The Story of my Life

"If I could wish for my life to be perfect,
it would be tempting, but I would have to decline,
for life would no longer teach me anything..."

I guess, you already know why.

But don't despair. There's no winner yet. We still have a chance on Sunday...and the pot has grown even bigger...it will be worth P232M on Sunday.

I gotta run! Ciao!

Tournament for A Cause

Posted by Claire |

I would like to take this opportunity to promote this tournament that my MBA friends and I have initiated. This is co-organized by Addictus-SMZ, in cooperation with De La Salle University Professional Schools Inc. (DLSU-PSI), DLSU-Graduate School of Business Student Forum and DLSU-GSB Alumni Association.

The tournament’s main goal is to generate financial support for Jason Tuazon, an MBA friend suffering with end-stage renal disease. Jason has been diagnosed with urethreal tubercolosis in 2005. Late last year, this illness progressed to a stage that required regular dialysis treatments. It will just be a matter of time when Jason will require a Kidney transplant.

We hope that this tournament will encourage others to be part of this undertaking through participation in the tournament or contributions, both financial and in kind.

The tournament will be held on 4 May 2008 at Club 650, Libis. It is expected to be participated by players from various badminton organizations and students from DLSU. Please feel free to leave a message and your contact numbers if you wish to get a copy of the registration form. See poster for more details.

Ang sarap mangarap paminsan-minsan!

Did you hear how big is the Lotto Jackpot now? Last I know, it’s at P194M. Wew! That’s a lot of money.

Do you also remember how I secretly wished I win in the Lotto though I never placed a bet?

Last week, while the whole country was preparing to go on vacation for the Holy Week break, I urged my lunch mates to bet in the Lotto. And so, the conversation about what you’ll do if you win (it was only P185M then) began:

C: If I win, bibigyan ko kayo tig-iisa ng P1,000. Hahahaha.
G: Wag ka nang magpakita sa amin pag nanalo ka.
C: Ikaw G2, anong gagawin mo?
G2: Magtratravel tayong lahat sa Europe! Sagot ko. Magkano ba isa, sabihin nating P400,000 each times 6 pax. P2.4M lang, chicken!!!
I: Grabe no, pag may P185M ka, magleleave ka agad ng 2months. Tapos magtravel ka lang ng mag-travel.
R: Mag-reresign ba kayo pag nanalo kayo?
R2: Oo naman. Mag-reresign na ko!
R: Ako din, mag-frafranchise na lang ako ng Jollibee. Sigurado yun.
C: Ako siguro hindi muna. Sisiguraduhin ko munang okay yung negosyo ko bago ako mag-resign.
G2: Oo nga.
I: Grabe! Pwede ka nang maging individual donor ng opis natin pag nanalo ka!
C: Ako, magpapakasal na kami ni Jerome. Tapos sasabihin ko sa kanya sagot ko na. Pati engagement ring ako na magbabayad, bigyan ko na lang sya ng pera pang bili. Pati kasal ni Kuya, ako na magbabayad. Kahit bukas mismo!
I: Pag madalas kang mag-leave tapos papagalitan ka, sabihin mo sa amo mo, kukuha ka na lang ng reliever mo. Kahit ikaw na magpapasweldo! Hahaha

That afternoon, after all our day dreaming, we marched to the mall and placed our bets. We even agreed that if we lost, we would all wear black the next day to mourn our shattered dreams.

Hirap magpapayat

Posted by Claire |

I did as I promised myself last week. I cut down on slacking and pushed myself to workout. Decided on taking up boxing again as it's been a year since I last wore those gloves. I thought I lost the strength of my punches, but Benjie said I haven't. I hit those mits as hard as I could and in less than 10 minutes, I was perspiring like hell.

On the fourth round, my right fist felt a little sore. It felt worse at every punch so I had Benjie remove the wraps. My knuckles were bruised, some skin peeled off. Benjie immediately took out his bottle of alcohol wanting to pour some on my freshly-made wound. I tried to stop him...begged and cried...but he was so much stronger and I had no choice. So I just settled with screaming and cursing him as he generously poured alcohol. Hindi sya nagtipid sa alcohol...mukhang madaming supply ampotah.

Haaayy...Hirap magpapayat!
