Andame pinapagawa na di naman dapat ako ang gumagawa. Andame pinapaedit na kung ano ano. Patulong sa ganito, patulong sa ganyan – e bat di nyo muna itry gawin muna ng sarili nyo? Lahat na lang nagpapatulong kayo. Lahat problema ko. Tanginang buhay to. Okay naman kung hihingi ka ng favor pero please sana isipin naman kung baka busy ako or what dahil di ko kaya gawin lahat! Kabi-kabila pinapagawa nyo. Puta talaga.
Kulit much. Gisingin ba ako ng 4am para sabihin kung ano ang kanyang ipapagawa ko mamayang gabi? Di na ako nakatulog ng maayos. Hay buhay.
Minsan di ko talaga nakakayaang tong stress. Ang taas ng expectations, pag di naabot parang isang malaking kasalanan ang nagawa mo sa kanila. The worse part ikaw na nga hinihinggan ng pabor, ikaw pa pinapagalitan. Putakels.
Me and my classmates went out this sembreak sa isang province, bonding lang talaga, before the stresses of college life once again resurface. So ayun, nagstay kami sa isang hotel. It was a very spacious one actually, there were three bed rooms with CRs and a kitchen as well.
At dito nagsimula ang kwento ko.haha! Anyway, syempre as any outing would have, may pictchuran at inuman nanaman. Kaya naman si Pareng Bacardi at DSLR ang bida noong gabing yun. Syempre andami kong pictures ngayon na pang profile pic sa Facebook (click to go to facebook).
Pagkatapos ng pictyuran, kasama ko si classmate na may DSLR sa room, tinggin tinggin lang sa mga pictures, etc. Kasama rin pala namin si girlfriend ni classmate since class friend narin namin sya so ayun tinggn tinggin ulit hanggang sa mapansin ko na may ibang nakatinggin mula sa kanyang boxers!
Kung iniisip nyo na coincidence lang yang picture sa taas, aba’y nagkakamali ka dahil hinalughog ko pa ang Google Images para makakuha ng eksaktong itsura at para madescribe ko sainyo fully. Oo, bite size lang po, mas malaki parin akin. Naka boxers lang kasi sya tapos may parang mga button lang sa gitna kaya madali talaga makasilip si manoy.
I was really hesistant to tell him, kaya iniwan ko na lang, total kasama naman nya girlfriend nya.
I mean, paano ko nga naman sasabihin? Choose the best answer nga.
a) “Uy pare, si manoy mo oh, may hinahanap yata”
b) ”Uy friend, titi mo nakalabas oh…”
c) “Uy (insert name here), ”, sabay turo sa may penis area
d) None of the above
Syempre pinili ko na lang ang none of the above, baka trip lang pala nya talaga ang mag display ng titi nya diba? Iniwan ko na lang.hehe
Lesson learned nanaman ito. Dapat po kasi mag briefs pag nakaboxers lang. Pero kung trip nyo ang “free as a bird” feeling, by all means you have the choice to do so.
P.S. Kung ikaw yung classmate ko na nasa taas na kasalukuyang binabasa ito, I promise full confidentiality :)) I never told anyone about this. Plus, kahit ikaw siguro di mo rin to napansin.
A guy was being interviewed in a police station along West Avenue. The interviewee was in his late teens, he was wearing a black and white checkered polo and a pair of jeans, accentuated with a pair leather white shoes. There was weariness in his eyes, the kind of weariness you see in the anxious and sleep deprived.
The other scenes in the police station were a blur. Different voices from both complainants and the officers came undecipherable to his senses. The noise although unwavering sounded minute because of his mind’s restlessness.
With all the chaos happening around him, a voice stood out asking, “Oh, ano nangyari sayo?” while a figure wearing a blue uniform with a name plate bearing the word “Senilo” materialized before his eyes. The officer in front of him opened a thick binded notebook which seemed more like a record book. A new page for us was folded, the cop started scribbling characters, numbers and letters which seemed like a date and the incident, respectively.
