Lay All Your Love on Me

I wasnt jealous before we met
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
And Im possessive, it isnt nice
Youve heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isnt true
Now everything is new
And all Ive learned has overturned
I beg of you......

Dont go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little smalltalk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still dont know what youve done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I dont have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you dear......

Dont go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Dont go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

Ive had a few little love affairs
They didnt last very long and theyve been pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all Ive learned has overturned
What can I do......

Dont go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Dont go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

What Edward Means

What Edward Means

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts. You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it. You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator! You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

when they think you have it all

ang hirap no? kasi most of the people around you think that you have everything that you need in your life. that you are living your life like ok lang and seems like i dont have a problem at all. parang its a common understanding na because you show them you look like and act like this, ganito ka na rin.

if you dont get what im saying, sorry. nadedepress lang ako bigla. here's 2 example:

conversation with a friend in college:

me: i think hindi ako tatagal ng ganun katagal dito sa new work ko like sa previous.
friend: bakit naman?
me: nafefeel ko lang.
friend: ano ba work mo ngaun?
me: programmer
friend: wow sarap naman pakinggan
me: ngek
friend: bat ka pala umalis dun sa una e pabroad abroad ka na nga lang dun e
me: one time lang ako umalis dun
me: then paglipat ko dito, pumunta din ulit ako ng US, but then ewan ko, my iba kong gusto na work
friend: e asayo na nga lahat
friend: tapos nga ko ng comsci di naman nabingyan ng chance
friend: kaya eto photographer bagsak
friend: di kasi tayo pareho ng utak
friend: wala naman kc kong built in computr sa utak gaya mo
me: its all up to you. try mo. my mga entry level naman jan.

conversation with a friend/officemate:

me: regalo ko.. lapit na birthday ko!
friend: hahaha.. kailan bday
David Edward : uu
David Edward : next week
David Edward : pero tumatanggap na ko ng regalo ngaun
David Edward : go
friend : nyahahaha..
friend : hirap regaluhan ang isang edward
David Edward : hahha
David Edward : ano ka ba
David Edward : hindi naman masyado
David Edward : oaky na ko
David Edward : sa isang nautica silver watch
David Edward : hahahah
friend : o dba
David Edward : hahaha
David Edward : bkit?
friend : mga rich people lang ang makakapag regalo sau
David Edward : ngek
friend : anu ka ba
David Edward : hidni naman
David Edward : cge kahit ano lang
David Edward : hahahha
friend : simpleng tao lang ako
friend : anu ba gusto ng isang edward sa isang simpleng tao
David Edward : hahha
David Edward : ano k aba
David Edward : simple lang ako no
friend : mahirap mgisip ng regalo sa taong halos kaya na nyang mabili ang lahat ng gusto nya
David Edward : grabe naman
David Edward : oh cge
David Edward : eto di ko kayang bilin
David Edward : house and lot
David Edward : hahahah
friend : wahahaa
friend : sabi ko na nga eh. di talaga mrich ng simpleng tao yan

well, pedeng just for conversation's sake kaya nila nasabi yan. but still, there are things that money cant buy. remember?

i dont have it all. kung nasa kin na lahat, i wont be like this. merong mga kulang sa buhay natin na napupunan through other things. just stay happy. be thankful sa kung anong meron tayo na binigay ni god.

sabi ko nga:

"you cant have it all, dahil hindi naman araw araw eh birthday mo na gusto mo nasa iyo lahat".

and also:

"god made those imperfections for you to stay humble."

well, sana happy kayong lahat. i feel happy kapag nakakakita ako ng taong masaya. especially ung mga simpleng bagay. i wanna try again ung maligo sa ulan. maghabulan sa kalsada. those simple things that makes my heart jump in joy. :D

my new panget na haircut

iba na hitsura ko.. waaa. im so panget na.. pero ang nose bridge ganun pa din! hahahah

my acer

i have two laptop at the moment. my very first laptop and the newest laptop in my possession. i bought my first laptop a year ago and then the second one hmm maybe two months ago. since it is not practical to have two laptops which is really not, im planning to sell it. i just need to reformat it again and put it back to a cleaner state (meaning no personal files and programs).

here's the spex:

> Intel Core Duo T2350 1.86Ghz
> 15.4 screen size
> 1 GB memory
> 160 GB HD
> Card Reader
> 4 USB port
> no webcam in the machine

so, if anyone is interested in buying my laptop, leave a message na lang po and how much you want it.

