Jay-jay' s Party
Jay-jay turned one last Wednesday.. ka-birthday nya ang mom nya at yung officemate ko si Jona, but kanina lang ang celebration.. sa Shakey's West Triangle.
I haven't attended children's party for years... ang alam ko kasi bata ang sinasamahan sa children's party... whehehe andun ako dahil sinama ko ng guy friend ko. Inaanak nya kasi si Jay-Jay. Hehe at least sumama ako.. ininvite nya kasi ako dating sumama sa kasal ng parents ni Jay-Jay but I wasn't able to go... tapos nung binyag ni Jay-Jay ininvite ulit ako di pa rin ako pumwede.
I met Luis at the party.. actually sinindo nila ko from MRT North Avenue station papuntang Shakey's West. Sheesh.. ang kulit... sobrang mabiro... kung ano-ano ang tinatanong... na-sha-shy tuloy ako. Buti na lang at di kami magkatabi dahil malamang sobra akong kukulitin pa nun. hehe I was spared!
Nandun din si Tita Beck, Tito Ogie and Kraus. Hay... hyperactive talaga si Kraus! Pero mukhang behave pa sya kanina. Sa sobrang kulit nya.. gusto nyang kunin yung souveir ko kahit na meron na sya! Ayun.. binigay ko na lang yung puzzle that goes along with the CD.. buti pumayag.
Yung father ni Jay-Jay, si James hehe sobrang proud sa anak nya... ang cute naman kasi nung celebrant eh! This is only the 2nd tme I met James... he nice at mejo niloloko-loko na rin ako.
Meron ding games.. kaso bat kasi pati matatatanda may game pa.. ayun pati tuloy ako napasali sa game. Whehe it was between boys and girls... syempre natalo ang boys. The winners.. the girls team (kami yun!) had a gift prize (loot bag na may crayon, pad and pencil) tapos yung boys may naparusahan na nag-otso-otso sila.... whehehe ^-^
Yung regalo pala nung friend ko, montage ni Jay-Jay. He gave it earlier kaya nung party, naka-display na yung montage na naka-frame. Hehe sobrang nakakatuwa yung mga guest na fascinated dun sa montage. And seeing the reactions syempre tuwa naman yung friend ko sa gawa nya (di nya lang pinapahalata).
My friend accompanied me up to MRT Pasay Station. Tapos diretso na rin ako uwi. ^-^
***************************************
hahaha analala ko lang... ako may inaanak na Joy-Joy ang pangalan.... JM= Jay-Jay tapos MJ=Joy-Joy naman yung inaanak ko....

Lousy Day brought by the Lousy Weather
Dapat sana manonood kami ng stepford's wives today kaso because of the bad weather we dismissed the idea.
From project 2 hehe diretso kami ng sis ko to SM Bacoor... tapos natutuwa ako kasi I got 2 blouses for P300 ^-^ naka-sale kasi yung isang shop - MINT. Long sleeves sila na chinese collar.. one is pink na stripes and the other is blue. yun lang natutuwa lang ako dahil mura ko lang sya nabili....
kakauwi lang namin ng sis ko.. dinner time...
With Katie and Tita Luz : part 2
Hehehe we had the ultimate buffet there... the thought of being offered so much foods is exciting... it's like I have the chance to get back more than what was paid for. But I don't know why I haven't enjoyed the food much. Well maybe because I tried to have a little of most of the foods that I wasn't able to appreciate it well.
After lunch Tita Luz, Katie , my sister and I went to shop. We had only been strolling for about 30 mins when we came by the FAMILY FIRST booth. Then our time was consumed by that presentation they had. From the 30-45 minutes that was promised.. they have taken almost 2hours of our time. And worse is that we habe to wait at their lounge while they do the presentation with Tita Luz... Katie was really annoyed. Also annoying was the guy who approached Katie asking for her name and stuffs. Whehehe I never took my eyes off that guy.. not because of his looks (he's not that good-looking though) but beacuse he's talking to my younger cousin. Katie was smart not to give her number to that guy... well almost everyone there notices Katie... well she is really pretty.. blonde hair, pointed nose and pretty eyes... she's such a catch for a sixteen years old. After Katie, this guy started talking to me... hahaha as always I didn't give a good welcome to the conversation. When the guy left, Katie told us that she's terrified with the guy. Hehehe maybe she has never experienced that in UK.
After the FAMILY FIRST thing, we went for some more shopping for Katie and then we chilled out at Starbucks before going home. There I was able to chat with Tita Luz. Hehe though we initially planned to go to the movies that afternoon... the FAMILY FIRST encounter was exhausting!
At 8:30pm, we took a cab and headed to project 2, where we will all sleep. At project 2, I stayed with Katie in their room to chat with her.
I'm going to sleep now... the rain is already falling hard... good night!
moral of the story :: wag na wag magpapabola sa FAMILY FIST at mga kagaya nito.... well wala naman fraud sa ginawa nila pero nakakainis na uubusin nila ang oras mo!

