First stop for this year were the provinces of Albay and Sorsogon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
This trip isn't my first time in the Bicol region. My dad is from Daet, Camarines Norte (though only he speaks Bicolano) and we went there when I was five (or seven).<br />
<br />
The decision to go to Albay was quite funny/childish and interesting. The primary reason was because of Daniel and Kathryn's movie, <i>She's Dating the Gangster</i>. Prior to watching the film, KathNiel wasn't even on my radar, however the film happened and now I am a fan. If ever you haven't watched the movie yet, about half of the movie (more or less) was shot in Albay. After seeing the almost CG-like beauty of Mt. Mayon through the film, my friend and i decided that we would go there. Aside from that, I pride myself at being a Philippine history lover (a product of being a history contestant all throughout my school days), and you all know how historic the Bicol region is.<br />
<br />
It was in August when we booked tickets through Cebu Pac's Piso fare and at that time, Albay would've been my first out of town trip* with friends (using my own hard earned money).<br />
<br />
Our trip (with my three officemates) happened last Jan. 23-25 and it was a DIY one. The thing is, I think I'm that person who is 'obsessed' with planning trips and the like. Probably because at the back of my mind, I was focused on starting my own travel blog, lol. There's this joy in organizing an itinerary and seeing it come to fruition although lots of stress could fall on you while doing so.<br />
<br />
For this trip, I will be providing you with details about our Bicol adventure (itinerary, expenses, tips, etc) because I have first hand experience on how hard it was to plan and budget the trip and I would love to help everyone who is experiencing the same dilemma.<br />

<br />
Before proceeding with the specifics, can I just say how I fell in love with Albay? Although we weren't able to experience all that Albay has to offer, I really enjoyed our stay there. Seeing Mt. Mayon in all its glory was memorable. One can't help but fall in love with her, she's truly breath-taking (hey, now that i think about it, that line perfectly fits Athena's famoso line, prolly the reason why they chose Albay). I loved our Sorsogon side-trip too :)<br />

<br />
The climax of my <i>CNBlue in Manila</i> blog series.<br />
The "funny" thing was, I brought my digicam with me but I never took a single picture all throughout the concert. As I've told my friends, it's as if my heart and soul left me (they said that if they knew I would be that "behaved", they would have given me the cam to record the concert, lol)! The pictures that will be used in this post came from my friends' cameras.<br />

</ul>
<br />
Prior to securing the tickets, Yshel and I were wishing that we would be seated on Jonghyun's side. When Ate Monette got the tickets, it turned out we were placed on Jung Shin's:<br />

<br />
<br />
We would have gotten the SVIP ones if we had called Marco Polo earlier but during the concert itself, we discovered that if we did, we would not be able to see CNBlue up close.<br />
<br />
Us being close to Shin's side was a blessing in disguise. Most of the audience seated in our area were contented with staying at their place but my friends and I decided to stand behind the railings to fully maximize our viewing/concert experience:<br />

Standing for the entirety of the concert was so worth it. Imagine us standing "front-side" row with our glow in the dark banner(s), it would surely catch the eyes of the boys, and oh boy did they frequently look our way (more on that later)<br />

<li><b>CNBLUE EXPERIENCE</b></li>

<br />
I have heard from a lot of people that if you're a fan of CNBlue, you should see them live at least once in your lifetime (your fangirling life will not be complete without it)<br />
<br />

<br />
My thoughts? Hell to the yeah! CNBLUE has the total package. They were so enigmatic on stage that even the Filipino staffs closest to our side (which I'm 100% sure aren't into KPOP) couldn't take their eyes off of the stage (and they were all guys). They would even stoop their necks when the boys would take a break from performing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>OBSERVATIONS DURING THE CONCERT</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
The thing that did not escape my notice about CNBlue during their Manila concert was how much they enjoyed performing for the crowd. Even if the arena were half full (I'm pretty positive they knew many fans were not able to make it because of the floods and the storm ) they still gave it their best.<br />
<br />
Although frankly it didn't start that way. When they first came out of the stage, I felt like they were performing just for the sake of performing. They were there playing their instruments and singing their song but I did not feel any excitement (I knew Yong Hwa was tired so I understood where they were coming from). It was only Jung Shin who showed signs of playfulness early on. I was starting to doubt those people who told me that CNBlue's concerts were always a blast.<br />
<br />
HOWEVER, at least two songs after, there was a shift in the overall mood of the concert. Suddenly, Yong Hwa was getting his groove back. It was from that point on were I can tell that the boys were honestly and truly enjoying the moment. It was really nice knowing that the Filipino crowd brought out the best from the boys. You could see in their aura how much they enjoyed performing out there.<br />
<br />

<br />
<i>Observations of the boys:</i><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I loved it when Yong Hwa did those "dancing" (and when he's acting cocky with his muscles! haha) and sound thingie</li>
<li>Yong Hwa looked tired at the beginning but a few minutes after, it's as if we were seeing a refreshed version of him. I truly appreciate that he always gives his 100% for the fans :)</li>
<li>Jung Shin was hyper all the time!</li>
<li>Min Hyuk was the most fluent in Filipino</li>
<li>Jong Hyun was having the time of his life. You could see it in his eyes, his smiles, and in his moves. Though he was far away from us, he would have these moments where he would strike a pose for the fans. How I wish we were close enough to capture it</li>
<li>Jong Hyun was all over the place! My friend remarked that seldom it was that he did that (from the concerts of them that I've seen he, aside from Min Hyuk, was always stationary!) He even played with the drums! </li>
<li>I was so glad that I was able to witness Jong Hyun being <i>makulit. </i>I love it when he becomes childish. I loved it when he was acting like it was his birthday (because he was in front of Jung Shin's cake).</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li><b>HIGHLIGHTS AND FAVORITE PARTS</b></li>
</ul>
Everything? Lol<br />
<br />
The first thing that I would remember if someone asked me what I remember from my very first CNBlue concert is how good they are live.<br />
<br />
If I were to specify it, I was in awe of how amazing Yong Hwa's voice is. I knew that he could reach those high notes but I have never heard him live nor have I heard him singing high notes all throughout a concert. Out of all the members that night, it was Yong Hwa who caught my attention. His vocals has definitely improved! I've been into rock songs/bands for a while and it's quite usual for lead vocalists to damage their vocal cords (think Jon) but the way Yong Hwa was belting those notes was unbelievable. It was effortless and I knew he could do it all night long. I swear my eardrums were damaged after the concert.<br />

<br />
I'll be frank in saying that from the setlist played/sang during their Can't Stop Manila tour, only a few of my favorite songs were included. It is rather unfortunate that most of my favorite songs were in Japanese (or where released a few years back). The good thing was, even if that was the case, I thoroughly enjoyed every song played. Imagine more if most of my faves were played? I was looking forward to them singing Rain of Blessing (it is my favorite CNBLUE song) but I was a bit saddened that they didn't sing it (I was hoping they would because it was included in the setlist of their other Can't Stop Tour - that's according to the internet). BUUUUUUUUUT, from that heartache, a new favorite song was found.<br />
<br />
My most favorite performance of the night was <i>My Miracle </i>(pardon my friends' fangirling):<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="253" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/7aojaWddrLk" width="450"></iframe>
</div>
<i><br /></i>
<i>Daaaaaammmmn</i>. This song touched me deeply. The boys' performance was so raw and emotional that I could not help but stare at them with my mouth wide open (I am exaggerating). I was eargasming just by his voice alone. It was this performance that did it for me. I <i>was</i> a Jong Hyun fan but hearing Yong singing this song solidified my love for him (okay I think I'm still torn between the two, haha).<br />
<br />
I have also heard some unfamiliar songs during the concert (yeah I know I s*ck as a fan) which I instantly loved. Greedy Man and Let Me Know captured my interest and it's such a pity that they have become my LSS days after the concert finished (I could have sung along with CNBlue then). Anyway there's still next year :)<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>THANK YOU BANNER</b></li>
</ul>
Aside from seeing them perform live, one of the things that made their concert memorable for me was how they kept looking at our banner. I ain't kidding. Even if they were looking at our "banner", it felt like I was also being looked at (haha, dream on girl).<br />
<br />

<br />
It was Jung Shin who first noticed our banner (because he was the closest). He would always look our way (we were lucky because we were in the "front" and that there weren't many people on our side).<br />
<br />
Yong Hwa also noticed it! And I would always observe his expression everytime he did so.<br />
<br />
There was even this time when the boys were talking about what they will sing next and suddenly YongHwa and JungShin's attention were drawn to our other banner:<br />

<br />
I am pretty positive that the scene that ensued was like this:<br />
Jung Shin and Yong Hwa were looking intently at our banner (I think they weren't the focus of the people since Min Hyuk was speaking at that point) and while holding their mics, they were trying to understand what was written. Both of them can be heard murmuring: "<i>P-L-S sing</i>", they played with the words at least two times (it's understandable because I doubt if Koreans abbreviate please) when the meaning of our banner sink in. When they realized what we were asking about, they both laughed softly (while shaking their head a little) and I heard Jung Shin telling Yonghwa about something (I have a limited Korean knowledge but the word sounded like "eonje/where? - probably where/at what point to sing it" or something in the line of, "here, now?". But from my understanding of their talk, I knew that it would not be possible but no hurt feelings at least they read what we wrote! :) [I will try to find a fancam of that moment so as to prove my point, it was before their Cold Love performance]<br />

<br />
Yshel and I were frequently interchanging our banner but whenever Jong Hyun came to our side, I would tell her to show the Starlit banner one because it was <i>Jong Hyun's</i> <b>song</b> (and it was the song that made me love CNBlue). There were times when Jong Hyun would glimpse at our side but I could tell that he was not able to read it. However, there was this one time when he finally saw and read our banner (with the song request). He stared at it for at most five seconds? ANDDDD ohmo, my knees almost literally gave out. It was a few seconds of contact but it meant the world for me and Yshel. I think Ate Monette captured that moment on her cam and I would post it as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
Overall, despite the things that we went through and the comments from the people around us reminding us of "wasting" money on such things, I would not trade anything from the experience that we had that night. It was one of the best moments of my life :) I am so glad that for once in my life, I gave in to spontaneity. Look at where it brought me, I was able to fulfill one of my dreams.<br />

Yshel and I were talking yesterday and we came to the realization that one dream was ticked off of our list (watching CNBlue live). Our next target will be a trip to Korea next year and hopefully we could catch a glimpse of the boys :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05375017975443924044noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221831546743368076.post-13857868786642418122014-09-21T20:04:00.000+08:002014-09-21T20:04:15.031+08:00CNBlue in Manila: Braving the Storm and the Marco Polo experience (p2)Continuing on from my first post about getting our hands on the tickets, I will then detail the "hardships" that we encountered on our way to the concert.<br />
<br />
Thursday night, our main problem was what words/phrases should we put on our banner, little did we know that that was the least of our concern.<br />
<br />
<i>p.s. Pardon me for the grammatical errors, will try to edit it soon</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>FIGHTING MARIO</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Thursday night, it was all over the news that Mario will make its presence known in the country. Metro Manila will not be along the typhoon's path but the storm would intensify the monsoon which will then bring <i>intense</i> rain in the Metro. I wasn't much bothered by it thinking that even if it rains, we could still go to the concert.<br />
<br />
However, at around 3am (D-Day), the rain outside woke me up and I was terrified because at the back of mind, I knew that if the rain continued on, it would cause us problems later on. I was not able to go back to sleep and just went straight to work.<br />
<br />
Prior to the concert, Yshel and I asked our superiors that we would leave the office at 2pm (Ate Monette took a leave and would supposedly meet us at the hotel).<br />
<br />
Hours before we leave, news about the floods in most part of Manila and nearby places reached our ears. I was intently praying for the rain to stop. When the clock struck 12, I was doubtful on whether I should go on or not. I really really wanted to go to Araneta but I was afraid of the flood. My mom has called me asking me if I would push through and I told her that I would think about it.<br />
<br />
There was even a time that I was hoping for the organizers to cancel the concert but thankfully they didn't.<br />
<br />
At one, I asked Yshel whether we should go or not, she told me that it was up to me and Lizette. Honestly, I am very thankful to Yshel, if not for her, I would have backed out. Anyway, it was Yshel who always told me to think positive and to not think of the worst. When we were about to leave, I called my mom and told her that I would still go, from her voice alone, I knew that if I was in the house and I told her that I would go, she would not allow me, but since I'm at the office, she can't stop me! lol.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>BRAVING THE STORM</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
An hour before we left, the red rainfall warning was issued in Manila and Cavite (where we live/work). That didn't hamper us, however the first major problem that we encountered was the lack of buses. It took us 30 minutes (?) to finally ride one (the rain and wind were unbelievable) and when we reached Baclaran, we walked a little and luckily an Ortigas-bound bus came along.<br />
<br />
We were originally opting to ride the MRT but the jeepneys were scarce and if there was one, it was full (we were all carrying heavy backpacks and paperbags).<br />
<br />
Ate Monette kept updating us about road conditions going to Ortigas (where our hotel was located) and the only time that we encountered the flood was before we reached Ayala:<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After that, it was a bit smooth-sailing for us (except for the occasional traffic). The bus dropped us off at SM Megamall and from there we waited for a taxi that would take us to Marco Polo. The ride to Marco Polo took us 5 minutes? The wait for the cab took as an hour but we were still grateful that we were a short distance away from our destination. What seemed impossible in the beginning was made possible by our faith and determination. The funny thing was, Lizette told us that the storm was like a test for us. It was testing us of our loyalty to the boys.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Frankly, I'm not into KPOP anymore. Prior to CNBlue, there were only three KPOP groups that I liked: DBSK, Super Junior, and Shinhwa.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was so gaga over Super Junior a few years back and when I got to know Shinhwa, I never looked back (I still like SuJu but not that much anymore). Shinhwa is my number one group but when I got to know CNBlue, they were a close second. I ain't comparing them because they are different in so many ways but suffice it to say that I love them equally (I have loved Shinhwa for a few years now so you know how attached I can be). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When SuJu went to the Philippines for the first time, I was devastated that I could not go because I was a student and I would never ask my parents for such extravagance but now that I am making my own, spending big on CNBlue just felt right.</div>

Upon arriving, we were greeted by ladies in dresses, men in suits and foreigners! It was really a shame. How we wish that we could have fixed ourselves but given the things that we went through, we were happy just to arrive safely at the hotel.</div>

Ate Monette was not able to meet us at the hotel since she left home rather late. She lived in Rizal and if we thought that our travel to Ortigas was hard, she had it harder. She left home at around 5:30 pm and she was forced to tread on waist-deep water just to go to Araneta (she jokingly told us that she can't afford to not go because she had all our tickets! haha, but we were so thankful to her). </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The thing is, Ate Monette told us that if we wanted the chance to see CNBlue in the hotel, we should book a day before the concert (since CNBlue has a tendency to head straight to the airport after every concert) but we told her that it was more practical to book it the night of the concert since it will be stressful to commute home late in the night.</div>

Also, I thought that CNBlue would at least stay the night after the concert (to rest) and given the weather condition that day (with flights getting cancelled), they would probably wait until the skies clear. However, after the concert, we got the heartbreaking news that they went straight to the airport :( We were really speechless at that point :( Heartbroken is a more appropriate term. I then remember when we were about to enter the elevator, I saw some of the Korean staffs at the concert going out (they were probably going to the airport). Anyway, what was done was done and we could not do anything about it so we just decided to have a CNBlue marathon at our room (plus it didn't hurt that as we were about to go to the elevator, there was this nice lady who gave us CNBlue freebies!). </div>

</ul>
Lol. Before proceeding with my CNBlue in Manila experience, I will <b>bore</b> you with the lengthy details of how I got into the CNB fandom.<br />
<br />
Kidding. Not.<br />
<br />
Basically, I have heard about the band ever since I saw Yong Hwa in <i>You're Beautiful</i>. I never did research on the band, all I knew was that they were under the same label as FT Island (I was into FTI for a bit a long time ago).<br />

<br />
Come January last year, one of my officemate, Yshel (a full-pledged Boice), was playing <i>Eclipse</i> and I asked her what song that was. I think that marked my interest in the band. However, it was in the beginning of April (or late March) where I started honestly liking them. I have to thank the song Starlit Night for that (and Jong Hyun's otherwordly beauty).<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>GETTING THE TICKETS</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Come August, it came to my notice that CNBlue would come to the Philippines, Yshel was urging me to go with her, however, I was a bit hesitant because the cheapest ticket was a bit pricy and I told her that if I were to watch a concert, it was either the cheapest or the most expensive one. My thriftiness got the better of me, I told her that I won't watch and I'll come with her next year.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to September, Yshel told me that she has already bought a ticket to the concert (the cheapest one). I asked her where will she stay after the concert and she said that she would stay with Ate Monette (another officemate of mine). From that point on, I was seriously considering going with her <i>just because</i>. My will to buy a ticket strengthened when I talked to Ate Monette (she was also considering buying a ticket). I think it was last Tuesday (Sept. 16) when my <i>kakuriputan</i> has won over me and I told them that I would not go (for real).<br />
<br />
Two days before the concert (Sept. 17), Ate Monette same time'd me with this photo:<br />

Pandemonium (lol) erupted in our office. Suddenly, I was seriously contemplating on availing Marco Polo's promo:</div>

* Watching a concert live in a VIP section is more than what I asked for.</div>
<br />
After thinking for ten minutes, I have agreed to "buy" a ticket (together with my officemates).<br />
<br />
When Ate Monette called Marco Polo, there were I think six more slots left? As it turned out, the first five callers got the SVIP tickets, and the rest were VIP Diamonds'. It was a little heartbreaking that we were a few calls short of getting the most expensive ticket BUT I tell you, <b>after watching the concert, I would not trade my VIP Diamond ticket to the SVIP one</b> (more on that on my succeeding posts).<br />
<br />
Thursday night, Ate Monette finally got hold of our tickets and we were closest to Jung Shin's side (Yshel and I were wishing that we got Jong's side but seriously, after the concert, I could not care more):<br />

<br />
I try to save at least 2,000 pesos per month but when I computed the money that I spend on my meds, the total amount shocked me.<br />
<br />
For almost two years now, I take two kinds of medicines daily, one to keep my cholesterol level low, the other one for my uric acid.<br />
<br />
Med for cholesterol = 12.5/day<br />
Med for uric acid = 9/day<br />
<br />
During the last three months, I take them daily but recently, my doctor told me to take them alternately, so if let's say I am to keep this up for one year, my total expense would be:<br />
<br />
Cholesterol = 12.5 x 15 = 187.5 (per month) ; 187.5 x 12 = <b>2,250</b><br />
Uric acid = 9 x15 = 135 (per month) ; 135 x 12 = <b>1620</b><br />
<br />
Combined medication for one year = 2,250 + 1620 = <b>P3870</b><br />
<br />
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!<br />
<br />
About half year ago (I think), I learned that my SGPT level is high, since then my doctor has prescribed a daily medicine for me. For two months, I was taking this liver supplement twice/day. The cost per day amounted to more or less P50.<br />
<br />
When I returned to have my SGPT level checked, it increased despite me taking the supplement and so my doctor prescribed a medicine called Ursofalk once a day.<br />
<br />
It has been a month since I took Ursofalk and when I had my SGPT level checked, it actually decreased significantly, I haven't come back to my doctor yet but let's presume that he still wants to continue my medication (though my SGPT decreased, it is still above the average level), here is how much I'll spend on Ursofalk for a year:<br />
<br />
Ursofalk = P67.75/day<br />
<br />
Ursofalk = 67.75 x 12 = 2032.5 ; 2032.5 x 12 = 24,390!<br />
<br />
Combining all my medications, the amount that I will be spending on medication for a year would be <b>28,260</b>!<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: orange;">P28,260</span> imagine that! I could buy the gadget of my dreams or I could travel overseas!<br />
So much for staying healthy, though my company provides us with a health card, the medicine alone could cripple me.<br />
Knowing this, I am really motivated to start to change my lifestyle. I don't eat a lot but I don't lose weight. The only solution that I could think of is to start exercising for real. My high SGPT is caused by my fatty liver (apparently it runs in the family) and one of my doctors suggested for me to exercise because it is the easiest way to decrease the d*mn thing.<br />
<br />
I will start to jog this coming week and I hope I could keep it up :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05375017975443924044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221831546743368076.post-19422558430975793772013-12-31T18:34:00.003+08:002013-12-31T18:34:54.756+08:002013 in a nutshell...Graduated college.<br />
<br />
First Job.<br />
<br />
Failed expectations.<br />
<br />
Wrong assumptions,<br />
<br />
Second Job.<br />
<br />
Quarterlife crisis.<br />
<br />
<br />
2013 was not that likeable for me but I am still thankful for all the blessings that my family and I have received. Even before 2013 came, I predicted that it would not be that nice for me (perhaps it was that thought that made it that way) but I have such high hopes for 2014...<br />
<br />
If there is one thing that I want for myself this 2014, it is for me to find "my" Clarity (in everything).<br />
<br />
I ain't getting any younger so one of my resolutions this year is to be wiser :)<br />
<br />
Happy new year everyone!<br />

I personally think that BD 1 & 2 are the best films out of the franchise.<br />
<br />
Breaking Dawn was so amazing I cried. I cried during the part in the meadow. The instant when I realized what Bella was doing and saw the realization hit Edward, the tears fell. It continued when the flashbacks were shown. My heart ached when all the casts from the first movie up to the last were shown (the opening credits was equally as beautiful). However, more than that, I cried because the Twilight series was such an important part of my life, my college life to be exact.<br />

<br />
The Twilight films were the only films that I have watched religiously in cinemas (not even Harry Potter sadly). Watching the films was the only time where me and my high school friends got to reunite. We would always look forward to November (ahhh the memories).<br />
<br />

<br />
I am so happy on how the movie series grew. I have to admit that I hated the cast (not a fan of Rob Pat) initially but what can I do? As I watched the series, they kinda grew on me.<br />
<br />
You know what's painful? The amount of haters the Twilight series have. And majority of these haters (I think) only came when the first movie came, when it became mainstream.<br />
<br />

I have read Twilight even before the movie, even before it became mainstream. According to a review I made on multiply, I finished it on March 5, 2008. Not a lot, okay let me rephrase that, not many Filipinos knew it back then, I would be surprised if even three hundred people were aware of it.<br />
<br />
I loved Twilight (the book). I remember reading it in a jeepney and smiling like crazy. I remember walking to my class holding the book and someone asking me the title of the book because the cover was amazing. I remember falling in love with Edward. Up to this date, that cafeteria meeting is still fresh on my mind.<br />
<br />
Twilight was the best book in the series, the next four books paled in comparison. The first book was just magical. And honestly, I think it is a pity that people got to read Twilight after the movie came, after Edward was immortalized as RobPat, in my opinion people would probably enjoy Twilight more if they were not yet influenced by the movie or by the amount of hate people were throwing at the books. These haters destroyed the books, it was really a pity :(<br />
<br />
Anyway, can I just say that I was more emotional watching Breaking Dawn part 2 than I did Harry Potter 7.5? Emotional = me crying. And I love so many characters! Emmett and Garett particularly! And Taylor Lautner *swoons*. I never did like Jacob in the books but Taylor made me appreciate Jacob more ;)<br />
<br />
That twist near the end is one of the best parts in the movie. I remember asking for exactly that scene (sans the deaths) when I was reading Breaking Dawn, it was a good thing Stephenie Meyer is a producer :)<br />
<br />
I feel like saying goodbye to Twilight is akin to me saying goodbye to my college life. I was introduced to the series my freshman year, and the last movie ended with me finally graduating in college :)<br />
<br />
Farewell Twilight~<br />

Or rather there is this inexplicable connection between one's self and his environment, the things that a person does are always connected (one way or another) with his immediate surroundings (I can't really get the point straight, please forgive me).<br />
<br />
Some call it coincidence but I discarded the idea of coincidences a long time ago. Let's just say that there is no coincidence, everything happens for a reason, there is this invisible thread connecting each and everyone of us (there I think that was my point above).<br />
<br />
Have you ever experienced encountering something (be it a thing, a name, a person, a word) more than once throughout the day? And by doing so, it was somehow embedded in your mind?<br />
<br />
Well my word was this: GUN<br />
<br />
<i>warning: this is pretty boring, haha. read at your own risk. and sorry for the grammatical errors, I typed it straight away, too lazy to proofread.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Case 1. <i>Guns N' Roses.</i></b><br />
<br />
Yesterday I watched Guns N' Roses' concert in Japan (1992). A thing about me, everytime I watch, read or listen to something, my mind goes into overdrive. A part of me is focused on what I am doing, but my brain is constantly thinking about other things. As I was watching, I thought about how Slash (GNR's ex-lead guitarist) mentioned that one reason why he left GNR was because Axl Rose wanted to claim the band's name as his own. So I did a quick run-through of GNR's background and learned that Axl Rose and Izzy formed GNR, and that their previous band's name was Hollywood Rose (or something to that effect). Apparently, GNR's name is inadvertently connected with Axl. So I did get the Rose part, but I was wondering where the Gun came from. I did not ponder on it that much because well you know how artists' minds go (they're pretty poetic, right?).<br />
<br />
<b>Case 2. <i>Bon Jovi</i></b><br />
<br />
Same day. Yesterday, I was listening to Bon Jovi's albums all-afternoon long. I've noticed how a few of their song titles had the name "gun" in them. I instantly remember one song that GNR performed in their concert, the one about Civil wars (?), I was beginning to think how these rock bands' songs included themes of violence, fighting and war. It was also amazing how close the time gap (both their songs were I think written between 1987-1992) between GNR and BJ's songs were (the songs about guns and wars). I started to wonder if that was a turbulent time (and props to the bands for singing about that period).<br />
<br />
<b>Case 3. <i>The Bronze Horseman.</i></b><br />
<br />
The Bronze Horseman is a book by Paullina Simons about two lovers caught in a war in Russia. You know wars right? They involve guns, death and the like. I was reading that book for over a week and I was able to finish it yesterday. In fact, I was listening to Bon Jovi as I was reading the last few chapters of the book and I thought, <i>how fitting is my song background</i>. I am reading about Germany and Russia's fighting while Bon Jovi is screaming guns over my earphones.<br />
<br />
Actually, even before Case 1 and Case 2 happened, I was a bit interested with guns because of TBH. Alexander (the protagonist) was a high-ranking official in the Red Army and everytime he mentioned the weapons that he used, I was imagining them (which prompted me to search for them yesterday)<br />
<br />
<b>Case 4. <i>When you think about something, the less chance you will dream about it.</i></b><br />
<br />
I am sure you notice how when you think about someone constantly (i.e. your crushes) and wish for that someone to invade our dreams, he never comes. I was thinking of how I might dream about wars (because no matter how much I tried to not think about it, it always plagued me) and how I don't want to dream about it. And so I sleep.<br />
<br />
BY NOW, if you are still reading this, I am telling you that it is not about me dreaming about guns, it would not bother me if that was the case because that would be easier to explain (and I would not give any meaning to it).<br />
<br />
<b>Case 5. <i>Gun shots</i>.</b><br />
<br />
I slept late yesterday. At about 3:40 am I was awakened by the sound of gunshots. What surprised me was how close it seemed, it was just outside our house (I'm pretty certain). My father said he heard seven shots (my memory remembered five). Five or seven, it did not matter. I heard <i>n</i> consecutive shots being fired above. After the last bullet was fired, I heard the recoiling of the gun (or the magazine? I don't know, am not knowledgeable about guns)! It was that close I tell you. The weird thing was, I was not scared.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I won't bore you with what happened next. My point is how weird was that? Me thinking about guns and gunshots being fired close by? Which leads me to my point above.<br />
<br />
I would like to think that our mind is indeed powerful. That there are still a lot of mysteries about our minds that science can never explain. It's a bit scary, more scary than hearing gun shots.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05375017975443924044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221831546743368076.post-88133789292754565832012-11-19T19:53:00.000+08:002012-11-19T19:59:50.395+08:00Rock stars? bring them on!<br />

Before the only rock band I knew of were Linkin Park, Guns n Roses and Bon Jovi. By knowing, it meant I know them through names only (and a few of their songs). Now, I know that Matchbox 20 is a rock band, as well as Queen! HAHAHA.</div>

Okay. If ever you have read a book about rock stars you will probably know that they are portrayed as: hot, gorgeous, players, talented, bad asses, covered with tats, into groupies, and the likes. From the limited pictures of rock stars that I saw, I can not even remember anyone who closely resembled any of the images projected in books (honestly all I can think of is Adam Levine and Maroon 5 is not that much of a hard rock band right?!). So I did a little digging of my own and well, well, well, I discovered some pretty hot rock stars! LOL</div>

There you have it! Honestly, I have not heard any song of most of the bands included here, I only included them primarily due to their looks and rock star appeal (though that is about to change since I am DL-ing some of these bands’ live tours).</div>

<br />
One of my cousins who has a third eye was narrating how she felt a presence in one of my aunt's room an hour or two back. She heard a <i>panaghoy (?), </i>followed by the passing of a shadow in the room. Thinking that it was my cousins playing a prank with her, she exited the room. However, as soon as she stepped out of the room, she heard two consecutive <i>panaghoy/ungol</i> and the passing of a shadow yet again. She tried to ask my tito outside if my cousins were already home but my tito told her no. Then it hit her, she (with here lil son who was sleeping) was the only one in the house at that time (since we were all in the cemetery), she suddenly had goosebumps and she instantly woke up her son and rush outside.<br />
<br />
Anyway, it was not her first time seeing/feeling these things and what happened was not the main point of this post.<br />
<br />
So my mom, bro and I went home. I sleep with my mom and last night, we did not feel sleepy yet so we talk (like for two hours). At around 1:30, we were still talking:<br />
<br />
Me: Hindi nga, hindi ka natatakot maupo dun sa likod bahay (ng tita ko)?<br />
Mom: Hindi, bakit ako matatakot? minsan nga magisa lang akong nakaupo dun ng umaga, pag mainit, pag hapon para magpahinga.<br />
Me: Weeeeeehhhhhh? Eh diba kinuwento mo nung bata ka pa, nakakakita ka ng bakang ginto na walang ulo tapos biglang....<br />
<br />
*BIGLANG DAHAN DAHAN BUMUKAS ANG PINTO (NAGCCREAK ANG PINTO NAMIN PAG BINUBUKSAN) SABAY DUNGAW NG ISANG NILALANG NA NAKAPUTI (WALA AKONG SALAMIN SO PUTI LANG NAGREGISTER SA ISIP KO)<br />
<br />
Me: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA<br />
Mom: AAAAAAAAAAH!<br />
<br />
(kung pwede lang yapusin nanay ko ginawa ko na)<br />
<br />
Brother: *Biglang pasok, upo sa kama, sabay tawa* Mga 'to<br />
<br />
Me: NYAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *dies laughing*<br />
Mom: Tong batang to, minsan makagulat eh!<br />
<br />
Me: (to mom) Akala ko ba hindi ka matatakutin?<br />
<br />
LOOOOOOOL. I would not forget this moment ever! HAHAHAHA<br />

<br />
I.Butterflying.Love.You Alex.Pettyfer.<br />
<br />
Caution: Severe Fan-girling post ahead.<br />
<br />
By <i>love, </i>I mean deeply inlove (is that even possible?). My mind's filled with thoughts of you that I need to blog all about my love for you.<br />
<br />
I don't care if everyone thinks you're a douchebag (that you have an attitude), as long as you make me happy with your acting, I can overlook that (we'll never even meet so that won't matter)!<br />
<br />
Why is it that everytime I read a book that I think can be movie-material, I always wish that it will be you playing the lead?<br />

1. <i>Christian Grey</i> (<b>50 Shades</b>) - Ok. Ok people. Fifty Shades may be overrated but when I caught sight of this pic, I instantly thought <i>Butterfly</i>, <i>he can be Fifty!</i> Though, of course I would not want him to have those sexy scenes (nuh-uh) and on second thought, I don't want all the girls fawning at him (as if they aren't now).<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
2. <i>TJ Callahan</i> (<b>On the Island</b>) - Now this one, I am fervently wishing to see (more than any other role). I think Alex can pull it off. Remember when he was really skinny? and how hot he looked in I am Number Four and Magic Mike?! Please please please offer this role to Alex!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3. <i>Jace Wayland</i> (<b>City of Bones</b>) - I know that he turned down Jace's role but in a parallel universe, I would have want to see him in this franchise. Even though I am not much a fan of the Mortal Instruments, I would accept any chance I get to see him on screen! And isn't it sweet that he was "offered" the role? When everyone else auditioned? I think MI' fangirls are to be credited for this (so fangirl power could actually work). If I were Alex, I would have turned the role down too, imagine the number of books in the series (six? seven? and counting)! He is a brilliant actor and being tied down to just 'one' image will hinder his acting career.<br />
<br />
I wiki-ed him and I can't help but be awed on how many movie offers this man have (and he declined a lot)! You're doing great Hollywood.<br />
<br />
So what brought this post? I was watching I am Number Four and I really really really loved it (his best movie for me)! I think it has become a new favorite of mine :D I hope they will make a second movie, the first kicked ass! I'll try and read the book but honestly, imo, the movie was way better than the book. lol<br />

During that time, my parents were not really the type to indulge in books (no fairy tales, no nursery rhymes books, no nothing), what happened was, everytime I see a book at home, I try to take a look at it, even if I can't understand a single thing (can you believe I was browsing through an accounting book back then? lol). I guess my frenzied reading now is the outcome of my book-deprived childhood, makes sense?<br />
<br />
You can only read a number of books (but it is never too late to start now). I was mentally calculating if I can read a thousand books before I die and well, I think it will be a challenge I will accept :DAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05375017975443924044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221831546743368076.post-9414259836043321192012-07-14T19:48:00.002+08:002012-07-14T19:48:57.845+08:00Settling downBefore, whenever I was asked about what I want to do in the future (or what I want to be), all thoughts lead to:<br />
<br />
1. I want to have a stable (and high-paying) job.<br />
2. I want to travel the world.<br />
3. I want to get married to an amazing man.<br />
4. I want to have a nice home.<br />
<br />
When you think about it, almost everyone dream of a future like this.<br />
<br />
However, this morning, as I was eating breakfast, spreading raspberry jam and milk chocolate on a pandesal, I began to have this <i>crazy</i> thought:<br />
<br />
I want to have my own raspberry farm! I want to spend the rest of my life in a countryside, away from the complexities of city life. I want my family to enjoy the simplicity of country life, to watch over our raspberries and possibly to make the best raspberry jam in the world (haha, seriously)! or to supply the freshest and best raspberries!<br />
<br />
However, our home should have an internet connection (that I can not give up) and I think I'll spend a few years (five years tops) experiencing what life has to offer and then I will gladly give up everything :)<br />
<br />
Anyway, I think I'm crazy for always talking about raspberries, but man, that raspberry jam got me addicted! haha.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05375017975443924044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221831546743368076.post-88679742204509321842012-06-29T22:38:00.003+08:002012-06-29T22:38:43.773+08:00Danke.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You may not have made it to the Finals but I think this will make you even stronger and wiser (just like WC 2010).<br />

Dang, you know how devastated I am with their loss? I think a part of me died. Let me tell you a story, I became a football fan a few days after Spain won the WC. Until a few months ago, I was a La Roja supporter. Then my continuing love for Mesut made me realize that I will support any team he is in. That prompted me to watch Germany's WC 2010 matches (I think that was a year ago) and truth be told, I was not that interested in them (only Ozil and Neuer caught my attention). I wonder then how will I ever warm up to this team?<br />
<br />
Then came Euro 2012. Even if I only knew a few of the members, I was determined to support Die Mannschaft. As I search for German NT related stuff, I got to learn about the team and the members became somewhat familiar to me.<br />

<br />
One thing I realize, Euro 2012 is the first big tournament where I felt that I was really a football fan. Meaning that I got to watch the games live and root for my team, the same way as the world does. Remember, I got into football after the WC games so I did not experience the thrill of it as it happens.<br />
<br />
Germany was heavily favored as the winners. Even I thought that they will advance to the finals and face Spain. I was even contemplating on making a blog post about my Germany-Spain prediction. I was about to write that even if Germany's predicted to win, I think Spain still has the chance to beat them. Why? I dunno, experience perhaps? And also I remember watching their SF match during WC 2010 and I was surprised at how passive Germany seemed against Spain (I was not into Germany or Mesut that time). Sometimes, I felt that Germany is still lacking something (I can't pinpoint what that is).<br />
<br />
And as we know the Germans lost to the Italians. Watching it unfold right before my eyes made me realize how much I have invested in this team. My heart was broken. My eyes were red and sleep evaded me.<br />

My love for this man knows no bounds. He was one of the most affected by their loss. I wish he would not blame himself. He did great in this tournament. He was awarded twice with the MOM award and he scored that Penalty kick (which he deserved).</div>

Another one who broke my heart was seeing Muller like the photo above. I wish Low made him start (it might've changed the game). For some reason, witnessing Mesut and Thomas looking so forlorn brings me back to their WC fate (it's as if these two bear the weight of Germany's loss the most). I know they wanted to do better than 2010 but sadly, it didn't happen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another guy who made my heart cry was Manuel Neuer. Man, even if their winning chance is already impossible, he never gave up. He went out of his box and charged down through Italy's field like a general in a war. It broke my heart and it made me love him more. Manu is such a great player. Even after the final whistle blew, he never showed weakness to his teammates, on the contrary, he was all over the place comforting them. It pains me that just when the whole team was running through the field like their lives depended on it, the referee blew the whistle. Can't he like wait until they made their final attempt?</div>

Still, after all that has happened, we lost. There are no excuses for it. We were defeated last night and we should make that an experience worth remembering. Let it be the fuel for us to make history in the next tournaments (WC 2014, Euro 2016). We are a young team and as the years go by, our youngsters will accumulate experiences which will make them stronger. I am looking forward to seeing this squad a few years from now. They will surely be back with a vengeance ;)</div>

<br />
Last night, I felt so helpless, scared and lost.<br />
<br />
You know what's scarier? It is seeing the worried face of your loved ones (mother, father, brother) and you can't even assure them that everything will be fine.<br />
<br />
....<br />
<br />
Past midnight, I told my mom that I was having difficulty breathing. I have experienced difficulty in breathing in the last few months or so but last night was the worst episode ever. Well, it wasn't really that bad but when I felt stinging sensations on my hands, fingers and mouth, I thought that what I'm experiencing was serious. All that time, my mom was asking me if I wanted to go to the hospital but I insisted that it will subside.<br />
<br />
Then, the numbness spread all throughout my body. My stomach was feeling numb, my throat/neck, my feet, head, chest felt like they were being electrocuted. It scared me sh*tless. My fingers were all stiff and they looked deformed. That time thought I was about to have a stroke and that I may be paralyzed for life. My other thought was that I was about to die any minute. My mom was in hysterics telling my brother to wake someone up so that I can be brought to the hospital.<br />
<br />
My thoughts while I was experiencing all these:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>how would it feel like seconds before you die? When you lose consciousness and the like? Would it hurt when I suddenly lost breathing?</li>
<li>I can not graduate on time! I won't be able to finish my internship, I won't finish our thesis. My life is doomed!</li>
<li>What was my last status in twitter? Would it be memorable enough to be my last tweet (really)</li>
<li>Papa God, not now please, it isn't my time yet. I'm too young.</li>
<li>Am I even supposed to think about these things when I'm about to die? Shouldn't it be full of flowers, etc?</li>
</ul>
<div>
We went to the hospital, I was loaded into a wheelchair (since I can't stand properly) and was observed. They gave me this brown paper bag to breathe into. And after a while my breathing normalized. The doctor told me that I was suffering from Hyperventilation Syndrome. It is usually caused by emotional and/or physical stress. She asked me if I was angry/upset with someone (and the like). </div>
<br />
<br />
I think it was the stress. I had at most 5 hr sleep the last few days, and that coupled with the stress from commuting from QC to Makati (and vice versa) everyday (which entails, standing on MRT rides, walking a great distance from the MRT station to my work place) took its toll on me.<br />
<br />
After we went home, my brother made fun of me (he was trying to lighten up the mood) by reenacting my panic attacks. The thing is, I'm super touched when my brother supported me while walking (haha, in a rare display of sibling love). Even if he didn't show how worried he was, I knew deep down inside he was concerned. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.<br />
<br />
From now on, I'll try to live a healthy life. I will refrain from drinking coffee and milk tea. I will try to exercise more. I would never want to experience HVS ever again.<br />
<br />
p.s. I remember that almost a year ago (?), I experienced something like HVS. At the time, I thought na binabangungot lang ako. However, the symptoms are almost the same. Lesson learned: do not stress yourself.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05375017975443924044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221831546743368076.post-57123573888227906432012-04-06T10:46:00.004+08:002012-04-06T11:00:26.410+08:00Some random callerAs I was reading an ebook (from my phone) last night (at around midnight), I was shocked to see someone calling.<div style="font-style: normal; "><br /></div><div style="font-style: normal; ">What was more surprising was the number flashing on my screen:</div><div style="font-style: normal; "><br /></div><div style="font-style: normal; ">0927-5**-4*3*</div><div style="font-style: normal; "><br /></div><div style="font-style: normal; ">My thought: WADDAEFFF???

I have dedicated all my waking hours to Shinhwa. As much as I want to do other things, I can not even last 10 minutes without coming back to Shinhwa (like right now, I was supposed to be reading a book, but I became nostalgic and I rewatched old SW performances instead). When I was supposed to be doing something 'productive', I found myself blogging, PS-ing, and daydreaming.<br /><br />Even what I am DL-ing are all Shinhwa related. Seriously. The last time I became like this was when I first discovered them. That was unforgettable. And I think what I am going through right now is even worse than what I experienced three years ago.<br /><br />I just can't stop thinking about them. Truth is, I am trying hard to restrain myself from tweeting about Shinhwa every other minute and spamming my Wordpress blog with posts about them! =D You could not just imagine what is going on my head at this very moment.<br /><br />I'm writing this post to lessen my craziness (lol).

I will have to say a lot. In fact, in my opinion, he violated all the ethical principles in journalism. First accuracy. Truth-telling is all about accuracy, checking your facts before reporting/writing and consulting multiple sources (among others). It seems apparent that for Clavio, Cristy Ramos’ side is telling the truth (even if investigations are being made and there is no conclusion yet to the case) and the Azkals’ are the ones to be blamed. I am not saying that the Azkals are innocent but until a decision has been made, one should not judge people. Also, based from his statement, he only relied on the statements said by Ms. Ramos.</span></em></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in; "><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; font-style: normal; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">Second he violated justice (fairness). As a journalist, he should not be biased. He should not overtly show his bias to Ms. Ramos and scorn the Azkals. He should present both sides so as to better inform the public (and not mislead them) of the situation and not make the Azkals appear as the monsters. So, he indeed made an effort to explain the Azkals side but it was done in a way that makes it appear that the Azkals are still in the wrong (as made evident by his statement about how boastful the Azkals are, how lascivious they are, etc.).</span></em></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in; "><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; font-style: normal; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">Third, he violated both the principles of freedom and stewardship in that by his actions, especially the words which sparked the racism issue, media (especially the network that he works for) is put in a bad light. Journalists or broadcasters are given the freedom by the constitution to express their views but Clavio clearly stepped out of bounds. Let’s say that he was only vocal (probably because of his status in GMA) in voicing his opinion about how the Azkals got the attitude, he may be right in a way (again, this is up for contention), but making that remark about how not being a </span></em><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">kayumanggi</span></em><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; font-style: normal; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "> disqualifies you as being Filipino is uncalled for (it does not even directly relate to the sexual harassment issue being talked about), there is such a thing as ‘responsible journalism’.</span></em></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in; "><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; font-style: normal; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">Which leads me to the last principle violated that of humaneness. I remember our discussion where we discussed that in reporting about an event, a journalist/broadcaster should: a) consider the subject b) society, and c) his responsibility as a human being. Surely, it is imperative for the journalist to assure that no harm is done to his subject (whether physical or psychological). In the present case, it is not right to only care about Ms. Ramos’ reputation, the Azkals’ reputation should also be considered, especially because they bear our country’s flag. Making accusations such as what Clavio uttered did not only tarnish/harm the Azkals’ reputation it also casted doubt about our society, how ‘girls apparently throw themselves at handsome guys’ – indirectly assuming how superficial Filipina fans are. It also attacked the Fil-Foreigners, in that being of mixed blood does not make you a Filipino, that no matter how much effort you give for your country (the Philippines) it will account to nothing because at the end of the day, you are not a Pinoy. </span></em><em style="font-size: 100%; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; font-style: normal; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">He did not only cause harm to the Azkals, he ‘inadvertently’ caused harm to Filipina fans, Filipino of mixed race and the Philippines (because the Azkals carry our name).</span></em><em style="font-size: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; font-style: normal; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "> (will end here, currently thinking what to write next)</span></em></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in; "><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-indent: 0.5in; ">p.s.

Si Bambi (my ipod at ang kanyang cable connector) at ang aking usb ay nawawala at feel ko hindi ko na sila makakapiling muli :/ Sa main lib ko talaga naiwan yun but I think may nagkainteres na.
