SUMMER 2009

OH YEAH IT'S SUMMER, IT'S HOT AND WILL NOT BE COMPLETE WITHOUT SWIMMING!!!

and that's what we did last sunday, me and my neices & nephews went to a resort called Volets in Dasmariñas, Cavite.

the place is kinda nice except for the uncomfortable feeling, kinda sticky in skin water because of too much chlorint treatment. You're going enjoy swimming, the fountains, slides and artificial waves but you have to bring your shampoo because your hair would feel like you haven't cleaned it for ages.

overall, the place is Ok beacause, it's located near a mall where you can buy all your stuff and there are lots of buses, jeepneys and tricycles, transportation is easy.

entrance for this summer is at Php190 per person day swimming, Php200 per person for night swimming

8:30PM to 9:30PM
EARTH HOUR

And of course I did my share...turned-off everything, fridge, tv, electric fan, computer, everything except my LED flashlight which i used when i was cooking dinner (see pic :) that's meat my kitchen frying chicken and some quick poses in the darkness. at least in some way i had my contribution in saving energy for mother earth. it's obvious that the weather nowadays is getting weirder each day, it's summer and it rained for 2 days huh!

Anyways, things to do this weekend? mmm...please inspire me to finally clean-up my room, it needs cleaning so badly, tomorrow afternoon i'll do my best to sweep all the dust out, of course that's after we go swimming. oh yeah, we're going swimming with my cousins, nieces and nephews and some friends, there's this resort in cavite they talked about.

okidoki, i'll log out early :D!!! it's weekend and i'm hoping this one would be awesome!

dried out

why is it soooo hard to have cash nowadays??? i have a good compensation package here at work and it's still not enough!!!!

It all started last January, when things started to dry wtf!!! i haven't done or bought the things i got used to, now i am living very strictly on my budget otherwise there won't be money left to pay for my bills.!!!!

apartment, electricity, water, cable tv, internet connection, groceries, cigarettes...f*&k! i'm not sure which one should i flush down the toilet!!!

can somebody tell me how to get more cash??? i've been trying my luck with lottery but my luck have not worked just yet...now it's payday but after all the computations and everything, there isn't much left for me, unlike last year when i always have a couple of thousand pesos for things i want to buy or spend unwinding!!! but now, it's hell!!!!

i have to strictly follow my budget nowadays, or else....

i hate this....U.S. economy when are you gonna get back on your feet damn it!!!!

afdet

some bloggers haven't been updating their blogs lately or they aren't blogging that much. they say its because of the popularity of facebook and twitter (even ellen degeneres is doing twitter and she always mention it on her show)...well i have a facebook account and a twitter account. i often check my facebook but don't update it so much, i just check and read what people have been doing. i also have a twitter account but my goodness, i only have a couple of entry there and a couple of followers as well...not too good for a twitter...

anyways wtf i will still blog.....

on my previous post i mentioned that i'm trying to loose weight, haven't been eating so much, limited carbo intake (eating rice once a day), a tiny sandwich for breakfast, two pieces of bread for dinner, no more ice cream, no more beer blah....blah...blah...

f*&^ck!!!! it's a hell of a struggle...im always dizzy, see the pic above? that's how i percieve things nowadays lolz!!! but most of the time i feel good specially when i look in the mirror and see that my stomach is no longer bulging hahahaha, or when i wear kinda tight fitting shirts and i look better and my body feels light most of the time, iiii llllooovvveeee iittt!!!

BUT!!! i know i still have to eat, i just wanna loose weight and not get sick or die.

in a couple of weeks i might be posting the results here, i mean pics...the before and after pics...

I'm on a diet

Oh yeah! I have been dieting for more than two weeks now, I just forgot to mention it here. I'm trying my best to eat rice at least once a day only (small amount) and I'm happy that it's working just fine, I already lost a few pounds. I'm so excited and really looking forward on posting my before and after pic right here. But I need to loose at least 5 more pounds before I post any pic.

