Fine. Saksak nyo sa baga nyo.
UP lang ba state university?
Di ba ang sablay ay "for nationalism"?
Exclusive?

Come again?

There are more than two sides of a story.

My thoughts:

1. Put more than a thousand people in one place + sponsors/vendors = TRASH. I don't have to be in a running event to expect that. I'm sure when the EDSA revolution was held (several times) there was the same predicament.
2. Not all of them are "nature lovers" they would've planted a tree instead or cleaned up a portion of the city. Don't we have marathons almost every single week and for every time there is a monetary humanitarian reason to do so. It's like the new "bar" to be seen. 
3. Why the running fad became so popularly expensive I do not know. The roads have been there ever since. No need for some fancy shirt even.
4. Hydration is important. Paper cups might be more practical. I hope they just placed trash bins strategically. Water bottles? Nah. I'm sure it'll be uncomfortable running with a jug. Doesn't look good on the photovendo too. People stopping for a refill would only consume more minutes in their stats. 
5. Douse runners with a water pump? Sounds fun AND sexy. Haha! But wouldn't that cause water spoilage and slippery roads won't be safe. 
6. Smoky mountain and Payatas for venues? I don't think that'll be sanitary or safe. 
7. So you really wanna be an Earth hero by running? Do that daily on your way to school or work.   

Alam na

Nakow. Di yan pwedeng mauso ditey! WIT WIT WIT!

Mabubuking LAHAT ng sisterette!

Dear Papa Paulo

Noong una hindi naman kita mapapansin dahil sadyang pretty boy ka lang. Yung tipong hambait bait mong tingnan pag nagsmile, parang ganito:

Not until nakita ko ang Bench ad mo at saka nalaglag ang brief ko muling nakilala ang linyang "naughty and nice"...

Akala ko pa nga, to the rescue pa eksena mo sa CDO?

Look alike lang pala. Pwede na rin. Char! Kaya nga nung nakita kong ikaw ang cover boy ng Garage Mag, hindi na ako kumain ng lunch maiuwi ka lang...

Pero as I flipped through the pages...

Bakit wala naman yatang cuts o abs?




P.S.


Tapus na Holy Week, pero like Doubting Thomas, maniniwala akong hindi airbrush o Photoshop lang ito pag nahimas nakita na kita in person






XOXO

In yet another pointless conversation with JM:


"Happy naman ako dahil meron na rin akong Starbuckzzz tumbler which is in fantabulously colorific furfle.

Pero may isa akong problema: Hirap na hirap akong uminom sa kanya na hindi ako matatapunan! Seriously! Ang effort talaga ng finess na kailangan kong ipunin para lang makainum nang maayus."


JM, happens to have this wide array of collection of mugs and tumblers from Starbucks, which were either he bought, gifts, or nenok. Yes, nenok, isa lang naman pero nenok nonetheless. At proud pa siya. Since then, plain white na lang ang mugs sa SB Eastwood and everywhere else. LOL


Minsang nakita ko collection niya. Magkakaiba ang spout. At sa lahat, ito ang naging most comfortable para sa akin:

"Ganito lang naman kasi yan... *dinedemo ang pag inum* simple lang naman bakit hindi mo magawa?"

Seth: "Look at this!? Mukha siyang gilid ng baso but it's not! Ang layu nung mismong butas to where I place my lip. Ang tendency tuloy I wrap my lips on the whole thing kaya tuloy parang sinubo ko na 25% nung takip para lang hindi na siya tatapon? Isa pa, double barrel siya, in as much as naappreciate ko yung control ng condensation at di ako mapapaso etc, hindi ko maramdaman yung flow ng fluid kaya di ko matantiya? Kailangan ko pang i-tilt nang mataas tuloy, thus, more tapon. Di ba spill proof nga dapat!


*hinga*


Pero ito, ito! Mas ok ito sa akin palagay ko. Simple lang ang spout niya at kahit hindi ako nakatingin o nag iingat sigurado ako walang tatapon dahil nasa loob na siya ng bibig ko. Gets mo?
















JM: *sigh* "Kawawa ka naman."




------------------------------------------------------------ Anyway... I'm starting my own collection. At dito ko gustong simulan! harharhar :)

Digital Lapida

Kulang pa rin siguro sa gasgas ang "health is wealth". Kamakailan lang, nabalitaan na lang namin sa opisina na ang pagkamatay ng training supervisor dahil sa surgical complications. Sayang. Hindi man lang siya umabot sa 40s? 


Hindi naman kami super close, pero in a way, idol ko siya. Paano, puro na lang siya designer items mula ulo hanggang paa? Perry Ellis na shirt, Cavalli jeans, LV belt, Bulgari jewelry, Prada shoes, Birkin bag, Philip Stein watch, at of course di papahuli ang gadgets na iPads (yes 2 sila), Macbook, iPhones (oo, ikr), at BB Torch.


Kung kukwentahin siguro lahat ng dala niya sa isang araw, lalampas siguro ng bahagya ng 1M. Imagine. Pangarap pa raw niya bumili ng isang Porsche before the end of the year. IKAW NA TALAGA !!!


Pero... nasaan na siya ngayun? Huling beses na nakita ko siya, sobrang payat, dry skin, wala na siyang boses halos. Wala rin nagawa ang pera niya?


Kasalukuyan akong naglilinis ng inbox, saka ko napansin na huling usap namin sa FB chat eh January pa. Hindi na rin mabuksan ang profile niya. Last time I checked napuno ng mga dedication at pictures etc ang wall niya. Kung meron man akong natutunan sa pagbabasa ko, sa "Tuesdays with Morrie" mas gusto ko na marinig yung mga magagandang eulogy habang buhay pa ako? 


Pero teka, anu ba talaga ang big deal sa akin???


Wala na yung profile niya.


"Bakit kailangan madelete yung profile?", tanung ko. "Malalaman ba ng FB na, hmmm, mejo matagal na huling login mo? Bibigyan ka ba niya ng ultimatum na on or before _____ pag di ka nagsign in goodbye na sa profile mo?".


Nakita ng friend ko kung gaano ako kaapektado.


JM: "Eh patay na nga siya di ba? FB is a social networking site. Paano ka naman makipag socialize kung patay ka na?"


Seth: "Eh yun nga ang issue ko eh?! Bakit nila binura? Paano na yung social factor?"


JM: *Awkward silence. Taas isang kilay*


Naweirduhan yata sa akin. Social factor sa patay. Ang scary di ba?


Seth: "Paano na yung pictures niya? Yung tagged photos? Yung friends niya? Paano kung di naman sila close at magkakakilala? How are they going to grieve together and share stuff about the person if they removed the only link which is the profile?!"


Wala na nasabi si JM. Masama akong kadebate pag hysterical? LOLs


Siguro ayaw ko lang patayin yung memories. Yung kahit kailan, kung gugustuhin ko, pwede ko pang balikan at tingnan ulit kapag ready na ako. 


You don't own the memories yourself. 


Rest in Peace Benj and to my puppy Donut :'(

Just No.

I won't be entertaining invitations to gatherings.

I won't be giving out my mobile number to anybody.

I won't be adding people on Facebook/Twitter.

Relationships are messy.

Let's keep it writer-reader only ok?
