this is the fun part. here are the pictures on the actual party. i hope that you'll enjoy it as i've enjoyed the party!

our team's theme is like a black wedding. the entourage is complete. we even have someone to act like a priest!

in this picture, the priest is like waiting for the whole entourage.

the bride is so excited with the wedding that will happen...

still waiting for the groom to arrive, the bride is still waiting with anticipation...

while waiting for the groom, the bride let herself mingle with the entourage and posed for some pictures.

here are the members of the entourage.

Jopay.

John.

Ron.

and of course, yours truly.

also at the wedding were the hippies.

Dessa, Aika and Dexter.

again, with more hippies.

Myra, Nigel, Maridel and Dexter.

I got so into Maridel's outfit that i took a picture of her.

another set of attendies were the trainers.

(don't ask me about their outfits. i don't want to make a comment!)

after the long wait, the groom didn't arrive. so the priest just gave her a blessing that she would still be seeing the man of her dreams...

Since it's the last week of October, kids are anticipating on attending some parties related to All Saint's day: Holloween!

if my memory serves me correctly, hindi pa ako nakakaattend ng talagang Holloween party. siguro, yung mga matawag lang na Holloween party pero not as in yung ikaw ung magdedecorate.

my dream came true today as West Contact Services is celebrating Holloween.

two days before the party, my supervisor pulled me out of the shift to do early out for us to buy something for the celebration. at ang ganda ng pinuntahan namin. Divisoria. although makulimlim, i didn't rain and that is really good since we came from shift and we got so tired. mamatay nalang kami ganun ang mangyayari.

here are some photos after namin mamili...


ako at ang supervisor ko. haggard sa bus.



















kami ulet.





















mas haggard kami dito pero gusto lang kasi nya na ma-emphasize yung headband nyang binili na may bonggang-bonggang rose.















yesterday naman, we decorated the stations. we spent 5 hours just to decorate the floor and to make it beautiful. naloka pa kami kasi my previous supervisor and Dessa used pylox paint to decorate theirs at napuno ng fumes ng spray paint ang buong floor. mukha tuloy kaming mga bangag.

again, here are some more pictures while decorating.





eto yung toxic na spray paint. infairness, maganda naman sya di ba?



















at eto ang mga salarin sa pylox paint.















at eto ang aming station. kahit simple, maganda naman kasi magaling yung gumawa.










party pictures are soon to follow... we are still uploading it just for you to see! so watch out for it.

kung susuriing mabuti ang lahat ng blog na nagcocontain ng lines which is in my previous post sa blogspot ko, since napapanood ito araw-araw at maraming fascinated sa show na ito, marami lines ang halos magkakaparehas at talagang aakalain mo na kinopya lang.

let me just inform y'all, am not a plagiarist. am not a literary thief. ang sakit kasing pakinggan eh. kung sa tingin nyo kinopya ko sya, bahala kayong mag-isip. as i've mentioned, try to check on some other blog sites that has the same post. you'll be amazed na halos parehas talaga.

why should i say sorry?! wala naman akong kasalanan.

am really amazed with the soap opera "Iisa pa lamang" by ABS-CBN. amazed by the fact that is has a powerhouse cast, great cinematography and of course, the famous lines.


though am not seeing the soap that much due to my shift, am so into the character's lines that I always look forward into seeing another episode coz in every episode that is being shown, they always throw in lines that eventhough the character says it in a serious, severe way yet so funny and hilarious.

the hilarious lines are mostly exchanged by Cherry Pie Picache (Isadora), Angelica Panganiban (Scarlet) and Claudine Barretto (Katherine). It also stars Susan Roces (Aura), Laurice Guillen (Estelle), Diether Ocampo (Miguel), Gabby Concepcion (Rafael), Melissa Ricks (Sophia) and so much more.

due to insistent public demand, i had collected some of the famous, quotable lines and it's now in my blog!

oh, san ka pa?

last week, my yaba informed me that they'll be having a party at gerry's grill again on the 18th of October to have this contest called "Ex----- Telesales Idol" and told me that our friend, Anna, will be joining the contest so i got excited when i heard the news.

