I am starting to have a list/collection of words/phrases I don't like.
Like,
"Buti na lang natanggal na niya yung pagiging >insert supposedly undesirable trait here<"
-What if it isn't really so bad to have that supposedly undesirable trait? What if that trait makes that person happy? What if? There's a lot of "What ifs" in me that are just so hard to restrain when I hear that phrase.

"Ano bang hinihintay ninyo?"
- We'd often here that question when one is following up things. And often nobody answers that. Mainly, maybe because no one is ACTUALLY WAITING for something or someone or sometime. Maybe because there are other things at hand.

*** I hope to learn and grow up to be a good person with enough understanding in the situation of others but still hold enough authority to lead. :D (ano daw? anong connection? Hehehe. Maybe I'll explain later. Along with all my later-s. :D)

I think I have just device-d a new way of classifying people.
I don't really know why, but once a person is OUT of my life, that's when I am sure.
If I really don't like a person or I like them in varying degrees.
I'd miss the people that I like in varying degrees of missing. In ways depending on the situation, all factors considered. If I don't miss a person and all I can think of is "Good Riddance" and "How the hell did I tolerate that?", well, it's obvious what that means. :P

I am supposed to be hectically busy. There is SO MUCH that needs to be done.
LITERALLY.
But I am here in my bed. Typing this post. I've read short stories this morning and played rock band with my sister last night. May pauwi-uwi pa ako ng work na nalalaman. Oh pfft!
I hope Pacquiao wins later not because I am a fan. I got tired of watching Pacquiao or hearing him win some years ago. But because my father is going to treat us at Luk Foo if Pacquiao wins. So there goes.
Oh! I'd tell you about our goldfishes! Hehehe
I went home last Thursday from a client in Quezon Ave which made my going home a lot faster and earlier than the usual Makati days. The goldfishes came last Sunday. There's nine of them. I learned they already have names by Monday. But they were named last Sunday too. I only got the time of getting to know one last Monday. Hahaha. It's name is Porthos. He's the black one. (I'll just take pictures later.)
As I was saying, I only have the time to "Name that Goldfish" session last Thursday night.
They are named:
Jack
Maawatan
Spencer
Reid
Amaya
Hara
Porthos
Sunset
and SSA short for Supervisory Special Agent. :D
I hope I'd be able to post their picture later.
Oh and after oggling the goldfishes, we had dinner and the dinner was inihaw na tilapia. I couldn't believe how Sarina could still eat fish when she just watched the goldfishes. Beats me.

best poetry I've heard...
BEAUTIFUL MESS - Jason Mraz

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language,
And shoddy cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
Though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
That this is just what happiness is

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jason_mraz/a_beautiful_mess.html ]
Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt oh dear
Cause here we are, Here we are
Here we are [x7]
We're still here
What a beautiful mess this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

Through timeless words, and priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds, not of this earth
And times they turn, and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together
And we tore our dresses, and stained our shirts
But it's nice today, oh the wait was so worth it.

I would admit that this entry is a kind of discrimination. But my sister Sarina, told me that it is highly impossible to not discriminate. You can not name one thing and not discriminate the other. I think, that was what she was trying to say.

Anyway, I am not intentionally discriminating anyone here. I am just stating an observation based on my experiences. This is about wearing uniforms (here in the Philippines, because in other parts of the world, I won't be able to tell). I for one hate, as in HATE wearing uniforms. I take to account uniforms when trying to get a job. That's why most banks here are out.

I just noticed among my circle that there is a line that separates people who likes to wear uniforms and those who dislike wearing them. Yes, one of my high school friends wants to wear uniforms as a contrast to one of my college friends, who like me dislikes it.

I think, for my friend from high school, it saves a lot of money wearing uniform and another, you don't have to think what to wear on what day because it is already predetermined. Practical. As for me, I hate wearing uniforms because I feel like it's a trap. I feel like a  lot of my self expression is being reprimanded. And I am being subjected to do things against my will.

