  128. Yes, I am mad today because my doppelganger- Jed Madela is getting so much attention lately because he does painting too. I can&#39;t hardly believe it , cos I only thought that my voice sounded beautifully as his. Hehe.&lt;br /&gt;

  158. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  159. Wish I tell you what I feel&lt;/div&gt;
  160. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  161. But I fear it’s not meant telling&lt;/div&gt;
  162. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  163. I fear for the right words to choose&lt;/div&gt;
  164. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  165. Nor the ears that would listen&lt;/div&gt;
  166. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  167. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  168. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  169. I lone for my emotion to act&lt;/div&gt;
  170. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  171. The sincerest, but I prefer not to&lt;/div&gt;
  172. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  173. Not this time, nor tomorrow,&lt;br /&gt;
  174. I could never tell&lt;/div&gt;
  175. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  176. The right time as I always say,&lt;/div&gt;
  177. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  178. But the clock continuous ticking&lt;/div&gt;
  179. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  180. Tick tock, I hope for the day it strike me&lt;/div&gt;
  181. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  182. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  183. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  184. I wish the world is not an A,B,C&lt;/div&gt;
  185. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  186. That each is everyone&lt;/div&gt;
  187. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  188. That I fit somewhere there&lt;/div&gt;
  189. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  190. In that beautiful place&lt;/div&gt;
  191. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  192. With you and I, or We&lt;/div&gt;
  193. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  194. Living the 3 words&lt;/div&gt;
  195. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  196. No thoughts, no worries&lt;br /&gt;
  197. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  198. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  199. But it could never be&lt;/div&gt;
  200. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  201. Not at least today&lt;/div&gt;
  202. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  203. But it&#39;ll happen&lt;/div&gt;
  204. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  205. When the lights are off&lt;/div&gt;
  206. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  207. It happens&lt;br /&gt;
  208. &lt;br /&gt;
  209. Hope I belong here,&lt;br /&gt;
  210. Before that came&lt;br /&gt;
  211. It&#39;ll happen&lt;br /&gt;
  212. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  213. &lt;br /&gt;
  214. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  215. &lt;/div&gt;

  220. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  221. I am not writing to boast that “Proud to be
  222. Pinoy!” moment, a cliche that&#39;s becoming annoying to me. &amp;nbsp;For me that’s too
  223. jologs. &amp;nbsp;It’s for the desperate ones who doesn’t have the means to travel
  224. outside the country. Parang ako. Lols. &lt;br /&gt;
  225. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  226. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  227. I didn’t expect that travelling to La Union would take us to
  228. experience how it was like to be in some famous global spots.&lt;br /&gt;
  229. &lt;br /&gt;
  230. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  231. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  232. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  233. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Parang Hawaii!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; But in
  234. the low end side. Station 3. Lols. &amp;nbsp;Our weekend chill first took us to the nearest
  235. surf spot from Manila – La Union! It only took us 4 hrs drive thru SCTEX and
  236. the new TPLEX.&lt;/div&gt;
  237. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  238. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  243. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  244. The best waves according to a surfer friend is from October
  245. – April. The waves when we got there were just right for beginners like them.
  246. Ehem.&lt;/div&gt;
  247. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

  251. &lt;br /&gt;
  252. &lt;br /&gt;
  253. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  254. &lt;i&gt;River (A surfer dog) photobombed us! And he’s kinda laughing
  255. prolly looking down on our surfing skills.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  256. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  257. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  263. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  264. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Parang Jamaica.&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;I am that kind who’s very particular with
  265. accommodation, but this time we tried something different. &amp;nbsp;We booked a Hammock
  266. type accommodation of Circle Hostel (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thecirclehostel.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.thecirclehostel.com/&lt;/a&gt;). &amp;nbsp;The hipster environment has that reggae vibe, that makes me wanna dance, sing
  267. with a uke… feel free… sniff in some herbs! Lols (not my thing ofcourse, but I knew a close friend whose name starts with C).&lt;/div&gt;
  268. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

  276. You will never get tired of reading uplifting quotes, almost
  277. all corners has it! &amp;nbsp;This place I
  278. recommend for the depressed people out there, there&#39;s a lot of you don&#39;t deny.&lt;/div&gt;
  279. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

  288. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Feeling Napa Valley- California.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;Yes! We can grow grapes here! &amp;nbsp;And for your information, just so you know... especially to my Italian and Chilean viewers, compared with the foreign vineyards that can only
  289. harvest once or twice a year, here in my beloved place we can harvest grapes every three
  290. months! Be threatened haha! Not to mention, we are just getting started.&lt;/div&gt;
  291. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

  300. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  301. Mr. Lomboy owner of Lomboy farms (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/LomboyFarmsResort&quot;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/LomboyFarmsResort&lt;/a&gt;) spearheaded the grape
  302. industry here in Bauang La Union. If you wish to have a tour here, don&#39;t go to him as they charge a fee of Php 100.00 per pax. &amp;nbsp;Go straight
  303. instead to the neighboring farm which doesn’t charge a fee such as Gapuz (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/GapuzGrapesFarm&quot;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/GapuzGrapesFarm&lt;/a&gt;) and others.&amp;nbsp; Just a friendly advise for kuripot like me. BECAUSE the cost
  304. itself is not worth it. &amp;nbsp;I was waiting for some educational briefing and some question and answer portion.. there was NONE.&lt;br /&gt;
  305. &lt;br /&gt;
  306. A kilo of grapes by the way would cost you Php 200, with bonus of unlimited free taste that you can sneak in while making chika to the farmer. Hehe.&lt;/div&gt;
  307. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

