Viva Senior Sto. Niño!

Ang aming pamilya ay may panata na sa loob ng 52 years ngayong taon sa patron na Sto. Niño. Halos ka edad na ito ni dad.

Bilang panata ang patron sa Manikling, Davao Oriental na Sto. Niño ay pinapalitan ng damit. May suking tagatahi ng damit nito kada taon. Akala ng mga tao sa amin na binibili lang namin ito na ready made.

Taon- taon ay iba iba ang disenyo ng damit nito.Pangalawang taon narin namin ito ni wifey na sumama sa pagpalit ng damit.

Nagsimula pa ang panatang ito sa aking lola na pumanaw na noong 1984 bago paman ako pinanganak at namana nalang ng kanyang mga anak at mga apo.

Nakita ko sa cabinet ang mga damit nito mula pa noong unang panahon. Ang larawan ay kuha ko noong 2009.




















Eto naman ang kuha ko ngayong taong 2010


Marami narin ang magpapatunay na milagroso ang Senior, nagpapagaling ng mga karamdaman. Nagpaparamdam sa panaginip. May estorya din ang pamilya namin hinggil dito.

Enching2 Pole Dancing

Wala namang okasyon pero gusto naming uminum ng aking pinsan na si Nice at Brian, kasi nga kapit bahay nga lang itong si Enching madali lang tawagin isang text lang kung minsan. Subalit sa pagkakataong ito ay may kasama siyang isa pang bading na ang pangalan ay Petra. Sa haba ng aming inuman naging yoyo or roller coaster and amats namin hanggang sa inumaga nanga kami sa katotoma.

Tinapon ni Junex and tsinelas ni Petra sa itaas ng pader. Inakyat naman ito ng bakla at napahanga kami sa galing nitong umakyat.


Si Petra nang mahimasmasan sa kanyang kalasingan at nagsimulang uminum ulit.


Kayang-kaya nyang umakyat

Kasama din pala namin si Brian na siniseduce ni Enching eto ang patunay.

Inumaga kami sa inumang yun at nauwi sa showdown ni Petra and Enching

Pole Dancing!










Naging magaling man si Enching natalo parin siya ni Petra kasi nag sign Off siya.

Enching1 (state of mind)

Siya si Vincent Fred and kapit bahay naming gay. Kabatch ko siya sa hayskul kung di siya nag stop and lumipat ng ibang school. Maingay kung mainagay subalit walang dull moments kapag kasama mo si Enching sa inuman. Magaling siyang sumayaw at ang mga sumusunod na larawan ay ilang lamamng sa mga mapangahas niyang moves when he was out of his "state of mind"




Madaling araw pagkatapos umuwi ng mga bisita ni dad sa kanyang birthday, pinasok ko si Enching sa kanilang bahay para imbitahin na uminum, ganito siya nung datnan ko nahihiya kasi nga daw may nakalagay na siyang ritwal sa kanyang mukha. Gayun paman dahil sa marami sa mag pinsan namin ang nagrequest sa kanya ay napilitan itong sumali sa inuman, sayawan, kantahan.


"kayo ha natutulog na ako, ala una na" sabi niyang nung dumating siya sa loob ng aming compound


at nahiya kunwari ulit


"how do you like my ass" after 3 hours of drinking


And here is the main course, he enjoyed the night and he entertained everyone that night. One of a kind person a gay one who is so gay to be with.

Good to Ponder

Don't be afraid to examine your weaknesses. In them you'll find some of your greatest potential.
Certainly you can always make improvements to what you already do well. Yet at best, those will be incremental improvements.
Consider, though, what happens when you work on overcoming your weaknesses. The results in your life can be revolutionary.
In fact, transforming a weakness into a strength can make all your other strengths more effective. When the weakness is no longer holding you back, every part of your life will see the benefits.
Be thankful for your strengths. And be honest about your weaknesses.
For when you are clear about what you cannot yet do well, that's the first step to improvement. Any weakness can be transformed into strength when you simply have the courage to grow.

