breaking all the rules
haay na miss ko ang mag blog ah... can't seem to find the time to write one... plus the company had a brilliant idea para hindi na maka access sa mga illegal internet sites ang mga employees nila... dati you can outwit them by merely deleting the temporary internet files and cookies nung nga bawal na sites, ngayon... pag nag delete ka... mabubura din yung mga cookies na kailangan mo para mag work yung mga system na ginagamit mo!!! isn't that a work of a genius?
nweys, this blog is entitled breaking all the rules, naalala ko kasi na ever since i was a child, i have always been a non- conformist, i refuse to be bounded by rules... maka kontra lang ba...
nung nag aaral ako sa elementary, i would often wear rubber shoes while wearing my uniform, and i would always get away with it kasi ang alibi ko eh mahirap lang kami at wala kaming pambili ng leather shoes...
nung high school ako, my teacher specifically said na walang lalabas ng classroom, i don't know kung hindi ko lang to narinig or that i was really to stubborn to follow instructions... i really have to go to the comfort room... kasi ihing-ihi na talaga ako... nagpasama ako kay maryan (na apparently eh hindi rin nakikinig ;-) ) pag balik sa classroom, ayaw na kamimg papasukin... tapos nagbigay yung teacher ng quiz na 100 items... at kaming dalawa ni maryan ay nakatayo sa corridor habang ang mga classmates namin ay nag eexam... hmph...
nung college ako, ang uniform namin eh blouse and slacks... i would often wear a black t-shirt sa loob ng blouse ko, baduy na kung baduy... walang pangiilaman...
nung college nag start ang fascination ko sa mga bagay na itim... halos lahat ng shirt ko itim... siguro it was because i don't want other people to notice i'm there, wearing black makes you become inconspicuous. i don't have many friends... it's not because i'm not friendly, it's because i don't like having many friends... i would rather have one or two friends na totoo than have a bunch... na plastic naman...
after college, nung nagtratrabaho na ko... ang number one issue sa akin eh uniform... i hate wearing uniforms! i would often get sermon from my boss for wearing t-shirt and jeans and ruber shoes sa work. yung inissue sa akin na company uniform two years ago, hanggang ngayon brand new pa!
three weeks ago, i don't know what got into my mind (must have been from all the beer i drank from that darn mardigra) i had a henna tattoo sa aking right hand ( i asked the artist, how long it will take before it fades off, sabi niya two to three weeks) cool! pagpasok ko sa office, may tat ako sa hand, naka all black ako na t-shirt, jeans and rubber shoes, nag lagay ako ng black nail polish sa nails ko... and then darn! may dumating na auditor!!!
after the audit, the auditor politely explained the audit findings at tinanong ako kung bakit ako nka shirt and jeans... (siguro natakot siya sa tat ko kaya polite siya na na nagtanong hehe) (at, hindi niya sinama sa findings ang tat ko huh! in fairness!) he asked me kung nasan yung uniform ko... ang sagot ko: " alin po? yung lumang uniform? sinilaban ko na po... yung bago ko pong uniform, hinihintay ko lang pong dumating... para masilaban ko na rin! hehe..." (sagot ba yun ng matinong tao?) tapos tinanong niya kung bakit hindi na lang ako nag polo tsaka slacks... ang sagot ko... "kasi po sunday ngayon" sabi niya, e ano naman kung sunday ngayon? ang sagot ko: " eh hindi ko naman po akalaing may mag o audit ng linggo eh...
ngayon, hinihintay ko na lang ang memo ko galing sa HR... hehe

A Travel Agent's Story
hehe napulot ko lang kay kamote... eh nakakatawa kaya pi-nost ko na rin...
A TRAVEL AGENT'S STORY
A friend has been a Travel Agent for 30 Years. She says, of her 30 years of taking reservation requests from government officials, we are all in trouble.Here are some of her experiences with these people who run the country.
Senator Tessie Oreta asked for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window.
I got a call from ex-Mayor Joey Marquez, who wanted to go to Capetown. Explaining the length of the flight and passport information, he interrupted me with, "I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts ." Without trying to make him look like the stupid one, I calmly explained, " Cape Cod is in Massachusetts . Capetown is in Africa ." His response: (click).
