January 4 2007

The New Year's eeek has been anticpated. It was so damn challenging.
Went to Church , and the Pastor talked about Faith. I couldn't agree more.
It was a little ..erm..weird? Pastor talked about Samson.
Made me think of Regina Spektor.Regina is telling a story in her songs, I wonder if whose perspective is it.

...samson went back to bed , notice that my hair was red..
you are my sweetest downfall, I love you first. I love you first.
Your hair was long when we first met.

Its raining terribly hard in here. I miss Frankie. Because someone "mistakenly took frankie". Woe*

Walks and Running

Since I came here , I walked a lot. The distances may seem far but once you start walking and head for your direction you'll realize that it's not that far. In a way life is like that.

I walk the streets of Downtown Cebu like I know it. =^_^=.
Though I haven't had the accent yet ( I don't think I will ever) I am beginning to feel comfortable being here. I've no choice anyways.

I marvel at the number of people that swarm the Colon Area. And don't get me started with the 5-road intersection near Metro. Urgh!

I did one of my long walks yesterday from Leon Kilat all the way to Jakosalem. It was around 8pm. Some of the cellphone shops and other establishments were starting to close.

At some moment the streets look vaguely familiar , as if I am walking my way towards home. But then again . no. This is not my home.
I belong somewhere else and one of these days [ really soon!!] I'll be home.

As for now... latas latas sa ta sa Cebu. *ampft*

5th of january 2007

randomness is a word

had along walk from Leon Kilat to Colon to the way home. Had my dose of Cokefloat. I did one of my newly found hobbies here in Cebu-- Walking.

The New Year's eek is eeek -ish! Mukatawa na lang jud ko.

I have a new baby, I haven't had the state of mind to name the baby yet.

Though we are lonely [ we= Ziyi, Jhen and I ] we still have time for laughs. I love you guys.

Kinsa man gyud ang alien?

a) si Jhen kay dili sila magkasinabot ni Ziyi [ kung naa sila conversation]
b) si Ziyi kay dili sila magkasinabot ni Jhen [ pag mag storya sila ]
c) Ako . Ako daw ang alien. Kay makasabot ko sa duha ka ' accused alein' aka Ziyi and Jhen

It's been raining like crazy here. and ..

I am weeping for the loss of Frankie.

The new blogger is driving me nuts [ hence the late post]. I am yet to sign up for a gmail account.

Gian's message om friendster for a while lost me. Dumating na ba ang 'yellowgreen' neogreen thing? Ah he was talking about Narda. Hipan mo na ang salbabida. Basain mo na ang kontrabida.

Gian and Aya's name is confusing me on friendster. An ode to Owen.


Nakita daw ni . Hay nakalimot ko.

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

Wala nako nakalimot. Nakita daw ni Rae si W. Hala ngorngor. Mumata jud ko ug sayo para makita sya..pero.

Jan 6 2007

I waited forever for the jeep. Like forever. With Lys. We saw a motorcycle accident. The driver could hardly move/stand.

When I reached #15, I spent around 30 minutes with Albie. We were both trying to figure out things for us. *iloveyoualkbie*

Read an sms from FS, talking about things that seemed vague to me. I replied and it made FS think that I'm one psychotic person. FS even doubted my state of my mind.

"FS, sure ka nanihapon na ka?".

I'm 100% sure that I had dinner, Seriously, I did.

Things aren't alright with me, albie and the rest of the world yet. Albie is sooooo cute!
I'm glad Ziyi wasn't that disturbed with albie's cries in the middle of the night.
*wHO ON EARtH IS ALBIE?* that deserves another post. you guys wait.

At around 3am someone unexpected texted me.

And Persson. Thanks Persson.

Slept at around 2am or so..when albie's cries already died down, Ziyi and I were still having a conversation a non-alien conversation. ( a very vague sentence. thought , i know)

Of cows, formulas , inventors and everything comms.

=====================
Jan 6 07
THIS ONE IS FOR YOU.

I really have no idea who reads my blog ( whether it be quickmelt/blogger or quickmelt /friendster).

Elena for sure reads my blog [ hence the comment].

