ANNOUNCEMENT: Say bye bye TMEX

Just so you know, that the Tamed Monster Exhibit will no longer exist in this blog! Get real! I'm not saint, but not all the time a sinner. Just a normal Juana going through a rough phase in life.

Wish me luck..

Can't wait to hit the beach..let me breath

Ed, and I were so kati of going to the beach, I need to include my college friends from PIYU who'm I spent my Sagada valentines date.

Daming plano, walang natutuloy... tsk..

Due to excessive need for traveling and unwinding, I decided to join a couple and run away from here.. fast!

We need to finalize our leaves-check.
Budget- check.. this is not  a problem with  ED
IT- EX- bahala na, kung saan nalang dalhin ng paa
Fare- EX! will go later at Florida and reserve three seats
Accommodation- EX, until we finalize the fare and schedule
Sino-sino? Just the three of us, Ed, Merv and I.. This doesn't matter, we three have same wave length (got this from someone)
Where to go?  the original plan is Bohol, all is settled until we found out the airfare would cost us 6,500k one way. NO WAY! edi sana nag Singapore nlang ako. Then Ed, so willingly showing me the tour packages, literally bringing his lappy at my station as I was so busy drooling over some quality issues we are facing right now.

Cha said - "so saan na?" while holding my phone ( the person on the other line, doesn't like the idea of multitasking) so I moughted my question instead to Ed instead.

Ed: Bantayan, Palawan, Davao? kahet saan! (with a look on his face, so determined to get the hell out of Manila)

Cha-( moughting her words again) Tangna kahet saan GOW ako!


at last we agreed to go to Pagudpod, Ilocos Norte, road tripping and advance bday celebration.

Just sharing Tarsier can smile pala hehe so cute

Disisyon paalala ni Ron

2:46 ng madaling araw, sa gitna ng pagbabasa ko ng blog ni Christian ng Lakad Pilipinas ay nag pop-up and isang Facebook message mula sa isang kaibigan.  Isang unsolicited advice. Ika niya " Basta Cha ingat lang sa mga disiyong gagawin mu ha?". Natuwa naman ako at nagpasalamat dahil sa kalayuan ay may mga kaibigang dumadamay at may pakealam.

Disisyon:  Sa araw araw na nilikha ng Diyos ay may mga disiyon tayong kailangan at dapat gawin. Bilang tao, tayo ay binigyan ng malayang kaisipan upang gawin ang ating nais at naayon sa ating kagustuhan. (siryoso, hindi bagay). May mga disiyong padaos-daos (biglaan), may mga mabilisan, mayroon din namang matagal na pinagiisipan, may tama at kung minsan ay may mali din naman.

Anu nga ba ang mga hakbang na kailangang gawin upang maging kanais-nais at pabor ang ating mga disisyon? Kung naimbento lang and reset  button na kagaya ng nasa computer, mp3 player at psp games malamang pudpod ang reset button  ng buhay ko. lolz (this is partly true and partly not). Quoting Hill Martinez.

Paano nga kaya kung mayroong reset button? Siguro mas magulo, mas labo-labo ang buhay ng tao. Kaya nga may tinatawag na accountability. Sa madaling salita, "kung ginanawa mu, kailangan panindigan mu". Maganda man o panget ang kinalabasan ng isang disisyon, sa bandang huli it's the decision maker who would always come out responsible (wheeew)

Side comment- ang kulit ng kapatid ko na nasa Dubai, chat ng chat hhmmf..

Tanung lang, bakit ba hndi pwedeng gamitan ng dice? o kaya slot machine, o kaya ang paboritong laro na "Bato-bato-pic"?... may naalala tuloy ako mmmhhff!!

dahil dyan tinamad na ako..

kabwanan

Anu nga ba ang nagaganap kapag bilog ang buwan?

1. Lumalabas ang mga multo, enkanto at lamang lupa?
2. Dumadami ang isda sa dagat- tuwangtuwa ang mga mangingisda?
3. Nag tatransform ang mga mananagal?
4. Umamalulung ang mga Lobo?
5. Isa ba itong phenomenon? hindi naman siguro.. ang tanga ko!
6. May kinakasal na diwata? hala saan nanggaling yun?

Sa bandang kalayuan

 Pasmado

Nasakto mu!

Pix elated nga lang (parang mali ang spelling)

Basta ang alam ko maganda ang buwan kagabe 3.19.2011 

where do broken hearts go?

