Farewell 2010

8:56... ang ingay na sa labas... pero mas lamang ang torotot sa paputok.... indikasyon na naghihirap na talaga ang mga tao... kahit ako hindi ako bumili ng paputok.... pero hindi naman ako ganun naghihirap... nagiging praktikal lang...

3 hours na lang bagong taon na... first time ko icelebrate ang bagong taon sa bahay ko... (hindi bahay ng nanay o ng tatay ko)... sarap ng pakiramdam na totally independent na ko at this age... dalawa lang kami dito ni mahal ngayon (first time din kami mag celebrate ng new year dito)... gusto tallaga namin icelebrate ang new year dito para masabing bahay nga talaga to... isa pa, para maitaboy namin ang kung anumang masamang espiritu meron dito kahit sa tingin ko e wala naman.... isa pa pala, para pumasok din ang swerte samin... sort of blessing na rin kasi hindi ko naman to napa bless sa pari bago namin tirhan...

Gumawa lang kami ng fruit salad na dadalhin rin namin sa ermat ko mamaya pagtapos ng putukan...

Lucky 13

Today's our 13th monthsarry....

Unlike the usual lovers who go out on a date during weekends, exchange texts messages the whole day and chat the whole night, I and Shaine are lucky enough because we see each other everyday and sleep together every night... Sabi nila kadalasan sa mga magkasintahan ay nagkakahiwalay dahil kulang sa panahon sa isa't isa o biktima ng tinatawag na "long-distance relationship"... good thing we are of the exception...

Shaine was only 19 when we decided to live together... di na kami dumaan sa bf-gf stage... we went out on a date for like two to three times and then we decided to share the same room na... As for me, I am due to a married life... At the age of 27, I have a stable job, I owned a small condo unit - only a wife is lacking... The problem is, Shaine is in the opposite... She's not finished with her studies yet, she is jobless, and worse, she's somewhat young... I feel like I deprived her of her dreams...


Shaine's a nice girl... Among my girlfriends, sa kanya ko lang nakita ang hinahanap ko sa isang babae... malambing, maasikaso, mapagmahal, di ako tinatalakan pag may kasalanan ako di tulad ng karaniwang babaeng maybahay... She's submissive... She leave to me all the decision makings... Although sometimes we have misunderstandings, she initiates the "sorry"... kahit ako may kasalanan... she somehow managed to handle my bad attitude of being ma-pride... and by that, ayoko na syang pakawalan...

Siguro sya na nga ang soulmate ko... maraming nagsasabing magkamukha daw kami... pagka ganun daw kasi, yun ang nagkkatuluyan at nagtatagal... I'm not a superstitious myself... but this time, I want to...

We've been together for one year now and I'm happy that our relationship is getting stronger... Though we both desire a baby na, mabuti na rin na wala pa dahil nageenjoy pa kami sa care ng bawat isa... and besides, we are both under obligation to render help to our respective families... if ever, we can't give full attention to our baby as yet...

I know we're on the first step pa lang... marami pang darating sa min na maaring sumubok sa aming relasyon... marami pang mangyayari... Kahit gustuhin ko na sana laging ganito, alam kong hindi pwede... If ever you read this Shaine, I want you to know that I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MAHAL and I want to grow old with you... Happy 13th monthsarry.... Sana bago tayo mag 2nd year anniversary may baby shaine na tayo... :)

HP 7 (Part 1)

Finally, the first installment of the Harry Potter epic finale...

We decided to have it viewed on a Saturday (Nov. 20) to see to it that our minds and body are in good condition in front of the wide screen of imax theatre... I doubted kung talagang excited ang mga kaibigan ko manood ng Harry Potter considering na di naman sila ganun kaadik katulad ko... The idea of watching the movie together might be self-explanatory...

