Ang Pagbabalik

2009-07-21T14:57:00.002-06:00

Nandito pa pala ang blog na 'to, sino ba may-ari nito ang tamad naman.

Haller eh pasensya na at busy-busyhan ang lola nyo, sa Facebook! Wahaha! Hakchuli, nawala lang talaga ang aking mojo sa pagba-blog, naksnaman gumaganun pa! Pero okay na yun at eto sa aking pagbabalik, meron akong pasalubong sa inyong... dyarrraaannn... kanta! As if naman kagandahan ang kanta ko, wala lang nag-aadik-adikan lang ako ng araw na nirecord ko yan kaya ayan ang resulta, tunog-ngongo, pero pagtyagaan nyo na rin, parang-awa nyo na.

O yan, pwede na ba akong kantatera (singer)? Sige go, go na sa comment box at laitin ako, libre panlalait dito, haha.

Boyet F***in' Fajardo

2009-03-23T20:08:00.007-06:00

Late na naman ako sa chismis. Pero, huli man daw at magaling, ay daig ang mabaho at malansang isda.... whatevah! :)

Grabe naman talaga itong Boyet Fajardo na 'to, ano naman ang akala nya sa sarili nya, Hari? Malupit na Hari na nanlalait, nagmumura at nagpapaluhod ng kanyang mga alipin? Da nerve!!!!

Sa mga di pa nabalitaan at napanood kung ano'ng kahayupan ang ginawa nang baklitang Boyet na yan, eto...

Hay naku ang ibang tao nga naman, pag nakatikim na ng tagumpay at kumita na ng limpak-limpak na salapi eh akala mo kung sino na.

Kapag nanalo sa demanda ang Duty Free, ang dapat sa 'yo eh ikulong sa Munti tapos paluhurin ka at i-BJ mo lahat ng preso dun hanggang magka-nana yang tonsils mong bakla ka! Hayup!

*** hindi pa 'ko masyadong galit nyan, slight pa lang yan, heheh!

2009-03-18T13:34:00.005-06:00

Di ko alam kung tumatanda na ba ako talaga o nasobrahan lang ako sa kakabasa ng linsyak na Twilight Saga na yan! Kase ba naman kagabi habang naghuhugas ako ng pinagkainan ng aking mga amo (itago na lang natin sila sa pangalang "asawa" at "dalawang inakay"), bigla akong nahilo. Syempre, chineck ko agad ang BP ko kase baka high blood ako or low blood. Pero okay naman, sakto lang. So malamang unti-unti nang sinipsip ang dugo ko ng mga Cullens. Halos ayoko na kasing ibaba ang libro pag inumpisahan ko nang basahin eh apat na libro yun lahat-lahat at nasa pangalawa pa lang ako. Pero dahil mahal ko naman ang kalusugan ko at ayokong tuluyan ng maadik sa mga bampira, titigilan ko muna ang pagababasa at baka pag hindi eh ibalik ng mahal kong kabiyak ang mga libro sa bookstore.

Pwamis, merong ganyang kalaking boobs!

Nung kadarating lang namin dito, naisipan kong tumingin ng bra sa Sears, baka 'ikako meron akong matipuhang bilhin.

At eto ang mga na-sight ko!

Nag-isip tuloy ako kung saan ba 'to pinangtatakip, sa boobs ba o sa pwet?!!

Langya naman, eh pa'no na kaming mga hindi well-endowed? Sabi ng asawa ko, "Tara, dun ka tumingin sa teens."

Happy Birthday...

2009-01-22T08:34:00.002-07:00

... to me!

A birthday is just another day,
young of mind, yet youthful looks go away.
Another year older,
the world seems a bit colder.
Yet my heart still burns,
and for love it forever yearns.
Another year older,
I grow even bolder.
Life is for us to learn from,
as calculated as a mathematical sum.
Another year older,
hurting blazes now just smolder.
Letting go of past rage and pain,
living life and feeling sane.
Another year older,
a tear on your shoulder.
Life has not been so bad,
my tear is of joy not because I'm sad.
Another day older,
more pages added to my folder.
I'm glad of who I am today,
I would not have myself any other way.
So don't mind that I write my own birthday rhyme,
I've lived through my life up till this time.
I think it is safe to say,
that things will go as planned His way.
He's got more for me yet,
It'll be even better I bet.
Another year older,
and I am in His debt.

Thank you God for another year.

I'm Back

2008-12-15T12:29:00.007-07:00

Tapos na 'kong mag-emote. I should be moving on.

So, ano bang latest? May 'nawalang' artista, di ko sya kilala pero nakakalungkot din kase ang bata pa nya. Sa isang corner naman ng blogosphere, merong nagkainitan ng ulo dahil sa pag-comment sa isang comment, good thing now is - bati na sila. Dito naman sa amin, eto at malapit nang umabot hanggang tuhod ko ang snow at sobrang lamig na, kahapon lang umabot ng -40 ang temp. Hindi na sya nakakatuwa! Walong araw na lang at Pasko na pero ni isa wala pa akong nabibiling regalo so I think kelangan ko nang mag-panic. Nakakatamad naman kase lumabas ng bahay pag ganitong uber sa lamig, unang-unang dahilan - ang dami mong kelangang isuot pag lalabas ka ng bahay to keep you warm and dry.

Eto ang layering (ko) ng damit pag winter:
1st layer (after ng undies syempre): tank top, yung tight fitting and wicking material
2nd layer: long sleeved thermal top
3rd layer: sweater or any long sleeved top na medyo mainit sa katawan (fleece or wool)
4th layer: wind/water resistant insulated jacket, preferably yung may hood

Bottoms: (bukod uli sa undies) thermal pants then snow pants.

Syempre hindi lang katawan ang kelangang coveran, importante din na warm ang iyong ulo, kamay at paa. So you need to wear a hat or tuque sabay suot ng hood ng iyong jacket. Pag matagal ka sa labas at sobrang baba ng temp, you also need to wear ear muffs at baka di mo napapansin nahulog na pala ang isang tenga mo. Kelangan mo ng insulated na gloves, kung sobrang ginaw meron pa 'kong thin gloves na pang-layer. Ako kase pag lumabas kamay ko ang unang nakakaramdam ng lamig. Sa paa naman kelangan pa may sock liner then socks tapos saka mo isusuot ang iyong winter boots. Bukod sa mga yan, magsusuot ka pa ng scarf or neck warmer.

So ayun, pag suot mo na ang lahat ng yan mukha ka ng Santa Claus sa katabaan at ready ka ng rumampa sa snow. Weeeee!

Mas gusto ko pa rin ang weather sa Pinas, nakakamiss tuloy lalo na ngayong Pasko. Sigh. I'm sure blockbuster na naman ang mga mall sa dami ng nagki-krismas shopping, eh dito parang wala lang, ni wala nga akong naririnig na Christmas songs sa mga mall dito, ang KJ! Syempre di rin uso ang caroling, simbang gabi, bibingka at puto bumbong. PERO, pero, pero tuloy ang Pasko!! Kahit na konti lang kame dito na magcecelebrate, okay pa rin... at least konti lang reregaluhan, yun nga lang konti lang din ang matatanggap, lol!

Segway lang ako, b'day ni hubby tomorrow. Happy Birthday Sayang*. LuvU! Magpa-canton ka naman!

*Sayang is a term of endearment in Malay language. (Wala lang, maiba lang.)

Empty Cradle

2008-12-09T11:33:00.005-07:00

November 30 - My Doctor confirmed that I was pregnant. I had easy pregnancies before and this one would be of no difference, or so I thought.

