eek..uuuhhmm.. am i still welcome here? can't hardly believe it's been (and i really have to pause, look into my left hand and counted) seven months since my last post. waaahhh! shame on me. so it's true, i'm just really good at beginnings.

can't even believe i have not said anything about my friend's death. i sorely miss her but i knew she's in a far off better place with the Creator. i know she's happy and i hope i make her happy if i frequent here noh? i'm crossing my fingers on this.

oh this plain blah, blah.. can't come up with a at least thought-about account for the moment. i'm suppose to be in Dreamland by now, but just have to do quick peek on how you've been lately and it's pretty silent in here, creepy, cobwebs in the corners, bats, roaches and mice might be lurking somewhere.. ewe!!!

so long my friend. we'll visit you soon. and pray it be soonest. you know i'm pretty bad with promises and keeping with dates.. boo!

God bless the world and those who have joined Him in peace in heaven! Send my love to our bebe Tin, Lord! i love You!

bb vera turned seven months last 18, and weighed 7.6 lbs during her doctor's visit for the second dose of Hepatitis B vaccine. she smiles more often now, easy to make her smile rather but she's more moody as well when she's sleepy already. hmmph! nevertheless, we love her big!c;

hi! napapadalas yata ako dito ah. pursigido. haha..

anyways, yesterday i've realized that i just reached my sixth month as a working nurse with pay. haha. (mind you, wala akong ipon!boo!) in our workplace, especially in the nursing department, it has been a trend for newly hired nurses to resign on their sixth month. resigning did come into my mind during my early months of work but as time flies i thought i had nowhereelse to go. so i stayed. nevertheless, i need hospital experience. besides i'm enjoying the company of my co-workers. i just pray to God that He'd continue on guiding me in everything that i do.

guess what i found today? the HD music video of Patunayan by Silent Sanctuary! <3

last monday i just had the busiest day in my entire workdays, i bet! my second AM charge and on a Monday! we hadn't had lunch. visiting doctors coming all together, many orders to carry out, results to relay, a lot of procedures to do, plus the demanding watchers of the patients. the pressure was on!!! thank God i lived, we lived through that day.

it was like i was working 12 hours and without getting paid for the extra hours you stayed. boo! i couldn't care much of the pay right now as long as i was able to carry out orders right and having done no harm to patients under our care but we're harming ourselves instead. missing meals might be a predisposing factor for some illness later on if this kind of duty goes on and on.. Oh God please, i pray for strenght that would equal our tasks and please a busy-free day at least? Love you Lord! Kumbaya!!!

hey, i really didn't look like one above after that day. placed it just to exagerate the whole thing.hahaha..

haler!!!

"Love is inconvenient, but it’s an inconvenience I would rather live with than without."

i believe many would agree on this though it may not apply to me in a romantic viewpoint as of the moment. whatever. i'm dreamer and a believer. i hope and i'll pray he would come, God willingly so.

two hours to go duty ko na. and if i don't get myself out of here, for sure i'll be fidgeting inside the jeepney saying things in mind like 'pwede paki bilisaaan manoong!' haha.. tapos kukulitin ako ng pagkakataon. tutubil si manong. hihinto syempre kami. aalburuto na naman ako! hayz.. buhay...

Hindi ba tayo magbabago
Napagod na sa pakikibaka
Ba’t di kaya tayo magkasundo-sundo
Dumagak ang mga luha
Nilipas na ang panahon
Sugat na tila’y walang hapdi

Chorus:

Nasan ka man ngayon
Sana’y mabuti ka
Magkaibang mundo
Sana’y maisip mo
Ako…
Ako…

Tuloy ang awit sa ilalim ng tala
Unti-unting maaabot
Pagsapit ng dilim aking hiling
Kung di man masilayan
Tamis ng kahapon
Sumpa ko na aking itatanim

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

Walang balakid
Walang makakapigil
Ang iyong pangalan
Sigaw ng damdamin
Hindi alam kung saan tutungo
Kung wala ka

P-noy's first SONA (state of the nation address) at 36 minutes? in comparison to the SONA's of the previous presidents, his was brief and understandable by many since he delivered it in a our language--Filipino. i couldn't care less about the content but critics say it was straightforward yet lacked the inspiration for the roughroad ahead. let us all just work and pray for a better philippines.

so timely, tomorrow's my first day of work with pay. finally! this could be a brand new start. so help me God. God bless us all, indeed!c;

super random

2010-04-02T09:32:00.000-07:00

I know it's been a while since my last post. so i'm just gonna do flooding? naah. that's bad. here's a few random things i've been thinking lately or i recently came across upon with in the web. hehe..enjoy!;p

1. here's a jason magbanua work for you guyz. truly each piece is one of a kind and this one's just a part of my favorite list. it's actually quite different from his usual SDEs. you don't get to hear a full song here because it's DJ-ish. you know the thing they do --- scratching and repetition. LOVE. the must see actually is the "i do's" part. the mother of the bride gets to say the "i do" first even before her daughter does. WATCH NOW.

Charmaine and John: SDE (the hyper-pastor Remix) from Jason Magbanua on Vimeo.

2.

i was going around blogs months ago and landed on cycle chic which made me wanting of having my own bicycle. shame on me, i really can't make good turns with bicycles. i could only do straight driving. yeah, i know. i'm such a loser. ;c
anyhow, the one above is Velorbis Scrap Deluxe for Ladies and has landed a spot at Top 10 list of Gorgeous Bicycles for Stylish Ladies. follow this link to see the rest of the list. c;

3. last for this post is...

yes. it's a garden. when time comes our house is fixed, i want to do a major makeover of our little frontyard. it's all we've got. gardens add a little oomph in a house. and i want one for our lot. this one's a fast find. it's not actually what i wanted so i'm gonna go around some more for better pictures and ideas for our little garden some other time.

can i just add one more?
4. taddah!

isn't that bag adorable? can i have this please... c; i can't find a decent pic for this bag but it is still lovely even zoomed out. ha!

+++

i know it's holy week and i'm suppposed to be contemplating on some serious stuffs. am really praying i'll find the oomph to do chores tomorrow big time! especially my ROOM! goodness!

