..nothing that will interest you..
it's just me and my blogs..
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
enough reason
Maybe it’s the way you stare at me
That gives me enough reason
To keep your image inside my head
Might it be the gestures you make?
That provides my system
To maintain your name on my lips
Perhaps you have this smile
That formulates every key
That is missing in me all along
Possibly it’s just your personality
That creates the unusual feeling
That I’m trying to contemplate when I’m near you
-halcyon
cant barely say
Whats inside my heart
Got me twisted
Wrapped inside your heart
You seem so hard
Cant figure out the deal
Got me addicted
With uncertain thoughts
Maybe this heart’s owned by you
Maybe this heart beats for you
Somewhere along the road
You caught my eye
Somewhere along the path
You change my way
-halcyon
There’s something in your eyes
That I can’t figure out why I can’t control
My thoughts on you
There’s this spark in your smile
That made my nerves unconsciously
Crave for something unattainable
There’s something in your gestures
That I can’t give the impression to form
The accurate statement to tell you the reality
The certainty that your exceptional character
Seal every fragment of sect in my senses
That you jumpstart the whole part of my being

at around 1100 H yesterday a 1st timer hiker died at Mt. Batulao, Im a Hiker and still a beginner, I guess that incident should serve as a warning to those people who wants to try mountain climbing as their hobby. Its not as easy and relaxing as it sounded. Hikers need an enough preparation before they climb a mountain, might it be a major or a minor climb. Based on my experience I lack on preparation everytime I climb a mountain but I still mend to be careful with every step I make. Im not shy to admit that Im afraid that I might fall on the edge. I guess I have these simple rules for myself
1st - Be brave enough to try new things and new trail but also be brave enough to say that youre afraid
2nd - dont pretend that you dont need the help of your co-mountaineer
3rd -take every step on the trail slowly but surely ( you might be the cause of delay but atleast youre all safe
4th - trust your co-mountaineer and never leave them so they wont leave you
I guess those 4 rules I have are the things I unconsciously applying everytime I have a mountain to climb. with those simple rules MAYBE (theres no assurance in this world) I can conquer whatever I want and need to conquer.
to all mountaineers out there..let the incident be a lesson to us and to all those people who wants to try this hobby be sure that you guys have someone expert/professional with you..
mountain climbing is not setting a new record its about being close to nature and appreciating the beauty of it.
minsan iniisip ko sana ang buhay parang pag akyat lang sa bundok. May mga madadaanan kang komplikadong trail pero alam mo pa din kung saan ka patungo. hindi tulad ng buhay ng mga tao, madadaan ka sa komplikadong sitwasyon pero madalas hindi mo pa din alam kung saan ka patungo. kung papunta ka ba sa taong nag bibigay komplikasyon sa buhay mo o papunta ka sa kawalan na hindi mo alam kung paano ka mag sisimula ulit. sa pag akyat ng bundok alam mo sa bawat trail na madadaanan mo nakaka excite at alam mong mararamdaman mo pa ulit yung excitement na yun sa next na bundok na aakyatin mo. eh sa buhay ng tao pag hindi mo tinuloy yung komplikasyon na yun hindi mo alam kung makakaramdam ka pa ulit ng kahit anong emosyon sa ibang tao. pero madalas pag umaakyat ng bundok andun pa din yung urge at goal mo na maakyat yung summit eh, pero pag dating sa buhay o pagmamahal sa isang tao habang tumatagal at nagiging komplikado nawawala nalang yung urge mo na tumuloy pa paunta sakanya o ituloy pa yung trail na tinatahak mo.Dahil siguro parang pag akyat din ng bundok- nakakatakot pag alam mong malapet ka ng bumagsak sa banggin na puro bato, at bago ka pa mahulog sa ibaba madame ka ng sugat na natamo ang masama pa nun unti unit kang pinhihirapan. siguro yun lang ang pagkakaparehas ng pagmamahal/buhay sa pag akyat ng bundok eh. yung may pagkakataon na matatakot kang mahulog sa bangin at masugatan habang gumugulong ka pababa. parang pagmamahal mo sa isang tao..patuloy kang nahuhulog sa bangin na puno ka na ng galos at sugat at hindi mo pa din alam kung mabubuhay ka pa pagdating mo sa ibaba.kung mabuhay ka naman mahihirapan ka ng umakyat ulit dahil may trauma ka na.
