Thoughts of YOU

I know that at this point in time, even though we are only inches apart, you never know how happy you are making me. With all that we have been through, ever since you are still in me. There are so many things that you changed in me. You are the inspiration that made my life more exciting as well as challenging. Never did I realized, that you will bring such an enormous feeling deep within me. Something that is indescribable. Just looking at you as you sleep so calmly and making some weird faces completes my day ahead. How much more when that little eyes of yours slowly opens the day with a smile? A smile that has captured everybody’s heart in our humble abode. You make so many things that bind us all together. These small things which really matters, such as how you make that little face looks like a crumpled paper when you are about to explode that very loud sound. Haha! A sound that when heard by all of us, fill the house with laughter. I really love every thing that you do.

The way you react with every sound you hear…

The way you smile at me when we talk…

The way you make different sounds…

And on how you embrace me unknowingly…

That every time I am away, I know that you are looking for mommy’s cuddle…

On how excited you are when you are about to feed on me…

Your little gestures my angel has brought big changes in my life.

These are changes that I wished for…and it was granted.

You truly are such a blessing!!! I will never stop thanking God for bringing you into our lives…May we make the most of every moment we have together as you grow to be a good man. May we, (together with Daddy Popoy) be able to guide you as become the person God has intended you to be.

We love you baby…

First Time Mommy =)

What is a mother? It is a woman who conceives, gives birth to, or raises and nurtures a child.

But we all know..that a mom is beyond that..

During my pregnancy, I am a bit hesitant about how will I be able to take care of my little unborn? I was confused knowing that I do not have my nanay around to teach me things. Those things that a first time mommy like me needs.

Di ko talaga alam kung papaano maalagaan ang batang ilalabas ko. But like Nanay, whom I know is watching me all the time up above, I need to be strong for my little precious.

When baby came, I am overwhelmed with the resposibilities. I am alone. It is not that Popoy is unsupportive. I am very thankful to have the man who helped me be a fulfilled woman.. =) But it is that as a mother, I need to take care of my little one. I have to feed him at anytime he demands. (I am targeting full breastfeeding up until I can). I have to change his diapers, clean his pupus, bathe him, all of it, without the help of mom.

And I miss her once again.

At times, it made me cry, hoping that she is there when I need to have my questions be answered. Who will assist me and teach me on how can I take good care of my angel. Reality strikes that I have to strive working on my own. That I have to master the art of MOTHERHOOD.

Sa kabila naman ng lahatng paghihirap, pagtatanong, pangungulila at kung ano anong emosyon..may pahina na naman na nadagdag sa buhay ni bakekang. Isang pahina na babalik balikan. Lilipat man ito sa susunod na kabanata..masaya akong maipagmamalaki na kakayanin ko at kinaya ang mga pagsubok ng maging isang Ina. Oo. Matatag ako. Yan ang iniisip kong lagi. Sa lahat ng problemang dumating at maaring dumating sa amin ni Baby at Popoy.

At sa araw na inilaan para sa mga Ina. Isa na ako sa mga masasayang babae na nagkaroon ng panibagong dahilan upang mabuhay at mabuhay ng marangal at maayos. Sa araw na ito. Nagpapasalamat din ako sa lahat ng babaeng naging bahagi ng paglago ko. Na nagsilbing Ina sa akin. May asawa man o wala. Lahat sila ay naging sandigan para magkaroon ng isang Bakekang na may tinatanaw na mga pangarap. Isang Bakekang na huhubog ng panibagong tao.

Kaya para sa iyo, GABRIEL NICHOLAS, salamat kay Lord sa pagdating mo sa buhay ko..mahal na mahal kita..

What Bakekang Means

You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous. You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things. Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. You can have a pretty bad temper at times. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.

What Ninalyn Means

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.

He Came!!!

"Just when I thought I was over you..

Just when I thought I can stand on my own..

Oh Baby..those mem'ries come crushing through.."

"Marriage is the only war wherein you sleep with your enemy. "

Yun na nga ang ginawa ko kay Popoy dahil wala akong magagawa kundi ang makatabi siya sa higaan the day before the wedding ni grasya. Ayun at ginamit ko na ang pinakatatago kong pangsangga para di na lang ako madismaya dahil kinabukasan..magisa akong maglalayag sa kalsada. Silence is one of the weapon I use when Popoy and I was into something not that good.

At take note.

The goody man my hubby is..

HE CAME!!!

Not at the time I arrived sa church, but nonetheless, he surprised me by coming over and giving up that event he needs to attend to. Alam kong negative yun sa kanyang record pero mas pinili pa din niya ako..

Weeeeh! Ang saya ko naman..Yun lang.

Happy, Sad, Whatever...

Ni revise ko lang yun homily ni Father sa Mass nina John last Wednesday. I am just having mixed emotions today.

Happy.

