will it ever be the same again?

All good things must come to an end.

First it was her...

Then him...

No, the show's not wrapping up yet, but its going to lose another one of its original & main characters. I have grown to love the series that I've written about it a few times. I can't help but get affected by another goodbye.

:(

heard this new song over the radio this morning. i'm not normally a fan of OPM songs but i like this for being so witty & straightforward:

AKALA

Parokya ni Edgar

akala ko iced tea yun pala beer

akala ko reverse yun pala second-gear

akala ko kasya yun pala hindi

akala ko tama yun pala mali

akala ko hip-hop yun pala metal

akala ko batis yun pala kanal

akala ko toothpaste yun pala glue

akala ko verde yun pala blue

akala ko tsinelas yun pala sapatos

akala ko umabot yun pala kapos

akala ko bukas yun pala kahapon

akala ko mamaya yun pala ngayon

akala ko alam ko na ang lahat

ng dapat kong malaman

ngunit mali na naman

pero okay lang yan

wag kang matakot na baka magkamali

walang mapapala kung hindi ka magbabakasakali

dahil lumilipas ang oras

baka ka maiwanan kung hindi mo susubukan

akala ko chicken yun pala asado

akala ko bukas pero yun pala sarado

akala ko mansanas yun pala banana

akala ko meron pa yun pala wala na

akala ko foreign yun pala pinoy

akala ko blackjack yun pala pusoy

akala ko talo yun pala panalo

akala ko si chito yun pala ako

akala ko dati walang mangyayari

akala din nila ngayon wala silang masabi

akala ng lahat mapapagod din ako

mabuti nalang matigas ang aking ulo

akala ko walang mapupuntahan

kahit na paghirapan ngunit mali na naman

kung di ko sinubukan sanay hindi ko na nalaman

edi na sayang lang

wag kang matakot na baka magkamali

walang mapapala kung hindi ka magbabakasakali

dahil lumilipas ang oras

baka ka maiwanan kung hindi mo susubukan

thanks for watching today's show! hope to see you guys again tomorrow & have a great day to everyone! -- again, audience claps & roars, hands over head, with matching standing ovation to the cue of the set production assistant

yes...it can kill.

WARNING to all!

what's for breakfast?

A large bowl of warm old fashioned oats with my mom’s (homemade with much LOVE) tablea (native cocoa) & powdered milk…this is my typical morning meal. I have this everyday & I don’t seem to get tired of it. No matter how full I was the night before or how early I have to leave the house that day, I see to it that I don’t miss my usual breakfast or else my day won’t be complete. My ultimate comfort food, I can even actually eat this any time of the day. For lunch, snack or even dinner.
We all eat differently in the morning, ranging from instant meals, to quick & easy to prepare, to the more time consuming & sophisticated. Nowadays, most people are too busy that they are used to skipping breakfast.

Garlic rice, egg & longganisa, hot pandesal with corned beef or quezo or mantekilya, rice porridge with pickled vegetables, hot noodle soup with dumplings, toast with butter & jam, cereals with milk, eggs benedict, waffles, pancakes, french toasts, yogurt, granola, et cetera...et cetera.

As they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. What's your breakfast today?

secrets of a rich man

From an article today in inquirer.net:

Lucio Tan's 8 secrets to a happy life
1. Work hard to achieve your dreams.
2. Take every opportunity, masama o mabuti, as an opportunity to learn and grow.
3. Lead a simple life. Do not live beyond your means.
4. Do away with the very bad Filipino attitude of living on credit, or spending today, earning money tomorrow.
5. Be matipid; teach the kids the value of saving money and using money wisely.
6. Make sure to pay your debts.
7. Don't betray other people's trust.
8. Take care of your parents, your other elders.

I don't think these are really secrets, we all know these but most of the time we forget. Our memories just need a little refreshing sometimes and it's good to be reminded by one of the wealthiest & most successful, albeit simple, men in the world.

I particularly like #s 2, 3, 7 & 8.
