So Soon But Goodbye and Hello in Time

It was past 11 pm last night of October 11, 2009 when I was really lazy to do some important things. So, I then opt to view some of my stocked photos in my laptop looking for snap shots to replace my banner. As I passed by the folder where I kept my SPED days, without any single thought, I suddenly searched for the screen shot that I made when I was still chatting with a friend months ago. The photo was taken when he was at the hospital during his therapy sessions when he let me viewed his webcam. That was the last time when I saw him online. Because I last saw him personally during the first quarters of the year if I'm not mistaken.


It was around 1:00 am when Vonn sent me a message over ym informing me that one of our friends just passed away around 11:00 pm. Poof, GOOSEBUMPS to the max! Because he was pertaining to the person who I looked for in my folders. It was obviously dark, the room was quite cold because of the AC and the laptop was the only thing that was giving me light. Upon receiving the grave news from Vonn, I know it was not just plain goose bumps. Because I am a person who can stand cold temperature without getting goose bumps. The only part of my body that gets cold is my feet. Was that coincidence? Why would I bother looking for his photos when I felt so lazy last night? I know there’s a reason why I gave effort in looking for his photo. I am a person who doesn’t feel all those “paramdam” from people who die even when my grandmother passed away. There's always a first time, the first time that I felt a bit scared. It was indeed an unusual experience for me.


So this morning, October 12, yes it’s confirmed from his brother. He really did passed away 11 pm. He will be home back here in Naga tomorrow morning. I then hurriedly informed some of my friends who also knew Aboi. I got to know Aboi personally when I took my Sped units in Ateneo. Surprisingly, he was already a friend of mine under his nickname like Mosquiton and because he was one of the Dy4-Clan when I was still in HS and early college years. IRC days really gave me a lot of friends who are still with me up to the present and Aboi was one of them. He wasn’t just a chatmate, he wasn’t just a classmate in sped, he was like my protector,. He protects me from my weaknesses by giving me encouragements to face them. I will surely treasure those meek words that you gave me.


I will miss our chitchats especially when he teases me a lot because he knew one secret of mine that only a few knows. I know you will still keep it as a secret aboi. We shared photos in flickr and talk about what was recently happening in my life. Now, he is with the Lord. No more sufferings, no more cancer, no more pain. It’s time for you to live your life with Him. Cancer chooses no one, cancer chooses no age, Aboi will always be an icon of great courage fighting against Cancer. I will surely miss you my dear friend. You left So Soon, but we had to say Goodbye because we know you’re ready. In time we’ll say Hello once again. >:D<

So Much For All Those

So much for all those happy thoughts along the reef of sadness
So much for all those chitchats along the isle of boredom

There was a sudden change of wind. I'm certain that it wasn't a storm or a tornado. But things change, expectations change and people do, even though you least expect them to. Reality check, not all people that we perceive to be nice will always be nice. Just remember, give yourself a chance for you to see the genuine heart of a person. Even if you're not asked to appreciate them at least you did your part. Good luck and have patience.

Another Crap

Geeee look at my horoscope for today. tsk tsk. Another crap indeed.

Now is the time for you Pisces to directly confront something that has been bothering you in your romantic affairs. It could be that something has been hidden or ignored in your love life for some time, and today you are going to nip these unresolved issues in the bud. You may receive some clarity on a painful or problematic relationship aspect, or some new information that makes you see someone entirely differently. Either way, your romantic goals are possible today, so long as you are willing to give someone the benefit of the doubt.

Revision of Plains Stripes Prints

Time, time, time, I think it's about 2 years or more that I started working on my wordpress blog, which was my first ever blog on-line. I checked out my wordpress account (but i'm not going to post it here haha) and it's a blessing that I used my default username and password for all seasons. I even forgot how the layout of my wordpress account looks like, but I think there was a slight change. It's delighting to see your own outputs brought about by mixed emotions for about 3 to 4 years ago. I even saw how crappy I am with my words and grammar that's why I felt so lucky to have retrieved them. I was able to have a good laugh with my errors. I decided to revise my Plains Stripes Prints description... here it goes...

