What happened last Nov. 23, 2008?

Its gianna's first birthday, Lei's niece... Held at cableway resort in binangonan, nov. 23, 2008.

We're running late and dont know where exactly the venue was. Lei said that its right after Iglesia Ni Cristo coming from the main town... We passed the INC and ask somebody, "oist! San yung Cableway resort?" juncel said with 'siga' accent... I think we gave the guy a fright, "doon po, lagpas na po", the guy replied... We realized then we came from the highway and not from the main town, so the venue is before INC not after... We asked direction to an old man, he said its right there... There's a huge signage that says "Cableway Resort this way"... LOL...

Well, we are an hour late. And we were welcomed by Mr. Gervacio, Lei's Dad...The kids are playing parlor games with Dora the explorer mascot, a funny looking mascot. Gepz said, "bakit parang may kalyo sa mukha si Dora?" its actually the cheek bone of Dora... Lei said, "Si Dora may kanal sa ulo"... Dora has a lot fans, even the guardians took pictures with Dora (pang-friendster)... Then another special guest was introduced... It was Barney (ang baklitang dinosaur?)... the kids frantically run towards barney to hug him and to have pictures taken...The kids are so happy to see Dora and Barney together dancing... Barney is a great dancer I must say...

Then the moment we are waiting for, the host announced that its chowtime... Yahu!... The food are delicious, specially the one with crab meat... The dessert, I dont know what they call it, its like a leche flan with grated cheese toppings, its really good... And the spaghetti, its different from the usual filipino spaghetti, I keep saying "di ko malasahan", I end up finishing the whole plate... hehehe... Im just TomJones...

After the birthday party, we went to Jam's cousin's place in angono, fiesta pala... While we were caugt in the traffic going to rainbow, we witnessed a man beaten by another man,its like a boxing match, until the weakest fell on the floor, we thought he was dead 'coz he's not moving The other guy went away, leaving the poor guy unconscious... The neighbors are just watching, nobody tried to help the unconscious man...After a while, we are in the traffic... Mhy said,"bakit trapik, wala bang pulis?"... Jam get off the car to see what causing the traffic and found out that there's no traffic enforcer in the intersection... Mhy said, "Walang pulis? Eh bakit may naririnig akong nag-pipito!"... Gepz said, "Baka may referee!"...Lol...We got to the cousin's place, we ate a little and said thank you and gotta go... in other word , "eat and run"... hehhehe...

Then we headed to Jerry's place... Its another amazing race experience, we kinda lost count of the humps on the road... Then finally jam said that this is it! He found the house... Oh good Lord!...We met jerry's family, his hospitable mom and his pretty sister who mixed the vodka for us... The vodka mix is really good, something different from our usual gsm... We didn't actually finished the pitcher, we kinda felt the vodka on our nerves... Well I think its the tiger prawn with pineapple and coconut milk, or the "ginataang suso", I like it better in tagalog, hehehe, naughty mind!... Everybody is super "busog", with ube and fruit salad for dessert... We are so high in cholesterol, we created another character... Si Kapitana who forgot to wear her earrings at si Attorney who always question everything... Oh and Congressman in his barong...

Jerry drove us to rachel's place, using Mhy's new family car, Sportivo baby... We watch Incredible Hulk on board, on our way to rachel's house... At rachel's place, another session of redhorse, I have a job interview the next so I'm allowed not to drink. We talked about job interviews... Its really nice I have friends like them, such a great help... After rounds of drinks, and its getting really late and I'm really sleepy. I decided to go home by my self, 'coz I can't wait for jam's car any longer...

It was a fun night, I feel so bloated with all the food we ate... Thank you guys...Till next time...

Now add up the total number of points.


OVER 60 POINT: Others see you as someone they should 'handle with care'. You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Othe rs may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.


51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality, a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once, someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.


41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting, someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding, someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.


31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you, realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.


21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.


UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well, know that you aren't.

Sulat ni Tatay at Nanay sa Atin

-A friend of mine send me an email yesterday "Sulat ni Tatay at Nanay sa Atin" as the subject... It really moved me and made me think... that time will come my parents will get really really old and as the youngest, taking good care of them is my responsibility... "Tay, Nay, don't worry! I will get you a caregiver"... hehehe joke!

Here's the email...


Sulat ni Tatay at Nanay sa Atin

Mahal kong anak, Sa aking pagtanda, unawain mo sana ako at pagpasensiyahan. Kapag dala ng kalabuan ng mata ay nakabasag ako ng pinggan o nakatapon ng sabaw sa hapag kainan, huwag mo sana akong kagagalitan. Maramdamin ang isang matanda. Nagse-self-pity ako sa tuwing sinisigawan mo ako. Kapag mahina na ang t enga ko at hindi ko maintindihan ang sinasabi mo, huwag mo naman sana akong sabihan ng "binge!" paki-ulit nalang ang sinabi mo o pakisulat nalang. Pasensya ka na, anak. Matanda na talaga ako.
Kapag mahina na ang tuhod ko, pagtiyagaan mo sana akong tulungang tumayo, katulad ng pag-aalalay ko sa iyo noong nag-aaral ka pa lamang lumakad. Pagpasensyahan mo sana ako kung ako man ay nagiging makulit at paulit-ulit na parang sirang plaka. Basta pakinggan mo nalang ako. Huwag mo sana akong pagtatawanan o pagsasawaang pakinggan.
Natatandaan mo anak no ong bata ka pa? Kapag gusto mo ng lobo, paulit-ulit mo 'yong sasabihin, maghapon kang mangungulit hangga't hindi mo nakukuha ang gusto mo. Pinagtyagaan ko ang kakulitan mo.
Pagpasensyahan mo na rin sana ang aking amoy. Amoy matanda, amoy lupa. Huwag mo sana akong piliting maligo. Mahina na ang katawan ko. Madaling magkasakit kapag nalamigan, huwag mo sana akong pandirihan. Natatandaan mo noong bata ka pa? Pinagtyagaan kitang habulin Sa ilalim ng kama kapag ayaw mong maligo. Pagpasensyahan mo sana kung madalas, ako'y masungit, Dala na marahil ito ng katanda an. Pagtanda mo, maiintindihan mo rin.
Kapag may konti kang panahon, magkwentuhan naman tayo, kahit sandali lang. Inip na ako sa bahay, maghapong nag-iisa. Walang kausap. Alam kong busy ka sa trabaho, subalit nais kong malaman mo na sabik na sabik na akong makakwentuhan ka, kahit alam kong hindi ka interesado sa mga kwento ko. Natatandaan mo anak, noong bata ka pa? Pinagtyagaan kong pakinggan at intindihin ang pautal-utal mong kwento tungkol sa iyong teddy bear.
At kapag dumating ang sandali na ako'y magkakasakit at maratay sa banig ng karamdaman, huwag mo sana akong pagsawaang alagaan. Pagpasensyahan mo na sana kung ako man ay maihi o madumi sa higaan, Pagtyagaan mo sana akong alagaan sa mga huling sandali ng aking buhay. Tutal hindi na naman ako magtatagal.
Kapag dumating ang sandali ng aking pagpanaw, hawakan mo sana ang aking kamay at bigyan mo ako ng lakas ng loob na harapin ang kamatayan.
At huwag kang mag-alala, kapag kaharap ko na ang Diyos na lumikha, ibubulong ko sa kanya na pagpalain ka sana .....
Dahil naging mapagmahal ka sa iyong ama't ina...

Birth Test...

Our Birth Date describes who we are, what we are good at, and what our inborn abilities are. It also points to what we have to learn and the challenges we are facing. To figure out your Birth Number, add all the numbers in your Birth Date together, like in the following example, until there is only one digit. A Birth Number does not prevent you from being anything you want to be, it will just color your choice differently and give you a little insight.

Example: March 20, 1950

3 + 20 + 1950 = 1973

1 + 9 + 7 + 3 = 20

2 + 0 = 2

Keep going until you end up with a single digit number. 2 is the Birth Number to read for the Birth Date in the example.

#1 THE ORIGINATOR

#2 THE PEACEMAKER

#3 THE LIFE OF THE PARTY

#4 THE CONSERVATIVE

#5 THE NONCONFORMIST

#6 THE ROMANTIC

#7 THE INTELLECTUAL

#8 THE BIG SHOT

#9 THE PERFORMER

#1 - THE ORIGINATOR - 1's are originals. Coming up with new ideas and executing them is natural. Having things their own way is another trait that gets them labeled as being stubborn and arrogant. 1's are extremely honest and would do well to learn some diplomacy skills. They like to take the initiative and are often leaders or bosses, as they like to be the best. Being self-employed is definitely helpful for them. Lessons to learn: Others' ideas might be just as good or better; and to stay open minded. {Famous 1's - Tom Hanks, Robert Redford, Hulk Hogan, Carol Burnett, Wynona Judd, Nancy Reagan, and Raquel Welch.}

#2 - THE PEACEMAKER - 2's are the born diplomats. They are aware of others' needs and moods and often think of others before themselves. Naturally analytical and very intuitive, they don't like to be alone. Friendship and companionship are very important and can lead them to be successful in life; but, on the other hand, they'd rather be alone than in an uncomfortable relationship. Being naturally shy, they should learn to boost their self-esteem and express themselves freely and seize the moment and not put things off. {Famous 2's - President Bill Clinton, Madonna, Whoopie Goldberg, Thomas Edison, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.}

#3 - THE LIFE OF THE PARTY - 3's are idealists. They are very creative, social, charming, romantic, and easygoing. They start many things but don't always see them through. They like others to be happy and go to great lengths to achieve it. They are very popular and idealistic. They should learn to see the world from a more realistic point of view. {Famous 3's - Alan Alda, Ann Landers, Bill Cosby, Melanie Griffith, Salvador Dali, and Jodi Foster}

#4 - THE CONSERVATIVE - 4's are sensible and traditional. They like order and routine. They only act when they fully understand what they're expected to do. They like getting their hands dirty and working hard. They are attracted to the outdoors and feel an affinity with nature. They are prepared to wait and can be stubborn and persistent. They should learn to be more flexible and to be nice to themselves. {Famous 4's - Neil Diamond, Margaret Thatcher, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tina Turner, Paul Hogan, and Oprah Winfrey}

#5 - THE NONCONFORMIST - 5's are the explorers. Their natural curiosity, risk taking, and enthusiasm often land them in hot water. They need diversity, and don't like to be stuck in a rut. The whole world is their school and they see a learning possibility in every situation. The questions never stop. They are well advised to look before they take action and make sure they have all the facts before jumping to conclusions. {Famous 5's - Abraham Lincoln, Charlotte Bronte, Jessica Walter, Vincent Van Gogh, Bette Midler, Helen Keller and Mark Hail.}

#6 - THE ROMANTIC - 6's are idealistic and need to feel useful to be happy. A strong family connection is important to them. Their actions influence their decisions. They have a strong urge to take care of others and to help. They are very loyal and make great teachers. They like art or music. They make loyal friends who take the friendship seriously. 6's should learn to differentiate between what they can change and what they cannot. {Famous 6's - Albert Einstein, Jane Seymour, John Denver, Meryl Streep, Christopher Columbus, and Goldie Hawn}

#7 - THE INTELLECTUAL - 7's are the searchers. Always probing for hidden information, they find it difficult to accept things at face value. Emotions don't sway their decisions. Questioning everything in life, they don't like to be questioned themselves. They're never off to a fast start, and their motto is 'slow and steady wins the race'. They come across as philosophers and being very knowledgeable, and sometimes as loners. They are technically inclined and make great researchers uncovering information. They like secrets. They live in their own world and should learn what is acceptable and what is not in the world at large. {Famous 7's - William Shakespeare, Lucille Ball, Michael Jackson, Joan Baez, Princess Diana, and Vince Ricciardi}

#8 - THE BIG SHOT - 8's are the problem solvers. They are professional, blunt, and to the point, have good judgment and are decisive. They have grand plans and like to live the good life. They take charge of people. They view people objectively. They should learn to base their decisions on their own needs rather than on what others want. {Famous 8's - Edgar Cayce, Barbra Streisand, George Harrison, Jane Fonda, Pablo Picasso, Aretha Franklin, and Nostradamus.}

#9 - THE PERFORMER - 9's are natural entertainers. They are very caring and generous, giving away their last dollar to help. With their charm, they have no problem making friends and nobody is a stranger to them. They have so many different personalities that people around them have a hard time understanding them. They are like chameleons, ever changing and blending in. They have tremendous luck, but also can suffer from extremes in fortune and mood. To be successful, they need to build a loving foundation. {Famous 9s - Albert Schweitzer, Shirley MacLaine, Harrison Ford, Jimmy Carter, and Elvis Presley}

--- 7 is my birth number so im from The Intellectual who always searches for hidden answers... hehehe...
