Year 2003 when I graduated college,I don't have anything except myself,
my families support, my nokia 3310 cell-phone my extraordinary confidence
and my faith. I can't forget the day when I've got my first job interview.
Q: where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
A: I see myself 5 years from now having my own small business.
Q: what type of business is it?
A: I see our country getting hook up in our evolving world of technology so I guess I will start an Internet Cafe. He laughs.. Then told me that "If you’re going to dream, it must be big or bigger" (he is being rude)it was the words comes in my mind... then I suddenly think that it’s me being rude telling that I want my own company while I am still applying for a job and I forgot I am talking to the boss.
But when I finally land a job, I start doing my thing for our company at the same time self-studying some basic techniques about computers, I am determined and I want to pursue my dream. *fierce huh?
As years past by.. Improving myself and contributing what I can to our office while helping out my family was my daily routine and goal. then, finally After 2 years of perspiration in my job and a little help from my relatives, I enter the Internet Café business, though I don’t have enough finances, Then found something that some internet café are losing. I believe that Internet café was not just for gaming or for fun, but it can also help our community. After trapping some ideas and a research from other internet café. I add some spice in my Icafe, services that community needs, e.g. printing services, research, computer repair etc. having a quite long journey as an Icafe owner, I encounter a lot of obstacle one is a conflict with my job. after almost five years of service.. I decided to leave my job and finally focus on my own. I used to be a top internet café in our area but as time flies, internet café turn out to be like a mushroom that scattered almost everywhere. competition, price war and everything, but I still stick into it. This is all I started and I am not going to quit. This was the time I remember one person asked me about my internet café. "what If internet café was turn out to be just like sari-sari store that scattered almost everywhere?". I just have the same thought before I started it. And the message I get from my boss suddenly come in my mind.
"If you’re going to dream, it must be big or bigger".
So I work hard each day to pursue something, something.. I cannot tell for now. Because I am still working and planning. As of now I still take pleasure managing my small internet café business while working for ‘something’ that I hope can benefit me, my lover and my family someday.
I just want to take it one step at a time to avoid confusion. Though I am a person who is contented enough but it doesn’t mean I don’t have a bigger dream; you can laugh and say I am not ambitious. But I just like a life that is simple and has a routine. In my life I just need a little bit of happiness and I will be satisfied.
When I graduated in college all I have was myself, my families support, a nokia 3310 cell-phone, my confident and faith.. Now I have my business, a few assets, a bank account and a little investment, my confident and faith and still my family is always there for me. I know I can do more. So I must keep on fighting and doing. It’s never too late to dream and set some goals. If I will fail I will.. but if I will win, I will. ;) Because in our life there’s no such thing as mistake only lessons learned.
It isn't about finding yourself... It is about creating yourself.

“PALABUNUTAN” (Ducks and Chicken Trading Philippines)
“PALABUNUTAN”
(Ducks and Chicken Trading Philippines)
Philippines are such a great place wherein you were able to celebrate a lot of Holidays in different parts of our country. Since my childhood I enjoy Fiesta celebration a lot, for this occasion provide us a carnival, toy bazaar stage performances and the so called "Palabunutan"(to pick or to draw) wherein you just have to get a paper out of the box and put it in water to let you know you win over the game... and the price with this? Those baby ducks or chickens with different colour... Imagine how they suffer to put in the tub just to have colour and look great to attract kids. Another bad news here is this game was for kids about 4 to 12 years old, and probably we all know that without proper guidance these kids can’t raise those so called price from this palabunutan.
In my own experience we can’t simply judge kids who raise baby chickens and ducks but as I notice even now not all the kids can raise nor care well with their pets specially baby chickens and ducklings. Because in my own eyes I actually saw some of them playing with their chicks and ducks juggling, slapping, and putting into plastic bags, bottles etc. considering these living things as their toys to the point that those innocent animals turn into death.
I and my sister actually have our own baby chicken when we were in grade school mine is yellow and to my youngest sister is red, as day passing by the chicken grows well. One morning my sisters so much disappointed seeing her chicken becomes yellow, she blame me thinking that swap I it with mine but my father explains it to her that the red dye actually fades in time the chicks are supposed to be yellow, while she saw mine having the same colour we end up laughing at it together.
We were so much happy having this pet. But this nightmare come to both of us, point in time come that my father took it from us and cook it for adobo. My father explains that chicken was meant to die if he will not kill it for our food we might not get too used at it and will die sooner as it grows old, in that time I and my sister attached in our pets. We hardly accept the fact that it has to be killed as it grows old and sooner it will die. My heart bruises while I saw my father eating my pet. As I grow older I understand that chicken was meant to be our food so I decided not to pet one.
My sympathy to those living things, every time I saw “palabunutan” few questions come in my mind.
Do they deserve to be in that way? Do they need to suffer to death in the hands of innocent children? And the fact that they put colour in those chicks it’s so inhumane they suffer just to attract children to use them as their toys. It is enough that those animals provide us human the daily food we need to live? This questions leaves in my head blank.
I know I can’t do anything about this; all I can do is to talk to children every time I saw holding their pet from palabunutan. I really can’t blame them they are just kids, And for now I don’t talk to the trader of those “palabunutan” because when I try to talk to one he gets angry with me and told me that mind my own business.
Are we really living for ourselves? Aren’t we sometimes can think we are being selfish busy making money without noticing that we are doing harm to others? Oh well I am not perfect but at least I have this heart for Innocent animals. And yet I still believe that the world is not just for us Humans. Every living thing has its rights in this world that God provide us and every right associated with responsibility.

A Rumor That Facebook is Shutting Down on March 15 2011
A Rumor That Facebook is Shutting Down on March 15 2011
A lot of people across the cyber-world were wondering with this rumor spreading all over the cyberspace from twitter, Facebook, BlogSpot, Word-press etc.
I actually think of this over a year ago... that facebook will reach its ending and all of us will be upset... because some of so called fb addicts out there possibly don’t have any back up of their files here in facebook... I am referring to pictures. Luckily I have mine ;).
I essentially think that time will come that facebook will sell our own files to us when they have to close their business... funny huh?
I used to think websites even social networking was built to earn profit. ;)) Actually its true... but preferably not by taking money within our pocket, they earn profit by means of advertisement.
on other the hand websites was such a huge help to everyone... wherein we are able to connect, share and research everything ;) ....
And for now Facebook is not Shutting Down on March 15 2011. It was just a humor/myth and apparently not true. So let us all enjoy it while it’s there. ;)
A printscreen from facebook fanpage to confirm that facebook aren't closing their business.

A Great Year Round
Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it.
Every New Year people make resolutions to change aspects of them.
A majority of people revert back to how they were before and feel like failures.
Many believe that New Year is a great time to start a new life that’s why “new year resolutions are made.
But my beliefs have change in my own experiences in my life. Every time year ends I started to reminisce the hours, days, and months of my year and be thankful for all the things that happened to me whether it’s good or bad, because my mom told me that everything happen has its own reason.
Since I was a child I start to live in very simple yet happy life with my traditional and complete family, no extensions and whatsoever. And I think that was one of the great things I have in my life. Then I've met Andy my partner in everything and I think he's almost perfect not exactly, but he always treat me that I am the most beautiful girl in the world. I feel so blessed having my family and my partner. I love them the most.
When I graduated in college I am very thankful having a job and I know this will benefit my family a lot and it really helps. My first and probably my last job was such a huge help for what I become right now. It was my training ground and I really appreciate it.
But as time pass me by without a job while managing and enjoying my small business. I’m starting to think that leaving my job was one of the best things that happened to me in a long time, I can’t believe I’m saying this… because everything is so much simpler and clearer now. I don’t have to worry and be stressed about my clients or my performance at work. No more brown-nosing like a dog to a boss who works a fraction of the hours. No more drama every time my boss nags me or my officemates gossip about me. I do and earn two times as much. Now that I’m not constantly preoccupied and stressed by work, I’m happy and it’s for real. I feel like myself again. I actually have time to think about everything and what I really want to do with my life.
