Chapter 5 – All tangled up.

I hate this feeling. It’s starting to eat me whole...
It’s 1 in the afternoon and I don’t feel like sleeping.
And the usual at this point of time my brother plays songs to help him sleep.

"Hindi malaman kung ano ang gagawin,
Sa damdamin na di ko ma amin sa sarili,
Kung bakit ka pa ba nanjan”

Hahaix, ano ba yang katang pinapatug-tug ng utol ko. Lalo ako kinakabahan sa mangyayari mamaya. Sana maganda kinalalabasan lalo na sa basketball team na hindi ko sisiputin.

"Sabi-sabi ng mga kaibigan ko
Huwag mong pilitin ang 'di para sa 'yo
Ngunit bakit hindi kita malimutan
Sa 'yo ba'y OK lang"

Well, mas importante naman tong ke Kaye. Bahala na! Once in a life time opportunity lang to. Yung basketball dami naman sila. At kung tunay ko silang kaibigan ma iintindihan nila ako bilang isang lalake.

"Habang tumatagal, lumalala, laging nagwawala
Tumitindi, umiinit, sumasakit ang dibdib
Kaya ako'y gumawa ng awiting ito na alay ko sa 'yo
At sana'y pakinggan mo"

Pero, bakit kaya biglang mag tetext si Kaye ng ganun. Di naman ako lagi pinag bibigyan nun pag inaaya ko cya makipag date. Eh kahit anong tulak ko sa sarili ko feeling ko ayaw nya sa akin...

"Huwag ka sanang magugulat sa akin
'Di ako sanay sa ganitong suliranin
Huwag kang matakot hindi ako manloloko
Kung OK lang sa 'yo”

Sabi pa ni Arthur na tigilan ko na cya. Wala daw ako ma papala...

"Ngayong alam mo na, sana'y 'di ka mainis
At pasensya na kung ako ay makulit
Pero kung gusto mo, ako na lang ang lalayo
Kung OK lang sa 'yo"

Meron nga ako na kita. Yung babaeng naka Orange. Sino kaya yun? Bakit kung kelan ako na tamaan ng husto eto yung nakaraan ko nakikialam

“Habang tumatagal, lumalala, laging nagwawala
Tumitindi, umiinit, sumasakit ang dibdib
Kaya ako'y gumawa ng awiting ito na alay ko sa 'yo
At sana'y pakinggan mo”

Pero parehong Malabo yung babaeng naka orange saka si Kaye. Pero, prang me nag sasabi sakin wag muna isipin yung babaeng naka orange...

"Huwag ka sanang magugulat sa akin
'Di ako sanay sa ganitong suliranin
Huwag kang matakot hindi ako manloloko
Kung OK lang sa 'yo"

Potek bat ko ba cya iniisip eh mamaya na kami mag kikita ni Kaye. Hirap talga lalo na meron pa kami semi finals game mamaya sa basketball.

And at that moment it seems I hear someone calling my name...

Andy... Andy... Andy...

Ano ba to! kung ano ano na na ririnig ko.

ANDREW!!!

Weh! Si mama pala!...

“Ano po yun ma?”
Mama: Telephone! Si Kaye.
“Ok, salamat.”

Hmmmm. Bat kaya ako tinatawagan eh 1:30 pa ng hapon eh.

“Hello, kaye?”
Kaye: Hi Andz. Busy ka?
“Aw, hinde naman nag aantay lang na mag 4 na ng hapon”
Kaye: Ay ganun? Wag ka mashadong excited sa 4 ng hapon na yan. Hehehe.”
“Bakit naman hinde? Eh mag kikita kaya tayo ng oras na yan ”
Kaye: Ay uu nga. Kaya pala ako tumawag para sabihan baka maaga tayo pwede mag kita”

Phew! MAAGA daw.... yes makaka pag basketball pa ako. Sana 2:00 or 2:30 ng hapon para maka alis na ako dito.

“Aw maaga ba Kaye? Anong oras?”
Kaye: maaga lang ng konti. Mga 3:30 OK lang sayo?

Ay, medjo delikado yung 3:30 pero bahala na.

“Sobrang OK lang Kaye kahit 2:00 pa nga ng hapon pede na ako eh”
Kaye: Hehehe. Di pwede. Mag ggrocery pa kami diba?
“Ay, uu nga pala. Cge cge.”
Kaye: OK, so text text nalang. See you mamaya.
“OK Kaye. Bye.”

