Isang PasaSALAMAT...

Author: mavs // Category:
Kahit alam kong medyo huli na ‘tong goodbye post ko, itutuloy ko pa rin habang hindi pa nagpapalit ng taon. I’ll make this an acknowledgment entry before I succumb to the inevitable vacation brought about by the holidays. Kailangan ko lang magpasalamat ng marami sa mga taong tumangkilik sa aking blog. Kahit di kasing lalim ng Pacific Ocean ang contents nitong site ko e nagtiyaga pa rin kayong dumalaw, magbasa at magkomento. Di ko man kayo ma-mention lahat, basta SALAMAT TALAGA NG MARAMI SA INYONG LAHAT NA NAGING BAHAGI NG BLOG KO. At syempre dun na rin sa mga nagbabalak na maging bahagi. Welcome kayong lahat na pagtiyagaan ang entries kong minsan walang laman, minsan pwede na.

Syempre meron din akong bibigyan ng espesyal na pasalamat dahil sila yung tipong mga early birds sa blog ko. Kum baga sila yung unang mga nakabasa ng mga kabalbalan at kadramahan ng aking layp.

Unang-una, salamat muna sa taong nag-encourage sa akin sampu ng aking mga kasamahan sa publication na maglipat bahay at i-transfer lahat ng blogs namin sa blogosphere. At yan ay walang iba kundi and may ari ng blog na itago na lang naten sa initials na Stupidly Perfect. Tama ang inyong nabasa, yun nga, at produkto iyan ng matambok na pag-iisip ni Bong. Salamat ng super dami Friend for introducing us this world. Syempre sa lahat din ng aking kasamahan sa TN, di ko kayo iisa-isahin pa dahil sobrang dami nyo (baka abutan ako ng boss namen e di pa naman pwedeng mag-internet pag nasa trabaho…sumasaglit lang naman ako kasi alam nyo na than when the cat is away, the mouse is alone kaya go go go!).

Basta nung hinalungkat ko ang inaamag ko nang mga posts e eto ang unang pitong pangalan na nakiepal sa posts ko.

Unang ratsada..tan…tanan…nanan…we have Paperdoll. Tingnan mo nga naman ineng, ikaw pala ang unang babae sa aking buhay este blog. Di nyo na itatanong dahil mag-isa lang naman ako dito sino nga bang magtatanong no? Ewan. Basta bagu pa man ako ginanahan na gumawa ng entries sa blogsperyo e nagbabasa na ako ng mga posts ni Manika. Super sasaket ang panga mo sa katatawa pag siya na ang rumampa. Dahil nga jan, na-inspire akong karerin na rin ang blogging. Bata pa lang ako, idol na kita PD, at hanggang ngayon idol pa rin kita kaya sana naman magparamdam ka na. Kung ayaw mo di na kita pipilitin, siguro maaga kang nagbakasyon. Ingat ka na lang ha. Let us know agad pan nanjan ka na kasi miss ka na namin. Tnx PD.

Sumunod kay PD ay walang iba kundi si Ate JosHy. Ang itinuturing kong ate sa blogsperyo. Siya lang naman ang nasa likod ng mga katangi-tanging posts sa Mundong Parisukat. Napakahusay nya talagang magsulat as in wala ka talagang di babasahin. Kaya naman nagtayo kami ni Dhianz ng fanz club kung saan si Dee ang pres, ako ang vice-p at si master ron naman ang treasurer. Oo tatatlo pa lang kaming myembro sa ngayon kaya naman nanawagan ako sa lahat ng Joshians na sumali sa fanz club at ng makarami kami. Hehe…back to you ate Joshy. Salamat talaga ha for giving me the chance to have a sister like u kahit dito lang sa blogsphere. It means so much to me. Hay naku ewan ko lang pagnawala kayo ni Dee sa Blogger, siguro mawawalan na ren ako ng gana. Kaya naman walang mawawala sa aten ha. Lab u te. Ingats ka jan sa inyo at hihintayin ko ang pagbabalik mo.

Pangatlong nagbigay pansin sa post ko ay si Saling-Pusa. Tama, bagu niya tinanggap yung suhestyon ni Bong na Pusang-Gala nalang ang gamitin niya dahil sa mga paglalakbay nya, e matagal na pala siyang visitor ng aking blog. Thank you so much PG. Tats na tats talaga ako sayo parekoy. Sana hanggat nanaisin mong mag-blog ay patuloy pa ren tayong magkakakilala sa blogsphere. Happy Holidays PG. Meow! Meow!

At ang susunod na dalawa ay ang mga kasamahan ko sa TN. Sina Mary Narvasa at Ambrucia na mas kilala sa initials na Cathy Guilaran. Oops! Initials lang ba yung nasulat ko Tat? Sorry ha, medyo bangag lang. Wag mo na lang sabihin na real name mo yun, lolz. Sila ang mga nilalang na ikinulong sa katawan ni Eba peru daig pa si Malakas kung umasta. Lalaki talaga sila peru sa tulong ng mga doctor ay naging matagumpay naman ang kanilang operasyon. Hahaha. Site ko naman to kaya sorry na lang mga girls. Diko naman kayo sinisiraan e, tinutulungan ko pa nga kayong lumabas sa lungga nyo. Hehehe…lolz…jowk lang mga kafated. Thanks din ha sa mga comments nyo sa page ko. Kahit alam kong ginagawa nyo lang yun para magcomment din ako sa blogs nyo. Hahaha. Honestly, salamat girls and I lab u both also.