  311. &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Feeling Santorini,
  312. Greece.&lt;/u&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;The financial crisis version. Lols.&amp;nbsp;
  313. The Thunderbird Poro Point (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thunderbirdresortsporopoint.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.thunderbirdresortsporopoint.com/&lt;/a&gt;) is the most highend resort hotel around so we
  314. had to try it... try inquiring hehe. The resort boast for its mediterranean styled houses, that you see in Santorini. &amp;nbsp;But they&#39;re missing all the donkeys, and
  315. the bougainvilleas. &amp;nbsp;Nevertheless, the crew were all nice and friendly like us so we belong.&lt;br /&gt;
  316. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

And Your Unwavering Faith</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
  361. &amp;nbsp;“I feel good. I feel nice. I’ve never been satisfied. I’m alive! Sing!”, that’s the exact word I heard from a friend as I asked how he feel when he seen the Pope. It was his 3rd surreal encounter as he said. &amp;nbsp;Me as a non believer of Catholicism couldn&#39;t imagine myself having that same reaction seeing the Pope as for me he is just an ordinary human like me. &amp;nbsp;Sitting next to him, would be like sitting with a stranger as I don’t know his history, good deeds or whatsoever. &amp;nbsp;The Pope must be filled with holiness that had caused you such feeling, said my other friend. &amp;nbsp;It suddenly dawned on me that probably it is the same feeling I had when I got baptized from a non-catholic religion.&lt;br /&gt;
  362. &lt;br /&gt;
  363. Faith has long been a debatable topic, which I do not want to bring up without a gun in my pocket. Kidding aside, setting aside religion, we argued about how faith is earned. &amp;nbsp;Faith for me is radical, meaning you had to had this foundation or basis of your faith. It is a relationship wherein you are highly dependent on God, and his teachings. &amp;nbsp;The Bible – the God’s word is my foundation and my faith are all based into it. &amp;nbsp;Preach and teach me anything, I will believe you for as long you back it up with verses from His word.&lt;br /&gt;
  364. &lt;br /&gt;
  365. This friend of mine warned me of the trouble with radical faith, the danger that when my foundation crumbles my faith will too. &amp;nbsp; Faith needs no basis of foundation. He pointed out that even when you read the whole text of the Bible, if you disagree to get it, you won’t. &amp;nbsp;Resistance is too deceiving to be even aware what is beyond. &amp;nbsp;My other friend added that sometimes you just have to trust, without facts. &amp;nbsp;There may come a time that we’ll encounter inexplicable events, like the feeling of holiness during Pope’s presence, but all we have to do is to trust and have faith. &lt;br /&gt;
  366. &lt;br /&gt;
  367. So come the conclusion that I have to contemplate on this matter, as there’s no forever winner in this battle. &amp;nbsp;I went downstairs, there I see my brother watching over television in full volume. When I went back, I heard one of the Papal lead shouting “ Papa Francisco wave!”. I heard it several times. &amp;nbsp;This got me thinking, if my faith dictates to shout praises to him I will do incessantly. &amp;nbsp;So I leave my friends the same message via messenger “Papa Francisco wave!”, but nobody replies as if nobody cares. &lt;br /&gt;
  368. &lt;br /&gt;
  369. Not so long ago, I was reading the book of The Art of Thinking Clearly. One article talks about “Social Proof &amp;nbsp;- If Fifty Million People Say Something Foolish, It Is Still Foolish”. &amp;nbsp;In a nutshell, the article tells about the human thinking that by nature we deem to follow what the majority does, even without underlying support or reason for our choices. &amp;nbsp;So what is a true faith for you?&lt;br /&gt;
  370. &lt;br /&gt;
  371. &lt;br /&gt;
  372. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  374. &lt;br /&gt;
  375. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  376. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;I learned to live day by day and that
  377. tomorrow is never a promise, and yesterday are yesterdays. I’ve learned to
  378. control over my life, and that your life will only work if you take full control of it. I’ve learned to plant love more than anything, but you must love yourself above all else. I’ve learned to
  379. open my doors when somebody’s knocking; and to give a tip when somebody’s doing
  380. a good job.&amp;nbsp; You&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;wouldn&#39;t&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;know you might
  381. be saving&amp;nbsp;someone else’s life. I’ve learned to invest in friendship, a
  382. friendship you can celebrate your life with, and the kind of friendship that
  383. will make you feel you exist. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I’ve
  384. learned that you are the beginning and the end of your parent’s suffering. You
  385. owe them kindness and unconditional love they deserve nothing more, and it is
  386. plain simple. I’ve learned to cry when I feel it’s the only salvation; and I
  387. thank God for this wondrous gift that heals a wounded heart. I’ve learned that
  388. no matter how down you feel at times, you have to smile and live with spirit. We
  389. all struggle but we have to continue to live the shadow of the life everyone
  390. else has. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  391. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

