Monday
Sobrang nakaka-stress, kasi Christmas party namin sa QC, tapos galing pa kaming Parañaque. Stressed kami kakahintay sa girls dahil nagpa-blower pa sa parlor bago pumunta sa party. Kaibigan pala ng boss ko si Paolo Avelino. Tinawag ako para magpa-picture kami. Hindi ko siya kilala that time kasi di naman ako nanonood ng TV. Sino 'yon? Si Paolo Avelino daw sa ABS-CBN. Di ko siya kilala e. Nung i-Google ko, nalaman ko na magkasunod pala kami ng birthday. May 13 siya. Ako May 14. Nakauwi ako sa Parañaque ng 4AM. Plakda.
Tuesday
Off ko. Nagising ako ng 10AM, nanood ng movie sa laptop. 2PM, nag-bike ako from Parañaque papunta sa house namin sa Tondo. Grabe. Dalawang oras pala ang biyahe. Pagdating doon, ni-raid ko ang ref. Kain ng ubas, Chips Ahoy, tsitsiriya, pancit canton, at nakipag-bonding sa mga pamangkin at mga inaanak. Siningil kaagad ako ng mga inaanak. Cash na lang daw na pang-Star City. Pag binigay ko 'yon, quits na? Oo daw. Pabor. Di na ko mahihirapan mag-shopping. Abot kaagad ng cash. Wag niyo na itanong kung magkano. Bike ulit ng dalawang oras pabalik ng Parañaque. Kala ko di ko kakayanin. Nakauwi din ng 11PM, tapos nagpamasahe sa bahay.
Wednesday
Pasok sa work. Lethargic. Kulang sa tulog. Gusto mag-blog-hopping, pero di kaya. Kasi antok at masakit pa ang katawan sa ginawang pagba-bike. Pahinga muna. Busy sa Thursday (opening ng Puregold na katabi namin, baka maraming guests), Friday (Christmas party ulit), at Saturday (may pasok, tapos uuwi pa sa Tondo para doon mag-celebrate ng Christmas Eve, at babalik sa Parañaque ng madaling araw kasi may pasok kinabukasan).
Nood muna ako ng movie tapos tulog na. Makakapagbasa rin ako ng ibang blogs sa mga susunod na araw.
Batiin ko na rin kayo. Merry Christmas, and remember: Christmas is not about gifts.

My Rail Transit Bloopers
Kakabasa ko lang ng post ni Yodz, kaya naalala ko ang mga bloopers ko sa LRT at MRT. Bloopers kung English, katangahan kung Tagalog.
Wala pang MRT noong 1985. LRT pa lang, at tokens pa ang gamit. In na in ang "working students," kaya nakiuso na rin ako. Batang-bata at gwapong-gwapo pa ako noon (talagang isiningit). Server ako sa Shakey's noon sa Greenbelt sa Makati Avenue, tapat ng Landmark. Wala pa ang Landmark noon. Wala na rin ang Shakey's Greenbelt ngayon. Sumasakay ako ng LRT galing Tayuman at bumababa ako sa Buendia Station. One time na pagsakay ko ng LRT, di ko napansin na nakahawak pala ako sa hamba ng pinto. Naipit yung mga daliri ko sa goma ng pinto nung sumara ang mga iyon. Sobrang higpit pala non pag nakasara at hindi ko mahila ang kamay ko, kaya tiniis ko ang sakit hanggang next station. Bumakat sa mga daliri ko yung goma ng pinto ng LRT. Akala ko nga e hindi na matatanggal yung mga bakat. Feeling ko talaga noon e napaka-eng-eng ko.
Fast forward to 2001. Kakabalik ko lang ng Manila pagkatapos mamalagi sa probinsiya namin sa Palawan (talagang isiningit din) ng anim na taon. Pagbili ko ng token, card ang ibinigay sa akin. Ipinasok ko sa slot, at pagsakay ko ng tren e tiningnan ko ng maige yung ticket. Ang ganda. Mag-iipon ako nito, sabi ko sa sarili ko. Inilagay ko pa sa loob ng wallet ko. Pagdating sa station, nagmamadali pa akong bumaba ng tren at diretso doon sa exit. Kablag! Aruguy! Bakit hindi umikot yung bakal? Isa pa. Kablag ulit. Aruguy ulit. Ipasok ko daw yung ticket, sabi nung mamang kasunod ko. Hiyang-hiya ako noon kasi feeling ko, siyanong-siyano ako, e sa Manila naman ako lumaki.
2008. Sa Edsa Central ang work ko, kaya connecting na tren ang sakay ko. From Tayuman, LRT hanggang EDSA, tapos MRT Taft papuntang Edsa Central. Ganoon din ang pauwi. Sa madaling salita, LRT-MRT ako papasok, MRT-LRT ako pauwi. One evening na pauwi ako, e di sumakay ako ng MRT. Tuwing sumasakay ako ng MRT sa umaga e natataon na yung nasa bandang kanan na tren ang nasasakyan ko papuntang Edsa Central. Pag pauwi naman e sa kaliwa pumaparada. One time na pabalik ako galing ng Edsa Central, tinambayan ko yung pintuan sa bandang kanan, para pag-park ng MRT sa Taft, makakalabas kaagad ako para mauna sa escalator. Ang kaso mo, nung bumukas at sumara yung pintong tinambayan ko sa Magallanes Station ay naipit yung likod ng barong ko sa pinto. At pagdating ng Taft station, sa kanan pumarada yung tren, kaya yung pintuan ko e hindi bumukas. Yung pinto sa kaliwa ang bumukas. Patay. Di ako makaalis. Sinubukan ko'ng hilahin yung barong pero parang mapupunit, kaya di ko na pinilit. Gusot mayaman yon e. Ang ginawa ko e dedma. Nagkunwari akong magra-round trip at hinintay kong makaalis ulit yung tren para sa Magallanes station ako bababa. Ang kaso lang, maluwag pa ang mga upuan, at ako lang ang nakatayo. Dedma. Pagdating sa Magallanes at sumakay ulit doon pabalik ng Taft. Bakit ba hindi ko naisip na pwede rin pala pumarada sa kanan yung tren e dulo nga pala ang MRT Taft? At mabuti na lang ay hindi last trip yung nasakyan ko, kundi ay baka sa MRT ako natulog...ng nakatayo.
Kung nahilo ka sa kwento ko, e, mas nahilo ako'ng magkwento. At saka wag mo nang kwentahin ang edad ko. Ang masasabi ko lang, isa ako sa mga pinakamatandang blogger dito sa Pilipinas.

My Christmas Wish List and Then Some
Here is my Christmas 2011 wish list. Partial pa lang ito, kasi ngayon pa lang ako nag-iisip kung ano talaga ang gusto ko.
A male Jack Russell puppy.
I went to Cartimar Pasay this afternoon to buy some accessories for my MTB. Sinilip ko rin mga pet shops doon. I fell in love with the Jack Russell, especially yung isa doon male puppy na may maliit na black spot sa left side, then white na lahat. Kaya lang walang papers. P8500 negotiable. May nakita rin ako with papers, female, and hindi ko siya gusto kasi parang maldita. The current market price of Jack Russell is 15k to 18k, with papers.
Speaking of Cartimar, sarap pala mag-shopping doon. Hindi masikip, walang pila, daming sale. Nadala akong pumunta ng Baclaran. Kasi pupunta sana ako sa house namin sa Tondo nung Sunday, and sabi ko ayokong dumaan sa Divisoria, so I would take the LRT from Baclaran. Kaasar doon kasi andaming tao. Tapos yung papunta sa LRT station, e ang layo-layo ng lalakarin mo. Ok lang sana maglakad ng malayo kung lakad na hardcore. E kaso mo, hindi lang baby steps na lakad yung nangyari sa akin doon e. Imagine moving your feet ng pakala-kalahati. Ganoon. Three blocks na ganoong lakad. Tapos meron pang tulak nang tulak. Tapos meron pang di kanais-nais na amoy nung nasa unahan mo. It took me almost 30 minutes to reach the LRT station. Di na ako dadaan doon ulit. Pero babalik ako sa Cartimar. Nakabili ako ng original Oakley basketball shorts for P100. Old stock daw yon. Ok na pang MTB or pambahay. Kung ayaw mo ma-stress sa pag-shopping, doon ka mamili.

Winnie Monsod - Gloria Arroyo's Wealth -Impossible!!!
Certainly her salary as President, which is P60,000 a month or P720,000 a year, cannot justify such an increase.
One should also eliminate from the equation possible gains from stock market trading because unless she or her stockbroker are trading geniuses, making the kind of killing she would have to make to justify her net worth increases would be very improbable because of the stock market decline in 2008.
Thus, she would have to show very large increases in her other income which would be most naturally attributed to the income of her spouse. This, she still has not done.
Actually the Philippines has very strict laws that if implemented properly, would show unexplained wealth and possible graft and corrupt practices by government officials right away.
Our 1987 Constitution mandates it.
And previous to that, there is RA 1379, passed way back in 1955, which provides that... Whenever any public officer or employee has acquired during his incumbency an amount of property which is manifestly out of proportion to his salary as such public officer or employee and his other lawful income and the income from legitimately acquired property, said property shall be presumed prima facie to have been unlawfully acquired.
Note that the burden of proof is on the public officer: he has to show that he has lawfully acquired the property.
The presumption of innocence does not apply here; and if the judge is not satisfied with the explanation, he will declare the property in question forfeited to the State.
Then there is RA 3019, passed in 1960 and known as the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, which requires every government officer and employee to file every year a SALN, including a statement of the amounts and sources of his income, the amounts of his personal and family expenses, and the amount of income taxes paid for the next preceding calendar.
Finally, there is RA 6713 passed in 1989 also known as the Code of Conduct for government employees which gives all the details for filing the SALN, when and where to file, who to file it with, who is supposed to be the repository agency, and what are the penalties for non-filing; and this law includes the fact that the SALN is public information available to any taxpayer.
In spite of all these safeguards and laws, however, we all know that the Philippines' performance with regard to reducing corruption has been miserable.
The very fact that it was a media organization, the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism, that researched and analyzed the President's SALN, instead of the Office of the Ombudsman, gives us a clue.
Another clue is given by the data shown in a paper presented to an international conference in Jakarta in 2007 by Deputy Ombudsman Pelagio Apostol: Between 2002 and 2007, the average number of complaints filed yearly with the Ombudsman for failure to file a true and detailed SALN was 27; the average number of complaints filed for forfeiture of unexplained wealth was 15.
Compared with the 1.4 million employees who file SALN yearly, the proportion is negligible.
The message that comes out loud and clear in all this is that the agencies that are repositories of the SALN, particularly the Ombudsman, don't seem to know what to do with the reports they get, or don't have either the time or the inclination to do what must be done.
The Office of the Ombudsman should be monitoring the President and Vice President, as well as the chairmen and members of the Constitutional Commissions.
Why didn't it blow the whistle on the President's seemingly unexplained wealth?
The Ombudsman created a much-publicized SALN data bank three years ago and the public should be told exactly what is being done to all these computerized records.
Instead, they just seem to wait for complaints to be filed by the public and act only then.
What a pity. Can we do anything about this? Yes.
First, we can make sure that the persons we elect to leadership positions have no reputation for kurakot.
Second, that they do not choose cronies to fill up important positions, but rather choose the most qualified for the job.
And third, we must also make sure that we are ready to file complaints against government officials who are living beyond their means we have to be a nation of whistleblowers.
That is what the times call for. We must heed that call.
In other words, it is really up to us.

Sleeping Beauty
Katatapos ko lang panuurin neto.
Ang naisip ko lang habang pinapanood ko yung movie, sana makahanap ako ng ganoong klaseng trabaho. Malaki ang bayad. Patutulugin ako, wala akong malay kahit ano ang gawin sa akin, basta bawal ang penetration at bawal mag-iwan ng marka sa katawan ko. Kumikita ka habang natutulog ka.
Slow paced ang movie, pero hindi boring. May nudity, pero hindi bastos.
Panoorin niyo ito.
*May detailed review dito, pero pag binasa mo, parang pinanood mo na rin ang pelikula.

Breakfast Dec 11, 2012
Nagsaing ako mga 2 cups rice. HIndi ako nagsasaing ng maramihan. Kadalasan ay pang isang meal lang. Nung painin na yung kanin, pinatong ko yung hotdog and egg. Tapos iniwan ko ng mga 20 mins habang nagbabasa ako ng mga blogs.
Pagkatapos ko magbasa at manonood na ng movie (Sleeping Beauty), nilagay ko sa isang malaking mangkok yung kanin, pinatong yung hotdog at binalatang itlog. Walah!!! Breakfast na.
Mahilig ako kumain sa mangkok na malaki. Very convenient, lalo na pag wala kang kasabay kumain. Ilagay ang kanin at ulam, halu-haluin, dalhin kahit saan: sa kama, sa harap ng computer, sa sofa. Pwede ka mag-multi-tasking habang kumakain.
Kakabasa ko lang ng Biggest Loser Diet. Gagawin ko yan. Baka bukas.
Ngapala, meron akong Spanish sardines sa ref. Pang-emergency, hindi lang kung walang ulam, kundi pati pag kulang ang ulam.
That's all, Folks! Nood na ng Sleeping Beauty habang download ng Creepshow 1, 2, and 3.

at ako din ay naguguluhan kung bakit hanggang ngayon hindi pa napaparusahan ang ibang mga naging miyembro ng gabinete ni GMA noong pangulo pa siya......ayos din ang blog mo...may portion ng parang isumbong mo kay Tulfo,hehe...
Sagot ni Kuya:
Arvin U. de la Peña,
Kung naguguluhan ka, mas naguguluhan ako dahil hindi ko lubos maisip kung bakit nais mong pagparausan ang mga miyembro ng gabinete ni GMA. Pasensiya na at pag medyo gabi na ay lumalabo ang aking mga mata.

Isumbong Mo Kay Kuya Response 1
Maraming salamat kay Acre of Diamond, ang pinakaunang nag-comment sa Isumbong Mo Kay Kuya Portion ng blog kong Call Me Rence. Para sa inyong mga nais sumangguni ng inyong mga suliranin, katanungan, magpapahula, at magpapautang, dalawin si Kuya at mag-comment.
Comment galing kay Acre of Diamond:
Dear kuya,
Plano kong gumulong lang dito ngayong gabi pero iba ang tumambad sa akin.Ganon pa man asahan mong susulat ako sayo pag akoy naguguluhan.
ang nagmamahal
Acre of Diamond
Sagot ni Kuya:
Dear Acre of Diamond,
Maraming salamat sa iyong pagtitiwala. Hindi ko ipinapangako na ikaw ay maliliwanagan kapag ikaw ay sumulat tungkol sa kung ano man ang gugulo sa iyong isipan, bagkus ay baka lalo ka pang maguluhan.
At salamat sa pagmamahal. Lab yu tu.
Sumasaakin,
Kuya
Follow-up na sangguni ni Acre of Diamond:
Dear Kuya,
Ako po ay naguguluhan at nalulungkot ngayon. Napakasakit kuya ang dahilan may umutang at mukhang wala ng planong magbayad Sa dahilang mukhang nagka amnesia na kuya ano ang gagawin ko. Ganon pa man naliwanagan na at masaya na dahil sa iyong sulat.
Ang mas lalong napapamahal sayo.
Acre of Diamond
Sagot ni Kuya:
Dear Acre of Diamond,
Naiintidihan ko kung bakit ka naguguluhan at nalulungkot ngayon. Talagang masakit ang mautangan at hindi mabayaran. Kung talagang wala nang planong magbayad ang nagkakautang sa iyo, hindi ka na dapat maguluhan. Dahil maliwanag pa sa sikat ng araw na ikaw ay na-wantutri. Huwag ka nang malungkot, dahil kahit pa magkano ang inutang na walang planong ibalik sa iyo, asahan mo na ito ay tutubo sa puwet niya. Kung gaano kalaki ang hindi binayaran, ganon din kalaki ang tutubo.
Maaari ding nalulungkot ka dahil na-realize mo na ang halaga ng pagkakaibigan niya ay katumbas lamang ng kanyang inutang sa iyo. Ang cheap niya at wala siyang kwenta. Marami ka pang pwedeng maging kaibigan. Mga kaibigang hindi mangungutang sa iyo, at pahahalagahan ka dahil sa taglay mong kabaitan at kagwapuhan. Kung maaari ay kalimutan na ang inutang sa iyo, at lalo pang magsikap upang mabawi ito sa pamamagitan ng sarili mong kakayahan, talino, at karisma. Iyan ang tinatawag na moving on.
Hanggang dito na lamang. Mahal na mahal kita.
Akinkanalang,
Kuya

Gory Movie: The Human Centipede 1 and 2
Napanood ko yung The Human Centipede at ang sequel nito, The Human Centipede 2. Nag-download ako ng mga movies na ito matapos kong mabasa ang isang review, di ko matandaan kung saan.
Colored yung una at black and white naman ang pangalawa. Nung una akala ko dahil good copy lang yung na-download ko na second movie. Nung malapit na matapos yung 2nd movie ay naintindihan ko kung bakit ginawang black and white 'yon. Baka 'di ko kinaya kung colored yon.
Panoorin mo ito kung bored ka lang at naghahanap ng pandidirihan.
Katangahan ng characters factor: tolerable
Ang gory factor?
Clue: Don't eat while watching the movie. Pwede rin kain ka bago manood para may maisuka ka. Pwede rin huwag ka kumain before watching the movie, but I doubt kung makakain ka AFTER watching the movie. Enjoy watching. =)
I was eating the whole time I was watching the two movies. Ganon ata katibay ang sikmura ko.

Hawak-Kamay by Yeng Constantino
I became a fan of Yeng Constantino when I watched this video. Yes, I cry everytime I view it again. Happy birthday, Yeng. This is for you.
Hawak-Kamay
written and sung by Yeng Constantino
Minsan madarama mo kay bigat ng problema
Minsan mahihirapan ka at masasabing “di ko na kaya”
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
O, di kaya ako'y tawagin
Malaman mong kahit kailan
Hawak-kamay
Di kita iiwan sa paglakbay
Dito sa mundong walang katiyakan
Hawak-kamay
Di kita bibitawan sa paglalakbay
Sa mundo ng kawalan

Ang mundo’y gumuho sa ilalim ng iyong mga paa
At ang agos ng problema ay tinatangay ka
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
Di kaya ako’y tawagin
Malaman mong kahit kailan
Bridge:
Wag mong sabihin nag-iisa ka
Laging isipin may makakasama
Narito ako ohhh, Narito ako…
Sa mundo ng kawalan
Hawak-kamay, Hawak-kamay, Hawak-kamay
Sa mundo ng kawalan
Ang mundo’y gumuho sa ilalim ng iyong mga paa
At ang agos ng problema ay tinatangay ka
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
Di kaya ako’y tawagin
Malaman mong kahit kailan
Bridge:
Wag mong sabihin nag-iisa ka
Laging isipin may makakasama
Narito ako ohhh, Narito ako…
Sa mundo ng kawalan
Hawak-kamay, Hawak-kamay, Hawak-kamay
Sa mundo ng kawalan

Kagabi ko pa iniisip ito, e. Tapos ngayon-ngayon lang, nataymingang may nabasa akong post na ang title ay "Walang Pamagat."
Tanong lang po. Kapag ba ang isang akda ay pinamagatan ng "Walang Pamagat," ginagawa ba nitong may pamagat ang akdang walang pamagat?
Pero nung nag-iisip ako kagabi e, English ang takbo ng utak ko.
Does giving an article the title "Untitled" make the untitled titled?

Parang ako lang yung sinasabi ng kanta
Solitaire
by Clay Aiken
There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love through his indifference
A heart that cared, that went unshared
Until it died in his silence
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
Another day, a lonely day
So much to say that goes unspoken
And through the night, his sleepless nights
His eyes are closed, his heart is broken
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
She's coming back again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
A little hope, goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
Solitaire
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
Ohhh
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
Solitaire, solitaire

Bonding Time with Siblings
Pagdating ng 2012, apat na taon na na hindi na ako nakatira sa house namin sa Tondo. I'm living alone now in Parañaque. One of the things that I miss is my bonding time with my brothers and sisters. We are seven and I am the eldest. Pag nagkaipon-ipon kaming magkakapatid, ang daming kwentuhan. Usually katatawanan tungkol sa aming mga sarili, sa isa't isa, at sa mga kakilala.
Ito ang isang kwento ng brother ko na nasa Palawan ngayon.
Nung high school pa siya dito sa Manila noon, meron siyang isang klasmeyt na may pagkabingi. Tawagin natin siyang Bing. Isang araw, mga apat o lima silang magkakaklase na naglalakad sa Sta. Cruz.
Klasmeyt 1: Nagugutom na ako. Kain tayo diyan sa Goodah.
Bing: Anong Buddha? Baka Bodhi!!!
Isang araw ulit, nag-dinner sila buong klase sa isang pizza parlor.
Girl Klasmeyt: Naku, late na tayo makakauwi nito. Tatawag muna ako sa bahay. May phone kaya dito?
Bing: Anong Coke? Ayan na nga ang Pepsi, o!!!
Ang mga mahina ang tenga, kadalasan, malalakas ang boses para marinig din nila ang sarili nila. Kaya kadalasan, ang ending ng conversation with parents sa bahay ni Bing ay ganito:
Erpats: Bing, bakit mo ako sinisigawan?
Eto naman ang kwento ng sis ko na sumunod sa akin:
Pagdating niya sa bahay, tinanong niya yung isa pang sis namin.
Sis1: Nakita mo ba yung ale doon sa kanto kanina?
Sis2: Bakit?
Sis1: Tatanga-tanga. Kung saan-saan nakatingin. Nahulog tuloy sa butas. Ito pa nga yung mga galos o. (Sabay turo sa sarili niyang binti).

Sagot sa mga Tanong
May mga oras na dumadating sa akin ang mga tanong na ito:
Tama ba ang aking mga ginagawa?
Am I supporting the right causes?
Am I happy?
What are they thinking?
What was I thinking?
Am I doing the right thing?
Am I doing the thing right?
What will they say?
Am I saying the right things?
May magagalit ba?
May matutuwa ba?
After asking myself these questions, iisa lang lagi ang sagot ko.
I don't care.
Hindi naman ako dati ganyan. Nakakapagod lang mag-isip nang mag-isip ng mga sagot sa mga tanong na iyan, at pagdating ng araw, ma-realize mo, they don't care.

Let Us Help This Couple in Distress
As I was surfing the internet last night, I chanced upon the blog of a couple. They are seeking help so that their ordeal of almost two years may end. Someone is trying to extort money from them. Please take time to read their blog and the least that we can do to help is to post their blog in our Facebook accounts or other social networking sites until their case reaches the proper authorities.

Comments on Published Article: Kasambahay, Katulong, o Alila: Sino ang Kasama Mo sa Bahay?
I wrote the article "Kasambahay, Katulong, o Alila: Sino ang Kasama Mo sa Bahay?" and submitted it to Definitely Filipino. I was touched when I read the comments to my article. Some of the comments came from OFW's. I was thinking about the local domestic helpers when I wrote the article, so it was a surprise when some of the comments came from them. I am posting some of the comments here.
- in our home, they rule! i've kept them for over 25 years - lasts longer than my marriage.
- kung pwede lang i-level mo ung sarili mo sa kanila para sa pakikisama mo sa kasambahay dahil kung may pera sila di sila mamasukan ng ganun kababa ang tingin sa kanila.....kaya dapat tapatan ng pakikisama ng maayos at itrato ng tama
- d2 sa hk mas may pinag aralan,mas marunong.masipag.maasahan at higit sa lahat mapagkatiwalaan ang mga pinay kasambahay.
- NOTA.she's a family for us;-)
- ako, tawag ko dati sa kasama sa bahay, isa siyang Ambisyosang Palaka. Ginagaya yung porma ko. Inaakit yung jowa ko, tinorture anak ko, itsinismis ako. Sobra! Kulang na lang itulak ko sa hagdan. Joke lang! Kaya mabuti pa minsan, bumili ka na lang ng high tech appliances and kayo na lang ng family mo magtulungan na gumawa ng gawaing bahay. Walang sakit ng ulo, wala ka pang pakikisamahan.
- whatever you address them, kasambahay, katulong or alila, relationship between both sides will depend on how they treat each other.
- kasambahay, pero kung minsan depende rin yan sa amo na napasukan mo even you want to treat them well kung sila naman di ka nila treat na maayos di mo rin ma-blame ang isang katulong, relationship between them depends on both sides
- ako, alila na talaga ako...haaay
- pambihira yung kasambahay. Karamihan, katulong siguro
- right now, after poison ivy, i'd rather alone do the household chores
- lahat ng tao ay isang alila...kapag ikaw ay may amo alila ka..alila ka rin ng iyong mga pangarap..di ba gusto mo tuparin mga yun kaya nagsusumikap ka..lahat tayo alila,iba iba nga lang na environment o aspeto..
- whatever u call it, maids are treated like a family in our home with respect.
- parehas lang iyon.. the terms doesn't matter.. it's how you treat a person (your help) do you treat them like a slave or would you mind to treat them like your close family member tending your needs? you should treat your alila.. katulong.. aide helper.. kasambahay .. atsay.. labandera..nanny.. fairly.. and w/ respect.. you must direct them 'coz they don't know everything or what ur thinking.. :) 007
- Sa hirap ng buhay kaya siguro pinasok nya kasambahay,katulong,o alila para lang mabuhay ang mahal nya sa buhay at sa pamilya nya. Mabuhay kayo mga kasambahay saludo ako sa inyo...
- Marangal na trabaho ang katulong,alila o ksambahay.....kya saludo po ako!
- isa po akong nanny masabi ko po marangal ang trabaho ko nakapagtapos man ako hindi ako pumili ng trabahong gusto ko dahil sa kagustuhan ko maibigay yung nararapat sa pamilya ko tiis at sakripisyo ang ginawa ko.
- Ganun din ako layie khit me natapos marangal dn nmn ang trabaho natin dito..katulong di aq dito sa dubai kahit pangit ang ugali ng amo natin tinitiis lng pra sa ating milya..
- mabuhay ang mga helpers sa buong mundo! You are the Number 1 contributor of any kind. . .If this world need the rich? Those rich people need us too.:-)
- Para sa akin kahit ano pa ang at natapos basta marangal tayong kumikita para sa kinabukasan natin at pamilya!!! Isa rin ako sa mga kasambahay dito london... Hindi po biro ang sakripisyong makisama sa ibang pamilya habang tayo ay malayo sa ating mga mahal na buhay...saludo ako sa mga kasambahay na gaya ko!!!
- Im nanny too but minsan medyo mhirap din ipaalam na katulong ka kc may mga taong sa una they talk to u then asking what your job and u tell them the truth the nextime u meet them they ignore you!!!kapwa mo din pinoy kc mha nurse daw kc sila.
- katulong lng din ako d2 sa Italy...dhil sa work na to umaangat nman kabuhayan ng pamilya ko. Nakakatulong din kmi sa mga ibat ibang community ng bayan nmin...
- Hats off ako sa mga masisipag at mapagmahal na tulad ninyo. Be proud of what you do because it is a skill and a vocation as well. GOD bless.
- marami dn d2 sa italy ang ganyan ang ugali. D nga cla kasambahay pero tulad ko dn na taga linis....yung iba kc ayaw nila e level ang sarili sa tulad nming mga katulong sa bahay...
- In demands talaga ang mga pinoys all over dahil sa galing magtrabaho at masipag.
- pra sa akin kahit ano pa work natin d2 sa ibang bansa consider prin tyo as domestic helper mapa doctor,murse,engeener،o ano pa man skilled workers wlng pinag iba tyo d2 kasi tyong lahat ay pumuunta d2 pra mag trabajo proud to be skilled workers but much more proud all who sacrifice them self kahit hirap at mababa ang kinikita basta marangal lng na trabajo walng pinag iba sa mga skilled workers halos compara sa kita sila ay kasambahay ang tinatangap nila sahod walng bawas dahil libre na lahat eh tyo kung may accomodation man eh ang pagkain at personal na gastos halos pareparehas lng dn,ang dami nga mga umunlad na housemaids o kya nanny walang kaalamalam mansion na ang bahay sa pinas at malaking negosyo,aanhin man natin sa malaking sahod halos pantay lng ang gagastusin, wla rin maiipon db? Kaya para sa atin lahat na nand2 sa ibat ibag bansa ng mundo mabuhay tyong lahat at dakilang manggagawang Pilipino! GODBLESS US!
- Its a Blessings talaga n magkaroon ng Amo n mabait at tinuturing ka na pamilya.. Mahirap man ang trabaho, balewala dahil sa pamilya na umaasa sa pinas.. Kya Mabuhay po ang lahat ng Kasambahay/Nanny lalo n dito sa London.. (isa po ako sa libu-libong pinay nanny dito sa London) God Bless Us All..:)
- ito po ay isang marangal maayus malinis na trabaho..at sa lahat ang isang kasambahay na nag tra-trabaho sa ibang bansa ay malaki ang naitutulong sa ekonomiya ng bansa natin..
- Katulong ako noon sa Singapore. Then, I met my husband which is an American! We are happily married for 15 yrs. now, and finishing my college in a Lasalle University in the States major in History. To all my fellow "atsay" be proud! God use us as an instrument to bring Jesus to the secular society. Our personality, our joy, our humility speaks louder than words. God bless you. Never stop praying.

No one else can make you happy. If you expect a boyfriend or a wife to "complete you", sooner or later they will disappoint you. You have to make yourself happy first.

Kasambahay, Katulong, o Alila: Sino ang Kasama Mo sa Bahay?
Upang makita ang pagkakaiba sa kanila, ginamit ko ang mga salitang kasambahay, katulong, at alila. Makikita mo kung anong klase silang kasama sa bahay hindi lamang kung paano sila magtrabaho kundi kung paano sila ituring ng kanilang mga amo.
Kasambahay
Siya siguro ang pinakamapalad sa mga pumasok sa ganitong uri ng trabaho, dahil may mababait siyang mga amo. Halos kapamilya na ang turing sa kanya. Hindi naiiba ang kanyang pagkain sa kinakain ng kanyang mga amo. Mapapalad din ang kanyang mga amo dahil may malasakit siya sa pamilyang kanyang pinaglilikuran. Malamang, magmula teenager siya hanggang sa kanyang pagtanda ay iisang pamilya lang ang kanyang paglilingkuran. Isang katangian niya ay mapagkakatiwalaan sa lahat ng bagay. Pamilya na rin ang turing niya sa kanyang mga amo. At kadalasan din ay pinagmamalasakitan siya ng kanyang mga amo. Hindi sumasagi sa isipan niya na maghanap ng ibang mapapasukan dahil kuntento na siya sa kanyang kalagayan at masaya siya sa piling ng pamilyang pinaglilingkuran. Hindi rin sumasagi sa isipan ng kanyang amo na siya ay palitan dahil mahirap humanap ng mapagkakatiwalaan, at kadalasan ay kapamilya na rin ang turing sa kanya. Kahit pa may mag-offer sa kanya ng mas mataas na sahod, hindi niya iiwanan ang kanyang mga amo.
Katulong
Siya iyong nagtratrabaho lang. Pumasok siya sa ganitong uri ng trabaho para may kita. Trabaho, kita. Kadalasan, walang loyalty. Kung makakakita ng among mas mataas magpasahod ay lilipat ng pinagtatrabahuhan. Mas mababaw ang kanyang relasyon sa kanyang mga amo kaysa isang kasambahay. Siya ang klase ng kasama sa bahay na palaging napapalitan. Kung masungit ang amo, hahanap ng iba. Kung mababa ang suweldo, lilipat sa iba. Kadalasan, makikita mo siya sa agency. Kadalasan, palipat-lipat siya ng pinapasukan.
Alila
Siya iyong may among porke sinuswelduhan siya ay parang nabili na ang kanyang kaluluwa. Kadalasan, and pagkain niya ay iba sa kinakain ng kanyang mga amo. Kadalasan, left-overs. Kadalasan din, siya ay underpaid. Hindi siya pwedeng magpahinga. Hindi rin siya pwedeng makita ng amo na walang ginagawa. Kung minsan ay sinasaktan pa. Hindi tao ang turing sa kanya kundi isang bagay, isang makina, o isang hayop. Siya ang klase ng kasama sa bahay na nakakaawa. Siya rin ang klase na naghihiganti sa amo sa pamamagitan ng pagnanakaw, paninira, o kung hindi naman ay lalayas na lang kung hindi na makatiis.
Kung mayroon kang kasama sa bahay, ano siya sa tatlo? Paano mo siya ituring? Paano mo siya tratuhin? Babaguhin ko ang tanong. Anong klaseng amo ka sa iyong kasama sa bahay?
May isang klaseng kasama sa bahay na hindi ko nabanggit sa itaas. Ito ay ang
Magnanakaw
Hindi naman talaga siya katulong. Siya ay magnanakaw na papasok bilang katulong upang nakawan ang kanyang amo. Kung minsan ay miyembro siya ng sindikato. Hindi mo malalaman na siya ay magnanakaw kung hindi pa niya ginagawa ito. Kinukuha muna niya ang pagtitiwala ng amo bago niya isagawa ang kanyang binabalak. Kung minsan ay may napapahamak sa kanyang pinapasukan. Kung minsan naman ay may mga kasabwat pa siya para isakatuparan ang kanyang mga plano.
Paano ka makakaiwas sa magnanakaw? Garantiya ba na meron siyang ipakitang NBI clearance o police clearance para ikaw ay magtiwala sa kanya?
Bago ka kumuha ng bagong kasama sa bahay, kilalanin muna siyang maigi. Gaano siya kakilala ng nag-refer sa iyo? Gaano katagal na silang magkakilala? Mag-ingat sa mga nagpapanggap.
Mapalad ang aming pamilya dahil ang aming kasama sa bahay ay hindi kasambahay, katulong, o alila. Siya ang aming Manang. Matagal na siya sa amin. Simula pa sa kanyang pagkadalaga hanggang sa makapag-asawa, magkaroon ng pitong anak at mga apo. Masasabi kong mahal niya ang aming pamilya katulad ng pagmamahal niya sa kanyang sariling pamilya. Hindi lamang amo ang turing niya sa amin kundi para na rin niya kaming mga anak kung pagmalasakitan. Hindi na rin iba ang turing namin sa kanya. Sana makakita ka rin ng kagaya ni Manang.

Patay-Gutom
Patay-gutom
Definition: timawa, palaging gutom, matakaw (from Morpolohiya - Wikipedia)
Hindi lahat ng mahirap ay patay-gutom. Meron din namang mayaman at sagana sa buhay pero patay-gutom. Ang pagiging patay-gutom ay isang state of mind. Iyon ay ang pagkakaroon ng poverty mentality. Maaari din nating sabihin na ang isang patay-gutom ay gahaman, sakim, at oportunista. May kilala ka bang ganito?

Miriam to Enrile: Masturbation Is not Murder
Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago shot down the statement of Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile that life begins when a man produces a sperm and a woman produces an egg.
During the resumption of the debate on Senate bill 2865 or the reproductive health bill, Enrile said, "There is life already [in the sperm and the egg] but not yet a human life because a woman cannot produce a human being without the sperm of a man, and a man cannot produce a human being without the egg of the woman so these elements on their own have life."
Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago rebuts the statement of Senate Pres. Juan Ponce Enrile that a sperm has life.
Santiago urged the Senate President to reconsider his stand. "If it is the position of Sen. Enrile that a sperm has life, of course, if a sperm has life, then that life should be protected. Therefore, in logic, when a person masturbates and releases all those sperms for nothing, he commits murder? Let's think about that."
Santiago and RH bill co-author Sen. Pia Cayetano fielded questions from Enrile and Sen. Sergio "Serge" Osmeña III on the definition of conception.
The two female legislators cited reports saying that there is no consensus in the scientific community on when life begins. Because of differences in meaning, some critics of the RH bill argue that contraceptives are abortifacients, but supporters of the measure deny this.
To resolve the debate, Santiago said she and Cayetano are open to adopting a working definition of conception only for the purposes of the RH bill, and not as a medically prescribed definition.
Cayetano pointed out that even members of the 1987 Constitutional
Commission failed to reach an agreement on the meaning of conception.
Ping vs. 'morning-after pill'
Sen. Panfilo Lacson, meanwhile, expressed opposition to allowing the use of so-called morning-after pills. Even he is a co-author of the bill, Lacson said he will withdraw his support for the measure if it includes the pills in the family planning devices couples can choose from.
"Because to me, if there's possibility of life, I don't want any contraceptive to interfere. Because no one will know after sexual intercourse if there's life. The man and the woman who engage in the sexual act will not know," he said.
Cayetano sought to address Lacson's concern. "This is a non-issue because the morning-after pill is not a registered contraceptive."
Sen. Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III, who is against the RH bill, also said he will raise questions in the upcoming sessions about the use of intrauterine device or IUD.
The Senate is debating the RH bill, which has yet to hurdle second reading. The bill so far has an equal number of supporters and critics in the chamber, with many senators still silent about their stand on the issue.
The interpellations will continue on September 26, Monday.

* The pen is mightier than the pigs.
* An idle mind is the best way to relax.
* Where there’s smoke there’s pollution.
* Happy the bride who gets all the presents.
* A penny saved is not much.
* Two’s company, three’s the Musketeers.
* Don’t put off till tomorrow what you put on to go to bed.
* Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and you have to blow your nose.
* There are none so blind as Stevie Wonder.

You Know You're in Mid-Age When
your optometrist tells you:
- that you must use reading glasses when you're reading and have your contact lenses on
- you must remove your eyeglasses (if not wearing contacts) and read with bare eyes
- you'll need doble-vista glasses in the future.
Haaaist!!!

Bakit Bawal?
Kung nakakasugat ang makunan ng litrato, gutay-gutay na yung guard. Hahaha!!!
This one is from MgaEpal:
Takbo, Gloria, Takbo!!!
I found some pictures making fun of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in braces. Gustung-gusto ko i-post dito yung pics dahil nakakatawa talaga. Masarap pagtawanan kasi nakakainis siya. Pero naisip ko, matanda na siya at may sakit. Naisip ko tao din siya. May damdamin din siya. Kahit walanghiya. Hindi ko na iisipin ang pagkatao niya dahil baka magbago ang isip ko at i-post ko mga litrato niya dito. Iisipin ko na lang matanda na siya. Yung hustisya, bahala humabol sa kanya. Tumakbo na lang siya ng tumakbo. Hanggang hukay na pagtakbo.
Dahil nga hindi na ako magpo-post ng pictures niya, tingnan niyo na lang yung post ng ibang bloggers.

Ang ibang laro ba na nabanggit ay parte ng kulturang Pinoy? Kung oo, baka mabaon na sa limot kung hindi matututunan ng mga kabataan ngayon dahil sa gadgets.
Nilalaro ba ng mga anak mo ang ilan man sa mga larong iyan?
Kung bibigyan ka ng pagkakataon, sa edad mo ngayon, alin ang gusto mong laruin?
Madadagdagan pa ito pag naalala ko yung iba. Suggest naman kayo ng games na wala pa dito. Kung hindi ninyo alam yung mechanics ng game na nabanggit, ask na lang sa comments and I'll explain them.

Laurence Is My Name
I love my name. I don't know if you love yours as much as I do mine, pero hindi naman ako obsessed. Ok, siguro obsessed ako, hindi ko lang na-realize. Noon, ang akala ko, napaka-unique ng pangalan ko. Akala ko ako lang ang may pangalang "Laurence," pero nung high school ako, ang dami kong kapangalan sa school. Tanggap ko na rin na hindi unique ang pangalan ko, na marami kaming Laurence dito sa mundo.
Ikaw, pag may kapangalan ka, ano ang una mong ginagawa? Ako, tinitingnan ko kaagad kung siya ay guwapo. Ewan ko, kasi meron akong mind set na kapag "Laurence" ang pangalan mo, kailangan ay guwapo ka. In fairness, sa lahat-lahat ng nakita kong kapangalan ko, masasabi ko na 99.9% kaming puro guwapo. Kung di ka naniniwala, i-Google mo, o kaya ay i-search mo sa Facebook. (Singit lang: partida, first name pa lang yan. Try mo i-Google o search sa FB ang Laurence Lee. Madami kami.)
Ang iba, alam nila kung bakit sila pinangalanan ng pangalan nila. Merong pinangalanan base sa kung sino ang presidente nung ipinanganak sila. Kaya ang daming Ferdinands. Meron ding pinalanganan base sa mga syllables ng mga pangalan ng tatay at nanay nila. Merong pinangalanan ayon sa kalendaryo. Ako, di ko alam kung bakit Laurence ang ibinigay sa aking pangalan, pero nagpapasalamat pa rin ako na iyon ang ibinigay sa akin. Nagpapasalamat din ako at hindi ako naging "junior." Parang ang awkward isipin kung ang pangalan ko ay "Florencio." (Sumalangit nawa.)
Bilang isang Laurence, ang kadalasang tawag sa akin ay Rence. Pinaiksi. May tumawag din sa aking Lo. Okay lang sa akin yung mga palayaw na nabanggit ko. May naisulat na ako tungkol sa mga tawag sa akin sa isang post ko. Pwede mong basahin iyon dito My Blog Name.
Ang pinakamahirap na naranasan ko sa pagkakaroon ng pangalang Laurence ay kung may kausap ako sa telepono at tinanong ang pangalan ko. Kadalasan ang naririnig nila sa phone ay "Loren." Ewan ko kung bakit di nila naririnig ang "s" sa huli. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko bibigkasin ang pangalan ko para marinig nila ang "s." Naisip ko na kapag tinanong ako kung ano ang pangalan ko, ang isasagot ko ay "Laurenzzzz," o kaya ay kagaya sa mga hapon - Laurensu.
Isa pa ay ang pag-spell ng pangalan ko, halimbawang tanungin ako sa mga fastfood dahil pending ang order ko. Mali-mali ang spelling ng Laurence na nakalagay sa resibo, depende kung ano ang kanilang ethnicity. Parang ang pinakamadaling gawin kapag tinanong ako sa fastfood o kaya ay sa coffee shop ng, "May I have your name, Sir?" ay sagutin sila ng, "Mike."

Emo Mode Ako
Every time I sing or hear this song, I can't help getting emotional. Because this song tells exactly the story of my life. I did not have a good relationship with my father while he was living. It's not that I had not loved him, but he did not love me. Everything I did was wrong for him. He didn't like me. He did not like how I thought. He did not like to hear what I had to say. He did not give me the chance to express myself. Everything about me was wrong. I am not writing this to dishonor him. I am writing this because I need to. For myself. So I can move on. If I don't face this now, I know I will have to face this again in the future.
I grew up hating my father most of my life. He was selfish and lived only for himself. He did not provide. He did not love. He did not feed. And add to that the verbal, physical, emotional, and psychological abuse that I received from him. I started suffering depression when I was in my teens. I didn't recognize it back then, but as I became more mature, I researched what I was going through, and how I can fight it. I have been fighting it alone for most of my life. I am not going to surrender. If I would, I would have done a long time ago. This is one of the reasons that I put up this blog. I gathered in this blog the tools that I need to help myself. I know someday I'm going to need help, and when I can find no help, I have this blog to turn to. Me helping myself. Because I just won't give up. I will continue putting up a fight...with life. - Rence
Perfect
by Simple Plan
Hey Dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I’m wasting my time
doing things I wanna do?
But it hurts when you disapprove all along
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I’m never gonna be good enough for you
Can’t pretend that I’m alright
And you can’t change me
‘Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
Now it’s just too late
And we can’t go back
I’m sorry I can’t be Perfect
I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don’t care anymore
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I’m never gonna be good enough for you
I can’t stand another fight
And nothing’s alright
‘Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
Now it’s just too late
And we can’t go back
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
Nothing’s gonna change
The things that you said
And nothing’s gonna make this right again
Please don’t turn your back
I can’t believe it’s hard
Just to talk to you
But you don’t understand
‘Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
Now it’s just too late
And we can’t go back
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
‘Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
Now it’s just too late
And we can’t go back
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
But it hurts when you disapprove all along
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I’m never gonna be good enough for you
Can’t pretend that I’m alright
And you can’t change me
‘Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
Now it’s just too late
And we can’t go back
I’m sorry I can’t be Perfect
I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don’t care anymore
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I’m never gonna be good enough for you
I can’t stand another fight
And nothing’s alright
‘Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
Now it’s just too late

I’m sorry I can’t be perfect

I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
Now it’s just too late
And we can’t go back
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