Ngayon naman ay pumunta tayo sa susunod na pwesto. Siya lang naman ang presidente ng Joshian fanz club, none other than Dhianz. Sila ni ate jOshy ang dalawa sa mga importanteng tao sa mundo ko dito sa Blogger. Dee salamat sa lahat ha. Sana matagpuan mo nga ang iyong sarili sa gagawin mong soul sourching. Hahaha. Kung ano man yan, alam ko naman na kakayanin mo yan Dee kasi sobra ang kapit at tiwala mo kay Lord. Tama yan. Liliban din nga pala ako for a while kaya wala munang hahawak sa fanz club. Peru tama ka kasi whatever happens solid na tayo kay ate jOshy e. Basta nag-comment na ren ako sa post mo dEe. Atdun na yung ibang nais kong sabihin. Antayan tayo ha. God Bless You Always. Salamat talaga!

At syempre para makompleto na sila, eto na si master Ron Turon. Siya lang naman ang may busilak na kalooban na gumawa ng mga libreng disenyo ng layout for your blogs. Tulad nga ng sabi ni Dee kelangan mo lang sumipsip/magpasipsip ng konti kay master Ron. Salamat ng marami master sa pagtangkilik mo sa blog ko mula pa noon. Idol talaga kita kasi ang galing din ng mga posts mo. Happy Holidays Master. Ingats po lagi.

Kung merong mga nauna, meron din mga bagong dating sa tumtutugon naman sa akong blog kaya Arigatou sa inyong lahat. Malilimutan ko ba naman sina sir Pajay na napaka-informative ang mga sinisulat...thank you for sharing you ideas sir; ang bottomless na kapeng gawa ni Dylan Dimaubusan tnx miss Dy; salamat din kay Aian ni laging nagpapalit ng layout peru super dami na ng post mukhang aabot na yata sa 200 entries lahat; syempre kay Kosa din na at kay Pusang-Gala, salamat mga parekoy; thank you so much din kina Ms Donna, Mike Avenue, Zeb, Cyndirellaz, Chyng, Pio Jun Babia, Marco Paolo, The Dong, Krisha, Krisha, Bert Loi, Ewik, ExtraOrdinary Noriel, Gian Carlo, Caroline, Perfectly Imperfect, Royalty Ambisyoso, at yung mga nasa blogroll ko na nakilimutan kong banggitin: , Maya, at sayo Flor.

I’m supposed to make an entry about the recent activities we had in the publication. However, since I know that most of my colleagues who are also bloggers will do the same, I will deviate from the topic and have this one in lieu. But I will also be posting my experience soon.

For the time being, I will narrate my reunion with the MAN I haven’t visited for the longest time. The MAN I missed so much. The MAN I owe a lot. The MAN who gave me life and the MAN exalted by everyone. That MAN is none other than GOD.

Just like everybody else who believes in Him, completing or at least attending a couple of Aguinaldo masses for nine consecutive mornings is a must before celebrating His birth. In short, I, together with my two friends, managed to woke up as early as 3 o’clock in the morning to attend the very first Aguinaldo mass of the year.

It was a fulfilling experience for me to have finally wandered again in His house after a long time of negligence. I was excited to see Him again and feel His presence in my spiritual life. Indeed he made it. There’s nothing so fulfilling than having the feeling that God is with you; that He’s willing to accept you again regardless of your sins, lapses and shortcomings; that He loves you (I was sure of that because I felt it); and that He does not judge you superficially because He knows what you feel, He knows what’s in your heart.

The duration of the mass seemed insufficient for me to confess everything I have inside to Him. Off we went to the neighboring town and prayed to San Antonio de Padua. He is the Patron Saint of the people in Sibulan. People from different places come together every 13th of the month to attend the mass and light candles after. This has become a tradition for many years and we are not exempted to that. (I know paragraph is kinda not necessary but since I am narrating, I hope you won’t mind me including it.)

The mass was over when we arrived so we just lighted candles. I took the opportunity to converse with God and managed to say all that I have to say at the moment. I felt so cleansed right after.

We went back to the city with satisfaction in my heart. I know it’s not enough so I will be striving everyday to make it up to Him. I won’t be making a promise but insofar as the circumstance will permit, I will really try my best to finish the nine mornings. Not because it’s a tradition; not because I want my wish to be granted; not to become religious in eyes of the people around; but rather to serve a deeper purpose which only me and God know.


I will also be taking this chance to answer the tag passed to me by Ms Donna. Maraming salamat miss dOnna. Ngayon ay masusubukan na naman ang galing ko sa pagdarasal. Hay sana marunong ako. Di bale na, sige ganito nalang:

Mahabaging Panginoon, naway gabayan Mo Po ang sino mang uupo bilang susunod na pangulo ng Republika ng Pilipinas. Huwag Nyo Pong ipahintulot na maghari ang kasakiman niya sa kwarta upang gamitin ang kaban ng bayan para sa pansariling kapakanan. Gabayan Nyo rin Po kami na makapaghalal ng nararapat na pangulo. Hindi po namin kailangan ng henyong pangulo sapagkat maaaring gamitin niya lamang ito upang lituhin ang sambayanan. Bagkus ay kailangan lang po namin ng pangulong malinis ang kalooban at malinis din ang hangarin para sa ating bansa at sa mamamayan. Hindi na po kami aasang yayaman pa ang ating bayan dahil iyan po ay imposible. Ang sa amin na lang po ay malutas ang kaguluhan sa pagitan ng ating gobyerno at ng mga rebeldeng NPA, Abu Sayyaf at ibang pang mga terorista upang wala ng magbuwis ng buhay. At kahit papaano Po ay kumunti ang bilang ng mga taong walang kain at dumadi naman ang bilang ng mga taong may trabaho. Maraming Salamat Po. Amen.

