"Happy HaLLoweEn!!!" =p

Halloween na naman! Of course, every year pumupunta kami sa Manila Memorial Park together with friends... Dun kami sa Kapatid nila Kuya Marc... Minsan pag nagkayayaan, over night ang plano namin, bitbit ang guitar tas dami pagkain, saya talaga... Syempre hindi mawawala ang trip namin, anu pa??! eh di lumibot sa buong cemetery, tambay sa may "tower" tapos kantahan ulit ahahah..

Ang nakakatawa lang naman pag malapit na ang Halloween, eh yung mga palabas sa TV... nagkalat yung mga news na keso may sinasapian daw... eh ngayon lang naman lumalabas ang mga ganyang balita pag malapit na November 1 eh... wala pa yata ako nabalitaan na ganyan during summer nyahahaha...

Graphics & Myspace layouts

Isa pang nakakatawa, last week napanood ko yung episode ng Mel & Joey, syempre yung topic nga was about ghosts and spirits... wala lang, O.A. ng mga re-enactments =p... Meron din segment about dun sa namatay na UP student because of Hazing... Ang eksena nila ay meron psychic na expert sa paranormal blah blah... nasasapian daw siya nung UP student!!!! imagine?? tapos yung family members began asking questions dun sa paranormal expert which is nasasapian ng anak nila... the funny thing?? nasagot ng expert yung mga tanong, naghabilin pa!... pumunta daw sila sa mga places kung saan mahilig mamasyal yung family nila... eh kung ganon, bakit hindi nila tinanong kung sino yung mga totoong may kasalanan... mga taong responsible for his death! di ba?? eh di malalaman talaga sino may kasalanan... tsk

O cya, baka kala nyo serious ako dito sa post na ito... may mapost lang... ahahahah...


HAppY HalloWEen PeOple!!!!!! =p

"Sa MRT"

It was a rainy night, sobrang pagod talaga ako nun araw na yun... from school lumagare ako sa OJT sa Guadalupe, Makati... The public service area was full of people, crowded. That afternoon duty was really the toughest one, ako lang kasi ang intern that day, heto pa ang isang babae, maybe on her 30's, sabi niya saken sobrang tagal na daw niya dun sa station, 9am pa... eh 4pm na in the afternoon di pa daw siya natatawag... nakakatakot ... pandilatan ka ba naman ng mata at parang nagbabanta pa, "Sigurado ka bang matatawag ako? 'bigyan mo ako ng word from you na makakausap ko si Tulfo"... Tanungin ba naman ako ng mga ganun... Anyways naging polite nalang ako and honest, sabi ko nalang "Hindi po kayo lalabas ng building na hindi nakangiti"... Mabuti naman, paglabas niya ng booth eh todo smile naman siya, nag thank you pa sa akin... I whispered to myself, "No, thank GOD" .

Uwian na... Kakatapos lang ng programa sa Radio Station, almost 8 o'clock na in the evening, she went out of the station earlier than me.
Outside, the rain noxiously drop itself, as if it wouldn't stop. I decided to catch a train ride, wala kasi akong payong, I'll get wet pag nag-Bus ako. While waiting for the train, I found myself thinking, asking, when will it end?? Im not talking about the rain... but the way things are happening... Kailangan ko na bang sumuko?... Do I have to make another move? Kausapin ko kaya? what if I do so?, will she treat me good, like before? or perpetuate a cold shoulder??

Suddenly the rain stopped, the train Im waiting arrived, but I failed to get on it, ang weird, di ako nakagalaw para pumasok. Iniwan ako ng train, pagkalagpas, nagulat ako sa nakita ko, there she was on the other side of the train station, walking... I dont know if she noticed me on the other side, I was pleased to see her. Bigla nalang dumating yung MRT sa kabila at pag-alis wala na rin siya. Right then and there, I realized it could never be, pagkakataon na mismo nagpakita sakin ng reality, totally opposites, baliktad na ang mundo.. iba ang biyahe ng train niya, nakakatawa, pero sana kung may chance pa, maging maayos na ang lahat, parang dati...


AT dahil diyan... Soapdish "maestro"!

"THE BITTER, THE BETTER... ehem"

"Wala nag mas sasarap pa sa papaitan na sobrang pait"... yan ang narinig ko nang minsan kumain ako sa carinderia sa Guadalupe. Sa bawat higop ng sabaw ng katabi ko, sabay sa saliw ng awiting "Remember Me " ni Renz Verano, bigla ako napaisip, pwede kaya i-apply ang ganitong concept sa tunay na buhay??

Bilang tao, isa tayong indibidwal, meron kanya-kanyang pananaw, iba't ibang pagkatao. Ang gusto ng isa ay maaring taliwas sa ikasasaya ng iba. Sabi nga nila, kailangan mo lang matutong sumunod sa alon...makibagay, makisama... pero how long??

