Snake

On the 31st of December, they will decide if i should stay or not. I couldn't be any more anxious.
Although I must admit... it would be a terrible waste if they let their fourteen-thousand-peso investment go wasted.

Musn't keep my hopes up.

I dreamed today.

I was on a bank beside a muddy brook. There were people around but only two felt very familiar... family members maybe.

We were looking for a snake. I paddled through the brook until I got to the middle. I dove for something, felt something long and slender then i grabbed it and hurled it out of the water.

The snake was yellow and very slimy and very dead.

A man took out a knife and poked it in the snakes mouth. He started scraping at something in the reptiles throat really hard. Blood everywhere it's rotting flesh filled the air with the most awful smell.

Out went something round and very fleshy but we ignored it. Our attention was on the snake, which to my surprise, had turned into a person! LOL!

His skin all green and flaky and also very dead. He let out a hiss, but we turned and walked away.

The Ghostly Car Ad

Holloween is coming and a lot of weird stuff are already happening! And I thought I was weird.

Read this first:

Hey Folks,

This one is really wild, but make sure you read the
info below before you view the video and turn up
the volume if you can.

This is a car advertisement from Great Britain.
When they finished filming the ad, the film editor
noticed something moving along the side of the
car, like a ghostly white mist. They found out that a
person had been killed a year earlier in that exact
same spot. The ad was never put on TV because
of the unexplained ghostly phenomenon.

Watch the front end of the car closely as it clears
the trees in the middle of the screen and you'll see
the white mist crossing in front of the car then
following it along the road....Spooky!

Is it a ghost, or is it simply mist? You decide. If
you listen to the ad, you'll even hear the
cameraman whispering in the background about
it near the end of the commercial.

A little creepy but it seems to be authentic. Click HERE to watch the clip.

Pisshiteater

The driver had no idea we were right behind his jeepney. My pedicab driver made a sharp left turn. The jeep, still backing-up, hit the front of my pedicab.

October 5, 2005 was the strangest day of my life.

I almost got hit by a car then a few minites later my pedicab collided with a jeepney, leaving me shocked for a few hours, (i was shivering and pale all over). My mother got sent to the hospital for an emergency HB

check-up, (poor mom). Then finally, after visiting mom, I saw a dying person on his deathbed, surrounded by his weeping loved ones.

I feel like all that had happened on that fateful day are a messages. Maybe there's something i have to do? Or maybe somethings trying to tell me that RP is in shambles and that GMA is a faceless douchebag

who has to be destroyed?

Or maybe it's time I really really have to take good care of my Mami?

We found a kitten, trapped inside our drain pipe. It kept on meowing and meowing for three whole days.

Today, it's in a basket, peeing on old newspapers and over it's own food. I want to call her Pisshiteater.

The Payslip Adventure

It's been two months and three weeks and bits of my life are slowly changing.

After the first few weeks at the office, I realized how difficult it is to start an episode of my very own uno-novella. Adjustment is one of my major issues, somehow I feel a bit uncomfortable in my workplace and my ten-too-many bosses and colleagues because they're either too friendly or snubby. But that's okay, the first few months of awkwardness in a workplace is normal, everybody manages to go through with it.

Friends still in school ask me, what's it like to earn?

= Shat

But i have to do it, i don't want to feel empty, bored, and worthless. Working will be a part of me, like for everybody else after graduating. It doesn't matter if you get small pay, or strange bosses, or overlaping projects. What matters most is you are a contributor of service to a community, you are a practitioner of what you have learned from school, and you are happy with what you are up to right now.

It's not all shat. I am happy that i do what i do best from what i've learned from the last five years of college, I am happy i am working for an institution that acknowleges my skills, and most of all, I am happy to go on a big payslip adventure every fifteen days - it's all part of the contract.

"Daw Tatay, Baboy, Loomba-loomba ka." ---> Thank you, i feel better about myself now.

I stepped on the weighing scale and glared at the little lines and numbers revolving around the red needle. When the spinning stopped, I lifted an eyebrow. I have become overweight.

I gained 5 pounds in just a month, the horror. Weee.

Mom's organized our photo album today so my siblings and i couldnt help sorting out the pictures with our faces on them. I found about six pictures with me in it, half from two to three years ago; and the other half, one from three days ago, and two from last December.

