Ten Random Things About Me


I was tagged by Rye aka Flamindevil to list Ten Random Things About Me and it’s okay kasi wala pa naman akong na-iisip na topic for a new entry. As usual, the rule is to list down ten information about yourself, nine of them are facts and one is a LIE. So feel free to make a guess guys. šŸ˜‰

Ok, so without further ado, here it goes…

10 Random Things About Me

1. I was born in Valenzuela City, Metro Manila. My mom used to work as secretary at a local law firm. She quit her job because his employee attempted to harass her and so we moved back to Cebu when I was 5.

2. I used to be a mommy’s boy when I was younger. But as I was growing up, we’ve had conflicts which created a slight gap between us. But that does not alter the fact that I love my mom so much.

3. I am a 23-year old male virgin. No need to hurry. I am saving it for the right person and itā€™s gonna happen at the right time.

4. I stand 5 feet and 5.5 inches. Iā€™ve always been unhappy with my height and I am so obsessed of gaining more height that I even bought 2 bottles of Cherifer PGM 2 months ago. Even at 23, I am still taking it daily. LOLz.

5. I have a mild thoracic dextroscoliosis 25 degrees. My back looks a little uneven but no, Iā€™m not a hunchback. For more information about scoliosis. Visit Wikipedia.com and enter ā€œscoliosisā€. Hehe. ;p

6. I used to go to a gym as advised by my doctor. I had a physical therapist who used to guide me with the exercises. Kaso nung nalaman kong bakla sya, nag-quit ako kasi di ko sya type.. haha.. Nakakatakot sya kasi he was huge!! 5’11 ata yun!Medyo Chubby!

7. Iā€™ve had 3 official girlfriends. None of those relationships lasted 4 months.

8.When I was in Grade 6, I thought I was infatuated with our PE teacher!! He was very good at basketball. Now, I’ve realized it was just plain admiration. Perhaps I was just looking up to him like a father figure or older brother.

9. One of the movies that made me cry in a movie house was Steven Spielberg’s Artificial Intelligence (2001). The movie was like a story of a boy robot. It’s like a modern Pinocchio movie (as if di nyo napanood, hehe). The fact that he went that far but was not able to accomplish his goal, that is, to look for the blue fairy who can make him a real boy, and that scene wherein his “mom” abandoned him in the woods because they thought he might hurt their real son, oh it’s just so heart-breaking.

Watch the Movie Here:

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

10. Lastly, my favorite music artists are Jason Mraz and Michael Buble.

Wheow! Finally, I’m done with this obligatory post. šŸ˜‰
And I would like to know more about the following bloggers, hence, you guys are TAGGED.

KRISJASPER
JAJA aka Bella
Sir KOKOI
ABREL
DESZA

P.S: No Pressure guys, Take your time. Please, don’t hate me. Peace! =)

Mahal ko si DOTA

Napag-isip isip ko na marahil masyadong malungkot ang tema ng aking huling dalawang blogpost at ayokong makahawa o magdulot ng malungkot na atmospera sa blogosphere. Paumanhin po kung ganun man. At paumanhin po kung mali-mali ang aking Tagalog ngayon. Gusto ko lang talaga subukan mag-post ng purong Tagalog lang, ng maiba naman. Bisaya po talaga ako. šŸ˜‰

Nais ko pong ibahagi ang isang nakakatawang e-mail na natanggap ko mula sa isang kaibigan. Hindi po sya blogger kaya wala akong link na mailalagay.

Dahil ako po ay mahilig din sa larong DOTA, na-tuwa talaga ako ng matanggap ko ito.

DOTA Vs. GF

si DOTA isa lang sa mundo,
GF napakarami niyan.
si GF iiwan ka din niyan,
si DOTA hindi.
si GF nagagalit pagnagdodota ka,
si DOTA hindi nagagalit pag nagGF ka.
si DOTA P20 lang masaya na,
si GF baka P200 hindi pa masaya.
pagnakakakita ka ng ibang Hero hndi nagagalit si DOTA,
pero pagnakakakita ka ng ibang babae nagagalit si GF.
si GF pag iniwan mo mahirap na balikan,
si DOTA pag iniwan mo, handa ka parin tanggapin.
Ano mas gusto mo DOTA o GF?
mag-isip ka na….

GIRLFRIEND: Bakit ang DOTA ba maroromansa ka?
DOTA: Bakit mabibigyan ka ba ng gf ng
tripleng sarap pag naka triple kill ka?
GIRLFRIEND: Bakit ang Dota ba kayang kompletuhin ang pagkatao ng isang lalake?
DOTA: Bakit kaya ba ng babae gawing GODLIKE ang isang lalake?