Ngayon naman ay ipapasa ko ang tag na 'to kina: Bong, Yanz Froglet, Dhianz, Ate Joshy, Mary Narvasa, Joel Ambisyoso, Kosa, Pusang-Gala, at sa lahat ng may gusto pakikuha na lang.

Ang Pasko Ay Sumapit

Author: mavs // Category:
Christmas is just around the corner. With only 12 remaining days to go before the highly anticipated occasion invades the world, everyone has their own plan how to celebrate it. We can see early shoppers crowding the mall to splurge on their bonuses and 13th month pay, while others are contented shopping in bargain stores that have become pervasive in the country. On the other hand, there are some who opted to spend their week-long vacation in some of the best beaches, resorts, vacation houses, and other tourist spots found in Pinas.

Everyone already has plans this yuletide season but not me. I haven’t really troubled myself thinking what to do this Christmas. I mean not yet hitherto. But that doesn’t mean I’m not excited or at least looking forward to this once a year chance. I will be enjoying this Christmas, that’s for sure. But I aint have plans yet. I just let the invitations and surprises come like I was a child thinking he won’t be receiving a single present this Christmas but was overjoyed when gifts come in bundles courtesy of his godfathers.

Hey that is exactly what’s happening to me lately. Early this month, we have had our Christmas party in one of the beaches in the city for a certain organization I’m affiliated with. It wasn’t planned actually but it was a great fun. Just the other day, I was told by my classmates that we will be holding our Christmas party next week at the residence of my classmate which is less than an hour drive from the city. (That would be cool and I’m looking forward to that.) Later that day, we had our second “kris kringle” (as how we call it in the publication where we’re told to bring something long and hard presents so we could exchange it with our colleagues). I was glad when I received my present. (I won’t tell what that is but it’s surely useful for me).

Yesterday evening, two of my friends and co-bloggers in the persons of Bong and extraordinary Noriel celebrated their birthdays at the publication office. It was a surprised dinner for the celebrators and the staffs. We were lucky because a former senior writer of the school paper came to the office to personally greet Bong and chipped in along with the others so that we enjoyed the foods we had later that night. Afterwards, the atmosphere became a happy place for everyone. We rehearsed for our day-long-activity tomorrow which includes outreach program for the orphans at Friendship Homes followed by share-a-meal program for street children at the boulevard.

We also have our gift giving to the survivors of fire in Bgry. Taclobo (one of the barangays in the city). We will be singing Christmas carols to the families before we give away our little presents. Since we are not singers, we really have to rehearse before spoiling the enthusiasm of our recipients. (lolz) The practice went well for us though not all of us can reach the notes properly. What matters is the spirit of giving so there’s nothing to worry.

When I entered my work place few minutes after we changed date, my supervisor met me with folded papers and told me to get one for our exchanging of gifts. I was surprised to know that we will be having our party next week. I’m not aware of it really because I’m just working once a week.

I thought it would be another blue Christmas for me but I was damn wrong. With all the upcoming parties I will be attending, it’s gonna be a happy one. But more than the parties, the act of sharing the spirit God’s birthday to the less privileged and spending quality time with your family cannot be traded with any material stuffs in the world. Merry Christmas everyone!

Mga Echus ng Layp (da fuLL bersyon)

Author: mavs // Category:
Hai naku miss ko nang mag-post ng Tagalog kaya susubakan ko uling makaisa.
Medyo matagal na rin kasing wala akong new entry eh, kaya ito na muna.
Hay bilib talaga ako sa mga certified bloggers na kayang magpost ng tatlong beses isang araw, at dala-dalawa pa ang account. Kainggit naman kayo! Wala kasi akong laptop o PC at home, kaya sumasaglit lang na maka-log-in sa ofiz namin (sabay pray na sana may isang vacant so i can use). Kaya pasensiya na mga tsong at tsang kung di ako masyadong makahabol sa daily pace dito sa blogosperyo.

Anyway, di naman masyadong kahabaan ang ipo-post ko. Ikekwento ko lang yung awkwardness that I felt today with my friends (well at least ganun kami dati, ewan ko sa kanila if they still consider us friends ngayon). Parang history repeats itself lang noh kasi similar din dito yung nai-post ko dati. Peru dahil friendly nga ako, (i'm raising my hand) bago na naman ‘to. Bagong friends quarrel na naman (if there is such a term).

Haha…layp talaga. Resulta na ito nung last founder’s day namin. Syempre I made a decision na naman which to them is kinda unfair. Hay hewan ko ba sa kanila. Ang hirap talaga gumawa ng desisyon kasi di lahat sasang-ayon. But I had to do it, para naman madisiplina sila kahit papano. So ayun na nga, galit-galitan na naman ang drama nila sa ‘ken. Peru ano pa bang magagawa ko, I had to stand firm by my decision, however hard.

Ay oo nga pala di niyo alam ang istorya no? Ganito kasi yun, di ko lang naman kasi pinayagang i-release ang t-shirts ng classmates ko’ng (super bait) di tumulong o kahit nagpakita man lang ng kanilang mga kaluluwa sa activities namin last taym, habang halos i-chop na namen ang aming bodies just to distribute the tasks. At tama ba namang pupunta lang sila sa booth namen (salamat sa mga co-officers ko at dun na rin sa mga nagmagandang loob na tumulong at nagpuyat) to get their t-shirts. Ni hindi man lang nangamusta kung ano nang nangyayari sa mundong ibabaw, o kung buhay ba pa kami matapos hagupitin ng sandamakmak sa responsibilities, habang ang mga (hinayupak) super bait kong classmates at members ay dinaig pa ang pulis sa pagpapasarap. Tama ba naman yun Kuya Kim? Pakisagot naman po.

