Its a Saturday..
And its the last whole day that I'll spend with my grandfather..

I don't know.. But whenever I think about it.. It really makes me cry..

Its just so sudden.. I haven't really talked to him very openly.. Its just my birthday has just passed.. Then one day after.. He just went up..

He had a serious heart attack.. He died sitting on his office chair.. Still want to work.. Still want to do his everyday routine.. But this bullshit ailment just won't go away.. I hate heart attacks.. I lost 2 loved ones already because of this shit.. First is Eddie Guerrero.. Don't get me wrong.. I loved him.. I idolized him.. He became a part of my life.. He gave me happiness and entertainment.. And he died lying in his hotel room.. Leaving his wife, 2 daughters and millions of adoring fans.. I loved him.. very much..

Second.. is my grandfather.. He just died so sudden that I didn't get the chance to tell him I love him.. I mean.. In my life, I never remembered saying those 3 late words to him.. I mean.. He's the soft-spoken one in the family.. I mean very soft-spoken.. But according to his friends.. He's very friendly, talkative and adventurous.. He's very sociable and dependable.. I don't know why he has 2 personalities.. He's just one of the people in the world that I hardly understand..

He went through many problems.. Getting through financial problems, education, family.. I mean.. Only a very brave father can endure.. He lost his 2nd son, her daughter got pregnant early, he had his mild heart attack.. But these have never stopped him from fighting.. He kept helping us.. Even if he knew it will affect him..

His presence.. His presence is all.. He's there whenever we needed him.. He's just there.. watching us have fun.. and constantly taking pictures.. I think his favorite activity is photography.. He travelled countless events just to take picture of every angle.. He takes pictures of everything.. I remembered one time when he took pictures of our eyes.. Only our eyes..

He's very mysterious.. That's why I think my grandmother loved him.. She married him twice.. She endured those hard times with him.. And.. Now.. she's alone.. now that her two children have their own families..

Many loved him.. Its not surprising.. many people came to his funeral.. From company executives, government officials to simple businessmen and people from different provinces... The room was filled with flowers that some of them were displayed outside.. And the flowers and condolences kept coming..

But then.. I know he's with us.. everyday.. Our relatives say they feel his presence.. The master's bedroom smells like flowers, they hear footsteps on the floor below, they feel someone watching the TV downstairs..

I don't know.. But somehow.. I think he knew he will go.. My uncle, his son, took pictures of the funeral with my grandfather's camera.. And scanned the pictures my grandfather took before.. And he discovered.. The last photo he took was that of the grave of his dead son.. In Himlayang Pilipino in Quezon City.. I was there with him.. We were there.. We were celebrating Kuya Benjo's birthday..

I want to see him.. I want to tell him I love him.. as a very good father.. I want to see his smile again.. I want to hear his countless sneezes.. I want to feel his presence beside me.. I want to watch TV with him.. I want pose for his pictures.. I want to see him run to us after clicking that auto-timer on the camera..

I will never forget.. I will never forget him..
I love him.. I love him very much..
Now and forever...

Good Morning!

Una sa lahat, thanks pala sa mga bumati sa akin nung May 19..

Hahaha.. Just to share you my experience that day..

Graduation na namin sa volleyball clinic.. Kahit na medyo may kapalpakan pa rin ako, OK na rin.. Nag-order ng McDo yung Volleyball Club at naghandaan na rin.. Dun ko na lang sinabi na birthday ko.. Heheheh..

After nun, pinapunta na lang kami ni ermats sa Megamall para magliwaliw.. Pero hindi rin kami pinayagan ni erpats kaya... Dun kami sa office ni Ermats maghapon.. Hehehe.. Medyo mukhang exciting 'no.. Pero honestly, hindi.. Wala rin naman kaming nagawa dun kundi manood nung report nila.. Hay.. Ni hindi nga kami nakapag-computer eh.. mula 1pm hanggang 6pm.. Hay.. Umiyak pa nga ako nung maka-usap ko si papa kasi sobra akong na-bore at nasayang ang maghapon ng birthday ko sa wala..

Anyway.. Nang dumating na sina erpats galing airport, kumain na kami sa Chowking ng Megamall.. Tapos pumunta na kami ni erpats sa Globe Telecom para ayusin yung plan ko.. =) MAGKAKAROON NA KO NG CELLPHONE.. Hehehe.. Kaya lang, yung napili kong cellphone, wala pang stock.. And I were to choose from Nokia 5070 to Motorola W175 (hindi ko lang sure ha..).. Pinili ko yung Motorola.. Sabi ni erpats.. mas user-friendly daw yung Nokia.. Pero sabi ko.. OK lang naman yung Motorola eh.. "Computer genius" naman ako kaya makaka-adjust ako sa Motorola..

Tapos sinabi ni erpats na ipapagamit na lang nya yung plan kay ermats tapos papasahan na lang ako ng load na 15 per month.. Nung nasa SM pa kami, hindi ko pa masyadong pinansin kasi excited ako sa cellphone.. Pero pagkagising ko kinabukasan.. Umiyak na naman ako.. Kasi naisip ko.. 15 LOAD PER MONTH..?! What the..?! Grabe.. Parang grounded rin ako nun sa cellphone.. And to think, mas marami pang load ang nagastos ko sa isang buwan kapag nakikitext ako sa classmates ko!

Tsaka.. 1st month ko na yung na may permanent cellphone in 2 long years.. Tapos 15 lang ang load.. Come on..!! Nasabi ko tuloy kay erpats.. Baka kapag kinakalat ko na yung number ko.. sabihin ko na lang sa iisang tao tapos i-forward na lang sa iba.. Grabe naman yun..

Anyway.. Abangan nyo na lang yung cellphone ko.. And I'll update you!
And.. lastly.. Na-update ko na pala yung friendster profile ko.. May playlist na dun ng mga songs and some videos from youtube.. Please take time to visit.. My Friendster URL is.. http://www.friendster.com/justaddwater

Good day!

Isang tulog na lang, birthday ko na..!

Ewan ko ba kung anong special na mangyayari sa araw na iyon.. siguro naman, may isang milyong tao rin ang magse-celebrate ng birthday nila sa May 19.. Hay..

And to think na marami pa akong appointments that day.. May volleyball clinic ako, may despedida party yung tito ko tapos may vaccination pa yung Schzuieii namin.. Hay.. parang buong araw na naman akong gagawa ng araw ng ibang tao..

Anyway.. my topic for today is.. Marriage.. Dahil I love my parents so much.. And I really want to spend time with them.. (sus! plastic!) I would like to share to you about.. what I think, should be the basis of a lifetime relationship.. Hehehe.. Para namang may experience ako, diba.. Pero.. As you all know, I'll take my parents as "test subjects".. Hay.. Kitang-kita naman diba.. They have 5 kids.. Siguro naman mahal na mahal nila isa't-isa 'no..?!..

OK.. Mahirap maghanap ng isang lifetime partner.. Lalo na kung hindi mo pa masyadong alam kung ano gusto mo.. Pero, to help you out.. Here's some guidelines to make your search more specific..=)

A lifetime partner is a part-time...
1) Listener
2) Comedian
3) Massager
4) Back-up
5) Tutor
6) Salesperson
7) All-around Housekeeper
8) Newscaster or preferably, showbiz talk show host
9) DJ or VJ
10) Photographer
11) Employer AND Employee
12) Bodyguard
13) Writer
14) Doctor AND Psychologist
15) Debate opponent
16) Prayer leader
17) Parent
18) Critic/Judge/Jury
19) Training Superior
20) Lover

Hay.. Mas marami pa dyan ang napansin ko sa samahan ng aking mga magulang for almost 17 years.. Tagal 'no..? Kaya naman walang sweldo nilang ginagampanan hindi lang yung mga nakalista dito.. kundi mas marami pang trabaho na sadyang nakakapagod kung titingnan..

Well, stay soon for more of my masterpieces! Dahil.. Sadyang marami pang nakatago sa utak ko for the past 15 years..=)

(Ang saya kahapon!..)

Magandang Hapon po! Hehehe..

Malapit na birthday ko.. Grabe.. Ilang araw na lang.. tatanda na ako ng isang taon.. So weird.. Pero parang failure yata ang plano kong mag-renew ng sarili kasi tinamaan na naman ako ng katamaran..

Anyway.. Hindi naman siguro ganun kapalpak.. Kasi for this week marami akong natutunang lutuin.. Bumili kasi ng bagong cookbook si ermats.. Eh, as we all know.. masarap gamitin ang bago..=) Kaya binuklat ko.. Kahit medyo hindi juicy, nakagawa ako ng stuffed clam.. napagalitan nga ako kasi ginamit ko daw yung tahong.. Eh mahal pa naman yun.. For the first time in histoy, nakapagluto ako ng hotcake na parang McDo style.. Hehehe.. After countless trials yun ha..=) Nakagawa rin ako ng hindi nadudurog na leche flan..! Grabe.. I love cooking.. especially eating..

Feeling ko nga, hindi sapat yung workout ko sa volleyball clinic every Saturday kasi marami rin naman akong kinakain sa ibang araw..=(

Hay.. wala na naman akong gustong i-share sa inyo.. Puro daydream na lang kasi ako ngayon at nood ng movie.. Wala rin ako sa mood para magbigay ng movie review.. Parang naiinis nga ako ngayon sa sarili ko kasi puro daydream na lang ako kung ano mangyayari sa pasukan.. What I wish is that dream ngang school year ang 3rd year ko.. hindi nightmare..

Well, thanks for stopping by.. Don't forget to send me your blogsites para ma-link ko na.. tinatamad akong magblog-hopping eh.. Basta..! I'll check out your blogs ASAP..!=)

Good afternoon po!

Hay.. Ang init talaga dito sa Pinas! Parang Las Vegas na sa tanghali.. Speaking of Las Vegas, naalala ko tuloy yung episode sa CSI na iniwan sa backseat ng sasakyan yung baby.. siguro mga 9 months pa lang.. Dinala nung tatay sa trabaho kasi walang babysitter.. Pero sa sobrang rush, naiwan sa likod ng kotse.. Tanghali na nun.. Tapos summer pa sa Las Vegas.. Dun pa siya nakapark sa open space.. Grabe talaga.. Ginawang tuyo yung bata.. pinatuyo sa araw..
Anyway.. Its so hot na sa bahay.. Dito na lang kami lahat sa office.. Hay.. iniwan na naman ako dito kasama yung mga sanggol.. Pero mas tipid na rin..

Ang sakit ng kamay ko.. Siguro na 50 serves ako kanina sa volleyball clinic.. Nakaka-asar.. Mahina pa rin footwork ko.. Ewan ko ba.. Akala ko, parehas na rin ng footwork ng badminton sa volleyball.. Mas sanay ako sa badminton eh.. Kasi sa badminton, may dagdag ng force kapag hawak mo yung raketa.. Pero sa volleyball.. hahabulin mo na yung bola na may tamang footwork, kelangan may force yung pagpalo.. And the hardest thing.. control and aim.. Hay.. Ano na naman kaya mangyayari next meeting namin... may game na kami nun eh.. Grabe.. pero its worth the effort.. Kasi alam kong nakakabawas ng timbang.. Hehehe.. Lalo pa ngayon na may pambili na ako ng halo-halo kay Manang..=)

Kung mapapansin nyo.. Medyo maka-OPM na yung tugtog ko sa playlist.. kasama ko kasi yung mga bebes.. Baka kasi mainip eh.. Wakekekek!

Ay, Belated Happy Birthday po pala kay Nikko Roxas! Sorry ha.. Hindi ako online eh.. Taker!

Speaking of WWE, nakakamatay na talaga ang excitement.. Paano ba naman.. Si Mr. Kennedy.. na Mr. Money in the Bank.. In-on the line nya yung briefcase sa isang match laban kay Edge.. Yan tuloy, nakuha ni Edge yung Money in the Bank.. =(

Eto naman.. After nung steel cage match ni Undertaker at Batista sa Smackdown for the World Heavyweight Championship, umepal si Mark Henry.. Yan tuloy, nabugbog na naman si Undertaker.. Tapos.. lumabas na si EDGE and he cashed in the Money i the Bank!!! Waaaaa!!!!! Nakatanggap ng spear si Taker tapos na-pin siya ni Edge! Waaaaa!!! Si Edge na ang bagong World Heavyweight Champion! ='(

Hi..! 05-10-07

Just to get you updated on what happened to me earlier.. Grabe... Muntik na akong magpakamatay... Hehehe.. Ewan ko ba.. Nag-brown out kasi kaninang umaga.. And I'm desperate pa naman to watch FULL HOUSE sa KBS World.. Hehehe.. FYI, channel po siya sa cable TV na puro Korean shows.. Luckily naman, may subtitles.. Kaya hindi kami tumutunganga habang nanonood.. Hehehe.. Sa sobrang addiction.. Bumabangon na lang ako bigla kapag Full House na..

Its not that hindi ko siya sinubaybayan dati.. Pero na-miss ko siya.. Kahit alam ko na kung ano mangyayari, excited pa rin ako.. Ewan ko ba.. Hehehe..

OK.. Eto na..

Mga bandang 10am, bumalik na yung kuryente sa amin.. Tuwa naman ako kasi makakanood na kami mamayang 12nn.. Hehehe.. Sa sobrang inip sa paghihintay, nag-lipat na lang ako ng iba pang channel sa ibang bansa... Heheh.. Tapos nung 11:58am, tinira ko na yung remote para ilipat sa KBS.. And the worst thing happened.. Isang channel na lang ang layo, biglang nawalan ng kuryente..!!! WAAAAA!!! Bwisit talaga..

