Endless Saga Of Tagging

The rule says: Remove one (1) question from below, and add in your personal question, make it a total of 20 questions, then tag eight (8) people on your list. List them out at the end of this post.

1. What's a phrase you can say perfectly in another language, and what does it mean? (English and Tagalog do not count!)

• "Asalamalaykum…" (Arabic for "peace be with you"; the answer would just sound like the reverse, Alaykum Assalam. Pero never kong narinig yan nung nasa Saudi kami.)

2. What color do you like most?

• Earth tones, pastel colors, white and black
  

3. Would you rather be really ugly but be the only person in the world with super powers, or be the only really good looking person but alone in a world where everyone has powers?

• Why not BOTH (only really good looking person and at the same time the only person in the world with super powers)?! Hehehe.. Bishop Gaor said, “Why choose if you can have both!” Hehehe. But if you’d insist, I’d go for the really ugly but be the only person in the world with super powers. I would use my super powers to change my look and be the best among the rest. (Good looks will not bring you that far according to Proverbs 31:30)
  

4. Where would you like to go to the most?

• Europe. I want to live the European dream. (Meron ba nun?! Hehehe..) I like to stroll, visit and take pictures of their scenic spots, and also to learn more about their rich and regal lifestyle. And also to the Caribbean. They say this place is a paradise. Let me see.
  

5. Which part of you do you hate the most?

• Fingers.
  

6. When you encounter a sad moment, what do you do?

• Deep sigh. Cry out. Pray hard. (In that particular order)
  

7. If you win $1 million, what would you do?

• I'd give my tithes. I’d give for our church building project. I’d invest in a business. I’d save for the future.
  

8. What do you love the most about last year (2007)?

• 2007 is a year of grace for me. The expansion of Cornerstone Christian Church-San Mateo and the birth of COLOURS Youth Ministry. Plus innumerable blessings and opportunities
  

9. List out 3 good points of the person who tagged you:

• Ate Faye: God-fearing. Witty. Blessed. (Yun na! Hehehe.)
  

10. How do you cope with boredom?

• I don’t have that word in my vocabulary. Boredom comes only to boring people. Hehehe..
  

11. What is one thing you'll never get tired of?

• Knowing, believing, trusting, serving and loving God. Believing that I’m blessed by God.
  

12. What is your ambition?

• To be what God wants me to be and to fulfill His purpose in my life.
  

13. If you have one wish, what would you wish for?

• I’d wish that all my wishes would come true. Hehehe…
  

14. This is a very Oprah question: what do you know for sure?

• I know for sure that God loves me, has done great things in my life and has great plans for me and I need not worry about a thing because He is in control of everything.
  

15. What’s your worst attitude?

2. Ano ang isang bagay na na-enjoy mong gawin noon?

· Nung kinder graduation namin, pina-memorize ako ng teacher naming ng isang essay na 7 o 8 atang paragraphs na nakalagay sa isang yellow paper. Take note, back-to-back pa. Tapos, i-rerecite ko daw yun sa graduation day namin. Isipin mo, bata pa lang ako pinapa-memorize na sa akin ang ganun kahaba. Ibinigay lang siya sa akin mga 1 week before the graduation day. Tapos, ineexpect daw nila na word per word ko dapat banggitin lahat ng nandun. Waahhh!!! Biktima ako ng child abuse!! Hehehe. Joke. Sa awa ng Diyos, umiiyak ako habang nag-rerecite ako nung essay nung graduation kahit ang saya-saya ng message nung essay. Naiiyak ako sa pressure at takot na magkamali. Hehehe..

Coward Moves: A Tribute To Who's Who In My Life

I got this from Mishi.

The Rules:
1. Write something about 15 different people.
2. You can NOT say who they are.
3. If someone asks you which one is about them, you can NOT tell.

1. Thank you very much for everything. Thank you for all the advices you gave. I rarely ask for advices (you know that for a fact!), but you were there to listen and to give Godly advices. Thank you for all the words of encouragement as well. You made a great impact in my life.

2. We’ve known each other since then. However, we were not that close. I never expected that we will be this close (almost 24/7 closeness. Hehehe..). I want to know more of you. You’re interesting! You’re an “old soul” too. Surprisingly, you also like the things that I like (especially when it comes to music genres/artists). You just don’t know how you make my day easier and happier. Thank you for continually supporting me. I hope you liked my Puttanesca. Hehehe.

