false alarm..

Yehey! akala ko di ko na maa-acces ang blog ko na to. gumawa tuloy ako sa blogspot. kaya dedma na blogspot. panakip butas ka lamang.

Ano bang mga nangyari?

1. Bagyong Ondoy. Daming sinalanta lalo na sa Marikina, Cainta at Pasig. Exodus in brown water ang image. Akyatan lahat sa bubong. Ang mga kotse nagmukhang matchbox na lang na finu-flush sa kulay brown na tubig. Yung mga nangyayari sa Bicol, Samar at Quezon tuwing bagyo, nangyari na rin dito sa Manila. Meron ding mga namatay.  Buti na lang kahit katabi namin ang La Mesa dam, awa ng Diyos, walang dumaplis na  tubig baha sa bahay namin. Di ko ata kakayanin maglakad ng neck deep waters. Ambigat pa naman ng tiyan ko ngayon. Sa ngayon meron na akong tatlong bagay na ginawa:

A. Binigay ko ang mga polo at damit namin na hindi ginagamit bilang napakalaki nila lahat. Pero maganda pa naman ang mga yun. Lalo na yung mga polo. Judge ang may-ari nun dati.

B. Namakyaw ako ng noodles sa grocery ngayon at biscuit. Ipapadala ko kay R sa re-packing sa GMA. Akala tuloy ng mga tao nagpapanic-buying ako.

C. Nagdasal na rin ako for enlightenment sa mga tao. Ma-enlighten sila na hindi pa ito ang katapusan ng mundo para sa kanila. Although, napakadaling maging sawi at magpaka-- "why me?!" lalo na kung buong bahay at pangkabuhayan mo ay nawala. Babangon tayo, kahit gaano pa kabigat ang putik sa ating katawan, mahuhugasan yan. 

Ayan muna. I hope things will be better for all of us.

Kaya pala...

Kaya pala parang ang haggard ko tuwing umaga.
Kaya pala kung tubuan ako ng tagyawat parang may lalabas na alien sa loob niya.
Kaya pala sobrang batugan ko mag-drive.
Kaya pala napansin niya na hindi daw ako masyadong nag-aayos.
Kaya pala sabi ni poodrahbel mukha daw akong aso. (exag ito, hindi talaga akong mukhang aso)
Kaya pala masakit palagi ang legs ko.
Kaya pala ang bigat ng feeling ko.
Kaya pala hindi ako ganun ka emotional unlike while carrying Musa.

It's confeeermed. It's a boy.

Reminders lang to self:

Cut back on chocolates please. Sige na.
Eat more healthy sweets na lang like fruits.
Pero ang sarap pala ng coffee and vanilla flavors ng Arce Dairy Ice Cream
Again, cut back on chocolates and all its subrodinates.

Start a walkathon when October begins.

No to iced tea especially the sweet kinds.
No to corned beef.
Lessen the pasta.

Yes to malunggay and talbos ng kamote.
Eat your santol bago pa siya mabulok.

Look what made me laugh today... real hard at may kasama pang mura!

But if ever he made up his mind, Escudero said there was zero probability of him teaming up with Villar due to the C-5 double funding controversy the former Senate president was embroiled in.

Escudero declared his commitment to good governance and added he would not tarnish such a pledge by associating with Villar whose involvement in the anomaly has become clear.

"Based on the evidence I saw, based on the (pieces of) evidence presented to the Senate in connection with the C-5 controversy, the case against him is strong," he said.

Escudero said his conscience would not allow him to team up with Villar.

He said he would rather run with former president Joseph Estrada, who supported his candidacy for the Senate in 2007.

- Escudero: Yes to team up with Estrada

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!
Putang ina. Hindi ko ito kinaya. Ang galing galing mo pa naman magsalita na para kang zombie na computer in full Balagtasan mode pag nasa TV.


San ba galing ang conscience ni Chiz Escudero? Sa Jueteng?
Kaya ng conscience mo mag team up sa isang convicted plunderer pero yung isa na naka-proseso pa lang ang anomalya di mo bet kasi baka ma-tarnish ang iyong commitmment to good governance?
Hate mo ang lavishness ni Gloria pero love mo ang Boracay Mansions ni Erap?
You team up with Estrada for fucking good governance?!
Pahingi nga ng anti-pampahilab baka mag break ang water bag ko.


Ok na. Smile.
Bwahahahahahahahaha!

Hindi kita maintindihan kuya.
The same way na hindi ko maintindihan na laging naka-half mast ang mata mo sa TV.

Isa kang H.  Impokrita in tagalog.
Sabi ko na nga ba there is something wrong with you and all your youthful chenes sa TV.
Ah,  and this just proves me right all along.

Ito akin lang ha...


1. Bakit kaya uso ang mamatay ngayon? Ang daming namatay lately. Si Francis M., si Tita Cory, Si Maolin, Si Alexis Tiuseco (i know him but i don't know if he knows that i exist. We used to go to him for some mean film reviews on my first ever defunct show. He was young and gwapo but now he's dead. I was once a film reviewer for a cable film show; they give me free tickets and i appear on TV for a piece of what i think about the movie. They still get me though, i kinda reviewed some 5-6 films for that. I feel so small because now i realize i am not like the Alexis Tiuseco) Oh. Yung asawa ng kaibigan ko namatay na rin at 1 year pa lang sila kasal. Hay kalungkot.