I’m plain.. i’m stripes. and i’m printed

im plain with clear outlook to who i am. im not much of a talker because i am much of a listener, i like to scribble anything that comes out of my mind. sometimes i say it, sometimes i don’t, because there are things that should be left unsaid for others to realize that the absence of word will be enough for an asnwer. no matter how complex life is, i’d still like to live life plain and simple, because too much pre-occupation on the complex can make a person dull and stupid.

i live in stripes..vertical or horizontal.. there are a lot of ways to survive this life called reality. we may have the same coping mechanisms, but we differ on how we feel and react towards all those stressors in life. i live by my words by hit or miss, i stand for what i say.. sometimes life can be misleading because of mouths around us that can make or break us. be affected with what others say or be the effect of what you say to others. it’s a matter of how you strip in the stripes that crosses over your pathway.

i need some prints in my consciousness. i need your reactions to teach me how to live life well and to use my words in the utmost good way. we all need someone beyond ourselves who can pop our heads out to be awakened by reality. we all leave prints in the heart of all those we meet, as you leave prints in my heart, i’ll try to leave something in your heart as well. don’t forget that prints can be also be scars, so let us stay away from that.

Anything visible is powerful, what is Plainly seen, Stripes that crosses over, and Prints that leave marks. But the unseen in a person is something that we should learn, explore and understand. PSP and the unknown is what is within ME that makes me human enough to co-exist with you.

I am the me who can’t be you, but I can share my life with you.

Thank You

Thanks for your comment. It's deeply appreciated po. As i have said, i'm not trying to prove anything with this blog specifically itong Plains Stripes Prints ko po. It' always on the process that I'm learning and i'm able to notice my errors because of your comments. I'm not opting to be someone din and kung mapapansin nyo po (if na browse nyo po ung nsa hulihan), ung early posts ko here ay from my old blog pa sa wordpress, mga tinago k lng yan and i didn't edit them para may authenticity ng errors. haha. pero seriously di ko tlga inedit pa ang mga un kahit may mga mali. di ko narin naasikaso to, 3 entries na lng pala sa month of June? ouch.. kc i created another blog na mas kumain ng oras ko which is Naga City Deck

Please visit nlng http://nagacitydeck.blogspot.com/ kc yan na ang na uupdate ko lagi. See you there!!

Michael Jackson Dies at 50

This is an unexpected news for all, especially for Michael's Fans. We all know that he was labeled/accused (or whatever word you want to use) as a "child molester" but considering his contribution to the music industry, Michael Jackson will always be Michael Jackson, a music icon that no one can ever replace him in his type of music.

Here are some news links that you can check.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the Real Deal

Omg, i still can't get over it. Di naman halata noh kc tlgang nag blog pa ako? hehe. Sulit ang 110 pesos!!!! It's a long story how we ended up watching on the premier day. All I can remember before I posted the Official Trailer in my Plains Stripes Prints blog, I said that Ima watch it "no questions asked". So there, I really did watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on the "big screen". I don't care if Naga doesn't have the ones like iMax, coz I'm thankful that we are not left behind as to what movies are being showed worldwide. I was convincing my sister to close the shop as early as possible so that we can watch tonight, and so? the convincing power was good and I got to feed the "urgency" to watch it as soon as possible. I know it's illegal to bring any recording device inside a cinema house, but sorry i took a few snaps for my blog hihi photos lng naman and i did not take any vids because i don't like to spoil the moment. So if you're gonna watch it sa SM Cinema prepare Php 110.00 for the ticket and it's up to you if you're gonna munch some popcorn or chips. If you want a lower price you can watch sa Bichara, all you need is Php 75.00. If you like to watch it alone, it's alright, but you'll enjoy it even more if you have you're friends with you or you're family too.