Coz today, another friend of mine will say "I do" to her boyfriend of more than 10 years. Whew! Bigatin di ba?

Sad.

I am attending the said event without Popoy.

Happy.

The reason why he cannot accompany me for the said "once in a lifetime event" of our dear friend is that he received "Silver Award" for a report he submitted to their mother company in Japan. Yehey! This will be held at Bellevue Hotel in Alabang. Tama ba ang spelling ko ng hotel na un?

Sad.

I have been asking him ever since we have known the exact date of the wedding and promised me that he will be there. And that only yesterday. He confirmed that he will not be able to attend.

I am hurted. For a fact that when his boss, asked him to choose between being with me to go to the wedding and attending the said award's night. HE CHOOSES TO ATTEND THE AWARD'S NIGHT. He kept on saying "Sorry". Ala daw siyang magagawa. I cannot determine if I am just being childish and stubborn. Insisting to myself that I should be the one to be chosen. I do not want to limit his decision but in my heart, I still feel the need to be taken cared of..especially that I am on my 37th week. Whew! Call me inconsiderate, but this did not happen only once. It happened many times. Choosing between staying with workmates or fetching/accompanying me. Hay...I had no doubt if He really loves me or not. But It is that kind of importance I need to feel.

But then again, for the benefit of my BABY NHOJ, who is bound to fill my lonely day with laughters and is cheering me up by making some groovy moves inside my big tummy. I shall post this pic of mine as I celebrate my 26th year here on earth. Yipee!

Maybe. Just Maybe. Tomorrow will be a "Happy Mode" day since there will be a double celebration as I bid bye bye to my wonderful 25th year and Little Johnny as he graduates Grades School and enters High School.

But whatever happens, it is still us that decides on how we shall deal with negative emotions, and that is turning this bad chi into a good one.

That is Power Thinking! Have a great weekend everyone!

Samu't Saring Kwento

Hay..I am in the office right now..eto at emote mode ako ngayon. in days..I will be adding another year in my age..hmmm..isang taon na naman ang lumipas and it have been a very wonderful silver year of my life.

Ang daming nangyari sa nagdaang taon..di ko akalain na ganon kabilis ang mga pangyayari at eto..isa na akong expectant mom at the age of 25. Not too young nor too old to start my new career in motherhood. I must admit that before, upon knowing of the existence of this little angel of mine, medyo hesitant ako if I am really am able to be a good mom to my child and my future children. Dun din ako nakaisip if I am ready to be Popoy's wife na tlaga. Pero all in all, masaya ako ngayon to whatever state I am now. Maraming advantages akong nararanasan to be called MRS. GARY CACANANTA. Sa dami nun, this post might be a boring one to enumerate. Siguro kapag nagkaroon na ulit ako ng inspirasyon to list all of it. Pero I know that I am truly blessed being given this great gifts: My Hubby and My Baby.

Sa nagdaang taon, I was able to prove that I am capable of working ang competing abroad. Yun nga lang..maybe God wants me to be in another situation. Maybe not now that I am having another responsibility to my baby and honey. Having this, mas nakafocus ako to the years ahead. Not like when I am still single, kesehodang alang ipon, basta magpakasaya. Tsaka ngayon, “we” are planning definite plans. Di na un tipong “bahala na si batman”. Madami na kaming inaayos. Madami na din pangarap na in my humble opinion, we have accomplished early. At this age namin ni Popoy, although, madami pa kaming lalakbayin, masaya kasi nakapagsimula na kami. Baby steps as it may seems, I am cherishing those steps, steps that are very crucial to a new marriage. And I believe that we are tracking the right path. Eto na nga at nagwento na ako.

Sige na nga.

Being a wife of Popoy, it was really a blessing. Sobra. It is not that I usually win over whatever whims I have at the moment. Pero most of the time, I win it! Nyehehe! I am being pampered so much that I may miss this when baby nhoj comes. Nagselos na agad? Ahaha.. Alam naman ng lahat, how kind my hubby is. How he values family over other things. And although, we are not yet blessed sa church kasi we had our civil wedding only, I am happy na we are able to go to church regularly. We are starting it right..I know and I believe. It was HIS plan to place me/us in this situation. One of the things I wished for and was granted!!! Yehey! I know I am not that good (super mabait) to deserve such blessings! But ganon talaga..paborito ako ni Lord eh!

And being a paborito, syempre, di maiiwasan ang sandamakmak na pagsubok. It is during this time, na ang dami kong naiisip. Dami kong gustong gawin. Pero everything should be well planned na..kasi we have another human being to consider. And that is our little baby. I am feeling more mature on my decisions and actions. I think over things many times before I decide to dig into it. As in. Sobrang negosyante na ang lola mo, kasi di ko basta isasabak ang lahat para sa isang maling desisyon pa. Pero I know in time, I will commit many. Then Learn from it. It was that naman di ba?

