namin feel eh, pano ung tubig-baha ung mga batang-kalsada lang ung nag-eenjoy. haha.
So ayun. Kampante pa ‘ko nun.
Kaya, binilhan ko na lang si VfB ng icecream, habang kumakain si Carla, kasi nga nade-depress
na xa.
“dahil sad ka, bibigyan kita ng ice cream…” with matching boses-bata.
Wahaha, tapos nainggit si Carla, binilhan ko na rin :P
Siya nga pala, hindi na rin kame pinabalik sa taas- dun sa PC Room. Alam mo kumbaket?
Pinasok na rin daw kasi ng baha.
Pinasok. Ng. Tubig. Ulan. Ang. Room.
Ssssaya!
Hindi manlang namin na-save yung mga pinaghirapan namen!! Wuhuhuhu.. yung
webpage ko.. minsan na nga lang makagawa ng obra maestra, mawawasak pa??! kaawa-awa.
Yung pang AM and PM snack namen na ensaymada, binigay na rin nung time na yung andun
kami sa CAFETERIA. Alam mo kumbaket? CANCELLED na kasi yung seminar.

Ansssssaya! Saying talaga yung mga designs namin dun oh!
So ayun na, tinipon na lang ang section namen sa isang sulok ng café, at yung iba, nag-iiyakan na
nga- sila Joshell, Claire, Carla, etc…
Yung iba, umiiyak kasi, mag-isa lang daw yung mama/papa nila sa bahay… yung gamit wala na daw… at meron ding nag-aalala dahil sa mga aso, pusa, kalapati, bibe, manok, atbp…
Hindi na rin kame pinauwi alam mo kumbaket ulit?? Kasi raw, lubog na ang buong Balubad.
Aah, yun lang pala eeh, kala ko kung ano na… ano na nga raw ulit?? Lubog na ang buong BALUBAD.
Ano?! LUBOG NA ANG BALUBAD?!?! *faints*
>>pagtatalo ng left and right hemisphere ng utak ni geneva rose villarta.
III
Hindi na kame pinayagang umuwi. Baha na nga raw kasi sa buong Balubad. At ewan ko ba kumbaket parang ayaw maniwala ng sistema kong nabaha na talaga kami.
Confident akong hindi kami inabot. Sigurado ko yun.
Pina-stay muna kami sa court. Tapos, sa chapel naman.
Wala, parang wala lang. nagke-kwentuhan pa rin kame ng kung anu-ano.
Grupo-grupo.
Grupo ng umiiyak.
Grupo ng nagke-kwentuhan.
Grupo ng gumagawa ng bracelet na nylon….(hehehe, actually ako lang un:P)
Grupo ng nagtatawanan.
Grupo ng kumakain.
At maya-maya pa,
Grupo ng nagdadasal.
Ahh, dun ako natuwa! Yung mga hindi naman talaga nagdadasal, eh, kamukat-mukat mo’t
andun sa loob.
Oo, na-amaze talaga ‘ko kay Rene nun. Akalain mong ang jester namin, eh may soft spot din
pala??
Sumama ako dun sa loob. Kila Rene. Kasi, habang kumakain kame, nakatanggap si Carla ng text
from my sister-dear. Alam mo kung anong sabi??:
“Day, dyan na lang muna kayo.” Marami pang nakalagay dun pero, ang talagang tumatak lang
sa isip ko eh yung pahayag niyang,
“…at kahit na anong mangyare, WAG NA WAG KAYONG UUWE!”
Pramis, sobrang nanghina ako nun habang naglalakad dala yung soup ko.
Naaalala ko pa yun, habang naglalakad kame papuntang chapel, talagang naiyak na ‘ko nun.
“…hindi ko na alam kung makaka-ngiti pa ‘ko pagtapos nito.”
After kain, iyak. Kain ulit. Mukmok. Iyak. Ay ewan!
Cycle ko yan! Hahaha, hindi halata noh?!
Grabe.. ibig sabihen, sobrang taas na talaga nung baha. Kasi naabot na yung bahay namen eh.
At bakit naman sasabihin ng ate ko na “kahit anong mangyare, jan lang kayo!” kung safe pa dun
diba?
Ibig sabihen, wala na sila sa bahay!
Kaya pala nung tumatawag ako sa phone namin, busy tone lang. yun pala…
Tapos naalala ko bigla yung mga alaga namin. Si BokBok.. si Poknat…si Cheurvah…si Sniffy. At
si.. si.. UMBEN!!
Pagtapos naming magdasal, mga, maya-mayang konti, nung andun na ‘ko sa last na bench(ba
yun?),
Parang nangarag bigla si Liezl. Nakatanggap siya ng text… yung van dawn na dina-drive nung
papa niya, nakita nang lumulutang! Pero yung papa niya, wala sa loob!
Tapos nagdatingan sila Sir John para i-comfort siya. Grabe. Hindi pa daw mahanap yung papa
niya eh.. tsk tsk tsk..
Hindi ko na namalayan kung anong oras na kame pinalipat dun sa Auditorium-Like eeh. Basta,
malapit nang magdilim.
Tuwing may magte-text sa mga klasmeyt namin, iyak. Text. Iyak. Text. Shock. Text. Wala na,
lowbat na:P hehhehe
Buti nga si Sir John, nagpapatawa na lang para hindi malungkot…YUNG IBA.
Ewan ko ba?! Parang nag-nervous breakdown ako nun… waley, ayaw kong makihalo sa mga
nagsasaya. Mga nagpi-pinoy henyo gamit ang flashlight..hahaha
Tapos, eto pa huh,
Ka-text din namin si Dadoods nun. At ang sabi niya, nasa NHS daw sila. TRAPPED. Nasa
BUBONG na sila ng SCHOOL. At naka-kapit na lang sa antenna.
…teka..
Teka lang, huh!
Bakit parang nung paglingon ko sa mga klasmeyt ko eh, parang nagnyari na yun??!
DEMMET! Déjà vu!!
At saka ko lang na-realize yung isa ko pang mala-nightmare na panaginip mga ilang days before Ondoy..
Napanaginipan ko yun eeh!
The whole background, eh puro katubigan na, tapos, umuulan pa nyan..
may Stage na kinatatayuan yung naka-Pink na babae.
Lady in pink siya.
Yun na yung perception ko jan. alam kong nasa Milflores yan eh(street din malapit samen).
At kumbaket pink yung suot nung babaeng hindi ko ma-klaro yung mukha, eh dahil siya yung pag lumalabas kahit san eh nakapink na damet?
Si MCF ung feeling ko. And it’s a premonition na ang buong Marikina(except Fortune) eh mababaha! Kung alam ko lang.. tsk tsk tsk..

Amazing Race; PLMar Edition(September 15, 2010)
GRRRRABEE! As in grabe pa sa grrrrrabe! Nung September 15, Wednesday yun~ pinaka-hectic na araw ng buong BSN1-3. 
Nung araw din nay un yung continuation ng report namen for GenPsych, at bale nung TFN pa lang eh, sinasabi na saken ni Nerline na wala daw syang dalang LaughTough, pano sa maling building pumunta yung maghahatid:P. So ako, mejo hindi pa ngarag nun kase, baka nga kahit pano eh, madeliver pa rin sa totoong building namen.
Tapos eh wala talaga. Nung Psych na, 10:30am, bale sabi namig kay Ma’am Norma, “ahm, pwede po bang after break na lang po kami mag-report? Kasi po mejo na-delay yung magdadala ng laptop eeh..”
Tapos buti na lang at nagtse-tsek pa si Ma’am ng booklets namen. Pero sa totoo lang huh, ngarag na ngarag na kame nila Nerline at Hannah nun, kase kelangan naming makuha ung Laptop, eh nasa Marikina Convention na yung maghahatid(kase may seminar din sila dun, bale idadaan lang sana sa skool namen ung LT). Tapos eh di yun, tinext na ni Nerline un.
Tapos, naisip namen na baka pwedeng hiramin ung LT ni Ma’am Kat! Kase meron nga siya.. So ayun, dali-dali kaming umakyat sa 3rd floor. Yesss! Andun pa sya! Unfortunately, hindi niya napahiram samen kasi may klase xa na section 2, as in nung time na na yun(at nasita pa kame ng secretary ng dean, kasi daw, bake tang haggard haggard na namen, nakaldlad na daw ung bangs..hehehe).
Kaya ayun. Bumalik na lang kami sa room.. “5-4-3-2-1, GO!” nagpaalam kami ni Hannah kay ma’am na kung pwede bang makikipag-meet na lang sila ni Nerline dun sa nagdala nung LT.. (pero ang totoo eh hindi talaga siguro alam ni ma’am na sa Bayan sila makikipag-meet:P)
AMAZING RAAAAAAACE!!
TAKBBOOOOO!! Sigi hala! Lumarga na sila. Maya-maya eh, nagulat na lang ako at biglang sinabi n imam na, “you may take your break, and after 20 minutes, we’ll continue the reporting..”
“YOU MAY TAKE YOUR BREAK…”
“AFTER 20 MINUTES,….YOUR REPORTING..”
“AFTER 20 MINUTES…”
“20 MINUTES…”
“REPORTING…”
ANOHUWATBAKET?! Ranging 20 MINUTES?!?! May Golay! Takte na-shock talaga ko dun ah! Gravacious naman oh! Hala, ang akala namen kase, 12nn pa magbe-break, kaya ang sabi namen sa kanya, “after the break kame magrereport”!!
aba saba mangga! Eh di hinayaan ko na lang yung WonderPets na maglunch na.. at ako, ngarag na!
