love less people

I don't think I'm one of those so called "love less" people.

I may not have romantic attachment right now, but I know that I'm much loved by my family and friends.

Having love in your life doesn't mean having a friendster profile stating you're "in a relationship", or having facebook pictures with your special someone.

But I guess, it all starts with giving love to your family and friends in ways that even those virtual accounts can't equal.

Why I'm saying this? E kasi, and daming atribida na marunong pa sa'kin.. Harhar! E ayoko nga eh, bakit ba? hehe!

Starting Anew

Hey, i created my new and official blogspot account.
I will be reposting my old writings.
Please bear with me, i am reconstructing my life, este my blog... hehe!

Mwah!

Gratitude Journal

I learned this thing early this morning from watching Homeboy.

It's a journal where you can write down all the things you are thankful for that happened last year.

So here’s my version:

• Thanks to my new found friends: OSG friends, Te Angie, Betchai, James.
• Thanks for the trips: Unisan, Quezon last May; Ilocos Sur last October; and Baguio last December 28-29. All made possible by KALIPI.
• Thanks to SolGen Nachura and Asec. Malaya: Nagkaroon ako ng dalawang trabaho dahil sa inyo. Naexperience ko ang magtrabaho sa Malacañan, at sa tempting City of Makati. Na-meet ko din ang mga bagong friends at nagkaroon ng malaking bonus. Hehe! To Sir Jof: para sa madalas na pag-treat samin sa gimikan. Nakapunta kami sa mga class restaurants and hotel (ex: Westin Phil. Plaza).
• Thanks to Kuya Mar and Kuya Manny: para sa walang kapagurang paglalakad ng mga dokumento namin sa Malacañan.
• Thanks to Kuya Pekto: para sa di pagbibigay sakin ng malaking bayarin sa bahay, pagluluto ng masasarap na pagkain (na dahilan kaya mataba ako ngayon).
• Thanks to Ate Angie: para sa masarap na pasta, sa pag-share ng problem mo, at sa tawanan.
• Thanks to Cez: for introducing iGen. I learned a lot from our experience.
• Thanks to Kuya Rey: para sa palaging pakikinig ng aking istorya ng pag-ibig, kahit na umiiyak na ako sayo, di mo ko pinagtatawanan. And sa paglalaan ng oras at panahon sa ating treat-after-treat session.
• Thanks to KALIPI HQ: para sa walang tigil na pagsuporta sa ASAP.
• Thanks to Juley, Betchai, Lheng and Franz: para sa pagsama sakin sa aking Christmas Vacation sa Pangasinan.
• Thanks to Franz: para sa pagpupuyat sa paggawa ng magagandang banners and posters ng ASAP.
• Thanks to Kuya Eric: for all the encouragements. Para sa pagsama saming pamilya nung Pasko at Bagong Taon. At sa pagdadala samin sa Baguio.
• Thanks to my Ate Daye. Para sa lagi mong pakikinig sa mga kwento ko. At pagpapatira sakin sa bahay mo every weekend. Thanks din sa pagbibigay ng aking Christmas Wish # 2.
• Thanks to my relatives in Pangasinan: napakainit lagi ng pagtanggap nyo sa amin.
• Thanks to Jerald: para sa pagiging bahagi ng 2006 ko. Dahil sayo, samu’t-saring damdamin ang naramdaman ko. Marami akong natutunan. Thank you for the love. Thank you for the pain. Thank you for the memories.
• Thanks to my younger sister, A. Kahit na lagi kang pasaway at sakit ng ulo, salamat sa pagsama sakin, paglalambing, at pagyakap pag natutulog tayo.
• Thanks to my Big Brother, Jan: para sa pagsuporta mo sakin lagi, financially and emotionally. Marami tayong naranasan ngayong taon na ‘to. Lagi mo kong pinapaiyak at pinupuyat. Salamat din at nakakapagkwentuhan tayo pag nagkikita.
• Thanks to my ever-loving nanay. Thanks for your love, patience, care, and respect. The best ka talaga! Love you!
• Thanks to you O Lord! Para sa lahat ng blessings na binigay Mo sakin at sa aking pamilya. I love you po!

Sa lahat ng di ko nabanggit, di ko kayo nakalimutan, di lang nai-type. Salamat ng marami sa pagiging bahagi ng aking 2006.

Maraming salamat sa lahat ng bagay na dumating sakin ngayong 2006. Kayo ang bumuo sa taon ko. Maaring may nawala, ngunit may mga dumagdag.

God is so good talaga.

New Year's Resolution

It's a tradition! Almost every people do this before or after the year ends. They say, it's their way of directing theirselves to which path they would like to be.

For the sake of my love for blogging, i will try to list down my new year's resolution, for the first time, in my twenty two years of existence.

