Di Bale Na Lang – Regine Velasquez
How fitting naman itong song na ‘to. May mga panahon kasi tayo sa buhay na gusto nating magmahal ulit. But the circumstances surrounding the love we had is telling us otherwise. Hindi naman ganung kadaling makipaglaro sa puso. Minsan, di mo rin alam kung ano ang nararamdaman ng iniibig mong tao di ba?
In a sense, we strive to be loved and to love someone na hindi naman talaga bubukol. When push comes to shove, kailangan natin ng desisyon and if all the walls are up and stopping you from getting what you want, baka may sinasabi na sa ‘yo.
So, for you hopeless romantics out there.. here’s a song na sana makapagbukas sa mga isip ninyo. When it looks right but it doesn’t feel right… maybe it’s not right. Kung tinamaan ka.. para sa ‘yo ‘to. 
Sandali na lang
Akala ko naman ay sigurado na ako
Handa kong tanggapin ang kanyang oo
Bigla na lang nagbago ang isip niya
Hindi ko akalain na gano’n pala siya
Pinaasa niya lang ako
Bitin na bitin ako
Oooh woh
Hindi ko na alam kung makakaya ko pa
Di bale na lang kaya
Ako pa ba kaya ang nasa puso niya
Di bale na lang kaya
Ngunit mahal ko siya
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Ngayon araw-araw lumilipas ang panahon
Kalimutan ko siya’y malayo sa isip ko
Di kaya, pinaikot niya lang ako
Bigla na naman nagbago ang isip niya
Pagkakataon ko na mapasagot ko siya
Pag ang sinabi ko’y di mabili
Baka mapahiya muli…
Hindi ko na alam kung makakaya ko pa
Di bale na lang kaya
Ako pa ba kaya ang nasa puso niya
Di bale na lang kaya
Ngunit mahal ko siya
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Bakit ka naman ganyan
Ano pa ba kayang paraan
Pero kung kailangan mo naman ako
Agad akong tumatakbo
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Bitin na bitin ako
oh…oh…oh
Hindi ko na alam kung makakaya ko pa
Di bale na lang kaya
Ako pa ba kaya ang nasa puso niya
Di bale na lang kaya
Ngunit mahal ko siya
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Hindi ko na alam kung makakaya ko pa
Di bale na lang kaya
Ako pa ba kaya ang nasa puso niya
Di bale na lang kaya
Ngunit mahal ko siya
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang…
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooooooh…..
The Manny Pacquiao – Krista Ranillo – Jinkee Pacquiao Triangle became personal for one blogger
You’ve probably heard it on the news, watched it on The BUZZ, or whatever source of gossip you take your pleasure from. Manny Pacquiao, fresh from his historical win against Miguel Cotto is on the front pages again for an alleged affair with actor Matt Ranillo’s daughter – Krista Ranillo.
I’ve read about it and I’ve shared it with all of you because that’s what this blog is about. I find interesting gossips about celebrities and I share it with my readers.
Comelec says gay party ‘immoral’
Are we living in the dark ages still? I was reading one of my favorite blogs and found a featured news segment about Comelec’s rejection of Ang Ladlad to be accredited as a party list due to grounds of advocating “sexual immorality” and “immoral doctrines“.
What? Is this for real? It’s all about human rights. We are all equal and regardless of sexual orientation, race or origin – each of us should be given the same right as everyone else.
I was not only disappointed about this decision but disheartened as well. I hope that what they did does not result in hatred and misunderstanding of the LGBT community. According to reports, the president of Ang Ladlad, Danton Remoto is going to take this all the way to the Supreme Court. More power to you Danton!! We have to continue to fight for equal rights.

This is why I am not too happy with Carrie Prejean right now.
I was really furious when I watched Meredith Vieira’s interview with Carrie Prejean on the Today Show. I watched her respond to the questions and watched her talk about how she is being attacked as a conservative woman and so forth. She even mentioned that she was being “Palinized” (referring to how ex-Alaskan governor Sarah Palin was attacked because she is a conservative). Can we get real here?