The results will come
Though each effort does not bring an immediate result, keep going. The results will come.
Every achievement requires many efforts. Those individual efforts combine with each other to bring the desired result.
So keep going. Keep adding one effort on top of the ones before it.
And all the while, learn. Learn what works and what does not, and adjust your efforts to become even more effective.
Keep going, keep learning, keep working and keep getting better. Every day, every effort brings you closer.
Persistence is the way you prove you really want it. Persist, and you will have it.

One Year in the Making

I cannot deny the fact that I reached one year in maintaining my blog site since you can see in my profile, I wrote articles, journals, descriptive plots about people I met, and events I encountered, horror stories and many others.
I am thankful, to consider my self not a ROOKIE anymore. I’ve read many blogs of other people; they do have some focused on what they wrote, some about politics, showbiz, campaigns, reactions, life’s journey, and people with illnesses, gay stories, survivor stories, sex stories, spiritual blogs, pictures and the likes.
My blog is nothing in particular, I love to write freely; without any format to follow, language free and sometime very candid stories.
The blog site I made is not that popular compared to other blog sites, but I am trying so hard to make it simple, colorful and not that boring thou some may find it one.
Now, that I have gone this far I will be very glad to write more of interesting people, events and close encounters. Its up for you what are those close encounters, it means a lot…..
For those who are opening my site every now and then and for those who followed it my heartfelt gratitude.

I wish you all ENOUGH!

Bahay

We are staying now in our ancestral house a 60 years old house built in 1950. Originally owned by my grandparents now owned commonly by my dad and siblings. Dad decided to occupy the house since no one is staying, he renovated the house and now this how it looks like and this is the house where we stayed. The ground floor is the mini store and hardware I now manage.

Before it was really old and it looked so haunted, but now many folks specially the old ones said that the house looks better and new.
This is the house interior in the second floor.

Rose

Rose
Nagsimula itong si Rose na magtrabaho sa amin noong December, iba din ang personality niya, masyadong dalagang Pilipina, sabi panga ni wifey maganda si Rose at matangkad, exotic beauty na maganda. Napakabagal kumilos at magsalita nitong si Rose hindi ko maxadong nagustuhan noong una subalit naging okey narin at naintindihan ko narin kasi maxado pa siyang bata 16 years old and hanggang elementary lang ang tinapos niya kasi namasukan siya sa city at hindi pa regular ang kanyang pagsahod. Hanggang sa umuwi siya at tinulungan siya ng kanyang Knight in Shiing Armor noong mga panahong yun, sinundo siya nito sa bahay ng kanyang amo at may pahintulot pa ito ng kanyang nanay. Naging kasintahan niya ang 39 years old na binata na kalaunan na nagkahiwalay din.
Mabait itong si Rose kaya lang noong minsan na napagalitan ko ito dahil boung araw akong naglaba sa aming farm kasi nga walang problema sa tubig doon, kinahapunan ay isa isa ko nang binababa ng sasakyan ang mga nalabhan na naming damit sa mga lagayan nito nang bigla akong matalisod at nakita ko siya natinawanan ako, pagod ako at nag init ang ulo ko nang tinawanan ako. Inakyat ko muna ang mga damit at binalikan ko siya sa tindahan at sinabihan ko na: “huwag niyong tawanan ang taong nahihirapan sa pagbubuhat at natalisod, ni hindi na nga kayo tumulong” sabay talikod at umakyat ako sa baba.

