There are lessons to be learned in life… And sometimes, you have to learn it the hard way… I would like to think that these lessons make you stronger… But sometimes, they just make you sad and disappointed… It's harder to nurse feelings of sadness and disappointment rather than dealing with angry feelings… I guess it is because you have great respect for the person who hurt you... :(***

They say, when life gives u lemons, go make lemonade.My take: when life gives u lemons, gather them up and throw them hard at the person who is making your life miserable. Ang taong masipag, malayo ang mararating. My take: ang taong mahangin, mas malayo ang mararating. Coz you know, i have a friend that you all know!!! It is better to give than to receive. My take: how can you give when

DUH Moment #1kahit nakakahiya mang aminin eh iku-kwento ko na din... kasi in fairness, na prove ko na di ako nag-iisa sa DUH moment #1 kong ito... dahil aminin man ng iba, eh nabiktima din sila o napa-isip ng matagal-tagal bago nila na gets ito.... kaya I'm sure maraming makakarelate sa akin....pano ba naman.. palagi ko na lang ito nakikita sa may lasalle... isip isip ko pa...

It has been a long time since my last entry... and it has been equally as long (or longer ata) since I have seen my college friends. Kaya naman talagang di maiiwasan na medyo magkahiyaan kami ulit... Actually ako lang naman talaga ang palaging MIA... busy-busihan kasi ako with school, work and baking... kaya ayan.. na-overwork... na-overstudy... at na-overweight!!!!!So when my friends and I met

Akala ko it was going to be a very relaxed atmosphere in class verging on the “nakakatamad” mood because it was already 6pm pero not all the students are present… tapos bigla na lang may narinig kaming alarm…. Sympre, the ever uzizera that I am eh lumabas ako para maki-usyoso! To my surprise, the students, as well as the teacher, in the other class were panicking… they were busy gathering up

When Shelby and I went to PGH about a month ago, we saw this baby who at first seemed to be a burn victim. Nagtutuklap kasi yung balat nya tapos medyo may konting bleeding-bleeding effect pa… super nakaka-awa yung bata noh… yun pala allergies pala yun! Sobra naman akong naka-relate kasi nung bata din kasi ako eh I was plagued with allergies… as in ipinanganak akong may allergies… sabi ng mommy ko

I wasn't able to bring Pong to the Philippines... di na ako masyadong nag-effort na mag usisa pa sa EVA air kung pano ko sya maiuuwi kasi feeling ko mahal yun. kasi papa-quarantine pa sya.. tapos since meron syang bukol sa neck nya eh sabi ko na malamang mahal talaga yun kasi bibigyan pa sya ng mga medicine para lumiit yung lump nya sa neck... kaya ayun... iniwan ko na lang sya kay Auntie Lolit

the reason why i started writing blogs (in my friendster account) was because i wanted to keep a journal.. so that i won't forget the things that have happened to me here in taiwan... para 20 years from now.. or when my memory is failing me eh i can access those memories and reminisce... kaso ngayon, i'm doing it for fun... parang its my way of releasing stress... eh sus.. di ko naman akalain na

fact: I've always been fat... never kong naranasang maging payat... actually nung bata pa ako eh ang talagang dream ko eh sana... one day ...eh maging malnourished ako... kaso talagang mailap ang tadhana... di pinagbigyan ang kahilingan ko...

I must admit.. marami din naman akong ma-mi-miss when I leave Taiwan for good this coming July. Sympre 2 years din naman yung inilagi ko dito... so kahit panay reklamo at mga sumpa ang bukam-bibig ko eh na-appreciate ko din naman yung mga nuisances and inconveniences (sympre kelangan may "s" yang mga yan dahil sa dinami dami ng na-encounter ko ditong lukring eh kulang pa ang isang "s" noh!) na

I'm not really bothered that up to now, i still don't have a lovelife... syempre if someone great comes along eh bakit ko naman aayawan di ba...wait lang ako... sabi nga ni kats baka naligaw lang... pero para ako mismo ang mag-hunting para sa kanya eh ibang usapan na yan... kaya nga di ko maintindihan kung bakit a lot of people are taking it upon themselves to find me a good match... eh pag

i really had the strangest dream.... napanaginipan ko na nakahuli daw ako ng snake.... i used my bare hands to grab the snake... tapos parang i strangled the snake hanggang mamatay ito.... tapos binalatan ko daw sya.... parang peeling a banana ang style ng pagbalat ko sa kanya.... so intake pa yung head... with glaring eyes and sympre ang mga sharp teeth.... tapos yung skin nya intact na intact

hay nakoh! next level na to! sira na nga ang tv tapos umalis pa ang housemate ko! nawalan pa talaga ako ng kausap... every month kasi she goes home to the phil to visit her family... so medyo sanay na ako na mag-isa dito sa kanyang house... pero naman itong loka-loka kong shobe eh sabihan ba naman ako na baka meron ng nakatayo sa likod ko habang nag-co-computer... aba... aba! talagang nanakot...

title palang sounds dramatic na... parang napaka-OA naman.... pero para sa akin this coming days will be really bleak and super duper depressing... pano ba naman nasira yung tv dito sa house...huhuhuhuhu....grabe tv is my life! I remember back in high school, palagi akong pinapagalitan ng mommy ko kasi periodical test na sa chinese eh tv pa din ang inaatupag ko... sabi ko naman sa kanya "eto o,

