Ang Sa Akin Lang: Living Independently

Sinamantala ko ang Holiday na May 1 para maglipat ng mga gamit ko sa bago kong titirahan. Nuong una, nagdadalawang isip ako kasi parang magastos sa pamasahe. From House sasakay papuntang SM Centerpoint then sakay ulit ng G.Liner going to Robinsons Galleria para makarating sa Ortigas.

Ang hirap maglipat ng mga gamit mas lalo na sa tulad ko na sangkaterba ang mga anik anik. Two balikan na Taxi para makumpleto ko ang paglilipat ko.

Masarap tignan na ang mga gamit mo ay nasa ayos at nakalagay sa dapat kalagyan. Para akong may bagong buhay at bagong haharapin na pagsubok simula ng lumipat ako. Pero para sa akin, ito ay isang paghamon para tumatag ako bilang isang Tao.

NBP Building, along Aurora Blvd. cor. F. Roman st. San Juan M.Mla., nasa 3rd floor ako malapit sa may bintana. Sa baba ay ang Dental Clinic ni Dra. Carmela Isidro. Si Sir Raul naman ang kanyang masugid na asawa. Mababait sila. Malinis naman ang place nila. Maganda naman ang room ko at take note kulay Pink ito (which is my favorite color). Nagkataon lang na sumisikip ang kwarto ko sa kadahilanan na madami pala akong mga gamit.



Minsan, nakakalungkot ang mag-isa. Tanging si Elmo lang ang kasama ko sa kwarto ko. Kapag bumalik ulit ako sa Angono, Rizal parang hindi ko maipakita ang tunayna ako. May mga pretensions at dapat itago. Kaya umalis ako at hinanap ang buhay na kung saan ako sasaya.

Sa ngayon, masaya ako sa mga kasama kong housemates. Si Rudy ang nasa kaliwang kwarto. Siya ang madalas kong nakakausap at minsan kakwentuhan. Kagabi nakilala ko ang mga iba pang housemate ni Dra. Carmela na sina Ronnie, Robinson, Hannah, Angie at her hubby (yata!). Mukhang mababait naman sila. Masayang kasama. May mga plano na swimming at outing pero sana magtagpo tagpo ang mga schedule namin.



Sana tulunga ako ni Lord na minsan 'wag ma-depress.

Living Alone
How to Love Living Independently

© Beth Warren

Whether you're living alone by choice, the break up of a relationship, or maybe because of a bereavement, make it a positive experience by treating yourself with care and respect.

Staying Positive

You are not “living alone” - you are choosing to live independently. This is a positive rather than a negative.

Think of coming home as “returning to your haven” rather than going back to an empty house or apartment. Put some good music on as soon as you come through the door. Have things just the way you want them, without having to compromise.

Enjoy your own company in your own space.

Dealing with Solitude

Keep a journal. It helps to have some way of “debriefing” each night. If there’s no-one to share your day with, tell it to the journal. If you’re having a really bad day, write it down. If you’re having a good day, write that down too. Later on, when you’re having a bad day, you’ll be able to look back and see that the good days outnumber the bad ones.

Dealing with Depression

If you’re having a really bad day, go for a walk. It may be really hard to get out the door and you may still take your problems with you, but you’ll feel better for it and it will help you sleep. It will also make you feel better than a large block of chocolate.

Or if you really have to have the chocolate, walk to the shop to get it, then you won’t feel so guilty which will make you even more depressed.

Buy some flowers just for you.

If you feel self-pity encroaching, do something nice for someone else.


Keeping Busy

Plan some regular activities, an Adult Education class, book club, sport, concerts, theatre – anything that gets you out and amongst other people. Choose something that you really want to do and see it as a chance to exercise your mind. If you happen to meet some nice people there, that’s a bonus.

The weekends might seem very long at first. Plan one or two small outings to break them up – coffee with a friend, a walk in the park, a film.

Don’t wait for invitations, plan a dinner and ask friends, plus one or two people you don’t know very well that you’d like to get to know better.

Don’t plan a dinner that will cause you more stress than enjoyment, keep it simple and enjoy the company rather than spending the whole time in the kitchen. You can spoil the whole benefit if everyone departs at the end of a busy evening leaving you with a pile of washing up.

Start some projects, write letters to people you’ve lost touch with. Go to a book launch, the opening of an exhibition. Say hello to someone you don’t know.

