BBK -Gee

bbk, 2 nyts na daw pong sira yung Smart bro nina Kuya Rex kaya hindi daw po niya magawa yung activity...

Charles' Loneliest

Ok. Task no. 3. My loneliest days.

That was September 24, 2004 (fri), the day that my Grandfather died.

Morning. Ginising ako ng lola ko nang umaga, akala ko, dahil may pasok ako, iba yung kanyang pagkatok, kaya napasigaw ako sa pagsibi ng “Ano?”, pero natahimik ako dahil umiiyak siya, sabi niya “Wala na si Tatay!”, para akong tinanggalan ng hangin, tumakbo ako pababa, papuntang kwarto niya at nakita ko dun yung tita at pinsan ko na umiiyak!

Nilapitan ko yung katawan ni Lolo at niyakap ko, sabi ko sa kanya “Salamat Lo, at nagpahinga ka na!” It was already 2 years since my grandfather had a stroke that made him bedridden, nag hirap tignan ng Lolo ko na nakahiga, siya yung nagpalaki sa akin simula noong baby pa ako, at nasasaktan ako tuwing nakikita ko siyang nahihirapan.

Sept. 23 (thurs), was the last day of our Campaign in the election as Year Level representative in the Student Government, so I went to the Prayer Room inside our Campus Chapel, I prayed for my victory and for the health of my family. Pinagdasal ko na kung hindi na kaya ni Lolo, kunin na siya ng Diyos, at kinabukasan nga ay wala na siya!

Sept 24. Afternoon. I still went to the school, para magpaalam sa mgaprofessors ko na di ako makakapasok ng 5 days and to vote in the SG elections, that same night, nanalo ako, siguro, sinalo na ng Lolo ko yung pagkapanalo ko, siguro para malaman ko kung ano ang tunay na tingin ng mga kasama ko sa akin.

I still miss my Lolo and I still pray for his soul after 2 years of his demise.

That is one of the loneliest days of my life.

Ann blogs: Judgement day

It has been said that the end of the world this time will be done thru fire. during noah's time, the Creator ended it with water. while watching BBC documentary entitled "global dimming," i saw something uniquely thought-provoking. a climatologist named peter cox remarks that if global warming or the greenhouse effect is not impeded as early as today, there is a possibility that in the near future, the average temperature in earth's atmosphere will be 10 degrees higher. at this projected scenario, the climatologist predicted that methane can possibly be emitted on earth replacing the C02 which is eight times hotter than C02, burning even our ocean. the documentary shows a picture of it. well i guess, the common notion by religious has to be believed then. EARTH WILL END WITH FIRE.

Gee blogs: Our Dinning Table (My Loneliest Moment)

BBK gave us a nice but NOT-SO-EASY activity: Share Your Loneliest Moment...

It took me days to think about where and how should I start and actually, I planned not to submit this activity but nahiya naman ako sa other VH na nakapag submit na.

So, Finally, here I am, typing my MOST LONELIEST MOMENT.

Four years ago, my Tito Jun, who left our house for years finally got home. He worked on our province kasi. Siya nga pala yung nag alaga samin ng brother ko when we're small. We're so happy, yet sad because we found out na medyo humina yung pandinig niya because of his work. And also, he was sooo thin and he had this illness called Tuberculosis. Nakakaawa. He borrowed money from his neighbor pa para lang makaluwas. So, pinagamot namin siya. My brother and I treated him na parang ka-age lang and parang walang dapat ikabahala. But there was a time na I was super focused on my highschool life and it's like, nakakalimutan kong meron pa pala akong family. Good thing naging super close sila ng brother ko.

One night, September 1, 2003, I got home from school. When I saw them sa window, My Dad, My Dada, My Brother and My Uncle were watching PBA then and they we're very entertained. "This night must be a fine night ", I said to my self. Dinner time na. When we were eating, biniro pa ako ni Tito Jun and himala, hindi yata ako masungit nun. Then, minutes lang yung gap, lumabas yung brother ko and he saw him, floating on his own blood. He screamed "Ma, si Tito! si Tito!", lumabas ako and I yelled also, as load as I can. " Tulong!!! Tulungan niyo kami!". First time kong makakita ng isang taong madugo. My mom was hysterical at that moment. We didn't know what should we do kasi nga, shocked kami! It's very unexpected. Good thing some of our neighbors helped us. They rushed him to the nearest hospital while dada, hanz and I were waiting sa house. Tatay Efren went to our house, nakabihis na kami ng brother ko nun, and supposed to be, pupunta kami dun sa Hospital but sabi niya "San kayo pupunta?". I said " Pupunta kami kay Tito Jun. Ginagamot lang naman yung sugat niya diba?". Then, he replied, "Wala na ang Tito niyo, Patay na". May certain artery daw na napatid while he was coughing. And yung iba, hindi ko na inalam. That was the first time na namatayan kami ng super close relative. It's so painful.

I said to myself, sana pala, nilubos-lubos ko na yung pakikipag-bonding sa kanya. Sana pala, hindi ko sila madalas sinusungitan. But I was still thakful kasi atleast, Lord gave us another year to spend time w/ each other.

