Picture of the day (02.01.11)

Yesterday I had a chit chat with my office mate from my old work at the call center. She was a content writer and she’s more familiar with blogging than I am so I ask for tips on how to write effectively. As we chat, she shared that she was trying to make an everyday blog entitled “Picture of the Day” and that’s where the concept of this blog came up… (Thanks Abbey!ü)

For my 1^st picture of the day, I’ve decided to shoot my work place with the use of my ever reliable Samsung star with the capability of shooting panorama (multiple images combined to one to create a wide image).

I chose my work place because everyday this is where I spent most of the time than any other place (but not when I’m on field). This gives me resources to enjoy quality time with my family and friends. This is where I learn new this and taught to get along with people whom I didn’t know well.

I love my workplace because they give me the feeling of importance, thou sometimes difficulties arise but those people whom you don’t know becomes your friend and assist you all the way…

Fieldwork to Quezon Province

Last week I set sail to Lucena to implement a 3 days sampling on key accounts under our distributor at the said area. We depart the office at around 9am so we still have time to prepare for tomorrows activity. We took SLEX then Star toll way to avoid traffic in Turbina.

As usual routine, we stop over friendly noodle house at Lopez, Quezon. This not so clean noodle house was the most popular eatery in this side of town. It has 4 huge soup container that was continuously boiled that melts the meat and dissolve to the water making it a bit slimy and tasty as well. You savor it with young chili and kalamansi depending on your taste. You can indulge it with rice, puto, buns or noodles it self. And by the way, you can as for extra soup for free. This noodle house was introduce by Sir Gwapo when I work with him la year. From then, I make sure that every time I go to south I pay a visit in this friendly noodle house.

Then again we hit the road and reach out destination at around 3pm. Took a little rest and head to Pagbilao for a visit to Ms. Jho. Chat a little, get sampling materials and head back home where we stay every time I do field work at Lucena. At the evening, i meet with Sir L and Sir Gwapo. We go to Dalahican Port to buy fresh fish as our dinner and pulutan as well. I took as half hour to get what we want because Sir Gwapo is so meticulous in choosing.

We feast with a huge grilled tambakol (thanks to my companion J) and prepare for tons of booze. We were in the middle of our sess

ion when Mr. P came (friend of Sir Gwapo, a salesman of Toyo Sardines) and join us. I was so drunk I don’t wanna listen to them… so I went inside the house, lay down at the couch and watch baker prince…ü (so gay!!!)

My morning starts early because I need to talk to the store personnel just in case their problem, we still make it in time to start our sampling. The store was not crowded because its midweek but still there was customers that pays visit to the store. After awhile, me and j head to the town proper to check stores on product availability. Then head back to sampling for pull out. I was hoping that I could go back to Kamay ni Hesus that day but theirs no time because I have to finish reports for my fieldwork.

The next day, we leave the house at around 6am because we have to travel another hour to reach the site where we have to promote. It was raining and the road is wet but I like it coz were doing 80kmh. (adrenaline rush!!!) When we reach the site, as usual we prepare the booth, start sampling and leave.

I love traveling, that’s one reason why I came back to my old work as trade marketing assistant because it gives me the privilege to around the Philippines for free. Next time ill make sure that ill be able to visit Kamay ni Hesus and say my thanks.

Looking forward for my next adventure and I think it will be in Bicol region.

My last Sunday were spent by sleeping the whole day because of a movie marathon so I decided to do something special on my Sunday. Kg, my black brother will be leaving soon to work at Saudi for 2 years so we head out to SM Megamall.

My head still aching because of 3 shots vodka shared with my youngest brother. But still the show must go on. After arriving at the venue, we head straight to toy kingdom ground floor where huge statues of action figures where installed. I posed beside hulk and dark vader while kg where shot while giving wolverine a head lock. The store was crowded because theirs on going bay blade tournament so we head to comic alley hunting action figures. Inside the stall I saw an akatsuki cloak, prince of tennis jacket. But the one that caught my attention is the brown boxer jacket (the one with no zipper) with a face of monster and Its 900 pesos (rarh!!!). But I have to leave it… for now! Out of budget! Awts!

