What if Snow white has three little pigs instead of seven little dwarves for company?
Malamang hindi niya nakain yung apple; Sigurado rin akong me gagawin siya sa mga baboy niyang kasama, at sasabihin ko na kase excited akong i-share sa inyo.
Tingin ko parehas pa tayu ng iniisip.

Maganda nga namang palamuti yung apple sa lechon.
Sa sobrang tuwa ni Snow white mag-hahanda siya na parang fiesta sa lugar nila for three days na sa bawat araw eh ihahain niya yung mga lechon. Pati si Stepmother na inggit na inggit sa kanya eh a-attend at magdadala ng leche flan as desserts.
Kaso pag naubos nina Snow White yung lechon, I very much doubt it if Prince Charming will come and kiss her.
Iiling-iling si Fox nito, sayang, baboy na napunta pa sa iba...

Rhythm Loss

Wondering why you left too soon,

Heart constantly is asking the soul.

Thinking were you are right now,

Struggling clarity in spite this serenity.

Finally looked up the bright sky,

Saw yours with shimmering splendid smile

Glad you made it pass through

Tearing eyes will never forget you.

Two weeks before winter....

Dear Diary,
Alam mo ba I met a guy today. He is so cute. He came up as I was going inside this shop. I thought he knew me since he approached me first and told me I look lovely on the shirt am wearing. Alam ko binobola lang niya ako kase I only wear T-shirt. Got it? - T-shirt lang my dear Diary. Alam ko na gagawin niya afterwards. and he did, nagpakilala siya sa akin. His name is J (not gonna give his full name baka mabasa ito ni ate mapagalitan ako). He works in a store across the road making snake toys pang fiesta (circa 80s toy). He said his supposed to go for a lunch break tapos paglabas niya nakita niya ako parang nagdadalawang isip papasok sa isang pawnshop so he decided na lapitan ako at kausapin. He look mabait. Alam mo ba diary what strikes me was his eyes. Its almond shape with a little bit of green color on the side, kala ko nga nasisilawan lang ako but they are really greenish. And it is not contact lens. Diary this is real guy! ang ganda ng pagkakatayu, not really muscles and bones but very firm ang physique, aaaay Diary....
So sinabi ko name ko, not my full name, un monicker ko lang, para ma -challenge siya na kilalanin pa niya ako. Diary you will not believe this, pero ang tagal namin nag usap sa labas ng shop. Parang di namin namalayan ang oras. Per my count parang it was almost two hours kase nag order sya ng softdrinks (1 liter for each) eh naubos namin un. At mind you diary, di ako tumutungga ng soda kase kailangan prim and proper ako, si J itong kausap ko eh. Pero talangang naubos namin un buong dalawang litro with matching coco bread na tig-tatlo kami.
then sabi niya dumidilim na daw, he has to go, papagalitan na raw siya nang sister niya. Sabi ko bigla 'wow parehas pala tayu me sister na istrikto'. Sa sobrang tuwa niya sabi niya minsan papa-meet niya sister niya sa akin. pero talagang kailangan na daw siya umuwi.
Natapos ang usapan namin na di ko nakuha cellphone number niya pero alam ko naman saan siya nag work so magkikita pa rin kami. Sure ito diary, I can't wait....

Two week after winter....

Narda: 'ding ang bato, bilis...andyan si valentina sa likod'
Ding: 'te sorry, nai-regalo ko ki Joseph...anniv kase namin kahapon.

Book review

2012-09-13T11:34:00.005+04:00

Malalaman mo ang gusto mong libro kung nagmamadali kang pumunta sa sunod na page kase atat ka malaman anu na mangyayari sa mga bida at kontrabidang sinusubaybayan mo.
Tandaan mo ang libro ay libro, hindi ito tao; pag ikaw sampung oras nang nagbabasa ikaw ay isang gago.
Pero nuknukan akung hanga sayu kase di ka kumain, di ka tumayo, di ka nag-popo mabasa mo lang ang mga kahindik hindik at kapanapanabik na pahina nito eh "Little Prince" lang naman nakita kong hawak mo.

Recommendations:

Fifty shades of grey: with out sex would you still read it? (i do)

American sniper: funny and bad ass sniper kaso american (naman - read the title again)

Lord of the Rings (Trilogy): This is even better than the movie(s). dito singsing tlaga ang pinag uusapan hindi ang effects (cgi).

