my christmas wishlist

while everyone is busy thinking of their tangible gifts this Christmas, let me share mine. This may sound weird since everyone or most if not all, wants something new.

this season, a time for wishing, i just wish that anyone who could read this may be able to understand that i'm not trying to make people envious of me. i'm wishing because im entitled of it and i'm doing it so that those who are willing,will do me a favor.

Please pray for me because I just submitted my application form to UP WITH PEOPLE. If God be willing, I am traveling with the group sometime in July. Please help me knock on Heaven's Door to pass the interview and raise 14,000 USD to be with them. A person just came to me and told me to apply and he's more than willing to look for sponsors. This opportunity just happens rarely and to see my parents support may this be a burden are just simply the reasons why I'm pushing it. I won't be wishing for anything but for your PRAYER that God will let me into the group. The tour will not be of any luxurious purposes, this is going to be a global community service, so it's really on a good purpose.

To those who would like to grant my wish , it would be really highly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Again my purpose is not to brag. If it won't happen, then it won't. I hope I would not be hearing anyone saying that Im just press releasing on this matter.

UP WITH PEOPLE

BRINGING THE WORLD TOGETHER. That's how their slogan says.

It's been a while since the last time I updated my blog. I've been pretty busy for the past days and I know it's just a lame excuse for not having something interesting to talk about. I was avoiding to look stuffy on my posts coz that would simply bore everyone.

It was few months ago when my mom first told me about this group of people from different countries coming here in the Philippines for a community service thing. She said, she signed up for hosting members. To cut it short, we're a host family. Since it was quite far from the date she told me about it, I didn't mind. I just said it was OK and asked her few things on how the set up was gonna be. (so I did mind..hehe) She said we're just going to provide a place for them to stay and food to eat. I didn't really bother that it was going to be a nose-bleeding situation to be with some people I dont know, what bothered me was, where the heck am i gonna sleep. Our house isn't big. It's not even good to let people in. But my mom said, that they have to experience how Filipinos live their lives. I wanted to tell my mom that they could go to the mountains and live with the native ones if that's what they need.I won't win over my mom though, she's bringing the money in so I dont have the right to protest, anyway it was september when she told me about it and that would happen in December.

Few days before December 5, since I forgot about the people coming, she told everyone in the house that there were 2 western people coming over to stay with us for 10 days. I was really holding my breath when I heard her say it. It's my first time to have the longest 5 seconds in my life when she said it. My world stopped and I was wishing to die. I am not over-acting but seriously I didn't like the idea that I'm gonna be staying with English speaking people for 10 days, share the same food and be with them whenever my mom says. I didn't know what to do but she's solid on her decision.

December 5 - I was at work when my mom started calling me to be with her to pick up my "foster sisters". I said I couldn't coz Im doing overtime work. It was a big no for her and I must do what I was told. She knew that I was just lying. I was going crazy that time when I was about to go to the pick up place and my mom told me that they just arrived. She wanted me to go home straight instead. When I got home they we're front of the house while my mom was on the door trying to pull their heavy luggage. I was surprised that I forgot to offer my help to my mom who id be sharing love and care with the 2 big girls in front of me for 10 days. The next thing I knew was my mom asking me to help her carry their things. I took their luggage in and my mom introduced me to ANNAKA and LINDA. They're from the USA and Finland respectively. I rushed the hello thingy and jumped to my sorry-the-house-isn't-that-good statement. I felt comfortable when they said it's ok coz they had the worst thing in their lives when they told me that in Mexico they even slept on the floor.

I didn't have much talk with them coz I had a birthday party to go to that night so I bid goodbye to both of them. I went home late and they're sleeping when I arrived. I woke up late and they're gone on Subic tour and had to leave early in the morning according to my mom. So I had to compose myself while they're out. I didn't want to tell anyone that I'm teaching English coz that might upset them if they knew that Im messing up with their language. They came home at around 6pm and my mom had to pick them up where they were dropped off by their staff. I couldn't really be myself whenever they're around. I would always think about being intimidated by them whenever I'm gonna ask them something or otherwise.

