Boom, boom, boom

 

Boom rara

Less than a week na lang and my three sisters will be here na. Officially nasa panic mode na ako. Not only because mapapagastos ako ng malaki, but also because of one big reason.

Ang gulo ng bahay!

Most of the stuff na dala ko pa from Pinas ay nakasimangot na sa sofa. They’re calling me, ‘Uy, ilagay mo naman kami sa tamang lugar, pwede?’.

Then yung sahig nakasimangot na rin. Kelan daw ba sya mava-vacuum.

Yung mga damit, nakatambak na lang rin. Di naman ako makakilos ng matino dahil ubod ng lamig dito. Feeling ko nga minsan yelo na yung lumalabas sa gripo. As if feel ko maglaba or maghugas ng pinggan using ice cubes, noh?!

Hay. Too many things to do, but so little time to do them.

The truth is, mas masarap kasi mag-surf kesa maglinis ng bahay.

Imagine what a piece of paper can do to you.

It can boost your morale. It can make you more marketable. It can change your name. It can give you land.  It can give you a new life.

In my case, that piece of paper can only buy me a few extra meals each month.

Well, it’s better to have a little something than to have nothing at all.

I’m grateful na rin kahit pano. I’ll eat those extra meals na lang and fight to live another year. And hopefully get another piece of paper that can boost my morale, give me land, and ultimately give me a new life.

 

Boom tarat

It was just an ordinary Sunday – gising ako ng tanghali, sakay ng bus going to Central, tingin-tingin ng konti sa IFC Mall, pick-up ng kopya ng HK Mag at The List sa Flow Bookstore, at lakad-lakad sa kahabaan ng Des Voeux Road for some window shopping.

Kakagaling ko lang sa shop ng Bossini when I heard a group of people singing a familiar tune.

Boom tarat tarat! Boom tarat tarat! Tararat, tararat, boom, boom, boom!

Aba, aba, aba. Isip ko higher level na ito ng kajologan at kelangan ko mag-usi. So there I went, tawid sa kabilang street. At mega usisa sa kumpulan ng mga tao.

Ayun naman pala, yung isang cellphone shop naisipang magpa-program sa ating mga kababayan!

Konting kanta, konting kendeng, neng, premyo agad!

In fairness, hitik sa prizes! I almost got tempted na sumali at kumanta ng Boom Tarat sexy version sa harap ng madla just to get a prize. Buti na lang naisip ko na half of me ay fabulous pa rin at di dapat mag-join sa ganyan.

Besides, di pa ako ready magpa-videocam at maging next Hong Kong idol.

Sooner than later

I’ve always considered myself adventurous, but not daring and resolute.

Most of the time I couldn’t even decide. And whenever I do, it just takes a minute for me to change my mind.

I always feel that there is something that’s holding me back – something that’s keeping me from making bold decisions.

Recently I’ve made ONE BIG decision and now I’m not that sure anymore if I still want it – or if I can still handle it.

A part of me says I can. But that would involve a lot of sacrifices, hard work and massive challenges (OK, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit here now, but the part about sacrifices is undeniably true).

Another part says I’d rather that sacrifices be made sooner than later. I’d rather that I suffer now and be ecstatic later, rather than be merry today and end up feeling like crap soon.

Wish me luck.

Good news

My electricity bill for December is zero HKD.

I’m now officially a tito. Welcome baby Michael Andre!

Five out of my nine wishes for 2006 came true.

Another wish will come true next month.

Missing items

Today’s incident at the airport taught me one valuable lesson: Never leave my luggage unlocked.

All I can do now is wait for the airport staff to call and ask me to claim my luggage strap, my three-year old prescription eyeglasses, and my newly bought bottle of baby oil.