The shipping news: Pulitzer prize; pang matatalino; meron akong katabing genuis habang binabasa ko ito para me taga-translate.

A short story of nearly everything: pang regalo sa inaanak na ayaw muna pabalikin sa bahay mo sa susunod na pasko; kapal nito eh pasko na ulit page six pa lang sya.

KAMUSTA

2012-09-12T09:02:00.003+04:00

Hello.
whenever someone picks a phone, it so happen that is the first word mentioned by the receiving party.
mapa-anung uri pa man siya nang ka-tao-han, iba man ang salita niya pero pag-na-translate mo eh "hello" pa ring maituturing ito.
bakit kaya hindi nila palitan kahit minsan lamang para makulayan naman ang kwentuhan nila....

Eto aking mga munting suggestions but are not advisable:

J-ello: parang name nung singer
G-ello: bisaya pag ka banggit nung name nung singer
K-ello: ilan gusto niya - half or 1/4
M-ello: anak gusto mo nung me gatas or gawin nating ice candy para masarap
R-ello: swaatch or ty-mex
V-ello: magsisimba or ayaw mainitan
B-ello: tagalog version ng V-ello
Y-ello: tag init na kasuotan
_-ello: pare kapangpangan ito. Sure! walang "h"

'i know this is crazy. here's my number so call me, maybe'....

Have you tried sneezing in front of the newspaper you're reading.
A friend of mine did.
Naawa ako sa newspaper; my heart mealts down from that guy's nose beating.
That damned paper has made its way to him to be read; putting it to circulation means a lot to anyone who made it lest make it a sneezing net.

Story - mairap gumawa ng istorya totoo man or hindi, kapani-paniwala or nakakakot. Iba ka istorya, ginagawa mo ang lahat para magkabuhay ang pahina sa newspaper ko.

Writer - you wake up to write, eat to write, you work to write, you run to write, you sleep to write. and then, you pray hard that your writing will be publish and "voila" it did. And then this happen, the slime got into the contents of your story. I am really sorry.

Photographer - a click here, a click there; picture here, picture there. just one click and there goes that one image that makes a lot of story. This is your moment, the moment all of the people are wondering why that slime got to that image.

Proof reader/editor - nakakapagod pero nakakatuwa linisin ang ipa-publish na istorya; you correct phrase here, you adjust sentence there and you design paragraph structure everywhere. Your effort is always underrated kase di ka nakikita sa author name line and then all of the sudden malalaman mo nadumihan ung edited page mo dahil sa sisipuning mambabasa. Tama ka you should have work in TV instead.

Publisher - yung lahat ng pawis mo invested sa newspaper mo. ginamit mo lahat ng utak at pera mo para itayu ito at isang sipon lang ang sisira nang pinag hirapan mo. bumangon ka at magtayu ng water refilling station. Tubong tubig ang kikitain mo rito.

Berto: Pero kait na anu sabiin nila at i-blame kait na sinu ang lupeet pa rin ng feeling pag pinatong mo un newspaper sa lamesa mo at gawing patungan ng beer, brandy, tequila, mani at barbeque.

You may sneeze now. Thank you.

Angels

2012-09-08T21:22:00.001+04:00

We always look at to them.

We tend to remain loyal to them since they will be faithful to us.

They are called Angels.

They don't have a sex. As I believe they are neither male nor female; neither a frog nor an insect; neither a tree nor a flower.

They are just that, Angels.

Now, what if these so called angels have an appearance.

A "hugis" if so say so,

Are we still going to be loyal to them and are they gonna be faithful to us?

Herewith are some four choices:

Brad Preitt - Itsura pa lang ibibigay ko na katawan ko sa kanya. He is the guy. He is the angel who I want to protect me. Kaso when he visited Anthony Hoopkens sa office niya, something is a remiss in that scene.

Angel Looksin - She is the one. Kaso malamang ako magbantay sa kanya. Eh kung mapunta siya sa iba. No no, I won't have her angel-ing anyone except me. Sabiin muna selfish ako pero Berto tandaan mo Angel Looksin ito, hindi ito ibang Anghel dre...

