BaKyA...:P and Local Tv.

Terence (Jericho Rosales): Emerald Kailangan natin mag usap, dahil may nararamdaman tayo para sa isa't isa.

Emerald (Sarah Geronimo): Baket...mahal mo ba ako?

Terence (Jericho Rosales): OO, ako ba mahal mo?

HaHaHa, kinilig naman ako with matching na-excite. ;p Joloogs hahaha, :p ito yung mga konting kabakyaan ko. Hindi naman ako consistent na nakaka-follow sa everyday run, minsan lang pag medyo naabutan ko, but personally i like to watch Filipino soaps rin, but and but- sa Channel 2 lang. Kapamilya kasi ako :P. X sa Tv remote control ang Channel 7, except sa news. Kasi I appreciate yung Imbestigador and Saksi as well. Basta Documentary News reporting - okay.

Balik tayo sa soaps, I remember sobrang tuwang tuwa talaga ako sa Kampanerang Kuba,Buntis pa ako noon, and I usually joked na ako si Kampanerang Bundat. :) Mga around that time I saw Anne Curtis with her then-boyfriend (si Paolo Araneta..Paolo ba first name niya?hmm i forgot) sa Rockwell and im almost too jologs na gusto kong sumigaw ng "Imang" (which was her name in Kampanerang Kuba) and go crazy. Pero hindi ko naman ginawa yun haha, It was bad enough that I was wearing christmas tree-printed PJ's malling and worst,hindi naman Christmas - February yun. Chinese Christmas? (lusot ba? ;p)

Hahaha, anyway, Ang na-appreciate ko at present is yung Pangarap na Bituin and Isabella.

Judy just morphed into hotness early this year tama ba? or late last year?

(hindi naman sa hot as in hot ala Lindsay or Paris or Nicole) ..hot item lang kasi parang naka cross-over siya from being tagged siopao, baduy and 'masa' to sexier and more appealing to other social classes. Fitrum Sales went sky rocketing because of her. Being in love with Ryan Agoncillo actually amplified her career as well, unlike unfortunately Jericho Rosales and Heart who pulled each other down sa kanilang serye before na Panday which was almost a total flop. By the way,Heart just came into the picture last night sa Pangarap na Bituin, She looked radiantly beautiful,I think magiging effective siya sa kanyang supporting role here. The Tv Screen did miss her still.

Nga pala okay for your reference,Here's a short insight on Juday's Market ngayon:

Dati saying that Juday wows you and is very pretty is usually most often than not, social suicide (kahit pa pag uwi mo, nanunuod ka rin naman ng Mara-Clara at naawa kay Mara) pero ngayon hindi na. Your comments are most welcome sa society today. :) Juday is like blooming kasi ngayon. and may fashion sense na :) Plus the given talent na talaga namang she can act. Parang she's reached that star na Philippine TV Legend na, along side Sharon, etc.

******
So yun wala lang, na share ko lang kasi nga nanuod ako kagabi.

In between commercials ng movie ni Kim Tiu and Gerald Anderson with that lame drama punch line:

Kim tiu:
" Bakit ang bike na pre-preno? Bakit ang celfone, na lo-lowbatt? Bakit ang puso......hindi napipigilan ?"

WhaaaaAAAttttt.....nakakagalit. Sana naimprove pa yung script. kasi parang corny and irritating ang dating kesa touching. (I think Kim and Gerald should move on with ibang ka-love team, wala naman na silang sparks eh after PBBTeen1, although sabi nila mabenta pa rin daw outside NCR and sa TFC. hay fine.who cares...)
and isa pang nakaka annoy na commercial is yung sa Max. Yung lalaking may ulo sa tiyan niya na nag iingay...wala na bang ibang ideas jan? hmm and
After ko rin nun manuod nung movie na "Wrong Turn" another morbid thriller film - ala' The Hills Have Eyes, so-so.

