An Introduction…
I have been collecting some Japanese movies and anime for some years now, though most that I bought had been a bit of an accident or by chances when I saw them at store… I’d rather call them self discovering of some sort… I bought them not because I saw them from some television shows, most people would laugh at me when one would see them at my box collection… and makes fun of me… Even the type of music/records I’ve been collecting or playing over my component or pc… not just the JROCK/JPOP but also my other music collections that I’ve been collecting even before I started to be in a band that my friends and I formed way back in the late 90’s… I like to play my music real loud, as “The Cure” would put it in their album “play this music loud”.
I’ve been always in the habit of self discovering what my interest would be… from music, books etc, etc… well, not always… some are introduced by some friends… though there’s a high chance I would totally ignore or forget what is shown to me if I’m not interested, err… Usually I’m not interested… ^_^;
I’ve been influenced by some…
Jon “Slayer” – One of my closest friend, and one of the founder/original member, drummer and bassist of our “Auditory Onslaught” band till he moved/went to the state… and with it our ever struggle to keep the band intact till I and Igor just lost interest keeping the band together… anyway, he’s the one who introduced me to this whole metal/rock scene…I would just categorize the gothic, symphonic, doom, death and everything nice and spicy err… I mean, with metal as “metal/rock” ^_^;
This guy is a big influenced on me on almost anything and my attitude towards everything/anything… or should I just say… makes me even more sinister and darker back then hak! hak! ^_^; Though, I don’t share he’s style of laughter like “Bwahahaha!” I’ll just leave that style of laughing to both of Igor and him… ^_^; I’m the shy type of person you know…
Whenever this guy would to come at our house, he would have a handful of some metal band records from his hands that we would listen to at my room while chatting over something of a dark theme ^_^ hehehe… and with that, I became interested in this type of music, and I find myself collecting these types of music…. For years we would trade and borrow each others collections… now, back then… It was really hard to find a copy of this type of music and it’s even harder to find some info about the bands we like… and the radio are not playing them… So, He and I kinda like to hunt for records label like the “Nuclear Blast”, “Music For Nation” and “Century Media” to name a few, It would be luck if you find one with that type of record label at some record bar, I never pass the opportunity and buy that record without a second thought, just grab it from the shelves and pay… I would usually visit the store once or twice a week, and staying there for an hour or so, searching everything just so I can have a new records to listen to… then my craving would stop for a couple of days… I couldn’t satisfy my craving till I find one and it’s been a trial and error when buying these types of music. Most are really not that worth the money but since we had no choice back then as we couldn’t find a review on things we like to listen to… we kinda just reviewed each other’s collections. Though at some point in time I also began to collect anything that interest me like some classical music from Mozart, Old Rock and Roll… Beach Boys, Simon And Garfunkel, Beatles… etc… etc… Yeah, go laugh at it… But seriously, I kinda had/have a really wide range of taste of interest for music though I find it really hard to have interest in or to like the RNB type of music… Sorry about that…
Igor – Also one of my closest… He’s our band vocalist/guitarist/bassist/drummer uhm… multi talented individuals here… have I missed something? This guy, doesn’t introduced me to anything and doesn’t share anything with me… well, until we talked about it or I would talk about the things that interest me or things I’ve discovered recently and I want to share my new found knowledge and experience with him… Then I would find out that he already knows everything about it… ^_^ crazy…
He let me borrow this black tattered cover book during one of these Christian holiday called holy week when there was still no cable TV, no internet, no cell phone and even phone lines… no nothing… that was the late 80’s or early 90’s? so long for me to remember and during this time there are no television/radio shows aired at the local channels for a week and you are not allowed to play outside or play anything loud or even listen to music… So, you’ll really die of boredom during those/that time… That black book was “The Queen of the Damned” by Anne Rice… And I instantly got hooked reading that book and the Vampire Chronicles… though he already knows I was into vampires and things like that…
