My New Phone

2005-12-05T13:00:00.000+08:00

I lost my cellphone last week to a hoodlum. It was total devastation. Now I have a new one and I definitely love it. I'm gonna post its pic tomorrow so you can see.

Ate Maureen's Birthday

2005-10-26T08:56:00.000+08:00

Happy birthday to my very dear sister. I love you very much!!!

My Friend Bong

2005-10-20T13:01:00.000+08:00

Three weeks ago, I felt bad after hearing something bad from Bong, actually he told me that to my face. I was really hurt, I decided to not talk to him, not even go out of the house to see him. But last night, things got to a fateful twist of events when we talked to each other about our sentiments.

It seemed to most of them that I've changed and Bong asked me why. I realized it was time he knew so I told him what made me change. He saw it was his fault so he apologized. I forgave him but I guess some things can't really change anymore. Something has been done and that will forever stay with me.

Wasalak Time Once Again

2005-10-10T09:20:00.000+08:00

I'm back to my not-so-old ways again. Last night, I went out with my Wasalak friends and had some beer to drink. Actually it was not some but a little over some, okay honestly, it was enough to make me puke. Gersom and Feng had to walk me home because I found it hard to walk by myself.

I didn't want to do that again but I found it hard to resist Dexter's invitation. It's been along time I hadn't had a beer session with him, and Jessie. James Rick, Brian, and Jaysel came in late and they joined us. I didn't finish the session because I was really dizzy already so I went home and dozed off. Thank God I don't have a hangover.

October

2005-10-01T08:07:00.000+08:00

Caliraya Trip

2005-09-26T09:11:00.000+08:00

I, along with my Wasalak friends had scheduled a trip to Caliraya last week for yesterday. I woke up yesterday morning with a terrible hangover; I checked my phone for messages and found none. So I thought that trip wouldn't push through. So what I did was go to our tambayan to see if they were there but they weren't. My budz Arvee arrived and told me that they guys had been waiting for me and when I wasn't able to come early, they thought I wouldn't come. I texted them to ask them if we're gonna go and they said yes. The scheduled departure time of 9:00 am became 11:00 am.

The trip was smooth though it was quite hot. Anyways, it didn't really matter and we all had a great time, at least that's what it seemed to me. We didn't have much to do except take pictures. I hope we can do it again some other time. Maybe a trip to Tagaytay-and I guess I would need to get a driver.

Nice night

2005-09-19T09:40:00.000+08:00

It was a great time I had last night with my Wasalak friends. I got home at 1 am and really had to take a nap first before going home. It was raining and I had no umbrella with me so I waited for it to stop. Had the chance to watch Big Brother.

Headache

2005-09-13T08:49:00.000+08:00

Woke up this morning with this terrible headache. Got home last night at 230 in the morning then woke up at 6, less then four hours of sleep. My body is aching because of what happened, don't think I can go to the gym this afternoon.

Andre

2005-09-03T08:52:00.000+08:00

We celebrated my friend AF's birthday last night at Los Baños. Dinner was at Joe @ LB. We had pasta and steak, which were all good and filling, though I must say the waiting time was just too long.

Two rounds of beer and fruit shakes followed at 30th Diner where we tried also the sheesha from one shop serving Arabian cuisine. It was good, strawberry-flavored. We went home after that. Zzzzz.....

September

2005-09-01T11:12:00.000+08:00

Jaysel

2005-08-30T10:45:00.000+08:00

Had a wonderful time last night with my Wasalak friends. Jaysel celebrated his birthday a day in advance. I think I had too much last night but what was good was that I woke up early this morning without the anticipated hangover. Thank God for that!

Jaysel, happy happy birthday. I hope you're happy with me!

Happy Birthday to my Budz

2005-08-22T08:49:00.000+08:00

Dear Budz,

I just wanna greet you a very happy birthday. I've already greeted you yesterday because yesterday was your birthday but I want to do it again. If I have to do it over and over, I'd do it just for you. Thanks for sharing with me your thoughts and thanks also for being so nice a friend to me. I thank God for you.

My Budz

2005-08-19T09:03:00.000+08:00

I saw this new feature of Blogger and I'm testing if it really works.

It works!!!

August

2005-08-01T09:13:00.000+08:00

August is the eighth month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of seven Gregorian months with the length of 31 days.

August begins (astrologically) with the sun in the sign of Leo and ends in the sign of Virgo. Astronomically speaking, the sun begins in the constellation of Cancer and ends in the constellation of Leo.

August was named in honor of Augustus Caesar. The month reputedly has 31 days because Augustus wanted as many days as Julius Caesar's July. Augustus placed the month where it is because that's when Cleopatra died. Before Augustus renamed August, it was called Sextilis in Latin, since it was the sixth month in the Roman calendar which started in March.

In the pagan wheel of the year August begins at or near Lughnasadh in the northern hemisphere and Imbolc in the southern hemisphere.

Milo

2005-07-29T10:03:00.000+08:00

I have a new pet dog, I don't know of what breed yet, and I named him Milo. You know why? Because he's brown. My other pet, the older one, is named Coke because he's black. Here is Milo's picture. You can click it to see him on his own webpage.

Friendship is...

2005-07-23T08:46:00.000+08:00

not about "it's your fault" but "i'm sorry"

not "where are you" but "i am right here"

not "how could you" but "i understand"

not "i wish you were here" but "i am thankful you're there"

Sta. Ana Fun

2005-07-22T09:20:00.000+08:00

Had fun drinking with some friends in Sta. Ana last night. They call themselves CyberKads. Really funny, I think. But hey, they're friends. They can call themselves whatever they like and they will still be my friends.

How can this be?

