must read!! when we were just kids :D

grabbed from ray ray :D

Nag enjoy akong bumasa neto. Tama nga sila, dumaan nga ako sa pagiging bata. Haha. Ang kulit!


• Masaya ka kapag naglalaro ka ng Tex at Pog. Kadalasan ang design dito ay yung mga palabas sa TV, mga drama o kaya anime, may dialogue pa. lol.

• May comics pa ang bazooka. Kahit di mo maintindihan yung Fortune Cookie sa huli ay collection mo pa rin yun.

• Uso pa yung tirador, yung gawa talaga sa sanga ng puno.

• Ang mga babae naglalaro ng paper dolls na tigpipiso bawat isang set sa sari-sari store.

• Kung lalake ka, siguradong may pellet gun ka.

• Humihingi ka ng dalawang piso sa magulang mo para maglaro ng video arcade sa sari-sari store. Favorite mo yung Sonic, Mario at Street Fighter at Tetris.

• Nagwa-watusi ka kapag New Year kahit pinapagalitan ka ng nanay mo. ]

• Meron kang sapatos na umiilaw yung swelas kapag iniaapak mo. Mas sikat kung iba-iba yung kulay.

• Merong at least isang Chicago Bulls na shirt sa bahay nyo. Madalas number 23 pa yung nakalagay.

• Pinapatulog ka ng yaya/nanay mo tuwing tanghali o hapon para raw lumaki. Hindi na kasi pinapatulog ang mga bata ngayon tuwing tanghali di tulad nung panahon natin.

• Sinasabihan ka ng matatanda na may lalabas na pari o bigas sa sugat mo kapag hindi nilagyan ng alcohol pero in the end, betadine lang ang magpapatahimik sa inyo.

• Kung babae ka, nagkaroon ka ng butterfly hairclips/rings. ( si Jolina ang nagpauso nito.) haha.

• Kung medyo may pera ang pamilya nyo, nagpabili ka ng Polly Pocket.

• Naglalagay ka ng Kisses (yung mabango) sa pencil case mo, o kaya sa isang lalagyan na may bulak, alcohol at tinutusok ng karayom para mabilis manganak.

• May free stickers ng Disney movies sa loob ng Maggi noodles.

• Pinapatunog mo yung takip ng Gatorade.

• Ang mga stationeries na uso: Papemelroti, Tsukuba, Sashikibuta. Pwedeng ibenta, pwedeng trade lang.

• Pampalipas oras mo dati ang paglalaro ng Brick Game, at swerte yung mga may advanced version na may tumatagos na blocks para mapuno na yung gap sa loob. Mas advanced ka kung Tamagotchi ang nilalaro mo. Pinapakain mo, pinapatulog mo, at inililibing mo kung namatay na. At kung talagang kaya nyong bumili, Game Boy ang sayo. Pero kung wala ka talaga, yung laruan na lang na may tubig sa loob tapos dapat ma-shoot mo yung mga bilog sa stick na maliit.

• Bago magsimula ang klase, nakikilaro ka muna sa 10-20, jackstone, langit lupa, ice water, taguan, dr. quack quack, tumbang preso, pepsi seven up at agawan base. Di bale nang madumi na ang uniform mo pagpasok ng classroom.

• Sinasabi mo sa kaklase mo na "Liars go to hell" kapag tingin mo nagsisinungaling sya. "Cross my heart, hope to die" kapag nangangako ka. "Period no erase" kapag gusto mo walang kumontra sayo. Kaya lang wala kang lusot kapag sinabi ng kaklase mo na "Akin yung factory ng pambura".

• Sikat ka pag ang pencil case mo nabubuksan sa dalawang side tapos maraming attachments like magnifying lens, book stand, compartments na maliliit tapos push button pa. Minsan sa ibabaw ng pencil case meron pang maze, may maliit na silver na bola tapos itatagilid mo yung pencil case para gumulong yun, hanggang sa matapos yung maze.

• Di ka baduy kung ang notebook mo nung elementary ay may mukha ng artista.

• Sa coolman mo inilalagay ang tubig na baon mo sa school.

• Nagpabili ka ng Baby-G sa magulang mo.

