Hello Sunshine!

I saw one beautiful sunrise a few weeks ago.  Sooo beautiful that it made me appreciate the beauty of nature more than I could possibly imagine…

I went back and forth to get a good view of how the sun smiles at the world and how the moon on the opposite side bids farewell to the sun.

Rowell keeps on telling me… "The Sun always Shines!  Even on the other side the moon bids goodbye".

The moment I saw the two in one perfect site… I remembered Rowell…. and how he cast his jokes…

Antanga mo naman Sheggz… Hindi mo alam na opposite directions yan… sabay lumulubog ang buwan at sumisikat ang araw….  Ung isa "Bulaga" yung isa naman "Babu"

But seeing it brought me more than just the sunrise and the sunset….

Rowell keeps on reminding me not to make life short because life is soo beautiful to just leave at that… unnoticed.

Rowell, antanga mo din.  Ako nakikita ko pa ito… eh ikaw… Lapit na ng death anniversary mo…. Isang taon na pala yun!  Ungas ka!

Oh my God

I dunno what I fear most about dancing but in my younger years, I used to be part of the dance troupe at school…

Even if I'm out of tune… I'd rather sing than dance.  I dance only when I'm in front of the mirror and the door is tightly closed.  The only one who could see me at my weirdest moves… is MYSELF.  Sometimes, my Lolo… hehehe

Whatta curse!

I need to learn how to dance…. "Waters of March" by Agot Isidro in a couple of weeks… yes!  The so-feminine-moves of Bossa Nova background… Shaggidy Shaggidy Shapopo talaga.

Oh my God… sa tigas ng katawan ko tapos I will dance like that…

Pinagpapawisan ako habang iniisip ito at halos hindi ako makatulog sa kaba.  Hehehehe  At times like this… gusto ko sana lalaki na lang ako… Hahahahahaha

I'll be paired with somebody who is good-looking… tapos syu-syunga-syunga ang pareho kong kaliwang paa… 

I asked my friend, Mojack, to show me "only the basic steps"… muntik na akong magcollapse…

Ang arte puteks! Hindi ko carry maging sooooooooooo pa-girl…  with matching papitik-pitik ng kamay and mega-emote… oh my God talaga!

Sana hindi ako magkanervous breakdown…

Wish me luck and miracle!

Fort Santiago

Just recently, a friend asked me… "Nakapunta ka na ba sa Fort Santiago, Sheggz?"

Cause once I asked her where Fort Santiago is…

I remembered, I went there with my Besku… but I am not quite sure if that's really Fort Santiago. Cause I just reached the entrance.

I still would want to go there… but I dunno why.  I dunno what's in it that I want to see..

Then I saw Yami's pictures… she went to Fort Santiago pala…

Punta nga tayo minsan….

What Feechors mean ;-)

I was browsing some of my friends' pictures in Friendster, when I saw these…

At the time I was in high school, I remembered calling the lady in white, as Miss Luvie. I can't remember what year she was assigned to handle…. she's our guidance counselor.

I get used to getting close with the counselors because at some point, I considered myself "a problem child though not really obvious"…. hehehe 

Most of my closest friends in high school are the counselors… Mdme Rodil, Miss Cantoria and Miss Luvie.  But Luvie and I became really good friends.  I told her once…

Alam mo… nung una kitang makita… andaming panlalait ang ginawa ko sa yo… hehehe

Dios ko… para kang Maria Clara sa suot mong purple dress…  pero in fairness… ikaw lang maganda sa IJA before….

and she will always answer…

Siyempre.. maganda ako eh.  At least hindi ako baduy! 

Hindi nga halatang madaldal ka…. I said to her..

Hahahahahaha

My God… we've been friends for more than a decade now.. but we haven't got any pictures together…. and this is the only time I realized that.  I've been asking about her wedding picture but until now I haven't got any.

