just having a day out

Some "free" day. Not really. Okay, we had that sort of free day early this afternoon. We had a late lunch ( we do that everyday) in McDo, the nearest fastfood we have here. Jasmin and Wengkat were already there for about 30 mins, then Sona and I followed them after the former was done writing her stories and me my schedule (summary of news story).
So there we stayed about an hour, very confident the editors were still not at the office. And from there we decided to have a quick haircut, and another quick pedicure.
Wengkat and I had that 20-minute haircut, just some trimming. While Jasmin and Sona had their toenails polished.
We were just a block or so from our office that when we were done with our little escapade we could just sneak in without our editors’ knowing we were actually out that long.
While inside the salon, Wengkat asked if I already forwarded their (her and Jasmin’s) skeds (that summary I told you about) and I was like "Huh?!" Okay, she did not submit her sked yet thinking I would add mine and then do the forwarding. My computer was dead so it was given i had to use hers as she was my immediate neighbor.

But, I did not do that, which means anytime our eds would be looking for us. So Wengkat had to tell through text our editor that their skeds were in her computer. In this junction I remembered I threw my sked to another editor, who is on day off today. Nah!

So we had to tell another editor that my sked was on that editor’s (that one on day off) computer. Hay!
Even with that situation we remained at the salon, with Jasmin and Sona still being in their seats enjoying the pampering of the pedicurists or so I thought.

Few minutes after such pampering we went out only to have Sona’s new pedicure destroyed as she was wearing doll shoes. Tsk!

In going back to the office we have to pass by a mall, I mean we really have to get in there as it is more safe and convenient. So we did just that, talking and laughing when all of a sudden our editor-in-chief appeared at our backs. Whoa!

We had to walk very fast!

Sunday blockbuster right here

I was not so busy these past days. I even had time to make movie reviews (huh!). Whatever, I've had two slices of pizza and a bottle of Coke bantam just a few minutes ago. And now I'm feeling wonderful. Scroll down and see what I mean. I mean read on.


The Four Feathers

This film was shown sometime in 2002 according to the website. I just don't know where I was that time. And I only had the chance to watch it this afternoon at home with my bro. I have so many movies to catch up on.

Anyway, it's played by Heath Ledger, that same man in Brokeback Mountain.

there's also Kate Hudson playing just the way she does in most of her other films, the pa-cute and that lovable side of her.

I would like to say, it's about friendship. There's this guy named Abou (Djimon Hounsou), a total stranger until he got around a little bit with Harry (Heath), but even with that li'l time he saved his "friend" more than once.

Harry, too, did his part. He saved most of his friends who went to war, which, in the first place, he was a part of, but because he did not feel like killing those "savages" he preferred to stay. Eventually, he followed his friends (the officials of the British regiment sent to Sudan) to prove his worth as his father (also an army official), his girlfriend (Kate) and his friends abhored his decision when he resigned from his commission.

And there, in the desert of Sudan they all fought. Harry here was already looking and speaking like an Arab, as any Brit, if found out, would surely meet his death in that place.

Well anyway, I don't have much time talking about this movie most people have already watched. I'm just going to say this is really a good movie, something you'd want to have a personal copy of that you'd like to watch over and over again when you'd grow old and bald. Hahaha!

Okay, the story ended just like the way we all want it: Harry went back to where Ethne (Kate), the love of his life, was. But, only after she broke up with his friend Jack, who led the regiment, after Harry "cowed." Well, Jack became blind and kind, I mean, he gave way to Harry. Friendship, my dear, friendship!

Only a few value such thing, these days.

I just wish they'd exponentially grow in number, and fast.

Brokeback Mountain

Some scenes were shocking, to me. Like Anne Hathaway in topless. Really! And Michelle Williams. Well, at least she's not typecasted as a sweet princess like Anne.

So where did Heath and Jake (Gyllenhaal) go? Where else, to their love nest, the Brokeback Mountain.

And there they made love and all. Yes. What else would you expect in this movie. It was strange watching a man kissing and caressing another man. Sona and I were laughing when they wee doing it, and moreso when they... I can't say it here it's censored.

I just hope, this film will broaden the minds of most people on gays.

It's a nice movie. Just don't watch it at the last part or you'd get bored and feel stupid (for spending half of your day's earning just watching talks and more talks).

