Pag wala ako magawa or pag tinatamad sa ginagawa ko, mahilig ako magbasa ng mga status messages and napansin ko karamihan Bob Ong quotes (or so they say) ang gamit nila. Naenganyo tuloy ako maghanap sa net ng mga ganun and here are the quotes I found.

Note: not verified as Bob Ong quotes.

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

“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.”

“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.”

"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.”

“Kailangan mo rin pala ng lakas ng loob para sabihin mong mahina ka.”

“Iba ang tinititigan sa tinitingnan.Ang tinititigan, sa isang bahagi lang nakatingin.Ang tinitingnan buong bahagi ang sinusuri.Iba rin ang iniintindi sa inuunawa.Ang iniintindi, pinipilit sa isipan.Ang inuunawa alam kung bakit dapat ipilit sa isipan.Kung kaya dapat:Tinitingnan ang mga bagay para maunawaanat hindi titigan lang at intindihin.."

“Kapag pinag-aagawan ka malamang maganda o gwapo ka. Sumama ka sa mabuti, hindi sa mabait. Sa marunong hindi sa matalino. Sa mahal ka, hindi sa gusto ka.”

“walang taong manhid…hindi niya lang talaga maintindihan kung ano ang gusto mong iparating dahil ayaw mo siyang diretsuhin..”

“kahit ikaw ay parang bato na manhid at walang pakiramamdam, mag ingat-ingat ka naman, dahil kahit ganyan ka, hindi nasasaktan, kaya mo namang makasakit”

"Hikayatin mo lahat ng kakilala mo na magkaroon ng kahit isa man lang paboritong libro sa buhay nila. Dahil wala nang mas kawawa pa sa mga taong literado pero hindi nagbabasa."

Hindi mo dapat maliitin ang kakayahan mong tsumamba.

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

I'm Yours

2008-11-02T20:54:00.000+08:00

You've touched these tired eyes of mine
And mapped my face line by line
And some how growing old feels fine
I listen close for I'm not smart
You wrap your thoughts and works of art
And there hanging on the walls of my heart.

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours.

And though my edge is maybe rough
I never feel I'm quite enough
And it may not seem like very much
But I'm yours.

You healed these scars over time
And braced my soul, you loved my mind
Your the only angel in my life
The day the news came, my best friend died
My knees went weak, and you saw me cry
Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes.

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours.

And though my edge is maybe rough
I never feel I'm quite enough
And it may not seem like very much
But I'm yours.

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I don't fit in that much
But I'm yours.

Let's get it started

2008-11-01T08:10:00.004+08:00

Just this week, I tried to be a little bit more independent by moving out of our house... for the first time. The longest time that I was away was 5 days, that was when we went to Cebu and Bohol... Come to think of it, I've been away for 2 weeks maybe. But I was very young then, and I was with them, we were in Masbate.But now, I really moved out. I brought all of my things (or almost). Hope everything turn out well...

It's the start of the NBA Season, meaning... Start na ng NBA Fantasy League! This season will be interesting for me.

I'm part of a 16-team league! Man, that was the toughest draft. After round 5, I just pick from the pool for the sake of getting a player to complete my line-up. And the best part? My 2-3-4th picks are all injured!

I'm also with a 12-team league and my team here is very promising, taking out the injury factor of course. I have a feeling that i can win it all here.

Nov 4 will be the start of The Red Cup... I've to have a planner before Dec 7. ehehe..

You know you love me, XOXO...

Mas mabilis talaga ang oil price hike kesa sa oil price rollback...

September na pala, bakit kaya di pa din sinisimulan yung paghuhukay sa pioneer woodlands?

Sobrang dami ng tao sa mrt ngayon, wala na ata nagba-bus papasok eh. Mas tipid kasi saka walang trapik.

Magaganda yung mga buses na biyaheng Fairview, parang provincial bus.

Malapit na pala magawa ang SM annex, may mga nakaabang na atang hagdan silang ginawa para sa pag extend ng MRT hanggang monumento. Sana matuloy yun.

Ngayon pala ang start ng season ng mga TV series. Gusto ko na mapanood ang House. Saka Gossip Girl. hahaha. Kasalanan mo kaya ko gusto panoorin ang Gossip Girl.

September na, lapit ka na umuwi. Magaabot naman tayo siguro bago ako makaalis if ever.

Ang dami dami nang nagko-concert sa pinas na foreign artists/bands.

Masaya magpatakbo ng mabilis sa expressway. Kaso ayaw ko pa din lumagpas ng 160kph. Baka hulihin na ako eh.

Ang laki ng difference ng price sa ministop/7-11/Select/Treats etc. kesa sa grocery. The price you pay for convenience, 20% of grocery price.

Di ako nakapanood ng Eheads concert. Maganda daw eh, kaso lang maiksi lang. Dapat daw 30 songs. Sayang.

Puro love story saka comedy na lang dapat ang mga ginagawang movies ng mga pinoy. Dapat wag na ung may CGI na kelangan. Nakakainis lang eh, low tech.

Sobrang init ng umaga kahapon, balewala yung aircon ng kotse. Nung hapon naman sobrang dilim.

30 pesos a day lang pag cadet, pamasahe lang kulang pa yun eh, tapos utusan ka pa.

$6000 allotment ng mga seaman. Hmmm... Magbarko na lang kaya ako?

Sobrang dami na ng mga kantang foreign na ni-translate sa tagalog or local dialects. Nagsawa na ata ang pinoy sa pag revive ng kanta, localization naman ang trip natin.

wa me balow (wa me balow)d i kad2 mka hillo low low low…..

Naging topic sa preaching sa church namin yung ideal man/wife. Kala ko dati ideal man na ko, yun pala di pwedeng matangkad at gwapo lang.

Yung mga sequel movies ngayon di na gumagamit ng II, III, etc. Yung second title na lang talaga ang magdi-distinguish ng movie. Hirap na tuloy malaman kung ano ung pagkakasunod sunod ng mga sequels.

Yung eheads concert dapat walang bayad yun eh, kaso daw pinigilan ng government na magsponsor ang cigarette brand.

Speaking of sponsorship, tingin ko kaya nawala ang fame ng cycling tour sa philippines dahil dun eh. Maganda pa naman yung tour.

Di na masyado mahirap sumakay ng FX samin ngayon. Usually after christmas break pa kumokonti ang pumapasok ng maaga eh.

