Christmas Eve 2009

Good evening!

I can feel na fulfilled naman ako ngayong taong ito. Kung tutuusin, napakaraming blessings na ang mga dumating sa akin. I am so grateful dahil masaya pa rin ako sa buhay na tinatahak ko.

Napakarami na ring pagsubok ang dumagok sa akin. But I never gave up to fight all of the obstacles na dumating. At heto, I'm a survivor!

Marami na ring dumaang mga pangyayari sa buhay ng ibang tao. Nandoon na yung pagsalanta ng mga bagyong Ondoy at Pepeng, ang malagim na Maguindanao massacre, ang pag-alburoto ng Mayon, at marami pa. Pero I'm still na nakayanan pa rin ng mga taong pilit na nakikiasabay sa takbo ng mundong ito.

Ang mga blessings? Many to mention. Were those worth it? Oo naman!

Kanina nga pala ay nag-serve ako sa High Mass ng Holy Mass nang hindi ko inaasahan. Hindi na nga ako nakasama sa Santa Claus Parade ng San Bartolome. Ni hindi rin ako nakasama sa Christmas Eve Celebration ng San Exequiel. At least, God permitted me to serve him sa Holy Family dahil doon naman ako talaga unang nanilbihan. For 5 years sa pagiging altar server, alam kong worth naman ang posisyon ko doon kahit na marami ring mga nangyari sa akin bilang knight.

Thank God kung hindi dahil sa Kanya, everything would not be possible. At kay Bro, Siya nga ang Star ng Pasko!

Leadership

Good evening.

Hindi ko inaasahang mapapa-blog ako ng ganito.

LEADERSHIP.

What is leadership?

According to English Wikipedia, it has been described as “process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task”. Alan Keith of Genentech states that, "Leadership is ultimately about creating a way for people to contribute to making something extraordinary happen." According to Ken "SKC" Ogbonnia, "effective leadership is the ability to successfully integrate and maximize available resources within the internal and external environment for the attainment of organizational or societal goals." According to Ann Marie E. McSwain, Assistant Professor at Lincoln University, “leadership is about capacity: the capacity of leaders to listen and observe, to use their expertise as a starting point to encourage dialogue between all levels of decision-making, to establish processes and transparency in decision-making, to articulate their own values and visions clearly but not impose them. Leadership is about setting and not just reacting to agendas, identifying problems, and initiating change that makes for substantive improvement rather than managing change.”

Indeed, this is my topic for this evening.

Naging leader na rin ako sa college classroom, pati na rin sa iba kong affiliated organisations. Ikanga, pinilit kong makisama noon sa mga ka-miyembro ko kahit na marami rin akong pagkakamali. Dahil naniniwala ako sa kasabihang "a good leader must me a good follower". Naramdaman ko rin yun sa isang kong kakilalang leader na halos napupuno na rin sa mga miyembro niya. Oo, isa ako sa mga pasaway niyang members. Pero never kong inisip na iwanan ko nang tuluyan yung grupo, kahit na sabihin nilang busy rin ako sa mga iba kong affiliations. Alam kong, may inaasahan siya sa akin na task ko as a member dahil hindi para sa kanya yung gagawin ko, kung hindi para sa Pinakamataas sa amin. Pero yun nga, may mga ilang bagay ako na hindi ko rin puwedeng iwanan. But I really can't let go of the affiliations na sinalihan ko.

I guess, dapat ko ko na lang baguhin sa sarili ko yung ugali ko lalo na yung pagiging isip-bata ko dahil alam kong may mga naiinis sa akin, bagay naman na nakakaabot sa akin. And I am very aware of it. Pero alam ko sa sarili kong wala akong intensyong gumanti ng masama sa kanila. But instead, pipilitin ko pa rin silang unawain. Pero dapat ko ring isama yung naisin na baguhin ang sarili ko. Oo, masarap maging bata sa image, pero dapat rin akong magpaka-mature at dapat din ako lalong matutong makiramdam sa mga viewpoint ng iba.