And this journey shall continue..Bakekang will still be on the go!!!! Woohoo!

At yan na nga..bumibilang na tayo..

I am on my 33^rd week of pregnancy. It is fun being in this kind of condition kasi everyone calls you “buntis”. Most of the people you see around are nice to you. There is a special attention being given to you especially at this stage na obvious na ang aking tiyan. Little Nhoj (ang tawag ko sa kanya up until he comes into this world) is getting bigger na din. He occupies most of the space in my tummy. Pero kahit ano pa man..lamon pa din. Hehe. But I am not a “Pasawife”naman. I regularly drink my vitamins and kahit papaano eh iwas din sa bawal.

Naku, mahaba na itong kwento ko. Bak to work na ulit ako.

Until next time! Tata!

And he kissed me "Good Night!"

And he kissed me good night!

Naks..english ang title ng post ko na ito pero tagalog kong iwewento ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit kaya ko pa rin ngumiti sa kabila ng lahat.

Nahihirapan ako sa panahon na ito, syempre dala na rin ng lumalaki kong tiyan eh, kasabay na ang iba’t ibang emosyon na pumapalaot sa makitid kong utak. Pero sa bawat pagtitiis kong ito, may napakagandang kapalit.

Di ko sinasabi ako na ang pinakasawi sa lahat ng nangangarap. Hello lang, saan ka pa na kahit may asawa ka na eh, ang butihing mong ama pa din ang gigising sa umaga at ipagluluto ang bunso mong kapatid ng baon, syempre kasabay nun ang paghahanda sa pagkain namin ni Popoy dear. Pero, di din naman lahat ng dinaranas ko eh nakakatuwa. Pag-kaalis ni Popoy kasabay ang aking makulit na kapatid (hehe). Dun na magsisimula ang paglalayag ng utak ko. Isa na dun ang isipin na ilang oras akong matatali sa gitna ng dagat ng walang kasama. Dun ko pupunuin ang utak ko ng kung ano ano..

At ang mga ito ay ang mga sumusunod.

~> mahirap ang walang datung na inaasahan. Jobless kasi ako eh. Donation naman dyan! (wehehe!!!)

~> nasasayang ang oras ko pero pinipilit kong gumawa ng kabutihan.

~> uy! Positive naman..gagawa ako ng mga gagamitin ng anak naming ni Popoy. (meron na akong pillowcases na blue..tinahi ko yun!)

~> babalik sa sayang at di na kami sabay pumasok ni popoy sa work.

~> magbabasa kunwari. Magcheck ng email. Magapply kung may papatol. Magfriendster at magmultiply.

~> at marami pang iba.

Dun, totoyoin ako sa gitna ng dagat at bago pa man magkagat dilim, magsisimula akong bumalik sa baybay dagat para mag-handa sa pagbabalik ni Popoy. Maiirita dahil paulit-ulit na lang ang ginagawa. Laba. Luto. Kain. Kain. Kain. Wehehe. Linis. Laba. Luto.

Hehe..

So anong masaya sa buhay ko na super boring?

Syempre, nung dumating na si Popoy, ipaghahain ko na siya ng paborito niyang pinakbet.wehehe. na noon ko lang naman niluto. Ordinaryong araw lang yun. PAgkatapos, naghugas ako ng pinggan, nag-ayos ng higaan habang si Popoy abalang naglilinis ng katawan. Uy! Bango niya..

At tumabi na siya sa akin..yun na! Kiss na niya ako sa noo (Uy! Lola?!?) At biglang nag-thank you! Ang sarap naman..kahit pagod na ako sa maghapon ditto sa bahay..eh..may premyo pala ang lahat. At mahimbing na natulog si Bakekang habang hinihimas ang bilog niyang..tiyan! Haha..

Ayun. Masaya na ulit ako.

On Pregnancy

This post should have been posted during the times when I am really down with regards to my condition.

Dahil normal sa babae ang mabuntis..inamin na ni J.Lo at Christina Aguilera ang lahat..kahit si Jennylyn Mercado umamin na din..I decided to post na din ang entry na ito.

This has been the first post I will ever have regarding the status of my new life. There have been so many things that fill my day the past few months. I kept it all inside me and hide the fact there is a problem that burdens me and it has been the most difficult challenge that I ever faced. Although, many people had gone through this scenario, I must admit that you will never can tell how scary being on it until you are at it. Never did I imagine that I will be one of those people, we commented so much.

I am guilty of being so in love with a man whom I know that truly is God-given.

But that will never justify whatever it is that we are currently having. A trouble I guess at first, because I looked at it before as a fault. It is a terrible mistake of a seemingly perfect relationship. That is something which should not be done nor thought of doing. But that was it. I am guilty of the so called early pregnancy. Although I must say that the man whom I share the love for our unborn baby is the perfect guy for me, the situation is uncalled for.

