And Speaking of Updates...

…I'm too lazy na to post on my 365 project. So yeah, ang tamad ko, pakshet. Anyways…

Hi.

Fumi-feeling physically fit ako ngayon dahil napasubo akong tumakbo for my first ever, as in evurrrrr, 10k run on April 9 dito lang din sa Alabang. Hinatak lang ako ni Hani ko na sumali kaya binigay ko naman ang matamis kong Oh-Oh. At wag ka, night run ito. Kaya kung himatayin man ako sa daan eh ok lang. Walang makakapansin (hopefully) sa akin.

"Ay si Felipe hinimatay… tapakan natin!"

Baka mapagkamalan lang akong patay na aso sa kalye.

* Chos.

O kaya road hump.

* Chos-chos.

O kaya tae ng kalabaw.

* Chos-chos-chos!!!

Kaya kanina kinarir ko ang 10k sa treadmill. Haggard. Akala ko ang 10k parang mula lang La Salle Zobel hangang Alabang Country Club. Malayo din pala. Inabot ako ng 1 hour and 10 minutes. May kasama nang alay lakad sa time na yan. Siguro nga makakayanan ko ang takbo na yan kung sa actual race may kasabay akong aircon at TV.

* Ultra electro magnetic chos!!!!

Now Performing: Care Divas

It's a story about 5 gay care givers working in Israel facing different situations in a bomb torn country. Ito ang pinanood ko kagabi at ang masasabi ko lang ay… SHET ANG GALING-GALING NILA!!!!! It was hilarious and serious at the same time. Ricci Chan rocks the house. Free seating kaya ang swerte lang namin napa-upo kami sa front row. My suggestion is take the 3rd, 4th or 5th rows para kita mo ang buong stage.

BASTA, I highly recommend this play. Kung nagustuhan mo ang Zsazsa Ze Muzikal, ma-gugustuhan mo din ito. May sing and dance din kaya para sa atin ito mga Becky!!!!

Care Divas is showing at the PETA Theater (Near E. Rod. Malapit lang sa Fahrenheit bakla!) every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 10AM and 3PM, until March 13, 2011. Once lang yata yung 8PM performance and that was last night only.

For tickets, call PETA at 725-6244, 410-0821.

Bonjour Big Boy!

Ching!

Self portraits I did in 2007.



O… di ba ngrrrk? But sad to say, hindi na nag-improve ang katawan ko.

* Hmph!

Two more months, summer na. Pero ang tiyan ko parang three months pregnant. Ewan ko ba. Kahit na ilang beses kong binalak na maging balingkinitan, sinasapian pa rin ako ng kaluluwa ni Porky Pig.

Oo. Deadz na si Kuya Porky. Kumain ng isang buong Peking Duck sa Peking Garden. Hayun, inatake sa puso. Nakikiramay po ako sa lahat ng mga chub chaser.

* CHING!

Now back to me. Naiingit ako sa mga hotness na PLU kapag nagbo-browse ako sa facebook. Lalong-lalo na kapag naka board shorts sila at wala akong makitang bilbil in all directions. Wala bang trabaho ang mga 'to at nakatira na sa gym? Para bang feeling ko ang lufet-lufet ng life sa akin at isinumpa akong magkaroon sa salbabida.

Anyway, sabi nga ng isang kaibigan ko, may two months pa rin naman. May two months pang maaaring umasa sa milagro.

*ching, ching, CHIIIIIIIIING!

I Wanted a Cat - 365 Project

But I'm always surrounded by dogs.

Sunday Afternoon with the Puppy

When I bought my puppy 4 months ago, I also bought a pack of doggie diapers. But I later discovered that even if it was the smallest size available, it was still too big for a 1-and-a-half-month old pug. Now 4 months later, upon seeing the pack of diapers again, I had one piece tried on my dog. 4 months gave him enough time to grow big enough to finally fit in one puppy diaper. He can use it if I decide to bring him to the mall or let him hang around inside our house, without my Mom tailing him around. Big Boy hates them, but I think he looks cute wearing one. The problem with the doggie diaper is that Big Boy's bung hole is so close to his tail, the diaper's tail hole also exposes it. So in effect, he can only use it for peeing.

Because he was in diaper mode today, I let him stay in my room for a while. Then I thought of having our pictures taken together. Yesterday I bought a Canon 50mm F1.8 lens for my camera from Digital Walker in Powerplant. And today was just a perfect opportunity to have it tested. We never had a picture together before. This was the first time.

I'm still choosing which picture to print for my empty picture frame. :)

Not Smiling Today - 365 Project

Silver Swan

Walang duda, I have very low self-esteem. Pakiramdam ko kasi napaka pangit kong tao. Well, slight lang naman. Noong bata pa ako, pagkagising ko sa umaga, nagugulat ako sa sarili ko kapag tumitingin ako sa salamin.

