I have to blog real quick dahil kailangan ko na matulog so I challenge myself to type everything in 15 minutes.Timer starts now...

I am currently attending a recurrent training for communication skills.Well well well that means I will not take calls for one week.Petiks uli ,angsaya.I was planning pa naman to take my leave since nagstart na naman ako maburn out sa work na ito.Pero I decided not to, since wala namang gaanong gagawin sa training.Eion,we're having our training in Ortigas,sa GMT building besides Discovery Suites.I realized na masyado kong namiss ang Ortigas,sabi ko nga kay Shandy, my officemate gusto kong halikan ang lupa ng Ortigas pagtapak ng mga paa ko don.hehe.For one year ka ba namang nagwowork don tapos bigla kang irerelocate sa kabundukan ng Fort Bonifacio.Namiss ko 'yung mga mini stop convenience stores sa Ortigas na wala yata sa Global City,pantry sa discovery Suites,Megamall ,long walk from MRT to Ruffles pag papasok sa work at siyempre 'yung mga dati kong kaofficemates sa Vertex.I wonder kung nandun pa sila.

Sampu lang kami sa training from different teams.I am glad na si Sandro kasama ko,yung kateam mate ko na sobrang kulit.Enjoy ko naman 'yung class mukhang cool kasi 'yung trainer namin,her name is Bee.She's a Filchi at sobrang natatawa ako pag nagtatagalog siya.hirap na hirap kasi.Pero malufet magEnglish.And we're really having fun,its not like we're in a training.Bee always find a way para maging interesting at masaya 'yung class.

I just finished watching on DVD Korean movies Windstruck and My Crazy Love.Maganda sila pareho,although for me the best pa rin 'yung My Sassy Girl.Tapos papahiramin pa ko ni Shandy ng Il Mare,I think 'yung bida dito is yung bida rin sa MSG.naikuwento ko kasi sa kanya that I am starting to appreciate Korean films.Eh mahilig din pala siya don.So humiram agad ako, to think na sa training lang kami nagkakilala.Kapal.hehe.Pero trade naman eh hindi niya pa kasi mapanood yung Windstruck.

Mukhang maganda 'yung bagong reality show ng Channel 2,Big Brothers.It's a show about a group of people na magistay sa isang bahay tapos, kukunan ng camera lahat ng ginagawa nila.Is it true na may original version nito sa US ay kinukunan talaga pati yung nagsesex?Good luck sa MTRCB.Sana I will be able to catch one of their episodes.

A sassy review

Marami nang nagsulputan na Koreanovela sa TV pero dahil primetime sila pinapalabas at masyado na silang marami, nawalan na ko ng interes kaya't hindi ko nasubaybayan ang kahit isa sa kanila.

Dahil kay Ferdie, he was a classmate in Highschool na sobrang dami ng collection ng Korean movie and tv flicks,at kabisado yatang lahat ng character ng mga Koreanovelas pati na rin mga soap sa Arirang channel, kaya nacurious ako tuloy bigla kung ano meron sa kanila.At sinimulan ko ito sa pagbili ng isang kopya ng DVD na ang title ay My Sassy Girl. And I must say watching this movie is a good start for someone like me who wanted to appreciate Korean films and culture.
---
Sa dami ng kailangan kong gawin,so far My Sassy Girl pa lang ang napapanood ko sa mga binili kong DVDs sa Quiapo. It is a romantic comedy,a feel good movie to watch kung gusto magpakamushy and manood ng movie na light lang pero maaaliw ka talaga.Although slapstick yung style of comedy, natuwa pa rin ako sa mga Korean characters at sa plot nito.Aliw siya kahit kailangan tumutok ako sa TV para basahin yung English subtitle.

I know marami na ang nakapanood sa inyo nito ,medyo luma na kasi siya and you must be really tired of hearing reviews about the movie.pero sorry wala kayong magagawa dahil kinacareer ko na rin ang pagiging film critic hehe.Kung ayaw nyo di wag kayo magbasa.Joke.

Nabasa ko na pinalabas ito noon pang 2001 at talaga namang humatak ito sa takilya sa South korea.Ang mga bidang artista ay ang Korean pop singer Cha Tae-hyun opposite Jun Ji-hyun .It had become the second-highest grossing film for 2001 and had earned a place as the highest grossing Korean comedy in the country's box office history.taray pala ng movie na ito.
Sa mga hindi pa nakakapanood heto uli ang movie review mula sa link na ito: www.mediacircus.net/mysassygirl.html



"My Sassy Girl" is based on an on-line serial written by Kim Ho-sik that detailed his relationship with his off-the-wall college girlfriend. This was eventually compiled into a best-selling book and caught the attention of director Kwak Jae-young, who wrote the script for the film. The story kicks off with college student Kyun-woo (Korean pop singer Cha Tae-hyun, in his feature film debut) crossing paths with a drunk girl (Jun Ji-hyun of "Il Mare") on a late-night subway. Just before she passes out, the girl looks at Kyun-woo and calls him 'honey'. The other passengers, assuming him to be the hapless girl's boyfriend, demand that Kyun-woo look after her. After carrying her on his back for what seems to be miles, Kyun-woo drops the girl off at a motel. But instead of leaving her and getting on his way, Kyun-woo finds himself intrigued by the nameless girl and vows to do whatever he can to heal her sorrow.
Unfortunately, he gets far more than he bargained as he becomes wrapped around the finger of this strange girl, whose dramatic mood swings are outmatched only by her penchant for sociopathic behavior. When they dine out and Kyung-woo orders anything but coffee, she barks her mantra "Do you wanna die?" and then promptly changes his order to coffee. When her feet begin aching from walking, she forces Kyung-woo to switch his comfortable running shoes for her high heels. And being a budding screenwriter, she demands that Kyung-woo read her wacky treatments, or else face an ass kicking. However, despite these crazy antics (not to mention landing in jail a few times), Kyun-woo finds himself hopelessly hooked on this 'sassy girl'. And though the girl seems to relish in humiliating and belittling those around her, it becomes clear that underneath the brash exterior is a wounded soul who holds a genuine affection for Kyun-woo.

