Sony’s NGP into PS Vita

2011-07-29T11:19:00.000-07:00

Being a huge fan of Sony’s PSP, I had been waiting for this Sony’s latest version of this device. The moment I saw the video of the preview of this device, my mind is disturbed of wanting to have it in my hand. As Kazuo Hirai, CEO of Sony Entertainment, promised in an interview with New York Times that they would impress the gamers in the market with the combination of touch screens and buttons rather than touch screen games such as the IPhone and Ipod Touch, on January 27, 2011, Sony announced on a “PlayStation Meeting” in Japan that this device codenamed as NGP (Next Generation Portable) will be powerful as PlayStation 3. The fuss and the craze begin. It was anticipated since 2009, aside from the released of PlayStation Portable Go, Sony Computer Entertainment had officially named the controversial NGP ( Next Generation Portable) as PlayStation Vita (pronounced as vee-tah, vita means life in Latin) last June 6, 2011.

Who will not drool over this powerful device? Two versions will be released, the Wi-Fi only and the Wi-fi+3G version. The main screen is inches (16:9), 960 x 544, Approx. 16 million colors, OLED. Multi touch screen with rich, clear color and full HD visual graphics. It has SIXAXIS motion sensor technology, which is good in playing racing games like Need for Speed or Wipe Out, it is equipped with dual analog sticks, front and rear camera and built in GPS system. It has 2 main social program; party and rear for online connectivity.

Rumors spreading that the device will be released this holiday season in US, Europe and in Japan. Sony released the price of this gadget too, for the Ps Vita Wi-Fi only, the price is $249 in US, £249 in Europe and ¥24,980 in Japan. On the other hand, the 3G+Wi-Fi Vita will cost $299, £299 and ¥29,980. Despite of the excitements and noise about the PlayStation Vita, they are not still announcing the date on when will it be release worldwide. I am sure it would be highly anticipated here in Abu Dhabi.

This is how HE proposed..

2011-03-31T15:41:00.000-07:00

It was March 12 this year that we planned to hike at Mt. Tarak, Mariveles at Bataan, Philippines. It was supposed to be my last climb since I am going abroad. The hiked was fun and our foods and drinks were loaded. After reaching the campsite at mid afternoon, the girls including me cooked for our dinner.
I prepare my kare-kare and binagoongan for our group. It was midnight and almost all of us are drunk and friends keep teasing us about me leaving my bf. It was an ordinary climb until early in the morning, 2 of my friend woke me up and blind folded me with a handkerchief..and so it goes..

A memory I would cherish forever. Thanks to my mahal, and those who are his kasabwat.. TCF members.. An early wake up call, blindfolded and surprised.. an unforgettable mountain which you can always view at the check point of Cavite City.. A supposed to be a despedida climb for me turns into a proposal thing..
♥ I Love every moment♥

The next step I made..

2011-03-31T12:35:00.000-07:00

So now it started to sink in.. I left my home, my parents, my bf just to start my new life in a new place. I had thought of this for a long time but its just now that I'm starting to realize the impact of my decision. They might say I am an ambitious one but everyone wants a better life..a better job and a better pay. Sadly, but it turns out that I can't find it in my own country.

I thought this is the one way that I wanted to proved that I am growing up that I had plans too but it's heartbreaking..yeah..homesick..Maybe I'll get used to it or maybe I should find something that makes me forget.. I am trying my best to hold back what I am feeling, I don't want to be effected that much but it sucks that the longer I am away, the hurt lingers more..

Sacrifice, that's what they say.. every sacrifices has its fruits. I think what I need is not more courage rather more patience that I can get through with this.. we all can.. the simple pictures, chats and greets becomes more of my strength which before I never gave attention to. The messages, comments and the likes cheers me up which I ignored before. So I am new in this thing called life but I am trying my best to like it..to fit in and to understand it..

Mt. Malasimbo, Oriental Mindoro

2010-06-09T11:20:00.001-07:00

Cute Face Team Member (Edelmar Guleng) Opinion:

(See below ratings on a 1 - 10 scoring....)
> 1-5 = worst to slightly fair
>6-10 = fair to best...)

MT. MALASIMBO

Location: 10/10 -(sidetrip @ white beach,galera..nice DIP!)
Weather: 1/10 -(dang-init eh! ala-Nagsasa times 2 pa)
Scenery: 8/10 -(minus 2 pts. wla view sa summit)
Trail: 5/10 -(assult...assault....at isa pang assault...lintek na!)
Technicality: 8/10 -(assault..loose soil/rocks...may kiz sa "marmol"
nde kiz d wall...slippery when wet! ..hehe!)
Water Source: 5/10 -(meron nung paakyat,pagbaba wla na!)
Campsite: 6/10 -(180deg. ang view...open pero mainit kahit gabi..

1pt. pra sa ganda ng buwan..muntik na kaming
mag-nyt trek pa-summit)
Trail to Summit: 5/10 -(mossy forest kya lintek na LIMATIK!)
Jumpoff: 8/10 -(tahimik nung paakyat...pagbaba bakbakan na!
hanep ang suntukang MANGYAN!!! hehehe
Guideship: 1/10 -(100 per head ang singilan..paakyat lng!)
ihahatid ka lng sa campsite..tapos uuwi na
gagabihin daw siya eh..
Community: 7/10 -frendly mga tao..hospitable...
minus 3pts.,marunong na rin silang "MANAGA"
sa mga dayo..
Overall: 6/10 -(kahit all expense paid nde na ako babalik dun!)
charged it to experience....