Saturday came. hanggang 6:00 AM lang ang shift ko since nagfile ako ng PTO for 3 hours. so, konting meeting sa office, daan sa goldilocks para sa pasalubong then i went home na kasi yaba told me that we'll be going to divisoria to shop for some clothes.

ewan ko ba kung bakit hindi ako makatulog pagdating ko sa bahay para makapagpahinga. since walang magawa, i just bought some food for breakfast. sabi ko, hintayin ko nang gumising si yaba. around 10, kumakalam na ang sikmura ko. so, ginising ko na si yaba and showed him my pasalubong then kumain na ako. after that, naligo na kami, kumain ng lunch, we had our haircut then around 2 PM, saka lang kami nakaalis going to divi. much to our relief, hindi naman sya traffic. at pagdating dun, nagpaikot-ikot na kami hanggang sa namili ng mga damit. we bought a bunch of things like pants, shirts and shoes.

just knew that time that the party starts at 8:00 PM. we went home around 6:30. kamusta naman. hagaran. walang tulog. at partida, naligo pa ako. naghuhumagsik na ang mga lyka ugarte ko sa tiil hanggang mag-to the left, to the left na sila.

we got there at gerry's past 8:00 at hindi pa talaga nagsisimula ung program. the organizers let the attendees to dig in and munch their food first before they start the program.

when it started, it was a blast. the contestants did like a production number, singing "One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey and BoyzIIMen. there were just 2 girls that joined the contest which is Anna and Zelle and their voice? grabe. am running out of words to describe those 2.

anyway, the winner of course is Anna. kantahin mo ba naman with matching a remake yung "Am with you" ni Avril Lavigne eh hindi ka manalo. she really had a jaw-dropping performance. am not exaggerating or what but her performance was really a stand-out.

after the party, as usual. gimik. malate. walang tulog, hagaran. mamatay nalang ako. and for the first time, nakatulog ako sa loob ng bar eventhough it was so noisy because of the music and all the people that was there. it was just 10 minutes but hey, that was the only time i slept during that one whole freakin day. at pag-uwi namin sa boarding house, ayun. i went off the sack then go into a deep slumber kaso i woke up din ng around 10 AM ng Sunday because the sun was so high that time at sobrang init and coz we need to go to my parent's place.

buti nalang pagdating dun, nagluto si mama ng nilagang baka so ang sarap talaga. around 3 PM, nakatulog ulit ako till 11 PM. hay. sarap matulog.

magkaroon pa kaya ako ng weekend na makakapagpahinga ako ng bonggang-bongga?! well, sana...

i wanted to have my blog to have a new kick on it. since it is so avail, i started to browse some new templates awhile ago then found some good ones that i like.

at first, am just trying to preview the templates and see if how would my blogsite look like kung maganda ba sya or hindi. am not really saving it. hanggang preview lang ako eventhough am changing or editing the html here.

may nakita akong isa which is an iPhone template. eh fascinating sya so i tried it. it looked ok so i thought it would be wonderful if i'll have that as my template so i saved it.

ang hindi ko alam, mawawala pala ung mga widgets ko. dun na nagsimula ang trip ko going to Calvary. even yung sa mga posts ko, nawala yung mga links on the bottom part including the date and time on when a post was created.

guys, am reconstructing this ah. please bear with me.

i hope that this weekend would not be at worst like this.

it was 2 months ago wherein there was an incident na napagkamalan akong isang bayaran. in short, callboy.

i was about to go to work, one night, and just waiting for a jeep to arrive. siguro after 10 minutes, may dumaan na white pajero at nagpark sa harapan ko. i was wondring kung bakit sa laki ng daan and of all the places wherein he can park his pajero, sa tapat ko pa.

after a minute or two, bigla nyang binuksan ung mirror nya then told me, "sakay na."

nagulat ako and told myself, "do i know him? mukha bang nakikihitch ako? may pera naman ako ah". to my surprise, ang nasabi ko lang is "am sorry?"

bigla syang nagsalita at ang sabi ba naman eh, "bakit, magkano ba?"

from then on, alam ko na inakala nya akong callboy. i just told him na, "sorry, am not who you think i am. and besides, i already have a boyfriend and faithful ako. sorry ha." at nagsorry pa ako. at yun lang din ang nasabi nya.

after that, of course i told that story to yaba and some of my officemates. bongga daw ako sabi ng officemates ko kasi hinihintuan daw ako ng pajero. at first, i felt flattered na isang naka-pajero ang humihinto lang para saken at gusto pa akong bayaran pero ngayon, natakot na ako kasi iba na.

tuesday night. as usual, was about to go to work, one night, and just waiting for a jeep to arrive. after 10 minutes ulet, dumaan nanaman sa harap ko yung the same pajero sa huminto before. looks like he's going towards Kalentong tapos nagulat ako nung bigla syang mag-U turn then he parked his car a block away from where am standing. at sinesenyasan nya ako para lumapit ako sa car nya. he looked hesitant that time and parang pinipilit nya talaga akong sumakay sa pajero nya. buti nalang, may dumating na jeep.

sa harap ako ng jeep sumakay since wala naman nakaupo dun. pag daan ng jeep sa tapat ng pajero, sumisenyas nanaman sya para sumakay ako sa car nya. eh umalis din yun jeep so akala ko, dun na matatapos yun. but i was wrong.

sinundan nya talaga yung jeep na sinasakyan ko to the point na everytime na hihinto ung jeep for the driver to pick-up passengers, tumatapat talaga sya dun sa harap at sumisenyas paren sya saken.

i was so afraid at that time thinking, "anu ba ang kailangan sakin nito? mukhang masama ang tama sakin."

the chase had stopped bago dumating sa may tunnel going to pioneer. the jeep went straight ahead going to the tunnel tapos sya, pumanik na going to Boni.

he scared the hell out of me. i think he's around his late 20's or early 30's but though he looks cute and decent, nakakatakot parin ung ginawa nya. abot talampakan ang kaba ko nun and it made me have this phobia for white pajeros adjacent to a jeepney.

chase after the jeepney just to be hooked up? desperado ba sya? hindi naman ako gwapo ah.

pero isa lang ang alam ko kung bakit ako nagpakatatag sa tukso: mahal na mahal ko ang yaba ko at hindi ako gagawa ng kahit ano na makakasira ng relationship namin. uy, sweet lang.

last saturday, nagpunta kami ni yaba sa Cavite to celebrate 2 birthdays. birthday ng one year old ko nang niece na si Yesha saka birthday ng love na love ko na si ta-Balot.

it was a swimming party that was held somewhere in Dasmarinas, Cavite. infairness, margarbo. sabi kasi, sponsored by TFC daw yung party. nagbigay kasi yung relatives namin from the other side of the world ng budget para dun sa party kaya sponsored daw by TFC. kaloka.

the food was great. galing kasi magluto ng mga relatives ko. from my lola up to her siblings, marunong magluto. the menu was to its simplest. may spaghetti, menudo, grilled chicken and pork at bongga kasi may new addition to the menu: crispy pata and sizzling squid. meron din dalang pancit malabon ung boyfriend nung pinsan ko. uy, palakas.

i was so full at that time na parang every minute, kumakain ako. hindi ko tinigilan yung crispy pata, to the point na bones and all talaga. kebs na kung ma-high blood! sarap kumaen eh!

eventhough we don't have enough sleep that time (since galing kami sa shift nun), nag-swimming kami ni yaba kaso we let the sun set first before we dipped ourselves into the pool. ang lamig ng tubig! sa shower palang, malamig na yung tubig. lalo na yung pool.

it was just a couple of minutes nung nagswimming ako. parang wala kasi ako sa mood nun. at si yaba, ayun nagbabad ng nagbabad sa tubig. i really don't know but i wasn't really at a good mood to swim that time. instead, uminom nalang ako ng uminom but i didn't got to a point na intoxicated ako. even tipsyness, hindi ko naramdaman though we didn't have enough sleep at that time.

nandun kami sa resort 'til 5:00 PM then umuwi na kami. of course, wala naman ibang pupuntaha. the resort was so close at home that it's proximity could be measured like Ayala to the end of Buendia corner Edsa. taray di ba?!

yaba and i got a bit disappointed when we found out na disconnected na yung internet sa bahay namin dun sa Cavite. wala naman daw kasing masyadong gumagamit kaya the connection was terminated. kala pa naman namin, we could upload the pictures already. sayang, papakita pa naman namin sa inyo yung pictures. wala kaming nagawa kundi manood nalang kami ng TV till 7:00 PM hanggang sa nag-aya na akong matulog. sobrang pagod nun that when i jumped in between the sheets, tulog agad ako.

ang saya naman ng pagkagising ko kasi my lola prepared me my favorite breakfast: tutong ng sinangag. sobrang sarap nya to the point na naubos ko talaga ung isang plate. may natira pang menudo saka bits of crispy pata from the birthday so enjoy ang almusal. ang crispy nung tutong. namiss ko na agad. the best talaga.

nung lunch naman, it was nilagang pork that was served. ang sarap nung sabaw. nakakamiss talaga ung lutong bahay nila lola.

can't wait to celebrate christmas there. ang dami nanaman sigurong pagkain nun. i hope my yaba can celebrate christmas with me there para ma-experience nya yun.

most of us are afraid of something. it may be usual or unusual for some pero there is a certain thing that will sweat the hell out of you.


sa ngayon, marami na ang kinatatakutan ng mga Pilipino: sudden rise of the prices of basic commodities including rice, gas and utilities, disaster-related accidents, felony-related incidents at ultimo Chinese milk, kinatatakutan natin.


but at some point, meron talaga tayong specific fear sa mga bagay-bagay around us. here are some to name a few:


1. Agoraphobia (fear of open or public spaces)
- ibig sabihin, ayaw mong pumunta sa puntahan ng maraming tao like sa mall, sa mga park.

2. Xenophobia (fear of stangers or foreign people)
- ayaw mong makakita ng mga foreigner at parang feeling mo, kakainin ka nila ng buhay.

3. Acrophobia (fear of heights)
- hindi mo gustong magtrabaho sa mga high-rise building at ayaw mong tumambay sa mga rooftops para mag-yosi.

4. Claustrophobia (fear of Santa - no not really - fear of enclosed spaces)
- simple lang. hindi ka sasakay sa elevator dahil feeling mo, stairway to heaven na sya.

5. Social phobia (aka “social anxiety disorder,” fear of social situations)
- hindi ka friendly at ayaw mong makisalamuha sa ibang tao.

6. Arachnophobia (fear of spiders)
- tulad ko, ayaw mong makakita lalo na yung makahawak ka ng mga spiders.

7. Homophobia (fear of or contempt for lesbian and gay men)
- dapat talaga silang matakot samin.

8. Photophobia (abnormal sensitivity to or fear of light)
- abnormal talaga ang mga taong ayaw ng ilaw. they would just like to be sulked in the sun.

9. Triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13)
- Dessa, matakot ka na daw kay 13. sige ka.

10. Commitment phobia (coined in a 1987 book, usually refers to fear of committing to a permanent relationship)
- nakakahiya. puro Fu-Bu lang ang gusto ng mga taong ito. gud luck.


Oh, isa ka ba sa mga taong merong listed sa taas? kung meron ka, eh ano ngayon? it would not make you a lesser person, right?

but always remember, the only thing to fear is fear itself.

(for an almost-complete list of phobias, visit http://www.phobialist.com/)

walang magawa dito sa office today. very much availness so wala akong ginawa kungdi mag-surf at may shocking story akong nakita.

since the milk scare is also here in the Philippines, alam kong lahat tayo parang paranoid kung iinom tayo ng gatas or hindi. actually, it's not only milk that is affected. pati mga dairy products kasama. even chocolates. sayang, mahilig pa naman kami sa chocolates.

my supervisor did some research on this matter and nagbigay sya ng information regarding this. he got this from inquirer.net

(PS: Thanks Boss Dex for the info!)

somebody brought a guitar dito sa office ngayon so acoustic mode kami dito. kaso wala naman kaming maisip na kantahin. eh biglang may kanta na sumugpong out of nowhere kaya eto, na LSS na ako. si Dessa kasi eh.

anyway, here's the song. alam kong alam nyo to. kinda corny but it still lingers in my memory.