Train - Hey, Soul Sister (ACOUSTIC LIVE!)

2010-03-12T10:22:00.001-08:00

This cute song was used as a soundtrack of a wedding event SDE by no less than, Jason Magbanua. How i just love his videos and the songs that go along on each of it.

hayz... to my future hubby, can we afford Jason Magbanua?HAHA

we can help

2010-02-13T07:37:00.000-08:00

awe-spiring!!! my, if you could buy, please do buy this song in itunes now. Or, donate through text. See end of the video. Or we could simply PRAY. It's the least yet the best I could do as of the moment. Kudos to the artists and producers who made MJ's We Are The World Remake into, surely, one big hit! love. love. love. it's valentines day the following day so show some love. buy. donate. pray.c;

have a great valentines day ahead guyz!MWAH!C;

2010-01-30T08:01:00.000-08:00

hiiyaah! oh it's been a while.. we're nearing february and i haven't posted something of worthy note at least to myself. haha.. and the same things have been bugging me since the last year (really feels weird to say the last two words because, hello, it's just like a month ago?haha) so i've finally decided to make an effort to publish my weeks-old post that i kept in my phone. perhaps, february is definitely my new january! So help me God!!!

BEEP

Have you ever in your life felt being stranded? It's when you feel like the world is turning and yet you're not moving forward. Like you're everyday living has become more or less a routine. It's the feeling that life gets you instead of you leading your life.

Lucky me in my 21st year alive, this time I have realized that I felt waking up, preaparing for work and then working was all that I was doing.Parang bummer na 'oo nga, I have work, so what?' 'Yong tipong pa-feel good lang (at least I have a work for now and after that what would become of me?gee..). If my mother had never been so persistent on asking me about my future plans, this 'pa-feel good' feeling wouldn't have dawned me. Basically, because I know for a fact that if I don't move a single muscle on this realization now, I wouldn't go places. No growth. No development. Stranded.

So for a start, since we just turned a calendar year,just to catch up, I'm setting up my own resolutions which hopefully I'd be able to pursue and yes I'm subjecting myself to a monitoring --- self-monitoring. Therefore, this has to be put into writing and perhaps I might ask some reliable persons, e.g. a family member or a close friend maybe to help me make these resolutions (yes, there's plenty of them!;p) into a success. To make these resolutions more feasible, it has to be clear, simple, direct, and positive.

Here it goes:

1. To sleep early; on bed by 11:00 PM, maximum allowance 12:00 MN.
2. Since I'm off to bed early, I should rise early too! Up by 5:00 AM, maximum allowance is til 5:30 AM.
3. No net surfing beyond 11:00 PM since this is one of the reasons why I stay up late at night.
4. To exercise for an hour daily! 30 minutes in the morning and the other half in the evening. (This has to be number 1 because I really want to lose weight. I want to be on the near normal of my BMI rather than verging on the largely normal scale.)
5. Accordingly, to have proper diet. Cut on carbs, fatty and junk foods.
6. To read the Bible daily and heartily (at least 2 minutes land daw sabi ni Father Leo will do.)
7. Hear mass weekly.
8. Pray frequently and do the rosary every week the least.
9. To read more books, three books at least in a month.
10. Take care of tootsie (to be introduced on my coming posts, hopefully) 24/7.

To be able to monitor thy resolutions, I have to do each of it for straight 21 days. According to a post from Mr. Jim Paredes' blog, in order for your resolution to be called a success, one has to complete the 21 days (no idea why 21, I think I have to reread that post.) straight. If you have lapses, you are to start from day 1 again until such time you reach your 21st. Whew!

SO HELP ME GOD!c;

*yikes!i'm like up up down down usually..up when i feel like posting and down when i just don't even come and visit this blog of mine..loser!anyways, here's my post after 48 light years..lol!;p

---
maybe i was just in denial at first upon hearing and seeing these two cuties on tv singing country music in a very melodic rhythm, thinking that they are just another wanna-bes, the Philippines' version of M2M trying to make it big out there. and i really thought that they are Filipinos who hail in US but then their video was shot in Subic. naman! but then i read a feature of them on a post by the Definitely Filipino Account on FB telling everybody to check out their channel on Youtube before they finally make it BIG. and for the remaining minutes, i just kept on listening to their covers and this one below i've attached is just uber cool and cute!they really got the talents. they just have to come up with nice originals to make it stay in the business...c;

btw, i just subscribed on their channel, favorited a vid and commente. makings of a fan? maybe i am now..haha..

check them out now! wag na pahuli!c;

here's my current favorite video though this has been on youtube for two years already. i just love the lyrics and the melody. i even thought of it having it sang in my wedding! lol! and that's no way near in the coming future..c;

and to add some spice, the singer Gabe Bondoc is a Filipino. whooowhoo! mabuhay ka dude!

enjoy!

btw, floyd "pretty boy" mayweather did it again! beat marquez in a unanimous decision. so obvious! haha..

Noynoy runs for president in the 2010 elections

2009-09-09T08:36:00.000-07:00

A month ago, me and three of my batch mates in college had an exchange of opinions on who's apt for president this coming 2010 elections, the names of Villar, Binay, Aquino, and Roxas came up. In that kuro-kuro, I was doubtful of Sen. Noy Aquino just for the reason na hindi ko siya feel (anong klaseng rason naman yun?ano?) at hindi pa napapanahon sa tingin ko but then today (which happens to be the 40th day of the late Cory Aquino and Sen. Aquino's formal declaration for presidency), I chance upon reading Philippine Daily Inquirer Opinion page, particularly Conrado de Quiros' column entitled "Yes, he can". And what an enlightenment! The writeup says it all! No doubt, my vote goes to Noynoy Aquino!!!