How will I describe the movie? It's double the laughter compared to the first movie, heart pounding and megazillion of action. Cool cars as always, Obama was mentioned at hnd rin magpapatalo ang swine flu. san ka pa! hahahaha Wheww. i don't want to be a spoiler. In my opinion, mapapamura ka sa ganda ng movie!! haha.. i'm guilty of that. lol. I dunno if how much did the movie cost, but with its quality, I think it's a lot lot more of million dollars? I bet it will be on the Number One Spot for quite some time. YOU, yes YOU, you better watch it or else you'll definitely miss one of the greatest creations in the movie industry.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

I'm definitely gonna watch this on the big screen no questions asked!

Stressful and Dreadful Day

It's Tuesday, I was supposed to buy a few things and do some errands today besides going to work. But, another "negative episode" conquered our work place. "Some" inconsiderate and selfish people caused this nothingness to our atmosphere. Yes I would consider it nothingness because they are such wimps and seemingly good as uneducated people despite their educational attainmentSS, with 2 S's because they are in their peak of their career (yet old). Oh sorry, I can even give my full respect to uneducated people who literally who cannot afford to go to school because they live with dignity and respect for others. But then again, these wimps suck blood like mosquitoes leaving bumps in the skin of innocent victims.They are the rust in their own metallic structure that destroys their own prestige.

They may be in their highest momentum and valor today or tomorrow but surely they will have a pay for what they have caused us, which is not even tantamount to the pain and sacrifices that we did. We like our work and our work loves us back but the quality of our work gets to be sacrificed because of their greed and egoistic attitudes. Poor you, poor them, remember what the Bible said? "What does it gain a man if he gains the whole world, yet loses his own soul?" I'll leave that for them.

My day was so stressful and the ending was soooooooooooooo dreadful!
I got nearly bitten by a snake. It was a few meters away from me, it stopped but the rest of the body was hissing, it's neck raised up a little and was ready to bite me. But thank God, I managed to ran as fast as I could. I can't afford to stay put and stay calm but I can afford to stretch my legs to the farthest way I could just to escape from that huge crawling snake. I know it was an adult snake, it was long and the body was quite healthy. Nawara tlga si kalag ko as in!!!

I'm still alive! Thank you Lord for letting me survive this stressful and dreadful day.

(*My knees still has the snake jitters*)

For the Elementary Let Passers Click Here



Thank you so much Lord!!!!!!!! and thank you to my family and friends who prayed for me. Thank you for believing in me.

My mom woke me up, telling me that na release na daw ung result ng LET, ngarag pa ako kc kagigising ko lng.. sbi ko "ang aga naman eh sbi samin nung nag take kami ng exam end of May daw ang release. So i hurriedly opened my laptop then checked sa PRC website. Gosh my heart was beating so fast, nahirapan pa ako maghanap kc sept 2008 ung una kong nakuha tapos wala ako dun, so the more na grabe na ung hearbeat ko. tsk tsk. Then I check sa Inquirer.net, it says there April 2009 LET exam released, I screamed within me sbi ko. waaaa this is it.. pano kung wala ako?!?!?! then I checked sa Letter D.. De La, may space ang de la ko hnd dela.. number 1784 DE LA TRINIDAD, JOAN VILLANUEVA naka pasa nga ako!!! tingnan ko nga ulit baka mali pag ka tingin ko? Sbi ni mama tingnan mo nga kung Villanueva. hahaha

I checked and checked for how many times? more than 5 times eh. just to make sure na naka pasar tlga ako. grabee whewwww after all the sleepless nights and super duper worries if i will pass the exam, it has finally paid off, i even kept it a secret that i took the LET exam. Why? Because the pressure was too much, sa office, sa class namin, sa buong university! So i said what if i will not pass, i can't take the humiliation and shame. Pero after the exam, nalaman at nalaman din ng iba pero konti lng naman that i really took the exam. Believe in prayers, Believe in HIM and believe in yourself and you will also get your answers.

Congrats din to Ms. Jazmine Ontang, Sir Charles Bolival and Sir Dariel Palmiano.. for my classmates who passed din.. congrats po!!! sila lng kc ung kilala ko at nahanap ko sa list of passers. hehe

Again, thank you very much! Unending thanks and gratitude to the Lord and to my friends and family. I love you all!

