Wala akong nagawa...

Alam mo yung pakiramdam na nagsusumabog yung init ng ulo kasama ng kulo ng dugo mo sa kalagitnaan ng trapiko sa Ayala? Ganung ganuna ng pakiramdam ko kanina. Nagpupumiglas na yung mga ugat ko sa inis. Hindi ko makuhang mapakitang galit ako. Ni hindi ko masigawan yung mga traffic enforcers na yun. Ni hindi ko mailabas yung galit ko. Mahinahon ko silang kinausap nang parang hindi ko nakasanayan gawin. At hindi ko gustong hanggang ganun lang ang nagawa ko.

Gusto ko silang bulyawan. Gusto kong kunin isa-isa yung mga pangalan ng Makati Traffic Enforcers na yun kasama ng pangalan ng bus at yung plate number nila. Pero HINDI ko ginawa.

Hindi ko alam kung karuwagan ang ipinakita ko kanina pero matapos yung mga pangyayari, kulang na lang buhusan ako ng isang timba ng malamig na tubig para lang ibalik sa tamang temperatura ang buong katawan ko.

Napapamura ako habang naglalakad sa kahabaan ng Ayala papuntang opisina. Bakit kasi hindi ko ginawa yung sa tingin ko'y dapat kong ginawa nung mga sandaling iyon. Sobrang palpak! Bakit hanggang sa isip lang lahat? Bakit hanggang sa blog lang? Hindi ko kinayang harapin silang mainit ang ulo. Bakit mahinahon ko silang sinermonan? Bakit?

Hindi ko talaga matanggap yun. Pero habang inilalabas ko sa mga sandaling ito ang init ng ulo ko ay unti-unti namang pinalalamig nito ang pakiramdam ko. Siguro nga, nakatama rin na hindi ko sinabayan ng init ng ulo yung driver ng bus na kung tutuusin ay mali naman talaga. Pero kung hidi rin naman kasi sandamakmak na gago tong mga traffic enforcers na'to, mano ba namang kunin ang lisensya na lang, tiketan ang driver nang makaalis na rin kagad kami? Di ba? Kasimpleng gawin! Ano pa kaya ang mga napag-usapan nila sa likod ng bus? Badtrip talaga!

Alam kong mahigpit ang batas dito sa Makati, kaya naiintindihan kong dapat itong pairalin anumang oras. Sana naman, bigyan din nila ng konsiderasyon yung mga pasaherong direktang apektado sa polisiya nila. Kami rin naman, higit kaninuman, nakikinabang at makikinabang nang mga batas na mahigpit nilang pinaiiral.

Cebu Dancing Inmates to honor the King of Pop Michael Jackson

Inmates from Cebu, the ones who made the dancing inmates sensation in YouTube, are asking the foreign press to cover them as they will perform a special number for the late Michael Jackson. This isn't to gather another attention from the international folks but they would just like to salute and commemorate the iconic pop legend who's hit song 'Thriller' was used by the dancing inmates on one of their performances posted in YouTube and marked their worldwide popularity. Hopefully, the group could penetrate again the international press for this special performance. This will only prove that along with various special citations and performances which will be presented in honor of the King of Pop in various parts of the world, Filipino fans are also affected with his sudden death.

Thanks for Chico of Monster Radio RX 93.1 for the information that I got from his commentary on one of their news discussions with on-air partner Delamar on their morning radio program, The Morning Rush.

CVG Day Shift Officemates Day Out!

Yung summer vacation ko ay saglit lang naman talaga. Pero super ko namang inenjoy! Though tinodo ko rin naman yung work hours ko dahil nasa day shift naman ako nagrereport noon, kahit papaano, nakagala pa rin ako. This time with my officemates, Zai and Arni, sa day shift na parehong schoolmates ko rin! Hahaha! Saya! Memories! Memories! Last week na rin kasi namin ito sa CVG Enterprise Center kaya naglipat na kami ng mga gamit papuntang CVG G5, tapos nanalo rin ako ng Glorietta 4 Cinema tickets kaya isahang celebration na rin. Katatapos lang din nito ng summer classes ko. Saya talaga! Here's some of our pics:

Anne Curtis is back with The Wedding

Ang tinaguriang Diyosa ng Philippine television is back with her newest primetime series on ABS-CBN! Anne Curtis is back with leading men Zanjoe Marudo and Derek Ramsay in The Wedding.

