Birthday ni Shaira ngayon. As usual hindi nanaman kami magkasama kasi nasa Laguna ako. Paminsan minsan umuulan pero most of the time mainit na. Tamang tama lang na weather para sa medyo masakit na ulo ko ngayon.
Bukas naman ang Independence Day. Sayang nga kasi hindi pa naging June 12 ang birthday ni Shaira noong 1998 which is the centennial year ng kalayaan. Sana libre ang tuition niya. Pero, kung iisipin mas gusto ko na June 11 ang birthday niya. At least may reason to celebrate on a different day kaysa naman makisabay pa siya sa celebration ng Independence.
Ngayon din umuwi si Jophet dito sa Laguna. After a very long time na malayo siya dahil sa trabaho. Dumaan siya sa bahay kanina sabay namang tawag ni JS sa phone. So pinutol ko na lang yung usapan namin ni JS to give way sa usapan namin Jophet eh ang tagal rin naman naming di nagkita. Anyway alam kong pupuyatin ako ni JS mamaya because madaming kuwento yun. At alam kong sa gabi yun tatawag. Pauwi siya ngayon from Manila to Nueva Ecija. Dun niya yata balak na maging malaya. Hay... kumusta naman kaya ang celebration ng birthday ng pamangkin ko?
Palagi kong nalilimutan kung ano ang gusto kong shoutout sa facebook. Kaya minarapat ko nang mag join ang twitter ko at ang facebook. Lagi ko rin nalilimutan ang gusto kong twit. Kainis! Ngayon nagamit ko na ang twitter apps sa facebook. At kapag may twit ako automatic na lumalabas na sa facebook. Saya lang.
About Freedom
Maraming mga tao ang napipiling pagusapan ng in depth ang kalayaan tuwing sasapit ang araw ng kalayaan. Tama lang naman. Maraming mga tao ang handang magbuwis ng buhay para sa kalayaan. Maraming bansa ang handang makipagdigma para lamang sa kalayaan. Ganoon nga kaimportante ang freedom. Who is free? Why should we be free?
May mga klase sa kolehiyo na inaabot ng isang buong semester at pinaguusapan lang nila ay ang freedom. Each person is free. Kaya nga lang yung iba eh abuso sa freedom nila. Malaya na nga ba ang Pilipinas mula noong June 12, 1898? Eh hindi nga baga't naing colony pa tayo ng America? Maaaring malaya tayo mula s apangaalipin ng dayuhan sa sarili nating bayan pero tayo ngayon ang pumupunta sa bayan ng dayuhan para...... guess what, MAGPAALIPIN! Alipin pa rin ang Pinoy ng kahirapan at kamangmangan. Kailangan ang mg apoints na ito ang pagisipan ngayong Araw ng Kalayaan. Questionable pa rin kung mayroon nga bang araw na malaya tayo.

bread and butter; heat and market
We spent the morning in San Pablo City for check up. Happy ako na kasama ko si Mama pamamasyal sa San pablo after naming manggaling sa clinic. Siyempre naisipan naming magmiryenda. Oh the simplicity of our life, hindi namin kailangan mag mall for bonding. All we need is walk and talk. How I wish na marami ring mag-ama ang mag stroll in an affordable price. pwede namang maging masaya sa pamamasyal, paglalaro, at pagkain together na hindi magastos. Bakit ama? Kasi June is for Father's Day. Hehehe... masaya talaga kami ni Mama even in times of adversities. At dahil gusto ng anaming magmiryenda, nahanap agad ang mga mata namin ng pinakamalapit na kainan at bakery is what we found. Pero instead of going dun sa bakery na nakita namin, naalala ni mama yung Kalahi Bakery. Dun daw kami bibili sabi ni mama kaya naglakad pa kami papunta doon. Ito yung bakery malapit sa imac. Ilang beses ko nang nakita, nadaanan, at narinig ang bakery na yun pero mula noong naglagalag ako sa San Pablo, ngayon ko pa lang napasok at napagtuunan ng pansin ang bakery na iyon. Unbelievable!
Unang tumambad sa mga mata ko ang rolls na nagkakahalaga ng Php. 200. May iba't ibang palaman sa loob ang mg acake rolls parang dunkin donuts yung mga filled rolls. Sabi no mama magandang regalo sa may birthday yung mg arolls. May iba't ibang klase rin ng nakabalot na cookies at iba pang baked products. Nabibili ng tingi sa halagang Php. 3.00 ang mamon, kababayan, at banana bread.
