Litratong Pinoy: KAHEL

January22

Kaninang Hapon habang ako’y nag-go-grocery napansin kong marami palang produktong gumagamit ng kulay na Kahel para sa “packaging” ng mga ito.

ang dating isang oras kong pamamalagi para mag-grocery ay umabot sa 2 1/2 oras sa dami ng kinunan kong litrato… pero shempre namili na lang ako ng mga ipo-post dito sa aking blog.

HaPpY Hwebes mga kapwa ka-LP!!!

thankyou

The year has just started and already I feel that God is extra kind to me.Lavishing me with blessings big and small. One among which is getting a space on the internet and of course this would not have been possible without the help of Ronnie, who initiated, installed and gave free tutorials for a startup. Tenchooo

Yesterday, a televised Concert at the Park was my main event. That done, I am setting my sights on my forthcoming Graduation Recital.

I can never be thankful enough for my mom who is finishing with her sixth chemotherapy at the end of this month and showing all signs of good health and recovery.

And to the others who have entertained me, shared my high and low moments, stuck with me through thick and thin…a big big big THANK YOU!!!

And to God Almighty who is always with my family…Maraming Salamat po sa lahat ng biyaya.

Litratong Pinoy-ASUL

ulap

Kuha sa labas ng Bahay ng isang Paring binisita namin noon sa Vigan.

Noong bata-bata (naks…me ganun) pa ako, madalas akong tumingala sa langit at nagha-hanap ng mga anyo na nabubuo sa ulap. Sabi nila ang nakikita mong larawan ay depende sa ina-asahan mong makita o sa iyong kaisipan.

Madalas ang mga nakikita ko ay mga hugis ng dragon, aso, tao ngunit ang pinaka-gusto ko sa lahat ay kapag nakaka-kita ako ng hugis ng mukha ng Panginoong Hesus.

Where words fail…

January13

“Where words fail, music speaks” –Hans Christian Andersen

I’ve seen myself in countless situations where I find myself at a loss for words and would gladly revert to singing or humming a few songs to express myself.
Weird, I know but it works for me.

I can’t imagine myself without music. It comes to me so naturally that I can’t remember any instance wherein I had no music in my life. If I am not listening to it, I am creating one. There are times when I hear myself humming a tune and quickly notating the melody before it escapes me.

When I was in High School I remember being able to compose a song/jingle within 5 minutes or less. I was more of a composer than a piano player then…made numerous jingles, love songs, instrumentals etc. Though I am sure my friends remember me being a “composer” I think I am still and will be best remembered as the person who loves harmonization.
There was this one time when a friend of mine introduced me to one of her other friends and she went
“Hi this is Eloise, magaling sha mag second voice…o eto sample…psst lagyan mo nga ng second voice yung “A Friend Like Me” yung kanta ng genie sa Aladdin”

Ahahahaha…like that’ll sound good. Now, if that’s not proof enough…i don’t know what is.

been singing this song for a couple of days now…

Northern Downpour by Panic at the Disco

If all our life is but a dream
Fantastic posing greed
Then we should feed our jewelry to the sea
For diamonds do appear to be
Just like broken glass to me

And then she said she can’t believe
Genius only comes along
In storms of fabled foreign tongues
Tripping eyes, and flooded lungs
Northern downpour sends its love

Hey moon, please forget to fall down
Hey moon, don’t you go down

Sugarcane in the easy mornin’
Weathervanes my one and lonely

The ink is running toward the page
It’s chasin’ off the days
Look back at boat feet
And that winding knee
I missed your skin when you were east
You clicked your heels and wished for me

Through playful lips made of yarn
That fragile Capricorn
Unraveled words like moths upon old scarves
I know the world’s a broken bone
But melt your headaches, call it home

Hey moon, please forget to fall down
Hey moon, don’t you go down

Sugarcane in the easy mornin’
Weathervanes my one and lonely
[x3]

Sugarcane (hey moon) in
(Hey moon) the easy mornin’
Weathervanes (hey moon) my
(Hey moon) one and lonely

Sugarcane (hey moon) in (hey moon)
The easy (hey moon) mornin’
Weathervanes (hey moon) my (hey moon)
One (hey moon) and lonely

[Continues in background:]
Sugarcane (hey moon) in (hey moon)
The easy (hey moon) mornin’
Weathervanes (hey moon) my (hey moon)
One (hey moon) and lonely

Hey moon, please forget to fall down
Hey moon, don’t you go down
You are at the top of my lungs
Drawn to the ones who never yawn
[x2]

Resolutions

January9

I really don’t have any resolutions planned for this year. I thought I should just sail along and see how things go. But then, a nagging voice tells me, I need to plan my life. I need to stay focused. So here I am, thinking of what I really want to set out for my life. But for now, I’ll keep them to myself, okay?!

2008

January9

I’ve been meaning to write my reflections about 2008 for the past days…to no avail…ahahahaha


So here’s an attempt to summarize 2008…the year that was.

I started the year with an impromptu trip to Baguio with Melissa and Melvin, had a nondescript valentine’s day, and celebrated one of my best bud’s Graduation on March.

Second Quarter of the year was rough…just a tad bit (a lot of goodbyes)

1) One of my Best bud left for China (work)
2) A friend’s grandmother passed away
3) Learned that I have gallstones — gave me a 180 degree lifestyle change. I said goodbye to oily foods, meat, pork, fastfood, sweets, sodas…and hello to steamed and grilled chicken and fish

July ushered in the Third Quarter with some devastating news

–my mom who returned from Oman was diagnosed with breast cancer. Initially it was a shock to us but later, hope sprang eternal. The carcinoma was at its early stage and had a 100% chance of cure.
Consequently, my mom’s condition brought us spiritually and personally closer to each other, cherishing every moment of togetherness. Everyday was a day to be thankful that we were still together. And as the months eased by, the fears slowly slid away and healing comfort took over.

–as for school…everything has taken shape. I am on my way to graduation.

–work…was challenging and it was something I turned to for solace.

The Last Quarter of the year turned out to be some kind of a reunion for me and my buddies.

–it was a time to reconnect with old friends as well as make new friends.

–had my share of heartaches as well…hehehehe…learned that I’ve a dyslexic heart, but I was able to get through and move on with the help of my friends, coffee and spampy.

–and i ended the year with another road trip…this time to Ilocos with 2 of my friends. I Had a great time… :D

So…that’s it I guess…2008.

And now…I am ready to embrace 2009 bring it on!!!

Happy New Year to all!!!
