mY new apple of my eye. Jeam Engracia. thick brows, red lips, fair skin, nice height, nice smile.

oh my. he could make me fall.

I will be leaving for Cagayan De Oro this friday, 10Oct. Will see him by Saturday morning. Let's see what will happen. I fell kinda numb or better said as a controlled excitement is dawning thru me. That is a good thing compared to how I have been feeling when i was still in my younger years.

The ferry arrived earlier than expected. It already docked and I am still dozing. The commotion awoke me. I went to take care of my morning rituals as i knew he will be late in fetching me. Took a bath, got dressed, drank coffee, and brush my teeth. I went roaming around the ferry after. After 45 minutes of waiting, I departted the ship which was almost empty with passengers. I took my things to the waiting lounge, listened to my mp3 and read the book that i brought with me. seconds ticked by until they gather into an hour. The hour found its pair and the waiting game turned two, finally before the second hour dropped he texted me saying that he woke late and is beginning to fix himself. God knows how scared I am. The thought of being stood up almost came ramming in me.

The most awaited moment that will make or break things came." totoot" my phone sounded as a message came thru. I read, " Where are you? Gawas na diha". That stumped my heart short. It's like being in a vacuum again. Its like going back to the countless times that I am stood up.

But there he was standing tall and unresponsive. That made me feel small. Suddenly Cagayan seemed strange and different, partly scary. But with him not running away assured me that I wont be spending at an empty inn alone.

boldemort's coven ver1.3

Next in my grouppie is Dindin (right in black).

Mommy din is the only girl in the group that has a cute little angel. Little Jacob looks like her and even sounds like her more. She claims to be in the level of Anne Curtis. Well kinda acceptable. Our group kinda planned it all to call her the next Anne Curtis. Or were we drunk at that time. Watch out when she walks. You might be a runaway victim of her catwalk. No matter what she's one of those who could make a day very different.

Si cris yung tipong petite ngunit heavy sa gadgets, at sosyalite na lifestyle. Yang resort na sa likod niya sooner or later magiging kanya na yan. Meron ka pang choice ng treated or salty pool. Patawad at hindi ko pepwedeng i-disclose kung saan ito. You have to be close with us before i tell you. Limited access eh. hehehe I am just curious why she seemed to be leaving the group. I missed the fun times and chika-chika. Anyway she's still around the office and i don't worry her leaving the company just yet.

Now we have to the right, the lady in red, Doreen (said with a long E sond buy may interchangeably be said as Doooren, slight softness towards the end).

She has that aura of big importance. It's like when she walks it shouts "Move over cindy! or I'll hit you." She's the ate of the group. She looks young though. Parang magkasinggulang lang kami. Gifted ang girl na to with a good genes. Weird sa kanya kasi lumiliit ang mata niya pag naka-smile. Lagi naming kuwentuhang nagkakasundo ay ang pagkalibog. Hmmm Girl talk na naman. Tsaka ngaun nagkasundo kami sa Havaianas. Ayon for 2008 ang greatest achievement naming dalawa ay ang pagtayo sa pila ng Havaianas na lagpas 8 na oras. Yahoo, pang guinness na kami.

boldemort's coven ver 1.1

Matapos ang nakaraan nagkaroon ako ng bagong close friend. Isang exciting, independent and an emotional nomad called Normania, well-known as Aianne.

Ang hirap i-explain ang friendship namin pero isa lang ang constant she's not your any ordinary girl pal. She's a hybrid. hehehe

Name: Normania

Kingdom: Intelligencia

Phylum: Chordata

Genus: Daldalera kakulith

Subspecies: bookworm

Alias: Agent Naya / Aianne

Kay aianne ako unang nagpakita ng kahinaan. Siya ang unang nakakita sa akin umiyak. She's the one who will held you and keep you strong. What i liked her at that time is that she never cried with me. It could be that my concern was not of hers, it may be even dull to her. What the hell she thinks of me at that time. At least nagpakatao siya at hindi nanghusga or least magkamatayan na. hehehehe

Her curiosity amazes me. It's like this girl never gets tired of reading book or learning. It's just hard to keep up at times as her questions are too scientific. The hardest ever was when she asked me about the speed of light. How long is one light year? I am a science geek before but this one got off the book! hehehe Lav ya yan! Thanks for making all your friend's day different and fun every day. Oh my i am saying this like it's like her last on earth! hehehe Well i know this girl will live long with a lot promising days.

boldemort's coven

Baka akalain ninyo wala akong social life. Madami po. simula ng lumabas ako ng Bugwarts lumawak ang aking nakasalamuha. Iba't-ibang tao. Mapa-lalake man o babae. Bakla o Tomboy. Iba't-ibang pag-uugali at pananaw sa buhay. Ang saya. Nang mag-call center si boldemort nabago lahat sa kanya. May mga bagay na naging mas-magaan. Nagpakatotoo si boldemort.

Ngayon ipakikilala ko ang mga kaibigan ko. Uunahin ko ang unang naging bestfriend ko. Tawag ko sa kanya si Daria.

Name: Grace.

Kingdom: Simplecia

Phylum: critique pelikula

Genus: Todo barkada

Subspecies: Lafangera sa carenderia

I frequent her place when she was still here in cebu. We watched those weird yet wonderful cartoons. I didnt know that there are cartoons that are deep. She cooks when i am at her place and we talk about any close friends talk about. Teka lang napansin kong nag-iingles na naman ako. Haay tlaga naman minsan mas madali ng mag-ingles keysa magtagalog. Anyway, miss ko na si Daria. We have this agreement that after payday, we would go out and explore bars and resto. It was fun. The food trip didn't affect me much. Pero siya medyo po lumaki. Hehehe She is like my ate in Cebu. Kawawa nga siya minsan kasi nahihirapan siya sa sinus niya then sa monthly dalaw niya. I always pray for her as she needs it most that i do.

