Most of the people nowadays are living just for themselves, working very hard to be promoted, and of course to have a better salary right? We usually work, work and work, but in the end its just like chasing the air..and we always forgot the most basic and important thing in our life, the Kingdom of God.

"From now on I always keep in mind"

"Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these [other] things will be added to you"

Matthew 6-33

Folktales

Well here in the Philippines specially in the provinces you will heard about different stories, myths, legends, and other unusual things, (examples: mananagals, kapre, dwende etc.) that everyone can stop and say: eto nga! onli in d Philippines!:) Ever heard the stories of Maria Makiling, Bernardo Carpio or Malakas at si Maganda?? I think you heard or seen about this stories, from your lolo's and lola's, or maybe just reading comic book somewhere in National Bookstore, while standing and waiting for your bf or gf..right??! hehehehe!

Most of us heard this stories i guess, but not in a complete detail, and most of this stories that we heard of are edited trough generations, sad but true. For me, we are now living under the influence western culture. Most of the kids today did not know about our alamats, and the stories we inherit through our ancestors. It is totally forgotten (ika nga nila sa tagalog.. naitago na sa baol ng panahon)

But on the bright side here I am, trying to do nationalistic act to free somehow, the generation of today (specially you reading my blog) against the influence of Peter Pan and Captain Hook or Frodo Baggins hehehehehe.. and promote our alamats, and folklore by writing this blog:)

Ever been into bohol?? were you can find the beautiful chocolate hills, the Tarsier and one the most beautiful but small island called Panglao, Balicasag and Pamilacan. Well if im going to choose were should i spend my summer vacation Boracay or Bohol??? i definitely choose Bohol..were i could relax and chill! not like in Boracay..were all you can do is bar hopping, drinking hehehehe...

Did you know that Bohol has its Myth?? well this is southern version of Maria Makiling..enjoy!

Origin of Bohol

As told by an old woman who lived just below the forest of Verde, Duero, Bohol. She was known as Oyang Pinanda, meaning Great Grandma Penanda.

The people were living beyond the sky. One day, the chief's only daughter got sick. The medicine man of the barangay said: "The cure is in the roots of this wild Balete tree. Dig around it and let her arms touch the root".

They dug around the root and they placed the sick girl on the trench, when suddenly, the woman fell through the hole in the sky. Below the sky was a big water. Two gakits(wild ducks) saw the woman fall. They caught her lightly on their backs where she rested. The gakits found Big Turtle. When Big Turtle saw the woman, he called a council of all swimming animals. They said: "We must save the woman and make her a home".

The leader commanded the frog: "Dive and bring up dirt from the tree roots." The frog tried and failed.
The mouse tried also and failed. Finally, the Big Toad volunteered: "I will try".

At this, all animals jeered and laugh except Big Turtle who said: "You do well to try. Perhaps you will be lucky".

The old Toad took a long breath and went down, down. At last, a bubble of air came up and the old Toad followed. In its mouth she carried a few grains of sand, which she spread around the edge of Big Turtle's shell. Then an island grew on Big Turtle's back, and it became Bohol island, and the woman lived upon it.

If anyone will examine carefully the shape of the turtle's back , he will find some similarity to the shape of the island of Bohol.

From Boholano Folklore by Maria Caseñas Pajo.

We Are The Champion!

The NBA finals are over..and the champion??? BOSTON CELTICS! the score was 131-92.
The BOSTON CELTICS crush the LA LAKERS with an advance 39 points leaving Hollywood stars like Jack Nicholson etc. very sad:( This NBA finals is one of Greatest Game in the NBA, coz the Celtics making their comeback in the finals.

After 22 long years, The NBA has gone green said said Tom Withers, AP sports writer.

And also the Celtics made history in Game 4 after beating Lakers in their home court with 24 points deficit in the first quarter. Before that game in Game 4, no other team in the NBA will win after having a 15 point deficit in first quarter. Well the Celtics did! whew!

Sadly I'm LA LAKERS fan:( since Magic Johnson's time. There was a time when i was in highschooll, when we play baskeball one of my friend asked me "why is it everytime you dribble the ball you moved backwards instead of forward?" I said "that was Magic's style of defense! hehe."

The 2008 NBA Finals are over and nothing can ever change that. But for us Lakers fans NEXT YEAR is OUR YEAR! don't ever ever FORGET THAT! hehehehe and in 2009 the NBA HAS GONE YELLOW! again BAM!

Storya (Part 3)

Torete..

Lumipas ang mga araw at mga linggo at eto parang kidlat na dumating sya sa buhay ko! Nakakakuryente, nakakagulat.. just imagine, ilang buwan lang nakakalipas eh nakatingin ako sa kanya na halos hindi alam ang gagawin ngayon kasama ko na sya halos araw araw! whew!

Pag kasama ko sya marami ang pwedeng mangyari..parang kang nasa isang adventure na hindi mo alam kung ano ang kahihinatnan nito. Siguro gusto ko lang talaga sya makasama lagi, kaya siguro ganito ang nasa isip ko ika nga ni Acel Bisa "Torete".

In love?? oo siguro nga.. hindi namn nararamdaman ito ng isang taong hindi in love dba??? pero maaring infatuated lang ako, maaring nmn hindi. sabagay ang hirap naman i describe ng infatuation sa true love, pag kinupara mo parang sa traydor at hindi traydor tama ba??:)

Kakaiba #1

Pero totoo nga na pag kasama ko sya marami ang pwedeng mangyari at halos lahat kakaibang pangyayari. Minsan pauwi na kami galing eskwelahan sumakay kami ng jeep na lagi naming sinasakyan at dahil sa may V. Luna lang sya umuwi iisa lang kami ng sinasakyan, Project 2&3 oo jeprox kami! hehehe:)

Kasama namin isa kong barkada ng mga panahon na iyon, at ng papaliko na ang jeep namin sa may Kamuning Rd...

BIGLANG! may isang truck ng softdrinks na papaliko rin doon, kami nasa kanan at sya nmn nasa kaliwa at sa sobrang bilis ng entrada nya habang papaliko, tumapon ang mga softdrinks na bibit ng kanyang trak nya! halos dalawang dipa lang ang layo saamin nung mga nagtapunang mga softdrinks. Halos maubos ang laman ng trak nya sa dami ng boteng nabasag sa gilid namin, sabagay wala namn laman ang mga bote nya pero kahit na! eh kung napalapit lapit yung jeep namin sa kanya puro bubog at sugat ang katawan namin..sa buhay ko dun lang ako muntikang makaexperience na maoospital dahil sa aksidente. haaay iba talaga

Kakaiba #2

Halos palagi na magkikita kami eh hindi pwedeng hindi manonood ng sine. Lahat ata ng sine ay napanood na nmin nung mga panahong yun. Minsan sa Gateway, Megamall, SM North, pero madalas sa Gateway.

Kaya gaya ng nasabi ko pag magkasama kami laging meroong kakaibang nangyayari..hindi ko alam kung bakit pero madala ay biglaan. Nasa Gateway kami nun napagtripan namin manood ng sine kaya ako bumili ng food at sya na raw bahala sa tickets, pero ayoko pumayag dahil syempre lalaki dba?? male ego mahirap ata panagumpayan yun, kaya sabi ko sa kanya "ako na lang lahat steady ka na lang ok?" pero sya ang babaeng hindi pumapayag ng gnun, na lalaki lang ang gagastos pag dating sa date para sa kanya dapat equal. So sinabi nya sya na raw ang bahalang bumili ng ticket at ako na bhala sa food so gnun nga ang nangyari at yun in the end wala ako nagawa kung hindi sumunod hehehehe:)

So after ko bumili ng food naghintay ako sa kanya na matapos sa pila sa tickets, naupo ako dun sa parang mataas na na silya at may mataas na table na parang sa bar. Napansin ko may isang lalaki ang tingin ng tingin sa kanya habang sya ay bumibili ng tickets, as in parang ako sa kanya noon at parang sya namn sakin noon. Sa bagay hindi naman masama ang tumingin dapende na lang sa pagtingin dba??? So lumapit na sya sakin pagkatapos nyang pumila at sinabi nya sakin "lets go!".

Eto na! cguro malapit na magsimula ang sine ng biglang pagdukot nya sa bulsa nya ay nawawala pala ang ticket. So ako naman sabi ko hawakan nya yung food ako na ang bahalang maghanap. Binigay ko sa kanya lahat ng dala ko tapos dali dali akong tumakbo para hanapin yung ticket. Sa katapus tapusan wala si ticket kaya bumalik na agad ako sa kanya na medyo mainit na ang ulo.

"sabi ko namn kasi ako na ang bibili eh.." sabi nya "eh bat mainit ulo mo?! kung ako sayo relax ka lang ok?!" kaya naman medyo mainit na ang ulo ko nun eh ngayon lang sakin nangyari yun naghahanap ng ticket sa gitna ng Gateway mall tapos magsisimula na yung movie. Iba talaga pag first time mo naranasan ang isang panyayari ibat ibang reaksyon..

Agad tinanong ko sya "so paano na yan wala yung ticket?" sabi nya "sige ako na ang bahala steady ka lang dyan". Lumapit sya dun sa tagapunit ng tickets pag papasok ka na sa sinehan, at may sinasabi sya na hindi ko naman marainig dahil medyo may kalayuan ako. Siguro mga 1 minute din syang nagsasalita sa harap ng guard at dun sa tagapunit ng ticket. At pagkatapos lumapit na sya sakin na nakangiti at sinabi "ok na hehehe" sabi ko "ano sinabi mo?" sabi nya "basta ok na.."

Pag lapit namin dun sa guard at tagapunit ng ticket tinatakan na kami sa braso ng pantatak..at sinabi nya pa "salamat ate!" sabay saludo ehehhehe. Ibang klase talaga pangyayaring ito siguro nadaan nya sa ningning ng kanyang mga mata at ganda ng mukha kaya kami both na pinapasok sa movie house..oh kaya sadyang kapanipaniwala ang mga sinabi nya kaya ganoon. Pero kung sa iba yun, mahihirapan makiusap dun tapos ang dahilan pa eh nawala yung ticket dba?? pero depende naman sa nakikiusap sa itsura siguro oh sa suot ewan.:) samadaling sabi nasimulan nmin yung movie heheheh!

Kakaiba #3

Minsan naman manonood ulit kami ng sine at sa mga panahong iyon ang trip naman ay sa Megamall. Ewan ko kung bakit namin napag diskitahan sa megamall manood basta dun na lang namin napag tripan. At eto pa wala pa sa plano ko manood ng sine ng mga oras na yun bigla na lang sya nagtxt sakin na libre nya raw ako. At ako naman dahil sa kagustuhang kong makita sya, pumayag na rin ako kahit na ang mangyayari eh last full show ang palabas.

So sya daw ang pupunta sa bahay at kikitain nya ako, sinabi ko naman ikaw ang bahala ikaw ang may gusto eh..

Sa madaling sabi nasa megamall kami ng mga 8 at nakapanood namn kami ng sine. Nang nasa loob na kami ng sinehan, naupo kami s bandang middle part sa taas. Eh usually ugali namin pareho na itaas yun mga paa namin sa silya habang nanonood ng sine. May isang mama na akala mo sa upuan nya itinataas namin yung feet at ang sama makatingin..gusto ko na sanang kausapin yung lalaki at bkit para syang mangangain ng tao kung makatingin. Pero pinigilan ko lang sarili ko at magkagulo sa movie house..haaaaaaay!

Ang Payaso

Ang Payaso

by Joshua

Sa mundo ng entablado narito ang Payaso.

Sa mundo ng teatro narito ang Payaso.

Sa gitna ng kalungkutan nariyan ang Payaso.

Sa mundong magulo narito ang Payaso.

Nagbibigay saya sa mga bata.

Pati na rin sa mga isip bata.

Konting kembot konting tawa.

Ayan! lahat masaya.

Sirko dito, sirko doon

na parang walang kahapon.

tambling dito, tambling doon

Nagiging masaya ang pagtitipon.

Sa mundo ng entablado narito ang Payaso.

Sa mundo ng teatro narito ang Payaso.

Sa gitna ng kalungkutan nariyan ang Payaso.

Sa mundong magulo narito ang Payaso.

Kitang kita ang saya sa mata,

na parang walang problema.

Wala rin bakas ng kalungkutan,

sa kanyang mukha.

Makulay ang mga damit,

kahit medyo mainit.

Makulay ang suot,

kahit na nagmumukhang engot.

Sa mundo ng entablado narito ang Payaso.

Sa mundo ng teatro narito ang Payaso.

Sa gitna ng kalunkutan nariyan ang Payaso.

Sa mundong magulo narito ang Payaso.

Marami ang nagsasabi

dyan sa tabi tabi

na bakas pa rin,

ang ngiti sa kanyang mga labi.

Ngunit minsan isang araw,

ang makeup ng Payaso ay

unti unting nalusaw.

Ang mundoy naging mapanglaw.

ang lahat ay hindi na matanaw.

Ang saya ay unti unting pumapalahaw.

Marami ang may akala,

na ang Payaso ay walang problema.

Pero problema nya pala,

kung paano ilalabas ang kanyang problema.

Sa mundo ng entablado narito ang Payaso.

Sa mundo ng teatro narito ang Payaso.

Sa gitna ng kalunkutan nariyan ang Payaso.

Sa mundong magulo narito ang Payaso.

Storya (Part 2)

Impossible

May mga pangyayari sa buhay na mahirap paniwalaan. Maaring hindi ka makapaniwala dahil sa sobrang ganda, o kaya naman dahil sa sobrang saklap ng pangyayari kaya ka hindi makapaniwala. IMPOSSIBLE ika nga. Totoo sa realidad mahirap maabot ang pinapangarap natin..naicp ko na paano maabot ang isang matayog na bituin na tulad nya??? nakakalungkot kung minsan sa sobrang hirap maabot ang iba sa atin nawawalan na ng pag aasa.

whew! ang buhay nga naman...

Pero sa kabila ng mga naiicp ko noon na Impossibleng makilala at makausap ang taong pinapangarap ko..Tila yata unti unting nababaligtad ang mga sitwasyon. Nagkakausap na kami sa telepono at minsan nagkakatxt, cguro may katagalan na rin na kami na nagkakaroon ng communication bago sya pumayag na mkipagkita sa akin.. sa sobrang ganda ng mga pangyayari sa buhay ko halos hindi talaga ako makapaniwala...Impossible nga talaga! hindi ko alam kung maniniwala ako sa tadhana, pero sa mga pangyayaring ito parang gusto ko maniwala..

Wer u?:p

Boy: "Hi musta?? Wer u po?"

Girl: "ok lang nmn dto po sa school kaw wer u?"

Boy: "ah ok akala ko nasa haus ka na.. dto lang po me sa haus hmm wat time uwian u?

Girl: "hmm mayang 5..y po?

Boy: "ah wla lang col sana kita eh"

Girl: "ah ok sure pag uwi ko ill txt u na lang:p"

-end:)

Nagtagpo rin..

Isang araw naicpan ko syang itxt, sa hindi malamang dahilan tinanong ko kung ok lang minsan coffee kami. Maraming akong naicp na pwedeng sabihin sakin ng mga panahon na yun pwedeng.."ay may lakad ako ngayon sorry" oh kaya "coffee?? ay hindi pwede ako sa coffee may nerbyos ako eh" maraming pwedeng dahilan ika nga nila kung gusto may paraan kung ayaw maraming dahilan.:)

Pero sa isang banda ng storyang ito kailangan magtagpo ang bida..dapat lang hindi ba? heheh.. Dumating ang sabado sa isang kapehan sa Tomas Morato 5:30 ang meeting. Nandun cguro ako ng mga sakto 5:30. Inabot na ako ng 6:00 ng hapon pero hindi ko pa rin nakikita kahit anino nya, AH PILIPINO NGA PALA TAYO! BAKIT ANG AGA KO DITO???? yan na lang ang nasabi ko ng mga oras na yun.

Medyo naiinip na rin cguro ako, kaya dumaan ako sa isang bilyaran na usually ng tinatambayan namin na malapit din sa coffee shop, actually tatawid ka nga lang kalye yun na. Sumilip ako sa loob at wala rin nakitang tao, kaya balik ulit sa coffee shop para sa isang bagay MAGHINTAY.

Cguro mga nkadalawang raspberry juice na ako cmula nung dumating ako sa coffee shop, Biglang may kumalabit sa likod ko pag lingon ko barkada ko.."ano ginagawa mo dto?" sabi ko "wala may hinihintay lang" parang nkakahalata na ata barkada ko..nasabi nya na lang "kaya ka pala hindi sumama samin".:)

Sinabi nya cge dun lang kami sa bilyaran sumunod ka na lang andun cla kat and fiona..sabi ok cge. 6:15 na wala pa rin ako nkikita ni anino nya haay..So sumunod na lang ako sa kanila, and pagkatapos nun nagkayayaan uminom sa bhay. Naisip ko na lang bka hindi na sya talaga tumuloy dahil sa sobrang tagal na:(. So mga 8 na at kasalukuyang nagpapakasaya kasama ang pulang kabayo, BIGLANG! BRRRRRRRRRR! nag vibrate ang cell phone ko. Binuksan ko nakita ko nag msg sya, sabi "andito na po ako sa starbucks..sorry talaga late ako may gnawa pa kasi ako eh" so binulong ko sa barkada ko "andun na raw sya alis muna ako balik ako". So nagpaalam na ako sa kanila nasabi ko na lang sa kanila "oi alis muna ako may susunduin lang heheheh" ok cge balik ka ah sabi nila.

Pagdating ko sa Starbucks dalidali ko syang hinanap, sa baba??? wala.. umakyat ako sa taas at dun nkita ko sya na nakaupo at ang kanyang mapungay na mata. haaay! lahat ng inis, hirap, at pagod ko nung araw na iyon sa paghihintay sa kanya naglahong parang bula ewan! Iba sa pakiramdam..hirap i describe kakaiba talaga. basta Masaya tapos!:)

Bigla ko naisip na nag hihintay mga barkada ko tutal sya namn ang late so naisip ko na isama ko na lang sya dun..tama ba?? sabagay eto first meeting namin pero parang matagal na rin kami magkakilala ewan sobrang nagji2ve kaagad ng kwentuhan nmin, kaya sa tingin ko ok lang naman sa kanya yun. Like me mahilig rin sya sa music..EMO pa nga! (pero ako solid PUNK ang genre paborito ko hehe) sobrang nkakarelate ako sa mga kwentuhan namin..Bass player sya and Guitar player ako so kulang na lang drummer hehehe banda na.. sa madaling sabi sumama sya sakin ng gabing yun at naipakilala ko agad sa mga barkada ko. Nasabi na lang sakin ng kaibigan ko na "dati tinitingnan mo lang sya ngayon kasama mo na tsk! iba ka!". Pero para sakin tamang pagkakataon lang ang pangyayari:)

Ang Sweet Naman:)

Maraming masasayang pangyayari ang nangyayari sa buhay ko nang mga panahong iyon, ika nga ni pareng Rico "panahon na naman ng pagibig". May mga pagkakataon na nakikitawag sya sa canteen para lang tawagan ako sa bhay! Sobra sweet nya..sa tagalog malambing..haaay hehehe:)

Minsan namn duty ako nun mga 2 to 10 ang duty hours ko, pag patak ng 4 o'clock may kumatok sa NICU(Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) pumunta yung isang nurse sa pintuan at tinanong kung cno sya. Biglang! Josh may naghahanap sayo.. hindi ko alam kung cno yun kaagadagad lumapit ako sa kanya pagkita ko.. SYA NGA! may dalang food para sa akin.

Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko ng mga sandaling iyon. Konting kwentuhan lang sa labas ang nagawa namin at sinabi ko sakanya wait lang sya sa KFC na malapit sa school at dahil sabay kami umuwi. At dahil duty nga ako kailangan pumasok agad sa loob, usisa nmn sa akin ng mga ka group ko "cno yun??" sagot ko "_______" .

At dahil sa mga ganyang pangyayari hindi nila maiwasan magtanong ng magtanong, kaya yung isang ka group mate ko na lalaki kinulit ako."Cno ba yun pare??" ako naman napuno na rin sa kakakulit niya kaya sabi ko "Special Friend ko" sabi nya "Asan na sya??" sabi ko "Sa KFC" at dahil kita ang KFC sa bintana sinilip nya doon, sabi nya "Asan Sya??" tnuro ko at pagkita nya ang nasabi nya na lang "AYOS".

Old Rivals

Since the Begining of 1980's baskeball began to develop into a higher level. The players became more athletic than before compare it to 1950's and 60's style of playing. Everythings has changed except the basketball jersey that they are wearing, remember the short shorts hehehe..and Highrise socks wow! with matching Old school Converse basketball shoes!! OLD SCHOOL ROCKS!

But like the old saying says "every generation has its legend" so..that generation of basketball rise the name Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. If its NBA Finals back in the 80's then Its Larry Bird's Boston Celtics and Magic Johnson's LA Lakers! But history repeats itself, now its 2008 and the old rivals of basketball meet again in The Finals, this time Its Kobe Bryant's LA Lakers and Kevin Garnet Boston Celtic.

Old rivals never dies and there can only be one champion..who's gonna win?? LA or Boston??
what do you think????

Choc-Nut

America has its Reese's Pieces, Europe has its Kinder Schokolade. The Philippines well... hehehe has its one and only Choc-Nut! where you can find it in Sari Sari store, Grocery's etc. Its not a special sweet like I mentioned before..but it sells like a box office hits tickets! one of the best selling pinoy chocolates for years.

You know your a Filipino if you are craving for this small chocolate wrapped in a tiny foil ( palara in tagalog) with a stripped red white recycled paper. Its one of my favorite local chocolate, the best! I remember when I was 8 yrs of age, i can empty one pack of Choc-Nut in one seating! hehehe that is when i was a kid..

This tiny chocolate was made with mixed roasted peanuts, cane sugar, milk powder, cocoa powder, and artificial flavoring. As its covers says KING, for me it has a meaning.. it means King of all Filipino chocolates. hehehe

If you go to abroad specially in the United States and find a Filipino store you will find a Choc-Nut and I WILL ASSURE THAT! hehehhee..Every Balikbayans I know want to buy a dozen or two of this delicious chocolate, this cheap delights costs about 25 pesos (half a dollar) per pack.

Most of us Filipinos grew up with this tiny delight, whether your a Fil-AM or FBI (full blooded Ilocano) hehehe..
If you are a Filipino you know why we still eat this old school mouth watering chocolate hehehe;)

Linda Linda Linda

This story was very basic that you will love it!Its all about four students whos trying to get their new vocalist after the old one leave them a week before the school performance. It is all about friendship and hardships of having a band.

The funny thing is that their only choice of vocalist is a Korean exchange student who's having very hard time learning Japanese language..whew!

Their Genre?? PUNK ROCK just like ours! hehehhehe..

The Song?? Their covering the a Blue Hearts song, an 80's punk rock band in Japan and one of the pioneer of Japanese punk.

Well for me?? i can relate to this movie, coz like them i have a band also, i can see the hardships and trials of having a band, to have a last minute practice! whew thats tough..hehehehe

all i can say in this movie?? Simple but ROCK!;)