At eto na nga ang after-effect. Todo isnaban as in walang pansinan sa klase kahit siko na lang ang pagitan (imagine how awkward it is?). Imaginin mong tatatlo lang kami sa isang row, tapos kahit yata apakan mo pa yung mukha o kurutin mo yung large intestines, di pa rin iimik. (kaya mo yun?) Di pa naman ako sanay sa mga eksenang ganyan kasi maingay akong tao (peru pag wala akong kakilala, super tameme naman na parang pipi). Ganun pa man, ewan ko kay Batman, itutuloy ko pa rin ang ka-emohang 'to. Sabihin na nilang ma pride ako e sa yun lang ang meron ako sa ngayon. I won't reconcile with them until they realized their fault. Yeah, I should admit I have my shortcomings also, but sana naman aminin din nila na parehong kaming may kasalanan. Wag yung puro na lang ako yung nagpapakumbaba. (pang-MMK na 'to) Kasalanan ko oo, kasi bayad na yung Tshirts nila yet di ko pa rin binigay? (sino ba ako para i-hold ang shirts nila?) Hindi naman sa ayaw kong ibigay na nararapat na sa kanila, ang sa akin lang e magcooperate naman sana sila. I mean, nung naging 5th placer kami sa overall rankings ng 64 student organizations in the campus, para kanino ba yun? Para sa'ken lang ba yun? Di ba para sa society yun? Karangalan ng society namin yun. So kung lahat tayo nag-effort, e di lahat tayo makaka-appreciate nun daba?

But since tapos na ang lahat, nangyari na ang dapat mangyari kasi nanalo na si Pacman at mukhang magreretiro na si Golden Boy, pwede na nilang kunin kung ano yung sa tingin nila ay sa kanila. Ba't ko ba ipagdadamot yun? Unang-una hindi sa 'ken yun at pangalawa anong gagawin ko sa mga yun? Sagutin nyo naman ako please.

Ngayon, sa mga awkward moments na nangyari at mangyayari pa. Diyos na ang bahala kung kakayanin ko pa. But as the old cliche goes, I will just let the time heal. Pero sana it wont take long. Baka makasanayan ko nang isnabin sila at ganun din sila sa 'ken. Sayang naman ang ilang taon ng friendship. Miss ko na kayo mga bakla. Ewan ko ba kasi sa inyo. Ewan ko rin sa sarili ko.


At bago ko tapusin ang kaechusan ng layp ko, hayaan nyo munang magpasalamat ako dahil umabot na rin sa bilang na apat as in four as in kwatro ang followers ko. Sa ilang buwan ko na dito sa blogosperyo, akala ko wala ng magtitiyagang sumubaybay sa kabulastugan ko. But i was damn wrong. Meron naman pala. At dahil dun, tats na tats ako kaya buong nervous system kong pinasasalamatan ang aking mga tagahanga na sina Pusang-Gala, Zeb, Rina (na pinilit ko lang) at syempre sa newfound ate ko sa blogosphere na napakagaling, napakatalino at napakaseksing si ate JosH Marie. Salamat po sa inyong lahat. Paxenxa na rin kasi once in a blue moon lang akong magpost ng bagong entry yet you have given me the chance. Domo Arigatu Gosaimas. Narinig ko lang yan but di ko talaga alam ang spelling kaya sorry na ha.

Nga pala salamat din ng marami kay Kosa
dahil one of the followers ko na rin siya ngayon. Hay di pa rin talaga ako makapaniwala, dumarami na sila. Thank you guys. Wag sanang kayong magsawa at wag din magbago ang isip nyo. Nakakalima na ako.

Mabuhay ang asosasyon!

Author: mavs // Category:

This is it! I’ve got my new post again after quiet a long time of silence. I’m sorry for the absence; I was just too busy during the passed days because we have had a week-long celebration of our school’s 81st founding anniversary. There are many stories to tell yet time has always been its tight rival.

But not anymore, I will be utilizing the time I have right now to come up with a topic as I’m fighting the drowsiness I’m feeling while in front of the computer. Damn! I’m just too exhausted to think of anything, however, my fingers are typing as if they have a mind of their own.

Enough is enough for unnecessary introduction. Let me start this absurdity. (at nang matapos na)

I’m just very happy at the moment because I can finally rest after those sleepless nights I spent guarding our booth. My life will be back to normal again (ganito ka OA) after the five-day-activity slated for our founder’s week has finally taken its toll yesterday. It was culminated with the awarding of certificates, trophies and prices for those organizations that have accumulated enough points to be given the recognition.

I was surprised when I heard the news that my organization (MCS) made it on the fifth place in the overall rankings of the 64 student organizations in our school. Honestly, I was more than flattered when I confirmed the news. It is only proper for me to share the recognition and congratulate our society for the individual efforts we chipped in that brought our society to where it is right now. (para naming ang layo na natin, e ganun pa rin naman diba? Hahaha…papel lang naman yun)

Thank you so much to everyone in the organization. From the booth committee, to the decoration and gimmick committee and the persons in charge of the booth including those who don’t have a committee yet voluntarily rendered their services to make the event memorable and enjoyable. I hope we’ll still have the same motivation next year. It was a great experience guys. Again, thank you so much!


Ewan kung may laman ba to o kung korak ang grammar. Antok na antok na kasi ako e kelangan kong magpost kasi inaamag na daw yung site ko sabi ni Manikang Papel kaya bahala na si Batman kung may magbabasa nito. Madaling araw na kasi. Hehe..sige gudnayt!

It's all about leadership

Author: mavs // Category: ,

I always believe that good leaders are also good followers. Ironically, I’m not a good follower. Should I expect a good leadership out myself? Let the members speak their minds. (If they happen to bump my site…)

I would just like to express similar bitterness my friend Bong (sowe na gud frewnd) has experienced in his leadership. (of which I’m one of the members)

I can relate how maddening it is to schedule a meeting for your group but instead of starting it on time, you have to spare another hour or more because you will have to wait for the rest of members to arrive so that there should be a quorum.

