Systems' Down

Guess what???

Not only my Spark is down, but my System is now also down. Crap!!! My brain can't function very well (except at work) lately. When I'm outside work, everything seems to be a mess. There's a traffic jam in my head whenever I plan to make a blog entry. I can't think precisely. Although I still have tons of ideas in my mind but I can't seem to organize my thoughts. Even choosing the right words became so difficult for me.

There are now days that I have no entry posted in my blog, which is something very impossible before (that's why I declared myself a blogista). There are even some times when I don't feel like opening my laptop at all. And if I do, I just log in to my account, view my site, check out some comments, and that's it. Not in the mood to make an entry. I feel I am making non-sense, and my direction is not straight.

Not only that, I have text messages on my mobile phone that up to now, are not yet answered. I am not getting the energy on replying to them. I've been receiving messages also on my other online accounts and most of them, I haven't replied yet. My room has not been that super clean and organized for the longest time, and I haven't gotten any strength to fix it. My work-out routine has been messed up as well, visiting the gym for only twice a week.

My diet has lost its direction a few times, and have been eating whatever I want to eat. I am getting tired watching my food. I have also planned to watch some DVDs I have not seen yet, but everytime I'm about to start doing it, I get tired and choose to sleep instead. I'm not a person who loves sleeping most of the time, but lately, my bed and I have been spending so many time. This is so abnormal!

I'm just glad that I am able to keep myself up when I'm at work. That is one thing I don't want to be affected by this global recession that is happening in my body (hehe). This is really so not me. And this is bad, very bad. I need an inspiration. Not someone romantically, but something or someone that will turn on the lights and start playing the music again in my body. I need a pull up. Asap!!!

I've got to fight. No one else will save myself from this grave but me. As what the pussycat dolls says in their song, "I've got to do it... I've got to do it.. I hate this part right here..."

Eight years as #1

The bank I'm working with has again received it's 8th year in a row award for being #1 in Customer Service. A prestige award that's been enjoyed for that long already. And I'm very proud to be part of the celebration as the market remains competitive but we were able to keep the award for 8 years already. That's something!

That's why last week, we had our "Spirit Day" where we declared that it's a day of celebration especially for our front liners who are really doing the job in servicing our millions of customers every single day. The leadership team roamed around and distributed special pins to everyone as a token of appreciation. Everyone was asked to wear blue and green that day as well as the official color of the bank. See our photos:


Congratulations to W!!! We did it again! And congrats to me!!! Why? Because I'm part of the bank. Hehe. Siyempre, isisingit ko ang sarili ko sa parangal. Hehe.

It hurts when...

• you miss someone that is part of your life and you can't do anything because she's half across the world...

• a friend chose to believe someone's word against me despite of what we have been through together for the longest time...

• you have no one to talk to and express your inner feelings and emotions...

• your friend throws back at you of the help she extended during the time of need because of personal issues...

• you feel you're all alone carrying the maternal responsibility at home...

• your friends forget about you when they are all happy, but remembers you when they feel sad and down...

• you feel your life gets stuck and you try everything to get out of it but you're still on it...

"Not all things that you wanted,
though you worked hard just to have it,
is always meant to be yours.
Somehow, you also lose...

But when you lose someone or something,
there will come a better one that you surely deserve,
more than anything..."

Spark is Down

Is it under maintenance? Or is it lost? If it is, is it gonna be forever? Or just for temporary? How long will it take for it to return? Will it take a long time to come back? Or will it never be?

Something is really wrong with me. For two months now, I have seen a few selected people whom I found some possibilities of a romantic intuition. A few means it has been filtered according to my likes and what would really get my unique and different attention. They are the ones I consider what I "like" and has all the characteristics of what I am looking for. I'm just doing the right match-making thing for myself.

But here's the part that I hate. After all the good conversations, constant communication, tender cares, and all the compatibility essence, when it's time for us to meet, something is just missing to complete the perfect picture. I still get goosebumps whenever I meet someone for a date. It's exciting but at the same time, nerve-wracking. That's how the game is designed. I still go for it. And the forces of nature are just so nice to me that things go the way it should be.

But how come when all things are perfect in terms of looks, built & height, profession, gestures, attitude, fashion, personality, then the SPARK is what's not present. What the hell!!! Okay.. Okay.. TL is a believer of Spark. Everyone may have their opinion about this but I just believe on it. It's been tried and tested on me. That no matter how perfect the guy is in front of me, if there's no spark, I lose the interest of pursuing him.