Congressman Mark Lapid called, furious about a Florida package we did for him and TV star Kris Aquino. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando . He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explainthat was not possible since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, "Don't lie to me. I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!" (so he expected to see the ocean on both sides of the hotel?!)
Sen Ralph Recto's popular wife asked, "Is it possible to see England from Canada ?" I said, "No." She said, "But they look so close on the map.
"Senator Lito Lapid asked if he could rent a car in Dallas . I noticed he had only an hour layover in Dallas . When asked why he wanted to rent a car, he said, "I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between the gates to save time.
"Senator Jinggoy Estrada called last week. He needed to know how it was possible that his flight from Detroit left at 8:20 a.m. and got into Chicago at 8:33 a.m. I tried to explain that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois , but he could not understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told him the plane went very fast, and he bought that.
Congressman Ronaldo Zamora asked, "Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?" I said, "No, why do you ask?" He replied, "Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said FAT, and I'm overweight. I think that is very rude!" I looked into it and explained the city code for Fresno , California is (FAT) and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage.
Former president-able now TV star Eddie Gil inquired about a trip package to Hawaii . After going over all the cost info, he asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to California and take the train to Hawaii ?
"I just got off the phone with Senator Bong Revilla who asked, "How do I know which plane to get on?" I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, "I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.
"VP Noli De Castro asked, "I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , FL. Do I have to get on one of those twin engine planes?" I asked if he meant fly to Pensacola , FL on a commuter plane. He said, "Yeah, whatever!
"Congressman Dilangalen called and had a question about the documents needed to fly to China . I reminded him he needed a visa. "Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those." I double checked and sure enough, his stay required a visa. When I told him this, he said, "Look, I've been to China four times and every time they accepted my American Express!
"Senator Miriam Defensor called to make reservations, "I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York ." The agent said, "Are you sure that's the name of the town?" "Yes, what flights do you have?" replied the lady. After some searching, the agent came back with, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a Rhino anywhere." The lady retorted, "Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!" The agent scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, "You don't mean Buffalo , do you?" "That's it! I knew it was a big animal," she said.

pag sumakay ka ng victory liner na bus papuntang olongapo... meron silang 15 minutes na stop over sa isang restaurant sa lubao pampanga na ang pangalan ay double happiness... pwede kang gumamit ng comfort room o kaya bumili ng meryenda...
just recently, sabay kami umuwi ni chockz sa bulacan and it was raining so hard... so pagdating ng double happiness, gusto kong kumain ng mainit na arrozcaldo, pero hindi ko naman kayang ubusin yung isang buong bowl ng caldo... so sabi ko kay chocky, hati na lang kami. bumili si chocky at kumain kami sa bus... ako yung naghawak ng mga bags namin tapos siya yung may hawak ng caldo, masyadong mainit yung caldo kaya hinalo-halo muna ni chocky at hinipan-hipan para hindi kami mapaso.
alternate, susubo si chocky tapos ako naman ang susubuan niya since ako nga ang may hawak ng mga bags. nakahalata na ko... dalawang subo sa kanya taz isang subo lang sakin, kalahati pa yung laman nung kutsara (dahil pag hinipan mo kalahati na lang matitira sa kutsara... ) mejo bitin yung kalahating kutsara kaya sabi ko kay chocky "beb follow up!!!" bigla kaming natawa dun sa sinabi kong yun... kaya bigla kaming humagalpak ng tawa sa bus... bigla akong nagtampo na tinawanan ako ni chocky kaya sabi ko ayaw ko ng kumain... busog na ko...
ang sabi niya sakin "beb ang pangit... biruin mo malalagay tayo sa news : MAGSYOTA NAG-AWAY DAHIL SA LUGAW!!!"
six years beb? masisira dahil lang sa lugaw? ang panget... pano mo ie explain yun sa magtatanong kung bakit tayo nag break? hehe
joke ko lang naman yung tampo tampo, nakakatuwa lang na tawa kami ng tawa sa bus, kami lang naman nagkakaintindihan kung bakit kami tumatawa....

Joe D' Mango Story
somebody emailed me this article and i personally believe na both parties should really work hard together to keep the flame burning... the secret is communication. tsaka dapat mas matimbang ang friendship... coz when you're both old and wrinkled.. mawawala na ang passion but the friendship will still remain...
