simbang gabi
ilan lang sa kung ano ano pang hiwaga ang bumabalot sa madaling araw. hehehe.. but what i'm really referring to is the pinoy tradition, simbang gabi.
matagal na akong hindi nakakapag-simbang gabi. naalala ko pa noon na lagi akong kinukulit ng aking nanay para gumising at magsimbang gabi. kahit halos isang hakbang lang ang layo ng simbahan sa bahay namin, ay tamad na tamad akong gumising para magsimba, masarap kasing matulog lalo na't malamig ang panahon. kaya naman, balik sa kama, pasaway kasi, at natutulog ulet kahit napaka-ingay ng kampana ng simbahan.
ngayon namang gusto ko ng magsimbang gabi ay hindi ko na magawa. sobrang aga kasi ng trabaho ko. saktong paparating ang december nang maging 5am shift ako. so wala ng siyam na araw ng: paggising ng maaga, maligo sa nagyeyelong tubig, makipagsiksikan sa dami ng tao sa simbahan, tumayo ng tuwid kahit inaantok habang nagmimisa, kumanta ng chrismas songs after ng misa, at kumain ng masarap na puto bumbong at bibingka pagkauwi. nakakamiss na pala..
sabi nila, kapag nakumpleto ang buong simbang gabi, magkakatotoo ang pinakamimithi mong hiling. may nakapagsabing totoo nga, ang iba naman ay hindi. hindi ko rin ito napatunayan dahil 5 out of 9 pa lang ang record ko. hindi rin ito ang dahilan kung bakit ako nagsisimbang gabi, sa totoo lang, wala akong maiisip na dahilan. dahil nga ba nakaugalian na ito sa amin bahay o isa ito sa bonding moments naming pamilya o nakikiuso lang at sumasabay sa kung anong gawain ng pinoy tuwing kapaskuhan. marahil. siguro. baka nga. pero hindi ko talaga alam. ang tanging masasabi ko lang ay nakakagaan ng loob pagkatapos ng simbang gabi. faith? ewan ko lang, try mo :)
kung ano man ang iyong dahilan sa pagsi-simbang gabi, wag sana natin kalimutan ang dahilan sa likod ng tradisyon ito. merry christmas!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
here's my take on the most recent harry potter movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
- the story is incomplete :D (hence this is only part one and you will be craving to watch the last installment just like me)
- i also agree that the film is much scary and it doesn't seem to be child-friendly anymore, more of a teen pop flick. nevertheless, the dark and eerie setting makes it more like a suspense/thriller movie which is my fave genre and this adds more drama and emotion to the film.
- great actors played their part well, i really like how bad ass helena bonham carter is. this harry potter franchise also let us watched how daniel radcliff and the others grew up literally and evolve. i remember seeing the first film where they were all small like toddlers from a crib :)
- overall, i would give it 8 out of 10. hope you enjoyed watching it too..

zombie strikes again
dahil na din sa kadahilanang ito at hindi ko masimulan gumawa ng blog entry sa mga pangyayaring nangyari na tila baga kailangang maisulat dahil sa kung anong kadahilanan.
lutang ang utak,
inaantok ang isip,
gustong matulog,
gustong kumain,
gustong mapahinga
NGUNIT...
kailangang gumising,
kailangang magtrabaho,
kailangang paganahin ang utak at isip.
hayyy, buhay nga naman parang life. face the consequences or the consequences will face you > anong koneksyon? gulo ko talaga

