Work under Pleasure! ( Bohol Trip )

2012-01-16T08:11:00.000-08:00

November 2011
( late post )

Ang byaheng ito ay ang pinakamagandang travel ko for 2011. Aside from going in this beautiful tourist spot, this travel is absolutely FREE!!! So lucky for us to have our annual sales planning here, its indeed a work under pleasure ^_^

Iterinary for the whole trip. ( Ang Hectic! )

From Manila, a one and a half hours flight to Tagbilaran airport c/o Cebu Pacific ^_^

Arriving at Tagbilaran Airport

From the airport, riding our rented coaster van

This is my first time in Bohol and one of their famous resort here is Bohol Beach Club. The Resort beside the sea is really a hit especially its amenities and FOOD!

Welcome to the paradise ^_^

Front beach white sand...

Relaxing Under a coconut tree , bbeeemm!!!!

Sunset at Bohol Beach Club

Basically, our first day is for our formal sales planning discussion. Honestly, this is a formal discussion but it doesnt bored me! Maybe because we are indeed inspire by the nice ambiance ^_^

Conference Room..its work work work ( no complains ^_^ )

Work is done! Its time to Parteeee!!!

After the half day work, its time to experience Bohol's night life. Alona Beach front is the name for food, music and firedance!!! Each restau here has acoustic or live band entertainers and some have kid fire dancers.

Fresh seafoods! Choose your fish and presto, they 'll cook it ! Namit ^_^

Kid fire dancer. Its entertaining though I am a bit sad, its child laboring!!!

Amazing footprint in the sand..

I like the painting in the background..ummm... thats infamous!

After a heavy dinner, time for a little alcohol. its a mini mart at the opening street of Alona.

Ending this night is a ZZzzzzzzzz

The following day, we started our Bohol tour by waking up at 5am to hunt the Dolphins! Yeah! We ride the boat ( with life vest ofcoarse! ) going Pamilacan Island which is infamous with the playfull dolphins. Tip for travellers, get up early if you want to see the Dolphins because at 7am, no might not be seeing one. ( sorry, I dont got a shot of the Dolphins ;-( )

We saw the Dolphins twice and the fun part of it is the chase! haha boats are speeding in circles just to catch them! playfull indeed!

Next destination, Balicasag Island. This is famous for their scuba diving and snorkling. And yes, its rewarding! you can find Nemo here! too bad, I doesnt have an underwater camera ;-( Babalikan kita promise! Locals here offer snorkling gears which you can rent at 100pesos each such as shoes and snorkling gear itself. From the seaport, you need to ride a small boat in which will take you at the snorkling spot at the middle of the sea. Its my first time to try this and I feel comfortable since the locals do a close monitoring of their passenger. They make sure that they keep an eye on you to avoid accidents. The water current is a little abnormal so I guess thats the reason why they wont let you swim alone. We saw a lot of dancing and colofull fishes and a lot of beautiful corals as well.

I forgot to mentioned the locals here do the cooking! And its the best lunch so far!

After the snorkling fun, we decided to go at Virgin Island. And oh, its heaven!!!!

Virgin Island

Okay, I have a fan at my side, hehe

Un model!!! haha

Buko time! Locals here offer Buko and some are selling Pearls in the forms of earrings,rings and necklace.

Beach to Swimming Pool at Bohol Beach Club

On our third day, we went to the four top tourist spots in Bohol.

1. Blood Compact- historically, the locals made a deal with the foreigners through ancient ceremony called Blood Compact.

2. Tarsiers - this is a dream come true, I always wanted to see tarsiers since this is so infamous all over the world. According to our tour guide, the oldest tarsier in the area is a sixteen year old tarsier. No flash of cams are allowed inside the place since tarsiers are prone to shocks and suicidal when caught off guard. They are so tiny that I think if I hold them their bones will crash. haha Entrance fee is at 50 pesos per head. Not bad.

3. Chocolate Hills - hills that turned into color brown especially during summer, hundreds of it are sooo amazing.

4. Loboc River Cruise- THE BEST PART!!! Big big dream is to go here and to sing infront of the crowd!!! haha and I am sooo happy that it actually happened!!! yehey!!!! "I'll never go far away from you..lalala "....

Entrance of the floating restau at 750pesos per head

The cruise lasted for about 45 minutes crossing the famous Loboc River. Such an amazement seeing a clean river with large floating restaus with singers.

A pit stop in Loboc River wherein "Itas" are located . picture taking was allowed with pay.

My Best moment!!! Singing in Loboc River Cruise ^_^

A nice sales lady in Loboc River, very warm and accomodating!

We really do have a lot of fun here at Bohol but the most memorable part is that, eventually, our flight was cancelled! Hohoho, its because its raining in Manila, they cancelled the flight so we extended for another night there and luckily, Cebu Pac shouldered all the accomodations, transpo and food for the night and we got a free one way ticket too!!! Yehey! As of the moment we are still finalizing to where we will use our free flight ..ummm...A Complete Work under Pleasure Trip indeed ^_^

Happy Bohol Trip Summiteers!!!

Crazy Typhoon Skim ( Pundakit Trip )

2012-01-06T21:05:00.000-08:00

September 2011
(late post )

Isa ata ito sa mga literal na crazy trip na ginawa naming magkakatropa. Originally, we planned to do some camping sa Anawangin . Super excited lahat, we bought some camping must haves two weeks before the said trip. Apparently, dumating ang bagyong Pedring. Ansaya, ang mata ng bagyo is sa mismong pupuntahan namin , which is Zambales. The night before the trip, lakas ng hangin at ulan pa din. " GINUSTO NYO YAN WAH, PANINDIGAN NYO YAN!!" , ang motto namin habang bumabyahe kami papuntang Victory Liner sa Cubao. Bitbit ang malalaking container ng foods at bags, sumakay kami sa pa-byaheng Iba Zambales. Halos 4 na oras na byahe, tip sa mga traveller, maging alert kasi kelangan nyong bumaba sa Bayan ng San Antonio Zambales.

San Antonio Zambales

From here, tatawid ka sa kabilang road para sumakay ng trike papuntang Brgy Pundakit, wherein sasakay ng bangka papuntang Anawangin. Medyo kabado kami kasi hello pa din ang ulan.

Arriving at Brgy Pundakit ^_^

Sad news. tanaw nyo ung bundok sa kabila? sa kabila pa nyan ang Anawangin at di daw kami pwedeng tumawid dahil di kaya ng bangka sa sobrang maalon. huhu. stuck kami.

Di kami makapaniwala, di kaya ng powers namin ang tumawid, ung isang manong, sabi samin mag trek na lang daw kami 6 hours un na pagtawid sa bundok, kabila na daw kasi nun is Anawangin na. Goodluck sa mga dala namin plus ang ulan at putik paakyat ng bundok. CRAZY lang.

Mag pose na lang kami hahaha

Anu kaya tinatanaw nya???Ummmm...

At dahil di na kami makakapag camping, alangan naman kung babalik na kami sa manila! xempre hindi! kaya napagdesisyunan namin na magstay na lang sa Pundakit beach mismo. At di naman kami ngsisi kasi Sobrang saya dito!!!!!

Nalaman namin na Blessing in disguised pala ang pagpunta namin dito kasi pag may typhoon pala ang best time for this place---- Its one of the Surfing spot dito sa Pinas!!!! Yahoo!!!!! at dagsa na ang mga surfers at may competition pa pala that day!! Ang swerte naman namin ^_^

kalma pa lang...

A.O. Pose..medyo waley na...

Attack!!!!! Boom!

Surfing Spot Pala ang Pundakit Zambales!

Mga Pro-Surfers ^_^

May natutunan ako dito, kapag pala beginner surfer, mas malalaki ung boards na gamit. So ung mga maliliit na surf boards tulad ng hawak nila ay isang Pro surfer board.

Sa unang gabi namin, tumuloy kami sa Little Villa , mabait ang owner at pinayagan kaming magrent ng isang maliit na bahay kubo ( literal ) for 1,500 good for 2 days na un! may sariling comfort room . nung gabing yon, sobrang lamig at maririnig mo ang hagapas ng hangin sa labas. Hahaha namatay pa ilaw namin ng midnight! Takutan xempre!!!! haha Ako, di ako natakot, kasi kasama ko mga kaibigan ko sa habang buhay weh ^_^

Morning everyone!!!!!

Magpakailanman ^_^

Waley lang, cute ko kasi dito haha

Hulaan nyo sinong Tindera dito??hahaha We love ate!!! accomodating!

Nagkaubusan ng pagkain sa umaga, kaya back to basics haha

2nd day namin ang pinakamasaya!!!! Aside pala sa Surfing, dinadayo din ang Pundakit for the SkimBoarding!!! Skimboarding is parang skateboard pero instead na sa cemento ung board, sa buhangin sya na smooth and flat at hinahampas ng maliliit na waves. Perfect ang Zambales for this kasi may mababaw na part ng lupa between tubig tabang at nang dagat. We also met ung mga astig na Skimboarders ng Zambales, at proud to be Pinoy kasi sila mismo ang gumagawa ng mga skimboards nila, nakilala namin sila Kuya Jaro, part owner ng JaroManoy Skimboards, pwede kayo umorder sa kanila, personalized skimboards starting rate at 2,500 ( contact number : 09155446723 ).. Group nila ang nagturo samin kung pano mag skimboarding. At sobrang saya!!! Ang lulufet nila! astigin mga moves nila, maiinsppire ka. ^_^

Isa sa mga mababait na skimboarder na nagturo at nagpahiram ng board nya samin, hehehe

Ganito ang takbo pag padating na ang waves!!!

Okay, susubukan namin yan!

Yun un woh!!! my first skimboard lesson ^_^

Excited kaming lahat nyan!

Semplang!! lol ^_^

Moment for life ^_^

Ms. Earrl , thanks! hope to see you again ^_^

Kuya Jaro - one of the best skimboarder

Higit pa sa camping ang na experienced namin dito, at sobrang memorable. Kahit pala may bagyo, maeenjoy mo pa din ang kalikasan lalo na at kasama mo mga makukulit na tropa na Game lagi ^_^ Surely, babalikan ka namin Brgy. Pundakit!!!!

Feel the Earth!!! ( sagada trip 2011 )

2011-08-05T00:02:00.000-07:00

Two Weeks after the major hang over---------
I was appalled to myself when I absentmindedly grab a postcard in Papemelroti and begun scrutinizing a particular card that was so familiar and green in my eyes. I cant believed it, I was pinned in the captivating view of the seemingly never ending mountains and terraces of the mountain province in which one of its haven gave us an unforgettable Backpacking adventure ...This place is where no grassroots at all, some called it the end of the mountain, some called it a place into the wild and for a common tourist like me, it was simply called Sagada Mt Province ;-)

Ehem. binura ko lahat ng sinulat kong kasama sa paragraph sa taas, mas feel ko atang ikwento toh sa tagalog since pinag uusapan natin ay about sa isa sa pinakamagandang lugar dito sa Pinas.. re-phrasing...