2005-07-19T10:00:00.000+08:00

Some friends can really be so insensitive. I wonder why sometimes this can be so true. Well, that's life, and I guess we'll just have to take it as it is.

Happy birthday to my baby!

2005-07-13T09:34:00.000+08:00

Happy birthday baby
Happy birthday baby
Happy birthday happy birthday
Happy birthday baby!!!

My New Desktop feat. My Pet Cat With No Name

2005-06-25T15:49:00.000+08:00

I made a new desktop and here is a screenshot. Actually you can click this picture to visit my deviantART site and have a larger view of my desktop screenshot.

I took a picture of my cat and just extracted his image and put on a black background. Very simple.

Bored!!!

2005-06-24T09:00:00.000+08:00

I've got nothing to do now! Maybe I'll just play some Meepit Juicebreak at Neopets. And maybe later, I'll try and make some new Flash animations to upload to my deviantART webpage.

Flash

2005-06-23T08:47:00.000+08:00

I went back to creating simple Flash animations and I really enjoy it. I've already made three these past few days and I've posted them in my devianART webpage. I hope you will visit and take a lookat my deviations.

Headache on My Birthday

2005-06-22T08:37:00.000+08:00

It was a bad birthday for me. I had a very nasty headache the whole day and it made me nauseous, really.

It's My Birthday

2005-06-20T08:27:00.000+08:00

Today's my birthday. I awoke at 5:30 this morning to the noise my Dad made while he was leaving. Seeing that I was already awake, he greeted me a happy birthday, I said thank you. Being awake already, i got out of bed and took my bath and got dressed for the day.

Back to my Dad's room, I woke Jordan up so he can take a bath and get ready for school. He didn't know yet it was my birthday, I didn't tell him. We had fried rice and corned beef for breakfast at Ate Michelle's place and when she saw me, she kissed me and greeted me and I was near crying when she did that because I remembered my Mommy. I realized it's my first birthday without her. I just controlled my tears because I didn't want Ate Michelle to see me cry. It will be a lonely birthday for me but I have to be strong for my Daddy. When he sees me cry, he will just get depressed and that will be hard for us.

Mimi greeted me too and even hugged and kissed me. She's such a very sweet little girl. After breakfast, while waiting for her Tatay, we walked hand in hand at our parking lot and just watched the motorists and people passing by. I hope today will be okay.

My Memories of Bali Desktop

2005-06-17T15:07:00.000+08:00

I've just redesigned my desktop. I like it, though it's not really artistic, just a simple one. One day, I will make a really dressed-up desktop. Maybe I can even upload it to Wincustomize and have it approved.

Here is a screenshot of what my desktop looks like at the moment. Just click on it to see a larger picture. I forgot the site where I got the pics of the four characters in Memories of Bali. I put them on my desktop so I can always see them. I love them, eh!!!

And take a look at my calculator. Actually, it's my whole Windows system applications that I gave a new skin which looks like iMac applications. All these just so I can have something to do. I guess it works as a great boredom buster.

New BlogSkin

2005-06-16T12:39:00.000+08:00

I got bored here in the shop and I've got nothing to do, really. So I just looked for a blogskin at Blogger-Templates. I like the new skin but what I don't like about it is that I don't know how to insert my Shoutbox. Well, maybe I'll just have to put up with it for the moment. Maybe one day, when I have nothing to do, I can look for another blogskin.

My New Pet

2005-06-08T11:23:00.000+08:00

I have a new pet at Neopets. He is a Kougra and I named him Paolojung. I got his name from the character Jo In Sung plays in the Korean soap opera Memories of Bali. If you want to know more about Paolojung, just click his button. I have two older pets. I'll show them to you some other time. I hope you can get yours so our pets can play!!!

I Love You Too, Baby Ko...

2005-06-04T14:19:00.000+08:00

I was beginning to regret having worn my favorite red off-shoulder blouse and pleated skirt inside the movie house because I was shivering in the cold. But I took the huge risk because I knew perfectly how my favorite pair of clothing will impress my boyfriend. He loved it whenever I showed a little more skin but if and only if he was with me. I love how he compliments me - he never fails to make me feel as if I was the most beautiful woman on earth.

The movie hasn't begun, and the cold was already enveloping us. We found good premiere seats. His hand was holding mine. The feeling of having him all to myself in the dark tickled me. It didn't occur to me that he was smelling the side of my neck as he murmured, Bango naman ng Baby ko…I love you! Another smile curled my lips. Wala bang I love you too? He teased. So I answered back, I love you too, Baby. After a few subtle kisses on the cheek, his cellphone beeped. He quickly checked who it was and buried his eyes on the message. I saw him reply to the text as if he was being chased after. Uy, bili ako ng food gusto mo? Kelangan ko narin kasing mag-load, may kelangan akong reply-an. Limang piso nalang yata laman nito! He whispered La akong bulsa, By. Hawakan mo muna 'tong cell, baka mawala ko lang. You know how careless I am. I nodded and kept the phone safely in my hands. He slightly pinched my cheek, said I love you again under his breath, and took off.

