Kumares! [05.2012]

Medyo napapadalas na ang bonding ng mga bakla. Maybe we’re just making the most of it habang di pa gaanong toxic ang mga buhay-buhay namin. So ang ganap, siyempre LAFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!

Sa Swanny’s naman kami for a change. Parang di na natatapos ang catch up moments namin.

Tama nga naman si Anti Swanny, good food for good life at dahil jan, na-inspire kami magpaka healthy. Sa order palang, Ceasar salad, tuna, ham, at ang walang pakundangang order ni @mattalamo na FUNGI. Actually, may first name pa naman etong si fungi, diko lang maalala.

The story of the FUNGI.
Bilang nurses kami na may background sa microbiology, malamang ang basa mo sa menu na may pasta na “fungi” eh i-popronounce mo ng FOON-JAY. Pero si Ateh, best in correction, FOON-JI daw. hahahaha

While waiting, fichuraz muna…

Para may moral lesson din naman akong mai-share sa blog ko, here’s one example. Etong si Anti, nawala nya ang itouch nya. Pero after a few days, yung nawala, nagkaroon ng kapalit! Oh di ba? Anong point ko? WALA! Choz. Ang loss mo naman kung di mo alam. (nang-aaway?) Okay fine, parang sa buhay lang yan. Things/people come and go, but, don’t judge the book by its cover pag patay na ang kabayo (Anu daw?) .

Okay fine serious na. Yun nga, you may lose things, people, opportunities but that doesn’t mean that you stop there. Just learn to accept it, and go on with life! And when you least expect it, kung ano mang nawala sa iyo, mas bongga pa ang kapalit! Good karma, good vibes.

Nakakatuwa lang itong bell na itey. So magbebell ka lang kung me kelangan ka? So old school donya-donyahan lang ang peg. Pero the Las Vegas print reminded us of Nina. Sana in a few years, sa Las Vegas naman kami magchikahan para mapanindigan na ang ka-donyahan

And what a coincidence! Me kano din. Timing. Is this a sign? Are we finally gonna live the american dream? …. Eto po si Zenaida Seva nagsasabing “Hindi hawak ng mga bituin ang ating kapalaran. Gabay lamang sila. Meron tayong freewill, gamiting natin ito” #charaught

Parang black lang ang peg namin. Here with the Becks. @mattalamo @frncspuffy

Funny lang how we took advantage of their bottomless lemonade. Literal na refill ng refill kahit wala nang foodang. haha. Chika chika lang. :)

We actually planned a long time ago in Bethlehem to go to Jacobs (or is it Joshua?) spa to try their massage. Keri lang siya guys. Newly opened and Affordable and ok naman ang ambiance, ang service but I think it would be best if you go at night time mga 11pm para sarado na. Hahaha. Last full show nila is 9pm, para di masyadong mainit, and sakto borlog kana after. At ang maganda, sa halagang 250 pesos lang, may 1 hour massage kana with free tea (na kulang ng sugar kasi organic nga ang peg mo)

image

You have the choice kung gusto mo outside/open space or sa may airconditioned room.

image

Their spa is more on the natural chuva ecklavoo. Organic ang peg nila. They have other offers so you could just inquire. They’re located at Pengue, before the airport. (nagpromote?) May shower room, locker, slippers and boxer shorts na boxer ang tatak. Redundant lang?

image

After massage, nagpost con kami. Haha. Labasan ng sama ng loob sa masseuse. Choz! Feeling lang namin para kaming mga matrona, mag kukumare, companyera. Kung makautos naman kami feel na feel.

Feeling ko may imaginary friend si Naj sa tabi nya. Parang me kausap ka kumare! Ano yan auditory or visual?

image

Waw. Lumelegs si Anne! haha

image

image

image

Anne, nagtataray? Naj, sabi ko nga ba eh!!!! Pakilala mo kami jan sa friend mong yan! :))))))))))))))))))))))))

image

Anne: Sarap ng hair ko!
Me: 30w p0#z
Naj: LOL

image

May photobomber! Manang istorbo you!

image

Okay orayt.

image

Naj, lumipat ba ung friend mo ng pwesto? hahaha

image

Anne: Weeeeeeeeeh

Cyberspace and friends and brawls. [04.2013]

It sometimes amazes me how people easily disclose information online. I mean, I know I do at times. But, as I read a lot of too personal posts, I also think and wonder how people may react to mine.

Yes cyberspace has served as a venue for airing and expressing everything. It has transformed into an online diary and a bag full of emotions and exposed secrets. You’ll see happiness, despair, hope, grief, success, anger, and many more. But as they say, although we are free to post anything we like, we still have to be responsible of whatever we post since everyone can read and repost and quote you. That’s why I strongly support GMA7’s campaign of “Think before you click”.

