Magkano bili n'ya?" "4k ata." "Dapat electric na lang pinabili mo." "Asa! Mahal masyado. Ako na lang bibili nun para sa sarili ko. Unless maisipan mo kong regaluhan, di ba?" "Mas malaking ASA! Ha ha! Yung sa kin wala na naman sa tono." "Akin na. Itono ko." "Teka, kunin ko sa kabila." "Sige, sige. Pa-Facebook ah." "Sure. Huwag mo kong i-log out ah. Bukas ka na lang ng ibang browser. May Firefox yan." 1:43 PM "Kamusta naman sa ofis nyo?" "Masayaaaa. Ayun, yung ikukuwento ko sa 'yo! Nag-date kami ni Sir Max kahapon! Eeeeee." "Duh! Na-post mo na kaya sa Facebook yan. Mabenta nga status mo eh,...

"Ay hindi po, ok lang po sa kin, hindi naman po ako mapili sa pagkain." "Ok, great, might as well take our orders na, 1 hour lang ang break natin. Ah, waiter..." "..." "I want one US Beef Bistro Steak with Parmesan Spaghetti. Make it medium well-done. How about you?" "Mag-rice na lang po siguro ako, yung Chicken Tenders with Pepper Gravy." "What? We didn't went here for the rice, di sana nag-Mang Inasal na lang tayo. Try the pasta, masarap mga pasta nila dito." "O sige, yung ano na lang po, ah Chicken & Mushroom Spaghetti." "White Spaghetti... right, if you want more meat, you can add Chicken Fingers to that, you have that, right?" "..." "Charmaigne, I'm t...

April 19, 2011 8:32 AM "Hello, bespren." "Oh, hello, ba't ngayon ka lang nag-load?" "Sensya naman, medyo busy eh." "Akala ko ba may ikukuwento ka?" "Oo nga, eto na nga, kaya nga tinawagan na kita eh, nag-unli na ko para makwento ko sa 'yo" "Sus, tungkol na naman sa boss mo yan eh. Asan ka na ba?" "Nasa MRT pa lang ako, anyway, grabe, nakakakilig kahapon, personal pa kong kinausap nung boss ko para ituro yung framework na gagamitin ko. Grabe talaga kilig ko kahapon, muntik na ko maihi" "Dapat pala may suot kang diaper. He he, oh tapos, anong nangyari?" "Eh di yun. Tapos nag-program na ko." "Yun lang? Kinilig ka na dun?" "Magkatabi kaya kami ng upuan!" "Malamang!" "Heto pa, nung tanghali, magkasabay pa kaming kumain!" "Niyaya ka niyang kumain sa labas? Weh?" "Hindi. Kasi sa ofis namin, merong pantry." "A...

One thing life thought me was that, you should never find happiness from other people. No, you don't need to be a loner, or alienate yourself from the rest of the world. You don't have to be an island. Humans are social beings, and we definitely need other people to last 60-90 years of our life. What I am saying is we should not let other people be our basis for our happiness. If we want to be happy, we should be happy because of ourselves. Not a tough thing to do, right? We start finding happiness by loving ourselves. Remember that famous verse Jesus said in the Bible? "You shall love your neighbor". Seems pretty easy, you say. Jesus here actually is technically saying that we should love almost everyone around us. We should love our family, our friends, our wife or husband, the cleaning lady next door, the traffic enforcer from across the street, everyone! This is one-half of what Jesus referred to as the "greatest commandment". But this commandment act...

<<< Nakaraan JOEY : Hello? SEPH: Hello, Joey, bakit hindi mo sinasagot? JOEY : Seph? Ikaw ba yan? SEPH: Bakit? Sino ine-expect mo? JOEY: Hindi, wala, nasa CR kasi ako eh, tawagan na lang ulit kita mamaya, ok? SEPH: Sige, bye. JOEY: Ok, bye. Binaba ni Joey ang cellphone, at nanlilisik ang mga matang tumitig kay Seph. JOEY: Who the hell was that? Bakit kaboses na kaboses mo siya? What's this? Is this a sick joke na naisip n'yo nila Treena? Well, Mr. Reyes , malayo pa po ang April Fools, and as so you know, it isn't funny. Cut it out, ok? SEPH: Joey, this is not a joke. JOEY: Then what is it? SEPH: Hindi ko din alam! Ang alam ko lang, 4 days ago, Thursday night , nakipag-break ka sa kin. Nagkita tayo nung Friday, we had a closure . Then, I was wasted for a couple of days, yesterday , kinontak ako nila Treena, nagkayayaan, nag-inuman kami, I drove home, drunk, I had an accident, and then, THIS. Ok? JOEY: So, alam mo na pala? SEPH: Ang alin? JOEY: Na gusto ko nang ...

<<< Nakaraan Seph: Why? Joey: I don't love you anymore... Seph: Why? Joey: I don't love you anymore... Seph: Why...? Dahan-dahang lumabas si Seph ng sasakyan. Hindi siya makapaniwalang maayos pa niyang naigagalaw ang katawan niya. He can hardly stand up , saka nya napansin na marami palang tao. He checked himself , nagulat siya nang makita niyang wala siyang sugat maliban sa hiwa sa pisngi na nakuha niya ng pinilit niyang lumabas sa bintana ng driver's seat. Lumakad siyang iika-ika patungo sa sidewalk at naupo sandali sa gutter. Taob ang sasakyan niya, grabe ang sira nito. Pinagtitinginan na siya ng mga nasa paligid, napatingin siya sa kanyang relo -6:45 PM- labasan ng mga nag-oopisina, kaya pala maraming tao. Mula sa mga estrangherong nakatingin sa kanya ng may nag-aalalang mata, he heard a familiar voice. Seph?! Hindi niya alam kung nagha-hallucinate lang siya, pero kilala niya ang boses na yun. ******: Oh my God! Seph, ano nangyari sa 'yo? Seph: Joey? L...

It was 4 days ago , nang nakipag-break si Joey. A day after that, pumunta si Seph sa bahay niya asking for explanations . For a couple of hours, they were quiet , hindi nag-aaway, hindi nagsisigawan, hindi nagsusumbatan. Joey explained, and he heard the things he never imagined he would hear from her. 3 days ago, Seph didn’t showed up for work . Inubos niya ang buong araw na naglalasing. 2 days ago, same. Yesterday , ganun pa rin. Early this morning , nakatanggap siya ng text mula sa isang College friend nila ni Joey. To think na 3 years na silang hindi nagkita-kita na magbabarkada, he never expected na kokontakin siya ni Treena. Natawa na lang si Seph, gusto nyang sabihin na 3 days na siyang umiinom. 10 PM, sa Metrowalk, nagkita-kita ang magbabarkada, nakapwesto na sila Treena, Lex at Faye ng dumating si Seph. Treena: Finally ! Akala ko i-indyanin mo na kami. Seph: Sorry , mahirap mag- park eh. Kamusta na? Long time no see... Lex: Heto, climbing the corporate ladder.. but, we...