----


Rumor Has It

I watched it yesterday with friends: Jute, Phoebe and Cheetos (thanks to tabachuching-Rizza/Turtle).

I was all prepared to laugh. I was thinking I was watching Humor Has It! hahaha.

Well, there were laughs of course (thanks to Sarah's -Jennifer's- grandmom's witty remarks). And the dialogues, they were so fine and meaningful. It's something you want to put in Readers' Digest's Quotable Quotes.

Just watch it. In the moviehouse or at home on pirated dvds. I don't care.

Magkaisa, why not!

Magkaisa - Virna Lisa

Noon, ganap ang hirap sa mundo
Unawa ang kailangan ng tao
Ang pagmamahal sa kapwa ilaan
Isa lang ang ugat na ating pinagmulan
Tayong lahat ay magkakalahiSa unos at agos ay huwag padadala
Chorus 1:
Panahon na ng pagkakaisaKahit ito ay hirap at dusa
Chorus 2:
Magkaisa (may pag-asa kang matatanaw)
At magsama (bagong umaga't bagong araw)
Kapit-kamay (sa atin s'ya'y nagmamahal)Sa bagong pag-asa
Ngayon, may pag-asang natatanaw
May bagong araw, bagong umaga
Pagmamahal ng Diyos isipin mo tuwina
(Repeat Chorus 1 & 2)
Chorus 3:
(Magkaisa) May pag-asa kang matatanaw
(At magsama) Bagong umaga't bagong araw
(Kapit-kamay) Sa atin s'ya'y nagmamahal
(Sa bagong pag-asa)
Chorus 4:
Panahon na (may pag-asa kang matatanaw)
Ng pagkakaisa (may bagong araw, bagong umaga)
Kahit ito (pagmamahal ng Diyos isipin mo tuwina)
Ay hirap at dusa
Coda:
Magkaisa at magsamaKapit-kamay sa bagong pag-asa
Magkaisa...

It took me sometime to get this lyrics. I googled for it several times, and finally found it at a forum site.

Anyway, I last heard that song a few days ago from a radio station. the song’s lyrics is actually like a plea. It has become so these days, now that we seem to be a broken nation.

I’m touched by it.

Magkaisa. A simple thing but it has become farfetched.

Do we need more Manny Pacquiao fights everyday for us to be united?

Hay buhay.

I’m putting that lyrics here in my blog as my way of commemorating EDSA 1. at least here, it still has a meaning.

my friend is preggy

yes!
she is. and we are very proud of her. *smirk
anyway, we'll all become godmothers and godfather (i raise my hand to this), that is if, we pass the SAL computation. and it's me whos gonna compute (mathematics in action).

so far, only one has made it to the list: si jang geum (thanks to her cooking)

back to the real programming...im hungry!

seriously, i'm kind of apprehensive for this friend. although shes obviously looking and feeling great these days; eating just anything her hand touches-pens, papers, books, and newspapers, there'll come a time when she gets all bloated up and all. hala ka!

wahehe. me too, for the last several weeks since she's started this habit, okay, eating food, i have become her partner in crime. the diet has become taboo in this part of the world where this girl is making big her tummy and all of her body parts, including her ilong. hahahha

i eat too. a lot! grrrr. just yesterday, just barely an hour after lunch i took my snacks, with dessert, and drink one bottle of mango juice and another bottle of water. this is not a good sign. i think im preggy too. yuck! where is the donor! im sick! *puke

well anyway, i have to say this friend will have a very healthy baby, and healthier godmothers and godfathers of the baby.

everyone's excited. but we need donors. the barangay siaw, where this preggy girl resides (plus this writer), needs cash to buy more food. okay, barangay siaw is the rear part of the newsroom where we all read, talk, laugh, chat, and do just anything we like except doing the real job. heck, that's part of our contract: to enjoy!

i was saying donations. donate now! (to the victims of St. Bernard, So. Leyte I mean, well, part of it will go to barangay Siaw)

if prayers could really move mountain, then prayers could also unmove it

It is so heartbreaking. Last weekend I did not even read the papers and surf the news about that killer mudslide in Southern Leyte, except for some vital information like the death toll, etc.

But this noon while waiting for my computer to start I browsed the Philippine Star and there I saw the story of this 35-year-old Fil-Am who came all the way from Las Vegas after hearing the news that his barangay, Guinsaogon, was wiped out.