December 2 - I bled heavily. While I was being rushed to the ER, the blood gushed like hell. I told myself I'm not losing my baby, it's just blood, no pain... not even slight cramps. I wasn't giddy at all and I was very conscious. I know my little one was holding on to his dear life and I was more than determined to keep him. There's no way I'm letting go. My mind was very clear and my body was able, I was fear-free, I know my baby and I will get through this together. But the bleeding won't stop. I felt helpless as I look at my pants soaking with blood. At the hospital's ER, I felt blood clots coming out and I knew what that meant. Two kinds of ultrasound equipment were used to confirm my fear, I lost my baby and I couldn't do anything about it. Sadly, miscarriage is something you cannot stop once it occurred and I know no one is to be blamed. We have been blessed with 2 children but that doesn't make it any easier to let go. However, I know my little one is now peacefully resting in God's loving arms.

To my unborn baby,

I'm sorry we didn't even have a chance to touch you and hold you in our arms or kiss you. It broke our hearts to lose you... but we know God called you that day, He called you home. We'd love to have you here with us yet I know you're now sleeping in Heaven's nursery.

You're gone but not forgotten. You left too soon but you will forever stay in our hearts, my little angel.

We love you,
Daddy, Mommy, Kuya Reign and Ate Shine

An Open Letter To Buraot

2008-11-27T12:02:00.006-07:00

Dear Buraot,

Una sa lahat, gusto ko munang malaman kung ano'ng ibig sabihin ng buraot. Kamag-anak ba yun ng balahura at balasubas?

Heniwey, gusto ko lang malaman mo na ito ang aking official entry sa iyong Sikatchupoy Contest.

Baka kasi swertehin ako, aba sayang din ang prize, kahit consolation lang na $100 okay na sa 'kin. Maganda naman ang intensyon ko... ibibigay ko ito sa charity. Oo, sa charity - sa mga inaanak ko! lol! Pero dahil mahigit apatnapung bata ang inaanak ko (yung iba dalaga't binata na pala), kulang yung $100 Mr. Buraot, kaya yung 1st prize ang pinupuntirya ko. Compute, compute, convert... hmmm, sa $300 x P49... ayos, tigti-three hundred kayo mga bata!!! Yun ay kung mananalo. Ipagpe-pray over ko yan.

Ang hirap pumili ng post mo na gagawin kong entry... pero naisip ko, ba't pa ba 'ko nagkakandapili eh bobolahin mo lang naman yun sa pamamagitan ng isang tambiolo, so chamba romero ang labanan. Naiisip kong magdagdag pa ng syam na blog para bale magkaron ako ng 10 chances of winning. Pero baka rin kasi topakin ka at piliin mo ang pinaka... pinaka-nakakatouch, pinaka-nakakatawa, pinaka-nakakainis o pinaka-may sense.

At etong Mahal Ang Araw ang isang post mo na nagustuhan ko. Bakit kamo? Wala ka na dun! Harharhar! Ackhuli, gusto ko sya kase Pilipinong-Pilipino ang dating. Kumpleto ang description mula sa mala-pyestang event, yung mga nagpepenitensya - para ko silang nakikita at pinapanood din in flesh, pati na rin yung may ipinapako sa krus at yung mga Morion na sinasabi mo. Ang galeng! Para sa mga kagaya kong hindi pa nakaka-witness ng ganyan at tamad namang mag-gugel o mag-yuchoob para lang mapanood kung ano bang meron sa probinsya nyo, eh okay na rin 'tong mabasa ko post mo na 'to. Solved na, 'ika nga. Hindi kita binobola ha, inuuto lang kita.

Ay sya, kung hindi man ako magwagi, mang-aasar na lang ako. Sa kababasa ko ng mga entries mo, nalaman kong gurang ka na pala talaga. Sus, kung makapanlait naman ako 'kala mo ako eh kabataan ano? Heniwey, narito ang mga nakalap kong "ibidinsya" na nagpapatunay na malapit ka nang makaramdam ng midlife crisis.

1. receding hairline aka napapanot ka na. nakita ko dito at dito ang mga pruweba
2. nirarayuma ka na
3. inabot mo ang singkong kulot
4. inabot mo ang Voltes V

Bawal ang pikon. Alam ko naman na hindi ka pikon kase nagkalat naman sa blog mo ang pag-amin na hindi ka na bagets!

Najejebs na,
Maya

Note:
Para sa mga gustong sumali sa patimpalak ni Buraot, bisitahin ang Anak ni Kulapo website. Pero sa isang banda, sana wag na kayong sumali para naman di lumiit ang chance ng pagkapanalo ko. *evil grin*

Tags and Awards

2008-11-25T09:43:00.006-07:00

Ang tagal kong absent. Pag ganito kasing nagi-snow, nakakatamad gumalaw, ang sarap ng laging nakahilata. At ngayon, sa aking pagbabalik, ipo-post ko na ang mga utang ko. Ano pa eh di mga tag-tag na yan at awards.

Tag from Vhonne slash Batanggero slash Drunk Writer and Arnie.

10 Facts about myself:

1. I'm a Friendster adik. Ngayon nagiging Facebook adik na rin.

2. Spoiled ako ke hubby. Pag hiniling ko, ibibigay nya (kung afford nya, hahah!).

3. 8 yrs akong tumira sa Singapore pero konti lang ang natutunan kong mandarin/malay/tamil words and phrases. Ang hirap kaya.

4. Miss ko na ang naka-flip flops lang pag aalis ng bahay. Pag ginawa ko yan dito, tyak na patay lahat ng kuko ko sa paa sa sobrang ginaw!

5. Dati, pinangarap kong maging singer sa Japan. Sinermunan ako ng Tatay ko.

6. Tirador ako ng kaning lamig. Kaya kong kumain ng sandamakmak na kanin kahit konti lang ang ulam, kaing kargador daw ang tawag dun. lol!

7. Mahilig ako sa shades (sunglasses).

8. Makakalimutin ako. 'Di kaya magkaron ako ng Alzheimer's disease pagtanda ko? Lord, wag naman po!

9. I'm perpetually tardy. Masama loob ko pag sobrang aga ko sa pupuntahan ko. Pero okay lang sa 'kin pag late ako.

10. Nagsisisi ako na hindi ko na-practice ang pagiging Registered Nurse ko. Pero may kasabihan nga na "it's never too late".

Now, gusto kong makaalam ng 10 Facts about these peeps: Shelo, Justkyut, RJ, Marie, Bam, at Francisko ... Wag kayong KJ, gawin nyo 'to! At hindi ko na rin ilalagay ang instructions, malalaki na kayo, I'm sure alam nyo na ang gagawin nyo. Kung nagawa nyo na yan before, pwes gawin nyo uli, basta!

oo0oo

Nakatanggap ako ng ilang awards mula sa iba't-ibang award giving bodies gaya ng Oscar, Famas, Star Awards, Gawad Urian atbp. Pasensya na ngayon ko lang maipopost kase nga maginaw dito sa Northpole, nahihirapan akong mag-type. OA! Hahaha!

Salamat kay Dylan para dito sa Rose Award. Ipinapasa ko ang award na 'to kay Ilocana. This is for you kabsat.

Ito naman ay galing kina Shelo, Dhianz at Shirgie. Ang cute-cute-cute ko. Kelangan tatlong cute kase tatlo silang nagbigay sa 'kin. Now, I'm passing this to Aian, Justkyut (pangalan pa lang cute na!), Drunk Writer & Paranoia (ang bagong-bagong loveteam sa blogsphere).