Let's admit it, we cant deny that each one of us has their own share of bitterness... pede sa isang bagay, and of course to someone... Pero ang tanong binigyan ba natin sila ng chance para malaman kung bakit sila ganun?? If yes, naging sapat ba ito para masabing may karapatan tayo manghusga? "Lahat tayo ay hindi perpekto, lahat tayo ay may shortcomings kung tawagin... minsan hindi mo alam na nasa iyo pala ang problema... I heard sa isang guest speaker namin as isang class that you have to be sensible enough, ilagay mo ang iyong sarili sa taong kinaiinisan mo or sa taong kakaiba para sayo, para maintindihan mo ang sitwasyon niya, but not to the extent na niloloko mo na sarili mo at nagiging tupperware ka na... plastik... Dont judge others sabi rin ni direk...

We have to learn how to condone others. Of course, forgiveness, it takes time and sometimes long years of waiting, wag naman sana lifetime... When all things were said and done, tayo rin naman ang sasalo ng kung anuman ang kapalit. There's always a room for reconciliation... I believe that.

Its better not to be bitter, but for others being bitter is the maxim of their heart, it makes them feel disenthral... FREE... unchained from some frantic reasons, I dont know... Letting go of our odd mistakes and having a positive oulook for a fresh start is always helpful.

Umorder ako ng PAPAITAN pagkaalis ng katabi ko, napansin ko hindi naman pala papaitan yung inorder niya, iba itsura eh... PULUBE yan!... =p

"SAMANTALA"

Sa lahat ng pumunta sa wake ng mom ni Sir Ting... ito yung song na kinanta ko mula sa Publico... title nya "SAMANTALA" . At first, akala ko love song sya, pero pede rin kasi medyo romantic din naman yung dating... you can dedicate it to anyone you love at nawala because of some things that we cant avoid to happen, like falling-out of love or even death ... its a very warm song, eloquent at meaningful... especially the verse after the chorus, favorite ko talaga yun. "PAALAM NA, MAHAL KITA... PASENSYA NA, 'DI MO NAKITA"... very strong line... it teaches us to send our love to the one, let them feel it before its too late... sapul tayo lahat... aheheheh... Pasenya na kung hindi ko masyado na-deliver ng mahusay, ahahah, kabado ako, nahiya ako kay Sir Ting...first time ko kumanta sa burol, bagong experience... Heto yung song pakinggan nyo nalang... I provided the lyrics narin para masabayan nyo...

SAMANTALA

Bakit parang walang dahilan

Bigla na lang ang buhos ng ulan

Ng kapayapaan, kasiyahan

Ngunit bakit ako kinakabahan?

Nakita ko na ang magaganap

Hinding hindi ako bibitaw sa aking yakap

Nang magpakailanman ay

Hindi na maulit ang isang masamang panaginip

Isang gabing umiiyak, bigla nalang ika'y

Binawi sa akin

Sandal ka lang sabay ngiti

At sa kahit anung sandali

Paalam na, mahal kita

Pasensya na di mo nakita

Tinatawag ka na

Kailangan nang magpaalam sinta

Pero teka hintay

Ako nalang kaya ang sasakay

Condolence sa Family ni Sir Ting...
Maraming salamat din for being nice to us...

GOD BLESS!!!

WALA KA SA BIRTHDAY PARTY

Nothing compares to the joy Im feeling everytime I perform on stage. Sa totoo lang ako na yata ang pinakamahiyain na tao pede mong makilala. I cant help but smile whenever I remember a friend once told me ...

" Tanggalin mo ang hiya sa katawan mo... anu 'to birthday party? mahiya ka kung
nasa birthday party ka!"

...(Salamat Sultan JUN!) nyahahaha.. nga naman, madalas tayo nahihiya sa bday party db?? Since then, everytime im feelin' shy, iniisip ko wala ako sa birthday party... =p

Im comfortable naman being on stage, actually mas kinakabahan pa nga ako mag-recite sa school... (naalala ko tuloy ung debate... wala talaga ako sa sarili nun... ang saya ng kinalabasan... pulube talaga ) . There's one problem lang talaga tuwing may gig, lagi kasi pagkatapos ng set namin, there's always this tremendous (wow english! tnx jo! whahah) stomach pain, twice na siya nangyayari, the last 2 gigs namin... sakit sobra!


