bayani na santo pa.?

Maraming Pilipino ang tumatanaw ng utang na loob sa yumaong dating Pangulo Corazon C. Aquino. Iyon ay dahil sa siya ang tinaguriang Ina ng Demokrasya ng ating bansa, ang dahilan at ang nagbalik ng demokrasya at kalayaang meron tayo ngayon. At hindi natatapos ang isyu sa kanyang pagpanaw...

May mga nagpapanukala na gawing bayani si Cory. At sabi naman ni Ate Glo, ok lang sa kanya. Walang problema. Sang-ayon din siya na gawing bayani si Cory. Ewan kung totoo pero malamang napipilitan lang 'to sa pag-oo.... Pero ito ang mabigat.., medyo indi kineri ng utak ko nung sabihing gagawing Santo ang yumaong dating Pangulo.... teka muna... indi ba parang OA na.?

Walang problema kung gagawin siyang bayani. Siya ang nagpalaya satin sa kamay na bakal ng mga Marcos eh. Parang nung paglaya lang natin sa mga manyakis na Hapon. At kahit sinasabi ng mga pinagkakapitaganang mga kritiko ng Pilipinas na may mga karumal-dumal na krimeng ginawa si Cory nung siya ay pangulo ng bansa, that won't count. Ewan ko kung napatunayan yun pero, kung si Rizal nga na pambansang bayani eh akalain mong mas bagay tawagin na pambansang playboy. Ibig sabihin, kahit bayani may kabulastugan din... So ayun, ok lang na isama si Cory sa listahan ng mga bayani ng Pilipinas tulad ng nauna ng yumao niyang asawa na si Ninoy Aquino.

Pero... yung gawin siyang Santa, OA na yun. Ang pagkakaalam ko kasi, kapag ginawa kang Santo o Santa, wala kang kasalanang ginawa.... O kaya wala kang nilabag sa 10 utos ng Diyos. Eh ang kaso nga, ayon na rin sa mga takot tumanaw ng utang na loob, may mga krimen ding kinasangkutan si Cory noon. Bagay na nagsasabing indi siya qualified maging Santa.

Tama ng gawin siyang bayani... huwag ng gawing Santo. Ibang level na pag ganun. Kasi pag ginawa siyang Santo, ibig sabihin nun makikita na siya sa mga simbahan.? Ibig sabihin ba nun mananalangin na rin sa kanya ang mga Pilipinong nahihiyang humiling sa Anak at sa Ama kaya dumadaan muna sa mga santo?

Hindi talaga ko sang-ayon dun.... Naipakita na nating mga Pilipino kung paano tayo tumanaw ng utang na loob sa kanya.

Hindi na kailangang gawin siyang isang Santo....

Pwede siyang igawa ng monumento sa EDSA, sa eksaktong lugar kung saan naganap ang People Power 1 at kilalaning isa sa mga bayani ng ating bayan...

Ina ng Demokrasya

Mula ng ibalita na may sakit na colon cancer ang dating Pangulo, hindi tumigil ang suporta ng napakaraming Pilipino para sa kanyang paggaling. Ilang healing mass ba ang inialay para sa kanya.? Ilang panalangin kaya ang narinig ni Bro na nagsasabing nawa'y gumaling na ang unang babaeng Pangulo indi lang ng Pilipinas kundi ng buong Asya.? Pero sabi nga, kung oras mo, oras mo na...

Sa pagpanaw ni Cory, indi lang ang pamilya niya ang nagluksa at nawalan kundi ang mga Pilipino rin. Nakita natin kung gaano karami ang mga taong pumila para masilayan siya sa La Salle Greenhills at sa Manila Cathedral (na ang dulo ng pila ay sa Lawton mo na makikita). Nakita rin natin kung gaano karami ang mga Pinoy na sumama sa paghahatid sa kanya sa kanyang huling hantungan, karamihan ay kabataan. Mga taong indi alintana ang sungit ng panahon... ang importante sa kanila ay ang pagtanaw ng utang na loob sa taong kinikilala nilang nagbalik at naging daan upang magkaroon sila ng kalayaang ngayon ay kanilang tinatamasa.

