The Excess Exes II

Ahoy! I’m here again. haha. The best news ever, o di bah? Don’t react. What am I doing here and what is it with the title right thurr?? Am I the only one who lost yet another pair of glasses or have you got astigmatism as well? Whatever. Indeed. It is a sequel of the *insert drum roll here* “Excess Exes” translated to tagalog could be, “mga taong walang kwenta sa buhay mo ngayon” wow. Ang harsh naman ni lolo. Di naman siguro no? To add to the long random/useless introduction. Merry Christmas. December one na po, mga ninang, ninong, magtago na po kayo.

Move on. Yet again, the infamous ex has been bugging the heck out of thechildoftheeisred. yesterday. This happened. . .

X: “Howdy! How’s it going?”

Me: “Howdy be doing good, thanks. How are you? Long time no anything.”

“Hahaha I’m good. And yes, indeed.”

“What have you been up to?”

“Nothing much. Just been driving around a lot.”

“So I’ve heard. New car, yeah?”

“Yeah. Pretty cool innit?”

“It’s my favorite color too. Blue.” (private thoughts.. ‘thought u didn’t like blue.. hmmnn’)

“Wow.”

(‘as if you didn’t know..)

“Loud music on max I assume?”

“(insert ex’s fave movie here)”

“Still haven’t seen that.”

“fastest selling dvd. Sold millions on it’s 1st day.”

“And apparently I’m still stuck in the old age.”

“(insert hurtful insult here)”

“I can’t believe you just said that. Wow.”

“What?” (pretending to be innocent)

“Nothing.”

“(insert another insult here)”

“(‘disregarding insult’) So how’s your girlfriend?”

“Don’t have one anymore.”

“What happened?”

“complicated.”

And there goes ex with the new blue car. take note, ex used to be ho hum about blue. what changed?

See? months and months later and the excess ex is still hung up. Did I break us up? No. Who did? X did. Did I try to save the ship? Yes. Did X care? It seemed naye. How many chances does a partner need? I know I gave enough. too much even. I shoulda dropped your sorry a** a long time ago. But love makes the world go stupid.

Another excess ex…

One day Snowhite goes along to the ticket booth to go on a ride with the her friends. She didn’t buy her ticket with the seven dwarves because she was late. Too busy puking up poisonous apples from evil witches from the Northeast. One day, a prince, who has long longed for Snowhite but was too afraid to make a move, asked Doc, the wise dwarf.

“What ride do you think Snowhite will go on?”

“She’s going with us on the earliest ride. We’re planning to get on the Octopus because it’s the scariest ride. I heard there was one guy who fell. He died. Wanna come? It’d be fun!”

” Sounds scary. And you know how I hate the Octopus. And besides it’s too early.”

“But Snowhite will be there.”

“Do you think I can still get in?”

“Yeah sure. I’ll help you with the bribery.”

And on they went….

On the day of the scheduled Octopus Adventure…

The Prince saw Doc trying to hiding on a pebble. His bulging stomach and huge eyeglasses, eminent. It’d take a blind and deaf creature not to notice. So the Prince called Doc..

“Shouldn’t Snowhite be here already?”

“Always late. You know her.”

Doc was already sweating profusely.

Meanwhile…

“Dang. That wbitch gave me too many poisonous apples. I had to use the broomstick to make me puke. “

“Too bad. Pinky Lee.”

“I know. And now I’m going to miss the dwarfs at the fair. No more deathly Octopus rides for me. huhuhuh.”

“Can’t we still get in?”

“I woke up to late. It’s overbooked.”

Needless to say. The prince is now planning to invent Redhorse capsule, Redhorse syrup, Redhorse Litropack and Redhorse candy to numb the pain. he doesn’t talk to any of the dwarves now. He plans to start the ‘Repubic Act 1234321: The slaying of dwarfs’ next year.

The lesson to that mindless creation is this: I am not a good story teller. Hence, don’t put me up for the literary competition next year.

Don’t even get me started on what the current’s ex has been doing. Pathetic, I tell you. Pathetic.

And to those who have identified with the exes? Ang tamaan wag magalit. heheheh Istaf yourself na po. D nakakatuwa. heheh Pangita nalang sab mug inyong kalingawan. para bebu ta tanan.

till next time,

ai P.S. pa d i..

You can send all Christmas gifts at the City Post office, address it to, anaknitetangpulah. And e mail me when to pick it up. hahaha thanks mga fans and friends and odds and ends.

Merry pasko,

anaknitetangpulah

What was I thinking? and who am I kidding?

Nothing straight, apparently. (Yes, pun intended.) And myself, as it has been made clear. I am Nationalistic. I am patriotic. I do care. But Jesus, it seems to me, that I really am not fluent in Filipino. Pwede bisaya na lang? Naks! But the hope is till blazing, of course. I’m not losing it. This morning, I have realized that another promise made to me, has been broken. Enough with the promises already. It’s not easy having your hopes crushed time and time again.

I know I said I’m writing this blog all in Filipino. Since breaking promises is a trend now, can I try it too? hehehe joke. But who reads my rants anyway? Ho hum. Nyehehe!

A lot has happened this month. A lot has changed in me. I’m on a new serious path to where, I still am not sure. I’m hoping that I will not give any promises to those important to me, especially Potz. hehe I have always been on the recieving end of broken promises. I do not want to be put in place of the hurter. Consciously or Unconsciously. Meant, or naye.

When you really think about it, promises don’t do anything. If you trust each other and in what you have, already, there is security. If trust is in an area out of coverage, promises come in and make you think it saves the day, when actually it’s just a band aid for our insecurities. It’s covered, but the pain is still there, behind the mask, the ugliness breathes, still.  When we do make promises, be sure the we can make them, let’s not give them away when in fact, we are also trying to convince ourselves. That’s a tad bit too unfair, is it not?

Just recently, I have been introduced to happiness. So this is how it feels? I like it. Hmmnn, lovez it, even. I am afraid, of course, it’s a new found feeling. Untouched territory. But everyday, I also find the courage to face whatever it is I have to, yes, that includes you, Voldemort. But then again, I also find bigger eye bags each time the mirror looks at me. Nyehehe Hhmmn. Te blooming efek is made with real love juices, not from concentrate. :p

To finish this post, let us lend our ears and eyes to my love, Miss Wanda Sykes.(with Ms. Ellen D)

(girl, I’d marry you if the Cardinal won’t Sin no more) ;>

NO TO PROP 8!!!

nagmamahal,

Love Makes The World Go STUPID.

Call me a liar. A disappointment. No wait. Don’t call me a liar. That’s a fallacy. :> But a disappointment? I’m used to that. What promises have I broken? usually has to do with tardiness. haha. I’m late, but never too late. What does it have to do with the promising title? Nadda. Being random as usual. And you lurves it. No time for denial here friends. :p

What do you call a person who goes in to a relationship, with an unforeseen future, a long and wide age gap,  a person who stays with another person who is completely different, the opposite almost to the ideal person, a person who is completely devoted to another person who’s the opposite end of the spectrum? Blind? no. I can see the pretty face. Stupid? My IQ’s enough.I hope. In love? HoleyMotherLover, Yes. Human? Amen.

I am a being of contradictions. Have I ever denied that? No. But my imaginary Jims and Sals say it’s a quality which is quite endearing. How? You’ll have to ask me on the next plane home from Jakarta.

I like to be sure. It doesn’t matter that at times I’m indecisive. I think that’s more reason why I like to be sure. I like reassurance. I’m open-minded, sure. But I have values.  Not to say that open-minded people don’t have any it’s just that… okay. Scratch that. Let me put it this way. If you would have presented to me this situation months ago, this would be the most likely outcome:

If you don’t choose me, then I’ll wish you luck. But if it is me that you want… Wait a second, I’ll check my schedule.

Taray noh? But now it’s like, I love you, I think you have doubts, but I love you anyway. And yes, I’m staying. I’m a sheep. You’re a rooster. My Chinese ancestors tell me it’s not going to work – a disaster. Do I care?  Of course.  Am I doing anything regarding that matter? No.  Does it make me feel a bit cautious?  Yes.  Am I backing out?  NO.  I’m rational.  That’s why my friends would say I’  a man- I think like a man. Now, just because I’m rational doesn’t make me a member of the male species. I know some men out there who are immature, but claims that they were not born yesterday. But I apparently am emotional and sensitive like a woman… now what does that make me? androgynous?

Anyway, my question is, why do we stay in relationships when we know they have a lot to work with, and we know we can get so much more when we get out? Is it just love? or is it something else?

Because I know all these things like my family would disapprove if they find out, or that my new partner has a lot of issues that I, at the time being, can not identify with. I keep denying, in our conversations, that our age gap wouldn’t bother us in the future or that it doesn’t bother me. And it really doesn’t in general, in fact I’ve always been attracted to people older than I am but there are just some things like experiences and emotions and rollercoasters that I, myself have not been put in. So there are times, which I am not used to, that I just am not given any other choices but to keep silent. Not only becasue at times I don’t think I’m in a place to say anything but alsoe because, well, what is there or me to say? I don’t want to open my mouth and say something stupid so. You know what I mean?

Do tell me you opinions as this is getting too long. LOL. And thanks.

It is confirmed: I.Am.A.Fool.

Now why can’t I just do this? Act on it like a pussytat.

Cry For Help

At hindi yung kanta ni boy gwapong kano (Rick Astley) ang ibig kong sabihin. Maganda ang kanta, pero, ang blog na ito, makakapagbukas-isip, makakalungkot sa katotohanang mababasa sa bawat linya, isang inspirasyon, walang kwenta, pero sabayan mo na lang ako, pwede?

Isa-isang sinusunog ng mga “barbarok” ang ating mga barangay, mga barriong mumuntihin, kinakalat ang kawalang-katarungan sa mapapayapang tahanan ng ating mga kababayan. Mga paaralan, pangalawang tahanan ng ating kabataan, wasak! Pilipino, laban sa kapwa Pilipino. Kawalan ng pagkakaisa at pagkakaisahan laban sa mga inosente. Dahil sa ano? Relihiyon nga ba? Ang maputik na politiko ng ating bansa? Ang pagkaramot ng mga rebelde? Lahat ng ito, makikitang rason para sa kaguluhang nangyayari sa Pilipinas, lalo na sa Mindanao – perlas ng silanganan. Tahanan ng aking lahi. Nasisira. Naghihirap.

Sa panahon at sa pagpanguna ng nakaraang Presidente na si Fidel V. Ramos, ipinaligal ang mga Komunista sa ating bansa. Musmos pa ako ng nangyari yun. May dalawa ng presidenteng namuno pagkatapos ng paghari ni Ramos. Bakit hindi ibinalik ang katarungan? Isa tayong Republiko na nasyon. “Kung gusto nilang maging Komunista sa Republiko nating bansa, umalis sila at mangibang-pook sa Tsina, o kung saang Komunistang bansa meron.” ani ni Propesor Terror. May tama siya, mga kaibigan.

Nasakapangyarihan nina Gloria Macapagal (‘ang mukha’)-Arroyo at Joseph Ejercito “Erap, ‘nagpahirap sa mahirap‘” Estrada ang paglinas sana ng pagkaligal ng mga Komunista sa ating nayon. Bakit hindi nila ginawan ng paraan ‘yun nung meron pa silang pagkakataon? Meron tayong mga kapwa sanang Pilipino na walang ulirat ng nasyonalismo na nasa Konggreso, nasaan na ang inilaak na pork barrel para sa proyektong makakapaunlad ng at sa Pilipinas? Paano tayo makakasiguro na hindi tayo tinatalikuran at ipinapagkanulo ng mga nagpapalagay nating mga pinuno? Madali nating masasabi na may mga konggresista na taksil at namimili ng armas para sa mga MILF na yan!

Nasaan na ba ang mga ibinoto nating mga pinuno, na sana ay tumutulong sa atin ngayon? Sumosobra na ang pagkakait nila sa ating mga mamamayan, na walang-takdang kalayaan! Inaabuso na ng iba sa ating mga Pilipino ang Demokrasya! Demokrasyang ipinaglaban ng ating mga ninuno. Wala na ang pinaghirapang adhikaing inadhika nina Jose Rizal, Apolinario Mabini, Emilio Aguinaldo at iba pa! Nakatakas nga tayo sa kahirapang dulot ng mga Español at mga Hapon, nilalait at sinasaktan, pinipiga at inaapi naman tayo ng ating mga kababayan! Mga kababayang walang karapatang tawaging Pilipino!

Ipinapagyabang ko pa ang kapayapaan at kalinawan dito sa aking nayon, noon. Hindi ko na masasabi ito ngayon. Dapat ng itigil ang kababuyan! Palayain na nila tayo sa takot na tayo ang susunod na aatakihin ng mga “barbarians!” Alisin ang mga mararamot at makasariling tampalasan! Gisingin natin ang mga nabibilang na nilalamok na utak ng mga “pinuno” at mga impleyado ng Gobyerno. Ipag-alay ng dasal ang mga tapat nating mga sundalo.

Bigyan natin ang ating mga sarili ng rason para maawit ng buong puso ang Lupang Hinirang! Huwag nating hayaang baliktarin nila ang mga kulay ng ating bandila! Kapayapaan, ipagdasal natin mga kaibigan.

Having My Work Published

Yuss! Dumating na ang araw na nasa newspaper na ang gawa ko! Ang pawis ng aking dugo, ang dugo ng aking pawis, mababasa mo na ngayon sa pinakamalapit na estudyante galing sa ABC. Nasasabik naman ako masyado, sa susunod pa na linggo ipa-publish and Bonifacio Standard. Ipinakita sa amin ng aming consultant ang pagkabuo ng unag babasahi(tama ba ‘yon?) sa unang semestre ng 2008. Hindi ko natago ang galak! Parang gintong numiningning para sa akin ang papel. Nakatala doon ang pagkaporma ng tinta ng aking pangalan(ui epek, epek, uber). Ang una kong news article at ang aking unang feature article na pinamagatang “The Handkerchief” ay nakatiwasay(?) na sa para unang publishing.

Kinalimutan ko muna ang pag-alala sa isanlibo at dalawan-daang dyaryo na titiklupin para sa daan-daang mga estudyante sa departamento ng kolehiyo. Dahil ibinalik na ang Blue Quail na syang dyaryo para sa departamento ng mataas na paaralan, hindi na gaanong marami ang dyaryong ipiprinta.

Nasusubsob na ang oras ko sa pagkahati nito para sa Bonifacio Standard, Actors Clinic at sa Students’ Council. Abalang-abala ang lola nyo!

Xiet memeng!

Pero naaaliw naman ako, pinapakinabangan ko ang kalibangan na nagiginansya ko sa kay raming gawain at organisasyong sinamahan. Hindi na ako Criminology student ngayon, isa na akong representante ng unang baitang sa College of Education. Chhaaaarriiing! LOL

O siya, mag eensayo pa kami para sa party bukas, gigiling-giling si yours truly!

Good Luckens to me-ens.

**********

What’s the deal with the EXCESS EXES?

Akalain mo ba namang, hindi ko inakalang darating sa ganito ang sitwasyon? Endeh. Actually, tis be a lie. A lie. I have… este… *kah-mot sa ulo* Pasensya na, hindi umaandar radar ko sa Tagalog ngayon. Tsk, tsk. Parang, inasahan ko na ang ayaw kong asahan. Gets? hindi? Marami na tayo.

Siya ay makulit. Nakukulitan ka sa kanyang pagka-uber. Pagkalipas ng ilang buwan, abah! parang nawiwili ka na sa kagago/a-han nya. Inaasahan mu na yung kulitan. Wala na ang kunot sa iyong nuo – pinalitan na ng malaki at maningning na ngiti. Nakakasilaw, kinakailangang linisin gamit ang Zonrox… este, Ora Care. Pero may pakialam ka ba? Wala. Ang saya, saya, ika nga ni Ate Glow. Walang nakakasira sa araw mo pag nagkakausap kayo. Kilig. To da maxx. Super. Duper. Maaaaan.

Pero ngayon? Anong nangyari? Kumakaliwa kahit sa kanan sana pupunta, kumakanta ng malakas, sintunado, kesa sa naglalambingan. Nawala na ba ang isparks? Hindi na daw gumagana(?). Ungas daw ang relasyon. One sided? Unrequited? Hindi naman sana.

Nakakamiss hindi ba? kahit papano, may pinagsamahan na kayo. Sayang kung masisira lang. Pero ano nga bang gagawin ni me? sira na eh. Sinubukang ayusin, ayaw namang mag-paayos, sinubukang kausapin, ayaw din. Wala naman daw’ng ginawang masama, bukas naman ang “ship” ayaw eh. Ginawang eksklusibo, ayaw pa rin. Ailabyoo daw, pero umalis naman. Naman, naman, naman.

Kakainis talaga, oo. Ang nakakalupit eh yung mga kaibigan nyong dalawa, na kung sa Ingles ay tawaging, mutual friends, ay namimili na ng pinapakialamang dinidinig na panig. Sabi ko naman sa sarili ko, “Sarili. hindi ako papasok sa saligutgot.” ito naman kasing si kapuso, hindi pinakinggan si kautak. Sabi kasi, “ito na.” Dito tayo dapat magsimula sa pag ekis ng katakutan sa pag-katiwala ng ating mga damdamin *insert char here*. Pero, ALAS! Hinid yun ang nangyari.

Day/D’ung, kung saan ka man pupunta, nandoon ka.

… este… Kalaguyo, usap tayo.

…. I mean…. Please forgive me I know not what I do
Please forgive me I can’t stop lovin’ you
Don’t deny me

This pain I’m going through
Please forgive me
If I need ya like I do

See? lumalabas na ang mga Bryan Adams. Adams Apple. Eva. Steve. Rome. Juliet. at kung sino pa man. Ilang milya pa ba ang lalakbayin ng puso kong nagdurugo? Ilang bitwin pa bang aabutin ng kaluluwa kong durog?

Xiet Memeng!!!!!!

Lagooot! Parang Mais con yelo na ang dating ni lolo! Galing! LOL

Pagpasensiyaan nyo na. Kulang ng tulog. Hindi nakapag deposito sa inodoro. Nakakaloko.

Tuesday is Juiceday

What? May isa-suggest ka bang mas magandang title? No? Thought so. Iniways, napag-desisyunan kong juiceday ang Tuesday dahil? dahil ano? dahil umiinom lang ako ng juice tuwing Martes? hindi naman, anyday can be juiceday pero ala lang. Mejo nagmamadali fugly ko eh, yun ang pinakaunang nag pop.

Anong nangyaro ngayon at nagpost na naman lola niyo? Aba, maswerte ang Tuesday. Tatandaan ko ang araw na ito, May 20, 2008. Ang pinakamaswerte kong araw to date. Oh? syalso?! Una, gumising ako ng alas-nuebe ng umaga. Natapos akong maghanda para sa araw ng mga alas-diyes. Nakalimutan kong dalhin ang SP license ko sa NSO. Kinakailangan iyon para makuha ko iyung birth certificate ko na tatak NSO. Nawala iyong id ko nung hayskul kaya, wa me magawa kundi SP ang gamiting sandata sa digmaan ng yes or no.

Malas? bwahahahaha hindi. Swerte. Hindi ko na inayos ang buhok ko, isang haplos? lang Kay-oks na. Pagdating ko d’un, mataas na ang pila. Hindi ko alam kung sang pinuan ako papasok, buti na lanag at may ale na nakakaita sa resibo ko at pinagsabihan akong dumeretso sa counter. Hinarap ko iyung mama. Iyung boss nya pala iyung nasa likod. Pinag-hingan niya ako ng ID, sabi ko wala. Pinaghingan niya ako ng cedulla, wala rin. nagtanong siya kung bakit dalawa daw iyung kukunin kong birth certificate. Sabi ko, iyung isa sa kapatid ko, maliit pa kasi kayo ako nalang kukuha. Binigyan ko siya ng katiting na smile, churva. Hindi ko suot iyong eyeglasses ko pero naka sabit sa t-shirt ko kaya, kitang-kita Nilingon nya boss nya, tapos sabi nya, “sshh” kinuha nya iyung resibo na naka-staple sa BC at ibinigay sa akin. Huwag daw akong magsabi, amin lang daw iyon, sekreto. Tumpak! Ayos! Lusot!

10:15 am, about lang ha. Dumating na ako sa campus. naglakad ako patungo sa registrar’s office, controller’s, at treasurer’s. Ibinigay ko ang requirements sa SA na naka-assign sa office. Nagtanong siya kung san ang good morals ko. Sabi ko, nagpunta nako don nung isang araw at ang sabi sakin tsaka ang nakasulat sa statement of account. Pinagdasalan ko na na hindi pa ko hingan ng good moral. hindi ko na kasi maalala kung saang sulok ko na na-iwan ang papel. Tinignan niya lang ako, mga limang sigundo ang lumipas at ngumiti siya. Kinagat. Lusot part II. Nagpapirma ako sa registrar, una, parang may pinag-hihinalaan siyang mali, pinirmaan naman.

Nung hindi pa ako umabot sa office, sa paglalakad ko, may narirnig n akong sigaw. parang pangalan ko ang sinisigaw ng babae. Tila may sumasakal sa kanya, sa kaparehong takdang oras, parang may nasusunog na gusali at kinakailangan lang talaga niya ng tulong. Baguhan naman ako at wala pa masyadong kakilala, hindi ko pinansin ang nakakadurog-tengang hiyaw (bago yan ah wahaha)! Okupado palagi ang isipan ko kapag naglalakad. Hindi ko napansin na ang isa sa mga instructors ko pala ay naglalakad patungo Sci-tech, muntik na kaming nagkabanggaan. Actually muntik ko na siyang mabangga! nakapinutura ang aliw sa kanyang mukha. Nakakaaliw pala akong tignan na parang may nakalimutan, nag-iisip nang kunga ano-ano. Hay.. Napahinto ako at ng “hi” “good moning ma’am”, binati ko siya. She let out a chuckle and let me be. Before she totally left my sight, she nodded, “hi” na niya iyon, sabi ko sa sarili ko. Hindi nagtagal ng tatlong sigundo at nagsimula na naman ang tawagan. ngayon ay may kasabay nang boses ng lalaki. Ano ba?! lumingon ako. Hindi ko agad na mukhaan ang dalawang tao. Hindi ko pa suot ang eyeglasses ko. Agad kong sinuot, pagkatapos kumunot ang kilay.. ahh.. mga kaklase ko pala sa Algebra. Tinawag nila ko at inimbitahang sumama sa kanila pabalik sa building. Isinigaw ko naman ang tanggi. May sinabi pa ang dalawa, hindi ko na pinansin, may panahon pa akong bumayad, tsaka pag swerte, magpapapima ako sa controller.

(senxa nga pala sa order… ang ganda ng araw pero puyat pa rin akeh)

10:30 Algebra na. Late ako ng 4 minutes. Hindi dahil 4 minutes nalang ang natira para maligtas ko ang mundo. Hindi dahil kay Madonna. Mabagal pumirma iyung babae… lol. Ay nga pala, party namin bukas. Hindi ko ba alam kung bakit kami mag-fefarewell [arty, hindi ko nga halos kakilala mga kaklase ko, yung mga lalki lang na nasa likod, iyung mga “kriminal”. Magdadala ako ng dalawang loaves. Oo, bread. Huwag mo nang piliting ikutin sa akin ang Filipino version. Pandesal lang alam ko. Sorry na. hahaha?

All in all, marami akong lusot nung araw na yon. Binigay sa’kin nung mama ang birth certificate ko ng walang resibo, walang ID, walng nikenokucha. Anong ginawa ko? ala. Nag smile lang ako nangganito, tapos lumingon siya, sabi nya, “ssssssssshhhhhhh”. Tumangeh nalng fugly ko at nagpasalamat. Pati, bc ng kapatid ko nakiha ko pa. Take note, kids, walang make up. Walang kasuklay-suklay yung buhok kong…. hindi maganda tignan. Ang bait ng mama noh? Good samaritan? Baka nga.

I’m sure namiss mo? nyo? in yung mga isang dosenang dosena kong mga typos at grammatical errors. Hindi na ko Crminology ngayon.. bakit?

sa susunod, mga kapatid.
