tanggap ko naman kung machuchugi aketch..

home-based job

2011-08-23T17:24:00.002+08:00

PROS:
- you have time for your kid
- you can still manage the house
- at the comfort of your home
- if your work doesn't have quota or deadline, you can work anytime, even during weekend (i think this should be on CON =.=)

CONS:
- if you're not good at time management, you won't be able to finish anything
- can't focus on your work, a lot of distractions
- you still have to do house chores
- if it has deadline, you have to work on hours to be able to meet it
- you can still work after 5pm

i think, i still prefer to work in an office than at home =.=

*this pros & cons differ on the line of work you have ;)

ikaw ang makapal!!!

2011-08-16T21:58:00.004+08:00

share ko lang pala..

sa facebook, mas marami pang relatives ng asawa ko ang friend ko kesa sa mga relatives ko. katawa noh.. hehehe. kilala na naman nila ako noon pang magboyfriend kami ni Roel kasi siguro.. add lang nila ako.. hehehe. di ko kasi mahanap yung sa side ko, esp. mga relatives ko sa father side.

tapos, since ang napangasawa ko eh same village ko lang.. dumami tuloy family/relatives ko dito sa lugar namin. kung dati, mga tita at in-laws ng mga pinsan ko lang.. ngayon, plus in-laws ko at 1 tita (& fam). pros & cons.. marami sigurado, di ko na yan maisa-isa =.=

ang lalo ko pang kinaiinisan eh bat di nya bitawan yung #2. sus!! kesho di rin kasi marunong magluto yung #3, ayaw nyang magstart ulit. kasi sila nung #2 noon, eh talagang nag-umpisa sa sunog na pagkain, etc.. eh ngayon kc marunong na sya kaya ayaw niyang bitawan. ano yun 'spare tire' nya sya.. para may babalikan sya if ever di talaga nagwork out sila ni #3.. pakxet sya!!!

bes, touch ako XD

2011-03-24T18:10:00.003+08:00

touch ako sa post ng HS bes ko -

Bing Batalla Aase Ebreo-Mantalaba

A-a-se :I can't remember san nag simula yan ...

just a lil tribute : freshman years when I met aase .. kapitbahay ng grahambell and edison ... transferee ako noon... then meron impression noon na pag STAR section eh mga best of the best ... along with her naging barkada ko sila abi de castro, Renleth dogelio and Razel Estrella. Since then, kami na lang ni Aase ang naging in touch along with Michelle Pambid ... Nawalan ng communication for a while pero now that we're back on track ...

kung mag 15 years na tayong graduate sa Liceo, our friendship spanned more that those number of years .. dami man akong best friends from HS, but definetely you're one of them ... Over the years I wish nothing but to see you happy, know that you are ok and now with your family. I may not say this often as I could, but indeed you are a great blessing to me, one of the people I will always cherish and love not only as a friend but beyond ... kapatid ... Happy Happy Birthday .. =)

Tuesday at 12:02pm ·
Khat Zia based sa kwento nio ni libs ay tlagang nkk-awa ang condition nia...and that person badly needed aid tlaga...klasmeyts, sna nman ay matulungan nio dn cia the way na tinulungan nio yung iba nting klasmeyts at batchmates...that person is waiting for your support...thanks...
Tuesday at 12:04pm · · 1 person
Laiza Cano salamat khatz...and speaking of which, kelan ba natin pupuntahan tong classmate natin na ito? i want u to see this person...so that u'll have a clear picture of what i'm talking about...
Tuesday at 12:07pm ·
Khat Zia just tell me when...but honestly, i dont wanna go kc bka maiyak lng ako sa sobrang awa sa knya...pro kelangan nting gwin ang dpat which is tulungan cia...cno pa ba ang tutulong sa knya kundi yung mga taong willing tlga na mgbigay ng aid at inde yung napipilitan lng...am i ryt?!?...
Tuesday at 12:24pm ·
Laiza Cano true that!...ang pagtulong sa kapwa ay dapat walang pinipili...no biases..no prejudices...yan ang tunay na pagtulong...
Tuesday at 12:27pm ·
Libby Puyal-Mace at saka mga tol pwede naman tumulong in other ways kung walang pera. kahit nga used clothing pwede na or mga gamit sa bahay
Tuesday at 12:37pm ·
Libby Puyal-Mace kasi kung makikita lang ng mga classmates natin yun tinitirhan nya eh wala talaga sya mga gamit
Tuesday at 12:38pm ·
Laiza Cano oo naman...kahit ano naman na magagamit pa at mapapakinabangan ay pwedeng ibigay...alam naman natin na lahat tayo ay naghihigpit ng sinturon ngayon dahil di naman madaling kumita ng pera, pero kung makakatulong sa kapwa mo sa anumang paraan na alam mo eh pagpapalain ka ng langit di po ba?
Tuesday at 12:39pm ·
Libby Puyal-Mace tumpak! share your blessings ika nga. at tumulong ng walang hinihintay na kapalit
Tuesday at 12:40pm ·
Laiza Cano and i think it's about time na tumulong tayo, don't delay it, kasi baka mamaya dumating ung araw na gustuhin mo man tulungan ang isang tao ay huli na ang lahat...
Tuesday at 12:42pm ·
Libby Puyal-Mace i really admire abi for being a good friend to her.hindi matatawaran ang lahat ng ginawa nya para makatulong
Tuesday at 12:44pm ·
Laiza Cano i couldn't agree more...
Tuesday at 12:46pm ·
Libby Puyal-Mace bisita na lang ulit tayo this week. ipagdasal na lang din natin na dumami pa sana ang may mabubuting loob sa mundo
Tuesday at 12:47pm ·
Laiza Cano oo, dalawin uli natin sya...sabihan mo na si abi
Tuesday at 12:48pm ·
Libby Puyal-Mace ask ko na lang when sya available. will keep you guys posted
Tuesday at 12:49pm ·
Laiza Cano hindi dapat ikahiya ang pagtulong sa kapwa...
Tuesday at 12:51pm ·
Libby Puyal-Mace pero hindi rin yun dapat ipagmalaki at gamitin para sa pansariling kapakinabangan...
Tuesday at 12:52pm · · 1 person
Laiza Cano oo nga, tama ka tol...dahil ang mamili ng tutulungan at ipagmayabang ito ay isang malaking kahunghangan at pagpapaimbabaw...
Tuesday at 12:55pm ·
Libby Puyal-Mace yup. if you reap your rewards here on earth, you'll have nothing to look forward to in heaven if you're even lucky to get there
Tuesday at 1:03pm ·
Khat Zia i do agree...hats off ako sa yo abby, you are indeed a friend...bsta inform nio lng ako kelan tyo punta...and just like laiza said, we're hoping na may iba dn na tumulong...
Tuesday at 1:05pm ·
Laiza Cano ako din, saludo ako sa ginawa ni abi sa kanyang kaibigan...dahil ang tunay na kaibigan ay dumadamay sa mga oras ng pangangailang, hindi lang dun sa mga oras ng kasiyahan
Tuesday at 1:07pm ·
Khat Zia or khit na hindi mo kaibigan, khit na kakilala mo lng, bsta ang importante ay yung mkatulong sa kapwa...
Tuesday at 1:10pm ·
Laiza Cano like i said, helping knows no biases, no prejudices...
Tuesday at 1:11pm ·
Libby Puyal-Mace meron kasi ibang tao na sa good time mo lang maaasahan
Tuesday at 1:12pm ·
Laiza Cano i know right?..well, iba iba ang tao talga...
Tuesday at 1:13pm ·
Laiza Cano ibasura na kasi natin kung anuman ang image na nabuo nung high school pa tayo, malaki na ang pinagbago ng mga to, and to define people based on their images from the past is frickin stupid...
Tuesday at 1:16pm ·
Libby Puyal-Mace well some people just can't move on, they're still stuck in the past
Tuesday at 1:18pm ·
Khat Zia they are indeed...but it shouldnt be like that...thats so effin duffy if its still like that til now...(sigh sigh sigh)...
Tuesday at 1:28pm ·
Laiza Cano salamat sa paglike jhoy...

