tour inside my room

since ive been out of the country for about three weeks now, let me tour you inside my room "first". we're gonna do it part by part until you finally see the whole unit where i am staying right now.


so first stop is my room. what are you gonna see inside? charan! come inside. sorry guys mejo magulo ung higaan. hehehe.. ur goona see my room on the right side after you opened the door of the unit (im referring to the place).


since im occupying a two bedroom suite - there is no more available for one room - so i have two bedrooms. but what im using right now is the masters bedroom. malaki cya ng konti compared dun sa isa. you can also find here is the ironing board wherein if you wanna iron your clothes (but for me, i dont use it).

on the left side of the bed - pag nakahiga ka - you will see these foods. sorry ubos na ung soda. hehehe.. takot lang akong magutom or matakaw lang cguro ako kaya pati sa room i also have foods. beside the food is of course you can see the lampshade then ung alarm clock. the first time i used it, was like it didnt sound. but as long as i use it, nakakarindi na rin sa tenga. talagang you have to get up to stop it. i have two lamp shades, sa magkabilang sides ng bed. on the other side is the phone inside the room, my other mobile phone which i also use as an alarm clock. and inside the drawer - a bible. someone left the bible as written inside the bible. so i have a bible inside the room and a bible inside my bag. and also inside the drawer is ung mga cologne na nabili ko para pasalubong. yihii!! hahaha.. 9 colognes na un, pero im not sure whom im gonna give it. :D


this is my lababo. its not inside the bathroom, katabi lang cya. so i put my toiletries here. the soap, the face moisturizer which i also bring everyday in my bag, the gels, the lotions, facial cleansers, toothbrush and toothpaste, etc. pati pang shave ko ng bigote nanjan na rin. cyempre kailangan ko lahat ng iyan dahil ang mukhang meron ako ay hiram lamang sa syensya. so kailangang alagaan. baka magalit sina doc na pagbalik ko ng pilipinas iba na naman hitsura ko. pero pansin ko malaki na eyebag ko, kailangan na rin cgurong pabawasan sa doktor ko, panget ng tignan eh. below that lababo is ung mga drawers - on one drawer ung body soap and shampoo, on the other drawer is ung socks and hanky's and undies. also dun sa bottom left is ung laundry basket, but inside that cabinet.


when you enter the room, right side is ung bed and on the left side is the table with tv. my drawers na ring kasama. so ung laman ng drawers is mga papers, some jogging pants and - see pics below -


ayan! hehehe.. hindi naman ako "sugapa" sa chocolates. lets just say na kaya ko lang bumili. just kidding. marami cya, kasi i admit na my favorite chocolate is kisses with almonds, so kung merong manliligaw sa kin - ok na ko dun. hahaha.. mali! sana okay na ung ganyang chocolates sa liligawan ko. hahhaa.. nakakaubos ako ng isang pack ng kisses sa isang upuan, at pag hindi ko pa pinigilan goodluck na lang. hehehe.


and last part is the bathroom. nice bathroom, wala lang salamin sa loob, kasi nga nasa labas na. first few days ko d2 puro hot water talga kasi its so cold outside since there is still snow in the area where we stay. but the problem with my skin is nagdry cya. sobrang dry talga.

then i also experienced rashes. my nangangati talga na sobrang dry. i thought it was my "papaya
" soap (hahaha). so i changed my soap to Dove moisturizing soap. and then i also stop taking Centrum - dito lang kasi ako bumili ng vitamins - kasi nga i was going to figure out the cause of the rashes. so when i stopped using the papaya soap and the Centrum umokay na ko ulit. but last night i took centrum ulit. and also the papaya soap ginamit ko na rin.


sa kanan ng lababo is ung lalagyan ng mga damit ko. hinanger ko na cya lahat and ung pambahay nakatupi lang. meron ding whole body mirror sa gilid para if you wanna check your outfit everyday. below that clothes is my 7 pair of shoes. you read it right. seven! gonna post why i have seven shoes. :D

natour ko na kau sa loob ng kwarto ko. the sad part is minsan naghahanap ako ng katabi! wahhahaa.. ang laki kasi ng kama but nauutilize ko naman lahat ng parte since malikot akong matulog. pati rin pala ung unan sa kabilang kwarto kinuha ko na. kaya when im sleeping now, i am sorrounded by pillows. nalulunod din ako minsan sa comforter, kasi naman hindi maganda ung comforter nila, hindi proportion ung lambot, pag hinatak mo at tinaas ung part na isa lahat ng laman sa loob bababa dun sa kabila. hehee. un nga lang, kailangan lang talga ng katabi sa pagtulog.

want to share the bed with me? just for one night?

my lola..

