Quaipo at Cubao, Ilalim o Ibabaw?

Madalas nating maririnig. Oi bao,bao,bao,bao. Nawawala na nga ang Cu sa umpisa sa kaka shortcut ni kuya sa pagtawag ng mga pasahero. Sa Quaipo naman, iyy, Kyapeh peh peh peh,maluweg pe, maluweg pe. Iniipit pa ni Sig shortcut ng Segusmundo ang bibig nya, pa cute.Madalas akong nadadaan dito, malamang ikaw rin. Pero di mo ba napapansin na maihahalintulad din natin to sa buhay? Kagaya na lang ng kakilala kong si Ninoy (kamukha nya kse pag nakasalamin). Aba eh, sa umpisa, babako bako pa ang kalsada papunta sa bahay nila, carlift lang ni Carmen noon. Iba na ngayon, sa kagandahan din naman ng pagkakaroon ng diplomat visa eh, me panahon nga naman si parekoy makapaghanap ng magandang trabaho dito sa Qatar. Sa wakas, matapos ang buwang paghihintay natapos din ang kanyang paghihirap, kala nya wala na syang pag-asa. Nakowwww, Qatargas pa ang nasadlakan. Umexit sya, umuwi ng Pinas, para ma-issuehan ng working visa. Pagbalik, namula raw sya sa hiya dahil Al Maha..hmmm feeling Qatari ang lolo mo, di na dumaan sa immigration, super special ang pagdating. Sya pa naman daw ang pinakahuling lumabas, mantakin mong inuna pa. Mapapatingin ka talaga kung ksama ka. Abaaaa...sino gang kolokoy na itong nangunguna.Mukha namang Nepali. Akala nya ihahatid sya ng company driver sa bahay nila, sa Merweb Hotel ibinaba, bilin daw kse ng company  habang inaayos pa muna ang accommodation nya,e  sa Hotel muna sya stay. Ayunnnn..tsalapp buhay, naguluhan na tuloy ang anak nyang panganay kung bakit tatlo-tatlo ang bahay nya. Una, yung kanilang inuupahan, pangalawa,  Hotel, pangatlo, yung accommodation nya na talaga. Well, pag sinuwerte ka nga naman. H'wag kang mag-alala, ikaw na rin ang susunod na susuwertehen. Random lang daw kse, di ka pa lang napipickup. Pero alam nyo ba kung ano raw ang shortcut para suwertehen at magbilang ng blessings? Hmmmm , abangan, itutuloy.......

Blog, my newest buddy

Thanks Blog for coming to an ill life

In wee hours if I can't sleep at night

You're my ears,my eyes & my nose
The catch basin of my mind that flows

Melancholic foe eventually set its foot
After a coupled-anno on this desert's root
Chums' bind long before entertwined
Now collapsed and dried up the long adored- vine

A quaere protruded right before me
Predicaments came,trunk so weary
In three-fourths vessel, in all corners
Wretched, oppression, fill cup saucers

This unfair plight,why oh why
Even if trunk, a hundred times did try
One flower,profoundly no oblivion

Rage planted,sows when peeps occasion

Humbly this trunk knelt to the ground
But endlessly the flower emits same strange sound

