"Tell me where it hurts, now tell me..."

I'm being rehabilitated nowadays. Not because of drugs--waahahah. Its because of the back spasms that haunted me every night. The pain just makes it hard to sleep at night. And since Mare is worried about almost everything (she even made me stop attending my taekwondo training 3 months ago), she had me checked-up by the doctor last last monday. Truly, they are back spasms. And thus, I need a therapy.

There are six sessions, and I had my 5th session earlier. The therapist there is really good. It is as if I'm always relieved every time I finish my muscle-relaxing session. Nakadapa lang naman ako dun at may ultraviolet rays na device ang pinapahid sa likod ko. Kinukuryente pa ako noH!

"Tell me where it hurts... at lalagyan natin ng electricity..."

But then, thanks to the San Pedro Hospital therapists (esp. Ate Sharon) for your help. Finally, I will have sweet dreams again.

Why does Pisay tend to be so complicated?

Thanks to my Dad, I was able to finish ALL the papers for our enrollment earlier. The lab results, ITR's, Statement of Accts, goshes... Ay, 'di pa pala lahat natapos. Meron pa palang essay na kailangan sa Guidance. Ba't pa kasi kailangan?

"How do I forsee myself six years from now?", 'yan ang topic.

'Yan ang pinagkakaabalahan ko ngayon.

Food galore.

I had a buffet meal with my dad and his officemates during lunch. Since it's my Papalo's birthday today, we all went to the cemetery and ate snacks there. And I ate a lot of snacks. And still I ate dinner.

NakU... Lumalaki, lumalaki... Lumalapad, lumalapad... Bumibigat, bumibigat...

I'm going to make a difference.

Let's do the funk

Today, when I woke up, I heard Pare talking to a guy.

"Unsa naman na? Nibuto man gud ba. Baha jud mi diri sa balay."
"Uki lang na Boss. Ma-ayu lagi namo na."
"O sige. Dapat ma-ayu na na ha."
"Buksan lang namo ang septic tank Boss..."

The septic tank. It was my first time to actually see what's inside the septic tank. I helped them unclog all the "whatever" things inside the tank. I poured all the water in, and I saw the oily dirt overflowing the tank.

"Tama lang 'yan, Nak. Mabuti nang mawala lahat ng sebo. Baka 'yan ang dahilan ng bara."
"Dapat kasi buhusan natin ng mainit na tubig once a week eh."
"'Di bale, makakabawi rin tayo..."

All throughout the day, the septic tank contingents hang-out outside our house. Thank God they opened the septic tank and fixed it. And it gave me an assurance that we can avoid floods inside our house.

>>>

"Let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk..."

It's so nice to hang-out with my batchmates. They are so funny, outgoing, and they just bring out the best in everything. We are currently preparing our intermission number for the freshmen orientation. I just hope everything will work out.

Ang galing pa namang kumembot ang mga tao. Perteh, perteh, PERTEH!

>>>

I've been an all-around katulong in our house for a week. Pina-alis na kasi ni Mare ang aming katulong. Malikot kasi ang kamay. Ngayon, narealize ko, mahirap pala talagang magtrabaho sa bahay. Ang daming kailangang gawin, mga responsibilities na dapat alalahanin, ang kapatid ko na sobrang kulit. Naging dishwasher ako, cook, nanny, technician, entertainer, dog trainer, vet, tindera, labandera, plantsadora... Ang hirap mabuhay. Pero kailangang gawin.

Ngayon na ang pagkakataong matuto at magbawas ng timbang. I will learn as much as I can at gagaan ako ng todo!

Watch out. First day of classes... makeover behbeh!

NEw bLog... New Post

I can't believe it. I just can't believe it.

"Bagong TV?! At may cable pa? BAKIT NGAYON LANG?!"

After 16 years of persuasion, finally, naliwanagan din sina Mare at Pare. Pero, shocKED naman ako eh. Nang bumili sila, all of a sudden ang lahat.

"AKALA ko, naghihirap tayo? Ba't bumili kayo ng ganyan?!"
"Sige nalang Nak, nandito na eh. Baket? Ayaw mo?"
"Sinabi ko ba pong ayoko? Nagtataka lang ako kung baket bigla nalang po kayo bibili. Baka paggising ko bukas eh baka bago na rin ang bahay natin."
"Heheheheh... At bukas na bukas, magpapakabit tayo ng kaybol!"
"PERTEHH!!! Ba't ngayon lang? WAAAAAAAAAAAHH!"
"Heheheheh... Mabuti yan para kapatid mo matuto ng maayos na ingles."
"Eh baket ako NOON? Natuto naman ako ng maayos kahit wala niyan."
"Nak, anong gagawin natin sa TV na ganito kung local channels lang? Sayang naman. At tska, iba noon sa ngayon. TV patrol, The Buzz, at mga teleserye lang ang maayos sa TV! Gusto ko naman makaranas ng HBO, Cinemax, at AXN! May pakapin pang Disney Channel. O diba, okey na 'yon?"
"Bahala na po..."
"Heheheheh... Hihihih..."
"PERTEHH!!!"

Finally, my internship is over.
It was definately a nice stay there in BFAR. Ms. Acosta was very mother-like, Kuya Richmund was funny, Ma'am Madz was like a movie star, and LOiDA is a dragon. If you're going to have your internship in BFAR, you better be prepared.

>>>

Thank God my supervisor allowed me to go there.

We were all in the hospital, and it was my first time to see someone dying; with all those machines (with stats, beeps, etc.) and oxygen tube attached to his nose. It was just so sad. He suffered, yet he managed to fight.

Around 15:30, he arrested. That was when all of us stood up and started to cry. Even though there was a long line and a long beeping sound, still a smalland quick pulse came from him. I know he doesn't want to leave all of us.
But we have to let him go.

"Salamat Papalo...", was all I managed to say. Then, I wept like a child.

After four days of agony, Papalo died at exactly 15:47 last April 26, 2005.
That was the day when I finally realized how important my Papalo was to all of us in the family.

>>>

Even though Papalo died two days before my birthday, I was still :). At least, God listened to my prayers.

FLOOOOOOD!!!BAHAAAAAA!!!

It was raining, and I can't believe that it was flooding outside--and also inside our house.

There were pails everywhere. The dripping noise just disturbed the still of the night. It was my first time to see our kitchen take a bath, and admire how the utensils and plates managed to arrange a pool party.

Pare says we're getting a repairman as soon as possible. On the other hand, Mare says that we must renovate the house. The couple fought over about what things to do, but either way, it still involves A LOT of money.

But hey, we don't have enough money.

I just hope someone provides...:D

Goshes, my sister is enrolling. Goshes, I know she has a problem with people who does not follow her rules. Bata pa kasi. Matututo rin 'yan.

Sa mga taong gagraduate na sa Pisay this school year:

DAPAT sumipot na kayo sa practice para sa orientation. Para naman ma-guide natin ang mga bata ng maayos. Tayo ang mga dakilang Ate at Kuya. Dapat nating gampanan ng maayos ang ating mga tungkulin. 'Wag nang pa-banjing banjing. Kilos nA!!!
