The Spirit

I've been browsing the net for karatedo pictures of the Philippine team when I saw familiar faces of Joy Ruiz and Alma Cabasal.  I even saw in one of the captions that Alma is the next Gretchen Malalad…

I've been so proud of these people who I have known because of Gretchen in her PBB Celebrity stint.. most of them became my co-forumers and eventually have exchanged texts as well.

Renee Granadino is among the sidekicks and karatekas who join in several karate tournaments. 

I've always love watching karatedo… taekwando… and any forms of martial arts… and it relaxes me though to see just how a kick was thrown to the opponent…

That's when I started to look after the Filipino karateka… that's where I saw Gege… fighting so hard.. victory didn't came as easy as it used to be but I saw in Gege… a winner!  The fist… the fighting spirit… the stand of a Karateka that will fight hard and take whatever it is to win…  

Thanks to Andrew Villasis for this photo.  I just loved this…  This was taken after Gege won the first gold in the 23rd SEA Games…

The Heart of a Champion cannot just be easily ignored… it's admired… 

I remembered some forumers who once asked me… among the many housemates in PBB whom I've actively supported, who among them is really my idol…

I told them… the level of support and admiration is different to some greater extent… and in the case of Gretchen… I'm too vocal in saying that if ever Nene, Beatriz or Gretchen were in the same season of PBB, surely my attention is after the athlete I've known prior to this reality show… someone I used to watch… 

God Bless to the next batch of great karatekas…. Alma, Joy and Renee…. Gege's Sidekicks!

Kudos to all of you!!! <Bow!> 

Pasalubong

Antagal ko na rin palang nagdodorm…. nung isang araw.. narinig ko… may isang nanay ng kadorm-mate ko na dumalaw mula pa sa malayong probinsya.

Napangiti na lang ako.  College palang kasi ako, pag may dumadalaw na magulang sa boarding house, isa agad ang nasa isip ko.  May pasalubong na pagkain ito at swerteng busog na naman ako!

Hmm… tama nga ako!  May dalang sangkaterbang santol na malalaki… at siyempre dahil halos pader lang ang pagitan, isa ako sa naambunan ng grasya!

Madaling mahirap magdorm.  Para kang nag-abroad na nakakahomesick at sa maliit na paraan kailangan mong matutunan maging independent, magbudget ng maliit na allowance at magtiis kumain ng mga ulam na hindi mo naman nakagawiang kainin.

Pero alam mo… mas mahirap makisama sa mga taong mejo kakaiba.

Lately, hindi ako masyadong makaalis ng dorm… dahil sa nakawan na nagaganap sa dorm.  Hassle ung lagi kaming nakalock ang pinto… kung nakakamatay lang ang tingin ko sa suspect.. marahil ay duguan na un…   Masarap magdorm…. pag alam mong tiwala ka sa mga kasama mo at safe ka sa munting tulugan na tinutulugan mo…

Pero pag hindi… daig mo pa ang paranoid! 

Mahabang Kilig ;-)

Last Tuesday, my brother requested me to meet our long-lost Kuya in Makati to get something I was hardly informed about the details.

Since, Makati is in the area of my target job hunt… I shrugged my shoulders… “Okay!”

Deep inside, I was soooooo excited to meet my Kuya E.

Okay… tagalugin na natin para mas exciting ang kwentuhan…

Sikretong malupit… Kuya E is my elementary crush pa… I used to join him in biking and in jogging to Tagaytay… kahit kalyuhin at sumakit ang binti ko sa kakatakbo… Go pa rin!!!  Mabibilang lang kasi talaga sa daliri ko ang taong pinakilig ako ng matindi hehehehe at si Kuya E ay marahil isa sa mga sumunod kay Raymond Lauchengco sa pagpapakilig na ito hahahahaha

mabait, disente, prim and proper, bright <very bright>…  Hopefully, he won’t read this or else… lulubog ako sa pinakamalapit na manhole sa sobrang hiya… Mejo weakness ko talaga ung mejo “disenteng kumilos”…  There was a time that I saw him in my previous company… he was having a meeting then with my boss… and it so happened that I passed by the room and he was exiting….

Bump!  Literally speaking, yung butterflies in the stomach… dios ko… nagacrobat pa inaki sa tyan ko sa sobrang ewan ko ba… hindi ko alam kung nangitim ako sa sobrang blush o hindi kinaya ng heartbeat ko ang pagkabigla kasabay ng pagkakilig…

<Gosh! Alam mo ung gusto mong sumigaw to the max ng walang sound tapos I have to maintain my being composed and not-so-obvious Huwaw!  Gosh… para akong bullet na ipinutok hahahaha> 

After long long years, I’ll be meeting him again… sakit ng paa ko sa heels…at ambigat ng talukap ng mata ko sa makeup at mascara… hahahaha tska mejo gurly gurly look ako…

I was in front of PBCom Tower when someone called… <Oh My GoD!!!!! Muntik na ako mahulog sa underground escalator>

Kuya E was calling…  pagkasabi pa lang ng “Kumusta ka na?!”  Shocks… panic to death ang lola mo… nalunok ko yata ng buo ung half ng donut na kinakain ko habang naglalakad.. hahahaha  Tapos nung nagkita na kami… he was asking me if I've gotten a new job na… lagi daw pag nagkikita kami ay nag-apply ako ng trabaho… Dati kasi inaalok na nya akong magwork sa company nila… pero hindi kaya ng atay at balun-balunan ko….. hindi ko ma-imagine na halos everyday eh hindi naman normal ang kilig ko hahahahaha

Nawala talaga ang yabang sa katawan ko… at tagalog na lang ay nabubulol pa ako…. Para akong bulate na natapunan ng tubig sa C.R.  

At sa sobrang hindi ko maexplain na saya… tapos na pala ung conversation namin… nakangiti pa ako hehehehe tapos ung pag-babye… ay ang hirap sabihin…  hehehehe  so babalik na naman ako sa dati kong mundo … by the way… Kuya E is already married kaya mabuti pa ay idaan ko na lang sa mahabang kilig at matamis na ngiti ang encounter na ito… Yiheeeee!!!!
