New Year’s Resolution's of a Little Kid

During Elementary to High School we’ve been assigned every year to do a teensy weensy list about the things we pledge to change, to do, to steadfast on the coming year. Well, making new year resolution is super. Because you will think of things you want to improve and change in yourself but as if you will gonna do it.

Because it was awesome to make resolutions, I had my own too. Let me share it with you.

1.       Thinking before speaking.

Okay, guilty, I am a little bit, offensive person. But it’s not like that, let’s just say that I am thinking while I’m speaking. Sometimes, I have said 10words already ‘til I realize that what I said was highly inappropriate in the situation, and I can’t bring it back anymore.

2.       Lose weight and [hopefully] gain height.

I am actually on a diet, in this whole vacation galore, I’ve been spending my morning custom in my crusade to get a better figure and healthy body. I need more patience and discipline, nevertheless. And to eat healthy foods. To add a few inches in my height, was a dream. Haha. Yes, it was. I am teased for my petite physique. Hello bullies! Just wait, I’ll jump and jump this New Year, and when I become taller than you, I will crush you down to pieces! :P

3.       To find Le Grand Amour.

This is not a wish. :D

4.       To study even harder.

I know, being in a college, needs a lot of stretching bones, and I stretched it to the edge but I think it isn’t enough. That is why, I will work my ass off, much harder and more serious.

5.       To make new friends.

I have friends, alright. But it is cool, to have new friends also. I remember, when I was in my first year in college, I don’t have any friends. Acquaintance, maybe. But not to the point that you will hangout together. That is because, I’m a little bit uptight, and I can’t ride on their spree. But now, I have numerous friends, and I’m being so boastful about it! Haha

6.       To minimize my gags in my siblings that causes fight, sometimes.

So much for Ms. USA/ Ms. Universe’s sibling quarrels. I usually play jokes to my sisters, sometimes, they are not into it. But I still pursue my fancy jokes, and I made them pissed. Hihi. Anyway, I may just refrain doing that, to minimize quarrels in the house.

7.       To participate, and join the advocacy to save the Earth.

After all this year’s catastrophe, saving the environment is a must. True. This MUST be on your resolution too, love.

8.       To become a better person.

This is a conclusion, actually. We all made mistakes, made wrong decisions, did something that hurt somebody, right? But let’s think, as long as we were about to face a new year, we also given the chance to make things right and make up all things that didn’t went so well. Ever year, every month, every day, every minute, every second is a chance, true story.

It only means that you have the time to forfeit the pride, and forgive and ask for forgiveness. The nerve to turn your back in to the vices you used to have. To thank people for making your life happy. To kneel down, pray, and be blessed before the Mayans troll our 2013 and faux the doomsday again. (-_-“)

Happy New Year, love! Godbless!

Single Person’s Melancholy

People who was screwed on relationships always has nitpicks about themselves, true. Like, “I’m unhappy.” “I need a hug.” “I’m ugly, I’m fat.” “Those couple will end up screwed…too.”

Well, that is normal, especially when you were still bitter about how you end up being single.

Having a relationship is highly overrated, being a single, aside. With all due respect to my friends who were in relationship. Boy-Girl mutual commitment has obviously has its bad side too. That is why, I am here to ease the ego of my bitter-o-bitter friends. Oh, okay, like me.

- When you are single, you can do whatever you wanna do and go wherever you wanna go.

Sure, this is right. There’s no one to block your way to happiness and enjoyment. Mostly, to my girl friends with conservative boyfriends. We, girls can have fun too.

- You don’t have to feel insecure about yourself.

Yes, another truth, you don’t have to dress up for your love and mostly to look presentable next to him/ her. But another thing, when you were single, you can dress better than before to show that instead of being haggard and wasted because of your loneliness, you became pretty, well-dressed and blooming.

- You can befriend to anyone.