Personally, I am wondering if the other site that we used as a guide to climb was right. Why? because he classified Mt. Malasimbo as 4/9 where Mt. Natib is 5/9, based on experience, Malasimbo is more difficut to climb. Second, why did that site remove the Mt. Malasimbo in their Mountain Finder?.. Third, I want to see someone who reached the peak of Malasimbo because we tried to climb the summit however, when we got there, there is no clearing and the trail on both sides are nothing..We haven't reaced the dome type peak .. We don't know if there is really a trail to the summit or we just trek the wrong trail.. Fourth, people keep on posting their pictures of Mt. Malasimbo while in fact they are posing on just a view of Malasimbo while they are in Mt. Talipanan..I havent't seen pictures in the dome peak itself.. This upsets me, Malasimbo can be a day hike????? including the summit???? that is very impressive I guess.. Maybe its just me because I'm a new climber but based on our experience and the experience of our teams who are well experienced, this mountain to be climbed up until the dome of Malasimbo has been disappointing. We tried to trek the summit but it leads us to nowhere while infested by limatiks. Did anyone climbed the marble rocks there? or saw the Cave on the slope of the Mountain? because if you do, maybe we are on the right trek..LOL..

However, we just enjoyed ourselves to Puerto Galera, a price for our tiredness..

well to keep you posted, I had documented our trek to Malasimbo..Just watch and reply if our trek is right or wrong.. Actually, the part where the Lani screams about Limatik is the part we are already confused if that is the summit or we have the wrong trail..or if there is really a trail to the summit because doc randy and kuya ruchie checked both sides but they haven't seen it..

My first time to kill a chicken Video

2010-05-06T12:07:00.000-07:00

Have I ever mention this story? I guess not since it happens 3 weeks ago. Well, our friends invited me and
jerah to come over to his father's house. After an hour and 30 mins. of transport, we arrived at their humble

home. Well, the travel is worth it because of the foods they cooked. The plan was really to have a drink with them but I never expected that much..lol.. and because of drunkness, kuya rod's father invited us to sleep over.

After that long night, we woke up late and they told us that they are going to kill a chicken for our lunch. Therefore, I insisted to participate because I never experience killing a chicken before nor an animal, except from insects and pests. Super excited as I am plus a super hangover...this is the result of myself killing a chicken..hahaha

The drinking never stop there, after our breakfast and the killing of the chicken they invited us again to drink..but I can't anymore..maybe a zip or two but after that I am really wasted..hehe

hmmm..well the video tells it all.. :)

Jejemon Rewiew

2010-04-29T10:58:00.000-07:00

I was signed-in in my facebook account and got curious of what my friends posting in their walls. The word is "jejemon" and some, "jejermskie." So feeling stupid on myself and thinking, how come I didn't know that word. I thought it was related to cartoon Pokemon or some online games character, thus, I researched what jejemon word means.

According too urbandictionary.com

1) Usually seen around social networking sites such as Friendster and Multiply, jejemons are individuals with low IQs who spread around their idiocy on the web by tYpFing LyK diZS jejejeje, making all people viewing their profile raise their eyebrows out of annoyance. Normal people like you and me must take a Bachelor of Arts in Jejetyping in order to understand said individuals, as deciphering their text would cause a lot of frustration and hair pulling.

CAUTION: THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE BREEDING! THEY CAN BE SEEN WRECKING GRAMMATICAL HAVOC ON FACEBOOK TOO!

2) Jejemons are not just confined to trying-hard Filipino gangsters and emos. A Jejemon can also include a variety of Latino-Hispanic fags who enjoy typing "jejejejeje" in a wider context, much to the disdain of their opponents in an internet MMORPG game such as Ragnarok and DOTA.

3) Basically anyone with a low tolerance in correct punctuation, syntax and grammar. Jejemons are usually hated or hunted down byJejebusters or the grammar nazi to eradicate their grammatical ways.

After knowing this which really made me laugh, I was surprised that there are jejemon haters.. hahaha..I don't know if I'm not updated on this thing or I just don't mind other people ways of typing...hahaha

So are you one of the JEJEMONS???hahaha

Dream Interpretation Dictionary

2010-04-19T10:06:00.001-07:00

I had a weird dream last night. I can't remember all but just about climbing a mountain while, I decided to jump off the cliff..I remember the grassland and other people or a family falling but floating from the mountain. I remember there are nurses and I'm in a
hospital room but I'm not a patient.. It actually feels weird so I decided to look for the interpretation of every symbols I saw..

This is from the Dreammoods.com

Mountains
To see mountains in your dream, signify many major obstacles and challenges that you have to overcome. If you are on top of the mountain, then it indicates that you have achieved and realized your goals. You have recognized your full potential. Alternatively, mountains denote a higher realm of consciousness, knowledge, and spiritual truth.

To dream that you are climbing a mountain, signifies your determination and ambition.

