Baliw na Blog Post
Cielo: Kumusta ka naman, friend?
Friend: Ayos naman ako.
Cielo: Eh ang puso mo, kumusta?
Friend: Ayos lang din ang puso ko. Matagal nang nakalaya mula sa isang pangyayari na naging daan sa maraming pagbabago sa buhay ko.
Cielo: Masaya ako para sa'yo.
Friend: Salamat. Natutunan ko na rin ang magpatawad at tanggapin ang mga bagay bagay. Minsan talaga, may mga taong darating sa buhay natin hindi para makasama natin habambuhay kundi para dumaan lang at turuan tayo ng maraming leksyon.
Cielo: Tulad ng?
Friend: Magmahal ng wagas. Yung klase ng pagmamahal na walang pag-aalinlangan. Yung buong-buo. Yung walang hinihinging kapalit. Pero nakakapagod rin pala ang magmahal ng ibang tao. Kaya kalaunan, natutunan ko rin ang mahalin ang sarili ko. Yung sasabihin mo nalang na, 'Awat na. Ibinigay mo na ang lahat, this time, sarili mo naman ang pasayahin mo.'
Cielo: Wow, ang lalim ng hugot mo friend.
Friend: Alam mo yan.
Cielo: Oh, tapos?
Friend: Ayun, these past few days, I started to build myself again. Gawin ang mga bagay na gustong gusto kong gawin noon.
Cielo: Like?
Friend: Joining some orgs., writing more stories, go places, buy the things I ever wanted for myself before, and meeting new people as well as gaining new friends! Ang saya 'di ba? Pakiramdam ko lately, I'm starting to get out of the box called comfort zone. Marami akong mga bagay na sinusubukang gawin ngayon.... ng mag-isa. Ang sarap palang maging single ulit! After a long time, feeling ko isa na akong ibon ngayon na unti-unting tumataas ang lipad at marami pang lugar na gustong lakbayin. Pati na ang langit. I want to go above the clouds!
Cielo: Nakakatuwa ka namang tignan ngayon, friend. Parang dati lang basag na basag ka. Laging umiiyak, nag-ra-rant, nagdadrama at laging inaalala ang mga nakaraan ninyo. You even went to self pity and self-deprivation. At nagkaroon ka rin ng suicidal mindset. Hahaha! Ang baliw mo lang dati, friend.
Friend: Hoy Cielo! Past is past. Mag-move on ka na. Ako nga naka fast forward na eh. Haha. Dati iyon noh. Awat na!
Cielo: Kaya nga sabi ko dati di ba? Dati.
Friend: Huwag mo na nga kasing ungkatin ang nakaraan. Ang mahalaga na ngayon ay ang kasalukuyan pati na ang hinaharap.
Cielo: Wala kang hinaharap, friend. 32-B lang yan. Hahaha!
Friend: Hoy! Kanina ka pa nangbabasag ah! Yung totoo, kaibigan ba talaga kita?
Cielo: Hindi, hindi. Hindi mo ako kaibigan,FRIEND. Ako ang iyong konsensya. Kaloka to! Kaya nga "friend". Ganun talaga kapag kaibigan, kailangang magsabi ng katotohanan. Hehehe. Back to the topic, so masaya ka naman ba ngayon?
Friend: Oo naman, super! As in! Kasi finally, nagagawa ko na yung mga nasa bucket list ko and I can also feel that everything is being on its proper place. Kaya sobrang saya ko lang talaga. Good thing is, hindi lang pala sa opposite sex matatagpuan ang kasiyahan ng isang tao. Alam mo naman ako dati di ba? Masyado kong dinepende ang buhay ko sa kanya kaya marami akong nalampasan. Pero ngayon, nakikita ko na silang lahat at masaya ako dahil sa maraming bagay sa paligid ko. Super thanks to that major heartache because I am who I am right now.
Cielo: Wow. Mukhang pati perspective mo sa buhay malaki na rin ang pagbabago, friend. I am really super happy for you.
Friend: Thanks! Thanks! Ito ngang to-do list ko sobrang haba pa. Pero at least, isa-isa ko na silang nagagawa during my free time. As you know, lahat ng free time ko noon ay buhos sa isang tao. Pero hindi na ngayon! Haha.
Cielo: Balita ko may special someone ka na ngayon ah. Kumusta ang status? Bukas na bang muli ang puso para sa isang panibagong pag-ibig?
Friend: ......
Cielo: Hoy, sumagot ka! Huwag kang pabebe diyan! Kumusta na kayo ni Ano?
Friend: Actually, naguguluhan pa ako ngayon eh. Insert sad and confuse face here.
Cielo: Oh, bakit? I-kwento na yan!
Friend: We've been talking already for months. He knows my story. Ganun din naman ako. Alam ko na halos ang kwento ng buhay niya. We like each other. Actually no. Kasi ang sabi niya lately, mahal na daw niya ako. Ang sabi ko sa kanya noon, let's take things slowly since I'm starting to find and rebuild myself now. Kaso hindi nagpaawat si Ano eh. Sa paglipas daw ng mga araw ay mas lalo niya akong minamahal. I don't know what to do or to say or to react towards him anymore. I have so many fears, worries and doubts inside my head.
Cielo: Ang tanong, friend. Gusto mo na ba siya? As in yung outside the friendzone ha. Nakikita or naiimagine mo ba siya as your future partner? Huwag mo akong titigan ng ganyan! Sagutin mo ako, gaga!
Friend: Ang hyper mo noh? Eto na nga sasagot na. Oo gusto ko na siya, more than a friend. Minsan nga pakiramdam ko mahal ko na rin siya. Pero minsan naman feeling ko hindi pa. Ang labo ko noh? Parang tubig poso lang. But I so much care about him. Lagi ko siyang naiisip..From the moment I wake-up and before I go to sleep. Kaya lang kasi....
Cielo: Kaya lang ano?
Friend: Feeling ko, hindi pa talaga ako ready na pumasok sa isang relasyon ngayon. Yung pagmamahal na nararamdaman niya para sa akin, hindi ko pa kayang tumbasan o tapatan man lang iyon. Natatakot rin ako na isugal ulit ang puso ko. Kasi nga kabubuo ko pa lang nito eh. Tapos yung mga bagay na ginagawa ko ngayon para sa sarili ko, baka itapon ko na namang lahat ito. You know that I am such an ever dedicated and loyal partner. Natatakot na akong magkamali at maging tanga ulit nang dahil sa pag-ibig. Siguro kasi nandito ako sa part ng buhay ko ngayon na dependent sa sarili at naka-focus sa mga bagay na gusto ko talagang gawin as a single person. Iyong malaya mula sa kahit kanino. No curfews, no rules, no commitments, no responsibility with someone special.
Cielo: Pero papaano si Ano? Hindi ba parang pinapaasa mo siya sa wala?
Friend: Iyon nga rin ang iniisip ko. Minsan gusto ko nalang siyang patigilin sa ginagawa niyang panunuyo sa akin. He strongly believes too that I will get "there" soon. Ayoko talaga siyang paasahin pero kasi totoo naman na may nararamdaman na rin ako para sa kanya. But maybe hindi pa nga lang kasing-tindi ng nararamdaman niya para sa akin. Alam mo yung gusto ko kasi sana, whatever he feels for me will be the same thing I feel for him. Para fair ang buhay. But who says life is fair? It will always be unfair. Hays. Ang gulo. Haha. Nababaliw na ako.
Cielo: Baliw ka nga at ang labo mong kausap. But I can see your point though. Parang ayaw mo siyang saktan at ayaw mo ring masaktan. Sometimes we have to take the risk para malaman natin ang mga sagot sa mga katanungan natin. Friend: Parang sasabog na ang puso ko. Buti nalang kinausap mo ko.
Cielo: Ramdam kasi kita.
Friend: Hindi ko talaga alam. Pero sabi naman niya, willing daw siyang maghintay. I am worth the wait and the risk daw.
Cielo: Worth it ka naman talagang mahalin, Friend. You're a great and unique woman and you deserve to be loved truly. The question is, may hinihintay nga ba siya sa'yo? I mean, you know, kung may pag-asa ba na maging kayo in the future.
Friend: Pwede ko bang sabihin sa kanya na pwede ko rin siyang i-reject in the future?
Cielo: Gaga! Dapat nung una pa lang, sinabi mo na yan. Hindi lahat ng manliligaw na pinaghihintay ng matagal ay Yes ang sagot.
Friend: Hindi ko kaya, friend. Ayokong makasakit ng feelings. I know how it felt to be rejected. Alam mo yan. Been there done that. Kaya nga iyong sakit na naranasan ko noon, ayokong maranasan din iyon ng ibang tao.
Cielo: Lahat ng tao nasasaktan, friend. Huwag kang feeling bayani diyan. Haaaaaaaay naku ka.
Friend: Minsan nga gusto ko nalang sabihin sa kanya na sukuan na niya ako, na iwan na niya ako tutal sanay naman na ako sa bagay na 'yon.
Cielo: Huwag kang emo! Puro ka hugot. Give time to yourself. Malay natin, mahal mo talaga siya pero natatakot ka lang talaga at gaya nga ng sabi mo ay hindi ka pa talaga handa.
Friend: I hate myself.
Cielo: And I hate you too. De, joke lang. Siguro, i-explain mo nalang muna yang nararamdaman mo sa kanya. Mahal ka nun, maiintindihan niya yang pinagdaraanan mo. If you will not love him back in the future, then let it be. After all, it is his choice to wait for you. Nasa kanya ang risk na masaktan at hindi mo yon kasalanan. He loved you voluntarily. Kung mapapagod naman siya kakahintay, karapatan din niya ang magpahinga or either tumigil na. Basta ikaw, tuloy ang buhay mo. Do all the things you wanted to do para wala ka na ulit regrets in the future.
Friend: Nakakaiyak ang speech mo.
Cielo: Ganun talaga. Writer ako eh. Kailangan madama mo ang bawat salitang binibitiwan ko. Pero hindi rin, mas mahugot ka friend. Magkaibigan nga tayo.
Friend: Hindi tayo magkaibigan. Ikaw ang aking konsensya 'di ba?
Cielo: Sabi ko nga. Oh, umalis ka na diyan sa harap ng salamin. Natatabunan mo ang ganda ko eh. Ganda ko lang! :p
Friend: Ewan ko sa'yo! Mag-update ka na ng mga manuscripts mo hindi yung puro pag-ba-blog ang inaatupag mo. Hindi mo 'to ikayayaman.
Cielo: Wow, Jaydee Vega, ikaw ba yan?
Friend: Hindi. Ako ang iyong konsensya, CieloAmethyst.
Cielo: Edi wow.
Friend: Ayos naman ako.

“If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.” – Buddha
It was Math day once again!
Before the program started, a short orientation for the volunteers was held and lead by Teacher Jedda. This orientation consisted of Project Pearls - After School Program’s objectives and activities and also volunteers’ dos and don’ts.
As for the usual practice, each volunteer will handle one section. And per section consist of three to four students.
The students entered the venue and sit to the assigned area according to their sections. Volunteer-teachers were already waiting for them.
An opening prayer was then conducted. Sing and dance was the next activity with the kids as well as with the volunteer-teachers that served as a warm-up for this day’s tutorial session.
Volunteer-teachers’ task for this day was to teach the students some lessons about Mathematics. Teacher Jedda created a lesson plan per grade level and this will be the guide of our volunteers.
School supplies such as notebooks and pencils were given to the kids. Thank you once again to Ateneo Graduate School of Business, Project Management Class of S26 who sponsored these. Workbooks and textbooks were also distributed to each section.
Teachers may also give a quiz to measure if the students have understand the lesson.
After the tutorial session that lasted for more than an hour, students and volunteer-teachers per grade level were asked to come in front for the class picture.
After that was recess time. A set of snack was given to each kid by their teachers. Thank you to our sponsors for the food.