  409. Hello! &amp;nbsp;It&#39;s been months of silence, no updates coming from this blog. &amp;nbsp;Anyway, just wanted to write something quick as the past months has been crazy for me really! &lt;br /&gt;
  410. &lt;br /&gt;
  411. &lt;b&gt;Positive things that happened #1 (Cling!)&lt;/b&gt; - I passed and was qualified to enter a graduate course at the University of the Philippines. &amp;nbsp;I am attending classes now with 6 units. &amp;nbsp;I take the 3 units on early morning saturday, the other 3 on spooky monday night. &amp;nbsp;My golly, can&#39;t believe it nobody&#39;s inviting me to join a ride at my night class. Humanda sila di ko sila bibigyan ng discount sa auto supply namin hihih.&lt;br /&gt;
  412. &lt;br /&gt;
  413. &lt;b&gt;Positive things that happened #2 (Caching!) &lt;/b&gt;- Miraculous! &amp;nbsp;Cannot believe it in my own very eyes, my beloved company can give an above 20% increase for someone like me who never leaves facebook unattended.&lt;br /&gt;
  414. &lt;br /&gt;
  415. &lt;b&gt;Positive things that happened #3 (Caching!) &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;- To flyyyy is everything! &amp;nbsp;Most especially when someones carrying your luggage for you. &amp;nbsp;Okay, been with 4 travel trips 1 is still coming, and I&#39;d never paid 100% of the cost. &amp;nbsp;Friendships truly are a blessings. &amp;nbsp;Just back yourself up with some art of social climbing you wouldn&#39;t pay a 100% , never again.&lt;br /&gt;
  416. &lt;br /&gt;
  417. &lt;b&gt;Positive things that happened #4 (Cling!) &lt;/b&gt;- My hardwork pays off. &amp;nbsp;I was awarded Q4 Heroes for demonstrating excellence at work! &amp;nbsp;Love your work, it won&#39;t love you back yes.... but you have no choice but to love it or else you&#39;re making 60% of your daily life miserable. Poor you.&lt;br /&gt;
  418. &lt;br /&gt;
  419. &lt;b&gt;Positive things that happened #5 (Cling!)&lt;/b&gt; - My beautiful sister gave birth to my very first beautiful nephew. &amp;nbsp;What a beautiful world it is for us!&lt;br /&gt;
  420. &lt;br /&gt;
  421. Yes! A lucky year for me that was, take note this is just the mid year. &amp;nbsp;I am too excited for what&#39;s in store for the coming days. &amp;nbsp;I appreciate you my dear Lord for all the blessings, even the simple ones like when I washed my clothes and hung them. &amp;nbsp;I always pick the exact number of hangers equal to the number of clothes I&#39;ve washed. &amp;nbsp;Can you imagine?&lt;br /&gt;
  422. &lt;br /&gt;
  423. Hope you reading this are well blessed too. &amp;nbsp;To God be the glory! &lt;br /&gt;
  424. &lt;br /&gt;
  425. Love you!&lt;br /&gt;
  426. &lt;br /&gt;

  435. It’s a miracle! &amp;nbsp;I spent my weekend at home. &amp;nbsp;I have no money what can I do hihih.&lt;br /&gt;
  436. &lt;br /&gt;
  437. I am so broke. &amp;nbsp;I want to earn more but no I can’t I am just an ordinary office employee excited for his monthly payouts. &amp;nbsp;It’s still 5 days before pay day and I only have more or less Php 500 on my wallet. It fits my fishy wallet look.&lt;br /&gt;
  438. &lt;div&gt;
  439. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  440. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  441. &lt;a href=&quot;http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8247/8626635079_f7327efec1_b.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;424&quot; src=&quot;http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8247/8626635079_f7327efec1_b.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  442. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  443. &lt;/div&gt;
  444. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  445. I switched my wallet to this just so I can find reason not to bring my ATMs and credit cards all the time. &amp;nbsp;I have the tendency to overspend, not on shopping no no but mostly on foods and groceries. &amp;nbsp;So while on job hunting mode, I’ll be using this one.&lt;/div&gt;
  446. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  447. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  448. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  449. Now in for the good news, God is so good! &amp;nbsp;My own Bombay my cat gave birth to a 7 healthy babies. &amp;nbsp;I will sell them all to make money wohoo!&lt;/div&gt;

  468. My sister will also give birth this coming June wohoo!!! &amp;nbsp;But no we will not sell her baby. &amp;nbsp;I wanted to become the best Uncle to her - this is the first grandchildren of my parents you know, the first of its kind. &amp;nbsp;I need to earn more to support them.&lt;/div&gt;
  469. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;

  471. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  472. I remember, I bought my preggy sister an Anmum the folate milk. Cause she was like telling me in a subtle way that she cannot afford to buy one at that time. &amp;nbsp;Being the best brother, ehem, I know her situation even without telling me so go I swiped the CC. &amp;nbsp;It’s too expensive, 5 times the equivalent of non-formula milk. &amp;nbsp;When the bill came, I cannot fully pay cause I have other dues on the pipeline.&lt;/div&gt;
  473. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  474. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  475. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  476. I don’t want this to happen again. &amp;nbsp;I resign! Need to fatten up my skinny fishy wallet.&lt;/div&gt;
  477. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;