!===
Of course you've heard of Joe D' Mango. He gives advice on love and relationships on Wave 89.1. Have u ever wondered what he does when he has his own love problems? Does he give advice to himself? Does he handle it very well?
Here's his story:
Three Fridays ago, our guru on relationships, joe d mango, read a letter to his wife on his popular radio program Love Notes. For the past 11 years, he had been giving advice to people who would write him letters about their personal problems. To the surprise of his listeners that Friday, instead of reading one of his usual letters, he read one that he had written himself to his wife Bing. Joe felt that he had to tell his listeners that even someone like him could go through a marital crisis, but that he survived it. Here's how his letter goes.
In our 11 years of marriage it was just the two of us. I never had a close circle of friends and she never had one either. Life for us was just "you and me," day in and day out. We were literally sleeping beside each other for 11 years. It came to point that there was nothing more interesting to talk about. I was aware I was doing that but I never did anything about it. We were so close yet it seemed like we were so distant. Then came her new circle of friends.
They recently had an elementary and high school reunion. Remember her persistent suitor since elementary days? He was there. We already had four daughters and the guy had four kids of his own. They exchanged phone numbers. They started to text each other and this bothered me. a big part of it was insecurity and other part was that she once denied that she was texting the guy. I felt bad because she started hiding things from me. Then the guy asked her if they could meet for lunch. It became a source of tension between us. I finally agreed, but before that, I told her that I felt that I was going through the same pain again. I have seen so many stories like this. If you told me the first part of the story I would already know where it would lead to.
Bing accused me of being a "know-it-all" person. But deep in my heart I knew where she was heading. Why would a married guy see a married girl unless it was for business or professional reasons? Finally, even if it was against my will, I drove her to the meeting place.
While I was waiting at the radio station, I wanted to call her but knew it wasn't proper. So I just waited for her to tell me how their meeting went. When she related to me what happened I felt that she was keeping the other details. I was afraid to ask because I wasn't prepared to accept her answers. I told her that it would be best if that was their last meeting. She got mad and told me that I was starting to control her life.
The following day, I saw a small, torn piece of paper that had the words, "lose you" in the trash can at home. I started picking up the pieces of paper and putting them together. She had written:
"Felt sad because I felt that this will be our last meeting."
"Wanted to hug you..." Before I could figure out what the third one was, Bing was already at my back. She wanted to get the torn pieces of paper back. She said it was private property. We decided to talk. By then, I was able to figure out the third line: "Not sure if afraid to lose you." She had crossed it out and beside it, she had written, "Wanted to cry."
That was what hit me. How could you lose something that's not even with you yet? That was a confirmation that she was getting emotionally attached to the guy. We fought because she didn't want to admit it. She said that what she had written was all about friendship and not about love. For the first time in our marriage she asked for freedom from me. For 11 years we were always together, and now this. She had discovered her own little world and wanted to explore it. I didn't want to give it to her but finally I gave in. I told her that she could do anything she wanted and not worry about how I would feel. In fact, I told her that I was planning to leave her and kids for a while so we could give each other the chance to be alone. We decided to give the new arrangement a try.
The following day, Thursday, I went to work early and she texted me. I never answered back. When I didn't respond, she called me. She said, "I'm sorry. I love you and I miss you." For the first time in our marriage I said, "I love you and I miss you too" with tears in my eyes. I realized how much I loved her but I also knew how much she wanted her freedom. When I arrived at the station I asked for a leave. My boss advised me to think it over, but he said that he would allow me to on leave. After letting it all out I felt relieved. It was the first time in my life that I asked for advice about our relationship.
While I was talking with my boss, a messenger arrived with 12 white roses arranged in a basket. It came from Bing. Then a text message on my cellphone came, "I know that no material things can ease the pain that you're feeling right now, but these flowers signify my pure and sincere intentions.
I'm really sorry. Please forgive me."
Still, a question continued to bug me: "I'm giving you the freedom.
Will you choose to stay or go on?" I read the card, and it had the answer to my question: "Dear Dad, I finally realized that I made a very big mistake in choosing a newfound friendship at the expense of our long-time friendship. Please forgive me. I will always love you."
Bing called the guy and told him that she wanted to end the friendship. He said that they could just text or call each other. Bing said that there was no need.