Teka anu ba talaga gusto ko ishare sa blog entry na to?? Ah alam ko na, share ko nalng isang experience ko sa isang tugtog namin. We went to a bar called "El Dorado" sa may Parañaque yun.. the place is so small and yung mga gamit talo talaga,(talo means "pangit")...
We were the 10th band to perform, grabe ang dami sasalang, di ko na matandaaan anu oras kami nakatuntong sa stage... ehehe.. One thing Ive noticed halos lahat ng nagperform puro "EMO" ang genre, wala manlang reggae, jazz or alternative. I almost thought of backing-out kasi nga baka makareceive kami ng BOOs and kantyaw... walang fan-based kumbaga aheheheh...

Yoko naman biguin yun mga kasama ko, kaya sige sugod lang, bahala na.. BTW kami pala yung type ng banda na hindi nagprapractice... tamang tugtugan lang.. =p Malapit na nga kamo magpalit ng band name.. nasa kongreso na pagbobotohan nalang... "NOTICE PRAC" (no practice).. tama nga ambaduy nga!

Ayan kami na sasampa sa entablado, still, I have this hesitation... pero ok game ako, bahala na kahit batuhin pa hahaha... I started the song with a single strum, and everyone was so quiet "PARE KO, MERON AKONG PROBLEMA... WAG MO SABIHING NANAMAN"... not until the chorus! "OH, DIYOS KO, ANU BA NAMAN ITO? DI BA" hindi ko napigilan banggitin ung "T" word! kasi yun talaga yung highlight nung kanta... Pagbigkas ko nun "T" word, I heard a surprising response from the crowd... "wohowh" wow meh audience impact ang mga loko... =p then they started to sing along... I was quite surprised with the reaction, kasi naman puro "EMO" and iba ung era when it comes to music ngayon, sad to say ang hina ng OPM ngayon.. and yet alam nila yung song, sumasabay pa... Iba talaga music ng Eheads, timeless. Its a dream come true for me to sing an EHEADS song sa isang gig....


Sana marami pang tugtog, tunog at kanta tayong pagsaluhan =]

"This was written months before the Eraserheads Reunion Concert... so wala
pa ako comment tungkol sa mga happenings.. get well soon ELY"

A NiGht at MOA

"Kung nagtataka kayo bakit may blank sa previous
post... meron kasi ako dapat ilalagay dun kaso... hindi naman totoo...
wala rin kwenta blog ko... tsk... nyahahah... so
I left a blank page..."

I dropped by the Mall of Asia after my OJT... actually hindi ko tinapos yung dapat 8pm na labas ko dun, dahil sa fireworks aheheheh... =p

I arrived there sa "seaside" at the exact time the boat was arranging the barge with the fireworks on it.

As what I expected, the SMB by the bay was jampacked with people waiting for what I was also waiting for, the 7pm fireworks display...

Voice over: Welcome to the SM mall of Asia fireworks display blah
blah blah... (sorry hindi ko talaga memorize ung spiel
nyahahah)...

Then everyone was excited by the sudden sound of the big voice.. and in everyone's delight the background music began to play "We are the Champions"...


While the fireworks started to make their time to shine syndrome... I heard some people talking, shouting, and screaming as the sky goes boom!!!

One nearest to me was a mother holding her daughter...

Mother: Hey, look baby o.. fireworks..

Daughter: wow!!!! ganda!!!..
woooohh...

Mother: Do you want me to carry you
para makita mo saan nanggagaling yung fireworks??

Daughter: yoko... im scared...

ynad: (wala ako sinabi..
napangiti lang ako =p)

Mother: ok... wow
there o!... heart ung shape... yun o
baby..!

Daughter: Mommy hinihigop ba ng langit
yung fireworks??

Mother: hindi bumabagsak sa sea...

Daughter: eh... paano ung mga mermaids??

Then, I realized something...too much TV (joke lng...)

"MAsaya MagiNg Bata ulit"...

Once, when I was on that of the little girl's age, I believed that my toys were alive...

that somewhere, somehow, they talked without me noticing it... nagtatago pa ako para lang mahuli kung nag uusap si G.I. Joe at sila Ninja Turtles... para pala akong Baliw... aheheheh...

FUNNY..... We all miss our childhood... =[

"MindFly"

"MindFly"

Ive been reading a book,

But not the way that it looks

As if I was corrupted,

by the thing that I wanted

I didnt noticed the sign,

Its been there for awhile

And so if green means "go"

Why am I fighting the flow?

Recognizing the chair,

I dont think its fair!

We have our own share of doubts,

Dont say the world is round...

Whistle me the melody...

Sing me some lines...

Coz I cant remember the sound,

I cant recall where its bound.

"What a Holey day !!!!"

I was on the way to school, nakasakay ako sa loob ng isang puting FX biyaheng Sucat-Lawton... It was a rainy morning and I could feel the coldness of the aircon blowing on my face, sinipon tuloy ako..=p Suddenly the driver turned on the radio and tuned it sa station kung saan ang isang religious sect ang maririnig.