today, March 27 is the same date that my grandmother died. i dont know whats with the number 27. parang ang daming pangyayaring tumatapat sa date na ito.
una, elementary graduation ko is 27. and umakyat ako with medals. ( dapat my ganun).
second, namatay nga ang lola ko last March 27 - 2 years ago. i am a fourth year college student then.
third, 27 din namantay ung mother ko, May naman. 1989.

this entry will be for my grandmother muna.

cya ung nakamulatan ko na nanjan para samin. ung everytime we go to the school everyday (nilalakad lang cya) hahanapin muna namin cya sa bakuran at magpapaalam na papasok na. nagaganap ang ganung pangyayari hanggang high school ako. well, elementary public school ako. dahil isang kanto lang ang layo ng school sa bahay namin. hehehe.. high school naman - public pa rin. sinundan ko ung pinsan ko kasi natakot ako dun sa mga estudyante dun sa private school and thank god di ko dala ung card ko nun kaya di ako nakapag enroll..

name ng lola ko - maria. she was born on the year 1920. i can say na sa ming 2 magkapatid na inalagaan nya, mas close ako sa kanya. plus the fact na im not close to my father - ilang taon ko na ring hindi nakikita and wala pa akogn balak magpakita. ung lola ko ung katabi ko sa pagtulog simula bata pa ko. cya ung "kumakamot" ng likod ko nung bata ako pag magkatabi kami sa higaan at nakakatulog ako dahil dun. at sa kanya ko rin nalaman na dapat hindi kapantay ng unan ko ang unan nya - the reason? kasi mas matanda cya sa kin.

cya ung maagang gumisgising sa bahay. dahil bahay nya nga kung san kami nakatira. hindi lang kami ang inaalagaan ng lola ko. ung mga nauna ko pang pinsan pero dahil bunso nga ang tatay ko kami ng ung huling batch ng apo na inalagaan nya. i can say na sometimes masungit ang lola ko. sabi rin ng iba. ayaw na ayaw nyang nakakakita ng babaeng nagbibike for some obvious reason. mahal ko ung lola ko. kasi dahil sa kanya kaya ako nandito.

pag nagbigay yan ng pera sa min dati once dumating ung pension nya, bibigyan nya ko ng doble sa binibigay sa kapatid ko. at wag ko daw sabihin na ganun ung binigay nya sa kin. eh di cyempre tuwang tuwa naman ako, kunbg binigyan ung kapatid ko ng isang daan, two hundred naman ung for me.

meron pang one time, hindi ako binigyan ng tatay ko ng pambili ng sword ko na gagamitin ko sa CAT. ( hindi ko alam bkit pag ako humihingi ng pera lagi cyang walang pera - kahit kasusweldo lang nya - hay ewan ko sa kanya!) - so i told my lola about it, eh kaka-ani lang nun sa bukid and my mga palay sa bahay ng lola ko (dun din pala nakatira yung father ko and ung second family nya) - so sabi nya sa kin pumunta daw ako sa tita ko ng tanghali at ipapabenta daw nya ung isang kaban ng palay para my pambili ako ng sword. so nung hapon na un pag uwi ko pinuntahan ko ung tita ko, kinuha ko ung pera and punta agad ako ng olongapo. naghanap ako ng sword at nilagyan ko pa ng ilang pirasong tussel. hindi un alam ng tatay ko. wag ko daw sabihin and hindi rin pinsabi sa tita ko. from that experience alam ko na mahal ako ng lola ko. kahit minsan nag aaway kami at minumura nya ko. -lol- tapos sasabihin pa nun na wag daw akong tumabi sa kanya sa pagtulog - eh wala ka, hindi pa cya humihiga nandun na ko sa kwarto! hahaha. so tabi pa rin kami.

hanggang sa naging ulyanin na ung lola ko. kasi cyempre matanda na cya. umalis ako ng province and went here sa manila 2001. nagcollege na ko nun sa olongapo. so everytime na umuuwi tita ko sa province sumasama ako para makita ko lola ko. ang kulit pa nga eh, lahat daw ng bata pangalan edward! hahaha.. everytime na my tatawagin cyang bata - sasabihin nun "ayan si edward oh! ung apo ko!".. (tutulo na luha ko waaa..) parang lahat ng bata edward ung pangalan sa lugar na un and alam ng mga tita ko un.

one night nanaginip ako, magkayakap daw kami ng lola ko and umiiyak ako and she was also crying. ayoko raw cyang bitawan, prang nagpapaalam cya. pero binitawan ko din cya and iyak ako ng iyak. the following day, nagising ako ng umiiyak and my luha sa mga mata ko. the same night while doing thesis docu, my cousin called the house here in manila and ako pa nakasagot, and told me na wala na raw si "inang" ( thats what they called her). so ako parang natulala. bkit naman ganun di ba? bakit ako pa ung kailangan at unang maka alam? so i tell my housemates what is about that call and sila na kumausap. and they told us na ang peaceful daw namatay ng lola ko. nagpa alam lang cyang magpapahinga na, and they thought na matutulog lang kasi gabi na rin naman, but hindi na raw nagising.