Sinong tanga kaya ang indi nakakaalam ng makasaysayang EDSA People Power.?

Nung araw ng libing ni Cory, parang EDSA ulit... ang daming tao... kulay dilaw na damit, ribbon, confettis, atbp... mga nakataas ang kamay at naka Laban sign... EDSAng EDSA di ba.?

Siguro nga, may mga ginawa rin siyang hindi maganda nung nakaupo pa siya sa pwesto na indi alam ng nakararaming Pilipino... Totoo man o hindi, ewan ko... Napatunayan ba o bintang lang, malay ko...

Para sa akin, hindi mababago nito yung katotohan na siya ang muling nagpalaya sating mga Pilipino. Siya ang nagbalik ng demokrasya na tinatamasa natin ngayon. Siya ang nagbalik ng mga kayamanang ninakaw ng Marcos.

Alam man natin o hindi kung ano mang katiwalian ang ginawa niya noon, still, siya pa rin ang dahilan kung bakit tayo malaya ngayon....

Hindi nakamamatay ang pagtanaw ng utang na loob paminsan-minsan.

At lalong hindi nakamamatay ang pagsasabi ng SALAMAT.

Believe....

Aren't these some times
It's gotten bad and it's been
Pressin'on my mind
Got me feelin' sad
But i know you know
That we could do more but we just don't

Don't worry world I feel your pain
And it's a shame
My shoulders are hurt and stressed from the pain

And I know you know
That you could do more but you

And I still believe
That there is more love than hate
There's more heart than ache
And we are stuck in this great big world together

With a little bit of help from up above
And a sprinkling of love
We can break these chains
We will end these days

And I know you know
That you could do more but you

And I still believe
That there is a lot at stake
There's no time to wait
We can change the world if we try
Gonna change it forever

You should join us
You, let it be you

Who will join us
You, let it be you

And I still believe
That there is more love than hate
There's more heart than ache
And we are stuck in this great big world together

And I still believe
That there is a lot at stake
There's no time to wait
We can change the world if we try
Gonna change it forever

And I still believe
That there is more love than hate
There's more heart than ache
And we are stuck in this great big world together

And i still believe....

----------------------------------------------------
The first time we at The Alliance heard the song, we're all surprised.... hindi dahil sa ipinamalas na naman ng pinakamamahal kong Ronnie Winter ang malupit niyang talent sa pag-compose ng kanta.... Yep, it's so different from any of their songs lalo na sa DYFI album pero bukod sa nakakagulat na bagong style at mataas na tono, the major thing that surprised us all was the meaning and the message of the song.

Hindi ko na kailangan pang ipaliwanag bawat stanza... Maliwanag pa sa sikat ng araw kung anong mensahe ang gustong ipaabot nung kanta... Mas madali pa sa pagbibilang ng 1-2-3 para intindihin mo kung anung meaning ng bawat salitang bumubuo dito.

It's not that I am simply promoting the band or their album... Ang gusto ko, makarating sa lahat ng tao indi lang sa aming mga fans ng RJA yung mensahe ng kanta...

Para sa'kin... ganito yung mga dapat na naririnig ng lahat ng tao sa mundo, lalo na sa klase ng sitwasyon meron tayo...

LOVE + PEACE = HAPPINESS

Pink Heart

'Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle..'

A sharp tongue can cut your own throat.

If you want your dreams to come true, you mustn't oversleep.

Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.

The best vitamin for making friends..... B1.

The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.

The heaviest thing you can carry is a grudge.

One thing you can give and still keep...is your word.

You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself.

If you lack the courage to start, you have already finished.

One thing you can't recycle is wasted time.

Ideas won't work unless ' You' do.

Your mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open..

The 10 commandments are not a multiple choice.

The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime!

It is never too late to become what you might have been.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right.. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. God has a plan! If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it.. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we've let them fly away. Sometimes we are so caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we forget what's right and wrong. Sometimes we just don't realize what real friendship means until it is too late. I don't want to let that happen so I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you.

