Tita, Ma, Nanay or what? (2)

September 10,

I was rehearsing at the bus going back to bataan, of what to say: in my thoughts: 'ahmmm.. tita, kmusta na po kayo?'; 'tito...'. So, I figured what I really wanted to call them, tito and tita.

Heavy rain is pouring and I hardly had a hard time finding their internet shop... so, I called my loveko... since I don't have an umbrella...

after 10 mins of standing on the other side of the road and waiting for the rain to stop that seems to be not, I have to cross the street or I'll be waiting all day long...

braving the storm Marci... I was rain soaked standing on the door of the shop...

T: "Oh! Au! basang-basa ka!"
A: "eh wala po kasi akong payong"
T: "Naku, iha matagal na kitang hinihintay na pumunta dito. Buti at nakadalaw ka na."
A: "eh, nahihiya po kasi ako!"
T: "bakit naman?"
A: "ah... eh... ay may pasalubong po pala ako, Nanay from Palawan."
T: "ay salamat, Au, nabanggit nga ni Bernie na nagpunta ka ng Palawan. Sa kumpanya ba?"
A: "hindi po, Nay, kami lang pong magkakaibigan."
T: "aba mabuti yan at nakaka-travel kayo..."
A: "Eh! Nay, pabigay na lang po kay Tatay yung t-shirt dyan. tas kay lanie po yung bracelet"
T: "Andito nga si Tatay mo kanina, eh umuwi na din kasi malakas ang ulan at walang tao sa bahay..."
....... and so the chit- chat went on and on and on... for about 2-3 hrs...
....... and wait... did I just called them Nanay and Tatay?.....
....... oh well! I guess it has to be it.... wink!

Palawan! Palawan! Palawan!

Sharing my latest trip...

Destination: Puerto Princesa, Palawan

Date: September 4-7, 2008

Airline: Cebu Pacific

With: Weng and Richard

....waiting for our 8 in the morning flight at NAIA Terminal 3

Tita, Ma, Nanay or what?

Q: You know what is my greatest dilemma on my current romantic relationship?
A: How to address his parents...

Sure, it's easy to say call them Tito or Tita, Ma or Nay or Ma'am or Sir... but Gosh! don't push me so hard to take it easy...

I have no problem dealing with the parents of my friends especially the closest... in fact, whenever there's an outing or gimik, their parents would always ask them, "Sino kasama?kasama ba si Au?". And when they say 'yes', no further questions... and they will be allowed to go. Or my friends will ask me to talk to their parents personally to have their permission... and that's what I call sure easy thing to do.

You see, I call my friends parents, Nay and Tay. So, when it comes to my boyfriends' parents, there's this awkward feeling of calling them Nanay and Tatay... right away... I even ask for my friends opinion on what to call them but it didn't help much... thay say, I have to figure it out on my own and we just chuckle all about it...

Geezzz! if there is one thing that really got me twisted over my realtionship, this is it! The pressure to be just natural and be myself with them and that my politeness will not be so overly showing... hahaha! it is all sweat and truly hardwork!!! and my confidence is in low level alarm...

And So... help me God!

Countdown begins

I'm on my graveyard shift...
... and yes! the background music plays only Christmas Songs...

... and yes! we are having our little early noche buena: munching "cheding's" (iligans pride: toasted peanuts) while waiting for midnight then we'll be enjoying ube ensaymada from Goldilocks, a variety of drinks: coke, coffee or milo; Lucky Me's chili hot pancit canton, and nacho chips.

... and yes! group bonding!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

- Ber

Ok so, it's few minutes to go before the -ber months starts... the last quarter of the year... Geeez! and my little "for aguinaldo" box is still empty...

and now, I need to do some goal check...
hmmmmm....
1.) place to visit (local) - Ilocos - check

2.) country to visit - Australia - kaya ng powers ko 'to! hehehe!
3.) new skill - I'm in new department so new skill, new learnings - check

Unang may nais na tapusin na

Pinilit limutin ka hanggang ngayon


Mula ng magwakas, tapusin ng lahat


Hindi maikakailang ikaw pa rin


Papa'no kaya maibabalik


Ang hangaring dati





[Both]Refrain: Ba't di nagkatagpo


Bakit tuloy nagkalayo


Bakit mayro'n pang nadarama


Gayong hindi na tayong dalawa


Bakit magwawakas


Pag-ibig na wagas


Ma'ri bang mangyari pang


Ibigin pang...Muli





[Vina]Kung muling iibigin


H'wag sanang lisanin nang tulad noon


Pagluha'y di na kaya


H'wag na sanang isipin nang tulad gayon





[Bugoy]Hanggang sa nagwakas,


Natapos ang lahat

Nandito lang ako (bago lumayo sa pilling mo)


Higit kang kailangan kailan man (hanggang kailan kaya naman)


Mahala kita (tila) hanap ka (sana) (tunay kaya ito)


Minsan pang bigyan ng daan


Pag-ibig na sa'yo nakalaan

Wall-E

I've seen the movie with my dearest girlfriend, Zashi (I wish, Melay was here...)

