gyoza, anyone?

i finally made gyoza last night. i'd been dreaming about cooking it even before i saw a how-to video on youtube.

preparing the vegetables and crimping the dumplings was so much fun. but i was a little disappointed with my finished product. although i obtained the yummy looking brown crisp on the bottoms, the gyozas were melded together and were difficult to unstuck from the pan. i must have placed them too close and cooked too many at one go... 21 pieces at once!

but, presentation aside, i think it was a success. it all disappeared in snap and my mom asked me how much it would cost if she'd sell it per piece. (haha)

but i think its a little too early for that. i reviewed the video and found out i missed one tasty ingredient, the ginger. of course, i substituted other ingredients and eye-balled the measurements. still, have about 15 pieces left over which i put in the freezer for later. next time, it'll definitely look like these guys:




when i get it perfectly, i'll post my recipe and a picture here.

:D

Roxas Holiday... Take One





*******

Maundy Thursday... i've often wondered what maundy meant... and today i finally googled it (thank God for Google)...

The word "Maundy" is derived from the Latin mandatum meaning "command" - the
same Latin root as mandatory and mandate. This is a reference to Christ's
commandment to love one another, made at the Last Supper (the day before the
crucifixion) when Jesus washed His disciples' feet. - maundy.com

Its Complicated

ito ang relationship status na pinaka asam-asam ko... alam ko hindi maganda ang connotation nito... its either bawal na pag-ibig, bigu, o katupakan lang talaga ang sitwasyun mo kapag ganito ang status message mo...

pero kasi, nag promise ako sa sarili ko na mag change stat ngayong araw ng mga puso... may deadline kasi. dapat married na ako by age 28... so kahit man lang sa guniguni ko pagbigyan na ninyo...

nasa "in relationship" na ako ngayon, by saturday, february 14, 2009... "engaged" na yan!! oh ha!! ang saya ng lola... sa birthday ko: "married"!! at pagka tapos nun... "its complicated" nah!! (evilsmirk) bwahahahaha

magiging eventful talaga ang 2009 ko... lol



*******


on a more serious note...

may i-share akong txt message (oo! buhay na nmn ang txt life ko.. wak kayong magulo! bleh!) galing sa peborit txtmate ko... well, s'ya lang nmn kausap ko araw-araw at gabi-gabi, basta lang hindi maubos ang load at mawalan ng baterya ang tupakin kong selepon...

eto ang sabi nya: "sang may ubra na, pauna una kuwa wallet bayad bills. sang may nobya kag asawa na, padamo damo na rason indi kaupod."

(ng may trabaho na, pasikat labas ng wallet mauna magbayad ng bill. ng may nobya't asawa na, paramihan na ng rason na hindi makasama.)

napatawa talaga ako... sa isip ko lang, this sums up our generation quiet nicely! hahahahaha


*******

FYI...

paparazzi mania

"daw bata gamay ka, mam." sabi ng isang manager dito sa Property. (para sa mga hindi ilonggo ibig sabihin n'yan super kaduper uber to the max maganda ako... hindi kayo maniwala? ok payn. hmp! tanungin n'yo nlng sa iba kng gusto n'yo. bleh!)

sinagot ko s'ya, " ba't mo nmn nasabi?" (tagalog nlng para wala ng magtanong at klaro sa lahat...)


"wala lng", sabi n'ya. "kasi itsura mo eh." sabay chuckle (oo chuckle. hindi nmn gigols at hindi rin nmn guffaw yun eh. wak na hingi ng sample. amp na yan!).

Tagged

Before anything else, let me just say that this tagging business falls under the category of annoying chain mails and text messages for me. However, because it’s the first time I’ve been recognized with an award (no matter how incomprehensible it may be) by no less than Neytan, The King of 10-Cent-Disputes, I decided to waste time on it… for those of you I’m gonna nominate, I apologize in advance. I hope you’ll take this as a compliment.

Logo: Lemonade Award




Rules:

1. Put the logo on your blog or post.
2. Nominate at least 10 blogs which show great attitude.
3. Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.
4. Let them know that they have received it by commenting on their blog.
5. Share the link of the person from whom you received your award.

Let’s see, I’ve got #1 and #5 down. So let’s get on with the show. Here are my nominees for blogs with the most attitude. *insert Oscar award soundtrack* Well, technically I only ever visit and revisit blogs that are on my blog roll and some that interest me along the way as I trawl my way through my usual haunts. Nevertheless, here they are:


1. UtakMunggo – the URL alone will win the attitude award hands down.
2. Kirksydney – the King of 10-Cent-Disputes has got to be on this list.
3. PottyPotski – we’ve all been entertained by his self-proclaimed gender and relationship issues.
4. khzr4u – In truth… I don’t get the blog header! (peace Arn!)
5. GMAC – if the pictures won’t get you then the music references will.
6. Lime Gemini’s Triangle – Little Jan’s page. (I forgot your email, I can’t send the recipe.)
7. joshmarie – well researched articles on timely issues.
8. Mundong Parisukat – joshmarie’s other blog, a little lengthy but good pics.
9. Nakanampucha – I wish someone would contribute a new one…
10. Dan's Photo Blog – Dude! You gotta update this soon!


It’s just now I realize, my blog-hopping experience seems to be a little restricted. Maybe this tagging business isn’t so bad after all. I get to see what’s on your list and widen my sphere a little bit.


But I swear! This is the last tag I’m answering! Tag all you want, its going to stop here!


>:p

P.S. I spent all my lunchbreak commenting on those 10 blogs. Ugh! I swear, this is the last tag ever!

Guest Post: "Langaw"

MGA KWENTONG DUBAI Episode 1
Ukol sa Totoong Karanasan ni Codename: TASUKI
Unang nabasa sa BarkadaAdvisory YahooGroup, May 24, 2006
*******

LANGAW

Dito sa Dubai, di na uso ang daga, ipis, langaw, lamok at langgam dahil malinis ang paligid. Isang araw nang pauwi na ako, sumabay ako sa bus ng aking cliente. Sa lood ng bus, nag-iisa lang akong Pinoy. Lahat puro Pana, Langka at Patan (Indian, Sri Lankan and Pakistani). Bigla na lang akong nagulat nang may nakita akong langaw na lumilipad. Akalain mo nga naman, sa loob ng isang buwan kong pag-iikot, nakakita din ako ng langaw. Ang sikat na langaw ay walang ibang dinapuan kungdi ang inyong abang lingkod. Naisip ko tuloy, siguro nga dito sa Dubai ang mga mababango lang ang dinadapuan ng langaw. O di kaya, Pinoy din ang langaw at natuwa sya nang nakita nya ang kanyang kababayan.

Based on my true experience… igalang ang Copyrights.






*******


Tungkol kay Codename: TASUKI:

Isang kabarkada mula ng hayskul. Kasalukuyang naghahasik ng lagim at magandang amoy sa bansa nang Dubai. Ang financier nang barkada sa christmas parti kahit man sya ay present o hindi. Kelangan lang padalhan nang proweba nang tamang paggamit ng kanyang kontribusyun kahit na picture lang ng aming mga paa suot ang biniling medyas para makapag-bowling! I tell you sinulit namin ang pinadala nyang pera. Exhibit A:






Bakit Tasuki? Kasi mahilig sya sa anime at peborit nya ang karakter ni Tasuki sa Fushigi Yuugi. Yun lang po at wala na talaga syang maalalang magandang pen name.. nyahahaha.

Abangan ang susunod na kabanata!

Says Who?

I've been having trouble with my net connection and it has been insurmountably frustrating to not be able to get in contact with my online friends, plurk, or reply to comments on my blog.

However, even though my YM is going bonkers on me and I can't be sure when I'd be able to read messages again, Danny still gave me a link even though I repeatedly told him i couldn't read a thing on our YM conversation window.

I check the archive once in a while and sometimes the darned thing works. Good thing or I would have missed this:
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Blogger Personality Type

Guys! Read Dr. M's post and I'm sure you'd be able to nod in agreement at her assessment.

Now here's something to say to your real-time friends when they look at you wierd and comment on your social skills: "I blog! What do you do??!!"

Nyahahahah.

Abangan po ninyo!

Sunday Crisis


I feel like I’m in the midst of an identity crisis. Bombarded by too much information, examples, and suggestions I am overwhelmed by the options open to me. But then, I received a text message from my cousin, Ruth. This is what it said: “The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity. Choosing right over wrong, ethics over convenience, and truth over popularity. These are the choices that measure our life. Travel the path of integrity without looking back, for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.”