happy birthday jm!

birthday ni lolo jm ngaun. hehehe. okay, he's not my lolo talga, he is a friend that i pondly called lolo. teasing each other kung sino mas matanda saming dalawa. si jm is like a real friend na rin naman to me, not just an online buddy, and we've known each other for more than a year. when i signed-in to my ym account, nagping si lolo. naka iv. sabi nya ei ei ei. hahaha.. sabi ko happy birthday though i greeted him yesterday pa when we chat. but today is different, today is his special day. so i asked him kung san ang lakad and he told me wala daw. sabi ko naman why? eh ganun naman daw talga cya, its not a special day ika nga. eh for me, i said to him that it is his special day nga today (ang kulit ko sa part na ito) so dapat icelebrate nya. so i asked him labas kami. sabi nya wag na daw and wala na daw cyang pera, i told him naman libre kita birthday mo naman. he replied na hindi naman daw cya ganung tao, first meeting then papalibre agad. eh i told him naman not be maarte kasi wala naman sa kin iyon. i treat him as my friend and some of my friends receive the same kind of treatment. pero ang lolo mo nagmamatigas. ayaw daw nya. even anong kulit ang gawin ko to celebrate his birthday ayaw nya. babawi na lang daw cya. i dont know how to feel. naiinis ako kasi its your birthday dude tpos wala lang. ok, exagg. pero for me araw mo iyon. The only day in a year na sa iyo iyon. Important date in your life.

nagtampo ako, i dont know if because he rejected my offer. pero i told him na hindi ko alam kung maiinis ako or magtatampo. dahil pag nagtampo ako, it will take not weeks but months. ang arte kasi. :p so now at the end i just said na happy birthday na lang ulit. and i think he knows na nagtampo nga ako.. hahaha.. kulit mo kasi lolo jm, feeling artista nag iinarte.

and lastly, sinabihan ako ni mokong na - "alam mo ang galante mo, pero one thing na nagtitipid ka. hindi ka nagrereply kapag tinetext ka. and ang tipid mong magtext". hahaha..

i forgot to text him kasi and to greet him. nag inarte lolo nyo. tsktsk.. gusto pa ng my sms. hahaha. well, its my personality na rin kasi, even my college friend pag quotes nagsend ok. pag nangumusta dun ako magtetext like we were talking and seating right next to each other. pero minsan talga di ako nagrereply like "meet you at 1 pm at this place". im not gonna reply na if i know the place kasi understanding na ganun. :D

till next time na lang. Lolo JM happy birthday ulit! di mo ko nilibe kala mo, pag shopping mo ko pag nagkita tayo.. hahaha. :p

soloista ulit

ayun.. soloista ako ulit kanina.. nagising ng before lunch then nagchat, checked my mails and then after thinking what i will do for the day, i decided to watch a movie kanina. naka-alis ako ng past 1.
still undecided sang mall ako pupunta, habang kausap itong si ced nabanggit nya trinoma. hmm. ive never been there, so sabi ko cge dun ako pupunta. so naligo ako nagsuot ng lee na pantalon, old navy na tshirt at nagspray na curve na pabango (my ganun talga! hahaha) then ayos ng buhok tpos nagsapatos at binitbit ang zune ko at ang adidas na jacket. so pano ko nakarating ng trinoma? simple lang, isang jeep papuntang buendia, tapos MRT patungong North Ave. okay naman ung byahe though punuan sa MRT and im just afraid that my wallet be lost. so far, nakarating naman ako ng Trinoma ng walang nawawala sa akin.

so akyat ako ng fourth level after kong makapag tanong kay manong guard kung nasan ung cinema, pag akyat ko GEEZ! ano ito?!!. ang haba ng pila sa counter!! sa my bilihan ng ticket. eh sa glorietta di naman ganito. sa rockwell di naman ganito, sa megamall di naman ganito. tsktsk.. nag uugaling brat na naman ako, pero napigilan ko dont worry, matyaga akong naghintay sa pila until my turn. maybe it took me around 20 minutes more or less in falling in line.

First movie, MAMA MIA. 2:45 showing time late by 5 mins. or maybe 10 because i bought fries and softdrinks both in large size cause i havent eaten anything yet at that time. it was superb! galing ng pagkakagawa. parang ang sarap ulitin. :d it ended around 4:35 pm.

