Destined to Die

yes. we all are.. At the right time and at the right moment, we will leave this place that has been our home when we journey our life.

its just a matter when and HOW we will leave this earth. i, myself dont know how i will end my journey in this earth. and am not looking forward in that very moment. i even not seeing myself getting old. but i have these dreams that i almost die. it just so happen that even in dreams i know how to PRAY. yes. im praying even in DREAMS. i just dont know how i do that, but seriously speaking, it is like REAL. totally real scenario of near death experiences.

last night was the latest. story goes like this:

i am inside a plane and after a long flight we have this stop over from this island (i relate this scene when i went back here in the country from US trip last june where we landed at Guam for a while). while we are parked at the island, i looked out on the window to check other planes that is on the airport. what i saw is that other people are free to roam around the airport while waiting for their flight while us on the other side are not allowed to leave the plane and check-out the place. then all of a sudden, we're going to leave the airport and the plane started to take off..

it was like in a snap of a finger we are taking off. some passengers are not yet on their seat nor even the seat belts are fastened. some passengers rolled over on the floor because the speed of the plane is unbelievably super fast. it was like the normal speed was tripled that time. i even remembered that my step brother was also inside the plane and he hit my foot because he was not on his seat. while i am asking and cant believe whats happening, when we reached the sky (maybe 35000 feet from the ground), the plane turned upside down and it circled 360 degrees! WTF i told myself. this isnt happening. and i just felt that the captain have no control anymore on the plane and we are hitting the ground any moment. and i just know in myself that we are all going to die in that situation. with super fast plane crashing down on the ground, its undeniably there will no survivor in that incident. what i did was PRAY. I prayed that my LORD save me from that experience. because i dont wanna die at that moment. after 5 seconds of closing my eyes and praying, i found myself in the island near the sea with half of the plane (the tail) on the island with other survivors and half of the plane sank in the sea (imagine the scene from LOST).

i dont know why i dream of these things, i even dream of demons with tails and horns. and sometimes im flying just to escape from them. but when im on this situation, i just dont forget how to PRAY even if sometimes its so hard to do and something or someone is preventing me from doing it. even saying one word from the prayers seems like hard to utter and to think. a powerful force is behind those. but i dont know who and im afraid to know and face it.

at least, even in dream I know HOW to PRAY. :D

Text Message Sent!

If things were'nt the way they should be, and your life is not on the right track, what will you do?

That is what happened to me last year, and with relation to what happened, I received different type of messages in my phone. Ranging from badmouthing to threatening, how will you react?

Read on:

“Edward, si tsong *** mo ito, ikaw ba wala na talagang galang kahit sa akin at kay tsang *** mo? Ano ba ung kay A, bkit di mo ibinigay ung pang enrollment ng kapatid mo? -----.. Matuto naman kayong lumingon sa taong nakatulong sa inyo. Huwag nyo ng hintayin pa na pasyalan kita sa opisina mo, makipagkita ka na kay tsang ***. Kilala mo ako Edward”
- From tito ( my tita’s husband)

“Kuya, ung pang tuition ko kailangan na bayaran bukas, exam ko na next week. Bakit di mo pa pinapadala. Nagtext na ko dati sabi ko 17 deadline.”
- from my brother c
[ when I sent a text message to him asking when is the deadline, he keeps ignoring me and this one pop in my head one morning ]

“Oi sabi ni ate kanya ka na daw ba kabastos na hindi ka marunong magpaalam and hindi ka daw marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan mo”
- from my brother b
[ when I get all my stuff in the house and not answering calls from any of them ]

“Edward, ganyan ka ba talaga kabastos at ni hindi ka marunong magpaalam sa akin. Grabe ka talaga, ngaun ako naniniwala bastos ka. Sabagay ano pa nga ba silbi ko kasi napatapos na kita. Sana lang maging maganda buhay mo. Ok lang di naman natutulog ang Diyos.”
- from cousin
[ when I get all my stuff in the house and not answering calls from any of them ]

