BUNINAY

It’s almost a year since I’ve been away from home. How nice to say that I’m working my ass off to aid my family and to build my own career. I’m not the eldest yet I feel like one. It’s probably a trait, not a responsibility. I’m happy, though, as long as I don’t feel any pressure. But don’t talk about having to miss family gatherings, viewing tagged family pictures where I wasn’t even there, chatting with your parents and seeing and hearing them cry because they miss you. It gives me the sh*t, ok? Homesick, indeed, but I’m strong enough to endure it. I’m definitely enjoying. Add the fact that I get to do whatever, whenever, buy the things I want, party for some time like there’s no tomorrow, and travel as a tourist. Until I remember her. More that the length of my stay here was how long we’ve been apart. Not just physically but you-know-what. Do I miss her? Let’s see. After the “US”, I’ve come across a couple of girls whom I was able to have a relationship with. The last was decent, y...

Dad, Nene & I went to South Supermarket for a little grocery. Dad just sat on the waiting area, managing to fight his  antok.  So, it's Nene and I to do the picking out and paying. I had the list, Nene had the cart. Sabi nya, " O, anong una? " Hahaha! As if she was the  ate  and I was the little sissy. The whole time we were doing the searching and picking, it was her who leads the way. All I did was enumerate, check and pay. She even reminded me how mom wants the grocery items to be packed. :D Oh, kids! They learn too quick, too early. I love  Nene  and I'm one proud ate. :)

Sunday August 8, 1999 Napakasaya ko ngayong araw na ito. Unang-una dahil nakapasimba ako at naintindihan ko ang ebanghelyo. Pangalawa, lumabas kami ng mga mommy para kumain at nagpagupit siya sa David’s Salon. Pangatlo, ibibili na raw ako ng mommy ng bag. Hello Kitty pa nga eh at sa Big Ben daw kami bibili. At ang pinakanakapagpasaya sa akin ay nakita ko si Xxxxxx  ng maraming beses. Pauli-uli siyang nagba-bike at tumigil pa nga siya sa tapat namin dahil sumakay ang kapatid o pinsan niya ata ‘yon. Napapansin ko na kapag nakatingin ako sa kanya eh napapatingin rin siya sa akin ng hindi sinasadya. Kapag naman napapatingin ako sa kanya eh nakatingin siya sa akin at tumatagal. Bakit kaya? Hindi naman ako nage-expect na crush niya ako. Pero kung ganon man eh sana may sign na crush niya nga ako. Halimbawa, may itatanong siya sa akin or babatiin kaso nga lang eh magagawa ba naman niya iyon? Nakalaro ko na naman siya sa playstation, nakatabi at nakausap kaya siguro hindi na siya mahihiya p...

Price Tag - Acoustic Cover Evan and I have been jamming even before. But this is the first to be publicized. No shame now, minsan lang eh! Hahaha! Happy singing along! :)

Ako si Tukay. Kung hindi Reena, Buninay o Ninay ang tawag sa’kin, Tukay ang isa ko pang palayaw. Mangilan-ngilan lang ang tumatawag sa’kin ng ganyan, at lahat ay mga maedad na lalaki, mga kumpare ng daddy ko. TUKAY. Ba’t nga ba Tukay? Eh kasi daw anak ni Tukoy, palayaw ng daddy ko, si Benedicto Carandang. Benedicto to Toxie to Tukoy. Pati palayaw nag-e-evolve! :D Anyway, napaka-obvious na naman siguro kung bat ako tinawag na Tukay. Bukod sa siya ang tatay ko, siya din ang daw ang kamukha ko, complexion pa lang, katalo na! Kung mapapagkumpara ang features ng mukha namin, masasabi mo talagang “No doubt! Anak nga siya ni Toxie!” Kapag nga nasa isang lugar ako, bigla-bigla na lang may tititig sa aking ale o mama na hindi ko naman kakilala, sabay magtatanong, “Anak ka ga ni Tukoy?” Nung una, opo lang ang isinasagot ko, tanda ng paggalang. Pero ngayong malaki na’ko, opo pa rin naman pero sa loob-loob ko, gusto kong sabihing, “Obvious po ba?” :)) Ilan lang ang nare-recall kong memories namin...

Home alone? Lazy to cook? Or worse, nothing to cook? I was, yesterday. And because of the freaking hot weather, I didn't wanna go out. It was almost lunch time and I was still wearing my pantulog . So I decided to just order from McDonald's. But since we have no landline and it's costly to call them from a mobile phone, I tried the web way. It was fun and easy! I just went to http://www.mcdelivery.com.ph/ , registered, confirmed my account thru my e-mail then poof! Menu on my screen! But before ordering, this popped out: This is where the fun part comes, you get to create your own avatar. Since I'm no weirdo (only at rare times :P), my avatar was just simple me-ish me. Look! Ok! I know it's really ME-ish. Good thing they had "skin chooser"! Haha! And look at my avatar's eyes, that pair really tells it's me, agree? :P Now, if you're the CRAZIE type (which I will be, probably on my next time), you can choose the out-of-nowhere avatars: Now, back ...
