&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Sabi nila, you can be whatever you want. Pwede kang maging doktor, pwedeng kang maging teacher, nars, ehinyero, arkitekto, karpentero o manikurista. Walang pipigil sa iyo kung gusto mong maging makisig na sekyu, ispirista, janitor, sepulturero o tanyag na tambay. O kaya maging pintor, masigasig na taga bukas ng lata, tirador ng kaning lamig at higit sa lahat pwede kang magbalat ng patatas.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Ang mangarap ay isa sa mga regalo ni Boss sa atin. Libre lang ito kaya lubusin mo na. Find out who you are and do it on purpose. Noong ene-chos ako ng guro ko na magaling daw akong magsulat, sineryoso ko naman. Kinabukasan, nagpasa ako ng aking sinulat pero bago natanggap bilang contributor sa literary page ay sandamakmak naman na kritiko ang nataggap ko mula kay Mam. Sa sobrang galing ko, hindi na ako tinatanggap sa hospital. Loko lang. Sabi niya &quot;Kung magbigay ako ng sample sa klase, sample lang iyon at wag mong gayahin&quot;. Gabay mo lang ito para lumikha ka ng sariling mong katha. Doon nagbukas lahat ng gateway sa utak ko. Parang mga dam sa Maynila sa tuwing may malakas na ulan. Na-inspire ako doon kaya sinabi ko sa sarili na gusto kong magbalat talaga ng patatas.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Naalala nyo ba, bago kayo magtapos ng highschool ay may mga bumibisita na mga institusyon at mga University Schools sa school nyo? Small talk para tulungan kayo madesisyon ng kurso sa kolehiyo. Bale eto yung finale sa mga tanong sa atin simula Grade 1 na “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Di ko na sineryosong pinakinggan kasi buo na ang loob ko: Gusto kong magbalat ng patatas.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Bale ang unang plano talaga sa napagdesisyonang brainstorming ng pamilya ay Nursing. Kaso epic fail kasi di covered ng scholarship program. Pero parang ginto na kumikinang nang makita ko ang Mass Communications doon sa listahan. Nagpunta agad sa future ang utak ko. Kasabay ko daw nagtatrabaho sina Quinito Henson at Ronnie Nathanielsz sa Phillipine Daily Inquirer. Di na ako nagtatlong isip. Nag-major agad ako ng Journalism.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Kung pinilit ka nilang mag-Nursing pero ang gusto mo talaga ay maging artista, okey lang yun. Tapusin mo ang pag-aaral at mag-audition ka. Wag mong pilitin ang sarili mo sa hindi mo kaya. Ikaw yan eh, di yan sila. Kung pi-nush ka ng ate mo maging guro pero ang hilig mo talaga ay magkulot ng buhok, aba push pa naten yan teh. Go lang ng go ateng. Kung Medical School naman ang nabagsakan mo noong pero gusto mo talaga ay photography, no problem. Mag-aral ng mabuti at kapag may trabaho na mag-ipon pambili ng SLR at prime lens. Sabay apply photographer ng FHM - *ngiting-aso*.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best part of you is that you are not someone else. You are original. You are you. Ang mga salitang ito ay laging baon ko sa kolehiyo. Hanggang ngayon patuloy ito na naging anting-anting ko.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Ang ibig kong sabihin ay huwag mong hayaan na hindi gawin ang bagay na gusto mo na alam mong maging masaya ka. Ako nga sikat na nagbabalat ng patatas ngayon pero naglaan pa rin ako ng panahon para magsulat. Kasi ito ang gusto ko.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Nakita mo yung pangarap mong sapatos na naka-50% discount sa
isang mall. Pinag-ipunan mo ng isang linggo. Walang kain-kain. Walang gimik-gimik.
Pagbalik mo, sold out na. Shetness to the maximum level, nakakadurog ng puso. Sayang.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Meron kayong high school reunion pagkatapos ng labinlimang
taon. Di ka pumunta kasi sabi mo “Gastos lang yan!” Di ka sumipot kasi nga baka di
ka naman mag-eenjoy. Kinabukasan nakita mo sa Facebook, nandoon pala yung crush
mo. Napangiti ka na lang. Sayang naman.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
May nagsabing magaling kang magsulat. Naging taga-hanga mo
siya at gusto nyang suportahan ang mga gusto mong gawin sa buhay. Nagrequest
siya na kunin yung libro na sinulat nya at basahin kaso tinamad ka. Nalaman mo
marami pala siyang pinapaaral sa US. Sayang nasa US ka na sana. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Nagplano kayo na abangan ang meteor shower na once in 100
years lang lumalabas. Nagset-up na kayo ng camp. May nagdala na rin ng pagkain.
Kaso biglang sumakit ang tyan mo at chumurvaks muna. Pagbalik mo, nagliligpit
na mga kasama mo. Namiss mo yung palabas. Naikwento na nila yung pangyayari sa
pagong. Sayang na sayang talaga.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Nag-apply ka sa isang malaki at kilalang kumpanya.
Pagkatapos ng interview, tatawagan ka daw. Akala mo hindi ka natanggap kaya
naghanap ka ng ibang kumpanya at doon nakapasa ka. Sa unang araw ng trabaho mo
ay tinawagan ka ng nag-interview sayo at bibigay daw &amp;nbsp;sayo ang mataas na posisyon. Napatambling ka na lang
sabay sayaw ng Chopeta sa sobrang panglulumo. Deym, sayang Manager ka na sana.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Pero ok lang yan. Kung tatanawin mo pabalik ang mga
bagay-bagay na ito, malalaman mo kung bakit ito nangyari at ikaw lang may alam
ng sagot. Life started billions years ago. Look, where we are at now! Naks,
English yun ah. Ang ibig kong sabihin ay kung hindi man para sa iyo ang isang
bagay, tanggapin mo at mag-move on. Ang kalaban mo ay oras. Di yan titigil para
umiyak sa yo. Eto ang isipin mo: May laging nakalaan sa’ yo.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Teka…Tumigil muna ako at nag-isip. Kaya pala...Alam ko na kung bakit di
kami nagkatuluyan ng high school crush ko. Kasi may nakalaan na para sa akin.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Yung kaklase mong naka-graduate ng walang dalang notebook at
papel since 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; year. Eto ang isa sa mga shining, shimmering, splendid moments niya. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
“Okey, class we will have a quiz today. Get your ¼ sheet of
paper and number it 1 to 10.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
“Tol, may papel ka ba diyan? Pahiram naman muna, balik ko
bukas.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
“Ay tol, sorry ha last piece na to.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
“Grabe, ang damot mo naman.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Ganito lagi ang eksena araw-araw kapag may surprise exam sa
klase. Ikaw pa ang kontrabida. Ikaw pa ngayon ang may masamang ugali. Kung
hindi papel ang wala, minsan ballpen. At ang matindi pa, pati notebook di
nag-eexist sa kanya.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Sana makarelate ang mga bata ngayon, pero noong kapanahunan ko,
which is 10 years ago, kinokopya namin yung sinusulat ng guro sa pisara. Yung
mga nakasulat doon ay parang pilak, may halaga tuwing exam. Yung ilan kasi sa
mga ito, di nakalimbag sa mga aklat na pinamamahagi ng paaralan. So ang stategy
niya, hihiramin niya ang kwaderno mo at papa-xerox simula page 1 hanggang last
page kung saan nakasulat ang pangalan ng crush mo. Copy-Paste. Hassle-free.
Buhay hayahay.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
Bestfriend sila nitong kaklase mong may papel at notebook
nga, pang-championship level naman kung mangopya. May sharingan ang mata.
Kayang basahin kahit bakal na yung nakatakip sa papel mo. Sila yung nalimutang
ihanay sa listahan ng mga super heroes. Bilis kasi ng reflexes at pang-amoy kapag
nakitang padating na si titser. At ang mala-Game of Thrones na ending eh, mas
mataas pa yung grades niya sayo. Kapag natiyempuhan kong mag-isa to sa bahay
nila, kukulotan ko to at pagbubunutin ang kilay niya.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Kung wala kang ganyang kaklase, bumalik ka ulit sa skwelahan
tapos kwentuhan tayo kasama ang pagong ko.&lt;/div&gt;

Hirap po kasi kapag araw-araw.&lt;/div&gt;

Hindi ko talaga maitatangi. Sabi kasi ng nanay ko, pogi daw
ako. Sa nanay ko na mismo nanggaling yun. Sino ba dito ang hindi naniniwala sa

