Mapagpasensya ka bang tao?

I am. =) Pasensyosa akong tao either towards things, events or people. Pero syempre, like anyone, may hangganan din naman. Wag lang abusuhin, wag lang sagarin. Minsan kasi may mga taong nanadya porke't alam nila na pagpapasensyahan mo sila or may mga bagay na wala na talagang patutunguhan or iuusad pa -- yan, yang yung mga instances na nauubos talaga pisi ko. Pero, yes, generally, I am patient. =)

Go, shoot! =D

Paano kung isang araw ay mawala sa'yo ang taong pinahahalagahan mo? Kakayanin mo ba?

Bigat nun ah.... Mahirap kayanin. Mahirap mag-move on. Several months siguro or several years. But I guess, I will have no choice but to overcome the loss. Pero syempre, lahat naman yata tayo pinagdarasal na hindi mawala yung mga taong important sa atin. Kung mawala man, sana hindi biglaan. Sana hindi rin in a painful way.

Go, shoot! =D

Pano ka magalit?

Naku, depende. Minsan di ako iimik, minsan raratratin kita. Minsan silent tears, minsan I bawl. I can forgive in minutes, I can forgive in years. Basta I forgive... but I never forget.

Go, shoot! =D

Are you content with your life?

A bit. I still need to find a stable job. I want to settle down and have a family of my own. Don't get me wrong, even if I'm just a bit contented, I am happy. <3 I believe that's what's important. =)

Go, shoot! =D

Ano ang pinakaayaw mong ugali?

Inconsiderate. User. Untrustworthy. Unfaitful.

Go, shoot! =D

Are you loyal to your partner?

Super! =) Since I want him to be loyal to me, it's just but right that I be loyal to him too. =)

At hindi ba yun naman ang tama at dapat? =D

Go, shoot! =D

Will you go out with me? ;-)

It depends who you are. Hahaha! =)

Go, shoot! =D

Pet peeves?

Kuyakoy! And cigarette smoke!

Go, shoot! =D

Library Love

Oooohhhh!!!!!! I want this!!!!!!!

But I'm making my previous plans fit this. =)


1. I like a library in the house. <3
2. I like it lined with shelves as high and as many as the ones in Beauty and the Beast. <3
3. I like to have a READ shelf just like the one in Edison's Tumblr. <3


I made tweaks on the picture just so the architect will know what I want. Hahaha!

Mage-gets naman nya di ba? =D


Lily, lily, library loooove. <3

Binigyan ka ng kapangyarihan ng diwata, ano name ng first crush mo?

First of all, let me say ang bakla naman ng intro ng question na to. Hahahaha. *pout!*

Laurence Lorenzo. Way back in Prep. Nyahahahaha. =))

Ask me anything

What's your favorite type of flower?

Sterling Roses. <3 The purplish pink roses with no thorns. =)

Ask me anything

Sometimes I Wonder

DO YOU?


I hope so... 


Because I don't miss anybody as much as I miss you. =(


Wag ka papa-miss masyado. Nakaka-agit eh.

What's the secret to happiness?

Being appreciative of what you have. I guess it's as simple as that. =) Oh! Not sweating the small stuff too! =)

Ask me anything

English Is Tough Stuff

Test yourself with this poem. They say that if you can correctly pronounce every word in this poem, you are speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world.

The Chaos

by G. Nolst Trenite' a.k.a. "Charivarius"

Dearest creature in creation,

Study English pronunciation.

I will teach you in my verse

Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse. 

I will keep you, Suzy, busy,

Make your head with heat grow dizzy.

Tear in eye, your dress will tear.

So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.

Just compare heart, beard, and heard,

Dies and diet, lord and word,

Sword and sward, retain and Britain.

(Mind the latter, how it’s written.)

Now I surely will not plague you

With such words as plaque and ague.

But be careful how you speak:

Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;

Cloven, oven, how and low,

Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.