Fast forward a couple of years after Jon left for the state, as I was watching something or channel surfing one evening, I came across this concert being shown from this cable channel called wowow, and saw this young female singing…I fell in love with her voice and her song though I couldn’t understand a word she sings ‘cause it’s in Japanese but the title of the song was shown below the screen and it’s called “Endless Sorrow”. And before I knew It, I was watching the whole concert and recording it with my VCR hehehe… I’ve become an instant fan of Ayumi Hamasaki that night. And that kind of started my interest in the JPOP/JROCK scene… Then one afternoon, Igor and I met outside and went to the store for a cigar and some soft drinks… I told him about Ayumi and he laughed and said “Blond ang buhok ano?” (She’s got a blond color hair), What? You already knew about her? And he’s already been into Japanese stuffed long before I even got interested into anime and stuffed like that… Well, as of this day… we kinda traded / borrow each other stuffed… And I’m grabbing anything Japanese especially the horror movies from the video store whenever I could find one… That also includes the Korean horror movies like the “Tale of Two Sister”, "The Phone" ^_^;
What else you have not shared with me but until recently? ^_^ Oh’ the Linux operating system… I think he knows much, much more about this other OS than me… And I didn’t know he’s also into Linux until I saw him online at some late hours of the night at some messenger that I am using besides the Yahoo Messenger with a status of “Testing Different Types of Linux Distro” or something… hehehe… well, He doesn’t shared anything with me but he’s the guy that widened my knowledge on a lot of things… especially with computers… he makes it looks cool at everything he would show me of the things I’ve asked of him… making me much more interested on the things that interest me… besides… I’d rather find things out for myself, making it more exciting…
The Road That Had Been Less Traveled Have Been Discovered….
People would usually, no… that’s not the right word for it… they “always” laugh whenever they would hear me play my music collection, see me watching my Japanese anime VCD, or listening to my JPOP/JROCK… They would usually say or joke around like “oh’ are we in Japan? I think we’re lost…” or “Can you listen to that type of music? It’s just screaming and shouting and noises, you can’t even understand what the lyrics are…” or they would joke around my JPOP/JROCK music by singing/whistling the tune of Voltes V Opening theme, and laugh… But Things are changing now, local channels are showing some of the Japanese Anime dubbed in our own local language like the “Slam Dunk” which are one of the few that really hits to everyone, even the tricycle drivers are stopping by at some store so they can watch it on TV… Utada Hikaru album been released locally in the country so they know a bit of “JPOP” now… Radio Stations are playing a lot of air plays from “Evanescence” so, now you know some more… and most would know “Metallica” now by their album “St. Anger” and loving them while most of us are already cursing them for they already have lost their own identity. Some Ignorant would think the “The Red Hot Chilli Peppers” are a new band hahaha!… I would play this “Within Temptation” or “Leave’s Eye” music and some who hears would say “Oh’ Evanescence?”! ???? Now, Why don’t you just listen to your favorite OPM music… oh’ by the way… OPM stands for ORIGINAL PINOY MUSIC??? What’s so fucking original with that? I can’t stand some of the music in the Philippines being called or labeled as OPM… I don’t see any originality in it… one of the reasons I hate our local music scenes… I would have like some of it… If it’s not for the title of being labeled as OPM… hmm… Anyway… hate me or anything… It’s the fucking truth… I won’t say anything more as some of you might become interested on things or artist I would say here… waah!!!… Go discover it yourself!
Now, I kinda hate talking to these kinds of people as if they know everything there is to know about a certain topic when they’ve been only walking to this road ‘cause they’ve got a map to follow to… I for one doesn’t claimed to know everything about this road though I’ve been walking on this road for years now, and I’m endlessly discovering newer things and rediscovering the old things… I find it much nicer to walk and have a chat with someone new to this road that had discovered it all on his or her own without some guide map to follow… Besides it’s much nicer having a conversation, when both of you are gaining some knowledge and not just a one way… well, I had to end this now… So…
Who’s laughing now? If It’s Igor, it would be something like “wahehehe!!!”, and Jon would be like “BWaHAHAHAHA!!!”, and I would only be giggling! ‘cause I’m shy you know!

Things to do before you can start your new job at your new company..