On our way to Tere's abode, a familiar song played.. We were at the cab. "Where do broken hearts go" Whitney Houston. I didn't noticed it cuz my mind is floating and my back is numbing with pain after 5 hrs of tattoo session.

, Tere answered the question via FB post; Where do broken hearts go?

 "they go to a tattoo parlor" quote-unquote from TereB.

Printscreen from FB ( this is how I document)

13 hrs earlier we're at Marikina getting my first tat

14 hrs back we were at LRT2 bound to Katipunan, eating siomai cuz we don't change to get tickets

15 hrs prior we're at SM Sanlazaro.. 

20 hrs back I was texting Tere to accompany me going to Marikina and sharing my design over FB

23 hrs backwards, I was googling what design suits me

25 hrs in the past I decided to get a tattoo and felt that it's about time to get one

That's how fast I make decisions, some I regret, some I don't, some I'm happy, some some some 

Dandre- Tattoo artist, father, husband and reggae lover-- by his looks

Here the thing, he's my brothers' artist so as my ex and my brother's friend

I texted my brother asking for his number, he never wanted to give details about Dan for he knows I always wanted to get my tattoo done by him. Happily  he did.. I called Dan and ask if he's at Galera, by the way, that's where he hangs out during summer, henna tattoo (for the weak) and a real tat for the real man.

You know what they say: REAL MEN, TAKES PAIN

Henna are for gays lol (no offence, I love the 3rd sex)

So off we go, we met at SM Sanlazaro, the most convenient place for us both, it'll take like 15 min as I call it isang kembot to reach it.

Boarding LRT1 and LRT2, It has been years since I ride the line2 train,didn't even know how to buy tickets, funny thing is Tere has no clue too.. It just all came to me when I saw long line of peeps, standing in front of the machine with a poster glued in it saying "COINS ONLY" 

Now I remembered. Shoot!, I peeked at my wallet and all I got are the "Bayanis" that's how I call my money. Meaning Wala akong barya!. Tere took out two five peso coins. I think I took out eight. So we went to the nearest stall "Master Siomai"  and ordered 2. Manong gave me two twenty peso bill, what the hell, we needed the exact amount for the train. I almost got pissed off with kuya as I asked him "wala bang barya?" he turned to his drawer and let me see that all he got are few coins, damn!

I've had so much drama in my like so and the vendor should be thankful that he didn't trigger the alarm. My alarm.

Off to Katipinan, touch down Marikina

Shoe Capital, home of Ondoy

Dan modified my design, I understand, he's an artist and they don't copy designs.. I''m just hoping wala akong kapareha  haha or else... cover up would me gastos and sakit ng katawan combined.

SINO NGA BA ANG MASUKISTA?-- Know your Tagalog

Hindi ko alam kung paanu ko natawag ang sarili ko na isang masukista, wheew (hirap mag tagalog,tae!) Paano at saan ito nagsimula? Kailan nga ba?  Noong kabataan ko ay naging hilig ko ang pag punta sa gym, walang rason kung bakit, gusto ko lang,  Nakikiuso? Malamang! haha. Doon ata nagsimula, mas masakit sa katawan, mas masaya. Mas hirap ka, mas nakakatuwa. Nakakaadik kung baga.

Bakit nga ba nagbabayad ako ng mahal  para masaktan? lahat ba ng saket ay itinuturing  na kabayaran? weh?!

So ayun.. Sinubukan ko din ang Boxing, sa Elorde Maceda, masakit din cia haha. Trekking,- masakit sa legs at sa katawan, Running pag walang streching masakit din.  Dahil sa kahiligan kong maghanap ng sakit ng katawan isang araw umuwi ako ng tatuan. OUCHIE  sabi ni Besty (Seres Binay). OO masakit. eto ang pruweba.

Nagkamali ang tag line

"Sinaktan mu ako kuya" ika ko kay Dan 

may pinaghugutan tsk tsk

Phoenixation-Big, Bold and Beautiful

Below are random photos I posted days back after having my tattoo done. I'm so lazy making a blog abut it, good thing TereB did hers, that would mean I don't have to exert much effort making this blog look and feel good.

Pardon me for not making the photos appear in sequence, just bear with it

Needles: 5,7,15.

Since this was my first tat, I have no effing idea bout needle count, but what I know and felt is true, the higher the count, the more pain it'll give.