Having a bf/gf sets limitation for you to grow. Is it the appropriate words? To grow? Maybe, because concerning on someone’s feeling sets wall for you to socialize to others and to know new knowledge. Someone once said that, “Knowing million people, only means knowing million stories.” And you will learn from that stories, but if you are hesitated to know them, you are also hesitated to learn, right?

- You don’t have to worry, cry, gets angry, paranoid because of someone.

Sure. This is bad. Because when your bf/gf go out with his/her friends, even he/she said that he will behave, and he/she have your trust, there still a little worries about his whereabouts. It will keep you unsleepy, turn to eyebags, turn to aging, turn to worry lines, turn to being ugly. Err.

- You don’t have to think how to make someone happy.

Check. Admit it. It is hard to please someone with such high standards. It will forfeit big budget, lot of brainstorming, lot of time. I’m not abolishing driven efforts here. But we should really consider this.

- You can focus on much more essential things.

Sometimes, relationship is an interference. You know, instead of pleasing your parents because you study hard, pleasing your bf/gf becomes the main thing. So, sometimes, it became a hindrance to the things, eventually, much more important than having a relationship.

Really, I hate to look like I’m bitter here, but as a personal experience, love isn’t that good. Or maybe it’s just me. Maybe I can’t handle relationships like long-time partners does. But I just want this to serve as a suppressor to those broken hearts.

I know, you also have your own have pros and cons in your mind about if it’s good or bad to be single. But we all need is time. We should not treat relationships just as a piece of cake. Because, we just can’t say that.. “Hey, I love you forever.” Because in love, forever has an end. We just can’t trust pinky promises. There’s no glass shoes, tower or seven dwarfs. And everything will change, eventually. So take your time kiddo, slow down, stay happy and the right love in the right time will surely arrived with its noble steed, a shield and a sword. Haha! Again, be happy! J

Doomsday Conspiracy

I know, some of us, was being frantic about the happening in the 21^st of December, 2012. Well, love, is it really the end of the world? If it is, I had made a few pointers you might wanna do before the world vanished, just in case.

1.       Praise GOD.

We should, definitely. Because we all know that GOD, can save us in anything that will happen. With all due respect to our atheist friends, we believe that if you believe in Him and obey His commandments, you will surely be save when Judgement Day comes.

2.       Eat your favorite foods.

Since we don’t know what will happen, we should pamper ourselves with foods we bitterly and painfully avoided because of the strict diet. Why give boundaries for your happiness if you will soon vanish, anyway? Let’s forget the calories and carbs and cholesterols and dig in to our favorite foods.

3.       Forgive and Forget.

Actually, this was one of the best way to be happy.. Life will be easier if you wash away grudges in your heart. And since we are talking about the last minutes of your life, you should forgive and forget, because you will never had the chance to do that in your after life.

4.       Ask for forgiveness to the people you hurt.

This is indeed necessary, as important as number 3. You don’t want to die with flaws and grudges, right? Even in soap operas and movies, they do this. Much more in reality. As I said, you will never had the chance to do this later.

5.       Go to the places you love.

It might be the end, and you will not see the places with wrapped great moments and memories.

6.       Tell your love ones how much you love them.

This is suggested specially to those who have an introvert personality that keeps their feelings in the shadows. I mean, you should express your feelings before it’s too late and there’s no time for you to say.. “I love you mama, papa.”

7.       Do the things you didn’t do before.

This is the last time you will do something stupid, that’s why, lubus lubusin mo na, as they said. Step out in your comfort zone and raise you crazy level a bit as usual, for example, plank in the middle of the road, pee in public, ring the doorbell of your neighbor and then run. There’s a lot of things that looks obnoxious to those who are living the “good life” but to others it will be the best things that you will experience in your life.