While he was silent.
The officer asked again, “Ano nangyari sainyo?”
There was perplexity in his actions, his voice was calm and straightforward as he answered, “Nahold up po kami…” He was about to go home at that time. The night was still young, it still must be safe to ride the jeep he thought, and that’s what he exactly did. He rode quite an empty jeepney with only four passengers. As they travelled to the latter part of North Avenue, a group of six men wearing jerseys joined the unwary passengers. The group was quite unruly, they were obviously not the type of people fond of baths as manifested by their skin color and smell. One of them was holding a cigarette with his lips while puffing the smoke to the passengers' faces.
Something was wrong. Something was definitely wrong, his senses had been telling him. There was fear but he was too hesitant to act upon it. And he surely took the toll for his actions, his instincts never failed him.
“Akin na mga cellphone nyo!”, one of members of the group shouted while aiming a balisong to the guy. “Asan yung cellphone mo! Putangina! Papatayin kita pag di mo binigay”, the hold upper shouted again while searching for the phone of the guy from his pockets. He was in a state of shock – there was no movement in the jeepney around half a minute, the noisy jeepney suddenly became still, it all seemed so surreal.
It was like a trick or treat activity sans the candies and the costumes. And it really was, give out your phone and no one gets to be tricked, or you could get hurt while still keeping the treat. It was a trick or treat that would not accept “patawad po” as amn answer. So much for Halloween.
A familiar voice penetrated his senses again. It was the police officer asking him to sign the paper to make a blotter.
And there it was, a signature appeared in the paper above the name of Drei Santos.
Habang namimili ng babaunin ng kapatid ko, may nakasalubong kami na saleslady na nagpapafree taste. Uyyy... wag bastos, I know what your thinking. What I mean is that, namimigay sya ng products for free tasting. Osige, masampolan nga ito, muka naman masarap kasi hugis Kisses yung chocolate.
Sabi nya, "Sir, iba ibang variants po yan, may mint, strawberry at milk"
Eh sakto namimili pa ako ng babaunin ng kapatid ko kaya nagstay lang kami dun habang kinakain ko isa isa yung mga chocolates na pina free taste nya.
"Sige sir, tambay lang kayo dito para maubos na."
Ahh gusto talaga ng babaeng to maubos ah,sabi ko sa sarili ko, kaya kumuha pa ako ng mga 6 pieces more at linagay sa lunch box ng kapatid ko.Wala naman nakatinggin eh, tsaka sya na mismo nagsabi na kuha daw ako.
Medyo napansin siguro nya na di pa ako nakadecide kung ano bibilin namin ng kapatid ko, kaya sinabihan nya ako na "Sir ito na lang product namin!"
I'll be spending this semesteral break at the province. I'm back to being a probinsyano and for a while be relieving my role as a Manila boy. Internet connection has been failing me for the couple of days I've spent at home. Plus, I still have to share the computer with my siblings which really lessens the time I spend blog hopping, browsing porn and reading articles.
I am absolutely bored. I miss the busy, polluted streets of Manila, the exasperating schedules I have to live by, and the stress from my academics. For a moment, I remembered when we were having our exams, I was wishing that it would all go away so that I could spend time for myself, my art (Yes. I do have a soft side for the arts)and my family. But now, it seems that I miss it all so much. I feel so disconnected from friends, bloggers and non-bloggers alike.
There was nothing much to do here.A typical day for me would consist of reading Dan Brown novels, eat, have coffee, and sleep. I remember the busiest day I had was when I had to bathe by younger brother, buy him some snacks at SM Hypermarket, and accompany him to school.
Put simply, libog na libog na ako lumabas.
Bloggers and friends from my province, where art thou?
Paksyet. Di ako makauwi dahil may pinapagawa pa sakin dito sa Manila kaya magkukwento na lang ako sa mga wholesome na nangyari sakin kahapon.
Actually, nasa MOA ako kahapon para sa Thomasian Global Trade Expo. Ayun andaming mga bazaar, job fair, at kung anu anu pang shit. Nagtaka nga ako kung bakit tinawag na global kasi ung mga exhibitors ay mga local brands lang at mga UST memorabilia stores na umuulit ulit lang ang tinitinda.
Pero sinulit ko na lang din ang mga bazaar kasi maraming free, syempre nagpakapulubi at PG nanaman ako kaya andami kong nahakot na freebie tulad ng ballpen at pamaypay courtesy of The Generics Pharmacy and mga candy mula sa Ray Gapuz Review Center.
Marami rami din akong free taste na natikman. Kabilang dito ang Milo, Sjorn, Ice Crumble, at may Ice cream pa na di ko na maalala ang brand. Actually nagstay din ako sa may Cooking Demo ng Century Tuna. Solve na solve ang araw ko sa dami ng pagkain.haha!
Habang nageenjoy pa ako sa expo, bigla ako nakarecieve ng text kay Citybuoy, iniinvite ako magmeet up sa may Greenbelt. Siyet. Di ako marunong pumunta dun sabi ko sa kanya. (Omit the Siyet word, di naman po ako balahura in person, promise :P) Ayun nga, sabi nya next time na lang daw. Nagpasorry naman ako.
Tapos bigla siya ulit nagtext after an hour yata yun, sabi malapit lang daw ang MOA sa Greenbelt. Syempre, shushunga shunga nanaman ako naniwala naman ako. Osige, minsan lang naman tong mga ganitong pagkakataon sayang naman kung di ako pupunta.
Buti na lang may nakita akong friend, na itago natin sa pangalang Paul. Tinuro nya kung saan ako
sasakay and all, mejo bobo kasi talaga ako sa directions. Sumakay ako ng jeep, na umabot sa MRT station.
Supermegaultra baho sa MRT. Siksikan to the max, parang mga party people. Dumami pa lalo ang tao nung nasa Magallanes na, may isang lalaki din sumiksik malapit sakin. From his looks, either isa syang construction worker or isang kargador. Okay lang naman, tolerable naman ako sa mga ganung tao. Pero shit talaga nung umandar na yung MRT at kumapit na sya sa hand rail. Umalingasaw ang amoy na parang egg sandwhich na naiwan sa bag ng isang linggo at noong inilabas mo may greenish whitish substance na nandun. Di ko talaga kinaya kasi halos magface to face kami ng kilikili nya. Bad vibes pa lalo pag malapit nang huminto ang tren, napapalapit pa lalo muka ko sa kilikili nya due to the effect of force. Laking ginhawa ko malapit lang at kasunod lang pala ang Ayala station.
Anyway, nung pagbaba ko sa station, naglakad ako papuntang Greenbelt na akala ko ay malapit lang (Thank you, Citybuoy). Pagdating ko sa Greenbelt, manghang mangha ako. Sorry naman promdi lang.haha! Ang ganda pala dun, ang sososyal ng mga tao, at yung mga store parang ayaw magpapasok ng customer. Parang basura talaga ako sa Greenbelt. Napansin ko din na habang tumataas ang number ng Greenbelt, sumososyal lalo ito. Kamusta naman nasa GB5 ako.
Ayun nameet kong una si Citybouy. Pinuntahan namin sila Victor at YJ sa Jolibee kasi kumakain daw sila dun. Di ko naimagine na may Jolibee pala dun kasi halos ng stores dun di ko nakikita saan man. Pagkatapos pumunta na kami ng CoffeeBean nameet ko dun sa Glentot at Pinky. Naabutan ko rin si Gasoline Dude kaso di na ako napakilala sa kanya kasi umalis na rin sya agad, pagdating namin.
Citybouy was so nice (narealize siguro nya kung gaano kalayo ang nilakad ko.hehe), linibre nya ako ng coffee. Thankk you! :)
Ayun kwentuhan kami dun habang nagcocoffee sa may labas. Dumating after ilang minutes sina Ahmer at Andy na nagpapansit. Joke. Di sila nagpapansit.
