Ready or Not

It's been half a decade
since we... yet I feel that I am
not yet ready... ready for
another... I always convince
myself that I'm just busy...
busy at the moment... When
will I be ready? Will I ever be
ready again? Is there a
formula to this problem?
Maybe I need someone else...
someone to forget you...
May be I need more time...
Maybe I should take a risk
and leap... leap even if the
wounds are not yet healed...
Maybe, the wounds are
already healed... I'm just
afraid to acquire another
wound... Afraid that the
next wound could be fatal...
The wounds are healed yet
the pain still lingers... Pain
being savored slowly
through loneliness... Busying
myself to take my mind out
of the pain... through
sports, work, thinking,
reading, writing... Learning
to hide the loneliness under
insincere smiles... Learning
to cope with loneliness by
messing with my mind...
Creating imaginary friends...
Multiple personalities...
Imagining role playing...
Role playing of suicide... My
suicide... All this thoughts,
are hidden... Whenever I
met a new... I immediately
compare her to you... Still
imprisoned in your charms...
Etched in my mind... The
secrets that we keep... The
happy memories we
shared... And the tears that
fell... when you passed away.

Longest Running Soap Opera in the Philippines

Many people are enthusiastic of watching the news, reading the newspaper, and listening to AM radio stations just to find out what's the latest story in the reality soap opera entitled "The Philippine Government". The soap opera is not only the longest running show in the Philippines but also the all time top rated show of the country. What is more remarkable with this soap opera is, not only it is not just being shown in one single local TV or radio station, but also each station has their own version and own point of view of the whole story. This soap opera contains more drama, action, comedy and horror than the Filipino, American, Indian and Mexican Showbiz, TV and Movie Industry and the World Wrestling Entertainment combined. The story revolves around friendships, betrayal, stealthy and skillfull theft, control of power, mass coercion and brainwash, henious crimes, death and renewed friendships, through engineously and outrageously created story lines. The story lines are so perfectly made that when it seems that a problem would be solved, a new imaginative plot would then arise as if on queue. The transition from one controversy to another is so well planned and so smooth, that local news stations aren't having any problems for thinking of an alternative news should a miraculous day where everything's doing fine in the government arises. Truly, the story lines are of high caliber, a Stephen Spieldberg director would envy for it. Not only do the story lines are deserving of good praises from critics, but also the actors playing the parts are doing a superb job. The way they move, the way they act, even the way they speak in front of the camera are very much convincing. The actors does not only consists of the elected public officials, but also the political leaders of various political groups and the religious leaders of various religions. Some of the actors even conduct fans day themselves, where they appear and talk personally in front of thier fans. Through there, the audience could see their idols live and in action. Their fans call this performance "rally", and they call themselves, "rallyist". Rallyists easily outnumbers the audience of other sensational famous rock bands, singers, and other soap opera actors from other countries like "F4". These actors are very skilled and talented in acting that if they auditioned for star circle search, they could easily have won. The success of the soap opera is so eminent that other successful and famous personalities from various fields like movie and TV industry, sports, music and radio commentaries are still would like to audition just to be recognized that they have been a part of this so called soap opera.

Maligayang Paglaya (also a tribute to ADU815-03)


Freedom at last! Congrats sa mga kabatch ko for finally being free of the bond. Miss you na guys! It's been 2 years since we first joined Accenture. I could clearly remember my first day here. July 14, 2003, 5:00 am, I woke up and went directly to my computer to check my ambar account (www.darklights.com). someone has PM'd me on my YM saying she wanted me to be her friend. After a few minutes of chatting with her, she started messaging me dirty stuffs. I was shocked. I imediately blocked her in my YM and continue surfing the net. At around 6:30 am, I was heading to the office along molave ave, when a speeding scooter with a rider only wearing shorts and no protective gear, passed me. As I arrived near the St. Scho gate a minute later, a group of people were gathered watching the lifeless body of the poor rider over a pool of blood. his scooter was 10 meters away from him. A tricycle driver was in tears as he tried to tell his story to a policeman on sight what happened. So much for my first day. The rest of the day seemed ok except that I arrived 30 minutes late for the NJO (new joiner's orientation). I also remember Cecil as one of my seatmate during NJO.

Guys, ulitin naman natin ang Antipolo! Kahit hindi na dun. I remember the "ala fear factor" scab hunt we did where my team won (sori di ko na maalala kung sino mga kateam ko)! I also remember when Weng and I had to eat a whole banana without hands (I think our upper lips touched a bit but di namin inamin back then. Sori sa nangyari Weng). Who could forget the card game we used to play and the surprising "IKAW!!!" expression of Jeff (Good luck sa next chapter mo! Kung maulit ung antipolo, di ka na namin paiinumin ulit!=)). Who could also forget (I hope I did) the itsy bitsy tinnie winnie trunks ni Vincent? konting muscle na lang, pwede na syang mag audition sa bay watch! Speaking of bay, who could also forget our Vegitarian Bei? Ang pinakamaingay sa group (next to Jen-jen). Sori sa mga di ko pa nababanggit. Too many good memories to tell, too little space. May isa pa kong secret na ibubunyag. Habang nagdadrive ako pauwi from antipolo, a tear excaped my eye. I realized that that was the last day na lahat tayo ay muling magkakasamasama =.(. I hope I was wrong. I also hope that you could prove me wrong.
