Litratong Pinoy: Dalampasigan

Published by B under Litratong Pinoy

Ang larawang ito ay nabubuo ng serye ng mga larawan na pinagdugtong-dugtong sa pamamagitan ng Photoshop. Ito ay ang dalampasigan ng Isla ng Inala-Delan sa sa Palawan. Sinasabing pag-aari ito ng sikat na mayakda ng librong Philippines Travel Guide na si Jens Peter. Naging manunulat din siya ng Lonely Planet Publications dati. Sana ay nagustuhan niyo ang lahok ko ngayong linggong ito.  :)

Mga ka-LP, kung wala kayong magawa at medyo bored ay iniimbitahan ko din kayong dalawin ang mga blag post ko tungkol sa pagpunta ko sa Palawan noong 1999 kasama ang aking dalawang kaibigan. Bawat araw ay meron akong journal tungkol sa nangyari noong araw na yon, may mga larawan ng mga pinuntahan naman at may listahan din ng mga ginastos namin. OC ba? Haha! Ito ay inyong makikita dito. Salamat at sana ay matuwa kayo sa makikita at mababasa niyo doon.

This one’s from Kathy again.

Let’s learn what blogger’s favourite meal (Breakfast) is. Simple straightforward meme and great for link love. Have a good Breaky! Good thing I have a photo of my hubby’s favorite morning food start, because I’m not a breakfast gal actually :)

*Start copy here*

The Longest Breakfast Menu List

Everyone likes to start their day with a comfort food for breakfast. What kind of food do you take? This would be a good way to find out your blogger friend’s favourite food for breakfast.

All you need to do is to put your name down, the country you are in and your favorite breakfast meal. Let’s see how we can have this breakfast ‘menu’ travelled all around cyberspace and learn what each blogger living in different country and what they eat for breakfast. This meme was created by a little lady with a penchant to spy around little baskets while marketing. Her favorite breakfast of the day is none other than Roti Prata, an indian flat bread. What about you? What is your favorite breakfast meal of the day?

 

1. Spymama, Singapore - Roti Prata 2. Janeth Vicy’s Life Journey, Philippines - Ham and Hotdog with Rice 3.As The World Turns, Philippines, Milk and Biscuits. 4.Just Me.. Eds, Philippines- Sausage and Egg with Garlic Rice/Fried Mash potato 5. KATHYCOT, Phils, Fried Spam, Chicken and Scrambled Egg paired with Fried Rice 6. Buge, Philippines, anything paired with hot chocolate 7.Your Name, Country, Food

When Love Is Gone

Published by B under Song for the week

by Jim Photoglo

When love is gone I always get the feeling I can’t go on
I find myself dreaming of days that couldn’t end
And all things we never said, oh oh

When love is gone will I ever be the same?
Well I don’t want chasing heartaches and learn to face the day
When I have done what I must do
Oh, I’ll remember you

When love is gone everyone’s in couples as I walk alone
Thinking I’ll never find that little love and never know the beauty of all, oh

When love is gone will I ever be the same?
Well I don’t want chasing heartaches and learn to face the day
When I have done what I must do
Oh, I’ll remember you

No LP Entry

Published by B under Forgotten

I have no LP entry for today… my mind is blank and I really can’t think of anything that suits the theme for this week. Hopefully an idea will still crawl on my mind so I can still post an entry before the next one.

Anyway, I’m a bit busy right now and I’m still behind on a couple of projects. I’m just too lazy these past few days. Maybe I need an incentive like some Miami Heat tickets for me and my friends. Haha! Just kidding! I don’t even have visa, meaning I couldn’t go to the states. Anyway, I promise I’ll update this blog as soon as I get my hands free. I still owe some of you a few tag, I’m sorry! :D

I Don’t Like Mondays

Published by B under Song for the week

by Boomtown Rats

The silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload
And nobody’s gonna go to school today, she’s going to make them stay at home
And daddy doesn’t understand it, he always said she was as good as gold
And he can see no reason cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?

Tell me why I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why I don’t like Mondays
I want to shoot the whole day down

The telex machine is kept so clean as it types to a waiting world
And mother feels so shocked, father’s world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet 16 ain’t so peachy keen, no, it ain’t so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?

