Cairo @ 10




Since it's my son, Cairo's birthday today, I'm giving you some trivia about him:



1. Cairo was diagnosed with a mild case of ADHD when he was 4. He is way better that before albeit he is still so makulit.



2. Cairo’s got two half sisters and one half brother care of his prodigal mom. Cairo’s technically the eldest. Wala pa sakin, promise!



3. Cairo’s a 5th grader now in a non-tradtional school somewhere in QC.



4. Cairo wants to be a doctor someday.



5. Cairo’s crushes are Miles Ocampo of Going Bulilit and a classmate named Athena. Cairo saved some money and bought Athena a gift for Christmas. I’m probably close to becoming a grandfather.Nooooooo son! A few days back, he also asked me kung pwede na daw cya mag ka GF. I almost fainted.



6. Cairo likes anything with soup (sinigang, sopas, nilaga), veggies [malunggay, toge, carrots, okra (ewlk!),ampalaya (double ewlk!)], tomato juice and kiwi fruit.



7. Cairo’s been to US (and Disneyland Florida) four times already. Doon siya nagbabakasyon together with his prodigal mom pag summer. He’s been to Canada, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia and Japan as well.



8. Cairo inherited the geekness in me. We both love reading the encyclopedia (we still have it), guinness book of world records, Ripley’s and atlas of the world. Cairo is also sarcastic at times and fond of making side comments, just like me.



9. Cairo's real name is Lemuel Cairo.



10. Cairo was born on December 22, 1999 (two days after my birthday) at 4:25 PM; 7.6 lbs. The nicest Christmas and post birthday gift I ever had, really.

Dear son,

You will always be dad's boy. I love you no matter what. I will always be here to protect you and guide you just stop asking me about the girlfriend thing, don't make me nervous.

I love you and daddy will always be proud of you! Happy Birthday!

Rants 001

Please allow me to rant...

Hindi ko pa rin maintindihan ang ugali ng mga pinoy na kung kelan last day ng registration sa election e dun duma dagsa ang mga tao. May sapat na panahon na ibinigay ng COMELEC for registration pero walang nagparehistro ng maaga, ang ending syempre kagulo at galit pa sila.

Wag kayong magalit dahil kasalanan nyo kung bakit nangyari yan. Mahilig kayo sa manana habit.

Natawa pa ako dun sa isang lalaking nagsalita sa TV Patrol, paano daw sila magiging simula ng pagbabago kung hindi sila rehistrado...paano ka magiging simula ng pag babago e hindi mo nga mabago yung manana habit mo, gago!

Now we know kung bakit hindi umaasenso ang Pilipinas. Sickening.


PS: Pananaw ko to, wala akong paki kung magagalit kayo dahil mas galit ako sa inyo.mga P&(%*_8*)^$#! nyo!

Mixed Nuts 006

Ang hirap mag aral, mag trabaho at mag perform ng family duties all at the same time. Been uber busy sa school kaka aral para sa final exams (as of this writing 2 exams down, two more to go and an almost finished research paper that needs an awful lot of editing dahil parang walang sense mga isinulat ko) plus some other stress inducing activities.




Nakaka stress grabe!



Speaking of stress. Napanood ko si Assunta (Eunice) sa Lovers in Paris. Dialogue nya:



Eunice: Nakaka stress as in capital S-T-R-E-S!

Eunice’s friend: “S”, Sis, double s ang stress!

Eunice: Ok, ok. Capital S-S-T-R-E-S!



Nagulantang lahat ng tao sa bahay sa lakas ng tawa ko. Akala nila sinapian ako ng masamang espiritu.



Ang part time na trabaho, ayun trabaho pa din at part time pa din. Trabaho dumagsa naman kayo! Magpapasko na, kawawa naman ang mga inaanak ko!



Spare the Filipino people, bagyong Ramil. Baka di na umubra ang salitang “resilience” sa mga pinoy!

Mixed Nuts 005

Ondoy aftermath: Baha pa rin sa amin till now, pero wala na sa loob ng bahay, sa labas, nasa binti pa. Nakakapagod maglinis ng bahay pero ok lang kasi feeling ko nabawasan ang timbang ko.Hahaha.Asa pa.

Mataas pa rin ang tubig sa cityhall up to palengke kaya naging instant palengke ang harap ng simbahan. Pabor sa amin kasi walking distance na lang kami sa improvised palengke.

Safe na yung highschool buddy ko from Vista Verde in Cainta. Lagpas tao ang baha sa bahay nila, buti na lang at may 2nd floor sila at roof top. Hindi nakaligtas si Tutay, ang kanyang car.

Bought some groceries na i-dodonate sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo. Highschool buddy asked me kung wala daw ba cyang relief goods since nasalanta din cya. I’ll be checking out some friends and relatives in Pinagbuhatan later to see if they’re OK.