UPdates :: Some Stuffs
- Jun and I met at Jollibee - Zapote at around 1:15pm. We had an hour of travel to SM Southmall. We stayed at the mall until 4:30pm.
- We arrived at Karen's house at 5pm. We had nice chat there.
- At 6:30pm we were at Festival Mall. Although they initially planned to catch Spiderman 2 at 7:30pm, they decided to stay with me for dinner at Don Henrico's.
- After the dinner they took me to my place.. that was around 10pm, then they sped off because Karen has to go to work.
********
A guy friend came to our house yesterday. He gave me a pack of Hershey's Bites! hehe I miss the days na binibigyan ako ng chocolates eh... hmm the last time he gave me sweets was during my last days in UP. Hmm yun yung almost tapos na ang classes at naghihintay na lang ng results. He gave me a pack of pastillas de leche from Goldilocks. Uy, naalala ko rin yung pack ng Hershey's Kisses he given to me nung sinundo ako from work sometime nung April 2003 ( I think I still keep the plastic pack pa nga eh). Yun lang...
********
I met with Leon, Cel and Mike sa Greenbelt kagabi. That my first time na nagpunta dun **sheesh...kakahiya yata yun ah**. Well, wala naman bago... we had dinner sa Crocidile Grill tapos nag-ikot kami tapos nag-upo-upo dun sa bench na malapit sa Seattle's Best tapos nag-coffee sa Starbucks.. somewhere sa Ayala... (di kasi kami sa Greeenbelt na Starbucks eh) ayun tapos umulan... past 10pm na kami umalis ng Starbucks. Nakarating ako ng bahay 11:30pm na... buti na lang at hinatid din ako ni Mike pauwi, at buti na lang di ako pinagalitan ng tatay ko for going home late... hehe... ^-^

Unlearn
- To forget, as what has been learned;
- To lose from memory; also, to learn the contrary of;
- To undo the effect of; put aside the practice of;
Yesterday this word came to my mind. To unlearn things. I started to think and believe that for the past years of existence I've learned a lot of things... some for the better, some for worse and still some that goes in between.
There'll be different kinds of learning and for this blog I'll mention the learning for the mind (being the technicals & theories & understanding of the world around us) and the learning for the heart (being the feelings, desires and dreams).
In my past five and a half years in college, 4 years in high school, 6 years in primary, and 1 year in kindergarten I've learned a lot about the things around me; the environment and society, the human body, human behavior and so much more. Under this kind of learning will I classify the knowledge to interact with people and to read the non-verbal signals that people around us send. From the vast amount of learning from this long existence we unlearn some ; like "I don't remember how to do stuffs I used to do", forgetting a person's name or the incidents associated with that person. In a general view, there's no need to unlearn anything from here. But then again on the other thought, from here we must unlearn the bad memories. The failures, encounters with awful people, skills in bringing people down, skill in cheating in things we do.
On the other hand, I guess there are more things that the heart must unlearn. DISTRUST is one. For the many times that we were cheated, the heart has discovered a way to protect itself form possibe harm ~ distrust. For the many times that we were considered less in worth the heart learned JEALOUSY. For the things that we've always wished to have that other people have, we learned ENVY. For the many times we were dismayed and disappointed we learned FEAR. From the hidden desires the heart LUSTS (oh well). I know there are a lot things you could think of that the heart must unlearn... to heal.
I remember a book telling that the journey of life is harder when we bring extra baggages. I believe that unloading the extra baggages includes unlearning. Well it wouldn't be easy and I can't find the right formula in doing this but the important thing is to start.
========================
Ako I started to observe myself. May mga nakikkita ako na stuffs na masmasaya ako nung hindi ko pa alam sila alam. May mga bagay na gusto kong i-unlearn, yung iba i-unlearn totally, yung iba i-unlearn na lang tapos i-learn ulit kapag nakalimutan ko na.. hehe ^-^. Some might find it weird, pero I'm thinking to give myself a new start. Syempre di naman totally ma-e-erase ang lahat ng bagay pero para lang ma-re-fresh ang heart. Not that I'm broken hearted in any way, feeling ko lang medyo tumatanda ako kaya trying to eliminate hazards hehe ^-^ yun lang...