... wishing for someone to be with...

... they do have feelings...

... someone to hold...

... sacrifice a lot...

... make the other happy...

... be there always...

..........even if.......

Ate Au

I'm used to being called "Ate Au"...

Case No. 9: Is Love Really Blind?

So, as the saying goes, "Love is Blind."

A Very Special Love

It's a feel-good movie and very wholesome...

I never believed in love
I was deceived by love
I never had much luck with lovers before
And I couldn't compete
I seemed just part of the street
To be walked on by everyone but then

I found a very special love in you
It's a feeling that's so totally new
Over and over, it's burning inside
I found a very special love in you
And it almost breaks me in two
Squeezing me tighter
But I'm never gonna let go

You're not like the rest
I know you're one of the best
You give more than you should
And take nothing in return

Stay always with me
And I always will be
The one person that you can count
On always to love you

And I found a very special love in you
It's a feeling that's so totally new
Over and over, it's burning inside
I found a very special love in you
And it almost breaks me in two
Squeezing me tighter
But I'm never gonna let go

But I...
Found a very special love in you
It's a feeling that's so totally new
Over and over, it's burning inside
I found a very special love in you
And it almost breaks me in two
Squeezing me tighter
But I'm never gonna let go
(Repeat and fade out)

Case No. 8: Happy of Sad?

What would you choose?

Saya ng kwentuhan natin kagabi...

Taken in Singapore Feb. 2007

Take the Initiative

I'm quite disheartened...

This is a Good news!

Arroyo signs law on tax exemption for minimum wage earners and other tax exemptions...

This is good news for us workers...
Arroyo gains a clap from me...

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view/20080617-143153/Arroyo-signs-law-on-tax-exemption-for-minimum-wage-earners

Case No. 7: The Ex

Hmmmmm....

Refreshing kontrabida!

Of all the teleseryes I've followed... Only Lobo catches my full attention... made my time idle... and then freeze till the commercials cue...

Not because of Angel Locsin's 'bold' moves (and body, of course, hehehe!) neither of Piolo Pascual's award-winning acting, nor Pilar Pilapil's... but because of a new kontrabida...

It's refreshing to see a new kontrabida face at primetime...
new acting... new way of delivering lines...
and very effective... grrrrrr!!!

Kudos to ABS-CBN for giving this actor a very good piece.

Make way for Gen. Silva...

Tagalog nga naman...

natuwa ako dito... at napaisip...somehow... hehehe!

Bakit sa Tagalog?

Kung ang I LOVE YOU ay INIIBIG KITA,
bakit ang umiibig(I) at ang iniibig (YOU) ay mukhang tuwirang naglaho sa pagkakasalin?
Dahil ba kung umibig ang Pilipino ay nawawala ang AKO at IKAW at nagiging isa at nagsasanib sa KITA?
Iyon din marahil ang dahilan kung bakit ang kasal ay PAG-IISANG-DIBDIB
at ang asawa ay KABIYAK NG PUSO.

Bakit may tawag tayo sa limang daliri ngkamay---
HINLALAKI, HINTUTURO, HINLALATO, PALASINSINGANat KALINGKINGAN-
pero sa daliri ng paa ay wala?

Kung ang bicycle ay BISIKLETA,
bakit ang motorcycle ayMOTORSIKLO at hindi MOTORSIKLETA?
O kaya'y BISIKLO?

Bakit ang SILANGAN (kung saan sumisilang ang araw) at
KANLURAN (kung saan kumakanlong ang araw) ay maliwanagang ibig sabihin,
pero ang HILAGA at TIMOG ay hindi mo alam ang pinagmulan?

Kung ang likod ng tuhod ay ALAK-ALAKAN,
bakit wala tayong tawag sa likod ng siko?