And when the invitations do come, accept every one. You may be tired, you may not think it’s your sort of thing, you may not be sure about the people, but you may be surprised! Make the effort. You never know what it might lead to.

Plan a holiday – shopping and theatre interstate or a week at a Club Med resort. Or overnight near the coast. Eat out alone. Take a book so you won’t feel so self-conscious. Flirt with the waiters.

Or go to a weekend school – cooking, painting, music. You’ll not only enjoy the course but you’ll meet like-minded people.

Or just go to the local market. You’ll probably see someone you know, even if it’s just to say hello. It’s important to have human contact, even if it’s just the person serving you at the supermarket. When they ask how your day has been, ask them about theirs!

Dining Well

See independent living as a chance to dine like royalty every night. Buy a new recipe book of dinners for one and try a different recipe every night. Use the good china and have a glass of wine. Savour every bite.

If you can’t face cooking every night, cook hearty casseroles on the weekend and freeze single servings. Stock up on good quality, healthy, instant dinners. Then if you come home and you’re too tired to cook, you can grab something decent in next to no time.

If you don’t eat well, you’ll feel bad, lack energy and be more susceptible to illness, which will make you feel even more depressed.

You are in control. Start a new healthy eating program. Have treats at weekends when you know you’ve earned them. Enjoy fresh food. Experiment!

Event: BIGFISH 10th Anniversary::MOS:: INNOVATION WHITE

It’s hard to believe it has already been ten years since visionary DJ Tuck “TC” Cheah dreamed up the club brand that was to become the biggest dance outfit in the Philippines. Bigfish started with only a handful of people, but what they lacked in number, they made up for with passion. Bigfish revolutionized 1999’s burgeoning club movement without looking back, and the country’s partyphiles never looked at clubbing the same way again.
Bigfish celebrates a decade of being the leading dance production company in the Philippines with the Innovation White Party featuring Ministry of Sound, happening on June 26, Friday, at A-Venue in Makati Ave. Bigfish brings in two of the most sought-after icons in the worldwide dance community, Jon O’Bir and Christopher Lawrence

Man In the Mirror (American Idol Performance) - Kris Allen

Man in the mirror

Ooh ooh ooh aah
Gotta make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right

As I turned up the collar on
A favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street
With not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind
Pretending not to see their needs

A summer's disregard
A broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other
On the wind ya' know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change, yey
Na na na, na na na, na na na na oh ho

I've been a victim of
A selfish kinda love
It's time that I realize
There are some with no home
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be really pretending that they're not alone

A willow deeply scarred
Somebody's broken heart
And a washed out dream
(Washed out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see
'Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that change

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Man in the mirror, oh yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways, yeah
(Change)
No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
'Cause when you close your heart
(You can't close your, your mind)
Then you close your mind

(That man, that man, that man)
(That man, that man, that man)
(With the man in the mirror, oh yeah)
(That man you know, that man you know)
(That man you know, that man you know)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Change)
No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself then make that change

(Na na na, na na na, na na na na)
Ooh
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Na na na, na na na, na na na na)

Oh no
Oh no, I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good
Sure mon
(Change)
Just lift yourself
You know, you got to stop it yourself
(Yeah)
Oh
Make that change
(I gotta make that change today, oh)
(Man in the mirror)
You got to, you got to not let yourself, brother oh
Yeah
You know that
(Make that change)
(I gotta make that make me then make)
You got, you got to move
Sure mon, sure mon
You got to
(Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Make that change
Stand up and lift yourself, now
(Man in the mirror)
Make that change
(Gonna make that change, sure mon)
(Man in the mirror)
You know it, you know it, you know it, you know
(Change)
Make that change

Music: I still haven't found what I'm looking for - David Cook

I Still Havent Found What Im Looking For - David Cook



I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing fingertips
It burned like a fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongues of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the Kingdom Come
When all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well, yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds
And you loosened the chains
Carried the cross
Of all my shame
all my shame
You know I believe it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

-- Personality Disorder Test -- -- Personality Disorder Information --

Borderline personality disorder is characterized by mood instability and poor self-image. People with this disorder are prone to constant mood swings and bouts of anger. Often, they will take their anger out on themselves, causing injury to their own body. Suicidal threats and actions are not uncommon. Borderlines think in very black and white terms and often form intense, conflict-ridden relationships. They are quick to anger when their expectations are not met.

Symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder:
Self-injury or attempted suicide
Strong feelings of anger, anxiety, or depression that last for several hours
Impulsive behavior
Drug or alcohol abuse
Feelings of low self-worth
Unstable relationships with friends, family, and boyfriends/girlfriends

People with histrionic personality disorder are constant attention seekers. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to discribe everyday events and seek constant praise. They may dress provacatively or exaggerate illnesses in order to gain attention. Histrionics also tend to exaggerate friendships and relationships, believing that everyone loves them. They are often manipulative.

Symptoms of Histrionic Personality Disorder:
Needs to be the center of attention
Dresses or acts provocatively
Rapidly-shifting and shallow emotions
Exaggerates friendships
Overly-dramatic, occassionally theatrical speech
easily influenced; highly suggestible

While Obsessive-Compulsive personality disorder (OCDP) sounds similar in name to obsessive-compulsive anxiety disorder, the two are markedly different disorders. People with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder are overly focused on orderliness and perfection. Their need to do everything "right" often interferes with their productivity. They tend to get caught up in the details and miss the bigger picture. They set unreasonably high standards for themselves and others, and tend to be very critical of others when they do not live up to these high standards. They avoid working in teams, believing others to be too careless or incompetent. They avoid making decisions because they fear making mistakes and are rarely generous with their time or money. They often have difficulty expressing emotion.

Symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder:
Need for perfection and excessive discipline
Preoccupation with orderliness
Inflexibility
Lack of generosity
Hyper-focus on details and rules
Excessive devotion to work

Health: Mega care with MegaClinic at SM Megamall

For more info, you may visit their website

The first thing that caught my attention was its cleanliness. Kahit maraming taong labas masok sa Clinic na ito.

Hate na hate ko ang nagpupunta sa Doctor pero nuong nakita ko ang DLS STI Mega Clinic parang ang sarap magpa-consult. First time ko were Dra. Chan Getrude - Dermatologist. She removed my warts (as in!) and take note 2 warts. Syempre I'm nervous pero pinaramdam niya sa akin na hindi ako dapat matakot. Magaling siya kasi walang peklat iyong warts na tinanggal niya sa akin.

Next is Dra. Ria Santos - Opthalmoligst. Kadalasan, kapag nagbabasa ako ng libro o di kaya habang nasa harap ng computer sumasakit ang ulo ko. Kaya nagpatingin ako ng mata ko and so far she advise me lang to wear protective eyeglasses.

Third, is the Da Vinci Dental Clinic. I forgot the name of the dentist na nag-attend sa akin. Ipinaliwanag niya lahat ng mga dapat kong gawin kung paano alagaan ang mga ngipin ko. Ang galing niya kasi pinastahan niya iyong front teeth ko na hindi halata.

Fourth, with Dr. Jose Franco - ENT. Pinacheck ko iyong tonsils ko and I found out na may butas pala ito. OMG!!! Ipinaliwanag din niya kung bakit, paano at kung ano ang dapat kong gawin.

Sana next time na bumisita ako dito sa Mega Clinic ay para alamin kung ano ang makakabuti para sa akin. Ayoko na may malaman akong may sakit pala ako.

And I will do my best para mapangalagaan ko ang aking kalusugan.

Thank you to all the doctors and staff of MegaClinic for making me feel right at home and for making me feel you really care. More power to all of you.

And I would like to thank also iyong mga staff ng Maxicare and Fortune Care. Everytime na nagpapa-schedule ako ng consultation.

Love is the answer to every question - An essay by Christine Schaefer

The Answer To Every Question
An Essay by Christine Schaefer

Love is the answer to every question.
Why are we here? Love.
Where do we come from? Love.
How do we create world peace? Love.

It may sound overly simplistic to the modern
human being, since we are want to analyze and
look for complex answers to questions. We don’t
believe that life is simple and the answers to its
problems can also be simple: love.

In truth, what are anger, sadness, pain but the soul’s
desire for love?

If we learn to love ourselves without reservation, and to love the world in the same way, the answer is simple. It is impossible, when filled with love, to be aggressive or hate-filled or violent.

When we know that we are beautiful and wonderful, we see the world through those eyes. We see the beauty and wonder in all things around us.

We don’t need to look outside ourselves for the love we seek. It has been there all along. It is the voice of our self-esteem. It is our anger saying, ‘hey this is not right for me. I don’t want this in my life any longer.’

