EXTENDED!!!

As usual na balita, wala pa rin ang mga dependent passes ni wife and baby S for them to stay with me here. But i have extended their tourist visa for
another month, kaya tuloy ang ligaya.
Malaki na ng improvement ni baby S sa swimming. Last weekend, inalis ko yung maliit na floater nya for both arm, and he can swim! Madali nga lang mapagod pero tuwang-tuwa ang mama nya kahit daig pa sya, heheheh. But for this weekend, pass muna kami sa swimming. Medyo maitim na kami (si babay S medyo, ako super nangitim) at di na cute tignan. Scrotumized na ang kutis ko at konting wrinkles na lang, kutis-scrotum na ko. Sa bath tub na lang muna kami si-swimming, hehehe. Naalala ko tuloy ng first time naming magsabay maligo at nakita nya ang 'tatay ng putotoy' nya, natawa ko sa sinabi nya- "hahaha, papa! may basbas sa beyd! (read: may balbas sa bird). Mamatay ako sa kakatawa nun pero naisip ko din, baka masama na nakakakita ng matured private part ang bata kahit wala pang kamuwang-muwang, kaya mula noon, naka-undie na ko pag sabay kaming maligo with matching 'goggles'. Pinipilit nya kasi akong ipasuot yung goggles ko pag suot nya rin ang kanya, kaya pagbigyan na lang, anlakas kasing umatungal lalo na't nasa banyo kami, ume-echo sa buong apartment ang mala-tarzan na atungal. Kaya mukha akong tanga na nag sho-shower minsan na may goggles, ok na rin, di nalalagyan ng sabon ang mata ko.
Cool talaga ang world wide web, dami kong na namang bagong kilala at mga kaibigan. Ok sa olrayt ang blog at marami akong natututunan. Si wife din, may blog na but still
under construction, it will be more about her and baby S and their everyday activities plus photos. Kaya abangan nyo na lang ang kulitan nilang mag-ina sa araw-araw dito sa Singapore.
Hayyy!, kakatamad na naman mag-work kaya pa-blog-blog na lang muna. Turuan ko kayang
mag-blog ang boss ko?

10 Commandments for a Responsible Drinker

I got permission from METAL EARS to publish this entry to my blog, salamat sir!

Sampung Utos para sa mga Tomador

1. Huwag makulit habang umiinom.
2. Huwag matakaw sa pulutan. Ito'y pangsapin lang at di panghapunan.
3. Huwag patagalin ang baso sapagkat me naghihintay rin sa susunod na tagay...ika nga, "di baling magtagal sa suso, huwag lang sa baso".
4. Huwag matutulog habang nag-iinom.
5. Di basta umiinom o nakikiinom lang, bumili rin. Sa madaling salita, mag-ambag ka.
6. Ilagay ang alak sa tiyan, huwag sa ulo.
7. Huwag pakalasing, magtira ng pang-uwi.
8. Huwag basta aalis habang nag-iinom, magpaalam naman.
9. Siguraduhing sa bahay ang diretso pag-uwi.
10. Huwag mananakit ng asawa, lambingin lamang ito at kung maari ay suhulan ng maski ano (halimbawa, pansit) para payagan ulit sa susunod na paalam sa pag-iinom.

Iba-iba kasi ang tama at trip ng isang lasing, meron maingay na kala mo taga-bundok, meron tahimik, meron makulit na masarap sapukin at meron namang iba na anlaki ng bodega at malakas mamulutan. Enjoy na lang natin ang inuman, tagay mo na OGAG!

Black Popcorn!...anyone?

Been busy this last few weeks, arghhh, sakit sa ulo. I don't know if my headache is because of work pressure, or eyesight problem, or because of my sinusitis.
I tried to have enough sleep, actually more than enough, but still, i feel so restless. And my eyes, my lovely abused eyes, hehehe, are complaining because of too much exposure on computer. And my ever beautiful bloody nose, are always stuffed because of my bloody sinusitis. I already scheduled my self to have an operation next year to do whatever the specialist can do to make my nose more useful.
I hope to finish my sideline soon, maybe a week or 2 and I'm out of that project.
I miss waking up in the morning weekend with relax mind and not worrying about anything. Yerterday (Monday), I was absent. I thought I could finish and submit the first phase, but I ended up playing with my kid, watching tv and done nothing but to eat popcorn that I experimented to cook on microwave, hahahah. Last time, I cooked it in a frying pan and it burnt to hell. This time, I tried to cooked it in microwave and voila! it popped! The first try was good, I put some butter and some bits of corn on a microwavable bowl, and after a few minutes, it popped. It was fun that I experimented the 2nd time with some sugar and it became a black popcorn, bwahahaha. Try it, it tasted like coal, bwahahaha (I only tasted one).
Anyway, until now, I haven't receive the results of the dependent passes of my wife and baby S and I wonder why it took so long to process that. There was someone who called me last week from the Ministry of Manpower, asking me to fax a copy of our marriage certificate, the heck, I already submitted it together with the application form and now they must have misplaced it, but to make the talking short, I re-faxed it. It's ok though, to know that they are on the process in reviewing the application but it's almost a month now. Hayyy, until now, we don't know if they can stay here with me or will go back to Pinas. My wife has been here since last Nov. and worked but baby S went back to Pinas last Feb. and returned here last July. He's been travelling alone, hehehehe joke!
Sometimes, it is just too tiresome and put me on the thinking that maybe it is much better if I just setup a small business in Pinas and live a simple life. But everytime I read or hear a news from Pinas, sigh!, nevermind the pressures here, I am loaded with enough armour to face them. I better stay and do the work they're paying me to do, than being on the frontline in our homeland's war. Hik!

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow


At first, I thought we had chosen a wrong movie. The cinematography was done in a classic-style colored movie and was like watching a cartoon-to-movie film. But it turns out to be a full-action-adventure-fiction film with the likes of superheros thing. I did not see any dull moment because almost everything was set in a fast-pace story-telling. I'm not much of a movie critic but my personal rating for this movie is 4 out of 5 stars.



"It's like a film that escaped from the imagination directly onto the screen, without having to pass through reality along the way."
RATING : A / Chicago Sun-Times-Roger Ebert

Babae sa Bintana

Last night, I was reading Watson's archives and one entry scared the hell out of me. Actually, I can not be easily affected by some paranormal stories or pictures, not because I do not believe in them, but for me 'to see is to believe'. At first, it was just a normal reading, I read his entry and click on the photo to see what he was referring to, without expecting anything. And I was right, I did not see anything. And then...
Wife: Ano binabasa mo? (coming from my back)
Me: Baguio vacation house, may multo daw.
Wife: San? (tingin sa monitor)
Me: Tignan mo, wala akong makita eh.
Wife: Wala naman ah, MAY NAKADUNGAW LANG SA BINTANA!
Me: (kinilabutan)Ha! nakita mo, bat di ko makita?
Wife: Alin? yung nakadungaw?
Me: Oo, yan daw yung multo! Eh bat di ko makita? (tumayo ang buhok sa tyan at batok)
Wife: (takbo sa kama) Wahh! wag mo ko tinatakot ng ganyan! (kinilabutan na rin) Meron naman talagang nakadungaw sa bintana eh.
Me: Di ko nga makita, ikaw nakita mo agad. Ibig sabihin, madali kang makakita ng multo, Awoooooo! (Nagbiro na lang ako para di halatang natakot, hehehe. Pero kinilabutan talaga ako dun ha.)

Remember the movie "Mga kwento ni Lola Basyang"?, the 'haunted house' episode was shot on a real haunted house in our town. When we were still kids, it gives us a nervous shivery apprehension everytime we pass by that house. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Tenk u! tenk u! ambabarat ninyo, Tenk u!

Kulang ang pagkabata mo pag di mo naranasan mangaroling kasama ang mga kalaro mo. Pinitpit na tansan, tambol na gawa sa lata at plastic sheet, palakpak at padyak! Naalala ko pag nag-umpisa na ang simbang gabi, simula na rin kami ng pangangaroling na magkakalaro. Bago yun, naka-assign na kung sino ang gagamit ng iba't ibang instrumento at kung sino lang ang kakanta. Iba kami eh, di tulad ng ibang mga bata na wala sa tono at walang praktis bago mangaroling, may arrangements ang mga kanta namin, hehehe. Pero ako, laging karakas ang hawak ko. Gawa ito sa maliit na bao ng niyog na nilagyan ng bato sa loob.
Naranasan na namin masigawan ng lasing, madabugan ng pinto at mahabol ng aso. Kaka-asar minsan ang ibang bahay dahil di pa nagsisimula ang kanta, Patawad agad. Ang iba naman, may nakapaskil na sa gate na Merry X-mas, Patawad! Siguro, mga kampon ni Batman. Meron naman, galante at mababait. Iyon ang mga bahay na binabalik-balikan namin ng halos gabi-gabi hanggang mamukhaan na kami ng may-ari. 'Kayo na naman! eto 25c, wag na kayo babalik!' Bukod sa karakas, ako rin ang taga-sigaw sa bandang huli pag barat o patawad ang may-ari ng bahay. 'Tenk U! Tenk U, Ambabarat ninyo! Tenk U!, sabay takbo ng mabilis, hehehehe. Yun ang favorite ko, pagsigaw sabay takbo.
Ang pinaka-masarap sa lahat, ang hatian ng napamaskuhan. Equally divided naman lagi pero maraming reklamo lalo na pag maliit lang ang total.
'Eh di naman sya kumakanta!'
'Eh sintunado naman yang tambol mo kaya masakit sa tenga!'
'Eh ambaho mo kasi, di ka naligo kaya nakasimangot yung may-ari!'
Maya-maya, may suntukan na dyan, hehehe. Meron iiyak, meron tatawa, meron malungkot pero halos lahat ay masaya, dahil meron na naman kaming pambili ng candy sa tindahan.

Back to the future


This is a picture of my son, baby S and me at almost the same age as him. Do you see any resemblance?

Don't be a fool, man!

Sarap sigurong:

1. Magkaroon ng bahay na may pool with jacuzzi, malawak na garden at may greenhouse na may iba't ibang klaseng orchids at mga halamang may makukulay na bulaklak.
2. May modded-car, lowered, aero-dynamic parts, hi-fi stereo with matching speakers sa compartment, customed racing wheels at fully-black leather upholstered ang upuan.
3. May 2 alagang aso, isang doberman at isang st. bernard.
4. May small business na sufficient enough to provide the everyday necessities.
5. May 10 million pesos fixed-deposit sa bank which will accumulate ng more or less 50 thou pesos a month interest.
6. May licenced 45mm. hand gun for target shooting at personal protection na rin.
7. May game room sa bahay with wine and liquor bar and pool table.
8. Maging vegetarian.
9. May personal assistant at butler.
10.May helicopter at maging licenced pilot nito.

Potrages na yan, ang sarap mangarap! Malamang, uugod-ugod na ko, wala pa sa kalahati ang natupad ko, unless.... maging pulitiko ako, hmmmm!

The James Bond Martini



The James Bond martini appears in his very first book (by Ian Fleming), Casino Royale. In chapter 7, we read:

"A dry martini," he said. "One. In a deep champagne goblet."

"Oui, monsieur."

"Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon-peel. Got it?"

Lillet is a type of Vermouth that you can still find in many stores. Gordon's is a gin. Where most martinis are made with gin, and vodka martinis are just made with vodka, Bond wildly mixes them both up.

A TRICK:

By shaking it, you make the drink cold, which is key for most vodka drinks to taste well. It also mixes the vodka and gin well, giving it a good texture.

The next time you're mixing drinks, try making one shaken and one stirred. See if you can taste the difference!

Laying eggs

T : Bakit daw dumarami ang bakla sa mundo, di naman sila nanganganak?

S : They're laying eggs daw, mwehehehe! (read:nang-iitlog)

Meron kayang malignong bakla or multong bakla? Anong gagawin mo pag ni-rape ka ng multong bakla?

Disclaimer:
Di ako against sa bakla or homo, this is only a joke. Peace men! errr, women w egg?


Narinig ko na at nabasa ba yung mga sinasaniban ng masasamang espiritu, tikbalang, dwende or mga maligno? Personally, I don't believe it. Pero nung bata ako, bumubulong muna ko ng 'tabi-tabi po nunong punso' bago umihi sa puno or pader, buti nang safe, balita ko pag naka-ihi ka ng nuno, lalaki ang itlog mo, yun eh nung bata pa ko. Ngayon, naghahanap ako ng punso dito, wala kong makita, potrages na yan.

Disclaimer: Naghahanap ako ng punso dahil gusto kong makakita at makahuli ng reyna ng anay.

Rare, medium-rare or well-done?

I just love to relax on weekend. Although I was quite busy the whole saturday afternoon, attending a meeting with a client for some moonlighting and going to the Lucky Plaza Mall to remit some money for my mother, the rest was quite restful. My brother in law held his bday party in our house but I did not join the drinking session, besides his bwisitors are all chinese. I'll just get a headache listening to their stupid chinese jokes and I'm not in the mood to get drunk bec. I need to study my tabing guhit (sideline). So, I just get some beer cans, watched the tong-its session of the amasonas and slept before midnight.

The 3 of us went on swimming the following day together with kylie (my niece) and her yaya. Baby S is improving on his swimming skills. He's not afraid anymore on going to the adult pool, floating and maneuvering his direction only with the help of the small floaters in his arms. Now, I can leave him floating at the center of the pool while I'm doing my laps. I'm very proud to see him improving his skills, maybe sooner or later, I can play tennis and basketball with him already. My wife is also learning how to swim, although she just started, she already have mastered one swimming style, the talaba style, hehehe. I know she'll learn soon as long as she's not too complexion-paranoid (takot umitim). She end up complaining about her now 2-toned skin because the contrast of the covered part of her skin and the uncovered sun-tanned skin is too obvious, heheh. Anyway, we really enjoyed the swimming.

The whole sunday afternoon was just about eating, watching tv, sleeping, playing and eating some more. We planned to go out for sunday mass and malling but it rained hard in the late afternoon, so we turned-up to be all sleeping until night. Woke up for dinner and after that, worked on my sideline with my wife till midnight.
And ended my weekend with a glass of red wine. Hik!

Joke time!

ANG ALKANSIYA, BOW...

Isang araw, may iminungkahi si Jose sa asawa niyang si Luisa. "Para tayo'y makaipon ng pera, bibigyan kita ng piso para sa iyong alkansiya, tuwing magse-sex tayo."
"Sige," sagot ni Luisa.
Pakaraan ng ilang linggo, napagkasunduan nilang buksan ang alkansiya. Lumabas ang mga lilimahin, sasampuin at mga bente pesos na kasama ng mga pipisuhin.
"Luisa", tanong in Jose, "saan galing ang lahat ng perang yan? Tuwing magse-sex tayo ay piso lang ang ibinibigay ko,"
"Aba," sabi ni Luisa. "Akala mo ba, lahat ng lalake ay kasing-kuripot mo?"


Babae kinakalabit ang mister sa hating-gabi.
Misis: Love, wala na akong panty ngayon.
Mister: (nagising) Tulog ka na love, bukas ibibili kita


Kring, kring.........
AMO: Inday sagutin mo ang telepono baka kabit yan ng Sir mo!!!
INDAY: Si Ma'am talaga o.....pinapaselos ako!!!
