" Remembering You, While i look at the skies "

I remember that day so clearly
I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye
When I call for you do you hear me?
I still don’t understand why

Now my life won’t be the same
I want to awake from this nightmare
Still looking for someone to blame
I want to see you again standing there

I just wish I could see you once more
Memories of you in my heart I shall keep
You are the granddad I still adore
As I wipe away the tears that I weep

Now you are all the way up there
And I know nothing will bring you back
This pain is too hard to bear
In my life a granddad is now what I lack

I just really wish you could be here
Why did you have to go?
Deep inside my heart I know that you’re near
I miss you so

Why Humans Hate Vegetables!

I've seen a lot of pinoys in fastfood restaurants who refuse to eat veggies,they'll remove lettuce leaves from burgers and capers from pizzas.
ANd friends find me wierd eating fresh salads,ano ba yan parang kabayo ka ang hilig mo sa damo,are some of the remarks that I usually recieved from them.
But veggies are such a rich source of antioxidants and fiber that eliminating them from the diet is a recipe for bad health.
Most pinoys love to indulged in saturated fat dishes like pork and beef,and this compounds the problem.Diet has a great impact on health.
Kadalasan kasi mapait ang veggies sa panlasa ng majority a better alternative is to mix them in stew or soup, or stir fry them.
I really can't understand those people in fast foods who remove veggies from their sandwhiches is it ignorance or kaartehan lang. I would like to add that Vegetables are really good food, its how people prepare them... they can be really delicious without sacrificing the nutrients... It also starts in the family... kids taught to eat vegetables while small will always crave for vegetables until they grow up... marami narin kasing fast food chains, na wala din namang masyadong nutrition... the youth today yun na ang kinakain palagi... buti pa ang Goat.. haha

pero for me I love veggies!

Back then I used to hate ampalaya, but when I started dieting, I eat as much ampalaya as I can!

Also Salads... Way back for me Salad sucks.. nowadays salad rocks! salad na may dressing, pero sometimes yoko ng may dressing thats why my friends find me weird.. ( dam dont care)

typical diet of the new generation is

hotdog,ham,tocino,longganisa,chippy,cornedbeef,softdrinks,instant pancit canton,instant mami,burgers,flavored fruit juices,
seafood? myrun naman-calamares and fish balls
veggies-meron pa rin-Snaku vegetable snacks


sige analyze natin ang nutritional content nyan..

whats happening in this generation.. laugh out loud!

Eating Foods!! Eat in the right Place!

(Picture taken by: Rana Velasco 'Photographer')

Yo Guys!!!,heres my list of healthy restaurants/fastfood options i discovered. it might help You guys find better places to go to when eating out.

if you're stuck in the food court of SM Southmall in Las Pinas:

- Tuna Hut, serving grilled tuna belly, tuna burgers, nuggets, and other tuna based snacks. I always go for the tuna belly here when I have to dine in the fastfood area.

- Of course there's Bodhi if you avoid meat.

- For dessert, there's a coconut place, selling fresh fruit salad in coconut.

Pero for syempre.. think about your budget.. the smaller the better, mahirap na pagtumaba ka.
any food will do eat whatever you want when eating out wag lang lagi. kase eventually you'll give in rin hehehe so better eat whatever you want life is too short to restrict yourself into diets., everything should be just in moderation..

Post ko dito yung mga foods/food shop na maeencounter ko along the way in Metro Manila Area and in any area!

The Romantics! 1980's New Wave Music Mania!