Isa ata sa pinakamagandang bagay na nagawa ko "so far" ay ang byaheng langit na ito. literal na aabot ka sa langit dahil abot kamay mo na din ang mga ulap sa taas ng mga bundok na babaybayin mo papuntang Sagada. Kasama ang 6 kong mga kaibigan at ang aming mga backpack, dumiretso kami sa Victory Liner Terminal sa Cubao , mga bandang 11pm. Nakaka-excite kasi kanya kanyang nagsiliban sa trabaho ang tropa para lang sa lakad na ito ( may kakilala nga ako, paalam nya sa ofis may "sore eyes" sya ). Pag sakay pa lang sa bus, ma aaksyon na agad ang mga pangyayari, akalain mo un, may " cheating" arrangement pala pag pa byaheng Baguio! Tip ko para sa mga traveller, sa pagbili pa lang ng ticket eh siguraduhin nyong ung ticket nyo is ung magkakatabi ang number. Ung dapat na katabi ko na Miss, masungit kasi nag tanung ako kung pwedeng mgswitch kami ng seats, abah, "No" na pasungit ang sagot! haha pasalamat sya at di ako na Black swan! Isa pang Bus tip, siguraduhing kung stranger ang katabi nyo or nasa likod nyo, wag ugaling parang nasa bahay ka lang kumilos. Ung manong kasi sa likod ng isa naming kasama, ayun, kulang na lang sofa bed na ang position ng upuan at sya pa ang galit ng tinawag sya ng kunduktor upang iayos ang upuan nya kasi nga naiipit na ang kasama namin sa likod, then at the top of that, Super Hilik galour na, hahaha...Tulog...Bus stop...tulog..Bus stop ulet..tulog... ang haba ng byahe pero okay lang kasi madaling araw naman at talagang bedtime sya. Wi-fi pala ang Victory Liner! weeeee.. facebook status na bongga....

Baguio at 6am ;-)

Hayan, tanaw na namin ang bundok at fogs!! Baguio na kami ! Agad agad, sumakay kami sa walang aircon na taxi mula sa terminal at nagpahatid na sa Downtown Baguio sa Dangwa Bus Terminal kung saan sasakay kami ulet ng bus pa-Sagada na. 15 minutes away lang kaya mabilis lang. Sa bus station, may mga nagbebenta ng Glabs ( wrong spelling ata ako? ) , ung nilalagay sa kamay, kakailanganin sya pag umakyat kana ng bundok at sa Cave, 35 pesos rubberized na, pasok sa budget! First trip ng byaheng Sagada is 6:30am . Ang last trip naman ay 1pm . Imagine kung gaano kadelikado ang daan at ang aga ng cut-off.weee, exciting lalo. .taddaaa!!! Paalis na ang Bus!

Downtown Baguio-Dangwa Station

Enjoy tong trip na ito, saan ka pa, 6 hours ulet ang byahe mo at take note, Non-Aircon ang Bus na sasakyan mo! Isama mo pa ang mga chickens sa itaas ng bubong at ang malamyos na country music sa radio station. Di sarkastic ang tono ko dito wah, pero makakaaliw pakinggan ang music sa bus. Maganda ang beat ng music at talagang original. Napanuod ko toh sa isang docu sa tv, ung mga local artist dito sa Baguio at Benguet talagang hard core artist, kasi, nilalako pa nila talaga ang mga CD Album nila sa bahay-bahay para maibenta, eh di naman siksikan katulad dito sa Manila ang mga bahay, so lakad ng malayo talaga. Clap,clap,clap.

Naexcite nanaman ako, after 1hour, bundok bundok bundok na ang views ! After 1 hour ulet... ang reaksyon ko, "wow,bundok!", tapos, "wow, ganda ng bundok!", at tapos ulet " wow,wow!! astig,bundok ulet!"....ganun kaganda ang view, tanawin pa lang, ulam nah...... After 2 hours, ganito na reaksyon ko " ok, bundok.....(antok at pagod na ang pwet sa pag upo,hehe ).. dont worry sa mga travelers, may mga pit stops naman weh, na may mga masasarap na pagkain like Pancit bihon with Fresh Benguet veggies!

On road view going Sagada

Ito nah, ang sumunod na 3 hours sa bus ay masasabi kong " Deathtifying Stunts" !!! parang bulate lang ang zigzag sa Baguio kumpara sa zigzag pa-Sagada! Bangin kung bangin at minsang single lane ang daan! ang malufet, ung bus, parang 180 degress ang ikot!!! grabe, naging madasalin nga ako bigla, kada liko kasi, talagang parang mahuhulog ka na lng bigla. Buti na lang si manong driver, the best!!! Idol ko na sya!! ang galing,partida, palingon lingon pa sa bundok si manong nyan, Coooll!!!!!!

Hayan, 1 hour na lng andun na daw kami, grabe, akyat ng akyat ang bus!! taas na namin!!! pag nasira ang sasakyan mo sa daan dito, grabe, di tiyak kung saan ang bagsak mo! naging patag na ang daan...Taddaaa.. Welcome to Brgy, Dagdag Sagada!

Arriving at Sagada

1pm nang makarating kami, eto na magstart ang adventure, ang daan puro pataas at pababa!!! daig pa mrt! haha pupunta na kami sa pag stayan namin dito. Buti na lang ung couple na kasama namin, nakapunta na dito kaya tried and tested na ang service ng tinuluyan nila. We stayed at Tita Mary's Residential Lodge with free coffee,mountain tee and hot water ;-) Sakto lang ang place and sobrang mura ng rent, 200 pesos per head per day lang! May fireplace, common bathroom at computer with internet free pa. What I liked about the place, nasa gitna sya ng mga pupuntahan namin at kahilera nya ay ang mga souvenir shops, mga kainan at bilihan! Si Tita Mary accomodating pa at ung place nya, may larger than life na Sagada map para sa mga guest nya. doon, pwede nyo nang tignan kung saan ang mga pupuntahan nyo.

Residential Lodge ni Tita Mary

Right after namin maiayos ang mga gamit namin, dumiretso kami sa sikat na sikat na Yogurt House na restau!! grabe, ung yogurt nila, no match ang Yogurt Nation ng The Fort! fressh fruits at iba ang timpla ng yogurt mismo nila. At take note, ang waitress nila ay fluent sa english with a good grammar,announciation,pronunciation,diction and lahat na ata ng may -ion na word. Nosebleed. Un pala, typical na sa mga taga Sagada ang fluency sa English since they are not conquered by spaniards and that American missionaries are the ones that reached out to them and educated the natives. Naisip ko nga, buti pa ang mga foreigners, nagawa nilang mag-imbibe ng knowledge and helped ung mga natives natin samantalang ang government hindi nagawa.hays naku... Anyways, solve na solve kami sa malalaking servings ng food sa Yogurt house, take note, may fresh veggies na side dishes ang lahat ng main dishes nila.

Sobrang busog talaga!!! Its time for some real actions!! Since pa hapon na, ang una naming pupuntahan ay ang Echo Valley na 20 minutes away mula sa tinutuluyan namin. It was called Echo Valley since pag nandoon ka na, you can whisper este you can shout out loud and then you can hear the loud echo as well!!! Whats the main attraction in this place??? Well, its their Hanging Coffin!!! Yes right, ang sabi ng isang local dun, ito ang practices ng mga ninuno pa nila. it was derived from their old religion which they believed and worship the " anito's and spirits". Hindi daw lahat ay nabibigyan ng opportunity na mailibing sa mga caves at cliff edges or hangin coffins, kelangan native ka since birth and you are married with children. Naniniwala kasi ang mga Sagadan Natives na in time, mareresurrect ang mga namayapa na and para di na mahirapan ang mga ninuno nila sa pag ahon sa lupa, kaya naka hung na lang ang kanilang mga labi sa mga bundok at caves. May mga names din ang bawat coffins and may kaliitan. naka-fetus position daw ang mga bangkay, so parang mga mummies lang ng Egypt pero naka fetus position.

Hanging Coffins at Echo Valley

Sa ngayon, may nadaanan na kaming cementary before ung Echo Valley, so ung mga tao ngaun, siguro ay less na lang ang practice nila sa ritual na ito. Saglit lang ang trekking namin dito, kaya napag desisyunan ng grupo namin na dumiretso na sa Underground river which is karugtong lang ng Echo Valley. Eto na ang challenge, ala kaming tour guide!!!!! hahaha pero sabi namin, keri lang yan, susundan na lang namin ang mga trail. Hayan, nagsisimula nang umanbon at dumudulas na ang daan. Hay naku, ako ang pinaka loser sa group, ilang beses akong nadudulas at sumasadsad sa putik!!! badtrip ang Sandugo na tsinelas na dala ko! amp. Tip ulet , pag trekking, bumili ng Tribu na sandals!!! ung makapit wah!! hahaha.. Natakot kami kasi dumidilim at lumalakas na ang ulan ay andoon pa kami sa gubat. Pero kaya yan!! warm up challenge ito!! aakyat, bababa ka ng mga bato .. may nadaanan kami na tubo at damo lang ang kakapitan mo paakyat, magkabilang dulo " deathtifying bangin"!!! hay naku, sobrang scary talaga. Buti na lang may pag ka survival/ amazona ang isa naming kasama at sya nakahanap ng daan!!! mag 6pm at madilim dilim na ng makaakyat kami. ung inakyatan namin is ung Hospital pala ng lugar, grabe..creeppy!!! ang saya sa pakiramdam. maaprreciate mo ang ganda ng nature mula sa loob ng bundok ;-)

Fresh pa mga face - going Echo Valley

Church along the way

Akyat na papuntang Cementary and Echo Valley

Steep-along-the-way

River!! tubig na wagas!! lamig;-)

Tanaw nyo yan? Inakyat Inakyat namin yan!

Creepy..may mukha ang Old tree na toh

After echo valley!! wuhooo!!! dugyot ;-)

After the physically draining, culture shocking experience, ligo muna and then kainan to the max!!! Our next stop, The Salt and Pepper restau !! Swerte na din, kasi bumuhos ang malakas ng ulan that night, sobrang lamig na nga, na triple pa pero keri lang, presko sa pakiramdam ang hangin sa Sagada. Tamang tama din ang pagdating namin sa kainan, kasi, hanggang 9pm lang pala ang mga kainan doon, may curfew kasi sa Sagada. We have a festive dinner, ang dami din ng servings dito sa Salt and Pepper!! sabi ng owner, kaya daw Salt and Pepper ang name ng place is because ung dating chef nila doon ay ngwork daw sa Olangapo Zambales dati sa isang Salt and Pepper na restaurant, so, na inspired sya kaya sinudggest nya sa owner na un din ang ipangalan sa restau. sobrang sarap ng Rosemarie chicken nila and spag!!! Sobrang cozy ng place, and ang generous din ng owner, she gave us free Squash flavours cupcakes!!! di ako kumakain ng gulay pero nakain ko toh, kasi ang tamis at masarap!! yumyum!!!