I guess, hanggang dito na muna. Baka tamarin na rin yung mga posibleng makabasa nito. Ang masasabi ko lang, another big lesson ang araw na ito para sa akin. At sa leader na binabanggit ko, huwag na sana siyang bumaba sa puwesto dahil he's worth na mamuno sa amin, lalo na't kapatid na rin ang turing niya sa amin at hindi rin siya nagkulang sa pamamalakad niya sa amin. In my little way, sisikapin kong baguhin ang sarili ko. Hindi man 100% ang promise, I am certain that Bro will help to amend my life as his servant.

SEMP Grand Choir and SBP Paskong Paslit 2009

Good evening!

Haist, sandali lang yung tulog ko kanina. Imagine, after ng caroling namin ay hindi na ako natulog. Ka-bonding ko rin kasi yung friend ko kagabi dahil never pa kaming nagkaroon ng mahabang bonding. Sayang nga lang dahil hindi namin kasama yung isa naming friend na tinuring ko na ring best friend ko.

After ng bonding moments ay umuwi muna ako sandali para maghilamos at magpalit ng damit para pumunta sa simbang gabi sa San Exequiel. Supposedly sana ay hindi ako aakyat sa service dahil hindi naman ako na-assign para nga doon. Pero noong malapit nang magsimula yung mass, wala pa rin yung ibang tenor. Eh paano, mga "enggalotz"! Kaya ako muna ang nag-substitute. Buti at may bass, alto at soprano sa amin before nag-start yung misa. Aside sa aming Living Hope, naroon din ang Coro de San Lorenzo, Bigkis, at Exequiellian Voices. Buti nga't nandoon yung classmate ko noong elementary na taga Coro. Imagine, saka ko lang siya naging ka-close noong nagtagpo uli kami! At di-kalaunan ay dumating na rin yung ibang tenor pati yung president namin na bass. At least, naranasan ko ring makapag-serve na kasama yung iba't ibang choir members from different groups.

After ng misa ay super uwi na ako at nagpahinga sandali. After lunch ay pumunta na ako sa San Bartolome para sa paskong paslit. In fairness, ang daming bata na super kulit ever. But it was worth it na napasaya naming mga youth ministers ang mga kapos-palad na kabataan. After all, it's our obligation na tumulong sa kanila in accordance of the corporal works of mercy.

After ng activity, nagkaroon naman kaming mga youth ministers ng pagkakataon na makapagpahinga at magkaroon ng kaunting bonding. In my case, medyo nawalan ako ng kuneksyon sa kanila. Kaya sisikapin ko pa ring maka-bonding uli sila, lalo na't tapos na ako ng pag-aaral at marami na akong oras para bumawi naman.

At heto, kakauwi ko lang. Mamayang madaling araw naman ay service ng choir group ko. Oo, nga pala... kailan ko makukuha yung uniform ko?

After Almost 5 Years... AGAIN AND AGAIN!

Good evening!



Si Jung Eui Chul (정의철) yung larawan na nasa itaas. Hmm, nasaan kaya siya nito? Nasa isang okasyon kaya siya? Anyway, hindi siya ang topic ko ngayon!

Haist, kakatapos lang naming mag-caroling sa mga bahay-bahay ng ilan kong ka-choir. In fairness, masarap naman yung "dried sopas" na kinain namin na niluto ng isa naming soprano. Yun nga lang, nilait-lait ng iba kong ka-choir. Was it her fault kung naging ganun yung sopas? Hindi naman, diba? At napansin ko lang, iinit at lalamig ang panahon. Kung sa bagay, epekto ng global warming. At ngayon naman, ang init-init!

In fairness, it's almost 5 years since I first fell in true love. Ang corny noh, dahil ganito na lang lagi ang topic ko sa blog na ito. Dito lang kasi ako mas nakakapaglabas ng damdamin ko. At eto, halos parang ganito na naman ang eksena.

Nagsimula sa walang kiber. Pero ayun, natamaan na lang nang basta. Sa una, paghanga lang ang nadarama sa taong yun. Ngunit hindi naglaon, ayun na nga't napagtantong nahulog na lang. Walang ibang ginagawa. Ni hindi man lang nakikipag-usap. Pero ano ang nagawa niya at ganun na naman ang nangyari sa akin?

Pero napansin ko, napapasulyap na rin siya sa akin nang hindi ko mawari. Ano kaya ang ibig sabihin ng mga titig niya sa akin? In the first, ayaw kong bigyan na lang ng kahulugan yung mga ganung simpleng tanaw. Pero bakit parang kakaiba?