  496. We’ve been invited by a friend to meet up with her fiancé. &amp;nbsp;There’s no exact venue yet where we will get together, yet me and my another assuming friend had decided that it would be better if we go biking to MOA since we’ve thought we’ll meet up somewhere near or in Dampa where mostly foreigners are being toured for local Filipino dish.&lt;br /&gt;
  497. &lt;br /&gt;
  498. It was late afternoon when we left Malate. &amp;nbsp;The sun is just peeking through the clouds. &amp;nbsp;The time was just right to escape the burning heat of the sun especially now that it’s summer.&lt;br /&gt;
  499. &lt;br /&gt;

  513. I am happy that the striking manila bay sunset joined us on this ride. &amp;nbsp;It felt so peaceful.&lt;/div&gt;
  514. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  515. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  516. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  517. Not until we phoned our friend for the meeting place. They are waiting for us in Makati. &amp;nbsp;My golly, once I heard I fall on deaf ears. &amp;nbsp;It’s a long way there. &amp;nbsp;Not just long but dangerous. &amp;nbsp;We had to pass the hustle and bustle street of EDSA. &amp;nbsp;And when you said EDSA, it’s deadly with the buses and trucks around, and the pollution that enters your lungs.&lt;/div&gt;
  518. &lt;div&gt;

  524. &lt;div&gt;
  525. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  526. We had to carry our bikes to climb the overpass and cross some streets. &amp;nbsp;EDSA is not bicycle-friendly at all. &amp;nbsp;I see no bike lane on bound to north. &amp;nbsp;Hello, government yuhuu... it&#39;s about time to promote cycling to save not just the environment but ourselves from loose fatty saggy legs. &amp;nbsp;Please allocate space for cyclist!&lt;/div&gt;

  538. Wohoo! We survived safely and stinky. Hihihi. I just hope this British finds us fresh not smelly.&lt;br /&gt;

  556. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  557. This is one of those last minute travels that turned out to
  558. be much fun!&amp;nbsp; We don’t have plans, we
  559. didn’t travel by the book but instead we let the road lead us to surprise.&amp;nbsp; At 10 AM Friday, a missed call from a friend
  560. awakens me.&amp;nbsp; I read the text message to
  561. rush to Cubao station for a 2PM bus ride.&amp;nbsp;
  562. So I packed all my things for a 2 days trip, brought 3k budget with me
  563. and go.&lt;/div&gt;
  564. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  565. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  566. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  567. &lt;/div&gt;
  568. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  569. Lucky me a friend has access to stay all for free at a
  570. forest lodge at Camp John Hay.&amp;nbsp; We saved
  571. plenty of money staying in this comfy place, a 6 bedroom lodge, surrounded by
  572. the refreshing view of pine trees, overlooking a golf course.&lt;/div&gt;
  573. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  574. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  575. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

  585. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  586. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  587. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  588. It’s below 20 degrees, so we took this as an excuse to wear
  589. our bonnets and long sleeved shirts.&amp;nbsp;
  590. It’s not common in Manila to wear those.&lt;/div&gt;
  591. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

  597. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  598. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  599. &lt;br /&gt;

  603. garden where I can grow herbs and flowers.&amp;nbsp;

And the secret cause behind</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;
  742. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  743. I still have that horrible cough I blogged about on my first
  744. post of the year.&amp;nbsp; My mom is beginning
  745. get worried, and so I went to the doctor to have myself checked.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The lucky nurse who attended me in the
  746. hospital had informed me that I am late for the outpatient check up for I
  747. arrived near the cut-off.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&quot;Maybe you can
  748. squeeze me in the lineup&quot;, I told him.&amp;nbsp; &quot;You can go to the ER&quot; he said.&amp;nbsp; I
  749. thought, what I am gonna do in the ER?&lt;/div&gt;
  750. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  751. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  752. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  753. So I approached another mega lucky nurse in the ER, they let
  754. me seat for a while.&amp;nbsp; They check my blood
  755. pressure, and weigh me (I am 163 lbs now ehem! A big progress from 6 months
  756. back where I am 178 lbs) and asked some questions to help and find cure.&amp;nbsp; To my surprise this ultra-mega lucky nurse
  757. pushing a wheel chair approached me “sit here Mr.”&amp;nbsp; I was like are you talking to me, but then
  758. there’s no other else around so I seated.&amp;nbsp;
  759. And he pushed.&amp;nbsp; I turned red all-through
  760. the ride . Well I am glad they didn’t ask to remove my clothes when they captured my x-ray.&amp;nbsp; That was a short ride that felt
  761. so long.&lt;/div&gt;
  762. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  763. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  764. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  765. Then the same nurse drive me back the ER and escorted me to
  766. the stretcher. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;What is this? Not again.&amp;nbsp; Can’t they see I am not critical I went here
  767. all by myself!!!&amp;nbsp; Then&amp;nbsp; another ultra-mega-to-the-max lucky nurse put me to a nebulizer.&amp;nbsp; I can’t
  768. talk anymore so I just let them do what they are tasked to do.&amp;nbsp; Another super-duper-mega-ultra-to-the-max lucky
  769. nurse came and extracted my blood for CBC.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  770. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  771. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  772. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  773. Finally, I heard somebody calling my health insurance. It seems they
  774. were putting me to inpatient case.&amp;nbsp; Funny
  775. that was, so that’s what behind the special treatment.&lt;/div&gt;
  776. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  777. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  778. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  779. &lt;/div&gt;
  780. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  781. The diagnosis?&amp;nbsp;
  782. Allergies from the sudden change of weather, and from &lt;i&gt;no precise
  783. allergens&lt;/i&gt; -&amp;nbsp; the doctor said.&amp;nbsp; And he asked another follow up questions to support his findings.&lt;/div&gt;
  784. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  785. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  786. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  787. Well, sometimes you had to say no for an answer.&lt;/div&gt;
  788. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  789. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  904. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  905. Me, not being a fan of skyscrapers would look up to a
  906. skyline as beautiful as those that you see on postcards from Europe.&amp;nbsp; Remember the scene when Johnny Depp was running
  907. away from an Italian cops in the movie The Tourist?&amp;nbsp; When he jumped off a terrace and escape by
  908. running from one clay tiled roof house to another?&amp;nbsp; That was beauty, so romantic you will fell in love with the place.&lt;/div&gt;
  909. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  910. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  912. &lt;/div&gt;
  913. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  914. A europish??? skyline is what I wanted.&amp;nbsp; Something that has mega churches, a clock tower
  915. and red toned roofs.&lt;br /&gt;