                What I am trying to say here, doomsday or not, you should live the life you want to live. Maybe it was bound with limitations, but there’s nothing wrong about being happy once in a while. I don’t know what will happen on Friday, but here’s what I do know, you should live happily and God-fearing with a zing energy and optimism, live a life and do the things you want, love. Earth will not end on the 21st, anyway, believe me. No one knows, actually. Have a nice one! J

P.S: Sorry, love, for elaborating things too short. I am actually really sleepy, and I can’t focus because of something I just knew that keeps me pre-occupied. L

On the 20th of February

It will be 75 days before my birthday and I am now brainstorming things I want to have so I make a brief wishlist. Well, you see I am pretty easy to please, my happiness standard is too low so I am here to convince you why I want them..

1.     Cake, balloons, and flowers

- This is a little bit for a child but I want it. My 18^th birthday celebration was not like it so I am super wanted it.

2.     A box of butter cookies

- Favorite. Since I was a little kid. Really. Haha. I just want the feeling that your cheeks and jawbone freezes because of the sweetness.

3.     Books of Sidney Sheldon and Bob Ong

- Yes, I am a bookworm, I love to read in my free time, err, yes, even it’s not my free time. I’m really attached to books, unfortunately I can’t affords books even from “Books For Less”, I’m poor. Period.

4.     CD of Gloc-9, Eminem, and Parokya Ni Edgar

- Okay, if you know me, I dream to be a rapper. And Gloc-9 and Eminem are my idol and PNE. When I’m scanning my phone’s playlist, my eyes was really searching for their songs. They rock. \m/

5.     Red wine and white wine

- Honestly, I never drank one of them because.. I don’t know. Bakit nga ba? I just want in my birthday, I can have the chance to drink even one of those wines.

6.     Different size of paint brushes, acrylic paint, 48 watercolors, 11”x 18” Sketchpad, Watercolor paper, 48 colored pencils, 3b and 6b drawing pencils

- Okay, once, I ask my mama to give me money to buy this things, but I can’t ask for more that’s why I can’t buy them all. L I dream to be an artist or a fashion designer though, I admit, I can’t draw beautiful things like others can but I’m really sure to pursue my dreams.

7.     An Ironman or Captain America shirt

- You see, I am a fan of this avengers. I idolize them so much and having a shirt with their printed logo or faces will be totally super.

8.     Lastly, a complete family

- This wish was consistent in my list and hoping every year to be granted. But I’m really aware that having your parents away means a good future. So I won’t be tired to wish this and wait.

                Tears wiped.

                I planned to grant my own wishes. Haha. That’s why I am having a time out for spending too much. Haha!

                Well, thanks for reading, love. Have a nice day! J

The nature, the future, and the hero

People of the Philippines was really startled, shocked and terrified as the Typhoon Pablo roamed and left a extreme damage in our country especially in Visayas region. While watching TV, I see how people of all ages rescued and it gives me shivers. As if their feelings was passed on me through the screen. As the dead and missing people increased the hopes of the ‘pinoys are decreasing.

                Why now? Why calamities and disaster were getting 10 times more furious than before? I have my own answer to that question, it’s because people now, are much more greedy, selfish and irresponsible. Who we are supposed to blame in this charade of death and misery? Is it the West Monsoon? The Sharks? Greek Gods and Goddesses? China? Or YOU?!

                Human. A delicate, most intelligent, most emotional creation that God made. Too bad, even greediness, gluttony, irresponsibility and misery was also written in the Bible. Destroying our environment is like destroying yourself. Who will reap this vicious cutting of trees without replacing them? Who will kill themselves for burning plastics and rubbers and who will end up dead because of air pollution? Aren’t you afraid? Maybe now, no. But what if you wake up in the morning by a loud thud from underground and your house has been swallowed by the ground? Or what if you have to live in a raft because the whole city was flooded? Or what if an angry storm, washed out your property including your business, house and family?

Pal, there’s nothing more painful than finding your missing family in the line of dead bodies in the streets, and keep asking the rescuers to find them, and praying that they are still alive, and you will surely, blame yourself for this.