Salt n Pepper meal time

S&P Squash Cupcake ;-)

We got up ng sobrang aga!!!! 4am ang call time namin!!! our destination-- Mt Kiltepan!!! its 15 minutes away, and di naman ito mahirap akyatin tulad ng echo valley but from the peak nito, habol namin ay ang perfect view ng Sagada sunrise!!!! parang nasa taas ka ng mundo!!! kita mo kasi ang ulap sa baba mo, inaakap ang mga terraces at mga bahay sa baba ng bundok.. kanta nga ng isa naming kasama " Im on the edge....-lady gaga song".. haha breathtaking and cold, kung dun lang sa tuktok ng bundok ang house ko, araw araw siguro maaga ang gising ko ;-)

Im on the edge of.... Mt Kiltepan

Early birds ;-)

Nakalimutan kong ikwento, maari ay nagtataka kayo kung paano kami nakakapunta sa mga locations namin, the secret- the friendly SEGA Sagada Environmental Guild Association , sila ang mga locals na tourist guides sa Sagada. may mga information centers na malapit lang din sa nirerent namin na place. Doon kayo makakakuha ng map, tour guide at pati van na service nyo.. rent namin sa Van-500 pesos per location at 600 pesos per tour guide per day - hati hati kayo dyan, so mas marami kayong magkaka troopa, mas less ang expenses ;-) sobrang sulit grabe, kasi talagang magagaling at trained ang mga toure guides. Kami, nag stick kami sa tour guide namin na si Kuya Errol na Grayish ang color ng eyes, mabait kasi sya sobra!

Tourist info Desk at your Service

After the breath taking view sa Mt. Kiltepan, nagutom kami ( as usual) . bumalik kami sa Residential Lodge and kumain sa kapit bahay namin na restau ang The Banas. Sobrang lufet ng longanisa nila with brown rice and Wild mango fruit! haha ala akong masabi sa hot choco nila at Sagada soup!!! natuwa kami sa alagang pusa nila doon, wild cat!! lahat ata ng animals doon wild eh, kasi, kahit alang breed na pusa or aso, ang gaganda!! ganda ng mga balahibo, marahil ay dahil sa magandang climate doon.

Bana's Sagada Soup, mainit init pa

Bana's, our friendly neighborhood

Sa sarap ng food namin, hinahanda na namin ang aming mga sarili sa susunod naming challenge. Next : Mt Ampacao . Ito na ang hard core trekking experience of all trekking!!! we went there around 9am, sobrang ganda sa baba pa lang. makipot ang daan pero mas friendly ang daan nya kaysa sa echo valley. from there, ang aming tour guide ay itinuro samin ang isang secret pag ng tretrekk.. para mas mabilis makaakyat ng bundok, use a magic stick!!!hehe mas madali kasi kapag may pang tukod ka pag umaakyat ng bundok at the same time, nachecheck mo sa dinadaanan mo sa harapan. you can get it saa gilid gilid ng dadaanan mo. mga 4 na oras ang lakaran at pahinga, pero ang magandang part ng Mt Ampacao, sa bawat pagmasid mo sa paligid, sobrang ganda!!!! makikita mo ang mga nagtataasang pine trees at wild orchirds. may mga wild berries and roses din! may mga wild mushrooms at the same time wild shits ( tae ng kabayo at baka ata un ) with berries and mushrooms on top ;-) Favoirite part ko dito is yong parang nasa netherland na set up sa tuktok. puro small pine trees sya na parang christmas trees!!! talagang ang ganda ganda ng Pinas, pang holliwood sa ganda. Sa tuktok, meron din pastulan si Lolo Alps ni Heidi, hehe at mas madaming edible na berries kang makikita. ung isa naming kasama, naging favoirite nya agad un! Ang challenging na part dito, is ung pag baba. buti na lang suot na namin ang aming mga Glabs ( wrong spelling ulet ) , mapapakapit ka talaga sa mga baging baging na tusok tusok.. sabi ng toure guide namin, ung may natatanaw pa kami na kabilang bundok, un na daw ang Tirad Pass kung saan namatay si Gregorie Del Pilar. Hanep, may pa-triangle talaga ang korte ng tuktok, pero ilang bundok pa ang tatawirin mo bago ka makarating doon. woossshhh.. ang saya !!! isa pa sa nadiskubre ko sa Mt. Ampacao nung nasa tuktuk na kami, ay talagang abot ng "Globe " ang mundo! ang lakas ng signal ng globe sa tuktok,haha

Mt Ampacao survivors!

Stop and drink muna

Taas ng tingin ;-)

Tremendous trekking but super worth it ! daming gutom nanaman kami nito, lunch time na, at nirefer samin ni manong driver ang Budget meal na kainan! sa downtown market, basement area ay matatagpuan ang isang kainan na pasok sa budget. 75 pesos isang order may isang ulam and rice ka na, may libreng coke ka pa! sarappp...

After kumain, we are ready for the highlight ng Sagada trip namin-- ang Cave Connection. We will start at Lumiang Cave and ang exit na nun ay ang Sumaging Cave. at first kinakabahan ako dito, kasi first time kong papasok ng cave and on top of that, 6 hours kang nasa loob ng cave!!! halaaa.. nirequired kami na magkaroon ng 3 guides kasi since 7 kami, di kakayanin ng 1 guide lang dahil sa mga obstacle na matitindi na dadanasan namin sa loob ng cave. That afternoon, nagtungo na kami sa lugar ng cave, 30 minutes away from our rented place. Akala mo sa una, daanan lang ung cave, un pala, bababa ka sa ibaba ng kalsada at maglalakad ng mga 30 minutes para makarating ka sa bukana ng cave. hanep. bungad pa lang parang gusto mo nang umatras sa nakikitang kadiliman with the grand entrance pa ng mga coffins sa gilid. No choice nah, ala nang atrasan ito. kaya nagpatuloy kami sa pagpasok sa loob ng cave! ung mga tour guides namin, nagsimula nang magsindi ng gasera. tama, gasera lamang ang magiging ilaw namin sa loob ng cave!! nagsimula na din silang maglabas ng mga lubid sa mga backpack nila habang kami naman ay nagsimula nang magtanggal ng tsinelas at sandals. Tip ulet, magtapak na kayo! trust your feet!! at ito na ang extremely " deathtifying "! papasok pa lang, sobrang hirap na dahil sa maliliit na butas kayo dadaan. ung ibang lusutan, sobrang parang di kakasya ang tao pero kelangang ilusot mo ang katawan mo doon. and take note ha, ang gilid mo, mga bangin. sa sobrang lalim, kadiliman nga angmakikita mo. amp. kapit na kapit ang mga pwet namin sa mga bato... turo samin ng tour guides namin, kelangan ung weight namin, ilagay sa pwet para di dumausdos pababa.. at wag na wag mag papanick. sobrang naging thankfull kami sa mga tourguides namin kasi, ang gagaling nila! taong cave ata mga un weh, biro mo mga naka " beachwalk" na tsinelas sila at ni hindi nila un tinanggal!! gagaling!!! ako ang pinaka mareklamo at sobrang cause of delay kasi mahirap talaga ang mga dadaanan mo. may mga part nga doon na sobrang "deathtifying" na natakot talaga ako kasi aakyatin ka pero ang tinatapakan mo is gilid ng bangin na mataas! amp.. pero na inspired ako ng sabi ng isang tour guide namin na " FEEL THE EARTH", meaning kelangan makiisa ka sa nature para masabayan mo ang daloy ng nature, and it works!! sobrang ung instinct mo kusa syang kakapit sa mga bato bato even though may mga tubig. siguro nga ang main point ng adventure na ito is to get closer and intimate again with nature. we need to understand and embrace its origin and at the same time, we have to treat it like our best buddy so that in return, it will also treat us very well and will show us the beauty that it hides. ... nakalungkot nanaman kasi, sa loob ng cave, may part doon na may Vandals!!! sobra!! ang ibang turista tlga, mga mapanira! going back, worth it ung pinunta mo doon sa cave, may mga stalagmites and the icy water na pwedeng mag swimming!! sobrang ganda ng mga rock formations and water flows.Dati daw lubog sa tubig itong caves since dating Sea or dagat ang sagada, kaya tlgang magnificent ang loob nya... . un nga lang, paglabas namin ng cave, warak ang shorts namin!! hahaha not to mentioned ung dadaanang shits ng paniki!!! ewwwwww but super duper memorable ;-) at 6pm, nakalabas na kami ng Cave.

Bukana ng Lumiang Cave

Kunwari brave kami ,pero hindi, hindi!! haha

Kinabahan kaming lahat sa part na to.ala ka kasing kakapitan, may running water yan. at Bangin na yang sa harapan namin hayssss

Cave survivors!! wuhoo!!! photoshoot with our guides ;-)

One more thing you ought to remember , paglabas nyo ng cave, make sure na may service van kayo!!! kami kasi ala, hahaha eh sobrang layo at puro pataas ang lalakarin mo if ever eh ubos na ubos na ang energy nyo paglabas ng cave.. hahaha lucky for us, may naawa samin, ung mga nakasabay namin sa cave with our tour guides, pinasakay kami sa likod ng truck nila.. sobrangg relieved kami , thanks guys!

That night, ni hindi na kami nakalabas ng hotel, nagluto na lang kami ng pancit canton at mga junk foods at pinagsaluhan naming lahat.. what a day, physically draining but more over, satisfied ;-)

Love this pic ;-)

The follow day, late kaming nagising lahat. hahaha 7am kami nagsipag gayak, our next stop : Marlboro mountain! this is where wild horses can be found. sabi ng tour guide namin, dapat daw mas maaga pumunta kasi mas madami daw maaabutan na horses, pero di talaga kinaya dahil nabadtrip kami sa kinainan namin na Shanghai House na restau! inabot kami ng mga 2.5 hours doon, at hindi masarap ang food!!! buti na lang may cable tv sila at palabas ay Cars, kaya di masyadong nabadtrip.. ang nakakainis na part lang doon is bad na nga ang service dahil sa tagal mag serve ng long silog na sobrang liit ay bad manners pa ang tindera. nagsungit ng wala sa lugar..haysss.. ayaw ko sana isulat ito, kaso dahil sa kainang ito, nasira ang iterinary namin for the day. amp. 11am na kami naka akyat ng Marlboro mountain at isang wild horse lang ang nadatnan namin ;-( pero enjoy pa din ang trip, ung isang friend namin, nag Plank sa taas ng bundok!!! haahha at mas madaming wild berries dito!!!! pagkaing tunay, hahaha

Hay naku, beware, bad ang service sa restau na toh.

Lemon pie, namit ;-)

Dahil pare pareho kaming nakaramdam ng matinding pagod, dahil sa non stop na challenges, nag day off muna kami sa adventure that afternoon at nagsipag tulog kami!! hahaha pagka hapon, ayon, shopping nah sa mga souvenir shops doon!!! the best ang mga blueberry jam, mountain tea leaves, fruit wines , black and brown rice, at mga sagada coffee nila!!! alamid coffees kasi, mura lang doon un!!! bumili talaga kami ng " I Survive Sagada " shirt dahil totoo naman tlga!!! hahaahha that night, nag hotdog party kami sa fireplace ng hotel ni Tita Mary ;-) saya...

