Hay

I just got back from Diliman. Thank God Kuya Knong was not mega, super lang, mad at me. Muntik ko ng mapatay 'yung mga anak kong seaweeds. I saw them this afternoon, almost lifeless na. As in puro bula na and the medium was so dirty (mukhang sabaw na ng nilaga 'yung PES medium). So what did I do the whole afternoon? I tried to revive our specimens. Oh merde! Thank goodness they're still alive!

Kaya ngayon, sobrang careful na ako. Araw-araw na ang thesis at dapat once a week napapalitan ko na ang medium. Siguro kung ako yung seaweed, malamang matagal na akong sumuko sa dumi ng paligid ko. Hay.

So tomorrow (Friday), instead of coming to the batch overnight, itutuloy ko ang paglilinis ng seaweed. Preciousssssss! Hahaha. Ok na rin yun, I kinda like what I'm doing there dahil kahit paano I'm preoccupied, sabi ko nga dati, hindi stagnant. Plus, I'm counting the days for our diving trip, not in Calatagan.... But in BOLINAO! Yup! Sa Bolinao na kami hahanap ng cultures! Yay! BOLINAO = Cultures + BEACH!

Damnit. Sana next week na yun. :))

===========================================

I want to learn how to surf. I'm planning to go to Surigao next year (summer) to catch some serious waves! Kaso paano naman ako matututo? Saan ako magppractice? Sa baha ng Padre Faura? Pwede..... Why not?! Hehe. Andami ko talagang gustong gawin! I want to know how to drive a go-kart, play guitar, photography! Dami talaga! Hay. Sana magawa ko silang lahat someday! :))

===========================================

I don't want to be in a commitment pala right now. I don't know, I just realize this: I enjoy being single! Plus the fact that marami nga akong gustong gawin, baka pag may labi dabi na ako di ko na sila magawa! (malay mo, di pareho yung likes namin) Hayy.... :) If ever I want to be in a relationship, gusto ko friends muna, as in parang bestfriends kung pwede. Hindi naman ito classified ads at hindi naman ako naghahanap ngayon, pero if ever, ito talaga yung mga gusto ko: hindi pretty boy (paiiyakin lang ako eh), may itsura at malinis, may-kaya hindi mayaman (at lalong hindi mayabang), ok yung family (drunkards, sugarols, at mga ex-hippies are no-no), saka syempre dapat mahal ako (ano ba yun, syempre, duuuhhhh?!). Iyon, actually simple lang naman yung trip ko. Ala sa mga extremes, kasi yung mga guapo pang-crush lang, ang sobrang bait hindi ubra sa ka-weirdohan ko, at ang mga player ay walang puwang sa puso ko. Aprub! Hehe.. Saka sa susunod, gusto ko yun na. I want everything to go smoothly as possible. Ayoko ng iiyak ako ng sobra. Ayoko na ng lolokohin ako. Gusto ko ako yung number #1. May tinatamaan ba? Bato-bato sa langit, ang tamaan.... well... no comment! Hahaha! Just kidding. :)

===========================================

O iyon muna ulit. I'm kinda sleepy na. Punta pa ako ng MSI tomorrow. :) Nyt nyt mah readers. :)

Ingat sa mga batchmates ko! I'm sorry I can't come! :) Baka bumula na naman ang seaweeds namin. :)

Damn it...

I want to go to our batch outing. Hay. Kaya sunud-sunod ang punyemas na entry dito. Labis akong nalulungkot dahil sa biernes... imbes na nagbabad ako sa jacuzzi eh nakababad ako sa trabaho. Huhuhuhuhuhuh. Sana tapos na lang yung thesis ko. Wahhhhh...... Waaaaaaaaa. Tapos... Waaaaaaaaa.. Badtrip. Badtrrrrrrrriiiiiiiip! :c

Pahabol

OMG. Inggit ako sa mga sasama sa batch overnight. Damn it. Kung may kikidnap sa akin, pramis. Sasama talaga ako.

OMG

I'm really enjoying listening to Mariah. Holy Crap. What's happenin' to me?

