My Latest Life

February 16, 2011, San Juan City, Metro Manila Philippines, 6:55pm

I'm creating this blog to start sharing you my Latest Life. Haha! As of now, i'm facing outside our window just to have some wifi connection using macbook pro. Hahaha! Beside me, is my boss Prince who's on his desktop and creating some website and he's making some funny noises when he done something wrong on his work. Hahaha! Early this morning, we woke up at 11am and as i getup from bed, first i washed up and started to cook for some lunch because the kids is soon to be home. Actually, di naman talaga ako naglutom, nag init lang ng ulam. Hahaha! But in fairness, nakaubos ng food ang baby namin, kasi sinubuan ko. Haha! While having our lunch, the doorbell rang and i knew that it was our baby kuya. As i opne the door our baby kuya is saw me and he met me with his smile and as he approached, i received a warm hug from him. Haaaayyyy... Feeling ko matanda na ako. Haha! After lunch, the two babies play and play and play the whole day. I decided to wash the dishes and took a bath while the boys are busy. As i finished my work, i now sat down on my place and surf the internet again and again and again. In fairness, nakakagutom din mag internet, so the boys ask their mom if we can buy something to eat and their gave us 100 pesos to buy meryenda and of course, we eat while they're watching tv and while i'm in front of the computer. As time goes by, di na namin namalayan na gabi na pala so i stopped on what i'm doing and start to clean the mess of the two babies, wash the dishes and cook rice for dinner. And now, we haven't eaten dinner yet. Haha! Wala pa kasi ulam at wala pa kaming balak tumayo sa aming kinauupuan. In short, tamad pa kami gumalaw. Hehe.

Last night, my brother asked me if i can go home daw kasi Silver Wedding anniversary ng parents namin. Sad to say, di ako makakauwi. He also said na kahit walang handa as long as sama sama kami mas masaya. Today, as i woke up, super sad ako. Kasi nga di ako nakauwi. Nagtatampo na nga mama ko sa akin eh. Nagkataon naman na walang wala din ako. Lord please help me. While composing this blog, i'm listening to Mariah's song Butterfly. I want to cry kaya lang baka sabihin ng mga makakakita sa akin ang drama drama ko. Waaaaaahhhhh! I want to go home talaga kahit fare lang na balikan ok na sa akin but where can i find 500 pesos sa isang kindat lang ng mata?  Ang hirap din kasi sa akin, masyado din kasi akong magastos pag nagkakapera. Puros kaprichuhan ko inuuna ko. Haaaaayyyy!!!!! Nakakawalang gana pala. Parang lahat ayaw ko. Ayaw, kong kumain, ayaw kong mag gala, ayaw kong gumalaw, lahat... Hope everything will be ok later. Haaaaayyyyy!!!! Sana... Sana di na magtext bro ko para di ako lalong malungkot. Hehe!

Mamaya ulit. CIAO! Abangan....

