Congratulations Sister

My sister next to me Dale has graduated from her Associates Degree in Graphic Art Design in Wood Tobe-Coburn School. The commencement was held in The New York Society for Ethical Culture @ 3 o’clock pm. The place was cozy and small but guess the important thing in that day was the ceremony graduates.

Everyone that I know that goes in WTCS school was dress up nicely and it was my first time seeing this “childish professionals” in a nice outfits. Nancy was dressed up with cute pink halter floral dress, Norma’s was dressing up with a black vintage kind of cocktail dress, and Moshie and Luise was dressing up neat and manly. There are also others that dress up like they have a ball to go. I mean they have this dress sweeping on the floor. It’s kind of too much because it does not look good with a toga on it.  But, it’s their day, what can we do.

At the graduation even though I was shy, I still manage to get over with it because if I’m not gonna step up and go at the front to take picture of my sister, she wont have any remembrance at all. I faced my fear and started acting as a grown up. I was my sister’s photographer. I was the only one there because our parents had not arrived, yet.

Whenever my sister walked on the stage I immediately go at the front and took her pictures. My sister received a gold medal for being the 1st honor student from her major. She gained the highest GPA among her classmates. 3.94 GPA.

After the ceremony, a young girl approached me and said “your dale’s sister, right?” I didn’t know that was Fatima. Fatima was Dale’s and Nancy’s co-worker in the Statue of Liberty, in the Liberty Island. We all now had our picture taken and I was now at the picture because both camera that I before had was now with my Dad and my step MOM. They are the one’s who was taking the picture at the end of the ceremony.

The day will not be completed unless there is dinner feast. So, we went to Red Lobster in Times Square.  We ordered this Lobster meal, and it was so delicious. Myself, and Dale’s had the same kind of dish. We also had this fried calamari for appetizer and New England Clam Chowder Soup, my favorites. Even the dinner was so expensive my dad still allowed us to order anything that we want to eat. As I recall, I think the bill was running to $300, and there were only 4 people that ate.

It was an amazing experience. Every hate was stepped aside and everyone was just having a good time. As if nothing had happen from the previous days.

A week before the graduation, I and my sister went to SOHO in Manhattan to buy a graduation dress for her. Well, of course, it’s her graduation and it is a big deal for me to give my spoiled sister a graduation gift. I pay her dress. We came in this Asian type of boutique, plus the sale, I saw this cute dark purple kind of cocktail dress. It was just $7.00. I mean.. hello.. seven bucks, how cheap was it that it dropped from the store price to this sale price. This little amout to this expensive Asian boutique merchandize? My sister liked the dress, and I matched it with a silver belt to make it more attractive. voualla! master piece!

Making a duet.

It was last night when things went wrong but I’m glad it did. My sister was in my room and she sang along with the song that I played.

The first time i got my guitar, my sister cannot stand and understand the songs that i am playing but then here she is now, sang the song with feelings, with matching closed eyes. Four months already passed by since I’ve been practicing the guitar that I bought to myself last December, as a christmas gift, of course. It has been a while since I had learned to play it yet on and off, but when i got my guitar, i had practice it religiously. I mean, not a day i haven’t held that thing. Everyday, my tiny fingers are all sored, and thick skin, callous, is visible on its tip. “poor tiny ones, it must have been hard for this itty-bitty fingers pressing these six strings, and reaching those far away frets”.

Anyways, as i was typing, she was singing while google-ing in my laptop. then all of a sudden alot of “what if’s” just pops out from her mouth. you know what she said..
what if…
  • we sing as a duet.
  • we record the song that we are playingand singing.
  • we record a video and post it in YouTube.
  • we will practice more: me, in guitar and her in piano.

After hearing all those stuff, I was like. “do you mean it?” squinting my eyes, then she only answered me, “damn yeah”.

well, now i am pushed to practice more and play more guitar. i just felt pity in on my fingers. they don’t look like a girls finger tips anymore. more like a guy. just the FINGER TIPS, OK! NOT THE WHOLE HANDS, JUST FINGER, PHALANGES OR DIGITALIS. :)

We are now looking for a cool songs that we could play together. We found some like, Grow Old With You by Adam Sandler, taken from the movie “The Wedding Singer”, and Love by Matt White. Those are the songs with cool melodies which we are practicing right now. I hope things will come smoothly.

