Jelly ace

I was craving for something sweet after i had my sea-food filled lunch. So, I got a bag of jellyace. I picked the yellow ones because I am already familiar with their taste. After all the yellow ones were gone, i tried to pick up the green colored jelly ace. It tasted awful. After that moment, I learned a lot of things. One, the bag of jelly ace is like the world filled with people possessing diverse personalities. They have different colors and tastes. Two, if you try to stick to the yellow ones, in which you are familiar with, you always get the same value. You will never learn what the other colors taste because you were afraid to try. Third, after trying the green colored one, I had it already marked in my memory that i would not pick up the same color again. Like in life, you would not have to pick up again the wrong choices because you have been there, done that and realized it is not worth it. Talking about over analyzing things =))

My personal letter for Mr. Cockroach

** I've been digging on old files on my laptop and found this old note. :) I think i made this during elections :)) Can't believe i forgot about this. And the letter for mr. cockroach is just so cute**

Dear Mr. Cockroach,

I really do not get your purpose in life. Is it to scare the hell out of me? well, guess what, It sucks because I do get scared of you. A night before last last night (go figure when is that haha!), I almost slipped inside the bathroom because I heard one of your guys creeping on our bathroom window! It sucks, I swear. It sucks. You know the feeling of wanting to scream and run as far as possible but you guys do not get it! You can not scream and instead of running, YOU FLY! And if you did fly that night that is the scariest event of my life, ever. Please, just get over it okay?! You scare me and a lot of other people and IT IS NOT FUNNY! you're giving me the emotional and psychological trauma! Okay, here's the deal, I will not kill any of you but stay 1000 meters away from me. i know there's a million of you out there but i do not want to see proof. please, just please, get your guy out of our bathroom window. thank you very much.

Of Gordon and Gibo

I'll not sing of Gordon and Gibo right now. and i guess, if i do, it would be too late because you have already marked those circles and passed it unto PCOS machines. I am eligible to vote but unfortunately, I was not able to register so you can just see my father's disappointment upon knowing that I will not be participating to the country's most important event. My father and I are political geeks. Way back, we argue about things that really doesn't matter to most people because it's way too boring to deal with. Well, yea, I will not rant about anything or about anyone just because I simply do not have the right. I did rant way back but I guess, it's of no use.

I was a spectator on this presidential race. I loved. I hated. I laughed. At first, I've been rooting for the man in orange. I told to myself, I'd rather have him than the one in yellow. Orange, however, received a lot of corruption issues. So, I waited for the other list of candidates and from then and there, I have found the Lakas-Kampi-CMD presidential candidate green. Aside, from the very remarkable credentials, he stands out from all the other candidates. His answers are very well thought of and never a bunch of goobledygook.

As the presidential race goes on, shits were thrown all over. The psychotic presidentiable. The corrupt presidentiable. The bashful presidentiable. The gloria's pet presidentiable. And the list goes on. So many presidential forums. So many promises. and again, so many shits. After grilling everyone, you can really tell who's lying and who's of pure heart. I have seen Gordon's light. In the presidential forum that was held in La Salle, Gordon helped his fellow candidate Gibo from all the grilling and bashing. I salute you Gordon for expressing fairness. Since then, I believed in these two. Gordon and Gibo.

Sometimes, I can not help but notice a biased network. Kulang na lang siguro magsuot sila ng yellow na ribbon. Really. Yesterday at church, our pastor was convincing everyone to pray and vote wisely. He then asked who's voting for the following candidates. I raised my right hand when he called out Gibo. And surprisingly, I was alone on that fight. He smiled at me. then he called out, Gordon. I raised my left hand. And he laughed and said, 'ikaw ha, puro matalino pinipili mo. Parehas tayo.'. I was not surprised with the majority who raised their hands to noynoy and erap. Now, seriously, I do not get the point for voting Erap again. Even the cab driver campaigned Erap to us and mom just tss-ed. Okay, sorry i'm ranting again. But see, ever wonder what would happen if it's Erap all over again? I think he needs to rest because of his knees. That's what he should be doing now.