So what are they here for? They're with UP WITH PEOPLE. They do community service and some outreach programs to the needy ones. How did my mom know about it? My mom is just a social butterfly to volunteer hosting members. It's a non-profit organization and they travel for 6 months to different countries.That's why they need a host family so it could at least lessen the burden of paying for their accommodation. I didn't understand their idea at first since there are a lot of non-profit organizations that do the same thing they do, aside from the HOST FAMILY thing.

My aunt got 2 members too. So basically, we're hosting 4 girls. But my aunt lives in a different place. The thing here is, I have to look after all of them. They're a group of young people, between 19-29. Ours are between 19-22. My aunt has got CHERYSSA (USA) and TINA (germany). Tonight they had their FINAL PERFORMANCE which they do everytime they leave the place. (they did it in manila because they also went there to do their thing). Anyways, yes, it's final coz Subic is their last stop and they're all going home. Their 6 month-community-service tour ends here in Subic. 2 days to go and all of them are flying back home.

This is such a wonderful experience that they're really bringing the world together. They adapt to the culture of the people which is kinda hard especially when you travel for 6 months and you're gonna meet different families serving totally different food from each other, you have to adjust your body clock and bear a terrible jet lag from a long trip (coz they came all the way from mexico after doing their US tour). It's good to know that there are still people willing to see the world on a good purpose and pay for 14 US dollars just to serve people across nations. I hope that hosting them could bring us closer to the rest of the people in the world. In this way, I was able to experience USA, FINLAND, GERMANY and not to mention other members I met, without getting a VISA. They;ve been all good and appreciative to the accommodation we gave them. They embraced the Filipino culture with all their hearts and showed us that there could still be unity in diversity, that there is no greater race in this world and we are all equal. The organization primarily promotes service to people and this entails everything that we need to achieve world peace which is quite getting too impossible to many.

I'm wishing that I could be a part of this group in the next few years. They had a big impact on me and watching their show made me realize that general interest should always be superior to our self-interest .


As per my mom, MA, SARAP NG ULAM NITONG MGA NAKARAANG ARAW!!!! nyahahahahaha!

OCTOBER 9, 2008 - PAALAM SUGPO!