When the class was finally dismissed, volunteer-teachers were given an evaluation form. In this form, the teachers wrote some remarks with regards to their lesson with the students. This may also consist of their comments and suggestions for the sake of improvement of the kids.
A Sunday morning was well spent with the kids who are hungry for knowledge, love and care from us. :)

Happy 5th Anniversary Project Pearls!
In line with this celebration, the whole covered area was filled with decorations as if a fiesta was going to happen. Yes, it was a fiesta-themed party.
A short orientation lead by Teacher Jedda was held so that the volunteers will have an idea of what will happen for the entire day. She explained the set of activities that we will facilitate. Miss Melissa Villa, the founder of Project Pearls and her brother, Kuya Juan also joined us. It was an honor to finally meet her. They also gave a short speech.
More than 300 kids were given the chance to participate and each volunteer handled at least five kids.
The program for this day started with a prayer and then followed by song and dance activities. The kids, as well as the volunteers enjoyed this part!
Some parlor games were then held.
After the games, each kid was given a snack.
Since this day was a celebration for the fifth anniversary of Project Pearls, a parlor game for the volunteers was also taken place. Of course, volunteers are a vital part of Project Pearls and we are not exempted to enjoy the day.
Wishing for more blessed and fruitful years to come for Project Pearls!

Pag-ibig Sa Ulan (Isang Tula)
"Pag-ibig Sa Ulan"
By: CieloAmethyst
Mag-isang nakaupo sa balkonahe ng isang kapehan
At marahang tinatanaw ang kalangitan.
Madilim ito at mukhang luluha na naman,
Muli ring bubuhos ang mga ala-ala kasabay ng ulan.
Hindi ininda ang may kapangitang panahon,
Ikaw at ako ay magkasama maghapon
Napuno ng saya ang ating mga oras noon.
Kahit nagtago si Haring Araw at hindi umahon.
Ang iyong mga ngiti ang nagsilbing liwanag
Sa isang araw na pinagkaitan ng sinag
At mas lalo yatang nahulog sa isang bitag.
Ang puso kong tinakasan na ng kalasag.
Ang simbolo ng ulan para sa akin ay ikaw.
Sa pag-ibig ko sa'yo ako ay nagtatampisaw.
Masayang ala-ala ang siyang pumupukaw
Sa isip ko na laging laman ay ikaw.
insight:
Ang cheesy naman ng isang ito.
Haha.
Well, because most of us, we define rain as pain, sorrow or longingness. So I created a poem that it describes happiness to someone because of the memories it brought.

Pait Sa Ulan (Isang Tula)
Nang minsang magtago si Haring Araw,
Sa dingding na salamin ako ay sumungaw.
Habang nakaupo ay aking natatanaw
Ang kalangitang tila naghuhumiyaw.
Para bang tumatangis ang langit.
At mayroon itong iniindang sakit.
Hindi magkamayaw ang nadarama nitong pait.
Na tila pareho pa yata kami ng sinapit.
Ipinikit yaring mga mata upang mawala,
Sa aking isipan ang masaya ngunit may pait na ala-ala.
Ikaw at ako sa ulan ay magkasama
Kapwa nakangiti at hindi iniinda ang mabasa.
Sa paghinto ng ulan ay tumigil na rin,
Ang pagdaloy ng mga luha mula sa'kin.
Sumilay ng muli ang liwanag sa papawirin.
Tapos na ang pait pati na ang pag-ibig natin.
Shet, ang bitter ng tula. haha.

Sa Tamang Panahon (Dalawang Tula)
Nang dahil sa #aldub
Geh.
"Sa Tamang Panahon"
(Siya)
Kailan nga ba makakamtan
Ang oras na pinaka-aasam?
Ikaw at ako'y magiging tayo
Pag-ibig mo ay magiging ako.
O, mahal ko kailan nga kaya
Makakapiling ka sa tuwi-tuwina,
Sana nga ay nalalapit na
Ang araw na ikaw ay akin na.
Iyo sana laging pakatatandaan
Na ikaw lamang ang nilalaman
Ng puso kong nasasabik
Sa iyong mga yakap at halik
Patuloy na hihilingin sa Maykapal
Ang tamang panahon, o aking mahal
Ramdam kong ito ay malapit na
Ikaw ay akin nang makakasama.
Ang mahalin ka'y magpakailanman
Pangako ko'y hindi ito titigilan
Maghihintay sa pagdating ng tamang pagkakataon,
Ikaw at ako lamang sa habang panahon.
(Ako)
Maraming salamat sa alay mong pag-ibig
At sa'yong pagdating sa aking daigdig,
Ang dating madilim na kulay nito ay nag-iba.
Naging makulay at napuno ng ligaya.
Ako nga ay tuluyan nang aamin
Sa tunay na nilalaman ng damdamin.
Sadyang ikaw lamang ang nandirito
Sa puso kong itinitibok ang pangalan mo.
Noong una pa lamang kitang nasilayan
Loob ko'y agad ng labis na nasiyahan.
Sa ngiti mo pa lang ay hulog na hulog na
Ang aba kong puso ay naging pag-aari mo na.
Sana ay ipagkaloob na ng Diyos Ama,
Ang tadhana nating dalawa.
Masabi ko na sana sa'yo ng harapan
Na mahal na mahal kita, ikaw lamang.
Tamang panahon ating hintayin
Labis na naniniwalang ito ay darating din
Ating mga puso ay magiging isa
Dasal at tiwala lamang, oh aking sinta.

MANINIWALA NA NAMAN BA AKO SA FOREVER?
All caps para intense.
Ang ewan lang ng title ng blog post na ito. Hahaha! Isisi natin sa isang university confession na nabasa ko. Haha.
But then, applying to myself the question itself, maniniwala na nga ba ako ulit?
As some of you may know, I came from a very bad heartbreak (teka, may good heartbreak ba? hahaha. lol. nababaliw na ba ako?). And being in a relationship that I thought would last forever, I then believed before in fairy tales and happily ever after. I believed in destiny, marriage, loyalty, faithfulness, full time and unconditional love.
