bumped off!

I somehow had the fortune of being bumped off from my early morning flight today. I was prepared to report to the office by noon but the free round trip ticket I could get for volunteering was just too enticing to pass up.

besides waiting for another four hours for my eventual flight was not really that bad especially after having gone through several delayed flights from cebu pac already hehe.

I wasn't that a bit worried, I still didn't have any word about our new budget being approved yet thus I didn't think there's anything urgent to be done in the office anyway.

and I had my mp3s and my eee pc with me. and what more, my friend, Sugar, just saved a copy of the movie Love in the Time of Cholera in my pc. =)

I was more than excited to just sit and watch it first.

I know I have a copy of the book somewhere among my college textbooks but I don't really remember reading it. must be that Marquez's books were mostly thick and with minute letters at that.

ahihihi...i've to say I was a bit kilig as I watched the movie, I was almost oblivious that i was enjoying amidst the busy CDO airport with passengers from different flights arriving and leaving.

the film is just so rich with visuals it almost looks like some Spanish painting come alive. Florentino's prose and poetry were so moving i'd almost feel the tears well up if only for the crowd around me.

for more than 2 hours i've been held captive by my 7 inch screen. i'm wondering how most wonderful this must be to be viewed on the widescreen.

and the ultra sensual shakira who's singing most of the OST adds up to its over all passion and depth.



*****************

i've to admit I kinda left the home early this morning with quite a heavy heart. I haven't really accomplished anything and there were just more issues and concerns faced that I felt I didn't really had any vacation at all. the only consolation I have is that Xan got well finally. he was really sick when I arrived and it was just too great a relief that his cough and colds were gone, he was running around everywhere again and has been eating left and right as if wanting to just make up for all those missed meals.

nothing matters now really but seeing Xan up and about once more. let the adults take care of themselves and their issues. Xan is ok. that's all that matters. =)



our family has had a lot of better/happier days anyway. we will see brighter sunshinier times in the days to come. i'll just have to focus on the yellows and the oranges instead of gloomy grays and dark ones. muchos gracias.

disco-nnected

i've been having internet connection woes lately...it's been on and off for the past few days like some freakin disco lights that i'd feel like turning on the music to full volume and ordering for some ice cold beer.

I could get online for a while before it starts puttering and sending out a message of “request timed out” for a few minutes stretching up to a couple of hours. and eventually dying on me.

dang, no wonder they call it smart bro-ken now.

it's really hard when you've become so used to having high speed internet in the metro. too bad i can't even opt for a dial-up connection here as even our phone line doesn't have any access. i could only resort to connecting with my cellphone usb cable during desperate measures. but then again i left my cable wire back in manila. *toink*

with the advancement of high technology these days, i believe it's safe for me to just hope for an entirely wi-fi free country right?

sana parang TV na lang na nakakasagap tayo ng free channels wherever with our laptops or desktops. i hope to have at least yahoo, multiply and pex in it. let's just leave xtube, redtube, badjojo and all those specialty only sites for additional subscription rates. parang cable network ba, pwde ba yun? sana nga ganun na lang! di naman masama mangarap di ba???

haay, i feel like collapsing and frothing in the mouth anytime soon.

happy birthday, mama!

we might have been too pasaway the past days that we really wanted to at least make up for it by having a good enough celebration for this year with my immediate family, nevermind if it's a holy thursday and our food choices are limited.

here's to hoping that she would still feel loved and is greatly important to us all.

happy birthday, mama dearest!

magkamukha kami, di ba? di ba??? =)

why, oh why??!

taxi fares from cdo airport to the bus station and vice versa has always been my major complain. i do go home 3-4 or even more times a year and each time they'd charge me about 300-400 each trip. wow, that's even more than my fare from katip to the manila airport.

and each time i'd tell them i'm but a student and i don't really have that much cash with me so i'd bargain for at least 250.

this morning, upon arriving at the cdo airport, i approached a police officer before i hailed a cab and asked him where i could get metered cabs, he directed me to the ones queueing nearby, he then gave me a sheet of paper where i could input infos/complaints in case the driver will overcharge me.

i sort of waved my paper to the driver and asked him to use his meter which he did. while on the way though he asked me if i could give him dagdag for the fare and started whining about how gas prices are so expensive, he had to pay airport fees, etc...i lacked sleep, my head was throbbing and i don't really wanna hear anyone else complaining other than me, right? he asked for at least 300. i just said i'll see about that.

upon arriving at my destination the meter only read 140...i gave him 200. weeeh!

i got his number though, it's 09104772297. told him bawi ako when i get back na lang .do text him in case you're in cdo and would need a lift to wherever. he even offered to take me to iligan for 1500 kaso duh wala naman akong bitbit na mabigat na bag. besides wala akong 1500!! hehe...

at least, i'm home with Xan now!