Hmmnn… as usual she didn’t put the author. This irritates me no end. It rubs against my strict scholarly training on responsible authorship. What else could I do? Google it, of course.

Unfortunately, this proved to be a little harder than I originally thought. I found 10,400 hits on it and the first page did no more than give me links to citations, lists of unlabeled quotes, a mission statement of a pool company, and one article that tagged it with “Unknown” author. Too much for one person already bombarded by too much information. So I dropped it. Let it be tagged: Anonymous. (nyahahaha)

Enough digression. Where was I? Oh yes, identity crises. Now, there I was, mulling over the text message when it suddenly occurred to me. I don’t have to change anything. I just have to be myself! (grin)

So instead of worrying over changing my blog title, I just have to put in a description. Give it a little bit of focus. That’s it, and no more. Yeay!

Look up, guys. Here’s to me! :D

*******
I actually wrote an article yesterday but unfortunately I can’t transfer the darned file ‘cause I don’t have an extra USB to use. The one I’ve been using was my brother’s Sony Walkman thingie and I’d already returned it to him. My dad’s USB was with him since his Acer was with me (nyahah!), so that leaves me with nothing, nada! Man, I really have to buy me one of those things!

And thanks to Danny for the picture... :D

ReVamp

I've really been thinking seriously about renaming my blog. I know, I know. I already mentioned this in one of my previous post. But, now I'm really serious.

Pot has given me the following suggestion: (1) HR's Point of View; (2) Arachne's Web -after my handle, obviously; (3) Delimiting Factor - "para walang limit"; (4) What Went Right - in my life, kuno; (5) Too Soon For Things - engot daw ako sa marami pang bagay.

As you can see, Pot has given me a lot of things to chew over... I decided to synthesize our exchange and this is what I got:

Title: Arachne's Web
Description: No limit to the things that can go right, yet too much engotness for anybody's safety.


Hmmmn... sounds close... but, not quiet.

Anybody else want to toss in their thoughts???

The Weight Issue

Last Friday, I happened to meet a friend of mine at the mall. She complimented me on my corporate get up (no one is used to me dressing up it seems), but then she also said:


Nice: Pol, nag-niwang ka guid man. (Pol, you’ve really grown thin.) *fixing my necklace and smoothing my hair away from my shoulders*

Me: Not you, too. *looks at her weird*



I met my cousin last night while I was walking along Valeria Street to my jeepney stop. Of all the things she said to me, this is what I remember.


Ida: Caz, nagniwang ka na! (Caz, you’re so thin!) *grabs me by the arms*

Me: Wala ah. Sus! *peeved*


It was dark and I was wearing a black skirt and blazer.



This morning, one of my friends dropped by the office. I asked him to apply with the company and he was scouting the area so to speak. Again he mentions the state of my body weight:

Daniel: Ganiniwang ka na di. (You’re getting thin here.)

Me: Indi, ah. Wala ko bi day-off… hahaha. (Not really. I just don’t have days-off.)

It’s not true of course. I do have my day-off every Saturday. But, I also go to grad school. So…

Maybe I lost a couple of pounds but I am not on a diet and neither am I trying to be thin! Aaaargh!


After lunch today, while walking back to my office, I met an old schoolmate from college:

Raincel: Nag-sexy ka na guid. Maintain ang figure. *admiring glance* (You’re so sexy. You’ve maintained your figure.)

Me: Haha. Why, thank you. Tanan na lang naghambal nagniwang ko. (Everyone’s been saying I’m so thin.)

Raincel: Indi ah. Daw pareho ma lang sang college ta. (Not really. Just the same as when we were in college.)

Me: Amo mana gani hambal ko. (That’s what I’ve been saying all along. )

Ha! I told you I'm not thin! So, there!

Tall Order

I have an anonymous text-friend. Sa dialect: txtm8.

I don’t know his name, age, address, profession, or even how he got my number. But, because he piqued my interest and gave me stimulating intellectual discussion (Read: He has a lot of ideas I enjoy dissecting and contradicting.) I decided not to zap him with my deadly sarcasm and instead gave him the chance to bask in the light of my wisdom.