Self-love is saying no to abuse and betrayal. It is wanting the very best for yourself and accepting only that in your life. It is healing the wounds that you have carried all your life.

Self-love is walking away from those who mistreat you, knowing that you deserve better. It is taking the risk to pursue the career that will bring you joy. It is listening to your own inner voice – the one that will always guide you to what is best. It is trusting in yourself completely.

Self-love is following that little voice within that says, ‘ooh I want to do that today.’ Sometimes it means ignoring the voice of 'shoulds' and 'have-tos.' It is believing that, when you seek what you desire and fill yourself with joy, you will also be spreading that joy to those around you.

Love will fill you up so you will know there is nothing missing in your life.

Love will lead you to every answer.

ICor. 13:4-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails

Physical Attraction: Is It Important?

Physical attraction is an important part of each individual's romantic interest and our own personal sense of a complete package. To what extent physical attraction plays a role is up to the individual, but it shouldn't be discounted. The person that tells you otherwise is probably trying to avoid a facet of themselves we'll talk about in a minute.

Being hot doesn't have to be the most important consideration of a potential date, especially if you dig their personality, but I see no reason why it shouldn't be a factor (remembering that the definition of who's hot is up to you).

Most of our inclination to stray away from the physical is rooted in our own insecurities, not our desire. Not all of us want model perfect men, but we all have a formula for what makes our pupils dilate. What holds us back is a sense that our perfect hottie will not be attracted to us, not the other way around.

Sure you may be attracted to a fella online or via phone. Add pros next to those important categories, but don't feel bad if you're not attracted to him physically. Just as you may not be attracted to a picture perfect person who has no brains, it's perfectly ok to not be attracted to a person who is intellectual sexy, but physically dead. Many of us gay men get on the defensive to such comments because we think of ourselves as the physically dead, hoping someone will "see though" our physical deficiencies onto our personalities. The one cosmic joke is that most of us are more attractive than we think we are.

Rejecting the physical doesn't mean you're any less real or superficial. You are perhaps more real than most, given you aren't waiting by the sidelines to be chosen. You have a better sense of what you actually want.

Your shallow gage should be based on your own set of values. Ask yourself: What do you look for in a man's personality? What about career? Are finances important? Must he make you laugh? Are you more attracted to a thick build rather than a skinny one? The answers are up to you. You become shallow when you deviate from your own set of criteria (or don't have any at all).

Make your own formula for the ideal man, based on the qualities that are important to you. Don't limit yourself (as many of us do) on what we think we can get, go after what we truly deserve to have.

If you've been the victim of a lack of attraction, don't take it personal, take it for what it is- a non match. Only you can guard your self-worth and self-esteem. Don't open yourself up to the gay attraction meter, where we assume we are no attractive unless we pitch a perfect game. Sometimes we throw a curve ball, some times we're the cause of someone else's defeating home run. Either way, stay consistent and believe in your game. The other team didn't put you on the mound, your coach did... and guess what? That coach is you!

Ang Sa Akin Lang: Bawal Magkasakit, Mas lalo na kapag walang Pera

Bawal Magkasakit, Mas lalo na kapag walang Pera

“Health is wealth.” This is an age old wisdom we’ve heard many times before. As the Clusivol multivitamin ad says, “Bawal magkasakit.” This roughly means “sickness is prohibited” or “don’t allow yourself to get sick.” With the rising costs of medication and hospital bills, I couldn’t agree more to that.

Year 2009, hindi maganda ang pasok sa akin ng taon kasi last January nagkaroon ako ng Herpes Zoster. Siguro sa stress sa trabaho at sa environment. According sa doctor na tumingin sa akin, bumaba daw ang Immune system ko. Kaya heto, I take Vitamin B complex aside sa Vitamin C na 2x a day kong maintenance.

Ngayon, month of May, according to Dr. Carlos Zapanta (doctor na rin ng family namin) na magpa-check ako ng Blood sugar ko baka daw kasi mataas ito kaya hindi gumagaling ang sugat ko sa paa.

Nagkataon na naman ulit na wala akong savings. Palibhasa kapag may pera gasta lang ng gasta. Parang wala ng bukas. Hindi ko man lang naisip na baka bukas ay kailangan ko ng pera. Heto ako ngayon, naghahagilap kung sino ang mauutangan. Tanging diyos ang inaasahan ko. Na sana paggising ko bukas ng umaga wala na itong sugat ko.

