TEN THINGS

1. im a vain person. for regular day, i take a bath before going to work and at night before going to sleep.

2. im using a whitening soap and i take gluthathione. :D

3. i love sleeping. that is the reason why i do have lot of pillows beside me when i sleep. ;)

4. i love travelling. going to different places and meeting different kind of persons.

5. im shy at first meeting. im reserved. pero once to know you a little bit more and im comfortable being with you, riot na ito.. hahhaha

6. i love clothes, shoes, bags, jackets, watches. mga things na i dont have when i was a kid. iyong tipong you only had what you need. pero ngaun, im buying all of these things with my own money.. hahhaa.. enjoy!

7. i always make sure that i look presentable when i meet other people for the first time. but in the US, i already tried having my grocery ng nakapajama lang! while snowing outside. hahaha.. "look mommy he's wearing his pajama" - bwahhaa.. sinapak na sana natin ate ja ung bata.

8. my mother died when i was 5 and my father re-married again after 3 years. my lola took care of me when i was still a kid but she passed away last 2006.

9. i dont know the feeling of having a complete family, i dont even know how to have a father. all i know is that im so independent that i can celebrate christmas and new year all by myself.

10. i love my friends. they are my family. they are the one who stands beside me and always understand me. especially my high school friends. ;)

you can answer this if you want. :D

this is my own battle..

yep. indeed my own battle. a battle between a son and a father. a son who has been far away from home more than 7 years ago. a son who have live his life the way he imagined. a father who has a second family to take care of. a son who has his share of struggles in this world.

a father and a son. not too close. with personal differences. a father who disown his own child. a son who sees there is no difference before and after. disowning him as a son does'nt even bother him a bit. why is that?

a talk. happened a week ago. a son who wanna settle things with his own father. home sweet home. there was no home to call after all. a talk that lasted less than an hour. a crying father. a strong son.

father saying sorry while crying. son is just listening.

explaining things will not erase what happened many years ago. it gives you another reason why it happened. keeping an open mind. not blaming anyone.

son did not say all the hatred and grudges he have. mouth shut. saying only yes, maybe.

no tears fell on his cheek. not even a single tear formed in his eyes.

this is me. strong. matured. stone hearted. a new personality. that even the father was also amazed by the change.

this is me. i am david.

On Night Shift

dahil sa kailangan sa trabaho ko, hindi nyo po ako mahahagilap sa araw dito sa blog ko. kahit po sa ym ay wala rin po, dahil ako ay nagpapahinga sa mga sandaling iyon.

hindi rin ako makagawa ng mga entries sa mga nagdaang pangyayari sa buhay ko dahil mas kailangan ko ang sapat na pahinga para akoy makapag trabaho ng sapat sa gabi at hindi natutulog. need ko ang lahat ng lakas ko para ako ay manatiling gising.

babalik ako sa regular (1-10 - di pa rin pala ito regular) na oras next week. at baka sakali mas marami na kong panahon para ikuwento ang mga nangyayri sa buhay ko..

iyon lamang po.. Maraming Salamat.

*bangag na sa antok. lapit ng uwian at kakatapos ko lang magdeploy at magtest.

HS Friends

i went to Bataan last Sunday and nakipagkita na rin ako sa mga high school friends ko. but cyempre iyong iba wala rin jan.

from left to right: maricel basi, nomer gebone, n.g.'s gf, eric lanoza, cherry de jesus, catherine alonzo(?), gheena garcia and david.edward

on the pictures above, ang talgang close or should i say barkada na nakakasama ko is from eric's side to gheena. nomer and maricel are my classmates and also a friend but not barkada that i go out with.

and to Joel, Congrats for being a new Father! Be Responsible to your new role. Proud Daddy - you have a boy now. hehehe..

Sandals and Sandals

since hindi naman ako naka shoes parati, these are my sandals that i use. ;)

Shoes and Shoes

di ba sabi ko before im gonna post my shoes? well,here it is..
my 18 pairs of shoes.