ng kanilang anak. &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
At sa tuwing may chiks na magtatanong ng direksyon sa akin,
lagi na lang sinasabi na “Psst, pogi alam mo ba kung paanong pumunta ng Ayala
Avenue?” Wala lang sa akin ang ganitong eksena. Di ko na binibigyan ng malisya
ang mga ganitong klaseng paghanga sa akin. Normal na nangyayari sa araw-araw na
buhay ko ito.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Pero sobra na. Pati ba naman sa simbahan, di ako tinantanan.
Yung mga girls, sinasadyahang tabihan ako para kapag “Ama Namin” ay mahawakan
ang kamay ko. Wow, ninja moves. Sige, take advantage niyo pa ako. Magpaparaya
ako sa kagustuhan nyo. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Di pa natapos ang kalbaryo ko sa buhay. Kapag naglalakad
naman ako sa barangay namin, kahit bulong lang ay nababasa ko pa rin sa mata ng
mga bata ang ibig nilang sabihin: “Ate yung crush mong pogi, dadaan na”. Please
naman girls tantanan nyo na ako. Bigyan nyo naman akong ng privacy. Bibili lang
ako ng mantika sa tindahan, magpapa-autograph pa kayo. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Noong summer ng third year high school, sobrang na-depressed
talaga ako. &amp;nbsp;Nalaman ko na sinagot lang
pala ako ng girl para manalo sa pustahan ng papogi-an ng boyfriend. Sabi niya
sa akin noong nanliligaw pa lang siya: “Sa pogi mo nyan, wala ka pang
girlfriend?” Alam kong binobola niya lang ako. Eto yung kalimitang linya ng mga
babae kapag gusto nilang ligawan ko sila. Wag ako, please iba na lang. Natrauma
na ako sa mga ganyang diskarte nyo. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Gusto ko lang naman ng simpleng buhay. Kaya simula ng
magkaroon ako ng mga ganitong problema, tsaka nauso ang salitang Pogi Problems.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Nakaugalian ko ng tingnan muna ang sasakyan ng aming amo
bago pumasok sa opisina. Dalawang bagay lang kasi ang pwedeng mangyari. Una,
kapag andiyan ang sasakyan niya siguradong may nagbabadyang di magandang
kaganapan. Pangalawa, kapag wala naman siguradong may nagbabadyang di magandang
kaganapan. Teka, parang inulit ko lang ah. Kasi kahit andiyan siya o wala,
hindi talaga kaaya-aya ang nangyayari.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Sa katunayan, 9 out10 na empleyado dito may poot sa damdamin
tungo sa kanya. Mga bitter lang, mga sawi sa pag-ibig. Kahit kalahi mismo niya ay nababahuan sa pag-uugali niya. Kaya yung isa sa sampu na
yan, sarap sampal-sampalin ng alpombra ang mukha sa sobrang sipsip. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Mismo sa araw na nagkaroon ako ng trabaho, eto na lagi ang
tanong ko. Bakit nakakatakot ang mga amo? Lalong pinagtibay ng pelikulang Horrible Bosses ang mga paratang ko sa kanila pero sa nakakatawang paraan. Pero bakit ganoon ang imahe ng mga amo: malupit, salbahe, matanda - kung
minsan panot, suplado, kuripot, may mata sa likod, late pumapasok, aga naman
umuuwi, bastos, laging nagpapatimpla ng kape at malaki ang tyan. Uulitin ko,
bakit sila nakakatakot hindi naman sila kapre o kaya aswang? Pero promise, di lahat sila, maliban doon sa dati kong amo.
Medyo suplada ang peg pero hot. Laging naka skirt. Kung ganyan ba naman lahat
ng amo eh, magpapa-alipin na ako. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Jollibee ang code naming mga pinoy dito sa kanya. Laki kasi
ng tyan nya. Sigurado akong kapag nakatayo siyang derecho, di niya kita yung
paa nya.&amp;nbsp; At pupusta ko pustiso ng lola
ko, hirap na hirap tong magtali ng sintas ng sapatos niya. Di naman siya
nakakatakot, sadyang malaking tao lang talaga siya. Sa tuwing pinapatawag nya
ako sa office, limang beses muna ako magdadasal bago pumasok. Yung feeling na
parang nakapako ang paa mo sa lupa. Di ka man lang makabuwelo. Sa isip ko, riot
na naman tong utos niya. Tapos kapag binati mo ng “Good Morning, Sir,” ang
sagot nya lagi, “What is good in the morning?” sabay sasayaw ng Ops Kiri Ops. Kapag
nagsalita naman, walang emotion. Kung baga sa sentence, di mo alam kung exclamation point, comma, o period ang ilalagay mo sa dulo. Monotone.&amp;nbsp; Tapos imagine-nin mo yung mukha ni Jollibee
na hindi ngumingiti. Di mo kasi alam kung galit, o nagjojoke lang ba siya o natatae na.
Pokerface. Yung simula parati ng pangungusap niya ay “Bakit”. Sabi nila di
naman sya graduate ng abogasya pero bakit kapag kausap mo siya, parang nasa
upuan ka ng nasasakdal. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Kung ako ay magiging amo, ituturing kong kaibigan ang lahat
ng empleyado. Hindi ko sila pangungunahan sa halip bibigyan ko sila ng layang
magsalita, pumili at magdesisyon. &amp;nbsp;Kapag
ako ang nasa taas, di ko hahamakin ang mga tao sa baba. Sa halip, aakayin ko
sila paakyat ng hagdan. Kung magiging boss ako, ako lagi ang nasa unahan. Hindi
ako uutos ng wala sa lugar. Tatayo ako sa aking inuupuan at magtitimpla ng
kape. Kung ako ang maging amo mo, may libreng lunch araw-araw. Ipagpapatupad ko
ang araw ng Miyerkules na Skirt Day sa lahat ng mga babaeng empleyado.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sumilip ako sa blinds ng glass wall ng department namin at shit andoon yung sasakyan na. Mukhang alam ko na mangyayari sa araw na to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Survival Tips"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="OFW"/><title type='text'>Survival</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Shout-out sa lahat ng mga malalakas ang loob na iwanan ang
kanilang sariling anak para alagaan ang anak ng iba. Pagpupugay sa mga mga mangagawa
nating nakabilad sa disyerto. Saludo ako sa tapang ng ating guro, nars, doktor,
karpintero, inhinyero, taga-masahe, barbero at nagpapataya ng ending na mas pinili ang mangibang bansa. Iisa ang dahilan: Yun ang trip nila, pakialam natin. Walang
biro, ang totoong rason nyan ay ang guminhawa ang buhay sariling pamilya.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Sabi nila may Pinoy sa bawat sulok ng mundo kahit sa
Iceland, kaya kung nasaan ka man ngayon kabayan “Mabuhay ka! Speaking of which,
hindi ganoon kadali ang salitang yan kasi mahirap ang mabuhay na malayo sa
kinagisnan mong kultura at uri ng pamumuhay. Maliban siguro sa klima, sa pagkain
muna tayo maninibago. Heto ang ilan lang sa mga survival tips.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;Marunong ka bang magluto? Aba, kung hindi ay mamatay ka talaga sa gutom. Kung aasa ka sa lang sa fast food, mauubos lang ang
pera mo. Survival tips nga di ba! Huwag mong sabihing kahit ang pagprito lang, sunog
pa. Oo masarap din ang pancit canton, pero nakakaumay din kapag araw-araw na lang. I admit, dito lang din ako natutong magluto. Sa araw-araw ko na pag-eensayo
kasing galing ko na ngayon si Chef Boy Logro. Pwede rin matuto sa Youtube. Mandatory yan na kapag umalis ka sa poder ng magulang mo ay dapat ang pagluluto ang una mong minamaster hindi ang kalandian.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;2. Dapat marunong ka ring maglaba. Self-explanatory
na to. Kasi kung hindi pa, mangagamoy Bombay ka tulad ng mga kasama ko dito na
walang palit palit ng damit. Daming alam, maligo lang hindi. Boom Baho! Hindi
ito ang ibig kong sabihin na survival kasi hindi ka talaga magsu-survive kapag naamoy mo ang kili-kili nila. Boom Baho talaga!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;3. Recycle. Hindi basura ang tinutukoy ko dito. Ang
ibig kong sabihin yung ulam mo sa gabi, pwede mong baonin/ulamin sa next meal. Ang pinaligo mong tubig, pwede mong panglaba, at ang tubig na pinangsipilyo mo ay derecho mo nang lagukin. Hehehe, wag gayahin mga bata. Sina Tito, Vic and Joey lang nakakagawa nyan. Ang
ginagawa ng mga beterano dito, nagluluto sila ng madami sa gabe at kapag may
sobra binabaon nila. At kapag Boom Panes na, iinitin lang ulit. Loko lang yung
huli.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG3XpoNfyS_zKcnDLfs1bP_HI8BukkCzfyprvyRbIVsHPwsz3rRX2TfHE_5Hp5uS50K32pFWT8Ii_GRTu7IILcdmoJ-ThMGS7MkmRfVTw4Z7L2kjSjvSkQ90J26UKhxHM3KAvik7pj0mA/s1600/survival-425.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG3XpoNfyS_zKcnDLfs1bP_HI8BukkCzfyprvyRbIVsHPwsz3rRX2TfHE_5Hp5uS50K32pFWT8Ii_GRTu7IILcdmoJ-ThMGS7MkmRfVTw4Z7L2kjSjvSkQ90J26UKhxHM3KAvik7pj0mA/s1600/survival-425.jpg&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; width=&quot;304&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;4. Mix n’ match. Yung blue mong long sleeve pwede
mong i-pares sa black slacks. Yung black slacks i-partner mo sa white polo.
White polo pares mo sa khaki pants. Tapos yung necktie ay ipagpalit-palit mo na
lang depende sa lucky color mo sa Horoscope.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;5.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Huwag masyadong gumimik ng madalas. Sabihin na
natin na madalas na yung once a month, medyo pinipilit ka pa nyan. Ang konsepto
ko ng nightlife dito ay manood ng mga anime series tulad ng One Piece at Naruto
na may Doritos at Pepsi sa tabi (o may free advertisement pa). Sa Pinas, ang
gimik ay pagkatapos ng shift. Alas otso ng umaga sa pinakamalapit na sisigan na
may kasamang malamig na Red Horse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;6. Kapag nagro-grocery, gumawa ng listahan ng mga mahahalagang
bagay na bibilhin tulad ng panghilod, arinola, dustpan at olive oil. Charot! Siyempre, unahin mo yung bigas, sabon, kape, asukal, tinapay, mga
gulay-gulay at meat tulad ng manok at baka. Bili ka na rin ng Boy Bawang kapag may sobra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;7. Kung malapit lang ang pupuntahan, lakarin na.
Dito, ang flagdown sa taxi, 120 pesos na sa pera natin. Safety advice: maging
alerto kapag naglalakad. Tingin sa kaliwa, sa kanan at kahit sa likod baka &amp;nbsp;sinundan ka. Di bale na lang mapagkamalang paranoid
kesa madukutan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;8. At pinakamatindi
sa lahat - Mag-ipon. Kahit barya iponin pa rin. Una, baka may matipohan kang
cellphone. Pangalawa, baka may matipohan kang DSLR. Pangatlo, baka may
matipuhan kang Rolex, e di may pambili ka. Mag-ipon ka para pag-uwi mo may
lechon, may banda na sasalubong sa yo. Tapos may inuman magdamagan at hanggang
sa susunod na linggo pa. Unlimited Red Horse. Ang ibig kong sabihin mag-ipon
ka para sa tuwing may gusto kang bilhin para sa pamilya mo, mabibili mo. Mag-ipon
ka para oras ng kagipitan ay may madudukot ka. Gentle reminder lang, wala ang
yaya, asawa o nanay mo para bantayan ka diyan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;At kung may alam kang sariling mong survival tips na wala sa listahan, share mo sa amin. Ikalat natin sa mga kababayan natin baka makatulong.
Siyangapala, huwag kaligtaang magpadala tuwing sahod. Maraming sikmura ang