Oooppsss... di pa kami uuwi nyan, the following day, 5am ang call time namin at nagpunta kami sa Bumod-ok Falls, the largest water falls sa Sagada. ito ang exciting, kasi, tatawid ka literary sa Rice Terraces!!! hahaha pagdating namin doon ay pinalitan ang tour guide namin na si Kuya Errol, kasi dapat pala ang tour guide doon ay kasapi ng tour guide association ng ppntahan namin which is hindi SEGA. kakalungkot, akalain mo un, kahit sa Sagada may issueng politika.hayss... Okay naman ang pumalit na guide namin, local sya doon at mabait naman.. nakakatuwa at talagang dadaanan mo ang pilapil.. mga isa at kalahating oras din kaming naglakad at sa wakas, nakarating din kami sa fall!! grabe, malayo pa lang kami, tila umuulan na,, ganun kalayo ang ange ng falls.. sobrang lakas ngagos ng tubig at sobrang ginaw din.. naligo na agad kami !!! ang maganda sa part na un, may makikita kang mga basurahan, talagang iniingatan ng mga locals ang falls at kita naman iyon sa linis ng tubig doon. .. saglit lang ang ligo namin doon, after noon, dumaan muna kami sa hangin bridge wherein di ko kinaya ang pag tawid haha.. pagbalik, mas mahirap ang daan kasi puro paakyat na. nagulat ako nang may mga nakasalubong ako na mga bata na parang 6 years old lang na may dalang mga sako, grabe, aga ng lakas pag gawa doon.. at dahil nasa dulo ako ( as usual), nakasabay ko ang bago naming guide, nag kukwento sya na simple lang buhay doon at talagang ang ganda ng paligid nang biglang may narinig kami na nahulog sa di kalayuan.. bumigay pala ang tali ng isang cable na ginagamit sa pag transak ng mga niminina doon. nagulat ako, may minahan na pala sa parteng iyon pero di sakop ng gobyerno.. sabi ni manong, small time lang daw un at restricted lang ang areas nma pwedeng minahin.. ayaw daw nila ipagalaw sa gobyerno ang lugar dahil tiyak lagas ang kabundukan.. sa isip isp ko, di ba , pareho lang din naman ung nagyayari, pinapayagan nila ang private companies na magmina doon well in fact, inaabuso din ang likas na ganda ng bundok, sana di na lang pinayagan at all, di ba??? sadyang mahirap ang buhay doon kaya kailangan pa ng mga ganung alternatibong paraan ng ikabubuhay .... natapos namin ang advernture na un na again, mas lumalim ang pag nanais na protektahan ang mga likas na yaman dito saatin....

After nun, nagsimula na kaming mag empake at magpaalam sa lugar na kumopkop saamin ng ilang araw at naglapit saamin sa kalikasan. hinding hindi ko makakalimutan itong byaheng ito, kasi, sobrang andami kong natutunan sa sarili ko na kaya ko palang gawin ang mga challenges na iyon, pero higit sa lahat, mas namulat ako sa halaga at ganda ng kalikasan... mas inspired ako ngayon na magsumikap at magbyahe locally upang makita ko din ang iba pang tagong yaman dito sa Pinas. Sabi nga, unahin muna nating iappreciate ang Pinas bago ang ibang bansa... Balang araw, babalik ako sa Sagada, gusto ko ulet maramdaman ang kapayapaan ang matinding koneksyon ko sa kalikasan ;-)

Thanks sa aking mga mabubuting kaibigan for this unforgetable trip - Van, Juls, Pearl, Nikki,Vlad and Arnel!! Gonna miss you guys and Mabuhay ang mga survivors ng Sagada ;-)

Appreciating isnt as bad as you think!

2011-06-20T02:22:00.000-07:00

Everyday, I always wake up worrying about tons of paper works and duties to my work. I always frown just imagining the face of my least favorite colleague and heavy stepped towards the bathroom to prepare. I complain for the long walk and busy street of Guadalupe and again, complaining about the long line in the elevator ( there's a line indeed! ) Nevertheless, it makes me feel I'm restless and tired at the end of the day just because I thought that working in an office is quite a talkshit and stress.I am always wondering, ah, I guess, I am not enjoying my life at all!!! which is super duper far from what I used to imagined when I was still studying . Maybe, I just don't want the company?or my seatmate? my boss? my duties? or even my schedule?,.... Then again, I am still saying to myself, you can do it! you can certainly can take it a little longer. ....

Then, I realized, I was totally wrong. I should be thankful for my job since it was the one who is taking a little longer or make "tiis" of my attitude. It was the one who always pardon my misbehavior and was the one who should feel bad for having a misconduct employee like me.

Nothing in this world comes easy. Everything in this life is made up half raw and sometimes, hard core raw. We are given the free will to make decisions and actions, and limitless resources to utilize and to enhance. Why we are complaining in doing little stuffs if at the end of it, we are getting things that are twice the value that we deserved? Mankind is too eccentric in this way. the more we achieved, the more we crave for a bigger one, the more we less appreciate the small ones....... Lets make our minds otherwise. Appreciate more and more of the little things in our surrounding and we can see the difference..- a lot of difference in the way we live. in this way, I think, we can add 100 more laughter a day!!!!!

Starting To Fly!!!

2011-06-19T23:12:00.000-07:00

Hey hay!! i miss my blog site, huhuhu... finally, after taking a lot of effort to put myself all together, I am convinced that I would like to push through with my writing.. haha Starting today, I will Fly!!!! looking forward!!!

I am wondering why people laugh at times when all they want to do is to cry ;-( I guess, this is because we just dont want to saw our true self to anymore. its like lying. when a person lie, it doesn't mean that they are doing it because they are bad, maybe, they are doing it because that someone that was lied to was not that important to that person who is lying to be told the truth. sometimes, it takes a lot of courage before anyone can admit to someone else where we are exactly standing. I dont know what to say but we just want to have our selves trap in the middle without any one to look after us. This is the thing that makes us unique and interesting. trapping and creating our own worlds and set of rules. Hope we can always do that. ;-)

biglang takipsilim

2011-02-07T06:23:00.000-08:00

ang aking sentimiento-
parang noong nakaraang araw lang, nagmumuni ako tungkol sa madaming bagay na walang katotoran. pagod sa trabaho, problemang pilit pa din pinoproblema kahit alang maitutulong ang pag iisip. Ngayon, nandito ako sa isang sulok ng aming munting bahay, simple lang ang lahat ng bagay, tulas ng dati, masaya. ngaun, sa paglalim ng gabi, iniisip ko kung anu nga ba ang mali sa kalagayan ko ngayon, sa isang sulok ng puso ko, parang may nakakapa ako na panganib at agam agam. hindi ko matukoy, at siguro, takot akong matukoy. madalas, lagi kong sinasabi na magiging ayos din ang lahat, pero hindi pala. mahirap harapin ang realidad kung sa sarili mo mismo ay hindi mo maharap ang sumisigaw na katotohanan. WALA NA ang kahapon, at WALA NA ang lahat saakin. hindi sa ayaw kong mawala ang mga ito, alam ko sa sarili ko na tama na wala na saakin ang lahat ng iyon. sa ngayon, siguro natatakot akong isipin na hindi ko nanaman natatanaw ang kinabukasan para saaking pinahahalagahan, pero sana, dumating na ang kasagutan sa lahat ng ito. Saan nanaman ako patungo pagkatapos? hindi ko alam, at parang ayaw ko pa umalis sa kung saan ako nakaupo ngaun, kontento at kahit papano ay masaya. mahirap. mahirap magsimula ulet ng panibagong akda at mahirap gumapang pabalik mula sa pagkakabaksak...... may humawak sana sa aking kamay at itayo ako....sana.sana.sana... puno ng takot at pangamba.

ang aking resolba-
sa kabila ng lahat ng agam agam, kailangan kong bumangon at magsimula. kelangan kong mabulin at pulitin ang nagkapirapirasong ako, at kelangan kong makisama sa madaming pagbabago. sa totoo lang, ayoko ng pagbabago, pero kelangan kong mabuhay sa mundong laging dagsa ng madaming pagbabago. gusto kong maging makasarili, pero hindi maari, kelangan kong itaguyod ang mga pinapahalagahan ko. kelangan kong umaksyon at isaulo ang lahat ng aral sa lahat ng mapait na nangyari. kailangan ko ito at kelangan kong gawin... anu nga ba ang mas mahalaga ngayon? sa totoo lang, lahat ng iniisip ko sa ngayon ay pawang mahahalaga. kailangadn siguro dagdagan ko ang aking sarili upang makita ko ang mga pagkakamali at palawakin ko pa ang aking kakayahan upang maabot ko din ang nasa dulo... panu ang aking simula? hindi ko alam.....

plan and wait

2010-08-30T23:49:00.000-07:00

Out of curiosity, hinanap ko ung last planner ko, 2009. I put there all my goals, plans, things that I want to achieve for that coming year. Totally ideals. And it surprised me to see mmy notes. Hahaha. Almost 90% pala ng mga sinulat ko dun nagkatotoo. Surreal but it DID happened. Naisip ko tuloy ngayon, medyo demotivated ako, and this realization made me think. And thanks God. I did well last year, why not this year , right? Naisip ko, all my problems and stuggles are just a very small part of what I am tomorrow. Kailan lang konting sipag at tiyaga and prayers. I just cant comphrehend ang pagiging kawalang gana ko ngayon sa bagay bagay, but now Im motivated again. If you want to achieve something, you have to make things happen and unfold itself. It makes a difference. Things are changing and so do people. We may want to put ourselves to go with the flow with the effects of these changes but we can also destined the path that we want to have together with these changes. I want to travel along with the wind, carefree, high, spontanious yet happy. I want to explore things thats beyond my prowess and to find my place in this world. How can we know where to stay, if we dont go to various places that we perceived to find our place? The road is farther if we begin to journey in a new path, but who knows, we might discover the shortcuts or enjoyable long cuts along our travel? MAYBE. Hahaha. Maybe is something unguarded and vulnerable, perhaps we can make it much better if we start doing something to find a definite answer. If we fail, we will still gain something.experience and a new self discovery. .. And so to speak, lets keep ourselves inspire and live life to the fullest!!!

I love the silence of this night, it made me think a little rational.haha

everything is fast changing..no way to slow down..

2010-08-11T09:17:00.000-07:00

suddenly, everything is fast changing... it seems like yesterday Im crying and cursing..it feels like im drown in pollution. i can still remember that everytime I have a time, I curse out the wind and praying that I really hope this day will end and dead. But today, it feels different and sad.. I laughed out loud and realized that my yesterdays mistakes are just a small part of what I have and what I am facing today... I cant explain the feeling.. its like I betrayed old self who is in angst and have my self okay today... hayyzzz... empty. but come to think of it, WHO CARES? who cares if your sad and weary yesterday? it doesnt matter anyway!! whats important is today that you laugh.forgive.forget and feel the love again for others. i know my collegues and I come along way and in a hard way but believe me, now, its nothing but the feeling of missing this people and missing the moments that you all shared. again, its a LONG AND NOSTALGIC DAY. I WILL DEFINITELY WILL MISS THEM.

nothing at all

2010-05-05T03:51:00.000-07:00

i feel like im watching a movie. seeing people around me so much inlove.. deeply sadden...leaving out of our lives... and others just stay the way they are. i think im not moving. still life. nothing to do at all.

when ur used to, its hard to let go..