Pens and Pens..

even before pa, i love collecting pens na. and simula last year up to this time, these are my pens. but dont ask if i use all of them, coz the answer is HINDI. hahahha..
wala lang, i just love seeing different colors of pens. :D

this is it...

this is it.. di ba sabi ko dati i will talk to my father na to settle things. well, the time has come for me to put things back into place. i send a sms message sa tatay ko ( nakuha ko sa tita ko ung number nya knina lang din) and asked him where i can go since i wanna talk to him and settle things. i did not expect anything naman, a response or what. after a while my phone rang, it was him whose calling. so i dropped the call - jokE! hahaha.. i picked it up cyempre. then iyon.

we talked.
it goes like this:

me: hello
father: uwi ka?
me: uu
father: kelan?
me: sa linggo
father: san ka ba?
me: manila
father: so uwi ka sa linggo?
me: uu, pero san ako pupunta?
father: kina auntie linda mo
me: ok
father: so uwi ka sa linggo, hintayin kita?
me: uu
father: cge bye
me: bye

ganyan lang cya kakaswal.
i felt sincerity sa voice ng tatay ko. wala ung galit or tampo. mahinahon cya. and same with my voice. so iyon. i dont know what will happen sa Sunday. i dont expect anything.

so iyon. nagtext na rin ung tatay ko sa tita ko sa batangas. kinukumusta lola ko and sinabi na nagtext nga daw ako. and he's happy about it.

my ninong/tito also send me a text message na sana maayos na rin daw namin ng tatay ko kung anumang gulo meron kami. my ninang/tita also send me a text message telling me to tell my father lahat ng hinanakit na meron ako para mawala na.

thankful ako sa knila. pinapangaralan pa rin nila ko sa edad kong ito kahit di nila ako anak. hahahha..

so on sunday uwi ako ng bataan. :D
ayusin ko muna ung mga pasalubong nila na binili ko sa US. hahaha..

Grande Island - Summary

this is just a summary of our barkada outing last weekend.. okay - lets start!

Friday night - sa apartment natulog sina Ate Russ, Maybelle and Josche. late na rin natulog dahil nanood kami ng DVD (Caregiver). nice nung movie. natulog ng around past 2. or mag 3 am na ata un. nag empake na rin ng sobrang damit.

Saturday - last akong gumising.. i know. sabik ako sa tulog eh. un na un.. then after maghanda ng mga gamit at makaligo, kumain ng breakfast sa Jollibee. right after that bumalik ng apartment para kuhanin na lahat ng gamit. nagtaxi papunta sa terminal ng Victory Liner sa Pasay.

8:30 am umalis na ung bus going to Olongapo. 12:00 noon dumating ng Olongapo ung bus. Since dun naman ako nag college, alam ko ang papunta sa loob ng base. hahahah.. sumakay ng dilaw na jeep, kumain sa Greenwich, naghanap ng masasakyan na van papunta sa pier kung san sasakay kami ng yacht or bangka(?) papunta sa Island. kinuha ung food na dala namin kasi bwal daw. so nilagay sa locker nila.

past 3 pm dumaong na sa isla ung yate, nahilo ako sa byahe. nakakahilo ung 45 mins na ride. ang gulo gulo pa sa front desk. marami akong reklamo. nagkakagulo sila na parang walang concentrated na staff sa iyo. parang labo labo na..

nung nakuha na namin ung room key nagbihis na at naligo ako sa dagat. ako lang muna! hahaha.. excited eh. then naligo kami sa pool nila na malaki. daming koreano. hahaha..

after that naligo na sa dagat, naglaro ng sand castle. tapos naligo and nagdinner.

the following day:

morning - breakfast - solved.
nag ATV kami. twice ako umulit.. hahaha.. kasi merong sobrang ticket ginamit ko na. then after that nag banana boat kami. twice din ako sumakay dahil sobra ulit ng isa ung ticket namin.. hahaha.. lucky me.

after that ligo sa dagat and prepare na going back to Manila.

nagcheck out sa hotel na magulo na naman at nawawalan daw kami ng isang towel sa tatlong room namin. 600 daw ung bayad. nakipag usap pa ko in not so very good manner.

umalis ung yate pabalik ng olongapo 1:30 na ata.
nag lunch sa gerrys. then naglakad sa loob ng subic and then pumunta kami ng station ng bus para makabalik ng manila.