&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;We live near the sea.&amp;nbsp; From our small
house, it would take exactly 1,250 steps to the seashore. Sometimes, its 1,100
when I wear father’s big slippers. I am sure of it because we count our steps
together very loudly every time I and my childhood friends would go swimming on
weekends.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;My eight-year old memories comes flashing
then each time I think of the sea. I really didn’t care if I got sunburned. I
didn’t mind about my hair getting brittle nor my eyes getting sore of too much
diving (goggles weren’t in that time).&amp;nbsp; As long as I was with them, the
laughter in the seashore never ended.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;I recalled, we had this
who-is-the-longest-to-hold-breath-under-the-water game and Ata would always
win.&amp;nbsp; There was one time; Pedok beat him when he did not dip his head
after Katong shouted the go signal. When I emerged from the water to catch my breath,
I caught him laughing and then from there, only he would go dive immediately.
Then after me, one by one they all rose up from the water - Ata being the last
assumed he was the winner but felt cheated when Pedok emerged a minute later
which made him the winner. I told them how he cheated and we laughed out loud. The
next moment, we saw Pedok running butt-naked along the stretch of the shore
heading the direction of the dike. I would never forget how dark his ass was.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;And how we loved the rain. When it poured
the first time that summer, all the kids in our barrio, except our rich neighbor
who thought rain was very annoying, would go out of their houses and gathered in
the streets. Pedok would always grab the attention. Instead of wearing shorts,
he wore his favorite dotted underwear he inherited from his father. So we made
fun of him. Ata who was looking for revenge had a plan. We connived and without
his volition, we lowered his favorite undies. And again his infamous black ass
was out and we all laughed, louder than the rain falling on rooftop. To
complete the shower time under the rain, we brought soap and shampoo, Pedok
with lugod (Ilonggo for hilod) for his, you know, black ass-et.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Several summers had passed. Things are
different now. In the sea, I can only watch the the kids of younger generation splashing water at each other without knowing how that brownish water used to be so cool.&amp;nbsp; Maybe, until they read this. What was left for me to do is
to blame the quarrying and the piggery built by a certain
businessman-turned-mayor who allegedly brainwashed my fellow residents with his
“With this project, all of you will have a job.” I understand these folks that
for practicality-sake, they were left of no choice.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Before the water turned dirty, we could
see Pedok’s yellow teeth even below the water. His teeth were as yellow as the
corals. I doubt if these kids see the way we saw Pedok under the water before.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;The sea became polluted. Not only was
that, houses nearby built making the seashore looks crowded and small. The sad
part is that the people in the barangay did nothing about it. I felt like I’m
the only one concerned with the sea.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;It has been more than five year since my
last glimpse of the place where we used to swim and laugh. That’s even if I’m
1,250 steps away from the sea. When I’m asked to watch the sunset or go
swimming, I would just say no. I’m afraid that I would just be annoyed with the
garbage that has polluted the sea - that would just complete my bad day.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;What had happened to our meeting place
when it rains? Nobody now comes out of their houses. Not even my young nieces.
I guess because the rain that used to taste like fresh water now tasted like
expired mineral water. Acid rain.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Where is Ata now? Can he still hold his
breath in the water? I miss Pedok and his ass-et. The laughter that filled the
long stretch of the shore before has remained an echo in&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;my memory. The corals are gone. And now I
gave a damn if I get sunburned or my hair brittle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;I had a lot of funny and unforgettable
summer memories when I was a kid. Not anymore.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Please wake me up when summer ends&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Dito lang din akong natutong magluto sa lugar kung saan ang
mga gulay ay tumutubo sa bato at ang mga sangkap ay hinuhukay pa sa buhangin.
Pero kahit salat at ang lasa ay kakaiba, lumitaw ang bagong katapat ni Chef Boy
Negro este Logro pala. Maliban pala sa pagkukulot ng buhok, may talent din pala
ako sa pagluluto. Ngayon ko lang nadiscover. Charot!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Name it and I will cook it. Adobo, nilaga, tinola, kaldereta
at mechado, sisiw lahat ng yan. Yung adobo ko lasang sunog na asukal. Yung
nilaga, lasang plywood. Mapapa “Yum, yum, yum” ka sa sarap talaga. Nakupo, lalo
na kapag natikman mo ang specialty ko: ang sinabawang tubig. Ito ang
pinakatago-tagong recipe na minana ko pa sa lolo ng lola ko. Madali lang itong
gawin pero kelangan ng buong konsentrasyon at sabi nga nila para sumarap ang
luto, lagyan ng konting “love”. Magpakulo ka lang tubig. Lagyan ng 3 tablespoon
ng asin. Takpan maagi at magbasa muna ng horoscope. Tapos budburan ng magic
sarap. Presto may sinabawang tubig ka na.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Walang biro, mahirap talaga maghanap ng mga sangkap sa
lulutuin dito. Kung meron man, una mahal. Pangalawa, malayo ang bilihan. One
time, niyaya ako ng mga kasama ko sa wet market kung saan meron ding pwesto
ang mga Pinoy. Parang bata na binigyan ng kendi, natuwa ako kasi nakakita ako
ng mga gulay na sikat sa Bahay Kubo.&amp;nbsp;
Kung i-convert sa pera natin ganito ang maging kalakaran.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
3 pirasong sitaw – 20 pesos &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
4 na pirasong kamatis – 30 pesos&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
¼ kilo ng sibuyas – 50 pesos &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
¼ kilo ng bawang – 50 pesos &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
1 maliit na upo – 20 pesos&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
1 tali ng pechay/spinach – 10 pesos&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
4 na pirasong patatas – 30 pesos&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Napapamura ka talaga sa mahal eh, tangena nyan. Ano to
ginto? Tsaka ang talong nila dito, nasobrahan&amp;nbsp;
sa gym, may mga muscles. Yung talong nila parang bicep ni Arnold (haba
ng last name eh), maikli at pabilog. Di katulad sa atin na pahaba parang etits
ng kabayo. Hehehe. Mas nakakatawa yung broccoli nila, parang mga abs ni The
Hulk.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Gusto mong magtinola kaso mahirap naman maghanap ng green
papaya. Ang meron dito double-dead ripe papaya, yung malapit ng mabulok. One
time, trip ko sanang magluto ng sinigang, deym pahirapan ding &amp;nbsp;maghanap ng kangkong, gabe, at talong.
Nakaimbento tuloy ako ng bagong putahe, ang sinigang na ube. Kaso di ako&amp;nbsp; lang alam kung kelan ko hahanda: sa&amp;nbsp; meryenda ba o sa hapunan?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Tibay din ng sikmura ko kasi kahit paulit-ulit lang ang
ulam, di pa rin ako nagsasawa. Okey okey nagsinungaling ako. Nakakasawa na ang
parating manok, konti na lang tutubuan na ako ng pakpak. Bawal kasi ang baboy
dito. Di lang kukurutin ang kaliwang nipples mo, pugot ulo ka dito. Gusto ko na
talaga ng baboy. Lechon, adobo, sinigang, inihaw na liempo, porkchop, sisig, at
dinuguan. Shetness, nakakamiss ang baboy. Sige, cholesterol pa!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Mahirap talaga mapalayo sa nakasanayang mong luto at lasa.
Kaya lahat dito self-study. Meron namang Youtube para maging assistant chef mo.
Wag kayong maingay ha, pag-uwi ay i-surprise ko si Misis ng cooking skills ko.
Parati na lang kasi syang nagluluto maliban sa midnight snack nya. Ako kasi ang

