Black Eyed Peas Has Gotta Feeling

I rarely (almost never) party and I'm in a zero alcohol, zero chemical lifestyle. And I got this feeling...if not inggit...excitement, seeing this video. Out there, there is a big party. And that life is beautiful.

It's so emo. I know.

12 Things I Learned from the Calamity (Ondoy & Pepeng)

1. Na-appreciate kong maging 'taga-bundok'.
2. Binabaha pala ang Antipolo. Ang taas na nun ah.
3. Sa delubyo, walang mayaman, walang mahirap. Pare-pareho lang mga tao.
4. Material things are temporary.
5. This life is uncertain.
6. Hindi lang sobrang pag-init ang epekto ng global warming. Climate change talaga. Tama si Al Gore.
7. Madami palang dam sa Luzon at kahit na malaki ang kinalaman nila sa pagbaha, mahalagang magpakawala ng tubig kapag sobra na sa level dahil mas malaking pinsala kapag gumuho ito. Pero hindi din basta-basta nagpapakawala ng tubig dahil hindi lamang ito water source, ginagamit din ito sa paggenerate ng energy para sa kuryente. Napanood ko 'yan sa Matanglawin.
8. Talo sa 'awa' ang 'sentimental value'.
9. Hindi kami binaha pero naaalala kong binagsakan ng malaking sanga ng puno ang bubong namin noong typhoon Milenyo. Mas takot pa din ako sa hangin kesa sa ulan.
10. Lumulutang pala ang ref sa baha.
11. Kaya kung kami ang bahain, ilalagay ko ang mga gusto kong i-save sa loob ng ref.
12. Kung paanong necessity ang payong kapag umuulan, hindi masamang magbaon ka na din ng life vest at lubid. At magandang investment ang air beds dahil pwede itong maging rubber boat.

Doctor, Doctor, I am...lovesick

Nag-absent ako some few weeks back because of my sore throat. So, I had to get checked kasi I needed a med cert. Lumabas ako ng bahay na umaambon at ang sama ng pakiramdam ko. It was one of those bad days at tamad na tamad ka talaga.

I was surprised when I met the doctor. He wasnt wearing the white gown and he doesn't even look like he's 30. Mukha lang siyang gaya ko, nag-absent at kelangan ng med cert. But I remember him being so nice, caring and very decent. And while I was paying at the cashier, the nurse handed him my med cert that he needed to sign, and I overheard them talking about how the nurse was suprised that he goes to VCF pala, and attends small groups...and I remember thinking..."and he's a Christian." And they carried on, for quite a while, talking about this church stuff, hawak pa din ng dok yung med cert ko and I was still waiting for him to sign it. I just waited.

I almost never blog about crushes and boys. Ngayon lang. I got his name and license #, but no, I don't have plans of stalking him. I'm just fascinated...how meeting him changed my mood from bad...to good. I'm just amazed. When I meet the guy for me, that's how I'd like it to feel. It feels right, like the heaven is smiling or something. =) Mushy.

Then one day naman on the same week, I went to Mega Mall. And while I was there, with all these people around me that should make me feel little and insignificant, I felt God's love. I should feel insecure but I felt peace. It's amazing. Na parang, sa gitna nilang lahat, I knew my place and I knew my purpose.

This thing...(cough, cough), love...is unbelievable.
