nag-debate mi ganinang buntag (mag-bisaya jud ko, bahala). as usual, there i was, someone looking so naive (with matching nganga sa mouth) sa ilang mga gina-yawyaw. and to think ha, 3rd speaker ko. lagot kaayo.

the debate was about mindanao and the bangsamoro and the lumad and all. if nadunggan na na ninyo sa news, kana gud ilang separation thingy. waaah napareha nako ila joie about sa "thingy" na word. infectious. haha.

well anyway, ang akong group kay sa negative side, which means na dili mi agree sa separation of mindanao sa philippines. well, dili na ko mag-spill about everything na nahitabo, basta ang point is, napildi mi. mao na 'to.

then when i came home, for the first time in my whole life (char), naa na'y tao sa balay. come on! nisurok akong dugo. char. bitaw, slight. alangan noh, nag-plan na ko ug tamantaman na maggamit ko sa pc, then all of a sudden, my dreams were shattered into pieces! haha char again. OA. exagge. at least, nagdala si papa ug fOoOoOd. my peyborit, saging! haha, mabaw jud ko guys, saging forever jud.

then after that, may nangyari nanaman. o diba multilingual: tagalog, english, bisaya. anyway, i was cleaning a pot half-full of rice to be cooked kanina (tama ba ang term?? you know, kana gud making hugas2 the rice first before siya icook and all.)

ambot naunsa ko basta narealize nalang nako na kusog diay kaayo ang pressure sa water then nabasa ko. perfect. here's the rough sketch (char):


mao na jud na akong best. sorry jud. dili jud ko hawd ug mga photoshop, corel, pati paint.

anyway, may-ishare pala ako. this was the poem that we analyzed and interpreted with all our hearts and minds in AH4. char. hehe. ishare nako siya kay 'til now, wala gihapon ko naka-get over sa iyahang thought and sa pagkasulat and all. basta lingaw. ma-shock jud ka. and kung matingala mo why ingani pagkasulat, wala jud ko'y mabuhat guys, mao jud na ang pagkasulat.

Usa Ka Gabiing Walay Sud-an Ug Way Bituon Ug Sa Akong Nasabtan Ang Angay Basulon Mao Ang Kulafung Gilaklak Ni Papa

By Adonis Durado---


nagmirida na ang kagabhion

naghikog ang iro sa kaugalingon
niyang paghot

si papa miuli nga hubog
si mama galagot
sa bag-o niyang buhok
piste tong bayuta

gipanghungkab ni papa ang kaldero
mga plato

ang nahabilin nga kan-on dukot
ug higot na lay nahabilin
sa soriso

napungot si papa
ug misid-ok ang buwan

milapos sa bintana ang kaldero
tasakutsaraplato

ekstra lards ang tisirt ni mama
apan gapanti ra siya
dihang migawas sa kuwarto

naunsa gud ka
nganong hayblad man ka

pistekolera wa kay nada
gigutom ta wa kay giluto
ang tingog ni papa
miabot sa ikatulong bungtod
sa kanturatoy

gihiwi-an ni mama si papa
ngano na-unsa goy ipalamon nako nimo
naa diay kay gidiposito
mouli ra man gani ka aron mokayat

unsay guy labot nako sa pagkayat nako nimo
gitarget ni papa sa kutsilyo si mama

ug murag namabdos og kalit si mama
kay misurok ang iyang dugo ug
nangala siya ug kutsilyo

giibot ni mama ang kutsilyong mitaroy
sa tatu nga buwak nga anaa sa iyang bilbil
sa iyang tiyan

ug giatake niya si papa

blag tsak tsak
tsug tsak bug bug ugh
tsak tsak tsak tsak
ugh tsak
blag tsak tsak tsak tsak tsak-
tsaktsaktsaktsaktsaktsaktsak

ug sakalagot pa gyud ni mama
gitagod-tagod niya si papa
kinilo
ug gibutang sa predgidir

pagka-lunes gi-un-unan niya
ang bukton ni papa
pagka-martes gituwa niya
ang paa ni papa
pagka-merkules giprito niya
ang ginhawaan ni papa
pagka-huybes gi-iskabitsi niya
ang ulo ni papa
pagka-biyernes gisugba niya
ang lawas ni papa
pagka-sabado gikilaw niya
ang otin ug itlog ni papa

ug pagka-dominggo
dihang wala na miy sud-an
nanghanting og laing bana
ang akong mama




that's all, thank you!!
hala nag-share napud ko. haha lingaw man diay magyawyaw...

OK, let's face it. I, too, have become curious about this Handwriting Analysis craze that's been going on in Multiply for a matter of days now. When I got my results, here's what I found: freaky ang uban kay true; the rest funny kay mali. he he

Welcome Lyle Wednesmay Malubay, here is your handwriting analysis.

Lyle Wednesmay uses judgment to make decisions. She is ruled by her head, not her heart (taka lang ka dootz. i have many regrets in life because I followed my heart. char emo.). She is a cool, collected person who is usually unexpressive emotionally. Some may see her as unemotional. She does have emotions but has no need to express them. She is withdrawn into herself and enjoys being alone (perfect!).

The circumstances when Lyle Wednesmay does express emotions include: extreme anger (jud), extreme passion, and tremendous stress. If someone gets her mad enough to tell her off, she will not be sorry about it later. She puts a mark in her mind when someone angers her. She keeps track of these marks and when she hits that last mark she will let them know they have gone too far. She is ruled somewhat by self-interest (ha ha fine). All her conclusions are made without outside emotional influence. She is very level-headed and will remain calm in an emergency situation. In a situation where other people might get hysterical, she has poise(char).

Lyle Wednesmay will work more efficiently if given space and time to be alone. She would rather not be surrounded by people constantly(!). In a relationship, she will show her love by the things she does rather than by the things she says. Saying "I love you" is not a needed routine because she feels her mate should already know. The only exception to this is if she has logically concluded that it is best for her mate to hear her express her love verbally.

Lyle Wednesmay is not subject to emotional appeals. If someone is selling a product to her, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a standpoint of her sound judgment. She will not be taken in by an emotional story about someone else. She will meet emergencies without getting hysterical and she will always ask "Is this best for me?" (Aah ok. whatever. wala ko kasabot, so murag dili tinuod.)

People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Lyle Wednesmay doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

Lyle Wednesmay will demand respect and will expect others to treat her with honor and dignity (char! pero true). Lyle Wednesmay believes in her ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. She has a lot of pride (wag mo namang ibulgar).

Lyle Wednesmay is secretive. She has secrets which she does not wish to share with others. She intentionally conceals things about herself (waah, how did you know?). She has a private side that she intends to keep that way, especially concerning certain events in her past.

In reference to Lyle Wednesmay's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind (mao ba?). She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When Lyle Wednesmay slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project (waah pareha kay renz).

She has the best of two kinds of minds (lahi akong pagsabot at first. murag, heller, kailangan napud nako ug psychologist?!). One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Lyle Wednesmay can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains(!) with a much better grip.

Lyle Wednesmay is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. She needs to visualize the end of a project before she starts. she finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said she plans everything she is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Lyle Wednesmay basically feels good about herself. She has a positive self-esteem which contributes to her success (lol. dili gud). She feels she has the ability to achieve anything she sets her mind to. However, she sets her goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". She has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, she will not take great risks, as they relate to her goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, her self-perception is better than average.

Lyle Wednesmay is sarcastic (guys, tinuod?). This is a defense mechanism designed to protect her ego when she feels hurt. She pokes people harder than she gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.

Lyle Wednesmay has a healthy imagination and displays a fair amount of trust. She lets new people into her circle of friends. She uses her imagination to understand new ideas, things, and people (ahh kaya pala sige ko ug daydream. ha ha).

For a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward their own world and relationship to things in his or her own space. If the inputted data was correct Lyle Wednesmay has left some white space on the left side of the paper. Lyle Wednesmay fills up the rest of the page in a normal fashion moving the entire writing rightward as she moves down the page. If this is true, then Lyle Wednesmay has a healthy relationship to the past and is ready to move on (X ka nanaman dootz. naglisod man gani ko). The right side of the page represents the future and Lyle Wednesmay is ready and willing to get started living now and planning for the future. Lyle Wednesmay is leaving the past behind and moving on to what she perceives as an exciting and enticing future.


Yun na yun?! Oh well, as quoted from The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery,

Yun na yun?! Oh well, as quoted from The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery,

Woe is you! Low on funds (or friends with funds), you've been marooned in the concrete city. Better not tell your haughty mates, lest they think you're a summer bummer. What to do? What to do? Fake it! Bake it! And make it! Have a faux summer!

SUNKIST. The true sons of summer glow gold and so should you. To become truly burned, you have to log hours under the sun. Grab:

• sheets of unpainted yero
  
• two liters of Coke (original)
• egg timer

What to do:

1. At 15 minutes to noon, climb to the highest point on your property (rooftop, old tree, water tank).
   
2. Lay your sheets of yero a la beach towel, and then strip. (Yes, do it! There's no one watching except Google Earth and village yayas.)
3. To help your bronzed state, slather your pale body with the sticky, dark goodness of Coke.
4. Now, lie down on your yeros for double sun searing exposure (front and back via reflection). Set the timer for 30 minutes. and turn over for another half hour like a lechon.
5. Try other drinks like Sarsi, Beer na Beer, or dark gata to add richness to your color.

BEACH SNAPS. Now that you're nognog, it's time for a photo shoot. Don your coordinated beach wear and, against an all white wall, strike a summer pose. Keep in mind what Tyra says: "Smile wit yo eyez." So, smile your pretty eyes away, inhale like your life depends on it, and vogue. Some scenes to try:

• Just landed and now so happy to be in paradise
  
• Just drunk and now so rolling and lolling around the sands.
• Just me and now so hot and pose-y and super fine!

