icon at war #10

awoo awoo awoo!!! time to gear up for battle girls and for that we need a very ample mode of transportation. we'll be using my fave chariot with a specific route. girls, brush your eyes with the jeepneys on...



route 13C


the route~
there are four routes plying for talamban to downtown(13C, 13B, 62C, 62B) but jeepneys marked 13C seem to populate the road more than the other jeepneys. these jeepneys would travel from tintay, talamban then would make their last stop by the end of colon street, downtown cebu. they will be passing along these landmarks:

1*talamban multipurpose court
2*university of san carlos-talamban campus
3*bright academy/playhouse
4*woodridge international school
5*banilad elementary and night highschool
6*cebu country club
7*banilad town center
8*gaisano countrymall
9*northgate center(mall)
10*university of cebu-banilad campus
11*the crossroads mall(restobars)
12*bureau of internal revenue-banilad office
13*grand majestic, archbishop avenue
14*ayala center cebu/cebu business park
15*asilo de la milagrosa (church)
16*camp sotero cabahug (police station)
17*colegio de la immaculada concepcion (cebu campus)
18*baranggay kamagayan
19*university of the visayas
20*cebu business hotel
21*gaisano metro colon (mall)
22*university of cebu - main campus
23*gaisano south mall
24*cebu city medical center
25*cebu city land transportation office
26*cebu city south bus terminal
27*elizabeth mall
28*asian college of techgnology-main campus
29*landbank of the philippines-p. del rosario office
30*santo rosario church
31*university of san carlos - main campus

after which, 13C will now go straight to m.j. cuenco ave. and pass through ayala access road and ayala business park(14). they will now travel back to tintay, talamban passing only the places listed in 14 to 1.

most 13C jeepneys are of the multicab type.


the legend~
the roads from ayala center cebu until talamban proper are practically "curve-less" and traffic is only heavy during day-time. motorists can burn their wheels and own the road at night but be sure youre not zooming with jeepney's marked with 13C as these guys are slightly bigger than average jeeps and they can also burn their own wheels on the road. they'd make that whistling noise like that of a plane.

and if you happen to ride 13C at night be sure to clip your hair, hold on to both the overhead handbar and to your seat and pray to all the saints that you know.


the pasahero(passenger)~
if you could take a second look at the list above, you'd see that most are academic institutions and malls. which means that a generous number of commuters are the young, the cute, the yummy and often times the funny.

the princess spent more than four years rubbing elbows with these commuters, more than four years of riding with the king of the road and more than four years cute, yummy and often times funny memories inside those 13C jeepneys. sadly the princess has transfered after finishing a course in an ancient training camp(named on the list above) and hasn't been taking that magical and adventure-filled 13C ride as often as she wants...*sniff*

mga pangaral ng isang lasing

kamakailan lang ay napatawag ang prinsesa na makisali sa isang inuman. wa choice ang dalaga, kelangang makisama. lagok, kain, usap, lagok, tawa... pero hindi yon ang istorya.

official jester na si ewg kung may umpukan. hardcore ang tira pero lumalala kung may beer. at bilang isang bading kelangan ko ring matuto ng konting kagaguhan kaya take down notes na ang drama while nag-inuman. owf kowrs, kelangang i-share. mga ka-baro, saguting ang mga sumusunod(gentle jokes lang itu baka di nyo kayanin ang iba):


*ano ang kaibahan ng itlog at balut?

*ano ang kaibahan ng chicken at chick?

parang kapanahunan pa ng ang-tv ang mga hirit na to pero kung lasing na kayo lahat, wa ka choice kundi tumawa kasi nga lasing ka na. gusto nyo nang malaman ang sagot? intermission muna...



ole! eto na...

*ang balot may buhok sa loob at ang sa itlog, nasa labas.

*ang chicken may pakpak, ang chick may pekpek.

