Dear diary,

It was jazz an ordinary day. The skies were clear, the birds were chipping. Ang ganda-ganda ng araw! Nasa SM MOA ako noon at katatapos ko lang mamili ng groceries. Timing naman nasa foodcore si Angel Locsin, nagpro-provoke ng movie nya..

Grabe, andaming fans, pull-packed talaga! Dahil fans nya rin ako, nakipila rin ako. Then suddenly, out of the loo, may bumulong sa akin ng: “Indaaaayyyy. …..” Huh? It sounded like a familiar sound. Who can it be now?

“Dodong!” sigaw ko. Napalakas yata voice ko. Kasi the other fans turned their backs to their behind at napatingin sa amin. Sabi ko “Sorry, I didn’t mean to be loud and proud.” Hinawakan na lang ni Dodong ang kamay ko at lumayo kami from the crowds. “Kamusta na Inday? Do you come here open? tanong nya. “Bihira lang, Dodong. I’m just droppings by. Ethnic and schedule ko eh” sabi ko.
Memories came flushing in my mind. How can I forget to remember Dodong? Siya na may mata ni Piolo, dimple ni Aga, at bigote ni Rex Cortez.. He’s every woman’s dreamboat. I was just starting my tour of duty kay ate noon nang unang makilala ko si Dodong. Contraction worker siya sa ginagawang bahay sa tapat namin. Naging kami for a while then after that were not an item anymore.

“Tanghali na Inday. What did you say we have lunch together?” tanong ni Dodong. “I don’t mine” sagot ko. Sa restaurant, nilapitan kaagad kami ng waiter. “What’s your odor sir?” sabi nung waiter kay Dodong. “Do you have porkshop?” tanong ni Dodong. “Yes sir” sabi nito. “Our porkshop with a resistance to the teeth of boast of our chef. Domestic careful selection of pork with little fat of female liking is used. The exquisite cooking which repeated trial and error and was completed. It also has healthy vegetables with salad feeling fully” dagdag ni ya. “And you mam?” sabay tingin naman sa akin. Hmmm… mukhang masarap yung porkshop. Pero I’m cutting down on my  carbon kaya pinigilan ko. “I’ll just have water, thanks. Liquidate diet ako eh.” sagot ko.

Pagkatapos kumain, nagyaya si Dodong manood ng sine…. Teka teka, this is going too far. Besides, it’s a long, long way to run. “Reality chess, Dodong. May asawa na ako, si Bhong. As a mother of fact, I’m happily married” pagmamalaki ko. “Di na pwede yung tulad ng dati. Sorry pero I didn’t expect you still have more feelings than I expected…. i don’t want you getting the way.  Past is fast.. Therefore, cause and defect.” dagdag ko pa. Tumahimik sya. Parang may language barrel na namagitan sa amin. The seconds that passed seemed like fraternity. Di naglaon, nagsalita na rin sya. “I don’t care less!” sigaw ni Dodong. Shocks, give me a brake! Eeeeewww! The nerd ng taong ito para sigawan ako! To think it’s his other womans that caused our separation to part.

Kinabahan na ako. I felt speedbumps all over my body and was having panic attach. Tinalikuran ko siya at nagmadali akong lumakad palayo. Pero sumunod pa rin siya like a monkey on my butt. Hanggang sa makakita ako ng security guard. Biglang nawala si Dodong.