Things I will do this year:

1. Treat myself a vacation in Bohol. (hopefully, this summer!)
2. Put up a small business. (restobar for my nanay)
3. Have an appliance, equipment or a gadget.
4. Do a good deed (e.g. gift-giving for the orphans or calamity victims)
5. Enroll next school year (AB Language or BS Business Administration)

Things I will NOT do this year:

1. Over-spending. (I should save P1,500 from my monthly salary.)
2. Sleeping late. (I should sleep before 12mn except for important activities.)
3. Excessive eating. (minimal intake of food: 1 cup of rice, no fatty and oily foods)
4. Sloth day. (it's really hard to wake up early during weekends..)
5. NO BOYFRIEND. (The most difficult of all.)

Guide me, O Lord. Amen.

Christmas Wishlist

I don’t believe that people of the Philippines are poor. Look at the malls, cinemas, parks, coffee shops, restaurants, and bars. People from all walks of life can be seen in these places.

I therefore conclude that Filipinos have lots of money these days. So I would like to ask for your gifts for me this coming Christmas.

I have 22 things listed here since I am 22 right now. You can look at my list so you can choose which gift you’d like to give me.

• CDs: Pinoy Dream Academy Volumes 1-4
• Sing Like A Champion VCD (The Company, Sarah Geronimo)
• Motorola Razr V3x (red, white or black); Cellphone case
• Portable DVD with Screen (white or red)
• Sony Digicam 8.0 megapixels (can save 600+ pix)
• Shoes: Rubber Shoes (black, white and red); Sandals (with 3-inch heels, black or gold); Flat funky shoes (green or white
• Wardrobe: Leggings (Bayo, Penshoppe); Funky Blouse (Penshoppe, Tomato); Formal Blouse Bayo); Slacks (black, cream, gray [kahit sa divi lang])
• Bags: Pony Bag (black); Jelly Bean Bag (green or red); Tote Bag (big in black or red); Hawk Backpack (blue or black)

• Electric Fan (this is for my mom)
• iPod (ewan ko kung ilang GB dapat, basta ung makapagstore ng 10000 songs)

You may choose from the things listed above. If you can’t afford, you may improvise. You can go to divi or quiapo to buy me gifts for a cheaper price. But always think that things bought from these places will not last. Favor, for CDs, VCDs and DVDs, only the original please.. Let us support our artists and say NO to Piracy.

Merry Christmas to all! Mwah!!!

Star-Gazing!

Hay, I can’t believe that my day would be very exciting until I went to the mall last night.

After a tiring trip from Vigan, Ilocos Sur, I wasn’t able to come to office on time. I slept from 3am till 10am, and then went to the office. I had a hard time doing my work, because I am really sleepy.

We went to Ilocos last Thursday night and arrived at around 6am in Ilocos Marina Resort Club, Santiago, Ilocos Sur for a Leadership Youth Camp, organized by the KALIPI-University of Northern Philippines and sponsored by BM Zuriel Zaragoza of the 2nd District of Ilocos Sur. The Camp started at 3pm, Friday with Amazing Race. 70 students from UNP-Vigan and Candon actively took part. We had our Solidarity Night with a theme “ROCKISTA”. Each group performed their Tunog-Tao presentation. The Camp ended on Sunday with a little sadness in everybody’s face, but also a smile, brought by the enjoyment and new friends they’ve met.


The facilitators went to Vigan to buy pasalubong for their friends and loved ones. So last night, I was obliged to meet Kuya Rey and Ces to give them my pasalubong. We had our dinner at Mann Hann in Megamall (tnx for the treat, kuya rey! Well, I think, it’s my turn again.. ang bilis..).

After dinner, we went to the cinema after I learned that Lea Salonga was one of the judges of Philippine Idol in Cinema 3. To my surprise (and even to kuya rey’s surprise), we saw Eula Valdez in her black terno carrying a bouquet of flowers. She was with Tita Ange (wow, close!). We were star struck by her presence, that we didn’t realize that we can have a picture with her. Too late, she walked away before we thought of taking a picture of her. (hay, sobrang sayang talaga, kasi we have all the opportunity, kaso nastarstruck talaga kami sa kanya).. Then as we walked through the cinema, we have seen Meryll Soriano being interviewed for her movie REKADOS.

Cinema 3 is at the corner side of the cinemas in Megamall.. We saw people taking pictures with a celebrity. So we went on, and surprisingly saw Ms. Lea Salonga.. She is really beautiful in her gold-black blouse and black slacks. I felt like I was going to faint that time. She even walked in front of me. Too sad, we haven't taken a picture of her.

Then we walked out of the cinema and saw China Cojuangco and took a picture of her with Kuya Rey.

We stayed for a while outside of the Cinema, and realized that it’s also the premiere night of GIGIL. We saw stars and we felt like we were stalkers that time. We have seen, Joseph Bitangcol, Sandara Park, Uma Khouny, Jason (PBB), Rico Barrera, Miguel aka Boom, Say Alonzo, Katrina Halili,




and my other Idol, Ms. Nene Tamayo.


