Kwentong Miko and General Nonsense

Living Life to the Fullest

2011-05-02T00:27:00.000-07:00

"Di ko kaya ang ginagawa nyo sir,
Pagod na tayo d2 sa kasal,

Grabe!"
My reply: Hehehe, live your life to the fullest.

Cadet2: Miks, kami na lang!
Cadet3: Sir, kami kulang pa. Dapat kami ang gumawa!
Training Officer 1: Hala Sir Miko, anong ginawa mo sa mga kadete mo?! Bakit nag-aagawan ng trabaho? Sa department namin, nagtuturuan at nagpapasahan.

Miko: Xempre, living life to the fullest.

Work and Play in Palawan and Boracay in May. Attend Wedding in Ilo-ilo and join Multi-level Marketing in June. Vacation in Nueva Vizcaya or/and Cagayan in July. Trip to Pangasinan and/or Zambales in August. Finish design and construction of interior of own room and the family entertainment room in September.

... work.

play.

earn.

design.

date.

rinse.

repeat...

Papa: Hindi ka napapagod 'nak? Para kang pating. galaw ka ng galaw...
Miko: Kaya nga 'pa. Para akong pating, mamatay ako pag huminto akong gumalaw.

Colleague: You need to find your anchor, or anything that can make you grounded. Mag-asawa ka na kaya?
Miko: No way!!! Marami pa akong gagawin!

Boss1: Miko-san. We like very much your contribution in the program. We believe that without you, it might collapse. But always remember, first priority... your health. We very much fear you overwork yourself. Please rest whenever needed. Understand?
Miko: Wakaremasu!

I'm thinking about it now. Maybe I do move around alot. That it's about time to find that relationship that can (at least in a way) keep my feet grounded. Or that badly needed rest. Maybe, all of them are right...

But if I stop, I won't feel i'm living. What I learned keeps me experiencing and creating. And the result of what I'm doing keeps me addicted. As my experience grows, so does my perspective, and meaning. As the places i've been to expanded, so my acquaintances grow numerous - including those moments I share with them in between.

In my work, I do not aim to be the Best, I aim to be the Only one who can do it. In my family and friends I do not aim to be with them Everytime, but to be there in that very particular time when no one is around and they badly need someone. I do not simply want to leave this world with a Family, I aim to leave it with a Legacy.

And that, for me, is living life to the fullest. Spending my life on activities that can outlast it.

After 3 Years!

2011-04-17T05:41:00.000-07:00

Wow!

Kung hindi dahil kay ericthespaceoutjunkie, hindi ko na uli mabibisita ang blog na to. i even forgot it existed. waahahah.

Now, what happened since I posted my Islander tsinelas??

Well, my Zero Dating for One Year Goal was successfully completed and extended till now (almost three years) T_T

I found out, pag nagzero ka sa lovelife, magzo-zoom ang career. And that was what happened. I got offered a project that sent me to Japan for training and to have a post-graduate studies in Solent University (UK). Hehehe.

I got my B- sa lakbayan.net

I organized a non-profit org that assisted two orphanage one school.

Nah, i'm not bragging, I'm just saying I've been busy.

In fact, I was sssooo busy I've been branded "superman" by three different person (one friend, one boss and one potential date).

And since I'm already bragging (though I said I'm not), hehehe, i will post here how he described me:

"Days with Superman

Who? Yes Superman. I just met him. I know it's mythical to say. But even with my own eyes and experience I just knew him. He is unbelievably extra ordinary, mysterious, and rational. For some period in my life he flew right into my face to say "hi". That he is just around. Watching. Probably waiting? Well Clark Kent is unnoticeable right? Yes at first he is just a geeky Clark Kent that my eyes never lose a wink to linger. But he proved to me that there is more to Clark Kent. That he has great power. I never knew that. And as we know power comes with great responsibility. From then I never imagine putting my picture by the side of someone like Superman. It's because he's everybody's Superman. So who am I to have a constant space in his responsibility?

I'm just an ordinary citizen like Lois Lane. But far from being more than a bird and more than a plane, I know it's not easy to be him. Out of the hundreds of people he serve, Lois Lane just want to know if Superman's kryptonite will be on hand as key. And out of all the extra ordinary traits he has, would that include an extra ordinary feeling? He was never that normal, never was perfect, never was the ideal, never expected. I don't know if I should say if there's still "to be continued" at the next page of this comic book. But who knows. Lois lane will still be Lois lane.. will be just .. yes .. here .. waving for Superman. Waiting to land again right in front of my eyes... And smile.. "

Hehehehe, cheesy noh? Since he already claimed my powers and responsibility, I was inspired... To share what I experienced.

Thus, henceforth, pipilitin kong ma-update ang blog na to, at least twice and thrice a month. n_n

Ang Islander Kong Tsinelas

2009-01-12T17:19:00.000-08:00

A couple of weeks ago, pumasok ako sa isang coffee shop to pass the time (dahil i'm waiting na matapos ang pinapagawa kong corporate-give-aways). Nag-i-scan ako sa journal ko to get inspiration for blog to post.

I wear my usual thing. shirt, shorts and slippers. At dahil probinxa naman, hindi ko ine-expect na may mga customer na dala ang arrogance of most Big City Dwellers.

Pag pasok ko, tinignan ako ng dalawang badets (bading na teen-ager) mula ulo hanggang paa. and from my perepheral vision, nakita kong tumaas ang kilay nila, maybe wondering anong ginagawa ko sa loob ng coffee shop. Baka inisip nila na magso-solicit ako or something.