The movie still hasn't started. I closed my eyes and gave a hearty yawn. I almost fell asleep when I felt his phone vibrate violently. The name Michelle was blinking. Who's Michelle? I thought to myself. Even before I could press accept, the phone stopped vibrating and displayed 1 missed call. The message icon was also blinking - meaning Michael's inbox was full. I had to delete old messages to pave way for incoming texts. So I did. Five messages came in immediately, all of which were from "Michelle." Without hesitation, I opened them one by one. Ha?! Anong wg muna ako text? Kelangan natin mgusap ngyn na! Nsan kb kc? Can I text you na? Text moko if coast is clear. R u still with her? I felt my heart do a somersault in complete confusion. What did the messages mean? Who was that HER Michael was still with? I felt cold sweat forming around my forehead and nose. I took a deep breath. So I pretended to be Michael and replied casually to the text messages. She replied in a matter of seconds. O, baket ka ba text ng text? May problema ba? Musta?Hi Mike!!! Ano ng balita sayo? Baket ngayon ka lang nagreply? Kanina pako nagpaparamdam! Kasama mo pa ba si Shayne? I thought I was just stabbed right in the chest when I saw my name in Michelle's text message, but I continued replying with Michael's phone. Oo, bumili lang ako ng food. Iniwan ko si Shayne sa loob ng sinehan. Baket ba kasi? Di mo pa kasi iwan yang babaeng yan eh hihihi! Love, tuloy ba tayo bukas? Ah? Ewan ko, ikaw ang bahala. San ba tayo bukas? Diba sabi mo pupunta tayo ng Laguna? Ako nagsabi nun? Ah oo nga pala, I promised you that. Eh ano bang plano mo? Ano? Ikaw nga ang nagplano eh! Baket parang binabalik mo sakin ang tanong? Nakalimutan mo na ba? 4 months na tayo bukas! Dapat astig ang out-of-town natin! Swimming tayo siguro tapos dinner… Alam mo na siguro ang ibig kong sabihin, love!

I lay motionless. The movie began. I felt my head spin violently - my vision was now blurred because of the big teardrops gathering in my eyes. But I blinked them away and replied as fast as I could. I knew Michael was on his way back to the cinema any minute now. Oo sige na basta sabihin mo yun ang gagawin natin! Ang bilis ng panahon noh 4 months na tayo. Parang kelan lang… O sige pano ba ang plano bukas? Sabihin mo sakin ang nasa isip mo HONEY Hmmm…. Basta bring your car nalang! Tawagan moko sa bahay tonight so we can talk ha? Love you lots! Mwah mwah! (smiley face) I tried to reply I love you too, but the phone displayed Check Operator Services.

The whole world must've stopped before my very eyes. There was nothing more I could feel except for the tears rolling down my cheeks and the freeze that was now killing me inch by inch. I stared at the big screen while my thoughts drifted away… I couldn't find the right words to describe how I felt that moment. Images of another girl and my Baby deeply in love with each other flashed in my head. And all this time, I was sharing Michael with someone else… That all this time, there was another woman whom he had his right arm around… The tears were all coming out now. I know people around me were already staring, but I was no longer thinking rational. Emptiness devoured me that instant… From a distance I noticed a familiar face walking up the stairs towards my seat. I cleared my throat, cleaned my face, and took several deep breaths. Michael was on his way to our seats at the center bunk. I love you, Baby! Michael kissed me on the nose. Sensha na! Tagal ko noh! Dami kasi nakapila dun sa binilhan ko Sensha na, sensha na… He put down the plastic bags and held my hand tight. He kissed me softly on the lips and whispered passionately, I love you Shayne! I love you Baby ko… I didn't have the strength to answer back. He went on. Oo nga pala, simula bukas, may fieldwork kami. Baka next week na ang balik ko. Hindi ko pa sure kung saan yung site, so baka walang signal dun. But I'll try texting you whenever I can, ok? I love you, Baby ko! I wanted to shout at him, scream at the top of my lungs, but no sound came out. I couldn't make myself say anything. I turned mute… my body was as numb as ever. O? Wala na naman bang I love you too dyan? Dapat lagi kang nag-I-I love you too! He laughed. I felt something vibrating on my lap again. It was Michael's phone - another text message. Michael saw it blinking and immediately read the message at a distance. But I was able to read what it said: Kelan ka pa natuto mgtext in small letters? (smiley face) tsaka baket honey na ang twag mo sakin? Hindi na ba love? Bago na ba? (smiley face) There was a long, long awkward pause. I thought the world has just stopped revolving. My lips were sealed and the tears were already flowing freely - I could no longer control them. Michael looked straight at me, with his jaw half open. His eyes were round and bigger than usual, full of questions and fear. We just stared at each other, not knowing what to say. I felt the whole world sink and disappear, leaving only the two of us alone in the dark. After a few seconds of silence that felt like forever, I swallowed the big lump in my throat with all my strength and bitterly whispered… I love you too, Baby ko…

My birthday!

Pinoy Action Movies

2005-05-25T08:57:00.000+08:00

Ano ba ang Pinoy Action Movie??

Laging umiikot ang istorya sa paghihiganti dahil ni-rape ang kapatid ng bida o pinatay ang kamag-anak nya (nanay, tatay, ate, kuya, kinakapatid, kabiyak, anak, pinsan, tiyo, tiya, lolo, lola, ninong, ninang, apo, apo sa tuhod, apo sa talampakan, ninuno, etc.)

Isa sa mga eksena e babastusin sya o syota nya ng mga nag-iinumang istambay.
Magkakagulo sa isang okasyon (kaarawan, kasal, binyag, burol)

Hindi nakakaramdam ng sakit ang bida sa bakbakan, pero sisigaw ito at aaray pag ginagamot na ang mga sugat nya ng isang babae.

Smoker at mabisyo lagi ang kontrabida. Lagi itong may mga uto-utong tauhan o "mga bata". At laging naka-jacket kahit tanghaling tapat.

Ang kuta ng mga kalaban e sa warehouse o malaking bahay.

Lagi ding may eksena sa isang beer house.

May seksing leading lady at may love scene na pwedeng ikwento sa Abante.

Marunong sa bakbakan ang babae, at kung isang lalake lang naman e kayang-kaya nitong patumbahin.

Kung ma-co-corner ang bida, hindi ito papatayin, ikukulong lang.

