that someone is she

i can sit here for countless hours
with nothing to do but wait
wait for love to arrive
wait for a new life to begin
wait for someone who might never come
i never will give up on hope
i can just sense it
maybe i could be wrong
and then maybe not
i just believe that girl could never be mine

i can't admit to myself
she is just around me
and i could do something about it
i am justy afraid to take the risk
the risk of falling in love (again)
the risk of having this one precious gem
a gem i may not be able to take care of

she just way too high for me
too high that i cannot extend my reach
she's just one of a kind
i'm just the plain, ordinary guy around
she is just evreything that i am not....

the debut: defining pinoys growing up abroad

THE DEBUT
starring:gina alajar, tirso cruz iii, eddie garcia, dante basco

this film is one of my favorite filipino films of 2003...

this film may have won awards abroad but sadly it failed to attract the filipino audience...

i was moved by this great film...
it made me realize about things... about being a pinoy...

this story is about the filipinos abroad but you can still relate with this film...

finally got a vcd of this film this morning... and i am so happy....
this was released thru columbia tristar...

makulit na kung makulit

ewan ko pero itong kantang ito eh parang malapit sa panlasa ng tenga ko ngayon... hehehehe...


WHY CAN'T IT BE
You came along, unexpectedly
I was doing fine in my little world
Oh baby please don't get me wrong
'Cause I'm not complaining
But you see, you got my mind spinning

REFRAIN:
Why can't it be
Why can't it be the two of us
Why can't we be lovers
Only friends
You came along
At a wrong place, at a wrong time
Or was it me

Baby I dream of you every minute
You're in my dreams
You're always in it
That's the only place I know
Where you could be mine
And I'm yours but only
Till I wake up

REFRAIN:
Why can't it be
Why can't it be the two of us
Why can't we be lovers
Only friends
You came along
At a wrong place, at a wrong time
You came along
At a wrong place, at a wrong time
Or was it me

remembering redj

it is not as if she is not with us anymore or something like that... it is definitely not the case....

she will be turning a year older this year...

march 13....

i have not talked to her in like "years"...

but i honestly hope her the best... though i will not be able to greet her happy birthday personally, i hope my prayers for her will reach her when the Lord grants them...

she played a part of my past...

many words left unspoken...

but like they say, that is how the cookie crumbles...

we are moving on with our separate lives... happily... i guess...

all i can say is that... happy birthday redj...
Currently feeling: nothing

sumapi ang alak

Mahirap malasing sabi nila…
Umiikot ang mundo mo…
Ang lahat bumabaliktad…

Pilit kumakanta ang hindi marunong…
Sumasayaw ng todo ang parehong kaliwa ang paa…
Tumatahimik ang madaldal…
Dumadaldal ang tahimik…


Ang bulong mo ay pasigaw…
Ngunit sa iyong mga kataga...
Katotohanan lang ang dala…
Hindi mo man ibig na ipagsabi…
Ngunit ang ispiritu ng alak...
Dumadaloy na sa iyong sistema…
Hindi ka na nag-iisip…
Sinasabi mo na ang iyong saloobin…
Ang nilalaman ng iyong dibdib…

Saya…
Kalungkutan…
Problema…
Sama ng loob…
Takot…
Pangarap…
Maging ano pa man iyon…
Ang lahat ng namutawi sa iyong mga labi…
Purong-puro…
Totoong-totoo…

Walang pagkukunwari…
Walang kiyeme mong inilantad…
Ang iyong kabuuan…
Ang kahubdan ng iyong pagkatao…

Anu’t-ano man ang nangyari…
..ang mga nasabi…
Ito ang iyong pakaiisipin…
Magkaibigan tayo…
Mahal kita…
At walang magbabago…
Sapagkat sa ngayon…
Ito ang ibig kong malaman mo…
Naiintindihan kita….