"kumusta naman ang Islander," i heard one of them said, sabay tawa ng dalawang baklita sa couch.

gusto ko rin sanang matawa non. hahaha. suot ko ang Islander kong tsinelas (my other pair of slippers are only used for swimming). at kung iku-kumpara nga ako sa dalawang badet na naka-havaianas, muka talaga akong gusgusin.

hindi ko alam kung magkano ang isang pares ng havaianas. i never bothered to ask. i know i can afford it. but why should i?

Keep one small independent corner of your mind
that calls nonsense by its right name,
that holds to the things you know to be true,
and that laughs at pretentiousness
even when it is exciting and fashionable with your contemporaries.
-------------John Gardner, Commence Address to Sidwell Friends School

sa konting barya na natitipid ko by choosing Islander over Havianas, or Carter Briefs over Bench. or kung ano-ano pang bagay for consumption, is the same money i spend for things that truly matters.

Maraming taong bumibili para sa gutom nilang Ego. Busog naman ang Ego ko (halata naman sa kayabangan ko, hahaha), kaya ibang bagay ang pinagkakagastusan ko.

Gumastos ako ng tuition para sa isang subject na hindi required pero gusto ko lang matutunan (siempre, continuous ang gastos dahil pumapasok ako). Gumastos ako para makapunta sa isang lugar na hindi ko pa napupuntahan (to add to my Tour Belt). Ngaun, may pinag-iipunan ako para i-donate sa CRIBs Foundation, isang bahay ampunan (kung sinong interested jan, kontakin ako, hehehe).

Again, hindi masama na magsuot ng havaianas, o magpagupit sa bench fixx instead sa f-salon. ang point ko lang, you have a deeper obligation to yourself to balance the material aspect with something more profound. and we all have at least a little social responsibility.

hala.

anu ba yan. kung ano-ano na ang na-ikwento ko dahil sa Islander kong tsinelas. Pero it really takes a lot of Kapal ng mukha at Tibay ng pagkatao to wear it in Starbucks (which i did last january 4, hahaha).

Kapal ng Orig. Tibay ng Orig. (uhm, makakakuha kaya ako ng endorsement revenue d2? hehehe).

-------------
oi, seryoso ung alok ko sa Cribs Foundation ha. sinong gustong magparticipate, message me. n_n

The Party Animal

2009-01-08T23:52:00.000-08:00

Hindi ako magra-rant. At hindi rin ako magse-sermon. n_n

It will be just my personal, biased, preference for the person i'm going to date (and my 2x a week blog quota).

Dahil sa nalalapit na pagtatapos ng "Zero Dating for One Year Goal" ko, i can't help not to scan dating sites (g4m, downelink, friendster, multiply - jan lang ako may account) of possible guys to date. hahaha. A large number of people in those site however have one characteristic na hindi compatible sa 'kin.

The Party Animal

Nag-search ako sa wikipedia kung saan nagmula ang concept na party animal. pero walang kwenta ang result. Sa thefreedictionary.com sinabi na ang party animal ay isang tao na sobrang hilig magparty, at s/he goes to as many as possible.

Maraming party animal na proud. Makikita mo sa website nila that they "Live to Party" at "Work Hard and Party Harder". i'm not going to say its bad or its wrong. katulad nga ng sinabi ko sa taas, it will be just my personal biased preference.

You see, meron na akong isang daga (named - Mikki) who outlive two of his partners, isang myna bird (named BabyLoves) na lagi nag-che-cheer sa brother ko pag naglalaban kami sa videoke, isang askal na gray puppy (named BluEyes) na obviously kulay asul ang mata, 4 na nameless goldfishes na lumalangoy with a sharkfish and a janitorfish. (and R.I.P pla kay Fluffy and Fliffy, the two bunnies which one was helplessly devoured by a neighbor's dog, and which the other died out of grief).

our house is practically a zoo (not that i count myself as a monkey), and something tells me that adding a party-animal doesn't sound appealing.

Hindi ko gusto ng partner na uubos ng sahod sa isang party (na kahit scraps ng chichiria walang madadala para kay Mikki), napapaligiran ng taong bangag sa coccaine or ecstasy, at uuwi ng lasing, susuka at magkakalat, matutulog maghapon, at iritable pag-gising.

I admit i experience that (except the drug and smokes). I admit it is nice. Addictive.

Pero tulad ng isang pagkain, Partying is the icing on a cake. Matamis. Pero hindi nakakabusog. Mapapasayaw ka, mawawala sa sarili, sa ingay ng musika, but it deafened the silence of your Soul. Maraming kulay, liwanag, at mga mukhang maganda sa paningin, but it blinds you to the beauty of sunrise, or the smiles of the people who truly matters.

O siguro talagang probinxano lang ako at heart. Pero i still hold on to my preference. Ok lang ang gumigimik, pero ayoko sa gimikero. I already have lots of animals.

Who would need a high(er)-maintennance one?

Bagong Taon ay Magbagong Buhay

2009-01-05T17:28:00.000-08:00

Break muna tayo sa "Basic Rights" Series. For the benefit of those whose missing Kwentong Miko, eto na muna. n_n

Bagong Taon (Trivia muna)
Yes, you might say i'm joining the New-Year-Whatever (resolution, goals, etc.) pero parang ganon na nga. Traditionally, dapat March ang New-Year-Whatever dahil nung unang panahon (Old Roman Calendar), March ang start ng Bagong Taon (kaya ang September ay pang seven, ang October ay pang-eight, and so on and so forth).

Nang mamuno ang mga consul ng Rome, pina-uso ni Julius Caesar ang Julian Calendar nung 47BC. Ginawang unang buwan ang January (na pang 11 month dapat). At nang mag-expand ang West, pati ang ibang parte ng mundo ay nagpa-uto na ang New Year nga ay January 1. Taong 1600 nang makigaya ang Scotland, 1700 naman nakisali ang Russia at ang pahuli-huling bansa na naki-uso ay ang Thailand nuong 1941.

