MULTIPLY SUNSET

Hi Multiply!

I've learned that you'd  be removing the social networking stuff from your site. I was kinda disappointed. Although most of my contacts here in multiply no longer use its social networking function, I continued to patronize your site. But I must understand, it  was a hard business decision for you. Anyway, thank you for serving as my diary for the past years. I hope you would prosper on your future endeavor. I wish you all the best.

P.S. please provide some easy option to transfer blogs, pictures, videos, etc. on other site. Thank you!

THE CURSE OF THE XPERIA EXPERIENCE

Just last Tuesday, July 31, 2012, I experienced my first holdup. Nasa FX ako with Dada. As the FX goes to Quiapo bridge from Metropolitan theater, a guy wearing cap and has huge backpack declared holdup and pointed a gun to everyone. He asked for everyone's cellphone. Yup only cellphones. He got Dada's phone and her ring. Akala ko makakaligtas na ko but then he shouted at me "hoy ikaw di ka pa nagbibigay!" and then he hit me my thigh. Ganun pala yun, you'll be caught off guard. Nakalimutan ko lahat ng naisip kong gawin in case nga na makaencounter ako ng holdup. I was shocked siguro. At first, I wondered if the gun was not fake. But at the time, I think I would want to know. I wouldn't want to risk my life if it's really a gun. It was just a cellphone. Makakabili pa naman ako. He got all our things as the FX decended the bridge. As the FX pulled over, he walked as if nothing happened. We reported the incident to the police station but it's frustrating that the police said he could not leave the station since he's the only police there. He said he texted already his colleagues. Gawd, text lang?! Don't they have radios and to think na rampant holdapan dun, walang nakatao?! I can't help but think that they were accomplice. Out of frustration, di na kami nagpablotter and we just headed home.

It was a traumatic experience for me. Ganun pala yun, the next day pa talaga magsisink in lahat ng nangyari. Sana ginawa ko to. What if ganito ginawa ko. Kasabwat nya kaya katabi ko. Pano na contacts ko. Totoo kaya baril niya. Nakakainis. I know, I am thankful that we're still alive and cellphone lang yun. Nakakainis lang bakit may mga ganung tao na ninanakaw pinaghirapan ng iba. mas malaki naman katawan niya kesa sakin. It's frustrating. Pag gising mo, naiisip mo pa rin nangyari. sa tuwing sasakay ka sa public transpo, nagiging suspicious ka na. I can't relax anymore. Nakakastress. I hope I would get over it soon.

Maybe I wasn't that strong person. Maybe I was too trusting.

And then it strengthen my belief that the worst invention of man is gun.

THE CHASED

Your love, it's like hitting a bull's eye with an arrow and I was blindfolded. But it was worth taking the shot.

Thanks for taking chances on me. Thank you for giving me your hand.

LBP MTP GRADUATION

Pasensya naman, di talaga ko mahilig magpicture pag okasyon eh.hehe. Hindi kami kumpleto dito. Marami naman sa facebook.hehe.

Nalate pa ko dito, buti tinawag pa rin ako. Disadvantage ng nasa unahan ng alphabet ang surname.hehe.

Landbank Plaza, Malate, Manila.

MTP

I should have written this last week, kaya lang pumunta ako Caramoan kaya di ko na nagawa.hehe

After almost 7 months of the training, we had our Landbank's Management Training Program Graduation last April 25, 2012. Parang kelan lang, kabado ako kung makakasama ako sa program. Then problema kung pano makakasurvive and makapasa on every module we had. And now, the question is what awaits us after the program, and we get deployed on units they decided. But I don't feel much pressure as much as the others feel. Perhaps it's my thinking that we'll be train again anyway. Kung anu man ang ranking ko sa batch, I don't care. Mabuti pa nga eh nakapasa ako. But I know I didn't give my best on the program. I should have exerted more effort as I promised to God when I prayed for my qualification. I'm sorry. I know it's my problem: knowing I'll pass I didn't exerted much effort. I knew I could give much more but I settled on just passing and relaxing. I have wasted a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's always like that. I know what's my problem but I didn't do anything about it. Worse, I keep letting that happen again and again.

Oh well, I know the problem. I hope I would be mature enough to change that kind of attitude. I'm 22. I just had a good shot on the start of my career. Of course it's just the end of the beginning. I have so much yet to learn and to prove.

WOW! CARAMOAN, CAMARINES SUR

April 28- May 1, 2012.

Siguro nga makasarili ang hindi magpaalam. Masaya lang talaga ang mawala na lang bigla paminsan-minsan. Just rewarding myself after MTP.hehe. Tangaers lang nawala ko pa battery ng Alpha. These pictures were taken through my Xperia mini pro. Pede na. pero sayang, maganda sana CPL para dito. :(

Caramoan, Camarines Sur.
Going Green and Blue. Going Wow! Philippines.

THE CHASE

Your love. It's like trying to hit a bull's eye with an arrow. And I'm blindfolded.

DADA

you're killing me. 

WHAT DO WE MEAN TO EACH OTHER?

Ain't good anymore. Parang si Senorita nagiging Macky part 2?!

SIX STOPS OF THE BOULEVARD

A glimpse of you I caught
you're beautiful more that I thought.

Out of nowhere our eyes met
my heart beat I'd never forget.

You caught me staring I had to look away
you got me high in your own way.

Parting ways seems to be so hard
I wish for heavier traffic along the boulevard.

The thought of you comes first in the morning
knowing I'll see you again is what keeps me going.

If you'll just give me your hand
I'd love to be your man.


I wrote this without the intentions of showing this to Dada. Kaya lang makulet siya eh.hehe. Sinulat ko and binigay ko after namin manuod ng sine last Dec 9, 2011. New Year's Eve ang title ng movie. Ang di ko makakalimutan eh she's very beautiful that day. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung tama bang umamin ako sa kanya. Mawawala ba siya sakin o me chance na maging kami?

Bakit Six Stops of the Boulevard? It's the Espana Blvd. Up to now, di ko sure kung six nga ba ang traffic lights along Espana.hehe. Everyday after the training, hatid ko siya from Landbank head office in Malate to Welcome Rotonda in Quezon City. I haven't done that yet. Kaiba talaga siya sa lahat.hehe. Kung ano patutunguhan ng panliligaw ko, hindi ko alam. Ang alam ko lang eh, I would love to be her man.

CROSSROADS

Right now, I'm on a good start on my career in a government bank. If I play my cards well, a good future is up for me. Is this really what I wanted? I'm not yet sure. And I guess this what affects my performance on the training. I'm easily distorted. Short attention span. Sleepy head. I can't grasp well on the discussion. Is this really my passion? Or am I just out of focus? Classroom lecture modules are just about to end. OJT and revalida are yet to come. Will I be able to make it at the end? With my attitude right now, I'm not sure.

Ano nga ba talaga gusto ko? All I know why I chose to work for Landbank is that it's a government agency. It's not about the monetary compensation. It's as if I have to return the privilege of free education. And maybe, that nationalistic part of me back in my elementary days that I want to serve the State and the Filipino people.

But what really is my passion? Public service? I don't know. I wasn't raised of that kind of thinking but I would love to be part of the betterment of the country (cheesy, corny, whatever). I must admit, I'm still immature. No concrete plans. Not sure what I really want. Don't know where to go. *sigh*

I love cars. I love to travel (in the Philippines particularly). I want to have my own businesses someday. What would it be, I'm not sure. But it would be nice if it's related to cars or traveling. I want to have my own farm too. Grow different kinds of trees and see my kids playing around them. That's what I'm sure of right now. Right, I just want a simple life.
