Jobless No More!

Time to rejoice! Yep! I've got a new job and i'm happy about it and i hope they are happy having me, at least.
I found the job that matches my skills and talents and i know, God knows, i am made for this kind of job.
After 3 and more years serving the masses and the goverment (actually the people in the goverment), 3 and more years doing paper works and communication letters, 3 and more years of feeding the lamb, now it's my time to feed my hunger to learn more and i guess to think of my own welfare (kinda selfish, duh, co'mon, it's 3 and more years).
I am now a Computer and Network Service Technician at a computer cafe here along Legarda Place, Manila (along University Belt, you know where the rich and famous are). It's WebSoul Cafe and soon to be we will be having a website (i'm working on that right now because i have a one week deadline). It's a nice and cool place, so trendy and their Computers here are all high-end grade! They've got a fast internet connection and yeah, i am free on using it because i work here. My job is to make sure that all this high-end computer must run at their peak everytime the costumer needed it. Kinda hard job, but man, i told you, i'm made to this kind of job.
I love technology and i'm excited to learn something new. That's what computer gives me, whether i'm using it or repairing it. I hope God permits me to be in this job as long as i want it. So, bye, bye, cry, cry....bye, bye, bad days, my happy days is coming(actually fast approaching).

GMa 7 Jologs' Guide: A tour in the world of Trying Harder

Welcome to the world of "Jologs". Co' mon get in and ride to this new show hosted by Jologs Boombista, Ethel Booba, Jologs Patawa, Pekto and Jologs Porma, Rainer Castillo. They will guide us to the world of Jologs: The World of Trying Harder.
World of Trying Harder? Are you trying to say that jologs are trying hard? Nope, not really,what i mean is that, in Jologs World you're bound to try things a little harder than the normal way. Not because your a social climber but because it is their way, your way and my way to survive.
Eating in turo-turo is a jolog thing, but that's fine to me. They are eating in turo-turo not to build their character or to be makamasa, but because that's what their barya on bulsa can only aford! Got the point!? They are wearing ukay-ukay not to fool themselves that their wearing imported items, but because that's what their money can buy.
Actually Jologs is direct reciprocal of Coño, economically speaking that is. But actually they have the same traits. Watch this.
*********************************************************
Jologs-tao na umaastang mas mataas pa kasya sa kasalukuyan niyang estado at kalimitan ay walang paki-alam sa sasabihin ng tao lalo na sa pagdadala nya ng buhay
Coño-they are from the middle class-rich class part of society. They are always seen edging each other in the way they talk, walk, wear their clothes and gestures.
**********************************************************
Jologs- nagpipilit na haluaan ng salitang ingles ang usapang tagalog, kahit na ang kausap ay pawang mga kapwa Pilipino din
Coño-they are trying to out-wit each other or prove to the other that they are the better ones by using taglish (tagalog-english). This will make the effect that their family is from America, or they've lived at US or they are from a rich and wealthy family.
***********************************************************
Jologs- kumain ng Fishballs at Kikiam sa kanto kasi yun lang ang kinaya ng bulsa sa merienda.
Coño- they love to dine and wine in those classy resto and bars because they don't really know where and how to spend their money (actually those money are from MAMA and PAPA)
***********************************************************
Jologs-mahal na mahal nila ang BMX nila at kahit na naka-americana para mag-apply sa makati, harurot ito sa pagpadyak para makipag-unahan sa EDSA.
Coño-they love to ride in those fast and fancy cars and like to dig with those chocolate bars (lyrics ba ito ng Parokya?)
***********************************************************
Jologs-laging nakaporma o get-up, iihi lang sa pader dun sa kanto, naka-gel pa ang buhok at suot pa ang bago niyang all-star converse shoes na nabili nya sa muslim with matching baggy pants and orange shirts
Coño-they love to go in those spa and have a foot spa for their ingrown toes, to dye their hair in white or burgundy and trimmed their hair by Ricky Reyes. They love to shop for their clothes, they will buy a dozen in one store and buy a dozen again in one. Then at home, they will try to wear all of those shirt and be comportable to their pajama in bed.
************************************************************
But I know a man, who is a JOLOGS and COÑo in one! He is the Chairman of NAMFREL, yes the one who (buy) count your votes at elections in partnership with Garcillano, He is no other than Mr. Joe Con, Joe-LOGS Co-ÑO!

Waiting for a Job!

I've been standing here
Waiting for a Job on a Saturday
Resume on my back
Ultraviolet rays
Like posing for a mug shot on a precint
What the hell does it mean

I'm a family man
Straight from the can
I'm a thousand miles away
From my daughter and son!

My wife is getting tight
Won't let me out at night
You can't avoid the complications
When there's no beer at all

When the lightning strikes we fry
I'll drink my gin
I'll wipe my tears
Southbound in the sky

Another hungry man
Another reason gets you everyday
The only time that you can eat
Is when payday comes

Well, I'm caught up in a stupid job
So, dirty that I can't play
But I'm no stupid man
And I'm ready to resign

I've been sitting here
Surfing the net
To many emails to read
Spams from a porno site!

I am bleeding coffee
As my skin turns pale
I can't sleep at night
Damn, Jobhunting on my mind

The money is rolling
Like a rolling dough
Alone, I choose the road less traveled on

Now I'm lying here
Waiting for a call on a company
Dreaming for a highly paid salary
Job that will treat me fairly
Time is all it takes
But pains get in the way

improvised lyrics of "Waiting for a Bus" by the Eraserheads from the album "Cutterpillow"
So, it means that some part of this poems are originally from the song but i deleted some part of it to suite in to my lifestyle.
Grabe! Hirap mag-english! Naisip ko kasi yung song, lalo na at idol ko rin ang Eraserheads at sinubukan ko naman na ibahin yung ibang salita para mapabatid ko ng mabuti ang damdaming gusto kong ipabatid! Hindi ko kasi madiretso eh, sana marunong kayong magbasa between the lines. Syanga pala nakikinig ako sa "Nasaan Ka" ng Pupil ngayon habang ginagawa ko ito.
Salamat! Enjoy!

I need a new JOB(for crying out loud!)

I am in a hunt today. Nope i'm not a head-hunter or an adventurer, i'm one of those million people in the Philippines right now who's looking for a job.
Actually, i'm not jobless, i still have my job here at Provincial Goverment of Tarlac(I am an Admin. Aide III, it means sosyal na alalay ng politiko! Got it!?). My job is great, i got a good salary compared to those who's here at the province and my boss is great too. So, ano ang problema, nag-iinarte ka na naman #@%*&^%$#@#!. Well, hindi naman kailangan ko lang siguro ng bagong pagkaka-abalahan.
Matagal na rin ako dito, mga 2 years and 4 months na(actually mahigit 3 years na kasi 1 year akong walang pangalan na empleyado dito). Masaya, masaya ang buhay, kwento duon, chika dito, pag may trabaho, talagang may trabaho, pero pag walang ginagawa, wala ka talagang ginagawa at pwede ka pang matulog. Eh, bakit ka nga naghahanap ng bagong trabaho?
I need to grow, yeah! tama ka, parang halaman, i need to improve, parang muscles and i think i need a new enviroment and a new career para mangyari ang mga panaginip ko na yun.
Beside, kalalabas lang ng baby boy ko! (Marcelino Jason, nice name, old and new) kaya naisip ko rin na dapat mabago na rin ang lifestyle ko. Hindi ako habang-buhay na malakas, di ako habang buhay na magiging presentable, kaya habang maaga pa dapat na makapag-ipon na ako ng ibang pang skills maliban pa sa nalalaman ko na ngayon.....at higit sa lahat, mag-2 years na ako dito at di pa rin ako regular.
Sayang naman ang talents na ipinakita ko dito(kung meron man), kahit na anong mangyari, di ako pwedeng maregular. Kahit tumambling pa ako ng pitong ulit sa apat na sulok ng opis namin, di ako mareregular kasi co-terminus at casual lang kami. Every six-months, parang laging nag-aaply, nagpapass ng bagong resume. Tapos pagnatanggal na ang boss mo sa position, wenkz! tigok ka rin, layas na rin sa lungga mo, O di ba sayang lahat ng pinaghirapan mo kasi mapupunta lang sa wala.
Kaya di ko na hihintayin yun oras na yun na ipagtabuyan pa ako at magmukhang basang sisiw na walang masilungan, ngayon na, panahon ko ay dumating na! wenkz.
Well kaninang umaga nagtry ako na mag-apply bilang HR personnel sa isang company dito, tinanong kung ano tinapos ko at di naman ako Bachelors Degree kaya hinataw ko sya sa experience ko, well maganda naman ang naging sagot nung nag-interview sa akin sa phone sa labas ng gate nung company(huhuhu, Diyos ko! ayaw kong maging dukha), tatawagan na lang daw nya ako, sabi ko sana bibigyan ko sya ng panload para matawagan nya ako anytime.
Kaya eto, waiting.....waiting...and waiting pa rin.
Ate, Kuya baka may alam ka naman trabahao na pwede kong pasukan, di naman ako malakas kumain eh, at wala pa rin ako napatay. Pwede mo akong e-mail o kaya tawagan.......09165546245 walang S.O.P ha, baka matanggap ng misis ko lagot ako dun, stick to one pa naman ako.
Trabaho...................
Trabaho..............................
Tarabaho, Gloria nababasa mo ba ito, kailangan ko po ng bagong trabaho, gaya ng mahigit isang milyon PIlipino naghahanap ngayon ng trabaho.
(di mo pa alam ang lahat ng kwento, kaya stay-tuned ka dito, galit ako sa mga ganid at taong-lobo, grrrrrr... alam nyo ba tinutukoy ko?)

