Medyo mahirap ang tema ngayong linggong ito dahil kung ating iisipin ay hindi naman nakikita ang hangin. Kaya’t naghanap ako ng bagay na makikitang gumagalaw dahil sa ihip ng hangin. Ito ay ang larawan ng aking kaibigan habang siya ay nagsu-surf. Nagagawa niya ito sa tulong ng alon ng dagat na nabubuo dahil sa ihip ng hangin. Mas malakas, mas masaya… siguraduhin lang na marunong kang lumangoy at baka madisgrasya. Sana ay magustuhan niyo ang aking lahok ngayong linggong ito. Maligayang LP mga kaibigan!

1. “It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” What do you think of that sayings?
I used to believe in this and would still like to despite all the hurt.

2. How much money do you have in your wallet? Right now!
About 4k. That’s my money from my trip, UncleJoe paid for everything.

3. When you fall asleep are you usually on your side, your stomach, or your back?
On my side or on my stomach

4. When you have a deadline do you get started right away, wait until the last minute, or switch back and forth between things?
It depends… I sometimes get started right away and I also sometimes switch back and forth between things

5. What is the the most extreme sports you ever did?
Hmmm… I’m really not sure but it’s got to be when I went spelunking in Sagada. I was inside the cave for about 9 hours. I thought that it was going to be easy but it wasn’t.

6. If you find a spider in your house do you kill it, ignore it, or shoo it outside? Why?
I don’t like spiders but don’t have the heart to kill it so I just ignore it or if I have enough strength then I’ll shoo it outside.

7. Do you smoke?
I started smoking in 1996 and then stopped in 2005. Then I smoked again March this year and stopped last month as a pledge for my niece who’s undorgoing surgery in July. I don’t wanna smoke cigs anymore, spliff na lang. Haha!

8. If you only have one day to live, what would you do?
Spend it doing something good.

9. Would you rather be richer than anyone, better than everyone, or less encumbered by responsibility? And Why?
I’d want to be richer to be able to help others. I want to be better than who I am now and in all the things I do and wanna do. Of course everyone would want less responsibilities but then life would be boring then, so I’d say “Bring it on!”

10. Which of the following characteristics would you rather have? Choose only one. And Why? Nice, Exciting, Loving, Hot!
This is tough but I think I’d rather be loving, kinda covers everything else if you are capable of love.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous. Love is not proud and does not boast. Love does not do things that are not nice. Love does not just think of itself. Love does not get angry. Love holds no wrong feelings in the heart. Love is not glad when people do wrong things. But it is always glad when they do right. Love forgives everything. Love is always trusting, and always hoping, and never gives up. Love never ends. The gift of speaking words from God will end. The gift of speaking in different tongues or languages will stop. The gift of knowing many things will end.

I’m not really sure how to react to this but a week before I left for La Union, I checked on my bank account online so I could withdraw some money to use for my client’s album. I was kinda irritated to find out that every thing was gone except for some 600 bucks. My sister withdrew all my money because she needed to pay her credit card bills and payday was still about a week away. It was okay for her to borrow my money but she should have at least said something because I also needed it too. I suggested to her next time she apply for payday loans to help her with financial stuff until she receives her next paycheck. I saw this one on the net, Payeveryone.net which is fast and very easy. They will look for a lender for her and she could get up from $500 to $1500 if her loan gets approved, which usually is the next business day. That should be enough for her to pay all her bills while waiting for the next payday and the lender would even discuss with her her payment plan options. And thank goodness she’s now considering in applying for one. I won’t ask her to pay me back because I know she needed it badly, but I asked her that next she let me know first.

No I’m not crying for help and I’m not gonna either… not now. I was thinking of writing about CO today but decided to just do it next time. So, why this song? AA and I went to a Family KTV in Baguio and surprisingly (for me), he chose this song. I never imagined him liking this song… he’s more into rock and alternative. He even knew who the artist was when usually it’s just the title of the song. So me naman, I listened to the lyrics very carefully… feeling ko siempre in a way ako yung pinapatamaan niya. Kapal ko talaga! Usually when I’m troubled, I’d tell him what’s wrong but wouldn’t spill the details or whenever I did naman I’d tell him sorry kse siya nagiging shock-absorber ko. And whenever he tried to comfort me, I’d try to convince him I’ll be fine. He knows kse my problems (aside from those that he caused) that’s why he’s really trying to understand me. Eh he knows I’m still not that open to him when it comes to my troubles. It’s usually CO whom I ran to but he’s not here right now so, it’s AA. And whenever I tell AA my troubles, I’d always say sorry afterwards, you know, for making him listen and for wasting his time. I know naman he appreciates my openness to him, hindi lang talaga ko sanay na sa kanya mag open-up. And whenever we’d have an arguement, I’d make him feel guilty. Or whenever I start a serious conversation, ako yung maiinis in the end and he’d feel guilty. Yeah, sometimes harsh siya but he’s doing that to shut me up cause if not, lalo lang magwo-worsen yung conversation namin. He doesn’t know how to handle me yet pagdating sa mga ganto, unlike CO, alam niya kung anong gagawin sa kin. So anyway, here’s the song… enjoy listening!

P.S. Rick Astley looks good here! Gwapo! He actually wrote this song. And did you know that he plays the drums? And he was just starting in the music business as an artist, people who haven’t seen him yet thought that he was black because of his soulful voice!

CRY FOR HELP
Rick Astley

She’s taken my time, convinced me she’s fine
But when she leaves I’m not so sure
It’s always the same, she’s playing her game
And when she goes I feel to blame
Why won’t she say she needs me
I know she’s not as strong as she seem

Why don’t I see a cry for help
Why don’t I feel a cry for help
Why don’t I hear her cry for help

I wandered around the streets of this town
Trying to find sense in it all
The rain on my face, it covers the trace
Of all the tears I’ve had to waste
Why must we hide emotions
Why must we ever break down and cry

All that I need is to cry for help
Somebody please hear me cry for help
All I can do is cry for help

No need to feel ashamed
Release the pain and cry for help

Why must we hide emotions
Why can’t we ever break down and cry

All that I need is to cry for help
I will be there when you cry for help
Why don’t I hear her cry for help
All that I need is a cry for help
Somebody please hear me cry for help
All I can do is cry for help
All that I need is to cry for help
I will be there when you cry for help
Is it so hard to cry for help

No need to feel ashamed
Come on and release the pain
Now put your trust in me
My love is gonna set you free
All I need is a cry for help

My friend JT, who’s based in Romblon, is in town and wants us to have a get-together. So we went to MC’s place Saturday night. MrsMC cooked bagoong rice. Yummy! We were supposed to drink but MC fell asleep and AA wasn’t there because he has a basketball game early the next day. So they just played poker. I didn’t play, I just watched them. And while playing we were watching Nacho Libre. It was funny and most of the time the players were distracted by the movie. After awhile, MrsMC’s nephew, who’s 5 years old and was there for a vacation, got out of the room to watch the poker players. It was already about 12 midnight and he’s still awake. Then after a few minutes, maybe he got bored, he switched the TV channel to Disney Channel. Shaun the Sheep was on and, again, the players were destructed. It was hilarious because there were 7 of us there who were grownups and only 1 kid. We were all laughing so hard at the show and MrsMC’s wasn’t. Haha! He was the one who was supposed to be entertained because it was a kid’s show, but instead, the grownups were. As in we were all laughing so hard and so loud, we woke up MC. My stomach was already hurting from so much laughter.

Anyway, I’ll won’t be around for the next days… I’m going to the beach! Woohoo! It wasn’t planned. I was just my usual stuff on my PC when AA sent me a message in YM. His uncle arrived last Friday from the US and they’re going to La Union tomorrow. He asked me if I wanted to come and that they’ll be back, the earliest, on Friday. I didn’t have much time to think about it cause he was in hurry to get my response. So, I said yes. We might go all the way to Pagudpud and who knows where else. Bahala na si Batman!

Finally, I finished watching the movie The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. It took me 3 days (Yes, 3 days! Haha!) to finish watching it. No, it’s not boring… it’s very interesting and intriguing actually… I just watched it at the wrong time, twice. Now it makes me want to read the book or any other book about Jesse James and the movie made me Brad Pitt more. Haha! I even looked for his Jesse James’ photos in the internet, especially the ones when he was already dead. Now, I’m off to watch No Country for Old Men starring Tommy Lee Jones and James Brolin. I hope it’s a good one too and that it won’t make me fall asleep. Happy weekend everyone!