                Fellow people. Let’s CHANGE! The betterment starts with an act of random kindness to nature.

                Why use plastic if we can use reusable eco bags? Why burn bottle of waters, containers and tires if we can recycle them to much better helpful things? Why experiencing floods if we can prevent them by planting trees? Why throw garbage everywhere, if you can segregate and divide the non-biodegradable and biodegradable things?

                Why we just act and change when we were already punished? Let’s move now while we have time to change things. If you ignore this signs and warnings from nature, 5 years or so, you might buying your own canned purified fresh air.

                Shall we wait for the next disaster to beat us and teach us lessons? We can blame no one except ourselves in this, if we didn’t abused nature we still can picture a better future. Let’s think for our family and friends and to the next generations who wish to have a better environment, that’s why, let’s think always that we are the superheroes for kids of tomorrow, and you will say one day that, “I once save the Earth.”

 And the super power we have was the laser eyes with extreme DISCIPLINE, we can teleport INITIATIVE and we can give KINDNESS faster than the lightning.

                Always remember, one act of random kindness, can change the world, hero. J

I Wonder How It feels Like To Have A Crush

     Okay, guilty. HAHA. That shouldn't be the appropriate title. For those who knows me well, I am having a new crush every two hours. It is just a crush. So nothing big, actually.

     But sometimes, I am really really getting serious about it, like, you are hoping to get his attention or even notice you, right? Most of the time, having a crush had been way too hardcore, less than stalking but more than admiring.

   Yep, guilty is charged again, I've been through that. There is nothing wrong about assuming or expecting, specially when your crush was giving you motives and anything. That was the problem, when your crush starts knowing that you got your eye on him, he was starting to like you or give positive hints that he got his eye on you too, it just not clear if he was really sincere or he just like the guessing game..

     It is confusing, yes, that is why I have here some tips maybe you wanna consider. :)

1. Mind set. "It is just a crush."

- You don't have to exaggerate your feelings. Because it will always lead to assuming and expectations of things not likely to happen.

2. Befriend with your crush.

- If you wanna earn pogi points or ganda points, you should be friendly to your crush and his friends. But again, not to the point that you will look like a creepy stalker or what. Add him in Facebook, but don't go over the edge that you will tell him everything you saw on his account. That will sound creepy talaga.. Likes and positive comments on his status is a good move, but not too much.

3. Don't differentiate crush from friend.

- Okay, this is the thing, eventhough you have a crush on him/her, it doesn't mean you are more than friends. That is why you should bound limitations. Of course, act as a normal friend. Greet him when you meet him at the hallway.

4. Decide well if you will skip the friend zone or stay on where you are.

- This is tricky. Of course you'll risk anything you have and you might lost in any chance. That is why you should decide carefully, of course, it is in your instinct if you'll get a positive feedback. If you can't choose between having feelings more than crush or just friendship, you can remain silent and visualize what you really want.

5. Never ever play the "Other Woman/Man"'s part.

- If your crush is already taken, ignore number 4. Kdot?

6. Just carry on with the guessing game.

- If your crush is showing some little clue of affection too, just stay calm.. Don't jump into conclusions or inferences with indefinite clues, it might lead to wrong answers. Let your crush develop the whole message he wanna say, you can figure it out sooner or later. Maybe he just want the chase or also confused on what he is feeling about you, no pressures.

For example: I have this crush in school, he knew that I have a crush on him, I just wanna share why I actually admire him..

One afternoon, as I was passing down the hallway, I saw him approaching, I don't know him back then but he looks familiar because I know, he was one of my classmates, and he smiled and stared at my eyes for a long time, and I was like, God, soooo cute.. Since then, I really really admire him.