Speaking of my letter that I wrote for that person somewhere, nabatid na niya kayang para sa kanya yun? Imagine kasi, halos hawig ng pangalan niya yung Korean name na nilagay ko sa sulat. Supposedly, isang palaisipan sa lahat kung sino ang naglalang ng sulat at kung para kanino yung sulat.

Ahahay, kung ano-ano na naman ang tumatakbo sa isip ko. Baliw na nga ako!



Sana ay magkaroon na ako ng trabaho by January. Miss ko na ang work ko as an agent!

And by the way, 3 years from now ay magaganap na ang sinasabing "DOOMSDAY". Scary, isn't it? Ano nga ba ang mangyayari after 3 years?

Life after College

Good evening!

Guess Christmas 2009 is fast approaching. Only few days left before the core season. Bright lights, children carol, and merry music make me feel like Christmas is indeed in the air. But there's one thing that I really miss - school life.

For more than 2 decades that I had been attending school, this is my first time to miss schooling so much. I miss the moments with classrooms, classmates, schoolmates, teachers, and books that I used to bring. And most especially, I miss the moments wherein I commit mistakes, but learn to value it - for experience is the best teacher.

In fact, I'm still planning of taking another course. Perhaps, I wasn't brave enough to let go of schooling. And perhaps, I still would like to learn more things. After all, I'm still young to stop me from being educated. But my mother had done her part in sending me to school. I guess, I need to find a way to send myself to an educational institution using my own financial efforts.

2NE1 - I Don't Care

Hey playboy, it's about time and your time's up
I had to do this one for my girls you know
Sometime you gotta act like you don't care
That's the only way you boys learn

니 옷깃에 묻은 립스틱을 나는 절대로 용서못해
매일 하루에 수십번 꺼져있는 핸드폰
변하지 않을것만 같아 oh oh

그저 친구라는 수많은 여자친구
날 똑같이 생각하지마 I want let it bye
이제 니 맘대로해 난 미련을 버릴래
한땐 정말 사랑했는데 oh

가끔씩 술에 취해 전활 걸어 지금은 새벽 다섯시반
넌 또 다른 여자의 이름을 불러 no no

I don't care 그만할래 니가 어디에서 뭘 하던
이제 정말 상관 안할게 비켜줄래
이제와 울고불고 매달리지마
'Cause I don't care eh eh eh eh eh
I don't care eh eh eh eh eh

'Cause I don't care eh eh eh eh eh
I don't care eh eh eh eh eh
Boy I don't care

다른 여자들의 다리를 훔쳐보는
니가 너무너무 한심해
매일 빼놓는 커플링 나 몰래 한 소개팅
더이상 못참을것같아 oh oh oh

넌 절대 아니라는 수많은 나의친구
난 너땜에 친구들까지 타일렀지만
차라리 홀가분해 너에게 난 과분해
내 사랑이라 믿었는데 oh oh oh

오늘도 바쁘다고 말하는 너 혹시나 전화해봤지만
역시 뒤에선 여자 웃음소리가 들려 oh no

I don't care 그만할래 니가 어디에서 뭘 하던
이제 정말 상관 안할게 비켜줄래
이제와 울고불고 매달리지마
'Cause I don't care eh eh eh eh eh
I don't care eh eh eh eh eh

'Cause I don't care eh eh eh eh eh
I don't care eh eh eh eh eh
Boy I don't care

난 너땜에 울며 지새던 밤을 기억해 boy
더 후회할 널 생각하면 맘이 쉬웠네 boy
날 놓치긴 아깝고 갖기엔 시시하잖니
있을때 잘하지 너 왜 이제와 매달리니

속아준 거짓말만 해도 수백번
오늘 이후로 난 남자 울리는 bad girl
이젠 눈물 한방울 없이 널 비웃어
사랑이란 게임 속 loser
무릎꿇고 잡을 수 있니
아님 눈 앞에서 당장 꺼져

I don't care 그만할래 니가 어디에서 뭘 하던
이제 정말 상관 안할게 비켜줄래
이제와 울고불고 매달리지마
You know I don't care eh eh eh eh eh
I don't care eh eh eh eh eh
You know I don't care eh eh eh eh eh
I don't care eh eh eh eh eh
Boy I don't care

Ligaya at Hapdi

Good evening! Don't think of something queer about my blog title!