Ang buong akala ko.... malakas ako... may angking tapang na tinatago... ngeks! wala pala.... Akala ko kasi makakaya ko ulit ito. Kasi nga naman I was able to stay here in Taiwan for about 8 months without any hint of homesickness tapos biglang... out of nowhere eh nandito na sya... ramdam na ramdam talaga... Hay noh! Its been quite a while since I've been back pero eto pa din ako hindi

I've been here for another 3 months (umuwi kasi ako nung October dyan sa Pinas) and sympre being the freak magnet that I am, eh pwede ba namang lumampas ang ganitong matagal na panahon na di ako makaka-encounter ng aking ka-tropa. Hay naman talaga! Parang may national convention of freaks dito at akala siguro nila eh ako ang kanilang duly appointed representative kaya naman palagi nila akong

Must have rosy cheeks. Sympre para malaman ng mga tao na may buhay ka pa at di ka pa naninigas sa lamig. Must possess a positively happy attitude. Kasi sympre gloomy na nga ang panahon di ba. Must possess thick layers of fat. Ka-kailangin mo yun panangga sa lamig. Syempre di ka naman bibigyan ng Diyos ng bilbil kung wala naman itong silbi... am I right or am I right! Must be willing to wear

Siyempre di ko namalayan na malapit na pala mag-christmas... sobrang ibang-iba from the previous yuletide celebrations... dati kasi August pa lang eh nag-sisimula na kami mag-Christmas shopping. This year, di ko namalayan na eto na sya... na-realize ko na lang na "aba Christmas na pala" a week before. Hay, kasi syempre di nila sine-celebrate ang Christmas dito. Sure there are some stores na may

A lot of my friends are asking if I ever feel homesick. Sabi ko palagi "Hindi." Actually, medyo na-we-weird-uhan nga ako kasi bakit nga ba hindi? I even asked my friends here kung kelan ba na-ho-homesick ang isang tao. Sabi nila usually daw after 2 to 3 months. The first month daw kasi parang everything is new and exciting that all your energy is focused into absorbing and adapting to these

Kakainis naman... meron akong ear infection... sakit-sakit sobra ng left ear ko! Pano kasi may pagka-praning ako when it comes to cleaning my ears. (FYI: I have about 7 wooden earpicks plus packs of cotton buds... over di ba since dalawa lang naman ang tenga ko!) Everyday ko silang binubuting-ting. Feeling ko kasi dapat malinis sila palagi at free from any blockage para naman magkaroon ng proper

I know that a lot of people would testify that the Southbeach diet really works... pero ako di talaga.... I've tried it before and I'm doing it now... well, I WAS doing it pero I decided to stop... nkaka-depress kasi... walang saya ang buhay kasi walang sugar rush... feeling ko I'm cranky all the time... eh yun yung pinaka-ayaw kong feeling kasi isip-isip ko.. mag-isa na lang nga ako dito eh

I had this entry stored up in my PDA for a couple of months now pero di ko dinadagdag sa blog ko. Ganito talaga yung mga pumapasok sa isip ko, yung mga serious, "grown up" topic na medyo verging on the morbid type when I am having those gloomy days, feeling down and can't sleep at night. Kaya nga as much as possible I don't want to entertain sad feelings kasi gusto ko palagi happy happy

The basic mode of transportation of most Taiwanese is the motorcycle. Even the gramps and the grannies can give you a run for your money when it comes to speeding around town with their handy dandy motorized bikes. My friend, Michelle, is thinking of getting one for herself. Kasi nga naman its really convenient... a 20-minute walk just takes about 5 minutes when you ride a motorbike. Pero ako

di ako pala-simba nung nasa manila pa ako... pero since i've been here in Taiwan, i've started attending Sunday Service in a Christian church... its mainly because of Achie Luz's influence... nevertheless, i'm not complaining because its given me the opportunity to read the bible and to study chinese na din... the service kasi is in mandarin... so isip isip ko instead of enrolling in a language

Ang mga Pinoys talaga.... Aside from my preschool stint here in Taiwan, I also try to squeeze in some part-time tutorial jobs. One time meron akong nakasabay na group of Pinoys in a bus nung papunta ako sa house ng student ko. Although they could've seated right next to each other, they opted to sit at different sections of the bus... meron sa harap, sa gitna at sa likod. They were really

Parang tumataba ka ?!? Marami kasi akong pambili ng pagkain... ikaw, parang pumapayat ka?!? Gumaganda ka ata ah!! Bakit? Pangit ba ako dati?!? Di ka pa nagkaka-boyfriend? As in ever?

Yup, that's me!!! Ewan ko nga ba pero yung nasa Manila naman ako I rarely encounter freaks....Pero here in Taiwan, first week ko pa lang eh meron na akong na-encounter. Usually it's when I take the bus or train... Talaga naman magnet kasi naman tumatabi na lang sila sa akin. And when I say freaks, yun yung mga may sayad sa utak... yun bang bigla na lang tatawa for no reason at all... Eh di

When I was about to leave for Taiwan, I was contemplating on what i would definitely miss. Syempre, given na that I would miss my family, my friends, my students at Clay and Potter and our pet dog Jigs. Pero ang talagang ikinasama ng loob ko eh yung ma - mi - miss ko na korean soaps... suki kasi ako ng Divi where I buy my pirated copies =)
