change

nakakasawa pa lang mag-lead. ng tao? oo ng tao. lalo na pag slow yung nile lead mo. lalo na pag ang akala mo naiintindihan ka, hindi pala. nagpapanggap. nakakasawa. nakakairita.

nakakasawa din ang maling sistema. masyado ng madaming maling sistema lately sa kapaligiran ko. nakakairita na rin. hindi lahat ng matanda ay lumawak ang pag iisip at natuto sa buhay. yung iba talaga umasa lang. hindi nagkaron ng growth. kawawa.

nakakasawa ang tsismis. cheap ang dating. well lalo na kapag ang pinagtsi tsismisan ay ako. nakakairita. wala na ba kayong makikitang tama? puro mali na lang ba ang dapat na naamoy? nakikita? nararamdaman? hay ang tsismis ang trabaho ng mga taong walang ginagawa!

nakakasawa ang gumawa ng trabaho ng iba.... ng mga tamad na tao. mga taong walang alam kung hindi mag-delegate. or, yung iba sadyang wala na lang ginagawa. naghihintay na lang ng pagbabago na gagawin ng iba. trouble is, sya dapat ang gumagawa nun kaso dahil sa may posisyon sya, delegate. anung gagawin nya? wala. wala lang.nakakahiya sa akin.

nakakasawa ang umasa sa gobyerno. nakakasawa ng umasa kay Pnoy. nakakairita. wala akong maramdamang pagbabago. si angelo reyes lately nasa libingan ng mga bayani? freak!si noynoy panay ang pasaring kay imelda at bongbong marcos? wala na ba syang ibang alam gawin kundi yun? yung mga OFW natin na nasa ibang bansa, sa libya, sa new zealand, wala bang mangyayari dun?iniisip ko nga kung si gordon ba ang nanalo magiging ganto ba ang pilipinas ngayon? nakakaloka. sobra.

rain

rain at palawan. he has been my constant travel buddy =D

Rain. he was born last may 5, 2007. he was 7.8lbs, big and has a white complexion. allan was so happy when he saw rain. sabi nya, "YES! maputi!" so happy na rin ako. according to tradition, paglabas ng bata, dapat daw paarawan ito every morning. ewan ko kung baket. siguro connected dito ang pag-absorb ng skin ng vitamin D para lumakas lalo yung baby. at syempre pa, month of may at year 2007 pa non, umalis si allan papuntang romblon kasi dun sya naka-destino for the election. hirap ako. may separation anxiety ako that time kasi kakapanganak ko lang pero pinilit kong maging okay. and i was. ang problema, after two weeks, pagbalik ni allan from romblon, nakita nya si rain....maitim na!

dahil ba sa araw? -ewan. pero infairness to my son, maitim sya pero hindi sya mukhang madumi. cute sya at madaming tao ang very fond sa kanya. (well isa yan sa mga prayer ko which i learned from ate levy feria - pastor's wife namin) - Lord, nawa po paglumabas ang anak ko sana madaming matuwa sa kanya. madaming macu-tan, madaming gustong kumarga sa kanya, kumausap...yun! answered prayer naman. 

rain at bsu. walang tao? yes. sunday kasi yan. 2009. sat and sun ang sked ko sa bsu dati =D

eh bakit si rain ang laman ng blog ko ngayon? siguro kasi ibang level na ang separation anxiety ko now...madalas kasi wala na sya sa tabi ko. madalas hindi na sya ko hinahanap. at lately, hindi na sya sa potty nya dumudumi kundi sa toilet bowl namin....mga twice na. although happy naman ako na nakita ko yung transition na yun sa buhay ni rain, potty to toilet bowl, na-sad pa rin ako. hindi na sya ang baby boy ko. sa sunod siguro hindi na ako ang maghuhugas ng pwet nya. hindi na nya ako tatawagin. magiging ambivalent na naman ako when that time comes.

well, ganun siguro talaga ang mga mommy sa generation namin. may mga lucid periods lang. eto nga oh, patapos na lucidity ko =D

street food

comfort food. it's what i call "street foods" that i buy sometimes. comfort in the sense that when you eat them, you feel less stressed, less burdened....happy.

last week was literally our street food day. =D

isaw, atay, tenga + grill = happiness! 

itlog na pula forever!

kwek-kwek with vinegar! the best =D

aj and jop call this one as hotdog na may proteksyon - anu daw??? =D

after all of those food, our desert...

mango with bagoong alamang! yes! what a day! =D

fireworks

Last February 19, i urged my family to go to the 2nd Philippine International Pyromusical Competition. Boy, it sure was a jaw-dropping experience and am glad i pushed them. =D

I have just recently read on the blog http://www.ourawesomeplanet.com/ that if you plan to go to the event, go there on February 19 because its the day when the United Kingdom will present and it is the defending champion. Sure enough, United Kingdom's presentation went beyond my expectation and i liked that!

the United Kingdom presentation

the Portugal presentation

Event will be until March 12 but before you go there, here are some pointers:
1. Be there before or at least 4pm. you can have a great view of the sunset and you can have a decent seat (not exactly decent but enough for you to see the fireworks at the bay floor) we were late. no seats for us.booo!
2. Bring a chair if you know you will be late.
3. Bring water. Water there is expensive. you can buy at SM Hypermart near the Sunset Road.
4. Parking is a big problem for late comers. Again, be there early.
5. Bring some food. you will be waiting a lot. inside are just cart foods like sweet corn and popcorn.
6. You can reserve ticket through ticketnet,911-5555. Ticket ranges from silver-100, gold-200, vip- 500, vip with dinner-1500. =D no tickets necessary if you will not go inside the bay area but you can still see the fireworks there.
7. Don't forget to bring your camera/ videocam and enjoy!

manzanilla

have you ever tried one of these?

rain calls them cherries =D

had a taste of manzanilla (aka aratiles - dunno if i spelled it correctly, i hope i did!) once again when we were at pangasinan with my family. the tree was there and it was so enticing! every branch has a bunch of ripe, cherry looking manzanilla and we just can't help it. we have to go up through chairs, climb, stoop, just to get some fruits for rain and summer...

yummy!

and because of that, i remembered some childhood memories....when i was 8 years old, i would go home earlier just to get some manzanilla from our neighbor's tree. home earlier because, its like 2pm and none of my friends would be out by that time because they were sleeping. in that case, i feel like i technically "own the tree". the passion ended when i stepped in high school. climbing a tree and getting some manzanilla then seemed awkward =D

getting a tiny-teeny fruit is like body mechanics in nursing...pulling is better than pushing =D

not until now........ you should try eating this fruit sometime. it is juicy and sweet with granules! =D

hot air balloon

have you ever craved for something so much?i am now. crave according to the dictionary is HUNGER. well i am not really hungry for things to be eaten but i am hungry to see the hot air balloon since last february 10 this year. so hungry and craving that even in my dreams, the balloons appear....whoa! this morning, on my way to work, i again saw the tv featuring the hot air balloon! darn!now i hope that this would stop fast...and get out of my system because if not......i will be out of my league once again....

i know, they're environment friendly since their not hot-air! (denial)

posted this one last february 11. come february 13, the hot air ballon's last day, nothing happened. but, i had these instead!

well, at least i had some balloons!
