'Mangirig tang tanan'

Tobma. Nikatay 30 ka kilometro ang kasaba tungod sa usa ka superstar. Maayo na lang kay wala mi makakuyog didto sa San Remigio. Kay kung nahitabo pa mas grabe ang pag-kirig sa mga tawo.

Ug sa dihang i received a call nga mas mukirig pa gyud ang makadungog:

I am afraid of responsibility. Yes. It would be an upgrade for myself. An opportunity but I am not yet ready for it. I have talked with the boss and said that he wants it to be my call, my decision. Part of me wants to say yes, the other no.

But I said NO. Although it would open a lot of possibilities for me to venture and explore what I can do. But still, I am afraid. I am now happy, contented and enjoying what I am doing right now. Writing and taking photos has become a part of my system already that it would be hard to let got of it.

So long... hmmm I wonder what those people might say... Lol.

ms. toothache is gone

I visited a dentist this morning. I took a very deep breath and had taken time preparing myelf before Mama grabbed the door handle which says PUSH.

The last time I visited a dentist was during my entrance to college. We were required to have a dental check-up before we are admitted to college together with a medical examination. Thus, I had some of my decayed precious teeth filled with those friendly-looking cements.

What happened this morning was different. I had to be in the dental clinic to end my sufferings. Toothache attacks had been hounding for the last quarter of 2007. I had always been brave not to see a dentist... because I am afraid of them.

Ms. Veronica extracted my poor ugly tooth. Ma asked if i wanted to take it is a souvenir but I said no. I don't want to remember the miseries it had given me. It wasn't that painful at all. Thanks to anesthesia and modern dental equipments.

I am saying goodbye to Ms. Toothache. But today... "Pangag na ko!"

Dear Lando

Typhoon Lando, that caused the fall of my father's mini-banana plantation (ahemmm) last Monday, had forced restaurants and fast food chains to opt for candle-lit dinners. Reggie and I had our early dinner in Carlo's Batchoy (Boulevard) while waiting for Yotchie (who finished his shift at 5pm instead of 9pm).

Was PAGASA's forecast failed to inform the general public that a signal no. 2 storm was coming? Well, I'd say yes because I personally did not know that there was a storm coming despite the fact that I was housed that day in a government edifice. There was no radio. Though there was an internet connection, one could not get LIVE updates from the net coming from PAGASA (if there was, kindly inform me).

The typhoon had caused the death of ten people in Mindanao.Here in Cebu, we were lucky enough (despite the short-notice) that there were no deaths reported except for the death of electricity that postponed my mother's binignit session. There were some billboards that fell and as well as trees (especially those lining Jones Ave.), a lot of people got stuck in traffic, and oh the Christmas Tree in Fuente toppled down.

It was fun walking in the dark city, passing through closed shops, people on their own minds trying to reach home, the fallen leaves, the branches, and the november wind. If Lando was a lover, he was so romantic.

That Weirdness We Call Love

We are all a little weird

and life’s a little weird,

and when we find someone whose weirdness

is compatible with ours,

we join up with them

and fall in mutual weirdness

and call it love.

I am about to send Yotchie a personally-created card coz I do not have the luxury of buying one in the store (reason: tomorrow pa ang sweldo).

Weirdness, such a fanciful word to relate love. Sigh! I miss Yotchie so much.

Yotchie and I hadn't met since Saturday. And I miss him so much. We sometimes think that we are into a "long-distance relationship" everytime we talked over the phone, which I found a bit interesting as well pretending that it was true.

And last night, he called me up asking If I could attend his concert. I told him I can't. I wasn't really convince that he could play the guitar because for the last two years of beig with him, I never and ever heard him play. And most of all he does not sing.

His text mssg:

"im playing guitar now. Wud u like to hear? (smiley)" - 02.13.07, 10:01pm

"Bai? (smiley) ac2ualy i got a concert 2nyt at waterfront. I want u 2 b der (smiley) -02.13.07, 11:00pm

So i was really touched when he sang "Love Song (311)", "Stuck In A Moment (U2)" and "Back To Good (Matchbox)". As in! Mura jud recording.. hahahaha cguro if American Idol Jurors would hear it, they would have a different comment than mine but I heard it from a heart going through my heart. Char! Whew!

Bitaw, ikaw kuno beh kantahan sa tawo nga kahibalo ka dili gyud mukanata, dili bka ma-Touch? Hahahahaha Thanks Yotchie for the songs. Weird gyud tang duha! Happy Valentine's Day!

A NeoGreeting

Weeeh! Yotchie sent a NeoGreeting to me and was so touched coz of all the online greetings, he used Neopet. It was just so unexpected of him.

Heart Matters

I set two of my phone's alarm clock to 6:15am (in which I know that in my dreams ra gyud ni nga makamata ko at that time) , and I kept on postponing it. I feel like I still need a couple more hours of sleep but reality check, it's a busy Monday! A phone call from Yotchie kicked me up. "Padulong nako office", he announced and I shamefully replied, "I just woke up!"

Yawn! Waahhh! Trabaho na sad!

I wasn't able to watch Breakfast nor Blue's Clue coz I was scampering my way to take a bath, brush my teeth, pack my lunch and grab my earthly favorite shirt and pants to match (for a thousand times, I was reminded by my boss to wear something executive, but I can't really quite hear it -- hahahaha). The jeepney ride was fine and a bit interesting as well observing & listening to jeepney talks. There was this a bit old passenger talking to the driver about his commuting experiences in Manila compared to Cebu. The driver said that it could be better if Cebu adapt's the MRT system. Well, yes, I think it's far much better if we could have this stations for every city and municipality especially for those people in Danao who are working in Cebu and Lapu-lapu City (vice-versa).

And should we rejoice that we grabbed back the title for the most number of kissing couples from Hungary? Hmmm, so we are really that showy loving people, right? I asked Yotchie if we could join Lovapalooza if ever there is one in Cebu, but, he just give me a meaningful smile. So what was that suppose to mean Yotchie?

And still more about the hearts... If ever you have watched Rated K last night, all their topics were about the heart. The heart is the most hardworking organ in our body. "A man can't live without a heart". As long as the heart beats, there would always be life, there is hope and there is love. Thus, we are duty bound to care of it. Take note that the most common disease that causes fatality are heart-related problems, to wit: stroke, arterosclerosis, heart burn etc. As young as 13 year old, whether you are fat or not, our heart is at risk! And of course, we could not allow this traitor to steal way away our numbered lives.

Smokers (including occasional smokers) , fatty people, thosw who maintained an unhealty lifestyle (obviously) are prone to this risks. Thus, Yotchie, quit smoking nah! Protect your heart! Kusog baya ka mukaon pork! And to highlight, even if there is already that techology to examine the heart, "cathlab" and whatever you call that other technologies, it is so expensive!
