I Really Don't Know...Peksman!!!!

Gaano karaming tanong ang kayang dalhin ng isang tao? May sagot man o wala, gaano karami ang kaya mong i-handle sa isang araw? Sa isang linggo kaya? For the past five days, lahat na yata ng uri ng tanong ay naibato na sa akin. From the simple to the complex, from casual to personal, from basic to technical, may sense man o wala, kahit na quetions within a question, ay naisampal na sa akin.

Ayos lang sana kung hindi sabay-sabay kaya lang paano kung palibutan ka nito. Halos mapuno ng post-it ang buong desk ko. Yung monitor ko, naging isang monitor ng post-it. Ang mesa ko ay post-it. Ang divider ko ay post-it. Pag bukas ko ng mga libro, may post-it. Pag tinanggal ko ang isang post-it para basahin, may post-it pang nakatago sa likod. Iba-iba ang kulay, iba-iba ang brand at iba-iba ang handwriting. Hulaan nyo ngayon kung ano ang laman ng basurahan ko. At higit sa lahat ay mahiwaga ang mga post-it na ito dahil para silang kabuti na bigla na lang dumarami. Tanggalin ang isa at magiging dalawa. Magtanggal ka uli ng isa at magiging apat. Pero post-it pa lang yan. Hindi ko na isasama ang mga phone calls, text messages at "personal appearances" na natanggap ko dahil baka mahilo na kayo.

Pero kahit na binomba ako ng mga tanong, sinubukan ko talagang sagutin lahat dahil wala ka namang magagawa. The only choice you have is to make an answer. At dito ako naliwanagan na sa lahat ng mga tanong na ibinato sa akin ay hindi ako pwedeng sumagot ng "Hindi ko alam" at "Ewan".

Minsan pag nakita nyo ang isang tao, tingin pa lang, alam mo na marami itong alam. Ganyan siguro ang nakikita ng iba sa akin. I admit na I do know a lot of stuff. But one can know only so much. Kahit na anong pilit na gawin ko na hindi ko talaga alam ay di sila naniniwala. Lumalabas tuloy na ako'y madamot at swapang. Kaya kalimitan para lang matapos ay gumagawa na lang ako ng make believe answer na pwede nilang kagatin. Ang masama nga lang pag minsan ay tumatama yung mga hula kong sagot which reinforces their belief na alam ko nga talaga ang sagot at ayaw ko lang sabihin. Todas!!! Back to square one na naman ako!!!

Opening Lines

I really don't understand why my mind would memorize these things. For my part, I can't find no purpose or relevance on knowing these things and, yet, they are embedded very hard in the back of mind. Andami kong alam na hind ko naman alam kung saan gagamitin. Eto ang mga sample...

Samurai Jack

Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shapeshifting master of darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil. But a foolish samurai wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time and plunged him into the future where my evil is raw. Now, the fool seeks to return to the past and undo the future that is Aku.

Visionaries

It was the time when magic is more powerful than science. And only those who can control the magic, controls destiny. They are the visionaries.

Twilight Zone

With a key, you unlock a door to imagination. Beyond it is another dimension. A dimension of sight. A dimension of sound. A dimension of mind. You're moving through a land of both shadow and substance. Of things and ideas. Guiding you through this wondrous journey is the hypnotic sound of the twilight tone.

Star Trek

Space...the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission ... to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.

Long Vacation...Long Post

It's been two weeks since my last blog kaya para naman makabawi ay dadamihan ko ngayon ang aking ilalagay dito para naman makabawi sa inyo....

1st Reason for not Blogging

Bakit nga ba hindi ako nakagawa ng blog this past two weeks eventhough nakaharap naman ako sa computer ng maghapon? Besides being a system administrator here in the office, administrator din ako sa forum ni Iya Villania. For my part as an administrator, dapat ay lagi akong nasa forum. Basta lang. And since I'm always visible in the forum, I have been receiving some mails from other members. Most of the mails were questions about Iya. Normal lang yon kasi forum naman nya yon. From previous forum experience, I'll be receiving an average of 6 messages a week. But, lately, medyo dumami ang mails na narereceive ko. I have to spent an hour and a half just to read and reply to all the mails. Nakakatawa lang kasi most of the mails ay nanggaling pa sa mga international fans ni Iya. Para tuloy akong internation PR officer nya. Lalo pa ngayon na merong umiikot na tsismis about her. Idagdag nyo pa rito yung mga gimiks na pinaglalagay doon, pagbasa at pagreply sa lahat ng mga bagong posts ay talaga namang di na ako makapagblog. At ihahabol ko lang na mukhang dadagdag pa sa load ko si Ms. Bianca G. kasi nakareceive ako ng 4 messages asking more about her. Syempre binenta ko sya. Hahaha!!! Bianca, may bayad na ang PR ko sa susunod!!!!
Upcoming Videoke Challenge

Sa susunod naming challenge ni chigo ay lalagyan ko na ng dedication ang mga songs ko. Eto ang sample...

Para kay Ralph ay "Let The Pain Remain" by Basil Valdez.

"So let the pain remain forever in my heart
For ev'ry throb it brings
Is one more moment spent with you
I let the pain
Bring on the rain
If that's the only way
If there's no other way
To be with you again"

Para kay Jepi ay "Butterfly" by Mariah Carey.

"Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly"

At para sa aking walang sawang katunggali... "Gold" by Spandau Ballet.

"Gold (gold)
Always believe in your soul
You've got the power to know
You're indestructible
Always believe in, that you are
Gold (gold)
Glad that you're bound to return
There's something I could have learned
You're indestructible, always believe in..."
Words of Wisdom

They asked..."where do you think youll be 3-4 years from now?? what are the things you want to do or accomplish before you reach 30?"
But for me..."Where do you think you'll be 5 hours from now? What are the things you want to do or accomplish before the day finishes?"

Para sa mga kumukuha ng timing na sabihin ang nais nilang sabihin...
"Every time is the right time. Every moment is the good moment"

Para sa mga laging natatalo at naghahangad na manalo...
"Believe that you will win in order to win"

Sa mga mainipin at hindi matyaga...
"Patience is a virute. Good things come to those who wait."

"Can I use your phone?", translation "Pwede ko bang gamitin ang telepono?". My answer, "You can but you may not". "May I use your phone?", translation "Maari ko bang gamitin ang telepono?". My answer, "Yes, you may"