--------------------------------

fairygodflower says: weh kung narinig nyo na dati ang joke, tawa na lang kayo...

bitchywitch says: hoy subukan nating maglasing tapos mag flamenco after...tan tan tran tan tan tran...ole! ahahahahay

It is time to get drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk; get drunk without stopping! On wine, on poetry, or on virtue, as you wish.

pulong binisaya - the size of a word

haym vhaak! yey! nasindak lang ng sore throat at lagnat ang prinsesa. pero di yan ang ultimate reason ng silent mode ek-ek ng lola nyo kaya may rebelasyon na mangyayari. pero di pa ngayon ahihihi. matatandaan natin na nag-iwan ng promise si bitchywitch ng isang malaswang entry para sa ipamudmud sa lahat. ready na ba kayo?!... then, get your appetites ready, and your mouths wet.

bitchywitch says: leche, ang halay naman ng introduction! but anyway ladies, i'll go straight to our pulong binisaya. our topic today will be seriously green so let me just shout something...


our entry today contains words that may be disturbing to young or immature minds. read with caution.

oh hayan. may pademure effect pa akong sinali. now that my warning colors are displayed, let's begin. open your legs and look between it, you may touch it if you want. you should know what that is since we will be talking about that.

to a group of people with humongous sense of humor, joking with the genitals would usually hop in to most adult conversation. as a result, appropriate terms have been given to appropriate sizes. yes dear, we name them according to size. i will not include those figurative words that we also use. just the terms that would come up on regular daily adult conversations. are you itching to know? then read on... let's start with the males:

tin-tin (small e.g. babies)
otin/utin (medium e.g. teens)
lagay (large e.g. yours)

females do have their own term with the same trend of naming them:

giti' (small)
bisong (medium)
bilat (large)

so just imagine what would a visayan man think if he is asked by a tagalog lady with "kamusta na ba ang kalagayan mo dyan?" hehehehe and if your lost with which word is for which size, try saying the word and observe how big (or small) you'd open your mouth.

well that's it for now baka ma ban tayo ng mtrcb...charing

fairygodflower says: ahaay mala bombang sumabog ang entry mo day. gudlak sa mtrcb ahihihi

nag meme-ganda

*6 strange things of princess aries

una(first)
our town legend tells us that my grandfather was born while a mother snake was nursing her hatching eggs in the same house. another version tells us that he was born with a twin - a snake. the phenomenon gave my grandfather and his descendants three unique abilities. (1) we can ward off snakes by simply talking to them or else we can leave them dizzy by spitting at the creature, (2) we are able to smell or feel the presence of snakes and (3) our saliva can heal snakebites and prevent the poison from spreading.

ive seen my father(on a cow) and aunt(on a man) apply their "healing" saliva.

this is a local folklore that i'm proudly part of, though i don't believe much of it. tsk tsk tsk...and to my future ex-husband: wala kang kawala. di ka pwedeng ahasin ng iba nyahaha!

ika-duha(second)
i hate owning any precious stone or metal but i make it up by admiring tribal accents(borluluy). so, i don't own any metal necklace or bracelet, just a box-full of borluluys and i don't mind wearing them on formal occasions. if this is not strange enough for you, at least it is to my mother. image at right, taken today.

ika-tulo(third)
i can talk to myself in yahoo messenger. i find it amusing. you can also try it, just add your own yahoo id on your contact list and start chatting...with yourself. at left is a transcript of a conversation i had a few months ago. click image at left to enlarge.

ika-upat(fourth)
in tradition of mentioning the pubes in meme's like this, let me mention one from me: i have a white one down there. just one strand. sa mga kaibigan kong nagbabasa ng blog ko, wag nyong i-mention to pag nagkita tayo. please.

ika-lima(fifth)
my wounds would leave scars that disappear after a few months or if they don't, the scars would just be too light to be seen. but my pimple scars on my back tell a different story. my pimples leave my skin with scars that won't fade out. luckily, my face only have a few and most of them are on my back...a lot of them. they look like freckles.

ika-unom ug kina-ulahi-an(sixth and last)
i lived for two days without sleep and in between those days i took up two major exams and coordinated a dormitory event. and i did all that with the help of one box(six packs) of extra joss. *sigh* college days.

ow it's time to tag someone.
*jeff this is what i call a meme. make one like this and post it in your blog. try lang walay pugsanay hehe
*palakangbisaya, why not have one, too?
*hoy eutikya! kaw day dili ka ganahan magpost ug ingon ani?

icon at war #9

time to dress up in your torn clothes, ladies. put on ashes in your hair and smear the ugliest make up on your face. face the crowd and start babbling the declamation piece...