Kung ang IN ay ginagamit sa gitlapi sa prito para maging PRINITO,
sa gisa para maging GINISA, at sa paksiw para maging PINAKSIW,
bakit sa laga ang ginagamit ay ang unlaping NI para maging NILAGA.
Bakit hindi LINAGA dahil hindi naman natin sinasabing NIPRITO o NIGISA o NIPAKSIW?

Alin ba ang tama? Bakit may tawag tayo sa four seasons-
TAGLAMIG,TAGSIBOL, TAG-INIT at TAGLAGAS-
gayong ang panahon saPilipinas ay TAG-ARAW at TAG-ULAN lamang?

Kung may inang PUTA, bakit walang amang PUTO?
Lahat ba nglalaking kalapati ay matataas ang lipad?

Bakit nakagawian na nating sabihing isang SENTIMO at limang SENTIMOS?
Wala naman sa balarilang Tagalog an gpagdudugtong ng "s" sa pangngalan para ito maging maramihan.
Hindi naman natin sinasabing limang PISOS, 'di ba?

Kung ang left-handed ay KALIWETE, ano ang right-handed?

Kung tradisyunal na nating itinuturing na ang ama ang haligi ng tahanan,
bakit ang asawang babae ay ang MAYBAHAY at ang asawang lalaking ay ang TAO lamang?

Bakit nakasanayan na nating sabihin NAKAKAINIS, NAKAKATAKOT o NAKAKAALIW?
'Di ba ang dapat na inuulitay ang unang pantig ng salitang-ugat?
Kaya dapat ay NAKAIINIS, NAKATATAKOT at NAKAAALIW.

Kung sinasabi nating AMOY ARAW, LASANG IPIS o MUKHANG ANGHEL,
mayroon na ba talagang nakalanghap ng araw, nakatikim ng ipis or nakakita ng anghel?

Mayroon naman tayong LOLO at LOLA, AMA at INA, at TIYO at TIYA,
bakit wala tayong isang-salitang katumbas ng SON at DAUGHTER, NEPHEW at NIECE, at GRANDSON at GRANDDAUGHTER?
Itinuturing ba nating asexual ang ANAK, PAMANGKIN at APO?

Bakit sa Tagalog maraming katumbas angLOVE---
PAG-IBIG, PAGMAMAHAL, PAGSINTA, PAG-IROG,PAGLIYAG, PAGGILIW?
Dahil ba ang Pilipino ay likas napalasintahin?

SATC

Have you seen the flick?

I watched it last thursday... alone... hehehe!

I wasn't able to call my girlfriends to see the movie since I have an earlier appointment and don't know what time it'll be finished.

So, after that I hurried to Glorietta to watch it...

And lo and behold!

It made me cry... laugh... cry... giggle... cry... smile...

It's more than just a chick flick...

Their friendship is undeniably till death do they part...

and their personal relationships are realities at hand...

I recommend to see it with your girlfriends but I think it's better to see it together with your significant other...

learning from their experiences... opinions and personalities

Samantha is a picture of independence...

Charlotte is always charming and dependable...

Carrie is interestingly exquisite...

But I like Miranda's decisiveness and focus with a loving heart...

I'm dating again...!!!

Yep! I'm dating again...

Smile!

I know everytime I smile I brightened up someone's day... hahaha! I'm not boasting here!!!
It's just that, smiling keeps the day lighter and calmer...

For the past gloomy days... when things just don't match well... someone's smile shines through... It may seem to be a dream, but that curl on the lips took my worries away... something in His smile that says, 'My child, everything's gonna be alright..'

Cheer up!

Indeed!

Life is full of surprises...("0",)

Taking a Breather

A breather for awhile...



Yey! Melay is home...

(beside me, Ana, Melay Melody and Zashi)

at Aplaya Festval Supermall, Alabang after watching Ironman.

May 2, 2008









The following night...
At Puncline Quezon Avenue



James is home too...

(Beside me, James, Tess, Rheena, Weng, Mandy and Efren)









We are a fan of Vice-Ganda...































Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger!

Treat ni Mandy!!!

Missing...patience

Whether I have no time sitting in front of a computer or I choose to have no time for it, that I couldn't really figure out...
For the past two weeks, I need to calm myself... Yep! to calm... I think that would be more appropriate word to describe what I'm feeling, rather than to isolate or to sulk or to fret... geeezzz! I've been scanning all the self-help and inspirational books I have to read something about patience... patience and patience...and of course, patience...
I'm getting impatient on some things... and along comes frustrations... If I'm still at the peek of the heat, there's nothing to write, to emphasize other than negative thoughts, ill feelings and pessimism. Huh!
Whether to focus on what I have or to keep looking for better opportunities, the pressure is at high. I can't focus on what is now while my mind is at tomorrow. I can't concentrate on my duties now while I sneak time for something else. It's hard, really! And the fact that what I have now seem to be pushing my limits, sucking my patience, and testng my inner peace...
And the only resort I have found is to make the distance between my knees and the floor zero. It is in prayer I found solace...