There were so many nights that I cried to sleep. Thinking over what we have done. What could have gone wrong? Did I trust that easy or give in so fast that God has planned this so that we could learn our lessons well. I have read in the best selling book Purpose Driven Life, that every child is planned by God. No matter what the situation is. That my little angel was already in God’s plan.

It was very hard for me to accept all those things. Those are the things that I will be sacrificing when this happened. It is because my child will come into the world soon! At this point of time, I had gone over the fault finding, the heartbreaks, the self pity and all those negative emotions that I felt. It was this situation that made me stronger. I thanked my mom (although she is no longer here with us) for all those advices and inspirations I always kept in mind that somehow I know God has already prepared me going through this situation.

Well. The most depressing part of this is breaking the news to my Dad. I admire and love him so much that I truly know that I have made a mistake that will disappoint him. I was arguing with Popoy when he will have the guts to tell my dad about it. Yes, he is the man! Who else?!? Until I find the right strategy, surfing over the internet to pick some suggestions from the people who share the same situation. The Letter Strategy is the most convincing advice I picked. Then, I told Popoy about my plan. He agreed. He must agree! He he!

The plan had gone as expected. As any Dad would ever felt that her little daughter will soon be taken by the man he trusted so well, it was his initial reaction that made my soon to be more scared of him. Although, I admit that I expect some people to react negatively, I was a bit disappointed with some whom I felt that will support me the most in this dilemma I am going through are the ones who almost turned their back on me. I neither blame them for their reaction nor accept their opinion. I may say that I am too stubborn to feel what they feel. I am selfish, thinking about how to solve this problem when in fact even before there are lot of things that we still need to figure out together to solve. But everything has already changed. My perspective in life has turned around from being a happy go lucky girl to being responsible woman looking forward to building a family that will correct all those wrong things done before.

Now, I can accept all the name callings being tagged over me. Although, I admit that I am a strong woman, carefully molded by my humble experience from the past 25 years, I still feel the hurt. I just know that I needed to be strong even if I can’t, I just have to be. For my baby and my future family.

I have to start moving on. Even some people around still cannot. I just have this one request from you who is reading this. Please pray for me, my baby, my husband, and my loved ones. May all wounds heal that were created by this mistake. Amen.

Haym Vak!!!!

Ako ay muling nagbalik.

Makalipas ang ilang buwan ng pananahimik. Nandito ako muli. Nabasag ng pagkakataon at muling binuo ng isang taong binigay ng Diyos upang maging katuwang hanggang sa dulo ng walang hanggan.

Ang drama ng entrada ng lola mo ano?

Pano bang hindi magiging maramdamin ang salita ko eh dumaan ako sa isang napakasikip na kalye. Madilim pa. Siguro kahit flashlight di ka makakadaan. Buti na lang may kasabay akong naka HHWWPSSP (Nyahaha!). Meron din ibang tumulong at nagbigay ng tamang direksyon. (Salamat sa inyo ha!)

Doon ko nalaman. Kahit gaano kadilim ang kalyeng binabagtas mo. Makakaraan ka pa din. Kasi ilang saglit lang na pagiintay mag bukang liwayway na..na magbibigay ng liwanag sa di tiyak na daraaanan. Aun. Dumating ang araw na pinakaiintay ko.

Eto na ako ngayon. Masaya sa kabila ng pangyayaring minsan na inisip na sana ay di ko naranasan. Pero alam kong dahil sa kaganapan na ito. Nakuha ko ang isang piraso ng palaisipan na bubuo sa puzzle ng buhay ko. Hinubog ako ng pagkakataon. Pinatatag ng mga taong nakapaligid. Positibo man o negatibo ang dulot. Alam kong kinailangan ko sila para muli akong makatindig.

Ang dami kong kwento.

Sana mabasa mo. Sama sama nating sariwain ang nakalipas na buwan ng buhay ko. At bagtasin ang nalalabi pang araw ng taon na ito.

Kasi si "Bakekang on the Go" na naman para bumuo ng panibagong puzzle.

Blame it on Us

And what we did was wrong...

So blame it all on us...

We will accept it wholeheartedly...

Sorry...

13th month: a PAY not a bonus!

hehe..upon browsing the net..i came to read a conversation regarding the 13th month being considered by many filipinos as bonus..la lang..ako din kasi ganon ang pananaw sa 13th month.

Lemme share this with you..

"Thursday, January 11th, 2007 in For Sharing

Why there is a 13-month bonus when it is really isn’t a bonus?

The mystery is finally revealed! When the British were in Singapore, they were being paid weekly & they argued that Singaporeans were actually being cheated into believing that the 13th month pay is a bonus. Singaporeans are being paid monthly which is equivalent to 4 weeks pay coz there are 4 weeks in a month.