Second movie, DARK KNIGHTS. 5:00 pm showing time. but before i went to the cinema 3 i went down to 3rd level to make a pee and to check myself at the mirror if i still look neat or good or bad or whatever. :p and then i went back to fourth level cinema 3 and started the DARK KNIGHTS movie. it was like "ok, so-so", i didnt enjoy it that much. its like its okay if you didnt have the chance to watch it. nothing loss. it ended around 7:40 or so.

next stop i go to the concierge and asked them if there are any salons there to cut my hair. and lucky me, FIX shed that night is fully booked, DAVIDS Salon im customer number 8 which will make me bore so i look for another one.

i ended in Acqua Salon. i told the stylist that i want my hair still long but maneagable and low maintenance. but then, right after more thatn 30 minutes, i dont like what im seeing in the mirror. i have a clean cut look. back to basics. he cut my hair so short. geez! he doesnt understand what i said to him before he started cutting my hair. but then i never complain, i just said "ok" when he showed me my hair at the back of my head.

home at around past 10. and tired, because kakaikot sa mall. next time ill change shoes. :

Dermstrata

i changed the derm clinic where i used to have my facial and peeling. anak mayaman,., hahhaa

before kasi it was Mendez in Megamall, dinala ko pa nga mga friends ko dun eh. Eh since hindi na ko nagagawi ng Megamall ngayon and masyadong malayo sa makati (i Mrt ride) sa MOA na ko napadpad. pero promise, naghanap ako ng Mendez kung meron, but wala. second was ung Bio essence (been a client din dito before sa Mendez), so nung wala na sabi ko inquire ako sa DermStrata.

i had my diamond peeling nung first week ng July then my promo is valid for one month. Three sessions of Diamond Peel. So far okay pa naman, compared to Mendez, Mendez kasi is derma talga ung humahawak ng mukha mo, but here sa Dermstrata mga attendant nila.

so far wala pa namang nababago sa hitsura ko. dahil pag meron hay naku di ko alam anong gagawin ko sa peke kong mukha. lahat na lang total overhaul. so un!! hahaha..

tonight, pupunta ko dun, papalinis at peel ako ng mukha. feeling ko kasi madumi na.. hehehe.. see you!

This is my Month - July

missing my high school friends

yesterday while i am online, my "sister" ghee buzz me. introduce ko muna cya sa inyo. Gina is her real name, she was my classmate in high school, from first year to fourth year. pano kami naging close? we share the same day ng birthday - july 30. (lapit na, pahingi ng regalo - belt sa guess ung my malaking G ahahah).

well, matalino si gina as i say kasi nasa top ten cya. ung circle of friends namin parang parehas lang din, pero cyempre meron cyang mga friends sa college na di ko na kilala kasi we separated ways. i continued my studies here sa manila cya naman dun pa rin sa province namin.

i remember before, ang way of communication namin nyan through letter - college days. wala pang cellphone that time sa amin. so i will send a letter dun sa brother ko then he will give it to a person na neighbor ni gina. so ganun ung exhange of communication namin. mahaba haba na rin naman pinagsamahan namin.

we talked yesterday, chatting and asking the condition of each and one another. in my deepest sincerity, i asked her if she was okay. not the typical yes im okay, but as a whole. ung situation nya, ung work nya, emotional and all. i really hope that she was okay. and i found out nga na naggagamot cya because of kidney stone.

we continued to talk, we told each other na pag my time kita kami and have some coffee. i tell her na miss ko na cya and ung mga friends ko nung high school. deep in my heart totoo un. i miss the simple edward adn the simple life that i have before. no complications and all. but sabi nga, magpatangay ka na lagn sa agos ng buhay.

sincere ung pag uusap na un. lalo pa nung sinabi nya na "bro lapit na birthday natin". uu nga sabi ko. for her its just an ordinary day but for me i want to make it special. i wanna go in a place na ive never been. sana lang we can still celebrate our birthday together.

miss ko na ung mga totoong kaibigan ko before. ung nakita nila kung pano ko nagsimula at nakita rin nila kung pano ko narating kung nasan man ako ngaun. i miss you guys. ayusin ko lang problem ko sa family then uwi na ko ng bataan, and promise you na pupuntahan ko kayo. :D

how not to spend money?