I stopped believing in those things when I died because of someone who stopped loving me. And that someone was unfortunately became my world for a long time. Yes, at the age of 25 I died and was never buried yet.
All my "illusions and dreams of forever" shattered. But then of course, our life must go on.
After few weeks of being a "living dead" (wow, zombie lang ang peg.), I stood up and started to live my so called life again.
Sabi nga ng iba, I became a bitter person na puro hugot ang banat. Hahaha. Part ng pag-mo-moving on yon, huwag kayong ano diyan!
Naging food supplement ko pa nga raw ang ampalaya. Mga judgemental! Hehe.
Being dependent to God and to my families and friends and even to myself, I've learn to forgive and to let go of those things that hurt me the most. Just like the earthquake that can cause shattering, being in pain is unpredictable. But then I believe that staying in whatever kind of pain is a matter of choice. If we want to be on relief then we must move forward and stay away from the things that can cause wound to us.
Dito na pumapasok sa eksena si moving on stage.
Moving on? Aherm. And I can proudly say that I did it in just 30 days! Oh yes its true, tanong mo pa sa akin!
Hindi ako magpapaka-ipokrita at sasabihin ko sa'yo na madali lang. Dahil sa totoo lang, mahirap! Napakahirap. Beyond words ang pain, sufferings, repitition of heartaches, agony and misery. Dugo't pawis ang puhunan 'te! One of my blog post will tell you all the things that I've done in that crucial and life changing days of my life. I will post it soon.
Okay so back to our topic which is believing again on the things that I previously stopped to. Maniniwala na naman nga ba ako ulit o hindi na?
Kasi literally speaking, wala naman talagang forever eh. Lahat ng tao namamatay. Lahat ng bagay ay may katapusan at lahat ay nagbabago kasama na rito ang feelings nating mga tao. Maaaring ngayon mahal mo pa siya pero bukas paggising mo hindi na pala at may iba na. (Shet, humuhugot na naman.)
So it means na wala talagang forever!
Warning: Bitter mode on
Hahaha.
There are things that I consider while creating this post.
1. I then thought of my mom.
Papa passed away seven years ago and yet she chose to remain single. Kasi naniniwala siya na si Papa ang forever niya at hindi niya ito maipagpapalit kahit kanino. Papa will always be in her heart and in her life. She will always love him until the end of time. Ang sweet ng nanay ko 'di ba? Masaya na siya na si younger brother ko nalang ang lalaki sa buhay niya.
2. One of my co-writers and at the same time best friend then said, "Igat, hindi ka na naniniwala sa forever? Anong tingin mo sa lola't lolo mo? Mag- M.U. lang? (Mutual Understanding)"
Sounds funny but its a reality. There are a lot of couples who stand together for a long time and grow old together. And that long time is full of problems, sacrifices, pain, forgiveness, joy and love that they have been through.
3. I also knew a person who strongly believes in this. He then later on and currently became a special part of my life. (Hehehe) "May forever Cie. Tayo ang gagawa ng forever natin." He always used to tell me. Especially kapag binabanatan ko siya ng makapagdamdamin kong punchline na, "Walang forever!"
4. I then realized that forever may still exist. Maybe in the life of some. Para kasi sa atin, kapag natagpuan na ang tunay nating pag-ibig, he or she will be your forever na. We will strongly believe in that thought because we will hold on to those people who hold our heart. In short, kapag ang isang tao ay nakabawi na mula sa lahat ng heartaches na napagdaanan niya and then nakatagpo na siyang muli ng isang tao na mamahalin, the word "forever" will exist again in his or her life. Haha. #RealityCheck
So sapat na nga bang batayan ang mga bagay na ito para muli akong maniwala?
Sa tingin mo? Siguro oo. Haha.
So does that mean na nagmamahal na uli ako? Hahaha.
Nakakabaliw ang pag-ibig.
At Nababaliw na ako. Hahaha.
So it means pumapag-ibig na uli ako?
Shet.
#walangkwentangblogpost
Things I'm Bad At
WARNING: MAGULO ANG OTOR.
I saw this picture on my fb's newsfeed and I was like... "So meeeeee."
Lalo na yung number one. haha.
1. Eye Contact.
I have this big insecurity on myself. So when people tend to look me straight in the eyes, I am so intimidated. Pakiramdam ko nilalait nila yung itsura ko sa isipan nila. Especially my eyes. I hate my eyes. Sobra. But what can I do? I have these since I was born. Akala ng mga tao lagi akong puyat o di kaya kulang sa dugo (anemic). These panda eyes of mine make me feel so ugly. Insecure nga kasi ako sa itsura ko. So kapag hindi kita matignan sa mga mata, don't think na ayaw kitang tignan dahil chaka ka. Mas chaka ang tingin ko sa sarili ko. But then when I started to look at you in the eyes, it only means that I am already comfortable with you. Na wala na akong pakealam sa itsura ko at wala na kong pakialam kung ano pa ang maging impression mo sa akin kasi nakapag-establish na tayo ng relationship. That whatever I look like or whatever I do, you will just accept me just the way I am. Kasi ganon din ako sa'yo.
I will tell to myself, "Importante sa akin itong taong 'to. I want to see the whole of her or him right straight into the eyes and I am accepting her or him in my life."
2. Expressing feelings.
Medyo magulo ako sa bagay na ito. Sometimes I can tell what I truly feel to the people around me but most of the time, I just hide it within myself. Kaya nga isinilang ang blog kong ito. So that I could have an outlet of what I feel and think towards anything.