To dream that you fall off a mountain, suggests that you are in a hurry to succeed without thoroughly thinking about your path to success. Or that you are being forced upward toward a direction that you do not want to go or that you are not ready to proceed. Falling off a mountain, could also mean that you have a tendency to give up or escape from demanding situations.

Grass

To see green grass in your dream, suggests that there is a part of yourself that you can always rely on. The dream is also symbolic of natural protection. Also consider the phrase "the grass is always greener on the other side." Do you always compare yourself with others and look at what other people have?

To dream that you are planting grass, indicates that your hard work and efforts will pay off in the end.

People

To see people you know in your dream, signifies qualities and feelings of those people that you desire for yourself.

To see people you don't know in your dream, denotes hidden aspects of yourself that you need to confront.

To see people from your past in your dream, refers to your shadow and other unacknowledged aspects of yourself. It can represent a waking situation that is bringing out similar feelings as your past relationships.

Floating

To dream that you are floating on air, indicates your contentment and acceptance of some situation. You are letting go of your problems or worries and just going with the flow. As a result, you are experiencing new-found freedom. You will rise above your obstacles that may presently seem overwhelming. Alternatively, it suggests that you wandering through life aimlessly with no goals.

To dream that you are floating in water, suggests that you have a handle on your emotions.

To dream that you are floating, but are afraid to move, suggests that you are questioning your own abilities. You are experiencing doubts in yourself.

Nurse

To dream that you are a nurse, suggests that you need to show more compassion in a situation.

To see a nurse in your dream, denotes that you need to be taken care of. It may also suggest that you need to take time out for healing, either mentally, physically or spiritually.

Hospital
To see or dream that you are in a hospital, symbolizes your need to heal or improve your physical or mental heath. You need to get back to the flow of everyday life. Alternatively, it suggests that you are giving up control of your own body or that you are afraid of losing control of your body.

So I had figure it out somehow..try to interpret yours to.. have fun :)

Life is so full of Drama

2010-04-18T10:10:00.000-07:00

Maybe it's a part of reality that there comes a time that when you look around you, there is a lot of drama happening. The crying people, the hurted ones, those people who are angry and those people who don't talk but deep inside, he/she is in pain. There's a lot drama going on. Sometimes they just burst out and you'll be shocked that after all these years you didn't know that they have a grudge on you.

I know, these situations can't be avoided but I just have one question to those who don't speak their feelings especially when they are hurt.. Why? Why can't you? I mean, there's nothing wrong on that its just that I keep wondering how can they compressed their feelings like that. And when they burst out, do you think the person that hurts you can absorb your anger after all these years?It's a different thing.

I don't know why I keep on blogging on emotions now a days..maybe because I, myself wanted to express my thoughts on these factors.

I am not an expert nor a professional on this matter but I had proven that it is more hurtful when you didn't speak your pain rather than sharing it to others and cry out loud..

The Beer/Alcohol Generation

2010-04-16T05:16:00.000-07:00

My mom was nagging me yesterday of why most of the young ones today are drinking alcohol. Well, in their days, they are not used to drink and went home sober and late. I just simply told her, "well mom, today is a different generation" this, i call, the beer/alcohol generation.

I don't know if you all agree that most of the hang outs today, alcohol is one important thing you wouldn't forget. Whether you'll just hang out with your friend's house, going on a swim, climbing mountains, skim boarding, out of towns, vacations, etc. Alcohol completes our happennings. I'm not saying this because I'm alcoholic or alcohol dependent but just look around you, most of your friends are having fun. Yeah, that's the line i should have told my mom, "we're just having fun?"

Of course, I understand my mom being worried about me, or other parents feeling the same way. My safety and health is usually the risk, although it's not sinking onto me yet, I still know when to rest a bit. LOL

Todays generation we're not used to just chat around and crack jokes in a corner because sometimes alcohol make us more open to a group. It also help us to relax a bit and share our life, ideas and opinions. Sometimes it gives us more friends but sometimes it gives us enemies..

So you better know your limit..LOL

So there are advantages and disadvantages of drinking but the main point is "let's all have fun while young!" LOL but know your limitations and always be safe. Make sure of the group you're into and never ever came home late while you can sleep at your friend's house and rest..WAHAHAHA

Am I such a bad influence???well, it's just a defense.. I bet my mom will nag again if she read this...*LOL* Peace Mom!! *wink*

Expect the Unexpected at Mt. Nagsasa traverse to Nagsasa Cove

2010-04-15T13:07:00.000-07:00

This has to be my third climb, Mt.Nagsasa Cove at Zambales. At first, I thought the climb will be that easy especially it has 450 masl. Yep, i was wrong.. We start the jump-off at quarter to 9am, I thought I was prepared but I never thought that we will be very as in very exposed to the sun. So our expectations were not really met like;

-the minor climb for beginners becomes major because of the sun

-the 45 meters river crossing becomes 45 meters of rocky trail

-the "take 5" (5 minutes of break) becomes take 15 or 20

-the 3 to 4 hours of trek to the beach becomes 6 to 7 hours

-seeing unfamiliar trees/flowers/animals becomes seeing burned grass and trees

-the easy trail becomes easy looooonnnggggg trail (LOL)

-the strength to back trek becomes returning using a boat (it's a relief)