"Ngyak may shokoy!"

Ako lang pala yun.

"Ngak may shyoke!"

Korek ka diyan bakla.

Feeling ko talaga nang magsabog si Yahweh ng kagandahan at kapogihan sa Alabang, ina-assemble pa lang ako ng mga magulang ko sa kung saang motel sa Pasay noong Martial Law. Siguro yung dapat na naging pogi parts ko naging mantsa na lang sa bedsheet.

Tongino, ang chaka-chaka ko. Tapos sa panahon pa ng pagbibinata, dumating ang mas matinding pandidiri sa sarili nang dumating din ang mga tigidig sa mukha. At dahil mukha akong bubble wrap, trinato ko din ang mukha ko nang ganun. Putok, kutkot, gasgas. More kutkot more fun. More putok, more fun too! Sa sobrang fun, lingu-lingo naglilinis ako ng salamin sa banyo (eewwwww...!). Kaya pagtanda ko mukha na akong scotch brite na kinakayod sa pwet ng kaldero.

Mmmmm... Pwet...

Tapos kulot pa ako. Tapos hindi pa ako maputi. Tapos may astigmatism pa ako. Tapos may braces pa ako. Tapos hindi pa ako tumangkad. Tapos ang bobo-bobo ko pa sa school. Tapos lahat ng anak ng mga amiga ng nanay ko matatalino. Tapos wala pa ako hilig sa sports. Tapos cellist pa ako sa high school orchestra. Owenongayon? Eh kasi hindi cool maging orchestra member. Eh kasi lahat ng members ng orchestra namin puro NERD. Eh kaso ako lang ang hindi nerd kaya outcast din ako doon. Tapos ang payatut ko pa tapos lagi akong inuutusan ng mga teacher kasi madali akong utuin tapos hinaharass ako ng PE teacher kasi hindi ako marunong magbasketball tapos hindi ko pa matapos yung project sa work education tapos bumagsak pa ako sa chesmistry tapostapostapostapos potahshet!!!

Tinatanong ko sa aking sarili kung bakit... Bakit naging matsa sa bedsheet yung pogi parts ko? Hu-why oh hu-why? Sayang yuuuuuuun. Kasi si lolo poging chekwa na maputi at matangkad. So alam mo yun? Namana ko dapat. May pag-asa sana eh. Yung mantsa sa bedsheet yun. Yun 'yon, eh!

Well anyway, no use to cry over spilled sperm cells, ganito na ako.

Lumaki akong mahiyain. I got through college with this psychological defect. Hindi naman siguro ako naging psycho case dahil marami-rami din naman ang mga naging kaibigan ko.

Madalas pa nga sila umuutang sa akin, eh.

Alam ko namang mababayaran din nila ako.

Someday.

(pabulong) someday.

Chos.

(Tangina niyo! Mga hudas! Ayheychu ayheychu ayheychu... Huhuhu...)

After college, life was a bit better for me. Natuklasan kong kaya ako naloloka sa classmate kong si Steve dahil isa nga pala talaga akong... Diyosa.

Sa paglipas ng panahon, unti-unti kong natatangap ang sarili ko dahil sa unti-unti na rin akong natatangap ng mga taga lupa. At sa paglipas din ng panahon, lumalakas din ang aking powers. Natutuklasan ko din na may mga katangian ako na nagugustuhan ng ibang mga entities.

"You have a nice smile, Felipe"

"Ganda ng telephone voice mo."

"I like the fact that you're drama-free. Let's meet up again this week."

"You're funny. I like talking to you."

"You entertain me with your pictures."

"I like the way you kiss."

"Everything about you is interesting."

"Ang galing mong chumupa! Ooooh... Ahhhh... Hay jusko... lord... Ang charap... dude, bro, pare... 'te... Shotangina mez.... Aye carambaaaaa..."

Mas matanda na ako ngayon. Mas kalbo na rin, pamana ng lahi ng lolo ko na sana naiwan din sa punyetang bedsheet na yan. Pero kahit na sabihin pa noong isang self-righteous na Atenista (na hinding-hindi magiging object ng aking maturbation dahil di din naman siya pogi... AMBISHOZAH!) na pangit daw ako dahil bitter ocampo siya na ako ang pinili ng Hani ko na boyfriend ko na for more than 3 years (pinatawad ko na siya, pramis), alam kong hindi true yan...

...dahil alam kong mahaba ang hair ko...

...dahil ako... Ako ang diyosang dumila sa mga itlog ng mga pogi at hotness ng mga batis ng E. Rodriguez at Harrison street!

Kaya kung feeling mo chaka ka, STOP, LOOK and LISTEN. Baka naman hindi totoo at na emphasize lang sa FEELING. Meron kang something na pwede mong pahinugin sa panahon. At malay mo (malay niya, malaysia, truly asia), mapapasa-iyo ang powers ng Castle Gay Skull.