But I guess knowing that I have a crush on him, made him a bit denial or maybe against it, I don't know. I got his number, texted him sometimes, sending GroupMessage and he did the same. The confusing part in here is he sometimes send me PersonalMessages, and he was sweet and I was like, "OMG! I have to reply!" and obviously, I reply in a wink, but yes, I'll wait for his reply for about a couple of minutes, sometimes hour, sometimes, he will never reply. It was repeated many times and it will leave me wondering, what was that? -_- Maybe, he was just playing game or just busy or I don't know. Therefore, what I'm gonna do is just carry on. I'm not really in to it.. It is just nice to have a crush who's one of the reason you want to attend on that class. HAHA. Right? :3

      For the meantime, while I'm recovering for that confusion, made by my crush, I am secretly dating cute and cool guys.. in my mind! HAHA. I will share my long time crushes, na basted na ako from the start. XD

Zachary Levi, I really adored him, on the first time I saw him in Alvin and the Chipmunks as Toby, then he give the voice for Flynn/Eugene in Tangled. I really love him smiling.. Soooo cute.

Channing Tatum, so hot, I stalk him in Facebook and every website I know just to be updated. Darn it. Look at his eyes. <3

Ben Stiller, I really adored him, he was so funny, all of his movies, even in his action films. I love him playing the role Alex, in Madagascar 1, 2, and 3.

Yes, Dallas MAVS, number 41, Dirk Nowitzki! Really, I was so pissed with LJ when he was bullying him. Unfortunately, they didn't made the championship this year. Sad. I was really fighting for my rights for the TV and remote control last summer, because no one in our house likes NBA except me.

Look, I'm really a NBA fan. Derrick Rose. Yes, if the world will know, I am the long distance cheerleader for Rose! I scream when he was tripped. How can they do that to him? Keep cheering until our TV Monitor get pissed and get out of good reception. Hahaha.  Atleast, he was good-looking man and really a sportsman.

I'm a fan, told ya. I idolizes the Big Three, alright, but I idolize more their pinoy coach, Erik Spoelstra. When I was watching and the camera focuses on him, I was like, "Hey! That's my idol!" Too bad, I didn't know he came for a visit here in 'Pinas. :(

Saw him in American Idol Season 11, and I was shocked. Colton Dixon, why so good looking and talented? Why!?

Haah! So funny Phil Phillips, I salute Jessica, but yes, I like Phillip more, not because he is cute, but he sings well and even, his winning earned controversy, well, he deserves to be the American Idol 11 Winner.

Akira Sendoh, since second year high school, I really really really want to have a chance with him. HAHA. Sounds animistic. Yes. The creator of this character made a nice role for him. I know, every Slamdunk fan agrees with me.

Yehee. Of course, if you know him, your childhood was awesome. Son Goku.

Childhood memory: I cried when Goku died because of the explosion of Cell, and the Dragon Balls can't bring him back to life anymore. All of the characters cried, and I am crying too.. Well, the "bida" can't die, right? For a kid, it was just "makatotohanan."

    Well, let's wrap it up.. I hope this post can help you deal with your crush, have a good day sweetie! :)

Straight To The Abyss

     This past few days, I've been feeling down. Well, I don't know why. I guess, I'm kinda losing my grip upon myself. I just noticed, I am lonely most of the time. I am lacking my confidence to go out and meet my friends. I' should enjoy my vacation but I just can't. 

     Really, I don't know what's happening to me.. Sometimes, there are the feeling that I just wanna cry. I feel empty and torn inside. My smiles and laughter when I am with my family and friends was like a first aid medication. It only last just for a second.

     I am thinking of the finest and effective remedy for this scorching feeling, but again, I just can't think of any way. You know this feeling? It was like you were in a crowded room, filled with noise and you were about to shout to call for help and you just don't make a sound.

     I am so sensitive which is unusual. I easily get offended on what people say. I always ask people if I look fat and if they say that I am fat, it hurts. I don't want to be ordered around. I don't want someone yelling at me. I hate it when my clothes didn't fit me well. I am building stupid hatred in my heart, because I can't say a word to fight back. Words kept unspoken was occupying a lot of space in my heart, and I don't have the gift to just erased it in a snap.