Then, a year and a half after my Dada (my mother's father) was diagnosed w/ LUNG CANCER. Stage 4 na nung nalaman namin, and 6 months na lang daw yung longest. It's very hard for us kasi, medyo fresh pa rin samin yung nangyari kay Tito Jun. My Dada, siya rin yung nag-alaga saminng brother ko. And he's the most patient grandfather. Well, bata pa lang super spoiled ako sa kanya. Ayaw niya akong pagtrabahuhin sa house kasi daw nag-aaral ako. He's very nice. but, I admit sometimes, I'm not a good granddaughter to him. Mainitin kasi ulo ko.

We didn't tell him actually na CANCER yung sakit niya, kasi, feeling namin, hindi siya makiki cooperate samin. Sinabi niya kasi before na if magkaka-cancer, wag na namin siya ipagamot.

Ilang gabi akong di nakakatulog kasi ako yung nagbabantay sa kanya. Nung wala pa siyang oxygen, he was depending sa air that comes from my fan. Grabe, everytime na dumadating yung truck na nagdedeliver ng oxygen tank niya, naluluha ako. And sa tuwing minsan, nag-iisip bata siya nagpapasensiya na lang ako kagaya nang pagpapasensiya niya sa amin kapar matigas ang ulo namin. Mahirap! halos naging hospital na yung house namin. Pero okay lang and hindi kami naniniwala sa dun sa 6 months na yun. Sabi nga ng dad ko, may herbal medicines pa daw kami, and may Diyos. Yup, iyon yung time na naging pinaka-close ako kay God. Sa tuwing hnahapo siya, and sa tuwing hinhahagod ng mom ko yung likod niya, lagi niyang sinasabi "Diyos ko, sana po bigyan niyo pa po ako ng maraming taon". Naala ko pa nga, we were always saying " Laban ka lang dada, kaya mo yan!". And yun nga yung ginawa niya.

March 23, 2005, 2:00am. wala ng silbi yung oxygen tank niya. Hindi na namin alam yung gagawin. natulog siya, then pagkagising niya, naghanap agad siya ng food. Bilisan ko daw kasi gutom na gutom na siya. Madaling araw nun so noodles na lang yung niluto namin, and iyak na ng iyak si mommy kasi daw nagbabaon na daw siya...

.................................................

Napaka haba ng day na iyon. Ayoko na siyang idetalye.... basta, in the end, kitang kita namin na lumalaban talaga siya, kahit di na kaya ng katawan niya. That time, feeling ko, I was soooo selfish kasi hindi ko inisip na nahihirapan na talaga siya kaya ng pray ako, sabi ko if talagang hindi na pwede, kunin na niya siya kasi hira na hirap na siya. 10:00pm, he passed away.

Maraming tumulong sa amin........

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

One day, my 5 year old kinakapatid went to our house (pinag-alaga ako ng mom ko!). Then, she was counting our chairs sa dinning table. " One, two, three, four... Bat four na lang? Ahhhh... kasi wala na si Tito Jun saka si Dada kaya four na lang yung chairs niyo". Natawa ako dun kasi ang cute niya but, I immediately went to my room and cried. OO nga, 4 na lang kami sa house, wala na yung mga nag-alaga samin ng brother ko. Hindi man lang kami nakabawi. Kaya pala dati, may isang time na habang kumakain kaming 6 (7 pala plus our maid), tahimik lang ako ang I was like cherishing that moment. Yung mga dark times namin na iyon, hindi iniisip na malungkot ako but that scene really made me lonely; realizing that we'll never be 6 again.

*************************

WE MISS YOU DADA AND TITO JUN! I MISS YOU!

Charles' Johari

I first learned about theJ ohari’s Window during my high school days, and we made one during that time too, and I didnt imagine taht I would be making another one after that, but thankfully, this time, technology and internet stepped in, so I wouldnt have to bother making that window.

I didnt expect to reach 50 people to sign in it, but surprise, surprise!

So now for my reflection, I always know that I am an idealistic person, that truly shows on our projects, full of ideas, but non came to existence, but hopefully one day, one will, that will change the course of history and make the Philippines great! Yeah, they are correct to, I am a well organized person, and a mature one.

They say I am energetic, I really didnt feel like one, I just wanted to sit on the couch and watch TV or movies, but maybe there are some circumstances that really made them say I am energetic, if there is one, I’ll find that one!

I know that I am not tense, I think it is because, I think, I seldom drink coffee! Hehehe, no, seriously, I dont feel tense when doing something, but when Im dreading at something, I really feel that tense, usually I feel confident at doing things, such as giving a speech or singing in public (vid-oke, duh!)

Logical, may be, but it is common sense and critical thinking, a skill that my Alma mater, Philippine Normal University, wants her students to have!

So, all in all, I am truly greatful for my friends and classmates to answer my window and share their thoughts about me to my co-VH and to the public!

Thanks alot!

DAY FORTY-ONE
Benj blogs: PBBFG Tasks

I just to get these things out of the way.

Task 1. The Johari Window

Benj’s johari window

I only duped 15 people into filling out this page - shame on you if you didn’t fill the page out.

I think it’s pretty obvious why people think I’m intelligent, witty, logical, spontaneous, self-assertive (quick, what’s the difference between self-assertive and assertive?), clever and confident so let’s not kid ourselves that that’s a shock. hehe.