This decision did not disappoint me. I found him to be a good grinding stone on which I could sharpen my resolve on a few beliefs and clarify uncertainties on several points. Not to mention the fact that I derive immense satisfaction in donning my Scary-Strong-Woman persona when I talk to him. (hihihi)

In fact, here are my thoughts and reactions to our discourse on relationships, love, and commitment:

1. You don’t fall in love unknowingly. Pero tamad at duwag lang talaga ang tao, some can’t take responsibility for themselves kaya nirarason na lang kung ano-ano.

2. Lumalabas ang pagiging psychologist ko at umiiral ang cognitive-affective leanings ko when I talk about human behavior during what most romantically refer to as “being in love” or “falling out of love”. Take the following statements he sent me:

a. “Feelings change”: TRUE
b. “Sometimes no matter how much you stop the feeling it just grows stronger. You just can’t deny or take for granted what you really feel.”: FALSE (boo!)

3. People make mistakes when they give in to their weakness. Kaya, naghahanap ako ang lalaking matatag din sa puso at isipan. May nahanap at nakilala na akong mga lalaking ganito. Kaya nga lang ay may mga pag-ibig na sa buhay at kailangang respetuhin ang kanilang choice.


4. People who don’t know, not to mention like themselves, generally don’t know how to accept, let alone love, other people. Ika nga, “You can’t give what you don’t have.”

5. Idealist ako when it comes to the subject of love and commitment. Trust, honesty, and respect are words you have to learn and live by when you go into any relationship. Take note, this is true for all relationships.

6. I fervently believe that relationships can only work with a lot of hard work. It’s not always pretty, happy, or agreeable. It takes conscious effort, a lot of appreciation, compromise, and less whining, criticism, and excuses.

7. Wala akong pasensya sa mga taong kayang ipagtanggol ang sarili nila by just saying “I couldn’t help it. ‘Di ko mapigilan ang sarili ko.” Wattah!

8. Kung kaya nang lalaki maging taksil, kaya rin ni babae. Mas socially acceptable lang ang una kesa sa pangalawa. At karamihan sa mga lalaki ay hindi ito kayang tanggapin o aminin. Mas mainam na makahanap nang lalaking alam ito, para hindi siya magkamaling i-take for granted ang pagtingin ni babae.
Hmmnn… I’m getting all worked up. Eto na lang. Kung interesado kayong maki-txt sa anonymous friend ko narito and ilang detalye tungkol sa kanya: (veracity unknown)


· Ang pangalan niya sa phonebook ko ay “Prayer”. He used to send me prayers
during the first month he txted me. Walang palya, kaya yun na ang pinangalan ko sa kanya.

· He’s a he. Nabisto ko siya nang muntik na akong awayin nang magpasaring akong baka me boyfriend s’ya. Buti na lang at dinaan niya sa tawa. (hyuk hyuk hyuk) Guys are so predictable when their manhood is threatened. Tsk!

· He lives and works in Iloilo. Sa Miagao ang hometown niya.

· May girlfriend siya pero nag-break na raw sila. (?)
· Hindi ko gusto ang choice niya nang forwarded txt joke na una niyang binigay sakin. Doon ko nasigurado na lalaki nga siya. Read between the lines.
· He doesn’t want to give me his name so I have a dark suspicion that I know or have met him somewhere. Mokong talaga!
· Ang cellphone number n’ya ay: 09107827926. Kung kilala niyo ang taong ito… regards na lang sa kanya. Nyahahaha.

I do wonder how I get these mysterious text friends. He’s actually the 3rd one whose exhibited similar beliefs about the subject. I find it irritating and sad at the same time that they could hold such misconceptions about things that I thought were so obvious. And all these texters arrived right after I broke up with my last boyfriend. What is it? Do I have a sign lit up across the universe that says “Recently broke-up. Ask about lessons learned from the experience”???

As if!


Break-up with your own boyfriend or girlfriend! Then invite me to talk about your experience!

Cardigan & Prose

Nung isang gabi nakita ko sa kwarto nakasabit ang bagong damit na pasalubong nang Tita ko ke youngest sister. Kaninang umaga sinuot ko ito with the intention of wearing it to work. Cute sana, bagay na bagay sa’kin pero sleeveless it. Bumaba ako at naghanap nang ipapares na blazer, jacket, o bolero. After trying on 9 different blazers and jackets, with my cousin and aunt giving me enthusiastic suggestions, I decided to change my outfit…

What the hell use are 9 blazers, jackets, and boleros when all you need is 1 black cardigan?!