Seeing my waist-line go from okay to nyey, i wished i never got older.

When Mom saw the youthful pictures of herself in a video i made for her birthday. She looked great during her time.

She replayed the video ten times over, the memories from her youth got to her and eventually, she became teary eyed.

People complain a lot about how hard it is to be fat all the time, and how fulfilling it is to lose it. But then, why trouble yourself about how you look when you have a life ahead of you that's fat with more important things to think about?

It's easy to say that you are perfect just the way you are. It's the accepting that's not quite like a walk in the park.

Birds on hand

Another dream X-D

In the middle of a clearing, i stood. Pale grass reached my knees. The wind ruffles my shirt as i look up onto the sky, now gray and threatening to pour. two birds came fluttering from one of the trees. They swooped down and did little summersaults over my head.

I lift up an arm and caught a bird, effortlessly. I lift up my other arm and caught another other bird, with the same ease as i did when i caught the first one.

Now, the birds that i snatched did not fret. I studied the them closely. I crushed the one bird on my right, and placed it close of my heart, and the other bird, i set it free.

The grass on the clearing, swayed like the sea.

Hahahaha: Midgets in Love

The two proudly announced their love for each other to the public, with miniature smiles, chipmunk-voices and all.

Little people power... Who can stop midgets from falling in love? No one. Not even the media.

Let us support Mahal and Mura in their journey of love. And please, if ever Mahal and Mura will have kids, lets join our hands together and pray for fate of their children... please, pray for their children...

End

It was June 30, 2005. 4:00 P.M.

The moment Mrs. L told me my official appointment begins on July 1st, my heart felt like a plastic cup full of maggots - swirling, and twitching about. I realized then that my 4-month-old vagrant life, at last, has faced its demise. No longer will i wait, no longer will i have insomnia, no longer will i answer to questions like: "Naga ano ka di Ave's man?", "Ngaa ari ka di haw?", "Ginabayran ka man nila?

", "Ano gina himo mo di? Indi ka naman di estudyante?", "Mr. Kalalang, are you connected with UNO-R?" Yehey, wala na may mamankot. Now all i have to do is make out all the this and

thats of the working life: it's sneaky, slimy tactics and creepy politics. Theres more to that, i'm sure, and in the next six months, I am to experience most of em.

There's so much ahead of me and i'm a bit scared. After all, i am a chicken. But I guess, things right now 'aint that bad.

Creepy

Aah, the things companies do to make you feel like part of the famleh. Its as if their saying "Hey, we love you, whoever you are. We care for you and your probably hopeless career. And if you don't use our services that require a lot of money, we won't be sending cheap and pretty greeting cards like this anymore... no, no, that would be bad."

Thank you Jobstreet, i love you too.

Green Daffy

Sang nagligad nga apat ka adlaw, nag damgo ako nga:

May gina ubra ako sa akon katre. Indi binastos. Upod ko ang mga kilala ko. Pamatyatgan ko kilala ko sila pero indi ko kilala kung sin-o kay indi ko makit-an ila guya.

Te dasun gulpi lang may nag sulod nga gurang nga baye, mga over 30 na: Orange ang buhok, lime ang mini skirt kag backless nga tube o whatever. Naka pussycat sya nga yellow kag grey nga aritos nga dako-dako. Daw bato man to nga gin pudyot sa kalog - 'nano.

Nag sulod ang baye sa kwarto ko nga naga tara-tara.

"Hi hellow!"

Perfectly normal nga daw may pagka abnormal. Ka la-in kay sa pagtulok ko sa iya, napat-inan ko dayon si DAFFY. Wiggol-da-buli bala, so on and so forth.

Daw nasadyahan gid sya, wawawa. Nataranta ako, mu-ers ya. Lumumpat sya sa katre kag NAGSABAK SA AKON! waaaaaa! As in, bwisit! Naga sabak ang isa ka gurang sa mga innosente kong hita. Ang damgo ko nga daw wala lang, nangin bangungot.

Ano man, may pagnanasa ako sa isa ka lata nga mariposa? Indi lang pag i-imagine palihog. Basi kamo na ang madasun nga magdamgo parti sini. Hala.

Bwesit! Masamang pangitain! Sumpa! Indi ko mapa gwa sa ulo ko!

Help me, lord.
