5 things found in my room: bed, desktop computer, laptop computer, fish tank, wall clock, alarm clocks, desk clock, stereo component, guitar, radio controlled cars, fans/heater, lamp shade, and me most of the time....!

5 things I've always wanted to do: This is my giant wish in life, to go back home to pinas for good and start something there.... I've thought of starting a resort hotel and a small shopping square plaza.... But who know's when are all those plans gonna happen ha-ha....! Main problem: MONEY....! We've already started on some little one only.... =D

5 things I'm currently into: blogging world, hardworking for the savings, and family matters....

Well, that's me.... Thanks again to Genny for this meme.... I want to hand this meme over to some of my friends but i have to check their blogs first if they've already did this before.... Anyways, if you like this meme just feel free to have it a go....!

David Beckham in Sydney....

I think i've already posted about this before.... But this time it's the real thing....! For those who like to watch David Beckham play football, mamatay kayo sa inggit he-he....! Joks lang....! I was so busy at work na kahit gusto ko sana tong i-post bago pa sya dumating dito ay wala talagang chance.... Anyways, he's still here promoting a lot of things like his football team the LA Galaxy, his perfume, and lots of things mostly products from japan....


Around 80,000 people turned up to watch him play for LA Galaxy where he is the team captain in last night's exhibition match against Sydney FC. Thought his team lost the match, everyone understand that it was only an exhibition game and he doesn't really have to break a shin bone just to prove his ability to play the game.... Just to watch him perform his spectacular moves was already enough to drive the last night's ecstatic fans wild over Beckham....!


One officemate of mine had a chance to watch the exhibition game last night with his grandson.... Funny thing was, he (the grandson) broke his leg while doing diving in the weekend and the leg was in plaster cast and he was on crutches too when they went to watch the game.... My officemate said that when the security saw them, he then told them to take the front seats instead he-he....! Maybe he thought that the boy's leg got broken in a soccer game and he is a big fan of Beckham....! =D

My other friend's husband and four sons too was there.... They are lucky to get some front seats, manager kasi husband nya sa ACER so they had the chance to get the tickets much earlier and much cheaper from the company where he works.... I'm not really a football follower, and same as all the other filipinos i guess, i am a BIG BIG FAN of basketball games.... But just for the sake of having something na " IN " nowadays to talk about sa trabaho ay nanood na rin ako sa tv nung live broadcast kagabi he-he....! It was alright....

Anyways, panoorin nyo na rin tong video na to.... This is Channel 7 News with David Beckham a day after arriving in sydney.... I hope you can catch-up with the aussie accent, para kasing kinakain nila ang mga words kung magsalita....! =D

Thinking about christmas....

You know christmas is just around the corner, but the odd thing is soon it's going to be scorching hot here in sydney....! Summer time is already here and it's already starting to get more warmer each day.... Christmas in my childhood's memory is about santa, snows, reindeers, and snowmans.... And eventhough tropical ang climate natin dyan sa pinas pero meron pa rin namang kaunting ihip ng malamig na hangin kada pasko di ba....? Ewan ko lang sa Manila, pero dun sa amin sa probinsya may lamig pa rin na kunti ang pasko.... There's no way i can sport my jackets and things here for christmas like i use to do there in pinas when we go to the church and malls at night....

Sometimes it's strange watching christmas programs on tv during the ber-seasons when you'are sweating all-over and you crave for a glass of cold drinking water....! Plus the annoying scenes in the malls....! The decorations, the songs, at nakakita na ba kayo ng pictorial na si Santa Clause ay parang ginaw na ginaw dun sa porma nya habang ang kandong-kandong naman nya na bata ay nakapang-Sahara Desert na attire....?! How i wish na makaka-uwi ako this christmas, pero malabo due to a lot of problems that was stopping me from saving for my holiday back this year....

