the most wonderful night…

Posted in Uncategorized on April 20, 2009 by margeflores

Last night was the most wonderful night of my existence. For I learned to let go. Until then I believed that in order to gain something you really want, one needs to work hard to achieve it. Everything I have right now I earned through lots of self control, perspiration and unbreakable discipline. I worked my heart out in everything I do. Coz I believe in the power of will.

But I was wrong. We don’t have the power to control everything aside from our own choices.

Complications always arise…

But I learned to let go… and it’s the hardest thing I’ve done.

Last night was the most wonderful night of my life. I learned that I’m brave enough to let go.

erwin’s lap dance!

Posted in Uncategorized on April 20, 2009 by margeflores

musicbox-Stand up comedy bars have changed the landscape of the Filipino nightlife. But not all comedy bars are created equal. One of the stand-out humor posts is Music Box. Bordering at the corners of Timog Avenue and Quezon Avenue, Music Box showcases the talents of comedians whose brand of hilarity is quite spontaneous sans the rude jokes.

Erwin will surely never forget his lap dance with the tune of “Aray” given by the very generous “Ella V.” and im sure as hell that I will never forget seeing him there whimpering like a child trying to avoid our gaze and at the same time hiding his face. It was really funny! While Erwin was hiding his face, Ella V was busy moving his sexy hips atop Erwin!biggrin 😀 biggrin 😀 biggrin 😀

And Erwin, don’t worry, Ella v might be gay but he sure has the body of a bombshell and the heart of a lady!

Treasure the experience! Haha!

biggrin 😀 biggrin 😀 biggrin 😀 biggrin 😀 biggrin 😀 biggrin 😀 biggrin 😀 biggrin 😀 biggrin 😀 biggrin 😀 biggrin 😀

Mahal ko ang mga libro ni Bob Ong!

Mahal ko ang mga libro ni Bob Ong!

Bukod sa nuong nasa college ako ay mas can afford kong bilhin ang mga libro nya kumpara sa mga New York Times Bestsellers nina Sidney Sheldon at Stephen King, ay iba si Bob Ong. Iba bumanat. Simple pero swak sa kiliti at sapul ang bawat emosyong pinoy.

Here are some of my favorite lines from his books.

ABNKKBSNPLAko?!
Bakit Baliktad Magbasa ng Libro ang mga Pilipino?
Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas
Alamat ng Gubat
Stainless Longganisa
McArthur


“nalaman kong hindi final exam ang passing rate ng buhay. hindi ito multiple choice, identification, true or false, enumeration or fill-in-the-blanks na sinasagutan kundi essay na isinusulat araw-araw. Huhusgahan ito hindi base sa kung tama o mali ang sagot, kundi base sa kung may kabuluhan ang mga isinulat o wala. Allowed ang erasures.”

“…mas marami pa s’yang alam kesa sa nakasulat sa Transcript of Records n’ya, mas marami pa s’yang kayang gawin kesa sa nakalista sa resume n’ya, at mas mataas ang halaga n’ya kesa sa presyong nakasulat sa payslip n’ya tuwing sweldo.”

“…madaming teacher sa labas ng eskwelahan. desisyon mo kung kanino ka magpapaturo.”

“mag-aral maigi; kung titigil ka sa pag-aaral, manghihinayang ka sa pagtanda mo dahil hindi mo naranasan ang kakaibang ligayang dulot ng mga araw na walang pasok o suspendido ang klase o absent ang teacher.”

“iba ang informal gramar sa mali!!!”

“Masama akong tao, tulad mo, sa parehong paraan na mabuti kang tao, tulad ko.”

“kung kabayo gagawa ng libro mahirap maging palaging politically correct para sa mga damo”

“Wag magmadali sa pag-aasawa. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon sa hinaharap, mag-iiba pa ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong di pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang sa kaboses niya si Debbie Gibson o magaling mag-breakdance. Totoong mas importante ang kalooban ng tao higit anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan sa eskwelahan e nagmumukha ring pandesal. Maniwala ka.”

“hikayAtin m0 LahAt ng kakilala m0 na mAgkaro0n kahit isA man lang paboritong libro sa bu0ng buhay nilA..dahil walA ng mas nakakaawa pa sa mga ta0ng literado per0 hindi nagbabAsa “

“kung paniniwalaan namin kayo na hindi naglaro ng tubig kahit na basa ang damit n’yo, kayo ang niloloko namin; hindi kayo ang nakapanloloko.”

“dalawang dekada ka lang mag-aaral. kung ‘di mo pagtityagaan, limang dekada ng kahirapan ang kapalit.sobrang luri. kung alam lang ‘yan ng mga kabataan, sa pananaw ko ehh walang gugustuhing umiwas sa eskwela.”