He has 10 relatives there. His grandfather, mom, sis, bro, niece, according to that report, are still not in sight. This man even helped in the rescue operation, manually digging the spot he remembered was the place where their house was, in all hopes that somewhere down there members of his family are still alive.

Three days (as of yesterday) after the incident, I think hoping to dig more survivors is like hoping for a corruption-free country. Let’s face it days have already passed and it seems like rescuers are having a difficult time with mud that’s practically swallowing them. And 30-40 feet of it has covered that entire barangay. That is about 5-6 people deep. Certainly an uneasy task to delve for bodies.

But, it’s not wrong to hope. While reading that piece of news (for the last days I was reading the “hard news” of that tragedy) I was close to tears. It’s a case of helplessness. It’s like you want to do something but you just can’t. I don’t want to know what those people down there, while still alive, had been doing to save their lives, and later on died while trying.

Last night, I contacted our photographer, who was sent there, to ask him if the school, wherein over 200 students and some teachers are believed to be burried alive, was already unearthed.

He only told me the place already smelled awful.

I know.

Well, there is always a miracle.

And I hope it will happen soon.

i'm okay

If I had a day to myself I'd rather stay home and watch movies. And I just did that yesterday. Now, I'm blogging them bec I'm bored.

SHUTTER
this is a story of a young photographer Thun, and his girlfriend, Jane, and his former girlfriend, Natre, who became the ghost--a scary ghost!
scary indeed. no wonder why they call it horror!
but, Natre is really funny in some scenes. she almost had my respect until i saw her nikabiba (can't find the english word for that. not even sure if that's the Cebuano word) ni Thun. sus!
my back always hurts these past few days. hmmm...i may have my back photographed.

Great Expectations
Based on Charles Dickens' timeless tale, this is a story of the love of Finn Bell(Ethan Hawke) for an unreachable woman-Estella (Gwyneth Paltrow).
Well, they fell in love in the end, but only after about 48 years when Estella came back to her homeplace with a child in tow.
The scenes, especially those inside the confines of Paradiso Perduto (?), are just great! The abandoned party with wine glasses covered by dead leaves and all, and all those remnants of that supposedly wedding reception, which happened 26 (?) years ago, of that old bitchy woman. It was impossible to have those glasses still standing there after so many years, but that was still something I'd wish to personally see (if it were true).
And the beauty inside the mansion- "abandoned" and uncared for- reminds me of the First Street house/the Mayfair Witch Manor, the setting of the Anne Rice' The Witching Hour trilogy: the Mayfair Witches, Lasher, and Taltos.
The movie was released sometime in 1998. I've already read the book and tried several times renting a VHS (then) copy of the movie but failed to see it as my mother returned it before I could even watch it. Then I rented a VCD a few years back but left it at a friend's house. She watched with without me :( Malas!
Finally, I saw another copy in our GM's place, so there i grabbed it!

break me up

okay i needed a break...badly!

Friday
8:30pm. our GM's house watching White Chicks (for the second time)
we had to be there to prep for the next day's mission: a visit to a home care and an "abandoned" school

past 12pm
everyone was already snoring while i was still wide awake watching memoirs of a geisha (P100 saved)

almost 2am, sat.
i had to turn off the TV even if the film was not finished yet. had to wake up before 5

before 5am
no one was awake yet. great! go back to sleep

around 6
everyone was ready to leave and i was still in the bath: waaahhh

past 7am
on our way to Sibonga. go back to sleep. quick! thank God the weather is not hot.

around 9am, Sibonga elementary school
Us: "School?!"
Pupils: "who are you?"
the school's got no chairs, i mean proper chairs. its library, no books; there's this bodega converted into a classroom minus the blackboard, tables, chairs and teachers.
The barangay captain of that place is either not close to the congressman or a drug addict.
Us: "We'll be back."

10am. Hospicio de San Jose. Barili
old people all around us.
"Hi lola?"
"Gai ko pan?"
"Ngek! Duster raman ni amo dala." (meds pud diay)
"Di nata miga oi. Uli namo kaw!"
"Watch sa ko sa place ha?" (and proceeded touring the old place)

around 11am.
on the way to Moalboal. this is just a stop-over. yahooo!

past 12
swim swim. mmmm... (the best stop-over ever!)
life is really great here: boracay-like beach plus funny people with you.