Mag-uusap ang bida at ang mortal na kalaban nito habang nagtutukan ng baril...mahabang pag-uusap, tila baga mag-syotang nasa telepono.

May malalakas na pagpapasabog kahit na hindi naman kailangan.

Walang malalakas na pagpapasabog kapag kailangan.

Kahit ano sumasabog pag binaril. Pati puno, sumasabog.

Mura lang ang baril at pwede itong itapon kung wala nang bala.

Makakapulot ang bida ng baril na may bala tuwing kinakailangan.

Marunong at asintado sa baril ang leading lady kahit na hindi pa siya nakakahawak nito sa buong buhay nya.

Kaya ng bida ang dalawampung tao sa bakbakan dahil hindi naman sila sumusugod ng sabay-sabay, laging isa-isa, parang sayaw.

Hindi tinatamaan ng bala ang bida kahit na tatlompung tao ang bumabaril sa kanya, pero lahat sila tinatamaan nya. Laging sa lupa tumatama ang bala ng kaaway. Tamaan man sya ng bala ay laging daplis lang...hindi pwedeng sa ulo o sa puso.

Siyam (9) ang buhay ng bida. Doble pa nito ang buhay ng leading lady.

Kung mamamatay man ang isa sa kanila e makakapagsalita pa ito ng isang page ng script bago malagutan ng hininga.

Huli darating ang maraming pulis ... at wala silang pakialam sa bida, kahit na involved ito sa riot!

30th Day

2005-05-20T09:28:00.000+08:00

It was Mommy's 3oth day yesterday. We had palabok, lumpiang sariwa, lumpiang shanghai, afritada, and puto pao. I just realized now, these were her favorites.

Thank God!!!

I'm very happy that my DSL is back. Our phone didn't have a dial tone for the past four days and it made me sad that I wasn't able to connect to the Internet during those days. Now, I'm back to "taking care" of my blogs and of course, Friendster!!!

Happy Mothers' Day, Mommy!!!

2005-05-09T16:01:00.000+08:00

Dear Mommy,

I went to the church yesterday with Daddy and Jordan. Then after mass we had breakfast at the house of one of the members of the Holy Name. I greeted you Happy Mothers' Day yesterday after the mass. I love you!!!

Love,
JunJun

Horse!!!

2005-05-09T10:07:00.000+08:00

I was born 1978 and it was a year of the Horse. I love horses (but not as much as I love cats.)

I went to Marinduque last week and I had a few beers with Daddy and the Scouters who were with us. For pulutan, we had alimasag, tulingan, nuts, and shrimp. There was also ginataan with sili leaves. They said it was ginataang kabayo and they asked me to take a bite. I was hesitant to do it but the adventurous person in me made me do it. And also it was bad to say no to the host. It really took a while for me to taste it but it tasted like beef. There was a pungent after-taste, I'm not sure if it's from the sili leaves or from the horse meat itself. But I must say it was good.

I was born on a year of the Horse,and I ate horse. Take that!!!

What Am I If I'm A Care Bear?

2005-05-07T17:23:00.000+08:00

	Tenderheart Bear You are thinker, organizer, peacekeeper, and leader all in one. You have a power to command attention and people listen to you. However, you are often so concerned about not hurting others' feelings that you don't tell them what they need to hear and this gets you both into trouble. But you always have loyal friends to help you out.

Summer Trip

2005-05-07T11:01:00.000+08:00

We got back from Marinduque yesterday afternoon after a three-hour boat ride from the Gasan port. It was a very nice summer outing at the resort we stayed in. Given the chance to go there again, I'd take it. The beach was clean and the water was very clear. Jellyfish and starfish were present along with schools of small fish.

The people there were nice especially at the resort. The owner was very accomodating and his crew were very hospitable. Special mention to Jerry who I think is a special person. I feel something towards him and I wish I can go back to see him again.

Last Night

2005-05-03T09:40:00.000+08:00

Last night went on just fine. We just watched the soaps and the slept. It was quiet.

Tonight

2005-05-02T12:54:00.000+08:00

Tonight will be our (Daddy, Jordan, and me) first night to sleep alone in the bedroom. Since my Mom passed away, my sister and her kids, and Tita Nonie and Dorie, joined us in our house and slept in our bedroom. This Tita Nonie said they did to relieve us of our sorrow. They'll be going home today. I hope tonight will not be so lonely for us three. Daddy cried this morning and I hope he won't tonight.

Dear God, please stay with us while we sleep tonight.

May

2005-05-02T12:52:00.000+08:00

May is the fifth month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of seven Gregorian months with the length of 31 days.

May begins (astrologically) with the sun in the sign of Taurus and ends in the sign of Gemini. Astronomically speaking, the sun begins in the constellation of Aries and ends in the constellation of Taurus.

The month may have been named for the Greek goddess Maia, who was identified with the Roman goddess of fertility, Bona Dea, whose festival was held in May.

8th Day

2005-04-28T10:15:00.000+08:00

Today is Mommy's 8th day in Heaven. We went to St. Francis this morning to attend the mass which was officiated by Fr. Mike. It's a great feeling I had after the mass and Fr. Mike blessed me. We then went to Mommy's tomb to offer her prayers and burn candles. Breakfast then followed at Chowking. We would have ordered Wanton Noodles for Mommy had she been with us. It was just like when Daddy and I bought some groceries last Tuesday - Daddy got some Royal Orange for Mommy. I guess it's just hard for us to let go of some things. We miss you, Mommy.

Life Goes On

2005-04-25T10:52:00.000+08:00

Today is the start of a very different day for me. I can say things are back to normal once again, but I know, some things will never be the same.

I lost my Mom last week and now she's with our Father in Heaven. At last, she can have her eternal rest and feel no more pain. She's had enough and it's time for her be peaceful.