can you teach me how? kasi thats my problem na.. as long as i have money, im a happy go lucky guy. i know that i need to change it. remember the last post? i said hindi na ko bibili ng pantalon right? guess what i bought? a new leather shoes and body pillow. ah, i forgot pa, i have a new comforter for my new bed. :D hahaha.. sabi ko hindi na ko gagastos but seems like its a never ending process. i really hope na wala na kong gastusin na malaki. ayoko na. please.

and regarding sa new apartment, meron na kaming sofa and dining table. hehehe.. nag general cleaning kami ni ate jaja nung sat. and nung sun mejo naglinis pa ulit ako. hahahha.. puede ng lumipat. screen na lang ng windows and mga kurtina. iyon lang.

4k in two days = magtipid ka na

napa oh my god talga ako nung nalaman ko na yan ang gastos ko within two days.. parang hello.. im not in the US anymore na ok lang kung gumastos ka ng 100$ in two days dahil my allowance ka naman. parang okay, biglang tipid mode na dapat. pano ko nalaman yang gastos ko? usually naman kasi i dont compute iyong mga expenses ko. eh im maintaining 2 accounts, chineck ko iyong balance. sabi ko bakit parang ang baba na. so gawa ako ngaun ng computation.

yesterday, pumasok na iyong sweldo. last wednesday nagclear na rin ung last pay check ko. so divided sa dalawang account ung halaga ng kayamanan ko. then withdraw withdraw. so ngaun nga, nagulat ako kasi nung nagbayad ako ng CC bills ko, talgang nagulat ako sa balance ko. eh di lagay sa mahiwagang notebook ng mga details ng account. compute compute ulit. pati pera ko sa wallet binilang ko na, ilang hundreds and thousand ang nandun. tapos addition na ng mga available balance. then inadd ko na din ung pumasok na pera.

so total income - available balance. kaboom! ang laki ng difference. less than 10k. imagine in three days time lang.. my god talga. so compute compute, alin ung mga nagastos para sa new place then nung na ok ko na ung computation ang suma total - 4k in two days. food or what ever man yan hindi ko alam. nagugulat ako sa mga pangyayari. hindi naman ako anak mayaman. kamusta naman iyon. hindi rin naman ako sustentado ng aking mga magulang dahil nga nagpatakwil na ko sa kanya (patay na pala nanay ko so no need ng gamitin ang word na mga magulang) and hindi rin naman mayaman tatay ko.

dahil sa mga naganap, hindi na ko bibili ng pantalon ngayon. my nakasakay kasi ako sa jeep na parang ang ganda ng pantalon, so parang it hit me na i want a new pants today. SALE pa naman sa MOA. pero hindi ko pa naikot. so dahil nga sa mga pangyayari, hindi na ko bibili sa mga kadahilanang:

una kailangan ko ng magtipid dahil sobrang gastos ko na at hindi naman ako anak mayaman. sariling pera ko ang ginagastos ko. dugo't pawis sa aking pang gabing trabaho. joke!. / :p

pangalawa, marami na akong damit (ayokong magsound na mayabang dito clear ko lang). Marami in a sense na pwede akong hindi magpalaba ng damit ko in more than one month. meron akong damit na nasa isang bagahe ko pa, meron pa sa isang malaking storage box, and lastly, meron pa kong darating na dalawang shipping box ng damit mula sa aking pagsstay sa amerika ngayong taon na ito.

at higit sa lahat, nagtitipid ako.. hahaha

so ngayon, tigil muna sana sa mga gastos.. bukas, bibili ako ng sofa and dining table. :D
iyon lang sa ngayon. sana matapos na itong mga gastos na ito. tsktsk

moving to a new home

yep. i will be moving to a new apartment these coming weeks. cyempre i need time to transfer all my stuff from the condo to the new apartment. so pano ung mga preparation ko?

