|  | We spent a full week in Daet with friends who are suckers for adventure.
In most of our usual wild streaks, we get a local guide to give us a tour of the places we want to reach...usually the undiscovered ones.
Kuya Romy Salva is the best guide in Daet.
He knows the history.
He knows the legends.
In fact, he knows so much that even the paranormal knows him.
He's got words of wisdom to share like..."GOOD VALUES AND GOOD NEWS".
He went with us when we wanted to cross a small portion of the Pacific Ocean to get to Kinamanukan Island.
He taught most of the adventurers how to jump off a small cliff straight to the gushing Mampurog riverpool.
He is quite popular especially in his town of San Lorenzo.
"Oger!" the locals would call him...but he is far from Shrek.
One day...he opened his home to us and showed us a slice of his life.
He lives in a quiet village of Mampurog.
Romy "Oger" Salva went up the coconut tree to refresh us.
Around his home are wild bananas...sayote...eggplant...pineapples.
The simple life indeed.
We met his family...his clan...his whole tribe.
We asked for a mountain trek and he gave us one near his home.
"Malapit lang...segundo lang"...so typical of Oger.
The trek was actually steep.
But not for Oger and his children.
They were like grasshoppers lilting from cliff to cliff.
The trail....well...WHAT TRAIL?
We had Kuya Romy with us.
He was the trail.
He brought us to the foot of the mountain where we can experience the extension of Mampurog River.
He fed us talong and bagoong with a few shots of Ginebra.
We enjoyed his slice of simple life by the river...in the jungle...near the mountain.
He was happy with the visit.
He said...he would've been happier if the whole team was there...
"Pwede kayo mag-tent dito...si Ryan matutuwa magluto dito"
"Si Shats baka gumulong dito."
"Masaya kung kumpleto kayong nagpunta dito"....
...we sensed it. He missed the whole gang of thrill-seekers.
In his simple place...Romy "Oger" Salva is the local Tarzan.
We felt safe with him around.
If you want to explore Daet, Camarines Norte...there's only one local guide who would make it worth the trip...because he is a "trip" himself.
Romy "Oger" Salva! Highly recommended!
Cheers!

for everyone |
Welcome! First off, we want to give credit and thanks to the wonderful Dr. Elaine Aron who first introduced all of us to this important inherited trait of high sensitivity and who wrote the landmark 1996 book The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You. And, make sure you visit her website www.hsperson.com. Now, as an introduction to the trait of high sensitivity, see if some of these statements resonate with you, or relate to someone important in your life...  You, your partner, or someone important to you have a heightened awareness of subtleties in your environment, whether it's sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell. You can become stressed out and upset when overwhelmed and may find it necessary to get away, maybe into a darkened room, to seek solitude, relief and comfort. You are very creative. You are very conscientious, hard working, and meticulous, but may become uncomfortable and less efficient or productive when being watched or scrutinized. You feel compelled to file and organize things and thoughts, also enjoy simplicity and may become overwhelmed or even immobilized by chaos, clutter, or stress. You are very uncomfortable when feeling things are getting out of your control. You get a sense of comfort and well being when around a lake, river, stream, the ocean, or even a fountain. You may experience mood swings, sometimes occurring almost instantly and can also be affected by other people's moods, emotions and problems. You have a deep, rich, inner life, are very spiritual, and may also have vivid dreams. You are very intuitive and you feel that you can usually sense if someone isn't telling the truth or if something else is wrong. You get concerned and think or worry about many things, and have also been told "you take things too personally." You have had the experience of "cutting people out" of your life. You were considered quiet, introverted, timid, or shy as a child. So guys...am I missing out on new breakthroughs? Is HSP an advantage or a disadvantage? Can you list down more HSP traits for the reasearch I'm doing? I'd really appreciate a piece of your mind. (not necessarily highly sensitive). Thanks guys! MARNIE : Tingin ko...kailangan nating mag-tatag ng sarili nating "girl band". Palagay mo?
MITZ : Okay.
MARNIE: Bakit parang ang tamad mo mag-isip?
MITZ : Sinong nagsabing tamad akong mag-isip?! IPAPUPULIS KO!!! Sino?!!!
MARNIE: So, tingin mo...pag naghubad ka...matatalbugan natin "sila"?
