Tortugas Bridge Finally done, but still....

Yes, the title says it all! Tortugas bridge was finally done and open for public after an almost a year of re-construction! And of course it will not be happen without the help of the local government of the City of Balanga.

The inauguration of the said bridge was held on 25th of September 2010 lead by the Governor of Bataan Hon. Tet Garcia and Mayor Joet Garcia together with the City Councilor of Balanga.

It is such a big help to all the residents of Barangay Tortugas especially to all those "Biyaheros" - the person who delivers "Bagoong" to other places and to those who used this bridge as a main source of transportation to cross over to the other barrio and to those who used this bridge for their businesses.

But there's one thing that I've observe on that bridge. The fact that this bridge is too slope for the motorist and i have a doubt that not all motorist will easily drive through this bridge, and i proved it correct!

Motorists are struggling to drive up to the bridge, especially those who drive an old motorcycles and those who are riding a bicycles like the one in the picture. Imagine how the lady struggle to drive to that bridge? And she still needs to go down and push her bicycle instead.

I hope that the city government of balanga and the local government of tortugas do something to eliminate or even ease or lessen the difficulties of the driver who used that bridge as a main source of transportation.

Nevertheless, this step by the local and city government shows that they are willing to help the people of the city and the people living in the barrios by providing them a service that will benefits the residents and the people going to Barangay Tortugas. Since the bridge was already open, expect the visitors of Tortugas Baypark to boom and to increased as per normal.

I know that in the end of the day, if the city government tried to re-construct the bridge and make it slightly lower from the main road it would be better for all the travelers who wants to travel in and out from the beautiful barrio of Tortugas.

When bolero meets sexyemotera!

"Some people comes into our lives and they quickly go.
Some people stay for awhile and leave footprints into our hearts
But, we are not like them! Cos we are FOREVER"

It was a cold day of the month of August 2001 nang unang mag krus ang landas ng isang bolero at isang emotera.

"O sino nagpa-iyak sayo" yan ang una kong bati sa kanya, sabay tawa kasama ng bestfriend ko na si jepoy. Hindi ko akalain na ang pagtatanong ko na yun ang simula ng napakakulay kong buhay sa eskwela.

Wala siyang ibinigay na sagot sa akin sa tanong na yun ngunit ramdam ko sa sarili ko na may mabigat siyang suliranin nang mga oras na yon. Kasama ang kanyang ate, nagmamadali silang lumabas ng compound ng eskwelahan kung saan kami nag aaral.

Hindi ko na nakita si emotera kinabukasan, at makalipas ang ilang araw muling nagkrus ang landas namin sa parehong lugar kung san kami unang nagkita. Kasama ng kanyang kaibigan, tinanong ko siya kung bakit siya umiiyak that time. Ngiti lang ang isinagot nya sa akin, at ang madaldal nyang kaibigan lang ang nagsabi na "Eh pano kasi namatay lolo nya" natahimik na lang ako sabay sabi ng "oopss... sorry"

Matapos ang araw na yun naging madalas na ang pag uusap namin hanggang sa magkaron kami ng 'MU' o multong unggoy...este..Mutual Understanding pala.

Araw araw ang naging pagkikita namin ni emotera, naroong tawagin ko siya sa oras ng kanyang klase para lang kumain ng pancit canton na ipinaluto ko sa canteen with matching RTO (royal true orange)

Magmula noon, nakasanayan na namin ni emotera ang routine na yun, kaya pagnakita na ako ng teacher nya alam na nila yun, at sasabihin "Oh Chat tawag ka ng boss mo" Natutuwa naman ako sa teacher nya dahil kahit na may klase sila hinahayaan nya na lumabas si emotera (chat) para sumama sa akin sa canteen to eat our fave snack!

Isa pa sa mga saksi sa aming napakasayang relasyon ay ang tindero sa park, sa tuwing makikita nya kami na magkasama ay lolokohin na kami nun at sasabihing "Sweet nyo, bagay na bagay kayo" at si emotera naman ay lalo pang kakapit sa akin sabay sasabihin ko naman "Siyempre naman"! Mga simpleng bagay lang ang naging palipasan ng oras namin ni emotera, ang pagtambay sa park, pagkain ng fishball at pag inom ng palamig na nasa plastik. Mga simpleng bagay pero tumatak sa aming mga puso at isipan na kahit kelan hindi namin kakalimutan!

Isa ang Charvin sa naging tambalan ng taon sa eskwela, lahat ata ng guro at mga schoolmate namin ang alam ang tambalang Charvin. Sino pa nga ba ang di makakakilala sa taong nagbansag ng tambalang Charvin, sino pa nga ba e di si Evelyn! ang babaeng kung lapastanganin ng mga estudyante ay ganun ganun na lamang..hehehe...Kung Proclesian ka malamang eh kilala mo si Evelyn!

Marami kaming masasayang araw ni emotera(chat) na habambuhay kong isasapuso, at oras oras kong sasariwain. Dahil ang mga sandaling kasama ko siya ay talaga namang langit para sa akin.

Walong taon na ang lumipas ngunit lahat ay sariwa parin sa aking alaala, mga araw at oras na kasama ko siya ay hindi matutumbasan ng kahit na anong halaga ng pera. Ang pagbigay nya sa akin ng mga krayola, ang mga krayola na nagsisilbing inspirasyon ko sa bawat oras na malayo ako sa kanila.

At kung mawala man ako sa mundong ito, at bigyan ng pagkakataon na bumalik, hihilingin ko sa kanya na ibalik ako sa araw na nagkakilala tayo para muling sariwain ang unang araw na ika'y naging akin!

Moments with love

Magkahalong lungkot at saya ang nararamdaman ko ngayon, halos di ko maipaliwanag ang saya na nararamdaman ko. Siguro marahil sa kausap ko ang aking asawa at nakita ko ang aking mga krayola.

Masaya na ako na nakikita ko sila kahit na sa bintana lang ng aking computer. Gusto ko man silang yakapin ay tanging sa panaginip na lamang yun pwedeng mangyari.