• Elementary ka nung nauso ang pager. Yun pa ang pinapangarap ng mga bata, hindi pa cell phone.

• Meron ka pa rin ng pinakamalaking cell phone na nakatago na ngayon sa mga kahon.

• Wala pang PS/PS2, XBox, Wii, atbp. noon. Family Computer pa lang, yung cartridge yung bala. Usong laro ang Mario Bros., Battle City at Rambo.

• Meron ka ng isa sa mga ito: Family Computer, Nintendo, Sega, roller blades, brick game, Tamagochi, Swatch Watch w/ matching guard, Troll collection.

• Alam mo ang mga linyang ito sa mga kanta: "Natatawa ako, hi hi hi hi", "Anong paki mo sa long hair ko", "Dahil sa bawal na gamot", "Mga kababayan ko, bilib ako sa kulay ko".

• Isa dito ay theme song mo: "I Swear" by All 4 One, "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes (And I say, Hey ey ey ey ey ey. I said hey, What's goin on!), "Zombie" by Cranberries.

• Sumasayaw ka ng Macarena.

• Alam mo ang kanta ng Spice Girls at may favorite ka sa kanila. Kung fan ka talaga, may poster ka pa at casette tape ka pa nila.

• Malamang ay naging fanatic ka ng isa sa mga sumikat na boy bands.

• Ang tinutugtog lagi sa radyo ay mga kanta ng mga banda gaya ng Eraserheads, Parokya ni Edgar nung nagpapalda pa lang sila, Alamid, Rivermaya, True Faith, The Youth, Afterimage at kung anu-ano pang pinoy bands.

• Tape pa ang uso, di CD or MP3 players. Pag gusto mo yung kanta kailangan tantyahin mo kung ilang seconds i-rewind yun para mabilis paulit-ulitin.

• Kinakanta nyo dati sa school yung "Heal the World", "Tell the World of His Love", "Jubilee Song", etc.

• Nanonood ka dati ng Power Rangers, Captain Planet o Ninja Turtles. Nagkukunyari pa kayo ng mga kaibigan mo na kayo yun at nagkakasipaan kayo.

• Di ka papagalitan ng magulang kahit magbabad ka sa TV, basta ang pinapanood mo ay Hiraya Manawari, Bayani at Sine Skwela, kung saan nakilala mo sila Teacher Waki, Ugat Puno, Palikpik, at ang buong barkada nila lalo na kapag nakasakay sila sa space ship o sa jeep na lumilipad.

• Sinubaybayan mo ang Ghost Fighter at ang Dragon Ball. Naging favorite mo si Eugene at si Goku.

• Niloloko mo yung theme song ng Voltes V kasi di mo maintindihan yung theme song: "Tato ni Ara Mina malaking cobra...", "Boltes Payb lima sila, pumunta sa kubeta...", "...Kontra Bulate!"

• Napanood mo din yung ibang anime tulad ng Shaider, Sailormoon, Daimos at Maskman. Saulo mo pa nga yung kanta dun: "Oh maskuman kayo ang pag-asa.. Iligtas kami sa marahas na kadiliman... Kami inyong ipaglaban! Sugod, sugod laban maskuman, ipaglaban nyo ang katarungan.. Sige, sige laban maskuman.."

• Sinubaybayan mo ang Sarah ang Munting Prinsesa, Julio at Julia, at Cedi. Pinanood mo pa nga yung movie version ng Sarah ang Munting Prinsesa with Camille Prats.

• Alam mo din yung "Ang Pulubi at ang Prinsesa" with Camille Prats and Angelica Panganiban.

• Gusto mong sumali sa ANG TV. Pero alam mong hindi na pwede. kaya kuntento ka na lang sa panonood nito tuwing 4:30 ng hapon.

• Batibot ang usong palabas. Akala mo nga mag-dyowa o mag-asawa sina Kuya Bodjie at Ate Sheena.

• Alam mo yung tono ng pinausong kanta ng show na "ATBP.": Isa.. dalawa-tatlo.. apat-lima.. anim-pito-walo.. syam-sampu... labingisa-labingdalawa... labingtatlo... labingapat-labinglima...

• Napanood mo ang Batang X.