3. Making decisions.
One of the biggest things I am having a hard time. Maybe one of the reasons for this is that I am so much scared to get out of my comfort zone. I have a fear for failures, for rejections, for pain. Sino ba naman ang gustong masaktan hindi ba? Maliban nalang kung masokista ka. Haha. Then most of the time, pabago bago rin ako ng isip. Ngayon gusto ko, pero bukas ayoko. Ngayon ayaw ko, pero bukas o makalawa gusto ko na. Ang labo ko noh? Abnormal eh. There were also times that I can't decide independently. Na minsan yung mga tao sa paligid ko, sila yung hinahayaan kong magdecide para sa akin. Na ironically kapag gumagana ang katopakan ni Cielo, she do the other way around. Kung ano yung inadvice sa kanya, kabaliktaran naman non ang gagawin niya. Medyo gaga? I know right.
Unpredictable? Yes sometimes.
4. Telling someone what I want.
Mas gusto ko kasi na gagawin ko nalang muna ang isang bagay bago ko ito sabihin sa iba. If I want something, I want to get it by myself. Unless libre. haha. Pero syempre depende naman sa senaryo.
Senaryo no.1- I want to have that thing like stuff toy. I will tell you that I want it pero hindi ibig sabihin non na bilhin mo siya para sa akin. Minsan namimisinterpret ako ng tao eh. Akala, nagpaparamdam ako ng libre. But deep inside of me, I want to have it through my own money. Para sa akin kasi, mas masarap i-cherish yung mga bagay na pinaghirapan mong makuha. Although gifts are still highly appreciated and I also do have a big possesion and high sentimental value for those.
Merry Christmas! Hehe.
Senaryo no.2- I wouldn't tell you to change yourself. Even though I want you to be like this or that, I will shut my mouth. Still it's your own choice. Siguro kasi, nasanay ako sa friendship na walang pakelamanan sa mga trip sa buhay and support all the way lang lagi ang peg. We can give advices if we were being asked for. Pero other than that, walang basagan ng trip! Tsaka siguro personally, takot lang din ako maka-offend.
Senaryo no.3- Sa isang lakaran. Sometimes I lead the way but sometimes, I am depending on the majority kung ano ang trip nila. Depende rin siguro kung sino sino ang mga kasama ko. Kaya minsan, kahit na may gusto akong puntahan, sabihin o gawin, again, I just shut my mouth.
5.Explaining why I act a certain way.
I am having a hard time on explaining and defending myself especially to those people who are dominant. May mga tao kasi na sarado ang isip. So bakit ka pa magsasayang ng laway, stress, effort, oras at boses? Also, kahit ako sa sarili ko, minsan nahihirapan akong intindihin kung bakit ko nagawa o ginagawa ang isang bagay. Sa ibang tao pa kaya ipapaintindi ko pa? Bigti.
6.Getting motivated to do something.
Yes. I am hard getting motivated. At short term lang ang motivation para sa akin. Ulyanin kasi ako. Madalas kong makalimutan kung ano ba ang purpose at importance ng ginagawa ko. Sad life it is.
7.Knowing what I want.
Parang making decisions lang din ito. I am always undecided. It is my last name yata. -____-
8.Paying attention to people. Depende sa trip. Minsan choosy ako. Pakikinggan ko lang ang mga bagay na gusto kong pakinggan.
Bad ko noh?

Project Pearls ASP (Aug. 2, 2015)
Project Pearls
After School Program
August 2, 2015
in Helping Land, Tondo
Welcoming the month of August with a Math Pre-test!
Students were given a Math pre-test according to their current grade level so that we could determine the amount of knowledge that they know with regards to this subject. The questionnaires on this pre-test were based on the Department of Education’s present curriculum.
But before that, volunteer-teachers formed a circle and a small orientation lead by Teacher Jedda was held.
Each volunteer were assigned to handle one section. They will be the one who will facilitate the pre-test in Math for the kids. They shouldn’t teach their students nor help them in answering the test.
Students' IDs were also distributed.
After the exam, volunteer-teachers checked the test papers.
A puppet show for the kids was the next activity and they truly enjoyed it. Its aim was to teach children the value of cleanliness of one’s body. Being clean will help them to stay away from having diseases. Thank you to our volunteers who facilitated this kind of entertainment for our students.
After the puppet show, class picture of students per grade level with their volunteer-teachers was held and then recess.
This day’s program ended with a group picture of all the volunteer-teachers who attended and we do hope to see each other again next Sunday. Big thanks for all!
Come join us! :)

5 reasons you most probably break-up with a man: He doesn't love me anymore. He's cheating. He's lying. He's just using me. He will just leave me eventually.
3 reasons that would make you stay: Love, Love, Love.
5 things you do when your heart is broken: 1.Talk to God. Weep in front of Him. 2.Talking to friends, travelling, barhopping, house party. hehe. 3.Listening to Moving on songs. 4. Writing down all my rants about him on my blog. 5. Being alone ang thinking all things over.
5 things you would want a man to do to forgive him: Pursue me in the most effort, will never give up, will never leave, fill me with surprises, court my family, prove to me that he wont ever do it again.
5 things you would do to be forgiven: Apologize. Say sorry in the most sincerest form and mean it. Pursue him. Pray..
Be mad at him saying, huwag na siyang mag-inarte at patawarin na niya ako! hehe.
IN A PROPOSAL:
Describe your ideal wedding proposal: Medyo weird. Hehe. Yung tipong, nag-aabang kami ng masasakyan, i-aabot niya sa akin yung kaheta na may lamang singsing. tapos magpapara siya ng jeep at sasakay kami doon. Syempre magugulat ako kung para saan yung kahetang hawak ko. Tatanungin ko siya pero hindi niya ako papansinin at sasabihin niya lang sa mamang driver na ibaba kami sa pinakamalapit na simbahan. Pagbaba namin sa tapat ng simbahan, papasok kami sa loob at sa mismong aisle, sa harap ng Diyos niya ako tatanungin. At ang magiging tanong niya would be like this, "Wala namang dahilan para hindi mo ako pakasalan hindi ba?" Mapapailing nalang ako. Saying, "Wala nga." Tapos yon kukunin niya ulit sakin yung kaheta. Isusuot niya sa akin yung singsing. Hahahahaha!lels.
LAST…
Anything you want to say to the writer? Thank you kasi napili mo akong character. Good luck sa manus. We shall claim that this will be approved. By God's grace. :) Isesend ko sau some pointers ng PHR we studied during the workshop. :) Lab yu! <3
#Hugot Compilation
“Cielo’s Hugot Lines”
Why I created this blog post?
Wala lang. Para masaya. He-he.
Everytime kasi na magbibitaw ako ng mga ma-da-dramang lines, my friends' initial reactions would be like these:
“Ano na namang hugot yan?!”
“Ayan tayo eh!”
“Ang lalim nun ah!”
“Naiintindihan kita, friend. I know what you’ve been through.”
“Ayan ka na naman eh. Humuhugot ka na naman.”
“Bitter alert, bitter alert!”
“Hindi ka pa nakaka-move on!”
etc. etc. etc.
Well for me, matagal na akong naka-move on mga kaibigan!
Nabibitawan ko na ang mga salitang ito nang wala na itong sakit na kasama. Maybe the memories were still there. Syempre naman, wala akong amnesia. But the pain was already gone. Kaya nga at nagagawa ko nalang biro o punch line ang lahat.
Sa maniwala man kayo o maniwala eh bahala na kayo.
Basta ako, masaya na. :)
I have already learned to forgive and be happy without that person in my life that once broke me.
And acceptance was the basic step.
Anyway,
So here is the compilation in non-particular order of some scenarios or words I’ve been said and done. Ha-ha.
Happy hugot reading!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot #1: VAN
The Scene: Sa Van. We are on our way to Ilocos. We had a short stop at NLEX.
Driver/Tour Guide: Pwede po kayo mag-C.R. kung gusto niyo.
Cielo: Talaga, Manong? Pwede po? (Kasi ihing ihi na ako.)
Driver: Bilisan niyo lang po.
Friend 1: Okay lang Manong, Iwan na natin yan si Cielo.
Cielo: Oo nga Manong, okay lang. Sanay naman ako na laging iniiwan.
Friend 2,3 and 4: (Nagising at sabay-sabay sila ng reaction) HUGOT!!! Iwan na yan!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot #2: OFFICE
The Scene: Sa Office. Kasalukuyang binubully ng mga male friends.
Bully friend 1: Ang ganda mo ngayon, Cielo. Anong meron?
Bully friend 2: Si Cielo maganda?! Saan banda? (binabangga ako sa braso. Ganyan sila maglambing. Medyo karinyo brutal)
Cielo: (bitter smiling) Ganyan kayo eh. Sinaktan na nga ako ng ex ko, pati ba naman kayo.
Bully friend 1 and 2: (Natahimik)
Bully friend 1: Gago yon ah. Anong ginawa?
Cielo: Naghanap ng bago. Hindi kasi ako maganda.
Bully friend 2: Ang guwapo niya ha. Wag siyang papakita sa akin. Lagot sa akin yon.
Cielo: Okay lang ako kuya, sanay naman ako na laging sinasaktan.
Bully friend 1: Iyon pala ang hugot ng pagiging maganda mo.
Bully friend 2: Sige na nga, maganda ka na. Pero ngayon lang ha. Pag naka-move on ka na, pangit ka na ulit.
Bully friend 1 and 2: (Nag-apir at nagtawanan)
Note: Kahit mga bully sila, napapatawa naman nila ako. That would be enough. After all, walang tutumbas sa sakit na ginawa ng ex ko compare sa mga pambubully nila sa akin everyday. Haha.
P.S. – Nasa Note ang hugot. Hahaha!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot #3: XEROX
The Scene: Sa Photocopy Area
Photocopier: Ganda mo talaga lately. Epekto ba yan ng pagiging single?
Cielo: (ngiting wagas) Naman!
Photocopier: *abot ng mga papel na tapos ng i-photo copy*
Cielo: ‘Yet, parang may naiwan. Pa-check nga. May napansin kasi akong lumipad na papel don sa likod ng machine.
Photocopier: (Pumunta sa likod ng machine, tinignan) Wala Ciel.
Cielo: Ah okay. Sige. Thanks. Akala ko kasi may naiwan. Ako lang pala yung naiwan. Di bale sanay na akong naiiwan.
Photocopier, Mga nakapila para magpaxerox: (pare-pareho ng reaction) HUGOT!!!
Hehehe. Makabanat lang.
------------------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot #4: BIBIMBOP
The Scene: Sa SM North Food Court with a co-writer habang kumakain kami ng bibimbop.
Cielo: Hindi ko na kaya. Busog na ako. Hindi ko na mauubos ‘to.
Co-writer: Ubusin mo nga yan! Huwag kang magsayang ng pagkain.
Cielo: Hindi ko na nga kaya.
Co-writer: Maraming bata ang nagugutom.
Cielo: Kapag inubos ko ba yan, mabubusog sila? (Hehehe)
Co-writer: Kahit na!
Cielo: Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ganito na ako. Dati naman nauubos ko kahit busog na ako. Pero ngayon, ayaw na talaga tanggapin ng sikmura ko.
Co-writer: Parang pagmamahal mo lang.
Cielo: Huh?
Co-writer: Dati, lahat lahat binibigay mo. Pero ngayon, nagtitira ka na para sa sarili mo.
Cielo: Wow. Talagang ikaw ang humugot para sa akin.
---------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot #5: L.R.T.
Co-volunteer 1: Umayos ka kaya ng upo.
Cielo: Okay lang, matiisin naman ako.
Co-volunteer 1: Pakilinaw. Kasi iisipin ko, may hugot na naman yang sinasabi mo.
Cielo: Sa ganitong klase ng pag-upo, ikaw naman. (Hehehe)
-------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot #6: MASARAP?
Co-volunteer 2: Masarap ba ang magmahal?
Cielo: (kalabit kay Co-volunteer 1) Oy, nakatikim ka na daw ba non? Ano bang klaseng pagkain yon?
Co-volunteer 1: Ayan, ayan. Sabi sa’yo dapat di ka kumakain ng ampalaya three times a day.
Cielo: Eh sa hindi ko nga alam kung ano ba yung tinutukoy niya. Ano ba kasi ‘yon? (inosente mode)
Hehehe.
---------------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot #7: LOYAL?
Co-volunteer 3: May lalaki pa kayang loyal sa mundo?
Co-volunteer: 1: Meron naman siguro. Rare na nga lang sila.
Cielo: Feeling ko wala na.
#alamnathis hehehe.
-----------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot #8: ADVICE PARA SA ISANG KAIBIGAN
“Bago mo kasi landiin, alamin mo muna kung may sabit o wala. Tulad niyan, may girlfriend pala iyong lalaki. Huwag na huwag ka magpaka-third party! Nakakasira ka ng isang relasyon. Konsensya mo ‘yon. Imagine yung isang matagal ng relasyon, matitibag lang dahil sa pagpasok mo sa eksena. Maawa ka naman dun sa girlfriend nung lalaki. Sobrang sakit kaya nun kapag pinagpalit siya nun sa’yo! Mag-move on ka na. Hanap ulit ng ibang lalandiin. Iyong walang jowa!”
#HugoteraSiCielo
p.s. di ko na sasabihin reaction ni Friend. Alam niyo na yon. Hehe.
------------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot #9: NAKAKAPAGOD
Usapan sa Viber with Co-writer 2
Co-writer 2: Nakakapagod ng magmahal bebe.
Cielo: Hindi pagmamahal ang nakakapagod, kundi ang umasa at masaktan. Ang mag-expect at madisappoint. Ang maniwala, magtiwala and in the end ay lolokohin lang din.
Co-writer 2: -_- Humuhugot ka na naman.
------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot #10: KANIN
“Ang pagpapakasal ay hindi isang kanin na isusubo at iluluwa kapag napaso. Parang sa pag-ibig lang din. Huwag ka ng sumubo ng pagmamahal na hindi mo naman kayang tumbasan o kahit tapatan man lang. At pagkatapos ang mas masaklap, isusuka mo lang din pala siya sa buhay mo kapag ayaw mo na. Lalo na kapag may nakita kang mas masarap na putahe. Huwag ganon! Huwag kang gago.”
------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot #11: BALIKAN
Boss: (may kausap sa cell phone) Nasaan ka na? Papunta ka na ba sa CTSD? Hello. Nakausap mo na si ano? Hello. Nag-da-drive ka ba? Sige mamaya nalang. Tawag ka nalang. Balikan mo nalang ako. (End of call.)
Cielo: Boss, minsan may mga bagay na hindi na dapat binabalikan pa.
-----------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot #12: MAMATAY
This was my post on my tumble account. Share ko lang dito. Hehe.
Blog post title: “Mamatay”
Description: Tinanong kita noon kung hanggang kailan mo ako mamahalin. At ang sagot mo ay hanggang sa mamatay ka. And now I am wondering, “Bakit buhay ka pa?”
------------------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot #13: LOYALTY EXPIRATION
The Scene: Confe call with co-writers
Co-writer 1: Wala na talagang loyal sa panahon ngayon. Lahat nalang ng lalaki, manloloko. Hindi marunong makuntento. (note: brokenhearted po siya that time)
Co-writer 2: Totoo yan. Pero huwag natin lahatin. Karamihan nalang siguro at nata-timing lang na ang ilan sa atin eh nakakilala ng mga ganong klase ng lalaki.
Co-writer 3: *kroo kroo kroo*
Co-writer 4: Ano bang nangyayari? Hindi ako maka-relate sa usapan niyo. (Lagi kasi siyang missing in action o MIA)
Cielo: Feeling ko naman, may mga loyal pa rin na lalaki sa mundo. Iyon nga lang, merong expiration ang loyalty nila. Iyong iba inaabot ng matagal na panahon. Halimbawa ay seven years. Sa loob ng pitong taon, nagawa nilang maging loyal. Na-expired nga lang.
Co-writer 1,2,3 and 4: Hindi pa siya nakaka-move on!
Ang bitter niya!
Hugot na hugot! Wuhoo!
Hahahaha!
Cielo: Grabe kayo. Nagsasabi lang ako ng kuro-kuro dito. Mga judgemental!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot # 14: PEOPLE CHANGE
Special Friend: I won’t leave you and I promise that I will wait.
Cielo: Sinabi na rin yan sa akin dati.
Special Friend: Iba ako, iba siya.
Cielo: Ano ka, alien?
Special Friend: Basta. Hindi kita iiwan.
Cielo: Siguro ngayon, masasabi mo yan pero as time will go by, pwedeng magbago iyang nararamdaman mo para sa akin. Pero ayos lang kung magbago ka man or mawala sa buhay ko. After all, people change. And the only constant in this world is change. Kaya okay lang. Sanay na ako. Been there, done that.
-------------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot # 15: HAWAK BA NILA ANG PUSO KO?
(An FB Post)
Gaano ba dapat kabilis magmahal ulit? Kailangan ba talagang paabutin muna ng maraming taon para hindi na masabi ng mga tao sa paligid mo na, “Ang bilis mo namang mag-move on!”
Masama bang maging masaya agad after a heartbreak?
Requirement ba na maging miserable for a long period of time?
Then they will judge you again when you found someone new, “Hindi mo mahal yang bago mo!”
Like seriously, hawak ba nilang ang puso ko?!
-------------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot #16: AN ADVICE
“Ang gamot sa pag-ibig ay pag-ibig din. Bagong pag-ibig.”
-------------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot # 17: PICTURES
(A GROUP TEXT)
“Bebes, for the last time, tinignan ko yung mga pictures namin. Then finally, ba-bye. Memories will always be memories. But the feelings changed. #deleted.”
-------------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot #18: STRONGER
(A SONG)
“Cause you’ve made me stronger by breaking my heart. You ended my life and made a better one start. You taught me everything from falling in love to letting go of a lie. Yes you’ve made me stronger baby, by saying goodbye.”
