[Untitled]

Maglilinis dapat ako ng kwarto kanina, pero hindi ko na natuloy. May istorbo kasi. Matagal ko ng hindi tinutulugan ang kwarto ko sa maraming kadahilanan, gaya ng masamang espirito na gumugulo lagi sa aking pagtulog. Biro lang 'yong "masama". Wala naman talaga syang ginagawang masama sa akin, pakiramdam ko lang naman ay lagi nya akong tinititigan hanggang sa pagtulog. Pero ok lang na maramdaman ko ang presensya nya, basta wag lang syang magpapakita.

Hindi tungkol sa multo ang post ko ngayon.

Kanina kasi, sabi ko nga, maglilinis ako dapat ng kwartto ko. Pero nung aayusin ko na dapat ulit yung mga gamit, na ginulo ko the other week, dun sa taas ng cabinet ko, bigla ko na namang nakita ang mga lumang engineering books ko. Sila ang tinutukoy ko na istorbo. Naisip ko na naman na dapat ay engineer na ako ngayon kung hindi lang ako napilitang huminto noon sa pag-aaral. Binuklat ko rin yung mga libro noong huling beses na nag-ayos ako ng kwarto. Sinipat-sipat lang ng kaunti noon. Pero kanina, hindi lang basta simpleng pagbuklat at pagpihit ng pahina ang ginawa ko.

Binasa ko at inaral ang unang chapter ng libro.

Napagtuunan ko ng pansin yung libro ko sa Thermodynamics. Tanda ko pa kung saan ko nabili 'yong libro. May kamahalan kasi sa bookstore ng eskwelahan ni don tomas, kaya para makatipid kahit na kaunti ay dinadayo ko pa talaga noon ang recto para doon bumili ng mga second-hand, pero maayos, na libro. Matino parin ang itsura ng libro hangggang ngayon, kahit na 6 na taon na syang nakatambak sa kabinet. Medyo kulubot na ang cover, dahil narin sa pag-urong ng plastic na ipinambalot ko. Pero syempre, ganun parin ang laman. Nakaka-nosebleed parin. Napasenti mode na naman ako kanina.

Saan na nga ba tumagas ang pangarap ko noon na maging isang magaling na engineer?

Paborito ko noon ang Thermodynamics, partikular ang Thermo 2. Subject na pang third year ang Thermodynamics. Bago mo makuha ang Thermodynamics 1, kailangang pasado mo muna ang Physics 4, Integral Calculus at Chemistry 4 (di ako sure sa Chem). Hindi na simple ang subjects noong third year. Komplikado ang lahat at hindi lang bast-basta memorization, kaya doon ako nagsimulang magseryoso sa pag-aaral. Isa pa, nagkasakit na kasi noon si Tatay - at alam ko noon palang, na manganganib ang buhay ko sa college kung hindi ako makakakuha ng scholarship. Mahal ang pagamot kay erpat, kaya do or die ang sitwasyon ng pag-aaral ko.

Natatandaan ko pa noon, ako ang kopyahan ng mga kaklase kong tamad mag-aral. Hindi ako natutong mangopya noong high school ako. Labag 'yon sa prinsipyo ko dati. Isa pa, matatalino ang mga kaklase ko sa hs at ang sino mang magtangkang mangopya ay pihadong maa-outcast. Kasalanang mortal kasi iyon sa section na halos lahat ay naghahabol sa honor roll. Pero nagbago ang pagtingin (parang crush lang) ko sa pangongopya noong tumuntong ako ng college. Lantaran kasi ang pangongopya at walang hiya-hiya sa mga kaklase.  Para akong na-demoralized.  Sa section ko noong high school, ikakahiya ang mahuhuling nangongopya (wala akong kilala na nagtangka), pero sa college, ikinakahiya ang hindi nagpapakopya. Aminado ako, na noong una, masama ang loob ko sa pagpapakopya. Hindi naman sa madamot ako sa impormasyon. Masama lang ang loob ko dahil hindi ako makakopya! Lugi ako eh! Malabo ang mata ko at kahit pa nakasalamin ako ay hindi ko rin kita. Kakailanganin ko pang ipihit ang ulo ko ng kulang-kulang 90-degrees para makita ang papel nila. Kaya naman sarili ko lang ang naaasahan ko noon pagdating sa exams.

Una akong nakatanggap ng genuine appreciation sa college noong third year. Sa Thermodynamics 2 class. May mga pagkakataon na sinasabihan ako ng mga kaklase ko na magaling daw ako. Alam kong panay buladas lamang iyon. Pero iba na kapag nanggaling sa isang professor ang magagandang salita. Si Engr. T ang tinutukoy ko, at sikat siya noon sa ME dept. Ayon sa balita, square root lang ng kabuuang bilang ng klase ang madalas na pumapasa sa subject nya.  Sa eskwelahan ni don tomas na maligaya na ang estudyante na makakuha lang ng tres, isinusumpa ang lahat ng ganyang klase ng propesor. Istrikto siya sa ang unang araw nya sa amin, at hindi naging maganda ang impresyon ko sa kanya. Parang tipikal na astang-mayabang-na-akala-mo-kung-sinong-magaling-na-prof. Yan ang unang tingin ko sa kanya. Hindi naman nagtagal ang pangit na impresyon ko sa kanya dahil iba sa nauna kong mga prof , natuto ako sa kanya. Hindi sariling aral ang nangyari, sa kanya ako mismo natuto. Quarter term ang educational system sa eskwelahan ni don tomas, kaya lahat ay mabilisan. Kinapos noon sa oras si Mr. T kaya pinagsabay-sabay nya sa loob ng napakalaking classroom ang final exam ng tatlo sa mga sections na hawak nya. Nakapwesto na ako sa upuan ng tinawag nya ako. Nagtaka ako. Pagdating sa harap, sinabihan nya ako na hindi na daw ako pwede mag take ng final exam. Nagulat ako dahil maganda ang performace ko sa klase nya. Tinanong ko sya kung bakit. Sabay tapik nya sa balikat ko, "kahit na ibagsak mo ang final exam, 1.5 pa rin ang grade mo eh. Sisiw lang itong final exam sayo. Exempted ka na". Pumalakpak ang tenga ko (at naramdaman ko talaga). Unang beses kasi na may propesor na nakapansin at nagbitaw ng magandang salita tungkol sa akin. At dahil busy sya, pinakiusapan nya ako na kung pwede daw ay ako ang magbantay sa exam ng klase nya. Kaya naman pala napakabulaklak ng papuring binigay nya sa akin - hihingi pala ng pabor. Naging instant-mini-celebrity ako sa maikling panahon pagkatapos ng final exam sa Thermo 2. Feeling ko rin noon ay matalino talaga ako at tumaas ang self-esteem ko.

3 school terms after that, himinto na ako sa college. Hindi kasi kinaya ng grade ko na makakuha ng scholarship. Bitin ng 0.03 ang marka ko para makakuha kahit ng half-scholarhsip (salamat sa isang kong prof na nagbigay sa akin ng dos na humila sa grade ko pababa). Konting-konti nalang sana. Kung alam ko lang, sana nag-effort pa ako ng mas mabuti para nawala ang 0.03 na difference sa grade requirement.  Yun na. May sakit si tatay eh, at paubos na ang pera ng pamilya. Kinailangan ko munang huminto sa pag-aaral.

Hindi na ako nakapagpatuloy ng pag-aaral pagkatapos noon.

Nakausap ko pa si Engr T bago ako huminto, humingi ako ng pabor, na kung pwede nya akong bigyan ng recommendation letter para makapag-apply ako sa Monbukagakusho Japanese scholarship. Hindi siya nagdalawang isip. Alam ko nalungkot si prof para sa akin nung nalaman nya na huminto ako sa pag-aaral. Sabi nya sa akin, ipagpatuloy ko raw ang pag-aaral ko pag nabigyan ng pagkakataon. Malaki daw ang potensyal ko para maging isang mahusay na engineer, at pwede pa raw akong maging higit sa kanya - yan ang sinabi nya sa akin. Nakatutuwang isipin na may taong naniwala at nagbigay ng papuri sa kakayahan ko bilang estudyante. Para sa akin, higit pa ang mga salitang binitiwan nya sa anumang medalya na maaaring iparangal. Hindi lang kasi papuri ang ibinigay nya sa akin, kundi pati tiwala at lakas ng loob.

Hindi rin ako natuloy sa Japanese scholarship dahil hinihingan nila ako ng transcript of records. Ang problema - ayaw ibigay ng registrar ang transcript ko. Hindi ko pa kasi bayad noon ang kulang ko sa tuition. Nasa ospital si tatay noon at nilalabanan ang kanser. Gustuhin ko man bayaran ang kulang ko sa tuition para makuha ang transcript, mas kailangan ni tatay ang pera para sa ospital.

Habang tinitingnan ko ulit ang mga libro ko kanina, hindi ko mapigilang manghinayang. Anim na taon na ang lumipas. Lahat ng inipon kong datos sa utak ko noong nag-aaral pa ako ay parang tuluyan ng tumagas at nasayang. Saan at paano ako ngayon magsisimula? Nalimutan ko na ang lahat ng napag-aralan ko. Ilang taon ding nabakante ang utak ko sa kakaprocess ng request at kakaayos ng problema ng mga kano sa telepono.

Pinangako ko noon na magiging engineer ako ano man ang mangyari. Pero ngayon, hindi ko na alam kung kaya ko pa. Patawad sa sarili ko, parang hindi ko na kayang tuparin ang luma kong pangako. Pakiramdam ko bumaba ang antas ng utak ko. Hindi ko alam kung ipagpapatuloy ko pa ang musmos kong pangarap, o kung ipagpapatuloy ko nalang ang pagpuputa ko sa gabi kapiling ang mga putang-inang kano sa telepono. Ang hirap. Masakit na sa bulsa pag ako'y bumalik, pihadong masakit rin sa utak dahil apat na taong impormasyon sa kolehiyo ang kakailanganin kong isaksak ulit sa utak ko para masimulan ang ikalimang taon ng kursong iniwan ko. Basta, huli man, magtatapos parin ako ng kolehiyo, kahit na magshift na lang ako sa mas simpleng kurso, para lang makakuha ng diploma na pwede kong isampal sa lipunang humihingi nito.



***Inilathala ko ito dito para magsilbing hamon sa akin. Hindi mo na kailangang ipamuka sa akin ang dapat kong gawin. Marami akong dahilan kung bakit hindi ko agad naipagpatuloy ang pag-aaral ko. Napag-isip-isip ko, sarili ko lang naman talaga ang pumipigil sa akin. Feeling down kasi ako nitong nakaraang mga araw. Kailangan ko lang ng konting tulak.  Balak ko na bumalik next year. Magtatapos ako ng kolehiyo. Period.***

Break


Still sad.  Pfft.  This is the n'th time I said the first sentence.  Soooo redundant.  I wanted to write about something happy but I just don't have any good news to share.  My mojo has lost its power, everything's fucked up, and I can't fucking swallow it.  I know everyone has his own share of dilemmas, so I am not complaining.  Errr.... I better stop now before this post turns into another boorish-emoish-blahness.

I'll be back when I have better things to say.

Blah for now.

2 BIG MISTAKES PLUS 1

So many things happened in the past two weeks but I was so lazy to write about anything.  The news were frustrating.  More bad news actually happened than good news (ugh, are there any?). Most of the local bad news though, if you guys noticed, have a common denominator; buses and cops - and they sure do give me some anxiety now. Buses now, if they don't fall into cliffs or ravines, they run over some cars and kill beauty queens, or they get hijacked and end up with dead tourists.  And the police now, they're either torturing the suspects inside their stations, or they're outside responding to a hostage-drama only to show off their shits.  The most saddest of the sad news (yes, very redundant - to express it in its super-superlative degree), happened just last Monday in Manila.  Did you notice, one date, August 23, 2010, strangely connected two Filipinos in two different parts of the world with two "big mistakes", and placed the Filipino nation, again, in the headline of the international media. If you're a Filipino, or a HK citizen, or if you watched this year's Miss Universe pageant - you sure know one, or maybe both, of the people I am talking about.  The one at the Quirino Grandstand admitted his mistake (in a way, I think) by writing the words “BIG MISTAKE TO CORRECT A BIG WRONG DECISION" on a piece of paper he posted on the bus door he hijacked. He knew he was doing a very big mistake.  Maybe, if the chance gave him more time to think rationally, or if he didn't become too emotional, he could have considered other options to clear his spoiled reputation. The other, on the other hand, is still in denial. She probably really answered the final question honestly (that she never did any major-major mistake in her 22 yrs of existence), but the way she delivered her answer was very unrefined, thus, sounded very unsatisfactory to most. She could have won the crown. But it's ok - she made it to the top 5 of the Miss Universe. Let's give her a pat on the back, she deserves it.



Miss Philippines during the "Final Question" in the Miss Universe 2010 - she won 4th runner up.  Not bad.


BLAH.

Well, no negative comments will be put up here about the incident at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila (errr...I think I just did above). Many already put the topic in their blogs and I don't want to add up to the gazillions of negative comments about it. Many bloggers who share the same sentiments and opinions with mine have been heard. Besides, I think I already gave enough of my opinion of the Philippine National Police in Facebook. Much has been said and that's more than enough. The PNP already admitted their mistake and what's important is that they recognized it (dang they really should), and hopefully - they learned from it.

ENOUGH.

That's the word I have in my mind when I clicked on the "Deactivate" link in facebook. Yes, I wanted to put my facebook account down for good.  Facebook has been consuming much of my time when I'm in front of the computer, and it's not really healthy!  Also, there are many things (and some people) in facebook that I no longer wish to see. Has any of you thought of cancelling your account? Just to give you an idea, this is what you will see when you click the "deactivate" link in FB:

"Your-Friends-Will-Miss-You page of FB.  This is what you will see when you try to deactivate your FB account."

It showed me some random photos of some people I have in my friends list. Chris, Bghie, Belle, and Len were my colleagues in CVG. Luther, aka Kuya Boy, was my father-slash-friend in HSBC. And facebook said these people will miss me if I deactivate my account... hahaha! XD Well, I must admit facebook was successful in stopping me from cancelling my account. I realized I still want to be connected with some people. And also, facebook is where I get my social updates. I don't often text my friends, and not everyone in my friends list are in the Philippines, so I guess it is best to keep my account active and just access it once in a while. One thing is sure; I will try to decrease my web presence.


SAD.

I got a news this morning in facebook that I didn't want to hear. I didn't expect it. I got a text message that confirmed the news too.  Sniffle.  Let's put it this way: I was so busy trying to squeeze myself in inside a jeepney that was already full. I thought the next jeep in line will save a seat for me. I was wrong.  The jeep at the back took off right after I get off the jeepney in front.  The news came this morning, and now I'm late.

I thought she was willing to wait.

Lost to the sea (another emo-talk)

Ok, stone me and drown me. I ate my word when I said I was shutting this blog off and that I was happy. Well, I am happy in a way, but happiness doesn't really numb the pain. I ate my words by heartfully pouring my thoughts and my feelings in this blog yet again. Guess I'm not really tired afterall. I thought I was tired of feeling this way, but it appears I still have a lot of emotion and hurt to throw in this blog. I don't want to think I thrive in loneliness and sadness, but I've learned to live with them. I don't enjoy it, really, but this is how I want to be found. Baka maawa kasi sya pag nakita nya akong ganito. Heck, dapat matagal na. Baliw din ako eh. I sometimes wish I can take something to numb the pain, but then again, that pain I wanted to extinguish is the same pain that bears the memories and reasons why I still find myself smiling at times. Pasensya na, hindi ko na mapigilan. Baka bigla na lang ako sumabog. So go ahead, kill me.

I wonder why I continue writing on this emo-slash-forsaken blog. Nobody ever reads this blog for all I know. It's all the same shitness, only different day. Please quit reading if you don't want to read anything negative. This might just add up to your own shitness in life. Life is aleady full of dirt, and I don't want to add up to yours. Feel free to close this window, and hop some site else. I am not giving you the burden to stay and read this almost-endless-emoish litany blah.

BLAH.

I'm not in the mood for anything good. I want to burst. I am starting a new job on Friday, but I'm still not sure if it's what I really want. I've quitted the call whoring job a couple of times, but here I am again entering the same old shit. Gone tired of being sick and tired of being sick and tired in the whoring business, but life is really giving me no other choice, or siguro takot lang akong sumubok ng bago. Maybe. I'm tired of getting stupid calls from people asking about equally stupid questions. They're calling because they have issues, and most of the time these issues are just because of plain stupidity. Geez. The world is truly reeking of stupidity, and so does this blog you might say. To make things worse, we, and all the people working in the call whoring business are slowly becoming part of that hellishly moronic population and we don't even notice it. Or maybe it is just me. Dinamay ko pa kayo, pasensya na. About my new job, I will play it by ear. I cannot guarantee that I will last a long time in my new-but-not-new company. I just want to earn enough money to do what needs to be done.

Everyday is a an effing tug-o-war between the rational "I-want-to-be-happy-and-start-over" and the ever hopeful "i-don't-believe-in-changes-and-i-don't-go-back-on-my-word". I'm tired. But I really don't go back on my word. I don't want to.

Dyos mio!

Bakit nga ba ako nag-aaksaya ng oras sa pagsasabi ng mga bagay na para sa iba ay wala namang kakwenta-kwenta at wala ni hibla ng katuturan? Hindi ko alam, pero ang oras at panahon ko ay bahagi ng isang malaking konsepto ng pagkatao ko na mahirap arukin at intindihain kahit na ng mismo kong ulirat. Gusto ko lang ibahagi kahit na alam kong hindi naman ako naiintindihan ng mga taong napapadaan ng hindi sadya sa site na to...kahit na katumbas lang sya ng pag-ihi ko sa pader ng harapan pero kailan man ay di ko pa narinig na nagmura at umihi sa akin ng pabalik. Gaya ng pagbulong ko sa mga alaga kong aso paminsan-minsan ng mga saloobin ko na hindi ko maipasa sa mga tao. Kung minsan kasi, mas tao pa kung makinig ang mga aso kesa sa mga tunay na tao.

I'm sorry for wasting your time. This will be the last, I hope. Next time I'll try to write something funny or useful. Christmas is near.

Happiness

is a choice. But being happy doesn't always numb the pain and yearning. I want to think that everything is cool, but reality doesn't really match my expectations and desires. (insert sniffle here).

Meron namang naghihintay na jeep na walang laman, pero bakit ba gusto ko pa ring sumakay sa puno na?

HILING

Minsan di ko maiwasang isipin ka
Lalo na sa t'wing nag-iisa
Ano na kayang balita sayo
Naiisip mo rin kaya ako

Simula nang ikaw ay mawala
Wala nang dahilan para lumuha
Damdamin pilit ko nang tinatago
Hinahanap ka parin ng aking puso
Parang kulang nga kapag ika'y wala

At hihiling sa mga bituin
Na minsan pa sana ako'y iyong mahalin
Hihiling kahit dumilim
Ang aking daan na tatahakin
Patungo...

Ala-ala mong tinangay na ng hangin
Sa langit ko na lamang ba yayakapin
Nasan kana kaya, aasa ba sa wala

At hihiling sa mga bituin
Na minsan pa sana ako'y iyong mahalin
Hihiling kahit dumilim
Ang aking daan na tatahakin
Patungo sa iyo, patungo sa iyo

Ipipikit ko ang aking mata dahil
Nais ka lamang mahagkan
Nais ka lamang masilayan
Kahit alam kong tapos na
Kahit alam kong wala ka na...

At hihiling sa mga bituin
Na minsan pa sana ako'y iyong mahalin
Hihiling kahit dumilim
Ang aking daan na tatahakin
Patungo sa iyo, patungo sa iyo

Sad

I am. Extremely.

[Insert Blog Title Here] - Dang, I'm too lazy to think of a good title.

Oh my... This is the third time Tobey asked me to go hiking with them. Waaahhh... Sorry Tobey. X( I really wanted to go but because of my limited financial resources and my new schedule at work on Monday, I had to say "pass" again on her invite. Arrgghh...

*pic grabbed from Tobey's wordgasm.com


They went to Mt. Arayat last week and now they're planning to go again to another large landform this weekend. Waaaah.... I'm fuckin-dying-to-join them. X(

I'm going to have my new schedule at work on Monday. Yeahbah! XD Yep, finally, after several months of bumming around and wasting a hundred thousand of cash, I am back in the call center whoring business. Pffft. Time to be serious now. This time I will make sure I'd be saving money so I can go back to school next year. My classmates who copied on me during exams are now engineers working in big companies. Waaaa....Those gadammadapakers! They don't deserve it!!! They're all nothing but intellectually challenged and mentally deranged creatures pretending to be good in mechanics and thermodynamics!!! Yes, they're all retards and douchebags and they all deserve to die!!! (haha... It's just me being bitter.XD) It's not really their fault I was left behind. It was my choice - one of the stupidest and idiotically pointless things I did in my life. And so, I want to go back to school again. I need to catch up and make something useful out of my existence. And believe me, I am dead-serious now [insert dead-serious stare here]. Mapua, I'm going back soon!!!

Well, nothing's new about me aside from having a new job (smile). I'm still the same tedious and 50%-self-esteemed-guy-slash-emo-kid who keeps on fucking things up. I don't know, but most that I do ends up a disaster. My intentions are good but then I always fuck things up in the end. Was it really me to blame, or am I just born unlucky? Ohmygoodness!

It has been a while since I last went to church. And when I say "a while" that means a very looooong time. Maybe last year was the last [insert act of sign of the cross here]. I can say I am going thru this so-called spiritual dryness. Hmmmm...and now you ask me what the fuckin heluva shit is that? At present time I honestly don't know what to believe. I'm somewhere in the middle, or let's say I'm currently in the grey area; not in black nor white. Does that makes sense? Pfft...

At present time I see my life as a flat line with no options. Ooppss, sorry, I do have now. Remember, remember, remember, I'm gonna finish my mechanical engineering degree and earn big money and everything else will follow! Teee heee XD. That's the only option I'm willing to take for now. I'm really tired of my life but I have no other choice but to live. Well, I say I have no other choice because there are still people who wants me alive; like my family, my boss at work, my friends, my two lovely dogs, and the parasites living in every cell of my nutrient-rich body. I'm no longer happy living my life but I have embraced the fact that people around me wants me breathing (so they have a medium for comparison on how lucky and capable they are compared to me... geez) and I have made that my sole purpose of living. What a drag! Had my parents left me on the street after I was born, I probably had killed myself the moment my rational mind was developed.

AFTERWORD:
I am making these commitments to everyone who gets to read this post.

  1. I will not kill myself.
  2. I will finish my degree and top the Mechanical Engineering Board Exam! And...
  3. I will determine whether I belong to black or white; spirituality wise, ok.
  4. I will be happy! (my gawd, how can I forget. Include being happy to the 3 original commitments above.) XD
Taddaah! I swear these to you and to all your maddahpaking gods!

Well, I know my Lord will help me. XD Teee heee! XD