We had dinner and talked up to 1 am. It was like getting married all over again. We lost each other and found our way back. I do not want to go through the same pain again. Friday came and it was the first time in the history of Love Notes that I couldn't do Love Notes. I scheduled a replay. When I was at the station at 9am, I composed a letter to Bing. I was asking myself, should I read this or do a replay? I chose to read the letter. It is not unusual to hear people say "I love you because...," but this story has shown us that the deeper and greater love is having to say "I LOVE YOU IN SPITE OF..."
What hurts most?
..when you can't fight for that one thing that would make you happy....I may never be the guy you look forward to seeing every day...but I will always be the guy who will look out for you each and every day..Sad Girl: "don't make me feel that I'm just a selfish jerk just because I made you cry"!
Sad Guy: "then don't make me feel like I did nothing for you when I almost died crying just to see you smile..."
Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And some ask ourselves:
Will our actions echo across the centuries?
Will strangers hear our names long after we are gone, and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved?
Love isn't when you can't sleep... it's when you want to keep your eyes open...
Love isn't when you keep holding on... it's when you learn to let go...
Love isn't when you kill yourself with jealousy... it's when you understand.. .
Love isn't when you fall for someone... it's when you catch that person when she falls...
Love isn't when you see her everywhere.. . it's when you close your eyes and she is still there...
Love isn't when you tell her what you feel... it's when you give everything for her sake...
And Love isn't when you think you were blind... it's when you know she was wrong but you didn't mind!

The following day, I saw a small, torn piece of paper that had the words, "lose you" in the trash can at home. I started picking up the pieces of paper and putting them together. She had written:
"Felt sad because I felt that this will be our last meeting."
"Wanted to hug you..." Before I could figure out what the third one was, Bing was already at my back. She wanted to get the torn pieces of paper back. She said it was private property. We decided to talk. By then, I was able to figure out the third line: "Not sure if afraid to lose you." She had crossed it out and beside it, she had written, "Wanted to cry."
That was what hit me. How could you lose something that's not even with you yet? That was a confirmation that she was getting emotionally attached to the guy. We fought because she didn't want to admit it. She said that what she had written was all about friendship and not about love. For the first time in our marriage she asked for freedom from me. For 11 years we were always together, and now this. She had discovered her own little world and wanted to explore it. I didn't want to give it to her but finally I gave in. I told her that she could do anything she wanted and not worry about how I would feel. In fact, I told her that I was planning to leave her and kids for a while so we could give each other the chance to be alone. We decided to give the new arrangement a try.
The following day, Thursday, I went to work early and she texted me. I never answered back. When I didn't respond, she called me. She said, "I'm sorry. I love you and I miss you." For the first time in our marriage I said, "I love you and I miss you too" with tears in my eyes. I realized how much I loved her but I also knew how much she wanted her freedom. When I arrived at the station I asked for a leave. My boss advised me to think it over, but he said that he would allow me to on leave. After letting it all out I felt relieved. It was the first time in my life that I asked for advice about our relationship.
While I was talking with my boss, a messenger arrived with 12 white roses arranged in a basket. It came from Bing. Then a text message on my cellphone came, "I know that no material things can ease the pain that you're feeling right now, but these flowers signify my pure and sincere intentions.
I'm really sorry. Please forgive me."
Still, a question continued to bug me: "I'm giving you the freedom.
Will you choose to stay or go on?" I read the card, and it had the answer to my question: "Dear Dad, I finally realized that I made a very big mistake in choosing a newfound friendship at the expense of our long-time friendship. Please forgive me. I will always love you."
Bing called the guy and told him that she wanted to end the friendship. He said that they could just text or call each other. Bing said that there was no need.
We had dinner and talked up to 1 am. It was like getting married all over again. We lost each other and found our way back. I do not want to go through the same pain again. Friday came and it was the first time in the history of Love Notes that I couldn't do Love Notes. I scheduled a replay. When I was at the station at 9am, I composed a letter to Bing. I was asking myself, should I read this or do a replay? I chose to read the letter. It is not unusual to hear people say "I love you because...," but this story has shown us that the deeper and greater love is having to say "I LOVE YOU IN SPITE OF..."
What hurts most?
