17 months..

hello blog.... it's been a while...
much has happened since the last time i have visited you...

i gained weight and everyone is making a fuss about it in the craziest ways you could ever imagine. now i understand how anorexic people feel and think because i myself felt that i don't deserve to be happy or even to exist in this world all because my curves are obvious and i look heavier.

if only i could shout right at their faces i would.. but all i could say is "ok na ni kaysa sa naay cancer" hahahay

break pala ha!

today is my last day of work before ill take a one week break and spend time with ayi and mel for our annual summer vacation.... we have planned to spend it in camiguin this time. kaso lang habang papalapit na ng papalapit ang bukas eh para akong nasasakal sa dami ng kelangan kong tapusin sa trabaho bago makapag break. i need to make sure that all my overdue tasks be accomplished or else my summer vacation will be cut short. pero me hanggang 12 midnight pa naman ako para mag cram and so the timer starts now..

it is really amazing how time flies so so fast, never have i imagined that someday i would end up sharing a cold bottle of beer with the little girls i used to cuddle. Paghe, Mae-i and Darling Gamay graduated college few days ealier and as an after grad party or according to them "chill", me and their respective kuya's decided to treat them out. Since it was a sunday night most of the bars in Iligan were closed, we needed to walk from bar after bar just to check out a place to "chill" finally we find a not-so-perfect place to hang out:




live band- Check!

cold san mig light and red horse - Check!

So much better than going back to our hotel rooms frustrated. We shared a good laugh from the weird band whose lead singer danced like that baby in a diaper screensaver, who according to the three girls was also the endorser of the famous iligan sukang pinakurat. It was also kuya mamaks birthday the following day so it was a double blast for all of us. After quite a number of red horse for them and 3 bottles of san mig light for me we moved to a bar few steps away from el centro. Bangkok was the bar's name, not so spacious, very crowded, but then again we had no other choice. There the girls danced the night away, i can't help but laugh at my self because i acted like a mother hen there constantly checking that the girls were in no way near to a group of guys who were staring at them. I even suggested or shall i say ordered that our chairs be arranged in a circle just to make a statement to the other people there that the girls will dance exclusively in that area and that no stranger would be tolerated beyond those boundaries.





Inside i was very proud of the girls for not disappointing their parents by finishing school. The celebration ended with tears out of happiness and drunkness. To sarika isabel, syldawn mae and abigail krista congratulations my palanggas and love you muchos batchmates!

pasko,paksiw,pasko,paksiw

mel and i promised ourselves to go veggie next year and that's about 3 weeks more, in 2008 no more red meat for the two of us... next year pa palilipasin na muna namin ang pasko lalo na me gift certificate kami from purefoods na 300 pesos worth of fiesta ham, a gift from electrolux kasi umutang kami ng ref nila. sayang naman yun sa dami ba namang pinoy na di maka afford ng hamon sa pasko?!

so next year susubukan kong mag gym... seseryosohin ko na ang sabado badminton sessions ko...

promise promise...

tiil

nice pedicure....

aroma

salamat mel....

sa bagong bahay natin na sabi mo nga eh work in progress....

sa maaga mong birthday gift na napa kontrobersyal, madrama at maeksenang cofeemaker... kahit di natin nabili ang braun eh gusto ko pa rin yung nabili natin...

dahil hinayaan mo akong mag flare up at mag lecture ng consumers rights dun sa mga tindera sa ororama na nilinlang tayo na bagong design ng braun eh di na kelangan ng filter yun pala eh paper filter ang kelangan

for telling me na sexy naman ako pero mas lalo pang maging sexy kung subukan ko lang mag excercise at magbawas ng taba kahit konti lng..

for making me wanna come home and share a coffee or a champorado with you..

dahil kahit nung minsan na nag walk out ako dahil sa asar sa yo eh binigay mo pa rin ang susi sa bahay para di naman ako mag mukhang tanga at tumunganga sa bahay para hintayin ka dahil di pala ako makapasok..

for spoiling me at hinayaan mo ang layaw ko na bumili ng pirated na b-day album ni beyonce at bagong album ni norah jones kahit alam mong wala na tayo sa budget...

daghang salamat sa pagpangga akong pinangga!

holy vacation!

i cant wait for that day!!!

MASAYA AKO TODAY!

nakakatuwa naman nung nag kita kita kami ulit ng mga dati kong nakatrabaho. di man masyadong mahaba ang panahon ng pinagsamahan namin eh ok din pala pakiramdam na makita mo ang mga taong di mo man naging "crowd" nung panahon eh at least napangiti ka pa rin ng muli kayong nagkita.... andami ng naging kwentuhan update dito update doon, me mga nasagap na bagong tsismis. syempre di nawala ang "flashback" ng mga moments na pinagsamahan, me tinawanan, me tinaasan ng kilay, me piniling ibaon sa limot at ang iba eh pinag nilay nilayan. the bottom line eh pare parehong me natutunan sa mga napag daanan.

it is so nice to know that we are all happy!

SI COCOY!

Its supposedly his ninth month inside nanay's tummy, but he was gotten out of there earlier so its his first month on earth!

ANG ALAMAT NG LECHON

come baby come

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies

I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me

from the grave

finally i got the chance to observe/witness an exhumation/autopsy yesterday. that experience made me understand why most families of a murdered (or whatever is the cause of death) person refuse if they are asked that an autopsy will be conducted as a part of the investigation process. grabe talagang kinakatay ang tao!!! syempre di mo kakayanin yun pag kapamilya ka nung namatay kaso kelngang andun ka dahil SOP yun na me kapamilya ng biktima kapag ginagawa ang autopsy. di ko personally nakilala si ka eric ng UNORKA nung nabubuhay pa siya narinig ko lang pangalan niya sa mga ksamahan ko din sa trabaho pero finally nagkaharap na rin kami yun nga lang nasa stage of decomposition na siya.

it was a very cloudy afternoon, everybody were given a disposable face mask pananggalang sa amoy at meron ding baso ng tanduay 5 years na pinapasa pasa ng mga andun para daw dun sa mga nangangailangan ng init na dulot ng alcohol para kayaning tingnan ang proseso ng pag aautopsy. swerte ko lang at matindi ang sipon ko kaya kahit na anung gawing sunod sunod na singhot ang gawin ko eh wala akong maamoy.

astig yung assistant ng NBI doctor na kung tawagin namin eh sya yung matador dahil sya ang mismong gumagawa ng pag slice ng skin sa mukha para mailabas ang skull na lalagariin para naman matanggal ang utak at matingnan ang entry at exit wound na dinulot ng pagkakabaril ke ka eric. kung titingnan mo si matador eh para bagang wala na siyang pakiramdam kahit na tao ang kinakatay niya.

i've said to myself buti na lang at hindi naging ganun ang trabaho ko pero on second thought naisip ko rin na buti na lang pala na me mga taong willing pasukin ang ganung trabaho dhil kung hindi eh wala na sanang autopsy at kung walang autopsy eh mahihirapan ang investigation lalo na sa mga kasong bangkay na nung nakita kaya di malalaman kung ano ang ikinamatay.

oh well people really have different roles in this life for a reason at ang mga rason na yun eh equally and relatively important..

i planned to post some pics during that day kaso naisip ko baka masyadong morbid kaya wag na lang for general viewing pa naman ang blog na to!

happy holidays