“Excuse me kuya, pwedeng magtanong?” sabi ko sa mamang guard. “Of course miss, I can help you with my pleasure.” sagot niya. “Saan po ba ang exit? Could you point me to the right erection? I got lost in my eyes.” “Diretso lang.” sabi niya. “Then turn right anytime with care.” “Thanks for your corporation” sabi ko. Buti na lang nandun si kuya. Pero saglit lang, I smell something peachy. As I turned, nakita ko na namang nakasunod si Dodong! Delaying static lang pala kanina ang pag disappear nya. “Nyahahaha! You can run but you can hide, Inday. No matter where you go, there you are!” pananakot nya.
Oh no, is this the end? This is too much, I feel degradable. My world started falling afar. Then suddenly, Bhong come from behind! Dodong was caught to the act! In the matter of minute, it’s all over. I’m out of arm’s way. “Thanks Bhong, my love. But how did you?” bago pa man ako matapos, sabi niya: “I was in the neighborhood. Fans din ako ni Angel eh. I heard you  shout but at first I didn’t give it a thought. Pero nang makita ko kayong magkahawak ng holding hands, then i give it a thought. I know something is a missed.” From then on, Dodong did not brother me again. In fact, he didn’t even sister me. As in platonic at wala na talaga… he’s such a losser talaga.

Pero kami ni Bhong, heto, shoot sailing pa rin ang relationship. Lalo pa ngayon, open na kami sa isa’t-isa at walang exhibitions. i feel I’m on cloud. Grabeh.

Lovingly yours,

Jennifer Bernadette Marie

I bet everyone is now as busy as we were preparing for the holidays. It’s time to take down the holiday decors and store them until December. It’s time to finish the leftovers before they get spoiled. It’s time to get back and till the land.

So long, Christmas holidays. Until next time. (And it’s gonna be, hello summer? Yey!)

Before we finally wrap up and bid farewell to the holidays, let me congratulate the people behind these touching, inspiring videos. You folks did a good job. Two thumbs up!

Zaijan Jaranillo (or Santino, as he is more known) is a really charming little boy. No doubt, his innocent looks can launch a thousand opportunities for every product or service he promotes. Kids, as always, are the best endorsers.

As he’s considerably joining the ranks of other (then) famous child stars like Nino Muhlach and Aiza Seguerra, I just wonder what his future beholds once he’s no longer a little kid. Well, there are successful fews, Vilma Santos is for one. I’m hoping the best for this boy. He’s such a cutie that I want to bring him home and treat him as if he is my own, yay!

Going back to the videos, here’s the lyrics of Globe Telecom’s commercial song, Dasal:

Ang tangi kong dasal / Ngiti nya’y ibalik / Mapawi’t mawala / Luha’t pag-iisa.
Ang tangi kong dasal / Aruga ng ina / Kanyang maramdaman / Dagat man ang pagitan.
Ang tangi kong dasal / Doon sa nalalayo / Sila ay bantayan. / Sa langit, gabayan.
Sila ay samahan Mo. / Sa lumbay, ilayo. / Maging san man sa mundo.
Ang tangi kong dasal / Sila ay bantayan / Sa langit, gabayan. / Sila ay samahan mo. / Sa lumbay, ilayo.
Maging san man sa mundo

Without a doubt, the best Christmas station ID this year goes to…ABS-CBN!

Here’s the lyrics of ABS-CBN’s station ID song entitled Star ng Pasko. Lyrics by Robert G. Labayan and music by Marcus and Amber Davis:

Kung kailan pinakamadilim / Ang mga tala ay mas nagniningning / Gaano man kakapal ang ulap / Sa likod nito ay may liwanag
Ang liwanag na ito / Nasa ‘ting lahat / Mas sinag ang bawat pusong bukas / Sa init ng mga yakap / Maghihilom ang lahat ng sugat
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw / Walang iba kundi ikaw / Salamat sa liwanag mo / Muling magkakakulay ang pasko / Salamat sa liwanag mo / Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Tayo ang ilaw sa madilim na daan / Pagkakapit bisig ngayon higpitan / Dumaan man sa malakas na alon / Lahat tayo’s makakaahon
Ang liwanag na ito / Nasa ‘ting lahat / Mas sinag ang bawat pusong bukas / Sa init ng mga yakap / Maghihilom ang lahat ng sugat
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw / Walang iba kundi ikaw / Salamat sa liwanag mo / Muling magkakakulay ang pasko / Salamat sa liwanag mo / Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Kikislap ang pag-asa / Kahit kanino man / Dahil ikaw Bro, dahil ikaw Bro / Dahil ikaw Bro / Ang star ng pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo / Muling magkakakulay ang pasko / Salamat sa liwanag mo / Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw / Walang iba kundi ikaw / Salamat sa liwanag mo / Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw / Walang iba kundi ikaw / Salamat sa liwanag mo / Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw / Walang iba kundi ikaw / Salamat sa liwanag mo / Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Dahil ikaw Bro, dahil ikaw Bro / Dahil ikaw Bro / Ang star ng pasko!

