isang gabi kapiling si tita cory

masasabi ko talagang napakaswerte ko dahil kahit papaano nabigyan ako ng pagkakataong makita si tita cory ng malapitan, kahit na nasa kabaong na siya.

tumulak kasi kami ni mama nung martes sa manila cathedral kung saan nakalagak ang mga labi ng dating pangulo. akala namin aabutin lang kami ng 3 oras sa pila. sabi ko naman kakayanin ko ang ganung katagal. iniisip ko lang ang kalagayan ni mama kasi nga me sakit siya sa kanang binti niya.

nung pumunta kami doon, mga alas-singko ng hapon, medyo umiiyak ang langit. me onting ambon. nakikisimpatya din si God mula sa taas.

medyo ready naman ako sa ulan dahil me payong ako. ang pinanghihinayangan ko ay di ko dala yung jacket ko kasi lamigin akong tao.

pagkarating namin sa manila cathedral sumambulat sa akin ang dami ng taong nais makiramay sa mahal na dating pangulo. nabigla ako. dahil kahit nakikita ko sa tv ang dami ng toang pumupunta di ko pa rin maalis na mamangha sa "cory magic" na taglay ng dating pangulo.

una akong nakarating sa manila cathedral nung yumao si cardinal sin. ngayon, nakabalik ako don dahil ke tita cory naman. ang galing. panay ata kamatayan. pero walang masamang kahulugan yun. naisip ko lang yung pagkakaparehas.

eto ang manila cathedral nung dumating kami: madaming media, tao, at payong...

inabot kami ng 8 oras para lang makapasok. sa loob ng 8 oras ng pagpila at pag-antay ay inabutan kami ng ilang serye ng malakas na buhos ng ulan, gulo sa pila, sagutan sa mga sumisingit at nagbalak na sumingit, baha, at pangangatog ng katawan sa sobrang lamig. literal na basang sisiw at sardinas kami dahil sa ulan at sa gitgitan sa daanan.
kahit nagkaganun, ok naman ang kinahinatnan ng aming lakad. nakapasok kami sa manila cathedral ng mga bandang ala-una ng madaling araw.

pinagbawal ang camera at cellphone sa loob. pero, di ako nagpatinag. malaking kasalanan man ito, kahit ito man lang maging remembrance ko na magsisilbing ebidensya na nakapasok ako ok na sa akin. di man kita dito ang mga tao basta nakita ang pinaglalagyan ni tita cory ok na sa akin. patawarin sana ako ni tita cory sa paglabag ko sa pakatarang iyon.




patawarin sana nila ako...

anyways, doon sa loob, maliban ke tita cory nakita ko din si ai ai delas alas at si ms. kris, magkausap yung dalawa. nung tinignan ko si ms. kris bigla niya akong sinabihang "thanks for coming"... nagulat ako dahil sa akin mismo nakatingin. sumagot na lang ako na "condolence po". bahagyang maririnig yung pagsabi nun ni ms. kris sa unang video.

maririnig din sa unang video na sumagot ako ng "ok lang po yun". kausap ko nun yung pamangkin ni ms. kris (di ko lam yung name) pero gwapo siya. :P kaya tumatak sa akin yung mukha niya. para malaman niyo kung sino, siya yung nag-responsorial psalm nung funeral mass ni tita cory kahapon, ay nung wedensday pala.

barely 5 seconds lang yung viewing na ginawa namin ke tita cory. mas matagal pa yung pagpila namin ng ilang oras. pero sa akin worth it na yung 5 seconds na yun. basta nasulyapan ko siya ok na.

nung lumabas na kami ng manila cathedral pumunta na kami dun sa me park nito pero sa gilid lang kami. hinihintay kasi namin yung 2 co-teachers ni ninang loid na nagkataong nakita namin habang nakapila for tita cory. habang hinihintay ni mama yung text, ako naman ay nagpicture-picture sa magandang aura ng manila cathedral sa gabi.

nung pagtawid ko, di ko inaasahan na makita ang isang black suv na ang loob ay si vilma santos. nakita ko siya kasi nasa harap ng van nila ako nung tumatawid ako. saktong nakatingin din sa akin si vilma. nung paglapit ko ke mama saka ko lang naalala na si vilma yun at napasigaw ako ke mama na "ma, si vilma". dahil di marinig ni mama ang sinisigaw ko inulit ko yun hanggang mag-sink-in sa kanya na ang idol niya ang dumaan sa harap namin. di siya makapaniwala.