• Sabay kayo nanonood ng yaya mo ng Marimar.

• Nanonood ka ng kahit alin dito: "Okay Ka Fairy Ko", "Oki Doki Doc", "Abangan ang Susunod na Kabanata", "Palibhasa Lalake", "Ober da Bakod", at "Home Along Da Riles"

• Galit ka kay Clara kasi sobra naman talaga sya mang-api kay Mara.

• Pinanood mo din yung "Villa Quintana", "Esperanza", "Anakarenina" atbp.

• Mga love teams na nagpakilig sayo: Juday and Wowie. Jolina and Marvin.

• Alam mo yung commercial ng Tender Juicy hotdog na ganito: "Dear diary, Carlo sat beside me today. He's so cute! Sabi niya I'm pretty kaya lang I'm fat."

• Kinakanta mo yung "Thank God it's Sabado, pati na rin Linggo..." at "Isa pa, isa pa, isa pang Chicken Joy".

• Nasa channel 2 pa ang Eat Bulaga at ang Mel and Jay.

• Nakikita mo sa balita na may mga kultong nagtatago na sa kweba, kasi magugunaw na ang mundo sa year 2000, at yung mga computer daw bigla na lang mag-shu-shut down at mawawala na daw ang technology.

• Chinese variety shows ang palabas tuwing umaga ng linggo.

• Matapang ka kung napanood mo lahat ng Shake, Rattle and Roll movies.

• Narinig mong i-announce sa radyo yung death ni Princess Diana. Biglang nauso yung kanta ni Elton John na "Goodbye, England's Rose."

• Nasa VHS yung mga movies na pinapanood ninyo sa bahay.

• Kung babae ka, naging crush mo si Leonardo di Caprio dahil sa Titanic. Kaya nga lang, bawal ka pa tumingin sa kissing scenes nina Jack at Rose. Haha.

proposal daisakusen

lately, i've been watching this japanese drama titled: "proposal daisakusen" - "the second proposal" in english. basically, it's about a guy who's in love with his childhood best friend. sadly, he only realizes this during his best friend's wedding. he then wishes with all his heart that he could somehow go back to the past and tell her how he feels. to his surprise, a fairy (yeah.. a fairy :D ) grants him his wish and allows him to go back to the past using the pictures on the a slide show made for the wedding.

it's a 12-episode series and each episode sports more or less an hour of silly, romantic, funny and heart-rending scenes. i enjoyed every minute of it. it's definitely a treat for romantics. hehe. you can watch it in crunchyroll. here the link to make it easier for you: click me

Davao City is still number 1

i dunno how true this is but i sure hope it is. I found this on the Friendster bulletin board:
Davao City is still the No. 1 most competitive city in the Philippines. It remains as the best place to do business in the country.
Results of the latest ranking by the Asian Institute of Management Policy Center presented last night showed Davao City beating local government units in the capital Metro Manila. In the last survey two years ago, Davao City was tied for No. 1 with Makati City, the nation’s premier financial center.
A total of 90 local government units were included in the survey, metropolitan, mid-sized and small cities. Davao City topped two of six key competitive drivers and scored the highest rate among highly urbanized cities.
Key drivers:
Cost of doing business - No. 1 - Davao City
Infrastructure - No. 1 - Davao City
Dynamism of local economy - No. 1 - Makati City; No. 4 - Davao City
Quality of life - No. 1 - Mandaluyong City; No. 7 - Davao City
Responsiveness of local government - No. 1 - San Juan City; No. 3 - Davao City
Human resources & training - No. 1 - Marikina City; No. 7 - Davao City
Overall among the metro cities:
1. Davao City
2. Quezon City
3. Makati City
4. Manila City
5. Marikina City
6. Lapu-lapu City
7. Paranaque City
8. Muntinlupa City
9. Cebu City
10. Pasay City
Olongapo City topped the mid-sized cities while San Fernando, La Union was No. 1 among small cities.
I love DC. :)

Macross Frontier Addiction

I can't get enough of this anime.

Macross Frontier is set In the year 2059 AD, the human race has overcome the crisis of imminent extinction resulting from the inter-planetary war against giant aliens. Now, emphasizing species preservation, they set out for the far corners of the Galaxy to find new frontiers. It's the sequel to that famous anime in the late 80's, Macross.