BUT they have 1 thing in common:
Yun ay lagi silang anjan pag me problema ka. Pag natalo ka sa pustahan sa dota cno magpapasaya sau GF dba? Pag nagkaproblema ka naman sa GF cno magpapasaya sau DOTA dba?

šŸ˜‰

Kaya sa lahat ng girls jan, feel free to comment. Peru wag nyo po ako awayin ha. Hindi po ako nagsulat nyan. šŸ˜‰

Para sa mga hindi pa nakaka-alam kong ano ang DOTA ito po ay isang multi-player computer game. For more information, please click here:

Waiting Game

ā€œIs this seat taken?ā€
You asked while pointing to the seat in my front.
ā€œYes, but this one is not.ā€
I replied while pointing to the seat at my left.
I smiled. You smiled back.
It was the most beautiful smile Iā€™ve ever seen.
When I was hungry, you offered your snacks.
In you, I found a friend.
When I missed Flame of Recca, you were there to give me a recap.
In you, I found my best friend.

ā€œOur litle conversation
are turning into little sweet sensation
and they’re only getting sweeter everytimeā€¦ā€
– Fallin by Janno Gibbs

Just when I thought we were falling,
Come to think of it, You’ve left me hanging..
Perhaps I was at fault when I wanted more
from you but you can only give so little.

ā€œThere is hardly any activity, any enterprise,
which is started with such tremendous hopes
and expectations, and yet, which fails
so regularly, as love.ā€

My biggest mistake was when I tried to cross the line.
Thinking that you were feeling the same way too.
Now, the line has grown into a wall.
A wall strengthened by distance and time.
A wall that tells me to wait for you.
And so I am pushing my luck,
So Baby I will wait for you.


Wait For You – Elliot Yamin
ā€œI never felt nothing in the world like this before
Now I’m missing you and I’m wishing you would come back through my door
Oh, why did you have to go?
You could have let me know
So now I’m all alone,

Girl you could have stayed but you wouldn’t give me a chance
With you not around it’s a little bit more than I can stand
Oh, and all my tears they
Keep running down my face
Why did you turn away?

So why does your pride make you run and hide?
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it’s a lie
This is not how you want it to be

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I’m fine it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you

Been a long time since you called me
How could you forget about me
You gotta be feeling crazy
Oh, how can you walk away,
Everything stays the same
I just can’t do it baby
What will it take to make you come back
Girl I told you what it is and it just ain’t like that
Oh, why can’t you look at me
You’re still in love with me
Don’t leave me crying.

Baby why can’t we just
Just start over again
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance
I can love you right
But you’re telling me it won’t be enough

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I’m fine it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you

But this waiting game is killing me.
Cuz Iā€™ve been waiting for years.
Itā€™s been years that I long for your affection.
And I donā€™t know how long will I be waiting.


I like dead-end signs.
They at least have the decency
of telling you that you are
going nowhere.

Puppy Love

If smart people usually have stupid hearts, well, with the rate that my stupid heart is going, I must be a freaking genius!

That statement above that Iā€™ve read from Flamindevilā€™s post, Question Everything has really made a hell of an impact to me. Why? Because I believe Iā€™ve been cursed to live with a stupid and stubborn heart. And it reminds me of my puppy love. Might sound cheesy but it’s true.

With the number of times Iā€™ve had my heart broken, I canā€™t help but ask myself, ā€œAm I intellectually gifted?ā€ My mom would probably say ā€œYES!ā€ without a doubt. Why of course, sheā€™s my mom. Iā€™m her only son and she loves me.

Wayback in my elementary years, I may not be the brightest kid in class, but I never fail to be included in the top 10. When I was in grade 1, I got recognized as the No. 1 Most Outstanding Student with all other minor awards. Halos di magkasya ang dibdib ko to accommodate ribbons and medals. Haha! Yabang ba? Yaan nyo na po. Minsan lang to.

I graduated in elementary with honors and I belonged to the top 10. Ako yung tipo ng estudyante na hindi nag-aaral unless thereā€™s an exam the following day. Kaya ayun, hindi ako makapasok-pasok sa top 5. Hanggang sa gumradweyt ako ng High School, based on the ranking, top 6th of the graduating class daw ako. Thatā€™s why, I have doubts on whether I am smart or not.

Ngunit kung pagbabasehan natin ang pangungusap sa ibabaw, then I must be very smart or intellectually-gifted. LOLs!! Cuz I believe I have a very stupid heart.