2010-04-23T05:27:00.000-07:00

I must admit now.. its hard for me to let go. I just found out that one of my friend here at work was resigning.. it hit me and at the end, makes me really sad... in the past, i thought it was just a denial, but now, i realized, its more than that. Im such a coward, that cant accept the very reality that people come, and people go out of our lives. its hard to digest that most of the times, we are getting used to have our cherish ones near us, but we cannot used to in lossing them... Thats why, I cant handle goodbyes. I cant bear to do so, to a point that I would be the first one to go away rather than the one left behind. ITS SO SAD. I just wish I can take a gasp on those people, BUT, ITS WAY IMPOSSIBLE. I want to savour the moments.but savouring it would prolong the verdict. I JUST WISH THINGS ARENT CHANGING... HOW I WISH..

90/10

2009-12-08T01:45:00.000-08:00

madalas, malungkot, masaya, tamang manhid, tamang kalma at kung anu anu pang emosyon ang nararamdaman natin sa araw-araw... mas madalas, mas dama natin ang masasakit na emosyon keysa sa mga sandaling okay at masaya tau.. madami akong kakilala at nakaringgan ng kwento na puro kabiguan ang nararanasan at madalas na topic sa mga usapan.. naisip ko lng, bakit kaya ganun?? hindi ba at tau ay nabubuhay at nakikipaglaban sa buhay upang maging masaya at may kabuluhan ang ating mga buhay?? alam ko parang ang komplikado kung ilalagay sya sa isang journal o kahit sa isang papel na may pluma na kulay dugo..pero hindi bat may simple at may rason kung pagninilayan natin mabuti ang ating mga iniisip??? may nagbigay saakin na isang tao ng isang bagong aral, ang tungkol sa 90/10. ang savi dun, 10% ng kabuuan ng mga nangyayari saatin sa pang araw-araw ay controlado natin at ang 90% ay hindi na natin hawak.. ibig sabihin, ang bawat action, pag iisip, at pagsasalita natin at ang nagiging outcome ng lahat ng itoh ay base kung panu tau magrereact sa 90% hindi nating controladong sitwasyon ng buhay natin... ang hirap nun pero its a matter of thingkin.. halimbawa, kung may isang simpleng di pag kakaunawaan sa isang katrabaho.. kung aaksyon ka at papairalin mu ang sarcasm at pride, malamang mauwi lng sa alitan at ang resulta, isang di productibong araw at bigat sa kalooban.. pero kung babalikan mu xa, panu kung nag isip ka ng rational at inunawa at ngbigay ka?? malamang naauz ang alitan at nakagawa kau ng maauz na proyekto... madalas, ang malalaking alitan ay nagmumula sa mga mabababaw na pangyayari na lumalaki lamang... ang 90/10, madali lng xa kung babasahin, pero malaki ang magiging pagbabago sa takbo ng pag handle mu ng sitwasyon kung susuriin at iaaply mu xa... hahahaha dati dati, ang moody ko, ngaun medyo nabawasan dhil sa principyong itoh.. sana sainyo din mai-apply nyo din... kasi naisip ko lng, ang mga unexpected na mga pangyayari na dumadating saatin ay parang isang exercise na humuhulma sa ating pagkatao, pag iisip at damdamin... pinapakain natin ang ating pagkatao ng mga positive at negative energies na gnagamit natin sa pagbuo ng ating buhay.. kaya magsimula ang isang umaga natin sa ratio 90/10.

ang tagal ko nang di nagsulat dito wah! hahaha

Falter again

2009-05-15T00:30:00.000-07:00

Hating the fact that your all alone.... we shivers from within. sometimes, we dont know the reason but stil our essence falter. I dont know what might happened on the next few days but I need to be recharge. Few months ago, I am on a very positive perspective until now, my ideals are diminiscin... I dont want to feel empty but once in a while, I am tired of filling my self with unfelt perceptions. Sometimes, we have to be alone to understand our own ghost that halowed our very light..... I miss my friends, I miss all the funny things that makes me smile a lot. I guess I cannot really turn back the hands of time. I think I need to do is to peek on the unseen future and face it bravely and wholeheartedly... Hmm.. I felt so tired right now.. Tired for the uncertainties that might come along my way. I wish I am still back at the four corners of my dear alma matter, where all dreams are ideals and where I used to dream beyond the box. I wish..how I really wish....

i just finished reading ( at last!) the last book of my beloved harry potter series....
honestly, i never expect that i can read that since i was just planning to save ( omg! i knew its super impossible!) money for me to buy at least a second hand of it...but thanks to my boss who had a lot of ebooks ( haha he gave all the books ive long to reaD!) my longing for the seventh book comes into quench... first, ive got frustrated bcoz one of my classmate in high school gave me a ms word formated 7th book which, very very much disappointing coz its a fake one!! amp... ive hardly finished the 500 plus pages of that stupid book when as my reading progress, it seems so different to what my fren told me the book is all about... and so when i finished reading it, it makes me so furious to end up wasting plenty of time plus electricity ( reading it on a computer!). well, stepping aside all the anguished and hurdles, ive finally take hold of the true book...

hayzz.... nakakalungkot. over the years ive been looking forward in waiting and wanting to read harry potter and engulf its magical world.. jk rowling is right... the ending that she had given to it is the best ending we could all ask for... seeing the line between love and death... just like all the books that ive read... there are many chapters that made me cry and so it is... i feel like reading harry potter book is my sanctuary of my childish personality...dreamer yet ambitious, full of love and afraid to be hurt and further..to die... it always gave me a new dimension where i can be a harry potter finding all my weaknesses and try hard to be brave to face it and cure it... as everything goes out naturally, and everything always have an ending... well, everything that i have left within the four walls of hogwarts, all my dreams and imaginations that drives and have casted those forbidden curse and all the things ive learned and confide as ive grow together with the witches and wizards... i laud and thank harry potter series and jk.... you have no idea how much this sage had influence me through and through.... it made me wiser and good.

...hala.parang ako ang sumulat ng book sa mga wordings ko..hehehe...wah.. sad thing... how i wish at the upcoming time i will be able to have the 7 book collection of it and have a whole week worry free time just reading it from the start until the end...hehehe... what a dream but i know it will happen..just like hogwarts..unimagined.../

look at the medal... not the logo

ok... this is one of my "serious" posts...
hehehe...

as i told you... i won 3rd place from the university impromptu speaking competition from PUP...

i never expected a medal... honestly.

the first time i saw the medal, it made me think... is this achievement important?!? im just from PUP...
i felt like the medal had no weight because of the logo imbeded on it.

then i realized... i'm not the only one experiencing this problem... a lot of students from PUP dont like PUP at all... they're just there because its the school with the lowest tuition fee.
and everybody knows the fact that i NEVER wanted to study in PUP. i was practically forced, because of financial constraints.

everywhere you go...
whoever you ask...
PUP is known as a cheap school with dirty sudents, corrupt faculty and is a haven for activists...
I dont like this fact.
it just makes me want to leave PUP.

the latest issue of The Catalyst(PUP's school paper) even has an article about this...

this story is from www.thecatalystph.info

Unzipped
S.K.U.L. Acronyms
By Eira M. Hassim

Tanda ko pa ang araw na iyon. Kagagaling ko lang noon ng Mendiola at nakasakay ako sa isang dyip papuntang Cubao. Nagmamadali kasi ako dahil defense pa naman namin nun sa Ad subject namin. May nakasabay akong dalawang kapwa ko estudyante na “ sosyalan” ang dating kung poise and bearing lang din ang labanan. Sila si Ate Rebond hair at si Ate Brace Teeth. Si Ate Rebond Hair ay nakapang-nursing uniform with its pink skul logo while si Ate Brace Teeth naman ay mapagkakamalan mong puno dahil sa berdeng berde nyang uniporme.

Dumukot ako ng barya sabay sabing, “manong bayad po, dyan lang po sa tapat ng Jollibee Fernandos, estudyante po.” Aba! Tama ba namang lingunin ako ng mga sosyalerang ito! But anyways, hindi ko sila pinansin dahil baka nagkataon lang ang paglingon nila.

Maya-maya, nagulat ako ng kausapin ako ni Ate Brace Teeth at tinanong, “Ah, excuse me, from where school are you?” Nagulat ako at namangha. Ngunit saglit lamang iyon at sinagot siya ng “PUP Sta. Mesa!” Ang dalawang bruha, bumirit ng tawa. “PUP, so your studying pala sa Paaralan ng mga Ulila’t Pulubi.” Ang mga kasamahan naming pasahero ay nakitawa na rin! Ang sama ng mga bruha. Aba, nilalait nila ang aking sintang paaralan. Ayos lang sana kung pagkatao o itsura ko na lang ang nilalait ng mga ito, matatanggap ko pa. Ngunit gayong ang aking pandayan ng karunungan na nilalait nila, hindi ko ata yun mapapayagan. Hindi ba nila alam na ang nilalait nilang paaralan ay hindi hamak namang may kwenta kaysa sa kanila kung kalibre lang din ng edukasyon ang pinag-uusapan.

Wag nilang ipagmalaki ang de-aircon nilang mga classroom dahil kung lamig lang din ang pag-uusap, mas malamig namang di hamak ang west wing ng PUP, hayun nga lang, paminsan may kasama pang ulan. Alin pa ba ang ipagmamalaki nila? Alin, yung school reputation nila? Alin dun? ‘Ung bang kaunting examination passers nila? O yung sinasabi nilang easy to find job ‘coz school background matters?

Well, reality hits company nowadays. Ang kakayahan ng tao ang mas matimbang kaysa kung saang eskwelahan ka galing. Mas mahalaga ang may utak at may karanasan kaysa walang muwang sa mundo. Hehehe. Hindi survivor type ika nga! Ang pinagkaibahan nga lang talaga ay ang tuition fee. Mas naaawa nga ako sa kanila dahil ang laki ng tuition nila pero hindi naman worth it. Sabi nga ng isa kong kaibigan, ang dali daw makakuha ng flat 1 sa kanila (galing siya sa school ni Ate Brace Teeth) ang sabi ko naman, siyempre, yung finals kasi nyo, eh quiz lang namin.Bigla akong bumalik sa realidad. Kinalabit ko si Ate Rebond Hair at tinanong “from what school ba kayo ate?” Ngumisi siya sabay turo sa school logo sa damit niya, pagmamalaki nya pa. “Ah, sa Cash Earned University pala kayo galing. Sabi ko na nga ba, kaya pala Cupas ang Estayl ng Uniporme nyo. Sana baguhin yang uniporme nyo pati na rin ung Cupas na Establishment ng University nyo.” Natameme si Ate Rebond Hair at binalingan ko naman si Ate Brace Teeth, “Ah, ikaw ate, alam ko kung saang school ka. Sa Fast Earned University ‘no? Alam mo ate maganda talaga dyan sa school nyo, ang dali daw kumita pati mga estudyante, basta sakay ka lang sa mga car na naka-park sa labas ng school ninyo, kikita ka na!”

