Life Goes On

…and now, am competing against my senior engineer with the predictor game. Funny, the guys at Germany are so happy to know me and my senior engineer are so addicted to soccer… I hope I win against him, hahaha!

Kasi ayun ang senior engineer ko, out na at tumatakbo na puntang Greenbelt para manood ng World Cup, habang ako ay naghihintay pa ng oras para matapos ang shift ko… Inggit ako!

i was surprised to see this on the website that my bf gave me this evening. i love pocahontas... and i still do! and now, avatar shows resemblance to pocahontas?!?! interesting!

This afternoon, I boarded a bus on my way to the office. Recently, I have been enjoying more the long drive rather than the faster way to get to Makati . So there, I seated at the farthest seat of the bus when I heard somebody called me: “Ate Cy!” Two seats away from me, I saw her, Cheche. I am not sure though if she’s still called with that name, for I had been using that name when she was still in grade school, and now, she’s also working. When she got off from the bus at the MRT station, it made me realize a thing: “am I really that old now?” Cheche is such a beautiful, working young lady, when the last time we had talked, she was in grade school and I was a sophomore I think, sixth grade to be exact, and told me they were moving to Manila for good. Not only her, last Holy Week, my cousin introduced someone to me: Rose Anne. She is now a college student! How time flies, she was that little, crybaby in Kindergarten before, and now she’s...

Mula nung Lunes, tamad na tamad ako, Well, may rason naman nung mga nagdaang 3 araw kung bakit: sa di malamang kadahilanan, hinahapo ako sa loob ng 3 araw. Hapo na matutulad ko sa mga pinagdadaanan ko nung 2 taon pa lang ako, di makahinga at masakit ang dibdib. As a brief background, opo, may sakit ako sa puso. Pero sabi sa akin nung 12 taon na ko, okay na ko, wala na dapat ipangamba. Pero, bakit ngayon, after 15 years, nararamdaman ko na naman ang mga sintomas na pinaka-ayoko. Kaya, takot man ako, kelangan ko na namang pumunta sa klinika ng cardiologist sa Sabado. Anyway, tama na ang usapan tungkol sa puso ko, kasi natatakot na naman ako. Ngayon naman, tamad pa din ako, pagkat inaantok ako dahil sa gamot na ininom ko para sa sakit ng ngipin. Opo, pangalawang reklamo ko ang ngipin ko. Oh well, kasalanan ko naman ito. Sabi ng dentist ko, suotin ang retainers NANG WALANG PALYA sa loob ng 3 buwan tapos ay check up ako ulit, pero 1 linggo ko lang sinuot ang retainers at tinambak na sa loob...

... but sadly, even the nearest destination has a corresponding fare! Anyway, just want to share the random things I wrote in my companion notebook for the last two days... *I realized that I need that book called "1001 Pitfalls in German". That book that I kept on ignoring at Powerbooks! Jetzt, habe ich neuen Grund zur (nach?) Powerbooks bald besuchen! *Germany left me so disappointed yesterday! Was passiert DE? *What's happening to the environment? Last night, I saw LANZONES and DALANDAN (seasonal fruits in the Philippines, which normally are for October and December respectively) along the sidewalks of MUNOZ MARKET. * DXL774 , Greenstar Bus, PLEASE CHECK YOUR BUS AND FIX WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED! Smoke belcher to the nth power!!! - I'm serious on this one. Who should I call to report smoke belchers?

Two days ago, while I was so bored in a bus, I thought of something educational (for me) to do. The idea came to me when I saw this sign (not the actual photo, I was not fully equipped that night to capture the photo inside the bus, with me was only my calculator-like-cherry mobile phone and my old gen ipod nano) by the bus's door: Then, I thought, "why not learn my German through the streets?" So, I tried to translate that to German. Here are some SUDDEN thoughts when I attempted to translate it inside the bus: >> Keine Verk�ufer erlaubt! And I just realized now the other way to put it into German language, I just don't know if this statement is grammatically correct: >> Hier darf man nicht verkaufen! Having said that, I realized one thing: ICH MUSS AUF DEUTSCH DENKEN! As much as I wanted to pursue the language as soon as possible, there are a lot of hindrances, such as: 1. Goethe's Saturday class for A2 will be on August till November (too long!). 2....