Anyways, there's still plenty of chances naman sa mga susunod pa na mga months, pero ito sana ang pinakagusto ko dahil masaya at madaming activities.... I've missed a lot in my life you know.... Since i came here, everything seems to had stopped in a certain point of my life.... Sometimes i said to myself na maybe tatanda ako later on na puzzled and wondering what had happened to those dashes in between the words na "my-------life" kasi napakadami kong na-miss na mga bagay....! Minsan na-isip ko tuloy na mag-aral kaya akong lumipad....! Para naman makakabalik ako sa pinas anytime na bored ako dito ng walang masyadong kuskos balungos....! Yun kaya ibig sabihin nung Flying School....?

Hay naku, kung bibilangin ko lang ang lahat ng mga hinanakit ko sa buhay ay magi-emote na naman, totopakin, at masisira lang tong pasko ko....! For the sake of the christmas spirit na lang, i will try to enjoy this christmas season kahit na medyo malayo sa love ones dahil once lang naman natin to mai-enjoy sa isang taon di ba....? Sa mga nag-aantabay naman po dyan sa holiday counter ko sa taas, hindi po matutuloy yan.... Dapat siguro palitan ko na muna yan ng counters for New Years Eve o Valentines Day hanggang sa makapagmunimuni at makapagdesisyon naman ako ng panibagong mga holiday dates....! And hopefully this time ay matuloy na sana.... =D

Hershey's Truck....?

We've heard of hydro, electric, cooking oil, bananas and tin cans (from back to the future) powered cars, but have you heard of a chocolate powered car before....? Yes, another one of my bizarre stories....!

Two British adventurers are preparing to set off on an expedition to west Africa in a lorry powered by biodiesel made from waste chocolate.... The Ecotec team with their chocolate diesel vehicle Andrew Pag, 34, from Croydon, south London, and John Grimshaw, 39, from Poole, Dorset, will drive more than 4,500 miles across the Sahara to Timbuktu, in Mali, to raise awareness of green fuels.... Their lorry, called "the Bio-truck", runs on a fuel created by a Lancashire-based producer, Ecotec, which has developed a process to turn chocolate misshapes into biodiesel....

But they will not be able to dip into their tank of hot brown whatever they are if they feel hungry as the biodiesel does not look or smell like chocolate at all....! What about the taste....? The fuel is made from cocoa butter extracted from the waste chocolate.... Most of the chocolate would otherwise end up in landfill....

Parang Hershey's Car ano he-he....! Kung ako nga kapag nag-travel pauwi ng pinas ay iilang packets lang ng chocolates ang dala, itong kotse na to ay isang punong tanke ang dala not to mention the reserve tanks inside the car-boot pa ha-ha....! Di kaya sila langgamin sa dami ng sweets na dala nila....?! This is what i call a sweet way to travel....! Astig....! =D

Federal Election....

Australians right across the country are casting their votes today, as polling booths in every states and territory open for the federal election.... Alam ko na hindi nyo alam pinagsasatsat ko ngayon dito at hindi nyo rin kilala kung sino-sino tong mga unggoy na to sa pictures unless na sinusubaybayan nyo talaga ang politika namin dito sa downunder he-he....! This is a big day because we are going to decide who the future leader of the country is going to be.... Just like the election for president dyan sa pinas pero hindi nga lang kasing gulo.... Australia is about the size of america but we only have less than 20 million population dito....

I just want to give you a slight taste of our politics here in downunder because today i'm going to cast my first vote for the 2007 Federal Election.... Any moment from now ay malalaman na kung sino nga ba sa mga Prime Ministerial candidates na to ang syang tatanghaling kampyon....

This is my first time to vote in a federal election and also my first to vote in Parramatta City kasi nun sa Merrylands na suburb ako nakatira kung kaya dun din ang polling station ko.... Hindi ko rin alam kung saang polling area ako kasi nung nag-check ako kanina sa net ay madami palang polling stations tong parramatta kaya medyo dapat agahan ko ngayon just in case na wala ang pangalan ko dun sa ibang polling areas para mahanap ko dun sa iba pa ng masmaaga.... By the way, the picture inset are the candidates for prime ministerial position except the person in the middle....

JOHN HOWARD - If you've heard of him ,he's the current prime minister of australia.... He's been serving australians for 11 long years now.... He's a winner of numerous federal elections and people seems to find it hard to let go of him.... But they said that he's a liar too, a mister empty promises to some, to apologise is not his cup of tea, and interest rates and things such as house prices are rising during his terms.... He's also a friend of George Bush during the war in Iraq, in short, tuta....! Sadly, if he wins this election again, at some point in time (estimates is within 8 months only) he will retire and pass the seat to his trusted treasurer Peter Costello.... No good....!

