Mga ilang katanungan...

Fellow bloggers...

• Madalas kong makita ang salitang WOOT. Ano ba ang ibig sabihin niyan?
• Sino kaya sa inyo ang mahilig magbasa nung mga Tagalog pocketbooks? May nakabasa na kaya nung kuwento nina Alison na ang sumulat ay nagtatago sa pangalang Arielle?
• Naaalala niyo pa ba iyong Koreanovela na Irene? May re-runs pala iyon sa QTV11. Napanood ko iyong isang episode kagabi. Pasado alas dose na natapos. Sa tuwing naririnig ko iyong theme song nun, naaalala ko ang mommy ko. Naadik kasi siya diyan sa Irene dati.
• Pro or anti-piracy ba kayo?
• Ano sa tingin niyo ang pinakawalang kuwentang commercial na inyong napanood o narinig?

Karambola

iI was able to rest the whole weekend. Yey! I read a book (Velocity by Dean Koontz) and watched an array of TV shows.

I normally tune in to ABS-CBN starting around six in the evening (when I'm home, that is). Last Saturday, I was able to watch XXX of Karen Davila, Julius Babao and Henry Omaga-Diaz. A segment shown was about an old lady who for five months lived in a waiting area near Commonwealth Public School. It was sad. Sad because she's already 75 years old and alone. Old people deserve better treatment from all of us. It was also frustrating. Frustrating because how come we don't have an alternative solution for people like her? How could the government and PGMA release a 1B peso fund to fight corruption when they can use that fund to help Filipinos who deserve better from life?? Do they really think they can wipe out corruption when the very people implementing it practices corruption as well?? Why not allocate funds to build better home for the aged? Yes, there's Golden Acres. But it's poorly funded. The government can allocate a million peso to make it a much better place for the elderly.

Sidenote: I have this overwhelming feeling that social workers who work for the likes of Golden Acres are mostly people who are not cut out for such institutions. If not, how come most of them wants to go out instead of stay? Like that old lady. She was taken to Golden Acres twice and she opted to roam the streets of Manila than to stay with the institution. I'm not saying that ALL of them are like that. But let's admit it, most of the social workers are masungit and matapang. I think that there should be spot checks done so we would know if there are abusive workers. And pay handsomely those who are truly good ones.

I have a suggestion to PGMA... if she really wants to give a better life to us Filipinos, why not instead of allocating funds to fight corruption, allocate funds to fight poor health, illiteracy, poor living conditions of juvenile delinquents, elderly people and street palaboy? That will truly make the government funds so much more useful to everyone!

P.S. I had a very good post that I accidentally deleted. So this was the recovered and edited version :-(

On a happier note...

Watch My Girl tonight. It's bound to be a nakakakilig episode! He he he

After watching last night... Sobrang nakakakilig!!! Nahuli ni Julian na wala na iyong mga gifts nila kay Jasmine. Si Papa ni Jasmine kasi! Naiyak tuloy si Jasmine kasi hinusgahan na siya agad gayong di pa siya nakakapagpaliwanag. Sinabi nung mala-model na sekretarya ni Julian na nakulong ang papa ni Jasmine at siya ang nagpiyansa. Na-guilty si papa Julian! Takbo puntang pier kasi iyong Papa ni Jasmine, sumakay ng barko. Niyakap siya ni Julian! *kilig* Ayun, ayaw ng umuwi ni Jasmine sa bahay nina Julian. Naglasing pa siya. Ang cute ni Nico kasi martyr ang drama! Love niya si Jasmine e. Kaso knows niya na si Julian ang itinitibok ng puso ng lola mo kaya ayun, nagpaubaya. Eto na ang super kilig na parte ng episode kagabi. Lasing ang lola mo at sinundo ni Julian. Nung sinakay na niya sa kotse, biglang umungol ang babae... Julian... ang sinabi! Aaiiieeee!!!!

Pinoy Meets World has a potential to be a really great travel/reality show. Paolo Bediones and Miriam Quiambao have chemistry and it shows that they are truly comfortable with one another. Nagdya-jibe personalities nila!

It's always a nice experience watching travel shows because admittedly, I cannot afford to travel at this point in time. Watching a travel show like this one makes me feel like I'm traveling with the hosts.

I've been TAGGED by janpol! :D

Need to write down 6 weird things about myself. Hmm...

1. I can't sleep without a blanket over my legs. Even if it's blazing hot, I still need my blankie :p
2. I need to wash dishes so I can think clearly.
3. I talk to myself most of the time. I even chastise myself when needed, hehe. Sometimes, without meaning to, I say things to myself out loud.
4. I love the smell of freshly-cut grass and the musty smell of old books.
5. When I listen to DZRH in the morning, feeling ko may bagyo. Yay!
6. I feel as if someone's standing in front of me when I soap my face. Or someone standing behind me when I'm taking a bath. Or someone's looking at me above the cubicle door when I'm peeing! Ay!

So there goes some of the weird stuff in me. There are so many more kaya lang six lang daw kaya there you go.

Lastly, I'm selling some of my books. Need some cash kasi. I have a link at my sidebar. You can check out the pics and prices here as well.

Talusirang kaibigan

Bakit ganon, may mga taong alam na ngang nagigipit ka, mas lalo ka pang ginigipit?? Para ka na ngang pinitpit na luya, hala, sige, tuloy naman sila sa pagpiga sa'yo! Minsan kung iisipin mo, iyong mga taong akala mo nandiyan lang sa tabi mo sa hirap at ginhawa, sila pa pala iyong sisipa sa iyo habang nakalugmok ka na sa lupa. Iniisip ko nga, ginawa ko na ba ito sa kapuwa ko at nararanasan ko ito ngayon? Karma ba ito sa pagiging mataray ko noong ako'y nasa eskuwela pa lamang? Pero hindi naman ako nang-aapi. Hindi naman ako nagpapaiyak ng kaklase. Nagbago na nga ako pagdating ng college. 360-degree turn, ika nga. Bilang boss naman sa mga naging staff ko, maipagmamalaki kong naging mabait ako. Kaibigan ko pa hanggang ngayon lahat ng mga dati kong staff. Sabi niya pera raw ang tinitignan ko sa pakikipagkaibigan. Kilala ba niya talaga ako?? Ni hindi nga ako mayaman, ano naman ang karapatan kong husgahan ang iba sa pamamagitan ng laman ng kanilang bulsa?! Dahil lang sa maling akala at hindi maaming pagkakamali, nagbago na. Hindi niya alam, napakarami kong kaibigang katulad ko lamang na simple ang buhay.

Itinuring ko siyang kapatid sa opisina. Iyong halos dalawang taon na pagkakakilala ko sa kanya'y mali pala. Overnight, naging impakta na siya!

Isip. Hikbi. Hinga nang malalim.

Alam ko namang pagsubok pa rin ito ng nasa Itaas. Pero nakakasama ng loob. Nakakalungkot isipin na mali pala ako ng pagpili ng mga ginawang kaibigan. Or siguro, sila iyong mga kaibigang dumaan sa buhay mo for a reason lang.

Pero kahit na, masakit pa rin.

Halu-halo

Don't you just love that new Close-up commercial where the girl is auditioning and she's making a racket in front of three judges, not knowing Sam Milby's at the back, watching?

Love it!

Especially the song... what's the title of that song nga?

I am now going to a gym to shed excess fat. And boy do I have tons of it! Don't you just hate it when you realize you've been living this lie and denying the fact that you're getting un-healthier day after day?? I vowed to myself that I will start owning my weight. I will start helping myself get healthy (by exercising and cutting on those junk foods and rice). And start getting a life!

I became an office junkie for years and years. When friends invite me to go out, I will say yes but when the time comes for us to go, I stay in the office instead. Pathetic 'no?! So now, getting my life back is a must!

I really love that Koreanovela My Girl!!! Jasmine's fallen for Julian already. She can't afford it because she's pretending to be his long-lost cousin and he's got a girlfriend. Plus the fact that she's just a poor girl while Julian's an heir to a hotel company. The episode tonight is hysterical with a tinge of sadness in it. Jasmine's solution to her growing feelings for Julian is avoidance. She does her best to avoid Julian. One time, she's having dinner with her "grandpa" when the helper announces that Julian arrived already. What she did was stuff her mouth with food and immediately ascends the stairs. Julian sees her and wonders why she's in a hurry. Another time, she pretended to be asleep when he came in. There was also a time she pretended she hasn't seen his car coming.

Julian's beginning to get bothered by these. He cannot concentrate on his dates with his girlfriend because all he can think about is Jasmine. He decided to talk to her once and for all. She said that it's better that they treat each other as business partners and nothing else.

Pero na-hurt si Jasmine. Ganun din si Julian. Hay...

My Girl is being aired at ABS-CBN Channel 2 after Sa Piling Mo.

Blog home

Home sweet home.

I have numerously changed blog homes. I have previously created and maintained a really good one in bravenet but an unfortunate incident stemmed from that blog. Hence, I deleted it. I mistakenly personalized it to the point that several people, without looking at my profile, knew upfront that it was me. Thus, this new blog.

I will unleash a new me in this one. The real me. The feisty girl that I have suppressed for so long. Though, of course, no one will see any difference since you don't have any point of comparison. I will try my best not to reveal the real me. It's for the best, anyway.

I just want to be known here as Sasha.

For those of you who for some reason can still identify who I am, please just don't mention my real name. I would really appreciate it if you will help me keep my true identity.
