Calalily

Calalily is my favorite flower ever.
Sabi ko nga sa nanay kong mahilig sa tanim bagay sa akin ang bulaklak na ito kasi enchanted parang ako. Di sa pumayag mas bagay daw sa aking maging Dama de noche. Kagila-gilalas! Hahahahahaha!Natawa tuoly ako kasi pati si Mommy nakikisali na sa kalokohan ko.

Jogging

Jogging is what we do every mornings of Saturdays and Sundays!

Lover's in Paris

I was in Davao when I texted my bestfriend Evelyn to visit me home.
We prefer kasi to spend time together in Dacoville (where we spent memories with janet during our college days) than strolling around in the mall. That way, I can cook for them. She appreciates my cooking kaya ko sya labs .

She was telling me the Korean telenobela na Lover’s IN Paris aired in AbsCBN. At that time, I was not watching any TV shows pa. Ewan kung bakit. I might be busy siguro working in the field. Imposible naman na I won’t watch TV kasi nung hindi pa nauuso ang internet at cable, apart from book reading, I’m a certified TV addict.

I smelled her! She loves that soap opera! She is really into Vivian and Carlo. Duda nga ako na until now, she’s not over yet ke Carlo! She was even amazed how Korean Artist do their story. Simple plot, basic boy meets girl story and yet, they can make the audience fall into the character so deeply.
I also remember discouraging her na hindi magaling ang Korean.
In-edit lang yan ng mga pinoy. Mas magaling pa rin ang mga Pinoy Bes!
Ganyan ang sinabi ko at marami pang iba. Not considering how involved she was sa soap na yun ha? Pero sadya ngang magaling magtago ng feelings si Bes kasi nga no argument happened. She makes everything smooth-sailing despite of all my panlalait sa mga Korean soap opera’s that she currently love watching. Nyeee…naisip ko tuloy ang sama ko naman, di ko pinakinggan si Bes! But don’t worry Bes, kinain ko naman yung mga sinabi ko.

After her visit, I made sure to watch the show. Believed me, just like other pinoy, na-hooked na rin ako ng Lover’s in Paris.

By August yata Piolo and KC will be doing the Pinoy version of it.
Pero mas panonoorin ko yata ang version ng Full House ni Richard Guttierez and feeling ko lang, yung kapatid ni Ara Mina ang magple-play ng role ng bidang girl.
Di ko kasi masyadong like si Piolo kapag hindi di Juday ang partner nya. Sa mga bagay na iyan, pasensya na, traditional ako.

Keep them real

The house is never the same without them. I wanted to object when their Mom Cielo took them from us but I refrain from doing so. I knew how she feels living far away from her kids. I’m a witness how affected Maxine and Lean are. No matter how much we have shown love for the kids, iba pa rin ang pagmamahal ng ina. Itong puso ko, nasa mga bata. I’m also a mother. God knows how much I sacrificed for Bien and it was all worth it. My only question is that why can’t she sacrifice for her 3 wonderful daughters?


It was more than five months when she left the kids including her 6 months old baby to us. I honestly understood her feelings but whenever I saw Maxine crying quietly inside her room, I hate her. I hate her being so selfish. I hate her for not trying to fixed things up between her and my brother. I even hated my brother three times more than I hated Cielo.
Hate ko silang dalawa for giving that kind of life to their daughters!
Maxine telephoned us. In our phone dialogue she told us na wala silang baon sa school. She got no books!
It tear my heart into pieces. They’re never been in that situation when they were here.
My parents will provide for them. I will also make sure to buy some things we share to make fun. I facilitate their needs in schooling. They will sleep with me, watch Tele with me, laugh and play with me. We spend our whole day together especially when I’m just home.
Kaya nung umalis sila, masyado akong nanibago.
Cielo and my brother Darwin know what kind of relationship the kids do have to us. They were our babies and up to now, we still long for them.

Working Vacation

While working as an Evironmental Writer, I had with me my most respected Photographer/Artist partner Yuri. She drives her own old car when we travel outside the City for work. We have fun and never felt like working at all.
Its already been five months that we have not work together so her visit to me yesterday was a big surprise. She came from a seventy-minute travel from Maasim, Sarangani Province with her brand new car. I'm not so sure about the brand so surfing acura tl review will help us visualize the newest model she got.

My astonishment seems endless. In my whole life I never imagine
owning a car. Riding a public utility jeepney, bus, and any other transportation vehicle is enough satisfaction. From there, I would have more chance of knowing my neighbors and other people I mingled with while mobiling publicly. But not for a few minutes yesterday while seeing her going out from the driver seat of her newly acquired baby. I'm aching to know more about scion tc. I just remember reading that in a magazine with a friend in a cafe last month!

I daydream of owning that kind of vehicle too! Driving it with my own witch like fashion attire while going back again to law school.

