Ok..

Parang kailan lang....

kainuman ko kayo
katambayan ko kayo
kayosi ko kayo
kalaro ko kayo ng billiards
kakwentuhan ko kayo
kalaro ng pusoy dos with ipit and poker
kasama ko kayo

Hanggang ngayon di ako makapaniwalang nandito nako ulit. 1 month lang ako dyan, pero ang saya. Parang nabura ung 10months na stay ko dito nun. Bawing bawi. Madalas na ako di makatulog, tinatamaan nanaman ng lungkot. Bigla ko lang naaalala yung 1 month na stay ko dyan. Ang dating, parang kahapon lang, kasama ko kayo. Ewan. Di nga naman pwedeng puro sarap. Pinapantay lang siguro lahat, puro sarap ako dati, ngayon ako kelangan maghirap.
Nagstart na ang Fall semester, 1 pa lang ang subj ko, bio, meeting once every 2 weeks kasi online class cya. Ok naman, 2 ung kaklase kong maganda. Yung isa kamukha ni posh spice. Wala pa ginagawa, everynight, naghahanap ako ng gagawin, laging nasa bilyaran, kahit wala na pera, kahit wala na mayaya, para lang malibang. Pero paguwi, parusa nanaman, pahirapan sa pagtulog.

Si maki pala nakausap ko, nandito na nga daw. Plano namin magkita kita nila pong. swerte cya madaming pinoy dun sa area nila. Kita ko nga mga pics nya, mukhang masaya nga cya dun.
Kmusta nman kayo jan? email na lng kau kng minsan,or khit txt. Ok na ulit ung globe roaming ko, dating number p din. Libre naman kng may unlimitxt kau. Ingat ingat na lang mga tol. Happy bday sa mga sept celebrants! pang inom nyo na lang ako. padala nyo na lang dito handa nyo. cge, update update na lang.

You Are a Peacemaker Soul

You strive to please others and compromise anyway you can.
War or conflict bothers you, and you would do anything to keep the peace.
You are a good mediator and a true negotiator.
Sometimes you do too much, trying so hard to make people happy.

While you keep the peace, you tend to be secretly judgmental.
You lose respect for people who don't like to both give and take.
On the flip side, you've got a graet sense of humor and wit.
You're always dimplomatic and able to give good advice.

Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul, Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul
What Kind of Soul Are You?

Sideburns and the City


Hmm, ok, so Im over the "hating brooklyn" part. Now it's time to appreciate all the good stuff New York has to offer. I only have about a month here so I might as well enjoy every second of my stay here.

The PEOPLE:
When you say New York, what's the first thing that comes to you mind? White people and black people, right? That's not the case. White people are only 35% of the population here, black people, about the same. There are the italians, mexicans, chinese, russians, koreans, japanese, south americans, dominicans, you name it. All sorts of people, meaning, all sorts of food!

The PLACES:
New York is a very big city, there are lots of places to see, and one day or one week is simply not enough. Going on Budget tours is not advisable either, unless you want to tour the city on a bus, stopping 5 minutes on a tourist spot so you could get a quick flash.

The LIFE:
Well, it's a city, so it's given that people here are always in a hurry, they want to have everything done as quickly as possible, and they're tough.


Things that I really like here:
One of the things I like here is their "walang pakialamanan" rule. You can do anything you want, as long as it is legal, and they wont give a damn. (Im sorry to compare, but I have to) Not like in the Phils, where you cant wear "baduy" outfits, if you take pictures at the mall, you get that "first time ka sa mall?" look. and also, WALANG TSISMIS!!! Nakakapagod na ang mga taong mapag-mata.

The people here are very much intact with their identities, (again sorry to compare) not like in the phils, where people are "sunod sa uso." Maybe it's the media's fault, the gaya gaya system sa pinas, coz they know people would patronize their show coz it's something they see on cable tv. I think that shouldnt be the case, we have our own culture, we have our own traditions, stick with it.

Walk around manhattan, and you'd see all sorts of people, the preppy ones, the cocky over confident guys, the puerto rican thugs, the hot ramp models (woohoo nyaman), the bbw (the fat people or the so called "obese"....not), crazy people, the suburban people, the professionals, the rockers, the punks, the gothic chicks, the conceited but hot girls (!!!), the nerds... basically, what you see in the movies, it's almost the same in real life.

Also:
-Mall is not a place for hanging out
-Eating at a restaurant alone is completely fine
-People would open doors for you
-Asking strangers for yosi is normal
-Always say "thanks" or whatever
-Ipod is a part of life
-celphones are nothing but landlines here


What else? wala nako maisip..hehe..

Pera nga naman o.. tangina. (take time to read)

Ok, so nandito na ako sa new york, with my parents. Nagstart na ako ng school last monday. Ive been staying here for 2 weeks na.

Ilang gabi na akong isip ng isip, na di talaga makatulog. Nagiisip, ano ba ang makukuha ng pagmove dito sa new york? Eto ang ilan:

-magandang future? (it's up to us pa din)
-madaming trabaho? (patay naman sa tax)
-madaming pera? (pareho lang tayo jan sa pinas. wag magcconvert dahil dollars din ang gasots.)
........ano pa? that's it, right? wala na..

Ano naman ang kapalit ng 3 bagay na un (bagay na tungkol lahat sa pera):
Eto po....

*Psychological effect, depression
-Nagka family crisis kami dahil depressed kaming lahat..
-awang awa ako kila caloy. Buhay nila papasok sa skul, na walang kaibigan, pag break nasa library nakikinig ng ipod, uuwi, matutulog, kakain, gigising, papasok, uuwi... Tanginang yan, bata pa sila, di nila kelangan pagdaanan to, dapat masaya silang may barkada, dahil pagtanda na nila, wala na un...

*Stress sa lahat, living here in the slums of new york (brooklyn), it's really stressful.. And the way people live here, puro work, walang pahinga. And people here in new york are tough. They're always in a hurry.

*Pinagkakitaan kami nung agency ni daddy ko, and may contract cyang 3yrs na halos kalahati lang ang sweldo, and nung nagdemanda kami, pinerahan lang kami ng lawyer, dahil wala naman kami kalaban laban tlaga, tapos nagbayad pa ng $1,000 (each) para sa lawyer na walang ginawa.

*And lastly, though di ko siguro pwde sabihin into details, pero something happened to kim (bunsong kapatid ko) today. She was harassed. Nothing really big, but still, harassed.

So eto ang tanong ko ngayon: Eto ba yung sinasabing magandang kinabukasan? Ano pa ba kulang? Isa samin mabaril (believe me, it's 100% possible here sa brooklyn)?

Eto ba ang katapat ng pera?!

i just want to go home.

update: mukang matatagalan pa stay ko dito. 60-90 days daw ang pagprocess nung application ko for my student visa. And ok lang daw na magstay pa ako kahit hanggang march 24 na lang ang tourist visa ko, since may pending application ako. Hay.

Ive just moved in with my uncle. Things have been pretty rough for me. Mahirap nakikisama. Im hearing bad things, yung mga taong pinagstay ko dati, they're telling all sorts of things. To think, lahat ng pwedeng gawin kong pakikisama, ginawa ko na. hindi ako kumakain pag day off ko kasi nakakahiya. i heard they were complaining that im messy. omg. d ko daw hinuhugasan yung mga pinag inuman kong baso. i was like, wtf! baso?! puro disposable ginagamit ko para wala na hinuhugasan. They're one big crazy family. yung kapatid ni tito ko, he's a basement junky. mahilig magyabang na wala naman laman ang utak. Ako daw ang makalat. walangya, ni hindi man nya maayos sarili nyang kwarto. he's 38yrs old, and yet he's still living with his mom! now call me the messy, irresponsible one. He's one big piece of garbage. i'd be happy seeing him die in front of me. that's how pissed i am right now.

im quitting my work this coming monday, feb 28. then im moving back to brooklyn with my family. Pagod na akong nakikisama. Pagod na din ako sa work.

Nagkasakit ako nung weekend, i didnt go to work for 2 days, so i had time to think and be with myself. sort things out. i thought it'd make me feel better. But no, it made things worse. Im worrying too much about things. Im getting really home sick. This is tormenting. I know i should be glad that im here, i have all the opportunities, yeah, i know that, but money has never been something that could make me happy. Or maybe hindi ko lang pinagdaanan yung hirap dati. Nevertheless, im still home sick. Ive been longing for the sense of belongingness. Onga, kumita nako ng pera, nakaipon na, nakabili na ng mga gusto ko, pero hindi pa rin mapapantayan yung feeling na nasa lugar ka na you can be yourself, you can laugh your lungs out, you have the sense of security and belongingness. i dont need money, i dont need material things. i dont care kung mahirap ang buhay. life is not all about money, or material things.