The fighterjet/mech robo valkyries has captured many endearing fans. The series has spawned lots of material in different media such as movies, anime, games, and toys. One thing worth mentioning is the Macross game on the Famicom game console. I love that game! Too bad my Famicom is broken.. all 10 of them. (They only last for a couple of hours and poof!.. dead.. scrap metal.)



i absolutely love the mecha but what i love even more are the songs which the leading lady sings, Ranka-chan. Kawaii!! hehe.

another thought about love

this is a quote taken from a book, eleven minutes. i'd like to share it.

"Love is not to be found in someone else, but in ourselves; we simply awaken it. But in order to do that , we need the other person. The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with." -maria

how to hold hands

holding hands is the best feeling in the world.. well, at least for me :D

so for those who don't know how to hold hands.. here's how.

steps:

  1. Visualize how it will feel. If you are nervous, think of how good it will feel if the other person holds back.
  2. Take a hold of the other person's hand. While sitting, standing or walking next to that person, grasp his or her hand and lightly squeeze.
  3. Wait for a return squeeze. If they squeeze back, most times, they enjoy your company and don't mind you holding their hand.
  4. Use a hand-holding method. There are two approaches to hold another person's hand.
    • You can either just grasp their hand and hold it (easy to achieve, but harder to stay held on longer); or
    • Interlock fingers, which sometimes takes some work, but because the other person is holding on too, you can stay holding hands longer. Most times, it's better if you just start off with doing the first example until you are sure that the other person is okay with holding hands and will hold on.
  5. If you're absolutely sure that the person you held hands with is enjoying your company, look at him or her straight in the eyes and smile subtly.
tips:
  • Most times, the simple grasp of the hand will do but a more "intimate" way to hold hands is the interlocking finger grasp.
  • With very young kids, offer them your finger for them to grasp their tiny hand around.
  • If you can feel your hand starting to sweat, let go of his or her hand and hold his or her other hand.
  • Smile a lot. Girls and guys love to see a lovely smile.
  • Try not to hold hands with someone you like when you are freezing, because cold hands can be a MAJOR turn-off.
warnings:

If they don't hold back, it may be very embarrassing for both you and the person you are with! Make sure they really like you!

remember. you can only do this with your significant other or a young child. no holding hands with random people and strangers for that matter. you can also hold hands with your close friends. :D

what my name supposedly means...

You entered: Dirk Darrel Malacon Tiu

There are 20 letters in your name.
Those 20 letters total to 92
There are 8 vowels and 12 consonants in your name.

What your first name means:

TeutonicMaleDagger.
GermanMaleDagger.
EnglishMaleVariant of Derek: Gifted ruler. People ruler. Variant of the Old German Theodoric. Famous bearer: Derrick was a 17th century hangman at Tyhurn, whose name became synonymous with 'gallows' and now refers to a type of crane..
DutchMaleA diminutive of Derek meaning people ruler. Famous bearer: British actor Dirk Bogarde. A Dutch forms of Theodoric.

Your number is: 11

The characteristics of #11 are: High spiritual plane, intuitive, illumination, idealist, a dreamer.

The expression or destiny for #11:
Your Expression number is 11. The number 11 is the first of the master numbers. It is associated with idealistic concepts and rather spiritual issues. Accordingly, it is a number with potentials that are somewhat more difficult to live up to. You have the capacity to be inspirational, and the ability to lead merely by your own example. An inborn inner strength and awareness can make you an excellent teacher, social worker, philosopher, or advisor. No matter what area of work you pursue, you are very aware and sensitive to the highest sense of your environment. Your intuition is very strong; in fact, many psychic people and those involved in occult studies have the number 11 expression. You possess a good mind with keen analytical ability. Because of this you can probably succeed in most lines of work, however, you will do better and be happier outside of the business world. Oddly enough, even here you generally succeed, owing to your often original and unusual approach. Nonetheless, you are more content working with your ideals, rather than dollars and cents.