    Sometimes, I just wanna cry, for some people just don't understand what I am going through. Then say that I'm such a good for nothing human. But how can they understand? I can't even understand what is going on.

     Most of the time, I am tempted to go to a place where I can shout and complain without people saying that I am wrong, then cry my heart out until I run out of tears. Because most of the people in my life always gets me wrong. What they can see is my bad side and never gave me chance to show the other side.

     Tears fell.

     I don't know why I feel like I am an empty notebook in a do or die examination. Worthless.

    Maybe this feeling was due to my changing physique where I am preventing to get worst. Lovelife is not out of the question. Or maybe I just miss my friends. Or I'm just pressured with my new major subjects. Or maybe because of the overrated primetime soap operas I watched every evening. I don't know.

    But, I should be better sooner or later. Hopefully.

E D M A R K ♥

     Last Saturday was a blast, we celebrated for that was our last meeting for Humanities I. We just party like there's no tomorrow. Actually, we were so thankful for our prof because she allowed us to be wild like that.

     Let's skip to the part I wanna tell, we were having a talent portion, where everyone was required to showcase their hidden talent. -_-" I have no talent, actually. But kudos to my classmates who gave me scores for my effort.

     We picked up numbers for who comes first. Actually, Edmark, picked up 16 or 17, but he insists to swapped places with number 20, near to the last number. At first, I asked him why, then he said, "Ayoko mauna e." Which was acceptable. Kabado siguro mag-perform.

    Skip scenes again.. When number 19 performer, James, was performing, I noticed Edmark seems uncomfortable, he keeps going and going to our prof's office. (Our prof's office was in NDEP, and we celebrated it in NDEP, that's why.) When it's his turn, he sang Pag-ibig by Yeng Constantino. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c55_B9QiRE. When he was singing, I noticed Alec, his buddy, was carrying his racket bag. Edmark is a badminton player.

     Since, it was a talent portion, I guessed that he might be playing some tricks and exhibition while singing, but when he reached for his bag, he pull out flowers and chocolate and walked straight at me.

     And I was like, "OMG! OMG! OMG! What? qnjsfgkcmdhs!? ahfjgdjidmcjhf!!" The crowd started cheering and clapping, but honestly I don't  really remember what was the crowd's reaction, because I was so stunned, like the world stop moving for 10 or 20 seconds.

    It was a mini heart attack. My prof asked me to give a little message, complimenting Edmark's effort, but I'm awfully speechless. All I wanna know that time was to thank him, thank him, and thank him again.

     I just wanna cry that time, but it will be so overrated. But what!? Any girl wants to be treated as a princess right? Another dream of mine came true.

     He always say that he just want me to be HAPPY. And I salute him for that.

     I hope guys knew that their main duty for girls is to make them happy with respect and loyalty. Right girls?

     It was so darn awful I didn't have any pictures of what Edmark did. :/ But I think, this photos will give you an idea what happened, last Saturday. ;D

Photos by: Jerson Plaviano

After all the hyperactivity, we got all haggard and wasted. Ikaw ba naman sumayaw ng Oppa Gangnam Style. Wew. Pero, sobrang saya talaga. XD

Hi Jewel! Hi James! Sorry guys, I have to be greedy this time. I really don't wanna share. Hihi. I don't even wanna eat it. I'm so sentimental nut.

Though my sister was giving dirty looks . Insisting that we both should the chocolate. Sugarcoating reasons why we should eat it. XD

Another photo I wanna share..

He spelled out my initials using shuttlecocks.. This is sweet.

    All my friends suggested that I should entertain things and have a relationship. But I think, we should not rush everything. There's no deadline. My full time duty is to study hard for I know, I will 

receive a big big reward after. Hello Mama! :*

     I always believe that true love waits. :)

It Is More Fun In Umingan!