Sembreak

Hmm. I came back from a long hiatus. Hay. So where do I begin?

=========================================

First off, I'm planning to change this lay-out. I'll probably start a new one during my free time. I found a nice lay-out to edit actually, but alas, my ever-demanding course forbids me to do so. Oh well, just wait for the freakin' updates, a miracle might happen you know.

=========================================

Yesterday on my spare time, I watched "If Only" on my brother's pc. If you're wondering why I watched that on pc and not on the VCR like some sensible person would do, well the answer is that I bought a stinkin' pirated copy of the movie and it's not compatible with our "original" VCR. It just skips when I play it there, but lo and behold when I tried it on my brother's pc, it worked! Yay! Eureka! Wohoo! (I really didn't scream for joy because it would be too darn silly.)

So I watched it. And you know what did I learn?

Never ever watch romantic movies when you have a non-existent lovelife or if your heart is recently crushed to bits by some dumb jerk. In my case, I fall on the first option. Boy oh boy, I cried so hard that my brother laughed hard (you see, our emotional statuses are very inversely proportional or ABI = HAPPY, BROTHER = SAD, ABI = SAD, BROTHER = HAPPY, we are twisted people with hippie parents). Seriously, I liked that movie, even if there are some cheesy lines (if you're an anti-romance, you'd probably puke while hearing those lines).

Honestly, I don't like to write the summary/plot, just type: "If + only + Jennifer + Love + Hewitt" on Google and probably you'll see a webpage solely devoted on giving much information about the movie.

Although I kinda predicted what was gonna happen in the end, I still liked the movie. It left me wishing that somebody out there would find me and love me like there's no tomorrow. Hay. It's a sad movie actually but you'll learn a lot of things about what love means. Hay. Just Love Her. Damn. I so want a boyfriend right now. Hahaha. Just kidding.

=========================================

So there. I really want to watch "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" but i'm too broke. Anyone who'd be willing to GIVE me some money? Ha! Like somebody here is stupid to do that. :) Hmm.. I'd just probably wait for its DVD copy in Quiapo. Arrrrrr! (Oh no! I sound like a pirate! Shiver Me Timber! Arrrr!)

=========================================

I'll probably be starting to work on my thesis tomorrow. Medyo na-iin-in pa ako sa kama ko eh (Ano ako kanin?!) Hehe. To all mah batchmates out there: Mga pare! Ala akong pera for the batch overnight kina Stephie! Saka lagot-lagot na ako sa MSI dahil may field trip ata kami sa Friday! Enjoy mga dude!

=========================================

Oh well. I'm out. Peace everybody. I love you all (No I don't mean I do LOVE you ALL. Mamaya may mag-text sa akin ng: I love you too! Pakasal na tayo. --> This would be very very freaky.)

Dumb idea...

Je sens profondément la défectuosité. Je suis dans un état de confusion, et la solitude que je ne devrais pas lui avoir envoyé un message. C'était un mouvement faux. Très mal. Je faisais la semaine dernière correcte. Je pouvais vivre sans penser à lui. Et maintenant... Je suis de nouveau à la place une. Les émotions versent en arrière comme la pluie. Comme.... Le goût déchire le hangar de I une fois pour lui. Je n'aime pas où je suis. Je n'aime pas ce que me sens je. Enfer... Je ne veux me sentir plus. Je ne veux pas penser à lui le ne'more. Je ne peux pas laisser aller si tout me rappelle lui. Je vraiment AM en douleur. Je veux juste que les choses disparaissent pendant qu'elles étaient. Mais comment... ? Comment peut ma vie être normale encore quand l'ombre de mon passé me hante toujours. Après la signalisation de cette entrée, je coudrai quelque chose. Ne me demandez pas pourquoi.

Debauchery

je ne suis pas dans l'humeur pour signaler quelque chose ici, cependant, je suis dans l'humeur pour danser !
Roches de débauche !