3. It’s good that we don’t talk as often as before. That’s the big difference you wanted. Right?! Hehehe.. God bless.

4. Thank you for the long conversations we had before. You made me realize that I’m only human---capable of being tempted. Hehehe.. I enjoyed every time that we’re together. I don’t know what lies ahead of us. But one thing is for sure, I’ll always be here for you. Waiting for almost 10 years is like a journey to nowhere, but I enjoyed it anyway. And I would like you to know that I can wait until forever, that is if God permits. Hehehe.. I hope and pray that you’ll get to know Him.

5. Thank you for following my unsolicited advices. Hehehe.. Thank you for being a good friend. Always remember that you’re a part of our family, so don’t be shy and hesitant when we ask you to join us even during “family day” events. I like your vibrant and colorful personality. You made me realize that life should be enjoyed with simple things, even the microscopic ones. Hehehe..

6. Thank you for everything. You’re also a part of our family. I guess you’re family and my family can be considered as one. Hehehe.. Thank you for being such a loyal and good friend. You stayed with us even in times of adversaries. Actually, those experiences made us stronger and closer to each other. I hope we’ll get to have more bonding time with each other. I miss the Starbucks and Yellow Cab days. God bless. Congratulations in advance!

7. Where are you now? We miss you so much! I hope you’re fine. You’re so busy!

8. Thank you for everything. Thank you for all the words of encouragement you gave. Thank you for the new visions and plans you shared to me. Thank you for believing in me. You’re a good person. I don’t believe in what they say about you. I know you’re a sincere person. Thank you for treating me the way I want to be treated (most of the time). I know that God has so many good plans for you. I just hate it when you show favoritism among your friends and subordinates. You have a great sense of humor. Please don’t let me wear stressed/destroyed pants again. I hope you’ll be more sensitive to others. Lastly, please don’t wear dark colored clothes, you look older with those.

9. You’re fantastic. I like your energy. I like it when I hear your stories and testimonies about God’s goodness and faithfulness in your life. Just keep on serving and trusting Him in your life and He will crown your efforts with success. I know you’re destined for success. I pray that God will continue to shower you with blessings and miracles. I also pray that your family will get to have a genuine relationship with Him. Don’t lose hope. I’ll be supporting you in prayers. I hope to have more “bonding time” with you. You’re such a great person.

10. You’re a good and loyal friend. I know you’re destined for success. I hate it when you start to consciously/unconsciously discriminate others. I never expected that we will be close friends after all the conflicts and wrangles that we had. I pray that God will continue to bless you especially with your thesis defense. Just continue serving and trusting God with all your plans and endeavors.

11. I really appreciate your kindness and the purity of your heart. You’re an art genius! I love working with you. You’re one of my closest friends. I like your energy and your ideas and principles. You’re very hardworking, creative and innovative. You’re one of the best people I’ve ever met. Your personality is oozing with greatness. You’re also an epitome of a servant-leader. You’re a true-blue fashion diva. You deserve to be happy. I pray that God will continue to reveal Himself to You. I pray that you’ll have a special encounter with Him.

12. Thank you for unconsciously being an alter ego for me. You’re a great person too. You’re one of my closest friends. I like the way you motivate others through your light and comic strategies. You have a great sense of humor. I hope that you’ll come to know and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I’ve been praying for both of you (#11), that you’ll have a special encounter with the Lord and know Him more. You’re also a great leader. I appreciate those times that you helped me with our organization. I miss our “theater days”.

13. You’re a great singer. Don’t underestimate yourself. I know you can do many things for His glory. Don’t focus on what others will say about you. Don’t try to escape from your problems. Face them squarely. I know you can achieve many things. Just continue to believe in God’s power and continue to serve and trust Him. Don’t be fooled by men. Guard your heart always. Love yourself. Respect yourself. Give yourself a chance to enjoy God’s gifts. Life is too short. Wake up! Let go of your fantasies.

14. I never expected that you’ll end up that way. Well, I just pray that God will enlighten you both. Learn to forgive one another. Let God be center of your relationship. Try to talk and settle things over. I know God has planned so many things for both of you. Take it easy. I’ll be praying for both of you. Thanks for sharing your side of the story. May God bless all your business ventures.

15. I haven’t talked to you lately. I know what you’re going through. I just pray that God will intervene in your situation. I know how hard it is, but I know that God will always be there for you. Learn to entrust everything to Him. He is the answer to all your problems. You cannot do it by yourself. You must learn to surrender your situation to Him. Only He alone can see through our inmost being and can heal a wounded heart.

CLUE: Family members/relatives are not included.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's just follow the rules.
Thank God for all of them.
And the list goes on and on...

God bless.

Breaking News # 1: Jollibee's Real Identity Revealed

Sobrang init.