MITZ : WHO IS?! Kahit hindi ako maghubad tumatalbog ako. E ikaw?
MARNIE: Bouncy pa ko sa volume ng buhok mo. So, tingin mo...form tayo ng "group"?
MITZ : Like, tayong dalawa lang? Ayos. Sige. Mitz and Marnie. Patok yan.
MARNIE: Hindi...magpapa-GOSI tayo. GOSI! Sama mo yung kabit mo!
MITZ : Sino sa mga yon?! Sige LesGOSI. I hab a pren, ya know.. add mo sya prendster!
MARNIE: Teka....nasaan ba tayo? Bahay na ba'to? Bahay mo?
MITZ : Huh? Nasan ako? Bakit ako nandito?! Sino ka? Sino ako?!
MARNIE: SINO KAAAAAAAAA?
MITZ : Ako ang dakila. Ako ang tunay na baliw. Ako. Ako. Ako na walang malay. Ikaw?
MARNIE: Wala akong maalala...
MITZ : Whatever, Marnie. You're such a loser.
MARNIE: OF COURSE NOT! Uwi ka na kaya?
MITZ : Ang tagal nitong mga 'to. Pakshets. Ikaw, uuwi ka na?
MARNIE: Teka...sino ka ba?
MITZ : Ako ang nag-iisang Dyosa at ikaw ang aking alipin. Yaya, water, please.
MARNIE: Use CIFRA in a sentence...
MITZ : Marnie.. Ihatechu. Pero you're still a pren op mine.
MARNIE: Ang ganda ng kabayo! May stripes! Its a CIFRA!
MITZ : HUWAW! AMAZING!!! pa-autograph?
MARNIE: Nasaan nga ba tayo? 2:30 na ng umaga, eh.
MITZ : Matalas.
MARNIE: Bakit ba tayo nandito? Bahay na ba'to?
MITZ : Bahay na ito. Pero hindi bahay ko. Bahay mo ba'to?
MARNIE: Hindi. Gusto ko lang tugtugan dito. Ikaw? Bakit nandito ka pa?
MITZ : Eh kasi sasabay lang ako sa matatanda. Eh ikaw, wala nang tugtugan ah.
MARNIE: Onga! Uwi na ko! Monday na lang ulit. Sa Bahay na Bato! Kitakitz!
MITZ : Bye. Bukas sa PENGUIN. Siguradong masarap ang tugtugan! TaralesGOSI!
MARNIE: (biglang sumayaw sa kanta ng Hija to the tune of PUSTAHAN)
NOTE: THIS IS AN ACTUAL CONVERSATION TYPED BY MITZELLE and I.

taxi white - clearly said
oh my God - clearly said
high five! yeah! - clearly said with timing and passion
mulk and pillow - milk and pillow
yummy moomoo - disguised milk
horse - clearly said
left right left - clearly said when marching
one, two, tee, foh, fahb, se-ven, eight, nan, teeeen! - he counts 1-10 (and i think he really likes to skip six)
and more...he can be much more!
migo...we will definitely visit you again...
i'd like to thank all your grandparents for bringing your parents to the world and in a whirl of a wind...migo's here...playing with us.
See you soon guys!
HIGH FIVE!
YEH!

Personally...I'm super touched with the presence of the Island Chicken Inasal Scout Bora family. Yep! They were there! Nina, Rainbow and Lea. Rainbow even stayed.
There's also some bonus friends. Ditas of Pepeton's and Francesca's long time college friends Jannice and Tin.
Of course...the solid ones are also there...JOBY, CHEZA, RY, and the one..the only...with matching...namamagang mata...MITZELLE.
Marie...salamat sa party!