Kung malungkot lahat, si Cairo masaya kasi first time nya naka lusong sa baha at gusto pa mag swimming.


No, no, no…facebook at friendster, di nyo pa ko maaakit. Twitter…medyo malapit na, sana pilitin ako ni Bianca Gonzales mag twitter (I read her twits!).


Food…some more recipes coming up: bulalo, sweet and sour pork etc….yum!


Miss: I miss school (see you soon UP & MWS). I miss my UP crush, angel.Hahaha.


Work: Overloaded na. Enough rest, kailangan ng kumita dahil mag papasko na! More projects please.


Wrath: Ang problema sa ibang tao mapag samantala at ganid. Ang daming nanakawan na mga bahay. May kalamidad na andami pa ring masasamang loob. Yung ibang tao na nag evacuate sa schools, sinira ang mga classrooms at ninakaw pa mga libro.Tsk, tsk, tsk. Yung ibang politicians naman, kailangan ba talaga may picture at dedication nyo pa ang mga relief goods?

May mga taong sadyang hindi nag iisip…parang epidemya, bilis makahawa.

Ondoy

Few more inches at papasok na ang tubig sa bahay namin. First time bumaha dito sa lugar namin. We're lucky may internet at electricity pa kami.



Dear Bro,
Please help us.
Lovelots,
Domjullian

Update – Since we felt that sooner, papasok na yung tubig sa bahay namin (as of 4 PM 09/26 almost hanggang tuhod na ang tubig sa labas ng bahay), dad decided na i-akyat na lahat ng gamit sa 2nd floor ng pa gibang bahay namin. Inuna naming yung mga vulnerable stuffs like the sofa, ref etc.

At 6 pm no more electricity and internet (opera mini, I love you!), but fortunately, may generator kami and all the techie stuffs are fully charged.

Leroy and I volunteered to watch over the flood. At 9 pm, less than 2 inches na lang so we both decided to start moving upstairs the rest of the things. 11 pm, flood reached our house. Ginising ng mommy ko lahat ng tao sa bahay and started to pray.

At 3 am, tumaas lalo ang tubig at fully submerged na ang buong bahay namin. Sa labas above the knee na ang tubig.

At 7 am, holly crap! Knee high na sa loob ng bahay namin at waist deep na sa labas. It’s a good thing we have enough supply of food, good for 3 more days.

Its now 11 am, I don’t feel good. I hope things will get better.

Mixed Nuts 004

Been busy this week, kakauwi ko lang galing Singapore-lah, may jetlag pa ata ako, nahihilo ako. Thank you Bro, nakalusot ulit kami sa project presentation, iba ka talaga! Malapit ko na ma master-lah ang pagsasalita-lah ng mga Singaporeans-lah!

School #1- UP- daming exams and requirements. Wala pa rin kami nabubuo sa project namin, sensya naman groupmates, malas nyo pinili nyo ako, promise babawi ako, ayoko din naman mag ka 4.0. Disapproved ang petition letter ko to credit two Statistics subjects I took for my 1st undergrad para sa Industrial Statistics subject na kailangan ko kunin next sem. Imbes na 6 units lang ako next sem, 9 units tuloy ako.Masama pa nun e math subject cya, crap math.

School #2- MWS - Sabi ni Cairo, tumubo na daw yung tinanim namin last week. Kailangan ko pumasok ng isang buong lingo sa school ni Cairo para makabawi. Di pa rin nag po progress yung ginaganchilyo ko, abstract pa rin hitsura nya.

Nilaglag na ni Lacson si Erap. Evil begets evil. Sit back, relax and watch, crescit eundo...

I was asked for my presidential bet, none so far, closest being Noynoy but he is too hilaw to be president.

Leroy recorded the episodes I missed during my Singapore hiatus. I’ll be watching it later, galing daw ni pande Coco Martin at ni Lola Gets!

Nasa amin ang Our Lady of Manaoag since Saturday night at required kami mag rosary for one week hanggang bukas. Ni request kasi ng mommy ko as thanksgiving for dad’s birthday tomorrow. Kabisado ko pa ang mga dasal sa rosary kahit sobrang tagal ko na hindi nag ro rosary.

Napapadalas ang day-off ni Rosalee, mukhang inlababo. Buti pa cya may lovelife.

I saw “angel” again sa UP last Monday, kaso kamalas malasan, naka talikod cya papasok sa classroom nila pero alam ko cya yun. Di ko cya nakita kanina.

Congrats sa UP kahit di champion ulit sa cheerdance – 3rd placer at may special award pa. Congrats too sa FEU (1st) and ADMU (2nd)! ADMU siguro mag cha champion sa basketball since laglag ang DLSU (sob, sob) sa final 4. Sana bigyan ng FEU or UE ng matinding laban ang ADMU

Lumaki na yung stocks na ininvest ko.Yehey! Konti na lang mapapasama na ko sa Forbes’ Richest.Hehe.