Every time the year ends I don’t really list down any New Year resolutions, because I do set goals even if it’s not New Year. And I am looking forward optimistically for a great year round.
Because life doesn’t have to be complicated but still we have to keep going and move forward for a better life or should I say a happy life, because it is not only the destination that matters but also its own journey.
For our life is a big canvass and we should throw all the paint on it, what colours will I choose to paint in my canvass? Only I myself can answer.

A Parent's Love... A Parent's Wish....
A parent’s love is something that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish, and enduring come what may,
For nothing can destroys it or take that love away.
Parents make great sacrifices for the care of their children.
Day after day, parents protect their children from danger,
attend to their cries, and reassure them after a bad dream.
Parents give up necessities for their children every day.
It is patience and forgiving while others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking
It believes beyond believing when world around condemns
And it glows among the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems
It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation,
And it still remain a secret, like the mystery of creation,
A many splendored miracle man cannot understand,
And Special Wondrous evidence of Life’s tender guiding hand.
A video clip that touches my heart…
An open letter from parents to their children
I cried looking back at all the people that was so dear to me.
It is an excellent reminder to everyone, children, grandchildren and grand-grand children. It’s all about life, love, care and understanding of our elders especially when they are growing old.
So I decided to shared this with my blog and social networking site and believe the young should realize that they also will be old one day. I extent a little effort to retype the letter you can read it below ;)

A JAUNT IN CEBU
When I heard about Cebu, different stuff comes in my mind, my favorite Shamrock Otap which is best match of black coffee, Dried Pusit (Squid) yummy when you dipped it in vinegar with pepper and garlic in addition one of my favorite getaways the beaches hmmn… I can’t smell the aquatic aroma.
Andy and I have been invited to visit his uncle’s house at Barili Cebu to celebrate their town fiesta and also to meet his relatives. So without a doubt, we don’t say no and hurriedly book for a roundtrip flight. We buy a Map of Cebu City wherein we can find tourist spots to leisurely walk. We were so excited because it was our first time to take a trip and visit Cebu together.
I really enjoy the one hour stay at the airplane as sightseeing the view from the window down below at the same time taking snapshots using my Olympus digital camera. I don’t use my DSLR for some reason.
We were thrilled since it was our first time to travel on a plane. When we reached the Airport in Mactan Cebu, we have to hang around for Andy’s uncle to go along with us to his house. While waiting for him were feeling quite hungry so we decided to have a lunch at the restaurant inside the airport.
When we reached in uncle’s house, a minute of talk while eating our dinner with his uncle and auntie, feeling so tired on our journey so we decided to take a rest the whole night to be ready for the next day intended for our trip to Cebu City.
As we wake up early in the morning, we quickly fix our self to get ready for our leisure walk. Our first stuff is the Cebu Taoist Temple located in Beverly Hills Subdivision in Cebu City. The temple was built by Cebu's substantial Chinese community. With an elevation of 300 meters above sea level, the temple is a towering, multi-tiered, multi-hued attraction accessible by three separate winding routes. Unlike the neighboring Phu Sian Temple, the Taoist temple is open to the worshipers and non-worshipers alike, that why we don’t visit the Phu Sian Temple in respect for their beliefs.
Next stuff The Minor Basilica of the Santo Niño or Basilica Minore del Santo Niño it is a 16th century church in Cebu City in the Philippines. It was built purportedly on the spot where the image of the Santo Niño, a sculpture depicting the Holy Child Jesus found by Spanish explorers in 1565 preserved in a burned wooden box which was left behind during the 1521 Magellan expedition. Afterward we go to the sidewalk of the Church which I bought some of my pasalubong like purse, bracelets, key-chains and a Sto. Nino de Cebu stature for my Nanay.
As we take a minute step near the cathedral is the famous Magellan’s Cross. Magellan's Cross is a Christian cross planted by Portuguese, and Spanish explorers as ordered by Ferdinand Magellan upon arriving in Cebu in the Philippines on April 21, 1521.
