Unbelievable
CRAIG DAVID

Always said I would know where to find love
Always thought I'd be ready and strong enough
But some times I just felt I could give up
But you came and changed my whole world now
I'm somewhere I've never been before
Now I see, what love means

It's so unbelievable
And I don't want to let it go
Something so beautiful
Flowing down like a waterfall
I feel like you've always been forever a part of me
And it's so unbelievable to finally be in love



Somewhere I'd never thought I'd be
In my heart, in my head, it's so clear now
Hold my hand you've got nothing to fear now
I was lost and you've rescued me some how
I'm alive, I'm in love you complete me, And I've never been here before.
Now I see, what love means

When I think of what I have, and this chance I nearly lost
I cant help but break down, and cry.

Now I see, what love means

hello.. hello

marami na ang pimples ko sa kakasagot sa mga nagmumurang kano.... kaya ko na ring matulog kahit tirik na tirik ang araw...

bagong taon na naman para sa lahat... pero mahirap pa rin ang masang pinoy.

bagong taon at tax payer na ako.

D'SOUND

I am the one who believes in all that you say
I am the one who never wants to define herself
I am the one who’s parallel, upfront, behind
I am the one paddling like crazy through the night
Refine, old time, colourblind
Big sign, do time, doesn’t rhyme
A lot, to much, standing tall
And I’m crying in the valley:“I shall never, ever fall!”
People are people and I feel so strong
People are people and I’m going on
I am the onewho stirs it up everytime
I am the one who never knows how close she is
I am the one who’d rather be dead than confess
I am the onetrying to be good, wanting to be bad and so on
Excess, temptress, big mess
Phoney, lonely, it’s a test
Be still my heart, don’t you fail
And I’m crying on the stagefloor:“I will always prevail!”
I’m going on…

happy birthday momi ellen!

salamat sa pagmamahal

crazy day!

isang tradisyon sa UP sugbu. sa week long celebration ng college days eh me nakalaang isang araw where the pipol of UP sugbu can act, talk, walk and dress crazily! opo bibigyan ka ng pagkakataon na ilabas ang topak mo (well all year round naman talaga ito) ito ay ala costume party ng mga UPIAN yun nga lang di party kaagad dahil kung me klase ka o exam eh kelngan mong puntahan yun wearing your crazy attire.

nagsisimula ang araw syempre sa pagpasok mo ng school na kung saan me mga taga APO fraternity na handang buhusan ka ng tubig na galing sa canal kung ikaw ay nakabihis matino. at dahil sinasadya ng mga teachers na magbigay ng quiz sa tuwing sasapit ang crazy day eh no choice ka kundi ang pagisipan paano ka magmukhang buang para makapasok ng campus na di mangagamoy utot.

uso sa araw na ito ang cross dressing (lalake nagbibihis babae or babae na nagbibhis lalake) uso rin ang body painting pero ang kwela ay yung mga sikat sa campus dahil everyday eh parang crazy day kung pumorma pero sa araw ng crazy day eh nagmumukhang tao at bihis na bihis, pusturang pustura at naka gel pa.

nung first year nakatapis lang ako ng tuwalya (pero syempre me shorts at tube sa ilalim ng towel) at me bitbit na tabo nung pumasok ako for a class, 7:30 pa man din ang sked ko nun. nung second year naki tema ako sa mga ka tropa ko sa boarding haus at punk kunwari kami napuno ng henna tatoo ang braso at leeg ko pati sa left cheek me henna din habang hirap akong maglakad dahil sa taas ng boots ko na hiniram namin sa mga kapitbahay naming GRO pati na rin ang super skimpy leather skirt at pawisan boung araw dahil sa mabigat na leather jacket. nung third year eh wala akong naisip kaya nireverse ko nalang ang pantalon at t shirt ko sabay gulo ng buhok at solb na nalusutan ko ang isang balde ng tubig canal. nung fourth year horror naman ang tema.