Ang sarap tingnan, hindi lamang ang variety ng tinapay kung hindi pati na rin ang lumalaki at umuunlad na negosyo. Wala akong Midas touch pagdating sa negosyo kaya bilib ako kapag nakakakita ako ng maliliit na negosyong pinalaki; para bang kagaya sa istorya ng Calata Corporations. Si Mr. Joseph Calata ang pinakabatang CEO na kinilala sa Pilipinas bilang isa sa mga nangungunang CEO sa bansa. Bilang isang direktor, mas dramatic ang dating sa aking ng mga taho vendor, agri businessmen, o small time industry player na umasendo ang tindahan kaysa sa mga katulad ng San Miguel Corporation ni Ramon Ang o ng MPIC ni Manny Pangilinan. Para kasing given na ang kayamanan nila eh. Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit kasi nga hindi ako business major.
Noong 2004, akala ko sa Las Pinas ako magaaral. Nagtake ako sa isang public college ng exam na walang tuition fee kasi free kapag resident ka ng Las Pinas. Puro business courses ang offered doon. Pinili ko ang Marketing. Alam ko maraming Math ang marketing, lalo na sa pricing. Pero hindi maitatanggi na ito ang pinakamalapit sa Communication kaysa Economics, Banking at Accountancy. Hindi natuloy ang pagpasok ko doon. Instead of taking up Marketing, I took AB Communication. Pero noong 2006, nag summer job ako sa SM South Mall, palagi akong dumadaan sa National Bookstore para magbasa at mag-check kung sino ang cover ng mga magazine. Dahil wala akong PSP II, nasa National ako tuwing coffee break kung wala ako sa Yamaha. Noong una, nagbabasa ako ng mga novels at naniningin lang ng song hits pero palaging napapako ang mata ko sa isang section ng store kung saan naroon ang mga aklat sa business. Isang makapal at malaking libro na ang title ay "Marketing" ang parang mansanas na umaagaw sa mga mata ko habang nagbabasa ng Bubble Gang compilation. Kulay bule ang libro at glossy ang hardbound cover nito. Kulay white naman ang lettering ng title na Marketing. At nang mga sumunod na linggo, yung book na yun na ang binabasa ko. hehehe...
Ipinangako ko sa sarili ko na bibilhin ko ang book na yun after ko makuha ang backpay ko. Sa kasamaang palad hindi natupad. Yes, dahil nagastos ko sa damit, accessories at sa 3 movies [Poseidon, Da Vinci Code at Spider Man 3]. Bumili rin ako ng isang music CD sa Astroplus. Ang good news is bumili pa rin ako ng book na ang title ay "Elements of Marketing" pero local yun. Si Ruby F. Alminar Mutya ang author.

june is for wedding dates
Recently, almost four billion people around the world eyed the most talked about wedlock called "The Royal Wedding of the Century" not only for the glamor but also for mere entertainment and science of chizmax. People waited for the unveiling of the wedding dress which caught us off guard as Pipa, the sister of Kate, stole the attention of the press and the twitter users because of a healthy and firm rear behind her. I, for the sake of tuning with history, also wrote something in here about the wedding though it is centered primarily on Kate and on the expected attitude and political role she has to face later on. People are just expecting too much when it comes to royalties. Even showbiz royalties.
Now it is June. The perfect time of the year for couples to take their vows for each other. Another convenient date is November 11, 2011 which is Michelle's birthday.
And with all this fun, I began to recollect my musical thoughts about marriage. I just remembered that most of the songs we heard a while before June 2011 are mostly about getting married.
Marry Your Daughter by Brian McKnight goes like
And I liked the song so much because it is conversational. Between the groom and the father of the bride. It speaks so much of fidelity and of manly allegiance.
Another song which I did want to be a proposal theme is "Marry Me" by Train which goes ....

It can be followed by a song from Colbie Caillat which could be a reply to the speech... the title is "I Do"
...Oh see? It can be perfect line up for a marriage feast. Another song is a new hit coming from Runner Runner entitled as I Can't Wait and the lyrics....
For those getting married this June, coNGRATULATIONS!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my friend Myqeen Rodriguez who celebrates her 22nd year on earth. More wealth and more health.
I had a great day texting Gerome. How can I forget a great night last year with them.
Lastly, can I just add the lyrics from Bruno Mars' hit entitled "Marry You" ?
It’s a beautiful night,
We’re looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go,
No one will know,
Come on girl.