This cleverly scripted comedy covers a lot of territory in its two-hour running time, containing enough material for at least two movies. The film's first half (a fact that is irreverently highlighted with a big bold pastel-colored title) deals with Kyung-woo's initial misadventures with the 'sassy girl' and the absurdity he faces in her company. In addition to the obvious comic set-pieces revolving around the girl's anti-social tendencies, Kwak has some fun visualizing her female-centered film treatments, such as "Terminator Demolitionist", featuring a female warrior from the future gunning down bad guys à la "The Matrix". Another great gag has Kyung-woo being instructed to drop off her treatment at Shin Cine (the production company behind "My Sassy Girl") and making the suggestion that Han Suk-yu and Shim Eun-ha be cast in the lead roles (for the uninitiated, they are two top Korean box office draws who appeared together in "Christmas in August" and "Tell Me Something").

However, as the film moves into its second half (declared with more pastel-colored lettering) and even overtime (check), the bottled-up emotions and vulnerable side of the 'sassy girl' start to reveal themselves, and the film moves into more melodramatic territory, reflecting the growing maturity of the two lead characters. The film even takes a riff from the ever-popular 'love across time' genre (which includes "Ditto", "Failan", and "Il Mare") as the would-be lovers spend some time apart and are reunited by an unexpected and clever plot twist. Despite the more serious mood of this latter half, Kwak manages to avoid the melancholic overkill that permeates the typical Korean romance, while still providing a good enough emotional footing for the story.

If there is one really good reason to watch "My Sassy Girl", it would have to be Jun Ji-hyun's turn as the film's unnamed heroine. From her unforgettable first appearance as a wasted commuter, to her rambunctious bullying of Kyun-woo, to the heartbreak she wears on her sleeve, Jun displays an unparalleled level of enthusiasm and dramatic range in portraying a young woman whose domineering exterior is but a smokescreen for her own vulnerability-- it is almost difficult to believe that this same actress who played the quiet and introspective Kim Eun-ju in "Il Mare". As her opposite, the likable Cha Tae-hyun is the perfect comic foil/underdog for Jun's bundle of untamed energy, and his 'constipated' facial expression, when faced with one of her 'outbursts', is priceless.

Like the best Korean films, "My Sassy Girl" is a genre-bending exercise that throws in elements of the teen comedy, the traditional melodramatic romance, and even some genre parody and blends them into a unique cinematic experience that defies categorization. The film's original Korean title, Yeopgi, which means 'novelty-seeking', is in reference to the youth craze that was started by Kim Ho-sik's original Internet postings about his eccentric girlfriend. Though the English title for this film doesn't mean quite the same thing, it certainly does tell you what to expect.

Totoo, matalino ang pagkakasulat ng iskrip ng pelikulang ito.Alam ng sumulat kung paano kukunin ang kiliti at simpatiya ng mga manonood.Nagustuhan ko rin yung bahagi kung saan pinabasa ni Jun Ji-hyun yung script na ginawa niya kay Cha Tae-hyun ala Matrix at siyempre yung mushy part kung saan bumalik yung guy sa place after two years na suppose to be ay magkikita sila 'nung bidang babae.Nakakalungkot 'yung laman ng sulat Jun Ji-hyun.Natuwa ako sa twist nung kuwento.Stop muna ako.Ayokong maging kill joy dito.Suspense.Manood na lang kayo para makita nyo yung sinasabi ko.

At punta na kayo ng Quiapo at hanapin ang sassy girl.Support piracy.nyahahaha.bad.Oist Ferdie pahiram naman ako ng mga collection mo ng koreanovelas.Yun lang bottomline dito eh.hahaha.=)

Attack to the Pirates' Paradise

After my shift last saturday, I immediately prepared myself on my trip to Quiapo.I have been planning of going to Quiapo for so long but I really have no time to do so.Finally I have the time last saturday.Well this is about my DVD hunting.

So I went to the DVD lair of Manila.Marami nang nagsabi sa'kin na mura at malinaw ang copy ng mga pirated DVDs sa Quiapo.For only PHP60,makakuha ka na ng kopya ng paborito mong movie na matagal mo na hinahanap.

I know na iba pa rin ang original and I do understand that piracy kills the movie and music industry yada yada yada however times are tough and I have to be practical.So forgive me if I support piracy.Besides yung mga art films at classics na nandito sa Quiapo wala na sa mga legitimate stores.At totoo piracy of arthouse films brings movie appreciation to a higher level wherein the masa can now appreciate reading subtitles. Ewan ko kung magagree kayo.

I really dunno where exactly could I get clear copies of pirated DVDs in Quiapo.What I did was I tried to research over the net to find the Quiapo map where I can find my treasure.So I got this link and it made my trip to Quiapo easier.This is what I got from idiotboard.blogspot.com/ 2004_08_01_idiotboard_archive.html.Thank u dude.Post ko na rin dito if ever may mga interesado, may mga pics sa link nya so pakiclick na lang po yung link.Talagang niresearch ko daw ba?Hehe.

The hidden location of the pirate's lair. Just go into Arlegui Street.;Hmmm... And so the plot thickens. This is one of the entry points to the infamous Quiapo DVD market. From the Quiapo church, you have to cross the underpass to the other side of the avenue.

There, you can ask for directions or better yet just follow where most people are going. Here, Arlegui street poses as one of the less crowded access to the fabled stuff. Just go straight. Do not panic if you see a cop because as far as anyone with an IQ higher than 90 knows, they are frequently batting a blind eye to this seemingly illegal trade. I think their philosophy is that as long no one is hurt, killed, maimed or kidnapped, then everything's well.

Caution: Do not bring lots of cash, or credit cards for that matter. Do not show off your cellphone in public, or use it in the streets. Do not wear expensive watches or jewelry for they can become targets for street pickpockets. Do not wear formal clothes because Muslim merchants are wary of giving discounts to coños.