Miko's New Year Traditions
Required sa family ko na mag-spent ako ng New Year sa bahay hangga't hindi pa ko nag-aasawa. At dahil hindi pa legal sa Pilipinas ang magpakasal sa mga pinalad na taong katulad ko, mukang i'll be spending every New Year with my family. hehehe.

Isa sa personal tradition ko ang paggawa ng Dreams List o listahan ng mga pangarap. Usually, i maintain a 100+ Dreams per year. Ito ang mga bagay na gusto kong mabili, mga lugar na mapuntahan, o mga eksena na gusto kong ma-experience. Some are grand (magkaroon ng sariling building) and some are trivial (matulog sa damuhan ng isang restricted area hehehe). Some are long range (own 3 business before i turn 30) and some are almost routine (4 campings this year).

Last year (2008), I made a lot of progress. Mejo umangat ng konti ang Net Worth ko. I finished one semester earning valuable knowledge (wala akong paki sa grades, hehehe, mas mahalaga ang natutunan). I added two never-been-to places (Pangasinan and Cabanatuan) on my Tour Belt. and finally "coming-out" to my father (more on that next time) for my Family-Related Area. hehehe.

Partial List of 2009 Dreams
1. Start Dating. This year, matatapos na ang ZERO DATING GOAL yyuuhhhuuu!!! wwaahhh. nakakaiyak. hahaha. konting buwan na lang ng pagtitiis. hahaha. yung mga naghihintay jan (kapal), get ready na. hahaha.

2. Publish 4 Magazines. hehehe. eto part job, part personal. n_n I will do my best to publish magazines catered to specific group.

3. Raise net worth 20% of current value. hala. hahaha. this is on business side. hehehe, para may bala pag nakikipag-date

4. Four campings. Naka dalawa lang ako last year. gusto ko apat for this year. and in related area, i will add another (at least) 2 places on my Tour Belt. hehehe

5. Put up a non-profit org to develop business proficiency of some college students. hahaha. baka sa susunod, world peace na. hahaha.

6. Blog at least 2x a week!!! sorry sa mga uber-delays. pero i'll do my best talaga to post more often now.

well, that's all for now. secret na ung iba. hehehe

till next time na lang ulit. belated happy holidays!!! cheers!

The Right To Grow

2008-11-23T22:50:00.000-08:00

Ito ang Unang Right, but it doesn't mean other (following) rights are inferior. Check this Preamble for intro, continue reading for explanation of this right.

Both partners must allow
Each other the freedom to grow
Even that freedom
Is a threat to the relationship

Pag pinipigilan ng isang partner na makamit ang fullest potential ng other party, pinapakawala nito ang pinaka “undermining force” sa isang relationship. Parang sinasabi nya: Dapat kang manatili kung sino mang gusto ko na maging ikaw. You must always stay the same. Ang purpose mo sa buhay ay kung ano man ang tingin ko dito. And your growth is a threat to me.

Ang paglalagay ng restrictions sa pagyabong ng kapareha mo ay isang malaking pagkakamali. Relationship should be a place where two people share the experience of helping each other become more than they were when their relationship started. Hindi ito kulungan. Hindi hostage ang partner, at hindi ransom ang Love na ginagamit na kondisyon as long as the other party stays the same.

And loving is not just permitting, tolerating, understanding and supporting. Sabi nga ni St. Exupery, “love is leading you gently back to yourself”. You should love NOT ONLY what the other is, but also what he can BECOME.

Pag naramdaman mo na may parte ka ng sarili mo na gustung-gusto mo pero napipilitan kang itago sa partner mo, then the relationship is in serious trouble. Hindi ba masakit, ang masabihan ka ng kapareha mo na “Pinigilan mo akong maging Ako.”

Threatening man sa simula, helping your partner grow and find himself always makes a relationship stronger. Ang partner ay magiging less dependent and less possessive. Mananatili sila sa relationship kasi gusto talaga nila na magsama. Kahit na malaya at may karapatan sila na magtagal o umalis, pinili nila na manatili and to grow old together.

Basic Rights - Preamble

2008-11-21T02:02:00.000-08:00

Wala. I surfed and checked, pero hindi ko makita ang hinahanap ko.

Siguro nabaon na sa limot, or possibly outdated na at hindi na applicable sa ngayon. But I don’t want to lose it in antiquity. Kahit for record purposes lang, gusto kong ma-retain ang mga concepts na ‘to.

I’m talking about the “Basic Rights” sa isang relationship. Hehehe, being single, I know I’m not in the position to discuss these things. Nevertheless, I believe the messenger is not important, only the message.

There are Ten (10) Basic Rights in a Relationship. I will discuss nine, and hope everyone will find out the tenth without me telling it. n_n It will be in a series, starting with this preamble.

So, letsgedidong!

Everyone's Basic Rights

Lahat tayo tao (maliban sa iba jan, joke!) and that simple fact makes us heir to the noblest aspirations, basest instincts, ang ma-attract sa kagandahan, potensyal na manakit o gumanti, at ang kapasidad na magmahal at magsakripisyo.

Lahat tayo ay ipinanganak ng may pare-parehas na karapatan. At atin ang karapatang ito whether we assert them or not, mag-isa man o meron tayong karelasyon. Ito ay natural na karapatan, and our claim to them is our life itself at ang paniniwala natin sa pagkakapantay-pantay. Our right to express and satisfy our rights always depends upon our respect for the rights of others.

Hindi mo pwedeng pwersahin ang isang tao na isuko ang karapatan nya, kahit minsan, nasusukol mo sya. Ang tao lang na pwedeng magsuko ng karapatan ay yung taong nagmamay-ari nito. Ang pagsukong iyon ay dapat panandalian lang. Isang part ng “give and take” sa isang balanseng relasyon.

Pag tuluyan nating isuko ang karapatan natin para sa ibang tao, we only violate ourselves, become less of a person and in the end undermine the relationship itself. Laging may bayad ang pagsuko ng karapatan. At kung isinuko mo ito ng hindi bukal, o napwersa ka lang labag sa gusto mo, kadalasan meron lihim na hinanakit. It’s a pain that always comes from giving away a part of ourselves we need in order to feel like a complete human being.

Ang matagal na kinikimkim na hinanakit dahil sa natapakang karapatan ay nagiging lihim na negatibong pwersa na naghahanap ng paglahad. Dumadaloy ito sa relasyon, kumakapit sa mga walang kwentang pagtatalo, pinalalaki ang maliit na galit at dinudungisan ang anumang maganda.

Ang mga karapatan sa isang relasyon ay ang parehas na karapatan na tinatamasa mo bago mo pa man nakilala ang kapareha mo. Hindi bina-bargain ang karapatan. They simply exist.

Isa sa tungkulin ng relasyon ay makilala at maprotektahan ang karapatan ng bawat isa.

-------------
Pahinga muna ang kwentong miko, hehehe, lets talk about L-O-V-E para meron tayong ibigay sa pasko. n_n Thanks to R.M. for inspiring me to write this, and photocredits for fading-lily from deviantart.

Di.Vi.Ded iAm

2008-10-29T21:13:00.000-07:00

Hearty: Oh God! Oh God! OH MY EFFIN GOD! I Can’t believe this is happening!

Eyesy: SShheett! He really looks absolute gorgeous.

Lipsy: Naglalaway na ko, wwaahhhh!!!

Brainy: Order! Order! This Body must maintain proper decorum! Hearty, you are getting unruly again. Tell me what is the status. Handy, please take the minutes of this meeting.

Hearty: Uhm, Mr. President, do you recall "Ultimate Crush"? ‘Di po ba iniisnab po natin sya sa Campus nun?

Brainy: Yes, I remember him. Napagkasunduan ng Body na to na iwasan sya dahil he looks too good… and we don’t want to join his ‘Fans Club”. Sakit lang un sa ulo, as everyone agreed. Now, what about him?

Hearty: Er… Correction your Honor. Hindi po napagkasunduan na iwasan sya, not in the sense na there is a conscious effort to avoid him. We just agreed we are going to be… uhm, indifferent.

Brainy: So? What’s your point?

Hearty: Eh, ngayun po, sya ang gumawa ng first move! Waahhh. Ang bilis ng tibok ko. Ano na po ang gagawin natin Mr. President?

Brainy: Have you run the Emotional Assessment Test?

Hearty: I made initial testing, your Honor. Tulog pa po si Birdy, at sobrang baba po ng arousal level. Definitely it is not LDE (Lust-Driven Emotion).

Brainy: That’s good. At least Handy is doing a good "job" keeping Birdy satisfied for now… Is there anything else?

Hearty: Your honor, I believe we have a serious case of IDE (Infatuation-Driven Emotion). We have several cases of Dream Infringement, Wishful Thinkings, and Day Dreamings.

Brainy: I’m quite aware of that, thank you. I receive reports that some schedules-for-idle-times are being override by Wishful Thinkings and Day Dreamings..

Hearty: It’s really difficult, your honor. Sometimes… it’s painfully, hard. I want him bad... and I want him soon. Hindi ako umasa nung pinaintindi mo sa Body na we don’t have a chance… Pero ngaun, now that he made the first move... Ayokong pakawalan ang opportunity.

Brainy: Naiintindihan ko. Sige, I will conduct full assessment of his character profile. You understand it’s a protocol that all Date Prospects should pass screening, don’t you? Good.

Hearty: Thank you, your honor.

Brainy: And most important thing. We still have the Zero Dating Goal. Eyesy, stop rolling, and Facey, don’t frown like that, baka mahipan ka ng masamang hangin.

Remember when we fell in line to ride a roller coaster? I told everypart that it is unreasonable, in fact, insane, to wait for hhhouuurrss just to experience less than fifteen minutes of joyous fear.

Hearty: Yes your honor, naalala ko yon. At naaalala ko rin na sinabi nyo, after nung ride, that it was worth the wait.

Brainy: Yes, I said that. And I’m telling it to you again. I know Dating him would be meaningful and fulfilling, but just like falling in line for the coaster ride, falling in love means to Wait too.

Hearty: I understand your Honor. You’re handling this pretty well. I’m glad you won in Body Election.

Brainy: I’m glad too. Its hard, but we all know I need to fulfill the responsibility, lest Birdy will take charge, hahaha. We don’t like that to happen, do we? Like what’s happening with some of the guys out there.

Hearty: Hahaha.

Brainy: n_n Ok, if there are no more issues, meeting adjourned. Have you got all that, Handy?

Handy: Yes sir. But if I may add… I like to say I’m eagerly looking forward to holding somebody else’s hand at night, instead of just fooling around with Birdy.

Brainy: Hehehe. We will come to that. Ok, everyparts, back to work.

Stomach: Sa wakas! Kain na tayo, gutom na ko.

Meeting adjourned ast 1255H
Minutes by Handy

Dahil mag-isa lang si Miko sa office, regular na nakikipagmeeting ang utak nya sa ibang parte ng katawan, basta lang ba may makausap. Pasalamat kay Engr. Tolentino para sa titulo.

Tatlong Bj

2008-10-14T23:06:00.000-07:00

Nakatatlong BJ ako.
Dalawa sa umaga,
At isa sa hapon.