Now with your ninja Photoshop skills, crop out the white background and paste your bod on fantasy locales. Remember to use proper blending, shadows, and proportions. Do not use Liquify to thin your frame. Snapshots need some semblance of (fat) truth.

PASALUBONG. Trinkets for friends form your faux getaway will move your lies closer to truth. Get crafty. If you came from Faux Boracay, string white shells or whitish shell-looking things into anklets. If you visited Faux Palawan, string pearls from Greenhills into necklaces. If you summered in Batanes, string straw into a vakul, the oh-so-fly traditional headpiece of the Ivatans. Warning! To pass as bona fide pasalubongs, you have to make tough decisions. Can I de-shell my sister's pet turtle and turn it into a necklace? Should I nick my mom's heirloom pearls and pass them off as Palawan pasalubong? Must I cut off lola's Maria Clara hair and spin it into a hat? Yes, yes, and yes.

REFRESH. Before you make your grand return from Faux Summer, get some rest. You need to look fresh and happy like an authentic vacationer who spent days under the sun. On the third day of your Three Days/Two Nights Fake Vacation, do nothing. Draw the curtains, turn your airconditioning to full blast, and beautify. Cleanse, tone, and moisturize. Slap on an oatmeal mud mask. Then, lie down on your bed and tape your eyes shut. Sleep for 12 hours. Wake up from your forced slumber for your four-hour masahe. Sleep again and dream of waves. If you can't do the aforementioned, score a couple of Valiums, Vicodins, or Xanaxes to achieve fake serentiy.

STORIES. Friends and especially foes in friendly disguise will surely quz you about your Faux Summer so get your story straight. Research, memorize, and rehearse:

  
   Where did you stay?        
        "The just opened Boracay/Palawan/Batanes Heights which no one knows about but me."

   Hmmm, who were you with?
        "No one. I needed time to be with myself."

Now, whip out your solo photo series frolicking by the shores and witness the tides change.

   Oooh, did you enjoy?
        "Oh, not so much. I wished you, (dramatic pause) all of you, were there!"

This time, relinquish your dead turtle jewelry/stolen pearl earrings/vakuls made of lola locks into their grubby, stubby hands.

   You're the best! Great summer ever!
        "Group hug! Friends Forevarr!"

You duped them. Congratulations, you've faked summer!


Article borrowed from: Clifford Ray Olanday, Manila Bulletin's Style Weekend, 4 April 2008 issue.

In the final leg* of my mushy two-week vacation, I went off with my sixth** trip to Samal Island. But this time, I went solo, since I came home late in the morning from our impromptu overnight fun at Mark's crib. Thank God my mom told me the details to the trip.

From Pequeno, I went to a small market in Sasa leading to a port. While on the way, I overheard a striking conversation of two innocent-looking children:

Terrible. Super terrible.

STRIKE 1. My trip to Panabo was postponed. Dad said that my brother will go to Tagum today to sign some documents (I presume that those were about land titles) and he'll stay there 'til tomorrow. No one will be left in the house except my mom and dad doesn't want her to be alone tonight. So I had to make excuses to my tita saying that I'll just come the next day. I knew she would be disappointed, and I was right.

STRIKE 2. I tried playing an online game for the nth time. Still, the freaky video card of my bro's freaky computer starts freaking out and boom! his seemingly "edgy" computer "hangs". I couldn't even watch videos from crunchyroll.

STRIKE 3. They always make me feel out of place. Don't ask.

STRIKE 4. With my attempt to relieve stress and release my angst, I decided to go to SM and had a senseless shopping frenzy. I didn't care how much money I brought with me then since I was relying on my card. I bought a bottle of body spray, a pair of flipflops, a bottle each of body scrub and body lotion. Super unfortunately, the cashier said my card didn't work. I made him try it thrice, but still the machine can't read my card. Ouch! I was forced to pay 490php for the things I bought and now I'm penniless.

STRIKE 5. I only spent less than an hour in SM since my freaky shopping craziness was very heartbreaking (or wallet-breaking, in that sense). I was almost crying when I went home. I barely had enough money to buy a gift for a friend. When I opened the door, my mom approached me and asked, "Did you buy those nuts that I told you?". I blankly stared at her and said, "What nuts?!". She told me that she texted me to buy those nuts in SM. With the stupid look on my face, she knew I wasn't able to buy what she asked me to. I was negligent of my cellphone back in SM since I was trying to lose myself in the crowd. And there went her trademark: the perpetual sermon. I wasn't listening intently to her because I was really, really sad about everything.

STRIKE 6. We already received our Internet bill and my mom was asking for our share. My brother and I originally planned to contribute 50php/week from our allowance since we use a bigger share of Internet usage. We had saved 400php in four weeks, kept in a canister in my room. When I opened the canister, my emotions really broke out. Why? I found nothing inside. It was downright EMPTY. I really wanted to curse but I resisted the urge to do so and tried to shut my mouth. Someone stole the money, and I'm absolutely sure who did it.

Does bad luck really have to come one after the other?


I had too much today.
Now, all I want to do is cry.
