Maligayang Pasko Sa Lahat!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!

It’s Christmas season once again in the Christmas capital of the world that is Philippines. In my country Christmas season starts from the month of September when malls start putting up Christmas decors the same time with goblins and monsters. Festivities don’t start until the thirty first of October, all souls day when families hold their reunions in cemeteries. That’s why for Mr. Jack O' Lantern, Philippines may not be the best place for him to hang around because he sure doesn’t want to share Halloween with Santa Claus. Decors hang around until the whole month of January, the festival of three kings (I think). In Silang Cavite, it even stretches until the month of February the town fiesta. So if you have plans to visit Philippines during these festive seasons, better prepare yourselves especially your belly for endless partying.

Know Your Enemy

Minsan iniisip ko na sana alam ng buong mundo na pangabi ang aking trabaho. Minsan din gusto kong maglagay ng sign sa harap ng bahay namin na “Pls. keep quiet, night shifter sleeping.”

Pag pang gabi ka, gagawin mo ang lahat ng paraan para lang makatulog ng mahimbing pero dahil nga imposible na ang buong mundo ang mag adjust sayo ay kelangan alamin mo ang iyong mga kalaban.

Una una, dahil nga dito sa NZ ay “nature trip” kaya ma damo at ma puno ang paligid, maya maya ay merong nag mo-mow at nag tatabas ng puno sa kapitbahay. Talaga naman pag umandar na ang mower ay nabubulabog ako! Grabe naman naman!

Anjan din ang mga nag de-deliver ng maga package namin ni Jeng na ewan ko ba kung bakit sa lahat ng oras eh ten ng umaga dumadaan na parang feeling ko e nananadya atah. Kaya siguro eh, kung bomba ang laman ng box eh tatangapin ko pa rin dahil bangag ako pag tinatangap ang box.

Ito pa ang isa, ang inspector ng bahay namin ay ang hilig din dumalaw ng umagang umaga, kay pasensha sha kung malanghap nya ang aking hininga. Buti na lang kahit na bangag ako eh di ko nakakalimutan mag suot ng shorts pag binubuksan ko ang pinto, wag naman sanang mangyari na mawala ako sa sarili at i welcome ko sha ng naka brief.

Minsan din tumatawag ang scheduling department namin at tinatanong ako kung gusto kong mag start ng maaga. “Hello!!!!???????” mambubulabog ka tapos tatanungin mo ako kung gusto kong mag start ng maaga?!!!! Sagutin mo ang tanong mo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lastly ang mga Jehova, jusko po…

Cooking Ng Ina

Ang swerte ko. Ang swerte swerte ko.

You know why?

Minsan lang ako mag yayabang mga kapitabahay kaya pag bigyan nyo na ako.

Because all the women in my life knows how to cook and they cook oh so gooooood!

Umpisahan na natin sa aking lola from Bicol. Shempre Bicol ano pa ang masarap dun kundi laing. Da best mag laing ang Lola ko at iba iba pang luto na may gata. Masarap din ang kanyang pansit. Then and Mommy ko lam nyo naman Bicolana din so kung ano ang alam ng Lola ko eh alam din nya at the best ang kanyang spaghetti. Then my two sisters who has their own specialties, naalala ko nun nung nag be-bake pa ang aking eldest sister ng mga cakes. Pamatay ang kanyang apple pie, blue berry cheesecake at chocolate cake na parang galing sa langit then my youngest sister naman ay magaling sa pasta at iba iba pang ulam at specialty din nya ang buko pandan.

At shempre pa ang aking wife na napaka laki ng achievement sa pag luluto. Imagine eh nung nasa Pinas pa sha eh mejo di pa sha ganun ka galing pero nung nandito na kami ay no choice but to learn how to cook at hindi lang sha natututo, talagang pinag igihan nya. Unang una sa listahan nya ang kare kare, gggggggrrrraaaaaabeeeeee!!!!!!!! Alang sinabi ang Bario Fiesta hah, ( oh ala akong gusting bilhin na star wars oh audio cd hah, honest comment ito) tapos nanjan ang beef with rice noodles, jan din ang buttered chili prawns, sarap din ng apple pie namin kaso tagal na namin di ginagawa kasi mejo hataw sa pampatabahhhhhh.

Yum yum! Burp! Busog! Solb!

My Own Space

I would like to thank my wife for giving me my own space. Once a week I have the opportunity to spend time with myself. Now, that one hour I can spend either going to the gym or the library.

Lets face it we all need our own space sometime, a moment when we can pamper ourselves, revive our physical wellness, explore different things, think about options.

Having a time away from Ethan and Jenny makes me miss them badly and it’s a good feeling.

Well I was born in the sign of water
And it's there that I feel my best
The albatross and the whales
they are my brothers
It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Starin' at the full moon
like a lover

Well I've never been romantic
And sometimes I don't care
I know it may sound selfish
But let me breathe the air

Good Luck to all Pinoy band finalsits of
WORLD BATTLE OF THE BANDS. Kahit sino man manalo lam ko na kayang kaya nyong lampasuhin ang ibang countries. Go Pinoys!

first you save yourself
then you save the world
but first you save yourself
i’m a great explorer, i’ve been exploring your mind
i found giant rivers, mountain ranges never climbed
i’m a great explorer, but now i’m lost inside your head
i don’t have directions just a heavy load instead
you said you’d save me if i ever got lost
i’m a great believer in believing in you
but i don’t have a compass,
no plans for pushing through
i guess i’m pinned down, bad weather’s on the way
i need your shelter now
living in an unforgiving world
and it doesn’t help us very much
if you throw the line to someone else
first you save yourself
then you save the world
but first you save yourself

State of Nirvana

Nirvana is the final state of liberation. It is a condition where nothing actually happens, moves, changes or becomes. Is it a state of bliss. This is called the cessation of becoming which is "neither arising, nor passing away, neither standing still nor being born, nor dying. In Nirvana, one is unborn, without source, uncreated and unformed real into which escape is possible for the beings through cessation of craving. Is it a passing away into some void, into some nothingness, into some state that is without a center and without a boundary. Blah blah blah…..ek ek ek

Mga kapatid di mo na kelangan mag aral ng kung ano anong meditation technics para ma achieve ang highest high dahil I have discovered the perfect way to achieve a state higher than Nirvana.

Kung handa ka na ay makinig kang mabuti