4 pm nakasakay na kami ng bus pabalik ng manila. 7:30 nasa manila na kami. :)

Leo

Positive Traits	Symbol and Dates	Negative Traits
NOBILITY PHILANTHROPY POWER WARMTH LOYALTY PROTECTION	The Lion Jul. 24 to Aug. 23	ARROGANCE TYRANNY SELF-SATISFACTION VANITY IMMODESTY PROMISCUITY
Excerpt From "The New Astrology©" by Suzanne White
The Leo subject, like the king of the jungle, is all power and innate substance. No Leo lacks for bravery or courage. Leos are willful and belong to the sign that most characterizes ego and self-esteem. The Leo person is determined and able. He will always find a bevy of loyal subjects who adore and adulate him. In the role of guide and pontiff of their lives, Leo can be both severe and indulgent. Most Leo people look a little like lions. Often they have huge lovely manes of thick curly hair and their manner of standing or sitting shows self-assurance and dignity. Lions are regal. Sometimes they appear overly confident and even arrogant. Lions are also identifiable by their sunny, superior demeanor. Leo people are generous with both their fortunes and their affection. Because of their innate superiority, they feel they can afford to be giving. You can practically always count on Leo friends for their aid in times of need. Not only does it come naturally for them to bestow good turns on friends, but with each favor Leo enjoys gaining advantage and is not above taking an "I told you so" attitude. Leos enjoy being surrounded. They often come visiting with an entourage. The sense of family is very strong in their lives. Leos love to entertain and even to "hold court" with guests who will laugh at their jokes and nod at their outlandish declarations. You won't find Leos in snap jobs. Find Leo a citadel to conquer, a cause to embrace or a worthy enemy to track and destroy and the Leo subject will be content. Leo is a conqueror. Triumph is his middle name, failure his mortal foe. Nothing inspires more pity than a downtrodden or beaten Leo. Defeat doesn't sit well with Leo, gives him indigestion and depresses him. I know Leos who are forever telling me how they got wounded in this or that professional or romantic situation because their adversary was wily or cunning and did not operate out of strength alone. Subtlety is not the Leo's strong suit. Leos are spendthrifts. Money, come by without too much struggle by the prodigious lion, eats away at the bottoms of Leo's pockets. Then, when he's spent it all on what he deemed so "important and essential," Leo complains bitterly. "Where is my money? My lovely money." Thing is, Leo is serious about family matters and also about business responsibilities. He hates to be in debt and hastens to pay off in full whomever he owes, sometimes to the detriment of his cash flow. Leos are extremely vain people. It isn't surprising, then, that extramarital affairs tend to creep into their lives. Leos have energy and tenderness to bum. If they are not sufficiently adored and worshiped at home, Leos might just go looking elsewhere, Leo friends are an asset to anyone's life. Their innate sense of pre-eminence is comforting. To please Leos, tell them that they are fantastic and magnificent. And remember that with all his apparent panache and pride, Leo was once just a kitten.

responsible journalism

i wanted to be a reporter. i want to take MassCom for me to enter the journalism field. parang there is something to it na masaya. of course aside sa fact na you will always be updated on what is happening on the country.