Who cares if we’re trashed got a pocket full of cash we can blow,
Shots of patron,
And it’s on girl.
Don’t say no, no, no, no-no;
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah;
And we’ll go, go, go, go-go.
If you’re ready, like I’m ready.
Cause it’s a beautiful night,
We’re looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
I’ll go get a ring let the choir bells sing like oooh,
So whatcha wanna do?
Let’s just run girl.
If we wake up and you wanna break up that’s cool.
No, I won’t blame you;
It was fun girl.
Don’t say no, no, no, no-no;
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah;
And we’ll go, go, go, go-go.
If you’re ready, like I’m ready.
Cause it’s a beautiful night,
We’re looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Just say I do,
Tell me right now baby,
Tell me right now baby. x2
Cause it’s a beautiful night,
We’re looking for something dumb to do.

Marry Your Daughter by Brian McKnight goes like
Sir, I'm a bit nervous
'Bout being here today
Still not real sure what I'm going to say
So bare with me please
If I take up too much of your time,
See in this box is a ring for your oldest
She's my everything and all that I know is
It would be such a relief if I knew that we were on the same side
Very soon I'm hoping that I...
Can marry your daughter
And make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'till the day that I die, yeah
I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
Can't wait to smile
When she walks down the isle
On the arm of her father
On the day that I marry your daughter
She's been hearing for steps
Since the day that we met (I'm scared to death to think of what would happen if she ever left)
So don't you ever worry about me ever treating her bad
I've got most of my vows done so far (So bring on the better or worse)
And tell death do us part
There's no doubt in my mind
It's time
I'm ready to start
I swear to you with all of my heart...
I'm gonna marry your daughter
And make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'till the day that I die, yeah
I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
I can't wait to smile
As she walks down the isle
On the arm of her father
On the day that I marry your daughter
The first time I saw her
I swear I knew that I say I do
I'm gonna marry your daughter
And make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'till the day that I die
I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
I can't wait to smile
As she walks down the isle
On the arm of her father
On the day that I marry your daughter
And I liked the song so much because it is conversational. Between the groom and the father of the bride. It speaks so much of fidelity and of manly allegiance.
Another song which I did want to be a proposal theme is "Marry Me" by Train which goes ....
Forever can never be long enough for me
To feel like I've had long enough with you
Forget the world now, we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do
Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Say you will
Together can never be close enough for me
To feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love you
And you're beautiful
Now that the wait is over
And love and has finally showed her my way
Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Say you will
Promise me you'll always be
Happy by my side
I promise to sing to you
When all the music dies
And marry me
Today and everyday
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Say you will
Marry me

It can be followed by a song from Colbie Caillat which could be a reply to the speech... the title is "I Do"
It's always been about me myself and I
If all relationships were nothing but a waste of time
I never wanted to be anybody's other half
I was happy to say that our love wouldn't last
That was the only way I knew to that you
You make we wanna say
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Yeah, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Cause every time before we spend like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I can live without it, I can let it go
Ooh, I did, I get myself into
You make we wanna say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do,
Tell me is it only me
Do you feel the same?
You know me well enough to know that I'm not playing games
I promise I won't turn around and I won't let you down
You can trust and never feel it now
Baby there's nothing, there's nothing we can't get through
So can we say
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Oh baby, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Cause every time before we spend like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I won't live without it, I won't let it go
Wooh Can I get myself into
You make we wanna say
Me a family, a house a family
Ooh, can we be a family?
And when I'm old and sit next to you.
And when we remember when we said
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Oh baby, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Cause every time before we spend like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I won't live without it, I won't let it go
Just look at what we got ourselves into
You make we wanna say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do,
Love you
...Oh see? It can be perfect line up for a marriage feast. Another song is a new hit coming from Runner Runner entitled as I Can't Wait and the lyrics....
The way you curse when we're in traffic
A million flavors of your chapstick
The way that you've got my heart captive
The Journey concert in AZ
Remember we sang faithfully?
