Kape at Keso

Since my sister and I have been too desperate to go on an adventure this summer, we "planned" (not really) to go South at Barili, Cebu and explore Mantayupan Falls. May 12, 2013 at past 10am we started our trip, I, my sister, and her two childhood friends. From Parkmall Mandaue, we took a taxi bound to South Bus Terminal.  It wasn't stupidity nor ignorance that made us forget that the next day is Midterm Elections and that when we reach the terminal we were so overwhelmed seeing a sea of people flocking the Terminal just to go back in their hometowns and exercise their right of suffrage. (0_o) Ayoko ng ipagsiksikan ang sarili ko - - a pitiful remark. I contacted a friend who's from Barili and asked her another way how we can get there before the sun sets:) And so, we rode a taxi from South Bus Terminal to Gaisano Tabunok. And from Tabunok we rode a multicab bound for Carcar City. From Carcar City, we hired habal-habal to Mantayupan Falls. You...

I get so curious seeing girls (rarely boys) of my age (feeling like a teener) in one corner scrolling their phone screens, then they smile a bit, they don't look around, they're focus, seems like a tag on their forehead writes "Busy, don't disturb". But oh well, they're not just on one corner! They may be beside you inside a jeep, at the study lounge, at a bench adjacent to you in a park, or they could be that classmate sitting right next to you, and sometimes they're even inside the library. What's going on!? Streeessseeedddd!!! a friend sighed. "Le'me use the computer! I'll do wattpad!" she added. "What the heck are you talkin' about?" I exclaimed. "Nah! wattpad! cute stories, love stories...." and she continued blabbing. Now I get it! It's the site where one can download ebooks straight to their phones. I browsed it... Saw familiar title of stories. I guess I don't fit with this kind of ...

The time when I have learned to enjoy and embrace my individuality was also the time I met you. Tricky the time may seem but I am certain that you are the man I have been praying for. However, at this point of my life, I must admit that I don't deserve you. That is why I am forced to set my emotions aside. Or else, I would end up loving you more than I should love the Lord. I just wonder what kind of character I should be molded with that God has to twist my heart this way. Nonetheless, I am grateful that you served as God's untimely gift for me. That though, you are a gift I could not permanently have, at least you helped me unwrap the lesson I should heed and learn. Right now, I am more hopeful that it is more possible that God would grant one of my greatest desires as long as I will do his business first and foremost.

Pacquiao fever is on! If not most, more Filipinos expressed their disappointment over Pacquiao's recent defeat against Mexican boxer Juan Manuel Marquez in their sought after fourth fight. I am not a boxing analyst, so I'd rather not comment about Pacquiao's performance during the fight. My concern here is somehow the controversial Pacquiao's "change of religion" which according to fans is the reason of his pitiable loss. In a country dominated by Catholics, someone is more acceptable if he belongs to the same church. However, there is still this right of every Filipino to be free in choosing his religion. Pacquiao just exercised his right. And it is just proper for people to understand and accept his decision. A christian fellow, Aaron, had this conversation: P1: napildi si pacquiao kay nag-ilis man gud ug relihiyon (Pacquiao lost because he changed religion) Aaron: nag-ilis pud siya ug Ginoo (he also changed his God) P1: ha!? (what!?) ...

Biyernes ako nagdali sa pag-uli, Nakulbaan, nagkapuliki, Tungod karong gabhiona, Ako manamilit sa usa ka higala. Sa akong paggawas sa San Jose, Mipara dayon ko'g 03B, Dili madugay monaog ko sa Mabolo, Maghuwat og jeep nga ang ruta Ouano. Og sa dihang pag-abot ko sa mao nga dapit, Milingkod ako sa ngilit, Nagpaabot sa akong higala, Kinsa mi-text og "pdung na:)" Samtang nagpaabot, gikuha ko ang akong ballpen ug notebook, Gipasagdan ang akong mga kamot nga molihok, Wa madugay, migawas ang mga pulong, Nga dughan ko maglisod og utong. Salamat! miabot na ang akong higala, Og sa dihang gitan-aw ko ang iyang mga mata, Wa ko kapugngi ang magduha-duha, Nga angay ba gyod manamilit kaniya. Apan, gipalabi nako ang akong garbo, Di nako gusto mautro, Masamdan ang malipayong dughan, Sa taw nga walay kasayoran. Ang akong higala, Aduna'y laing gihigugma, Asa pa man ko ibutang sa iyang dughan? Nga dugay na man diay kong gihulipan. Og nianang gabhiona, ...

THESE ARE SOME OF THE COMMON PERSONALITIES ANYONE COULD ENCOUNTER WHILE RIDING IN A JEEPNEY:) 1. SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE - mga pasahero na akala mo 'yung kausap nila eh nasa kabilang jeep, when in fact, nasa tabi lang nila, daig pa ang naka-mega phone sa lakas ng boses at kung tumawa? hay naku wagas te! 2. THE F.C's - ito naman yung mga kunwari eh nagtatanong kung anong oras na tapos pagsinagot mo na eh may follow up question agad yung tipong kulang na lang pati araw na kinasal yung magulang mo tinatanong din... phew! 3. THE PAKISUYO PO (THE PALIHUG KO) -mga taong pag sumakay ay pinipiling umupo sa may pintuan ng jeep lalo na kung walang konduktor, kung makipagsiksikan lang, wagas din! eh kasi nga ayaw ma sabihan ng "pakisuyo po" these people are also known as "the not-so-lazy"  4. SMOKEYS -kahit ga'no pa kalaki yung sign na "NO SMOKING" di pa rin nakakaintindi, minsan nga yung driver mas malakas pa bumuga ng usok kesa sa...