Got this from Shelo. Peyborit naming bigyan ng award ang isa't-isa... ba't ba?... wala na kasing pakelamanan! I'm passing this award to RonTuron na dati ko palang opismeyt sa isang kumpanyang pagmamay-ari ng mga Lopez. Pasensya na kapatid pero 'di ko alam kung ano'ng ibig sabihin ng premio dardos, basta binibigyan kita ngayon ng award dahil pa rin sa 'yong kabaitan - salamat uli sa header. Heheh!

Gagay and Shirgie gave me this award. Bakit lemonade? Ewan ko ba. Siguro dahil nagmamaasim ako. Haha! Parang si Madam Auring, lagi nyang sinasabi na may asim pa sya. lol! Ipinapasa ko naman ito sa mga maaasim rin na sina Marie, Marga at Phebie.

Bigay naman ito nina Bam, Francisko and Aian. And I'm now passing this on to Paperdoll (kahit naiimibitahan sya ng pulis para dumulog sa presinto, loves ko ang batang yan at ang kanyang funny blog), Vhonne (yeeeey! may hipag na 'kong ubod ng ganda!), Shelo (bat parang sad ka these days girl?)

Wonder Woman award from Shelo. O ha, wonder woman daw ako, sabagay mahirap maging homemaker 'kala nyo ba? I'm giving this award to Edelweiza, Ilocana, Faye, and Shy and Dhianz.

This award was given by Paperdoll and Vhonne. I'm passing this to Shirgie, Bam, Francisko, RJ and Dylan.

Ito naman po ay mula pa rin kay Shirgie. Kelangan daw magbigay ng 5 Reasons to Smile (today)...
1. Andami kong awards! Weee!
2. Ang sarap ng breakfast ko - tapsilog, home-cooked by ME!
3. Hindi masyadong maginaw ngayon.
4. I've another paid review assignment.
5. Sale ang Christmas tree sa Walmart, $30 lang yung 6ft. Yeeey!

I'm now passing this award to Arnie, PioJun, Shelo, Ilocana, Chubskulit, and PatrickJohn.

Another award from Shirgie. Ipinapasa ko 'to sa lahat ng nasa blogroll ko. Bahala na kayong dumampot!

Ayan, natapos din sa wakas. Ang hirap bunuin ng entry na 'to kase katakot-takot ang links.

Mali Ito. Maling-mali.

2008-11-19T06:32:00.003-07:00

Akala ko mga manok lang ang pinagsasabong. Okay lang kung ang pinapanood kong sumasabog ang dugo sa ilong at kilay ay ang mga boksingero o wrestler o ang mga fighter sa UFC. Pero kung ang makikita mo ay mga batang dalawang taong gulang na nagbubugbugan sa pag-uudyok ng kanilang sariling ama??? Ano 'to???

Siguro napanood n'yo na yan at kagaya ko, alam kong nabubwisit kayo sa tatay ng mga batang 'to. Demonyo sya sa lupa! Grabe, at ang lakas pa ng loob nyang i-video at i-post sa yuchoob ang kademonyohan nya, ayan mananagot sya ngayon! Sabi nga nung Psychologist, "that's teaching the children how to be bullies." Kung ganito naman ang magulang, hindi nga kataka-taka kung bakit may mga batang lumalaking barumbado.

Nakakagigil. Nakakalungkot.

Foreign Accent Syndrome

2008-11-16T12:21:00.001-07:00

Ano'ng gagawin mo kung isang umaga pag-gising mo eh iba na ang accent mo? Akalain mo, meron palang isang rare medical condition na tinatawag na Foreign Accent Syndrome. Nangyayari daw 'to sa mga taong kagagaling lang sa stroke or head injury. Pero konti pa lang naman daw ang may ganitong klaseng condition.

Gaya na lang nitong babaeng nasa video na si Tiffany Roberts, na kahit kelan ay 'di pa nakarating sa Inglatera pero isang araw, tadah... ayan meron na syang British accent. Winner 'di ba?

Okay lang kung British accent, ako I would love to embrace it, lols! Kaso parang masagwa din kung tagalog na tagalog ang salita ko tapos may British accent, 'di ba? Bloody hell!

(Info about Foreign Accent Syndrome here.)

Wishlist: MYNP (Make Your Nanay Proud)

2008-11-13T22:46:00.003-07:00

Malabo pa sa mata ng lola ko ang nauna kong wish (na maging cover ng FHM). Eto pa ang isa kong wish na malabong matupad/suntok sa bwan - ang maging kaboses ni Juris. I wanna make my nanay proud too, y'know?

Maraming nagsasabi na 'di naman sya ganun kagaling pero para sa 'kin winner sya, 'di nga sya bumibirit gaya ng Aegis or ni Cheriz Peympeyngcoh (as Oprah and Ellen would pronounce it) pero swabeng-swabe sya kumanta. Nakakakanta naman ako ng konti pero di ganun kaganda para i-record at i-upload sa yuchoob at magkaron man lang ng 20 hits, alam mo 'yun? 'Di ko naman pwedeng pagbasehan ang score ko sa magic mic, kasi dun basta nasundan mo yung ilaw tyak na mataas ang score mo. Hmm, teka masyado ko naman atang nilalait ang kakayanan ko sa pag-awit. 'Di nyo naitatanong eh... kilala nyo ba si Rachelle Ann Go... o, hindi ko kaboses yun. lol. Pero naalala ko, nung nag-aaral pa 'ko ng Narsing at sakto namang December nun ay natapat ang duty namin sa National Center for Mental Health (oo, sa Mental Hospital 'yun!), syempre ang inyong lingkod na medyo may kakapalan ang mukha ay naatasang kumanta sa kanilang Christmas Party. Syempre pagkatapos ng aking mini concert ay standing ovation!!! Woohoo!! Eh pa'no ba naman karamihan sa audience ko ay mentally challenged, 'kala yata nila isa ako sa 'inmates' nila. Wahahah! O 'di kaya naman dahil nga sa wala sila sa kanilang katinuan eh napagkamalan nila akong si Mariah Carey, o ha?!

Hay naku, kung nakakabili lang ng boses na kagaya ng kay Juris eh talagang pag-iipunan ko. Andami nang sumikat at yumaman dahil sa angking talento sa pagkanta so syempre wish ko din 'yun. Pasensya na, ilusyonada lang.

Ay sya, pakinggan na lang natin si Juris. I'm sure her Momma is really proud of her.

From MYMP Website:
Julie Iris Fernandez (better known as Juris) hails from Davao and took her early education in Ateneo de Davao. She comes from a family of doctors and took BS Psychology in Miriam College as a pre-medicine course. Although she graduated a BS Psychology student, she pursued a career in music as a vocalist despite having no formal training in singing. Her cool and soft voice was eventually loved by the airwaves and the fans. Her quiet, simple and sweet appearance has made her appeal to the fans in their bar gigs and on TV. But despite all her success, she remains kind and fun-loving at heart.

I Heart Jollibee

2008-11-10T23:31:00.003-07:00

I'm craving for Jolly Hotdog, Yumburger, Chicken Joy, Spaghetti, Peach Mango Pie... haaaay, miss ko na Jollibee!