That's another crazy part of me. Stupid as how my friends call it. I cannot even explain it to myself. No matter how I force to like the guy, this crazy me can't just do it. Why when the guy looks perfect for it, then that's the time this spark is absent. Why when the guy is complicated, that's where I get electrified. Damn it! This ain't just right!!!

I am beaten by the guilt inside my heart after not responding to them after the meet-up slash first date. I am scared. I have no idea what to say. I am clueless. Lost of words. I know that I am very polite with people, but this has become an exception to that. If this blog can tell them how sorry I am, it will make me feel better. But I know it's not and it won't.

I am sad. I don't like hanging people by the moment. But it happens. Naturally. Is it a choice? I guess so. What can I do? I am taking any consequences if that's what it has to be. I know I am not a bad person, but this one is making me one. And I'm hating it. This just validates how coward I am. And I'm ready to accept that fact. I am sorry! Please, forgive me...

Until when is this gonna occur? If it's still down, may I request to temporarily shut down also my heart? So it won't feel anything. And it will prevent from hurting other people's feelings. And avoid feeling bad about myself. But honestly, I miss the spark. I miss feeling that blissful moment. Until when? Until when will I wait? I am gonna wait for you. Please come back... Please... Save me from this ocean of guilt...

Lemery, Batangas

FYI: TL will be in Lemery Batangas on March 28-29, 2009

I may not be able to update my blog until I return. For the meantime, here are some pictures that I had in Lemery, Batangas during a team of building from my previous boss/cluster way back August of 2008.

See you soon!!!

3 Boobs

Nakakita na kayo nang babaeng tatlo ang boobs? Meron pala talaga nun. Ngayon lang ako nakakita. Nawindang ako. Kaya eto, ishe-share ko sa inyo nang mawindang din kayo. Hehe. Just got this email lang today. Hay! What in the world does this girl thought of having? May bra bang pang tatlong boobs? Hehe. Baka customized yung sa kanya. Sosyal!!!


Sorry kung medyo porno-ish yung picture ha. By the way, ang tawag pala sa ganyan ay Triceratits. Ano kaya, meron din kayang guy na dalawa ang birdie? Hehe. Just curious...

Ipis!!!

Nagapangan ka na ba nang ipis?

Lintek! Umiihi ako kanina nang biglang ginapangan ako sa paa nang maharot na ipis. Yung magalawgaw type na ipis. Lintek! Nagsplash island tuloy ang weewee ko. Hassle! Ang sarap chop-chopin nung ipis hanggang sa parang pamintang durog na lang siya. Hindi ba nila maramdaman kung sino ang mga taong takot sa kanila? I'm sure naman, hindi naman para manakot ang purpose nila sa mundo. Pwede ba akong ma-exempt sa mga gagapangan nila?

Waaah!!! Nararamdam ko pa sa paa ko yung mga paa nang gapang niya. Lintek talaga!!! Bakit pa kasi may ipis! Ano bang silbi nila??? Wala naman ata. Talagang bumabalikwas ako pag nakakakita ako nang ipis lalo na pag tipong papalapit na sila. Tuwing umuulan, naglalabasan sila. Hassle! Mas lalo na sa mga lumilipad, ay, naku, talagang kumakaripas ako nang takbo. Imagine niyo na lang sa laking mama ko, nagtata-takbo ako dahil sa lumilipad na ipis. Hehe.

Hay! Leche kayong mga ipis kayo!!!

Coolit Coolness

For the smokers out there, you gotta love this one...
It's a ceiling mural in a smoker's lounge.

Ikaw na ang makonsensya sa paninigarilyo. Hehe.

This next one, imagine that you are in a party..
Tenth floor of a high-rise building..
And then you need to pee and go to the loo..
And when you open the door,
you see a painted floor like this..
Lupet di ba! Astig! Maihi ka pa kaya? Hehe.

The next naman is a public toilet in Houston, Texas.
Here's the view from the outside..
Nice di ba. Mirror mirror on the wall ito.
Coolness!
Pero pagpasok mo sa loob, eto ang itsura..
Oh! San ka pa! One-way glass!
Super lupet. Parang maiilang kang umihi
at mag-doubt kung totoo bang di ka kita sa labas..
Hehe.