Gusto ko yung mga songs about love pero ayaw ko ng love songs. Sa videoke ko lang kinakanta yun.

Namimiss na talaga kita.

Nakakairita yung mga lalaking gumagamit ng "u" instead of "ikaw", "mo" saka ng "me" instead of "ako", "ko". Sa babae, i can tolerate. Pero pag lalaki ganyan magtext nababadingan ako. "Hay, naiinis me sa ganun. U ba hindi?"

Makauwi na nga, para maaga makarating ng bahay. Makatulog ng mahaba

...Sorry na wag kang madadala

Alam kong medyo nahihirapan ka

Na ibigin ang isang katulad kong parang timang

Na paulit-ulit kang hindi sadyang nasasaktan

Sorry na saan ka pupunta?

Please naman wag kang mawawala

Kapag ako ay iwan mo mamamatay ako

Pagkat hawak mo sa iyong kamay ang puso ko

Mahal kita sobrang mahal kita

Wala na akong pwedeng sabihin pang iba

Kundi sorry talaga di ko sinasadya

Talagang sobrang mahal kita

Wag kang mawawala

Sorry na

I told you before I won't make that decision if I'm not 100% sure na ikaw na talaga...

When it rains it pours

2008-06-24T14:21:00.003+08:00

After experiencing one of the happiest moments of my life, I feel like I'm going downhill. Problems came one after the other and I can't seem to think of a solution for any of it. I feel helpless, but then I remembered that God won't give us trials we can't bear... after all, what's faith for if you're not gonna use it, right? I know, by July I'll be back on top and better than ever.

Bible says:

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1)"

"Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. (Psalm 55:22)"

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)"

And as this very popular song says:

"Gulong ng buhay! patuloy-tuloy sa pagikot. Noon ay nasa ilalim... Sana bukas nasa ibabaw naman!"

hehehe…

Dawn Watch Prayer

2008-06-06T09:08:00.002+08:00

At last, I was able to attend the Dawn Watch Prayer (5am-6am) at our Church's mission house. It has been forever since that activity started and I was not able to participate until now. This activity is intended specifically for praying for the prayer requests of our brethrens, but today was different. Instead of asking for blessings, we gave praising and thanksgiving to God.

An hour long of worshipping and singing.

There was no more that I could ask at that moment and I can say that all my expectations were met. This truly was a memorable experience for me. I'm not saying that I don't want to pray for my brothers and sisters in faith but I want to give back to God as much as possible by saying our thanks and this event made it possible for me to do so.

I'd say, i'll do this regularly. :)

Wala lang... ehehe

Kumusta? Nagparamdam ka ah.
Eto malungkot... Wala na kami eh. Di ko alam kung maaayos pa.
Ha? Bakit?
Mahirap kasi magpatawad ng paulit ulit...

Sagutin mo na siya, gusto mo naman na di ba?
Gusto ko pag sinagot ko mahal ko na.
Pano mo malalaman na mahal mo na?
Ewan ko, malalaman ko din yun...

Aalis ka daw? San ka pupunta?
Ang bilis talaga kumalat ng balita, kanino mo nalaman? Oo, aalis ako. Para makalimot.
Malimot ang ano? Kelan?
Di pa sigurado kung kelan. Basta, kelangan ko lang talaga makalimot...

Pare, mahal ko talaga siya eh. Tingin mo ba gusto nya din ako?
Eh di ba nakakasama mo naman lumabas? Pinupuntahan ka pa nga sa office di ba?
Oo nakakalabas kami, nahahawakan ko pa nga kamay niya eh.
Yun naman pala eh, may chance ka nyan! Konting tiyaga lang.
Sana nga meron...

Ano ba mga pinag-aawayan ninyo? Third party ba yan?
Hindi ko alam eh, hindi ako sigurado.
Bakit ano ba meron?
Nakita ko lang na magulo yung buhok ng babaeng kasama niya.
May point ka ngang magalit...

Hindi kita masusundo ngayon, kita na lang tayo sa mall.
Bakit? Umuulan pa ba dyan?
Hindi na kaso wala ako masakyan papunta dyan, mahihirapan ako.
Hindi pa nga tayo, nahihirapan ka na agad na sunduin ako.
Ok, sige wag na lang. Uuwi na lang ako.
Ok, nandito na ko sa mall eh...

Gising ka pa ba? Wala kasi ako makausap, pauwi pa lang ako ng bahay.
Yup, gising pa ko. San ka na niyan? Punta ka dito.
Saan 'yan? Sige. Hintay mo ko ha? Wag ka aalis. FX na ko malapit na sa'min. Saan banda yan? Uwi muna ko kunin ko lang ang auto ko.
Ok. Nandito ko sa bar. I'll wait for you.
Ok, give me 45mins to get there.
Sure, thanks. Malungkot lang talaga ako...

I love you...
Ehehe, nagbibiro ka naman eh.
Totoo, mahal kita. Eh ako ba mahal mo?
Masyado pang maaga para masabi 'yan...

Tingin mo ba itutuloy pa natin ito? Tingin mo ba it's still worth it?
I'll leave that decision sa'yo. Just think about it.
Ayaw mo na ba maayos 'to?
Pwede ba? Minsan naman ikaw ang magdesisyon. Lagi na lang ako...

Hey, kinakabahan ako. Balak ko na siya ipakilala sa parents ko.
Eh di good, pakilala mo na. Siguro kayo na noh?
Tangek, hindi noh? Kelangan ko muna ng opinion from my mom before ko isipin kung sasagutin ko.
Kunyari pa 'to. Anyway, good luck. Sana maging ok lahat...

Balita ko nanliligaw yung friend mo sa friend ko ah.
Talaga? Lakas na ng loob ah. Pero imposible kasi ang alam ko may GF un eh.
Eh bakit niya nililigawan? Naku, di maganda yan. Baka niloloko n'ya lang friend ko.
Di nya siguro gagawin un, tatanungin ko pag nagkita kami...

Pambihira naman eh, ang tagal ko na naghihintay wala pa din.
Ano ba sabi sa'yo?
Kung mahal ko daw talaga siya, maghintay ako. Eh isang taon na ko naghihintay.
Sabagay, ang tagal na nga nun. Di na ata maganda yun.