..when you can't fight for that one thing that would make you happy....I may never be the guy you look forward to seeing every day...but I will always be the guy who will look out for you each and every day..Sad Girl: "don't make me feel that I'm just a selfish jerk just because I made you cry"!
Sad Guy: "then don't make me feel like I did nothing for you when I almost died crying just to see you smile..."
Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And some ask ourselves:
Will our actions echo across the centuries?
Will strangers hear our names long after we are gone, and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved?
Love isn't when you can't sleep... it's when you want to keep your eyes open...
Love isn't when you keep holding on... it's when you learn to let go...
Love isn't when you kill yourself with jealousy... it's when you understand.. .
Love isn't when you fall for someone... it's when you catch that person when she falls...
Love isn't when you see her everywhere.. . it's when you close your eyes and she is still there...
Love isn't when you tell her what you feel... it's when you give everything for her sake...
And Love isn't when you think you were blind... it's when you know she was wrong but you didn't mind!

~FOB~
dahil sa malayo ang work ko, hindi ko kasama ang family ko araw-araw, i only get to see them during my restdays. naging habit ko na rin to check them every now and then, nag ro-roll call to see if everybody's home na, constantly reminding my mom to take her meds and vitamins, checking kung nasa bahay si mik na gabi na palagi umuuwi from school (from school daw... baka nanood na naman ng sine...), tinatanong kung kumain na sila...
last night was not an exception, i txted mom around 9pm to check kung nasa bahay na si mik, sabi niya wala pa daw, mga 10:30 nagtxt skin si mamu, sbi niya, tinawagan nya daw si mik, pauwi na daw, may school activity lang daw kaya mejo na late... nung nag txt ulit si mamu, sinabi niya na nasa bahay na daw si mik...
bandang 12 midnight tnext ko si mik...
petski: huuuuu... may skul activity... nood ka lang ng FOB weh...
at ang mataray na reply ni mik ay...
mik: and come home at 10:30?? that must have been a very lame concert or it could have been also that i decided to waste money for ticket... whatever...
petski: ano daw? Nosebleed...
kamag anak kaya ni mik si inday?

chocky boy... yeah boy
haaay naku... the other day, chocky and i were watching Rivermaya : Bagong Liwanag (The Audition Specials) on studio 23 kze nag audition din dun yung younger brother ni chockz (ayun... TALO!!!) nakakaaliw kasi may mga celebs na nanggugulo lang sa audition na yun, gaya ni vinci montaner ng parokya ni edgar, kumanta siya ng buloy tsaka ng bago niyang composition entitled "ayaw ko ng rivermaya"... the ever famous ramon bautista doing his stunts again... at marami pang iba...
there were three judges na nag ii- screen ng aplicants and out of 580 plus na nag try only 80 were given the "golden ticket" para mag proceed sa second round... and out of the 80, only 13 people made it to the finals, nung 80 na sila, para ng pang beauty contest yung mga tanong sa kanila nung judges, for example, if ever na makuha ka bilang bagong member ng rivermaya, would you be willing to change your style, and the way you look to fit the band's image? etc.etc.
eh may isang contestant na member pa ng dalawa pang active band, nabasa yun nung mga judges dun sa profile niya, in-explain niya na actually isang band lang yun, pinalitan lang nila yung name nung una nilang band kasi nde nag click, nung sinabi niya yung band name niya biglang blineep... and then inexplain niya na yung first name ng band niya pag binaliktad yun din yung name ng bago niyang band... and since na bleep nga yung band name niya, na curious kami kung ano yung pangalan ng band niya na baliktaran ang name... napansin ko na biglang tumahimik si chockz, mukhang malalim ang iniisip... and then eureka!!! sabi niya "beb, alam ko na yung pangalan nung band niya... NASABAYABASAN!!!"
ngek!!!
talagang pinag isipan ito!!!
pagtapos nung rivermaya specials, premier naman nung bagong show sa studio 23 na ginaya naman sa jackass tsaka wildboys... anong trip mo?. ang bida dun eh si hyubs tsaka si justine (ng viva hot men)... may isang scene duon, na ang dare sa kanila ay tumakbo sa bukid na hubo't hubad... nung tumatakbo sila, tinatakpan nila hyubs yung harapan nila habang naka exposed yung kanilang wetpaks (behind)... sabi ko "tsk tsk tsk wala talaga silang magawa noh? beb kung ikaw tatakbo ng ganyan, anong tatakpan mo?..." without batting an eyelid, ang sagot sakin ni chocky "... yung mukha ko!"
nakngtokwa, naisip mo pa yun? taba talaga ng utak ni chocky...