Angel na hugis Ahas - Somehow this doesn't makes sense. It's a remote possibility but distinctly plausible. Di naman lahat ng ahas masama kaso ahas pa rin sila kaya mukhang malabo pagkatiwalaan.

And Finally...

Angel na hugis mo - I mean ikaw mismo ang kamukha. Aber, would you trust yourself kung ang angel mo eh kamukha mo at nagbibigay sayu ng advice kung anu pwide mo gawin. Siguro sa una you would try it, maybe for a fun lang ba, pero I doubt if you will push it further down the line na pagkatiwalaan mo kamukha mo na magpapayo sayu. Let us put it this way, kung ikaw nga sa sarili mo me doubt ka kung anu ka sa mundo un pa kayang walang kasarian ang magpapayo sau at pagkakatiwalaan mo.

Buti na lang wala sila kamukha. Wala din kase silang kaparis.

change kase the conversation

2012-09-08T19:18:00.000+04:00

I am lucky today.
Bakit?
I almost win the lottery.
Ha?
Yeah, you heard me right, I almost win...
Then it's not luck kase "almost" lang.
But you have to start at somewhere.

I got angry at you today.
Bakit?
I almost believe you win the lottery.
Ha?
Yeah, you heard me right, I almost believe.
Then it's not angry kase "almost" lang.
But you have to start from somewhere.

"ewan ko sayu!"
"Hmmmp. ewan ko rin sayu!!!"

That's the last time Batman and Robin talked to each other.
They never fight together again.
Tuwang tuwa si Joker.

winter of discontent

2012-09-06T23:45:00.004+04:00

How do you know if winter is for you...
If Spring is crazy,
The Summer is deadly
and that kind of Autumn is lonely.

Author (J): Good morning

Berto (B): Morning

Terens Maaaaaalik(TM): Gud am

J: how come it took you two years to make another film?

B: me? are you talking to me?

TM: its not about the length of time i tried to produce or make the film, its about why i can't make a film on time.

J: is it creative block or just plain nothingness?

TM: there are things out of your hand like "time".

B: I can make a chicken look like a pig because of time

J: but you wasted "time" because you expected it to come to you...

B: chicken when feed for 30 days can be butchered and sold for 169 php a kilo in the prevailing market condition

TM: Time has no limit; Time has a capacity to circumvent necessity

J: but Time has no liberty; it might be infinite at first glance when passed along but it can never be return back.

TM: you are right. i'm gonna sleep now and waste some more time

B: hey, wanna buy my chicken?

Lovers

2012-09-06T21:13:00.001+04:00

I saw them coming.
They were walking towards me.
I of all alone in the dawn of the evening was crossing the bridge hurrying up and wanting to remove the numbness inside me.
I immediately stop. My eyes perplexed on them now.
Here they are; two lovers showing affection on each other.
The woman glowing with delight; her smile shimmering endlessly.
Her man fixing his eyes in her, not letting go of her, caressing her left cheek and slowly putting it close near him.
Two individual whose certainly unmindful of people around them;
Holding each other hands; showcasing their desires for each other so that the world may know.
As I began to walk again, coming towards the center of the bridge, I cannot help myself to wonder how love can fuse two different background and share a bond so eternal so unbreakable.
I am so glad I saw them. I am so thankful I become a believer of love.
As they near me, I plan to say how am grateful to them for their infectious showpiece.
They are moving near me and myself getting ready for the moment.
Moving close in front I begin to be ready.
I have to say what I have to say and do what I have to do.
Tinulak ko sila pahulog sa bridge. wisss... kabilahan.
haharang kase, kitam nagmamadali ako,sakit na kaya tiyan ko...

Berto: aaahhh...the mysteries of love!

Desisyon mo, boto ko.

2009-06-22T12:10:00.000+04:00

Pulubi ka. Wala kang pera. Wala kang pangkain;
Masakit ang tiyan mo dail sa gutom
Sa ganyang kalagayan mo, anu pipiliin mo?

Congratulation

2009-06-08T12:34:00.002+04:00

I like to congratulate myself for giving me the desire to once again write in this blog.
The past few months were terrible to say the least:
Things are now in the past; everything is settled and the train is moving again, albeit slowly....
I can wait. I can surely wait now that i've been out of the rough.
If your gonna ask me if it's hell in there, naaaaahhhh...
Its heaven but ain't a bliss.

Thank You

2009-03-28T09:56:00.002+04:00

Thank you! thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, tahnk you, tahnk you, tahnk you , tahnk you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, you thank, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,

Erratum

2009-02-18T14:13:00.002+04:00

Pag nagkamali ka, kaya mo pa kayang balikan at isa tama ito?

Sabi nila oo, pero pag naipublish na ang sinulat pwide pa bang habulin un batang nag titinda nun sinulat mo at sabiing: "anak mali yan,akina at papalitan ko"....

Mairap magkamali pero sa tingin ko mas mairap maging tama, halos lahat ng oras pag ikaw ay mali,di ka na nila sisihin dail wala na sila maiaasa sa iyo sa kadailanan ikaw ay wlang ginawang tama. Kabaklitaran naman ito pag palagi kang tumpak at isang araw, un isang araw na yun eh nagkamali ka, isang pagkakamaling nagpabagsak sau...

Alam ko isa ka sa maraming taong minsan lang magkamali pero yung isang pagkakamali mo ang sumira sau: pumasok ka ng opisina na suot suot mo pa kapa mo....

Huli ka SUPERMAN!!!

I just found out that one of my friends got laid off from work. Sad tale but that’s reality, we are all in a bunch of boxes full of chocolates and we don’t know if were ready to be eaten or not.

Life goes on for one of these friends of mine; thank God being optimistic was one of his attributes. I can honestly say he will find again another job, he has to, and he has no way to go but sort out the highway and find comfort in being employed again.

Winter of 2007

2009-02-03T09:07:00.004+04:00

It was one month and thirteen days past in the year.
I can still clearly remember.
He was there, walking out of that store;
He was carrying the normal bunch of flowers: red shiny glowing roses.
Each petal of those shimmering splendid roses captivated his glow to show his affection to those eyes waiting for him outside.
It was a part of the theater, a mesmerizing moment as he laid those flowers to the hands of those beautiful eyes.
He was thankful; at last he had conquered the world.

As they walked hand in hand toward the horizon, their eyes fixed towards each other, unmindful of the deluge of people peeping them, they succumbed to a never unending bliss. A bliss that unifies both of eternal damnation for its was not meant to be.

I did not saw mommy kissing santa claus last night, what i saw was my sister kissing Zuma in delight.

Gypsy

2008-11-13T09:24:00.003+04:00

i found out that i am a gypsy in one way or another.

i remain to one area in a span of time and move again to another one as soon as i am feed up with the environment i am into.

i could not believe it at first but i saw it in my own eyes at this very moment. i've been jamming with friends for about a week now in one area alone, enjoying the breath of the polluted air and the customary walks of people from every day life.

but i am waiting for the moment to go again and look for another venue to hang out with what gypsies do:look, stay, enjoy and move on...

Everyone is a gypsy.Everyone....

busy days

foggy thursday

2008-10-16T13:52:00.002+04:00

i woke up in the morning

smelled dafodils all around me

watched the mist go down my window,

can't believe winter has drawn.

i hurriedly step down the stairs to see

what a magnificient view it can be

i watched how it goes down

the foggy clouds invading on me

as people watched me in delight celebrating the nature in me

i incessantly wondered why....

nakalimutan ko pala mag pantalon as i watched foggy thursday!

HAPPY

2008-10-13T10:09:00.002+04:00

I've attended two birthday parties in a span of two weeks.
I'd say i observed a lot about these soirees....

Paanu ba maging masaya ang happy birthday party mo? Heres some suggestions i got from the experts:

H - Hot chicks... dpat meron kang ganito sa party mo, kait pangit ang mga guys basta ang chicks malulupet. Madadala mo ang party kait saan, kait wla kang pera.

A - Amoy. importanteng me amoy ang handa mo. Hindi lang amoy na masarap, pero ung talagang masarap. Ikaw at ang handa mong pagkain ang magbibigay sau ng maraming bati hindi ang suot mo.

P - People. Sinu sinu ba invited mo, kung tatlo lang kayung umattend at kait wala yun celebrant magiging masaya pa rin ang birthyda party, yun na yun, kase maiintindian niya kait wala sya dail para sa kanya itong birthday party na ito. tama ba baby!?

P - Pihikan. wag kang pihikan sa birthday mo. pangit ang resulta nito. meron akong barkada naka receive siya ng ice cream sa bisita niya, un tahimik ang bisita pero un ice cream hindi. ang resulta: i remember the quezo real but don't remember the guest (kanta ito...sing it...).

Y - Yup. English word na patok na patok sa party. Hijo sarap ng pagkain ha, Yup! Miss kilala mo me birthday, Yup!, ikaw ba nagluto nito,Yup!, sarap ha!, iba ka talaga pare, galing birthday mo, Yup!, Berto labas mo na alak? Yup!

So that's it for me, enjoy the parteeeeee!

"Kung di ka nga naman tinamaan ng lintek.
What do you want in your relationship? you want to destroy or norture it?"

ganyan tayu palagi, we do silly stuff sometimes just to boost our ego, para sabiin na ng tropa na malupet tayu, na saksakan tayu ng galing pag dating sa relationships. Na "bro- i can handle this" statement ang palagi nating sinsabi sa mga kakosa kase we want to proved something, na kung kaya nila ay kaya ko rin.

Alam mo bang this one belief is so pathetic. Bakit gagawin mo ang gusto ng tao para sau eh kung alam mo naman na di mo kaya ito. And beside, we might live on one planet alone but we're a different species. ikaw at ako kait pagsabay sabayin pa natin gawin yun, kait parehas pa ang sistema and procedures na gusto mo ipagawa sa isat-isat, iba pa rin result nun sa kanya kanyang tao kase ibat ibat species tayu....

Berto gets mo....

Berto: hindi boss, meron akong pulutan dito mackerel gusto mo?

FARM

2008-09-20T11:59:00.007+04:00

I always wanted to have a farm when I retire into oblivion.

I deserve some space to bring solace to my weary mind

I need something like this.

ranting

2008-09-08T15:20:00.002+04:00

Why is it people rant about something and someone?

I really dont know either...

galit ba sila sa mundo or talagang yung lang paraan nila para masatisfy cravings nila for some actions.

Ranting means from dictionary.com: to speak or declaim extravagantly or violently; talk in a wild or vehement way.

Do we like doing it na we do it everytime mayroon tayung kinaiinisan?

I guess we will never know because for once what i am doing now is a form of ranting.

No blog

2008-09-03T10:00:00.002+04:00

kinda hectic and manic the last week or so with work that's why i dont have the strength to move the cursor and start jotting my ideas for my blog....

fortunately all is quite in the office today so i finally log on.

What ever you have in your mind di lahat un pwide isulat, di lahat pwide gawin at di lahat pwide sabiin.

case in point:

di pwide isulat - pag wala ka maisip, ang ginagawa ng utak mo ay mag isip ng wala, malamang un ay di pwide isulat

di pwide gawin - kung ikaw ay tulog at ang isip mo ay gusto na gumising, sige nga ikaw ba gusto mo umalis sa pagkakatulog at magtrabaho na, no no no way Berto, ur not coming over here to wake me up

di pwide sabiin - kung sa inaakala mo ay sasabiin ni clark kent na sya si superman, nagkakamali ka, kung un pag lagay niya ng salamin eh nagoyo ka niya na hindi mo maaninag na sya ay si man of steel, sasabiin pa kaya niya,wait pag nilasing mo sya malamang mapaamin, pre 'dre long shot un,si superman un,di nalalasing ang mga ganun...

Quotes from Techy guy

2008-08-26T08:41:00.002+04:00

We were having dinner, just the three of us, Techy guy, angelina and me...

I couldn't help but wonder how come techy guy was so enamored by this woman he recently met

Well, its hard to see from his movements if he is really beholden to this girl but read out between the lines what he is saying:

* alam mo pag magkasama kami tumitigil ang mundo ko (baka naman nasa cr ka at irap ka umiri)

* ayaw ko kase mawala ka (baka indi pa sya nag babayad ng utang sau)

*di pa ba importante na andito ako sau (dude me trabaho sya wag ka istorbo)

*ikaw lang ang napapasaya sa akin ( free jokes)

*sana lahat ng tama ay tama na lang, sana lahat ng mali ay mali na lang (tumpak berto)

* lam ko pag me problema ako andyan ka palagi ('dre ok lang nursing kaya natapos niya)

*pag smile ako,smile din sya (baliw?)

Take your pick, piso piso lang...