Hala tinext ko na sila Nerline na bilisan kasi nga, takteng yan, 20 mins na lang pala ang break!
Well ang balak ko kase kaya sinabi naming “after break kame magrereport” eh, dahil ‘pag nag-12 na, pwede na rin naming mahiram yung LT ni ma’am Kat diba? Kase lunch break na nga. Eh ang kaso, mga 11am pa lang nun! Kaawa-awa!
Eh di bumaba na lang ako nun. Hiniram ko na lang yung projector kay “SIR EDGAR” habang ngina-ngarag sila Nerline at Hannah sa text.
Pagpunta ko sa room 104, sabi ko, “good morning po, anjan po ba si SIR EDGAR??” tapos, nagtaka yung panagtanungan ko, tas sabi niya, “wala eeh..”
Hopeless? Akala ko.
Pinuntahan ko yung Wonderpets sa may canteen ng building namen, tinanong ko kung nakita ba nila si Sir Bong(yung nagche-check ng rooms) para tanungin kung asan ba si sir Allan.
Baka daw asa office of the VP, or nasa 104 lang yun. Tapos, maya-maya pa eh, nagpasama na ‘ko kila Faye at Shiela sa 104…
“ahm, ggu-goo-good morning po, anjan nap o si sir edgar?” sa mahinang boses..
“ha?”
“si sir allan po..” nilakasan ko na.
Tapos may nagsalitang lalake, “sino yung hinahanap mo kanina?”
“ahm, si sir Edgar po… ay si sir Allan..” tapos bigla silang nagtawanan,.
“sir Allan! Hindi Sir Edgar! Peot yown! Si EDGAR ALLAN POE! Nakkuu tong batang to…”
Tapos mejo na-relieve na ren, kase kahit na sinalo ko ang tambak-tambak na kahihiyan, eh, nahiram ko na rin sa wakas yung 60,000 pesos na projector. Ingat na ingat xempre, duh! 60,000!
Tapos, dahil wala pa nga sila nerline, pinauna ko na sila shiela sa taas.
Dun muna ‘ko nagstay sa canteen. Tinetext ko pa rin sila na 10 minutes na lang, bell na..
Ayun. Tas maya-maya, pumasok yung iba pang wonderpets na section 2 dun. Ayun, chikka chikka..
Pagdating nila nerline, AMAZING RACE ULLEEEET paakyat ng room! Nagmamadali xempre dahil kaka-bell lang nun eh.
Tapos, nung inoperate na, ambagal ng laughtough, OWWVHHHEERR!! Sampung taon, kaya lalo kameng kinabahan!
Antagal ioperate. Tapos para magamit xa with projector, kelangan ulit irestart. SAYA!
Tapos, nung ininsert ko ung flashdrive ko, “not recognized…” ANG SAYA!
Andun yung report namen, tapos, “not recognized.” Ang saya saya talaga, grrrraabe!
Hopeless. Akala namen.
Naalala ko yung peyborit sabihin ni Ma’am Kat, “DON’T LOSE HOPE!”
Kaya sabi ko sa kanila, “eh kung hiramin na lang naten yung laughtough ni ma’am Kat total, lunch pa naman oh?!?!?!”
Eh di yun, humarurot na kames sa taas.
Pinaliwanag namen kay ma’am na sandal lang naming gagamitin. Na hindi lang kase marecognize yung flashdrive ko sa LT ni Nerline..
SA WAKAS! Pinahiram niya na kame! Yehey!! This is iiiiitttt!!
Pero may rule si ma’am, “wag niong ire-restart dahil may password yan. Hindi nio na mabubuksan yan..”
Okay! Gora na kames a baba.
Pagdating namen dun, naka-ayos na yung lahat. Okay na yung projector na LT ni nerline.
Eh kaso nga, ayaw dun gumana ng flashdrive ko, kea sabi ko, tanggalin nila ulit para sa LT na lang ni Mam Kat ipe-present..
Kinabit na yung connector. Ansaya! Ayaw gumana! Walang lumalabas na projector! Wooh!
Tapos, sabi nila Charmaine at Marton, kelangan nga daw kasing irestart ung lt para gumana ung projector.. OO ANSAYA, MAGANDA YAN! Irestart huh, eh bawal ngang irestart yun dahil may password nga, oo ang saya saya talaga!
Naglelecture na si ma’am norma nun. Tapos eto pa huh, yung nile-lecture niya, yung topic
na nila Hannah! Kawawa!!!
Hopeless? OO! HOPELESS NA KUNG HOPELESS! Nakakainis!!
