3PM Burp

Pucha. Akala ko naman kahit na maaga ang alis ko, makakatakas na ako sa traffic. Hindi din pala. Siksikan sa Parañaque. Siksikan sa Makati. Siksikan pa rin sa Manila. Kahit pabalik ng Alabang, siksikan pa rin. Sana lalakeng hotties ang kasiksikan ko. Eh hindi! Bus drivERs, Truck drivERs, Jeepner drivERs, motorcyle ridERs at jejemonERs lang namaaaaaaaan. Hmph! Nakaka-haggard lang kasi naaksaya ang oras ko sa kalye. Buti na lang tumawag ang nanay ko. Pauwiin na lang daw ang driver ko dahil maglu-Lunch kami sa Bacolod Chicken House sa BF Homes. The best chicken inasal and batchoy in Parañaque... in Alabang... sa South... sa Luzon.... sa Philippines.... sa Universe... PUCHA KAHIT SA MILKY WAY GALAXY!!!!!!!!!!! Waaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!!

Sorry. Kasalukuyang nagsi-swimming sa mantika ang sistema ko.



I should be avoiding mga pagkaing mamantika at batchoy pero inisip ko baka pwede naman ako lumamon paminsan-minsan, kahit na hindi pa officially weekend. Tutal, sumakit naman ang arms ko sa kawo-workout kahapon.

ECHOS sa workout!



Going back home, I rode with my Mom and Dad. As usual, hindi binuksan ng driver ni Mudra ang radyo dahil enough na ang bunganga ni Mudra para talunin ang ingay ni Mike Enriquez.

Oo nga pala. Kahit na ilang buwan ko nang nakikita ito, bothered talaga ako sa billboard ni Greta.



So sa lagay na yan, model si Greta ng sabong 'yan dahil "mayaman" siya at kapag gumamit ka niyan, magmumukhang "mayaman" ka din. Emphasis on the quotation marks. Ehehe ehehe.

I'm just killing some time now. Meeting up the boyfriend within an hour.

Transition

It has almost been a month and even though the new dog keeps me distracted somehow, I am still reminded of Dexter whenever I walk through our garrage. I still miss that big puppy. 10 years ko din kasi kasabay na tumanda yan.

Yun lang naman.

And speaking of the new dog, here's a pic of Big Boy right after I brought him home from his 2nd vet visit last Saturday. One of the few moments he stood still for the camera.



Isn't…. he… a…. CUTIE??

I just wish he'd grow up soon. He's so hyper, I can't keep up with him. But if he's grown up na, I can safely take him out for walks.

Swiped

I'd like to believe na hindi ako magastos na tao. I mean, hindi naman ako mahilig bumili ng mamahaling damit, kasangkapan or iba pang mga gamit. Mukha nga akong patay gutom eh. Pramis. But there are some things na super mega love ko na paniniwala kong magandang pagkagastusan dahil good investment naman, aside from it actually makes me happy. Kamikaze -- my iMac -- conked out on me last week. I didn't panic naman kasi my computer automatically makes back-ups on an external drive using Time Machine (I upgraded Kamikaze from OS X Tiger to OS X Leopard), though honestly I wasn't completely sure if it was really doing it's thing because I never retrieved a back up ever. Kamikaze has been acting up for some months and I was already planning of buying a new iMac pero the kuripot person within was stopping me. Pero ayun. Na deadz ang Kamikaze last week. Witchels na siya mag start ever at biglang tingilingiling ang idea kez na "Go Felipe! Go buy a new iMac. Now na, vaklah. Now Na-ah-ah-ah!"

May source ako sa QC, kay Liteware Computers, na mura magbenta ng Mac computers as in super mega baba, mas mababa pa sa pototoy ni Totoy Mola. Kaya lang low price yun kung cash mong babayarin. Medyo lang mabigat sa kaban yun, di ba? Kaya nag decide akong magbayad nang installment ng 12 months na lang kahit na sa regular price. I checked on the mac.om/ph online store for the price of the cheapest iMac (still with excellent specs, FYI). Ayun keri sa installment budget. Go naman ako sa Powermac store sa Festival Mall. Aba, iba ang presyo nila compared to the online price. Parang 5k pesos more. Kung same price daw sa online store, cash basis.

Naman!