Furthermore, do not make any snide remarks ala GWBush about Muslims because you won't get any discount that way. (I was about to write "you won't be able to escape Quiapo alive if you do insult them.")

Inside one of the many alleys in DVD country;There are lots of places to start. And you have to be discriminating with your choice of DVDs. Just don't take it as it is because if something is wrong with it, it can be very difficult to return it back for exchange. There are rows and rows of DVDs and with luck, you can stumble on rare titles (like the works of Paolo Pasolini & Kurosawa), or better copies of unreleased films. The DVDs are stack on shelves upon shelves extending from the floor to the ceiling. When they say DVD copy, it means it was copied from the original, but when they say "Clear copy," it means it's not worth buying the disc yet.

My routine:1. Check for the titles.2. Check for scratches and defects on the shiny side of the DVD.3. Have you choice be tested on their DVD player.4. Haggle. Currently, it's P70 ($1.30) per disc. If bundled into three purchases, you can get them for P65 ($1.20) each.5. Make sure they stamp/mark the DVD title insert, so if you return them, you can argue that it was from their store that you've bought the disk from because if not, they can play that Shylock argument that you "might have bought it from other stalls."An otaku shopping for anime;There are lots of films to choose from. Just remember to have the presence of mind on what to buy and a limited budget for your trip, so that you won't indulge on impulse buying. It's difficult to control oneself once you're there, especially if you have been afflicted with the shopping bug.

Many of the films being peddled in Quiapo are:1. Unreleased Hollywood films a. copied from a promotional discb. copied inside a theater2. Released Hollywood films (copied from the original DVD)3. Classics (Hitchcock, Kurosawa, war movies, etc.)4. Arthouse films (infrequent, scarce supply, rare titles) ex. Criterion collection5. Asian foreign films (Korean, Japanese)Raids are frequent in Quiapo.

However, if Edu and his cohorts have a scheduled raid, more or less, the sellers have already been tipped off and are extremely vigilant during that particular day. You can see them talking about the impending raid, having boxes readied, and their supplies are not 100% displayed. Besides, if a raid ensues, the news spreads like wildfire and within a span of five minutes, all of the shops are closed. Should you encounter one such raid, then simply head to the nearest convenience store and take cover.So, be sure to send a postcard on your next trip to Quiapo.

Pagpunta ko sa place overwhelming talaga yung dami ng pirated stuff,VCDs,MP3s,CDs, VCDs and all the gadgets.I studied in Manila pero takot talaga ko pumunta sa Quiapo kaya I am not really familiar with the place.Notorious kasi ang lugar na ito sa dami ng mandurukot at manloloko.Kaya the moment I got there,talagang maingat talaga ko sa pera at cellphone ko.Pati bag ko yakap yakap ko.

Pumasok ako sa street na malapit sa Mini Stop gaya ng sabi sa treasure map ko.Sa street na yun dikit dikit na yung mga nagtitinda ng pirated stuff.Sa bungad pa lang may magaalok na sayo "Boy poren, tripol ex gusto mo?".hehe.

Sa totoo lang sa dami ng movies na nandon ang hirap magisip kung anong bibilhin mo.I should have prepared myself a list ng mga movies na gusto kong panoorin.Kasi mahirap magtanong sa mga tindera,"may movie ba kayo na ganito?"Pag medyo old na yung movie at hindi sila familiar sasabihin nilang wala kaya kailangan mo talagang iscan ng mga mata mo yung mga nakadisplay.Mostly mga movies na bago lang or being shown in movie theaters yung mga nakadisplay so kailangan matiyaga ka maghanap.

Pati mga Korean, Chinese, art films,television series meron sila like Sex and the City, Smallville,CSI,Alias,Queer as Folk,Memories of Bali,Hotelier.Meron ding mga concerts,music videos and documentaries.Kompleto talaga.Pero kahit na naoverwhelm ako sa dami ng mga DVDs I only got myself Pulp Fiction by Quentin tarantino,Y tu mama tambien,Korean flicks like My Sassy Girl,Windstruck and Crazy Love.I am not really into korean flicks pero dahil kay Ferdie nacurious tuloy ako why he go gaga over these Korean movies and series.hehe.check ko nga ano meron dito.

ewan ko.Wala naman akong time manood ng DVD sa mga panahong ito so nagisip rin ako na huwag mag pakaimpulsive buyer besides isang beses ko lang papanoorin.But still next saturday, attack na naman ako sa Quiapo at maghahanda na ko ng list of movies na gusto kong panoorin.hehe.Aja.

Of Bob Ong,Audrey Hepburn,Galera and Badinggerzie.

Went home from work early today.Its not the usual Monday in the sense that call volume was pretty low,(isa itong himala)and I had no sup call last night because I manage to pacify them.I just tell them to shut up.Kidding.'Yung dating "lunok lang laway ang pahinga" eh kagabi pwede ka ng tumingin sa katabi mo ng mga dalawang minuto.

Hindi na ko nagovertime kanina.When I got home, i immediately opened my PC 'cause I have to fix my blog's template for the nth time.To my surprise I don't have Internet load already.Dyaran.Bummer.So tulog na lang ako.

Tulog.Tulog.Tulog.

So ano nga bang pinagkakaabalahan ko aside from blogging galore?

I have been reading Bob Ong's "Ang Paboritong Aklat ni Hudas."I am already on the 79th page pero so far hindi pa ko naaliw.Mas maganda pa rin yung first two books,ABNKKBS N PL AKO and Bakit baligtad Magbasa ng Libro ang mga Pilipino?Anyway nasa dulong pages pa siguro yung mga punchlines ni pareng Bob Ong.Hihintayin ko na lang.

I watched Audrey Hepburn's Breakfast at Tiffany's last night.Ayoko na magpakafilm critic na naman ngayon.Carry lang yung movie.Basta ang masasabi ko lang Audrey Hepburn is one of the prettiest faces in Hollywood.The way she dress up and carry herself,walang kaeffort effort.And maganda yung "Moon River" na song nung movie.Don't ask me if the movie is good or not.