For all of you who's not for Noy, though the whole point is actually convincing us all that he is the one (for president), the author was able to establish a good argument on what kind of leader should we put into office and how we, people should regard this whole election and how we're suppose to act 'democratically' in this country. This article is really a wake-up call! So go and read on... Please!c;

---
So, I finally got myself going to the Comelec's office today for transfer of precinct. I registered myself in Iligan City where I stayed for four academic years for my college because I thought, the certificate would be needed in the filing for the licensure exam but later on I found out it was not. So what a waste?! Reading the claim slip I've kept with me since March this year, I'm not an official registered voter pa pala and the kind lady in the Comelec's office told me that they'll have my registration in Iligan cancelled na lang daw so I still filled up a Transfer Form. Unfortunately, their camera is being repaired in Manila for a week now therefore I'm not a registered voter yet. hayz... I thought this would be a leap for me.

when it's brown out

2009-09-03T09:06:00.000-07:00

woke up with the electric fan on and the laptop still plugged in. when i finally got off my bed, everything with electricity started to go on and off like the wireless phone and the tv. later on, the current's all out. brown out. the water system even threatened me, gratefully i had enough to use for bathing.

when it's brown out, it's serene. no tv, no radio, the buzz of the electric fan and the like. so for those hours without electricity, i only get to hear my neighbors' voices since we live so close by; the usual noise of the small and big vehicles passing by in front of us, only clearer this time. i could hear my feet thumping as i walk up and down the stairs. and it was easy for me to hear strangers calling out from our gates except of course when i was in a deep sleep earlier this day, missed the billing man for that.haha!

so what do you do in times like this? to avoid being scolded again by the time my parents get back home, i did put the clothes to where they're placed and to whom it was and put the used clothes on the hamper, arranged some stuffs in mother's aged vanity mirror and threw the used cottons on the trash can. and i even fixed my room a bit to be a little organized and neat (which i do rarely, hardly. forget that i'm a nurse. haha). such pretty little stuffs actually to do. anyhow, since there's no internet connection for me to go online and bury myself listening or watching in youtube or bloghopping or facebooking and the like, amazingly, i finally get myself into reading. and it's in english this time.haha! let's see if i could finish this one sooner or maybe ages especially now that the electricity is back.whoohoo!

btw, i cooked dinner!hurrah! easy dish, at least i was being useful at home..;p

i heart them!c;

2009-08-19T23:19:00.000-07:00

it would be nice to have 'em all in my closet..which is too far from reality..aguy...hayz.. naman!

pang-ema na opm songs

2009-08-19T19:50:00.000-07:00

Ema as in emote.. Haha..

Been hearing these sad OPM songs lately..
If you want some mellow dramatic feel or if you're feeling senti-sentihan, tune in to the songs of:

1.) Mayonaise- TORRES
"di na tayo tulad ng dati..."
-nakaka-LSS! The music video explains the most. Ewan ko lang ha, di ko rin napakinggang mabuti yong lyrics..hehe.. Pero sa linyang 'to tama ako! 'Yan lang mapaghuhugutan na ng emosyon.aw...haha!

2.) Soapdish- ADJUST
"Sa pag-alis mo lang ito nadama
Na mahal na mahal pala kita
Sa pag-alis mo lang sinta"
-oh di bah?itong mga linyang to pa lang, mapapa-ema ka na!c;
Maganda rin 'yong MV nito. Literally nawala 'yong girl, like in one snap of the magician, poof, nawala siya.. Tama ba ko? Gan'to ba talaga nangyari sa MV? Basta may magic2x..;p

3.) Silent Sanctuary- HILING
"At ihiling sa mga bituin
Na minsan pa sana ako'y iyong mahalin
Ihiling kahit dumilim
Ang aking daan na tatahakin
Patungo sa iyo.."
-Lungkot noh? With these lyrics plus the orchestra-like feel ng mga instruments, ay naman, mapapaema ka talaga (Pasensya na fave ko kasi ang bandang to.)!
Among the three songs, ito 'yong kanta na kung saan ang title ng kanta ay makikita mo sa lyrics ng kanta, gets mo? Sa dalawang nauna kasi, wala sila sa lyrics.. Para kumbaga bubuhayin yong curiosity mo (til now di ko pa rin gets ang Torres, kaw alam mo?).

So far, ito 'yong mga feel kong songs na pang-ema. May english din naman na opm by bamboo. Ganda rin 'non!

Go check 'em out sa Myx and MTV phil!
Now na!!!!;p

hey! AKO MISMO!

dilemma

2009-07-02T15:46:00.001-07:00

to move or just do nothing?

I'm such a problem!tsk!

what i've been up to for the last two days

2009-04-05T08:00:00.000-07:00

firstly, i just graduated from college!just so you know...;)

just been staying home for the past two days really. but i love it! why?because i get to eat three times a day, i'm with my folks, unlimited internet connection and cable tv!woohoo! these i missed a lot so i'm embracing it because for the next five days i'm off to iligan again for our review.geez...

so for the past two days i've been...

watching tv mostly catching on myx and mtv where i get to listen top hits of today and i'm liking james morrison more with his top 2 song 'broken strings', a duet with nelly furtado, on mtv's top ten today (i think). love his voice, their blending, the rhythm and the lyrics is hurting but i guess it's better that way than faking it, making it more painful (i dont know if i'm getting the lyrics right.let me interpret a picture and i'll do just fine not with songs, phrases especially foreign and deep..haha..;p). actually, i came across him through Kyle XY series. his song 'you make it real for me' was used as an episode score. nice song. the series do really have nice tracks. i must go check out the scorer so i could also check what he's worked on. for sure it also have some good tracks. here's a single of morrison i liked as well that i'm sure i've heard somewhere.

so through Morrison, i got to know girls aloud in which they sang the song 'Broken Strings' together. i like the bob of nicola roberts (pic below). it's short and looks good with volume. great for summer. i'm thinking of cutting my hair just before leaving that's why.
been uploading pics of recent events at my multiply account (adik7ea.multiply.com)only since friendster isn't doing good for me and no facebook pics because it just going to be redundant and a hassle for me.;p

checking on my fave bloggers ala paredes, bianca gonzales, and patty laurel. yeah, they're all candy's judge bloggers. it's where i met ala and patty. i so love ala!she's one talented, smart and a chic young being. promising!so is ms B. patty happens to be my ultimate crush's lucky girlfriend so i get to read updates of crush as well.haha..;p.. through them i get to expand my blog radar. i just checked on other bloggers jane aldridge and rosanna aranaz whom featured by bianca in her recent account. for a clue they're one cool fashionistas! and i'm not.haha!

