My Ex is my Bestfriend

Dad left today going back to Papua New Guinea. I just got home, together with mamiko. The house feels incomplete without dad. The normal in-denial sad night mode pag umaalis si daddy. Why in-denial? Kasi di kami lahat expressive sa pagkalungkot pag umaalis siya. We all act normal na parang okay lang. At walang usap usap yun. Normal na. Automatic.

His flight was scheduled to leave nang 9:45pm that's why he wants to be at the airport nang 7:00pm. We left nang 5:30pm sa house. Pero we arrived at 7:35pm. You know why? SLEX was in terrible traffic jam. Sumakit ang paa ko to the max. I swear. I hate driving when traffic is jammed. Crazy! Painful! But I had no choice. I had to drive him to the airport. Kaya tiniis ko na lang. Hay!

Pagdrop-off sa airport, I had to park pa kasi we had to wait for him kasi lalabas pa daw siya (yun yung moment na nagbibigay yun nang pera, hehe). So alam niyo naman ang complicated airport natin, kailangan umikot nang napakalayo para makabalik sa airport parking. Hassle! Pagka-park ko, there's no way pala for me to get to the departure area. Walang way. So ang nangyari sa akin, na-stuck ako sa parking. Hassle!

Siguro I was there for more than an hour. Ang tagal mag-check in ni daddy. So after the long introduction, eto na ang story. Hehe. I was just inside the car, waiting. Nakabukas lang yung pinto. Mainit kasi. Doon lang ako. Hindi naman ako gala. Wala akong mapaglibangan kundi ang phone ko. Bagot na bagot na. Until a guy approached me and said, "Hi! I'm Brye. Kanina ka pa namin tinitingnan, you look bored. Are you waiting for someone? A relative arriving?"

I was staring at him for a few seconds before I answered back. Nagulat naman kasi ako. Nananahimik ako oh, tapos biglang may lalapit na nagta-taglish. Siyempre, hindi nagpadaig si TL sa englishan. "No, I'm just waiting for my dad to finish checking-in his baggages. He's leaving today and my mom is waiting for him outside the departure area. I had to park and wait". Oh ayan, mas mahaba yung statement ko. Hehe.

Brye is an interior designer who just finished his studies at PSID, 25 years old and from Pasig. His height is as the same as mine, but his built is way better compare to mine. Hehe. Na-intimidate ako. Leche! Looks and body. But I was surprised to be approached. I'm not good with people approaching me. Lagi akong tameme. Kaya nga pinaninindigan ko talaga ang suplado look, at hindi mahilig tumingin sa paligid para sarili ko lang ang mundo ko.

Wag niyong isipin na in-approach niya ako because he was interested in me. Although it's not a bad idea (hehe), but he has a boyfriend. 2 months na sila (maaga pa, pwede pang sirain, just kidding!) and he mentioned a few details how they met. He was waiting for his mom to arrive from the states. Kanina pa rin siya naghihintay at bored na bored na. Good thing he approached me, may nakausap ako.

Pero eto na ang catch nang story (pahulaan ko kaya sa inyo). Hehe. Anyways, after a few exchange of stories, he then invited someone to join the conversation. A guy came out from his car, and his name is Nick. Walang kahirap hirap sa description, same feature sila. Mas maputi nga lang si Nick, at mas matangos ang ilong (pero ang lips, normal, walang lip spark, hehe). And the only difference nila, walang bahid nang english sa bibig ni Nick. Tagalog kung tagalog. Hehe.

I was introduced to Nick nang ganito, "James, this is Nick. Gwapo no. Mahiyain nga lang. Single yan. Nick, this is James. Oh, wait, are you single James?". Parang gusto kong maglaho na parang bula after nang introduction at question na yun. Hindi ko ma-describe kung paano ako nagmukhang katanga-tanga sa pagka-tameme ko. Hindi ko alam kung nagulat ba ako kay Nick, sa pangyayari, o sa tanong.

