a while back, i was talking to a friend over the phone and i think i said something really awful to her and she responded with:

Anong akala mo sakin, laruang de susi?

takte. panalo ka friend.

anyway, while im writing this we have 3 kid visitors in our home who were collecting their pamasko from my father. Suddenly, Richie the Horsie showed up in the tv screen. One kid said to the other, "Hoy, Say, diba tatay mo yan?" and then giggles.

kids could be so mean.

Santa chronicles

Sino nga ba syang nakasuot pula, hila ng mga usa,
puti ang balbas nya, siya'y mataba
lahat ng bata'y naghihintay sa kanya.....
--sung by Jolina Magdangal during her wonder years

Hello.ilang taon kayo nung huling naniwala kay Santa?
ako hindi ko alam, parang nadiskrube ko na lang. Akala ko unfair si Santa eh.

Situation 1 Naglalakad kami dati sa isang toystore at nakita namin ang isang doctor doctor set. Yun ang natanggap ng pinsan ko nung christmas day galing kay Santa... di ko alam, baka nabasa nya ang isip ng pinsan ko o kaya nagshoshopping na rin sya sa pilipinas. Pero kung sa bagay, napakabait talaga ng pinsan ko. Valedictorian yun.

Pero mas nakapagtataka, yung doctor doctor set na rin yun ang natanggap namin mula sa tiyahin ko on the same christmas...hmmm...

Situation 2
Anyway, hindi ako masyadong bumilib kay Santa. i tot i was a bad girl. Nagsasabit kami ng sako sa labas ng bahay pag christmas eve at nakakatanggap kami ng Pork and Beans, Mongol #2 pencil, at Johnson and Johnson powder. Parang grocery din pala ang mga regalo ni Santa Claus.

Di bale, pag naaalala ko yun ngayon, natutuwa naman ako. At least i have something to smile about when i remember my childhood. Diba, marami akong makekwento sa mga apo ko. Tsaka ngayong meron akong little brother (na si Wenz), ipinagpapatuloy pa rin namin ang tradisyon ng panloloko kabutihan ni Santa Claus. Sana hindi nya pa madiskuber.

Wenz: Alam mo, feeling ko hindi totoo si Santa.si mama at papa lang ata yun eh.
Flor (pinipigil ang ngiti)
Wenz: kasi dati nung nagpunta sila sa Korea, wala naman akong natanggap kay Santa
Flor (iniisip na wala syang kwenta syang pera noong panahong yon)
Flor:good boy ka ba non?

Well, i dont know what to say?
what would you say?

Life goes on?

It's so cold today! Parang gusto ko nang bumili ng scarf at mittens. (feeling may snow)

-----Change topic---
Simula na rin ng training namin last week for Basic Skills.Bale hindi natupad ang pangarap ko maging Korean school teacher. Ang lakas kasi ng hatak ng call center (driving force of money). Well, not that i'm making fun of call centers. It is a decent job with a lot of benefits. And mind you, it helped decrease the employment problem here in the Philippines. Siguro, masyado lang talagang ginawang negative sa paningin ko about call centers. Na mahirap daw pag graveyard..kasi tataba ka, matututo ka magsmoke..matututo ako magkape , politika at may immorality problems din daw.

I need to lose weight!

I'm in my twenties but I swear it's so hard to lose weight. I feel like I'm in my thirties now with the waistline and all. Without discipline, exercise and diets just don't work.. (let's just be honest here, guys *winks*). The first thing that comes into my mind are pills. But it's kind of hard to choose a pill that's safe, natural and with no side effects. But.. I found the best diet pills in a health website named Bestdietpills-1.com. What I like about this site is that it has lots of diet pill reviews that you can browse and choose from. They have so many dieting products there and I'm sure you and I can find a pill that's best for us. There's even a corner there that shows discounts and freebies. The best part is every product they sell is HERBAL. Goodness! What more can we ask for? If it's herbal then the diet pill has little or no side effects at all. So if you have little time for exercise and having a hard time to diet just like me, just browse this site I found to look for diet pills that work! If you need more info then view this:

Niloko nya ko!

