ang mumurahin naming electric bill
they say all prices go up... yeah, there's even an increase in credit card interest rates. i don't feel confident if i only have 100 pesos left in my wallet. i buy a few groceries and ask later on... where did my money go?
water bill, cable bill, phone bill, they constantly increase... but not our electric bill. wanna know how much our monthly electric bill has been for the past few months? f i v e p e s o s. there was an increase the other month. how much? s i x p e s o s... hehe cool? super!
a few months back, we had to blink a thousand times before we convinced ourselves that we really have a five-peso electric bill. we checked the electric meter outside our house and noticed it's broken... it's not moving a nano-inch. haha.
mom called meralco and informed them that they should go check our meter. they said yeah, yeah... and sa awa ng mga particles sa universe, they haven't checked it out yet. mom called them thrice already... no action. gosh... this is the first time we don't complain to poor customer service. haha. for all we care, we could go on like this for years... it's ok. take your time in responding to our request. hahaha!
our neighbors are laughing at us... "why did you report it?" at kung pwede lang siguro nila kaming batukan for reporting it, may mga monthly follow-up pa para ayusin nila ang metro namin, haha... baka duguan na kami. well, we've done our part. we've let them know about it... but until they take action, we're enjoying our five-peso bill!! woohoo!

paranoia - from mild to severe
my first bus ride alone... after the nakaw-cellphone incident, that is. well... it was really traumatic. i couldn't get myself on an fx or a bus last week 'til last night. i was afraid that i might see those bad guys again.
i battled that lightning doesn't strike twice... but these guys are not lightning! hehe... and if i'd be really malas, they might just pick on me again. i hate the "ibigay mo na lang. wala ka namang magagawa eh." thinking. yeah... i don't care about your reasons! this is hard-earned money we're talking about and what gives you the right to just take away things from people? you're a bad person with an ugly heart!
i hate it that we'll just live by that thinking. what... you ride a bus and then some guys who have all the brains and strength in the world will just do tricks on you and land with your possessions... argh... i may have been careless... but i pay my taxes however unreasonable they amount to. i obey laws... don't i, at least, have the right to feel a good amount of security when get home from work? hehe... galit na galit eh. parang naninikip na ang dibdib ko hehehe
well, i made it safely this morning. i held my bag like my heart and my blood vessels were connected to it... and i was really cautious, giving people that "don't you dare put gum on my hair... don't you dare get my pangkaskas 'cause it's mine". i probably would get into trouble giving people that look... but i don't care! just don't take my things.
pre-nakaw paranoia level: ok lang... praning ako
post-nakaw paranoia level: syet... todo na to! maximum level na ang kapraningan ko!

araw ng pamilya
another indicator that kuya has indeed changed into a MAN... he treated us all to a sumptuous lunch yesterday. we asked him what's up... and he said wala lang... he just wanted to treat us all. hihi ayos ka talga! so aira and mikey were invited to share the meal with us. we are family ang dramang ito haha.
the original plan was to go to the new sea side area along macapagal... aling tonya's place makes the best crab recipe! pero... the head count's 7, the car aircon is sira, and we would be packed like hell if we all went there... so modify the plan: kuya will fetch aira, drop ma, mikey, and me off sm while we shop for groceries, and then derecho nang seaside sa baclaran to buy food and eat at home na lang.
yummy crab! grabe! daming aligi! syet... nakabara na sa mga ugat-ugat namin yun! makukulit kayo ah! good luck!
bakit ba? enjoy life! haha watda... masaya ang araw na ito. after the super hearty but unhealthy meal, tulugan na ang lahat... siesta ba. mikey and i slept together... hihi! sa sala lang naman sa sofa bed! at mga 6 inches ang pagitan... and when i move closer, or hug him, alarm alarm ito! he told me to move farther haha! it's like i have ketong! hello! takot na takot eh! di ka naman babarilin ng kuya ko sus. bwahaha he's so funny!
and then... kuya made buyo me to buy a new cellphone. he reasoned that if we used our aged pangkaskas ng yelo aka nokia 7650 phones, bibigay na rin 'to sooner or later. he knows of a place where they'd pay you 3k for your 7650... and then we could buy one of those tiny flip-top phones... the ones that sell for 8.5k, 1-year to pay, at 0% interest... that would be 695 a month... panalo na diba! well, it would appear 5.5k lang bec 3k yung pangkaskas... and 695 a month is all good!
so ang mga lovebirds... aira kuya, mikey and me sugod sa glorietta. we found the perfect phone... nothing fancy... just a cam... doesn't even have IR or bluetooth... but it will do... :) as long as it'll serve its purpose... call, text, and a few pics on the side. all perfect! aight! kaso lang... only 1 unit left so i let kuya have it and the stocks'll come up this wed pa raw. pangkaskas muna ko 'til then. haha!
sunday's all good!