Pardonnez-moi pour écrire ce poteau en français, je se sentent juste pour employer la langue.
Les personnes pareilles s'inquiéteraient si j'écrivais quelque chose ici !
Grand haha pour elles parce qu'elles ne comprendront pas un mot j'a indiqué ici.

A laid-back Sunday

I just got back from Makati. As usual, I accompanied my mom to get my dadi's padala in Intercon. While waiting, I saw alot of foreigners in the hotel lobby. Most of them are with... yup. Filipinas. Quite obvious yung mga couple na ganun dahil usually Americans (big-bellied, mid-40s, medyo bald) are paired off with petite Filipinas na di mo alam kung saang 80's party pupunta (kulang na lang eh fishnet stockings at qualified na sila sa isang psychedelic party).

Actually, I felt bad for them. Dahil karamihan sa kanila, sumasama lang just for money and in some cases, para makaalis dito sa Pinas. Although I shouldn't generalize dahil I've fallen with a semi-foreigner na din not so-long-ago (isingit ba ang lovelife?). Pero it seems yung era ng Clark girls are back again. Pero what to do? With our current situation? Sino dito ang may ayaw na yumaman? Sa hirap ng buhay ngayon, kelangan na nilang kumapit sa patalim para lang gumaan ang buhay nila.

Badtrip. If those politicians focused more on how to resolve our economic crisis rather than fight in Congress di sana di tayo naghihirap. Hirap sa kanila naisasantabi yung mga needs ng mga tao para lang mang-condemn e. I believe in due process sa law pero bakit kailangan lahat masangkot sa political crisis? Labu-labu na ang pinas. Hay. Pati tuloy ang kababaihan naiisacrifice na nila yung kaligayahan nila para lang gumaan yung buhay. Crap talaga ang political-system dito. As in major crap.

==============================

Before my BP reach 150/100, i'm just gonna change the topic. Hay. So I went to Makati. Blah-blah about the Americans and fishnet.... We went to Glorietta (favorite place ko na!) to get my Laking National card sa NBS. Ayun. Ang tanga ko kasi, sa Glorietta pa ako nag-sign up for that stoopeed card. Nakuha ko naman siya tas yung mom ko saw a cookbook, eh habang nibabasa nya yung cookbook nakita ko yung Twisted 7 by Jessica Zafra. Eh I was craving for a good book para nababasa ko sa byahe punta sa Diliman. Ayun, so I ended up buying the book. Kaso, binasa ko agad! Badtrip! Haha. Kaka-engross siya basahin. Fun yung book niya. I'm in page 71 na ata. 1st time kong makabasa ng Twisted so di ko papahiram yung book. Sorry sa mga nagbabalak manghiram. Akin lang si Jessica! Uh-oh, I sounded like an obssessed lesbo.

==============================

Another lighter side of my life, while I was in Intercon, na-wiwi ako. So syempre, natural instincts, punta ako sa CR. My mom didn't come with me kasi wala nga namang magbabantay sa groceries. Ayun, when I opened the door ng cr, may lalaki! Sabi: "Ma'am sa kabila po yung girls." Shit. Shit raised to infinity.

Talk about being scarred for life. Come to think of it, may isusulat na ako sa Most Embarassing Moment sa mga slumbook. "I accidentally went inside the Men's CR." (in it's neatness and boldest penmanship pa dapat...!)

Haha. I'm still lucky because I didn't see a man pee. Ha! I still got virgin eyes. Hahahahahahaha.

==============================

Anyway, I still need to do some things pa.

Nyt y'all. :)

Post-script: Hi Boyet! :) (Hmm... Sino si Boyet? Hahaha)

Rain..

Enter the star of the movie

(Cue music: Mr. Lonely)

I walked in the rain a while ago.
I didn't like it.
I don't have enough money for a tricycle ride.

I wanted to cry.
Every flooded street I came across, my tears welled-up.
I just controlled myself so I can go home.

My pants were soaking wet and my feet were drenched.
As soon as I got home, I changed my clothes.
While changing 'em, I cried inside the wash room.

I cried because of sadness and loneliness.
I'm full of that.
Tao lang ako.
I'm really hurt.
=(

Rain


Life goes on...

