New Home

After almost living in our family house in Manila for 25 years, i will finally move out. To where? I am still searching.

I am looking for a room for rent or a cheap apartment either in Manila or Makati. Any help is highly appreciated.

Buzz me.

Manny Pacquiao and Our Taxes

yeah, yeah, yeah. Manny Pacman Pacquiao won over Ricky Hatton. Most Filipinos have supported the pambansang kamao on his latest title fight. Even if the match lasted for barely 2 rounds, Filipinos rejoiced on Manny’s triumph. Congratulations…

And the Filipinos where back to the reality of their own problems.

Days passed.

President GMA decided to give Pacman a ceremonial thank you through a motorcade in major routes in the metro. It should have been last Friday, then moved to today (Monday) and i am not sure if it was rescheduled on Wednesday.

A plastic ribbon colored with Red, Blue and White were printed with the congratulations and bayaning Pilipino note for Pacman. It was tied up on the threes, lamp posts, street signs, fences, bridges and everywhere and anywhere men in blue can get their hands on. This ribbon as others claim, would be the route for Manny’s motorcade.

On my way to work yesterday, i was surprised that all the roads that i pass through have these ribbons waving with all smiles at me. At first i was amazed on how the men in blue were able to put these ribbons in places you can’t think of. But i suddenly realized that, the government (GMA) paid for these ribbons. Yes, the red,blue and white ribbons are the taxes withheld from my salary. Damn.

That plastic thingy hanging around with all smiles at me, are there because, we normal tax payers are giving the government funds to peruse for whatever action they may think of.

Okay, I may be a little bit over-acting here, but come to think of it. After the motorcade, where will these ribbons go? Trash? Partly correct, it will just add up to pollution for sure.

Correct, nice thinking, the money we worked hard for, became ribbons then became rubbish.

Ang saya ‘di ba? Because we wanted to congratulate Manny for winning another title belt, we had our salaries withheld and  face to face see our money become waste.

Most Filipinos shelled out money just to watch Pacman fight for barely 2 rounds. It’s not worth it right? Then comes the govt that used our taxes paid for his wlecome celebration. The Govt could have hanged 1 kilo of rice or something else that may be beneficial for the majority. Not to mention, the possible super mega traffic this motorcade may bring about.

I am not a fan or Pacman nor someone who dislikes Manny, I am just a concerned citizen that was alarmed of the ribbons used and traffic i might encounter because of Pacman’s victory. If this would happen everytime Manny wins, then I hope for Pacman’s loss next time.

And BTW, after 2 rounds of the boxing, who became rich? pacman.

us? broken due to the live watching and double broken because taxes were used for the celebration, and super loser because, we normal citizens will bear the traffic Pamcan’s motorcade will cause.

Isn’t enough that almost everyone watched him fight? Do we really need to waste money to show we appreciate his winnings?

If you find this post rude, go ahead, vote Manny as Congressman of Saranggani.

Bring Me to Life

This is a shout out to myself to revive my blogging prowess.

It was almost half a year that i visited this one.

Any kind of help to revive my blog is well appreciated.

Proxy season (work) will soon be over and i hope to blog again.

Cheers to 2009!

Finally,  2008 will come to a close by tomorrow midnight! Yipee, a new year to look forward to, a new year to start things over and a new year of triumphs and failures. But as this year ends, i want to thank all those who in one way or another made me a better person. This time of the year would equate to a time of looking back, realizing the opportunities to grow and reminiscing what has transpired.

2008 was both a rewarding and challenging year for me, i might be sure which one outweighed the other, I am definite that i have no regrets for whatever happened this year.

As for a new year’s resolution, i can only think of one:

Don’t make a resolution.

Why? Because in history, I was able to maintain some of it and some sank in the drain.  For a change, instead of a resolution, I am making a wishlist for 2009.

- More shopping.  More Gadgets.  More fun.

- Enjoy single blessedness in a non-sensual manner.

-Invest and save at least 100K (Asa! pero, wish lang naman)

-Maturity in terms of career and everything about work (eto kase kulang sa evaluation ko na huli)

-more friends, i mean close, dear and true friends

-allowance for big purchases and moves

-BLOG.

hehehe. wala pa ako iba maisip, pero i’ll update as soon as may maisip ako.

For now,  A prosperous and happy new year to all! Cheers!

Sa uulitin po sa 2009

Season’s Greetings!

It’s the time of the year to greet my loved ones and friends a heart felt greeting this holidays.

I may have been silent and lazy to blog, but the friends I got here are dear to me still. Hopefully, when 2009 starts, my will to blog would be revived.

For now, I just want to wish you, your family and friends a Merry Christmas and a Bountiful New Year.

It’s not with the gifts nor the expenses, but the joy brought about by love, friendship and family  that is worth celebrating! Cherish the people dear to you always, as you may not know until when they will still be there

For those I haven’t met  personally, darating din tayo dyan!

Happy Holidays!

Huli!

My blog was dormant for quite some time but thanks to a search engine, I always get a hit/view more than as expected. And today, I want to thank that engine as a person in my same office finally found and read my blog. There’s is nothing to worry about any posts or whatever but i was amazed how internet is really an information highway, or speed zone if i may say.