-the delicious tinolang manok (food that we requeste) becomes tinolang lamok

-Lastly and really important, my whole trip pictures becomes formatted memory (F***ing Stupid)

Hmmm but the fun was there especially we have new friends, bj, yse, zeck and tommy. The beach was amazing too, heard that santino's may bukas pa used to film there. In a nutshell, its a mix of not to expect, what to expect, and expect the unexpected (i didn't get it either LOL). I'm still depressed because of my camera.. at least i got videos.. So I suggest, always remember NOT to or NEVER play with your camera while on trip or else you'll end up blaming yourself for the pictures gone in the wind (bitterness LOL)

Just a Thought

2010-04-09T03:24:00.000-07:00

Letting go is always been an issue for relationships. It is a way of giving up your commitment in different manner and reasons. Letting go doesn't mean you don't love them anymore. Sometimes it is the best way to make them feel they deserve someone better than you or situation calls.

Where did this came from?... Well, probably its one of my thoughts of "what ifs." Although its true that there is no perfect moment, time or place to let go and it can be prepared but maybe it can lessen the expectations.

There are different reason to let go, letting go of family members, friends, love ones, job, etc. But it keeps a little pain neither way. Everyone should know how to or else you'll end up suffering for the rest of your life.

No matter how you love someone, how you treasure them or how you care for them..we all should learn to give up because giving up might be the rebirth of someone coming your way to be more better person and to move on..

Peanuts Comic Strip: Snoopy Quotes

2010-02-17T09:14:00.000-08:00

I didn't know that snoopy has died already?? this is what i found while searching his quotes.. "Snoopy - Character from Peanuts comic strip created by American cartoonist Charles Schulz. Born 1922. Died 2000."

Here are the quotes I love from snoopy..Funny but Striking..

My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm Happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right?Snoopy

Sometimes when I get up in the morning, I feel very peculiar. I feel like I've just got to bite a cat! I feel like if I don't bite a cat before sundown, I'll go crazy! But then I just take a deep breath and forget about it. That's what is known as real maturity.
Snoopy

To live is to dance, to dance is to live.
Snoopy

Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves and then we have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos.
Snoopy

Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.
Snoopy

I feel sorry for someone who has to win everything

Snoopy

“Are you upset little friend? Have you been lying awake worrying? Well, don't worry...I'm here. The flood waters will recede, the famine will end, the sun will shine tomorrow, and I will always be here to take care of you. -Charlie Brown to Snoopy”

i keep smelling the fragrance of promise

i guess the wind that swept by you is passing by my side right now

maybe it's a sunshine in my heart that shines on only you

it even embraces the painful scars

love you

bringing you up, i close my eyes tight once again

i love you. if i can fill up both your eyes

i love you. if i show you my laughter

i'd take everything under the starlight and give them to you

i love you. if i can convey this heart to you

i love you. if you teach that heart

i'll become like it in every way

love you, love you, love you, forever

i'm walking, following you, hiding behind the moonlight

what do i do if you don't notice

should i make another request to the clouds to rain again

so i can hold your wet heart

love you

bringing you up, i close my eyes tight once again

i love you. if i can fill up both your eyes

i love you. if i show you my laughter

i'd take everything under the starlight and give them to you

i love you. if i can convey this heart to you

i love you. if you teach that heart

i'll become like it in every way

love you, love you, love you, forever

2nd Climb, Semi-Major Mt. Natib

2010-01-18T00:14:00.000-08:00

"Deathtifying," "90 dgrees," "Limatiks,"..etc that was our jargons while climbing the Mt. Natib at Bataan.

Mt. Natib is an in-active volcano just the same as its neighbor, Mt. Mariveles. Three fourths of the trail going to the summit of Mt. Natib is wide and is passable by 4-wheel drive vehicles. It

was formerly used by miners and soldiers fighting the communist rebels that occupy the mountains before. The scenes along the trails are awesome, so as the summit which

is bare giving you a 360 degrees view of the entire Bataan (Mariveles, Morong, Olongapo, Subic) as well as the two other mountains. Pasukulan Falls in Mt. Natib is another worthy destination.

Mt. Natib is our 2nd climb so we expected to be times two of difficulty unlike the Pico de Loro. We started to meet up at the bus station at 6:00 am in the morning. Although we are kinda late because of drinking session and sleepless night before the travel, Tele's friends patiently waited for us. We are 8 hikers, including the 7 year old Lj (Tele's nephew) who will try to climb the Mt. Natib.

The road heading to bataan, well, I barely notice hehe I slept the whole trip. I just woke up when Jerah poke me, "dito na tau mahal" I forcely open my eyes and it shocked me..wow!! asan tau?? bakit puro bus?? hahaha I didn't know that we are going to transfer to another bus. So we ride the genesis bus. Of course sleeping time again but Tele reminded that it will only take 10 minutes to arrived at Orani. Hmm.. Instead, I just grab my cam and started to take pictures of the province of Bataan.

While taking pictures, I notice a lot of mountains ahead of us, Tele and kuya Edelmar are talking about Tarak, Mt. Samat, etc.. I can't relate anyway but it makes me nervous.

