Oo, tama ang nabasa mo, SoleMate nga. SoleMate ang tawag sa mga taong hanggang ngayon naghahanap ng karamay sa buhay, sa makatuwid, sila yung mga taong hanggang ngayon ang tangging karamay ay ang sarili; sa makatuwid… mag-isa.
“If every person has a soul mate, then how come I still am alone?”
Malamang ito ang tanong nila; isang malamang tanong.
Ang totoo, tanong ko rin yan, isang malaking tanong na hindi ko mabigyan ng sagot. Hindi naman ako bobo kahit na, na sa tatlong tao ko bilang Atenista, ni hindi pa ako napabilang sa President’s o Dean’s list man lang; alam ko hindi ako bobo. Pero sa mga pagkakataong may mga tanong na gan’to, napapa-isip din ako, talaga nga kayang hindi ako bobo? Kung hindi, bakit hindi ko mapunan ng kahit kakarampot man lang na kasagutan ang tanong na ito. Hinid ko alam! Nakaka-asar!
Ang totoo kasi nyan, sa tingin ko kilala ko na saya, kilang kilala. Ang maganda pa, alam niya ang madarama ko, kaso lang… hindi pwede.
Gusto ko siya pero hindi pwede. Siguro nga mahal ko na sya, pero hindi pwede. Hindi talaga.
SoleMate, yun ako. Minsan nagtatanong ako, ‘god, are you fair?’ Bakit kasi kelangang madama ko pa ‘to kung mauuwi din lang naman saw ala. Para san pa ang mga panaginip ko kung hindi ko rin naman maaring gawing totoo?
Marahil hindi pa talaga sya…
Siguro may ibang nakalaan.
Marahil naiinip lang ako, marahil.
I don’t really wanna think that wala na rin akong karapatang mahalin; pero kung ganto rin lang naman, I don’t really know what to think. Bakit ba nariyan lang din naman siya pero kahit gumulong pa ang mundo ng makailang ulit, tila hindi ni minsan sa hinuha maaaring ako naman ang mahalin nya. Just today while we and two other friends are on a taxi to school I realized how improbable so much so impossible na matutunan nya rin akong mahalin. Katulad ng mga gulong ng taxing ‘yon; I am like the tire in front and he, the tire at the back; no matter how near, there would never be a time na magkakalapit kami, there would never be a time that he’ll love me the way I wish he’ll do.
SoleMate. Isang malungkot na scenario, isang malungkot na katotohanang kelangan kong tanggapin bukal man o labag sa nadarama.
Sa mga SoleMate, love is so universal and yet so universally misunderstood; kaya sori na lang. Siguro nga merong para sa bawat isa, or maybe not.

ballpen (s)
Matagal tagal na rin nang una akong sumulat; hindi ko na nga matandaan kung ano ang mga nabuo ng mumunti kong mga kamay o kung may nabuo man lang ako, ang alam ko lang nagsulat ako. Hindi ko na rin tanda kung lapis ba na pagkalaki-laki o crayola ang unang mga pansulat sa nagamit ko; basta ang alam ko may ipinang-sulat ako.
People come and go. Ilang beses na rin akong nawalan ng mahal sa buhay, ilang beses na rin akong naiwan, iniwan, minsan ako mismo nang iwan; pero bakit para din silang mga ballpen o lapis o crayola o kung ano pa man, hindi ko na sila ganap na naaalala pero alam ko sa puso ko, minsa’y nagsulat akong kasama sila.
Marami-rami’t mahaba-haba na din ang kwento ng aking buhay; hindi ko na halos matandaan kung paano ko ito naisulat pero tandang tanda ko pa rin ang mga taong nakasama kong nagsulat nito. Para sa akin mga ballpen sila; kahit na ang iba’y naubisan na ng tinta, ang iba’y nahiram na ng ila’t hindi na nakabalik, ang iba’y nawala ko na lang ng hindi namamalayan pero marami sa kanila narito pa rin; paminsan-minsa’y nakakasama pang magsulat. gtec, parker, pilot, uni, panda, faber castel, crayola, monggol; alex, ivan, janet, kokkie, mama, ate jean, joey … marami-rami na sila, mahirap ng tandaan sa pangalan ngunit lahat naman ng mga panahong sabay kaming nagsulat, naaalala ko pa, bawat guhit, bawat punto.
May kanya kanya tayong kwento, kanya kanyang mga kaibigan, kaIBIGan at kung ano ano pa. Hindi ba’t parang mga ballpen din sila; malaki, maliit, mumurahin, mahal, may tinta, putol o kahit ano pa man; sila pa rin ang mga nakasama nating isulat ang kwento ng ating buhay. Sana lang kahit wala na sila o madalas hindi na makasama, maalala nating kahit minsa’y may isang ballpen na kasama nating nagsulat ng kwento ng ating mga buhay.
Sa mga ballpen ng buhay ko, salamat. And I do really hope to write more stories with you.

Who’s laughing now? (Why are there DUMB people on Twitter?)
Who’s laughing now?
Why are there DUMB people on Twitter?
It’s been a while since I started using Twitter and so far I’ve been enjoying the site and the environment (meaning the users’ attitudes) UNTIL just almost two weeks ago some no-brainers made Tweets that I guess deserve to be reported as (place a word here that would be an adjective that equates the summation of dumb, abusive, insensitive, illogical, fucking non-sense and what have you). It was so insensitive, inconsiderate and utterly dumb, per se.
Ring any bell now?
Let me refresh you; the weekend before the previous weekend to this weekend was a tragic one for most Filipinos especially for most of the residents of Manila and nearby cities and towns. In less than a day’s time, a rain amounting to a total of a month precipitation poured in the metro (that’s more than the rain waters the Hurricane Katrina brought to the US!), causing flood that’s, at least, knee high and at max, two floors of a house high. Billions of properties and proprieties were lost. Hundreds of lives where lost.
Then there came this TWEET.
Happily news casting to the world that the Philippines is indeed flooded and happily hoping that rain don’t stop so that those ‘monkeys’ hopefully drown and die.
Very nice, ayt?
One of the dumbest tweets I have ever encountered, and hope to not encounter anymore.
It’s so insensitive and so no-brainer right? Who would in his humane mind mock a nation that is in a great distress as if what has happened is nothing but a vaudeville joke that deserves a laugh more than a helping hand. Sad, sad, sad.
I just hope those Koreans know how their fellow Koreans are treated here in the Philippines. I guess they haven’t yet heard of Filipino hospitality, I wonder if they ever know what hospitality means, after all their English tutors are ‘monkeys’ right?
Brats! Nothing but low class brats; I am a brat, I know that, and I am proud to say that I only am bratty if people don’t treat me well. I guess those no-brainers now know who they are actually mocking. If you haven’t yet heard, a huge number of Twitter users made it clear to those no-brainers that they’re hitting on a wall, a huge sturdy wall of ‘monkeys’ that has brains, of ‘monkeys’ that knows English more than good.
At the end of the day; I don’t hate Koreans but I am certain I hate those who made and those who commented & liked those Tweets that are obviously written by ‘real monkeys’ that think below the astuteness of those they call ‘monkeys’. Right?

SINO MAY SABING BOBO ako?
When I was a kid, I thought the world’s simply a world of candies and chocolates and amusement parks and every once in a while, a painful pinch. I never thought that the candies and chocolates and amusement parks would transcend into something else, something else that seems to be too hard to get nowadays, happiness is quite expensive a commodity, ayt? And worst I never thought that the every once in a while pinches would happen more often, more painful and worst at times it causes scars already.
Looking back, a day then would simply mean eating breakfast and then lunch and then dinner and snacks in between and then finally going back to bed; but now why’s that life seems too caught up. I believe in myself, but why is it that it seems that the world has it definition of who’d fit in. I’m talking vague, the only point I have actually is that, why’s it that the world seems too complicated and to think things that complicate it are nothing but irrelevant petty little things that most people who fails to really understand the matter at hand had exaggerated, exaggerated beyond conceivable exaggeration that is sucks already. Point again is; I hate my academics (not all, only some irrelevant, time consuming, outdated and outmoded craps they call subjects!)!!! Grr! Although I do believe in the formation that Ateneo gives me, but duh, the academic stuffs are crap! ( not all, but most of )
Siguro nga bobo ako, but duh, this is college, am I supposed to master an outdated programming language if I am actually working my way into Law school? What’s the damned connection? And to think that there exist these soft wares and programs that are actually used in actual office operations like Excel and Calc, so why use FoxPro if out of 10 offices, 10 uses Excel and Calc and 9 of them never heard of FoxPro ever while the other one dumped it in the year 1998. Duh! What’s the damned dumb point?
Fuck and bullshit na lang talaga!
Now tell me, sinong BOBO ngayon?
Who’s gonna eat the fish food if you’re supposed to feed the eagles???
Duh!

ADorably cute!
My day’s been really crappy until I saw this cute commercial that made me laugh out loud, really loud! And guess who the front act was… Chris Tiu! [ sobrang CHEESY]This gave me an idea for this blog; a review slash critic slash admiration slash I do not know what to add, but the thing is, this boils down to one thing; I, sharing to you my most loved advertisements. Listen up…
Atop all advertisements I have ever seen, nothing beats McDonalds’ commercial that features a nerdy like guy loving a kikay girl ever since childhood whom he missed for quite sometime until they met again only this time, him single and the girl taken, worst with a kid. See how sad [ hai ] ? What made me love such an Ad was its killer line; ‘hindi man naging kami sa huli, siya pa rin ang first love ko’. Nothing bugs like first love, ayt? Yeah baby yeah! That’s why I reserve the most hailed spot for them.
Immediately following that McDo Ad is the new commercial I was talking about earlier; it’s a Greenwhich Ad that features my super idol [and crush? hehehe] Chris Tiu! He made a killer shot making his team win and the rest of the Ad was a ‘cheesy’ scene with a teammate carrying him like a babe. Then the scene’s cut with… ‘pare sobrang cheesy’; a line so iconic and comic, I must say. It’s a cute Ad and indeed cheesy. [wink (**,)] But above all that cheesiness, I just can’t get over of the way Tiu looks like on that commercial; it makes me smile even at this moment. ^o^ [ harharhar ]
Recently the Oreo Ad featuring two kids has been aired again, when I first saw that, giggles came out, it was fun recalling being like that cute little kid who made it through. The catch was, an older kid ( probably his brother ) has a class of milk and was able to make the ‘dunk’ and since him ( the younger kid, probably 3 or 4 yrs old ) is was on a training cup, to dunk is impossible. He tried to ‘dunk’ on his brother’s glass but the latter resisted, ego busted, the kid tried and tried and tried until it hit him; he laid the oreo on the table and poured the milk unto it, a ‘dunk’, only inverted. In the end, the made a funny sound like that saying ‘whoah! I did it’. That ad is, a must say, superb.
Another cute Ad is the not so long time ago Ad of Nescafe; it touched me more than got my attention. It was almost a no liner Ad where a college dude in the middle of the night, at the kitchen in what seems to be a bachelors’ pad was engrossed in reviewing for his examinations, after being asked how’s he doing was given by his older brother a cup of hot coffee. Wasn’t that sweet… [ sooo sweet I must say ]
Second touching Ad is the commercial of Lactum that features a deaf mom and her child narrating that despite the fact that he never heard his mom scold him, talk with him, hear her say ‘I love you’; he still feels her love. Damang dama, the Ad’s very effective. That Ad’s very touching that it even made one of my friends cry after he first saw it. T_T
Of advocacy Ads, the Ako Mismo Ad is so effective that it made good enough an impact on its targeted audience, the youth most especially.
Fashionably inclined, the ad of Bench bags the price. The Ad that features their newest models right after the Bench Model Search is really hot and chic and undeniably fashionably innovative. Besides, I love Bench.
Lastly, I love the series of Frenzy Ads especially the one with an old woman at a convenience store and two lovers trying to decide what flavor [ of ice cream, it seems at first] to use. That was so flirty cute!
WEEH; the hell ‘am confused again; Marketing Career or Law?
What do you think suits me, comments please.

can't let the music STOP.
Just woke up…
… and my morning’s a blast. Just like my life now.
The first thing I did was to turn on my laptop, hook it into my speakers and boom; I rocked the morning chills away! I’ve been doing this thing for quite some time now and it’s really helping me a lot. For a person who finds it hard getting up in the morning, I needed some ‘moving forces’ to help me jump out of the bed. Right now on my playlist are songs from David Arch, Gaga, Beyonce, Plain White, and of course songs from Korea, I have 2ne1 and the official soundtracks of BOF! All these, wake me up and kiss my dreams away every morning.
Music has been so dear to me ever since I was a kid. I could recall that the only time that my papa spanked me was because of a kid’s cassette. I was too spoiled then that I got my first ‘palo’ because I chose listing to those songs than joining mom and papa for lunch. Even now recalling that incident, I still feel funny and I just can’t believe that I was already mean and naughty since then. hahahhahahaah ( evil’s laugh) :p
But any way, as I was saying, music plays a part in me; although I am only an enthusiast ‘coz I can’t sing and don’t even know how to play any instrument despite having summer classes and music lessons. I guess music’s not in my blood; it’s simply in my heart. ( yeeeh, sobrang cheesy,,, :p)
To share, here are the songs I really love; when in at home I love pop music on the background like the songs of David arch, Beyonce, gaga’s electroPops as well as Brit’s, katty Perry, David Cook, Boyce Ave, Korean songs like that of 2ne1 and the OST of BOF; in the car I like the Corrs and MYMP, I like sponge and Bamboo and all the rest I’ve mentioned above; before I go to sleep, nothing beats Himig Jesuita, I also like before I go to bed Rivermaya’s Sleep and Sitti’s songs. Actually I have a lot and this space won’t fit…
Anyway, speaking of music I have this cute humble dream; I really want to own a truck ( the kids of a pick up truck ) and a convertible. With the truck I want to go around the country with my friends ( only the best of my friends ) all of us at the back of the truck and as we enjoy the country side sceneries like those when you’re traveling to Manila passing Quezon, Lucena and the places there, we would be simply enjoying the ride with a perpetuity of my favorite songs in the background. From here I want to Manila then up to the North going to Bagiou, to Vigan, until we reach Batanes then w’ would go back passing Manila to Cebu and the rest of the Visayan region and finally reaching Davao and after that go back again to Naga. Wouldn’t it be nice. With the Convertible, I simply want to go cruising Italy, France and the rest of Europe on it with the person I would share my eternity with, while cruising songs that I’ve started to collect now would be our official sound track. So I can’t let the music stop now…
I simply can’t stop the music…