As the British were paid weekly, it worked out to the same. You see, there are 7 days in a week. 4 weeks in a month. 12 months in a year. Then 12 months should work out to 48 weeks only. But 1 year actually has 52 weeks!!! Hence the 13th month is your own pay not bonus??!!). So, the British argued that there is in fact no bonus at all??? It is a very simple calculation that stunned many!!!!"

Ilan taon na din akong nedenggoy nun ah..wahaha..buti na lang di na ako nag work at di na din aasa sa 13th month pay..wehehe..so sa mga nagiintay ng 13th month pay nila..good luck!

Nalulungkot ako...

Hating gabi na..di pa din ako makatulog...

Nakakalungkot kasi..

Di ko masabi..

Di ko makaya..

Hanggang kelan? Hay..

Sana bukas pag gising ko..kayanin ko na..

Happy Birthday Monina!

weeeeeeeh! o di ba tumanda ka na naman ng isang taon..salamat sa walang sawang suporta!

This woman has been the one of the strongest person I met! (Libre naman dyan!)
Wishing you all the best life can offer! Labs yun fwend!

Updates to the Land Down Under

It has been more than 2 months that I had tendered my resignation (but glad about it!) but there is no sign of the visa coming anytime. Good Thing that cyber is here and I am able to fill in my free (super mega over free!) time. Hahaha..the wait has been the very draining moment of every visa applicant as they may say. But I choose not to fall for that. But for more than 2 months of being a bum? Naku..talaga palang nakakadrain ang pag-iintay. Yun nga at mahigit isang buwan na din yun "wishing you all the best" ng aking mga amigo at amiga! hehe..I have no choice but to wait.

So for all those pipol who are much excited with me going abroad..naku, mahaba habang kwentuhan pa yata ito..pero I am not losing the hope that October will be my month! Woohoo!

Come in October blessings!

Happy on Mistakes

We all make mistakes..

Sometimes?!?

Most of the Times?!?

Yah, I have been absent in cyber writing because i felt empty. I am so lost for words that I cannot describe the feeling that I am experiencing right now. We all plan for good things for our future.

All the positive ones.

That is the sad fact about it.

That when bad (or not so bad) things happen, we are left in the middle of nowhere. Parang binagsakan ka ng isang truck ng yelo at pinatay lahat ng cells mo para wala kang maramdaman na kahit ano.

This is what I felt when a not so good thing happens.

But as 25-year old girl (or lady), I should know the consequences of my mistakes. Di na pde pang baguhin ang lahat kasi nga nagawa na. And as I am going to this tough stage in my life where I am bound to experience the next level. I am able to think of the brighter side of every mistake. During my college days, na super dami ng mali kong ginawa. I know that each and every event that happened are connected to our future and it has its reasons. Carefully molding our individual personality. I believe that I am a strong person because of that. And continously, religiously believed that I am. That is something I can boast about. But God will always put your faith on fire. He makes kulit often. Pero syempre, Koino ako (clap for being one!) I can stand through it. Nakakakita pa rin ako ng liwanag sa kabila ng bawat ulan, kulog at kidlat na dumating. Milenyo man maituring ang isang problema. Magagawan pa yan ng paraan.

And as I am about to go through that next journey, wow! I cannot believe that I am. Smile on my face. It is indeed a great blessing that I am still here standing amidst this problem (now, I consider this as small one) and holding the hand of the God-given-but-not-prayed-for (wahaha!) person that is Popoy (a.k.a. Gary Guiang Cacananta)

Tonight, he will make the most terrifying, nerve-wracking, super-trilling thing of his entire life (haha! hope he feels the last one there). So I am asking for all of your prayers for him to have the guts he never had for the nth attempts in the past weeks.

I am excited and nervous at the same time!

Prayerful Nina on a Tuesday Afternoon..Saint Anthony pray for us!

Siyudad Engrande Adbetyurs

Medyo matagal na din akong di nakapag update. Hmmmm..kasi medyo disappointed ako to what my visa application process been going. More than 2 months na kasi and still my ticket to the Land Down Under is still blurry.

Pero amidst that..madami din naman nangyari after the suprise party.

Isa sa ito ang maaksyon at malatelenobelang wento last September 2. =) Happy reading!!!

After a week, may celebration naman sa bahay..that is my Dadut's 55th birthday. Mega handa kami kasi biro mo dati 4 kaming girls na magluluto at mag-aayos ng bahay..ngayon 2 na lang..waaaaah! At dahil super galing kong magluto..wehehe..eh..hanggang gayat lang ako at tagasalin ng mga ingredients sa kawali..ang taste test kay daduts.