The Court of Appeals, in its Decision dated 5 January 2012, granted the appeal of PICE and reversed the Decision of the Regional Trial Court regarding the Architecture Act of 2004 (RA9266) which includes the prohibition of the signing of Architectural Plans by the Civil Engineers.
I really don’t get why does the court of Appeals have this kind of decisions. Architecture is way more different from civil engineering. I’m not against Civil Engineers I have a brother that is a licensed Engineer, and I’m not an Architect either.Though I studied 5 years of architecture. Ang labo lang ng court of appeals kase parang they are saying na people dont need an architect, na architect is just a name but useless.its like a project will just use an architect for drawing purposes then after that they won’t need the approval of an architect fot that certain plan. well that’s bullshit. sorry for the foul language but parang sinabe na din nila na wag na kayo mag take ng architecture for 5 years at wag na din kayo mag work as apprentice for 2 years, at wag na kayo mag take ng board exam kase tiga drawing lang naman kayo ng layout and plano ng isang project eh.so why take a board exam pa. diba?Im not actually a graduate of architecture but i want to be an Architect someday. yung tipong may tatawag sayong Architect at may mag papapirma sayo ng plano o may i-aapprove kang plano. pero kung ganito lang din naman pala na magiging tiga drawing lang ang mga architect ng layout at plan so baket ko pa gugustuhin maging licensed architect eh di itutuloy ko nalang ang trabaho ko as a draftsman.
Hindi ko alam kung paano sila nag come up sa ganitong idea na ang civil engineers na ang pipirma ng plan. maybe bec. mas technical sa pagkaka alam nila ang civil engineer pero (excuse me sa mga engineer) pinag aralan ba ng mga civil enginner ang tamang circulation ng tao,hangin,ilaw,furnitures sa loob ng isang structure.? pinag aralan ba nila kung anong klaseng acoustics and lights ang dapat sa isang area ng structure na ginagawa nila..?pinag aralan ba nila kung saan nag simula ang pag dedesign ng isang structure pinag aralan ba nilang mag conceptualize ng isang structure from one simple object to a big structure? naituro ba sakanila ang tamang detalye ng bawat sulok ng bahay o ng building? oo nga mas technical ang civil engineering compared sa architecture but how can one form something without the idea of an architect. sige may mga engineer na creative but its not their nature to be on the aesthetic side and still balance the strength of a structure.
i’m not being bias here but I think architecture is a combination of engineering and designing. during my time we have a subject about engineering math, strength of materials and other stuff that involves engineering matter. plus we also have a subject(major subject) on designing. not just designing, planning,designing, conceptualizing,rendering and lots of stuff about being artistic and creative. So why put out the name of the architect that made the plan possible and realistic out of the working drawings?
I have some example that will prove to everyone that being an architect is not just a drawing matter.
the matrix movie-Im not a fan but yung part ng napanood ko dun is yung matrix may MASTER ARCHITECT. the architect is the master mind of the matrix itself.and only the architect can answer their quest.
the inception - another movie na may architect which is yung gumagawa ng isang place sa isip para mabuo ang inception. without the architect it is impossible for them na magawa yung mission nila. why? simple.walang master mind eh.
simple truth about architecture(hindi sa pagmamayabang kase hindi pa ako graduate and di pa ako architect) without the architect there will be no beautiful structures na tinitignan at pinipicturan naten ngayon. without the architect wala tayong maayos na plano ng kahit anong strcuture ngayon. without the architect we wont be able to enjoy the beauty and the technical side of every structure without the architect there will be bo idea at all.
so please sa court of appeal try to think harder. hindi lang yung mga pangalan nung architect ang at stake dito pati yung mga pangarap ng mga mag cocollege na maging architect someday.You guys are wise enough to think that this decision will workk but I guess it’ll be wiser for you not to change the article for a whatever reason. whatever it is it wont be reasonable.
We will fight for the ARCHITECTURE Profession.
As a sign of dismay to the Court of Appeals, in its Decision dated 5 January 2012, granting the appeal of PICE and reversed the Decision of the Regional Trial Court with regards to the signing of plans.
Let us wear a Black Ribbon
this is so cool and cute!!
Nung napanood ko tong video na to hindi ko alam kung anong meron dito na nag trigger sa sistema ko na gumawa ng blog or just write something about this video.
