what now?

it has been awhile since the last time i posted a much personal entry in this blog. hmm.. a lot has happened. still no work but still applying and hoping. i know. soon. i am more optimistic now after attending sfc clp.(we'll have the last talk on thursday and after that we'll just wait for the Lord's Day/ Christmas party). the sfc clp helped me much with my current situation and continue to motivate me. i know i will find work soon.

hoping.. praying..

Barack Obama to become the 44th president of the United States of America

Who will it be? Obama or McCain?

While most Filipinos doesn't care with the upcoming US Presidential elections that will start in a few hours from now, whoever wins this election will surely affect the Philippines in any way.

Akala - Parokya ni Edgar

akala ko ice cream, yun pala beer,
akala reverse yun pala second gear,
akala ko kasya yun pala hindi,
akala ko tama yun pala mali...

akala ko hiphop yun pala metal
akala ko batis yun pala kanal
akala ko toothpaste yun pala glue
akala birdie yun pala blue

akala ko tsinelas yun pala sapatos,
akala ko umabot yun pala kapos,
akala ko bukas yun pala kahapon
akala mamaya yun pala ngayon...

akala ko alam ko na ang lahat
ng dapat na malaman ngunit
mali na naman, pero ok lnag yan...

Wag kang matakot na baka magkamali
walang mapapala kung di ka magbakasakali
dahil lumlipas ang oras,baka ka maiwanan
kung hindi mo susubukan...

akala ko chicken yun pala asado
akala ko bukas pero yun pala sarado
akala ko mansanas pero yun pala banana
akala ko meron pa, pero yun pala wala na

akala ko foreign yun pala pinoy
akala ko blackjack yun pala pusoy
akala ko talo yun pala panaloakala ko si chito, yun pala ako

akala ko dati walang mangyayari
akala din nila ngayopn wala silang masabi
akala ng lahat mapapagod din ako
mabuti nalang matigas ang aking ulo

akala walang mapupuntahan kahit na paghirapan ngunit,
mali nanaman, kung hindi mo susubukan sana'y hindi ko na nalaman
eh di nasayang lang

wag kang matakot na baka magkamali
walang mapapala kung di ka magbakasakali
dahil lumilipas ang oras
baka ka maiwanan kung hindi mo susubukan

wag kang matakot na baka magkamali
walang mapapala kung di ka magbakasakali
dahil lumilipas ang oras
baka ka maiwanan kung hindi mo susubukan

backpackers out there..
