Batang 90's ka ba?

at dahil isang araw na lang, 2009 na, sasagutan ko 'to! alam ko walang koneksyon, pero pareho silang may 0 at 9. ok?


• Masaya ka kapag naglalaro ka ng Tex at Pog. Kadalasan ang design dito ay yung mga palabas sa TV, mga drama o kaya anime, may dialogue pa. lol.

-- hindi. huhuhu. exclusive at catholic school kasi ako nun. walang mga ganyan. pero sa subdivision namin... siguro meron. pero ako hindi.

(ano ba yan. unang-una, 'hindi' agad yung sagot. haha.)


• May comics pa ang bazooka. Kahit di mo maintindihan yung Fortune Cookie sa huli ay collection mo pa rin yun.

-- haha! binabasa ko talaga yung comics sa wrapper!! minsan nga bumibili ako para lang dun eh. :))
• Ang mga babae naglalaro ng paper dolls na tigpipiso bawat isang set sa sari-sari store.

-- oh my.. mga pinsan ko kalaro ko nito! haha.

• Nagwa-watusi ka kapag New Year kahit pinapagalitan ka ng nanay mo.

-- hindi eh. taga-nood lang ako ng mga nag-wa-watusi. :))

• Meron kang sapatos na umiilaw yung swelas kapag iniaapak mo. Mas sikat kung iba-iba yung kulay.

-- yes!!! pink na red yung kulay nung ilaw sakin. at talagang feel na feel kong maglakad nun pag yun ang suot ko. :))

• Pinapatulog ka ng yaya/nanay mo tuwing tanghali o hapon para raw lumaki. Hindi na kasi pinapatulog ang mga bata ngayon tuwing tanghali di tulad nung panahon natin.

-- TRUE. sobrang utang na loob ko sa pagtulog sa hapon kung bakit umabot pa ko sa height ko ngayon. kasi nung mga grade 3 o 4, malaki ako sa age ko. pero ngayon, WALA NAAAAA.....

• Kung babae ka, nagkaroon ka ng butterfly hairclips/rings. ( si Jolina ang nagpauso nito.) haha.

-- hahaha!! meron nga!! ang dami kong nakolektang ganyan!! yung lumilipad/gumagalaw yung pakpak!! haha.

• Naglalagay ka ng Kisses (yung mabango) sa pencil case mo, o kaya sa isang lalagyan na may bulak, alcohol at tinutusok ng karayom para mabilis manganak.

-- ay grabeh. ginawa ko 'to! nagpauto ako ng bonggang-bongga. as in inaalagaan ko sila. tas hindi alcohol yung ginamit ko nun eh. powder yung nilalagay ko. tas hindi ko naman tinutusok. pero kahit hindi man nanganak, at least mabango naman. :P

• Ang mga stationeries na uso: Papemelroti, Tsukuba, Sashikibuta. Pwedeng ibenta, pwedeng trade lang.

-- bentang-benta sakin 'tong mga statio na ganito. :))

• Pampalipas oras mo dati ang paglalaro ng Brick Game, at swerte yung mga may advanced version na may tumatagos na blocks para mapuno na yung gap sa loob. Mas advanced ka kung Tamagotchi ang nilalaro mo. Pinapakain mo, pinapatulog mo, at inililibing mo kung namatay na. At kung talagang kaya nyong bumili, Game Boy ang sayo. Pero kung wala ka talaga, yung laruan na lang na may tubig sa loob tapos dapat ma-shoot mo yung mga bilog sa stick na maliit.

-- meron ako dating Brick Game. masaya na ko dun. although nangarap din naman ako ng Tamagotchi, kaya lang hindi natupad eh. poorita kasi. haha. tas yung may tubig sa loob, hanggang ngayon naman may mga ganyan pa rin at nilalaro ko pa rin. :))

• Bago magsimula ang klase, nakikilaro ka muna sa 10-20, jackstone, langit lupa, ice water, taguan, dr. quack quack, tumbang preso, pepsi seven up at agawan base. Di bale nang madumi na ang uniform mo pagpasok ng classroom.

-- mga pinsan ko ang playmates ko sa mga ganitong laro. wala ako masyadong experience na ganyan sa elementary. :))

-- pero meron din naman pala. yung jackstone (original at yung japanese ba yun? yung something na parang may monggo sa loob. haha), ice ice water, 10-20. mga ganun. tsk. hirap kasi ng pinalaki ng mga madre eh. haha.

-- pag yung mga brutal na laro, at LARO TALAGA, mga pinsan ko ang kasama ko. ;)
• Sinasabi mo sa kaklase mo na "Liars go to hell" kapag tingin mo nagsisinungaling sya. "Cross my heart, hope to die" kapag nangangako ka. "Period no erase" kapag gusto mo walang kumontra sayo. Kaya lang wala kang lusot kapag sinabi ng kaklase mo na "Akin yung factory ng pambura".

-- haha! oo naman. gasgas na gasgas yang "Liars go to hell" at "Cross my heart, hope to die" na yan dati! meron pa nga, yung pag nag-p-promise, yung sa fingers na pinag-ko-konek. uhh. di ko ma-describe. basta yung pinky namin, ginaganun. :))

• Di ka baduy kung ang notebook mo nung elementary ay may mukha ng artista.

-- umm.. private eh. :((
• Nagpabili ka ng Baby-G sa magulang mo.

