Warning Sign: Only in the Philippines

Kung ihing-ihi ka na at nakita mo ang sign na ito,

"Makuha mo pa kayang umihi?"

Having Powers

If you possess powers, what will do you? Powers (hindi yung super powers ah..), sa work mo, sa school mo, yung tipong officer ka, manager ka ng company mo, breadwinner ka ng family, eldest son/daughter ka, etc. Magugulat ka on what powers can do. Pero meron namang tao na hindi masyadong big deal yung pagkakaroon ng powers. Kasi they believe, like spiderman does na, "with great powers come responsibilities". But sad to say, yung pagkakaroon ng powers ng iba, eh masyadong nilalagay sa utak nila.. Kaya yun, good luck sa kanila..

When i heard the issue, I told myself, "Ganyan ba tinuro ko sa inyo?" This line transcends to everyone who was under me.. So ilang batches din yun including mine.. Grr.. Where in the world did that come from? I never even expect that to come from those persons.. Hay.. ANG AGA PA PARA SA MGA BAGAY-BAGAY.. Maraming pwedeng mangyari.. Hindi niyo pa ba alam yun? (Hello?! Kagaganap lang nun?!)

Marami ng nasaktan at nagdamdam sa mga nangyari.. Kahit magka-sorryhan man, the damage has been done.. Well, maganda na rin na it happened, at least alam na kung ano talaga ang tunay na katauhan nila..

Sad to say, "I've created evils!"

24 Oras

(Not The News Shows)

Nowadays, 24 hour stores or establishments are fast emerging. Then it was only 7-11 which is famous for being open for 24 hours. I also knowof Goodah (the gotahan) which are open not only for 24 hourse, but 25 hours. Imagine that! And who could forget Wendy's. Now, some branches, if not all, of Jollibee, McDonalds, Chowking are also open for 24 hours. Does this mean 24 hours is not enough? People are becoming super dooper busy that 24 hours are not enough for a day. What's next? A 24 hour Mall? Can you imagine shopping in a mall for you favorite pants or shirt at 3:00 am? Or watching a movie you failed to see that day or night at around 4:00am? It may be good for some establishment to open for 24 hours, for it may be of help to those working really late at night or for those who go home really late. I don't like the idea of more stores/establishments opening for 24 hours. I'm just afraid that the value of time will be lost. No one will give importance to time anymore.

Segue. Speaking of Wendy's. Here's Regine.

Ang Aking Pagtulog

(Kapamilya New Schedule)

Since July 3, 2006, iba na ang schedule ng primetime shows sa ABS-CBN and even sa kanilang Public Affairs shows.. Telenovelas then by 10:30pm Sharp, Bandila na.. Yung new News Show nila na kapalit ng Insider.. Korina Sanchez is back sa news anchoring.. I really like her.. Then after nun, Public Affairs na o minsan sitcoms.. Dahil sa changes sa schedule ng shows, naapektuhan na din yung aking sleeping habits.. Maaga na me nakakatulog.. Kasi maaga na rin natatapos yung mga shows ng ABS.. Hindi ko alam na makaka-affect sa pagtulog ko yung changes nila.. Psychological siguro?.. I dunno.. Pero it works ah.. Maganda rin yung ginawa nila.. At least maaga ng nakakatulog ang mga tao.. Masama na rin sa health ang nagpupuyat.. Bababa ang blood level mo.. Unless may insomia ka.. Tulog na tayo.. zzzZZZzzz...

Children. Pacquiao. Anniversary. DOTA

(All on July 2, 2006)

Children. It was my first time to be part of the Boys and Girls Division in-charges. We are tasked to take care of the children while their parents are in a Study Meeting. It's like day care center. It is from 1:30 - 3:00 pm only. This happens every first Sunday of the month. I was in-charge in showing the kids an experiment on Solubility. It was fun. As usual, the kids are makukulit. Thanks to these, I'm starting to learn the virtue of patience.

Pacquiao. Yah, he won. Yaman na niya.

Anniversary. It's Artistang Artlets' 26th anniversary. Went to UST for the usual celebration at Lover's Lane. I came at around 3:30pm. It was almost done. Ate jellyace and barbecue. Then after..

DOTA. It was still early. The sophies decided to play DOTA. Julz who was very excited on that idea, decided to come and asked me to do the same. As we were walking from UST to Dapitan, he was telling me all I need to play DOTA. By the way, an apprentice was also with us. We were divided into two groups. 1st group - Gab (pudum pudum), Anne (cookie), Mingu (chenelyn), Godfrey (Reap). 2nd group - Me (goddess), Julz (Chanda), Jon (Jon is evil), Gabchi (gabchilog), Avery (Computer Bano). Sana tama ang recollection ko. It was fun and something new for me. I might play some again if schedule permits.