Si kuya jeep (I don't know his name) picked us in front of the church of bataan and bring us at the Orani's market. yes... shopping but it didn't came to me to shop for pasalubongs or stuffs

because

I was looking for balabal or sarong. Jerah and I check every stall but they said that it's out of stock. So sad because supposed to be I am planning to shop in baclaran just for that and for the belt bag but it's too late.

So we continue our trip to Mt. Natib. We ate Lunch first to ensure that we are all ful charge hehehe while c kuya manong with horse contract us to be our guide to Mt. Natib. He told us that the owner of the horse wants 500 pesos but if he will be our guide we just need to pay 300. So it's a close deal because kuya manong is really good in sales talk and offered us (ate jen and me) that the horse will carry our bagpacks. The group also agreed to fetch water at the mountain's water source because kuya manong told us also that there is a water source there.

We begin our trail, after 30 mins of hike kuya manong is already gone, leaving us behind. we found him at the jump off with Lj, kuya edelmar and ate Jen. Wew, I thought we are already in the jump off from the start.

We proceeded to hike while I'm taking pictures of the beautiful views. We arrived at the kubo (wherein suppose to be our water source) but kuya manong told us that the water source is dry. "Ouch" we're doomed.. That will be a big problem. The group started complaining to kuya because he ensure that there will be water in the kubo. Kuya explained to us that we can camp at the kubo and climb in the next morning or just ask water from the climbers to the summit. Hmmm.. We are beginning to suspect kuya manong.

Without a choice, we started to walk again with kuya manong leaving us again behind. While walking I heard a running water and checked my left side.. "mahal, ayun o tubig" Tele, kuya rod and kuya bon also notice the river too. Kuya rod taste the water and check if we can use it. He confirmed that it's potable however, our containers is in kuya manong's horse. We just refilled 2 bottles and our trail water. Discovering the water we hurriedly hike to fetch kuya manong but they are already far. We found them at the pinagbutasan. The group is really in a bad mood especially kuya manong don't want to accept our 300 pesos, rather he insist that we should pay 500 pesos. wtf. kuya manong with a horse becomes kuya manong manloloko na.. hahaha.. No choice, we pay 500 pesos but the guys need to return to the water source which is 30mins away from our current location. It would take an hour for them to return. Kuya manong also left us and said with comforting voice "kaya no yan jan. malinis na daan jan di na kayo maliligaw. Marami na din kasing naakyat jan"

*bluff*

It's 4:30pm that the guys return with our bottles filled with water. I am worried that it will be dark sooner. According to others, it would take a minimum of 3hrs assault to the summit.

I'm really thinking on what to do, I remember that the assault in pico de loro took me 5-10 minutes and I'm already nervous and gasping for air. While, 3hours of assault or more, what will happen to me plus it's getting darker and darker.

Jerah told me "kaya mo yan, c Lj nga kaya eh" So I pull my strength to Jerah and Lj inspired me to continue. Imagine, Lj, a 7 yr old boy is really excited to climb the Natib without hesitations and it his 2nd climb too. Ok ok.. I can do it..

The trail is getting darker so we turned on our headlamps and I started to wear my eyeglass. My body is shaking but I gave my attention to the trail that I was into. I refused to think that I can't do it especially its getting more difficult. Some of the rocks are steep while the soil is getting thinner. I concentrated and thinking that I can reached the summit soon. But I'm wrong, soon is never ending night trek to the summit. OMG, we are complaining, it's like the summit is hiding from us. we passes almost 5 90 degrees trek and there this one that I can't really forget. They called it as haring bato. Kuya manong na manloloko warned us that we need a rope to passed that cliff but Tele's contact said that they arrived to the summit without a rope. So I also thought that may be kuya manong is bluffing again hence, that haring bato is just easy to climb.

Ok, I was wrong. Because it's already dark and our way is just where the head lamp is focused, that haring bato stunned me. Lj succeeded to passed,

kuya Edelemar and Ate jen also passed but me..waahh

Imagine a rock climbing where one fall can cause a fall to others behind you while my position is that I have nothing to hold on to but rocks that I'm not sure if its strong enough. My left foot is in the middle of 90 degrees while Jerah is holding my right foot to support my balance. Kuya Edelmar can't reach me because it was seriously 90 degrees. I can't move and I'm thinking of another way in order to push my body upwards. It's like I'm stunned, helpless for the 10-15 seconds of my life. I heard kuya Edelmar shouted, "second option!" Kuya Rod tried to climb the leftside of the cliff, "meron palang daanan dito eh." I was a bit of relax but Kuya Rod needed to hurry because my legs are beginning to shake. He gripped on a branch of tree and give his hand to me. I asked him with worry "kuya sigurado ka?..," "Oo, kumap

it ka lang maige." He pulled me up and from there I know I needed to take five. I felt my eyes are teary because of that moment. I saw ate jen and followed her trail because spending more time of thinking will makes me more weak to climb.

I heard Tele and Jerah talking that, maybe that's the haring bato that kuya is talking about and after that it would be just a simple assault. It comforts me..

I can hear Kuya Edelmar and Ate Jen having a hard time to climb again. S***t I thought that will be the last one.. Another deathtifying 90 degrees. Thank God, besides from Lj, Jerah, kuya bon and me, all others are pro in climbing. Ate Jen was always reminding me of what not to hold or step or if there is limatik on the trees.

