Entries for April, 2005
Let us pray for his Holiness, Pope John Paul II. May God give him strength to go on. We love you Papa John Paul. We love you. -------------------------------- April na pala. Ang bilis ng panahon. -------------------------------- Nakausap ko pala nung nakaraan yung aking nawawalang insan na si Joanne. Buti naman kahit papaano maayos (yata) ang kalagayan nya. Tagal ko rin tong hinanap. |

Grabeng... Lapit na pala bertdey ng inyong lingkod. Pero ano kaya gagawin ko? Siguro sa birthday ko, punta ko dun sa bahay namin sa Antipolo. Di naman nagagalaw yun. Walang tumitira. Dun muna ko siguro for 2 days. La lang. Tahimik.  Pota. Nagiging anti-social na naman ako. |
American Idol! w00t~!  This is Carrie Underwood, my current favorite in that reality-tv. I say she will be the next American Idol  But in that last Tuesday's show, I really like Anwar's performance. Good job! --------------------------------- Last night, I went to the Powerplant mall in Makati. I went there with my friend, Alden. We just played Guitar Freaks V (A guitar simulation video game). It's so addictive! I want to have a copy of the songs from that game. |
Bakit ganun. I feel something, but I can't put it in words. I'm feeling lonely for the reason I cannot say. Some close friends would say, "You are always like that. You don't share what you feel/think. " I wanted to, but I don't know how. I'm sorry.  ------------------------ I don't know if you people know the feeling. I'm going cynical, and for the past few weeks, I don't want to see any of my friends. I'm just inside my room with myself. I'm not sure what's wrong. I'm a wierdo. |
I looked at the mirror one day. Looking at myself, I see some changes. I know, I am not getting any younger anymore. Even my moustache is starting to grow (to tell you the truth, I haven't experienced shaving). Late bloomer. LOL. But still, I am still considered "young". Thank God for giving me another year. ----------------------------- I'm begining to understand why I'm feeling cynic and solitary. And It's not good. |
Yesterday, I woke up at 9am. I have to hurry back home to prepare some things before I go with Edi to watch Spongebob the movie. I was at my aunt's house that time. Luckily, my cousin needed to go to Manila to cover a sports event. So I took a ride with her to Manila and dropped me off somewhere near. I came late at past 3pm (sorry again Eds). But I wanted to make it up to her by treating her to the movie. She refused. I just hate it sometimes when people refuse my treat. Oh well. But that's ok. So, we watched the movie with a lots of kids inside the movie house. Spongebob is SO funny! I think Edi and me laughed harder than any of those kids watching! Hehehe! Then after the movie, we went to Quiapo to buy some DVDs. And guess what she bought? Spongebob Squarepants. LOL. And she also got other titles like White Chicks, etc. I also wanted to buy CDs but unfortunately, I don't have a DVD player. A few days ago, we already have planned to go to Cherrie's house (Edilyn's friend) in Marikina. I've never been to Marikina before. Edi dragged me again to another first time experience. We went there through LRT 2 and a jeepney. The area is cool, surrounded by trees and a creek. Cherrie welcomed us with hospitality. I like her pad. Though she's the only one living there, the place is neat. Good for her she knows how to manage on her own. Edi and I left the place at 11pm. We both enjoyed Cherrie's company. It's nice to hear "Boys do fall in love" by Andy Gibb . |
A few days ago, I planned for solitude at my place in Antipolo. But it seems I have to change the plan. My mom told me that the electricity and water have been cutted off in that place. So I have to think for other plans to spend this day.  I met my cousin Jasmine at her workplace in Makati. I asked her to buy me a book entitled, "The Purpose-Driven Life". Wow! I will really treasure this gift. She and my aunt also gave me money for my birthday. I didn't really have plans for that today. So I decided to spend this day with my friend Kim (her birthday is April 12). We usually spend our birthdays together. I fetched her on her home just near Jasmine's workplace. I took her out to a movie (Ring 2: Samara) at Glorietta in Makati. For me, the movie is not really THAT scary compared to the Japanese version, although the effects are far more cool. But I admit that there were portions that gave me shakes (how much more for Kim? hehehe). And at the climax of the story, on the part where Samara was chasing Rachel inside the well, the audiences were screaming. They screamed, while I was getting teary eyed. Yes, I almost cried. Not because of the movie but because Kim was pinching me SO HARD (because she was so scared). I almost yelled at her! Damn, it was so painful! But that's ok. After the movie we went to Glorietta 4 and had dinner. We've done some catching up because we rarely talk like that. We used to talk everyday on the phone, until we got busy with ourselves. Then I walked her home. It's a good thing that even we rarely talk nor see each other, the friendship doesn't get cold. That is what I like in this relationship.
It's nice to hear "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel . I have been reading "The Purpose-Driven Life (Ch. 1)" by Rick Warren . |
Yeah. Tagal ko rin nakapag post dito. Nothin much these past few days. I just did the usual like fixing PCs, hanging out with my old classmates, learning how to use Live Journal, and the best of all... reading books! I'm so into "The Purpose Driven Life" and "I Kissed Dating Goodbye". I admit that these books are changing my life little by little. I even created my own journal for Purpose Driven. But that's a secret for now. I wanted to share the lessons I got from that book but I'm hesitating for now (because I don't know how would the people I know would react about my journal). So I'll just keep it for myself for now. Maybe someday I could share it with you --------------------------------- I'm going back to school and finish my thesis. The enrollment starts in May 3, and the classes starts in May 17. That's only a few days away. With God's help, hopefully, I will pass this time. --------------------------------- I really have proven to myself that I am rehabilitated from addiction to Ragnarok Online  And the more good news is, I even stopped playing other online games. Now, I think there would be only minimal distractions while I study.--------------------------------- It was Recy's Birthday last Arpil 18. Too bad I can't come because I have to fix somebody's PC. I'm so sorry Ate. Si Dan Nagtatampo ata because I promised that I would come that day. You know, I don't have any work right now. I just can't miss this opportunity. I'm sorry. Di na rin pala tayo masyado nagkikita. --------------------------------- I can't believe I watched 2 movies... twice! I saw Spongebob Squarepants with Edi and then with Roy and Alvin. And I've watched ring 2 with Kim and then with Edi. --------------------------------- I feel like a real man now. hehehe. Basta. Hindi naman dahil sa hindi na ko virgin o ano. Basta. --------------------------------- Hail to the new pope! Viva Pope Benedict XVI! It's nice to hear "Alone" by Heart . I have been reading "The Purpose-Driven Life (Ch. 3)" by Rick Warren . |
Kaninang umaga nung paalis na ko ng bahay papunta sa bahay ng friend ko para ayusin ang printer nila, humirit tong nanay ko ng pabulong, "May 100 ka ba jan?" Kailangan kasi ng pambayad para sa paninda naming softdrinks. Wala nang isip-isip, inabutan ko ng 100, galing dun sa inayusan ko ko ng PC nung isang araw. 3pm na nun. Umalis ako ng bahay, sinubukang gawin ang nasabing printer, pero di ko nagawa. Sira pala mismo yung ink cartridge. Kailangan ng bago. Nakiusap na lang sa kin yung mom ng friend ko na kung maari, ako na lang ang bumili para sa kanya (hindi halatang close kami no?). Kasi naman, dapat e natutulog pa tong friend ko ng oras na yun (dahil sa call center sya nagtatrabaho), at walang ibang maaasahan ng oras na yun. Kailangan ni tita yung mga ipiprint na documents bukas ng umaga. Kaya ako na lang. Wala akong inaasahang kabayaran (dahil sa friend ko naman yun) para dun. Binigyan ako ng 300 pesos pambili. Nung makarating ako sa tindahan ng computer, 100 lang pala ang kailangan ko. Bumalik agad ako sa bahay ng friend ko para ikabit ang ink cartridge at maayos naman. Isosoli ko na yung sukli, pero binigay na lang sa kin. hehe. Parang bumalik lang sa kin yung binigay ko sa mom ko, doble pa. --------------------------------------- Naalala ko nun dati, Sunday noon, sa mass, nagbigay ako ng 20 pesos. After a few days, may friend ako na nagpaayos ng PC sa office nila. At nagulat ako sa binigay nila sa kin: 2,000 pesos. Not bad for fixing 2 computers at the same time! Biruin mo nga naman, 20, naging 2000!--------------------------------------- Dami pa kong exprience na ganyan e. Basta ang napansin ko lang, pag nagbibigay ka ng taos sa puso, at di mo iniisip na babalik pa yun, babalik yun! Doble! (o higit pa.) Aaminin ko, mahirap yun, lalo na siguro kung nabasa nyo tong entry kong ito. Malamang e sa bawat bigay nyo, maiisip nyo na babalik sa inyo ng doble. Pero siguro, pag natutunan nyong maging ugali yung bigay lang ng bigay, di nyo na maiisip yun. At magugulat na lang kayo kung gaano kalakas magbigay si Lord...

