I Guess...

The only bad thing I see about being a late bloomer CSI-sucker is my being a total loony of getting frustrated whenever I watch the local evening news.

I pray for Mac and H to enter the crime scene and clean up the mess.

But of course, I’d have to remind myself that Mac and H are fictitious characters and that I’d have to snap out of my loony thought fast.

I don’t anymore read the front page. The Impeachment updates cause my frustration on our leaders rise up to its maximum. Bwak.

Good thing, there are other people who kind of do not want to meddle with these guys too. Quezon City now has Computer-On-Wheels program. This not only bridges the ‘digital divide’ but at the same time, bridges the ‘can’t afford’ and the ‘can afford’ (sounds like that not-so-affordable resto in Katips). Imagine everyone learning computer. Fantastically fabulous eh?

Ganyan, ganyan dapat. Hindi puro pagbibilang ng signatories para mai-go ang Impeachment.

I am not at all satisfied with Maui David modelling for Palmolive (Balik freshness, balik bounce, bounce!).

Her hair isnt moving at all nor bouncy...

Was it rebonded?

Chinagirl

I played with the Football Organization last Monday! It was so much fun and I was so excited!

Pictures are to follow. (I hope.) PS and his friends were kind enough to wait for me and watch me play for an hour. And by the way, I scored a goal! (but I have this bitter feeling that they just let me score that one… bitter ka Janice? :-D )

I will be playing again next week. And please don’t mind the title. Wala lang.


**On Pinoy Big Brother (enter PBB’s theme song, “Pinoy, pinoy, pinoy.”…)

Because of Pinoy Big Brother’s very great timeslot, it seems like I cannot escape the semi-teleseries. So I watched PBB and saw for myself the highly publicized show.

Eto lang masasabi ko – Ha? Ano daw?

Let’s see what’s gonna happen soon.

My Recent Discoveries

(Setting: In the company of young boys who are currently playing I don't-know-what, screaming their hearts out and cursing one another in this well-ventilated island internet cafe)

Even though I grew up here in the island, and thought that I knew all the nitty-gritty of the place, I was wrong.

Discoveries abound the island.

My first discovery and I should say, one of the major advantages of moving back here, is that, I can live a day without any penny at all in my pocket. I have tried this several times and it never fails me. I have survived!

There were these times when I was so starving, and I was at the shop, and I was penniless, I just took the car and drove home and ransacked the fridge. :-)

My second discovery is I can still play football here in the island! Woohoo!

When I was still in the city, all i thought was I would no longer be able to kick some balls, I was wrong. PS introduced me to this Football Assoc and invited me to play with them. Well, of course, there's no more Ate Uni there or Click or Net or JEsusa or Tibak or Mina or Osang or Coach or Mata or Toeff or Pongs or Aloy... But I guess I still have to play and practice hard (para I can score a goal already!)

My third discovery, there is a haven for DVDs in the market! I am now saving up so I can panic buy DVDs already!

So there, these three are my recent discoveries. Not that great for some, but they are a big deal for me.

I am such a sucker for balanced and active life.

I wanna mountain climb by the way.

(Apologies for not posting recent movie/music/book reviews and other serious stuffies. Right now, all i want is to tell my readers how I am doing here in the island. Work is still fun, and I just received const. criticsms from Poang P. Hehehe.)

See You All Soon Punks!!! :D

(Young boys are breathing down on me now, I am sensing they are reading everything I am typing down here and I am guessing, they want me to log out asap. Hehe.)

I Played Soccer Last Sunday!

I feel so super!

*Before the Game*

Hanibani and I woke up early, donned our semi-soccer get-ups, and went hunting for a soccer ball. The moment we had the ball, we searched for an open soccer field!

As much as we wanted to use our Alma Mater’s soccer field, it’s being used naman by “professional” soccer playuhs. So we settled for the school near Hanibani’s house.

Hanibani’s dog, Brad, was with us. Jajajanice thinking: “How come this dog can be so behaved?”


