Back to blogging

Writing is my opium of life. I have at times million of lucid imagination circling in the symmetrical hemisphere of my brain that I want to scribble these thoughts into words, be it about situations, events, and people. Lately, I have not been blogging after I wrote an article about my good buddy, Dennis Jan De Guzman. Actually, my desktop computer got screwed. It took my son a pain to have it repaired with a par value service and have to connect the Smart Internet. And oh we are ingratiated of the Sun’s internet service-it is too slow, like a turtle.  We cannot even have video streaming in Youtube. Besides, I have been assiduously engaging my time since I joined Frontrow Enterprise on March 31 with the end in view to reach my goal in January 2012. What is my goal? To become a millionaire. Maybe, I am laughing stock to the readers but when you want to achieve something, then, you have to have a goal setting because this will stir your engine to keep on pushing.

I guess it is time to be back to blogging again and feature people who have made a significant footstep in our lives. Watch for this.

COOL DUDE DENNIS JAN DE GUZMAN

Dennis Jan De Guzman capturing the moments

The first time I heard about Dennis was when I was in Quality Department. I read his name blasted in the email that said “CONGRATULATIONS DENNIS JAN DE GUZMAN TECHNICAL TRAINER".  It was one of a helluva congratulations!. My mind was spinning in angular momentum. His name reminded me of the funny cartoon character “Dennis the Menace” who would drive you crazy with his mavericks.  In this particular momentum, I asked a question who was this Dennis they were overwhelmingly congratulating.. The answer to my question was of course ambiguous since I was only talking to myself.  That question had become an impasse for me. I was engrossed at that time monitoring calls to beat the clock just to meet the quota.

 He was the tall, naive looking & conservative guy that I often encountered in the training department if ever I would conduct a call calibration and/or post activity. I would request him to turn on the projector (lol) and he diligently obeyed (I was too bossy!).  Oh my golly, I never decipher that the towering guy was Dennis. After few months of setting things in motion in Operations, our path crossed through Mike Merino.  I told myself; "oh so this is Dennis Jan De Guzman"! Oh you know I am a bummer! Albeit there are remarkably hundreds of people in Qualfon addressing me as “Mommy”, my cognitive ability to memorize names is extremely poor.  That is the lopsided part of me- my brain screwed!

WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT MY SUP BUDDIES

It is like a house of carousel being in Operations.  I am a cunning device being thrown from one Shift Manager to another in a four (4) months time. I am walking like a rabbit on the floor bracing myself up most of the time with hundreds of demands and shenanigans. I am boiling in a hot water but still I would soak myself with a cold water to maintain my equanimity of the mind. There are gloomy periods that run down my veins that sometimes I feel like a royal bitchy pushing my ass to the limits. The best description of me is subterfuge....Despite of this doomsday in my head and the gloomy period, I can see nuts of fruitcakes in my Sup Buddies. I am throwing my dice in a day that I can put a nutshell of them in my pineal mind.

I want to explore them (forgive my language if you mistakenly interpreted this with a nasty mind). By exploring, I want to say something about them. I start the ball rolling and whoever can catch up with it...Good!.

Genisa

I call her "Sassy Girl" in my own layman's man term. She is always searching for the right guy so I say it will come in a right time like a falling rain and in a right place. She is peppy woman and born to be hilarious at times oblivious to her.  She can throw puns that makes us laugh yet there is some kind of haughtiness in her. I did not say naughty, guys...I said haughty- a sense of stubbornness in her.Wish her luck with her quest for her "Prince Charming". Maybe he is just around the corner. Oh right beside her. Jejeje!

QUO VADIS

I am not impeccable……I have maybe numbers of waterloos that I am fighting out to overcome. I have thousands of disturbing imaginations in my thoughts. They are playing in the whirlwind of my mind.  Nobody can reach them. They are just there I am making fancy of myself. Sometimes these thoughts and lucid imaginations make me laugh, make me cry, make me frustrated, upset and depressed. Who understands anyway? Who cares?  Yet I am still within the limits of my sanity. Whoever touches my tiny soul- I will have a life time rapture.