I am not a Democrat nor a Republican. In fact, I am a registered independent. The thing that irks me the most (regardless of party association) is hypocrisy. How can Carrie Prejean sit there and say that she is being attacked as a conservative when she was the one who was self-righteous in the first place yet when her life is dissected, we find all sorts of lies beneath her goody-two-shoes image. This is the same reason I hate self-righteous people condemning same-sex marriage or harping about why homosexuality is a sin and then in the end you find that they do the same exact things that they condemn!
Sesame Street 40th Anniversary – Google Celebrates Big Bird’s Birthday
Sunny Day
Sweepin’ the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet
Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Street
Come and play
Everything’s A-OK
Friendly neighbors there
That’s where we meet
Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Sesame Street
It’s a magic carpet ride
Every door will open wide
To Happy people like you–
Happy people like
What a beautiful
Sunny Day
Sweepin’ the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet
Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame street…
How to get to Sesame Street
How to get to…
If you can sing this song, more than likely you are one of the people who grew up with Sesame Street. It’s Sesame Street’s 40th anniversary and they are taping the show to air on November 10th. But why is it that Google is showing someone’s very familiar legs?
Today is Big Bird’s Birthday!! Happy Birthday Big Bird! We are joining the celebration by sharing with you a nostalgic piece of the show:
Man in affair caught naked fleeing lover’s furious husband
Hahaha! Kaya kayo, huwag kayong gagawa ng mga kababalaghan… ayan – - -tingnan ninyo ito..
Like they say, “What goes around comes around” – kahit walang ganti, may gaganti pa rin.
Ayan, si Cheng Hua… nahuli ng asawa ng babaeng kinakalantari niya.. mukhang hinabol ng itak… ayun, lumabas ng bintana ng hubo’t hubad……
Kung may tinatago kayo sa mga waswits ninyo na affair… umamin na kayo.. hahaha! Baka makita kayo sa internet na nakahubo’t hubad din… Now, he’s humiliated himself beyond belief.
Nothing is worth cheating for. If you are falling in love with someone else – - leave your lover first and then continue on. Besides, you will never know the outcome of the “imaginary relationship” kung hindi mo iiwan muna yung hindi mo na mahal… That will be the true test kung yung hinahangad mong relationship is totally worth it…. diba?
To see the NSFW pics… follow the link.

Happy Halloween Guys!
This is the night of transformation people! We are scrambling for the last minute items we need for the Halloween Ball 2009. Excited and yet.. stressed out but we all know it’s going to be worth it.
Have you ever even thought that anyone could turn a horror ZOMBIE Flick into a porno movie? I didn’t know that… and now I do.
Watch the trailer below. I am not going to provide the link to the website.. just search for LA ZOMBIE – - – - cause there are NSFW pics there.
Happy Halloween! (I got a feeling… THAT TONIGHT’S GONNA BE A GOOD NIGHT…YES, TONIGHT’s GONNA BE A GOOD NIGHT….)
And the transformation begins… Chuva on Halloween…
Well mga ka-chika… it’s that time of year again. This is the time when Chuva Chienes transforms herself into one fabulous and beautiful maiden. Hahaha! I wish!
The Butse Gang has a yearly tradition. We go to the Henri David Halloween Ball in Philadelphia every year. This year will be different only because we used to buy our own dresses and get up for the occasion. But, not this time.
This time, our dresses will be made by a friend (pictured above) who recently completed Fashion Design at the Fashion Institute of the Philippines in Manila. Parang Project Runway baga… hahaha!
Refund offered by Disney to Parents who purchased Baby Einstein Videos valid until March 10, 2010.
Does this mean that my nephews and nieces aren’t going to be smarter than they already are? I remember my sister going gaga over these videos – the so-called “turn your kids into Einsteins by watching these videos” product called “Baby Einstein“. She used to put them in front of the TV watching these videos for long periods of time while she’s working or doing laundry and stuff.