I feel so empty. Bakit ngayon pa nangyari 'to?
Bakit? Ano na ba nangyari?
Dapat dati ko pa ginawa 'to, dapat nung di ko pa iniisip future namin being together.
Ganyan talaga, dapat nating tanggapin un.
Bakit kasi kung kelan pa nagiging maayos takbo ng buhay ko saka pa nagkaganito...

Ano, sinagot mo na ba? Nakita na siya ng parents mo di ba?
Yup, nakita na. Sinagot ko na din siya. Kinakabahan nga ako nung pinakilala ko eh.
Wow! May boypren ka na. Yihee.
Tangek! Matagal ko na sinagot, nahihiya lang ako sabihin sa'yo...

Hey, kumusta ka na? Di na tayo nakakapagusap ah.
Ok lang.
Bakit parang biglang nagbago? Parang ayaw mo na ko kausapin.
...
Nandyan ka pa b?
...

So ano na? Bakit umayaw ka na?
Wala naman ako napapala eh, saka may nahanap na ko na iba.
Baka naman rebound lang yan? Kawawa naman yung babae.
Hindi, mahal ko na sya. Saka tingin ko mas bagay kame, pareho kame ng gusto.
Sana nga mahal mo talaga siya. Pano pag bumalik yung isa?
Di na babalik yun.

Hay, ganito na lang talaga siguro kami.
Bakit? For sure na ba yan?
Parang wala naman siya gusto gawin eh, parang balewala lang sa kanya.
O? Hindi naman siguro, baka nagiisip-isip lang.
Bahala na, ayaw ko na talaga umasa...

Ano kumusta na? Kumusta ang buhay may boypren?
Okay naman kame, nag monthsary na nga kame eh.
Cool! Eh di may gift kayo sa isa't-isa?
Oo, nakakatuwa nga eh, ganun pala yun noh?
Ang ano?
Yung ma-in love...

Nakakainis! Malapit na siya umalis tapos di ko alam kung bakit ayaw niya ako kausapin.
Bakit? Teka, sabi sakin ng kaibigan nya nililigawan mo daw siya ah.
Talaga? Well, balak ko pero kumukuha pa lang ako ng tiyempo.
Eh di ba may GF ka?
Matagal na kami wala nun, di ko ba nasabi sayo? Teka, sinabi mo ba yun sa kaibigan nya?
Oo, kaya sabi ko di mo liligawan yung friend nya.
Ah... kaya pala...

Hey, may tsismis ako ah.
Tungkol san? Good news ba yan?
Siguro good news, kung gusto mo pa din. Sabi niya kasi mahal ka na din daw nya.
Ngaks, san mo naman nalaman yan?
Sabi ng kaibigan nya, so ano? Liligawan mo na ba ulit siya?
Hindi na. I'd rather be with the one I have right now kesa masaktan pa ko ulit sa kanya...

What's on your desktop?

2007-11-26T15:50:00.000+08:00

Tagged by Freya a while ago.

Here's my desktop:

As you can see, I don't have a wallpaper since I am doing Remote Desktop from my lab pc. But my wallpaper is also an Andy Warhol very much like Freya's but just 2 columns. ehehe. Thanks to Freya for it by the way :) Nothing special in the icons displayed on my desktop. On the left side, almost all of the folders and icons are work related (skype, Divx, Yahoo Mail, etc. eheheh) then on the right side, my useless Recycle Bin which I don't use since every file I delete, I use shift+delete. ehehe There. I have nothing more to say to describe my desktop. No helpful or fancy applications, just plain old typical desktop.

Rules:

1. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.

One Year

2007-11-12T19:45:00.000+08:00

November na! I'm almost a year old working here in my current company... Just wanna reminisce on my first few days here. My first day, I was introduced to the Test Group and of course I wasn't able to recall all their names except for Almer, who was the one who "convinced" me to leave my old one, hahaha and Dennis. Why Dennis? Because he's our Lab Admin so I have to remember his name else I won't be able to ask for devices and materials needed for training. ehehe. And of course Oyette, my cube mate. I used to think of the name "Boyet" to remember her name. Nakakahiya naman kapag hindi ko kilala yung katabi ko di ba? First impression... I thought I'll have a hard time adjusting to their work attitude since I thought they are very serious with regards to work since most of the people here are older than me, and honestly I thought I'll be bored working here, but it turned out as the exact opposite! There was never a dull time in the laboratory whenever all of us are inside. We're just a group of friends having a good time while doing our jobs. Adjustments... Then I was bringing lunch to the office but since no one is bringing theirs, I was forced to buy my lunch each day. Buti na lang medyo kaya na ng budget ko. eheheh. Another is long lunch outs. I'm not used to going out for long lunch or just going out of the office. The only times I did that back then was to go to interviews. harharhar. What else? Hmmm... Friday gimiks, is it considered gimik or just inuman sessions? Dati, all I know was good clean fun but now gumigimik-gimik na. Naks, teenager na ko! hahaha But of course hanggang dun lang ako, I never go out with them if they go to hubad-hubad's. Hahaha. Wholesome pa din ako. O:-) Anyway, yun lang... I'm just glad I gained more friends and kept the ones from my old company. Do I want to gain more friends again? Hmmm... We'll see. :D

You can't really always get what you want... Even if you are willing to sacrifice the other for that something, sometimes it just doesn't matter.

September

2007-09-26T13:22:00.000+08:00

It's almost the end of September and this is just my first blog of the month? Nothing worth blogging? Nah... I'm just too busy with my work that's why. And since our due date has been extended for another 2 months, I had time to slip in this blog to my busy busy schedule. (naks, parang totoo). What should I write about? Hmmm... I can't think of anything! Just kidding.

Drive me crazy

How to be a good driver... This has been our topic at the office for quite some time now 'coz two of my officemates just bought cars and they have recently just finished their driving lessons so they're not that good yet. Everytime we go out for lunch, we force them to bring their cars so they can practice. And during the ride, we all have our opinions on how to drive "expertly". I noticed that each of us has his/her own "diskarte" when it comes to how to accelerate, when to step on the brakes, when to change gear, when to overtake, when to change lanes, so on and so forth. So, how can you be a good driver? Well, just do your thing and as long as you don't obstruct traffic and not be a pain in the ass to other drivers then you are a good driver.