Minsan ay nagbakasyon ako sa bahay sa La Union ng aking dating editor. Nung gabi ay nag-ihaw kami ng aming kakainin para sa hapunan. Pagkatapos naming mag-ihaw ay nag-ayos kami ng hapag kainan at habang inaayos namin ito ay nadinig ko si editor na sinisigaw ang pangalan ko, pinagmamadali akong pumunta kung saan siya naroroon. Pinakuha niya din ang aking kamera at bilisan ko daw kaya’t dali-dali akong nagtatakbo pabalik ng bahay para kuhanin ang kamera. Pagdating ko sa kanyang kinaroroonan ay nakita ko ang mga nagbabaga pang abo mula dun sa apoy na lumilipad at tila sumasayaw sa hangin. Dali-dali ko itong kinuhanan ng larawan at medyo tinagalan ko ang exposure para makita ang direksyon ng mga abong lumilipad. Diba’t napakaganda ng kinalabasan? Sana ay nagustuhan niyo ang aking lahok para sa linggong ito.

Pagmasdan ang ulan unti-unting pumapatak
Sa mga halama’t mga bulaklak
Pagmasdan ang dilim unti-unting bumabalot
Sa buong paligid tuwing umuulan

Kasabay ng ulan bumubuhos ang iyong ganda
Kasabay ng hanging kumakanta
Maaari bang huwag ka nang
Sa piling ko’y lumisan pa
Hanggang ang hangi’t ula’y tumila na

Buhos na ulan aking mundo’y lunuring tuluyan
Tulad ng pag-agos mo
Di mapipigil ang puso kong nagliliyab
Pag-ibig ko’y umaapaw
Damdamin ko’y humihiyaw sa tuwa
Tuwing umuulan at kapiling ka

Pagmasdan ang ulan unti-unting tumitila
Ikaw ri’y magpapaalam na
Maaari bang minsan pa
Mahagkan ka’t maiduyan pa
Sa tubig at ulan lamang ang saksi

Minsan pa ulan bumuhos ka
Huwag nang tumigil pa
Hatid mo ma’y bagyo
Dalangin ito ng puso kong sumasamo
Pag-ibig ko’y umaapaw
Damdamin ko’y humihiyaw sa tuwa
Tuwing umuulan at kapiling ka

I found this version of the song with guitars only by Nel Pascual. I hope he doesn’t mind me sharing his talent with you… thanks Nel!

Anyway, this song is perfect for today… it’s raining! Hope I could still jog though. I love rain! But I hate umbrellas! I’d rather get wet and go home drenched than bring an umbrella. I really don’t know why… maybe because I’m too lazy. Rain actually brings back a lot of good memories.

There were a couple of times when it started raining and CO, AA and I ran to the court in our village and bathe in the rain and played like kids. It was fun! We ran around the court, singing and jumping on puddles. People from the houses around the court were staring at us but we didn’t mind them and just thought they’re only jealous cause they didn’t have the guts to do what we did. Haha! When we got home, we all took a bath together on our veranda because we couldn’t go inside the house because we were dripping wet.

And here’s another rain story… there was this one time, we climbed Mt. Tikbalang in Batangas for our org’s acquaintance trip. We started the climb at night (it was an easy climb, only 40 minutes or less) and it started raining. When it was time for the socials already, we had this game called moonshine. The idea of the game was to let the moon shine on our body… no cameras and flashlights allowed… just the moon and us. Those of us who joined were asked to form a circle and to face outside the circle. Then we were asked to remove our clothes (but not our underclothes) and to face inside the circle in the count of three. When we were already facing inside the circle, people started laughing. So I looked around and then found out why… QS (the other love of my life) wasn’t wearing anything! We were just supposed to take off our shirt and shorts but not our undies! Haha! Turned out, he took of his undies after pitching the tent because he was drenched from the rain. Hahaha! And then he went in the middle of the circle and started dancing and swaying his shorts in the air. Of course he was covering his thingy with his other hand. Haha! It was so funny and he was such a good sport!