Tell me why I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why I don’t like Mondays
I want to shoot the whole day down

All the playing’s stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school’s out early and soon we’ll be learning
And the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles and the captain crackles
With the problems and the how’s and why’s
And he can see no reasons cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die?

Tell me why I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why I don’t like Mondays
I want to shoot the whole day down

——————–

The week is just beginning and it’s already been crazy for me so far. Aaarrrgggh! Yeah I generally don’t like Mondays. So, here’s what I have lined up, on the top of my head, waiting for me to be done… 2 albums for my client, at least 5 layouts for my CTs, clean my room and backup my files. The first 3 I have to finish by Wednesday. Good luck me! And my head is starting to ache already. I’m not so sure if it’s because of the loud music I’m playing or because of doing too much extractions of photos or because I haven’t eaten lunch yet or the combination of all three. Haha! Yeah I have to keep my music loud so my mind won’t be pre-occupied with other things. So much to do, so little time… and what am I doing? Blogging! Haha! Nah, I’m just resting a bit then I’m back to work. Have a great week everyone and hope the start of your week is not as crazy as mine! :D

P.S. Do you know the story behind this song? You can read it in an old post on my other blog.

Sad News

Published by B under Forgotten

I just finished talking on the phone with my best friend Jing and she told me a sad news… DaWave’s mom died. :( This is so sad! I never got the chance to meet her because she’s based in London but DaWave always told us stories about her. And I remember DaWave would always tell us na ubusin yung food namin sa plate kase magagalit mom niya. :( Funny no? Pero that’s how she had been part of our lives… yung mga pangaral niya sa anak niya napapasa na din sa ming magkakabarkada. Sana talaga I got the chance to meet her, I’m sure she’s one classy lady. :( And even though I didn’t meet her, it felt like I somehow know her and felt close to her.

And I’m kinda scared because two months ago I dreamed that a few people died. I didn’t know who they were in my dreams but I’m cared because almost always when I dream about something like this, I’ll find a few days later that someone really died. And even if I know who it was in my dream, it is not the same person in real life so I really had no way of telling who it is. And 5 people already passed away since that dream… scary. I really hate it when that happens. :(

Litratong Pinoy: Luntian

Published by B under Litratong Pinoy, Tags n Memes

Pasensiya na po at medyo matagal akong hindi nakasali sa Litratong Pinoy. Ngunit sabi nga sa kanta… kaytagal mo mang nawala, babalik ka rin… at eto nga ako at nagbalik. :) Ang aking lahok para sa ngayong linggo ito ay ang larawan ng mga punong ito. Ang puno at mga halaman ay isa sa mga pinakamagandang luntian para sa akin. Diba’t napakaganda nilang tignan? Sana lang ay ganyan karami o mas marami pa ang mga puno sa ating buong paligid. Nakakalungkot kapag umaakyat ako ng bundok at nakikitang sobrang konti na lang ng mga puno. Haaay buhay! Ibabahagi ko lang itong nalaman ko tungkol sa mga puno… dati pag umaakyat ako ng bundok, naiinip ako parati na makarating na sa tuktok. Nung minsan ay nagpapahinga ako at sabi ng aking kaibigan na huwag na daw akong mainip dahil malapit na daw kami sa tuktok. Nang tinanong ko kung pano niya nalaman, sabi niya na pansinin ko daw ang mga puno… hindi na sila matataas. Eto ay dahil nasa taas na sila ng bundok. Kapag nasa baba sila ay parang nagre-reach out sila sa langit para masinagan ng araw kaya sila matatangkad. Mukhang may kabuluhan naman ang sinabi niya dahil napansin ko nga na mas pandak ang mga puno sa tuktok ng bundok kesa dun sa mga nasa baba atpagkatapos lamang nga ng ilang sandali ay narating na namin ang tuktok. :)

Mga ka LP meron po akong tag para sa inyo. Sana ay makasali kayo…

Visions Of A Sunset

Published by B under Song for the week

by Shawn Stockman

Lived all my days
Trying to embrace
Life with my heart by all the beauty I feel and create

It spins and moves
Flows at my pace
Telling its story from the tear running down my face

Visions of a sunset just appear when I close my eyes
Takes me closer to heaven when the flute starts to fly
And the violin cries