Preparation 101:
1. Una, all my stuff sa luggages ko from the US is hindi ko na nilabas. Its stays there. Iyong mga pasalubong ko lang ung inalis ko dun. cyempre hassle pa kung liligpitin ko pa ulit.
2. i bought 2 big boxes for my stuff. Iyong plastic na storage box. I put my other stuff sa loob like ung bags and iba pa. iyong isa naman, mga damit ko naman nilgay ko dun. :)
3. I separated my old and ung hindi ko na ginagamit na mga damit. I put it dun sa isang luggage na nabakante. So wala ng masyadong damit iyong cabinet ko.. hehehe
4. I bought a new bed and cabinet for the new apartment. hahahah.. excited na kong lumipat.

so need na lang ng mga new furniture sa new house. this coming weekend bibili ako ng sofa. :D
then ung mga dapat pang bilin. shocks! pahiram ng credit card. .hahaha.. wala na kong cash..

need ng linisin ung mga room and iyong buong house. excited na talga ako.. hahaha..

US Trip - Summary Edition

ill try to summarize ung mga places that weve been nung nasa US ako this year. iyong mga solo post, im not sure kung magagawa ko pa.. hehehe.. ill try.. so, lets start..

Wakulla Springs, Florida

From what our officemates told us (Tallhassee office), maganda daw itong place na ito. kasi its a natural park, close to nature and marami ka daw makikitang mga animals especially alligators. so kami, one weekend we went there to check the place. Public Park nga cya. you need to pay five dollars for entrance nung car with capacity of 8 people inside. when you enter the park, puedeng mag picnic. there are tables provided. then bumaba kami sa my bandang lake, you need to walk papunta sa lake kasi medyo malaki ung place, nung nakita na namin ung lake, the next thing na chineck namin is ung schedule ng boat tour. Yep. ito iyong sinasabi ng mga co-worker namin na itake namin, especially ung glass iyong bottom na boat. of course, when glass ung bottom nung boat we're going to see whats swimming under the boat and ano pa ung mga kahayupang nasa ilalim ng lake. Admission Fee for the boat ride is 6$ per person. Based sa mga kwento i already imagined what to expect. Kasi sabi nila you will closely encounter ung mga alligators, snakes and birds. eh im afraid sa snake, so i imagined na ung snake is bumababa from the roof nung boat and nakapark kami sa my gilid ng lake.. hehehe.. i expected the worst talga. but nung nagtotour na kami, hindi naman pla ganun kamorbid as what ive imagined. ok lang, tama lang. ano mga nakita ko? mga alligator, snakes sa tubig, different kind of bird species, turtles at kung ano ano pang uri ng halaman at bulaklak. So far, the boat ride was okay. the depth nung basin ng lake is 200 feet ata. And on the same place din shinooting daw ung Tarzan movie before. :D

NASA Visitor Complex, Orsin Florida

We went here when we had the long weekend kasi Memorial Day. Ang dapat gawin sa opisina ay pinapagpaliban para sa gala na ito. NASA was located in Cape Canaveral Island, mga more than an hour from Orlando. It is a huge place, you need to follow signs going to Visitor's Complex kasi if not you might end up one of the launch pad ng NASA but merong humahabol na patrol sa inyo kasi prohibited place na un.. hehehe.. and not to mention ung mga camera pa pala sa road. We spent 6 hours inside the Complex, kasi they have a tour once you ride the bus. they will bring you to different spot para makita mo ung most of the part ng place even not whole. ano nakita ko dito? alligator again sa daan, mga ibon sa puno. well aside from those things, cyempre nakita ko rin ung big building kung saan ang mga space shuttle is nanggagaling papuntang launch pad. Grabe! as in.. ang laki ng pinto nya. i cant imagine kung gano cya kataas. merong 2 flag sa building na un. Flag of US and NASA Flag. there are two big doors na parang roll-down (?). i also saw ung crawler na naghahatid sa space shuttle going sa launch pad. it takes 24 hours para mailipat ung space shuttle patungo sa kanyang launching site. kasi sobrang bagal talga ng crawler, eh imagine pag bumagsak ang shuttle sayang ang bilyones ng mundo. nakita rin namin ung launch pad but not closely kasi restricted and hindi kami bumili ng pass na mas malapitan, mauubos kasi ung time namin, ung launch pad meron ng space shuttle. May 30 kasi lilipad ang Discovery papunta sa Space Station para maghatid ng tubo ng sirang banyo. Yep. You heard it right. Ang gagawin nya lang dun is ihahatid ung parts ng sirang bathroom sa Space Station. Nagtagal cya sa Outer Space ng 2 weeks,. kasi the time i left Tallahasse that was the time na nagland naman ang Discovery sa Cape Canaveral. :)
Marami kang makikita sa tour nila. You will hear the different stories nung mga past explorations nila, ung mga sumabog na shuttle na nasa launch pad, ung nawalang shuttle sa Outer Space. different stories, different emotions. pero cyempre nandun din ung team ni Armstrong! hehehe.. Panalo! My picture din ako ng nakalutang sa shuttle, post ko one time. hehehe.. We also experienced ung Space Shuttle Simulation. So talgang nakaupo ka dun and para kang palabas ng earth going to Outer Space. You will see a lot dito sa Park na ito. Prang sasabihin mo na, i wanna go to Outer Space, Now NA!!! hehehe..