      I came from this small town, near the high mountains and classic view of savannas and wide open spaces. I always remember, I used to ran to this open spaces like a free gazelle, with overwhelming excitement thinking that billions of people in this cruel world.. I had the chance to dance and caressed by the wind, feel the grace of the pouring rain, take a nap in a hammock lulled by the fresh air..

      There are thousands of reasons why I love my hometown, Umingan. Especially, when you spend lot of your stressful time in the city, with deadlines, traffic, pollution of any kind, crowded places and bad people running rampant on the streets.

      Last March, 2012. I'd planned to join a contest, featuring hometowns, but unfortunately due to busy schedules and lack of internet access, I failed to send my entry. Anyway, I really love to share photos I gathered last summer.

Taga Umingan Ka Kung...

Alam na alam mo ang slogan ng town natin.

Nanood, pumusta, o isa ka sa naglalaro ng basketball kahit tanghaling tapat sa plaza.

Na-try mo na gamitin ang C.R na 'to..

Isa ka sa mga pasaway na tumatambay sa kubo na 'to..

Tinitingala mo siya pag dumadaan ka sa park..

Tinatawag mo 'tong "CASTLE", tapos dito kayo tumatambay after class..

Na-amaze ka sa nag-iisang fountain ng park..

Kilala mo s'ya..

Alam na alam mong may kalabaw sa gilid ng park. Minsan sinasakayan mo pa.. Tapos di mo na alam paano bumaba..

Nagfa-family day kayo sa Children's Park around 3PM..

Nakapag- "indayun" ka na sa swing na 'to..

Isa ka sa mga batang pag nagsi-see saw na sumisigaw ng.. "Balance! Balance tayo!"

Isa ka sa mga taga UNHS, QMA, ICCS na naguunahan para makaupo sa silong ng umbrella tree na 'to.. Obviously, sila ang nauna this time.

Kilala mo sila, paikot ikot sa plaza.. Ang ating mga masisipag na LGU..

Binasa mo lang ang rules na 'to.. Pero hindi mo sinunod.

Kilala mo sila, mga marshals tuwing basketball tournament pag fiesta..

Isa ka sa mga nakikipag-agawan sa malaking electric fan na 'to tuwing liga sa GYM.

Bumibili ka kay ante ng candy, yosi, palamig at 5pesos na softdrinks..

Bumibili ka ng buko juice, tapos feel mo may magic sugar tapos bibili ka ulit..

Bumibili ka ng mani at di mo alam anong gusto mo kasi madaming pagpipilian..

Isa ka sa mga nagpuyat para manood ng Ms. Gay, Ms. Umingan, Variety Show, Barangay Night at iba pang mapapanood tuwing fiesta sa Auditorium na 'to..at madalas, "Audi" lang ang tawag mo dito..

Kasama mo ang tropa mo at nagliliwaliw kayo sa park... magka-akbay.

Alam mong mga Veterans ang naka-ingrave sa batong 'to..

Isa ka sa mga bumibili ng icedrop with different kinds of flavors, like buko, ube and cheese..

Nakapaghugas ka na ng paa sa posong 'to..

Noong bata ka, madalas mo antayin ang sundo/ service mo ng bandang alas-4 sa tapat ng school..

Bumibili ka sa "piyestaan" kasi "sampu, sampu, lahat ng mahawakan, sampu, sampu.."

      I know you're wondering why I decolorize this images because, we may not have SuperMalls, big stadiums, and hotsprings to make us colorful, but what we do have is our smiles..

     That smiles from hope, faith and perseverance. That smiles from every calamity that taught us lessons, from the tears, from the sweat because of the burning sun in the rice fields. The smiles that appears when our tatays visits his crop and seeing a very good harvest in the future, the smiles from our nanays when they saw us learned from school. If I'm a painter, I am blessed.. Because that smiles... gives the most fascinating burst of colors that you can see only on us, in Umingan.

     Feeling lucky? So am I. Why? Because it is more fun in Umingan! :)