3 hours had passes and I'am losing hope of the summit but there's no other way to stop because of the assaults. My hands are wounded because of the thorns of the trees. My eyes are beginning to blur because of the darkness and my legs are really tired plus its getting colder and colder each step.

I heard Lj shouted.. Yehey!!Andito na kami!!my blood rushed, atlast..

I reached the summit of Mt. Natib, the group is yelling.. I can't scream, I don't know what to react after the haring bato incident. I hurriedly sit while it's freezing and thank the Lord. Achievement... Good Job and Till the Next Climbing Experience!!

Climbing at Pico de Loro

2010-01-06T10:36:00.000-08:00

It never come to me that I'll be able to climb a mountain because of my fear of heights. But because of encouragement and thinking of having fun, well, I did.

My idea that time is to kinda overcome my fear and to have a different fun experience. So I am expecting that climbing will be hard. Yeah, when we arrived at the entry of the trail I realized that its not that hard rather freaking hard. Yet, I have no choice, I had to do it.

With 11 guys plus me, we started to hike the trail. That's when I realized the effects of smoking hehehe. I was really gasping for air that time although some of the guys are still good. Hmmmm.. but smoking becomes my motivation to climb so its not that bad, i think..lols

When we arrived at camp site 2, I saw the clear view of the mountains while my friends set the tents. Pico de loro with the height of 664 m above sea level it is considered as the highest point in Cavite. From there, I saw the summit and my bf and friends encourage me to climb again. I was really scared while climbing the summit that it made me think not to continue the climb. But still, I managed to climb although it really takes me some time. At the summit, seeing the other peak and the view, I can't stand for long. I was paranoid that I might fall hahaha. But because of the help of my friends and bf, I also managed to return to our camp with my soiled shirt and short.

"So this is what it feels like" that's what I tell myself. The tiredness is really worth it. I never imagined myself being adventurous but after the climb, I'm kinda liking it. That is why I'll be joining again the next climb at Mt. Natib, Bataan. I'm really excited but nervous as well but I hope the experienced is times two knowing the height is times two of Pico de Loro hahahah.

Anything for you

2009-12-16T11:08:00.000-08:00

I'd still do anything for you, I'll gave you up.. if that's what I should do to make you happy. Don't you ever think that I dont Love you or for one minute I forgot to but sometimes things don't work out right and you just have to say goodbye..

- anything for you

This stanza of the songs makes me hum this whole day. The meaning struck me and make me sigh. Yup, sometimes situations like this do exist. Though it's hard for someone to say goodbye, sometimes situation calls.

Ang aking Natutunan..

2009-12-09T04:23:00.000-08:00

Ilang beses ko na din binalak na magsulat ng ganito. Ewan ko ba, pag dumadating na sa gitna ng buhay ko ang kwento ko nauubusan na ko ng sasabihin. Hindi ko alam kung dapat bang ilahad ko lahat nang katangahan na nagawa ko sa buhay ko. Pero dahil medyo tinopak nanaman ako ngayon, uumpisahan ko ulit.

Sa kasalukuyan, 4^th year college ako sa kursong hrm (hotel and restaurant management). Medyo nawalan na kasi ako na pagpipilian ng kurso na magagamit ko sa ibang bansa para yumaman kaya napag tanto ko na ito na lang ang kunin. Masaya din naman, puno ng kalokohan ang bawat major. Ano ba namang kurso ang makikitaan mo na tuturuan ka makihalubilo o sosyalan sa ibang tao. Matuto ka din uminom ng iba’t-ibang halo ng alak, pati na nga ihagis ang bote matutunan mo. O di ba, astig? Natutunan ko naman ilagan ang mga bote at maghagis sa malayong tao upang makaiwas makasakit sa tatamaan nito. Sa awa ng diyos pinasa naman ako ng professor ko hehehe. Kung sa iba kalokohan lang to, sino ba naman makakaisip na pagkakaperahan na din pala ito. Sabi nila, pang bobo daw ang kurso namin, medyo nasaktan ako nung narinig ko un. Di naman kasi biro yung iniwan kong kurso na political science sa lasal noon tapos sasabihing pang bobo ang kurso na kinukuha ko ngayon. Masarap siguro makipag head-to-head quiz bee sa mga taong may ganong pananaw, bakit? Alam ba nila kung sino nakaimbento ng ceasar salad o ang itatagal ng mga pagkain na kakainin nila bago mapanis o kaya naman ang volume ng alcohol ng alak na kaya tanggapin ng katawan nila bago sila malango. Syempre di nila alam un, kaming HRM lng. Hehehe.

Nakakatuwa maging HRM student bukod sa ibat-ibang lugar na napupuntahan mo at iba’t-ibang pagkain ang maluluto mo, masayang makihalubilo sa iba’t-ibang klase ng tao na kahit may topak at nanlilisik na ang mata sayo kelangan mo pakisamahan, ngitian at sabihing “good morning sir/mam.”

Plastik, oo medyo ganon na nga dapat. Ayoko pa naman ng plastic kaso kelangan sa propesyon ko. Di naman pwede na sigawan mo ang guest ng restaurant kapag di nila maintindihan ang ala carte sa buffet o kaya naman sabihin sa guest na siya na lang ang magluto pag super inip na sya sa order nya.