I called up Switch store sa ATC and asked for that same unit's price. Ganun din, mas mahal ng 5k. Tapos nawalan ako nang ganang bumili kahit na babayaran ko pa nang installment ng 12 months kasi parang feeling ko lugi ako. Tapos habang nagmumuni-muni kami ni Hani sa mall, may nakita kaming Electronics Store pero Apple Retailer din pala. Hindi ko na matandaan yung name ng store (pero nasa tapat siya ng Sun Cellular office at iScape Internet Cafe sa Festival Mall) but they were selling iMacs at the same price as the online store at pwedeng 1 year installment.



So bili naman ako and as soon as I got home, I retrieved my back up using Migration Assistant and after an hour and a half, it's as if I'm using my old set up on my new iMac. Everything was restored. Applications, desktop pic, data, movies, pictures, emails… even my torrent downloads. Time Machine is amazing (available on OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard). I now have a higher respect for Apple computers.




So ayun. Ang gastos ng week ko. The other Sunday, I got a new Pug. Happy naman ako. para akong may bagong anak. Gising early para pakainin at ipa-pupu. Last. week, I bought a new iMac (Kamikaze 2!). Brought my old iMac to Liteware para ipa-check kung anong sira at kung pwede pang ipa-ayos. And last weekend Hani and I both bought a new DSLR (I'm selling my Canon 400D, FYI).

Whew! Christmas came too early for me. I'm leaving my credit card at home from now on.

I took some pics while I was doing my rounds in Muntinlupa & Laguna today.



Wala lang. I just wasn't happy. Tapos bored pa ako sa kotche.

I missed blogging. But more than that, I miss being funny.

* Sigh

Talentadong Pinoy

I saw this while passing through Filinvest Alabang this morning.



Amusing. Pero comment nga sa Facebook ko nung na-post ko ito, mukhang delikado. Oo nga, delikado. Walang helmet yung aso. :D

Big Boy

I went to Tiendesitas with the boyfriend to just LOOK at cats. I wasn't planning on actually getting one. But I ended up buying a Pug puppy. Biglaan talaga! I named him Big Boy. That's the name of my imaginary dog (and if I've gotten a lazy persian cat instead, I would have named him Torrent, the name of my imaginary cat. LOL).



He was hyper when I got him from the store. Pero on our way home na to Alabang, Big Boy slept on my lap the whole trip. Either super pagod siya or talagang mesmerizing ang amoy ng Freshmen masculine wash.



ANYWAY, I showed Big Boy our garden, and he ran around like a wild rat. Muntik pang mahulog sa pool. LOL. Right now he's sleeping again. NAKAKAGIGIL! Rrrrrrrrawrrrrrr!!!!!

Ito Lang Ang Masasabi Ko

OMGosh! Twister Fries are baaaaaaaack!!!!

Like like like liiiiiiiiiiike!

Weekend Thingamajigs

I don't know how to write the intro about the weekend I just had but in simplest effort-free description about it, it was relaxing. Well, I'd like to think that it was. Yesterday, Hani was scheduled to do an after-lunch pre-nup shoot as a favor for a friend and I was suppose to accompany him for that. But at the last minute, the couple had to postpone it. And as a result, Hani had more time at the gym while I had... uhm... and extended lunch. LOL. I made a mental note to myself that Saturday is lamon day so I shouldn't complain.



ANYWAY, it's KD's birthday on Monday and the Southies and his S.O. gave him a surprise dinner thingamajig. Actually, it was KD who invited everyone for dinner in Alabang. Hay nako, I'm too lazy to make kwento. Basta, we had dinner at Galileo Enoteca & Deli in Mandaluyong and KD was, uhm, SURPRISED to see us there. Bibili lang dapat siya ng wine. LOL! Anyway, half of the group wasn't there on time (some things just DON'T CHANGE.... LOL) so... yeah, sumemplang ang surprise. Ahaha. I'm wondering if that place is a gay joint because I swear at least four different tables were occopied by badingerzies. How amusing. LOL. I don't know about the pastas but the pizzas were good, as long as they're still warm. Hani and I didn't follow to the group's post-dinner coffee break. We had to sleep early coz we already made plans for Sunday. I brought D home to Las Pinas. I was in bed in Alabang by midnight. And for some strange reason I woke up at 3AM. I went online with my iTouch and chatted for a few minutes with my friend Boyet and then went back to sleep.

I woke up at 8AM because Hani called me on my mobile.

"I'm on my way."

"Patay. I'm still in bed."

LOL.