-- oo naman!! hahaha.
• Wala pang PS/PS2, XBox, Wii, atbp. noon. Family Computer pa lang, yung cartridge yung bala. Usong laro ang Mario Bros., Battle City at Rambo.

-- meron kami nyan!! haha. peyborit namin yung si Super Mario. ayoko kay Luigi. :))
• Meron ka ng isa sa mga ito: Family Computer, Nintendo, Sega, roller blades, brick game, Tamagochi, Swatch Watch w/ matching guard, Troll collection.

-- sorry naman. poor eh. Family Computer lang. :)) pero meron ako nung rubber shoes na may gulong. :))
• Alam mo ang mga linyang ito sa mga kanta: "Natatawa ako, hi hi hi hi", "Anong paki mo sa long hair ko", "Dahil sa bawal na gamot", "Mga kababayan ko, bilib ako sa kulay ko".

-- haha. alam ko yan hanggang ngayon. :))
• Isa dito ay theme song mo: "I Swear" by All 4 One, "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes (And I say, Hey ey ey ey ey ey. I said hey, What's goin on!), "Zombie" by Cranberries.

-- umm... pwede all?

• Sumasayaw ka ng Macarena.

-- hihihi.. peyborit ko yan sayawin dati. :))
• Malamang ay naging fanatic ka ng isa sa mga sumikat na boy bands.

-- N' Sync, Westlife, Backstreet Boys, at A1 :)) masyado pa ata kong bata nung panahon ng The Moffats eh.

• Ang tinutugtog lagi sa radyo ay mga kanta ng mga banda gaya ng Eraserheads, Parokya ni Edgar nung nagpapalda pa lang sila, Alamid, Rivermaya, True Faith, The Youth, Afterimage at kung anu-ano pang pinoy bands.

-- yeahboi. ano, Singing Bee tayo ngayon, gusto mo? :))

• Tape pa ang uso, di CD or MP3 players. Pag gusto mo yung kanta kailangan tantyahin mo kung ilang seconds i-rewind yun para mabilis paulit-ulitin.

-- hahaha. oo nagawa ko na 'to. minsan nga namamaga na yung daliri ko sa kakapindot eh. rewind, play, forward. sus. :))
• Kinakanta nyo dati sa school yung "Heal the World", "Tell the World of His Love", "Jubilee Song", etc.

-- yess!!! memorize ko pa yan!! pati actions pa eh. :)) tas nung medyo mga Grade 5 o 6 na ko, Only Selfless Love na. :))
• Nanonood ka dati ng Power Rangers, Captain Planet o Ninja Turtles. Nagkukunyari pa kayo ng mga kaibigan mo na kayo yun at nagkakasipaan kayo.

-- haha. Power Rangers. Kimberly girl. :))

-- haha. halos lahat ata ng episodes ng Hiraya Manawari napanood ko. :)) tas hanggang ngayon naaalala ko pa rin yung babaeng pintuan na pinapakita pag mag-uumpisa na.

-- yung Bayani, di ako masyadong fan nun eh. minsan kasi na-bo-bore ako. pero keri na rin. naalala ko pa si lola (Caridad Sanchez) na napalitan na din after some time.

-- Sineskwela, ok lang. di rin masyadong fan. pero oo, kilala ko si Ugat Puno at Palikpik. :))

-- bat walang Math-tinik? lagi ko din pinapanood yan eh.
• Sinubaybayan mo ang Ghost Fighter at ang Dragon Ball. Naging favorite mo si Eugene at si Goku.

-- yes naman! Ghost Fighter! kahit na ilang beses nang ni-replay yan, pinapanood ko pa rin. haha. pero sorry, hindi ko favorite si Eugene at ang Ray Gun niya. gusto ko dyan si Master Jericho at ang kanyang pacifier. pati si Master Jeremiah na rin. :))

• Sinubaybayan mo ang Sarah ang Munting Prinsesa, Julio at Julia, at Cedi. Pinanood mo pa nga yung movie version ng Sarah ang Munting Prinsesa with Camille Prats. • Alam mo din yung "Ang Pulubi at ang Prinsesa" with Camille Prats and Angelica Panganiban.

-- "alam mo, kung lahat ng nagmamahal sa'yo, tinataboy mo, hindi ka magiging masaya..."
--> favorite line ko yan sa Ang Pulubi at ang Prinsesa. line yan ni Camille Prats kay Angelica. at soobrang inis na inis ako kay Angelica nun. affected?! haha. :))

-- eto ang pinapanood ko (hindi Batibot). at alam ko ang tono nyan. :))

-- at mas kilala ko yung aso at pusa na nagtitinda sa tindahan kesa sa characters sa Batibot. haha.

• Napanood mo ang Batang X.

-- yes! :)

• Sabay kayo nanonood ng yaya mo ng Marimar.

-- hindi yan Channel 2 di ba? again, hindi yan part ng life ko. at kahit ngayon na ni-revive ni Marian, lalong hindi. :))

ok. ni-copy paste ko lang yan. haha! pero basta yang movie na yan, benta. :))

• Alam mo yung commercial ng Tender Juicy hotdog na ganito: "Dear diary, Carlo sat beside me today. He's so cute! Sabi niya I'm pretty kaya lang I'm fat."

-- HAHAHAHA!!! alam ko yan!!!! :))

-- ah really? di ko ata naabutan yan. :))
• Nakikita mo sa balita na may mga kultong nagtatago na sa kweba, kasi magugunaw na ang mundo sa year 2000, at yung mga computer daw bigla na lang mag-shu-shut down at mawawala na daw ang technology.

