. I set it down, and pick up a large glass of water. Not to wash down the aspirin but to replace it. I down the water, and then another, and another. And slowly, the headache subsides. It was a dehydration headache. It’s easy to misdiagnose since a headache, not thirst, is the cry for water.

My lifeache begins tentatively, lightly tapping the inside of my heart politely asking for attention. I ignore it and go about my daily distractions. The tapping turns to pounding, as the life ache refuses to be dismissed. I’m depressed, irritable, unsatisfied. I’m tempted to drown my sorrows in food, in television , or in reading a tabloid. But instead I pick up God’s Word, water to my thirsty soul. It was a dehydration life ache. It’s easy to misdiagnose since a lifeache, not spiritual thirst, is the cry for God’s water.

The best way for me to avoid that dehydration headache is to keep drinking deep of fresh, clear water and keep myself fully hydrated. The best way for me to avoid a life ache is to keep drinking deep of the fresh clear water of the Word and keep myself fully spiritually hydrated.

Whether it’s a life ache or a headache, distraction will never cure dehydration. But God’s wonderful water will… if I only drink it in.

sinong 'di mapapasayaw sa ulan..

I went to Ateneo this morning. I was supposed to do 5 things but was only able to accomplish 2 of them. The main reason why I went there was to drop by the Pathways office to have an orientation on their Tutoring Program. I was planning to be a volunteer teacher. However, last night while I was reading the ACET invititation to be an Examiner, I realized that I cannot volunteer as a teacher because ACET examiners should not be invloved in any tutorial service to High School students. Oh, well..

--------------

I was soaking wet when I arrived in school. Tumutulo kasi yun bubong nung nasakyan kong trike, tapos lumakas pa yun ulan pagbaba ko. At hindi lang yun, medyo baha yun daan sa may SEC papuntang chapel! Anyway, ano pa nga ba magagawa ko, eh basa na ko eh. The show must go on, sabi nga.

-------------

Pumasok muna ako ng chapel bago pumunta ng OAA. Masarap ang pakiramdam kahit basang basa ako. Medyo magulo nga ata yun conversation ko with Him. Ang dami kasing bumalik na memories nung umupo ako dun. Medyo madalas ako sa chapel nun college eh. Natatawa nga ako kanina nun naalala ko na nagdadasal ako dahil sa isang Math subject nun 1st year. Nahirapan talaga ko sa subject na yun! haha

-------------

Basta, kahit magulo isip ko kanina sigurado akong nagpasalamat ako sa Kanya para sa lahat. Pati na rin sa malakas na ulan.

--------------

By 1pm, nandito na ko sa office. Wala namang masyadong work so ok na Friday ito. hehe Manonod dapat kmi ng Charlie and the Chocolate Factory mamyang gabi pero hindi natuloy. Pero tuloy pa din ang dinner.

--------------

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako nagkkwento. Pero magandang sign 'to. It means I'm recovering from the Lifeache episode I've had a couple of weeks ago. The issue wasn't resolved (yet) pero mas ok na ang pakiramdam ko. Mas nakakatulog na ng maayos.

--------------

Basta since Monday, may kakaibang aura. It must be the rain...

Your Power Color Is Red-Orange

At Your Highest: You are warm, sensitive, and focused on your personal growth. At Your Lowest: You become defensive and critical if you feel attacked. In Love: You are loyal - but you demand the respect you deserve. How You're Attractive: You are very affectionate and inspire trust. Your Eternal Question: "Am I Respected?"

if i were rich...

Naisip ko lang, kung sobrang yaman ko, hindi ko gagamitin yun pera para bayaran ang utang ng Pilipinas. Gagamitin ko yun para ipambili ng plane tickets tapos ibibigay ko sa lahat ng nagsabi sa kin ng "Ayoko na sa Pilipinas", "Alis na tayo dito", etc.

Pag may nasasabi sa kin ng ganyan, gusto ko sagutin ng "Tutulungan na kita mag-ayos ng gamit." Ewan ko, basta ayoko nakakarinig ng ganito. Nakakainis. Nakakasira ng araw.

Ok lang naman umalis, pero sana mas maganda ang dahilan. Mas matatanggap ko pa kung sasabihin mo sa kin na gusto mong makakita ng snow. Gusto ko din makakita nun noh. hehe

Nabuur: Mutendere, Zambia

This is posted in the News Section of Nabuur.com.

Nabuur is about people helping people, in the big things, in the small things. Whenever we lend a hand, we can change somebody’s life. Ralph Sebente, the active local representative from Mutendere in Zambia, shared this story with us.

“Due to the effect of HIV/AIDS many orphans are spilled in the streets roaming it. Yesterday morning coming from posting a "Get well soon" card to the Wares family at the post office, on my way to the school I passed by 'Vinga bakery' within my community.

I noticed a boy staring into the window of the bakery. I stood behind him, could be 7 or 8 years. He did not notice me because his eyes were glued on the good things inside.

After a few minutes I spoke to him. "Son, would you like some of those?"

The boy quickly responded, "O, yes I would"

Then I went inside bought a loaf and two cap cakes put them in a plastic bag and handed the bag to him. I turned to walk away and then felt a small hand touching me.

I turned around the child said, "Mister are you God?"

I failed to hold tears from my eyes. True we are never more like God than when we give because God so loved the world that He gave.”