Anyways, it's really a struggle and requires a lot of focus, dicipline, courage, patience and determination to loose weight because I got used to eating like a pig and now...no more heavy meals in the morning after work and before I go to sleep, just 2 or 3 pieces of bread, no more pizza, beer, ice cream and the rest of my comfor food...at first it was so difficult but now I am adjusting quite well...

I still eat a lot, once a day that is...but not as much as I used to..

I will be posting my progress in this blog and hopefull I could encourage others to do the same, for health reasons and for better living. And besides, aint it wonderful to be slim, have a flat tummy and dress-up well and be cool??? :)

Rest In Peace Dear Jade...

British reality star Jade Goody is finally in peace, she died in her sleep on March 22, 2009 after a battle of cervical cancer. She was diagnosed of cancer around August of 2008 while inside Big Brother House in India. She left a husband and two young sons.

I have followed her story for months now, eversince I've read about the controversy she had in Big Brother UK where there were issues about racism about her throwing remarks to Indian Star Shilpa Shetty. In my opinion, yes there was an issue but she did her part to correct and show the world she wasn't a racist by entering the Big Brother house in India and it was there where she was told the horrifying truth that she had cancer...

One thing I admire about her is her courage, to face everything...happiness, pain, sorrow and death...she made sure everything is in the right places before she died including the future of her children.

As I mentioned on my last entry, life is so fagile....we just don't know what's gonna happen next who things will end...but Jade's fight is over and she won, even if it meant death for her...she won her battle, she made a change, she touched lives and passed away peacefully, in peace....

I pray for her soul...rest in peace Jade...

when time runs out

it is really sad when a loved one leaves so suddenly and you don't get the chance to say goodbye.....

yesterday, me and my friends were just talking about the accident and death of british actress Natasha Richardson, in someway i am affected for the fact that she was a mother with young kids and a wife to actor Liam Neeson. she was just vacationing somewhere in canada when she fell and hit her head and now she's dead...the sad news is all over the news and i did my share of saying a prayer for her peace...

and today when i got to work things bacame the saddest...when i was told that the mother of my friend mami vk just died today. mami vk is the friend who just celebrated her birthday last monday and i even blogged about the happening a few days ago, i also posted a happy picture of us with her birthday cake, and now...she's in sorrow...

last night she was just telling us that she's pissed because her mother was hospitalized because of difficulty in breathing, maybe due to exhaustion. her mother is a diabetic and with complications already, but she also said that her mom is already out of the hospital, obviously something went wrong....

these things make me realize how very fragile life is....we just don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow, when is our "time"...one moment you have your loved ones with you and the next thing you realize is that their gone...you weren't able to say goodbye, you weren't able to give your last hug or to say i love you...the only thing left behind are memories....

memories are good but sometimes it can be painful...missing someone is painful specially if you no longer have the chance to see that person ever again...so while you can love them more...while you have them make them feel they are really loved...

LATELY

lately...

i have been very clumsy...yesterday i broke a glass here in my desk, so i have to wear my slippers all the time cuz there are tiny bits of broken glasses under my table...

minutes ago i was in the pantry i broke another glass gain :( im now just waiting for the company to deduct the amount of those broken glasses to my salary....

at home, my electric fan isn't working good anymore, it overheated due to being overused...

and i hate my f*ck*ng neighbor, they have not paid or cable tv monthly fee (we share) so cable tv's off...

lastly i'm broke, i gave my money to my mom & dad because it's their birthday on the 17th & 20th respectively...

now, how do i call this week???

bday ni vk

Oh yeah, it's mami VK's birthday...there's pasta one with meat sauce ala spaghetti and the other one is with white sauce and tuna equally yummy...and of course the traditional cake na tag Php117 ang ambag namin lolz!!!

Happy Birthday Mami VK and thanks for the food, and by the way I look so fat in that pic F&#K!!!! I swear I lost a few lbs already, I've been dieting and starving myself for over a week now. No more beer, very small amount of carbo only, lots of apples and I really make an effort to control my craving, I promise on my next post I will post a pic where I don't look that heavy anymore. I guess it's the shirt, it's yellow and with horizontal stripes imprint, that's why....