“Look at my new car!” she told me.
“Trouble-free. Everything is easy to use.” She added while my eyes, still glued to her car.
“Who gave you that?” I asked her . I touched the car slowly as if I’m confirming if its real or not.
“I bought it through net.” she answered.
And I said “Wow, great!”

We go out together and have the car tested in Oval Plaza, just in the City proper of General Santos. We texted Gladys and Nayumi to join us in our fun driving activity yesterday.
When Gladys and Nayumi saw the car, obviously, they felt the same way I do. Nayumi keeps on asking her about the a certain model of a car and so they talk about kia reviews

The car is easy to use. It is affordable and satisfaction is 110 percent guaranteed!

P.S. I Love You

I read this book twice.
The first was in Midsayap last year while doing something and the second one was this week. I esteemed the story in my last reading. I was involved!

The person who crossed my mind is my good friend Jayvee. I remember her chaos during the time when her husband, a very good friend, go through a serious puwedeng fatal disease. He is better now and I truly thank God for that wonderful miracle.

In the book
Holly’s husband died. For a time, the wife grieved her loss. What amazes me was the way her husband, even in death, helped her survived and accepted the loss. In the end, Holly live her life again.

Why Ireland
Gerry, the deceased husband lived in Ireland. At the end of the story, in a way, the place was featured with its simple and astonishingly nice setting!
(Naisip ko rin na kaya pala napili ni Michael Jackson umi-stay ng two years sa Ireland after nung kaso nya dahil sa simpleng pamumuhay dun).

Remembering Jayvee
I remember Jayvee because I always wonder why she’s into Ireland and Irish human beings as well. I know the place is beautiful and the human beings too but I WONDERRRRRR still.

Inorder to satiate my curiosity I even tried reading books authored by Irish people like Frank McCourt, Alice Sebold and Cecilia Ahern.
It was only today that I appreciated Jayvee’s craze .
Jayvee seems to be very influential to me.
She brought me the koreanwave and now the Irishwave.
Ano pa kaya?
Hmm… an Irish music and food?
Why not…

Teka, sabog yata ang utak ko parati.
My thoughts are not organized.
Basta kung ano lang ang maisip yun ang isinusulat.
Idol ko kasi si Chowder ng Cartoon Network.
Scattered Brain! A-ha-ha! Di na bale.
Di ko naman kelangan magpataba ng ego.

The Half Blood Prince

I was in the theater during the first day-showing of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Take note, first day and first hour of the worldwide showing.

I've been hoping that General City would also consider the worldwide showing of that movie. Kasi kung hndi, namu-mublema si witchy! Davao is a three-hour ride pa from GenSan. So ang sigurado akong mangyayari is tatawidin ko talaga ang mga bundok makapanood lang!
Ang babaw ko nga because I was really happy participating in that big event! Basta JK Rowling, I always consider it bIg tiMe.

I had with me my cellphone and have dialed my friend's number when the white-bearded Hogwart's master died in the story. Then, they will phone me back para sabihing masama akong tao for watching alone! YeP, tama! Masama talaga because when I'm into something, I wanted to be alone! Nang-asar lang kaya me tawag-kita-phone gimmik.

I'm done reading all the Harrypotter Books tapos yung pinaka-highlight para sa akin ay 'yung movie. Kaya gagawin ko talaga lahat makapanood lang ng first-day-first-hour!

Regarding the movie, I have no disappointments at all. Yun nga lang, bitin ang movie but there's nothing to worry kasi bitin nga talaga iyon kahit sa book.
It was really like that, once you are there, you would ask for more!
But in the end, I will assure you na makukuntento kang talaga.
Basta ako, nung natapos ko na lahat basahin, suwabe ang aking pagkabusog!

Naisip ko lang na if ever na hindi ko talaga nasubaybayan ang book, maloloka ako sa pagkabitin. Really, I'm glad to have eaten all the book series.

So right now, 'm busy reading the books again.

Siguro 'yung book seven hahatiin sa dalawang movie para lang magkasya ang buong story ng Harry Potter.

aahhh.... i can't wait!

Thriller

Sa lahat ng JACKO music, ito 'yung pinaka-favorite ko.
It's a short-film-like, na MTV, na medyo may pagka-odd.
When I was a girl I used to imagine singing like him with a witchy-back-up dancers! "yung mga witch na sexy at bloody pretipul naman"

Michael Jackson is one of the greatest. Music nya yata yung parati kong naririnig while growing-up kaya lang at that time masyado akong loyal ke Madonna kaya medyo di ko sya napapansin. Isa lang naman ang sigurado, everytime I heard his music, nakikinig at nakiki-indak ako. Henyo nga syang talaga!
I'm just lucky to grow up with his and Madonna's era.

i'm just a little girl

My room is filled with her music almost everyday!
Ayyy!!!! Napapalipad din ako, huh!
I truly enjoyed the show.
You know, if I'm going to describe my self in a song, ito na yun. Enchanted!