-- umm.. hindi rin.

• Chinese variety shows ang palabas tuwing umaga ng linggo.

• Matapang ka kung napanood mo lahat ng Shake, Rattle and Roll movies.

-- haha. may kasama naman akong nanood eh. :))
• Kung babae ka, naging crush mo si Leonardo di Caprio dahil sa Titanic. Kaya nga lang, bawal ka pa tumingin sa kissing scenes nina Jack at Rose. Haha.

-- ay hindi naman. pwede naman tumingin. kahit nung andun sila sa loob tapos yung kamay ni Rose, biglang gumanon dun sa window, keri. napanood ko. :))



haai.. nami-miss ko ang mga panahong yun... :(



Violence over Golf


Politicians are hopeless. Kaya lalong nalulugmok ang Pilipinas ay dahil sa mga taong katulad nila. nakakainis. ang sarap nilang tirahin ng dambuhalang golf club.

If this happened to my dad, tsk, MAGKAKA-WORLD WAR 3.

--------------

The world has gone crazy.

So, I just had the worst day of my life.

At around 1:30 PM today, at Valley Golf and Country Club, Antipolo City, Mayor Nasser Pangandaman, Jr., Mayor of Masiu City, Lanao del Sur, his father, Secretary Nasser Pangandaman of the Department of Agrarian Reform, and company, beat my defenseless 56-year-old dad and my 14-year-old brother to a pulp because of some stupid misunderstanding on the golf course.

This is a golf course. I have been a golfer all my life, and I have never seen anything like this. NOTHING. This is hard to comprehend. And it happened to my own father and my own brother too. Right in front of my eyes.

My brother and I were playing golf at the South Course of Valley. We were on the 3rd hole, and we see two golf carts going past us, overtaking our flight, and setting up to tee off on the next hole. My dad goes up to them and asks them why they would do that, why they would overtake us without even asking for our permission. Golf etiquette 101. One of the guys says that they're with the flight in front of us. (So what? That doesn't give them the right to just pass us WITHOUT asking.) So, we go to the 5th hole. The flight behind us catches up with us, and asks us what caused the hold up. We said that this flight just slipped in front of our flight. So we complained to the marshall. We play the 5th hole and walk towards the next hole, where there is a teehouse, and both the flights in front of us were there, talking with the marshall. The mayor of Masiu City, Lanao del Sur talks with my dad. Things get heated up. Voices were raised. But never, in my wildest dreams, did I ever imagine that someone would pull out a punch. Apparently not. He attacks my father. His flightmates, maybe 2 or 3 of them, rush to his aid and beat up my father. My 56-year-old father. My younger brother and I could not just watch. We rushed to break the fight. My younger brother pleads to the mayor to please stop it. To not hurt my dad. To just stop. His words still ring through my head..."Sorry na po, sorry na po...tama na...tama na po..." With his hands in front of his chest in a praying position. PLEADING. The mayor socks him in the face. My brother defended himself. My dad is still on the ground getting clobbered. My brother is the same way. I try to stop the fight, but all I can do is stop one person. There were 4 or 5 of them attacking now.

Someone breaks up the fight. I thought it was all over. The mayor shouts to his caddy: "Hindi nila kami kilala! Sabihin mo nga sa kanila kung sino ako!" And believe me, I had no idea who this person was. But now I know. He's the person who, with 4 other men, beat up my 56-year-old father and my 14-year-old brother. He's the person who sacks a pleading 14-year-old kid in the face. He's a person who, I am sure, is gonna rot in hell.

I lash out, but my dad held me back. I was screaming my lungs out, shouting to this mayor, telling him about what he had done. I said: "Nakakahiya kayo. Singkwenta'y sais anyos ang tatay ko. And kapatid ko kakatorse anyos. Anong ilalaban nila sayo?"

The mayor looks at my brother, point to his face, and says, "Tatandaan kita!" And he tells me that my brother has a bad attitude and that I need to watch him. WHAT THE HELL?! So, my brother's bad for defending his father?!

We leave. We walk to the clubhouse to file a complaint. My brother asks for a doctor. My dad could barely walk. Their group comes to the clubhouse, sees my brother. Once again my brother pleads, says sorry, and is crying. He was CRYING, for crissakes. But no. The relentless mayor still punches him in the face, and then sees my dad and goes after my dad again. Him and his friend pull my dad to the ground, pulls at his feet, and steps on him like he's dirt. I run to him and try to hold him back, holding him back by his shirt, while this other guy and this girl tries to stop me. She tells me to just stop it. I scream in her face "they're beating my father up and you want me to stop?!" I pull at his shirt--I don't let go. All I can see was my dad being trampled on. I didn't even see my brother getting beat up.

People pull them away. I get my dad, and I saw my brother. His right ear was bleeding. I freaked out. I told the receptionists to bring my brother to the clinic. I pull my dad away. People were separating us.

My mom and my older brother come. I tell her Bino's right ear is bleeding. They both look like they could kill. My dad holds my brother off, I hold off my mom. When I finally got my mom under control, my older brother gets away and I hold him off. Two of the mayor's bodyguards pull out guns. I embraced my brother from the back, just holding him back, crying. The receptionists came to us, crying, hugging me, my dad, and my mom, whispering to us to just leave. "Maam, umalis na po kayo, may mga baril sila...Maam...umalis na po kayo please..."