Hello and Hallelujah

consider me lucky for having these two guys on one vid clip...i love, love, love em!

to gym or not to gym

my friend, ron has been asking me to try out the gym again as it's but a short walk from where i'm staying. i told him i'll just jog instead libre pa. besides he said that there's really not much hot, young men to ogle on anyway so wag na lang siguro. but then again i haven't really jogged for a long time either. i believe i got so tired after our KL-Sg but of course that was more than a month ago! i really don't have any excuse now except that i had a tooth extracted a week ago and had my period recently...so tamad noh, andaming excuses. i just know that i have to lift my butt up and exercise once more especially since i've been eating nothing but junk food lately.

was supposed to have dinner with ron at cravings today, i've been thinking and salivating on the all green salad i could have at the salad bar and maybe get a healthier herbed chicken meal. kaso na-injan ako ni ron waaah! or maybe i forgot to commit that i could make it later and i can't text him as wala akong load pala. i don't wanna go out just to buy a call card, i don't wanna call my mom naman just for pasaload hehe...oh well, i hope he's just fine wherever he is. so here i am having pancit canton and tuna omelet and crackers for dinner instead. ang healthy no?!

i haven't been out and walking lately save for those times when friends would call me and we'd meet up for dinner and drinks. kaso those are never healthy especially since i've gotten this weird cravings for sweet stuff with my beer like pancakes and bibingkas and chocolates and turons! yeah, only in the Pilipins, only with me!

and here i am complaining about all the fat that wouldn't want to leave my butt and has been happily clinging on to my waistline. and i even have the sheer audacity to browse on multiply sites that ply all these yummy looking swimsuits. yummy, the swimsuits yeah, just take me out off it wahehe...

but then again where's the harm in eyeing on all of them and working out at least in my mind huh! shouldn't that be enough to prepare me for summer?

speaking of...i will have my kinda early vacation next week for the holy week! i will be going home again! home to my mom's kitchen. eyng! just the thought of staying a week long at our home with my mom cooking every now and then is bliss but oh..it let's my sight out of those yummy bikinis once more. awww...and yes, even if it's the holy week, there's no such thing as fasting in our home. there won't be any meat dish but we'll have fish and veggies, and suman, and biko and ginataan instead haha! oh well, i can always compensate it by running around and/or carrying Xan instead yey!

oh well, i'm never a Juday fan, but i'm thinking though if maybe, just maybe i could try out that product she's currently endorsing. *sigh*

that swimsuit photo is courtesy of chiggy, sana bigyan niya ako ng discount.

lustful thoughts

i am currently lusting on these...

and yeah, am talking about the swimsuits and the bods

where can i get them? how can i have this bod? *sigh*

8 Random Things About Xan:

1. Like Mommy, he loves ampalaya, chews on them even if it's still raw.

2. Unlike Mommy though, he eats carrots naman, and onions which Mommy puts on the side of her plate :p

3. He loves Jollibee the moment he saw him. He'd scream and clap his hands and rans to him like crazy hehe.

4. He's travelled to Davao, Zamboanga, Manila, Oroquieta, Batangas. His first airplane ride was at 6 months. But then again mommy was travelling to Bicol, Cotabato, Cebu, even when he was still in the tummy.

5. He was delivered through C-section due to cord coil and his chin was up making him difficult to move out. Bata pa mataray na umasta.

6. He is nocturnal like mommy. He learned his first few steps at around 2am when he was but 10 months old. He'd wake everyone up by dancing and squealing and pulling your hair on the wee hours of the morning.