What’s really interesting is that one out of four respondents actually found me friendly. That just shows how things could be projected a lot differently over cyberspace. I’m not friendly, kids - and that’s a HUGE understatement.

That’s about it, everything else was expected other than Reign’s obviously meant-as-a-joke ticking of “religious”. hehe

I can’t really say much because I don’t really care about how other people see me. As cold as that sounds, that’s just the way I am.

DAY FORTY
Benj blogs: Oh, the hypocrisy! July 13, 2006

I remember visiting a blog that featured really nice pictures of whale sharks in Donsol. He was a lucky guy, he got to see eight whale sharks that day.

I left a comment commending him for his great photos and amazing luck in interacting with the world’s largest fish.

He humbly accepted my compliment…

and then, the single greatest moment of hypocrisy happened…

he told me : SAVE THE WHALE SHARKS!

right. cute, really.

Isn’t it obvious that having 30 boats tailing every single whale shark is just as bad as exposing the sharks to the noise and pollution generated by dynamite fishing?

Isn’t it obvious that having people chase a whale shark into the open sea disrupts the fish in its normal biorhythm?

Isn’t it obvious that interaction in itself puts a strain on the already precarious status of the animal as an endangered species?

Going to Donsol to swim with whale sharks doesn’t make you an environmentalist - it makes you a tourist who is willing to disturb a helpless peaceful giant minding its own business. Unless you’re a marine biologist of course.

If you want to save the whale sharks, don’t encourage the type of tourism that invades the sharks’ natural feeding grounds.

If you can’t help it, be like everyone else and just go disturb the whale sharks without preaching your illogical stance.

Jeebus.

Ann blogs: Scream!!!

I have been a victim of abusive texters in the past that's why i was quite changing my number for so many times. for me, it's hard to ignore those texters because i for one believe they are still human who needs respect and attention. but sometimes, the story went so bad especially when you were having a bad day, stressed and tired, then suddenly someone would text you "oh kamusta ka na?." when it is someone you do not like and would just like to avoid, the day would seem to be worse and darker. it just can't be! this is not the people whom you wanna talk with and spend time with at this dreary time of your life! ul just want to scream and say forbidden words just to silence them, knock their head, and say "hello, close ba tayo?." you did not want to be rude but the circumstance told you to be. but then when someone really special send you a text message, kahit forwarded lang, your day would seem to be brigther and less heavy. this is the people that i want to talk with during this dreary time of my life! is that the calvary of kind people (coz i am! ahem), you do not wanna hurt other people's feeling, but then you needed to do so just to send them a message that "hey! i don't need you here so stay put!" (stay put or else i will scream or say something really not good) God, forgive me.

Benj blogs: Mike Turner was here!

Benj blogs: Kahirapan

I wanted to take pictures of the more congested parts, but I was too busy watching my step and watching out for dogs. hehe. Kuha ko yan sa community medicine immersion namin sa Malibay (isang dura nalang galing sa nagtataasang gusali ng makati).

Gee's Johari's Window

I can't believe that a lot of them sees me as a friendly person. And dominant trait pa siya... Kasi, I do feel that they often view me as a SNOB, MASUNGIT and MATARAY... actually, first impression kasi sa akin yan (madalas). Actually, pa-shy effect talaga ako at first... haha!

I picked ACCEPTING, CARING, CHEERFUL, ENERGETIC, SENTIMENTAL AND SYMPATHETIC. And all of them appeared in the ARENA... nice! does it mean that I'm transparent? hehehe...

And even though only 26% picked CONFIDENT, I'm still surprised. NERBYOSA KAYA AKO NOH! It means hindi siya halata? hehe... Gosh!

So, I actually liked this activity (although bloody maghanap ng participants...). Knowing the things that you don't know about your self is kinda amazing (lalo na if positive trait siya na super unexpected...). Thanx to all who thought that I'm confident. Nakakabawas siya ng inferiority complex.

Thanx a lot sa mga participants, lalo na sa mga unexpected peepz na sumagot ( Kuya aeil, Shierlyn, Kc_samesame...). na-appreciate ko siya, as in. Makakabawi din ako sa inyo.

So, that's it... I'm looking forward to have a great activity again...

Ann blogs: Tv hosting

Maybe there's something fun about being seen in nationwide tv, putting some smile on other's face and blabbing different stories for others to see. i guess it feels to good to be right there on cam, in front of so many people, while you are doing your best shot. this morning as i was watching my favorite tv morning show breakfast, i was quite impressed with maritonie pacheco and bum aquino while being given the tribute of breakfast's youngsters. it was quite a nice episode as it got back to breakfast early years when mariton and bum were younger. they were agrresive, assertive and intelligent young people who at an early age have found their life's purpose. this is quite inspiring to all those young people who dream to be BIG someday, someone really big. fyi, bum aquino will be entering the world of politics after he ended his tenure as the NYC commissioner. i know coz my groupmate and classmate dino at NCPAG is the CEO of the commission. then, the women power. mariton pacheco is moving in a more mature spot at ANC to host with TJ manotoc and nina. they have matured from a youngster's show, to venture in something more "adult." ryan agoncillo would even reiterate it many times when interviewed, "na-realize nyo nang tumatanda kayo" (with a sheepish smile). but what matters is that maritone and bum have aged having a purpose, they will just continue to dream big and live life to its fullest.

LONELIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE

Ann: Kuya asked me to blog it so here's my activity (even I am hesitant). What are the loneliest days of my life? When I was 19 years old, I thought it was losing Luis. I'd been in love so early in life at age 17 and it was real serious. The attraction had been gradual and the love just blossomed from friendship to a tender feeling. I even would have decided to stop with school and got married. But then, I considered my family. What would daddy say of it. I graduated valedictorian in highschool then get married! God, it would be unwise. I enrolled nursing at UPM, aspiring to become a doctor at a latter time in my life. But then when I reached my second year in college, a serious family financial strain hit us. I had to shift course just to finish my study, even forget my ambition. The nursing course would not enable me to work. That was the time when I ventured in the real world. I began working as a personal staff of our town mayor who had been a second father to me. That was 1999. It had been lonely living a life you did not dream of. But I thank God that I had experienced those things. I had learned a lot from those days when I lived not just like a normal carefree teener and kolehiyala. Somehow, new blessings came to replace it, and there are nothing to be sad about anymore. Of course the experience have given me several frustrations, but I just think that still, I am luckier than those who experience far more deeper grief and lonesomeness than I. I have accumulated friends in the process, few but real treasures. And until now, the experience influence what kind of people I spend time with.

Ann's Johari's Window

JOHARI ko, 20 people pa lang and it is not accurate if i make conclusions right now. am not yet interested in the result but i am interested in what respondents told about me.my sister for one observe i am introvert and complex. i think she's the one who knows me best of all respondents. for other, i would not seem to be that extreme and will just see me as someone quiet. but i would not like to be extreme. introvert behavior is intentional for my siblings to see. i am their ate. then, sandy and jonas, i did not spend much time with them but i am comfortable with them whenever i see them. they see my carefree side. my friend lhan whom i confided with my sad thoughts was being reasonable to say i am searching. i was, but then not anymore, then searching again? huhu. i will still wait till the survey is complete. gusto ko mga 10 or 30 people pa bago maging valid for me ang results.

Hey me -Ann

I've been wanting to have chat with ron and MJ and there was it! heheh ron made it to go to manila, what a brave man he is, MJ plays the keyboard so well, did not think she's a church keyboardist as consider her title viva hotbabe of caloocan.

Then the nomination, i made it through. i have given benj his due. poor guy, her lola passed away. i feel really sorry but i think it also gave his family relief knowing the pains of their old woman had ended. juts like what we feel when lola kika passed.

Where is charles? been wondering if he made it to the kapamilya deal or no deal. good luck bunso.

Benj blogs: Java Game Review #1: Dexter’s Laboratory: Security Alert!

Ok, here’s the new gimmick. hehe.

Dexter’s Laboratory: Security Alert! is part puzzle and part strategy. In this game, you play as the boy genius as you try to deploy bombs to find your way to the door that leads to the next level. There are many things that separate you from the exit point. In the earlier levels, you will encounter blocks, droids that could make you croak if they get near you (but don’t worry, they’re dumb!) and flying saucers (ditto). Later levels will feature cannons and Mandark (Dexter’s archrival) himself.

It’s a fun game but it’s my no means an easy game. It has the potential to drive a player nuts. Case in point, I havent finished this game yet. Do you think you can do better? Go download it here, link it up with your phone and give it a spin.

Size: 80kb

Java Game Review #2: Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

This. game. is. awesome.

I dont recall a mobile game that allowed a player the variability to use combo moves to dispose of opponents. You want to spin in the air ala whirling dervish? You can do that in this game. Running on walls? Stunning enemies and flipping them over to their death? No problem at all! The possibilities are limitless and the game rewards you for style points during combat.

As if it’s not enough, the game has two modes - an adventure mode wherein you go from level to level (much like the original game) swinging from chains, dodging spikes and killing off other scimitar-wielding warriors. It’s a long 16 level game, but the difficulty is engaging but at the same time not impossible to finish.

Aside from that, there is an arena mode that challenges you to finish 15 gruelling melee levels. All the levels feature a flat terrain that just throws everything at you. Your life bar doesnt recharge after every level and the only health potion in the game is at the seventh level. You don’t get to continue the game once you croak - you start from Level 1 again. It’s tough and borderline impossible! I’ve only made it to Level 10.

Try beating this game and tell me how much you like it.

Rex blogs: Do I look like the marrying type already?

As I walked home from school (my exam in ME 63 was cancelled due to suspension of classes),I noticed around 5 women with similar vests walking the streets, handing out flyers despite the rain. Obviously, this was another promo by the city goverment. I didn't care much about it because I was busy thinking how lucky I am my exam got cancelled and how I will spend my afternoon. Besides, I'm not a registered citizen of Quezon City anyway.


All of a sudden, one of the women handed me a flyer. The fact that she was walking on the opposite side of the street and she went out of her way to hand me the flyer proves that she really thought I might be interested on what the flyer offers, diba?

