Flying Ipis, Lechon At Sakit Ng Tiyan

Grabe teka ang sakit ng tiyan ko! Ano ba yan ang dami ko kasing nakain ngayon araw. Kanina eh nagising ako ng alas ocho ng umaga. Ulupong na nga sa ulupong! Siguro limang oras lang tulog ko. Kinailangan ko nga lang pilitin, kasi naman, may kikitain pa akong kaibigan kong magdedebut. Ibibigay daw niya mga imbitasiyon niya sa akin ng alas nueve sa Starbucks sa Katipunan. Naisipan kong sumabay na sa tatay ko palabas. Di man lang ako nagshampoo. Sabagay, sa Starbucks lang naman (kung saan nandiyan ang mga conformists feeling gwapos all around nagyoyosi ever, button down shirt, nicely pressed pants, at kung hindi itim na leather shoes eh bowling shoes na parang sa Diesel galing eh sa greenhills talaga kamo, hanep). Ang nangyari, wala pa pala yung kaibigan ko. So, nagpunta muna akong Miriam. (Diyan ako nagtapos ng hayskul, sa mga hindi nakakaalam). Kinausap ko ulit si Manang Guard. Mabait pa rin siya. Kinuwento ko na sa Tate na ako magccollege. Nakup.

Pumunta ako sa admin building. Hanep talagang eskwelahan yan. Kahit kelan, eh iisa pa rin ang nagtatrabaho sa likod ng Administrative Office. And take note, mas mabagal pa siya kumilos kesa sa suso. Nakatayo ako don, nakapamewang sa sobrang inip ko. At least, nakita ko ang dati kong guro sa THE (Home Economics yan, nakalimutan ko na yung T, Technology ata). Ayon, nagkwentuhan kami. Sulatan ko daw siya. Pagkatapos ng sampung taon eh nakuha ko na sa wakas ang transcript na pinagpilahan ko at binayaran ng P60. (Galing talaga ng mga mautak nato!) Binuksan ko ang enbelop. Naka 90 pa ako sa PE, kung saan di ako nagpapass ng mga project. Haha. Laking tawa ko.

So fast forward tayo. Sa madaling salita, di kami nagkita ng kaibigan ko at napadpad ako sa opis ng tatay ko. Sa mga di nakakaalam, eh manggagamot ang tatay ko... ng mga nalulungkot at nalulumbay. Hahaha joks lang. Urologist siya. Yung sa urinary tract at sa kidneys at siyempre, oo, dun din sa pagtutuli at sa pagihi ng isang pasyente. Okay tama na. Nagpunta akong EAMC, kung saan siya ang Chairman. Gutom na ako. (Kasi kung nabasa niyo yung entry bago eto eh makikita niyo kung bakit. Anak ng tinapang donut yan oh!) Nagorder kami ng pagkain. Ang sarap! Lechon, crispy pata, manggang hilaw, chaka chopseuy. Ang sarap! Pagkatapos non, meme na ako. Grabe, parang naempacho na ata ako. Buti din di ako nabangungot. Baka masabihang may Acute Respiratory Eklat Eklat Pancreatitis pa ako. Hahahaha nagimbento ng sakit eh noh. Pero anyway. Ayun nga.

Nagising ako mga labinglimang minuto bago mag alas cinco. Nagmadali na kaming umuwi ng tatay ko. Meteor Garden na kasi. Wag kayo magcocomment. Kras ko nang sobra si Dao Ming Xi. Natutuwa akong sabihin na napanood ko siya at kinilig na naman ako sa kagwapuhan niya. Ang tamis tamis niya kasi eh gusto ko nang halikan. Joke lang! Para kong sira.

Intermission: Ang ingay ng traysikel! Shet naman eh ala una na ng umaga!

So anyway. Ipagpatuloy ang kwento. Pag-uwi ko eh nagkompyuter na naman ako. Mahilig kasi ako magtrivia. Subukan niyo, nakakatuwa. Pampalipas oras ko yan eh. Wala na naman kasi akong magawa, kaya yun nalang. Nakachat ko nga pala yung pinakamamahal ko ngayong araw. Tawa nga kami nang tawa eh. Buo na yung araw ko.

Pero shet! May umaaligid na kakaibang creature habang kachat ko itong taong to. PU-TAK-TE! May flying ipis! Eto na siguro ang pinakakadiring creature na nakikita ko sa Pilipinas. Tapos eto pa ang catch. ANG LAKI! Nataranta tuloy ako! Sa sobrang kakatalon ko dito eh natapakan ko yung cord, tapos nawala yung koneksyon ko sa internet. Of all the damn bad luck! Kinuha ko yung Baygon sa baba, sabay spray ako sa lahat ng angulo. Grabe ang hirap pala mamatay ng flying ipis! Nung hindi na siya nakalipad eh victorious na sana ako... sabay lipad ulit! Manggugulat! Putang*na! Nagtakbo ang heart beat ko. Naku, spray na naman ako. Sa wakas, namatay siya.

Ang hirap ko nakakonek sa internet pagkatapos non. Grabe pala ang koneksyon sa internet, puno lagi kahit anong oras (na malamang eh mga taong pupunta lang sa mga channel na ang pangalan ay "#manhunt"). Ang konklusyon sa storya ay, natuloy ko ang usapan namin ng mahal ko (weeee). Nasurvive ko ang flying ipis at sakit ng tiyan sa lechon. The end!

Through difficulties
to the stars...
      These are the slips of the pen, tongue and memory of an abashed, slaphappy crackpot. Word for word and letter for letter, by stronger reasons, I breathe and hope and raise my glass to Love, and a better tomorrow.

So invigorate me. Please.



I am nobody but me.

I guess having lost my entire sidebar will not work for me, but it's no reason either to start anew. =)

I am Jik. I believe in miracles, and I believe in hope. I am not prude nor old-fashioned even though I  believe that Love is very real and that it governs the world. I am not selfish even though I may be materialistic. I am not weak even though I sometimes crumble down to my knees. I am not poor even though  I have very little in my bank account. I try to embody what courage is all about and I try to do everything in spontaneity. I invest a whole lot of passion in anything I do, and I am and always will be  a dreamer. I admire people who uphold their beliefs in life, as I try to do so myself. I always strive  for the perfection of character, and make myself into the person I want to become. I seek for the greater  scheme of things, the tapestry of how everything falls into an exquisite, sublime plan. And my greatest  fortune is having found the secret of my life. This I intend to share with all of you someday.

Makulit. Malikot. Mababaw. I'm thumbelina, sweetie, choknat, bitch,  bastard, bruhilda, gaga, bubwit, baby, hoebag, dumbass, jiffy, jikinini, jikydoodles, gicgic, jikulit, jikywiky, jikaru,  jikers, jikee, jikijik, jikjik, jik, jixie, jikita, jikita banana, jikitita, jikaboo, or what have you. I'm the Jik you know and ever will know.

            
My personal prayers
The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr

The Prayer

I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your Grace
To a place where we'll be safe
La luce che tu dai
(I pray we'll find your light)
Nel cuore restera
(And hold it in our hearts)
A ricordarci che
(When stars go out each night)
L'eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
(Let this be our prayer)
Quanta fede c'e
(When shadows fill our day)
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
  Give us faith so we'll be safe.
Sogniamo un mondo senza piu violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita
La forza che ci dai
(We ask that life be kind)
E'il desiderio che
(And watch us from above)
Ognuno trovi amore
(We hope each soul will find)
Intorno e dentro a se
(Another soul to love)
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child
Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera

My Defining Moment:
Cassiel Matthias De Leon


You are the apple of my eye.





























Reflections
Music

Heart Door
Paula Cole with Dolly Parton


There is a diamond inside of me that lights up the sky of my soul/ Where fell the diamond when I believed that all of the hurt was my fault/ I'm opening the heart door, letting in the light/ Opening the heart door and giving life to me that died/ You ended up so with that person who comes home too late from the bar/ I ended up so when my courage could finally walk on its own/ When I finally opened the door/ I'm opening the heart door, letting in the light/ Opening the heart door and giving life to me that died/ You ended up so with that person who comes home too late from the bar/ I ended up so when my courage could finally walk on its own/ When I finally opened the heart door

With or Without You
U2


See the stone set in your eyes/ See the thorn twist in your side/ I wait for you/ Sleight of hand and twist of fate/ On a bed of nails she makes me wait/ And I wait without you/ With or without you/ With or without you/ Through the storm we reach the shore/ You give it all but I want more/ And I'm waiting for you/ With or without you/ With or without you/ I can't live/ With or without you/ And you give yourself away/ And you give yourself away/ And you give/ And you give/ And you give yourself away/ My hands are tied/ My body bruised, she's got me with/ Nothing to win and/ Nothing left to lose/ And you give yourself away/ And you give yourself away/ And you give/ And you give/ And you give yourself away/ With or without you/ With or without you/ I can't live/ With or without you/ With or without you/ With or without you/ I can't live/ With or without you/ With or without you

Off The Hook
Barenaked Ladies


All around the room your things are placed/ And next to you he fills the space/ And so it seems your saving grace is only saving face/ The pictures of the two of you on holiday, on honeymoon/ You thought that he was wanting you,/ But he was only wanting you to/ Let him off the hook/ He was your imaginary friend,/ You were partners til the end/ Then something bends, and then it breaks, your worst mistake/ Accepting enemies on bended knees; a litany of tragedies,/ You're vexed, it seems you're hexed and after sex he expects/ You'll let him off the hook til/ Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you/ Shaken while he stirred. When you awaken you will/ Make him eat his words right off the hook/ Hook and line, every time/ The credit card receipts, the dirty sheets/ The souvenirs of men who cheat/ It all makes sense - with each offense/ You wanted to believe him/ He could get away with murder one,/ And you would clean the smoking gun/ With every crime, you bought each line,/ But not this time, you'll make him/ Eat his words cause/ Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you/ Shaken while he stirred/ When you awaken you will/ Make him eat his, make him eat his/ Words while he's alone,/ Cause you won't be around and/ From now on the phone stays off the hook/ Hook and line, everytime/ Hook and line, everytime

Wherever You Are
Celeste Prince


Time has come, what's done is done/ It's time to move on/ To another place, another space,/ maybe circling some other sun/ Don't ask why, don't ask how/ I still can't explain/ To say goodbye, goodbye for now til I see you again/ In the sunlight that's where I'll be/ In the moon night close your eyes, you will see me/ In the sunrise in the twilight/ I'll be the morning and the evening star/ I will be there with you wherever you are/ Life is strange, such joy and pain/ The betrayal and the kiss/ It maybe meant to be, maybe destiny/ Leads us down a path like this/ Child is born, true love is sworn/ All the in-between/ Well you walk on, walk on until the path is gone/ Learning love is the only everything/ So it's goodnight, things go wrong/ but it's alright/ We're all just passin' through here/ At the speed of light/ In the sunlight that's where I'll be/ In the moon night close your eyes, you will see me/ In the sunrise in the twilight/ I'll be the morning and the evening star/ I will be there with you wherever you are