Matagal tagal din ba ako ulit nakapag blog. Ang buhay nga naman. Nakauwi ako sa amin ng twice. It's been fun but there's sometimes na talagang may mangyayaring di mo inaasahan at di mo magugustuhan. Anyway. don't want to talk about it. Hehe! Last time nagyaya ang mga elementary classmates ko na magkaroon ng meeting for our 1st reunion "kuno". Haha! Bago ang date ng meeting, i was here in manila at nagpapagaling. I woke up at 3am at di na nakaabalik sa higaan. Kating kati akong umuwi buti nalang pinayagan ako ni bossing. Hehehe! Biyahe ako ng mga 4am nakarating ako 8am. Diretso muna ako sa munting tindahan ng aming inang reyna na si Imelda. Haha! Edi siyempre, nag almusal ako ng bonggang bongga. Sarap kaya magluto ng ina ko. After breakfast i go to my tambayan, Pto. Rivas. Dito sa place na to nakatira mga cousins at iba ko pang mga kamag anak. Sobrang saya kasi iisang compound lang sila doon. Gutom inaabot ko dun pero busog naman ako sa libangan. Hahaha! Basta sama sama lang kami at kwentuhan at tawanang walang humpay, kumpleto na araw ko. time na for our meeting, naku, lampas na ako sa oras ng usapan. Dumating ako sa nasabing dalawang venue, pero wala sila. Akala ko tapos na. Uwi na sana ako nang makita ko 2 classmates ko na nakatambay at sila di'y naghihintay. Edi naki tambay na din ako. Mga ilang minuto lang nagyaya na ako na puntahan at sunduin ang iba. Una naming pinuntahan ang bahay ng isa naming classmate na ubod ng kulit. Haha! Hirap lumakad nung time na yun pga wala kang sasakyan buti nalang napadaan cousin ko at inarkila ko ang motor na pinapasada nya. Sundo dito, sundo doon, yan ang ginawa namin ng magkaroon kami ng service. Di naman kami nakumpleto dahil yung ba wala, yung iba, busy. Edi sinimulan namin ang meeting kahit wala sila. Natapos naman kahit papaano. After the meeting, TOMA! Hahaha! Nalasing ako ng husto. Ang saya nung gabing yun. Kaya nga di ako nakabalik ng manila at napagalitan pa ako ng boss. Hahaha! Kulitan sa daan ang nangyari. Haha! Napag usapan din na dapat kahit once a week magkakaroon kami ng bonding moment. Saya sana nun kaya lang, ang layo ko naman. Siguro, every two weeks nalang ako makaka attend. Now, i'm back in manila. Haaaayyyy... Boring kaya lang sayang pag may mga opportunities kahit maliit, i'll grab it talaga. Sayang ang kita. Hehehe!

Til next time...

The Journey: Taekwondo Life

It's me again, Brian Joseph Dizon. BJ for short. I'd like to tell you guys how i love this sports called Taekwondo. When did i start? How was the first time? Is it really  can protect you? Self-defense nga ba talaga o kailangan lang sa yabang? So many questions before I enter this martial arts thing. At first, of course, another scary moment... Number one, di naman ako mahilig sa away. Taekwondo is full contact sports so i'd rather be prepared for some action. When i saw them training as in some of them are crying in pain. Their trainer is forcing them to split for them to be able to kick higher. I was scared with that. But then i really love martial arts. Kung fu is one of my favorites. Nakakatuwa nga eh, i remembered before, everytime makakapanood ako ng movie na kung fu. I'm always  amazed. The flying kicks, walking on air, jumping so high, walking on the water. Incredible! I also dreamed of becoming a ninja. Hahaha! This is how my Taekwondo story started. It all sparked from a child's little dream...

I was already in 2nd year high school when i entered the world of Taekwondo. Actually, napariwara ako nun. Medyo nag lay low ako sa swimming. I smoked, was drunkard and even cut classes. Grabe talaga! But when my cousin encouraged me to join their team, at first, i refused because for me mas masarap kayang uminom at mag gala kesa sa magtraining. Then few weeks passed, lagi ko nakikita cousin ko na sipa ng sipa and he was enjoying it. And i saw some of his moves na talagang napa nganga ako and craved for some more. That is the time na nakisali sali ako sa ginagawa nya and he never had second thoughts to teach me some basic kicks. He also made a customized kicking bag made of an old sack of rice with sand for us to do self training. I really appreciated what he did. It was school days again, i' was thinking of what to do after class, and then suddenly Taekwondo just popped out of my head and i remembered that my cousin had their trainings everyday after class so i ran going to their gym and watched them train. I really enjoyed watching them. Di pa ako sumali nun kasi nahihiya ako. Hahaha!

From that moment, I watched them again and again. I also watched them compete on their first competition. I was shocked when i saw how my cousin suffered from his bleeding groin. It came to a point na parang ayaw ko na sumali. Haha! But my cousin never let me lose hope he always encouraged me to join and also told me that it is fun to be with his team mates. In fairness nadala ako sa mga pinagsasasabi ng cousin ko kaya hayun, napasabak din ako sa first training. I was surprised that i can kick na pala the proper way because my cousin taught me the basics. I even had a sparring on my first day. Nakakatakot pero i did it. The first training was fun and i really enjoyed it but when we got home, i was dead tired and never had a chance to eat dinner and my whole body was aching. The next morning, i can't even get up from the bed to prepare for school because of body pain. Na late na nga ako sa school eh. A week passed, nagtuluy-tuloy ang training ko sa Taekwondo and then parang hinahanap hanap na ng katawan ko ang sakit every after the training.