escape

2010-07-16T07:43:00.003+08:00

parang gusto kong magwork abroad.. iiwan ko mag ama ko. kaso sabi ni wew, kapag umalis ako.. syempre uuwi sila sa kanila. naku, kawawa naman anakis ko dun.. sisiksik pa.. wla ng yung room ni wew dun eh. at least dito they can have my room. si utol kasi ang mahirap pakisamahan.. kaya ayaw nya dito.. kung di pasaway si utol siguro he'll consider staying here. hay..

ayaw nya kasing sya ang umalis.. letche!! kaya gusto ko ring umalis, para makapag-isa.. kaso mamimiss ko anakis ko. argh.. what to do?

------

nagka-clash talaga kami ni madir.. kasi nga pareho kami ng ugali.. kainis.

complete yet empty

2010-07-16T07:28:00.004+08:00

early june dumating si madir, same month katapusan si padir naman.. jam packed dito sa bahay. kaso may di magandang atmosphere, nakakainis. kung ganun din lang, since malalaki na kami, pwede ng magkanya-kanya ang gustong magkanya-kanya. ang hirap eh, ako ang tulay, bwisit.. parang mga batang nag aaway. hay, cold treatment kasi kaya.. ewan ko ba. ni hindi man lang kami nagswimming, minsan lang kami kumpleto.

kung di lang kami gipit at kung wala lang magpaparinig.. kami na sana sasagot ng swimming eh. kaso, asa pang walang magsasalita. 15 days ni padir na wala man lang kasiyahan.. panay ka-boringan. :( di na nga rin ako masyadong nagsasalita eh.. mahirap kasing mag express ng ideas kung babrahin ka rin.. kaya never mind.

nakakalungkot ang pamilya at buhay kong ito. lagi ko ngang nakikitang nag-iisa at parang nag-iisip si padir eh. :(

itong kalungkutang ito.. madadagdagan pa ng inis ko kay roel... hay, ewan ko ba.. makapag kpop fangirl na nga lang ng di yan ang iniisip ko.

isang dosena

2010-06-02T00:10:00.003+08:00

kanina pala.. isang dosena na kaming magkasama ng aking ex na ngayon eh asawa ko na..

grabe ang bilis ng panahon..

12 years na kaming naglolokohan at nagtitiis sa isa't-isa..

malayo pa ang lalakbayin namin..

at hindi madali ang papunta doon..

malubak, nakakasawa ang makikita, nakakainis ang inip, nakakapanghina ang mga frustrations..

hindi talaga madali ang may pamilya.. minsan masarap, minsan mahirap..

pero thankful ako kung anong meron ako..

i wanna merge them

"Ma'am, hindi na po ako mangangako ulit...promise!"

28. AMO: "Bakit namatay ang aso?"
MAID: "Pinaliguan ko po ng laundry soap."
AMO: "Nakamamatay ba yun?"
MAID: "Ewan ko nga po eh, pag-off ko ng washing machine patay na."

29. Yaya picking up the phone saying: " Hilo ?"
We noticed that she was holding the handset ng baligtad.
We told her, "Yaya, baliktad!"
Then Yaya said: "Lohi?"

30. Amo: Yaya use COOLING PLACE in a sentence.
Yaya: Sir! viry easy! iksample nagring yung phone,
(ring, ring, ring,) Yaya answered, " HILO , WHO'S COOLING PLACE?"

di ako makakuha ng pic habang sumasali sila sa games ang sikip ng lugar eh.. ang dami ring kumukuha sa mga anakis nila :(

December

during this month, i filed my resignation.. i just waited for my hubby's 'decision', i've already informed Mama too. i just finished my probationary period, i can't take it anymore.. the pressure in meeting the quota, nnggrr! and the pressure from madir, sa mga errands nya.. hay.

1st planner

2009-12-10T22:56:00.004+08:00

first time naming magka-planner ng Starbucks. yeah, lately lang ako naging addict sa SB. this year, may 2 (out of 3) planner na kami at mukhang gusto pang buuin ni hubby ang 3.

oppa, is back!!

2009-12-08T12:11:00.003+08:00

Welcome back, Gong Yoo!!

saranghae <3

2009-12-08T01:56:00.001+08:00

may gusto n naman akong gawin...

kapag ganito ang nararamdaman ko...

anyday, gagawin ko na ito...

baka di na ako makapaghintay...

naiipon ang errand ko dahil dito...

f***!

rant, cp,trick or treat

2009-11-04T22:18:00.004+08:00

bought this as a gift for myself..

yeah, i know i can ask this from hubby but.. nah..

***

i really don't like my work, it's sooo boring.. sooo routinary. di na ako sanay magwork, mas gusto ko na ata yung new hobby ko.. kahit hobby lang. hhmm :(

***

my Ineng wasn't able to join the Trick or Treat Party at her Dada's office, her Dada forgot to register her. but she did join (her 2nd time) the Trick or Treat Part at Tita Josie's place (it was a posh subdivision). wow, she bagged a lot of candies and it's fine with her that I didn't come accompany her, she's with her cousins. her Trick or Treat Party at school was postponed, supposedly Oct.30 but it was moved to Nov.3 because of the storm Santi (Mirinae). at first she didn't want to wear her Witch costume but as she saw her classmates, she became relaxed. most of her batchmates were wearing Fairy and Princess costumes as I expected.

i'll post the pictures soon...

followers?

