the one that got away
his pics in fs seems he's enjoying life...single and contented. am glad =) felt surreal when i attended this conference and his dad was called out for an award.laglag panga ko! ang weird lang kasi his dad and i belong to the same society pala. sooner or later mas closer na ang encounter namin ng dad niya. weird lang. oh well, the time with him was good while it lasted. too bad we never got to meet each other. ganun ka weird.hay weird talaga.

fear
i never really bothered about plane rides until the trip to cgy last summer. the plane was caught in the middle of an airpocket.i was sleeping when we took off in mnla, too tired from the conference in dumaguete. bigla akong nagising, the plane was shaking sideways and then bam!sudden drop.the turbulence was so strong that my seatmate's coffe cup flew off and landed on my feet.mainit na kape un.amfufu.and so i developed this fear of flying.i get scared stiff everytime i ride a plane now.kanina lang malakas ang turbulence while approaching dvo. ate dem was right, mas matapang ka kung mag-isa ka because you only have yourself to rely on.

fully booked
i have a very suicidal sked for the next two months. terminal evaluation, surveys and more surveys happening all at the same time. parang yung feeling na gasping for air, always out of breath. i see my nightmare everytime i look at my calendar. and then of course the dreaded plane rides again.kung pwede nga lang video conference na lang para hindi na ako pupunta sa kanila.

career plans
gusto ko ng mag-aral!deym.ang tagal ng plano yan, hindi matutuloy-tuloy. friends and colleagues are going to school, some have even graduated na. habol tayo. please god, give me this chance. nakakamiss ang feeling ng maging estudyante. =)


regional languages
i have been observing these non-tagalog speaking pinoys.they prefer using english than tagalog. when i was in college, i took this jeepney ride from plaza-tuba.one time there was this old lady chatting with a neighbor: "napan ak nag-market yisterdi!" kunana.
translation: she went to the market yesterday.they were speaking in ilokano.

and now, here at the hotel lobby: "wala man diay kayong bugnaw na water?unsa ni, chocolate drink?naa mo o." gyud gyud! =)

vaughn, a cebuano, explained that they wont be caught dead speaking in tagalog.owkeifayn.