I had a few bites of breakfast and then went through my usual banyo business. I was ready to go when the boyfriend arrived. We went to Tagaytay in style. (wink, wink). We used the E240. Basta, ganun. We first went to Paseo de Sta. Rosa and did some window shopping. Discovered some new alleys and roads while we were at it.

Then we had lunch at the Fire Lake Grill at the Cliffhouse. Lunch was a bit expensive but Hani says we should have expensive dates sometimes para hindi na lang kami laging parang nasa Food Court. Ahaha. Not a problem with me naman. We plan to dine at hotel Sofitel one of these days but we're saving our appetite for it. We don't really eat a lot na parang there's no tomorrow but I already tried the Spiral Buffet at Sofitel a couple of times and it's like a feast made in heaven. The selection is like endless. Basta, I'd like to go there with the boyfriend when we find the time. ANYWAY, our food was good. My pork steak was impressively tender and Hani's beef was flavorful. Then we had Mochi. Tapos I had Yogurt. Hani was already too full at that moment for yogurt. I was mysteriously still hungry. LOL.



For coffee, we went to Java Jazz, which is after the main road that leads to Sta. Rosa, right beside T house Tagaytay. We discovered this place when Hani and I had an over-night stay at the T House either last year or 2 years ago. It's a cozy little place that has a Gallery wall that features art works of different mediums. It's like your little Sagada or little Cubao X. We ordered their Kapeng Pinoy, which I assume is Kapeng Barako (oh no not again!) with 2 pandesals with palaman for each of us. Sarap ng coffee.

We then had to go back to Alabang because Hani had a badminton game at 4pm in makati. I spent the rest of my afternoon watching my DVD of "Across the Universe" (which I got on sale last weekend at Powerplant) starring Vampire Queen Sophie-Ann. I can't remember her real name. Basta that's her True Blood character. LOL.

So yeah, it was a hassle-free weekend for me. Saya naman. :D

Tommy

If you're a fan of True Blood, may bago akong crush doon. Si Tommy, Sam's brother. Yung shape shifter din. So siyempre, google-kiti-google naman ako to find out more about him. His name is Marshall Allman and he has been doing TV and Short Films for some years now. And check this out, he did a gay short film in 2005. Kaloka ang story. It's about 2 (cute) brothers na naka-inlaban at naglaplapan at nagjombogan. Sounds more like a Pinoy indie-indihan film to me. Pero walang nudity sa film. May konting kissy-kissy, more underwear show but that's it. Pero, la lang. Cute lang siya. Gusto kong pumunta sa Cartimar at bumili ng pet na kasing cute niya. LOL.

Should I Come Home This Year?

I already went last year. I don't know if I'm going this year. I feel lazy na. ANYWAY, The 2010 DLSZ Grand Alumni Homecoming, December 11, 2010. Hosted by Batch '85, co-hosted by: Batches 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010.

Good-Bye Dexter

Dexter. Jan 25, 2000 - Sept 29, 2010

I named you after a crazy cartoon character. We spent the last 10 years growing old together. From the day you were given to me as a puppy until the very last minute we were together, you have been the malambing puppy who always has a smile for me. And I will miss that welcoming smile. You have been very loyal even though I haven't really taken good care of you. But because you have become uncomfortable and I know you're in pain whenever you move due to your age and unkown ailments, I believe it was best to finally put you to sleep. It was painful for me to do this. But it was painful for me as well to see you ache everyday. You were not happy so I know it was time.

I will miss your brown eyes; the way you tap my hand with your nose to tell me you wanted me to pet you, the way you bite your chain when we go out for a walk; the way you lean on my leg when you wanted to be hugged; when we watch the fireworks together every New Year's eve; and many other things.

I'm sorry. And thank you for the years you were with us my dear loyal, happy and smiling puppy. You will always be my baby Dexter. You will have a new life at the Rainbow Bridge. A healthier and happier one.

Farewell.