2009-10-16T09:21:00.004+08:00

look, may mga nagkamaling maging followers ko sa blogs ko.. hehe.

thanks sa kanila (Yuna and Breanne).. pero idi-delete ko na sila..

wala namang kelangang i-'follow' sa blogs ko eh :p

SJ's 3rdjib

2009-10-16T09:04:00.005+08:00

about SuJu's 3rd album:

i noticed that there are more songs sang by SJ-KRY than them as a group. i tried to buy one kpop album coz it's cheaper when you buy it here (c/o Universal Records) than in YesAsia.com.

i'm so loving SJ now... i don't know, even if i can't understand what are they saying or their songs mean.

that's why 3 of 4 subbing team i joined in were SJ's.

they are a lot of E.LF. here, i just wish they'll visit the Philippines soon. ;)

samu't-sari

2009-10-14T21:38:00.007+08:00

few weeks ago, muntik na akong nagresign sa home-based job ko. bwisit na bwisit na kasi ako sa quotang hinihingi, tapos yung 'complications' ko pa dito sa bahay eh sumasabay. buti na lang at kinausap ko muna SPC namin, at ayun naliwanagan naman ako na huwag munang magresign kesho daw pinaglaban daw nila ako sa PH-SPC para ako na ang kunin. naniwala naman ako.. kasi after a week nabalitaan ko na nagresign na pala yung Coordinator ko. feeling ko ayaw lang akong payagan noon kasi nga may nauna na sa akin. hmpf!

pero ngayon nakaka-cope na ako sa work, in-adjust ko na lang ang gising ko para maasikaso ko si Ineng sa time nya. yun nga lang yung cope ko yung, eh medyo napupunta na sa boredom kasi routinary na ginagawa ko. hay. ano ba talaga ang gusto ko?!

***

last sunday, nagpasaway ako at bumili ng Portable DVD Player. wala lang, gusto ko lang at card na naman ito.

may gusto pa sana akong bilhin na cp kaso pinag-iisipan ko pa kung ito na ba talaga o ano.

***

sa subbing teams naman na sinalihan ko, eh medyo 3 dun eh semi-hiatus at 1 lang ang active pa, school days na kasi kaya daming busy.

eto nga't dapat may tinatapos ako ngayon pero nagba-blog ako.

***

sa forum naman na ginawa namin, eh medyo kulang pa sa members at karamihan di active, nag-register lang tapos di naman nagchecheck for updates. :(

nakakapagod ang may hobby palang ganito.. pero enjoy kasi napapractice ang dapat kong i-improve at marami rin akong nakikilalang tao, cyber friends.

***

bakit kaya sila naa-addict sa facebook? hhmm, ba't ako na computer addict eh di pa mahikayat nun? *puzzled*

***

naumpisahan ko ng basahin ang "The Lost Symbol," pero di ko naman matandaan kung ano yung 1st 2 chapters na nabasa ko. pasaway! hehe.

***

kainis na itong taong ito... kung makahingi ng pera akala mo gripo ka, na basta na lang hihingan. nakakaawa pa dyan yung taong nagbebeybi sa kanya. ito ang tunay na pasaway!

***

grabe di na ako masyadong nakakapag-blog, panay forum na lang pinupuntahan ko. blog nga ng iba di ko na rin masilip eh. yung nililipat ko pang blog from geocities to wordpress eh di pa tapos magsasara na sa Oct.20 (ata) yun. :(

dami sana akong iba-blog kaso minsan tinatamad ako at kung may time na nalilimutan ko na kung ano yung gusto kong ilagay.

itong blog ko gusto kong ayusin kaso.. kelangan ko ng at least 2 days na wala akong ibang gagawin kundi magcomputer.

***

minsan parang gustong kong mag-overnight somewhere ng mag-isa. computer at chicha lang meron ako, siguro ang dami ko ng magagawa nun. problema lang internet connection, kung magSmartBro ka lang, mabagal yun lalo na kung nagda-download at upload ka while browsing the net.

***

speaking of SmartBro, i bought one.. kasi kapag monday, nag-oonline pa rin ako kapag nasa therapy center kami ni Ineng. mas madaling bitbitin kesa sa cellphone ka naka-connect. USB lang deretso na.. eh sa cp, usb w/ wire at cp ang hawak mo. nalaglag na nga cp ko eh nung naka-connect minsan, akala ko sira na, ayaw mag-on.

quit?

2009-09-28T17:56:00.001+08:00

may query na po akong natanggal re: sa work ko.. huhu. :(

nag-iisip na akong magresign..

pressured ako sa work at sa duties ko dito sa bahay.. hay

kausapin ko kaya muna si Kristi..

book, work, etc.

2009-09-23T13:37:00.006+08:00

last September 15, nakuha na ni hubby yung pina-reserve kong Robert Langdon series na "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown and until now di ko pa nauumpisahang basahin yun. huhu.

**

last September 19, pumunta kami sa Book Fair sa SMX-MOA, may passes kasing binigay si dabarkads Patit. napabili tuloy kami ng set ng "A Child's First Library of Learning." Educational at cool yung way ng learning using this book. May free Big Block World Atlas at Encyclopedia Britannica 2009 DVD. napagastos tuloy kami, pero I know worth it naman yun.

**

about sa fan subbing team, at last kasali na ako sa matagal ko ng inaplayang SJSubs and now sangkatutak naman ang project ko dun, pero okay rin. sa SSS, mukhang hiatus ang karamihan coz of school, sa M.13 naman medyo di ganun karami ang projects, kasi more on SJM sila. tapos, nalimutan ko nga pala na member din ako ng SJMP, gosh, ngayon naman ang dami kong FS team. tapos we're planning pa to form one for this underrated kpop group we're supporting.

**

i'm working na nga pala, home-based muna sya for the mean time. Support Editor ang lola nyo, title lang yan. hehe. grabe ang quota sa pag-e-edit, hay, Australia-New Zealand(AUSNZ) pa account na napuntahan ko. mga English speaking countries, katatamad naman mag-compose ng sentence.

**

bisi-bisihan ako kahit nasa bahay lang. work, daughter and subbing ang ginagawa ko everyday, minsan may errand pa or pagg-grocery, hay. marami rin naman akong natutunan sa pagsali sa FS team, encoding, editing, cut, merge, converting, etc.

Robert Langdon series

2009-09-10T23:01:00.004+08:00

i'm excited for this new Robert Langdon series from Dan Brown, The Lost Symbol.

sayang, nasa SM Muntinlupa kami kanina bumili ng bday gift para sa classmate ni Ineng, sana pala nagpa-reserve na ako sa National Bookstore dun, sa Sept. 15 na pala release nito. kung hindi, sa NBS-Festival na naman ako makakapagpa-reserve kapag umalis ako sa Saturday. i need time for myself!

kapagod!

