of shooting stars and green tea
yesterday, i manned our computer shop. my dad usually mans the shop, wala kasi kaming mahanap na trustworthy na bantay. but yesterday my dad had to go somewhere to buy something and he asked me to do the work. so i said yes, kasi wala naman akong magagawa about it.
anyway, wala naman masyadong kinalaman yun sa sasabihin ko sa inyo. intro palang yun. hehe.
there i was, sitting patiently by the main computer, thinking about how i'd love to eat some ice cream and oreos and pancakes when my friend An Konim (a.k.a. baby boy) texted me that our other friends Cai Dumandal and Sarah Lacanienta wanted to have a tea party. LOL. tea party daw. haha.
before, when the four of us meet, we drink The Bar while playing card games. The Bar with iced tea. The Bar with soda. then we thought we ought to change our ways and drink less kaya kape naman tinira namin. kapeng barako and hazelnut coffee. this went on for a long time.
siguro naisip nila masama parin sa katawan ang kape kaya they want to drink tea instead. ok lang naman sakin. pauwi na din naman ako. and i thought to myself i won't stay for long, just in case my dad wants me to man the shop again.
i closed the shop just before it hit 12am. i went home to get a jacket (it was coooold outside) and am off to meet my friend.
nung una parang nung dati lang, except we're having tea. naisip namin tumatanda na nga kami. ano kaya titirahin namin by next year, nganga? anyway, we were playing cards when baby boy saw something in the sky. shooting star daw. sabi namin, ulol. guniguni mo lang yun.
pero dahil baby boy nga sya, di parin napigilan at lumabas para tumingin sa stars. and what do you know, may shooting star nga daw. shooting stars. mukhang may meteor shower daw.
dali-dali kaming lumabas nila cai at sarah to watch. we waited for a while, laughing and making fun of each other. and there it was, like an invisible giant pen slashed its luminescent ink in the sky, a shooting star.
manghang-mangha na ko sa isang shooting star. pero shortly after the first (and as it turned out, the brightest) one, may mga sumunod pa. we were mesmerized.
kumuha na ng banig si baby boy so we could all lie down and just watch. we watched till we had our fill. we went back to the nipa hut quite elated. we just witnessed a meteor shower. and even if my wishes don't come true (oh but i do hope they do), it was still magical.
we played a few more games and i lost a little here and there. and if i were to man the shop the following day (and yes, i am manning the shop today), kahit wala ako masyadong tulog, ok lang.
nakakita naman ako ng shooting stars.

PETITION
after a very long time, we received word from my mum.
now, to give you an idea why this is a ig deal, let me tell you a short story about my family.
my parents have been separated for around 10 years now. my dad lives with someone else now, somewhere in angono. at least nagkikita kami once in a while. i now have 5 siblings, 2 girls and a baby boy.
i don't know what happened to my mum. last time i saw her, high school pa ko nun.
i live with my lola.
but that doesn't really matter. i don't care about my mum anymore. you might think that's a very mean thing to say, but i have my reasons like her drug abuse and all that.
anyway, this morning we received a summons from her. well, actually, para sa dad ko yun. she's petitioning that their marriage be annulled.
ok lang naman sakin eh. as in, ok lang. kaso may mga nakalagay sa petition nya na maling information.
item number 4 on her petition says, "That as a result of their love, affection and mariage together, they were blessed wth three children namely. ANGELO GABRIEL CARAON (me), ANTHONY FRANCIS CARAON and AILEEN CARAON, who are now all of legal ages and married but their residences and whereabouts are unknown and can no longer be located;
in item number 5, "...her husband Reynaldo B. Caraon...left and abandoned the former (mum) in 1997;
this clearly shows na walang kamalay-malay i mum about us, her kids. ok, francis and i are of legal age, but we are not married yet. aileen is 14. siyempre di pa siya kasal. i mean, we don't want her money and all. but this is blatantly telling us that she doesn't care about us at all. and hello, this petition went to our house, di niya kami ma-locate?
and please, my dad did not just leave her. ang pagkakatanda ko, she left. but if my dad was the one who left, well , madaming mga dahilan talaga na makakapag-provoke nun. isa dun yung pagpapa-rehab namin sa kanya. twice. di gumana. isa palang yun.
i have to admit, i was a little surprised. i didn't think my mum had the wits to do something like this. oh well.
may my parents live a happy, annulled life soon.

soul mate
i was watching sex and the city a while ago, and they were talking about sex and soul mates. since i am a wholesome person, sa soul mates napunta attention ko.
sabi sa http://dictionary.reference.com ang soul mate ay: One of two persons compatible with each other in disposition, point of view, or sensitivity.
one of two. so our society(or at least the dictionary) tells us that there is only 1 soul mate for a person. fine, may isa. ok na yun. ang problema kasi, 6.796 billion ang tao sa buong mundo. minus one, kasi ikaw yun. pano yun? eh sa pilipinas palang 91,983,000(trueknowledge.com) katao na ang nakatira. and we are expeted to find that one person. good luck talaga.
when we reach a certain age, we start to look for that soul mate. depende yan sa tao. minsan maaga naghahanap, minsan uber late na. pero the one goal is to look for that perfect someone that will complete you. we look for them in many different ways. meron pumaparty, may naghahanap sa work, may nagpapaset-up sa friend, speed dating, online, at marami pang iba.
sa isang part ng episode na napanuod ko, sabi ni charlotte pwede naman na silang magkakaibigan ang magso-soul mates. napatango nalang ako.
wag natin pahirapan ang sarili natin. baka sa kakahanap nyo ng soul mate, sa isang perpektong entity na yan, may lumagpas na na taong hindi man perketo, pero handa namang tumanggap sa kung ano ka man.
soul mate• One of two persons compatible with each other in disposition, point of view, or sensitivity (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/)
sa aking dictionary, soul mates are the many people close to you who make life a lot more fun and easier.

Eto Lang ni gab caraon
eto na naman ako
isang bato
isang batong nakahimlay sa dalampasigan
laging nakatingin sa lawak ng dagat
laging nangangarap na balang araw ay marating din
ang mga narating niya
laging umaasang balang araw ay dalhin ako ng alon
sa ibang lugar
at sumabay sa sayaw ng pag-agos ng buhay
eto na naman ako, nangangarap.
pero eto nga ako. isang bato.
mabigat. matigas. hindi makagalaw.
at hindi tulad ng dagat na madaming nagagawa,
ako na isang bato ay hindi man lang kayang lumuha.

disaster
just recently, typhoon Ondoy hit the Philippines and brought chaos all over the country. rizal is one of the places where the storm did the most damage.
i'm from rizal.
---------------------------------------
so i was sleeping soundly on my bed. ginising ako ng boses ng kapatid ko. eh hindi pumapasok usually mga tao sa kwarto ko kasi baka mabangasan ko sila. to my surprise (oh yes, what a surprise) pinapaligiran na ako ng tubig baha. hindi binabaha bahay namin, kahit sa labas. tas ngayon ayan, pinasok na kwarto ko. ah, oo nga pala. yung kama ko pala nasa lapag lang. gaddemet.
tumayo ako agad sa kama ko, very thankful that i didn't leave my phone on the floor, and
sa labas nakakumpol mga tao sa bahay ko. umupo nalang kami sa may set nang walang magawa. naiakyat naman namin yung mga ibang appliances tulad ng computer. pero wala na kaming magawa about the fridge. madami ding nasirang mga damit at sapatos.
sa labas, nag ala rio grande yung agos ng baha. mukhang hanggang sa crotch ko na nga e. di ko nalang triny for very obvious reasons.
matagal kami sa labas. matagal naming hinintay na bumaba yung tubig. awa ng diyos, by the end of the day, halos wala ng baha sa bahay namin. we started to salvage things na pwede pa naming pakinabangan.
---------------------------------------
mukhang ang lala no? pero wala pa yan sa dinanas ng iba. meron dyan lumubog ang BUONG bahay sa baha. walang naisalba kundi ang mga sarili nila. even my dad's house went under water. they were able to save the TV, but everything else, wala na. major repairs ang kailangan para dito. and the the thing is, i need to help my dad and his family. ang sama ko namang anak kung hindi. but i need to sacrifice things para dito. masakit...
oh well. ho-hum. buti nalang buhay pa pamilya ko. yung iba... alam nyo na.
grabe no? kasabay ng pag-agos ng ulan ay ang pagbuhos ng luha ng mga taong nasalanta. kasama ng mga gamit na nadala ng baha ay ang mga pangarap at mga planong di na matutupad. nakakagulat. nakakalunkot.
ang kaya nalang nating gawin ay magtulungan. magtulungan at umasa.

satisfaction - repost from atlastihavea.multiply.com
so here i am again, stuck in Mendiola, waiting for the offices to finish their lunch. gotta get that ferkin transcript sa San Beda.
dahil wala akong magawa, ako ay magsusulat. bow.
i have two things to write about today. so let's start with....
satisfaction.
on my way to the train station, i heard this radio show sa bus. i don't know the station, but i remember particularly the name of the host. parang tunog balahura at balasubas eh. yun nga, they were laughing a lot, na medyo nakakairita kasi i just got out of a rather unfriendly meeting. amidts the chaos of their uber loub voices, may point na na-curious ako. so i listened malamang.
they were talking about why people in a relationship cheat. sabi nila, satisfaction daw ang sagot.
the woman host said that people in a relationship should keep their partners satisfied in all aspects. yes, tama. i had to agree sabi ko sa utak ko. kasi nga naman kung hindi satisfied, maghahanap ng makaka-satisfy. di lang sa relationship. pati sa ibang aspeto ng buhay natin, tulad ng trabaho at connection speed ng internet.
pero ang maganda, sa relationship, may pangontra sa pagiging unsatisfied. kung baga ung pipigil sa paghihiwalay kung bigla ka nalang magsawa o bigla siyang magsawa.
faith. :)
ok, i forgot the second thing na gustong-gusto kong ikwento. till here nalang muna.
