reasons why i hate christmas

hi! im back... haven't posted in my blog for a long time. But here i am again, posting my latest rants and reklamo sa buhay buhay.

Christmas is just few days away and oh! the weather is really chilly, especially at nights. Well, at least the weather changed but not the attitude and excuses of our fellow Filipino's.


1.) Taxi drivers are getting choosy - i woke up late one time and was in a rush to go to office to avoid getting EAF points in my CCMS. So i've decided to take a cab going to work. I've waited for almost 15 minutes to get a cab that i thought will save my ass in getting those points but i was wrong.

Driver: san ka iho?
Manong Fredo: manong sa tektite po tayo, sa ortigas
Driver: (with the sudden change of facial expression) Naku! traffic sa EDSA ngayon eh. Di gumagalaw eh.
Manong Fredo: AY! ganun ba!? cge manong salamat po. (but what it really means is: Tang na mo manong, wala ka namang ibang dadaanan kundi EDSA lang eh. ma-flatan ka sana ng gulong)

2.) Shoppers with bulky plastic bag and super laking BOXES! riding the MRT - yes! because there bonuses were released early; our fellow filipinos are in SHOPPING SPREE Mode. Bili dito! Bili doon! here's my f*cking irritating REKLAMO! Why in gods creation are you going to ride a full-packed MRT with bulky plastic bags and large boxes, and you'll make reklamo to be careful na baka may mabasag na something. F*CK ! ! ! talaga. Here's an old lady ( looks like cruella devil) with super laking plastic bag and holding a box, shes trying to make siksik with the other passengers so just she can ride the train.

Manong Fredo: Mam, di na po kasya. Siksik na po hanggang loob.
Manang Bola: (with an irritating voice) Ang lowag lowag pa sa loob oh! bakit ba ayaw nyo pomasok!!!!!?
Manong Fredo: wala na po talaga eh, mag taxi na lang po kayo mam. kasi mejo madami yang dala nyo.
Manang Bola: Trapek eh! saka ang haba ng pela! (while making pilit na pumasok sa train)
**people are starting to get irritated because she's the only one who's holding down
the train to leave** until the guards told her to wait for the next train. BLEH! !

3.) TRAFFIC! NEVER ENDING TRAFFIC! with added attraction from MMDA traffic team - Traffic is inevitable during the holiday season. People rushing in from different malls in the metro. And it sucks! it really really sucks! whats worse are the added attraction from the MMDA, they're making huli of the buses and taxis just to make KOTONG since its xmas. making traffic more irritable. Ang saya noh.


merry christmas to you all.

Ang mga matitinong project ng MMDA at DPWH

Nakakapagtaka lang, bakit kaya kung kelan malapit na ang pasko at bagong taon

eh saka naman ang pagsira ng DPWH sa mga kalye ng kamaynilaan ( ay sorry, pag ayos pala )

Tulad kanina, habang papunta ng opisina. Ako'y nalate dahil sa trapik sa kahabaan ng EDSA

May "inaayos" daw kasi ang DPWH na kapirasong kalsada malapit sa Buendia.

Ang nakakapagtaka dun, wala namang sira yung parte ng kalsada na yun

I mean, araw araw akong dumadaan sa EDSA and, sa tingin ko eh! wala namang dapat ayusin sa kalsadang yun

Ang cute di ba!

SAbi nga nung driver ng taxi na nasakyan ko

"Pakitang tao lang yan, para naman malaman ng tao na may ginagawa yung DPWH. Di nila alam mas nakakaabala sila sa tao".

Isang pang cute na proyekto na nakita ko ay yung paglagay ng loading and unloading station sa gitna ng Guadalupe Bridge.

Isang napaka cute at magandang project ng MMDA ( di na ba sila nakuntento sa Pink at Blue na Urinals at walkways )

May island kasi sa gitna ng EDSA na nasa Guadalupe bridge, and plano ng MMDA na gawing loading and unloading station yun

just imagine, may loading and unloading station sa gitna na EDSA.

PATAY tayo jan! di ba naisip ng MMDA ang idudulot nilang panganib at trapik sa mga tao.

SAbi nga ni GMA:

“Malaking pakinabang ang naidulot sa ka-Maynilaan ng araw-araw na pagko-commute (ng mga galing sa Central at Southern Luzon papasok sa kanilang mga opisina).

Nababawasan ang kanilang (gastusin o) amenities na kailangan nilang ihandog kung dumadayo lamang,” the President said.