me parade sa arw na ito lahat ng mga naka crazy outfit eh maglalakad patungong ayala center at pagdating dun eh derecho ang pasok sa activity center kung saan eh me instructions muna na ibibgay gaya ng mga bwal gawin sa loob ng mall para di mawindang ang ibang mga andun. tapos lunch break. pgka 1 na eh assemble ulit sa activity center para sa isang programa. me battle of the brainless. palakihan ng wetpu at kung ano2x pa. ang pinaka finale eh ang pagbibigay ng award at ang pinkamtaas na parangal syempre ay ang craziest outfit of the year.

dinadayo ang activity na ito ng ibang schools sa cebu eh kasi kwela nga naman. pero gaya ng iba pang activities eh palagi itong tinutuligsa ng simbahan at mga women's org. laging sinasabi na yan ba daw ang nararapat na pinakikita at ginagwa ng mga iskolar ng bayan. napaka imoral!

aha morality issues! bsta para sa amin na andun at nag pparticipate sa nsabing activity eh enjoy kami at syempre npakagandang alaala sa bawat nagdaan sa UP sugbu. miss ko na mga klasmeyts ko lalo na ang inuman sa tuwing matatapos ang exam!

bungang isip

kapag alas dos na ng madaling araw at ikaw ay gising pa ano ang pwedeng gawin?
mag muni2x at isulat ang bunga ng pag iisip:

masarap maging masaya...
laging maganda ang gising mo sa umaga.

masaya ang bawat panibagong simula...
lalo pag ito ay puno ng pagmamahal at pag-asa.

mabuti na rin na matinding pagsubok ay mapagdadaanan...
dahil sa katapusan nito ay maraming bagay kang matutunan at mapapatunayan.

masarap magmahal at ang ikaw din ay mahalin...
lalo kapag di umaasa ng sobra sa pwede mong ibigay at tanggapin.

one afternoon

i enjoyed the heat of the sun cheering for those little but strong legs who played so hard to win a goal. i envied the dedication these girls have for every game that they've played, how fearless they were in facing their opponents never intimidated by height nor strength. Ive seen how exhausted they were.... game after game after game... but still they stood for every call.

then the day was over... they may never made it to the top but they played a fair and nice and inspiring game and that's the best part.




a quesadilla, a smile, a hug, a picture for a new friendship and a new life!

till they take my heart away...

Wag Na Init Ulo BaBy

Malapit na akong matunaw
Sa init ng iyong ulo
Muntikan pa akong masugatan
Sa talas ng pagtitig mo


Pumapangit ka na naman
Easy nakakahawa yan
Akoy nakikiusap lang

Wag na init ulo baby (baby)
Dinggin mo please payong ito
Inom tubig nood ng tv
Gaan bigla problema mo

Hindi naman kinakailangan
Na ngumiti agad agad
Tsaka na tayo magpalitan
Ng I love you I swear to God
Alam na natin yun di ba
Maubos na mga tala
Akoy andito lang sinta

Wag na init ulo
Wag na init ulo
Wag na init ulo baby
Pap pap pap parara parara

life's full of shit

-an email from my friend and colleague jerome yap (tnx buddy!)

A turkey was chatting with a bull.

"I would love to be able toget to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."

"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull."They're packed with nutrients."The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night,the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Lesson: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold,the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.
While he was lyingthere, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird laythere in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dungwas actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung,and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Lesson: Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

viva vigan!

sa iilang araw ng leave ko eh sa banaue sana ang punta kaya lang night before the start of my vacation leave eh kumontra ang tenga ko at nagdugo me kung anong infection at hole daw sa eardrums kaya pinagbawalan ako ng doktor na umakyat ng bundok, sumakay ng eroplano, kumain ng chocolates, mag face powder, at kung anu-ano pa and so we've decided to put that banaue/sagada trip on hold until my ears will get better and agreed to visit vigan. well... kung sa mapa titingnan ang layo na ng vigan sa aking pinagmulan kumbaga eh nasa magkabilang dulo ng pilipinas na.

