Meeting Jose Mari Chan


Adding to our collection is the old classic Jose Mari Chan Christmas CD signed by the man himself. I got to shake his hand too. He was such a nice and down to earth guy, he talked to everyone and answered their questions which made the album signing took so long. It was worth the wait. We may not be a fan back then, but we are now.

This is Teacher Anna



  • Teacher Anna is beautiful. She brightens my day every time I look at her smile.
  • Teacher Anna has an amazing voice. I love to hear her talk all day without getting annoyed.

  • Teacher Anna is funny. She makes me laugh so much that when I wanted her to stop, she'll make me laugh even more.
  • Teacher Anna is sexy. She is as white as her ipad, with lips as red as a Jollibee baseball cap, and has hypnotic eyes that I cant say no.
  • Teacher Anna is tall. She makes all my ex-gf look like dwarves.
  • Teacher Anna is strong. She can and had crushed my hand a couple of times without her knowing it.

  • Teacher Anna smells good. Her strawberry scent is everywhere in my place, my clothes, my computer table, my bed, my socks. When she leaves, I can still smell her.
  • Teacher Anna is hot. She wears short shorts, short skirts, and small t-shirts. When she's staying in my place, she wears my clothes.
  • Teacher Anna is brave. She goes to see doctors and hospitals alone, travels alone to places she's never been, and not afraid to try things she never tried before. 
  • Teacher Anna never forgets. She can remember all the things I told her, even those in our early years. Promises stayed promises because she reminds me of them all.
  • Teacher Anna is resourceful. When she wants something, she'll study and learn how people get it. Then gets it by herself.
  • Teacher Anna is kind. To her friends, sister, brother, even to stray kids, the crazy homeless, and the crippled beggars, she never refuse to help when she can.
  • Teacher Anna loves technology. Maybe they're not the latest and the most expensive gadgets out there, but she has them all and knows how to use them.
  • Teacher Anna can hack yahoo mail. She helped me proved that my ex-gf was lying to me right from the beginning by hacking the ip addresses of her emails to me.
  • Teacher Anna is down to earth friendly. She has over 4k friends in her facebook, and talks to more people in person, from the ordinary to the presidential candidates.
  • Teacher Anna is not shy. When I don't know how or can't do it, she's not shy to ask others for help for me.
  • Teacher Anna can make you cry. Whenever I'm stonecold, she talks to me by her heart and I end up feeling guilty for being inconsiderate to not just her, but to everyone.
  • Teacher Anna likes green. Anything green to green living. She doesn't smoke, and keeps her trash in her bag to keep environment green clean. 
  • Teacher Anna is sweet. As sweet as she is in making me give all my chocolates to her, she also shares them to her sister and brother.

  • Teacher Anna is a hardworker. Her company made her work 12 hours a day, when I told her I should report it, she said no, because it will hurt her fellow teachers too.

  • Teacher Anna is inventive. She makes props for her students for them to understand better. She draws, colors, and pastes them on hard boards. Even making paper-mache for a single class. 
  • Teacher Anna is emotional. She cries when she's hurt. She feels down when she fails. She's angry when she's called fat. And she's happy when I give her chocolates.
  • Teacher Anna is witty. Tell her a joke, she'll have a funnier comeback for it. Insult her, and you'll get the cutest sarcasm you'll ever hear.
  • Teacher Anna is unassuming. Her personality is bigger than anyone around her that she doesn't have to do anything to attract attention. She gets acknowledged right away.
  • Teacher Anna is affectionate. She hugs anything she thinks cute. She held my 1 year old nephew in her arms and whispered to me, "I want one". 
  • Teacher Anna is energetic. She can dance the Asereje (the Ketchup song) by Las Ketchup and the whole building shakes. 
  • Teacher Anna is a brilliant teacher. The company she worked trusted her to write alone their school curriculum in just a few days after being hired.

And most of all,


  • Teacher Anna is my fiancee. She's the one I'm spending my life with everyday for the last 4 years and I want a hundred more. I love her so much no matter what. And I'm gonna marry her next year.

When Life Takes Us By Surprise....



Don't know if it's day or night
Am I goin' wrong or right
I'm alone again, I'm without a friend

Don't know if I'm still alive
Am I gonna lose my mind?
will I fall again, will I stand the pain?

When life takes me by surprise
Will I just close my eyes?
Will I just let it be?

When life takes all your dreams away
It's hard to find the way
The strength to carry on

But I feel these tears will make me strong

Everything is turning grey
Just waiting for tomorrow, hey
gotta find myself
gotta break this shell

Cause I won't let it get me down
Don't wanna wear this ugly frown
I can start again
I believe I can

When life takes me by surprise
I won't just close my eyes
I won't just let it be
Cause I'll be strong enough to fight
To know what's wrong or right
And I will find my way
Someday, someday

Getting our names together in a book.

I haven't gotten much sleep for more than a week now. Sleepy but can't sleep and weary but not tired, I went to Claudia Gray and Madeleine Roux's book signing in Ayala 2 days ago. This has been a secret addiction of mine to go to these events for the last 2 years.

It's now about to change because instead of having only my name in the written dedication by the author, I now include her. And I felt better. I felt like I shared the book with her by letting her own it also.




Madeleine Roux asked if Eu and Anne are my kids. I said, "No, that's me and my girlfriend". Surprised, she told me her story the day before the book signing in Manila that a young girl had her book signed and said it was for her kids.

So why am I reading Young Adult books? The answer is simple, there will be movies of them soon. Will I not watch the movie because it was a YA book? The movie version only complements the book. The real story is in the book.

I didn't know I was already doing it.

Starting to get too close to someone can only result one thing. Annoyance. I thought after what happened, I should be there close to her. To be that someone to talk to so she doesn't have to go looking for someone else. Texting every waking hour. Convincing that nothing has changed. Looking for a solution, a closure of sort, moving on, and to forget about it.

I didn't know I was already intruding like a priest to someone who wants to take his own life. I forgot to ask if I was needed. Everyone needs help once in a while, but wanting to be needed is down right pathetic, and I didn't know I was already doing it.

I'm standing too close, and this party is over! I need to get the fuck out of people's problems.