*THE Game*

Moral Lesson of the Game:

It’s much more tiring playing with only one opponent than with the whole team of SFC. Eh ikaw ba naman ang magdefend, magdrive at magkeep ng goal mo…

We were already tired after ten minutes of playing. But through constant persistence, we resumed game, and then after a while, Hanibani gave up and played instead with Brad. Pero dahil dopey ako, I played and kicked still.

Sarap!

Nobody won though… or… neither of us tried tracking the goals.


*After the game*

PICTURESSS!!!!!

‘Til the next game!

Sana ok kayong lahat! Tatah!

Islandera

Helloooooo!!!

I feel guilty whenever I don’t get the chance to post an entry here. It feels awful and I feel like I owe myself and my readers something.

Heniwei, enough said…

So… who are the tenants of my shopping bag lately?

Well, my being “islandera” occupies an ample amount of space in my bag. I have been juggling kukur and dad’s shop since Monday. It’s fun actually, working with my sister and my dad is really something.

The kukur is not so mabenta this month. I have made a list of clients and I hope they will be interested. Jotting down ideas is exciting but applying them is a bit of a challenge. Pero, bring it on pa rin ako dapat!

…which reminds me, do you know anybody who manufactures bedsheets and curtains? I haven’t gone to Divi yet to check out their stuffs. Please, please! SOS on this…

On the other side of my “who-are-the-tenants-of-my-shopping-bag-lately?” post, the shopping bag is obviously losing its exact size and shape as PS enters the scene and makes my bag his homely home (which I don’t mind at all of course). Yep, PS and I are a-ok. We walk the streets of island as though we are treading the Paseo de Roxas stretch. The only difference is we have tricyles here instead of cabs and FX taxis.

Segue to…

My shopping bag is going to burst any minute now! I miss my friends! I miss playing football with SFC! I miss my Sam! Buti na lang, pinabaunan ako ng mga utaw ng mga happy thoughts! I hope to see them and have a fun time with them again soon! (Thanks nga pala kina Tibak, Tundah and Mina, who gave me a jacket and a Tahiti shirt as going-away gifts, and for surpraysing me!)

At ayan po, mga friends, ang aking goings-on. Masayang malungkot, but I am getting by. Merci to my PS and to my family.

Playing SOS

Last night, PS and I, played SOS (You draw columns and tables and fill it up with S, O and S. Winner is determined at how many SOS you were able to form).

Anyway, I missed my opportunity to win! I missed a spot! I should have won!

At ito ang explanation ni PS:

Dapat, ang bawat tira mo ay strategic. You should benefit from that tira in the future. Wala ka dapat sinasayang na tira, nag-uubos ka lang ng space sa box naten eh. Natirahan pa sana yan ng mas importanteng tira. Chaka dapat, susuriin mo lahat ng angulo. Hinde porket hindi mo nakita, wala na talagang dapat makita. Parang buhay din yan…

Yikes, I got scared. Would that mean, I wasn’t paying attention to some important details in my life now? Am I missing something? YIKES!

Masama ang Loob Ko and Some SKL

... dahil "always unavailable" ang mga customer service representatives ng PLDT, at dahil dyan, hanggang ngayon ay grounded pa rin ang linya ng phone namin, thus making me unexistent in the blogging world for quite a while...

... eto tuloy at gagastos pa ako para lang makapagblog...

***

My friend Net once told me that negative vibes take its toll on you when you are not busy with anything. I got challenged (hehe) and got hold of Anne of Green Gables. I read and read and read and did not let my mind drift on more nega things. True enough, I finished Anne in no time and quite learned a handful too.

Too bad, I don't have the book with me now. I even dog-eared some pages so I could quote her here. But anyway, in the book, Anne said that so long as everybody has "scope for imagination" and "kindred spirits", nothing would seem to go wrong.

I loved what she said. (And this is what I love about children's books, their small words have great meanings...)

So I began to think, that there's nothing to be scared and hesitant about the major shift. I was even thinking about the wonderful things I could do about the major shift way before and yeah, there was a very big scope for imagination there. And kindred spirits, oohhh, I always have loads of these. I am getting excited once again. :D

I just need to pray for overflowing determination and courage.

This will be fun. No to nega!
