But I guess they are right, Opposite attracts
For whatever you think of yourself
You will attract people who will take advantage of it.

I remember a bob ong line.

“Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang taong malapit sayo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo.”
- Use your heart to take care of people close to you,Use your mind/wisdom to take care of your self-

I agree, but sometimes if the heart and mind is mixed. And being on that can make you do stupid things, or even end up in a stupid situation

I am settled on what I am now and I know that someone is missing, but do I really need someone?

another line by the mighty bob ong I remembered:

“ayokong nasasanay sa mga bagay na pwede namang wala sa buhay ko ”
- I dont want to be reliant on things that I can live without -

Maybe that says it all, for now I just don’t know.

The sideshows start at before 8:00PM onwards as an appetizer of the launch and wowwoweee(not the kapamilya show) we are greeted by the Samba Girls In Body paints themed with Rio de Janeiro carnival.

Side shows are great and what I do with it is as follows,

The Spoils

I got my picture with one of the CDO Samba Girls.

This is my moment, I guess, because this one is what I waited for a long while and yes I got an invite to one of the hottest party in town, in which FHM magazine will party in celebration of this years Sexiest Women in the world. So to be ready what would I need? Below are the Checklist.

1. The Event

2. The Invite

3. The Tickets

4. The Gear

In the evening a looming darkness is visible but I was surprised and a bit shocked to see and experienced while having dinner that the rain poured hard and lightningstorm broke out of the darkness, It isn’t just the regular lightningstorm I ever experienced in my life, because most of the lightningstorm hit near the area I live.

Somewhat this things and phenomenon can signify things in my life, I don’t know but weird and freak events such like this means something, because in the past when something that I cannot agree happens to someone I love dearly be whatever that is, a freak event or a weird feeling is experienced.

I still care but would it still mean something to that someone. Well it’s upto the person. I don’t want to give up this. but I hope I can use this to help.

The storm is now gone at the time this was written, the weather is calm as what it used to, leaving a soaked road and a cold breezy night. Just like me all soaked and alone.

Had you have a lightningstorm in your life?

The things that I wanted to do, now that I am back is to re align and fix my blogs and main site once and for all, It’s already the third quarter and the time those blog does not have any updates are over and must have move on. My Identity must be re born

I do not have any update on watzkulit and onandofflife simply because, i am all out of life, I felt that I do not have anything, and yes I am a weakling, but as much as i know myself, at least I am trying. And maybe it isn’t good enough. Still I wont give up.

Watzkulit will focus more on reflection At the end of the day as what it used to and On and off life will be more on my daily life as a multi personality me for venting out everyday nuisance and happy bits.

In my isolation and depressed state, I meditate* (and hope i could float…kidding) and always asked myself What are my accomplishment in the past 27 years that I stayed on this one big island. Well I made a lot but nothing is significant yet. Simply because all the thing that I already made and did would be a part of a bigger, better and maybe the significant accomplishment of my life.

I signify this day to be my fresh start, still wounded and on a low but all will be healed and I still have to go.Life is complicated anyway.

:: Definition ::
*Meditate *
- To be in a state where your face is unfriendly and your mind is somewhere, pretending to do something but nothing is accomplished.
- Not in the mood to work or simply feeling like “Juan” infected with tamaritis.
- In a depressed state where funny things are not entertained nor tolerated.

HAY BUHAY AMERICA / CANADA TALAGA

A friend named “Maeng Ni” posted this.
Lahat ng sinabi niya nakakatuwa at totoo…

Akala ng mga tao na nasa Pilipinas kapag nasa America ka akala nila madami ka ng pera. Ang totoo, madami
kang utang, dahil credit card lahat ang gamit mo sa pagbili mo ng mga gamit mo. Kailangan mo gumamit ng credit card para magka-credit history ka,
kase pag hindi ka umutang o wala kang utang, hindi ka pagkakatiwalaan ng mga kano . Pag wala kang credit card, ibig sabihin wala kang kapasidad magbayad.

Akala nila mayaman ka na kase may kotse ka na. Ang totoo, kapag hindi ka bumili ng kotse sa America
maglalakad ka ng milya-milya sa ilalim ng init ng araw o kaya sa snow. Walang jeepney, tricycle o padyak sa America …

Akala nila masarap ang buhay dito sa America .. Ang totoo, puro ka trabaho kase pag di ka nagtrabaho, wala kang pangbayad ng bills mo sa kotse, credit
card, ilaw, tubig, insurance, bahay at iba pa. Hindi ka na pwedeng tumambay sa kapitbahay kase busy din sila
maghanap buhay pangbayad ng bills nila.

