Wheel of Fortune naman

May kung ano sa Monday na ito na hindi ko mawari kung ano.  Maraming seryoso sa deadline, may nagsisigawan sa daga, may maiingay sa gitna ng kwarto… samantalang ako, pasayaw-sayaw sa upuan ko habang suot-suot ang earphones at pakanta-kanta sa "Akin ka na Lang ng Itchyworms".  Kaninang umaga ko pa napapansin na parang mejo kakaiba nga yata ako sa mga nakikita ko.  Madami din akong gagawin, pero hindi ko alam kung bakit ang "gaan gaan ng 8:00am ko".

Maganda marahil ang nangyari sa akin ng weekend.  Puyat man ako pero talagang ung negative thoughts, nairelease ko.  Laking pasasalamat ko sa mga taong nakasama ko at sa mga alak na nalaklak ko ng araw at gabing iyon.

Hmm… makasali nga sa Wheel of Fortune hehehe

To Win

Last Sunday morning, I was confiding to a friend.  We were so serious at trying out flag football on Saturday.  I remembered telling her… "Alam mo, Meds… noong bata ako.. ke babae kong tao pero anlikot ko sa field.  Panalo lagi ang team ko pag hagaran-suguran.  Anlikot ko grabe… May isang partner ako.. si Toti.. na para kaming kiti-kiti.  At kaya gusto kong sumali ng flag football, gusto kong makita ko ulit ang sarili ko sa lugar na halos "bahay" na sa akin… ang laruan.  Idol ko nga dati si Jaworski sa pambabalya na parang wala lang hehehe.  At kaya ako napagkakamalang lalaki eh dahil pag nasa ganoong sitwasyon, kilos lalaki talaga ako.  Hindi kailangan ang kilos babae sa ganong pagkakataon diba?  Hindi ako marunong maglaro ng flag football, pero lalaro ako.  Kelangan kong gawin para sa sarili ko."

"I don’t know why I’m having a strange feeling that I need to win lately.  I need to compete.  I need to compete and win. And if I won’t be scared of trying it now, I know I would win.  If there’s one perfect time for that, I feel I should not miss competing now.  It’s all or nothing."

It came out of my lips so unexpectedly.  A spur of the moment, I should say.  But the feeling still resides.  It’s still within me.  And it’s moving me.  I don’t know why.

Prize is secondary.  But what would make it a lot worthwhile is to have the courage to compete.  This is what I need.  I don’t know if it’s into sports or into music… but in any way I can, I should do it.

The passion is driving me to win… help me God!

Send it to yourself

If you’re hooked into e-mail, you’d probably be familiar with forwarded messages having this “send it back to me” on the subject or at the end of the line.

Grr!  It’s something that pissed me off instantly.  Why the hell you send it to me then you’ll expect me to send it back to you? First and foremost, what’s the cause of sending it?  You’re disturbing me!!!

Honestly, it’s something that irritates me a lot.  Even it comes from a friend, I hardly read it.  I treat it as SPAM. 

Having it restated in another way… “Here’s a piece of chocolate.  Bite it.  If you’re through, give it back to me and I’ll take a bite of it!”    Why not bite it first?

To those who invent this, send yourself to the big manhole.

chi-miki-maws

Gusto ko na ngang maniwalang pambihira minsan ang pagkawala ko sa mundong earth.  Nagulat na lang ako na maingay sa office kani-kanina lang morning.  Agad kong binago ang status msg ko at gladly, may nagreact agad.  Si Trina.  Isang dipa lang ang layo sa akin ng pinangyarihan ng krimen.

Hala!  Dahil pala daw sa malaking daga na nagpagala-gala sa lugar ng aming mga big bossing kaya nagkagulo hehehe.  At panalo!  Nananalangin silang mahuli ang malaking mickey mouse sa pamamagitan ng Fly Trap!  Kamusta naman yun.. langgam lang mahuhuli ninyo mga totoy!  At ang kaso, hindi pa nahuhuli ang salarin.  Sa kasalukuyan ay roving pa rin ang dagang ito.

Hahahaha

At ang nakakatawa, super delayed na pala ang reaction ko… super kakaiba.  nagreact ako sa mga after shock at ni hindi man lang ako nagulantang sa mas malaking ingay kani-kanina lang.

Asan ba ako ?  Hinahanap na kaya ako ni Mickey Mouse?

Pringles Fun

Last Saturday afternoon, just before I went to Kyusee, I was able to finish my piece for Pringles U Pop songwriting contest.  One of the few moments that I enjoyed a very casual lyrics-writing and song conceptualization and glad that my moods made it too easy for me to complete it.

Thanks to my Mongol pencil and a crampled scratch paper and a few tap on the table inside the CR and gotcha!  One Pringles Fun is born! Thanks Meds for the comments, I’ll have it deleted!

Only two weeks left to do all of these. I am courting my officemates to sing it for me…  I’ll post it here as soon as it’s finished. 

