Jeepney chants

It was a rainy cold night when I was leaving home. I'm on my way to visit a colleague friend and also to have some "korom" time. While riding a multicab going to Parkmall this group of male singers suddenly started to introduce themselves inside the running vehicle. They start to have this same dialogue

"Ate kuya ayaw hugawa inyo huna-huna. Manganta rami dili me snatcher dili me kawatan...."

When they haven't made that introduction I knew it that they're some of those jeepney rappers. As they started caroling their composed rap I look away and ignored them. When they're done singing they would asked some money(cents) from the passengers. So I tend not to look at them and avoid eye contact so that they would think I am not interested. At the same time showing them that I don't really care and have no intention in giving some of my money(coins, cents).

When I arrived in parkmall I ride another jeepney having the route of Urgello Colon(01k). It was just in time that I was the last person to ride the jeepney parked in the terminal before it would leave. While the jeepney was running the rained poured hard.

The jeepney stopped after the driver to pulled over since a passenger was gonna ride. And suddenly a group of little girls immediately got inside the jeepney before we could leave. They're soaked in wet and probably around 4-5 years old.

I was thinking "Here we go again..another part of street rap and singing".  I knew it all along when they introduced themselves the same as those introduction that the first street rappers made few minutes ago.

I was gonna do the same thing and ignore them. But the moment they started singing it was a different thing And not even similar to those rapper boys so I started to listen to there chants. To my consent I was enjoying at it and started to stomp my feet secretly. While listening to their lyrics carefully realizing that these girls quite have a different gig.

They're singing a different theme and some of the passengers started laughing. The little girls entertained us by singing what they have composed but the lyrics were a bit funny. As I recall some the lyrics goes like this:

"Mga Kuya pina pilit ang hinapay pero torpe"
"Mga Ate baga og make up pero dili d i mga Babae"

All along while these girls were singing I was nodding my head and appreciated what they have done. And after what they have performed. It convinced me to gave them some of my few coins. I didn't hesitate since I knew these girls would use the money to buy food or give some to their parents.

Not like those first group composed of 3 boys were in you could think how they will spend their earnings. Probably spend it on drugs(meth, dope, solvent). Too bad I left my cellphone at home since it was raining. I could have recorded that funny but unforgettable experience.

11 - AK47s
Note: After this wave I would replace my shotgun with the AK45 Weapon so I have MP5 and AK as my two weapons.

12 - AK47s
13 - AK47s and suicide Bombers

20 - 2 regular juggernauts + 1 riot juggernaut
Note: During this wave I would use 6 C4 to kill the 3 juggernaut but you have to have the right timing. You need to put them in a single place all at the same time so that when the C4 explodes they will be all killed.

21 - FADs
22 - FADs + claymore placing PM-9s
Note: After this wave I would purchase a PKP Machine Gun. And I would upgrade it and purchase the GRIP and RED DOT for enhancement. I would use this machine gun to kill the chopper and also as a backup gun if I ran out of ammo using my primary weapon.

I would also place C4 at the back of the souvenir shop since some enemies would use the back door and sneak there.

23 - FADs + PM-9s + suicide C4ers + 1 chopper
Note: During this waves that there is a chopper I would kill the chopper last since this gives me time to run freely to the markets. I am able to run and hide while purchasing what I need(Self revive, Claymore, C4, Grenade, Ammo, Flashbang)

26 - 2 juggernauts, 1 riot juggernaut + FADs
Note: I would use the air strike when the enemies are closing in and especially when the juggernauts are approaching. I would throw first the flash bang then the smoke grenade to signal the air strike.

View the picture I have placed beneath for clay more guides and other strategies.

Early bitterness of learning.

It's rainy season once again and going to school would be a day to day struggle for most of the kids living in Philippines. During these times many would suffer including kids and those who  are living near canals and other areas where water can immediately rise. I myself experienced worst case scenario during heavy and unexpected rains.

Water would overflow and get inside your house as quickly as 5 mins. Polluted water would fill  the drainage system and those houses nearby river banks would get flooded in an instant.