As early as Nov. 18, nagpareserve na kami ng tiket para makapili ng magandang spot... we picked the saturday sked at 8:00 p.m. to accommodate Jo who has to end class at 7 p.m. Ironically, kami pa ni Shaine ang huling dumating sa imax... buti na lang naabutan namin yung logo ng Warner Brothers... sakto pagkaupo as if inantay talaga kami... Maricel and Mike, Jo and Alvin, Nald and Kc and Janet (na walang partner tsk tsk) were seated comfortably when we arrived... For the record, first time ko makasama mahal ko manood ng Harry Potter... So, this one is worth to take note of... :)

The lights were shut off... and the movie commenced... I was surprised that Yexley, a deatheater, who is supposed to be arguing against Snape regarding Harry's escape on the first part of the book, was not introduced... But no problem cuz this did not alter the storyline... Although I had read (fully comprehend) the book, I was still anxious to see the next scenes... Lalo na nung tinamaan ng killing spell si Hedwig... Nalungkot ako ng sobra sa part na to... Apart from Ron and Hermione, Hedwig has no doubt filled the emptiness inside Harry as an orphan for about 6 years... well justified sa book as compared to the movie...

I was also expecting the appearance of Viktor Krum during Bill and Fleur's wedding... Sabi nga ni Wheng (friend kong adik din - if I were Harry, she's Hermione), sayang ang talent fee para kay Krum dahil yun lang naman ang appearance nya sa movie... I agree... Although I understand that in the book, there is a reappearance of Krum in the later part... Anyway, the movie is full of action as expected... When Voldemort managed to get the Elder Wand (one of the Hollows) from Dumbledore's tomb, he raised it up and a huge lightning came out from it... THE END...

Tulad ng marami, nabitin talaga ako... sayang nga lang at hindi na-explain in more details sa movie ang tungkol sa mga horcruxes na hinahanap nila Harry... Ganun din ang mga Hollows at ang relasyon nito kina Dumbledore at Grindelwald.... too bad for the squibs (witches or wizards who do not perform magic like Mr. Filch... in muggle term, they are the people who know of the HP books and yet never read them) who rely solely on the movies...

I respect everyone's preference though... I had long been wanting Shaine to enter the magical world of Harry Potter... Unfortunately, she cannot penetrate the barrier leading to Platform 9 3/4... She tried to wave a wand but the result is as worse as Seamus Finnigan's... Maybe not now.... I will just have to wait for the right time...

Next year (i guess sometime in May) will be the second part.... Nakakalungkot kasi wala na ko aabangan... only one thing is certain, however... My wizard blood will continue to run through my veins forever (di halatang adik...lol)...

DRACO DORMIENS NUNQUAM TITILLANDUS!!!

~Scar goes WI-FI~

Yipeeeee.... I finally got a new phone courtesy of Sun Cellular... Model: Samsung GT-S3653W (corby) Color: Black and White.....

Enough of going to the nearest store to reload and the strenuous typing of keywords to convert to the unlimited as I turn postpaid this time... har har!!... I hope I wouldn't be frustrated as what happened when I was using postpaid via Globe... I was supposed to avail of a new phone from the said telecommunication company (it's like a new contract since I already consummated the previous one)... Unfortunately, Globe only offered me rebate on my bill and a discount to i-phone... Without asking whether it was a joke, I pressed the NO DEAL button, and the conversation ended....

I feel so excited because I have now the privilege of using wi-fi on my new phone... good thing I have wireless net connection at home... I can connect anytime to the internet without going to the mall while sipping coffee at Starbucks....

~Scar's Birthday Bash~

I am supposed to be at work today today but I availed of the privilege of taking a leave of absence on my birthday (a practice in government office)... I turned 28 yesterday... As early as October 6, I had been celebrating my birthday and up to now, I still am under the state of euphoria....

I wasn't expecting our section would give me such kind of birthday celebration... They prepared a small program as if I am a kid celebrating my birthday at Jollibee... What made me ecstatic was that I received a portrait of myself holding a wand (they cut Harry Potter's head and put mine instead) as a birthday present... Of course, they are aware that I am a Potter freak... I don't know if it is fair enough for my 2 months stay in this office... Needless to mention, my former officemates came in and a joyous celebration ensued....