Note to self: Buy black cardigan ASAP!!!! (grrrrr)


*******

Naiinis ako. Tanungin mo ako kung bakit, sige na.
Naiinis ako sa isang tao. Tatanungin mo ba kung sino?
Naiinis ako sa nangyari. Wag mo nang itanong at sasabihin ko!
I asked you out tonight. Walang reply, kahit isang txt man lang.
Alam mo namang nastress ako sa trabaho at kailangan kong makasama ka.
Pero nauna na naman ang trabaho mo. Ewan ba at baka rasun lang yan dahil may iba na.
Ano nga ba ako sa buhay mo? Hindi ka ba sigurado?
Ayaw mo akong masaktan pero paulit-ulit mo akong iniiwasan.
Tama na ang luha, tama na ang pag-iintindi.
Tama na ang “Salamat” na iyong sinabi.
Masakit aminin pero totoo nga kaya, na wala nang laman ang iyong mga sinasabi.

Nag-txt ka na naman. Tinatanong kung ok lang ako.
Kung pinaunlakan mo ako eh sana hindi mo na tinatanong yan.
Ang labo talaga nang mundong ginagalawan natin.
Nagkikita lang tayo sa kawalan nang internet, sa YM, o sa SMS.
Nakikihalubilo sa kapwa mga nawala o nawawala.
Tanging blog at online forum ang kinukunan nang inspirasyun.
Sana naman ay magtagpo na ang imahinasyun mo at pantasya ko.

Wag kang mag-alala wala akong hinahabol dito.
Sumusulat lang ako nang sinasaloob ko.
Ekpermento ito, tawag ay free association writing.
Kahit ako ay namangha sa mga salitang kusang namutawi sa aking screen.
Kung sino ka man, sana ay magpakilala kana.
Magpakita man lang kahit saglit lang.
Nang hindi naman masayang ang aking pinaghirapan.
At nang mapagtanto kong meron ngang taong tinutukoy dito.

(lol) Arnie, I thought I’d try my hand at song writing. Sorry at mejo prose lang ang kaya ko. Nyahahaha…

*******

Can somebody tell me how come I can't register my blog account through Word 2007? (annoyed) hhhrrrrr... access restriction ba ito?!

Enter: Taray Queen

I’ve been thinking of making over my blog-site. Change the name, look, etc… I think I’ve been Miss Goody-Goody for too long. I need to spice up my site and live up to my new reputation of being the resident HR of Plurklandia.

Maybe then I can command some respect with the Pikon and Bugnutin types. Hmmmn? What do you think?

New Blog Site Name: Taray Queen
Banner Intro: Constrained with the Truth but believing in the adage: “Don’t say anything if you can’t say anything nice.” Be warned. If I have nothing to say to you, take it as a compliment. :D

Makahingi na nga rin nang magandang picture kay Pot. Siguro yung mga Japanese masks na ginagamit nila sa kabuki play na nakasimangot. (nyahahaha) Pangtaboy ata ng mga evil spirits yun.


******


Noong isang gabi, habang nagsusulat ako nang blog update, nakinuod ako sa dalawa kung pinsan at kapatid nang dvd. Ang entertainment choice nila: The Prom. A slasher flick starred by Brittany Snow about a young girl fatally stalked by her teacher, killed her family and three years later is attending her senior prom. Predictably, the mad-stalker gets away from prison on the day of the prom and incidentally stayed at the same hotel they were holding the party.

I don’t know why my sister loves horror-suspense flicks, to tell you the truth. Nang dahil sa hilig n’ya nkapanood ako nang The Ring (Japanese & Hollywood version), The Grudge, Dark Water, The Eye, at kung ano-ano pang titulo nang Thai kulam movies (oo, meron sila nun! At nakakatakot talaga. Promise!). Personally, mas gusto ko yung mga feel good movies, especially kapag gabi na nanonood. Mas mahimbing naman ang tulog mo pagkatapos kapag masayahing pelikula ang pinapanood mo, diba? Diba?! Pero ewan dun!