Every company required you to complete some requirements before you can start your new job like Medical Check-up, NBI, Police Clearance etc, etc…
I would usually start with the medical check-up, go to some clinic that they, the company asked you to go to, I had to be early so I could be the one of the first to be there and finish the check-up early/fast… not!!! It’ll take you a whole day most of the time, even if you are the first one on the line/list… You had to undergo a lot like drug test, blood sample, urine sample etc. etc… I think you’ll be lucky enough if you had your check up at some clinic ‘cause it’ll be much faster but… If you where told to go to at some hospital, I think it would take you a lot of wasted time especially if that hospital is a government one. You had to do this and that first, get lost somewhere ‘cause the laboratory is at some other floor and when you finally able to find that laboratory, you had to wait some couple of minutes, and another couple of minutes ‘cause the attendant/doctor is still not there or still having his breakfast and chatting a bit with his/her co-workers, laughing and laughing and when he/she finally attend to you as if he/she was a bit not in the mood ‘and a bit harsh talking to you cause you are there and are interrupting their conversation or something, now… What the fuck is that? Aren’t they supposed to be there working? As if they only wanted to hang in there and do nothing for the rest of the day… They would ask you this and that… and your done! Finish in 3-5mins, and the time you waited??? 30 minutes or more… damn it! Then after finishing that, you’ll be asked to go somewhere for the next stage of the medical check-up, and where’s that located? Oh’ it’s on the first floor… And where is that on the first floor? Oh’ just ask someone you see down where it is… ah’ ok, thanks…
And so, you go down the stairs to the first floor, it’s for the drug test and urine sample, a lot of people are already there now ‘cause it’s almost been an hour since you first came in, you had to fall in line now, they’ll give you some papers to fill up for that test… and fall in line after finishing filling it up, waiting… and waiting… for a couple of minutes, and another couple of minutes… it seems like the line hasn’t move for some minutes now… already 30 minutes had past once again… and you look at the window, you see only one attendant attending at all this long line of clients and it keeps on getting longer and noisy ‘cause the others are really getting restless now… and you look at the other corner of the room and you can see the other employees sitting at some table next to the divider of the room, they seems to be laughing, they seems to be having fun with their works… but what are they doing? It looks like they are only sitting and having some conversation there with a cup of coffee in their hands… ah’ finally it’s my turn … This guy gave me a bottle and was being told to fill it up with my urine and after doing that returned it to him and I was asked to return a couple of hours for I still needed to have my picture taken, and I told him if it’s ok if I just gave him a picture I had with me? And he said “no, ‘cause it will be taken from the computer camera”, I see, well do I still need to do something after this drug test, he’ replied, “It’s already finished, we only need to take a picture of you”… WHAT? Return here after a couple of hours just so, I can have my picture taken? And I ask this “why can’t I have my picture taken right now?” And he replied “‘cause no one will take your picture now!”… Now, I was beginning to loose my temper now and I think he noticed that and went to the computer and asked me some questions and finally had my picture taken with the camera attached to the computer and It only took a minute or less than that… It was really a quick one… damn those attendant, they would let me wait a couple of hours when it would only be that quick to do… and so, to the next stage of the medical check-up… uhm… usually it’s the same scenario all over again… before you knew it, you’re already done with the medical and just go home after that ‘cause you won’t be able to finish the other requirements ‘cause it’s already past 2 in the afternoon. It’s much better to do next one in the following day, wake up early and be the first on the line ^_^;
The next one you would probably do is get your NBI or Police clearance… So the next day you wake up early and be at some municipality before it opens up at 8a.m. and “again” be the first one on the line… this is just a breeze, it’ll only take you an hour or so, if you are early… all you need to do is fill up some papers and pass it, had your picture taken… uhm… yes, it’s just a quick one… you just had to wait for this government employee to finish his breakfast at his table while chatting with another co-worker… déjà vu… It feels like I’d seen this one before but I couldn’t seem to remember where? ^_^; Anyway, after having done all the fillings-up of the form and the pictures taking while you hold a number in a small blackboard as if you where some sort of a criminal having your picture taken before you went inside to jail, you had to pay at the cashier, and get the stub from the form and you’ll be asked to return in a week to get your NBI or Police clearance (this apply for the new and renewal)… that would be same day, next week… I see… but wait, don’t just leave yet… there’s a rumor going on about that if you want to get your NBI or Police clearance on that same day, you might want to bribe these so-called government employee working at the municipality, maybe a hundred peso bill or two hundred peso bill? I haven’t done this sort of thing so, I’ll just have to wait for next week before I can get my result… but… I’ve seen some do this kind of thing and it works like magic… They’ve got their NBI or Police Clearance that same day, and all they have to do is pay some extra cash and wait some 15 minutes less or so. Now… It makes me wonder, if they can do that, why do we still need or have to wait for a week? When they can process it immediately? This government employee seems to be bored with their works… and usually they don’t smile, most of the time you can see these so-called government employee somewhat rude as if they are mad at you or something when attending to you… it seems or looks like they are acting like a very uneducated individuals ^_^; like they’ve just been hired ‘cause they’ve got some backers whose very big inside that even if they didn’t finished up their high school or haven’t even finished up their elementary ^_^; oh’ well, maybe it’s just my imagination…
SHOW ME THE MONEY!!! I just remember this Jerry Maguire movie… not related to this subject… ^_^
So, What’s next? Give something or thank the person who helped you gets hired in that company once you start your new job, ‘cause without him/her… I think you won’t even have a slightest chance of being hired in there, especially if you didn’t graduate from the some well-known school… Good luck on your new job! Oh’ it’s only for five months? Well, Good luck anyway! ^_^;

BF???... Mariposa...