Ang hirap mag-isip ng pwedeng maisulat. Bigla kong na-realize, hindi talaga ako tatagal sa isang disyerto. Pero bakit nung nagpunta kami ng Saudi Arabia kinaya ko? Hehehe.. Magdamag kasi ang aircon sa bahay namin dun. Dito, pilit kong pinipigilan ang timer ng aircon para mas humaba-haba ang pag-eenjoy.

Walang kinalaman dyan ang entry na ito.
Ala lang.

Gusto ko lang i-share ang isa sa mga walang katuturang trivia na nalaman ko mula sa isang kaibigan at classmate nung college. Minsan ko lang bisitahin ang blogsite ni RJ kasi hindi naman gumagalaw ang site niya. Wala namang pagbabago, puro promotion lang nung mga negosyo niya. Pero minsan naisipan kong bisitahin at mas lalo akong na-enganyong tingnan kasi sabi niya alam na daw niya ang tunay na pangalan ni Jollibee.

Sabi niya, kung Ronald McDonald daw ang buong pangalan ng Mc Donald's. Dapat si Jollibee rin daw meron din. Kaya yun, habang naglalakad sila ni Vier ng mga papeles ng kanilang negosyo inabutan sila ng lunch sa isang Jollibee branch. At yun na! Nakita na nila ang tunay at buong na pangalan ni Jollibee.

Ready na ba kayo? Naku, exclusive ito.
O eto na:

Kung sa McDonald's may Ronald McDonald, sa Jollibee naman ay may:

JOLLIBEE N. DOMINGO

Heto ang katibayan:

Ito ang pruweba niya.

Nakakapang-init ng ulo, di ba? Hehehe.
Gaya ng sabi niya, wala na akong masasabi pa.
Naku, dapat next time pati middle name niya alam ko na.

P.S.

Magkano Ang Kahihiyan?

I admit it.

Law school may be that boring for many. But, don’t you think boredom is ‘relative’? With all the thick, heavy, hard-bound, maroon-colored monotonous law books written and inspired by well-known pillars and legends of Philippine jurisprudence. Plus, the heck of reading tons of cases ranging from notorious killings to bloody encounters to the traditional “tagaan” and “saksakan sa kanto” to various classifications and stages of felonies (Whew!) and fraudulent acts to petty incidents of non-payment of membership fees in the IBP and thereby being disbarred from the roll of attorneys. (Nakakaasar. Nawala ang pagka-abugado niya nang dahil sa hindi pagbabayad ng Php150. (A.C. 1928, In re: Atty. Marcial Edillion) --->College pa lang nabasa ko na ‘to hanggang ngayon pa ba naman?!) Take note, not to mention, the never-ending legendary cases of Tanada vs. Tuvera and Cayetano vs. Monsod. (Whew!!) Along with those piled-up cases are different readings from various sources other than those above-mentioned; and those case digests. (Grabe, parang hindi pang tao yung mga pinapagawa. Kailangan ng ‘invincibility’ at ‘immortality’ para matapos lahat. Kulang ang 24 hours. Haayy!!)

I really want to have a break. A real break.
Even just for a minute, hour or a day.
Please Lord. (Hehehe!!)

Then, suddenly an old friend of mine ‘buzzed’ me through YM. Then, a question popped-up, “Have you heard of Alyssa Alano?”. I answered, “No. Why? Who is she?”. No answer. So, I decided to search “Alyssa Alano” in Google. And….. Whoaala!!

Enjoy and watch the videos:

An interview in Startalk.
Joey De Leon with Alyssa Alano.


A showcase of talent by Alyssa Alano. Yipee!!! Enjoy!!
Performance level pa ha.. Bigay na bigay!!


Eto pa, “Breathless” by Alyssa Alano.
Haayy!!! Stop me.--> Tigilan ako. Hehehe…


Last na, “Whenever, Whenever, Whatever”.
Haay naku!! Ang sakit sa ulo. WHATEVER!!


Magkano ang kahihiyan?!

Have a break.

Pray. Breathe. Sleep.

Then, back to work…

Ang Langaw Sa Ibabaw Ng Kalabaw

"Ayoko ng tinatapakan ako, ayoko ng masikip,
ayoko ng mabaho, ayoko ng walang tubig,
ayoko ng walang pagkain, ayoko ng putik!!!”