I was also surprised that many people remembered my birthday as they simultaneously sent their greetings through Facebook...

My 28 years of existence is worth it... /smile

~Serendipity~

I did not report for work today. As early as 2:00 a.m., I already had set my mind with this stupid idea. Simply, I knew I will be having another worse Monday with my Boss there nagging at us. I really want to get used to it, but I still can't cope with such a scenario till now. I sense no motivation. why?

Needless to say, I didn’t have enough sleep last night. Shaine and I had conversation which lasted up to, I guess, 3:00 a.m. We’ve been living in for almost 3 months now yet it’s surprising that we still got a lot of things to talk with. So, I daresay it’s worth it to go off-duty today. Besides, I don’t wanna deal with my Boss, not now that I am lacking of sleep. I’m afraid for his life, after all.

I have nothing in my mind now but pure relaxation. Na-miss ko to. After a series of pressures at work, urgent family matters I need to attend to, impending plans – I’m tired of working them out. It’s not bad perhaps to set them aside even just today.

At this very hour, sound trip (senti mode) ako while Shaine is dealing with her laundry. I can’t help but feel grateful that I have her and that makes me too damn lucky. She possesses the qualities of the girl that I want to live with forever. She cares of me the way my Mom does. Fine, thoughtful, understanding; best of all, she knows everything with regard to household chores. At her young age, she’s ripe for the role of a wife.

Detour: E-Heads Ahead

07 MARCH 2009, 11:55 P.M., Saturday

I wonder what song is being played by Eraserheads at this very hour... Kaliwete? Magazine? Minsan? Ang Huling El Bimbo? waaaaaa bad3p naman, I wasn't able to catch the Final Set... Sayang talga... Wala kc kong sponsor ng tiket... Worse, ang mga kasama ko ay wala ring tiket... Worst, wala akong PERA... tskk pulube kaming lahat??? O sobrang kuripot lang cla at ayaw akong ilibre??? --"Mahal ng tiket baka maulit yung dati sayang lang..." "Mapapanood din naman natin sa tv yan, let's be practical, bakit pa tayo bibili ng ganun kamahal na tiket..."

The cheapest ticket is worth P400.00, that is probably 400 meters away from the stage... They assured though that the miniatures of Ely, Raymund, Marcus and Buddy will still be seen from that spot... I can afford only one ticket... The problem is I can't go alone by myself... and that settles it...

As of yesterday, my decision has become final (and executory)...

"I'm not going to the gig..."

So, from Tindahan ni Aleng Nena, I instead went Overdrive and have some Trip to Jerusalem until I reached the Alapaap...

Seamless Na!!!

I'm one of those who mourn to master rapper's demise not only because I sympathize my love Maxene for her grief, neither am I a rapper myself nor I support rap music, but also because Kiko's death is heck a cruel one...

To die from such a ruthless illness is like jumping from a plane unequipped with parachute... walang kalaban-laban... But unlike the latter, a person diagnosed with malignant disease is bound to suffer the complications months or even years before the angel of death comes in... It's kind of unfair... because that person will eventually die... It's only that fate wants to prolong his agony... But nonetheless, who am I to question God's will??

My point is, I am not ready to die the same way Kiko did...

I'm not an advocate of the so-called euthanasia... this is completely a different thing... Nobody can assume that one is going to die because his illness has no cure blah blah... I still believe in miracle, if not, coincidence... So much so that no one has the authority to take away life... Just don't put into oblivion the fact that HE is the Omega...

Miracle may not be apparent in Kiko's case but I'm pretty sure that a message from above is incorporated in his death... I sensed it... I knew it... Unless you don't hear Kiko shouting....

K.I.L.I.G.

I'm just being selfish...
I'm here on my own free will...
I used to always cry and give up...
I nearly went the wrong way...
But you...
you showed me the right way...
I was always chasing you...
wanting to overtake you...
I just wanted to walk with you...
I wanted to be with you...
You changed me... your smile saved me...
So, I'm not afraid to die protecting you...
because I-- LOVE YOU!!!