I was really happy when we finally had a picture with Nene.


She’s really kind, and a soft-spoken individual. She just smiled and say nothing but ‘thanks’. But I love her really.

Whoaa! I really love that night.. Imagine, meeting your top three local idols: Ms. Nene Tamayo, Ms. Eula Valdez, and Ms. Lea Salonga. It’s like I am a star-gazer!

Thank you, Lord, for creating Malls, pasalubong and friends.

alas, an encounter with my idol!

Isang Biyernes, October 20, 2006, nagmamadaling umalis ng opisina sina DAYEdalera at Bloggerista.. Pupunta sila ng concert ng kanilang idol.

Habang nasa daan at nakasakay sa taxi, pinipilit nilang itago ang kanilang excitement, naglaro sila ng mga may kinalaman sa plate number. May nakita kasi silang mga plate numbers na nakakatuwa (XGF - ex girlfriend; at UYY - last name ng isa sa kanilang mga boss). Pagkatapos ay naglaro ng buo-buoan ng salita na may mga letra mula sa plate numbers..

Pagdating nila sa Cultural Center of the Philippines, hindi pa nagsisimula ang konsierto kaya't naghapunan muna sila sa pancake house sa loob ng harbour complex, tapat lamang ng CCP. Excited silang makakain ng chicken dahil ipinagmamalaki ito ni Bloggerista. Sa kasamaang-palad, hindi nag-enjoy si DAYEdalera kaya nagyosi sya sa labas.. Buti na lang, bumalik sa kanya ang karma nang may isang tsinoy na bata ang nagsabi sa kanyang ama, "Look Dad, she's a girl and she's smoking!" haha! sutil na bata..

Pagkatapos kumain ay dali-dali na silang pumasok sa CCP. Ang magandang balita ay malapit sila sa stage. O-15 ang upuan ni Bloggerista.. 15 seats ang layo mula sa stage. Bago magsimula ang programa, inihayag na andoon rin pala at nanonood ang Pangulo ng Republika ng Pilipinas, her Excellency Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Ang magandang balita, pang-1500 lang ang tiket nya, sila 2000. haha! well, ang pwestong yun ay para talaga sa mga VIP.

Ang konsiertong pinakahihintay nina DAYEdalera at Bloggerista ay ang "Tomorrow", ang konsierto ni Lea Salonga. Parehong tagahanga ni Lea Salonga ang dalawa kaya kahit mahal ang tiket, okey lang sa kanila.

Nagsimula ang konsierto sa pag-awit ng Lupang Hinirang. Ang programa ay nag-umpisa kay Julia Abueva na paikot-ikot sa stage habang sinusundan ang iba't ibang kulay na siyang pinasimulan ng unang awit na True Colors.

Matapos ang ilang awitin ay nagkaroon ng 15 minutes break. Nagbanyo muna sila, pero hindi sabay. Hindi nasimulan ni Bloggerista ang ikalawang yugto, dahil masyadong marami ang nasa banyo.

Natapos ang konsierto sa awiting Tomorrow, ang pinakatema ng konsierto. Ngunit dahil sa hindi mapigilang paghanga ng mga manonood, muling umawit si Lea Salonga ng Pagdating ng Panahon.

Lumabas na sila sa loob ng Bulwagan ngunit bitin pa rin sa presensya ni Lea Salonga. Naghintay sila sa labas upang makatingin na rin ng souvenir items, gaya ng albums, CDs, at souvenir program ng konsierto.

Maya-maya ay nagkaingay na ang mga tao. Si Lea Salonga na raw ang lumabas. Dahil sa excitement ni Bloggerista, sumingit sya sa mga tao, at nakitang si PGMA pala un. Umatras sila, dahil hindi na sila masyadong interesado. Ilang beses na nilang nakadaupang palad si PGMA. Maya-maya pa'y pababa ng hagdanan ang bumubuo sa konsierto kabilang na si Ms. Lea Salonga. Dali-dali silang pumunta sa lugar na un, at inihanda ang kamera. Kinuhanan lang nila si Ms. Lea Salonga hanggang sa ito'y umakyat na muli sa hagdanan.

Kaya nag-picture taking na lang sila sa tabi ng poster. Nakabili din sila ng souvenir ng konsierto.

Isa itong hindi makakalimutang pangyayari sa kanilang buhay.

Ang mga nagsiganap:

Daye Tolentino as DAYEdalera
Nysa Tolentino as Bloggerista

Bulacan is one of the 10 local government units to receive a special citation from the United Nations which recognizes efforts to fulfill a global promise to eradicate poverty by 2015.

The challenged was specified into eight (8) Millenium Development Goals:
