We are BGK

We have one goal
We have the same passion
We have camaraderie
because We are a barangay

We have thrones and gold
We have ships and warriors
We have people to reign
because We are Kings

We never say we’ll quit
We never say we’ll lose
We never say we’ll be dumped
because We never say die


We are a united barangay
We are mighty Kings
We never say die
We will win
Because We are Brgy. Ginebra Kings!

You, Who are you?

Because you ARE



You don’t have wings
You don’t have powers
You’re not the Archangel
But…You’re flying gently
You’re faith is powerful
and You’re living the name of Gabriel

You don’t have a White Palace
You don’t have PSG’s
You don’t have a nation to reign
But…You have a first lady and a prince in your own palace
You have fans who support and defend you
and You have a world (basketball) to conquer

You are not the best in shooting
You are not the best in rebound
You are not the best in assists
But…What’s good in being the best at one field,
if You’re good at ALL of those?

Thank God, in this place you came
You reminded how BBB I am
You always put up a nice game
Hope your name be put to fame
Because GABE deserves it,
More than any other name

Choosy Ka Pa?

Isa sa mga patok na social issues of all time ang unemployment. Maraming Pinoy ang walang trabaho— ang iba naghahanap, ang iba nagpapahanap pa at ang iba naghahanap sa wala kasi tinatamad. 


Pero hindi iyan ang point ko. Marami kasing nagsasabing MARAMI NAMANG TRABAHONG PWEDENG PASUKAN, MAPILI LANG TALAGA ANG MGA PINOY...kaya hanggang ngayon marami pa rin ang tambay at taong-bahay.

  
Totoong maraming trabahong available. Kagagaling ko lang sa isang job fair nung isang araw. Ang daming kompanya, may bente (20) siguro yun. Kanya-kanyang gimik para makakuha ng applicants— may mga freebies, mass hiring ads, one-day process promos at walang kupas na PR at sales talk. Naisip ko, okay naman ang mga job offers nila pero bakit hindi masyadong kinakagat ng mga applicants? Nagmistulang garage sale sa World Trade Center ang eksena sa job fair na yun. Ang mga employers ang namimilit (hello, trabaho at pera ang inaalok nila) at ang mga applicants pa ang umiiwas (ano ba talaga ang hinahanap niyo?). Baligtad na talaga ang mundo, parang Blizzard lang sa Dairy Queen.
Bakit ba kasi choosy ka pa?

Marami sa atin ang nag-aral sa college para magkaroon ng degree at magandang trabaho (sa field na gusto natin) balang araw. Dalawa, apat o higit pang mga taon ang ating binuno para maka-graduate ng walang singko, drop o back subjects. Ang iba nga, consistent dean’s lister pa o active sa iba-ibang organizations. Subsob na sa pag-aaral at wala na halos social life (example: ako?). Pumili rin tayo ng kanya-kanya nating course at major para makapag-focus tayo sa field na gusto nating pasukin after graduation. Literal na nasunog ang kilay sa hirap pero tiniis natin yun, makatapos lang, makahanap lang ng magandang trabaho balang araw.
Kaya after graduation, namimili tayo ng trabaho ayon na rin sa course na pinagtapusan at sa sariling kagustuhan. TAMA LANG NAMAN YUN.

Pressure.
Kakatapos lang ng graduation ko nung April 4. Mass Communication major in Broadcasting ang course ko. Pinalad akong makakuha ng karangalan at makapagsalita sa stage. Marami ang humanga at abot-abot ang congratulations na natatanggap ko. Heaven ang pakiramdam ko noon. Pero kasunod pala lagi ng paghanga ang expectations (hindi lang ng ibang tao sa akin kundi KO sa sarili KO). “Naku pag-aagawan ka na niyan ng mga kompanya at networks!” Talaga po? Sabik ako sa posibilidad na totoo yun. 

Sinubukan kong mag-apply, inuna ko sa mga tv networks at habang hinihintay ko ang confirmation nila, sinubukan ko muna rin sa ibang ad agencies at publications. May mga nag-text naman at tumawag for exam at interview pero dahil maaga pa naman at sige, dahil choosy pa ako, nag-decide akong hintayin na lang muna ang response ng mga networks. Eto na. Yung isa, no response. Yung isa, kept for reference and wait until 6 months at yung isa: rejected. Not once. Ang sakit dahil ito pala ang hinintay ko. 
Sasabihin ng iba, “okay lang yan, hindi mo pa lang talaga time, marami pang iba jan.” Tama naman sila at alam ko naman yun pero masakit pa rin in the end. May part pa rin na hindi ko matanggap. Bakit yung iba pasok, bakit ako hindi? Bakit ako nagpupuyat at naghihirap mag-apply pero hindi man lang makatikim ng exam o interview invitation? Hindi ko sinasabing hindi rin nagpupuyat at naghihirap ang iba. Kung pareho kaming naghihirap, bakit sila nagbubunga na? 