----Maricel Soriano to Gina Alajar in

Maryo J. de los Reyes' “Kaya Kong Abutin Ang Langit”

Kung saan madumi, nakadidiri, mabaho, may nakasusulasok na amoy, (hhmm.. <--ano ang ibig sabihin nun? Heheh.) maantot, nabubulok at napapanis dun naman nagsusumiksik at nagsususuot ang mga pasaway na mga langaw. Di ko nga alam sa kanila kung bakit ganun ang preferences nila, samantalang halos lahat ang gusto ay ang mga bagay at lugar na malilinis, mababango, maayos, magaganda at kaaya-aya. Anu bang meron dun? May ginto kaya dun? O baka may mapagkakakitaan dun?

Na-enganyo tuloy akong silipin at pag-aralang saglit ang buhay ng dalawang magkaibang nilalang----ang langaw at ang kalabaw. Wala naman silang outstanding similarities kaya hindi sila mahirap i-distinguish sa isa’t-isa. Andami nilang differences kaya madali rin silang bigyan ng kakanyahan. Para sa akin, napakakontrobersyal ng phrase na ito: “…para lang siyang langaw sa ibabaw ng kalabaw.”. Oo, napakahilig nating mga Pinoy sa mga katulad nitong mga pasaring na tila simple lang ibig sabihin ngunit may subliminal na mensaheng nais ipahatid. Sabi nila sadyang maka-Silangan ang ganitong pagpapahayag ng damdamin. Hindi tayo sanay na diretso ang pagpapahayag ng ating mga damdamin o saloobin. Kaya puro pasaring na lang ang ating sandata upang maipahayag ito at ng hindi ganun katindi epekto nito sa taong pinag-uukulan.

Eto ang mga resulta sa mga na-research ko tungkol sa mga langaw. Biruin mo andami palang mata ng isang langaw. Flies have over 4,000 facets for sight in each eye. Flies are attracted by movement more than color. Flies have a smelling distance of over 750 yards. Eto pa, a fly's feeding range is usually limited to two miles. Malayo rin pala ang nararating nila bilang mga ‘mini scavengers’. Di niyo ba alam na, a single garbage can, if not emptied, can be the breeding ground for 30,000 flies. Wala silang konsepto ng “family planning”. At eto pa, during warm weather, a fly can produce a family generation in less than two weeks. Kaya pala ang sobrang bilis nilang dumami.

Eto naman ang mga na-research ko tungkol sa mga kalabaw. Anga kalabaw o carabao ay kilala bilang beast of burden. Sobrang sipag nila. Biruin mo maglakad ka ba naman ng paulit-ulit sa iisang lupain. Kilala rin sila bilang mga water buffalo. Lagi silang nasa putikan. Malamang hindi nila kasama si Maricel Soriano. (Hehehe..) Kasi ayaw niya dun, sinu ba naman ang may gusto bumilad sa araw at sa maligo o magbabad sa putikan. Eto pa, alam niyo ba na before about 1925, a carabao costs 50 pesos. Syempre pa, the carabao is considered as a national symbol of the Philippines. Simbolo daw kasi ito ng kasipagan kaya siya napili. (Sana totoo nga!) Alam nyo ba na may island na malapit sa Manila Bay na ang pangalan ay Carabao. (Eh anu naman?! Hehehe..)

Marami pa tayong pwedeng malaman tungkol sa dalawang nilalang na ito. Maari pa tayong mabigla sa mga bagong madidiskubre natin tungkol sa kanila. Eh anu naman ang kinalaman nun sa mga katagang: “…para lang siyang isang langaw sa ibabaw ng kalabaw.”? Ewan ko. Mahirap bigyang buhay ang eksaktong diwa nito. Eh anu naman kung may langaw sa ibabaw ng kalabaw?! May masasaktan ba? May mamamatay ba?

Minsan ang hirap hanapan ng tamang perspektibo ang mga katagang tulad nito. Kasi maraming possibleng ibig sabihin ito. Puno ng pag-aalinlangan kung tama ba, mali ba, sobra ba o kulang ba ang pagbibigay interpretasyon sa mga tulad nito. Pwede rin kasi itong manggaling sa isang kapwa langaw niya na naiinggit lang at nais rin maabot ang ganoong estado. Maari rin sa isang concerned citizen na langaw na nakakapansin. Pwede rin naman sa kalabaw na tinutung-tungan at walang malay na tini-take advantage siya. O di kaya sa kanya mismo, na minsan lang makalasap ng makarating sa itaas ay siya namang tindi ng pagyurak sa mga nasa ibaba. May mga dapat unawain at may mga hindi. Nilalang din sila ng Diyos kaya't sila rin ay may saysay.

Ang hirap sigurong maging langaw? Eh ang maging kalabaw?

Minsan kasi ‘tao’ rin sila eh.