Kakaiba po ang lola ng kaibigan ko. Minsan nagugulat na lang ang kaibigan ko pag bigla syang nagagalit at sumisigaw. Sa bagay, matanda na sya. Kayo na po ang humusga:

1. "Niloko nya ko eh"
-Sinigaw nya nang maiwan nya ang ulam nyang sardinas sa mesa
at patago itong kinain ng aso nilang si Dutchess

2. "Pag nakita ko pa kayo, papatayin ko na kayo!!"
- Sinigaw nya nung dumami ang mga lamok na nangangagat
sa loob ng bahay nila

Lab you poh lola

Where do I find royalty free music?

Where else? Online, of course.
When I was in college I used to always look for music for the videos that we were required to make. I didn't know that some people or website owners were making their own original music for a fee. If I just knew it back in college, then I would've just bought original beats for my own vid. The site Jee Juh.com has a list of hiphop and rap instrumental music right in their homepage. The site is easy to use since the songs are listed down, with star ratings and prices on the right columns. You can just pick on a song and listen to it without downloading any music player. My personal faves are The Tiger by Mike Lightner and Adrenaline by Elliot Waite. Most songs here are instrumental so you can even put in your own lyrics. It even promises that when you buy their music, you can have all the royalties. I promise that the songs are all creative and upbeat. So search the site, click, and groove to Jee Juh.com's beat..

Survivor Philippines -4 people remaining

Hay nako.
Mananalo na sya.

I think JC will win even if I don't like him. Pinakamatalino siya sa lahat. Silent killer. Tumama ang lahat ng prediction ni Marlon na iisa-isahin sila ng alliance na yan hanggang maubos. Kaya kahit kontra sa lahat, si Marlon and Chris ang paborito ko castaways kasi cunning sila. Pero mas matalino si JC. Nauuto nya kayong lahat sa good-boy looks. Siya ang villain sa paningin ko.pero matalino talaga siya.

Sadly, Chris is the next one to be booted out. (sabi ng tarot cards)

tanong: saan kadalasang pumupunta pag first date?

richard:correct! ikaw naman. saan kadalasang pumupunta pag first date?

contestant 2 (valedictorian): ahhhm ahhhm

richard: 5, 4, 3, 2..

contestant 2: hmmm....sa madilim!

**pagkatapos nito siguro wala ng gusto lumabas kasama si kuya.

Tapos edi quickround na kung saan mabilisan na yung pagtatanong at dapat sumagot ka agad.

Tanong: Ano ang pwedeng ipasok sa bibig?

Ate: ahhhhm..Tongue?!!

**Huwaw ate tinalo mo pa si kuya.Nakakainspire ang sagot mo.

Wenz writes a letter to his crush

I have a little brother. His name is Wenz (bulol), he is now eleven years old.

When he was still six he made a letter to his cras.

So cute and innocent no? He never sent it kasi nahiya siya nung binuyo namin... Pero I still think that it's so thoughtful that he wrote this for a girl. What do you think of my brother's letter?

(Yan ang nakukuha ng bata sa kakapanood ng tv. nakuha nya kasi yung mga words sa isang commercial. )

"I Will Not Die" blog

The blog name itself makes a reader itch to know about this blog. . Basically, I Will Not Die is about the author's personal views, life events and opinions. I have read a few posts but you can already sense that the articles or the blog itself is about inspiring its readers to “not die” or to not give up. Not exactly that but quite similar. It's a very simple blog..not much designs and no pictures or that much color to get you attention..But why do I think this blog is worth reading? That's because this blog is optimistic yet practical. Our world (especially in the author's country, USA) is so filled up with rants and negativism that, somehow, blogs like this one provide a ray of hope. The author tells about his struggles in daily life and how he doesn't want to give up on it. Visit this blog and I'm sure you'll find a well-written article here that would make you feel even just a little bit optimistic about daily life. Happy,happy bloghopping!

They said in the pulse asia survey

sabi nila sa Pulse Asia survey, nakararaming Pinoy daw ang nagsabing mas naghirap sila ngayong taon kaysa sa 2008. Bumaba rin ang rating ng presidente. Hindi man lang daw gumaan ang buhay nila.

