pasko, paksiw

merry christmas, jeje. miss na miss kita.
its 1:59 PM in Pinas, 8:59AM here in saudi arabia.

sa wakas nakausap ko din ang sister ko, a few minutes back. si ermat at si utol na bunso ay natutulog daw, siguro napuyat kakahintay sa tawag ko na kahit anong gawin ko, hindi makalusot. akala ko ba walang pera ang mga tao sa Pinas, pero bakit busy ang lahat ng linya. kunsabagay, sigurado din ako na lahat ng tawag na iyon, incoming.

kagabi, nung 12mn ng Christmas Eve sa atin (7pm naman dito), papunta ako sa ospital para tanggalin ang dressing sa mga sugat ko. huling appointment ko na sa doctor na nagtanggal ng gall bladder ko nung 17th. siempre, nag-iisa na naman ako.

solo ako nung ipasok ko ang sarili ko sa ospital para sa operasyon. halos solo-solo din ako dun sa mahigit 36 hours na nagpapagaling ako sa ospital maliban na lang nung dumalaw ang dalawang kaopisina pagkatapos ng trabaho nung 17th at nung ihatid ako pauwi ng kapatirang Singles nung 18th. pero ganito naman talaga ang buhay dito sa saudi. kailangan masanay na sa pag-iisa.

kagabi din, nagluto ng pancit bihon ang mga ka-flat para daw sa Noche Buena pero nag-iisa lang akong kumain -- kasi yung dalawa nangapit-bahay kung saan madami raw ang handa; yung isa naman, busy sa harap ng laptop nya- nagbo-boggle supreme.

buti na lang, dumaan si Ken, me hatak-hatak pa na dalawang Bikolano na noon ko lang nakita. ang ending, naubos ang pancit at samoli na inihain nina flatmate. well, at least jeje, me nakausap ako habang kumakain.

hanggang sa opisina, mabigat ang pakiramdam ng Pasko. sarado ang apat na executive office na nakapalibot sa akin, maliban dun sa praning na executive na kinakausap ang sarili habang nagtse-check ng daily bank position. alam ba nilang araw ng Pasko ngayon? malay naman nila e Muslim silang lahat.

mabuti pa kila reynz, pwedeng-pwede na mag-senti with full dramatic effect: tatanawin ang nahuhulog na snow sa bintanang foggy dahil sa lamig habang nagki-click ang apoy sa fireplace at tumutugtog ang radio:

"chestnut roasting on an open pyre
jack frost nipping up your nose...
yuletide carolers being strung on a wire,
and folks dressed like Eskinol...
everybody knows a turkey eats some mistletoe
to make the season bright;
tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow...
you'll find it hard to sleep tonight..."

maligaya ang pasko

Merry Christmas everybody!

methane gas

hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling ito, pero share ko na din sa inyo...

The following bulletin is being issued as a warning due to its explosive nature (especially those residing overseas):

The Glorietta blast is being blamed by our police on methane gas from shit under the old makati supermarket building. Ever since the police made their report known, the world is both laughing and fearing Filipinos, as the people with the most explosive shit in the world.

Scientists from Russia, the US and China are now analyzing the typical Filipino's diet to learn what could produce shit with such an explosive force.

The Harvard Medical School have come out with a preliminary conclusion that it is the strange mixture of bagoong, dinuguan and balot combined that give Filipinos' shit their explosive nature.

Steps are also being discussed among airport managers worldwide to ask Filipinos to empty their colons before boarding planes lest they bring explosive material on board.

In news elsewhere, several Filipinos were kidnapped in Afghanistan and Iraq, supposedly by Arab terrorists. The kidnapped Filipinos are being asked to produce shit to be made into bombs for suicide missions.

The US State Dept fearing deadly consequences from these shit-IED's have assigned Delta Force operatives to keep watch over all Filipinos abroad to prevent any more Filipinos (and their shit) from falling into the hands of terror groups!