PETER COSTELLO - The treasurer, australias second big man, and the future successor of Mr. Howard.... He said that Howard promised him the seat before.... People said, let's see about that mr. treasurer....! He really thought that he could get away with the throne that easily without even competing with Kevin Rudd in the candidacy.... But put it this way, kung halimbawa tumakbo man sya for prime minister, wala namang magtitiwalang magbigay ng boto nila sa kanya....! So bakit nila hahayaang manalo si Howard at ipapasa lang pala ang pagka-prime ministro kay Costello pagkatapos di ba....? Wrong move Howard, you shouldn't have told the public about your crooked plans with Costello....!

KEVIN RUDD - Labor Party leader, not so experienced but has a lot of positive plans, he can speak mandarin while John Howard can only eat mandarins....! The asian community said that this guy's grandfather is a chinese.... His eldest daughter married a hong kong man, and his youngest daughter's boyfreind is from mainland china.... I'm not sure if that rumor is true or not.... But then if it is a correct information, therefore i conclude that he's an asian friendly person which makes me happy as an asian too....! Some aussies said that he will bring asians to control downunder in the future.... I said, who gave them that idea....? Have you heard of the word Symbiosis before....?! Howard said, he will bring back the unions.... I said, good....! A Howard supporter said, Rudd's union leaders are racists and they hate asians in particular.... I said, what....?! Almost the majority of union members are asians as well as their soon to be champion man has something 25% or so of that blood circulating in his veins....! Are you crazy....?! Basta ako at the end of the day ay kay Kevin Rudd pa rin okay....!

At yan po ang election namin dito sa downunder.... Alam kong wala kayong naintindihan dyan sa mga pinagsusulat ko at lalong hindi nyo kilala tong mga pinag-uusapan natin he-he....! Pasensyahan nyo na lang po tong astig nyong lingkod at masyado lang na-carried away dun sa first prime ministerial poll nya....! Anyways, malalaman nyo dito kung nanalo ang kandidato ko at malalaman nyo rin kung hindi dahil tatahimik ako nun at kakalimutan ko na tong topic na to he-he....! Excuse ko lang po to for not blogging and blog-hopping today....! Anyways, i'll try to visit all your blogs tonight, yan ay kung hindi pa ako lasing sa celebration....! Joks lang, i will blog-hop later tonight after the counting....! =D

PM Election Results later here....

As of 8:00 PM tonight, KEVIN RUDD wins election wooohooo....! Sabi ko na nga ba ha-ha....! Congratulations to our New Prime Minister....! Well done....! =D

No more bottled water....

A universal accessory, the water bottle will soon be a thing of the past here in australia.... Councils are planning to ban the plastic bottles from their respective suburbs because of the damages it can cause to our environment.... Recent survey reveals that the bottled water is increasing around 10% per year as well as the improper disposal of the plastic bottles.... The government is worried that if the problem is not tackled sooner, at some point in time it can escalate to an irreversible level at mahihirapan na silang ayusin pa ito....

There's nothing wrong with drinking tap water naman sa palagay ko.... Kailangan lang siguro nilang maglagay ng madami pang taps o gripo lalo na sa mga public places kung saan madaming mangangailangan ng drinking water like parks, department stores, movie houses, schools, church, beach (may tubig na rin dun kaya lang maalat he-he....!) sidewalks, etc.... The thing is, mahirap talagang baguhin ang isang kulturang nakasanayan na natin ng mahabang panahon kaya sa tingin ko ay hindi ito madaling gawin....

Lalong-lalo na kapag hindi ka sanay na uminom straight from the taps.... Pwede ka rin namang magdala ng sarili mong water purifiers and filters just in case na hindi mo na kayang umabot pa ng bahay mo at talagang inum na inom ka na....! Nowadays Portable Water Alkalizer, purifying containers and filtered containers whatever you call those are already in different shapes and sizes, of course mukha pa rin itong drinking containers at hindi hugis papaya o palayok....!