  1080. Wohoo! &amp;nbsp;Welcome 2013. &amp;nbsp;Awoo! Awoo!&lt;br /&gt;
  1081. &lt;br /&gt;
  1082. 2012 is not so special year for me. &amp;nbsp;The year was mostly consumed by work 3x. &amp;nbsp;Nevertheless, I am extremely thankful to God almighty that he protected my family from any severe illness. &amp;nbsp; My family were all in good health; plus my sister is pregnant I am going to be a Tito this year! &lt;br /&gt;
  1083. &lt;br /&gt;
  1084. I would never have guessed flu will pick the last day of the year to visit me. &amp;nbsp;Thought I’ll mark 2012 as my first ever ill-free year, but sadly it chose this day for me to lay down and rest while everybody else’s celebrating. &amp;nbsp; But no, I need to do something productive before the year ends. &amp;nbsp;So I got up and declutter! &amp;nbsp; It wouldn’t call for much strength to cause a relapse.&lt;br /&gt;
  1085. &lt;br /&gt;
  1086. My clothes are no longer smashed in pile. &amp;nbsp;The closet spaces were now maximized.&lt;br /&gt;

  1106. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1107. Shelves were arranged.&amp;nbsp;
  1108. I experimented with different arrangement until all things work and look

  1110. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/91745284@N02/8332696803/&quot; title=&quot;Shelves by JackOBubbly, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Shelves&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; src=&quot;http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8073/8332696803_d2463a060a.jpg&quot; width=&quot;332&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

  1117. &lt;br /&gt;
  1118. With this little accomplishment I ended the day happy! &lt;br /&gt;
  1119. &lt;br /&gt;
  1120. Now on the serious part. &amp;nbsp;Have you realize the more stuff you have, the more difficult you put this things to order? &amp;nbsp;There are things you keep that of little use&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 15.555556297302246px;&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;but consumed most spaces.&lt;br /&gt;
  1121. &lt;br /&gt;
  1122. Well, I started the year with this entry, to remind me to eliminate my mess and only focus on things that really matter to me&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;those that bring meaning to my life. &amp;nbsp;I had to admit, my life is a mess at some point. &lt;br /&gt;
  1123. &lt;br /&gt;
  1124. Promises most of the times are difficult to keep. &amp;nbsp;I am not setting any goals for the year; but I am writing in this form&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;a reminder, just in case I fail again and there is somewhat something will tap me “oops, you did it again”. &amp;nbsp;And I will start again, move forward, declutter until I completely surrender &amp;nbsp;and breath… finally I made it!&lt;br /&gt;
  1125. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1126. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1127. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1128. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1129. Cheers!&lt;/div&gt;
  1130. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1131. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1132. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1133. Jack&lt;/div&gt;
  1134. &lt;br /&gt;
  1135. &lt;br /&gt;
  1136. &lt;br /&gt;
  1137. &lt;br /&gt;
  1138. &lt;div&gt;

  1141. Voila!  I cooked the very first dish that I learned to cook (ofcourse I know how to cook fried eggs, this doesn&#39;t count). &amp;nbsp;I call it &quot;Linguine pasta dressed with extra virgin olive oil in fresh basil pesto sauce with baked baby potatoes and authentic hungarian sausages sprinkled generously with parmesan cheese and oozing peppery pepper and crispy garlic bits.&quot;  
  1142.  
  1143. &lt;br /&gt;

  1147. Whew, I just hope the long complicated name justifies the taste. &amp;nbsp;The ingredients are all there. &amp;nbsp;So just mix mix mix! Hihihi. &lt;br /&gt;
  1148. &lt;br /&gt;
  1149. Cheers!&lt;br /&gt;