I will miss you, Mommy. I love you!!! See you there...

Cat and Dog

2005-04-16T11:40:00.000+08:00

It was nice to watch a full-grown cat and a cute little puppy playing together. Too bad I didn't have my camera with me last night to document it. Anyways, they were really cute. I'll be bringing home my camera tonight so I can catch them on film doing their funny antics.

They're really friends now. They share food from the same plate and frolic at my feet everytime I take my rest. I just love the peaceful feeling I get everytime we do this. I hope it will always be like this.

Workout

2005-04-15T16:44:00.000+08:00

Just got back from the gym. I guess I overworked my arms, they're aching now. Tomorrow will be my rest day, so will be Sunday. Got the whole day tomorrow to be in front of the computer and surf the net. I'll try to finish my first Guideposts article - it's a long one.

Look at Mimi, she's going crazy!!!

Late Night Meeting

2005-04-08T08:48:00.000+08:00

The meeting was supposed to start at 7 pm, but there were only three of us who came on time, San Simon, Santo Tomas, and me, San Mateo. Santiago Alfeo came in late because he came all the way from Calamba where he is currently employed. The meeting actually started around 8 pm but dinner came first. It was wine after that, and while we were drinking, the meeting proper started and it was about us Apostles being active in church activities. We are all willing to help, sincerely.

The conversation went to different topics and it was a great conversation we had. It even took us till 2:30 am to finish the meeting because we were all interested and we all shared our points-of-view. I hope we can have more nights like this.

Meeting at the Church

2005-04-07T09:37:00.000+08:00

Mike texted me and said we're gonna have a meeting at the church this afternoon. I became quite excited because we will all see each other again. I wonder what this meeting is for...

A Nice Night Swimming

2005-04-04T09:26:00.000+08:00

Night swimming with church people? I thought at first I'm not gonna have any bit of fun, but it was really great. We were supposed to be 12, the Apostles, but two weren't able to come. One was Saint Peter, the oldest, who is old enough to be my father. The other was, okay, just like the rest of us, YOUNG, but he didn't come because he was busy because he was Judas Iscariot. There was a running joke telling that he wouldn't be able to come because he is still hanging on a tree. Joking aside, he didn't go for he was busy managing traffic last Saturday, which was, HELL. I took a longer route from Sta. Ana to Calihan just so I can avoid the traffic but when I reach Maharlika Hi-way, just when I was a only few meters from Calihan, I was caught in the gnarl of vehicles and took me 45 minutes to reach my destination. This was another reason why the 7:00 pm agreed time of meeting was delayed to 10:00 pm. Add to that waiting for Saint Andrew, who in the first place set the meeting time to 7:00 pm. Well, so came the ten of us and we headed to Mejia Resort in Calamba where Father Mike, Father Danny, and other people were waiting for us.

It was a good thing there was no traffic in Calamba. When we entered the resort, they were already swimming (except the two priests, who waited for us.) Then Tita Flor bought food for us, Binalot Sa Dahon (tapsilog), Andok's Chicken, and Pork Barbecue. Cigarette break. Father Danny brought Fundador while Father Mike asked St. John to buy Gilbey's Gin (smelled like Eskinol after adding lime juice.) While drinking, we had this nice conversation about the Church which even enlightened St. James and St. Simon. After we finished the wine, we all headed to the pool to cool off and then sang at the videoke. What happened at the videoke was funny. We were all calling Father Danny to sing, "Father, Father, kayo naman! Hihingi tayo ng second collection!" Dennis, the pianist, joked that "Insenso na lang po ang kulang!" The girls near us were laughing and whispering, "Mga seminarista yan!" Imagine being mistaken for seminarians. Some of us were smoking during that time and our voices were really loud, and then being thought of as seminarians. At the kubo, we all laughed about it. We all dressed up and then took a short nap, a very short one, inside the van. It was 4:30 am, we decided it was time to head home. So off we went and it was a quiet ride, I guess all were sleeping, except the driver, who happened to be me. St. John, who was beside me, didn't sleep either.

It was a nice outing, great, in fact. I hope there will be others like this. I also hope that the Junior Holy Name Society they talked about that night will push through (I was in the shower room.) Being with them is nice, and honestly, it makes me happy. Maybe, just maybe, I found my brothers already.

April

2005-04-01T07:53:00.000+08:00

April is the fourth month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of four with the length of 30 days.

April begins (astrologically) with the sun in the sign of Aries and ends in the sign of Taurus. Astronomically speaking, the sun begins in the constellation of Pisces and ends in the constellation of Aries.

The name is derived from the Latin aprilis, either from the Latin word aperire which means "to open", probably referring to growing plants in spring, or from the Etruscan name Apru for Aphrodite.

April was originally the second month of the Roman calendar and had 29 days. Julius Caesar's calendar reform in 45 BCE resulted in April having 30 days and becoming the fourth month, as the year now began in January.

San Mateo

2005-03-30T12:02:00.000+08:00

Here I was as San Mateo during the Holy Week Celebration at the San Francisco de Assisi Parish. It was a nice experience I had and it made me a new person. I thank my Dad for enlisting me as one of the Twelve Apostles.

New Friends

2005-03-28T12:22:00.000+08:00

The Holy Week that has just passed made me a new person. It brought me back to God. Not only that, I got the chance to meet new friends. The guys who played the other apostles are now my friends and brothers. We're gonna have an overnight swimming on the 2nd of April and I'm very excited about it. I hope we will have a very great time.

I also hope that the friendship we started will go on and on and on....

