Gypsy

i found out that i am a gypsy in one way or another.

i remain to one area in a span of time and move again to another one as soon as i am feed up with the environment i am into.

i could not believe it at first but i saw it in my own eyes at this very moment. i've been jamming with friends for about a week now in one area alone, enjoying the breath of the polluted air and the customary walks of people from every day life.

but i am waiting for the moment to go again and look for another venue to hang out with what gypsies do:look, stay, enjoy and move on...


Everyone is a gypsy.Everyone....

busy days

dont have time to write lately

work is crushing hard on me

need to sneak a few verse

just to make sure blog is still on

so hello and goodbye, back to work fellow....

foggy thursday

i woke up in the morning

smelled dafodils all around me

watched the mist go down my window,

can't believe winter has drawn.

i hurriedly step down the stairs to see

what a magnificient view it can be

i watched how it goes down

the foggy clouds invading on me

as people watched me in delight celebrating the nature in me

i incessantly wondered why....

nakalimutan ko pala mag pantalon as i watched foggy thursday!

HAPPY

I've attended two birthday parties in a span of two weeks.
I'd say i observed a lot about these soirees....

Paanu ba maging masaya ang happy birthday party mo? Heres some suggestions i got from the experts:

H - Hot chicks... dpat meron kang ganito sa party mo, kait pangit ang mga guys basta ang chicks malulupet. Madadala mo ang party kait saan, kait wla kang pera.

A - Amoy. importanteng me amoy ang handa mo. Hindi lang amoy na masarap, pero ung talagang masarap. Ikaw at ang handa mong pagkain ang magbibigay sau ng maraming bati hindi ang suot mo.

P - People. Sinu sinu ba invited mo, kung tatlo lang kayung umattend at kait wala yun celebrant magiging masaya pa rin ang birthyda party, yun na yun, kase maiintindian niya kait wala sya dail para sa kanya itong birthday party na ito. tama ba baby!?

P - Pihikan. wag kang pihikan sa birthday mo. pangit ang resulta nito. meron akong barkada naka receive siya ng ice cream sa bisita niya, un tahimik ang bisita pero un ice cream hindi. ang resulta: i remember the quezo real but don't remember the guest (kanta ito...sing it...).

Y - Yup. English word na patok na patok sa party. Hijo sarap ng pagkain ha, Yup! Miss kilala mo me birthday, Yup!, ikaw ba nagluto nito,Yup!, sarap ha!, iba ka talaga pare, galing birthday mo, Yup!, Berto labas mo na alak? Yup!


So that's it for me, enjoy the parteeeeee!

KOLOKOY by love guru "ZJ"

"Kung di ka nga naman tinamaan ng lintek.
What do you want in your relationship? you want to destroy or norture it?"

ganyan tayu palagi, we do silly stuff sometimes just to boost our ego, para sabiin na ng tropa na malupet tayu, na saksakan tayu ng galing pag dating sa relationships. Na "bro- i can handle this" statement ang palagi nating sinsabi sa mga kakosa kase we want to proved something, na kung kaya nila ay kaya ko rin.

Alam mo bang this one belief is so pathetic. Bakit gagawin mo ang gusto ng tao para sau eh kung alam mo naman na di mo kaya ito. And beside, we might live on one planet alone but we're a different species. ikaw at ako kait pagsabay sabayin pa natin gawin yun, kait parehas pa ang sistema and procedures na gusto mo ipagawa sa isat-isat, iba pa rin result nun sa kanya kanyang tao kase ibat ibat species tayu....

Berto gets mo....

Berto: hindi boss, meron akong pulutan dito mackerel gusto mo?

FARM

I always wanted to have a farm when I retire into oblivion.

I deserve some space to bring solace to my weary mind

I need something like this.

ranting

Why is it people rant about something and someone?

I really dont know either...

galit ba sila sa mundo or talagang yung lang paraan nila para masatisfy cravings nila for some actions.

Ranting means from dictionary.com: to speak or declaim extravagantly or violently; talk in a wild or vehement way.

Do we like doing it na we do it everytime mayroon tayung kinaiinisan?

I guess we will never know because for once what i am doing now is a form of ranting.

No blog

kinda hectic and manic the last week or so with work that's why i dont have the strength to move the cursor and start jotting my ideas for my blog....

fortunately all is quite in the office today so i finally log on.

What ever you have in your mind di lahat un pwide isulat, di lahat pwide gawin at di lahat pwide sabiin.

case in point:

di pwide isulat - pag wala ka maisip, ang ginagawa ng utak mo ay mag isip ng wala, malamang un ay di pwide isulat

di pwide gawin - kung ikaw ay tulog at ang isip mo ay gusto na gumising, sige nga ikaw ba gusto mo umalis sa pagkakatulog at magtrabaho na, no no no way Berto, ur not coming over here to wake me up

di pwide sabiin - kung sa inaakala mo ay sasabiin ni clark kent na sya si superman, nagkakamali ka, kung un pag lagay niya ng salamin eh nagoyo ka niya na hindi mo maaninag na sya ay si man of steel, sasabiin pa kaya niya,wait pag nilasing mo sya malamang mapaamin, pre 'dre long shot un,si superman un,di nalalasing ang mga ganun...

Quotes from Techy guy

We were having dinner, just the three of us, Techy guy, angelina and me...

I couldn't help but wonder how come techy guy was so enamored by this woman he recently met

Well, its hard to see from his movements if he is really beholden to this girl but read out between the lines what he is saying:

* alam mo pag magkasama kami tumitigil ang mundo ko (baka naman nasa cr ka at irap ka umiri)

* ayaw ko kase mawala ka (baka indi pa sya nag babayad ng utang sau)

*di pa ba importante na andito ako sau (dude me trabaho sya wag ka istorbo)

*ikaw lang ang napapasaya sa akin ( free jokes)

*sana lahat ng tama ay tama na lang, sana lahat ng mali ay mali na lang (tumpak berto)

* lam ko pag me problema ako andyan ka palagi ('dre ok lang nursing kaya natapos niya)

*pag smile ako,smile din sya (baliw?)

Take your pick, piso piso lang...

KONTRAPELO

How would you know ang isang taong kakilala mo ay iyong kontrapelo?

Here are some hints:

Pag umoorder ka sa restaurant ng pizza eh ang gusto niya ay tapa with egg

Pag sinabi mong peborit mo si superman pero ang gustong gusto niya ay si aquaman (sinu un?)

Kait nagpapatawa ka pero deadma sya, ito ay isang kontrapelo

Pag gusto mu manood ng comedy sa sinehan at bumili sya ng ticket sa horror show,patay ka na ito ay isang...

At Pag kumontra ka dail sa tingin mo hindi ako magandang lalaki sau, ikaw ay isang certified na k-o-n-t-r-a-p-e-l-o

A-M-A-T-E-U-R

Said by Techy guy a lot of times.

He refers to anyone who made an incredible mistake in their lives.

It's really a general term for him.

Kait anu basta sa tingin niya the person is such a dumb ass, ang tawag niya duon ay A-M-A-T-E-U-R

Kaya ikaw malamang pag nakita mo sya sabihan ka rin niyang ganyan pag di maayos araw niya.

Syanga pala he plays in an amateur league....bangko nga ata sya one time i watched it.

Amateur nga.

"Berto ang pulutan luto na?...."

Heroes

i had to save the floor,

a bottle of catsup is sliding and dropping down fast and the only way to save it from breaking is

to lean the foot upfront...

Bang!!! it hit me and it hurts...ouchhh...

but i have to do it, i don't want to mess the kitchen hall and make a big fuss early in the morning...

Joeben: Berto lika nga sandali,kunin mo un johnie walker at tutunggain ko, sakit sa paa eh

Berto: sir wag kayung sumigaw tulog pa mga tao rito, yan mag napoleon kayu....

Save the catsup, save the world....

Time

Everyone needs time to heal each other wounds.

That's a fact and it's a given.

Whatever happen, whatever situation we are in right now let time makes the healing...

Taas ang bote and cheers: "to the wounds that never heals"

Salvation by JoeBenski

Why blame the downturn of the Philippine economy in 2008 to the global slowdown of major world markets?

Can we not be self relient na tayu na lamang ang makakabuhay ng ating mga nagugutom na tiyan?

Do we live in a inter-dependent world that whatever happen to a white-man suffering is the same as to the brown-man?

Questions i ask myself habang umiinum ng aking johnie walker....

We can survive if we plant fruit and vegetables in our garden, a simple suggestion to a worldwide need. If we survive, we will attain salvation.

Joebenski: Berto un order ko na pulutan ang tagal....