Health Issues 3 - 12 Most Powerful Foods

The 12 Most Powerful Super Foods
By Amy Paturel, M.S., M.P.H.


Why Are They So Super?Ask five nutritionists to rate the 12 most powerful foods and you'll get five different lists, but many of the selections will overlap. Why? Because every food provides something different: Some are a rich source of protein or fiber but void of many vitamins and minerals, while others contain disease-fighting phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals, but no protein. The trick, claim experts, is to get a variety of the best foods. The following 12 power foods are a good place to start.



Avocados
Sure they're high in fat, but avocados contain healthful monounsaturated fat, which has been linked to a reduced risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. 'Avocados aid in blood and tissue regeneration, stabilize blood sugar, and are excellent for heart disorders,' says Ed Bauman, Ph.D., director of Bauman College .. They're loaded with fiber (11 to 17 grams per fruit) and are a good source of lutein, an antioxidant linked to eye and skin health.


Apples
'An apple a day really does keep the doctor away,' says Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., author of The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth. Apples are loaded with the powerful antioxidants quercetin and catechin, which protect cells from damage - that means a reduced risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, especially if you eat the skin. Research shows that the apple peel contains five times more polyphenols than the flesh. Apples and their skins pack a lot of fiber too (about twice that of other common fruits, including peaches, grapes, and grapefruit), which may help fight the battle of the bulge.


Blueberries
Antiaging superstars, blueberries are loaded with antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which have been shown to improve vision and brain function. Studies show that eating blueberries slows impairments in motor coordination and memory that accompany aging. These little berries also reduce inflammation, which is inextricably linked with virtually every chronic disease from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, to diabetes and heart disease. Other studies show that blueberries have much greater anticancer activity than other fruits


Cabbage
In the vegetable world, the Brassica genus reigns supreme, and the cabbage is the most impressive of the lot.. Brassica vegetables (including broccoli, bok choy) contain compounds called indoles, which have been shown to reduce the risk of cancer dramatically.. 'Eating cabbage more than once a week cut men's colon cancer odds by 66 percent,' says Bauman. 'Cabbage also stimulates the immune system, kills bacteria and viruses, and is a good blood purifier.' If you go for the red variety, you'll also get a healthy dose of anthocyanins (the same pigment molecules that make blueberries blue), another powerful antioxidant with an anticancer punch.


Fish and Fish Oil
Eating fish helps cut the risk of heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, stroke, diabetes, and arthritis. The fatty varieties may also help alleviate depression. The American Heart Association recommends that adults eat at least two fish meals per week, especially wild salmon, herring, and sardines, because those varieties provide the most heart-healthy omega 3s. Avoid mercury-containing varieties like shark, swordfish, king mackerel, tilefish, and albacore tuna, says Roberta Anding, M.S., R.D., national spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. (Chunk light tuna is okay.)


Garlic
Research shows that garlic lowers total cholesterol and triglyceride (blood fat) levels, helping prevent clogged arteries. 'Two to three cloves a day cut the odds of subsequent heart attacks in half for heart disease patients,' says Bauman. 'Garlic also tops the National Cancer Institute's list of potential cancer-preventive foods.' Whole baked garlic helps detoxify the body of heavy metals like mercury (from fish) and cadmium. Garlic also acts as an antibacterial and antiviral, boosting resistance to stress-induced colds and infections. Can't stand garlic breath? Chew on a sprig of parsley.


Mushrooms
Used for centuries in Eastern medicine, mushrooms have powerful effects on the immune system – especially the maitake, shiitake, and reishi varieties. 'Mushrooms such as maitake help prevent and treat cancer, viral diseases, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure,' says Bauman. In fact, mushrooms are used as an adjunctive cancer treatment throughout Asia because of their ability to counteract the toxic effects of chemotherapy and radiation while simultaneously shrinking tumors. What's more, Japanese researchers have found that regularly eating shiitake mushrooms lowers blood cholesterol levels up to 45 percent.