Scene 1. Marnie talking to herself...savouring family pictures while beating deadlines...nursing a fever. Music under...Madonna's Borderline...seems like I'm going to lose my mind" This simple wooden welcome artwork hangs in my Dad's house in Cavite just to remind all of us that it is what it is...God's power is greater than any of our problems. Amazing how He gives us hope when we feel like shit. Awesome how He gives us strength when we are down and out...in any situation...nervous wreck, financially lost, emotionally burdened, mentally ill, and spiritually broken. Stinger music sfx...PSYCHO'S KNIFE WIELDING WENK! WENK! WENK! Marvelous how He clears my heart...when I feel like doing something criminal...like being a bitch...strangling another bitch...gunning down an evil taxi driver when I have PMS... Music up...when you're weary and you can't sleep...count your blessings instead of sheep... Faboulous that He showers me with blessings since the day I was born...He has blessed me so much that I already lost count. voice over under echo effect and sephulclar...YOU ARE HEALED! Wonderful that He heals my "nagnat, nubo, nipon"...and all other bodily ailments whenever I abuse my body...with vices, too much work, fatigue...and still manages to FORGIVE me when I say SORRY...on my knees and in tears. Mighty! He definitely is for showering me with blessings. Scene 2: Someone heard me thinking aloud...music up...Ryan Cayabyab's kutikuta-kukyu-kutikutakukita...under...mga nag chi-chismisan..." "Alam mo ba? Ano? Si Marnie nagbabasa pala ng Bible?" "Talaga? Hindi halata! Eh diba ang kulit nun?" Scene 3: Marnie answers in her head...stinger sfx...paputok..sinturon ni Judas pang alis ng malas. Oo. MInsan. Nagbabasa ako ng Bible...pero gusto kong dalasan ang pagbabasa nito. Scene 4: Activate firecrackers a la Enchanted Kingdom...Hija plays...Bangungot...Manalig ka...manalig ka... I have so many things to be thankful for...because God, continues to shower me with blessings like family, friends, career. I lost count already...so many blessings. Little blessings and big ones...like breathing. My heart's been pumping for 40 years now and it hasn't stopped beating. That's miracle enough. I'm halfway thru my lifespan and I'm going to have fun with what's left of it by paying it forward. And when the beat slows down... ...I am priviledged to say...I'm happy I've trusted and known Him...Oo...kahit wala sa itsura ko... sfx...sinturon ni judas and fireworks together...music up...Donny and Marie...May tomorrow, be a perfect day...may you find love and laughter along the way...May God keep you...in his tender care...till He brings us together again...g'night everbody... Check it out guys...PSALMS 23: 1-6...gagaan pakiramdam nyo...Bilibmi. curtain call...end with Queen's I want to break free...! 
It happens to most of us. I'm not really a fan of religion but my faith in God is strengthened by the things that I see and experience. We usually see Him nailed on the cross to remind us that we've been assholes and are still forgiven. Isn't He cool? We usually think of Him in photos or artworks wearing long robes because that's the fashion during His time when the promised land was in chaos. Technically it still is. But He is the coolest friend. The perfect planner. His timing is unmatched. He is everywhere. He is energy. Positive energy. He is even there when we are negative. He's there when we lie, cheat, loathe, hate, hopeless. He is there when we're drunk, when we're down, when your marriage is on the rocks, when we're suicidal, mad, angry, insane. He is there when we think we're in love with someone but uncertain. He's there whenever you need to kiss the ass of your boss because of survival. He is there when some of us thrive in pain. Sometimes we forget to trust the coolest Guy who created us all. He is energy. He is good vibes. He is there when you least expect that things will turn full circle...because He's there. We all have expiration dates on Earth. The choice is ours. "MARNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, you have a new project!" "MARNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, you have a deadline to beat!" "MARNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, it's time to write a song!" "MARNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, uwi ka muna sa Cavite!" "MARNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, you have to swallow your pride!" "MARNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, ang tigas ng ulo mo!" "MARNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! It's time to do something positively awesome!" "MARNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Gotta go! God is calling! 
| | Meg and Oz. I haven't seen them for quite awhile. But you know what? This connection with them is definitely quite tighter than other so-called friends I've met. Friendships weigh a lot to me. But not to others. Some "friends" are there for favors. Some "friends" are there for raket purposes. Some "friends" are there who just want to use the friendship for selfish reasons. When you refuse to be used...these "friends" disappear. Gone. Ziltch. Not this couple. Not Meg and Oz. We are friends and we know it...with no conditions. I hope to meet up with my other REAL friends like OZ and MEG very soon. Love you guys! |
Refreshing. Masarap sa tenga. Mas masarap sila panoorin ng live. Masarap ang groove. Masarap ang trip. Masarap ang Pinoy Soul. Parang motown na di ko mawari. Check their music. hijaband.multiply.com...sarap eh... 
| | Na-try mo na ba matutukan ng baril sa ulo kasi gusto ka nakawan ng isang kriminal sa kalye? Nakakatakot, man. Nasubukan mo na bang matutukan ng kutsilyo kasi sumigaw ang kriminal ng...HOLDAP TO! Titigil ang puso mo!