Berto: Sir wala po supply ngayon, daming biniling boy bawang ang mga japanese, sarap daw kase.

LUCK by Love guru "ZJ"

"Sometimes you need a hell lot of luck to succeed" - anonymous

That's really from me, not from someone i dont know.

We all like to gamble (lucky 9,sangla at taching) but do we know what would be the result?
I bet you too don't know either 'coz it's the mystery, it's the excitement of pushing boundaries to the edge.

I'd say we pursue everything, gamble everything...One way or another we will win 'coz you know something deep with in there is one star that means "lucky", and as you and i push our luck, perhaps we can succeed, and i suppose we will.

You cannot win without gambling on it, and you cannot gamble without pushing your luck altogether.

Sister Stella L. was lucky. She always say: "I love you Lucky"

Travelling in Sh. Zayed road

I always travel in this road; not by my insistence but by the driver's choice.

I always think about something whenever i'm beginning the see the road....

I think about my past, think about my present,

think about my sorrow, my pain

think about my laughter and my jokes

think about sick people, think about not so sick people

think about zarita, think about her all the time

i think about you

this road leads to many hours of thinking........

Were's your road???

Y-M-C-A

They all have one thing in common: they dance to this tune.
No matter what jobs you may have, whether it may be the indian guy who prays for rain for his tribe, may as it may the policeman who patrols the street or the carpenter who makes the house, we are all the same
We live in an imperfect world and all material things that goes on with it passes to us one way or another. It might take some of us faster or a little longer to achieve it but certainly the gods would give in and we will enjoy our fruits at the end of the day.

So i'd say.... It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A. It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.

Racism and pride

it goes hand and hand...

Racism i guess can only exist because we have so much pride in ourselves. We are accustomed to living a life full of idiosyncrasies that we tend to look into ourselves with high regard thereby neglecting people around us. Racism kait saang kingdom meron din mapa animal or plant, mas grabe nga dun...

my subtle question - Can we not co-exist? Is it hard for everyone to co-minggle?

My skin is brown, my heart is red, my mind is green. We are all part of the rainbow, only thing is not all colors are up there....

"what's your flavor, tell me what's your flavor...ping pong playa...."

tyobibs by Love guru "ZJ"

I never thought something would come our way

Our luck was push too far

The last coin we've ever thrown,
We couldn't believe we've still won.

We knew ends would meet

But here you are in our midst

So solemly swear to be at our side,

Comforted by the smile snickering inside.

Part-time by JoeBenski

Since they are saying that economy has come into a standstill, i'd say we have to resort into something. and that something is part-time job, pero mairap humanap ng part-time kase as we all know, it's part-time. Walang regular na trabaho sa part-time,ika nga tiyempuhan lang kung meron kang mahanap na work sa isang linggo na tuloy tuloy.kaya to make ends meet, i'm suggesting work na pwide gawin habang hinihintay natin ang release ng bagong issue ng komiks sa paborito nating arkilahan...

• konduktor ng eroplano
• taga tawid ng pagong sa intersection
• taga-bilang ng anak ng reynang langgam
• taga pakulo ng tubig sa gawaan ng yelo para sa kape
• taga nguya ng bayabas sa summer (para sa pantule)
• naghahanap ng naliligaw na tao sa labyrinth
• security guard sa mars (8-hours ang duty pero uwian sa earth)

yan eh pang summer na part-time job. next time un pang winter season...

Eggs...

JoeBenski say: Dollar-peso exchange rate is maddening..c'mon?! beginning of the week the peso pegged against the dollar at 45.66, then the next day it slide to 45.25...well that's whopping 0.41 cents loss on your pocket...ganito yan eh, pag meron kang sampung libong dolyar at makaligtaan mo itong papalitan kahapon eh talo ka na kaagad ng 4,100 pesos...ngayon iisipin mo anu pwide ibili ng naluging peso mo, eto mga halimbawa:
isang litro ng fundador - 1,200 pesos
isang kilong manok na adobo - 125
rekado sa adobo - 100
isang kilong bigas - 60
isang 500gms na lapid chicharon - 350
pamasahe sa mercury pra bumili ng alak at chicharon - 250
text at call sa globe pra mag imbita ng kainuman - 300
night cap sa beer garden - 1500 di kasama table charge
gasolina pauwi - 215
Total: 4,100
see... 'teng nasayang na naman ang happy hour mo....

does it matter

"The problem of being alone is you instantly remember the person that matters to you...
i'm alone right now, and does it matter to you that i remember you?"

