today

hmmm... well it was a beautiful day after all...

after attending the pre-climb (I JUST CANT WAIT TO HAVE MY FOOT ON MOUNT BATULAO THIS COMING SATURDAY!) we decided to go to Elmer's place... but i have to leave early to meet up with my family, it was my parents 27th anniversary yesterday and since i wasnt home early we get to have the dinner this night... North Park is freaking hard to find, that everytime i ask those guards they would point me at the PARKING LOT... and i am clearing to them that i am looking for the restaurant not the parking lot. and with the frustration, plus the fact that mama wanted to have chinese cuisine while my papa wants kare-kare... I DECIDED TO eat at Congo Grill instead... we had a sumptuous meal... the sisig was great but what i liked most is the tuna belly... and the kare-kare as well... ha ha ha. on our way home we passed by Fully Booked... and FINALLY i had my copy of "blink"! yahoo!!! another accomplishment on my checklist!!!

oh well tomorrow will be another week for me... and i hope its not as HELLISH like 3 weeks ago. ooops... i forgot I already have bought my ultimate weapon for all the malicious blows of some peeps around the office... my very own HEADSET! bwahahha.... just a headset! and lotsa CD's!!!

True Friends are HARD TO FIND

A Perfect Breather

After of being soooo much drained with all the fuss at work… I get to loosen up FINALLY!!! Though it was in the most unlikely circumstances… hmmm… why? Well we WITH MY TRUE FRIENDS… after our training… went to Sariaya Quezon to visit the wake of kakoki’s granny… but that wasn’t my main purpose, when I heard that there’s a beach few miles away (well it is FEW MILES away indeed) I just have to say YES I’M COMING when kiko asked me Friday afternoon. It was a long ride, 2-3 hours I supposed… I lost track because I’m not feeling well… it’s like NATRE’s back but still I have to quench my thirst for relaxation… after taking OF COURSE a lot of silly pictures with my pasaway friends… having lunch… devouring the special puto… discovering a distinctive chili… which I took a lot of pictures trying to focus on the red and the green one (it turned out splendid because of the Portrait function of the cam) and later on we discovered its tooo SPICEEEYYY!!! …finding myself a thinking hat… munching on some young coconut, well trying to… taking a pose with a cow… I get to release all the negativity that engulfed me this past few weeks… what did I do? Not the Mary Palmer thingie… I get to swim to the beach!!! The place is soooo cool! The water is oh so clear you get to see your feet while walking… we have to unpack our big asses ‘cause we need to get back to Manila for the training… WOSHOO!!!! As we crossed the Freaky Darkness of the road, a little surprise came along… we saw a snake crossing the road… maybe he got stressed out too with the other side of the road so he have to cross the other side to meet new friends… or maybe he’s just like me… in search for a perfect breather!

Trust no one but GOD

It was unfortunate on my part that I have to go through all the pain when the others seemed to not to care at all whether how I am suffering from the acts that was inflicted upon me.

I hate them. They turned their back at me then and now they want to say sorry to someone by destroying me. Good thing God never let me down… he always have his own way of guiding me in my battles in life. I am thankful that the open-mindedness of Rye, Marnz, Gladz and She helped me realize what kind of friends have I shared and entrusted my life with. Nobody stood up for me when I was being mocked by the biatch… and just because I was distant I have to go all through this? And that I am immature, super sensitive? What about WHAT HAVE I DONE FREAKING BAD TO YOU TO DESERVE THIS? Why is it I have to ADJUST because that’s him… why can’t they adjust BECAUSE THIS IS ME… but that sounds selfish! But whatever purpose this event is all about I get to learn something… choose your friends… be selective… you’ll never know who is true to you till the end. Thanks for those who still believed this is not just all about petty things. And I hope one day those who turned their back at me… I won’t be that harsh on you… if not I hope you can stand when I give you a doze of your own medicine. I am doing my own thing… why don’t you do your own. Stop showing you are strong… I know and I sense you are trembling inside. Just wait till I get through you… you will be the one leaving.

For you bozo! …you find strength in alliance but in solitude you are helpless. And stop doing silly things… I have expected too much from you… you disappointed me… haven’t you have anything MORE to give? That’s it?

There will always be those people that will bring me down every now and then, but I won’t let it take that long, I don’t get mad… I get even… and when the devil in me overpowers me… you better start shaking ‘cause I’m gonna make sure your life will be a living hell… bwahaaha

Other words of wisdom: Timing is everything. Choose the battle you want then make sure you’ll win. Don’t lay down your all your best cards at the start, let it hit them when they are already defenseless! Then follow through with a good laugh!!!

Green-Eyed-Monster (GEM)

They’re everywhere. They come into different forms… but nope not shape shifters. They just look like everyone else…
I have seen a lot of them all my life… and this may sound a bit shocking to you…. They’re even around you at work! They find strength with somebody else’s flaws and they grow in numbers quickly, Jealousy keeps them alive. They will never stop until they destroy your sanity! They will smile at you but blab about you right after. Pathetic it may seems living a life as such… but come to think of it… at the end of the day these monsters somehow gives the zest in your everyday life experiences.