My take on that is..
Most Filipinos are natural whiners. Puro reklamo lang. Puro sisi. Pero walang gawa.

Totoong may corruption sa Pilipinas.Marami ngang mali ang gobyerno natin.
Pero sa loob ng ilang taon, ang dami nang ikina-improve ang bansa natin. Alam kong pansin nating lahat ito pero syempre puro sisi lang ang kayang gawin nating mga Pinoy. Wala man lang pumupuna sa magagandang nagawa ng gobyerno. Dumami ang trabaho, gumanda ang mga kalsada, marami nang nacoconvict for corruption, dumami ang commercial areas, nalinis ang mga ilog, nagkaron ng mga eco park, gumanda ang Maynila, dumami ang eskwela, gumanda ang import-export industry..etc.

Pero parang wala man lang nakapuna.

Pakiramdam yata nating Pinoy e superhero ang mga government officials. Na pag naupo sila, bigla na lang tayong makakatanggap ng maletang puno ng pera. Ano yon lotto? ediba yun ang ipinangako ni Eddie Gil? edi sana binoto nyo sya.

Please hindi ganun kadali ang lahat. Sa totoo lang umayos-ayos na ng konti ang kondisyon ng bansa. Let's stay positive para magpatuloy ang pag-angat ng Pilipinas. Maniwala naman tayo sa magagawa ng bansa natin.


............change topic..........................
Nako eh, mukhang sa 2010, mukhang tatakbo pa bilang president ang ex president natin na nahatulan ng plunder. At mukhang hero na hero pa ang dating nya. Yan ang problema nating mga Pilipino. Ambilis natin makalimot. Hindi na tayo natuto.
............

Barack Obama.
finished from Columbia University (Ivy league)
studied law in Harvard and was president of Harvard law review school.
Obama worked as a community organizer and practiced as a civil rights attorney before serving three terms in the Illinois Senate
then he was voted for the US senate.
(he helped create legislation regarding lobbying and electoral fraud, climate change, nuclear terrorism, and care for returned U.S. military personnel.)
And now he is the president of United States

Look at his credentials. I'm not saying that we vote for a guy who graduated from Harvard. BUt... Let us vote for people who are active in the community and government and someone who initiates change. Yung may ginawa sa career nya..Hindi yung kumakanta lang sa kampanya..kundi yung merong plano para sa economic growth ng bansa

Sorry

Sorry for the inconvenience. i'm just trying out many layouts. Read through my posts! Enjoy.

I wonder why

I was bloghopping as usual and was able to read some really, very beautiful posts. The writers were diverse, actually. Some are mothers, students, gay people, angry people, emo, lovers, etcetera. I just can't recall the names of these creative minds here. But these are all Pinoy.

First thing I'm wondering about is why, with all these great and unique written content in blogs, why do we have very few good Filipino books in the market? Sayang na sayang lang. (Wag kang kumanta.) Just look at the Pinoy literature section in your nearest National bookstore. Diba isang rack lang yung para sa mga serious books (I actually consider Bob Ong books 'serious' because they 'seriously' sell like pancakes). Tapos, the expensive ones pa are written only as textbooks. Have you ever seen a Pinoy book na makapal? I have never seen one. Only thin volumes are being sold. I am puzzled..are they saying that our attention span can only tolerate thin volumes of Pinoy creativity? Kahit English pa yan o Tagalog, if you have read what I have read in Pinoy blogs, I would definitely buy a book they would write.

