Pessimist

That’s what I am.

When it comes to decision-making, about what I have achieved (or never achieved), everything that occurs, I always have a negative reaction which has a bigger impact compared to those things that, for others, is positive.

Like just now, as considered by most people, the most wonderful time of the year. And I don’t have anything to give to my godchildren and to my mom. #Nganga

I don’t even have something for myself this time which made me feel more frustrated. It will then trigger me to feel bad, feeling that I’m being deprived with the things that I wanted to have. Then it will make me think why we’re not that wealthy enough to spend for such things. Thinking of these fucking negative things will turn to me tears. Made me crying. Made me pity myself, my life.

Asking God why. Why my life is miserable.

This is the chain reaction of negative thoughts and resentment.

I’m almost 30 and I still act this way. I’m either a late-bloomer or immature.

I even thought of seeking professional help. There could be something or a way that would convert me being pessimistic to be an optimist.

Yes! This is who I am.

MENSIVERSARY

Just look how time flies. Six months had already passed and today it’s my blog’s mensiversary! WOOHOO!

And now, I have nothing to offer, sorry. HAHAHA!

Let’s just wait and see on my blog’s first year. I’m so looking forward to that. #Egzoited!

Season's Greetings

 

Happy Birthday, Jesus!

and Merry Christmas to everyone!

Bacolod City

I must say that I’ve been living the time of my life during my stay in that said city.

First, I’m being surrounded by my SuperFriends, close friends, office friends, dorm friends, friendly neighbors and locals. Next, I got a stable job in a call center/BPO company, where most of the employees are considered as my friends, even the big bosses; and yet to meet the others who are just new in the company. Lastly but definitely not the least, I got a partner, lover, brother, best friend and everything in between. With these in my life, I’m already contented, happy and so much in love.

But all of these have been left behind and instead I chose to go back to where I was used to be. I don’t know if I should call our permanent house “Home” but I already considered Bacolod as “My Home”, the only place where I felt important, special and loved.

Did I mention how harmonious it is to live there? Well, I can’t really define it in words but obviously, I’m so much in love with the city.

I really wanted to go back but as per saying “regrets are felt when it’s just too late”.

Even if I will go back now, everything will never be how it was supposed to be. A lot has changed after I have decided to leave but the good thing is that I can still go back.

I just don’t know when but I am very certain that Bacolod City have a special place in my heart.

New Government Center, Bacolod City

Maayong adlaw sa inyo tanan!!!

*** taken from my old blog, posted on 08/09/2012 ***

Just recently, Nat, my college buddy, sent me a text message. At first, I wasn’t able to recognize the number he used for it was not yet registered on my phone. Good thing it was not a prank message. And after the confirmation and all that, he decided to call me instead. Since we haven’t heard from each other for a few years, there were a lot of topics that came out; updates and all kinds of stuff. We missed each other so much. Reminisce the good ol’ times was one of the things that we've talked about which made me realize how time flies so fast. It took us almost an hour on the phone, I guess, but it felt so great to hear from him again. He made me miss his company and he also felt the same.

Back in our college years, we seldom hang out together but we called each other “bes” (short for bestfriend) though. I think it’s because we are under the same "hood". After college, I haven’t heard from him since. (or I just don’t really remember) LOL

sorry 'bout the photo, just chose this among the search results LOL

And just a couple of hours ago we exchanged text messages regarding his concerns. Probably asking for my opinion or say to his idea of going abroad. But as usual, there’s still a consequence/s beneath it. So, I gave out my suggestion/opinion, then I told him that it’s already up to him if he’ll follow that or not. And ask Him for a sign, which he agreed. He again decided to call me up (coz I think he’s not a texter-type like me) and we had a heart-to-heart talk. Exchange of thoughts about our respective partners, experiences, dilemmas, and so on.

After our wonderful conversation, I feel a whole lot better, so much lighter, for I was able to express what I’m feeling deep inside. And he also made me realize what I have right now, a very distinctive feeling that I can’t find anywhere or with someone else in the world. Love.

Thanks Nat, I really do appreciate everything. Hope we could get together soon. A double-date perhaps? LOL

Shave It Up

Just a week or so I have decided to shave my thing. I didn’t know what came over me why I did that but after doing so, it feels so refreshing!