Separate Blogspot Accounts

Since I've noticed that I was able to make entries about a common theme/topic, I've decided to have a separate blog for each. As of now I have made one for Cars http://autocarpark.blogspot.com and for Naga City http://nagacitydeck.blogspot.com
Still to come will be about Photography (I hope I can pull it off because i'm not that well versed yet with that area), another one for all the Poems that I have written then last would be for Music and or Mtv with the aid of other websites of course.

Eventually, Plains Stripes Prints will be my mother blog with all my daily challenges, endeavours, miseries, and hopes waiting for a silver lining amidst them all. This will now even sound more personal than the other accounts. I'm still trying to look for other niches to blog, can anyone suggest or recommend? I've tried Wordpress already.. what else do we have?

The UNC Placement Service still remains its spot, I'm just waiting for some tutoring lessons of having our own account in our school's website so that our office will have an easy access to the site.

Single by Choice or Single by Force?

March 1^st of this year, I had the privilege to spend a few hours of quality time with my college friends whom I haven’t seen for almost 2 ½ years. Coincidence or not, fate or by choice, destiny or man’s initiative, all of my 6 friends were presently SINGLE. Single as an adjective and defined according to the civil status, it means “without spouse or partner: unmarried or unattached, or characteristic of this state”.

Let’s take it in the context of our age and present status who graduated college 3 years ago.

Alex, Zamir, Serlyn, Ina, Alice and Michelle, they are my college friends who I met up with in Baguio and yes they are all single. Michelle is just a little bit fresh from breaking up after their 4 or 5 years (correct me if I’m wrong Mich) of relationship. Plus Serlyn who got singled out din a few months before Mich.

Now let us define once again “single”. Being single is emotionally unattached and with no commitment to someone (boy/girlfriend). Isama na natin ung may mga ka MU or ka fling fling kasi still they are not yet officially “them”. For formality sake lng naman usually ang bf ang gf na status eh, and kadalasan it’s a means for someone to say that he/she belongs to this person and is not allowed to date someone else per se.

When I and my college friends were updating ourselves as to what had happened to us after graduation, there was a made-up club organized by them. Due to their singleblessedness and unlucky love life, they have thought about something that they are either Single by Choice or Single by Force. Take your pick!

What is Single by Force?

1. Single because there is no choice (as defined by a friend). There is no one to choose from and there is no one yet who sees you as his/her someone. This is “pressure” for those who are late 20’s, 30’s and “desperate” for those who are 40’s hehe.

What is Single by Choice?

1. Single because he/she chose to be single. Under the circumstance of:

a. The relationship had to end because there is/are EV’s (Extraneous Variable or unwanted issues in life and were not settled equally by both parties)

b. Even though there are potential partners around, he/she chooses not to get into a relationship maybe because of other priorities or he/she doesn’t like the person at all and vice versa. Not compatible with each other? Maybe.

Months ago, I remembered a status in my ym which was suggested by my sissy. Related kc sya dto sa single ek ek na to.

“Technically single but emotionally taken” where does this belong to? Single by Force or Choice? Or both? I personally think that it can be both for a few reasons:

1. You liked and eventually loved someone BUT it’s only you or ang tawag dito ay “one sided love” na hnd alam ng gusto mo na gusto mo sya and you don’t have any intention of telling her/him. Technically single but your emotions are only directed to one person that you only choose him/her but you are forced to be alone because he/she doesn’t like you. Sbi nga sa isang book “He’s not just into you”.

But despite all those unlucky love life that we are experiencing, we are happy that our careers are more or less on good track. All seven of us have work and are doing well with our post grad education. Sbi nga, kung malas sa luv life okay ang career. This is more or less 85% true to all of us. We may not have the best compensation in our field of work but we are dedicated and persevering.