at least, kahit hindi ko nakita sa huling sandali ung lola ko ng buhay at my malay pa, alam namin sa isat isa na nakapag paalam kami ng maayos. utang ko sa kanya kung ano at nasaan man ako ngaun,. kung my isang taong pag aalayan ko ng lahat ng ito, sa kanya ko iyon iaalay. cya ung taong tumayong magulang ko. ama at ina. lumaki ako sa piling nya. mas pipiliin ko pa cya kaysa sa tatay ko. totoo un, sabihin na nilang masama akong anak pero mas pipiliin ko talaga ung lola ko over my father even mismo sa harapan nya.

ang dami kong memories sa lola ko. ung biruan namin nung ulyanin na cya. na ang kulit kulit pakainin. hehee.. tawa lang ng tawa and nakangiti. pero hindi ako napipikon.

how i miss my lola. she is the only reason why i keep coming back sa province dati. cya ung main reason. but now na wala na cya, its been years the last time na nagpunta ako dun.

kung nasan ka man "la", miss na po kita. and sana maayos ka po sa kinalalagyan mo. sana bantayan mo pa rin ako kahit wala ka na dito. un lang po. thanks po sa lahat ng ginwa mo para sakin. sobrang thankful ako na nandun ka lagi sa tabi ko. ung panyong gamit ko nung elementary ikaw pa ung nagtahi nun. thanks thanks talaga. sana mayakap kita sa oras na ito.

Miss na po kita "la".

Famous Daves - Gaithersburg, MD

another lunch out offered by our counterpart, and this time we (I) make sure that its going to be different . not the burgers and not the pizza! enough of those foods! .. hehehe..

and thank you to google and i found this resto. and thank you to map quest for the map directions. hehehe..

Welcome to FAMOUS DAVEs RESTO...





US version of our Outback Restaurant in the Phillippines. ok ang food. wala akong reklamo. ( David's comment: pano naman ako magrereklamo nyan, eh puro karne na nasa harapan ko, wala namang gulay! kaya masaya ako)..

sobrang sarap nung muffin nya. kung titignan, malaki na ung muffin nya ( kasi nga dito sa US they serve big servings - but for little guy like me - eh sobrang sarap nga nya, so dalawa kinain ko, hehee.. wala namang nagreklamo sa mga kasama ko eh, kaya ok lang cguro. ok din ung meat, malasa. kaya lang ewan ko ah, sila kasi ung pagkain nila sarap to the bones, eh hindi ko naman kinamay, i used the fork and knife. so after we ate, they told me na ang dami pa daw meat nung piece of meat na kinuha ko. eh wala na eh.

at eto pa! merong bowl dun sa table, eh cyempre kain lang kami, then ung dumi nasa plate din namin, then sabi nung kasama namin, do you know whats the use of this? (referring to the bowl nga), eh di isip naman kami, so i told her na its for the bones. and she said, "youre right!". nagulat lang daw cya kasi wala daw kamign nilagay. so i put a piece of bone from the plate on that bowl just to show her that we used that thing. hehehe. and i made a joke na there is an invisible little dog in that bowl.

so far so good. we are all thumbs up for the food taht we ate! KUDOS to FAMOUS DAVE.

note: hindi lang namin alam how much ung binayaran nya. hehehe.. kasi ung isang inorder namin nasa 52$ na. wala pang tax and drinks. hehehe

new lay out. entries coming soon,,

as you will notice, i have a new lay out! yes.. i decided to change the look of my blog. and thanks to those many web pages editor! it really helps! (sarcastic mode!) hahaha.. i sincerely thanks my textpad for making this possible. its so hard with those codes in plain text. thanks for my subjects before. its just like that the time i spent in making this design is much longer compared when i used frontpage. hehehe. anyways, its been so long since my last post.
its almost 1 am and i need to sleep for tomorrow. ill make a post tomorrow evening when i get home. so many stories to tell.. hehehe..

not sure

im not so sure if im going to change the way my blog is. from the way it look, thats what im thinking now, but the problem is, i dont have a software installed in the laptop im using here in the US. so how am i going to do that? hmm. well. not sure. hehehe..

im feeling okay. living by my ownself. need to do the dish washing, the laundry and even ironing of my own clothes. well, i know how to do all that, though its just that years had passed the last time i do all those things. that is the time before i moved-in in Manila.

living in a foreign land. it excites me. how i wish someday i will be back here. and be wealthy enough so that when i go back in the philippines, i can say that here is the result of what ive worked hard abroad. i think im loving USA. hahhaa. i really need to go back here. work here and live here. but i do have plan of course of returning back.

i have so many entry to do. but i always think that i dont have the time. well, maybe tonight i can do the Bolinao entry, that was more than a month old entry. and i dont have any words or stories here in my blog about that. i wish.

im not sure how these things will turn out to be. especially the gym. wahahha.