7. Like Mommy he loves watching Game Ka Na Ba, till Edu replaced Kris. Love niya talaga si Kris, yikes!

8. Kapuso ang anak ko! Change it to a different channel and he'd scream at you, hala!

I'm tagging Haze and her bf, Sugar and the nephews, besties Jenn-Aileen hehe...

Kite Runner- The Movie

so this is going to be another rant/rave post.

a few months back i know i posted some review about the book, how it has made me stay up till late and ended up crying, moved, pondering over some scenes.

then i learned some news that it was to be made into a movie. well, i sort of had misgivings at first. it's a pretty emotional story with controversial themes dealing with human relationships and turmoils and a much more delicate social/political/racial issues. but i was excited nonetheless especially when i finally saw the trailer online which gave me enough reason to watch out for it.

anyway, a few nights ago i actually joined a Pex contest for free premier tickets. i know there has always been a lot of contests in the said forum but i just thought i'd try it out as it's actually The Kite Runner and all i did was copy/paste the answer of previous posters to the question "who is the author of the book Kite Runner?". how simple can that be. i even didn't take note where and when the preem was going to be.

so imagine my surprise when i got a message last night that i did bag the two tickets haha! that was almost midnight and i thought of "raffling" my extra ticket among my pex friends or maybe ask my cousin out when my college friend, Ron, popped out on ym. so i just asked him if he's free for the following day and said he is. he didn't even ask what the movie was all about hehe...

so there, earlier this afternoon, i left the office early to get my tickets in makati, where i almost got lost looking for their office. but that's another story altogether.

the venue was at SM Megamall, uhm, i've been so used to the cinemas at Gateway that i think the movie screen is now a bit smaller, haay. and we must be with the wrong crowd as most of them were rowdy and were even talking among themselves while we were silently sniffing. they must have gotten bored and didn't understand a thing *sigh* so enough of my reklamos haha, sorry!

so, finally, on with the film...

first of all, i believe it has a perfect cast, most especially the young Hassan. he's just really cute, not good looking but cute just the same. and he's a good actor for someone so young huh!

as the film progressed and i remember the scenes bit by bit, i suddenly wonder if they will ever show some delicate scenes and if they do i don't think i'd feel comfortable watching it. but then again it is still the main turning point of the story so they simply have to. how they are going to treat it cinematically ought to be a real challenge. but yes they did, along with all the other controversial parts.

i cringed, sniffed, felt revolted, moved to tears, got excited, all throughout the film.

(i realized i could't tell much details about it now as i dunno how to make spoiler tags here, and just the conscientious moviegoer that i am, i don't really dream of spoiling you even if some of you have actually read the book.)

and all i can say really is, it remains faithful to the book and most of the great scenes are shown in the movie. it may not be as detailed but most of the good parts are there. there is one aspect there which was a bit changed but i couldn't blame them as it turns out to be more exciting to watch onscreen.

and i enjoyed the kite flying scenes a lot! it was kinda hard to picture it based on the book, but the movie makes it really fun and exciting.( i have read though that the kids were holding balloons during the filming and was just edited during post-production hehe.)

the lightness and heady feeling of the kites hovering as the kids frantically run about gives the movie an over-all subtle play of emotions. we know and feel that there are some parts that are heavy and intense but how they are being presented makes them appear as some dark stains to an otherwise youthful and hopeful film.

and even if the movie, which was initially set in Kabul during its glory days, showed how it was ravished by the Russian invasion and eventually by the Talibans it still manages to depict a more optimistic and glorious ending for it's main characters which like the older Hassan wrote to the older Amir:

"I dream that my son will grow up to be a good person, a free person. I dream that someday you will return to revisit the land of our childhood. I dream that flowers will bloom in the streets again... and kites will fly in the skies! "

a welcome getaway

Punta Fuego, Nasugbu, Batangas

i never knew summer fun could be this early for me.

a few days ago, my HS bud, Lala asked me if i would want to join them for their Fuego trip. I've never been there, i didn't have any idea what it looks like and i have a lot of doubts about enjoying it there as i didn't have any high hopes for the beaches in batangas. i just told her i wouldn't be too sure as i had my tooth extracted that day too and i knew i needed to rest.

the night before i had some mean party with a few friends and came home late that i wasn't really sure if i could be up early for the trip. but lo and behold, i woke up just before my alarm went off at 5:45am...thus by 7am i found myself dozing off on my friend's car on the way to nasugbu, batangas.

