What I Want: Setting Goals Before I Turn 30teen
January 27, 2012I didn’t feel that I am growing old until New Year came. Geez, I’m gonna be 30 in August!!!
And so I forced myself to list down the things I wanna happen or do before I turn 3-0. Funny.

☐ Eat spaghetti with ice cream. Yeah, ice cream ON the spaghetti it is.
☑ Make a lipsync video.
☐ Let go of 20 pink balloons in a park.

☐ Watch Spongebob Squarepants the whole day.
☐ Create a scrapbook about people who made me really smile for the past years.
☐ Save the world from hunger.
☑ Don’t take a bath. For two days. (Done! Done! Done! Hahaha!)
☐ Fly a kite.
☐ Take pictures of 3 important people. Me being there is optional. LOL

On this picture: Joshua Ryuuji Yu Co sometime when he was a bit younger, obviously.
I look like that right now, only a lot cuter.
Second zombie day. Sigh. I wish it’s just easy for me to sleep. It’s becoming a challenge now. My pillows are very appealing; my comforte, very enticing. But no… No sleep!
SOMEBODY HELP ME!
Sessionistas
January 25, 2012Okay, I will try my very best not to digress. I didn’t promise, I said I’ll try.
And so everyone is excited about our upcoming project at work (or so I think). I have heard that a lot of potential talents will be unleashed once it starts. It’s called Horizon Sessionistas, the Search for the Best Acoustic Band…(better get ready, here it is, hold it!) EVAH! Organizing an event like this makes me skip meals (not really - Mom).
Now why is it worth teh blog? Because I said so! And because I think you are envious because your boss makes you work as hard as hell and doesn’t want you to relax sometimes and get incentives while enjoying. Poor you! But come on, I know how you feel. Work sucks (to quote the famous philosophical band Blink 182) but you gotta chill. If no one would step up, why don’t you?
Talking about stepping up and being proactive. I will tell this again and I hope this is the last time imma do it. I enjoy organizing events for our account and our company because I love entertainment. When I see people smile, I am already paid. Yes, my dear follower (‘coz I know it’s just you, Mom!), I do this pro bono. Some people think that I am just papansin but boy do I care never! I know I cannot please everybody (cliche count, please?) and my brother is not a pig ‘coz I don’t have a brother. I just really feel fulfilled when people trust my crap,err, craft and believe in what I can do.
I once told a friend that for a person not to feel burned out, he has to do something new. It may be one new activity a week or a month or a year, but do something that is ultra new to you. Like bungee jumping. Or solving a sudoku. Or teaching me how to dougie. This is my way of making myself fall in love with work. I would always say that the reason I stay is because of the people around me. And it is so true. I also dream of not working and just bathe with money or slap my friends with cash but hey! Why not make yourself happy while you wait to be filthy rich?
I warned you. Really.
Getting jiggy with the Sessionistas and other future projects with my 2nd family is what keeps me going. The target is on or before Valentine’s Day (yes, mushy, indeed!) and I will try my best to have someone take a vid of the sessions, for blog purposes.
Happiness is just around the corner (was it Vengaboys or Aqua?).
:)
Hardest. Ever.
I was thinking of posting T.H.E. because of Mick Jagger but this caught me real damn good.
The Impeachment Drama is getting jiggy-er, thanks to the return of the comeback of the kontrabida of all kontrabidas. Now, we’re talking. 
And the world became safer. Noisier but better. Thanks to SuperMiriam 
I’m In The House!!!