YOU

Saturday, the sky has opened and gave me a message which led in to a night of blissful conversation.. Sunday, endless communication began and never we've been apart from each other.. Monday, I got so addicted and you became a special drug that I can't take away from me.. Tuesday, I then started singing "A little not too over you" by David Archuleta and the night turned out to be very very dark.. Wednesday, the storm has passed and sunny smiles started flashing in my face again..

What else is next. This has taken me too far from what I have expected. It's been awhile since I had a ride. It's so fast and it's making me nervous. But honestly, you just made me enjoy it. I'm so hooked. I'm getting addicted. I'm starting to like it. Where is this leading me. Where are you leading me???

My water was so calm for how many months, and I have been enjoying the stillness of it. But here you are, all of a sudden, just came from nowhere, brought back the ripples in my water just like what I had before. But this time, the rhythm of the water is giving me joy like nobody else has done. Are you the one destined to come at this point where I am not expecting any???

Where did you get that potion? How did you cast that magic spell? From what kingdom did you come from? Are you a knight in shining armor, or a wicked witch in disguise? How can you simply turn things around in me where a few have tried and were unsuccessful? How did it become so easy for you when I am trying to make it hard and complicated???

This joy that you bring, this happiness that you share, this feeling I am having, this moment I am treasuring, are things that I never knew will I miss. Thank you for these but I wanna know, is this for real? Or am I just dreaming? I wanna hold your hand but I'm scared that you might turn in to gold. I wanna take your heart but I'm afraid that it may start bleeding.

On the 7th day, the sky will open again and the judgement from above will fall on us. Whatever it will be, I'll be ready. That's the only option I have for me. I hope you are. I hope you take whatever it is too. I am excited, but at the same time, I am scared. But that's all what this ride is all about. So keep your seat belt buckled, as we will end this week's race with a blow.

But over-all, I just want to say Thank YOU!!!

Allen's Deadline

Kung naaliw tayo kay Oliver at Paul sa kanilang panalong email before, Another email I got today was from a guy named Allen, who has declared a personal challenge to find a partner by April 01, 2009 (which is 7 days from today). Actually he sent this last March 13 pero ngayon ko lang nabasa. Eto yung una niyang email:

I have declared to myself that I will find a partner by noon of April 01, 2009 (Wednesday).

So in line with this goal, I am posting this to help me find a guy who I can have good relationship with.

I'd like to tell something about myself. I am Allen, 22, straight acting gay guy. Lives in Antipolo City (that's 1 hour away from Manila or Makati).

I am an HR Officer in a Montessori School in Angono. My job has been so exciting because I am in charge of hiring the best teachers in Rizal. I also enjoy teaching English to Third Year HS students.

However, what I love in my job is I get to meet the Nursery, Kinder and Prep kids in our school. They are really cute and I like waving at them when they cross the street and walk along our hallway. They are wonderful little persons.

On my physical appearance, I am average looking guy. When I look at myself in the mirror, I am happy about how I look. And I smile a lot and talk to myself in the mirror. I enjoy seeing my facial movements and unexpected facial reactions when I talk. And I am amused most of the time.

So if you're interested in helping me surpass my self-declared challenge (which is to find a partner by noon of April 01, 2009), or if you yourself are the one I have been looking for, kindly send me an email.

Do not respond here in the yahoo group. I lose track of the thread sometimes.

I will send my number to you once you have sent me an email.

I would prefer guys who are straight acting like me and 18 to 28 years old.

We can also chat through the new feature of Yahoo that enables us to chat while checking our inbox. Here's my email address: allensanjuan@ yahoo.com

When you receive a response from me, it contains some questions to help me know you better.
Please do answer them.

When I ask you to meet, please do not think twice. I guarantee you. I am absolutely a nice guy and fun to be with. You'll enjoy our date.

So that's it. Thank you for reading my post.

Stay healthy,

Allen

Kulet di ba! Kulet! Hindi ko kinaya. Hehe. At ang bago sa challenge niyang ito, nagsend na naman siya nang update at eto ang sinabi niya:

Masaya lang talaga ako that I did this challenge. And I feel like I have done something different. This is very exciting, finding a partner with a deadline. It's been really great and I have never felt this excited before. I am just happy.

Right now, I would like to thank all the nice and thoughtful guys who sent messages to me since Day 1 of my challenge. And definitely I will not forget the moderators who allowed my several postings here in yahoogroups. Thank you so much.