Plan C

Boyfriend was out of town last weekend. So I had to make sulit my weekend without him. Ang hirap palang mag-isip ng gimmick kapag walang Fafa. Heniwei, Plan A was attend a friend's party in the village. Ok na sana kung hindi lang siya nagkasakit. So that got crossed out. Plan B was get a massage at my favorite spa in Quezon Ave. Yes, alone because it's a ME weekend! ME ME ME ME! And Plan C was attend a blogger's birthday party at a bar in West Ave. At dahil konting tambling lang ang layo ng Quezon ave sa West ave., tinuloy ko na si Plan C at magpamasahe na lang after. Killing 2 birds with one kembot, kumbaga. Masaya naman. As in ang SUHYUH-SUHYUH!. May dance portion pa ng limang diwata na makakabasag sa mahiwagang krystal ng mga discreet. Ma-upload nga sa X-Tube mamaya. ECHOZ! At wow, may beer. Sheht. What is kryptonite to my system lang naman di ba? I'm not sure how many bottles of beer I had. Magiging ok naman sana ako kung hindi dahil sa jowa ng someone-someone na nagtatagay ng Soju. Mixing drinks is BAD kaya. Sino kaya yun???? Kaninong jowa yan?? Sinez keyez??? Ahaha Ahaha. (I know you read my blog, P... ahahahaha). Ang ending, nakatulog ako sa isang room sa bar at di na natuloy ang Plan B. Ang bad trip pa, nagsuka-suka pa ako sa banyo. Nuhkuhkuheeyuh! Salamat nga pala sa McGuardian Angel for showing me the way... To the banyo! Pagkagising ko, umagang kay bonga na. As in 8:30am na. Buhay puta lang naman, di ba? Mas nahuli pa akong nakauwi kaysa may-ari ng bar na doon din daw nakatulog na lasheng. Tama ba yun? Tapos pagkalabas ko nakatambay sa kanto yung mga masahista ng katabing masahian.

"Boss, masadz?"

Smile na lang ako, parang girl sa commercial ng Philippine airlines (shining throoooough...). Tweetums levels pero warak naman ang puke.

Quezon ave to Alabang in 30 mins at para akong nag-drop ng Vallium sa lagay na yan. Kung may nasagasaan ako, sorry na lang po. 9:10am nakauwi ako ng bahay. Nakita ako ng maid.

"ay sir, ngayon lang kayo naka-uwi."

"Hindi! Nag jogging ako!"

Naka jeans at sneakers ako, kamusta naman.

Pagdating ko sa kwarto, inom agad ako ng Biogesic (ingat!) at Vitamin C. HELLO HANGOVER! Hay pucha. Yun lang.

*****

I haven't been blogging lately kasi heavy-gat ang haggard level ng buhay ko ngayon. As in busy-busyhan ang lola mo. Actually, dati na akong haggard. Pero ngayon bongang haggard na. AS IN. But I put up a photo blog site na everyday may post ako. Mga kuha mula sa mga bakasyon, kachorvahan, at eklavus. Nage-enjoy din ako sa Twiiter lately dahil ang dami pa lang entertainment doon. Kaloka ang mga news. Intriga.

That's it for now. Lunch break lang ako ngayon. Fly na!

Kinarir ko Kagabi

Heto ang kinarir ko kagabi. Pumili ako ng ilang litrato na kinuha ko mula sa taong 2008 (not necessarily my best photos, ok?) at ginawan ko ng video. Medyo haggard kasi nagbilang pa talaga ako ng beats sa music pero ok lang kasi nakakatuwa. And in a way, nabalikan ko din sa aking photo gallery ang mga litrato ko sa year na yun.

Dali panoorin ninyo mga beckies bago i-delete ng youtube yung video for violating terms of service. Hehehe.

Sorry, low res ang vid. =(

Va, as in Vangungot.

Para akong engot pero noong isang gabi napanaginipan ko ang camerang ito.



Anong ginagawa ko sa camera sa panaginip ko? Sa totoo lang, hindi ko na matandaan. Pero yung nararamdaman ko sa panaginip na yun ay super happy. Ewan ko ba. Siguro it's a sign na PWEDE NA AKONG MAG UPGRADE! Naka dalawang entry-level DSLR na ako and I think it's about time na bumigat-bigat nang konti ang camera ko.

Ahaha ahaha.

I originally thought of getting the 7D kaso MAHALIA FUENTES. My sister-in-law has one eh heller mayaman naman yun. She bought it in HK. She offered me last month to buy one unit in Hong Kong for me kaso masikip sa dibdib ko that time ang gumastos nang isang bagsakan at in cash kahit ba na mas mura pa siya sa Pilipinas. HENIWEY, ang habol ko lang naman doon ay yung built-in wireless flash transmitter. It's so bongga! I have Speedlites 480 and 580 kaya transmitter at nude model na lang ang kulang, da va?

CHOZ sa nude model.

