Bulkachong, hinalang, non air atbp


Halos hindi na nahintay ng mga mata ko ang tunog ng alarm clock ko, kusa itong nagmulat at nabuhay ang diwa ko.. alas tres na ng umaga, in 30min kelangang makaalis na ako.. habang natutulog pa ang kuya kong, maghahatid sa akin sa airport, tumayo na ako para maligo.. exited na ako, na kinakabahan na ewan..

Ayan na ang oras ng pag-alis: tanong naman ako sa kuya ko kung anong ggawin sa loob ng airport, kung saan pupunta, you know.. things that I should know.. huh! Baka magpashonga shonga ako dun, kakahiya.. sabi ng kuya ko, basta sundan mo lng ang mga tao, magtanong ka kung di mo alam..

Habang nakapili, nagmamasid na ako sa mga tao kung anong ginagawa nila. Magaling naman akong magpretend, kunyaring sanay na ko.. patingin tingin, Buti na lng un babae sa harapan ko e sa davao din ang punta.. yes! Ok na to, sa loob loob ko.. kung saan sya nagpunta, pumunta din ako.. Kaya kahit yung bag ko na pedeng hindi na I-baggage, e na baggage rin, (dun kase nagpunta un babae e) Go with the flow pa rin ako, finally nakarating naman ako sa seat ko.. sayang, wala ako sa tapat ng bintana.. di ko makikita masyado ang view sa ibaba.. hay.

After 1 ½ hour, nasa davao na ko.. ang layo ko na sa manila. Good thing is may team naman kami sa davao, hindi nga lang nila ako maaassist sa job, kase may iba silang project.
Huwaw, ibang place na to, nakakatuwa talaga.. kakaexcite. Parang gusto kong tumambling..
Una kong natuklasan sa davao, ang mga taxing non-air kung tawagin.. Ito ang mga taxi na walang aircon, 26 pesos plus 1 peso kada patak ng metro.. San ka pa ang mura diba.. Unlike manila, kahit aircon, pakiramdam mo walang aircon.. Buti naman, mura ang taxi sa Davao..

Dahil hindi pa ako nagbbreakfast, dumaan muna kami sa isang kainan, Bulkachong ang tawag sa restaurant na ito.. Nagseserve sila ng “kalabaw”. Nu kayang lasa nun..? Di pa ko nakatikim ng kalabaw.. Sabi nila, kelangang matikman ko daw yun. So kahit hindi ako kumakain ng may sabay tuwing breakfast, napilitan ako.. Ang pagkaing bulkachong ay parang bulalo, maraming sabaw, at gumuguhit ang anghang sa lalamunan, paghinigop.. halos tumulo ang sipon ko sa anghang. Tinatawag din itong hinalang. Masarap naman.. ok ang lasa, mahilig naman ako sa maanghang.. (to be continued)

Here`s your ticket....

Mag-aalas singko na ng hapon, wala pa rin akong natatanggap na confirmation kung seryoso nga silang ipadala ako sa davao, at yun ay ikinatuwa ko ng lihim..
Kase naman nun malaman ko na ako lng pala mag-isa ang pupunta don, aba nanghina ako, hindi kaya ng powers ko un.. new job, new environment… what`s new.. waaahh..
Sa kabila ng pagkabusy ko sa, testing na ginagawa naming sa paranaque MSC, ang isip ko ay abala rin sa panalangin na sana ay hindi ako matuloy at iba na lamang ang ipadala nila, gusto ko na ngang ilabas ang novena booklet ko, pero sa isang saglit lang, nagring ang telepono ng isa ko pang boss.. Matapos nyang makipag-usap ay nakangiting syang nakatingin sa akin, para sabihin may ticket ka na to davao, daan ka muna office para kunin.. gusto ko sanang maglaho na lang bigla, bakit hindi dininig ang panalangin ko, nangingilid na ang luha ko sa mata, pilit kong itinatago.. Kunyaring exited pero sa kabila nito napapamura na ako sa malas.. malas talaga.. Big job for a beginner.
Nagmamadali akong nagtungo sa opisina para kunin ang ticket at syempre ang orientation.. Wala na akong magagawa kaya, sige na nga.. Davao here I come.. Konting orientation sa office kung anong mga gagawin, gate pass for some sites.. Hay kakapagod, 8pm na, I`m still at makati, para sa mga ilang bagay na kakailanganin ko sa survey.. Ang flight ko ay 5am in the morning.. Wala pa akong nakaprepare na gamit.. Halos hindi na ako nakatulog, nagshift ang mode ko, naging excited.. First time ko ba namang sasakay sa airplane, tapos ako lang mag-isa.. “first time mo?” First time ko lahat…….. (to be continued)