Sinulit ko ang mga sandaling magkausap kami ng aking anak na si Micron, sobrang kulit talaga ng batang ito at nakuha pang makipaglokohan sa akin sa likod ng kamera. Sayang nga lang at di ko nakuhang litratuhan ang kakulitan nya para naman may maipost ako dito kahit paano. Nakapangalumbaba ako na nakatitig sa kanya habang naglalaro sila ng kanyang mama, bigla ko tuloy naisip parang kulang ang ilang araw na inilagi ko sa piling nila dahil hindi man lang kami nagkaron ng oras na magkasatan at magbonding kagaya ng ginagawa nila. Siguro marahil mas madalas pa siyang nasa piling ng tita nya kesa sa akin kaya parang kulang ang mga araw na inilagi ko sa piling nya.

Naalala ko tuloy ang sinabi ko sa asawa ko nung minsang magkausap kami. "Ang layo ng loob ni Mic sa akin" yan ang malungkot kong sabi. Kaya ang hirap pag nalalayo ka sa piling ng mahal mo lalo na at bata pa sila. Kung may pagkakataon lamang ako na umuwi linggo linggo ay gagawin ko para naman mas maging malapit ang loob nya sa akin. Tanggap ko naman na medyo malayo sa akin ang loob ng anak ko dahil sa hindi nya ako araw araw nakakausap at nakakasama, pero masakit din pala kung iyong iisipin.

Nakakatabi ko lang sa pagtulog si Micron kapag natutulog na siya kaya ang gagawin ko na lang ay ang titigan siya habang natutulog at kinakausap ng pabulong dahil baka magising at hanapin si tita nya. Ingat na ingat ako sa pag haplos ng kanyang ulo sa pangambang baka bigla siyang magising. Sapat na sa akin yun kahit sa ganung bagay lang sana maramdaman nya na ako ang papa nya at sana mas maging malapit pa siya sa akin.

Ibang iba naman ang panganay ko, ang aking munting prinsesa - palibhasa'y sa akin lumaki at sa mga hita ko natutulog nung siya'y munting anghel pa lamang. Mas naging malapit siya sa akin at ang naging bonding namin ay ang pagbasa ng libro bago siya matulog nung siya ay maliit pa lamang. Isang kwento isang gabi yan ang usapan namin.

Ngayong malaki na si Ash, hilig nya ang magbigay sa akin ng mga munting likha ng kanyang mga kamay. Naroong ipag gawa nya ako ng drawings o sumulat ng mga katagang "I love you Pa" at nung minsang tinulungan ko siya sa kanyang homework hindi pa siya nasiyahan na sabihin sa akin ang salitang "thank you" Nakuha pa nyang gumawa ng isang sulat na nakasulat ang "Thank you po papa, i love you po" ganyan ka sweet ang prinsesa ko kaya kahit na pasaway yan mahal na mahal ko yan.

Sa katunayan, gabi bago ako umalis ng pinas, humingi siya sa akin ng pera. Hindi ko na tinanong kung aanhin nya at agad ko siyang binigyan. Bumalik siya at patagong ipinakita sa akin ang kanyang binili. Isang kahon ng Krayola na gagamitin daw nya sa eskwela. "Anak bakit di mo sinabi sa akin para ako na ang bumili" ang tanong ko sa kanya. At alam nyo ba kung ano ang sagot nya sa akin? eto:

"Pa, ok lang po yun, alam ko naman po na hirap na kayo magwork kaya po tutulungan ko po kayo papa." Ngumiti na lang ako sa kanya at hinaplos ang ulo nya.

Sa totoo lang ang buong akala ko kaya siya humingi ng pera eh para ibili ng pagkain nya o ng chichiria na paborito nya. Sa murang edad ni Ash naiisip nya na tulungan ako kahit sa munting bagay lang. Sana ganyan siya hanggang sa lumaki siya.

Eto ang ginawa nya gamit ang krayola na binili nya sa perang hiningi nya sa akin:


Maraming mga simpleng bagay ang gngwa ni Ash na sobra kong naaapreciate, mula sa simpleng paglalambing nya hanggang sa mga materyal na ginagawa nya para ipakita ang pagmamahal nya sa amin ng mama nya at kapatid nya.

Salamat sayo munting prinsesa ko...

Ang Krayola ng buhay ko!

Parang di ako makapaniwala na umalis na naman ako ng bansa. Gaano katagal na naman kaya ako malalayo sa piling ng mga taong mahal ko? Ilang gabi kaya akong makikipaglaban sa kalungkutan? Hayy...ayoko na isipin yang mga tanong na yan dahil baka di ako makatiis at magbalak na namang umuwi. Hayyy....

Well...kwento na lang ako my dear ka-blog readers and friends.

Today is supposedly a very happy day for my daughter Ash, pero hindi naging masaya kasi ngayon mismo ang araw na iiwan ko na naman ang aking munting prinsesa.

"Hayaan mo anak mabilis lang ang araw" yan ang nasabi ko sa kanya kaninang umaga habang yakap yakap ko siya at hinahalikan para magpaalam dahil ang batang balanga ay muli na namang lilisan para mangibang bayan. Ramdam ko na napansin nya na naluha ako nung sinabi nya na "Pa, mamimiss po kita" ngumiti lang siya sa akin na parang nangungusap ang kanyang mga mata at nagsasabi na "kaya mo yan Pa" pinilit ko maging matatag sa harap nya at niyakap ko sya para di nya makita ang pagpunas ko sa aking mga mata.

Sa may pintuan nandun ang aking isang anak na parang walang kaalam alam sa mga nangyayari, hawak ang kanyang laruan nilapitan ko siya at hinalikan. Yumakap siya sa akin at humalik na may halong paglalambing. Kinarga ko siya at sinabi ko na "pano yan anak, aalis na si papa"... "Papa" yan ang ibinigay nyang sagot sa akin, paulit ulit nya binabanggit ang "Papa"..."Papa"... inilapag ko siya sa sofa hawak ang kanyang laruan na parang wala parin siyang ideya na ako'y lilisan.