ilang saglit naman ay may dumaan na isang isuzu navarra (di ko alam kung tama yung brand pero alam ko navarra yung nakalagay sa likod) na me plate no. slr 991. nung nakita ko yung gilid, nakita ko si josh, panganay ni ms. kris. tapos naaninag ko nga si ms. kris. tapos kumaway ako at pabulong na nagsabing "condolence po". feeling ko naman nakita ako ni ms. kris kasi naaninag ko na kumakaway din siya sa akin.

grabe ang gabing iyon. di ko makakalimutan sa buong buhay ko. nakasama ako sa isang mahalagang parte ng kasaysayan ng bansang ito. kahit na wala man ako dun sa mismong libing ni tita cory, kontento na ako na nakapiling ko siya sa huling gabi niya.

tita cory, maraming maraming salamat po sa mga naitulong niyo sa ating bansa. di ko man po kayo naabutan nung naging pangulo kayo, kahit papaano ang mga dhikain niyo ay nananatiling buhay magpahanggang sa ngayon. ngayon na kapiling niyo na ang iyong asawa na si ninoy, nawa'y patuloy niyo po kaming ipagdasala para magkaisa ang buong bayan. ikaw ang nagsilbing ilaw ng buong bansa nung ito'y nalugmok sa kadiliman. ang kulay dilaw na iyong paborito at akin din ay nagkaroon ng panibagong kahulugan para sa mga pilipino: demokrasya. nagsilbing gabay ang iyong liwanag sa nagugulumihanang bansa. maraming maraming salamat po tita cory.

new haven but same old me. ^_^

mood: My Unkymood Punkymood (Unkymoods)

currently listening to: Look Who's Talking by BoA from BoA album

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

good morning people! this blog may not be viewable to other people on the multiply account but i think there will be many peeps who can view this on blooger.

it's my first blog here in my new account. actually it's not my 2nd, it's my 3rd. but i deleted the 2nd one so, it may be called 2.1 account. hahaha!

what's with the new account? to think that i am fine with my first account.

i thought of that before. now i have reasons why i should have a new account.

1st: the username

the time when i opened my first account was during my last days in highschool way back in 2007. at that time, i clearly remembered that i made the first account on our computer laboratory while making some articles for the school paper, the famous asian series that i hooked up to are it started with a kiss (e zuo ju zhi wen) and princess hours (goong). i was thinking badly of the name i'll be using at that time. then i remembered the korean word for princess that was used in princess hours. it sounded like "feigoong", upon watching the dubbed and the subbed versions. at first i was not satisfied and really not sure if it was the real word. but i used it for it really sounded as one.

years had past and i encounterd no problems with the name. but when i checked again the internet and found out the goong manhwa i stumbled upon the fact that it was not "feigoong". it fact, it was "bingoong". that's why eversince i began having thoughts of changing the account. just as i made this account.

the word "sassy" came from the movie "my sassy girl" which was my favorite korean movie of all time. i also associated myself with the word "sassy": impotent, rude, somtimes impolite. somehow true but in a sense it was negative if i use rude. sassy is like more positive in sounds. hehe. :D

2nd: unorganized things with the account

before i kept on uploading music playlists endlessly. most of them are not okey. then some of the pictures don't have dates. i can't retrieve them for the master copies are nowhere to be found. in order to fix everything i thought of having a new account wherein from the beginning it will be organized.

3rd: to keep away from unwanted people

honestly speaking, i've been adding and adding people without any relation with me. i wanted to have an account that's for the people i really know. maybe some of them are not strangers to me but they keep on viewing and viewing every post of mine which really irritates me.

it's not bad to view my posts. but it's unusual for me to have an "avid fan" wherein every post that i make "it" will view it (i'll just use "it" in order to hide the gender).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

so there you are, my first blog in this account.

i might not be that updated with this account until this year ends. i'm preparing this site for year 2010, my 20th year.

gotta make some homeworks now. good morning again! :)

then, i went gaga again for it started with a kiss...

sweet sweet talk 'bout love. :]

sooo much of a fan. <3 <3 <3

i even listed the sweetest confession i've heard. well, in english!

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Xiang Qin: Hey, your turn. Say something.

Zhi Shu: I've nothing to say.

XQ: What do you mean nothing to say? Hey, don't you feel any anticipation?

ZS: Isn't marriange just like that... Two people loving 'till the end, loving so drastically. When they first meet, they are just like a kettle of cold water. You passionately try to heat it up, keep heating it, heat it 'til the water boils and then you'll ask: After that what should we do? All the way 'till marriage everything that should be done has been done. What should be hot has already been overheated. The original kettle full of water has dried up. Love is gone. Wait 'til the kettle is burst, either they break up or struggle on until the bottom of the kettle has a hole. Nothing is left. Love is gone. Kettle is gone. Water is also gone. Everything is gone.