Marami-rami na rin akong nakainan na Fastfood Chains sa Singapore at maging dito sa Canada pero nami-miss ko pa rin ang mga pagkain sa Jollibee. Pinoy pa rin ang panglasa ko... matamis na spaghetti, mamantikang pritong manok, hamburger na may thousand island sauce... only in the Philippines. Sa ibang lahi, nilalait nila 'yang ganyang klase ng pagkain. Naalala ko tuloy hanapin uli ang 2006 blog ng isang Amerkanang si Pamela Ribon na nanlibak ng katakot-takot sa mga pagkain ng Jollibee. Kung gusto n'yo uli itong mabasa, pindot dito. At nilait din pala n'ya ang Kare-Kare ng Barrio Fiesta, peyborit ko din 'yun ah!

At dahil sa sinulat n'ya, marami palang mga Pinoy ang nagpadala ng hate mails sa kanya, gaya na lang nito:

hey loser. giving your rude comments about Jollibee? well then, think again. you're insulting Filipinos in general. lemme remind you that being american doesnt make you any more special than us, Filipinos.

allow me to quote you ignorant bitch
"Pam: You know, if I were at Taco Bell, and a group of Filipino girls came in, sat down next to me with a tray filled with shit, and started screeching and taking pictures? I'd be like, "I know! And we still eat it! It's called a 'Chalupa,' and we still put it in our mouths!"

why use Filipino girls as an example of your bitching? holy shit. youre so lame. and stop acting like a supreme goddess. you know what? im gonna let you know a little secret... you look like dung compared to any Filipinas i know. yep. thats true.. take my word for it.

well i think youre not just an ugly american. you are the WORST american.
You do nothing but discriminate filipinos and make your self appear mighty.
well, jollibee is MY country's PRIME fast food. We love it. We embrace it. We dont think it tastes like shit. I think the food given to you were dung infested. I mean, if i were the waiter, i probably wouldve put a lot of cow shit on your meal. yep. honestly. with all conviction.

and i have to agree with one of your bashers. WELL AT LEAST FILIPINOS ARE KNOWN TO BE CLEAN. we bathe a lot. unlike you americans who bathe like, 5 years of interval. if you can't be clean at all with yourselves, i wonder how you fools can be clean with the food you eat. and oh, all you have is boxed pasta, which tastes like diarrhea. eeeww much. well then, next time you label my race and the food we eat, think about yours and how disgusting you are. would you believe i can actually smell you here, foul stench (how more redundant could that be?)

Ang taray ng lola nyo di ba? Pero agree ako sa kanya.

Wala yatang Pilipino na hindi nakakain sa Jollibee. Oh well, syempre meron din siguro, yung mga 'syala, yung mga Pinoy na ang tingin din sa pagkain ng Jollibee ay chipangga at sooo eeeewy! Sabagay kanya-kanyang taste nga naman yan, ang masarap para sa 'kin ay maaaring hindi masarap para sa ibang tao.

Ah basta, gusto ko ng mga 'to...

Kaso alangan namang umuwi pa 'ko ng Pinas para lang kumain ng Jolly Hotdog... or pumunta sa kapitbahay na bansang US para lang magmeryenda ng Yumburger? Waaaahhh!

6 Random Things

2008-11-07T23:49:00.002-07:00

This is a tag from Marie. Salamat girl!

So here are 6 Random Things about me:

1. Crush ko si Piolo Pascual. Kahit maraming nagsasabing bading s'ya... bading nga ba s'ya? Sayang, fafalicious pa naman! Ah basta, I crush him. Period.

2. I was once a Company Nurse sa isang factory ng mga butones sa napakatrapik na lugar na Novaliches. Na wala naman akong ginawa kundi maglinis ng sugat, maglagay ng betadine at ibalot ng gasa ang mga daliri ng mga empleyadong nadisgrasya sa makinang panggawa ng butones. Bukod dyan, trabaho ko din ang magbigay ng gamot sa kanila... peyborit nila ang Alaxan, Neozep at Imodium. Mga adik! Moral lesson: kung RN ka, wag kang magwork as Co. Nurse, mabuti pang mag-call center agent ka na lang. lol!

3. Sa tagal ng pagtatrabaho ko sa call center, may mga pagkakataong pag nagdadasal ako bago matulog ay ganito ang nasasabi ko. "In the name of the Father, and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Good morning, this is Maya, how may I help you?" Sorry Lord, tao lang po.

At ganyan din ang nagiging sagot ko dati kapag nagriring ang phone namin sa bahay. Amp!

4. Yup. Naranasan kong maging wedding singer nung nasa Pinas pa 'ko. At oo naman, may talent fee ha! Kaso di na nag-flourish ang career kong yan dahil papunta na 'ko nun sa Singapore at 'di naman uso dun ang mga wedding-wedding singer na ganyan, di yun feel ng mga chekwa.

5. Pangarap kong maging Barista. Ang babaw ba? Weno ngayon?

6. Hindi ako marunong mag-bike. At sabi nila, karaniwan daw sa mga hindi marunong magbisikleta ay hindi rin marunong lumangoy. Mukhang tama sila kase 'di rin nga ako marunong lumangoy. Loser!

Now I'm passing this tag to anyone who wants it, hahaha, bahala na kyong i-grab kung gusto nyo.

Great Eyeglasses for Less

2008-11-04T12:07:00.002-07:00

My friend told me that Zenni Optical was on FOX news! I didn't have the chance of seeing it myself so I checked out Zenni on Fox via the internet. And boy was I delighted to discover some great eyeglasses for less. Imagine having eyeglasses for as low as $8, how cool is that? And to top it all, you can choose variable dimension frames from Zenni in the comfort of your home. Yes, you can choose and buy your prescription eyeglasses online, it will save you a lot of time not to mention you can save a lot of money.

Belated Happy Halloween!

2008-11-03T12:11:00.005-07:00

Ilang days din pala akong walang post - bad blogger! Eh pa'no naman bisi-bisihan sa Halloween, ito kasi ang unang Halloween namin dito sa Canada. At dito, big deal ang okasyon na 'yan kung saan nagco-costume ng bonggang-bongga ang mga bata. Akchuli, pati matatanda hindi nagpatalo.

Mas merry ang mga bata dito kapag Halloween kesa pag Pasko kase mas marami silang nakukulimbat na treats. Pero 'di pa rin kagaya sa Pinas na bukod sa toys at candies eh nakakatanggap din ang mga bata ng pera kapag Pasko. (Sa Pasko malamang nasa loob lang kami ng bahay kase may snow na nu'n... haaay, kaka-miss tuloy ang Pasko sa Pilipinas.)

Sandamukal na treats ang nakuha ng panganay ko ('yung daughter ko ayaw mag-trick or treat, tinopak!). Hindi sila mahilig kumain ng candies and chocolates kaya itatago ko na lang at isasama sa balikbayan box. May pakinabang din pala 'yang trick or treat na 'yan.

Eto nga pala ang mga inakay ko in their costumes.

My son REIGN as The Incredible Hulk (gusto ko sana Harry Potter kaso mas gusto n'ya daw 'yan!)

My daughter SUNSHINE as Snow White.

At eto naman ang kanilang cute na cute na inang mangkukulam.

DTI finds violation in 'Wilyonaryo' segment of "Wowowee"

2008-10-30T23:58:00.000-06:00

Nahuli na naman ako sa balita. Lumabas na pala ang resulta ng investigation sa "Wilyonaryo Panloloko".

Part of the decision read: "A reasonable assessment of the existing game mechanics and procedures implemented at the time of the subject 20 August 2007 'Wilyonaryo' episode reveals that the game show segment allowed a reasonable likelihood of error and provided the host and organizers significant latitude in controlling the outcome of the contest."