Sunod kong nilapitan ang bunso ko, ang aking munting anghel na bunga ng pagmamahal. Kahit di pa nya naiintindihan, sinabi ko sa kanya ang salitang "Paalam" ayoko sana sabihin ang salitang yun sa kanya, kasi ayoko na sa mura nyang isipan, salitang "paalam" agad ang kanyang matututunan. Pero, kelangan eh... so nagpaalam ako sa kanya, matagal kong hinalikan ang bunso ko, habang ninanamnam ko ang amoy ng kanyang leeg bangong bango kasi ako sa mga sanggol.

Matagal ko siyang tinititigan, dahil hindi ko alam kung kelan ko siya ulit matititigan ng malapitan at mahahawakan kaya sinamantala ko na ang mga oras na yun. Natuwa ako ng bigla siyang ngumiti, siguro hudyat yun na nararamdaman nya ako. hinimas ko lang ang kanyang ulo bilang ganti sa ibinigay nyang mga ngiti.

Mabilis na lumakad ang oras at kinailangan ko nang magpaalam sa lahat ng tao sa bahay. Huli kong pinagpaalaman ang pinaka espesyal na tao sa puso ko, ang aking asawa. Ngumiti lang ako sa asawa ko at kumindat, sa mga sign na yun alam ko na ramdam nya kung gaano ko siya kamahal, dahil ganun ako pag naglalambing sa kanya.


"Hon, aalis na ako" ang sabi ko; Ngumiti siya sa akin at sinabi ang mga katagang "Ingat", "I love You", humalik lng ako sa mga labi nya at tuluyan na akong nagpaalam.

Bitbit ang aking laptop, sa likuran ko ay nakasunod ang aking anak na si Micron, umiiyak siya habang binabanggit ang salitang "sama", "papa", "sama" hinaplos ko lang ang kanyang mga pisngi at muli ko siyan hinalikan.

Pinilit ko na maging matatag para di sila mahirapan at di rin ako mahirapan na umalis. Malayo na ako nakatanaw pa ang anak kong lalaki, khit di ko na naririnig ang iyak nya sa, sa puso ko ay parang may kumukurot na halos gusto kong tumalon at muling yakapin siya.

Kumaway na lamang ako habang lumalayo ang sinasakyan ko. Sa tabi ko, nakatingin sa akin ang panganay ko na si Ashley, nakangiti siya; Inakbayan ko siya at sinabi ko ng pabiro "O anak nandito ka pala" Sabay yakap sa kanya at tumawa. "Si papa talaga" yan ang sagot nya sabay hawak sa hita ko.

Wala na ako ibang nasabi pa sa kanya kundi ang "Magpakabait ka anak ha" "Lagi makikinig kay Mama"

Hayyy.... Napatigil ako pansamantala habang umaandar ang sinasakyan namin ng anak ko hanggang sa makarating kami sa lugar kung saan ko ipi pick-up ang bestfriend ko, dahil kasama siya sa paghatid sa akin.

Mula sa jolibee, ang lugar kung saan ko pinick-up ang bestfriend ko hanggang sa bahay ng parents ko, masaya kaming nagkukwentuhan at nagbibiruan, ako...ang bestfriend ko...at ang anak ko. Kaming tatlo kasi talaga ang magkakasanggang dikit.

Nakarating kami sa bahay ng parents ko, nagpaalam kay Papa, at sa aking mama, na kahit na 2 weeks na may sakit, pinilit bumangon para ihatid ako kahit sa sasakyan lang.

Sa loob ng sasakyan namin, andun ang kulitan, asaran at tawanan naming magkakapatid kasama ng bestfriend ko. Pinilit naming maging masaya na parang walang iniisip na may aalis na naman sa pamilya.

"Ang hirap umalis" sabi ko sa ate maricel ko, ngumiti lang siya at sinabi "siyempre may maliit ka"

Tumawa lang ako sabay nagbitaw ng mga jokes sa kanila. Ganyan talaga ako palabiro!

Pagdating sa airport, sabi ng kapatid ko "oi cancel daw yung flight papunta ng singapore" parang bumilis ang tibok ng dibdib ko, sa isip isip ko..salamat makakauwi ako ulit! Dali dali ako lumapit sa airport staff, at tinanong kung cancelled ang flight papunta ng singapore. Oo cancel nga daw! Natuwa ako bigla, kaso nung tiningnan yung eroplano na sasakyan ko, iba pala ang eroplano na nacancel.

Nanghinayang ako bigla, at nakayukong bumalik sa upuan. Kinuha ko ang gamit ko at nagpaalam na sa aking mga kapatid, at sa anak ko na sobrang kulit.

Hayyy.... 6 hours na ako dito sa singapore! bukas balik na naman sa normal na routine, gigising ng maaga at papasok sa opisina!

Salamat na lang at nandyan ang mga krayola ng buhay ko, na nagiging inspirasyon ko sa bawat araw na kahit di ko sila kapiling, lagi parin nila pinaparamdam ang pagmamahal nila sa akin. Mahal na mahal ko kayo mga Krayola ng buhay ko! Ash,Mic, Jared... and ofcourse ang lalagyan ng Krayola..ang aking asawa! I love you hon!

Balanga City : POV about Jueteng - to legalized it or not!

Anak ng Jueteng! Yan ang nasasambit ko sa sarili ko sa tuwing makakakita ako ng nagpapataya ng Jueteng dito sa lugar namin.

Hanggang sa telebisyon at radyo ay puro jueteng ang maririnig mo sa mga balita at mas lalo pa umiinit ang issue ng jueteng dahil sa may mga nasa posisyon ang sangkot sa ganitong klaseng eskandalo. Anak ng jueteng talaga!

At ang nakakatawa pa dito bakit hindi mahuli huli ang mga sangkot sa sinasabi nilang illegal na sugal.

Hahaha!!! yan ang naging reaksyon sa tuwing maririnig ko ang balitang ito dahil para silang mga sirang plaka na paulit ulit nilang pinapangalanan ang mga taong sangkot sa issue na 'to pero walang nahuhuli hanggang ngayon.