Going abroad

Karamihan sa mga kakilala ko ay may mga plano na umalis ng ating bansa upang magtrabaho para makapag-ipon o dili kaya'y manirahan na ng tuluyan sa isang banyagang bayan... Bakit? Sabi nila, wala na daw pag-asang yumaman dito sa pinas. Maliit ang sweldo, madaming iskwater, malubha ang pulusyon, magulo ang pulitika at madami pang ibang negatibong bagay. Pero hindi kaya nila naiisip na baka ganun din siguro sa ibang bansa? Sabagay, hindi mo naman iyon malalaman hangga't hindi mo pa nasusubukan. Pero kung ako ang tatanungin nila kung gusto ko mag-abroad, buong pagmamalaki kong sasabihin na wala akong plano. Bakit? Unang-una, nandito ang pamilya ko, girlfriend ko saka mga kamag-anak ko. Malamang ang sasabihin sakin eh pwede ko naman silang isama dun kapag maganda na ang estado ko sa buhay. Ang tanong, magiging maganda nga ba? Kahit sabihin natin na yumaman ako doon, hindi naman ako magiging first class citizen doon kahit kailan. Isa pa, maayos naman na ang trabaho ko dito eh, at makakahanap din naman ako ng mas mataas na sweldo sa ibang kumpanya kung sa tingin ko ay di sapat ang kinikita ko ngayon. Mababa ang pangarap ko? Hindi, gusto ko din syempre yumaman, gusto ko din magkaroon ng malaking bahay at magagandang sasakyan, mapag-aral sa mga kilala at mamahaling unibersidad ang mga anak ko. Pero hindi ko nakikita na magagawa ko iyon sa ibang bansa na kasama sila, mas malaki ang posibilidad na magawa ko un ng nandito sa pinas. Ano sa tingin nyo?

Laugh story

2007-08-10T10:39:00.000+08:00

Disclaimer: This was just sent to me by my officemate and I have no idea who the author of this article/story is. Read along.

We' ve been friends for a long time ago. We come from the same alma mother. Actually, our paths crossed one time on another. But it's only now that I gave him a second look. I realized that beauty is in the eyes. The pulpbits of my heart went fast, really fast. Cute pala siya. And then, he came over with me. He said, "I hope you don't mine. Can I get your number?" Nag-worry ako. What if he doesn't give it back? He explained naman na it's so we could keep intact daw. Sabi ko, connect me if i'm wrong but are you asking me ouch? Nabigla siya. Sagot niya, The! Aba! Parang siya pa ang galit! Persona ingrata!!! Ang kapal niya! I cried buckles of tears.

Na-guilty yata siya. Sabi niya, isipin mo na lang na this is a blessing in the sky. Irregardless daw of his feelings, we'll go ouch na rin. Now, we're so in love. Mute and epidemic na ang past. Thanks God we swallowed our fried. Kasi, I'm 33 na and I'm running our time. After 2 weeks, he plopped the question. "Will you marriage me?" I'm in a state of shocked. Kasi mantakin mo, when it rains, it's four! This is true good to be true. So siyempre, I said yes. Love is a many splendor.

Pero nung inaayos ko na ang aming kasal, everything swell to pieces. Nag-di-dinner kami noon nang biglang sa harap ng aming table, may babaeng humirit ng, "Well, well, well. Look do we hav e here." What the fuss! The nerd ng babaeng yon! She said they were still on. So I told her, whatever is that, cut me some slacks! I didn't want this to get our hand kaya I had to sip it in the bud. She accused me of steeling her boyfriend. Ats if! I don't want to portrait the role of the other woman. Gosh, tell me to the marines! I told her, "please, mine you own business!" Who would believe her anyway?

Dahil it's not my problem anymore but her problem anymore, tumigil na rin siya ng panggugulo. Everything is coming up daisies. I'm so happy. Even my boyfriend said liketwice. He's so supportive. Sabi niya, "Look at is this way. She's our of our lives." Kaya advise ko sa inyo - take the risk. You can never can tell. Just burn the bridge when you get there. Life is shorts. If you make a mistake, we'll just pray for the internal and external repose of your soul. I second emotion.

Happy Birthday

2007-08-05T19:50:00.000+08:00

Birthday ko ngayon! ehehehe. What an eventful weekend it had been. First, I'll talk about the gift I got... When asked about what gift I want, I usually say "surprise me" and what do you know, I was really surprised with the second gift (basketball shoes was the first one :)) from my baby. She gave me shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush and bath soaps... ordinary you might say, but the reason she gave me those was because we were talking the other day and was planning to go to the groceries to buy such... she just beat me to the punch. No one else can think of that gift but her that's why I love her so much. *wink* *wink*

We were watching The Simpsons yesterday - it was a funny funny movie by the way when suddenly I smelled something burning so I stood up to look for it and I found my chair smoking! I went down to look for a guard to tell him about it. Afterwards, he told us to transfer seats, I was opting to seat near the exit but we were escorted to the available reclining chairs (aka Lazyboy) and even though it was against our will, we obliged (hahaha). Great seats for less than Php200... Good deal!

After the movie, we went to Eastwood Libis to play bowling with Randy and Cel. We played by pair and it seems like an even match in papers (naks!) but we are just soooo good for them. We took them to school (check this out). I felt sorry for them in thinking that they can beat us. hahaha. Joke lang. Afterwards, we played electronic darts. Yeah, it would have been better if it was the cork one. Next time we'll play badminton naman. (Naks, sports-minded).

Then when I was on my way home, there was a traffic congestion along EDSA. The cars were moving slowly as they seem to be avoiding a part of the road. I thought there was another road repair going on but as I passed by, I saw a bloody dead guy. He may be a victim of hit-and-run because there was no car parked on the side instead there was an MMDA truck. Well, I'm not saying that he deserved it but, he gambled on crossing EDSA through the road instead of using the footbridge and sadly, he payed the price. I pity the guy who ran over that man, though it was all the dead guy's fault, still all the blame's on him.

Happy ang Birthday ko

2007-07-30T21:18:00.000+08:00

A week in advance...

Can you hear me?

2007-07-17T20:13:00.000+08:00

I hate it! I can barely hear through my right ear! waaaaah! And I have to wait until next week for it to be checked... I'm having a hard time listening to persons talking to my right. The bad thing about it is that my work PC in the lab is at the left corner. So each time someone approaches me to ask for something I have to turn around to hear him clearly. Hmmm... I hope that it's just earwax that causes this and not a permanent hearing impairment. Good luck to me.