At last, nabili ko na rin yung album ni BoA na BoA Deluxe Album! Ayos lang kahit na naisangla ko yung mobile phone ko, it's worth it na hindi ko pinalampas ang pagka-disponible ng latest album ni BoA!

Imagine, ilang ulit kong pinag-isipan mabuti kung dapat ko na nga isangla yung isa kong cellphone para magkaroon ng pambili ng album o hintayin ko pa ang Pasko paran ako makabili. Pero hindi ako makapaghintay eh! Iba na rin yung nagkaroon ako kaysa mawalan pa. In fairness, may poster pa ako!

At kaninang pagkagaling ko sa biyahe ay may natanaw akong hindi ko kailan man inasahang matatanaw. For all these times na nais ko siyang makita at makausap, pinalampas ko pa yung pagkakataong yun. Almost a year na noong huli ko siyang nakita, at sobra ko na ring nami-miss yun. Ang tanga ko eh.

Ganito kasi yung nangyari. Bumaba na ako sa bus sa harapan ng isang mall para bumili ng gamot sa botika na nasa mall. At noong pagkababa ko ay biglang gulat ko noong nakita ko siyang nag-aabang ng masasakyan. I am certain na nakita rin niya ako. Pero tumawid na ako nun. Grabe yung kaba sa kalooban ko. Ngayon lang ako uli kinabahan nang ganun. Eh paano, nakita ko uli siya eh. Noong nasa botika na ako, hindi ako mapakali kung dapat ko nga ba siyang puntahan o dapat na lang ako bumili ng gamot para sa nanay ko. Pero natanaw ko pa rin siyang naghihintay ng masasakyan. Kaya lumabas muna ako para magbakasakaling makausap siya kahit na saglit lang.

At ang tanga ko, sumegwei pa akong bumili ng yosi. At nagkatitigan uli kami. He certainly knew that I was looking sa kanya. At hanggang sa nakasakay na siya ng jeep. Ayun, kawawa ako!

For all these times na hindi ko siya nakita, grabe ang pagka-miss ko sa kanya kahit na I'm just an ordinary person na nakakasalubong lang niya sa daan. I cannot blame yung taong yun na pahalagahan din niya ako tulad ng pagpapahalaga sa kanya dahil siya na rin yung nagsabi sa akin dati na hindi ko hawak ang puso at isip ng ibang tao. Kung baga, it's one's disposition. But still, ako ang malaking tanga dahil pinakawalan ko pa yung pagkakataong makausap siya kahit na saglit lang. ANG TANGA KO.

Philippines' Situation

Pasintabi lang po sa mga tatanaw ng blog na ito.



Halos nawala na sa isip ko na gumawa naman ng isang entrada tungkol sa sarili kong bansa.

By the way, the picture is the scene after the Maguindanao massacre. The incident happened on the morning of November 23, 2009, in the town of Ampatuan. Some of the victims were about to file a certificate of candidacy for Esmael Mangudadatu, vice mayor of Buluan town. Mangudadatu was challenging Datu Unsay mayor Andal Ampatuan, Jr., son of the incumbent Maguindanao governor Andal Ampatuan, Sr., in the forthcoming Maguindanao gubernatorial election, part of the national elections in 2010. Those killed included Mangudadatu's wife, his two sisters, lawyers, aides, and motorists who were witnesses or were mistakenly identified as part of the convoy.

Kalunos-lunos talaga ang mga biktima na walang awang pinaslang. All they want is a peaceful and flawless election, right? So in this blog, I IMPETUOUSLY CONDEMN those people who did this and those who are behind this incident. And the worst thing is that even the people from media were also killed. Hindi rin biro ang trabaho ng mga mamahayag dahil palaging nakataya ang buhay nila sa paglalahad ng balitang totoo.

Ganito na nga ba kalala ang mga nangyayri dito sa Pilipinas? And speaking of Martial Law Declaration in the whole Province of Maguindanao, parang naaninag ko uli yung unang martial law na idineklara ng dating pangulong Ferdinand Marcos sa buong Pilipinas. Pero buti na lang at sa Maguindanao lang. Pero gayon pa man, hindi pa rin nawawala ang takot ko na baka magkaroon na ng matinding kaguluhan dito sa Pilipinas.