Hence, the government agency ordered ABS-CBN to pay the P290,000 fine and come up with an execution of written undertaking. - pep.ph

So ano 'yun? Talagang nanloloko sila ng mga tao? Grabe naman sila. Kung ako dun sa contestant na involved, magdedemanda ako at baka sakaling mapasaakin ang 2 million or kahit ilang porsyento lang nito.

Itong video sa yuchoob kung saan pinapraktis pa nina Willie ang karumal-dumal at maitim nilang balak na panloloko, totoo ba 'to?

Hay naku! Pasintabi na sa mga kapamilya fans d'yan pero 'di ko masikmura 'yang si Willie, napaplastikan ako sa kanya pwamis! Nung sa Singapore pa kami nakatira TFC subscriber kami kasi itong si mother nature (nanay ko) ayaw ng mga lokal na palabas sa Singapore, at ayaw din n'ya ng cable programs, nosebleed daw. So sige subscribe sa TFC ($15 kada-bwan), na-notice ko lang 'tong si Willie lagi nakabalandra ang pagmumukha sa opening ng show at panay ang kanta, at 'kala mo nagcoconcert sa dami ng songs. Sige okay na 'yun, pagbigyan ang hilig sa pagkanta eh kaso mo araw-araw 'yun at 'yun din ang mga kinakanta n'ya. Faulet-ulet! Paksyet! (Rhyme?)

Tapos kadalasan pa lagi n'yang binabara at pinapagalitan ang mga co-host nya pati 'yung ibang crews. Heller! Ano'ng akala n'ya LOPEZ din ang apelyido n'ya?! Sobra pa s'yang swapang, parang gusto n'ya s'ya na ang host, s'ya na rin ang sarili n'yang co-host, direktor, crew... sa susunod magsasayaw na rin 'yan at magtututuwad gaya ni Luningning.

Ay, baka may Willie fan/s na makabasa nito, mawalang galang na pero opinyon ko 'yan. Walang pakelaman! Hep hep, hooray!

Kung dalawa ang mahal mo, piliin mo yung pangalawa. Kasi hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo talaga yung una.

Hindi porke't madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text ng wantusawa eh may gusto sayo at magkakatuluyan kayo. Meron lang talagang mga taong sadyang friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall o paasa.

Huwag magmadali sa lalaki o babae. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon, mag-iiba ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong hindi pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang maganda o nakakalibog ito. Totoong mas mahalaga ang kalooban ng tao higit sa anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan nagmumukha ding pandesal, maniwala ka.

Minsan kahit ikaw ang nakaschedule, kailangan mo pa rin maghintay, kasi hindi ikaw ang priority.

Mahirap pumapel sa buhay ng tao. Lalo na kung hindi ikaw yung bida sa script na pinili nya.

Alam mo ba kung gaano kalayo ang pagitan ng dalawang tao pag nagtalikuran na sila? Kailangan mong libutin ang buong mundo para lang makaharap ulit ang taong tinalikuran mo.

Hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohanan, at hindi lahat ng hindi mo kayang intindihin ay kasinungalingan.

Pakawalan mo yung mga bagay na nakakasakit sa iyo kahit na pinasasaya ka nito. Wag mong hintayin ang araw na sakit na lang ang nararamdaman mo at iniwan ka na ng kasiyahan mo.

Ang pag-ibig parang imburnal...nakakatakot mahulog...at kapag nahulog ka, it's either by accident or talagang tanga ka.

Biro n'yo libre 'yan ha, sabi ko sa kanya willing akong bayaran s'ya ng limpak-limpak na 1 dollar kaso tumanggi s'ya. So ang ibinayad ko na lang sa kanya ay gift cert dun sa parlor na pinagpagupitan ni Paperdoll para sa 1 year free pedicure at foot spa sa mukha. At malugod naman n'ya 'yung tinanggap.

(An entry requested by my old friend, Margie.)

Kung hindi mo mahal ang isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya.

Lahat naman ng tao sumeseryoso pag tinamaan ng pagmamahal. Yun nga lang, hindi lahat matibay para sa temptasyon.

Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang taong malapit sayo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo.

Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba.

Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang.

Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na.

Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin.

Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo. Dapat lumandi ka din.

Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang.

Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa.

Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka. Kaya quits lang.

Bakit ba ayaw matulog ng mga bata sa tanghali? Alam ba nilang pag natuto silang umibig e hindi na sila makakatulog kahit gusto nila?

Hindi lungkot o takot ang mahirap sa pag-iisa kundi ang pagtanggap na sa bilyon-bilyong tao sa mundo, wala man lang nakipaglaban para makasama ka.

Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lang yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!

Wishlist (na suntok sa buwan)

2008-10-21T12:33:00.002-06:00

Libre mangarap 'di ba? Gasgas na nga ang linyang 'yan. At least sa pangarap, you can be who you want to be. Walang pwedeng makelam. Walang pwedeng kumontra.

Naisip kong gumawa ng wishlist na may two categories:

1) Suntok Sa Buwan - mga wish na alam kong malabong matupad.
2) Pwede! - mga wish na mabababaw at may pag-asang matupad.

At ibubuking ko sa inyo ang isa kong pangarap na suntok sa buwan - ang maging cover ng FHM. Bwahaha!

Grabe kaseseksi ng mga babaeng nagiging cover ano? Pero naisip ko na 'yung iba hindi naman yata talaga ganun kaseksi at kakinis, may daya yata ang peechur nila, gaya na lang nitong si Angelica Panganiban.

Ang nagagawa nga naman ng teknolohiya, oo.

Pero ako talaga promise gusto kong maging cover ng FHM kaso sobrang labo na mangyari 'yun dahil 'di naman ako nabiyayaan ng vavavoom na katawan. Syet!

Pero eto, inilagay ko na lang ang isa sa mga peechur kong naka-tupis sa isang magazine cover generator. Tingnan n'yo nga kung papasa na at pwede nang ihanay kina Anne Curtis at Angel Locsin. lol!

In my dreams, hahaha... in my wildest dreams.

Whatever Happened To Josephine "Banig" Roberto?

2008-10-20T09:53:00.001-06:00

Dahil sa isa sa mga posts ni ka-blogger na si Bb. Alindogan kung saan nabanggit n'ya si Banig, bigla akong napa-isip, nasaan na nga ba s'ya? Matapos n'yang manalo sa Star Search sa USA nung 1989 ay wala nang naging balita pa tungkol sa kanyang career.

So, I decided to travel far and wide (via Google) para hanapin si Josephine "Banig" Roberto at alamin ang latest tungkol sa kanya.

Eto s'ya dati:

At eto na s'ya ngayon:

She's now set to release an album in Manila. 'Di naman pala s'ya tuluyang nawala sa limelight sa US kaso 'di rin s'ya sumikat ng bonggang-bongga at 'yun nga nadaig pa s'ya ni Christina Aguilera na kanyang tinalo sa Star Search n'ung araw.

Shocking News: Hormel Supplier's Cruelty To Pigs and Piglets

2008-10-18T00:03:00.003-06:00

Adobong baboy pa naman ang ulam namin kanina. Bigla tuloy akong naawa sa karneng baboy na pinagkakulo-kulo ko sa suka at toyo, sinamahan pa ng sandamukal na bawang. Sowee Babe.

Natisod ko sa news sa internet ang balitang ito. Ang pagmamaltrato sa mga inahing baboy at biik sa isang farm sa Iowa. Nag-undercover ang PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) sa nasabing farm at doon nila nakita ang pagmamalupit sa mga baboy.