I still got that old hotel room key
This is the way I feel
'Cause I can't wait for you to be my wife
To live this life together
And I won't let you go
I need you to know
That you are my heart, forever
And on and on and on
The way you like to sing my songs
You always know when something's wrong
The way you say you miss me when I'm gone
The things you do to show you care
you're always down for truth or dare
Freeze this moment; let me stop and stare
Nothing before was real
And this is the way I feel
'Cause I can't wait for you to be my wife
To live this life together
And I won't let you go
I need you to know
That you are my heart, forever
And on and on and on
And we'll go on and on and on
For better or for worse
No matter how it hurts
you've got me to hold you hand
I promise you the world
In your wedding dress
We'll dance till no one's left
don't wanna blink my eyes
don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause I can't wait for you to be my wife
To live this life together
And I won't let you go
I need you to know
That you are my heart, forever
And I can't wait for you to be my wife
To live this life together
And I won't let you go
I need you to know
That you are my heart, forever
And on and on and on
And we'll go on and on and on

up to new heights and music just fun
As for today... thankful ako na nabuksan ko ang account ko. Akala ko na hack na ang blog ko. For the entire week nagka trouble ako opening my account at sa twitter ko makikit anag pagkainis sa mga statements ko. Plano ko pa naman na magsulat about three important things that took place last week.
Una noong Wednesday. Kasi natapos na ang Season 2 ng Glee. It was a nice episode. Siguro gustong gusto ng mga Pilipino kasi kumanta si Charice ng isnag original song which I believe is ow available in iTunes or other downloading sites. Si Kevin McHale ang pinakapaborito kong singer sa kuwento ng Glee. Hindi ko napansin na maganda ang ending para sa kanya. Almost everybody had their conflicts resolved. Siya lang ang hindi. Anyway, maganda pa rin ang boses niya kahit ganun.
Second na nakakatuwa is yung season ender din ng American Idol Season 10 kung saan ang nanalo ay si Scotty McCreery. Heto ang article published ko for that Thursday;
In the course of the entire American Idol Season 10, I was able to watch it uninterruptedly. And thanks to heaven! Just an hour ago, Scotty McCreery was crowned as the new American Idol. He was able to beat Lauren Alaina who lost because of voting process. Scotty is a crowed darling and there's no doubt about that. Although we cannot trust America's choice as thesole criterion of judgement. Sometimes their votes, their favorites, their idols... are contrary to mine. I always wanted to have a girl idol/ I guess from 2008, that has been my wish. Some friends are already doubtful if tehre could ever be an AI contestant which would rise to fame the same as Ke$ha or should I say Katy Perry. But there was none. VJ Frank feared earlier this year that if ever there is a woman who can make it to the finals, it would be another Carrie Underwood copycat and yes Frank's prediction happened. If there could ever be another girl rocker. If there could ever be another Ke$ha from the Idol stage. If there could only be another woman to say... "hey, we also have what it takes." Now you know that I am a feminist. Now you already have an idea who's my bet.
Yes. I was wishing that Haley could make it to the coronation. I was wrong. She was eliminated last week. She is different from Underwood. Much different from Fantasia. Different also from Jordin Sparks. And she will make history for being the first Woman Idol of this decade. Remember that 2008, David Cook was hailed idol. Followed by kris Allen in 2009. Last year it was Dewyze, who didn't performed a number on stage although he was there as an audience. And why two tributes for Beyonce?
Last night was a tremendous night in Nokia Theater. Lauren and Scotty fought cut throat. They had three rounds. First, they have to sing their favorite song which they sang earlier this season. Second, their own idols will pick a song for them. Third, of course, their coronation song. And the judges premonitioned that the night went to Lauren Alaina. of course, America can change the fate of those two teenagers. they chose the guy who embodies their aspirations. Who can voice their history in a much country-musical way.
I really enjoyed Bono and The Edge's performance of Risee Above 1. Ok let's admit, I enjoyed looking at Reeve Carney's immaculate face and wish I could steal it. the song is now available on iTunes the same as Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory" as of my latest check from their official websites. Let's talk about Gaga getting gaga. She just performed one of the greatest stage performance I could never forget. It must have been done with romantic aesthetics and hands on supervision from Gaga herself to be that great. I mean, there was an element of "Black Swan" in it, she interpreted the song not only vocally [which is singing it] but she also made a holistic interpretation by way of theatricals and choreo. Well, she's Lady Gaga. What can we expect? Actually... because of that, who will remember that TLC was guest on the show? Oh did they performed? I forgot, it was so 90's.
I was singing with the season ten boys when they unveiled Tom Jones, though we already know he would come out. He still is a legend in as much as Tony Bennet, who sang with Reinhart, is. And yes... Jennifer Lopez dance performance with his real life lover/partner Mark Anthony. A latin number which I enjoyed as if it was my television dancing. And yes, Steven Tyler singing Dream On which represents the journey of both McCreery and Alaina. Jaocb Lusk, Casey Abrams, James Durbin and Pia Toscanno are expected to shine this year also. I am convinced that Jimmy Iovine, in his genius mind will take advantage of their potentials and will never let them go. As a matter of fact, they should be the one, I mean anyone form them, fighting for the title.