GM: "picture! picture!"
owner of the resort: "Hoy! i am the owner. you are trespassing my property!"
Us: "picture ra gani mi."
owner: "What?!!"
Us: "Batig nawng!" (and off we went back to the neighboring resort where we were billeted)
(imagine Mel Tiangco walking in the beach while the song "Magpakailanman" is played. Yep, we did just that! and it was really relaxing to feel the grains of white sand massaging your feet. I just loooooved it! )

past 4pm
homeward bound
(the trip back home was like passing Dumanjug, Sibonga, Barili (not in order) for the nth time..and i was like "huh!" but at least the weather continued to be soooo cold that sleeping in the van was not difficult.)

6:30pm. Gaisano Tabunok
wala lang!

tomorrow, sunday
our GM has got loads of movies in his place and i took 3-(in exchange of my toothbrush i left in his place :( -for tomorrow.

i know, there's always life even without a toothbrush. anyway, tomorrow's my day off.

Sogod anywhere

Right now, I don’t know what I’m feeling. Minutes ago I was kind of excited (mixed with apprehension) after our news ed told me to go to Sogod, that’s at least 2 hours north of Cebu City. I love tavelling even though I had no idea what was I to do there. I was told there was a rebel encounter in the mountain part of the area and I was like “Yahoo!” Never had that kind of experience yet. While someone said there was a landslide or an earthquake that destroyed classrooms. At least with that one there were no flying bullets.

Clueless I still agreed. Trabaho gud. But what if it was really a dangerous “mission” I was to cover. Anyway, I had nothing to lose. :P

Real worries: I had 2 stories to write on top of this breaking news. Since Sogod is very far away I’d surely get back at past deadline. They’d wait, no question about that; but I just could not write three stories when I'd be exhausted and all.

To ease that little burden, while I was waiting for the driver at the other building I started composing my other story using our HRD's (friend's) computer. And voila! Before we could start our journey the newsroom phoned me to tell me that it was not actually Sogod, Cebu. Sogod, Southern Leyte diay!

Grrr! and wooooh at the same time. Everyone was actually laughing when I got back at the newsroom.

I already knew about that incident in Leyte. A fellow reporter told me that on my way to the office. I just did not know it was in Sogod. Good thing the driver was late.

Excitement was gone. Back to the real world: writing that two stories (I’m not done with the other one yet as of this posting. I’m bored and when I am I blog.)

Anyway, they finally agreed to send someone there. I was already out of the question, got another assignment tomorrow. It would have been great to see the place, and feel the sorrow (yeah!). We have so many tragedies, I’ve become so numb.

I really don’t know why I’m feeling drained, it must have been from the aborted laag and I’m just too tired to argue. That’s another Grrr to the nth power!

Or I think I’m just hungry.

I’m off!

at least not everyone was kissing and kissable

chito, this writer, sona, jen's friend, jen (ubos ni chito)

Taken last Saturday night, during the Lovapalooza event.

Amid the rains, the mud, the everything, I was sent there. Take note “sent!” Thanks to our tabloid’s entertainment editor. Grrr!

Why would I be in such a place where there’d be a lot of smooching and rain? I wanted to go home early and finish that book (Memoirs of a geisha), which has been with me for over a week already, and yes, the owner wants it back na. But heck!

I wanted to say no but there was just no one to do it.

The weather was really bad since early morning, the one thing that was really disheartening. I had wished they’d postponed it some other day, during which the reporter should be back from her vacation, but they did not!

Cebu probably had a 24-hour contract with Mr. and Mrs. Rain and their kids. As a result the ground was so muddy pigs would have loved to hang out there. We weren’t pigs but we we were there. Haaay buhay! Aw trabaho.

So I was there. Glad, Sona came with me (after making a deal with her. hmp!). We had salisbury steak (from different outlets) together, and when we came to the place there were loads of good food in almost every direction. Tsk tsk tsk!

At the backstage, where the celebrities and the food were, we stayed waiting for the real event to happen. Yes, the kissing what else. And it was set to take place at 12midnight, that was like more than three hours away as we came at past 7 or around that time. Waaaaah….

As I’ve said it was so muddy, our shoes (fortunately, we had our sneakers on) were already coated with mud and grasses which we got on our way to the VIP area. Here, the organizers had to set up “carpets” (some kinda stage) for the stars and for those anyone staying there.

There were sure no stars in the sky as they were all in that event that night. Ding!

Ay, I did not find anyone of them cute. I posed with Chito because wala lang.

Okay, Pops was cute. Jinky, too. But I was enjoying the company of those “crazy” people, Jen (an alien, who comes and goes as she pleases :P), Jody Bon (the baklang macho dancer. hahaha), and others (I don’t know their names eh). We made such a great party at the backstage and our audience were the stars and their chaperons, the organizers, etc. But wa jud koy labot kay tig pakpak ra ko, pramis!

We went home very late. And when I got to bed I could not sleep anymore. Mind you I fell asleep at about 5am. And I still had to report to work the next day. Very bad!

Happy V-day!

Happy Valentine's day people!

Don't worry we are not alone! Okay, everyone's got a date or two but it's not what valentine is all about. It's all about eating pizza and drinking coke and laughing at the sight of people bringing flowers and chocolates. It's more fun doing just any or all of that, mind you. I've tried that for so many years, yeah, with friends, who are equally as mean as I am. OMG! did I just say mean?

Why, does anything beat with having friends around than having had to carry flowers and chocs, for all the world to see, and talking about "sweet nothings." Yuck!

Sige, have a good V-day folks! Just don't let me see you while you try to fool each other, okay?

Orlando Bloom has my phone

"Hi you're Vatski's friend ryt? Kindly tell her that she left her phone on my bed last night. thanks. by the way, this is orlando bloom."

That text message kept me realy busy last night. I forwarded that to all fellow Globe subscribers (Viva unlimited!) and practically everyone of them had a reply for that.

From Malou to me: "Ei, Malou is in the shower right now and i'll tell her when she gets out. this is quino of big mountain, by the way."

To Malou: "Yeah? Ok. and can u pls send me her hubby's #? dont worry im not gonna tell him shes with u ryt now."

From Malou: "U mean dennis (the hubby)? ah yeah, hes downstairs with alicia silverstone."

From Me: "Whoa! wer r u guys? im coming..."

---

From J: "Hoi! Baga'g nawng!"

From Me: "Hehehe. Soya ka noh? :P"

---

From a friend: "Really?! ok i'll let her know."

From Me: "Yes please or i'll sell this phone if she doesnt get it soon."

From a friend: "Ok."

(this friend actually believed this crap. hahaha. she thought that orlando was a code name. gad, i did not wait this age just to screw up with anyone but orlando bloom. Yum!)

---

And the rest were saying "Ambisyosa!" just like what I replied to the one who sent that to me. She was using Sam Milby there. Some kinda yummy guy, well, not really.

So that's how I normally spend my night besides reading newspaper (yeah, I do it at night), watching TV, or reading a book.

It’s enough!

It’s been three days since that stampede happened and it is about time we go back to the “real programming.” Huh, ABS-CBN?

Enough of trying to “console” the grieving families the proceeds of that “Alay sa Kapamilya” programs do not even go to them!

Enough of trying to show sympathy to the masa most of you especially Willie and Charo do not even look convincing!

Enough of trying to cover your lapses!

Stop “gloating” on the Wowowee tragedy. Will you?

Please lang.

The Birthday of Papa Cardy


Yes! It's Papa Cardy's 75th birthday today and because of that, and his obvious frail health, he has to retire from his being the Archbishop of Cebu to finally become an ordinary citizen again. And marry ME!

My eyes for the last several months have been set only for him and him alone and I'm glad that this day has come. Thank you India..thank you disillusionment.

----------

Ei, it is a friend’s birthday today, too. If Papa Cardy’s oozing with divine grace and love this friend is the exact opposite. She’s named Lovey but I don’t think she ever has love. I mean she is loveless. And her wish is to find that guy to replace her dog, Otta, whose days are numbered because she has cancer of the uterus (I kid you not!). Otta, a boxer, is getting real slow by the minute and I was told her cancer was brought by her being a virgin. Well, her owners (Lovey for one) can’t afford to have her fucked (sorry for the word, can’t find any) as a male partner would cost the family P10,000 plus a pup. That is why Otta is sick and will die a virgin. Like Lovey (hope she doesn’t come across this blog). Yeah, Lovey is a desperate boyfriend-less law student. Tsk tsk tsk! Sad dog.

I mean get a life Lovey! I already have Papa Cardy. Hehehe.