Anyway, andami kong nalaman na mga chi chi about the blogosphere. But I'm not telling. :)
Natapos na kami ng mga 3am, nakauwi ako ng mga 4am. Thank you Ahmer, Andy, and YJ sa pagsama sakin pauwi since clueless talaga ako pano babalik sa Manila. Nakaktuwa mameet kayong lahat. Enjoy talaga ako kagabi, sana maulit muli :) Parang kanta lang.
I went to a public CR at Mall of Asia yesterday with my 7 year old brother. Being public as it is, there were many people walking in and out, doing their thing to relieve themselves. Upon entering the CR, I headed straight to the last urinal while by brother went to next to it. After a while by brother glanced at my penis while urinating. He then suddenly blurted out:
“Ewwww… Laki!”
Potaena. Umurong ihi ko.Nahiya ako to the bones.haha!
The weekend passed by so fast I never really noticed I even had one. Here are is the rundown on what happened during my weekend:
1. Had my Saturday lunch at Bigoli’s, food sponsored by my birthday boy classmate. Took the challenge of the eat all you can cheesy overload and pepperoni pizza. Only managed to stuff into my stomach five slices of pizza. The highest record was 29 slices!
My tummy is really getting bigger now.
Need. To. Loose.Weight. Flabs.Fast.
I should probably start the Hiphop Abs workout. Do you think it will work?
2. I just saw my former high school teacher doing public display of affection at the cinema with her “boyfriend”. Gross.
To think they were even the pa-virgins who demonized PDA during our high school days. I have to congratulate her though because she even managed to get a boyfriend to call her own.haha
3. I just announced via SMS to my classmates that the quiz in one of our subjects is moved to a latter date. One replied, “So wala nang quiz tom?”. I didn’t reply.
4. My 7 year old brother asked me to carry him at the mall. And so I did. After a few minutes, he began sobbing with the about-to-cry expression on his face while saying, “Ung toytoy ko kuya…”. So cute.lol
It was a fun but tiring day today at our duty. I had two patients one suffering from an infection in the brain and the other was having gallstones.
I just did the usual thingamajigs at duty, got the vital signs (a.ka. Blood pressure, temperature, heart rate and respiratory rate), changed the linens, gave medications, documented the activity on the patient's chart. It was already becoming a routine for me, I became more and more efficient at doing the job every week.
Well, what made this day different are my patients. Truly heaven sent! One gave me an orange,a pack of skyflakes and a packet of Fita. I tried to refuse but they still insisted. Who was I to refuse such blessings?
The one mentioned above happened in the morning, I recieved another gift from my other patient at lunch time. This time, I was just about to monitor vital signs and they asked me if I could join them eat their lunch.
BTW, I was really hungry that time, it was past one and I still haven't taken my lunch break.
So there they insisted again, but of course I refused again by saying that I just ate my lunch. Sometimes nurses can be hypocrites.LOL Anyway, I just took the vital signs as fast as I could and before I could even grab my things, they already stuffed my hands with 5 bananas. "Sige tanggihan mo pa yan, mag tatampo na talaga kami", the relative said. I quipped, "Naku, nakakahiya naman po..." but deep inside I was like, "THANK YOU PO! Grabe saktong sakto di pa ako kumakain ng lunch!" I know its like being patay gutom but who am I again to refuse?
I'm just so happy that my patients apprieciate what I do to them.
It’s raining heavily again. And it sucks so badly because I’ll attend a friend’s recital in an hour.