Almonds
Almonds are loaded with fiber and monounsaturated fat, both of which have been shown to lower cholesterol. According to the Food and Drug Administration, eating 1.5 ounces of most nuts, including almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. And even though almonds are relatively high in fat and calories, studies show that eating almonds can actually help with weight loss (their protein, fiber, and monounsaturated fats provide the feeling of fullness, preventing overeating).


Eggs
The best protein source on the planet, eggs consistently outrank milk, beef, whey, and soy in the quality of protein they provide. In addition to containing all nine essential amino acids, eggs are loaded with nutrients. 'And for God's sake, eat the yolks,' says Bowden. People avoid the yolks because they fear cholesterol, but egg yolks contain choline, which helps protect heart and brain function and prevents cholesterol and fat from accumulating in the liver.


Flaxseeds
Loaded with alpha-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid that helps reduce inflammation, flaxseed has been used for centuries for medicinal and health reasons. Gandhi himself proclaimed, 'Wherever flaxseed becomes a regular food item among the people, there will be better health.' Bauman adds, 'The seed itself has terrific nutritional value, very usable protein, tremendous fatty acids, and minerals like magnesium, potassium, and zinc.' Additionally, they're a great source of fiber.


Pomegranates
Pomegranates have up to three times the antioxidants of red wine and green tea – and the juice has been shown to reduce artery-clogging plaque, which in turn prevents heart disease and stroke. Research shows that long-term consumption of pomegranate juice may also help slow aging and protect against cancer..


Dark Chocolate
When it comes to chocolate, bitter is better – at least in terms of health. The benefits of chocolate come from flavonols and antioxidants (the same disease-fighting chemicals found in cranberries, apples, strawberries, and red wine). The caveat: Only real cacao contains flavonols, so look for chocolate that boasts a high percentage of cacao (60 percent or more). Dark chocolate also has fewer calories than other varieties, and when eaten in moderation, it lowers unhealthy LDL cholesterol and prevents plaque from building up in your arteries.

Health Issues 2 - Regular Health Mistakes

Regular Health Mistakes

All of us make little health mistakes that cause damage to our bodies in the long run - simply because we are unaware we are doing something wrong. Here are some of the most common mistakes made by many of us.

1. Crossing our legs
Do you cross your legs at your knees when sitting? Although we may believe that this is the lady-like elegant way to sit, sitting this way cuts down circulation to your legs. If you don't want varicose veins to mar the beauty of your legs and compromise your health, uncross your legs every time you realize you have one knee on top of the other. The best way to sit is to simply place both legs together on the floor, balancing your weight equally. If you feel like changing position, instead of crossing your legs, simply move both legs together to one side. As an alternative, you could also consider crossing your legs loosely at the ankles. This is a classically elegant way to sit, and is far better for your legs and your health than sitting with your legs crossed at your knees.

2. Not changing our toothbrush
How often do you change your toothbrush? Most of us wait until most of the bristles have either fallen off, or are in such bad shape that we'd be embarrassed to pull out our brush in public. However, since not many of us need to pull out our brush in public, we carry on with our frayed one until we lose it. Replace your toothbrush often. Damaged bristles can harm the enamel, and don't massage your gums well. If you find brushing your teeth a pain like I do, but know you must do it, you might as well be doing it right. Imagine going through the annoyance of brushing your teeth twice a day only to find out that you're damaging your enamel every time you clean your teeth. Also, use a brush with soft bristles unless your dentist has advised otherwise.

3. Eating out often
There are oils that are high in cholesterol, and oils that cause little harm and are better for your heart. However, no matter how light the oil is, it is never a good idea to eat too much of it. Avoid fried foods. Remember that in all probability your favorite Indian food restaurant throws a huge, HUGE chunk of butter in a tiny bowl of dal. Rita, who worked in the kitchen of a 5-star hotel, was shocked when she saw the cook chop a 500gm butter slab in half, and throw half into a Paneer Makhani dish. No wonder the customers left licking their fingers. No wonder they felt so stuffed and heavy afterwards. Limit outdoor eating unless you know that you're getting erved light and healthy food.