This was the best, and exact answer I gave, "Ha? Are you asking me? Do I need to answer?". Ayan! Ayan ang one million answer ko. Parang tanga lang di ba. Hindi man lang ako nag-hi back, at tinanong ko talaga if he's asking me. Malamang! I guess nagulat ako dahil of all the places, of all the situations, I have encountered this moment: SA NAIA PARKING AREA.

Usually, sa mga bars lang yang mga ganyang klaseng meet-up. At kung sinusuwerte ka pa, mga ganung klaseng nilalang ang matatagpuan mo. Hindi sa masalimuot na parking area nang NAIA airport. Hay! Unbelievable. Anyways, ang haba nang side comment ko, going back, I answered naman that I am single. But after a few minutes, I kinda started reading between the lines of Brye. I think I got where he's leading me and Nick, until...

"Oh by the way, James, did you know that Nick is my Ex. We just broke up last month". What the hell!!! Hassle!!! (uy, nag-rhyme). Sila dati?!!! Tapos ngayon, pinapakilala niya yung ex niya sa ibang guy. I mean, sa akin. Ngee! Wait, na-weirduhan ako. Doon na nagsimula kumunot ang noo ko sa loob (naks! sa loob talaga, internal forehead?). Hehe. "You guys are still friends after the break-up?". Tanong ko with pa-innocent face.

"Yes! We both realized na hindi magwo-work ang relationship sa amin. We always fight. Kaya nag-decide na lang kami maghiwalay as lovers, pero maging bestfriends na lang to each other". Hassle talaga! Gusto ko nang lumubog sa kinauupuan ko. Wala naman dapat ika-awkward pero ganun yung pakiramdam ko kanina.

Parang di ko yata kasi kaya yung ganun. Yung ex ko ipapakilala ko sa ibang guy, in front of me. Ngerks! Anyways, they shared a few more stories until mamiko called and asking me to go back to the Departure area na. Doon napunta yung isip ko bigla, kaya nagpaalam na ako kay Brye at Nick. Brye asked for my number, but I was hesitant to give it kasi na-awkwardan ako sa situation. First time kong maka-encounter nang ganun.

Ayoko talagang ibigay yung number ko pero nahihiya naman akong mag-refuse. First, I don't know how to do it or say it, and second, kapangitan ko naman para mag-inarteng wag magbigay nang number. Until naisip kong ibahin na lang yung last digit nang mobile number ko. I swear, puno nang guilt yung utak ko because I felt I lied to a good person. Damn it!

Sana kasi, wala na lang nag-approach para wala akong guilt na binaon pauwi. Tahimik na sana ang mundo ko. Pero ganun talaga, ugly is "in" nowadays. Attractive ang panget na TL na ito. Hehe. O baka na-mesmerize sila sa buntot ko. Hahaha. Just kidding. But seriously, Brye and Nick are such good-looking couple sana. Bagay sila. Pareho silang mukhang tao. Kung naging kami ni Nick, kami na ang 2009 version nang Beauty and the Beast. Hehe.

Wala akong ex that I treat as bestfriend. Siguro, my policy kasi in life is, business is business. If you want me to be your friend, let's be friends. Hindi pwedeng haluan nang kahit ano. Stick to it. But if you want me to be your lover, let's be lovers. You cannot ask me to be your friend. Grabe kasi ako magmahal sa friend. Parang sa lover din. Equal love. Pero I can identify the big difference. Basta, yun na yun. In short, I can never be the bestfriend of my ex. Period!

Fallin'

I never thought Janno Gibbs will play a very important part in my life. He just became a spoke person of my heart. How? His song "Fallin" is the best lyrics so far of my heart's current situation (yes, another corny entry from me. nakakainis na di ba). Hehe. And for some weird reason, kinikilig pa rin ang iba, basing from the emails I am getting. So weird. Kulang na lang magka-fans club na kami. Love team? Hehe.