Ewan ko ba kung bakit hindi ako nadala dala sa mga paulit ulit na pangyayari sa buhay ko. Ilang sugat pa ba ang kailangan para matauhan ako; ilang Herpes Zoster pa ba ang kailangan tumubo sa tadyang ko para bukas ay matuto na akong mag-ipok para sa sarili ko.

Matanda na ako, pero wala man lang akong naiipon sa dinami dami ng kumpanyang napasukan ko na. Puro celfone, mp3 players, at kung ano ano pang gadgets ang una kong inaatupag kaysa sa pangkinabukasan ko.

Kailan ba at hanggang saan para matauhan na ako!!!

Pagod na rin ako sa paulit ulit na scenario sa buhay ko na wala naman nagyayaring makabuluhan sa akin.

Siguro, heto na kapag nalaman ko na mataas ang Blood sugar ko at maging Diabetic na ako. Dito siguro matatauhan na ako. Dahil hindi na biro ito. Wala akong ibang aasahan kundi ang sarili ko. Balang araw, mga magulang ko mawawala na rin sa mundo at balang araw mag-isa na lang ako dahil ang mga kapatid ko may mga kanya kanyang buhay na rin.

Panginoon, kayo na ang bahala sa akin. Kung anuman ang resulta bukas, I deserve it. Kasi nagpabaya ako. Ilang beses na ninyo ako sinubukan, ilang beses ko ng humingi ng tulong sa inyo at tinulungan niyo naman ako PERO heto ganun pa rin ako! walang pinagbago.

Please help me God. Kung hindi ko na maibabalik ang panahon. Sana tulungan ninyo ako na makayanan ang mga darating pang pagsubok ninyo para sa akin.

For the meantime, heto ako nakahiga sa kama. Pa-picture picture na lang. Boring din ang nakahilata maghapon. Nagaantay sa wala. Sawang sawa na ako sa kaka-facebook, blog at YM. Nami-miss ko na ang magtrabaho, ang buhay maynila at buhay na normal. Sawang sawa na ako sa kakapanuod ng Game Ka na ba, Wowowee, Kambal sa Uma, mga palabas sa Cartoons Network at mga reality show sa tv. Nami-miss ko na ang room ko sa NBP Bldg. Namimiss ko na si Elmo. Sana tuluyan na akong gumaling!

Vitamin C, Vitamin B Complex, Charantia, Amplaya Plus. Iyan na ang mga iinumin ko kung sakasakali. Pero tulungan pa rin ako ng Diyos na sana hindi mataas ang Blood Sugar ko.

Movie: UP

The plot:
"The story of Up follows Carl Fredricksen (Ed Asner) who spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But one day, Carl finds himself to be 78-years old and his life has seemingly passed him by, until he befriends a chubby 8-year old Wilderness Explorer named Russell. The two opposites match up for thrilling adventures as they encounter wild terrain, unexpected villains, and all the terrifying creatures that wait in the jungle." (Source: Wikipedia)

Up is going to be a CGI-animated epic movie that will try to fill the gap between the generations! Would be nice to see grandparents bringing their grandchildren to watch UP in family.

Ang Sa Akin Lang: Pigsa

The main cause of boils is a bacteria known as Staphylococcus Aureus. This bacteria typically enters the body through cuts, scratches, and other breaks in the skin. They can also be transmitted from one person to other easily. They can even live on us all the time and a poor lifestyle, or nutrition are all potential causes of boils.

Boils and carbuncles are more likely to occur in persons living in poor hygiene or living in areas where sanitation is not good. These conditions are very common in rural areas of many develping countries like india and pakistan.
Some other causes of boils include:

* Ingrown hair.
* Splinter or other foreign material that has become lodged in the skin.
* Plugged sweat glands that become infected.
======================================================================================

Boils pala ang english term ng pigsa. Last Wednesday (May 13), nagpunta ako sa DLS MegaClinic para ipakita iyong namamaga sa paa ko. Si Dr. Paulino ang attending physician ko that time. Ang diagnose niya ay Cellulitis. He advise me to take Cloxacillin (Anti-Bacterial) for 7 days then after that may follow up na check up din sa kanya. He also recommend me for a 2 days bed rest. If ever na may pus (nana) na lumabas, hihiwain daw niya (incision). OMG!!!