4. Skipping breakfast
Never, ever skip breakfast. Remember, when you wake up in the morning it's been around 10-12 hours since your last meal. Your body needs food now, more than at any other time. Eat a heavy breakfast. You will then be busy through the day, and the calories will get expended quickly. If you are trying to diet, eat a light dinner. Here are some more common health mistakes we make. Being informed and making a few changes can help make us feel a whole lot better.

5. High heels
High heels sure great, but they're murderers for your back. This however doesn't mean you should steer clear of stilettos. Wear them, but not when you know you will be walking around a lot. Wear them when going out for lunch or dinner - when the only walking you will be doing is to your car, to the table, and back. Avoid high heels when you are going somewhere on foot. If you are constantly tempted to wear your heels, take a good look at your flats. Is there something about them you dislike? Invest in a new pair of beautiful flats or shoes with a low heel. Buy something you love, that you will enjoy wearing. If possible, get a matching bag. You will then enjoy your flats as much as you do your heels.

6. Sleeping on a soft bed
You don't have to sleep on the floor to be kind to your back, but do make sure you have a firm mattress. Although a mattress on springs is soft and lovely to sink into, it's bad for your back. If you already have an old bed with springs, you don't need to invest in a new one - simply get a thick wooden plank put over the springs, and place the mattress on the plank. Similarly, if your mattress is old and lumpy, throw it out and get a new one. Your neck and your back will thank you. The same rule applies to sofas. If you will be spending hours on a sofa, get a firm yet comfortable one. Sofas you completely sink into are not the best idea.

7. Pillows
No matter how comfortable sleeping with ten cushions is, have pity on your neck and resist.. Sleep with one pillow, and make sure it is not too thick. If your pillow gets lumpy, discard it and go for a new one. Get a thin pillow if you sleep on your stomach, and something a little thicker if you sleep on your back, to give your neck adequate support.

8. Not exercising
So all of us know we should exercise more, but many of us don't. This is a health mistake we consciously make! And why is that? Simply because we refuse to admit the damage we are causing to our bodies by not working out. A number of people only start working out once they've experienced a warning signal. Don't wait for a heart attack to strike before you decide to opt for a lifestyle change. Make the change now. You don't need to train for the marathon to be in top shape. Half an hour of brisk walking three to four times a week will make a world of difference to your health. You could then increase this to forty minutes, four times a week - and you're all set. If you haven't exercised for a week, you're making a mistake.

Message of the Day is:
Life is short. Make it healthy, sweet and meaningful. Forgive quickly. Love truly. Laugh often, and never regret anything that made you smile. Spread happiness

Health Issues 1 - Top Five Cancer Causing Foods

The top five cancer-causing foods are:

1. Hot dogs

Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.

2. Processed meats and bacon

Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.

3. Doughnuts

Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.

4. French fries

Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .

5. Chips, crackers, and cookies

All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

March 06, 2009, Friday, meron kaming monthly general meeting. I was supposed to write the minutes but, wala ako dun. The meeting starts at 1800H pero 1600H palang nag-OUT na ko. San ako nagpunta.? Sa Glorietta. Mamimili. Sosyal.? Hindi. Gagawin ko lang yun kasi yun ang paraan para makakuha ako ng Seat Stub sa upcoming mall show ng The RJA sa TriNoma Activity Center.

Hindi biro ang mechanics ng Ayala Malls ah. Imagine dapat mag-purchase ka ng at least Php 1,000.00 worth of receipt para maipalit mo sa Concierge at makakuha ka ng pinapangarap mong Seat Stub. At kung gusto mo naman na magakaroon ng meet-and-greet-the-band stub, dapat A-Card holder ka. Magkakaron ka ng nasabing stub kung makakapag-present ka sa kanila ng single or accumulated receipt within 6 months amounting to Php 10,000.00 na imposuble kong makamit. So, dun na lang tayo sa Seat Stub ulit... Siyempre, indi ka basta-basta lang mamimili. Meron silang mga designated levels kung saan ka pwedeng mamili para maipalit ng stub ang receipt. So ayun, nagawa ko naman. Namili ako ng stuff toy & pillows para sa pamangkin at kapatid ko. Tama, para sa kanila kasi ang habol ko lang naman ay yung resibo para sa pinapangarap ko ring Seat Stub. Pero hindi ako sa Glorietta namili, dun sa TriNoma. Masakit na paa ko kalalakad kaya nag-taxi ako mula ayala papuntang north, ang gastos..., nasakay pa ko sa bolerong taxi driver, ang malas...