Nakakatawa lang isipin na in the future ay hindi lang toilets, ATM machines, movie houses, terminal ng bus ang pinipilahan kundi pati na rin ang mga gripo ng tubig....! Sa pinas siguro ay ordinaryong tanawin lang to dahil sa kondisyon ng pamumuhay natin dyan, pero sa isang maunlad na bansa na kagaya dito sa downunder ay medyo nakakatawa nga tong tingnan....!

In some parts of the world particularly in africa where water is so scarce, people will drink just anything liquid regardless of the quality and its source just to survive for at least another day.... Sometimes they've even shared a muddy pool with their horses and cattles para maka-inom lang ng tubig....

Mapalad pa nga sila dito na kahit magmumukha lang silang nakiki-share ng tubig dun sa mga ibon sa park in the future, ay at least malinaw at malinis naman ito.... E ano ngayon kung habang kasalukuyan kang sarap na sarap dun sa pag-inom ng refreshing na tubig galing dun sa bird-bath basin sa may park ay nagtatampisaw naman si ibong pipit at ang boypren nya dun sa harap....! Ayaw mo pa nun, may malamig na tubig ka na, may libreng entertainment ka pa ha-ha....! =D

Isang patak na gatas....

I can't help it, i'm a bit stuck with bizarre stories nowadays he-he....! Medyo nawili lang ng kunti dun sa mga kakaibang pangyayari....! I don't know if you've already stumbled on this one today.... It was on the breakfast radio this morning while i was in the shower and it sounds so weird to me that i've started looking for it in the web today para ilagay lang dito.... Is this a classic case of reality disconnection....? A speaker's unprepared appearance....? Or baka sabog lang sya talaga nun time na yun kaya ganun he-he....! Baka all of the above din he-he....!

Paul McCartney's estranged wife Heather Mills monday accused consumers of meat and dairy products of fueling global warming, as she launched a vegan campaign at London's famous Speaker's Corner.... Mills, who is engaged in an increasingly bitter divorce battle with the former Beatle, suggested that people could drink the milk of rats or cats, rather than milking cows.

First of all, ano kaya lasa nun....? Pangalawa, gaano ba kadaming gatas ang makukuha natin sa isang daga....?! Isang patak, kalahating patak, o wan-port sa patak....?! Aba'y napakamahal naman na gatas nun....! Ano kayang machine ang pwedeng gamitin para gatasan ang daga ano....? Citrus Press pwede kaya....? Iilan kayang daga ang makakapuno sa isang feeding bottle ni beybe, mga wantawsan rats....? Ilang beses naman kung dumede si beybe in one day....?

Naku po, at sumasakit lang ang ulo ko sa ka-calculate kung gaano kadaming mga daga at pusa ang masa-shock sa news na to....! Papayag naman kayang gatasan yung mga daga at pusa....? Anong say nyo Minggay and Bubwit....? At pagtinanong nyo ako kung anong lasa nung gatas ng pusa, sigurado akong lasang daga yun he-he....! Yuk....!

Ganito siguro talaga ang takbo ng pag-iisip ng mga Rich and Famous ano....? Basta na lang magsasalita kahit na walang solid-grounds....! Ito galing dun sa isang kasamahan ko sa trabaho, not from Pepe's big mouth to ha.... Sabi nya, " when you'are rich you can have whatever things you've wanted in life....! Good food, cars, motorbikes, clothes, furnitures, jewelries, houses, horses, boats, planes, travels, and lots and lots of girlfriends.... Later on you'll get bored having girlfriends that you will then get yourself some boyfriends too....!" Ha-ha....! Kaya ako kuntento na sa just enough lang.... At least everystep of the way ay madami pa rin akong nakikitang mga surprises na nagbibigay kulay sa life ko.... Wow life daw o he-he....!

Ano naman kaya lasa nung gatas ng butiki....? Teka, may gatas ba ang butiki....? Heh! Tama ka na nga dyan Peng....! Turn-off na muna tong utak ko bago lalo pang gumulo tong usapan natin mamya he-he....! =D