2009-09-10T22:50:00.002+08:00

last week, nagstart yung work kong home-based job. okay naman, medyo masakit lang sa ulo (kakaisip ?) at puwet (kakaupo).

parang mas mahirap ang home-based job lalo na siguro kung may quota kang hinahabol. imagine, nag-iisip ka sa work mo tapos, iniisip mo rin sa bahay kung anong ulam, kung maliligo na ba anak mo o kung may kelangang bayarang bills dahil due na. siguro, nanibago lang ako kasi almost 4 years akong natengga sa work. tapos syempre, nasanay ako sa routine ko dito sa bahay tapos biglang mababago na naman. sakit sa ulo! tapos may hobby pa ako, enjoy ako sa hobby ko ngayon eh, hehehe, daming nakikilalang (cyber) people.

tapos, yung mga kasama mo pa sa bahay, kung di cooperative, mega daldal at papansin. 2 nga ang kasama mo sa bahay, kaso yung 1 medyo bastos, yung 1 naman eh nakakahiyang hingan ng pabor kasi sya na ang puyat sa gabi. hay, what will i do?

pa'no yan kapag nagka-office na yung work ko, baka pabayaan nila anak ko. ito naman kasing utol ko, instead na sya ang nagbabantay sa 2 kasama, sya pa ang isa pang binabantayan ko. huhuhu.

hay. sakit sa ulo!

3k views!

2009-09-06T22:50:00.005+08:00

i can't imagine, my 2nd subbed vid got a 3000+ views. it has an incomplete lyrics but still they it got viewed. gosh, daming naligaw. lol.

thanks to those 3k viewers! :D

lipat-blog

2009-08-31T10:43:00.002+08:00

isasara na ng geocities sa October ang free web hosting nila, magiging with pay na lang ang web hosting nila. kaya yung 'blog' ko dun eh nilipat ko sa wordpress, pinag-aaralan ko pa pa'no gamitin yun.. medyo iba sya dito sa blogger. di naman ganun karami yung laman ng geocities ko, since nagba-blog naman ako ng kung anik-anik, eh di ilipat ko na sya kasama ng iba. ime-merge ko na rin siguro ang blogs ko, para less ang maintenance, maybe my main blog is still this one, tapos yung pang 'shallow' and excerpt entries ko eh dun sa wordpress.

balitaan ko na lang kayo.. (as if my viewers ito, lol)

**

gosh, umpisa na ang BER-months tomorrow.. bilis ng panahon, 2010 is fast approaching :(

hilaw

2009-08-26T15:24:00.004+08:00

may niluluto ako pero mukhang pagsalang pa lang mali na.. mahihilaw na ata.

when my daughter is sick, in these times, i start to have second thoughts.. :(

may ID na si Ineng ko sa school, ang cute nga eh -

nonsense?

2009-08-17T17:57:00.008+08:00

update tungkol sa akin? marami, pero mga mababaw lang.

nakabalik na si "general" sa base nya. last thursday and sunday natin nakapag-video chat na kami gamit ang skype. gamit namin ang hand-me-down laptop nya kapag nagvi-video chat kami kasi yung desktop namin may problem ata sa audio.. di gumagana ang mic dun.

* * *

tungkol naman sa subbing, 2 na ang fan subbing group na nasalihan ko, yung isa (Superstarsubbing) di ba focus sa kpop group na SS501. itong pangalawa, Miracle 13oys FS (M13), focus naman sa Super Junior sub-group na Super Junior-M (SJM). they don't upload their work on live streams like youtube, etc., direct download sila. 2 palang naging 'work' ko dun... yung released pa lang eh yung Kyochon Chicken CF ng SJM.

tungkol pa rin sa subbing, kaming mga sumusuporta sa T-Max ay nagbabalak gumawa ng fan subbing team. kasi itong underrated group na ito eh wala man lang mga subbed vid nila.

T-Maxlove Project

bago pa man 'sumikat' ang Wonder Girls, dahil sa kanta nilang "Nobody", dito sa Pinas eh naa-appreciate ko na ang kpop.

by the way, here are my latest subbed vid:

7 Years of Love
Cho Kyuhyun of Super Junior

Talk To Me
U-Kiss

di ko man maintindihan ang mga kanta nila... pero nagustuhan ko, ewan ko.

* * *

ano bang nakukuha ko sa pagfa-fan subbing? wala naman, cyber friends, pastime ko, natututo ako ng iba pang computer application, nakakapag-convert, split, join at sub ng vids. mababaw kung sa mababaw at least hindi ako nakakagambala ng ibang tao.

* * *

bumili na rin pala ako ng 1TB Western Digital My Book kasi itong laptop ni madir eh 40GB lang ang HD. pwede na akong magdownload ng mga movie vids and tv series. ;) bumili na rin ako ng laptop cooler, AMD kaya ito, ang bilis uminit.

* * *

tungkol pala sa Harry Potter PSP game, di ba ang 'review' ko dun eh BORING. so yun, di ko na tinapos yung game at deleted na yung sya sa PSP ko. sorry.

2009-08-15T09:46:00.002+08:00

HAPPY, HAPPY
4th
BIRTHDAY,
dear FRANCES!

We Love You!

july 16, i joined this subbing team (SuperStarSubbing) and luckily, i got signed up in 2 projects (3 videos).

today, i got my first encoding job.. it's a 1 minute+ video. the interview is chopped into 12 cuts that's why.

i'm now waiting for the rest.

also sent my applications to some Super Junior's and U-Kiss' subbing team.

sorry i can't upload these at youtube due to copyright issue.

Sabado nights

2009-07-22T14:07:00.001+08:00

last saturday, pumunta kami sa house blessing nila Chel.. dumating madir, padir at lil bro nya, hindi na sumama si rod kasi nagbakasyon na sya dito last feb, para matapos na ang ayos ng bahay nila. hindi ako nakilala ng mommy ni Chel, hehehe, at nang kukuha na kami ng food, nagulat naman ako ng kausapin ako ng daddy nya. my gulay, ano bang sitwasyon iyon! kamukha ni Rod si Reinald kaso may marami ang buhok nya at mas matangkad.

tapos mga 730pm umalis na kami para manood ng Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince sa Alabang Town Center. grabe, pagdating namin doon ang daming tao.. as usual basta HP movie sangkatutak ang tao. buti na lang si Patit eh may Ayala-something card pwedeng bumili ng tickets through internet kaya may sched na kami agad. di na nakasama si ryan, may alibi. sablay pa upuan namin, kasi nung nagpareserve sila online ang line E eh second from the top, but opposite pala sa sinehan, ang line E second from the front. shish, ang lapit namin sa screen, nakakaduling, pero okay lang. ano pa nga ba?