Well, according to New York Times , Disney has now offered a refund to anyone who has purchased the videos because according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, no baby should really be exposed to tv screens under the age of 2 because it affects the child’s attention span.
A team of lawyers concerned about the “deceptive advertising” threatened Disney that they will file a class action suit against the company unless they provide a full refund to anyone who purchased the Baby Einstein videos since 2004. The company’s website has now made a refund offer for any videos returned (without receipt) at the purchase price of $15.99 each up to four DVDs per household, may exchange the DVD for a different title or receive a discount coupon.
My sister’s kids are no longer infants and they are very smart and talented kids. I guess, I wouldn’t be able to credit those traits to the Baby Einstein videos now… maybe their prescription eye wear at such a very young age.
If you have any of the Baby Einstein Videos – you may opt for an exchange, obtain a refund in full or get a discount coupon until March 10, 2010. To participate, you must have purchased a Baby Einstein DVD between June 5, 2004 and September 4, 2009. Follow the website’s instructions and get your refund request coupon here.
Daylight Savings Time Change 2009
I got a call from a friend over the weekend asking if daylight savings time already kicked in because his computer time changed. I know that this year, the day to change our clocks here on the east coast is November 1st @ 2:00 a.m. I remember that it was back in 2007 when it was changed to be during the first week of November.
So I told him, “No, we haven’t changed the time yet!” Always remember to FALL back and SPRING forward. So this time, when 2:00 a.m. comes around on November 1st *(SUNDAY), turn your clock back 1 hour which would give you an extra hour of sleep time… or extra hour at the bar …and have another drink.
This is not applicable to all states however and you must know that some states don’t even have to do anything during the time-change.
If you want to know more about the details of why and how we do it.. visit the National Geographic site. It provides the more interesting details other than getting an extra hour of sleep this coming weekend.

Very well-fitting for our youth today… Armida Siguion Reyna.. Tagubilin at Habilin
I must admit po na I haven’t heard of this CD before. I heard it for the first time while I was in Sao Paulo, Brazil with my friend who brought his iPod with him. After the never-ending sounds of Techno-Mix from the models we are staying with (yes, we were staying with Brazilian models… grabe!), my friend decided to hook his iPod up and let the models suffer while we listen to Tagalog muzak! I never even knew that Armida Siguion-Reyna put out a CD! There are very good and funny selections in the CD and I WANT A COPY!!
This is one of the selections and while I was a bit emotional at the time (pauwi na kami the next day), I heard the words of Armida Siguion-Reyna taken from her CD POP LOLA (photo above). I couldn’t help but digest the words and what it means and I thought – hmmm.. this makes a lot of sense!! Nakita ko ang mga weaknesses ko… and I really am going to take these advices to heart. Mabuhay ka!
Habilin at Tagubilin

Mabuhay ka, kaibigan!
Mabuhay ka!
Iyan ang una’t huli kong
Tagubilin at habilin:
Mabuhay ka!Sa edad kong ito, marami akong maibibigay na payo.
Mayaman ako sa payo.Maghugas ka ng kamay bago kumain.
Maghugas ka ng kamay pagkatapos kumain.
Pero huwag kang maghuhugas ng kamay para lang makaiwas sa sisi.
Huwag kang maghuhugas ng kamay kung may inaapi
Na kaya mong tulungan.Paupuin sa bus ang matatanda at ang mga may kalong na sanggol.
Magpasalamat sa nagmamagandang-loob.
Matuto sa karanasan ng matatanda
Pero huwag magpatali sa kaisipang makaluma.Huwag piliting matulog kung ayaw kang dalawin ng antok.
Huwag pag-aksayahan ng panahon ang walang utang na loob.
Huwag makipagtalo sa bobo at baka ikaw ay mapagkamalang bobo.
Huwag bubulong-bulong sa mga panahong kailangang sumigaw.Huwag kang manalig sa bulung-bulungan.
Huwag kang papatay-patay sa ilalim ng pabitin.