Nakakapagod. Buti na lang kasama ko si special someone ko nun kaya ok lang maglakad ulit kahit masakit na paa ko, hehe. Tsaka naisip ko rin, kailangan kong maghirap para makamit ang aking pangarap...

07 March, Saturday, ang aga ko gumising. Mas maaga pa kesa yung papasok ako sa opisina. Yun kasi yung araw na ipapalit mo yung receipt mo para sa Seat Stub and the first 10 to claim the stub will also get a meet-and-greet pass. Maaga ko dumating sa TriNoma. 0900H andun na ko. 1000H ang open ng mall. Kagaya nung iba, andun na rin ako sa may entrance. Pagpatak ang alas-diyes, nagpapasok na yung Guard na masungit. ayun, potekz, siksikan, takbuhan papunta sa Concierge. Siyempre pati ako tumakbo. Kaso, indi ako umabot sa first 10 eh. Pero ok lang. Kasi may 1 pa kong chance para maka-face-to-face si Ronnie. The first 100 to buy the CD by Sunday will get a CD Signing Pass... :D

Heto na.... March 08, 2009, Sunday... ang aga ko ulit gumising. Kasama ko yung kapatid ko. Ang pobre, sarap ng tulog ginising ko na para lang makasigurong aabot ako dun sa first 100 CD. Sawing palad naman kung di aabot di ba... The show will start at 1800H, pero kagaya kahapon, sarado pa yung mall andun na kami. Tapos nung nagbukas, ayan... takbuhan na naman, part 2. At dahil nga sa hindi ako sawing palad, pang #11 ako sa bumili ng CD. Pasok na pasok sa 1st 100, yahooo.!! Makakaharap ko na si Ronnie Winter.!!

Maghapon kaming naghintay at 1300H palang nakapila na kami. Kaso, isang dagok na naman ang sumalubong samin ng kapatid ko at ni Flor (a friend from The Alliance). May dalawang klase ng stub pala, yung YELLOW stub which was given to us when we presented our receipts and the BLUE stub. Nu'n lang namin nalaman na may dalawang kulay pala ng stub. At ang pinakamasakit dito, yung Blue stub ang mauupo sa unahan at kaming Yellow ang sa hulihan. That's freakin' unfair.! Yung mga blue stub daw eh staff ng Ayala Malls and those who holds an A-Card... Pero anjan na yan eh, wala na kaming magagawa.., inisip na lang namin eh makikita namin ang RJA live. Natural indi kami nabigo. Before the start of the show, nag-praktis sila. The first one i saw was Jon... tapos isa-isa na silang lumabas. Sobrang excited na ko nun...

1800H, nagsimula na yung show. My goodness, indi ko napigilan ang sarili ko., i keep on screaming lalo na nung naririnig at nakikita ko na si Ronnie. They played You Better Pray, Face Down, Don't You Fake It, Justify, Your Guardian Angel, False Pretense, Damn Regret (my sis' fave), and The Grim Goodbye... i forgot the other two pero 10 songs yung kinanta nila... My sis was busy taking a vid of the show at ako naman ang bahala sa pictures. Grabe, it was one hell of a show. Awesome. Matt, a new member who plays the spot for Elias who left the band after recording their second album was a badass on guitars... The show lasted for an hour. Mejo bitin pero ok na ok na rin.

Ang swerte nung mga naka-meet-and-greet... Na-hug & na-kiss nila sila Ronnie (by the way, ang gwapo ni Joey sa personal, hihi) tapos may pictures pa with them. Kainggit. Kaso minamadali sila. Lanya, sangkaterba ba naman eh indi mamadaliin. Lahat ng A-Card holder automatic may meet-and-greet, kaya ang dami.