while reading some national news and showbiz news, i came accross on one article. its all about the resignation of Joey de Leon on Manila Bulletin. if i may quote ung content ng article:

gusto daw ni joey de leon na maging miserable ung buhay ng editor na nagsulat na flop ang show ng Eat Bulaga sa LA. and based dun sa nagsulat ng article, his/her side is dun sa entertainment editor. na puede naman daw na patawarin na lang ni joey ung editor, na patawarin na lang since matanda na rin naman si joey and sana maintindihan nya dahil senior na naman cya sa showbiz industry.. mga katwiran na baluktot at hindi tama.. puedeng sa tingin nya ay tama dahil kaibigan nya iyong editor..

okay. para sa akin this is my point on the issue. He is the editor of the said newspaper hence he should be responsible for all the news that came out on the newspaper under him. And the article the he - himself - wrote should practice responsible journalism.

Point by point:
1. The editor said na flop daw iyong show - okay.. Nandun ba cya sa mismong show? Wala. Responsible Journalism is abused.

2. Joey de Leon should forgive the editor - Not Okay. Everytime na my ganito ba papatawarin na lang lagi? Because senior ka pagbibigyan mo na lang iyong nagkasala? Tell me. Objective pa ba ito?

3. The editor should be ashamed of himself - for him to write article that is not first hand information and for even him not present in the show itself, nakakahiya. You are an editor. You should know what a responsible journalism is.

Journalism is about telling the people whats the truth. What is really happening either good or bad. The people should know. We dont need to protect anything or anyone just by destroying other.

Editor ka. Ibig sabihin narating mo yang posisyon na iyan dahil my sapat kang kaalaman sa larangang pinili mo. Ngayon, ng dahil sa isang artikulo na sinulat mo na wala ka mismo sa lugar at mali mali pa ang sinulat mo, hindi ba dapat mahiya ka na sa sarili mo?

At sa kaibigang writer ng editor na ito - do you think objective pa rin ba ung ginawa mong article? pinalabas mong masama ung isang tao para maiangat sa sarili nyang kasalanan ung editor. Sino ba ang nagsimula? Sino ba ang nagsulat ng hindi tama? Sino ngayon ang my ebidensya? Sino ang nagmukhang tama?

Sa pagsusulat hindi dapat puro puso ang ginagamit. Oo. hanapbuhay ang pagsusulat. pero we should think also that we need to practice iyong RESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM.

Totoo. Tama. Sakto. Walang labis. Walang kulang. Lahat ay base sa totoong inpormasyon lamang.

need a rest..

i dont know if im just over fatigue (?) or just need a full rest. with what happened the past few days especially transferring from condo to apartment and getting all your stuff from your previous place to the new one is kinda exhausting. it is really.

from packing all of them inside the boxes and even in luggages, pulling it to the elevator, and then putting all of it in the car and then unload and get all of them again going to the third floor is really tiring. imagine doing all of these in four times to five times? going back and forth from the condo to the apartment.

and then from cleaning the house and putting your stuff into the right place is kinda weary. going to this supermarket to the another one and running to the last one. every place you go have these full plastic bags. so maybe it was really exhausting.

and last night, im not really feeling well that i just wanna rest and go home, take a bath and sleep under my comforter with the embrace of my pillows. :D

but after taking some rest last night, im still on the go. we re-arrange the stuffs in the maids slash storage room. we reassemble the cabinet from the condo to save space and also so that we can put something inside. and the stuff in the boxes they are transferred to the luggages to maximize space. its kinda okay for me that time eventhough i slept late last night because of those things that we did in the house.

and one good thing, my shoes are now in the rack! hahaha.. they are placed in six layers with 3 shoes per layer. :D ill post a picture once my camera is back to me. ;)

headache

having a bad headache this time.. it really hurts. i dont know why.. still puzzled what triggers it. or maybe the lack of 8 hours sleep last night and being so tired of doing so many things in the house especially cleaning and buying all those that i need.

i just need to rest. i know im suplado na when i have this kind of pain. im not in the mood to make kulit or the likes. it doesnt work. it just hurts.

david just wanna rest good in his bed... tonight..
