today, it’s exactly 7 years since i first set foot in ULPC. i didn’t foresee that i will stay here that long... longer than my stay in my first job. it’s very obvious... i’m not really good on long range planning.
* * *
since the start of this month it’s been a regular scene going home to see truck load of pigs being hauled. poor porky, its game over. seems like no party or gathering is possible without pork.
* * *
the year is about to end and as always, already thinking of something new or different to try the coming year. getting a tattoo or buying a gun by 2012? Hmmmm…
:)

just a station away
nang mawala ka sa akin, ikaw at ako'y nawalan
ako dahil ikaw ang minahal ko ng lubusan
at ikaw dahil ako ang sa iyo'y lubusang nagmahal.
ngunit sa ating dalawa ay ikaw ang higit na nawalan:
dahil pwede kong mahalin ang iba tulad ng pagmamahal ko sa iyo
nguni't ika'y 'di mamahalin tulad nang kung paano kita minahal
-ernesto cardenal
well said.
BUT, on the last line, i strongly disagree.
haha!

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
within your mighty hand
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God
Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust

i am the devil
You are The Devil
Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession
The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.
Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

this is tower... please identify yourself
can’t remember when my attraction to flight attendants started. but until now they never fail to attract me. the way they dress, the chic make-up, the neatly fixed hair. the slender body, the modest but confident movement. but the most, i love the sweet and welcoming smile, which most of the girls misinterpret as flirty, haha! hay, nakaka-bobo.
just like these 2 young ladies i bumped with last night. the moment they step on the train, i can certainly tell that they are learning very well from the flight attendant school. still trainees, as revealed by their wcc aviation uniform, but a distinctive personality are already in plain sight. lucky enough one sat by my side. i can’t help myself but say “ang ganda mo ate,” and i was replied by a pleasant smile. nonetheless it’s already past 8:00 in the evening, her face still depicts a sunrise: so fresh, so bright. hay, nakaka-bobo talaga. but it’s already a station away from home and still, i can’t find words to start a conversation. hirap talaga ng torpe… tsek! tsek! tsek! bye for now. will see you again soon. on board, i hope. or maybe along the hangar.
and every time i saw one rekindles my childhood dream of working in the aviation industry. the hope is still there. the possibility is still there. i believe.
for now i’ll just enjoy watching attendants’ flight while waiting for my chance. sooner i hope… sayang ang miles.

how far have you gone so far?
they used to say:
it's the journey, not the destination.
but i may say,
sometimes, the destination matters...
reaching it counts.
and who you're with is a bonus.

sorry na ha...
first few lines captured by my eyes today that worthy to live by...
for a strange reason, it reminded me of the nido "i got stinky, i got dirty, but see, i learned" advertisement.
“life is too short. grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. laugh when you can. apologize when you should and let go of what you can change. love deeply and forgive quickly. take chances. give everything but have no regrets… life is too short to be unhappy. you have to take the good from the bad. smile when you’re sad. love what you got. learn from your mistakes but never regret. people change and some things go wrong. but always remember... LIFE goes on”.
it does make a lot of sense indeed.
hope i could observe it more often.

