atsay ng mundo

Yahoo pahinga na naman bukas dahil labor day. Sigurado katakot takot na welga na naman ang magaganap niyan bukas. Lagi naman kasing ganyan kapag labor day, magmamartsa papuntang malakanyang ang mga mangagawa, hihingi ng dagdag na suweldo, magkakaasaran sila ng mga itinalagang anti riot squad at bobombitin ng mga nakabantay na bumbero. Tapos ang isang araw.

wala nang tao sa sta. filomena

Buwakanavitz ang lakas pa rin ng flashback ko sa boracay, parang puro yun na lang ang gustong kong pag-usapan. Sabagay hindi mo naman ako masisisi, kasi talaga namang kapag napunta ka sa lugar na iyon ay parang ayaw mo nang umuwi. Bukod kasi sa payapa sa paningin ang lugar, nakakawala pa ng stress. Neweis, buti na lang at biglang napadpad sa kabilang ibayo namin nung isang gabi si manong joey ayala kasama ang bagong lumad band at hinila pa niya sa lolita carbon ng asin. Nagkaroon sila ng konserto para sa kalikasan at baka maisalba pa daw ang namamatay ng ilog sa naturang lugar. Halos bumalik sa isip namin ang awitin ng aming panahon at ang katumbas na kapsulang nilunok namin nung mga panahong iyon nang kantahin ni ate lolit ang mga pamoso niyang awitin. Nagulat na lang ako nang sabayan nang mga nanonood na sa tingin ko ay nasa edad kuwarenta na pataas, ang kanyang awiting "masdan mo ang kapaligiran". Nanayo tuloy ang mga balahibo naming magtrotropa, habang pinapanood namin sila sa di kalayuan kung saan ay may baon kaming isa at kalahating kahong malamig na serbesa. Muntik ko namang mabitawan ang hawak kong serbesa nang kantahin ni manong joey ang "agila". Halos ayaw silang pauwiin nung mga nanonood kahit inawit na nila lahat ang mga komposisyon nila. Ubos na rin nga yung baon naming serbesa pero ayaw pa ring magsiuwi ng tao. Sayang nga lang at hindi nila kinanta sa encore yung-hotel california.

boracay day 5-april 22, 2008

This is my last “gig” at the famous resort and I’m scared shitless (from CSNY’s intermission speech at Woodstock concert-some words were altered for my own security) and ayoko nang umuwi. I spent my last day at the resort writing my journals. Yes there are wifi connections here and they are free of charge (at least dun sa hotel na tinuluyan ko). I was not able to eat my complimentary breakfast today, because I wanted to swap that breakfast for two more months stay at the resort, but the management doesn’t want to give me what I wanted. I even sang One More Night by Phil Collins, to all the staff but that too didn’t work. Anyway five days and four nights was a big help, narecharge na naman ako and I can face the reality again with a smile and a positive outlook in life even for a while, (mga buwakang ina ninyong ingetero, back stabber, chismoso and the likes, magkaubos na sana kayo). Now I’m just wondering, why do I have to work my way to death and don’t want to spend a single centavo to pamper myself. No not me, its not me, I can spend even up to the last centavo in my pocket just to enjoy a simple pleasure that god had given us. And what a coincidence, as I am waiting for my service to pick me up in the hotel, I chanced upon a rerun of the movie Pursuit of Happiness while sipping my last ice cold beer in can in the comfort of my hotel room situated in the beautiful island of…BORACAY!

boracay day 4-april 21, 2008

she refused to be photographed afraid of reprisal, but Edna's the name

a tirta staff and my very privy trusted close-in security

great find in the middle of boracay

you cannot enjoy your vacation without your friends in tow

I took a motor cab and instructed the driver to bring me to Tirta which is located at Brgy. Manoc-Manoc, a stone’s throw away from their fire station. Upon arriving at the said place, I find out that it was still closed because I came there too early. Sayang I had already broke na my piggybank named after the famous spa (short for salus per aquam-meaning health through water) . I wanted to experience kasi their first class service and enjoy the place. Then I went back at Dmall to confirm my flight back to manila (waaa malapit na akong umuwi, ayoko nang bumalik sa manila) on Tuesday. After which, i headed to a massage parlor (a real one, not a prostitution front) between Waling-Waling and Nigi Nigi and have myself fixed by Edna, an all around masahista. Mine's was a combination of Shiatsu (no acupuncture please), Aromatheraphy (i loved that effleurage stroke), Thai, Swedish and the usual hilot kalye, the best, nakatulog yata ako. The price? P500 for an hour of happiness. Not to waste the remaining vacation at boracay, I headed again to the beach with ice cold beer in can (P30.00) and a box of crispy pata (P310) from andoks. While sipping my ice cold beer, my xxx mind flew every time a beautiful sexy girl in their two piece suit passes by. Whatalife.

I started my day eating the complimentary breakfast. This time I chose the American and the Pinoy’s own sinangag (fried rice) with tawilis (small fish). After eating, I went straight to the poolside to do my mantra (nagtoothpick). Then I dived in to the inviting clear waters of the swimming pool. Next in my itinerary is to visit Puka Beach and eat at the nearby ihaw-ihaw. The water was clear and there were only a handful of people in the Beach. After spending some precious moments at the beach, I headed back to my hotel room to clean up. Lunch time was spent on my newly discovered carinderia at the Dtalipapa who cooks your freshly bought seafood (and any other food for that matter) at the nearby market for a fee. This time I bought tiger prawns (again), tilapia and liempo for lunch. Its ho-hum time again so I dozed up at my hotel room to recharge. Nighttime, I was at the Dmall again and girl watching. Moments later after my girl watching trance was finished I finally went at Hama Japanese cuisine and ordered their famous traditional shabu-shabu.

boracay day 2-April 19, 2008

I woke up early as I always did and smelled the boracay morning breeze. I then prepared myself for my early walk before I proceeded to the beautiful white sand beach. It’s my habit to walk very early when I’m out of town because I want to see the beauty of the morning in every place I visit. Morning is the best time to visit and appreciate the beauty of boracay because there are few people on the beach and on the Dmall. After hours of brisk walking (or is it Dmalling?), I returned to my rented suite and ate my complimentary American breakfast. If you’re a camera buff, boracay is also one of the places where you can enjoy your hobby. It’s very picturesque, even amateur shutterbugs (like me) will get a nice result whenever you click your toy, not to mention having your souvenir shot at willy’s rock, the Eiffel tower of the island. Another thing to do when you’re on the island is girl watching. There are a lot of helluva sexy girls out here in their very short shorts, killer two piece attire and some very brave almost topless works of arts. Some say you have not been to boracay if you don’t get yourself laid (it’s a must), a henna tattoo, braided hair and drunken overdose on the shoreline, but there’s always the warning or the saying that whatever you do in boracay leave it in boracay. Lunch time, I went to Dtalipapa, the market that sells everything from fresh seafoods, meat and souvenir items if you’re on a shoestring budget. I bought some tiger prawns and milkfish and then let some guys cook it for me (for a fee, of course; there’s no such thing as freebies, you hacker). Nighttime here is one hell of a party. You can choose a place to your liking, chill-out sound, folk or reggae music, plain kabaklaan or the in-betweens. I chose to go to one of my favorite places - Bom Bom, because of the relaxed atmosphere and the music. After downing some ice cold beer (pilsen not lights please) and spending a few hours at Bom-Bom, I tried my luck at Cocomangas (not you idiot, I’m not looking for some quickie one) where you can find some of the party pipol dancing the night away, that is if you’re still standing after 15. Then after two more ice cold beer in can (banlaw na), I call it a day or is it morning na pala.

boracay day 1-april 18, 2008

me and my buraot (close-in security) at pearl of the pacific maharlika suite (beachfront yan baduy)

willy's rock

ariba andale ariba

Ngayon lang ako nakaranas ng eroplanong sira ang aircondition. Saan ka ba naman makakakita ng eroplano na isinakay na lahat kaming mga pasahero ay hindi pa rin binubuksan ang aircon. Ang dahilan, hintayin daw munang lumipad bago buksan ang aircon kasi baka hindi daw makaya nung makina. Ano ito bus?, sabagay kaya pala airbus ang tawag sa eroplano nila. Pero madali namang nawala ang konsumisyon ko sa eroplano dahil ilang minuto lang ay natanaw ko na ang.....BORACAY!!!

After arriving in caticlan, the first thing I did was to kiss the tarmac for arriving safe and sound. Then I claimed my baggage and made sure to board on the first available sailboat on the way to the island of boracay. Pearl of the pacific’s maharlika suite was superb with one queen size bed and another one if you’re an orgy fanatic. Once you open the sliding door, you will be treated with a picturesque of the beautiful white beach. There’s only one glitch; the bathroom doorknob needs to be repaired, but that’s not a problem to me; I am used to taking a bath with my bathroom door open (kasi my bathroom back home is a public toilet in one of the gasoline station). When my initial oohhhs and ahhss had died down, I dashed out of my room and jumped to the cool and inviting water of the white beach. Then as everyone said when in boracay, “THE PARTY HAD JUST STARTED”.

Cocomangas, here I come. Red Pirates, hohoho. Beachcomber…where’s the chick. Dmall, I want to eat more. The hobbit house, no tall order please. Cyma, Gassoff, Hey Jude. Its chill out time.

another day

I woke up early today, intentionaly if you would like to call it and i'm feeling fine. Nope, not because it's friday the 18th but because this is the start of my weeklong vacation. And when i say vacation, that means i dont have to worry about traffics, road rages, kotong traffic enforcers (we have lots of them), road maniacs (we also have lots of them). Now i can sit and relax my butt the whole day without thinking of my fucking officemates (they have hearts too mind you), my daily reports and talking and chatting to assholes. (you know who you are). In short its work free weekend....to be continued...

rain- i dont mind

Bakit kaya biglang umulan ngayong kainitan ng panahon. Ito na nga kaya ang simula ng tag-ulan? pero hindi pa tapos ang tag-init. Bigla tuloy akong nag "gagels" (ika nga nung isang kakilala ko) kung ano ang lagay ng panahon sa loob ng isang linggo, ang resulta, puro maulap at manaka nakang tag-ulan hanggang biyernes. Buset sana naman ay hindi totoo ito at alam ko namang medyo nagloloko ang makinarya na pinamana ni mang ernie sa pag-asa. Handang handa pa naman ako at tapos ko nang iempake yung mga gamit ko para sa bakasyon grande ko sa taong ito. Pinayagan kasi ako ng mga intel bossing ko na magpahinga muna sa trabaho dahil napuna nila na kinakausap ko na raw yung luma kong typewriter. Kaya Ambo please, puede ba, por pabor. Magkano na kaya ang isang dosenang itlog ngayon sa parking lot ng Monasterio de Sta. Clara.

19th nervous breakdown

Waaaa hindi ako makaconcentrate sa isusulat ko, panay kasi ang tahol ko, hindi naman ako naulanan dahil tag init naman ngayon. Ang huli kong natatandaan ay tumira lang kami kanina ng tig apat na malamig na serbesa ni utol hapang pinapangas yung natirang crispy pata na pulutan din namin kagabi. Hindi naman siguro nakaka ubo yung maanghang na ginataang gulay na puno ng seafoods na pinulutan din namin. Ano kaya ang dahilan bakit bigla akong nagtatahol?. Newey, para maiwasan ko nang magtatahol ay minabuti ko na lang na tignan yung mga hubung site sa internet, o di nalimutan kong masakit na pala ang lalamunan ko kakahawak sa bird ko, ang labo.

heat wave

Hanep yung init kahapon, halos matusta ang yagbols ko sa sobrang init. Kaya siguro tumaas ang bilang ng mga nadidisgrasya, dahil na rin sa sobrang init. Ang maganda lang talaga kapag ganitong super init ay nakababad ka sa tubig, kahit saan, kahit sa malaking batya lang para mapukaw natin ang sobrang init. Hindi na natin kailangang lumayo pa para makaramdam tayo ng kaunting lamig. Ang mahalaga ay may ice cold beer lang tayong naka-stock sa ref natin para kapag nakaramdam ng kaunting init, bukas agad ng isang bote at sabay babad sa batya, solb.

summer holiday

Its been three days now since i started searching for a place to spend my vacation. First in my list is bora, the beautiful island south of manila. Then there was the Batanes island because i dreamed of eating coconut crab again. Bohol? oh another beautiful place to see and spend some lazy afternoons after eating your lunch while cruising the loboc river. How about Cebu? yes i always remember this place for their beautiful guitar and very nice girls. In my short list of places i wanted to visit and with the help of my buraots, they all chorused that boracay is the place to be seen this summer. I googled the place, accommodation and their rates. Some are very reasonable, especially if you are a foreigner. I almost puke at the rates (some are daily and others are on per person basis). I'm just wondering, is there any government program that allow "local pagpag eater tourist" like me to avail a very big discount so that we can also visit those beautiful places in the Philippines. Because if i would be able to travel outside our country and some locals there would ask me if i had been to some of the beautiful places in the Philippines, i will look straight on their face and answer them a big NO. Then i will explain to them that my countryman has all the rights to visit our countryside but cannot afford to do so because its very costly for us locals.

Tip: If you cannot afford boracay in aklan, why not opt for poracay in pampangga or burakay in reclamation area instead. And i tell you, it's very affordable for us pagpag eaters. Don't forget your Gins.