Actually kelan pa nga ba nagsimula ang issue ng jueteng? Kung di ako nagkakamali simula pa ng administrasyong Estrada nang magsimulang uminit ang issue na to at sa katunayan ito pa ang naging dahilan ng pagkakaalis nya sa pwesto. Pero bakit hanggang ngayon wala paring solusyon ang problemang dala ng illegal na sugal na 'to.

Mga anak kayo ng jueteng, bigyan nyo ng solusyon ang problemang ito, hindi yung puro kayo dakdak dyan sa senado at kongreso! Nabigyan nyo na ng pangalan bakit hindi pa makasuhan? Lagi nyo sinasabi iniimbistigahan ninyo, eh hanggang kelan yan? Baka after 10 years may jueteng parin dito sa Pilipinas.

Hayyy....Anak ng jueteng tlga oh!

Bata....Bata...Bilis mo gumawa!

We went to church last Sunday to welcome our third child Charvin Rav Jared. While we are on our way, napangiti ako while i am looking behind me, my eldest daughter Ashley were walking alone while her younger brother Micron walking along with her mom na magkahawak ang kamay, habang ako naman ay karga ko ang bunso namin.

I have told to my self "Lumalaki na pala ang family ko" Bigla pumasok sa isip ko na parang kelan lang ay naglalaro ako kasama ng mga ibang bata, na kagaya nila nagtutumbang preso, nagtataguan, naghahabulan at naranasan ko rin maglaro ng chinese garter at piko.

Napakasarap isipin na lumalaki ang family mo, but it is more better kung kasama mo sila in every day of their life, i mean mula sa paggising hanggang sa pagtulog sana nakikita mo sila at nahahawakan. Mamimiss ko na naman ang kulitan namin ng mga anak ko, ang tawanan at ang asaran namin ng asawa ko.

Gusto kong sulitin ang mga araw na nandito ako sa piling nila, and i will make it sure na magiging masaya ang bawat araw namin na magkakasama.

Days are running fast and after 5 more days lilipad na naman ang batang-balanga papunta sa Singapore para ipagpatuloy ang commitment ko. Ilang months na naman kaya ako magtitiis ng homesick? Ilang months na naman kaya ako magiging superhero? Well, hindi ko alam at walang nakaka alam. Basta ang alam ko lang, I am doing this para sa family ko, to give them everything and provide them all their needs.

Do you have a gift like what i have? A new gift of love - Charvin Rav Jared

Rush hour of September 11, 2010 with flight 5J-538 of Cebu Pacific airlines carrying around hundred of people flying off to Diosdado Macapagal Airport Clark Pampanga, sitting on seat 7C - a seat where i always took every time i'm flying off to Philippines; There was an excited passenger named: ARVIN - and that was me! the author of this blog...

Filled with dreams and excitement to have my wife and kids being embraced once again together in my arms is what i feel during that time and God i can't really explain why!

More excitement arouse when the plane takes off and start to lift thousand feet from the ground. And together with the clouds floating at the atmosphere, lumilipad din ang isip ko while i am staring at the window right besides me.

I tried to sleep para di ko maramdaman ang oras, though its just 4 hours flight from Singapore to Philippines feeling ko parang napakahabang biyahe nito para sa isang ama na nasasabik na mayakap at makita ang pansamantalang iniwang pamilya para magtrabaho sa ibang bansa.

Time has run fast, then suddenly i woke up when one of the flight attendant offered something to eat. A cup of nissin cup noodles and a can of 7-up filled my empty stomach, dahan dahan ko kinain ang noodles kasabay ng lumilipad ko paring isip na sumasabay sa paggalaw ng ulap.

Napangiti ako ng magsalita ang Kapitan ng eroplano na sinasakyan namin. "We are now approaching Diosdado Macapagal Airport..." hindi ko na inintindi ang mga sumunod na sinabi ng kapitan, the only important thing na nalaman ko ay malapit na kaming lumapag at malapit ko na mayakap ang crayola ng buhay ko who always giving some color in my life.

At last, the time has come. Lumapag ang eroplano na sinasakyan ko at halos mapatayo ako agad para kunin ang gamit ko sa cabin.

Sa labas ng airport, natanaw ko agad ang aking prinsesa na nakatnaw sa akin na alam ko na nakikita rin ako mula sa kanyang kinakatayuan.

Ngiti ang ibinigay nya sa akin, katunayan na nakita nya ako ganung ako ay nasa gitna ng maraming tao. It is just a proof na kahit isama tayo sa napakaraming tao, makikita parin tayo ng taong mahal natin sa pamamagitan ng "personal instinct" na tinatawag.

A single smile is the only thing that i do in return, just to show to her that i saw her too and i just wink my eyes on her wishing that she saw it too.

From a distance, while im heading my way out, someone took my attention! A girl sitting in one of the bench-chair smiling at me.

I immediately approach her and give her a warm hug and kiss! And you know why i kissed her? Hmmnn...she's my wife actually! awww...

And to make this story short, we reach home around 9:30 in the evening and eat my late dinner together with my wife and kids. Adobong Manok and Baboy is the dishes that i've been requested, and she grant it. She cook it with love just for me.

After that, naligo lang ako at umakyat na kasama ni Ashley at Micron kasunod ni Chat. We slept together but my boy Micron slept with her tita Abbie.

Halos 4 na oras pa lang ako nakakatulog when my wife tried to wake me up. Sabi nya masakit ang tiyan nya na parang humihilab. I ask her to ignore it and get back to sleep instead.

Hindi siya huminto sa pag hawak sa tummy nya while she was sitting down the bed. So i stand up and touch her tummy and i ask her this words "masakit na ba talaga?" She just nod at me, so i told her ok sige maligo ka na at dadalin na kita sa hospital.

Nakarating kami sa hospital around 4:30 in the morning and with some checkup on her the nurses decided to admit her.

Oh yeah! She was labouring that time. Actually ito ang first time ko na experience to kasi most of the time wala ako sa piling nya sa tuwing nanganganak siya. So medyo kabado talaga ako at di ko alam ang gagawin ko. Pero di ko pinakita sa asawa ko yun at instead nagpakakatatag ako.