“tumawag ka daw ngayon kla mommy, kakausapin ka, ngayon ka na daw tumawag hindi mamaya, pag di ka tumwag, pupuntahan ka daw jan sa opisina mo bukas.”
- from brother c
[ I was in the office doing my work when this message came in on my phone ]

“sana lang Edward maganda yang kahinatnan ng ginagawa mo sa akin. Sana maisip mo man lang sa sarili mo na hindi mararating yang kinalalagyan mo ngaun kundi sa tarantadong ate mo na nagpa aral sa iyo. Bakit di mo matulungan ang mga kapatid mo? Ganun ka na ba naimpluwensyahan ng mga kaibigan mong pinagmamalaki. Sana matulungan ka nga ng mga tao na yan”
- from cousin
[when I get all my stuff in the house and not answering calls from any of them ]

“kuya, penge naman ng 7500, para sa tour naming cebu-bohol.”
- from brother c

“tinatanong nila daddy kung kelan mo bibigay ung pambayad sa school? Magbabayad na ko next week dapat daw buoy ang pangtuition kung hindi lagot ka daw kina daddy. Pupunta sila jan sa company mo ***”
- from brother c
[Threatening again]

“ano ka ba Edward? Gusto mo bang pumunta ako sa opisina mo para bigyan mo ng pera si aj o magbibigay ka na lang? kung ayaw mo ng gulo itext mo na si brother c"
- from cousin
[ my brother is asking me some money again ]

“mag ingat ka ngayon. Tumawag si ***, darating daw ung asawa nya pati ung mga kapatid nya, pupuntahan ka daw jan sa opisina mo, papabugbog ka. Sabi ko huwag naman, kahit daw matanggal ka sa trabaho.”
- from tita
[ this is when i called my tita telling me to take care especially that there is a physical threat. This time my friends knew that if anything happen to me, they know whom to point fingers even the locations of the people involved ]

“3 pa, prelim midterms saka finals. Binigay mong una 8k lang.”
- from brother c
[ which is im asking why is 8k when in fact the amount that I deposited to the account was 10k, after asking my brother and telling him that it was 10k, after two days he is saying that its 10k now ]

“9100 nga lahat, dahil ung practicum pa. bakit kc di mo inintindi ung papel na binigay ko sa iyo.”
- from brother c
[ when I gave him the money for his tuition fee ]

“magreply ka sa akin kung ayaw mong tawagan kita jan sa opisina mo. Kelan mo ba bibigay ung pang tuition ni brother c? Bakit hindi pa bukas? Bakit Wednesday pa eh my sweldo ka na?”
- from cousin
[ telling them that I will give the money on this day because I was in Malaysia this time, taking some break from all what’s happening with me ]

“oo nga tanong kelan? Nung nasa amerika ka alam na alam mo na my bayarin ung kapatid mo after nung downpayment. Ang hirap sa iyo sarili mo lang iniisip mo. Laki na ng pinagbago mo”
- from cousin
[ im at Malaysia this time ]

“kuya, tinatanong na ni ate kung ibibigay mo daw bukas ung pera o hindi.. nagagalit na si ate”
- from brother c

“Edward pede pakidala mo na ang pera kc minumura na kami ni mommy at hiniram lang naming un. Ngaun mo dalin”
- from cousin

“Edward, si tsong *** mo ito. Bakit di mo ibigay ung 3k na binayad ko sa tuition ni brother c. Sinisingil ko na cya ngaun”
- from tito
[ right after I paid the remaining tuition fee of my brother, they are asking me for the one they paid. But my brother told me that he just asked a friend to lend him money to pay for his tuition since I will be late this time. Whos telling the truth? Don’t know. Tired of all the games they play. ]

These are the messages that affected me last year. But still continuing till this year even though I still pay the tuition of my brother. Sigh..

Educado

its our office blessing today. since this is a new site for the whole company, today is the day that they set to mark the new beginning of its new location. Office Blessing was done around 2 pm this afternoon.

