PENCILicious


I’m doing Basic Skills Training for the Nth time for the Nth job… But as they say, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going…

Moving on, we had an essay activity wherein where we choose one out of three topics. I choose the topic that is more familiar to me. I chose “Explain three uses for a pencil besides writing.”

I can explain several uses for a pencil but I will cite the three uses that are charged to my experience and experimentation.

First use is as weapon of choice. I was in prep, the level after pre-school and before starting grade 1. One of my classmates stabbed my left hand between my middle and pointing fingers because he was furious and jealous that my other classmate gave me his stickers. We ended up at the principal’s office.

Next use is for personal leisure. When I was in high school, my best friend has a sister who relentlessly collects pencils in all shapes, sizes, and colors. She neatly placed her collection in a big canister. Curious, I asked my best friend why her sister collects them. She sarcastically commented,”She doesn’t have a boyfriend, that’s why.” After hearing that, I swore not to touch those pencils ever again.

The last use that I can think of is for gastronomic use. A pair of pencils can replace chopsticks during a sudden Asian take out at the office. But I would definitely think twice before using pencils because of the chance of getting sick due to lead poisoning.

Nevertheless, therefore I conclude that pencils should only be used in perpetuity for it’s intended use, that is for writing and drawing. Seriously!

Dear Kris



Dear Kris,

I honestly do not know where to send you a fan mail so I just posted it here.

I started becoming your fan when I watched the movie, “Mano Po”… You really deserved that MMFF Best supporting actress award. I hope you can make a sequel to that with a reunion with Maricel Soriano and Ara Mina.

I can say that I am not really that “die-hard” type of fan but more of a sophisticated one.

I like a lot about you but I not everything about you.

I always liked your San Miguel Beer commercial with Derek Ramsey, the one where you are driving a Ferrari. Since then, I have been collecting Ferrari car models.

I like also your fashion sense, with an exception of your “Game Ka Na Ba?” trench coats which you have in multiple colors. But at least you have redeemed yourself after that with designer gowns and ternos.

We are both Aquarians. I was born February 13, 1983. I guess that attributes a lot why I like you.

I just wrote this letter to tell you how much I am saddened of the passing of your mom. Seeing you cry really made me cry. I felt your pain and your loss.

The best time I saw you on TV with your mom was when you had that exclusive interview with Korina Sanchez on TV Patrol few years back. After that said interview, your mom, facing away from the cameras comforted and hugged as you kept on crying on her shoulder uttering, “ Mom, I’m sorry.” I can’t explain the exact feeling that I felt watching that but I somewhat felt secured for you.

I am your fan because in your imperfection, you always do your best to be the best that you can be in your every endeavor, even in thank you speech in Manila Cathedral.

But as your fan, I understand if you won’t be your usual self for the meantime.

After all, there is that big loss and emptiness in your heart for your mom.

Take your time for a time out.

Nevertheless, I am still your fan no matter what.

Hindi ka nag-iisa…

I hope you can read this.

Take care.

God bless.

Boys Over Flower Power



The Korean version of the japanese mangga "Hana Yori Dango" is now on Philippine television via media empire, ABS-CBN.

The first version is from Taiwan, titled "Meteor Garden" in English starred by the F4. Who doesn't know? It was also first aired on Philippine television by ABS-CBN.

The first episode really left every viewer asking for more! very addictive!

My heart just stopped for a second when a scene showed the boys' collection of leather shoes displayed on a wall, not just a rack, a wall! It really showed how much is spent on the show which indeed paid off!

Definitely, this is a sure hit!

Aja!

Collection

Let me just share my collection...

...nope!!! I'm not just collecting empty plastic bottles...

I have a collection of red car models... i'm currently concentrating more on the Ferrari brand.

The rest of my collection are not yet released of the packaging because I'm hoping they will worth more someday!

I'm usually in greenhills once a month because it is way cheaper than in malls and I can bargain.



After watching, Transformers the movie, I got hooked with the Chevrolet Camaro that I also collected 2 of them, namely Bumblebee (stealth) and Cliffjumper. I call them twins!

How about you? What do you collect? hehehe!!!

The Man from Manila




In memory of the Master Rapper, The Man from Manila,

Francis Magalona

(October 4, 1964 - March 6, 2009)

So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