  1154. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1155. My life, it had turned out-of-tune lately.&amp;nbsp; Before, I had fun playing music and singing
  1156. all day.&amp;nbsp; Now my voice gets a little
  1157. rough.&amp;nbsp; Did the wine manifest its adverse
  1158. effect? &amp;nbsp;Did insufficient sleep cause this diaphragm to contract? &amp;nbsp;Or was it because I am getting old? &amp;nbsp;Well it’s
  1159. never too late to vocalize, so let’s do this!&lt;/div&gt;
  1160. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1161. &lt;br /&gt;
  1162. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  1163. &lt;a class=&quot;preview&quot; href=&quot;http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab271/JackNDBeanstalk/DSC02986.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;207&quot; src=&quot;http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab271/JackNDBeanstalk/DSC02986.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1164. &lt;br /&gt;
  1165. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1166. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1167. &lt;/div&gt;
  1168. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1169. &lt;br /&gt;
  1170. &lt;br /&gt;
  1171. &lt;br /&gt;
  1172. &lt;br /&gt;
  1173. &lt;br /&gt;
  1174. &lt;br /&gt;
  1175. &lt;br /&gt;
  1176. &lt;br /&gt;
  1177. &lt;br /&gt;
  1178. &lt;br /&gt;
  1179. I come to an idea to set my very own 10 commandments. &amp;nbsp;These
  1180. 10 commandments will serve as my guiding principles - measurable principles
  1181. that I learned through experience, had great influence to my own definition of
  1182. happiness. &lt;/div&gt;
  1183. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1184. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1185. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1186. From this day on, I promise to abide these 10 commandments:&lt;/div&gt;
  1187. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1188. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1189. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1190. 1.&amp;nbsp; Leave the donuts
  1191. at work. I pity those who bring the donuts at home. Don’t you find that special
  1192. sweetness at home, not just at work?&lt;/div&gt;
  1193. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1194. 2. &amp;nbsp;Do not ever flip
  1195. the calendar backwards. Don’t focus on the past, just move forward.&lt;/div&gt;
  1196. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1197. 3. Never fry two eggs all at once, or else you’ll get a
  1198. scramble. Do it one step at a time. Take it easy.&lt;/div&gt;
  1199. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1200. 4. Kiss that mama goodbye. If not in a hurry, give her XOXO.
  1201. Show your family more love.&lt;/div&gt;
  1202. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1203. 5. Feeling invisible is not bad as you might think about it.
  1204. Invisibility tops the choice of supernatural powers. Be real, live with
  1205. passion, and get lost in the trend.&amp;nbsp; It
  1206. doesn’t make you less as a person when your shoes are not branded.&lt;/div&gt;
  1207. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1208. 7. Life has so many questions. Do not limit yourself to ask
  1209. for more.&lt;/div&gt;
  1210. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1211. 8. Go for a no-diet weight loss approach called “Lifestyle
  1212. change”.&lt;/div&gt;
  1213. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1214. 9. Begin the day with a goal to be peaceful. Leave the day
  1215. with an accomplished task, from a very simple changing your bed sheets, to a
  1216. more complex like learning a new piece of music. Wouldn’t it be nice to sleep
  1217. with fresh pillows and with good music putting you to a lullaby?&lt;/div&gt;
  1218. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1219. 10. Connect with friends. A simple hi hello everyday will
  1220. do.&lt;/div&gt;
  1221. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1222. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1223. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1224. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1225. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1226. So help me God.&lt;/div&gt;
  1227. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1228. &lt;br /&gt;
  1229. Cheers!&lt;/div&gt;
  1230. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1231. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1232. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1233. Jack&lt;/div&gt;
  1234. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

  1237. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1238. The other week I spent a long vacation in the islands of
  1239. Coron Palawan. I am with some friends, and friends of friends for that matter.
  1240. Of course they’re now my friends too.&lt;/div&gt;
  1241. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

  1256. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1257. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1258. With all the fun shots we had on that beautiful island, I’d
  1259. come to an idea to participate to DOT’s campaign and create my own “It’s More
  1260. Fun in the Philippines” meme. In this own little way, I can help promote our
  1261. local tourism. I hope.&lt;/div&gt;
  1262. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1263. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1264. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1265. Philippines is an archipelago - composed of chains of
  1266. islands surrounded by water. Primarily, the marine resources are our source of livelihood.
  1267. We can boast for the variety of sea creatures we have and that what makes it
  1268. more fun living here!&lt;/div&gt;
  1269. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1270. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  1424. &lt;br /&gt;
  1425. Yesterday, I started my day with a smile, smiling at my mother welcoming me on a new day.&lt;br /&gt;
  1426. &lt;br /&gt;
  1427. &lt;i&gt;Mama: &amp;nbsp;You look bloated. Your face beginning to look like palanggana (basin)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1428. &lt;i&gt;Me: &amp;nbsp; T__T&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1429. &lt;br /&gt;
  1430. So I went to the office a little frustrated. At some point, I began thinking what happened the other night. And this what happened:&lt;br /&gt;
  1431. &lt;br /&gt;
  1432. While I am on my way home, in the jeepney; I hand over my pamasahe to this man sitting beside me. He courteously gave the pamasahe to the driver and returned the change to me.&lt;br /&gt;
  1433. &lt;br /&gt;
  1434. There’s nothing unusual about this, but there is about the man. His nose, it almost occupy the entire population of his face! &amp;nbsp;I smiled alone losing sanity remembering this. I am glad my face is just a palanggana while this man is turning into an elephant.&lt;br /&gt;
  1435. &lt;br /&gt;
  1436. Forgive me. I don’t intend to hurt somebody’s feelings. I just need a good laugh. Peace!&lt;br /&gt;
  1437. &lt;br /&gt;
  1438. I know this is not a good joke either.&lt;br /&gt;
  1439. &lt;br /&gt;
  1440. &lt;br /&gt;