The blessing proper was fine but the program proper was not. and DEFINITELY will NOT. Since we are still considered under their wing, we need to cooperate with the COMMERCIAL (call center) group. That is fine. And when the program proper started and all the invited guests were introduced especially those who came from our HQ in the US they have a seat allocated to them on the stage, unfortunately, the GENERAL MANAGER of Centers for Solutions Excellence (CSE) was not acknowledged by no less than Mr. Emcee. Only him was left sitting in the seat provided to all the guests in front of the stage before transferring to the stage when introduced.

All of us are asking, why is that? Harap harapang bastusan. Parang wala kang pinag aralan.

And that is not the end of the journey of our Mr. Emcee. When he introduced Sen Allan Peter Cayetano to the crowd, he said and i quote:

"He graduated from Ateneo Law School in 1997. But he also studied elementary and high school in La Salle. Maybe you have mixed emotions right now" - So what the heck is all about that? Telling us that you came from the same school in high school? Emphasizing the he also came from La Salle which is off topic from the introduction.

Next:

"And not all graduated in college with honors like "us"."

Grabe! Sa layo ko sa stage nya, ramdam ko ang kapal ng mukha nya.


Educado or mal educado? Asal ng isang professional na nilalang? Or insecure lang sa grupong kinabibilangan ko? (wahahaha)..

kawawa naman, insecure sa min. tsktsk.. buti nga hindi kami nagpacater ng food namin kasi baka maging issue pa sa inyo sabihin nyo di kami marunong makisama at ang arte namin. pero sa totoo lang, mas totoong tao ang mga nasa government solutions at walang ere. PROPESYONALISMO at hindi INSECURITY at pansariling interes lang ang iniisip.

tsktsk.. wawa naman.. hay..

but to no avail. for two days trying to connect using the phone is not working. i tried to uncheck and edit the settings but unfortunately nothing happened.

i already called globe thrice giving no help at all. i also went to the globe center to have my phone set up. but wala talga!!!!

what do i have to do? sigh..

Appreciated. wink wink..

been to Shang after a year

been to shangrila plaza again after more than a year, since im not living in Mandaluyong City for now.

anong reason why ako nandun? kasi my brother sent a message na need daw nya ng money for his project, so sabi ko cge. kaya ako nagpunta and napagkasunduang meeting place, but then 2:30 na wala pa cya, so i sent him a text message where he was and then nung nalaman ko na nasa house pa cya, sabi ko aalis na ko.. anong oras na.. hehehe.. sabi nya need daw nya ung pera kasi my babayaran cya then he told me to go to two different places, sabi ko hindi na.. aksaya na masyado sa oras.. sabi nya kita na lang daw kmi ng starmall, sabi ko aalis na ko.. consistent kapatid ko.. alis na daw cya, kita na kami.. hahaha...

eh dumaan ako ng globe, pinaayos ko pa ung phone ko so that i can use it as a modem. pero still not functioning properly when i tried it.

so nung nagkita kami ng kapatid ko, sabi ko kasi pumunta na alng cya ng globe hub, binigay ko ung pasalubong ko sa pamangkin ko na pooh na stuff toy then ung watch para dun sa kapatid ko... and then binigay ko na din ung pera nya..


then he asked me kung ieenroll ko daw cya next sem, sabi ko tignan ko.. kasi ung pinambayad ko na credit card sa tuition nya di ko pa bayad.. bwahhaha.. pero cyempre babayaran ko naman un, and last sem nya na bakit di pa nya tapusin di ba?

so after that, i went back home na. pero dumaan muna ko ng mercury and bumili na rin ng internet card kasi dial up lang kami d2 sa house.. ung phone ko naman di nga gumagana.. hahaha..

so un na muna sa ngaun.. need to post some entry pa.. :)

haircut

and as promised, here is my new hair..



medyo maaliwalas na ung hitsura ko.. hehehe. mahirap lang ayusin kapag umaga.. :D

SE W960

i wanted to have a new phone since last june of last year to replace my old p910i. its just that my beloved friends are saying some things and they are telling me not to buy a new phone since my phone is working perfectly fine. Fine. But this year, i really wanted to have a new phone, so for me not to feel deprived, after our lunch in gerry's last friday i went to Sony Ericsson shop and bought a new phone. wink wink.. and here what i got as a replacement for my p9.