I never really listen to radio programs like that, ever... ewan ko lang kung bakit... I have faith. Then there was an old lady over the phone line having her testimony about how the religious leader changed her life. She began to weep, she cried so loud... so loud that it was not pleasant to the ears anymore... hagulgol kung baga, imagine, I have to cover my ears just to survive the agony of hearing it. Now I knew why I dont like those kinds of programs.

Bumaba na ako sa tapat ng Manila City hall, sumakay ako ulit ng another FX bound to somewhere in Cubao, dadaan kasi yun sa Morayta. I was surprised and happy na nakasabay ko ang isang familiar face... someone close to God...(salamat pla kapatid sa pakikinig sa mga kwento ko! )... its a "Holy Day" indeed.

Pero hindi dun natatapos ang lahat, pagdating sa isang morning class namin... we received an early "Homily" from a professor...(sorry for using the word "homily"...) He started our class with an intense moment of silence, everyone was just staring at him... wondering what is up. Then minutes later he began to talk, hindi naman namin malaman anu ba talaga yung problem, sino tinutukoy niya, paulit-ulit lang naman yung mga sinasabi nya. The speech was so colorful, with all these dates he's mentioning, his body movements, and the sudden flow of tears.

I was moved... I wont lie, I felt for him for minutes, medyo naawa ako sa kanya. But something made me changed my position... You see, I have nothing against this prof, I found him nice, he's a great man... Im not intelligent but I can weigh things out. Emotions took over him, definitely it owned him, all these bitterness... "dan-ger-oooous" nyahahaha... I said awhile ago na medyo kampi nako sa prof na ito, kaya lang may napansin ako.. very evident... paulit-ulit kasi siya, nahalata ko tuloy...

Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, he was hurt and mad coz people call him names like A hole, sycophant (first time ko narinig yun dun, til now I dont know what it means, so can someone tell me =p), Ybanag (well, he's proud), bakla (so what? daw), damn... etc... which I agree, its very disrespectful talaga.. kahit kanino naman sabihin, masama yun!

But after hearing words coming from his very own mouth, describing his enemies... after calling them "beast" or "biatch" (whatever), nawala lahat ng awa ko sa kanya... why? What makes him different from them?? isang malaking WALA! pare-parehas sila... so if theyre all the same, patas lang yung laban... yun lang, he's not man enough to fight til the end (ehem).. who is the loser now?? Sayang ok pa naman siya sa class.

Gusto ko sana tumayo at sabihin sa kanya ito... kaso naisip ko moment niya yun at ayoko makisawsaw... (another thing, hindi ako ganung tao... wala ako kakayahan... mahiyain kaya ako =p) Sa lahat ng nakaka-alam nito, tama ba ako? anyway, bago na prof, tapos na issue, let's forget about it, pasensya na if I threw some jokes about it sa text messages... sorry... =p

God Bless!!!!!

July 22, 2008... 12:02 am

Its exactly 2 minutes after midnight and yes... its officially my birthday! As far as I could remember, I never had much good memories on my birthdays. Every year it was just a typical day. .. no celebrations... nothing special... And believe it or not I never had my own Birthday Cake while growing up. All I could recall about having one was only on my 4th bday because of all these pictures supporting it as proofs, sadly, after that no more cakes (haayyyyss)... So yesterday, Ive bought one for me, I shared it with some people, the scene was so new to me because at last I had my own birthday cake(ala naman candles =p) and I was able to celebrate it with friends.

Like what Ive said earlier, I never had much good memories during my past birthdays... and I have here something to share ... the "Worst" birthday I ever had... It was 2 years ago... a month before my bday Ive done something wrong, my mom got very angry with me, so bad that we never got to talk for sometime. Days passed, we finally back in "good terms", I was so happy. Then came my birthday... I was lying all day on the sofa 'til noon... I just watched TV, then slept, then watch again... I was not really feeling well. I suddenly felt this sadness, so much that it made my eyes teary, because of this one reason..." Nobody remembered my Birthday!!!!"... At first, I thought everyone in the house was just playing on me.. I thought there was a surprise or a prank (huhuhuh)... It was then 4:30 in the afternoon at last my mom noticed the date... I cant forget what she said to me "Nard... birthday mo pla ngayon? Di ba 22??"... in that moment my heart jumped as if it wanted to go out my chest! My mom went to the kitchen immediately to prepare some food and as she was there cooking, i found myself crying underneath the sofa sheets secretly"... (tsk! drama)...

Salamat pala sa mga friends ko na kasama ko kumain nung cake...

kahit nkaka-umay... nyahahahh...

Tnx for reading!!! and sa mga greetings...

kulude ka!=p
