one DAPSILOG please!!!

what a relief for us that my brother finally recovered from dengue. for the first time, i feared for his life, dahil umabot sa 40+ na lang ung platelets nya, which should be 200. i even asked my mom, so what happen if it reaches zero, and she answered fearfully.."eh di patay" --- bigla kong naisip na baket uso ang salitang "patay." recently, as everybody is aware, former president cory aquino pass away. at tulad ng dati na ang tao ay pinupuri ng husto kapag sya ay nasa kabaong na. nagbalik tanaw din sa mga mahahalagang pangyayari nung EDSA 1, kung saan wala pa akong muwang nun. pinalabas din kung paanong ang bawat pilipino kahit marami ang pagkakaiba, pinagsasama sama pa rin tayo kapag demokrasya na ang pinag uusapan. ganun kadami ang taong nakidalamhati ng mamatay si ninoy. ganun din kadami ang nalungkot ng mamatay si cory kamakailan lang. tingen ko nga umiral ang pagiging makabayan naten --- ang mga musika nung EDSA1 ay binabalik, ang mga video footages, ang mga taong naging malakeng bahagi nito. siguro ganun lang talaga kapag mabuting tao ang namamatay, marami ang nalulungkot at nakikiramay sa mga naulila ni cory. minsan nga iniisip ko na kung ang bawat tao ba ay may kamulatan sa kung ano ba talaga ang demokrasyang pinaglaban nila noon? meron pa bang demokrasya tayo ngayon? si noynoy kaya mananalo kapag tumakbong pagka bise presidente? si kris kaya tatalikod sa showbiz at magpupulitika na rin? pano nila pinaliwanag ke Josh or sa mga taong may authesim, ang salitang "death?" meron pa bang susunod sa yapak ni cory? sabagay, isa si cory na masasabeng bahagi ng philippine history na wala akong makitang bahid na karumihan at sana dumami pa ang mga pulitikong ganun.

naisip ko rin na dito sa pinas, ang serbisyong pagpapagamot ay isang magandang negosyo. kung ako ay may pribadong hospital at bawat tao ay sisingilin ko ng P6,000 kada araw, tiba tiba ako nun. wala na rin akong magiging pakelam kung san nila kukunin ang pambayad sa hospital, dahil negosyo ko nga iyon eh. at magrerekomenda rin ako ng kung ano anong "tests" para mas marami silang bayaran. at sa sobrang sikat ko bilang negosyante, papangalawa na ako sa paglo-Lotto, para sa pinakamabilis na revenue generating industry, instant sikat ako --- pero syempre ang lahat ng ito ay kathang isip lang, dahil wala akong pribadong hospital, at dahil hinde ako kaseng ganid ng ibang mga pilipino.

pero ang bottomline sa usapang ito, thanks to the Supreme Being, dahil sa kanya ligtas ang utol ko. :D

X'S: nakakatuwang paglaruan ang Pixton bukod sa cool na tool to para sa mga taong frustrated gumawa ng comics tulad ko, maraming klaseng customization ang pwedeng gawin dito. meron ding pre-made characters or items for quick comic creation. ngayon pa lang ang dami kong naiisip na kakulitan ang pwede kong gawin out of this :D

im feeling unwell today, maybe because a lot of things happened and i dont have control over it. thats what i hate about hearing something from somebody, somehow i get affected. well if theres any consolation, at least weekend is approaching, i can have the rest i wanted.

im bothered knowing that one of my officesmates get fired, he happens to be my padmate, a father of two kids and got terminated. khit papano oks na rin na mejo late ko ng nalaman, my take on the situation is that there have been warning given to the employee and they even signed like a performance improvement plan, saying that one more late and he will be fired. at first it sounded "ruthless" for me, khit na alam kong tama naman ang management for implementing such an action, because un ang napagkasunduan nila. and besides from an employee's point of view, if ure willing to keep the job, then ull do your best to improve and clear that record. pero syempre naiisip ko lang ung sudden change dun sa employee na ngayon wala ng trabaho. mahirap yata maghanap ng trabaho lalo na kung makikipag sabayan ka pa sa dami ng mga newly graduates. aside from that news, ung kabatch ko naman nakapagsigned na rin ng performance improvement plan, which i know he didnt deserve. if management will only based it on metrices, data then how can you measure the intangibles. my batchmate even joked about it, sabe nya if ever makatanggap ka ng PIP, wag na wag mo tong pipirmahan, hehehe.

i have plans of leaving the company, just cant decide when is going to be the best timing, however i told myself that if i do that, ill make sure that this will be my last call center job, that mybe im open for a change of career, at kung aalis man ako ayoko ng bad record, so i kinda tell myself that is should do whatever is expected of me. its good that my direct supervisor is a just leader, alam kong sya man ayaw nya na naging decision na yun, but she has to give it as ordered from higher ups. i am aware that management read data differently, and frontliners or support sees the opposite of it. but i always believe in the term "borderline" where to sides can meet. i guess this has been a challenge for team leaders ehhee.

