Progress Tacurong City

As I'm giving my contribution to post for promoting my beloved Tacurong. I was born and raised here for 29 years. I had witnessed how my city progress. Before some roads were not yet fixed but now almost where you go it is cemented. Before we experienced flooding wherein the water level rose up and went inside our house. It was a devastating moment because  4 sacks of our rice were damage. It was a disaster. We accepted that as an accident. We move on. Then I noticed every time there's strong typhoon coming, the water level would not even reach our gate. I realize the City Government of Tacurong is giving their best to prevent that incident to happen again. Thank goodness our government is making a move to serve its people.

The Sun is Rise

I'm making a habit to wake up early in the morning. One thing that excite me most is to go outside and feel the sun hit my face. Recently, I received a message from Tacurong, Sultan Kudarat page inviting bloggers to post in promoting the place for the upcoming Foundation Anniversary on September 18. As a blogger I will make my share. I took that photo using my cellphone a few weeks ago it captures the beautiful rising of the sun where you enjoy each moment you were standing there, witnessing how grateful I am to be in that positioned. 

I messed up big time

Just last week my friends and I went to Surigao, del Sur to have good time with each other after a long separation. In the last day, we went window shopping, share laughter and eating together. When we decided to go home it's past 3 p.m. We reach van terminal at around 4 p.m. due to traffic because it was rush hour. There's a van available. We place our belongings and all of a sudden there's a a commotion going on. My friend doesn't want to put the baggage of other passenger in the middle of their seats because she's uncomfortable. The driver was mad, so he told us to leave and transfer to the next van. As a friend, I went with them. We waited for the van to full with 12 passengers on it. We leave Davao City at around 6 p.m. While on the road the driver drives so fast in my estimate it reach 100 kph. We almost got into accident because our driver overtake to the 10 wheeler truck and there's a strange man who happen to pass on the other lane. According to one of the passenger he had save by his guardian angel. I reach home past 9 p.m. First thing I noticed is my mother's expression. She is mad why I'm late even though  she never speak to me. It's a daughter instinct I guess. That Tuesday afternoon she bade goodbye to me and went to the farm her second home. We exchanged text messages if she want to know something or she want me to do some things. I think were okay for that moment. 

Awhile ago, my dad went home to finish his things to do list. Unfortunately, he didn't finish it because of the rain and because of me. I am so inconsiderate person. I let my dad suffer and be wet. Now, my mother is mad at me. Why I'm like this? I always prioritize my friends rather than my family. I should have use my coconut shell to decide what comes first. I feel guilty for my dad. I'm sorry dad. I'm sorry Mom. 

Coming out

I was 14 when I finally admit to myself that I like girls rather than guys. In my adolescent years I have crushes on pretty girls. I never knew that time what is identity crisis. All I know my heart belongs to girls. I have my first girl relationship when I was 14 years old. She was 6 years older than me. I fell head over heels in love with my English teacher. It lasted for over 6 months. Damn! that sucks! But I get over it when I met my third girlfriend. Maybe you're wondering why I skip the second one because it's just a fling. She was a year older than me. She likes me the first time she laid my eyes on me. ( that was she told me)  But I didn't take advantage on that. I befriended her first, get to know her a little more. Then we became girlfriends for four months. Those four months were a roller coaster ride. We ended our relationship well I think. Then I met my fourth girlfriend. I don't have so much memories of her. I guess I don't like her that much. I will post next time what happen next.:)

"Being gay is not a disease"

Earlier today, I watched the interview of Winnie Monsod with her guest Charice Pempengco or Charmaine Clarice Pempengco in real life. If you are curious who is this charice, she is an international artist. She has a phenomenal voice when you listen to her as if you were in cloud nine. She guested on Ellen De generes show and Oprah Winfrey show. David Foster was the one helping her build up her singing career in the States. Last Month she revealed her true identity many were shocked even me. But then I salute her for being brave enough to tell the world that she is gay. She is happy and in love with her girlfriend Alyssa Quijano. 

I quoted her answer during her interview. She answered the allegations that were throwing at her with confidence. Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines made a statement that maybe she is was just confused with her age she is not matured enough to know her real identity. She answered 'being gay is not a sin, it's not a disease that's why you cannot find a cure. It's a choice a person." And I absolutely agree on that :)

Miami Heat wins 2013 NBA Championship

Not just us Filipinos who were an NBA fan but all around the globe who watched the game 7 of the NBA 2013 Championship between Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs. It was one of the phenomenal I have ever seen. The cheering and the noise I made during the game were countless. My nervous was top of my head because the game was crucial. The spurs did their best but wasn't good enough. On the other hand, the Miami Heat headed by the 3 time Most Valuable Player Lebron James was ecstatic. He lead his team to a victory once again. Congratulations to Erik Spoelstra their coach our very own. We filipinos are so proud of you for what you have accomplished. Kudos to all Miami team and staff for such a tremendous, amazing and fabulous game.  

It's my Birthday again:)

Hooray! Thank you Lord for another year you have given to me. I may not be perfect in your eyes because of the sins that I commit but trying my best to be a good disciple here on earth. Thank you for I'm surrounded by the people who love me endlessly and accept me for who I am. Words can't express how grateful I am for the numerous blessings you showered upon me and my entire family. I have three wishes for this year. 

• Please give my entire family and friends good health.
• Please give me the right opportunity to land a job
• Please help our farm for it is our livelihood.