Maniac sa Bus
Time : Galing sa work. Around 5:15pm kanina
Location : Along Aguinaldo Hi-way Between SM Bacoor and Robinson's Place Imus
Setting : Bus na puno pero di naman siksikan
I rode the bus sa Pasay na medyo puno na so I was seated on the ailse-side of the three seater bench sa bus. Nakakainis nga kasi halos half ko lang ang nakaka-upo dahil dalawang mataba ang katabi ko. Mejo OK naman ang byahe kahit na medyo ma-traffic. Until nakarating kme sa SM Bacoor. May ilang bumaba at may ilang sumakay. Among dun sa mga sumakay ay isang mag-BF-GF na may edad na between 17 to 20, at isang mama na aging between 35 to 40 na tumayo sa tabi ko.
OK pa rin sana ang byahe pero a little later mejo napansin ko na may something na nafi-feel ako sa right side ko na mejo gumagalaw... hmmm... ayun sumimple ako ng tingin dun sa mama na dead-ma lang ako. Eto ang observations ko sa mama:
- He's wearing a plain blue shirt with collar and a plain blue shorts na malambot ang texture( malamang cotton ang shorts na yun eh..)
- He's between 5'2 to 5'4 in height (maliit sya noh?!)
- He's brown in complexion
- He has beard (yuck! di sya nag-shave!)
Ayun tapos... ako naman... iniisip ko kung tama ba na ang nafi-feel ko ay yung thing nya? Una... sheesh Reghz, feeling mo naman! Pero ummm.. konting feel pa... sheesh yun talaga... kasi parang nag-eenjoy na sya kapag magalaw ang takbo ng bus... proof?? eh kasi yung nafi-feel ko eh hindi lang gumagalaw, nag-gro-grow pa!!! Konting sandali pa, hindi nya na lang dinidikit sakin... well, kinakaskas nya na.... yes, to that effect! Kasi it almost na-fi-feel ko yung rush of blood sa veins ng thing nya. Grabe talaga.. as in!!
I leaned forward tapos.. ayun nakasunod pa rin. I moved backward nakasunod pa rin. Whehehe hindi na nga ako tumitingin nun sa kanya baka kasi matusok ako eh grabe na sa pagka-hard... sheeeshh talaga!!! Tapos may ilang girls na sumakay, nag-move sya ng konti... akala ko malalyo na sya sa akin pero no.. . trip nya talaga ako at bumalik sya sa dati nyang pwesto at itinuloy ang ligaya...
Hay nung mga oras na yun mega irritated na ako sa kanya... I was thinking nga na... hmmm dakutin ko kaya?... yuck! Tapos medyo sinisiko ko na yung thing nya to send the message na HELLO, OK ka lang?! Pero mega sa kabastusan talaga itong mamang ito, dead ma lang siya. That was the time na nag-text ako sa guy friend ko telling that the guy beside me is really getting hard. Tapos ang text back nya lumipat daw ako ng seat or sumigaw ako or tapakan ko yung mama.
Think ulit ako... ganun pa rin kahit anong gawin ko to avoid his movements dead ma lang at tuloy sa pag-papaligaya sa sarili nya. Dahil hindi ko na ma-take ang kababuyan at ka-maniac-an nung mama, pina-upo ko na lang yung isang girl na kasam yung BF nya. Sabi ko dun sa guy bantayan nya yung girlfriend nya. That was the time na sinabi nung guy na nahahalata naman nya yung ginagawa nung mama. Kaya ayun, parang binantayan na rin ako nung couple. Hanggang sa bumaba ako kausap ko sila. Pero mega irritated pa rin ako dun sa mama yung tipong nanginginig ang kalamnan ko sa kanya. I was thinking nga na habang pababa ako ng bus eh hahampasin ko ng payong yung thing nya. Kaso naisip ko wag na lang.. di ko naman sya ka-level.. whehehe ^-^
Pagdating ko sa destination ko, tumawag na yung friend ko at kinukumusta na ako. Ayun tinanong ako kung ano ginawa ko dun sa mama. Eh di ba nga wala naman akong ginawa.. dapat daw tinapakan ko yung mama para tumigil. Hay naman kasi baka sabihin nung mama ako lang yung nag-iisip ng bastos noh.... shocks.. mapahiya pa ko... ang fangit nya naman!
Ayun, yun na po ang kwento ko and hopefully I'll be spared for strike two ng mga guys na katulad ng mamang maniac na yun... hmmm makapag-aral na nga ng self defense ^-^