Huwag kang tutulog-tulog sa pansitan.Umawit ka kung nag-iisa sa banyo.
Umawit ka sa piling ng barkada.
Umawit ka kung nalulungkot.
Umawit ka kung masaya.Ingat lang.
Huwag kang aawit ng “My Way” sa videoke bar at baka ka mabaril.
Huwag kang magsindi ng sigarilyo sa gasolinahan.
Dahan-dahan sa matatarik na landas.
Dahan-dahan sa malulubak na daan.Higit sa lahat, inuulit ko:
Mabuhay ka, kaibigan!
Mabuhay ka!
Iyan ang una’t huli kong
Tagubilin at habilin:
Mabuhay ka!Maraming bagay sa mundo na nakakadismaya.
Mabuhay ka.
Maraming problema ang mundo na wala na yatang lunas.
Mabuhay ka.Sa hirap ng panahon, sa harap ng kabiguan,
Kung minsan ay gusto mo nang mamatay.
Gusto mong maglaslas ng pulso kung sawi sa pag-ibig.
Gusto mong uminom ng lason kung wala nang makain.
Gusto mong magbigti kung napakabigat ng mga pasanin.
Gusto mong pasabugin ang bungo mo kung maraming gumugulo sa utak.Huwag kang patatalo. Huwag kang susuko.
Narinig mo ang sinasabi ng awitin:
“Gising at magbangon sa pagkagupiling,
Sa pagkakatulog na lubhang mahimbing.”
Gumising ka kung hinaharana ka ng pag-ibig.
Bumangon ka kung nananawagan ang kapuspalad.Ang sabi ng iba: “Ang matapang ay walang-takot lumaban.”
Ang sabi ko naman: Ang tunay na matapang ay lumalaban
Kahit natatakot.Lumaban ka kung inginungodngod ang nguso mo sa putik.
Bumalikwas ka kung tinatapak-tapakan ka.
Buong-tapang mong ipaglaban ang iyong mga prinsipyo
Kahit hindi ka sigurado na agad-agad kang mananalo.Mabuhay ka, kaibigan!
Mabuhay ka!
Iyan ang una’t huli kong
Tagubilin at habilin:
Mabuhay ka!
I’m so excited for Rio in 2016. Maybe I’ll pay a visit before then.
Going to Brazil last month was a dream come true. Little did I know that I will fall in love with the city and its people. Yes, Chuva Chienes is learning how to speak Portuguese. O meu nome Chuva. E moro em Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Muito fazer. Obrigada!
But the most exciting part of it was very timely when Rio won the bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics last week beating Chicago, Madrid and Tokyo. And this video shows you why I fell in love with the city.

Butse Gang Celebrates a milestone for one of its members
Ang pinaka masarap na “killing me softly” na hindi ko natikman. Lechong Kawali!
Hokay?! It has been ages since we had a party. Di ba nga recession kaya toned-down ang mga gatherings ng “Butse Gang”. But this time, our Brian Gorrell persona reached a milestone and it was worth celebrating.
The Butse Gang has been around for quite some time now. I remember when I moved back to East Coast back in 1997, the group had already existed. There were some 15 or so people in the group. Mga vaklang verde and dugo! Haha! Imagine a house-full of these people, baka ‘di nyo ma-carry.
Years passed and I can’t even believe that it’s been 12 years since I met them. The group has grown to approximately 30 people but to the extent that some would drop off and others would join. It remains a solid group even though some of us have moved on to other things.
The parties are always the best. We get together and we forget about the “alitan” and we turn into Tupperware for several hours “para makipag-plastikan” for the sake of peace… Bwahahaha! It works. We give the celebrant the respect they deserve.
This year’s party wasn’t much different. Excellent food, great company and of course – - MGA INTRIGA! Here are the photos from the party. Maraming kuwento pero next time na lang. Mga sikretong di kapani-paniwala.
Happy Birthday Lee!!