Last Saturday I went out with Manilyn & Jasmin, we had dinner at Krocodile Grill that's in Greenbelt, I'll post the details maybe tomorrow with some pics....

Also...early today I watched the trailer of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and it's Fu*&ing awesome ANLUPEEETTTT!!! Everybody should check out the trailer, just search for it at Youtube or the official website of that movie. I can't wait till it is showing here in Manila...kahit mahal ang sine manonood pa rin ako!!!!

I had a fight with someone last Saturday and I got so pissed, worst thing is I did not fight back, I just shut my mouth cuz I know it was the best thing to do. Shutting up is not me at all, I normally fight back, I always retaliate most specially if I know that I am not at fault. But this time I didn't, I guess its because the timing, it was 2AM and it happened in my room, it would be a big scene if I fought back...I still feel bad about it, gusto ko tumabla....pero I just need to let it go and move on. Fu*K dem anywayz!!

Sorry for my language I'm just pissed....feeling ko inapi ako....

bangag

it's friday and i'm kinda happy...

aside from the fact that finally i can rest my exhausted body, it's payday :D so there's a sweet smile in my face even if i only slept for 4 hours. mixed emotions kumbaga pinaghalong saya at init ng ulo kay wag pa ring salingin lolz!!!

anyways, the friend that i mentioned on my last post (yeah, that friend who just came from the states) is going home to our province, the island paradise of samar (18 long hours of travel by bus or an hour by plane, regularly bombarded by typhoons, dirty politics etc....) she'll be there for more than a week then will go back to the states again :( and before she leaves we're gonna have s dinner tomorrow night. i mentioned to her that we should hang-out somewhere in greenbelt and i'm sure we can find a nice place to eat...

my cousin (again, the one i mentioned on my previous post) finally stopped texting me, maybe because i stopped texting back, i stopped texting back because i didn't think i have the authority to advice something about lovelife because mine is a total mess, and sexlife? mmm... not either cuz mine is boring nowadays and they're more active than i am so they should know better now...

i'll try to get drunk tomorrow night...it's been a while and my nerves are carving for alcohol...but i should continue my diet, argghhhhhh i wanna eat lots and lots of food but i shouldn't, not now...well im glad that my diet is finally working :) i lost a few lbs and my tummy is now a lot smaller. i only need to work on my abs and get that six pack wahahahahahaha

its wednesday and again i'm half way thru week 2 of march. my main problem nowadays is the heat, pun%$@&tA ANG INITTT!! it's f*ck#ng hard to sleep and i work at night so kalbaryo talaga lintek!!!!!

anyways, im trying to calm myself down thinking that this friday the 13th will be the opposite, it's gonna be a lucky day kasi sahod na. maybe i could spare few hundreds and go out, relax, unwind, get drunk and forget all these troubles!!!

life can be real tough specially when you grow-up and handle certain responsibilities. you'd feel like you wanna stop and have a break but you can't, you just can't because you have lots of responsibilities, you have to pay your bills, you have to live so that others who depend on you could live as well. it's the situation wherein you're working not just because of your own survival but for others too..you are working and musn't stop so that things will remain in order...

sorry na oo mainit lang ulo ko!

on the lighter side, i have been bombarded with texts from my cousin today. actually he's like a brother because we both grow-up in the same house and i watched over him when he was a kid (he's like 17 years old now). funny thing is he's been asking for my advice about he's lovelife...and i thought come on he's only 17 lolz!!! he said he had this girl, they were together for 2 years but they're off now and he's affected because the girl is with someone else now and that someone else lives just next door, which means he sees them together all the time and he's pissed (not counting the fact that this ex-gf had a fling with another cousin of ours hahahaha, great girl right?, messing around with everyone) and worst part is these kids are sexually active, holy sh*t!!!! they're just kids and they have sex all the time, my goodness!!! my cousin told me they always do it on the beach at night and the other cousin whom this girl had a fling told me they also did it in that same beach dogstyle pa daw! p*ta talaga. what's wrong with this generation????

and my advice? deadma na lang, move on with this life, focus on studies sleep early so that he would have healthy skin and would look good. i said don't let them see you're affected even if you are, never give them the satisfaction. do your best to look good and happy, hayaan mong malosyang yung babaeng yun.

now am i right?