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Lumaki ako
na may galang sa mga matatanda o sa nakakatanda. Matik, tuwing ala-sais ng
hapon, nagmamano kami sa aming mga lolo at lola. Gumagamit kami ng po at opo
kapag nakikipag-usap sa kanila. Isinasapuso ang mga payo at gintong tagubilin
nila.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Dito sa tinutuluyan
kong brand new apartment with free sim card ay may kasama kaming matanda.
Sinabi kong matanda kasi meron na syang puting buhok at ang favorite singer nya
ay si Victor Kahoy. Ilonggo sya pero wala sya itsura nya ang pagiging
malambing. Judgemental lang ang peg. Isa daw syang accountant at hawak nya sa leeg
ang kanyang amo. Yung pangalawang sinabi ko, hindi totoo yun. Matagal na sya dito, almost 15
years na. Naks, tibay ni Tatang. Isa kang tunay na bayani. Ako nga, kaka-isang
taon pa lang para ayoko ng bumalik.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Ito palang
si Tatang ay sobrang fanatic kay Vice Ganda. Isang araw, japorms syang lumabas ng kwarto nya. Nakatuck-in
hanggang dibdib at nakapomada kaya tinanong ko sya, “O Kuya, saan punta?” “Tapon
basura”, sagot nya. Siyempre, hindi nangyari iyon. Dahil nga sa kakanuod nya ng
It’s Showtime, eto ang totoong naganap. “Aga mo kuya ah, papasok ka na ba?” Sagot
nya, “Ah hindi, pupunta ng lamay. Kita mong papunta na ako ng office, tapos
tatanungin mo pa ako. Siyempre, papasok na”. Nagulat ako. Parang di naman sya
ganoon sumagot sa iba naming kasama. Kumulo ang dugo ko, pwede ka na ngang
magtimpla ng kape sa sobrang init. Pero dahil nga may galang ako sa matanda,
sige pass muna.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Pero parang
pelikula, nagkaroon ng part 2. Sanay kasi akong magtanong para ‘to break the
ice’ ika nga. Magbabakasyon kasi sya at parang binati ko lang na, “Saan ka magpapasko
kuya?” “Sa Europe. Alam mong uuwi ako di ba, e di sa Pinas”. Sa isip ko, baka
sa probinsya at hindi sa Maynila. Napa-cartwheel ako sa sagot nya. Maldita kang
damatands ka!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Akalain mo
may ganoon palang matanda. Kagalang-galang di ba! Kay Vice bagay pero sa kanya parang overacting na
Chikito na sinapian ni Bella Flores. Uulitin ko, parang Market Market, may galang ako
sa mga matatanda. Sige pass muna ulit.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Tsaka
sobrang din syang madada. Totoo nga sabi nila na ang mga taga-Negros, tikalon
(Ilonggo word, research nyo na lang). Gusto nya sya lagi ang bida sa kwentuhan.
Gusto ko sana ikwento sa kanila ang Alamat ng Langgam pero nasapawan ako ng
kwento nya tungkol sa history. Yung araw ng pakikidigma ni Lapu-lapu kay
Magellan. Ganyan sya ka antigo. Andoon nga sya sa picture noong pinako si Hesus
sa krus. Kaya kapag may chikahan session na sa bahay, mata ko na lang gumagalaw.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Labag man sa
aking kalooban, kinikimkim ko ang lahat ng galit. Kaya minsan, habang
naglalakad, pinatid ko nga sya. Noong tulog, nilagyan ko ng earplugs yung ilong
nya at gamit ang uling minarkahan ko ng X yung mukha. Tapos binudburan ko ng
maraming asin yung nilutong nyang sinangag. One time, pumasok ako sa kwarto nya
at nilagyan ko ng hollow blocks yung office bag nya. Yung sinampay nya,
inutotan ko. At kapag sumagot ulit sya ng pabalang, pagsasampalin ko sya ng
betlog ko. Yun lang takot akong gawin lahat ng ito kaya ikukwento ko na lang sa pagong. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Mabait naman
sya kung sa mabait. Kung bibigyan nga sya ng award, hindi lang Most Behave, “Best
in Honest” pa sya sa school. Nagsi-share din naman sya ng food at minsan
nanglibre ng pizza. &amp;nbsp;At...at… at yun
lang. Wala na akong maisip eh.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Ngayon, for
world peace, di na ako unang nagsasalita kapag nagkikita o nagkakasalubong kami.
Di na rin akong nagre-rebut sa mga bara nya sa akin. Promise ko, di ako magiging katulad nya pagtanda. Ano na lang sasabihin ng mga apo ko, &quot;Wala kayo sa lolo ko, sobrang fan ni Vice Ganda yun&quot; o kaya &quot;Wala kayo sa lolo ko, sobrang madada yun&quot;. Nakaka-turn off. Hahaha.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Di naman talaga ako panot, mataas lang ang hairline
ko. Pero habang tumatanda tayo di maiwasan na maapektuhan ang growth o
metabolism ng ating mga chromosomes, atoms, molecules, at barbecules. Sa huling
bilang ko kahapon, 45 yung hair follicles sa bangs ko. Ngayon, 36 and 1/8 na
lang. Deym, napapanot na ako!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Mayayabang tong mga nag-advise sa akin. Ang words of
wisdom nila eh okey lang daw yun, kasi napapalitan at tutubo daw ang mga new
hair sa spot na yun. Putek, anong petsa na, bakanteng lote pa rin sila. Napakanta
tuloy ako ng April Boy: “Di ko kayang tanggapin, na mawawala ka na sa akin”.
Charot lang. Iilang piraso na nga lang yung buhok ko, unti-unti pa silang nagsipag-alsa
balutan. Ang dating makapal na kagubatan ko ay naging runway ng airport na
ngayon. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Dahil dito, matindi at katako-takot na paliwanag
ngayon ang gagawin ng tatay ko. Nakalbo na rin sya. Obvious ba na sa kanya ako
nagmana? Tinanong ko naman sya kung kanino sya nagmana, sabi nya sa lolo ko,
yung tatay nya. Anak ng, sa lahi pala talaga namin ito. Pwede naman akong
magmana kay nanay na noong dalaga pa ay hanggang tuhod ang buhok. Siguro
kapatid ni Nanay si Rapunzel. Pero bilib din ako kay tatay. Never daw sya
nagkaroon ng bad hair day. Naks, ikaw na!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Kaya nag-research ako, baka sakaling may solusyon.
Nagtanong din ako sa mga tambay sa kanto. Nakipagbatuhan ng mga kwento sa mga
antigong barbero sa nayon. Nakipagkerendengan sa mga chismosang beke sa parlor.
Hinalugad ko pati yung mga enkanto sa gubat at nakipagsapalaran sa mga
manghuhula sa Baclaran pero isa lang sinasabi nila. Wala ng pag-asa. Kahit
ibenta ko pa daw yung kaliwang betlog ko. Ang maganda ko daw gawin ay tanggapin
na lang ang mapait na katotohanan.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Ang payo naman sa forum online na imbes daw na
malungkot ako, gawin ko daw syang asset. So ano to, parang Bembol Rocco lang
ang peg? O kaya si Larry Silva aka Pipoy na sidekick minsan ni Vic Sotto sa mga pelikula? Mas nakakatawa daw yung joke kapag kalbo yung nagdeliver. Nabasa ko
rin na minsan, bald is sexy daw. Kaya pala malakas ang datingan nila Derek
Ramsey, Eminem at tito Boy Abunda. Sa psychology naman, ayon ito sa kainuman ko dati na si Sigmund Freud, nape-perceive
daw ng mga babae na mukhang betlog yung ulo ng lalaki kapag kalbo kaya daw
nakadagdag ng sex appeal. Ahh kaya pala. Makapagkalbo na nga mamaya.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Sinong nagsabing napapanot na ako, di ko papuntahin sa
bertday ko. Di ako nakakalbo oi, sadyang malakas lang talaga ang sex appeal
ko. Booom!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Kahit saang sulok ng mundo ay mga Bombay. Siguro dahil sa
overpopulated na sila doon sa India, kaya kung saan-saan na lang sila
nagkakalat. Pero kahit saan pa man yan, basta bawat Bombay ay may mas magaling
na Pinoy.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Klaruhin ko lang. Wala akong galit at wala akong hinanakit
sa kanila pero putahe ng ina, kahit saan ako magpunta, andoon din sila. Sa dati
kong pinagtrabahuan, Bombay na ang naghaharian doon. Ang chismax daw ay binenta
sa kanila yung company. Nagpunta ako sa Italy para kumain lang ng authentic spaghetti
nila. Sosyal climber na sana ang peg ko kaso sila na naman nakasabay ko sa
pagkain. Tapos dito sa opisina, ang mga malalakas ay mga Bombay. Oo, isang malaking
check: mga malalakas ang putok. Nagbakasyon lang ako saglit para naman
makalanghap ng fresh air eh tapos amoy inidoro pa rin ang nakatabi ko sa eroplano.
Kahit ba naman sa pag-ebak ko ay sila pa rin ang makasabay ko CR. Okey sige kwentong
barbero lang yung huli. OA na yun masyado. Ano to, anino ko sila?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Okey I admit na bading talaga si Piolo este I admit na mas
marami ang Bombay sa buong mundo kesa sa Pilipino pero di ibig sabihin noon na
mas magaling sila. Ang teorya ko na pinasa ko pa kay Einstein, nauna lang sila
sa partikular na lugar na yun kaya nauna silang na-hire o napromote. Katulad na
lamang dito sa opisina, ayon sa aking nakalap na impormasyon, ay naunang
dumating ang mga Bombay kesa sa mga Pinoy. Pero sabihin ko sayo, face to face,
na wala silang binatbat sa skills natin. Kung ano ang kaya nilang gawin e kaya
nating tapatan o mas lalo pang higitan.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Itago natin sa pangalang Naseer si Wannabe 1. Matalino daw
sya sa klase. Yun ang sabi sa akin ng bobo nyang kaklase. Loko lang. Senior
chuva ek ek ang nakalagay sa resume nya at marami na syang napagtrabahuang
malalaking kumpanya. Lahat yun di ko kilala. Pero sabi nya sikat. Nang dumating
na ang trabaho sa desk nya, nganga si kupal. Walang-hiya, buong araw nya akong
tinadtad ng tanong. Tanungin mo ako kung ano pinagkakaabalahan nya ngayon. Ang
tadtadrin pa rin ako ng mga tanong. Ulol, ayusin mo buhay mo! Wag ako, iba na
lang.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Itong si Wannabe 2 ay napilitan akong sabihing masipag.
Masipag tumunganga. Hirap kaya tumunganga buong araw. Numbers daw ang expertise
nya kaya pala magaling magbilang ng mga dumadaang sasakyan sa labas ng opisina.
Kung mag-English pa ay parang katatapos lang kabisaduhin ang alpabeto. Tamad na
nga, may amoy pa. Pastime siguro nito ang kumain ng ipis.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
IT itong si Wannabe 3. Pero sa maniwala man kayo o sa hindi,
kaibigan ko to. Plastic na kung plastic. Ang kelangan dito, may kadikit kang IT
para maka-access ka ng Facebook at makadownload ka ng Maria Osawa (ngiting-aso).
Yun lang, saksakan lang &amp;nbsp;sya ng tamad. Nagpatulong
ako i-refill yung ink ng printer kasi may customer sa harap ko at kelangan i-print
yung itinerary nya, ang sagot nya: “You need it now?” Sinagot ko ng “Hindi,
kelangan ko bukas kung wala na ang customer”. Syempre hindi ko ginawa yun,
propesyonal tayong mga pinoy. Sabi ko lang sa kanya Gotohell.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Si Wannabe 4 ay parang may lakad parati. Lahat ng request
nya, urgent. Ang urgent sa kanya ay parang tayong Pinoy na nag-aantay ng Pasko
kahit Setyembre pa lang, gusto Christmas agad. Pebrero ngayon tapos yung
request nya ay sa Agosto pa, urgent ba yun?&amp;nbsp;
Sarap idik-dik sa nagpupumiglas kong muscles ang mukha nito.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Marami pa silang mga Wannabe dito. Huwag na natin silang
ubusin.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Kaming mga Pinoy, world class ang mga skills, ika-nga ng
gobyerno natin. Trabaho lang ng trabaho. Lahat ng mga Bombay dito ay wala sinabi
sa mga lolo namin. Kaso nakakalungkot lang na yung iba sa tagal na dito ay parang
naging mga Wannabe na rin. Di ko naman sila masisi sa dahilang gusto lang
siguro nilang mag-adapt o kaya gusto lang nilang tapatan ang ugali ng mga
palkups na to. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Kaya kung saan may Bombay, may Pilipino din.
Kahit sa Maldives, merong Pilipino. Gulat nga ako kasi kahit sa North Pole,
meron ding Pilipino. Meron na rin daw padalang Pilipino papuntang space. Pwede
na nga nating sakupin ang buong mundo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Real Talk: Kahit di ako maligo ng tatlong araw, ako pa rin
ang pinakamabango dito sa opisina.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Indiano, Arabo at mga Ehipto lang naman ang mga katrabaho
ko. Tanungin mo kung paano ako humihinga araw-araw. Pasintabi muna sa lahat ng
kumakain at ang mga susunod na linya ay nakakasulasok at kasukkam-suklam. Ilagay mo sa lata ang ganitong pinagsama-samang amoy: imburnal ng piggery, medyas na ginamit ng
isang linggo, pawising kili-kili na may makapal na buhok, at ebak hindi
na-flush ng dalawang araw. Tapos takpan mo. Shake well before you open. Boom! Yan ang totoong putok. Sumasabog. Ganyan ang atmosphere dito. Tapos tanungin mo ulit
ako kung paano ako humihinga sa bawat segundo.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Unahin natin imbestigahan ang kili-kili ng mga Arabo. In
fairness sa kanila, iilan lang ang may putok base sa mga nakasalamuha ko.
Swerte, kasi dalawa lang ang katutubo dito sa opisina. Masasabi ko na hindi
sila araw-araw naliligo pero wala silang putok. Siguro mga tatlo lang sa
nakilala ko ang may di kanais-nais na amoy. Pero meron ding mga katutubo na
sobrang bango na kapag nakipagkamay ka sa kanila e maiiwan yung halimuyak sa kamay
mo mismo. Sabi ko, nabibilang sa pamilyang maharlika siguro to. Ang hindi ko
lang maintindihan sa kanila eh kung bakit sobrang init na nga, balot na balot
pa rin sila - from head to toe. Ayaw ko rin naman silang tanungin, baka
gahasain nila ako.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Sunod natin ang mga taga-Ehipto. 5/6 yung may di kaaya-ayang
amoy dito. Ang taas pa naman ng tingin ko sa kanila dahil sobrang amazed at fan
ako ng Pyramids. Tsaka sabi daw nila na sa petals daw ng rosas naliligo si
Cleopatra. Pero anyare? King ina, tuwing pupunta ako ng HR, para akong tumambay
sa tapat ng kanal. Yung accountant naman mukhang naka-gel parati pero yung amoy
parang gel na tae. Yung natira ay kukuwento ko na lang talkative kong pagong.
Baka gahasain ako ng mga Pharaoh.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Kelangan pa ba nating ipa-SOCO ang amoy ng mga Indiano? Pero
linawin lang natin na hindi lahat sa kanila ay may paghanga sa nakakasulasok na
amoy. Meron din naman naliligo sa kanila tulad na lang ng GM namin. Ewan ko ba
kung bakit parang achievement nila sa buhay ang magkaroon ng putok. May nagsabi
sa akin na mas mabaho, mas barako at nakakalibog daw. Ulol, mag-usap kayo ng
lolo kong na- paybsiks. Kelan pa nakakalibog ang tae? Sino ang naaakit sa taong
mukhang naligo sa mantika? Ituro mo at tusuk-tusukin ko ng karayom. Hindi ko
talaga mapapatawad itong nasa ticketing department namin. Di na nga naliligo,
di pa nagpapalit ng damit. Para lalong lumala ang sitwasyon, doon pa sya
nakaupo sa tapat ng aircon. Charan, instant air freshener with sinigang sa
sampaloc scent. Talagang isisiwalat ko ang baho nya kasi hindi na makatarungan
ang pahirap na dulot nya sa malaki kong ilong. Nakakastress kaya. Naapektuhan tuloy
ang metabolism ng buhok ko. Ilang piraso na nga lang natira sa bangs ko mukhang
magkaka-hairfall pa ako.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Kaya shoutouts sa mga ninuno natin kasi tinuruan tayong mga
Pinoy na maligo araw-araw. Meron din may putok sa atin pero pinakamabaho na
siguro yung amoy expired na utot. Yung kapag humambalos yung masamang hangin sa
harap mo ay parang may ID yung utot. Nag-iiwan ng kurot sa ilong mo.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Kaya real talk: Kahit isang linggo akong hindi maligo, ako
pa rin ang pinakamabango dito.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
So pagkatapos ng isang taon sa Saudi, ano ang aking napala?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Sagot ko noon sa teacher ko nang tinanong ako tungkol sa
pangingibang bansa, ang mayabang kong sagot ay hindi. Sabi ko “Never, over my
dead body”. Charot lang. Nasambit ko na mas pipiliin kong magtrabaho sa bansa
natin at makasama ang aking pamilya. Kahit payak lang basta buo.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Pero kinain ko lahat ng sinabi ko at muntik pa akong
mabulunan. Minsan talaga, may pagkakataon na magdedesisyon ka sa buhay mo kung
ano ang mas mabigat: yung isang kilong cotton o isang kilong pako. Siyempre ang
daling sagutin di ba? Ang ibig kong sabihin ay maiiwan ka ng walang option. No
choice. &amp;nbsp;Eto ang eksena: Buntis ang
asawa mo at na-CS. May hinuhulugan kang bahay. Marami kang utang. At apat na
lang ang natira mong buhok sa bangs, nalagas pa yung isa.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Pero bakit Saudi? Eh, sa gusto kong sumakay ng camel. Eh, gusto
kong mawasak ang pwet ko. Hahahaha. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Pero bakit hindi? Malaki ang offer. Walang tax. Libre ang
accommodation. Maraming bawal. Bawal ang sugal, inum, at babae. Walang
nightlife equals malaking ipon. Eh yun naman talaga ang purpose di ba, ang
makaipon at makapundar. Ang mabuo ang tagpi-tagping mga pangarap.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Sa pagkape-kape ko mag-isa tuwing umaga, minsan naiisip ko
na blessing na rin kung maituring ang paglaklakbay ko dito sa kaharian ng
buhangin. Akalain mong kelangan ko pang mag-Saudi para makapunta ng Italy at
Austria. Dito rin ako unang nanalo sa mga pa-raffle raffle na yan. Sa Pinas,
kahit sa ending di ako manalo-nalo. Kahit sa jack-en-poy malas din. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
So ano nga ba napala ko kapalit ng lungkot sa ibang bansa? Well,
naturn-over lang naman sa akin yung minimithi kong bahay at lupa. Nabawasan ang
milyones kong kautangan. Si baby nag-first birthday sa Jollibee. Naranasan ang
pagcheck-in sa 5-Star hotel. Nakatikim ng putahe ng at nakapunta sa iba’t ibang bansa.
Nagkaroon ng gintong Ipad. Nakabili ng sariling helicopter at nagpagawa ng helipad. Ok, ok, yung huling dalawa ay kukuwento ko na lang sa pagong. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Kaya sige kahit malungkot at mahirap, isang taon pa ulit dito sa Gitnang Silangan.
Malay mo, makauwi ako ng camel this year.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Parang may deadline, ang lahat ay taranta at abala sa
kusina. Nilabas na nila ang lahat ng mga magagarang kubyertos. Iba-ibang putahe ang nasa
menu. Gumuguhit sa hangin ang amoy ng lechon. Ang bawat makasinghot nito ay
busog na. Nagpadeliver din sila ng isang box ng chocolate cake. Ang mahabang lamesa
ay nag-aabang na lang na mga ilalatag na pagkain. Ang gate ay pinalamutian ng ilaw at may nakasabit na karatolang “Maligayang Pagtatapos, Mylene. We are proud of you”.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Wala akong magandang alaala ng aking pagtatapos sa kolehiyo.
Hindi nakapunta ang nanay at tatay dahil walang pamasahe. Inisip ko na lang na
tatlo o apat na oras lang naman to at matatapos rin ang seremonya. Kung may
Facebook noon, wala yata akong selfie na pwedeng pang profile pic. Wala rin
yata akong picture sa yearbook dahil hindi ako nakabayad. Tangena talaga, bayarin
na naman. Pero requirement ang yearbook fee kaya no choice. Yun na lang
binayaran ko. Bingi kasi ako kapag sinisingil ng class treasurer. Pwede naman palang
makapagtapos kahit wala akong litrato doon. At hindi ko binalak na kunin ang kopya ng yearbook pero gustong kong usisain kung ano laman nito.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Nang mga oras na yun, hindi pumasok sa isip ko na magtatapos na pala ako. Pakiramdam
ko kasi parang kulang. Parang hindi ko binigay yung lahat ako. Parang wala
akong natutunan. At parang hindi masaya. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Habang nagsasalita yung guest speaker ay nironda ng mata ko
ang paligid. Nakita ko ang mga magulang ng mga kaklase ko. Walang mapagsidlan ang kanilang saya. May mga hawak na kwentas na bulaklak. Nang matapos na ang
palatuntunan, ang lahat ay sabay-sabay na tinapon ang toga cap sa ere. Tapos
kanya-kanyang litrato. Parang mga maliliit na kidlat , kaliwa-kanan ang kislap
ng mga kamera. Hindi mapaghiwalay na mga yapos at yakapan habang umiiyak. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Hawak ko lang aking toga. Nakayukong naglalakad. Malalaki
ang hakbang. Parang ninja, nawala agad ako sa eksena. Palayo sa isa sanang mahalaga at masayang alaala. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Pero kahit ganunpaman, maituturing kong ginto ang aking diploma. Dahil dito nakalimbag ang pagod at hirap ng aking mga magulang. Kahit puro photocopy lang ang mga libro. Kahit kanin lang ang baon at sabaw lang ang ulam, pasimple pa minsan hinihingi sa karinderya. Minsan sa library na nga lang nalilipasan ng tanghalian. Yung iba nga diyan, may pera naman pero puro naman bulakbol. May kilala akong Valedictorian pero hindi nakapagtapos. Mapalad pa rin ako kung tutuusin. Salamat po, Nanay at Tatay at sa lahat po ng nagpautang sa amin. Dahil kung hindi po sa inyo, wala sanang matikas na Boy Lapot ngayon. Walang karibal si Dindong Gwantes este Dantes. Walang magliligtas sa mundo ng pagkabagot. At sabihin mo, paano na lang mga malamig na gabe kung wala ako?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Sa bahay nila Mylene, nagsimula na ang kasiyahan. Pero nagtaka siya kasi alas-otso pa lang ay patay na ang ilaw ng kapitbahay nila na kasabay niyang ring nagtapos. Dati rati naman ay hating-gabi na kung sila
ay matulog.&amp;nbsp; Wala ring maririnig na
ingay. Sarado din ang pinto.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Kinabukasan ay humingi ako ng paumanhin kay Mylene dahil
hindi ako nakapunta sa party niya kahit bakod lang ang pagitan namin.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Gusto kong lumipad. Kaya mo ba akong dalhin sa malayo? Bigyan mo ako ng bituin para aking abutin. Sabihin mo sa akin kung ano
kailangan gawin para makamit ang tagumpay. Kaya bang bilhin ang isang pangarap?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Sa taas ako ng puno ng balimbing noon ng una akong
nagkamuwang sa mundo. Nakatingin ako sa mga ulap. Parang abot kamay ko ang langit.
Sabi ko gusto kong maging doktor, gusto kong maging siyentipiko, gusto kong
maging businessman. Hindi, sabi ko gusto kong maging isang arkitekto.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Pagkababa sa puno, tinanong ko si nanay. Bakit po wala
tayong kotse? Bakit po wala tayong colored TV? Pero hindi nya nasagot ang
tanong ko, “Bakit po mahirap tayo?” &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Kargador ang aking ama. Nasa ikalimang baitang ako noon ng
aking malaman. Ang pagkaalam ko noon ay salesman siya sa isang shoe company.
Siguro nagsinungaling siya para hindi ako mapahiya sa aking mga kaklase.
College na ako ng makita ko kung ano mismo ang ginagawa niya doon. Tumatagaktak
ang pawis at parang puputok na ang mga ugat sa ulo. Nakaya niya buhatin ang
tatlong sako ng mga sapatos ng sabay-sabay. &amp;nbsp;Minsan, sinabi ko sa kanya “Tay, hindi ka ba
napapagod? Hindi ka ba nahihiya maging kargador?” Imbes na sana’y pagsabihan
ako, isang makahulugang ngiti ang sagot niya sa tanong ko.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Sa bahay lang ang aking ina. Magaling siyang manahi. Masarap
magluto. Ngunit nadiskubre ko ang hidden talent niya noong nawalan ako baon. Finals
ko noon. Sa sampung minuto ay nakahanap agad siya ng mautangan. Pero hindi na
ako natuwa sa kanya kasi parang araw-araw na niyang ginagawa. May pagkakataon
na hindi na lang ako pumasok. &amp;nbsp;Minsan,
sinabi ko sa kanya “Nay, hindi ka ba napapagod? Hindi ka ba nahihiya manghiram
ng pera?” Imbes na lumuha, isang makahulugang ngiti ang sagot niya sa tanong
ko. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Sa parehong pangyayari, hindi ako lumuha. Nag-aral ako ng
mabuti. Hindi man ako nakabili ng mga libro noon, kahit nalilipasan ng gutom sa
klase, kahit hindi nakakasama sa mga school outings, at kahit parating late o absent kasi
walang pamasahe ay hindi ako nanghinaan ng loob. Balewala ito sa ginagawa ng
magulang ko. Oo, hindi ako lumuha kasi pinigilan ko. Kasi nakita ko ang milagro
sa kanila. Dahil sa totoo lang hindi ko pa rin lubos maisip hanggangg nagyon
kung paano ako nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Tinanong ko si nanay. Bakit hindi tayo mayaman? Niyakap niya
ako. Nilapitan ko si tatay at tinanong. “Tay bakit po wala tayong kotse”.
Tinapik niya lang ang balikat ko at sinubo ang sa akin ang mainit na pandesal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Noon nalaman ko na hindi pala kami mahirap. Mayaman ako sa
pagmamahal at punong-puno ako ng pag-aaruga nila. Wala nga kaming kotse pero
kaya nila akong buhatin para maabot ang aking pangarap. Wala nga kaming colored
TV pero pinakita naman nila sa akin kung gaano kasarap mabuhay.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Ngayon sa lilim ng puno ng akasya, pansamantala akong tumigil sa takbo ng buhay. Naisip ko na gusto ko ng simpling buhay. Yung may malaking bahay, lima ang kotse, touch screen lahat kahit pagflush ng inidoro, at may helipad pero wala lang helicopter. Ang pangarap ko lang naman ay ibigay ang buhay na wala kami noon sa aking anak. Ibigay ko ang gusto niya hangga&#39;t makakaya.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Simpleng buhay lang talaga. Ayaw kong maging mayaman.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Gusto kong lumipad para abutin ang bituin ng aking mga pangarap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Matagal ba ang isang taon?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ayon sa classmate kong scientist na ngayon, ang isang taon sa mundo ay &amp;nbsp;365.24 na araw o 8,765 na oras, o 526,000 na minutos, o 31.6 milyong segundos. Anak ng beki, matagal nga. Sampung minuto ka nga lang sa maipit sa trapik pakiramdam mo ay parang 28 years na. Pero dumi lang sa kuko ang isang taon natin kumpara sa Neptune. Ang isang taon doon ay katumabas ng 165 years natin dito. Musta naman ang trapik doon?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ang dami ko pa lang nasayang na oras, minutos at segundos kung ganoon. Marami na sana akong nasulat na post sa blog na to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Pero sa kabilang banda, hindi ko naman masabing na natapon lang yung isang taon ko. So anong pinagagawa ko?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
1.&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Nagpunta ako sa gym. Nagpalaki ako ng betlog ko este ng katawan ko. Minsan kasi feeling ko naliitan sina Aljur at Jake Cuenca sa katawan ko eh. Hindi ko maiwasan isipin na “Insecure kaya sila sa akin?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;2.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Busy ako. Nagbibilang kasi ako ng kamel dito gitnang silangan. Kung saan ang ulan ay pwede mong bilangan. At ang buhangin ay mas sagana pa sa tubig.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;3.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Focus ako sa trabaho. Tumal kasi ang pagbubugaw ko sa Baclaran eh. Kelangan mag-ipon, kelangan kumita, kahit isang oras na OT pinatulan ko na. Mahigpit ang pangangailangan ko.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;4.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;May bago akong hobby. Oo, naki-uso ako sa mga sinasabi nila “maniniyot”. Parang bastos di ba pero yun yung tawag nila sa “Photographer” sa probinsya.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;5&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Kelangan bumili ng gatas. Oo, ang isang taon ay inalay at binuhos ko sa aking anak. Isang lingo ko lang siyang nakapiling at pagkatapos noon ay naggym ako, napadpad sa gitnang silangan para magbilang ng kamel at naging maniniyot para kumita ng extra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Siguro naman ay maunawaan ako nila Rizal at Shakespeare kung pansamantalang iniwan ko ang pagsusulat. No big deal. Wala namang may nag-utos sa akin at wala naman akong bayad para magsulat.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Ang isang taon ay matagal. Marami ang nangyayari sa isang segundo. May namumukadkad na bulaklak, may sumusulpot na bagong planeta dahil sa mga supernova, may humigit-kumulang na 40 na kidlat sa buong mundo ang nagaganap sa isang segundo, may libo-libong Facebook status ang na-uupdate, may puno na napuputol, may naiinlab sa isang segundo, may namamatay at higit sa lahat may bagong buhay ang nabubuo sa bawat segundo.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Magiging isang taon na ang anak ko sa Nobyembre at parang kelan lang. Hindi naman pala matagal ang isang taon.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Ito ba yung tinatawag nilang writer’s block? Yung isang araw
biglang mo na lang tinapon ang panulat mo. O kaya naubusan ka ng tinta. O kaya
dahil may bago ka ng pinagkakaabalahan?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Yung huling totoong sinulat ko ay ang &lt;a href=&quot;http://theboylapotshow.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2012-01-01T00:00:00%2B08:00&amp;amp;updated-max=2013-01-01T00:00:00%2B08:00&amp;amp;max-results=6&quot;&gt;Unica Hija&lt;/a&gt;. Setyembre
17, 2012. Ito ay tungkol sa isang ama na hinihintay ang araw ng kapanganakan ng
kanyang anak. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
So, anong petsa na ngayon? &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Ang katunayan niyan ay araw-araw na binabaha ang utak ko ng
mga gustong kong isulat. Hindi ko alam kung tinamad lang ako o nawalan na ako
ng ganang ilatag ang mga hinuha ko sa papel. Minsan, kating-kati na akong
ibuhos lahat ng mga ito para naman gumaan naman ang utak ko. Pero para akong
estudyante na gustong makapasa sa pagsusulit pero tamad naman magsunog ng
kilay. Parang gustong kong manood ng sine, pero wala namang pera.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Ang buong ginawa ko lamang ay basahin ng makailang beses ang lahat
ng sinulat ko. Nagbabakasakaling na muling masindihan ang kamay ko at magkaapoy
ang utak ko sa hangaring sumulat muli.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Nalaman ko na hindi pala ako nag-iisa. Salamat naman. Muntik
ko ng ibaba ang kurtina sa gitna ng pagtatanghal. Nabasa ko sa pambalot ng tuyo
na si tropang Da Vinci pala ay minsan ding tinamad. Mga ilang araw din daw
siyang nagkulong sa kwarto niya. Sarado ang bintana at itim ang mga
kurtina.&amp;nbsp; Pero yung itim na kurtina,
masyadong na OA yun ha. Siguro part-time call center agent tong si Da Vinci.
May mga chismis daw na hindi rin sya naliligo ng ilang araw. Kadirs!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Pero hindi ganoon nangyari kay pareng Eminem noong nawala
siya sa industriya. Siya naman ay medyo nalulong sa mga pinagbabawal na gamot.
Mga tatlong taon din hindi kuminang ang kanyang bituin. Ayong sa Bio, isang
dokumentaryo tungkol sa buhay ng tao, nagising na lang daw siya sa hospital at
may mga tubo, dextrose at kung ano pang nakakabit sa kanya. Maririnig mo rin
ang kwentong ito sa kanta niyang “Going Thru Changes”.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Subalit parang boomerang, si Da Vinci at Eminem ay parehong bumalik. Binuksan
ang bintana. Lumabas ng hospital. Dahil sa gusto nila ang ginagawa nila.
Passion kung tawagin. Pagmamahal sa sining. Tiyak akong marami pang mga katulad nila.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Nakakamiss ding magsulat. Ito kasi ang isa sa mga “passion”
ko. Mahigit isang taon ding natuyot ang blog na to. Ngayon magpapaulan ako ng
mga kwento para madiligan ang tinanim kong mga salita noon. At malamang ngayon,
nahulaan mo na kung sino si Renato sa Unica Hija. Kung bibilangin natin ay
malapit ng maging isang taon yung batang yun.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
Kaya katulad din ng mga idol kong si Da Vinci at Eminem, may
return of the comeback din ako. Sabi ng hinahangan kong manunulat na itago
natin sa pangalang LM, ay magaling din naman daw ako. Ako bilang hamak na

