joke time...

alas! i succeeded on making a few people laugh with this original crazy antic. mind you, i was never a good joker. haha.

Q: Ano ang tawag sa apo ng chicken?

A: edi, "chicklet". From Chicken - Chick - Chicklet.

A few colleagues refute that it would be better if it's dubbed as "Chickling". hehe.

Anyway, i just thought it was funny. :P if only notes have recorded dialogues.

To Steve, Ejay, Gaze, Croxy, Stan and Cynch, thanks for laughing! :P aminin niyo, natawa kayo!

uh, dress code?

Pondering on my preparations for school, i struck up a conversation with a friend via sms about the dresscode policy the school has. funny though, it made me think hard about what to wear. haha. niloloko lang pala ako ni mr. jose. :P

here goes,

RON: Justin, strict ba ang school sa dress code?

JUSTIN: Oo, bakit?

RON: Tinanong ko lang, I'm getting ready for the red carpet in school. Lol.

JUSTIN: Sige, mag-ipon ka na ng;
- necktie
- long sleeved polo
- cardigan
- bomber jacket
- pullover sweater
- vest
- tie bar
- slim cut slacks at khaki
- oxford shoes
- trench coat
- parka
- brown shoes
- top handle dufflebag
- wool coat
- hermes reversible belt
- etc
Yun. Lahat kame meron niyan.

RON: Wow! Ikaw na ang fashionista. Hermes! Omg! Hindi ba sabi sa student manual....blah...blah..bla

h...

JUSTIN: Loko lang! :)
- polo na long sleeves
- necktie
- slacks
- polo barong
ok na!

Whew, for a moment it felt like I didn't enroll in law school but in some fashion academy. lol. Justin, mabilis kasi ako maniwala. lol. :P

As for me, better stick to the manual! :) But in all fairness, justin, completing the list would be nice! hehe, i'ma get that all... eventually...

P.S. amazingly, justin, you know that much in fashion! clap clap clap!

My Beloved MaSha

Recently, in relation to the just concluded FRENCH OPEN, i have heard someone say, "talo na naman si Sharapova. Puro ganda lang kasi.", and with that, divine intervention prompted me to defend my idol, my beloved MaSha.

As we all know aside from the gift of playing good tennis, Maria's also given the gift of beauty incomparable to any tennis player - she is six feet tall, bold and beautiful. She's one of the hottest players off court and on court. Her tennis career may have dwindled in the recent years due to injuries but that does not disprove her greatness otherwise. Yes, she may have earned more in endorsements but her prizes in her tennis triumphs are more valuable than that.




To prove my point, here are some feats Maria has accomplished so as to prove that she's not pure GANDA lang.

1. Maria Sharapova is the first Russian to win a Wimbledon singles title and the second-youngest women's champion in history.

2. She is the youngest titlist on the WTA Tour and was awarded the "Newcomer of the Year" prize by the WTA Tour.

3. She has reached the No. 1 Ranking in the world , the first Russian to be no. 1

4. She has won 3 of the four grandslams, the Australian Open 2006, Wimbledon 2004 and the US Open 2008. Only the elusive French Open's left.

FYI, venus williams has not yet grabbed a French and Australian Open trophy, Henin never won wimbledon, Clijsters claimed US Open twice and no more.

5. Won the WTA Championships (2004) on her debut appearance, where only the top players get to participate.

6. 22 singles titles, 3 doubles titles.

with that, i have nothing left to say but this,

MaSha, definitely not the next Kournikova! MaSha hindi lang puro ganda!

P.S. Makita at marinig pa kitang sabihin yan sa office humanda ka, lol. joke lang!

dare me not

we all have our "dare me nots", i just thought it would be worthwhile sharing mine. :P

so here goes.

never dare me to...

1. eat frogs, snakes, rats, insects and the like. never will i, even if it's the last edible thing on earth. water will do. lol.

2. jump off from anywhere high, go bunjee, i'm so acrophobic.

3. touch/hold roaches. COCKROPHOBIA! need i say more? btw, i just made that up, "Katsaridaphobia's the real thing but i find cockrophobia cuter. :)

4. tell the person i like/love how i feel... i'm so not good at that. :P

5. not take a bath for more than a day. urgh, sure stinker. no, no, no, not nice!

6. SING! for i will surely do it! nah! now that someone told me i'm "nakakairita', (i found the tagalog term more fitting), while singing, i'm now having second thoughts.

7. Get into a fist fight. i've never got knocked out before. please not the face! i couldn't even imagine how on earth i fully decided to take taekwondo in 2nd grade. ;)

8. eat all the white chocolate i could, for i will never stop. hehe

hmmm, that's all i could think of right now... haha, well i hope nothing else adds to this. and i fervently hope no one dares me to do one of these, :P

loyalty

loyalty...

it has always been a question of loyalty. it's always been the basis of everything, life, friendship, love, business, war, affiliation etc.

Why talk about this?

Late this afternoon was my scheduled interview in my new law school. yep, i'm transferring to a new one because of academic reasons. i have yet to blurt it out to the world for such is so not "blurtable". :P

Well, let's get going, in my interview earlier, series of questions were asked but among those questions, perhaps the most difficult to answer would be those related to loyalty, loyalty to the new institution that with open arms accept me as a part of them. Of course, to please them, i answered that my loyalty now rests with them, that loyalty for me was never an issue, that they could be assured that i would be more of a bastenian than a bedan. At that time, i didn't really know if i was saying the right thing. As you all know, I started out with san beda, learned a lot from them and suffered a lot as well. My mind was so convinced that all I am now, I owe it to Sbc.

After the interview, while i was pondering over how i answered those questions, i realized that it was but right that San Sebastian questioned me with regard to loyalty. I am now fully convinced with my answers, and i think they're right. Now that I'm moving to new grounds, my allegiance should move as well, the entirety of it. Allegiance to San Sebastian alone. It's just like applying for a new citizenship/naturalization, you relinquish your previous allegiance and accept a new one. As for San Beda, don't get me wrong, i will be forever thankful, thank you for making me tough, for training me, for making me realize my worth, and for failing me, but that would be it. I can't move on if I'm forever looking back.

I remember myself saying, that i will always be a LION no matter what, but now, with pride, i think i could muster to say,

I am now a STAG,
formerly a LION,
but will forever be a MAROON... (naisingit ko pa ang UP?) hehe

P.S. "Now that you're in baste, you can never wear something from beda" hahaha

E-P-S

E-P-S stands for EAT-PLAY-SWIM

Well, the past few days were like totally super wicked and fun! i've never had any better series of bonding experience with my officemates ever.

May 29: EAT

@ el pollo loco megamall

Food! Food! Food! Our friendship is very much grounded on it. Lol. Our food escapades pictures pretty much attest to our love for eating and our disregard to our figure? tama ba yon? haha
Remember, we are what we eat. hehe.

May 30: PLAY

@ the fort, playing volleyball. My team won - STAN, STEVE, TOM. My shoes - torn.

CVG Summer Flair! i thought it'll be a boring day for i got disappointed with the volleyball court, being the fan of the sport, i didn't expect that it'll be as such. the worst court ever! anyhow, kudos to our cheerers - Ejay and Czai! good job cheering! hehehe

We then decided to take on the water gun battle challenge. It's like that game in Takeshi's Castle, basta, yun na yun. Basang Sisiw - We all were.

As for me and my case, only one word, pitiable. Pano ba naman, when i said sugod, nobody went with me, ergo, i was the lone target, the chicken in the sea of anacondas, the first to get knocked out! ehehehe.

(from L-R) Stan, Fjordz, Ejay, Maty, Chas, Paul and Roxy
Gian sa videoke

Impulsive!!!
After the oh so hyped day, PAUL got the idea of swimming, syempre, game naman kame lahat. Viola! outing in an instant. We ended up swimming in our place in taytay.

Thanks to my mom for all the gratuities!

Ms. Maty Gabaya, the Shots master! :)

Of course, the night would not be complete without shots!
This one's a sure fire hit, "si ...., nakita namin may chaser sa beer!" hehe, peace friend!
We all just fooled around and made lait each other the entire time.
The blind items, the "paul" waterloos, the animal in maty, and everything in between made the night and the day after so fun-filled.

A for Effort sa same boxer briefs namin ni gian. hehe

Hats off to Stan, Paul, Gian and Maty, "the walang tigil sa paginom at walang antok na nararamdaman award". Grabe, from dusk til dawn, you never stopped. Ayan tuloy, ending, si gian, sa harap pa ng madaming tao. hehe. Peace!

Maty, Paul and Gian

Overall it was ultimately fun! never thought that these bunch of friends would actually end up having this night out together. i hope you had fun as much as i did. Til next time...

Well, that would be it for E-P-S. :)

it's UST once more

POSTED: MAY 27, 2010 in m facebook page

Today, once more, the UST lady tigresses bagged the trophy at the shakey's v-league and i was so lucky to have seen such, i must say, a lopsided game.

It was so different seeing it live. Well, i've been playing volleyball for like the majority of my life but being part of the audience, watching a high quality game? total exhilaration.

For the longest time, i've been a fan of the UST WVT and to see them in real life, up close, waah, starstruck! i never knew that Aiza Maizo (finals MVP) has such nice legs. hehe. Kudos to MJ Balse for being the spirit of the team and being the erratic leader; to the oh so underrated libero Jessica Curato; to Super blocker-setter-server-in-o

ne Rhea Dimaculangan and to the rest of the winning squad.

My heart goes to Jeng Bualee, your time will come. :) Such a big heart for the sport - sana lahat ng players ganun.

Rumor has it, Din-din Santiago's transferring to another school as well as Banaticla. :( if true, tough luck for ust.

thanks to paul mariano for inviting me. new found friends, anthony, glendel and jude, nice meeting you.

to ..... i still miss you...