XQ: So you're meaning is that you don't love me? Right? Should've said so earlier.

ZS: The exact opposite. I'll love you more and more. Our water will be kept constantly heated. I'll slowly wait 'til it boils and then keep it warm. Let it always be at boiling point.

XQ: Don't understand...

ZS: Meaning is... I'll keep loving you. Keep loving, keep loving. Keep loving 'til we're old and wrinkled. Is that good enough?

XQ: Yeah, that I understand.

...Original Unsubbed clip...

...Subbed clip...


<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

haha! soooo suweeeet! ^___^

hope that i'll find my zhi shu. the zhi shu who will make our water warm. forever.

hang-over 'to sa it started with a kiss. next stop: they kiss again na! weeeee! ^____^

Farewell to you, Michael.

"There's nothing that can't be done
if we raise our voice as one"


many have witnessed a great memorial service for the undisputed king of pop.

including myself.

i even managed to stay up until 4 am early this morning just to finish the service that the whole world is watching.

some might be soundly asleep. others might be in their own neverlands. but most of the awake ones were with MJ during his service.

i readied myself from the burst of emotions i'll be experiencing at the latter part of the program, being a crybaby i was. but i took it lightly at first. then sunddenly, i myself can't help from not crying to all the hit songs he had sung from the start of his career until his downfall in the mid '90s being sung by great artists of today.

just at the start of the service, i was really not feeling fine for i just realized that we indeed lost a great icon, not just an artist, but a human. a human who was able to crush down the walls of culture differences which no one was able to do aside from him.

i really don't know on what part of the service did i begin to sob, not just cry. i just felt that there are water flowing from my tired eyes. and it really did help with the realizations i have learned while watching his solemn service.

one of those realizations is that every individual is a MJ fan deep in their hearts. not that ultimate fans who can go gaga over their idol, but those that can appreciate his good music and right moves. i really am not a MJ fan as far as i know. but upon watching his service, i began to learn that somehow i was his fan. i tried to imitate his moonwalk, and tried to sing his songs.

second, he indeed had wrote many many songs, some of which i didin't know that they were his. honestly speaking, i really liked "I'll Be There" and "You Are Not Alone" when i was a little girl who loves music. i didn't know their titles, and the lyrics, but i know the songs in my heart. they were used to be played to me by my father and i kept on singing them without knowing the correct lyrics.

just like the other songs that i liked and loved when i was just little, i never got a chance to search for the name of the artist and the title unlike today. that's why when i heard that mariah carey sang "I'll Be there" (with a guy i really can't recognize who), i was in shocked to know that HE INDEED SANG THAT ONE, while being a member of the Jackson 5.

With "You Are Not Alone", i wasn't expecting that he too sang that. i know thatthe singer might be somehow has golden voice to sing like that. i even thought that it might be a girl. but i really didn't expect that it would be him.

with his other hits like "Bad" and "Billy Jean", i know that he sang them but i can't remember the tunes. when i saw ASAP '09 last sunday and they perfromed in that tunes, i jumped in my seat and asked everyone in the house with this statement: Yun ba yon? / Sa kanya ba yon?

before, i was not that struck with the news of his death. now, knowing how big he influenced me, i was speechless. we really indeed loast someone that great.

Berry Gordy, one of his close firends who gave eulogy awhile ago, said that "He is simply... the greatest entertainer ever lived". i agree with that, with all the things he had done for all the charity foundations he had helped, with all the artists he had inspired to hone their crafts, with all the chart-topping hits he had sung, he is trully the greatest.

i noted down some of citations to MJ and i really liked one from Berry Gordy again. "When he did that iconic moonwalk, it was magic!". truly, we were captivated by his magic of dance and music. and i'm sure that no matter what happened, that signature move of his will forever stay, as well as his classic hits.

of all the people who gave speeches to the late King of Pop, i can say that i was really touched from Brooke Shield's, Marlon Jackson's, and of course, Paris Jackson's. i laughed with the whole world with Magic Johnson's. i had many realizations with that of the two pastors (sorry, i forgot the names but theirs were also great).

of all the performances, i cried a lot with Jermain Jackson's Smile. i started crying mildly with Mariah Carey's I'll Be There. but no performances can beat We Are The World and Heal The World as the last songs of the night. i really burst out my emotions while singing with the choir.

MJ, wherever you are, if you're on your own Neverland out there, thank you for the moves and the grooves. Thank you for the beats and the hits. We are trully honored to have someone like you for the past 50 years, although i'm a '90s baby.