Makansutra Asian Food Village and WhiteMoon Bar
makansutra asian food village
located sa second floor ng manila ocean park ang makasuntra, medyo nkakaligaw lang hanapin ang escalator/elevator or ganun lang talaga pag first time mo sa isang place. as its name suggest, asian food ang specialty dito. hindi nga ako makapili ng kakainin dahil kakaiba ang mga names sa menu ngunit meron din namang pinoy food. affordable din naman ang meals nila ranging from 100 up at may group meals din na pagpipilian. kanya-kanya kami ng order and i ordered chicken blah blah (forgot the name). ok naman ang food plus the great ambiance. hindi nga lang asian look ang place (akala ko kasi asian village dahil sa nama nito) pero ok naman dahil spacious at may kalakihan din ang place. sa center nakalocate ang kitchen so makikita mo kung paano niluluto ang food. after diner, we decide to move sa katabing bar nito, ang whitemoon bar, kung saan open air na swak dahil yosing-yosi na ako..
Mini-reunion, Reminisce, Manila Ocean Park, etc..
dahil umuwi galing cebu ang isa naming classmate sa elementary, nagkasundo na magkaroon ng meet-and-greet ala grade school reunion. naging mini-reunion nga ito ng batch namin nun elementary dahil may mga first time na magkikita-kita after ng graduation namin nun grade school, at isa ako dun.
manila ocean park
ayon sa text message ng aming 'event organizer', sa makansutra village daw kami magkikita-kita sa 2nd floor ng manila ocean park na katabi ng quirino grandstand sa luneta park (yan, alam mo na kung saan matatagpuan ang place na ito). sabi pa ng mom ng kasama namin, "ano kayo, mga bata at sa ocean park pa kayo magkikita?", natawa na lang ako sa comment niya kasi nga naman ay kilalang pambatang pasyalan ito. tama nga naman siya dahil kasabay namin ang mga batang nagfifield-trip dito, buti na lang hindi ako napagkamalang classmates nila.hehehe...
reminisce ...

tamang inom: central bbq
time out muna sa paglilista at gimik time na..last night ay nagkayayaan para icheck out ang isang place na mura daw ang inumin pati na ang food at tiyak na gagapang ka pauwi sa sobrang lasing. sounds intriguing, kaya naman after work ay nagtungo kami sa nasabing lugar.
located at madison square pioneer mandaluyong, wala ni isa sa amin ang may alam nun kaya naman ay nagtaxi na lang kami from our office (rockwell ortigas) to the said place. this took us 55php lang dahil sa boni station ng mrt lang pala malapit.
ok naman ang place, nasa dulong part nh madison square ang central bbq bar at medyo tago dahil ginagawa pa ang katabing lugar nito. open space ang lugar at nasa isang malaking tent lang yata un na candlelight lang which makes it dim na sawak lang sa informal inuman ambiance. malaki naman ang place at maraming table kaya hinding hindi kayo mawawalan ng pwesto.
dahil sa nakakacurious nilang description sa mga coctail drinks nila ay napagkasunduang no beer kami. sakto namang meron silang 2 plus 1 promo for the same price range lang. 180php ang isang pitcher at hindi sa pitcher nakalagay ang inumin kundi sa isang plastic bottle na parang jug pangbaon sa school, cool! we first order 2 squeeze me at 1 badboy. naging fave ko agad ang squeeze me, isang blue colored frozen cocktail na parang isa sa mga flavor ng koolaid, sarap na parang juice. para sa pulutan, hotdog worth 25php at masarap nga dahil grilled ang pagkakaluto. meron din sisig na fave nang combination ng alak, mojos with dip na mala large cut french fries, and their own version of streetfoods, ang isaw at ang buttman (chicken ass). we also tried their other signature drinks namely badgirl, surferboy, soco (isang choco base cocktail na parang mudshake, sarap), at ang nakapagpatumba sa amin, ang badtrip (isang traidor na inumin dahil masarap naman ang lasa kaso nasa huli ang tama). better try it to see what i mean.
total bill: 1,7++ php worth of 12 pitcher ng iba't ibang drinks, 5 sets ng pulutan, at walang humpay na saya at amats. i think i lost count of the actual number ng alak at pagkain. highly recommended for those who want to be wasted pero nagtitipid.
check out their menu at ang nakatuwang description ng kanilang drinks from this link:

fave romantic comedy/ lovestory
so here's the second listing, the top romantic comedy and chessy love story movies...
1. 50 first dates - the second movie tandem of adam sandler and drew barrymore, a woman with short term memory loss due to an accident and the boyfriend that makes her fall each day.
2. city of angels - an all-time favorite classic. nicholas cage, an angel who fell in love with a mortal and decides to become human to be with meg ryan. i also love the soundtrack of this film, iris by goo goo dolls.
3. 500 days of summer - at first i thought that summer is the setting of this movie but its in fact the name of the lead female role who then falls in love and out of it with tom. i love the way that the scenes are presented on a non-chronological format that will keep you guessing what is next or why did that happened. here's the famous line from that film which really is a heart-breaker, i woke up one morning and i just knew. knew what? what i was never sure of with you.
4. serendipity - fate/destiny binds two people together is what this film wants to implies. a must watched movie for those who are desperately looking for the right one :D
5. valentine's day (2010) - pack with an all star cast, this film tackles on relationships, break-ups, falling in love, falling out of love, true love, and all things that has the word love and that came with love.
6. music and lyrics - hugh grant and drew barrymore team up to compose a hit song and they ended up falling in love with each other. with the cheesy love song, way back into love, this movie is for those cuddling-up moments :)
7. my bestfriend's wedding - an all-time favorite classic. my mother was a julia roberts fan and watching this film with her made me a julia robert fan as well. the film is about falling in love with your bestfriend who is going to marry someone.
8. letters to juliet - inspired by the play romeo and julie, with a romatic setting of verona and parts of Italy, this film is about finding true love and knowing "what if".
list to be populated once i remember those films that i watched and loved :D

TOY STORY 3
Buzz Lightyear was first introduced as an addition to Andy's toys in Toy Story 1. His presence is taken as a threat by Woody (a cowboy toy) on who will be the favorite toy of them all because Buzz is more equiped with action features rather than him being a plain old doll. tama ba ang pagkakarecall ko? wala kasi akong matandaan sa unang film. panoorin ninyo na lang ulet kasi papanoorin ko na lang din :D
(place movie plot here)
my take on this film: a movie to watch with your kids, dahil animated film ito at magugustuhan ng mga kids kasi nga tungkol sa mga toys. but its for the young at heart din so pasok pa din ako dito. seriously, i like the storyline, on the way the movie progress. plus it never failes to tickle my funny bone. recommended for someone who doesn't let go. enjoy and have a good laugh at the movie house :D

Killers
the KILLERS is about an agent who settles down when he met his love in the romatic setting of France. ang cheesy nung line na 'yun kasi naman romatic film pala ito na hinaluan ng action at konting comedy. tuloy sa movie plot: after 3 years of a normal married life, Spencer (Ashton Kutcher) was contacted by his old boss but did not want to become an assassin again and ruin his normal married life with Jen (Katherine Heigl) who doesn't even know that his old work. this started the plot to hunt down and kill Spencer by the Killers (queue the fight scenes with Spencer's workmates, neighbors and people that they know) and eventually exposing his real job to Jen and ending up the film with a revelation of whoever wants Spencer dead and the real truth on their lives.

