When friendster still rules

I found the scrapbook I made for my husband on our first anniversary as boyfriend/girlfriend beside our bed and decided to look at it again. It was a lil weird at once. You know, when you can't remember how exactly it felt while writing each caption or posting pictures in it. But I found myself smiling and writing my CURRENT comment on the things I wrote there. It was fun and cute. And we totally looked different.

More than the fun, I found greater appreciation on what my husband and I have right now. I can't believe that years ago I was writing about our future together and now, we are in the present of our future. 

I still love him, now that Facebook is a phenomenon, but more than I love him when friendster still rules.

SONG FOR THE MOMENT: Fix you by Coldplay

...when you lose something you can't replace

when you love someone but it goes to waste

could it be worse...

lights will guide you home

and ignite your bones

and i will try to

fix you.

Girls, BEWARE!

Did you know that SPERM can live for three (3) hours in a toilet seat? And yes!

So if you can't be good, be extremely careful. Who would want to be sperminated by a toilet seat?! lol!

Wakeboarding can be my life!

I always thought that there is a big chance that I may excel in something that is physically challenging. I may be slender and may look frail, but I know with my determination and competitiveness, I can make it.


I just experienced the best adrenaline rush after more than five years when I went to Camsur Watersports Complex (CWC) this weekend. Gawd! It was really fun and I can't seem to have enough of it!


Wakeboarding (from Wikipedia) is a surface water sport which involves riding a wakeboard over the surface of a body of water. It was developed from a combination of water skiing, snow boarding and surfing techniques.


The good thing about CWC is it is man-made and they have beginners spot. So you don't have to test your skill in open water. It gives you an additional amount of confidence to do it. 


I was unsuccessful during the first and the second time I tried. Unlike my husband who succeeded to finish a lap without falling on his first try. But I was able to master the technique on the third and successfully finished and turn during my last ride. 


I promise myself I'd go back. And if that happens, I'll try the ramp and just let wakeboardingbe my life! hahahA!

here I am trying it on land

Holy Week 2010, not so holy anymore.

It's funny when I was younger, I find Holy Week the most boring and most awkward week. I can't play. I can't even shout or make my voice louder and can't eat meat. It was also a scary week. There were beliefs that since Jesus Christ is dead, evil spirits are stronger and more powerful. It is as if they will hunt you.  I can't even move freely because I was afraid to get wounded. And if I do, it would take time to heal because the Healer is dead.

When I get a lil older, Holy Week became a general cleaning week. I remember my mama telling us that we have to get up early so we can finish everything. sabi nga ni mama, "minsan lang ako sipagin." So whenever she says "Go!", we have to do it.

But more than anything else, Holy week is just a stay-at-home-with-the-family week for us. We rarely go out or have an excursion during this time unlike other families do. I remember the first time we had an excursion during the holy week. It was a black saturday and I was asking the elders if it is ok to go out and have fun when Jesus christ is still dead.

Now, I noticed that this occasion has become more festive than peaceful. Instead of people reflecting and fasting, most of us go out of town for vacation, beach parties and have fun. And I am one of them. Though, I must say that I was never the type who participates in Senakulos or Pabasas. I didn't grow up doing the Bisita Iglesia and Stations of the Cross (just tried it this year). It's just sort of strange when you see that tradition is actually changing. And the change is something you can't really tell if it's good or bad. I just can't decide that.

Nevertheless, I am glad that there is a large amount of Filipinos in the provinces and some in the cities who continue the Holy Week tradition. I am not saying that I am ok with how they do it, like procession of the statues, I just think of it like paganism.

Although it seems that this occasion may not as holy as before, at least there is a part of you who still celebrated this event in the way you know how. Hope you still gave thanks regardless of who and what you believe in.
