People make things complicated, or at least will give you ideas that will make you go nuts, when you mention one thing to them. What do I mean by that? Well as you all know (as if may nagbabasa ng blog ko) my life is based here in Singapore and one thing that keeps me from going to the Philippines is that I have no place to stay there.
I still have my parents and they still have their house, the downside is, they lived in Dasmariñas, Cavite where getting there would take at least 2-4 hours because of the awful traffic flow in Aguinaldo Highway. The upside is, we live near Tagaytay, yihee!
Anyway, I mentioned to some of my friends and family the idea of owning a condo unit somewhere in Manila just so I have a place to stay whenever I am in the area. Some of their reactions are:
Grace: Naku F___, hwag na Condo kasi kung lumindol at gumuho yung building, nasan na property mo?
Me: Sabagay most of the condos in Manila gawa sa kawayan.
Patrick: Sa Serendra? hwag na dun super baba ng ceiling nila, ambisyosa yung units dun.
Me: Ang tangkad mo naman kasi, sa height ko mataas na yun.
Me: Sa fort area na lang kaya?
Rhona: binabaha sa area na yun eh, although maganda rin yung naidudulot ng baha sa condo sa fort.
Me: (puzzled) bakit naman?
Rhona: ... lumalabas kasi yung mga gwapo hihihihi
Sir John: Yes, kumuha ka sa area ng U-Belt tapos parentahan mo sa mga estudyante dun para yung renta eh yun ang pambabayad mo monthly. Since bata ka pa dapat ang inuuna mong bilhin eh yung mga property, yung may value hindi puro damit at laruan.
Me: (feeling batang napagalitan)
Mama: bakit ayaw mo nang tumira dito anak? Ayaw mo na sa amin ng Papa mo?
Me: (irritated) dun ka tumira habang nasa SG ako!
Mama: (delighted) Yung malapit sa Mall ang kuhanin natin tsaka yung may Veranda.
Me: GAWD!
Ate: Akala ko ba mag-ma-migrate ka na sa ibang bansa tapos bibili ka ng property dito? Paano mo ididispose yan?!
And the list goes on...
Most of them are convincing me to buy a house and lot instead of a 1 or 2 room condo unit. To me, maintaing a house will be too much for me since, as I said, I live here in Singapore and I don't want to trouble my parents for doing that responsibility since they have their own problems to deal with.
Yes, it's fun in Manila but if I have no place there I wouldn't want to tire myself from going back and forth from Cavite to Manila everytime there is a happening. Patrick, my bestfriend, is offering his pad but being an Introvert, I want a place where I can be alone with my thoughts.
Lord, wala na nga akong LOVELIFE pati ba naman Place to stay? Help me naman!
Actually, I have a choice. I just need to be in control with it.

By the way, I'm still suffering from the flu and dry cough I got from my trip back home.

Ponch.Wedding.Charms
January 15, 2010. The date of Ponch and Charms wedding.
To sum up, all the gang went home to be a witness to one of our friends' most special event in their life. The wedding was celebrated in The Shrine of Jesus and the reception was held in Manila Peninsula. (SOSYAL!)
I can't think of any words to describe the wedding, all I can think of is it was beautiful, it says everything about the bride and the groom. It was elegant and beautiful just like Charms and fun and handsome just like Ponch. That's it.
Just how all the wedding should be, all about the bride, the groom, their life and their love.
Below are the pictures taken during the wedding.
At the church with the behdix girls (Jhona, Ice, Am and Lanie)
Los Companeros (Blue, Chilley, Benford and Me)
waiting for the ceremony to begin
At the Manila Pen (we are the tank!)
Behdix United!
At our table (late kami dumating)
partida lahat kami may migraine ng gabing yan pero purfek smile pa rin
Behdix Boys!
With Jhona my porn benefactor joke!
Must.Not.Sing.Any.Katie.Perry.Songs!
with Adrian and Mitch (The resemblance is uncanny)
Icy Banana (do I look cool?)
I told AM she's a goddess in that dress!
parang kailan lang...
Happy Days!
Congrats Ponch and Charms!
Sino kaya ang susunod? hhhmmm....

ME and the List
Boom!
Birthday ko at siempre dahil kaarawan ko pinigilan ko ang sarili ko na sumulyap sa Facebook dahil para mabigyan ko naman ang sarili ko ng break sa pagtingin sa picture ng kinahuhumahingan ko hahaha!
Anyways, Saktong alas dose ng gabi eh tiningnan ko ang sarili ko sa salamin kung may madadagdag ba sa akin bukod sa taon. Inabot ako ng 2 am ng kakahintay walang nagpapop sa katawan ko na something new, like panibagong kamay, ulo, buntot, pakpak o panibagong sungay.
At dahil sa frustration ko sa kakahintay, I wrote a list of something about myself.
- - -
20 Things about me.
1. I'm always POSITIVE.
2. I don't like eating burgers.
3. I like candies and chocolates.
4. I prefer Ice Cream over Cake.
5. I love spicy foods. The SPICIER the BETTER!
6. I hate Mang Tomas Sauce! Ewww!!!!
7. I travel a lot. I wish I have a travel buddy.
8. I hate comedy movies. I love watching horror films. I rewind.
9. I love comedy movies. I hate watching horror films. And I watch with the subtitle ON.
10. Extreme Rides in the theme park makes me happy.
11. I have a very low tolerance in alcohol. So I don't drink as much as possible.
12. I hate making people wait but I can wait patiently for anyone.
13. I read Philosophy themed novels. My favorite author is Ayn Rand.
14. Working out has been part of my weekly life and I enjoy outdoor activities.
15. I'm a good shopping buddy but I do my shopping alone.
16. Simple gift makes me blush. Give me Pilot G-Tec C4 and I will cherish it forever.
17. I prefer to have a conversation in a coffee shop than partying in the club. We'll do the partying later.
18. I'm a sucker for corny jokes or any kinds of it. I suck at delivering jokes ='(
19. I'm ticklish.
20. I'm impulsive and spontaneous.
- - - -
With the list I wrote, can anyone please find me someone?
I promise to be a good boyfriend.
I'll treat you good, I have PS3.

Kailan ba ulit ako last na nagpost ng entry dito?
Ang tagal no?
enjoy kasi ang buhay kaya nakakalimutan ang online world.
- - - -
I have to say goodbye, temporarily, to my camera.
my brother will use it for his photoshoots next year.
I am now thinking of buying an s95 camera and I know where to get the money.

ang dami na namin sa lunch.