Wala akong choice kasi ginawa nilang sleep-over camp ang bahay namin dahil nagbabakasyun ang magulang at nakababatang kapatid ko sa Lola namin. Kaming dalawa lang ng Sis sa bahay kaya minabuti nilang doon narin makikikain at makikitulog hanggang sa araw ng undas. (Ewan ko lng kung ano na naman ang panonoorin nila mamaya. Haayz!)

Hindi ko mapigilan, nakatutok din ang mata ko sa tv kahit na alam kong hindi ko lang magugustuhan ang makikita ko. Sinabihan ko na silang iba nalang ang panoorin pero ala talaga. Yun ang gusto nila. Syempre pa, puro lang habulan at saksakan at patayan ang nangyari sa pelikula. Tanong ko nga sa sarili ko, ano ba ang masaya dito at parang aatakihin lang ako sa puso nang lentik na pelikulang ito. (huhuhuh)

Nang matapos ang pelikula naghanap sila nang anime movie para mawala ang kaba nila. Malas at hindi gumana ang Get Backers. Sana nanood narin ako para mapawi ang nerbyos ko. Pero hindi, isa na namang suspense thriller ang gumana. Sus Maria! Tinapos ko nalang ang editing ko at umakyat sa kwartu.

Bahala kayo sa mga multo!

Blog ito para sa mga idol ko

Sa totoo lang mahina ako sa Pilipino. Sa totoo lang ito ang pinaka heyt kong subject nong elementarya at hayskul pa ako (buti na lang at wala nang Pilipino sa kolehiyo). Pero nang mabasa ko si Bob Ong nagbago ang lahat. At nang madiskubre ko ang mga Pinoy blogger sa internet, mas lalong nagliwanag ang aking mundo… ok, ok, erase that bit. Exaggeration na po ‘yan. Hindi naman ganun ka dilim sa sulok ko although, come to think of it, lumiwanag nga ito nang dahil sa mga nakilala ko sa Plurk.

Be that as it may, at coño na kung coño, magsasalita este magsusulat ako nang Pilipino para sa mga idol ko. Kung sino man kayo, eh, kayo na lang ang magdiskubre.

Ngayon, dahil ang pinaguusapan natin ay mga idol, let me tell you about my crush *kilig*. Teheh. Ang crush ko ay gwapo, magaling magsalita (at may laman din ang salita), may sense of humour, hindi takot sa libro, at may prinsipyu sa buhay. Ang tawag ko sa kanya ay si *drum roll please* Cute, Articulate Guy.

Ayan naaaninag ko na naman siya sa balintatanaw nang aking imahinasyun *kilig, kilig*. And the best part, alam n’yo kung ano..? He’s out of my reach! Bahahaha.

‘Wag kayong mag-alala, hindi pa ako nawawalan nang katinuan. Ang ibig lang sabihin n’yan ay walang pag-asa na maging kami at forever s’yang magiging crush ko! Weeeh!

Let me explain ang origin nang konseptong ito. Nung hayskul kami, ang bestfriend kong babae ay may crush na upper-classman. Gwapo, magaling magsalita, may sense of humour, hindi takot sa libro, at may prinsipyu sa buhay… teka nga, parang familiar ah… Ahehehe kaya pala magbestfriend kami. At sa atin lang, kung hindi niya una sinabi na crush niya si Kuya *toot* eh di sana hinayaan ko na rin ang sarili kong magkacrush dun. Hmmmnn, kaya lang survival rule ata nang best-friendship na huwag magkaroon nang crush sa iisang lalaki. At hindi pa pumapalya ang rule na ito at mag-bestfriend parin kami makalipas nang mahigit sampung taon.

Pero balik sa topic. So ang crush nang bestfriend ko ay walang malay sa HD niya mula nung first year kami (I think crush na niya yun first year palang) hanggang magtapos kami (or kung nalaman man ay ‘di na ito nagpahalata). Nagka-girlfriend na ito at nagkasama na kami sa kung ano-anong mga skul aktibitis at gimmick ngunit dihins niya ito ginawang rason para magtapat o magparamdam man lang nang sinasa loob niya. Pero, kung kami na ang mag-usap, naku po! Drama to the max! Ngunit agree kami sa isang bagay, masarap magka-crush kapag alam mong wala tsansang magi-evolve ito sa kung ano.