Anyways, here's a rendition of your very own, singing Fallin' of Janno Gibbs. Corny na kung corny, cheesy na kung cheesy, basta, gusto ko yung kanta. Dedication man o hindi, basta, watch it if you want (bawal manlait, blog ko 'to).



Fallin'
by Janno Gibbs

Our litle conversation
Are turning into little sweet sensation
And they're only getting sweeter everytime

Our friendly get togethers
Are turning into visions of forever
If i just believe this foolish heart of mine

I can't pretend
That i'm just a friend
'Cause i'm thinking maybe we were meant to be

I think I'm fallin', fallin' in love with you
And I don't, I don't know what to do
I'm afraid you'd turn away
But I'll say it anyway

I think I'm fallin... For you
I'm fallin' for you...

Whenever we're together
Wishing that goodbyes would turn to never
'Cause with you is where I'll always wanna be

Whenever I'm beside you
All I really wanna do is hold you
No one else but you has meant this much to me

For the Broken Hearts

It saddens me to know that two of my friends just broke up with their boyfriends. Just on the same week. This is very sad. These two are very close to my heart. And it really saddens me knowing this. That's why I've thought of things I wanna share to them, and for the readers as well.

It's hard to let go of the one you love. But if you know that it will make that person happy, you have to do it. Why? Because even if that person is gone, and no longer yours, you will be remembered because you did not let go just for that person to be with somebody, but of giving happiness.

Although life seems to be unfair sometimes because you always give and you get nothing in return. Always have in mind that if there's something better than giving others the best of what we have, it is giving others the best of who we are. So keep giving despite of receiving nothing. It sucks sometimes, but I tell you, things will return to your favor in the end.

You've got to accept that the pain will be there and may stay for a period of time. Be aware also that your heart will still feel something and will make you cry. But do know that you guys have a friend that cares for you. Someone who believes it can be sewn together. Though the scars won't fade, the stitches will always be there.

Although it becomes hard to know that it won't be easy for you to really love again that much. And crazy to know that sometimes you want to just run from it. And it becomes funny how sometimes you've been doing everything to get out of one place, & when you've found the time to leave, it's when you've found a reason to stay. And it becomes ironic that the person who brings out the best in you and the one who makes you strong, is actually also becomes your weakness.

All I'm wishing for the two of you is that you find someone who can give you a kiss that you will never think that it would be the last. And most importantly, someone who believes in compatibility isn't completely embracing the personhood of your beloved. Instead, it is gaining respect and acceptance despite the inevitable differences in your thoughts, principles, aims, virtues, standards, or preferences.

It's about meeting half ways, regardless of who is at fault. It's unselfishly sharing yourself to suffice the inadequacy of your better half. Above all, it's strengthening someone's individuality without loosing your own. I wish you two eternal happiness because the two of you are good persons. I have loved and embraced you as friends because I saw pure and good hearts in you. This is just a phase in your life. You will be again happy. Mark my word!!!

You know who you are. I decided not to name you guys in respect of what just happened to the two of you. But I'm pretty sure, you can rely on your heart that while reading this, I am pertaining to the two of you. I love you both. Let's take the boat for single people together. At least, we're all in this. Hehe.

Happy 31st Anniversary Folks!

Today is the wedding anniversary celebration nila parents. 31 years na silang kasal. At 28 years ko na silang magulang. Hehe, walang relevance yung part na yun, siningit lang. Haha. They originally planned to have some dinner outside kaso sobrang traffic daw sa SLEX kaya they decided na sa house na lang mag-celebrate. Bumili na lang sila nang food (pizza and ice cream) at nag-ihaw na lang nang pork liempo.


Sa greenwhich sila bumili nang pizza, kaya habang kumakain, naisip kong magpaka-cheesy kay Eugene. Tinext ko na namimiss ko na siya. Hindi na nga ako nagulat sa sagot, sabi "ang cheesy!!!". Sabi ko, kumakain kasi ako nang greenwhich pizza. Haha. Ang corny!!! And of course, the ever famous ice cream. Hay! Tag-bundat na talaga ito. Humanda ka gym sa sunday!!!