Parang napipi ang namumulang mga sosyalera. Namamangha namang nakatitig sa akin ang mga pasaherong kanina lamang ay tumatawa sa pang-iinsulto ng dalawa. Aba! Ang isang PUPian ay hindi nagsusumikap mag-aral para lamang hamakin ng kung sinong nagmamagaling. Dahil, kayang-kaya naming makipagsabayan sa kahit na kanino. “At sya nga pala mga ate,” baling ko pa sa dalawa. “Luma na po yung Paaralan ng mga Ulilat Pulibi, may bago na po ngayon. PUP stands for Philippines Ultimate Pride bearer, sabay sabing “MANONG, PARA!”

the writer is a 2nd year student taking up Bachelor in Advertising and Public Relations.

the story REALLY made me think...
if i wasnt in PUP, would i have had the same reaction as these 2 girls? would i be disgusted with PUPians?
i think...

i can actually relate to the situation of the PUP student in the story...
i have friends who are students of the schools who laughed at the PUP student. but i know they wont do that to me. (or would they?)

when i meet people from high school, i still cant say my school proudly. if they ask me... "jan, san ka na ba nag-aaral?" i cant seem to utter the 3 deadly letters "PUP", i just show them my ID. and as i watch their reactions...
some go like this...
"oh my god! ano nang nangyari sayo? ok ka lang ba?"
there's more...
"ahhhhhhh... ohhh keeeeei..."

but because of these situations... i became more objective rather than looking at things in a superficial way.
as the title of my post says... "look at the medal... not the logo"... it simply implies that we need to look at the person's achievements and not just where he/she came from.

now i realize... even though i REALLY dont like PUP...
PUP changed me.
for the better.

pahabol na komento: sna since ilang taon na ang nakalipas, naway natanggap na nya ng lubusan ang PUP hehe

cowerdice or not-so-sensible act

Aug 8, '08 10:23 PM
for everyone

I always analyzed my thoughts every now and then...Im having a hard time to justify things coz they are either complicated in nature or its just me dat terrifies them.... Sometimes, or rather most of the times, I oblige my self to believe that my decisions are right and valid..you know, that sort of mindset that if im going to chose a decision, i will be very into it and have the dignity to accept the consequences.... I am always like that in my entire life... Well, dats me being selfish, isnt it? hahaha eventually, wen i go and scrutinize things, ive realized that everytime i was thinking of things will work in order, the more they are hard to be figured out... right... i was dwell in the fact that everytime i was thinking, i might say, i was overflown with different thoughts and Im lost in the middle of it.. sometimes, i cant think what im supposed to think or say... they just end up being rubbish and nonesense at all.... funny thing is everytime that we tried to formulate our reasonings to the choses that we will make, our minds will just flood with uncertainty and hard acceptance of truth..the naked truth about our decisions.... most of us, are afraid of this fact. we tell ourselves we are ready for the result of our actions, but the truth is... even in our selves, we are afraid to think of whats going to be the true result of it....this is why we end up lost in our seas of thought and left it the way it is on our minds... noit organized, untidy and full of hesitations.... the sad truth is that sometimes, its the result in action that happened first before we can finally put together our thoughts..... you know why it is? its because like what i said, we cant bear to imagine the true result of it and just waited for that real thing to happen.... um, not so sure if its cowardice or just a simple not-so-sensible act...☺☻☺☻

for everyone

Falling outside my window..Im listening to the singsong against the rain of my sad memoirs...
Dwindle in the vast landscape of my seas...I am pulling myself to be drivel.....
I dont know why Im shamble towards the path I perceived I might walk through...
Its just that I am following the shadow of my shadow....
I can feel myself drifting in the darkest water in my innermost lake...
And I cant see a weed to hold on to....

Now...as the lighning strikes it sheds some light towards me.....

Slowly... I need to absorb it in my system....

Faith, whether its for real or reel, nevertheless, it doesnt matter anymore...
I realized that the library of books nor having a hundred experiences is not a jury of yourself..
You might be trap in the idea of having its platform to your dignity or principles...
But sooner or later.. you might have the agony of being confused...
Its deliberately superficial..injustice, you can feel the mediocre of your mirrors...

I guess.. I have to live my everyday into its everyday....
Do things in the way it should be done...
To fit in the right fit where everybody else fits...
Smile when everyone around you is smiling...
And to be drastic as of things are getting drastic...
Is this what I am supposed to be?
My ideals are getting thinner but I know Im not loosing it....
Its stil here, but the reality is eating it slowly....

I feel bad... terribly bad about what the time is giving me....
I am learning and growing....but I am getting far from myself....
The underlying will for my imaginary trails is begging for prowess....
And I cant do anything about it....I have to let things be...for now....
But I wont be enough until I can found where to start my path...

Maybe tomorrow..next year... perhaps in the upcoming longer years...
Come what may.. Ill keeping it alive....

Coz there are things you cant easily forget....
This is what you called DREAMS....

bakit nga ba mahirap kalimutan ang nakaraan?
8:05pm
nanunuod ako ng bleach sa youtube, at dhil matagal mgdownload, naisipan kong magbasa....nakita ko ang isang pamilyar na lintana ng mga salita sa isang mayumi at kahanga hangang pahina sa likod ng www.kaibigan.com.... haha nakakatuwa, ngaun ko lng ulit nabasa ang mga pahina na un.. at tulad ng dati, patuloy akong humahanga sa ganda nito at galing ng manunulat.... naisip ko, sobrang galing talaga ng gumawa nitoh, at nasasabik na akong muling magsanga ang landas namin tungo sa propesyong maghawangis kami.... haha un na siguro ang pinakamagandang bagay, sa ngaun, na nagdadala ng ngiti sa magulo kong buhay..ang pagdating ng araw na iyon..... binasa ko mabuti ang mga salitang nakasulat...sobra.ang husay talaga nyang gumawa, para bang ang mga letra at pagkakahabi ng mga kataga ay isang sinaunang panorama na nagtatago sa bawat sulok ng komikong mga salita...sa mga oras na toh.... bumalik sa aking balintanaw ang isang lumang pangarap at nagapos na pag ibig sa pagsusulat.... sa tingin ko, itoh ang araw na nagbigay ulit ng liwanag sa isang pumanglaw na bahagi ng aking buhay.... naisip ko, siguro nga, may mga pangarap na mahirap itapon na lng bigla sa bintana.... at natutuwa ako at nang itinapon ko ang bahaging iyon ay hindi itoh napulot na ibang tao sa tapat ng aking bintana.... nagpapasalamat ako sa taong iyon.lagi na lang nyang naitutuwid ang landas ko, khit di nya alam...hehe siguro nga, xa ang liwanag na tatanglaw sa daan ko.... salamat....hay.... mukhang nahihilig na kong magsulat sa tagalog ah? haha ok din pala toh kung minsan....hehe

--------------natapos ang paghahabi ng sulat natoh na sinumulan sa isang matamis na ngiti at natapos sa isang mas matamis na ngiti---------------------

si mama saaking likuran at harapan

Jun 6, '08 10:08 AM
for everyone

kwento ng isang batang binaybay ang kahabaan ng divisoria kasama ang kanyang ina....

hawak ng ina ang kamay ng anak habang tagaktak ang pawis na nilalakad ang kahabaan ng divisoria upang marating ang dulong bahagi upang magpunta sa bahay ng isang kamag anak... siksikan, at ang mga tindera at mamimili ay parang mga langgam na nakikipag unahan sa tila may hinahabol na panahon.... nagpupumiglas ang kamay ng bata, sinisikap na alisin ang mahigpit na pagkakahawak sa palapulsuan niya ng kanyang ina...

ang kanyang ina, abala sa paglinga kung saan pwedeng lumusot sa kapal ng mga tao, mabilis ang mga hakbang at yakad ang kamay ng anak..

anak: mama, saan po ba tau pupunta? bakit tau nasa gitna ng kalsada, baka po masagaan tau ng sasakyan?

ina: anak, kung dun tau sa gilid dadaan, maiipit tau lalo sa kapal ng mga tao, at dito naman sa gitna ay ligtas naman dahil sa dami ng mga paninda sa gitna ng kalsada, hindi uusad ang mga sasakyan dito, magtiwala ka lng, mas madali ang landas na toh...

pinilit ng anak na sumunod sa paglakad ng ina, hanngang marating nila ang unahan kalyeng lilikuan nila....

sa pagkakataong itoh, binitiwan ng ina ang kamay ng anak at hinayaang mauna sa paglalakad ang anak... tahimik lamang ang ina habng hinahayaang ang anak ang manguna sa paglusot sa mga eskinita.... ang anak naman sa kabilang banda ay lihim na nayamot sa ina.... naisip nya bakit kaninang alam niya ang kanyang dadaanan at patutunguhan ay pinangunahan siya ng kanyang ina ngayong di nya tiyak ang direksyon ng pupuntahan nya ay tsaka sya pinabayaan ng ina at walang imik na sinusundan lng ang landas na tinatahak nya......sa puntong hindi na nya alam kung saan lulusot sa daanang di pamilyar, hinawakan ulet ng ina ang kamay ng anak at inakay siya patungo sa direksyong pupuntahan nila........

sa daan pauwi, di napighilan ng anak na tanungin ang ina kung bakit sya nitong hinayaang hanapin ang direksyon nila kanina...ang savi ng ina....

ina: inakay kita sa landas na kinuha mu kanina at ipinakita ko sau na sa pinili mo ay mas magandang parte pa kung saan mas mapapabuti ka, at hinahayaan kita na ikaw ang humanap ng direksyon kanina dahil gusto kong mula sa payo ko ay matuto kang maghanap ng sarili mong daan...

ito ang tatandaan mo anak, kapag ako ay nasa harapan mo, dadalhin kita sa landas na sa tingin ko ay mas mapapabuti ka...pawang sa ikakabuti mo ang lahat ng ginagawa ko, andito ako upang magpayo at magsilbing taga handa mo sa mundong dadaanan mo....

at sa tuwing nasa likuran mo lng ako, binabantayan ko ang mga hakbang mo na malaya mong pinipili sa buhay.... maligaw ka man sa paghahanap mo, nandito ako sa likuran mo para akayin ka pabaliksa tama.....

sa harap man o sa likod ng buhay mo, laging kabutihan mo lng ang nsa puso ko anak....iyon lamang....

------ pagmumuni ng isang anak sa piling ng isang daing na isda sa eskinita ng moriones tondo-------

-------tanda ko pa ang dyip na palayo sa likuran ng naglalakad kong ina--------

wounded.... i dont have to say anything.....

hurting someone is a hundred times torture to urself.....

i guess, in every action, we received what we truly deserved to have.....

i chose the path i am hurting, and so tormented i would be happy...

i choose to break a heart, and i know i will never be happy in that....

im blinded, i cant grasp out of this darkness.... many hand reaches over but i chose to stay in this corner, martry imnot one, its just dat, something is holding me back.......

i know no one can understand me,nor my decision, and i dont beg for it.because i never beg for the things that myself cant beg in me.....

dis is like a felony, embezzlement in the moments i MUST be likely to be happy....

taking all ofthis, i cant reach anything beyond my prowess....

haha dis blog is a junk... but i know behind the bricks lies the foam bewildered......

and like any realization,...

and for the past 4 years im like these....none of itchanges me..

the way i feel..the way i want it......how long is my sobber? it doesnt matter anymore....

even the worlds conspired against me, i will stil chose to do this decision...

there are regrets, but never a second thought to back out......

coz the moment i saw that special moment again....imlost again....