First competition. That was our school intramurals. I was so scared coz i only had a week training. Tapos bihasa na makakalaban ko. Selection pa man din yun for the city meet and regional competition. I was so nervous and shocked when i knew that my opponent is one of the senior member of the team. "Oh my" was the only words that came out of my mouth when one of the officials announced the next fight, and that was me and the senior member. The referee is already on his position and I was just waiting for him to call us in the center of the ring. The moment came, the referee called us and my heart beats faster and then he announced to start the fight. My opponent landed a first kick on my tummy and it hurt me really bad but i never showed it to the referee, baka kasi tawagan ako ng warning at ihinto ang laban. He scored 1 point for that. But then i continued the fight. After 1 minute and 50 seconds, the 10 seconds left i landed an out-in kick on his face and made me scored two points and declared me to be the winner of that match. I was so happy and really can't believe what had happened. I became one of the best players on that day of the competition.

Next is about the Provicial Meet. First day of training, puro nalang stamina. Nakakasawa na kung minsan. Same routine. Kabisado ko na nga lahat eh. Pray, stretch, jog, warm up, kickings, foot works, etc. . . Same...same....same.... Wala na bang bago? That's when i decided to have aquatic training. Every after my Taekwondo training, i'll go to a nearest resort and have some laps for 2-3 hours. After that, uwi, tulog. Wala ng kain kain. Haha! That's how we trained before. I didn't noticed that i already have the discipline needed for a "jin" (taekwondo player). The day of the provincial meet came, and i'm so relax because our team doesn't have competitors meaning to say, wala kaming gagawin kundi tumulong sa match ng elementary level. Sad to say, walang regional meet na naganap so, back to normanl after provincial meet. Kalungkot. Back to school, same routine, training after school, go home, wake up early, prepare for school, study, trainong, etc...

 

Will just continue my Taekwondo journey in my next blog. I'll tell you how my training was in preparation for the provincial meet. Check it on my next blog.

Thanks for reading. Please follow this blog. God bless.

My High School Adventure

I will be writing here my high school adventures. This is where I entered Taekwondo.

This is my old photo taken using my cellphone (few years ago)

It all started siyempre after ng graduation ng elementary, vacation pa then enrollment then first day high. Nakakapanibago. Lahat sila bago pati gamit bago. Hahaha. I'm so proud that i'm in the higher section. Imagine, sa sobrang liit ng school ko, 32 sections lang namn ang isang level, and kada section, umaabot ng 50-60 students, nasa 2nd section ako. And take note, pili po ang napupunta sa 1-5 na sections. Yabang! Nakakahiya ang unang school day. Siyempre di din naman nawawala ang mga dati ng nakasama kaya sila ang kinakasama ko instead of my new classmates. Nakaka bored din ang unang pasok. Walang ginagawa then all of your teachers will ask you to introduce yourself, (sigh), kakasawa. But in fairness, kakatuwa ang iba as in kulang nalang ipakilala pati kapit bahay nila. Haha! Walang magagalit, kanya kanya tayong opinyon. Haha! I remember the first classmate na naka close ko was my former classmate. Hahaha! Ganun din parang wala ding nabago. First and 2nd week was boring but on the 2 month, we we're all enjoying the company of one another. Naging close na kami lahat but then, di maaalis ang kanya kanyang group. There's a group of weird, group of "feelingera" (trying hard to be beautiful but they can't and they're not. Hahaha! Kami, ang group namin, group of pasaway. Lahat alam, inom, cutting classes, counter strike, minsan yosi pero di ko natutunan ang mag sugal. Sayang kaya ang pera, pang counter strike din yun pag uwi. Hahaha! Sa lahat ng nagawa ko nung first year ako, i didn't forget that because i'm on that school is because i have to study. Take note, wala po akong palakol nun. Though mas mababa ang grades ko compared to my elementary grade but still, happy ako and happy din parents ko. I really enjoyed extra curricular activities like, intrams, educational tours, etc... Di ko naman naranasan mag educational tour but lahat ng sports sa school during intrams nasalihan ko except for chess and gymnastic. 

That's all for now and i'll continue my journey in high school soon. Please check above for my next blog.