obviously, i'm getting myself fat here, lazying around.

oh it's holy week!better be behaving well..

here's a pic of me at my graduation:

I just don’t feel like it

2009-03-19T10:22:00.000-07:00

so it wasn't a good day nor bad. i just don't feel like it.

woke up by my alarm at 5:30am to do edit my PRC and to my dismay the laptop is nowhere to be found. so i went back to bed and was able to sleep back then i woke up by somewhere 7am. gone to the manghuds room and found my lappy there.gosh!if i had known. so i took the lappy and did the editing.

got a text from hannan, asking for the time we'll be meeting that day for our PRC. i replied 9am but i was got hook with the turtlish-run of internet since it's for free. Finally I set forth past 10am already and i have printed the wrong file. tsk. sayang ang P4.00.

when i got in the hospital, the people whom i'm about to meet there where just arriving then. it was fine with me.we passed our lacking datas but unfortunately we'll have the results the following day so we're delayed again.

i wouldn't have gone there this am if and only if i kept my head intact. out of carelessness, of the most important thing, i've disrecarded the paper which contained the case number of the case to be swapped. Darn! Just found it yesterday. in addition, someone blame me on it but who else to blame to? only me, right? just hate it that she have said that to me. it was ok to me, i understand she was having a bad moment right there and then.

in the afternoon, we waited for awhile in the EC to open so we could pay for our fines and assessment fee for our college. i was second in line, things went on smoothly and i need not to wait because i was second in line. we headed then to the dean, and again to my dismay, i cant have my clearance signed since my cashier is not yet done. so we hiked to the admin for my cashier clearance. unfortunately, the server got offline and the assignee was not sure when it will be back. i climbed upstairs and waited for several minutes but when i came back, it's still offline. luck wasn't just with me that day.

so i finally, retreated to our floor (since it's not our department building), top floor of four levels (yeah, i know it's not that tall but still it's tiring. darn again) alone. my two other friends have gone home already since they can't move on as well. and i could hardly smile then. went back to nursing room 8 to edit my PRC since a good friend of mine texted me that our files are saved on one of the PCs there. thankfully, i was next in line. i didn't have to wait that long. i visited the office to have my clearance signed for my total accounts. i'm cleared already so i had mine signed. at least i now have an initial signature in my clearance. and i still can't move on coz i do still need another initial from a CI for my complete PRC. given the fact that i do still have lacking data, i really cant move on.

i met my good friend there and it's her birthday! yeah, but i could hardly gave a cheerful greeting. for me, it's somehow fleeting. when she was done with the initials for her PRC form since hers is complete already, she came up to me and asked about what i was rambling about on my slow progress with the clearance. "Unsay walay kalambuan, na nag-una-una gani ka," she asked. Ding! the second phrase irked me but i didn't show that i was irritated with her remark and i showed her my clean and un-signed clearance. i bet she got the idea. i wasn't very indulging. i just answer what she asks. i wasn't in the mood then especially with that remark. darn 3! i wanted to go home then but then she showed our correctioned thesis paper so i stayed and listen. Civil. i excused myself to my other good friend and told him earlier that i'm leaving early and excused that i was tired already. trying to be good, i waited for my good friend with the remarks, even though i have known already that it's online again. we went down the building together with our another friend. as bad as it is for me, the cashier's closed already. another downer!

she and another friend have gone to the city and i didnt go with her. i had no intentions then. she's to hear mass since it's birthday but i just contain my feel-bad mood that moment and just let her go like any ordinary days when i feel like not going with her. we separated that way.

maybe i was really tired then, i slept for hours the moment i got into our boarding house.

Thinking back, i really felt bad about what i did, of not being the friend that was expected of me today. as bad as it can be, i wasn't having a good day at all. with her remark, she must be at least thankful i remained composed in credits to her natal data just so sad, i did not celebrate it with her but i believe she had her own plans.

i just hate the thought that i'm behind this whole clearance thing due to my carelessness. yes, it's given that i'm delayed and why i do i still have to receive irky remarks? maybe to her it was nothing but to me it meant something and she must not have noticed it. she's getting used to doing it and i'm just tolerating it. darn! at least she would realize it herself, that even i amidst situations like this i hardly bragged being left behind or having to do things by myself. for one instance, it happened just the other day actually. when she asked about validating our ids, i said i was done with mine already, and she asked our other friend, same friend who have gone with her in the city today, she as well have had her id validated. "Ah kalain ui," she voiced out. Ding! she's being her again so i explained myself, told her that i was done with it earlier because i had to submit myself for the voting registration which happened last week. you know, i'm just tired of having to explain myself for going ahead of her at times like that. Realizing it now, I do need to explain for that matter because we plan to do it together. For this, i'm sorry.

Day after that, I got an indirect explanation from her when we were talking about lunch. She was saying sorry that she can’t come with me for lunch coz she’ll be going home. I told her no problem with me. Finishing the line for me, “What’s new? You’re used to it and I’m not.” She finds eating alone outside scary because she’s afraid that a stranger might come to her and share with the table. That explains it all. Sometimes I feel the way she feels but I have to get pass it. I might starve myself if I keep on thinking that way. That’s my point here; I want her to learn going out and having to do things just by herself. And for some reasons, I’m really the type of person who doesn't brag persons around to do for me. And if I have to, it must be very important that I can’t really excuse myself to do it.

…

Hope she’s happee with her birthday even without me.

Haayz… tomorrow’s another day I just hope I could live with this quote below.
“When faced with what seems to be a negative situation, adjust your perspective and choose to see it positively.”