Meg invited me to go to Galera on the 30th.Two days daw together with some of her friends.I said I'm interested to join.Pero wrong timing talaga 'tong c Meggy.Kung kailan bumabagyo na and everything saka napagtripan ng lola mo na magbeach.Sabi nya bagyo or raining,tuloy daw.May sayad yata 'to eh.Anyway I might join na rin siguro,tutal I have never been to Puerto galera.

Oist nga pala, about our angel,may pangalan na siya.Her name is Sofia Annica.Kung saan nakuha ng sister ko ang name nung bata ay hindi ko alam.Cute naman yung Sofia na name eh.Pero angel pa rin ang itatawag ko sa kanya not that I like Angel Locsin, haha pero she's really an Angel for me.

I really needed a break.Balak ko na magfile ng VL.Gusto ko sana pumunta ng baguio kaso nakakalungkot.ano ko magisa lang pupunta 'dun..Baka mabagsakan lang ako ng landslide.Paranoid haha.Umuulan ulan pa.Lungkot.Bakit kaya tuwing umuulan,iba 'yung sadness na nararamdaman mo.Totoo yung nasa blog ni badinggerzie.About the rain galore.haha.May kakaibang sadness.

Plugging:Nga pala to those reading my blog visit the blog of badinggerzie.Aliw yung blog na yun.I have been looking for a blog na ganun matagal na,minsan na akong naaliw sa blog ni Chona mae banaag kaso huminto na magsulat yung writer.:(.Anyway for kabadingan and everything just go hit the link ayt ni badinggerzie?Para kang nanonood ng stand up comedy ,promise with kaunting kadramahan on the side.Aliw.

So ayun, wala na kong masasabi.I better post this now bago pa magloko yung blogger.Ilang beses na rin akong nabiktima na pagkakahaba haba ng tinype ko tapos biglang nagloko yung blogger,goodbye na lang sa mga memories ng mga sinulat mo.

'Yun lang po maraming salamat.Sa uulitin.
Toinks.

Pinoy/ Blonde dares to be different ???

Unitel Pictures is known for coming up with movies that go against current trends.Movies that are different.Think of Sharon Cuneta’s "Crying Ladies," Angelica Panganiban’s "Santa Santita," and Robin Padilla’s "La Visa Loca," all of them well-received. I have seen "Crying Ladies" and for me,it is really one the best Filipino movies of all time

.

And so I went to Sm Marilao yesterday to see Unitel Pictures' newest film, "Pinoy Blonde" topbilled by Epi and Boy 2 Quizon, playing two film school geeks who get entangled with the underworld."Pinoy/Blonde" is a collaboration of Peque Gallaga and Lore Reyes.I dunno but everytime the names of these directors were mentioned,what comes to mind is Shake Rattle and Roll sequels.Although I know Peque Gallaga made a film that was a hit during the 70's,I forgot the title though.

"Hindi typical Pinoy film" the blurb reads. According to an Inquirer review,the promotion has been claiming that "To say that Pinoy/Blonde is not your typical Pinoy film is an understatement", however the effect of the brocka-bernal debate on the target 14-29 demographic remains to be seen.I have to agree.

I was disappointed seeing the movie.The movie is pretentious in a lot of ways ,pilit when it comes to acting,hilaw pagdating sa script.Dont get me wrong,I have seen a lot of Filipino films who really dares to be different.And Pinoy Blonde is not one of these.

Nagconcentrate ba sila sa visuals at pagcacast ng maraming artista para bumenta? It had no script, just a bunch of quotes from hollywood movie and yung Brocka-Bernal dialogue/debate ay nakakairita,paulit ulit,nakakasawa.The only saving grace of the movie was Jaime Fabregas.And maybe the polished visuals.maganda talaga,opening pa lang,visually stimulating na.Hindi ko man lang na feel 'yung presence ni Eddie Garcia.Pilit yung pagkawitty ni Boy 2 and Ipe.Sorry this is my first film review on my blog pero sobrang mean ko.hahaha.

Once again, another all-hype pinoy movie.Maybe that's why yung ibang kasama ko sa sinehan,hindi na tinapos yung movie.I stayed and finished the movie.And yes,I wont recommend it to my friends.If they want a good sleep in the cinema,maybe.

I am glad that local producers like Unitel Pictures are actually making movies like this"who dares to be different"Well...hope they will actually make a good different movie next time.Sana kung may battlecry man na "not a typical Pinoy movie" ay makikita mo talaga pag pinanood mo yung movie.Sana hindi dinaan sa publicity.

I'm hoping.

Angel

May bagong anghel na dumating sa pamilya namin. At hindi man namin siya kadugo pero ituturing ko siya na hindi iba sa amin.Isa siyang anghel na matagal na naming hinihintay.

Matagal ng mag-asawa ang kapatid ko na si Ate Rina at bayaw ko na si Kuya Arnel. Siguro mahigit kumulang na rin silang sampung taon na nagsasama. Dalawang beses na nakunan si ate.Dalawang beses na siyang pinagkaitan ng dalawang anghel na sana'y naglalaro na dito sa bahay sa Bulacan tuwing Linggo kasama ng dalawa kong pamangkin na si Nica, Detdet at ang isip bata nilang Tito.

Nalulungkot ako pag naiisip ko ang hindi pagkakaroon ng anak ni Ate. Alam ko rin na nasasaktan ang bayaw ko kapag nakakantiyawan siya ng Kuya ko at ng isa ko pang bayaw na si Kuya Jeff ng "ang hina mo naman pare."Isa yung malaking insulto. Hindi ko rin alam kung nakakatulong ba yung mga suhestiyon namin sa kanila na magsayaw sila sa Obando at magalay ng itlog kay Sta.Clara para magkaanak.Masyado kasing mapamahiin ang pamilya ko.Maaring minsan ay naiinis na din sila dahil naprepressure sila sa amin sa pangungulit namin sa kanila ng bagong baby.