Pero.. Ewan.. Pero sadyang napakatindi mang-trip ng Diyos.. Alam mo yun.. yung tipong siya na yata ang pinakamagaling mag-surprise.. Grabe.. Naalala ko tuloy yung erpats ko..

... Pasukan pa noon.. And I have to print some damn project sa MAPEH.. (Remember? Yung Team Sports..?).. And to impress Mr. Lee Pipz.. Kelangang colored yung project ko.. And sad to say.. Naubos yung colored ink ko sa printer dahil dun sa bwisit na project namin ni Marc sa Botany na inulan na ng green ink.. Hay.. sinabi ko sa erpats ko na kelangan ko ng bagong ink.. Ewan.. Pero hindi ko inisip nun na narinig nya kasi may kausap siya sa phone.. after a few days.. Sinabi ko na sa kanya na ipa-refill na nya.. Medyo galit pa ako kay erpats nun kasi nagka-cram na ako.. Sinabi nya sa akin.. "Sige, kunin mo na yung lalagyan.. Ipaparefill ko na.." Hehehe.. Sa totoo lang.. Bumubulong na ko ng nonsense papunta sa office.. Nagdadabog na ako.. Nung binuksan ko yung cover nung printer.. Nakakita ako ng brand new cartridge ng ink.. both black and colored.. nasa plastic pa.. As in bagong-bago.. Tumakbo na ako kay erpats.. hehehe.. kinikilig sa ginawa nya.. Then I said to myself.. Hay, naku.. Kaya pala ang bilis na-in love si mama..=)

Grabe talaga.. Pero walang kapantay si God mang-trip.. Kasi 5 minutes after that, nagka-ilaw ulit.. And eksaktong sa KBS World na nang binuksan ko yung TV.. Wow..! So good tripness..! God is the most unpredictable thing in the universe.. You know.. Because God is a chocolate-maker.. And he created many boxes of chocolates.. and gave one for each of us.. We were given the same box.. But varying flavors.. We may either like them or not.. But the thing is.. Life is like a box of chocolates.. You never know what you're gonna get.. (Hehehe.. From the movie, Forrest Gump..)

05-08-07 Movie Marathon 2

Hello ulit!
Hindi naman sa sobrang ligalig ako ngayong mag-blog.. Pero I just got to tell you about the movies I watched..

OK, next movie..

3.) A Few Good Men - starring Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Jack Nicholson..
Hay.. The story goes like this.. A marine was dead.. 2 marines were accused for murder.. And its up to Tom Cruise to prove the government wrong about the 2 marines.. Well.. Mahirap talaga kapag ikaw ang defense sa court.. Hehehe.. Contradicting talaga yung sinasabi ng magkabilang group.. Hay naku.. Medyo bibitinin ko na muna kayo ngayon and I won't tell about the story.. Pero its superb.. Medyo mababaw lang naman yung argument ni Cruise sa kaso pero nakakatindig-balahibo yung mga linya.. Like.. "Can you handle the truth?!", "Should we follow the advice of the GALACTICALLY STUPID Ms. Joe...", "You don't need a badge to have honor..",

Hay, grabe.. This is really something.. Ewan ko ba kung bakit hindi nanalo si Tom Cruise ng award dito! I think he's a great actor and he deserves an award for his performance here.. Grabe talaga.. Sa mga gustong mag-lawyer dyan! Panoorin nyo ito..! Syet! mapapamura ka sa sobrang kaba.. Watch this!

4.) School Ties - starring Brendan Fraser, Matt Damon, Chris O'Donnell..
Hehehe.. about the stars in this movie.. Dapat kasama pa si Ben Affleck pero parang extra lang siya sa movie na to kasi hindi pa siya masyadong sikat.. Grabe.. Bata pa lang sila dito kaya ma-iin love talaga kayo sa kagwapuhan nila.. Pero I try to focus on the movie na lang..=)
After receiving a scholarship to an exclusive prep school, working-class teen David becomes a star athlete and wins the attention of a beautiful debutante. But the ties of his newfound friendships are broken when a student reveals the secret David has tried to conceal.. He is JEWISH..

Sa akin naman.. Ano ba kung hudyo ka..?! I mean.. Ewan ko kung ano yun sa ibang bansa.. Hay! Basta! Lalo lang akong nainis kay Matt Damon dahil sa movie na ito.. I mean.. Namumuro na siya ah! Kahit sa Brothers Grimm, The Departed, Bourne Identity and Supremacy.. Grabe talaga.. teeth-grinding ang pagka-inis ko sa kanya!

Basta! Try to watch this movie.. And you'll learn what its like to be discriminated.. hehehehe..