07. ga by e-mail:
ga, it’s been raining lately and it reminded me of you… but i’m sure sad ka pa rin kasi wala ako sa tabi mo, hehehe! i’m back from singapore 4 months ago. yes, i gave up my career… i need to. i know it’s not the best solution but i just don’t want to complicate things more. oh, well! now here in davao, managing my cousin’s beauty saloon. it’s totally a whole new world. less stress i hope. nga pala, we’re still waiting… already tried friends’ advice pero wala parin talaga eh. BUT still, i won’t take your offer, gago ka! hehe!
who you like I’m gonna be in your whole new world? hmmm… i can be the merchant. "ahh! salam and good evening to you worthy friend. please, please come closer. too close! a little too close. there! welcome to agrabah." namputs! ngayon ka pa ba naman aatras? like what you’ve said before, you just broke your wings, you still have legs to move on.
p.s.: my offer is still valid. hehe!
08. kr thru ym:
hi... we're planning to have our pre-nup pictorial there. pwede ba? sa labas lang naman. kanino kaya pwede mag-paalam? favor please.
wowowow! you really made me laugh! with the warehouse and the sales building on the background? WHAT? sabi ko naman sa’yo di maganda epekto ng drugs sa utak kapag sobra eh! share mo kasi sakin para di ka nasosobrahan. even when you explained the significance, that it’s where you two met and knew each other, still can’t stop myself laughing. i’m not sure if the management will allow, but i’m sorry my crazy friend, i can’t find enough guts to ask permission. baduy kasi nung idea, baka mabatukan lang ako! hehehe! have it on a more secluded and really nice place, please. you won’t regret it.
and another WHAT?! what the hell in the world you got the idea of getting married? i know you already think of it twice. now think a hundred more. a thousand, maybe.
teka, kelan nga ba?
09. mj thru sms:
hi pare! i got my hair curled… hubby’s gift on my birthday. not the telephone-cord-type pero hindi rin sobrang laki ng mga waves. yung tama lang.
i assumed it as an Anne Curtis’ or Marian Rivera’s look but you said it’s not. "ah basta, maganda ako but i won’t let you see my hair!" You quipped.
shoot! i will ask somebody take your picture. and for that, i have all the reason in the world na laitin ka kung para sakin pangit buhok mo! walang iyakan ha :)
OT: how are you and your boss? stay cool ha, wag mo aawayin… kawawa naman.
ladies, i'm glad you still keep in touch. pero di ko pa rin nalilimutan utang n'yo sakin. at parang gusto ko na maningil! :)

spit or swallow?
overheard from a group of crazy college students squeezed in the lrt last night:
girl1: aray! aray!!!! ang bata! ang bata! dahan-dahan lang po, naiipit yung anak ko.
bading1: bruha 'wag ka nga sumigaw... sarado mo bibig mo, baka malaglag yan!
girl2: gaga! eh nilunok n'ya kaya sabi n'ya!
bading1: talaga dear... nilulunok mo 'yun?!
girl1: bakit ikaw, hindi?!
girl2: ako niluluwa ko... pero next time try ko rin lunukin...
(hahaha! that made me laugh.)
blah! blah! blah! and more blah!
they're chitchatting at louder than normal voice...
teasing each other.
surely annoying to some (especially if they know what they are talking about),
but i think lot of us also enjoyed that late night trip with them.

i'm getting used to it
i don’t have a short attention span, just…
OH, LOOK A TIGER!
that’s how you ended up the conversation.
leaving me confused.
amazed.
as always, you're so good on making excuses.

of girls and cars...
having a custom car is like having a lady at your side. she also empties your wallet and also makes you feel good when you ride her.
- lugs
ganito lang yan e, masarap ang may kotse. kase di umaangal, kahit saan mo dalhin, hindi ka niya mapipigil. maari minsan magtatampo pag nasisira, pero madali ayusin. pero minsan ang babae, suskopo! napakahirap makipag ayos, minsan di mo pa alam ano ang kailangan ayusin, yun bang palalabasin na insensitive ka. pero iba rin ang happiness pag magkasama kayo ng babae. in short, masarap merong kotse at babae..
- peace man
a real man cares for his mitsu the way he would take care of a lady and still remember to care for the lady more than a car. the power and beauty of a guys ride is a preview of how great lover he is.

summer '09
summer time and it seems the sun is on vacation too.
perfect! unlike many others, i'm enjoying the weather... and hoping it'll last until June.
+ + + + +
as usual, mountaineering is at peak during this season. unfortunately, climbing Halcon is still prohibited and its reopening is unclear. considered as the most strenuous mountain in the country, it has been a measure of a certified pinoy mountaineer. to the young bloods out there, aspiring to reach Shaldang... pray hard that it would be open next year!
+ + + + +
last night, i finally declined the Guiting-guiting climb invites. it’s been on my list for a long time but i have to accept that i’m not physically (and mentally) prepared and ready to explore G2 for lack of training. running 5K for the last few weekends is not enough to deal with boulders and steep and loose trail. also, i don’t have any major climb since 2003 making my confidence level very low. and my left knee injury, from a bad fall in Banahaw last 2001, is still punishing me. well, see you at Majo’s peak maybe next year.