Aga pa lang nun..busy na kami kasi lunch ang dating ng sangkatutak kong mga kamag-anak (from daddy's side). Nakakatuwa naman kasi masaya. Kantahan sila sa videoke (c/o Tiyo Rico) habang ako busy sa pag-aayos. Good Thing my ever reliable Popoy was there with me to help me. Ayun. Nakaraos ang maghapon. Taob ang 3 lalagyan ng ulam. Ang Kanin meron unti tas puto at sopas..ubos din..Samakatuwid. It was such a blast. Nasa sobrang pagod..dinugo ako. Wahaha!

Pag alis ng mga tao..kantahan kami nina jil, john, at gary. Habang si Daduts, busy sa pagbubukas ng kanyang balikbayan package courtesy of my sissy joy in singapore. O di ba? International na kami..while si Kuya nasa Dubai.

Ayun na nga..at ito ang isang pangyayari sa araw na iyon na di ko makakalimutan eber in may layp. As in. Lintik lang ang tindi ng amnesia ko kapag nakalimutan ko ito. Maaksyon masyado ito at baka hingalin kayo. Hahaha! Actually wala ako sa scene ng may biglang bumato sa bubong ng bahay naman (Aba! at mukhang di nagandahan sa mala adarna kong boses!) Nandun kasi ako sa banyo..kasalukuyan naliligo (Pasma na itu after a beri fagod day!) Ayun. At matapang kong sissy at daduts lumabas. The next thing. Lumapit na mga lasing na bisita ng aming NAPAKABAIT NA KAPITBAHAY!!! Well, sabi ko nga second hand info na lang ang mga ito dahil wala ako sa scene. Ang alam ko lang nagkaroon ng komosyon. At ang dugo ni Gabriela ay sumapi sa kapatid ko pati na rin si Diego kay Daduts. Samakatuwid. May nangyaring pagtatalo. At ang aking medyo oldy pero super lakas na daduts may hawak na. (di ko nasabihin dito kasi may issue pa eh). Dumating ang isang atribidang junior mangkok. (Wahaha..) Basta isa siya sa anak ng aming NAPAKABAIT NA KAPITBAHAY. Ayun na nga. Me paeksena na si jr.mangkok. Sigawan yata sila dun. Di ko talaga alam ang detalya. Pero in the end, lahat ay kumalma.

Tapos na.

Kantahan ulit kami. Nanginginig ang laman ko. Ewan ko ba. Ang saya saya kasi ng maghapon eh. Tas may biglang eksenang ganon!

At biglang may dumating na pulis patola. At dala ang kanilang armalite! Huwat? Hanu itu! Biglang nagtransform sa isang soap opera ang lahat! Usap usap. Imbitado si Daduts sa Prisinto. Sige. Mega sama ako at ang aking butihing popoy. Buti at nandun pa din sya. Hay. (Medyo segwey heywey..sarap talaga ng nandyan ka popoy!!!! )

Dun sa prisinto, di mapakaling manok itong si jr.mangkok. Hmp! Wala akong sama ng loob dito sa aming NAPAKABAIT NA KAPITBAHAY. Ang super pinagtataka ko lang bakit mega over imbyerna siya sa pamilya ko. Hayun. Blotter ang lola mo. Natatakot siguro sa kapayat niyang katawan patulan siya ng daduts ko. Usap sila ng imbestigador. Wait kami sa labas. Daduts ko naman. So in the end, the investigation officer has come into a conclusion na di ito nagmumula sa simpleng paghawak ng daduts ko ng bagay na yun. Isa itong matagal na alitan at INGGITAN ng magkapitbahay. Hay. Lumabas din ang totoo. Grave threat ang isasampa sa tatay ko! Hanu ba yan! Ilan kaya sila compare sa tatay ko. Kung pede lang bigyan ng matinding batok ang mga uto-utong bisita ng MANGKOK family.

Ayun. Nagusap sila ng daduts. Dahil si dady ang may kaso. Nagpakumbaba sya. IM SUPER PROUD OF HIM. With his personality, di ko expect na gagawin niya yun lalo na sa mga mangkok na yun. Hahaha. At dumating ang kapatid ko. Kinausap ng intrimitidang jr.mangkok. Naku..kung nandun lang kayo sa scene. Mapuputol nyo talaga ang dila sa talas ng mga sinasabi. Anyway. Sa lahat ng wento dahil di na din naman ako nakinig sa walang kwentang grudges nitong si payatitot na mangkok, sa linyang ito ako natuwa. "Kuya mo? Sa iyo na ang kuya mo!!!!!!" huwat? Anong kinalaman ng aking professional na kuya na ubod ng gwapo sa eksenang ito???? At hanggang ngayon, nasa puso mo pa din ang panghihinayang na di ka niligawan ng tuluyan ng kuya ko???? Just reading between the lines. Hahaha! Sabi ko na nga ba eh. May hinanakit siya sa aking super bro na miles apart na and years na ang lumipas sa kanila. Tawa na lang ako. Kaya pala.

