2010: the final walk (part 1)

modelong modelo lang di ba? hahaha.. today is the 31st of December for the year 2010. and this will be the last day of this year that made my life a little bit exciting that i felt a sudden up and down in my life. I will just make a summary of what happened and let’s see if this year is a good or bad year after all. but one thing is for sure, whenever i fall, no matter what, I will not stay on the ground. I will continue to walk with my head held high, and to make sure that I have learned a lesson or two from the experience.

i am not expecting this to be long, depende na lang kung maglalagay ako ng pics. hehehe. and if i do that i need to use my personal laptop and get my HD’s kasi nandun ung mga pictures ko. (meaning matrabaho na naman). hahaha..

lets start:
1. for this year of 2010 that I have been working abroad, i went home 6 times. so parang every 2 months nasa airport ako ng Malaysia at Manila, bumabalik sa lupang aking sinilangan.
     february - twice ako umuwi ng Manila during February. the first one was nung nagbakasyon ako. meeting friends, and releasing all my stress. second time was nung namatay lola ko. so imagine, first week ko nasa Manila ako for ilang araw, then i went back here. 4 days pa lang after i returned, i received a message na namatay nga daw lola ko. so i need to went back to Manila right away, oh di ba, pulubi mode. tapos pagbalik ko dito ng mga third week na, ilang araw na lang ulit  babalik na ko ng Manila kasi nakaleave na naman ako ng first week ng March.

march – vacation leave na planado talaga. boring na kasi naman twice na kong umuwi ng Manila nung Feb at pulubi mode na talaga.

may – my high school close friend died. yes, we cannot accept the fact na namatay na cya. pero what else can we do. inuuna talaga ni lord ung mga sobrang baet na tao. hays

july – gala with the barkada. ito ung yearly gala na dapat kumpleto. so that time, we headed down south of Manila – Davao! dito ko naranasan ung water rafting na nalaglag ako sa tubig (well, nagpalaglag na lang ako kasi tumagilid ung boat namin) and i never expected na ganun pala ang tubig sa ilalim! ang lakas ng current! oo, natakot ako.. ahahah

november – tamang tama para sa pyestang patay. so i went home ulit with 10 days leave. i spent 2 days with my relatives sa batangas. pero sa tatay ko, hindi ako umuwi. bwahahha. dito ko namiss ng sobra ang manila. mga bonding time sa apartment with my housemates na friendly friends kong tunay. i stayed also for 3 days at Hyatt Manila. nagfeeling mayaman lang.. hehehehe.. then i also met some of my blogger friends at merong mga inarte.. hahaha

magastos umuwi ng Manila, i tell you. ung ilang buwan na hindi ko pag uwi, well i can say that i save naman even a little. i also have other expenses and other responsibilities that i need to pay for and also for my future. pero one thing that i notice, during my november vacation, said talaga laman ng atm ko. as in umuuwi ako ng malaysia ng gumagapang at naghihikahos.. hahaha..

i’ll edit later ulit. uwi na kasi kami. oh di ba, busy ako sa trabaho.. hahaha

ang kwento ng text

since i am working abroad, i still have my roaming number sa Pinas so that my friends would still be able to reach me. take note – friends. usually, ayoko ng nakakareceived ng text from family members.

usual scenario sa room – three phones on my bed beside my head pillow. SE w960, Nokia E72, and Acer Android Phone. ung Nokia ang naka roam, SE ung gamit ko para sa support sim, then ung Acer display lang.. hahaha..

so, that time when i went home, i checked my Nokia phone if i have any new messages. so i had three that time. iyong isa number lang, and the conversation went like this:

texter: musta ka na
me: who’s this
texter: tatay mo
me: ah ok
tatay: musta ka na? san ka nagpasko?
me: ayos lang ako. dito lang.

one message received. who you?

source

ganyan ang conversation namin. see, di ko alam number ng tatay ko. wala lang, para lang ewan. natatawa nga ako nung kinukwento ko yan eh. sabi ko kasi, nagtext bigla. siguro kasi hindi ako nagpadala ng pera this year. imagine, hindi naman nagtetext talaga un and hindi naman talaga kami close. haha.. so un lang, konting kwento lang..

new years eve preparation

date check: dec 28, 2010.
that makes 3 more days before the official countdown for the end of the year. and my friend asked me a while ago kung wala daw ba kaming pasok ng 31st. oh well, pag nasa support team ka you should be working 365 days. kasi production environment ang trabaho mo, and these applications don’t know what a holiday is. and another thing, meron pa ring mga eroplanong lumilipad at barkong naglalayag kahit pasko o bagong taon. so i told her na US holiday ang 31st and alam ng wala kami sa office. but the following night meron (oo – saktong January 1st, bawing bawi di ba?).

so sabi nya, meaning party na ulit? oo. lolz. magugulo na naman ang bahay namin. hahaha.. dahil last 24th, dun kami nag dinner sa house and nagluto. so ngaun, it will be the same again, pero this time medyo marami rami na ung tao dahil my mga bisita na kami na madadagdag. so nag isip na kami ng lulutuin. and sabi namin those food that we already served during christmas will not be served this coming new years eve.

so ano ang mga naisip na naming gawin? steam crabs (para sa kanin ito, hehehe), leche flan (dessert kasama ng ibat ibang uri ng ubas at iba pang prutas), bacon carbonara. so yang tatlo na yan pa lang ung naiisip namin na lutuin. at meron na ring magdadala ng fruit salad. para sa iba, di ko pa sure kung ano ung dadalhin nila.

then ung mga regalo sa christmas tree nandun pa rin. sabi ko kasi new year kami mag open ng regalo sa isa’t isa. pero ung regalo sa akin, na – open ko na and papapalitan ng size kasi size “L”. “M” lang po size ko.. hehehe..

so i hope that everything will be okay, and things will go smoothly this week para happy and ending ng year 2010 and bongga ang pagsalubong ng bagong taon!