25 RanDOM THings ABout Me

OK FINE! SINCE EVERYONE HAS BEEN TAGGING ME ABOUT THIS AND EVERY BLOGGER HAS AN ENTRY ABOUT THIS, I'M DOING THIS JUST FOR THE SAKE OF NOTHING...

1. I don't eat liver, be it pork or chicken liver. It's taste is disgusting and I can really tell if a food has liver on it, it makes me puke.

2. I love songs from the 80s, love songs in particular, those old songs of Phil Collings, new waves...anything 80s.

3. I haven't slept well in 4 years. Maybe because I work at night mmmm but even if I'm not working I find it so hard to sleep.

4. My favorite vegetable is Ampalaya, kahit araw-araw mabubuhay ako ng ampalaya lang ang ipakain, of course dapat gisahin at lagyan ng itlog.

5. My other favorite dish is "ginataang alimasag" isipin ko palang naglalaway na ako.

6. I love my family so much, that when they do horrible things I find it hard to forgive them because I really get hurt. I don't want them to be lost on the wrong roads in life...

7. I love foreign movies, specially those with languages I don't understand (chinese, french, italian, spanish etc...) I find it fascinating and challenging to get myself dizzy by chasing those very small subtitles on the bottom of the screen lolz!!!

8. I love taking pictures, kahit saan picture kahit nakakahiya na picture pa rin, kahit walang ligo walang suklay picture pa rin.

9. Travel is one of my passion hahahaha kahit walang pera I wanna travel. I wanna visit Europe or pag walang pera sa Cebu nalang uli.

10. I'm a writer. I used to write literature on my journal before I became a blogger. Too bad I lost one of my journal with so much stuffs in it.

11. Trip ko maligo sa ulan, i dunno...I just love it when it rains. I feel like my soul would be cleansed if I bathe at rain...

12. I experiment a lot in cooking, I love to cook kahit ano lang...usually something with coconut milk and lots of chili pepper...

13. Lately I have been enjoying Vodka, mixed with sprite or orange juice.

14. I find it hard to settle down and find someone I could spend the rest of my life with. Maybe the problem is with me...I feel its time, I wanna be with someone but I guess I'm not lucky in that part...

15. I want to be a millionaire so I can change people's lives including mine. I wanna help my family, relatives, friends and all those in need, that's why tumataya ako parati ng lotto malay natin swertihin, kaso olats pa, ewan ko lang bukas baka manalo na. Feeling ko naman mananalo talaga ako.

16. I'm very emotional, I tend to miss the places I have been and the friends I left behind. I actually feel bad each time I think of Cebu City because I love that place so much and I feel bad that I'm away...

17. I wanna enroll in a culinary school and put-up my own restaurant very soon, kelangan na lang pera...

18. Each time I hear my favorite songs, I remember my past, the things that made me what I am today...the people that touched my life and the people I left behind...

19. I'm a very dedicated lover close to being stupid. When I'm inlove I give everything, kahit pa kawawain ako ok lang.

20. Fantasy ko maging member ng Mafia or Russian Mob...

21. I love my friends so much, for me they are like precious diamonds rare and should be treasured...

22. I dont like eating chocolate bars, pero love ko chocolate cake & chocolate ice cream...

23. Madaling mag-init ulo ko and I tend to utter bad things and bad words, but I can easily be calmed and can show remorse and compassion.