Buti pa yung pinanuod namin ni Ryan last Sunday, The Four Feathers. Grabeh tearjerker, Heartcrimping movie. Sobrang bilib me sa story and personality ni Harry (Heath Ledger- cutie pa rin up to now) and Kate Hudson talaga is the beauty na hindi nakakasawa, very cute. The casting was good, the story - lahat. :)

Abangan ang susunod na kabanata...lunch muna ko. :)

JUST THOUGHTS ON SOME CURRENT NEWS

Im not trying to be a news writer here, but its all over the news. ZTE Big issue. Big witness, Secretary Neri is said to be yet another significant key to solving who's the boy crying wolf and who is telling the truth. But what a coincidence, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo decides to take Sec. Neri along with her on her trip to New York, on the eve of the Senate Hearing when Neri is supposed to take the stand. Coincidence. Coincidence..hmm Why does the President have to drag him along when she knows first hand that Neri's testimonies would be helpful to solving the issue? Is she trying to drag the case, hiding the cards longer, Is she trying to protect her husband? Has she been conspiring with her husband? All haka-hakas. All questionable acts, which even if the Filipino ask, the Government is all deaf ears and rather snickering at such unimportant black propaganda.
???
Also,I think Neri is still undecided as to what to confirm and not confirm, I understand this is a hard decision to make for him and his family. Para silang yung burger patty sa Hamburger. Ipit. But, If he goes on undecided, this means that He is yet to be helpful to solving the case, but rather he is just another floater- as good as the 'no comment' line is. I remember a professor of mine back in UST, he told us that when you are given a choice, you have to choose, you cannot say slightly yes and slightly no. It is either yes or no. Anyone who takes a stand in between go to hell-Politics. No balls-no glory. I dont know if this applies to all aspects of life but for politics, it can. I dont know what it is like to be in Neri's shoes right now.

Anyway,Regardless of what underlying ulterior motive is driving Joey De Venecia III, to carry out such an expose' against FGMA, I believe him to be telling the truth. Whether if its his way of getting back for the contract which could have been his company's or whether he is planning to fragrantly enhanced the family name (which at the same time is irony, especially for his father), I believe him.

FGMA has no whatsoever authority in the government other than being the husband of the President but he seems to be very influential and hard to tackle down ever since, and in spite of.. all the controversy he had been previously linked with. The Arroyo family has struggled succesfully escaping questionable issues after issues. "Tapal Bulka Seal." Everything basta tungkol sa Arroyos', kahit anong kontrobersya, is just plain haka-haka, black propaganda, or ridiculous speculations their camp would always say. I mean Harap Harapan na. I think any Filipino can say "hey huli ka na" and they can still say " Hindi totoo yan" like its nothing. Psychological manipulation, o Mass Helplessness? I mean no further questions, they can turn the fire on you. when its supposed to be burning them already. The Garci incident na lang. Hay...

What does Luli want? (OR is she just another attempt to distract or divert the attention of the people?) anyway Just because she is hurting (which as a daughter, is given and understandable) for her father being the highlight of the katiwalian, and after just a very recent medical operation, she needs the country to sympathize and verdict his father not guilty based on that?
Everybody hurts, Luli. Everybody hurts.

Judging Joey based on his past mistakes in retaliation is very unprofessional and even in a personal circumstance, setting aside all politics involve, is unwise for a woman of her knowledge. Frankly speaking, she was desperate to say something against Joey, and thats all you can find on him? ex- addict ( to what... marijuana?) Im sorry but very Lame. No one is judging you back Luli, as you say you have lives we dont know about other than your politically inclined life, but then again, all that is irrelevant to the issue isnt it? I dont get the point why you brought up your personal issues in the first place. Im a nobody, I dont know you personally, I dont know anybody involve personally , but then i dont have to.

Joey de Venecia III, I am not your fan, but you just do what you need to do.

Speaker Jose De Venecia, close and loyal friend of the President, father of Joey on the other hand only need to remind himself that he is also in this case, the father of Congress.This, i heard sa Radio sa taxi one morning and I agree.

I think I heard him say sa TV news that He already advised GMA to cancel(or whatever terminoloy is more suitable) the ZTE contract and trash it once and for all. And then what? what next...

I dont how this will turn up in the end, or kung interesado pa ba ang tao by then, Ang masasabi ko lang ay ...to Something certainly doubtful, there is obviously something wrong.

Paranaque

birthdays!

Appearance at Paranaque last Saturday. We could have more appearances.. but we lived from point A to Point B, if only we could have a middle point, right? :) I hope they dont get the idea that we dont like dropping by, It is just that the area is too far away and there are also a lot of things to consider since we travel as a family-Czesca being the number one for consideration, if she is feeling well, etc. so yun..Im sorry we couldn't drop by more often ;( but thank you for keeping your doors open. :)

I attended my father's post birthday celebration last Sunday. If I am calculating right, I think he just turned 45 , no joke..bata pa noh? ;). anyway, So we've known each other for 3 years now. The relationship and comfort level is gradually progressing positively. I think we're all doing okay. although my mother is still hung up on the negativity of the past regarding what happened between them.