how open are you?
You Are 36% Open |
 You are open at times, but generally you don't let many people into your inner world. It's possible that you have a friend or two that knows you well. But to most people, you are a total mystery. |

One Sweet Day
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive Alive
And I know you're shining down on me
from Heaven
Like so many friends
we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Darling, I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared
And I know you're shining down on me
from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray
And I know you're shining down on me
from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
And I know you're shining down on me
from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
ei pops hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin namin alam kung paano mag mu-move on... you left us with so many questions... and now we don't know how to find the answers... just like the song says we'll be together one sweet day... untill we meet again pops... we love you very much.. .

~taz~
kung natatandaan niyo, dun sa past blogs ko (post valentine chuva), nabanggit ko na ang gift sakin ni chocky nung valentines eh isang taz na stuff toy (actually sa sobrang laki niya mukha na siyang mascot!)
nung umuwi ako sa bulacan 2 weeks ago, sinama namin si taz (akala ko nga sisingilin din si taz ng pamasahe sa bus eh!). natuwa naman sila lahat kay taz lalo na si dianne (na nagpapabili ng lola bunny na ganun din kalaki sa birthday niya! gudlak!).
nung pabalik na ko sa gapo, iniwanan ko muna si taz sa kanila para naman ma enjoy nila... tapos lagi kong kinakamusta si mama sa txt sa lagay ni taz ( baka ginugutom nila eh kawawa naman...). Tapos nabalitaan ko na lang na yung bunso kong kapatid eh nakipag inuman nung birthday ng pinsan ko at sa sobrang wasted niya eh, of all places naman na susukahan, ang sinukahan niya eh yung kamay ni taz! (ayaw pa nga pasabi sa akin kasi magagalit daw ako, nilabhan na daw nila si taz at sinampay, imaginin niyo na lang na may halimaw na nakasampay sa sampayan!)
last sunday night, umuwi ulit ako sa bulacan, kwento kwento, chika chika... every time na uuwi ako samin, babalik ako sa gapo ng 4 am ng tuesday, gaya na lang last tuesday, tulog pa silang lahat nung umalis ako, I just kissed my mom goodbye, kinuha ko si taz and then lumuwas na ko pa- gapo. dumating ako sa gapo ng 7 am, natulog ulit ako tapos nagising ako mga 11:30am, pagtingin ko sa fone ko may ganitong message galing sa kapatid kong mongoloid...
dianne: umiiyak ako ngayon, may kumidnap kay taz! nagreport nako sa pulis pero ang bagal ng responde nila... ilang oras na daw nawawala sabi ni mama... pagcing ko kc wla na xa... :'(
dianne: umiiyak ako ngayon, may kumidnap kay taz! nagreport nako sa pulis pero ang bagal ng responde nila... ilang oras na daw nawawala sabi ni mama... pagcing ko kc wla na xa... :'(
na siyempre ni replyan ko ng...
petski: hawak namin si taz, kung gusto mo pa siyang makita ng buhay, maghanda ka ng 1 milyon. antayin mo ang tawag ko... wag sasabihin sa mga pulis!!!
D: wag nyo po sasaktan c taz... gagawa po ako ng paraan para makalikom ng 1M, pero wala po ba tawad? d ba pwede 100 na lang? rent ba ga...
P: geh nde ko xa sasaktan, hinde ko xa susukahan at isasampay na parang palaka... pero pwede ba 150 naman? ipa western mo na lang... Hehehe
D: pano ko malalaman na isasauli niyo si taz and hindi niyo xa cnaktan kung iwe- western ko lang ung ransom?hehe
P: bibigyan ka namin ng pruweba na buhay pa c taz, ipapadala namin sau isang kamay niya o kaya isang tenga...
D: nyeh! gawin ko ng 200! wag na din kau magbigay ng pruweba! Hehehe
Haaay hirap maging miyembro ng pamilya ko... Pede pa kayang magpa-ampon kay angelina jolie?