Polluted water that would knock on your door but also garbage's and also both human/animal waste.

Children would suffer from this kind of situations as they can't focus on their studies. Since they are distracted by the bitter reality that sorrounds them.

Kids would be soaked in wet together with their bag and school supplies.

Another problem would be the electric shortage to other places. Kids would study using candles or lamp.

 As they try to review their notes or do their assignment on the pitch-black environment.

Others would do it as soon as they arrive in school with a dim light.

As the pages of their books and notebooks would curl and the content would fade because they are all wet. The lack of these supplies would be another hindrance to quality education.

Unfortunately few kids would not get adequate and proper education. Some of them would even share books with others during classes.

One book would be shared with 3 to 4 kids during on-going class discussions. The hardships that these kids have encountered should be attended. They deserve some attention since as young as their age they settle to half bake learning system.  It's just unfair for them to have been treated like this.

Rainy days would be a huge problem especially if the school is quite far.

Kids from those provinces would travel at least 30 mins of walking just to reach their Alma Mater.

And when it rains you would usually see them on parade using banana leaves to comfort them and keep them dry.

As they march together with their neighbors going to school and talk about random things.

As they trick their minds on ignore both the weather and the obstacle terrain that they are going through.

When they arrive in school expect wet socks with dirt on their feet. And that would be the first thing that you would see. Some who are wearing sleepers have mud all over their feet(lucky for them they will just wash it off).

How hard for these kids to absorb knowledge despite these resources that they have. How fragile they can go as they continue to learn things the hard way.

As these kids would grow and sooner they would realize how they spent their childhood. They would just look back and start to think all over again how things happened quickly during those youthful and innocent era.

Surprise fiesta visit.

So I decided to leave Cebu for a while since i had enough of it's pollution. I made my decision to go home and visit my parents on my home town. This time I would surprise my parents that I would go home this fiesta since it has been a year and a half that I haven't seen them. I failed to go home last year due to hectic schedule of work.

I didn't texted nor replied the text from my father since he texted me if my uncle would visit them he would ask some favor. My father would eventually ask some razor blades for his beard/mustache and some milk for my mom. Even if I received his text messages I didn't replied for the purpose of a surprise.

When it was the day for departure I was not able to sleep on the boat the whole 8 hours. The boat(medallion transport) left the port of Cebu exactly 9pm and it was sluggish on it's voyage. Plus it was not really cool inside the boat since we were able to get the economy ticket. I told my uncle to purchase the tourist ticket so that we can sleep well on an air condition environment.  Since there was a slight difference of the around 100 pesos from economy to tourist ticket. Heck I would rather pay for a good sleep while travelling rather than sitting the whole 8 hours waiting in vain.


I noticed that there were a lot of familiar faces on the boat. And most of the passengers are from our hometown. Some of them were even our relatives so we didn't really expect it. They have the same purpose to go home and that was to enjoy the fiesta and have some vacation also.

When the boat was nearing the port I could just feel the cold and cool swift of the wind. Yes this is paradise for me and I had an instant excitement feeling about it. The boat arrive around 5:30 am in Bato Leyte and it was raining also.  So we immediately took a tricycle before the rain would pour hard.

When were riding the tricycle I was just smiling along the way since I know mom and dad would be surprise.  Plus I bought a mothers day surprise gift a Samsung LED 32 inch TV. While we were entering our baryo I could see now the open wide vast green rice fields. The scene that would someone entertain me so I started to feast the view. And then we arrived at our house I saw my father sitting near the road side together with some of my relatives. Caught him smiling since he didn't expect that I would arrive together with his brother.

I also saw my mom ahead probably having her morning walk as her exercise. Oh damn I could see her smile while approaching fast as I also come near her to greet and bless her hand. While she was carrying some vegetables on her hand.

We walk all inside since we would have our breakfast and coffee. While we were in side I noticed there reaction that they were delighted of what I have brought. I really tried my best to save some extra cash to purchase something so that they will have there own TV. And I don't want them to watch television on our neighbor's house.