Kahapon nga, pinag-usapan nga nina MoJo at Grace yung tungkol sa politics. There was this caller who asked Grace tungkol sa ibang pulitiko sa Korea na kapag malapit nang mabisto ang kabalahuraan ay magre-resign na para hindi na mapahiya pa. Iyon din ang bagay na nilinaw ni Grace Lee sa caller. And she also added that they had two former Korean presidents who were involved in massacres. May death penalty raw doon, pero dahil naging pinuno nga sila ng Republika ng Korea ay ibinaba nila ang hatol sa dalawang pangulo. At, kung may anomalya man daw ang sino man sa mga pulitiko sa Korea ay hindi naman "garapalan" gaya ng iba rito (OOPS, HANGGANG DITO NA LANG!).

Kung sa bagay, may point talaga si Grace Lee about doon. Isa lang masasabi ko, ang GALING MAGTAGALOG NI GRACE LEE! Para nga siyang hindi Koreana eh! Anyway, pinapasaya ko na lang ang sarili ko dahil negativism na nga yung topic ko rito.

BoA Deluxe Album... now here in the Philippines!

Good day!

Guess today is the last day of Nursing Licensure exams. It actually started yesterday. Guess it's really pressurising! And I don't want to think about it!



The above image is from BoA Deluxe album. I should have known that it was released here in the Philippines on November 18, 2009. Awesome! I can't believe that BoA's latest album is now released!

1. I Did It For Love (featuring Sean Garrett)
2. Energetic
3. Did Ya
4. Look Who's Talking
5. Eat You Up
6. Obsessed
7. Touched
8. Scream
9. Girls On Top
10. Dress Off
11. Hypnotic Dancefloor
12. Energetic [Radio Edit]
13. Control
14. Crazy About

I'm so excited to have one today! If only BoA knew how much I idolise her. Honestly, she's my most favourite singer more than I do with my favourite Filipino singers. After all, we're both Asians and no one can opt me from liking her!

How I wish, BoA will make a breakthrough here in the Philippines! Surely, I'm her number 1 Filipino fan!

アイヌ イタク

AINU ITAK.

It is one of the moribund languages of the modern world. It is spoken spoken by members of the Ainu ethnic group on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido.

Until the twentieth century, Ainu languages were also spoken throughout the southern half of the island of Sakhalin and by small numbers of people in the Kuril Islands. All but the Hokkaido language are extinct, with the last speaker of Sakhalin Ainu having died in 1994, and Hokkaido Ainu is moribund, though there are ongoing attempts to revive it.

Ainu, for the meantime, has no generally accepted genealogical relationship to any other language family.

Ainu, for me, should be one of the official languages of Japan. That's all.

Facebook Stuffs

Good day!

Here are some of my pics from Facebook Applications. I must confess, I'm madly obsessed with Facebook apps!

Here's the picture of my restaurant from the application RESTAURANT CITY (by PlayFish)



Looks very Asian eh? And I named it NIKKAN-HANIL. Guess it's obviously from Japanese and Korean! And my servings? ASIAN and EUROPEAN dishes. Let's take a look at my interior part of my restaurant!



Colourful, isn't it?

And here's the picture of my farm from the application FARMVILLE (by ZYNGA)



As you see, those are the flags of Japan and Korea! It was not that hard for me to construct those flags. By next time, I'll construct the Philippine flag in my farm using hay bales!

And look at my farm, lots of animals!



Why not play these games on Facebook? It sure will be fun!

Salutation

Magandang hapon po sa inyong lahat! Nais ko lang po batiin si Manny Pacquiao sa matagumpay niyang pakikipaglaban kay Cotto. It was great!

It only prooves na palaban ang mga Pilipino sa ano mang pagsubok na dumating! At tulad ni Manny Pacquiao, hindi kailan man sumusuko ang tunay na Pilipino!

As the saying goes: WINNERS NEVER QUIT, WHEREAS QUITTERS NEVER WIN.

Am I right?

