Ahoy there, matie!

IT'S TOO LATE TO 'POLOGIZE.. TOO LATE.
Hi again, you. It's been quite a while since I posted something. I know. I am a terrible blogger. However, it's quite obvious from the title that I'm that kind of a person that doesn't stay at home at all. Ergo, I do have the right to post just now. In spite of my long absense, I know you're still there. You'll always be there, my patient and kind stalker. Rright. Anywho, I'm back. And just to make it worse, I didn't go anywhere. Really. I just stayed at home. Yeah. I'm a terrible blogger. Hehe.
OLDSMOBILE.
Last Saturday, the whole gang(I'm pertaining to my family) went to Jersey City for the celebration of Te Ghe and Popoy's birthdays. It was fun. The only problem we had was the climate. Fall season is starting to be felt now. Leaves are starting to fall down from trees. Mountains are starting to turn yellow and brown. And it's getting colder. See, Kuya Derence was thinking of a barbeque at the backyard with liempo and chicken kind of party. So we were all at the backyard. Freezing. The wind is getting cold now. Not that I'm complaining. I love it when it's cold. Masarap matulog pag gabi. Lalo na pag may mayayakap. Pft. All I have is an unan. So much for that reason. Anyone I can hug at night? Just let me know, ok? Don't be shy. We went home late. This is where my real story begins. See, I promised to do a videoclip of some sort for our pastor on Sunday. That pastor is my dad. I did not even start thinking about it 'til 11pm. So, with my exhausted body, I struggled to gain focus and tried my best to think of something to show the next day. 11:30p.m., I have nothing on my mind. I was really tired. The result? I took a nap and tried to wake up after an hour. I hate it. My fault parin naman. Cramming has its consequences. I thought that I could still do it just like when I was in school. Weh, ang hirap na magstay up ngayon. Ang hirap magisip after 12. I still up late from time to time though, but the difference is that I really don't try to think that much. I exchanged my books for internet surfing and talking on the phone. That doesn't require that much thinking I guess. Well, I guess it's different. But yeah, trying to accomplish something in the middle of the night is quite a challenge for me nowadays. Every thirty minutes, I run to the bathroom to wash my face to stay awake. Grr. Hehe. So, after 3 hours of restless pursuit to finish the video. I did it. I'm so "frrrrawd-duh!" of myself. I ended at 5. The funny thing about it after saving it, I didn't go to sleep yet. I spent 45 minutes of my sleeping time supposed to be.. watching TV. Talk about relearning how to use my time wisely. Believe me. That was a long night alright.
SATURDAY WORK WITH THE FELLOWSHIP
In spite of a beautiful sunny morning, all I wanted was to be in my bed. Resting my eyes. The usual. But unfortunately, I was not. I woke up at 6am to get ready.. ready? for work. Pft. I already worked for five days. Give me my two days of rest, will ya? My complaining body told me. It was held in an authentic Baptist Church. Yep, with the tainted glass windows and all. It was the annual Pastors' meeting for MNYBA. There were supposed to be 200 pastors listed to come, but gladly to say, only almost 50 came. The rest were church goers and officers. All I can say is this.. even pastors argue with each other. Of all the information that were discussed that morning, there's always this specific pastor who goes the other way around. Always "ney" or against everybody. If we're not in our sane minds, we would be throwing him out. But yeah. My job that day was to make them all their clergy identification cards. IDs. Believe me. They're like girls who complain about their look too. I think I wasted a few plastic cards because I have to redo some of the IDs. They say that they don't look good on their pictures. Hehe. It's weird. And they don't smile. I think 2 out of 50 pastors I took pictures smiled. The rest looked like a mugshot. At the end, I was the last one who finished due to their demands. I was the last to leave. Pft. It was interesting though. I got to see how pastors communicate with each other. I lived with a pastor my whole life. And I thought that he's the only one who talks like that. It was kinda relieving to say that he's not the only crazy pastor around. So yeah. Me being a pastor someday?? I don't know yet. We'll wait for His leading. As for now. Me sit on the pue.
CHANGE.
I'm happy to say that in the course of my life away from blogging, someone caught my attention again. I just want to say. Hey, I'm happy right now. Thanks. That's all I have to say. I know it's not enough. I'll tell more about it next time. Thanks for your time, my friend.