Kung ilang beses na ring komunsulta si ate sa doktor.Regular nga ang check up nya sa St . Lukes.May mga injection at gamot din na binigay sa kanya.At bukod sa kanya ginagamot din yung bayaw ko.Sabi daw ng doktor mahina ang bilang semilya nito.Kaya kailangan talaga ng effort para dito at siyempre maraming pera.Matagal na ang gamutan na ito pero hanggang ngayon wala pang resulta at naghihintay pa rin kami.

Although mga bata pa naman sila at hindi nawawalan ng pag-asa tungkol dito,madalas imungkahi ng mga kapatid ko na magampon sila para may magalaga sila sa pagtanda.Meron pa nagsabi na yun daw ang magiging dahilan na magkaroon pa sila ng maraming anak.Pero siguro out of pride, ayaw ng bayaw ko na magampon.Iba pa rin daw yung kadugo niya.Si Ate gusto niya pero dahil ayaw ng asawa, ay sunod na lang siya.

Isang kamaganak ang nagsabi sa amin na may kakilala siya na manganganak sa buwan na ito at gustong ipaampon ang ipinagbubuntis niya.Malapit lang ang bahay nito sa amin.Ilang beses na rin kasi nitong sinubukang ipalaglag yung bata.Sampu na ang kanyang anak,at panglabingisa yung dinadala nya.'Yung tipikal na kuwento ng kahirapan.Ang gusto lang daw niya ay pamasahe papuntang Visayas,pambayad sa huling upa sa bahay at pagkatapos ay lalayo na siya sa lugar namin.

Naging interesado ang nanay ko doon.Naisip nya yung kapatid kong babae na matagal na nananabik na mgakaroon ng anak.Pinasubaybayn nya yung babae,inalam yung background,at nakipagusap sa isa pang kakilala na sabihin na merong interesado magampon sa ipinagbubuntis nya.Kahit kailan hindi nakipagusap o nakipagkilala si nanay dun sa babae.Hinayaan nyang iba ang makipagusap para sa kanya.Para nga naman kung sakaling magkaroon ng bawian eh hindi malaman kung sino talaga yung nagampon.Inalam din ni nanay kung ano ba yung mga papel na dapat lakarin para sa pagaampon.Napagkasunduan na si nanay na nga ang kukuha dun sa bata.At ibibigay nga to sa kapatid kong babae.

July 11.Mismong kaarawan ni nanay,sinabi samin na naglalabor na yung babae.Pinabantayan namin yung bata at kinuha pa ng midwife.Wala pa yatang isang oras ay dinala na sya sa bahay.Naawa ako dun sa bata at naawa din ako dun sa nanay.Hindi man lang kasi nakita nung nanay kahit daliri ng anak nya.At yung tatay naman nung bata,hindi man lang sinilip yung anak nya.Ipapaampon din naman daw yung bata kaya wala na siyang pakialam.Anong klaseng magulang ba ang may ganun klaseng pagiisip?Bakit kailangan ipaampon ang bata na para lang nagpapamigay ng aso?

Naisip ko tuloy nung mga oras na yun,tama ba na ampunin namin yung bata?Pero bigla ko ring naisip na mas magiging maayos ng buhay nya sa kapatid ko.Mas matutugunan yung pangangailangan niya.Marami na kong kuwento naririnig na kuwento tungkol sa mga inaaampon at alam kong isa sa mga dahilan ay ang kahirapan ng mga magulang.sana maintindihan ito nung bata paglaki nya.

Nung makita ko ang bagong anghel na to, parang gusto kong mapaluha sa tuwa.Tinawag ko nga siyang Angel,kahit wala pang pangalan na binbigay sa kanya.Napakaganda at nakaputi ng balat ng bata.Napakasarap tignan ng maamo nyang mukha .Sobrang payapa.Kaya't nung natutulog siya wala akong ginawa kundi titigan ang mukha niya.Gusto ko siyang kargahin at yakapin pero natatakot ako dahil parang napakalambot ng buo nyang katawan .Gusto kong isipin na ako ang ama niya.Kapag umiiyak siya naaawa ako sa kanya.Iniisip ko na baka kalangan nya yung nanay nya.Sabi ko sana wag na lang syang kunin ni Ate.Sana sa akin na lang siya.

Bigla tuloy sumagi sa isip ko ang tungkol sa pagaampon at pagkakaroon ng anak,handa na ba akong magkaroon nito?Marami sa kaedad ko at mas bata pa sa akin na may mga anak na.Pero alam kung hindi pa ako handa at iniisip ko na ayokong lumabas ang anak ko sa mundo ng hindi napaghandaan.Dahil hindi pa ko handa bilang magulang kaya't hindi ko maibibigay ng maayos yung pangagailangan niya o kaya'y humantong pa na ipaampon ko sya sa iba,na hindi ko gugustuhin na mangyari .

Para sa akin kakitiran din ang konsepto ng iba na ang pagkakaroon ng anak ay upang may mag-alaga lamang sa'yo sa pagtanda.Iyon nga ba talaga ang dahilan ng pagkakaroon nito?

Nung gabi ding iyon kinuha na ang anghel sa bahay.Parang pinahiram lang sya sa amin ng ilang oras at kinuha na sya ni Ate.Ipapaalaga daw sa pediatrician.Naiintindihan ko.Alam kong natatakot sila na baka makita pa nung Nanay dahil malapit lang dito sa bahay yung tinitirahan nito.Nalungkot ako.Kahit ilang oras ko lang binantayan ang batang ito,sobrang napalapit na siya sa akin.

Alam kong matatagalan bago kami magkitang muli pero alam kung sa mga susunod pang mga buwan,makasama ko din ang anghel na ito.May bago na naman kaming magiging kalaro ni Nica at Detdet.