Maundy Thursday

2005-03-24T09:15:00.000+08:00

Maundy Thursday (môn'dē) [Lat. mandatum, word in the ceremony], traditional English name for Thursday of Holy Week, so named because it is considered the anniversary of the institution of the Eucharist by Jesus at the Last Supper (that is, the mandatum novum or “new commandment”). In some churches, Jesus's washing of the disciples' feet is symbolically reenacted. In Great Britain there is a survival in the distribution by the sovereign of special “maundy money” to certain of the poor at Westminster Abbey. In the Roman Catholic Church, Maundy Thursday is a general communion day; a single Mass is sung, in the evening, and a Host, consecrated for the morrow, is placed in a specially adorned chapel of repose. The altars are stripped bare until the Easter vigil mass.

Later this afternoon, I will be at the church for the activities we have for Maundy Thursday, the Washing of the Feet and the Last Supper. This is the first time I'll be seeing this, and also be part of it. I'm quite excited about it.

The Creation

2005-03-22T09:29:00.000+08:00

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the
Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli,
cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red
vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live
long and healthy lives.

Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and
Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan
said, "You want chocolate with that?" And Man said,
"Yes!" and Woman said, "and as long as you're at it,
add some sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds. And
Satan smiled.

And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might
keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan
brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar
from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from
size 6 to size 14.

So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan
presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons
and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman
unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy
vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And
Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried
steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained
more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.

God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it
"Angel Food Cake," and said, "It is good." Satan then
created chocolate cake and named it "Devil's Food."

God then brought forth running shoes so that His
children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan
gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not
have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman
laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and
gained pounds.

Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in
fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off
the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into
chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained pounds.

God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume
fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And
Satan created McDonald's and its 99-cent double
cheeseburger. Then said, "You want fries with that?"
And Man replied, "Yes! And super size them!" And
Satan said, "It is good." And Man went into cardiac
arrest.

God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery. Then
Satan created HMOs.

Thought for the day ......

There is more money being spent on breast implants and
Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means
that by 2040, there should be a large elderly
population with perky boobs and huge erections and
absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

Holy Week

2005-03-21T08:29:00.000+08:00

Holy Week started yesterday, Palm Sunday. I was there in the procession because I am playing the part of one of the Twelve Apostles, St. Matthew. This will be one busy week for me as we are schedule to attend the activities beginning Holy Wednesday and will last till Easter Sunday.

I realized it's nice to be part of it. I get to know new people and I also get the chance to be near God again. I hope that this one be the start of a good experience for me.

New Book

2005-03-19T14:34:00.000+08:00

I got a new book from my Mama Linda! I love it! It is called God's Little Devotional for Graduates. It is full of inspirational stories just like the other devotional I have, God's Little Devotional for Leaders.

I also got different stuff from her and Tita Baby. I love them both!

Trip To Ilocos

2005-03-12T14:56:00.000+08:00

My Dad and I went to Ilocos last Thurday for the Visita Iglesia of the San Francisco Parish. We left San Pablo at nine o'clock that night and had to endure twelve long hours of bus ride. Good thing we brought our jackets along because we weren't supposed to touch the controls of the aircon because all the cool air will go to the driver if we do that. Nice eh? We had a restroom stop at Rick's Cafe in Pangasinan and I was really tired to even get up and out of the bus.

There was a contest among all the passengers wherein each of us had to guess what time we will be arriving at the boundary of Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte. My Dad won and David, our tour guide, gave him two hundred pesos as his prize.

Before entering Vigan, we passed through a town with this long bridge over a grand river. I forgot the name but it's something like Rio Grande de Whatever. The bus stopped at a parking space and the passengers, including me, went out to have some picture-taking. It was really cold and nice, just like being in Tagaytay or in Baguio.

Most of what we saw along the way were fields of either corn, tomatoes, or of course, tobacco. We even saw grape orchards in a town in Ilocos Norte. There were baskets of tomatoes at roadsides and even trucks of them ready to be brought to factories to be made into tomato paste.

We happened to pass by a calesa on the streets of Laoag City and I just had to take its picture. I love horses because I was born on a year of the horse. But I love cats, too. Anyways, I saw more of calesas like this in Vigan.

Lunch!!! Imagine doing it an hour later than my usual lunchtime. Anyways, it didn't matter that much because I'm on a diet. The meal we had was provided by the travel agency and we had veggies, pork, and tetra-packed juice. Oh, and a banana. We did it at the park in front of the Sta. Monica Church in Sarrat and had a nice view of a desert while eating. Our guide said the desert was used in filming Panday with FPJ and now in shooting Spirits.

After the sumptuous meal, the tour guide took us to see the Sarrat Ruins, just beside the Sta. Monica Church. It was a convent built during the Spanish times that was used as a garrison during the revolt against the Spanish and World War II. There were different rooms that were used as a tribunal hall, a justice hall, a torture room, and the garrote room. This building was destroyed by an intensity 8 earthquake many years ago.

The last town we went to was Vigan. We had dinner there at a nice place called the Aniceto Mansions and we had delicious pinakbet and fish fillet that was so hard most of the people, oldies that they are, weren't able to finish their dinner. For dessert was melted chocolate ice cream. Before heading to the bus and home, we bought some local delicacies like empanada, kalamay, okoy, and my favorite Royal Bibinka.

It was a very tiring trip, I admit, but the 1500 we paid for it was well worth it. I've been to Ilocos before, about eight years back, but I was eagerly excited to go back there. Along the way, I reminisced about the good times I had there with my friends Kei, Len, and Marlon. I was glad to see once again the places I've visited there. One more thing, this with all honesty, I enjoyed the company of the people on the trip, even if they are oldies already. I hope next year, there will be another one like this.

March

2005-03-01T10:58:00.000+08:00

March is the third month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of seven Gregorian months with the length of 31 days.