While enjoying our stroll holding the Cebu City Map, we reached the Fort San Pedro Historical Park also known as Fuerza de San Pedro, a military defence structure, built by Spanish and indigenous Cebuano labourers under the command of Spanish conquistador, Miguel López de Legazpi and the Spanish Government in Cebu. It is located in the area now called Plaza Indepedencia, in the Pier Area of Cebu City, Philippines.
After a half day strolling in the city. We ate our lunch at the mall near the bus station. Two hours bus ride to get through uncle’s house. As we reached the house to take pleasure in the extra time left for the day, Andy and I both decide to go to the beach downhill. A fifteen minute walk downhill to reach the beach and I could say it is worth it. While enjoying the sea-nery (scenery) with my hubhub Andy, we sat on the sand watching the sea-water flaps on the shore while enjoying playing with the hermit crabs or “umang” in tagalong term.
As we get more cherished staying in the seashore I wrote “I love you” in the sand and I am surprised that the sea answers me, call me foolish but it was my interpretation, the water flaps on my feet with those stones that really amazed me because it was in letter form so I pick them up and bring together it to “I love you”. Then I saw a heart shape stone so I hunt letters of my nickname Melai and my hubbie’s nick Andy, luckily I found them completely and put it on Andy’s pocket. It is a nice souvenir from the ocean.
On the next day, early in the morning “Fiesta” they are busy preparing for foodstuff. I saw these pigs possibly they are the cuisine. Afterward we go to the shore to see what it looks like if it is not on the high tide, another great day to spot different living species in the sea, they are stranded from the previous elevated tide; we spot a small starfish, and different kinds of fish and other existing species stranded on the shore. Along the way we notice a black dog, looks familiar, it’s “blackie” doggie of Andy’s uncle. Blackie also visit the beach but probably not to take snapshot in the stranded fishes but to have them for his breakfast, fiercest dog on the shore. After a half day of stay on the beach going uphill again to have our lunch it’s Fiesta so a lot of food is ready now. *Munchmunch.
After our lunch we decide to visit the falls near uncle’s house it was about 15 minutes trip on a motorcycle to dig up Mantayupan Waterfalls. This was Andy’s first time to see Waterfalls. We really had fun go for a dip on the said waterfall, I was tell by Andy’s cousin that the falls is very valuable to them for because instead of the tourist spot and a great getaway in their town, it also used as a irrigation for their electricity and a lot farm industry over the town. Nearby the fall is the Ambakan Cave where in you can experience a cool atmosphere invigorate inside the cave.
Next morning, it was our last day on Cebu and sure we had a great experience during the past few days, but Andy’s consider that we ought to visit the beach resorts in Mactan Island where the foreign tourist go. So we without delay we call the “Lowaii’s” resort, an affordable resort in Mactan Island to hang around for the whole day before we head into our flight at exactly 9:45 in the evening on the same day. I like the place since it was really a stress-free to stay and given that it was not a peak season, the people stay at the resort are few, a great place to unwind. 5 oclock our check out time at the resort we both decide to go to pasalubong center to buy some pasalubong for our friends and family. Then stroll nearby the center before eating our dinner, then after dinner we head in to the airport to check in 2 hours before our flight.
It was a great experience and the place are really great but I think it was not just the place made the trip special. ;)

JEJEMON (Nag-level up na!)
It’s been a while since I wrote a blog about “jejemon” invasion
Extinction Started on a Text messages, Friendster, then facebook and now they are invading over the Television, radio, and in all places. Who doesn’t know the word “Jejemon’?
After a long argument about this Jejemon Fad, I could say that jejemon have leveled up and reached their recognition a success. Not even a typhoon can stop the jejemon, a person who likes to deliberately exaggerate a word's spelling in text messaging and social networks. Despite being bashed by the grammar police, he certainly had the last laugh, or should we say, "ajejeje."