For your Birthday

Alam kong masyado ng nagiging mabilis at kumplikado ang takbo ng buhay para sa akin. Alam kung hindi ko namamalayan na sa maraming pagkakataon ay nababalewala kita.Alam kung kulang ang pagpapasalamat o maging pagtanaw ng utang na loob.Sa dami ng sakripisyo mo,sa mga bagay na ginawa mo sa aming lima,makapagsusulat ako ng ilang aklat na naglalaman ng mga bagay-bagay na magaganda at dakila patungkol sa'yo.Para sa akin hindi ka man bayani,hindi ka man sikat pero walang papalit sa 'yo.Nagiisa ka.Kaya't sa pagkakataong ito,gusto kong malaman mo kung gaano ka kahalaga at kamahal para sa akin.

Dahil ikaw ang tanging naniniwala sa mga kakayahan ko.Lagi mong bukambibig ang pangalan ko sa mga kaibigan kahit mukha namang hindi sila interesado sa kuwento mo.Lagi mong ibinibida sa kanila na ako ay iskolar at marunong.Kahit pa nga sutil at pasaway.Pero natutuwa ako dahil proud ka sa akin.

Dahil tinitiis mo ang pagdadahilan ko na nagmamadali ako at sa office na lang ako kakain.Pero ang totoo hindi ko nagustuhan ang luto mo.Kaya nung minsan sinabi mo,hindi mo na alam kung ano ang lulutuin mo,baka hindi ko rin naman magustuhan.Alam kung nasasaktan ka dahil parang hindi ko naapreciate nag effort mo.Lagi mo ring inaalala kung masarap ba ang ulam o hindi.Matiyaga kang nagluluto.Kahit pa pintasero ako pagdating sa pagkain.Pero sana alam mo na lagi kong ipinagmamalaki sa mga kaofficemate ko na luto mo ang baon ko.

Dahil sa pagbili mo sa mga pagkaing gusto ko kapag may sakit ako.Kahit pa kung magutos ako parang may katulong ako sa bahay.Pero talagang napakasarap ng feeling na kapag may sakit ka ay may nagaalaga sayo.

Dahil pinagkakasya mo yung kakarampot na binibigay ko sa'yo pag araw ng sweldo.Kahit pa inuuna ko yung luho ko kesa makapagbigay sayo ng mas malaki.Pero yung ngiti na nakikita ko kapg nakapagbigay ako ng kahit na maliit na halaga ay nagpapamotivate sakin na magsipag sa trabaho.

Dahil matiyaga mo kong hinihintay kapag lumalabas ako sa gabi.Kahit pa lagi kong dinadahilan na lalaki naman ako at matanda na.Pero hindi ka nagsasawa na maghintay at hindi matulog malaman lang na safe ako dumating.

Dahil pinalaki mo kaming lima na may takot sa Diyos,edukado,may respeto sa kapwa,marunong tumanaw ng utang na loob at makisama sa kahit na anong uri ng tao.Kahit na ang iba sa amin ay talaga namang pasaway ang paguugali.Pero ni minsan hindi ko nakita na may paborito ka o pinapanigan sa amin kapag may nagkakamali.

Dahil nagampanan mo ng mabuti ang papel mo.Sabi nga ng matalik kong kaibigan na si Christian,sana naipapalit ang Nanay dahil kung puwedeng mamili ikaw ang pipiliin nya.Noon ko narealized kung gaano ako kapalad dahil ikaw ang pinili ng nasa itaas para maging Nanay ko.

At sa araw na ito, na alam kong napakahalaga sa'yo,binabati kita kita ng maligayang kaarawan.Nawa'y biyayaan ka pa ng mahabang buhay ng nasa Itaas.MAHAL NA MAHAL KITA NANAY.=)

Weekend in Chinatown

Buong akala ko talaga ay sa Binondo kami kakain kahapon.At naisip ko na isang Chinese restaurant ang kakainan namin.Ang alam ko lang kasing Chinatown eh yung nasa Sta Cruz Manila.Hindi pala ito ung Chinatown.Ang sinasabi pala ng kapatid ko na Chinatown ay isang buffet restaurant na nasa Banaue QC.Eat all you can ang gimik nila.At hindi lang Chinese food ang putahe, may japanese at Filipino din.Pero parang napamahal yata kami,430 per person kasi.Eh hindi naman ako kalakasang kumain.hehe.Pagkatapos ay may dalawa pa kaming batang kasama.

Pagdating namin doon ng ala una,napakarami ng tao.Parang may piyesta.Nagpareserve na kami ng isang table para sa buong pamilya.Kailangan kasi ng reservation dito dahil sobrang daming tao lalo na pag Linggo.Hindi pa nagiinit ang puwet ko ay sumugod na ko sa buffet table.Napakaraming pagkain,70 putahe ba naman.Balak kong tikman lahat.Hindi ko nga alam kung ano ang pangalan nung iba nakahain sa mesa.Basta alam ko mukha silang masarap.May para sa mga carnivorous, vegetarian at para sa tulad kung kumakain ng kahit ano.Omnivorous ba tawag dun?Basta alam ko masiba ang tawa sa'kin ng kapatid ko.Minsan naman PG ang tawag nila sa kin.haha.

Takaw tingin lang talaga ako.Yung iba kasi, napakasap tignan,pero pag natikman mo wala namang lasa,maganda lang talaga ang food presentation.Halos mapuno ko ang pinggan ko pagbalik.Kalahati pa lang ng plato ang nauubos ko ay busog na ko.Balak pa naman namin magcompete ni Kuya sa pagkain.Kaya't nung tinignan ako ng kuya ko,biniro nya ko na "No sharing at no leftover" kung hindi ay doble ang babayaran namin.Sinabi kong nagpakabihasa ako sa Harvard para sa kursong dishwashing.Mabuti na lang katabi ko ang pamangkin ko na limang taon lang pero pang malaking tao na kung kumain.Kaya kahit pa no sharing ay pinaghatian naming dalawa yung kinakain ko.Sulit na sulit talaga yung binayad namin sa pagkain nya.Sa pagitan ng kainan,kuwentuhan kami na magkakapatid pati na nung dalawa kong bayaw.Ito ang bonding naming lima,ang pagkain.Dito lahat kami nagkakasundo.Si nanay kasi mahilig magluto.Pero ayaw na namin syang pagurin ngayon.Dati kasi sa Bulacan madalas magmeet ang buong pamilya.Doon na rin ang kainan, inuman at lahat lahat.