This resonates to me for a very simple reason: "does it matter"....what is fascinating about this phrase is what would the other side think - i say the person on the receiving end of this phrase.

Definitely yours would want to see the person on the other side of the fence but for the other side to feel back the same way to you its a big mystery...
Is it important that you feel this way but doesn't care what the other side say?

Let me put it this way, do we possibly care what people think about us that we make it a point to say what ever we want as long as we want it to be...

Case in point: you cannot justify aloneness into being lonely...it's out of the question.

The person is not being alone, the person i guess just remembers you...

PINK DAY

pink day every where

i saw women waiting for their bus wearing pink

the guy waiting for his friend wears pink

the lady walking across the street has pink

my bus mates has pink all over the body

the driver on the corolla has pink

all are in pink....

by the way i'm wearing polo shirt in pink but what is on my head will still be green

JoeBensyo latest book find...

Pero the book was published 4-5 years ago....tagal na pala

"11 minutes was the title of the book from paulo coelho that i just finished yesterday. i read it for 3 days.... i like the book, sensual love story but full of mysticism...kase nga coelho, hehehe. I recommend it for you to read, maganda, he used light hearted words and a little bit of history about sex...."

To add more into it: the book parlayed a lot how almost if not all of us wants a happy ending, were scum for happy ending...kait addict matutuwa sa librong ito, you will fly to heaven pag nabasa mu ito
Love song....cge kanta...

High prices of commodity, inflation at recession

According to JoeBenski our resident nagpapanggap na "economist" it is inevitable that we will experience the three above...

Higher prices of commodity: look elsewhere lahat tayu apektado except si pera, if we have so many currencies in the market what a way to curb it is to increase prices of basic goods namely beer, chicharon, corknek, sig-sig, et al...

11% in June 2008 (philippines) Inflation: eto medyo madali lang intindiin....if you have 1 pesos last year na pwide mo ibili ng boy bawang, ngayon 1.11 na ang presyo ng boy bawang mo. Imagine sa sampung boy bawang mo na pwideng pulutan ng sampung taong nag iinuman eh siyam na piraso na lang ang mabibili mo sa sampung piso. At dail wala nang boy bawang para sa ika sampu niyong kasama, aalis na lang sya at hindi na iinum dail mag tatampo sa inyo. Yan ang epekto ng inflation, kabawasan sa kainuman...

Recession ang pinaka mahirap sa lahat...kase once na nagkaroon nito...hindi lang ang presyo ng alak at pulutan at ang mga kainuman niyo ang problema,pati kayu mismo malamang di na mag inum...bakit kamo kase sa recession bawal ka uminum dail wla ka na pambili ng alak at pulutan dail wala ka nang trabaho....ang opisina mo sasabiin sau teng' painga ka muna ha kase nag titipid tayu....un patay ka na, lagas na sweldo mo,lagas pa rason mo mag happy hour....

Teka lang tagay ko na.....

Books na pwide basain by JoeBensyo

I sent this letter to a friend awhile back recommending books to read

I am re-printing it for the sake of encouraging you guys to read it as well

"Last 24th of December 2007, I visited this bookstore in satwa called book world. they have lots of 2nd hand books to sell, good thing about this store is after buying and reading the book you can return it and they'll pay you half the price...hehehe..geez that really is value for our money...i browsed the bookstore, they have wide range of books from management to comics, so all are there at discounted prices...cool di ba.
i saw this ayn rand book about atlas shrugged, i haven't bought it because its a thick book, i guess you squeeze it and can divide into three more books...thats how thick it is by my standard...and mind you its just paper bound,not the hard bound type...
so this is your fav book, i've looked that up on wikipedia and undestood na all her books are quite "philosophical" learnings...malalaim pala nilalaman niya...but i like the concept on atlas shrugged, even if it is written half a century ago i can still relate the story to everyday lives especially on man's existence

Here naman is my all time top 5 fav (in the meantime na wala pa ako bago...)

1. God father - mario puzzo
2. Message in the bottle - nicholas spark
3. Bob ong books - name it, like it all...
4. Alchemist - paulo coelho
5. Like a flowing river - paulo coelho

Happy readings!!! "

That's how I ended my mail....