Nirestart ko ung laughtough ni mam Kat, assuming na ginu-gudtaym nya lang kame.. hehehe, eh ang kaso, hinde.. so another problem na naman kase, hindi na namen mabuksan.. wooh! Ang saya saya! Ayaw na ring gumana nung projector sa laptop ni Nerline.. party!!
Hopeless na hopeless. Walang nangyari dun sa pag-a-amazing race namen sa sk0ol.
Niligpit na lang namen ung lahat.
Lumabas ako kase anjan na si mam kat para sa laptop.
Kinwento namen ni nerline ung nangyare. Na hindi na lang kame magrereport, na narestart ko ung Lt niya. Hinatid na naming sila sa taas- nung naglalakad na kames a hagdan, biglang sabi niya,
“bakit hindi nio ginamit yung isang profile??”
“huh???”
“may isa pang profile yan, walang password.”
Hala talagang naewan kame nun! Grabe, parang gusto ko nang magpatihulog sa hagdan nung malaman-laman ko yun! Takteng yan…
Eh wala na ren. Parang ayaw talaga ni Tadhana na pag-report-in kame noh? Biruin mo, naambunan pa kame habang nag-aamazing race kanina? Tapos wala talaga?!?
Well, papel, lapel, ganun talaga.
Tapos, nautusan pa kame nila mam kat at ng sec. ng dean na bumili na acetone at kendi.
Pagbalik namen, nakita daw ni mam kat yung report namen. Ang haba daw.. “82 slides.. ang haba!”
Pagbalik namen sa room, busyng busy sila.. tinanong ko kumbaket at napag-alaman kong may quiz.
Oo may QUIZ! Q-U-I-Z. ang sssssaya!
So, we got tired for nothing. Wala kaming naintindihan sa lesson. At may quiz. Ang saya-

Hula ng Klase: Sya Pala 'Yun?!
Unti- unti nang umaangat ang venecian blinds sa kwarto ko. Senyales iyon na kainlangan ko nang bumangon dahil ito ang araw na magle-leave ako for one month para dalawin ang mama ko sa Pilipinas. Aba! Ilang taon na ‘kong hindi nakakauwi doon ha, simula pa lang noong pagka-graduate ko nung college!
Bumaba na ‘ko sa living room at nakitang nagkakagulo at natataranta na naman ang mga maids ko dahil alam nilang gising na ako, “anong meron? May fiesta?” sanay na silang naririnig akong magsalita ng Tagalog. Kabisado na rin nila kung ano ang ibig sabihin nun dahil sa araw-araw ba naman na ginawa ng diyos eh nagmistulang routine ang gayong pangyayari.
Dahil kahit Marso na eh parang Winter season pa rin ditto, pinabuksan k okay Edimae ang heater. Oo, si EDIMAE JARQUIO nga. Siya ang mayor doma ko ditto sa mansion ko at sumesweldo siya ng $10,000 kada buwan at hindi naman na siya nagrereklamo tungkol doon.
“edimae naman kase?! Sabi ko sayo dalhin mo na rin ditto yung bespren mo eh! Yung klasmeyt ko dati nung grade 5? Ugh! I forgot her name, yung dating beauty queen?!”
“si Maan!” sagot niya.
“ay oo, si Maan! Si MARJORIE ANN RAMORES! Kabisado ko pa noh?! Galing!” sabay palakpak.
“’tong taong to, Geneva naman, ilang taon ka na, R.N. ka na ganyan pa rin ugali mo?”
“syempre! Hindi pa ‘ko grown-up! Ha-ha-ha”
Umalis na lang si Edimae dahil nagsisismula nang maging high ang amo niya.
“nga pala Edimae, magle-leave ako for one month ah.pupuntahan ko yung mama ko sa ‘pinas, namimiss ko na siya eh. Titignan ko rin yung casino royale naming kung matino pa ba.”
“eh ma’am, pano nga pala yung mga paparzzing naghihintay dyan sa labas?hindi nga ‘ko makatulog kagabi eh! Pano, dun sa labas ng kwarto ko naglagay ng hagdan para mapicturan ka dun sa taas. Flash ng flash yung ilaw eh!” iritadong sabi ni Edimae.
“ihanda mo yung underground elevator natin..
“hala!!! Anong oras na! baka naghihintay na ang Dr. House ng buhay ko!”
Sa paningin ni Edimae, may mga harts harts na na lumilipad sa paligid ko.
Sinet nya na yung elevator. Walang kaalam-alam yung mga paparazzing nasa labas na wala na akoa sa loob ng bahay naming. Gotcha!
