Ang Anghel at ang Demonyo

My best friend and i often talks about life. We talk and argue about silly things, laugh at hilarious mishaps, share personal stuffs, debate about our beliefs and ideas (that we often do to piss and screw up each other), and a lot more stuffs our curious minds can think off. Yeah, I can’t say we’re different from other best of friends on this planet, but i think… neither are we close.

If i think about it, we are the ODDEST and WEIRDEST best of friends existing in this speck of the universe! Why? Well… think about having a ‘priest’ as a friend, then tell me if that’s something you see everyday?

Well, he’s not a priest just yet, but with a year to go, I think i’ll be confessing my scrolls of sins to him anytime soon. haha I think it would be a lot easier for me to spill my evil deeds by then, and go to heaven! If i would? lol

In one talk we had. Death was his chosen topic. And specifically. when he’s the one going to the other side.

paring best friend: “Pag namatay na ko… blah.. blah…” (When i die…)

piapot: …. uhuh.

paring best friend: “kelangan ganito… kwan… ganun…” (It’s suppose to be like this… ah… like that…)

piapot: ah…. o tapos? (ok, then?)

paring best friend: “tapos… blah… blah…” (Then.. blah… blah…)

piapot: (hikab) (yawn)

paring best friend: “Hoy! (sabay batok) nakikinig ka man lang ba? ako mamamatay dito no?” (Hey! are you even listening? I’m the one who’s going to die here?)

piapot: “ah ikaw na ba yung mamamatay? di ko narinig.” (ah, your the one who’s going to die now? i didn’t get that.)

paring best friend: “Kanina pa ko nagsasalita dito di ka naman pala nakikinig!” (I was talking for a long time and you weren’t even listening!)

piapot: “eh isa ka naman kasing malaking etok! muka ba kong interesado sa pagkamatay mo?” (you big fool! do i look as if i’m interested about you dying?)

paring best friend: “mas malaki lang etok! pag ako namatay lagot ka sakin pag hindi mo ginawa mga inutos ko! o kaya naman ako na lang angel mo?” (your a bigger fool! When i die your in big trouble if you won’t do what i told you! or maybe i can just be your angel?)

piapot: “tungaw! wag kang ambisyoso! demonoyo ka tol! demonyo! haha” (stupid! don’t be ambitious! your a demon brother! demon! haha)

paring best friend: “eh ikaw, anong akala mo sa sarili mo? anghel?” (you, what do you think about yourself? an angel?)

piapot: “hoy… mabait ako noh… kung ako man ay magiging alagad ni satanas, ikaw ang babantayan ko!” (hey! i’m good… and if i would be Satan’s disciple, your the one whom i’m going to guide!)

paring best friend: “ah ganun?” (oh is that so?)

pipot: “oo ganun nga! at tsaka di ka pwede mamatay ngayon dahil ikaw magkakasal sakin no! para naman magkaron ng silbi ang pagpapari mo! tapos nun sige pwede na. haha” (you got it right! and you can’t die now cause you’ll be the priest in my marriage so that your priesthood will have some worth! haha)

And it doesn’t stop there i tell you… well, not until we’re both tired of ditching each other. Maybe it’s just that we both already have accepted the fact of death. I don’t know… it’s the only constant thing is this world man can’t accept. and like what he told me “When one man accept the fact that he’s going to die, that is his first time for him to live an authentic life.”

But at least, after all we have said and done, we still have each other’s back.

Well what do you know…

Angels and Demons can be friends after all.

Super powers + Neurotic Sister = Destruction

It started when i woke up exactly at 7:00 am. I really felt the same to tell you. i had my same puffy eyes, my old aching back, my perfectly chubby tummy, and my perfectly messed up hair. Though when my ate saw me writing this, she eventually yelled at me between controlled burst of laughters – “Hoooooyyyyy! hindi yun super powers! poison ka kaya nun!” (Hey! that wasn’t super powers! you were a poison!), now you already have an idea on how i really messed up that day.