i enjoyed the vigan trip very much kahit na nga eh kumikirot ang tenga, grabe ang ubo at non stop ang sipon ko. vigan really is a heritage city sabi ko nga eh vintage vigan as in magmumukhang walang ka kwenta kwenta ang bahay mo kung bagong pintura ito at modern ang architectural design dahil doon mas luma eh mas sikat. kaya nga marami sa mga bagong bahay doon ang sinsadyang me tuklap kunwari ang semento ng haligi para makita ang bricks para naman eh ma in sa makalumang tema ng ciudad fernandina pero yun nga lang eh nagmumukhang tanga dahil halatang japeyk.

sa unang araw ng aking vigan trip eh diretso kaagad sa palengke para naman matikman ang mga local dishes dun at natupad naman dahil nung umaga ding yun eh nakapag papaitan at sinanglao kaagad ako. me kakanin express pa na patupat at pinipig na lang ang maalala kong mga pangalan pero everything else was equally delicious. the very first ilocano word ive learned? ADING! which i find so sweet and so amusing parang ang lambing pakinggan: ading.... ading.... hehehehe

i got the chance to visit some of the musueums in vigan me bahay ni burgos, bahay ng mga crisologo, arzobispado at of course ang mapasyalan ang famous crisologo street na kung saan nakalinya ang mga bahay na bato na me mga antique shops, tindahan ng mga pasalubong, funeraria, hotel at kung anu-anu pa sa mga ilalim ng nga bahay na ito. hinding hindi ka rin mauubusan ng masasakyan sa vigan dahil sa dami ng mg trike duun meron ding mga kalesang nag uunahan sa pag offer sayo ng masasakyan.

that may be my firts and last trip to vigan

i enjoyed the trip, the company at of kors ang pagkain!

• empenada at okoy- nasa nakahilerang kainan sa plaza burgos pili ka lang kung sinong tindera o tondero ang type mong mag serve sa yo.
  
• pinapait at sinanglao- pwedeng sa palza burgos o di kaya sa palengke either of which eh parehong masarap
  
• bagnet- kung gusto mong magbayad ng ambiance eh pwede mag order nito sa sa cafe leona (along crisologo st) o di kaya eh sa cafe uno (grandpa's inn) pero karamihan sa mga taga Vigan ang nag rerekomenda ng bagnet sa palengke na talaga namang nagkalat doon pipili ka lng ulit ng tindereang type mo :)
  
• pinakbet- ang nasubukan ko eh ang sa cafe uno na masarap naman
  
• dinengdeng- na me 2 version: sa gaizel carenderia eh malabnaw pero masarap at sa cafe uno na malapot pero masarap din.
  
• vigan longganisa- something that vigan should be proud of!
  
• mango wine (me basi din sana pero di ko na natikman)
  
• bibingka- medyo na weirdohan ako dahil cassava ang ginamit but then masarap din naman
  
• tinubong (not so sure) - that kawayan thing na me something na matamis sa lalaim nito na hinhampas para mabuksan (di ko talaga maalala ang pangalan hehehe)
  

carbocistine

kapagod magkasakit lalo na kung di ka sanay
tulad ko na once in a blue moon lang kung dalawin ng lagnat o ng sipon at mas lalo pag ubo
kaya ngayon na i have both colds and cough eh hirap na hirap ako
kelangan kong bumangon kapag natatahol na ako para di ko magising iba sa pagakakatulog
nakakahiya ring umubo in public lalo na kapag me tunog plema
masakit na rin ang ilong ko sa kaka pinggot para punasan ng tissue para di tumulo
napaka cruel to the environment ko na rin sa dami ng tissue na nagagamit ko sa isang araw
masakit na chest, back at pati tiyan ko sa kakaubo
higit sa lahat pagod na ring akong patunayan ang sarili ko

Cool

It's hard to remember how it felt before
Now I found the love of my life...
Passes things get more comfortable
Everything is going right

And after all the obstacles
It's good to see you now with someone else
And it's such a miracle that you and me are still good friends
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool

We used to think it was impossible
Now you call me by my new last name
Memories seem like so long ago
Time always kills the pain

Remember Harbor Boulevard
The dreaming days where the mess was made
Look how all the kids have grown
We have changed but we're still the same
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool

And I'll be happy for you
If you can be happy for me
Circles and triangles, and now we're hangin' out with your new girlfriend
So far from where we've been
I know we're cool

tnx paghord!

jellyace

i almost died of fear two nights ago......

thanks to the lady who sat beside me, for the hug and the jellyace she offered to comfort me

to the imam who prayed for our safety (kahit in muslim yun at di ko naintindihan pero ininterpret naman niya for us)

thanks to daniel who answered my call when i was in panic and needed someone to talk to so as to calm and prevent myself from jumping off the boat, for the jokes and tips on how to survive and for passing the phone to idak so that she could also talk to me....

to idak for laughing out her nervousness for me and telling me 'kaya mo yan che!"

salamat ke romel for making me promise not to ride that boat again.

ke ate rita na nag text para magtanong kung kumusta ako kahit di niya alam ang mga pangyayari...

sa lalaking nagtayo at naghawak ng teheras para me mataguan kami at nang di mabasa sa napakalakas na ulan....

sa lahat ng pasahero who kept on reminding each other na panatilihing timbang ang boat kundi sama-sama kaming malulunod....

sa crew ng M/V Nora (.....) who were honest enough to warn us that something was really wrong by giving us our respective lifejackets...

salamat na rin siguro sa mga pangyayaring ganito dahil each time na me pagdadaanan ako o pinagdadaanan eh me natutunan akong mga bagay bagay na di ko alam noon....

phoneyworld.com

cellular phones, cell phones, mobile phones which ever is the most right word to call this gadget has become a basic necessity nowadays kung wala kang phone eh parang nawawala ka sa sibilisasyon.well marami nga din namang nagagawang mabuti ang cellfone sa buhay nga mga tao ngayon lalo na sa mga pinoy na siyang numero unong tumatangkilik sa teknolohiyang ito. for one, eh napaka convenient nga naman pag me cellphone ka dahil isang "wer u?" mo lang sa halagang isang piso eh malalaman mo na kung asan ang taong hinahanap mo. di mo na rin (o ang nanay at tatay mo) kelangang umabot sa di pagkakaintindihan sa telgrama para lang makahingi ng alawans.

pero dagdag gastos din ang pagkakaroon ng cellfone dahil kelangan mong mag load ng mag load at sa mga tulad kong naka plan eh di rin maiiwasang lumampas sa credit limit. at kapag nasira eh kelangan mong ipaayos o kung di na kakayanin eh bumili ng bago. ambilis din ng pagpapalit os shall i say pagpapalabas ng mga models ng mga kompanya ng cell phones. mula sa ala palupalong analog na tawag lamang eh dinagdagan ng sms na nooy pwede lang sa magkaparehong network at libre pa ang text noon. hanggang sa pinaliit.... tinanggalan ng antenna...mas lalong pinaliit...dinagdagan ng games....hanggang sa ginawang colored.... dinagdagan ng camera... di pa nasatisfy eh gumawa na rin ng telepono at mini kompyuter all in one!!
lahat ng ito ay tinangkilik nating mga pinoy.. pero sa lahat ng modelong naipalabas na nagdaan sa mga kamay ko lahat yun kung hindi man nasira eh nanakaw. gaya ngayon parang masisira yata itong aking cellfone dahil bigla bigla na lang namamatay tapos eh mag rerestart ulit.... sabi ni misty (na recently eh nasiraan din ng fone) eh nag crash daw ang whatever ng celfone.... haaay sana wag naman mangyari sa akin yun dahil wala pa akong pambili ng bago :)

sunset

i love it when the sun sets.......

because surely a brand new day will follow!