Case No. 6: LDR

Aura, why another LDR?

So much to write...

I've got a list of the topics I will write about, but yeah! It's all in the list...
There is so much I would like to share, to tell, to speak about, but yeah! It's all in the list...
In my head are disordered thoughts... but yeah! It's stil in the list...
Gosh! Today is 36 degrees Celsius outside.
The electric fan is dead tired running 24/7.
And now, I sweat a lot... (I don't sweat so much, really...)
I don't wanna go to the mall
Simply because, I'll get dizzy after criss-crossing with people roaming to and fro...
Ok! so, before I get too bum to think of something else to do...
I need to finish my article for a newsletter...
Gosh! I just miss my loveko so much...

Halo-halo please...

No good ne'!

Warning! this entry is for the sole purpose of saving my patience...

Ok! so, I don't wanna start babbling on someone else's grudges and complaints. It would just add up on already mountain-high issues at my workplace.

Been working here for almost 6years now. It was the most terrifying yet fulfilling decisions I've ever made. Moving out from my comfort zone then, it was my biggest challenge. I come to learn a lot of things here. Things that brings maturity over indecisiveness, temper and handling relationships. But most of all, I have found a family here, my second family.

With so much "changes in the rules and regulations" going on now, it is expected to have such violent reactions... and I am not excluding myself. Nope! I'm not going to streets holding placards and all, but I think my writing will do the works for me...

I need some vindications here...

CRRRAPPPPP!

Glad to know

I was totally surprised when my Loveko, texted me about my blogging (few days ago)...

When your parents...

I made a list of the things I miss doing with my parents...
1. Movie dates-family. (last: X-Men 3!).
2. Movie date with my mother alone. (latest: Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo).
3. Movie dates with my father alone. (last: Elektra! Gosh! so 3 years ago!) (I miss most, holding on to his arms while we walk around).
4. Dining out (latest: my birthday last month!)
5. Attending holy mass together. (last: new year's)
6. Breakfast. (I should put more effort on waking up at 7 in the morning to join them in breakfast).
7. Sleeping in between them... (Still a kiddo!)
8. Coffee talk. (where surprising questions pops up!)
latest coffee talk with my parents: just a week ago...
M: Kamusta na si Bernie boy?
A: Ayun, back to work na.
M: Nagkakausap naman kayo?
A: Syempre naman, Ma. Tawag, text, email. Madami namang paraan ngayon.
M: Madalas ba tumawag? ano naman pinag-uusapan nyo?

A: Hahaha!
P: Ano ng plano nyo?
A: Ha?
P: Dapat may plano na kayo nyan, matanda na kayo?
A: Eh sana tinanong mo sya nung pumunta dito.
P: Eh sabi mo sa kin wag ko tanungin.
A: Nyee! sabi ko wag mo takutin.. hindi tanungin... hahahaha!
M: Alam mo nga, yang si Papa mo ako ang kinukulit tungkol sa inyo ni Bernie. Kunwari lang yan pero iiyak yan pag kinasal ka na.
P: Anong iiyak ka dyan? Baka ikaw?
M: Maiiyak talaga ako, syempre.
P: Au, ano na nga plano nyo?
A: Mukang hindi ka na tutol ngayon ah... Dahil ba sa matanda na ko?
P: Hindi naman sa ganon.
A: Sabi nya in two years...
P: Eh di trenta ka na nun...
A: Hahaha... oo nga. Eh ikaw lang eh, nung una kong nagdala ng boyfriend dito, 23 pa lang ako nun.
P: ganun talaga!
M: Naku yang Papa mo, takot naman yan eh. Takot na mahiwalay ka sa min.
A: Pa, isipin mo na lang nasa Bataan lang ako.
M: Saan ba kayo titira?
A: What?! Ma, isa ka pa rin eh, hehehe! Matagal pa yun.
M: Pero syempre dito ang kasal.
A: Syempre naman......

How's life?

Yep!

Thank You All!

First quarter of the year is fast ending...

And a lot of surprises is really surprising me... hehehe!

I had an out of town trip last Feb 20-24...

In Ilocos region with Weng and someone special...

It was an amazing trip...

