The eagle has landed. Kaso mukhang maya

The eagle has landed. He has some real problem though. He does not know what to say. He has no idea what material to work with in hopes of coming up with a good topic. So the eagle flaps his wings and looks around. Seeing the blue horizon and the green fields filled with helpless prey, he flies around. Still this eagle is lost, he has nothing to tell his peers...nothing about his great experiences chasing snakes and rabbits alike, nothing about the beautiful eaglets hatched from the nearby nests.

Gusto ko na maging daddy. I want to be Papa Paolo or Daddy Pao. Now, first I have to have kids. Great kids at that and an equally great wife. Which, by my latest estimates is not going to be mine in a long time. Well maybe because she does not know it. And perhaps it is not our time. NO, I am talking about a different entity here.

Mukha na ba akong playboy? Huwag niyo po iyan isipin. Naku, that be the last thing on your mind. Minsan, mapagbiro ako...kaso mukhang seryoso dito sa blog. Partially dahil corny ako, at kadalasan ala sa tsempo.

That's the last thing on my mind. At buti naman nahuli ako ni Mau at Clarc nung Friday. Ang isyu ko, kaya mukhang namamadali ako ay dahil wala ako mabuhusan ng love. Anong klaseng love? E di ba andami ko nang minamahal? Tawag nga sa akin sa bahay ay Popo. Tawag sa akin sa CSSP Council ay Papa Bear. Yan daw ang punchline ko: Loveable Papa Bear at Your Service. Hahay! Sana naman Papa dahil ang hotty ko hahah. Pero mukhang dahil malaki ako at sarap higaan kaya natawag akong Papa.

At dahil nga wala akong mabuhusan ng INTIMATE love, wala pa rin makasama sa pag-hibernate si Papa Bear. Si Mama Bear kasi, nawawala e, at palagay ko bulag pa ako para makita ang katotohanan. Everything she does is beautiful. Tis great to see.

Blind item. I'm looking forward to our next meeting. PERO ang catch, matagal pa yun. Sorry to disappoint kung akala niyo kilala ko na siya...INDI PA! ANONYMOUS TO BWAHAHAH! Am enjoying the freedom of seeing things through God's eyes.

But I'm not going to push this. I'm determined to accomplish whatever I have to accomplish before looking around for the one again. I have pre-marital arrangements with family e. Sabi ni ma at pa, the right one, the right heart, the right time. Sa ngayon, may problema ako sa right time part. I love to love, pero darating yan. Pinagdarasal yan, hindi dinadramahan. Pinagsisikapan yan, hindi tinutulugan. Pero now, priorities first. Kung single life ba ang tatahakin ko, let the choice be there. God is the strength of my heart...the song goes...and no di to cheesy!

Ang sama nga lang as it is ironic nang biglang pagtingin ko sa homepage ng Friendster talagang napansin ng mata ko yung birthday section, lalo na yung May 10! Nakanaman ng *#^@!_ a ewan, memories. Ala akong regalo, tatago na lang ako! Joke! The best intentions, I still have and wish I will carry on for her.

Pero what if naging Daddy Popo na ako? Kanina nasa com lab kami nila Grai at Ferdie (ang tambalang pang-pol sci balita extra extra). Napaisip ako at kinilig what if kasama ko ang mga taong may halaga sa buhay ko sa computer shop naghahanap ng mouse? Ano sasabihin nila? Words are still of importance to me.

Kung si mommy: "Popo, eto na lang. Ano ba pinakamura dito?" Haay, mothers talaga!
Kung tropang n8: "Ei gusto namin tong pink na mouse...so bagay sa you faolo!"
Kung siya: "Pao, palagay ko eto na lang. Tingin ko di sasakit kamay mo sa mouse na to, latest hi-tech model ng A4 yan. Save your hands for tickling and helping me bake black forest cake. Oh eto honey, sagot ko na yan..." Argh, darn am good!
Kung ang anak ko na gusto ko pangalanang Daniel Joshua: "Dad, I think we'd be enjoying the latest action game if we use this one. Dad, I like this one. No, I like the cool black one! Dad, can we get both?"
Kung single ako eto sasabihin ko sa sarili ko: "Damn it. Pwede na yung luma!"