When I was in college, I only thought of trimming my pubes due to its heavy volume. I don’t even know if there’s a special treatment for pubes like shampoos or hair conditioners but I didn’t mind. Then I went ahead with my first ever trimming of pubes moment. The feeling was so awkward whenever I move, sit, etc. I was not used to it, really. But now, the feeling of hairless or "pubeless" is so liberating. What more if I have it waxed! WHEW! I’m looking forward into that but thinking about some stranger (or a professional for that sort, I don’t care) who will touch and see my thingy would be too uncomfortable for me. Maybe I will just have to do it myself then. HEHEHE! I would experiment with my body since I would also benefit that along the way. If you are going to ask me, I would simply say “Nakaka-ignorante ang pakiramdam!” Everything feels new to me! It feels light, those times that you won’t worry about the hair getting caught by your belt thingy, and so on.

Since it’s been more than a week now, it is already growing. It already feels rough, itchy, and sometimes it already hurts my penis. Given that I have already started this, I guess I need to do this a weekly habit then.

Cheers to shaving your balls!!! WOOHOO!!!

The Invitation

In my 28 years of existence, any member of my family has never been invited to the Barangay Hall due to a neighbor’s complaint. We even lived in a slum area, a community wherein 24 hours there are very active people roaming around or standing by the streets. And I have lived that type of neighborhood in thirteen long years. Never, as in never in my life we got involved to a commotion, that’s why during that time, my mother and our family have never experienced disrespect from anyone.

I came up of this topic due to an approach that our neighbors have given us lately. It started when we began the house work a week ago. We’ve been planning to make this house-improvement it’s because our humble home was not done yet. There are parts that still need some final touch or plastering to avoid water from coming in if there are heavy rains. The exterior walls are also in need of the said work. This requires extended setup that may overlap to our neighbors’ property or private space. Well, of course, we already did ask permission beforehand to avoid conflicts. The only problem is that these neighbors have this certain attitude that most of us Filipinos have, Crab Mentality or Insecurity. I hate to say this but we’ve been surrounded by these people, which led for the other to escalate it to the Barangay Officers for a “trespassing complaint”. How brilliant! Because of this, I would love to place a cape and a crown on them to pay tribute for their foolishness!

After the argument and throwing of accusations, both parties haven’t come up of any agreement since the disgraceful neighbor was being a brat. Thus, the father sent another invitation which is set later in the afternoon. I don’t know what they wanted to discuss over with but I would definitely have to have an open mind to weigh things over, like any other educated and mature person does. BOOM!

I was planning to get a hold of an attorney to learn more on how we fair in this situation in terms of The Philippine Law. Any referrals, peeps? That would be greatly appreciated.

SSS

Just more than a week ago, I visited the Social Security System’s homepage but for some reason the site was unavailable. For some, especially to those who are employed to a private sector, the said government agency’s site is quite useful. Whatever it may be, could it be for verifying member’s details, or filing for claims and/or benefits. As for my purpose, it’s the well-known salary loan.

the site is very sluggish..pfft!

On October 20^th, the SSS website made their page available to public but it was not that polished yet due to the link that I needed was not where it was supposed to. I first noticed that when I entered my credentials and clicked the E-Services but the tab or link for salary loan seems to be missing. There was actually a link that provides a simple walkthrough on how to submit your loan application but it was not so helpful at all. So I decided to give it some time and leave it alone for at least a couple of days. Then I checked back, unfortunately, it is still not available. I never thought of reporting it or sending a feedback for I know how “our” system in this country works, so I just let it pass. Then my fingers led me to the site again to give it another shot. And luckily, my much needed link is there and immediately processed the loan procedure then VOILA! I quickly got an email confirmation from the site. The next day, I received another email confirmation that my employer certified the application. WOOHOO! All I have to do now is to wait for the check to be delivered to the post office, then encash the check from the bank. I can no longer remember if the check will take two weeks to be delivered to the post office, I’m not really sure.

TIP: Make sure to save a copy of the Disclosure Statement on Loan/Credit Transaction link, this is the breakdown of your schedule of payments within the 24-month period and this will serve as your reference, just in case.

Three Play (Triple)

I just want to bring up a topic that is something explicit. I bet you guys are already familiar with an adult type of game, “threesome”. There might be some of you have that kind of FETISH watching three guys having sex. Once you access your preferred porn sites, you might be clicking to that particular category right away.

they look cute, don't they? HEHEHE!

Well, as for me, I already tried doing that, plenty of times. HEHEHE! It was initially my partner’s idea. Para daw di ako maghanap ng iba, so he thought of doing it together with a third wheel. Initially, I kind of a hesitant, of course you’ll feel uneasy but once you started caressing one another, it’s the start of the game. There was this one instance where we were able to invite a straight guy. Syempre, kami lang ang kumakain. McDonald’s pose lang si kuya. And I must admit, I have really enjoyed it. Lalo na at gifted ang nakahain.

If ever you would want to try it, there is a thing or two that I would like to suggest. First, make sure that you befriend the other party, you and your partner, preferably. You can never be so certain with someone you barely know, right? Next would be, never provide too much 411 to the other party, if in case you’re planning to do it just once. Another tip is to secure your belongings, if ever you have a place and you’re inviting the other party over. If you have noticed everything falls into security & safety, and that should be your top priority! Lastly, don’t attempt the THREE PLAY if you’re going solo and you’re inviting two complete strangers into your place. It’s a BIG NO NO!

Threesome might sound fun but you have to think about your own safety first before your intimate cravings. And to translate that in Filipino, Kaligtasan muna bago Libog! LOL

Promdi

As you all know, I once have worked in the province and I must admit I’m a proud PROMDI! HEHEHE!

Bacolod City – this is where my mother and my maternal relatives are raised and born; this is where I chose to live, work, and love for almost four years. I was captivated with the city’s charm and tranquility. This city never fails to amaze me every now and then as I consider it as my home.

The city had just celebrated its annual MassKara Festival that lasted for 19 long days. The festival’s grand opening was on the 1^st of October, as per The Philippine Star’s blogpost. If you wanted to find out the festival’s short and brief history, you can always Google on it or consult the Wikipedia.

All of the MassKara posts were seen here and there all throughout the social media. And whenever I open my social network profile and see my wall with these kinds of post, it just made me miss this beloved city more. Those friends, colleagues, family and my loved one were greatly missed. I just don’t know when I can go back there to visit and have a grand vacation. Maybe on my birthday! =)

Confucius Itey (This Is Confusing)

*** taken from my old blog post. posted on 15-Jun-2012 ***

I already submitted a formal resignation letter this June 4^th and it will take effect on June 19^th, that means I’m just rendering 15 days prior to resignation. Ayoko kasi mag-render ng 30 days, antagal kaya nun. But I’m still undecided if I’m going to push through that or not. Ang gulo ko no?!

Well, simply because there are a lot of things running through my mind. First, I am leaving my work because my mother asked me to, but that will leave me unemployed for the time-being. On top of that, I will start from scratch again and will still be unsure if I can easily bump into an IT-related work because there's a great change of me getting hired as a call center agent, again! And that I really want to avoid because I have sworn to myself that I will never ever toil as an agent anymore! Never an option. My sister in fact recommended a possible job offer a couple of days ago and it seemed interesting, but of course, I can’t just depend on that. I have to give myself an option, multiple of it to be exact.
While on the other hand, if I will keep my work now that will look like I’m disregarding my mother since she will be left home alone. Certainly, I don’t want to do that, so I just thought of hiring a kasambahay for her to attend to her needs. And if I will stay with my current employer, there might be a possibility that I’ll get a promotion or be assigned to a certain position. But then I also thought, “Is that job offer worth it?”, “Will I really get that promotion or position soon enough? Or maybe not!" I must admit, I’m an ambitious person and I want the best for myself. Lahat naman siguro tayo. But there are times that I’m skeptical even in my own capabilities; I get easily conscious, thinking that there might be someone who’s way better than me, or perhaps the best. Just thinking about and looking at my credentials, it really is not enough to prove myself worthy. That’s why, if I were to ask on how I can sell myself to a company, baka wala akong maisagot. I would be speechless.

Once I have made my final decision, it could mean another 360⁰ turn in my life, knowing that either of the choices would also mean a lot of sacrifices. But I thought, just now, just this very moment, I still haven’t consulted HIM yet, seriously. I must talk to HIM. HE is the only one that could give me the answer, the answer that will break the choices; the answer that could avoid sacrifices; the only answer that would clear my mind and remove these anxieties that I’m now devouring.