Shakira - Suerte

Suerte que en el sur hayas nacido
Y que burlemos las distancias
Suerte que es haberte conocido
Y por ti amar tierras extrañas
Yo puedo escalar los Andes solo
Por ir a contar tus lunares
Contigo celebro y sufro todo
Mis alegrías y mis males

Le ro lo le lo le
Le ro lo le lo le
Sabes que estoy a tus pies

Contigo, mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
Quiero vivir contigo
Contigo mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
Quiero vivir contigo

Suerte que es tener labios sinceros
Para besarte con más ganas
Suerte que mis pechos sean pequeños
Y nos los confundas con montañas
Suerte que herede las piernas firmes
Para correr si un día hace falta
Y estos dos ojos que me dicen
Que he de llorar cuando te vallas

Le ro lo le lo le
Le ro lo le lo le
Sabes que estoy a tus pies

Contigo, mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
Quiero vivir contigo
Contigo mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
Quiero vivir contigo

Le ro lo le lo le
le ro lo le lo le
Sabes que estoy a tus pies

Le ro lo le lo le lo la
La felicidad tiene
Tu nombre y tu piel

Contigo, mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
quiero vivir contigo
Ya sabes mi vida
estoy hasta el cuello por ti
Si sientes algo así
Quiero que te quedes junto a mi

Contigo, mi vida
Quiero vivir la vida
Y lo que me queda de vida
Quiero vivir contigo
Ya sabes mi vida
Estoy hasta el cuello por ti
Si sientes algo así
Quiero que te quedes junto a mi

Spice Girls - Goodbye

No no no no, no no no no, no no no no,

Listen little child, there will come a day
When you will be able, able to say
Never mind the pain, or the aggravation
You know there's a better way, for you and me to be

Look for the rainbow in every storm
Fly like an angel, heaven sent to me

Goodbye my friend (I know you're gone, you said you're gone,
but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end (gotta keep it strong before the pain
turns into fear)

So glad we made it, time will never change it - no no no

No no no no

Just a little girl, big imagination
Never letting no-one take it away
Went into the world (into the world), what a revelation
She found there's a better way for you and me to be

Look for the rainbow in every storm
Find out for certain, love's gonna be there for you
You'll always be someone's baby

Goodbye my friend (I know you're gone, you said you're gone,
but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end (gotta keep it strong before the pain
turns into fear)

So glad we made it, time will never change it
No no no no (No no no no)
You know it's time to say goodbye
(No no no no)

The times when we would play about
The way we used to scream and shout
We never dreamt you'd go your own sweet way

Look for the rainbow in every storm
Find out for certain love's gonna be there for you
You'll always be someone's baby

Goodbye my friend (I know your gone, you said you're gone,
but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end (you gotta keep it strong before the
pain turns into fear)

So glad we made it time will never never ever change it

(No no no no)
you know it's time to say goodbye
(No no no no)
and don't forget you can rely

(No no no no)
you know it's time to say goodbye
(No no no no)
and don't forget on me you can rely

(No no no no)
I will help, help you on your way

No no no no
I will be with you every day

22 Years of Living!

Good afternoon and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Ayan, 22 taong gulang na po ako. Ngunit ang sa akin lang ay tila pangkaraniwang araw lamang ito. Walang handa. Walang salo-salo. Walang kasayahan. As in wala. It's like I'm only stocked in my usual daily activities. Pero guess what? Bumili kami ni inang mudra ng bago kong ketay na Nokia 1661. Very basic pa rin naman ang bago kong mobile phone, and plus may radio pa. OK naman siya. Pero baka sa December ay magkaroon pa ako ng isang ketay dahil may bibili raw para sa akin.

Belated happy birthday nga pala kay Sandara Park (AKA Dara and Krung-Krung). Does she still remember me? Ni hindi ko pa nga siya gaanong naka-bonding noong nandito pa siya sa Pilipinas. Sana magkaroon pa rin ako ng pagkakataong maka-bonding siya.

Speaking of my birthday, malaki ang pasasalamat ko sa mga taong nakaalala sa akin lalo na si inang mudra. Kahapon nga lang ay kasama ko yung mga bago kong mga kaibigan na sobra akong kinukulit.