Barred others to converge some connection

Intrusiveness blind,life's not mere competition

A flower and a bee crawled to cloud 7 summit

Marked their halls so high above the limit

Earthly dreams covered, overrated by seclusion

Wormed by temporal poignant illusion

Even at living-source vast, trunk is dying

For masters ill usage, an ant just keep sighing

Thy Eywa hopefully hear this slender plea

The mere pillar,a grip could get by a weakening tree

Thanks Big Blog for being here

The sole voucher of this flaming sphere

Gratefully, one stand is in good hands

You and the mountain,oh strong treasured strands

Exhausting but Rewarding naman

January 28, 2011.Biyernes.6:30 am. Pupungas-pungas. Sportsfest kase ngayon ng CFC (Couples for Christ) Community. Sa mga di po nakakaalam nito, ang CFC Community ay kinabibilangan ng 6 Family Ministries- Couples for Christ itself, CFC Servants of the Lord (SOLD), CFC Handmaids of the Lord (HOLD), CFC Singles for Christ (Singles for Christ),CFC- Youth for Christ (YFC), at CFC Kids for Christ(KFC). Nakakainspire po ang History ng Community na ito, so I'm encouraging you to visit its website. At since member po ang inyong abang lingkod ng SFC, kelangang umattend para itayo ang bandila ng White Team.4 Teams ang maglalaban, White, Yellow, Blue and Red. Matapos sunduin ang 3 sisters (Sis Emie, Dane and Ems), nakarating din kami sa wakas, naligaw pa kase sa kakahanap sa Philippine School of Doha (PSD) as our venue. Siyempre, breakfast muna. Pa nuod-nuod lang, pero me misyon pala kame. Yahweh approached Cathy and I para sumali sa cheering squad. Need pala ng cheerleaders. Go kami.Kudos naman ke Yahweh dahil nagawa nyang matapos ang buong cheer at a limited time, susme, kami pa ang unang salang. Nakakaloka, dahil katatapos lang namin mag final practice kami pala ang unang magpe-present, ok na rin dahil fresh pa sa memories ang steps, yun nga lang tuyong-tuyo na lalamunan namin. Nagpalista kami ni Cathy sa Female Division ng Tug-of-war .Talo naman. Ang lalaking bulto naman kasi ng kalaban. Me strategy pa namang sinabi kaya lang di na relay sa lahat. Dito na twist ang kaliwang leg ko...ang tsakeeeeetttt. Di bale nanalo naman ang boys ng White Team sa Tug-of War.Hataw din ang Team Puti sa Wacky Basketball-salamat ke Sis Josh, shooter ito,sa tulong nila Karen, Tita Liz, etc. Sub daw kami ni Grace, panggulo lang muna habang nagpapahinga ang mga main players. Eto kasing si Ann, trip akong paglaruin. Sa Arcade at Wii lang ako magaling, hehehehe.Buweno, di naman ako nakahawak ng bola kasi ayon sa coach, defense lang ang role ng lola mo, paano ko nga naman mati-test kung makaka-shoot nga ako at saglit lang ang eksena ko, hehehe.Anyway, nag usap na kami ni Cathy na magpa practice kami ng basktball para makatulong na sa team next time. Overall winner?Ang  WWWWW......alang kaabog-abog na Blue Team. In fairness naman sa Yellow Team-Basketball Male Division, galing ng players nila.Naaliw kami dun ha. Hurrah din naman ke Dane sa Volleyball, me tinatago palang galing, nakita namin yun! Alas kuwatro pasado na, ramdam na ang pagod, salamat sa Mama Mia Pizza ni Melvin (friend ni Cathy), pampatanggal ng gutom sa panunuod (nyekkk...nanuod lang pala, ahihihihi).

Natapos naman ang Sportsfest nang maluwalhati. Congrats sa Committee, Bravo! Di na nakasabay pag-uwi si Sis Emie dahil sa meeting. So,after maihatid si Sis Ems, nagkayayaang kumain sa Jollibee Mansoura para makapag chikahan naman kami since we are batchmates naman," We'll be Faithful 2009".Bangka si Sis Abby. Dumating naman si Ate Ann, pinsan ni Sis Dane, kasama si Sean na batang super lusog at cute na si Nikki. Thanks God, nakauwi kami ng maluwalhati kahit na me na discover akong palya ke Schumy (ang aking supah speedy car-what the...), need kong magpacheck/magpapalit siguro ng brake pad, ayaw ng kumagat ng brake eh kaya alalay lang ang takbo.Pagdating sa bahay, iika-ika na ako, kumikirot ang nasabing twisted leg....arrruuggoooyyy, kelangan ng haplas (ay matanda). Nang ako'y makahiga, dun ko naramdaman ang pagod, though masakit ang kaliwang binti, natalo man ang Team namin, exhausting man ang araw, rewarding pa rin dahil masaya at memorable ang 2011 CFC Sportsfest!!!!. So next time, ano? Join na kayo!

Anjan na kse pinalampas pa

Bakit naman kse pag crush mo talaga ang tao, di ka makakilos.

Kulang na lang kumaripas ka ng takbo pag nandyan sya pero pag wala naman sira ang araw mo. In the end mari realize mo na mali ang ginawa mo at laking sisi mo dahil sinayang mo ang pagkakataon na magkasolo kayo. Yosi break. Akala nya di ka talaga nagyoyosi, kesyo wala daw sa itsura mo. Ummmm. bakit apektado ka kung turn-off siya o hinde? Bakit conscious ka kung malakas ang kagat mo sa chicharon e talaga namang natural na crunchy yon. Crush mo nga kse...Lumipas ang mga araw, madalas na kayong nagkikita. Salamat sa mga bagong kasamahang nagsisilbing koneksyon nyo.Pero bakit ganun? Di mo pa rin maipahiwatig? Ramdam mo na rin namang di ka nya sesemplangin di ba? Hayyy, bakit nga naman nagre reincarnate pa si Maria Clara. Kung meron lang paaralang magtuturo ng teknik nang di naman sumabog ang dibdib mo nang patago.Humiling ka pa ng hint ke Lord na sa takdang petsa na ito, isang pahiwatig lang , magbibigay-motibo ka na rin. Sa sobrang busy mo, nakalimutan mo na, di mo namalayan me forwarded message pala. Minsan lang magbigay si Lord pinalampas mo pa, ayan tuloy nagsawa na siguro Siya. So ngayon, binabalik balikan mo na lang ang alaala na kung sana magiliw mong inabot  ang shawl na inihabol nya pa sa yo, halos magkandaipit-ipit na nga ang mama para lang maibigay sa yo tapos di ka man lang nagpasalamat. One time, nadatnan ka nya naghihintay sa lobby, tinanong nya kung sinong hinihintay mo, ang sabi mo, sabay kayong magsisimba ng kaibigan mo, mga isang oras pa bago dumating. Niyaya ka nya somewhere, bigla kang tumayo, ay neng mataranta daw ba? At ang sabi mo anjan na yung friend mo sa parking lot. Parang di yata tugma sa unang statement mo ah? Kung pwede lang manawagan sa magtatawas nung panahong yon di ba? Para tanggalin lang ang mamaw na nagpapakaba sa yo.