...which leaves me now with nothing to write again.This afternoon, I was filled with thoughts, but sadly, all my blogs are not allowed at work, so I just conditioned myself and said "later, you can write it all." But the result was not how I expected it to be... I cannot remember the reason why I wanted to blog in the first place... ... I just hope that the games tonight at the World Cup would be towards me... Rupert is someone to beat at this time!

these past few days i felt so depressed and almost gave up... i even chose not to report for work for days, i got sick by simply thinking on what's been going on in my life... it was not that easy... funny i even thought of resigning for good... but then i realized, it won't help me... so now, am going back to work... pick up the pieces and go on... thanks to my love for always being there to help me out in my life... without his help, i don't know where i am now... am so glad i met him in my life...

i was thinking of changing this site totally into our site... but then, there would be a lot of changes to be done... so i decided to create a different one... so there! the link to our site is: http://uwecy.multiply.com of course, it's still under construction so expect very little things in there... till next time!

Dear Mr.____, This is not yet formal though, I just want to ask some thing that could help me come up with the decision. We are all aware about my 2-year contract with you, however, in the recent days, I noticed my work load is becoming less and less. I am wondering maybe, you are already considering an early termination of my contract? You don't have to worry, I will be fine with that. No hurtful feelings. All I want to ask as a favor from you relating to this early termination is to write a letter (an email will do) to my immediate manager here, Ms._________, and inform her that you want to reduce the number of your representative here in my country. And also please include that whatever amount is left unpaid due to this early termination of my contract, will be waived (I think this is normal, for I will be terminated, not a voluntary resignation, though in a way is the same because I am asking for this early termination right now) and that my service will only be good until the ...

best lesson i have learned the hard way... i always have that tendency to speak what's on my mind when i am irritated, mad, angry, excited, and any other extreme emotions... the last time was yesterday... that one line that changed everything in my life... one line that brought karma into me... i should have think first before i said anything yesterday, no matter how mad i was... and now, damage had been done... i cannot get back the words said... the hurtful words uttered... the promises made... i just ruined everything... i wish there's still  a way to mend the wounds made by my sharp words... i wish there's still a chance to change the promises made and create a more humane, and happy one... i never really want to be alone... maybe yesterday i was, but not for the rest of my life... i wish i can still correct all the wrong things and words i've said... but i think everything's too late... ... and i just feel so wasted that it makes me so sick...

i was checking on the latest posts by my blogger friends till i got to bianx 's (naks! close?)  latest post. while reading it, i told myself, wow! "sakto!" i myself is in a long distance relationship for 1 year and 5 months now to be exact... i thought everything is going on smoothly between us... till just recently, we were hit by a terrible test of love... as his date of vacation approaches, i too have mixed emotions... excitement... happiness... fear... fear that lead to something he never expected, which i myself didn't expect from myself as well... i had petty fight with my mom this weekend, which ended with my sudden outburst of "i don't want to go to Germany! nor to any country in particular!" mom was shocked, and me as well. she asked if there is problem between me and U, i said no, the only reason is her. being an only child, i think it is normal that we fear of losing our parents... i have that fear, that if i go and settle in Germany, i...

here's a summary of what had transcend the whole week, which i think, each deserve an individual blog, but i feel lazy to write one... 1. my best friend would be coming back home from the Caribbean! Cayman Island to be exact... do i smell lotsa party at Lipa City again?!?! 2. we are still grieving for the lost of a good friend... and i kinda wonder now how life would be for us in the theater... 3. the employees' turn over in our team is alarming! resignation letters come one after the other... latest one: a good friend of mine, a chemist as well.. and she's barely 6 months with us... so sad... 4. it's june, and the rainy season had already begun... goodbye Mr. Sun, hello wonderful rain... though i hate it when it suddenly pours while i'm waiting for my ride to work, i look so "kaawa" even if my day has barely started... 5. kinda wondering as early as now how i am gonna start my life in Germany... time moves fast, it's catching up...

I first met her in the year of 1998, that was also the first time that I got really involved in any Church activity. She's the one who never fails to smile to everybody. She's a sister for all. The best friend for some. Always ready with advices. You can call her anytime of the day just to cry. I could not remember how many times I cried on her shoulder. She never fails to understand. And no matter how bad you feel, everything will be lighter in the end, after speaking with her. She's the sister I never had. Ever since I knew her, I knew she's special. She had heart by-pass long ago. You can see the scar by her chest. Even if her heart sometimes fails on her, she never fails to LOVE. She loves us. We are all her siblings. Their house is always open for us. Morning till night, we can run to her for advices, we can even sleep there. She's also gifted with a gift of healing, she can remove the pains and ailing with just a touch of her caring hands. Sadly, she cannot ...