A year ago, I wrote an entry about having this "feeling" with this guy. At that time, I was happy telling everybody about him, how great he was, the things I loved about him.
A year after, we decided to part our ways.

I feel no remorse or guilt inside my heart.
I'm all cried out na that's why.
I've shed all my emotions and i'm feeling numb.
Numb as ever....

Call it "not-meant-to-be."
But that's how life works.
You meet someone, if God forbids, you end up together.
If not, you end up like us.

Hei.
If you're reading this.
Just don't mind me.
I'm just telling how I feel.

You don't need to feel bad for me.

Life goes on...

Funny no?

Models: Jeremy and Rachel

Paranoid

I didn't want to go to school this morning because I want to sleep all day. I want to mope all day and just pig-out. But due to certain circumstances, like I need to submit my research to my groupmates and I need to attend my classes (yes, even if it's just STS). I arrived there by 9:20ish already and I already missed Jeff's undergrad sem. Booo for me. I wanted to go there to boost his morale. Jeff, if you're reading this, sorry! :(

By 10 am I went to my classroom in STS. When I got there, there was nobody inside and the room was locked. I thought that it was a sign so I went to our school's cafeteria and saw Jessa and Abi Cis there. I decided to cut classes because I wasn't really "in the mood" anyway. So there. A few minutes later, I saw a crowd of people in front of the RH steps. I saw some of my classmates and batchmates there, so I got curious. I waited for them to come and tell me why there's a commotion. I don't recall who told me but I learned that there was a bomb threat on our school. Ah wait. I know who told me. It was Joe who told us that shocking (?) news. I told him: "Ay naku, ikaw ata ang maghuhubad kaya lahat ng tao nagtago!"

I didn't take that bomb threat very seriously because in 4 years of stay in UP Manila, a bomb threat was not new to me. This was the 3rd time for me actually. The first time was very dramatic since I was just a first year student. I really didn't know that it was a bomb threat 'yung second time ko. All I knew was na-suspend yung classes namin tas we ended up in G-box. Tas itong third ko nga ngayon. Ha. Ayaw ko na ngang umalis ng school. I even wanted to see flying corpse and disembodied figures crashing sa CAS eh. Ha. Naging "no-biggie" situation na sa akin 'yung bomb threat sa CAS.

Paano ba naman. Eh yung mga bomb threat eh mga prank phone calls lang sa DPSM. Some crazy student will call their phone and scare them all. His reason? Ayaw lang nyang mag-exam. Ha! Urban legend yun actually dahil wala namang na-report kung sino yung prank caller at kung na-apprehend ba siya or anything. Ganun ang UPM. Pinamumugaran ng mga weirdong estudyante. Kasama na ako dun na hindi na natitinag sa mga bomb threat.

There were media people who went sa UPM para kuhanan ang mga weirdong estudyante. Nakita pa ata ako dun eh. Hay. Life.

Tradition

Yesterday was my bestfriend's birthday. I went there by 7 and gave her an oh-crap birthday gift. I burned her a copy of MYMP's album, how bad can I get? Well first, I thought twice of going there (but of good reasons) and my crappy gift. Compared to what her boyfriend gave her, hmm, it was a pair of FIla white rubber shoes! Crap. I didn't even wrote a letter to her or something. I'm feeling really bad so I'm thinking of doing good or something like that to make-up for my crappy and shitty behavior that day.

Today is my brother's birthday. What's new? Nothing. We just ate something special. Nothing festive. Well, xcept for the fact that I went to school wearing my almost-micro-mini skirt. Damn it. A lot of people gave hell different reactions when they saw me.

Pat Sumi told me: Mahal kita! (He followed that line with: bilang kaibigan! after Dhess said: "Busdie!"). Oh and he also said: Magkano ka? Nice..... I can pass for an entertainer.
April commented also. I juz forgot what she told me.
Carol let out a yelp. And told me: "Ikaw ba talaga yan?" Haha. Thanks. It's my alien twin, Carol. Please bear.
Reiz commented: Dapat nag-sleeveless ka na din. Waw. Note to thy self.
Judith commented: I like your skirt! Haha. Judith, you don't know what I did just to have this skirt.
Ron commented: Ate gusto mo ng survey? *Survey was about contraceptives.
EJ commented: Ang cute cute mo! Damn.
Vivian commented: Are you in love? Ha! No comment.