I really don’t know why I’m stuck with this kind of predicament. Kakaiba kasi e. But maybe HE was just giving me a test. Kumbaga, kung sa eskwelahan pa eh ito na yung exam ng buhay ko. So whatever score I will get, that should be the result that I should accept. Kunsabagay, there’s nothing that could go wrong if you believe in HIM, ika nga, “trust HIM and you will be fine”.
But whatever happens, I should face it because everything has it's purpose.

Hay buhay, parang life!

ON BOARDING

I’m planning to rent a space near my working place. Ay! Nag-rhyme! LOL

I’ve been thinking about that over and over. At first, I thought I can bear travelling from home to work and vice versa. But I was mistaken, given the fact that you’ll face (exaggerated) heavy traffic in the Metro. I reside in a city in Laguna which is way too far from my workplace which is somewhere in Taguig City. I usually allot three hours of travel time which is not very healthy to a common employee. I read this blog that says something like; long commutes affect a person’s life in total. Click here to read more.

A heads up has already been given to my folks, just in case. I also consulted my NFF and he thinks I should do it since it would also benefit me. Although my regular eating habit will be taken for granted, but it would also mean more sleeping time for me. I’m trying to gain weight, just so you know peeps. And I’ve been struggling to do that ever since and I even don’t know why. I’m seeing my workmates gain that fast but not me. There may be something I need to change in my diet and on how I eat. Malakas naman ako kumain e at wala naman akong pili sa pagkain, lahat naman kinakain ko! As in LAHAT!! LOL

Trying to look for a room and not just a bed space because I already had a nightmare the last time I shared a room with guys I barely know. And the last time I wanted to happen is to get pissed on by a drunk roommate! I also wanted to go on solo because I wanted to sleep naked. HIHIHI! I feel more comfy whenever I sleep with my birthday clothes on because it makes me feel so sexy. LOL

pwede na 'to sa'kin! HEHEHE!

Hoping and praying that I would end up to a nice place with a nice property owner. Wish me luck!

Twirl It Up

Have you guys noticed the number of convenience stores here in the Metro? Well, of course, 7 Eleven is already on top of the list. But I just realized that there’s almost a convenience store present in every district/neighborhood (or baranggay, for Pinoys). Again, 7 Eleven cannot be defeated that easy for they have invaded the universe, to that matter. HAHAHA! But kidding aside, it seemed to be a booming business so far, so long as it has its own “Marketing Strategy” (or pauso, in layman’s term) that would magnet every consumer.

Being said that, and since we’ve been using 7 Eleven as an example, let’s start with them then. Who here is not familiar with Slurpee? Even a 6-year old would want to try some. It is soda mix that have been turned as a shake-like form or it may be referred to as a "slushy" that gives that worldwide-known “brain-freeze” moment as soon as you take a sipful (well, I just made it all up. HAHAHA). PRICE: ranging from 20-30 PHP

Now, let’s talk about the new trend and from my newly discovered convenience store, FamilyMart. I should acknowledge my NFF for this discovery. HEHEHE. As for their pauso, it is none other than the Twirl-All-You-Can Ice Cream! WOOHOO! It is plainly a soft serve ice cream with different flavor (depending on store’s available flavor) in a cone but it is a DIY thing so it takes a lot of practice if you wanted to achieve a tower-like high of ice cream cone. Just like what this guy did..

And this guy as well..

As for me, this is all I can do, so far. HAHAHA!

I know it looks awful but I'm practicing. LOL

Both videos are obviously not taken from FamilyMart. I just posted it as an inspiration. HAHAHA! PRICE: 25 PHP

NOTE: This is not refillable because you must do it continuously or the store crew and/or the guards might admonish you.

MARIO

Di ko inaasahan ang dulot mo sa mga kapwa ko Pinoy. I underestimated your presence. Kagabi ka pa pala nagparamdam. Dahil sa’yo napasarap ang tulog ko, nakatulong ka ng sobra sa aking “rest day”. Ngunit ganun pa man, ipinagdadasal ko din ang kaligtasan ng lahat ng mga apektadong Pilipino. Nawa’y matuto na ang iba sa naranasan ng mga kapwa natin sa mga nakalipas na kalamidad. Sana mabawasan na ang mga matitigas ang ulo nang mabawasan ang mga napapahamak. Yung iba kasi iniisip ang mga maiiwan nila na gamit, mga naipundar na resulta ng dugo’t pawis. Pero kung sa panahon naman ng sakuna, mas pipiliin mo pa ba ang mga ito kung ang kaligtasan mo at ng mga mahal mo sa buhay ang nakataya.