Even if you still have other things to do, you don’t have a choice but to sacrifice it or miss it at all because waiting for them has already consumed much of your time. They just don’t have an idea how frustrating it is to you. They just don’t have an idea how much you extend your patience in order not to reach your boiling point.

Another thing is when they get inside the room late and the meeting has begun, they will automatically babble with their seatmates/classmates (as if they haven’t seen each other for decades) and eventually disturb your ongoing discussion. Isn’t it already below the belt? Isn’t it worth slapping their faces until you see them bleed? (but that is too harsh I believe).

Moreover, how would you feel if the people who usually neglect the meetings are the officers themselves? Haven’t they realized that they should be a model for the rest of the members? I would assume that if they are not stupid they are moron.

Or, if we look at it on the other side, maybe they don’t respect my leadership. Perhaps, they think they are better than me. Well I don’t think so because if that is so, they should have been the ones that were elected and not me.

Now my point here is not to wash my hands and redeem myself from this insensitiveness, or to brag my leadership either. Rather, I am just writing this to let the people know (especially those who are concerned) that a leader can only perform his tasks smoothly if the members are willing to cooperate.

We all have our lazy moments sometimes but for so long as we can minimize it, then let’s do it. We all have our share of stupidity in life but as long as we can control it, let’s go for it. We are not perfect but we can minimize our errors by carefully thinking our deeds before putting them into action. We all have to invest respect to other people if we want to be respected by them also.

Love Thy Neighbor

Author: mavs // Category: ,
This story actually took place the other day. I didn’t have the luxury of time to write it earlier so I’m writing it now.

I was supposed to sleep because I stayed overnight in the publication office to finish some assignments. I didn’t even have a minute of sleep that time so needless to say I was really tired. My eyes needed a rest so badly, so was my body. I did not even bothered eating breakfast. I arrived home at around 7 o’clock in the morning and sleeping was all I wanted to do.

Just when I was about to close my eyes, I heard noises from our neighbors. I didn’t mind it at first for I thought it would be gone in few seconds. Eventually, I slept for a couple of minutes until the same noises, louder this time, woke me up. No matter how I tried ignoring it, it is annoyingly unbearable. I closed my eyes and covered my ears with pillows but it doesn’t lessen the noise.


I stood up and peeked at the window. Damn! I found out that the noises were produced by the gossipers in the neighborhood, shouting at each other while encircling three to five people who are apparently having a fight.

Grrr! If only I was born to slay irritating people, I should have done it at the moment so I can immediately go to sleep without being disturbed. Since I’m not that kind of person, I contended myself watching the situation. I can’t remember how many punches were thrown in the air. I don’t know even know whose hands threw it and whose face received it. I don’t consider myself a barbaric type but I seem to enjoy the show.

Before I can see blood in the scene, police officers came and settled the battle. In just a few minutes, the place was abandoned and the environment turned silent. Good thing because I can now continue what I had started moments ago.

I went back to my bed, grab a pillow and conditioned myself to sleep. I wore a smile on my face before I finally fell asleep. The show was terribly good. It was a good entertainment before sleeping. It’s like watching TV show before you go to sleep in the evening. Deep sigh! I just hope I won’t be disturbed this time. Zzzzzzz….


At dahil naka-receive na naman ako ng award isisingit ko na dito yung sagot ko.

Moving On

Author: mavs // Category:

It wasn't long when I posted a topic announcing my grief over some of the closest friends I've lost. I can't remember it in details anymore but I can instantly recall the pain it caused. I hate to sound mushy so I will be cutting it short 'til here. It's already buried in vast oblivion and digging it is like allowing its ghosts to haunt you again until you become psychotic. It's already part of history and keeping it that way is a clever choice.

What matters to me now is to embrace another phase of my existence. There's so much beyond that and I don't wanna face it half-heartedly. I want to end it right so I will be starting it right. I don't want my past to trespass and manipulate my approach to this new experience. Or, I will end up messing it again.

This new phase of my life is more about moving on. It's about learning from your errors in the past and making it right this time. It's about reflecting upon yourself and looking into the aspects that need improvement. It's about realizing that swallowing your pride is not making yourself less of a man but making you whole rather. It's about finding fulfillment in befriending your enemy. It's about taking the initiative to reach out to the people who became distant from you. And most importantly, it's about recognizing that we do not have the right to be a mediocre if we know we can do more.

I know this is just the beginning and there's still much about this phase. I know sometimes I make myself contented of a half-baked achievement when I can always do better. I am also aware that I am repeating of some my mistakes hitherto. I know I am still a procrastinator but I'm trying to get away from it gradually. Sometimes, I just can help but prioritize merrymaking than performing my obligations. But I am not blind to these negative traits I possess, someday I can overcome it.

In spite of this, I can still say I am a changed man because I have been hearing good comments from people around me lately. I have also re-established rusted friendships. I have learned to hang out with people whom I thought were awkward and boring to be with before. I was just amazed to appreciate their company, so was mine. I have also learned to converse with people without easily losing my temper and eventually hitting my boiling point. With all these and with all the positive response, I believe full improvement is just around the corner.

Sobrang bonggang-bongga ang lakas ng ulan dito sa maliit ngunit maganda at tahimik naming *cabaret* lugar. Tae! Kala ko di na ako makakapasok sa work dahil (sigh!) halos two hours din akong naghintay ng masasakyan habang ang lupit ng buhos ng raindrops on my guitar. Lang ya, nangawit na ‘ko sa kakaantay peru wala yatang namamasadang driver dahil sa lakas ng buhos ng ulan at hampas ng hangin.