God I Love You!;)

Bad and Good News

2008-12-28T10:21:00.000-08:00

which one would go first?

hmm...

ok, i'll start off with the bad one then the good one next so the positivity is still there.

here they are!

upon visiting one of my fave bloggers ms. ala paredes, one of her accounts for the day talks about two politicians (Nasser Pangandamanan, Jr., city mayor of Masiu City in Lanao del Sur and Secretary Nasser Pangandaman of DAR) involved in beating up a 56-year-old father and a 14-year-old son for going against them after the politicians company overtook the already-taken flight by the father-and-son golfers happening just a day after Christmas of 2008 at Valley Golf and Country Club, Antipolo City.

the said beaten up company was actually with his daughter who accounted the whole incident in her blog. thank God they spared the daughter! My! the whole story was just so revolting which prompted me to write this (and if by chance read by others in this network). those politicians just can't do that but as terrible as it is, it's actually happening! tsk big time!

the family is actually asking for help in nailing these politicians to jail. i just really hope and pray that justice is served to them in the soonest of time!

on the brighter side, here's the good news:

Sandiganbayan: Caraga, WVisayas have fewest gov’t scalawags; NCR has most

isn't it a WOW?!i'm really surprised and glad to have read these headline in the GMANews.TV. well, if not so everybody knows, i come from Butuan which is one of the cities in Agusan del Norte which is also one of the four provinces comprising CARAGA region or Region 13, blah, blah, blah and blah...it's a bit comforting to hear something like that about our region but for NCR, it felt like nada. it wasn't a surprise at all. Oh! it must be discomforting and saddening for the folks in there.tsk!

i know for one that corruption has become generic in this country that includes this region of ours and my very own home-grown city but a filed cases of 41 for over 29 years compared to the 6,841 of NCR, that's a big difference if you look at the numbers, right?! though there are other matters of which such regions to compare with (whom i personally know and expect the total opposite results), this time it's ours to WOW for.

for the years i lived in butuan since i'm politically sensible, i had my own ranting moments about corrupt leaders in our city, of how political dynasty is so rampant in this part of the country, of how slow progsession is in terms of road and bridge development and other infrastructures such towering buildings like in Makati (ambisyosa!) ang big malls in Manila. there's actually more of this but for the past five years i think, the roads to provinces especially the way to surigao del sur has improved a lot making our ride pretty smooth during the halloween and holiday seasons, a new bridge was built in Butuan (the Diosdado Macapagal Brigde) which actually be of good use i believe in the long run, and lots of households in the said city, ours for one, are now enjoying if not so maybe comforted by the now-working water system and two municipalities (Cabadbaran and Bayugan) are now cities adding to the roster of cities of Caraga region. in terms of malls, we do actually have one which has been operating since i was still in my high school years.

when i told my mom about this news, she wasn't surprised and then explained that it's all because business are being monopolized here. this i forgot. it's the reason why we have so few industrial companies (i'm not sure if we do actually have one.waah.joke!) and big malls. anyhow, us folks here our pretty accustomed to this and been living pretty fine as well within our seams. i just hope, our region would be able to maintain this low corrupt rate if not diminished.;)

from all of these, there still hope for future development for the rest of us. we just have to believe and work for it!

to God be the Glory! God bless the afflicted and the weak.

You are under considerable stress and you are almost about to ‘blow your top’ but you are fortunate enough to be able to exert control. Control is the name of the game and it is so good to realise that whatever the situation may be a this time - it will pass. You need to get away from everything for a while and if you do, you will find that, strangely enough, it will seem that most of your problems and situations will seem to wash away, just as the sea may wash away ‘footprints’ in the sand.

You are a true extrovert, frivolous and outgoing. You need to feel in control of any situation. If matters are not proceeding according to plan you tend to get extremely irritable and perhaps become difficult to live with.

Being emotionally inhibited you have no alternative at this time but to be a ‘watcher’ rather than a ‘doer’. At this time you feel as if you are being forced to compromise and stand back. But this is not the true you. Deep down there is that warm ‘open’ you which is awaiting the moment to burst forth - maybe like the chrysalis which will soon become the butterfly.

You are on tenterhooks and appear to be extremely nervous and upset. You are bored and you feel that life has far more to offer than this present day mundane existence. The way that you feel indicates that you have the need for a responsive and understanding relationship. You are prepared to follow up any opportunity which may present itself. However you are very choosy and you refuse to be swept off your feet unless integrity can proved to be 100% genuine. Therefore you are holding back, keeping your emotions in check because before you let down your guard you have to be sure. You are too trusting and you have no desire to be hurt again. You are responsive to conditions around you - but forever under control.

There is an inherent fear that you may be prevented from achieving the things you want. This activates your subconscious desire for peace of mind and mental security. It is increasingly obvious to you that the environment that you are in is not conducive to your well-being and so you are seeking fresh fields - somewhere free of conflict where you can RELAX and THINK.

happee!!!!!

HS crush viewed me today!!!naman! It would have been better if he added me on his list of friends or left a comment or message rather..hayz...

He's the one with the star!

and he's taken..ouch...:c

Anyhow, i'm productive this morning..Been able to wash my bags and shoes..yay!!!!

Grocery time!buhbye!;)

history of CARAGA

2008-10-27T18:51:00.000-07:00

In the middle of my net surfing for our proposal, I bumped into our region’s site and found this article below.

Tuesday, 17 July 2007

HISTORY OF CARAGA

Many people wonder, “What does Caraga stand for?” or “What does it mean” It is the country’s newest region! Its history can be traced back to the 15th century when “Kalagans” were discovered by explorers. The Kalagans were believed to be of Visayan origin, in one of the three districts of Mindanao. The name was derived from two Visayan words: “kalag” for soul or people, and “An” for land. These people were believed to be brave and fearless, that early {croniclers called the region the “Land of the Brave and Fierce People” Kalagans were later called by the Spaniards as “ Caragans”, from which the word Caraga derived. They occupied the district composed of the provinces of Surigao, Northern part of Davao Oriental and the Eastern Misamis Oriental. The two Agusan provinces were then organized under the administrative jurisdiction of Surigao. Agusan became independent as a province in 1914. In 1960, Surigao was divided into Norte and Sur, and in June 1967, Agusan followed suit. Butuan then was a town of Agusan and it was only in 1950, by virtue of Republic Act 523, that the City Charter of Butuan was approved. On February 23, 1995, His excellency Fidel V. Ramos approved Republic Act 7901 creating Region 13, the Caraga Administrative Region.
It is composed of four provinces, three cities, seventy municipalities and 1,306 barangays. Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Norte and the cities of Butuan and Surigao were once part of Region X, Northern Mindanao, while Surigao del Sur and Bislig City was part of Region XI.
The Regional Field Health Office of Caraga was organized in July 5, 1995 pursuant to R.A. 7901 of February 23, 1995
Last Updated ( Tuesday, 24 July 2007 )

What a concise history of my dear region XIII, CARAGA region. Reminded me of my homework during my first year at ANHS during our Philippine History subject. For us to know kuno of what CARAGA stands for and not be ignorant of our region. We were even asked to draw the whole region marking the significant places such as the cities and municipalities, then a separate one for the Agusan del Norte alone because it is where we’re we belong. That day was Adlaw Hong Butuan! Classes were cancelled so happy were we then.

