9 Things I Hate About Everyone - Not Necessarily as You

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the
time…. I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do
I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search
the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to
the T.V. and change the channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and
eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can’t eat it?

4. When people say "it’s always the last place you look".
Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you’ve
found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick
their asses!

5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I
paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?"…. Didn’t really give me a
choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is ‘new and improved!’. Which is it? If
it’s new, then there has never been anything before it. If it’s an
improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn’t be new.

8. When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is
the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that’s
longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has
the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

Sigarilyong di maubos

(ninenok ko ang ideya kay eric)

Kahit takot akong magyosi dahil baka mangalawang ang bagong kabit na
alambre sa ngipin ko nagyosi pa rin ako. Hindi ko mapigil eh
magdadalawang linggo na kaya akong hindi nakakahithit ng nikotina.

Hindi naman ako chain smoker. Nagkaroon lang ng panahon na pag
nakaharap ako sa kompyuter ilang sunud-sunod na sindi ng yosi ang
ginagawa ko. Ewan ko kung naamoy ako sa kabilang kwarto pero keber ko
ba. Madalas naman ay tulog na sila sa kabila pag nagkokompyuter ako.

Hindi ko alam kung nakikita ba ng nanay ko iyong mga upos ng
sigarilyo sa may bubungan sa labas ng kwarto ko. Hindi ko rin alam kung
nagtatanong ba siya sa sarili kung kanino ang mga upos na iyon kung
sakali ngang nakita niya ang mga basurang iyon. Doon ko lang tinatapon
yung mga pinagupusan ko kapag tinatamad akong lumabas ng kwarto.

Pero noong minsan, kandarapa ako akong umakyat ng bubungan ng
katabing bahay na may dalang walis at pandakot. Kinakabahan na rin ako
e, baka mamaya pagsimulan na naman ng isang mahaba-habang litanya na
hindi mo alam kung saan matutuldukan.

Isang Imbitasyon

    “If you would be a reader, read; if a writer,write”

Makikita ang mga katagang ito sa pagpapakilala ng isang bagong komunidad na binuo ng mga bloggers o manunulat na kinakitaan ng disiplina sa pagsasalaysay, kwento o tula.

Ilang araw na akong naglilibo’t sa mga kaibigang blogger na mayroong angking talino sa pagsusulat upang manghimok/manghikayat na ibigay ang kaunting panahon upang lumahok at mag-ambag ng piling pyesa ng kanilang literatura.

Para sa akin isa itong magandang panimula sa paghuhulma ng talento/kakayahan ng mga bagong usbong na manunulat/artista ng malikhaing sining. Dito itatakda ng isang indibidwal  na mapa-unlad ang kanyang sarili sa larangan ng literatura.

Inaanyayahan ko kasama na ng mga iba pang myembro ang iba pa na blagerista at hindi blagerista na lumahok at magpa-usbong ng bagong mukha ng literatura sa pamamagitan ng pagbablog.

Ang Pinoy Underground ay ang pinagsama-samang malayang kamalayan ng mga manunulat at gustong maging manunulat.

Maari kayong mag rehistro upang makakuha ng username at password, at makaasa po kayong sama-sama tayong magpapalago sa iisang interes at iyan ay ang pagsusulat.

ang paligid na kinakatakutan ko

Taliwas sa madalas sabihin ni nanay na kinatatakutan ko ang boses ni tatay sa tuwing nalalasing siya, mayroon akong dalawang bagay na talagang kinatatakutan sa murang edad.

Ang una ay yung araw-araw kong nakikita sa isa sa mga pahina ng aking textbook sa ingles noong elementarya.  May ilustrasyon ito ng isang napakalaking sawa na hinahabol ang buwan sa kalangitan.

Sa istorya sa libro, darating ang panahon na  kakainin ng malaking sawa ang buwan, at pag nangyari yun, mawawalan na ng tanglaw sa gabi, magdidilim at maari na itong maging hudyat ng pagkagunaw ng mundo.  Takot na takot ako sa ideya, sino bang pitong taong gulang ang hindi manghihilakbot sa isiping ang mundo na siyang ginagalawan ko ay hindi permanente, maari itong magunaw at mawala sa kalawakan dahil sa isang malaking sawa.