All-Star Weekend

Francine Prieto, Ian Veneracion, Aiko Melendez, Jen Rosendhal, and Jackie Manzano had the privilege of seeing us in person as we stroll around Serendra. Must be their lucky day. eheheh

Another one bites the dust

2007-07-05T08:35:00.000+08:00

Life is too short some say, so let's live it meaningfully. Yesterday, I was told that another one of our neighbors died. Yes, another one. There were three, as far as I know, who died in our neighborhood. The first one was stabbed, the other one fell on the floor of the bathroom (they said it was a heart attack) and the third died of "bangungot". All in a span of a week. Makes me think how they lived their lives. Are they good people? Are they church goers? And if they are, do they really believe and obey God? Have they done their purpose in life? Are they satisfied? Questions that I obviously won't get answers to. Life-- we really don't know how long it will last. We just have to live it to its fullest extent but also keeping in mind about what will happen after death. We have to let no opportunities pass by and seize everyday of our lives by being radical but inspirational, partying hard but with holiness and being lovers of ourselves with the same love for others. Life is a preparation for our death and death is the start of our after life.

Even at our birth, death does but stand aside a little. And every day he looks towards us and muses somewhat to himself whether that day or the next he will draw nigh... - Robert Bolt

Sickness sucks!

2007-07-03T11:08:00.000+08:00

What I missed because of sickness:

1. Basketball with officemates.
2. ~~Bowling with Freya's friends.~~
3. Lunch out for project release. (was waiting for this for a long time)
4. Health and Beauty seminar. (church sponsored)
5. Puerto Galera. (our last chance to go to the beach!)

Oh well, that's life. But on the brighter side, we were able to watch Transformers on reclining seats at Trinoma cinema over the weekend. It made me want to be an Autobot. So from now on, you can call me Turones Prime. ehehe

Scratched-out number 2 'coz we went bowling with them last night! Funny thing was, there's this kid on the other lane which has almost the same clothes as mine. (with matching bowling shoes). We can't help but laugh every time the kid and I are on the bowling lanes at the same time. Anyway, just look at the pic. :)

Stranger than Fiction

2007-06-25T10:25:00.000+08:00

Last Friday, we watched Stranger Than Fiction DVD while she's on shift. The movie is about a guy, which is played by Will Ferrell, who is a loner and an OC in the sense that he counts each step or move he makes every single day and he sticks to his routines by the numbers. The twist in the story is that his life is being narrated by an author who thinks that her character on her latest book is just fictional. She narrates what the guy is doing at the exact same moment that he is doing it, and his life's turnout depends on what she'll write next. I won't try to critique the movie 'coz honestly I don't know how. eheheh. But all I can say is that it is a very nice movie and worth every penny, yet I don't think it will gross well if shown on the big screen due to lack of spectacular visual effects, surprising twists and laugh-out-loud comedies. Just a shallow drama with a hint of romance and comedy. Watch it! :)

Another movie we watched over the weekend, The Invisible. A friendly advice, never ever watch or even attempt to watch this film. Don't ask why, just take my advice. ehehe

By the way, I bought a car stereo. Finally! Nahiya kase ako sa mga sasabay samin papuntang Tagaytay eh. ehehe. And with so much excitement, I stayed until 3 in the morning installing it. (thanks to SM appliance center who doesn't offer free installation) Crap! Anyway, worth the effort. :)

And one more, got new pair of shoes!
Thanks babe!

From Qave to Ortigas

2007-06-22T11:06:00.000+08:00

Nothing ruins a day like a heavy traffic... Especially when you leave your house early to make sure that you won't be late for work.

From Quezon Ave to Ortigas Ave in first gear most of the time... Nothing beats that.

There goes my perfect attendance for the month. I just hope the grace period applies. Sayang ang 5K. hahaha

Buti na lang Friday. :)

Maxville Magic

2007-06-21T13:41:00.000+08:00

King DJ Logan left Magic and his show Boys' nightout for 103 and a half FM(i think it's easier if it is just pronounced as 103.5). And since he is on from 8-12mn I can't help but switch between the 2 stations to hear both shows and unfortunately, compare them. I had this presumption that if ever Logan leave Magic, he can still run a good program by himself and Boys' nightout would become boring and I may never listen to them again. But lo and behold, Boys' nightout did a pretty good show compared to what Logan offered on his Logan's Alley show. In fairness to him, it's just his pilot run so let's wait and see, but man, he should get another Slick Rick and Toni Tony in his show quick to make it an interesting one.

But it would be a lot better if they reunite again so that I don't have to change stations every now and then during their programs. I might be forced to buy another receiver so that I can listen to them both. ehehehe.

LeBroomed!

2007-06-15T13:13:00.000+08:00

What's the best way to win a championship? Yeah, via sweep baby! ehehehe. The San Antonio Spurs are the 2007 NBA Champions! Too bad it wasn't Manu who won the finals MVP, but better Tony Parker than Tim Duncan for me. I hate Duncan when it comes to Finals MVP, coz i still feel that he robbed Manu Ginobili of it in 2005 Finals. eheheh. Anyway, just wait a little longer LeBron for your NBA championship. Wait until the San Antonio's big three disband and Dwyane Wade becomes injured again. eheheh

Think about this, Spurs vs Heat in the finals... Great!

Kudos to San Antonio for winning their 4th in 9 years!

Bowling etc.

2007-06-12T16:39:00.000+08:00

Had our Bowling tournament at Eastwood, Libis. Won the mixed doubles category (yeah!)

and then...

Watched Ocean's 13 at GPC! Tsalap!

and then...

Keep moving forward!!! Good movie!

Nice eh?

And lastly...

San Antonio beat Cleveland going up 2-0 in the series. LeBroom? We'll see. ehehehe

Good times!

Productive Week

2007-06-08T16:00:00.000+08:00

Productive noh? eheheeh

At Last!

2007-06-05T13:31:00.000+08:00

Finally we did it! Whew! We've been planning it since forever. At first, we were hesitant to do it mainly because of how other people view this. They say it's not a good idea to do it outside of marriage because of the consequences it will cause if ever we decided to part ways. But hey, we're getting older. We have to know how to do it while we are young so the hell with them! We've done it!

