Proud to be Bisaya

this blog is not made to compare Tagalog or Bisaya. If you're affected in anyway about this blog, please tell me. feel free to comment. :)

Mag blog ko karon nga gamit ang bisaya? Ngano man? Kay bisaya man ko. Kung basahon nimo ang akoang mga posts, English tanan. Wala ka mabasa nga bisaya. Kung magbasa pud ko sa blog sa uban bisaya, parehas ra diay japun mi, English ang prime nga ginagamit. Ang isa pa ka reason ngano gigamit nako ang bisaya kay ayha pa nako na.realize ka swerte diay ko nga kabalo ko ani. Nganu naka.ingun man ko ani?

Tistingi daw, adtu ka ug Manila. Ang mga tao didtpo ang inisturyahan Tagalog. Kabalo man ko nga kabalo pud ta ug Tagalog  mao nang kung muadto ta didto, grabeh kayo ta managalog. Dili ta nila malibak-libak nga basta-basta lang kay kung madunggan nato, makasabot man ta. Kung mupalit ta, maskig usahay dili mao ang gaka.sulti, okay ra japun.

Dawbi kung muanhi ang usa ka Tagalog sa lugar nga bisaya and dialekto? Makasabot kaha siya? Dili diba? Ang mga bisaya tawun, mag.tinagalug aron makasabot ang Taglog nga bisita. Ang kalain pa jud ana, ang uban bisaya kuhaon ang chance nga libakon ang bisita. Amina na gud oi nga in.ana pud ta usahay. Basta nay bisita nga dili kasabot, bahalag musinggit pa ka, dili lang japun na kasabot.

Tan.awa unsa ta kaswerte mga bisaya nga kabalo ta ug Tagalog ug bisaya? 

Loner Much?

For 14 years, I found out that I have other personalities. I am an only child and being one, it’s up to me to know who is the true me. At school, you may see me as someone who is gabby. You may think that I just want to talk all the time, like nonstop talking 24/7. However, you’re wrong. And that’s what I’m gonna share about today, the other side of me. My other personality.

I love sitting at the back, near the wall. Where no one can disturb me when I’m serious. Wonder why? Because I’m a loner. Crazy thought from me huh? From someone who’s known to be talkative since kindergarten. Accept it or not, I’m a loner.

Only child meant that I don’t have any brother or sister. I grew up in the city with most of the family in my father’s side (my mother’s are in Bukidnon). And for my whole growing up time, I’m always the youngest at home. Even though my aunt and uncle plays with me sometimes, I always want to play with the other children of my age. But, incidentally, my grandmother won’t let me play outside the house because she thought that some children could influence me in a bad way or another. So that means that I’m stuck in the house doing my own thing.

What do I do alone? When we still live at Lapasan, our house is two-storey. Usually, my grandmother would buy me paper-dolls. I would position myself in front of TV and start making my own story. Cornetto in plastic cups were famous then. My grandma and I love Cornetto so we would always buy and take it home. Those empty Cornetto cups serves as the houses of my paper dolls. I have tons of paper dolls, paper dresses and Cornetto cups. As a child, this simple play of story making and house is my own personal entertainment.

There are times that I get tired of playing dolls, I switch my attention to TV. I always love music so when I’m alone, I sometimes turn the channel into MYX. Britney Spears was popular and I love the beat of her music. I would stand at the benches and dance to my heart’s content. If I get tired, I would sit and sing with the singers. My voice won’t matter is if it’s nice or not, as long as I can express myself more.

When I was in Grade 2 or 3, we transferred here in Tablon, my current home. The same at Lapasan, I’m not allowed to go out. So it feels like I’ll play with myself then. My attention shifted to acting. So from paper dolls to acting. In our living room, there is a space fit for me to act. My family members won’t mind me trying to cry there and saying some dialogues. They got used to it.

After some time, I started to get embarrassed acting where my family could see me. That’s when I started to stay long hours in the room. I would stay there, act. And when I say act in the room, I say acting alone. I’m an only child remember? I’m like having a monologue, talking to thin air and touching nothing but space.