You see, I’m not really a techie person. Sometimes…(okay most of the times), i actually mess things up when it’s all gadgety… and shiny… and… and… and… modern. you know the stuffs technology comes up with? Yeah, yeah those sort of stuffs. The only thing that makes me a little more advanced in using these is when compared to a five year old kid, okay, make that three. But what happened that day i have seriously no idea. or i just didn’t have any idea? whatever. Blank.

I was just sitting in front of my aunt’s computer and trying to suck up an idea on what i have to write about for another blog post here. Then, when i am actually getting to my innermost thoughts and was already starting to write, the computer just hanged…! and hanged… and hanged. So I yelled to call my sister on the other room, “Ateeeeeee!!!!!! nag-hang yung p.c!!!!” (Sister! the computer hanged!) but she didn’t answer. I thought it was just another stupid virus or something that made it hanged so i tried to restart it and then it went tooot…. tooot… tooot…. I didn’t know what’s wrong with it and why it is like a choo-choo train now. Then i shouted even louder for my sister “Ateeeee!!! di ko alam gagawin ko dito….. para na siyang choo-choo train.” (Sister! I don’t know what to do here… it’s like a choo-choo train now), then she answered, “I-restart mo kaya” (restart it again). Then i tried to open it again and poof! yeah, it broke. I’m dead. So when i couldn’t do anything i know anymore, “Ah… ate… nasira na yata” (Uhm.. sister… i think its broken). I remembered seeing my oh-no face reflection in the monitor, then my sister tried to open it herself, “Baka naman napagod lang?” (maybe it’s just tired?), but it went toot-toot again for God’s sake. “Grabe, kanina ok naman to. Nilason mo naman yata yung p.c eh?” (gosh, it was okay a while a go. have you poisoned the computer?) “wala naman kaya akong ginawa, bigla na lang siiyang nag-hang at nagtoo-toot jan eh?” (I didn’t do anything, it just hanged and went toot?) but yea… it is broken. Piapot, one point for destruction. And it doesn’t end there.

After destroying my aunt’s perfectly in shape computer and got tired of waiting for some genie to fix it up and failing to write a new blog post, our mother rang us just on time to go home to talk with the linemen from a network site for our internet connection. I can still remember her voice like a choir of angels singing on my back “umuwi na kayo, kakabitan na ng internet ang p.c.” (go home now, the computer will have it’s internet connection). Rebound, Piapot!

When the linemen arrived and had the talk with the my mom and sib, i opened our computer in the study room to be checked for the connection. I plugged it up. Switched the a.v.r on. and then i pressed the unit’s power button. Now it’s open, then i showed the fat guy the unit. He checked it up, i entered my room, then he signaled his men to start the job. It was taking a long time so i was lying on my bed and waited, until… toot… toot… toot… I was hearing the sound of the choo-choo train unit of my aunt. I paused. Wait, is my brain left in my aunt’s house or my brain is tooting? toot… toot… toot… I went out to see if something was wrong, and to my surprise… yeah something was definitely wrong, and no, i’m not hallucinating and something is tooting and it’s definitely not my brain… but… but… yeah… this time, our computer was tooting! And to think is was functioning brilliantly when i opened it! damn it!

Piapot: “Ate!!!! p.c naman natin ngayon ang sira!!!!” (sister! now our computer is broken!)

Musang: “Ano? ano nanaman ba ang ginawa mo?” (What? what on earth did you do again?) “

Piapot: “wala naman akong ginawa ah? (i didn’t do anything?) manong, ikaw sumira ng p.c. namin no?” (sir, you’re the one who broke our computer)

Manong na mataba: “hindi po mam ah, bigla na lang pong namatay at tumunog yan eh?” (no mam, it shut off on it’s own then began tooting)

Musang: “Grabe pia, nilason mo na naman ang p.c.” (gosh pia, you’ve poisoned the computer again.)

Piapot: “wala naman akong ginawang mali eh?” (i didn’t do anything wrong?)