Lasing akong umuwi ng bahay bandang alas kwatro ng madaling araw. Partida, may pasok pa ako kinaumagahan. Kelangan kong gumusing ng alas sais ng umaga. Napasarap ang pagtambay ko kasama sina Sandara Park, Katrina Halili, Keso de Bola, Dennis Trillo, Rachel Lobangco at ang humabol na si Robert de Niro. Naparami ang Vodka Ice - libre kasi. Tatlong bars ang pinuntahan namin at kung sakaling maaprubahan ang proposal ko with Mc Donalds na itransform ang business into a BAR, apat na bars ang pinuntahan namin.
Late ng 30 mins ang gising ko. Pero dahil minsan akong nagtraining sa Military at may sapi rin ako ni The Flash, nakaabot pa ako sa oras. Pero puyat ako. Ang sakit sa ulo. Nag-inarte pa akong may sakit mapagbigyan lang ng boss kong makatulog sa oras ng trabaho. Epektibo naman. Paglabas ng "snooze box" - "hey, what happened to you? Are you OK? Fix your hair." "Ah, eh, owkey ser" ang sabi ko naman. Medyo caught-off guard ako sa mga panahong yun. Ininglish pa ako, mas lalong sumakit tuloy ang ulo ko. Makalipas ang ilang sandali, nakikipagpatintero na naman ang antok. Mistulang iniinggit ako ng bawat upuan na makita ko. At ang mga ding-ding ay mistulang bumubulong na "sumandal ka sa akin." Maya't-maya ang mga nakaw na sandali ng pag-idlip ko.
Alas Dose na!!! Lunch na!!! yahoo!!! Pumunta ako ng Cafeteria bitbit ang baunan ko. Nilapag at binuksan. Nakita ko ang pulang ulam ko. Parang nagsibabaan ang mga anghel sa langit. Ang mga pipi'y nagsigawan. Tumalon ang mga pilay. Ang mga bingi'y nagkantahan at nag-jack n' poy ang mga walang kamay at mga bulag ay ay ay... wala lang. -isang MILAGRO! SUGPO ANG ULAM KO!!! Tandang-tanda ko pa ang bawat langhap , paghimay at pag-lasap ko sa apat na seksing sugpo. "ang sarap niyo." Makalipas ang lunch ng mga co-construction worker ko, tumuloy na ako sa cubicle ko para muling mag-hibernate. Pinatay ko ang ilaw para mas maging sensual ang pag-idlip ko. 1... 2... 3... PAK! ANG KATI!!! Napag-isip pa tuloy ako kung naligo ako bago pumasok sa trabaho. Hindi maganda ang serbisyo ng memory ko dahil medyo lasing pa ako. Inabot ako ng 10 minutes sa pagninilay-nilay ng pagligo ko.
Maya-maya, mas lumalala ang kati. Mistulang epidemyang kumakalat sa buong katawan ko ang kati. Inisip ko na baka mainit lang ang panahon. Pero hindi. Ibang level ang kati. Lumabas ako ng cubicle para magpalamig ng konti at makapaghilamos. Pag-labas ko ay nakita ako ng co-worker ko. "What happened to you? You're all red!" "ow rili?" ang sagot ko. Nag-isip naman kaagad ako. Nireregla ako? Bwahahaha. Pero teka, I was all red daw.Tumakbo kaagad ako sa RESTROOM para tignan ang sarili ko. Tinamaan ng... HAM NGA! RED NGA!!! Dali-dali akong pumunta kay TINA PANER para humingi ng anti-histamine. "Dis is impasibol. I don't hab allergy wid eyniting" "Sira-ulo ka!" "there's always a first time for everything." mabilis na tugon ni tina. "Kunin mo na nga mga gamit mo, itatakbo na kita sa ospital" "Wag kang OA, OK pa ako" sabi ko naman. "OO nga, OK ka ngayun, pero mamaya mamamanhid na buong katawan mo. At ang worst, hindi ka makakahinga." "weh, di nga? OA ka lang e." ang kontra ko. "ay naku bahala ka, ikaw na maging nurse!" "eto na nga kukunin ko na gamit ko e." Siya rin ang nagwagi. Pagdating sa hospital, namamaga na nga ako. Direct I.V. kagad. " O shiyet, masakit!"
Ang ending, pinauwi na ako ng bahay. Magpahinga na lang daw ako. WOW SABAW! Gusto ko niyan! Puyat ako e. Pagdating sa bahay, kamot pa rin ako ng kamot. Naligo ako ng mainit na tubig. Yung kumukulo. Di pa rin nawawala ang kati. Naghanap ako ng mabisang substitute sa kuko ko na pununong puno na ng dead skin cell ng mga panahon na yun. At natagpuan ko ang hair clam ng nanay ko! Panalo to. Ayos! SOLB! Nahiga na ako at nagpaantok kasabay ng pagkamot sa buong katawan ko. After 5 hours. -- tulog pa rin ako kasi 6 hours akong nakatulog. Paggising ko, wala na ang kati. YAHOOO!!!! Nawala man ang kati, nakakalungot namang isipin na WALA NA RIN ANG SUGPO! Yaya you're such a loser! haaaay. (T_T)

TATAK PINOY!!!! filipinism

I just came across this article while surfing the world wide web!

ONLI PINOYS HAVE IT!!!!!


These are the words that are so unique and loaded in meaning that they will never find a direct translation in the English language.

Forget traditional dictionaries. Keep this.

1. Achuchu (A-chu-chu).
This refers to the pointless insincerities being said
during long, involved conversations about nothing at all.

2. Ano (A-noh)
The all-around, all-purpose word for everything.

(1) Pronoun in interrogation: Ano? (What)
(2) Noun: Where is your ano? (Where is
your father/mother/dead-uncle's-second-cousin)
(3) Verb: Anuhin this.
(Paint/kill/maim/castrate this.)
(4) Adjective: This is so ano. (This is so
pretty/big/astounding.)
(5) Interjection: Ano! (What the hell!)
(6) Substitute for genitalia: Did you ano
your ano?