After that, we continue roaming around and end up at collector shop where they sell various action figures, from common to rare items. I saw a 24 inch juggernaut and an apocalypse worth 5,000 and 1,000 pesos respectively. I can’t afford those toys that moment but I know that it will take a long time before someone does. So I’ll save money till I can purchase or better yet, I check Divisoria for that same item where they might be cheaper.

Then we go to SM food court to fulfill out stomach calling. Its chow time! We indulged with sizzling burger steak and a bottle of water. The food is fine but the side dish (corn and carrots) is cold. Well anyway, we then go to dairy queen for an upside down ice cream before watch a movie.

The film he chose is based on a true to life story entitled “Exorcisimus”. The setting was a family of four. Their child don’t go to school, they study at home with their father as their teacher. a girl do the lead role as the one who were posses by the demon that enters her body after playing ouija board and sacrificing blood from her own. She started showing signs when she taken to a psychiatrist. She fell asleep and the demon takes over, talk to the psychiatrist with some kind of chant causing to have a heart attack and die. Blah! Blah! Blah! I feel asleep and at the end of the movie, it’s just a conspiracy created by their uncle (a priest) whom was suspended because of the same reason. Exorcism! So he uses her niece to prove that exorcism is true. In the end, her family was broken and the priest hangs himself because of guilt.

The end! Haist… what a tragic story isn’t it?! I didn’t enjoy the movie but it alright. We’ll that’s how my Sunday was spent…

Might not

Please be cautious of your acts… your getting vulnerable to the enemy… I’m tryin to protect you with all possible way I know... and I might not make it till the end!

…”Doon mag-ingat ka! Matulog maaga… hinay-hinay lang sa kape, lalung lao na sa tanghale!!!” –silent sanctuary-

I always want a life live happily ever after for you, thou it might not be with me… still, it will be a fulfillment for me…

I’m not the type of person who regrets actions taken for the past for life is not fair. Happy ending only happen of fairytale, while real life ending is distinguish on haw you play your part.

We are a scar on each others memory, healed by time but never forgotten…

Liberating Mornin’

Liberating Mornin’

…“It’s just one of those days when you don’t want to wake up! Everything is s@#$, everybody f@#$!” –Limp Bizkit-

I woke up at around 7:20am this morning and still got the spirit of alcohol that keeps me want to sleep some more… but hey! Its duty call, need to be at the office a exactly 8:00am. Don’t want a scar on my attendance for this month! So I head straight to the bath room for a quick cold shock. As I was doing my hair, I look at the mirror and began to ask question.

…”How does he weight up?! Does he take things personally or professionally?! WWJD?!”

WWJD’ I always use that four letter to decide if I’m having difficulties looking for answers to my question… and of course… all the answer are still questions (J’s way of answering questions), a simple one with answers that will lead to a positive but difficult to carry out!

Well I guess all the answers to my question are already in my face… they might be difficult to accept that’s why I’m still searching for something that will compensate my ego. Maybe, just maybe if I try to accept all the thing life brings with openness… it will be less complicated for me!

…”Sometimes the world asks us to fight for things we do not understand and whose significance we may never discover. But we always know when some rules need to be broken.” –Paulo Coelho-

Anyhow! All the lesson we learn are just guides, and out free will to decide whether to do the right thing or not.

One minute… go!

One minute… go!

Gamit kong salita Filipino, pati ang panulat ko Filipino!

At talento ko nagmula kay ina, ang ystilo ko kay kiko magalona

at bob ong binabasa ko…

Pati mga banat ng fliptoppers tinatandaan ko…

At saka painagsama-sama na panag halo-halo na may icream…

Sa ibabaw at may leche plan pang kasama…

Sa bawat letra na binibigkas ko, pilat ito ng mga pinag daanan ko’

Na humubog, likha sa kung ano ako ngaun…

Pati ang mga taong pinaka utanangan ko, walang hanggang salamat ang sambit ko…

At sa iyo AMA na walang sawa gumagabay, umaalalay at palaging umuunawa…

Salamat sa kagalingan, sa Iyo ang lhat nag itoy bigay…

Peace! ^^

Jack of all trades, Master of none

Jack of all trades, Master of none

…"Jack of all trades, master of none" is a figure of speech used in reference to a person that is competent with many skills but is not necessarily outstanding in any particular one. -wikipedia-

Dati ang alam ko lang eh Jack of all trades na nangangahulugang lahat ng bagay ay kayang gawin… pero may kasunod pa pala siya… Master of None! Kay inata ko din narinig yan… ^^ Tumatak sa isip ko ung sumonod na pangungusap… nag paulit-ulit! …“Ako ba yun?!” …“Para sakin ba ung mensahe ni ina?!” …”Anu nga ba ang kakayahang masasabi kong akin?!” Parang negatibo ang dating eh… Napa-balik tanaw tuloy ako sa buhay ko!? Ung bang mga kakayahan ko eh dalubhasa talaga ako?! Marunung ako mag gitara pero kinopya ko lang sa kuya ko… na inggit kasi ako nung matuto siya ng sarili nya lang. gusto ko din matuto at natuto naman ako… ung nga lang di ko master. At marami pang mga bagay na inaral ko pero hindi ko master. Mga bagay na parang astig kung alam ko kahit parte lang… kaya ngayon sinubukan ko mag blog, trip ko to eh… masaya mag sulat! Walang oras (at internet, sa opis lang ^^)

Sa blog mailalabas mo lahat ng saloobin mo na gusto mong malaman ng mga tao ngunit walang gusting makinig… Nakakatuwa din magbasa ng blog ng ibang tao, mag iiba ang tining mo sa kanya kasi iba ung nakasulat at iba siya sa totoong buhay… parang… si wally at jose ng eat bulaga (ediya ko to’^^)…

Pangtapos na salita… nung naalala ko ung “Jack of all trades, Master of none.” Tinignan ko siya sa net at napagalaman ko na may kadugtong pa ulit siya…

…"Jack of all trades, Master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one"

Ayan! Mas okay na siya basahin… ang tawag diyan ay kiss, kick, kiss (nakaakinis na combo)… Kahit di mo talaga kabisado, kahit panu alam mo… di ka magmumukang timang pag nakasukatan nang kaalaman…

A lesson I won’t forget

A lesson I won’t forget

…”Its not the situation, but how you react on it!”

Isa sa sangkatutak na status messages ni ina. Sa dami nun e may mga magagamit ka naman talaga. Kung baga sa pagkain, marami siyang ihahain sayo… Kanin mo nga lang ung sa palagay mong masarap… namnamin mo nang masipsip ng katawan mo ang nutrisyong dulot nito…

Mula nung nabasa ko tong status message ni ina, isinabuhay ko na siya, may mga pagkakataong nakakalimutan ko rin iapply. May mga sitwasyon kasi na di mo maiiwasang maging emotional, nakakalimutan mong ilabas ag sarili mo na parang pinapanood mo ang eksena sa paborito mong teleserye na isa sa mga tauhan nito. Kaya imbes na positibo ang magiging reaksyon mo eh napapasama palalo…

Halimbawa na lang sa simpleng tanong na sino ba dapat sisihin sa negatibong pangyayari… pwede mong sagutin ng “Eh siya kasi eh, hindi nya ginawa ang parte nya… kaya lahat tayo damay…” o pwede naming “Wala tayong dapat sisihin, gawan na lang natin ng paraan para lahat tayo ligtas…” oh diba?! Lahat tayo nasa pedestal, walang naiwan at walang masama ang loob.

Sana ma subukan nyo din, epektibo ito kahit na sa pinaka masikip na pagkakataon… Huminga ka ng malalim, ilabas mo ang sarili mo sa sitwasyon, hanapan nang sulosyon at manatiling positibo… Mahirap siya pero epektib…

Maligayang Bagong Taon sa lahat!ü