Pop!  For more information on how to join this contest, visit www.pringlesupop.com!

Cheers!

Whatta fun!

It was good to see my very bestfriend Besku again after long months that we have relied so much on ym and email and not seeing each other.  Whatta good way to really start talking is to have full meals in front hahahaha.

Besku is my “Ate Ate” eversince.  One whose patience extends a hundredfold to accommodate her lil sis in me hehehe.  It takes a lot of guts, isn’t it? Hahaha

Then came 2 rounds of pa-morningan moments with two different groups last weekend.  All to de-stress and unwind.  What’s the best way to discuss problems at work… is to have your officemates in one Jose Cuervo bonding.  Few shots of it made me pour out my long kept sentiments hahahaha

Panalo si Cuervo!  Napaiyak ako! 

But it was all worth it.  It made me breathe well. 

Then came Coors Light session with Meds a day after in Kyusee.  A very light yet engaging conversation took us 7 hours at most hehehe.  Meds has become one of my newest ka-bonding… whew!  Goodluck sa Flag Football ha?

Well it’s the pouring out that made my heart lighter.  I needed that so much for I’ve been having difficulty expressing it out.

Cheers to Cuervo and Coors!!!

And later, Isaw bonding with Bigfoot and Sassy Girl!!! Weeh!

Big Birthday Party

I joined some friends in a surprise and intimate birthday party for Panky last Saturday night.  It was fun!  I enjoyed eating a lot hehehe.  Grabeh!  It was my first time really to bond with them and great to see Panky back!

It’s fun to remember just how this Big Performer glued me to my seat when I heard her performed onstage.  She is incredibly great and her talent and power as rockista is twice her built.   Always been misunderstood by people who hardly know her.  Tsk Tsk Tsk…

And in her comeback, another proof to claim that "Nobody can put a good rakista down!"

Good to see you back Panky!  More

Baby Pics

I was browsing the pages of Pampers looking for a baby profile when I saw a baby name.. "Mig Seven Nepomuceno" exactly on the 17th page.  I waited a couple of minutes to check the picture but sad to say, it was blank. 

I was laughing silently because I was in a public internet cafe.  I was asking myself …
"Is this my son? Have I been recently baptized as Immaculate? Hahaha". 

Then, I continue browsing, on the 18th page… I saw the last name "Estrada"… "Is this his son? hahahaha"

I was really laughing out loud… whatta coincidence!!! On the 19th page… there I saw the pic of Baby Mig Seven.. hehehehe ching-kit din ah.. 

Is these our son? Weh!

The Scars

Sometimes you have to fall from the mountain to realize what you are climbing for.  Obstacles are placed in our way to see if what we want is really worth fighting for.  From every wound there's a scar, and every scar tells a story.  A story that says, "I've been through it all, and I made it."

Have you ever wondered why there are people who are so afraid to sing, play and perform in front?  Or they seemed to be not interested at all with what people are achieving? 

I hope this blog would make sense… coming from someone who had actually been there.  The biggest mistake I made in my life is throwing every dream I have in the air until someone or something will bring me back the passion and the drive to fulfill it.  I have developed an attitude that has gotten tired of sharing what I love doing and proving to my parents what I can do.  I am disoriented that I had the power to entertain other people with my known gifts and yet, the world didn't allow me then to pursue it. 

That's why it's a big waste to still try it out knowing that nothing's gonna happen after fighting for it. 

I rest that case already.  I'm out to do what I want.  I'll soon be popping out in these two fields… Trying my luck again in the coming PYP songwriting contest and in two sports that I'll be engaging myself with… Muay Thai and Flag Football hehehe.  This is the start… Mmmbop!  Whatta nice life!  Race for your dreams!!!

World Alienation

Have you noticed there are a lot of world signs of "alienation"?

Visit the bookstore, you'll find a wide range of books on "Finding purpose", "In Pursuit of Happiness", "Achieving Inner Victory", etc.  In Music stores, a wide range of "Meditative Songs" from local and foreign artists.  In personal development seminars, they are now branching into a more soulful talks.

In theatrical plays, topics range from Knowing Thy Self, Appreciating Life, People and Events, Near-death experiences, etc.

Life is fast-changing and fast-paced that it tend to ignore what our life really needs… appreciation of simple things and simple blessings and simple being.

Everytime I see signs of world alienation, I can't help but be sad.  That I belong to this generation that "simple appreciation and inner purpose identification" are being relied on books, wisdom of others, alternative meditative music and yoga.

I may be physically fit but I know this world makes my inner soul deteriorates.

Just when I have time to do whatever it is that fulfills the needs and longings of my soul, I grab it.  You may find it "weird" but for me, it's everything.

I see every single detail with purpose. This generation is a continued battle.  You win not by getting material gains but more importantly, by surviving in this era that you remain complete, morals are still intact and faith in God has never been shaken.

In the end, the true measure of how worth it you have lived your life, is that unshakeable faith and immeasurable love.