Habang umaandar ang elevator, nakasabay ko pa si Stefani Joanne=> hindi niyo siya kilala noh?! Siya yung kumanta ng Just Dance, Poker Face at Bad Romance. Oo, si Lady Gaga nga. Tuwing papasok ako sa ospital eh lagi ko siyang nakakasabay, at dahil dun, naging magka-close kami. Libre pa ang tugtog sa loob ng elevator! Yun nga lang, kung tatalikod ka sa pintuan at pumasok siya bigla, humarap ka! Bigla kang magugulat sa iba’t ibang costume niya. Weird pa rin siya. Noong araw na iyo ay papunta siya ng Kodak Theatre at ako naman sa Cedars Sinai.
2
“Good morning ma’am!” sabi ng mga nurse doon. Sinuot ko agad ang uniform ko at mask ko. Paparating na ang mga paparazzi!!
Hinanap ko ang beloved Dr. House ko sa pasilyo. Yes! Wala siya dun! Siguradong nasa office siya, salamat at masosolo ko na rin siya!
Panasa ko na yung letter ko ng pagle-leave at habang nakatingin ako sa kanya eh, hindi maiwasang magkaroon ng glitters-glitters effect sa maganda niyang mukha..”hay Dr. House ng buhay ko! Simula noong hayskul, ikaw lang talaga! Hay….”
Dahil sa kakapantasya ko eh, hindi ko namalayang naapprove niya na pala yung letter ko. Bigla namang pumasok yung front desk secretary niyang si VANESSA BURTON, na sa tingin ko’y nagpapantasya rin sa kanya, kaya umalis na ‘ko pagtapos kong mag-thank you.
Grabe!hindi ko akalaing magagawa ‘to sakin ni Vanessa! Ansaket! Ansakit-saket!
Matagal-tagal na ‘kong nandito sa US at kahit papano eh natutuwa rin naman ako sa mga natutunghayan ko dito. Parang may reunion! Akalain mo ba naman kasing nakita ko dati sila AILEEN TOLOSA, GILEEN DEMAPENDAN AT JESSA MORES nung pumunta ako sa Las Vegas noon?- “We are the Amazons!” rinig kong sabi nila.
Nang pabalik na ko sa mansion ko, nagulat ako kasi may mga C.I.A. na sa tapat ng bahay ko! Natakot talaga ‘ko, hanggang sa nilapitan ko na kung ano ba talaga ang nangyayare.
“I’m sorry to break the news but blah blah blah…”
Hindi ko na naintindihan kung ano yung sinabi nung agent na nasa harapan ko. Pilit kong tinatanaw kung sino yung namatay sa tapat ng bahay ko.
“nako! Mukang mapo-pospone pa ‘tong biyahe ko sa ‘pinas ah!?”
“ma’am, Pilipino ka po?” sabat ng agent.
“oo,” napatingin bigla ako sa uniporme ng babaeng agent na yun. “Pepito”
Hala! Tinolang sinigang na pating!
“Tita Impy?!” nagulat akong malaman na siya pala si JERIZZA PEPITO. Siguro kaya hindi niya ko kilala eh dahil bising-bisi siya sa pag-iimbistiga ng mga kaso?! Hay, naabot niya na ang pangarap niya.
“namatay yung pusa ng kapitbahay mo dyan sa bakuran mo at gustong magdemanda ng may-ari.”
“Jerizza, I’ll call my lawyer ha? Magle-leave kasi ako eh. Ayokong mapostpone ang biyahe ko. Yang NOEL JALMASCO na yan talaga! Laging sinisira ang mga plano ko! Tignan mo oh! Akala ko tao na yung namatay, nag-hire pa ng mga taga-iyak para dyan sa pusa niya?! GRRRRR!!
Nang makapasok na ‘ko sa mansion ko, pinatawagan ko agad kay Edimae ang lawyer ko.
“ATTY. KARLA CID! Si Geneva may gustong ipaayos sayo..”
“okay I’m on my way now. Nabalitaan kong namatay ang kontrobersyal na tumatambling na pusa ni Mr. Jalmasco!”
Nang dumating na si Atty. Cid sa bahay, pinaliwanag ko na agad sa kanya kung ano ang gusto kong gawin niya sa nag-iinarte kong kapitbahay.
“Cid, kaya mo yan! Kaya nga ikaw ang hinire ko kasi alam kong loyal ka sa mga ideas mo eh! Mananalo tayo dito for sure!
“edimae, pag tumawag si Quentin Tarantino at yung manager ko, sabihin mo, i-skype na lang ako ha? Mamayang 11 pm ang byahe ko.”
Kinahapunan, nag-impake na ako at naghandang pumunta sa airport.

Papasakay na sana ako sa eroplano nang biglang may tumawag sa akin. Isang tinig na tila ba tunog ng kampana sa simbahan sa tenga ko. Si Dr. House pala yon!
“yes Dr. House? Sasabihin mo na bang huwag na lang akong umalis at gusto mong dyan na lang ako sa tabi mo, huh?”- iyan ang mga katagang namumuo sa isip ko habang papalapit na siya sa akin. Tuluyan na ngang nag-slow motion ang lahat at bigla kong narinig ang kantang, “’coz I’m leaving on a jetplane, don’t know…..”
“uhm, diba sa ‘Pinas ka? pwede bang pasuyong ibigay mo ‘to sa mama ko? Thanks!”
At nawala na siya. Walang hugs. Walang kisses. Pero ayos na rin yun! At least nasilayan ko siya!!
Pag-akyat ko sa hagdan tungo sa eroplano eh nagmistulang Ms. Universe candidates ang mga flight attendant doon. Salamat na lang dahil ang mga babaeng iyon ay nakasuot din ng nametag, si LIEZL NIEVA! Ang galing! Dahil siguro sa taglay niyang yaman sa tangkad at yaman sa bulsa kaya siya nakapasok dito sa American Airlines.
Habang nagte-take off na ang eroplano ay nilapitan ako ni Liezl at may kasama pa siyang isang babae! Hindi ko maalala kung anong pangalan niya pero nung pakantahin ni Liezl, “I do…”
“Nica?! NICAFLOR SALVO?!” siagw ko. Ang saya-saya talaga ‘apag nakakakita ako ng dating klasmeyt! Para silang mga talking time machine…
Nagkwentuhan kaming tatlo at nalaman kong iyon din pala ang eroplanong sinakyan ni JEMMEL VALE nung pumunta siya sa Pilipinas. Sa kalagitnaan ng pag-uusap namin, biglang umalingawngaw ang malamig na tinig ng piloto. Unti-unti na sana ‘kong naiinlove sa boses nun kaso biglang sinabing, “this is PILOT ADRIAN ESMILLA at your service.”
Siguro kung hindi lang ako pinigilan nila Liezl na tumalon sa bintana eh, hindi na talaga ko makaklarating sa ‘Pinas?!
To be continued... :P
Bumaba na ‘ko sa living room at nakitang nagkakagulo at natataranta na naman ang mga maids ko dahil alam nilang gising na ako, “anong meron? May fiesta?” sanay na silang naririnig akong magsalita ng Tagalog. Kabisado na rin nila kung ano ang ibig sabihin nun dahil sa araw-araw ba naman na ginawa ng diyos eh nagmistulang routine ang gayong pangyayari.
Dahil kahit Marso na eh parang Winter season pa rin ditto, pinabuksan k okay Edimae ang heater. Oo, si EDIMAE JARQUIO nga. Siya ang mayor doma ko ditto sa mansion ko at sumesweldo siya ng $10,000 kada buwan at hindi naman na siya nagrereklamo tungkol doon.
“edimae naman kase?! Sabi ko sayo dalhin mo na rin ditto yung bespren mo eh! Yung klasmeyt ko dati nung grade 5? Ugh! I forgot her name, yung dating beauty queen?!”
“si Maan!” sagot niya.
“ay oo, si Maan! Si MARJORIE ANN RAMORES! Kabisado ko pa noh?! Galing!” sabay palakpak.
“’tong taong to, Geneva naman, ilang taon ka na, R.N. ka na ganyan pa rin ugali mo?”
“syempre! Hindi pa ‘ko grown-up! Ha-ha-ha”
Umalis na lang si Edimae dahil nagsisismula nang maging high ang amo niya.
“nga pala Edimae, magle-leave ako for one month ah.pupuntahan ko yung mama ko sa ‘pinas, namimiss ko na siya eh. Titignan ko rin yung casino royale naming kung matino pa ba.”
“eh ma’am, pano nga pala yung mga paparzzing naghihintay dyan sa labas?hindi nga ‘ko makatulog kagabi eh! Pano, dun sa labas ng kwarto ko naglagay ng hagdan para mapicturan ka dun sa taas. Flash ng flash yung ilaw eh!” iritadong sabi ni Edimae.
“ihanda mo yung underground elevator natin..
“hala!!! Anong oras na! baka naghihintay na ang Dr. House ng buhay ko!”
Sa paningin ni Edimae, may mga harts harts na na lumilipad sa paligid ko.
Sinet nya na yung elevator. Walang kaalam-alam yung mga paparazzing nasa labas na wala na akoa sa loob ng bahay naming. Gotcha!
Habang umaandar ang elevator, nakasabay ko pa si Stefani Joanne=> hindi niyo siya kilala noh?! Siya yung kumanta ng Just Dance, Poker Face at Bad Romance. Oo, si Lady Gaga nga. Tuwing papasok ako sa ospital eh lagi ko siyang nakakasabay, at dahil dun, naging magka-close kami. Libre pa ang tugtog sa loob ng elevator! Yun nga lang, kung tatalikod ka sa pintuan at pumasok siya bigla, humarap ka! Bigla kang magugulat sa iba’t ibang costume niya. Weird pa rin siya. Noong araw na iyo ay papunta siya ng Kodak Theatre at ako naman sa Cedars Sinai.