..............

I guess the sakura falls on this cold winter.... I don't know how long will it take for my leaves to fall, i guess I can only knew if my last leaf is dying...... but, i need to continue.... i guess and i am hoping... when this winter's end, I will bloom...and this time it will be summer...... but again.... if its only during winter that i will rest assured I'll be happy and alive.... then perhaps I can hold a little more for my last leaf....passing the summer.... until im back on my winter....

facade breaks

2008-04-04T00:57:00.000-07:00

um... i think this is the point of my life which i can say ive know my true frens... right, im fighting a very difficult battle today... a battle in which ive known that someday will come my way......i know i made a big mistake. and im suffering from it now... and i know now that in every single thing that you do,there is a consequence you need to face,.. it might hurt you badly but still you have to face it. yes, just FACE IT. and be brave enough to admit ur mistakes. sometimes doing it makes the whole thing a lot easier. and by facing it, you just have to be strong.... its okay to admit mistakes if after that, your going to do something about it to make it right. yes, thats right. the efforts you will do makes the payment for what you had done wrong......
i guess the bottom line here is that ive learned my hardest lesson in the most hardest way... and i dont regret in everything that happened;. coz i know, i cannot turned back the hands of time neither cant do anything to change the things already taken place.... what matters now is that im learning something from it. and it makes me stronger than before.from everything... i guess its all that matters now. and i guess, the only sad part of this, ive lost some frends that i thought i would be able to have for life...........
sometimes, its better to build a friendship with a stronger foundation that counting its strenght with the span of time you have build it......

god is so good all the time!

2008-02-17T01:20:00.000-08:00

hayz, this is one of the happiest moment in my life!! ive got my job back!! haha balik work na ko!! hay, sarap sa pakiramdam.. as in!!! never kong iexpect that it will bve this good!! as in!! im so happy and im so blessed that im having it back.... god never left me alone... in the darkest part of my life, i thought im going to loose faith but i hold on and its all worth it... all the things around are having bright colors again.. and im so happy in all of those... im givenagain a previledge to straighten things, i will make it worthy... salamat tlga.. god is so good!! lessons id learn, you just have to face bravely all the things that will come ur way, it might be worst or good but the thing is that u savor each moment and got the difference between beiong a looser or a winner... so that if anything comes up even worst, you can be strong and eventually tried to be a better person all over again.... hayzzzz, im learning a lot, though in a rough way, but stil i manage to survive and keep my very smile.... thats great... it makes all my wonder to be extra wonderful.....

sarap ng feeling, im back once again, even better and laudable......

get it till ul close

2007-11-23T04:21:00.000-08:00

well,, its a shame that sometimes, we misjudge someone whom we thought is just the way we percept them to be.... i realize, it was wrong. we can never said we knew someone in just the several instances that we had them close... it is only we can know them very well if we just a hair strands close to them... thats right.. get them till they are really close to you...until then, its the only time can only tell......

blaze to the things you aim for..

2007-11-05T10:29:00.000-08:00

it is sometimes ok to make as dealth with the things we cant control to have or the dilemna that is beyond our controls. we can emersed from all the vendence but we cant stop the pulse of this tiny black sharp pain that the soul is snitting.. we sometimes cant have the courage to face the sad reality and that makes us in the more troublesome floss which leads us to sufferings and hatred.. well, we just haved to open up and give some way... yes, give some way into the drowning breathe of hope and encouragement that our souls desires for the positive views we oathe to our lives.. yes, life has been so kind to us, and yet, we are too blind to see its darkness..... how long can we see its lights which always guild us in those times that wethought we just loosing it???? i think that was just a simple manifestation of ones being blind.....

live unlike before

2007-10-22T00:28:00.000-07:00

wow,many things are never shed to turn us down, we are sometimes mislead and overacted by this burdens but they are never intended to push us to be weak. instead they are our blessings in disguise who wants us to be innovative and to be stronger than ourselves before... we might be weak to face it at a point but surely we would end up overcoming it and eventually saw its worth to laud our selves... yes, we can manage every storms, bcoz each storms always ends with a rainbow, its just we are who conclude wheather we like to see its end with bowl of gold or just its reflextion gone to flee.....

loneliness sometimes does make sense..

2007-10-08T19:06:00.000-07:00

medyo kadepress ngaun.. haha.. im back on my usual lonely self.. tama, i thought evntuallly i wud be happi around my frens" i thought", but, hay, cguro, its just it... u might find comfort through them, but once in a while u will find these this certain gap that wud cling between your very self and your connection to them.. nakakaparanoid, uu, pero what can i do,sobrang clueless... they might adore you today, but the next 12 hours, they wud hate or disgust you.. its a matter of saying you dont done enough for them, thats a big no!! its jut that, youve done your part for them, but eventually they might not be as true as you perceive they should be...now wats left in your pathetic self? nothing.its just your lonely self and you.standing alone in the field you thought you wud not be alone... crap...why bother, if they are not worthy, why gave a split second beckoning them????

paulit na di pagbabago

2007-09-18T04:38:00.000-07:00

hay naku, nakakasawa na ang walang humpay na walang pagbabago. ang pagpapabababa ng pride isinuko na, for the sake ng pagkakaisa, but i guess, nothing would make this enough... tama, this is the circle we cannot outstand no matter how much we would try... tama, alang kwenta ang bawat pagpapatianod at pagpapaubaya kung ang mga taong gusto mong makasundo ay xa mismong gumuguho ng magkabilang dulo ng tulay na sana ay nagtatawid nitong di pagkakasundo.;.. nakaklungkot, di ko ata masisilayan ang mga ngiti na tunay sa nalalapit na tagsibol ng paghihiwalay.. nakakalungkot..walang gustong umako ng pagkatalo, bakit ba nagmamataas, kung pareho lamang ang nilalakaran nating daan?? bakit kailangang tumingala kung pareho lamang natin tinutungtungan ang silya ng pangarap.. nakakalungkot.bigo ako.bigo ikaw.nakikita mu ba ang pagkakaiba?at ang mas pagkakatulad nating lahat? marahil oo,tanga lang tayo.bingi at bulag, walang kwenta.. sana lang, bumagsak ang silyang kumakalong sating lahat, ng maranasan nating lahat na bumagsak. tama, bumagsak man sa lupa ngunit samasamang luluhod dito at di magtatagal ay sabay sabay ding tatayo.. sana lang may makinig ditoh.. baka nakalimutan na ang ngiti na unang nagsabing, tayo ay magkakaibigan at iisa...

hay, paalam na alaala ng bawat walang kwentang kabanata ng mundo kong itoh. ituturing ko na lnag itong multo ng kahapon tutal wala akong nakikitang totoo..magpahanggang ngayon--....1n

the verdict starts when u feel like ur having one..

2007-09-12T08:38:00.000-07:00

wushoo....this must be a very happy day, almost all of the people around me are merely on their red flags!!! haha lahat panik sa dami ng schoolworks and extra curricular activities...hehe ansaya!!! ang init ng mga ulo ng mga tao!! well, u might think why i stil feel happy wen its already a catastrophe, right?? well, am,...to tell you the truth, it made me feel i was on the reality of everything... hehe..everything seems to make sense, nakita kong nakakunot ang prominenteng nuo ni ***, nakasimangot ang mukha ni bakekang, at nakitang namumuroblema si bus.. hehe and sama ko talaga. pero, it does make me somehow realize that everything is now done with passion.tama.lahat is trying to put all their efforts to be a help. um, its gud to know dat despite the agony between certain floss, we all managed to deal with it. its quite peculiar but it was actually happening. i wud actually missed this after graduation. ..hehe...go lng!!

um, well, medyo malungkot xe may isa akong katropa na medyo depress..hay, naku, wag mo nang itanong kung bakit xa nagkaganun bsta related itoh dun sa ikunukwento ko knina... haha... kaya nga napagisip ako..''how can u say dat this particular situation is a verdict??''... am, naku, sa pagkakatanda ko, verdict- a problem,conflict,issues dat are troublesome... um, so if dats the case, it means everysingle situation in our lives are verdict...read between the definiton, it says dat its troublesome.. um, eh araw araw nman may direction,rules taung cnusunod at cnusunod. so, ibig savihin, nasa gulo tau sa bawat gnagawa natin... aww... nalito nnman ba keo sa cnasavi ko?? isipin mu, gayong lahat pala ng problema ay ganun, at kung ang every single thing na gnagawa natin ay verdict, bakit tau natatakot harapin ang sa akala natin ay malaking verdict?? hehe isipin mu, pareho lng silang verdict, anumang level, dhil sa ang totoo, ala naman sukatan ang verdict. tama. a verdict is big wen one considers it as a big one. its small wen u think it was nothing and not damaging... the verdict starts wen one actually feels and considers it as one solid verdict...think again, maybe many of our verdicts are just a whole and solid imagination dat frightens us.right.tama.its on the way u handle things, and how u deal with it. weh u feel ur having the biggest verdict in ur path, just think of this, if u have created a verdict in ur thought, u can definetly can create a solution in dat..simple lang, petix lng, wag kang mag isip ng masyadong seryoso, ok?? hehe it helps a lot, afterall, magiging maayos din ang lahat!!!!

The Bus that NEVER Sleeps

2007-08-07T04:26:00.000-07:00

10:45pm saturday.. im totally perspiring when i managed to sit in the middle part of the bus. yes, i hate this part of my trip to home, because i need to walk a little farther in the polluted street in Cubao just to catch up for the last trip of this provincial bus. well, im a bit anxious because aside from the fact that this bus is so ditry, smells like a wet market, and not to mention the greasy skin of the passengers( mostly laborer), this bus would not directly going to my town. so i stil need to ride a tricycle from its last stop. hope inconvienient for me..hay..awww... well, i dont have a choice, its what it is...

10:55pm sat..yehey, after the burden of the global warming inside the bus, the dispatcher decides to dispatch the bus for the trip... yes, it smells and feels good to breath the air outside the window, good thing its an ordinary bus, so the windows are totally open. yes, feels a little comfortable now,..um, but something here is not right.. i dont know, i have this feeling that something is wrong... i looked around the bus, since im sitting at the middle part of the bus, i have the access to look at both rear and front. um, the bus is the usual bus, nothing in peculiar. the driver and the conductor is wearing their green uniforms and doing their duty. at the front, u can see a small Sto.Nino which serves as a guide for our trip( i guess). and together with the prints that read as the name of the driver, conductor and ofcors the bus number. 0923-thats the bus number ive read, haha what a coincedence, it got my birthdate.! oh, its totally the usual. so, i still look around the bus.. um, all i can see is the man a seat before me at the opposite side which is i think looks like a gangster ( hehe) and a woman almost half lying in the seat because shes asleep, all of the people inside the bus is ordinary. um, i think its me thats feeling weird because im the one who is not comfortable at that moment...