Actually, double celebration today kasi despedida na rin ni Daddy. Babalik na siya sa Papua New Guinea tomorrow. Kaya nag-videoke kaming buong gabi. Although humiwalay na si Daddy at nag-inuman na sa garahe with his beer friends (actually upto this very moment, ang ingay pa rin nila). Hehe. Nag-contest na lang kami nang kapatid ko sa kantahan. Paunahan sino mapaos. Hehe.


I am thankful to the Lord for giving me such great parents. They are not the most perfect, but I am still thankful that because of them, I am here in this world (sinwerte ang mundong ito). They two may have faced so many challenges as a couple and as parents, but I'm glad that we have kept this family strong and bonded. I enjoyed dad's vacation this year. Nag-bond kami sa pagpapa-ayos nang bahay.

Congratulations to my parents on your 31st anniversary. Hay! Ang swerte niyong dalawa at nagka-anak kayong ang panagalan ay TL. Hehe. Just kidding. I love you both!!!

Dilemma

There are people in your life who has so much influence in you, that they can easily change your decision, persuade you with your opinions, and transform your views differently. They also affect how you think, you talk, you move, and more so with the choices you make. I have friends who corrects me when I'm wrong, reacts violently when I did something bad, and cheers the most when I succeed.

I have a stubborn head. Maybe because I always know what I want, and I always do what I want to do. Some say I'm hard-headed, some say I'm just driven. I do listen to my friends, pero minsan lang. Hehe. Madalas, sumusuway ako. Kaya sumasakit ulo nila minsan sa akin (did i say minsan? hehe). Pero yung minsang pakikinig ko sa kanila, nadaan na ako sa takot nun kasi dinadaan na nila ako sa sindak at dahas. Hehe.

Mabait naman ako. Hindi naman ako pala-gawa nang masama. Nag-iisip din naman ako kahit papano. Hindi naman lahat katangahan. Although siyempre, meron talaga nun minsan. Kailangan mong maging tanga minsan. Kaya masarap kapag may mga tunay kang kaibigang maaasahan pag nahuhulog ka sa katangahan mo.

Sa ngayon, pakiramdam ko sa sarili ko, nagiging tanga na naman ako sa mga pinaggagawa at pinag-iisip ko. Normally, eto yung part na may ko-corner na lang sa akin, kakausapin ako, papayuhan, o di kaya papagalitan, at sasabihing "tama na, mali na". Pero bakit ganun, hanggang ngayong araw na ito, wala pang gumagawa sa akin nun. Tama na ba sa kanila ang mali ngayon?

"I like him."

Iisa lang ang sinasabi nila. Paulit ulit. Walang pumapalya. One voice, one rally. Lahat administrasyon. Walang miyembro nang oposisyon. Lumipat na ba nang barko ang lahat nang kaibigan ko at nasa kanya lahat nang simpatya. First time nangyari ito. Masaya akong naririnig ko dati ang "Gusto ko siya", at ang "Ayoko sa kanya". Naaaliw ako sa maliliit na discussion. Pero ngayon, lahat sila, "I like him".

I must salute him. He easily got the eyes and hands of my friends. Ngayon lang bumait sa akin ang mga kaibigan ko when it comes to looking for the next one. Hindi ko alam kung nasumpa ako pagturn ko nang 28, o nabiyayaan ako. Maagang sakit nang ulo ito on my new chapter. Kaka-28 pa lang, mind puzzle na agad. Saya di ba!

"Biggest karma mo ito"

Isa din yan sa mga sinasabi nila. Parang script. Parang verbiage. Hindi sila naaawa sa akin. In fact, natutuwa sila kasi I found my karma daw. They are happy that I am experiencing this mental torture that I always love to do with people, whether at work or with the guys I dated before. At ang masaklap pa, they say that I deserve this. Wow! Nag-zero percent ang friends list ko all of a sudden. Wala nang kumampi sa akin. Hassle.