Take note, skirt pa lang yun. Wahahahaha. (Evilish laugh)

I won't wear that evil skirt in school. I'm not quite ready yet. Hahahahaha. Yah right. Lies!

Lyrics

Crying Like a Church on Monday
New Radicals

I was dancing
With your shadow
Slow down memories hallI said, wait. have I been seduced and forgotten?
You said, baby, havent we all!
Now I dont like crying
Because it only gets me wet
But I cant help failing
To remember to forget you
And I know its gonna be a long time
And Im crying like a church on monday
Praying for these feelings to go away
So do me a favor baby
Put down your new god
And love me like sunday again
I was hiding in your bedroom
When I saw him come inside
I cant live in his shadow
Is that where Im dancing untill I die
Now I dont light candles
Because they make me see the light
That I cant help failing
To remember to forget you
And I know its gonna be a long time
And Im crying like a church on monday
Praying for these feelings to go away
So do me a favor baby
Put down your new god
And love me like sunday again

=============================

Am I gonna be forever a nobody in yer life? Am I gonna wait for you? For how long? So many questions....
But hei. I'm still here. Just a friend....

Yifee

On my way home, I thought of posting a very serious entry here. But what I saw along the way made me changed my mind.

Paglalakbay ng Isang Baliw

Unang Scenario: Ang epal na kunduktor

Pauwi na ako galing Diliman. As usual, haggard na haggard na ako at mukha na talaga akong adik sa sobrang pagod. As usual, ang buhok ko ay mukha na namang before shot ng Rejoice commercial. So ayun, nagbayad ako sa kunduktor: "Ma, Baclaran po, estujante." Aba. Yun lang ang sinabi ko ang dami ng sinagot niya sa akin! Kesyo asan daw ba ang ID ko, estudyante daw ba talaga ako o ewan. Hindi na lang ako nagsalita, pero kinuha ko ang UP ID ko sa bulsa. Pinamukha ko sa kanya. Wala akong sinabi pero ang lakas ng dating. "O, eto na ang ID na hinahanap mo. Ano pa gusto mong prueba? Itong dala kong mga hand-outs? Puwede na ba?"

Badtrip.

Pangalawang Scenario: Bombay, India

Unfortunately, hindi po ako marunong mag-teleport. Pero sa eksenang ito, feeling ko napunta ang katawan at kaluluwa ko sa Bombay, India. Ganito ang nangyari:

Ma-traffic na bago dumating ng Ayala. Andaming sasakyan na papauwi na. Yung sinasakyan kong bus eh medyo puno na rin kaya inaasahan kong pagdtaing sa may Ayala eh dederecho na yung bus. Pero mali ako. Maling-mali. Hindi nga tumabi yung bus pero sumambulat ang santambak na tao dun sa may sakayan sa Makati. Siguro kung terrorista ako siguradong 'pag hinulugan ko ng bomba yung area na yun, pihadong marami silang nalagas. Ewan ko ba, ni hindi naman Biyernes noong araw na yun, pero sobrang kapal ng tao. Pero di pa yun eh. Yung kapal ng tao na yun eh nag-aabang pala ng bus papuntang Baclaran. Wait. Rewiiind! Papunta yung bus ko sa Baclaran. So yung kumpol ng tao na yun sumakay sa bus namin! Pucha! Kahit sigaw ng sigaw yung epal na kunduktor wala siyang nagawa! Yung mga tao gusto, mali, desperado na atang umuwi! Sobrang kapit sila doon sa may hawakan! May nakalabas na nga yung katawan sa labas eh. Tas sobrang siksikan! Pinaghalo-halong amoy putok, pawis, utot, lansa... Basta! Ang dami! Feeling ko, super hay. Nagkaroon na ata ako ng claustrophobia dahil sa nangyari. Hay. Kaya paalala lang: Kayong mga Pilipino. Please, tigilan niyo na ang pagpaparami ng anak. Andami na natin pramis!!

