as it is

i have confirmed once again that in any relationships--friends, lovers, countrymen [hahaha!!! hello garci??!!]--that the best way to address any issues with the people involved, is saying it as it is.

mistress and slacker know that for the longest time i have a standing issue with the man from binondo about what was supposed to be one grand time gone wrong.

anyway, i really felt it festering me for days now and it was just great that we were able to chat about it at last this afternoon. i was so willing to have discussed this over lunch or in person, but it just so happened that it wasn't meant to be so.

so i told him about it and he squarely let me know his sentiments about what happened.

thanks man! letting it all out can make a great difference [ala joe d'mango...bwahaahahaha]

mistress, slacker, papa bear

at last, slacker came with mistress and me in sta.cruz and divisoria. as likely, it was totally unplanned. i was up all night downloading [but of course, CF's gorgeousness only to find out that most of the files were corrupted or misleading] when slacker chat with me. as we went on, i was able to mention to her that i was planning to go to sta. cruz to find law books for mah dad. then when she said she plans to go with me, there it started.

so when we went off, i had to ask her to secure the HR book i was borrowing from arjhaie [thanks slacker, as in]. then when we finally met, i even commented that she looked like a student about to go to classes [or about to slack, whichever]. then we waited for mistress. but we already bought DVDs. she got 7 in 1 will smith collection while i got keanu 6 in 1 including animatrix.

off we went to ongpin to find something to eat. we got interested with a lumpia eatery since we really were famished that time. mr lim was giving us intructions for another resto but we just wanted a place so badly. so we stopped by and ate to our hearts' content [again forgot the name, hmmm, think it was in chinese]. i went for maki, mistress with quekiam, slacker with sweet and sour pork.

then when we're done, it's time for divisoria. it was so funny since we rode a jeepney that was supposed to sit about 7 people per side, but we reduced it to maybe just 5. with another passenger just "making sabit" for lack of options. bweheheheehe.

when finally we were in divisoria, we shopped then shopped then bought then shopped again.

gotten tired of going the rounds, we contented ourselves in staying in divisoria mall's food court. and we talked about our lives [whose else??? if only you knew anyway].

had we not been asked to vacate our seats, we would have stayed there for eternity. anyways, we then went to tutuban mall just to go about.

mistress bought shoes [in red of course], shoes and bag [kerrokerrokerropi...i was looking for a terminator 4 one but the kid selling didn't have any...bwaahahahahaha, talking about hard selling to me]. slacker bought 2 bags, one formal and one casual. she likewise bought vcds to watch. me, i was able to buy a good watch, bracelet and vcds galore [again].

amusing how things or events that are sooo unplanned turn out more engaging and memorable than planned ones...i should know, one very much planned one panned out on me.

so much for that...i want my rest day now so i can enjoy mah vcds and mah harry potter [slacker was disappointed with all the deaths going around the book, i wonder].

enuff said.

hey there, gorgeous

a month has passed with nary an entry...hehehe. i was taking this month for a ride and it was truly a tide of mixed emotions. the loves of my life, the wave 2 of my account in CVG had a get together, 2 of them has resigned: ays and mauie, was able to watch 2 cinema flicks [one sucked big time, the other rocked totally], have now an mp3 player that is so indispensable i am getting poorer for all the batteries i'm spending on it, has a new assignment in a new location, had limewire installed and downloaded lots [from vintage aretha songs to shirley bassey to salsa, tango, chachacha to paris hilton's bed gymnastics, watched koreanovelas like my sassy girl and all in [plus the raket i have with these VCDs], my dad has enrolled to become a lawyer, my brother nears the end of his classes in medical transcription, my mom frustrated for not contributing to the ratings of encantadia and sugo since our teevee set broke down, and my darling li'l sister, lingling learning the abc's and how to spell much to my delight.

at this point, regardless of how i felt the entire month, i feel blessed again. i feel renewed. i feel loved.

what a month right?

nella fantasia

this song is very inspiring. it talks about one's wish for a much more caring world. sarah brightman persisted for the composer, ennio morricone, to turn this instrumental piece, from the opus The Mission, to an aria. and it is refreshing to say the least. sarah's and il divo's versions are amazing.

here it is:

Nella Fantasia

Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto,
Li tutti vivono in pace e in onestà.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien' d'umanità in fondo all'anima.

Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo chiaro,
Li anche la notte è meno oscura.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano.

Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo,
Che soffia sulle città, come amico.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien' d'umanità in fondo all'anima.


In my fantasy

In my fantasy I see a fair world,
Where everyone lives in peace and honesty.
I dream of a place to live that is always free,
Like a cloud that floats,
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.

In my fantasy I see a bright world
Where each night there is less darkness.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the cloud that floats.

In my fantasy exists a warm wind,
That breathes into the city, like a friend.
I dream of souls that are always free,
Like the cloud that floats,
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.

payday bonding

this is now getting to be a habit. mistress and the man from binondo and mojacko hang out whenever we have the moolah.

and am really so sorry for letting slacker down once more, it just happened unplanned [again]

what happened was i wanted to go to jollibee to have my usual payday fix of chickenjoy and spaghetti, so i told theny that if there's going to be money in the bank, we can eat out [although i really wanted to treat them out]. then she muttered, even if there's no money we should still eat.

i told mond as well about our plans and we waited for him to finish by 10 [which extended till 1030, with him squinting his eyes and looking damn tired, ;p]

heniweys, we went out and, as forever usual, it took us the longest time to make up our minds on where to eat [pinoys really take infinity on this]. finally, we settled for d'angelo [with mond wanting chowking, i don't remember theny's]

ah yeah, as long as there wouldn't be any people staring at us or hinting that we better vacate our table, that's where she would have wanted.

then after that, we went malling without direction, as usual [this phrase will be a keyword in this blog]. then getting tired of all the walking, cocooned in mcdees [mcdo for you! haha]. i cajoled mond for desserts, and got it!!! [yipee, strawberry sundae, the best, mah fave]

and then we talked...talked...talked more...talked

to think i still had a shift last night! [what was i thinking? i was so hyper i went home past 6pm, just changed clothes then went to work for mah 12am shift. but i wasn't sleepy at all. i only sensed fatigued when i was about to logout at 915am]

you know guys, i reallllllllllllly thank you for being there that time. i will always have it with me. the way i was able to open up things and tell you about mah take on things. i am so blessed having you two around for mah mababaw musings and whathaveyous.

awful things may have been frustrating me lately but definitely having theny and mond as my best buddies sure make more than enough for all those let down moments go by.

luv yah guys! mwah

p.s.
hoy, we will push through with the bar thingey oks? we will down bottles of draft and fill our sense of sight with astral bodies [bwahaahahaha]

testimonial

i am now having more time to write testimonials to peeps in mah friendster account. i recently wrote something for a dear friend of mine in CVG, and i went on writing something in spanish since she tried learning it and i am in the process of learning hablo espanol myself.

here's what i wrote:

en la vida, no es tanto que ganamos muchas cosas ni logramos muchas nuestras aspiraciones. en la mayora de los tiempos, est en cunto hemos adorado eso importar, que seremos recordados el la mayora del.

in life, it is not so much that we gained a lot of things nor achieved a lot of our aspirations. in most times, it is on how much we have loved that will matter, that we will be remembered the most.
