"It's not that I'm anti-social, it's just that I don't like you BIG time!"

I heard this line as an entry to Top 10 Jealous/Envy Quotes from Chico and Delamar in the Morning Rush this morning.

What a perfect timing, this is exactly my stand to a person that I recently knew.
Just as I am aware, I don't envy her or jealous at her, hello??? I just knew her.
But there's something on her that I just simply don't like.
I badly wanted to post this to my FB, Twitter and YM Status,, but I can't coz my friends know about this girl, and I dont want to make a trending posts about her., Im not that bad.
I think thats one of the downside of having everybody know your whatabouts online.
Well, thank goodness I have my Blogger! whew!

"You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone" -- Shrek

It's my first time to watch in a movie theater alone last Tuesday. I watched Shrek Forever After. Believe it or not - I cried.
I cried because as I watched, I realized how sad I was.
I cried because I felt the frustrations. (love)

Damn Forever After! Sino bang nagsabing totoo un??!! b

bitter. (LOL!)

After the movie, I felt great. I've never been so refreshed!

The movie gave me hope... that though there's a lot of imperfections,
we can be rescued by true love. Meantime, we better look and appreciate what we currently have and not what we don't have.
(i'd better read this again and again! haha!)

I love this Final Chapter of Shrek really! i can tell that this my favorite among the sequel. :)

Realization: Keep the Faith! kahit lunod na lunod na. :D

I was in the midst of chaos in Puerto Galera during the sacred days that every Christian is observing. I promised myself to have a soul searching there in the presence of the sand, sun, trees, and cool air, my sanctuary indeed. But unfortunately, the opposite happened. Summer night outs, extreme sports, exposure to bisexuals’ way of life, presence of lust, vices… I was moved.
As I went home, I was in my unpleasant mood. Though I definitely enjoyed everything that we did there, I wasn’t able to do what I’m supposed to do (I wasn’t even able to open the book that I brought). So as I sit in the sofa and turned the tv on, I searched for something noteworthy. And there in a cable channel, I heard this man preaching (www.davidjeremiah.org). The topic wasn’t clear to me. He just gave me some points to reflect on:


* How’s my faith?? Is it empty?
*
Why do I tolerate things now that I don’t even consider before? How do I find comfort in accepting things like that?
* Is my spirit stagnant? What happened to its discovered purpose?

*
Where’s my focus???


I was disturbed by these questions. They darted on me bulls’ eye in my heart.

I observed my family. I realized that we weren’t that religious, although my Mom imposed on us to be dependent in the Lord, but still her time was short. Our family, as I can see now, is just simple. We celebrate the good times, we get mad at each other once in awhile but we’re able to talk it through, we watch tv together, we drink alcohol at least every week, we are free to do whatever we pleased, we all have our freedom given the consequences that corresponds to it, we love each other but hardly express it and most of all, respect dominates in us. We respect each others’ attitude, opinion and point of view in every life’s aspect. The thing is – where am I supposed to stand? Given the fact that my family isn’t so much concern about they’re spirituality (or maybe I don’t know).. Who then I must follow???



I clearly know the message from the preacher. And though its hard,, I know for sure the answers to those questions. Of course I do,, I was once nourished by teachings from Singles for Christ. But how can I do it?? Without the support system that I need, my family and SFC Community, and as I am surrounded now by a lot of manipulators around me,, teaching me the modern norms and standards, how can I get away from them?? How can I stand firm in my convictions? How can I be more focus on God’s purpose in my life?

It’s complex. Well, nobody said following Christ is going to be easy. One thing is for sure, as God gave me this wisdom,, I am RESPONSIBLE. And as the Lord promised that His grace is greater than our needs. I just hope that I can
go back in the heart of worship soon.

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference.

June 5, Friday - the news came to me that our high school teacher - Ms. Fely Baterina, passed away. she died after being confined in the ICU for almost 2 years. saturday night I went to the wake with my HS friends. its just so funny that almost everyone in there were Ms. Fely’s former students.. funny coz they have the same statements in remembering her… “grabe, malupit siya manabunot sa patilya!” e lahat yata naranasan un e! I cant deny,, she’s one of the reasons why i had a not so good highschool memories. the fear, humiliation, strictness, favoritism (definitely not me! i learned then the meaning of the word “unfair”),, made me wish the high school is over. and it was so over, thank God!

Ms. Fely and I weren’t really close like in “Tuesdays with Morrie” scene. but i believe somehow i owe her a part of who i am as i grew up. it was through her that i learned to comprehend well the language of English. it was through her that i appreciated to read books (coz we need it for our book reports). it was through her that i conquered my fear in public speaking (takot ko nalang talaga!). and above all, i want to thank her for talking to my mom during the times when she was battling with cancer. she hugger her, cry with her, gave her advice, and maybe somehow told her “she understands”, and “keep the faith”. i maybe too young back then but i know my mom appreciated it so much. hope they remember one another when they meet in heaven and somehow give each other a smile.