24. I love going out during weekends, have fun and enjoy life. Watch and meet new people.

25. Inspite of the bad things about me, I stil consider myself a good person :)

monday feeling sunday

finally my friend from the states arrived, she has been away for 8 long years working as a nurse in Maryland...and indeed things are so much different when she left...

things are now so much more expensive, manila is a lot more crowded and more dangerous (in fact just last week a lady from their bldg/condo was robbed and stabbed to death by some akyat-bahay gang) so f*ck#ng scary!!!!

anyways, i got the camera that i asked her to buy for me, i requested for her to buy one for me because there's a sale in walmart and it's so very cheap (i got it for Php4600 while in pinas its around 10k) and of course she gave me a very nice polo shirt as a pasalubong :)

then as scheduled, we went to a comedy bar in QC, laffline to be exact. as usual and as expected and as i mentioned, its f*ck#ng expensive lolz! entrance fee isPhp300 per person and it's non-consumable, plus the drinks/beer is around Php76 per bottle. now, how's that? how are you supposed to have fun with those prices..tsk....

now i guess/hope my companions had a great time, i think they have because they were laughing their lungs out with those skits of gay perfomers...

and oh ethel booba was there wearing a piece of clothing that almost shows her nipple, im sure in just a very slight wrong move her entire boobs will pop-out because it was so huge~!

i'm well

okidoki...

things are better with me, i'm finally recovering from being sick again and it's not flu or cold or anything like that...this time it's tonsilitis. oh yeah, no wonder it was too painful to swallow, i had fever, headache and chilling. but now i'm a lot better, after almost throwing-up from that 5oo mg antibiotics i took (whew it was big)...

tonight i'm gonna be back to work and i'm sure it's going to be a mess like always...

just minutes ago i saw the news on tv that francis magalona passed away....my prayers are with him and his family...it just makes me wonder and realize how fragile our lives are, we just don't what will happen to us tomorrow or we don't know when or how our life is going to end...all we can do is enjoy our lives, make the most of what we have and do our best not live with regrets because as i said we just don't know what will happen next...let's just keep those prayers and share the love we have in our hearts...so that incase we face our creator sooner than we think, we can give him some reasons why our life was worth living for...

Oberthet 2

I just can't believe I'm sick again...I'm weak again, cold again...

I thought it was over until I woke up this afternoon and felt a little pain in my throat when I swallow. I still did my usual stuff.. food, smoke and took bath..but now it's so different...I feel kinda dizzy, my head is heavy and sooo cold...

I can't go home though, I still need to work cuz I have been absent last week already for (again) being sick.

Maybe it's the weather again? or a virus I catched here at work cuz almost everyone has been sick or sneezing...

I can't be sick anymore...there's so much to do.

First of all I'm happy :) for some reasons I'm now able to access blogspot here at work yey!!! Maybe they realized that blogspot doesn't do any harm to mankind...it infact enlightens and releases stress/topak in someways lolz!!!

Anyways, I think a couple of months ago I added a widget here on my blog, it called Globe Trackr, the widget simply tracks the visitors here and it displays the country where they are from. And on my previous post I mentioned that I'm delighted to find out that some people actually wasted some of their time to check this blog (again thanks even if you don't read any of these). But then again, today I checked and found out more, as in more countries!!! I saw Turkey, Indonesia, China, Canada, USA and Romania!!! IS THIS FOR REAL??? OR MAYBE THE WIDGET IS FOOLING AROUND WITH ME!!!

I mean why??? hahahaha, is this blog interesting??? mmm to me of course yes, to others? mmm I dunno...maybe not...

Anyways, guys if indeed this is true then well maybe you can say something and let's be friends. I'm from a little country called Philippines and it's cool out here, maybe you should come and let me buy you a cup of cofee lolz!!! I can be a good friend you know :)

makeover 2

Sunday.... boring as usual..

Worst thing is I had to see my dentist again to fix something and yes I got wounded again.

Other than that, I'm excited because an old friend is coming home and I am going to see her this coming Saturday. She's a nurse in the states and has not come home for 8 long years. We're gonna go out, eat and have fun and hopefully I will not get drunk. I will also get my new camera.

I don't know what to say anymore, its freaking boring...