Actually napaka positive ng outlook ng kantang to though sinsabe sa mga stanza na hindi ganun kadali mag mahal. Which is absolutely true naman. parang ang hirap din masabe sa ibang tao na mahal mo sila na tipong kahit anong mangyare hindi ka magbabago. But this video gives us hope na meron pa din taong ganun ang pag mamahal. Actually habang papakinggan mo yung song you’ll realize na hindi lang ‘to para sa specific na tao na mahal mo romantically eh. Pwedeng sa parents mo, friends mo even kay God. Its up to the listener kung para kanino talaga nila gusto sabihin o kantahin tong kantang to.
“Pag-ibig” is actually a general feeling para sa mga taong nakapaligid sayo. katulad nga ng isang part ng kanta na ‘to na definition ng love.If you have that kind of feeling to anybody(generally) malalaman mong nagmamahal ka nga. Pero usually nakakalimutan na naten na ang pag ibig ay para sa lahat, We all have the notion na pag sinabe mong pag ibig unang papasok sa isip mo ay “lover” mo or boyfriend or girlfriend mo. pero honestly applicable yun sa lahat ng aspeto o sa lahat ng taong mahal mo talaga.
anyway..sobrang cool nitong video at kanta na to ni Yeng Constantino.astig
baket nga ba ako nag papa burda ng katawan ko..?
una trip ko lang talaga. Dun naman ata talaga nag uumpisa lahat eh “trip mo lang” . Trip mo lang pumunta sa ganitong lugar then eventually magiging tambayan o lage mo ng pupuntahan yung lugar na yun, pag nagustuhan mo. Di lang nga pag nagustuhan mo eh, pag meron din kakaibang pakiramdam o satisfaction na nadudulot sayo yung lugar na yun. Katulad lang din ng pagpapa burda ko sa katawan ko sa specific part ng body ko.
First tattoo ko - Ang 1st tattoo ko ay yung fallen angel, actually hindi naman talaga ganyan dapat yung design nyan eh, pero dahil sa sobrang kating kati na ako ma experience ang pag papatattoo yan ang kinalabasan, nilagyan lang ng konting touch ko, pinagawa kong red hair kase nung time na yan may highlights akong pula sa buhok ko.
second tattoo - My 2nd tatt is my super fave. tattoo sa lahat ng tattoo ko, kase pinag isipan ko talaga to, nakalagay sa sa may left rib ko. A poem I made about myself. I decided na gawin syang mirrored text kase- I think parang ako you have to look deeper and pay so much attention before mo maintindihan yung gusto kong ipakita or ipahiwatig.
third tattoo- Bamboo actually hindi ako naging kuntento sa kinalabasan ng tatt ko na to. Its located at my upper left back. well anyway bamboo kase napanaginipan ko sya and Im thinking about a bamboo the whole day before ako mag pa tatt. Plus it symbolizes strength.
fourth tattoo - Located at my right forearm a lyrics from a song that say ” I got it where I want it now” actually parang mababaw yung phrase na yun for other people. but for me hindi naman mababaw. i guess hindi mababaw yung reason na I’m using my right hand sa lahat ng ginagawa ko, sa job, sa pag susulat ko, sa lahat halos ng ginagawa ko. gusto ko ipaalala (kahit hindi naman kaylangan ipaalala pa) sa sarili ko na sa pag gawa o pag gamet ko ng right hand ko I will get what I want at that moment if..only if I use it right.
fifth tattoo - at my left forearm.actually etongt tatt na to yung napag tripan ko lang talaga..(haha) but ever since na naburda tong celtic cross na to sa akin parang naging sobrang blessed ako with everything (na-take for granted ko lang..) parang there’s something inside of me na I felt na hindi ako papabayan ni God. Though I admit na hindi ako sobrang religious na tao. but the thing that symbolizes something sacred ay naka burda na sa katawan ko.
una trip trip lang..hanggang sa hindi na ako nakuntento sa isang tintang panghabang buhay sa katawan ko, una trip trip lang pero sa bawat tinta na nakalagay sa katawan ko ay may kanya kanyang storya na patuloy pa din na gumagawa ng storya sa buhay ko. parang pag gawa lang ng short story na may drawing. bawat tinta iba iba ang gusto iparating, bawat kurba iba iba ang knkwentong pagkatao.pagkatao na parang pagpapatattoo, hindi mo maiintindihan ang pakiramdam hanggang hindi mo nararanasan.