The positive aspect of the number 11 expression is an always idealistic attitude. Your thinking is long term, and you are able to grasp the far-reaching effects of actions and plans. You are disappointed by the shortsighted views of many of your contemporaries. You are deeply concerned and supportive of art, music, or of beauty in any form.

The negative attitudes associated with the number 11 expression include a continuous sense of nervous tension; you may be too sensitive and temperamental. You tend to dream a lot and may be more of a dreamer than a doer. Fantasy and reality sometimes become intermingled and you are sometimes very impractical. You tend to want to spread the illumination of your knowledge to others irrespective of their desire or need.

Your Soul Urge number is: 8

A Soul Urge number of 8 means:
With an 8 soul urge, you have a natural flair for big business and the challenges imposed by the commercial world. Power, status and success are very important to you. You have strong urges to supervise, organize and lead. Material desires are also very pronounced. You have good executive abilities, and with these, confidence, energy and ambition.

Your mind is analytical and judgment sound; you're a good judge of material values and also human character. Self-controlled, you rarely let emotions cloud judgment. You are somewhat of an organizer at heart, and you like to keep those beneath you organized and on a proper track. This is a personality that wants to lead, not follow. You want to be known for your planning ability and solid judgment.

The negative aspects of the 8 soul urge are the often dominating and exacting attitude. You may have a tendency to be very rigid, sometimes stubborn.

Your Inner Dream number is: 3

An Inner Dream number of 3 means:
You dream of artistic expression; writing, painting, music. You would seek to more freely express your inner feeling and obtain more enjoyment from life. You also dream of being more popular, likable, and appreciated.


apparently, i'm a "people ruler" hehe

the irony of life

i want what i can't have
i take for granted what i've got
i can't see the value of something/someone until i lose it
i want to work when i'm not working
i want to rest when i AM working
i want others to notice me while i'm trying to be invisible
i so badly want to be loved that i dread the feeling
and when i do love, i want the feeling to end
i tend to love someone who doesn't love me
i always take for granted the ones that do love me
i can say i love you and not mean it
i can't say i love you when i do mean it
i like organized chaos

...

marchin one year later

happy endings really do happen. i remember it very clearly: the frustration, the anger, the confusion, the regret and most of all, the disappointment. last year's run at our senior project wasn't a walk in the park --- and yeah, it really WAS a RUN. we had to beat deadlines, do defense after defense, and just about anything to save our asses from re-enrolling that life-chaging subject and NOT graduating. i realized then that it was our fault in the first place for not starting our project early. i was a carefree, no-worries-in-the-world kind of guy. well, that's all changed. mind you, i'm still a carefree, no-worries-in-the-world kind of guy but with a little bit extra - i have God by my side now.

i remember a text that my friend sent me, "...remember a delay is not a denial from God; at his own time, He will make all things beautiful. i guess it really takes faith, not just conventional faith but genuine faith in God. We can't always have what we want when we want it. we just have to wait coz in the end, God will give us more than we could ever imagine.

a feeling i can't fight alone

I miss you
It’s crazy to pretend that I don’t think of you
The more this feeling just seems to grow and grow

I miss you
Oh how much longer can I hold on to
Maybe you can come and tell me that you miss me too

Miss you…

black valentines

i feel like every day of my life is wasted if i'm not with you. i'm missing a special part of me. believe it or not, you complete me.. in ways i do not understand but feel. every time i gazed upon my heart, i see you.. my love for you is blind.. but i don't mind walking through a dark tunnel.. as long as you are at the end and also... at the beginning.

"what does a nose and a car have in common"?

i was coming home from work. the dawn just broke and the early morning sunshine bathe the streets. my eyes we're bloodshot - a proven effect of staring at a computer screen for eight hours and lack of sleep. i was cruisin along the road and then all of a sudden, a guy on a bike beeped his horn, pointed to his nose and then to my van. i was wondering what the heck the guy was up to. i thought to myself: "is this guy making fun of my nose? what a jackass!!". then i started to make the connection. it took me awhile, my brain was exhausted and it took at least 10 seconds for me to process the info. "what does a nose and a car have in common"? filipinos usually have FLAT noses.. what part of my van could be FLAT?... tires... a tire must be FLAT.. i pulled over near the sidewalk..
