Lost Dreams. . .

This morning, after the mass, me and my friends decided to hang out. 
We stayed at our usual spot.
We talked about our lives.
The past, the present . . .and our LOST dreams...

All LOST, because we all fell in love...

________________________________________________________________________________

Biboy: Ate, what was your dream when you were young?
Me: Ako? I wanted to become a doctor, PERO I'm afraid of blood kaya I didn't pursue it.
Bert: Di ba pangarap mo din maging Geologist?
Me: Oo, naalala mo pa pala un?
Bert: Oo naman, nursery pa lang tayo nun pero yun ang una mong sinabi sa akin na dream mo. Isipin mo yun, 3 years old pa lang tayo, alam mo na yun? LUPET
Me: Gagu. Eh ikaw, diba hindi mo naman gusto maging Nurse.
Biboy: What was your dream kuya?
Mig: Simple lang pangarap niyan. Maging sikat na basketball player at magkaroon ng maraming girlfriend.
Tanni: Ang babaw talaga ng pangarap mo. Ayan, wala ka pa tuloy trabaho.
Mig: Ang yabang mo naman.
Tanni: Bakit? It's true. You, Mig, hindi ka pa nga graduate. Eh kung tutuusin ikaw pinakamayabang sa ating lahat that you're intelligent and that "I graduated from La Salle Greenhills and I'll take up Math as my Major in De La Salle University, Manila."
Me: Ayyyyy. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Tanni: Teka don't laugh, I'm not yet done with my speech.  And yeah, you failed and you were expelled because you joined the fraternity.  You transferred to De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde para La Salle School ka pa rin.  So you could continue being that obnoxious bully that you are.
Mig: Hoy Tanni below the belt na yan. Ikaw din naman ah, Lasalista ka. You even filed a 1 year LOA sa office because you got pregnant. 
Tanni: Well at least I graduated and I have a job now. Eh Ikaw?
Mig: Pero nde mo natupad ang dream mo.
Bert: Tanginang pagibig naman kasi yan.
Mig: Tawa ka greeca?
Me: Wala. Bakit ba? Masama tumawa?
Mig: Diba dapat nasa Canada ka na ngayon? Di mo lang maiwan yang Tigers mo.
Me: Yeah, pero malabo din kasi un future ko sa Canada e.
Bert: Pero nde mo pa rin maiwan un Tigers mo.
Me: Oo. Love ko sila eh.
Bert: May nakukuha ka bang kapalit?
Me: Meron naman, may friends ako na tulad nila.
Mig: Masaya ka ba? Buo ba puso mo? Di ba heartbroken ka ngayon?
Me: You know what? I really hate lasalistas. You can be totally brutally honest.
Mig: Ganun talaga.
Tanni: What if we didn't fall in love? Siguro naabot na natin mga dreams natin noh?
Biboy: Maybe. Basta ako, magaaral akong mabuti at hindi maiinlove.
Me: Hahaha. Sana magawa mo yan boy.
Mig: Paano nga kaya kung hindi kayo nainlove no?
Bert: Don't ask greeca. So far, sa atin, siya lang ang successful sa ating lahat.
Mig: Oo nga. Wag ka na greeca.
Me: Hindi rin. Ewan ko sa inyo.
Tanni: Ay wait. Are you gonna study ulit?
Me: I'm thinking pa where. UST or DLSU lang naman ako e.
Mig: DLSU na.
Me: Ewan ko. If I study sa DLSU, I have to work there. NOOOOOOOOOO.
Tanni: Hahahaha, I know why.
Me: Shit up Tanni. :))

Contentment

CONTENTMENT

Have you ever, at any one time, had the feeling that life is bad, real bad, and you wish you were in another situation?

You find life make things difficult for you, work sucks, life sucks, everything seems to go wrong...

Read the following story... it may change your views about life:

After a conversation with one of my friends, he told me despite taking 2 jobs, he brings back barely above 1K per month, he is happy as he is.

I wondered how he can be as happy as he is considering he has to scrimp through life with the low pay to support a pair of old parents, in-laws, a wife, 2 daughters and the many bills of a household.

He explained that it was through one incident that he saw in India...that happened a few years ago when he was really feeling low and touring India after a major setback.

He said that right in front of his very eyes he saw an Indian mother chop off her child's right hand with a chopper. The helplessness in the mother's eyes, the scream of pain from the innocent 4-year-old child haunted him until today.

You may ask why did the mother do so; had the child been naughty, had the child's hand been infected??

No, it was done for two simple words- - -TO BEG!

The desperate mother deliberately caused the child to be handicapped so that the child could go out to the streets to beg.

Taken aback by the scene, he dropped a piece of bread he was eating half-way. And almost instantly, a flock 5 or 6 children swamped towards this small piece of bread which was covered with sand, robbing bits from one another.

The natural reaction of hunger.

Stricken by the happenings, he instructed his guide to drive him to the nearest bakery. He arrived at two bakeries and bought every single loaf of bread he found in the bakeries. The owner was dumbfounded but willingly sold everything.

He spent less than $100 to obtain about 400 loaves of bread (this is less than $0.25 per loaf) and spent another $100 to get daily necessities.

Off he went in the truck full of bread into the streets. As he distributed the bread and necessities to the children (mostly handicapped)  and a few adults, he received cheers and bows from these unfortunate. For the first time in his life he wondered how people can give up their dignity for a loaf of bread which cost less than $0.25.

He began to tell himself how fortunate he is. How fortunate he is to be able to have a complete body, have a job, have a family, have the chance to complain what food is nice and what isn't nice, have the chance to be clothed, have the many things that these people in front of him are deprived of...

Now I begin to think and feel it, too! Was my life really that bad? Perhaps... no, I should not feel bad at all...

What about you? Maybe the next time you think you are, think about the child who lost one hand to beg on the streets.

"Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, it is the realization of how much you already have."

Deer Blog,

          Sabi ni Kotz Frans nung Monday, we are backed in a corners kaya kailangan meron kaming bagong gameplan for game 2.  Pikunin daw namin sila, asar-asarin basta kahit anong trashtalk para mawala consentrasion nila ...lalo na yang si Rabeh Al-Sashimi saka si Chris Tiu.  Sabi ko nga, "Kotz, how can we trashtalks Chris Tiu?  Meron bang mapipintas sa kanya?  And I doesn't know how to spokening Chinese."  Hindi sumagot si Kotz, nagtinginan lang sila ni Assistant Kotz Jack tapos parehong umiling.  I dont understood why.

          Bumulong sa akin si Jayvee.  Tigilan ko na raw yung mga inane na hirit ko kasi yun daw ang reason kung bakit hindi ako sinasama sa pers five ni Kotz.  Paano nangyari yun, eh di ko nga alam ibig sabihin ng "inane".  Tinanong ko si Walsham kung ano ang "inane".  Sabi niya yun daw ang kunukulong sa mental.  Ip dats true, dapat si David Joshua ang inane. Siya ang mukhang abnoy sa amin eh.

          Enyway, sabi rin ni Kots na mas sikipan daw namin ang fool court depense namin, and it bored fruits naman kasi nag dalawang early poul si Al-Sashimi.  Kaso di namin alam na maganda ang ipapakita ni Baldos saka si Jobe Mangkokolam. Pero we never gives up, basta kung kailangan hampasin yung kamay ni Reyes, Eskweta at Salamat para maagaw ang bola, gawin daw namin.  Kung pumito yung referee ng poul, umarte daw kami na kunwari prustreyted kami, gaya ng ginagawa ni Assistant Kotz Jack.  (Assistant Kotz Jack, ip your reading this, belated happy condolence nga pala.)

          It's beened 24 hours and hindi pa din ako nakaka sleep.  I'm reely hurts kasi hindi naman talaga ako nag derty pinger pero tinawagan ako ng second tecnical poul.  Na-eject tuloy ako.  Hindi naman masama yung ginawa ko ah.  Sabi ni sir Tony Atayde, ang meedle pinger na nakataas, ibig sabihin "Animo La Salle, We are number 1".  I olweys see him doing dat tuwing kinakausap niya yung reperees.  Parehong kamay pa nga eh.  (Next time I will told sir Tony na isang kamay na lang ang gamitin niya.  Kasi I realized kung boat hands ang gamit niya, it meens "We are number 2."  Isn't I smart?)

          Dinadaan ko na lang sa blog ang sama ng loob ko kasi feeling ko talaga dis year we are the championship again.  Ito na siguro ang pinakamahabang nasulat ko sa buong buhay ko.  As a mater op pact, kahit mga essay ko sa scool hindi umaabot ng ganito kahaba.

          Ayoko na.  I'm tired na talaga.  I'm tired nang ma-emmbbarrassedd (dinoble ko yung konsonants kasi di ko sigurado spelling) dahil lagi na lang ako pinapakain ni Baculao ng bola.  Nakakahiya sa isponsors ko na Adidas saka Nike dahil ang pogi ko sa posters nila pero supalpal naman ako ebery time sa kanya.  I hates him!  (Pati nga si Buenafe nasupalpal ako. I hates him too!)

          I'm siriusly considering na mag-PBA na lang ako.  Baka wala na si Baculao pagdating ko doon.  Hindi na rin kasi nagkakasya sa pamily ko sa Mindoro yung P200 monthly sponsorship fee sa akin ng Nike saka Adidas (combined na yun.).  Nagiging milyonaryo daw ang mga player sa PBA.  Asan kaya ang Job Fair nila?

          Hanggang dito na lang.  Sana makatulog na ako.


Love,

Rico
