Aming Kalsada, Sana Maayos Na :(

Kailan kaya maayos angaming kalsada, nawala na aming lolo at lola hanggang ngayon kalsada nami'y lubak pa. Ilang mayor na ang nagdaan, ilang kapitan na ang nanungkulan, hanggang ngayon lubak at putikan pa. Talaga bang walang inilaan ang pamahalaan para sa aming barangay? Maraming magsasaka ang umaasa na sana sa lalong madaling panahon ito ay maisaayos na, sana hinaing nila at naming lahat ay dinggin na nila. O baka naman abutin pang kami ay ugod-udog na? Huwag naman sana :(

Sunsilk Expert - Touched Style Blog Contest - Awarding of Winners

Last May 26^th, after the Sunsilk Co-Creation Fashion Week event at MOA Atrium, there was an after party dinner held at Mall of Asia, during the after party, Sunsilk announced the blog contest and how bloggers will win a Lenovo Idealpad and ipod. I fortunately was able to join in Sunsilk Expert- Touched Style Blog contest which was ended on 31^st of May, last minute, I submitted my entry to Hair Experts. After a week or two, there came the announcement of the finalists, I received an email from one of the admin peeps and she told me that I made it yey!! As I have written in one of my posts here, I really wasn’t expecting to win, my purpose is to gain viewers, that is why when I learned that I was one of the finalists, I felt happy and lucky as this was unexpected.

I was lucky that the venue for Sunsilk Expert-Touched Style Blog Contest awarding of winners was at Taste Asia, few walks away from the office as I am working just nearby the mentioned resto, at One E-Com Center yey. Ms. Rona texted me an hour before the awarding started. Since I will be just utilizing the elevator and few of my steps, I left the office ten minutes before 12, it was a lunch awarding though. And as I reached the area, I found one mom and three beautiful ladies including Ms. Rona.

The mom I am referring here is the mother of one of the finalists Paula, she was the early bird, next is me, followed by Ellen Joy Castel, also Paula came in right from her Med class from PLM (and she is my fellow PLMayer too!!) then people from Unilever, led by Carlo and Jem (oh sorry I forgot the rest). The lunch was served. I enjoyed our lunch while conversing with Ellen, Tita Tala and Carlo. By the way, the topic was interesting, it was about a motherhood feeling towards their sons and daughters being in a relationship (I will have a separate post for this one, this really needs a sincere and innate idea).

While we were having our lunch, Arvin and Kessa arrived and joined us eating.

The long wait was over, there came the announcement of winners. Well, all of us were already winners, 5 got home an iPod nano and the lucky winner went home with a Lenovo Idealpad. First blogger called was Ellen Joy Castel, next was Paula, followed by Arvin and the girl Willit, whoa, two more and my name has not been called yet. Finally, my name was called, OMG, I thought it was me hehehe, but I was still very happy. Kessa took home the Lenovo Idealpad, lucky her, a great birthday gift! When we were having our picture taking I was beside Kessa and I felt her whole body shaking, indicating the excitement and how happy she was to be the winner of this contest. I felt her happiness and I was very happy for her! Paula was not able to witness and receive her ipod, she left at 12:30 because she still had a class to attend to.

Till then,

Sa Mga Bagong Luklok

Martes, ika-2 ng Nobyembre, papauwi na ako pabalik ng Maynila. Paglabas ko ng bahay, makarating sa kalsada sa bahay ng Tiya Ellen, huminto ako at naghinaw ng paa, ang mga yao'y lubhang naputikan bunsod ng malakas na ulan. Habang ako'y naglilinis naririnig ko ang usapan ng mga tao doon, ng aking Tiyo Ramon, at ang dalawang bagong halal na konsehal, sina Tiyo Nanding Magkawas at Fidel Garcia. Ang sa wari ko'y pinaguusapan nila ang isang bagong problema sa barangay, as I eavesdropped, ito ay tungkol sa sirang gripo. Narinig kong sinabi ni Tiyo Ramon, pagtulung-tulungan nyo yan, kaya kayo nahalal ay para tulungan ang tao. Na sa tingin ko nama'y talagang ginagawan nila ng paraan para ito ay maresorba.  Pagkatapos ay nagpalitan ng tanong na, magkano kaya ang tangke, so on and so forth.

Isang magandang pahiwatig, nawa ay ipagpatuloy nila ang ganitong gawain para sa ikabubuti ng aming barangay.Sana'y dumating ang araw na ang kalsada naman ang kanilang pagtutuunan ng pansin. Ay naalala ko, nung pauwi kami galing sa Bungoy, kaming lima ng aking inay at mga kapatid at ang aking hipag ay sumakay ng tricycle pauwi, masyadong malubak ang kalsada at mataltal, nasambit ko tuloy sa driver, "dahan dahan po, may buntis dito sa loob", totoo namang may buntis, sa paraan ng pagpapatakbo nya kasi ay halos mauntog kami sa bubong ng tricycle, nadagdag pa ang pagkalubak ng aming kalsada. Hay, ang lubak, tinambakan ng malalaking bato na lalong nagpahirap sa pagpapatakbo, sakit kaya sa pwet, try nyo! Sana, maglaon ay maayos na ng tuluyan ang amin kalsada.

Muli, ang aking pagsaludo sa mga bagong halal na opisyal ng Barangay Cabatang., ipagpatuloy nyo ang madandang gawain...