As they reached fame besting 9 other finalists, jejemon was chosen as Salita ng Taon (Word of the Year) in this year's Sawikaan 2010 organized by the Filipinas Institute of Translation Inc. (FIT). The academic conference was held in the University of the Philippines from July 29 to 30. Closely running second in the Sawikaan 2010 was Ondoy, an adjective referring to a typhoon with the same name which hit Metro Manila late last year. Other finalists include those that have been used by Filipinos in the past 2 years such as: Unli, Load, Solb, Emo, Ampatuan, Spam, Tarpo, Namumutbol. In the last Sawikaan held in 2007, the Word of the Year was miskol, a Tagalog term for "missed call," or a call that was not answered. No words made it as Word of the Year in 2008 and 2009, since Sawikaan organizers felt there was no new word deserving of the title.
Song intended for them also hits the radio. From my favorite hot girl group Mocha Girls Song title’s “Wag Kang Jejemon (Don’t Be A Jejemon)”, a hip-hoppy song about the Jejemon’s ways. The song is already playing in several radio stations in the country.
Not only on the radio because if you will try to watch the television jejemon word is always has the scene even there fashion statement.
And now there will be an upcoming situational comedy that is produced by GMA Network, starring Eugene Domingo, Wendell Ramos, Jennica Garcia and Gelli de Belen its called JejeMom (Jejemon Mother)
Jejemon also become a hot topic in the “saksi” primetime news on GMA Network.
And featured on “Jessica Soho Reports”
And guess what? hahaha... someone manage to own a jejestore it’s called “Jejemon Store” where you can buy jejecaps, jejeshirts, jejebracelets, jejeshoes and other jeje apparels.
Try to visit their site http://www.jejemonstore.com/
It’s interesting that Jejemons are typically being discriminated in Philippine culture and yet Jejemon invades. Its a FAD... a funny one *jejeje
As I say on my previous blog
http://blogniborontok.blogspot.com/2010/04/jejemon-invasion.html
I don't like them nor hate them. But I think jejemon was just a fad. We don't have to discriminate or give pessimistic comments about them. They have their own life and sure we have our own. And it's our choice if we want to be with them or just let them exist or hate them. But the bottom line is why are so many Filipino affected with this fad to the point of blogging something awful about our country's education, in our country's people. May be for you they are nonsense but they are who they are. Accept the fact. As Rain Bojangles says, “If they can't swallow facts, let them eat fiction.”
“Don’t Judge a Person by its TYPO… *ajejejeje”

In the last Sawikaan held in 2007, the Word of the Year was miskol, a Tagalog term for "missed call," or a call that was not answered. No words made it as Word of the Year in 2008 and 2009, since Sawikaan organizers felt there was no new word deserving of the title.
Song intended for them also hits the radio. From my favorite hot girl group Mocha Girls Song title’s “Wag Kang Jejemon (Don’t Be A Jejemon)”, a hip-hoppy song about the Jejemon’s ways. The song is already playing in several radio stations in the country.
Not only on the radio because if you will try to watch the television jejemon word is always has the scene even there fashion statement.
And now there will be an upcoming situational comedy that is produced by GMA Network, starring Eugene Domingo, Wendell Ramos, Jennica Garcia and Gelli de Belen its called JejeMom (Jejemon Mother)
Jejemon also become a hot topic in the “saksi” primetime news on GMA Network.
And featured on “Jessica Soho Reports”
And guess what? hahaha... someone manage to own a jejestore it’s called “Jejemon Store” where you can buy jejecaps, jejeshirts, jejebracelets, jejeshoes and other jeje apparels.
Try to visit their site http://www.jejemonstore.com/
It’s interesting that Jejemons are typically being discriminated in Philippine culture and yet Jejemon invades. Its a FAD... a funny one *jejeje
As I say on my previous blog

I don't like them nor hate them. But I think jejemon was just a fad. We don't have to discriminate or give pessimistic comments about them. They have their own life and sure we have our own. And it's our choice if we want to be with them or just let them exist or hate them. But the bottom line is why are so many Filipino affected with this fad to the point of blogging something awful about our country's education, in our country's people. May be for you they are nonsense but they are who they are. Accept the fact. As Rain Bojangles says, “If they can't swallow facts, let them eat fiction.”
“Don’t Judge a Person by its TYPO… *ajejejeje”