St Augustine, Florida

We went here twice. First was ung naka brown ako na long sleeve and naka formal ako. Nagpakamodelo kumbaga. Over dressed. hahahha.. I dont know naman kasi what to expect. So ako, yan ung naisipan kong isuot. Nag ikot kami sa St. Augustine. Oh nga pala, St Augustine is the oldest city in the United States. :D
A lot of people in the US like to spend time for their honeymoon in this old city. Kasi nga romantic iyong place and oldest city pa. Naakyat din namin ung light house ng walang bayad kasi merong activities that time, so libre ung entrance sa kanya. And nakakapagod cya, no joke!!! parang feeling mo matatanggal iyong mga stairs pag umaakyat ka and dirediretso ka pababa.
Isa pang nakakatakot is sa pinakataas na. Ung peak nya. Kasi ung railing butas butas. hindi cya solid railing na half body. Steel kasi ung gamit nila. Sobrang hangin sa taas, ang sarap sabihin nung famous line sa commercial na - "Mahangin ba sa labas?".. hahhaha.. naenjoy namin itong place na ito.

Tyndall Air Force Base, Panama City Florida

Sabi nung Indian na co-worker namin, my Air Show daw sa Panama nung weekend na un. And they asked if we already have a plan that coming weekend, and sabi namin wala pa. Nood daw kami kasi maganda ung air show. That was my first time na manood ng ganun. Advice ko lang, if ever you want to see a show like this, bring an umbrella and ear plug. Nakakabingi ang mga ugong ng eroplano.!!!.. pero superb ung mga moves nila. kahit malaking plane imagine napapaikot nila? kamusta naman un! basta, masasabi ko lang - "Magaling Magaling"...
Right after nito, mga 2 pm umalis na kami, we went naman sa beach to check out. pero wala kaming balak maligo, wala akong dalang extra shirt!!! bwiset.. naghubad ako ng shoes tapos naglakad lang sa baybayin ng Panama Beach..

Universal Studios, Orlando Florida

First time kong pumunta ng Universal, i dont have any idea kung ano ung makikita ko. hindi ko rin chineck ung website nila para wala akong expectation. mahirap na pag hindi nameet ung expectation mo. masakit. pero this time, sobrang okay ako!!! kakapagod nga lang.. kasi 2 parks 2 day ung ticket namin. then sa haba ng pila sa mga ride sa loob at wala kaming time maghintay, bumili pa kami ng express card worth 50$. pipila kami pero unti lang dahil hindi naman lahat merong ganung card. dun lang sa can afford. :)
nasakyan ko ung Hulk nilang rollercoaster na my 2 malaking ikot at matagal na roller coaster, even ung flying dragon na nakalaylay ang paa.. Sobrang saya. Alam kong my fear of height ako, pero bakit ko gustong sumakay sa mga ganito? HINDI ko rin alam.. hahaha.. dun nga sa Hulk na ride, napagod na kong sumigaw sa unang ikot pa lang, so nakatingin lang ako sa paligid ko at ineenjoy ang baligtad na mundo.. hahahhaa..
Ticket price is nasa 100$.

World of Coke Museum, Atlanta Georgia

Ang only park an napuntahan namin sa Atlanta aside sa Outlet Mall.. hahahhaa.. Cyempre una naming pinuntahan ang Coke. Ticket Price nasa 30$. Combo na un together dun sa Georgia Aquarium pero like what ive said hindi na rin namin napuntahan ung Aquarium. Alam ko maganda sabi nga nung mga nakapunta, wala na kasi kaming time. Weekend lang meron kami and 6 hours drive from Florida going to this place. My nabili akong mga souvenir, pati ung isang bote ng coke na free para sa mga bisita. At dito mo din matitikman ang ibat ibang lasa ng mga products ng Coca Cola. Free Taste kumbaga. uminom ka lang.. hehehe.. Merong softdrinks from Asia, Africa, North America at kung san san pa. pero walang Coke from Philippines or any soda na mula sa atin. :(