Things have been different since she left Cebu. Her life has changed and mine as well. She will return though. Let's see how two lost friends will find each other. I know we will have been more mature. There will be new things to share. It will be strange but moreover exciting.

Baka nagtataka kayo at bakit Tagalog ang gamit ko. Hindi ba marunong mag-Ingles si Boldemort? Hahaha Kung ingles lang ang magiging batayan ng katalinuhan ang laking lintik naman ata iyan. Pero kung gusto niyo makapagbasa ng ingles, para maiba naman, subukan niyo ang susunod. Ito'y naisulat bilang entry sa isang part-time job na akong minimithing pasukan. Sana'y matumbok nito ang pagka-Pilipino ninyo.

An easy answer to Rizal’s challenge to the Youth

In my eyes Dr. Rizal is different from the other heroes in a few yet special ways. He grew up in a life of extravagance. He studied under the tutelage of the best educators of his time. He went to different countries and learn different languages. But that’s not what set him apart. Anyone with money can enjoy and acquire these privileges. What rarely happens with people ejoying these luxuries is their becoming of a patriot. That is what is outstanding of Dr. Rizal. He grew up with a silver spoon in his tongue yet nurtured a heart for the pauper and his countrymen. He became a foreigner for years yet his heart remained in his country. He is fearless in the face of death. He didn’t see any loss dying young and missing out three more decades of his life.

Now who can say that the country’s future is not in the hands of the youth? Isn’t Dr. Rizal the ideal example of what a young filipino can do? Dr. Rizal with conviction said so because he himself was a testament to that fact. No matter how young, how educated or how rich a person is they can change history with the actions they take for their country.
Servitude towards the country knows no age, ancestry or educational attainment. It is in the purest of intention and the will to do good that one is measured to be a full man.
Each generation brings forth their own concept of governance and servitude towards their countrymen. It is with this premise that Dr. Rizal entrusts with great anticipation his challenge to the youth. He boldly dares each one to pull together as one entity and become stronger. This is poetically illustrated in what I call the tale of the broomstick. No single stick can be more useful than hundreds bound together.

Idealism is bountiful in the minds of the youth. Their visions of the world is untainted by foul thoughts already in the pre-existing society. He wants the youth to take the forefront of cleaning up against the scraps of the torn society.

They have the driving force to inflict the much needed change. There are some youths though, that doesn’t know yet the limitless capability their existence and their actions can create in their household, town, city or in other people’s lives. This is why Rizal is challenging the young generation of Philippines. They will soon be adults and will remain as adults unless their able to pass on their next generation a much better Philippines. That’s the way to become a full-grown Filipino. Again, to be able to call yourself a true-blooded Filipino, one must be in a relentless pursuit of patriotism in any field of endeavour interests you.

We already have a multitude of youth that have shown the road to becoming the country’s future. We have young heroes that shows up in times of emergencies like Rona Mahilum. She’s a young girl who sustained third degree burns on her back when their house was about to burn down. Despite the pain, she was able to rescue five brothers and sisters.

Link television recognized three young environmentalist or eco-heroes. Rubin Palarca is an elected community councilman, activist and musician. His heroic deeds involve staging theater and musical performances in towns and schools throughout their region to raise environmental and ecological care. Rochelle Lucero is more of a hands-on hero in the field of eco-livelihood. She introduced micro-financing to families to start their own business such as backyard hog raising. This introduced variation in the means of income and lessen dependency on fish trade. Like Rochelle, Reagan Venturillo introduced alternative livelihood thru encouraging his town to do seaweed farming. His works also involved mass action towards reclaiming the lost mangrove area thru replanting.

The country is also abundant of brave young men who choose to take up arms in the defense of our liberty and territory. I am talking about our military, police and all uniformed personnel. On this note, I would like to pay homage to the valor of 10 Marines who went into the jungles of Tipo-Tipo Basilan last 11th July 2007 in the attempt to rescue the italian priest Giancarlo Bossi. It was an overkill as they were marauded by 300-500 milf and abu-sayyaf bandits. Yet in the midst of all-hell breaking lose, they defended their comrades to the death.

The Philippines is a nation of heroic stories to tell. We have heroes day after day. We have heroes we still share the same air to this very moment. We have those remembered thru their gravestones. We have heroes young and old. We have heroes for the arts like Charisse Pempenco, Lea Salonga, Ryan Cayabyab, Lisa Macuja and many more. We have heroes of great manpower skills - the Overseas Filipino Workers. We have heroes in the sciences like Luiji Suarez from Negros Occidental (won an award from the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance-Lemelson Foundation for his research on the potential of marine bioluminescent bacteria), and, Ivy Ventura, Janine Santiago and Mara Villaverde (won a team project award for their research into fluorescent proteins from sea slugs at the International Science and Engineering Fair). We have sports heroes in the names of Eugene Torre, Paeng Nepomuceno, Manny Pacquaio and the young Wesley So, born 1993 and became the youngest national chess champion.

If each one pulling together like one big giant machine, Rizal’s vision of a strong nation ,thru its youth and those young at heart, is not a lost dream but a winning reality. This have been proven by the names mentioned above. It only takes one more of us each day to continue the legacy of Dr. Rizal.