Fairy Tales
- The Against All Odds :: Believing that things would work well for you even at the expense of others. Example... to believe that a man/woman who has commitments(married na or may BF/GF) would leave his reponsibilities for you. Consequence... getting HURT (kapag napatunayan mong di nya kayang ipagpalit ang mga bagay na ito for you) , LOW SELF ESTEEM (pakiramdam that you lack something, as in kulang kang pang-tapat) , BROKEN RELATIONSHIP (with friends and specially sa family mo na kumokonrta ilusyon mo), or GUILT (kapag tinalikuran na nya ang responsibilidad nya para sayo...), and most specially kung magawa nyang iwanan ang iba for you kaya din nyang iwanan ka para sa iba.
- The Price Charming/Knight in Shinning Armor :: Believing that there'll be someone out there ... gwapo, makisig, gentleman, mabait (all that you could ask for), na fate will bring you to each other's arms one day. Consequence... na-mi-miss out mo yung guy na nasaharap mo ngayon. Pwedeng mangyari na napalampas mo na pala yung someone right just because may kulang sa kanya based on your ideal prince charming.
- The One and Only :: Kapag naniwala ka na yung person na kasama mo ngayon ay ang "Sya na nga". Well problem lang 'to kapag umaabot ka na sa pagiging martyr. Yung tipong gusto ka nang batukan ng mga taong concern sayo para lang mamulat ang isip mo dahil masyado ka nang naaargabyado at nagtitiis ka pa rin kasi nga sabi mo (sabi mo lang yun) na "Sya na nga". Consequence... nagse-settle ka for something less and end up unhappy.
- The Hapily Ever After :: *ehem* eto naman yung ok kayo at lahat ng tao sa paligid nyo (maging kayo) ay naliliwalang bagay kayo para sa isa't-isa at dahil kumbinsido ka dito ine-expect mo na laging smooth sailing ang daloy ng relasyon ninyo. Maiinis ka at mafu-frustrate anytime na nawala sa ideals mo ang mga nangyayari. Consequence... nami-miss-out mo yung kagandahan ng relasyon na meron ka, feeling of unsatisfaction sa blessing na meron ka. Mahihirapan ang partner mo na ma-please ka at pati sya, di na ma-aapreciate ang relasyon ninyo.
Ako?, I'll still believe in fairy tales ^_^ ... sheesh!
I assure you my life is no fairy tale... but maybe starting today I'll wake up reminding myself that my life is still a story, continuously written and though it's not a fairy tale for kids to tell hope it could be a story worth being told and retold.
basta ako, isa lang masasabi. pag inlove nabobobo ang tao.

COMPU-Creation
And there were two Bytes in the Word; and nothing else existed. And God separated the One from the Zero; and he saw it was good.
And God said - Let the Data be; And so it happened. And God said - Let the Data go to their proper places. And he created floppy disks and hard disks and compact disks.
And God said - Let the computers be, so there would be a place to put floppy disks and hard disks and compact disks. Thus God created computers and called them hardware.
And there was no Software yet. But God created programs; small and big... And told them - Go and multiply yourselves and fill all the Memory.
And God said - I will create the Programmer; And the Programmer will make new programs and govern over the computers and programs and Data.
And God created the Programmer; and put him at Data Center; And God showed the Programmer the Catalog Tree and said You can use all the volumes and subvolumes but DO NOT USE Windows.
And God said - It is not Good for the programmer to be alone. He took a bone from the Programmer's body and created a creature that would look up at the Programmer; and admire the Programmer; and love the things the Programmer does; And God called the creature: the User.
And the Programmer and the User were left under the naked DOS and it was Good.
But Bill was smarter than all the other creatures of God. And Bill said to the User - Did God really tell you not to run any programs?
And the User answered - God told us that we can use every program and every piece of Data but told us not to run Windows or we will die.
And Bill said to the User - How can you talk about something you did not even try. The moment you run Windows you will become equal to God.
You will be able to create anything you like by a simple click of your mouse.
And the User saw that the fruits of the Windows were nicer and easier to use. And the User saw that any knowledge was useless - since Windows could replace it.
So the User installed the Windows on his computer; and said to the Programmer that it was good.
And the Programmer immediately started to look for new drivers. And God asked him - What are you looking for? And the Programmer answered - I am looking for new drivers because I can not find them in the DOS.
And God said - Who told you need drivers? Did you run Windows? And the Programmer said - It was Bill who told us to !
And God said to Bill - Because of what you did you will be hated by all the creatures. And the User will always be unhappy with you. And you will always sell Windows.
And God said to the User - Because of what you did, the Windows will disappoint you and eat up all your Resources; and you will have to use lousy programs; and you will always rely on the Programmers help.
And God said to the Programmer - Because you listened to the User you will never be happy. All your programs will have errors and you will have to fix them and fix them to the end of time.
And God threw them out of the Data Center and locked the door and secured it with a password.
GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT
================================
This is a story I got from the egroup. Just something cute to read. Hehehe natutuwa lang ako sa mga tao na nakakapag-isip pa ng mga ganito.

POETRY : Beauty
Horses she with hoofs defends;
Hares with nimble feet relieves;
Dreadful teeth to lions gives;
Fishes learn through streams to slide;
Birds through yielding air to glide;
Men to courage she supplies;
But to women these denies.
What then give she? Beauty, this
Both their arms and armor is:
She, that can this weapon use,
Fire and sword with ease subdues.
Anakreon (Translated by Thomas Stanley, 1651)