“Good morning ma’am!” sabi ng mga nurse doon. Sinuot ko agad ang uniform ko at mask ko. Paparating na ang mga paparazzi!!
Hinanap ko ang beloved Dr. House ko sa pasilyo. Yes! Wala siya dun! Siguradong nasa office siya, salamat at masosolo ko na rin siya!
Panasa ko na yung letter ko ng pagle-leave at habang nakatingin ako sa kanya eh, hindi maiwasang magkaroon ng glitters-glitters effect sa maganda niyang mukha..”hay Dr. House ng buhay ko! Simula noong hayskul, ikaw lang talaga! Hay….”
Dahil sa kakapantasya ko eh, hindi ko namalayang naapprove niya na pala yung letter ko. Bigla namang pumasok yung front desk secretary niyang si VANESSA BURTON, na sa tingin ko’y nagpapantasya rin sa kanya, kaya umalis na ‘ko pagtapos kong mag-thank you.
Grabe!hindi ko akalaing magagawa ‘to sakin ni Vanessa! Ansaket! Ansakit-saket!
Matagal-tagal na ‘kong nandito sa US at kahit papano eh natutuwa rin naman ako sa mga natutunghayan ko dito. Parang may reunion! Akalain mo ba naman kasing nakita ko dati sila AILEEN TOLOSA, GILEEN DEMAPENDAN AT JESSA MORES nung pumunta ako sa Las Vegas noon?- “We are the Amazons!” rinig kong sabi nila.
Nang pabalik na ko sa mansion ko, nagulat ako kasi may mga C.I.A. na sa tapat ng bahay ko! Natakot talaga ‘ko, hanggang sa nilapitan ko na kung ano ba talaga ang nangyayare.
“I’m sorry to break the news but blah blah blah…”
Hindi ko na naintindihan kung ano yung sinabi nung agent na nasa harapan ko. Pilit kong tinatanaw kung sino yung namatay sa tapat ng bahay ko.
“nako! Mukang mapo-pospone pa ‘tong biyahe ko sa ‘pinas ah!?”
“ma’am, Pilipino ka po?” sabat ng agent.
“oo,” napatingin bigla ako sa uniporme ng babaeng agent na yun. “Pepito”
Hala! Tinolang sinigang na pating!
“Tita Impy?!” nagulat akong malaman na siya pala si JERIZZA PEPITO. Siguro kaya hindi niya ko kilala eh dahil bising-bisi siya sa pag-iimbistiga ng mga kaso?! Hay, naabot niya na ang pangarap niya.
“namatay yung pusa ng kapitbahay mo dyan sa bakuran mo at gustong magdemanda ng may-ari.”
“Jerizza, I’ll call my lawyer ha? Magle-leave kasi ako eh. Ayokong mapostpone ang biyahe ko. Yang NOEL JALMASCO na yan talaga! Laging sinisira ang mga plano ko! Tignan mo oh! Akala ko tao na yung namatay, nag-hire pa ng mga taga-iyak para dyan sa pusa niya?! GRRRRR!!
Nang makapasok na ‘ko sa mansion ko, pinatawagan ko agad kay Edimae ang lawyer ko.
“ATTY. KARLA CID! Si Geneva may gustong ipaayos sayo..”
“okay I’m on my way now. Nabalitaan kong namatay ang kontrobersyal na tumatambling na pusa ni Mr. Jalmasco!”

Twenty Years
after graduating from this school
many years from now
will you still be sending me a birthday greeting, holloween, or anything?
if i happen to pass by at your house
would you care to call me for who I was?
will you still know me?
will you still want me,
twenty years from now?
you'll meet different kinds of people too
but if they don't like you,
come to me, i could stay with you!
i could be a talking time line,
recalling all the things we used to do back then
you can be a talking time line too!
on the next day, can i still stay with you?
invading a mall, laughing at anybody,
who could ask for more?
will you still know me?
will you still want me,
twenty years from now?
send me a card, call me sometime
who are you now, where you might be
it's been a long time since we chat
why did you stop talking to me like that?
do you still know me?
do you still want me,
AFTER TWENTY YEARS?
:P

Earth Hour Approaches: Filipinos Urged to Spread the Word :)
With days to go before the world switches off for Earth Hour 2009, WWF-Philippines calls on the social networking community to spread the Earth Hour message through e-groups, blogs, web videos and texts. “The commitments of support grow with each day. We urge everyone to spread the word and join millions throughout the world by switching-off lights from 8:30 to 9:30pm on Saturday night, 28 March. This is our chance to show the world what our Bayanihan spirit can do, for only when we act as one will Earth Hour be successful,” says Earth Hour National Director Yeb Saño.Earth Hour is a massive social movement aimed to mobilize action against climate change through the simple act of turning off lights.