Chinese New Year
January 23, 2012This blog is not really about the world’s celebration. I just can’t think of a better title. Can’t blame me, I haven’t written for a year. I tried my very best to become a better person last year and so I stopped blogging. Hahaha! Get ready for the digression queen you missed (I hope).
2011 is one of the happiest years in my life. I get to know everyone around me. I just realized that there are lots of people who care about me. And that I have an impact (somehow) on their lives. I am definitely not a superhero but having friends this much is like having all the love in the world. YOU mean the world to me! If I start naming you, guys, it would consume 20,500 minutes of my life but I know ya dig it. You guys are the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be. And I thank you for accepting my being krung-krung all the time.
Hey, you would be very proud of me. I know now how to use my make-up. I got inspired kasi. (wow, conyo?) It’s that feeling I rarely experience and when I do so, it hits me hard. Nakakatuwa lang. Even if you know that nothing futuristic or fairy tale-ish is gonna happen, that moment would still make you smile. Yep, moments like that I experienced much first part of this year. Yung mukha kang tanga kasi kahit mag-isa ka, napapangiti ka. I will cherish every happy moment I had with him. And to that person, prove to the world that you are a great person ‘coz I already felt your potential. Spread your wings and prepare to fly… Teka, ano bang magandang synonym ng moment? Redundant na eh. Hahaha!
Cheers to my old and new self. Sorry, hindi pa rin ako magpapa-rebond. Hahaha!
2011, My Year
January 30, 2011The year 2010 was a very fruitful year for me and my family. Before it ended, I got promoted. The Lord has put me back to my post as youth leader. My family was, and still is, in full health; I helped my sister, Jhong, to get a job, Chenille got a scholarship grant at San Sebastian (she wants to take BS Psychology and then Medicine to study my brain) and our dear Dindi went on a tamad-tamaran vacation here with us. Joshua was born and is getting smarter and cuter each day. Jesus The Gospel Canlubang, where we attend Sunday services, got renovated. We have cut bills issues into half and God is still continuing to bless us to end all debt issues. I can’t thank God enough for all that He’s done for us. And He ain’t done yet… The party just got started…
Thank you, Yahoo! for hacking my account. I check emails like once a month or if I am forced to. And so I opened my alternate Hotmail account and saw that Dindi sent me an email. This is what she wrote (Dindi, sorry I am so blessed with what you sent me I disregarded privacy:
Musta na kayo? Miss na kita! Sobra! I just have a prophesy for you:
I just want you to know ate that you are a great woman of God. I am really blessed by your life. Your testimony is a living proof of God’s goodness and faithfulness. You are going to be used by God mightily not only in the four corners of our church but in the city. Young girls will commit their lives to Christ because of your passion and love for God. God is taking you to the next level and He wants you to get ready. You will see and hear things in the supernatural realm. You will see angels ascending to and descending from heaven. Your spiritual eyes and ears will be opened so that God’s word shall be declared through you. The Lord will ask you to give up some things you’ve been carrying for a long long time and when it seems like you can’t do it, that’s when He is calling you to obey Him radically. God’s grace is always with you. He wants to meet you in the secret place. He wants you to go to the deepest places wherein you can hear His audible voice and talk to Him like you’re talking to a friend. His secrets are revealed in the secret places. There’s so much more in His kingdom and He wants to show those things to you. This is your year so get ready.
I love you Ate!

I know that there is something more than just sitting and listening. The Lord will make me the head, not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:13). Temptation is everywhere but the time is almost over and we all have to act fast. Oh Lord, I give ‘em all to You!
And so the Haven of Madness is mad no more…
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the path of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23:1-6
The DASH Eating Plan
November 8, 2010My dad said I am too young to be hypertensive. What can I do? Dr. Estela Galvez, our family doctor, advised me to follow, IF I COULD, the DASH EATING PLAN (Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension). The diet plan calls for reducing sodium (salt) to 1,500 mg a day (about 2/3 teaspoon). It says the “patients undergoing DASH-Sodium plan significantly lowered their blood pressure“. This is a struggle for me but I know somehow I can do it. WAAAAAA!!!!
The DASH Eating Plan is based on 2,000 calories a day. The number of daily servings in a food group may vary from those listed depending on your caloric needs.
PLEASE CLICK ON THE IMAGE ^_^
* Serving sizes vary between 1/2 cup - 1 1/4 cups. Check the product’s nutrition label.
**Fat content changes serving counts for fats and oils: For example, 1 tbsp. of regular salad dressing equals 1 serving; 1 tbsp. of a low fat dressing equals 1/2 serving; 1 tbsp. of a fat free dressing equals 0 serving.
I WISH I COULD FOLLOW THIS… PAIN!!!! LOL
Dear Barangay Canlubang
November 2, 2010This is too much.
I voted because I want to exercise my right to vote… and complain eventually. And that eventually is now.
The SK Chairmanship is such a big hype. FRAUDULENT CANDIDATES should have been screened carefully. Canlubang is a big barangay and it begins to be smaller and smaller because it is being eaten by greed. This isn’t a country, this is just a barangay, and yet people are becoming hungry of power and money. If it isn’t for power and money, then what? How much do you get from being a barangay person? Unless…
I have to agree, the first term had made a few changes. A lot of people, however, speculated that if it’s the second time around, like what GMA had done, it would be more on taking back what was “lost”. Mr. Re-elected Barangay Chairman, prove to us that that speculation is wrong. I and the rest of Barangay Canlubang want to hear you: What’s with the Celo Scandal? Did Arnel Manaig, who is a close kin of yours, really win? What happens next?
I was thinking of voting for you. I even told a lot of people that I would. But at the last minute, I did not. Why? Because of fear… like a lot of people have feared of… Please say you didn’t, wouldn’t and won’t change a bit. Please take away this fear I feel.
If anything happens to me, dear fellows, go back to this note and call for justice. This is why it happens to the whole country: we tolerate it in local politics. We ask for change yet we ourselves cannot change.
With great powers come great responsibilities. Be responsible. Be honest. Do what is right.