Spoiler:
umpisa pa lang ng movie iba na, hindi sya sa Dursley sinundo ni Dumbledore. siniksik na lang nila sa 2hrs+ ang story.

another precious moments

2009-07-21T15:46:00.001+08:00

hay, sarap ng 1hr quiet time ko! nasa school si Ineng, nasa Divi sila utol at madir, nasa office si hubby, nagpunta ng pacita yung dalawang katulong kasama si macoy.. me, alone dito sa bahay.

-posted through psp and wifi

sarap!

2009-07-19T17:38:00.000+08:00

ganito ang mga moments na gusto ko... wala si Ineng, hubby at madir ko..

tapos nasa harap lang ako ng laptop nagba-blog at nagba-browse..

sana ganito palagi.. hehehe

walang makulit, walang nanggugulo.. SARAP!

HP6 game

2009-07-14T16:41:00.003+08:00

my 'review' on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince PSP game:

BORING! :(

though it's from the same company (Electronic Arts), this game is not as exciting as the other HP-PSP games i played.

mic test?

2009-07-12T12:22:00.000+08:00

this text is posted using our WiFi and my PSP!

lugi ba kami?

2009-07-12T09:05:00.007+08:00

Friday last week, pina-ayos namin ang aming printer sa Abenson-Aserco Alabang hindi kasi nagpi-print kahit bago yung mga ink. Printer head daw ang problem which costs 1500+, pina-'go' na namin kahit alam naming aabutin kami ng 2k+. ang all-in-one printer ngayon eh may tig-4k+ to 5k+... nakatipid pa ba kami sa pagpapaayos na iyon? bihira naman naming gamitin ang printer, as in super bihira at may hiwalay naman kaming scanner.

last Wednesday tapos na sya, Friday lang ulit namin nakuha, yun kasi ang rest day ni Dada Ewel eh. gustuhin ko mang ibenta ang printer at scanner eh mukhang pang-donate na lang sila. kaya okay muna kami sa kanila.. kasi nga bihira namang gamitin. ;)

sub encoder

2009-07-11T22:26:00.008+08:00

for the past few days, i've been sending my application for subtitle encoder in any of the subbing teams i see in youtube. but they we're asking for work experience as a sub encoder, of course, no experience yet coz they won't give me a chance to be in their subbing team? :(

my portfolio(?):

Blooming - T-Max *

Fight the Bad Feeling - T-Max *

though this one's partially finished.. still i posted it

* with proper credits

HP6 fever

2009-07-09T10:19:00.005+08:00

in time for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie..

i'm now playing Harry Potter 6 on my PSP.. :D

next week saturday, together with our dabarkads, we will watch the 6th sequel of HP. we've been watching HP together with our dabarkads since HP3 or 4.

into Kpop

2009-07-07T16:16:00.006+08:00

obvious ba na walang magawa. imagine, na-appreciate ko na ang Kpop, there's T-Max, U-Kiss, SS501 and Super Junior, i even have favorite/s (member) from each group. yeah, they're all my dongsaengs (younger than me) but i really like the way they dance and their 'styles'. mababaw na kung sa mababaw.. walang pakialamanan ng trip! :p

lonely

2009-07-03T14:35:00.008+08:00

july has come... there's nothing interesting about me, as usual. i'm just always at home, sending and waiting for my daughter to-from school.

ah, been 'busy' surfing the net using mama's old laptop, in the convenience of our room. ;) yeah, we bought PCMCIA card (WLan card), router
and additional memory card for the laptop. mama bought this last 2005, it's her very first laptop. but still i can't do (and save) much with it, 40 GB HD only.

watch mode

2009-06-16T15:29:00.005+08:00

yeah, i know this is late.. i'm starting to like True Blood and Leverage, downloaded in from Mininova... can't watch it on TV coz of some circumstances. :)

school days :)

2009-06-14T16:54:00.004+08:00

start na ang di maiwasang gastos... may school girl na kami - si Franching ko!! :)

how time flies... here now, her picture wearing her school uniform.. *sigh*

sigh

2009-06-04T11:21:00.002+08:00

i think i overslept.. i'm grumpy today...

as much as i can, i'm trying to control my grumpiness... poor Ineng..

next week

2009-06-03T11:47:00.004+08:00

- start na ng martial law dito sa bahay kasi dadating si 'general'..

- start na classes ni Ineng ko..

uy, nag-date sila..

2009-05-16T18:39:00.004+08:00

kahapon, nanood kami ni Roel ng Angels and Demons sa Festival Mall. na-miss nga namin si Ineng eh kasi iniwan namin sya. habang nanonood kami eh tinext kami ni utol na ayaw daw kumain ni Ineng.. ayan nag-alala tuloy ako. di na kasi sanay na naiiwan si Ineng, maiwan man either si Roel o madalas ako ang kasamang maiwan sa bahay o madalas kaming magkasamang umaalis.

as usual, mas okay pa ring basahin ang book.. pero okay yung movie, syempre may mga binago, at tinanggal.

walang bago..

2009-05-05T17:33:00.004+08:00

tinatamad akong magblog lately... kasi wala akong mailagay... walang happenings... walang bago... bisi-busy-han lang ako dito sa harap ng computer

ito about school ni Ineng..

food, yummy!

may nag-birthday na classmate nya sa school

star =)

may mga paintings din siya, tinatamad lang akong kunan yun..

pic from ditse's cp

last May 1 pala, nagsession dito ang mga agents ni Roel.. tapos nung May 2 naman pa-birthday ni ninong Coco sa tropa, session at kain as usual. di natuloy yung barkada annual swimming namin, di rin kasi napag-uusapan ng maayos eh.

kanina, before 1pm nasa bangko na ako, ang haba ng queuing.. imagine #96 palang eh #149 ako. by 2:30pm #126 palang... grabe talaga ang gobyerno, uber bagal! pathetic! kabwiset! ggrrr! past 3pm na ako nakaalis dun eh may pupuntahan pa akong dalawa pang bangko... buti na lang 4:30pm ang closing nung isa kaya umabot pa ako. mission accomplished din ako kahit paano.

tapos, meron dung nanay na katabi ko, #150+ sya.. lumipat sya ng upuan eh.. tapos nung makatabi ko ulit, aba #120+ na sya! naki-usap ata sa guard na palitan number nya. unfair kasi yun sa mga tulad kong nagtyagang naghintay! hmpf!

matanda na ako.. big girl na sya eh

Hot Shot [T-drama]

nung mar30, nagsimula na sa Abscbn ang Hot Shot pero pinapanood ko na sya sa internet. nakakatuwa si Show/Alan Lo, ang cute magpatawa (for me ha, kasi nga mababaw lang naman ko). ang gwapo ni Wu Chun kaso bihira lumabas =(. si Jerry Yan naman eh guwapo pa rin pero halatang nagkaka-edad na at as usual mayaman na naman ang role nya na bagay-bagay sa kanya.

it's about basketball, love, life, techniques and stunts.

cute nitong Winning Dance nila.. Superman by Nese.. parang Crank That (Soulja Boy)

ang napansin ko lang eh medyo brutal yung laban against can/ah fu.. parang walang technical foul na tinatawag yung referee, para rin sana di ba makatotohanan sana. pwede bang gamitin ang street basketball kapag student athlete ka?

sa episode 13 or 14 na lumabas si Wu Chun.. sumali si Wu Chun sa Pi Li College basketball team..