Asan na kaya sina mamang driver sweet lover? Bukod sa para na ‘kong basang *trapo* sisiw eh super late na ako. Lagot na, baka tuluyan na akong masisanti nito. Ewan ko lang kung pa’no ko sasaluin ang galit ni madam employer.

At dahil mahaba ang aking *!#^@$#~* pasensya, sa wakas ay may dumaan din traysikel. Pilitin ko mang sumakay ng taxi, di pwede dahil bukod sa obsolete yan dito, eh wala din akong pambayad. So mabalik tayo kwento. Dahil alam kong di ako agad makakasakay sa layo ng pupuntahan ko at may bagyo pa, dinoble ko na lang yung pamasahe. Ampf! Sigurista din si manong tsuper, triplihin ko na lang daw kasi galit ang weather condition. Kung bakit naman kasi walang blogger account (meron ata di ko lang alam) si kuya Kim para updated ako sa lagay ng panahon. Kaya ayon nagbayad nalang ako ng triple kesa naman mawalan ako ng raket.

Habang binabaybay namin ang daan, wala na ‘kong makita sa harapan dahil sa bagsik ng ulan. Basta nagulat din ako dahil bumabaha na pala at hanggang tuhod na eh slow motion pa rin yung takbo namin. Tae! Para kaming sumusunod sa parade, 5km/hr ang drama. Napa-isip tuloy ako kahit walang utak. Di naman kaya dating drayber ng punerarya si manong? Ah basta umepal nalang ako at humingi ng medyo malakas-lakas na arangkada.

Go naman agad si manong at ginawang 6km/hr ang drama (at least lumakas konti). Ewan, eto na yata yung maximum niya, palibhasa tanders na kasi. Kung may iba lang sanang masasakyan, kanina pa ‘ko bumaba. Tsk! Nagti-is nalang ako.

Nakakatawa lang kasi sa kasagsagan ng sungit ng panahon, may mangilan-ngilan pa rin sex workers na nakaposte *ng meralco* sa gilid-gilid. Hay ewan, ganito yata talaga ang life! Kahit para nang mga lantang gulay, go pa rin sa kanilang raket. Patawarin ako, peru di naman siguro sila ang dahilan ng dilubyong ito? Nagtatanong lang po.

Sa aming pag-uusad pagong, may nasipat na naman ako. Sa gitna ng bagyo ang setting ng dramang ito. Umi-eksina ang lovers (assume ko lang na lovers nga sila). Nakaluhod si babae na tila nagmamakaawa kay lalaki habang ang huli ay todo effort naman na makawala sa kapit ni Eba. Bukod pa jan, para silang bingi sa nagsisigawan sa daan. Buti na lang at dinaig sila sa lakas ng ulan at wala rin audience impact kasi walang ibang tao nun. Tama ba namang isabay sa bagyo ang LQ? Hindi naman sa nakikialam ako peru parang ganun na rin. Basta wala na ‘kong nakita after dahil malayo na kami.

Wala anu-ano pa at narating din namin ang lagusan este ang aking destinasyon. After kong magbayad ng pagkalaki-laki ay binuksan ko na rin ang payong kong dala. Pucha! Naramdaman kong basa na pala ako dahil super butas pala ang walang hiyang umbrella ni Rihanna. Buti na lang nasa harap na ‘ko ng gate.

Pagpasok ko ng opisina eh para na ‘kong lantang gulay na pupungas-pungas. Daig ko pa ang isinawsaw sa isang timbang tubig na puno ng yelo sa lamig. Late pa ako ng 20 minutes. ‘Pag mamalasin ka nga naman oo. Mabuti na lang at naintindihan ng supervisor namin ang kawawa kong sitwasyon. May raket pa rin ako. Yehey! Hai teka ang ginaw.

At dito po nagtatapos ang aking kwento Charo. Magandang gabi mga kagilagid at kabagang.

Heto na’t tatahakin ko na rin ang landas ng aking mga idolong sina rOnTurOn at pUssYcAtdoLL esTe pAperdOll pala. Isasama ko na rin lahat ng active na kabagang at kagilagid natin dito sa mundo ng mga lasheng –ang blogsphere.

Uumpisahan ko na ring *maghubad* magkalat ng tagalog posts dito. Ba’t nga ba pinipilit natin ang *menor de edad* ating sarili na gamitin ang dolyar na lingwahe gayung pwedeng-pwede naman nating gamitin ang ating pambansang *kamao* wika, diba?

Ika nga ng founder ng mga emo na si Gat Jose Rizal, “Ang hindi marunong magmahal ng sariling wika *ay foreigner* higit pa sa malansang fish.” Loko lang po mga kabagang at kagilagid. Wag naman sana akong ipahuli ni mamang pulis dahil diniscriminate ko ang ating national hero. At pati sa mga emo. May dugo rin akong emo kaso nga lang di ganap kasi kalahati ng dugo ko kape, kaya peace po tayo mga brad.

At dahil ipinanganak akong insecure at nothing but a 2nd rate trying-hard coffee pot, manggagaya na rin ako ng istilo. Yun bang tipong seryoso daw peru *bastos* may sense of horror ay humor pala. Ang laki kasi ng impluwensiya nung mga idolo ko eh. Sana nga lang may magbasa pa ng blog ko pagkatapos nito. Wag naman sana nila akong isumpa at sana kilalanin pa rin ako ng pamilya after this. OA..lol..

Well, hanggang dito nalang muna ang kahibangang ito dahil mukhang umuusok na ang kili-kili ng mga nagbabasa ng walang kwentang post na ‘to. Peace be with us. //_’

Whatever Nanny You're Such A Loser!