It all boiled down to the results. They dimmed the lights and there they go. Seacrest read the results from the precious envelope and its said... Scotty won the game which lasted for four months on air. Next year, will there be a girl who will finally be called American Idol and not like Bowersox and Alaina who were only runner ups? Let's just wait.
Ang title ng article is Just Another Male Idol [Analysis].
Lastly, hooked ako sa kanta ng Kiss Jane na Baliw. Kakatawa nga eh. Nababaliw ako sa song na ang title ay "Baliw" at sobrang masaya ako na finally, nahanap na ng Kiss Jane ang sound na para sa kanila. Iba kasi ang tunog nila noong beginners pa lang sila sa industry. Ngayon, kitang kita na ma nag improve at mas bagay sa kanila ang genre kung saan sila naroon ngayon.
Yung umpisa pa lang na banat ok na ok. Fit yung boses ng vocals sa areglo ng kanta. Check out their songs sa mga downloading sites.
Happy Birthday also to E.R. Raymond Galicia and Happy First Wedding Anniversary to Albert Maloles and Paula Denise Poblete-Maloles.
Have a musical May everyone!

Now you know that I am a feminist. Now you already have an idea who's my bet.
Yes. I was wishing that Haley could make it to the coronation. I was wrong. She was eliminated last week. She is different from Underwood. Much different from Fantasia. Different also from Jordin Sparks. And she will make history for being the first Woman Idol of this decade. Remember that 2008, David Cook was hailed idol. Followed by kris Allen in 2009. Last year it was Dewyze, who didn't performed a number on stage although he was there as an audience. And why two tributes for Beyonce?
Last night was a tremendous night in Nokia Theater. Lauren and Scotty fought cut throat. They had three rounds. First, they have to sing their favorite song which they sang earlier this season. Second, their own idols will pick a song for them. Third, of course, their coronation song. And the judges premonitioned that the night went to Lauren Alaina. of course, America can change the fate of those two teenagers. they chose the guy who embodies their aspirations. Who can voice their history in a much country-musical way.
I really enjoyed Bono and The Edge's performance of Risee Above 1. Ok let's admit, I enjoyed looking at Reeve Carney's immaculate face and wish I could steal it. the song is now available on iTunes the same as Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory" as of my latest check from their official websites. Let's talk about Gaga getting gaga. She just performed one of the greatest stage performance I could never forget. It must have been done with romantic aesthetics and hands on supervision from Gaga herself to be that great. I mean, there was an element of "Black Swan" in it, she interpreted the song not only vocally [which is singing it] but she also made a holistic interpretation by way of theatricals and choreo. Well, she's Lady Gaga. What can we expect? Actually... because of that, who will remember that TLC was guest on the show? Oh did they performed? I forgot, it was so 90's.
I was singing with the season ten boys when they unveiled Tom Jones, though we already know he would come out. He still is a legend in as much as Tony Bennet, who sang with Reinhart, is. And yes... Jennifer Lopez dance performance with his real life lover/partner Mark Anthony. A latin number which I enjoyed as if it was my television dancing. And yes, Steven Tyler singing Dream On which represents the journey of both McCreery and Alaina. Jaocb Lusk, Casey Abrams, James Durbin and Pia Toscanno are expected to shine this year also. I am convinced that Jimmy Iovine, in his genius mind will take advantage of their potentials and will never let them go. As a matter of fact, they should be the one, I mean anyone form them, fighting for the title.
It all boiled down to the results. They dimmed the lights and there they go. Seacrest read the results from the precious envelope and its said... Scotty won the game which lasted for four months on air. Next year, will there be a girl who will finally be called American Idol and not like Bowersox and Alaina who were only runner ups? Let's just wait.
Ang title ng article is Just Another Male Idol [Analysis].
Lastly, hooked ako sa kanta ng Kiss Jane na Baliw. Kakatawa nga eh. Nababaliw ako sa song na ang title ay "Baliw" at sobrang masaya ako na finally, nahanap na ng Kiss Jane ang sound na para sa kanila. Iba kasi ang tunog nila noong beginners pa lang sila sa industry. Ngayon, kitang kita na ma nag improve at mas bagay sa kanila ang genre kung saan sila naroon ngayon.
