|  | "Aruba, JAMAICA... Ooh I wanna take ya
Bermuda, Bahama
Come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego
Baby why dont we go
JAMAICA...
That's where I wanna go to get away from it all!"
I lurve beeday offs! After a year and a half of staying here in the isla, finally had the chance to getAWAY. Wish came true...
Jamaica is like Pinas all in one. Urban and rural scenery packed in one. But of course, mas dato and lucky pa rin ang Pinas. True, there are still countries out there worse than ours.
Anyway, I totally had fun. Basta may photoshoot, wagi tayo niyan. hehe. And not to miss my joke for that day:
Manong driver made pabida of his country. But also humble enough to admit the kapalpakan of his kababayans... Me naman, appreciated the things I saw. Nakiki-JAMeme rin... Then coolly blurted out:
"So where's Bob staying right now?"
"Ooh, he died in 1981."
Huuwaaat? Ulaaaaw ko... bwahaha. I should have kept my mouth shut. haha. Malay ko ba. Haller?! I'm not a Bob fanatic.Though somehow I learned to like some of his songs. Living in the Caribbean will make you like Reggae.
So how he died? Better not ask. Kept my mouth shut... Just wait for the details or rather search it over the net. *wink*
Wonder where's my next beeday off...

The PERFECT SEASON of the year meets the PERFECT BANNER for the SEASON.
*FYI, this is a kakaibang post. Sa makasabot lang…*
Is this the message I received last Thursday, 29-Apr-09? We had this intercessory prayer last Thursday handled by Mama Chi2 and Papa Raffy, together with some SFC members… I was soO grateful I received another gift, the gift of VISION… Am I confusing you? Hard to explain. (Sa makasabot na lang.) Me too, I’m having difficulty grasping things. Till now, I’m still wondering on the things I saw during our prayer. What are the messages behind them?
During the start of our prayer, I was soO disturbed. Nega thoughts hunted me. Tried hard to listen, reflect and pray but I couldn’t get myself focus and be present. I felt lost. Kung saan-saan napapadpad mind ko. And I hated myself for being such a pasaway that time, I felt so guilty... Besides that, I felt so uncomfy also. Naiihi ako in the middle of the session. Kaya waAy distracted na talaga ako. There was a battle inside me whether to pee or not… I wanted to pee but afraid I might distract others. But if continue to make tiis throughout the session, I might be distracted forevur. So I decided to pee.
After I went to the washroom, I went back to my seat and closed my eyes. Then I started praying. I was happy that all the disturbances and the nega thoughts went away... However, I felt something’s wrong again. Cos normally if I close my eyes, blackish and/or whitish slash yellowish yung nakikita ko. But that time I was seeing red and orange, it was like a big fire. I got scared cos for me parang super nega na ang naiisip. Of course, we were praying and I was thinking na baka ganun ang hell… SCARY, swear… Then the red and orange turned into bloody red. It was flowing like a blood.. Kakatakot na ha, this wasn’t a joke anymore. So I tried to peek. I checked the color of the things in front of me. Baka nga may something red and nagrereflect lang ang color. But I didn’t find any. Impossible naman if yung carpet which is color maroon. Yes, impossible cos super dikit sa amin ang table which almost covered the carpet. I wasn’t even looking down, head straight lang po. I wasn’t even thinking of nega thoughts either. Super layo ng thoughts ko to imagine such thing. I was trying to imagine light and not red. 
Anyway, I closed my eyes again. That time, I saw a grotto na side view and of course with Mama Mary. Umiiba ang angle till Mama Mary became so visible. Our Lady of Fatima or Our Lady of Lourdes? I dunno. Basta the usual Mama Mary na nasa grotto, white and blue… I was glad and relieved with the image I saw. But then wondered why I was seeing her, I wasn’t thinking of her. I was thinking of God.
The prayers and praises continued… There were some who sang and some even cried. Then some started speaking in tongue… I didn’t cry and sing. And no tongue for me that night though I was wishing. But I couldn’t get myself. Yes, hard to explain. But I could affirm, it is really a work of the Holy Spirit. Something you couldn’t control. Truly it is a gift… However, I prayed for the gift of Healing. I wanna be healed. I wanted all my worries to go… So I waited and hoped for a sign of healing… Doris who was beside me kept on wagging her foot. Nangangalay or nangangati lang siguro si Doris. But still, I took it as my sign of healing.
Later on, Mama Chi encouraged us to share our visions…I wasn’t counting on it na but I wanted to. Maybe someday I’ll ask for such gift. Malay mo vision na pala yung nakita ko earlier… Still closed eyes, I continued to pray in silence. Mommy Shelly shared her vision about a little boy without face. Mama Chi2 interpreted it, it’s all about the unborn children. That we need to pray to stop abortion… Tumpak, especially now Obama just legalized abortion.
 While eyes closed, I saw an image of a girl. It was Mama Mary again, weeping tears of blood. Small lang ang image but the image seemed familiar to me… Doris again, began wagging her foot… Then Mama Chi2 called my name, “RJ, share your vision”… All of a sudden biglang popped out ang image as in maximized. The image I was seeing became so clear. I knew this image, we have this postcard back home. A black and white photo of Mama Mary weeping tears of blood, with a prayer at the back… I was saddened by the image of Mama Mary. Why is she crying? Why tears of blood? I shared it to the group and Mama Chi asked us to pray again for the unborn children and the souls in purgatory.
*almost same image but in different angle and it was black and white*
Aside from the visions-affirmations… There was also a time wherein I think some of the members prayed for their special intentions and Mama Chi2 gave the affirmation. Daming YES, YES, YES. Hopefully isa dun ang prayer ko. I want to believe so… Amazing, hard to explain nga. But just imagine after you ask your question, in your mind lang po ha, there’s an affirmation agad. How come she can read minds? Well it’s not really she, it’s the HS.
Lastly, Papa Raffy asked us to pray over the 3 1st timers who joined the prayer. Pray for their healing whatever worries they are having… So we went near them. Doris again, grabbed me and asked me stay in front, exactly sa likod ng baguhang participant… Oh NoO! I was asking for gift of healing. Hindi ako yung magheheal, Do. But then I submitted myself… Kinda weird cos I felt there was someone who slightly touched my right hand. I tried to peek ulit. Impossible ang chair cos may kataasan ang pagraise ng kamay ko. Impossible din naman si Rhinna cos we were not that close either… Anyway, another sign of healing for me… And I think I was healed talaga.
And so the session finished… Kanya-kanyang share ng mga experiences. And me, I told the rest about seeing Fire and Blood. I didn’t share it earlier cos I was hesitant baka imagination ko lang. But Mama Chi2 affirmed that I received the gift of Vision that night.
Few days after, Doris and I had a chitchat… She was wagging her feet daw because she felt I was having a vision daw. She was wagging not because nangangati or nangangalay daw siya, she did it because somebody made her do it.
For days now, I’m trying to find answers on the things I saw. Just tonight when I opened my lappy, I was shocked when saw the news about the Santa Barbara Wildfire. I dunno if this is the affirmation of my vision. Coincidence lang ba or not? And till now I’m still wondering about the images of Mama Mary… Maybe I need to ask mama or my aunt to check our altar back home. I need to get the prayer of the postcard. I need to decipher the message.
Surely, I don’t have to decipher the workings and gifts of the Holy Spirit I experienced and received… So grateful I received the gift of tongue and already had an affirmation that truly it was a gift. My explanation, later… The gift of voice. Meron ba nun? Haha. But amazed again by the experienced I had last month. Details, next time.
Well, thanks and praises to God! Continue to have faith… Believe in Him. Pray always…
*P.S. Hindi po me manghuhula, hindi din me santo. hehe… I said this is a kakaibang post. I just want to share this. I think I have a good side din naman kahit madalas pasaway ako. hehe.* as requested by ate rhodey.
So here’s me ORANGE bag. Dad’s pasalubong when he went to Virginia last holy week. 
Dad thought it was pink. Haller daddy? Color blind ba you? Hehe… Chosen by him (2nded by my tita and the rest daw). He really likes it. He likes the color and the design... Yah right, I can remember it’s kinda similar to the bags you bought mama way nineteen kupong-kupong. Hehe. Peace dy! J
I honestly don’t agree with the color, swear… I was (and I am?) decided to give it to mama instead. I’m sure she will really lurve it. Surely, she will have these orange clothes and shoeses collectibles.
But then last Sunday at the church, I saw a woman, carrying an Orange C bag. Almost the same like mine… She made me see the beauty of having an Orange C bag. Aawww! Yeah, the lights made it beautiful and elegant. No wonder, namangha si daddy sa color... But I’m still not sure pa rin sa design. hehe... Uhmm, the design maybe be okay. Office material, totyal. But my uniform is color blue. Can you imagine blue and orange?
Anyway, later when I arrived home, I took the orange thingy out from the bag. Analyzed the thingy. Checked my dresser. Maybe a mix and match is all I need… Till something hit me. Instead of looking formal with the bag, why not make it a sling bag… Right! I tried it and it looked fine… Uhmm, maybe I can consider. *wink*
Infairness, the bag looks nice. CLASSY. However, is NOT ME bag… Mom’s black bag definitely fits her.
Thanks KC for the inspiration. and Thanks DADDY for my new mouse... *wink* p.s. kurog kaayo kug kamot. haha... oks lang, lingaw man pud. | | March 31: Actual Beeday.
• Instead of fine dining with dad, para maiba naman… I decided na magluluto na lang ko.
• Kaya nagluto lang ako ng kare-kare, alfredo fettuccine and baked ng brownies… It’s my beeday so I’m gonna cook for ya’ll.
• Ang mga hausmates ay nagtulong-tulong sa pagluto ng tokwa’t baboy… our all time fave.
• Nagdala din si Al ng megang higanteng Ice Cream from Baskins.
• Mawawala ba naman ang drinks? For the boys nga lang kasi pass ako dyan.
• Mga bisita: hausmates (bisita pa rin), kapitbahay (iilan lang) at piling mga friendships… Jannell, Jhonna and Eron. Hindi nakapagdalo ang iba kasi busy-busy.
• Walang photo shooting na naganap kasi sobrang napagod ang lola mo sa pagluto. Kainan na agad!
• Super natuwa naman ako kasi SOLD OUT kare-kare ko. May talent na ako! Haha.
April 01: Pa-Beeday ni Kuya Felix.
• Pinaghanda ako ni Kuya Felix, Jenny-vi, Richan and si Jhonna na rin… Dapat sa labas kami kakain at dapat kahapon yun. Ang kaso, hindi ako pwede.
• Mas OKAY nga. Super touched ako sa effort nila… PinaMingwit, pinagLuto, pinagIhaw, pinagBili at pinagHanda talaga nila ako.
• Yum3! Ang sarap ng food… At sobrang sarap ng wine.
• Mga pahabol na bisita: si Gov, Kuya Tagay, Eron at May… Na masayang nakipagkantahan din sa amin.
• Salamat, salamat, salamat sa inyo… Super nagalak ako… Feeling ko super special talaga ako sa inyo.
April 04: Pa-Beeday ng mga Hausmates.
• Dahil ikaw an aming BUNSO (though I’m not the youngest), ipaghahanda at ipaglelechon ka namin!
• Patak-patak-patak at megaBayanihan sila sa paghahanda sa beeday party ko… All prepared by them kasi may trabaho ako.
• Mga handa: Famous Spaghetti and Pancit ni Kuya Jojo, Dinuguan ni Kuya Jay, Sangkaterbang Crispy Pata, ang hindi pa nangangalahating Ice Cream ni Al at syempre ang Lechon.
• Mawawala ba naman ang mga inumin? Hindi siyempre, overflowing nga sa dami.
• Inimbitahan ko na rin sina Ate Gina, Ate Jeannie, Ate Vangie at Jhonna… Naligaw naman si Ping kasi may party din sa kabilang haus. Sa amin na naki-Jamming.
• Party to sawa… feeling bunso at debutante ako nun.
• Salamat ng marami mga hausmates… Kaya nga siguro hindi namin maiwan-iwan ni daddy ang lugar na toh. Magulo man ang bahay, super saya naman at sobrang bait ninyo sa amin.
April 05: Ang SURPRISE party.
• Baby shower daw ni Nerissa… Pero may idea na ako na surprise party ko yun. The Spoiler: Ate Dolor. Hehe. Binigyan na nya ako ng hint noong Martes pa. Hint nga ba or inabisuhan niya talaga ako? *wink*
• Alam ko namang hindi ako matitiis ni Ate Gina eh… Matagal ko ng wish na isurprise party nila ako. Ang kaso, hindi naman ako qualified para sa bridal or baby shower daw.
• Pero nasurprise pa rin ako… Ambushin ba naman ni Jhonna ang pagsundo sa akin sa bahay. Super hindi pa nakag-prepare ang lola mo sa get-up niya.
• Mas lalo akong nasurprise noong na Spots na kami… Ang dami niyo pala? Halos lahat ng kaclose ko sa work noon ay present. With extension pa of friends.
• Besides sa party, may mga gifts pang kasama… Jenny-vi: Escada’s Emerlad Dream, pair of lingerie from Ate Gina, necklace from Ate Vangie, VS cologne from Ate Jeannie… Grabe na toh, may party na nga may gifts pa!
• Super saya to the FULLEST... Ang saya ng kulitan at ng samahan. Talagang nakakamiss sila. Kahit malayo na ako ay hindi pa rin nila ako nakakalimutan. Special pa rin ako sa kanila, ako pa rin ang bunso at baby nila. hehe.

Since his family is in the Phils, he decided to treat us out, that includes Jeny-vi, Richan, Jhonna and yours truly. But more than a daughter’s beeday, I think Kuya is trying to make up with me also *wink*… You’re a manager but unfortunately you’re not my manager ang drama ng lola mo. Haha. Taray! Nah. Hindi pa naman, hindi ko naman sinabing talk to my manager. Magkagubot pa lang. But of course, I informed my manager about it. Hehe.

banner: March Edition.
 coming sooOn...
uhmm… i still need 6 more to complete the set… 28 for my Big Day! *wink* banner: february edition  happy heart
happy heart’s month everyone!
stay happy, true and in love always… mwah. my current addiction… MAKIs!
i used to hate makis… my aunt used to convince me to appreciate japanese food coz sosi daw. but way no-no, not my kind of food... even yanski, he used to share his addictions on makis way back his lucena days. i tried it again, ended up giving my share to my officemates… then when i was still new here in gc, dad was craving for some sushi and maki and so he wanted to have sunday brunch at thai orchid. obviously, i objected but still i didn’t get my way. ended up complaining after our lunch... (the brat side of me. *wink*). i didn’t enjoy the food. uhm, maybe so-so but that time, i was uberly craving for steak. (i’m a freakin’ steak lover, btw.)
but now… i super duper lurve MAKIs. especially california maki. the wasabi sauce thingy as well.
 thai orchid’s california maki
with regards to using chopsticks, just count me out… huwaaat? lolz.
figuring out how to fake it
ooh puhleease... my fingers couldn’t manage to hold those sticks. poor me, poor fingers… but i’m learning how to fake now. *wink*… after my sort of date at ritz carlton thousand years ago. ei, i was just being true that time. i didn’t have to pretend too coz D was nice naman. still, it was soO hilarious and kakaturn-off... also, after witnessing how some whites and blacks faked with their sticks. mga feelers! feeling like a pro bisan dili jud kamao. haha. at least hindi me nag-iisa... hmm… i think, i’m way better than them. i should be better than them. i’m not a jappy girl, not even chinese but i’m positively ASIAN. i’m so filipino… di ba may connection? lolz… so, i should be better than them… when it comes to faking. haha… and so, I decided to fake along now. lolz. | | dinner with dad at thai orchid resto… after our father-daughter tampururot mode. and yeps, after the disastrous beef giniling incident too. *wink*
the food... just so-so. i lurved the maki. the punch too. the main course? not really cos it was damn spicy... i'm not really a thai cuisine fanatic, after all.
btw, since i’m still on my NO SHOPPING campaign, i convinced dadi to do the shopping instead.
|
dad told me that he will treat me out tonight. so i didn’t rush myself preparing for dinner. (btw, bati na kami ni dadi. super bati na may balato pang kasama. *wink*) instead, feeling like a good girl, i had this initiative to make painit of the left over (beef giniling with patatas) from last night. baka kasi mapanis kaya painit ko na muna… since i’m practicing and learning now not to stay and wait in front of the kalan while cooking, i decided to go inside our room.
i remembered, i made a promise that i should play wii boxing every tuesday and wednesday. form of exercise ko na. but then, the thought of me na gihangak ug maayo after playing parang super nakakapagod naman. so, i decided not to… then i saw the chicharon kuya mando gave me yesterday. had a hard time deciding whether to eat or not. reminded myself that i should control my intake coz i’m getting fatter na talaga. kaso, the thought of chicharon with vinegar and salt parang nakakalaway talaga. so i gave up and decided to eat the chicharon with coke pang kasama… yum3! mega namnam talaga sa chicharon. i really had a hard time stopping myself. after i finished my soda, i filled my glass with water. i noticed that our water container is almost empty. time for refill na. but then i got lazy… i could do it afterwards pa naman. no need to rush… and so turned my lappy on and decided to watch some movies online. torn whether to watch harley & me or underworld: rise of the lycans… ended up opening both, hopped from one movie to another. depende sa buffer.
while watching, naalala ko ulit ang tubig. ‘you need to refill it now’… seems like there was something or someone na gustong iparefill talaga sa akin asap. so, i submitted myself and decided to refill the container...
when i opened the door, may bigla akong naamoy na masarap. must be some lechon kawali or crispy pata. nakakagutom naman… and when i reached the kalan, parang napabayaan ata ang lechon kawali…
oooh my, mukhang nasunog… i wonder who left it unattended. buti na lang lumabas ako, thanks to me. and since i’m a concern citizen, i decided to lower down the fire. then checked kung ano talaga ang niluluto. i opened the cover kaso had difficulty recognizing what was inside dahil sa usok. something black naman, baka dinuguan. but how come wala ng sabaw, natuyuan na ata… if i won’t turn off the stove baka tuluyang masunog. finally, i decided to turn it off. feeling proud of myself, feeling bayani. lolz. then, one of my housemates entered our kitchen, si al… i told him na may nakaiwan ng niluluto at parang nasunog na. maybe he knows kung sinong may-ari, might be his mom. kaso, he just woke up kaya wala rin siyang idea. actually, he was awakened by the smell daw coz amoy masarap kaso mukhang mausok daw ata.
i was trying to figure out kung kanino yun. i was soO positive na hindi amin yun though same sa pan namin ang nakasalang. maybe kina ate aden coz pareha kami ng pan. to be sure, i checked our storage baka hiniram yung pan namin, wala naman doon. then bigla kong naalala na nasa loob lang ng room, pinaglagyan ng beef giniling.
oooppsss… did i mean, beef giniling?
aoooh… my beef giniling nga!!! my beef giniling na naging ULING! huhu…
gulay, i totally forgot it! promise, i was so clueless… nauwi sa wala ang initiative ko. i left it for an hour and high fire pa talaga.
ayun, dali-dali kong hinugasan and threw out all the evidences. as in everything turned into uling talaga and sobrang usok din ng house… i should have taken some pics for blogging purposes but then nawala na sa isip ko. i was rushing kasi baka dumating na mga housemates ko, kakahiya kung ganun. lagot kung ganun.
i should be pissed, feel bad and guilty… yeah, kinda guilty. my bad, so irresponsible of me. whatevs... however, i have the reason to feel thankful. so thankful sa “bulong”... i can’t imagine kung totally nasunog yun, malamang headline na ako tomorrow. filipino headline ulit. following last week’s headline, “gas explosion injures two”. i guess, i learned my lesson well... bahala na jud varicose-un sa pagtindog ug balantay sa kalan, basta all safe lang talaga. *wink* *sayang ang niluto ko... masarap pa naman sana =(
yippeeee!
i drove all by myself tonight. i gathered all my courage to drive on my own, without an instructor by my side... and I MADE IT!
since dad and I are not yet on speaking terms talaga, kinda shy me sa paghingi ng ride. that’s why i decided to drive on my own… he gave me the spare key last december, meaning he trusts my driving na. he’s been encouraging me to drive alone. but then, i was a coward, so chicken to try…. not tonight, i took all my courage. and since i was going to our SFC’s household, i was quite confident that He will guide me with my driving. and surely, He did!
my driving went well. everything went smoothly... no rush. no traffic jams… surely wala talagang traffic coz past 5 na nun. it’s saturday din po kaya. and len’s haus is not that far from ours, just a 5 minute drive. so ok lang. most of all, i don’t have to deal with those pesky roundabouts. just the simple 4 way rule, the 1-2-3 rule which I love so much. so safe. all you need to do is wait for your queue, just a simple FIFO.
there was one aberya nga lang… when i reached len’s haus, she noticed na kinda flat tires ko. take note, TIRES. the two tires on the right… argh! panic attack na sana ako but len assured me that everything will be fine. the gasoline station is just a block away, hindi pa naman siguro bibigay and tires ko noh? (still, i worried. hindi nga lang pa-obvious. hello..? naka skirt kaya ako. unsaon na lang? oh my!) lucky me, harold was there and has a pump whatevs. he filled my tires with air… whew... thanks len and harold... of course, thanks God!
and now, i’m back home… soO safe… and i’m soO grateful! *smile*
hmm… am i really a professional driver na ba talaga? after two long years of being a coward, finally nagkaguts na rin ako... i guess, i just don’t have a choice. i need to learn how to drive on my own coz sooner, i’ll be all by myself na. ahuhu… (nah, i don’t wanna think about it muna. hinay-hinay lang. *wink*)
and speaking of professional driver. geezum, my license is about to expire! yeah, i have it for almost two years na and wala jud napuslan ug taman. hehe… better than nothing. i don’t think i’ll be able to pass the road test here, not in one take! lolz. 
i’m a pro!
*FYI … this island is so tadtad ng roundabouts. obsessed. so liit na place but they have more than 10 roundabouts here, i think, and still counting… they even come in different sizes, from penny-to-doughnut-to-car tire. they are like the billboards along EDSA, each carries a company name. form of ad na ata nila ang roundabouts. bungga! the bigger the roundabout, the greater and more sosyalen the sponsored company. san ka pa? hehe… hmm… i can’t imagine pinas implementing the roundabout rule, the give way and priority rule. unsa na lang kaya mahitabo?*
gggrrrrrrr…
I HATE THE WORLD TODAY!
and i HATE myself for being such a BRAT…
i HATE the phone conversation i had with mom… kinda aware of my mood but clueless with what’s going on with me. tried to cheer me up but then i wasn’t in the mood for talking.
i HATE the fresh tortillas that FELL on the floor…
yeah, that’s my KARMA… and I DESERVE it!
but i have REASONS… reasons to be PISSED OFF!
now, i feel SORRY… and MISERABLE. *sob* happy 30th anniversary daddy and mama! (hmm… no cheesy stuff na muna. *wink*) since there’s a special occasion, i decided to prepare something special. as in mega special… 
my very first kare-kare… o deeevah? mukhang kare-kare talaga?! i traded dad’s treat (westin’s sunday brunch) for this.
tikim muna. no veggies for me, puhleaaseee.
SUCCESS. yum3! it’s soO worth it! worthy ang trade... uhm, worthy din ang phone calls ko, bugging mama and my brother for instructions. (swear, nahurot jud baya akong load ay. lolz.)
special thanks to… 
for saving me with the gisa thingy. it really blends well with my kare-kare.
and to complete our lunch special, i baked some brownies last night – turtle brownie (with caramel and walnuts).
we finished one pan last night and this morning, hindi na nakacontrol si daddy, tinira na rin ang isa. hehe.
uhmm... i feel so talented now. am i turning into a pro na ba? haha.
i'm not really a paris hilton fanatic. but gawd, i badly need her can can scent. it is soO ooohh-la-la. soO sweet, soO feminine, and i lab it! where oh where can i find it? where can i buy it? when can i have it? it's all sold out here, huhu... thanks to jhonna for introducing the scent, for leaving the scent on my bed... now, i'm addicted to it. unfortunately, i don't have mine... yet (and it's driving me crazy).  | Guestbook | |