Nananaig na naman ang pride ko. Ayaw kong tanggapin ang maraming bagay. I keep on denying that I'm falling for him. I keep on denying na siya nga ang katapat at biggest karma ko. I keep on denying of so many things. At lumalaban talaga ang loob ko. Walastek. Ibang klaseng challenge ito ha. May nagpa-plot ba nito against me? What did I do???

May mga nagawa na ako. Kanya kanyang opinyon na lang kung mali o tama. Basta ako, ginawa ko kung ano ang gusto kong gawin. Tapos na. Nagawa na. Kung mali man yun, pipilitin kong di na makagawa nang mali pa uli. Baka pagsisihan ko lang ang lahat nang ito sa huli. Ayaw ko. Gusto ko naman maging masaya ang panibagong kabanata sa buhay ko. That's all I'm wishing for.

Isa lang ang hiling ko. Matapos na itong dilemma na ito. At sana may lumitaw na isang kaibigang makakatulong sa akin. Yung makakaramdam talaga kung anong klaseng tulong ang kailangan ko. Tamang solusyon. Tamang paraan. Masakit na kasi sa ulo. Hindi na masaya. Kilala niyo naman ako di ba. Kalaban ko ang utak ko. Hindi marunong magpahinga yun eh. Praning minsan. Hay...

The Way to Diversion Road

Wala lang. Inartehan ko lang yung title. But it's actually just about my little way today in diverting my mind in to something else. Oh well, alam niyo na kung ano ang sinasabi ko. Anyways, after work last night, Joy, Val, Raech, Kate, and Raine agreed to watch Transformers today at ATC. We even reserved our seats via online. So it means, sure na kami sa lakad na ito. We decided to watch the first screening because we thought that there's gonna be a lot of people.

I got so excited about it. Kaso ang ending kanina, kami lang ni Raech ang natuloy. Actually, hindi naman umatras si Raine, she was able to do the 1st screening, kaso ang Joy, nag-request na yung 2nd screening na lang at inaantok pa daw siya. So I asked the others about it, si Raech lang ang sumagot. Si Raine, cannot na kasi kasama na niya pamangkin niya. At ang kina-endingan nga, hindi pa rin kinaya ni Joy. At ang Val, naglahong parang bula sa mundong earth.

Moving on...

Waaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Sorry, I just need to write down my scream. That's my reaction to the movie Transformers 2 that we watched. I wanna use all the "mura" in the world sa sobrang pagka-amaze ko sa movie. Mag-react na yung mga di nagustuhan masyado yung movie, but for me, it was so awesome. Ang lupet! Non-stop action and it was intense. I liked it!


Raech and I realized na dapat may sarili kaming upuan kanina. Kasi feeling namin kami lang yung maingay kanina. Na any moment, may babatok o mambabato na lang sa amin, o di kaya may sisitsit. Hehe. Kung tawa, tawa kung tawa talaga kami. Kung intense reaction, intense reaction talaga kami. Kung heartfelt yung scene, napapa-takip kami nang bibig o di kaya napapaluha kami. At kung kinakailangan sumigaw nang OMG, complete Oh my god talaga.

Nakakainis yung mga tao, especially the kids, I was expecting they would react they way we did, kaso hindi. Bad trip. Solo flight kami. Kami lang yung intense watchers. Hehe. Wala akong masabi (wala pa daw oh), basta malupet the movie. Na-meet niya yung expectations ko. Ay, actually, na-surpass nga niya. I love the robots, I love the effects, Maegan was so freakin' hot, I love the GI Joe trailer, and I was a happy TL after the movie. Na-divert yung utak ko. Galing galing!!!


Tumambay muna kami ni Raech sa DQ before kami nanood nang movie. After the movie naman, dumating na si Joy. Naka-abang na siya sa labas nang movie house na parang nanay na sinusundo yung mga anak sa school. Hehe. Then we went to Starbucks para dun naman tumambay. Doon na rin namin hinintay si Baby Bear. In short, the 4 of us made some tambay, with coffee and pastries on the side, and tons of fun exchange of stories.