My Apology

I’m sorry po sa mga readers kosmile. It looks like my recent post are all about love and depression. As you all notice I’m so lonely. I’m back being single again. “Yes that’s right! I don’t have boyfriend, we cut our bounds from each other and its final”n.

“Wala na pong taong aaligid aligid sa akin and mag tatanong kung ano na nang yari sa buhay ko kapag wala sila. isa pa wala na ring taong mag-seselos sa pakikipag usap ko sa mga kaibigan ko with opposite sex.”

Well its not really an intention to break up with him. We just let our destiny plan for what it has for the both of us. It is so hard being in a long distance relationship. I think not coping up with the responsibility is the major thing that makes all things worse. I don’t want him to be feel like I’m choking him. I want him naman to be happy. I’m not a selfish person, why will i let myself put on ease knowing that in everything I’m doing hurts him so bad.I would have been a bad person if that will happen. At times nga, I’am having a conversation with myself. But don’t make me wrong. Hindi pa po ako loka-loka. Ay! My bad, hindi pala ako loka-loka. I’m just making myself clear. jMaybe you may think that a have a plans to become retarded. Hindi po ha! straight po yong pag-iisip ko.

Even-though things ends up like this, I’m so happy because I was able to love somebody, unconditionally. Even until now I still love him but kailangan nang mag move on, mag bago ng buhay.

Pag-dating ng umaga may liwanang na kay ganda”, naks naman. Ayoko na ang korny ko na! hehehe!.

And for my sister who always checking up my entries, I’m sorry for making you depress. I know boring na entries ko. But thanks for informing me, though. You are also my reader and my critic.

Sige po sa uulitin, I’ll post some interesting non-sense entries. Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy my non-sense post .

A bad wake up

it was early in the morning. i heard a loud sound. i was terrified, my sister was screaming my name. i startled from sleep. i saw my sister on the stairs, she was crying. she was complaining that she cannot breath and her back is in tremendous pain. At that very moment i asked my cousin to dial 911. i was helpless, i don’t know what to do. all i did is to help my sister to sit on the couch.

i was so worried that what if she hit her spine. that will cause a sever damage to her body. i asked my sister if she can move her lower extremities- her feet, toes, and leg, and as well as her fingers.

i was on the line talking to the operator. i was crying. i can’t even grasp what the operator was telling me to do. i just keep on crying until the paramedics came. we were investigated what really happen.

i went with my sister in the Staten Island University Hospital. i wasn’t change from my pajama’s yet i did went brought my wallet with me.

in the hospital, they gave my sister in pain medication. good thing she was feeling well she can even get her self up the bed even a little bit. while waiting for her medical result me and my sister were ok in the room. talking what really went wrong when she is going down stairs to work.

the indecation in my sister test result is, she fractured her coccyx (tail bone) due to the fall she had. the pressure of the impact from the stairs (3-5 levels).

Happy Birthday Dale

It was my sisters birthday. Family and friends had gathered to celebrate its occasion. I invited some of my friends from work and her too.

Kamila was there, our friend from the Carnival Cruise way back 2004. Meghan, my baby, who i babysit since the fist time I came here in the US was so cute and now is a big girl ans is always at ate Ice’s side. She love my beads collection, where she made a necklace for herself and for her mom. Cynthia, my volleyball colleague had a blast. Big William was so shy but when he started sing in karaoke he enjoyed the night.

We celebrate the gathering with some vodka, tasty Filipino foods and delicacies. Singing, dancing, laughing and competition of McDonald and Wendy’s in singing contest. better luck for the Wendy’s crew next time. We lose only by two points.
The party ended when Richard drop by around 2am. We talk for a while and i let him taste my home made dessert, mango float.
we really had a great time. Thanks for our Dad, he let us do what ever we want in that night. Thanks Dad.



the gang really have fun..