Anyway....The cheeks, the shape of my nose, the blink of my eyes, heritage.
I am reminded. :) nakakatuwa talaga..nakaka-amuse.

Unfortunately...there were no photos to celebrate on for the after party, aside from cellphone shots because no one had brought their camera. I forgot to charge mine. (Excused :). ) I think Czesca had the most fun. walking and strolling and walking and walking and walking everywhere. ang likot as always :)

It was also the day for my first Rambutan. A reddish Garapata-looking fruit (or so my father described it). It tasted okay, but I can not say I will list it up as one of my favorites. Actually people, the truth is, I think I dont really have a favorite fruit since I eat only a namely few such as Mangoes, Apples, Oranges, Strawberries, Lanzones, Grapes, Santol, Pineapple (juice form) and Laya on occassional terms. O di ba ang dami? i dont like coconuts, melons, watermelons, atis etc...the list of i dont eat fruits goes on. My favorite that time was The Hong-Ba/Hom-Ba... (Or the sweeteened Adobo in my world ) which was delicious. Yummy. My mother was right,Lola Chit's cooking is great! Todo-bola :) pero totoo yan ha :)

My brother though (the eldest) and I are no longer talking as much as we used to do before when we just met each other. Walang Tulugan. ngayon...Walang Pakialamanan. :) joke. But its okay. We are siblings. We are inevitable in each other's world. we'll have lots of chances in the future. :)

What I like about paranaque is that eventhough We have all only known each other for a short time pa lang, they never fail to make us feel welcome and feel 'family'. And everytime, naiiwan sa isip ko yung picture na andun sila lahat sa gate and they are smiling and waving goodbye as they see us off na talagang parang they'll miss us. In conclusion,Its a good feeling to know I also have this family as well as the one I have grown up with. and what i appreciate the most is the sincerity. :) Im very lucky indeed. :)

Thank you very much for your kindness, your warm welcome and for all your love. :)
See you all soon.

Die Another Day

Thank God for my period,period means im a bleeder, which means the dentist can't pluck out my wisdom tooth for the rest of the weekend. Que Horror delayed. phew! :)

BEERS ARE BETTER THAN GIRLS YOU SAY. gago.

There is no best time to meet yourself than when you dont know who you are,no best time to find yourself than when you dont know where you are and no best time to know where you are going than when you are lost, and no other best time to find the strength in your heart than when you are completely weak.

You dont have to be a genius to understand what i mean, you only have to want to survive.
and You just have to stop being stupid.
I dont even have to tell you what to do next, stop waiting for someone else to save you and save yourself now.
It is not that i am not sympathetic, i am, but there are things you need to hear other than how damaged you are.

If you are torn to pieces, stitch yourself.
If you dont know where to start. ask yourself where you are right now literally and start there.


Like I always say....
Life will always hit you where it hurts, if that keeps surprising you, you will die young.

If you survive this, ma - rerealize mo, there is more to life than the world you trapped yourself in.
and for the things you were not, for the things you were...learn to do the hardest of it all.
Forgive yourself.

kelan mo maiintindihan that the worth you give yourself, is the only true worth you will always be, until you learn to value you yourself more.

if anybody says i dont know what its like, ill kick them in the face.( pero luhod kayo ha kasi hindi ko kaya sumipa ng mataas.)
If you need anything else, I'll be there.

Cyberlife

I google. I friendster. I multiply. I youtube. I blogspot. and so on...Internet is so imminent in my life that Url Addresses have become 'Verbs' in my vocabulary.

Laki sa Lola

Last Sunday was grandparent's day.
I was able to greet my Amah who is now residing in Florida.

Ang Lola ko at ako...
Here are a few memories:

* Watching Chinese Films in a very old Chinese Theatre in Ongpin.Sa sobrang luma na, kami na lang dalawa ang nanunuod.This place was torn down and we know it now as the "Presidents Restaurant."

* 1 peso per chinese word spoken. 2 Peso per throwing the trash out. 1 peso per using of chopsticks instead of spoon and forks while eating. Evertyhing is business hahaha :P Chinese way. dati pa ito ha... nung mga 6 years old pa lang ako :)

* At the height of cellphone popularity, I was not allowed to own one up until i was already in my senior year in high school. Hindi na uso ang 32-10 noon ang uso yung mga 82-10 Nokia phones. Jologs na rin ang may antenna na phone. and my amah gave me ....for my first celphone ever my own Alcatel ala safeguard social suicide phone. :P shempre i love it, ma hu-hurt si amah pag hindeh. haha yun nga lang super tinatago ko na lang sa bulsa or sa bag pag nasa school ako hehehe.

