Charaaaaannnn!!! I`m back!

Ima hima desu (I`m vacant). Kaya naisipan kong buksan uli ang blogsite ko. Whoah!I just realized na di ko na pala naa-update ito for almost 45 years. (Halata bang weder weder la`ang? hehehe) Teka, taka, where in the world am I during those times ba?

MID-JANUARY

I went for a business trip in Japan. Two weeks akong tumigil sa Osaka. Umuwi din agad kasi kailangan kong baguhin ang status ng VISA ko since babalik din ako to study in Yokohama. Maaliwalas ang panahon `nung mga panahong iyon. Kaya naman palihim akong kumuha ng mga larawan habang nasa himpapawid.

Hayz! kelan kaya ako makakapagsky-dive?***


Isingit ko na din `yong kinain ko sa eroplano `nun hehehehe...


FEBRUARY- MARCH



YOKOHAMA KENSHU SENTA

Tha Japanese speaks the alien language jijijij. Kaya naman ako`y binalingoyngoy `nung tinanong ako ng clerk `di ko naman maintindihan. Basta inabot ko na lang ang registration form at isinulat ang personal data ko. First day ko kasi sa school `nun at kailangang umattend ng orientation.



2908. Hotel room number ko. Napagitnaan ang kwarto ko ng kwarto ng mga Indonesians. Sila ang unang naging mga kaibigan ko. Siyempre, sa tagal ng pakikipagdaldalan, napag-alaman ko na hindi pala dapat para sa akin ang kwartong tinutuluyan ko kundi sa isa pa nilang kasama. Ang nangyari kasi, apat na araw bago sila pupunta ng Japan eh inatake sa puso `yung kasama nila...at natigok (ok lang ba ang term na tigok? anyways, sumalangit nawa kaluluwa niya.) Siyempre, dahil sa kung anu-ano ang nakikita ko at malikot ang imahinasyon, `di ako nakatulog `nung gabing `yon. Pumasok ako sa klase kinabukasan ng bangag at nakalutang hahahaha...



Messing up with sensei on the next day hehehehe...

Feliz Ano Nuevo!

In early times, people have already celebrated certain events and festivities. New Year's Day is one of the occasions marked by many countries around the world. It is celebrated with parties, dancing, singing, parades and etcetera with lively manners. Commonly, January 1 is the first day of the year though some countries and other religious groups have varying ideas on when a new year starts.

Here in the Philippines, people have different ways in starting the year. Fireworks and firecrackers are fused to get rid of bad spirits and karma. In our home, we usually just have our dinner together and share the walang kamatayang videoke galore while my mother is busy shaking the coins inside the pockets of her polka-dotted duster... that sometimes provoked me to a ridiculous smiling. Does it really works?

Filipinos are truly supertsititious especially the old folks. In whatever we do in life, kung pasasaan pa't may kalakip talagang pamahiin. Somehow, I believed them. Wala namang mawawala kung maniniwala, ika nga. But then again, we should not forget that it's still us who drives our lives...our fate is within us.

2009 is coming in a few hours from now. And it's good to be better. So let us all start the year right . Happy new year to all! Feliz Ano Nuevo!

Joy to the World

I woke up today with a lot of text messages received. Most of it were Christmas greetings from my relatives and friends. As I read those messages, my heart is filled with happiness. I can't believe that after 3 long years of not celebrating the Christmas with my family, tonight we'll share the moment. I am so excited again to greet our dear Emmanuel a happy birthday through a prayer. For me, it's the greatest gift I could offer Him. Merry Christmas Everyone! Let us all rejoice!
