Just three weeks ago, I posted this.

And then yesterday, I saw this gift waiting for me in the passenger’s seat of Panget’s car.

I could hardly deny I was in state of high excitement upon recognizing that cloaked in the Fully Booked plastic was the book of my favorite comic strip.  I finally got the book I had wished for! But, Panget’s surprise was just a slice of my happiness.  What certainly the source of my elation was that my guy actually cared to make it available for me without being asked.  Yes, I surely showed how badly I wanted to own C&H on my aforementioned entry, but only because my feet were soaking in the mud of dejectedness when I posted it.  It was after I learned that this hilarious book is still not readily available in shelves of any bookstore in the Philippines.  Little did I know, while I was still examining further on how I could purchase it from abroad, there was my guy, already had it ordered for me on the date of my “wish” entry! ♥

(Hay..  Andami mo nang nagiging surprise sakin, Nget. Why do you seem to never fail?  Maliit man o bonggang moment, you just know exactly how to make me feel special!  All because you care to listen.  Or is it because you just know me too well and we’re always in sync?)

Hmm, I now covet a black Montero Sport! Haha!

Happy birthday, Ma!

 She makes her family’s life incredible in this world that is otherwise unbearable.

We are certainly blessed for having you! I love you, Ma!

Mas panira ka ng umaga!

Nung isang buwan lang, meron akong nirereklamong insidente tungkol sa pagbaba ng mga pasahero ng pang publikong sasakyan sa mga lugar na ipinagbabawal. Makikita nyo dito ung sinulat kong reklamo.

Ngayon, may reklamo ulit ako! Pero di tulad dati, wala nang pasaherong nanenermon o pumuputak dahil hindi binaba sa gusto niyang babaan… dahil this time, nagpilit yung pasahero na itabi yung jeep. Ang resulta, mas panira ng umaga! HINULI NA NG TRAFFIC ENFORCER YUNG JEEP NA SINASAKYAN KO! Anak ng teteng!

Pwede ba, para dyan sa mga taga QC City Hall, wag nga kayong baba ng baba sa gusto nyo lang babaan! Pag sinabing hindi pwede at may nanghuhuli dyan, intindihin nyo naman! Tagalog naman ang ginamit na lenguwahe ng drayber, hindi ba? BAWAL DYAN! Pag sinabing bawal, HINDI PWEDE ang ibig sabihin non! At uulitin ko mula sa una kong reklamo, kung tinatamad kayong bumaba sa tamang lugar dahil lang madadagdagan kayo ng extra limang hakbang aba, poblema nyo na yun! Wala kaming pakialam kung may pigsa kayo sa singit o dahil late na kayo, kahit ano pang rason nyo sa pagpara sa choice of place nyo, wag niyong ipilit! Try nyong mag ipon pang taxi niyo araw araw para kayo ang magdidikta sa drayber san kayo ibababa!

Lahat kaming pasahero ay walang nagawa at nanood lang sa drayber ng jeep at traffic enforcer na mag sigawan sa kahabaan ng bente minuto sa daan dahil lang ayaw magbigay ng lisensya nung isa, tapos yung isa kinakalas na yung plaka ng jeep! At dahil busy yung drayber na makipagpataasan ng boses sa enforcer, hindi namin siya masingil sa pamasahe namin para makalipat ng jeep! Ikaw ba naman, makukuhanan na nga lisensya, gugustuhin mo pa ba mawalang ng pera? Ang lalong nakakagigil pa, eh yung city hall employee–yung lintik na taong nagpilit pumara sa maling babaan–ayun, naglaho na. Malamang ay nakapag time in na (at malamang ay nagpapahinga sa upuan niya at kumakain ng agahan habang nalalamigan ng aircon ng opisina nila) habang kami nakatigil sa initan! Peste talaga yan, dahil sayo na iisang pasaherong matigas ang ulo, ilan ang naperwisyo? Ha???? Wala man siyang kaalam alam na may labing limang tao na nasa tabing kalsada at mukang tangang nanghihingi ng syete pesos sa drayber na may busangot na na muka gawa ng kamalasan niya sa umaga.

Hay buhay Pinoy!

Will see you soon!

She’s a sweet smart doll.  She’s my niece and one of my favorite models since I started practicing digital photography.  It saddens me that she left for the States last Friday and would possibly not come back until six years.   

I remember my mom asking me if I have pieces of memories of my uncle who left us for heaven when I was 2 years and 9 months old.  And I know I have, only I pull it all out from picture frames and photo albums in our shelves until now.  Lianne is half a year shy from her 3^rd birthday.  Thankfully, this little girl already knows how to surf the internet at her age and most likely, through that, we’ll still have a part in her as she grows up away from us, physically.  Hmm, children and internet, it actually leads me to think… are kids now becoming robots?  Haha, but that’s another story.  I just hope this cute lil one hasn’t turned into a robot when we fetch her at the NAIA airport years from now. 

See you again soon, Kuya Noel, Ate Iya, Jia, and Lianne! :) Take lots of care! We miss you, guys, already!

Would somebody please buy me C&H Book? :)

Sarcastic.

Funny.

Stupid.

It’d be my perfect lil book.

LOL