The case of the stolen identity of Jackie Bermejo
Photo Credit: ZDNet.com
Alright. It’s time to clear the air. Jackie (Jacque) Bermejo is a victim. We all (should) know that by now. It is an act of a despicable identity theft that has rocked Jackie’s world to unprecedented proportions. One could just imagine how devastating it is for an innocent victim who fell prey to someone’s maliscious intent to tarnish her name. It must have been a nightmare for her waking up one morning to find out her name and her photo has been plastered all over the worldwide web with negative comments and hatred from her own countrymen to say the least. It may have been very terrifying for her to walk the streets alone and be recognized as the “alleged Filipina who made a harsh comment” about the flood that wreaked havoc in the lives of many Filipino citizens. I cannot even fathom the fear that she had felt.
Bayanihan Fund Drive: Donate to Ondoy Flood Victims

The Biggest Party of the Year is here!
Well, mga ka-chika! This is it. Another year is almost over and the fact is, the Butse Gang haven’t had much parties this year. Haller! Recession kaya! Haha! Kaya naman, we opted to do the minimal things lang to get together and have fun. The group gets together every second Friday of the month for the Jaded Lounge event hosted by ASIAC here in Philadelphia. It’s for a good cause and friends get the chance to get together and slip away from their very busy schedules.
The last big thing that the Butse Gang did was camping at a gay camp somewhere in Pennsylvania. I cannot remember the name of the camp… mashonda na me… LOL.
Anyway – - highway, tonight will be the biggest event ever. One of the Butse Gang members will turn the big *O. Haha – hindi puedeng i-reveal ang age.. baka ma-ban ako sa party.
Kahit na mga pariwara ang Butse Gang, mababait din yang mga yan. And we love parties. Kaya naman, the party tonight will be the biggest party we will have this year… ready na ang mga traje de boda at sabi nga ni Bryanboy, “It’s never too early for sequins!!” Hahaha.
I will be back to post pictures of the event.. kaya balik lang kayo mga ka-chika!
The Gaydar Experiment on Facebook – Are you revealing too much?
I read that two MIT students ran an experiment using social media giant, FACEBOOK to determine if and whether a person is gay by using a formula to look at your affiliation, friends, religion blah blah blah and it could actually provide details that would likely say whether you’re gay or not?! Huh!!!
To a degree, I would agree. Just by looking at your associations on FB, no matter how you hide your true identity, one can pretty much guess whether you have the sling or the swing! I, for one could tell you that after comments left by my gay friends on my photos – I can assure you that no one in the world still think that I’m straight unless they are in super dooper denial (my eldest sister) and think that I’m still a good match for the nurse that she knows from the hospital where she works.
But affiliation to groups and religion? Maybe. I mean, most of the gays I know are Democrats and if 80 per cent of their friends are men… yeah… no-brainer there. But I do have gay Republican friends as well.
Hmmmm.. If you want to find out more, read the article here.
We’re moving! Chuvachienes dot com will be down this weekend while we move…
Yes chikadoras!! Chuva Chienes dot com is moving this weekend. We have had enough of the timeout errors and bandwidth exceeded notices you’ve been seeing. The current host for Chuva Chienes dot com is not capable of handling the incoming traffic that the blog generates.
To be fair to our readers, this is to notify you that we will be changing host companies and the official date for the move will be this coming Sunday, September 27th.
Don’t worry, we promise a seamless transition – you will never even notice we moved except the promise that Chuva Chienes dot com will be faster and easily accessible from anywhere in the world. Nakakapagod din yung paghihintay ninyo na mag-load yung pages ‘no? Salamat na lang at balik kayo ng balik kahit tumitigok tigok ang blog ko.
I am most specially thankful to the voters of our polls. This move should not affect your votes as we will be transferring the same code over to the new host.
Don’t panic kapag nawala ang Chuva Chienes dot com this weekend. It will be back in a flash… okay?
Our New Poll – Hottest Pinoy Love Team and Best Teleserye Ever…
First of all, I would like to thank the many readers of Chuva Chienes dot com for voting for our Hottest Summer Pinoy Hunk and Sexiest Pinay Babe of 2009.