WARNING: some of them may be one of those you consider as your friend… so be vigilant. Here are some samples of them…

GEM#1: BITHCY PIG. They are the one with that vicious smile; they appear to be nice and all but the phony in them shows off as soon as they gave you their smile.
GEM#2: THE FRIENDLY BASTARD. They are the type who is very competitive, loves to reach out but once they feel threatened with your worth, you better start watching your back.
GEM#3: SARCASTIC BEAUTY. Of them all, they are those who are pretty darn obvious, you get to know in an instant if you are being ridiculed.
GEM#4: HEAVENLY ASS. They are those who project good image but deep inside they are full of shit. They throw malicious statements at you.

How to handle these kinds of monsters? IGNORE them… they will improve your patience!

Twist of Fate

How hard it is to say things that have been bothering you, when you’re having lots of them… I don’t know how to start… shoot! Now I need to spill the beans! Ah… at least some of it… oops! Wrong move… I just gave them the wrong impression…

Being distant is far different from ditching out friends. I am aware that everyone have their own drama in life, not being selfish but I am not that good in hiding emotions, as one good friend told me that I am so transparent. Well everything then has their pros and cons.

I have made a move and there’s no turning back now. IT’S AN EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL???? No, I just want to explain my side. How come when I was the one giving out opinion I am always misunderstood?

HOW HARD IT IS TO UNDERSTAND THAT I WANT SOME AIR TO BREATHE.

Talking to other’s when you’re in deep shit sometimes really eases the pain. Either after taking you discover three things: that you are not the only one who’s in deep shit; that you are not the one who really is on deep shit or the other one would think that he’s not the only one in deep shit. Right after I’ve had a talk with sandee… I said to my self… I am still living a normal life.

And so today I made a friend an angel… January 9th 2007… marked as Sandee-Turned-Angel-Day…

Quotable quote… “at least pareho na tayong may positive stickers!... Sana more than a planner lang kapalit niya once we filled up every single slot!”


Good things comes the least you expect it. I just got a very very good news! And it is what I needed after all! I can’t wait to see my mother and tell her about this. I was given an adjustment and its freaking just-in-time!!! Yahoo!!!

Life is so full of twists and turns!

The perfect gentlemen who was ditched over a dog

It’s funny that after few years of being single, and you got used to it, you get to meet another person that will somehow gives you the thrills and excitements you have on first dates. I always feel that way… on every date… you could quote me on that! But this is not about me though, this about a friend, a new one. He’s been antsy of this rendezvous with a girl he’s been constantly chatting with for 8 months now. It was a good laugh to see his face when he was thinking of what could happen after that rendezvous… I can’t help it he looks like that character in the comic that is published at Tempo. He has a lot of hesitations, and he’s thinking about so many things about the girl and a lot of what if’s as well… and he was telling me he’s not in love yet. FINE!!! Come Friday night, I texted him and wished him good luck and throw some palaboi reminders (can’t say words of wisdom!), he told me that he’ll be saying something to me if ever we cross path through YM… and that’s impossible now cause the freakin YM is busted! Grrrr!!!... Well back to the story… of course the palaboi won’t wait for another time… if you can tell me the details now! TELL ME!!! That time he was too darn tired to get up and have his phone loaded, but after few minutes he started blurting it all out… thanks to his sister who got him loaded… and so the date was cancelled… and the reason was that dog which was given to the girl by her dad, as she said she needs to cancel the “date” cause she needs to take the dog to the vet. It was so annoying to be so excited about something then in just a snap that excitement will be replaced by disappointment. Not to mention the lame excuse! Anyways… while talking through to this friend of mine I get to know him better… there are some good points that might be useful and some I don’t agree… but I won’t mention which is which… it’s up to your discretion…

Just a reminder, these are written down as texted…Here goes:

*She bailed on me over a dog. And it’s not even a long time pet, a new dog. Like how’s that suppose to make me feel? We were suppose to have coffee. She said she feels really bad about it, and that next time will be different and she’ll pay for the coffee to make it up to me. Sabi ko nlang, yeah, maybe next time. But there wont be a next time. I don’t have plans of asking her again. I can buy my own coffee thank you.*…I don’t believe that guys should be at the mercy of girls on or before courtship. We also have the right to say “no, this won’t work!”*…I’m not mad, just a little disapointed. Think I’m gonna show her I’m no ordinary dead-beat guy & the thing about me is, I don’t ask the same question twice… I asked her once and that’s it.*It’s kinda like playing basketball. I don’t like being benched. I know I’m good and I don’t deserve to be in the bench. Especially when the guy playing my spot is a two-bit dufus who can’t even dribble. And to know that I’m being sat on a bench because of a dog is even worse.*I won’t be no dead horse for no woman. The thing about me is I don’t really give my 100% at the start. I give it my all when I know I have something special already.*You know what they say, in a card game; don’t use your good cards early in the game. Wait for the right time; use it only when you know you have a winner in your hands.*To me courtship and dating is a game. But before you think I’m an insensitive prick. Let me explain. It always starts out like a game. But as it goes along, that’s where things become more serious to me. Knowing that you’re playing a game with a worthy opponent. Someone who earns your respect and adoration that you just have to bow down and say “you win”.*Courtship and dating is like a game. But relationship and commitment is not.*I’m not cocky, never.*I like dogs, so I’m not jealous… she’ll regret it anyway. He he he, I’m walking away from this with a big friggin’ smile on my face.*I hope the dog will take care of her when she’s sick, or hold her hands and reassures her when she’s scared, uneasy or uncertain. Hahahah bitter! Ei joke lang!*I am smiling, and the good thing about it is that I’m not faking it. At 23 I feel like I’m much too old to let things like this break my spirit. That’s what experience has thought me…*…I’m just saying let it go. Your friend was out-charmed by a dog. A very expensive dog, I know. One that rich fathers give to their daughters to make up for the fact that they’re sucky parents.*There’s nothing wrong with being single. I know a lot of people who are in relationships and miserable. At least I can say that I’m doing fine, not great, but at least I’m doing fine, on my own.*Al, I’m not bitter. A bit disappointed, but not bitter. Bitter about what anyway? Because she decided to take the dog to the vet instead of meeting with me? Don’t even qualify as an argument.*Bitterness is when you know someone owes you something and be deprived of that. She doesn’t owe me anything and vice versa. She’s not obligated to put me first. That’s one thing about establishing connection with someone, you do it because you want to not because you owe it to that someone.

Oh well the next messages are not for public read, sorry for that. Just sorted out what I think is vital for some. This, I hope, would serve as an eye opener to women as well… not all men will bow down just because he got interested at you. Men are not just after your booties, some of us are sensible too… we feel what you feel too sometimes. And please be reminded that MAYBE, just maybe… that guy will be talking to a friend (LIKE I DID) till the wee hours. I’m the victim here! Hehehhe… just playing…

Peace bro… like I’ve said I’ll be writing an article about this… now it’s your turn! You have my blessings!

Random thoughts by alboi palaboi

Well I’m back! Yes definitely more entries this year! That’s one of my goals for 2007, get rid of the laid back entries and gibberish thoughts… hmm… will try about the gibberish thing. Anyways year of the pig… I won’t be a lazy pig though! And hopefully by the end of the year I get to give my horror-flick-wannabe story “the gum” a finale.

Plans… Goals…
This year… I’ll be generously do push ups every morning and keep track of my progress! This is for the preparation for the international races I might join this year… priority: Bora then if time and financial aspect permits Macau…
I will save at least php500 on my personal account EVERY PAYDAY and resist the temptation of being impulsive buyer. A lot of peeps have generated income with that palaboi attitude. And of course that won’t stop me on being metro sexual, I would add stuffs to my wardrobe once a month, and the self pampering goes along with that. Bring at least 50 bucks per day and php50 pocket money for the JIC times. One gimmick per month. I started to stop drinking, and so far I am doing well. One bottle is enough. But wine!!! No limits!!!! Jog once a week, Tuesdays or Thursdays, with RCP peeps. Swim and flex some muscles at the gym every Saturdays and attend at least trainings every Sundays. Start to get serious with the business minded palaboi projects, started with the buy and sell but if that fails, the money will be used for prepaid cards and venture into selling Ferdie’s manto, and as soon as the ITR form will be given, get some capital through personal loans @ GE Money Bank for the franchise of either the siomai stand or the sisig stand. As soon as I get to hold on the SL payout, 1500 will be allotted to the tinapa business of Aldwin and Cynthia; the other for my financial obligations. STI… 25% for savings, 25% for new shoes and 50% for financial obligations. 13th month pay will be allotted for gifts. Champ incentives 50% checking account, 50% allowance. Referral bonus, 1K checking account, 2k 50% checking account and 50% book. Books to buy: BLINK, For one more day (morning), Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Oops! I’ll try to apply for BPI Credit Card and this time control the demon within the card; I will be using the credits wisely. And when I mean wisely… the impulsive palaboi is not included!

This year my ultimate goal is to move out from my parent’s house and be independent.

And the list goes on…
Visit Ellinwood at least every first Sunday of the month, do my Novena every Wednesday, anywhere would do. Refrain from holding on to grudges and live up with my motto. “Before you…”
I’ll try to visit some old friends every month at least, and check on them every now and then. Just to make myself visible to them. Lovelife? Hmmm… maybe it’ll be the best reward I’ll ever get for myself this year. But I’m not in a hurry, the year just started. Besides I don’t think I’m ready to get into another roller coaster ride after 2 years. Darn was it really 2 years? Anyway… inspirations will always be there. I got many of ‘em! Ha ha ha. What about sex… my FUBU is just a text away, but then again my hands were free! Free to text that is!

Checklist…
Here’s some more “hope-to-get-done-this-year” list of mine:
*Get into Spanish Class
*Enroll for any computer courses
*Restore my artistic skills
*Go out of town at least once every quarter (those places I’ve been to doesn’t count)
*Improve my cooking skills and when I get to invest into some cooking stuffs, let’s do some business wit it shall we?