'Di ko natapos panoorin ang video. Hindi kaya ng sikmura ko. MAS BABOY PA SILA SA BABOY! Sana bumaligtad ang pangyayari, ang mga taong ito ang ilagay sa kural, pakainin ng darak, katayin at gawing meatloaf, ham, sausage or bacon. Pu@#$%&*# nila!

Ang farm na ito ay supplier diumano ng...

... at ito ay ilan sa kanilang mga produktong de lata:

I'm sure naipaalam na ng PETA sa Hormel ang kanilang imbestigasyon at kung patuloy pa rin silang aangkat ng mga karneng baboy sa farm na ito eh di para na rin nilang kinunsinte ang pagmamalupit sa mga baboy.

Basahin dito ang kumpletong balita.

Parang gusto ko na lang mag-ulam ng pakbet bukas.

Natakot kasi ako.
Alam mo na, baka kasi masakit.
Pero sabi ng iba, sa una lang daw masakit.
At sabi pa nila, dapat sa bandang labas lang daw muna, pampakiliti ba.
Aba, sabi ko sa sarili ko, "okay 'to ah".
Tama nga sila, nakakakiliti nga. Ayy, hihihi!
Tapos nu'n sa loob na.
Hmm, parang medyo masakit ah.
Aray!
Teka... ilabas nga uli kasi masakit, baka magdugo.
Pero nandito na 'to eh.
So sige na lang, pasok uli.
Ayun, parang sumasarap na ah.
Hmmm, ipasok pa dapat.
Masarap din pag medyo umiikot-ikot s'ya sa loob.
Ayaaann, grabe ang sarap.
Hindi tayo naghiwalay hangga't 'di tayo parehong satisfied.
'Di ko ma-explain 'yung feeling.

Akalain n'yo ba 'tong si J.Lo, dati ang daming nag-alok na magazines para ilagay sa cover ang twins n'ya pero ang tigas ng tanggi n'ya. Noon 'yun. Ngayon, ayan at nasa People magazine na nga ang kambal. Alam n'yo ba kung magkano ibinayad sa kambal? $6M lang naman. Kesyo kaya lang naman daw lumaki ng ganu'n dahil sa tagal daw bago sila napapayag mag-asawa eh tumaas ng tumaas ang presyo kaya stupid na lang daw ang tatanggi du'n. Ayun, 'di lumabas din ang totoo, nagpataas ka lang talaga ng presyo, hitad ka!

At 'di lang 'yan, ayon sa aking reliable source na People.Com, Johnny would be earning the biggest paycheck in movie history, ang bayad sa kanya sa Pirates of the Caribbean IV ay limf*ck-limf*ck na $56 million! Syet, andami nu'n!

Sa susunod, chismax naman sa 'Pinas ang pagkakaabalahan ko.

FA - Q

2008-10-07T11:29:00.010-06:00

Uhm, 'di ko kayo minumura ha... Frequently Asked Questions yan, hiniwalay ko lang ang Q para... aahm... wala lang, para masaya! Dito ko ipo-post ang mga bagay-bagay na gumugulo sa aking isipan. Mga tanong na matagal ko ng gustong hanapan ng sagot. Gaya nito:

Siguro naman nakikita n'yo din 'yan sa kung saan-saang barberya sa kahit saang bansa. Ano ba 'yan? Okay, ang tawag d'yan ay Barber Pole. Dati inisip ko na chever lang 'yan ng mga barbero para makatawag ng pansin sa mga customer. Para bang kahit isang taong 'di marunong bumasa or malabo ang mata e malalaman n'yang may barberya sa lugar na 'yun kapag nakita n'ya ang posteng 'yan na may guhit na puti, pula at asul at umiikot-ikot.

Ayon sa aking masusing pananaliksik gamit ang internet, ang serbisyo ng barberya ay nagsimula 6,000 years bago pa isilang si PapaLord. Noon daw ang pag-gupit ng buhok, pag-ahit ng bigote/balbas, pagbunot ng ngipin, at surgery (blood letting) ay ginagawa sa isang BARBERYA. Ang tawag sa kanila ay Barber Surgeons. Sa kanilang proseso ng surgery, gumagamit sila ng puting tela na kanilang pinamumunas sa dugo ng pasyente, pagkatapos ang mga tela ay kanilang nilalabhan... eeeww, 'di pa sila sanitized noon kaya nagamit na ginagamit pa uli after labhan, eeeww uli. At dahil 'di pa rin uso noon ang Tide Ultra Laundry Detergent, kapag daw isinampay nila ang mga telang ito sa labas ng kanilang barberya ay may mga blood stains pa. At d'yan na raw nagsimulang magpabonggahan ng sinampay ang mga barbero ng kanilang mga puting tela na may mantsang kulay pula. At ngayon nga, 'syala na ang mga barber pole, dinagdagan pa nila ng kulay asul at meron pang paikot-ikot effect silang nalalaman.

So ayan, maliwanag na sa akin ang lahat.

Hanggang sa susunod na FA-Q.

Playboy Magazine for the Blind. At dahil ito ay sadyang para sa mga kalalakihang manyak na bulag, wala itong peechur ng mga babaeng nakabuyangyang. Ito ay ginagamitan ng Braille System. So, pa'no 'to makapaglalarawan upang gisingin ang kamunduhan ng isang lalakeng manyak na bulag? Siguro ganito: Isang kaaya-ayang babaeng blonde na walang saplot at kagat-labing nakaupo sa itim na sofa. Boobs, size 40 cup G. Waistline, 24 inches. Hips, 36 inches. Mga tinging nag-aanyaya ng isang libo't isang ligaya na kaya kang dalhin sa ikapitong langit.

At dahil medyo mahalay na ang naunang larawan, sundan na natin nito.

Booby Beer Cover.

Para naman ito sa mga lalakeng manyak na lasenggo.

"Good morning, thank you for calling Fuk Mi, this is Maya speaking."

Ang sagwa 'di ba?

Ayun. Nag-sorry naman sila. Pasens'ya na, tao lang, nagkakamali.
(Himasin err i-click ang peechur para lumaki.)

Oh ha, naka-T-back pa. Kaya n'yo 'yan?

Sabi ng asawa ko, 'pag naging ganyan ako kalusog, pauuwiin na lang daw n'ya 'ko sa 'Pinas.

Tatawag-tawagan na lang daw n'ya 'ko.

Para sa mga kagaya ko na inaabot ng isang oras sa paliligo dahil sa kakakanta.

S'ya ang tunay na Superhero. Sa isip, sa salita at sa pangalan.

Pagkatapos hipan lahat ni Lola ang mga kandila sa kanyang bertdey keyk, malamang isugod s'ya sa pinakamalapit na ospital.

Nang hindi pa uso ang handsfree celfone, headset, ear piece at blue tooth.

Harujoskoh, bading-ger-Z pala s'ya! Full details of this chismax here.

Crowning Glory

2008-09-25T05:06:00.006-06:00

May kasabihan nga na "A woman's hair is her crowning glory". 'Buti pa ang ibang mga babae nabiyayaan ng kaaya-ayang buhok, 'di kagaya ko na kung hindi pa magpa-rebond eh di pa dederecho ang buhok. Paksyet! Pero 'di naman porke't kulot ibig sabihin nun eh pangit na ang buhok mo, wala akong sinabing ganun, 'wag kang pikon. Ang importante malinis ang buhok mo... at ibig sabihin din nun na dapat araw-araw kang naliligo at nagsha-shampoo.