The use of ano is quite dangerous for the untrained ear,
and must be put into the proper setting.
"Honey, the ano is too long, we have to cut it," must be
accompanied by the proper understanding of the context, as results may be critical to a couple's future.

3. Booba (boo-bah).
A female blessed with larger than usual mammary glands,
which can be used as weapons of mass destruction.

4. Checheboreche (Che-che-boh-re-che)
Same as achuchu. It is interesting to ponder on the reason
why there are so many words in the Filipino language
that beautifully describe meaningless chatter.

5. Epal (Eh-pal).
An individual who believes he is God.

6. Gigil (gee-gil).
An uncontrollable desire to bite something.

7. Hipon (Hee-pon).
Literally "shrimp," whose body is eaten while its head is
thrown away, this refers to a female whose body is to die for
and whose face looks like it belongs to the dead.

8. Kikay (kee-kay).
Refers to individuals who carry a brush, hand wash,
moisturizer, lip-gloss and various other facial enhancements in a case
(aptly called a kikay kit) inside her bag.
Recent inspections of various backpacks have led to the conclusion it is not a purely female trait.
This breed cannot resist checking themselves out on mirrors,
glass windows, bread knives, sidewalk puddles and
plastic-covered notebooks.

9. Kaekekan (Ka-ek-e-kahn)
Same as achuchu and chechebureche.

10. Kilig (keel-leg).
A rush of excitement due to the actions, presence
or even mention of he whom you see as the future father of
your children.

11. Laglag-panti (lag-lag-pan-tee).
A man so incredibly hot, so heart-stoppingly gorgeous
and oozing with masculinity that female underwear
(whether worn by males or females) falls to the ground
without effort whatsoever.

12. Laglag-brip (lag-lag-brip).
The female counterpart of laglag-panti


13. Indyanero (In-jan-neh-ro).
An individual who fails to appear at anappointment
without prior warning. Not to be confused with individuals
who appear according to Filipino time
(approximately 10 minutes before the meeting is to end)

14. Japorms (Jah-porms).
Describes an individual dressed differently
from the usual (typically involves clothes
that have been laundered and pant legs of roughly the same
length).

15. Lagot (Lah-got)
A prophesy of evil things to come.

16. Para (Pah-rah).
A term that informs the driver of a jeep to stop
and pause (usually in the middle of the road)
as the individual speaking intends to leave the vehicle.
Dangerous for individuals as drivers seem to believe
having one foot in the air is all that is necessary for
descent.

17. Takusa (Ta-kuh-sa).
Derived from takot sa asawa (afraid of wife),
this is a term used to describe the silent (very silent)
minority of males married to feminine reincarnations of
Hitler.

18. Torpe (tore-peh).

A gentleman who is desperately attracted to a female yet by some strange compulsion is reduced to a frozen mound of stuttering male whenever that female is near.



Armed with this list and a smile, you will be sure to make the proper impression not just on your new relations, but on your loved one as well. Now let's practice:

"Honey, when I first saw you,
I made laglag brip, and was almost torpe.
When I finally got the nerve to date you,
I almost became indyanero,
because I didn't think I had the right japorms.
When you're around, I'm kilig, when you're not, I get gigil.
You may think all this is achuchu, kaekekan, just checheboreche,
but in truth, my love, I'm so ano with you."

naisip ko lang... KAYO ANO SA PALAGAY NIYO?

"it's kind of a spiritual snobbery to say you are happy when you don't have money. 'Coz poor people can't just help it and don't realize the happiness money could give."

Medyo totoo. Medyo mali. Depende naman siguro sa paningin ng tao kung san siya sasaya. Merong sobrang materialistic, meron namang sakto lang... pero materialistic pa rin. Pero parang totoo naman di ba? Yung iba ineenjoy na lang kasi alam nilang hindi naman sila yayaman, pero umaasa -- positibo lang talaga sila. Kaya nga siguro naglipana ang mga one-day millionaire kasi bibihira lang makatikim ng ginhawa sa buhay -- "aray!" hahahahahaha!

