Thank God, I have my friends with me..

Whenever you want to know how rich you are, don't count your money, instead drop a tear and count the number of hands dat will reach out to wipe ur tears ..

Hi there peepz. I was about to lay my back for a good night sleep but suddenly a rush of blood came into me, telling me to say hi to my ever loving friends back home. God I miss them so much. I'm stretching my arms hoping that you can see how big my longing is. lol.. Nah, seriously, I've been with these peepz for almost half of my life and we've shared alot of things together. Ang kukulit namin sobra. Daming happy moments, and ofcourse, meron din tragedy. Nde naman kasi mawawala yun eh, and whats good about fights? They turned us into one-of-heck fighters with a touch of maturity and calmness. Although yun iba sa mga tropa ko eh "warfreak" talaga. Hay, funny isn't it? These people, aside from my family ofcourse, helped me achieved what I have today. And I'm very very very appreciative about it. Let me share to you some of our funny moments together...

Our friendship started way back 1998, specifically, June 24, 1998. Kinda weird noh, may date talaga! That's the first time sinabi namin sa sarili namin na "shit, sila? totoo ba 'to? waaa.. wala bang iba?" hehehe, really destiny has its own way of making things work. And if your'e destined to be together, naku, no turning back ang drama ntin jan..

We started as classmates, seatmates, cheating mates ..

Actually this photo was taken during our senior year. Nde pa naman kasi uso mga pics nun late 90's eh. hehhe, We really look weired sa pic na yan. As if all innocent and fearing people. Ang totoo nyan eh sagad na sa maximum limit ang kasalanan namin ng time na yan, (eh ano pa kaya ngaun noh?) Btw, the background is our alma mater, Chung Hua High School. Astig jan, sobrang down-to-earth mga peeps unlike in some other places - oopss. peace!

Then, few months, years had passed..

We became more closer and closer. Sharing so many stupid things together. Mostly about sa lovelife. Btw, isa nga pla sa mga babae jan eh "X" ko.. hahaha, too bad we broke up just because of some miscommunication. And the countdown ended in 2 months. hahaha, puro kasi petty quarrels eh. Wait, enough na lovestory ko na un ah. hehe. This photo was taken sa nearby beach sa place nmin. Whenever I see this pic, I remember how good mornings are if you have wonderful people around you. 'tong mga tropa kong 'to eh astig talaga, actually nde kami natulog nyan just because we wanted to talk silly things together. We slept-over in one of my friend's house, sa rooftop nila. And guess what, basang basa kami dahil sa moist ng morning dew...

And then the day we've all waiting for came...

Somethings never last. Ampz alangan naman nde na kami matapos sa highschool ayt?! Pangit yun.. Look at our faces, damn I must admit we all look good today than that! My eyes were really swollen! Todo iyak kasi ako, for whatever reason, I dunno know. Eto naman si taba (the fourth from left) eh mukhang my plans pa to stop the grand day. Well i guess she was not successful in her stopping act kasi the two evils (from the right) were smiling as if they wanted to graduate so bad.. hehe Nah, seriously, mixed emotions pla talaga when you graduate. Aside from the real pressure, eh the thought of leaving your "comfort zone" really hurts alot.

This one naman eh graduation ng cadet corp namin, and I'm so dead lucky to have three diamonds in my shoulder. Got it right, I'm the corps commander! Aside from tej and gay2, all have ranks in the corps. Having a cadet corps is a blessing. You get to know alot of things, things that you can't learn from the walls of a classroom. Yun nga lang it takes alot of effort to overcome the hardships in this group. There's sunbathing at 11:00AM, eating food within 10 mins, waking up so early for daily physical exercises, entering the school in clean uniform and ended up with a "basahan" look pauwi sa bahay..

College days gone wild! We seldom see each other, but when we do have time, eto naman trip ng tropa!

Tumambay .. magkwentuhan .. maglaitan .. magkulitan! Btw, ala si Kae sa pic kasi .. Ewan, I totally forgot what was her reason. This was taken from a small bridge in the middle of a ricefield. Really cool place. Very calm and relaxing. Official photographer ng tropa jan eh si Sherwin. Crib nya rin yun pinagtambayan namin jan. Wala ngang food eh badstrip! porn meron! hehe just kidding!

