So, I know it’s been awhile and I must have about about a million things to update this blog with, but let me start by broadcasting that I have now a mic and a headset which I can use for starting a podcast!

How cool is that right?

You’d get to hear my voice and listen to my sorrows and crappy days directly from me! I’m guessing that you wouldn’t really want to listen to crappy stuff from me all the time so I’ll try to make sure that I do my best in not boring you. How’s that?

——————–

Lol. I just listened to someone passing my house, crying and screaming (or possibly talking too loud) about her cellphone, how important it was, how expensive it was and how “they” could do something like that. I’m guessing someone stole it.

And after a few minutes, I heard some people talking outside that there was a few young teens who were fighting in the other street and apparently, got picked up by the police. I told you you’re gonna love my podcasts. Good night everyone.

TO AL MOTHERS OUT THERE, ESPECIALLY MINE:

You may be miles away
And we miss you everyday
We may be the lousiest to show it
But we love you and you should know it

There’s too little words that could explain
And too little actions to elaborate
How much we actually care
And how much we regret every heartache you bear

We know how much you sacrifice to make us happy
And someday we want to be the ones that worry
For all the trouble we’ve caused you
You should know we appreciate everything you do

Distance may be keeping us apart
But we hope we still have a piece of your heart
On this day especially for you
It’s only right we tell you what’s true

We’re sorry for everything that makes you blue
We’ll try to make up for it for all that we do
We hope you forgive us and give us that smile
The one you ought to wear and reach us throughout a mile

Happy Mother’s Day to the one who’s been there forever
Happy Mother’s Day to the one who make everything so much easier
Happy Mother’s Day to the one who inspires us to be better
Happy Mother’s Day to you, my beloved Mother.

I LOVE YOU MOM. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

It was an unplanned plan. We were supposed to go to Cebu with my family and due to some schedule reasons, I ended up alone. I was excited at first and despite the rain and what seemed to be a storm I felt good about travelling alone. I arrived at the Cebu airport and asked someone to take me to some motels and hotels to stay at. I was eating and they were waiting for me. Finally when I was ready to go we took off and I was lucky enough to meet someone else who was travelling alone. We were at the balcony of one of the hotels the tricycle drivers had suggested. We were discussing it and I was suddenly feeling really good and excited about solo travelling – again. Suddenly, I saw behind the girl I was with some waves. I was wondering at first why I was seeing it. And it hit me at the point where I realized I was in danger. I was watching my dream like I was the third party, like a movie. We were there, alone, holding onto the balcony when 2 huge waves, towering just a few meters above us hit through us – me. It almost felt like nothing and I thought it was because I could swim. The next one felt like a breeze as well and I didn’t have to hold my breath. The girl I was with wasn’t having the same ease. She was turned not to the balcony’s view but to the hotel and I wondered what she was looking at. I turned around to the view I hadn’t realized was there. Right after we were hit by 2 what seemed now as two small waves, behind us was a bigger wave, not sure where it came from but it was towering above the smaller waves awhile ago and it was going to ram with the smaller one. I waited for the wave to hit me, patiently and prepared for doom. I didn’t want to die and all I could think of was how lucky I was that my family wouldn’t have to experience this and how awful it would’ve been if my family was here and my two brothers wouldn’t have survived the first two tidal waves. I watched myself from the back this time as the higher wave hit through me. It seemed endless, unlike the two earlier waves. I was breathing normally and my eyes were closed. I don’t remember any force, any force from the waves. I opened my eyes once I couldn’t feel the water anymore, only to see another even bigger wave coming up. I braced myself, heart pounding and closed my eyes – praying not for my death but for the safety of my family. Being inside the water felt so long. I waited and I waited, holding my breath, afraid to let go, afraid to not hold my breath and die. When I couldn’t hold any longer, I woke up.

I don’t know what the dream means or if it does mean anything. But with all the earthquakes, tsunami warnings and all that, I hope it doesn’t mean anything bad.

Looking for a drinking hot spot? Or otherwise known to college students as “inuman spot?”

Well, Deos is the name!

Unknown, hidden and quite underdeveloped, Deos Hideout Bar is one of our newly discovered hideouts for our small college parties.
Located in Antipolo City, Rizal, just a short walk from Ynares Center, above Deogracias Resort and next to Tip Top Club, Deos is loved for its breathtaking view of Cainta and Metro Manila, just from their huts.
Imagine being able to drink, spend time with your friends and be entertained by a good overlooking view (inclusive of fireworks, usually Fridays and Saturdays and the amazing sunset and the Manila nightlife) without having to spend painful amounts of money.

Deos doesn’t have a dance floor nor does it have a big events place. Instead, the Hideout Bar functions in an open area, consisting of its main bar, kitchen and karaoke machine with a few tables and seats (probably seating less than 30 people) while other parties may occupy the surrounding huts.
Each hut can only seat a maximum of 15 – unless you’re really thin people and one small table.

A small bottle of San Mig Light costs Php 37, 1L bottle of Matador Brandy costs Php140 and I bet so does the Bar, while all cocktail drinks like Margarita and Blow Jobs (I don’t have the whole menu) costs Php 80/glass above.
Although you can order out or bring food inside (we once ordered McDonalds from Deos and the delivery guy even ran up the tiring hill and the steps just to deliver it to us – Yey McDo!), Deos also has a food menu, usually “pulutan” or finger foods with prices Php 50 above for alcohol accompaniment.
Personally, I think their fries have no taste, but their “kikiam” is quite delicious.