Vengeance is not ours, It's God's
Alms, alms, alms. Spare me a piece of bread. Spare me your mercy. I am a child so young, so thin, and so ragged.

Why are you staring at me? With my eyes I cannot see but I know that you are all staring at me. Why are you whispering to one another? Why? Do you know my mother? Do you know my father? Did you know me five years ago? Yes, five years of bitterness have passed. I can still remember the vast happiness mother and I shared with each other. We were very happy indeed.

Suddenly, five loud knocks were heard on the door and a deep silence ensued. Did the cruel Nippon’s discover our peaceful home? Mother ran to Father’s side pleading. “Please, Luis, hide in the cellar, there in the cellar where they cannot find you,” I pulled my father’s arm but he did not move. It seemed as though his feet were glued to the floor. The door went “bang” and before us five ugly beasts came barging in. “Are you Captain Luis Santos?” roared the ugliest of them all. “Yes,” said my father. “You are under arrest,” said one of the beasts. They pulled father roughly away from us. Father was not given a chance to bid us goodbye.

We followed them mile after mile. We were hungry and thirsty. We saw group of Japanese eating. Oh, how our mouths watered seeing the delicious fruits they were eating, Then suddenly, we heard a voice call, “Consuelo……Oscar……Consuelo……Oscar……Consuelo. ……Oscar……” we ran towards the direction of the voice, but it was too late. We saw father hanging on a tree…… dead. Oh, it was terrible. He had been badly beaten before he died……and I cried vengeance, vengeance, vengeance! Everything went black. The next thing I knew I was nursing my poor invalid mother.

One day, we heard the church bell ringing “ding-dong, ding-dong!” It was a sign for us to find a shelter in our hide-out, but I could not leave my invalid mother, I tried to show her the way to the hide-out.

Suddenly, bombs started falling; airplanes were roaring overhead, canyons were firing from everywhere. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Mother was hit. Her legs were shattered into pieces. I took her gently in my arms and cried, “I’ll have vengeance, vengeance!” “No, Oscar. Vengeance, it is God’s,” said mother.

But I cried out vengeance. I was like a pent-up volcano. “Vengeance is mine not the Lord’s”. “No, Oscar. Vengeance is not ours, it’s God’s” these were the words from my mother before she died.

Mother was dead and I was blind. Vengeance is not ours? To forgive is divine but vengeance is sweeter.

That was five years ago, five years…… Alms, alms, alms. Spare me a piece of bread. Spare me your mercy. I am a child so young, so thin, and so ragged. Vengeance is not ours, it is God’s……It’s……God’s……It's...

------------------------------------

performing that declamation piece was once my high school dream. but the buds of my stage-skills weren't in full bloom at that time. so the dream wasn't realized.*sigh*

until now, this literary piece is still the main reason why i'd want to see myself beg, cry and shout someday on a stage.

...ikaliligaya kong magpakabaliw sa harap ng maraming tao kahit minsan lang...bow.

fairygodflower says: sigurado ka prinsesa?...magsusuot ka ng sako, buhusan ng putik at humarap sa tao?

bitchywitch says: hanokavah! kaya nga nyang magsisigaw sa kalye at magtinda ng balut nang tanghaling tapat habang nka spandex...yan pa?!

otap of the world

otap is an oval biscuit made of flour, sugar, shortening and the ever reliable coconut. Sprinkled with sugar, a careless bite of this fragile biscuit would send fragments of it flying to the floor. But it is not as scary as it sounds; though one have to admit that eating otap is an art by itself. Little children are often told to be careful when eating it, they are supposed to put one hand under their chin to catch the sugar and fragments that might break off from its thin mass. Even adults have to master the art themselves; careful to inhale a little at every bite to ensure no bits of sugar goes astray. The use of the other hand still proves useful at times, if only to avoid the ants from feasting upon the fragments on the floor; which would be a waste of treat. That, my friends, makes eating otap one adventurous eating experience.