And the effect of our freedom of expression, is, although some may not admit, bullying and hurting other people. Even our little comments could mean a lot to a person. I am speaking of my own experience because, I admit, I do have the tendency to be too critical of others, especially public figures. I also make fun of them sometimes and although there’s a sort of enjoyment on my part, at the end of the day, I realize, what if it’s the other way around? Am I hurting other people?

I have been inactive at facebook for the past months because I sometimes think I’m reading “TMI”. And what I don’t enjoy reading are online arguments of friends or different parties. I think it’s kind of immature to fight/ argue online where a lot of people can see your issues which are meant to be yours and yours alone.

When you’re mad, you need to vent. We can use our online sites to breathe out frustrations, it helps, but also, there’s a limit. If you’re at war with someone, hate posts might make you feel better. But does that make you a better and mature person? Better, maybe. Mature? Definitely not. You hate him/her, you tell it to his/her face, not on facebook or twitter or IG or anywhere. He/she did something wrong to you, hurt you, betray you? Give it time and when everyone’s ready, talk it out, confront instead of broadcasting it online. Because we’re human, and we make mistakes. It’s not an excuse, but we can’t always be judged by our mistakes. And we can’t be judged by how other people refer to you on their personal posts.

We also get too involved with others issues at times, especially when the people involved are our friends. And as a friend, we have to fight for our friend right? We have to be behind them; Support, comfort and give them relief. But, we also have to be fair, think critically and pacify. Especially, when we’re in the middle of two friends fighting. We don’t have to choose sides, but we don’t have to make things worse either. Like putting more fuel into an already huge fire. You are in a better position to see and understand each side, and not to cross the line to the extent that it’s like you’ve switched places with the aggrieved party. And with the intention of doing the right thing, you’re only making things more complicated, and the whole world knows about it.

I am writing this now, because I’ve been in a similar situation, and I am seeing same things happening to other people, personally and online. I just wish we reflect on the things we post, and stop being so tactless and closed minded about it. We maybe scarred, but our scars won’t heal by scarring others in return. And our words, are very powerful, that once said, can never be taken back. Let’s all be responsible, and also sensitive. And let’s put this new found freedom in cyberspace to good use.

FIN.

Just a few minutes before I made this entry, was a vehicular accident.

It was a van versus tricycle. The van was on the right lane, while the latter, was obviously drunk and went straight into the van’s bumper. We all heard the brake and boom sound so we went out to check out what happened.

We arrived at the crime scene with the tricycle turned upside down. Being the nurse that I am, I was trying to assess if the person’s still alive or not. I could not go near him and as much as I want to give him first aid cause I can’t meddle with the “crime scene”. I tried to wait for the police, but 30 minutes passed and still no one responded. Valuing every minute that is lost to try to save whatever we could for the man inside, I made the effort to call the nearest hospital for ambulance. I got a hold of the operator, and then to the emergency room. I had the chance to speak to a Male nurse I guess, asking him if they could send an ambulance blah blah blah. He cut me mid sentence and asked me to wait. Then he passed the phone to a woman, which I presume was the senior nurse and relayed the information. I was expecting for a prompt response but she reasoned out instead. She told me they had a lot of patients, and the ambulance was blah blah blah blah. Bottom line is, no help was coming. And what’s irritating is that “Kayo nalang magdala dito, di namin maasikaso pumunta pa diyan”.

WTF!!!!!!!!

After a few more minutes, the police finally arrived, did the standard procedure of getting the details of the incident. I tried to wait patiently for them to complete their initial assessment. There was 2 of them, so one was tasked of interviewing the people involved so I guess the other was on the scene perse. The other guy just kept on flashing the light on the victim, and then talk to people, actually had time to crack a joke, and then flash another light and then go around. I could only take so much!

I tried my best to sound calm and asked them “Ano Sir, hindi niyo pa ba aasikasuhin yung tao sa loob? Pumapatak yung oras”. Finally! Common sense hit them and they finally had the initiative to turn the tricycle down and rush the victim to the hospital.

Now it’s 11:40 and I’m still hyped and my bloods boiling! Imagine all the time wasted to lessen whatever damage and injury the victim incurred! Our system sucks, seriously. I don’t want to generalize but if that’s how these people respond to emergency situations, then they should be partly blamed why there are increased casualties! These people should be trained and disciplined well.

I wish those candidates who are able to spend for their air time would also make a move to spend for the improvement of their people. Or at least, get them in touch with their compassionate side, if there’s any, so that they would learn how to at least show concern.

Argh. Still so pissed. Hmp. Bye!
