on-air

Last thursday, our head writer asked me if i could join my officemate on the radio station this sunday (sept. 12, 2010) which i didn't think twice of agreeing. =)

( I cannot believe that I'll be able to enter on a radio station)

so there, My cousin dropped me off to the radio station, and out of maybe my excitement, i came early. I came there about 6:45am, knowing that our radio program will be on air by 7:ooam. I started txting my officemate and asked her where she was, and i was shocked that she's just on her way to the radio station. And since it was my first time. I decided to wait for her at the lobby, 30minutes came, and finally she arrived. She told me, that i'm way too early, the program will be aired by 7:30am. (which i thought of, next time i will be just 15mins. early)...hehe

As I enter the radio station, I was like. Wow! so this is what a radio station looks like. I can see the announcers seats, technicals, and of course our seats. My officemate brief me about what to do. We answer calls, type-in what the announcer will read on the idiot board and transfer calls to the announcer so they can talk on air. =)

It was fun! The program runs about 1-1/2 hour. and while i was busy writing a report which i will submit to the head-writer by tomorrow. I didn't notice that the program signed off. hehehe

I really want to asked my officemate if she could take pictures of me there, to which i refused to, since i am afraid that the staff of the radio station will not allow me to. Maybe next time. I will asked then... hehehe =)

2010 Emmys Red Carpet

Kim Kardashian

The curvaceous reality star was a vision in her Cleopatra-esque Marchesa creation complete with stunning Lorraine Schwartz jewels and a braided updo.

Heidi Klum

The 37-year-old mother of four strutted her stuff in a Marchesa micro mini, spiked Christian Louboutins, and a Lorraine Schwartz ruby and diamond necklace. While she looked incredible, we can’t imagine this barely-there dress was very easy to sit through an awards ceremony in.

Julie Benz

The former "Dexter" star struck a pose in an elegant one-shoulder gown from Pamella Roland’s Resort 2011 collection. The beaded cut-out motif on her hip elevated the gown from simple to stunning.

Jayma Mays

The "Glee" counselor showed how very different she is from her buttoned-up character in a sexy Burberry Prorsum chiffon ruched gown, Neil Lane necklace, and tousled strawberry blond locks.

My favorite dresses in the 2010 Emmys Red Carpet. Their dress was so fabulous. How I wish I could have one...hehehe but I could experiment though, maybe my closet will give me such... =)

Kuwentong Dyip

(at dahil BUWAN ng WIKA ngayon... tagalog tong gagawin ko)

Sa wakas! nagkasagimsim din ako... Ilang beses ko na rin sinubukan magsulat ng isang "blog" na gamit ang ating wika. Unang subok hindi tapos, Pangalawang subok panget, pangatlo, pang-apat waaaahhh, ayoko na ang hirap! pero nang makita ko ang asignatura ng aking kamag aral, nagkaroon ako ng tiwala sa sarili na makakapagsulat din ako ng ganoon. Kaya aking sinubukang muli.

Haayyy... Aking naibigkas, pagsakay ko sa dyip.

Pupunta na ako sa unibersidad na aking pinasukan mula sa pagkabata hanggang sa paglaki. Mahuhuli na ko. Iniintay pa naman ako ng mga bagong manunulat ng "THE JOURNAL"! Ang magasin ng unibersidad. Habang tinatahak ko ang trapik mula guadalupe hanggang makati ave. hindi ko mapigilang tumingin ng tumingin sa oras, 45mins.! 45mins.! Text dito, Text doon, sorry dito, sorry doon. Bumaba ako ng dyip naglakad ako sa tulay ng makati-mandaluyong bridge. Nakakamiss maglakad dito, ang makipagsiksikan sa tulay kada alas singko ng hapon at ang maglakad sa init ng sikat ng araw pagpasok sa opisina. Sumakay na ko ng hulo na dyip. Yes! isang sakay na lang diretso na to. Sa aking kagalakan, hindi ko napansin ang mga pasakay na pasahero, siksik doon, siksik dito; hanggang sa umandar na ang dyip na sing kupad ng pagong. Daig pa nang mamang nagbibisikleta sa gilid ng kalsada.

Lagi ko yan napapansin, kada sasakay ako ng dyip, hindi ko malaman kung sino ba ang may sira ang dyip o ang tsuper nito. Muli kong naalala ang kategoryang binigay ko sa mga ganitong dyipni drayber na nasasakyan ko nung ako'y nasa kolehiyo.

May apat na klase ng dyipni driver.

Una ang dyipning pagong. Kagaya nang nabanggit ko kanina, sila ay ang mga dyipni drayber na kung magpatakbo eh aabutin ng siyam siyam bago ka makarating sa pupuntahan mo. Malas ng mga taong mahilig magmadali pero hindi umaalis ng maaga. dapat magaling ka tsumempo.

Pangalawa ang dyipning hakot. Sila yung mga dyipni drayber na lahat ng kantong may taong makita eh hihintuan at aalukin na sumakay na sa dyip nila kahit hindi naman nila pinapara, parang kompyuter na nakaprogram. awtomatik! Dapat itong iwasan ng mga taong mahilig umupo ng relaks sa dyip; alalahanin mo pasahero ka lang.

Pangatlo ang dyipning laging luwag. Sila yung mga dyipni driver na mahilig sabhin sa mga pasahero na luwag pa kahit hindi naman, madalas naten silang makikita sa mga lugar kung saan may barker, tantiyado nila ang sukat at bilang ng kasiya sa jeep, wag kang umangal, kundi lalo lang tatagal pag-alis niyo, ikaw din baka pagsisihan mo pa. dapat itong iwasan ng mga babae, talamak dito ang mga modus ng mga masasamang tao. At

Pang-apat ang dyipning bingi/bulag. Sila yung mga dyipni drayber na hindi makaintindi ng salitang PARA!, makakita ng umiilaw na ilaw ( sa mga pull the string to stop) at makarinig ng tunog (sa mga push the button to stop). Tamang bayad lagpas na babaan ang drama nila, hindi mo alam kung tulala o sadyang ayaw lang nila pansinin. dapat itong iwasan ng mga taong mahihina ang boses, kundi hindi ka makakarating sa destinasiyon mo.

Bukod sa mga nakakainis na dyip, hindi naman patatalo ang mga nakakainis na mga pasahero. Marami din niyan, may mga pasahero na kung umupo kala mo nabili na yung upuan, kulang na lang bumukaka wag lang masiksik, may mga pasahero naman na deadma, nakita nang nahihirapan yung matanda o babae sa pag-upo, hala sige siksik pa ng siksik, deadma din sa pagabot ng bayad narinig nang may sumigaw ng bayad po hindi pa kukunin, hindi istretsiyabol ang kamay ko, kaya please pakiabot lang, may mga pasahero naman na kung makatingin kala mo iskaner, kung makapaginspeksiyon tinalo pa yung sekyu sa gate sa eskwelahan namen, at meron ding mga maiingay, tinalo pa yung sounds ng radiyo sa kaingayan, magkatabi lang naman sila ng kausap niya.

Madami ding istoryang nabubuo sa dyip, ang kwentong combo, kwento ng taong tulog sa dyip na nagbabounce ang ulo taas, at baba, nakakailang combo na kaya si manong? kwentong narra, ma bayad, san to? Diyan lang sa narra? anong narra? diyan lang! sa susunod alamin mo na 9de pebrero yan; hindi yung narra ka ng narra. kwentong de ja vu na hindi, ate bili kayong mani, bayad po! pagsakay ng pasahero ate bili kayong mani, bayad po! ang kwentong patak, ilang patak na kaya ang nahuhulog sa bibig ni kuya, at ang kwentong 123, magaabot ng bayad sabay baba, kunwari siya nagbayad.

5mins. ito na yun natatanaw ko na, 4mins, malapit na ko! tama na ang pagpuna sa mga tsuper at pasahero, isang liko na lang andon na ko, makakasama ko na ang mga kameeting ko, 3minutes, nagreready na ko, 2mins. steady na ko, 1min. MANONG PARA BABABA na ako.

Outing to Out Here

(after the scenario; i didn't sleep on the van on our way to batangas...)

Last Saturday July 3,2010 was an unexpected mishap. My mom's office department planned to go at my aunt's beach to have an outing. I was not in the mood to join them, not until my elder cousin asked me to join such; so she will have a companion. I agreed to join them for my "ate's" sake. My mom's officemate fetch us at home so we could have a ride from Manila to Batangas. Upon entering the van, i had a hard time opening it's door, I asked his(the owner/driver) help to open the door; he said " oo nga, mahirap buksan yan door,sa loob lang nabubuksan yan; wala din tayong aircon kaya bukas na lang naten yung bintana." So we were already inside,we were on our way to batangas; since it was like what 5:ooam; I fall asleep inside the van. Everything was at ease. Then suddenly, I woke myself up, because my mom was yelling "stop the car! stop the car!" But the driver seems to be depth and still relaxed in driving the car. A smoke outside the van started to showed up; Still. he continued driving. My mom kept on yelling at the driver, when we finally see the van filled with smoke inside, to the point that we cannot see anyone; I am trying to open the door of the van, but the door seems to lock itself; and since it's an "either:or situation (Either I will jumped on the window and be alive or I will stay on the van and die with suffocation. Like what happened to Carol Banawa's Brother) I was about to jump on the window; my mom was pushing me towards the door, But my Cousin's husband, eventually opened the door, I can't see them; What I only see was the smoke; I was covering my nose; yelling "Mom, where are you?!" I immediately walked and try to sense if the road I was stepping on has no rocks or something. As I walked through, I eventually hold someone's hand, mom is that you?! Since my mom confirmed that it was her, I immediately asked her to go far behind the van. I was about to be attacked by my asthma but I didn't mind. I yell my mom's officemates name and asked her if she hears me, she should go far behind the van. Gladly,we were on a convoy, My mom's boss immediately stop their car and go with us; When the smoke started to lessen, I can see the road filled with smoke, cars along san pedro exit stops since they no longer see the road due to the smoke that our van radiators made. It causes a traffic though. I thought the car will explode. Because if it does, we might be dead by now. When the smoke finally stops; the rescue team came, (they were a little bit late).

Since the van was not in good shape, the boys(my mom's officemates) stay with the driver so as my cousin's husband and push the van towards the repair shop. The manong said "swerte pa din kayo, hindi yung gas, yung nasira kundi sabog na kayo." We were transfered to another van; I started to feel uneasy, staring at the clouds. I am not in myself. I feel so afraid then. I don't want to sleep again inside the van. We were running smoothly, when the car overheated at calabarzon; I kept quiet, but deep inside I am afraid. After they put water on it, it runs okay. When we were going down to our house in batangas, I said "Thank God!"

My ate told me, that she did txt some of my friends to say that I am okay after what happened, I dunno that, since I'm still in shocked. Then, when I am finally back in the world, I txted them, sadly, none of those who you thought would asked "why? what happened?" didn't ask anything. My phone was silent, nobody's txting. I felt that "nobody cares for me."

Sunday morning I received a txt from people. Surprising as it may seem; those people who was not an inch close to me, txted me, and seems to be bothered regarding what happened. =( Powerhouse txted me; asking if "how are you? they didn't know what happened. But they txted me.yipee! "I'm happy that powerhouse are always there for me; that means a lot.

I now know what "live life to the fullest" means. This is my 2nd life. I should make the most out of it, because none of us knows what will happen the next day.

inauguration or independence day?

(to which i dunno if june 3o was a holiday because of inauguration or because of independence day?!hahahaha)

I just woke up, when my mom was yelling to my nanny saying "call me when the inauguration starts". Then a minute after she said it, the most awaited program started.

I never thought that P' and VP's inauguration day has a lot of song numbers. I mean I thought inauguration day must be focused on the oath taking of the elected officials and not to the song numbers of those artists. To which it should be. And wait!!! Did Charice sang the national anthem live? because she sounded like it was recorded.

the song numbers made me feel like as if I'm watching an independence day program. Song about freedom and changes were performed.

I salute the composers for making a great piece. Maybe it will be appropriate when all the intermission of some sort has been performed right after the oath taking.

After the inauguration, feedbacks from audience, writers as well as televiewers has been posted/aired thru facebook, radio, television and newspapers. Some comments i heard were:

> I love it when VP arrived riding on a electric jeepney; this shows what a true filipino is; not ashamed of where he comes from; and to what kind of car he brings.

>Have you heard about the speech of the P's about the "wang-wang" thing? i dunno if he was just doing it for the sake of changes or for the sake of good impression?

> The P is beginning to be a good role model to everyone.

> What's wrong with the program did P' just arrive early or VP was just late?

> Those two are really the best tandem! this could be the start of something new.

....

But one thing I am sure of, these two intelligent and strong individuals can really make the country as better than what it has been for the past few years. Proud to be Pinoy!!! =)

TWILIGHT

I was sitting at the sofa; reading Kikomachine Comics, when I saw set of books underneath the center table. It was black, thick and was protected by a plastic cover. I thought it was a horror book, so i decided not to get it. But the voice inside my mind doesn't stop bugging me with these books. I asked my cousin about the book, and she told me that it's her baby. It's her Edward Cullen and Bella Swan's love story. It was in that moment that I had the idea that it's Stephenie Meyer's works. I borrowed it from her and promised to give it back after i am done reading.

Upon opening the pages of this book, I thought it will give me a hard time understanding each paragraph like The Tale of two cities. But it never did. The book is nice. It consists of 24 Chapters and 500pages. The events of this book are very detailed that gives you a clear vision on what is really going on in Forks. Some parts of this book is not included in the movie. Which gives me the idea that, it will be great if this book will be a television series like the vampire diaries, so everything will be included.

Things that are not included in the movie and some parts that is different from what is written:

The Movie. 1. First Part: Jacob and Billy went to Charlie's house and surprised Bella with her new Truck. It is in that part Jacob introduced himself to Bella. 2. Port Angeles: When Bella is searching on Edwards' true Identity, she go inside the Bookstore and buy a book about the Quileutes; 3. The Hunt: When the evil vampires is hunting Bella, Bella's jacket was worn by Rosalie. 4. Phonecall: In the Hotel in Phoenix Bella talks to James(evil vampire) outside the hotel while Alice and Jasper is talking to the receptionist. Bella secretly go to her Ballet studio while Alice and Jasper is talking to the receptionist.

The Book. 1. Scary Stories: It is at the beach where Bella met Jacob. 2. Port Angeles: Bella didn't go inside the bookstore, because it is not what she's expecting. The Bookstore's windows are full of crystals, dream catchers and books about spiritual healing. 3. The Hunt: Bella and Rosalie exchange clothes, so that the evil vampires will chase Rosalie instead of Bella 4. Phonecall: Bella talks to James(evil vampire) inside the room while Alice and Jasper is at the sofa. Bella secretly go to her Ballet studio passing through the window of the comfort room at the airport while Jasper is waiting outside and Alice was waiting for the boarding of Edwards' airplane.

The Chapters. 5. Bloodtypes: The Red Cross is having a blood drive in Port Angeles next weekend so Mr. Banner their biology teacher suggests all students to prick their finger with the lancet and put a small drop of blood on each of the prongs. This is for them to know their blood type. Of course, Edward didn't come to class. I suppose he knows that this will happen; and if he did attend, their secrets will be revealed. Bella told his Professor that she knows her blood type already while feeling weak. While she's watching how Mr. Banner squeeze Mike's finger to make the blood flows. She feels like she is fainting. So she asked Mike to take Bella at the Clinic. As they walk through the corridor, she hear a very familiar voice. Right, It's Edward. Asking Mike to go back to their Biology class and that he will take care of Bella. At the clinic. Edward is laughing at Bella, because of the fact that Bella faints but she's not the one who has been pricked by their professor. 10. Interrogations. Jessica wants to know what happened between Bella and Edward at Port Angeles. So she interrogates Bella by asking her about her feelings towards Edward. While Edward is listening to their conversation (he can read minds except Bella's).

FAVORITE LINES

*If leaving is the right thing to do, then i'll hurt myself to keep from hurting you. To keep you safe.

*Of course, keeping you safe is beginning to feel like a full-time occupation that requires my constant presence.

*To me, it was like you were some kind of demon, summoned straight from my own personal hell to ruin me.

*But I resisted, I don't know how. I forced myself not to wait for you, not to follow you from school. It was easier outside, when i couldn't smell you anymore, to think clearly, to make the right decision. I left the others near home-- I was to ashamed to tell them how weak I was.

*Bella, I couldn't live with myself if ever hurt you. You don't know how it's tortured me.

*You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever.

*I would rather die than to stay away from you.-Bella

*Bella, I've already expended a great deal of personal effort at this point to keep you alive. I'm not about to let you behind the wheel of a vehicle when you can't even walk straight. Besides, friends don't let friends drive drunk.

*Don't be self-conscious, If I could dream at all, it would be about you. And I'm not ashamed of it.

*Just give me a minute to restart my heart.

*I'm just pleasantly surprised, In the last hundred years or so, I never imagined anything like this. I didn't believe I would ever find someone to be with... in another way than my brothers and sisters. And then to find, even though it's all new to me, I'm good at it... at being with you.

*Isn't it supposed to be like this? The glory of first love, and all that. It's incredible, isn't it, the difference between reading about something, seeing it in the pictures and experiencing it?

*I know at some point, something I tell you or something you see is going to be too much. And then you'll run away from me, screaming as you go. I won't stop you. I want this to happen, because I want you to be safe. The two desires are impossible to reconcile.

*I was prepared to feel... relieved. Having you know about everything, not needing to keep secrets from you. But I didn't expect to feel more than that. I like it. It makes me... happy.

*If you let anything happen to yourself-- anything at all-- I'm holding you personally responsible. Understand that?

*You don't. But that doesn't mean that you aren't still a temptation to every one of them. If you had appealed to the tracker--or any of them-- the same way you appeal to me, it would have meant a fight there.

* Bella, don't you dare waste time worrying about me. Your only concern is keeping yourself safe and-- please, please-- trying not to be reckless.

*Our family is strong. Our only fear is losing you.-Alice

*I'm not going anywhere. I'll be right here as long as you need me.

*No, I don't want to be without you, Bella, of course not. Be rational. And I have no problem with saving you either-- If it weren;t for the fact that I was the one putting you in danger... that I'm the reason that you're here.

*You are my life. You are the only thing it would hurt me to lose.

*I told you I'm not going anywhere. Don't be afraid. As long as it makes you happy, I'll be here.

* To be perfectly honest, she'll be unavailable every night, as far as anyone besides myself is concerned. No offense. And I'm sorry about your evening.

*Bella, I won't let anything hurt you--not even yourself. I won't let go of you once, I promise.