* Minsan naman pag uwi ko naabutan ko siya sa rocking chair, may kinakalikot siyang Nokia 61-10. by then college na ako sa UST. Extinct na ang ganoong phone noon, alam ko na nga para sa akin yun eh, kasi nakangiti na siya, tapos isa isa niyang pinagmamalaki sa akin yung features ng cel, sabi niya" wow ang ganda neto...may phonebook.. at high tech may calendar pa" (spoken in chinese fukien) , shempre kailangan shock na shock ako sabi ko nga " wow oo nga noh... wow thank you amah.." :) nakakatuwa talaga yun. Hey its always the thought that counts!!!

* Pag may sakit ako akala mo death stage na ako eh, todo di matutulog yan, aircon, at ang walang kamatayang 7-UP (buhay na buhay si Fido Dido sa buhay ko noon ;p) at Ma-hu (yun parang brown na dry na coarse strips na nilalagay sa lugaw). Mega massage sa ulo and sa back and sa kung saan saan pa na nangangalay.

* Everytime mag fly back siya to US, parang panic buying tinatambakan niya ako ng mga favorite ko, pork n beans, shampoo, toothpaste, pati nga napkin eh, parang pang 1 year supply.

* Haha yan kasi si amah, minsan pag nag ca-casino or mahjong di na yan umuuwi, so one night i thought di na siya uuwi so mega feel na feel ko mag gugulong sa kama, hephep 'PAK!!!' nagising na lang ako nang mag landing sa mukha ng lola ko ang kamay ko. umupo nga ako kaagad at sabi ko sa kanya " im sorry ama...sorry" at si amah alam niyo ano ginawa? very forgiving...Walang sabi sabi, gumising, umupo, at sinapak din ako sa mukha bago humiga ulit at natulog...waaaaahhh iyak talaga ko noon. ;p

* Minsan naman may earthquake noon, nasa terrace kami. Sabi niya" Bilis halika dito". at ako naman ewan ko ba, medyo natatawa ako kasi yung mga kapitbahay namin kumapit sa wall na parang mga butiki, finally lumapit na ako kay amah at sabi ko "amah....kung mamamatay ...mamamatay" sabay "PAK!!!!" sinampal ako ni amah at inalog alog ako at sinabing nasasapian daw ako ng masamang spirit... o di ba? :P ahahaaha ;p

Actually marami pang iba....
Si amah one time sabi niya " Naiinggit na mga pinsan mo sayo, bakit sila di ko pinapaaral etc etc...ikaw oo. mabuti pa pabayaan na rin kita..."

I said " o di sige..alam mo amah.., maraming meron sila, and ayaw naman nila mag aral, ako ikaw lang meron ako, ikaw nag aalaga sa kin, kung wala ka na...wala na rin ako..."
Ang dramaa!!! hehehe ;p
Happy Grandparents Day!!!

wait for me, fly kami jan...:) you just wait!

ERAP : GUILTY OF PLUNDER case

ERAP PARA SA MAHIRAP (his popular slogan) was convicted not guilty of Perjury but Guilty of Plunder. Life imprisonment equivalent to 20-40 years of imprisonment. Today is a big day for both Erap Supporters and anti-Eraps a.ka. Pro-Gloria mostly. I am in the office right now listening to Korina Sanchez on the Radio on news for updates on the decisions, feedbacks and replay of the said conviction. It has been around 6 years already since Former President Erap Estrada started waiting inside his cell for this Judgement day and today, tears are welling up in his eyes and flowing from the eyes of his family.

Senator Miriam Santiago said President Arroyo can issue a pardon right after conviction if she wants or Erap can pay atleast 3 more years before he can plea for bail on good behavior- something like that kind of pardon. Or they can file for a Motion for Reconsideration which can probably drag the case further until 2010, which the lawyers of Erap said will probably be formally filed before the 27th of September this year. But Senator Miriam Santiago stressed that since the verdict was unanimous beyond reasonable doubt, filing it would be useless.

I dont know if I am pro-Erap or not, but i cant say Im happy with the results of the verdict. Mixed emotions. If he is guilty which the court said he was, it is only just that he be responsible for his crime, but it just doesnt feel completely right. Although the peso-dollar rate reacted positively due to this verdict.

Anyway they allowed Erap Estrada to not be transported to Muntinlupa immediately, He can still go back to Tanay, Rizal first. He is at present still in the courtroom, which they temporarily made the holding area for the former President.