"Buddhism is, in sense, an eternal struggle between the Buddha and demons; inother words, a contest between positive and negative forces. If we are neverassailed by negative influences, we cannot be said to be truly practicingNichiren Daishonin's Buddhism. Buddhist practice lies in bravely facing andovercoming adversity." - Daisaku Ikeda

AHAS

Literally na about sa ahas tong post ko.. Hindi yung ibang connotation nito.. Well.. I don't know kung bakit ako takot sa ahas.. As in I really don't know how it started.. Wala akong recollection na sometime in my childhood eh may na-ecounter ako na ahas.. Yikes..!! Super takot talaga ako sa ahas, kahit pictures lang.. Kaya nga hindi ako naglagay ng pix dito sa post ko eh..!! Pero hindi naman kasali yung cartoonish pictures of snakes.. Sa encyclopedia, pag nagbabasa ako, talagang iniiskip ko yung part na may snakes.. Eh yung sa encyclopedia pa naman iba't ibang snakes pa ang nandudoon.. Sa TV naman, siyempre channel surfing.. Minsan nalipat ko sa Animal Channel.. Good luck, ahas ang story nila.. Super nag-freeze ako na I can't move my fingers para ilipat yung channel.. Pumikit na lang ako talaga.. Yung mga classmates ko, alam nilang super takot ako sa ahas, everytime na may palabas sa tv titetext nila me na manuod sa isang channel.. Tapos bigla ko na lang malalaman na may ahas pala sa palabas na yun..!! O kaya minsan naman sa emails..!! Grr..!! Kahit sa zoo, tumatalikod me pag may snake na makikita.. Hindi ko talaga kaya.. Promise..!! Kahit snake skin lang, like nung drums ni Dewi (yung small congo.. tama ba yun?).. or wallet, bag, shoes na snake skinned.. So, kung gusto niyo akong patayin, alam niyo na paano.. Pahabol, napanood ko pala yung Anaconda sa sinehan, minsan sa tv.. Pero NAKAPIKIT ako..!! Hehehe..

Guidance in Everyday Life

Youth, and indeed life itself, flash by in the blink of an eye. That is why it is important for you to ask yourselves what you can do for those who are suffering, what you can do to resolve the mournful contradictions that plague society, and boldly take on these great challenges without shunning the problems and difficulties you will inevitably face. - Daisaku Ikeda

BUTI NA LANG.. Pero Hindi Rin..

BUTI NA LANG.. The thing na I'm very thankful dahil hindi me babae is REGLA.. O, diba the term? Menstruation. Ang hirap kaya.. Kailangan magsuot ng napkin (depending sa flow and intensity).. Tapos pagnatagusan ka pa sa isang unexpected at minsan, importateng panahon.. Siyempre, ang amoy din.. Malansa.. Tapos yung itsura nung dugo.. Hay.. Ang sakit-sakit ng PMS.. Sa sobrang sakit, minsan you can't do the things you need to do.. Premenstrual Syndrome.. Naiiyak na nga yung iba sa sobrang sakit.. Sakit sakit ng puson.. O, diba parang na-feel ko na? Pero siyempre sa nakikita ko sa kapatid ko, sa mom ko, sa friends ko..

PERO HINDI RIN.. Mas kakayanin ko pa ang sakit ng PMS kaysa ng sakit sa puso.. Hahaha.. Mas gugustuhin ko ng maging babae at ma-experience ang pagreregla at mga sakit nito kaysa maging bading at masaktan.. Mas madali sa babae ang humanap ng lalake kaysa sa bading na humanap ng lalake.. LALAKE ah.. Hindi yung kung anu-anu.. (Wala akong pinatatamaan).. Hehehe.. Hindi naman talaga sumagi sa isipan ko ang maging babae.. At wala naman talaga siya sa mga plano ko sa buhay.. Sex change is never an option saakin.. NO WAY..!! Naiisip ko lang to minsan pag nasasaktan ako.. Pero don't get me wrong, I am not in pain ngayon.. Matagal na dapat 'tong post na 'to.. Ngayon ko lang nagawa..

As I always say, ganyan talaga ang buhay.. You just have to make the most out of it.. Kahit papaano, meron naman..