After an almost 5 hours of waiting a new gift from heaven was born, a single cry from far pass through my ears together with my sister in-law and she told me "siguro yun na yun" I just smiled at her and say..."Maybe"

Matapos ang iyak na yun i have decided to go up and went to our assigned room, ipinatawag ako ng nurse at sinabing nakapanganak na ang asawa ko.

Magkahalong saya at tuwa ang naramdaman ko dahil at last, nakaraos na ang asawa ko kahit papaano at siyempre with the help and guide of our Lord.

A new baby boy and ipinahiram sa amin ng panginoon at kagaya ng ginawa ko sa mga anak ko na si Ash at Mic, mamahalin at ibibigay ko lahat ng pangangailangan niya.

I feel so happy at talagang hinintay pa ako ng anak ko para iparamdam sa akin kung paano ba ang feeling ng isang tatay na nagwoworry habang ang kanyang asawa ay nasa loob ng ER at nagli labor.

Ang sarap isipin na hinintay lang talaga ako ng asawa at anak ko para sa ganitong karanasan.

Till here and hope you like my post!

Ouch...my Unguis incarnatus is killing me!

It was few days ago when i feel the pain on my toenail, i just ignore it for the thinking that it was just normal or just because my nail is too long and might need to cut.

Then after i feel so irritated with my toenail i cut it out using my old big nail cutter... lol! after i cut my toenail, i thought that it was the end of my misery, i mean the unusual feeling along the margins of my nails. I am wrong, actually that was the start of my nightmare.

After bathing, i try to clean my nail with the normal thing that i usually do, remove the dirt surrounds the margins and that's it. I didn't know that my nightmare will kick in as quick as a sh!t, after i put on my socks and wear my shoe i feel that there's something wrong on my feet, my toe feels so sensitive in every steps i make.

"Oh God... ang sakit ng paa ko" that's the only word that comes out from my beautiful lips (naks naman) and everytime i step napapakagat labi ako because of the pain.

I don't give a damn care about the pain and instead, i make my way to work and after a long day of work, i can still feel the irritating feeling all over my toenail. Time has past and but the pain was still there, so when i reach home i immediately take out my shoe and take a look what's happening inside my sting socks, and i am shock of what i've seen a bloody finger toe stuck on my socks. I slowly remove it feeling that it was the end of the world, i can really see the tissues bumping up on my toenail and the only thing that i can do is to shake my head while uttering this words "Aray sh!t and sakit".

I tried to think what are the real cause of this unguis incarnatus or what we usually called "ingrown". And i found out that one of the reason is our uncomfortable socks and tight shoes. But i tell to myself how could it be eh maluluwang ang medyas ko wala na ngang garter! Or if the reason is my shoe, impossible din naman dahil maluwag rin ang sapatos ko! So naisip ko, hindi kaya dahil kelangan ko na labhan ang shoes ko!!! hmmnnn...

Nangiti na lang ako at sabay sabi ng "Siguro nga dahil sobra dumi ng shoes ko kaya ako nagkaron ng ingrown"

So guys, if you don't want to suffer these pain i advice you to wash your shoes atleast once a week. And keep your socks clean and disenfected, not too tight to your feet. Wear a comfortable shoes and socks to avoid this miserable feeling of pain!

Hope you like my post! See yah!

Policeman suspended after the Manila Hostage Tragic

MANILA (AFP) - – A fifth senior policeman in the Philippines was suspended on Friday amid further revelations of bungling in the chaotic end to a hostage stand-off that left eight Hong Kong tourists dead.

The Philippine government and police have been under intense pressure all week after admitting to mistakes in the handling of Monday's hijacking of a bus in Manila by a frustrated sacked policeman who was hoping to get his job back.

Eight of the tourists and the hijacker were killed in the final stages of the day-long siege, which saw an ill-prepared Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team attempt to storm the bus but fail to get in for about 60 minutes.

Manila's police chief, Leocadio Santiago, said Friday a senior officer who joined the SWAT assault without permission had been suspended.

"We all saw him on TV. He was in the area but he was not supposed to be there," Santiago told reporters, as he explained the reasons for suspending Superintendent Nelson Yabut.

The siege was broadcast live on television and viewers around the world saw Yabut joining the SWAT personnel without wearing a helmet, bullet-proof vest or any other protective gear.

Yabut was the fifth policeman involved in the assault on the bus to be suspended. Their commanding officer also took leave as part of his efforts to take responsibility for the tragedy.

Meanwhile, Chinese authorities, already furious over the Philippines' handling of the crisis, expressed further outrage after television footage showed a Philippine flag draped over the coffin of the gunman, Rolando Mendoza.

"The person who deserves a national flag at (their) funeral should be someone of heroism, decency and integrity, not someone who inflicts atrocity on innocent lives," the Chinese embassy in Manila said in a statement.

In reaction, the government moved quickly to have the flag removed, which Mendoza's relatives placed on the coffin ahead of his funeral on Saturday.

The Philippines had planned to send a delegation to Beijing and Hong Kong for a fence-mending visit, but the Chinese government said it wanted an explanation for the police actions before allowing any diplomatic courtesies.

"We think the most urgent task is to get as clear an investigation result of the incident as soon as possible," foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Thursday when asked about the proposed visit.

National police chief Jesus Versoza said on Friday it was too early to release any results of the investigations, and pleaded for patience.

"We have a lot of things to study so this might take a long time so please bear with us," Versoza told reporters.

It remained unclear on Friday who fired the bullets that killed the hostages in the final moments of the siege.

National police spokesman Senior Superintendent Agrimero Cruz said Thursday preliminary tests indicated all died after being shot by Mendoza.

But he conceded that more tests needed to be done and Verzosa did not comment on the issue on Friday.

The police had already identified inadequate equipment for the SWAT team, allowing the media to roam around the hostage site and bad crowd control as failures that led to the deadly ending of the crisis.

Media and security experts have said there were many other major blunders, such as not taking opportunities earlier in the day to shoot Mendoza.

The Philippine military weighed into the debate on Thursday, saying one of its US Special Forces-trained elite units was offered to the police but was not used.

Officers abusing there power should be punished!