And please, do not get carried away with the survey. Do not let it rob your ability to think for yourself. So there, I sincerely hope that Gibo or Gordon would win this election because truly there can be a difference. We need change and improvement. This country has long been buried to shame and we need to stand up and fight and that starts up with a good leader. If ever Yellow wins this race, I would comply. And please, Paninidigan niyo yung boto niyo. Hindi yung pagkatapos ng ilang araw, buwan o taon, magwewelga kayo at sasabihin niyong bumaba siya sa pwesto.

A toast for a change. Happy Voting.

The Bandwagon

Whatever happened to originality?

Last Monday, I was with my gab eating at a cozy carinderia along taft because we do get tired of the toxic fast food chains. As we were enjoying the food, abs-cbn begun airing a two minute [more or less] commercial for their "new" primetime telenovela entitled 'imortal' starring John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin (She's still a wolf. From her past telenovela na i think she's also a wolf, wth, I think she's really a wolf in her past life). Everyone in the carinderia, stopped whatever they're doing [and for the win, i think this carinderia has a wi-fi because i saw someone using their laptop. what a very convenient carinderia], and gazed at the screen and said words like 'ohhhh', 'hala' and some are just plain 'haha!'. My hubby and I started naming the characters like 'John Lloyd is EDWARD!' like you can tell he is edward because of his exag powder white face [pati yung make up ginaya! the hell! or they just really want a foreigner vampire? not the filipino kind of vampire.] Whatever happened to us? I tried to understand that maybe this show would somehow be different to twilight and so, i forgot the whole thing.

Then now, just now, I saw again the advertisement for the show. Out of curiousity, I went to their website and read the story.

http://imortal.abs-cbn.com/

You be the judge. But for now I say, it's coincidentally so twilight-ish. It's quite interesting to see a Filipino version of the very popular dark villain turned protagonist vampires [which happened to be my favorite dark creature even before stephenie meyer dreamed about it] but still it sounds like it is some stinking jologs version for twilight which is as worse as a tagalog dubbed twilight version played on your screens.

Don't get me wrong guys. I sincerely believe that Filipinos are very talented and i'm proud to be pinoy but what i do not like is that why should we have to jump in to the trend of vampires or even jump in to the trend of having a musical show with drama, i mean we can do better than that! Why don't we make a comeback for aswangs, kapre, tiyanak, tikbalang and rest of the gang?

But well, it is too early to say these things, I shall give them the benefit of the doubt. Moreover, the artists are good ones so i think the roles would be given a bit of justice. Let's watch out.

I like Magkaribal though it is like a concept of Gossip Girl but still i think it can survive on its own. I mean, it doesn't have to ride on the popularity of another show. I like the touch of fashion on the show, it's excellent. And their shoes; their shoes are to die for.

Coffee talk. I was missing La salle's figaro just this afternoon. [And you could really feel my frustration after knowing that I can not experience the cbtl at the lib, die!] I asked my Korean friend if we have a coffee counter on the cafeteria and she said why do i have to go for the cafeteria when i could just go to the vending machine. A VENDING MACHINE!?! like this one??
Because when I was in La salle, vending machines are for coke in cans. IN CANS.

I'm sorry I can not find a photo for the actual vending machine for coffees. It has cups inside, paper cups, and you can press in whatever way you want your beverage like you could choose latte or the plain one or espresso and etc plus the odd one out, milo. It's actually my first time to encounter an eco-friendly uber sossy vending machine serving my favorite beverage. I feel happy at the moment. Continuing my discoveries, there is also a vending machine for juices inside the campus. What a health conscious eco friendly stylish vending machine. Ha-ha!

The Jeepmates

"Doon oh, sa may waiting shade!"

I don't know her name so i shall call her 'JEEPMATE'.

Dear Jeepmate,

Haha. I understand the use of 'shade' meaning uhm, shading you? Haha but I seriously think it is waiting shed or i'm wrong? Kasi diba we call our sunglasses as 'shades' kasi it's blocking our eyes from the sun so like 'akin na SHADES ko'. I did not know na applicable din pala iyon sa waiting SHADE. Hehehehe. And please, stop saying na it's humiliating na you have to ride a jeep with your monster boyfriend and co-pasosyal because if it's really humiliating, i would not be seating beside you or i would not have encountered you at all. Grow up.

Without love,
Kat