I am pretty sure the Secretary of DAR did not take part in the fight, but he just watched all this happen. He watched two of his sons, as we figured out, the other guy was his son, too, beat up my father and my 14-year-old brother. He didn't do anything to stop it. And this person is what now? A cabinet member. A politician.

Sounds like something out of a movie, doesn't it? But this is what happened. TODAY. The day after Christmas. To my family. And all I ask for is JUSTICE. The people at Valley Golf did not seem to want to help us. None of the security guards even tried to stop the fight. Right in the clubhouse. I came back after the fight was over and talked to the receptionists. They say they did not see anything. The general manager of Valley Golf would not give us the names of the men who made my brother's ear bleed. It took him an hour. Maybe even more than that. He seemed to not want to help us. Because, we were against the SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRARIAN REFORM and the MAYOR OF MASIU CITY, LANAO DEL SUR. They were all scared.

The world has gone crazy. Two politicians beat up a defenseless 56-year-old father and his 14-year-old son. At a golf course. I swear to God, I thought golfers were decent people. You would think politicians were decent people. I guess not. I guess they gang up on 56-year-old men and beat up pleading 14-year-old kids.

Please pray for my dad, my brother and for my whole family. Please pray that we get JUSTICE. Oh God, please, give these people what they deserve.

Small Business Options For the Work at Home Entrepreneur

By Alex Cadens

When we talk about small businesses some people will think about a small retail store, a small restaurant, an errand service or some other small operation running from as low profile location. This is what usually qualifies as a small business within many people's minds.

However, the concept of small business can end up becoming a big disappointment if you start short on capital or miscalculate the requirements for a safe start and a solid operation.

This leads us to the first problem of starting a traditional small business: you will need to have money or at least borrow some, and if things do not go exactly as planned you could end up choked in debt.

15 years ago this was the only way to go for the small entrepreneur, but over time the advent of the internet has opened the most fertile ground for the small business owner to flourish and succeed away from the common risks of starting a small business within the traditional model.

And I am not talking about hypes or get-rich-quick schemes, I am talking about truly entrepreneurial options that require from you what any new business would: brain power and hard work.

Indeed, building a profitable online business that you can make a living from is possible, but you need knowhow and the necessary tools to get it up and running.

The knowhow will only come as a result of education, and the tools might not be essential, but will certainly help you achieve results faster.

The good thing about this option is that unlike the traditional business model, you will not have to borrow thousands of dollars to start on solid profits, because starting a $10,000 per month online business will cost you less than $500 and you will be able to run it entirely from your home office. Of course, no matter what education or tools you get, this outcome will only come after a few months of study and hard work.

But the very best part is that once you reach a level you feel comfortable with, you will gradually be able to literally let your business structure work for you, as the internet can deliver something no other business model can: automation.

The internet is a multi-billion dollar industry, and if you manage to get yourself just a microscopic chunk of its profit potential, you will be making more money than you would within any other business.

'Twilight' remake -- NOT COOL.

So ok, news about the Filipino remake of this novel/movie has been circulating the net for a few days already, and most of the comments I've read are, not surprisingly, against it. No, it's not another reason for them to celebrate.

For some, they cannot imagine how the lines of the characters would be tagalized; while for others, simply the thought of having a foreign film once again localized doesn't sound nice. And I cannot blame them for this, even though I'm not a fan of this Twilight fever. I haven't read the book, nor have I watched the film. And I want to keep it at that.

Maybe what inspired pushed me to write this is not the issue about the remake of Twilight itself, but the idea of another remake of another foreign, popular film/novel.

It makes me ask myself, why do we, Filipinos, always have to settle for "remaking" works of other countries and just putting it into our own context? Aren't there any originality left in our producers or whoever are those involved in making these television series? Why do they always have to buy exclusive rights for something that they saw was "patok" to our Filipino audience? Do we always have to jump into the bandwagon? No. I believe that we can produce quality teleseryes without the need for any blockbuster-hit title just to make it appealing to the people.

Why is it that before, these giant television stations can produce good and substanstial teleseryes? Some of these are still fresh in our memories, while some became parts of our lives already that we can remember almost everything about it. The good thing about this, they are original Filipino-made.

Getting the rights to broadcast an Asianovela is just okay, personally. I enjoy watching some of them. But the thought of giving it a Filipino twist? No, thanks.

Most of the time, these remakes go far from the original plot/storyline until you can't recognize it anymore, which just ruins my fondest memories of it. And knowing the trend of teleseryes nowadays, the writers would just keep on adding drama, drama, and more drama so that it will appeal more to the audience. Tsk. Nakakasawa na.

I know what I wrote is pure nonsense, my English sucks, and it got far from the topic of the Twilight remake. But I can't help myself, the Filipino entertainment industry is going down. Slowly.


Oh well... "Takipsilim"? HAHA. You're making me laugh.

I've sent this to feedback@abs-cbnNEWS.com as a reply to an article about the controversial "Twilight remake". See? That's how I love Twilight! haha. :))






Characteristics of Successful Entrepreneurs

What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur? Here are ten characteristics of successful entrepreneurs.

If you’ve got many or all of these traits, your odds of entrepreneurial success are looking good!