And I have a new reader Persson.

Bru reads my blog sometimes.

And to whoever else who reads my bog.. Thanks a Lot!!!

I appreciate the time.[ and the comments]
========================
Mine To Keep

This January marked the coming of someone new in my life.You might've read about it in my previous entries.

I haven't had the 100% state of sanity to give the baby a permanent name, as for now I call him Albie. His real name would be Albert . For endearment's sake I call him albie/ alberto.

I would've loved to name him Julian ( because it's already given that I love Julian, dear life i love Julian) but Julian belongs to another lifetime of me.

But who knows in a later time, In a clear state i'll baptize Albie another name. I still don't have an idea as to what name I'll give albie.

Albie and I are still figuring out things. We are at a new beginning.And we will face it with new strength and we will begin to hope albie!

I love you albie!

...and so does the aliens. We love the aliens.

post script:
albie's Ninong is Melvin and one of the first people who saw albie was Tel. When Albie first saw the world.

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

spektor.

I heart REGINA SPEKTOR. *hearts hearts hearts* , although US takes quite some time of getting used to.

Can't go without hearing Fidelity,
how true , how me and how you.( Hah!)


*I never loved nobody fully,always one foot on the ground and by procting my heart fully I got lost in the sounds*


Am impressed with the way she writes songs. She's telling a story and that makes an appeal to me. It's not sappy , it's not cheesy.

* Hail Fidelity*

Im looking forward to hearing more of her songs.

I heart you Regina!

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

W

paalam na sa iyo . kaseh nakaka umay na eh. tapos ano, sumasakit ulo ko pag naiisip ka, ano ka ba talaga? Sino ka?

...dumating.

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

daydream delusion
(AN ATTEMPT, in a non-real world this will be for You, you are my daydream delusion

Daydream delusion, limousine eyelash [ a brilliant combination of words, eyelash , the word eyelash reminds of people that...]

Oh baby with your pretty face [ pretty faces, and famous places ]

Drop a tear in my wineglass [ dahil sa bawat iyak , at bawat patak ng luha..wala ka ng mararamdaman]

Look at those big eyes [ oo ang yong mga mata]

See what you mean to me [ sino ka nga ba? at ano ka nga ba sa akin?]

Sweet-cakes and milkshakes [ gusto mo rib ba ang mga ito?]

I'm a delusion angel [ oo.. ako nga]

I'm a fantasy parade [ sa umaga bawat pagsamo, bawat ligaya. tagumpay at ikaw]

I want you to know what I think [ dahil gusto ko lang]

Don't want you to guess anymore [ ilang hula , ilang beses paulit ulit at nawala]

You have no idea where I came from [ at wala ka rin namang pakialam]

We have no idea where we're going [ dahil nandito ako at nandun ka]

Lodged in life [ like a shell held tight in my palm]

Like branches in a river [ leading to the sea, i roar at the sea and it roars back to me ]

Flowing downstream [ tulad ng tubig]

Caught in the current [ sabay ng agos. pag agos, di alam kung tatakbo o kusang lalayo sayo]

I carry you [

You'll carry me

That's how it could be

Don't you know me? [ Sa tagal tagal na tayo'y magkasama di mo pa rin ba ako kilala?]

Don't you know me by now? [ hanggang ngayon ba di mo pa ako kilala?]



=-=====-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

jan 7 2007

And I thought it's Jan 6, 2007.

I overslept for an hour. Was supposed to wake up at 8:40 but awoke at 941 am.

Gian's sms made me smile.

Aya also texted me , and I found out that someone has the same talent that I have (which needs more practice at crucial moments).

Frankie's replacement is already here. I hope we'll have a good relationship too.

Had lunch with Ziyi and FCR.

FCR,Mico and Emat went partying last nite. The three of them. Based on FCR's chronicles they seemed to have a really great time! * dance dito, dance doon, tequilla doon *

FCR told us that we should join them sometime. Yeah right. As if marunong akong sumayaw. As if papayag si Ziyi. Papayag lang yun pag walang sigarilyo dun ( no offense sa mga nag sisigarilyo). [ Background lang: sabi kaseh ni Ziyi yung buhok nya ina absorb lahat ng usok , lalo na yung sa yosi]

I will have a good day!