another factor that could be very tiresome is the sudden change of weather, ang body clock ko pabago bago na rin. ang pangangampanya ng pulitiko paulet ulet, and of course ang walang katapusang vigil for the recovery of former president cory aquino. all of these inputs are tiresome for me. siguro kelangan ko lang magpahinga from all the shits in the world, ill find time for that. :D

just received this flashy i68 phone, i must say that this is even more spectacular with 3rd generation iPhones. besides i wouldnt be paying 35 thousand for a phone, so this one at a very reasonable price offers a whole lot more features than my old Samsung phone. the fact that this is dual sim, meaning i dont have to switch from one sim to another, its very cool and would really hit the market. its stylish and you can go to the next page just by dragging the screen, isnt that amazing?

with that been said, im comfortable with this new phone, i can even charge it in three different ways, good that it comes with a spare battery, heheh! im giving myself a day to fully test its functionalities and add-ons with this new handy phone. they say that u get what u pay for, but with this one, i get more than what i expected. marami talagang phones sa market, and kelangan lang nateng mamili ng something that would fit our needs.

i am missing somebody today. earlier, riding on an fx going to work, this guy at the front seat, sporting the same haircut as urs. or maybe u look different now, it has been years, the last time i saw u. his hairstyle makes me smile a little cuz i remember the way u say, Hawakan nyo na ang katawan ko, wag lang guluhin ang buhok ko...it was funny though when u used to joke about it. the guy got the same shoulder as urs, a bit wide, definitely not bony. i dont know why in moments like this, ur face gets first on my mind.

i miss my bestfriend, the best guy i could ever have. a man with the biggest brain with good heart, who is so willing to make me laugh, someone who had proven me that not all men are players, that they can also commit and love someone to the fullest. that guys can admit their wrong doings and would never turn around to those mistakes again. u might not know the impact your friendship has brought to my realization.

just because im crazy, i wished that guy is you, just right next to where i am at. i even looked at his face before i go, wishing to see urs and not a stranger. but of course, i can only hope. things are different now, space and time put that distance between us.

its hideous to find out mga ibat ibang klase ng panggagantso, pilipino sa kapwa pinoy. normally, i wouldnt take time with spam text messages, ito ung mga texts kung saan, galing sa personal celnumber would say na nanalo ka sa isang raffle and u need to contact mr. whoever para maprocess ung panalo mo, and the likes. yesterday is a different story, dahil for the first time, pinatulan ko, just a bitchy thought that somebody has to say things in their faces...i also believe that they keep on doing such things dahil meron pa silang nakukumbinseng magpaloko sa knila.

i received a text message, pangalawa na to, coming from Mr.Valencia, chairman of PCSO, instructing me na tumaya sa specific 3 digit number worth PHP300 at tawagan siya immediately matapos tayaan ang numbers. i decided to check out if the other person will actually answer at the other line...

Guy: Hello magandang umaga po, sino po sila?
Me: Who are u, baket mo ko tinitext tungkol sa PCSO?

Mejo matanda na ung boses, ranging from 45-55 years of age siguro....confident pa ang kumag sumagot ng telepono, siguro to sa call center to sumasideline.

Guy: Ako unang nagtanong tapos nagtatanong ka rin saken...

At dahil maldito si manong, eto ang naging pahayag ko:

Me: Hinde kita tatawagan, kung hinde mo ko tinext tungkol sa PCSO, nanggugulo ka?
Guy: Gusto ko lang tumulong kaya nag text ako.
Me: Hiningan ba kita ng tulong? Hinde nga kita kilala eh, bat dika sa charitable tumulong kung talagang gusto mo.....
Guy: Ikaw na nga inutulungan eh pambihira naman...
Me: It doesnt make any sense...paano ka makakatulong sa isang raffle game kung random ung lalabas...siguro nanloloko ka lang, dapat pag ganyan eh ipa-BITAG.
Guy: Wag mo kong tatakutin..Gusto mo magkita tayo ngayon?
Me: Ahh so natatakot ka pala, dapat kase hinde ka nagtetext ng mga kalokohan kung kani-kanino.
Guy: Eh kung gusto kong makipag text mate, masama ba?
Me: Ayun lumabas din, kanina gusto mong tumulong ngayon textmate, GAGO!
(sensya na po sa term na GAGO, pero ang salitang to ay talagang may pinag uukulang mga nilalang, at para talaga ke manong un.)

then i hang up the phone and switch it off for 2 hours. i imagine his rage when he cannot do anything para makaganti ng tawag saken. i know i shouldnt be wasting my time with useless people, but somebody has to match them, somebody has to say that we are aware of what they are doing, it happens to be that someone is me. its unfortunate na sa panahon ngayon, khit mga ganyang cheap shot na panloloko eh meron pa rin nabibiktima.

well, isipin nyo na lang.......at least for that moment, naiganti ko kayo hehehe :P