For those who are currently in a relationship, open your thoughts to a lot of possibilities, it’s not everyday that you will be always happy and merry because surely there are a lot of trials tests if you are really meant for each other. You are of two different worlds trying to fuse in and co-existing in all the similarities and differences that you both have. Surely you can achieve it only if you work together and listen to each other. Plus praying is always a good armour in our everyday life.

Upon knowing that a lot of my friends are still single, it’s a sign that we should not be pressured at all, we have all the time in the world. We are human enough that we sometimes miss having someone beside you and go through different challenges everyday, but it’ll come. God has His list of the people that He wants us to meet, encounter, like, and eventually share a life with. For all the Singles out there, enjoy work, school, friends and most importantly make each and every single day a blessed and happy day, make the most of it!

You

You by Schiller and Colbie Caillat

Schiller with Colbie Caillat - You Lrics

Turn down the silence
Inside my head
Bring back the colours
Were you insane?
Further from where I’ve started
Further to go
Keeping my heart under control

Why do I still feel you? Feel you…
And all you’ve got
I still feel you, feel you
All I need is you
All I need is to feel you, feel you

Why did you change your mind and run away?
Thoughts of you by my side
Are starting to fade
I know that you should be mine
So I won’t let go
Everyday I’m trying to get close

Why do I still feel you? Feel you…
And all you got
I still feel you, feel you…
All I need is you
All I need is to feel you, feel you

Stop running all the time
Don’t fight the feeling inside
Cause when you try it hard
Don’t matter where you go it’s deep in your soul

The Show by Lenka

A cute song!!

my favorite lines

I'm a fool
out of love
'coz I just can't get enough

I'm just a little bit
caught in the middle
Life is a maze
and love is a riddle

Dr. Lucio Tan – Commencement Speaker

University of Nueva Caceres
Baccalaureate Mass on March 13, 2009 at 5:00 PM
Commencement Exercises to follow on March 14, 2009 at 5:00 PM

Dr. Lucio Tan will be the Commencement Speaker for the 61st Collegiate Commencement Exercises of the University of Nueva Caceres. He is no other than the Chairman of Lucio Tan Group of Companies, together with him are around a hundred businessmen to celebrate the recognition day of our university perhaps they have other business meetings or so after the university affair. Dr. Dolly H. Sison (President of UNC) will be awarding the Doctor of Technology Honoris Causa upon Dr. Lucio Tan.

Rev. Fr. Rex Luis L. Hidalgo will be the Celebrant and Homilist during the Baccalaureate Mass.

Hmmm I thought I will be watching the activities and be one of the fortunate audiences to listen to the mentioned people, but sad to say, for the recognition day, I will be part of the ____ team. Waaaaaaaaaaaaa secret nlng kung ano un. Kung cno makakita mayong ralatikan ever.

Another Baptism of Fire

At around 9 am today, I was in front of the high school graduating students of UNC. Guess what, I was invited to give a talk about Job Market for the Career Orientation of the Senior High School Students. Because I’m handling the Placement Service of the Guidance Center, the topic was close enough to what I have learned in the placemen world. It’s my baptism, meaning? First time to do a talk to a huge crowd as a speaker. *whew*

During the first few minutes I was having my stage jitters. But after constantly reminding myself to feel relax, I was able to go through my presentation well. What do you expect, high school students are high school. UNC high school is different from where I took my secondary education. Apart from the comparison, I did my best in order to get the attention of the students. I didn’t use too much words on my presentation, I just flashed some statistics and the rest was allotted to my talking. I’m thankful that the graduating students were still attentive kahit papano. Hehe I used video clips instead of words to have a different twist on presenting as a speaker. I hope I was alble to process my whole talk.. did I or did I not? Hehe

It was my first time again.. how may “first time” will I be crossing.. so far I had already a lot of placement and career development activities conducted during my first year of stay in UNC from Feb. 1, 2008 up to this day March 12, 2009. I can feel that I started my month right and full of blessings.

Hmm btw, I haven’t blog yet about my Baguio Trip where I celebrated my advanced birthday celebration and homecoming at the same time... hahanapan ko nlng ng time hehe

Till then!