Naalala ko tuloy 'yung isa kong officemate sa Singapore dati, chekwa s'ya from Mainland China. Kapag dumarating ako sa office tuwing umaga s'yempre bagong paligo at medyo basa pa ang buhok. Napapansin pala n'ya 'yun at minsan 'di na s'ya nakatiis at kinausap n'ya 'ko.

Ms. Chekwa: Veron, why is your hair wet when you come to the office?
Ako: Well, that's because I take a bath and wash my hair every morning.
Ms. Chekwa: Oh, isn't that gonna 'hurt' your hair?

Nagulat naman ako sa sinabi n'ya. Sa loob-loob ko, hurt ka d'yan, okay ka lang?! Palibhasa sila hindi sila naliligo araw-araw at maligo man sila minsan katawan lang pinapaliguan, eeeww.

Anyhoo, tuloy ang usapan at sinimplehan ko na lang din ang sagot ko sa kanya.

Ako: No, your hair will hurt if you don't wash it everyday.

'Di na s'ya kumibo.

Pagkalipas ng mga ilang araw, sabi nya (s'yempre lahat ng dialogue n'ya may chinese accent)...

Chekwa: Hey Veron, I'm like you already, I wash my hair everyday so my hair is not hurting anymore.
Ako: That's good!

Pero sa loob-loob ko uli, "Lintek ka, na-realize mo rin ang kadugyutan mo!" lol!

- xOxO -

At dahil napag-uusapan na rin ang buhok, here are 5 ways to beat a bad hair day ayon sa wish.ca

1. Try a different part. Simply moving your part can give you a new look and change the way your hair falls.

2. Go with a ponytail or bun. Pull your hair back into a style that looks like you planned it, and add a little styling cream to control flyaways.

3. Wear a hair band or pretty hair clips. Accessories are an easy way to take control of misbehaving hair. Change your look with swept-back bangs or accentuate your part with a clip.

4. Use hairspray or dry shampoo. Add texture and volume with these hair savers.

5. Hit the shower. If all else fails, start again. Styling products can build up and make hair look dull and feel limp.

Hay naku, basta ako 'di sanay nang kung anu-ano nilalagay na burloloy sa buhok o yang mga pinapahid na 'yan. Wash and wear 'tong buhok ko, pagkaligo pupunasan ng towel tapos nu'n susuklayin and then I'm good to go.

O s'ya makaligo na muna.

Nasa iisang bahay (s'yempre) lang kami ni hubby pero kapag nasa kabilang kwarto s'ya using the laptop at nasa kabilang kwarto naman ako at gumagamit din ng computer, minsan naiisipan ng lokong 'yun na i-buzz ako at makipag-chat sa 'kin sa YM. Wala lang siguro s'yang magawang mabuti. lol!

Eto 'yung last chat namin... sobra akong natawa sa kanya kaya naisipan kong i-print screen, i-save at i-post dito. Walang malisya ha, nakakatawa lang talaga kaya gusto kong i-share, hahah!

Fall Is In The Air

2008-09-21T22:28:00.009-06:00

Today is the first day of Autumn. Ibig sabihin, malapit na ang kinatatakutan kong season - ang Winter! Palamig na nang palamig. Ang mga dahon madilaw na, 'yung iba mapula... at isa-isa na silang nalalagas. Sabi nga sa pinapanood kong... este sa pinapanood ng mga anak kong cartoon program na My Friend Rabbit, "Winter will not come until the last leaf has fallen". Totoo kaya 'yun? Hmmm, lagyan ko kaya ng glue 'yung ibang mga dahon? Para kapag 'di sila lahat nalagas eh di hindi na magwi-winter. Yeeeey!

Actually, excited din naman ako kahit papa'no sa Winter, aba ngayon lang ako makakakita at makakahawak ng snow 'noh! Siguro sa unang buhos lang ng snow ako matutuwa pero pag sandamakmak na snow na at super lamig na, 'nakngpating 'di na yata 'yun masaya ha. Dito pa naman sa Alberta umaabot ng -50 degrees ang temperature kapag winter, harujoskoh eh konti na lang malapit na yata s'yang umabot sa coldest temperature ng North Pole during Winter.

Oh well, hayaan na nga 'yang winter-winter na 'yan. Iisipin ko na lang ang White Christmas.

Everything I Needed To Know About Life, I Learned From A Jigsaw Puzzle

2008-09-20T04:31:00.000-06:00

1. Don’t force a fit. If something is meant to be, it will come together naturally.

2. When things aren’t going so well, take a break. Everything will look different when you return.

3. Be sure to look at the big picture. Getting hung up on the little pieces only leads to frustration.

4. Perseverance pays off. Every important puzzle went together bit by bit, piece by piece.

5. When one spot stops working, move to another. But be sure to come back later (see #4).

6. The creator of the puzzle gave you the picture as a guidebook.

7. Variety is the spice of life. It’s the different colors and patterns that make the puzzle interesting.

8. Working together with friends and family makes any task fun.

9. Establish the border first. Boundaries give a sense of security and order.

10. Don’t be afraid to try different combinations. Some matches are surprising.

11. Take time often to celebrate your successes—even little ones.

12. Anything worth doing takes time and effort. A great puzzle can’t be rushed.

2008-09-17T22:44:00.012-06:00

Grabe! Four months ago pa pala 'yung last post ko. Kawawa naman 'tong blog na 'to, inaamag na, lol!

Sobrang naging busy kasi ako... after nung last na post ko, hilong-talilong na kame sa pag-iimpake at sa paglakad ng kung anik-anik na papeles. At nang nandito na kame sa Canada, lalo na 'kong naging busy. Ang hirap pala maging homemaker. Pero ang sarap din pala ng hindi nagwo-work, walang boss, walang hinahabol na oras sa pagpasok, walang headset, walang kausap na mga hinayupak na customers... at higit sa lahat, marami na 'kong time ngayon sa mga inakay ko at kinakarir ko na ngayon ang pangungusina, trying hard ito, hahaha!

Aba, kahit naman pala may sapot na ng gagamba 'tong blog ko eh meron pa ring bumibisita, ang dami nga nila eh - dalawa! lol! Thank you, Mareng Tina and Jia, for dropping by kahit wala kayong nakitang bago dito.

At dahil ang last post ko ay video ni Charice Pempengco, sa aking pagbabalik, sya pa rin uli. Here are Charice's videos when she guested (again) in Oprah where she met Celine Dion. Sa sobrang hanga ni Celine sa kanya, Celine invited her to sing with her in a concert at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Galing mo Charice!

M.C.

2008-04-18T07:33:00.003-06:00

Dito sa Singapore kapag umaabsent ka sa school or sa work, ang tawag nila ay M.C. na ang ibig sabihin po ay Medical Certificate. LOL! Ampanget 'noh, pero sa totoo lang, ito ang hobby ko dito, ang mag-MC kahit wala namang sakit. Kaya eto pwede na yata akong magtayo ng botica sa dami ng naipon kong gamot, dito kasi kapag nagpunta ka sa Doctor para makakuha ng MC eh kasama na sa bayad mo yung gamot. Sa 'Pinas pag di ka pumasok sa work dahil may sakit ka (kuno) 'di mo na need mag-produce ng Med Cert... or kung absent ka naman sa school ang kelangan mo lang ay excuse letter galing sa magulang.

Eh teka, ba't ko naman naisipan na i-blog ang MC? Wala lang, eh kasi ang tagal kong naka-MC dito sa blog ko. Medyo busy-busyhan kasi ang lola nyo nitong mga nakaraang linggo. Pero ba't naman ako nage-explain eh wala namang nagtatanong, wahahah! Parang ako lang din naman yata ang nagbabasa ng sarili kong blog, harujoskoh, 'kakaawa.

