The Old and the Dead

The grandmother of my best friend just died.

She had been suffering from cancer for a long time.

May you rest in peace Lola Rosalia.

We came in and you ask "Have you kids eaten?"
We answered "Yes Lola we're full, we'll just proceed upstairs and play the guitar"
"You sure you're not hungry?"
"Yes Lola thank you for asking"
and she flashed that sweet smile typical of old fellows and sat quietly on the dining table as we ran upstairs.

That is how we remember Lola Rosalia always the sweet woman with the high pitched rose colored dress.

We'll miss you.

I went mountainbiking with my best friend last tuesday and went up what mountainbikers calls "the wall" it is called as such because you are literally climbing a wall that my front front wheel goes up whenever i pedal. I forgot if it's 45 degrees or 60 at that the slope that the wall offers.

anyway it's four kilometers up minus the trip to the place and the ride to my best-friends cousins place.

Up and up we went and all I can hear is my heartbeat and the wind on my back.

We had to stop three times before I got to be able to get on top. But wait there's more! (ala TV home shopping) when we got on top which is timberland (a mountain village being developed by the lopezes) we stil climbed up to its highest peak which would eventually lead us to the trail! (Sounds of lightning) yes that's where the trail would really start. But we weren't able to ride it because its getting dark.

The upward climb went around an hour while the ride down only took about 15 mins! and by the way lots of bikers died on the way down because of the steepness and eventual winding of the road.

I'm more than willing to go back there.

kagabi nanaginip ako! hinahabol daw kami ng mga zombies ala 28 days later!potek lahat na ata tinaguan ko sa panaginip na yun until lahat ng kasama ko napatay na at nakagat at naging zombie!

Sobrang labo ng panaginip na yun na kahit sa pag gising ko iniisip ko pa rin kung san ako pwede magtago at sino ang pwedeng mag survive dun.

yung naalala ko nagtago na lang ako sa ilalim ng kumot na nakatambay sa isang sulok at nagpaka "bahala na kung kakainin ako ewan" mode!

hehehe creepy pero nakakatawa yung panaginip para kasing totoo hmm gusto ko ngang mapanaginipan ulit eh ala part two para malaman ko talaga kung buhay ako o hindi kasi nung nagtago nako sa kumot eh nagising nako. syet!

on pulitika naman...

Di ko maintindihan bakit ngayon lang na nag abutan ng pera sa Malakanyang tsaka umaangal ang mga congressman at sinasabing may bribery na naganap.

Have to admit naging isa nako sa mga nagiging unti unting desensitized at indifferent sa mga nangyayari sa paligid.

Parang resigned na ko sa idea na walang mangyayari sa bansang ito hanggat walang namamatay na kurakot at gago.

If kailangan dumanak ang dugo then go! Ilang taon na bang andami dami nilang ginugutom at pinapaalis ng bansa... nakakasawa na nakakapagod... manonood na lang ako ng pinoy big brother nang makita ang hiyas ni riza santos at gabby de la merced raawwwrrr nyahahaha!!!!

I just learned na di pala totoo yung kwento about the ten datus from borneo na umalis ng bansa nila at napadpad sa pinas. napasnood ko sa Qtv yung mga listahan ng mga hoax's sa philippine history.

Potek 27 nako ngayon ko lang nalaman to eh tuwang tuwa pa kaya ako sa ideya na galing tayo sa mga dugong bughaw (ehem excuse me hindi ateneo ha!) but heniweys sabi nung TV show inimbento lang daw yun ng isang historian at the behest of then pinaka-inutil na presidente sa pilipinas kung san pinaglihi si Gloria Macapagal Arroyo si Marcos (uhmm sino pa ba?)

Para daw magkaron tayo ng sense of history... Jusme mas matutuwa pako sa history ng mga negrito na totoong nauna sa ating lahat bago pa dumating yung mga rapist na kastila na nilapastangan ang maliliit na butas ng mga natives (uhmm medyo green siya sowee)

so yun na yun 20 years din akong na denggoy ng history teacher ko haay pakshet!