There he was, early this morning I got a ym from my teammate, asking if I write stuff online. I said yes and due to my stupidity of choosing the same name of our xmas party theme in my post, he was able to read through. This incidence is just a proof that it’s a very small world after all.

I’m not worried or concerned of whatever was published online but I am a little embarrased for some details disclosed here, if he was very close to me, then it wouldn’t be a problem, and maybe, just maybe, he could use what was written as a way to annoy me. (Takot e no)

O well, read on my dear officemate, saying your name would be too much exposure for you. Be thankful, i had a post for you, if you will read all my posts, only the deserving of my love and interest gets their name or initials published. Hahaha. As if you care. Anyhow, see you around our office.

PasKomiks

For this year, the theme for our company christmas party will be anyone seen in comics or comics turned into shows. Easy may it seem but it’s really hard to ponder on which character I will be. My first option is to buy Naruto costume in Comic Alley, however, buying it will have chances of seeing it on my colleagues too. That option is for lazy persons who finds immediate solutions rather than preparign for it.

As i ponder more on what to wear on our christmas party, I began to think. Is Christmas really for kids only? 2008 have been a challenging year financially for me, maybe that’s why. Anyway, any suggestions for a good comic costume?

It may be foreign or local comic character.

Passing By

Just like the wind that swiftly blows around us, i am passing by my blog. It has been more than a month since my last post and update. Several things happened but just the same am still khentutz in the blogosphere.

There were those tempting days when I’d love to blog, but before i could even start a post, tinatamad ako. Not that i don’t want to blog anymore but I seem to lack the energy to type what my heart and mind tells me.

As a gist, i am no longer with the one i call hubby due to some reasons i can’t comprehend until now. BBTF with DM. And this time, i think it’s sweeter and better. I’m into travel trips and music as of the moment. I got back to being a dvd guy and home bud ulit. But im still struggling to get back the blogger me.

So here i am, trying to make sense, trying to blog and hopeful to get the energy to blog i used to have.

Falling Hair???

For the Nth time, as i hurriedly walked to the washroom of our office floor, i saw pubes on the urinal. There was never a time that i didn’t see a pube on the urinal. So i tried to observe more. I tried using different urinals at different times of the day, to my luck, there are still pubes.

You may ask, it might be coming from me. Answer is NO. Before i take a leak, i always look down on the urinal checking it’s cleanliness, and low and behold, pubes everywhere. EEWWWWWW.

So for the last few weeks i let go of this thought. But as i took a leak today, there it was lying once again on the urinal a long threaded pube. The moment i finshed peeing, i looked at all the urinals, yes! good guess, pubes everywhere. I began to think, is it normal for pubes to fall when someone is peeing???

I asked my straight male friends in the office and they all told me that their pubes does not fall either. I know it’s hygiene to shave or trim one’s pube but to do it in a public place? geez. I even looked it up in google but to no avail i had no answer. Does your pube fall off when leaking???

8-8-8

Triple 8s. Triple the luck triple the fun. As this day marks a very special day on the calendar two events i am aware of would happen this 08-08-08. One is an event i had never gone to before and the other is my comfort zone, a sweet escape i found when i was down and blue but being reborned this time.

I love trance and house music and my hubby is a fanatic too. Not just a fanatic but also  party goer to trance parties. Yes, you got the right thing in mind. Tomorrow will be Big Fish’s God’s Kitchen @ A-Venue in Makati Ave. In as much i am afraid of crowd that i will be going tomorrow, i chose it over my sweet escape. This event is important for my hubby and i will show my support by being with him. This plan of going to big fish was set a month ago and just one more night, it’s the big night @ the big fish. I am anxious because i am not used to go to such parties and such crowd where almost everyone struts their style and fashion and everything else. Hinde kase ako ganun. Ngaun e talagang kinakabahan na ako what could happen tomorrow. I don’t even know what to wear and if what i am thinking to wear is appropriate.   I just hope everything will be fine with my hubs by my side, well, that is to be classified pa, syempre party yuna nd andun lahat ng party friends nya so may possibility talaga that at some points in the event i could be left alone and secluded from the rest. However, marami nga nagagawa ang pag-ibig sa taong nagmamahal, i will still push through with my hubby tomorrow with the hopes of having a great time together for the first time for a big event.  Here’s the poster for the Big Fish’s God’s Kitchen Worldwide:

First Event Together With Hubby

The other event that will be taking place on 08-08-08 will be the launch of Pink Republic Bar formerly known as El Nuevo Boracay 1 found in Tomas Morato. The Pink Republic Bar will be situated in Tomas Morato corner E. Rodriguez Ave., just beside Shell Gas Station. This was my sweet escape before when my previous relationship ended up. I spend nights here drinking and laughing with the performances. After which i gained true and sweet friends here. I would have chosen to go here if it was not 08-08-08 because i had given my word already to my hubby. And my friends just sent the invite to the new bar last monday night after 1.5 months of asking them when will it open. The short notice for me will not work as i will not argue the event with my hubby.  Here’s the Launch poster for PInk Republic Bar, however,  it is dated July 12, 2008. This was the former date that the bar will start operating but was pushed until 08-08-08.

El Nuevo Boracay 1 to Pink Republic Bar

As this day ends, 08-08-08 begins, will i be lucky this day? Will the triple signs of eternity and good luck prove its charm? I dunno. I just wanna be with my hubby.