Unfortunately, kinabukasan (thursday) pumasok pa rin ako sa office. Hindi pumayag ang immediate superior ko. It means non sense din pala ang Medical Certificate na binigay sa akin ng doctor kung ang discretion para ma-approve ang sick leave ay nasa immediate superior mo. Hay! at isa pang hay!!!

Friday, siguro naawa na ang boss ko kaya hindi muna ako papasok. I decided to go home to Angono, Rizal kasi dito sa place mag-isa lang ako. Wala akong mautusan na mag-assist sa akin mas lalo na sa pagbaba ng floor by floor.

Saturday, nagpa-check up ako ULIT sa Manila East Medical Center - Taytay, Rizal. Ang advise ng Doctor incision daw. OMG again!!! I can't afford the hospital bill despite of may Maxicare ako. Syempre pati Philhealth ko kukunin ang info BUT ang question updated ba ang contribution ko sa Philhealth para ma-cover ang No cost sa hospital kapag nagpa-admit ako??? Hmmmmm.......I'll going to check my contribution sa Philhealth! Syempre, hindi ako nagpa-admit. Tatapusin ko iyong medications ko and besides nawawala na iyong pain from groin going down. Sa mismong paa na lang.

Sunday, may nakikita na akong dilaw (pus) kaya ayun nililinis ko siya ng Aqua at betadine.

Ang sakit pala ng may pigsa! Grabe to the Max! Parang elepante ang paa ko sa maga. (Please see the picture inserted.)



Moral lesson, 'wag mag-swimming sa pool kapag may paltos ang paa!
Thank God at habang tumatagal humuhupa naman ang kirot at maga. Hintayin ko na lang mag-hello ang NANA at sabay PISIL sa kanya.

Sana makayanan ko ang sakit!
Please help me God!

I would like to thank:

Ang Sa Akin Lang: Fire Drill

Tuwing may Fire Drill nagpapakalat ng Notice ang building namin na sa ganitong araw may magaganap na Fire Drill. Syempre, hindi ako tanga para maghintay ng batingaw at bumaba mula 9th Floor hanggang Ground Floor (Buti na lang nasa 9th floor lang kami paano na kaya iyong mga nasa high zone floor) para lang sumali sa Fire Drill na iyon.

Kaya kapag alam na namin na papalapit na ang oras ng Fire Drill. One hour before, bumababa na kami ng building, kung sabagay nagkataon na lunch break din namin non. kaya hindi na namin kailangan sumali pa sa fire drill. Tumambay na lang kami sa McDo.



Ang napuna ko lang kada may fire drill, ang mga tao parang "wala lang" lumalabas sila ng building ng walang feelings. Gusto ko kapag fire drill dapat hindi alam ng mga tenant ng building para sa ganun makatotohanan ang mga takbo at paglabas sa building.

Tapos kapag nakalabas na ng building may makikita silang signage na: "DO NOT PANIC. THIS IS A FIRE DRILL ONLY!"

Ohh, diba vonggang vongga ang mga tao non. Akala nila may fire iyon pala Fire drill lang. Para makita ng mga tao o maramdaman nila ang tunay na emosyon kapag may sunog. Kaya ang mga iba dyan hindi ALAM ang gagawin kapag nandyan na ang TUNAY NA SUNOG!!!

Kaya ayan, itong nakaraan na Fire Drill walang mga tenant na nagsibaba kasi nagkakatamaran sila. Kahit naman ako eh, kapag alam kong Fire drill lang DEadMa!!!


Try ninyo minsan na magpa-fire drill ng walang abiso para sa ganon mas masarap i-video ang mga lumalabas at tumatakbo sa main lobby.

Happy Fire drill!!!

..........dito ko natutunan ang pahalagahan ang mga babae (sabi nga ni Ms. Gloria Cenidoza "kayong mga lalake kapag may lakad kayo at may kasamang babae, iingatan niyo ang mga babae).

..........dito ko natutunan ang "patak-patak" o "bente-bente" na tinatawag. Para lang magkasalo-salo lahat sa kainan. Kung wala kang bente makakasama ka at makakain pa rin kasi ikaw ang magluluto. No one will left behind maliban lang kung isa ka sa tropang bato.

..........dito ko rin natutunan na kapag bumili ka ng Ice at nakarinig ng "scanning" dapat mo pala ibato sa pader ang ice na binili mo.

