Ballet in SM Mall of Asia
June 15, 2009
When Hannah introduced herself on the stage during her Senior Casa Graduation in Montessori, she announced loudly and proudly to the audience that she wants to be a ballet dancer. It was a unique aspiration among tons of kids wanting to be doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers, politicians and police men. It generated quite a positive stir in the audience that encouraged my wife and I to support her in her dreams. So we took her to a ballet studio to start training.
Baybayin/Alibata - the Lost Writing Script of the Philippines
June 13, 2009
For my “111st Philippine Independence from Spain and Colonialism” post, I decided to unearthed the forgotten Filipino writing script our forefathers called as Baybayin.

The Modern Filipino Alphabet
Today, we are using The Modern Filipino Alphabet or Ang Bagong Alpabetong Filipino. We have 28 characters in total, these are: Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Ee, Ff, Gg, Hh, Ii, Jj, Kk, Ll, Mm, Nn, Ññ, N͠g n͠g, Oo, Pp, Qq, Rr, Ss, Tt, Uu, Vv, Ww, Xx, Yy, Zz.
The 16th letter ‘Ng’ is pronunced as endzi (/ŋ/) in itself or as in ping-pong or wing when already used in a word. Also if you noticed, I wrote the letter endzi with a tilde above it. This was the original way of writing endzi.

How to Identify Phising E-mail
June 5, 2009
A few days ago, I received another email claiming to be from Yahoo! asking for my Username, Password, Date of Birth, and Location.
I thought that this was another phishing email. The letter asked me to reply those personal details within 24 hours. This mail is just one of those very suspicious phishing scams that you might encounter in the near future. So generally, I will give you tips on how to identify a phishing email.
1. By just looking at the content you can see who sent the email or from whom system does the email originate. It could be sent through the E-mail systems of Yahoo!, Google, AOL, MSN, etc.

The best way to say goodbye
June 2, 2009
My writing is inspired by extremely emotional experiences that are either happy or really really sad. Usually I do not find it hard to come up with the words I need to create a full post. This time, I am challenged.
A month ago, my father suffered a heart attack. He was in the intensive care unit for 3 days but luckily recovered and eventually discharged. Last week, he passed away after being in a coma for 4 days. He had a smile on his face as his heart stopped.

How would you feel if your son turned out gay?
May 29, 2009
Earlier today, my 3 year old son walked up to me with a folded Ben Ten card and a round piece of a rubber mat (that we use on the floor of the kids playroom) and was doing the act of putting on powder. He was holding the card like a compact.
My first reaction was to laugh but instead I asked him what he was doing. He said, he was putting on powder in a matter-of-fact tone. I then followed with “Only Mommy’s do that!”. That was what came out of me as I felt the girls vs. boys thing was too complicated for such a young mind. Besides he can learn the physical difference later on.
NO. I DON’T NEED YOUR AUTOGRAPH YOU SELF CENTRIC JERK
May 26, 2009
During the weekends, I had a desire to do what I really wanted to do in Hawaii in the first place besides education and work. That is to live my life to the fullest and have a grand of an adventure.
No one is given this much for a new beginning.
Especially to the fact that my co-worker noted that I’m becoming one like them because coming to work at JOB-1 seems to be the highlight of my day.
Balara
May 26, 2009
There are no fields of amber grain, no stalks of rice that bend with the wind, greeting you as you begin the day with the sun just a little above the horizon lines. Save for the trees that surround the neighboring houses and the few bushes that line-up through the narrow sideways of the road, this is the closest you can get to nature in this bustling city where the only things immaculate are the concrete jungles that spread towards the sky. In this small lot in a seemingly forgotten area in Quezon City, a wooden house with patches of cement blocks will be my home for the next four years. Four years at the least. At the most, Bathala knows until when. Professors be kind? I can only regress into wishful thinking.
Blind Man Sees. Mute Writer Writes.
May 26, 2009
I cut my hair personally recently. It was painful in a more physical way, you see, I’m not that attached to a clump of dead tissue arranged in strands on the top of my scalp.
But my legally blind step-father is.
I have no major beef against him, in fact I think of him as a great man. Wallowing in the pool of regret, he musters up an evangelical note that would make a salesman cry and me actually check out the military. Tough sad to say, 30 — according to GQ (Mar 2009)– dead bodies of soldiers went to The Garden (aka Arlington National Cemetery) on the 6th anniversary of 9-11.
On a weekday eve, he told my mother for the umpteenth time that my hair was unruly and long.
Somewhere along the background, I think I heard my mother suggest to him to hostage my lodging opportunity for his demands. (so low)
She called me, and like her, I was really pissed and decided to take an action that’ll make them quiet, hopefully forever. (more :Blind man Sees. Mute Writer Writes.)