Tatlo na ang pamangkin ko at puro sila babae, si Nica, Detdet, at Nicole.Ang pinakahuli naming baby ay itong si Nicole.May balak yatang magampon yung isa kung kapatid na babae.Matagal na kasi silang walang anak nung bayaw ko.Ikukuwento ko ito sa susunod na post ko.

Pagkatapo ubusin ang pagkain sa plato,sunod naming nilantakan yung mga panghimagas marami din,may icecream,halohalo,mais con hielo,leche plan,sari saring cookies at iba pa.Kaya't busog na busog talaga ko.Sabay na kami umuwi ni Nanay,malas pa nga ang nasakyan naming FX,nakotongan na nga ng MMDA enforcer,naflatan pa ng gulong sa gitna ng North Lluzon expressway.Nakauwi kami ng bahay ng alas tres,nagpagupit muna ako at pagkatapos ay natulog na.gawain ng batugan at masisibang tulad ko ahehe.Pero iyon na yata ang huling eat all you can na kakainan ko.Marahil sa mga ispesyal na okasyon lang.Masasabi ko pa rin na hindi sya praktikal,sa hirap ng buhay ngayon.

That's how I spent an enjoyable weekend with my family.How about you?

Umuwi ka na baby

Meg,my team mate has been looking for the title of this song and finally I got the chance to hear that song kanina sa FX on my way home from Megamall.Orange and lemons ang pangalan ng band,I haven't seen the music video yet.Natutuwa lang ako pag kinakanta to ni Meg specially yung line na "Umuwi ka na baby...".Cuteness. So I looked for the lyrics sa google kanina and hindi pala umuwi ka na baby ang title ng song gaya ng akala ko.The title is Hanggang kailan from the album Strike Whilst The Iron Is Hot.Pansin ko,madami na namang promising bands ang lumalabas.I hope one of these days mapakinggan ko lahat ng album nila this band Orange and Lemons.Masa yata ang market nila, pansinin nyo yung lyrics.

HANGGANG KAILAN

Orange and Lemons

Labis na naiinip

Nababagot sa bawat saglit

Kapag naaalala ka

Wala naman akong magawa...
Umuwi ka na baby

Di na ako sanay ng wala ka

Mahirap ang mag-isa

At sa gabi'y hinahanap hanap kita...
Hanggang kailan ako maghihintay

Na makasama kang muli

Sa buhay kong puno ng Paghihirap

At tanging ikaw lang ang

Pumapawi sa mga luha

Naglalagay ng ngiti sa mga labi...

Di mapigilang mag-isip

O baka sa tagal

Mahulog ang loob mo sa iba

Nakaka balisa

Knock on wood wag naman sana...

Umuwi ka na baby

Di na ako sanay ng wala ka

Mahirap ang mag-isa

At sa gabi'y hinahanap hanap kita...

Hanggang kailan ako maghihintay

Na makasama kang muli

Sa buhay kong puno ng Paghihirap

At tanging ikaw lang ang Pumapawi sa mga luha

Naglalagay ng ngiti sa mga labi...

[instumental...]

I went to SM Megamall kanina to use the 1000 Bench GC na nakuha ko because of commendations from some customers.At least may mga nauuto pa pala ako .I got myself one cream shirt,one polo shirt with black and white stripes,Pure play that cologne being endorsed by Xtian Baustista,one bench body brief and oil absorbent tissue.Not bad.For one thousand angdami ko nang nabili,este naipalit pala haha.Nagikot ikot pa ko sa Megamall,kaya naman nakauwi na ko ng 3pm dito sa bahay.Sobrang sakit na ng paa ko at pagod na ko pero nagawa ko pang maginternet so mga 5pm na ko nakatulog.Nagising na ko ng 1am.Hindi na ko nakapagdinner,inabot na ko ng umaga.Balak ko pa naman yayain si Bes na gumimik dahil parang nanunuyo na lalamunan ko, kailngan na yata ng alkohol kaso sobrang pagod talaga ko.At ngayon alas singko na ng madaling araw ay gising pa rin ako to think nakailangan naming umalis ni Nanay ng alas 8 dahil pupunta kami sa brother ko sa Valenzuela,doon magkikita kita ang mga magkakapamilya at magkakapuso,este ang mga kapatid ko.Birthday kasi ni Nanay sa July 11,monday so maglulunch nalang kami today sa Chinatown sa Binondo,chinese restaurant daw sabi ng sister ko.Sana lang maenjoy ko yung food nila dun,although kumakain ako ng siomai,pansit,pero ung iba kasi pagkaing Tsinoy walang appeal sakin.Pero bahala na walang chinese chinese food mamaya, sa gutom na sikmura.Aba rhyme ito.Lafang ito kung lafang.Aja.hehe.

Waiting for a call

Since everybody here in the office seems to be engrossed in their call and i got no one to talk to (well,i am waiting for another irate caller disputing again their gaddammit bill) i took a break and think of something I can post on my blog later.I should have named my blog "a weekly update of el bulakenyo's life".obviously u can see on the entries' dates that i don't update my blog on a daily basis since i've been preoccupied with work (with work nga ba?)or busy logging z's (sleeping) on my bed.But since i am really in the blogging mood this past few days so even in the office or while on a call i will make an excuse to the customer so i can put him on hold and type something on the notepad.haha.