And then it was announced that the 60D will also have that feature kaya ngayon inaambisyon ko na lang with all my might and all my beauty na bilhin ang camerang yan kapag lumabas dito sa Pilipinas. Mahal pero mas mura kaysa 7D. Tipid na muna nang konti para hindi masira ang budget. Si Hani bibili din kaya dapat manahimik din siya sa gastos.



ISO 6400... I wonder how that will turn out.



Swivel LCD chorva. It's so prosumer. Parang S2 IS. Ang chaka. But keber. I always shoot with the view finder anyway.



This is what I will be buying. Camera body lang since I have my own collection of lenses.

Hay nako hay nako hay nako. Nae-excite talaga ako.

Gulay

Naglalakad ako patungo sa meet-up place namin. Sa kanto ng Orosa at Nakpil. Ayun siya, naka maong at dark green T-shirt na sa sobrang hapit, wala nang mapagtaguan ang mga utong niya. At heto ako, dark jeans, shirt na de-cuello at naka-tuck, 23 years old at marami pang buhok sa ulo. Kinakabahan ako dahil sa mga nakaraang mga EB, minamalas ako. Kung hindi man chaka, ay chakang effem naman.

Maganda ang boses ni Adrian sa telepono. Sabi ko sa sarili ko ok lang kung mukhang monster ang date, wag lang monster na naka make-up at makembot.

“I’m 30 years old, a lawyer. I play basketball.”

Winner. May bongang trabaho. Hindi ako hihingan nito ng load.

Natuwa naman ako sa EB ko. Hindi siya baklitang level falayfay. Straight acting siya. Hindi siya mukhang monster. Sa katunayan isa siyang walking yummy. Naririnig kong minumura ako ng konsyensya ko.

“Putang ina, lucky girl ka. Minsan ka lang makakita ng baklang yummy, wag ka nang maarte. Diz iz it. Diz iz really it!! Ihain mo na ang bibingka mo para makain na. Now na!”

Pero siyempre dapat behave ako tulad ng pagkakakilala niya sa akin.

Lumapit ako sa kanya. Nagkatinginan kami. Nagkangitian. Nagtawanan. Naghalakhakan. At sa lagay na yan, hindi pa kami nag-uusap. Kilig lang. O di ba, ang bakla?

Nag dinner kami malapit sa kung saan kami nagkita. Medyo nagkailangan kami noong una. Iba din yung kaharap mo na dating nakakausap mo lang sa chat at sa telepono. Pero ramdam ko ang paglalandi niya sa akin. Yung kanyang “masarap ang may katabi sa kama.” Ang mga “sana kasama kita kanina habang umuulan.” At ang “masama sa katawan ang itlog na maalat pero masaraaaaaap.” Ako naman hangang ngiti at tawang kolehiyala kasi virginal effect.

ECHOS.

Kinain niya ang manok niya. Kinain ko ang beef ko. Tinikman niya ang beef ko. Tinikman ko din ang chicken niya. Pucha, hindi ko makalimutan ang sarap ng chicken niya dahil sinawsaw ko sa ngiti niyang matamis.

ECHOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Nag cake siya. Nag ice cream ako. Tinikman ko ang cake niya. Dinilaan niya ang ice cream ko. At doon. DOON naramdaman kong lutung-luto na ang bibingka ko. As in READY na po direk, action na!

Habang humihigop ako sa mainit na tsaa, bigla niyang hinawakan ang kamay ko. Napatingin ako sa paligid. Na-conscious. Kinabahan. Nahiya. Tinanong niya ako kung bakit.

“O bakit, nahihiya ka ba?”

“Oo, nabigla ako.”

“Ok lang ‘to. Malate ito. Puro bisexual dito. Bisexual tayo.”

“Correction. Malate ito. Puro bakla dito. Bakla tayo.”

Tapos kinurot niya ako sa pechay. Nag-giggle ako na parang gurl.

“Hihihihihihi.”

Natawa siya. Tinanong ulit niya ako.

“Ngayong nagkita na tayo, gusto mo pa ba akong kayakap buong gabi? Kasi... I like you.”

Sa puntong ito para bang naglevitate ako nang 1 inch, Mary Poppins levelz.

“Sige. I like you too.” Shet. Ang chaka ng sagot ko. Nagmadali kami sa pagbayad para maka-alis na sa restaurant at naka pila na ang mga bakla sa labas.