while waiting for the caffeine in my system to subside, here are some random thoughts on my mind: - i've been addicted to the GG book series recently (am i that late bloomer?) though i've seen the series not that much, i guess i need to do a marathon... hmmm, maybe my vacation on september with U would be good time to do the marathon? - i traveled back to my high school days through my mind and i realized one thing: i am blair, and karen was serena... she's the head turner, laid back person and i am a little serious and MEAN towards her... how many times did we actually fought and i was so sure i can turn my back on her forever, but she never did... and what more? we also had our "nate"... how i miss those days... and funny, i screwed up at "Yale U" as well (not really Yale, it's actually UP,haha!)... - i'm feeling bored with facebook, and just out of boredom, i reset my password at myspace and friendster (yes, i still have those dormant acco...

… I was on first year in high school… … I almost didn’t make it for the school year because of my health condition… … I had a service going to the school… … I was still wearing lumbar braces to correct my scoliosis… sadly, it didn’t help… … Our classroom was on the first floor, same floor and room I had when I was in first grade (seriously!)… … I kept a diary wherein one key is with my best friend… … I and my best friend fought that lasted for a month or two… … I used the Johnson’s baby cologne heaven scent… … I ate mango for breaks and donut for lunch… … I finally knew how it felt not to be part of the students with honors just because I suck in Math (it didn’t change, anyway)… … I had a friend who treated me as her best friend but I cannot treat her back as a best friend, she was just a friend for me, just lik...

…says the shirt that I got from Goethe Institut this afternoon. As per my teacher in 1.2, that shirt is given to those who passed the exam with flying colors. And yes, the wait is over, I got my certificate, I can apply for Visum anytime, I PASSED THE START DEUTSCH 1 exam!   But I cannot apply yet, I still have contract with my company. I need to finish this contract first before I step forward. With this certificate at my hand, other things started to pile on my mind. There is the feeling of fear and excitement. Fear that I will not survive in Germany . Fear that I will be leaving the things I get used to behind and excitement that I will be treading a path totally new for me. I just hope all will go well with me and my family.   I love the weather today. The sun is up, but it’s not scorching hot. I was able to walk around Salcedo Village without opening my umbrella. The wind seems cool at my skin. I can smell the coming of rainy days. And the weather ...

 i'm ALWAYS pissed off... just like tonight... as much as possible that i don't want to sound so rude towards my mom, i just can't help it. am so irritated... my brows tend to meet. i'm very difficult to please...in fact, it is like NOTHING PLEASES ME... i'm starting to hate everyone equally... seems like no one takes me seriously... could all these be due to the hot weather? or could this be some sort of hormonal imbalance? i don't know, all i know is i don't want to listen to anyone. :(

I don't know if this thing I am doing helps... I was only about to update my iPod, but then, my iTunes is not cooperating... So there, I ended up with old songs, and now, listening to Radio FFN. Even if I don't really understand the ads and the DJ, I decided to stay tuned longer than planned. I suddenly missed Germany, to the extent that I am teary-eyed now. I miss Germany so much that I want to be there right now, as in NOW NA! How I wish Germany is just out there, just a bus away, but it isn't, and the fare is way expensive for me to visit it anytime I want. I had my performance appraisal today as well. My senior engineer seems to be planning a new training for me, to make me more efficient, yes, there's too little work load for me. It is good plan, for it includes of course going back to Germany, but I guess I would have to decline when it comes. I want to be in Germany for good, not just a month or two. There are a lot of places in Germany that I want to see, th...

It has been 16 years since i last saw and ate this fruit. I remember in 4th grade,we get these from the tree at the convent. I call it Philippine apple,but of course it is not. I missed it so much! Thanks to my couz for bringing me these from their backyard. Makopa, anyone?