Delubyo. Tsk tsk tsk. Ganunpaman, ang sabi nga "It's better to love than not to love at all". At least me memories pa na nagpapakilig.Sayang lang talaga. Kung sana di ka nagpatalo sa insecurity na naramdaman mo. Kung sana nakainom ka lang ng likidong pampatapang at kung pwede lang tawagan si Hiro Nakamura para maibalik ang panahon, ginawa mo na. Cliche man, pero applicable talaga.."Time is gold nga naman." Anjan na kse pinalampas pa. Buweno, ang sabi naman sa gulong nga kapalaran, kung ikaw ay nasa casinohan, umiikot naman ang swerte. Malay mo ang bilang ng love luck sa yo ay kada isang dekada, malamang meron na ngayon. Ten years ago na kse di ba? Hmmm...malalaman natin yan at isa ako sa mga mag aabang. Tandaan mo lang, hwag mo ng pakakawalan pa, kundi...isang dekada na naman ulit, hehehhe.Remember me depreciation, wag pakaasa sa scrap value.

Impel Big BANG 2011

Big BANG- You bet and I bet , you thought it's about the theory of the origin of the universe stating that its existence is around 13.7 billion years ago from the time Big Bang occurred. Hey, I'm not talking about the proposed name by Georges Lemaitre neither the rich milk chocolate with chewy nougat and crunchy rice crispies…in short the chocolate bar of Universal Robina Corporation. Well, well, well. It's the Mantra that has to be engraved in our hearts and to be carried out in this Year of the Rabbit 2011- A placid year, very much welcomed and needed after the ferocious year of the Tiger

So, what does this Big BANG stand for?

B- for Balancing Life
A-for Aligning goals in His will

N-for Nurturing relationships, and

G-to Glorify God

Sitting blankly on a chair in Rm 1019 of the Parish Church, shamefully... a latecomer again then suddenly the words banged me. Yeah, right 2011 must be something new. And just in time, I was thinking how to start this blog just as how to start the year sooo right. And two snaps, this is it.

1. For all of us, balancing life is a tough, formidable thing to do. Happiness as they say is not a matter of intensity but of balance. So in order to avoid being "off balance", we need a helicopter view to bring things back into balance and a tool commonly used by professional life coaches - The Wheel of Life.  All we have to do is just to make a list of all the areas of our lives like Home/Physical Environment, Partner, Career/Business, Growth/Learning, Health, Family & Friends, Community, Fun and Spirituality. The Wheel of Life is powerful because it gives you a vivid visual representation of the way your life is currently, compared with the way you'd ideally like it to be. It is called the "Wheel of Life" because each area of your life is mapped on a circle, like the spoke of a wheel. In the end, you will need to make choices and compromises, as your time and energy are not in unlimited supply! Once you have identified the areas that need attention, it's time to plan the actions needed to work on regaining balance. Make a commitment plan and wite them down. In this case, discipline is a must.
2. Alignment-Before you map out your goals, determine the priorities (not the shoulds) in your life that you’re not willing to sacrifice. This way, you can identify the activities you need to engage in and what you are willing to give up today (maybe even a conscious, short – term sacrifice of certain priorities) in pursuit of a bigger dream tomorrow. What I mean with not the shoulds-well, sometimes we are setting goals because of what we have seen from others and we think that's what we should do, too. But in the end, you'll feel miserable. So, cut the should thoughts and you’ll find the process of working towards these goals more enjoyable and fulfilling, without feeling as if you’re continually pushing for something to happen. Instead, you’ll be pulled towards your goal with less of an effort.. Lastly, we've got to bear in mind that everything is in God's will. Ask his guidance to achieve our goals in life.
3. Nurture relationships- There you go, you have it in the Wheel of Life but would you just leave it plainly? Relationships are fragile things and do not blossom and grow without work. There are a number of basic principles which, if applied, will strengthen any relationship. These include making time for each other, good communication, willingness to listen, compromise, and mutual respect. Check if you have missed one of these, then make it up.
4. Glorify God- As what we have read from Rick Warren's The Purpose-Driven Life...What on earth Am I here for? First chapter starts with It's not about you. Wake up kid, come on, you are not the star on this planet earth. It's Him and only Him.That is why we are created here. To glorify God.  Question: Then How to glorify God? Here are some steps:        Take the good news, Lift Him up, Bow and kneel down, Worship Him, Sing songs and remember His laws, Give Offerings, Fear Him, Magnify Him, Acknowledge God in all your ways, Work God's plan, Do not be slothful, Love others, Proclaim Him, and Be Happy as God is glorified when you are satisfied.

You got your New Year's Resolutions, a 100 list of Wannabees? I just got four in my pocket, and that's my Big BANG! But whatever it may be, we are united to welcome 2011. May it be a fruitful year for ALL OF US.