“My car or your car?”

Kunwari nag-isip ako pero sa totoo lang tinatamad akong mag drive.

“Kotche mo na lang.” Wala naman problema kay attorney.

Maganda ang kotche niya. Maayos sa loob. Pero amoy clorox. Why kaya? Uhm. Habang nagmamaneho siya, hinawakan niya kamay ko. Kinilig ako kasi first time kong maranasan na ipag-maneho ng poging date habang hawak ang kamay. Kasi nga minamalas ako sa mga previous date ko laging walang wheels. Dinala niya ako sa Pasay at nag check-in sa isang drive-in motel.

Napansin kong kabisado niya ang kwarto. Alam niya agad kung saan ang banyo, nasaan ang cabinet, nasaan ang remote ng TV, at nasaan ang mga towels. Parang tour of the love nest, di ba?

“Ligo muna tayo tapos mamaya magyakapan tayo.”

Putang ina lang naman di ba? Kinilig ako kay pogi nang bongang-bongang-bonga. Feeling ko ang ganda-ganda ko nun talaga.

Sabay kami naligo. Naghalikan kami. Shet, sarap. Tapos nagbastusan kami. “Bastusan mo ako, shet ka, bastusan mo ako,” sigaw ng konsiyensya ko. Sinabon niya ang mga bahagi ko na dati-rati yaya ko lang ang maaaring magsabon noong sangol pa lang ako. First timer ako kaya NA-KA-KA-LO-KA!

Pagkatapos mag-towel, hubad kaming lumabas ng banyo pero pinigilan niya ako sandali.

“Akala ko ba magyayakapan tayo? Yakapin mo nga ako, Felipe,” pangiti niyang sinabi. Tanginaaaaaaaa, natunaw talaga ako sa ngiti niya, pramis.

Niyakap ko siya. Tapos naghalikan. Napunta sa laplapan. Tapos tinulak niya ako sa kama. Naglaplapan nanaman. Tapos nagkainan at nagdilaan. Nagdilaan at nagkainan. Name it, I ate it. Nagbaliktaran. Nagtablingan. Nagkiskisan. Nagmurahan. Sa kaliwa! Sa kanan! Sa taas! Sa baba! Sa pula! Sa puti! Sa gitna ng kainan at dilaan, saksi ang nakabukas na TV sa pagpatong ng dalawang itlog na maalat sa bagong lutong bibingka.

Niyakap niya ako sa likod habang nakahiga sa kama.

“Masarap yung ganito, ‘no? Sana laging ganito na lang,” comment niya. Sa akin naman, masarap ang lalakeng yummy. Sana laging lalakeng yummy na laaaaaaaaaaaaang! Natulog kami nang sandali tapos nagbihis kami.

Pasikat na ang araw nang ihatid niya ako sa kotche ko. Bago ako bumaba, hinalikan niya ako at niyakap.

Charap!

Nang makababana ako sa kotche, tinanong ko siya.

“Gusto mo bang mag-breakfast?”

Umiling siya. “Ay, di pwede eh. Nagmamadali ako. Baka late na nga ako, eh.”

“Bakit, saan ka pupunta?”

“Sa airport. Susunduin ko pa yung girlfriend ko.”

Nag-paalam ako at yun na ang huli naming pagtatagpo. Nabigla ako. Girlfriend? Iniwasan ko na siyang i-text o tawagan and I think he got the point. Oo, kumakain siya ng gulay. Makulay ang buhay sa sinabawang gulay. Pero aminin niya, mas masustansya ang pechay ko.

Heller! Vuhay Fa Akez

Ber months na! I can't believe it. Ang bilis ng panahon. Parang nabuntis ka nang hindi mo man lang ninamnam ang kantutan. Oo, sinabi ko kantutan. Baket, BAWAL? Blog ko 'to. Kantutan kantutan kantutan kantutan kantutan! Tapos dadaan ang Araw ng Patay. Tapos Araw ng mga Santo. Tapos anniv namin ni Hani (hihihihi). Tapos Christmas. Tapos Bagong Taon. Tapos Balentayms. Tapos Birthday ko. Tapos babawasan ko nanaman ng isang taon ang edad ko sa facebook profile (ahaha ahaha). Hay shyet. Saan na nga ba napunta ang mga araw ko?

I haven't really been writing lately. Madalas kasi pagod na ako. I don't even have the time to read other blogs kaya medyo nananahimik ako. Pero buhay pa ako. Haggard nga lang.