As far as I could remember, if my memory serves me right, the history and the drawing are separate assignments. The former was in our Science class then the latter was in our History class. I’m really confused. Any classmate around and help me remember it? Anyone from section I-Aristotle here?

Anyhow, indeed the assignment was collected the following day. Oh, yes classes were resumed and we even had oral recitation about it to check if we really read our homework. My drawing was fine, a clean one, though it was a pale output because I only used pencil and no color whatsoever because I’m no good when it comes to stuffs like that. The drawing itself was hard already. Pinaghirapan ko ‘yun.

A year or two before here in Iligan, Marion a classmate of mine, out of nowhere, raised the question in the above article perhaps thinking, just like so many others think especially those not coming from ours, that it’s just an acronym the same with NCR and CAR regions. Remembering that homework enabled me to answer and correct him right there and then. Thanks to our teachers for that assignment! It would have been a shame if I haven’t known. With that knowledge, Marion would sometimes tag me as the “isog na CARAGAnon.” And I would say, “Oh, yeah, so don’t dare go against me.” Haha…

Same goes to all of you out there! ;p Bitaw, peace y’all!

Let me know yours’. Malay natin mas kahadlukan pa mo kaysa sa amoa. ;)

Moving. Inspiring. Informative. These are just a few words to describe this documentary film.

Going back, when we were told to attend a film showing on autism on a Saturday night of October 4 night I asked why that topic when it’s not related to any of our topics this sem. So for the sake of the incentives, we seniors lined up and suited ourselves unto seats available inside the COE amphitheater together with the sophomores from our department. Then we waited and waited. Finally, came in the film showers and the film maker herself, Ms. Mirana Medina! It was a leap which lift up a bit of our spirits and I thought that it was really something because the film maker herself graced the show and even entertained us and provided us a few details of her film while their putting up and fixing stuffs for the show.

She was once asked if Alyana is real. She said yes and that Alyana is her niece, the only one in the family with autism. In search for answers and understanding, bear fruit Alyana.

Lights off. Show reeling in five. Four. Three. Two. One…

The child in a glass ball.
A child of silience.
An empty fortress.
A child in a dream world.

The autistic child.

What a beautiful introductory poem by the film maker herself. I like it so much, so much that I hurriedly key it into my phone and saved it! As I was in awe of the film maker’s way of writing, slowly the admiration to the script in between the gaps has shifted to the unfolding of autism.

They gave definitions of autisms which in the simplest of it, it is a disorder where the person has a world of his own and that they say it is a disorder that chooses no one and strikes anyone. They also provided possible causes of it. Unfortunately, it has no known cause up to these times but there’s one which could be attributed to or a resulting cause of autism which is tuberous sclerosis, a nuerocutaneous problem, as it was mentioned in the film. One thing I remembered was the use of the term “atypical” in relation to the disorder when the physician was breaking the news to Mrs. Macapagal during the check up of her son in consultation for the odd actions displayed by his son together with the delay of his learning or growth. The term sounded less harsh yet comprehensible.

Echolalic behavior, lack of eye contact, inability to point to objects being pertained, repetitive body movements, sustained odd play, lack of pretend play, no fear of danger, indifference, throwing tantrums for no reason, inappropriate laughing or giggling and resistance to change. These are the different symptoms displayed by the atypcals Alyana, Gio, Andrei and other atyppicals which are explained by experts interviewed in the film and no less than the patient, loving mothers whose children have the disorder as well. Such are the likes of Mrs. Koe, whose concern doesn’t only cover her own son’s welfare but for the rest of the atypical child in the country. She is the president of Autism Society which is now spreading awareness across the nation regarding the said disorder through this film with the theme as their flagship which I believe is this: With learning comes deeper understanding.

So much has been tackled in the film like the related disorders or syndrome of Autism with examples such as Mr. Admirable (forgot his name but he really is admirable) with an Asperger syndrome. Part of it also, which is a breakthrough, was the passing of an executive order I think with regards to autism in the country, providing programs or institutions specific for them and the like disorders (e.g. Mental retardation). Programs and institutions that foster and teach them were also shown together with the problems encountered and the joy they’ve come to nourish even with the simplest learning or achievement a child or the group makes. I even caught myself watching with tears in my eyes not just for the atypical ones but more to the family, to the mothers who are primarily affected, for the patience, strength, courage, faith, hope and most especially the love they give them. I don’t know if I could equal what they have done if I am to have one autistic child.

It was also an enlightening when they’ve covered as well the myths that go with the disorder like the belief that there’s cure of it which is none, while others e.g. parents put the blame on their selves thinking that it’s because of their genes and the like which is unanswerable up to now, and thinking like it’s a bad karma to them or that their child is a child of evil which is only mental and again nothing to attribute to. This somehow opened up not only the minds of those in the family with an atypical but to all of us people being part of this society, for us to understand them and make things easy for them.

Lastly, for the management, they’ve shown there that there are actually institutions for the atypical and therapies provided for them e.g. art and music focusing on learning first the skills before scholastics so that these skills would come as a habit to them making them less dependent to others. They’ve also emphasized strong participation of parents with the child’s therapy thereby promoting bonding and understanding and appreciation to the child’s development. It’s good to know that those with minor autism could actually attend to the usual classes and see them participating and enjoying school.