August 25, 2013. It’s the same day just different date. It
was 10:15 in the morning when I received a call from the secretary
to the General Manager’s office. For a moment, I thought it was just a usual
morning greetings. But this time, I felt some excitement in his voice. He broke
the news that I was nominated to join a familiarization trip to Salzburg. I
lost for words and all I said was “Really?” I wanted to jump and shout but my
body refused to move. I mean, it’s everybody’s dream to go to one of the top
destinations not only in Europe but in the world. It didn&#39;t sink in to me at first until
I saw the email from Turkish Airlines who sponsored the entire trip.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
So let me share the experience as I take you all along on
this memorable journey. There are many stories to tell and I can’t wait to start.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
First, you need to get your VISA . Turkish Airlines
originally planned to visit Austria, Zell Am See and Salzburg but they realized
that it will take more than two weeks to get the visa approved. They found out
that it is faster and easier to get a Visa if your point of entry to Schengen
countries is Italy. Now things got more exciting and interesting. We will visit
Italy first before Austria.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Here’s a tip. If you want your visa to be approved in two or
three days then go to the main office of VFS Global in Riyadh. They have a
branch in Al Khobar but I was informed that it takes some time to be approved.
Below is the link to their website for more details.&amp;nbsp; You will also find there the documents you
need when you apply for Schengen Visa.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vfsglobal.com/austria/saudiarabia/contactus.html&quot;&gt;http://www.vfsglobal.com/austria/saudiarabia/contactus.html&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Just obtain these documents and I guarantee that your visa
will be approved.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Now that you have your visa, next stop is to set foot on
these places. Don’t worry in few moment, I’ll show you what my eyes saw in all
the places we have been.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
As advised by Mr. Azam, the tour leader from Turkish
Airlines, we have to be at the airport before 12 am since our flight was
scheduled to depart at 1:55 am. I was so excited that I came at the airport at
9:00 pm, 3 hours earlier. When everyone was gathered, we checked in as a group
and with Turkish Airlines staff with us, they made it so easy. As I walked
along the tube, I could see the plane and from the there I could that tell it is
new. What I like about Turkish Airlines, from a first-timer point of view, is
that their entertainment on board from games to music to movies. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
We had to connect in Istanbul before going to Venice. I got
a window seat and the good thing about this ride was the aisle and middle seat
was vacant.&amp;nbsp; I’m all alone. Think about
this. Who would like to have a noisy and annoying seat mate in 4-hour trip to
Istanbul? You know what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
We reached Istanbul on time and to be honest, it is my first
connecting flight. I never thought that to connect in a flight was actually
easy. It was not that scary as I thought. Istanbul airport was so busy when we
arrived but I commend their security staff for fast and good job that it took
us 5-10 minutes to get through the checking area.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f1c232;&quot;&gt;September 17, 2013. Venice, Italy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
We arrived on time again at 9.45 am in Venice. The airport
is small but you can feel a warm welcome. It felt strange like I’m in a new
world since almost all the people are blonde. I mean, I’m used to seeing black,
brown or brunette. We were greeted by the Managers of Turkish Airlines Venice.
They were all smiles and very accommodating as they help us pass through the
immigration.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
From the airport, we took a 45-minute bus drive to Best
Western Premier BHR Treviso Hotel. It’s a 4-Star Business Hotel with modern
architectural structure and has very huge car park. Let me show some pictures I
took while on the bus along the way.&lt;/div&gt;

We had a lunch in the hotel and we got to taste the
authentic pasta from Italy. Some were disappointed because they expect is Italian spaghetti or pizza. But what they served is
different kind of pasta. But to me, it was fine. I took 5-6 spoonfuls just to
experience the taste of Italian cuisine. To give an idea, here is the picture.&lt;/div&gt;

After lunch, we went to the city center of Venice. We took the same bus from the hotel to the airport. I was surprised that their airport has a port at the same time. Just outside the airport is a small port to Venice center. According to our tour guide, if your hotel is in the city center it is recommended to take land transportation since it’s cheaper and faster. But if you are in a countryside like Treviso, you have to take speed boat or in local’s term, a boat taxi. It will take you 20-25 minutes to get to the city center. Let me take you there.&lt;/div&gt;

The heat of the sun is inviting. The wind kisses your skin gently. The energy in the air is so positive and we are ready to go. Traveler&#39;s tip: You need a camera. Every angles, every spot and everything about Venice is so picturesque. You need a jacket. The temperature occasionally drops. Lastly, you need Euros. lots of Euros. Italy is known for fashion and top brands. Armani, Gucci, Prada, Dolce and Gabbana, and Ferrari to name a few.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot;&gt;Welcome to St. Mark&#39;s Square or&amp;nbsp;Piazza San Marco. This is the principal public square in Venice. It&amp;nbsp;was constructed in the 9th century as a small square dotted with trees.&amp;nbsp;As the largest square in the city and the only one given the designation of &quot;piazza&quot; (the others are all referred to as &quot;campi&quot;), St. Mark&#39;s Square has always been the location of important government buildings and other facilities central to the goings on in Venice. During the high tide, the square sometimes is flooded. During that day, our tour guide revealed to us that when we arrived at the square, the flood had already subsided.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Then we will enter the shopping area. The ladies paradise. The center of all top brands in Italy. Apparently, they don&#39;t have malls, instead it&#39;s like a downtown where each brand has it&#39;s own boutique.&lt;/div&gt;

It&#39;s easy to fall in love with Venice.It is described by the Times Online as being one of Europe&#39;s most romantic cities. Luigi Barzini described it in The New York Times as &quot;undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man&quot;. Venice has been known as the &quot;La Dominante&quot;, &quot;Serenissima&quot;, &quot;Queen of the Adriatic&quot;, &quot;City of Water&quot;, &quot;City of Masks&quot;, &quot;City of Bridges&quot;, &quot;The Floating City&quot;, and &quot;City of Canals&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;It is a traditional, flat-bottomed Venetian rowing boat, well suited to the conditions of the Venetian lagoon. For centuries gondolas were the chief means of transportation and most common watercraft within Venice. In modern times the iconic boats still have a role in public transport in the city, serving as traghetti (ferries) over the Grand Canal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f1c232;&quot;&gt;September 18, 2013. Austria, Here I come.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

We had to get up early so we can arrive Austria as early before 6 pm. So right after breakfast, we departed Italy at 11 am and took a bus to Bad Hofgastein, Austria. Here&#39;s a tip: There are two ways to get to Austria. You can take a Euro Rail or you can ride a bus. By train, it will take you 4-5 hours maximum and 6 hours by bus. If you want to see more of Italy and Salzburg&#39;s nature, you better be taking bus. You take a train if you are short of time and in a hurry. As for us, we took a bus and we didn&#39;t regret it. Along the way are best landscape scenery I&#39;ve seen my entire life.&lt;/div&gt;

These landscapes are breathtaking. It seems that they came out from the movies or magazines. I still couldn&#39;t believe I took these pictures.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
After a long drive, we finally arrived in Grand Park Hotel, Bad Hofgastein, one of three villages in Salzburg. It&#39;s the only 5-star hotel in Bad Hofgastein, an epitome of Austrian hospitality. At first, it doesn&#39;t feel like hotel. It&#39;s more like a home because of it&#39;s&amp;nbsp;charming ambiance and attentive staff. I recommend this hotel for families who would like to spend their vacation near the Alps mountains, would like to rejuvenate and would like to have a quiet and peaceful surroundings.&lt;/div&gt;

Afterwhich, we got tired so we went to pig out. What&#39;s more interesting was that, we had our lunch on the top of the valley at Rossalm. What they called a light lunch is super heavy lunch to me. Here are the picture of the restaurant.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