Sa kasalukuyan, malakas ang hampas ng hangin na may kasamang pag-ulan. Get the recent weather updates from your local TV and/or radio stations or if you have data network, check out PAG-ASA’s website or Facebook page.

Ang mga bagay maaaring mapalitan, hindi man ganun kadali o kabilis pero ang buhay nag-iisa lang. ilang beses man itong ipinapaalaala, sana hindi natin ipasawalang bahala sapagkat nasa huli ang pagsisisi. Kaya matinding pag-iingat mga peeps!

Premier

Saying di ako nakasipot sa usapan namin ni Joseph nung September 1. Medyo late na kasi ang lolo nyo nun at dahil dun i just decided to go straight to work. Kaya ayun, sumama ang loob ni NFF. HEHEHE!

Ewan ko ba kasi. Parang sakit ko na ang pagiging late. Ang bagal ko mag-ayos, matagal kumain. Masyadong mahinhin(dutin). HAHAHA! Ganun na nga ang siste e nakuha ko pang maglaro at mag-internet sa tab. NAKOW! Katigas talaga ng kokote. HEHEHE!

So, ayun na nga! Bumawi naman ako kay NFF kasi nakakuha ulit sya ng free movie pass pero hindi na If I Stay syempre, Pinoy movie naman this time. The Gifted, starring Anne Curtis, Sam Milby and Cristine Reyes. Luckily, this is a premier night that we have attended, so I got to see the main cast in person. Well, not that close enough but at least I now know how they looked like in real life. HEHEHE! I must admit, ang HOT pala talaga ni Sam. DEYM! Si Anne, as always, Anne-kabogable! Anne Curtis is Anne Curtis, wala nang kokontra dun. HAHAHA! Si Cristine naman, sobrang puti! Di mo alam kung bampira kasi parang di naaarawan. Kainggit much! LOL!

kamusta naman Cristine? mala-Snow White lang ang peg! LOL

Since premier night to-its, syempre di mawawala ang red carpet! Feel na feel ng lolo mo ang pagrampa at paghiyaw ng mga utaw sa gilid. Feeling celeb lang talaga ko nung mga time na yun. HAHAHA! Ganun pala yung pakiramdam ng rumarampa sa runway or catwalk. Parang mas lalo tuloy ako naging eager maging model. HAHAHA! Sayang lang at di ako nakunan ng picture ng aking NFF along the red carpet.

The movie is still showing though. Watch it now in cinemas near you. (maka-promote lang? LOL)

I am RICH. period!

** this is an old post from my old blog dated 05-29-2012 **

F - R - I - E - N - D - S

It really feels so great to have them around, di ba? You have a group of them to laugh and speak with; or a bunch of them to cheer you up whenever you’re down, depressed, alone or heartbroken or whatever; or he/she can be the one whom you can share secrets with. You also learn from them. They even share their own experiences or thoughts whenever you're stuck in a dilemma.

For me, FRIENDS are treasures. If you don’t know how to keep them, you will definitely lose them. But unlike any treasure, friends are priceless, they are immeasurable. You can easily find them, there's no need for a map. hehehe.

I treat everybody as my friend, actually. My mother, my siblings, my partner, even my boss! I don't know ha but it really comes out naturally that I treat them that way. Kaya nga I already considered myself friendly kasi never pa nagkaron ng dull moments pag ako ang kasama nila. Although, of course, everyone has their own shortcomings sa buhay. Good thing nga na I was able to get over my pessimistic overview in life, and again, that's because of my FRIENDS. As in before I am super nega sa lahat na lang ata ng aspeto ng buhay. Yeah! Funny but true. Natatawa na lang ako while reading this post.


And since ngayon lang ulit ako nakapag-post after a week of hibernating from the net, I suddenly felt itchy when I saw this guy sa recent post ni Mamang RD. I googled on him and found out that he has his own site. Opened it, browsed through it, and then I found this.. (the site is not updated)

AHLAVET!!! Gusto ko din sya sanang maging FRIEND! (Asa!) hek hek hek..

Excitement

I’m very excited na para bukas kasi my NFF Joseph (yow-sef) invited me to watch an advance movie screening with him at Robinson’s Galleria.

Kaso medyo choosy si friend kasi di daw nya bet ang cinema sa Galle. Siguro dahil sa nasanay na sya sa mga 4DX-type movie houses, like the one in Bonifacio High Street, at common naman ang cinema sa Galle. Sabi ko nga e, wala syang choice kasi libre naman yun, courtesy of Warner Bros. Sayang nga lang kasi wala pa yung ticket, on the day of the event pa daw ibibigay, wala tuloy akong sample photos. HEHEHE!

Medyo may pagka-cheesy ang peg nito ngayon kasi If I Stay ang nakuha nyang movie tix, but it also has moral lessons and story about family. Another movie that was based from the book with the same title. Feeling ko maganda tong movie na to kasi maganda yung execution of scenes sa trailer. Yung moment na parang sa trailer pa lang maiiyak ka na. Ang galing din naman kasing umarte ng bida, in all fairness to her, at yan ay walang iba kundi si Chloë Grace Moretz. Sya din ang bida sa movie remake na Carrie, na isa din sa cast ng Kick-Ass, at may role din sya sa Diary of a Wimpy Kid (kung di ko pa Ginoogle, di ko malalaman). Medyo bagets pa si Chloë compared sa loveteam nya sa movie kasi 17 pa lang si Ineng at 23 na si Koya. Pero di nya pinahalata ang edad nya sa character nya sa pelikula.

Let’s all find out how the movie will turn out. Plan with your date because this will be showing on September 3 in theaters nationwide. For those who haven’t seen the trailer yet, this one's for you.

CWD and the Surprise

 **this is a scheduled post and taken from my old blog site which was posted last July 5, 2012**

Starting today, it’s officially CWD. For those who have call center experience know its meaning but for the benefit of the others, it only stands for Critical Working Days  or Critical Wallet Day. LOL Wanna know why? It’s because I’m already starting to tighten up my budget for the following days ‘til the glory day aka pay day. It really is so difficult to adjust whenever I'm in this situation. But it’s alright I already made a plan for this week; I have submitted a vacation leave request! Although it will only be for two short days napagitnaan naman ang rest days ko so it’s just fine and that makes four days of tambay sa apartment. Cool, right? And what’s cooler than that, it’ll be my partner’s birthday this Friday and the day after that another friend of ours also decided to have their handsome baby baptized. Enjoy na naman to since I’ll be hanging out with our friendships! LOL

Since it is the so-called CWD I don’t know if I can still buy my partner a gift that he likes that’s why I’m thinking if I’ll just give it once I already have my pay this 15^th. Nakakaloka nga yun eh, ‘coz he likes a lot of things and I don’t know what to give anymore and to top it up, he has a very Shalla Lumpur taste. I actually wanted something that he can use every day and something that will last.

Here’s the list of the things he likes (almost):

·         A pair of Havaiianas or Ipanema flip-flops

·         Pair of sneakers, could be a Nike, Adidas, Diadora or Reebok

·         Bag, either a Louis Vuitton, Reebok or Lonsdale

·         Shirts from either Polo by Ralph Lauren, Nike or Adidas

·         A pair of shades, a Guess,  Spyder or Dickies

He also likes watches but I’m not familiar with the brand that he likes the most since he’s very choosy. Sigh. Anu na lang ang ibibigay ko? Pero in fairness may affordable syang gusto, he’s aiming to have a bolster pillow. Yun na lang kaya ang bilhin ko. LOL

At isa pa, I want to surprise him again just like what I did last year. I invited some of our close friends over to the apartment. I also made an arrangement with our landlady since she accepts made-to-order foods, may it be dishes, cakes, sweets, desserts, etc. So I ordered a Baked Mac and as her gift to him she added Brownies, she even placed a Birthday Candle on top. LOL

One of our friends decided to buy a party popper to have an additional effect to the surprise. It actually took long before he came home because he did a lot of reports at work. I was texting him to come home right away because I want to dine out with him. And so that he won’t suspect that I have something in my sleeve, I acted like I’m already mad of waiting which made him hurry a bit.

The long wait was over, I saw him from the window near approaching the apartment so made a signal to our friends to have their cameras ready who were waiting inside the room that time. I went outside para salubungin sya na kunwaring galit but when he opened the door, “SURPRISE!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!” You can see the shock in his face and I felt happy & excited ‘coz finally I made to surprise him. I just can’t remember if it was the first time I made a surprise for someone but I assure you that it was one UNFORGETTABLE & AMAZING SURPRISE!!!