Paano, tanong niyo? Well, it’s so much better to have a crush when they don’t know! Kung nagka-alaman kaya eh ‘di nawala ang kilig, ang thrill, ang secret rush tuwing nasisilayan mo ang taong para sa iyo ay tanging rason bakit ang aga-aga mong gumigising kahit na walang flag ceremony from Tuesdays to Fridays.

Malas nga lang at wala akong taong kinababaliwan nung hayskul. Sayang, sana perfect attendance ako sa Chem class ko. Sana nabawasan ang mga class period na inuukol ko sa Chem stairs dahil hindi na pwede pumasok sa klase ni Ma’am Ibabao kapag ikaw ay nali-late. Haayz…

Ang ending? Sa kalagitnaan nang turbulent highschool life namin, may napagtanto akong ilang bagay na kahit ngayon ay nakatatak parin sa aking isipan. Ang mga ito ay: Una. Masarap tumambay sa Chem stairs kapag marami kayo, nakikiharutan at tsismisan kasama ang barkada. Pero hindi masarap kapag nag-iisa ka lang umupo dito dahil na-lock out ka sa klase mo. Pangalawa. May pakinabang naman pala ang crush (huwag kang maniwala sa nanay mo, ok lang magka-crush). Hindi totoong sa lahat nang pagkakataon ay makaka-sama ito sa pag-aaral mo. Gaya nang pag-avoid nang mga Chem stairs incident tulad nang nasabi sa itaas. Pangatlo, mainam magka-crush sa taong wala kang pag-asa dahil mas maliit ang tsansa na makakahalata siya o kung makahalata man ay wala siyang pakialam at most probably ay hindi ka pahihiyain.

O? say niyo? ‘Diba it makes sense? Kung hindi kayo convinced, alalahanin niyo nalang kung anong nangyari sa mga crushes niyo dati. Saan ba ang mas intense and feeling? Yung time na walang kaalam-alam ang crush mo o yung nalaman na niya? San ba ang mas enjoy? Yung bang tumatago ka sa restroom para masilip siya sa basketball court na nasa gilid nang building o yung time na iniiwasan mo siya dahil alam mong alam na niya? Hmmnn..?

At para sa Cute, Articulate Guy ko, kapag nakabisita ka sa blog ko, mabasa mo ito, at ma-gets mong ikaw nga ang tinutukuy ko, please lang, huwag mo nang ipahalata na alam mo. Para naman hindi ako mapilitang maghanap nang iba. Para naman mapahaba ko ang aking kilig moments tuwing ma-encounter kita. Yun lang hihingin ko. Ok na ako.

Hayaan mo na lang na maging crush kita.

Disclaimer: Dahil nga ito ay nasa Pilipino, hindi gumagana ang Spell Check o Grammar Check dito. Kaya pagpasensyahan niyo na kung merong mga salita na bago niyo lang ma enkwentru. Let’s just chalk it up to artistic license. Amin ko naman na hindi ako magaling sa Pilipino. :p

Initial List Only (woot)

How do you know that you’re a Plurk addict…


1. You can’t go a day without visiting your timeline and leaving a comment on at least 5 threads.


2. You become adept at limiting your thoughts to 140 characters, emoticon included.

3. You practice “multi-tasking” at work and always leave the net browser on your plurk page open.

4. You check your karma level every hour on the hour, trying to see how the darned thing computes itself.

5. You plurk on the move! Mobile phone, netbook, blackberry, pda, what-not… and if you’re looking to buy a new gadget, you make sure you get connectivity so you can plurk!

6. You chat on YM or other IM formats and you type: (annoyed), (cozy), (unsure), (dance), (rock), etc., as your emoticon. Or at least browse the emoticon list for the same.

7. You constantly refer to yourself in the third party (e.g. “the Arachne FEELS hungry ”, “the Arachne NEEDS to eat lunch, now”).

8. You inject Plurk-lingo into your everyday reaction. E.g. comment to your dad: “This Papa, watta-ewness he is!” after a certain “smoke bomb” incident.

Hmmmnnn… how many of those do I exhibit? (lol)


For those plurk addicts out there, please feel free to add your plurk… ehr comments, to my list. :D