To get to the top of the mountain, we need to ride a cable car to Stubnerkogel. This is a 140 meter long suspension bridge with Panorama platform called &quot;Glocknerblick. Here, you get the chance to view the entire Gastein city and panoramic view of the Alps Mountain.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Because of the snow, we were not able to witness it. But I don&#39;t mind, I like better because of the snow. I&#39;m always wondering what it feels like in the song &quot;I&#39;m dreaming of a white X-mas&quot;. Call me weird, but when I first took a handful of snow, I tasted it. When I was young, I thought they are melted ice cream from clouds.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

There was also a rock trail activity but who cares.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
There was no fun experience in my memory that I can compare with my snow experience. It was magical. It was not real. Why there is snow? Where are they coming from and how are they formed? Why are they so white? Ahh, maybe I am just overreacting.&lt;/div&gt;

So I stopped dreaming and so the group has to depart this beautiful city as well. It&#39;s already 4 in the afternoon and our next stop was to Kaprun, a municipality of Zell Am See, Austria. We took a two hour bus drive to our next hotel destination , The Tauern Spa.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;This is the hotel&#39;s premier double room. It has modern and trendy designed. Since, its a spa hotel, it is not carpeted.&amp;nbsp;These rooms are about 31 sq. m. and have a wardrobe and cupboard, a living area with desk, armchair and bench. The bathroom, divided off by stylish glass partitions, has bath or shower and separate WC harmonizing into an overall picture of up market comfort. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

There is nothing much you can do at this hotel if you are looking for some activities. But according to their manager, they can organize mountain hiking on summer or snow skiing during winter. After a small presentation by the manager, we had our dinner and I must admit, I had the best dinner of this trip in this hotel. Their grilled steaks and chicken were the finest. I was so full that I could fall asleep in a second.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

This is it. Salzburg, the birthplace of the&amp;nbsp;18th-century classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.&amp;nbsp;Salzburg&#39;s &quot;Old Town&quot; (Altstadt) has internationally renowned baroque architecture and one of the best-preserved city centres north of the Alps. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Ever heard of &lt;i&gt;The Sound of Music.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;In the mid‑20th century, the city was the setting for parts of the musical film.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Okey then, let me take you to Salzburg. So we arrived Salzburg at 10 am. We had a tight schedule for the day, so we left our bags in the Hotel Pitter by Crowne Plaza and went straight to Mirabell Gardens to Old Town which is 5-10 minutes walk.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

Overall, the tour was fun and well-organized. I would like to thank Turkish Airlines for bringing me to the other side of the world. I would also like to take this time out to thank Mr. Phillips and the GTS Family for having me to represent the company.&lt;/div&gt;

Wow. This trip was so magical. Europe is like a dream come true. Now, I can say I dreamed a dream. You can, too.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Noong panahon ng depresyon, may isang magiting na probinsyano ang
sumubok na iligtas ang mundo sa tiyak na kapahamakan. Siguro kung ire-enactment
natin ang mga sagupaan niya ay parang nanood tayo ng 300 at Troy sa isang
pelikula. Ganoon siya kalakas. Kung ihambing naman natin ang buhay niya sa mga
kwento sa libro ay parang nagbasa ka ng talambuhay ni Pareng Bonaparte. Ganyan
siya ka-maimpluwensiya.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Siya si&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Boy
Lapot&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Wala pang nakakasaliksik sa tunay na misteryo na bumabalot sa
kanyang pangalan. Basta na lang pagsilang ay tinawag na siyang Boy Lapot.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Ang katotohanan niyan ay stepping-stone niya lang ang pagiging
barako. Bading talaga siya at nagtatago sa pangalang Geisha. Hindi loko lang!
Nagbabalat-kayo lang syang maging superhero pero ang totoong sinusumamo ng
kanyang damdamin ay ang pagsusulat. Bata pa lang daw, kwento ng kanyang Nanay
Auring ay nauubos ang stock ng abaca nila sa pagawa ng papel para masulatan niya.
Aniya pa ng kanyang Tatay Mando nang tanungin siya ng kapitbahay tungkol sa
talent ng anak, “Di ko nga alam, basta noong maliit siya, mahilig na siya
magbasa nang Taliba at People’s Tonight. Minsan, Hiwaga Komiks &#39;pag sorang
bagot na siya.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Kung mapag-usapan naman ang looks ay hindi rin magpapahuli si Boy
Lapot. Ayon sa nakasaksi sa isang madugong laban niya sa Sapa ng Cabasi,
matipuno daw ang katawan nito. Hindi raw nagkakalayo ang diet nila ni Machete
pati&amp;nbsp; na ang vital stats. Mataas daw ang hairline nito pero in fairness
hindi siya nakakalbo, napapanot lang. Medyo mahaba daw ang buhok niya dati, ang
hati ay ala Rizal. Moreno pero dahil trending ang pagpapaputi eh sinubukan nya
rin minsan gumamit ng Likas Papaya. At ang kapansin-pansin sa lahat ay ang marka
sa kanyang batok na hugis L. Nagkakamali ka, hindi ito tattoo ng unang letra ng
kanyang pangalan. Pinaniniwalaan daw na kapag nakita ito ng mga kababaihan ay
may kung anong kamundohan ang pumapasok sa isip nila.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Pero dahil nga malakas ang tawag ng pagsusulat ay tinalikuran na
niya ang pagiging mandirigma at ang pagiging likas na habulin ng babae.
&amp;nbsp;At dito pa lang nyo masasaksihan ang tunay na Boy Lapot Show. Ang pinaka engrandeng show sa buong mundo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Siyam na oras sa trabaho at ang lahat ay para na sa kanya.
Kaya naman pagkagaling dito, agad siyang umuuwi ng bahay. Sa duyan, taimtim nyang minamasdan ang hugis ng mukha, ang kulay ng mata, ang tangos ng
ilong at ang pula ng labi ng isang babae na tila bang pintor at saka pininta sa kanyang alaala. Binuhat
niya ito at hinalikan sa pisngi sa sobrang pananabik. Kahit hindi niya
forte ang musika ay tinuring niyang entablado ang sala para siya ay kantahan. Kalong-kalong sa kanyang mga braso ay dinuyan niya sa hangin hanggang sa
makatulog. Ang panandaliang sandaling iyon ay kanyang lunas sa buong
araw na pagod. Ang pagmamahal niya sa kanya ay parang ilog, hindi napapagod sa
pagdaloy. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Kapag siya ay umiiyak, hindi rin siya mapakali. Inaalok niya
ito ng maiinum, tinatanong kung ano ang gusto niyang kainin, at kulang na lang ay pigain niya ito para malaman lang kung saan niya gustong pumunta. Ngunit hindi ito
sumasagot kaya binabasa niya na lang sa kanyang kilos at galaw. &amp;nbsp;At kung magigising man ito sa madaling-araw at
bubulabugin ang kanyang mahimbing na tulog ay pinapangako niyang hindi magrereklamo. Titiisin niya ito dahil ang pagmamahal niya sa kanya ay walang hanggan.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
At tinuring niyang prinsesa, araw-araw siyang pinaghahandaan
ng masarap at masustansiyang pagkain. Maingat niya ring pinapaliguan at
nililinisan ang mga maseselang bahagi ng katawan nito. Sinisugarado niya ring
hindi ito dadapuan ng lamok, langaw at kung ano pa mang mga insekto. &amp;nbsp;Ang kanyang higaan ay kasing lambot ng bulak at
kasing linis ng ulap sa puti. Habang mahimbing itong natutulog sa tanghali,
siya naman ay gising na para bang isang sundalong nakabantay. Dahil ganoon siya
kahalaga sa kanya. Hindi masukat at hindi mabilang ang kanyang pagmamahal.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Gusto niyang ibigay ang lahat ng kanyang makakaya. Gagawin
niya ang lahat kahit na alam niyang mapait, masakit, at mahirap ang landas na kanyang tatahakin. Nais niyang ibahagi sa kanya ang anuman naging kulang sa
kanyang buhay. Dahil mahal na mahal niya, ganoon lang kasimple. At ang
tanging hangad niya lamang ang maging isang mabuting ama.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