Puppy Love

When I was in second year hi-school, I fell in love with my seatmate. Her name was Lynette*. She had a very cute smile. Her eyes were tantalizing. Yung parang nasa anime. We share a lot of things in common, thatā€™s why I easily fell for her. We were both raised with a single mom. Palagi kaming magkasama. Ako taga-gawa ng assignments. Taga-bitbit ng bag. Taga-gawa ng Art projects. She calls me ā€œbessyā€. I used to call her ā€œbuddyā€.

We both loved ā€œFlame of Reccaā€, a Japanese animated show in which Recca, the protagonist, claims to be a ninja and promised to serve and protect her princess all the time. Everyday we enthusiastically talk about what happened to Recca and her princess.

One time sabi niya, ā€œMon kamukha mo si Recca.ā€
ā€œIkaw nga din eh, kamukha mo yung prinsesa.ā€
ā€œReally? Owwss!! Talaga?ā€ Sabi ko naman, ā€œOo talaga!ā€

She gave me a wide smile and she had the most beautiful smile my eyes had ever seen.
And her lips were pink. I thought that was enough for an invitation so I kissed her. But she pushed me away. Then she stood up and walked away. Leaving me confused and broken..

That night I texted her telling her I was in love with her. She replied and told me to wait because her parents didnā€™t want her to have a boyfriend at that time. So I waited, and waitedā€¦ and until my heart has gone tired. But since there never was a closure or she never told me about until when should I keep waiting. Maybe, I’m up until now, my heart is still waiting. For how long? I donā€™t knowā€¦

One day, she texted me this quotes:

We have two eyes and just one tongue, which means we need to look twice and talk onceā€¦ We have two ears and just one mouth, so we need to listen more than we talkā€¦We have two hands and one stomach, so we need to work twice as much as we eatā€¦ We have two major brain parts and one heart, so we can think twice and love only one. Isnā€™t it amazing that our body parts remind us on how to live right?

Untiring Love

Tinatamad talaga ako mag-blog! These past few days maraming idea ang lumabas-masok sa isip ko peru tinamad talaga akong i-post ang mga ito at gawing interesting para sa mga kaibigan kong mambabasa.

Anyways, nakatanggap ako ng e-mail mula sa aking manager, na bihira lang mag-forward ng mga ganitong klaseng e-mails. Kadalasan kasi puro pam-pepressure sa trabaho laman ng e-mails nya sa’kin. This is a very interesting story. I really appreciate it that my manager took time to forward this e-mail to me.

(This is a true story that happened in Japan)

In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan tears open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet. He sees this, feels pity and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 10years ago when the house was first built. What happened? The lizard survived in such position for 10years in a dark wall partition for 10years without even moving. It is impossible and mind-boggling. Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10years without moving a single step since its foot was nailed. So he stopped his work and observed the lizard. what is has been doing, and what and how it has been eating.

Later, not knowing from where it came, appears another lizard, with food in its mouth. Ahh! He was stunned and touched deeply. For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10years. Such love, such a beautiful love! Such love happened even with this tiny creature.

What can love do? It can do wonders! Love can do miracles! Imagine what it has been doing that lizard untiringly for 10years, without giving up hope on its partner. Imagine what a small creature can do, that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind can’t. I was touched when I heard this story and started wondering about relationships between family members, friends, lovers, brothers and sisters.

As information and communication technology advances, our access to information becomes faster and faster that we can ever imagine. But the distance between human being… is it getting closer as well? I am convinced that the lesson of this all, is never to abandon our love ones. As the saying goes, ” One will never appreciate and understand the value of another until he is gone.”

Hitting Off the Wrong Bush

One of my most unforgettable experiences was when I got hit on the face for something I did not do or did not even have a clue on what was going on. It happened when I was 12.

It was a typical beautiful Monday. First day of the week. For some weird reason, I felt so good and was very excited to be at school that day. I was humming my way down the alley as I walk towards my classroom.

As I was nearing the door to my classroom, I saw Jake. He is the older brother of one of my classmates, Ben. For a 14 year-old kid, he already looked older than his age. He was already a buff as they say.