The Myth of the Stay-at-Home Mom

2009-04-01T10:50:00.001+08:00

Being a "stay-at-home mom" is by no means related to the term "non-working," in any way, shape, or form! In fact, mothers who choose to stay home have one of the most demanding and important jobs in today's society. This is a career that requires seven, on-call 24 hour shifts, each and every week, 52 weeks a year.

The world's stereotypical image of the "stay-at-home mom" is a woman sitting on her sofa, eating bonbons and watching soap operas all day. The real truth is that the job of raising children never ends. It's not a job where you get to leave work at the office, or clock out after an 8-hour shift. There are always things needing attention, such as: meals that need preparing or cleaning up from, mountains of laundry to wash, dry, and put away, a home that needs constant cleaning, doctor visits, soccer practice, and grocery shopping - just to name a few.

Full-time mothers get the first call when volunteers are needed for any school function, field-trip or fundraiser. If you choose to be a full-time mom, you probably won't be home very much. You will find yourself organizing trips, running bake-sales and driving children whose parents are stuck at work to museums. You put in all the work of "working parents" without the paychecks or the breaks.

The rewards of participating in, and the impact on your children's learning, development, and values is priceless. Raising children as a full-time mom is a career that requires a multitude of skills, including patience, wisdom, and thinking quickly on your feet. All are key elements of successful parenting. Another "perk" to staying at home to raise your children is that your parenting guilt level is greatly reduced. You'll never have to question the quality of your child's care, or if you are spending enough "quality" time with them.

Do you get sick days or vacation time? For most full-time, those benefits are not an option, unless you physically cannot get out of bed or are fortunate enough to have hired help or help from a loving spouse, relative, or close friend. Your work needs to be accomplished so the household doesn't fall apart. Even when you're sick, it's business as usual.

If you are or are considering being a full-time mom, give yourself a pat on the back and a whole lot of credit. When you calculate just how much it would cost your family to hire someone to do all that, you do, you realize just how valuable choosing to be a stay-at-home mom can be to your family!

bakit kaya tuwing dumarating ang araw na iyon, eh napapaisip ka kung ano na ang nangyari sa buhay mo?

parating na naman sa akin ang araw na iyon.. ia-assess ko na naman ang buhay ko.. at iisa lang ang resulta.. a very depressing result. kung titignan ko talaga marami akong gustong balikan na desisyon na sana ito na lang ang ginawa ko kesa ito.. kaya heto ako ngayon.. parang may kulang. sana naging mas matapang na lang ako noon para hindi ako ganito ngayon. hindi ko alam kung dapat ko bang sisihin ang sarili ko o yung tao na dapat eh sumusuporta sa aking mga magiging desisyon (sana noong panahong iyon) o yung tao na nagpabaya sa amin. pero syempre sarili ko ang number one na may kasalan dyan.. secondary na lang sila. =(

umabot ako sa edad na ito na walang nangyari sa buhay ko. boring sya ever since. minsan nga naiisip ko na hindi ata bagay sa akin ang may ka-relasyon o sa case ko ngayon ang may pamilya. nakaka-awa lang kasi sila, nadadamay (lalo na anak ko). =(

oh di ba instead of ranting sana.. nag-iisip na lang sana ako ng ways on how to avoid these thoughts o ang mag-isip ng paraang makakapagpasaya sa akin o ang maging kontento na at magpasalamat sa Kanya sa kung anong meron ako. wala naman akong malaking bagay na hinihiling.. meron lang sanang mga desisyon na kahit paano eh makakapagpa-iba ng resulta ngayon. kontento kung sa kontento pero yung masasabi kong achievement ko.. wala. maybe it is too early to say.. or too late na. yah, may panahon pa.. pero resources wala. =(

i still feel immature for my age... eeww, nakakahiya. =(
maybe there are reasons behind it. kumabaga sa tubig - stagnant ako, binabahayan na ng kitikite.. magdudulot pa ng sakit sa kawawang biktima.

=(

hayaan nyo na akong mag-emote..

tension

2009-03-21T09:49:00.003+08:00

last thursday, nagkaroon na naman ng tension dito sa bahay.. ang nag-away naman eh si utol at yung kasama namin dito. hay, ganito na lang ba dito sa bahay? minsan kasi itong si utol eh sablay din eh.. ito namang isa eh kapag inis talaga eh talagang ipaparamdam at ipapakita nya syo. yung 2 kasama namin dito ni hindi nga nila kinakausap si utol eh.. ako pa ang bridge nila kung may ipasasabi sila. oh di ba parang mga ewan. hay.

Twilight mom

2009-03-21T08:16:00.005+08:00

kahapon, nakuha ko na ang kopya ko ng Twilight 2 disc special edition =)

syempre matapos makapaghapunan, pinanood ko na ito... hindi nga lang tuluy-tuloy kasi syempre sinisilip-silip ko si Ineng ko.

ok naman yung laman ng disc 2... mga deleted, extended and some behind-the-scenes ang pinakita dun. you can also see that Rob really played Bella's Lullaby.. he studied it and played it.. he knows how to play the piano naman eh.. kaya it's a good thing and a plus pogi points for me. i really like guys who can play piano/keyboard and/or guitar. =)

mababaw na kung sa mababaw.. kanya-kanyang trip lang yan sa buhay. =p

au pair

2009-03-15T22:50:00.005+08:00

last week pa ito nangyari, gusto ko lang ilabas ang inis ko..