As I have said before I am going to decide on April 1, 2009 who I will choose among those who expressed intentions of being my partner.

I'd like to make a clarification. When I say partner, it's not really a life-long commitment or a very serious attachment. It's just a partner who I can see two to three times a week and who I can hold hands with, who I can talk to about a lot of things sensibly (but can enjoy with me ung mga trip ko, alam mo yun, yung tawanan at masayang banat at kwentuhan), and who I can sleep with safely. Baka paggising ko, wala na lahat gamit ko. Hehehe.

So in short hindi naman tlaga yung seryoso o grabeng commitment. Basta nag-eenjoy tayo pareho.

Having said that, everybody, if you're interested, you can still send me an email and I'll get back to you not later than 12 hours.

Note: Tinatawagan ko yung mga nag-iiwan ng number. Kaya leave your number when you email me.

Isa lang ang masasabi ko. Goodluck at sana ay mahanap mo ang hinahanap mo Allen. Free advertise ka na dito sa blogsite ko. At least, malay mo, baka makatulong pa ako. Hehe.

Office Scenes

Last last week, a mobility test was conducted for voicemail sharing and Angel's desk was the one used for the pilot test. So she was asked to stay after our 5 hour shift, which she agreed. Kaya lang pag-alis namin at na-realize niyang mag-isa na lang siya, doon siya na-praning. "Sisa, ikaw ba yan?". Hehe.


Wednesday of last week naman, our company was awarded Employer of Choice kaya nag-treat sila nang Kenny Roger food for everyone, plus cake and soft drinks. At ang team, picture moment siyempre. Palalagpasin ba. Buti na lang 5 hours lang ang shift namin nun kaya uwi na kami after. Yun ang tinatawag na "Hit & Run". Hehe.


Nung friday naman, we had a cross-selling refresher course. I asked Carol, Eric and Sherrie to prepare for it and facilitate the whole course. They made a very nice presentation and recognized those folks who have met their sales target. They created a certificate for them. Very nice. "Jude Law, is that you?". Hehe.


And then nung Sunday, since wala pa nga akong tulog dahil galing nang Galera, pagpatak nang 5:00am, I decided to pull them off the phone to have an activity. We played Pinoy Henyo at sobrang funnee. Nakakabaliw talaga. Revelation of the night si Mommy Marien. Tawa kami nang tawa. See our crazy videos:





Fun! Fun! Fun at work!!!

In Response to ItchyWorm Part XI

ItchyWorm:

How can I NOT comment on this entry??? (Passing Moment) hehehe.. Yes TL, my dear blog friend, I'm back! (again/for the moment) :D

I got super kilig when I read your post, it must be fate, right? You and Richard are really meant to be, sana naman you said hello! Grrr... you don't strike me talaga as the bashful type. It's ok, we all have our moments of weakness. I wonder though what the universe is trying to tell you about Richard? It's too much of a coincidence, no? But if you ever run into him again, that's it, you really have to say HELLO this time! I will hunt you down and pull out all your hair if you don't! wahahahaha!!

I have yet to see him-- 'haven't been to FF Westgate like forever. And as I've told you, I've been busy at work, cos I'm going on vacation next week (US/Canada for over a month), a long overdue and much-deserved (if you ask me) break. I see you're planning to take a trip overseas too? Where will you be? Baka we can meet up? Hehehehe... That would be really cool, I think you'd make an excellent and super FUN travel companion (except you'll probably monopolize most of the pics hahaha ok lang!). Basta whatever happens, I will still be tuned to this blog so keep those stories coming!

O yan ha, just to let you know I'm still alive and tuned in! Sana natuloy your Palawan with Jay, and not just for OBVIOUS reasons (one word: SEX!), but you really must see Palawan, it's just so beautiful. Nothing else compares, here or elsewhere. My parting advice is: cancel everything else, and go to Palawan, I guarantee you won't regret it! ;)

Gotta go, reply soon, and take care always!

IW

ps. one day, you REALLY have to tell me how shy-guy you got hold of that yummy pic of R.!

-----

TL:

ItchyWorm!!!! Punyetiks!!! Antagal mong di nagparamdam. Lintek! Sobrang miss na kita. Hay! Ano na naman kasi ang pinaggaga-gawa mo. Hay! Naiinis talaga ako sa'yo. Ngayon ka lang nagparamdam. Hay!