Afternoon Brain Thunderstorm
Posted by bhoodski at 01:38 PM on July 5, 2007
Ok. It has been a while since I last left you a gruelling post with a font that only a Parisian mouse could read. Thinking about it, it was really terrible that day. Well, not that much terrible like the past weeks. Highlights of the week we're quite heart shattering and mind blowing. For your sake and mine, we'll skip the cruelty of the life-decisions. But then, we have nothing to talk about. Ha, the irony of deciding to post but not willing to share. Win-lose situation? I don't know. I didn't bet or compete on anything. You decide.
Anywho, I've been thinking late about where my life's direction is heading right now. I see it right now.. I have my road right there in front of me. The weird part about is that I can't see what's ahead beyond 5 feet. It's funny because I remember a line in Pirate's of the Carribean 3, the Captain is thinking whether Jack Sparrow actually planned ahead or just making on-the-spot decisions. Am I planning ahead or making on-the-spot decisions? I mean planning ahead won't hurt me that much. It worked out for Jack Sparrow what he did. Where do I go? I mean there are so many turns I see every mile, but do I take it? Or should I just keep going straight? Ahk, questions.
Live Free Or Die. Hard.
We ended our church a few weeks ago. It was tough. There's no one coming anymore. It's sad because the way I see it, we looked like prophet Habakkuk, who in spite did everything he could to spread the Word and evangelize. No one really came and cared about what he said. I felt like Habbakuk. yep. Oh well. God has His reasons. To think about it, our church gave us silent but steady 7 years of ministry. I should be happy about that, right? Without her, we wouldn't get this far. I woudn't get this far. My spiritual life would not mature if it wasn't for her. A piece of my heart belongs to you, GGGC. This month we started attending a new church in Jersey City. The City Chapel. It looks like a new adventure for us because the church is still young. There's so much more.. but I have to go.. back to work. hehe. Later.

On Line.
So, what's so good about Filipino Channel? Last Wednesday, my filipino telenovela obsessed sister finally got us a TFC connection on directtv. I think she's been wanting to have that for the longest time. Hence, it's here... and what do you get? *viola* classic all day of tele-seryes. I basically took a crazy attempt to gaze on the channels, kasi I think it's more than one. So there's TFC. GMA. Kapamilya Channel?? DZMM(just audio). Myx Channel(weird because it's always playing fat Korean rappers... FAT KOREAN RAPPERS, people!). There's one channel that I really don't really know what's it about. A Movie channel and I think another just audio request thing.. So yeah.. that's everything I guess. I was just amazed how they made it so clear and made it look like hi-def. I got the chance to see clips of "Abangan ang susunod na kabanata" the other day. That originally aired during mid 90's I think, but it was all clear. Man, as if I could really check if Jolina had pimples that day. Yes, it's that clear. I have to give directtv some props for that. But going back to reality, there's just something about filipino shows that just make your eyes drowsy. I don't know if it's just me, but I feel that whenever they watch something on the other room, even though when I only hear it as if there's always the feeling that it's twelve o'clock noon and you're walking on a hut sunny day. You just want to eat tuyo and go take your siesta time with mr. pillow. Errr, now I can't even shake it off anymore. There's this thing in the back of my head that makes me smell something like there's someone frying fish.. ALL THE TIME. It's troubling. I really can't help it. I honestly was against this TFC connection idea, but what can I do? one against everybody.
I'm not a filipino hater. Really. I just don't like the feeling of what the sound of filipino shows bring into my head. I feel like there's a carinderia near by. I feel the heat of the tropical heat on my skin. I smell the smoke of jeep emissions that make me want to look at the mirror to check if my nose is black already. I guess I just have to deal with it. Haay, I'm in a filipino house now alright.
KULITI?
My left eye is hurting this morning. Don't know why. I can see through it, but it hurts when I blink. I kept checking it on the mirror, and I look a little "banlag"?? tama ba yun? To make the record straight, I DID NOT PEEK AT ANYTHING.<<< a filipino myth that if you peek at something bad, your eye will get infected. Silip-ing. hehe. Honestly. I'm a good boy.
Here I go again. Last day at work. TGIF. Weekends are coming, baby! yeah! Oh yeah, by the way... the manager told me that starting today, they will train me to become the next manager. I don't know if I should be happy or something, but I feel weird about it. It sound good alright, but I don't know.. it requires an extra commitment. COMMITMENT. Doesn't that scare you? lol. I don't know. I really don't.