“Pinasisigla din nitong mga commuters ang negosyo ng transportasyon at serbisyo sa Metro Manila at kanilang mga probinsya,” -balita-dot-ph-


DPWH is highly perceived as one of the two most corrupt agencies in the country.
Among the most prominent cases which many department executives got involved into was the repair scam. - wikipedia -


(sabi ko nga! tatahimik na lang si manong fredo)

Sana maging bata ako ulit

Minsan ba naisip nyo at pinangarap na sana maging bata kayo ulit?

Walang pinoproblema, Walang inaalala, Walang iniisip kundi ang maglaro at magsaya sa kalsada

Pag gising palang sa umaga, may nakahanda ng pagkain. Papaliguan, Bibihisan, Ihahatid, Magaaral

Tapos susunduin, bibihisan, papakainin ng tanghalian, tapos ETO na ang FUN PART! ! !

Maglaro ng habulan, patintero, langit-lupa, tumbang-preso hanggang maghapon.

Pag uwi sa bahay lilinisan, papakainin ng hapunan, tuturuan pagkatapos matutulog na. SARAP noh!

Walang pinoproblema, walang iniisip, walang inaalala

Ngayon!? Problema sa pera, gf/bf, intrega sa magulang, ipon, pambayad ng upa, pamasahe, ugali ng magulang mo, problema sa opisina, mga kasama mo sa opisina etc.... di na matapos ang problema

Minsan naiisip mo na lang, na sana maging bata ako ulit. Para walang isipin na mga problema.


Para may magalaga sayo ulit, magpakain, umalalay, at umintindi.

Hay..... ang buhay nga naman. Pero alam nyo kung anong nakakatuwa sa mga bata ngayon.

GUSTO NILANG LUMAKI AT TUMANDA AGAD TULAD NG MGA ATE AT KUYA NILA

funny noh!? pero totoo. . . para daw makalabas sila ng bahay tuwing gabi o makainom ng beer o makapag yosi.







SANA MAGING BATA AKO ULIT.

Famous People Whom I Want to Meet

If i were given a chance to talk to some of the most famous people all over the world, then i think i can die peacefully. (joke)

But having that chance maybe, can change me a person or can give me a different perspective on
how and what they think about the world today.



1.) Andrea Bocelli - Famous Italian Tenor Opera singer. Born with Congenital Glaucoma, his total blindness came after a game of football when he was 12. A voice so soft and so sweet truly a god given voice. ( I personally like his performance at Tuscany, Italy when he sang Con Te Partiro)



















2.) Stephen Hawking - A British Theoretical Physicist, severely disabled by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (nosebleed), its a motor neurone disease. The disease started when he lost his balance and fell down a flight of stairs when he was in cambridge, the diagnosis of the disease came when he was 21. He gradually lost the use of his arms, legs and voice and is now almost paralysed.




















3.) Megawati Sukarnoputri - Indonesia's first female president and daughter of the country's first president after declaring independence to the Netherlands. Megawati became the 5th President of Indonesia, after her presidential term, she tried to ran for re-election but was defeated by Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Did you know!? the Sukarnoputri means "daughter of Sukarno and it is not a family name. And she was simply referred as Megawati or "Mega" which is derived from Sanskrit meaning "she who has the cloud"




















4.) Nelson Mandela - South Africa's First Black President and Nobel Prize Winner. Before being the president nelson was the leader of African National Congress ' armed wing "Umkhonto we Sizwe". He went to jail for almost 27 years in Robben Island for capital crimes of sabotage and crimes which is equivalent to treason. "I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man." - nelson mandela






















5.) Sir Sean Connery - "Call me Bond, James Bond" One of the movies that skyrocketed Sir Connery into Stardom. He acted on seven James Bond Movies from Dr. No (1962) to Never Say Never Again (1982 unofficial). Started as a milkman in Edinburgh he later joined the Royal Navy but was later discharge due to medical grounds. He also place 3rd in the 1953 Mr. Universe Bodybuilding Contest and up until now still recognized as a contemporary sex symbol.

6.) Kim Jong-il - Dictator of North Korea, son of the North Korea's Deity Kim il-Sung. Born in Soviet Union, leader of Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Supreme Commander of the Korean Peoples Army. Avoiding foreign education, Kim believes to have 7,000 mercedes benz S500 unit, a staggering 20,000 video tapes ranging from Friday the 13th to James Bond movies.

Boys Day Out! (ano nga ulit yung kulay ng mascara na gamit ng mama mo?)

My mom works in the Pasay City Hall as a Supervisor in the Admin. Dept.

Before she leaves the house, she asked my dad to buy her a mascara ( hope i got it right)

My dad was busy doing something else, and just replied "Cge cge, iwan mo na lang sa lamesa yung pambili"

So just this afternoon before heading to CSA ( Colegio de San Agustin ) where my dad works. We stopped by at SM to buy the mascara.

We went to the ground floor ( i think!) of SM and went to the Watsons Area. And i've noticed that we are the only male customers at that time.

My dad grabs a basket and then asked me (with his kinda loud and strong voice) "ANO NGA ULIT YUNG KULAY NG MASCARA NA GAMIT NG MAMA MO!?" (he pronounced it as MAS'KARA or Mask)

Promo girls, Sales Lady even i couldn't help to smile. I even heard one promo girl, giggled.

Ang cute naming tatlo nun. Trying our best to look cool or as if we know what we were buying. Pero di naman pala. LOL!

ISIP BATA! ! ! !

akala ko ikaw yung mas makakaintindi

akala ko ikaw yung maaasahan ko pag kailangan kita

akala ko ikaw yung unang sasalo pag may problema tayo

mali pala ako. . . .

ang hinihingi ko lang ay tulong mo

pero ikaw pa yung nag angas

akala mo kung sino kang perpekto kung manita

BAKIT!? ANO BANG PINAGMAMALAKI MO!?

ayoko ng away, ayoko ng gulo

ayokong isipin ng taong nasa paligid natin na hindi tayo nagkakaisa

you see, there are times na kailangan din nating sumunod

ayoko din naman yung ginawa ko na yun, sa palagay mo ba gusto ko yun

kaso may utos tayo galing sa nakatataas, na pag tinawag tayo ng iba para tumulong

TUMULONG NA LANG!

nakakapanghinayang lang. . . . . sayang talaga. . . . sayang ka!

GROW UP!

GOOD LUCK SA ENDEAVORS MO!

MALAYO MARARATING MO NYAN!

Missin' her Badly

You hear me so clearly
And see how I try
So you feel me, so heal me
And tear me apart

I won't tell a soul
I won't tell at all
Do they have to know
About my Goodnight Girl

Caught up in your wishin' will
Your hopes and sadness
Take you love 'n' promises
And make them last

You keep me so near you
And see me so far
And hold me and send me
And deep in your heart

It doesn't matter how sad
I made you
Doesn't matter how hard
I try

Just remember the same
Old reason
Reflected in your eyes
You said you wanted me

Caught up in your wishin' well
Your hopes and sadness
Take your love 'n' promises
And make them last



i miss you badly. . . .

TAKO BALLS! TAKO BALLS! where can i get some TAKO BALLS!

When i went to Hongkong, GF told me to try HK streetfoods.

First impression! "MALANSA"

So, after accompanying her friend to a shopping spree. We stopped by to the foodcourt to grab something to eat. She was asking me if i want to try some TAKO Balls. (huh!? ano yun?)

So i said yes! without thinking, what it looked like or how it smells or even the taste. After quite some time GF returned with this unusual balls with brownish syrup poured all over it.

I smelled it. I looked at it. . . . . . and when i tasted it. THE REST WAS HISTORY!

i fel in love with that damn food. after tasting it, my perception changed about HK streetfood. That is why, everyday during my stay in HK wala akong sinabi kay bons kundi. . . . . . .

SAN NA YUNG OCTOPUS BALLS KO? hanggang maghiwalay na lang kami sa airport, i was asking her to look for a food stall that sells TAKO balls.

wala ba dito nyan sa manila? hayz........

What i Want for Christmas! is a new Headset

Since my job requires listening to Call Recordings, one of the most important tools that i need is a Headset.

And since our beloved company is still on the process ( DAW!?) of purchasing our headsets, i have no choice but to use my mp3 player headset. I've been using it for almost a month now, and its doing its job perfectly.

However!? Just this evening, to my horror!! when i plugged-in my headset only the right side was working. (badtrip!)

Then, i remember the the Headsets that i saw in megamall. DARN! it was a SkullCandy Headset.



I really really really want to have one!

So for those kind souls, who's reading this blog right now. You know where to contact me. hehe