This post is late. I haven’t got a chance to have time for myself, even on weekends I work. Anyway, thanks to the following people who have invited me to take some of my time off to breathe for a while, and cool down my burnt out self.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

We should have form a star circle club instead Lol. I felt little around these two. &lt;a href=&quot;http://lifeiskulayful.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Ms. Kulayful&lt;/a&gt;, a former model, is as height as me and &lt;a href=&quot;http://andrew-alvaran.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Mr. Irresponsible&lt;/a&gt; is tall he’s 6’3. &amp;nbsp;I feel at ease with these people maybe it has something to do with our likeness in physical aspect Lol. We’ve talked as if we’ve known each other before. I am looking forward to meeting you again.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1518. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;The next saturday, I met with my barkada which I haven’t met since December of last year. I organized the meet –up and decided to try MSE again. I am over-eager with this meeting and flooded my friends with messages that we should be complete but as usual, the 4 kaladkarins were only present.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

For that reason, I arrived 1 and half hour late and did not make any reservations Lol. We waited for a while until our turn to calm down our already growling stomach.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1522. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;I’ve known them for more than 8 years.

I was invited by a friend from circa 70’s to join her and her friend to watch and hear the performance of the Madrigal singers and to observe as well how leisure are spent on their generation. I also got interested because I’ve been waiting for the Madrigal choir to discover my God-given talent ehem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I felt kinda sad. So this is the feeling when you’ve been neglected and sent to the home for the aged.