The flyer said:


Isang serbisyong pagmamahal handog ni
Congresswoman NANETTE CASTELO DAZA
17th FREE MASS CHURCH WEDDING

Mahal kong mamayan ng ika-apat na distrito:

Isang tunay na pagkalinga, pagmamahal at buong puso kong inihahandog para sa mamamayan ng ika-apat na distrito ang ika-17 na LIBRENG KASALANG BAYAN na gaganapin sa Sto Domingo Parish, Quezon Avenue, Quezon City sa darating na November 4, 2006...

Judging from the pictures on my flickr badge on my left side panel, do I look like someone who would be interested on mass church weddings?! Grabe naman, alam kong nagmukha akong matanda sa dami ng pimples ko ngayon, pero mukha na ba akong mag-aasawa? Haha! Besides, no offense to couples who avail of these, but aren't these mass church weddings for those who are not so financially capable of having a wedding of their own and for those unwed couples who've been living together for years? Mukha ba akong may ka-live-in at ayaw magpakasal kasi namamahalan ako sa pagpapakasal? Haha! Alam kong haggard-looking ako kanina dahil sa puyat, pero hindi naman ako dugyutin, noh! Ni wala nga akong gelpren eh!

If it were a FREE LOVERS service, I would've went straight to the Quezon City Hall, haha! At least diba, free na, wala nang ligawan pa, kami na agad! =p

May bagyo pala today -Rex

Right now, im having a chat conference with Ann, Jamila, Gee, Ron, BBK, Paolo right now. riot! haha!at ginagawan pa ako ng loveteam. sheesh, haha! para namang PBBTE ito..

May bagyo pala today, so classes were suspended in UP. Therefore, my thermodynamics exam scheduled at 4pm was cancelled, haha! Mabuti na lang, kasi hindi ako masyado handa. May Acquaintance Party kasi kami sa org kagabi, at nag-Starbucks pa kami.. ehe..

DAY THIRTY-EIGHT
Gee blogs: I need ENERVA!

I just got home... I'm sooo tired... I'm currently drinking coffee... errr... I was physically wet kaninang papa-uwi eventhough may umbrella ako ang jacket...

Well, may nagprotest na naman kanina... I actually don't know yung reason (kasi naman di ko marinig yung sinisigaw nila... nasa 3rd floor kaya ako ng lib. nun, and ang layo ng pagkakatanaw ko... haha!). But I think it's all about the tuition fee thing again and of course, about our DAMN president... Medyo nakaka-sad nga lang kasi, although mahaba naman ung line nila, they're still few... They're only few concerned U.P. students that are courageously showing what they think and what they really feel. And errr... ang kapal ng mukha kong nagsusulat ng ganito gayong isa ako sa mga estudyanteng may opinion pero hindi nagsasalita at kumikilos. NAKAKAHIYA NAMAN!

Eneiweiz, this isn't a bad day naman. i actually liked our topic in HUM1 (interpreting poetries). And siyempre, my TAMBAY SESSIONS... haha... kahit na sleepy ako kanina... This was me 10 minutes ago:

La lng! hahaha...

Can't hide it! PAGOD TALAGA AKO! HAHA!

Rex blogs: Pasta #51

Yesterday was a milestone in my life. Haha! It’s because I cooked spaghetti sauce for my organization’s Acquaintance Party this evening.

So what’s the big fuss? After all, I am 21 years old. I'm supposed to be old enough to know how to cook. Plus, I'm a Kapampangan, I'm supposed to be good at cooking.

Ironically, I'm already 21 and I've just started learning how to decently cook rice. And even if my blood containes genes famous for its propensity to expert cooking, sometimes, I even burn my cheesedogs, haha!

It’s not the first time I’ll cook spaghetti for Aguman. I already did it at our swimming party last summer. But then, I cooked at home and with MUCH help from my sister. Sus, kung tutuusin nga, halus siya na nagluto, haha! But even if she obliged even the stirring chores, I observed fervently, hoping that the next time, I can do it myself. Well, the chance came today.

My orgmates were all praises for the spaghetti sauce I semi-cooked last May that they requested another serving for our Acquaintance Party. But this time is different, I would have to cook it myself, here at Quezon City.

So before I left home (Pampanga) yesterday, I asked my sister to list the ingredients and the procedure. I thought to myself, it should be no problem. All I have to do is follow the instructions by the letter. I will be fine. (Mind you this confident person I'm talking about is such an amateur that his cooking experience only include hotcakes, hotdogs, cheesedogs, nuggets, sunny-side-up fried eggs).

After my classes, I excitedly went to SM North EDSA to buy the ingredients. In my mind, I was elatedly thinking of what extra stuff I’d put in my spaghetti sauce in order to make it more special.

So what happened? Well, I followed the instructions by the letter. Ultimo asin, kinutsara ko pa talaga, para lang masigurado na 1 kutsara lang ang malagay ko, haha! Trouble was simmering (haha! literally!) when I noticed that my sauce is quite pale and it doesn’t seem to be thick enough. Good thing Porshe, an HRIM junior, was there to offer some insights for a solution, haha! Dinagdagan namin ng tomato sauce and we added cornstarch. Eventually, we were able to remedy the consistency of our sauce. We asked the other housemate to taste it and we got good initial reviews, haha!