Hear me say, devoid of trickery,

Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,

Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,

Exiles, similes, and reviles;

Scholar, vicar, and cigar,

Solar, mica, war and far;

One, anemone, Balmoral,

Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;

Gertrude, German, wind and mind,

Scene, Melpomene, mankind.

Billet does not rhyme with ballet,

Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.

Blood and flood are not like food,

Nor is mould like should and would.

Viscous, viscount, load and broad,

Toward, to forward, to reward.

And your pronunciation’s OK

When you correctly say croquet,

Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,

Friend and fiend, alive and live.

Ivy, privy, famous; clamour

And enamour rhyme with hammer.

River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,

Doll and roll and some and home.

Stranger does not rhyme with anger,

Neither does devour with clangour.

Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,

Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,

Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,

And then singer, ginger, linger,

Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,

Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.

Query does not rhyme with very,

Nor does fury sound like bury.

Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.

Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.

Though the differences seem little,

We say actual but victual.

Refer does not rhyme with deafer.

Feoffer does, and zephyr, heifer.

Mint, pint, senate and sedate;

Dull, bull, and George ate late.

Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,

Science, conscience, scientific.

Liberty, library, heave and heaven,

Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.

We say hallowed, but allowed,

People, leopard, towed, but vowed.

Mark the differences, moreover,

Between mover, cover, clover;

Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,

Chalice, but police and lice;

Camel, constable, unstable,

Principle, disciple, label.

Petal, panel, and canal,

Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.

Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,

Senator, spectator, mayor.

Tour, but our and succour, four.

Gas, alas, and Arkansas.

Sea, idea, Korea, area,

Psalm, Maria, but malaria.

Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.

Doctrine, turpentine, marine.

Compare alien with Italian,

Dandelion and battalion.

Sally with ally, yea, ye,

Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.

Say aver, but ever, fever,

Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.

Heron, granary, canary.

Crevice and device and aerie.

Face, but preface, not efface.

Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.

Large, but target, gin, give, verging,

Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.

Ear, but earn and wear and tear

Do not rhyme with here but ere.

Seven is right, but so is even,

Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,

Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,

Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.

Pronunciation (think of Psyche!)

Is a paling stout and spikey?

Won’t it make you lose your wits,

Writing groats and saying grits?

It’s a dark abyss or tunnel:

Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,

Islington and Isle of Wight,

Housewife, verdict and indict.

Finally, which rhymes with enough,

Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?

Hiccough has the sound of cup.

My advice is to give up!!!

Amazing no? 

This one's in the bag! 

How about you? How did you fare? 

Try it! Come oooon!!!! Hahahahaha! =)

Let's Twist Again!

Oh yeah, baby, THEY'RE BACK! <3

This was supposed to be a McDo West Fairview dinner, but chances (ermm, rather, parents. haha!) did not permit, naging McDo Mindanao Avenue na lang. Hahaha!

We had to order a meal with fries of course! =)

Before we gleefully devoured out twisters!


I like this sooooooo much! Hahaha! Super excited tayo sa Twister Fries, Nii! <3

Loooove <3 <3 <3 


I suggested this pose to Edison. YEAH ME. I knooooow... kurot! Hahahaha! He didn't wanna do it at first, but without much pushing, he agreed! Yeeeey! Hahaha!

Twisted Sling

The girl at the other table kept looking at us. Bwahahaha! =)))))) Muntik pa matapon yung isang lalagyan ng twisters! Ay ay ayyyyy kasi naman! =P


Ambilis naubos ng fries! Hahahaha! =)) 
  

You ate the last fryyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boohoo! ='((( Haha! =P


What else is new? We wouldn't miss a photo op for the world! Hahaha!

Closeup na naman! Hahaha!

Nii, was disappointed we couldn't spend more time with each other last night. But this kinda made up for it. Ok ok, it made up for it. Pero I have to admit bitin! Hahaha!


Thanks again! =* See you tom! <3


This is looooove. Twister Fries love. Haha! =D

Bad Day, Babe?