  1. An eye for opportunity: Many entrepreneurs start by finding a need and quickly satisfying it.
  2. Independence: Even though most entrepreneurs know how to work within the framework for the sake of profits, they enjoy being their own boss.
  3. An appetite for hard work: Most entrepreneurs start out working long, hard hours with little pay.
  4. Self-confidence: Entrepreneurs must demonstrate extreme self-confidence in order to cope with all the risks of operating their own business.
  5. Discipline: Successful entrepreneurs resist the temptation to do what is unimportant or the easiest but have the ability to think through to what is the most essential.
  6. Judgment: Successful entrepreneurs have the ability to think quickly and make a wise decision.
  7. Ability to accept change: Change occurs frequently when you own your own business, the entrepreneur thrives on changes and their businesses grow.
  8. Make stress work for them: On the roller coaster to business success the entrepreneur often copes by focusing on the end result and not the process of getting there.
  9. Need to achieve: Although they keep an “eye” on profits, this is often secondary to the drive toward personal success.
  10. Focus on profits: Successful entrepreneurs always have the profit margin in sight and know that their business success is measured by profits. Is this your profile or would you rather do your job, pick up your paycheck and leave the headaches to someone else? Most of us, quite easily, choose the later.

"nanood ka ba kanina?"

ako, OO.


eh so?!



big deal??


haha. sabi ko last year, every (as in EVERY) year na ko manonood ng Oblation Run. kukumpletuhin ko.


nakanood ako nung First Year.

nakanood ako ngayong Second Year.


at manonood ako sa Third at Fourth Year.


care ko kung may class ako?! haha.

kanina nga muntik na kong mag-cut sa class ko para lang makanood eh. hahaha. devoted. :))


kasi naman 12 pm daw ung start. eh hanggang 12 ang class ko sa Archi!!! pero syempre sa huli, nanaig pa rin ang aking pag-aaral.


hmm.. katulad last year, front row na naman ang lola nyo. haha. but i had to muscle my way through a crowd of hundreds (thousands? exag!) just to have a closer view.


sulit ba?


SIGURO.



pansin ko lang, ang konti ng tumakbo ngayon compared sa last year. tsaka ang ikli (ng time, ha). parang nagmamadali sila masyado. parang di naman umikot ng todo ikot.


i was expecting more pa naman. coz di ba, Centennial? so i thought mas grand at mas bongga ang ipapakita nila ngayon. but no, i was wrong. :)


are there any improvements regarding the you know..

hmm.. i dunno. :P


hindi naman yun ang pakay ko sa panonood eh. hindi naman ako tumitingin dun noh. mabait na bata kaya ako. sa mask lang ako tumitingin. :)



HAHAHA. asa, jesse. :))


pero seryoso, ewan ko.

i don't see anything naman kasi.

meron pala?



HAHAHA!! ang sama. :))

peace, APO.





*btw, last day of free ride today!! sadly, i was able to ride it only once. tinakbo ko na kasi from Archi to AS eh. so hindi ako nakapag-free ride. ikaw, nasulit mo ba ang huling araw ng free ride?




SUICIDE.

nagbigti.

naglaslas.

nag-overdose.

kumain ng lason.

binaril ang sarili.

tumalon sa building/billboard/tulay.





minsan naiisip ko, bakit ba may mga taong nagpapakamatay?

bakit mas pinipili nilang tapusin na agad ang buhay nila, kesa antayin kung kelan talaga plano ng Diyos na kunin 'to.


bakit pinangungunahan nila?




siguro kung makaka-interview ka ng isang nag-suicide, iba-iba ang rason na isasagot nila.


may mga hindi na nakayanan ang hirap ng buhay, kaya mas pinili pang putulin na lang.

may mga hindi na makayanan ang iba't ibang pressure na dumarating sa kanila.

sa pag-aaral, sa pamilya, sa mga kaibigan, sa lovelife.



kung sa point of view ng religion, mortal sin ang pumatay. what more kung sarili mo.

kung sa point of view ng society, minsan hindi maiiwasan na may ibang mag-isip na may sira ang ulo ng isang taong nagpakamatay.


pero ganun eh. kanya-kanyang trip lang yan.


kung pinili niyang mag-suicide, wala ka nang magagawa dun.

kaya nga kadalasan, yung mga nagpapakamatay, mag-isa lang. sa kwarto, sa CR, etc. basta gusto nila walang ibang tao. kasi, alam nilang pipigilan lang sila. kaya feeling ko, desidido na talaga sila.


pero pag iniisip ko, oo nga't tapos na ang paghihirap nila dito sa mundo. pero hindi ba nila naisip na mas matinding paghihirap ang dadanasin nila sa kabilang buhay dahil sa ginawa nila?

siguro nga hindi na nila naisip yun.


hindi naman kasi lahat Katoliko.

hindi lahat naniniwala sa life everlasting.

basta ang alam nila, TAPOS NA DITO.


o siguro nga may mga nakaisip din nun. pero siguro sa sobrang tindi na ng emotions nila, nasapawan na yun. mas nanaig ang kagustuhan nilang mamahinga.



alam ko mukha namang walang patutunguhan 'to.

pero ewan ko, gusto ko lang mag-blog ng tungkol dito.

kelangan kong ilabas.


at para sa'yo Marky:

kung nasaan ka man, sana maging matahimik ang buhay mo ngayon. nawa'y magkaroon ng kapayapaan ang iyong puso. May you rest in peace, Marky. Good luck on your journey. Paalam.



mula sa kanta ng Parokya ni Edgar -- Buloy:

"...nagulat nalang ako nung narinig ko ang balita
akala ko pa naman na marunong kang magdala
nalaman ko na lang na ika'y nagpakamatay na."




define BASTOS.