NFF Joseph

Salamat sa’king newfound friend na si Joseph at sa kanyang expertise in terms of movie-watching dahil nayaya nya ko sa Bonifacio High Street Cinema. Sobrang hilig kasi ng batang to manuod ng movies and in lieu to that, ang hilig nya din magbasa ng libro which really goes hand-in-hand, I guess. HEHEHE! He also has a blog that specializes in movie-reviews. Natuwa nga ko kasi he was able to get a chance to receive some movie passes because of his blog. Medyo nag-lie low na sya sa blog nya na yun ngayon kasi he started working in a BPO and due to the demands of the schedule as well as the shift of his body-clock (which would really affect your lifestyle). Sabi ko nga sa kanya na sayang naman yung blog site at subukan nyang i-pursue ulit pag may time. One-time aalukin ko nga syang makipag-collaborate. HEHE!

May advantage kasi yung mga ganun sites, most especially sa mga movie-goers na gustong malaman ang reviews and/or insights of a particular movie. But of course, the rest still depends on that person if he’ll just consider it as an opinion or his basis to watch the movie or not. Ang mas lalong nakakapagpasaya ng mga movie-review sites are those movie-critics as well because they also share their own thoughts in regard to the topic and from then on, kanya-kanya nang diskusyunan at pagtatalo ang magaganap hanggang sa yung iba nalilihis na yung topic at pag nabasa ng isang blog-visitor, mawiwindang na din sa mga pangyayari. HAHAHA!

Well, my take to that is simple. Every one of us is different, kaya di na imposible kung may kanya-kanya tayong opinion and perspective sa iilang bagay which adds flavor to our daily lives. Kaya yung iba nagtatalo, ang iba naman nagkakasundo. Everything, everyone makes the world go round.

I love watching movies may it be in the movie house/cinema o sa bahay lang (cable channels or DVDs). But let me share ang very first time experience ko sa isang sinehan. First time ko kasing nakapasok sa cinema ng Ayala Malls and I must say, that was such an experience! Para sa’kin na viewer ng isang regular movie house e nakaka-ignorante talaga ang cinema ng Ayala Malls.

When I was a child, I am only familiar with regular movie-houses within the Metro. Iba-ibang klase ng mga sinehan yun. Ang ibig kong sabihin sa klase e yung malinis at dugyot. HAHAHA! Yung mga malilinis ay yung nasa mga malls, habang yung mga dugyot ay stand alone. Kung naabutan nyo pa, ang mga stand alone cinemas ay masa-sight mostly sa Maynila, gaya ng sa may Leon Guinto, Paco, Recto, Sta. Mesa, Sta. Cruz atbp. Kasi naman, most of the movies they play there are Pinoy X-rated movies, madalang lang yung ibang genres. Well, enough of the dugyot-topic. HEHEHE! Ayun na nga, sobrang kakaiba talaga ang Ayala Malls kasi they’ve made a twist to our cinema-experience. Kung dati-rati ay stiff ka lang sa kinauupuan mo while munching on your chips, doon medyo mababasa ka o hihipan ng malakas na hangin o magva-vibrate ang upuan mo depende sa nangyayari sa palabas. Sorry if I may really sound so naïve here pero ganun talaga ang feeling ng first-timer, kaya pagbigyan nyo na. HAHAHA! Kaya nagtataka ko nung niyaya ako ng newfound friend ko at sinabing PHP400 ang worth nung movie. Exaggerated talaga yung reaksyon ko na, “ANG MAHAL NAMAN NUN!! ANO’NG KLASENG MOVIE BA YAN?! 3D!?!” Pero after the movie, worth it naman pala yung price kasi na-enjoy ko yung palabas kasi damang-dama mo yung mga pangyayari. It was like you’re part of the movie. Paano pa kaya kung 3D yun, di ba? And besides, you have to treat/reward yourself every once in a while because you deserve it.

take note: may kasama pang discount coupon
LOL

The experience was really overwhelming kaya naman I’m planning to bring my mother there for her to experience the same thing, and as a treat for her as well. Iniisip ko na lang kung saang Ayala Malls ko sya dadalhin. Hihingi na lang ko sa newfound friend ko ng advice, tutal mahilig naman sya sa movies at ang itreat ang family nya.

Kayo ba, do you have any suggestions for me? Feel free to comment. It’s highly recommended and appreciated.