Yung umpisa pa lang na banat ok na ok. Fit yung boses ng vocals sa areglo ng kanta. Check out their songs sa mga downloading sites.
Happy Birthday also to E.R. Raymond Galicia and Happy First Wedding Anniversary to Albert Maloles and Paula Denise Poblete-Maloles.
Have a musical May everyone!

so what about now?
Ano nang balita?
Ganun pa rin
Uso pa rin ang sta cruzan.
Hindi pa rin maka get over sa pagkawala ng isang mahalagang gamit, si Lorraine.
Kagabi, nanood kami ng sagala sa Zamora. Kahit anong gawin kong paghahanap, hindi ko makita yung account nung reyna na natipuhan ko. Kainis! Sabi ni James, "Kuya Paul, bakit yung isang reyna walang korona?" Hay... ang tanong ng mga bata. Narinig siya ng reyna sa tanong niya. Ngumiti siya sa bata. Inulit ko ang tanong sa kanya, "Bakit daw wala kang korona" sabay ngitian namin. Pero siyempre mas natuwa siya sa bata.
Jelayson Minencio ang pangalan niya. Hindi ko alam kung taga Nagcarlan nga siya. Malabong magkahanapan. Hay... pero hindi yan ang malaking problema.
Sa kabila ng advancement ng agham sa buhay ng tao, isang matagal nang problema sa sagala ang hindi pa rin nasusulusyunan. Laging namamatay ang ilaw ng mga arko habang naglalakad. Taon-taon nangyayari ito. Laging nagiging problema di lang ng mga organizers kung hindi lalo na ng mga manonood. Minsan pati ang mga nagpaparada dahil natatapilok sila sa kadiliman ng gabi. Bakit kasi magkakakabit ang mga kurdon ng ilaw? Wala bang magagawa para magkaroon ng mga arko na may sariling ilaw na de baterya o kahit na ano. Lagi na lamang bang nasa generator lang? Mukhang dapat na itong pagisipan, dahil nakakahiya naman tayo kung hanggang 2015 yan pa rin ang problema ng Filipino. Paano na ang turismo kung laging may namamatay na ilaw habang sumsagala ang mga reyna? Kailangan laging naka synchronize ang lakad ng lahat. Walang puwedeng mag madali o magmabagal.
Dapat magawan na ng paraan ang ganitong mga bagay.

shattered cup of coffee
Ngayon ang pinakamainit na buwan ng taon, May. Kasbay ng mga santa cruzan at pagtubo ng napakaraming mga bulaklak ang di magkamayaw na pagsisiksikan ng mga tao sa resorts at sa malls para maibsan ang init na nararamdaman sa loob ng karaniwang walang airconditioner na bahay.
Ito ang life... ika nga.
Lubos-luobs na ang paglalakwatya ng mga magaaral. Eh kasi naman, bilang na nila sa kalendaryo kung gaano na kalapit ang pasukan. Sinong hindi manginginig? Sinong hindi magmamadali? Kahit naman ako, lulubusin ko na ang masayang summer vacation na ito kung nagaaral pa ako. Para bang you just want every counted seconds to be just as memorable as it can be.
Sa sobrang pagod nga ni Kyrene, nailagay niyang facebook status ang mga sumusunod...
"today would be my long hours sleep day.. atlast! i deserve it, since i havent sleep for the past few days.. il see u bed soft pillows and a cool breeeze coming from the electricfan! goodnight beautiful people!"
No wonder, sinusulit din niya ang bakasyon.
Ang kapatid ko namang si Rizzel, trip mag DVD marathon kaya naman sa status niya nakalagay na....
"hay ngaun lang matutulog!!sa wakas natapos q dn ang My Girlfriend is a Gumiho!!!oh yeah!!!...i demand SEASON 2! :)"
Karamihan sa mga tao ngayon, lalo na ang mga collegians, kulang sa tulog. Maging sapat man ang tulog nila ay dahil sa binabawi nila ito sa umaga. Sila yung mga hindi mo na makikita kapag alas siete na nagjo-jogging dahil tulog hanggang alas onse. Babangon sila para kumain ng lunch which is also their breakfast. Tutulog ulit sandali at maliligo na kapag 4pm para gumimik nanaman sa gabi.
Kapag may trabaho na ang mga magkakaibigan, ang buwan rin ng Mayo ang nagiging pagkakataon nila para maka pag reunion. Actually, last May 07 habang nasa Ateneo ako ay naganap rin ang batch swimming namin na hindi ko na nadaluhan sa kasamaang palad.