Kris Aquino.

naiirita talaga ko tuwing nakikita ko 'to. lalo na pag umiral na naman pagka-Kris Aquino niya.


so eto, habang nanonood ako ng The Buzz nung Sunday, kung san ko unang nabalitaan ang pagkamatay ni Marky, nagpapansin na naman 'tong si Kris.


unang-una, tamang gawain ba naman ng isang host ang TUMALIKOD SA CAMERA habang nagsasalita, habang pinapanood ng mga tao?!

eh kung hindi ba naman nananadyang magpapansin eh. buti sana kung napaka-sexy niya eh. hindi naman.

at hindi lang yon!

kung gusto mong makita agad ang lantarang kabastusan nito, diretso ka na sa 2:19.

pero wait pala! sa 1:23 muna. yung balita nila kay Marky. :(

dun mo umpisahan para mas maka-relate ka sa pagka-inis ko.


grr. NAKAKAINIS.

buti pa si Ruffa eh. marunong mahiya. tsk. mas matino pa sa kanya.

next year na lang uli siguro.



tapos ayun. edi nag-cheer na us for the Yellow Aztecs! YEY!


nung una, gusto ko sana sa Men's Basketball. kasi you know naman, basketball fan me eh. :D

pero since nagsabay-sabay ang yellow sa Basketball, Volleyball, at Futsal, kelangan namin maghati-hati. so si Chloe, dahil may gustong makita sa Futsal, edi dun kami napunta.

at dito na nagsimulang maging exciting ang BACBACAN 2 life ko. hahaha.


kalaban ng Yellow ang Red.


Yellow kami, Red sila.


haha, wala nang pinatutunguhan 'to.


basta! so ayun nga, edi nanood at nag-cheer na kami sa Futsal. sayang, nung una lamang na kami eh. kaya lang sila pa rin nanalo.

pinaka-nagenjoy ako sa panonood ay nung sa Men's na. eh kasi naman... HAHAHA. naiinis na naman ako.


EPAL EH.


nung bago mag-umpisa yung game nila, basta may something na nangyari na parang sabi ata ng isang official, kung sino lang yung nasa list, yun lang ang pwedeng maglaro. eh bigla namang nag-react to the max itong pangalanan nating si CP.

"sa official rules ng soccer, pwede yung blah blah blah."

to the tone na parang siya ang gumawa ng rules ng soccer na sinusunod sa buong mundo. pasigaw pa ha.

pero wait! umpisa pa lang yan.


edi naglaro-laro na sila. tas syempre kami naman cheer lang nang cheer kahit napaka-konti namin. tas biglang may lumapit na sabi bawal daw sumigaw. clap lang. so parang okaaaay. ANG BORING NUN. ano 'to, opera house?


oh well, balik na tayo kay CP. actually nagsimula lang akong mainis sa kanya nung siya yung titira para sa kanila. eh tapos pala, si Kuya Nico my buddy pa yung parang goal keeper. wala lang, sharing. haha.

tas dun pinwesto nung referee ung bola sa may side namin. as in sa tinatayuan namin. eh tas eto namang si CP, tinanong sa referee (in his unique tone na parang laging nagmamadali at hinihingal) "pwede bang sipain diretso dun [sa goal]?" tas um-oo yung referee.

tapos, edi eto na. pina-usog niya kami [as in KAMI] at hinawi para may space siya to make sipa the ball diretso sa goal. edi kami naman umusog. baka kami pa masipa niya, durog-durog kami kung sakali. INTENSE EH. FEEL NA FEEL.

buti nga nung una, hindi na-shoot. sumobra lakas eh. HAHAHA. tawa ko nun eh. :))

edi nag-pangalawa siya. tas ganun na naman, nagkaron na naman ng parang paghahati ni Moses ng Red Sea. GRABEH ha. pa-importante. kala mo napakagaling.

basta. basta. basta.



naiinis ako. ANG ANGAS.

kung wala kang pakialam at naligaw ka lang dito, SALAMAT NA RIN SA PAGBABASA. HAHA.



What "secret" is Marky bringing to his grave?

A hero's welcome today is scheduled not only for Manny Pacquiao who's coming home victorious from Las Vegas after beating Mexico's Oscar dela Hoya in a non-title bout last Saturday, Dec. 7 (Saturday, Dec. 6 US Time), but also for Marky Cielo who's making his final trip to Sitio Bauco, Benguet, Mountain Province, three days after he was found dead at his home in Mission Hills, Antipolo City, only a few minutes before Dela Hoya threw in the towel at Round 9.


Never have the two faces of showbiz - one triumphant and the other tragic - been so graphically depicted.


Pacquiao will come home with hands raised, waving at his fans while Marky, who is pure Igorot, will go home inside a coffin with a glass top that allows a full view of his body clad in a violet turtle-necked sweatshirt and the black suit that he wore when he won as the Sole Survivor of the 2005 (third edition) of the GMA reality-TV talent search StarStruck where he was known as The New Bad Boy of the Dancefloor after his predecessor, Mark Herras.


Pacquiao drew a collective roar of approval from his kababayan here and in Filipino communities around the world while Marky left a big question mark with his untimely demise. At 20 (last May 12, Taurus), Marky had the world ahead of him. It was within grabbing distance. When he died, he was in the cast of the GMA soaps La Lola, after having just finished Asero (topbilled by Richard Gutierrez). His other shows were Zaido, the Struck Attack portion of Startalk, Enkantadia, Fantastic Kids Love2Love and Bakekang.