E ano ba yung non-serious books sa kabilang rack? Yun yung mga pocketbooks. Yung mga romance stories. Naman mehn. Mas marami pang pocketbooks sa bookstore kaysa sa textbooks eh. Ito ang mga titles na nakita ko:

-Cuckoodoodleduo
-Pag-ibig ng kontrabida
- forgot the title pero La Tigra yung protagonist

Hanep. Yun na.period.. ay gusto ko pang magdagdag --merong bastos moments,so don't buy them. (bakit ko kaya alam?). Anyway, at least sila merong courage na magsulat ng magsulat.
Sa bagay alam nila na merong bibili. (hello ati)

Okay, so I guess the reason why would be "fear". Being a writer and selling what you wrote is like a boat ride into the ocean. Konti lang din siguro ang publishers dito sa Pilipinas na gustong mag-invest sa mga literature. Kawawang mga writers. Nagbabakasakali sila sa mga blogs. Sa bagay online journal din 'to. I'm happy cause I get to read them for free here in the net. But I hope our system does something to remedy this. Nasasayang lang ang mga utak at talents ng mga Pinoy bloggers na'to. Ang ganda talaga ng mga poetry at prose nila. Di bale i will list their names sometime. Sana meron pang hope para sa literature ng mga Pilipino.

--inhale--

Anyways. I just salute you all, dear bloggers.

Masakit ang..

Masakit ang coccyx ko.
Coccyx. Ano daw?
buto sa butt yan.

Naglalakad kami kahapon ni motherhood. Umakyat ako ng konti sa isang mababang rampa at yun..the rest is history (O.A.)

linya ni mother: Anak, bakit bigla kang nawala?

Nadulas kasi ako sa rampa at malakas talaga ang bagsak sa semento.Kaya talagang mawawala ako sa paningin nya. Ang mga sumunod na nangyari ay pang-MMK. Ang sakit.. kaya napaluhod na lang ako at yumakap kay mama. Tapos parang naging blurred yung pandinig ko. I did breathing exercises to relieve the pain. Ang daming rin palang nakakita sa nangyari. Pero pag masakit na ang pwet ko, wala na kong pakialam kahit nakatingin pa si Marc Nelson.

Mukha tuloy akong nakayakap sa nanay ko na para bang mag-aabroad sya ng 10 years sabay sigaw ng "inaaay!" (Aking ina..mahal kong ina.... -kanta sa Remy)

Anyway, worried na worried talaga si mama. Buti naman at kinaya ko pang umuwi. I hope hindi magkafracture ang coccyx area dahil sabi sa google medyo "slow" ang healing time nun. Kaya guys, magingat kayo sa paglalakad sa mga madudulas at sa mga ramps. Okay.

Get a health-care profession online?

Hello, I'm a nurse right? I can testify that some of the best courses to take are health care related. Why? Because the employment rate is very high. These professions are basically in demand. I have discovered another profession which is one of the fastest growing professions in the U.S. And that is to become a Medical Assistant.

Nowadays there is basically no excuse to not secure an education. The advent of online education has made it possible for students to actually stay at home and get a degree. Again, some of the best courses to take are health-care related but not everyone has the time and money to become a doctor or a nurse. Why not try another great choice like being a medical assistant? There is a system of education called Saint Augustine School of Medical Assistants that have offered to help aspirants finish their studies online and in the comfort of their own homes! It's a great idea especially if you have another commitment like a job or a family. Their website MedAssistant.org proclaims that this industry is one of the fastest growing occupations in the U.S by 2006-2016. By registering in their distance education program, you can study at your own convenience minus the hassles. The website says, most of their medical assistant students finish the course in 6 to 8 weeks but again you could do it at your own pace. Join their medical assistant school and for their "Online Enrollment Drive", you can pay your tuition fee for only $645 (or $485 if you enrol as a group). That's less than a thousand dollars! You get value for your money because of the very competent teaching staff listed in the site. MedAssistant.org already contains students' testimonials, registration forms, program details, and contact details. Their site can even help you with suitable payment options. It's really a one-stop site that could help people improve themselves through health-care education. Visit their site because being a medical assistant just might me the best option for you!

Crossroads update

Story of the Day:
I keep thinking about a tale my nurse used to read to me about a bird whose wings were pinned to the ground......In the end when he finally frees himself, he flies so high he becomes a star. My nurse said the story was about how we all have something that keeps us down......