Launched in Australia on 31 March 2007, Earth Hour moved over two million people and 2100 businesses in Sydney to turn off their lights for 60 minutes – hence the movement’s logo. This captured the hearts and minds of people all over the world, giving rise to Earth Hour 2008 – where 50 million people in 370 cities followed suit. New York’s Times Square, Rome’s Coliseum and even the remote Casey Station in Antarctica plunged into darkness.The Philippines was the first Southeast Asian nation to pledge support. Its flagship cities of Pasay, Manila, Parañaque and Makati observed a switch-off ceremony and enveloped the entire Roxas Boulevard seaside strip in symbolic darkness.
Popular landmarks such as the Cultural Center of the Philippines and Mall of Asia were blanketed in darkness. Lights-out activities were instigated by a million Filipinos in over 50 major towns and cities across the nation.“Earth Hour 2008 remains the country’s largest environmental action. Last year, total power savings amounted to 80MWh. 56MWh was saved in Luzon alone – equivalent to shutting down a coal-fired power plant for one hour. More important than the power we saved was the awareness and positive action generated. This year, Earth Hour 2009 hopes to inspire at least 10 million Filipinos to unite and act for the environment,” explains Saño.Earth Hour is an initiative of WWF, the Department of Energy, Green Army Network and SWITCH movement. Over a hundred corporations, schools, public and private organizations have now pledged support. The roster of supporters grows by the hour.Numerous institutional partners such as the Archdiocese of Manila Ministry, Boy and Girl Scouts, CBCP, Department of Education, Earth Day Network, Gawad Kalinga, Habitat for Humanity, League of Corporate Foundations, National Electrification Administration, National Historical Institute, Outdoor Advertiser’s Association of the Philippines, Philippine Jaycees, Renewable Energy Coalition, Rotary Club and World Youth Alliance have also pledged support.The Department of Energy has given its full backing for the movement. "This is a cause that should unite us as Filipinos and as citizens of the world," declares DOE Secretary Angelo Reyes. Adds WWF-Vice Chairman and CEO Lory Tan, “Will Earth Hour alone stop climate change? No. But it is a statement that we will not go down without a fight.”The global aim of Earth Hour is to secure the participation of one billion people in 1000 cities globally.
Already over 1500 cities in 80 countries including the United States, China, Russia and India have signed on.“It is hoped that this global gesture will send a clear message for world leaders to take strong and decisive action against climate change,” explains Saño. Top leaders will meet in Copenhagen this coming December to craft a post-Kyoto policy for tackling the world’s mounting problems on climate change. “The strength of our message ultimately depends on how many Filipinos will join in.”

Life is Boring Without Them....
Yes!! Life is boring without my friends! Let's be more specific... Life at school is boring without my friends!! hahaha. Only 28 students were left in our class due to the cotillion practice and guess what? We're still being imposed to attend our subjects! It's just like in the private school. Some of our teachers allowed us to just play around... (Maybe because they're just too lazy to teach only 28 students :])
Now here is my secret. Before our first class, w/c is science, we tend not to go in our room. We're just sneaking around the corridor---it's boring in our room I tell 'ya! We only go to our respective room when we think of it. We tend to do whatever we like as long as we're not caught by the security guards there.
When it's already recess time, Carla and I used to watch the cotillion practice on our school ground and when the bell rang, we didn't easily go upstairs though we saw our teacher coming. Cutting class again!! This is the first time I ever do this thing 'coz I never had the guts to break the rules of my beloved school. But in this kinds of situation? We’re talking about a life and death situation here; we are playing with our own happiness here so that’s why we do these kinds of things…

Luckily, I brought my minidigicam so, it isn't that kind of bad after all….being stuck with some kind of….of… BORINGNESS?! It just looked like a toy so whenever I tried to take a picture of them, they do not easily believe… here is the first person whom I told that we shall have a picture together… Look at her… THIS IS MY PICTURE NUMBER 1:
She didn't believe in me. So look what just happened... I was supposed to be included there but I was cut.
Before I took a picture of her, I tend to practice. I've taken some nonsense picture to make sure that my camera was safe and sound.. :)
<=What the---!?!
and, Narra at Acacia's room...
She made that look upon her face because she thought that I was joking when I told her that I have a digicam.... hehe...
And that's all! we've taken some pictures in our schools with my handy-mini-digicam and I've decided to put it in here... :))
^^I tend to make funny faces in these pictures... ^^ nice grounds!!!