11:45pm sat.. i can feel my saliva is near to drop out of my mouth, and so my hand wipe it involuntarily(yuck!) together with the realization that i fell asleep during the trip. cursing myself for such a bad habit, i looked out in the window. grasp due to surprise, its a total darkness that fronts my eyesight! why is that i cant see even a single house nor light of a post outside? i looked at my watch, and in my calculation, i must be seeing some houses here at this moment because we are supposed to be near the town. shssshsshhs...shshshshshssss....that hits!! the bus is running so fast!! i just notice it just right now!! (i think dats why i woke up) and its making a zigzag on the road... now my alarm is ringing.. what if we bump into the incoming vehicles? what if we are all going to bump and flew away in the road?? i cant bear it!! im stil young (and beautiful) to die at this point!! i called the attention of the driver and the conductor, i told them that they should slow down or else we are all gonna die!! but, alas!! they are not listening to me!! whats going on?? im getting tense. are they deaf or they just want to take suicides with us? oh no!! this cant be!! i looked for the other passengers, hoping they would join in my protest, but, to my dismay, the people there are not moving, even taking a glance with my shouting and panicking voice!! whats going on!? im getting nervous, something here is not right!! its still dark outside, no lights just the light coming from the bus itself. i need to know whats happening, so i start to call the attention of the man sitting before me in the opposite side( he is the nearest people from me). thank God he managed to hear me and take a glimpse of me. freaking wind touches my back when i saw his face, hes staring at me with those cold eyes, purple like lips, and with faucet-like blood thats running on his forehead...!!!!! ahh!!!!!!!! this man is bleeding!! wat happened?? his injured??? when?? how he managed to travel all along without anyone noticing????? no!! his not injured at all!!! his more that....his more....look like.. a dead person!!!!!..."dont be afraid...this trip wont take long.. anytime from now, this bus would be crash into a big tree ahead...it would loose its brakes and all of the people inside this bus would DIE!!!", i heard the man told me, i cant breath, i cant believe this is happening...!!!!!! " u would be joining us from now on, you would be a part of our disaster, you should be with us afterall!!!!!" said the man that torment me like madness. then i looked around, suddenly, all of the passenger there changed.. all are with bloody faces and are looking at me like death!!! no!! i must be dreaming!! i must be still dreaming!!!! imy eyes found the front part of the bus, its number, it cant be!! its 0922!! but its not the bus number i remember it was!!! im hopeless!! the bus is still running so fast like a formula drive racer, its racing towards death!! i cant have the courage to move my body, im shaking, numb and dealth.!! someone must help me, someone please hold me and pulled me out of this nightmare... someone...but no one chase this bus to save me... im loosing my grip to survive... i cant die like this... then there i remember my mom, my brother, my friends, my life....... tears fall in my eyes, and then i glance at the Sto. Nino in the front... yes, there is this someone who could save me,... I should not loose hope, not now, i must be strong.. i must hold to the faith i have in Him.... and just like clearing a soated water, i slowly close my eyes, uttered a self prayer, and devote my faith in Him..... i dont want this conversation with Him to last, and i dont know long i stay in that position..im loosing my concoiusness...

and slowly, i managed to open my eyes..... and like a shot in a camera, it all flashed and vanished right in my very eyes!!!! still tensed, i looked around, the man with the purple lips is gone, the bus is not moving that fast, and the people around me are already chatting... in short, the bus is back to normal.... relieve but still im puzzled if what just happened is true or not, ( i think its true, i have my hands still shaking).....

12:05am sunday.. im a bit relaxed, im getting nearer in the town. after analyzing things, i realized that the route the bus took is the area wherein at both sides are ricefields and with large trees at both sides. this place is known to be an accident prone area because lots of vehicles are just having an accident without a cause... in that thought, i said to myself that maybe those people are those who had their accidents here...Stoppppppppp..... the bus started to slow down... people sitting in the front are looking for something infront of the bus..... there is a traffic and there are many people chatting outside. since the bus cant pass by because of the hindrances, i( together with the co-passengers) step out of the bus to look whats happening...

the first sceen i saw, there is a Bus, same Bus as ours, lying there, totally damaged!!! there are policemen and medical people gathered around the bus and helping lifeless people to be out in the bus....tragic...very tragic...it makes me shiver....ive heard from someone there that the bus had its accident around 30 minutes ago... and they said that no one survived.. a witness said that it just bump in a big tree there, no cause at all... he heard women and child crying for help.... and then, just the same feeling as i felt in the bus awhile ago, a shuttered wind touches my back.... i looked back in thedamaged bus, and to get my heart outside, its bus number 0922!!!! wsshhh...wshhhh.... i felt numb, so thats not adream after all...!!!!! i cant bear this anymore so i run back to my bus to get away from that place,... but, just when i had my foot climbed back into the bus, someone grab my arm. its cold and it makes my hair to raise!!! i slowly turn back... its the man with the purple lips!!!!!!!! he said.." you should be with us if you just arrived 5 minutes earlier in the terminal!! you should be in 0922 not 0923!! you should be one of us... you cant live while we are suffering here!!!! you cant run away to your death!!!", and without a blink, i gathered all my strenght and pulled my arms and fastly climbed in the bus...now i remember, i should be in that bus only if i didnt tie my shoelace in my way to the terminal..... i dont know how i end up leaving that place.. but i continue to pray until the bus leave that place... i didnt looked back, nor did i dare to open my eyes. im afraid when i would open my eyes, it would bring me again to the portal of the nightmare in the bus........i wont managed to deal again with the dead, nor to have courage to asked them why they want me to be with them???... u help me think, why they want to???.... ....

SKUL ACRONYMS

2007-07-11T05:03:00.000-07:00

SKUL ACRONYMS
(Unzipped Column, The Catalyst, Sept 2005)

Tanda ko pa ang araw na iyon. Kagagaling ko lang noon ng Mendiola at nakasakay ako sa isang dyip papuntang Cubao. Nagmamadali kasi ako dahil defense pa naman namin nun sa Ad subject naming. May nakasabay akong dalawang kapwa ko estudyante na “ sosyalan” ang dating kung “ poise and bearing” lang din ang labanan. Sila si Ate Rebond hair at si Ate Brace Teeth..Si Ate Rebond Hair ay nakapang-nursing uniform with its pink skul logo while si Ate Brace Teeth naman ay mapagkakamalan mong puno dahil sa berdeng berde nyang uniporme.
Dumukot ako ng barya sabay sabing, “ manong bayad po, dyan lang pos a tapat ng Jollibee Fernandos, student po”. Aba! Tama ba namang lingunin ako ng mga sosyalerang ito! But anyways, hindi ko sila pinansin dahil baka nagkataon lang ang paglingon nila.
Maya maya, nagulat ako ng kausapin ako ni Ate Brace Teethat tinanong, “ ah, excuse me, from where skul are you?” nagulat ako at namangha. Ngunit saglit lamang iyon at sinagot siya ng “ PUP Sta. Mesa” ha! Ang dalawang bruha, bumirit ng tawa. “ ah, PUP, so your studying pala sa Paaralan ng mga Ulilat Pulubi”. Ang mga kasamahan naming pasahero ay nakitawa na rin! Ang sama ng mga bruha! Aba! Nilalait nila ang aking sintang paaralan! Ayos lang sana kung pagkatao o itsura ko na lang ang nilalait ng mga ito, matatanggap ko pa. ngunit gayong ang aking pandayan ng karunungan na nilalait nila, hindi ko ata yun mapapayagan. Hindi ba nila alam na ang nilalait nilang paaralan ay hindi hamak namang may kwenta kaysa sa kanila kung kalibre lang din ng edukasyon ang pinag-uusapan.
Wag nilang ipagmalaki ang de-aircon nilang mga classroom dahil kung lamig lang din ang pag-uusap, mas malamig namang di hamak ang west wing ng PUP, hayun nga lang, paminsan may kasama pang ulan. Alin pa ba ang ipagmamalaki nila? Alin, yung skul reputation nila? Alin dun? Ung bang kaunting examination passers nila? O yung sinasabi nilang easy to find job coz skul background matters??? Well, reality hits company nowadays. Mas sa kakayahan ng tao ang mas matimbang kaysa saan kang eskwelahan ka galling. Mas mahalaga ang may utak at may karanasan kaysa walang muwang sa mundo. Hehehe. Hindi survivor type eka nga! Ang pinagkaibahan nga lang talaga ay ang tuition fee. Mas naaawa nga ako sa kanila dahil ang laki ng tuition nila pero hindi naman worth it. Sabi nga ng isa kong kaibigan, ang dali daw makakuha ng flat 1 sa kanila( galling siya sa skul ni Ate Brace Teeth) ang sabi ko naman, siyempre, yung finals kasi nyo, eh quiz lang naming,eh.heeheheh.
Bigla akong bumalik sa realidad. Kinalabit ko si Ate Rebond Hair at tinanong “ from what skul ba kayo ate??” ngumisi siya sabay turo sa skul logo sa damit niya, “ ***”, pagmamalaki nya pa. “ ah, sa Cash Earned University pala kayo galling. Sabi ko na nga ba, kaya pala Cupas ang Estayl ng Uniporme nyo. Sana baguhin yang uniporme nyo pati na rin ung Cupas na Establishment ng University nyo”. Natameme si Ate Rebond Hair at binalingan ko naman si Ate Brace Teeth, “ ah, ikaw ate, alam ko saan skul ka. Sa Fast Earned University noh??alam mo ate maganda talaga dyan sa skul nyo, ang dali daw kumita pati mga estudyante, basta sakay ka lang sa mga car na nakapark sa labas ng skul ninyo, kikita ka na!”
Parang napipi ang namumulang mga sosyalera. Namamangha namang nakatitig sa akin ang mga pasaherong kanina lamang ay tumatawa sa pang iinsulto ng dalawa. Aba! Ang isang PUPian ay hindi nagsusumikap mag aral para lamang hamakin ng kung sinong nagmamagaling. Dahil, kayang kaya naming makipagsabayan sa kahit na kanino. “ at sya nga pala mga ate”, baling ko pa sa dalawa. “ luma napo yung Paaralan ng mga Ulilat Pulibi, may bago nap o ngayon. PUP stands for ‘Philippines Ultimate Pride bearer’…sabay sabing “ MANONG, PARA”…

Two strips of her white cloth
Danced the sluttish laid
Hers so beautiful, men eyed closely
In night, she sings like a siren
In day, she hides in silence
Why feel bad? How i wish you just leave the burden..

She loved the man in white
But the golds and silvers blinded her
For in physical body cant be the soul
And therefore cant be the dress

Oh, can I climbed out of this darkness?
If Im in the light but then back where Ive started?
If I would griped in tomorrows promise
Would Ill be safe for eternity??

Just let it be, my piano is playing now
Its music firms the wind and so does my voice
As it huddle its listeners..
Surely my fontal is kept
But im hoping my lyrics would sue its rythem
So please dont be deft my love
Coz right now Im the only one hearing the echoes...