March begins (astrologically, non-sidereal) with the sun in the sign of Pisces and ends in the sign of Aries. Astronomically speaking, the sun begins in the constellation of Aquarius and ends in the constellation of Pisces.

March is named for Mars, the Roman god of war.
In ancient Rome, March was called Martius. It was named after the war god (Mars) and was considered a lucky time to begin a war. In ancient Hellenic civilization, March was called Anthesterion. In old Japanese calendar, the month is called Yayoi (弥生).

March was originally the first month of the Roman calendar. Julius Caesar's calendar reform in 45 BCE began the year on January 1. The tradition of starting the year in March continued in some countries for a long time. January 1 was only instituted as New Year's Day in France in 1564. Great Britain and her colonies continued to use March 25 until 1752, the same year they finally adopted to Gregorian calendar.

Historical names for March include the Saxon term Lenctmonat, named for the equinox and eventual lengthening of days and the eventual namesake of Lent. The Saxons also called March Rhed-monat (for their goddess Rhedam); ancient Britons called it hyld-monath (meaning loud or stormy).

Valentine's Day

2005-02-14T14:42:00.000+08:00

This is the legend of how St. Valentine's Day began.

When the Roman Emperor Claudius II needed soldiers, he made a law against marrying because he felt that marriage made men want to stay home instead of fighting wars.

Now, a kindly priest named Valentine, seeing the love of young couples, married some secretly. But he was discovered and condemned to death.

Even in prison, Valentine showed his love for everyone. His jailer had a young daughter who was blind. And by a miracle, Valentine restored her sight. Just before his death, on February 14, he sent her a farewell message signed "From your Valentine".

Now, February 14 fell in the midst of a roman festival called the Lupercalia. When Christianity became the religion of Rome, this joyous day was changed to St. Valentine's Day, in honor of the saint who gave his life to help lovers.

Valentine

2005-02-12T08:31:00.000+08:00

Valentine's Day is a day of love

Where love is as bright as the sun

We share kisses, and even a hug

With people we call our loved ones

Unrequited love is oh! so harsh

When the one you love doesn't love you

You feel you're left standing in the dark

Wishing this reality were untrue

Well that's why Valentine's Day is so great

It encourages you to show you care

It makes you just wanna say

I love you and will always be there

I once loved someone in this way

And I was encouraged on Valentine's

I went up to him, just to say

I would like you to be mine

Tiring weekend

2005-02-07T09:42:00.000+08:00

It was quite a tiring weekend I had. A birthday party last Saturday with a lot of kids, whattaday!!! Anyways, I did have fun thanks to the spaghetti and the drinks. Sunday was really a rest day for me but I had to go to the city to take Jordan to his barber and buy him a new pair of shoes. It was hot yesterday, mind you.

I had a nice start today. I have the good night sleep I had last night to thank. Now, I'm in front of my computer managing my blogs (I have several blogs) and ironing out my website. I still have my email to check but that could wait.

I have to go the the gym later this afternoon. The birthday party really did this thing to my tummy. If only there's an easier and quicker way to do it, then I would. But no liposuction for me! At least I enjoy going to the gym, that would do. Now back to my blogs....

Birthday Party

2005-02-05T08:51:00.000+08:00

Today is Mimi's birthday. And later this afternoon, we're gonna have a children's party and I'm sure all the kids are gonna have lots of fun. She's three now.

Migs'z birthday was last Thursday, 3rd of February, but his party will also be today. It's his 1st birthday. How happy he will be later, I'm sure.

Good News

February

2005-02-02T08:55:00.000+08:00

February is the second month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar, with 28 days in regular years. In leap years February has 29 days. Three times in history a February 30 did occur.
February was named for the Roman god Februus, the god of purification. January and February were the last two months to be added to the calendar, since the Romans originally considered winter a monthless period. This change was made by Numa Pompilius about 700 BCE in order to bring the calendar in line with a standard lunar year. Numa's Februarius contained 29 days (30 in a leap year). Augustus is alledged to have removed one day from February and added it to August, (renamed from Sextilis to honor himself), so that Julius Caesar's July would not contain more days. However there is little historical evidence to support this claim.
February was nominally the last month of the Roman calendar, as the year originally began in March. At certain intervals Roman priests inserted an intercalary month, Mercedonius, after February to realign the year with the seasons.
Historical names for February include the Anglo-Saxon terms Solmoneth (sun month) and Kale-monath (named for cabbage) as well as Charlemagne's designation Hornung.

Tomfooleries

2005-01-27T09:26:00.000+08:00

Most jokes, riddles, and puns have been around for a long time; we usually do not discover new ones; we simply revive the old ones. But some people are better at reviving than others. One of the best is Alvin Schwartz, who wrote Tomfoolery. Here are some tomfooleries:

Take any number.
Add ten.
Subtract three.
Now close your eyes.
Dark, isn't it?
---
I knew a fellow who had snew in his blood.
What's snew?
Not much with me. What's new with you?
---
I bet I can jump across the street.
I bet you can't.
(Walk across the street and jump.)
---
Ask me if I'm a boat.
Are you a boat?
Yes. Now ask me if I'm an airplane.
Are you an airplane?
No, I just told you I'm a boat.

Unlucky Friday

2005-01-24T10:23:00.000+08:00

To cure British sailors of their silly, superstitious fead of Fridays, the British government laid the keel of a new ship on a Friday, launched her on a Friday, named her H.M.S. Friday, and sent her on her first voyage on a Friday. Neither the ship nor her crew was ever seen again.

The blood vessels in a blue whale are so large that a fully grown trout could swim comfortably through the major arteries and veins.

The common garden snail, whose Latin name is Helix aspersa, is both a male and a female.