Hindi ko alam kung totoo yung kwento, pero ang alam ko ay yung mumunting pagtatanong sa isip ko na bakit parang ang paaralang nagbigay ng textbook na yun ay tila ba nananakot sa murang isipan ko.

pyesta

Paano mo iisnabin ang isang malaking pyestahan? at paano mo ipagwawalang bahalang daluhan ang bahay ng may pinakamaraming handa kung madalas kang kalamin ng sikmura?

yun nga lang ang isang pyesta, umaapaw man ang handa ay pansamantala lang naman ang hatid na kabusugan at pang-alis uhaw

pagkatapos ng pyesta uhaw ka na naman….gutom ka na naman…

maghihintay ka na naman ng isa pang malaking pyesta…..

sana lang sa susunod na pyesta may bagong putahe
na makakasagot sa napakahabang panahon ng tag-gutom

para hindi ka na magmumukhang timawa pag walang pyesta

para hindi ka na magmumukhang hilong talilong sa katatanong kung saan ulit may pyesta

para hindi ka na magtatanong kung sino ba ang may pinakamasarap at pinakamaraming handa pag may pyesta

para hindi ka na aasa pa sa susunod na pyesta

Nasaan na nga ba ang lapis

Isa sa paulit-ulit na kinukwento ni nanay
sa akin ay noong nagsisimula pa lang ako sa unang baitang sa
elementarya. Hawak ang lapis at papel nagtatanong daw ako kay nanay
kung paano nga ba isulat ang isang letra sa abakada. Medyo naiinis na
ata si nanay dahil ilang beses na daw sa akin itinuro ay hindi ko pa
rin makuha.

Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at sinulat ang isang letrang iyon sabay sabing “ganito o ganito ganito!”

Mukhang may sayad

haPagkatapos kong umikot-ikot sa mall na malapit dito sa bahay ay
nagpasya na akong umakyat sa taas at maghintay na lang kay Shernane sa
labas ng study center nila. Umupo ako sa isang dulo ng hagdanan.
Nilabas yung binabasa kong Eleven Minutes ni Paulo Coelho, sinimulan
kong basahin, maya-maya may nakita akong isang salita na hindi ko alam
ang ibig sabihin.

Sinulat ko iyon, ang sabi ko hahanapin ko yung meaning sa dictionary
pagdating sa bahay. Maya-maya nakaisip ako ng ilang mga salita nag
ginawa kong patula. Kinuha ko yung pilot sign pen sa bag ko pati na ang
dala-dala kong notebook, ewan ko basta bigla ko naisip na magdala ng
notebook. Isang oras at kahalati kasi akong maghihintay kay Enane sa
labas ng klase e, sabi ko baka makaisip magsulat e di me masusulatan
ako.

Sinulat ko na yung mga nasa isip ko.  Hindi pa ako nakuntento, gumawa na rin ako ng pwede kong maiblog sa tingin ko.

Yung kaninang libro na binabasa ko e nasa mga hita ko na, habang
patuloy akong nagsusulat. Medyo nga lang na-iistorbo nung tatlong babae
sa kabilang dulo ng hagdanan yung pag-iisip ko. Hindi ko maintindihan
yung mga salita nila pero mukha naman silang mga pinoy. Hindi naman
ilokano pero parang hindi naman bisaya. Mas lalong hindi Malay dahil sa
halos dalawang taon ko dito, alam ko na ang salitang malay. At mas
lalong hindi Mandarin na palasak na ginagamit ng mga tsekwa dito. Hindi
rin Tamil.

Yung lakas ng usapan nila e talagang nakakadiskaril sa “konsenstrasyon” ko.

Nilibot ko ang mga mata ko. Iba’t ibang race ng tao ang nakikita ko,
palagay ko nag-aantay din sa mga batang lalabas sa study center ang mga
ito. Magtataka pa ba ako kung bakit iba-iba ang itsura namin dito e
kaya nga tinawag itong multi-racial na lupain. Karamihan sa kanila ay
nakatingin sa akin. Baka nagtatanong sa isip kung ano ang ginagawa ko
dahil hindi naman ako mukhang estudyante pero eto me hawak akong libro,
notebook at pen.

Maya-maya bigla ko naisip yung isang eksena na matagal ko ng nakita.
Kasa-kasama ako ni nanay noon sa pagtitinda sa bangketa doon sa
kahabaan ng Ongpin. May isang lalaki na halos doon na nakatira sa
bangketang iyon kasama pa ng iba niyang mga kababayan galing Bicol.
Doon sila natutulog sa gabi, at nagtatrabaho sa umaga. Karamihan sa
kanila ang trabaho ay pedicab boy, ang iba naman ay sa ginagawang
building sa di kalayuan.