The Finals

2007-06-04T20:54:00.000+08:00

And the stage is all set. It will be Cleveland against San Antonio. I just hope Cavaliers will make this series an interesting one. And trust me, they can. With King James having a phenomenal playoffs and a supporting cast that believes in him, they can give San Antonio a run for their money. But of course, experience will play a big part. With Duncan, Ginobili, Parker combination against James, Ilgauskas and Gibson, yeah Gibson, I don't think Hughes will play a big role in this series, it would be fun to watch if the old ones will bring the young ones to school or the first timers' energy and hunger will overcome the veterans' confidence. Let's just wait and see how it unveils. Can't wait for Friday!

My prediction? Spurs in 5.

NBA Semifinals

2007-05-31T13:26:00.000+08:00

And the San Antonio Spurs are back in the Finals! Yeah baby! Who will be their opponent? Yet to be decided, they're tied 2-2. But hopefully Cleveland will advance. It would be a very boring NBA Finals if Spurs and Pistons collide. Hmmm.. Come to think of it, their series went to distance with of course San Antonio winning the 2005 NBA Finals. Oh well, whether Detroit or Cleveland, in the end San Antonio will still win the Larry O'Brien trophy. Go Spurs!

Useless fact: The trophy is created each year in the Tiffany & Co. Silver Shop.

First timer

2007-05-29T15:54:00.001+08:00

I went to our church event last Saturday for the married couples as I was asked to be an usher (hard choice). Though it was my first time to be one, I did have a good time. It was fun to watch old and new couples renewing their vows to each other. Some are eye to eye, some don't even look at each other, some with tears, some with smiles on their faces, some are hugging, some holding hands. Yun lang. eheheh

Sexy Time!

2007-05-16T11:36:00.001+08:00

I was listening to The Boys' Nightout at Magic 89.9 last night while I was on my way home. They have Brando Braganza on the show telling old school pick-up lines to a lady caller. It was so funny that even though I was riding an FX at that time, I can't help but laugh... Not that they are all funny lines but the way Brando delivered it. Swabe! Sexy time. Hahaha. Idol! Here are some of the pick-up lines I remembered (not the exact words though):
"Di ka pa ba napapagod? Kasi buong araw, ikaw ang tumatakbo sa isip ko."
"Sana letter T na lang ako... Para I'm always right beside U."
"Sana exam mo na lang ako... Para sagutin mo na ako."
"Ako ang iyong scientist at ikaw ang Lab ko."
And this tops them all:
"Kelangan mo ng salbabida, dahil malulunod ka sa pagmamahal ko."

Even the radio tabloid segment was so funny. Man, that was the funniest radio show I've ever heard.

Anytime... is sexy time.

Some ranting

2007-05-15T13:35:00.000+08:00

It's just disappointing that you spent your weekend and a holiday in the office hoping that the project will be released on time. But then when you get to work the next day, you learned that it will be moved to another date. Bad thing about it is that we tentatively have to AGAIN spend our weekend working.

Elections 2007

2007-05-14T13:14:00.000+08:00

I exercised my right... I voted! Ehehe.
Have you?

Then I went straight to work... Sad. No weekends or holiday for me. Pera na naman 'to!! hahaha

Hot-headed me

2007-05-11T10:30:00.000+08:00

I was driving to our house yesterday when a bicycle knocked on my car. At first I just let it go, I even said "Tulog, walang tao" and just laughed it off. But when I was about to turn left to our subdivision he again knocked, even harder, and by that time all my blood went to my head and instead of turning left i went after him and intentionally bumped his bike, lucky for him he's on the side of the road, if not, I would have ran him over (which's really my intention then). He was taunting me to get out of the car after that, I would have gladly obliged if not for my mom and my aunt who held me to my seat. If I had come out, I don't know what I have done to him with all the rage I had then. (yabang noh? eheheh).

This incident made me realize that I have a VERY short fuse. I badly need to work on this. Any suggestions how?

2nd round

2007-05-10T13:34:00.000+08:00

Oh well, Miami is out, and so is Dallas... Go San Antonio!!

And there's more!

2007-05-10T11:37:00.000+08:00

Just add 8,000php and your car will receive a whole body paint job. Voila! It will look like brand-new again! With wide variety of colors to choose from. But wait! There's still more! Accept the offer today and you will also receive free detailing! What an irresistible offer!

I'll grab it now! ehehe

Does your car need a new paint job? IM me. hahaha

Cost of the accident

2007-05-09T10:25:00.000+08:00

what will you do with sixteen thousand pesos in hand?

buy a nice car stereo.
buy a 3G cellular phone.
buy a 60gig ipod.
buy a set of mag wheels.
buy a digital camera.

or pay for the repair of damages to your car.

to YOU, thanks for the help. :)

Imagine this, while on top of a downhill road, your car lost its brakes and at the end of that road is a pit (for lack of a better word). Good thing, there are no other cars in front of you. Luckily, you haven't thought of using the hand brake, yes luckily, because if you did and you suddenly pulled it fast, your car might turn turtle. Then you thought of reducing the speed by shifting to lower gear, but at panicked state and because you are still trying to step on the brakes, you forgot to release the clutch pedal. And at last, you are nearing the end of the road and still going fast so you have to decide what to do. Then you decided to try to turn left on the intersection but with caution because if you turn the steering wheel too fast, you might lose control of the car. But you missed fully the road and went to the gutter instead. Your front left wheel exploded and your engine support smashed with the gutter breaking your radiator, misaligning the car nastily that your fan belt is touching the engine case and other unknown damages yet. Then, after the accident, you checked your brakes and it is working properly as if nothing happened... Freaky? Yes it is... yes it is. Thank God no one inside the car got seriously hurt even though no one used the seat belts. Did I say you were sleepy when that happened?

Saw my long-time celebrity crush

2007-05-05T23:05:00.000+08:00

We were planning to watch Spider-man on Tuesday at GPC in Gateway mall (sayang). But thinking that almost everyone already watched the film by then we were pressured to watch it last Saturday. So we went to Power Plant mall to check if there are available seats left, and to our surprise there are. Maybe because all their cinemas are showing the same film. eheheh. We bought tickets for a later showing so that we can still roam around the mall. And then it happened... Freya saw her first and told me to look at her direction. At first I only saw half her face as she was passing by. I was in a dilemma if we were to follow her or not. And not to follow her prevailed. eheheh. I was then contented to see half of her by then, when we saw her again. Nice. Actually I think we had eye contact. Lucky her, she can brag to her friends that she saw a handsome guy at the mall. Hahaha.