At bakit hindi?
Maliban sa masarap na sariwang juice,
Malinamnam din naman ang meat.

Eto ang masarap gawin
Lalo na pag nalasing.

Later ko na found out na marami palang mapapala sa BJ-

1. Mabilis na treatment for exhaustion at hang-over. Ang potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium levels nito ay makakapagreplace ng nawalang electrolytes sa katawan.

2. Meron itong mataas na antas ng Lauric acid. Isang mabisang anti-viral, anti-fungal at anti-bacterial liquid.

3. At isa pa (kadahilan siguro kaya ako hyperactive), naiistimulate nito ang pagrelease ng thyroidal hormones, na nagiging sanhi ng mabilis na metabolic rate, at siempre, high energy levels.

Totoo ngang the Coconut Tree is a the Tree of Life, dahil ibinibigay nya ang masustansya at murang Buko Juice.

So ano pang hinihintay nyo, BJ na!

hehehe, walang mapost, so i put-up my profile. n_n

Warren

2008-09-26T01:43:00.000-07:00

‘Di ko noon nakayang ipadama sa’yo
Ang nararamdaman ng pusong ito

He looks good. Aminado ako don. Bagay sa kanya ang goatee, para hindi sya magmukang masyadong bata. Magaling kumanta. Ayos, disenteng, pumorma. Hindi ako mahihiyang siya ang kauna-unahang lalaki na ipapakilala ko sa mga barkada ko as my “date”.

At hanggang ngayon ay naalala pa
Muntik na kitang minahal

Ang lakas ng tawa ko ng marinig ko sa kanya ang salitang “I Love You”. Pangalawang gabi palang naming magkasama. Hindi ako naniniwala sa pag-ibig na ganoon kabilis.

“You cannot love who you do not truly know,” paliwanag ko sa kanya. Hindi ako ang sinasabihan nya ng pagmamahal, kundi ang ilusyon na ginawa nya about me. Sinabi nya na ipapakita nya daw na totoo ang pagmamahal nya. Hihintayin nya raw ako.

Ngayon ay aamin ko na
Na sana nga ay tayong dalawa

Six hours ang kadalasan nyang pag-hihintay sa labas ng office ko pagkatapos ng klase nya. Kakain lang kami. Maglalakad sa baywalk, tatambay sa CCP, bago ko sya ihatid sa sakayan ng bus pauwing Bulacan. Madalas syang magbigay ng regalo tulad ng damit. Pero hindi ko naman hiningi yon. Masaya at kontento na akong kasama sya. Sa bahay sya nagbisperas ng pasko at bagong-taon.

Bawat tanong mo’y iniwasan ko
Akala ang pag-ibig mo’y di totoo

Pero sa tuwing sasabihin nyang mahal nya ako, “salamat” lang ang naisasagot ko. Nakikita ko naman sa kanya na seryoso sya. Pero pag binitawan ko rin ang salitang pag-ibig, mangangahulugan yon ng kapalit ng kalayaan ko. Pero hindi ko naisip na ang espasyong pinahahalagan ko, hindi pala tutumbas sa inuukopahan nya.

Di ko alam kung anong nangyari
Damdamin ko sa ‘yo’y di ko nasabi

Nalasing ako sa isang inuman. Nawalan ng control at naging mahina. Nahimasmasan lang ako ng makita ko syang nakatayo sa pinto, nakatingin sa akin habang hinahanap ko ang shorts ko, may ibang kasama sa kwarto na hubad din. Hinabol ko sya, at ng maabutan, tinanggap ko lahat ng suntok. Pero mas masakit ang mga salitang binitawan nya kaysa sa kamaong sinalo ko…

“May nagmamahal sa ‘king iba… pero ikaw ang pinili ko… kasi mahal kita! Pero ginago mo ko… tang-ina naman.” Iyak sya ng iyak. At kahit hindi sya maniwala, dumugo ng oras na yon ang puso ko.

Hanggang ang puso mo’y napagod
Sa paghihintay kaytagal

Nagkaayos din kami. At natutunan kong ilaan sa kanya ang atensyon at pag-aalaga na deserved nya. Pero parang hindi na sya tulad ng dati. May lamig na ang dating mainit nyang pagtingin.

At pagkagaling ko sa isang business trip, sinabi nyang hindi nya na ako kayang pakisamahan… na mahal nya na ang bestfriend ko. Ang bestfriend kong pinagsasabihan nya ng sama ng loob tungkol sa min. Ang bestfriend ko na sumuporta sa kanya.

Ang sakit. Kung kailan handa na ko, kung kailan ibibigay ko na sa kanya ang lahat.

Pero pinakita ko na matibay ako hanggang sa huli. Hinarap ko sila ng parang wala lang. At ng matalo ako sa isang laro, binigay sa aking dare na ikwento ko ang isang bagay na pinagsisisihan ko. Sabi ko, kakantahin ko na lang.

Kinanta ko ng buo, sa harap ng barkada. Nakahiga sya, ang ulo nya nakaunan sa hita ng bestfriend ko. Hindi ko napigilan ang luha.

Saka ko lang naisip
muntik na kitang minahal...

Blogtasan: Traditional VS Bloggermania

2008-09-19T18:00:00.000-07:00

LAKANDIWA

Magandang araw sa lahat, masugid na mambabasa
Isa pong Blogtalastasan, sinikap kong inihanda:
Ang Traditional na Media, noon pa man ay subok na,
Laban sa uso at bagong Blogging – ‘to ang ating paksa.

Sa Traditional na Media, mga bagay na kasama
Dyaryo, radio at magazine, pati TV ay ang bida.
Sa kabilang panig naman, sinasabing BloggerMania
Dahil sa murang internet, nararating din ang masa.