Anyways, at talagang kinilig ka doon. Ako nga hindi, nanlambot lang ako. Lintek na Richard yan kasi. He makes me shiver. Naks! Wahaha. Fate ba ang tawag dun? Hay, sana naki-join na rin si Destiny. At gawin kaming meant for each other. Wahaha. Dream on TL!!!

Hay, pag nagkita talaga kami ulit, hindi lang "Hello" ang sasabihin ko. May karugtong pang "Hoy Richard! Hindi ko na kaya ito. Sasabihin ko na ang matagal ko nang itinatago. Mahal na kita!!!". Huwaw! Pero gudlak kung masabi ko nga talaga yun. Hehe. Sige papayag na lang akong hilain mo lahat nang buhok ko sa ulo dahil mukhang siguradong mauutal na naman ako. Hehe.

Pag nagkita kayo uli, pakibigay na lang ang address nang blogsite ko ha. Para pag nagkita kami uli, siya na mismo ang a-approach sa akin. Haha. Nice idea ba? Hehe. Just kidding. Oist! Joke lang yun ha. Not a good idea.

You're going to Canada? I might be going there too. I'm just waiting for my tita pero doon talaga ang punta ko this April. Huwaw! Magkikita na tayo? At sa canada pa? Sosyal! Ibang level ka talaga IW. Espesyal ka na nga dito sa blog ko, espesyal pa rin ang pagkikita natin. Libre mo ako ha. Bawal humindi. Hehe.

Na-excite ako bigla. Lalo na nung sinabi mong I will monopolize most of the pics. May tama ka dun!!! Galingan mo na lang sumingit. Hehe. At doon ko rin sasabihin sa'yo kung paano ko nakuha yung sexy picture ni Richard. Hehe. But seriously, I'm glad na nagparamdam ka. Oo, alam ko nang buhay ka pa pala. Buti naman!

Excited na rin ako sa Palawan. There's no cancelling of this plan na talaga. Last year pa dapat kaso na-cancel. This year, go na talaga. Si Jay? Malabo na talaga yun. Di ko na nga pinagkakausap. Okay lang. I have been wanting to see this place kaya sure na sure na. Got my plane tickets already.

Oist! Magparamdam ka uli ha!!! Bawal ang busy busy...

Stupid Cupid

Why have I met you?
If meeting you would only mean bitter thoughts of the fact that somebody else owns you…

Why have I met you?
If meeting you would only mean sleepless nights…
Of hours that meant a second missed meeting you…
Introduced me to a world that was strange to me before the world of unreality…

For what else can I do but dream…
For in my dreams I can find happiness...
The consolation that I’m in need of…
For only in my dreams can I find you, embrace you, and feel the warmness of your being…

Why did I have to meet you and like you a lot?
And feel the splendor of loving you…
Why do you have to look at me with those judging eyes that rule my soul and then blame myself for loving you that much…
Wanting you and all…

Arrgghhh, stupid cupid!!!

Puerto Galera 2009

Ayos sa title di ba. Hehe. May naaalala akong boss ko dati. Lahat nang picture niya sa friendster niya pag pumupunta siya nang Boracay, every year, eh ang title, "Boracay 2007", depende kung anong taon. Hehe. So ginaya ko lang siya. Btw, that boss is Aries. Kung may reader man akong nakakakilala sa kanya. Wahaha. I'm sure I have. Right Andrew? Hehe.

Anyways, I'm back from outer space! Este Galera last sunday, but now lang ako nagka-chance mag-blog. I had a great weekend get-away. It was also a great time with Kumander. In short, kaming dalawa lang ang tumuloy. Di na nakasama si Angel at Ash (hmpf!). But it was fun. Although we know that Galera is good for barkada, we both wanted a time for relaxation and out from our stressful world since pareho na kami nang mundong ginagalawan kaya enjoy pa din.


We went there friday morning after our shift. So dire-diretso na. Nakarating kami sa batangas pier nang 8:45am and immediately bought our boat ride fare. Hassle nga kasi ang sabi sa amin 8:45am sakto ang alis pero 10:15am na nakalarga ang bangka. Hassle di ba. Gutom pa naman na ako. Kaya mais na lang muna ang inupakan namin habang naghihintay sa terminal. Of course, influenced by Kumander at paborito niya ang mais. Hehe.


The sea travel was fine except for one bumpy moment. Btw, I'm so scared riding in a boat. Hehe. And believe me, nagpapanic talaga ako kapag may malaking alon. Praningski to the max si TL. Buti na lang talaga, medyo maayos ayos ang biyahe papunta doon compare to my past experience. Hay!


We had lunch after putting our stuff sa room that we rented. Doon na nagsimula yung aming get-away normal life adventure. Meaning, trying to live like a normal person. Yung kumakain sa tamang oras, walang ginagawa at inaasikaso, walang iniisip, puro relax, yung nanonood nang tv, namamasyal, naliligo. Things like that na hindi nangyayari kapag nasa normal world namin. In fairness, ang sarap! That was our agenda there.


Natulog muna kami after lunch kasi nga mga wala pang pahinga at galing pang work. Sabi ko kay Kumander gumising kami nang hapon nang makapag-swimming. Kaso napasarap tulog namin, past 6:00pm na kami naggising. And actually, kaya ako naggising kasi narinig ko si Kumander, binabangungot, sumisigaw nang "Huwag mo akong sundan dito!!!". Siyempre, scary di ba. Paggising, parang normal lang. Hehe. Then we went out na para mag-swim kahit medyo gabi na.


Saglit lang din kami naligo. Around 8:00pm, umahon na kami at bumalik sa room para magpalit at medyo gutom na rin kami for dinner. At sa sobrang gutom, pagkaligo, deretso sa kainan at attack sa food agad pagkahain. Hehe. Tingnan niyo, simot sarap ang masarap na chicken barbecue. Wahaha.


Pagkatapos kumain, naglakad lakad muna nang matagtag ang kinain. We checked one resto bar sa may dulo because we got caught by it's malupet club lights. We saw some crowd din kaya it urged us to check it out. Pagdating doon, hindi rin naman pala ganun kadami ang tao kaya we left na rin after.


Maya-maya, nagtrip kami ni Kumander unimon. Since hindi naman talaga ako umiinom, naisip lang namin for wala lang purposes. Hehe. Since everyone in Galera was out in the sand drinking, naki-join na rin kami sa trip of the night pero tig-isang glass lang kami nang hard drinks. I encouraged Kumander to try the famous Mindoro Sling and I just had Rum-Coke para tamang lasing lasingan mode lang. Hehe. In fairness, and as usual, tinamaan na naman ako. Hehe. What's new!


Nag-aya na akong pumunta nang room nang medyo malakas lakas na ang tama sa akin. Bumili lang kami nang snacks pampaalis tama at kapulahan ni Kumander. Haha. Para siyang nagmumurang kamatis sa pula. Hehe. Pagdating sa room, konting nood muna ako habang nagtetext si Kumander. Maya-maya, kung anong hawak ni Kumander sa phone niya habang nakahiga, ganun na ang naging pwesto niya sa pagkakatulog niya. Bagsak!!! Wahaha.

The next day, gumising kami nang maaga for a morning swim. Although naunang naggising si Kumander at naghanap nang sunrise, pagkagising ko (at naggising ako dahil kinuhanan niya ako habang natutulog), saka na kami lumarga sa buhangin. Ang sarap nang haring araw. Mega super duper photo shoot kami. What else pa ba.


After maligo, nagpamasahe kami. Hay! What a relaxing life. Ang sarap. Masahe under the sun while lying on the sand and just listening to your iPod. Woohoo. Indulgence to life's beauty. Hehe.


Nang medyo sobrang tirik na si haring araw, at nagawa na namin ang aming morning agenda (swimming, photo shoot under the sun and massage), bumalik na kami sa room para magbanlaw na. Tanghali na rin nun and it's time for our lunch.


Nagsisimula na rin dumating ang mga tao. Konti pa nung dumating kami nung friday pero saturday, dagsaan na ang katauhan mula sa iba't ibang lupalop. Hehe. Pagkaligo, napagtripan namin magphoto shoot sa loob nang room. Wala lang. trip trip lang ulit. Hehe.


Pagkatapos, lumabas na kami para maghanap nang kakainan for our lunch. Si Kumander na ang pumili. Mga "Silog" food ang napagtripan namin. Yumyum! Super rice ako the whole time in Galera. Hay! Having a normal life talaga. Ganun pala ang pakiramdam maging tao. Haha.