I know that rummaging through the streets to ride a jeep as a last resort won’t do me any good. Probably by now, most of the streets in Manila are flooded at knee level with unidentified floating objects (UFO’s) (e.g. floating ipis, floating plastic, and the worse I saw, floating diapers) following the rippling of the waves. I remember one instance when I’m about to go home from duty during a heavy rain (I’m wearing white pants and shoes), I removed my shoes and socks and went barefoot along the streets, stepping on UFO’s while I see some students who ride the pedicab for 50 pesos just to “ferry” you across the street. Mga abusado talaga ang mga yan, pero kung sabagay tumataas na ang level of education ng mga Pilipino ngayon ah, at least naaply nila ang law of supply and demand. But I still stick to my point, bwiset parin sila! I felt so miserable that time with my backpack on my right hand and my shoes on the left while my umbrella is sandwiched between my armpits.
Speaking of umbrellas, I think they won’t be a welcome remedy at this time. I’ve had so many experiences of my umbrellas turning inside out during a heavy downpour. That’s why mine don’t usually last long, its either I lose them or they get broken. I’ll most likely be kind to my umbrella this time.
Oh, finally, the rain stopped already. Thank you Lord!
After my very wholesome and un-libelous blog post last week, let's now talk about probably the most abused from of transportation there is in Manila, the "Jeepney".
"Jeep", as it is fondly called, characterizes much of what is being Filipino with its colorful displays and the sense of togetherness when you have a ride.
However, here I am still wondering on some ideas or practices that govern the jeepney experience.
1. Bakit kailangan pagkasyahin ang walong tao sa isang row ng upuan? Di ba magkakaiba ang sizes o laki ng pwet ng mga taong sumasakay? Bakit kailangang ipilit ang di na talaga kasya?
2. Bakit minsan sobrang dumi ng mga kuko ng jeepney driver at tila proud na proud parin na makatanggap ng sukli ang pasahero? Di ba kayang mag practice ng hand hygiene ang mga ito? Okaya nama'y bakit di na lang nila putulin ang kanilang mga kuko para di namumutiktik doon ang bacteria.
3. Bakit kailangang magging garapal minsang ng mga driver sa pasahero? Ung tila bang hinihintuan ang kada street na madaanan kahit na late na late ka na?
4. Bakit minsan di ka pa nakakababa sa jeep, umaandar na ito? Can't they wait?
Minsan talaga sobrang nakakabadtrip sumakay ng jeep, maliban sa sobrang init at hassle na, nakakabadtrip pa yung driver sa pagmamaneho nya.
Grabe! Nagising nanaman ako sa ingay ng dramahan ng mga kapitbahay namin. Ung para bang nakamega phone na umaabot ang sigaw hanggang sa kwarto ko. Minsan para bang Pinoy Big Brother sila pero puro boses lang naririnig mo, minsan iniisip ko nga na baka naka 24/7 live streaming ako sa kanila at minsan mas updated pa ako tungkol sa kanila kesa sa kanilang facebook account.
Minsan alam ko na kumakain sila dahil rinig na rinig mo talaga ang kanilang mga kwentuhan at mga kubiertos. Dati naman, ito yung time na nagaaway sila dahil sa isang pokpok na pinatos nung lalakeng asawa nya. By the way, ung kapit bahay naming parang compound sya na ung buong ankan ay nandun. Bata’y sa aking naririnig, gusto ko man o hindi, may magasawa na nakatira sa bahay ng tatay ng babae.
Naalala ko nung isang midnight eto ang nangyari…
Babae: Oh, san ka nanaman galing?
Lalake; Ahh uminom lang kami nila pare…
B: Ha? Hirap na hirap na akong kumayod tapos gumugoodtime ka lang?!
L: Nageenjoy lang naman minsan..
B: Ahh wala! Siguro nag table ka no?
L: (Walang sagot..)
B: Ahhh putanggiiinnaaaa! Pintatulan mo ang pokpok!
L: (tahimik)
B: Tanginnaaa… Tayyyyy!
Tatay: oh ano nangyari?
Tapos ayun, puro kalabog na narinig ko. Parang radio drama tuloy ako dito sa aking kwarto.haha BV talaga sila minsan, sarap sarap ng tulog ko eh. :/