CD Signing, KAMI na.! yehey.! hindi ko na ikkwento yung mga nakawala "raw" ng stub nila. dun na tayo agad sa kaharap ko na sila...!! OMG.! Ang bait nila, parang tropa lang. Lanya. Shake hands with them. They introduce themselves and super introduce din ako ng sarili ko sa kanila. Pagdating kay Ronnie, halos mabaliw na ko. Shake hands din, i don't wanna let go of his hand that time, gusto ko ng iuwi. Tapos nung pinipirmahan na niya yung cd ko, sabi ko: "i'll be uploading your pics at my Alliance Page tomorrow.." Tapos sabi niya, "Oh that's great.! I have a lot of pics here too in the Philippines. Send me the pics, ok." "sure.!" ----- At dahil sa hassle ang mga staff ng TriNoma na halos ipagtulakan na agad kaming mga fans sa pagbaba, duon na natapos ang usapan namin ng lalakeng pinapangarap ko... (naks)

Nung pababa na ko ng stage, sabi ko sa sarili ko, "i can die now." haha.!

makapag-blog na nga...

Sa totoo lang pangalawang account ko na 'to eh. Yung una ang tagal ko ng nagawa kaso dahil nga sa tamad ako magsulat at wala rin naman na akong oras kaya ayun, naburo at kinalimutan ko na lang yung blog account na yun.

Pero kanina, habang nasa jeep ako papasok ng office napag-isip-isip ko na dapat meron din akong blog... sa dami ba naman ng mga nararanasan at nangyayari sakin sa araw-araw, siguradong may entry ako lagi, wag lang tatamarin.

Bibigyan ko kayo ng konting info tungkol sa ugali ko... ang pinaka-famous kong ugali since birth ay ang pagiging mataray. Sabi nilang lahat (oo, nilang lahat), sa unang tingin palang daw alam na agad na mataray at suplada ako. Hindi na ko kumokontra, aminado ako. Bukod pa sa may bonus na mabilis uminit ang ulo, mataray talaga ako. Kaya naman ang super mapag-alaga kong ina ay hindi nakakalimot paalalahanan ako lagi na bawasan ko ang katarayan ko lalo na pag nasa mga pampublikong lugar para makaiwas sa away at sa kulam (oo ulit, kulam. naniniwala kami dun).

Iba-ibang uri ng tao ang mga nakakasalamuha at nakikita ko. May mga nakakatuwa pero kadalasan nakakayamot. Pero dahil nga sa takot ako sa kulam (indi sa away), talaga namang lubos ang pagpupursigi ko na wag magtaray. Kaso ang ending, ganun pa rin. Katarayan.

Nung isang araw pauwi kami ng kapatid ko. Bumabagyo kaya nag-MRT-LRT kami. Matapos ang 48 years na pag-iintay, dumating na rin sa wakas ang train ng MRT. Puno, tapos ang dami naming nag-iintay. Napansin ko yung kapatid ko ginigitgit nung isang babae, nakikipag-unahan ang bruha. So sabi ni kapatid, "sige mauna ka na..". Himbis na magpasalamat talagang nanguna nga siya at ang masakit pa sa paa nito eh natapakan niya yung kapatid ko na nasa likuran niya. Lumingon lang ang gaga pero indi nag-sorry. Napikon ako, sabi ko sa kapatid ko "sabihin mo sa kanya sorry natapakan ka.!!" (with exclamation point kasi nilakasan ko talaga boses ko). Aba, at nag-react ang bruha, isang kahanga-hangang speech: "tinutulak kasi nila ko eh, nag-sorry na ko kanina..!" what the.?? nahayblad ako... binigyan ko rin siya ng isang matinding speech: "kanina yun, ngayon mo lang siya natapakan.!!" at isang malutong na, "STUPID.!"
Yung mga pasahero nakatingin lahat sakin... ang bruha nasa tren na humabol pa ng tingin, irapan ko nga.... si kapatid indi ako inawat, mukang natuwa pa yata sa pagtatanggol ko sa naapi niyang daliri sa paa..