nahuli kong makita to sayang naka gawa na ako ng blog about sa climb namen. anyway I want to write something about this video about this part of our climb.
I didnt realized that the climb we had,the climb I had was that fun and exciting until I watched this video. i missed the fun part of the climb, i dont know why maybe my mind was not on the trip the whole time. I have work in my mind and a girlfriend to update. maybe that’s the reason why I missed the fun part of the climb but anyways.
It come to my senses that this was not all about reaching or conquering another mountain for us mountaineers. I think its about us having fun despite the fact that we are on the edge of something that we are not certain. Especially if we don’t have any idea on what kind of trail we are taking, on what’s inside the trail that may cause us to have a delay. But like what I said despite that fact, we still choose to continue whatever path we need to take because we love this kind of thrill. We choose to pursue because deep inside each of us we love this kind of excitement. A kind of excitement that completes the blood stream inside of our body.
Conquering and reaching the summit - we all know that it is the number one reason for pursuing the climb. But behind those goals mountaineers longs for something extraordinary at the summit. Something that will trigger his/ her senses that will make him/her love climbing more. Something unexplainable that will make him/her pause on the city life he/she has. Something rational that will keep him/her going to the extremes. Something that even the most successful mountaineers can’t say out loud. An unspoken understanding to every climbers.

Paano nga ba malalaman ang dapat sa hindi dapat? kung ang pag pipilian mo ay pagiging selfish mo at susundin mo ang sinasabe ng isang bahagi ng utak mo. O ang pagiging mapag bigay mo at susunduin ang binubulong ng isa pang bahagi ng utak mo?
paano nga ba malalaman ang dapat sa hindi dapat? paano nga ba..?
Dati madalas kong maramdaman na Im caught in the middle of the situation, pero madalas kong pinapakinggan ay yung bagay na gusto ko at kaya kong panindigan. Akala ko master ko na yung ganun decision making- hindi pa din pala. Its not all about sa kaya mo lang panindigan pala.
Paano ka nga ba pipili kung kaya mo naman panindigan yung parehong sitwasyon. Ang catch lang dun ay meron kang dapat isang i-give up. baket? simple lang, kase yung personalidad mo ay hindi kayang mag keep up sa ganung sitwasyon. Kase hindi mo kayang isabay ang pag ayos ng buhay ng ibang tao sa pag ayos ng buhay mo. Baket ulet? simple lang ulet. kase alam mo sa sarili mo na hindi ka pwedeng mag focus sa dalawang bagay with the same amount/level of attention and energy. Actually wala naman ata nakakagawa ng ganun, eventually meron ka pa din ma-gigive up along the way.
so paano nga ba?
Sa tingin ko hindi “baket” ang pinaka mahirap na tanong na pwede kong sagutin, kase sa pagkaka alam at paniniwala ko, lahat ng bagay o nangyayare may dahilan kung “baket”. Pero pag tinanong ka kung paano, parang kaylangan mo pang mag isip ng paulet ulit kung ano ang tamang proseso kung paano ka nag come up sa isang idea. O di kaya may reason ka kung baket mo gagawin ang isang bagay pero hindi mo alam kung paano mo magagawa ng tama o paano la mag dedecide ng tama. You have all the reason to do those things but cant find the perfect way on “how” to start doing those things
I just realized that life can be so ironc, most people say that life is unfair but in reality life is not unfair, we thought that it is unfair but in fact life is ironic.
You have the reason but you dont know how to act on the things you need to do..

another long drive from Mt.Tibayoc going to Mt. Pulag jump off umaga na kame nakarating sa jump off Mt. Pulag we were supposed to take Tawangan trail going to Mt. Pulag. actually nagstart na kame , mga almost 2 hours na ata kame naglalakad then we stopped just to eat our lunch sa isang place dun na may water source..but the weather doesnt participate on our escapade. One of our Officer in TAPIK decided not to pursue the trail we are taking. dahil sa bad weather.plus halos lahat ng gamet namen basa na and yung iba puro limatik na.(linta) so we just ate our lunch there and go back to the jump off. nadisappoint ako ng konti but its for safety purposes naman.plus I think if tinuloy namen yun may isang hindi magiging ok yung pakiramdam..maybe isa na ako dun..(hahaha)
so another long drive going to another trail.dumating kame sa ranger camp ng i guess around 1:00 or 2:00 am. dun na kame nagpahinga. yung iba sa loob ng bahay kubo , yung iba ng pitch ng tent at yung iba sa jeep nalang natulog, hindi dahil sa walang pwesto kundi dahil maiinit sa loob ng jeep (isa na ako dun sa mas pinili ang jeep..haha..)thank God again umaraw nung pag gising namen so lahat ng basang gamet at damet namen nakalatag at nakasampay kung saan saan para lang mapatuyo namen..
we need to start trekking at exactly 1:00pm para pagdating namen sa camp site mag ddinner na kame then socialize dapat sa ibang mountaineers.
after ilang hours ng pag ttrek,dumating kame ng camp site around 5 or 6 pm ata. may araw pa nun pero chances nga naman umuulan at maputik nanaman ang pag akyat namen so doble i guess yung lamig ng hangin na dumadampi nanaman sa katawan namen. nafeel ko nanaman yung tipong ayaw mo ng umalis at gumalaw sa kinakaupuan mo dahil nanginginig ka na sa lameg pero kaylangan mong kumilos at magpalit ng damet kase basa ng ulan yung damet mo.( ano ba naman tong ginagawa namen sa sarili namen imbis na nakahiga kame sa kame nanonood lang, pinapahirapan namen sarili namen) ilang beses ata namen sinabe ang linyang yan sa buong akyat namen.weird but totoo nga naman..(hahaha)
dun na kame nag pitch ng tent sa camp site mga 20-30 mins walk before summit nalang yun.
Thank God AGAIN AND AGAIN pag gising namen ng mga 4am ang dameng stars!!(yehey) maganda ang panahon.. so kahit kakagising lang gora kagad sa summit para maabutan ang sunrise.
well guess what.. after all the disaster and muntik muntik ko ng pag uwe after ng Mt. Tibayoc nag hello saken ang napaka gandang sunrise..may additional pa na sea of clouds
na stuck up ako saglet sa ganda ng scenery na nakikita ko sa tuktok ng Mt. Pulag. damn ito pala yung sea of clouds with matching sunrise..parang napaka romantic kahit hindi naman.. parang dramatic pero hindi nakaka iyak..kase nakakatuwa. nakakatuwa dahil nag pa BI ako sa isa kong kasama na wag muna umuwe. parang ang sarap tumambay ng matagal sa tuktok (magkakape at mag yoyosi sa summit) at ang sarap pahintuin yung araw na tumirik dahil ang ganda ng pag labas nya sa mga ulap. parang ang galing kase kahit maghapon at magdamag umulan..nung time na nasa tuktok na kame pinag bigyan kame na makita yun..parang ang sarap maging stuck up muna sa moment na yun at wag muna bumaba. naisip ko pa ilang araw namen inintay tong scenery na to tapos after ilang minutes babaan na kagad..?hindi ba pwedeng mag stay dun ng kahit kalahating araw man lang?(hahaha..hindi daw pwede kase masusunog kame sa init ng araw)
actually I dont care if 3 sa pinaka mataas na bundok yung inakyat namen. i just felt contented at that split moment. atleast once in my life I felt that I can be contented with something I conquered with or without hesitations.
I can compare Mt. Tibayoc trail sa Mt. Christobal trail..madame dame din yung assault na nangyare during the trek. and inabot pa kame ng gabe sa trail but its ok..buti nalang natrain na ako sa Mt.Cristobal nung nag night trek kame so medyo di na nakakatakot tumapak sa daan. but the difference is madulas ng sobra yung trail because of the rain. I dont know kung maulan talaga o sadyang dun lang sa place na yun yung ulan. kase before kame umakyat the weather was good. but thank God kahit medyo maulan yung pag akyat namen nakarating kame ng safe sa summit. though wala kameng nakitang view kase nga gabe ang hindi ganun kalawak yung summit. pero sobrang lameg sa summit with matching buhos pa ng hangin na may kasamang ambon ambon.(ang sarap ng tama sa skin namen) we stayed sa summit just to take some pictures then baba na kame agad kase its getting late na and we need to meet out IT schedule na makapunta kagad sa Tawangan trail ng Mt.Pulag.