These are Hinata's last words (hope not) for Naruto when she opted to interfere in that fiery battle between Naruto and Pain (Source: The newly released episode of Naruto Manga series Re: Confession! Episode 437)

So sweet, isn't it??... As I read those lines, I felt as if thousands of butterflies had gone off inside my stomach... the very same odd feeling I felt when I had a crush for the first time... the simultaneous pounding of my heart and the quivering of my hands, the drying of my lips, and my defiance to the law of gravity... aaahh I wonder how soon will my Hinata come and utter those words at me (asa)... XD

This episode is much-awaited particularly for those Naruto-Hinata fans (count me in) xD.. and I can't blame Naruto for releasing the six tails out from the Kyuubi... Now I'm starting to get curious... which is stronger: Naruto in 6-tail form or Naruto in sage mode? And what the hell does Nagato/Pain mean by this paradox of PEACE and PAIN back-to-back... He keeps my nose bleeding constantly... indeed...

OMG-WTFH... Ayokong palagpasin ang araw na to nang hindi ko naitatala sa kasaysayan ng blog ko ang isang napakahalagang pangyayari sa araw na to... The minimum fare of P7.50 has been reduced to P7.00... at ang masasabi ko lang yahooooooooooooooooooo. com.ph.

Galit ako sa bente-singko (25 cents).

Kung bakit naman kasi hindi pa piso (P1.00) ang ginawang basic unit of Philippine currency. Tutal sakto naman si Rizal na ating pambansang bayani ang naka engrave dun. Piso ang isang pirasong kendi ngayon. Piso ang isang stick ng sigarilyo ngayon. Piso ang isang fishball ngayon. Piso ang hinuhulog sa video karera ngayon. Piso ang isang band-aid ngayon. Kung iisipin, ang role lang ng bente-singko sa buhay ng tao maliban sa kara y krus e partneran pa ito ng isa pang bente-singko para makapagbayad ng sakto sa jeep. Dahil pag nagbayad ka ng P8.00 wag ka ng umasang susuklian ka pa ng driver ng singkwenta. Maliban dun, wala ng silbi para sakin ang kulay tanso na coin na yun.

Kung hindi lng P7.50 ang minimum fare sa jeep, hindi ako magiipon ng tig-bbente singko sa coin purse ko. At xmpre dapat may kapartner ito para maging singkwenta. Pag wala ako nun kahit may tigpipiso ako sa coin purse, yung buo binabayad ko para masuklian ako ng sakto. Oh di ba anlake ng problema ko? Dinidibdib ko talaga yun… mas gugustuhin ko pa maging P8.00 na lang ang minimum fare wag lang may butones. Butal sucks….

F A Q

Q: Kung ang mukha mo ay ilalagay sa isang side ng bente-singko centavos, mababago ba ang pananaw mo tungkol dito?

A: Hindi. Aaamin ko mukha akong pera. Pero hindi ako mukhang barya.

Q: Naniniwala ka ba sa kasabihan na “hindi ka makakabuo ng piso kung wala kang bente-singko”?

A: Hindi. Dahil hindi ko ugali magbuo ng piso sa pamamagitan ng pagiipon ng apat na bente-singko.

Q: Anong balak mong gawin sa mga bente-singko na meron ka ngayong wala ng butal na singkwenta sa pamasahe ngayon?

A: Ihulog ang mga ito sa mga Bantay Bata coinbanks na makikita sa counter area ng Jollibee o kaya sa mga Red Cross coinbanks na makikita namn sa bilihan ng tiket sa MRT.

P.S. (Paepal Saglit) [[off-topic]]

Habang sinusulat ko tong post saktong nakikinig ako sa radio ng phone ko... 97.1 Barangay LS FM ang station at “Wanted Sweetheart “ ang programa . Wala lang natawa lang ako sa portion na to—