Then, I would like to congratulate Sam Milby and Angel Locsin for winning the respective titles. They deserved it because the vote was FROM the PEOPLE. Let’s call it Pinoy People’s Choice Award… or PPCA!
Now, mayroon tayong mga favorite love teams and alam ko na mga adik-adik tayong mga Pinoy sa Teleserye. Haha!! Mayroon akong isang kaibigan, hinahayaang mahuli sa eskuwela yung inaalagaan niya basta’t matapos lang niya ang Tayong Dalawa bago sila umalis. Ano ba?! Hahaha!!
The difference between these new polls and the last one is that you can VOTE ONCE EVERY DAY while the last one, you can only vote once. But even still, the last poll garnered over a thousand votes each… so I know people are out there voting. I will let the poll run for one month.
So folks, here’s your chance to get your voices heard once more. Vote on our latest poll located on the right sidebar – - – >>>>
Sao Paulo Brazil – A trip I will never forget.
I never dreamed a time in my life that I would one day travel to Brazil and fall in love with the people there. It’s a place where time doesn’t seem to matter. Kaya siguro voted ng Forbes ang Rio de Janeiro as the number one happiest city in the world according to a Barrio Siete write-up ng sister kong si Mel Beckham. Ang ditse ninyo, di malaman ang gagawin niya sa hinaba haba ng oras. It’s not the same as here in the United States where people are always rushing. Rushing to go to work, rushing to come home…rushing… rushing… rushing.
The trip was nine and a half hours long. I had to drive from my place to fly out of JFK International Airport. So, add another two and a half hours to that. Hindi ko akalaing dahil sa ka-cheapan ko at ayaw magbayad ng mahal na airfare… mas humaba pa ang trip ko. Seriously though, I was traveling with a friend from New York kaya we decided to fly out of JFK instead.
Here’s my view from 30,000 feet. This was before we landed in Sao Paulo.
Shempre, kontingdrama kaya shot-by-shot ang bigay ko sa inyo.
Ang ganda ng mga bundok dun. And it was a little hazy dahil umaga kami dumating.
Ayan, medyo kita na ang city of Sao Paulo.
Ayan – that’s the view bago mag-landing.
This is the elevator that opened up to the Penthouse.. may mga special codes chorva pa para makarating ka sa tuktok!
Through the courtesy of my friend, I got to stay at a Penthouse in the city of Moema.
Di ba sosyal ang friend ng kaibigan ko. At say ninyo, may katulong siya don.
Heto ang view from the balcony. Enclosed ng glass ang balcony niya.
Heto ang length ng balcony and it goes all the way around the Penthouse.
Ang ditse ninyo, afraid of heights – pero nilakasan ko na lang ang loob ko. Haha!
This is just the beginning of the trip… hintayin ninyo ang series ng postings ko about Brazil. Nakakaloka!!
Should anyone really go without health care?
There’s been a lot of debates about the Health Care Reform that President Obama is desperately trying to pass through Congress. There are many that are for it.. and many that aren’t. The details of the Health Care Reform Bill was really vague in the beginning and although town hall meetings and information put out by the White House have explained some of the questions that rose from the town hall meetings may have helped a bit, a lot of citizens are still up in the air about it including myself.
I am non-political and I’ve said that many times before. I voted for President Obama because I wanted change. But it seems that there is really a lot of opposition against this bill that I myself don’t know what to say about it. It is because a lot of the details are still unclear.
I do however have one story to tell and this story may or may not convince you why we need health care for everyone.