	What follows is the story of a bunch of hard working street kids from the East side of Detroit who became one of the most influential and memorable bands emanating from one of music's most important periods.... Formed on Valentine's Day, 1977, Wally Palmar, Jimmy Marinos, Mike Skill and Rich Cole --- were tough kids escaping hard work, probably in machine shops or factories, but they weren't punks. They were a response to the nihilism of the U.K. punks. And The Romantics were simple; the best of their music was a joyful affirmation, epitomized by the chanted "Hey!...uh-huh!" intro to the remarkable "That's What I Like About You," a song that still exists precisely in the moment, without before or after. While it is true that they took much of their simple thunder from the British Invasion, the band's primary influence was the high energy excitement of the late 60s Detroit scene. The MC5, the Stooges, Bob Seger and The Last Heard, The Detroit Wheels, The Rationals, SRC, The Underdogs, The Up. . . The Romantics took the essence of this scene -- sincerity, irony, spontaneity, volume -- and translated it to suit their own modern experience. Their image was innate; they naturally favored short hair and shorter songs and happened on the infamous red leather suits by chance. After releasing a single, consisting of the first two songs they had written - ''Little White Lies" and "I Can't Tell You Anything" -- The Romantics traveled east to build a club audience. Bomp Records' Greg Shaw sees them in Toronto and funds an EP. The EP includes "Tell It To Carrie," something of a stylistic matrix for The Romantics' music to come. The late 70s U.K. punk movement is diluted and misunderstood in America, and The Romantics are, like it or not, labeled "New Wave, " a term for the more palatable selling of punk. The Romantics consider themselves well removed from the Sex Pistols' negativity. They don't want rock to go away; they want, as Skill tells a reporter in 1979: "to still have fun with three chords. After signing with Nemperor Records in 1979, The Romantics released their debut LP, recorded in three weeks. Anchored by "That's What I Like About You," "When I Look In Your Eyes" and a cover of Ray Davies' "She's Got Everything," The album is an exemplary pop-rock period piece. The Romantics evoke a youthful portrait, haunting in its innocence, a direct contrast to the tough world they know in Detroit. A follow-up, National Breakout, was released in 1980, followed by tours of Europe and Australia. More influences -- surf music, Motown -- were evidenced, yet the sound was increasingly unique. "Tomboy," "21 and Over" and "Stone Pony" lived up to the post-punk battle cry of "Two minutes or bust." The Bomp material was included on a compilation titled Midwest Pop Explosion (Quark 1980), but by the time of 1981's Strictly Personal, lead guitarist Skill departs and is replaced by guitarist Coz Canler, only to return one album later, replacing Rich Cole. The band reaches its commercial peak in 1983-1984 with In Heat, a platinum album bearing two top ten singles: "Talking In Your Sleep" and "One In A Million." This should have been the big payoff, but drummer Marinos departs instead as "success" creates division and confrontation between management and the band. The Romantics, with Dave Petratos on drums, released Rhythm Romance in 1985. Other than the 1990 greatest hits compilation, "What I Like About You" (and Other Romantic Hits), Rhythm Romance is the last record The Romantics cut for Epic/Nemperor. In 1987, The Romantics endure an inordinate amount of adversity. The acrimonious fall-out and lawsuit with their former managers slowed royalty payments and prevented the band from focusing on recording and touring. In late 1990, the Romantics added current Blondie drummer Clem Burke to the lineup, and in 1994 they released a 5 song EP titled Made In Detroit for Westbound Records, containing fellow Detroiter George Clintons' Funkadelic songs along with three originals. Later that year, The Romantics received an award for Outstanding Pop/Rock Recording Artists from the Motor City Music Awards. In 1992, when Clem had other obligations, The Romantics enlisted legendary Detroit Wheels drummer Johnny "Bee" Badanjek to perform with them at Rob Tyner's (MC5) Memorial Service. 1995 saw The Romantics settle their 7 year old lawsuit against their former management and regained control of their publishing rights and music catalog. In 1996 Jimmy Marinos, the original drummer, rejoined the Romantics to tour and work on recording projects until leaving the group in 1997. The Romantics were presented with the Distinguished Achievement Award at the Detroit Music Awards in 1999. The next several years were spent recording and finishing songs for their next album, "61/49". Released in the fall of 2003 and named for the storied crossroads near Clarksdale, Mississippi where bluesman Robert Johnson made his pact with the devil, "61/49" is intended as a tip of the hat to the roots of rock 'n' roll and the nucleus of The Romantics' fervent pop. The album features members Wally Palmar, Mike Skill, Coz Canler and drummer Clem Burke (a founding member of Blondie). They were joined by their original drummer, Jimmy Marinos, as well as drummer Johnny "Bee" Badanjek with a supporting cast that included keyboardists Eddie Hawrysch (Black Crowes) and Luis Resto, among others. In 2004, due to touring commitments with Blondie, Clem Burke recommended the addition of Brad Elvis. Regaled by both critics and fellow drummers for his precision beat-keeping and showmanship, Elvis is best known as a member of the Elvis Brothers and Big Hello. Currently, Palmar, Skill, Canler, and Elvis are touring and writing songs for a follow-up to "61/49". (taken from www.romanticsdetroit.com)

