Natuwa naman ako at may nailigpit akong maliit na leaflet ng L-Gas Marketing. Nakasulat doon ang kanilang promotion na nagsasabing “In need of LPG Cooking Gas? We are just A RING AWAY! For quick and free delivery, please DIAL or TEXT!” Matagal ko nang plinanong bumili ng bagong tangki ng LPG nung humiwalay ang kapatid ko sa apartment unit ko, bitbit ang pangkaraniwan naming gamit na tangki ng LPG. Bumili ako pansamantala ng electric stove kaso nasira naman kaagad, tsaka tumaas pa singil ng kuryente ko. Dinayal ko ang numero ng telepono ng tindahan at lalaki ang sumagot, may boses binatilyo. Unang tanong ko, “Nagbibenta po kayo ng tangki ng Gasul?” Ewan ko kung tama ang pagkatanong ko, inisip ko kasi baka palitan lang ng lamang LPG lang talaga ang negosyo nila. “Opo, pero ubos na ang Gasul namin,” sagot ng kabilang linya. At binanggit niyang M-Gas nalang ang meron sila. Binago ko tanong ko, “Pero nagbibenta po kayo ng tangki ng LPG?” at idinugtong ko ang pangalawang tanong, “mga ...

After inserting, I grabbed the magnetic card and hurried through the escalator. I decided to elbow the crowd once the train is more than full. Down the platform, I saw this guy leading the queue near the bottom steps. He was wearing a navy blue body-fit shirt with a white bonnet hugging tightly his head. He also wore sunglasses befit for him as he glanced at my direction. I found him very attractive, a sexy back with trapezoid muscles so prominent marked as curves over his body-hugging shirt. I don’t know if he noticed me staring at him, as he kept turning glances to my direction. I seated myself to a bench yard away from his queue. Yeah he’s got good looks; I hope those eyes hidden would turn me off. But I kept ogling at this good-looking man, satisfying my sexual fantasies until the northbound train arrived. I was imagining erotic scenes with him, the big beefy arms hugging me, the gorgeous arc of his back I am hugging… The whistle from the guard startled me. Fuck! I was still...

We Filipinos are so physical. We welcome body contacts. We do not mind personal spaces. We filled 5 to 7 persons in all motorized tricycles. We filled in all available spaces the jeepneys have, including rooftops (the so-called toploads). We squeezed in the full-seated buses, filling in the aisles and even the stairs or doorsteps. In skytrains, we begged to sit in any available space found. We often hear ourselves say “paupo”, “pausod naman po”, “pwedeng sumingit?” Men and women found ourselves squeezing their butts in the limited space while others trying themselves to shrink each other asses to accommodate.   Only in the Philippines! In other countries, the sitting capacity of any transport vehicle is good for persons to sit erect elbow to elbow, not butt to butt.

Capricorn (December 22 to January 19) The month ahead may put you in an introspective frame of mind, mostly on the account of the financial and monetary front. You may not have been saving a lot of money in the past few months, and the results may, well, be more than visible now. Don't worry, for an imminent cash crunch is not a possibility, yet it will be desirable that you pay more attention to areas like savings, investments, taxes, financial planning and cost-cutting. Take this down time to review your expenses, patterns, tendencies, and take corrective measures, advises Ganesha. See how others tend to keep a tight pulse on their money and monetary matters, and you shall get the picture. Spend wisely and avoid speculative transactions. On the career front, you will experience progress. Happiness is foreseen, as you may see your plans getting materialized, as expected. Travel opportunities are on the cards. The important dates are 5, 6, 14, 15, 23....

Nabulabog ang umaga ko sa sigawan sa labas ng apartment ko. Akala ko kung sino kaaway ng isang ina dun sa may emergency exit. Lakas ng boses niya, naka-speaker phone din ang kausap niya. Nanghihingi siya ng tulong sa kanyang anak, pera pangtustos sa pang-araw-araw na pangangailangan. Wala daw pambigay ang anak. Kung saan-saan na daw siya sumaklolo, nahihiya na siya sa mga tinutuluyan niya, hindi na daw siya makakagalaw kasi wala siyang pera, wala din siyang mapapasukang trabaho. Gusto niyang makituluyan sa anak niyang kausap niya sa telepono kaso pinagpalit daw siya sa katulong nito. Sinisiraan daw siya sa katulong, kung anu-ano ang sinusumbong sa amo nitong anak niya. "Paalisin mo yang katulong mo at pabalikin mo ako dyaan!" sigaw niya. Galit ito sa halip na magmamakaawa. Binalewala lang ng anak ang mga reklamo, hiling, galit, sigaw, pagmamakaawa ng ina. Ang gulo, ang ingay! Paulit-ulit ang mga sinasabi, paikot-ikot ang usapan. Lahat ng narinig ko galing sa speaker pho...

AFTER a day's work, heart and mind agreed to a date. They met in a mall for alittle chat and a sip of coffee. It was a very stressful monday that both realized how overworked they were. Both were known to be breadwinners of their families back home. Heart confided that his present obligations were fue to his family responsibilities on top of personal gusto. The mind reasoned how indulgent heart has become to a point that he sacrified his own happiness. The mind dared to say, "You are such a nice man, a very good son! You are a blessing to your family! But you need not obligate yourself too much for their sakes. You must to consider your own self also." Heart very well replied, "I somehow survive under the test of endurance and life, no matter how unfriendly it is to me, make me stronger despite the many obstacles that clog my way to self-actualization. I have inured myself to hardwork required of me by fate, and I thank God that He has sustained me enough courag...

JULY. A very remarkable month in my career life; the very month I once experienced being jobless yet so far my whole life. i don't worry, i don't panic, i don't mind though! I just wondered why was I not worried about it? unlike before when I sort of apprehensive losing my job, even just imagining about it or having no work at all. maybe because all my siblings have their good lives, good jobs too that they can handle family responsibilities that I thought I alone can handle --- my parent's subsistence, my parent's medicines, et cetera maybe because my older brothers have gainfully employed abroad my little sister had married and got an uninterrupted job contracts all with good pays I however am particularly grateful for that break. That it reminds me of drawing back into the first step in my professional ladder and start anew in the corporate world. That was the high time for me to get employed with multinational corporations. That through...

First TV My very first TV (first ever family tv), purchased in 1997 as my christmas bonus souvenir. That 14-inch Sony TV was the first christmas gift I had being gainfully employed as College Instructor at Saint Paul College Surigao. This Sharp TV was the first TV I redeemed from my former friend. He failed the monthly installment payments and so I took over and instead owned the appliance. It was in 2000 when I took possession and until this time is still functioning well. It's 2 years now that the cable TV services has reached our place, and this TV set has that connection. First Washing Machine My second project after the first TV was the purchase of washing machine. I pity my mother to wash all our clothes manually. I can no longer remember the brand. All I can remember is that the I have acquired two of such machines since then. First CD Cassette Player My sister Crestina Gastardo-Gatillo is fond of listening to music, and both of us were fond of danc...