ON WORKING

mga one year na akong graduate..
and yes, wala akong trabaho..
not because ndi ako natanggap..
dahil choice ko yun..
i need some rest..
pero nagmamasteral ako sa USTe..

if the count the years na nag-aaral ka..
super tagal nun ah..
i started nung 3, and graduated at 20..
o, diba?
i need some rest..
kasi pag nagtrabaho na me agad, yun na talaga..
wala ng pabanging-banging.. pa-easy-easy..
bawal na magkamali..
yun na talaga ang buhay..
tapos forever ka ng magtratrabaho kasi kailangan..
wala ka ng rest..
ang rest mo lang Holy Week..
Hello?! Ilang araw lang yun..

naawa ako dun sa mga walang choice..
yung wala silang choice na hindi pa mag-work..
wala silang choice na magpahinga muna..
kailangan na talaga nila magwork kasi ayaw na mag-aral..
or kailangan tumulong sa family..

kaya sa mga gragraduate..
if you can, pahinga muna..
wag kayong atat maghanap ng trabaho..
nandyan lang sila..
wag din matakot na walang mahanap na trabaho..
kaya do good in school para may edge ka na agad..

i'll work soon..
and by that time, I'll be super ready..

HOW DO YOU SHAVE?

Wala lang..
Bigla ko lang naisip tong topic while I was shaving..

Electric Shaver

Ako kasi I use an Electric Shaver..
Ok naman siya kasi madali lang..
Tsaka you can do it habang nanunuod ka ng TV..
etc..
Portable din siya..
Tsaka wala ka ng ipapahid-pahid pa..
Yun lang nga, mabilis din tumubo yung hair..

Shaver

Yung iba naman ang gamit, yung shaver with shaving cream..
Ewan ah, I haven't tried it kaya di ako alam..
Pero diba nakakasugat yun?
Like yung mga nakikita ko sa tv, movies..
Pero parang ang linis-linis tignan..
Pero ang problem ko dun, na-shashave mo din yung ibang hairs mo diba?
Kaya yung buong lower part ng face mo eh tinutubuan ng hair?
Yung parangkay George Clooney..
Pero parang ang saya..

Tweezers

(pasenxa na sa pix.. yun lang ang nakita kong lalaking nagchachani)
Yung ibang friends ko kasi na bading ang ginagamit nila tweezers..
So, triny ko siya..

Plinuck ko yung mga hair ko sa baba..

In fairness, hanggang ngayon wala pa ring tumutubo ulit..

Nung monday ako nagpluck..

Pero naman goodluck..

Maiyak-iyak me sa sakit..

Tapos yung bigote ko naman, shinave ko kahapon, yun meron na ulit ngayon..

Hay shaving.. Hehehe..

Bakit pa kasi kailangan mag-shave eh..?

What I mean is bakit pa kailangan tubuan ka ng buhok para i-shave..

Eh di kung wala kang balbas or bigote, wala ka ng shahavin..

Pa-laser na lang kaya ako..?

Nakakatakot din..

Mamaya may mangyari pag masama..

Happy Shaving..!!

Buddhist Thoughts for The Day

You say in your letter, "Because my son killed others, I would like you to tell me into what kind of place he may be reborn." A needle sinks in water, and rain will not remain in the sky. Those who kill even an ant are destined for hell, and those who merely cut up dead bodies cannot avoid the evil paths. All the more must they suffer who kill human beings. However, even a large rock can float on the sea when carried aboard a boat. Does not water extinguish even a great fire? Even a small error will destine one to the evil paths if one does not repent of it. Yet even a grave offence can be eradicated if one repents of it sincerely. (LETTER TO KONICHI-BO, Major Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol 4, p 164)

PLEASE LANG..!!

Punyetang commercial yan ng HBC..
Tuturuan pang lumandi ang mga bata..!!
Meron pang may first kiss can wait..!!
BUTI ALAM MO..!!

eto description ng ALLUE products..
A complete line of "My First..." products specially designed to cater to female teenagers’ beauty and personal care needs. Natural, alluring and innocently fun; a dependable companion for every girl’s first blossoming experiences to becoming a lady.

O, diba? Female teenager daw.. Pero yung sa commercial, ndi naman teenager yun noh?! mga 8, 9 or 10 lang ata yun.. Maganda naman yung products nila infairness, yung commercial lang talaga ako naiinis..

A Trip to Ilaya (Divisoria)

Diba sa title palang feeling nyo first time ko..
Hehehehe..
Mataggal na me nagpupunta sa Divisoria..
I actually love 168..!!
Divisoria Mall din..
Tsaka dun kami bumibili ng tela for uniforms and stuff..