Proc. 1017: State of National EMERGENCY!

Last week lang, ay binawi na ni Pangulong GMA ang Proc.1017 o ang State of National Emergency. Pero sa totoo lang, hindi naganap ang mga inaasahan ko na dapat maganap sa proclamation na iyon ng pangulo.
Kaya ngayon, iisa-isahin ko ang mga inaasahan ko na mangyari dapat sa diskarte na iyon ng pangulo. Sayang naman kung sasarilinin ko lang ito, di ba? Kaya share ko naman sa inyo.
1. Sa State of National Emergency, itatake over ng gobyerno ang mga private at public corporation at establishment at bababa panandalian si GMA bilang pangulo at si ARNOLD CLAVIO muna ang papalit bilang presidente sa panahon ng National EMEGENCY!
2. Lahat ng Riot Police sa mendiola ay magleleave of absence muna dahil papalitan sila ng mga PARAMEDIC at RESCUE WORKERS upang bantayan ang mga nahihimatay at nasasaktan sa mga rally dahil sa National EMERGENCY!
3. Lahat ng armored van at mga tanke ng gobyerno na nagbabantay sa palasyo ng Malankanyang ay papalitan ng mga AMBULANSYA upang makaresponde kaagad sa mga sakuna na dulot ng National EMERGENCY!
4. Lahat ng doctor ay papapasukin ng 24 hours sa lahat ng Hospital upang tumao at mag-abang sa mga sugatan dulot ng National EMEGENCY!
5. Lahat ng mga botika ay bubuksan ng magdamagan upang mapagbilhan ng gamot ang mga taong nangangailangan dahil sa National EMERGENCY!
6. Lahat ng Fire Truck ay pupunuin ng tubig at iikot sa buong National Capital Region habang nagsisirena ng beinte-kwatro oras para mapaghandaan ang mga pangyayari sa National EMERGENCY!
7. Dahil magkamukha naman si Susan Enriquez at si GMA, gagawin muna syang spokeperson ng palasyo habang sumisigaw ng "kay SUSAN tayo" bunga na rin ng National EMERGENCY!
8. Lahat ng Bumbero ay ipapakalat sa buong Pilipinas para mag-ayos ng mga sirang gripo sa mga kabahayan, ito ay Serbisyo Publiko nila sa National EMERGENCY!
9. Bibili ng Game na "RED ALERT" ang lahat ng GENERALS sa buong Pilipinas at inenetwork nila ang lahat ng computer sa mga kampo ng sundalo para makapaglaro sila ng sabay-sabay, ito ang benipisyong makukuha nila sa National Emergengy!
10. Maiisip ni PGMA na mas maganda kung wala na sya sa Malakanyang kaya bababa muna sya sa pwesto at makikipagpalit kay ARNOLD CLAVIO upang maging host ng EMERGENCY! Ang saya noh!
Sana mabasa ito ni PGMA para malaman nya na mali pala ang mga naging diskarte nya sa nakaraang Proclamation nya ng 1017 o State at National Emergency at muli syang humarap sa publiko at banggitin ang wala niyang kamatayang mga katagang "I am sorry".

The Police: Mesage in a Box

Whew! I've got this rare and old album of The Police last week and my world turns up-side-down! HIndi ito yung Pinoy Band na D' Pulis, yung kumanta ng "Mukhang Paa" na may album name na "Pulis Heart" tapos yung bokalista nila ay yung nasa commercial ng Yakult yung nagsasabi ng "OK ka ba Tyan!?"
Well so much of that. Why rare and old! Kasi naka-cassete format pa! Yes, meron pa ganun klase ng recording ngayon kahit ang mundo ay puno na ibang-ibang teknolohiya.
So, what's the fuzz? Nothing really, sabagay sa mga new generation music fanatic dyan sino nga ba ang The Police.
Hey! Di pa ako matanda ano! Ang una ko na close-encounter sa The Police ay sa pamamagitan lamang ng isang music review ng isang fanatic.(yes, kahit na naging isa akong local music disc jockey dito sa isang local radio FM station dito sa Tarlac, di ko pa natandaan na napatugtog ko ang mga kanta ng The Police.) Kaya malalim ang music taste ko kasi dati ako DJ, hehe!
Well sino ba itong credible writer na ito? (actually wala syang kwenta). Joke! hehe!idol ko po ito, sya lang naman si Jessica Zafra, with the capital Z. Actually ganyan daw talaga ang mga writer, nagbibigayan at nagbabasa ng mga info sa mga kapwa writer(nagbuhat ng lamesa).
Eh! ano naman ang kinalaman at nalalaman ni Jessica Zafra para tumaas ang credibilidad nya sa music?
Actually, i can put my trust on Jessica Zafra alone, without the music history muna, nanalo lang naman na sya ng Palanca Award (co'mon, halos lahat ng writer pangarap yan) kung di ako nagkakamali sa Short Story na "Manananggal sa Maynila" na naging movie na rin yata. Nagsusulat din sya dati sa Broad Sheet, name ng article nya is Twisted. So, what the hell! ano kinalaman nya sa music(screaming loud).
Naging Manager lang naman sya ng No.1 Pinoy Alternative Rock Band of All-time: The Eraserheads at sya ang nagsulat ng Fruitcake, yung book version ng Cristmass Album ng Eraserheads with the same nameeee!!!!!!..................................................
silence........................................................
take a deep breath..........................................
San na nga ba tayo? Ah! oo sa The Police pala. Ok well, last week nga ay nakabili ako ng album ng The Police:Message in a Box, a cassete version of all their recordings.
The verdict: well the music sounds good to me, less all the awards that they have. Sounds like an old Solid Rock Band and not pretending to be one. When i say "solid rock" what i mean is its a true-blooded rock music/song. Hindi tunog boy-band, kuha nyo. Kahit hindi gaano mabigat yung mga drums at hindi gaano namumutakti sa lead, alam mo at tunog rock pa rin sya, yun ang "solid rock" para sa akin at yun ang The Police.
Some of the song ng The Police na familiar at lagi na nating naririnig(kung hindi pa, tanong mo sa tatay at nanay mo ito) "Roxanne", "Everything she does is Magic", "Every breath you take", "King of Pain", "De Do Do Do De Da Da Da"(what an illiterate song!joke, well ang composer lang naman nila ay dating isang English Teacher and his name is Gordon Matthew Summer aka Sting at ang on-air name ko naman is Jads Summer! Not bad!), and "Message in the Bottle" (kung saan dito rin kinuha yun name ng compilation album at dito ko rin kinuha yun additonal name ng Blog ko: Message in a Blog!). This are just some of their more than a dozen hits sa US BillBoards at Rock Hall of Fame lang naman sila.
Well, not bad for me 'coz i've got this album for only 350 pesos! 4 cassete tapes in one Box! This is part of history at kahit cassete format ito, sure naman ako na hindi pirated ito. I hate pirated items and theres nothing beats the real thing!