I'll give you the biggest hug!
I'll plant on you the sweetest kiss!
And I'll shout to the world, "I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH, BABE!"
--- All just to cheer you up. <3




Pero parang-awa mo na... pag hindi ako ang kaaway, wag akong awayin. Hahahahahahaha! =P Buti na lang talaga loooooove kita! =) =) =)

Making It Through The Rain

I'll walk through every storm with you...

          All the storms... 

                    All my life. <3

No matter how hard, no matter how challenging, no matter how draining the storm is, I will be with you through it. I will always be by your side. Let's take each other's hands and let's brave the storm. For in braving the storm together, the storm lessens to a heavy downpour, the heavy downpour diminishes to rain, rain decreases to drizzle, and drizzle changes to good weather. 

(Somehow) Quoting Mariah Carey:

WE can make it through the rain 

WE can stand up once again 

On OUR own and WE know 

That WE'RE strong enough to mend 

And every time WE feel afraid 

WE hold tighter to OUR faith 

And WE live one more day 

And WE make it through the rain. 

Besides, it's not everyday that a storm passes! Why not greet the opportunity? =) We can bring a big bright-colored umbrella to protect us. Or we can let ourselves be wet and dance in the rain! Let's enjoy the rhythmic pitter-patter of the raindrops. Minsan lang naman, di ba? Lubusin na! =)

Basta, always keep in your heart, I'll walk through every storm with you... All the storms... All my life. <3

I hope through my storms, you'll be with me too. =)

Need Not Explain? Need To?

A dear one posted a new status in Facebook.

I hate to explain because people might judge if you don't pick the right words that they want to hear.‌

Since I'm such a fan of his wall, I couldn't help but comment, "For me it depends. =D"

And I was surprised by his answer, "Habang tumatagal ako sa mundong 'to, dalawang sagot na lang ang alam ko. oo at hindi. walang 'ewan', walang 'it depends'."

That got me thinking... Baket ako it depends? Baket sya, with conviction, yes or no lang? Where does the difference lie?

I'm not quite certain that I fully understand why his view is like that. I'm sure, some other time, I'll get to understand it. But at this moment, I can only expound on my take.

If the person seeking explanation is, in my opinion, someone who doesn't pass judgment easily, I will explain fully. If not, I won't explain in detail. Or sometimes, I won't explain at all. Or sometimes, it depends on my mood. Yeeeeah, may ganon. =)

I am careful in choosing my words. I've learned the hard way that in telling something, I need to choose my words really really well. Because, one, they may pass judgment even if they haven't heard the full story yet, two, even if they have heard the full story, they may take it differently, and three, they equate you with your words.

So there, IT DEPENDS. How about you? Share your two cents. =)

Big Match

Big nga! Big matchbox! Hahaha!


Rose went to the house this morning. (Uhmmmm, actually, she's still here. Hahaha!) Since we still both haven't had our breakfast yet, we cooked!


When I reached for the matchbox, look what I got!!!!!

Big Match(box)!

Aliiiiiiiiw! Sorry naman, ngayon lang ulit ako nakakita ng gigantic matchbox! Hahaha! I feel like it's gonna last a year of lights! Pak! =D

Half-Crazy

Half-crazy????? TOTALLY CRAZY!

Nii-Nii Evolution


Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!! Benta talaga to! Suh-wear!


I loooooove it! <3 <3 <3 With conviction! Hahaha! 

Poems Are Made By Fools Like Me

But only God can make a tree. --Joyce Kilmer


You got that right! TREES indeed! =)


Last October 2, 2010, Yuppie Days With The Lord, together with some friends, went to Calawis, Antipolo to hike and plant trees. Ok ok... some stayed at the nursery and squatted for hours to plant wildlings. =)


Both are not menial tasks. Kapagod mga Dong and Day! Kalerrrrrky! Kapuy gid!