Ewan ko... kayo??? ano sa palagay niyo?

be proud you are a teacher, the future depends on you!

Mag-aalas dos na ng madaling araw at kakatapos ko lang gumawa ng limang sets ng exam para sa friday, Tinapos ko na ngayung wednesday pa lang (pero technically thursday na kasi madaling araw na e) para maabisuhan ko na kung sino man ang substitute teacher sa mga klaseng maiiwan ko sa viernes habang naglalakwatsa ako sa Maynila.

Ansakit sa ulong isipin na pinagpupuyatan ko ang bagay na paghihirapan din ng iba. Naisip ko na nga rin minsang dayain na lang ang exam at hulaan na lang ang grade na pwedeng ibigay sa kanila.Pero hindi. Ayoko namang lokohin ang sarili ko kapalit ng baryang ibinabayad saken ng eskwelahan. Ngayun ko naisip na ang hirap pala ng buhay nila Ma'm Bore ng Biology nung High school, sir balois ng soc sci., Ma'am Rucan ng PE, Ma'am Daduya at Figueroa ng English at Ma'am Sidon ng Filipino. Isama mo na rin ang buhay ni Ma'am Escudero at Michelle Mendoza. Pota, ang hirap maging isang guro! At ang kapalit ng pagbibigay ng exam ay isang malinis na papel na hindi man lang napatakan ng tinta ng bolpen maliban sa pangalang isinulat na minsa'y missing in action pa. Di ko lubos maisip na yung papel na pinagsulatan ng exam ay dudumihan lang at sasagutan ng mali-mali o kung mas malas at wala talagang mapiga, ibabalik na ang papel after 10 seconds na ma-scan ng estudyante at magkamot ng ulo.

Bakit pa kasi word processed ang exam na ginawa ko e di naman kame required sa school na mag-encode pa. Tamang hand-written questionnaire lang tabla tabla na raw. E ayoko ng ganun, nagpapalakad nga ako ng papel e. At ang ink ng printer ko mistulang naghihingalo na dahil nagbubuga na ito ng red at black ink sa papel. Parang Pugita lang. Bakit ko nga ba kelangan pang pahirapan sarili ko e hindi ko naman pakikinabangan kung may natutunan man sila sa akin o wala. Mas matutuwa pa nga siguro ako kung wala silang natutunan. Sa gayun, mas magiging madali para sa mga Pinoy ang makipagsabayan. Pota, mukhang mahirap pa rin. Kasi kung wala naman sila, kawawa rin ang iba, malamang ang iba sa amin tumatanggap na ng labada sa mga oras na ito.

Be proud you are a teacher, the FUTURE of KOREA depends on you! -- asteg!!!! Tulog na ako. Baka Di ko pa mapacheck sa bisor ko bukas ang mga exam papers ko pag na-late ako!

I'm working behind closed doors.Don

I've got a strong personality and cocky aura, but please don't misjudge me. I ain't working in there to compete with everyone. If there's someone I'm competing with and someone I want to win over, that's me, not anyone else. If you think I'm a kiss-ass, you're wrong, I have some devilish ways to break some rules. I just know when to meet my tasks and do my dues. No one is above anyone. You're words and prejudices might just thrown into waste coz I only got one way to vent it out, THIS! I wont fight you back coz I'm working behind closed doors, just like everybody else. Don't waste too much of your time talking about me, you're just adding a feather on my hat. You're just pushing me so hard to do better, and the next thing you'll know is that your heads are on my plate. To those people who wanted verbal-war, I won't buy it. That's too cheap to consider. If students like the way I teach, don't tell them I ain't good. Coz you're jsut confusing yourself the standard of what is good and what is not. Mind your own business. My style is something you can't change. The way I dress is something I dont bear to prove that I had gained so much confidence from the places I've been to or from the places I worked in. I never missed to become a kind-hearted neophyte in this craft. I have reached out to those who raised their eyebrows at me. I have shared my smile to a lot. I can only do so much, what about you? what can you do?