NOY-BI Inaguration
dahil sa ako ay isang pinoy, kailangan kong gawan ng blog ang makasaysayang pangyayaring ito. June 30, 2010 ng magkaroon ng bagong presidente ang pinas. namumpa bilang ika-15 na presidente si Noynoy Aquino. kasabay niyang nanumpa bilang bise presidente si Jejomar Binay.
kahit na dineklarang walang pasok nun araw na iyon, meron pa din akong pasok dahil mahal ko ang aking trabaho kaya hindi ko napanood ang mismong inagurasyon dahil kasaluyang nagtra-trabaho ako. tama, workaholic ako at gustong-gusto ko ang trabaho ko (pati sarili ko binobola ko na, hahahaha). wala akong napanood kaya wala akong kumento dito :D
sa balita sa TV ko lang nalaman ang lahat ng detalye ukol sa ating paksa: na naging simple ang okasyon (akala ko ito na ang bongang inagurasyon sa pinas dahil sa napakabusising preparasyon mula sa damit na susuotin hanggang sa gastos ng pagpapaganda ng lugar na pagdadausan), na huli dumating si binay (ang depensa niya, nauna lang si Noynoy), na sinusundo pala ng nakaupong presidente ng papalitan nito (ngayon ko lang nalaman na may ganito pala), na mayroon celebration concert si Noynoy sa QC circle (daming artista ang naging parte nito), at hindi dumalo si James Yap (showbiz!). marami pang ibang detalye ng inagurasyon ngunit ang mga nabanggit lang ang aking natandaan, pramis..
so far so good, yan ang masasabi kay Noynoy. kahit na mayroon maling memorandum sa unang araw ng kanyang pamamahala ay naiayos naman ito agad. apat na araw pa lang naman ang nakakalipas, tingin ko ay aayos din ang pinas sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni Noynoy. kahit na hindi siya ang binoto ko noong eleksyon (kay Gordon kasi ang boto ko), naniniwala pa din ako sa kakayanan niya at aahon pa din ang pinas (*cross-fingers*).

Election 2010
may 10, 2010 - ang kauna-unahang automated election sa pinas. bago pa man dumating ang araw na ito ay kung ano-anong kapalpakan na ang naganap na lalong nagpawala ng tiwala sa bagong sistemang ito. ngunit nasolusyunan din naman ito at sa wakas ay naidaos din ang makasaysayang automated election.
5 precints rolled into 1
ito ang dahilan kung bakit sobrang haba ng pila sa pagboto. tinatayang mayroon 200 registered voters sa isang precint. marahil sa limited PCOS machines ay pinagsama-sama na lang ang 5 precints, making it more than a thousand voters na magsisiksikan sa isang voting precint. ang solusyon nila: number system (kumuha ka ng number sa precint mo tapos hintayin mong matawag) at ang 8-minute limit sa bawat taong boboto. 10am kami pumunta sa school kung saan kami registered at talaga namang ang napakaraming taong gustong bumoto. dehydrated ka na sa init ng panahon, makipagsiksikan ka pa sa mga taong nakapila/nakatambay sa corridor habang inaalam mo ang precint number mo. buti na lang at nasabihan ako ng kapitbahay namin na parehong room kami sa bandang dulo. Dulo nga, kaya naman pawisan ako ng maabot ang voting precint ko.
ako: "kuya, penge po ng number"
nagulat sa pagkakita sa number, 467!
ako: "anong number na po ba ang tinatawag?"
manong: " hindi na kailangan yan, pumila ka na lang"
***at binigyan mo pa ako ng number kung hindi lang naman pala kailangan.
yun pala ay depende na sa precint mo kung kung number ba o pila na lang. pero meron pa din 8 minute limit at me special treatment sa mga senior citizens dahil hindi na nila kailangan pumila at diresto na sila sa loob ng voting precint.
hanep naman sa haba ng pila, tila blockbuster na ironman ang pipinilahan. dahil sa mahabang pila din sa precint ng magulang at kapatid ko ay minarapat na lang naming bumalik sa hapon. 3pm nang kami'y bumalik ngunit madami pa ring tao. yun pala ay dumadaan si Angelika Dela Cruz na sa iisang eskwelahan din bumoto. Opo, taga Malabon ako. Pagdaan niya ay tila nagdisperse na rallyista ang mga tao at iilan na lang ang totoong nakapila. YES, konti na lang dahil ang ibang precint ay jammed pack pa din. Bilib din ako sa staying powers nila at nagtiyaga talaga silang pumila sa gitna ng init ng araw at init ng ulo.
automated election vs mano-mano
first time voter ako noong 2004 kung saan mano-mano pa ang paraan ng pagboto. second time namang nitong 2010 kung saan ay automated na ang eleksyon. sa tingin ko, mas madali nga ang processo ng automated kesa sa mano-mano. mas madaling mag-shade kesa isulat ang pangalan ng kadidato mo. mas madali ang pagbilang gamit ang computer kesa sa hindi. mas mabilis ang resulta ngayon na isang araw pa lang ay mahigit 90% na ang nabibilang. sana man lang ay dinamihan pa ang mga machines para hindi nagsisiksikan ang mga botante sa iisang precint. naalala ko pa noon 2004, walang pila sa precint namin at diretso ako sa loob para bumoto. at sana man lang ay secured ang program pati na ang machine para wlang hacker ang mamamanipula ng mga resulta nito.
pangalawang beses ko na itong bumoto. nasabi ko dati na hindi na ako ulit boboto dahil isa ako sa mga nag-iisip na wala namang pagbabagong magaganap sa pinas kahit sino pa ang maging presidente nito. parang nagkatrauma yata sa unang pagboto na wala namang nangyari sa pinas o sadyang naghahangad lang ako ng mabilisang pagbabago. ngayong mayroon bagong halal na presidente, sana naman ay mabago ang aking pananaw at tuluyan maibalik ang nawalang pag-asa..