Disney World, Orlando Florida

Bumalik ako sa pagkabata. No joke!!! hahaha.. naalala ko si Mickey Mouse and Friends. iyong mga tipong movie nila na pinapanood namin sa mga VHS tapes (wala pang cable nun). natuwa talga ako. kaya lang rampa kung rampa dito. takbo dito takbo dun. kasi inikot lang naman namin sa isang araw ang tatlong Theme Park ng Disney World: Animal Kingdom, Epcot and Magic Kingdom. Buti na lang sa animal kingdom my kapit, salamat sa tito mo Kuya Glen. :)
ang nagagawa ng kapangyarihan nga naman minsan, hindi naman abuso un eh. once lang naman. Sinakyan namin ung parang roller coaster nila pero di bumabaligtad. And nasa front seat ako, seatbelt lang ang meron ang ung lubid(?) na nasa side mo para hawakan.. kmusta naman.. ang taas nya. Napuntahan din namin ang Saffari ng Disney, kumain sa Thai restaurant, at naglakad ng umuulan. Nagpunta sa Tree of Life. Then next stop is ung Epcot. 2 bagay di ko makakalimutan dito. Wala akong picture kay Mickey Mouse!!! kahit abot kamay ko na cya.. kasi ung time para sa picture taking is tapos na, no once can enter the premises.. hay talga.. as in hay.. second na di ko malilimutan is ung Trip to Mars na space shuttle ride. eto mafefeel mo talga na my pressure sa maliit na cabin. madilim sa loob at ramdam mong umiikot ka talga. my pressure sa loob, you can feel ung bigat and gaan mo. how i say this things? kasi lumaki ako ng unti, my excess fat ang aking stomach, nung nandun na kami sa loob at ung shuttle is palabas na ng earth ang bigat na ng pressure, ung tyan ko feeling ko pinupull ng gravity pababa.. hahahaha.. so iyon.. mas masaya itong ride na ito kesa ung sa NASA. kasi ito parang close encounter talga. nasa loob kayo ng cabin kasi. You have two choices sa ride na ito, yung Green Side and Orange Side. The Green Ride is just a minimal pressure, so-so lang kumbaga. The orange one ung extreme. Cyempre, sa Green kami.. Joke!!! hahaha.. We chose the Orange one para feel talga.. :)

Florida State University, Tallahassee Florida

Baseball game ito. First time to watch live baseball game and sa FSU pa. Maganda ung game na pinakita though nangagapa ako sa scoring. Im sorry, pero di ko talga alam pano scoring sa game na ito. How each team garner their score or points. My libreng cap pa.. Remembrance.. hahaha

Governors Square Mall, Tallahassee, Florida

Ang mall na marami kang mabibili. Kung sana ang mall sa Pilipinas ay kagaya ng mga mall sa kanila na hindi masyadong matao tulad nito. :D
Marami rin akong nabili sa mall na ito, mga pasalubong - Victoria Secret, Bath and Body, mga accessories ko and mga clothes and shoes.
Isa pang trademark pag napadpad ng Governors Square - Bourbon Chicken sa Cajun Cafe!!! hahahaha.. tutubuan na tayo ng balahibo kakakain ng bourbon chicken pero masarap cya. San kaya meron nun dito sa Pilipinas?

Lake Ella, Tallahassee Florida

Ang Lake Ella. Napaka silent na lugar nito. Pwede kang mag relax, magpakain ng mga bibe, humiga sa damuhan at tumingin sa langit habang papalubog ang araw, ung tipong my katabi ka at magka holding hands kayo. Sa atin ang tawag dito - Luneta.. joke lang.. hahaha..
Iyong park na ito, the usual park. you will see different kind of person. my bata, my matanda. pero napaka peaceful nya talga. kung gusto mo ng inner peace, dito ka dapat pumunta. para kang dinuduyan sa lamig ng hangin na dumadapo sa iyong mga pisngi. at sasabihin mong puede bang umidlip kahit sandali dito?. puede naman basta my dala kang blanket. okies?


That was the summary ng mga gala. I know meron pang hindi nakasama. I'll try to do it another time. :)