Lingid sa aking kaalaman na hindi pala ako ang tinwanan niya may piang-uusapan sila at nagkataon nung tumawa siya ay natalisod ako. Nag-iba ang kanyang pakiramdam at may sinabi siya sa kasama niyang si Glacy na “ewan ko lang talaga kung anu ang mangyayari kay kuya, hindi kuna sila mapipigilan sa gagawin nila sa kanya” kinilabutan ako bigla at naalala ko na na possess nap ala itong si Rose ng engkanto, “ may malaking tao daw na lagging nakasunod sa kanya “ dugtong ni Glacy. Natakot ako sa posibleng mangyari nga sa akin. Nanindig lahat nga buhok ko sa katawan. Hindi ko na siya kinausap hanggang sa kinagabihan ay parang naghihina itong si Rose. Niaya ko na silang maghapunan pagkatapos nilang magsara ng store at pinakitunguhan ko na lang sila ng mabuti subalit umakyat na sa kuwarto nila si Rose at hindi na lumabas para maghapunan. Sabi kopa kay mommy kinabukasan na ayaw ko sa kanya, gusto ko palitan na lang ng iba yung pwedeng katulong at tindera, ayaw ni mommy tsaka mahirap nadaw maghanap ng mapagkakatiwalaan bahala na dawn a mabagal at sensitive basta honest. Wala akong nagawa kundi ang kausapin sila ng masinsinan regarding sa mga rules sa bahay.

May isa pang nakakatawang pangyayari, minsan pista sa kanila Rose at nagpaalam itong umuwi sa kanila gabi ng desperas ng pista. Pinayagan ko naman kasi nga sabi niya bukas ay aabsent siya at babalik siya sa susunod na araw, na pista naman kina Glacy. Hindi niya tinupad ang pagbalik niya kaya naawa ako kay Glacy na hindi ko pinauwi kasi nga sino nalang ang maiiwan sa tindahan, hindi ko kasi piangkakatiwala sa boy namin na si Junex ang tindahan. Kaya hindi nakuwi si Glacy, at pinagalitan ito nga kanyang nanay. Kinabukasan ay wala parin itong si Rose kami ni wife yang nagbantay ng store kasama si Junex kasi pinauwi ko na muna si Glacy sa kanila ksi bday ng kanyang nanay after ng kanilang piyesta VIVA SENIOR STO. Nino. Absent si Rose ng 3 days saka palang siya pumasok at umabsent din si Glacy ng two day na halos magkasabay. Ilang arwa pa balik na sa normal ang lahat.
Isang hapon habang kami ay nag-uusap at nagkakantyawan Junex, Wifey, Ako, Glacy at Rose ay naalala ko ang sinabi sa kin ni Junex na may nakita silang nagsesex sa baybayin, malapit sa dagat ang bahay nina Rose at nung gabing yun ay nakipiyesta din si Junex sa kapitbahay ni Rose na kakilala niya. Yun nga may nakita silang pares na walang atubiling gumwa ng kamunduhan sa madilm na bahagi ng dalampasigan. Describe pa ni Junex mahaba ang buhok. Tawanan lang kami at sinabi niya pa na nakita niya din si Rose sa dalampasigan na may kadate na lalaki. Malinaw na iba ang may katalik sa shore at iba din si Rose na may kadate. At hindi pa sure si Junex na si Rose ba talaga ang nakita na may kadate. Namiss interpret ni Rose ang mga narinig nagpaalam na umuwi at umiiyak. Akala niya siya ang pinag-uusapan na may katalik at umuwi nga at nagsumbong sa kanyang mama, kinunfirm ng kanyang mama ang estorya at yun inexplain naming na hindi siya ang tinutukoy sa kweto kaya after two days ay bumalik rin ito.

Glacy

Siya si Glacy or some would call her Glessy. Pinagkakatiwalaan namin siya sa pagbabantay ng aming munting tindahan habang kami ay wala or nasa taas lang at nagpapahinga. Napakahilig niya sa pagbabasa ng pocketbooks na tagalong. 17 na siya at maraming atang bfs sa text. Matagal narin siya sa amin mula pa sa main store namin hanggang sa magbukas ng isa pang store sa baba ng bahay kung saan kami nakatira. Tindahan ang baba nitong bahay ng aking lolo at lola na nasa kabilang buhay na.