Author: mavs // Category:
There are only two kinds or person in this world. I would say that the first is the insensitive type. And I wouldn’t mind counting myself under this category because people around me can attest to that. I believe my soul might as well agree with me. I have been hearing this negative trait of mine for many years. But I am uncertain if I’m aware of this or not. Maybe the latter is my case because no matter how I try to improve, they still branded me the same. You know the feeling of pushing yourself to the end of the wall just to be appreciated by others but end up being a failure?! Rather they would assume that you are too airy and conceited. It’s like waving not only your both hands and feet but also your entirety to them yet they are not responding. Isn’t it a painful way of telling you that you are good for nothing? It’s as if they would rather pay attention to the invisibility of the air rather than acknowledging you.

But how did I earn the moniker? What brought them to the idea of branding me as such? Let me try to answer it myself. Maybe this is the result of my being “bossy” according to them. Well it’s hard and frustrating to lead an organization with more than 50 members especially if it is your first time to assume such responsibility. “Mangangapa ka talaga” as how the Tagalog people say it. But I won’t use it as defense mechanism because I have already gotten this far with my leadership. I’m not really a better leader, not even a good one. In fact, I can’t even lead my life as to the way I wanted it to be. Look at me, I’m just a mess. Now forgive me if I have been too bossy for you. I just don’t know how to lead. You might as well take away the leadership from me if you feel that you deserve it more than I do. I wouldn’t mind.

I am also a “trying hard” joker. But my jokes are terribly not laughable and worst it’s hitting below the belt. Sometimes I’m getting way too personal that I’m becoming oblivious of others feelings. And I believe this mounted up their reasons.

Now I would say the second type of person is the oversensitive type. They are the kind of people who are extremely sensitive. And I would say that maybe they are just overreacting to what seem like a simple situation or just exacerbating it. Meaning when you start to get mad to your friend for a reason which is very superficial in nature, as an oversensitive person you start to dig up all the things your friend has done. You will end up meeting your boiling point ensued. Instead of slapping it on his face right after, you’ll bank it and let it pass until you can no longer bear the turmoil and eventually suffer yourself later on. Well you’re such a pathetic and hypocrite creature. I would borrow Ogie’s line in the Spoiled Brat segment of Bubble Gang and share it to you “Whatever Yaya you’re such a loser!”

Yes you are! You can always confront the person you hate so things will be over. If want to put a period and never start another sentence then do it. Not that you’ll keep it and masquerade to other people pretending everything’s fine while keeping the grudges. Strike whilst the iron is hot man! You’re fooling nobody but yourself.

Oops! I think I’m losing my point here. Yeah! Whatever! It would be better if I end it up here and finish it some other time if procrastination will not visit me. This is utterly an absurd post. Thank you for wasting your time reading this. Hehehe…LOL! //_’

A self-realization

Author: mavs // Category:

Some couple of years ago, I was the man I wanted to be. I have bundles of friends from college, despite my being a novice. Not to mention my ever loyal friends from high school who’ve proven their worth to me. Of course I also have my course mates and new friends from other subjects.


In short, life was good and easy then. Or, at least I made it good if I may put it that way. But I’m not sure if I’ve realized what I had that time. I’m not even sure if I have the smallest idea how blessed I am to be given such wonderful people.


Perhaps I was not aware because I’m too confident that I will not lose them. I will not lose them because I have adequate time and attention for them. Time to bond with them, and cultivate the friendship we planted together so it will grow. Another factor maybe is because during that time, I’m not pressured to budget my time yet. Time which is utterly indispensable in any type of relationship to work based on my experience.


Before, aside from my whole day school rituals, I still have energy to hang out with them if I have vacant periods, or at night time and even during weekends. If I cannot be with them, I can always reach out through text message or email and the like.


But I believe it is really true that as we advance in life, we learn the limits of our abilities. We come to the point in our lives wherein we can no longer divide our time equally for everyone who needs it. We have to sacrifice the rest because we have no other choice.


The more we take higher steps in our academic journey, the more time it demands. The more we strive to excel in one field, the more we lose the others. We have to learn to set our priorities in life. This is one hell of a fact that we have to swallow. I know it sucks but it’s the reality.


And I got my fair share of this reality. I lost friends beyond my knowing. I mean I am uncertain if I have become busy or the other way that I was oblivious of their departure. They left me one by one until nothing is left to me but their traces, and some few remaining persons whom I can only count with my fingers.


I panicked like a child who cannot find his way back home until dark comes and he’s left alone in the middle of nowhere. I did all possible things to bring them back but I failed. They’re even reluctant to listen to it. It’s as if there’s nothing I can do to change the decision they’ve already fixed.


Then I also have to have a fixed decision for myself. If they have given it up that easy, why can’t I? If it is less complicated to let the person go then why keep them? Why will I make it hard for myself? Friends come and go anyway.


Eventually, I gave up on them. Slowly and gradually, I detached myself from them, no matter how hard and painful it is to put into action. And then later on, I realized that if they really are my friends, they shouldn’t have left me. Rather, they should’ve understood me as I do to them. Isn’t friendship supposed to be that way? Anyway, I’ll leave my door ajar should they decide to enter again. But I’ll be wiser and prudent (if this is the proper term) this time. This is now the man I have to be.

Just a thought

Author: mavs // Category:
I was about to leave the house for my evening work when a thought suddenly crossed my mind. It was a thought that popped out in the most unexpected moment. The kind that intrudes your senses. The kind that is awakening. Or maybe, the kind which is alarming to me.

I just happen to pause for a while and ponder on some things.

What kind of life am I living? How do I differ to other students? Or to other young people? Am I happy with it? Am I contented with it? Am I doing the right thing? What really is the right thing for me?