Since it had a lot of personal ingredients, I'm not sure if I can still say that my sauce is Italian style, sweet style or garlic & onion in flavor. So, Porshe and I decided to name our sauce Pasta #51. Haha! After the house number of their apartment, where I cooked the sauce.

Fingers crossed until dinntertime today, when we will serve the spaghetti and let the whole Aguman and all other Kapampangans in UP Diliman try our humble masterpiece, haha!

Babalitaan ko kayo kung anong mangyayari. Sana naman, wala kaming isusugod sa hospital after, haha! =p

It's been boring -Benj

Seriously, when one makes a mistake, one must owe up to it and not have unbelievably ridiculous claims of bravado. Stupidity is stupidity.

Dying for your country is BRAVERY.

Larios was a 12 to 1 underdog in the Pacquaio match and you call betting for him BRAVERY?!

Jeez.

This is bull nuts.

excuses. excuses.

The logic defies all intellectual explanation and the excuse is utterly ridiculous.

Everybody thinks picking Larios was idiotic. Nobody buys your BRAVERY excuse. Jeez.

Ridiculous.

Btw, the word SH!T was edited to NUTS by the messageboard. haha. weird. BS

I hope this makes the game turn for a more exciting run. it's been boring. and that has been the prevalent opinion of almost everyone in the game.

If i get evicted next, so be it. at least im not BS-ing when I mess up. Jeez. Excuses.

Unhappiest Moment of My Life

Jamilla: There are two things I remembered I could call Unhappiest moment of my life.... the first unhappiest moment i remembered was when my father haven't came for my highschool graduation due to my step brother's recital same time as my graduation, I felt bad that day thinking this is a special day in my life as a part of a growing lady. the second unhappiest moment i remembered was i heard that my grandfather (father side) had mysteriously disappeared and haven't found his body, I should have told my grandfather that I love him very much, after hearing that my grandfather is missing, I can't help myself but to cry....

^^ common logic -Rex

^^ common logic --> exactly! =) kung ayaw natin maging obvious kung kanino yung mga ballots, di na dapat sinama yung part na iniinvoke nila ang immunity sa ballots summary. at least, hindi namin alam kung alin yung ballot nung nagpa-immune.

but then again, i guess okay lang sa iyo, and just like you've said, it's part of the game, so no problem..

DAY THIRTY-SEVEN
Jamilla blogs: Last Weekend....

Friday morning, About 7:30 im off to my grandmother's house in B.F. Homes in Paranaque. Upon Arriving there, I met up with my balikbayan aunt and her family. Afterwards, My dad tagged me along to the house of my grandmother's friend. After that, we gone by U.P. Diliman to drop off my cousin with my uncle and his son. After going to U.P. Diliman, we drove to Greenhills to do some shopping, we split up after lunch, rested for a while then took off again to a restaurant in alabang for dinner, after we had dinner, we, the teen adults were planning to go clubbing, so we did, we went back home about two in the morning the next day. the purposes of our clubbing first is to bless our younger cousin how to drink cocktails and second, send off for our balikbayan cousins whose leaving for the states the next day and lastly, almost all of us cousins are together in one night.

I had a great time spending with them.... I hope that weekend wouldn't end...

Benj blogs: So wrong, yet so right


This is one of the many Philippine flag lanterns that adorned the cramped and derelict streets of the slums of Pasay. The title says it all.

Ron blogs: That was the "Day"

It was a long week cleaning my fuss out in my former company. And then there comes the day of bidding Baguio goodbye! At first, it wasn't a facile "Farewell".. I hate to say that when in fact I love Baguio a lot! See how stupid I was to leave just like that! Oh puhhlleazzee..don't start again..

Aight, let me take you back to that day. It was a Sunday. Gloomy , tranquil and cold it was! Well it had been pouring rain for 5 days in Baguio but that day was just different. It was as if a blueprint was made for my unwanted trip down to Pangasinan. So I packed all my stuffs up,got a cab and drove my way into this place called "Pines Garage(terminal of public utility vans in Baguio)". So I took a van en route Pangasinan.. Oh well...we strode the road that others love but I hate a lot..Kennon Road! Don't be squeamish or something but I get really dizzy with the zigzag road! Well I just got dizzy and nothing else(did I puke? Nahhh)... My feeling of discomfort was at its highest point when I felt like I need to pee. Guess what, vans do not have any stopover so you need to keep the hell out of you until you reach your destination. Harhar! Damn that trip wasn't really my cup of tea!

And finally when I set my feet back in my hometown, it wasn't as bad as I expected! I was under the impression that being at a cool place for a long time, I would have a hard time conforming to the typical weather of the lowlands(tropical you know?). Well that didn't happen. No sensation of dizziness whatsoever! At that time, I had an overzealous feeling that this is the start of new trials and challenges in my life. Well it really is because tomorrow...I will go to Manila to start something new! Yikes!

Benj blogs: Meet Jun-Jun


My family decided to take this poor orphan in for a couple of months until the social workers find a nice loving home for him. You gotta admit, ang cute nya no?

I dont have rants this week -Rex

Hmm, i dont have rants this week. on second thought, i would rant about how im not online on a regular basis on week days! geesh..