She’s from a different team and had been a friend of mine for more than three years. I don’t have any choice as she’s seating right next to me Lol. And I don’t mingle that much with my team-mate because they are my competition Lol. Kidding aside, she’s a friend who you should have and very rare to find. There had been several times I’ve asked her of her talent, and was told nothing but an “I don’t know” answer. You know Esperanza, you have this wonderful gift of wisdom to share relevant advises to people. No wonder you have plenty of friends with whom made you feel complete even you have NBSB. Lol. Please let me still ride your car on my way to home. Nice meeting you again Joy!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  1543. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;I’ll tell you this story I have. If most makes fun of yaya, my story is different.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1544. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1545. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1546. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1547. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1548. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;I grew up with a family of conservative type. I grew up wearing pyjamas at night, praying before meals and having a 2X3 hairstyle. Prior to our migration to Manila, my family resides at a town far from the barrio center. It will take us almost an hour and a half jeepney drive to get us to the barrio. Hence, due to accessibility, my yaya whom we called “Nana Bambay” had learned hair cutting and became our resident Barbero. She cut our hair exactly every two weeks to keep me and my brother’s hair short. To make us look neat and notable as what my strict Mom intend us to become at school. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1549. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1550. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1551. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  1552. &lt;a class=&quot;preview&quot; href=&quot;http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab271/JackNDBeanstalk/Creepy%20Yaya/pic1-1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;178&quot; src=&quot;http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab271/JackNDBeanstalk/Creepy%20Yaya/pic1-1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1553. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  1554. &lt;i&gt;From left-to-right: Lolo Fred, My Mom, Great Grand Lolo Prosing, Nana Bambay (Yaya)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1555. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1556. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1557. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1558. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;This yaya of mine practices similar routine a regular barbero does. Like prior to cutting, she wraps this “Good Morning” towel around my neck. After the cut, she then brushes off the fallen hair with a powder. Then, ended patting my head down with green colored liquid, that I find the smell nice and addicting. She had proven herself good and better than the male barbero who had cut my hair before.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;This had become a custom&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
  1559. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1560. &lt;br /&gt;
  1561. My brother moved to Manila; and alongside another heartbreak occurred causing my Mom and Dad to get separated. I saw my Mom rushing, with a scissor on her hand. Mom pitched the scissor like bowing an arrow, the core target is my Dad. The scissors did not reach in full length as my Mom got distracted of my yaya screaming all her heart out, NO!!! The scissors got covered by blood of an innocent chicken flying off her way to escape the screaming. I dashed and pulled out the scissors off the poor chicken. My yaya took it from me, she was shaking and I was nervous. I haven’t slept peacefully that night. The chicken’s hatchlings are all chirping the entire night seeking for their mom’s comfort. I do need it as well, I can speak about the same feeling they are feeling. The feeling of losing somebody.&lt;/div&gt;
  1562. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1563. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1564. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1565. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1566. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;Mom and I stayed in the house with our yaya. From that day on, we lived a quiet life unparalleled to what we used to have before. The tradition of cutting my hair remains still. My yaya had been sweet as ever that in some ways I felt she is filling in the love I am longing that I felt somehow my Mom is lacking. My Mom seldom smile since that tragic moment.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1567. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1568. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1569. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1570. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1571. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;My yaya cut my hair again, that time I was 16 and graduating. Yaya is already on her mid-60s. I noticed the scissors are now rusty. She garbed the handle with white cloth that is already yellowish with red stain in it. It might have been done to prevent hurting her bony hardworking hands. Cutting my hair with it creates a tingling feeling and it is becoming unbearable already. I asked her to stop, my hair is almost done. Upon leaving, I look back to say goodbye and received nothing but a blank stare. Was she mad? I didn&#39;t care. I left to go to the barrio to find a substitute.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1572. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1573. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1574. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;A week after, after Mom and I came back from my commencement exercise; my motherly yaya – Nana Bambay, we found &amp;nbsp;her unconscious, and not breathing. &amp;nbsp;We found a scissors couple of inches afar from her hand, where she is lying. Her mouth was foaming it seems like she had been poisoned. The first thing I did upon seeing her is to search her room to grab her medicine. &amp;nbsp;She has history of epilepsy. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1575. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1576. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1577. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1578. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1579. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;What surprises me is the bucket of hair strands scattered all over her room. On the floor, on her pillows and sticking up the ceiling. I opened her bible, a bunch of hair tied with strings was there. I was crying all the while then I got goose bumps. I phoned our relatives to seek some help, rushed in the toilet to wash my face and to slot in a deep breath. I flushed the basin. Countless hair strands appears as it was stopping the water from draining down the drain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1580. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1581. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1582. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1583. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1584. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1585. A week after yaya’s interment, mom was looking for her replacement. The house has been quiet as before, the only difference is the quietness gives me the creeps which I haven’t previously felt. The debut was two weeks after yaya’s death. I smell the smell of this green liquid fuming around our dining area where my yaya used to cut my hair in front of this tall mirror. This occurs recurrently every two weeks - exactly the same time yaya schedule to cut my hair. At night, sleeping time, a chirping scissors sound sometimes blows to my ear which I keep on trying to believe that it was just the hatchling outside chirping, begging for food. I also got paranoid of flushing the toilet imagining that hairs will flow instead of water. Was this a continuance of her service to us? I can’t thank her more than enough.&lt;/div&gt;
  1586. &lt;/div&gt;
  1587. &lt;/div&gt;
  1588. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1589. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1590. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1591. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1592. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;I and my mom had decided to move to Manila for a new beginning. When we got in to Manila to my brother’s house, we bought a cat and named her after yaya. We called her &lt;a href=&quot;http://jackobubbly.blogspot.com/2010/09/misunderstood-cat.html&quot;&gt;Bombay&lt;/a&gt;. This cat has excessive hairfall, is that normal? Or it has something to do with this ghost story I made up. Hmm. I can see the connection. Lol.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1593. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1594. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1595. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1596. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1597. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;This is the actual photo of my Mom and our actual Yaya (we treat her as part of the family, we don&#39;t call her yaya. She looks creepy noh?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  1609. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;Oops. Sorry Mama. I used you as the yaya in my made-up story again. The girl in the first photo, the one in the right-most, &amp;nbsp;is actually my Mom on her twenties not Nana Bambay of this story.&amp;nbsp;The little girl is my cousin and ninang as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

We seldom bump into each other; the last time was I think more than a year ago?. You haven’t changed a lot from the last time we’ve met, I mean physically. You still look strained. Have you slept? I am happy you can spare little of your money now for the line of job you do; as what you said - it’s an investment.&amp;nbsp; A 15 pesos end-to-end MRT ride is no guarantee of returns, but you gamble. I am proud of you. Sometimes you really need to put money at stake in hope that it will double in the future. You are right there, millionaires aint afraid to gamble. It&#39;s one of the secrets of getting rich.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sorry if it has little scratches in it, I am not careful handling things. But, I bought it just June of last year. That phone didn’t reach anniversary at my hand. I am glad the bill does – it will be fully paid by June this year. Anyhow, you can have it. I am doing this for charity you know. Please do acknowledge me, I need it for publicity.

I am not paying for that as I usually do. So I called HSBC hotline yesterday to waive it. They have new policy now compared last year. You need to purchase at least Php 5K worth of anything to get waived; last year you just have to swipe/use your card 5 times. Wise decision, Php 5K is too much to some they will earn interest.&lt;br /&gt;
  1630. &lt;br /&gt;
  1631. So I called 85-800, a lady attended my call and then left her goodbye and thank you. After the call I shouted “Oh no, I have to go shopping!”, then sang out loud this song in my mind – Don’t Worry Be Happy (Bobby McFerrin). I sang it with full emotion while flicking my fingers. It took me around 10 seconds until I realized somebody was laughing. It was the agent’s voice coming from the phone’s loud speaker. She told me I can hang the phone now and I said I’m sorry. I mistakenly pressed the loud speaker!!! I was ashamed of myself.&lt;br /&gt;