jejemon craze
JEJEMON
1. Usually seen around social networking sites such as Friendster and Multiply, jejemons are individuals with low IQs who spread around their idiocy on the web by tYpFing LyK diZS jejejeje, making all people viewing their profile raise their eyebrows out of annoyance. Normal people like you and me must take a Bachelor of Arts in Jejetyping in order to understand said individuals, as deciphering their text would cause a lot of frustration and hair pulling.
CAUTION: THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE BREEDING! THEY CAN BE SEEN WRECKING GRAMMATICAL HAVOC ON FACEBOOK TOO!
2. Jejemons are not just confined to trying-hard Filipino gangsters and emos. A Jejemon can also include a variety of Latino-Hispanic fags who enjoy typing "jejejejeje" in a wider context, much to the disdain of their opponents in an internet MMORPG game such as Ragnarok andn DOTA.
3. Basically anyone with a low tolerance in correct punctuation, syntax and grammar. Jejemons are usually hated or hunted down by Jejebusters or the Grammar Nazis to eradicate their grammatical ways.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jejemon
Jejemon - is basically a variation of homo sapiens sub-species Jeje that originates in the Asia-Pacific island nation the Philippines.
Jejes - are the pure and original form and is claimed to have originated in what we know today as Latin America.
Jejemonus Filiponensis - Jejemons' scientific name
Jejebet - is a combination of the English alphabet and counting numbers which, in a strange mix of character substitution, surprisingly makes words that are understandable only to the Jejes and Jejeologists
Jejeologists - normal people that study Jejemons
Jejeientists - normal people that study Jeje sciences
Jejebusters - normal people that act to eradicate the Jejemon population, also known as Grammar Nazis
Jejenism - the Jejemon religion; not to be confused with Jejemonism
Jejemonism - the belief that Jejemons are superior than normal people
Jejenese language - speaking language of Jejemons together with the Jejebet
http://tjsdaily.blogspot.com/2010/04/jejemon-what-are-they.html
http://chicogarcia.wordpress.com/2010/04/23/jejemon/
HAVE YOU RECEIVED A text message like this: “Eow PowZ, mUsZtAh nHa?” If so, most likely you’ve had a “Jejemon” experience. It isn’t a new breed of Pokemon that Ash and Misty have found. This terminology has been popping up everywhere even in Facebook.
The Jejenese is not just confined to Pinoy Jejemons. Just before I wrote this, I played “Warcraft” and found a European opponent who enjoys typing “jejejeje” in a very wide context, much to my disdain as he sabotages my online quests. Another group of foreign Jejemons, although their Jejemonism seems so trivial to actually classify them as Jejemons, are the Thais who type “hahaha” this way: “5555.”
You will see a lot of these in your Thai friend’s Facebook status messages. Since, the number 5 translates to “ha” in Thai, as explained by my friend Pakorn Dokmai. I’m sure many of you have personal encounters with other foreign Jejemons, be in Manila or abroad. So we can assume that Jejemon is a worldwide phenomenon.
