bagong taon nga pero eto isang di kagandahang entry naman ang unang post ko sa buwan ng pebrero. nawala ako at napabayaan ko tong bahay ko the whole month ng january dahil na rin sa sobrang busy sa trabaho. ni pag open na lang ng facebook account ko eh di ko magawa at ang pag puksa sa mga zombies gamit ang deadly plants eh di rin matuloy-tuloy dahil sa trabaho. sobrang dami ng trabaho..huhuhu.
eh sino ba naman ako para magreklamo sa boss ko? ito ang ikinabubuhay ko eh kaya i’ll just make the most out of it na lang. sana lang matapos ko ang lahat ng dapat tapusin o kaya mag hire na ng bagong employee para naman may tutulong sakin bago sumapit ang april — ang busiest month of them all..hay!

the year 2009 has been blissful for me. many things happened, opportunities opened and blessings received. may the year 2010 be more blissful, healthy and prosperous not just for me but for all of us.

a blessed new year to all!

dahil sa likas na malikot talaga ang mga paa ko, nagpagpasyahan ko naman na i-arrange na ang schedule ng travels ko for the first half ng 2010. yeah, as early as now may naka set na talaga akong travel plan. di ko na nga pinapansin ang nanay ko sa kakapangaral sakin, kung kailan daw ako mag sastart mag save for my future? i know, iknow. importante naman talaga na may savings kaso eh mas gusto ko pa talaga mag enjoy at makita ang iba’t-ibang lugar. siguro pag nag sawa na ako dun na din ako mag start na mag save. may trabaho naman eh kaya may pinagkukuhanan pa ng pang gastos..ahehe..for now, gala muna hangga’t gusto.

di ako pumasok ngayong araw sa trabaho. wala lang. wala naman akong sakit. siguro monday sickness meron pero other than that, im completely healthy.

narealize ko lang siguro na masyadong over worked na ako kaya ginusto ko lang na i-extend ang weekend ng kahit isang araw lamang. walang ginawa kundi kumain, matulog, manuod ng tv at mag internet. walang inisip na trabaho o kahit problema man lang. buhay mayaman in short..hahaha..and i think i needed this break. very much.

the poster of the Dinagyang 2010 has been recently released. with much anticipation, i am personally excited with next year’s festival come this jauary 2010. this will only be the third time that i will be watching the performances live. the beat of the drums accompanied with the dance of the performers is just intoxicating. that’s the reason i keep coming back year after year. maybe this is why Dinagyang has been adjudged by the ATOP as the best tourism event of the Philippines for three consecutive years. and now its in the Hall of Fame!

go Iloilo!

gumala na naman ako kahapon at nakarating sa bandang likod ng isla. di ko inakala na may isang magandang resort pala dun, nakatago at malayo sa mga maiingay na bars at party places na usually nasa front beach. parang nasa ibang lugar ka lang kung nandoon ka dahil sa kakaibang ‘feel’ ng resort. mahal at pang mayaman dahil dollar rate ang mga units doon. buti na lang at pinayagan ako pumasok kahit di ako guest. nag pa cute lang ako. harharhar!

as i sat on the white powdery sand and stare at the nothingness of the infinite space above, i slowly feel the sticky mist of the morning breeze envelop my whole being. kissed by the soft rays of the morning sun, as if tranquilizing me into deep intoxication combined with the rhythm of the smooth waves gently touching the beach, ripple after ripple, I came to realize that this is the perfect antidote for a stress-laden me. nothing comes close to this feeling of peace of mind and tranquility as i seclude myself from the busy buzzing of city life and the pressures from work.

it was on a steamy hot saturday afternoon when I decided not to go home, rather just spend the weekend in the island where I am currently based for work, that I decided to have a little choco oreo frappe here in one of the famous coffee shops, in this world renowned tourist destination here in our country.

mirror…

i see what i want to see.
a man who looks like me.
standing, staring, asking,
…who is the real me?

dahil malayo ang place of work ko at every weekend lang ako umuuwi sa amin (kung minsan di pa nga eh), marami na rin happenings at impromptu celebrations ang namiss ko. yung mga tipong bigla na lang darating ang relatives namin na may dala-dalang pagkain para pagsaluhan sa isang simpleng hapunan kahit wala naman dapat i-celebrate. ganito kami sa makati pamilya namin, kung trip mag tipon-tipon kahit walang occassion, walang makakapigil..hehehe..ewan ko ba. at ang bahay namin ang usual place of celebration.