My friend from high school is from a not to do well family and my college friend and me are from middle class families. I think that one's perception about uniforms comes with one's status. And most people I know who likes to wear uniforms are of the same status so goes with those who doesn't like uniforms. But I might be completely wrong. COMPLETELY. Maybe, it is just a matter of resistance to conform  and the acceptance of conformity. Maybe.

aka: renewal of passport

The next day of my leave, I have to go and have a half-day. It's because our whole family had to renew our passports. I had an early lunch and when the clock stroke 12 noon I was already pushing the buttons of the elevator. I took a cab ride, good thing the cab driver knows where the new DFA is located because the one in google maps is not updated. The ride took only 20 minutes. Faster than my one hour allowance because I really don't have an idea how long it would take and my mother warned me that I shouldn't be late.

The queue in the DFA was so long. And not just one straight line long. It was a series of long lines long. It took us four hours to renew our passports. Gaah! And here I was thinking it would be fast because we made ours through an agency, meaning we have saved time in not going in lines that was taken cared of by the agency. But the process still took 4 hours.

Because of the hours eaten by the process and by Sarah's request, my father decided to have our dinner at MOA. He said he wanted to eat at dampa (I think it was San Miguel by the bay). We got to MOA a little pass four, so it was not yet late for a merienda. We ate at Gonuts Donuts. :D Where Sidney the donut kid had fun. :D

We roamed around for awhile after eating merienda. I bought some books and Sarah was looking for white shirts. Sarina and I had to have a sneek peak of the male models of the fashion show that was to be held that night. It's a giddy girls' thing. :3. Anyway hemingway, I was growing tired and cranky that night because my body was sore. Good thing the food in Dad and Mom's was great. Warning a terrible shot of myself is upcoming....:P

I like the fact that both of my parents are happy in that restaurant. Now, I have an idea where to bring them for a treat! :D

aka: Sarina's day out. :D

Last October 26, 2011 I took a leave from work to bring my sister Sarina to Noriter and Cubao Expo. But before we headed to those places we had to accompany our even younger sisters, the twins, to buy the Jason Mraz concert tickets. Buying the tickets proved to be a problem. We had to go to SM North Edsa from SM San Lazaro because their ticketing booth in San Lazaro was effing up! We also have to leave Sidney because she has a "date with her friends" >:)).

Even before SM San Lazaro, the day was starting on countless mishaps. When we were already at Retiro corner Blumentritt, Sarina realized she left her cp at home. The twins and I had to wait for her. While, waiting there's this crazy old lady who wanted us to go away. Telling us that we were robbers and everything. She even pushed me. I retaliated more than I ever retaliated to old people before. Good thing it was me she pushed and not one of my sisters because if she did, she would have got more than my words. She gave up on us though. >:)). I stood my ground, that old bitch do not own the road. :P.

Anyway hemingway, we were hours delayed from my original plan. Since we waited a good hour in San Lazaro before deciding to go to SM North. And going anywhere that bypasses Quezon Ave. nowadays, takes 20 to 40 minutes more than they used to before the construction of the underpass. To further our luck the taxi driver who was driving the taxi that we rode didn't know the other way to SM North. Gaah! I wished we just rode a jeep since, the only reason I decided to ride a taxi is because of the detour. Oh well.

Deciding to go to SM North proved to be a blessing in disguise. :D We got patron seats instead of the free seating area. :D After another delay caused by BPI, who kept on asking my sister her name, birth date, my father's name and my father's birth date because she used her credit card, an extension of my father's and she couldn't provide a valid ID except for her student ID. Gahd! These people who eats your time! Yes, I know it's a good thing to check and to have tight security for our own safety. But come on! I didn't take a leave for waiting on people.

I also made all the wrong transportation decisions that day. On our way to Noriter, I didn't chose to ride the LRT instead we rode an FX and it took a while to get there. Good thing Sarina enjoyed the place or else I could kill myself hahaha.