She's Joyce Jimenez by the way. :)

T.G.I.F.

2007-05-05T19:08:00.000+08:00

What a friday it had been...

First, we would be having our "Palaman Festival" and we were assigned to buy the softdrinks for the party so we decided to accompany Sim to buy a CPU case before going to the grocery store. On the way back, we crossed Shangri-la mall and since we have a sealed package, the security let the bomb-sniffing dog 'sniff' through the package. Funny thing, the dog didn't want to smell it and after lots of forcing the dog to check the package the "trainer" just said "ayaw amuyin eh, ok na yan". Ayus di ba? Instead of opening the box to know what's inside since the dog is not sniffing it, they just let it go. What a security measure. Then we had our bowling try-out at Coronado lanes in Starmall, and what a great time for my A-game to come out. At least for the first game that is. Hopefully my 178 will get me qualified for the tournament. I know, I know, it's not that great a score but hey, for my standards that's high enough. :) I had a spare, turkey, spare, spare i think. So, what can you ask for? ehehehe. My second game was a so so performance, just had 111. I didn't have a spare then 'til the 5th rack. Partly because I was tired and partly because I was excited to play basketball. So, i think now you know what sport I prefer playing. ehehe. We left immediately after the second game to go catch a basketball game with our former officemates. It was a fun game. Though I haven't played with them for quite some time, we still had our friendly trash-talking and "gulangan" inside the hardcourt. ehehe. Too bad we were able to play only one game due to time constraints. I hope next week,our dinner celebration would end early (if matutuloy, congrats Camila!) so that I can join them again. No offense to my Emerson basketball buddies, their schedule fits mine and I just can't play every thursday due to GBS (general bible study). Anyway, after the game I had to wait until 1am to fetch Her. :) That sums up my eventful friday. I just wish everyday is like that. Notice there's nothing about work? hihihi. Shhh.. :)

Should have, could haves, would haves

2007-05-04T14:14:00.000+08:00

Just thought about it this morning while I was with my mom. I drove her to SSS before I went to the office. In the car, she was telling me her frustrations, the not so good things that happened in the past and what could have been done to prevent it.

So here is my two cents worth about the should haves, could haves, and would haves in our lives... STOP thinking about it!!! Don't cry over spilled milk. Past is past. Move on. Well, easier said than done i know but really, what can you do about it? Nothing much, right? Things like that happen and all we can do is learn from it and live with it. Instead, let's deal with the problems that can still be resolved and stop thinking of the things from the past. Am I making sense? I don't know myself. ehehehe

Fun weekend

2007-04-30T14:09:00.000+08:00

Friday night...

Watched a boring movie The Reaping.

Saturday...

Morning, we lost the game. Plain and simple. Funny thing I noticed, you'll have a lot more post game discussions when you lose a game than when you win.. Hmmm. Maybe it's just hard to accept defeat that you have to analyze every bit of what happened inside the hardcourt and criticize all the calls and non-calls of the referees. eheheh. If only I would have known earlier that we will lose, I shouldn't have played and went to my office mate's place for a night of sing-along instead! eheheh. Afternoon, watched Gray Matters. A movie about a lesbian coming out. Though it was a funny movie, i just don't think we should have watched that. eheheh. Finally, evening. We just CHILLED!! Had a great night! Played basketball, billiards, and poker and swam until the wee hours of the morning at Ced's place.

Sunday...

Wasn't able to go to Sunday Service, for obvious reason. Woke up at around 9am to eat breakfast and then went swimming again, basically the same as saturday night. What a weekend, eh? Great way to forget your problems and just relax.

Project Completed

2007-04-26T08:05:00.000+08:00

Done! Finished with one of my projects. My side project actually, I've been working on it for more than 3 weeks now but I didn't get a push until yesterday when I was asked to hurry it up. Though I was really planning to finish it and submit it this weekend, of course I was still hoping that it can be extended. But due to circumstances, extension is not an option. I'm still thinking of minor changes to make it better but too late for that. I just hope that I did a good job and impress the reviewer so that my effort won't go to waste. Have my two fingers crossed.

NBA Playoffs

2007-04-25T13:10:00.000+08:00

The playoffs started and my teams are struggling.. too bad. Miami Heat is now 0-2 against Chicago Bulls. San Antonio Spurs lost its home court advantage to Denver Nuggets. I just hope they can still win their respective series.

Love Fool

2007-04-24T13:01:00.000+08:00

"Because you're hoping you're wrong. And every time she does something that tells you she's no good, you ignore it. And every time she comes through and surprises you, she wins you over, and you lose that argument with yourself, that she's not for you. "
"Exactly, and on top of that there's the old standby, I can't believe a girl like that would actually be with a guy like me." -- The Holiday.

Love someone without expecting something in return... (mahirap ata ito ah. ehehe)
Love does not hurt. Expectations hurt. You are not hurt because of loving, you are hurt because you expect him/her to love you back...

Do not be afraid to love. There's no fear in love so don't be afraid of rejections...

When love hurts, love more.
When love still hurts, love even more.
When love hurts more, love until it hurts no more...

You can love someone for a day...
Or you can love someone forever.
If you love someone for a day...
then it was not love.
It was infatuation.

Love can be found on the other side of the world...
or it can be in front of your face.
Without you having realized it until much later.

There is no specific way to approach the person you love.
However...do not fail to express your feelings.
Seize the moment...Do not let it pass you by.
Realize the love you have in front of you.

Love is not blind.. It can see, but opt not to mind.

If I speak in the tongues of men and angels,
but have not love,
I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol.

And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing.

And if I dole out all my goods, and
if I deliver my body that I may boast
but have not love, nothing I am profited.

Love is long suffering,
love is kind,
it is not jealous,
love does not boast,
it is not inflated.

It is not discourteous,
it is not selfish,
it is not irritable,
it does not enumerate the evil.
It does not rejoice over the wrong, but rejoices in the truth

It covers all things,
it has faith for all things,
it hopes in all things,
it endures in all things.

Love never falls in ruins;
but whether prophecies, they will be abolished; or
tongues, they will cease; or
knowledge, it will be superseded.

For we know in part and we prophecy in part.

But when the perfect comes, the imperfect will be superseded.

When I was an infant,
I spoke as an infant,
I reckoned as an infant;

when I became [an adult],
I abolished the things of the infant.