Ang Sa Akin Lang: Sick Leave

Sick leave (or paid sick days or sick pay) is an employee benefit in the form of paid leave, which workers can use during periods of temporary sickness or to stay home and address their health and safety needs without losing pay or their jobs. In some places of employment it is a workplace policy, and in many jurisdictions it is codified into law. Some policies allow workers paid time off to attend doctor visits or to care for family members. - Source: Wikipedia.com

I understand that (1) Sick leave of more than 2 DAYS must be supported by MEDICAL CERTIFICATE: (2) Personal leaves must have the approval of my immediate superior and/or HRD; and that extension beyond the date covered of my leave will be considered AWOL subject to disciplinary action as indicated in Phesco policies handbook. - Source: Application for Leave of absence

I visit DLS STI MegaClinic para i-pa-check iyong namamaga sa paa ko. And the doctor said its Cellulitis. The doctor recommend me to take antibiotics and to rest for 2 days.

I informed my superior to file/apply this for sick leave BUT unfortunately she doesn't allow me. Her reason is: walang pupunta sa BIR.

Buti pa ang BIR may concern siya pero sa condition ko (ang hirap kaya maglakad) hindi man lang niya naisip. Tapos ang ibubungad pa niya sa akin, "Bakit pa daw ako nagswiming kung ganito naman ang mangyayari sa akin!"

Is this humanitarian?
I'm a human not a machine!

Napapagod din kami;
Nagkakasakit din kami;
Hindi kami tulad ng makinarya na kapag nasira pwede ipagawa o palitan ng pyesa.

Mas natutuwa pa siya na nakikita ang tao niya na naghihirap.
Isa siyang Demonyo!
Walang puso!
Mandhid!

Outing: 4K Cool Waves and Garden Resort - Catmon Sta. Maria Bulacan

May 8 - 9, 2009
4K Cool Waves and Garden Resort
Catmon Sta. Maria Bulacan.

It's our second time para mag-swimming at samantalahin ang summer. Kahit nuong una nangangamba kami na baka hindi kami matuloy kasi may bagyong Emong. But thank God, umaraw naman nuong araw na iyon (May 8).

Anyway, nagdecide kami ni Christian, Jen Y at Irish na pumunta sa SM Megamall Terminal para kumuha ng masasakyan. Maswerte naman kami at nakakuha kami ng Van worth 1,500 going to the resort. Convenient naman kami sa Van. Malakas ang aircon. Salamat!

Ang mga official na nakasama sa Swimming na ito ay sina: Jen Yang, Christian, Merby with her husband Harold and their son Harvey, Irish and her Hubby, Grace P and her niece and sister, Rochelle (dating Accounting na nag-AWOL), Mang Joel, Mang John and his son.

Habang nasa byahe syempre ang topic ay si ______________ (secret!). Then si Peter dinaanan namin sa Petron NLEX. Si Joan hindi nakasama kasi may lakad sila ng Family niya kinabukasan.

Almost one and a half hour ang byahe namin. 10 o'clock na yata kami nakaalis sa Emerald. Naligaw pa kami.

Ang Sa Akin Lang: Happy Mother's Day!!!

"No gift to your mother can ever equal her gift to you - life"

Habang ginagawa ko itong blog post ko, ang nanay ko nagsasampay ng mga damit na nilabhan ko. Hehehehehehe!!!

It's been a long time na rin na naglalaba ang mother ko para sa akin. I think mga 6 years na. Kaya everytime na uuwi ako sa Angono, Rizal at may mga bitbit na labahin. Hindi siya nagaatubi na kunin at labhan. Siguro nami-miss na rin niya na ipaglaban ako ng mga branded kong damit! etchoz!

Kaya sa iyo Mama, Happy Mother's day. Alam ko hindi namin ugali magsabi sa iyo ng mga ganito pero for sure alam mo naman ang mga iyon.

Lab Yah!

Movie: X-Men Origins: Wolverine

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is an upcoming superhero film based on the fictional Marvel Comics character Wolverine, due for release on May 1, 2009. The film is directed by Gavin Hood and stars Hugh Jackman as the title character. It is a prequel to the X-Men film trilogy, focusing on the mutant Wolverine and his time with Team X, before Wolverine's skeleton was bonded with the indestructible metal adamantium. The film was mostly shot in Australia and New Zealand.