Doraemon: wenk… wenk… wenk… Piapot strike two. (x.x)

Having both computers distorted, my sister’s laptop was our only hope left, and it didn’t fail us (praise the Lord! Amen!). It was all settled. the laptop, the internet, everything just fine. Because we were using a laptop, it was constantly plugged to its charger all the time. My siblings were the first to use it, and when it was already my turn, the batteries hit the red mark and so i looked for the charger…. wait, it’s already plugged right? why isn’t it charging? and yea the destruction didn’t end with our computer. The charger broke. The laptop empty. Internet no use. Blog post… zero. And Piapot… strikes again!

aKo ay may lAbsung!

When I see your smile
Tears run down my face
I can’t replace
And now that I’m stronger I’ve figured out

How this world turns cold
And breaks through my soul
And I know, I’ll find deep inside me
I can be the one

I will never let you fall
I’ll stand up with you forever
I’ll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to Heaven

It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay

Seasons are changing and waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you, I’ll be the one

I will never let you fall
I’ll stand up with you forever
I’ll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to Heaven

‘Cause you’re my, you’re my, my
My true love, my whole heart
Please don’t throw that away

‘Cause I’m here for you
Please don’t walk away
And please tell me, you’ll stay, stay

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know, I’ll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I’ll stand up with you forever
I’ll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to Heaven

I will never let you fall
I’ll stand up with you forever
I’ll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to Heaven

I will never let you fall
I’ll stand up with you forever

It’s sweet and it’s mushy. Yeah, indeed every girl on this planet loves the feeling brought about by love struck songs. I have wondered so many times why love songs are a big hit. And you know what it makes a good conversation topic too! well i guess for me and my sister though. lol

My sister and i was listening to this song Your Guardian Angel by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. And when she was singing it with all her heart, with matching kilig and papikit-pakit, i have translated few of its lines into my own version and we sure did have a good laugh:

I will never let you fall, o bakit ka na sa sahig? (why are you on the floor?)

I’ll stand up for you forever, hindi ba nakakangawit yun? (isn’t that tiring?)

I’ll be there for you through it all, oo, tapos tatawanan kita (ok, then i’ll laugh at you)

Even if saving you sends me to heaven, sige, mauna ka na sunod na lang ako (go ahead, you first then i’ll follow)

Piapot: Ched, alam mo ba kung bakit uso ang love song? (sister, do you know why love songs are such a hit?)

Ched: Ewan ko. kelangan ko bang sagutin yan? haha teka baka naman joke yan ha? (i don’t know. do i really have to answer that? haha wait, are you kidding me?)

Piapot: Hindi. Seryosong bagay to. Kaya tanungin mo na ko kung bakit… (No. this is serious. So go ahead and asked why…)

Ched: haha ok eh bakit ganun? (ok, then why is it?)

Piapot: kasi hanggang kanta na lang ang love stories ngayon! (because love stories last only in love songs nowadays!)

lol we indeed had a burst of laughter out of this. To admit, I don’t have anything against love songs no matter how mushy or corny it may get to be honest. Sometimes i just can’t help but to fall for them either! I don’t know, really there are times that you get to smile out of the blue while listening to such. Sheesh. And to think i was talking about being mushy?

I don’t really know why men have a hard time with their feelings? Sometimes, when i get to see my guy friends try to spill it out, it seemed to me like they are puking rather than saying what they really want to say. And it sure wasn’t pretty i tell you. haha And to highlight one of his ultimate pick-up line here it goes… “miss, Aquende pala ang surname mo, eh di sweet ka pala?” (so your surname is Aquende, so your sweet too?) God, you should have seen my face! i was like turning blue trying to keep my mouth from exploding with laughter! hahahaha But i did try my best and only a few giggles came out, so at least i saved even a tiny bit of his dignity in front of this girl. Then we just laughed at him more when we were just the only ones left around and told him, “tol, wag mo ng uulitin yun ha? kulang ka pa sa practice!” (friend, don’t ever do that again huh? i think you still lack practice!) hahaha then we laughed even harder i wanted to roll on the ground! Good thing he’s such a good guy and didn’t get mad and cranky.

Maybe that’s why love songs are made? to save men from acting just stupid and all when they just get torpe (shy) to admit what they feel and just can’t spill it out right? Or maybe, it’s just one thing made to make a woman’s heart melt just because there is no one left in this whole world anymore who can do it on purpose? hahaha if that would be it, then it’ll just be a whole load of crap.