My journey of losing weight part 2

I work my ass out everyday to achieve my 55 kilos goal. If you could imagine my sweat was dripping throughout my body not to mention my muscles pain. My determination, sacrifices, and support of the people  I love keeps me going. Internet and electricity were the primary tool that I reach my goal without I am still the old Janz who were living unhealthy lifestyle. I think there is nothing wrong if I go beyond my past goal weight.  Currently, I'm reaching my 50 kilos weight goal. I weighted just this morning I'm 52 kilos, another 2 kilos to burn. I encourage my close friends to do the same because we are not getting any younger. By and by we will reach 30 years old. That's what I always told them. I want to inspire my readers to do the same. There is noting wrong with exercise. God gave you 24 hours a day, if you love yourself enough why don't you spend even an hour a day to exercise. There is nothing to lose if you will do it. Don't forget to Pray for guidance. Good luck readers:)

My journey of losing weight part 1

"Overweight" that's what people keep on calling me. For years I've been living this kind of life. Eat unhealthy foods, Drink alcohol, smoking cigarettes averaging 1 pack a day, and too lazy to exercise. It was September 18, 2012 I decided to quit smoking totally. It's a very difficult decision to make for someone who depends on cigarettes for over five long years. It was awakening decision for me to all of a sudden change the routine of my life. For the first months, it was not easy. I woke up early in the morning to jog and do my household chores. I was physically and mentally tired but I keep going on because I had this positive attitude that I will lose weight in due time. My determination keeps me going. I went through a lot. Muscles pain and stomach pain name it. I experience it. I even tried to drink curvy for more than a month. It's a slimming orange juice, you will drink it 30 minutes before breakfast and you will lose your appetite. As for me, I didn't lose my appetite totally its just a state of mind. I sacrifice eating lots of carbohydrates especially rice. I thought m world turns upside down if I will not going to eat rice but to no avail I was wrong. There's a lot of substitute of eating carbohydrates not just rice. Internet is one of the effective way that I lose weight. If I can't jog I see to it I find time to do taebo. Taekwondo Boxing workout wherein Billy Blanks a renowned physical fitness instructor is the one who help me keep going. I like the way he shares his wisdom to everyone who is doing taebo. I even sacrifice drinking soft drinks. I discipline myself to exercise at least one hour a day. Just to burn calories. 

Taken last December 2011

You never know what your future brings, in this life nothing is uncertain. This photo was taken last December 2011 during our high school reunion. I weighted 65 kilos to 66 kilos. I don't exercise. I eat whatever I like. Most of the night  I'm drunk. I don't care at all. This was the result of it;(

Hardship

These are the men and women who work hard in order to provide food in our table. I saute every individual who   dedicate their lives in this kind of work. The life of farmers is very difficult because you will wait for almost three months to reap your crops. 

Gold Rush

Recently I was fascinated to watch reality tv show especially Discovery Channel. I've learned the hardships of men and women behind the camera and on the camera to make this successful show going for almost 2 seasons now. Their sacrifices they are going through leaving their families behind and search for the gold. bravo to those individuals who make these biggest sacrifice to support their family at home. 

Bullying

I had experienced bullying as I was trying to recall my memories when I was young and up to the present. When I was young I want to be the leader of my class. A leader who wants to play all the time and not to study. If someone doesn't like my rules she is out. My classmate doesn't to follow my rules, so she find new friends and formed a group. There was a time I was passing to a corridor and they are in my way whispering and at the same time laughing. I heard that they are talking about me. I didn't fought back I just went straight to my destination. All of a sudden, I realize this is karma. Whatever you do to the least of your brothers will do unto you.

Pissed off

Until now I'm in a bit of shock of what happened to me last Saturday. I'm on my way to the public market and I decided to walk just to have an exercise. When this man calling me "PARE" which means brother. I was intimidated by that person. I didn't respond but I glance at him for awhile. I'm trying to collect my thoughts if I knew him but I failed. As I passed by, he kept on calling "PARE" . I was pissed but to my surprised I lifted my hand and show fuck sign. I was guilty after doing that to the person whom I didn't know. I realize how immature Iam for fighting back. It shows that I'm not professional enough to handle such incidents like this. And made me realize I let myself and my family down again. I level my degree of education to tat person. I'm willing to apologize if we cross our ways again.

Wrong Spelling Wrong

Yesterday was market day here in Tacurong City. One place you want to visit while you're here is the public market where all the second hand items located. My goal is to look for my puppies clothes but to no avail I didn't found one. I bought shirts for my nephew because he was celebrating his 11th birthday. Then I notice lots of signs of these (picture). It caught my attention because it was misspelled.:)

Boredome

Sometimes all the things that I want to write were on my head and when I'm facing the laptop all of them gone. I had great time in the children's party awhile ago. I saw my friends faye niece Princess Jana. Jana is so adorable and pretty too. Her father is arab while her mother is filipina. Great combination, I was full, I brought balloons and 1 cup of cake.

The Miami Heat champion of NBA 2012

My initial reaction when The Miami Heat win the championship in game 5 was sad. I don't know why I like to cheer the under dog team. I shed a tear when I saw the star player of Oklahoma City thunder Kevin Durant crying while hugging his mom. One of the defensive team is Miami Heat, I know in my heart that OKC will beat them someday. 

Happy 28th Birthday to me

Today, I'm celebrating my 28th Birthday. I wish good health and sound mind. I wish my dream will come true. I wish I will found the one for me. I wish to serve more people. I wish to love my family and friends more.

Facial

While ago, I treat my best friend Mae for facial cleaning. She celebrated her 28th birthday last April 10. We had no chance in celebrating her birthday because she was in Davao city to have her review. Their instructor gave her 4 days to rest and she didn't waste her time in spending quality time with her nephew, parents, sibling and staying at their store. I don't know what will my gift to her. I thought of having her relax for a few hours so we went to Toledo med to avail their facial. She was surprise and she love it...