Trivia: Guest ang tawag sa customer sa HRM dahil tinuturing silang bisita na dapat pagsilbihan. Iwasan tawagin silang customer dahil kahit sa kalakaran ng prostitusyon ay customer ang tawag sa kliyente nila. Totoo to, promise.

Sa institusyon na pinapasukan ko, mainit na magkalaban ang kurso ng nursing at hrm. Ito kasi ang mga kurso na may pinaka madami na estudyante. Sa mga kompetisyon, ang dalawang kurso lagi ang nangu-guna. Pero di ko malaman kung bakit dapat mag kalaban sila e iisa lang naman ang paaralan namin. Buti ba kung ibang paaralan ang kinakalaban nila baka medyo may dating pa. Ayon sa narinig ng nanlalaki kong tenga sabi ng ibang professor ng nursing bukod sa mga walang utak daw ang hrm ay mga alila pa daw kami ng ibang tao. Hmmmm... hindi ba alila din sila. Lahat naman tayo alila di ba?

Di ba’t alila ang mga nurse ng mga taong may sakit lalo na ng mga taong di makadumi? (pasintabi sa nakain wag mo na lng isipin kung pano nila ginagawa iyon) di ba alila ang mga engineer ng mga taong may pera na walang ginawa kundi magkalat ng mga mansion at building nila. Di ba alila ang mga computer technician,programming, analyst ng mga taong adik sa computer at alila kaming mga hrm ng mga taong mayayaman na nag rerelax lang (hangin). In short, alila lahat tayo ng pera.

Mahalaga nga naman ang pera, sa katunayan kahit ako nangangailangan ng pera para maka graduate. Kung dati tinanong ako ng nanay ko,

Dati

Nanay: anak, sino pipiliin mo? Yung lalakeng mahirap pero mahal ka at mahal mo o yung lalakeng mayaman pero di mo mahal?

Ako: syempre yung mahal ako at mahal ko kahit mahirap kami basta mahal nya ko ok nay un.

Ngayon (medyo natauhan na)

Nanay: anak, sino pipiliin mo? Yung lalakeng mahirap pero mahal ka at mahal mo o yung lalakeng mayaman pero di mo mahal?

Ako: di na nakakain ang pagmamahal ngayon nay, pagiisipan ko muna masarap atang yumaman.

Sa panahon ngayon lalo na recession at lahat ay nahihirapan sa pagkita ng malaking halaga. Kung ano-ano na sumasagi sa isip ko para mag kapera. Sa awa ng Diyos at sa awa ng katinuan ng utak ko, di ko pa napaplano mag asawa ng MMMM. MMMM? Oo, un na nga, Matandang Mayaman na Madaling Mamatay. Hahahaha.

Madami pa kasi akong pangarap na gustong abutin at malay mo balang araw maraos ko din lahat ito para sa pamilya ko. Yun ang tama, sariling sikap hehehe kaya wag kayo masyado nagpapaniwala sa lawak ng utak ko baka mapahamak kayo hehehe.

Ber month ngayon, nararamdaman ko nanaman ang lamig ng hangin habang ung ibang tao iba ang nararamdaman sa ganitong hangin. Kaya lalo dumadami ang populasyon dito sa Pinas. Medyo tumataas na rin ang bilang ng mga kaibigan ko na nagkaka anak habang tumataas na din ang bilang ng mga inaanak ko. Wala naman ako maibigay, sabi ko nga sa kanila saka na pag nagkatrabaho na ko. Titigas ng ulo, kinukuha pa din ako mag ninang. Lagi tuloy ako napapa out of town pag pasko, brought to you by palusot.com.

Bakit ba kasi natataon na lagi ako walang pera pag dumadating ang pasko. Di man lang kasi naisip ng nanay ko na kunin ninong si sila Manny Villar eh o kaya ninang si Kris Aquino. Ang labas tuloy eh sila naghihintay na mapamaskuhan ko. Ok lang un basta magkaroon ng magandang trabaho at sweldo.

Pano pag di ako nagkatrabaho?meron akong apat na solusyon.

Madami na kong naiisip pag di nangyari un. Sabi nga ng kaibigan ko medyo advance daw ata utak ko. Pag di ako nagkatrabaho, una, syempre papatusin ko na ang MMMM. Pangalawa, papaampon ako kay Villar. Pangatlo, iiyak ako sa gma o abs-cbn at sasabihing, may relasyon kami ni Pacquiao. Pang-apat, mag papasagasa ako sa kotse ni Lucio Tan. Pero syempre imahinasyon ko lang lahat yun. Bata pa naman ako at naniniwala akong madaming darating na opurtunidad para yumaman ako. Talagang yumaman hindi kumita ng sapat, bakit? Pano kung sapat lang ang kita mo at biglang nagkaroon ng emergency o kaya naman sapat lang kita mo biglang nasunog ang bahay mo at nailit ang lupa mo dahil di pa pala bayad yung pinang gawa mo sa bahay mo, na wag naman mangyari sana. Ubos ang pang kabuhayan mo. Yan ako, advance mode hahaha. Kaka advance ko natatakot ako humantong sa institusyon sa Trese o kaya palitan sa kasaysayan si Notredamus sa prediksyon sa paligid. Hehehe. Mas ok pag handa ka na sa mga posibleng mangyayari.