Kahapon, madaling araw, nag-jogging ako mula sa bahay hanggang Rockwell-Makati. Mga 5-6 km rin yun. Kaso sa kasamaang palad, na-sprain ata ang kaliwang ankle ko. Ayaw ata ako papayatin ng tadhana...  -------------------------------- 6am na ko nakatulog after my jogging. Sarap. Kaso 12pm ako nagising, kulang. Paano ba naman kasi nagpapasama tong si tukayong Alvin sa Quiapo. Bibili ng dibidi. Da Beatols, etc. Aray ko! Ang sakit ng paa ko! Nadisgrasya na nga ang paa, laboy pa rin! Buti na lang nilibre nya ko sa Chowking, Quiapo branch. Umorder ako ng ipinagmamalaki nilang Milk tea. Wow ang sarap nga! Kaso naman amp! Mahigit sa kalahati ng laman ng baso puro yelo. Parang isang lunok ko lang yung milk tea! Tinitipid ng Chowking customers nila (I just hate restos like you!) -------------------------------- Nung naghiwalay na kami ni Alvin sa underpass ng Quiapo, derecho ako dun sa park lapit kina Tong. Nagbasa ako dun ng mga peyburit kong books na The Purpose-Driven Life at I Kissed Dating Goodbye. Kailangan ko humabol sa TPDL. Hindi ko nabasa kasi ilang araw na. Sarap sana sa park e. Kaso ingay nung mga nagpa-practice na musiko  -------------------------------- Nung mga 6:30pm na, dumerecho ako sa house ni Tong. Kukunin ko kasi yung CDs na pinaburn ni Kim kay Rolly (tenks Rolly). Napatagal ang pamamalagi ko dun kasi naman napasabak ako sa matinding kantahan sa Magic Sing! nyehehehe! Malufet ako kumanta.   Joke.-------------------------------- I had a haircut~! Flattop, white-side wall. Picture? naaah...  Just imagine me as Tolits (Minsan pa'y babangon, ang lolo kong namatay...! *with matching hand gesture*)
It's nice to hear "All This Time" by Tiffany . I have been reading "The Purpose-Driven Life (Ch. 4)" by Rick Warren . |
Ah... Im almost finished renovating my template. version 9.2. I forgot to take a screenshot of the old one :S .This template looks like the old one (corkboard-style), except it has border, and new other stuffs. I'll just finish this later to do: Links, fix the YM stat, User icons, Official Banner, the "about me" page, I'll also think of some other stuff to add in my ETC page and the blank space overthere <-------- ------------------------------ Correction to my past post about my ankle. I was not sprained, but I think I broke my ankle. ------------------------------ Why is it that when you are trying to get close to God, a lot of temptations kept coming? |
Well, medyo ok na tong paa ko. Mamaya nga e try kong pumunta sa Luneta para mag-walking and that free AEROBICS class. hahaha! Grabe conscious na ata ko sa weight ko LOL. E paano ba naman kasi lahat ng kakilala ko sabi ang laki na ng tinaba ko hahaha (e sa mataba naman talaga ako!) ------------------------------- Nahuhuli na ko sa pagbabasa ng The purpose driven life! waaaaa! Talagang pag gusto mong bumait at dumerecho ang buhay, gagawa at gagawa si Sataning ng paraan para mahatak ka. Pati last Sunday, muntik na ko hindi makapag-simba. ------------------------------- Naiinip na ko sa bahay. Sa May 3 pa kasi enrolment ng AMA. Naisip ko na sa May 3 na lang ako mismo pupunta para kausapin ang dean kung pwede ko ulitin ang thesis A. Para kung pwede, e di magpapa-asses na rin ako derecho. Mas makakatipid pa ko sa pamasahe. ------------------------------- Pambihira tong pamilya ko. Nabalian na ko lahat-lahat at papagaling na paa ko, di man lang kinamusta. Ni wala man lang, "Ano nangyari dyan sa paa mo?" What a loving family di ba? ------------------------------- Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that a few days ago, I received a birthday card from Sarah (fresh from Illinois). Thanks very much, sugah. I have been reading "The Purpose-Driven Life (Ch. 5)" by Rick Warren . |
~Mag-exercise tayo tuwing umaga, tuwing umaga, tuwing umaga... Kahapon, mga 5:00am. Nakarating ako ng Luneta Park para sumali sa isang aerobics class dun sa isang platform sa ibabaw ng Manila bay. Hahaha! Ewan ko kung anong pumasok sa isip ko, pero nagiging health conscious na ko siguro. Ayun. Nagsimula ang session ng 5:30am na. Nakaka-gago nga yung unang steps ng exercise e. Paano ba naman, ayaw palitan yung music. Nag-e-aerobics kami ang tugtog What's up? ng Four Non-blondes. Sa kasamaang palad, nakalimutan kong magdala ng TUBIG. Napagastos tuloy ako, kakabili ng bottled water. At heto pa, akala ko e libre yun. may bayad pala, 20 pesos kapag weekdays, at 10 pesos pag weekends (dahil mas maraming tao pag weekends.) Pero ok lang. Kaya naman sinulit ko yung 20 pesos ko at naka-2 oras ako na nag-e-aerobics! haha! Sarap pala. Medyo nahihiya ako nung una kasi naman puro matatanda mga kasama ko. Ako pa lang bata nung oras na yun. Pero nung tumagal e may mga ilang chika babes na nagdatingan  Nakakagana tuloy lalo mag exercise. Importante pala talagang aminin mo sa sarili mo na overweight ka, para masikmura mong sumali sa mga ganyang activities. Yun ang na-realize ko dun.Alam ko may pilay pa ang ankle ko, pero habang nag-e-aerobics ako, di ko naramdaman yun. Pero nung matapos ako, unti-unti ko naramdaman na sumasakit na naman paa ko. Kala ko kasi magaling na, kaya sumabak ako sa ganyan. Di pa pala. Nagpahinga muna ko sandali bago umuwi. Humiga ako sa tabi ng Manila bay habang nakatingin sa alapaap, nag-iisip. Ngayon ko lang ulit nagawa yun. Sarap. Kalangitan lang ang nakikita mo, at walang ibang ingay sa paligid kundi ang hampas ng alon ng mabahong dagat at ang malalakas na mag-uusap na mga Intsik sa paligid. Nakarating na ko ng bahay ng 9am, at nag-online muna ko. Wala pa kong tulog nun. Tinaboy na nga ko sa chatroom ni Sarah para matulog. zzz . OK payn. LOLz.Medyo pagod pa nga rin ako ngayon habang sinusulat ang kwentong ito. ------------------------------------ Hay grabe nagalit sa kin yung isang tao dahil ang slow ko :S Oh well. buti na lang ok na yun.

Yesterday morning, I woke up laughing about a silly dream of mine. The whole dream seems like a movie. I was at home and I heard the phone ringing. When I answered, I was surprised to hear someone with American accent speaking on the other line. "Hello? Is this Alvin?" "Yes, speaking. What can I do for you?" "This is the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Based on your email to us, you know where Osama Bin Laden could be hiding (for some reason, i do know where Osama is, in my dream). We are just calling to inform you about your demand of US citizenship and witness protection in addition to the reward for the information. Please go to your nearest US embassy. We've already informed them about you. But please, DO NOT tell anyone about this information, even to your own family and friends." The phone hungs up. In my dream, they were giving me a $ 100 million for that info (but in reality, i checked the FBI website and it says that they are giving only $25 million, plus another $2 million from Airline Pilots Association and the Air Transport Association.) What deal! So I went to the US consulate, gave then the info, got my money, then came back home. I gathered the whole family in the living room: mom, dad, my bro, and sister. I said godbye and sorry to them (sorry for so many things) and explained to them why I'm going abroad (but I told them a false reason, that I got a sudden work in US). I gave half of the money to my parents, and then I started packing up. The next scene was... I was already in USA. I just got off the plane, and the suddenly... I woke up XD. |
