An Awful truth

If you happen to be a person who is very unsatisfied in your current condition then the article i read recently is for you. Its about the appalling situation of people living in the slums of Haiti, in an area called Hinche. Where they actually make and eat mud pies. Dust were being collected then strained through a cheesecloth, separating it from twigs and stones and mixing it into a batter. Once the batter is made, it's swirled out onto plastic mats and dried in the sun. They're normally eaten by pregnant women and sometimes children. It was a horrifying reality when i realized i was too anxious about my future when these people had nothing but dirt. In this event, you cant just blame it all to the government or mouth off an accusation to the many injustices in this world. This is a case of poverty stricken area,where people can't do anything but struggle only from the scope of how they could cope each day. And Its not a call for us to start on a fund raising action and rant over the inadequate distribution of goods. For me, the sense of knowing that these awful truths pass off in many parts of the world is sufficient enough for us to be motivated and be grateful. And just a thought about them and a simple prayer may be able to move their terminus pit ...by faith.

Not the usual Saturday

I woke up later than my usual time in the morning, cuz i came home late from a freelance meeting.

We discussed several things that'll hopefully lead us towards a beneficial steering. It was getting a little perplexed though, the facilitator that night was tanked up from a couple of red horse. He was a freelance editor who seemed like a male version of Gara, dreadful at first sight but talks a lot of sense, Another was a 3d senior guy who resembles Goofy and gave us an unstoppable gag. [pero di nya alm na natatawa kme sknya]. The group is actually a good alternative than being idle at home. A better way of observing different people in the same industry. It is also fun to watch people in a state of being intensely interested to something i am also fascinated, something that builds our morale altogether. The same night, I got a text that made me relate to this song

This morning Van asked me a favor if i could join her at makati around 12noon. She just need to attend on a commissioned work. After everything is done, she made me libre at Yellow Cab. We talked about our anime classmates and their anime fixation, also other stuffs that we like to pursue. We walked in the halls of Greenbelt mall with all the kinds of temptations. Para kaming naglalakad at lahat ng nakikita namen eh gusto namin bilhin.Pero nanaig padin ang kabutihan at pagtitimpi. We went home around 5 pm. Thaz what you call CLEAN FUN.

7pm, My cousin Ricci's Birthday celebration.. What else can i say to a senior citizen. whhahahaha!!!

the ULAM game

It's funny to reminisce the times when we were younger and still very palyful. Naalala ko noon newbies pa kame as Film Restorator. Morning shift kami nila Tin. Gara, Kateng at Julia. Minsan inaabot kami ng matinding boredom kaya inaaliw ko sila sa aking mga jokes. Pag ayaw nila dahil corny, nagiisip ako ng mga games na walang kwenta. One of our favorite game was the Ulam game.

Kunware mga gulay kame at paninda sa palengke.
Eto ang narrative. [think batibot mode]




BETTI: O kelangan magluto na, ano kayang lulutuin nya?
JULIA,GARA, TIN, KATENG: Isip kunware
BETTI: Ah!! Sinigang!
BETTI: Pupunta na ako sa palengke at bibili ng mga gulay at sahog
BETTY: Hmmmm si Betty ang baboy.
TIN: Ako ang Toyo
JULIA: Im the sitaw
KATENG: Ako ang sampaloc
GARA: eh ano ako? [galit mode]
TIN: paminta ka nlng gara?
GARA: ayoko nga!..alam ko na, ako ang labanos kasi maputi ako..
BETTI: cge..bibilin ko na ang mga gulay.... teka manong bakit me lupa po yung labanos?

you'll probably guess kung sino ang dugo sa dinuguan? heehee = )

Non stop Talkien

Last night, I attended a group meeting whose main objective is to provide protection for freelance artists. It was successful in a way because there were many attendees. They were also very engaging and open to the idea of making it happen. Hopefully, in a couple of months this org will push through and be able to help liberate freelance artist from abusive companies.

After the meeting i had a very rare chance of talking to wonderful people. Thats no other than Gara, Kateng and Raks. We had coffee and talk about so much. Now, i realize that we are more receptive to topics we don't usually discuss. Like talking endlessly then suddenly i stood up and break the conversation. "Lets go!" without any resolution to the matters we've perceived. Were talkin' too much i guess, and we need to break up and go home.
Raks went home alone in a cab and the three of us [gara, kateng and me] were together.
Heading home was another trouble...Are we really going home now? Lets go somewhere and talk about life unceasingly and wait until one of us breaks into a goodnight sleep.

As usual, Gara was the first one to shut her eyes. Like she was in coma, still aware of her surrounding's but decided not to make any unnecessary movements. Overall, It was a night of so much learning and understanding.

im so not over it

This explains everything i feel

the least i could do is to miss you.

hhmmmm

Apparently i don't have anything clear to say. I wanted to post all my delayed posts like some pictures from different celebrations i attended. I would also want to share some of my musings and rants about many different topics and issues which all together took place and came across my mind. But I'm too tired to think and have my fingers key in the letters.

I dont crush you anymore

Listen i have kwento... i have never been in love in my whole life.. only once to a married person.
Second. i never had a crush..only to a super nice director at work...later i found out hes gay..though I'm not sure yet, I'm really sunken down to my seat.i have falsetto voice because i couldn't believe.
It was a devastating news, hes my only crush in my life. hes like next to Ethan Hawke and even much much on top of Derek Ramsey. From now on i will never allow myself to fall ..no one is going to touch me..only Belo can touch my skin.

Note:
you know what else, i have his picture taken last Christmas party. and hes was smiling and hes eyes were dopey...now your gay?

Note:
Its not that I'm biased to gay people or something that i decided to detach my self from this "gay"
[not yet sure] crush of mine. But i don't know, there was something inside me that died down the moment i heard of the issue. I'm more than happy for him when i learned that he is happy and gay.And i hope he finds love in the arms of the one he truly loves...which i guess is a man. =)