what goes up must come down
i lost my phone... let me put it this way. somebody stole my phone.
i was on my way home this morning. i rode the bus. i sat beside a guy on a three-seater seat. somewhere along buendia, a man with a backpack sat to my right. suspicious? a little he looks like a karpintero... a mama built talga.
i took my phone, sent mikey a text message, waited for his reply, and kept the phone back to my bag. manong carpenter-looking inched his bag towards me. suspicion alarm: high!
suddenly, a man behind me tapped my shoulder and told me that gum is stuck on my hair. and there's the attention grabber! i thanked him politely and i didn't fuss about the gum on my hair. nothing i could do at that moment anyway. i was thinking i need a lot of oil to get the darned mess off my hair. it was probably during that time when manong carpenter-looking somehow took my phone.
when i got home, i cleaned up my hair and thought of checking my phone. and surprisingly, i wasn't surprised to find out my phone is gone... flashback... darn it. there was a replay of how things might have transpired back there. darn it. i trembled... trembling still at this moment. although i'm thinking clearly now, my body trembles involuntarily. para bang gutom... paksyet gutom ata ako eh.... hindi kakakain ko lang ng breakfast... i really am trembling.
i tried to call my number... surprise surprise! "the subscriber cannot be reached..." wahaha! it cannot be reached because i'm here and my phone is somewhere else!! arrrgh! darn it.
darn it darn it darn it
anyway, i reported the lost phone and ms. globe disconnected the line today.
darn it.
a couple of things that made me smile... my mp3 player is still here... my wallet is still here... i'm alive! and scratch-free! only... he had to stick gum on my hair!
hmmm... wait and see. there's a thing i believe on and it's called karma... red my leps k-a-r-m-a. :)
* he might wake up one day... and find out his hair is made of gum... and no amount of oil could remove it. bwahahahaha! or his hand might turn to gum... more cellphones could stick to his hands that way. bwahahahaha! and the phones will ring and attract lightning! ang mr. gum-boy-carpenter-looking will be zapped... but he'll not die. he'll just be zapped everytime the phones ring! and he can't get rid of the phones 'cause those are stuck on his hands. luvely thought! darn it.
i'll wait for phone donors 'til friday. mwehehe... in cash or in kind. pag wala pa rin by saturday, buy na ako... this is a no-fun thought. argh

ang kwintas ni lola
last week, i dropped by cecil's "room" to tell her i'm leaving for work. she was combing her hair. she pointed at something on the floor beside lola's old aparador. it was a necklace.
"ate, tunay yang kwintas na yan?" she asked.
"ay! kay lola yan!" i replied. (just a side note: my lola passed away last 1994) and cecil was frightened she almost freaked out.
i tried to make some sense out of it... how could lola's necklace come out of the padlocked aparador? hmmm... she said she was certain it wasn't there when she swept the floor the other day.
ma said she's 100% sure she neatly kept all of lola's stuff in that aparador many years ago. we could not fathom how it could come out... we don't even know where the key of that aparador is right now... lola, are you trying to tell us something? hmmm... we're a bunch of scoobydoo people... weaklings... arrrgh... don't scare us please. :)
here's the necklace... if i remember it right, tita marie gave it to lola some time ago.
i always thought our house was ghost free... well, my lola is not a ghost... she's my lola. hihi... but lately, there have been a couple of freaky stuff around that's why kuya sleeps in ma's room lately hahaha! duwag! well, good thing i sleep during mornings. :)

farewell part2
for the second time in my lifetime, i'm saying goodbye to donna... they say there should be no goodbyes, but if you come to think of it, it really is GOODBYE... :(
no more 1 hour average of chika over the phone.
no more frequent trips to the rest room and pantry for water.
no more nasty talks.
no more she's-just-an-arm-length-away-anyway thoughts.
last thursday was the first night without donna. when i came in, i saw her empty chair and table... it was the saddest view. i didn't cry... just because i know that was what she wanted... maybe not... but she had to hold on to her decision.
people come. people go. friends come. friends don't go. :)
so lapastanganin muna natin ang testing room... one of the few moments left with donna:
looking at something... can't remember what it is.
family pic?
ulk...
breakfast at pbcom... our 2nd attempt to the rooftop was a failure... again. argh
manong's place... "thank you for calling AWW. this is caths. how may i help you today?" arrgh..
manong, pa picture... please?
hmmm...this scene is familiar. i remember blood and pain the last time we shot something like this.
awww.... waaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

happiness is...
i dunno what makes me feel so happy lately... maybe because everything is just in its proper place and order... not that i wouldn't want to welcome any chaos or disarray... but... i'm just so happy for now. :)
awww
saturday... kuya and aira went to st. francis square to shop for whatevers.
i woke up at 3pm to get ready for char and ate maj's bday party. kuya and aira arrived at around 430 and he handed me a blouse (pic above). and i asked him what that was for. he said he saw these really cheap but nice blouses and he thought of mom and me.
awww... he's changed a lot over time. he wasn't really that much thoughtful in the past... and he would always give that "i don't care" look and attitude. for the past few years, however, he's transformed into someone whom i could really be proud of... acting more like a big bro now... and i love my kuya more each day... 'cause everyday, he strives to be a better person. he's done a great job so far. mwah!