A private subdivision which is in BF Parañaque and to be exact or for those who don’t know where it is, it is located in phase 4 near Moscow St. err… It’s already in Las Piñas ^_^;
Now, Mariposa was built in the early 80’s??? I’m not sure about the exact year but I think we moved there around 1984???…. Not sure about that too but we are some of the first family to be there… uhm… you might say we are some of the pioneer of that subdivision along with some of my old friends… There’s a bit of a problem when you are from that subdivision… like for example you get to meet some homeowner’s from the other sector of BF… The first thing they would say or ask when they find out your from mariposa is “hey, is that also a part of BF?, ‘cause you just said BF Mariposa?, I thought it ends in Moscow St.” ^_^; and I would usually reply with this “yup, err… I think ehehe” ^_^; tough!
Some of the times it kind of hurts that somebody would tell you that our subdivision was not part of BF at all, but who can blame them? Before, when we moved there… It was so very nice and peaceful for many years till I went to college… Even if you would to go home at 3am-4am walking the street alone to your house… You wouldn’t feel unsafe, even when you see some people drinking from the other street, ‘cause you know almost everyone or if not, they knows you and wouldn’t bother you… The only thing that would make you unsafe is the story of ghost and the one from your house :P nyahahaha!!!
Then comes the late 90’s, some newly built duplex houses from the other streets, there came a new neighbors to the subdivision… The first week of their stay was not really a good impression to our groups ‘cause both new neighbors from that so called duplex house got into a fight with each others, ah’ such noises these new neighbors of ours makes… as if they already own the whole subdivision… looking tough and always getting into troubles… the duplex house kind of degraded the subdivision quality and these people that are living in that type of house are degrading it more… I don’t have anything against them… and some even became a part of our group one way or another at one time… Though drugs are sometimes the issue of why we stay away from them and couldn’t get along well with the others…
Present time… Some of our friends either moved to other places or others rarely stay at home due to work, other’s are already dead and are somewhere hehehe… I for one, was not staying at home for more than a year or years… I already forgotten how long I had been away from home… You could only see me there if there’s something I need to do like, if some friends would call me and wants me to be there when his birthday comes or my mom wants me home at weekends… something like that… besides that… I don’t bother to be home… there are times that even if there is an occasion or something that I wouldn’t bother to be there…
But whenever I can or doesn’t feel lazy to travel, I’ll be there if I’m really needed to be there… Now, whenever I would get to meet some male/female friends who doesn’t stay there like me… The first thing they would say is “There are so many new faces in this subdivision and it feels like that I’m not from here anymore… as if I’m the one who is new here and they would stare hard at me!”… Yes, that’s the typical words some of us who’s been away for quite sometime or are rarely seen going out of the house due to work. Others who’s been staying there are complaining that the subdivision are a total mess now ‘cause of these so called homeowners from the duplex houses or whatever… As if this guys always wanted trouble, not choosing who to trouble with… Some of my friends already got into trouble with them… One was when he was with his girlfriend and someone told something like “you should leave your boyfriend” something like that… Others would be stared at really hard or makes fun of whenever he/she would buy something from the corner store where one would usually see them hanging at nights…