When I get tired of acting, I would transform myself into something else. I don’t know. I just lay flat on the bed, close my eyes then imagine. I always imagine myself in the theatre. I hate to admit it but I really envy those people who act in the theatre, where people claps at them and tossing to them flowers. And when I wake up in my imagination, stare at the wood in front of deciding what next thing should I do.

What I wrote above are my childhood experiences. What is it’s connection of me being a loner? Simple. Because of this, I learned to keep my problems for myself. That there are times that I don’t want to interact to people.

Put me inside a room, give me my netbook (notebook), books, pens and paper, coloring materials and everything that I need to survive, leave me foe a year and you may still see me as something the same after. That’s because I learned to depend on myself in times of needs. When I have problems at home or at school, rarely will you hear me telling my parents or anyone in my family about it.

So the next time I look pretty serious, you can approach me but in a subtle manner. Don’t approach me saying, “Hoy, naunsa man ka?” or “Pag-istorya pud diha. Hilom kayo ka”. Cause there are really times when I will just look at you and glare. 

Immaturity

I’ve been very immature. As I was just searching through my saved files form the first year, I saw a letter that I made. It turned out to be something that I wrote for our Filipino assignment. Weird, I still have that one. The truth is, this letter was never printed. Thank god it wasn’t. Whew !!

When I look back from being a freshman, I still smile. I’ve done so many things that. Things that made me look immature and innocent. Well, the second word is more like an underestimation. Let me put it to this, a word that could describe me as someone who just wanna have fun yet do it in an immature way. Getz?

Some of the examples that I can give to you are these:

• When my crush or one of my barkada’s crush pass by, we usually nudge each other which just meant that letting the crush know we’re crushing him!
• Since our classroom is in the first floor, every PE time of our crushes, we call them by name then hide where no one can see us.
• Tell someone about the name of our crush and ask them not to tell anyone. However, it ended up the whole class knowing.
• Pretending taking pictures using your phone but the truth is, you’re just taking the picture of your crush.
• Writing silly letters and asking your teacher to give it to your crush.

As you can see, my examples are about crushes. Yes it is! Haha, these are the examples that I can first think of when talking about freshman life. Haha =))

Mass Acolyte

I copied this post from my old blog site. I suddenly remembered that I once served for a high mass at our school . I served the high mass last January 8, 2010. First high mass for the new year at school. :)

Yesterday, it was my first time to serve in a high mass. The day before, we practiced the proper way of serving. I never thought it would be tiring. Whew.

*fast forward*

On the day, I was really nervous. What if I would forget all the things that we practiced ? Hmm… So I already wore the sutana, the white clothes tha you were when serving. I felt really hot and want to get a fan. But I stopped myself and just held it til after the mass.

I thought serving mass was very difficult. I was wrong, it was fun. My first thought of joining Berchman’s Society was to serve mass and now I did ! I`m so fulfilled !

Best Christmas Party Ever

I was looking in my old blog site and saw this entry of mine. I suddenly remembered our Christmas Party. I just want to share it here so that other people could also read it . 


Our Christmas party happened last December 19. 2010.  :)

Yesterday, we had our Christmas Party. There was just about half of the class that joined. We really thought that it would turn out bad, BORING . But no ! It was really fun !!

we first had the eating part. We ate the cakes first. There were many drinks (softdrinks to be exact) and just few viands. Okay, so after that, we thought :”okay, so what now?”. We just talked and talked. Then our moderator told us that we’ll had a game.

Okay, a game, We sat and formed a circle. I don’t know the name of the game but it has something to do with hankies .  well. the rule is simple, if the two hankies would be with the same person at once, then there would be a consequence. WE passed the hankies as fast as we can coz we don’t want to be the one to be given the consequence  .

We had another game which we did and ran around the building. We were dead tired of running and when we were in the second floor, many sat in the floor, sweating. We just then went back to the classroom and continued that game. Because it’s a game of chasing you’re opponent, many tripped and injured (not so critical).

So, it’s not yet over. WE still had another game, truth or dare. Some were dared to kiss the cheeks, dance and  do some crazy stuffs. So these things were done out of fun.

whooh !! we ended at about 7 pm! It was really nice and fun !!

My classmate told me this, “Maskig kita ang pinaka-walay ayu nga klase, pero kita ang pinakalingaw”

She meant that even though we fail, we’re the most fun class you want to be with 

WHOOH ! ! 3- St. Paul MIKI !!

This is the best Christmas Party that I had for three years

Ask me anything

Self-Confidence: The Other Side of Me

I'm used to it. Ever since I was a child, I always do it. I used to pretend that I'm some kind of a spy or an undercover agent. The cloth hangers would be my gun and the rooms would be my hideout. Thinking about this now, I can say that I'm so pathetic. Doing this? Gosh, so childish.

Up to date, believe it or not, I still do it. Not pretending to be a spy or an undercover agent, but pretending to be someone else I want to be. I sing in our room, yes, I've always do. My friends outside the school told me I have a nice voice. I don't care, even if I take that as a compliment, the shallow me would think it's not true. No one seemed to know the true me, not even my family. Since I was child, I've always been asked to perform in front of the elders. Of course, I would do it, especially if there's a money after. I would sing and dance in front of them. How I love to do it.

When I was in grade 1, we had a dance presentation. It was a Hawaiian dance. I was thrilled of course. My problem was I wasn't that good. Our teacher/trainer would tell me to do it better or my steps are not the same as the others. I learned fast. Unexpectedly, I was chosen to be in the front row of the dancers. The spot on which only the best of our group would be, and I was there.

Then that was that. Up to Grade 3, whenever there gatherings, they would always ask me to perform in front. I would oblige of course, it's one thing I love doing, until I reached grade 4. This was the time when my self-confidence actually went down. Drained. I don't want to perform in the front anymore. I feel embarrassed when people would ask me to perform in front. For me, it was a turning point. Before Grade 4, I thought I knew what I want. A performer.

We had a group work at that time when I was in grade 4. We need to act a scene in which Sisa tries to save Basilio from the Spanish Civil Guards. I was chosen to be Sisa. I tried to act the role and love it. I felt like acting is good. Being someone you aren't are. When I arrived home, I tried to practice to be perfect. I got it. The day of the presentation, it was awesome. A tear fell out of my eye while I was acting. Performance-level. Starting from that point up to Grade 6, I started to build my self-confidence again.

First year came and it was a pretty hard downfall for me, and for my confidence. It just fade away like 'poof'. I never thought why that happened but it did affect me. When I was in elementary, I used to be one of the top. The one that many people in my batch knows me. But now, I felt like I can't do anything. Even to perform on the stage with my classmates is a big deal for me.

Second year, thankfully, I slowly regained my confidence. Thank God, it did help me in my studies and how I deal with people. Performing onstage is not a problem anymore. I know that I'm with some people on which can help me better, and have higher self-confidence.

I thought this won't change but downfall again, third year. I lost my self-confidence...again. I didn't know why, the same as first year. It just happened. I have to keep my confidence up. I can't live like this. I have to do something.

Now, I'll be in fourth year. The year on which shyness won't work. I'll be one year away from college then. College takes too much confidence for me to survive. Shyness? Nah, I hope it will fade. I want my confidence back. Like I was still a child. Not shy in front of everyone.

PS: Until now, I still want to be a performer, Theatre Actress to be exact. :) Just a hopeful dream!

OPM or P-pop

I’m a fan of Yes to OPM! No to P-POP in facebook. My reason? I like OPM more. What’s the difference of these two terms? Even though they are said to be thee genres of Philippine Music, they have different meanings.

the meanings below are my own meanings. please don’t hate me

OPM (Original Pilipino Music / Original Filipino Music)- this is the main classification of music here in the Philippines. If you’ve heard many classical Filipino songs, you can say that it’s unique. Until now, when I listen to Filipino songs, I still feel it’s uniqueness. This has always been the trademark of Filipino music.