Around 9:00pm, we decided to leave and to pick-up Drey at her house. Pupunta kasi kami kay Hazel sa Sta. Rosa para dalawin siya as she got out of the hospital after giving birth to Uno. But before going to Drey's house, dumaan muna kami sa Petron sa SLEX para bumili nang food sa McDo at sa Treats. Gusto kasi ni Hazel nang Ice Cream, at gutom na rin kami kasi di pa kami nagdi-dinner.


After picking up Drey, we went to Sta. Rosa na. Finally, I saw Hazel again, and their new apartment. Her sister Gretch was there, and of course, my uber coot inaanak notnot, and Hazel's hubby, Aldrin. Super kuwentuhan lang, at super share si Hazel nang panganganak moments niya. Siyempre, ang humor level ni Hazel, andoon pa rin, hindi nawala (thank God). Kaaliw pa rin to the max.


Kaso hassle lang, puro girl talk. Pinag-uusapan nila eh about "suso" at ang sub-topics about that like itsura nun pag buntis, pagkatapos manganak, pano malaman kung ano ang totoo at fake, ang word na nipples at iba pa. Napag-usapan din ang pubic hair at kung ano ano pang hair and waxing. Di ba, hassle! Wala akong makausap na may same interest of topic. Saya saya!


But being with these girls are so much fun. Mix of personalities kasi but fun kapag nag-jive. Ang mga punchlines ni Hazel, ang mga out of nowhere ni Drey, ang mga arguments ni KG, ang mga english ni Raech, at ang mga side comments ni Joy. Saya saya. At siyempre, nung uwian na, manong driver uli ako. Tagahatid nang mga bayarang babae. Just kidding! Hehe. I so love these girls. I had fun.

Going back nga, it was a nice way to divert my mind. At least, for a number of hours, nag-iba yung tinakbo nang utak ko. At ngayon, paantok na ako, ready to sleep na. Perfect! Bukas, ano naman kayang paraan at pagkakataon maiba ang iniisip nang utak ko. Goodluck! Nawa'y tulungan ako nang inang bansa. Hehe. Good night everyone!!!

Song From Nowhere

Hindi ko kinaya ang mga comments about that infamous entry. Nagmumukha nang friendster ko dati, may mga nagtatalo na. Di masaya! But what can I do, everyone can place their comment. And all I can do is to respect the opinion of others. Kanya-kanya nga naman yan nang interpretation. Pero uulitin ko, it was just my way of expressing what I feel. With a single purpose of letting him know what I feel. Period. That's it. End of the story.

Ang hirap mag-express nang saloobin kasi alam kong nagbabasa siya nang blog ko. Ewan ko ba, sana di na lang niya nalaman itong blog ko para nasasabi ko lahat. Bilib din ako sa kanya, nahanap din niya after our first date. Ngayon, alam na niya lahat sa akin. Ang dami kong gustong isulat, andaming thoughts, but I can't.

Funnee while I was staring at my laptop for 15minutes trying to figure out what to write, and that's without any mix of exaggeration, suddenly these words came out from my mouth: "What is this I'm feelin', I just can't explain...". Imagine the set-up. 3:45am. Everyone is sleeping. The village is so quiet. I can only hear the ventilation in my room. No music. It's so quiet. But suddenly, this song came out from nowhere.

What is this I'm feelin',
I just can't explain.
When you're near, I'm not just the same.
I try to hide it, try not to show it.
It's crazy, it could'nt be..

I've fallen for you.
Finally, my heart gave in.
And I'm fallen in love.
I fin'lly know how it feels..

When you said hello, I look in your eyes.
Suddenly, I felt good inside.
Is this really happ'nin?
Or am I just dreaming?
I guess, it's true. I can't believe..

I've fallen for you.
Finally, my heart gave in.
And I'm fallen in love.
I fin'lly know how it feels.
So this is love..