Maaga na oras pero kulang yung allowance. Di na yata ako makakapag basketball. Ma text nga si Mark para malaman na nila na wala ako.

What the... 12 unread messages. Ano kaya laman ng mga ito? Sino kaya nag send?

LAGOT! Puro galing ke Mark.

“Bro we need you later meron na injured sa team. Need mo talga mag double time kasi walang papalit sa pwesto mo”

“Bro. Sure mamaya hapon ha”

“Bro ano na? Ready kana?

“Oist reply ka naman. Parang d ka interesado mag laro”

“ANDY! Ano ba? Mahirap pag me kulang. Me na injured na nga d ka pa nag tetext jan”

“Wag mo sana isipin sarili mo pre! Dami tayo sa team inde ka lang nag iisa. Kung wala ang isa wala tayo lahat.”

EWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!
Bat ba lahat kelangan mangyari sa iisang oras.
Di ba pede Bukas nalang yung basketball game?
Hinde ba pwde n asana saka nalang na injured si Arthur after sa game?
Bakit ba yung mag susubstitute pa sakin yung na injured?

BAAAAAAAAAAAKIT!!!!

*sigh*

Bahala na.
“Ok Mark. Pupunta ako mamaya. Mananalo tayo. Wag ka mag alala dadating ako.”

And after 10 seconds I received Mark’s reply.

“Tnx bro. Maasahan ka talga namin. Sori kanina. Nag aalala lang talga ako kaya mainit ulo ko.”
AFTER A FEW HOURS.

3:15 na. Andito na ako sa Mall. Sabi ni Kaye pa punta na daw cya...

Kaye: Andy!!!
“Uy, Kaye! Hello. Kumusta?”
Kaye: OK lang. Hehehe. Tara sa Dunkin, dun tayo mag usap.
“Cge”

While Me and Kaye were heading to Dunkin I can feel my Phone vibrate non-stop. I can feel it, It’s Mark and the team looking for me already. It’s already 3:20 and I still need 20 min to travel going to the tournament.

Kaye: Hoy Andy! Kanina pa kita kinakausap. Bat tulala ka?
“Aw, wala Kaye. Kinakabahan lang ako sa sasabihin mo...”
Kaye: Ay!? Para sa sasabihin ko lang? Wag ka kakabahan.
“Eh sino ba hinde ma kakabahan. Ikaw yung me sasabihin sakin”
Kaye: Wag ka mag alala Andy. Para sa atin dalawa naman tong sasabihin ko

What the heck?!?! For the good of both of us? What could it be? Im starting to get speechless.

Kaye: Ano ba yang bibit mong malaking bag? Parang daming laman ah.
“Ah. Eto? Wala. Galing kasi ako basketball practise”
Kaye: Ah, eh di nasa condisyon ka?
“medjo”

What have I said? She hasn’t even started to say what she wants to tell me I’m already lying to her.

“Upo a tayo Kaye. Salamat nga pala sa Doughnut”
Kaye: Wala yun noh, Oh ano? Pede ko na sabihin?

Eto na! Potek di ako maka hinga!

Kaye: Andy. Matagal na tau mag ka kilala diba? At matagal na magka kilala family natin.
“uu naman. Kaya nga eh gusto kitang makausap”
Kaye: Tungkol to sa feelings ko sau.

ETO NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Kaye: Andy... Ma.... Hal.... laga ka sakin.
“Ikaw din mahalaga ka sakin”

Potek kala ko MAHAL KITA. I’m looking at my watch and its 3:35 already and my cell phone has 32 unread messages. Patay!

Kaye: Andy. Mahal din kita bilang kapatid

And at that moment I didn’t know what to say. I tried to fake a smile but it’s no good. I don’t know if I made the right choice to talk to her or I should have gone to the basketball game.

“Kaye, d ko na alam ano sasabihin ko. Parang pinapunta mo lang ako para ma saktan ako”
Kaye: Inde naman sa ganun. Kayak o sinabi para hinde kana ma hirapan.
“Hinde ma hihirapan? Eh mas lalo ako na hihirapan now eh.”
Kaye: Me naka pag sabi kasi sa akin na friend mo na dapat ko sabihin sayo yung totoo.
“Totoo na ano?”
Kaye: Na mahala ka sakin. Napamahal kana sakin parang kapatid.
“....”
Kaye: na ayaw ko masira yung friendship at samahan natin.

Why is it that I’m feeling like this is the worst day of my life.