Early this morning, I headed to precinct to cast my votes. There are pro’s and con’s, as always, with this new system. As expected, the predicted “fast” system turned out to be slower than the old system. We cannot blame it though to the system. I watched and timed the PCOS machine when I submitted my ballot, it was fast, it was around 35 seconds before it said “Congratulations!...” Now, some may ask, why then are the lines so long this time? Some had complained standing there since 6 in the morning and just finished at around 8 in the morning. It is because, I think, and this is only in my opinion; there is a need for more COMELEC officials in the precinct. In our place alone, they merged 5 precincts, each with around 180-200 voters, and the officials were just 4. Only one officer hands the ballots and watches/ helps the voters with the PCOS machine. Three of them searches for the names of the voters on the list and applies the indelible ink. It was disaster in that part. But the auto...

i never expected this election to be so much fun. despite the failure found on the last days before the election, the automated election was still a success. it was difficult, but as the day went by, naayos naman lahat. though some places encountered last minute failures with the PCOS machine, and some have to stay for 5 hours falling in line just to cast their votes, the wait was all worth it. here are some funny wits taken from this recently concluded election, truly, filipinos can find ways to laugh despite all the mishaps: 1. @PCOSmachine created a twitter account! better check him out, he's so funny, i mean, it is so funny, machine nga pala sya, not a human. 2. together with @PCOSmachine is @cfcard, and PCOS is blaming cfcard for all the failures, ang kulet lang! 3. funny tag line I read from my cousin's first hand experience: "san ga nagpapalagay ng INCREDIBLE INK?".. turned out that this old lady at San Jose have a counterpart at Lipa, a guy, as mentioned b...

In few hours the fate of the country would change. Would it be for the better or for the worse? Everything depends in our hands. Vote for someone who understands the meaning of selfless caring and unconditional service to people. Politics is about service, not some form of business. Don't let your dignity be compromised. In the national level, I personally think it is Gordon who got the best resume for this position, therefore, he is my president. All the rest would be staggered choice from all parties. You are a person with dignity and pride, YOU ARE NOT FOR SALE! Vote wisely! The country depends in you...

April 28, 1998: I received a call from a friend in the seminary. The youth camp is scheduled on the 1st of May until 3rd of May at a remote beach resort in Batangas. I was only 14 years old then. Even if I also have the waiver at hand, I was so afraid to ask permission from home. Mom was not around then, she went to the hospital to get your results. You saw the worry on my face, you took the phone and talked to Bro. I saw you seriously talking with him, and then you winked and handed me back the phone. I smiled after saying bye to Bro. That was also the last vivid smile I saw from you. April 29, 1998: You could hardly stand up from bed. You said it was just the "normal" arthritis attack. I bought that statement, but mom didn't. You asked me if I had given the waiver to mom to sign, you just know how afraid I am of Mom. Mom hesitated to sign at first, but you told her, "let her explore the world outside of this house and of her school, give her the gift of independe...

… your best friend since fourth grade was gone for quite sometime, no not sometime, but for such a long time. And after years being gone, he’s back with a news. Such a breaking news… and that news entails about a change in his personality you’ve known for 17 years: He’s GAY…   What would your reaction be?   If you’re going to ask me, my initial reaction was LAUGHTER AND TEARS. I don’t know how to respond correctly.   Luckily, everything was a JOKE.   Bwisit na chaboy yan!

Hosseini succeeded on whatever he had on his mind when he wrote this great book. I may be tagged as a “late bloomer” for only being able to read this book just now, but I don’t think it has something to do with the time one reads this. And after reading this, I will definitely read this over and over again. Set in the old Afghanistan , it clearly pictured how beautiful the country of Afghanistan was, and how happy people are. I had a little immersion on the lives of our Muslims brethrens, and how some does not really live up based on the Koran, but are living according to what they know is right and just. I guess that’s the best thing in the world. Regardless of what religion one has, the important thing is that everyone understands and knows the difference between right and wrong. Frequent bows for prayer are not everything. To be the best person, one must learn how to humble himself, regardless of the statute, regardless of the ancestry. The Lord (Allah for some, or Jehovah, or Yah...

thought i heard you knocking by my window... or was it a pebble to catch my attention... i immediately leaped and run to see you... and smile as i see thy hair flow... i smiled as i watch people along the streets walking through you and smile bet it's not only i who missed you but there are millions of us that do... how i wish you'd stay longer pamper me with sweet sound of you as you trickle down and sing me songs to lay me down to sweet slumber... how i wish i can feel you more with the cold air touching me giving me the joy and relaxation that i have missed for so long... oh my dear rain, please stay pour down and water these poor souls let us be free from all the heat and pain let us be able to dance with you again... -me talking to the first drops of rain of Summer-

I love books. I find happiness reading them. I feel more like myself when I am surrounded with books, regardless of their themes, or who wrote them. Books are my life. If given a chance, I want to work in a bookstore; there I would be surrounded by books most of my time. I would then be in heaven.   Despite numerous of unread books at home, I always cannot go out of Powerbooks store without any book at hand, even if the main reason I went inside is to check on their latest book acquisition. And leaving the store is the hardest part of all. For all the books I so dream of having are all there.