After Noriter, we decided to take a stop by Quiapo for dvds. Only to find out that the dvd place is no longer there. T_T much to my heart break. There are these people who calls out "DVD! DVD!". It seems that the dvd market is still on going but they are more underground. I don't want to risk anything because I was with my sister and it was Quiapo so, I decided that we should move along.

Another transportation mishap, was deciding to ride a jeep all the way to Cubao. Gahd! the traffic was just GAAH! Halfway through I wanted to scream. It was just so damn much of a traffic jam! When we got to Cubao, we were both uber thirsty. I decided to eat at KFC, only the KFC there was under renovation, so we ended up eating merienda at Mcdo. After merienda, we headed at the expo. Thank God Sarina enjoyed, I mean genuinely enjoyed the place. She even bought dresses. :D Oh! and she even wanted to have her picture taken with the poster for the Jason Mraz concert, which she wouldn't be attending, by her choice.

Of all the mishaps, I hope my little sister did have fun that day. :D :D :D I can't wait for the next day out. :D

On our way to Laguna last October 26, 2011, we stopped at a gasoline station to eat breakfast. We had our breakfast at the Pancake House. I ordered steak. My first ever legit breakfast steak. While eating, I mean even before eating, I mean even before going down the vehicle, there was these "parade" of luxury cars and luxury motorbikes. My father couldn't help himself, he watched the "parade". So, I decided to check out the "parade" too. :D

I should not let today waste away. I mean, great long weekends and holidays don't get by more often than necessary. Yes, NECESSARY for the lazy soul. Lazy soul like me. Anyway, let me show you some pizza nights. These nights are great nights because there had been a pizza famine in my life the weeks and nights preceding said pizza nights.

We went to Shakey's the night the gremlins knew about their grades. Everybody passed. Nobody failed. And Everybody's grades are on the dean's list category. No other way to celebrate but to eat good food meaning PIZZA! at Shakey's where the pasta and mojos are the best. :D Our grandmother was currently staying with us that week. Meaning, I had my dose of grandmother stories for the past few nights. :D I love them. I love my grandmother even if she's too talkative for her own good. Hehehe. I guess, it runs in the genes. :D

Shakey's night was a Saturday. That same saturday, before the ever gratifying dinner I spent the day fixing, handling, throwing, etc. old hard copy files of my clients together with the rest of the company. We worked like volunteers for a cause. Only the cause weren't so noble. We were just discarding unnecessary files from years of the past. Gah! I was quite dirty, good thing I had the mind to wear brown. 

This is a hush hush thing but Camille and I had a double lunch. Yup. You read that right. DOUBLE LUNCH. Since, it was a whole day Saturday, a diversion on the usual half day Saturday we had to pack lunch. But most of the other staffs ate out. So basically, it was just me and Camille at the office. After eating our packed lunch we decided to go and eat at Jollibee. :)). Because I was craving for their Palabok and their fries. Been wanting to eat those for awhile but there wasn't any chance. It was always Mcdo.

                                   

                                    

Anyway, even after eating at Shakey's on Saturday, I still wanted to eat pizza and Sidney was egging me to buy pizza. So I bought Yellow Cab's Meat Lovers' because yun ang mabenta saking mga kapatid :D. We ate the pizza while playing The Beatles Rockband. :D

I feel like there's no cluttered thought in my head right now. These moments are precious. I've always wanted a moment and a feel like this. The feel like you are in the province or anywhere that is relatively rural and it rained in the dawn and it is still early morning and you can just savor the after effect of the rain, making the wind cold and crisp (presko). Ahh...love this! So quiet! Even inside my brain. :D :D :D

Listening to the "The Morning After : Decade" 