What about this so called “security guards” from this subdivision? Ah’ you could see them at night riding in their bicycle from time to time… The problem with this security guard is that they don’t even know or cannot tell the difference from a homeowners to a strangers… Me and my next-door childhood friend have been asked by these so-called guards where we live? Hmmm… The last time was just a couple of days ago… during weekends when my friend parked his car in the front of their house (which is next to our house) and we got out… He suddenly came and asked us questions… good thing I’m not that in a bad mood due to some idiot who wants to smash my face for reasons as to now I still have no idea or are still unclear… more on that later…But isn’t it obvious that we lived there?. Looking at just how the way we parked the car and how we got out… How many times had this happened to us? But what really was annoying was that they couldn’t do this to some people… aha! Especially to those people who are hanging out in front of our house making noises and drinking at some late hours of the night… I was wondering as to where are these “SECURITY GUARDS” during that time…. Hmmm.. Let me guess, you are roaming in your sleep at some vacant house? Nope?… One more! One more! Please!…. hmmm… Ah’ you are having a shot of liquor down the subdivision street? Or somewhere… chatting privately at some house maid…^_^;
And now… let me tell you this story about someone wanting my face… remember the vacant house next to our house which is almost like it was demolished for rebuilding or something and the only thing remaining is it’s corner foundation and the rooftop, no walls, lights, waters etc… ah’ how many years had this been abandoned and left alone looking like that by its owner? Hmm… hope somebody can send me a picture of that house so, I could post it in here… Anyway… its not abandoned right now ^_^; and it still is as it is from my description… So, who would be living in this house at its current state? I have no idea… where did this habitant come from? I don’t even recognize or have a picture of the peoples face living in this house… Well, typical me… As I always do… “I mind my own business”…
Well, to make this story long I’ll just have to tell the story much longer hehehe… Last Saturday I went home ‘cause my mom told me to, for I was scheduled to have a check-up on something (weeehh… I won’t tell you what this check-up is all about! :P ) but my doctor is still in the state that day so I was re-scheduled on Wednesday… Anyway… I just do things I would or would normally do, all my friends knows this. Whenever I am home that I would sleep, watch TV, sleep, go to some friends house, sleep, watch TV, sleep, friends, sleep, TV… err… you get the idea… So, I end my Saturday doing that… uhm… tiresome isn’t it? ^_^; Anyway… same goes with my Sunday… except me, Igor and Buboy are to meet at around 8pm to go “Ruins” (located in phase 1) to buy some anime dvd and blank cd-r’s… I was watching this Pirates of the Caribbean-dead man’s chest movie at wowow, and I totally forgot the time until my mom came home from the church… so, I called Buboy’s up and told him to meet us in front of Igor’s house… Buboy is already in front of our house when I came out so, together we waited for Igor in front of our house for he is still dressing up or something… I think he just came out of the shower when I called him… Anyway, we waited outside and had a few conversation of something nonsense until Igor’s came out and we hopped into his car and went to Ruins… now, while we are walking around looking for something to buy, my cell suddenly ring… the number is not registered in my cell, but I still answered the call and it was the wife of Buboy… so I passed the cell to buboy and they talked but due to the noise around us he couldn’t understand a word she said and told her to just send a text message on what she was trying to say and so that’s what she did… And the text message was like this, that I should be careful when we go back to the subdivision and that I should never walk the main gate ‘cause some group that are “VERY DRUNK” and very much angry at me is waiting and want to smash my face… and that they came to Buboy’s place looking for me or something like that… hmmm… Now, we kind of guessed at who was that person? And Igor just laughed and told us that “Ignore the message as it was just probably a joke!”, well, I didn’t ignore it and told buboy to text her wife and asked her who the person is… To my mind I think it was Ronald, who came to visit us and was at Buboy’s