i received this text message yesterday from an unknown number:


i didn't know who the sender was. so i was thinking the sender was:
(a) a member of UCCP (which i also belong to), or
(b) a friend back in manila

i asked who he/she was but the sender did not reply back.

anyway, so i decided that maybe i should watch the news instead after work. i know who bishop pascua is and i also was curious.

i sure did catch bishop pascua but he served as a witness of some sort. and he was there just sitting though i did not quite catch what he had to say. maybe some other time though.

but i did some other things while i was in front of the tv. i took my camera and started snapping at whatever was of interest to me. and because my camera was running out of juice, i decided to take quite only a few ones.

please forgive me for the real poor quality of photographs. i'm no professional. so....


bing loyzaga and janno gibbs had said that they had been receiving death threats and had been stalked. then they had the police involved and they caught this girl. she's 17 years old and she says she has got this "relationship" going on with janno. though janno says that he knows the girl as one of his fans who goes to his shows and to his gigs. i don't know though what's the real score but i don't really care. (the stalker, by the way, is the girl whose face is hidden behind the pillow not the person smiling behind.)




the debate was not planned but mike defensor and alan peter cayetano did go ahead and join in. well, if i were to vote for one of these two candidates, i'd surely be going for cayetano. i don't like "tol" for all i care. he just seems like one of those "wannabe" politicians who... basta. i don't want to talk about this anymore. sorry 'tol. don't like you. not one bit. i won't be voting for cayetano though. i've not been able to register. hehe.




this is a member of the singing firefighters. there are four of them and they call their band The Firefly Band. haha. wala lang. just made me laugh. anyway, they go from one place to another wooing the crowd with their songs and at the same time telling them about what to do in case a fire breaks out. they would also be informing those who have been listening on what they should do so that a fire would not start up and eat up their house and their belongings. well, kudos to you firefly band!




sunshine cruz, the wife of actor cesar montano, speaks about the hardships that they are going through at present. cesar is running for senator for these round of elections. i personally do admire cesar for being an actor but not as a politician. i mean, senator? why don't you start by being a barangay captain first, or something? and now sunshine is saying that they are now having to make do with what they have and are having a hard time financing the whole campaign so much so that cesar montano wins. it was also mentioned that they now have realized that the world of showbusiness is a far cry from the world of politics. god. they only knew about that just now?




a couple of days back, the news told all about the raid of satur ocampo's home. they were there to arrest the bayan muna representative to the congress. and they are charging him of the murders which happened years and years back. i'm not so aware of what really happened but if it happened that so long ago, why are they now just broadcasting it at present? because it is the time for election? and because these opponents do know that bayan muna is once again strong enough to own a seat in the house? well, satur has already shown himself through youtube. and all i can say is, satur, you rock!




this guy is a call center agent. and the news said that he died because of the stress that he gets from his job. uh-oh. call center alert. still want to work in a call center now? haha. i've had enough of call centers. to all those who're working in call centers, all i can say is... (as john lloyd says) INGAT! as if biogesic would cure stress. haha.

i can't believe it!

i checked my atm and i found out that i had money. yahoo! now i can most certainly buy the computer that i want. and i'll be able to have internet connected at home. yahoo! (ulit.)

at least, i can see what things i've been spending on. well, i do know that i have been spending on my baby. just look at how fat and bubbly and bright he is. but as for material things, i can only see this 1100 and the digicam that i bought. the rest of my money is... i don't know where. and don't make me recall where i spent it.

i am just so excited on having my own computer. at least, i can work from home and when i have tons of work in the office, i can bring them home and do them there. i would be wasting electricity at home, but come to think of it, i would be able to relax (and that's one thing that i have not been able to do these past few weeks).

i am just so excited. i'm just waiting for the incentive to come and i'm off to denver's! care to accompany me? haha.

yes. i'm much too overworked (i think) and i wanna go to manila.

you may be saying that manila is not a haven of beach and sand and sea and paradise but could be actually a concoction of loud noises, never-ending traffic jams, and hurried people. but i do love manila the way it is. that's why when i need to unwind and relax, manila is the place to be for me.

what do i miss in manila?
* the freedom
* my friends
* my orgmates
* the hustle and bustle of life
* the colors and the sounds
* my former housemates (big brother, ikaw ba yan?)
* my org
* my alma mater
* isaw and fishball
* vinzons hall
* kwek-kwek
* cheese sticks
* and a whole lot more!

if you're really that kind, could you spare me some change? i mean, change enough for me to buy tickets to manila and back? please?

so. i've been going over the internet and guess what i clicked into? yes. kabataan partylist pictures. and yes, i'd like you guys to vote for them.



i guess this is part of a cultural presentation or something during the event.



i think these are some of the people behind the kabataan partylist. i do know though that mong is one of them. and that the partylist's nominees are raymond "mong" palatino, enrico "rico" almonguerra, mary francis "pancit" veloso, clarissa "claring" singson, mark louise galanga, and angela colmenares. (i took the names right out of here. hehe. so i'm no genius.)



another presentation i guess.



the very best part of all. that's atom and giba. haha. atom and giba. when they're together, they're like the opposites. skin color. height. atom is quite not so talkative while giba is ever the opposite. atom is not so hyper while giba is hyper to the highest level. haha. i miss giba though. i also miss atom. haha. (hindi na. hindi ko na siya type.)

thanks, by the way, to arkibong bayan for these pictures.

can you? can you? can you?

i know you can.

it's just too much and my emotions are just plain too easy to see.

i know you can.

don't deny that you don't see (or feel) the smile on my face.

i'm just happy. too happy for my own good.