Yung lalaking iyon, madalas ko siyang mapagmasdan na me hawak ng
libro, papel at ballpen. Nagbabasa, nagsusulat at nag-iisip. Mukha
naman siyang nagbabasa dahil nakikita kong nililipat niya ang mga
pahina ng libro. Nakikita ko rin siyang nagsusulat. Pero di ko alam
kung nag-iisip nga siya o meron talaga siyang iniisip sa itsura niya na
tila ba nag-eexam sa isang silid aralan.

Ang sabi ng mga kasamahan niya, may sayad daw yung lalaki.  Iniwan daw ng asawa noong mga panahon na wala siyang trabaho.

Yung eksenang iyon na nakita ko matagal na panahon na. At ang eksena
ko ngayon habang nililibot ko ang tingin ko sa mga tao sa paligid ko.
Iniisip ko….may sayad na rin kaya ako?

Pero teka……hindi ako iniwan ng asawa ha!!

Lunch monitor tells student his eating habits are ‘disgusting’

Luc (right) eats in traditional Filipino fashion, with a spoon and fork, as his mother Maria Gallardo and sister Hannah look on. The seven-year-old says his school’s lunch monitor calls the habit ‘disgusting’ and has punished him for it.

Filipino table etiquette punished at local school

Lunch monitor tells student his eating habits are ‘disgusting’

BY ANDY BLATCHFORD
The Chronicle

A Roxboro woman has filed a formal complaint with a local school board after her son was disciplined by a lunch program monitor at Ecole Lalande for eating in what she says is a customary Filipino manner.

Luc Cagadoc’s table behaviour is traditionally Filipino; he fills his spoon by pushing the food on his plate with a fork, his mother, Maria Theresa Gallardo, says.

But after being punished by his school’s lunch program monitor more than 10 times this year for his mealtime conduct — including his technique — the seven-year-old told Gallardo said last week that he was too embarrassed to eat his dinner.

"Mommy, I don’t want to eat anymore," Gallardo says Luc told her at the kitchen table April 11. "My teacher is telling me that eating with a spoon and fork is yucky and disgusting."

When he eats with both a spoon and fork, instead of only one utensil, the Grade 2 student said the lunch monitor moves him to a table to sit by himself.

Upset over Luc’s story, Gallardo confronted the lunchtime caregiver the next day and on April 13, she telephoned the school’s principal, Normand Bergeron. His reaction brought her to tears, she says. "His response was shocking to me," Gallardo, who moved to Montreal from the Philippines in 1999, told The Chronicle. "He said, ‘Madame, you are in Canada. Here in Canada you should eat the way Canadians eat.’

"I find it very prejudiced and it’s racist. He’s supposed to be acting like a professional. This is supposed to be a free country with free expressions of culture and religion. This is how we eat; we eat with a fork and spoon."

Luc’s father, Aldrin Cagadoc, was also surprised by the comment. "I can’t believe even the principal would say that," he said. "A person of that calibre, I wouldn’t expect him to say that."

Gallardo, who operates a day care out of her Roxboro home and is close to completing her studies in early childhood education, wrote a letter last week and lodged a formal complaint to the Commission scolaire Marguerite Bourgeoys (CSMB) yesterday.

She disagrees with the lunch monitor’s approach to teaching children how to eat and says it is emotionally abusive to Luc. When she questioned Bergeron about punishing students for their table habits, she says he replied that, "If your son eats like a pig he has to go to another table because this is the way we do it and how we’re going to do it every time."

But Bergeron says it was Luc’s eating technique combined with his behaviour at the table that was inappropriate that day, which is why he was moved. "Luc can be turbulent," he said yesterday. "Like other children, he is frequently in situations where we have to intervene. It’s normal, he’s a child. He is in a period of learning."

The principal of the 387-student Roxboro school said he explained his position on using two utensils to Gallardo during their telephone conversation. "I said, ‘Here, this is not the manner in which we eat.’

"I don’t necessarily want students to eat with one hand or with only one instrument, I want them to eat intelligently at the table," he said. "I want them to eat correctly with respect for others who are eating with them. That’s all I ask. Personally, I don’t have any problems with it, but it is not the way you see people eat every day. I have never seen somebody eat with a spoon and a fork at the same time."

CSMB spokesman Brigitte Gauvreau says the board will not comment — due to confidentiality procedures — until Gallardo’s complaint is filed and she makes a public statement.