we got there at about 10am and my saying that the place is nice is but an understatement. i love it there! the sand is not so white but it's almost powdery fine, and there's not much rocks in there so it's safe to walk around barefoot, never mind the hot, hot sand hehe.

but the water is really cold, medyo may nangangagat nga lang. they say it's water mites and not jelly fish stings. i had rashes for a while pero nawala din naman. unlike the ones i got in la luz, batangas which left me a few scars from those rashes :-C.

we went to the nearby resort which is Munting Buhangin for lunch as the food in Punta Fuego is quite expensive. we saw a lot of families there and some even pitched tents for a minimal fee.

since Punta Fuego is a membership-only resort, i can't help but just recommend Munting Buhangin instead as they share the same stretch of beach anyway. and it's pretty much easy to just cross over to their resort hehe...i got there brochure and here's what i found:

duplex aircon cottage (6-15 pax) P7500
single aircon cottage (6-15pax) P8000
family inn aircon (9-12pax) P6800
nipa house aircon (4-10pax) P2750
tree house (2-10pax) P2900

pwde rin mag pitch ng tent for P500.oo
may volleyball, darts, kayak, videoke, etc.

you may contact them at their makati ofc 892-6051 loc. 410/812-5448/818-1975/818-4798
email: buhangin@info.com.ph

i believe this beach stretch of Punta Fuego and Munting Buhangin is way better than that of La Luz, and even that of White Beach in Galera, as the sand here is finer, the water clearer, more calm and predictable.

and the added bonus is a view of this magnificent sunset. it looks so serene and calm. it helped much that we had quite a cool day that time which made everything more relaxing.

we got home past six and dropped by Tagaytay for dinner. too bad we we're not able to have bulalo that time as Leslie's was packed so we ended up having an all-american dinner at Mile-Hi Diner, ok din naman.

of course, i'd like to thank my sponsors, Anne and Lala for the trip and newfound friends Linda and Norma for the company. t'was a totally awesome experience!

dealing with pain

i watched Juno tonight and i just find it really good and heartwarming. i actually cried on the last part (dang, why am i always crying over movies i watch??).

but this time i knew so well why i cried...

ok, this won't be easy for me. it's not like i get to show all the time how wimpy i could be.

well, i'm due for a tooth extraction soon. not that i'm scared of my dentist. i have regular prophylaxis, i've even had a root canal treatment once. and my current dentist who's my high school classmate is actually good at making me feel easy and comfortable on the chair. but i dunno why i got so jittery with this prospect of having a tooth pulled out once more. but then again it has been ages since the last one. i could actually wait up for summer when i get home for this procedure but another part of me is making me push myself and just go on with this one.

i have been thinking about this for weeks now just that i am sort of biding my time. this morning i went to a dentist nearby and asked for an appointment. i have called last week and was decided to do it today, i knew someone is in duty yet i still went there acted as if i'm just interested for an appointment. i sort of changed my mind and had it rescheduled instead for the next day.

I have always believed that i have a higher tolerance for pain. that i have always been able to control, take care of myself. that i could take in anything whether it's good or bad, pleasurable or not.

just that this time, i don't know why, i'm just feeling oh so freaked out. i even texted my mom to say that "i'm going to have a tooth extracted. i am scared".

i had quite a hard time blurting it out to people that i am indeed scared of my coming appointment. it was just a sort of acknowledgment to what i was really feeling.

i cried while watching Juno because i realized how petty my fear is as compared to what other people are actually experiencing and what i have been through in the past.

i cried because i remembered i once gave birth too (yeah, i sometimes i need to be reminded of that). and my, that one wasn't one easy labor. i was in pain for like 4 hours as contractions came in, i was well-dilated as the doctors said (oops, TMI!) but Xan just refused to cooperate as if he didn't want to come out as easily. i was near faint, i was vomiting and pissing all over and hell, he just didn't want to budge a bit that they had to decide to cut me up.

hehe, i was asked several times if i could just go opt for a CS and all i could say was " ask my mom" the doctors must be having the time of their life when they heard that.

indeed they had to go ask my mom who was waiting nervously outside and just gave the go signal. so there, i got cut up right before the anesthesiologist had to wrestle with me so i could get my spine shot.