Between wake and sleep cycle, I can say that I have 3-4 hours of sleep. I have sleeping disorder and my insomnia is killing me to death.  Can’t really get enough sleep. I often seize the night –carpe noctem! -  when I ought to be sleeping and dream of things where my imagination leads me—either to the world of nowhere, the world of nightmare or to the fantasy of naughtiness…hahahaha  I am a woman of mischief but those are all in the mindset.

When I wake-up between dusk and dawn, I feel giddy. I want to sleep more and curl my body and continue dreaming again but the alarm clock of my cell phone keeps on snoozing as though telling me; “you lazy bum, pick up your ass and get a bath.”  My timid body obeys what my mind dictates. Guess what? It took me 30 minutes to compose myself inside the bathroom. Once the cold stream of water dripping all over me, I come back to reality that I must report to work. 

GETTING TO KNOW BETTER CESAR CORPIN

I love to write about people and the magnitude of their personality but I am not a psychologist who studies human mind and character. Mine is base on a mere personal acquaintances and friendship so to speak. It reminds me of the saying of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: "Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and, departing, leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time."

Thorn Heart

"Thorn Heart" is the first book that I am writing. This a story of love, passion and courage of woman coping up with the trials of life. Her ambition was to alleviate her family from quagmire of poverty. For her, life has no boundaries but a great horizon of greater opportunities. Margot was ambitious and strong-willed woman until the day, she fell in love with Todd Stevens which changed her world. Where would her ambition lead her?

To my kids, Dane, Dawn and Dianne for their unconditional love.....

To God, for the talents He gifted me....

To my friends, who are there through thick and thin....


How could you ever love a man you know you can never have? There is a pain in your heart being stabbed by a Damocles sword! Within the depth of your heart you bleed and you are the only one who understands what a profound loneliness is. In the darkest side of your life, he is a candle glowing in the dark. In the essence of your whole being, your bodies are just one, just one soul……

Chapter I

Phantoms of Memories

When the country was under siege of the 1986 People Power Revolution; when mammoth of people: young and old, fat and thin, nuns and priests armored with rosary, when non-government organizations and civic leaders braved EDSA to demonstrate the ouster of Pres. Marcos, a beautiful angelic baby girl was born to a woman, Margot, in a quiet town of San Jose, Antique (pronounced An-ti-ke) at 2:30 dawn time- when the  night time was meeting the  daytime. When the baby cried loudly, the chirping of the crickets and the flocks of birds were cacophonous too.  It seemed like the crickets and the birds were welcoming the baby for they never stopped chanting in their language until the baby ceased crying. A cry of life? A cry of joy?  Or maybe a cry of defiance she existed on the face of the earth? In her little sense of world, she might have foreseen that her life would be consisting of twist and turns.

HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART I MOVIE TREAT

Harry Potter &  the Deathly  Hallows is the last book written by J.K Rowling. The making of the movie was split into two (2) parts. Part I was released by Warner Brothers and showed in different theaters worldwide simultaneously.  It earned an astronomical amount of $61.2 on it’s first day of showing.

 Staffs and some agents were swarming like colony of ants at Cinema 3 in Gaisano, Ayala. We were waiting restlessly, my legs aching (due to floor walking) outside Cinema 3. We were engrossed eating our snacks while piling up. Very eager to watch the movie. I saw bigwig of Qualfon, like Alfie Torres, Pacito Revil, Natalie Mamites, Noelle Parnada, Elvie Po, Mary Diongon, etc.  It was past 3:00 pm when we were allowed to enter Cinema 3. The movie was supposed to be 3D (I didn't feel it that way). 3D is a three dimensional film or S3D(stereoscopic 3D) film motion picture that enhances the illusion of depth perception. The archetypical 3-D glasses were not provided to view the movie, nonetheless, I was enjoying with gusto. I realized it was not 3D actually but Cinema 3 D.Meaning to say , we had to sit not  at the lounge area. D means downstairs. That was stupidity in me.  I sat between Mike Gatchalian and Dianh Aguinaldo. As we waited for all sorts  of puffery advertisements and movie trailers to end, pigments of imaginations were circulating in my mind. Where will the adventure of Harry Potter bring me? How will my mind traverse to magical world of sorcery and witchery?  How will the story ends (when I read a book I started reading at the end. Truly Pinoy)? How in the world J.K Rowling has this kind of imaginative and inventive mind? I do believe others were wandering their minds too even bring them to other dimension.