Oh well, boys will be boys.

i aM inDay!

you know, sometimes i scare myself when it comes to dirt. As for a self diagnosis, i think i’m quite of an obsessive compulsive when it comes to cleaning.

well, i kind of get messy sometimes, okay most of the times… but when i start cleaning things up i just can’t stop until i feel it’s clean! talk about a neat freak huh? i don’t know. it’s just that i can’t seem to move or touch it until i ‘know’ it’s safe. sheesh. what a dork. even my sisters ask me “huy may problema ka ba? o depressed ka ba?” (hey, do you have a problem? or your depressed?) cause i even like to spend the whole day just cleaning!

you see here, last Wednesday i stayed at my sisters dorm because i wasn’t able to ride a bus home cause it’s already nine, and when i arrived, damn the room looks like my dad’s garage or something like a bonfire waiting to be lit! and seeing my horrified face, my sister actually said “di pa ko nakakapaglinis eh” (i haven’t cleaned yet) but before she can even say just leave it, swish!!!!! throw here, pick there, a little wipe here, a little sweep there, and i’m already picking trash from the floor, putting used closed on the laundry basket and arranging books and stuffs! and with a few more seconds the place looked clean enough for me to sleep on the floor. And when i glanced at her to ask for her towel, she was just looking at me with a face trying to keep from laughing so loud! you see, it’s just that i can’t seem to take the fact that i am going to sleep with the room that messy! is there a problem with that?

another thing, after a little chit-chat and a few giggles, i was off for the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a shower, and to another surprise, i think there is really something wrong with my nose, or the lavatory just smells awful? it’s like a fish was left there to die of thirst! And God, i tried my best to just stay cool and pinch my nose so i won’t smell it, but it was just to awful for me to bear. so i got some water to a boil and flushed it. at least it worked! hahaha nice tip from my mom though, but come to think of it, it wasn’t even our house! lol thinking about it, even i get a good laugh.

at home, though we have a maid who cleans (i think?), when i get to my cleaning mode and start to dash things everywhere, my little sister, Kulot, even calls me Cinderella! with her famous lines “Sanse, sige ikaw na ngayon si Cinderella at ako ang evil sister mo. hala sige maglampaso ka jan!” (Sister, now you’ll be Cinderella and i’ll be your evil sister. now go and mop the floor!), “Sanse, siguro ikaw si Inday no? Umamin ka na, di ko ipagkakalat!” (Sister, maybe you’re Inday? Spill it out, I won’t tell anybody!), followed by her made evil laugh then me either throwing a rag at her face or telling her that i’d burn her whole closet. Then she’ll go with “Sige na nga tutulungan na kita.” (Alright, I will help you), or if she’s in the mood… “Dahil mabait ka ipag-gagawa na lang kita ng merienda pagkatapos.” (Because you are nice, i’ll go and make you a snack after.)

See i do get some reward from being the Inday once in a while. so i guess it’s not so bad after all huh?:-)

Insights from Kung Fu Panda

I was definitely struck by Po’s awesomeness!=)

Have you ever watched Kung Fu Panda? If you haven’t, you are missing half of your life!!!! It’s actually a story about this huge, fat, and clumsy panda named Po who loves Kung Fu, and God he is really pure awesomeness!

You know what is wrong with this world is that people take things too seriously.  So when things end up not the way we ought it to, that is when it hit us hard. And just to shed some light in your whining states and regretting moments, here are some great lines from Po’s journey in the Jade Palace:

“There are no accidents. “

“There is no good or bad news, just news.”

“You can not control that peach seed from sprouting. You may ask for an apple or an orange, but what you will have is a peach.”

“There is no secret ingredient. To have something special, you just have to believe it’s special.”

Spend time thinking about these lines and i tell you it’s all worth it. These may just come from a panda, or a goose, or a turtle, or a raccoon, but i tell you they can mean a lot. Besides, great things need not come from big people and big happenings. Life is something lived everyday. And the greatest surprises in this world don’t often come gift wrapped!