"injection lang ang masakit, everything else will be ok"

sigh. i so love my mom. that was her reply to my text message. even if i've been far away almost half my life, making decisions, fending, bearing everything that i could, i always turn to my mom whenever i want to. and she's just always there.

oh well, at least i had a good cry. i just hope i'll do just fine. i mean i've had a minor operation once, i have a few piercings, i get regular wax jobs, how much pain could i not take?

i'll just get myself a tub of ice cream right after then.

HOW TO CONTROL EMOTIONS

This would give you guides on how to control your emotions towards your better-half, friends, officemates and all the people around you, . The rules of practicing " ugaling langit, ugaling kaaya-aya" :

#1 Ang naunang magalit ang may karapatang magalit. Pag naunahan ka na ng galit niya, tumahimik ka na lang muna.

#2 Walang taong nag-aaway mag-isa. Pag hindi kayo sumagot o pumatol, titigil din daw ang taong nakikipag- away sa inyo.

#3 Ang taong galit, 'bingi.' If someone is angry, wala raw pinakikinggan, so, don't try to explain and fight back. Hindi ka niya iintindihin dahil wala siyang naririnig kundi ang sarili nya.

#4 Ang taong galit, 'abnoy.' Ayon sa pastor, Biblical daw ito? because the Lord said when He was crucified, "Father, patawarin mo sila dahil hindi nila alam ang kanilang ginagawa." Modern term for these kinds of people are abnoys, so you better not get angry para huwag kang matawag na abnoy.

You should also know and realize that the persons who make your day bad are jewels , because you need them for you to mature. Hangga't andyan daw sila at kinaiinisan mo, ibig sabihin, immature ka pa. God will not take away those people; it's for you to take away your bad feelings towards them. You'll know na mature ka na pag dumating 'yung time na hindi ka na naiinis sa mga taong ito because you have learned to accept them and to have patience with them.

#5 Finally, the best part of this is to tell yourself na, because of this person, "I will grow mature," and that DAHIL SA CONTRIBUTION NIYA SA MATURITY MO, KUKUNIN DIN SYA NI LORD.

#6...this is my own contribution, and my favorite actually for all couples out there: when you are angry with each other, take all your clothes off and just hold each other's hands. wrestle if you want to. let's just see if you really wanna continue fighting.

chopsuey

wala lang ako maisip na title..magulo utak ko..i just want to write all these stuff down.

******************

great party last saturday, yey! just that i don't feel like goin to side bar for a while muna. i'm not so crazy over those diluted drinks, nah, sorry. i still miss the plain, good, old beer hehe.

*******************

i watched Trainspotting that friday night. the Brit accent will always be cool. but that film is one crazy, crazy ride. :p

*********************

watched Basic Instinct that saturday, ho-hum...Michael Douglas seems to act the same whatever movie he stars in haha. Sharon Stone looks immaculate but she's almost like some mannequin, perfect but lifeless. the love scenes weren't really that hot. or maybe i'm just so full of xtube (oops, lol!)

**********************

sigh, Wicker Park is and will always be a good one. i peeked on those deleted scenes and found it to be more interesting. will start scouting for it's original french version when i get the chance.

**********************

oh yeah, do drop by the second floor at metrowalk for those hard to find dibidis, from classic films to the artsy, obscure ones. i hope to go back there for more.

***********************

feeling pretty bit messed up the past days. my apologies for everyone else who's got the blues too. it's not that i don't wanna acknowledge your hurts, just that right now, it's ours that matters to us the most.

*************************

i'll forever be grateful for friends who understand and show that they care. let the prayer brigade rage on! =)

**************************

i love weekends when there's not much to do and no place else to go. when i'd get too excited about what film to watch next, what the updates are in my online community. just that sometimes, i'd get frazzled as to whether i should eat first or take a bath or just let on and sleep. i thank God for food deliveries when my cupboard runs empty. but i've to admit that at most times i'd rather sleep or munch on crackers when i'm almost too lazy to call/count my change/choose what food to get/let it cost up to the minimun food order. yeah, i'm that lazy sometimes, eh ano naman. :p

****************************

i'm not feeling all blissed-out these days. i'm emo as emo can be, yuck!!!!

amazing!