I dont know Ms. Fely that much,, not much as i heard in the gossips there and there - i just know she’d been a teacher to many successful individuals in Cabuyao and the nearby towns. surprisingly, me and my HS friends doesnt feel the bitterness in the memories in her hands anymore. we are now smiling and laughing as we remember each youthful memories.
Thank you Ms. Fely Baterina, we’ll never forget you and forever be grateful for your part in our being. Happy journey!

Imagine, todo! I attended three major concerts last year! Last August, together with Loricel, my highschool friend, we watched Alicia Keys Live at SMX Convention MOA. Singing my favorite hits, gosh! I almost cried! Especially, If I Ain’t Got You and No One! Oh my! Cel treated me snacks as her birthday blow out, then we had coffee after! Truly, the concert is unforgettable!


In the same month (8.30.08), I and my siblings watched Eraserheads The Reunion at Global City Taguig! All the childhood memories relived! “Kapanahunan namin to!” No words can explain how overwhelmed we were. I cried during the opening countdown and they played Alapaap! Everybody’s singing and shouting! I still love them,, walang makakatalo.pramis! nakaka-high, astig!!! Even if they weren’t able to finished the show (because Ely had heart attack), still, the concert was remarkable! Im proud, I was part of it! It’s a history!



Come November, together with my officemates and my brother, we watched Rihanna and Chris Brown Concert! I’m not really a fan with anyone of them,, but then, I can say that their performance were superb! We sang and danced to their music! We had a great party night! Woohoo!

What will be the next kaya? Well, hope marami pa sumunod! It’s a great feeling how we lose control in the concert area. Ka-high talaga! Hmmm… I’ll look forward for more this year! Weee!!!!

Maligayang araw ng Kalayaan!
Sinabi ko bang “maligaya”? Hmmm.. masasabi kong nagunita ko ang araw na ito dahil maya’t maya ito ipinapaalala sa mga radio at tv, pero hindi ko nararamdaman ang pagiging masaya! Unang-una kasi dapat nasa GK-Isang Milyong Bayani ako, kaso hindi ako pinayagan ng pagkakataon na makadalo dito. May pinagawa kasi si Daddy, badtrip, pero ok lang. hindi masyadong makabuluhan ang araw na to para sakin di tulad ng dati. Pero kahit papano, medyo nag-alab ang aking pusong makabayan ng makapanood ako sa Knowledge Channel ng isang episode ng “Noli Me Tangere”,, hindi ko lam kung anung chapter pero un ung ep na nalaman ni Ibarra kung papanong pinatay ang kanyang ama at si Padre Damaso pala ang may pakana. Gayundin naman, ipinakita ang pag-uulayawan nila ni Maria Clara.

Bale, ngayong mga nakalalipas na araw, sobrang inspired ako sa dahil sa pagbabasa ko ng librong aksidente kong nakita at nabile. Tinamaan ako! “Tikman ang Langit, an Anthology to Eraserheads”. Koleksyon ito ng mga tribute essays ng mga fans. Haayyy… pangarap ko kasi makasulat ng ganon! Nakakatuwa kasi halos lahat ng gusto kong sabihin tungkol sa kanila e nasabi doon, lalo na sa mga nasulat nila Batacan at dela Cruz. Pero sususlat parin ako, kasi ang daming dumating na mga ideya sa kin, di pwedeng itago, baka magka-kanser ako!! ;> nabanggit ko ang tungkol sa libro kasi ngayong mga oras na to,, habang nakasalang ang sinaing ko, 6:30 ng gabi, naka todo sa cassette player ko ang Cutterpillow! Astig! Reminiscin ba?! Kalungkot lang kasi sa mga original cassette tapes ko ng Eheads, Cutterpillow, Sticker Happy at Natin99 nalang ang na sakin. Ung iba, tsk! Sa tingin ko nahiram, di nasoli, nawala, nahiram, nawala! Haay!! Ganun talaga drama ko sa mga gamit. Isa lang ang sigurado.. nalaspag muna namin sila ni Ate bago makuha ng iba! Haha! Hey, Ate, baka naman nasayo ung iba, dalhin mo next time, tapus jammin’ tayo gaya ng dati! Astig! I miss those Rakenrol times!! Mwahh!! Well gamitin ko lang ang isang linya sa libro,, “No other songs that made me so proud to be Pinoy!” pertaining to Eheads’ songs particularly to “Ang Huling El Bimbo”. Ang Cutterpillow ang masasabi kong album na perslab ko. As in, ung nauso siya, uso rin siya sakin. Di gaya nung unang dalawang album, hinabol ko nalang un e. introduced ni Ate sakin, elementary yata ko. Unang kanta na sumapi sakin.. “Mahal kita, pero miss na miss na miss ko na ang aking kama at ang malupit kong unan, bat di kana lang sumama, hihiga tayo at kakan..ta!” (Kamasupra). Tapos eto pa: “I hope we can spend more time together, a few hours is better than never, if we could only make it longer! /I don’t care if we don’t have lunch as long as we have iced tea” (Finetime). “Magkahawak an gating kamay at walang kamalay-malay, na tinuruan mo ang puso ko an umibig ng tunay” (Ang Huling El Bimbo), tong kantang to, pag naririnig ko, talaga naman,, damang-dama ko, pramis! At itong isang to naman, pag naririnig ko, napapaisip ako lagi,, at parang ngayong mga oras na to – kanta to para saken! “Nong ikaw ay bata pa, ang lahat ay masayaUmiikot ang mundo at hindi humihinto, ang lahat ng makita mo ay bago.Ay ngayong may edad ka na at lunod sa problemaNangangarap na ibalik ang kahapon di malaman kung bakit kailangan Magbago ang lahat,, magbago ang lahat sa buhay mo.Umaaraw, umuulan, noon pa ma’y sadyang ganyanAt kung ngayon lahat ng panaginip mo’y biglang naglahoPare-pareho lamang tayo, isipin mo, walang nagbago! (Walang Nagbago)
Tapos sabayan pa ng “Slomo” – waaahhh! sapol na sapol! Tungkol naman to sa pagpatay sa oras na dapat sana may ginawa ka pero di mo nagawa, atbp. Haha! Napapangiti nalang ako. “Ngayo’y alam mo na kung paano mag-isa/natagpuan ang kasagutan sa mga katanungan/lahat ay nangyayare tamang oras at lugar/ pero isa ang masasabi.. di naiintindihan ang payo ng magulang”.Hmm.. kung iniisip niyo na eto an ung sinasabi ko na tribute sa kanila,, hindi pa po. Sobrang saya lang talaga ko sa pagkakabasa ko ng libro, may parte rin kasi dun na kung pano nag-evolve ang Pinoy Rock, at kung gaano kalaki ang kontribusyon ng Eheads dito. Masasabi kong sa araw na ito ng Kalayaan, isang pagsaludo ang alay ko sa Eraserheads para sa pagbukas niya ng aking kamalayan. Kung paanong una kong napagpahalagahan ang musika sa pamamagitan nila. Kumusta naman ang sticker ko ng bandila ng Pinas sa gitara ko na itinulad ko sa kanila,, tanda ito ng inspirasyon ko na sana isang araw matutugtog ko rin ang mga awit nila! Wala akong ibang maisip na tao o banda na may malalim na impluwensya sa akin sa musika at buhay,, maliban sa Eraserheads. Mabuhay kayo at ang lahat ng ng taong naniniwala sa inyo!