While we were setting up the antenna there was a missing piece that was missing in order for the coaxial cable to fit. My parents were a bit feeling foul since they might not able to watch and use it today and beside it's game 4 of the Nba finals. I said to myself I won't go back to cebu if this television won't play LOL! so we immediately went to the nearest town(lungsod). Our purpose was also to have some grocery and meat stock for there consumption. And we were lucky enough to purchase what we need and the antenna cord converter. When we arrive back home the TV was working well and all smiles for us and I can sense that they were happy.

I was also able to see and greet my relatives including the old ones whom could hardly recognize me due to there blurry eye sight. I ask for their hand and showed manners by blessing it and also hug them for comfort. I was able to see the places that I missed hanging out and the good green rice field view from the window of my room.

I was just a two day vacation and I wanted to extend more days but I need to go back to cebu for work reasons. As much as I wanted I would love to stay around 1 week since I missed and love to live a simple life in my home town.

Until the next time I would be back and visit my parents I would find another way to surprise them. :)

Back to school

It's the first day of June and usually this reminds us one common thing. Classes would start or it's back to school once  again. I could still remember my struggles when I was a kid especially waking up early LOL!. As soon as the month of June enters leave the fun times and memories of summer behind.

• Get a new haircut that the school requires. 
• Make sure your circumcision is healed. Kids will be kids sharing and brag your experiences on how was it(Wa may sakit dali ra kaayo na ayo, gikamatis man to ako bai naka tamak kog iti)
• Try to find school supplies and things that can still be used in school.
• Check if the uniforms would still fit(usually they don't after growing)

I miss my childhood experience the moment that classes would start. Some would cry

and weep at school. Others would eventually scream and run in the lobby after knowing their parents or guarding had went home. Others are still lazy same as before were in they are like snorlax inside the classroom.

For the girls you would just be shocked how they grow so fast especially their height. You would wonder what they wear eating all summer long since they ended up that tall in just a couple of months. Well others would still be the same as before but others would have changed complexion. 

Others who have fair, white complexion had turned into brown due to too much summer escapade and vacation. Others would even have dyed their hair for the purpose of summer activities.

Since it's start of the school summer fun and activities would be missed. And of course rainy situations would be experience were in this would be a nightmare for kids who loves to sleep all day just like me.

The first thing that I remember when I was in elementary the moment the school ends was to check my classroom. The second worse feeling was know how crucial our teacher/adviser would be(always prayed for this hehehe).

The second would be knowing and checking who are your classmates. This goes both ways were in you would see if you are still with your comrades or they are now on different sections. And then you would know if you are classmates with your childhood crush LOL!.

The last part would be claiming your territory and that would be were to sit. I always hope that seat plan would not be implemented so that I can sit beside my friends and were I am comfortable(dili pa atubangan para makatog og dili maoy pa answeron hahaha).

And after the class I would just go home right away so that I can still watch cartoons when I get home. Or play to whatever games.  And perhaps the best news you can hear be NO CLASSESS/ WALANG PASOK. Such a sweet and satisfying  to hear that it gives you an overjoy reaction.

A glimpse of a secret park

Was busy drinking coffee and what caught my eye sight was a glimpse of a secret park. There were high walls surrounding it and green fresh grass were growing. Goat and other animals like dogs would roam around freely and play. As children will gather to fly kites and play games. What a place to be with were in fresh air and cool shelter from the trees beside you.

It was the most relaxing view I have witnessed despite the hazard thinking and problems I have today. As the fresh grass grow at its peak and a small hole filled with water seems like a lake. I want to jump from the building I am staring with and go down to that place at it provoke me to be there.

I just want to be there and feel the soft grasses on my feet. Especially when it's raining were in the soft moist allows you to feel it on your foot. No matter how I look at it and how I picture out it looks best as the way it is.

I have been always a dreamer and followed some visions of my own. But what I saw was just a realistic kind of place. Behind all those walls was a great wide place for recreation as I pass beside those walls when it's time for me to go home after work. But what was hidden and protected from those walls was a great view that can only be seen when you are above.