This time, ibang experience naman eto..
Yung friend ko na buddhist din ay may stall dun..
Sa Ilaya..
Daming tao..
Siksikan pa..
Nagbebenta sila ng school supplies..

Nagpunta me kasi sabay kami punta sa meeting namin..
Meeting refers to our buddhist meeting..
1st day pala ng class yun..
So, binibigay na lahat ng kailangang supplies for school..
Daming tao..!!
Lahat may dalang papel/listahan..

Listahan:
Grade 1,2,3,4 pad
Cartolina
Paste
Art Paper
Theme Writing
Writing Notebook
Protractor
Compass
Plastic Envelope
Brown Envelope
Manila Paper
Floor wax
Basahan
Shoerag (yung sinusuot sa paa na bunnot pero tela)
etc, etc, etc..

Dun ko lang nalaman na iba't iba pala ang pad..
Iba-iba per year level..
Malay ko ba?
Ndi ko naman napansin nung ginagamit ko dati..
Tapos pati floor wax, basahan and shoerag kasama sa listahan..
Public school kasi kaya the cleaning job nakasalalay na lang sa students..

Sa isang listahan mga 150-200 ang nagagastos ng bawat mamimili..
Naaawa naman ako sa iba kasi kahit mura na yung gamit, di pa rin nila kaya..
Gusto ko nalang ngang dagdagan eh..
Mejo nagbenta-benta din ako dun ng konti habang hawak ko ang bag ko..
Syempre dapat careful ako..
Mamya may kumeme ng bag..

Yung mga binebenta dun, same lang sa national bookstore..
Mas mura pa..
Kung P15 sa national, P9 lang sa kanila..
Pero yun nga, yung lugar lang..

Sa araw na yun, makikita mo talaga na mahirap ang buhay ngayon..
Buti nalang may Divisoria noh?
Kung wala, kawawa naman ang mga Pilipino..

PIMPLES

Tangina..!!
May pimples na naman ako..!!
Guess kung saan na naman?
San pa?
Sa ILONG..!!!
Lagi na lang dun..

Buddhist Thoughts for The Day

The sincerity of making offerings to the Lotus Sutra at the beginning of the New Year is like flowers blooming from trees, a lotus unfolding in a pond, sandalwood blossoming on the Snow Mountains, or the moon beginning to rise….. those who believe in the Lotus Sutra will gather fortune from ten thousand miles afar. (NEW YEAR'S GOSHO, Major Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol 1, p 272)

Buddhist Thoughts of The Day

"I am entrusting you with the Gohonzon for the protection of your young child. This Gohonzon is the heart of the Lotus Sutra and the eye of all the scriptures. It is like the sun and moon in the heavens, a mighty ruler on earth, the heart in a human being, the wish-granting jewel among treasures and the pillar of a house. When one embraces this mandala, all Buddhas and gods will gather around him, accompanying him like a shadow, and protect him day and night, as warriors guard their ruler, as parents love their children, as fish rely on water, as trees and plants crave rain, or as birds depend on trees. You should trust in it with all your heart." (UPHOLDING THE FAITH IN GOHONZON, Major Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 5, page 177)

Sadness

Last week, for 3 straight nights I was at Julz's house.. Wake nung dad niya.. I don't kung ano reason why he died.. basta ang alam ko lang na-stroke na yun dati.. Bka nanghina na yung katawan.. ang kwento ni chels (yun tawag ko sa kanya) kausap lang daw ni mudang nila tapos tumalikod sa pagkakahiga then yun di na sumasagot.. Un..

Contrary, ang saya ng atmosphere sa burol.. daming bakla..!! hahaha.. tawanan galore.. and siyempre hindi mawawala ang "Casinos" sa burol.. mag nag-kakara kruz, tong-its, pusoy.. at ang dami ng pera ng mga tao.. KALA KO BA MAHIRAP ANG MGA PILIPINO? at eto pa ang nakakatawa.. kahit nawalan na ng ilaw, bumuhos ang malakas na ulan at nahulog na ang tolda.. THERE'S NO STOPPING THEM FROM PLAYING.. tuloy pa rin ang tayaan..!! hahahaha..

Dami rin tao pumunta.. Mga friends nya sa Don Bosco, UST, AA, GAP etc.. Sabi nga ng mga bading dun, "Reunion daw".. kasi dun na lang kami nagkikita-kita ulit..

Dapat punta me nung libing nung saturday.. pero naka-sked na yung outing ko nun eh.. kasama nga dapat chels eh.. siyempre di ko na siya pinasama kasi naman diba?

Sabi nga ni Jey.. "Mama (referring to me), ikaw na lang ang may pudra..!" Oo nga noh?! Sa aming badinggerlings (Me, Julz, Mai and Honorary Member Jey) ako nalang ang may pudra.. Yung kay Julz and Mai, syugok na.. Yung kay Jey naman di na nya nakikita.. nasa states..

*****

WALA SILANG PAPER PLATE NA BINEBENTA DUN..!!! diba ang taray..!! pag-uwi naman.. tulog lahat sa van.. pagod pero masaya.. next year daw Puerto naman daw.. Sana..

*****

Buddhist Thoughts of The Day

Never seek this Gohonzon outside yourself. The Gohonzon exists only within the mortal flesh of us ordinary people who embrace the Lotus Sutra and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. The body is the palace of the ninth consciousness, the unchanging reality which reigns over all life's functions. (THE REAL ASPECT OF THE GOHONZON, Major Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol 1, p.213)

Natatawa Ako

Mt . Everest yan nasa pix.. Ndi ako natatawa sa itsura ng Mt. Everest o kung ano man about dun.. Natatawa ako sa mga climbers nito.. Diba may mga sariling expedition na ginawa ang bawat grupo na supported naman ng 2 giant networks.. Si Garduce was backed up by GMA 7 and yung the First Philippine Expedition Team was backed up by ABS-CBN 2.. Kaya ako natatawa is like this.. Xempre, super proud ang GMA kasi sila ang nauna na umakyat with Garduce.. Ang alam ko kasi may expedition TEAM na aakyat talaga.. pero nagulat ako mag-isa lang ito.. Naiisip ko tuloy ang feeling nya.. Anyway, tapos mga week/weeks later umalis na sa Pilipinas yung isang team kasama ang ABS-CBN.. Eh di since then on, super broadcast live na sila from Nepal.. Ang GMA may mga satellite chuva pa.. Sa ABS ndi ko alam kung meron.. Eto na.. Dito me natatawa.. Nauna na sa peak ng Mt. Everest si Oracion and Ermata (yung leader ng Expedition Team) tapos si Garduce medyo malapit na.. To think na nauna si Garduce sa kanila ng ilang mga days/weeks.. Diba? Sayang ang effort ng GMA 7.. Sa mga climbers naman, friendly competition lang naman daw yun.. Pero sa networks, I doubt.. So, sino ang nanalo sa dalawang network? Your guess is as good as mine.. Moral Lesson: "Ang nauuna, hindi lang unang dumarating!"

Buddhist Thoughts of The Day

"Shakyamuni who attained enlightenment countless aeons ago, the Lotus Sutra which leads all people to Buddhahood, and we ordinary human beings are in no way different or separate from each other. Therefore, to chant Myoho-renge-kyo with this realization is to inherit the ultimate law of life and death. To carry on this heritage is the most important task for Nichiren's disciples, and that is precisely what it means to embrace the Lotus Sutra." (HERITAGE OF THE ULTIMATE LAW OF LIFE, Major Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol 1, p.22)

MOVING ON
(got a poem from the net..)

I'm staring at my window
looking out at the trees
Looking at the beautiful rain
Mother natures beautiful things

I look straight to the mirror
And look at what i see
Tears streaming down my face
What happend to the happy me?

I watch all the little kids playing
they're all dancing in the rain happily
I remember those days
When there werent any worrying

I look back at those fun times
When i was with u
Hah we were having fun
U said i love u and i said i love u too

I look at the pictures
seems like it was just yesterday
I wasnt afraid
But then things just started to fade...

I look at all those fun times
When i was with u
But now they seem so stupid
Cuz it wasnt even true

I watch all the little kids playing outside
Running around in the rain happily
They make me regret what i did
But it was for the best i guess

I look straight into the mirror
See tears rolling down my face
There was a pain inside my heart
He's one no one can replace

But then i stare at my window
i look out at all the trees
I wipe my tears and make a smile
Now i can be free

Buddhist Thoughts of The Day

"... do not go around lamenting to others how hard it is for you to live in this world. To do so is an act utterly unbecoming to a worthy man."

"It is rare to be born a human being. The number of those endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth one can place on a fingernail. Life as a human being is hard to sustain - as hard as it is for the dew to remain on the grass. But it is better to live a single day with honour than to live to one hundred and twenty and die in disgrace." (THE THREE KINDS OF TREASURE, Major Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol 2, p. 238)