Nga pala, they have been my friends for the last couple of weeks. Babansagan ko na lang silang "Pampangueño" at "Batangueño". Speaking of them, they are so much isolated from the rest of the people in our place somewhere in Metro Manila. Nakilala ko kasi si "Pampangueño" nang marinig niya akong may kausap sa phone at nagkataong Kapampangan pa ang gamit ko. At first din kasi, medyo pangit ang impression ko kay "Pampangueño" - SUPLADO at CHOOSY. But it was nothing but a sort of misjudgment dahil hindi ko inakalang kakanain niya ako habang nakikipag-usap ako gamit ang aming salitang Kapampangan! TAKSIAPU! At ayun, ayos naman pala siyang kausap at sobra rin ang kakulitan niya. At nandun din kasi si "Batangueño" na naka-bonding ko na rin. Hanggang sa dumaan ang mga araw na naging close ko na rin sila.

Imagine, ako lang ang nakakausap nila sa lugar namin. Perhaps, I'm an open-minded person kaya siguro magaan din ang loob nila sa akin. Pero medyo iba ang nangyari noong nakasama ko sila kahapon.

Hindi ko na muna ilalahad. Perhaps, palilipasin ko na lang kung ano man ang nangyari kahapon. Ang masasabi ko lang: Sana ay naunawaan nila ang mga pinagdaraanan ko bago nila ako kulitin nang kulitin. Yun lang. Pero hindi ako galit noh! Why will I be angry sa araw ng kapanganakan ko?

Again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! At sana ay may mga makaalala pa rin sa akin kahit na papaano. Thank God I'm now 22.

Celine Dion - I Love You

I must be crazy now
Maybe I dream too much
But when I think of you
I long to feel your touch

To whisper in your ear
Words that are as old as time
Words only you would hear
If only you were mine

I wish I could go back to the very first day I saw you
Should've made my move when you looked in my eyes
Cause by now I know that you'd feel the way that I do
And I'd whisper these words as you'd lie here by my side

I love you, please say
You love me too, these three words
They could change our lives forever
And I promise you that we will always be together
Till the end of time

So today, I finally found the courage deep inside
Just to walk right up to your door
But my body couldn't move when I finally got to it
Just like a thousand times before

Then without a word he handed me this letter
Read I hope this finds the way into your heart, it said

I love you, please say
You love me too, these three words
They could change our lives forever
And I promise you that we will always be together
Till the end of time

Well maybe I, I need a little love yeah
And maybe I, I need a little care
And maybe I, maybe you, maybe you, maybe you
Oh you need somebody just to hold you
If you do, just reach out and I'll be there

I love you, please say
You love me too
Please say you love me too
Till the end of time
These three words
They could change our lives forever
And I promise you that we will always be together

Oh, I love you
Please say you love me too
Please please
Say you love me too
Till the end of time
My baby
Together, together, forever
Till the end of time
I love you
I will be your light
Shining bright
Shining through your eyes
My babe

J-Musicians over K-Musicians

Good day! Gosh, this place where I am right now is so damn cold!

Guess today is my idol's birthday, BoA! 생일 축하합니다!



And tomorrow will be Lee Dong Wook's Birthday. Look at oppa, he is still looking young.




Speaking of K-Musicians, there are some singers who have released singles and albums in Japanese. It is quite evident that Koreans are capable of learning Japanese. The reason? It is thought that Japanese and Korean are related to each other due to the similarities of their sentence structure - subject-object-verb pattern. Plus, they are both agglutinative. But how come there are even some who have released singles or albums in English? Some of the best examples who have English singles and albums are BoA, Se7en, and Rain.

Speaking of J-Musicians, no pure Japanese has ever released any single or album in Korean (but I'm not kind of sure). Is it because they find it hard in speaking Korean? Or they are not interested because they know that Japanese is enough to be better? So, would it be fair if any Japanese singer will release at least 5 Korean singles?

Anyway, I have just created an unofficial Korean flag. Though it's not official, I hope that the two Koreas will become united once more.

Shakira - Whenever, Wherever

Lucky you were born that far away so
We could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence

Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Ten Million ways to love somebody

Le ro lo le lo le, Le ro lo le lo le
Can't you see
I'm at your feet

Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear

Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes that for no other
The day you leave will cry a river

Le ro le le lo le, Le ro le le lo le
At your feet
I'm at your feet

Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear

Le ro le le lo le, Le ro le le lo le
Think out loud
Say it again

Le ro lo le lo le lo le
Tell me one more time
That you'll live
Lost in my eyes

Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel
