while browsing the external disk, saw some videos of the reports i had produced for ANC bantay bata 163 segment. so disappointing that i couldn't upload it here. too big kasi... 6.4 GB ba naman. hehehe! it's lunch time here in my office... i am watching and reminiscin'. bakit parang mas beautiful ako before? dinaya siguro ni John Simeon Celi ang shots. hehehe! i feel happy to be reminded that i somehow have played a role in helping those children in need. even until now, i can't take parents who don't treat their children well in public. one time, while i was waiting for my jeepney ride in front of MTS, i saw this mother who was yelling at her sobbing 5-year old (my guess) kid, gikurot, gibatukan pa... i believe it was just because the poor kid wanted some french fries at McDonalds. Nilapitan ko talaga ang nanay,"mahiya ka naman sa sarili mo! anak mo ginapakaulawan nimo!" namula jud siya. i can only imagine how she deals with her kid when nobody's watching. no regrets for what i did. buti hindi ko siya sinampal. hahay... mga tao talaga... dinadamay ang mga bata sa kanilang mga sariling gawang problema. we have to protect and promote the rights of children... even in our own little ways kasi kung walang somebody who's willing to stand and fight then child abuse will never end. if we really think about it, our kids, my own little boy can possibly be a victim. kaya, i make it a point na kahit i don't work for bantay bata davao anymore, i say yes to hosting or other task where i can be a volunteer in their projects and other events. fulfilling jud!

igat-igat!

what a nice day we spent. good food, nice conversations, play... and smiles. :) camera... click... action!

jeepney ride

it would take 30 minutes estimate for me riding a jeepney going to the office for work. these for me are precious moments... moment to observe the lives of other people, people like me, mothers whose minds are divided by the baby left at home with yaya and the workload on the desk waiting. By the looks on their faces, I can very well see the worries by their frowns or cheerfulness by their grins and laughter whenever a funny predicament would set in. everyday is a new day for my jeepney ride, familiar and new faces, wet from rain seats or even mosquitoes under the seats, weird and hilarious things can be experienced every ride. Pinoy jud! i love to hear the whispered or sometimes loud conversations on politics, showbiz and all. hahaha! how i love to witness the arguments of drivers or pilots (konduktor bah!) and passengers over an excessive fare or if the drivers would miss to hear the "para" so the passengers would go down murmuring cursing the driver for being deaf. hahaha!
i always remember my brother-in-law, kuya ken. he is japanese and had never been to a jeepney ride all his life. it was his wish to ride one and see how quick pinoy drivers are that they are able to collect fares and drive fast at the same time. "they must be genius", he said. their last visit here was very short until it was too late to schedule for a jeepney ride. hope they are coming again someday soon. i will take a leave from work by then. i am missing my manang neng, maiko and kuya ken.

rain

i would like to believe that i feel happy when it rains but the truth is i feel all sort of emotions when it rains. most of the time, it is a time of reflection. the sound of raindrops make me wanna pee. hehehe! have a beautiful rainy day!