When I’m browsing my facebook page, I saw one video that hook my interest. A video of students from PMI Bacolod who’s allegedly haze the freshmen students. On the video itself you can see a mistreatment of these officers to their subordinate that cause them to be tremendously hurt and beaten by their officers.

I don’t know why they have to do such things to their subordinate, which is I think not part of their curriculum. People might think that this is stupid, but YES! These are stupid act from officers itself.

Dapat bilang officer, ikaw mismo ang maging huwaran ng mga estudyante hindi yung sa inyo pa mismo nagsisimula ang mga kagaguhan na yan.
I don’t know why the people behind this video act like they are KING and they can beat their subordinates however they want.

You crazy people must send to jail, that was unethical attitude from an officer like you. You are disgrace to our country and you must be punished by law.
Law? Ooppss sorry…Is there a law for this kind of things? Oh I forgot they are from the Philippines and justice is for all those people who are in white-collar attire. Sorry to say that but I find it true!

I hope that the local government will take action about this mishandling of the officers to their subordinate and I hope that these people will be punished accordingly. Shame on you people who’s on this video!

Maging makatao naman tayo mga Pinoy! Sirang sira na nga tayo ganyan pa ang inaasal nyo, I admit I am not perfect but to do that kind of things? HELL NO! I am not tolerating that kind of things at sana matauhan kayo mga gunggong!

Whose Fault? Hostage Drama in Manila Philippines

Wherever we are, and when we tried to read newspapers there is one topic on every front page of it - The Hostage drama in Manila Philippines.
But what is the big deal about this news and why all people are interested and getting hooked on this news. Is it because this is the talk of the town? Or maybe it is the news that shocks the nation?

For me, personally speaking as a Filipino I am not affected by this news unlike my fellow countrymen whose working abroad especially Hong-Kong, but of course my sympathy to the victim and to their relatives and love ones are there. I am not affected in the sense that nobody asks me about the situation and how are we going to handle these as a Filipino.

I must admit that this issue is not that simple, and to be honest with you when I watch the news and read some articles about the drama I felt that there is something wrong in between the person involved on the hostage taking ( Mendoza) and the people whose communicating with him (Media, Police officers, Relatives etc)

Why does these thing happen in the first place? What are the reasons why Mendoza comes up to this point of killing people? Is he under the influence of drugs? Is he stressed out or something? Or there is something “BEHIND” this drama? Well, nobody knows!

Actually when I heard the interview on one of the hostages that he had been released, I feel like Mr. Mendoza is such a nice guy, imagine those words coming from the victims saying that “At first we are scared at him, but after a while about 20 minutes we are not scared anymore” So it means Mendoza shows respect and good attitude to all the hostages – correct me if I’m wrong but whose hostage will say that their hostage taker is such a good man? Nobody right???

At the back of my mind there are questions that I need to be answered – Is it the hostage taker himself killed the hostages? Or the people who tried to assassinate the hostage taker? Well, this is another story and we all have no IDEA at all!
But what I know at this point of time that Mr. Mendoza is seeking for help to be back in the service, but why they don’t let that to happen and let this tragic become worst to the extent of killing our tourists who only want to see the beauty of our country and the people within.

To the government – how can you answer to this kind of situation? And what are the plans that clouded up on your mind to bring back the trust of the people outside our country?

Manila Hostage Drama: Philippine Tourism is Dead! 1 shot, 2 shot, Bang!

A recent incident shocks the whole nation when a former policeman hijacked one of the tourist bus with Chinese nationals and Filipino passengers together with the driver itself.

Hostages had been captives around ten in the morning, when the former policeman Rolando Mendoza seized the tourist bus from Hong Thai Travel.

At the window you can clearly see his messages all written in a white paper such as "Big mistake to correct a big decision" followed by "Big deal will start at 3:00 in the afternoon.

He released some of the hostages around 2:00 in the afternoon as what he had been promised. He demanded for few things like food and water. He also ask the media that he wanted to talk to his brother whose also a policeman assigned in Benguet Abra- a province in the Philippines.

Police assistance are on-standby while the chief of staff tried to communicate with the hostage taker, Mr. Mendoza refused to surrender despite of verbal communication in-between him and his superiors and member of the families.

At around 3'o'clock in the afternoon he declared a deadlock - It means anyone whose inside the bus will not be release until they agree with what he want.

First shot has been heard late afternoon, and a total of 8 people were killed and some are still in trauma of the tragic.

After a 12 hours of peace-talk between the hostage taker and the police man and his relatives, Mr. Mendoza armored with M16 Riffle refused the negotiation and instead he assassinate some of the hostages.

After few gunshots, Mr. Mendoza were been killed by one of Philippine National Police Sniper, with one shot on his head.

Philippine are now expecting a lower rate of tourist whose willing to visit the country after this incident and government are still investigating the real cause of the hostage drama.

4 Years Anniversarry : Batang Balanga Blog 4 na taon na!

Today was my blogs 4th year anniversary. Four years of blogging to be exact, I can still remember my first post; Its all about myself and who am i. If you want to read my first ever post, you can check it out here or you can check my archives.

Before i setup this blog, my only intention is to have a simple past-time when i feel bored, and to interact with other people by sharing my thoughts. Initially, i have no idea about blogging and i have no idea on how to monetized it.

I've heard that people are earning money through blogging, and my mentor proved that to me, so i have decided to find ways on how to earn money through internet. Until one day, i tried to sign-up from Google.com as a publisher.

After a week-long of searching on how to get my first cent, I have read that my blog need to be submitted to directories, and by doing directory submission my blog will be exposed to visitors or readers.

My submission to hundreds of directories has been paid off, cos at last i get my first $ on my google account. Days has come and my clicks are getting higher and higher from 1click down to 3 so on and so fort. From that day, i prove to myself that what my mentor told me is true na "MAY PERA SA INTERNET"

And until now i am still pursuing what i have been started - to find a way on how to make a living through internet. And i know that this is a continue learning so i won't stop studying all the possible way of how to earn money without spending even a single penny.

If you want to promote a product to sell, try visiting my clickbank portal to get an idea on how to promote other peoples products and earn money through commissions.