Confusion leaves
While peace orchestrates
Runs through my veins and in other seekers it penetrates

My reason why
The big city air smells so sweet
Takes me through journeys in time from my youth to as far as I can see

Visions of a sunset just appear when I close my eyes
Takes me closer to heaven when the flute starts to fly
And the violin cries

It’s all I need in my life
And no one can take your place by my side
You’re all inside of me

Visions of a sunset just appear when I close my eyes
Takes me closer to heaven when the flute starts to fly
And the violin cries

We’ll free from all sorrow like the wind blows from the sky
Takes me closer to heaven when the flute starts to fly
And the violin cries

——————–

This is from the soundtrack of the movie Mr. Holland’s Opus and it reminds me so much of my friend Ronald! He is a very talented musician and I remember him and me talking on the phone, me singing while he plays his instruments. He’s very talented, he can play at least 5 instruments and he sings well too! I got to know this song through him. I miss you Bunald! :)

Been Busy

Published by B under Forgotten

Sorry for the lack of update here… I’ve been busy these past few weeks and still backlogging in my work. I still have two more albums to complete for my client and haven’t started on it. Anyway, I’m just so happy when I logged in to my friendster account last night, I haven’t checked it for a couple of weeks and saw that two of my closest friends are there! One is a close friend from college and she just had her account and the other one is kinda like a college sweetheart :mrgreen: (haha!) whom I’ve lost touch for some years now. Maybe God is giving me a chance huh? I hope so and I’m really looking forward to seeing him again very soon.

Hmmm, I’m thinking of getting more creative with the code names here in my blog instead of using just initials, I know it is very confusing… so let’s call him Enrique. :D I think I already referred to him to a couple of my posts as QS. Anyway, he was one of my crushes during my college days but I didn’t pay much attention to him because of CharlieBrown. CharlieBrown is AA, that’s the code I used when I was in college because the day I realized that I really like him, he was sitting beside a Charlie Brown poster. So, back to Enrique, this guy’s a major flirt! And I’d always flirt back! Haha! I first met him on a trip to Laiya, Batangas. He was always by my side because he was curious why I was sometimes quiet and would just stare on the beach. O diba mysterious daw? Haha! Anyway, despite being a flirt, he is also such a gentleman. I remember we went to this climb one time, it was dinnertime already and I was helping my other friend pack her bag and Enrique saved me some food because he knew na mauubusan ako. So sweet, isn’t he? :) And it rained while we were climbing and he was so careful not to let me slip. That was when our moonshine activity took place and he was the one who stripped all the way! Haha! (Read this post if you still haven’t.)

Then a couple of years ago, he and my friend Cherry became officemates. He’d always ask her to set up a lunch or dinner date with me but I’d always decline because that time I was already in my hybernating period. Then he moved to another company and that’s when I lost touch with him. I couldn’t contact him through his cellphone numbers and even his landline isn’t working. He has 2 friendster account but hadn’t opened it for about a year or so and I was losing hope. I was thinking he’d lost his password that’s why he created a second account. Then a few days ago was his birthday and I thought maybe he’d check his account because he created both his accounts on a July. So, thinking of the pattern I thought maybe he’d check it this tim, since it is July… and he did! He finally added me as a friend but he hasn’t responded to my message yet. I’m really hoping he will because I really miss him! He is, after all, one of my closest friends. And I’m also hoping that this time he’ll stay… even if just as a friend. Mas kaya kong maging close friend siya kesa kay CharlieBrown.
So do you like the new codenames? Haha! So now it’ll be like this:

AA = CharlieBrown, CO = Carl-O, MC = Macky, MrsMC = Cathy, CB = Chelo, JT = JimmyBody, DA = DaWave, OC = Audrey, MB = MickeyMouse, DocMR = Mikee.

Ok ba sa mga codes? Those are most likely their real names with a little twist, except for CharlieBrown of course. It would be funny if his real name is CharlieBrown, wouldn’t it?

To Litz and Zanne: Thank you so much for your concern girls! Don’t worry, from now on I won’t be drinking too much na especially when I’m depressed. I know napapadalas inom ko for the past few months and I’m also aware that I have the tendency to be an alcoholic kaya medyo hinay-hinay na din ako. :!:
