where are you christmas

things to do this christmas:

1. make the kids' party a little bigger this year. just the thought of it, gikapoy nako. done with most of the shopping though (gipangkutkot nga ngali tong mga chocolate sa akong kwarto), i'll have another tomorrow, good luck jud sa traffic ug sa kahuot sa gaisano.

2. lose weight. im bulging now. ni-shrink na akong mga panti. nyahaha!

3. buy something for myself. i just learned this morning, wa man diay koy pinaskuhan para nako. ingnun ana ko kapobre. tsk tsk! i think i'll get for myself a cozy house by the beach. >.<

4. greet everyone. greet nalang kay way tay pangregalo.

5. get a massage and/or sleep. i cant wait!

ps: photo is a scene at the lobby of waterfront lahug. title is borrowed from the grinch movie, faith hill's version is better though. ako rang gitaytol kay ganahan man ko. he-he!

now, i need to do item no. 4:

merry christmas, everyone! =)

MICS in Action

last sunday, we trekked to this uppermost sitio of barangay manipis, talisay city, to show some care and love to the people there. it is almost christmas anyway.

mics, btw, is a new organization formed just last november by a group of palahubog and palakaon... (there will be a site for it soon). and i dont know what came into our minds when we decided to do some good in campinsa. we were probably drunk when we thought of it. hmmm...

initially, we only thought of a feeding project, but since we were already at it, we gave some more...



these are just a few of the 131 families who received the bundles of joy....i just hope they loved it.


one of the 114 kids who took home some goodies from me...aw, from mics! =)

si justin feeling politiko.

we also had lugaw for them. and for ourselves. nangaon pud mi no! lol


two weeks ago, we visited sitio campinsa. a far far away place of talisay. about an hour away from the highway, and a 15-minute super rough ride to the place. mura kag ni-travel sa north pole.

and this is what we saw on our first visit there:



a makeshift classroom for the grade-one pupils. it was a sad sad situation, happening just in my city. dont worry, we already "reported" it SEVERAL TIMES, until they all wake up and start doing something!


and this too! road going to campinsa, which makes the 15-minute trip there a hell.

on our way to the site, i tried sitting at the part of the car for a good view of the cliff below, but that was a mistake. i almost died of heart attack. from my seat, it is just a breath away to the mananga river below. and by below, that's at least 100 meters. i dont like that kind of death, fyi! LOL

we also "said" something about that, i just hope something really positive would come out from that visit and constant reporting.



but the good side of it though is this, nope, not our haggard faces. ahahaha...

about 2 weeks of planning and we did it! bow!

thanks to those who helped us.

criminal mind

last time i fired a gun was last september, on my birthday. i love target shooting very much. i think love guns more than i love men. lol! that was almost 3 months ago, but amazingly, i did better today than the last time. a double bullseye in two consecutive shots! and not only that, i hit the same whole i made with my first shot. that felt sooo good. XD

here's the evidence:

Ang Pag-ibig Ayon Kay Bob Ong:

1). 'Kung hindi mo mahal ang isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya..'

2). 'Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba.'

3). 'Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang.'

4). 'Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na.'

5). 'Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin.'

6). 'Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din.'

7). 'Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang.'

8). 'Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa.'

9). 'Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka.. Kaya quits lang.'

10). 'Kung dalawa ang mahal mo, piliin mo yung pangalawa. Kasi hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo talaga yung una.'

11). 'Hindi porke't madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text ng wantusawa eh may gusto sayo at magkakatuluyan kayo. Meron lang talagang mga taong sadyang friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall o paasa.'

12). 'Huwag magmadali sa babae o lalaki. Tatlo, lima , sampung taon, mag-iiba ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong hindi pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang maganda o nakakalibog ito. Totoong mas mahalaga ang kalooban ng tao higit sa anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan nagmumukha ding pandesal, maniwala ka.'

13). 'Minsan kahit ikaw ang nakaschedule, kailangan mo pa rin maghintay, kasi hindi ikaw ang priority.'

14). 'Mahirap pumapel sa buhay ng tao. Lalo na kung hindi ikaw yung bida sa script na pinili nya.'

15). 'Alam mo ba kung gaano kalayo ang pagitan ng dalawang tao pag nagtalikuran na sila? Kailangan mong libutin ang buong mundo para lang makaharap ulit ang taong tinalikuran mo.'

16). 'Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala'

17). 'Hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohan, at hindi lahat ng hindi mo kayang intindihin ay kasinungalingan'

18). 'Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!'

19). 'Pakawalan mo yung mga bagay na nakakasakit sa iyo kahit na pinasasaya ka nito. Wag mong hintayin ang araw na sakit na lang ang nararamdaman mo at iniwan ka na ng kasiyahan mo.'

20). 'Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang mga taong malalapit sa iyo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo.'

21). 'Ang pag-ibig parang imburnal...nakakatakot mahulog...at kapag nahulog ka, it's either by accident or talagang tanga ka..'