There was no premonition at all - or was there?


Those close to Marky recalled that on Saturday night, he was with friends at an Internet café along Tomas Morato Avenue, Quezon City, crying while talking to an unidentified caller on his cell phone. Who was he talking to? Nobody knew; Marky didn't tell anybody who. There was a report that Marky made several unanswered (desperate?) calls to his manager-mentor who, unfortunately, was sleeping too soundly to call back. What did Marky want to tell him, something "urgent?" And also, Marky was said to have had a heart-to-heart talk with his mother who said in a TV newscast that it was about "something personal" and who was quoted to have advised Marky to "face it" like a man, "Lutasin mo ang problema mo; ikaw lang ang makakalutas n'yan."

And what were the "death threats" Marky was reported to be receiving, and from whom?

According to another report, mother and son were scheduled to attend a charity project that Sunday morning and the mother wondered why he was taking time to fix himself. And when she opened the door, she was shocked to find Marky unconscious ("nakahandusay," said the official GMA statement). He was declared DOA (Dead On Arrival) at a nearby hospital.

Marky will be laid to rest on Tuesday, Dec. 16, at the back of their house in Sitio Batcu, according to Igorot tradition, bringing to his grave a "secret" that perhaps the world will never know. Not now, not yet, anyway.

una, ayoko ng title ng article.


pangalawa, ano ba talagang meron kay Pacquiao at tuwing nananalo siya eh may kapalit na mga ganito?


at pangatlo, bakit ba super affected ako sa pagkamatay ni Marky?! BAKEEET?!?

nakakainis ka, Marky. pinapahirapan mo ko.




Remembering Marky Cielo...

As Filipinos rejoiced over Manny Pacquiao's win against Oscar De la Hoya last Sunday, showbiz was grieving due to the sudden demise of former StarStruck Ultimate Sole Survivor Batch 3 Marky Cielo. This also shocked his family, friends and fans. Mark's mom Mildred found her eldest son dead in his room at their Mission Hills, Antipolo residence at 6 a.m. Mildred rushed Mark at the Antipolo Doctors' Hospital but the doctors declared him dead on arrival at 10 a.m.

His remains lie at the Cielos' house in Antipolo. It will be brought to his hometown in Benguet.

Marky's acting and dancing skills endeared him to the public. It was not surprising why he starred on Fantastikids, Zaido: Pulis Pangkalawakan, Kaputol ng Isang Awit, S.O.P and Startalk's Struckatak. His amiable personality and wholesome image helped him become the role model of young people and Department of Health's Youth Spokesperson.

Now that he's gone, many couldn't help but reminisce the good old days they spent with Marky. Among them are his fellow StarStruck graduates who have grown with Marky on and off camera.

Their thoughts:

Iwa Moto - "He was a great person and always smiling. I had never seen him frowning nor getting mad. He was also funny kasi everytime na kausap mo siya parang laging late mag-sink in sa kanya yung sinasabi mo. He was professional and a brother to us. He will stay alive in our heart."

Gian Carlos - "I don't just consider him a friend but a brother as well. First day pa lang ng StarStruck days namin, magkaibigan na kami. He is the godfather of my child. 'Pag naaalala ko siya, puro masasayang moments namin ang naaalala ko. I will miss Boknoy (Marky's nickname) as a true friend."

Rhea Nakpil - "He is my Papa Bear. He has always been the Golden Boy of our batch. He was humble and cheerful. What I like about him is that he never changed a bit given his popularity. What I can never forget about him is when I asked a favor from him about my school project. He helped me with open heart. He would always find time (to his friends) even if he was busy. He remains my Papa Bear and me, his bear. Our leader and brother will always stay forever in our heart. We love you Boknoy."

Arci Muñoz - "His personality reflects every action he does. He was very persistent, caring, fun to be with but very deep. He was the kind of person you cannot easily read. When we were doing Startalk Struckatak with Chuck (Allie), he would untie my shoe lace after I just tied it. He would burp ABCs in front of my face and dance his favorite robot moves. But after our shot, he would throw at me a can of Coke Light and say, 'Sorry kung in-untie ko ang shoe lace mo kanina.' I called him kuya during our Starstruck competition. I'd stay in a corner and try to draw and he'd approach me to ask if he could draw on my pad as well. He made me a layout of Wolverine. I still have it with me. He also knew how to touch everyone's heart with just a smile."

Vaness del Moral - He was down-to-earth, caring, loving, patient. He was a good son. I will never forget our tawagan as Lakay and Baket. You would never hear him complain nor say negative things about anyone.

promise, hindi talaga ako fan.

nalulungkot lang talaga ko..



I HATE YOU, MARKY.

I HATE YOU.



Last game for JV Casio.

Ateneo lost to the Green Archers.

71-62.

Unfortunately, they failed to defend their PCC Championship Title from La Salle.


Without the Rookie of the Year, Ryan Buenafe, and their Team Captain, Chris Tiu, the Ateneo Blue Eagles obviously lacked the Champion Spirit they used to have. They are not the same Ateneo Blue Eagles I love.

I think what made them play like this today is because they don't have a leader that would guide their every play, and the one to whom they could pass the ball.