So after na usapan. Magdamag kaming nandun sa prisinto. Para ayusin yun isang kaso.

Di pa dun natapos. Kinausap pa din ni dady si Tatay nila. Bumalik kami kasi resched daw. Nandun kami ng 7pm sa prisinto. Di ko alam wat araw na yun. Humahangos sila pagdating. Hahaha...galit na galit si tatay nila. Bakit kaya? Di din namin alam eh. Tas ng magwento na ang mangkok. Aba ang target daw pala ng dady ay ang tatay! Haha! Tawa na lang ako. Bakit? Siya ba ang nambato? Nandun ba siya sa eksena? Pero dahil sa kagustuhan na din namin na matapos na ang lahat. Humingi na ng paumanhin si daduts. Eto pa. Ang sabi ng mag-inang mangkok, si tatay daw talaga ang ayaw pumayag na iatras ang kaso. Tas nun ok na si tatay. Ang sabi ng mag-inang mangkok, pag-isipan mong mabuti. Kakatawa na lang. Tatay pala ang ayaw pumayag ha..tas ng ok na..ngarag silang sabihin pag-isipan pa ulit. Wahaha talaga! Talagang tatatak ito sa istorya ng buhay ko. Comedy eh! Samakatuwid ok na ang lahat. Ang next step na lang ay kung paano iiwasan ang pagprovoke ng mangkok family (di naman sila lahat!)

Aalis ba kami o patuloy silang maiinggit? Wahaha..Bahala na si Lord.

Sana lang wag ng maulit. Lalo na at may i go out of the country na ako (sana!!!)

Yun ibang events, next time na lang ulit! Tata!

Be Patient everyone!

My Surprise Party

Dito na magsisimula ang masayang moment…(^_^)

After nun, hatid na ako ni popoy sa amin, sabi niya daan muna kami kina anton kasi kukunin niya ang copy ng thesis niya. Ewan ko ba dahil sa tinagal tagal naman di ko naisip na bakit ngaun lang niya naisipan kunin. Galing din naman gumawa ng reason ni gary eh. Alam kasi niya na maniniwala ako. Hmp! Then, nagpaload sya. Di naman pumasok. Hehe. Sabi ko gamitin niya CP ko. Ewan ko ba at di ko pa din naisip na bakit need niya magtext sa CP niya eh, nakaplan naman ako. Ayun. Syempre, the sleepyhead lie on his lap while he texted.

Wala pa din idea si bakekang. Nun nakasakay na kami papunta bayan, ibinaba niya ulit ulo ko sa lap niya. Di naman ulit ako nagtaka..Ewan ko ba? Manhid lang talaga ako.

After, lakad kami sa subdivision ni anton. Nun nasa may gate na kami..nakatalikod si anton. Sbi ko pa. Mukhang may party pa sa kanila ah kasi may videoke. Tinutulak ako ni popoy. Sabi niya ayun o..tatay ni anton..eh si anton na pala yun. Wahaha. Kulit. Nakasara ng unti ang pinto. Tas pagpasok namin.

Surprise!

Ayun sila. May bros and sissies. Di kumpleto pero okay naman kasi nandun si Teta. Bestfriend ko. Masaya na ako. Di kasi kami masyado naguusap. Tagal na din.

Tulala pa din ako. Speechless. Tas kainan. Tulala pa din. Hehe..Si mulan ang may pakana ng lahat (Whew! See what my koino family has done, we had a very serious fight before and yet we stayed good friends).

Undefinable. So Magical.

We had toast for my quest to Land Down Under. (kahit wala pa visa ko)

Tas kantahan. Kami mga girls. Missed the old days. Akyat kami sa Room. Had our girls talk. I missed my gurlfwends. And I really wanna have that kind of chikahan before I leave.

Mga boys? Meron din. Inuman. Nalasing nga si gary, di ko pa yun nakitang nalasing. Ang daldal eh. Depressed malamang. Di pa kasi naming talaga napag-uusapan pano ba ang set-up (medyo sad part itu!)

To end the day/night/day ulit?!? Kasi till dawn eh..all I can say is that I am ready for my journey kasi I know that many pipol believed in my ability to make this successfully.

To all those that has been part of the Surprise Despidida..thank you po..sobrang nakakatouch talaga…Sana makasunod kayo no? Para dun tayo lahat. Hehe. Wish.

So I am definitely leaving..hay..nervous and excited again at the same time. That same old feeling.

A great Sunday indeed!!!

Late Sunday Kwento

Sunday was a great day..and so great that I was not able to post the story right after. Medyo may aftershock pa ako sa surprise ng aking pinakamamahal na koinonia. Since that was the first time that my fellow bros and sissies did to me, super nakakatuwa ang feeling.

Just to gave you a peek of what a great Sunday it was..