Sa pagbabalik ni Anne sa Primetime Bida, isang romance-light drama naman ang dala niya after ng heavy drama soap Maging Sino Ka Man and her telefantasya Diyosa.

Balik Kapamilya naman dito si Ms. Eula Valdez after matapos ang reunion soap nila ni Ms. Jean Garcia sa Kapuso network na All About Eve.

Kasama rin sa cast ng pinakabagong teleseryeng ito ng ABS-CBN sina Michael De Mesa, Alwyn Uytingco, Mich Dulce and Irma Idlawan. Sina Jeff Jeturian at Mae Cruz naman ang direktor ng The Wedding.

Abangan ang muling pagpapaibig ng Diyosa ng Pilipinas sa pagbabalik nito sa Primetime Bida simula June 29!

Ok. Fine. Whatever!

Hindi naman sa ayaw ko nang makipagkita sa'yo ni makipag-usap. Kelangan ko lang makasigurong kapag humarap ako sa'yo, handa na akong harapin ka. Pakiramdam ko kasi, hindi pa ko nakakaget over sa'yo. Mapaparanoid lang ako. Mawawala ako sa sarili ko. Ayokong magmukhang tanga sa iba dahil sa'yo.

Ewan ko ba! Gustong gusto kita makita pero pinipilit ko ang sarili ko na wag sundin yung kagustuhan ko dahil ayokong mapahiya yung sarili ko. You know what I mean? Its so hard for me! It wasn't you! Hindi tayo pwedeng maging magkaibigan hanggat may nararamdaman pa ako sa'yo. Let's leave these things as it is kahit pa ganito kahirap i-overcome yung bawat decisions ko to stay away from you. Dahil ito ang tama! Kahit masakit para sa akin yung tama. And I'm so sorry for myself kasi I had to go through all of these hard times just to be normal.

Wala nang Magic sa School: My First Day High Drama

First day of school. First day lang talaga siya.

Hindi na gaya ng dati na parang may magic kapag first day of school. Hindi na gaya ng dati na bago ang lahat. Hindi na gaya ng dati na pinaghalong kaba, takot at excitement ang nararamdaman kapag first day of school. Ngayon, wala lang. Parang wala lang. Hindi ako excited. Mas nakakastress pang isiping first day na naman kesa maging alive and uberly excited na pumasok sa klase.

You know the first day of school before? Alam mo yung amoy ng eraser, ng lapis, ng papel, ng notebook, ng libro, lahat! Ibang-iba di ba? Ramdam mo na this is going to be an exciting school-year. Parang ganun ba? Then you'll meet your old friends and classmates. You'll chat with them with your adventures nung summer vacation. The movies you've watched, the places you've visited, everything! But now? Its kinda' different. I'm tired of doing the usual school stuff. I'm tired of pushing myself to finish college with this course!

Today is June 15, first day of school and pay day! But you know what it makes me feel like I've been such a loser? Halos lahat ng sinahod ko, napunta lang sa tuition ko. Nakakafrustrate. Hindi ako happy na ang lahat ng pinagpaguran ko, sa school lang mapupunta.

I know! I know! Hindi lahat ng tao ay nabibigyan ng pagkakataon na makapag-aral. Hindi LAHAT! And I know some who are begging to their parents and relatives just to finish school. Pero, iba ang situation ko. Basta! Ang hirap i-explain. Marami akong academic conflicts. Marami akong prinsipyo na nasasagasaan at ilang ulit nang pinasagasaan.

Wala na ang magic sa school. Hindi na ako masaya. Para saan pa nga ba ang point ng pag-aaral when you're just pushing yourself to do this. Para makagraduate at magkaroon ng magandang kinabukasan? How sure? Magkakaroon nga ba ako ng magandang kinabukasan after graduation?

Ewan ko ba. Feeling ko, after ng first day of school ko, sobrang exhausted na ako. Just the thought that my next four months will be another 'sapilitan' months.