Here I go again with a lot of things I wanna do in my life. Latest want: Masters in Human Resource Management!   I checked on the website of UST regarding this curriculum, however, there is this certain prerequisite subjects that I did not have during my college days even if I am from UST as well. These subjects are only given at Faculty of Arts and Letters, I think. So that’s the only thing that is hindering me to pursue it, for I do not have ample time to attend these classes with regular students of AB… I wonder if this curriculum can be taken at any VHS (Volkshochschule) in Germany , however, I also want to take Germanistic Studies.   So many things I want to do. I just don’t know which way to go. L

i hate this weekend... i dunno what made me feel such, could it be this hot weather? or there really is some reason to be pissed off to the nth level. i have to drive to batangas tomorrow after conditioning my mind that i won't be traveling this week. i got all plans set for tomorrow, now all has gone to waste. another thing is that i feel like i'm always last on his list. and it feels so bad... :'(

even if i still got 10 months and 29 days to go before my contract ends, i'm already dreaming of that day when i am out of my contract for real, strolling along the streets of Biebergemünd, flying to Köln and Berlin...  go visit princess ody at Wien... so many things in mind, yet, the time is so far away... for before i can do all those stuff, i need to be out of my bond first, and of course, carry a certification that i can actually understand their language, granted they'll speak slow, (and when i say slow that means sssssssssslllllllloooooooooowwwwwwwwwww). but even if i dream alot for those days in Deutschland, i still get overwhelmed when job starts to pile in front of me. i dunno, i'm not a workaholic type of person, in fact, i'm all set to leave the office right on the dot, and i hate working on weekends. but when they put a lot of work in front of me (but spare me from 20-page or more of German reports PLEASE!), i get excited to work, and i would always want ...

Ich bin so früh heute, so ich gehe erst zu Booksale, ein Buchladen mit gutes Angebot. Ich suche für Dean Koontz Buch „From the Corner of His Eye“ aber sie haben es nicht. Was finde ich dort ist andere. In ein Bücherbrett für Kinder, ich finde das (sehe das Foto). Ich hab nicht voll Titel in Foto weil dass wo die lustige Teil ist. Während bin ich in Buchladen, ich denke so oft was das letztes Wort meint. Aber mein Zeit ist nicht so viel, so habe ich das gekauft (es ist so selten, dass ich ein Deutsch Buch finde hier) und zum Zug laufe ich (noch mein Gedanke in Buch Titel). Bei MRT, ich sitze und lese, dann lache ich. Endlich, ich erriner mich was das Wort meint! Danke für das Foto am Seit 40,5 (zwischen Seit 40 und 41), ich erriner mich mein Vokabel. I do have a VERY POOR GERMAN VOCABULARY! And it gave me an endless laugh for getting this book that I don’t think I would need all my life, not even if I make a career change in the near future. Curious what I had bought? Die Buchtitel...

but am not... am still wide awake at 2:36 in the morning... the sleepy feeling is here, but i chose not to close my eyes... not yet... maybe in 10 minutes or so... it's been a while since i last wrote here... but it doesn't matter, for nothing significant happened in the past few days... only, the chance of U coming around slid a little further back due to volcanic eruption at iceland, but it's starting to slide forward today again having heard that some airports already opened... went with my family last saturday for a swim somewhere at san pablo city... of course, it's still at bato springs resort... but i didn't enjoy it... the water was so cold, freezing cold for me, and the maintenance was way too poor now compared to how it was years ago when we first discovered this hidden paradise... i just hope, well, desperately praying, that next year would be different, i hope we'd head to a different place next year... i am just not a real fan of bato springs re...

you're not lost, my dear friends. you are exactly at my site. some may have been wondering why i keep on changing the layout of my site. well, this is all for you as well. a good friend of mine (thanks, wheng! hope to read your blog soon as well...)told me that the past layout was painful to the eyes, so as soon as i got home, i searched for the best layout that will not strain your eyes, my dear readers, and at the same time, design that will speak on behalf of me. but my search was in vain. none exists yet that i can say is exactly me (but i think i used to have that layout before, but i seem to have lost it and i can't remember where to find it now. i'm pretty sure it was not from pyzam, i just don't know where to relocate it again.). and yes, my search is not yet over. maybe one of these days, you'll be surprised to see brand new layout again. oh, how i wish someone great would give me as a gift one best layout that can describe the real me: abstract/ random, ...