The huts used to be free as long as there’s drinks, but now, after being made into a “tambayan” (long hour hangouts) by the drinkers, Deos now charges Php50 for the first 3 hours and Php50 for each additional hour.

Deos is also a very cool place to hang for those who don’t bring mp3 players for music and drinking – the bar always plays great music – ready for partying and mini-dancing.
Deos may seem like a fun place to go to, but unfortunately, definitely not for those people who like to get dead drunk. Filled with young drinkers, the Hideout bar hasn’t been able to get ample security and safety assurance for their customers. The overlooking view may be breathtaking, but for the drunk, one step further may cost them their life. The hill that Deos mounts on doesn’t have protective rails nor does it ensure any safety that drinkers won’t fall down the hill.

Still, for those looking for a place to chill, Deos would be a good try, just make sure you don’t fall off the hill, do an egg roll down Deos or try any tumbling activities while drinking in the hideout bar.

As a start-up bar, Deos can only offer very limited service (the restroom isn’t the cleanest place) and sometimes, they don’t have ice.

Contact Deos at 0916-6708-580 or 0929-3000-957

Instructions to Deos Hideout Bar:

Commute:

From Cainta, take a jeep bearing Antipolo, Tanay. Go down a street away from Ynares Center until you see a bare, grassy lot next to a wide street going up. Make sure you can still see Ynares from where you went down or you would’ve gone too far. Don’t go near Unciano, or you have missed the place by a LOT. Just to be sure, ask around for Deos or Deogracias Resort.

From Tanay, you take a jeep to Cainta, Cubao, Crossing and go down just before Ynares Center.

When you go up the hill, you’ll pass by what looks like a garage and then Deogracias Resort. Deos is NOT Deogracias Resort. Walk up some more until you can see the overlooking view and spot Tip Top which is located at a higher location than Deos. Deos is on the right side, there’s a small banner with the name and a staircase leading to the bar.

Enjoy Deos!

I remember I was on a jeep. I don’t remember where I was coming from, but I was the only one left in the jeep. The jeep was just turning into a place where there were bridges connecting us, like the one we had in junction; only these bridges actually overpass a river or something like that. It was night and I was really peeved when suddenly, the jeep pushed to speed and aimed for the overpass. The jeep stopped almost at the edge, but it tipped over.

Scared, I looked over at the drivers (there were two in front) who seemed as if they knew what they were doing. The jeep tipped, but not enough and went right back down to proper position. I let out a sigh of relief. But I knew it wasn’t over yet. I wanted to get out of this crazed jeep before they kill me. Psychos. Suddenly, the jeep backed out and started to head for the other side of the overpass where there was another river; awaiting. I screamed as the jeep tipped again and to my fear and shock, I saw the two drivers lift a small boy from the front seat whom I didn’t see, and threw him out the window. In my dream, I could see myself wide eyed and jaw dropped.

They looked back at me and for a split of a second I thought I was next. I didn’t think anymore and raced out the jeep, hoping they wouldn’t be pulling a gun on me. I wasn’t ready to die yet. Behind me, I heard them shout, “Wait, where are you going? He’s useless anyway!”

And then the scene changed over to me at home on the internet. I felt people and then I looked out to see someone climbing over our terrace. I screamed “Magnanakaw!” (Thief) and turned on the light. Once the light was on, the men outside quickly ran down. I went downstairs to find my brother drinking. I asked him if he knew and he told me he called Ate Lyn (our guardian). Ate Lyn came in, and said she knew and they had run seeing her. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. What was happening?

Then the scene again, changed, to my family in the car with me and my sister was driving. I’m not sure where we were or what happened, but the roads were uneven, unfamiliar and dangerous as there were cliffs everywhere! Suddenly we crashed into another car. I can’t remember whose car it was, but I know it was someone I know in real life. Our car tumbled in the air and landed on the ground in what seems like a construction site. In my mind, in my dream, I could only think of my mother who was with us. I quickly pushed open the door and went out, returning to help my mother.
My cousin was with us and she had previously mentioned that there was a rumor that a jeep had thrown a boy down the overpass. Accidentally, I said it wasn’t a rumor and that I was the only witness to it. I told them not to tell anyone as they may be looking for me.
Soon, the nurse had arrived. I’m not sure why no other paramedic was there, but I can only remember the nurse who sat down in front of us and made us line up. I stood in front of my mother and opted to have her lean on my back. Her arm was bleeding and it looked as if it had died like that with Dumbledore’s hand in the Harry Potter movies. I panicked and asked the nurse why she wouldn’t just treat us and she replied, asking why she’d need to treat us. I said my mother could be in pain and pissed off, I let my mother use my arm as support for her arm.
I can still remember my fear that we’d get hit as my sister was so scared driving. I remember she was screaming because she didn’t know the way and was unfamiliar with the road and it seemed as if she couldn’t get the car to slow down. I remember the fear that someone was coming after me, whoever had thrown the boy down the overpass and was now onto me.

And then I woke up, lips dry, eyes wet and heart pounding.