Adik Sa'Yo is a sure hit on GMA TeleBabad!

Muling nagbabalik tambalan ang minahal natin na comic love team na sin Jolina Magdangal at Marvin Agustin. Matapos ng super successful na I Love NY! teleserye nila noon, muli nating makakasama sa GMA TeleBabad ang dalawa kasama ang unang pagtatambal nina Dennis Trillo at ng uprising Kapuso drama princess na si Jenica Garcia.

Napanood ko ang Adik Sa'Yo Marathon para sa una nitong linggo at base sa acting stilts ng apat na bida, panalong panalo ang pinakabagong teleserye ng Kapuso Network!

Ito ang muling pagbabalik teleserye ni Jolina Magdangal after Narito ang Puso Ko at I Love NY! na parehong tinangkilik ng mga manonood. This time, isang nerd, sticky-note-type Jolens ang role niya.

After SRO CinemaSerye Ganti, Marvin Agustin is back to be paired with his long-time love team Jolens. Isang successful hunk naman ang role niya rito na super in-love sa nakababatang kapatid ni Jolens - si Jenica Garcia.

First time na magiging bida si Jenica Garcia sa isang primetime soap opera. Matapos mahalin ng mga tao ang kanyang mga previous roles, tiyak na mas mamahalin pa natin ang isa sa mga leading ladies na ngayon ng Kapuso Network.

Dennis Trillo is now being paired with his newest partner - Jenica. Hopefully, this one will work though may chemisty sila.

Abangan ang pinakabagong teleserye ng GMA na tiyak na magpapagulong sa inyo sa katatawa! Sa pananaw ko nga e, parang hawig ang pagkakaproduce ng Adik Sa'Yo sa Fated to Love You. Anyways, sana maging consistent ang show sa story plot at tumaas pa ang rating!

Ulan.

Nakakamanghang pagmasdan ang ulan. Nakakainggit. Mabuti pa siya, nagagawa niyang ibuhos ang lahat. Nagagawa niyang ilabas ang nagngangalit na kalooban. Makikita mo sa langit ang pinaghalong kulog, kidlat at madilim na kaanyuan - banta na nagsusumiklab ang poot na dinaramdam. Mararamdaman mo sa hangin at sa patak ng ulan ang tindi ng kanyang galit. Walang pinipiling lugar. Walang pinipiling panahon. Lahat apektado. Lahat mararamdaman ang ibig niyang sabihin. Walang limitasyon. Klaro. Kumpara sa tao, maraming liko-liko. Maraming isinasa-alang-alang.

Pinoy Youth celebrates 111th Philippine Independence Day with Ako Mismo

Despite the success of the Ako Mismo campaign, there were rumors spreading that the information gathered from the campaign will be used commercially. This is the reason why PLDT and Smart Telecommunications announced that they were the ones who initialized the project.

Ako Mismo's Dog Tag Day held at the Bonifacio Global City Open Fields was a success uniting every Filipino who attended the event, majority of which are youth, to enjoy concert performances from various popular local bands and to be committed to be of help for the country.

Ako Mismo triggers the initiative of the Filipinos to do something for the country, that everything will start within ourselves. The campaign is very important that it woke up the national pride and united the people with a common goal.

I guess, the movement was yet to trigger the majority of the population though the project is promissing. Hopefully, the campaign will reach all sectors in the country not only the internet generation.

John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin on ABS-CBN's newest Teleserye?

Good news sa lahat ng mga primetime drama addicts! ABS-CBN is cooking up for a new primetime team up. This time, it’s John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin to finally lead a new teleserye in the Kapamilya Network!

Yes, it’s true! Angel Locsin is now planning to go to a workshop to hone her acting skills. According to Angel, “Siyempre ang galing umarte noon, eh. Tsaka may tendency kasi ako na kapag nagagalingan ako sa katrabaho ko, nanonood na lang ako, nakakalimutan ko ‘yung dialogue ko. Ayoko naman nun di ba?”

Angel has been paired to numerous primetime drama princes including Richard Gutierrez, Dennis Trillo, Piolo Pascual and on her current soap Only You to Diether Ocampo and Sam Milby. His team up with John Lloyd Cruz will be as exciting as we are seeing her doing her firsts on ABS-CBN.

