sir, i tender my resignation effective this minute - yes now na!


WORKING IN MANILA for almost two years is an adventure for me. Really! Damu guid ko nabal-an nga routes pakadto terminal 3 - some routes would cause you another ticket kay nabayaan ka na ng plane and for a super saver - sakay ka jeep (galing dapat aga pa guid ka kay malibot-libot pa na kun diin-diin, at least ka-sight seeing ka! :D) I will also miss eating/drinking TAHO for my breakfast on my way to the office. Although I would really love to stay longer kay ma-lagaw pa ko tani around Luzon, I think I have to leave and return in Bacolod na. Hard decision to make really, pero I'll take the risk of accepting a job offer with eyes wide shut (pati mouth na rin!) but I think I will survive naman as I'm with my family - indi man ko guro nila pabay-an kag pagut-man, right? (ka-over sa akun ah!) haha.. Will be missing heavy traffics, emily, dona, maricon and our escapades, weekend imax viewing with agnes, dharl & company and my pasaway na cousins.

Another chapter of my life is about to end and I can't wait for the new one to start. Back to the hassle-free streets (sometimes) of Bacolod! Back to my sabad-sabad but lovable family, friends and gangster!

Thank you God! You've been so generous guid in my life. LIFE'S LIKE THAT - people come and go, good and bad things never lasts - we just have to be thankful and enjoy very moment of it until our supplies of breath lasts kag go go go guid - nd mahadluk sa dulom (kay may kilala ko grownup na hadluk japun sa dulom - la lang! hakhakhak..)

P.S. While this entry is being made - Splender's 'I think God can explain' plays in the background - swak na swak no? :P

my favorite books

Thursday, March 1, 2007

Back in highschool, I had this particular... uhm... fondness(?) with the works of Christopher Pike, which real name is Kevin Christopher McFadden. Up to now, I still don't know anything about this writer.
Well, it was my cousin Ging who introduced me to the world of reading gory, mystery, supernatural, thriller, spine-chilling and the likes literatures - thanks to you cuz for the sleepless nights and wild imagination I now have, nevertheless - I love you! Anyway, I just want her to know that - and one more! I miss her, I always do kahit we're not that super connect now. Hehehe... we'll work on that someday. We should.
Back to my topic. I have surfed the net about him just recently but still nothing come out of him Well, I really haven't made an effort to reach or even write him a letter anyway so maybe that's why I never had an inkling about him - yeah, right! Maybe I should! asus, nano man ko man?! Question is, will he write back? The man's a millionaire with lots of grammars, punctuations, subjects, predicates, verbs, nouns, adverbs, adjectives, etc. going about in his head for another book. He might be busy. Hehehe... here I am talking to myself - because no one would talk to me - not even my beh because he don't know a thing about him or even interested in reading one.
If anyone can read this and know something about this writer, could you please prove his existence?! hehehe... joke!
Books I've read that of C. Pike's: bury me deep, die softly, eternal enemy, fall into darkness, gimme a kiss, the immortal, last act, the lost mind, monster, road to nowhere, scavenger's hunt, sati, see you later, spellbound, the star group, the starlight crystal, whisper of death, the wicked heart, witch, the final friends trilogy (courtesy of ewa, my busmate and classmate for a while) and finally, remember me and the midnight club as my favorites.
Actually, I've read these all so long ago and would like to read it all again to see if my preferences or what I think about his books change. I am now for Dean Koontz, Patricia Cornwell, Harlan Coben, uhm... I also read romantic novel like that of Danielle Steele and the likes.
Lastly, the book that everyone should read is the book of the Bible. Oh no, I don't want to sound so goody goody here or anything 'coz I'm not. Honestly, I've read the whole book the first time and just remember things like that of the stories of Moses, Joseph, David, Solomon, when Jesus was born and risen, and some important points I apply in my life. It really has interesting stories to tell and teach to all of us. God is the greatest author of all, anyway. He is the author of the whole wide universe. The author of our faith.