Another thing, Rabeh Al-Hussaini was a different guy in this game. It's as if he wasn't the one who won the MVP Award in the UAAP 71. Simply, he's off.

But the guy who almost took the whole Ateneo squad on his shoulders is Jai Reyes. He really made me clap whenever his 3-point shots go in. "Go Jai! *clap* Go Jai! *clap*" HAHA.


Anyway, even though I really wanted Ateneo to win and successfully defend their title, their loss wasn't that heartbreaking for me. Maybe because it's just the PCC. coz you know, UAAP's another story.

And also because I was happy for JV, that at least, his last game as a Green Archer was a win. But at the same time, I felt sad for Yuri Escueta because it's also his last game as a Blue Eagle.

oh well.. that's life. Sometimes you really have to lose. But twice the pain if you lose against your archrivals. and twice the joy if you win against them.


By the way, i'm very much happy for JV. He was one of the Mythical Five (together with Rico Maierhofer, Rabeh Al-Hussaini, Nonoy Baclao, and RJ Jazul). AND!!! He was the Finals MVP!! so great!


What a nice way to end his Collegiate Career!



To you, JV. I will see you in PBL, and who knows, even in PBA. With the great skill, talent, and heart you've shown for the past five years you've been a Green Archer, I know it wouldn't be hard for you to reach your dreams and move on to the Pros. And until then, I would continue to support you. Promise.



huhu. Marky Cielo's dead. :(

Young actor Marky Cielo, 20, dies


PEP (Philippine Entertainment portal) received a confirmed report earlier this afternoon, December 7, that young actor Marky Cielo died at dawn today. He was 20 years old.


However, the cause of death is not yet clear. An initial report says that Marky died in his sleep. His mother went up to his room in their house in Antipolo City around 6 a.m. to wake him up for a charity event. But he never woke up.


GMA-7 is expected to make an official statement anytime soon.


Marky was a product of GMA-7's StarStruck Batch 3, where he won as the Ultimate Sole Survivor. He was the first Igorot to join the popular reality-based artista search. Among his batchmates were Iwa Moto, Jackie Rice, and Gian Carlo.


After winning in StarStruck, he appeared in several GMA-7 shows which included Encantadia, Fantastikids, Bakekang, Asian Treasures, Boys Next Door, Kaputol ng Isang Awit, and Codename: Asero. But he was best known as Zaido Green in Zaido: Pulis Pangkalawakan.


He was also a mainstay of the musical-variety show SOP and in the primetime series La Lola.


Marky, who is also known for his dancing, grew up in Butuan City but his family moved to the Mountain Province.

His remains now lies at St. Peter's Chapel in Quezon City.

WAH talaga. he's dead! i can't believe it. seryoso.

nung una kong narinig sa The Buzz na patay na nga siya, parang "weh?! si Marky Cielo?!"

nung narinig ko, hindi ako naniwala. actually hanggang ngayon, di pa rin ma-absorb ng utak ko. HINDI. HINDI. HINDI.


waaah.


hindi ako super fan niya, pero wala lang. gusto ko lang siya, simula pa lang nung sa StarStruck. kasi parang mabait naman tas simple pa, kasi di ba Igorot siya. so aun. hanggang nung napunta siya sa Encantadia, sinundan ko pa rin. (haha. promise, di ako fan. )


alam mo yun, kahit Kapamilya ako, sinubaybayan ko siya noon. tapos.... tapos....


malalaman ko na lang ngayon na patay na siya?!


tas sabi bangungot daw. ang unang pumasok sa isip ko, si Rico Yan.

batang namatay. habang nasa rurok ng kasikatan. tapos bangungot din.


haai.. i really feel sad.


Condolence na lang po sa family ni Marky.




si Pacquiao kasi, nanalo pa eh. :|



Kung ganito rin lang ang magiging kaibigan ko, "Thanks, but NO THANKS."

i have friends from Ateneo.

my super duper ultimate crush is from Ateneo.

and i know they're way, way, way better than HER.

i know they're definitely not like her.

habang binabasa ko 'to, na-realize ko na sobrang swerte ko dahil lumaki akong hindi mayaman.

AT LEAST ALAM KONG KAHIT MAMATAY AKO, NAGING MAKABULUHAN ANG BUHAY KO. HINDI PURO PA-SOSYAL.

hindi ako nabuhay sa apricot scrub, hindi ako nabuhay na may yaya na dini-disinfect ang cellphone ko, hindi ako naturukan ng sangkatutak na vaccines in one go dahil lang makikipag-interact ako sa mga kapwa ko Pilipino, at pag pinapakain ako sa ibang bahay, kumakain talaga ko nang buong-puso at hindi nagpapaka-plastic sa maybahay.


pag nakakabasa ako ng mga ganito, mas lalo kong naiisip, "sana, dumating ang araw na mag-iiba ang ikot ng mundo. ang mga mahihirap (at mga inaapi), sila ang giginhawa. at yung mga taong walang ginawang matino sa buhay kundi magpaka-sasa sa mga kamunduhan, sila ang maghihirap." TRY LANG NILA.



haai. masaya ko dahil nasa UP ako. at masaya ko dahil may CWTS ako. at sinisigurado ko na seseryosohin ko ang pagtulong sa iba. hindi yung dahil lang sa requirements at para lang sa grade. :|



ui friend, HUG HER DAW.


tsk. ibato kita sa north pole eh. kasama mo mga polar bears. tutal ayaw mo ng madudumi. MANIGAS KA.