What makes them do horrible things? Raymond Clark III charged on Yale Grad Student’s Murder

I don’t understand – and probably will never understand what triggers people to do horrible things such as this. If I remember correctly, just last April another guy dubbed as the “Craigslist Killer” Philip Markoff who allegedly murdered Julissa Brisman after she was discovered lying face down in a pool of blood at a hotel in Boston. She was a masseuse and she was at the hotel to meet a client whom she met on Craigslist which will be featured on Seven Days of Rage . (The program will be broadcast on Saturday, Sept. 19 at 10 p.m. ET/PT in conjunction with the release of the book “Seven Days of Rage: The Deadly Crime Spree of The Craigslist Killer” (Pocket Books) out this week.
Now here comes another guy, Raymond Clark III who was charged Thursday, September 17th, for allegedly killing a 24-year old Yale Grad Student, Annie Le after taking samples of his saliva, hair and fingernail samples to compare with the evidence at Yale’s Medical School.
Both men are good-looking men and had what seems to be promising careers. If you look at their pictures on social networking sites, they appear to be normal and fun-loving individuals. I would never even suspect either one of them to be capable of murdering anyone just by looking at them. But I guess that is the mystery. What makes these individuals commit such horrible crimes?
Even the most angelic-looking guy could be a murderer. Take a look at these photos. Both men look so normal. You will never guess that these men are capable of murder. One can never be too careful these days.

Brazil rocks!
Well hello peeps! Here I am, balik trabaho ulit. I thought one week in Brazil is a long time until I was about to leave last Sunday. I wished I had stayed longer. Pero dahil di naman unlimited ang funds ng ditse ninyo, I had to come back home para magtrabaho ulit. Kailangang mag-ipon para makabalik sa Rio at Sao Paulo.
I will post more pictures but in the meantime, gusto ko lang bigyang pugay si darbs…. haha!! Ayan ha, ginaya ko na ang post mo….
I should be back to my blogging self soon! Ingat ingat lang mga ditse!

Kausap ko si Reynz sa phone kanina. May ibabalita raw sa akin.. Habang nag-kukuwentuhan kami (at ako naman ay nagtitiklop ng mga labada), biglang sinabi ni La Kapitana…
Reynz: “Chuva! Narinig mo ba ‘yon?”
Chuva: “Ang alin?!”
Reynz: “May nag-flush ng toilet ko dito sa apartment!”
Chuva: “Nyeta ka Reynz, huwag mo kong takutin. Nag-iisa lang ako dito sa bahay!”
Reynz: “Hindi nga! Laging nangyayari yan dito sa bahay ko!!”
Chuva: “Babagsakan kita ng telepono! Marami pa namang multo diyan sa New Orleans! Baka sumama pa yang mga yan sa ‘yo!”
Reynz: “Sinabi mo. Pag bumalik ako diyan sa Philadelphia, ibabagsak ko sila sa bahay mo.”
Chuva: “Leche! Hindi kita susunduin sa airport at baka kung ano ang kasama mo pagbalik mo. Sabi nila pag nagustuhan ka raw ng multo, sumasama sa ‘yo.”
Reynz: “Ganun daw yun?”
Chuva: “OO! Maniwala ka!”
Panoorin ninyo itong video na ‘to. Sabihin ninyo sa ‘kin kung hindi totoo.
Tulog na ‘ko! Natakot tuloy akong bigla!
Love Happens – Starring Jennifer Aniston – In Theaters September 18th

I have been infatuated many times in my life. Honestly, too many times that I can’t even count them anymore. But I’ve only fallen in love three times. It’s not a slight on the people I’ve been infatuated with – it’s simply the truth.
I just heard a very nice story from a good friend of mine who’s never fallen in love in his life when I met him. After 12 years of losing in touch with him, we finally got the chance to catch up on things. He fell in love in a way that only happens on story books. It was a meeting by chance and the relationship was totally unexpected. They started out as really good friends. They became best friends first. Then, one night – under the moonlit skies – they realized that they were in love with each other.
The relationship didn’t last long – it only lasted two years. Yet, from how he relates the story to me – it seems as if he was experiencing it for the first time. I just had to smile.
That is why this movie is one that I would like to watch. I want to believe in fairy tales again. I want to believe that true love does exist. Do you think it’s possible? Does love really just happen?
