Nipa Hut

Image
source Howdy! yay after I received a text message from a college friend I was thinking that I should post this one. I was laughing after reading the message. I read it again and I started to sing the english version of Bahay Kubo (Nipa Hut).  Bahay Kubo was like the first tagalog nursery rhyme I remember singing when I was still a kid with matching hand formation/steps lol. I always love singing nursery rhymes, I love singing the watermelon song, and bahay kubo with my nephew, I felt like a kid again, but I think everyone is a kid at heart. So below is the Tagalog lyrics of the song.   Bahay Kubo Bahay kubo, kahit munti  Ang halaman doon, ay sari sari Sinkamas at talong, sigarilyas at mani Sitaw, bataw, patani. Kundol, patola, upo't kalabasa At saka mayroon pang labanos, mustasa, Sibuyas, kamatis, bawang at luya Sa paligid-ligid ay puno ng linga and this is the English version NIPA HUT Nipa hut*, even though it is small...

I has Money

Image
--> I was bored to death so I enjoy myself answering questions about money from askdeb.com. This is not for fun really; I answered it seriously and with sincerity. 1.    What would you do if you had a million dollars? If I had those million dollars I would invest it in putting up my own business. 2.    Are you a spender or a saver? I’m half spender and half saver. Actually I’m a saver there are circumstances wherein I have no choice but to spend the money :P 3.    How much money do you save on a regular basis? (As a percentage of your income?) I dunno I don’t give it much attention. 4.    Do you have a personal written budget? I used to have one but I quit since sometimes I forgot to take notes and my recollection of things/events is poor. 5.    When you go to a meal dutch, would you prefer to itemize the receipt or just spli...

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance for a break that would make it okay there's always some reason to feel not good enough and it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction oh a beautiful release memory seeps from my veins let me be empty oh and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight In the arms of the angel fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here So tired of the straight life and everywhere you turn there's vultures and thieves at your back the storm keeps on twisting you keep on building the lies that you make up for all that you lack it don't make no difference escaping one last time it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

Earth Day

Yesterday was Earth Day, I just found out from Ms. Annaposa’s blog. I’m really impressed on how she conveys her message on her blog, the way she puts her thoughts into words. Anyway, this is not my entry to Nuffnang contest but this is my thoughts which I’m trying to put into words.  Who loves Earth?! Well, of course I do love Earth; it’s a wonderful place to live.  But the question is why are we destroying it? Now the Earth is like changing rapidly, the weather, the environment, almost everything! Global Warming took its toll because of what we did in our planet. I can feel it, you can feel it, everybody does, but why are we so uncaring? I would like to share this video from Ehdubya titled Pale Blue Dot, the video's message is  that we should wake up and act now! You'll love this one and well I hope it will change somehow your view in life. Pale Blue Dot - Animation  from  Ehdubya  on  Vimeo . We should act now; we all know t...

Just Stay the Same

Joey Mcintyre - Stay The Same - ... Stay The Same [Chorus] Don't you ever wish you were someone else, You were meant to be the way you are exactly. Don't you ever say you don't like the way you are.  When you learn to love yourself, you're better off by far. And I hope you always stay the same,  cuz there's nothin' 'bout you I would change. [Verse] I think that you could be whatever you wanted to be if you could realize, all the dreams you have inside. Don't be afraid if you've got something to say, Just open up your heart and let it show you the way. [Chorus] [Bridge] Believe in yourself. Reach down inside. The love you find will set you free. Believe in yourself, you will come alive. Have faith in what you do. You'll make it through. [Chorus] I heard a song from Boyzone last night when we’re listening to the radio and I remember this song.  At first I thought thi...

Palm Sunday

Today is Palm Sunday! It's a moveable feast for Christian worshiper which is held before the Easter Sunday.  I went to church today and it was most likely the second time I went to church alone. Outside the cathedral, busy children are making different designs of palm branches and they would usually sell it cheap. I bought one from a little girl, the design was a cross with a rose behind it, she even praised my outfit, she said, "nice keu imung gisuot te"(your outfit looks good on you). I was shocked she told me that but I just told her "nah! dili man"(i don't think so) hehe. I remembered back then when I used to make different designs of palm branches with my cousin, it was a mess and my cousin used to correct all my works haha! We have to make our own since it was better and more personalized ika nga. But I didn't get the picture why we celebrate Palm Sunday. I mean, what's the significance of this day? According to the story, Jesus return...