VJ Stan who is a self-proclaimed TRIVIA LOVER said, after playing the following songs, that BSB's "As long as you love me", NSYNC's "Tearing up my heart", Westlife's "If I let you go" are the boybands' second single from their debut albums. (although i am not entirely sure with the BSB's hahaha...and here I was thinking that what they had in common is their videos where they all wear white polo but there's a great chance my memory is just playing with me. :P) He also said that 2 become 1 by Spice Girls is about making love and using protection hahaha. I even checked the lyrics. hahaha. :))

Oh and I love knowing that some songs I could often here has title now, of course in my record cause they were untitled songs till today....hehehe...like "Tubthumping" and "Smells like Teen Spirit" :D

aka: the snippet that should have been posted about a month ago (phew!)




I highly assumed that this particular post would be a long one that's why I deferred it at the time. But now, almost a month later I'd just write it as it is with no romaticizing it.

Last October 9, I woke up at Myla's house because it's the morning after! After her birthday. We slept over their house. Remember? Anyway, I have this internal struggle of whether I am going home to take a shower or just head straight to Greenhills where we were supposed to have lunch. We were celebrating our 6th year in our home.

Eventually, I decided to go home and have a quick shower. A decision I am thankful I did because  instead of just having lunch at Greenhills we ended up spending the rest of the day up until dinner there.

Anywho, on the way to civilization, Yi and I rode an ordinary bus. It was a Sunday, so public transpo is much easier that day. I love the way the wind was blowing on my face (good thing my hair was in a bun, I couldn't say the same thing for Yi). I enjoyed the fast ordinary bus ride. :D
After that we rode the MRT, my first time riding it on a Sunday and it is a far scenario from Saturdays and needless to say on weekdays.

I rode a taxi after the MRT that would take me home to take a shower. After taking a little less than fifteen minutes of bathing and changing, I rode another taxi to Greenhills. Everybody were already texting me because I was running late as per our meeting time. I said I'd be there at around 10 and the time was closing in to 12.

When I got there, I thought we were already going to have lunch but I was proven wrong. So, I just went with their flow. I went to look for the pairs of shoes that I wanted but apparently, no one was selling them anymore. Much to my chagrin. After such disappointment, I have this extra money because I wasn't able to buy the things I have planned to buy. That was easily settled when Sarina and I came across this convertible dress. Which I have always wanted since I saw it a year ago in Singapore, only it was too expensive and said style weren't still here in the country.

Sarina and I found the rest of the family in the expo that was happening that day. My father bought this stamp album full of old stamps. He also bought this knife for eating beef which unfortunately, I don't know what it is called. He also bought old Philippine currency, e.g. currencies in the Japanese era. My mother bought this old telephone with the old rotating dials not knowing that the seller of the jukebox will be giving us one when they deliver the jukebox later that same day. We ended up with two of the old telephone and I am not complaining. :D The twins bought old coca-cola cards. Sarina and I asked our father to buy us these supposedly meteor rocks. They were supposed to be rocks that came from meteors, well I have to admit I am not entirely convinced but just for laughs or for novelty's sake we made our father buy us some. :D

Anyway, we had lunch at Gerry's, much to my dismay. Hahaha. Not that I don't like Gerry's, I love their pork sisig, but I would have wanted to eat at Burgoo or try something new. But it was not my call. So, we just enjoyed eating there while it is drizzling or probably raining all over the city/metro.

I was already getting worried about the delivery of my father's jukebox because of the water fall.
But he was all "do not worry, it would be alright". After lunch, I thought we were heading home. Only to be told that we're still waiting for the Wii. In all honesty, I am not interested with the Wii and it pisses me off that I have to pay for my share. So we waited for the Wii and it turns out that we have to wait for it for the rest of the day. I just went to the food court and read parts of "Catching Fire" and have some chat with Sidney and Sarina.

My father had to go home and attend to the delivery of the jukebox and just go back to Greenhills later that day. I wanted to go home already, but my mother decided to hear mass there. I wasn't mentally prepared to go to church that day and it just frustrates me. There are just times, which comes often lately, when I am reluctant to hear mass. I've explained the status of my faith and my religion in one of my previous posts.