I invited friends from the Disciples Choir. Thank you Edison, Miggle, Cassie, Mary, Rose, Jayr, Mel and Chad for accepting the invite. <3


Let's start with our adventure!


Together with the group, Nii and I got ready for the climb.

The climb was -- how do I put it nicely... hmmmmm... challenging. 
MAJOR MAJOR CHALLENGING!!!!

Thanks to Mel Torres, we have a group picture! Go Group 3! Woot!


The climb was really not a joke. The trail was slippery. It was steep. There were instances that your choices were to fall on barbed wires or to a ravine. Kaaaaaaaa!!!!!! Thanks to Edison's assitance, di ako namatay! Hahaha! To Nii: YOU'RE MY HEROOOOOO!!!! *enter song here* Hahaha! <3


After an hour and a half, which felt like a day (hahaha!), we reached the top!!!!! Woooooot!!!!! Worth all the effort, man! =D It was paradise! Well, not really because it was all talahib, but still, paradiiiiise! =)


Since we're here to plant and not to ogle at the scenery lang, we had to get going.


Nii and I donned on the plastic gloves given by Santa Tracy.

Thanks for these, Trace! Mwah! =*

Hi ho! Hi ho! Off to the planting site we go!


Lo and behold! =) Parang 1/4 pa lang yan ng dapat taniman! Hahaha!

The Plantation. Parang hacienda talaga! Love it!


Magtanim at di biro, maghapong nakayuko...

The Planters 


Amongst the planters, merong haciendero! SI EDISON!!!!!!!! Mayaman! Pak! Hahaha!

SENOR EDISON: Owner of Hacienda Rodriguez

I so love this pic of yours, Nii! Panalo talaga! Taob lahat ng ibang pics! Hahaha!


Edison and I planted like... how many again, Nii? 12 each ba? Pwede na yun! GOOJAB!!!! Thumbs up!

Congratulations to us, Nii! Apiiiiir!

So down the trail we go again. It was more difficult! Suh-wear! Parang pag nadulas ka, sa kabilang side ka na ng bundok pupulutin! Hahahaha! Patay! Cardiac! Tegibambam! Lay a garland! I know you get what I mean. =P


After another hour or so, which again felt like a day, we arrived at the jumpoff point! WE'RE BACK ALIVE, PEOPLE!!!!! Love it!

We made it back, troop! Hahaha! Pak!


Oh yeah, I didn't tell you... NADULAS AKO! Bwahahaha!!!! Once lang naman. =) Proud proud proud! Here's the evidence. 

Showing off my muddy derriere. Hahaha!

Hay kapuy talaga! Major major! We have tired but happy feet! Abused them actually. <3

Tap tap: Rose, Reich, Jayr, Edison


Lupaypay na sa sidewalk ang mga tao. Pero di naman masyado halata. Except for some. Hahaha.

Sidewalk Drama


Ate lunch, super late lunch, in Causeway Libis. Burp. =)
Rode with Tracy to Galleria. Sleep.
Bus from Galleria to Fairview. Sleep pa rin.
Showered and primped. Fresh! =D
Dinner time. Yum. =D


Edison and I ate a heeeeeavy meal in the shawarma place in Lagro. Grabe Nii, lamon! Binawi lang natin yung inakyat natin that morning! Hahaha!

Savoring our isaw. Yum.

THIS WAS A TIRING, EXHAUSTING, DRAINING BUT FUN, FABULOUS AND FANTASTIC DAY! =)


Thanks to YDTWL@39 Core for making this happen. Congrats! *\o/*
Thanks to Tracy for the ride! Would never have gotten there without you! =*
Thanks to Mel Torres for the other pics! Mas maraming remembrance! <3 
Thanks again to Edison, Miggle, Cassie, Mary, Rose, Jayr, Mel and Chad for coming! This wouldn't have been so fun without you! =))
Thank to Edison for saving my life several times. You really are my hero! <3 =) =) =)

Sa uulitin. Pero sana next year na lang. Hahaha! =)