We have been receiving a lot of bill dispute calls these days.Just to let u know i am working as a call center rep for a utility provider client based in the US.I'm actually working in an outsourced call center located in Global City.Just imagine how stressful this job can be.You really need to make a lot of bola to convince them that they are just being billed for something they just consumed achuchuchers added with spiel galore.why can't they understand that if they are using their ACs a lot during summer time,electric consumption will also get high as well as their bill?Ano sila anak ng diyos na makakalibre sa kuryente?In this kind of job, you also have to get used to these lines you hear on almost every call "My bill is so high, I'll switch to another provider." To which my answer is "OK,go ahead Sir". Just kidding. They will usually get irate when you tell how much their bill is they'l say "Say what?There sumthin wrong with your accent.Can I speak with your supervisor." My golly its a simple billing inquiry,what the hell is that you don't understand?

Well to those who haven't try working in a call center, I gotta remind you,if you are fainthearted, sensitive,or not used of being ridiculed this is not the job for you.Only when I work here did I get to learn a lot of American cuss words.Such as @#**! .I learned a lot of these words that i often used against them if I am really pissed off.Of course i have to use the mute button for that .

A while ago I had a call,the name of the caller was Dorothy garcia and she's calling from california.She was surprised to know that she's actually talking to someone in the Philippines.I had this gut feeling that she's a kababayan right at the beginning of the call.I only confirmed that when she started speaking in Tagalog.She said,"Sabi ko na nga ba Pilipino ka?!kaya nagtataka ako,angdami dami kong nakakausap na Pilipino sa customer service nakakatuwa naman.nasa pasig ba kayo?yadayadayada"if you can hear the excitement in her voice.Meg, my team mate who is sitting beside me heard her talking ."Masyado namang madaldal yan ,"Meg said.Then i explained to her that we are not allowed to gave our location and speak in our mother tongue.Honestly,I also feel excited everytime I get the chance to talk to a Pinoy caller.Sobrang warm kasi sila pag nalamang Pilipino ang kausap nila.Siguro parang it makes them feel na napakalapit lang ng Pinas.I am looking forward of talking to a kababayan.It's actually a break from some Americans who think that all the agents they are talking to are some dumb agent from India.Well,at some instances I will be humiliated with their racist remarks.And once in a blue moon lang kasi na magkaroon ako ng caller ng Pinoy,so ang saya talaga.

Pero yung iba pa ,according to a co-agent, idedeny na Pinoy sila.Eh obvious naman sa accent.Malamag sa ngayon marami ang magdedeny na Pinoy sila.Sino nga ba naman ang magiging proud?With all the political chaos that's been on going,I dont think there's still something that should be proud of.I remember ,the other week because of the crisis that's happening on our country,I had on my wish list that i hope i will be given the chance to choose my nationality.I will never wanted to be a filipino at this point of time.Sobrang gulo,I don't wanna watch the news tuloy because mas masstress lang ako lalo.and dahil sa rally rally na yan sa edsa last night (some political groups were calling for an EDSA 3 or 4 , i dunno??) nalate tuloy ako sa work.

Anyway i better answer my call now.wish me luck,here we go again...

Happy 4th of July.

When it is a holiday in the US,i love to go to work.That is because holdiday means petiks or less calls for us working in call center.People in the US would think kasi na call centers are also on a holiday.Kung alam lang nila na nasa 'Pinas lang kami.Pero kung petiks ngayon the next day expected na namin na ngarag na naman kami.Pero this is it,samantalahin habang petiks.I have been workin on the layout of my blog for a couple of hours already.I think i changed my blog skin for four times already.Wala lang I was trying to achieve that clean,simple pero may dating na look so I settle for this one.Tapos,siyempre I need to recall my HTML and javascript codes pa,eh nabakasyon na yata utak ko.The last entry on my old blog was last November 2004 pa.I dunno bigla akong sinipag uli magblog ngaun.I linked some of blogs from my friends in friendster and 'yung iba jan are blogs na madalas kong binabasa although I dunno these people personally.If you guys want to be added on the list,just message me.I'll be more than happy to add u.So I will consider this one as a new blog na rin.I am happy with its look already.Pero now the big problem I am facing is what to write?ahehe.When I am not in front of my PC,I got a lot of things in mind.But the moment I open my notepad,I suddently lost all the thoughts na naiisip ko.And sometimes nagtatalo ang isip ko,will I say this or shall I keep this private?Also,I think I am not born to be a writer talaga.Pero I do appreciate all the nice blogs na nababasa ko,there are a lot of bloggers out there who can really write well.I wish I have the talent.Back to your regular programming.There's nothing new really.Everyday I go to work.Take in calls.Rendered OT sometimes.And that is because the account is giving $25 incentive to those who can complete a 10 hours of OT per week.Not bad eh?Same call center slave.No social life.No time for gimiks.The time I will have for gimiks will be spent on sleeping big time.And the only way I connect with friends is thru friendster.The internet is really a boon for us call center dummies.I even dunno how the a Television looks like nowadays.exagg.Well I am not complaining though.I choose to work in a call center so I have to suffer this lifetime.You know what,sometimes I think that you really need to sacrifice a lot of things when you are working in a call center.Less time spend with your family and friends.Specially pag may special occasion,I always reason out that that I have to work and I can't be with them na matagal.Ilang invitations na rin ang nadecline ko because of this work.However, I am really doing my best to make up with them.So hope you guys would understand if I always use my work as an excuse.Ganun talaga kailangan ko po kumayod.Mahirap na po ang buhay.Lalo pa yata akong pumapayat ngayon.I think its time for me to look for an apartment para magboard ako.Nakakapagod din yung pagbiyabiyahe ko from Bulacan to Global City.Minsan nakakatulog na ko sa FX at lumalagpas sa dapat kong babaan.I have been doing this for eight months na.Isa pa naman sa mga wishlist ko eh tumaba kahit maggain lang ng kaunting pounds.Bahala na si Batman,i still have to look for a roommate kasi I dont wanna shoulder all the expenses.
Hmmm,I wonder how my friends are? Hope u guys are enjoying your lives.Please check out my blog if u do have time.
Brace yourselves for more boring stuff to come.Till my next post...