You Owe Me Nothing In Return

I'll give you countless amounts of outright acceptance if you want it
I will give you encouragement to choose the path that you want if you need it
You can speak of anger and doubts your fears and freak outs and I'll hold it
You can share your so-called shame filled accounts of times in your life and I won't judge it
(and there are no strings attached to it)
You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving it's my privilege
And you owe me nothing in return
You can ask for space for yourself and only yourself and I'll grant it
You can ask for freedom as well or time to travel and you'll have it
You can ask to live by yourself or love someone else and I'll support it
You can ask for anything you want anything at all and I'll understand it
(and there are no strings attached to it)
You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving it's my privilege
And you owe me nothing in return
I bet you're wondering when the next payback shoe will eventually drop
I bet you're wondering when my conditional police will force you to cough up
I bet wonder how far you have now danced you way back into debt
This is the only kind of love as I understand it that there really is
You can express your deepest of truths even if it means I'll lose you and I'll hear it
You can fall into the abyss on your way to your bliss I'll empathize with
You can say that you have to skip town to chase your passion I'll hear it
You can even hit rock bottom have a mid-life crisis and I'll hold it
(and there are no strings attached)
You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving it's my privilege
And you owe me nothing in return

come ala bora

one thing really nice about bora is not the beach, (yep contrary to what is written in travel books that the water is so clear and that the sand is so fine well it really doesn't differ from that of what siquijor beaches have to offer!)but the nightlife, the fun and of course the food! well in a small island like boracay eh andun na nga halos lahat ng cuisine na gusto mong kainin.... at dahil nakapunta ako dun (kahit lean season dahil rainy season) eh nasubukan ko ang iilan sa mga "to die for" foods sa tinatawag nilang island of paradise:

• English Bakery (station 2) - tomato and onion omelete, ang fish and chips lunch meal na pang-isahan daw pero pwede na para sa dalawang tao, samahan mo ng tuna vegetable salad, tapos mixed fruits shake, nasubukan ko rin ang muesli with yoghurt pero dahil super asim nung pineapple eh di ko naubos ang muesli syang at 75 pesoses din naman yun. Maraming mga foreigners ang dinadala ng mga tourist guides dito para ipasubok ang filipino breakfast na sini serve nila kaya ang itaas na bahagi ng stall nila eh para lang sa may bookings pero dahil lean season eh ngakaroon naman kami ng pagkakataong makakain sa upper dining area kahit pinoy kami at walang booking.
  
• True Food (station 2) - indian indian ang tema di lang ng pagkain kundi pati ang ambiance sa restaurant na ito. kapansin pansin ang malalaking yellow pillows na nakalapag sa banig na nasa bamboo sahig na kung napagod ka sa kakaswimming eh pwede kang humiga habang hinihintay ang order mong northern india set meal na me pipino at lamb curry na super duper anghang. truly pagpapawisan ka sa food nila....
  
• Hobbit House(d' mall station 2)- yep meron din sa bora gaya ng nasa malate! they serve the best crispy pata sa halos lahat ng nasubukan ko na not to include the warm accomodation u get from the hobbits themselves :) na 99% eh mga taga manila na nalayo sa pamilya dahil sa trabaho.
  
• Gastof (station 2)- well this restaurant is known for their yummy baby back ribs daw pero di yun ang natikman ko dito kundi ang fried prawn in garlic and butter at ang grilled kitang na masarap din naman.
  
• Jonah's Fruit Shakes(station1)- by the name itself eh na pa wow lang naman ako sa sarap ng moccha rhum at banana choco peanut shakes nila. nag boracay fest din ako (tuna sandwich na may may onions at tomato tapos me little american flag na nakatusok on top of the sandwich) medyo nga lang me kalayuan ang snack bar na ito na kelangan mo munang baybayin ang baybay para makarating dun... but it's worth it!
  
• El Centro (station 2) - ang free breakfast nila of toasted bread, honey at butter, scrambled egg eh ok naman pero ang talagang masarap eh ang mango juice nila na tlagang fresh mangoes ang ginawa at hindi ang nakasanayang gina canned mango juice
  

eto na lang muna at baka masira na tiyan nyo sa pagkain!