The new teleserye is yet to be finalized. It’s inclusion to PrimetimeBida is yet to be confirmed.

So tired!

Nagsisimula na naman akong mapagod. Sa mga ginagawa ko. Sa mga pinaplano ko. Lalo na kapag iniisip kong malapit na naman ang pasukan sa school. For sure, maraming disappointments na naman. Hayz!

Tao nga lang talaga ako. I can’t do everything. Hindi rin ako robot para maging sunud-sunuran sa mga batas sa paligid ko. Nakakapagod talaga.

Iniisip ko pa lang yung school, naman! Nakaka-stress! Gusto ko na kasi mag-shift. Pero, basta! Hindi pwede! Period. Period. PERIOD.

Hayz! Kailangan ko ng motivation. Kailangan ko ng driving force. Come’on guys! Cheer me up! Hahaha! No need! Kaya ko to! Ako ang pumasok dito, dapat kayanin ko ring lumabas. Kailangan ko lang ng encouragement. Tsk tsk.

Hindi ko alam

Hindi ko alam kung anong dala mo ngayon. Hindi ko alam kung bakit sa pagkahaba-haba nang panahon, naalala mo pang bumalik. Hindi ko alam kung anong plano mo. Hindi ko alam. Hindi ko alam.

Hindi ko alam kung alam mo kung paanong sinira ng pagkawala mo yung buhay ko. Hindi ko alam kung alam mong basag na basag ako nung mga panahong wala ka. Para akong palaboy na walang direksyon ang buhay. Asar na asar ako sa sarili ko noon na ginawa kong karugtong ng buhay ko ang isang taong gaya mo. Pero hindi kita sinisisi. Hindi ako nagalit sa’yo. Dahil alam kong kasalanan kong lahat nang yun.

Ngayon, pagkatapos ng lahat. Pagkatapos kung bumuo ng bagong simula. Pagkatapos kong bumuo ng bago kong buhay sa bago kong mundo, nandito ka na naman. At hindi ko alam kung para saan ang lahat ng ito.

Ang gulu-gulo. Sabi ko hindi ako magpapa-apekto. Bahala na. Pero kapag pagod na pagod na ako galing trabaho at itutulog na sana ang mga nalalabing oras, naiisip ko yung mga sinabi mo. Naiisip ko yung mga mensahe mo. Bakit? Bakit mo ginagawa ulit to? Bakit?

Hindi mo ba naisip na may bago na akong buhay? Hindi mo ba naisip na bago na ang lahat sa akin? Hindi mo ba naisip na maari mo lang magulo ang lahat ng binuo ko ngayon?

Dati, noong mga panahong hinahanap ko yung sarili ko para makatayong muli. Hinayang na hinayang ako sa mga nangyari. Na kesyo pwede pa namang remedyohan ang lahat pero may mga nagsisilbing hadlang. At hindi mo maikakailang isa ka sa mga naging hadlang dun. Kaya nakapagdesisyon akong buwagin yung mga pangarap kong binuo na kasama ka. Durog na durog ako. Hindi ako makapag-isip ng tama. Wala ako sa sarili parati. Balisa parati. Mainit ang ulo. Ilang buwan kong dinala yung hirap. Mag-isa kong dinala yun. Dahil kasalanan kong lahat kung bakit ako nagkamaling piliin ka.

Ngayon, nandito ka. Sa tingin mo, paano kita tatanggapin? Paano kita kikilalanin? Ni hindi na nga kita kilala. Ni hindi na nga yata ikaw yung dati kong nakilala.

Sabi ko noon, siguro kapag ikaw naman ang lumapit, baka maging malambot ako sa’yo at dagli ring kausapin ka na parang wala lang. Hindi nga ako nagkamali. Parang ganun na rin ngayon. Pero hindi ko talaga alam kung saan hahantong ang lahat ng ito. May mga tanong pa rin na pilit na kumakatok sa isip ko. Hindi ko maiwan ang magduda. Ikaw nga ba yan? Ikaw ba talaga yan ha? Pero bakit? Bakit ngayon lang kung kelan halos makawala na ako sa bangungot ng kahapon?
