I-tagalog Lesson #1

this series will be all about my happy experiences teaching Batman how to speak Tagalog and how to be a good Filipino conversationalist. I really appreciate the fact that he wanted to learn and he's a very good student haha :) I know that being accustomed to what I am accustomed to is his one way of telling me he cares about me and he accepts me for who I am.

so just for laughs Batman... not to make fun of you... but to tell the whole blogsphere world how cute you are :)

LESSON #1

"KAKAINIS" - I told him that whenever I had toyo... I always feel this to a certain perspn, thing or situation. It's something not equivalent to "mad" or "angry" but something lighter than that. It's like a "cute mad."

So last night I had a toyo... (just bummed out with the situation at work) and he was talking to me and asking me what's wrong. So I keep on saying "nothing" like I always do when I'm not ready to talk about that thing yet. And then Batman in his very very very very cute Tagalog tone asked me....

BATMAN: KAKAINIS MO SA KIN???? (naiinis ka ba sa kin?)

hahahahahahahhaha :P

Even if I was in toyo mode that time, after hearing it, I can't help but smile. And I took note to blog it the next day (which I am doing now) and it gave me the idea to compile all those funny memories I will have with him.

YOU ARE NOT JUST MY DARK KNIGHT... YOU'RE MY JOKER TOO...

you never fail to put smile on my face no matter how *toyo* i am :) thank you for wanting to make me happy.

*kilig post :)

...its the very first thing that greeted me in the morning :)

...its the very first greetings I got for my coming birthday

...just this... and my day is complete :) *kilig*kilig

(by the way, he said he was shy after reading it... hahaha :) THAT'S THE POINT!)

God is good!

I’ve been doing a lot of blog hopping these past few days and I’m enjoying it a lot. I really admire those people who can inspire other people through their works. Some are just sharing stories of their life but still… somebody’s experience can be somebody’s entertainment and inspiration. Thank you for these bloggydee blogs which made me happy. I left comments to those whom I was really blessed and blogs which I’ll be checking out from time to time :)

As for me, well, last week was a very hard week for me. Firstly, our salary was delayed L It was supposed to be given every 5th of the month, but since the 5th is Sunday, we’re supposed to get it on the 3rd which is Friday. But because of some financial crisis our company is experiencing right now, it was delayed on 8th of this month. But it doesn’t end there, on the 8th of October, the expected money did not reach us yet, which means, it will be delayed again. That was last Wednesday and man, that was the scariest Wednesday of my life since I moved here in Rayong. Why? Because the workers got so mad at the management when they found out they can’t have their salary on that day. So at about 3pm, all of them stopped working, they gather themselves together and they kept on clanging the metals and machines in the factory. The sound of those clanging metals really scares me. Feels like I can’t go out of the office alive. And the fact that I’m in the Finance Department makes it worse. Some of them looked at me as if I’m the one keeping the money from them. They didn’t understand I don’t have my salary too. So the managers went out to talk to them. Thank God everything went okay. The management promised to pay them on the 10th and they were gracious to agree. On the 10th, which was last Friday, they got their salary but not us :( Well, I think its better they got it first. I don’t wanna deal with scary workers again :(

Secondly, I got to talk to my brother last week and he told me that our mom is very sick. The moment I knew that, I called her and asked her to go to the doctor. My brother is suggesting it to her but she is refusing because she’s thinking of the cost of the check-up, the medicines, etc. So she and my brother went to the doctor’s clinic and found out she has pneumonia and high blood pressure. Another dilemma for me is that, she’s sick, they need money and I don’t have salary yet. Good thing I got to send them some money before the start of this week so they have a little money to use for my mom’s medicine and other expenses. But still, it won’t be enough to last for next week especially the medicine is so expensive. I talked to my mom and told her not to worry but deep in my heart, I’m the one who’s very worried for them. I told my brother to look after my mom.

The next day, I called them again and surprisingly, I found out this time that my brother is sick too :( I was really worried and crying out to God, asking Him to look after them. During these times that I wish I have the supernatural power to fly or teleport myself in a blink of an eye and be there the moment they need me.

Well, God is good… last Saturday when I got home in Bangkok, God sent three angels to help me in my finances which means, my mom and brother can buy enough medicine. Thank God for those angels :) The other day I got to talk to my brother again and he’s feeling okay now and my mom is getting better, still a little sick but getting better. Really really really thank God!

Aside from that I have Batman to stay with me through all of this. He’s was there to understand my toyo-ness, he’s there willing to fly and save me from the angry factory workers and he’s there just to love me :D

I still haven’t got my salary till now (15th of October 2008) but I’m not worried anymore. My Father God can work in ways I can’t even grasp. He cares for me and He will be there to look after my mom and my brother too. And, He gave me Batman to stood by my side and hold my hand. Indeed, God is good… all the time!

my life is in YOUR hands.. my heart is in YOUR keeping...

i think I've been listening to it a lot...

can't take it out of my mind already. its nice though.. cheesy but sweet... very heartwarming (kakakilig hehe:P)

TANGLED UP IN YOU

by Staind

You're my world
The shelter from the rain

You're the pills

That takes away my pain

You're the light

That helps me find my way

You're the word

When I have nothing to say

In this world where nothing else is true

Here I am still tangled up in you

I'm still tangled up in you

Still tangled up in you

You're the fire

That warms me when I'm cold

You're the hand

I have to hold as I grow old

You're the shore

When I am lost at sea

You're the only thing

That I like about me

How long has it been?

Since this storyline begins

And I hope it never ends

And goes like this forever

I'm still tangled up in you

Still tangled up in you

I think the person to whom this song was made for is loved a lot, very lucky girl (haba ng hair nya for sure). But try to think of it, he must be one heck of a lucky guy too... for him to experience that kind of love from that girl...

Well, glad to know that I'm still tangled up with someone who's not just my world, my pills, my light, my word, my fire, my shore, etc. but also my clown, my pillow, my chocolate, my rice and chicken, my chili spice, my chauffeur, my coffee-mate, my rockstar, my comic geek, my bestfriend...

so to you whom I'm still tangled up to: we might have "toyo" moments at times but you're still one of my favorite person ;) and I'll never ever want to be untangled from you.

"still tangled up in you"

to you :)

just more than two decades ago, this very same day, someone was born.

to some people he's just a someone...

for me... he's the one...

... good hearted

... talented

... loving

... witty

... crazy

... my dark knight :P

thank God for your life... happy birthday!

yeah... its always better when we're together :)