Pangatlong Scenario: Ang Dyipni

Ang dyipni o jeep ay isa sa mga pangunahing paraan or mode of transportation dito sa Pilipinas. Alternatibo ito sa bus dahil naari din ito sa malayuang byahe.

Madilim na madilim na sa labas noon. Lumalamig ang simoy ng hangin (hindi pa po Pasko), at may kidlat na ding makikita sa kalangitan. Isa lamang ang ibig sabihin nito: Nagbabadya na ang malakas na ulan. At dahil natakot akong maistranded sa Baclaran ay pinatulan ko na ang jeep na kasalukuyan noong naghihintay ng mga sasakay pang pasahero. Suwerte ko dahil ang napili ko ay yung jeepney driver ay hindi gahaman, ganid, matakaw, duhapang, sakim sa pera. Umalis kami agad ng hindi pa masyadong napupuno yung jeep.

Medyo bored na ako kaya naisipan kong gawan ng kuwento 'yung mga ibang pasahero sa jeep:

Ang una kong napag-tripan: Tawagin natin siyang "Saudi Boy"

Nasa mid-forties na ang lalaking ito. May asawa at dalawang anak, hula ko dalawang babae ang anak niya. Ex-Saudi ang mamang ito kaya hindi masyadong maitim. Pero, dahil sa nagkatanggalan sa pinapasukan niya, napauwi siya ng wala sa oras. Mekaniko siya kaya hindi naman siya nahirapang makapasok sa mga talyer ng pagawaan ng jeep sa Maynila. Kaninang hapon ay naipit ang kanyang kamay sa vice grip (patay na kuko) dahil sa pagmamadali niyang umuwi. Birthday ng kanyang anak na bunso kinabukasan at kelangan pa niyang dumaan sa palengke upang mamili ng papansitin (canton noodles). Maraming tao ang dadalo kaya dinamihan niya ang kanyang binili. Nakakita pa siya ng magandang blusa na ireregalo niya sa kanyang si "bunso" at sinilid niya iyon sa kanyang bag kasama ng mga tools. Isip na isip siya ngayon kung paano nila (ng kanyang asawa) gagawing masaya ang birthday ng kanilang anak kahit pa hindi masyadong magarbo ang handa nila ngayong taon. :)

Pangalawa konng napagtripan: Tawagin natin siyang "Inday"

Eto, no offense sa mga Bisaya ah.

Ay etong se 'day ay Di-op ngayun (se day ay kase ay mananahe sa pabreka ng mga RTW). Nagponta sela ni Dudung sa Baclaran upang magsemba. Se Dudung ay ang "Ga" ni Enday. Boy se Dudung sa esang mayaman na pamelya. Suwirte na den nela sa esa't-esa dahel mahal na mahal nela ang esa't-esa. Kahet maherap ang bohay detu sa Maynela eh ok na den. Penagdasal nela sa Diyos na makaahun na sela sa kaherapan man. Para mapayagan na sela sa kanelang mga pamelya man na makapag-kasal na. Se 'day naman kase ayaw mawalay ke labs niya. May ang aluk pa naman sa kanya sa Hongkong belang Di. Ets. (DH). Kaya eto se 'day prublemado hende pa neya alam kung paanu sasabehen kay Dudung ang baletang aales na siya pontang Hongkong.
:)

Pangatlo kong napagtripan: Ang grupo ng mga "manang"