Isang regular na araw, madalang ang mga bumibili so wala kaming ginagawa kundi magkantyawan hanggan sa naabutan ko siya na kumakanta habang malikot na gumigiling ang kanyang bewang, hindi niya alam na pinagmamasdan ko siya hanggang sa biglang sabi ko “sige baba mopa” saka niya lang napansin na nakita ko lahat ng kalikotan niya sa pagsasayaw. Nahiya man siya eh wala na siyang magagwa dahil sa hindi niya na ma deny. Minsan din, kasi nga ang aming wika dito ay Bisaya ginagawa niyang halohalo ang mga salita habang siya ay may kausap. Nakaka aliw din na kasama itong si Glacy. Siya ay aking pamangkin sa second degree cousin ko, sa medaling sabi pinsan ko ang kanyang mama.

A Blog for New Year

Our New year was incredibly celebrated with superb happiness. Dad bought a lechon (roasted pig), mom prepared salad, float and cakes, I made bbq, wifey bought an ice cream and the 13 fruits by my bro. As they say the 13 fruits are symbol of luck for money.

We celebrated the new year party in my grannies house, my grannies were gone.

The party lasted until the morning together with my neighbours and cousins Eunice and Brian.

We went to the beach and their in the evening wifey was mad coz i blacked out, too drunk.

The following day, i got up trying to remember what happened, the last thing i remebered was i was mad because my car did not start. And right there in the driver's seat i slept.. Somebody drove us home.

It is indeed the year of the roaring metal tiger, thou i blacked out on January 1, still my optimism to have a good year, my energy,are high.

High hopes and hopefully like a tiger as it roars, its gonna be all the luck I wanted.

Blog for Christmas

Christmas Blog

I have always wanted Holiday season, because people are happy, specially the foods that we share, drinks to the max until I drop. Christmas for me is a season to be happy, to share with friends and family.

But before we do all these we must always thanks the celebrant “BRO” as the kapamilya called our savior Jesus Christ for the wonderful world that we have, thou a lot of adversities to pass thru. As a devotee of Roman Catholic it is a big NO for my mom that we cannot go to church to attend the Christmas Mass.

After the mass we prepare the food, the drinks and the wines, beers and all kinds of alcohol, as pinoys we are fond of the so called “paputok” fire crackers that even prohibited and regulated still we ignore the law and try not be caught in lighting one.

The meaning really is thanking our Lord for all the blessings that we have. And enjoying every single blessing big or small.

Cherryl Wiser?

Cherryl Wiser for short is Che.

She was with us last time we were in Tagum to celebrate wifey's dad's death anniversary.

That night, we had some drink at C5 Tagum. As I mentioned in my previous blog.

We had several bottles of beer, Cherryl was telling her bloopers in call center where she is presently employed.

She is now a sales agent for at&t which is based only in Los Angeles, CA.

She calls customer to purchase or extend their contract with the company in exchange for new phone for free.

Then she got a call, and she was reading all the script which is very verbatim.

One customer she called was frustrated with her accent and the service too.

The customer asked for her name.

Customer: "What is your name?"
Che: "Cherryl sir."
Customer: "Your last name?"
Che: "Why sir?"
Customer: "Why sir? OH I see Wiser."

Che was confused on what the customer was telling about her name.

Customer: "Oh I see, Cherryl Wiser (irate) I would like to talk to your supervisor."

Cherryl: "Without hesitation dropped the call."

Another blooper of Cherryl Wiser. She actually asked what the customer meant.

While she was delivering her script the customer asked.

Customer: "I would like you to put me off from this phone"
Che: "sure" then she continued reading the script.

Customer: "I would like you to put me off from this phone" for the second time.
Che: "its okey sir I can actually give you a free phone"

Customer: " for the third time I would like you to put me off from this phone, this is bullshit, because you cannot understand simple fuckin english, give me your manager"

Che: "Okay bye" she was confident telling bye but the truth was she really did not understand what the customer meant.

