The Irony of Life (or Whatever).

Singapore.

Just when I’m beginning to learn how to fall in love with this city…it’s time to go.
Well I guess that’s what you call the irony of life, right? (or not. LOL.)

Whoever invented irony (or whatever) in this world,
S-C-R-E-W Y-O-U-!

Ashes, Pieces, and the Highly Unanticipated Return of Gibberish.

Look who’s back, rising from the ashes
of whatever’s left of his abandoned blog?

This One’s For You.

Sa aking mga magulang, mga kapatid, mga tito at tita, mga pinsan, mga pamangkin, mga kamag-anakan, mga guro, mga kaibigan, kapanalig, kakosa, at lalung-lalo na, sa Dakilang May Likha–sa lahat po ng naging parte ng buhay ko, at nagsilbing inspirasyon ko–para po sa INYO ang tagumpay na ito. Hindi ko po mararating ang puntong ito, kung hindi dahil sa inyo. Kaya mula po sa kaibuturan ng aking puso…SALAMAT, SALAMAT.

Sana po’y hindi kayo magsawang samahan akong muli dito sa bagong yugtong aking bubuklatin, mga bagong pakikipagsapalaran na aking susuungin, at mga bagong landas na aking tatahakin.

Hindi man tayo magkasama sa lahat ng oras, at magkaiba man tayo ng paroroonan, ito lamang ang inyong pakatandaan… WALANG PAA-PAALAM, dahil lahat kayo’y nandirito–sa aking isip, at sa aking puso–magpakailanman.

Sent from Heaven.

My second first-degree nephew, Ryan Sebastian/Santino (my sister and my bro-in-law has not made a decision on the baby’s second name yet), came in today–May 15, 2009–and I couldn’t contain my excitement! I mean like, he’s so cute with those pinch-worthy rosy cheeks of his!

Wait, wait, wait…so this just means, I’m a TITO to the second power as of this writing! Hahaha. Naku, nephews and nieces are coming one by one from all parts of the globe. Ummm…does that mean I’m getting old/er? Heheh! Whatever.

Anyways, congratulations Ate Chelay and Kuya Jobet! This is it! This is really it! You can literally be called parents now! I’m so happy for you guys. Oh, and just so you know…am looking forward to seeing Baby Ryan in person, at the soonest possible time! But first, I hafta be an R.N. na dapat. So ummm…like when Baby Ian arrived, this means the motivation to be one has just been fueled even more. Yeah!!!

Man in the Mirror.

Four weeks ago, my white nursing uniform fitted me perfectly. And by that, I meant that it was just my size as it went around my gigantic belly and accommodated it not that generously for all it was worth (’cause there’s not much space in between my undershirt and the fabric of the upper shirt of my uniform).

Fast forward to the present–I mean like, four weeks after–I decided to try it on ’cause we’re gonna have our graduation picture taken soon and we needed to wear it for the pictorial proper. So I slid into my pants and donned my upper shirt, buttoned up like there was no tomorrow…all in all being very eager to see how my beloved white uniform would look on me. After I straightened the folds and creases, and…and…combed my hair with my hand, I looked at myself in the shiny, reflective piece of invention in front of me which they commonly refer to as…the mirror. LOL.

What I saw in the mirror SHOCKED me like a thousand volts would.

Teh Fat Kid Got Alarmed.

Okay, I’m bored. Well I was…not until that fateful Tuesday afternoon, when my friends invited me to go biking. And because of their strong convincing powers, I went with them. I went biking. From that day on, I’ve decided to start making a habit out of it. Like, for at least forty five minutes to an hour a day, I would bike–I would bike my stress out; I would bike my boredom; I would bike for my life– as if I have never biked before.

Deeds on Paper: The Eighteenth Week

Hey there guys! We’re now down to our eighteenth week of “Deeds on Paper”. Hep, hep, hep! Wait a sec. Before we even get to the bottom of this week’s deed, well let me first take this opportunity to congratulate our very own Manny Pacquiao, for knocking out Ricky Hatton in just TWO FREAKING ROUNDS a few hours ago. (Heck, my excitement level had not even reached its peak! As it was about to get amped up, it went down in a snap. Haha.) You made us, your fellow Pinoys, very very proud of you!

Okay, enough with the Pacquiao-Hatton brouhaha. Everyone’s been talkin’ about it the whole day, so why should I even bother to expound on the subject? Hah! Whatever. I’m saying unnecessary stuff again. Slap me. Shake me. Stop me. Now. Yeah. Like that. Thanks! Rawr! Haha. Now let’s get down to real business.

So what does the deed box have in store for us this week? Well, let’s go find out after the jump!