Former President Erap Estrada quoted "I subjected myself to this court and against the advice of my friends" something like that- hinting a slight regret over the action he has decided to take during that first box when he could have just fled the country or did something else other than submit himself to public degradation and imprisonment only to find himself in injustice in the end.

Admittedly,I was among the people who mocked Erap's intellectual capacity when jokes about him were very much popular. I can still remember one of my favorite jokes:

Erap: Ang galing ko talaga

Pinoy: bakit po?

Erap: Itong Puzzle nabuo ko at natapos ko for only 3 months!

Pinoy: ah ganun ba?

Erap: Eh eto o nakalagay sa box "FOR 3YRS and above"

It is not so amusing now.

It is only now that I realized that Erap is not a joke.

and that almost everyone in the government is corrupt one way or another, it is just a matter of when they catch you if they catch you.

But it doesnt mean they are entirely evil or that they are not entirely evil.

Cleanliness, Purity and Morality is rare and most blurred especially when accompanied with Power.

Ryan is back.

I keep forgetting to ask for the pictures he took while he was there in Brunei.

He turned up at the office, Monday afternoon.
Then we had dinner at Sizzler's. I missed pigging out with Ryan.

Masarap yung mga dala nyang Malaysian Pancit Canton. Which he had to fetch back at the airport kasi naiwan niya due to pagaalala because Czesca was sick.
The chocolates etc. yummy.
Czesca's Ninong, Ninong Erick bought Czesca a really fancy top and skirt. Ryan picked it out himself.. hmm.. not bad... not bad at all. posh and classy.

Grabeh the world doesnt stop to relax at all, Ryan is back to running errands for the team and coaching the kids at Grace Christian High School.

The kids have a game tomorrow and i'm going to watch. Im taking Zoe, im pulling out him off the computer seat and saving his eyes from early eye sight problems.


By the way, I finally decided to join the Multiply community also.
just saying. ill blog again soon.
I have been busy the whole week, Czesca being sick and Ryan just getting back. :)

Dental Health Problem

My left wisdom tooth is impacted. Over the years i have blindly hoped that one day it will just sprout out smoothly and be fine but its been 4 years and it still tortures me every now and then. The attack of pain is unpredictable, most of the time it feels okay, meaning i feel no whatsoever pain, but when it does, it stays on for a week of extra puffy left cheek with annoying pain. Biting is just as painful. I thought i can neglect it forever (although having it extracted has come to mind more than twice already,but that was when i still didnt have an idea of how the extraction is being done and now i certainly know) until it felt swollen again since last night. Even gulping down liquid is uncomfortable. There is a twitch also to my left eye whenever it becomes too painful.

So I looked it up on the net this afternoon. And found out that i have to have it removed asap before it gets fully mature and more painful plus the high risks of complications. Expenses again. It is our birthdays on the last week of September, House bills are to arrive by next week. etc etc. And Im guessing the surgery would be more than 10k itself. AAAAh most probably. Also, so much for the dental braces plan, i have to fix my wisdom tooth first...Anyways, I called a certain oral surgeon up but she was not in her office, ill call her again tomorrow. I am to take antibiotics for 7 days prior to surgery to minimize risk of bacteria during the time of operation. Im thinking of opting to be sedated when the procedure is up, i am super scared.

Having an impacted wisdom tooth removed is not the same as having a decayed tooth extracted. I saw on the internet that they break it down to 3 parts by drilling it (correct me if im wrong) before they pull it out, while having regular extraction is simply pulling of the teeth out. I dont know what to expect. I have low pain tolerance. The thought of someone digging through my teeth, my gums, excavating my mouth is scary enough. Im thinking of asking for my mom's financial aid this time, Im going to ask her when i get home, first i am to buy her that gold cellphone strap she so wants to lubricate the future tee-hee, Im doubtful she'll help me with the money issue but im taking my chances. It'll like bring down oral anxiety to 70%. ;)

Come Night come.(that part of the day)

i feel like im slowly dreading mornings, and that im always running out of time.
will you be my shrink just for this time?
No im not loving the night for the crazy things people can do at night.
I love it because it is the only time i can be home.
home with my family and home with myself.
home to do things i want to.
I am either overly dramatic or just wishing i could have time to do things that i really want.
things that for me define the word life in my own vocabulary.
Life for one,in my vocabulary , is spending time with people i love.

every night i wish, it could stay a little longer and keep me home.