place, upon hearing that I was there, He made a prank out of it ^_^; Well, that’s what I was thinking at first… But the following message change the way I think of the situation as it looks like very serious now… It tells that the group of drunks who are looking for me was my next door neighbor… Their reason why they wanted to smash my face was this “that almost every time they would have a drinking session, that I would throw a firecrackers next to them and because of that… they got angry and want to get even with me… for a very long time they have a grudge against me” and my reaction?, same with Igor’… It was “HUH!!!??” We where totally surprised upon knowing that… Igor and I, we where both surprised… First, I don’t like firecrackers, haven’t touched one since I was in high school… even on New Year’s Eve… If we had firecrackers in the house I would tell my mom to just give it to Igor ‘cause I won’t light them up… And I would just watch him as he finished lighting them all up. Even if I can light a firecracker, I still couldn’t do the things they said about my action, as I’m not staying at home for some years now… Besides, I don’t care what you fucking guys do as long as you are not bothering me personally… But since you are doing that now, I’m really irate… And I don’t even know you guys or have a picture of your shitty faces… uhm… Are you guys on drugs or something? It’s nice to have a drink and get drunk but don’t put the liquors in your head. Good thing Paddy’s doesn’t live there anymore or he wouldn’t be quiet on this one… Don’t forget that we are a homeowners unlike you guys… I think you should show some respect for the people who are living in that subdivision… I should say… Show a bit more respect! As if you wanted us, the homeowners to be the one who would bow and respect to you guys whenever we sees you. When you are just a visitor from that subdivision… Even the one you are visiting cannot be called a homeowners… I don’t like to say this… but… I think that you shouldn’t even be hanging out in there or living in that place in the first place, as it is a private subdivision. You guys aren’t a legitimate homeowners at all! All you do is make ruckus all the time whenever you guys gets drunk! The reasons you had against me is laughable! You guys wanted to awaken my sleeping dark side aren’t you?
Now, Whenever someone would mention BF Mariposa to his/her friends who is also from the other sector of BF… They would respond now like this “Ah’ BF Mariposa!, I know that place!” ^_^; hmmm… what could that mean??? Mariposa is getting a lot of recognition nowadays! But why is that we all wanted to leave that place and moved to somewhere else?
Oh’ before I end this… I like to know and ask this… Who are the President and the Security Committee of BF Mariposa now? And the other officials? Where are the BF Security Guards, the one who’s riding in their motorbikes at night? Haven’t seen them for quite sometime now… Anyway… So, Are you from BF Mariposa? ^_^;
Now, Mariposa was built in the early 80’s??? I’m not sure about the exact year but I think we moved there around 1984???…. Not sure about that too but we are some of the first family to be there… uhm… you might say we are some of the pioneer of that subdivision along with some of my old friends… There’s a bit of a problem when you are from that subdivision… like for example you get to meet some homeowner’s from the other sector of BF… The first thing they would say or ask when they find out your from mariposa is “hey, is that also a part of BF?, ‘cause you just said BF Mariposa?, I thought it ends in Moscow St.” ^_^; and I would usually reply with this “yup, err… I think ehehe” ^_^; tough!
Some of the times it kind of hurts that somebody would tell you that our subdivision was not part of BF at all, but who can blame them? Before, when we moved there… It was so very nice and peaceful for many years till I went to college… Even if you would to go home at 3am-4am walking the street alone to your house… You wouldn’t feel unsafe, even when you see some people drinking from the other street, ‘cause you know almost everyone or if not, they knows you and wouldn’t bother you… The only thing that would make you unsafe is the story of ghost and the one from your house :P nyahahaha!!!
Then comes the late 90’s, some newly built duplex houses from the other streets, there came a new neighbors to the subdivision… The first week of their stay was not really a good impression to our groups ‘cause both new neighbors from that so called duplex house got into a fight with each others, ah’ such noises these new neighbors of ours makes… as if they already own the whole subdivision… looking tough and always getting into troubles… the duplex house kind of degraded the subdivision quality and these people that are living in that type of house are degrading it more… I don’t have anything against them… and some even became a part of our group one way or another at one time… Though drugs are sometimes the issue of why we stay away from them and couldn’t get along well with the others…
Present time… Some of our friends either moved to other places or others rarely stay at home due to work, other’s are already dead and are somewhere hehehe… I for one, was not staying at home for more than a year or years… I already forgotten how long I had been away from home… You could only see me there if there’s something I need to do like, if some friends would call me and wants me to be there when his birthday comes or my mom wants me home at weekends… something like that… besides that… I don’t bother to be home… there are times that even if there is an occasion or something that I wouldn’t bother to be there…
But whenever I can or doesn’t feel lazy to travel, I’ll be there if I’m really needed to be there… Now, whenever I would get to meet some male/female friends who doesn’t stay there like me… The first thing they would say is “There are so many new faces in this subdivision and it feels like that I’m not from here anymore… as if I’m the one who is new here and they would stare hard at me!”… Yes, that’s the typical words some of us who’s been away for quite sometime or are rarely seen going out of the house due to work. Others who’s been staying there are complaining that the subdivision are a total mess now ‘cause of these so called homeowners from the duplex houses or whatever… As if this guys always wanted trouble, not choosing who to trouble with… Some of my friends already got into trouble with them… One was when he was with his girlfriend and someone told something like “you should leave your boyfriend” something like that… Others would be stared at really hard or makes fun of whenever he/she would buy something from the corner store where one would usually see them hanging at nights…
What about this so called “security guards” from this subdivision? Ah’ you could see them at night riding in their bicycle from time to time… The problem with this security guard is that they don’t even know or cannot tell the difference from a homeowners to a strangers… Me and my next-door childhood friend have been asked by these so-called guards where we live? Hmmm… The last time was just a couple of days ago… during weekends when my friend parked his car in the front of their house (which is next to our house) and we got out… He suddenly came and asked us questions… good thing I’m not that in a bad mood due to some idiot who wants to smash my face for reasons as to now I still have no idea or are still unclear… more on that later…But isn’t it obvious that we lived there?. Looking at just how the way we parked the car and how we got out… How many times had this happened to us? But what really was annoying was that they couldn’t do this to some people… aha! Especially to those people who are hanging out in front of our house making noises and drinking at some late hours of the night… I was wondering as to where are these “SECURITY GUARDS” during that time…. Hmmm.. Let me guess, you are roaming in your sleep at some vacant house? Nope?… One more! One more! Please!…. hmmm… Ah’ you are having a shot of liquor down the subdivision street? Or somewhere… chatting privately at some house maid…^_^;
And now… let me tell you this story about someone wanting my face… remember the vacant house next to our house which is almost like it was demolished for rebuilding or something and the only thing remaining is it’s corner foundation and the rooftop, no walls, lights, waters etc… ah’ how many years had this been abandoned and left alone looking like that by its owner? Hmm… hope somebody can send me a picture of that house so, I could post it in here… Anyway… its not abandoned right now ^_^; and it still is as it is from my description… So, who would be living in this house at its current state? I have no idea… where did this habitant come from? I don’t even recognize or have a picture of the peoples face living in this house… Well, typical me… As I always do… “I mind my own business”…
Well, to make this story long I’ll just have to tell the story much longer hehehe… Last Saturday I went home ‘cause my mom told me to, for I was scheduled to have a check-up on something (weeehh… I won’t tell you what this check-up is all about! :P ) but my doctor is still in the state that day so I was re-scheduled on Wednesday… Anyway… I just do things I would or would normally do, all my friends knows this. Whenever I am home that I would sleep, watch TV, sleep, go to some friends house, sleep, watch TV, sleep, friends, sleep, TV… err… you get the idea… So, I end my Saturday doing that… uhm… tiresome isn’t it? ^_^; Anyway… same goes with my Sunday… except me, Igor and Buboy are to meet at around 8pm to go “Ruins” (located in phase 1) to buy some anime dvd and blank cd-r’s… I was watching this Pirates of the Caribbean-dead man’s chest movie at wowow, and I totally forgot the time until my mom came home from the church… so, I called Buboy’s up and told him to meet us in front of Igor’s house… Buboy is already in front of our house when I came out so, together we waited for Igor in front of our house for he is still dressing up or something… I think he just came out of the shower when I called him… Anyway, we waited outside and had a few conversation of something nonsense until Igor’s came out and we hopped into his car and went to Ruins… now, while we are walking around looking for something to buy, my cell suddenly ring… the number is not registered in my cell, but I still answered the call and it was the wife of Buboy… so I passed the cell to buboy and they talked but due to the noise around us he couldn’t understand a word she said and told her to just send a text message on what she was trying to say and so that’s what she did… And the text message was like this, that I should be careful when we go back to the subdivision and that I should never walk the main gate ‘cause some group that are “VERY DRUNK” and very much angry at me is waiting and want to smash my face… and that they came to Buboy’s place looking for me or something like that… hmmm… Now, we kind of guessed at who was that person?