Anyway, after securing the Wii, we had dinner at Burgoo which kind of but not entirely compensates for the crappy afternoon. After dinner, we spent a whole lot of time getting out of the parking lot because there is much delay in that place's parking system.

Later that night, my sisters feasted on the jukebox. Sarah couldn't seem to part with it and Sidney likes to operate it. Christel was there for the hype and the singing and her dancing. :D
My father was so happy about it. :D

And there goes October 9, 2011. And yes, it is pretty much a long entry compared to my normal snippets. :D

* I am archiving my "my idiosyncrasies" blog, I am saving them all in PDF files because I am that much of a lazy bone. I came across an entry that has this colorgenics test and it said there that I got it from Myla. I decided to try it again because I am pretty sure I have changed through the years.

Utmost in your mind is success. You are constantly seeking stimulation and a life full of experience. You are trying to 'grow' and above all you need to develop freely and to shake off the shackles of self-doubt. You are an enthusiastic individual, full of life with the desire to live intensely. You like contact with others and are enthusiastic by nature. You are receptive to anything new, modern or intriguing. Your interests are many and you are likely to expand your fields of activities. You are optimistic about the future and you deserve every success because deep down you are a 'winner'.
You need an atmosphere of peace and quiet and you would like to share a bond of understanding with the 'right person' - you have the belief that with the right person, your stress and anxiety could be minimised.

The way things are, you feel that you are stuck in a rut and there is not much you can do about it. You feel frustrated and inhibited but if you can find a way to let yourself go, you may find that things aren't quite so bad as perhaps you thought they were. One consolation is that since you are an extremely emotional individual, with the right person you may be able to release some of that frustration and tension with some mutual tender loving care.

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.
You don't like authority and you rebel against all forms of limitation. You are your own person and you intend to stay that way and to get on in the world simply by your hard work and determination.

* Let's talk about Jason Mraz.

The twins and I went to the Jason Mraz concert last Sunday. October 30, 2011.

(I owe my ticket to Sarah, and yes, baon na ako sa utang T_T. Anyway, that's beside the point.)

Of course, before we watched the concert we had to eat. At Gateway, there were a number of people who were wearing fedora hats. And all I can think of was, "good Lord! these people!" (In case, you don't know, Jason Mraz wears fedora hats lately.) And here I was thinking, "I am pretty sure Jason Mraz would be wearing less flashy and ma-porma than these people. I mean he's living and looking like a hobo, a hippie and all."

                                    *bear marley. :))

We went inside the coliseum with only fifteen minutes till eight. We were in the patron section and all the english-speaking-fedora-wearing-idiots were there. I am sorry but seriously?! o.O. But that's enough of my hate. :))

I was half expecting an opening act, but I was thinking that probably, there's no opening act because Jason Mraz is different. And yup, just a few minutes after eight there he was with Toca Rivera, without any frills or introductions they started playing. Jason Mraz was wearing a bandana (take that fedora idiots! Oops! Promise this is the last of the hate side comments >:)) ) And he was wearing a black shirt with a PEACE written on it in white. And well you see I got the memo, I was wearing my "another shirt with a peace sign". :D

I couldn't say I am really a big fan. But my sisters are. And what I know of his songs, I love. Especially because of the word plays. :D. And there is a certain appeal in the fact that he is living the life. He travels the world and gets paid doing what he loves best.

One could tell he is not in it for the money, because the patron tickets don't cost much it is a little less than 4k. That's already patron seats. Unlike some performers, the tickets for his concerts are affordable. If I remember correctly, sometimes he just performs in public without any payment.

At the concert, when he started singing that's when I truly appreciated his voice. Seriously, it is not so hard to imagine being sang with his songs and with his voice. He has such nice voice and the words in his songs are great. Because, I barely know half the songs he sang, I sat there internalizing every word and enjoying the moment.