sana alam mo ang alam ko

Kung ako ay iibig… ang iibigin ko ay isang katulad mo… sadyang napakatotoo… walang bahid ng pagkukunwari… sobra kang magmahal ng mga taong nasa paligid mo… bibihira ang mga taong katulad mo… sana sa ngayon, you have not misread the sign… hindi pa ba obvious???… ito ang tatandaan mo, hindi ko man sabihin, sana lang maramdaman mo kasi kapag nandyan ka masaya ako.. kapag malungkot ka malungkot din ako… kapag may problema, gusto kong dumamay… kapag may kasama kang iba, nagseselos ako… iniisip ko sana ako na lang ang kasama mo… kapag inaasar kita at napipikon ka masaya ako kasi kahit sa ganoong paraan eh pinapansin mo ako… papansin kasi ako pagdating sa iyo… ayaw kong aminin sa sarili ko na palagay na ang loob ko sa iyo… pilit kong itinatanggi dahil ayaw kong masaktan… ayaw din kitang masaktan dahil baka hindi kita maalagaan… ayaw kong ako ang magpapaiyak sa iyo… siguro ang gulo-gulo ko… mahal kita pero siguro mas maganda nang ganito na lang tayo… ganito na lang ako… kasi wala naman tayo di ba? Kasi ang alam ko, ang meron… “kayo”… hindi ko nga lang sigurado… ayaw kong sumugal… ayaw kong masira ang ating pagkakaibigan…

MY PROSTITUTE PROJECT

I just wanna set the record straight… I never did what those typical callboys do… I was different… I ran from the supposedly customer… its scary…

FEB.24 EVENING... we were in burnham park. We were searching for prostitutes—either female or male… we were going around the perimeter of the man-made lake… we could not see a single sign of female prostitutes… however, we already sensed the presence of male prostitutes and even caught them in video….

I decided to take the view deck while the rest were took the path underneath… to my surprise, I saw this woman giving a man a blow job… shit! Is burnham turning into an immediate quezon city circle???? I am really shocked by this fact that exist after dark….

After half an hour of walking we decided to walk to the former skating rink… we ate some chips… after we were done, we saw a car park… we waited for someone to get off the car… nobody did… so we decided to split… beauty went on first… I went second, taking the other side—driver’s side… we saw (with the help of the lamppost near by) that the were undressing… so we went to the lake side to come up with a great plan… then we decided that I take a hidden capture of them…

So beauty went ahead as usual… I decided to try and pretend to be peeing behind the tree infront of the car as I prepare my camera…. But then I noticed a man lurking nearby so I decided to “finish” peeing… then due to my problem with dim lights, I stood near the tree and search for beauty…. Then a man asked for the time… I left my watch but I have my phone but I am afraid of bringing it out because I thought maybe the guy is a snatcher or hold-upper so I said : “mga ten”… then I continued to search for beauty… not realizing that jerfelle and mary ann were just near me… then the man asked again: “tiga-baguio ka? (do live here in baguio?)”… I answered yes and started walking to the direction of where I thought I saw beauty go… then he said: “uuwi ka na ba? (are you going home?)”… stupid me still answer the damn question… I said no…
The he held out his hand and introduced himself to be “Ron”… I again tried to be courteous and replied with the name: “ERIC”… then he was following me… I did not mind what he was saying… I was busy looking for beauty… and finally I did saw her… when I did, I embraced her really hard… I whispered to her : “napagkamalan akong callboy! (he thought I was a callboy!)”… I continued embracing her until I thought I was safe…

Then back to work… looking for prostitutes… we decided that since no female prostitute was around, we would go for male prostitutes… then I really wanted to urinate this time… I told beauty to stay by the lake-side and wait for me there as I go to the nearest comfort room… which as I thought , was located near the pumping station of baguio… so I went near the rink and I was about to cross the road running… damn… ron saw me.. he asked where I was going… and I said I need to pee… then he laughed and followed me… with the rush of my adrenaline… I was heading the bushes but when I realized that he was following me, I ran to the nearest caltex station beside ganza which is at least 100-300 meters away… on my way I texted beauty and told her what happened… I kept on running… like some criminal is in my tail… I got to breath when I realized that he did not continue running after me… that was really scary….

We ended up with nothing but the experience of me being a callboy… and those prostitutes denying that they are one… the one said that she is working in sizzling plate but then when we said that we are from manila, she immediately said that she was from cavite… now isn’t it confusing… the same thing with those male prostitutes… well oh well… that is life… you gain some… you lose some…

crying ladies and ping lacson

Technically, it had been with PING for two consecutive days though the first day was not as thrilling as the march 28 was.