The Neighbors of Mutendere are building a school. If you want to help, visit them at Mutendere.nabuur.com/

At dahil nga 1 year na kami ni Mai (sabay kami pumasok), hindi kami nakatakas sa kantyaw ng Team. Actually sabay din kami nag-exam, interview, training. Lahat na ata sabay kami eh.

Anyway, ayan tuloy, nag-lunch out kami sa Recipes in Greenbelt.


medyo malabo ang pix: Kat, Rania, Cielo, me, Mai, Niño


After lunch, bumili naman kami ng pasalubong sa Gonuts Donuts para sa kabilang Team. Buti na lang din sabay kami ni Mai, at least share kami sa libre. hehe

rubbing the eye with dirty hands is bad.. (a true story)

I went to American Eye Center this morning. The eye check-up was originally planned last March but things always came up whenever I went there. But yesterday, my right eye was really hurting. It wasn't sore or anything but it did hurt.

It turns out that I have a little eye infection. That's what you get when you rub your eyes with dirty hands. So, I'll avoid doing that from now on. However, you can also get it from dust and other pollutants. This is Metor Manila, so I guess I can't do anything about that. (On second thought, I can wear sunglasses. Hmmm...)

Anyway, nothing serious (I hope so). I just have to put some eyedrops 4 times a day for 1 week. And if symptoms persist, consult the Doctor again.



This eyedrop cost me Php279.50. And guess what? It's just 5ml! So, I'll have to be very careful when dropping them. Its a good thing, I can reimburse this. (Lord Thomson is generous when it comes to medical/optical stuff). By the way, I didn't pay anything for the check-up because it's also covered by our Health Care provider. (Thomson should pay me for advertising the company. haha)

I also got a raffle ticket from Mercury Drug. If luck gets on my side, I'll drive home a new Mitsubushi Adventure GL.


----------
New Learning: The eyes are connected to the throat. I could taste the eyedrop shortly after I've put them in my eyes. (doesn't taste good..)


Out of curiousity, I checked out my Doctor's profile. His name is Carl James Chua. Impressive. Seems like I'm in good hands. :)

my bestfriend's bday

This photo was taken at NBS in Glorietta adn I'm posting it here without asking his permission. And dami kasing kumakain kaya dumaan muna kami sa NBS to check out some books. Actually, siya lang naman ang titingin ng books.



I found out that he just brought a Green Iguana the other day. It was a dream come true for him in a way as he had been wanting to have one since HS but could not find one, so he just contented himself with a Philippine Iguana back then. He was the pet lover in the class - exotic/unusual pet lover that is. He'd take care of iguanas, turtles, monkeys (yes he brought it to school 1 time), even a bayawak, etc etc. We call his place a zoo.

He found an interesting book that night but had no money to buy it. So while he was busy reading (and taking notes! I saw him wrote some notes on his palm) I got a copy and went to the counter.
Then, I handed it over to him on the way home.



I wish he had a happy birthday...

Anak ng Jeuteng!

PAMPANGA Representative Juan Miguel "Mikey" Arroyo, national police chief General Arturo Lomibao, and three congressmen from Albay province received regular "payola" from "jueteng," a self-confessed operator disclosed to the Senate on Monday. [taken from INQ7.com]

Parang nangyari na to ah? hmm...

The Estrada presidency was soon dogged by charges of plunder and corruption, and he was reported by his adviser Edilberto Lacquian to spend long hours drinking with shady characters. In October 2000, an acknowledged gambling racketeer, Luis Singson, governor of the province of Ilocos Sur, alleged that he had personally given Estrada the sum of 400 million pesos as payoff from illegal gambling profits. [taken from Answers.com]

Ano bang meron sa Jueteng na yan? See Randy David's article

Kung totoo nga yan, mai-impeach din kaya si GMA? Magkakaroon kaya ng People Power 4? Magiging Presidente ba natin si Kabayang Noli? Ayayay!

missing in action

Hindi ko alam kung may nakapansin na nawala ako ng ilang araw nung nakaraang linggo. Siguro naman meron. Umuwi ako ng Nueva noong weekend tapos pumunta ng Baguio noong Tuesday and Wednesday. Dumalaw kasi yun kapatid ko na nakatira na sa Davao kasama ang wife nya at yun panganay nila. Naiwan sa Davao yun mas bata, si Giero. Dumalaw din yun panganay namin na pinsan kasama yun buong family nya.

Syempre, magulo sa bahay dahil ang daming bata batuta. Ngayon lang kami ulit nakumpleto na magkakapatid. Ako at ang apat kong mga kuya.


---------------

Pumunta kami sa Baguio. Sa pagkakatanda ko, ngayon lang kami nag-bakasyon na magkakasama. Well, hindi rin pala kasi hindi kasama si Dikong. Siya ang taong-bahay. Hindi kasi kami talaga lumalabas na sama-sama. Ewan ko ba kung bakit.

Hmm.. pangalawa na pala yun. Kasi, noong ikinasal si Mel (siya yun sinundan ko), pumunta kami lahat sa Davao. Gastos! Hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi ko siya tinatawag na Kuyang pero yun ang dapat. Sabagay, hindi rin naman nya tinatawag na sangko si Sangko. Ricco lang ang tawag nya. Kaya ok lng din siguro.