May the force be with you... 'te!

Flower Clouds in my Coffee - 365 Project

Afternoon break with Hani at Bona Coffee Westgate.

Unshaved - 365 Project

Haven't shaved for 2 days.

Loyalty

If there's a reason to, I try to have some sense of loyalty on a company that produces a product or renders a service. As in the case of my kwento, on a bank. About 7 years ago, my favored bank was iBank. I loved that bank so much, I even had my BPI accounts closed (transacting with the Ayala Alabang branch was just way too much of a hassle for me, plus the tellers weren't exactly friendly, especially the fat lady on counter 1... sige hanapin ninyo siya kung nandoon pa!). This may be a bit shallow, but I loved the iBank Ayala Alabang branch kasi meron silang piano player and a grand piano inside the branch. It was so bongga. And they serve coffee while you wait in the sofa until it's your turn to be served, instead of standing up in line for several minutes like in most banks. And when you get to talk to the accounts personnel, they make you feel that you're important. Yung hindi ba parang tinatamad silang magsalita tulad sa Metrobank na mas gusto pa nilang kausapin yung katabi nila. Probably this was part of their training. Hindi katulad dito sa East West Bank sa Westgate Filinvest Alabang (o, specific yan ha, sige, SHET kayo), tinangihan ang initial deposit ko 5 years ago dahil lang sa wala akong ID picture na dala.

"Balik na lang kayo bukas with the complete requirements."

So di ko na lang tinuloy. Tangina ang susuplada pa, ang papangit naman. As in! Parang kung saang pinagpulutang college lang na nagtapos ng Commerce at nag-graduate sa bottom 25%. Oo na, mukha akong hampas lupa pero at least mukha lang. Eh ikaw putang ina ka, bumili ka lang ng iPhone naghirap ka na. Pre-Paid sim card pa ang sinaksak mo. HELLER???

* inhale... exhale...

Tongino long. Na-high blood ako nang bonggang-bongga dahil sa imagination kong kakaloka.

Heniwey, as I was saying, I was a depositor at the iBank Alabang branch but because work was mostly in the Parañaque area, I opened another checking account at their BF Homes branch and that's where I met these 2 bank personnel who I always do my transactions with when I am there. NGUNIT SUBALIT DADAPWAT, iBank was later on bought by Union bank and because of this, nagpalit na din ang mga tao sa BF Homes branch. The 2 people I know from that branch resigned and the service I was getting from the new management was REALLY lousy. Para kang nasa palengke kasi parating nagbubungisngisan ang mga tao sa counter. Tapos imagine, ilang months sila hindi nagdeliver sa akin ng bank statements during the migration period and when I tried to ask for copies of these bank statements, ako pa ang gusto nilang singilin for reprinting. Sobrang na turn-off talaga ako. I reopened an account with BPI pero yung sa may South Supermarket, para lang magkaroon ulit ako ng ATM account na madaling ma-access.

A few months later, I received a phone call from the 2 lady personel na kilala ko sa iBank telling me that they did resign and they're inviting me to deposit to their new bank which is also located in BF Homes. So mabilis pa sa natataeng baboy, I closed my iBank account, kumembot ng 1,000 steps 4 blocks away and opened a new account to this new bank on their inauguration day. I was surprised to know na 10 kaming new accounts na lumipat from Union Bank. I am fairly ok naman with the services and how I have been transacting with this bank. Nothing complicatied naman. For 3 or 4 years I've kept an active account with this bank.

Last month I learned that the 2 ladies resigned again, after 3 years, and moved to another relatively new bank with higher positions and presumably a better pay. My office received a brochure of their new bank's services. And this afternoon, as expected, I got a call from one of the ladies again inviting me to open a new account with them. With the kind of job that I have, my personal security is a consideration as to which bank I can open an account with. At dahil ang branch location nila ay hindi maabot kahit ng bituing walang ningning, I gently declined the invite. Di rin naman pwedeng dahil lang sa lumipat sila ng ibang bangko, susunod naman ako. i don't think that's right. I have developed some sort of loyalty to my second bank mainly because I'm satisfied with it. As for the 2 ladies' case, I believe they wouldn't be able to establish a devotion to a company if they keep on jumping jobs. Siguro hindi sila satisfied with their previous company, they're nice ladies pero I don't think it's proper for them to drag their old clients to their new bank like an act of pirating. Walang pilitan. If I'm satisfied with my current bank, why should I make a switch kung ako pa ang mahihirapan because of distance.

And my point is... Punyeta ang dami kong na-type, nakalimutan ko ang punto ko.

We just had dinner at Cafe D'Asie at Bellevue Manila. The food is alright pero my gulay ang bagaaaaaaal ng service.