When others thought that she is shy and timid… I stare closely at her and see no signs of that.  The one who's really "ratatat" and "walang space" when sharing her kwentos… about her… LABS.. hehehe…. the tantrums….

I could still remember our "goto" moments in Harrizon Plaza at the time she was doing her thesis at PNU.  Who in the world will recognize that "I am just one of her students" before… and look at how far the friendship goes….

And who can forget the time na nagdrama ako….

I rushed to her house one afternoon… and confronted her….

Sheggz:  Ang limit nating magkwentuhan… hindi mo man lang sinabi sa akin na ikakasal ka na?

Luvie:  Ha?  Kelan?  Kanino?  Kay Pards?

Sheggz:  Oo.. narinig ko sa PNB.  (at that time I was an OJT in PNB Silang)  Mamamanhikan na raw sina Pards dito… hindi mo alam?

Luvie: Hahahahaha ay hindi ko alam.. Buti ka pa alam mo….

The rest is history.  But I'm always grateful that I have one "great counselor" in her… a friend, indeed!

Sa kanya ko nga una ipinakilala si…. remember?

I missed seeing my friend Luvie…..  Magpapicture nga tayo! Kainis ka!

PaKtext ka na…. before it's too late.. hehehehe

Type : SHEGGZ ON and send to me…. hehehehe

Si Maganda

I took a lil break from posting to give way for a more relaxing way of enjoying life.

I got a text from my mother.

Twanan kmi d2 khpon s txt mo buti nman at naipage k n mganda k.
Muzta ka na?

The story behind? 

I inserted the MRT Card and left.  I got my phone and started texting.  I wasn't rushing at all.  I was walking slowly till I get to the "Ladies Area".  I looked for my MRT Card in my bag and in my pocket… and I can't find it.

Then I remembered, I left it at the entrance.

So I took my way back to get the card.  Curious at why people were smiling at me… I smiled back.  

Bakit kaya nakangiti sila? Did they know how great my smile is?

I was midway to the entrance when I heard somebody telling…

Ay Miss, ikaw pala si Maganda.  Kanina ka pa hinahanap?

Nino?

Then I heard… this….

Sa isang magandang dalaga na nakasuot ng dilaw… Miss, naiwan mo ang MRT Card, pakikuha lang po sa official sa Booth…

Oh my God!  I felt like I was about to sink in or fire up like a bullet! 

But I remained walking slowly and maintained my composure… as if I'm the defending beauty queen…. taking my last walk before giving the title to the newly-crowned.  Instead of waving at them, I just simply nodded at everyone who smiled at me… In my mind was a constant debate…

Napakatanga mo talaga Sheggz.  Imagine… sangkaterba ang nasa MRT… sa magkabilang panig neto.  Ipinangalandakang MAGANDA ka…

Weno ngayon… at least alam nilang MAGANDA ka talaga… whehehe

Imagine… I was paged several times cause I didn't hear it… and behind the smiles of these people are a question of "so…. she's Miss Maganda….", "ay Maganda nga…", "ay… hindi naman pala…", "ay ang syunga-syunga naman neto…"…

Blah Blah Blah!

Wag na pong mag-alala, nagkita na kami ni Miss Maganda.

When I reached the booth…. the Man in Uniform, raised the Card and walked towards me… "slow motion"….. this was I guess one of the longest seconds in my life… hehehehehe

He gave me the card…

MRT Man:  Kanina pa kita tinatawag pero mukhang may sarili kang mundo.  Kanina ka pa nakangiti eh.

Sheggz:  Nalaman pa tuloy ng madaming tao na maganda ako.  Humble pa naman ako.

MRT Man:  Hahahahahaha Totoo naman ah!

Sheggz:  Ay cia… may taping pa ako.  Babay na.  Salamat ulit!

I smiled again and walked till I get to the lane.  Still staring at me… and smiling….

Until I reached MRT-Taft Station, I was wearing that SMILE.  Imagine!

Mahirap palang maging celebrity. Hihihihihi