---------------------------------------------------------
Cielo’s Hugot # 19: WALANG GANYAN
“Ang sabi nga ni Vice Ganda ‘di ba? Ang tagalog ng Eternity, walang hanggan at ang tagalog naman ng Forever, walang ganyan!”
------------------------------------------------------
Cielo's Hugot #22 - AMPALAYA NA MAY ITLOG
The Scene- Sa bahay ni Friend
Cielo: Wow! Ampalaya na may itlog. Favorite ko to! *Kuha ng ampalaya sa bowl, lagay sa sariling plato*
Reiko: Kaya pala bitter ka kasi paborito mo yan? *tawa*
Cielo: *killer look* Ayan tayo eh!
Nasaan ang hugot? Wala naman kaso baka nasa ampalaya.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Cielo's Hugot #23 - BUS
The Scene - Naglalakad papunta sa highway, still with Reiko.
Reiko: Ano sasakyan mong bus?
Cielo: Siguro yung papuntang Pasay nalang bebe.
Reiko: Medyo madalang yung Pa-Pasay.
Cielo: Okay lang yan, bebe. Ang bus parang pag-ibig lang yan. Minsan hintay ka ng hintay, nakaalis na pala at wala ng darating pa.
Reiko: Huwow. Deep within! *tawa*
Note: Bakit deep within? Earlier kasi tinanong niya ako kung ano daw ang english ng hugot. Tapos ang sagot ko sa kanya is deep within. Kaya iyon. Haha.
Kbye.
-___-'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cielo's Hugot #24 - BUS PART TWO
(NV)
Cielo: Ang pag-ibig parang bus. Minsan hintay ka ng hintay, yun pala nakaalis na. Kung may darating man, hindi iyon ang gusto mo pero sasakyan mo nalang dahil wala kang choice. Along the way, marerealize mo na okay naman pala ang nasakyan mo kahit hindi siya ang hinihintay mo. Marami itong mabubuting bagay na taglay kagaya na lang ng free wi-fi. Hehe.
JB: It's not the bus ride that is important. Not the bus itself. It is your destination. It is where you'll go home. How we'll get there will always vary. It may either delay us or move us forward to the path we seek. But we have to put our trust to the One who makes the journey possible. That the path we are taking isHis will. Like leading me to you. ;) sweetdreams. You are loved.
Cielo: *seenzone*
Ako yung binara sa sarili kong hugot.. Hohoho. -_-
----------------------------------------------------------
Cielo's Hugot #25 - Razon's
The Scene- After mag-church with college friends.
Cf 1: Saan tayo?
Cf 2: Oo nga. Saan tayo?
Cf 1: *tingin sa akin* Dahil Anniversary niyo bukas ni ex, ikaw na ang masunod Cie kung saan tayo.
Cf 2: Oo nga pala noh. Happy birthday! Hehe.
Cielo: *nag-iisip* Parang gusto ko ng Halo-halo. Yung sa Razon's.
Cf 1: Saan tayo maghahanap ng Razon's? *tingin sa paligid*
Cielo: Tara hanap tayo. Lakad lakad nalang muna tayo. Tiwala lang, along the way, makakahanap rin tayo ng Razon's. Rason para mabuhay. HAHAHAHA!
Cf 1 and 2: Pagbigyan!!! Hayaan nalang, birthday nya eh.

Dugong: Wala eh. Ganun talaga ang mga lalaki. Tayong mga babae nalang
talaga ang mag-aadjust para sa kanila.
Pusit: Siguro nga.
Cielo: Pero tayong mga babae, napapagod rin.
Dugong at Pusit: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Dugong: Shet Igat, bumabanat ka na naman!

Dugong: Biglang bawi. I miss you too.
Cielo: Bigay-bawi eh. Hahahaha!
Dugong: Naman.
Cielo: Parang pag-ibig lang yan Dugs. ‘Pag ayaw na ng taong
pinag-aalayan mo ng pagmamahal eh bawiin mo na ang puso mo at muli
itong ibigay sa mas deserving.

Cielo's Hugot #22 - AMPALAYA NA MAY ITLOG
The Scene- Sa bahay ni Friend
Cielo: Wow! Ampalaya na may itlog. Favorite ko to! *Kuha ng ampalaya sa bowl, lagay sa sariling plato*
Reiko: Kaya pala bitter ka kasi paborito mo yan? *tawa*
Cielo: *killer look* Ayan tayo eh!
Nasaan ang hugot? Wala naman kaso baka nasa ampalaya.

Cielo's Hugot #23 - BUS
The Scene - Naglalakad papunta sa highway, still with Reiko.
Reiko: Ano sasakyan mong bus?
Cielo: Siguro yung papuntang Pasay nalang bebe.
Reiko: Medyo madalang yung Pa-Pasay.
Cielo: Okay lang yan, bebe. Ang bus parang pag-ibig lang yan. Minsan hintay ka ng hintay, nakaalis na pala at wala ng darating pa.
Reiko: Huwow. Deep within! *tawa*
Note: Bakit deep within? Earlier kasi tinanong niya ako kung ano daw ang english ng hugot. Tapos ang sagot ko sa kanya is deep within. Kaya iyon. Haha.
Kbye.

Cielo's Hugot #24 - BUS PART TWO
(NV)
Cielo: Ang pag-ibig parang bus. Minsan hintay ka ng hintay, yun pala nakaalis na. Kung may darating man, hindi iyon ang gusto mo pero sasakyan mo nalang dahil wala kang choice. Along the way, marerealize mo na okay naman pala ang nasakyan mo kahit hindi siya ang hinihintay mo. Marami itong mabubuting bagay na taglay kagaya na lang ng free wi-fi. Hehe.
JB: It's not the bus ride that is important. Not the bus itself. It is your destination. It is where you'll go home. How we'll get there will always vary. It may either delay us or move us forward to the path we seek. But we have to put our trust to the One who makes the journey possible. That the path we are taking isHis will. Like leading me to you. ;) sweetdreams. You are loved.
Cielo: *seenzone*
Ako yung binara sa sarili kong hugot.. Hohoho. -_-