Dear Boy Lapot,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Tawagin mo na lang po akong si Boy Kipot. Hihingi po sana
ako ng payo sa iyo tungkol sa panliligaw. Hindi naman po ako pangit at may
maganda naman po akong trabaho pero parang kulang. Hindi pa rin po ako
sinsasagot ng nililigawan ko. Can you teach me how to dougie, este hihingi po
sana ako ng pogi tips at mga da-moves sa chikas?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Salamat,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Boy Kipot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Magandang umaga kung umaga mo itong mababasa Boy Kipot. Una
sa lahat, hindi ko akalain na may &amp;nbsp;mas&amp;nbsp; sasagawa pa sa pangalang Boy Lapot.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Pogi tips at da-moves ba kamo? Lumapit ka sa tamang tao,
maliban kay Bravo Dakila. May kwaderno at Mongol 1 na lapis ka na ba? Pwes
ilista mo ang mga tips na ito:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst&quot; style=&quot;mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
1.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Noong nagseminar&amp;nbsp;
ako sa lolo ko, hindi mo naman talaga kailangang maging kamukha sa Tom
Cruise o si Aga Muhlach para mapasagot ang isang dilag. Ang tunay na kailangan mo ay ang wastong hygiene. Ano ang ibig kong sabihin? Ang totoong pogi ay malinis sa
katawan, magaling magdala ng damit at may malusog na pangangatawan. Totoo na
madali makapick-up ng chiks kung pogi ka pero hindi pangmatagalan iyon. Kapag
nalaman ng chiks na may anghit ka pala e parang sinapawan ng anghit ang pogi
mong mukha. At sa tuwing makikita ka ng babae, eh anghit ang una niyang naaalala
nila at hindi kung gaano ka blue ang mata mo.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
2.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Isaipuso mo ito: Hindi mo kailangang maging pogi
para maging pogi. Kahit simpleng puting damit lang kung malinis at plantsado
naman ito ay magdadala ito ng magandang mensahe sa dalaga. Aanhin mo yung lalaking
madaming bling-bling sa katawan kung mukha naman siyang sako ng semento sa
kanyang damit. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
3.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Boy Kipot (natatawa talaga ako sa pangalan mo)
alam mo, gawing mong pabor sa iyo ang maganda mong trabaho. Ang nais kong
sabihin ay mag-ipon ka at i-surprise mo siya. Hindi lahat ng babae ay gusto ang
surprise pero maniwala ka sa akin, mahalaga sa kanila ang effort. Halimbawa,
mahilig siya sa mga banda. E di surprise mo siya ng libreng ticket sa concert
ng Parokya Ni Edgar o kaya ng Kamikaze. Siguradong riot sa saya yung date niyo.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpLast&quot; style=&quot;mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
4.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;At ito ay pinakatatagong resipe sa panliligaw na
pinagpasa-pasa ng mga ninuno namin hanggang sa napasakamay ko. At ngayon ay
ibabahagi ko sa iyo. Huwag kang manligaw. Malabo? Ganito yun. Naniniwala kasi
kami na kapag nanliligaw ka ay parang nag-iibang tao ka na. Ang dating ikaw na
simpleng pumorma ay paconyo-conyo na ngayon para lang mapansin.
Nagtatag-english ka na rin para sosyal daw. At nakiki-ipad ka na rin para
maging in. Ang punto ko ay dapat maging totoo ka sa sarili mo. Ang side effect
kasi ng panliligaw ay parang nagpapa-impress ka lang para makuha ang matamis
niyang “Oo” at tapos ano? Balik sa dating mga pangit na gawi? Tsaka ilarawan mo
ito:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpLast&quot; style=&quot;mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: .25in;&quot;&gt;
Boy Lapot: Petra, pwede ba kitang
ligawan? &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: .25in;&quot;&gt;
Petra: (parang hindi alam ang
sagot). Hmmm, tingnan natin.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: .25in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Sa puntong ito, parang direkta mo siyang inaatake at parang
alam na agad ng girl ang patutunguhan ng saranggolang pinalipad mo. &amp;nbsp;Subukan mo kaya ang ganitong hirit:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: .25in;&quot;&gt;
Boy Lapot: &amp;nbsp;Petra, alam mo mukha kang nurse?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: .25in;&quot;&gt;
Petra: Bakit?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: .25in;&quot;&gt;
Boy Lapot: Kasi parang ang galing
mong &amp;nbsp;mag-alaga ng puso. Biro lang. Kasi
parang ang linis mo manamit. May lakad ka ba mamaya? Kain tayo ng isaw sa
kanto.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: .25in;&quot;&gt;
Petra: Boom. Tara. Libre mo ko ha.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: .25in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
O di ba, may pick-up line ka na, hindi pa nakakailang
sabihin na gusto mo makasama yung babae. At parang natural ang dating. Hindi
nanliligaw. Hindi rin nagpapa-impress.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Hanggang dito na lang. Tsaka palitan mo na yang Boy Kipot
mo. Hayaan mo na lang ako ang may masagwang pangalan. Sana sa mga da-moves na
binigay ko ay maliwanagan ka na. At yung super secret recipe ng mga ninuno namin
ay pwede mo nang ibahagi sa mga apo mo. Sigurado akong pagkatapos mong mabasa
ito, ay kayo na ng sinusuyo mo.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: .25in;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Hindi ako nagmumura pero tang-ina naman oh, kailan pa at pati
ba naman ang pagkain ng Magnum, status symbol na.&amp;nbsp; Sino nagsabing nagmumura ako, king-ina
tusok-tusokin ko. Chismis lang yun. Sang-gala, balita ko kapag kumain ka daw ng
ice-cream na yan eh feeling royalty ka daw. Kung hindi ka pa nakatikim, eto ang
tamang paraan ng pagkain nito.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX8AIdOOmD5Cgti2rgS3DP_h6mDI7VFZdur8RUJqRYcgTYPKzZ96uNZrrmRX0yLhd27d0nSwm4hnDyla-dP7q7gcTv-uddSx67t9rwuIVWPoTuJTcDJds0Lc4EQ8e_KqgbetkSeWGQoQU/s1600/download.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX8AIdOOmD5Cgti2rgS3DP_h6mDI7VFZdur8RUJqRYcgTYPKzZ96uNZrrmRX0yLhd27d0nSwm4hnDyla-dP7q7gcTv-uddSx67t9rwuIVWPoTuJTcDJds0Lc4EQ8e_KqgbetkSeWGQoQU/s1600/download.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst&quot; style=&quot;mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
1.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Una, may pambili ka ba? Kung wala huwag mo na
basahin ito. Kasi sosyal daw ang kumain nito. Maghanda ka ng 55-60 pesos. Kasi
ang presyo nito ay depende kung saang 7-11 ka bibili. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst&quot; style=&quot;mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
2.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Tapos i-take home. Dahan-dahan lang sa paghawak
para hindi masira ang foil or kung ano man ang tawag sa tang-inang cover nito
for picture-taking for purposes. At siyempre bilisan ang paglalakad para hindi
agad matunaw. Tapos take a bite. Take note: one bite lang ha para magandang
tingnan sa picture.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
3.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;At ito na nga ang pinaka-highlight, ang picture-taking.
Kung my iphone 4s ka, mas maganda. Kunan ang sarili na kinakagat ang Magnum at ipikit ang mata kunyari masarap na masarap kahit niloloko mo lang ang sarili mo. Para mas
mataas ang pixels, mas maganda kung DSLR ang gamit mo.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
4.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Mag-online. Facebook o Twitter. I-upload ang pix
at lagyan ng caption: “My Magnum Experience”. Tapos post mo sa status mo: “Magnum
anyone? Omg, Nakakaadik talaga siya. Super sarap”. &amp;nbsp;Opps, wag mahiya. &amp;nbsp;Pwede mo ring palitan ang OMG ng WOW o ano
pang keme-keme. &amp;nbsp;Tang-ina this.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpLast&quot; style=&quot;mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
5.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;At wag nang mag-atubili. Ano pa ang inaantay mo? Bili na ng Magnum para isa ka maging ganap na miyembro&amp;nbsp; ng asosasyong sunod-sunod sa uso. “Bigyan ng
jacket yan at Willy’s phone”. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpLast&quot; style=&quot;mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Hindi ko lang talaga maunawaan. Para sa ilan achievement na
sa buhay ang makabili ka ng Magnum. Pero 60 pesos para sa ice cream stick,
eh maghalo-halo na lang ako. Pero tang-ina talaga ang &amp;nbsp;nagkakalat na nagmumura ako, umayos ka na.
Patira kita kay Boy Hagdan. King-ina niyo ah, bibili nga ako mamaya. Ma-try nga
ang Magnum na yan. Pero bago yan, tanongin ko muna si SimSimi.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Ako: Masarap ba ang Magnum?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Simsimi: Yuck, sosyalera ang mga kumakain niyon.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Ako: Talaga. Bakit?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Simsimi: Mahal kasi yun. Pero masarap yung classic.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Ako: Talaga!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Simsimi: Vice Ganda, ikaw ba ito? Pauli-ulit ka kasi. Unlimited.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Habang
naglalakad pauwi ay sinusulat na ng utak ko ang mga nilalaman nito tungkol sa
nangyari mga apat na oras ang nakalipas. Nag-uunahan ang aking paa at isipan
papunta sa bahay dahil baka bago pa ako makarating ay makatakas pa ang sama ng
loob.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Noong nasa
departamento ka namin ay hangang-hanga ang mga bago sa lalim ng boses mo, sa
mga mabulaklak mong pangungusap at sa iyong malinis na pananamit. Maliban sa
akin. Noon pa man ay wala talaga akong bilib sa iyo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;u2:p&gt;&lt;/u2:p&gt;Sa
tuwing pinagbubunyi mo ang pinagdaanan mo sa iyong OJT ay parang mahuhulog na
ang panga nila sa pagkamangha. Naubos ang salitang “Wow, ang galing mo naman”,
kapag kinukwento mo ang pagiging honor student mo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;u2:p&gt;&lt;/u2:p&gt;Dahil
sa katangiang ito, alam ko na madali mong makuha ang gusto mo. At na-promote ka
nga bilang bisor. Pero salamat at ‘di sa departamento natin. Namin na ngayon.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;u2:p&gt;&lt;/u2:p&gt;Masaya
ako kapag nakakakita ng mga taong umaakyat ng isang hakbang sa hagdan ng
tagumpay. &amp;nbsp;Tulad mo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;u2:p&gt;&lt;/u2:p&gt;Pero
pusang-gala, hindi ibig sabihin noon na kalimutan mo na kung saang departamento
ka galing. ‘Di ka marunong lumingon. Parang hindi ka naging isa sa amin.
Magkastiff-neck ka sana. Hiniwalay mo na ang sarili sa dating gubat
na&amp;nbsp;humasa sa iyo para maging isang mabangis na leon. Tulad ko.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Okey lang na
pagsabihan mo ako sa isang bagay na hindi ko pa nababasa o nalaman dahil nauna
ka lang nakabasa, pero ang taasan ng boses at hiyain ako sa harap ng
departamento, aba anak ng tupa, ibang usapan na yan. Pwede mo naman ibahagi
yung nabasa mo diba sa paraang hindi pasigaw na para bang gusto mong malaman ng
lahat na magaling ka.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Ang sa akin
lang naman ay parang hindi tayo magkakilala dati. Parang hindi magkasama dati.
Ano ba naman ang kausapin mo ako ng mahinahon at talakayin kung ano ang
mabuting gawin sa isyu ng bata mo? Di ba mas madaling gawin at kaunting lakas
lang ang mababawas sa payat mong katawan? Ganyan kasi ang natutunan ko sa
departamento na ito. Ang gawin ang payak pero mabisang paraan. At siyempre ang
gawin kung ano ang kayang gawin.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Sa wakas,
nailatag ko na din sa blog na &#39;to ang mga hinuha na kanina pa naglalaro sa utak
ko. Okey na ako. Siyangapala, hindi ako nakikinig sa mga kwentong OJT mong
kabaduyan.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;At kung Magna Cum Laude ang yabang mo, Suma Cum Laude
ako.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I can feel love in your eyes. I can see sadness in your
heart. I see love in your hate. I see
all the truth in your lies. I see your weakness in your strength.&amp;nbsp; I see your success in your failures. I see your sorrow from your smile. I see you want to be superman but you don’t
have a cape to carry them all.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I can see, you look like your mom. I can see your future in
her past. I see all her sufferings in your clothes. I see your dad’s sweat in
your tuition fee. I see your brother’s jealousy. I can see their bags were
smaller than yours.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I see you have a job now.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;But I can still see the pain hidden in your pride.&amp;nbsp;I see where you stand now from where you fall.&amp;nbsp;I see your plenty table in their none. I can
see you’re sleeping in soft mattress I see them in banig (woven mat commonly
made of dried coconut leaves). I see your burgers in their dried fish. I see your blame in yourself.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I can see your mom smiling to you. I can see your dad
drinking beer with you. I can see your brothers sharing stories about their first crushes. I see your family in eating a bountiful table. I see them all with you together.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
But then I close my eyes, I see it was you all the way. Through
my rise and fall, I see you’ve been my only friend. I see they will understand me
someday.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
And I see nobody else but myself.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I stand up and I still look fucking gorgeous in front of this
broken mirror.&amp;nbsp;And I was just talking to the man
in mirror.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Parang newspaper, Facebook agad ang unang binuklat ni Petra pagkagising sa umaga kahit hindi pa nagmumog o naghilamos. Nasasabik siyang malaman
kung ilan ang nag-like at nag-comment sa post niya kahapon.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Pagkatapos kasi magwithdraw ng sahod, bumili siya ng isang
paris ng Fitflop at dalawang Lacoste na bag at agad niya itong kinuhanan ng
litrato, siyempre kasama siya with matching Korean peace sign pose. Umorder ng
Mocha Latte sa Starbucks para tumambay baka sakaling makita siya ng mga friends
niya atleast andoon siya at, of course, makiwi-fi na rin. Konting cropping at
edit, ready to post na tsaka dinagdag niya sa album na “My Branded Collections”.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Yan si Petra. Mayaman. Glamorosa. Magara.&amp;nbsp; Sa Facebook.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Newspaper ang kinuyukot ni Aling Loling para pasigahin ang
mga kahoy. Nilagay sa kalan ang takuring uling uling na sa luma para makapag-init
ng tubig para sa kanyang kape na gawa sa sunog na bigas. Ito ang hudyat ng umaga ng nanay ni
Petra. Tumatambay sa kapitbahay para kamustahin ang anak dahil friends daw sila
ni Petra sa Facebook. Hindi pa rin daw nagreply sa message niya. Humihingi pala
ito ng pambili ng gamot ng kaniyang ama na kasing mahal ng kanyang Fitflop.
Umaasa din sana siya sa pangdagdag sa tuition ng kapatid niya na kasing-presyo
ng kahit sa isa niyang Lacoste na bag. Dahil sahod pala ng anak nito kahapon.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Ito pala si Petra. Sa
Totoong Buhay.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
(Si Petra ay likhang-isip lamang ni Boy Lapot at hindi totoo.
Kung pangalan mo ay Petra, pwes palitan mo na.)&lt;/div&gt;