I used to admire and look up to him as an older brother. Just when I was about to say good morning with a smile, a hard punch hit me on my face. Worse was, the big fist landed on my not-so-blessed nose. Jake hit me without any warning. I felt the blood dripping off from my nose. Feeling ko, biglang nagka-black out!! I was totally clueless. That was the first time I received a very hard punch on the face. From someone I used to admire, I used to think as my ā€œkuyaā€, a protector. You see, I donā€™t have one. Iā€™ve always wanted to have an older brother. I felt so down, crashed, shattered and crippled. I couldnā€™t even stand up. To make it worse, no one helped me to get up from the ground. I couldnā€™t even say a word. All I did was stare at him with confusion. He then checked my pocket, my bag, and said ā€œAsa ang relo sa akong manghud?ā€ (Whereā€™s my brotherā€™s watch?) I remember that watch. It was new given by their dad to his younger brother. They both received from their dad. No, I didnā€™t get it. Iā€™m not a thief.


Good thing our class adviser came to rescue me. She brought me to the school clinic and Jake was brought to the Guidance Counselor. It turned out, I was just a victim by mistake. Someone found the watch somewhere on the ground.

But things has never been the same. I was broken-hearted. How could he right away accuse me without any interrogation! The parents apologized to me and to my mom. But Jake never did. But I donā€™t hold grudges. I know he was sorry. Itā€™s just that some people are not used to saying that or not used to admitting their mistakes.

I understand he was just being a protective brother to Ben.

Just recently, some things happened which refreshed this experience of mine. Thereā€™s this kid that was allegedly ā€œbulliedā€ by a certain team where I am currently associated. I heard his sister which is sort of a celebrity is kind of bothered or affected by that. Of course, thatā€™s normal. Sheā€™s just being a protective sister. Well, I indirectly heard nasty comments from her regarding that incident and I think thatā€™s disappointing. She should have known not everyone in the team participated or took part on that ā€œbullyingā€ incident. To be certain, I didnā€™t not do anything or took part into that. Once again, I was clueless about that and I am totally innocent. Apparently, she did not do any necessary research. How I wish those comments were not really from her.

P.S: Sorry, I know there are parts that i messed up with my English.. hehe.. I admit Iā€™m not very good at writing.. Ingats everyone.

Lucky by Jason Mraz feat. Colbie Caillat

Do you hear me,
I’m talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I’m trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard


I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don’t know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I’ll wait for you I promise you, I will

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we’re in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I’m sailing through the sea
To an island where we’ll meet
You’ll hear the music fill the air
I’ll put a flower in your hair
though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you’re all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I’m lucky we’re in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

100-Day Love Story

Most people spend half if not their whole life looking for the right “one.” We are all looking for that special someone to laugh with, to cry with and to be with the rest of our life. Ngunit pano kung, all the while, kasa-kasama mo na pala yung taong inilaan para sa’yo? Lumingon ka, to the left, to the right, pansinin mo yung bestfriend mo na panay ang kurot sa’yo. Yung bestfriend ng kapatid mo na panay ang dalaw at may dala pang siopao o kaya pansit kahit wala namang maysakit. Yung manager mo na ayaw i-approve yung mga leave applications mo dahil ma-mimiss ka, o kaya yung officemate mo na lagi kang tini-treat sa Starbucks, o kaya yung classmate mo na nanghihiram ng libro o kaya nagpapa-tutor kahit sembreak o Christmas vacation. Life is short, ika nga… Baka, pag-narealize natin na mahalaga pala yung taong yun, pag wala na sya… Kung kelan huli na ang lahat. Take for example Peter and Tina.

Tonight – FM Static

Peter and Tina are sitting in the park doing nothing, but just gazing into the sky, while all their friends are having fun with their beloved half.

Tina: I’m so bored. Just wish I have a boyfriend now to spend time with.
Peter: I guess we’re the only leftovers. We’re the only person who isn’t with a date now.
(both sigh n silence for a while)

Tina: I think I have a good idea. Lets play a game
Peter: Eh? What game?
Tina: Eem..It’s quite simple. You be my boyfriend for 100 days and I’ll be your girlfriend for 100 days. what do you think?

Peter: Oookay..Anyway I don’t have any plan for the next few months.
Tina: You sound like you aren’t looking forward to it at all. Cheer up. Today will be our first day and our first date. Where should we go?
Peter: What about a movie? I heard that there is a really great movie in theater now.
Tina: Seems like I don’t have any better idea than this. Lets move. (went to watch their movies and sent each other home)

Day 2:
Peter and Tina went to a concert together, and Peter bought Tina a keychain with a star.

Day 3:
They went shopping together for a friend’s birthday present. Share an ice-cream together and hugged each other for the first time.

Day 7:

Peter drove Tina up onto a mountain and they watch the sunset together. When the night came and the moon glowed, they said sat on the grass gazing at the stars together. A meteor passed by. Tina mumbled something.