Reminder: sa mga close girl friends ko, hwag nyo ko please pagkamalang nanliligaw dahil lang makulit ako. Sus, anong batayan yun? Just think of me as an ever dependable pal who can't lose sight of his cellphone's inbox. Ganun lang talaga ako, siguro tong alma mater ko tindi...exclusive kasi high school ko, so kakasawa mag-upakan dito joke! Tanungin nyo na lang kay Venus, at pati na kay Farrah mga Iskolastikans! Naks!

Sir Arnisson Ortega ng Geog...u know naman pare alma mater natin..aim high pa rin!

The eagle is still soaring high. In the company of many, he thinks well, feels better, lives best.

Maraming nagtatanong sa akin, ano ba balak mo? Sasali ka ba ng ORG(S)? Salamat Mau at Grai. Salamat din Dom. Well eto balak ko next sem as far as UP is concerned.

1.) Ituloy ang work sa Buklod CSSP as EdRes Director. Karirrin ang dapat karirin. Mag RTR, magsulat ng statements, manaliksik, magpromote ng pagbabago. Btw, kung may issues kayo against the party...I know you do, tell me...di ako saradong one-sided, one-perspective, one track mind. Let's set divisions aside shall we?

2.) Maging varsity player kuno ng UP. Sa nagtatanong, opkors ten pin to! Kami ang mga unang mapapahiya este masasabak sa labanan...patutumbahin namin La Salle at Ateneo...ahem! Dito rin ako natuto magpalusot Bwahahah! Joke Noel at James...jok!

3.) CHURCH work in and out UP can NEVER be second place. That is a life's commitment.

4.) Mag pol-sci suicide: mag 110, 150, 185 at 178 with econ 100._ at geog ang sarap! Take the plunge iho, take the plunge!

5.) Karirin ang UNICEF, Volcorps at Pahinungod. I can't think of a better way to enjoy UP-hood than serving for free with people you owe your education to. The best things come free indeed. Sharing these gifts, sharing your smile, what a relief!

6.) Sumali sa mga orgs na palagay ko ay makakatulong ako at HINDI dahil trip ko lang o ang sarap isulat sa resumet at gamiting connection. Wish ko lang. I think a combination of the following would enrich me as a working person: a.) a business/marketing org b.) a Christian org c.)a politics-related org, which does not necessarily translate into a pol sci org...whell, not YET.

e.) I am still banking on the possibility that POL SCI BATCH 07 pushes through with its plans (kahit uugod ugod na tayo mga juniors) of leaving UP with an ORGANIZATION that is both service-oriented, avenue for bonding the batches, and relevant as it is a breakthrough. I am always here should this come around. Eto na nga ba ang pamana ng 07? It's a matter of leaving our comfort zones behind for awhile. Daming di maka-gets nun! Kawawa naman.


YAN, di ko alam if after that, hihinga pa ako. PLans, plans, ala pa yung long-term dyan. Naku, ala pa yung na-iimagine kong kasal, yung reception...syet ano to???!!!

Btw, atat na ako bumili ng album ng Hail kumanta ng Broken Sonnet at The DAy U Said Goodnight. Huli ng mga lyrics ang puso ko. And the beat? Reminds me of old school solid rock meets sentimental ballads. Am looking forward to the latest by Gorillaz..the Feel Good Incorporate Single was great...great opening act for a second effort. COLDPLAY! Atat na rin ako para sa mellow drama ng coldplay...astig!

Moviewise, isa lang masasabi ko...KINGDOM OF HEAVEN! AStig movie magic for epics! Great story rin. Panunuurin ko yan!

The eagle has landed. He has something to say now. A piece of him urges him to speak of plans, of memories. He is now ready to say it...all these.

But a problem remains....EAGLES DON'T TALK..so he has nothing to do but fly away. Perhaps in the camarederie found only in flying, he is able to express by every flap of his wing, what he has to say...and that is better than a thousand words.

God inspire you with your own random thoughts to think of and live by. Come to think of it, every day could be your last. Don't forget to have a say!

wow, pao... heavy...
i understand the "love to fall in love" part. i'm also in that situation. sometimes, we always look for someone who makes our hearts skip and miss a beat. someone who makes us feel wobbly and liquid, like water. if you're feeling that to your may 10 birthday girl, then that's love, man.