Reading Lolita in Tehran

It was last year when I met my iranian client named Farley. In my months of working with her in Manganes Extraction Project, we've always talked about iranian writers who usually wrote their hardship during the revolution in the 90's. She gave me the book entitled PRISONER IN TEHRAN. I'm not sure about sharing that in my blog but this is about the experience of a sixteen year old girl named Marina Nemat who was arrested on false charges by Iranian Revolutionary Guards and tortured in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison. The book will teach us more about an extra-ordinary faith when facing evil.
Personally, I can't even imagine how to survive in the Evin Prison when all I can hear were pain, death, injustice.
Basta naramdaman ko na lang that I finished the book in one reading. I can not comprehend why on earth there are people who ruled their country like that. Kaya nga siguro kahit papano we are lucky for enjoying TOO much democracy. Hahaha. Iniiwasan ko na ang mag comment politically wala rin kasing patutunguhan. Ipinagdarasal ko na lang ang bayan natin na sana mapalayo sa mga demonyo. Kawawa naman tayong mga anghel.
~Going back to my real issue ~
Right now, I just purchased this book "Reading Lolita in Tehran".
I've seen the glimpse of this kanina in CNN while they're were featuring the Election fallout in that country.
Nagbakasakaling available sa bookstore at napangiti naman ako na nandun ang libro.
Aba, mas updated pa yata ako sa nangyayari ke Iran kesa ke Pinas. Tayong mga Pilipino hindi naman ganun ka-barbaric. Hindi yata natin kayang pagbaril-barilin yung mga nagra-rally. Pero sila ... grabe! I have not started reading the book yet but for sure I will in time na matapos ko na.
The last time I heard about Farley eh last year din. She was pregnant! I hope they are all fine.

I'd like to say sorry ke Connie Myfriend kasi the last time na she was waiting for me online , nagbrown-out ! Kaya tuloy, medyo nagtatampo ang babaeng iyun sa akin. I've read all ur offlime messages Connie. heer up... cheer up... I'm still here. Don't worry. Our friendship will last di ito katulad ng sa inyo ni Mommy Arcel. I won't let u down. I'm a friend 'till the end Conniebaby! kissessss......

Andyeego Lexus P. Mendoza

The name was inspired by Lex Luther of Smallville. He is the villain in the story. I love the mystery in him tapos hindi ko pa ma-define -define kung ano talaga ang laman ng utak nya. Kung susuriin mo, para bang ang lalim na di mo kayang wariin! That is why he got me.

Andee from Andy Garcia. His memory is set in a special place in my heart. Kelangan na talagang ma-visualize sa sarili kong buhay.

Lana Inyeego P. Mendoza

If I'll get pregnant with a baby girl, her name would be Lanaa Inyeega P. Mendoza.

I was calling my husband yesterday about this. He was all laughing with the idea. I'm not getting any younger na. Bien hates it when I baby treat him. He will always remind me na binata na sya whewn we are in school. At kapag pinagpapawisan, di na amoy baby.

I also realized how sad it is having a small family. I've seen it in my husband's mother.

She's all alone now. She only have two sons. Both have their own family. Patay na rin kasi ang father ni Hubby. Kaya nga , we give effort to spend our special holidays with her in Davao.

Iba na rin kasi yung me kapatid si Bien. Para naman pag nawala na kami ng tatay nya meron syang kapatid na matatakbuhan o matutulungan.

Can't you see? Me senyales na that I'm getting old. Nagiging dramatic ang bruha.

Wahhhh!

Fine!

Ito na 'yung real reason why I wanna have kids.

Overwhelmed pa kasi ako sa TV series na Smallville.

Masyado kong mahal si Lex kaya dapat me significant remembrance sya sa life ko.

Maganda naman si Lana Lang at type ko yung episode kung saan siya ay na-possessed ng witch kaya medyo naging witchy ang fashion nya. Higit sa lahat, masyado kong nagustuhan ang motiff ng kasal nila ni Lex. Favorite flower at color ko pa ang ginamit.

Hehehehe

"ganyan lang talaga ako kababaw mga mare."

Lana (from Kristin Kreuk's character in Smallville)

Inyeego- (from the indigo color family which includes lavander, violet, purple)

Panu kung boylet?

Pinag -iisipan ko pa. pero syempre dapat andun ang pangalang lex luther.

Suggestion is open!

Going home

When I saw my Mom and Lola getting inside the airport, that was when my tears really started to fall. I missed her.

Her stay with us lasted for 4 months but it always feels like forever.

My connection with my Lola is so strong. She loves everything I like. She told me that my genes were from her 100 percent. And yeah, I agree. We both love witchcrafty and The Buzz!