After, naisipan kong magpa-henna. Although isip ako nang isip kung saan ko ipalalagay, I then decided to put it in my hand. For a change naman. Lagi kasi sa biceps ko ang mga past henna ko. Wala lang.


Coot noh! Then, Kumander wanted to buy some pasalubong kaya nag-ikot ikot kami sa mga stores doon. Siya lang ang bumili. Wala ako sa mood mamili noon kasi nagawa ko na yun dati. Sawa na ang mga tao sa bahay sa mga ganung pasalubong. Buti na lang. Hehe.


Dahil tanghaling tapat na after mamili ni Kumander, bumalik na kami sa room. Hindi ko kasi kaya ang sobrang tirik nang init. Nanood lang ako nang TV habang sleeping beauty ang Kumander. Super tulog talaga di ba. Hehe. Nang nainip ako, naisipan kong magpahenna uli. Hehe. This time, sa may leeg. Si Kumander kasi, tinulugan ako.


It's a chinese encryption of my name. Coot di ba. Nakita ko kasi si Paolo Ballesteros sa Eat Bulaga habang nanonood ako na may ganyan siyang tattoo kaya nainggit ako. Hehe. Nang maggising si Kumander, pinakita ko sa kanya. Napa-iling na lang siya. Hehe. Niyaya ko siyang lumabas at medyo hapon na. Naglakad lakad uli kami. Nang may nakita akong mga coot na kids na nakahiga sa sand, napagtripan kong magpa-picture sa kanila. Game naman din sila eh. Coot noh!


We enjoyed the sunset, sand and beach life. Sobrang relaxing. Hindi na kami naligo. Nag-enjoy na kami masyado sa kapapanood nang mga tao, and simply doing nothing. Sarap! Nung lumubog na ang araw, nagprepare na kami for dinner time. Pero siyempre, photo trip na naman sa loob nang kuwarto. Hehe. Certified camwhores di ba!!!


Our dinner was super entertaining because of ate serbedora na ang lakas nang building rapport skills. In fairness, naaliw niya ako at napatawa nang todo todo. Inutusan nga naming kuhanan kami nang picture. Hehe.


After dinner, nanood kami ni Kumander nang Drag Show. I swear, sobrang aliw kahit nakakapagod tumayo nang matagal. It's worth it. Aliw ang mga flambouyant beauties. Ang galing sumayaw, mag-impersonate at magpatawa. I took some videos of their dance numbers.

Pagkatapos nang show, nag-aya na akong bumalik sa room. Hindi ko na feel uminom that night for a trip. Ayaw na. Hehe. Nanood na lang kami nang TV ni Kumander. Saya di ba, pumunta nang Galera para manood nang TV. Hehe. Around 10:00pm, nagsimula na kami ni Mystery Guy mag-usap sa phone. Natapos kami mga 3:00am na. Usap to the max. Hay! Kaaliw.

Naggising ako nang 7:00am. Si Kumander, as usual, naunang naggising. Kasi naman una din siyang natutulog. Hehe. Pagkagising kami, kumakalam na ang tiyan ko kaya nag-aya na akong mag-breakfast.

Pagkatapos, nag-ayos na kami nang gamit. 10:00am yung boat ride namin pabalik nang Batangas Pier. Ayoko kasi nang around after lunch at madami nang nag-uuwian nun. And of course, last picture sa loob nang boat. Hehe.

At dahil bored ako, napag-tripan ko ang isang pasahero na nalito ako kung tulog ba siya o hindi kasi nakamulat ang mata niya. But Kumander and I realized that she is asleep. Dilat lang ang mata. Haha. And the guy at her back is coot sana kaso masyadong flambouyant kumilos. Hehe. Wala lang.


Pagdating sa pier, good thing nakahanap agad kami nang aircon na bus na may mga pasahero na pabalik nang Alabang. Kaso, inabot na kami nang 1:00pm doon bago nakaalis. Hassle di ba. Pinuno talaga. And guess what, 3:00pm na kami nakarating sa Alabang. Tulog to the max na lang sa biyahe.

It was Kumander's first time to spend some time sa White Beach sa Puerto Galera, and we had so much fun. Super relax. Ang sarap nang feeling. Kaya kahit walang tulog, deretso pasok ako sa work for an 11-hour shift. At na-survive ko siya. Hehe. Kaso nangitim ako. Waaah!!! Keri lang. I'm ready for the next adventure. Woohoo! Bring it on!!!