Pagdating sa journalism, ano ba ang naaangkop?
Blogs na likha ng Netizen, doon ba tayo tututok?
O manatili sa luma, tradisyunal na at subok?
Halina’t ating alamin, bawal ang aantok-antok.

TRADITIONAL

Mayroon pa bang uubra, sa pahayag na tradisyon.
Masusing pagbabalita, ganap na imbestigasyon,
Mahigpit na pagsusuri, paglakap ng impormasyon,
Totohanang paglalahad, sinusumpaang propesyon.

Ikaw ba ay makikinig, sa taong ‘di mo kilala
At ang kanyang sinasabi, pagbasehan mo ng pasya?
Sa reporter na kilala, reputasyon ay subok na,
Sa walang kredibilidad, tayo na ay dumistansya.

BLOGOSPHERE
Will you say that is credible… ang news na pinagbibili?
And blogs that are cheap and free, at the same time walang puri?
You got it the wrong way, my friend, regarding credibility
For Old Media ay bumenta, balita ay pinipili.

‘Coz reporters are bayaran, many can be easily bought
“Say good things about our product, I’ll give you more than your sahod,”
Unlike our concerned Netizens-> they worked, they wrote, they voiced, they stood,
Kahit walang bayad or “thanks”, they continue for the sake of Truth.

TRADITIONAL
Aba, wag kang magmalinis, ani mo’y walang napala,
Dahil din sa patalastas, ikaw rin ay kumikita,
Lahat ng sulok ng blogs mo, logo ng ibang kumpanya,
Laman ng latha mo, pili… Para sikat, magkakwarta.

‘Di tulad naming reporters, panganib ay sinusuong,
Kahit sa gitna ng g’yera, buong tapang na nandoon,
Di mapipigil, ilan mang death threats at kidnap for ransom,
Samantalang mga bloggers, kampante sa kanilang “room”.

BLOGOSPHERE
Which is reliable, ang nagtatanong o dumadanas?
As reporters ask their questions, ang oras ay lumilipas,
Writing, editing, at proofreading bago nila ilabas,
While the offender and victim posted blog, video, or podcast.

Why in your frontpage, always na lang balitang kumakaway,
Kung hindi famous na pulitiko, litrato ng bangkay,
Your news are sensationalized, all the time na lang may away,
While we bloggers, we post ‘bout almusal hanggang questions of LIFE.

TRADITIONAL
Bakit namin iimprenta tsismis ng kapitbahay nyo,
Kung meron namang tungkol sa Bwayang nahuli sa Damo?
Bakit ibo-broadcast ang bagong tirintas ng aso mo,
Hindi ba’t pasikip lamang, ‘yong basura sa publiko?

Kaming mga alagad at tagapaglingkod ng masa
Latha’y serbisyong totoo, sa kapuso’t kapamilya,
Magsiwalat ng mali, o maggawad ng gantimpala,
Iangat ang kamalayan, ito’y aming tanging nasa

BLOGOSPHERE
Duh! Sinong niloloko mo? Ratings lang ang iyong gusto.
Trail blazing news, you paused, then commercial ay ihahalo.
The wrongdoers, you blackmail first, if no pay, sumbong, xa talo,
Please spare me the bola, hindi poh ganyan ang serbisyo.

Hindi tulad namin, we write to express and not to impress,
May readers man o wala, we type away, we post regardless
Wala kaming target market. Figures and trends we don’t asses,
This is my outlet, my life, my self, my soul. Cursed man me or blessed. ^_^

TRADITIONAL
Pagkamakasarili, sa iyong latha nakikita,
Basta makapagsulat, walang paki sa mambabasa,
Kalapastangan sa pagkatha, brutal na balarila
Si Webster man o Quezon, parehas kang itatatwa.

BLOGOSPHERE
Gosh, personalan na to, niyayari pati style ko,
Function over form, this is more correct, di lang nauuso,
Superficial writing, yan lang naman ang panlalaban mo
Pero ‘bout contents, my dear, kaming readers naman ang talo

TRADITIONAL
Matabil na bata, sarili’y tignan bago mangutya.,
Usapin na walang kwenta, sa sulatin mo ay sadya

BLOGOSPHERE
Buong katotohan ng Life, may kwenta man o wala,
Bigay ko, at hindi benta, sa masa aking gawa

TRADITIONAL
Kay Cesar ay kay Cesar, balitang tunay, dapat lang - bayad

BLOGOSPHERE
True service comes from the heart. News, talks, videos - libre lang dapat

TRADITIONAL
Sa balita, kami’y sapat!

BLOGOSPHERE
But in Life, you are kulelat!

LAKANDIWA (Paghahatol)
Sandali lang, awat muna! Ako naman ang bibida.
Kayong dalawa’y tumahimik, sa sulok magpalamig muna
Makinig kayo sa hatol, alamin ang aming pasya,
Traditional ba or Blogging? Ano ba ang mas mabisa?

Traditional na balita, produkto ng korporasyon,
Sa pagganap ng serbisyo, alagad ay isang lupon,
Nakakapagduda ang lathain dahil bayad ang propesyon,
Pero nakikita, sining ay nalinang at puno ng aksyon

Ang blogging naman libre, lahat ay isinasali,
Tsismis man ‘to o totoo, malimit na pinipili,
Ang ibang gawa may kalidad, ang iba nama’y irresponsible,
Kahit ano nilalagay, masama man o mabuti

Sa simulang panunuri, mukhang Masa ang natalo
Kapos ang kalidad ng Blog, at lugi ang peryodiko
Pero di magpapabaya, mam’mahayag na totoo
Ang Passion, Skills at Talent, sa masa iseserbisyo.