As for Cathe, honestly, I'm not sad that she was evicted, but I'm not happy either. So that puts me in Switzerland, huh? hehe.

Rex to BBK: Do you really have to post our ballots in their entirety? wala lang, it takes just common logic to figure out who voted who on some of the ballots (for this week's case, yung mga immune). parang nawalan ng saysay yung codename. BBK, sana hindi mo na lang linagay yung part na sinasabi sa ballot na gusto nila maging immune.

UNLESS, gusto mo talagang pa-obvious ang mga ballots para magka-issue, whether good or bad. haha! =p

Im not really expecting to win this game -Rex

Woohoo ulit! im still in the game! im not really expecting to win this game, pero relieving din pala ang feeling knowing na walang nagvote against me. someone even saved me ( but i know who she is, haha! salamat sa iyo.. )

Charles blogs: Monthly Blog Stats (June 2006)

Nakalimutan ko ilagay yung blog stat ko last July 1, at least its here! So, alam ko konti lang ang pumupunta sa blog ko, actuall nagulat nga ako na may pumupunta pala! hehehe… Hindi ko alam kung ano yung naging dahilan ng 69 people to visit my blog last June 28, but hey, at least, may pumunta…

This month,my blog started with 8 hits, peeked at 63 hits and finished with 6 hits,my average hits is at 36.9 hits, and after the peek, it slowed down, at least on a minimal decreasing mode, and not a big dropped!

So what’s the lesson? I dont know, still to learn why the 28th of June made 63 hits! And made it on a slowing motion!

Hehehe… Need to update always! Ciao!

Well, im just wondering -Jamilla

Here's my thoughts about the nomination..... well, im just wondering who is marushka, and why he / she nominated me to be evicted. I wish to chat with of my fellow virtual housemates. I think c marushka is one of the virtual housemate na hindi ko pa na ka chat....

I wish and hope hindi pa ako yung ma evict....

Super flattered nmn po ako nun! -Gee

Hmmm... what can I say? I actually felt that CATHE will be the 2nd evictee. Ewan ko, basta na sense ko lang! hehe . Well, BYE sis! Sayang, we didn't had the chance to chat... ayaw mo nmn kasi eh... hehe...

And for Macky, I can't believe that some still voted him out eventhough may -10 points na siya... And marami din ang nag-save sa kanya...

Kashen: Nice sis! I'm glad you're still in the game...

Benj: ei, why did you use your immunity? Wala lng, I'm just wondering.

Emjheiy: Hehe,,, grabe!!! Pang-apat na bese ko nang nakikita yung GEENELLE ROCKS sa mga messages mo. hehe...Kakatuwa ka naman sis... Miss you ulit! Kelan ka ba nagoonline? Para ma-tiyempuhan na kita... hehehe

To my other co VH na hindi ko pa nakakausap, Ann-Jam-Macky and Ron hope to talk to you soon.

Pls do add me in ym, bezchum_08!

Gee, wala lang.. GEENELLE ROCKS hahahaha Love You sis!

Ann blogs: Friends

I have always give a thick bordeline line between friends and acquaintance. It's because whatever we want to do with those words, they are completely different. A person's definition of a friend defines his/her character. Or it's the other way around. People's definition of a friend determines how many people he or she is with most of the time, and what degree of relationship she has with people. Some people are comfortable with friends who are a multitude, a barkada whom he could always hang out with; some are enjoying the company of few people, in some instance a single "bestfriend"; some are comfortable with the friendship that blood brothers and sisters, or blood relatives give. I have been in these moments, but then I realize that as we get older, we will tend to search for few persons who will best give us the contentment of their friendship. When I was in highschool, I used to be groupee. Having been "sikat" as a highschool teener, I really had to interact with not so few people and mingled with them. It was such a good experience because I had had so many friends and acquantance. But then as time passed by, only few of these friends and acquaintance had have contact with me, and eventually the forming relationship had been broken. After so many years, what remained are my real friends. Some managed to have continuous contact, some we had not communicated for a while but then the lines open and we meet again. I think real friendship can be best define as something that "manage to stand the test of time". Friends may not be there with you in your most trying times but then when you meet again you never feel any stranger in them, and will just say "Siya ba, bakit magbabago yun?." It sounds funny but I guess even if your friends change without your knowing, you'll just see them as someone unchanged who used to be the same person you have known before when you meet again. It just means to say that there's no perfect friendship as there is no perfect relationship. Fights and misunderstandings are there and if you manage to stand your friend's imperfections through time, then you can consider yourself a real friend.

Rex blogs: Superman sighting! =p

While I liked the latest movie, I'm no big Superman fan. But I'm amazed at how Brandon Routh beat the likes of Josh Hartnett and Jake Gylenhaal for the super role. He's practically amateur, right? Naku, pasalamat siya, gwapo siya! Because I don't think the super role really needed super acting talent, right? But I truly agree, he was perfect for the role. I guess it was meant for him.

So when I read somewhere that Brandon Routh was in the music video of Christina Aguilera's What A Girl Wants, I immediately checked the video on youtube. And I think I found him.