Well I was just hoi polloi few years ago. When I entered college, I was very ordinary. I go to school and home sweet home after it. Of course I have my fair share of vices. What are youth anyway? I was not that attached really to my academics. I have much of my time wasted at home. Watching TV, renting movies, listening to the hottest music, hang-out sometimes with my friends, chat with my neighbors, and spending quality time with my family.

In short, I was living an easy life. I deserve it perhaps because that's just what I wanted.

But things changed during my second year, especially when I joined the student publication. It was a dream come true for me because of my passion in writing. It was a dream come true for me because I'm starting to get off my shell. I was weaving my own identity. I started to read my full name in our school paper. It was a self-fulfillment that no money can compensate. But most of all I earned friends who made my college life worth the while. Everyday is a day of excitement with them. The publication has really made me feel like I am somebody. I am no longer a nobody but somebody who's living a life with purpose.

As I torn another page of the calendar to see another school year passed, I wasn't really aware of what’s going to happen. Well unexpectedly, I was elected leader of our society. It may be providential but I was also employed as a part time agent in one of the companies here in the city. This means that aside from my load of being a full time student and campus journalist, I carry the responsibilities of being a student leader while working part time during weekends. This was also the reason why again I got elected as one of the officers of another organization, and then another. Modesty aside but I think I am overwhelmed with the responsibilities put on my shoulders.

"With great power comes great responsibilities." goes the cliche but bears the truth. Another one is "You can't serve two masters at the same time." One might consider these as passe statements but they are absolutely true.

In fact, amidst the bundles of work that I have to do, I sometimes end up staring blankly in the wall doing nothing. I don't know what to prioritize. I remember my teacher told me once in our dialect "imo man gung giduphan tanan". He's precisely correct.

Now I'm bound with too much responsibilities that I no longer have time for my family, or even for myself. I just give a heavy sigh along with my frustrations as I imagine my life. I was just an ordinary student who got bored with ordinary life so I wished for some pressures. But look where my wish has brought me. Look how far I've soared. And look how much pressure this life has. I truly miss him. I miss myself.

But that should have been fine if you are happy with what you're doing. In my situation, I should say I'm pressured but still have reservoir of happiness. Deadlines really pissed me off, but being with my colleagues in the publication already gives an exit for all of my stress. I make them laugh, I make them mad, they make make me smile, and they also make me upset. That's our life. We are family here. We seek refuge in everybody's solace. We give love and so we receive.

To finish this, I know God is good that He will help me surmount all these.

So God bless us all.

What an experience!

Author: mavs // Category:
Indeed it's one of my most unforgettable experience since my college life! For one factor maybe is that we've been to a comedy bar (kuno?!) here in Dumaguete City. The first of its kind (kuno?!).

Who would have thought that the not-so-planned hang out would leave a lasting impression on me. I hope the others feel the same as well.

I was really expecting much from that comedy bar that BEa keeps on boasting in school. Off we went there and to our surprise, there's nothing special outside the establishment. Not even a signage to make a passerby realize what's inside. It was just a dusted and cheap streamer there (forgive me the term BEa) with the name of the bar.

When we came there, I was already laughing seeing one of the gay performers there re-touching his/her make-up. We even have second thought until Bea went out and told us to get inside. I like it because there's no entrance fee. We just have to order anything and that would be all. I mean the fun would be bottomless!

Bea sang two songs before the "show kuno" started. But before that, my long time missed classmate and friend Jemmy called. Though it was utterly unexpected but I saw Nadine crying heavily before she passed the phone to me and talked with Jemmy. She's really unpredictable!

When the show finally started, Bea made some not-so-funny-trying-hard-jokes-which-at-the -time-was-somewhat-effective-or-I-don't-know (hehe..forgive me Bea). But I should say that it did entertained us.

Anyway, its fun seeing my colleagues whacking out things. I know for a fact that Bea has a crush on Joel (who was also there) so I challenged him/her to play on him. Well I got a good response because BEa urged Joel to come up on stage and the two played the very wholesome game TOUCH THE COLOR.

OMG! I never thought the game could be played that way. Or maybe I just never thought Bea has done what she has done (Joel pod ai!). Once again I have proven how hard is it to earn money. You have to do anything and everything.

The show went smoothly with unpredictable surprises in the middle. You should have seen my teacher and my friend whose skills in writing is unparalleled. That was really a night that one will opt to stay awake.

Which exactly what happened to us right after the supercalifragilisticexpialiduscious (am not sure with the spelling) show. We walked from the place all the way to the freedom park. We were so hungry after so we decided to eat the "pancit guisado" that Joel bought for J-----. (niuna man ug uli ang duha).

You must be thinking we ate it normally right? Nope, we kinda asked one tiny plastic from the nearby burger stand and divided it for more than ten people. After that we voraciously devour the food as if we've never been fed for weeks. (gutom jud au friend)

Then we planned to stay in Ninoy's head until 5 o'clock in the morning (ambot morning naba na), however it rained so we need to find shelter (or somewhere with roof at least so we wont get wet). We ended staying in the stage where dancers used to practice during daytime. It was so dusty and dirty but we slept for a moment. That was my first and my last I believe to sleep in freedom park. (sa stage pa jud).

I got home at almost 5 o'clock and I comfortably slept with smile on my face. Thanks for that one of a kind experience. Thanks for the memories. MCS rocks!

My first

Author: mavs // Category:
I don't know what to blog for now since I'm just newly registered, but I will look forward to blogging more if everything goes well. For now, I just want to finish this little introduction.

I don't know if I'm gonna be taking this blog site of mine seriously but I will cross the bridge when I get there. I'll see where my limitations would lead me. I just want to welcome myself!