What really matters…

I love traveling.. mahilig kase ako sa kung anu anong adventure.. pero right now, nagdadalawang isip ako. Pag natuloy na ang pagtatravel ko, may mag-eend naman na gusting gusto ko rin gawin.. pilit kong pagsabayin, pero parang hindi ko yata kaya.. and it really breaks my heart.
Hay, medyo malungkot na topic to, next time ko na lang ilalahad.. adventures ko muna sa davao.. bwehehehehehehe

I’ve no choice, but to go…

Recently we’re doing ericsson project at paranaque-cavite.. The allotted time for us to finished it is just four days, pero dahil maraming delay inabot ng one week ang installation namin.. we only have 3hrs to configure it and link it.. pero dahil talagang luck was not on our side, gabi na hindi pa rin kami tapos, hanggang umabot ng one week..
Nakakaexhaust na, nakakapagod… lahat na ginawa naming para maisolate ang problema, pero wala pa rin… Eventually, after a long sleepless nights, nakakita rin ng liwanag… Frequency assignment pala problema, pati transmit power.. nakakaloka ang project na ito. Paroon at parito kami, from one site to another. Kung akyatin ng mga riggers ang tower, parang isang palapag na lang ito ng building. Kahit umuulan pakiramdam naming, mainit pa rin.. wala na kaming maramdaman, ang tanging nais naming ay mapagana ito, whatever it takes..
Pero bago masolusyunan ang problema, one of my bosses talked to me about the new project.. that is site survey, at DAVAO… what??!! DAVAO??!! Hesitant talaga ako, pero marami naman kami, kaya ok lang.. then when we’re settling it, aba biglang ako lang ang magpupunta, dahil isa lang daw ang gusto ng smart.. At ako ang pinapapunta nila.. Darn, ayoko nga.. I’m new with that work, tapos pag-iisahin nila ako.. wahhhh, mangiyakngiyak na ako. I don’t wanna go, really..i’m new with the work, new with the place…
Pero wala naman akong magawa, inorient nila ako ng 30min, imagine 30minutes lang… I tried to convince one of them pero walang effect.. Kaya ko daw un.. wahh there’s a lot of things running on my head that time.. Pag umalis na ako it would be the start of the journey.. and the end of the other journey.. nakakalungkot isipin.. bahala na…

I'm back for awhile

Sa wakas nakapag internet din ako. Pakiramdam ko ang isang dekada na akong hindi nakakasulyap sa bahay ko.. ang mga muwebles ko ay puno na ng alikabok pinaglumaan na ang mga entry.. Hindi ko alam kung sa aking pangsumandaliang pagbabalik ay makilala pa ako ng mga kapitbahay ko..

Sa pag-kawala ko, nagbago din configuration ng time ko at buhay. Sa umaga gigising ng maaga para pumasok, uuwi ng gabi, kakain, kwentuhan with the team at tulog na.. ganon ulit kinabukasan.. Unlike before, no responsibility at all. ngayon kahit ayaw mo, hindi pwede..

Nagulat ang lahat pagbalik ko, hindi na yata nila mapigurahan kung sino ako.. nagtransform daw ako.. to make it clear naging nognog ako, as in super itim, sunog ang balat.. kung dati rati ay sa opisina lang ako, at puro pag bblog ang ginagawa, at hindi naarawan, kabaligtaran ngayon.. but i enjoy it a lot, full of adventure..

Dumaan ako sa bahay na ito para madalaw din ang lahat... Sa susunod na lang ang iba pang kwento, at mga pics na rin.. kamusta na kaya kayo?? Dalaw muna ako sa inyo...

Break up letter

Sa pag hahalungkat ko ng mga papel sa kwarto ko, nakita ko ang isang sulat... Sulat para sa Ex-bf ko... 4yrs ago. With the help of my friend mia, kaya napaganda pa ang letter na ito..

When we first met I had doubts if you were serious with me, especially when I received a letter from someone warning me about you. But when you courted me, I got to know you. Each time the phone rang I always prayed that it would be you, it felt so good knowing that you’re calling. Your voice really soothed me. I never knew when and how it started it just happened. I realized then that I was falling in love with you. And I suddenly don’t know how to stop. I never expected that it is possible for me to love someone as deeply as I loved you.

When we started our relationship, I told you “I’ll take the risk and be prepared for the pain and struggle that will come our way.” And they did come our way, they came in different packages, some little pains and some big hurts. I can say we were able to struggle together and conquer though not all of them. What we often ignored was the way it left scars in the relationship and our lack of interest to repair it. I used we and our, because I know that building and holding on a relationship should always be a double effort….. by YOU and ME. But at any given point, I never saw that in you…

My most recent pain was the last time you didn’t talk to me for almost a moth. It came as a bomb to me when I was finally able to reach your friend and she made it appear to me that you wanted out from our relationship without you telling me firsthand. But you see.. I didn’t give up then. I even sought the help of my friend Mia to reach you for us to work it all out. You never knew how devastated I was then. When we finally saw each other…we never talked about how I felt about it, neither yours. You even made me feel that what you did was just a justification of my actions because I’d been a naughty girl…because I did not listen to you. I tried to tell you how I felt but you weren’t interested to know. I was waiting for you to tell me about what you have said to Mia but you didn’t. I was so much prepared to listen.

We both pretended everything was all right. But it wasn’t Proof is what happened thereafter…until now. We never gained back the kind of communication we used to have. The kind of respect we had for each other. You might be unaware of it (I’m not really sure ‘bout that) but you completely shut me off. You abandoned me beyond my wildest imagination. I felt like a rugdoll left in a corner completely forgotten. I kept on wondering if I still have somebody to care for me, hold me…and love me. And my big question until now is DO I?

I realized in the end that what’s happening to me is so unfair…and that I don’t deserve this. Nobody does as a matter of fact. Not even my Yaya. And I think it’s unfair for both of us…clinging to a non-existent relationship. In my dreams perhaps.

I may still have so much love to give for you, Oscar. But it seems that you don’t want me to. I can’t say that we need space from each other. Right now the gap we have stretch all through the Great Wall of China.

But please do believe me that I don’t feel pissed about you. I'm fine now. I don't know how I survived it. Maybe I just know that I have to. Maybe you prepared me all through the course of our almost two year relationship. Or maybe i had to understand that we're not just meant to be... maybe not for now. Because I know that if I'm going to meet another Oscar in the near future i will still be falling inlove with that Oscar because you're worth falling for. You're even worth the pains accompanying it. I don't regret all the hurt I felt in the past, at least I had you. Having you was enough consolation for me.

I can't ignore the fact that you made me feel cared for, protected, and loved. The duration of our friendship was not all sorrows....a lot of times you made me happy. In fact, if i'm going to look back and reminisce the past all i'm going to remember about you, are the good things you made me feel and those are not just a handful. Those were accumulated in boxes that can fill my whole room: the times when you would lay me down on your lap because I'm to tired from school, your gentle strokes on my hair to help me nap, the times we talked on the phone for hours no end, the times you get mad at me because I didn't have lunch.

I'll miss all those things... I'll never regret that I met you... got to know you... your dreams, ambitions, your deepest aspirations. I'm thankful that you were there with me when i was depressed, troubled, tired and of course, when I was happy.

I will forever be thankful that I had you and that I fell in love with...
...because you're a wonderful person...and you will always be for me. You deserve all the happiness in the world.