Cast
Hugh Jackman as Logan / Wolverine, the mutant and future X-Man. Jackman, who played Wolverine in the previous films, has also become producer of the film via his company Seed Productions, and earned $20 million for the film. Jackman underwent a high intensity weight training regimen to bulk up for his role. He changed the program to shock the body into change and also performed cardiovascular workouts. He woke up each morning at 4 am to eat one of the small number of protein-based meals he was allowed each day. He wanted to portray Wolverine exactly as he did in the character's cage match entrance in X-Men, stating his inspiration was Robert De Niro in Cape Fear. Jackman worked out in a Queenstown gym where he would arrive daily at 6 am. He stayed in character and made noises while exercising. Jackman noted no digital touches were applied to his physique in a shot of him rising from the tank within which Wolverine has his bones coated in adamantium.

Troye Sivan plays the young Logan. Casting directors cast Mellet after seeing him sing at the Channel Seven Perth Telethon, and he was accepted after sending in an audition tape. Kodi Smit-McPhee was originally cast in the role, when filming was originally beginning in December 2007, but he opted out to film The Road.

Liev Schreiber as Victor Creed / Sabretooth: Logan's half-brother and fellow soldier. Jackman and Hood compared Wolverine and Sabretooth's relationship to the Borg-McEnroe rivalry in the world of tennis: Sabretooth hates him because he loved and needed his half-brother, but is too proud to admit he needs him back. Tyler Mane, who played him in X-Men, had hoped to reprise the role. Jackman worked with Schreiber before, and described him as having a competitive streak necessary to portray Sabretooth. They "egged" each other on set to perform more and more stunts. Schreiber put on 40 lbs of muscle for the part, and described Sabretooth as the most monstrous role he ever played. As a child, he loved the Wolverine comics because of their unique "urban sensibility". Schreiber had studied to be a fight choreographer and wanted to be a dancer like Jackman, so he enjoyed working out their fight scenes.

Danny Huston as William Stryker: Schreiber was originally in negotiations for the part, while Brian Cox, who played the character in X2, wanted to reprise the role. He believed computer-generated imagery, similar to the program applied to Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen in the opening flashback of X-Men: The Last Stand, would allow him to appear as the younger Stryker. Huston liked the complex Stryker, who "both loves and hates mutants because his son was a mutant and murdered his wife. So he understands what they're going through, but despises their [destructive] force." He compared the character to a racehorse breeder, who rears his mutant experiments like children but abandons them when something goes wrong.

Lynn Collins as Kayla Silver Fox: Wolverine's love interest, who becomes a captive of Stryker. Michelle Monaghan turned down the role because of scheduling conflicts, despite her enthusiasm to work with Jackman.

Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Deadpool: A wisecracking and thoroughly insane mercenary who can heal like Wolverine. Reynolds had been interested in playing the character in his own film since 2003. Computer-generated imagery is being used to create his eventually scarred visage.


Taylor Kitsch as Remy LeBeau / Gambit: A Cajun thief who has the ability to charge any object he touches with kinetic energy, forcing it to explode. The size of the object determines the magnitude of the resulting explosion.
Daniel Henney as David North / Agent Zero: A member of the Weapon X program and an expert tracker with lethal marksman skills.

Will.i.am as John Wraith / Kestrel: A teleporting mutant who becomes a Weapon X test subject. It is will.i.am's film debut. Although he initially did not get on with the casting director, he got the role because he wanted to play a mutant with the same power as Nightcrawler. He enrolled in boot camp to get into shape for the part. When filming a fight, he scarred his knuckles after accidentally punching and breaking the camera.

Dominic Monaghan as Barnell Bohusk: A mutant who can manipulate energy and electricity."

Scott Adkins as Weapon XI: Weapon XI will feature in the end sequence fight scene against Wolverine. Adkins was also Reynolds' stunt double.
Kevin Durand as Frederick J. Dukes / The Blob: An obese mutant with an indestructible layer of fat.

The film includes numerous cameo appearances of younger versions of characters from the previous films, including Cyclops (Tim Pocock), a Weapon X captive;Jason Stryker, William's lobotomized telepathic son who he keeps on ice; and Storm appears as a toddler. New characters include Emma Frost and Banshee, who are Weapon X captives.

Asher Keddie and Tahyna Tozzi are in the film, but did not state who they played. Poker player Daniel Negreanu has a cameo. Phil Hellmuth wanted to join him but was unable because he committed to an event in Toronto.X-Men co-creator Stan Lee said he would cameo, but he was not in Australia during filming, so this will have to be a pick-up conducted during January 2009.