For now we see through a mirror in an enigma, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know as also I was fully known.

But now remains, faith, hope, love,
these three;

but the greatest of these is love. -- 1 Corinthians 1-13

Wala lang.. :) Just a collection of quotes about love. Some I believe in, some I don't.

Basketball fever

2007-04-23T10:49:00.000+08:00

At last! After so many years, I was able to play in our church's sportsfest. But it was not a good debut though, 'coz I had the worst offensive game of my basketball career (if there is one. ehehe). I didn't score a point! Thanks to limited games I played after college, I lost my shooting touch. And because I'm comfortable playing 1 and 2 position, I rely more on scoring outside. So you do the math. Anyway, enough of that.

It was a fun experience altogether, though it was really tiring -- we have to play twice that day. There are a lot of people who came to watch and cheer for the teams -- it would have been better if they stayed until the last game which is our second game. (ehehe) And the way the players play is really different from when you play against others outside the church. Though there is physicality at times, you always feel that all are just playing for fun and no one intends to hurt anyone.

Looking forward to our next game. Hope we get to the finals!

By the way, I was watching UFC 70 yesterday and I saw the nastiest knockout ever since I started watching UFC. It was a right kick to head of Mirko Cro Cop by Gabriel Gonzaga on the first round. It was very devastating that Cro Cop just drop dead on the canvass ignoring his twisted ankle! Can't wait for Gonzaga-Couture championship fight!

Check Operator Services

2007-04-19T07:39:00.000+08:00

Can somebody tell me what's the use of credit limit? Am I wrong in thinking that when you exceed that amount, it is the only time the service provided by your network will be cut off?? So why on earth do I get Check Operator Services??? I still have a good thousand pesos left before I reach my credit limit! And I do pay my bill every month, though not fully (hihihih), but at least I do, thinking that as long as I'm under the limit, I will not have disrupted service. Oh well, what can I do? Even if I complain all I want to the customer service rep, nothing will happen. He/She will just tell me that I have to pay my existing balance for them to re-connect my line. Lesson learned: Never mind the credit limit crap.. Just pay the bill on time. :)

Sa Globe, lahat posible! (I agree!)

Summer Time!

2007-04-18T13:30:00.000+08:00

Summer na!!! We had our company outing last Saturday, April 14 at Clearwater Country Club. Well, the event itself went quite well but the events that happened before that… not so much. A series of unfortunate events (Ehehe), disastrous, one might even say. First, my car's right rear brake got stuck! (strike one!) Thankfully, I was out of EDSA by the time it happened, I was about a mile from Freya's house so I wasn't creating major traffic. Imagine forcing my car to "move" with only 3 wheels rolling. Ehehe. Clearly my car won’t be able to take us to Pampanga so we used her car instead. We got to Pampanga alright but then just about a few kilometers away from Clearwater, the car overheated! (strike two!) Good thing though, we were close to a petrol station so we went there to cool down the car's engine. So there we were with the sun glaring and all, just hosing down the radiator. It doesn’t end there, somehow with all the signs pointing to the country club, we still got lost. (strike three!) We turned right instead of going straight ahead… Lucky aren’t we? We saw the Clearwater entrance alright, but we're on the other side of the road so we have to look for a U-turn slot that was sooo far away. Oh well, that sums-up our good fortune in the morning. But I have to say that all the hassles were worth it because we enjoyed the rest of the day (swim! swim! swim!). Our team won the cheering contest (I participated!) and we became the overall champion!

Income Tax Return

2007-04-16T14:10:00.000+08:00

It's the last day of filing Income Tax Return.. Fortunately I don't have to deal with long lines and rushes to complete requirements because I already filed my return last friday! yipee! Just a reminder to those who will file their tax return on remote filing areas, do not ask for assistance on how much do you have to pay to the person receiving your 1700 because they don't know what they're talking about. Harharhar. I think they are just volunteers, like the ones on election day. Better to just check the back of your form and understand it yourself. All they're gonna tell you is "Basta nag zero zero lahat ng 2316 mo, wala ka na babayaran". Though in truth, you have to add up your income for the whole year then compute for the tax you have to pay using the tax table. There's a big chance that there is a discrepancy in your current tax withheld and your actual tax payable. So goodluck to those who are going to beat the deadline!!! By the way, if you have payments to settle go directly to accredited banks, don't bother going to remote filing areas.

Does length matter?

2007-03-09T11:02:00.000+08:00

I have been contemplating about this for a long time now. Back then, I’ve been comfortable with its length. But now, I’m not sure. I've been thinking and I have narrowed it down into 3 options: 1. just wait until it grows 2. use substances to "speed up" its growth or 3. just let it be, which is short in my case. But does it really matter if it's short or long? I've asked around about it, some say it's better if it is long, others say short, some say it doesn't matter as long as u can carry it and you're comfortable with it. Hay... it is hard to decide. My clipper will have to wait a little longer on my verdict.

Good morning philippines!

2007-03-07T14:20:00.000+08:00

A prefect entry for my first blog... I was on my way to work at around 6:45am thinking that I’d get to office 7-ish. I thought it would be a smooth drive since it is still early but man was I wrong! I GOT STUCK IN A 2KM STRETCH FOR 1 FRIGGING HOUR!!! The first 15mins of the ‘calvary’ was manageable, thinking that I'd still be early if ever the traffic lessens. I just have to go a little faster than my usual speed. But man, after 30mins! All the remaining patience in me have disappeared. Imagine, I moved maybe not more than 200 meters from where I was 30mins ago. Thanks to the tricycle drivers who seem to believe that they are driving a paper-thin vehicle that their "counter-flowing" won't cause any disruption. AND especially to the four-wheeled car driver that cannot understand SIMPLE English, I'm close to believing that English literacy in the Philippines is next to zero. ‘ONE WAY’. Is it really that hard to understand? Why do you insist on going the wrong way? Don't you realize what will be the effect of that? YOU ARE THE CAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC JAM! Hay, self interest before other's. One more thing happened, walang tindang puto. Puto naman... bakit ngayon pa? Gutom na ko eh! When at last I survived (I thought) the agony of heavy traffic, I arrived at Cubao, EDSA... here we go again! But at least I was going 20kph. Not bad, compared to an hour of almost zero movement. Actual time of arrival: 8:35am. What a great way to start a morning.