Trip Picture

erasing and moving on?

i dont why the title of my entry today is like that. its 10:30 pm here in Gaithersburg and im not yet fall asleep. the reason behind is that i just came from the gym ( yep, i do have goals right now to built muscles, a little, and i really i can do that).

so why the title? after reading a blog entry about moving on, it crossed my mind about me and "k". i asked her to delete my phone number from her unit and i will do the same. the night i asked to do that, she replied to me that if im having a bad night dont do anything bad to make other people night turn to bad. what i just said is that if she can kindly erase my number from her phone and thats all im asking for. im not hoping anymore for something to happen between us, i mean to have a relationship. how many times i tried to call her and she didnt want to talk over the phone and one time she agreed i wasnt in the mood because of the reason she told me why shes going to answer the call. all i want is to clear all the doubts that i have and be true to each other. honesty is all im asking for. but how can you prove honesty when you didnt see the person? you can feel it, yah, but still you have doubts. and i do have mine.

well, i can say that im moving on little by little. the system that she entered was back to normal. it wasnt like before that im thinking of her everyday, that i was smiling every now and then when i think of something about her and me. im smiling till now but with different reasons.

time to move on. i know that im selfish sometimes that i just think of my own happiness. but i think ive given you enough time to clear all the doubts that i have. to erase any negative thoughts that i have with you.

if you read this, i just wanna say thank you. and trust what other people say to you, you will never know when they will get tired. If you love them, show them. Show them that you are willing to face anything with him or with her. That with each other, you can surpass all the trials. but it never happen to us. thanks for the time

i hope and pray to my Lord God for you to find the perfect one. or the one whom you will love. whom you will spend the rest of your life with.

Goodluck in everything and God BLeSS. :D

and i was here...

hello po. good morning to all of you. sorry for not updating my blog for the past 4 days or 3 days since i left the country. well, here i am now. after a long travel for less than 24 hours ( thats how long it is. sigh) we finally reached our destination.

Thank you to Cathay Pacific for bringing us to honkong and to LAX. And to American Airlines for bringing us to Washington.

The trip on Cathay was so peaceful that i dont have to worry anything since that was my first time to ride an airplane. waaaa.. and my sleep was not a sleep. i just slept for about 15 to 20 mins. then my eyes are wide open again. but i have a problem on the food that they served in Cathay from Hongkong to LAX, since i dont veggies, i really dont like it, i did not eat the main food that they served. i dont like the taste of the pasta so i changed it to chicken and since i was so lucky there was no anymore chicken available and they served me a fish, and i really dont like the taste! and the omelette's that they served, a lot of herbs. imagine how can i eat that? so i just live by eating breads, juices, sodas, and yogurt.

We waited less than 5 hours from LAX for our next flight here in Wahington, and we ate at burger king. and i learn a lesson. dont eat like your in the Philippines, that you want to upsize it all. cause they're serving for the big people. waaa. so i wasted my food. not really wasted but i brought it here in the hotel and just ate it after 2 days. hehehe..

we already went to our HQ and meet the people there. they are all nice. and we had lunch for two consecutive days with Gaye, our counterpart. and when we introduced ourselves with her, she told me, "ahah, and youre edward". hehehe.

but all in all, the experience as of now is great. but when we go here last wed, the temperature i think was in negative celcius. and it feels like that my "doctor enhanced" nose is bleeding inside. and we never stay out because of the cold and we dont have a business there. and also, Gaye lend us all a jacket that we can use. How kind she is.

We went to the grocery store last Thursday, and i spent 30$ for my grocery.


And thats for now. will keep you an updates and the pics soon. i love this place! waaa. feels like i was been here before. or my life before was like this? hmm. watcha think?

Godbless to All.

aalis na..

after some incidents and some delays, tomorrow will be our flight going to the US. hay. naka impake na ko last weekend pa, hahaha.. excited? hmm. not that really kasi naman for some reasons.

last night, we had dinner with the peepz, ate russ mamimiss ka namin! pagbalik ko d2 wala ka na. hay.

ingat ka dun ah.

basta next gala natin, MALAYSIA na, wahahaha.. im so excited.. :)

my thesis docu

waaa.. i saw this in my email. my thesis revision after i had my defense. ang lakas ng loob kong itake mag isa ang thesis. wahahha.. ngayon, when i think of it, parang did i really think of it? doing thesis just by myself? hmm. ewan ko. si god naman ang kasangga ko nun eh. hehehe.