Sorry for the quality of the video, hehe. Kamukha naman niya, diba? He was on screen for about 1-2 seconds. Check it out for yourself. I'm convinced it's him because he flashed the same smile from the movie (and on the posters) on the said music video.

So there, wala lang. Share... Haha! =p

Rex blogs: Previously on (insert TV Series title here)...

As I have probably mentioned many times before, ever since I was in college, my weekday TV routine died. Kasi wala akong TV sa Quezon City.

At my first boarding house back in freshman year, the TV only had 4 channels -- ABS-CBN 2, GMA 7, RPN 9 & IBC 13. Even so, I had to fight for airtime from around 10 other senior tenants! Haha! Ano naman laban ko diba, eh hamak na probinsyanong freshie lamang ako, hehe. When I moved to my orgmates' apartment (where I still live these days) 1.5 years later, there was no TV at all. In short, I really had to say goodbye to my regular daily TV viewing habits. Weekends na lang talaga ako nakakapanood.

But having said that, that did not prevent me and my housemates from watching famous TV series in the US. Around 4 years ago, nauuso na yung pag-download ng mga TV episodes.

SMALLVILLE
I think I've mentioned before that I'm a fan. One afternoon, all my housemates were excitedly watching it, so I joined them out of curiosity. And the rest is history. I've seen all episodes from Season 1 to Season 5 -- through downloads and borrowing of CDs from friends and/or classmates.

Some personal opinions: Lois Lane and Chloe Sullivan are my favorite characters for their sarcastic wit, haha! I'm not into Lana Lang anymore, particularly since Season 4, I've grown tired of her being the eternal damsel in distress. And if only every parent in the world is as principled as Jonathan and Martha Kent, this planet would be a better place, sobra!

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES

Same thing, I've mentioned before that I'm a DH addict, so I won't elaborate much. For some quotes, visit my previous posts: 1 2.

Some personal opinions: I'm not a housewife (hello..), but I have to choose my favorite character, it would have to be Lynette. I could relate to her strong sense of right and wrong. Even if sometimes, she could already be rude, she wouldn't stop until she gets her points accross. That is so me, haha! Nga pala, kras ko si Gabrielle Solis! Haha! I really love the way she pronounced Aurora in Season 2 Episode 8 -- very sexy!

GREY'S ANATOMY

Kuya Argel discovered this series almost a year before it arrived in Phillipines (whether free TV or Cable TV). So practically almost nobody else was talkin about it, hehe. Funny how he was compelled to download it. Kuya Argel thought it was a sexy series because its first scene featured its lead couple naked in the living room, haha! Akala niya puro bold ang show, tapos in the end medical series pala siya, haha! We still loved it anyway. It is also very well written -- it has the right amount of humor, sarcasm and drama. Plus, it's very inspiring because it features lead characters who help people on a daily basis.

First season only had 9 episodes because it was only a mid-season replacement in US TV. At ngayon, katatapos lang yata ng full-length Season 2 nito. And I even read a while ago in the newspaper that its lead the Emmy nominations.

I've only watched up Episode 2 Season 2 because I'm still downloading the other episodes. Thanks to Smart Bro, I can download the episodes myself and I wouldn't have to rely on underground trade of pirated goods to get my AVI fix of this TV series.

Some personal opinions: Don't we just love complicated love stories like Meredith and Dr. McDreamy's? Haha! Dito naman, ang kras ko si Izzy (syempre siya lang naman ang isa pang maganda, aside from Renee look-alike Meredith! Ala ngan namang si Cristina Yang). And I could relate to George's kung-ako-ba-siya-mamamahalin-mo drama, wahaha!

PRISON BREAK

Another EEE classmate, Jeric, introduced me to this series last February. I was borrowing something else from him when he asked if I've heard of Prison Break. He said it was good and coincidentally, he was bringing his copy of the first episode. So I agreed to give it a try. I wasn't addicted on the first episode unlike on Desperate Housewives, but I sure hell was intrigued. I couldn't imagine how Michael Scoffield and his brother escape a high-security facility like Fox River State Penitentiary. So around a 2 weeks later, Jeric gave me a copy of the first 13 episodes. Haha! Kaya ayun, na-addict din ako eventually. I've actually just finished the whole Season 1 just this Friday.

Some personal opinions: Kahit addict ako nito, nakaka-stress talaga siya panoorin! Sobra! The series is captivating not because of its humor or romantic angle. Suspense kung suspense talaga! It's like you'll never get enough of frustration, setback, depression and injustice. And of course -- intrigue. Despite the stress it brings, curiosity will get the best of you, you'd still watch the series. Dito naman, ansarap iuwi sa Mama ko si Dr Tancredi! Haha! Kahit na medyo duling ang mga mata niya, my heart really goes out to her.

All four TV series will resume airing on either September or October. Antagal pa! Haha! Naiinip na ako. So far, Grey's Anatomy pa lang ang hindi ko natatapos, kasi nga dinadownload ko pa. I don't know if i can still consider these shows as part of my "TV viewing routine", kasi kahit TV shows sila, hindi ko naman sila sa TV napapanood! Haha! Anyway, my next targets are Lost and the Ghost Whisperer. Antagal ko nang naghahanap ng source for Lost!