Hahaha! of course... everything there is wonderful, soothing to the eyes, breathtaking...

Aside from the fact that... ehem...

Anyways, before I exclaim that I am...

I would like to thank all those who greeted me on my birthday...

Super-duper appreciate it...

I was able to celebrate with my Highschool girlfriends... Tropang 8 (only five of us came...)

Dinner at Don Henricos

Gosh! the catch-up seemed to be endless.

Standing: Me and Shirley

Sitting: Jenny and her daughter Claire, Lei, Rhea

After dinner, coffee at Starbucks!

Of course, along with my Highschool girlfriends, are my college friends. Got to have them celebrate with me all together. Mon and Ate Sayds

Thank you all for the wonderful friendships...

Thank God for all of you!!!

Happy for me

I'm very thankful knowing that a lot of people are happy for me...
Though the pressure is getting intense, it's still manageable to keep my sanity.
I'm just glad that I'm actually taking my chances on loving again...

still on the works...

but whatever happens, wherever this time will lead me... is in God's plan...

My V-day!

My V-day?

Singles on V-day!

So, tomorrow is Valentines Day!

I should....

I should be happy, I know...

Busy week!

I was back in 8-5 schedule last week... yeah! for the lecture and of course my presentation slash panel interview slash panel discussion slash training assessment slash evaluation slash slash slash....

Ok! I know I'm good at talking in front of an audience, in fact not just good but actually better... If I may just put up my own self a notch higher (since this is my blog anyway), I definitely know how to deal in front of a listening crowd... Gosh! my presidency experience is enough proof...

But not this one, heck of a battle between technical words and laymans terms... and my taglish...
Hahahaha!!! with three bosses in front, there should be no trace of panic in my face only that when the VP entered the room... Uuuuuuttttaaaannng na loob!!!

The thing is, I know how easy is my topic, needless to say... I did not quite pull it off... (of course, I evaluated and criticized myself!). I think it's just a fair grade... HUH!!!

Oh well, there's a meet up again next month... and another Uuuuuuutttttaaaaannggg na loob!

How's Everything?

Gosh!

How's everything now?

I wasn't so sure if I'm 100% ok, but I'm so sure that I'm 100% excited... (excited to what?)

Oh well, except for the fact that there's still an upcoming panel interview for me (ammmm, for the training I'm going through right now...), the excitement creeps in my whole system... yeah!

Here's why, what, where and how:

First, February is a week away... so.... meaning...
everything will be in red.... errrrr.... I don't get excited over V-Day!!! sorry not that one...
but because my birthday is coming?.... hehehe! yeah I'm getting older and wiser.... ammmm, well, the thing that is exciting are the plans: of where am I going to celebrate my birthday this time and with whom... harharhar...

then, second, the training.... not too exciting though, but the fact that a lot of people are willing to help, assist and teach me everything about the process is more than enough to get excited... yeah! and putting their best effort to make me understand everything is so much to be thankful for...

and, third, the future plans... ooooopppps, not getting married... but....

and lastly, for this entry... someone is coming back... someone is coming home very, very soon... yiheeeeee!!!!

February in 2008

Last year, I was able to travel in one Asian country, that is, Singapore and also visited the infamous white sands of Boracay...

My Mama asked me, where this time, will I celebrate my birthday, since last year I was in Singapore... "Ma, dito na lang medyo walang budget eh!" I chidded.

But of, course, I have in mind a place to visit... been planning since two years ago, to visit the beauty of Pagudpud and Vigan.

Ok, I have a month to prepare for that and also my friends. As always, friends and friends are my travel buddies... yeah!!!! (maybe this time, there'll be someone special who'll tag along....) Naks!!!

2008

Happy New Year!

While I'm still ecstatic over the new year's celebration, I hope everyone had a wonderful celebration as mine...
How could I not be so... when my humble abode is jam packed with my relatives (I think 1/4 of the entire clan...) so it's like, they were almost 30 children of all ages, (2 of which are coming soon), about 15 young adults and about 15 oldies (hahaha!).
It's the miracle of the multiplication of fish when the food my mother lovingly cooked and prepared kept our tummies full and the belts lossened! and the chocolates I joyfully wrapped had everyone smiled with two front teeth missing for awhile...
And the little fun games for everyone, made us laugh all throughout!!!

Amazing!
And before my day ends... God's surprise isn't over yet... yeah! a phone call from Kuya, made it more.... gosh! couldn't find the right words to describe...

A peaceful, prosperous and happy new year to all!!!