Takot kasi ako masaktan kaya bawat desisyon ko pinagiisipan ko lagi ng mga posibleng mangyari. Kasabay na un ng malawak kong imahinasyon na mga solusyon kung sakali di umayon ang panahon sa tatahakin kong buhay. Isa yata sa dahilan kung bakit natatakot ako lagi masaktan dahil ako ang bunso sa magkakapatid. Nasanay ako na iniiwas sa mga bagay na makakasakit sakin. Ang simpleng sugat o galos nga na nakukuha ko sa paglalaro dati, sobra ko kung itago para di makita ng nanay at tatay ko. Automatic na kasi na mahaba-habang sermon yun pag nagkataon. Gasgas nga lng makita sa braso ko e parang interogasyon na ang tanong ng tatay ko pag nakikita habang nakain kami ng sabay-sabay kaya tuloy natakot ako makipaglaro ng pisikalan sa mga kaibigan ko. Enjoy na ko sa polly pocket ng kapit bahay ko, paper dolls at monopoly ng pinsan ko, lutulutuan sa likod ng bahay namin at pag nainep na ko, Chinese garter, ten-twenty,jumping rope o patintero. Sinisigurado ko lang na di ako madadapa o magagalusan. Kakaiba din ang trip ko nung bata ako. Di man alam ng nanay ko, kung ano-anong laro ang natutunan ko. Natutunan ko makipagpustahan ng text, (hindi cp, ung kadalasan na character na naka drawing sa mga cards na o kaya naman pelikula ng mga local na aksyon star) gagamba, salagubang, touching ng mga tau-tauhan, at iba pang larong pang lalaki na hindi pisikalan. Madami din naituro sakin ang mga larong ito katulad ng;

- ang pag gutom sa gagamba o pag baon nito sa lupa ay hindi nagreresulta sa pagkatapang nila. Kadalasan namamatay sila o kaya nawawala.

- Sayang ang pera pag bumili ng gagamba pang laban lalo na pag nilanggam siya.

- Ang paglagay ng chicklet sa salagubang at pagdikit sa isa pang salagubang ay nakaka aliw panoodin pero nakakainep din hintayin kung pano sila ulit tatayo.

- Mamatay pala ang salagubang pag nilagyan ng qtix and likuran nila.

- Ang paglagay ng sinulid sa salagubang tapos paliparin ito ay nakakaawa, madali lang naman gumawa ng saranggola.

- Hintayin lumingat ang kalaban para makapandaya sa touching.

- Mabisa na balutan ng madaming tape ang tau-tauhan para siguradong tatama ito sa tau-tauhan ng kalaban mo.

- Pektusan mo ang pamato mo sa text mo para ikaw lagi ang panalo.

- Nakakakilabot pala ilaban ang gagambang kuryente na gatarantula ang laki na kalimitan makikita sa mga kable ng kuryente. Lalo na pag natagpuan mo ito sa banyo habang naliligo ka.

Unitedly as ONE

This year will be leaving us another history of sorrows, tragedy, and pain. From the typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng, which causes deaths of hundreds of Filipinos until the Maguindanao Massacre, it has been a painful obstacles we experienced. For the community people, journalists, children and women who left us unexpectedly, the justice that we are all seeking will lies into our Lord's hand. I salute all the families, organizations, local people and stations who show courage and fairness to what happens.

For every tear, blood and scream of the victims of these tragedies, your life may be taken without knowing it was your last goodbyes to your family but for those who are responsible for it, you might think that you succeed on keeping the truths without knowing that we, as a Filipinos may not get the justice of what occured, but we, as a Filipinos will pray for every life you had destroyed. we, as a Filipinos will pray of every family that has been affected of these tragedies. Unitedly and as One.

Doesn't Mean Anything

2009-10-04T03:27:00.000-07:00

Love don't cost a thing, Jennifer Lopez while Doesn't Mean Anything from
Alicia Keys.

Here's the lyrics..one of my favorite song today..

Used to dream of being a millionaire, without a care
But if I’m seeing my dreams and you aren’t there
’cause it’s over
that just wont be fair
darling,
rather be a poor woman living on the street,
no food to eat,
cause i don't want nobody if i have to cry.
cause it's over
when you said goodbye!

all at once...
i had it all
but
it doesn’t mean anything
now that you’re gone
from above seems i had it all
but it doesn’t mean anything
since you’re gone

now i see myself through different eyes,
it's no surprise!
being alone will make you realize
when it's over!
all in love is fair I shoulda been there, I shoulda been there, I shoulda shoulda.

all at once...
i had it all
but
it doesn’t mean anything
now that you’re gone
from above seems i had it all
but it doesn’t mean anything
since you’re gone

I know I pushed you away
What can I do that would save our love
Take these material things
They don’t mean nothing
Its you that I want
All at once...
I had it all
But it doesn’t mean anything
Now that you’re gone
From above,
Seems I had it all
But it doesn’t mean anything
Since you’re gone

All at once...
I had it all
But it doesn’t mean anything
Now that you’re gone
From above,
Seems I had it all
But it doesn’t mean anything
Since you’re gone