Balanga City : Solid Waste Program

If you were from the City of Balanga, maybe you are very much familiar with this place: General Lim Street San Jose Balanga City. If you observed from the picture, mapapansin nyo na mga tambak ng basura ang tatambad sa inyo, despites of the note na "BAWAL MAGTAPON NG BASURA" I don't know, if they uneducated people na di marunong bumasa or sadyang makakapal ang mukha ng mga tao na nagtatapon ng basura dito.

No matter how hard the city of balanga tried to maintain the cleanliness of the city, kung may mga tao namang likas na manhid at patuloy na magtatapon ng basura, i believe that there's no point of fighting for the cleanliness. Pero kung tayo mismo na residente ang magsisimula ng kaayusan at kalinisan ng nasasakupan natin, maaaring the future generation will be benefited ng mga aksyon na gagawin natin ngayon. If you want your children to suffer from different illness or disease caused by unwanted garbage scattered all over our place, then go! Ipagpatuloy nyo ang pagtapon! But if you want to have a clean, fresh and eye refreshing environment then, we have to make a move! Don't let other people throw their garbage all over our place, at magsisimula to kung tayo mismo na residente ang susunod sa batas na nagsasabing bawal magtapon ng basura sa di tamang lugar.

Sa gobyerno naman ng Balanga City, siguro dapat mas maging mahigpit ang ordinansa na ipapatupad nyo para sa kalinisan ng Balanga.

Isa sa suggestion ko ay ang mga sumusunod:
1. Pagpataw ng Multa na di bababa o di tataas sa 1000 pesos para sa mahuhuling magtatapon ng basura.
2. Pagpataw ng kaparusahang maglinis ng siyudad ng balanga sa loob ng tatlo hanggang limang araw.

I am not saying na sundin ng government ng balanga ang suggestion ko, i am just giving you an idea on how to make our people aware about the situation.

Balanga City to Singapore with love

Sa may asawa, kapatid, anak, kaibigan, at kamag-anak na OFW.
At lalo na sa mga gustong mangibang-bansa...
Nais ko rin ibahagi sa inyo, ang natanggap kong email na ito.
Maaaring makatulong ito upang lalong maintindihan ng bawa't isa ang tunay na ibig sabihin ng pagiging isang OFW (Isa ako sa milyun-milyong kababayan natin). Tiyak na may mapupulot tayong aral dito.

Hindi mayaman ang OFW - We have this notion na 'pag OFW o nasa abroad ay mayaman na. Hindi totoo yun. A regular OFW might earn from P20K-P30K per month depende sa lokasyon. Yung mga taga-Saudi or US siguro ay mas malaki ang sweldo, but to say that they're rich is a fallacy (Amen!).
Malaki ang pangangailangan kaya karamihan sa amin ay nag-a-abroad. Maraming bunganga ang kailangang pakainin kaya umaalis kami sa Pinas. Madalas, 3/4 o kalahati ng sweldo ay napupunta sa tuition ng anak at gastusin ng pamilya.

Mahirap maging OFW - Kailangan namin magtipid hangga't kaya. Oo, masarap ang pagkain sa abroad pero madalas na paksiw o adobo (hindi kc agad nasisira ito) at itlog lang tinitira para makaipon. Pagdating ng kinsenas o katapusan, ang unang tinitingnan eh ang conversion ng peso sa dollar o rial o euro. Mas okay na kami na lang ang magutom kaysa gutumin ang pamilya.

Kapag umuuwi kami, kailangan may baon/pasalubong kahit konti, kasi maraming kamag-anak ang sumusundo sa airport o naghihintay sa probinsya. Alam nyo naman 'pag Pinoy, yung tsismis na OFW ka eh surely attracts a lot of kin. Kapag hindi mo nabigyan ng pasalubong eh magtatampo na yun at sisiraan ka na.

Well, hindi naman lahat pero I'm sure sa mga OFW dito eh may mga pangyayaring ganun.

Magtatrabaho ka sa bansang iba ang tingin at trato sa gaya nating mga Pinoy, kahit na masipag at mas may utak tayo kaysa sa kanila. Malamang marami ang naka-experience na nang pang-gugulang o discrimination to their various workplaces. Sige lang, tiis lang, iiiyak na lang namin kasi kawawa naman pamilya 'pag umuwi kami sa pinas.

Besides, wala ka naman talagang maasahang trabaho sa Philippines ngayon. Mahal ang bigas, ang gatas, ang sardinas, ang upa sa apartment. Tiis lang kahit maraming pasaway sa trabaho, kahit may sakit at walang nag-aalaga, kahit hindi masarap ang tsibog, kahit pangit ang working conditions, kahit delikado, kahit mahirap. Kapag nakapag-padala na kami, okay na yun, tawag lang, "hello! kumusta na kayo?".

Hindi bato kaming mga OFW - Tao rin ang OFW, hindi kami money o cash machine. Napapagod rin, nalulungkot (madalas), nagkakasakit (na-endoscopy ako), nag-iisip (nakapag-adjust na) at nagugutom (palagi). Kailangan din ang suporta, kundi man physically, emotionally o spiritually (especially ito) man lang.

Tumatanda rin kaming mga OFW - Sa mga nakausap at nakita ko, marami ang panot at kalbo na. Most of them have signs and symptoms of hypertension, coronary artery disease and arthritis. Yet, they continue to work thinking about the family they left behind.

Marami ang nasa abroad, 20-30 years na, pero wala pa ring ipon. Kahit anong pagpapakahirap, sablay pa rin. Masakit pa kung olats rin ang sinusuportahang pamilya sa Pinas - ang anak adik o nabuntis/nakabuntis; ang asawa/gf/bf may kinakasamang iba; ang kapatid nakuntento na lang na umasa at tumambay. Naalala ko tuloy ang sikat na kanta dati, "NAPAKASAKIT KUYA EDDIE!"

Bayani kaming mga OFW - Totoo yun! Ngayon ko lang na-realize na bayani ang OFW sa maraming bagay. Hindi bayani na tulad ni Nora Aunor o Flor Contemplacion. Bayani in the truest sense of the word. Hindi katulad ni Rizal o Bonifacio na kalayaan ang ipinaglaban. Mas higit pa dun, mas maraming giyera at gulo ang pinapasok ng OFW para lang mabuhay.