10:30am nung pumunta kami sa Precinct 113-A ng Dita,Elem School para bumoto! Organisado naman kaso marami lang talagang tao saka mainit. Ok naman na kasama ko Daddy ko kasi kilala siya samen.. so pagpasok palang ng gate ng school, marami nang concerned citizen ang sumisigaw ng “Gesmundo – 113-A kayo!” naks! Sabay sabi, “Tito Gonzales tayo!”, “Catindig pare ah!” hehe! Sa precinct, yun kabarkada ko pang si Jonathan ang watcher kaya ok naman! Pag-upo ko, dahan-dahan ko na nilabas ang kopyahan ko na ginawa ko the night before, pero for senatoriable candidates lang yon. Sadly, wala akong kilala masyado sa mga kumandidato para konsehal. Siguro naging iresponsable rin ako sa hindi pagkilala sa kanila.

Katuwa ang pagsulat ko sa balota, mas malalaking letters ang pagkakasulat ko kapag botong-boto ako sa pangalan na isinusulat ko! Haha Sarap ng feeling habang nilalagay ko ang sariling balota sa ballot box! Whoa! Proud to be a voter! Theres a sense of pride ba! Something na natamo ko mula sa pakikialam at pag participate! Mula sa paniniwala na ako bilang indibidwal, sa hanay ng mga kabataan at manggagawa ay may magagagwa sa bulok na sistemang inasasadlakan natin ngayon patungo sa magandang bukas! Yan sa tingin ko ang karanasan na napapalampas ng ibang kababayang hindi bumoboto dahil sa samu’t saring dahilan. Kawalan ng tiwala sa sistema, kawalan ng pag-asa na na may magandang kahihinatnan pa ang Pilipinas, ang kawalan ng kamalayan at ang pinaka masakit sa lahat – katamaran! Nirerespeto ko ang kahit anumang dahilan, sabi ko nga sa isa kong malapit na kaibigan na hindi nakaboto, hindi naman
lahat ng hindi bumoboto ay hindi mapagmahal sa bayan,, dahil kahit papano nabubuhay ang pagmamahal sa bayan sa ating mga puso sa pamamagitan ng mga tradisyon, kultura at sa tuwing may laro sa Pacquiao! hiks! Ang sakin lang e hindi nila nararamdaman ang oras na may boses ka sa isang kapirasong papel. Isang bagay na ginagawan mo ng paraan ang pagkakaroon mo ng isang maayos na bukas mula sa pakikialam mu ngayon.



Saludo po ako sa lahat ng bumoto! Sa
lahat ng bigilante! Sa lahat ng MALAYA at
hindi nagpapadala sa sulsol! Sa lahat ng kandidato, manalo o matalo ay
nagtangkang mangarap ng pagbabago para sa bayan, sa lahat ng nakialam at
nakiisa! Mabuhay ka Pilipino! Mabuhay ka Pilipinas!