Katatapos lang ng birthday ni Nikka Mae. At kamakailan lang dahil nga bakasyon eh napili naman niyang i-spent ang ilang araw ng kanyang May Fiesta sa Baguio. Wow na wow di ba? Sa kanyang FB account mababasa ang status na...
"Bye, Baguio! See you next year? Hahaha! I will certainly miss you! ANG INET DITO SA MAYNILAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! GRABEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
Hehe,... pasensiya ka mare, umuwi ka kaagad eh. Tiisin mo ngayon ang mala-pugon na init ng Maynila.
Nakakagigil lang na minsan, sa sobrang pagmamadali natin para nga masulit ang panahon ng bakasyon ay marami tayong natatatpakan na di na natin napapansin. Marami tayong maliliit na detalyeng hindi na napagtutuunan ng atensiyon. Higit sa lahat nagiging padalusdalos tayo hanggang sa point na may nababasag na. May nasisirang relasyon at iba pa.
Kanina lang, sa pagmamadali ni Rachid, nabasag niya ang isang tasa na halos 23 years nang ginagamit ng pamilya nila. Medyo nainis ako kasi may sentimental value na yun di ba? Pero isa lang ang tasang iyon sa mga naging biktima ng pagkabulag ng ilang tao na dulot ng mapangakit na kagandahan ng panahon tuwing Mayo. Maaaring mawerte kami na isang tasa lamang ang nasira. Paano kaya yung mga institutions na dahil sa isang mapagsayang miyembro ay may nauudlot nang responsibilidad? Paano kaya yung mga girlfirend na hindi na napagbubuhusan ng panahon ng mga boyfriend na laging nasa galaan? Hindi ba maaari ring mabasag kahit ang relasyon ng mga tao?
Palaging isaalang alang ang kaligtasan at pakikitungo sa tao lalo na sa kaayaayang buwan ng Mayo na karamihan ay pagod at nade-defocused na. Marami ang nagkakaroon ng pagkukulang dahil sa pagnanais na masulit ang bakasyon.

not about losing but about seizing
Lahat tayo minsan nang naulila, nawalan. Minsan nang naglaho ang mga bagay na mahahalaga. Ilan sa mga ito maaaring niluma ng panahon, ninakaw o inagaw ng iba, napagod at kusang bumitiw, nasunog, naanod, nalimutan at di na muli naabutan. Napakasakit maramdaman ng mga ito. Parang may parte ng pagkatao mo na kasabay ring nawala noong maglaho ang mga ito. Hindi mo maintindihan pakiramdam na pumipilipit sa iyo. Ganoon rin ako. Ganoon ang tao. Walang tao na hindi nawalan.
Ngayong araw na ito, isang mahalagang bagay ang nawala sa akin. Isang bagay na kahit piliting palitan ng iba ay hindi matutumbasan ni matatawaran ang degree of importrance. Naiwan ko si Lorraine sa Calamba. Matatandaan na noong July 02 2010 nagsulat ako patungkol sa sobrang sayang nararamdaman ko noong mabili ko si Lorraine sa Lyric sa Cubao, Quezon City. That was a Friday. Walang kaparis na saya ang naramdaman ko na sa wakas mayroon na ako ng isang bagay na matagal ko nang minimithi.
Ngayon, naiwala ko lang. Wala pang isang taon mula nang mabili ko ang napakahalagang bahagi ng kung sino ako. Gusto ko lang makatulog at paggising ko ituring na panaginip lang ang lahat pero kahit saan ako lumingon hindi ko na matatagpuan pa ang nawalang Lorraine. Ang nagiisang Lorraine.
Paano nga ba nawala? Sa sobrang excited ko nang umuwi, hindi ko namalayan na dalawa pala ang bag na dala ko. Yung isa ay yung case kung saan nakalagay si Lorraine. Hindi ko ito mailagay sa loob ng bag ko kaya hiwalay ko itong binibitbit. Noong nasa jeep na ako going to San Pablo, about to return home, naisip ko parang may kulang sa mga dala kio and that’s when I found out na wala na pala yung kulay blue na cross stitch case. Parang gusto kong humiyaw at bumaba ng sasakyan pero sayang kasi hindi ko na makukuha yung bayad ko kung bababa ako pabalik sa terminal at hahanapin ang isang bagay na malabo ko na muling makita.