may station of the cross sa phase namin.. at kami ang 7th station. sabi kasi sa envelope na iniwan na 7:45pm mag-uumpisa yung procession. habang nagpapahain ako ng hapunan ng 7:15pm eh inaayos na namin yung mesa sa labas. nung tinawag na ako para kumain, sabi ko sa isang kasama namin dito sa bahay na magbantay muna, ang sagot ba naman eh, "eh ate maliligo pa ako!" sinagot ko tuloy sya ng "aba, mukhang kelangang makiusap pa ako ah!" sa inis ko, pinakain ko yung anak ko ng mabilisan, kumuha ako ng pagkain ko at sa veranda na ako kumain. bwisit na bwisit ako! tinatawag ako ng asawa ko para kumain sa lamesa sa loob, sabi ko "wag na dito na ako, baka kasi hindi makaligo yung maliligo pa dyan!" grabe! ang 'nipis' talaga!

may napansin nga akong pinagbago ng kasama naming yan magmula nung nakasama nya yung yaya ng pamangkin ko... lagi pa silang magkabuntot! kapag inutusan yung isa, gustong sumama nung isa. hay naku, kainis! yung yaya kasi ng pamangkin ko dati ng 'maloko' yun... itong kasama namin eh dati namang hindi ganyan... marunong ng sumagot ang loka!

parang nakakahiya tuloy utusan yung kasama naming yun.. basta parang nag-iba na sya.. nagkasungay na! nahihiya tuloy ako minsan iwan yung anak ko sa kanila lalo na sa kanya.

uuwi na yung yaya ng pamangkin ko at magbabakasyon naman sya.. magpapahanap nga ako ng bagong yaya.. pero this time bibigyan ko na sila ng 'instructions'.

bakit kaya ganun na ngayon ang mga kasama sa bahay... mas ikaw na ang nakikisama hindi na sila. parang ako pa ang nahihiya.. instead na sila.

ang gulo..

2009-03-08T22:14:00.003+08:00

napansin ko kanina habang binabasa ko ulit yung blog ko na ang gulo pala ng pagkakalagay ko... parang wala sa tamang araw at sequencing...

wala lang siguro ako sa mood magblog... pinipilit ko lang may mailagay kaya siguro ganun... walang buhay ang dating tuloy (as if naman may life ang pagiging bum)

please bear with me na lang... i'm not a writer..

Ang katotohanan sa likod ng OFW

2009-03-07T19:46:00.001+08:00

Hindi mayaman ang OFW - We have this notion na ‘pag OFW o nasa abroad ay mayaman na. Hindi totoo yun. A regular OFW might earn from P50K-P300K per month depende sa lokasyon. Yung mga taga-Saudi or US siguro ay mas malaki ang sweldo, but to say that they're rich is a fallacy (amen!).

Malaki ang pangangailangan kaya karamihan ay nag-a-abroad. Maraming bunganga ang kailangang pakainin kaya umaalis ang mga pipol sa Philippines . Madalas, 3/4 o kalahati ng sweldo ay napupunta sa tuition ng anak at gastusin ng pamilya.

Mahirap maging OFW – Kailangan magtipid hangga't kaya. Oo, masarap ang pagkain sa abroad pero madalas na paksiw o adobo at itlog lang tinitira para makaipon. Pagdating ng kinsenas o katapusan, ang unang tinitingnan eh ang conversion ng peso sa dollar o rial o euro. Mas okay na magtiis sa konti kaysa gutumin ang pamilya. Kapag umuuwi, kailangan may baon kahit konti kasi maraming kamag-anak ang sumusundo sa airport o naghihintay sa probinsya. Alam mo naman ‘pag Pinoy, yung tsismis na OFW ka eh surely attracts a lot of kin.

Kapag hindi mo nabigyan ng pasalubong eh magtatampo na yun at sisiraan ka na. Well, hindi naman lahat pero I'm sure sa mga OFW dito eh may mga pangyayaring ganun. Magtatrabaho ka sa bansang iba ang tingin sa mga Pinoy. Malamang marami ang naka-experience ng gulang o discrimination to their various workplaces. Sige lang, tiis lang, iniiyak na lang kasi kawawa naman pamilya 'pag umuwi.

Besides, wala ka naman talagang maasahang trabaho sa Philippines ngayon. Mahal ang bigas, ang gatas, ang sardinas, ang upa sa apartment. Tiis lang kahit maraming kupal sa trabaho, kahit may sakit at walang nag-aalaga, kahit hindi masarap ang tsibog, kahit pangit ang working conditions, kahit delikado, kahit mahirap. Kapag nakapadala ka na, okay na, tawag lang, "hello! kumusta na kayo?".

Hindi bato ang OFW - Tao rin ang OFW, hindi money o cash machine. Napapagod rin, nalulungkot (madalas), nagkakasakit, nag-iisip at nagugutom. Kailangan din ang suporta, kundi man physically, emotionally o spiritually man lang.

Tumatanda rin ang OFW - Sa mga nakausap at nakita ko, marami ang panot at kalbo na. Most of them have signs and symptoms of hypertension, coronary artery disease and arthritis. Yet, they continue to work thinking about the family they left behind. Marami ang nasa abroad, 20-30 years na, pero wala pa ring ipon. Kahit anong pakahirap, sablay pa rin. Masakit pa kung olats rin ang sinusuportahang pamilya – ang anak adik o nabuntis; ang asawa may kabit. Naalala ko tuloy ang sikat na kanta dati, “NAPAKASAKIT KUYA EDDIE!"

Bayani ang OFW – Totoo yun! Ngayon ko lang na na-realize na bayani ang OFW sa maraming bagay. Hindi bayani na tulad ni Nora Aunor o Flor Contemplacion. Bayani in the truest sense of the word. Hindi katulad ni Rizal o Bonifacio. Mas higit pa dun, mas maraming giyera at gulo ang pinapasok ng OFW para lang mabuhay. Mas maraming pulitika ang kailangang suungin para lang tumagal sa trabaho lalo na't kupal ang mga kasama sa trabaho. Mas mahaba ang pasensya kaysa sa mga ordinaryong kongresista o senador sa Philippines dahil sa takot na mawalan ng sweldo.

Matindi ang OFW – Matindi ang pinoy. Matindi pa sa daga, o cockroaches which survived the cataclysmic evolution. Maraming sakripisyo pero walang makitang tangible solutions or consequences.

Malas ng OFW, swerte ng pulitiko – Hindi umuupo ang OFW para magbigay ng autograph o interbyuhin ng media (unless nakidnap!). Madalas nasa sidelines lang ang OFW. Kapag umaalis, malungkot and on the verge of tears. Kapag dumadating, swerte ‘pag may sundo( madalas meron). Kapag naubos na ang ipon, wala ng kamag-anak.

Sana sikat ang OFW para may boses sa Kamara. Ang swerte ng mga politiko nakaupo sila at ginagastusan ng pera ng Filipino. Hindi nga sila naiinitan o napapaso ng langis, o napagagalitan ng amo, o kumakain ng paksiw para makatipid, o nakatira sa compound with conditions less than favorable, o nakikisama sa ibang lahi para mabuhay. Ang swerte, sobrang swerte nila!