After three hours of travelling back to Manila with my Mom. Lola then texted me. She wrote: "I will never forget you until I live."

I cried again. I almost felt her wind touching me.

Si Lola talaga.....

Haiko

Face marked with smile

Cold like an eering ice cubes

Oh, soft tears, hard life

lex

Kakapanood ko ng Smallville, nainlove na ako ng tulayan ke Lex Luther.
Mabait naman sya dito at para sa akin isa syang loveable na tao.
Yung the way sya magmahal, gusto ko ng ganun. Tahimik, mysterious at medyo psycho.
Katulad nya kasi ako, di ko maintindihan kung talaga bang isa akong mabuting tao o pakitang-tao lang.
Hehehehe... joke lang po.
Hayaan nyo, one of these days, magpo-post na rin ako ng kahit papano'y merong ka-sense sense na topic. For sure, lahat ay tungkol ke Lex.
I'm Over with Andy Garcia.
Si lex na ang kapalit.
Basta until now, naiisip-isip ko pa ang lalaking yun.
Hayzzz...
Sarap naman.... (laswa!)

Ann Brook, the caring psychic

Most of my friends adore my talent in love psyhic reading. In fact our friendship started every time I would asked to read their palm and tell them things I know they would love to hear. Bitchy? Yeah... in a way. But there are feelings within me that pushes me to tell those words to them. I even wonder because most of it really happens. Its been like that for years until I have mastered it. Card reading and tarrot reading were one of the things I do that truly makes my friends, family and closest relative wonder as to where that talent came from.

It started during highschool were I predicted most of the students who would end up together and as to who are not meant to be.

I was known as the love fortune teller in our campus. For the whole time in highschool I have not enjoyed my own lovelife. I was just busy forecasting for those around me.

But in a way, that talent became so helpful to me in terms of gaining friends. They find it easy to be with me and most of the friendship I've got were brilliantly genuine.

In college, I've lessen doing those things.

I was even pre-occupied doing some other things most teenagers do.

But just today, I have the urge to do the witchy stuff again.

This talent I learned from the psychic book I read and I'm positive to learn more from Ann Brook.

Vaseline

Bien was busy looking for his classmates and friends from grade 1 in his new grade 2 room. He was a little sad knowing that most of his closest friends were no longer his classmate. Other closed friends like Dominick and Jhoncooooolark moved residency. They have been together since kinder 1 so the feeling naman talaga is quite normal . It just amused me finding their friendship so pure.

This week, Bien's shool is busy screening those students who would fill the fast learner section in every grader. During my visit last Friday, his teaher told me about Bien asking him some question kung bakit 'yung isang classmate nya nung grade one na-remain pa rin sa fast learner section.

The teacher was so friendly relaying to me the story na nakatulong naman upang di ko maramdaman yung kaunting hiya sa kaprangkahan ni Bien.

It started when 4 of his classmates were crying kasi ililipat na sa ibang section. Bien tried to comfort them until he stand-up from his chair and asked some questions sa teacher.

Bien: Teacher, I have a question.

Teacher: Yes?

Bien: Bakit si PeXXX still in this section?

Teaher: (first reaction daw nya ay naka-smile) Because he knows how to read already.

Bien: Really?

He goes infront the whyteboard. Wrote the word VASELINE (Siguro kasi yun ang shampoo nya)

Bien: PeXXXXX You read this please.

Teacher: PeXXXX Bien is challenging you to read the word.

PeXXXX: Stands up sabay kamot sa ulo ulo nito. Then, he reads in syllable VA-SE-LI-NE.

Bien smiled.

Bien: Nahh... I told you teacher. He reads like a robot. Fast learners reads like this: VaSEline!

Some other classmates also raised their hands and read like Bien. Tapos sinabi nila ke teacher na pang fast learner din sila because thay can read fluently.

Actually nung naikwento na sa akin ni Teacher ito, quite lang ako. Walang reaction. It gives me a moment na pag-isipan kung yumayabang na ba ang personality ni Bien.

Yung kaprangkahan kasi nya, I no longer find it cute.

who would remain in the fast learner section. Some were already eliminated and transfered in other sections. and

I'm actually thinking of unsubscribing my internet connection for a while until i will have new clients again. This is a part of my cost-cutting strategy. It's just that my son is too connected with the internet. He said he can not afford to sign off. Whoaa... cute!!! "yun lang ang sad part. But the rest is okey lang naman. Wala eh, positibo kasi akong tao kaya doon ako mag-i-istick sa mas tamang gawin.

It is more practical if the payment intented for smartbro will realign in to bookbuying.
So maybe next month, padalaw-dalaw na lang muna ako dito.
I hope you would still find time to visit my house.
So long!!!!!

tHANKS mOM