At sa ating pagtatapos, kayo na lang ang maghusga,
Sa laban nitong dalawa, sino ang dapat magbida?
Dahil sa aking paningin, patas at walang duda,
Parehas silang may hina, at lakas na ibubuga!

Tumble Turn

2008-09-14T22:59:00.000-07:00

“You need to learn to exhale, through your nose, for 5 seconds.”
-------------Random Instructions I Got From Life

I’ve been swimming since I was kid. And sa school na pinasukan ko nung college, 2 semester ang required na swimming class (basic and advance). Pero last Saturday, around 4pm, dun ko lang nakita ng personal ang tumble-turn.

One of the trainees here in my workplace executed it gracefully. Siguro, it was one of Fate’s Grand Design for them to join me sa weekly swimming routine ko. And again, Life conspired for me to witness and learn.

I learned (and I’m getting better at this) to swallow my pride, and ask for instructions, kahit na mas mataas ang position (job) ko sa nagtuturo sa akin.

…that expelling carbon dioxide thru your nose prevents the water from going in, like removal of garbage from your life prevents other unwanted trash to come.

…to tighten up (bow your head, clip your knees near your chest), and brace yourself for the tumble and turn.

…that your hands should wave opposite of your turn, dahil balancing can make you stable, and prevents your head from hitting the wall.

…and that chlorine hurts your eyes, but still you need it open. And , next time, to buy yourself a goggle if you can.

…and that you can’t perfect it the first time, and that water will get into your mouth, into your nose, into your ears. But the more you do it, the lesser it (pain, suffering) happens.

…and after a LOT of hours, two red eyes, clogged ears and bloated tummy, you pull yourself out of the pool grinning…

You have that inner smile, not because there is a cutie in the pool, but because you learned… and that a hard-on didn’t count, coz what mattered is you’ve actually, genuinely grown.

Best Advice from Jank en Pon

2008-09-10T18:05:00.000-07:00

Hindi ko talaga personal na kakilala si Jack, o kaya si Poy, pero marami akong natutunan sa kanila.

Dahil sa giyera nung panahon ng hapon, nakarating si Jack en Poi sa ‘pinas. Janken ang original na pangalan nito, at minsan, tinatawag din Janken Pon. Ito ay base sa naunang dalawang Ken games – San Sukumi Ken ng Japan at Suu Ken (shoushiling) ng China. Naimbento ito bandang 19^th century.

“Janken Pon

acchi muite hoi”

-------------Janken Original Chant

Hindi ko alam kung paano naging Jack en Poy ang Jaken Pon, at kung bakit ang talo ay unggoy, pero maraming bagay akong nalaman.

Nalaman ko na sa halip ng mahaba at walang kwentang argumento, maari din namang pagdesisyon ang pagtatalo sa pamamagitan ng Jaken Pon. Gusto nya comedy, gusto ko horror = Jacken Pon. Gusto nya malling, gusto ko camping = Jacken Pon. Gusto nya sya ang top, gusto ko ako ang top = ako ang top, its nonnegotiable. Hehehe.

Nalaman ko rin hindi all the time, you need just to cut, or just break, or just cover-up. Pipilitin ka ng Jaken Pon na maging flexible, dahil kung hindi, sigurado ang pagkatalo mo.

“If the only tool you have is a hammer,

You tend to treat everything as a nail”

-------------Abraham Maslow, Miko’s Collected Quotes

Nalaman ko na sa larong ito, kailangan mo ng swerte, kaalaman sa personalidad ng kalaban mo, at tiwala sa intuition mo.

At higit sa lahat, nalaman ko maging masaya, tumawa, mag-enjoy – manalo man o matalo. At nalaman ko to try again, and again.

Pero may mga tao pa ring makikipagtalo ng walang katapusan para sa pipitsuging bagay na gusto nila. May mga umiibig sa iisang uri ng tao, at magtataka kung bakit laging parehas ang kinahihinatnan ng relasyon nila. May mga tao ng matalo ay umiyak, at may mga huminto ng sumubok at may mga tao na hindi na naglaro muli.

Itinuturo talaga ng Jaken Pon, na sa laro ng buhay, ang matalo ay unggoy. Sana maglaro tayong lahat. =)

Anu Na?

2008-09-04T17:21:00.000-07:00

Sa mga nagtatanong kung buhay pa ko, yup, some aspect of my life still exist.

Work Life
Nakaka 2 months na ko in an office setting (again). Nagtatrabaho ako ngaun sa isang isolated community sa bundok, together with around 1000 people. 80% sa kanila, sumasaludo sa kin, bwahahah(evil laugh). Barya lang ang sahod, but it appeals to my god-complex. Hehehe.

Though my micro-business did not actually fail, hindi naman xa kumita according to my expectations. Na-achieve ko lang ang goal ko of learning what competencies I still lack. After a year or two, subok uli ako sa business. For now, I need a steady flow of cash.

Student Life
After work, diretso ako sa school. I’m taking required subjects para makapag masteral ng business administration. Taena, kakapagod. Parang dapat naka-dextrose ako lagi ng kape with extra-joss para daigin ko ang energizer rabbit.

Kung siga ako sa work, alipin naman ako ng isang all-powerful teacher. Subject: Accounting. Sabi nya, normal daw sa nag-aaral ng accounting ang nagsasalita mag-isa at laging kulang ang tulog. Terrifying dreams of turning into Smeagol / Gollum filled my nights after that comment. Pero I like that teacher nonetheless, hehehe, lalo na pag nag i-ego-trip sya. Hehehe.