Matatag ang OFW – Matatag ang OFW, mas matatag pa sa sundalo o kung ano pang grupo na alam nyo. Magaling sa reverse psychology, negotiations at counter-attacks. Tatagal ba ang OFW? Tatagal pa kasi hindi pa natin alam kailan magbabago ang Philippines, kailan nga kaya? o may tsansa pa ba?

Masarap isipin na kasama mo ang pamilya mo araw-araw. Nakikita mo mga anak mong lumalaki at naaalagaan ng maayos. Masarap kumain ng sitaw, ng bagoong, lechon, inihaw na isda, taba ng talangka. Masarap manood ng pelikulang Pinoy, luma man o bago. Iba pa rin ang pakiramdam kung kilala mo ang kapitbahay mo. Iba pa rin sa Philippines, iba pa rin kapag Pinoy ang kasama mo (except ‘pag kupal at utak-talangka) , iba pa rin ‘pag nagkukwento ka at naiintindihan ng iba ang sinasabi mo. Iba pa rin ang tunog ng "mahal kita!", "day, ginahigugma tika." “Mingaw na ko nimo ba, kalagot!", " Inday, diin ka na subong haw? ganahan guid ko simo ba". Iba pa rin talaga.

Sige lang, tiis lang, saan ba’t darating din ang pag-asa.

Help! I'm addicted to Facebook!

2009-02-16T09:56:00.001+08:00

Pretty much everyone I know has a Facebook account. I use it for emailing, messaging, sharing pictures, and more. That sounds pretty reasonable, right? Well, Facebook has a way of creeping from something useful into a major contributor to carpal tunnel, burning eyes, procrastination, and mindless clicking.

Haven't seen people you went to high school with in ten years or more? With Facebook it's no problem. Since you can view everyone's friend list as soon as you connect with one person, the floodgates open, and you're back in your hometown, for better or worse.

Want to see what people are up to but have no interest in really talking to them? No problem with Facebook. If someone has an open profile you can click around on their page like you are their BFF, seeing all their pictures, friends' comments, and status updates. You can locate exactly where someone is and how they're feeling today in 3 minutes or less.

Got something to promote? It's no problem with Facebook. Set your favorite site as your status, create a link to your project and your friends will surely check it out. Got a new business? Create a Facebook group and your friends can join and keep in contact with all the updates of your company.

Ok, obviously I am a Facebook user. I enjoy seeing a picture of my friend when I send them a message. I am a fan of the status update. I even like notifications and am only mildly concerned when I am friend-requested by a total stranger. I enjoy clicking through pictures of my long lost friends' houses in the suburbs and seeing their kids covered in spaghetti. It's sort of exotic to a country girl transplant like me.

So here is the problem, well, my problem. And I am assuming I'm not alone on this one. I'm on Facebook all the time! I go to the site not even conscious that I am going to it. I turned on my computer this morning with the intention of opening Word first thing, and where did I find myself? You guessed it. Facebook. I am addicted! Admitting is the first step to recovery (bankers take note). Sign me up for Facebook rehab.

Pope Benedict XVI has warned us about getting in a pickle with Facebook. Now I'm not one to go around quoting any kind of Church, especially if you knew the extent of my Catholic grade school story, but this was sort of interesting. The Associated Press brought us his thoughts about how Facebook (and MySpace, a whole other topic mostly about kids and bands) can foster friendships and understanding, but warns that they also can isolate people and marginalize others. Benedict welcomes as a "gift" new technologies such as social networking sites, saying they respond to the "fundamental desire" of people to communicate. But he warns that "obsessive" virtual socializing can isolate people from real interaction and deepen the digital divide by excluding those already on the sidelines. He urges producers to ensure that the content respects human dignity, and of course the "goodness and intimacy of human sexuality."

What about burning eyes, carpal tunnel, hunched shoulders, stiff hips, and monkey mind? Those issues are more interesting to me as a health, yoga, and psychology geek.

I would friend-request the Pope. What would his status updates be? "Slipping into Prada loafers getting ready for mass."

So here I am, busted by the Pope! On one hand, he's got a point. Cyber-bullying is not a joke. The horrific suicide of 13-year-old Megan Meier from Missouri in October of 2006 was the direct result of her former friend's mom taunting her through MySpace. Being a teenager is hard enough. I can't even imagine what kids go through now. There are so many new ways to torture each other. I know a few teens in NY that have problems with teasing each on Facebook too. It's a mess.

I'm sure adults have had problems with taunting and other social blunders on Facebook too, but the majority of problems adults face is just plain over-use. Let me reference my "25 random things." If you're a Facebook user, you are well aware of the "25 random things" that have been going around in the last few months. Maybe you've written yours. Or, maybe you think you won't get pulled in. Good luck.

I should be writing at this moment. July 1st deadline will be here soon. FB is one big distraction really, but I do firmly believe in its usefulness. And its ability to deliver BlockBuster-esque horror, comedic, and dramatic episodes in the disconnected yet intimate way only the modern web experience can.

Correct me if I am alone on this one, but the reality of our lives displayed on Facebook splattered with debauchery is a big part of the fun!

I've come up with some warning signs here. This may be the start of developing a support group for Facebook addicts. The group will be listed on Facebook, where you can become a fan of the group, add pictures, look at pictures of other cute people who are in the group, and write on the wall.

10 warning signs that you may be addicted to Facebook

1. Facebook is your home page.

2. You update your status more than twice a day.

3. You have over 500 "friends" half of whom you've never actually met.

4. As soon as you step away from your computer you're on FB on your phone.

5. You are a FB stalker. You qualify as a FB stalker if you

a) click on someone's profile more than once a day even if they haven't messaged or tagged you in a photo.

b) have dragged and dropped more than 3 FB photos (not from your own profile)

c) actually go to a place mentioned on someone's page in hopes of seeing them in real life...creepy!

6. You change your profile picture more than a 12-year=old girl.

7. You have checked your FB page while reading this article.

8. You clean up your "wall" so it looks like you spend less time on FB.

9. You are a member of more than 10 groups and respond to every event invitation "attending" even if you have no intention of going.

10. You change your relationship status just to mess with people.

last 2 weeks ago, they invited my daughter to be one of the easter angels this coming lenten season... unfortunately, it was a fund-raising project for our church.

last sunday, they were presented.. and they (roel's side) think it'll be a very tight 'competition'. it is a pressure for us coz my Ineng's cousins, ate Ion and ate Sam, were winners then.. so not to spoil their enthusiasm and 'tradition'.. i think it will be a serious matter. but of course, who's parents who doesn't want their child to win? but here, money is involve.. crisis pa naman.

hay.. good luck..