It's Sunday night once again, tomorrow's start of another work week. I hate it. I want to stay more here at home. I feel much, much better when I am home, and only see the people I so love to see. The office is composed of both interesting and uninteresting people, and the ambiance is becoming boring... Anyway, A2,1 is dissolved, I think. None of my former classmates are proceeding with the class, so this semester, it is possible that the level is out. I have decided, finally, to take the exam on the 24th of May. It is the best date, for it is holiday in Germany, then I do not need to hurry on my exams. I think God is giving me reasons to take the exams ASAP. There are a lot of out-of-town plans, on Saturday is for my Uncle's birthday celebration, and on the 29th of May would be with my German class classmates. I am so excited. This is the kind of out of town I so love to join in, activity wherein the people I would go with are people I love to be with, people that I kn...

The semester for A1.3 has finally ended. I finished the course with only 7 weeks attended out of the 12 weeks it ran. I feel like I wasted my money enrolling for that semester. Now, the question is, should I enroll for the next course, the second level (A2.1)? I ’ m afraid I might not be able to attend all sessions again. It is mainly because the time is in the morning. It is difficult to wake up at 6 in the morning on Saturday, when you got home as late as 1am from work. I am thinking of doing it all by myself, since, that ’ s how I coped up last semester, by self-study. I wonder why don ’ t they provide afternoon class on Saturday for someone like me.

Today is Philippines' legal holiday, and it is called Day of Valor. It reminds us of World War II incident wherein all males of the country, at least all, I am not sure with the numbers though, marched all the way to Bataan. A lot died along the way, due to thirst and hunger and violent death through Japanese bayonets. It was hell, it seems like Filipinos were marching to hell, and women are watching parade of men dragged to their death. It was hell, it was sad, it was painful to see. Today, we reminisce and give credits to all their sufferings for the people of the country. Wherever they may be, I'm sure they are all looking down on us with a smile. I just hope that the government would do their best to bring the country to the top again. It is the only way we can return the favors to our ancestors who fought for this freedom that we all experience. Let us not only remember the courageous and the virtuous on this day. Let everyday be an offering to the great men of Bataa...

Where am i heading my life to ? I don’t know. Ich mag nicht mehr als Chemikerin … als Ingeni e urin ich mag nicht auch... ich mag als Journalistin, ABER, ich wei ß nicht wie zu schreiben. I need some help, but I don´t know on which part of my life do I need the particular help. Everything just don´t fall into its right places. I want to get away from this mysterious Wonderland. I´ve been sleeping for so long …

For days, waking up and heading to the office seems to be a very difficult task for me. I always end up dragging myself out of bed and head for a bath . I have lost all my interests and motivation on this job. This all started after that meeting wherein I was left without any choice, of being a QMS representative. I remember back in HGST, I did the same thing, but unlike here, all my co-engineers work on their own documents, and have it controlled by themselves, but here, it ’ s surprising that all because we were assigned as QMS, they delegated everything on us. This is just crazy! As far as I know, if you have initiated one document, it ’ s your responsibility to have it updated when needed and re-apply for control at DCC. I hate it when I write articles/ documents and the name at the end isn ’ t my name. I mean, give credit to whoever it is due! On that article, my name ’ s only as a proofreader, NOT AS A CREATOR! You are old enough to know the meani...

how long had it been since I had this site updated, i cannot remember. it isn't my home now, multiply had gone away from my life...

I'm back! and I was gone for how many days? 5or 6? Anyway, I pampered myself for stress-free days at our province. Though first two days were still stressful, but it was fun! For the second time, I portrayed one important role in our annual Holy Week play. But sadly, I failed this year. Eventhough the result was not to my liking, I did had fun seeing old faces and meeting new faces. Indeed, Teatrong Kumot had been my second family. I missed them. I missed the old times, I missed the people. It seems like decades since we last laughed and shared stories. Some have gone to other countries, but it's heart warming to know that they still do remember us, and did their best to wake (even if it is kinda late at their side) and give us a call and send their good luck. I am not sure, but maybe this is the last year I will be portraying a role, and be with them physically. Soon, I will be like the others, felt only in spirit, for I will also be out of the country soon. Even if it's s...

Have you been to the Philippines, or at least had lived most of your life in this country? Have you experienced this event that I call "Circus"? I am talking not about the circus show that are normally seen on Fiesta, wherein they showcase rare, and out of this world talents.