Hesus Marya. 'Yung dalawang matanda ay deboto na sa Mahal na Birheng milagroso. Gabi sila magsimba dahil: Una, ay may pwesto silang dalawa sa palengke. Pangalawa ay ayaw nila ng masyadong maraming tao dahil ang isa sa kanila ay may sakit na high-blood. Naging pangako na nila sa Birheng Maria na lagi silang pupunta doon at magnonobena. At ang kapalit? Na sana'y makahanap na ng magandang trabaho ang anak ng isa kanila at gumanda pa ang benta nila sa palengke. Paminsan-minsan ay sumasama ang anak nung isang babae para siya rin ay makapagdasal bilang pasasalamat at paghingi ng tulong para sa kanyang boyfriend na isang office worker sa Maynila. Humihingi rin siya ng awa na sana'y makahanap na muli siya ng trabaho (nakasama siya sa paglalay-out ng tao sa dati niyang opisina na pinagtatrabahunan).
:)

Ang huli kong napag-tripan: Ang mga "manikurista"

Hindi ako marunong mag-Ilokano kaya in Tagalog na lang natin ito isulat.

Pareho silang hindi nakapagtapos ng hayskul kaya bumagsak sila sa pagiging manikurista sa isang beauty parlor. Sa beauty parlor na din yun sila nagkakilala at naging mabuting magkaibigan. Masayahin silang mga tao at mahilig silang magkuwentuhan. Updated sila sa showbiz chismis dahil naririnig nila ito mula sa mga pinagkukuwentuhan ng kanilang mga costumer. Isang bagay ang kanilang pinagkapareho, yun ay ang pagkabaliw nila kay Piolo Pascual. Hindi sila naniniwalang bading ito at may relasyon kay Yul Servo. Halos lahat ng mga pelikula nito ay napanood na nila at kung may day-off sila ay sinisikap nilang pumunta sa mga guestings ni Piolo para manood. Pero kung paminsan ay pumupunta rin sila sa simbahan upang magpasalamat at humingi ng milagro sa Birheng Maria. Na sana'y maiahon sila at kani-kanilang pamilya sa kahirapan.
:)

Unfortunate?

Yesterday when I was on my way home, an old lady sat beside me. She was about 70ish and decent-looking. She talked to me and told me why the bus had stopped in front of the Census building. She told me that the conductor missed to board our bus in Buendia. I laughed and I told her: "Sa lahat naman ng maiiwan nung Driver, 'yun pa pong kunduktor!" She laughed after I said that. When we reached Baclaran, she told me that she came from the US Embassy and that she was processing some papers for her pension. I asked her if where she came from and told me that she was from San Fernando. I was surprised, not by the fact that an old lady is travelling by herself, but the fact that she's going the wrong way (she was going to SM Southmall). I asked her why she's going to SM. And her long story begins.

She went to the US Embassy this morning because she had an appointment by 8:45 am. After paying $200 of processing fee, she was ready to go back to San Fernando. But when she was walking, some guy placed his arm on her shoulder and greeted her: "Hi Lola!" She told me that she thought that this guy knew her. Being an old lady, and not seeing the danger, she agreed to walk with the strange-guy. When they reached the church (I think it's infront of Remedios), the guy took out a knife and ask the old lady to give him everything that she had at the moment. She can't do anything but to give the guy her wallet (containing 5, 300 pesos and ATM Card) and her cellphone. She even begged the thief to give her at least 300 pesos for her to buy some food and for transportation fare back to San Fernando. But the thief refused and told her: "Sorry lola, pero kailangan ko din po kasi ng pera eh." What a jerk! Lola just told me: "Hindi naman ako ang kakarmahin, kung hindi siya."

I really don't know what happened to her after I got down at RFC. She was going to Southmall to try her luck. She has no close-relatives here in the Metro, and she was looking for her far-far cousin there. I asked her if she knew her number, so I could text or call that person, but alas, being old and her cellphone being lost. Hay. I just gave her my last 20-buck. I wanted to offer more but that was the last money I got at the moment. I caught a glimpse of her in the window, waving. I felt very, very bad for her.

After posting this entry, please, dear readers, pag-pray natin si Lola. Na sana, nakita niya yung person na dapat niyang puntahan at sana nakauwi siya sa San Fernando na unharmed.

Isipin niyo na lang, paano kung kayo 'yun? Or worse, to your family members?

Hay. That's the sad truth of life. Hay.....