Day 25:
Spend time at a themepark and got onto rollercoasters, and ate hotdogs and cotton candy. Peter and Tina got in the haunted house and Tina grabbed someone’s hand instead of Peter’s hand by accident. They laughed together
for a while.

Day 67:
They drove pass a circus and decided to get in to watch the show. The midget asked Tina to play a part as his assistant in the magic show. Went around to see other entertainments around after the show. Came to a fortune teller and she just said “Treasure every moment from now on” and a tear rolled down the fortune teller’s cheek.

Day 84:
Tina suggested that they go to the beach. The beach wasn’t so crowded that day. They have their first kiss with each other just as the sun is setting.

Day 99:
They decided to have a simple day and is deciding to have a walk around the city. They sits down onto a bench.

1:23 pm
Tina: I’m thirsty. Lets rest for a while first.
Peter: Wait here while I go buy some drinks. What would you like?
Tina: Eem…Apple juice will be just fine.

1:43 pm
Tina waiting for about 20 minutes and Peter havent return. Then someone walked up to her.
Stranger: Is your name Tina?
Tina: Yes, and may I help you?
Stranger: Just now down there on the street a drunk driver has crashed into a guy. I think its your friend.

Tina ran over to the spot with the stranger and sees Peter lying on the floor with blood over his face and her apple juice still in his hands. The ambulance came and she went to the hospital with Peter. Tina sat outside the emergency room for five and a half hours. The doctor came out, and he sigh.

11:51 pm
Doctor: I’m sorry, but we did the best we could. He is still breathing now but God would take him away from us very soon. We found this letter inside his pocket.

The doctor hands over the letter to Tina and she goes into the room to see Peter. He look weak but peaceful. Tina read the letter and then she burst into tears. Here is what the letter said.

Tina,
Our 100 days is almost over. I had fun with you during all these days. Although you may be greedy sometimes and less thoughtful, but these all brought happiness into my life. I have realize that you are a really cute girl and blamed myself for never taken the time to knowing that. I have nothing much to ask for, but I just wish that we can extend the day. I want to be your boyfriend forever and wish that you can be beside me all the time. Tina, I love you.

11:58
Tina: (sobbing) Peter. Did you know what was the wish I made on the night there was a meteor. I asked God to let us last forever. We were suppose to last 100 days so Peter! You can’t leave me! I LOVE YOU, but can you come back to
me now? I love you Peter. I LOVE YOU.

As the clock struck twelve, Peter’s heart stopped beating. It was 100 days.

NOTE*
Tell the guy or girl that you love them before
its too late. You never know whats going to
happen tomorrow. You never know who will be
leaving you and never return

Modern Love Letter

Let me share this extra-ordinary love letter that sounds more like a business letter. =)

Modern Love Letter
—————————-

My dear Maxine,

I am very happy to inform you that I have fallen in love with you since
Tuesday, the 8th of May 2006.

With reference to the meeting held between us on the 8th of May 2006 at 1500 hours, I would like to present myself as a prospective lover. Our love affair would be on probation for a period of no less than three months and depending on compatibility, would be made permanent. Of course, upon completion of probation, there will be continuous relationship training and relationship appraisal schemes leading up to
promotion from lover to spouse.


The expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be shared equally between us. Later, based on your performance, I might take up a larger share of the expenses. However I am broad-minded enough, to be taken care of, on your expense account.

I request you to kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this letter, failing which, this offer would be canceled without further notice and I shall be considering someone else.I would be happy, if you could forward this letter to your sister, if you do not wish to take up this offer.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Yours sincerely,
Max

MODERN REPLY TO MODERN LOVE LETTER

Dear Max,

Please refer to your letter dated today. I am pleased to inform you that I hope to accept your proposal for romance. However, you should be informed that there are certain conditions of acceptance. Promotional prospects are to my satisfaction. Please enlighten me as to your retirement benefits. Gratuity should be
generous.

I also need to be assured that there is sufficient security with regards to this commitment. If there is any chance at all of retrenchment or consequent disinterest on your part, then I should receive monetary compensation according to union standards.

Due to the nature of my ‘VIP’ position, I am sure you will agree that an expense account should be arranged for my access as I shall be entertaining. In addition, housing and transport allowances should be in order. I might add that I have expensive taste and have standard to keep and maintain.

Please also note that there should be no moonlighting restrictions placed on myself. If you are still interested in the relationship, please reply on an urgent basis as other prospective lovers have sent indications of interest.

Please also note that my sister is happily employed.

Yours perhaps,
Maxine!