Ten Animals

2005-01-22T10:01:00.000+08:00

The cat is the only domestic animal not mentioned in the Bible. Clearly, the cat never entered heaven. Indeed, tradition says only ten animals did. They are listed here:

Ten animals, and ten alone
Were raised to Paradise-
The Gate is closed to Cuttlefish,
The Gate is closed to Flies;

The Crabs and Worms must stay outside,
The Geese and Chimpanzees-
But Kratim's there (the Dog who speaks).
He prays along with these:

The Calf of Abraham; the Ant
Of Solomon, in prayer
With Sheba's Cuckoo; Moses' Ox;
Muhammad's milk-white Mare.

There Ram of Isaac, Jonah's Whale
And Saleh's Camel raise
Their voices to their risen Lord
With Balaam's Ass... who brays.
- W.R.E.

Down Goes Ezra

Walked a plank.

Superstitions

2005-01-13T09:05:00.000+08:00

I know you aren't superstitious. You don't stay in bed on Friday the Thirteenth. You walk under a ladder without thinking twice about it. (Perhaps you should think twice though; a bucket of paint may fall on your head.)

But not everybody else is as clever as you. Why, there may be children in your own class who believe superstitions like these:

That part of your soul is caught in a picture of you. Primitive people sometimes refuse to have their photograph taken, for fear that it can be used to bewitch them.

That a pinch of salt thrown over the left shoulder will protect you from bad luck. It is supposed to keep the devil at a distance. And if salt is spilled, there will be a quarrel.

That bubbles in coffee mean money, while bubbles in a teacup mean visitors are coming. (A sudden itch, or silverware falling to the floor, also is a sign of visitors.)

That if your ears burn, someone is talking about you.

That if you step on a crack, you will fail at something you are trying to do.

That it is bad luck to break a mirror, postpone a wedding, or open an umbrella indoors. (Or for that matter, to turn back from a journey, stub a toe, wear clothes inside out, meet a funeral procession, sit on a table, or leave a house through a window.)

That it is good luck to possess a rabbit's foot or horseshoe, find a four-leaf clover, meet a black cat or pick up a pin.

That fairies, elves, and sprites help human beings, while gnomes and goblins are full of mischief, causing milk to sour and even stealing babies and leaving changelings in their place.

Of course, you don't believe such nonsense. Just to make sure that nothing bad happens, though, it might be a good idea to touch wood.

Epitaphs

2005-01-12T11:34:00.000+08:00

An epitaph is an inscription on a tombstone. Those below were carved many years ago. A tombstone seems an odd place for a joke.

ON ANN MAN
Here lies Ann Mann;
She lived an old maid
But died an old Mann.

ON OWEN MOORE
Owen Moore:
Gone away
Owin' More
Than he could pay.

ON MARY WEARY, HOUSEWIFE
Dere friends I am going
Where washing ain't done
Or cooking or sewing;
Don't mourn for me now
Or weep for me never:
For I go to do nothing
Forever and ever.

How Many Apples?

2005-01-07T09:39:00.000+08:00

In magic tricks, the magician makes you think he is doing one thing, say stuffing a handkerchief into his thumb, when he is really doing something else. Riddles are a kind of word magic: The question is put so as to fool you, instead of helping you get the answer. The first three questions below are old-fashioned riddles, but the last two are different. After all, how can you know how many bones you have in your body unless someone tells you?

1. A farmer in Kent has a beautiful plum tree. The main trunk has 24 branches, each branch has 12 boughs, each bough has 6 twigs and each twig bears 1 fruit. How many apples are on the tree?

2. How do you pronounce VOLIX?

3. A rope ladder 12 feet long is hanging over the side of a ship. The rungs of the ladder are one foot apart, and the lowest rung is resting on the top of the ocean. The tide rises six inches an hour. How long will it take for the first four rungs of the ladder to be underwater?

4. A very fat woman and two very thin women have to cross a stream in a boat that can carry only 90 kilos. The fat woman weighs 90 kilos and the two very thin women weigh 45 kilos each. How can they cross?

5. When Alexander says to Elliot, "I'll break every bone in your body," how many bones is he talking about? 100? 200? 500? 1,000?

Accidental English

After car accidents, the drivers are supposed to write out everything that happened so that their insurance companies can tell who was to blame. Sometimes the drivers are still in shock, and their reports don't make much sense. Those that follow are cross-my-heart-and-hope-to-die true; they were copied from insurance forms by an honest man:

Coming home, I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have.

A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.

The man was all over the road; I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.

I had been driving my car for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident.

I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the street when I struck him.

The pedestrian had no idea which direction to go, so I ran over him.

I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows.

The telephone pole was approaching fast. I attempted to swerve out of the way, when it struck the front of my car.

January

2005-01-03T11:35:00.000+08:00

January is the first month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar, and has 31 days. It is named for Janus, the Roman god of doors and gateways.

The original Roman calendar consisted of 10 months (304 days). The Romans originally considered winter a monthless period. Circa 700 BCE Romulus' successor, King Numa Pompilius, added the months of January and February allowing the calendar to equal a standard lunar year (354 days). A Roman superstition against even numbers resulted in the addition of one day thus equalling 355 days. Although March was originally the first month, January usurped that position because that was when consuls were usually chosen.

The first day of the month is known as New Year's Day.

Historical names for January include its original Roman designation, Januarius, the Saxon term Wulf-monath (meaning wolf month) and Charlemagne's designation Wintarmanoth (winter / cold month).

If You Ever

If you ever ever ever ever ever
If you ever ever ever meet a whale
You must never never never never never
You must never never never touch its tail;
For if you ever ever ever ever ever,
If you ever ever ever touch its tail,
You will never never never never never
You will never never meet another whale.