Ako, dinanas ko yun. Live to tell naman ako sa mga action packed misadventures ng mga eksenang yun ng buhay ko. Nung tinutukan ako ng baril...pumalag ako. So, inupakan ako ng ulul. Nung naagawan ako ng cellphone, hinabol ko...walang tumulong. May witnesses...pero natakot sumaklolo. Binunutan ako ng kutsilyo natural...atras ako. Nababasa mo lang sa dyaryo...napapanood sa TV. HEADLINE: 7 PATAY SA HOLDAP SA BUS! 37 STAB WOUNDS IN ONE PLACE! Akala mo hindi pwedeng mangyari sayo? Pwede pala. Meron nga...mga biktimang napuruhan na talaga. Yung iba, gulay na. So...naka-relate ako sa cause ng Ingat Avenue at Rock Ed. Ginamit naman nila ang tugtugan para sa awareness na mag-ingat tayong lahat. Donation na rin para sa isang musikerong ang pangalan ay Tara. Agaw buhay siya dahil biktima siya. Binaril siya sa ulo. Sa totoo lang...type ko na nga magka-baril eh. Para makalaban naman ako. Kahit nawater gun na may asido. Anyway...suportado ng Hija sampu ng kanilang mga tropa ang Ingat Avenue at RockEd. Hija...kahit na medyo kulelat kayo sa line-up...para kay Tara pa rin to! Sarap pa rin ng tugtugan niyo. Uy! Ukinamsheth! 3am na! Ang dilim dito! Uwi na tayo...baka ma-holdap pa ko dito. Take the Ingat Avenue dudes! |
| | It was an honest mistake. We went to Magnet to catch a gig but then...we didn't know that it was a private party. We didn't know the celebrant...but we were welcomed like we were invited when technically, we invited ourselves. We were surrounded by rockstars belting their videoke best. Turned out, Gang, the birthday girl was not just celebrating her birthday but she has a cause to pursue. We want to share that cause with everyone. Do you have your laptop with you? Google out ROCK ED PHILIPPINES...and just like us...be gatecrashers with a cause. Cheers Gang! It's fun knowing you...and we will see more of you in the future without crashing your gate! Mabuhay ka! |
| | I'm all out for adventure and won't mind a dose of adrenaline every now and then... but honestly...thrill rides like the Space Shuttle in EK can bring out the chickenshit in me. I can't handle the loop...unlike these kidz. Can you find Anton, Javi, and Sara in the loop? Tell me which part of the space barf they are! Catch the champs! Sports Kidz Rule! Saturdays...11:30 am...Studio 23 and TFC. Season 4 begins on August 16! Loop out! |

 | hey saykopath you looks good in this youtube i found  byebye |
 | marnie!!! miss ko na blog mo! |
 | Good Afternoon! Call me! Hi! Good day to you!
|
 | hey tristan i just got back from a conference called World Knowledge dialogue. it was a week long meeting of the most brilliant scientists in the world... check out my newly posted pictures. Sadly there was no Filipino representative... so i guess in twenty years time... Dr. Tristan James G. Sim will be representing the Philippines in that conference :) check it out there were biologists, chemists, physicists, astronomers, nuclear scientists and lots more...
i took pictures of people who could be a good role model for you in the scientific field... hmmm there you go... you see what i would do for my nephew and nieces huh?
take care kiddo. |
| ok ok... but you seem to have gotten it all wrong... im not a Garry V. person eeewwww, think of me as more of a Nickleback, or Ramstein, or to the furthest extreme Children of Bodom, Skillet, Demon Hunter... person.. you got me all wrong hehhehe... i guees we're just gonna kick it resto style like you suggested.. pero its too early to get everyone's confirmation yet... kasi naman some of them may have already forgotten me... pero who cares... i just want my last hoorah as a teenager to be a rather good one... hence the ultra paranoid planning ahead of time in epic proportions.
thanks cuzin... looking forward to your visit here... but i must warn you.. we're villagers now... uhmm no, mountaineers, there is barely a trace of civilization in where we live.... i hope you can survive under these conditions.