-------------------------------------
at nagtatanong kayo kung bakit napunta tayo sa otap?

kamakailan lang ay nagkaroon ng "unannounced" event sa syudad. isang matalinghaga at katakam-takam na tanawin ang inilatag ng isang lokal na bakeshop sa harap mismo ng magellan's cross noong umaga ng ika-anim na araw ng agosto hanggang sa ikapito. inihanda ito sa kasagsagan ng "festival of festivals" na inilunsad ni goberndadora gwen garcia. hindi ko lang alam ko may kinalaman ang gobernadora nito o sadyang may sayad ang may-ari ng bakeshop.

naglatag ang bakeshop na ito ng isang di kilalang simbolo na gawa sa otap. oo, mga kafateed. otap, ung local biscuit na sinsabi ko sa itaas. biscuit ito pero ni isa man lang ay walang lumapit para kumain...ching!

di na naitanong kung sino ang bakeshop na yun pero feeling ko kagagawan ito ng 'la fortuna bakeshop'

--------------------------------------

a local bakeshop uniquely displayed otap - a local delicacy last weekend. they formed an unknown symbol, probably another sponsor, occupying about two parking spaces. the event was done in front of the magellan's shrine. this is part of the cebu province charter day celebration. pictures below.




update: the event was a participation of the local bakeshop for the cebu province's 438th charter day(not cebu city)
----------------------------------------

fairygodflower says: ay how inspiring ang tourism effort...palakpakan!

bitchywitch says: dapat gayahin to ng davao city. maglatag sila ng daan-daang durian sa plaza...charing!

it reminds me of crop circles!

thy brother's keeper

rewind: sunday; july 29, 2007 afternoon

my brother tj, the squire of nightingale, was itching to have me see his girlfriend since highschool. after several attempts to fit in my hectic royal celebrity schedule, he finally had the chance last sunday. told that he'd be coming after i attend mass.

on sms...

squire tj: manoy, naa na ka sa imong room? we're on our way.

princess aries: naa. ok.

after several minutes. knocks on door.
squire tj: hi manoy. si (name of lady)...(pulls a slim lady inside the room)

princess aries: ola! ohaiyou guzaimas!(delivered with a miss universe hand wave)

so there was a chitchat for around thirty minutes and tj escorted the lady out after that. he came back to me wearing that happy smile i'd want to see on my future child(who knows). then he asked me a question i find hard to answer.

squire tj: manoy was she ok? gwapa di ba?

princess aries: ay ambot nimo. ok ra man.


i would not dare answer the question. even if the lady was prim, proper and a fine example of a boholana. i just did not expect he would ask me that question. i didn't thought that i was being looked up as an authorized figure to tell if a girl was a good pair for him. i'm not good at that...for now. na shock lang ang lola nyo.

what i can tell is that he was happy that someone, other than my father, did not spoke ill to their relationship. from what he told me, there were rocks that they had to break and that they had to keep their amour locked up. one of those "rocks" were none other than a woman who calls herself our mother.

second rewind: tj's highschool years

mother knew about my brother's relationship and she had warned him to break their ties and just be friends. i didn't know if brother followed her but apparently it wasn't just a private warning. mother talked to his teachers after a campus event diplomatically requesting them to have his tisoy son watched, guarded and that she didn't want any girl around him.

brother was a top performer in class and he'd get invited for off-campus events. but after their relationship was made known to our mater dolorosa by the message of an unkown angel, he never got a signed parent's waiver and an approval to travel. she feared that 'girlfriend' would also get invited together with brother and 'something' might happen.

flash forward to present:

brother and his girlfriend are both in the city as of now. away from any parental eyes. so, the best of luck to them.

i still have another baby brother back home. someday i'd want to see us together ev moment. they are a few people who applauds my colors. they are two of the few boys i'den for a brief want to see walk away from me into another lady's caring hands...well not now but someday. as for me, i'm just happy to have these two boys...feeling mother ang bakla!

*brother is housed in an on-campus dorm in the city suburb, so we don't see each other much even if we're on the same city.

----------------------------------------------

fairygodflower says: ano toh? drama galore?! sistah can you break that drama spell, please.

bitchywitch says: ay sis di ko kaya, parang i can't. i'm on my monthly period...penge naman ng napkin, yung may wings and anti-leak channels...

one can be a brother only in something. Where there is no tie that binds men, men are not united but merely lined up.
