For once in my life

May 27th, 2006 · 9 Comments

For once in my life
(Stevie Wonder original, as performed by Michael Buble)
For once in my life
I have someone who needs me
Someone I’ve needed so long
For once unafraid
I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I’ll be strong
For once I can touch
What my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Could [...]

May 10th, 2006 · 6 Comments

dahil nga walang tv, trip ko na lang [...]

Homesick na naman…

January 23rd, 2005 · 3 Comments

Sabi ko na nga ba wag tatawag sa Pinas e. Mabuti pa ung di ka natawag, at least di ka naho-homesick. Kanina tumawag ako sa Pinas kasi birthday ni utol. Since Sunday nga at birthday pa n’ya maraming tao sa bahay.
Na-miss ko tuloy ang Pinas bigla, na-miss ko ang mga handaan, ang [...]

The world that awaits me…

October 26th, 2004 · 4 Comments

It has been months since I’ve watch a news program from the Philippines. Our TFC (The Filipino Channel) connection in the camp was disconnected since we were not able to pay the monthly subscriber’s fee. The reason behind, super hirap maningil ng monthly share ng bawat room. Para kang naghahatak ng bayawak [...]

The bitter taste of beer…

October 25th, 2004 · 1 Comment

About 2 hours from now, the plane that is supposed to bring me to Manila will arrive.
Two weeks ago, I’ve been wandering about what would be my first day in Manila. I would admit how I missed the savory taste of San Miguel beer. For 2 years I’ve been drinking home made drinks [...]

Good to the last drop…

October 20th, 2004 · 2 Comments

Akala ko pa naman makakapahinga na ako sa mga last days ko dito sa Saudi. Damn! Para akong juice na inubos until the last drop.
It is exactly 4 days before I leave Saudi Arabia, pero tinambakan pa rin ako ng trabaho. Ewan ko ba naman, my replacement is as good as I [...]

730 days & 730 nights

October 16th, 2004 · 1 Comment

Last night we got hold of the film ‘40 days & 40 nights’, as part of our (almost) daily ritual, we would watch a film before we sleep, and we’re calling it as ‘last full show’. I’m not about to criticize the film based on it’s artistic presentation, wala naman akong karapatan e. [...]