2. Bakit nauso na ata ngayon ang magtakbo takbo or mag-join sa mga marathon? Fashion ba ito? Mapa-5k mapa 10K na marathon go ang mga utaw. Dahil na rin ba sa green revolution? Ang weird kasi matagal ko nang gusto mag-join ng marathon at nag self train ako for 2 years jogging around sa UP with a goal set na kelangan tumikas talaga ang resistensya ko.  Eh na-jontis ako... twice. Hindi tuloy ako maka-join. Pero ngayon lang siya nauso.

3. Bakit rin nauso ngayon sa Pilipinas ang pag-acquire ng mga DSLR? As in yung pang photographer talaga na mahahaba ang nguso. Ok lang naman. Deadma naman ako kung uso yan. Pero yung iba kasi feeling artist agad porke't meron silang 40K worth of camera swung around their neck. I just acquired an 8 megapixel  digicam on sale and i feel na parang napag-iwanan ako ng panahon. I have a lomo camera naman. Who cares? Can they even operate a manual camera? Do they know about the aperture and the shutter speed? Do they have the patience and timing for that? Have they ever been to Quiapo to look at their contact prints? Now everybody feels that they have an eye for beauty.  Last year ata nauso naman ang mga mini dv camera and everyone felt that they are filmmakers. Ang chaka. What do you do? I'm a filmmaker. Kelan kaya mauuso ang pagiging writer?

***
May isang nakakatawang incident.
A 40 year old virgin just dropped a bomb at me.

Buntis ka na naman?

Yes. It's not like it's my 8th child.

Kahit na. Hindi ka tumutulong sa population ng Pilipinas.

I smiled.

Gusto ko sana sabihin sa kanya na ipamigay mo na lang yang puke mo sa bakla baka magamit pa nila.

Gusto ko rin sabihin sa kanya na sa edad mong yan na kwarenta hindi ba nag-hunger strike ang puke mo? Ramdam mo ba ang mga placards na nagsasabing... Use Me or else i'll have cancer!

Gusto ko rin ipaalala sa kanya na magagalit ang Diyos kapag hindi mo ginamit sa tamang gamit ang isang napaka-gandang bagay na binigay niya sa atin. Kukunin niya sayo ang kawawa mong puke. Gusto mo bang ipalit diyan ay blowdryer na lang?

Gusto ko rin sabihin sa kanya na hindi masama makipag-sex. Period.

But amidst all that conjectures sa utak ko... I still smiled.

About Noynoy...

Hmmm..

Mainit init ang balita dito sa Pinas na si Noynoy... yes ang anak ni Aling Cory Aquino... ay tatakbo na bilang presidente. Hindi naman kagulat-gulat at hindi rin nakakakilabot kagaya nung ina-nnounce ni Victor Wood na tatakbo rin siya for President. In short, keri lang.

Medyo expected naman. May petition para tumakbo siya. Medyo nagkaroon siya ng magandang exposure at the expense of her Mom's death tapos lumabas pa sa TV ang kanyang napaka-gandang bagong jowa na isang councilor ng Valenzuela. Tapos kapatid pa niya ang isang Kris Aquino who can easily whip up a circus for him.

Madaming chika at naiinis sa facebook dahil para daw siyang nanligaw ng alam niyang may crush sa kanya. Or ginamit niya ang time to shine dahil namatay ang mudraks niya. Napilitan lang siya and all that.

Pero nakakatuwa. Isa na namang accident ang nangyari sa pulitika ng Pilipinas. Namatay ang nanay niya at umiyak ang buong Pilipinas ngayon gusto na siya maging presidente. Maybe he took advantage, maybe he never really wanted to, maybe his Mom would haunt him kung di niya tinanggap but whatever reason he has for running... it was still accidental.

He could win. Naloloka na tuloy ang mga presidentiables ngayon dahil andami na nilang napundar sa TV ads tapos ito... accidentally somebody wanted to become president as a result of a national consequence. He comes out shining like some savior and beacon of light radiated from the heavens above. Akala ng tao reincarnation siya ni Cory and Ninoy combined. He comes off as a reluctant president now much like what happened to Cory then.   It can work for him and could also work for us. Tignan mo naman... it was as if THE Cory died in time to make way for his presidency, plus the beautiful fiance and the number 1 endorser for a sister na kahit yata inidoro bebenta kung mukha niya ang naka plaster dun. Whappak! Gudluck talaga.  Alam mo naman ang mga Pilipino... mahilig sa mga divine intervention at believable drama. Hahaha. Nakakatuwa talaga ang mga nangyayari sa Pilipinas. I think we're being fried in our own oil but in a positive way... siguro ang oil ay extra virgin.