It does show that Christmas is really meant for kids like Santino, and intended to remember Bro’s humble birth.

I’m addicted to this song. It’s a station ID of one of the biggest channel networks here in my country.^^ The theme of the song is about God giving light to others and because Christmas is coming He is the star for that special day.^^

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

May God Bless you all!

I just love the Song. Have a meaningful Christmas everyone

Mabuhay!

I have long created this blog, and for years I wanted to have one which I could call my online “diary”, but I rarely had the free time to do so. There were times when I had the time but didn’t know what to write about [or perhaps just  scared to write for whatever I feel right at that moment ].

Now that I finally have the courage to do so, I would want my entry to be a positive one. And since Christmas is just a few weeks from now, 37 days to be exact, I am sharing through my blog ABS-CBN Kapamilya’s Christmas 2009 Station ID. Ay lav eeeet to the highest!

How about you?

TV Patrol World

Mahilig ako sa litrato, larawan, kodakan, pitsur, kamera, potograpiya at ano pa mang may kinalaman dito.

Wala akong kamera. Ang kamera kong di-film pa ay sira na. Ang kamerang pinadala ng kapatid ko ay nangangamba pang makalas na. Ang cellphone kong may kamera ay nanakaw pa. Hay! Ang sarap ng buhay talaga .

Mula pagkabata sa lahat ng okasyon may natatabi akong larawan bilang alaala. Minsan naroon ako, minsan mga kamag-anak o mga kaibigan o maging mga nakilala lamang na kung sino. Lahat ng iyon ay may isang dakot ng alaala- masaya man o may luhang kasama. Mahilig din akong kumuha ng larawan, mga bagay na simple at kakaiba, mga larawan ng taong nakasimangot o nakatawa, mga larawan ng taong kakilala o nadaan lang sa kalsada, kalikasang maganda o nasira na. Mayroon din akong mga larawang kinuha mula pagkabata hanggang sa pagkadalaga- binyag, kaarawan, bakasyon, outing, debut at kung anu-ano pa.

Ngayon ay wala na.

Lahat ng larawang iningatan at tinuring na yaman na nakatipon at laging dala-dala ay nabasa at naglaho na.

Ang mga bagay na kailanman ay hindi na maibabalik ay nasa alaala na lang talaga, wala ng maipapakitang larawang kayganda. Ano nga ba ang aking magagawa? Lubog sa tubig at putik ng madatnan ang mga larawang pinagka-ingat ingatan upang sana ay ibahagi sa susunod na henerasyon ng aking lahi.

Ngunit…

Wala na… wala na….

Sa lahat ng nawalang bagay sa aking buhay ng dahil sa bagyong nagdaan, hindi ko masukat ang panghihinayang na naramdaman sa mga larawan kong itinuturing kong yaman.

Wala na… wala na…

Ngunit wala na talaga akong magagawa kundi magpaalam sa mga bagay na nasira at nawala…

Korni man pero…

Paalam na mga litrato kong mahal!

i would really have to say the deed was okay if only he was in love with the girl. but because this is a good stunt for their upcoming movie, i cannot blame Richard Gutierrez for not resisting to this great opportunity of advertising himself as the “hero of the day”, with a little help from the ever whining Cristine Reyes. but, just like his acting, poor.