Doesn't matter where I am,
thoughts of you still linger in my mind.
No matter what time of day.
I've really, really fallen for you...

Hindi ko talaga alam kung saan galing at bigla kong nabanggit itong kantang ito. Kumakanta na ba mag-isa ang puso ko? Inlababo na ba talaga ako? Tinamaan na ba talaga ako? Bakit panay banggit ni Drey kay Mr. Smart pero wala na akong pakialam? Napalitan na nga ba siya sa puso ko? Yes! Parang pagmamay-ari ko na si Mr. Smart noh. Hehe.

Shet! Mali na ito. Maling mali. Nagbabalik high school na naman ako. Kailangan may gawin para maitigil na ito. Kailangan ma-divert ang utak ko. Wala nang iniisip kundi siya. Shet!!! Ang cooorny!!! Parang tele-serye lang ni Marvin at Jolina, yung "Adik sa'yo". Na-adik na ata ako sa kanya. Hehe. Pero tama, dapat nang tigilan ito. Kasi kung ano ano na ang nakakanta ko... Hay!

Tama, matutulog na lang ako...

Into Your Eyes

"When I first looked into your eyes, each breath became a thousand sighs...

My heart drummed out a thunder beat, I glowed with joy from head to feet...

When I first looked into your eyes, all time and space were paralyzed...

And in that instant I was shown a universe I had never known...

I dwell there still, in Paradise, when I looked into your eyes..."

Long Live Buntot!

Nagwagi na naman si Ash. Siya lang ang bukod tanging nakikipaglaban para wag ipaputol ang aking buntot. Hehe. He has convinced me well kaya I was able to keep it during my last hair cut before my birthday party. Actually, I was ready to cut it na and have a different hairstyle pero natakot lang kami because it's a risk baka mamaya hindi maganda ang kalabasan, eh may party. Kaya I maintained the same style muna, just had some trim lang.

Sinamahan ako ni Ash sa Fix last friday. And finally, nakahanap na ako uli nang stylist sa katauhan ni Jeff, na alam kung ano ang gusto ko. In fairness, magaling siya. Kaya lang naman ako hindi makapagpalit nang stylist sa Fix dahil matagal na akong customer ni Nilo. Kaso, bago ako lumipat nang Toney and Jackey, hindi ko na nagugustuhan ang mga gupit ni Nilo sa akin. Kaya as politely as I can, umalis na lang ako nang tahimik para di magtampo.

Kaso nga, etong Toney & Jackey, inilipat sa Cebu yung favorite kong stylist kaya puro massacre stylists na ang pumalit. Simula nun, hindi na ako nakahanap nang gusto kong stylist. Bumalik na naman ako sa pagkakataong ako na lang uli ang naggugupit sa sarili ko just to get what I want. Yes! I do that. Before, siguro mga 1 year and a half, ako lang gumugupit sa sarili ko (pati sa buhok nang ex ko, hehe). Pero nung nag-iba nang hair style, kinailangan ko na nang professional.

But I'm glad that thru Ash eh na-meet ko si Jeff, although awkward lang kasi same Fix salon where Nilo is, hindi ko na lang pinansin just for the sake of my hair's future (may ganun?). Yesterday, before going to work, binagyo na naman utak ko at naisipan kong mag-trim uli for a change. May gusto kasing hairstyle si Eugene for me that he said that night kaya parang na-convince akong sundin. Hehe. Lakas tama talaga siya sa akin. Sinunod ko ang gusto. Hehe.

But of course, the buntot will still remain. Hehe. Panatang makabayan ko yan. Hangga't di ako napo-promote o hangga't single ako, hindi ko puputulin ang buntot. Maghuramintado man si Raech sa pag-ayaw sa buntot ko, hindi ko muna tatanggalin yan. Hehe. Hanggang sa dumating ang tamang dahilan para tanggalin ko na siya. When? I don't know...