Career Talk + Money Talk

what if nakita nyo na yung career path na gusto nyo dito sa pinas, Are you happy with your career?? pero hindi sapat yung kinikita mo, and then all of a sudden may offer sa'yo mag-migrate sa ibang bansa, yung work eh related sa pinag-aralan pero hindi yon ang gusto mong career..

Anong gagawin mo? what will you choose?

Some questions you should ask yourself:

1. If i stick to what I am doing now, would it benefit me in the future?
2. The opportunity that lies ahead, even if its not what I really like, can I learn to love it?
3. Which would offer me better balance and compensation?
4. What matters more to me: earning a lot but its not exactly what I like doing or doing what I like, as long as the pay gets me by


If you choose money, for how long will you be able to stand the job?
If you choose career, will I still be happy if you'll end up financially challenged?

Hirap pumili noh.. pero for me.. ill pick CAREER bcoz When you excel in what you do, the big bucks follow....You may opt for the money now, but you'll end up miserable if you ain't passionate with your job.

At the end of the day, money shouldn't be the driving factor in choosing jobs. I'd rather do something that I want to do. It might earn me a little but in the long run, I can use that experience to further improve my craft and make a living out of that

Most Filipinos want to become instantly rich without considering what are their real plans for their lives.

Character of the month of OCTOBER ( SON GOHAN)

Name: Son Gohan

Other names: Gohan , Great Saiyaman, Golden Warrior

Birth: Planet Earth / East District

Nationality:" Hybrid Saiyan/Earthling

Transformations: Ozaru Giant Monkey , Super Saiyan 1, Super Saiyan 2, Ultimate Gohan

Origin:

Gohan was named after Goku's adoptive grandfather, Grandpa Gohan The name, which comes from the Japanese word "gohan" (, lit. "cooked rice" or "meal of any sort"), is a continuation of the naming scheme of foods by Toriyama. Rice, being a grain, is not normally considered to be a vegetable, even though it is part of a plant. However, as the word "vegetable" is a culinary term, and not a botanical term, the name can also continue the naming scheme for Saiyan characters, which derives names from puns on vegetables (Saiya being an anagram of the word yasai, meaning "vegetable"). Piccollo trained gohan and in the series becomes his best friend.

Gohan started his training with Piccolo at the age of 4, and fought some deadly battles at 5... At the age of 11, about the same age as Gokuu when he was first introduced, he bore the heavy responsibility of protecting the earth against Cell (while Gokuu was roaming around without a care in the world at that age). Luckily, with the return of his father, Gohan can go back to living a relatively normal life, and since he doesn't really enjoy fighting, perhaps it was as much his own will, as it was his mother's, for him to become a great scholar, which he was able to achieve.

Memorable Quotes of Gohan:

Gohan: Piccolo, can I have some help here?
Piccolo: Sure just one thing. There will be no help!

Gohan: Piccolo! You big jerk! I take back all the nice things I said about you!

---

Gohan: I'll do it slowly, so you can watch me better.

---

Gohan: Well sometimes Piccolo... uh... a little on the paranoid side.
Videl: I guess you were right. He does seem a little bit high strung.

Majin Buu: [Super Buu] So, hotshot, you want to fight Majin Buu?
Gohan: [smirking] Fight you? No. I want to kill you.

---

Gohan: [gets into a fighting stance] Now I'll show you why my little brother looks up to me.
Majin Buu: [gets into his own stance, having absorbed Piccolo and Gotenks earlier] He doesn't. In fact, he wonders why you let me absorb him.

Videl: You know those people?
Gohan: Yeah. That man, wearing the orange uniform, he's my dad.
Videl: WHAT? I thought your dad was with another woman.
Gohan: Oh no! Just dead. Didn't you see that ring floating over his head?
Videl: I think I need to lie down.