Mas maraming pulitika ang kailangang suungin para lang tumagal sa trabaho lalo na't parang mga ahas at parang mga amag ang mga kasama sa trabaho. Mas mahaba ang pasensya namin kaysa sa mga ordinaryong kongresista o senador sa Philippines dahil sa takot namin na mawalan ng trabaho at sweldo.

Matindi kaming mga OFW - Matindi ang pinoy. Matindi pa sa daga, o cockroaches which survived the cataclysmic evolution.

Maraming sakripisyo pero walang makitang tangible solutions or consequences.

Malas naming mga OFW, swerte ng mga buwayang pulitiko - Hindi umuupo ang OFW para magbigay ng autograph o interbyuhin ng media (unless nakidnap o na-maltrato). Madalas nasa sidelines lang ang OFW.

Kapag lilisan ng bansa, malungkot and on the verge of tears; Kapag dumadating, swerte 'pag may sundo (madalas naman meron); Kapag naubos na ang ipon at wala nang maibigay, wala na rin ang kamag-anak. Sana sikat kaming mga OFW para may boses kami sa Kamara.

Ang swerte ng mga buwayang pulitiko nakaupo lang sila at ginagastusan ng pera ng Filipino. Hindi nga sila naiinitan ng matinding araw o napapaso ng langis; napagagalitan at nasasampal ng amo; kumakain ng paksiw para makatipid; nakatira sa compound with conditions less than favorable; nakikisama sa ibang lahi para mabuhay. Ang swerte ninyong mga buwayang pulitiko kayo, sobrang swerte ninyo.

Matatag kaming mga OFW - Matatag ang OFW, mas matatag pa sa sundalo o kung ano pang grupo na alam nyo. Magaling sa reverse psychology, negotiations at counter-attacks.

Tatagal ba ang OFW? - Tatagal at dadami pa kami hangga't hindi pa natin alam kung kailan magbabago ang Philippines , kailan nga kaya?... o may tsansa pa ba?

Masarap isipin na kasama mo ang pamilya mo araw-araw. Nakikita mo mga anak mong lumalaki at naaalagaan ng maayos na kasama ka.

Masarap kumain ng sitaw, ng bagoong, lechon, inihaw na isda, taba ng talangka.

Masarap manood ng pelikulang Pinoy, luma man o bago.

Iba pa rin ang pakiramdam kung kilala mo at nakakakuwenttuhan mo ang kapitbahay mo. Iba pa rin sa Philippines; iba pa rin kapag Pinoy ang kasama mo except ('pag hambog at utak-talangka); Iba pa rin 'pag nagkukwento ka at naiintindihan ng iba ang sinasabi mo; Iba pa rin ang tunog ng "mahal kita!", "day, ginahigugma tika"," "Mingaw na ko nimo ba, kalagot!", " Inday, diin ka na subong haw? ganahan guid ko simo ba".

Iba pa rin talaga.

Sige lang, tiis lang, saan ba't darating din ang pag-asa.

Kung may kamag-anak kang OFW mapalad ka at wala ka d2 sa kinalalagyan namin at anjan ka kasama mo ang mga mahal mo sa buhay.

Kung OFW ka at binabasa mo ito, mabuhay ka dahil ikaw ang tunay na BAYANI ng lahing PILIPINO!!!

Are you addicted with Farmville? Let me show you this!

Recently while searching for a tips and tricks on how to level up on Farmville i suddenly came up with this article about farmville secret strategy. You can check out that website to see what i am talking about.

And here's the article say:

FarmVille has turned out to be one of the most popular games played on the social networking site Facebook of late. It provides a pleasant escape to the players from their everyday chaotic life. It's interesting and engaging enough to entice people into playing FarmVille on a regular basis. It requires your everyday attention and you eventually get hooked on to it. This particular article focuses on the tactics that one can apply while playing the addictive game of FarmVille by using strategies that many aren't aware of.

You will have to begin the game by getting hold of a firm. A typical or rather the basic one consists of six ploughed patches. Two of these patches will have fully grown crops and another two will have crops that are half developed. The rest two will be left to you for planting other things. You will initially start off with only 200 coins and 5 dollars worth of FarmVille cash in the bank. You begin harvesting as this fetches you easy money. But don't go on increasing your harvest endlessly because that might lead to lose a lot of money. The best thing you can do is first clear 10 patches of land. Then harvest the one you were supposed to do and gather the money. Then move on to the next one.

Select the crop that you want to plant wisely. Crops which take up to 24 hours to mature help you earn two experience points on each plot of land. The more you proceed to the higher levels the more you earn such experience points. Potential crops help you earn quick bucks as well. Keep in mind the correspondence between seed costing and the money you earn from harvesting them as it is crucial as a FarmVille strategy. First and foremost get some cash in your bank. This can be easily done by ploughing an area of 4 plots by 4 plots. Considering you as a regular player in FarmVille you can start off with planting strawberries as they fetch you money quickly. You can choose your crops accordingly but we found that these strategies work the best.

You can compare your status with other players and you can get an idea of how to improve. You can also start helping them out. For the first 20 neighbors whom you will help a neat 20 coins and 5 experience points will be your earning. If you regularly do this you will end up earning a lot. Then arrives the step of buying a 16 by 16 plot of land. Also known as Homestead, this will be your first step in expanding your farm. Ribbons are one more interesting factor of FarmVille. Start accepting them instead of ignoring. If you can follow this step, you can master the game with a simple FarmVille strategy.

That's what is written on the articles, actually it really blows me up when i saw his farm and craving on how to have a farm same as what he hajavascript:void(0)s.

If you guys wanted to have the same farm with him you better try it out!

Oh here's the link anyway: Farmville Secret Code

After 4 years of blogging! A new update for my personal blog

Update?... Hmmnn...I can't really imagine that this blog is already 4 years old. That's quite old in terms of website or blog.I mean 4 years is a very long years of blogging am i right?