Splendid Splendido

Last thursday, I took some time off at work as my dad asked me to drive him off to Tagaytay for a Golf competition. It was held in Splendido Golf Country Club. We left early in the morning as the game will start at 7:00am. Mamiko was with us. We got there exactly on time, as there was no traffic and the road was just as smooth. I so love driving to Tagaytay. It calms my mind and my heart.


I never got attracted to Golf. I feel it's a boring hobby. But it looks peaceful and relaxing. That's why when dad asked me to try it, so I did. Funnee with my first strokes but it was enjoying. But of course, I only tried a few swings during their breaks. When the competition started kicking off, mamiko and I left the golf club and went to Tagaytay Market for another shopping spree (of fruits and meat). Hehe.


I just love going to Tagaytay market. I just enjoy seeing so many fruits for some reason. That's why it's a must for me and mamiko to go there when there's a chance. And when we go there, we buy like there's no more tomorrow (here I go again with this statement). We bought pineapple (tons of it), guyabano, bananas, peanuts, jackfruit, and beef. We had our lunch there for a sumptuous bulalo. Yumyum!!!


After our lunch, we decided to go to Starbucks while waiting for dad's competition to end. There, we just had some coffee, while I was working on some blog entries. Mamiko was just there, doing people watching as she has nothing to do at that time. It was a relaxing thursday for me. No work. No stress. Just having a peaceful life. Am I getting old enjoying peaceful life? Hehe. Damn no!!!


It was a great time spent with my parents. I always enjoy driving them to anywhere. It's my way of expressing my love and gratitude. I might enroll myself to a golf class that my dad has recommended. It's a nice hobby to have. It's true that it is relaxing. He even asked me to get a house in Tagaytay so that when he retires, he'll just stay there and play some golf every weekend. Sosyal!!!

H1N1 Mania

This virus became so phenomenal and has hit the world in a snap. Originated from Mexico, and now, present in the Philippines. Everyone is talking about it. Some are getting paranoid. Some still don't care about it. And I think I am one of them. I was too confident that I have a better Immune System now to protect me from any virus or any sicknesses floating around the air.

But not until yesterday. I did not go to work last sunday. I was on leave as I have planned to just get some rest after a tiring party. When I woke up the next day, I started feeling heavy (not literally). My knees are feeling weak, and I don't have a strong appetite. When I start eating food, I will have the tendency to discontinue it. Ending is, I will return to my room and slack off my body to bed.

Monday afternoon and it's time to go to work. Still feeling sick and heavy, but I have to go to work. I have so many things to do and finish. Going on leave even just for one day will leave you tons of things to do. That's why I have to go to work. After getting there, I went straight to the clinic to have myself checked and to get some medicines.

I wasn't surprised when my temperature was checked and I was told that I have a low fever. My temperature is at 37.2. I left with my medicines and started working. I was struggling, but I was fighting. I cannot afford to get sick. I hate being sick. I hate being stucked in my room doing nothing. I gave myself a chance last night, thinking that maybe, my body is just missing my regular routine, which is work.

End of the shift, still feeling sick, I went home immediately to get some rest. Now, I wake up feeling a little bit better, but I still feel some heaviness. My mind is contemplating if I have to work or just give my body a rest to completely recover from this. I am starting to get this fear that I might actually have this virus. Why? Because I have most of the symptoms of it.

I have fever (although just low, the nurse said a person must have a very high fever), I feel some muscle pain (my knees feels weak), I have poor appetite (but not so very poor, I can still eat), and now, I have sipon. I am doing self medication. I doing my best to prevent myself from getting sick. The H1N1 paranoia is actually helping me medicate myself. It pushes me eventhough it's a normal fever (for now) only.

A lot of people are feeling sick these days. Maybe because of the weather as it changes from time to time, or the type of foods available in the society now, and the lifestyle of people. I am sticking to my commitment to take care of my health. Still won't smoke, not drinking, continous work-out, avoiding pork and junk foods, and having a positive lifestyle. Health is wealth. A healthy person can do a lot of things in his/her life compared to a non-healthy person...

Take care of your health readers...