“Para san ba ang cellphone na may camera?Kung kailangan sa buhay un, dapat matagal na kong patay.”

“ayokong nasasanay sa mga bagay na pwede namang wala sa buhay ko “

“iba ang walang ginagawa sa gumagawa ng wala”

“mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala”

“Titingnan mo ba ang basong kalahating bawas o kalahating puno?”

“hindi dahil sa hindi mo naiintindihan ang isang bagay ay kasinungalingan na ito. at hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohanan.”

“bakit ba ayaw matulog ng mga bata sa tanghali, alam ba nilang pag natuto silang umibig e hindi na sila makakatulog kahit gusto nila?

“hindi lungkot o takot ang mahirap sa pag-iisa kundi ang pagtanggap na sa bilyon-bilyong tao sa mundo, wala man lang nakipaglaban upang makasama ka.”

“Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!”

“hinahanap mo nga ba ako o ang kawalan ko?”

“Kumain ka na ng siopao na may palamang pusa o maglakad sa bubog nang nakayapak, pero wag na wag kang susubok mag-drugs. Kung hindi mo kayang umiwas, humingi ka ng tulong sa mga magulang mo dahil alam nila kung saan ang mga murang supplier at hindi ka nila iisahan.”

“Mag-aral maigi. Kung titigil ka sa pag-aaral, manghihinayang ka pagtanda mo dahil hindi mo naranasan ang kakaibang ligayang dulot ng mga araw na walang pasok o suspendido ang klase o absent ang teacher. (Haaay, sarap!).”

“Mangarap ka at abutin mo. Wag mong sisihin ang sira mong pamilya, palpak mong syota, pilay mong tuta, o mga lumilipad na ipis. Kung may pagkukulang sa’yo mga magulang mo, pwde kang manisi at maging rebelde. Tumigil ka sa pag-aaral, mag-asawa ka, mag-drugs ka, magpakulay ka ng buhok sa kili-kili. Sa banding huli, ikaw din ang biktima. Rebeldeng walang napatunayan at bait sa sarili.”

“Tuparin ang mga pangarap. Obligasyon mo yan sa sarili mo. Kung gusto mo mang kumain ng balde-baldeng lupa para malagay ka sa Guinness Book of World Records at maipagmalaki ng bansa natin, sige lang. Nosi balasi. wag mong pansinin ang sasabihin ng mga taong susubok humarang sa’yo. Kung hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon, hindi pa rin tayo dapat nakatira sa jupiter ngayon. Pero hindi pa rin naman talaga tayo nakatira sa jupiter dahil nga hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon. Kita mo yung moral lesson?”

“Nalaman kong marami palang libreng lecture sa mundo, ikaw ang gagawa ng syllabus. Maraming teacher sa labas ng eskuwelahan, desisyon mo kung kanino ka magpapaturo. Lahat tayo enrolled ngayon sa isang university, maraming subject na mahirap, pero dahil libre, ikaw ang talo kung nag-drop ka. Isa-isa tayong ga-graduate, iba’t-ibang paraan. tanging diploma ay ang mga alaala ng kung ano mang tulong o pagmamahal ang iniwan natin sa mundong pinangarap nating baguhin minsan…””

“Sabi nila, sa kahit ano raw problema, isang tao lang ang makakatulong sa’yo – ang sarili mo. Tama sila. Isinuplong ako ng sarili ko. Kaya siguro namigay ng konsyensya ang Diyos, alam niyang hindi sa lahat ng oras e gumagana ang utak ng tao.”

“Obligasyon kong maglayag, karapatan kong pumunta sa kung saan ko gusto, responsibilidad ko ang buhay ko.”

“Nalaman kong habang lumalaki ka, maraming beses kang madadapa. Bumangon ka man ulit o hindi, magpapatuloy ang buhay, iikot ang mundo, at mauubos ang oras.”

“Masama akong tao, tulad mo, sa parehong paraan na mabuti kang tao, tulad ko.”

“Hikayatin mo lahat ng kakilala mo na magkaroon ng kahit isa man lang paboritong libro sa buhay nila. Dahil wala nang mas kawawa pa sa mga taong literado pero hindi nagbabasa.”

“Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala.”

“Pare, isa kang totoong tao at walang halong kasinungalingan.
In English, FACT you, pare. Totoo ka. In English, FACT you!”

So into you…

Posted in Uncategorized on February 23, 2009 by margeflores

Reasons are so off these past few days.

When it comes to decisions over you, they seem to be avoiding my path, funny but I’m liking it at the moment.

I just need to learn to handle the pain later. But the hell with pain. I know I can get over it for a time. I’m loving this moment. So pain can eat me when it’s through.

Just like the way it should always be.

I have never felt this good about someone before. And I never thought that I would be saying that stupid lovesick line.

Funny. How you made me feel so vulnerable. You’ve broken the wall I’ve spend my whole existence building.

Gone, shattered into pieces.

So vulnerable.

So open to pain.

So letting you in.

Just to let you in, I’m not just opening my door, I’m destroying my whole world.

I’ve obliterated my comfort zone.

Redecorating the whole castle the way you will want to stay.

Turning pinks into blues, from ribbons to pirate hooks…

The most stupid part of this stupid fantasy is the fact that I don’t know if you will want to be a part of it.

Yet you’ve had the biggest room in my castle already.

“My castle”… I like the sound of that… being again, so into fairy tales. Just like a lovesick child. Ideal. Romantic. Fairy tales. Happy ever afters.

Hell… Look what you’ve done… You’re turning me into something I’ve dreaded being… I never wanted to be this way. I never wanted to do things beyond reasons. Beyond my control. Beyond something I know will hurt me in the end.

Beyond me.

And so into you.

I never knew this day would come. When everything I thought of coming comes….

Each and every one of my dreams, I made them with only you by my side.

Now I’m surrounded with many different people.

Some do understand while others just don’t have the time to mind.

I looked around, trying to see your face in the cloud of strangers.

Wishing to share everything I have right now.

Hoping to tell you how I made it here.

And how I’m almost getting it.

There’s no one else worthy enough to tell.

Than you who teach me how to dream.

You, who wipe tears off my face whenever I cry and started loosing grip.

I’m still hoping that one day, when both our dreams finally made it.

We too are still heading the same path.

The path where we started everything.

Even setting goals that are far beyond reach.

Yet seemed near with you around.

I’m simply wishing you were here.

I’m missing you…

Knowing when to let go…

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , on January 5, 2009 by margeflores

letting_go_by_fallinginpanic1When you know you’re fighting a losing battle… do yourself a favor, let go.

After doing every possible thing to win, then still feeling the pain, let go.

After waiting for a long time then having nothing in return… let go.

After crying yourself to sleep in endless nights then waking up just to cry again… let go.

After cursing yourself for being so stupid… let go.

Honey, feeling the pain, and trying to ignore it is the most crucial thing…

Knowing you don’t have the cure hurts even more…

wanting to stop the pain…

Do yourself a favor… save yourself from the pain… let go. Honey… let go.

the next flag

I’ve been working on something new lately… and I’m
trying like hell to give it everything I can literally give.

I’m into something I’ve been dreaming to since the
day my mind can conceive thoughts. And
now I’m here… its not as easy at it looks. I’ve suffered endless frustrations and unlimited stress. I’ve undergone
countless emotional breakdowns that you wouldn’t even imagine… and now I’m
here…

And everything
is so frustrating…

I thought it will all end here. This part is supposed
to be my finish line, then comes the CBB accompanied by a melodramatic scoring!

But yet the film is
still rolling… WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?

What am I supposed to do now? Where should I go?

I was supposed to stop here!
It was supposed to end here!
Everything should end here
now!

I should be waving my colors now…

Where should I go?  Should I go straight?

Should I follow my supposed winning finish line?

Should I make another path?

Now?

Seriously?

This part wasn’t on the plan… I really don’t know the
next chapter.

I’m starting something… just something…

Lets just put it this way…

I’ve gone this far and it will take one hell of that
“something” to stop me from getting my
new flag!

NBN @ MarCommAsia

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , on October 3, 2008 by margeflores

Marcomm Asia’s first international exhibition and conference held last September 24-26, 2008 at the World Trade Center, Manila.

Whew! We’re destined to be there!

Given only a day to prepare for the booth, modesty aside, I’d say we really are that good!

Day one…

So much to do, so little time…

We took the road jam packed, squeezing ourselves and our equipment at a small van. Everyone is carrying loads of stuff. The Mac Pro, 1 camera, 3 redhead lights, tripod, and a lot more. Our strained shoulders didn’t stop us nor the strong rain.

Day two…

We went at the convention on an earlier time. Hoping to get a pass at Manila’s heavy traffic. We attended seminars relatively about marketing, advertising, the Internet and many others given by people behind the country’s giant advertising agencies.

And another thing, we did have fun looking around each booth… specially those things they’re giving away… : )

Day three…

We want to make a clear impression that we are the country’s Information Channel.

We don’t intend to go lower than that.

Frankly, we did it with so much grace! = )
