Nakakalungkot. Nung nakita ko kung kailan pa ang huling post ko sa sarili kong mundo, nalulungkot ako. Parang itong isang ito.

———————————————————————–

He tried his best. But no one noticed.
He stayed calm, even though the situation is so irritating.

He only wants to be somewhere close, to be somebody’s company.
But it seems like he doesn’t fit.

In fact, he allow them to make him look STUPID.
Yes, I have seen him cry, hear him weep, afar from the crowd.
Far from the eyes of the people who keeps on belittling his ability.

He’s also a man. Vulnerable to the words that those people speak of him.
He tried to be strong, but those words…looks like those hurting words damage his system.

He kept on asking ‘why?’ but there’s no answer.

I pity him. But that’s not what I think he needs now.

He needs a friend. Someone who can appreciate his simple talents and help him hasten his craft.

Someone who will laugh with him of how bullshit he was, but give advice afterwards.

Someone who will not treat him as a man, but a person who also commit mistakes.

Someone who will accept him, no matter how stupid he become.

Well in fact, we have our own faults and stupidity.

We all, have undergone and still undergoing through what this ‘man’ that I am talking about is experiencing at this moment.

And I hope, after we have experienced this, we all become that ’someone’ who will help that ‘man’ to stand up despite every fall.

One last day…

Looks like the weather weeps with me (or with Madam Cory?) I dunno.

It’s my last day at the office and I tried to be happy for them to bounce back the positive energy. And I can feel from them that they will truly miss a person like me. (who am I BTW? Harhar)

I received a SpongeBob stuffed toy from one of my closest friends on our team. I was kinda overwhelmed than sad, because I feel the love, plus the effort. I really appreciate that.

My first KFC snackbox, and strawberry banana krushers, a goodbye treat from one of my ‘ate’s’ at the office. I almost took a picture of it. So even though I didn’t keep the box of it, I can still keep the memories of it to be treasured and remembered.

I really don’t want moments like these—goodbyes.

I will really miss them all. The laughter, the tears, the struggle, and even the most stressful moments that we’ve encountered in the office. The never ending talks and chats, and our rebuts and comments from the so-so persons in the office (well, I think that’s a natural scenario). The different styles that we invent just to steal a nap, how we escape from tiring tasks and requests, duh, I will really miss those parts.

Well. All will grow, change and must move on. So do I. I will really miss you comrades!

As for now, goodbye seems to be the hardest word. But I’m still here. Alive and kicking. I just transferred, but I still persists.

Too much lives taken this 2009

Whew. Another lost. Goodbye First women President of the Philippines, Pres. Corazon C. Aquino.

As we can still remember, at the start of 2009, we were stunned by what happened to Marky Cielo, at the last month of 2008, welcoming the year of 2009.

Gone too soon, we’ve lost a great artist and a trailblazer in the Philippine Rap Community, in the person of Master Rapper, Francis Magalona.

Then, the whole world mourns with the shocking and abrupt death of the King of Pop, the legendary Michael Jackson. And also one of the Charlie’s Angels, resting just hours before Macko Wacko passed away.

After that, a great pillar in the showbiz industry also died an unexpected death, just like what the King of Pop suffered from—heart attack, goodbye to Sir Douglas Quijano.

And now, after a year of battling from the traitor disease, she finally threw the white flag and now peacefully rests with the presence of Our Creator. Let’s pray for the repose of the soul of our dear Women President, Corazon Cojuangco Aquino.

I don’t wanna ask who will be next. All I can do is pray and hope for the recovery of those who survived by their lost.

At sinasabi ko sa iyo, ‘yung pantao lang!’

Buti na lang hindi nakikita yung nginig sa text nitong tinatayp ko ngayon. Dahil kung nagsusulat ako,malamang nanginginig pati letters ko.

Anlamig dito sa quadrant namin.

Kinausap ko na si kuyang guard, ang may authority sa pagpapalakas at pagpapahina ng aircon, tungkol sa kalagayan naming dito.

‘Kuya, ‘yung level lamig na pantao lang, hindi kami polar bear.’

Naintindihan niya naman ang ibig kong iparating. Kaya medyo nakapagtrabaho kami ng walang jacket at hindi nanginginig sa loob ng dalawang gabi.

Ngunit…

Tila may memory gap ata si kuya. Nanginginig na naman kasi kami eh. Hindi ko alam kung mukha ba kaming polar bear sa paningin niya. Na may makakapal na balahibo at kayang mag-withstand (WOW!) sa matinding lamig. Haizt…sana naman kuya…sana naman…hinaan mo na ang aircon…!!! Yung pantao lang…!!! grrrrr…..

Gusto mo ‘yooooooooon?!!!

Gusto ko ‘yon!

Grabe. I am in the state of shock.

Actually expected ko na ‘yun. Thanks po talaga kay ate Janisse naging sikat ako for one night. Hekhek…grabe…! I was deeply overwhelmed…!!

As I was listening to True Love Conversations, it suddenly then turned to Wild Confessions. At the start of the program, I was stunned hearing my name…!! As in, grabe…! Natuwa lahat ng nakikinig dito sa office namen…!

Mayflor de Guzman…siguro naman hindi na niyan magsisisi si Nanay na ibinigay niya sa akin yung pangalan na ‘yan (refer to my post, tungkol sa may akda ) naisiwalat sa buong Metro Manila ang maganda kong pangalan. Whew! Nay, you can now have my autograph…\m/

Labyu, labyu Papa Jack…!!! Masyado na po ba akong assuming kung pangarapin kong makita kita? (background music: Pangarap ka na lang ba, o magiging katotohanan pa?)

Papa Jack, isa kang alamat na kahit paulit-ulit kong basahin ay hinding-hindi ko pagsasawaan. Para kang isang litrong Samurai na nagbibigay kulay at buhay sa nakakaboring kong gabi. Oo, Papa Jack, hayaan mong i-touch kita…gusto mo ‘yooooooon?!! Gusto ko ‘yooooooon!!!!!

Whew. Nga pala malapit na ang araw ng aking pagsilang. Isa itong magandang panimula. Imbitado kayong lahat huh…? August 12, huntingin nio po ako, bandang Caloocan, lapit sa boundary ng Malabon, nyak, nyak. Iyon eh kung makita niyo ako…harhar…

Papa Jack, more power to you, your station, and to your program. Ate Janisse, thank you po talaga. Ansaya-saya ko. As in.

Ok na ba? Ok na ‘no? Babay na ba? Babay na ‘no? Babay na siguro ‘no? Hindi pa Papa Jack, magkikita pa tayo…!!! \m/

Madali niyo naman kaming makilala…

Kung may buhay ng gangsta, may buhay din na dapat ikuwento ang mga empleyado sa lumalaking mundo ng BPO (business process outsourcing po yun…)

Marami na tayong nabasang kahalintulad nito na naikalat na rin ng mga kadugo nating blogista sa industriya. Pero sana hayaan niyo akong magkaroon ng sarili kong bersiyon tutal kabilang naman tayo sa demokratikong bansa.

Makikilala natin ang mga kapuso nating nagtratrabaho sa call center sa pamamagitan ng ilang mga tanda. Kung may mga nais pa po kayong idagdag, bukas po ang aking panig sa mga kuro-kuro at pala-palagay. Nakana…tagalog…!!

• May asin, ketchup, at asukal ka ng Joliibee at McDo sa post mo.
• Isa ka sa mga unang nakanood ng popular na Careless Whisper video.

• May sarili kang folder ng movies at MP4 sa PC mo.
• Di lang miminsan kang nakatulog sa pantry.

Haizt, madami pa sanang iba. Pero antok na antok na talaga ako. Matutulog lang ako sa ilalim ng post ko. \m/

Gloc 9’s Upuan

Kayo po na naka upo
Subukan nyo namang tumayo
At baka matanaw
At baka matanaw ninyo
Ang tunay na kalagayan ko

Tao po nandyan po ba kayo sa loob ng
Malaking bahay at malawak na bakuran
Mataas na pader pinapaligiran
At naka pilang mga mamahaling sasakyan
Mga bantay na laging bulong ng bulong
Wala namang kasal pero marami ang naka barong
Lumakas man ang ulan ay walang butas ang bubong
Mga plato’t kutsara na hindi kilala ang tutong
Ang kanin ay sing puti ng gatas na nasa kahon
At kahit na hindi pasko sa lamesa ay may hamon
Ang sarap sigurong manirahan sa bahay na ganyan
Sabi pa nila ay dito mo rin matatagpuan
Ang tao na nagmamay ari ng isang upuan
Na pag may pagkakataoy pinag aagawan
Kaya naman hindi nya pinakakawalan
Kung makikita ko lamang sya ay aking sisigawan ng

Kayo po na naka upo
Subukan nyo namang tumayo
At baka matanaw
At baka matanaw ninyo
Ang tunay na kalagayan ko

Mawalang galang na po sa taong nakaupo
Alam nyo bang pantakal ng bigas namin ay di puno
Ang dingding ng bahay namin ay pinagtagpi tagping yero
Sa gabi ay sobrang init na tumutunaw ng yelo
Na di kayang bilhin upang ilagay sa inumin
Pinakulong tubig sa lumang takureng uling uling
Gamit ang panggatong na inanod lamang sa estero
Na nagsisilbing kusina sa umagay aming banyo
Ang aking inay na may kayamanang isang kaldero
Na nagagamit lang pag ang aking ama ay sumweldo
Pero kulang na kulang parin ulam na toyo’t asin
Ang singkwenta pesos sa maghapoy pagkakasyahin
Di ko alam kung talagang maramingharang
O mataas lang ang bakod o nagbubulag bulagan
Lamang po kayo kahit sa dami ng pera nyo
Walang doktor na makapagpapalinaw ng mata nyo
Kaya

Huwag kang masyadong halata
Bato bato sa langit
Ang tamaay huwag magalit
Bato bato bato sa langit
Ang tamaan ay
Huwag masyadong halata
Huwag kang masyadong halata

—-> So phenomenal!!!

Haizt…totoo naman diba? Sa bansang toh, kung hindi ka mayamang-mayaman, mahirap na mahirap ka naman. Patuloy nating inihahabla at tinutugis ang mga mahihirap na napipilitang magnakaw para lamang may mailaman sa kumakalam na sikmura. Ngunit sinasamba naman natin ang mga big-time na magnanakaw sa ating lipunan. Tsk, tsk. Kaasar.

Gloc9, Isa kang makabagong Rizal. Tulad ni Bob Ong na gumagamit ng ibang paraan para maipahayag ang nararamdaman, ang kalagayan ng bawat Pilipino, mayaman man o mahirap.

Masakit man isipin, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, na tila wala ng pag-asa ang bansang ito. Hindi pa man isinisilang ang magiging anak mo, baon na siya sa utang ng Pilipinas.

Undecided…

And I said, “I want to be alone.”

It seems like the weather weeps with me tonight.

There’s a risky situation that I am about to take. And I’m still undecided about it. I was about to seek advice from the people that I know could be of great help to me.

And know what’s hurting to say at this moment? I can’t feel their presence.

It’s hard to admit, and I’m not into counting, but when they need a helping hand, they always have mine.

But why do when the time comes that I raise my hand to surrender, no one dares to save me?

Duh, I’m hopeless…

So I say to them, “I want to be alone.”

Im falling in love…

With a girl…

Hahaha…Would you believe it? I can’t believe it myself!

I don’t think that I will be feeling this way again. The last time I experienced this kind of emotion is when I was in my College days. Yeah. I experienced this before.

I remember it was Abby, a friend of my classmate in College that I really admired most. She was so pretty and modest. I always suffer from heart attack everytime she visits her friends at our room. And I can’t hide that feeling from my friends because they notice that I am blushing everytime Abby’s around.

Haha. Are you thinking I’m some kind of a lesbian? Damn, no! I am 100% sure about my personality.

Sad truth, Abby got pregnant from her boyfriend before we both graduated. And it is noticeable enough when she’s wearing their uniform (she’s a nursing student while I belong to the Mass Comm herd). But despite of that catastrophe in her life, she remained beautiful and she even become a model of our college graduation pictures!

Nah, I missed her. Really. Til I met this girl from our office.

She’s a newbie. I’m a year senior to her. At first, I didn’t notice her beauty because she looks arrogant when you look at her. Then I chanced upon her at the elevator. I don’t think if fate brings us there. It’s just the two of us. She broke the silence when she asked me this silly question:

“Ate, may tinda bang napkin sa 7th?”

I answered her diligently, “Oo ata, kaya lang per pack ata dun, walang retail.”

Then she replied, “Ay ganun? Ok lang.”

Then we parted ways.

And until now, I am always waiting for her to pass by our department, since our department is near the hallway which everyone passes through. And I am confident that I will see her, everyday.