“Ok. Kaye. Na iintindihan kita.”
Kaye: Alam ko masakit. Pero believe me im trying to help you.
“Salamat sa tulong mo.
Kaye: Dami pa sana sasabihin ko pero need ko na umalis. Sana mainitindihan mo ako Andz
“Ok Kaye. Sana nga ma intindihan ko. Salamat sa time”
Kaye: Salamat din Andz. Friends forever ha!
“Ok...”

And as she is walking further away from me I feel the uncertainties slip away. I don’t know what she really meant but I have to respect her side. I hope that what she said about for the good of both of us is true.

And at that moment, I can hear my phone vibrate. And in an instant I looked at my watch and ran off.

I hope I can make it in time sa basketball tournament.

ANDY!!!!!!!!!!!

AKALA KO DI KANA DADATING! 2nd Quarter na! Tambak tau ng 12 points!

“Sorry coach. Meron lang talaga importanteng ginawa na d pede palampasin”
Coach: mamaya kana mag paliwanag! Mag bihis kana at papasok na kita.

At that moment I thought I wasn’t important but. The way Mark looked at me even if he is so pissed off because of me being late I can see that he is relieved that I’m here, that I am a person very important to the team. And as I stepped inside the court I can feel that I belong to something very important. I don’t know about Kaye. Bat ba pumapasok cya sa utak ko.

Earlier I felt so low,
so down,
so sad and frustrated.

But, every time they pass me the ball and make a play I feel that they are very happy that I am one of them. While we are playing longer the stronger we get.

PRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!! TIME OUT!!!

4th Quarter na pala...

ETO NA!!! Last 5 Seconds!
“Mark kaw na titira ng wining shot”
Mark: Ikaw na pagod na ako!
“Basta ikaw na”
Coach: Kayo na bahala team. Gawin nyo lang makakaya nyo! 1 point lang lamang nila oh!

GAME!!!!

Last 5 seconds
I tried to shake off my defender as the ball was being passed to Ethan.

Last 4 seconds
Ethan passed the ball to me. And I was successful in taking off my defender.

Last 3 seconds
I went closer to the hoop for a layup

Last 2 Seconds
3 defenders tried to stop me.

Last 1 second
I can’t get through the defenders and I dropped the ball

I dropped it towards Mark.

Mark took the shot... and before we knew it.


PASOK TAYO SA FINALS!!! Yun na narinig ko! Si coach, sila Ethan panay sigaw, and buong team parang nasisiraan na nag bait at si Mark inde na naka tayo sa kanyang pwesto sa sobrang saya!

Ganun pa man pilit ko pinapasaya sarili ko kahit sa lahat na nangyari sakin sa araw na to. Sigaw ako ng sigaw at sabay tumatalon.

Then...

In the middle of all the noise and cheering,
The shouting and the laughing I heard someone in a cute voice

Shouting:

“Nice pass Andy! Galing talaga!”

Who could that be? And Mark started to whisper something to my ears before I could turn around and see who that cute voice was.

Mark: may surpresa ako sayo bro. Alam ko. Kaya ko cya inimbita.

Astigmatism is killing me right now.

Since last night i had a headache due to astigmatism and up until now I'm still feeling the headaches. Its really bugging me and i can't work productively when i have headaches. It's a pain when i try to talk in front of my class then the painful bumps and pinches in my head and eyes always gets in the way which really distracts me a lot and i tend to lose my concentration on the lesson I'm trying to discuss.

What is astigmatism and what causes it?

Astigmatism is a common eye condition that's easily corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses or surgery.

Astigmatism is characterized by an irregular curvature of the cornea. This type of disorder is also known as a refractive error. Astigmatism occurs in nearly everybody to some degree. For significant curvature, treatment is required.

A person's eye is naturally spherical in shape. Under normal circumstances, when light enters the eye, it refracts evenly, creating a clear view of the object. However, the eye of a person with astigmatism is shaped more like a football or the back of a spoon. For this person, when light enters the eye it is refracted more in one direction than the other, allowing only part of the object to be in focus at one time. Objects at any distance can appear blurry and wavy.

What Causes Astigmatism?
astigmatism

Astigmatism can be hereditary and is often present at birth. It can also result from pressure from the eyelids on the cornea, incorrect posture or an increased use of the eyes for close work.

What Are the Symptoms of Astigmatism?