P-Pop (Philippine Pop)- ever heard of k-pop, j-pop or t-pop? This is said to be the Philippine’s version, P-pop. If you’ve listened to the Pop Girls’ Crazy Crazy, you could really say that they kinda copied the style of korean music videos. In short, P-pop is just copied from k-pop, no originality.

So you see, if we want the Filipino music to be known in the world, it would be because it’s unique and not because we copied the style of the other country’s style of music,

(this is my opinion. hate me for this but I still want OPM!)

Addiction

Summer, not what I actually expected it to be. I'm like bored here in our house. All I did was to surf the internet. Let me tell you something, if you start it, you'll be hooked up.
I never thought that I could be an internet addict. Yes, that's how I refer myself now. Everyday for me is not complete when I can't be with the internet. I just do some random stuff like surfing and registering in almost anything that I think is 'cool'. Now don't get me wrong, i'm not the kind of addict that sleep 12 midnight and wake up early in the morning just to look at the internet. I just stay online for about three hours (more than actually :] ) then go the room. After some time, I go online again for more hours.
Today, I'm trying to stop it but just can't. I just want to watch TV (probably new addiction) or enjoy reading a book (or e-book). Can someone possibly help me? Puh-lease people!!

E-book and Book

I just found out that books are pretty pricey. I've owned books that cost more than 700 pesos but I just thought that it was 'not pricey'. But now, my eyes were opened, where the hell is that book?
When I went to a bookstore, I saw many books there. (duh!!) many of those were very intresting to read. Since I have 200 pesos in hand, I decided to buy one book. There's this book which really stood out of all. I've read the synopsis and it was awesome. I checked the price: P350. Gosh! That's more than my budget. I put the book down feeling disappointed. How come books are these pricey? I looked for cheaper ones and found one, it's just P99. The problem is, I wasn't interested on it's plot. Sadly, I went out of the bookstore.
When I arrived home, I instantly turned on the netbook and connected to the internet. I googled the book and found PDF files for it. I tried downloading it but it turned out that I have to pay a certain amount. Geez, something I did not expect to happen. I looked for more and found a site on whch I could download it for free. But wait, I still have to register. Good thing, there's nothing I should worry about because it's free (except if you want premium but I'm not interested). YES!! Now I have the e-book (PDF file).
I should have known, e-book cost me nothing! In contrast to the paperback and hard-bound books, e-books are easy to store. Most of all, they don't have dust that could make me sneeze. However, I still miss the fell of a back in my hand while reading it in my room. It's so much better than me reading it using my netbook. I guess I'll have to wait for sometime before I can buy any book I want to read.
When will tha be?

E-book : Vampire Academy

I've been reading now an e-book entitled Vampire Academy. Since the success of the Twilight Series, many books about vampires had been published.
I first learned about Vampire Academy when I saw the book at National Book Store. :) I instantly felt connected to it and want to read it. I searched about it in the net and found a website on which I can download it for free. Perfect, now I can read it.
As of now, I've only read the first book. I'm starting to read the second one. So far, I do like the flow of the story. It is sort of mysterious and full of things that should be uncovered. :)) Can't wait to read more!!

Super Junior Arrived in the Philippines !

!

Yeah !! My idols are here in the Philippines !! :)) Too bad I can’t see them perform onstage, but I’ll wait for the TV airing! I love you SuJu! I hope you’ll come here in Cagayan de Oro City!!

Out of Boredom

I'm like bored when I edited these photos. That's what I get when boredom strikes !! :))

New Addiction: You're Beautiful (korean drama)

Today, I just finished an episode of You're Beautiful. It's a Korean drama and I saw one of its OST M/V at Channel V. The first time I saw it, I fell in love. this is like one kind of a unique drama. The girl here pretended to be her twin brother and became a member of a band called A.N. Jell. His twin is doing his surgery at America and will take a month for him to recover. Then everything started here. :)

When I first read the synopsis, I thought of Hana Kimi (Taiwanese Version). The girl was also pretending to be a guy to enter an all-boy school. But as I read further, these two dramas are totally not the same. :) I can't really elaborate anything here. As much as I would like to write more, I still have more episodes to watch. :))

5 stars rating for me :)) 

watch and be addicted ...