Speaking of the presidentiables, wala naman ako masydong trip sa kanila actually. Manny Villar, whom my Dad worked for as PR during his congress days, shouldered our hospital bills back then. Could be a vote for me but not really. I don't know. I don't feel compelled to vote for him. Jejomar Binay is ok seeing all the things he had done for Makati. Pero di pa rin. Ewan ko ba. 

I think i could go for Noynoy. I don't know yet. I'd rather have somebody who doesn't know what to do yet than somebody who knows full well what to do when in power. Nakakatakot yung ganun. Power is for those who evade it.

What happened?

We had a birthday party for Musa. It was great. Daming taong pumunta. I can say it's way better than having your party done in a cliche Mcdo or Jollibee kiddie party. Everyone had a blast and i was so tired. People from AA whom i hardly ever see came all the way to Fairview to party. I'm deeply touched by people who come most especially our place isn't just a tumbling away. Unfortunately though, the catering part was the sablay  dahil sumakit ang tyan ko and some of the guests. i did mind since i had to take extra medicines for some bacteria found in my body which was causing the stomach pain. I'm still glad we pulled it through. A lot of people enjoyed as well.

***

Nakapanood na rin ako ng KimmyDora sa wakas. Love ko talaga si Eugene Domingo. I saw her act on stage some 3 years back and i was floored. I then became a fan and would watch some of her chaka movies just because of her. Nanood ako ng Apat Dapat dati because she was there but the movie was total basura. Nainsulto ako kaya nag-walk out ako. Di ko na tinapos. And then came this break where she is the lead star.

Hagalpak ako pati ang nasa sinapupunan ko sa kakatawa. She is a true artist and gem and no one can do things the way she does. She's like a Rene Requiestas and Michael V. of her time. Wala nang makakagawa ng ginagawa ni Rene Requiestas or si Michael V kahit ngayon. She's induplicable ika nga. She's even way better than Ai-Ai dela Alas.

I was wondering on who made Kimmy's bathing suit.




I would love to wear and buy one!
But the cut is so Ivarluski Aseron.
Just like in this one.



I love this dress on Anne Curtis.
There you go.

It's been a year... whew.

it's been a year for us my dear and each day just seems to be so wonderful everytime I see you. I am beginning to sound like some sappy mom on a baby powder ad but this is what i feel.

Last year before you were born, i had my hopes up high that i could train for a marathon, practice more tennis, attend more meetings at the writer's pool, travel around Asia and the Philippines, try a new sport, buy a new laptop and do whatever a single girl could do with her life who had all the time in her hands. When i found out i was carrying you, all of those seem to hold up in the air just to make way for you...  but it was all worth it.  I thought my life would dry up but then this is something new to me and i am so liking all the things that made me prepare for you...  My life turned up in a different way which i never expected, i married, i saved up, and i gave birth to you. You're here and all those things up in the air will soon be plucked out one by one and it will be more meaningful because you are here with me. Just how wonderful is that?

Happy birthday again my dear Musa.




This is her birthday suit. Haha!

Red dress from Gap
Pink boots from Zara Kids.

Taray!

Status ko?

I just finished first draft of the finale script for a soap opera. First time for me to do a finale week so all the convoluted plots and all the sins must be forgiven or punished and all the i love yous should be said. In my case, teen romance meets classic mahirap -mayaman tug of war love affair. SO madaming moments to you know... get sheesy.

It's time to plan a party!
I can't believe Musa will be 1 year old tomorrow while i'm 5 months pregnant.
My baby is already 1. She's starting to look like me especially when i was about her age.

So it's time to plan. Now, there's this one thing i hate when it comes to planning things--- mga pakialamero, mga nagmamagaling, mga nagmamaganda!

It's my greatest hidden pet peeve next to spitting in public. Yung mga nagsasabing--- bakit hindi sa Jollibee? Dapat may videoke para masaya.  Walang bang lobo? Magpa-cater na lang kayo. Dapat magsimba kayo at magpasalamat sa Diyos.

Alam ko lahat yan. I know, these are suggestions but it just makes my brain tick lalo na pag unsolicited pa. Naiinis rin ako when the people who make sawsaw are the ones na wala pa namang napapatunayan sa mga buhay nila para tularan ko yung mga pinagpipilitan nila.

Independent kasi ako eh. Naiirita talaga ako pag merong taong nagsasabi sa akin kung ano ang dapat kong gawin sa buhay ko. HIndi naman ako nagtatanong ng advice. Ang hiiiilig makisaw-saw.

Ayun. angts unleashed. OK na.

Malamang pag lipat namin sa bago naming bahay... which is our OWN house. Madami na namang makikialam. I can heed to what my Mom says because honestly, she's like Martha Stewart. I can see, even when i was still young, that she has good choices pagdating sa bahay at sa kung ano-ano kaya hindi ako naiinis when she gives out suggestions. Ang maganda pa nun, she suggests at the time when i  don't  know what to do kaya swak lang. She knows me really.

Pero yung iba... hay nako!

This has been my sanctuary for four years already. It's my extension. Almost like a limb out in the open. Know that people want to express, to just chuck it out, to just be themselves even on something as artificial as blog. I am that people. So don't mind me...