We often do swimming reunion. Kahit nde kumpleto, basta anjan ang nakararami go ang mga tropa. Kahit nga december eh go pa rin. Makakapal lang siguro ang balat nmin. heheh We have so many funny moments sa resort na'to. Almost all of our get together happened here eh. I can't wait to see them again making fun of the cool water here.

And there came College graduation.. The real-world thing approached. Buti na lang we all graduated without trophies yet. I graduated BS in Info Tech, Arjay and Meh with BS in Nursing, Tej and Gay2 with Management degree and our very special friend Kae with Pysch. All now aiming for a good future. All taking our very own path towards success, but with us are the memories and learings we've shared for the past 8 years of friendship... Miss you so much guys. I'll be always here for you all. Keep rockin'! Ja..

There's a Hero in us..

For the past month, I was hooked by this interesting series called "Heroes". The story tells about ordinary people with extraordinary powers and abilities. There's this man named Peter Petrelli whos ability works like a sponge, he can abosorb others energies - literally! A psychic police officer who can give hunches. (I believe the word "psychic" can already give a hint on what he can do) An artist who can draw the future, an ordinary employee (Hiru Nakamura) who can teleport himself in whatever time and place he wants, a cheerleader who can "recover" from death because she can heal herself, a two-charactered wife (I dont have any idea how she can be used to overpower the evil - yet!) and many more. So many that if I tell them all to you, wala na kong space para irelate sila sa buhay natin. lol!

Absorb. Although many would say that it is very impossible to have such special skills, many of us have the same characteristics that is already innate in us. The only problem lies in our preception, the way we see things. Just like for instance, the ability to absorb possitive energies around us. There are a bunch of people who can easily absorb things, whether ideas and others' talents and skills. And like Peter Petrelli, the only hardest and struggling part is on how we can be able to control this "absorption" thing. Siguro sasabihin mong there's no use in controlling such ability. But mind you, when people tend to be sponge-like person, he loses his uniqueness because most of what he have (ideas, knowledge, skills and so-on) were derived from other people. And that is too risky!

Heal. The ability to heal is damn so present in everyone of us. Although not the "physical" heal ha! When we're in the so-called saddest part of our lives, we little-by-little heal ourselves to be normal again. When our heart is broken (for whatever reason?!) we tend to feel hurt and depressed but soon after, the healing process takes place. When somebody close to our lives dies, we overcome the "pangungulila" and acceptance comes in. In such events in our lives, we can prove that we are a bunch of "healers" - people who accepts hardships and yet doesnt allow "it" to swallow us.

Hunches and the future. Ah, most of us are like psychics. We can see things in the future. But that of course depends on our intellectual capacity. Our capacity to think about our future, to direct ourselves to do good so that we can have a better future. You get my point?! haha Diba there's this saying na "What we are today, is the product of what we are yesterday". Our future depends on what we do at this moment and how much we value our hunches in life.

The villain. What is so good about this series is the way they created the villain - the "kontrabida". Swak na swak kasi sya sa personality ng nakararami satin. His personality rooted from his desires. Desire of being accepted, to feel his importance and the "want" to have everthing so that the world can see him. In some way we are like Sylar (by the way Sylar is the name of the villain here). We see happiness in the context of acceptance, having everything and the feeling of importance. I have no issue about it because thats really the reality. The problem again lies in the process of getting those. Just like Sylar, the only way he can be accepted is to have everything in his hands. He killed every special person he met for him to have the person's ability. According to him, thats the only way he can feel special and important. Thats precisely the drawback of this. When we're at the verge of self-preservation, we tend to do all what we can to make ourselves noticed - even getting it in a not-so good way. Basta, ganun yun. lol

I suggest you watch this series, because you are not only enjoying some of your free time but in a way, you can relate in their personalities. And if you have time, buzz me with your thoughts, ayt?! But when you find this a little but of craziness eh, I'll tell you something, there's always a crazy hero is us... lol ja..