Umaga pa lang..puro kakulitan na ako…hehe…dahil excited akong makita si gary after a week of not seeing each other (weekly lang naman kasi kami magkita), ang aga-aga kong umalis sa bahay..in order to make it sa usapan namin na 9am. Tumawag ako using our super tipid Sun Cellular fone. At ayun, di pa daw siya naliligo. Hanuba yan..parang nawala bigla ang excitement ko. And the ever moody bakekang that is me, binabaan ko sya ng fone. O di ba? Tindi lang ng BF na makakatiis sa aking moods (and popoy has successfully did it for more than 4 years na! kasi siya lang naman naging bf ko ever). So ayun. Sa biyahe. Naghihimutok ang loob ko kasi nga nauna ako sa kanya. E ayoko ng pinagiintay ako. Wehehe. Pero sya pede magwait. Nun nafifil ko na mauuna siya sa akin, unti ng naglaylow ang emosyon ko. Syempre. Talo ako eh. Mas malapit naman kasi ang LB sa Letran. Nang magkita kami. Tulala siya. Ako. Nakataas ang kilay. Nun magHHWW na kami. Tumawa ako. At ayun. Hug niya ako at sabay pingot. Pinag-alala ko daw siya at nagmadali daw siya sa paliligo.

Wehehe. Kulit ko no? Kain kami sa Jobee sa kanto. Kita namin sina Kuya Riki at Toni parang may LQ, meron nga!!!! Hahaha..habang sila ay nagdramahan pa sa kabilang table kami ni popoy, tawanan lang kasi nga ang drama ko nun kausap ko sya sa fone. Ay! Binaba ko nga pala agad.

After nun, diretso kami sa Gym ng Letran. Attend ng sportsfest. Kwento sa mga members at alumni. Picture2x! Masaya. Pero not the one that we used to have. Malamang kasi nga oldies na ako. Hehe. Pero masaya pa din. Kausap ang bawat isa. No dull moments pa din.

Tawanan.

Kainan time. The traditional eating ceremony for applicants ito. Hehe. Ako, wala sa mood kasi gusto ko ng Tudings. Unti lang eat ko kasi wait ko ang tudings pag uwi.

Basketball. Laban alumni at members. Talo kami. Hehe. What would that mean? Syempre, pinagbigyan naming sila kasi naman tapos na kami sa efforts na yun. Wahaha..wat an excuse!

Interview. It is way a bit uplifting that still my organization has this uniqueness that “others” tried to copy but failed to do so. (issue na naman ito!!!) Haha. One thing I know, there is a magic, (that an applicant should not quit to experience that certain magic) that all of the inducted members felt. Masarap din kasi na mashare mo na ang magiging part ng pamilya kung ang experience mo kasi alam mong makakatulong yun sa kanya at magiging masaya siya sa magiging buhay niya for the next few years na Certified Koinonian na sya.

So after the full packed Day, we headed for Tudings. My moment. Hehe. But before that, punta kami bhaus kasama si kuya dexter. Usap sila. Tulog ako. Alis na kami. Eat sa tudings. Sarap. Hehe.

Sa Next post ang next event...

HOW TO CONTROL EMOTIONS (^_^)

This is a very good reminder for all of us.





This would give you guides on how to control your emotions towards your better-half, friends, officemates and all the people around you, especially your "boss".

The rules of practicing "ugaling langit, ugaling kaaya-aya"

#1 Ang naunang magalit ang may karapatang magalit. Pag naunahan ka na ng galit niya, tumahimik ka na lang muna.

#2 Walang taong nag-aaway mag-isa. Pag hindi kayo sumagot o pumatol, titigil din daw ang taong nakikipag- away sa inyo.

#3 Ang taong galit, 'bingi.' If someone is angry, wala raw pinakikinggan, so, don't try to explain and fight back. Hindi ka niya iintindihin dahil wala siyang naririnig kundi ang sarili nya.

#4 Ang taong galit, 'abnoy.' Ayon sa pastor, Biblical daw ito? because the Lord said when He was crucified, "Father, patawarin mo sila dahil hindi nila alam ang kanilang ginagawa." Modern term for these kinds of people are abnoys, so you better not get angry para huwag kang matawag na abnoy.

You should also know and realize that the persons who make your day bad are jewel, because you need them for you to mature. Hangga't andyan daw sila at kinaiinisan mo, ibig sabihin, immature ka pa. God will not take away those people; it's for you to take away your bad feelings towards them. You'll know na mature ka na pag dumating 'yung time na hindi ka na naiinis sa mga taong ito because you have learned to accept them and to have patience with them.

#5 Finally, the best part of this is to tell yourself na, because of this
person, "I will grow mature," and that...

DAHIL SA CONTRIBUTION NIYA SA MATURITY MO, KUKUNIN DIN SYA NI LORD.

Hope this help you a bit of making your day as positive as possible!

Have a great day ahead!!!