Family Life
Well, my Sis informed me that Mam told Pap… that I.. uhm.. different. Hehehe. He still in abroad right now, at tuwing tatawag sya, hindi kami nag-uusap tulad ng dati. Mukang nahihirapan syang tanggapin na kaya hindi ako nakakabuntis dahil walang matris ang nakakaulayaw ko. Pap badly, pleadingly asked me to make a grandchild for him. Sorry to disappoint you Pap. Hingi na lang kayo dun sa isa kong kapatid na lalaki. I’m pretty sure he’s straight. Hhehehe.

Love Life
Bwahahaha! Sa mga pumusta ng 3, 4 or 5 months, talo na kayo!!! I’m on my 157th day of Zero Dating. Hehehe. Sa Sept 29, makaka half-year na ko. Hahahahehehehuhuhuhu. Taena, ang hirap. I terribly miss someone I can laugh with, cry with, fight with, make up with, to walk hand in hand with, be argue, to talk with. Hala, kumanta na. hehehe.

Effective ang Miko’s Manual ko regarding How to Avoid Dating, hehehe. Pwede ko kaya itong ipa-patent? :P

That’s it. Summary ng isang kwento sa buhay ni Miko for the past few weeks. Catch you all later. =)

Kissing Dating Goodbye

2008-08-18T22:39:00.000-07:00

Part 1: The Rationale

Oo na, sige, aminado na ako, I’ve been a serial-dater. But most of what I had were just casual dates. Meet-ups lang. Friendly getting-to-know convertsation. It doesn’t always end up in bed, but some serious ones began on it. Hehehe.

Isang guy sa multiply ang nagbansag sa akin na I’m an elimidater. And for the umpteenth time, sorry uli. Hindi ko talaga sinasadya na pagsabay-sabayin i-meet ang pang 7:30, ang pang 8:00, ang pang 8:30, etc nang 10:00pm when I visited your city. Nagkataon lang talaga na naextend ang pinapagawa ng boss ko. And knowing na I had to flew back by morning, kailangan ko talagang magpokus on who I want to spend that entire night with. Hahaha. (ouch, I’m already saying sorry, no need to stomp on my tail everyone).

But times do change. At sa maniwala man kayo o hindi, may mga gabing nagpapapuyat sa akin ang Little Voice, telling me to seek personal growth, and that having a hard-on doesn’t count.

This same pesky voice had been annoying me since time immemorial. Na kesyo mas maganda daw at normal ang gumising ng 6:00am kesa magsimulang matulog. At mas productive nga naman na i-spend ang 90% computer use sa work kesa magsurf/chat sa dating sites. Na mas healthy ang ratio of 4:1 ng food vs beer kesa other way around.

At dahil kakatapos lang ng 2nd Longest Dating ko (staggering 13 months), which frustratingly ended badly, I think its about time I listen. And so, I come up with this project I will go into details on my following posts. Antagal ko na rin namang hindi gumagawa ng series.

I know this project won’t get me a Noble prize, lalo namang hindi ako magkakaron ng ginintuang hoola-hoop sa tuktuk ng ulo ko. Definitely somebody will throw irritating insults and dubious laughs. I don't care. I just think, somehow, that this quote really matters:

“Plant your own garden,
And decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting [seeking] someone
To bring you flowers”
-------------Veronica Shoffstall, After A While

Hehehe, kaya for one year, I will do just that. Mag garden ng self. Sana after, I can find that guy who I can annoy for the rest of my life with.
Wish me luck! =)

What's In a Name, That Makes It a Rose?

2008-08-04T18:40:00.001-07:00

My given name is Michaelle S. Legaspi. Yes, mukang Michelle ang spelling I’ve been jested on this countless times. Gusto daw kasi ng parents ko na Michael ang pangalan, pero malas daw ang 7 letters sa panganay na anak (according to my granny) kaya dinagdagan nila ng extra two letters. Upon further analysis, I found that etymology of Michael rooted from the name M’HaEl literally means “Who as God” Remember Michael Archangel? Most angels end with EL in their names like Gabriel, Uriel, Zepkiel, etc. Since meron extra “le” sa pangalan ko, hehehe, I have the balance between the angel and the devil.

Nung bata ako, “King” ang palayaw ko. Hindi ko pa natatanong kung bakit ganon ang tawag sa kin ng tito at tita ko. May tumatawag sa kin ng “Mike”, meron “Kel”, at “Mikee (mayki)”

Sa academy, tinawag naman akong “Legs” dahil sa apelyido ko. Then may tumatawag sa kin na “Raguel” (meaning tagapaghiganti ng Panginoon) dahil sa isang mahabang kwento ko tungkol sa isang detective angel na si Raguel ang bida. Then Raistlin naman ang tawag sa kin ng mga kalaro ko ng roleplaying games.

I have this close friend na sa six years naming pagkakaibigan ay samu’t-saring pangalan na ang tinawag sa kin. Tinawag nya akong “chopstikz” dahil ang payat ko daw. Tapos pinalitan nya ng “caterpie” dahil takot ako sa bulate. Pagpinaparamdam nya sa kin ang pagiging kuya tuwing pagagalitan nya ko, tawag nya sa kin ay “mi-ke-li-to” na lagi pang may nauunang “hoy”. “Hoy mikelito, ayusin mo nga buhay mo!” Hehehe. Ang latest na tawag nya ngaun ay “badz”. Don’t ask.

With all the names I had, yung ngaun ang pinakagusto ko. Miko. Ito ang tinawag sa kin ng boss kong japon dahil meron ng “Mike” dito sa opisina. Miko rin ang character ko sa online game na KHAN. At ang religion ko eh “mikology” (more about that next time).

So remember it. Miko. Yan ang pangalan ng future boyfriend mo.

Toinks!
