november 4, 2005. this was the last time i posted on this blog.

it has been two months so i decided it must be time to fill up the space a little bit. sayang naman kasi.

right now, i'm working at the department of education. yup DepEd. there is a job opening at the UCPB branch here in our place. i'm thinking of taking this job opportunity. kaso, i need to go to UCPB's head office in makati to take an exam and be interviewed.

next month, or the month after, my brother will be ordained priest in cavite. which means i will be in manila by that time. Cool. i'll get to spend some time with my friends there.

this coming schoolyear, i'll probably take up business management here. It's an open university so that would mean i could work while i study. astig.

it's a miracle, but i have made my alcohol-drinking habit to seldom. seldom as in seldom (for months now). And also, this unlikely turn of event has somehow infected my friends here, who (i noticed) are now limiting their alcohol intake. that's good.

i need to cut down on my smoking. the smoke always gets in my eyes. hehe

love life? break up, as usual.

free as a bird..

my passion for writing songs is coming back... inspiration? Hmmm. secret...

my parents are planning to buy a house in cavite in the near future (i think). that's great.

i am now, officially a billiards addict!!

berks, ganito ko to niluluto

sangkap
1 kilo pork meat
1 cup bagoong alamang
salt
vetsin (ajinomoto)
2-3 cups gata ng niyog
pinya (sliced into cubes)
garlic
onion
sili
paano niluluto
1. pakuluan muna ang 1 kilo baboy hanggang sa lumambot (30-45 min). huwag pabayaan. baka lumambot mxdo.
1B. habang ginagawa ito, hugasan ang alamang ng 2-3 beses para mawala ang alat.
1c. Hiwain din ang mga malalaking sili para lumiit. xempre.
2. hiwain ang baboy into cubes at itabi. pwede mo rin gtiman kaso wala pang lasa ang karne. matabang.
3. pagkatapos, ilagay ang gata ng niyog sa kawali (isama dito ang konting dinurog na garlic at konting hiniwang onions), at pakuluan. TANDAAN! habang pinakukuluan ang gata, stir it constantly.
4. kapag kumulo na, ilagay ang cubed baboy meat at hiontayin ulit na kumulo. isama na ang bagoong alamang. stir, then taste. kung mxdo maalat, wala tayo magagawa. kaya Waring, kalahati muna ng alamang ang ilagay. dagdagan na lang kung matabang.
5. ilagay din ang konting vetsin at asin (depende sa panlasa mo)
kapag kumulo na uli, ilagay ang hiniwang sili at hintaying KONTING KONTI na lang ang sabaw.
6. ilagay ang hiniwang pinya, mix, then serve.
Ikaw na lang mag-estimate sa lahat lahat na gagawin. bahala ka sa diskarte.

happy cooking
happy bicol expressing

nais

nais kong magtapos ng law o kaya religious/values education.
pagkatapos, nais ko rin magturo ng teolohiya sa kolehiyo.
maaari ding pumasok ako sa pulitika. di ko alam...
nais kong makatulong sa mga tao. siguro kelangan ko ngang pumasok sa pulitika. di ko alam...
nais kong magkaroon ng mabuting asawa at malulusog at mababait, at siguro medyo makulit na mga bata.
pero bago yan, nais ko munang maging mabuting tao, asawa at ama para kahit mabigo ako sa nais kong pamilya, ayos lang.
nais ko ring magkaroon ng saeiling bahay. yung maliit lang. ayaw ko ng malaki. mahirap kasi hagilapin ang mga tao kapag malaki ang bahay.
ano pa ba?
marami pa siguo.
pero ngayon, nais kong kumain. gutom na ako.

alaala

may mahaba dapat akong sinulat dito. pero nagbago ang isip ko. kaya ito n lang isusulat ko. hehehehe. kagat kagat!!!!

touch and go

Touch-and-go
that's the bond we have
as we hold on to each other's hand
we know that tomorrow we will part
it's a hurricane that hits me
as i try to make sense of this
i swivel and i swirl
til dizziness sets in
and i find myself
staring at your hazy figure
fading and fading

it stabs my steadfast heart
as reality sets in
i have to live with this:
that we'll always be
touch and go

and as the hurricane leaves
my soul is but a wreck
longing for that day you'll fix it
that day that we can touch and go again

Love is a vicious cycle