Akala nila masaya ka kase nagpadala ka ng picture mo sa Disneyland , Seaworld, Six Flags, Universal Studios at iba
pang attractions. Ang totoo, kailangan mo ngumiti kase nagbayad ka ng $70+ para makarating ka dun, kailangan mo na naman ang 10 hours na sweldo mong
pinangbayad sa ticket.

Akala nila malaki na ang kinikita mo kase dolyar na sweldo mo. Ang totoo, malaki pagpinalit mo ng peso, pero
dolyar din ang gastos mo sa America . Ibig sabihin ang dolyar mong kinita sa presyong dolyar mo din gagastusin.
Ang P15.00 na sardinas sa Pilipinas $1.00 sa America , ang isang pakete ng sigarilyo sa pilipinas P40.00, sa
America $ 6.50, ang upa mo sa bahay na P10,000 sa Pilipinas, sa America $1,000++.

Akala nila buhay milyonaryo ka na kase ang ganda ng bahay at kotse mo. Ang totoo milyon ang utang mo. Ang bago mong kotse 5 taon mong huhulugan. Ang
bahay 30 taon mong huhulugan. Ibig sabihin, alipin ka ng bahay at kotse mo.

Madaming naghahangad na makarating sa America .. Lalo na mga nurses, mahirap maging normal na manggagawa sa Pilipinas. Madalas pagod ka sa trabaho. Pag dating ng sweldo mo, kulang pa sa pagkain mo. Pero ganun
din sa ibang bansa katulad ng America ..
Hindi ibig sabihin dolyar na ang
sweldo mo, yayaman ka na, kailangan mo ding magbanat ng buto para mabuhay ka sa ibang bansa.

Isang malaking sakripisyo ang pag alis mo sa bansang
pinagsilangan at malungkot iwanan ang
mga mahal mo sa buhay.Hindi pinupulot
ang pera dito o pinipitas. Hindi ako
naninira ng pangarap, gusto ko lang
buksan ang bintana ng katotohanan

Tulad din ng buhay sa Dubai o Canada, O Australia at Europe di ba?

Ang bottom line para sa akin ay THERE BE NO PLACE LIKE HOME , PHILIPPINES MY PHILIPPINES , BABALIK KA RIN PAGTANDA MO AT DUON MO UUBUSIN ANG NATITIRA SA BUHAY MO SA ATING BANSANG SINILANGAN.

Because starting tomorrow my regular jeepney fare would be 8 pesos and the bus fare would be at 1.50 more than usual.

With the recent events that happened in china, it thus makes me a bit nervous and frantic so I always visit the USGS IRIS Site to monitor the Seismic Readings.

I missed you and I still love you

Words & Music John Bettis / Palma Pascale

We fell in love
On the first night that we met
Together
We’ve been happy
I have very few regrets
The ordinary problems
Have not been hard to face
But lately little changes
Have been slowly taking place
You’re always finding something
Is wrong in what I do
But you can’t rearrange my life
Because it pleases you

(*) you’ve got to love me
For what I am
For simply being me
Don’t love me
For what you intend
Or hope that I will be
And if you’re only using me
To feed your fantasy
You’re really not in love
So let me go
I must be free

If what you want
Isn’t natural for me
I won’t pretend to keep you
What I am I have to be
The picture of perfection
Is only on your mind
For all your expectations
Love can never be designed
We either take each other
For ev’rything we are
Or leave the life
We’ve made behind
And make another start

Repeat (*)

And if yo’re only using me
To feed your fantasy
You’re really not in love
So let me go
I must be free

You’re really not in love
So let me go
I must be free

Kapag sinabi ko sa iyo na ika’y minamahal
Sana’y maunawaan mo na ako’y isang mortal
At di ko kayang abutin ang mga bituin at buwan
O di kaya ay sisirin perlas ng karagatan

Kapag sinabi ko sa iyo na ika’y iniibig
Sana’y maunawaan mo na ako’y taga-daigdig
Kagaya ng karamihan, karaniwang karanasan
Daladala kahit saan, pang-araw-araw na pasan

Ako’y hindi romantiko, sa iyo’y di ko matitiyak
Na pag ako’y kapiling mo kailanma’y di ka iiyak
Ang magandang hinaharap sikapin nating maabot
Ngunit kung di pa maganap, sana’y huwag mong ikalungkot

Kapag sinabi ko sa iyo na ika’y sinisinta
Sana’y yakapin mo akong bukas ang iyong mga mata
Ang kayamanan kong dala ay pandama’t kamalayan
Na natutunan sa iba na nabighani sa bayan

Halina’t ating pandayin isang malayang daigdig
Upang doon payabungin isang malayang pag-ibig
Kapag sinabi ko sa iyo na ika’y sinusuyo
Sana’y ibigin mo ako, kasama ang aking mundo