We started out late because there was no available ride for YPL (Youth for Ping Lacson) since the supposed ride of the group backed out at the last minute. However, due to the “diskarte” of ate berna, she was able to get us a pick up. We made our own motorcade since we were way behind the motorcade itself.

We were able to join the others at Gov. Pack rd. We only had a handful of posters, calendars, stickers and the crowd wanted more—especially stickers.

Ping walked down Session Road with his sole Senator CARLOS M. PADILLA. Handshakes here and there for our bets. And on our part, we were instructed to go to the HQ or Skyrise Hotel. But because we wanted to join the fun, we stopped infront of Mercury Drug at lower Session to distribute paraphernalias and wait for the “PRESIDENT” himself.

I gave posters to an old lady who was asking for one. And instinctively, I told her that Ping is personally here in Session. She really was glad to hear the news and decided to wait for Ping.

When “Direk Jules” (we call him as such because he looks like Jules ledesma) was already near our location, I decided to escort her to meet Ping.

She told me that she was from Camp 7 here in Baguio and that she was glad that she would meet Ping Lacson. She added that she might get weak if she would see him upclose or she could even faint.

Finally we saw him at Luisa’s, so I guided her towards Ping’s direction. She kissed, hugged and shook his hand. After doing so, I asked her how she was feeling. All that she said was, “Malakas na ako,” and then beads of tears were falling.

I accompanied her until Pines Studio and I asked her if she could manage and she agreed. So I left her following the lead of Ping. When I looked back, she was all smiles and still following Ping.

Minutes later, infront of HIRO 2, I heard a scream. And to my surprise, a woman was hugging and kissing Ping. And I heard the lady say: “Wen, nu ni Ping iti Presidente pumintas iti intay panagbiag.” (Yes, if Ping is the President, our lives will improve.)

Who CARLOS M. PADILLA?

Carlos M. Padilla is the one and only senatorial bet of Ping Lacson.

I admired this man’s “paninindigan” because he never left Lacson—no matter what!

Actually, Carlos M. Padilla is not new in the field of politics. He was elected Representative of the Lone District of Nueva Viscaya (8th, 10th,11th, and 12th Congress--- Minority leader, House of Rep, (12th Congress), Deputy Speaker, House of Rep., (11th Congress), Chairman, Committee on Education and Culture, (8th Congress) and Commisioner, UNESCO Phil.

Principal Author and /or Sponsor of the ff:

RA 6655—An Act Establishing and Providing For a Free Public Secondary Education
RA 6728—An Act providing Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private Education
(GASTPE< Educational Service Program (ESP), PESFA, and the “STUDY NOW, PAYLATER PROGRAM”
RA 6966—An Act Regulating the Practice of Librarian ship and Prescribing the qualifications of Librarians.
RA 7104—An Act creating the Commission of the Filipino Language
RA 7168—An Act Converting the Philippine Normal College into the Philippine Normal University
RA 7172—Restoring the Autonomy of the PPSTA
RA 7536—An Act creating the National Commission For the Culture and the Arts (NCCA)
RA 9173—The Philippine Nursing Act
HB 4908—the Philippine Dentistry Act

His wife is RUTH CACPAL RANA, the NATIONAL PRESIDENT of the PHILIPPINE NURSES ASSOCIATION.

SO ASK MY WHY CARLOS M. PADILLA?

My answer is simple…

WHY NOT?

Nocturnal animal

I am awake by night
Asleep by day
I can get myself to bed when the darkness still lurks
At day break
Comes the most awaited drowsiness
And as much as the sun is up
My eyes are closed
They refuse to open
My body is still charging
Gaining the energy
Energy that keeps alive
This nocturnal animal

************************************************

Dalawang araw na akong hind makatulog sa gabi… ewan ko nasanay na yata ang aking body clock sa puyat… at nitong mga nagdaang araw ay hindi na ako makatulog kahit nakahiga na ako sa aking kama… nakapikit nga ako pero gumagana ang utak ko… ito nga yata yung sinasabi nilang insomnia… hindi makatulog…

SAAN NAKAKABILI NG ANTOK?