Can’t shake the jingles
May 13, 2009
Three in one plus one. Ice craze Ice craze, Jolly Ice craze!
These are some of the ad jingles that run through my head as I try to sleep every night. For some reason my two boys have caught the tune and have been jumping to the music of these TV commercials every chance they get.
Heretics and Monkeys
May 11, 2009
(First Sunday of May)
It was after my mom’s lecture that first he spoke out again with the same arguments on why should I cut my hair.
I really cant believe him that much of his preaching because he cant follow much of it himself.
The one that stands out is the fact that he told me to go to church every Sunday.
After months of laziness and procrastination, I have finally gone to church. One of the Readings was about The Good Shepherd. Something about listening and protection.
A couple of people mistook my fedora, which was upside down on a nearby table, for those holy water hand dips.

CITE Technical Institute, Inc. - How did I Become CITEnian?
April 28, 2009
I graduated high school way back 2004. It was my pleasure to receive an
scholarship grant from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) as an aid for my college education, which prompted me to enroll Information Technology at the Cebu Institute of Technology (CIT). But, before finishing the DOST-SEI Summer Orientation and Enhancement Program (SOEP); I met a CITE Electronics Department Head - who happened to be my SOEP trainer for Analytic Geometry and Trigonometry. His name is Engr. Jose Roland M. Flores. I love the subjects he taught, and I like the way he teach. He is the one I considered the most influential person who encouraged me to enroll at CITE. He referred me to the CITE scholarship coordinator named, Mr. June Capuyan. I talked to him about the school and I was informed that there was still a single slot for the CITE Electronics batch fourteen. I’ve heard a lot about the school when I was still in high school but never tried to google it until the last day of the month-long SOEP training. I googled about CITE and finally realized the importance of its mission to the out-of-school youth. It was five years ago when I really need to make the best choice. I consulted my friends and family - Why not I try studying at CITE? Though I was hesitant to cancel my enrollment at Cebu Institute of Technology, I managed to decide in withdrawing my enrollment.
I rushed to CITE scholarship coordinator informing him that I already made a decision - I am going to enrol at CITE!
PLDT Unlawfully Disables my Landline Plus SIM
April 24, 2009
As everyone who reads my blog knows, I maintain several active mobile numbers —3 to be exact. Globe, Sun, and a prepaid wireless landline from PLDT. Globe and Sun are my active lines, meaning, I regularly reload prepaid credits whenever it reaches zero. While I only reload my PLDT Landline Plus whenever the need arises (frequent travels, business transactions etc.)

Privacy, Yes! Negativity, No!
April 12, 2009
I really don’t understand why some online sellers post the details of their transactions — like the buyer’s full name and what he/she bought. If I were the buyer, I certainly would not want that. It’s like going to the mall and buying something, and the saleslady going to the PA system and announcing to everyone “Attention! Miss Jane Doe just bought panties sized XXL.”
One more thing that turns me off is the negativity of many sites. It’s common to see statements like “If you can’t pay blah blah blah, then don’t bid/buy.” Then there are halls of shame and blog posts declaring war against bogus buyers.
Butterfly Kisses
April 10, 2009
Last week, my father suffered a heart attack. He has diabetes and all the complications that come with it, but you never really think about close calls until it actually happens to you. We have always talked about preparing for the inevitable and we all (mom and us kids) agree that my dad has lived a full life. But you realize how unprepared you really are when you get a phone call in the middle of the night and you have a crying hysterical sister on the other end telling you to rush to the hospital where the doctors are trying to save your father.
Flowers for AJ
April 3, 2009
These two long stemmed roses are for AJ. They were given to my dad, who handed them out to me and my mom while tears were about to stream down his cheeks, this morning during the Baccalaureate Mass held in her school, she was supposed to graduate from secondary education tomorrow.
Sadly, AJ won’t be there to receive her awards for being an excellent student, nor even her diploma for a job well done.

Help for AJ

This is an excerpt of a blog entry at Zoe Grapho’ s blogsite (http://hazelsheryllchua.blogspot.com/2009/03/help-for-aj.html)

Missing the Relationship Comfort Zone
March 28, 2009
Sometimes I cringe whenever friends would talk to me about how boring their relationships with their SOs have become and how much they’ve been craving for some “spice”. In my previous relationships, I don’t remember having felt that way. It’s always been that I’m so comfortable in the relationship and then suddenly something happens that necessitates breaking up with the other person or that the relationship comes to its natural death. But never did I really complain that I got “bored” with it.
For the last 2 years, I’ve been single and so far it’s the longest time that I’ve stayed single (except of course, the time before I had my first relationship). And right now, I’m feeling that little vacant space inside me that was previously occupied by a warm feeling of being in a relationship. I miss the relationship comfort zone actually.