People with undetected astigmatism often experience headaches, fatigue, eyestrain and blurred vision at all distances. While these symptoms may not necessarily be the result of astigmatism, you should schedule an eye exam if you are experiencing one or more symptoms.

How Are Astigmatisms Diagnosed?

Your optometrist or ophthalmologist can diagnose astigmatism by a thorough eye exam. Astigmatism may occur with other refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness). Unfortunately, astigmatism often goes undetected in school-age children.

Because astigmatisms may increase slowly, you should visit your optometrist or ophthalmologist for an eye exam once each year. Optometrists are trained specifically to determine and improve visual acuity with the prescription of eyeglasses or contact lenses. Ophthalmologists can provide total eye care, from examinations and vision correction to the diagnosis and treatment of disease through medication and surgery. - www.medicinenet.com

Therefore... i got my astigmatism from my mom? or is it because of the reason that i face the computer most of the time which builds up eye pressure? Should i get glasses or not? At the moment i wont resort to glasses. I can still manage. i just hope this headache will just go away.

5 days on duty

Its been 5 days since i first reported for work. Im still alive!!! hahaha. just kidding. It has been quite slow and a bit boring for me just working on the syllabus. Yes its done but im more hyped on this coming monday since they heard my request to reformat the computers here. Finally things are getting cleaned here. Im planning on putting up XP or Maybe W7 for the operating system. And ill be installing the hardcore anti virus programs i have and the classroom monitoring system. Things are now starting to get better here.

Well its nice to know im doing fine and its a miracle that ive been sleeping early lately and i mean 9 or 10 pm early. Well ill get the hang of things. ^_^

Everything is going according to plan... yipeee!!!

Yesterday my GF cacai finally was accepted in her teaching application job and was given 2 advisory class and two clubs. I guess that would be enough to keep her busy since i myself will also be busy with my teaching job.

Yesterday was a sign that both me and my girlfriend's plans are starting to put into place. Hopefully we will be able to reach our goals soon.

My 1st two days on my teaching job.

It has been two days already since i reported yesterday for my job as a teacher. I have just been staying in the lab for the entire day designing the Syllabus for my computer subjects. It was tiring but i found it challenging and fun. Problems so far with the Computer lab is that it's not as clean as what a computer lab should be and tons and i mean ton of viruses are on all of the computers. Its like 5 years of viruses stocked up in each of the computers. even the current anti virus programs i have right now is not enough to clean the entire computers in the lab.

Suggestions on these problems would be:
1. Plastic moldings for LAN cables so that the lab will look more professional and clean
2. It would be better if will start rearranging the lab and take out the unnecessary stuff here
3. Post more educational pictures and posters in the laboratory
4. FORMAT!!! all the computers here to completely remove all the viruses and install virus protection programs.
5. I need a program that will enable me to control and view the workstations here.
6. i also need a program that would restrict sites that are not allowed in out school laboratory.

Well those are the solutions i think would be better for the improvement of the lab. I will try to forward this to the higher authorities and hope some or even better all of my solutions will be taken into action or consideration.

Iron man 2 the movie (review)

Rated: PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence, and some language.
Runtime: 2 hrs 4 mins
Genre: Action/Adventure

Starring: Robert Downey, Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Garry Shandling, Samuel L. Jackson, Leslie Bibb
Director: Jon Favreau
Screenwriter: Justin Theroux
Director: Jon Favreau
Studio: Paramount Pictures

This sequel to the Blockbuster hit movie last 2008 has finally arrived. I have always been a fan of Iron man ever since i saw him in the world of Marvel Comics. I just finished watching Iron Man 2 a while ago and it was a fun and exciting movie to watch. Though the 1st Iron Man movie focused on its roots and the story behind the Iron Man(which is better), this time it was more one what Tony Starks could do to improve what he thought was complete. This movie also featured the 2nd Iron Man namely War Machine which added to the excitement factor of the movie with all the moves and awesome CG scenes.


As expected Robert Downey was still able to make me laugh with his lines, attitude and charisma towards everybody. This movie also teaches us how to trust on our best friends, that friends do fight but in the end their friendship is more important. The movie really doesn't focus much on the story of the Iron Man but instead on parts of Robert Downeys character which makes the story fall into different bits of pieces. I would like to see more of the Iron Man its self not more on Tony Starks. More on Iron man fight scenes and more Iron Man Weapons and moves.

Overall its still a great movie to watch with the entire family and i still believe you will get your moneys worth for watching it in the big screen. ^_^