Hello world, ang hirap palang maging bum.please wag nyong i-try.
On my former post, I was looking for suggestions to earn money and study as a cartoonist. I need 30k. huwaw, kapit na sa patalim 'to. (rufa mae voice)

May mabuting-loob na nagsuggest sa akin (kuyanin) na maging barista daw ako sa Starbucks. I love that place, at parang cool diba..pero hindi pwede dahil LDS ako. We live by the word of wisdom and that means no coffee or tea. Basta nothing addictive. Don't get me wrong, I'm really thankful for his idea pero isipin nyo na lang halimbawa isang Muslim na nagtatrabaho sa Monterey. diba hindi okey? Kaya naisipan kong magtanong muna.

Anyway,ngayon ko lang naisip na ang tamad ko pala. That's why i decided to get off my lazy as* and start looking for a job. Aleluya.. habang nagtatraysikel ako sa Paranaque, naalala kong isa pala sa pangarap ko ay magturo ng English sa Koreano. Yan ay dahil kakanood ng Full House at My Girl.ahaha ang babaw.toooot (mura yan). Pero, I liked the idea dahil maganda naman ang compensation at tadtad ang P'que ng Korean schools.

I hope they hire me!
what are your thoughts on this job I applied for?

Happy Halloween!

Hello world,
Halloween costumes namin 'to. Marami kaming kendi nung trick or treat.Harharhar (thunder sounds)

Notes:

- Dalawa talaga ang belles nya.belbel
- Ugly Betty yan, si America Ferrera, hindi Betty La fea ni Bea Alonzo. Ayoko na nga parang tongue twister na e.
- yung pirata dyan hindi alam kung siya ba si Orlando bloom o si Johnny depp.

Hav a nice day.awooo.

For the love of Rap and RnB..

Hi guys. Of all the genre of music in the world, my favorites are mostly RnB and hiphop. I'm sure most of you like them too cause both of these are very popular in this generation. Recently while I was bloghopping, I found a site that sells rap and hiphop instrumental music. The name of the site is Jee Juh.com. I loved the site the instant it opened up in my window. There was already loud sound blaring once you open it up. I'm sure you'd feel the same way I did cause I was bobbing my head and loving the beats! They have their own player, so no more downloading. Just click the music and listen. I recommend "Young 35 lb. Lamb" and "Back for More" both by Elliot Waite cause I'm a woman and to me they're a little ANTM-sounding. Anyway, I have a LOT of other personal faves. I'm sure you can also choose music of your own liking. Plus the music they sell are affordable and royalty free. I really love the site. Click on the site now, link. Go guys and have fun!

The other path

i finished nursing and already passed the board exam. Pero hindi ko gusto maging nurse agad.
I reserve myself to becoming a nurse when I grow up and start building relationships or a family. But right now, I want to reserve my time to fulfilling all of my dreams.


Gusto kong maging cartoonist. Tuwing nababanggit ko to sa mga magulang ko, sa pandinig nila parang nagdrugs na ko. I really don't want to ruin my life. I just wanna do what I want now when I'm young. i don't want to grow old and regret not chasing after my dreams.

***

I have already found a way to study as a cartoonist starting this January for 5 months but I have to get money somewhere since my parents won't pay for it.

I was already rejected in a temporary call center toooot job, ..so, Any suggestions?

Embarassing moment (HK part 3 of 3)

(sa kalaliman ng gabi..)

Napakasakit na talaga ng tiyan ko dahil kumain kami sa restaurant ng ulam na panglimang tao. eh 2 lang kami ni Mami at kinain ko halos lahat dahil nga bawal sa kanya ang cholesterol.

Kaya naisipan kong magexercise sa hall ng floor namin. Wala akong maisip na exercise. At dahil fan ako ng America's Next Top Model, naisipan kong magrunway walk pabalik-pabalik sa hall.

Kaya ayan todo strut ako at nageemote pa ko dahil i really wanna be a model. (huwaw)

Nung pagod na ko, paglingon ko ay walang kaabog-abog (O.A.) ay meron palang surveillance camera na nanonood sa aking fashion show. Nagsmile na lang ako at nagpeace sign.

Kinabukasan, yung tagalinis ng floor ay ngiting-ngiti nung makita ako na para bang meron syang kakaibang alam.

Sikat na ko.
