...do u still remember?

actually just finished dinnertable conversation with my parents and uncle.. was curious of what the yesteryears were like.. actually been thinking about these stuff since early this afternoon pa..

i was tasked by img-davao to do the bpm presentation this afternoon and to give some insights on how times are changing.. i opened some funny-yet-real differences of the past and the present.. when i asked the audience how much was the cheapest fare they could remember someone mentioned P0.10 as in CENTAVOS! heheh it's like P4.00 now-a-days and im still 24years old!!! haha.. and to top it all.. jeepneys which they called Tartanillas that time would drop people off at their doorsteps! haha.. imagine! hahaha... another was the difference of buying-power of the peso.. my uncle would remember P50.00 as the salary of managers.. hehe.. and my dad said the 'beetle' as we call it by Volkswagon was sold at P8,000 hahaha.. not to mention the coins in the past which were really made of silver and bronze! cool!

tapos some gruesome topics about the toilets of before.. haha.. so funny.. sabi pa nila the families would dig up a hole on the ground before and just cover the sides.. tapos lalagyan ng wood on top of the hole which would leave a small square.. just enough for the feces to fall.. yakz! heheh.. tapos one could see what's happening underneath.. hehe.. like the finger-sized worms fattened by the deposits.. yakz!! hahaha... plus since there were no tissue paper.. they would use corn cobs! imagine!!!! yakz yakz yakz! or even wood! hehehe.. well.. there are also leaves around hehehe..

it's quite fun listening to tales of people quite older than ourselves.. i just pity the so-called 'modern' men and women now-a-days who feel they're too busy to sit down and talk to those with more wisdom and matury than us.. they don't know what they're missing.

i do enjoy these talks.. i just hope by putting it on my blog.. those unfortunate enough not to have these family dinner-time talks (i dont blame you guys) would also have some piece of our past.. lahat tayo.. not just my family does / did that.. hehehe..

Today I realize he's gone and I can't do anything about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah I know what people might think as of the moment, majority would say "what?! you're still at it after months?" "tanga tanga mo naman.. tagal mong ma-over!" "It's your fault, iniisip mo kasi always" blah blah blah... but hey, I did not wish for this to happen, neither did I intend for it to linger on for a long time. It is not easy to find a love, but it's more difficult to lose a love. All day today, I was thinking of WHY?!.. went to a Harry Potter movie with my family but thoughts kept coming in my mind.. sa car pa lang I was blaming myself and even my brothers for what was happening to me (It's my fault I am far, it's my brother's fault kung di lang sana nila pinagpalit mga gf nila!, it's my grandfather's fault if he hadn't cheated!).. I'm so horrid, blaming others for the things that are happening to me. But then, I realized how go...

What?! SSS lang?!?!

A funny but understandably innocent situation occured to be last Saturday that truly made me think a lot.... as in A LOT.. I was approaching the elevator on our 14th floor office at Landco when suddenly a bunch of people from the other office was also on their way.. since the building was considered as a 'smart building' hehe.. smart daw coz there aren't any buttons inside the elevator.. what you do is you press the desired floor you'd like to go to on the outside then the elevator screen shows you which door you are assigned, which then would take you to your desired floor.. hayy haba! Anyways Elevator C is the dreaded door since it's always stuck, rarely is running properly plus there are fears of being stranded because of it's MOODS hehehe.. as we call it. Now to make the long story short.. we were assigned to elevator C and one could hear shrieks and ayyy's of some people knowing we would be using the dreaded elevator.. plus there were qualms of death! ...