I didn’t quite remember how the film ended, but I’m sure that I’ve wiped my tears right in time the lights were up. The showing up of the president Mrs. Koe, heightened so many of us that it felt like seeing a celebrity in personal. Well in truth, she was actually in the film.

I think the film entails not only to aware but also calls for support as in funding for in every 100 children around the globe one is atypical. And for a country with a population of more or less 80 M, do the math and the result is they wouldn’t just fit for a barangay but could even pass for a city! Given the fact that many is under the poverty threshold; just imagine the unimaginable for those kids and I don’t think you could sulk into it. Well, lucky are the ones like Alyana, Gio and Andrei whose family could afford to send them to therapies or to specific institutions.

It was a night of wonder and missing my bestfriend’s birthday party that night somehow made me feel less guilty.

So let me just sum it up with a little logic below:
AWARENESS EQUATES LEARNING.
LEARNING EQUATES UNDERSTANDING.
AND UNDERSTANDING EQUATES ACCEPTANCE.
THEREFORE, AWARENESS IS TO ACCEPT.

i just thought of posting something for my fave junk and it's no less than CHIPPY. i'm not really a junkie person but if i were to buy some, chippy's on top of it, then next the chippy green(vinegar flavor) and blue(cheese). so chippy nga lahat. i love the Barbecue flavor next to the vinegar flavor. whenever i buy one, i refer to them by their colors, everyonelse does coz it's the easier way, right? if you haven't notice, every package comes with their marketing ad at the back of it together with the nutritional facts. it's been a habit of mine reading 'em while savoring a pack. here within the ad for the red flavor. read it and you'll go haha in the end. bow to my fave chippy!weee...i maybe get extra credits for doing this. hello to the jack 'n jill company!!;)

"Guess there’s just no explaining the craving for Chippy barbecue from Jack ‘n Jill. It could be the original crunch that makes it everybody’s favorite. Or it could be the taste of barbecue so rich, would you imagine we’ve given you even more? Maybe it’s the crunch and the flavor. Or the flavor and the crunch? But who cares?! Everybody just knows that when it comes to snacks, your instincts always cry out… Love ko talaga Chippy!"

oh yeah, i think i'm hearing someone screaming "chippy love ko!." Oh it's me!;p

GLOBE moments

2008-09-01T23:11:00.000-07:00

Last august 23 I got a message from my phone network. And it says:
“Congratulations! We have rewarded you with 15 FREE local SMS, courtesy of the GLOBE Rewards Program. Thank you for being a loyal Globe subscriber.”
After a year of partnership with this network, I finally got a reward! Actually for prepaid users if you load more often for a month and reached their desired amount, I think it was 300 for a month, you get a reward such as that above. This means that I hardly get to a 300 a month. hahaha! I’ve never been an avid texter since I changed network. Mental telepathy na lang ako. Nagmahal kasi sila a week after I changed. When kaya next reward ko? Hmmm…tagal pa ta ata. Ha!
Another thing that amused me is their advertising text. Here’s one of them:
“From Globe: Pambili ng GAS! U can win P100K DIS WK! Dahil sa reload mo last 7//17, may entries ka na. Txt PERA to 2346! DTI3086. NoFreeInfo? Txt PTS STOP to 2346.”
So timely nga naman dahil weekly na nagtataas ang presyo ng gasolina. Hanep 100K panggaas lang. Wow naman! On the fourth of August, I got another one after ako nagShare-a-load to my classmate and this time it said ‘PANGNEGOSYO!.’ Okay yun, 100K pangnegosyo. Pwede na sari-sari store nyan. Then last Aug. 30, they sent me one but yet it said ‘Pangkabuhayan.’ It’s just the same with the previous one. I wonder why they never wrote ‘Pambili BIGAS,’ pwede rin yon. Timely for the price hike of rice this previous months! Ilang sakong bigas din yon! Naman! What else would be their next hirit? Pangbayad KURYENTE, pwede if you’re running a food chain. Do they amount to that? Hindi naman siguro. Ano pa kaya pwede? PangBAHAY, sa GK dami nang bahay nyan!
Any how I haven’t tried joining their promos and I haven’t known anyone who won from it. True or not, such promos and ads, yet again, reflect the socioeconomic status of most Filipino these days which the hanep marketing department of this network must have seen.
Hayz, makapagtext na nga…;p

INSEST:lang magawa..that's how i look for the moment.wla pa rin akong haircut.haba na ng hair ko!tsk3...

back log and ICE

2008-06-18T21:52:00.000-07:00

so it's been past a week or so since my last surf in the net. all i thought i was alone not updating my blog more recently but my fave bloggers were busy as well with their own lives preventing them from posting here. though i'm no like them but i too is a busy person.hehehe.
here's my last shout out in my friendster:
"thank u Lord for today and for my tomz!hehe.lurve home!latest:(crush-es)ashton & cameron (hahaha); (trip)suvi koponen, finnish supermodel; (song) new soul; (love)reconnecting to old time friends"

so much for the "me"..i'm actually posting something helpful. i got this forwarded message from a concerned friend in FS. now, i'm sharing it to everyonelse. i find it a big help!

THIS IS A GREAT IDEA!

> > > Isn't it true that we all carry our mobile phones with hundreds of names/numbers stored in its memory but yet nobody, other than ourselves, know which of these numbers belong to our near and dear ones?

> > > Let us for a moment create a scenario wherein we are involved in an accident or had a heart attack and the people attending us get hold of our mobile phone but don't know which number to call to inform our family members. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency?

> > > For this reason, we must have one or more telephone numbers stored under the name ICE (In case of Emergency) in our mobile phones.

> > > Recently, the concept of "ICE" is catching up quickly. It is simple, an important method of contact during emergency situations.

> > > As cell phones are carried by majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or person who should be contacted at during emergency as "ICE" (meaning In Case of Emergency).

> > > The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call.

> > > He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose.

> > > Following a disaster in London , the East Anglican Ambulance Service has launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign.

> > > In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital staff would then be able to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply dialing the number stored as "ICE".

> > > Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before every body will know about this.

> > > It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.

> > > For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc

> > > A great idea that will make a difference! Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our mobile phones today!

> > > Please forward to your all nearest and dearest.

Talking About Mah Name

2008-05-20T09:32:00.000-07:00

here's my official first account here. this one has been posted already in my friendster blog. so i'll just repost it here coz i think this is a good intro entry for me here...;)

hiyaaahhh!!! Aloha mora!aw..ga-joke ai..okay, this was suppose to be an update of my ‘describe me’ part for my fs (short for friendster, dunno who started it all, nevertheless it’s an ease for everyone else whose into fs..me-grinning-look) account. But since it’s lengthy already for my name alone, I think people would just find it boring and make head notes like “the heck with it!” and the like, you know. Since I’m pretty sure no ones gonna read this one ‘coz, obviously, I don’t get any comments from here, (Yohooo! anyone from here? Hehehe..) i’ll just write for the purpose of entertaining myself and perhaps just to tire my head..

Here it goes…;p

I have loads of nick like palang, bebe, loveness, lei, lea-with-an-H-and-w/o-H, ness, lomonsod, maness, sexy, lion, baronessa, and sa-mga-di-ko-pa-alam-na-yon-na-pala-ang-tawag-nila-sa-akin. There are eleven all in all excluding, of course, the ones I don’t know yet. See how the name lea ness sarabia lomonsod has evolved in a matter of 19 years and I bet there’s still more to come?!

Obviously, I really really do love my name. I find it unique and sweet but sad to say, I’m no longer officially alone with this name. Try surfing and see for yourself. Tsk! I wonder where she got her’s ‘coz mine is the combination of my father’s and mother’s name. {[(leopoldo-opoldo)+a]+space+(agness-ags)}= lea ness. taddaaahhh!! Sweet isn’t it? My father baptized me because if mama did it would have been a long one. I just forgot my could-have-been-long-name. The reason behind of papa choosing the name was more likely if not exactly said, “kapuyon tawon ug sulat ang bata ana.” And father was definitely right! Thanks pa! The same goes to my brother’s name. His is lee agn, pronounced with a silent ‘g’ making it ‘an’. Still a unique one. kudos to my father!hehehe..

When I’m called…..

Lea Ness Lomonsod – It simply pin points me! I don’t think someone in the world has the same first name and last name with mine not unless someone is claiming to be Ms. Me and that would be illegal! Anyhow, it’s my pride and honor to be called that way especially when I’m given credits say like for passing this, topping on this, receiving an award of that and this (hambogera!;p). Then the other way around when I’m summoned for anything wrong. It really is a shame in low situations.

Palang – I feel young because it reminds me of my childhood. This is my first nick given to me by my papa again. It is short for palangga, in English love. Oh yeah! Funny thing about it, it evolves into palanggana, as in basin in English, when I’m in battle with my kalaro during my youngster years.

Bebe - Sometimes my mother, kuya, and cousin Badjoy call me that way ‘coz I’m like the youngest of that them. So sweet of them! To my father, I’ll always be his palang. “Palang, palit sa sigarilyo didto beh.”

Loveness – Sweet. This was given to me by my elite group of friends because I’m the youngest in our family man daw and maybe it just fits my second name ness. Haha.. It reminds me of them. (I miss you guys!) What’s amazing is that even when they’re mad, they still call me that way. Love you girls! ;)

Lei – There’s a bit of masculinity with it. Hehehe.Unique din. If I were to change my name, I want it with a mannish touch like Alexis, Francis and Christian. May pagkaboyish kasi ako. My former classmates and friends in elementary and high school call me that way.

Lea/h – The with h reminds me of Mommy Elvs because she writes my name that way in her letters. Usually, people mistake my first name with an h especially when they don’t know how it’s rightly spelled. The leah has somewhat an American touch to me while I feel so Filipino with lea, credits to me Ms. Lea Salongga. It makes me proud with that name, feeling singer na rin ako. Hahaha.. Ito rin tawag ni mama sa’kin when she gets mad at me.

Ness -- It’s awkward at times. It reminds me of my mother ‘coz she’s the first ness. She’s called that back at home but now, I’m getting the hang of it. The BSN pipz nicked me with that name in order to make distinction from lea ness and lea marris. The latter gets to be called by her first name. Sometimes, it still catches my attention when they shout out lea when actually they’re referring to my behalf in class.

Lomonsod – Jupfer, a good friend of mine, sometimes call me that way. He would say, “baby lomonsod the daughter of mother lomonsod.” In return, I call him with his surname as well: baby balbutin! Hehe..(hello jupf!)

Maness – This name was created by lorraine, a classmate of mine during our sophomore year in college. She’s fond of making names and it’s awkward still because I don’t feel like ‘ma’. Haha..

Sexy – Depending on my state of mind, there would be times I feel elated with it and times that gets me thinking, “am I really that unfabulous, that fat?” but mostly I react like this, “ngilad na pud.” Gee… It started from my guy classmates way back sophie year. Pumayat daw kasi ako kaya sexy daw. Then the elation airs! Ayeee! Naaaah that was before!!

Lion – It stands for the king of the forest, so figuratively, I feel like I’m someone with authority. That’s only to me, perhaps to some they feel like I’m gonna eat them. Hahaha.. Junno, a classmate in BSN calls me this way. (hi Junno!)

Baronessa – Di ano pa? Feeling baronessa, regal in my own right (phrase picked somewhere else). I’m known that way with my Chill Group a.k.a the denim angels and some of them are my timawas, affably they obliged.

No matter how different my name could be, what counts most is how the way it’s used and perhaps who used it. The intonation used, the syllabication of the word and the stress are the factors that play in evoking variety of emotions. Syempre if joyful ‘yong tumatawag, eh di happy din ako. If sad naman ang approach, napapasad na rin ako. Ganun! If my crush calls me loveness, iba na yon. Kilig na daun! Pero pag di ko crush then naglove, ewan ko na lang. God bless!

Haba! Nakakabore na. bahala kayo!;p basta nag-enjoy ako!