I guess hindi bad day ang May 07, it is just that there are things na kusang mawawala sa iyo just to let you have a new one which could even be better than the ones you have had before. Ganito ko gustong tingnan ang pagkawala ni Lorraine. Ika nga ng iba, “Don’t cry over spilled milk.” At kung wala na ngang magagawa para mabuo ang isang broken egg, puwede kang gumawa ng isang masarap na omelet. Laging may bagong outcome. That’s economics. That’s life. Mawawala ang maraming bagay. Masakit, but you cannot mourn over it forever. Inisip kop na lang na kung nagawa kong makaget over sa pagkamatay ni Chesk na isang tao, isang mabait at bubbly na kaibigan, ano pa kaya sa isang instrumento na maaaring mapalitan kapag nagkaroon ulit ako ng pera. Hindi pa umaaabot ng isang taon mula ng mabili ko ang bagay na iyon kaya mas magiging mabilis ang pag recover bagaman maraming masasayang alaalang kasama ang bagay na iyon na iniwan ko na rin kanina. Maaari ko pa ring makuha ngayon, o kaya ay bukas pero for what? Sayang ang pagpapagal kung natanggap ko na. Iusang part na maganda iyon na buhay ko na willing akong i-let go kung kailangan.
My First Time to be in Ateneo
Itinuturing ko na lang na magandang kapalit sa isang magandang araw ang pagkawala ni Lorraine. I just think na necessary ito para ma experience ko ang saya na makapunta sa Ateneo de Manila University for the first time. I hope it is my first time. Maaari kasing nakapunta na ako hindi ko lang matandaan. So far, I can’t recall anything. The place happened to be very new to me.
The experience kanina was so great. Ang ganda ng Ateneo although mainit sa Manila at nahrapan ako sa biyahe kasi I came all the way from Laguna pa. Ganun ulit. Maaga akong gumising kasi nga 9am ang meeting. The meeeting took place sa Horacio de la Costa building, 2nd floor, to be exact. It was held by the PCP members of which chair si Dr. Agustin Martin Rodriguez. He was candid and very light and very embracing ang personality niya, even the conference room was light ang ambience. Ang saya! I just enjoyed meeting new people. All from different colleges and university. Of course, I like to thank big Sir Alvin Tan who invited me to attend the conference/planning. I learned a lot ngayong araw, mostly about sociology and why students are so bored with social sciences, how keep social science subjects truly alive para sa mga makabagong istudyante, and several others.
Thanks talaga to Mr. Alvin Tan. Nagkakilala kami noong ginagawa ko pa ang thesis ko noong college. He was teaching in Silang and he happened to be the only person available and accessible to be my thesis adviser. Hindi ako nagkamali, with him I found a friend and a pedagouge. Totoong master and dsiscipel yung nangyari sa amin. Parang jam pack. I learned new things from him habang inaayos namin ang thesis which rarely happens sa mga thesis students na hindi naman kakilala ang mga advisers nila. Siguro I was just lucky to have my thesis at the right place and at the right time. That’s how my life has been ever since, always the right place at the right time.
I don’t need to worry that much about the losts. I have to rechannel my thought about the GAINS. Sa mas malaking picture, makikita mo ang isang fulfilling Saturday of my life na naganap sa loob ng Ateneo at sa lunch namin sa Kenny Rogers. It was fun and learning at the same time.
First Time to be in LRT 2
Matagal ko nang naririnig ang tungkol sa LRT 2. But it so happened na ngayon ang first time ko na makasakay rito. Wwell I am impressed by how it looks and all the facilities with complete security extremely comfortable for passengers to be there. Parang gusto mong mag thank you na naroon ka at doon ka sasakay.
After ng lunch namin, sa LRT 2 kasi kami sumakay since we are in Katipunan going to Cubao while Sir Tan and sir Crisanto is going to Gilmore. Ako sa Cubao sasakay papunt ang Lucena. Maaayos pa ang hitsura ng LRT 2 at medyo luwag naman ang sasakyan. Hindi ako makapagreklamo pero siguro kung sa NAIA ako naroon magrereklamo ako. Iningatan ko talaga si Lorraine sa LRT 2 until noong makasakay ako ng bus going to Calamba. It was all my fault. But accepting it, Iniisip ko na lang na it’s nobody’s fault.
Sa May 24 maaaring masundan ang meeting at gaganapin naman sa UST for the elction of interim officers ng PCP. I am so looking forward to that event that am already thinking of what stories and plans to tell Dr. Rodriguez, and hope that mor efriends could be there.
Happy Mother’s Day to all Mom’s out there !!!!!!!!!