Nasa hospital pa din tatay ko. Gumagaling naman daw. Pero nase-stress ako kapag nandoon ako. Nakakahimatay talaga ang sight ng catether na yan. Hayz!!



At nakuha ko na nga pala kotche nung sabado. Actually, yung driver ko ang kumuha. Kanina ko siya na drive muli after one week of absence. Noong pinasok ko siya sa Honda Alabang, 3/4 full ang tangke. Pagkatapos ayusin ang mga gasgas sa likod at mag change oil service, binalik sa akin empty na ang tangke. As in may warning light na. Anong nanyari sa gas ko, sininghot nang bongang bonga (in english, inhaled major-major)? Hu-wow pare hardcore. Kaya next time, 'wag magpapa-gas kung ipapasok sa casa ang kotche. Ok Felipe? Hoy Bakla makinig ka!

I really don't have anything to talk about. Wala akong ma-chika. I just have this need to write. Alam mo yun, pampa-kalma ng sistema bago matulog at baka mamaya ma-rico yan ako nang di oras. Haggard. Kasi baka kung anong litrato ko ang ilagay ni Mudra sa ibabaw ng kabaong ko. Baka yung high school grad pic ko pa eh mukha pa naman akong Afro Ninja doon. RAWR!

Here is a pic I took kanina with my Sony Ericsson habang nagmumuni-muni sa lounge area ng Asian Hospital.



La lang. Share ko lang.

Isang Mahalagang Mensahe mula sa Titik "M"

Nakuha ko lang sa text. LOL.

6:15 PM

I guess I haven’t visited The Asian Hospital in a long time. Nagulat ako may coffee shop na pala at iba pang stores baba. As soon as I stepped in the lobby, random thoughts came in my mind. This is where Tito Nonoy died; where I was confined for typhoid; where Botchok died; where my ex boyfriend used to work; where I went after I had a little accident at the gym; etc.



My Dad had an operation on his prostate this morning. My Mom says it was a minor procedure. She tried to explain it to me but I doubt she could understand whatever she was saying.

“Basta, yun na yun,” sabi niya.

And then she showed me on her phone a picture of what was removed from my Dad. Gee, Mom, thanks. Hmmm. Suffice it to say, I’ll never look at BACON or TOCINO the same way AGAIN.

I didn’t do much while I was there. Watched an episode of True Blood (nakaka-adik din pala ‘to ‘no?) on my iPod and then I fell asleep. I woke up when my Mom started screaming. My Dad was vomiting. The nurse earlier gave him pain reliever through IV even though he wasn’t asking for it. Oddly though, most patients daw get this side effect. Well, yun ang nakaka inis doon. Common side effect na nga, binigyan pa rin. And he wasn’t in pain in the first place. Good thing my Mom wasn’t in warrior queen mood. She was calm and relaxed while the nurses were going crazy cleaning up the mess.

If my Dad will behave properly and follow the doctor’s orders (Rest well, drink water, no more soft drinks, don’t harass the nurses, etc.), he should be out by Sunday.

Basta ako, I wanna stay healthy and try to avoid staying over night at the hospital because I DEFINITELY DON’T WANT TO BE CATETHERED! I've seen pictures of how it's done and.... and... and....

V2 Cruz

Alam mo ang problema sa Vito Cruz street sa Manila kaya ang bagal din ng daloy ng mga sasakyan, bukod pa sa mga side street vendor na sinakop na ang daanan ng tao, ay ang mga pedicab na against the flow of traffic na nga ang biyahe, pinapatigil pa minsan ang mga kotche para sila lang maka daan. One Way ang Vito Cruz mula Taft hangang Arellano. Ginagawa nilang 2-way.



The irony is at the corner of Taft and Vito Cruz, doon naka pwesto ang kamakailan lang na sumikat na Manila Police na nag-aayos kuno ng traffic.

Estudyante pa lang ako, laking sakit sa ulo na ang mga pedicab na yan. And for decades, ganyan na ang sistema nila. Obvious lang naman ang solusyon. Disiplina para sa mga pedicab na sumunod sa batas trapiko para hindi naman sila sagabal sa kalye. Kung one way, punyeta, ONE WAY! Pero Pulis Maynila na rin ang nagpapabaya. Siguro wala kasi silang mahuhuthutang pera sa mga de-padyak.

Manila's finest penguins.