I love you world, and albie loves Imago too *blush*

Dear Meli,

Mabuhay!

Kumusta na man ka?

Hallur na oversleep jud ko ganina. Pero k ra. Weidro kaayo ang weather diri. weirdo , mga 3 day nag sige ug ulan, nya ganina ni gawas na jud si haring araw.

tapos pa jud akong payong gi dekwat ko last dec 30. nasuya jud ko. nagsakit gihapon akong dughan pero dili na lang.

naalala nimo to na payong? kadtong black sya na naay leopard prints sa kilid. it has been with me for about a year now. and i really value my stuff and you know that.

* rant mode*

anyways, kanina kay nipalit na jud ko ug the replacement payong. its for P299.75. bahala na . investment jud xa. kaysa naman ma initan. maulanan ko alternately eh di mas gasto sa doctor.

what pisses me off is wala jud baya ko nag pa saya saya sa akong payong . unya gikuha lng sa walay kunsensya na tao.* walang katapusang rant*

my gawd, naa pa jud to pangalan na payong aka FRankenpayong. it has been through two repairs so mura xa ug si frankenstein. i bought that umbrella before our field trip , and it's been with me for more than a year. ilang araw , ilang ulan at ilang tagumpay at pagkabigo na rin ang pinagsamahan namin *char*

i am really sadenned by frankie's unexpected demise

start naming your things pag nawala na... mags akit jud imong atay [ heart pati bulsa]

anwayz, ok ra ko dri. 3 ppl have commented [ make that 4] that i did gain weight. I think i did. ok ra man pud. im comfortable with it. kesa naman mamayat di ba?

as you kn0w, i had mild anemia when i first arrived here in cebu, so may na lang nga ni gain kesa nag lose [ at least that's my principle]

I AM meeting a lot if different people from work. Way way different from the people i knew from home. though I don't really have a new group that i go out with [ as if i do go out. hah!]they're a beautiful bunch. Accepting me for who I am.

And ang buhay boarding house..

The closest housemate that we have is named tope. Christopher.A 2nd year Pol Sci student from University of San Carlos.

Weng and I and Jhen [ though jhen has moved out, she lives with her church mate] are fond FCR. Makwento kaseh. You should see us na magkakasama, We look awfully odd. Toptop is soooo tall! so lugar jud kaayo ang show.. tangkad kaayo na bata nya mag ate2 sa amo. ngor.

Daghan pud bata sa among boarding house. As in. Kay ang mga apo sa tag iya kay naa man pud didto ngapuyo. It's a big house na gihati sa duha , tas naa 4 ka pamilya.

Ang part sa house na among gipuy an kay kay ate grace na teritoryo. so bale kami mga boarders kay naa sa second floor. Ate grace has two kids,si ate aka GWEn2/gwyneth and si Chanchan / chandler. Gwen2 is five and is a kindergraten student sa Imaculada .Chanchan just turned three.

Grabe kaayo na nga maga bata wala kaila ug tulog. As en.dugay matulog . pwede muapil pud sila ug review sa perc? pag review na lang mo kids.. gabii mga 1 am mata pa. pero partida dugay pud mumata.



Si ate/gwen2 looks at me and weng like we are some kind of strangers sa ilang hosue. murag kabalo sya na boarders mi ,pero wala sya paki sa amo. kami pud wala paki sa iya [ wahahahah! mupatol ba sa five years old?!, maldita baya jud si gwen2 na bata, at hindi po ako naninira, talaga pong ibang klase sya]

Ako? Musta na man ko?

Passing .Passive. Proactive [ hhahah kadtong naa sa home shoping tv ek]. Taba, Late sleeper. And laundry expert.

Excited na ko sa sinulog! HALA bira! [ ahla bira is ati atihan right?] basta hapit na sinulog. Na!isarado baya daw ang mga dalan ana. na alas sais pa lang sa buntag mag sugod na ko ug baktas padulong sa people support. X baya jud ang sun. init!