But the real magic weren't in those serene moments. It was when the crowd stands up, dances, screams and sings to the songs. And yes, I danced, screamed and sang out loud that night. :D He was so moving. He said he believes that how a person does one thing, that's how a person does everything. He said it was up to us if we spend our life dancing with our hands on our sides or follow his simple steps and let go. :D

He have this certain charm that makes you want to loosen up, let go and take life as it is. That night, I danced as if no one's watching, (because really? everybody was busy dancing themselves) sang at the top of my voice as if no one's listening (because seriously? there's jason mraz and everyone's also singing at the top of their lungs) and screamed as if there's no tomorrow (because there were a lot who screamed louder and higher than I did).

My sister Sarah, had this cute moment when Jason Mraz sang "you and I both", she went to me and she hugged me and smilingly she said "He is singing IT!". And yes she is the biggest fan of Jason Mraz among us. :D The crowd sounded really good singing "you and i both". I mean really, they know all the rifts, sways and curves of the song and they know  it all to the T. :D. It was amazing!

And the bigger magic happened when the show ended. Lights off, no performer on stage, people just screaming randomly and out of nowhere people started chanting "WE WANT MORE!" and the whole coliseum was one. And I was thinking, "I am a fool not to go with it and yes, I personally want more". It took really a while, the crew were already fixing the stage but people where persistent. I had half a mind that he might not show up anymore. But then people started screaming again and there they were.

That's when another level of magic happened. He talked some about a cause he supports and he sang a few unknown songs and then he sang "the remedy" and another song I couldn't remember the title by some other artist. Then he sang something impromptu and he sang when he asked the audience "where do i go from here?" and people randomly screamed "Boracay!", "Sagada!", "Alabang!", "I'm Yours!", etc. Then he broke to "I'm Yours" and everybody sang. And he did this saxophone sound and sang with an "opera" voice and then continued singing "I'm Yours" with the crowd. Then he thanked us and he said "See you in 2012". Then bowed out of the stage.

It was the best concert I've been to. Simply THE BEST. The most Amazing. (and here I am worrying that the twins might not enjoy there first ever concert (official big concert). Pfft!)

And I know I'll listen to all of Jason Mraz' wordplay. :D

I was reading some blogs last night (November 1, 2011). I wanted to read the blog of the girl who wrote “Date a girl who reads”. It was Rosemarie Urquico. In search of said blog entry I came across multiple different entries of “Date a girl who writes”. I read a handful of them. And although, their contents were right, I have to say they weren’t written beautifully. The words were right but they weren’t put together lovingly. And they were supposed to be written by girls who write.

As I was reading them, I thought I should write my version of that. But I am scared I won’t be able to rise up to the challenge. I mean, you’re convincing the world to date a girl who writes here. There’s no way you could convince the world of that thought if your entry won’t be written beautifully. There’s no way the world would be move if it would be a litany of things, of blabbed words that tried to be coherent thoughts. One should write about the quirks of girl writers that infuriates and at the same time endears them to the world or to just one person.

I hate settling. I would really hate to know that I don't write beautifully. I would really hate to know that I have settled with just writing. I want to write beautifully. And it scares me that I don't.

* Tumblr-ing while uploading pictures.
   Tumblr-ing = missing Harry Potter even more.
   Tumblr-ing = can't wait for 11.11.11
   Tumblr-ing = the itch for the HP 7 part 2 dvd
   Tumblr-ing = can't wait for another set of HP marathon

* I slept at around 8 pm tonight and woke up at around 10.
   When I was between asleep and awake, Sarina told me "Fred just died."
   She's currently reading the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".
   When I am almost half-awake she told me "Snape just died."
   You know, it is not nice to be reminded of the death of such dear characters.
   Such dear friends. Especially in a half-awake half-asleep modes.