And more than anything else... I'll be here....for you... for always

For my bestfriend

Pag nasamood ako, yan nakakapagsulat ako ng mga ganyang bagay.. some of it might be gramatically wrong, but i wrote it with all my heart.. (corny, hekhekhek)
Circumstances are really not on your side
And it makes you feeble..
It is as if you’re in a brink and you’re about to fall
No one was there to rescue you
Your body is falling
And you can do nothing about it
As u fall on the precipice
Wounds, cuts, lesion and bruises are getting in to your body
When you reached the bottom
You were paralyzed, can’t budge your body
Even your soul was dented
The throe was so intense that you can’t bear it
Suddenly your place was so murky
You see a soul but you’re not able to distinguish
And you lose consciousness

That single soul was so anxious and vexed
Because she was sentient of the incident
When you’re about to fall
She came running to the point of losing her breath
Unfortunately, she was not able to catch you
She cried a river, and she blames herself
For not being there when you fall
But then she realized that there’s no room for it
She has to be brawny and strong
For the soul that fall from a brink
She lifts the body and put it in her lap
Trying to alleviate the twinge in your soul
She furnish the strength that she all have
To regain your strength
She was weeping, and praying
Asking for Him to give back your existence
Because she knows that she can never live a life
Without your existence
And that single soul is
Your very BEST FRIEND….

Driving without licence???

Matagal na pala akong hindi nakakapagblog.. Medyo busy, at dahil na rin sa laging down ang “smart wi-fi” sa office.

Yesterday I got my new drivers licence, “student” again. 5 years na yata akong may student permit.. pang 3rd ko na ito. Not because hindi ako nakakapasa sa non-pro. Tamad lang akong kumuha, kaya laging naeexpire ang student licence ko.
At kung hindi pa dahil baka magkaroon ng service sa office, baka hanggang ngayon tamarin pa rin akong ayusin ang licence ko..
Matagal na akong pinapakuha ng mga kuya ko, dahil nga hindi ako makapagdrive ng ako lng. Kahit gusting gusto kong magdrive, ayaw ng mga kuya kase wala daw akong licence. Minsan napipilit ko naman sila, pero 98% na hindi. Kaya ang alam ko, hindi pa talaga ako pwedeng magdrive mag-isa, kase kulang sa practise. Madalas akong pagalitan pag ako ang nagdidrive, ang bilis ko daw tapos hindi raw ako marunong tumingin.. Kakainis talaga pag nagdidrieve ka tapos ang katabi mo ang bunganga ay halos nasa tenga mo na. Sa halip na matuto ka at magawa ang tama, lalo kang matataranta.
Hanggang sa dumating ang araw na napatunayan kong marunong na akong mag-isa. Martes ng hapon, tumawag ang kaibigan ko, na nakabili ng sasakyan naming, ewan ko ba kung bakit naisipan nya agad bumili, e walang kaalam alam sa pag didrive, clutch nga hindi nya alam.. Kaya ako ang pinagdiskitahan nya. Pinilit akong ipagdrive sya sa libis, ako naman itong si “full of adventure” na tao, oo naman ako. Basta, walang maingay sa bahay. Nung una ayaw ko, kase bukod sa wala akong licence, coding pa.. patong patong na violation na yan kung mahuli. Dahil sa pamimilit nya, at excited din ako.. Sige go tayo basta 7pm ang alis, para wala ng coding..
Ayan na, pati sasakyan ng kapit bahay nya nadrive ko kase nakahara sa drive way.. whew! Sabi ko pag 3times namatay ang makina, uwi na lang kami, kase baka kung saang lupalop kami pulutin.. Wow, grabe, isang lane lang talaga ako, no breaking the red light. Hay kakakaba pala. Parehas pa kaming geographically idiot. Sadyang pinagpala lng talaga kami, at walang masamang nangyari.. isa lng, nagpark ako ng paatras, wah! Medyo dumikit ang bumper.. Pero ok lng, dati ng may gasgas ang bumper.. hay, ang galing ko ng magdrive.. At walang kaalam alam ang mga tao sa bahay na marunong na akong mag-isa.. bwahahahaha.
Kaya naulit ng naulit ang pag didrive ko ng walang licence.. Nakakakaba, pero ngayon good girl na ako.. may licence na ako… sarap ng feeling, walang kaba pag nagdidrive..
Ang bait nga nun mga tao sa LTO (balic balic), kase yun expired ko na licence naka offline pala nun inapply ko sa province, kaya back to requirements daw ako.. nyah, kukuha pa ako ng birth certificate?? Buti naawa yun isa, pinafill-up na lng ako ng bagong form, tapos hinihingan ako ng picture (part of the requirements) pero wala akong picture.. Dahil na rin siguro mukhang desperado na ako sa licence kaya pinagbigyan pa rin nila ako.. yahoo..