LOL, that's why she asked me. As I understood it, it was simply ending the call, but it was absurd because the customer can end the call by himself.

Hilarious isn't it?

I was also in a Call Centre Industry several times. This type of call made my every shifts toxic yet funny.

Death Anniversary

Wifey's dad passed away last year and its his first death anniversary.

Wifey went home to her hometown Tagum City where she was born and grew.

She asked Manang Linda our maid to accompany her to her place.

She wanted Nang Linda to help them clean the house.

Day before Oct. 19 they went home together.

I cannot accompany wifey because no one will be home and I will be attending a semester end party in the afternoon.

That was Oct. 19 the death anniversary, I drove all by myself to their house in Tagum, It was very unfortunate because I was not able to attend the prayer in the cemetery also the prayer at home.

I arrived so late, as they say "better late than never".
When I got there, it was very timely because dinner was laready served.

After the dinner we went somewhere to have some drinks with wifey's friend Cheryl Wiser.( I'll be disclosing in my next bloog why thy name).

We had some drinks at C5 Tagum.

The place was very similar to C5s in Davao City.

The difference was the people around. They were lesser in terms of sophistication.

The night was cool and we went home after we dropped Che at her sisters house.

We arrived in wifey's house at around 1 AM.

Ai was still awake wehen we got home.(wifey's elder sister)

I had some nightmare. Very violent nightmare which scared me a lot.

I woke up around 3 AM because of the volently scary nighmare. I woke up wfey because i wanna pee and i won't deny the fact that i'm scared in their house, i asked here to accompany me to the CR.

We woke up late.

Killing The Time

It is a nature of us Filipinos to have many activities which would consume our spare time.

Karaoke singing which we share most of the time with our fellas, friends, relatives and families is one.

Going somewhere in the midst of nature like fresh water resorts, beaches, forests and the likes, which are very ideal celebrations of nature with friends and love ones.

I have done mostly of the typical things that we Pinoy enjoyed during leisure time.

I have just known how to play the so called "TONG-ITS".

Nang Linda taught me how.

Zone, Special, with same characters. One has to have thirteen cards and the other/s twelve.

Since las tweek I spent sleepless nights just to play this card game together with dad's buddies and wifey.

So, I have added this as an avenue to kill time.(superficially killing the time)

I have gone through the semester end party at the Forest Hills in bangkal, davao City.

I have noticed people in our neighbour cottage were playing "TONG-ITS"

I don't know why it is called as such, but one thing is clear.....

It is a way to spend leisure hours.


while playing "tong-its"

Semester is over

I came home almost 8PM exhausted after the four exams.

Yes, that's right semester is over and I'm happy.

I will be missing teachers and classmates.

I am hoping that all the five subjects will be passed.

I'll be earning 15 units if very fortunate.

Final Exam Day

While writing this blog entry, I am preparing my self for the exam.

After taking lunch I will be going to school to take 4 exams.

Hopefully things will go through in my favor.

Hopefully I will pass all my subjects this semester after committing many absences.

I am so thankful to my teachers for being so lenient with my attendance.

I will be missing some of my classmates, specially in one subject which they usually asked me to make a script for our group. "kahalayan Script" "China" and the "Drug Addiction Script"

Hoping

We are together for more than a 2 years now, my wifey.

We have never used contraception.

Things just happened in no timing which we had regrets of what happened.

We were hoping since then to have a baby but until now we have not given, yet we are hoping.

She is delayed in her cycle now and we are hoping that it will push through....her pregnancy.

I have been praying that anytime soon the gift of life will be given to us.

I have a son with my ex which she fully accepted since we started. I am now on the verge of thinking how to earn money for my son (GP), for us (wifey and me)and for my future family (wifey and my kids).