Basta magbo-blog pa rin ako.

25 Truths About Time

2008-03-30T06:38:00.004-06:00

1. Time is a limited resource - you can't make more of it. But, you have more time than you need if you use it wisely.

2. You choose how to spend your time.

3. Time is elastic - you can stretch it or compress it.

4. Do what matters to you.

5. Eliminate shoulds and coulds.

6. Be early always. Take along something to read or do in case you have to wait.
7. Plan your year, months, weeks and days to help you stay focused on those things that matter most to you.

8. But, don't plan your time out to the last second. Leave time for crisis, chaos, surprises. Leave time for serendipity.

9. Slow down.

10. Set goals that matter to you - that you want to achieve.

11. Take time away from work. 100 percent away. Phone off, Blackberry off, computer off. Take time away a bit every day, a bit every week. Get away four weeks per year.

12. Live in the present. The past is gone - no matter how much time you spend agonizing over it, it will not change. If you need help letting go of the past, get it. The future isn't here yet - worrying about it will not make it better or worse. Only action taken now can make a difference.

13. When deciding what to work on, I like to think about Return On Time Invested (ROTI). ROTI is a particularly useful concept for the entrepreneurs, professionals and business owners. ROTI is simply the revenue, or profit that an activity is likely to generate divided by the time the activity will take.

14. If you are self-employed, set a dollar value on your time and choose to get it.
15. Fully handle things once. Finish them completely and permanently.

16. Say no often. Offer to help less often.

17. Under-promise.

18. Choose to associate with people and organizations who help you extract the most value out of each of your minutes. Choose not to associate with people and organizations who waste your time.

19. Solve your own problems. Let others solve their own problems.

20. On the other hand, don't be afraid to ask for help.

21. Focus. Don't multi-task. You'll get more done, and at a higher quality level.

22. Take a real break in the middle of the day.

23. Enjoy the process, not just the result.

24. Listen fully before responding. You'll waste less time answering the wrong question or responding to the wrong concern.

25. Let it be.

Semana Santa

2008-03-21T09:29:00.006-06:00

1) Pride. (Amour Propre/Mataas Na Pagtingin sa Sarili) Pride and vanity are competitive. If someone else's pride really bothers you, you have a lot of pride.
* Seeing ourselves as we are and not comparing ourselves to others is humility.

2) Envy. (Inggit/Selos) Envy resents the good others receive or even might receive. Envy is almost indistinguishable from pride at times.
* "Love is patient, love is kind…" Love actively seeks the good of others for their sake.

3) Wrath. (Galit) Anger is often our first reaction to the provocation of others. Impatience with the faults of others is related to this.
* Kindness means taking the tender approach, with patience and compassion.

4) Sloth. (Katamaran) The other sins work together to deaden the spiritual senses so we first become slow to respond to God and then drift completely into the sleep of complacency.
* Zeal is the energetic response of the heart to God's commands.

5) Greed. (Kaswapangan) Greed wants to get its "fair share" or a bit more. This is about more than money.
* Generosity means letting others get the credit or praise. It is giving without having expectations of the other person.

6) Gluttony. (Katakawan) This does not pertain only to food, but to entertainment and other legitimate goods, and even the company of others.
* Faith and Temperance accepts the natural limits of pleasures and preserves this natural balance.

7) Lust. (Kamunduhan) Lust is the self-destructive drive for pleasure out of proportion to its worth. Sex, power, or image can be used well, but they tend to go out of control.
* Self control and self mastery prevent pleasure from killing the soul by suffocation.

Slip Into Happiness

2008-03-16T06:58:00.010-06:00

I sooooo love her. Her real name is Christine Gambito, better known as HappySlip, she's an internet celebrity and a popular YouTube content provider. She became famous for her VLOGS especially the ones where she spoof members of her family. In May of 2007, she became one of the first YouTube users accepted into YouTube's revenue sharing program.

She attributes her nickname "HappySlip" to her mother's mispronunciation of "half slip". "Christine, be sure to wear your happyslip!" is her mom's constant reminder while she was growing up as a teenager. She was born and raised in Virginia, her parents are both Filipinos, she worked on and off as a nurse for about eight years, quitting only when she gave birth to her son in 2005.

This 31-year old vlogger is naturally funny and has amazing acting talents, not to mention she can sing, play the piano and guitar. In 2008, Christine was appointed by DOT as Ambassador of Tourism giving her a chance to revisit the Philippines, the first time she has been to Philippines was when she was a toddler.

These are my favorite HappySlip videos...

Heard this song from a TFC drama series just about an hour ago. Not a new song really coz back in Manila, I would hear this song on the radio every so often lalo na noong radio addict pa ako.

While multi-tasking (well, I was actually watching TV, youTubing, friendstering, etc), I was also browsing on one of my friends' blog and she has this entry about her "Wedding Songs List" and thought she might find this one nice, too.... Denise, check this out, will ya? Hope you like it!

My Husband is a Quitter

2008-02-17T06:42:00.004-07:00

Several months ago, my husband stopped smoking (or so he claimed) but I put him under probationary period. I've been nagging him to quit since Reign was born - to no avail! As in, kung alam n'yo lang, ginawa ko na lahat ng pananakot at pangongonsensya pero bigo ako. So when he vowed to stop burning his lungs, i didn't believe him. However, today is the end of his probationary period, he's now officially a quitter.

Yes, my husband is a quitter and I'm so proud of him.

Pagtanaw

2008-02-11T09:16:00.001-07:00

Pag tumulong ka ba, nage-expect ka ng kapalit? Ng bayad? Ako, hinde. Pero para sa 'kin, at least naman tumanaw ka.

Sana isipin mo naman yung mga taong tumulong sa 'yo.

Yung mga maliliit na bagay na nagpapakita na thankful ka sa tumulong sa 'yo, na kahit paano ipa-feel mo naman na hindi mo nakakalimutan na minsan nakinabang ka. Na hanggang ngayon nakikinabang ka.

Basta para sa 'kin, ang utang na loob hindi binabayaran, tinatanaw 'yan. Intiende?

Thank you for your interest, and it had better be genuine and non-sexual. Please allow four to six years for processing.

You will be contacted in writing if you are approved. Please do not try to call or write (since you probably can't, and it would cause you injury). If your application is rejected, you will be notified by two gentlemen wearing white ties carrying violin cases (you might want to watch your back) .

To prepare yourself, start studying Daddy's Rules for Dating.

Daddy's Rules for Dating

Rule One:
If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're surely not picking anything up.

Rule Two:
You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.

Rule Three:
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

Rule Four:
I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a 'Barrier method' of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five:
It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is: 'early.'

Rule Six:
I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

Rule Seven:
As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process than can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?

Rule Eight:
The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing or holding hands. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual themes are to be avoided; movies that feature chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.

Rule Nine:
Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.

Rule Ten:
Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit the car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

To Blog Or Not To Blog

2008-01-29T13:27:00.002-07:00

I wanted to start this blog on my 26th (?!) birthday... err, okay, no one would believe me with that I'm-only-26-years-old crap anymore. Anyways, i just want my first official post to fall on a significant date as my birth date, however, i wasn't able to do it since I have been working on late shift in the past couple of weeks (yup, I was even working until 2am on my birthday! Poor me!).

Okay, so what's with this blog? Nothing much really, I just feel like journalling my thoughts, ideas, opinions, the happenings in my life, my family, friends and anything that sneaks into my braincells. I just hope I would always have the time to update this though.