(btw ang mood ko sa blog post na ito: selfish, defensive and frank) Paki-explain nga sa akin ang ibig sabihin ng ‘right place at the right time’, closed-minded ako ngayon. Haha. Ngayon lang.  

PERO kahit ganun, HINDI KO MAGAWANG MAINIS SA IBA (dahil wala akong karapatan at sapat na dahilan) at HINDI KO RIN MAGAWANG SIRAAN at SUKUAN ang mga tumanggi o hindi PA pumapansin sa akin dahil alam ko sa sarili kong MATAAS PA RIN ANG RESPETO KO SA KANILA. Pangarap ko pa ring magtrabaho para sa kanila kahit ilang rejections o kahit gaano katagal pa man akong maghintay.
Totoo ba?
Sabi nila, advantage daw ang may title sa graduation. Ikaw ang lalapitan ng trabaho at pwedeng big time na agad. Applicable pa ba yun these days? Siguro pwedeng magkatotoo yun pero wala pa ko sa level na yun. Nasa ‘doubtful’ level pa lang ako, “may edge ba talaga ako?” Siguro NAGSASAWA na rin yung mga nagpapayo sa akin na darating din yan, Dianne, in your right time. OA kasi ako at nahihirapan din akong balansehin ang nararamdaman ko ngayon sa dapat ko talagang maramdaman. Mababaw lang ang problema ko kumpara sa world crisis at environmental issues ngayon pero PROBLEMA PA RIN ito.   

CHOOSY.
Balik tayo sa usapang choosy. Likas na sa atin ang maging choosy sa trabaho pero wala akong nakikitang mali doon so far.
Define ‘choosy’ muna — adj.; selective, hard to please, demanding
-          In this article, these are the people who want to work in their chosen field to use their developed abilities.

Marami ngayon, nursing graduates pero sales agents o HRM graduates pero call center agents. Connected ‘di ba? Dalawang bagay lang yan: choice nila yun o wala na silang choice kasi dito sila kikita. In the end, CHOICE PA RIN NILA YUN. 
 

Pero ako, sa tuwing maalala ko lahat ng pinaghirapan at pangarap ko noong college, mas okay na maging choosy ako kasi bakit ka pa kumuha ng majors kung ang papasukan mo pala ay trabahong may ‘any degree’ requirement? Bakit ka pa nag-aral ng production design at technical writing kung magiging cashier ka naman pala? Bakit ka pa nag-aral kung hindi mo naman pala gagamitin balang araw?

Perspective ito ng isang fresh graduate kaya kulang pa sa maturity ang arguments. Marami pang dapat isaalang-alang. Sa hirap ng buhay ngayon, hindi na issue kung connected ba sa course mo ang trabaho mo o hindi pero hangga’t maaari, SUBUKAN NATING I-CONNECT.

Magulong usapan ang issue ng unemployment at paghahanap ng trabaho dahil depende sa tao kung ano ba talaga ang hanap niya: pera, passion o kahit ano lang?
Sana lang maging choosy tayo sa pagpili ng trabaho pero sana alam din natin kung hanggang saan lang tayo at kung may krapatan pa ba tayong maging choosy.

Sana tumunog na ang cell phone ko at mapansin na ang applications ko.
Sana maging tuwid na ulit ang outlook ko sa buhay. HWAITING!

Writer...am I?

“Why did you take Mass Communication?”

“Because since high school, I am a part of our student publication. I love to write.”

‘Yan naman ang lagi kong sagot kasi yan naman ang totoo. Pero hindi siya ganun kadaling panindigan ha? Mahirap.


  
Writing is said to be the hardest to learn among the four areas of learning. First, we need to learn to read, to speak and to listen for us to learn to write. (to + …tss) It also requires more time for it is hard to decode our thoughts and imagination into words. Writing also needs a lot of patience because not everybody like or even understand what we’re writing. It is hard.

Pero bakit ba gusto kong magsulat? Ibig sabihin ba nun magaling na akong makinig, magbasa at magsalita kaya ako sulat ng sulat? HINDI RIN. Kasi kung oo, eh ‘di sana kasing galing na ako nung EIC namin nung high school. Magaling sa grammar, vocabulary at spontaneous talagang magsulat. Eh ‘di sana kasing taba na ng utak ng classmate kong writer yung utak ko. Halos lahat ng bagay alam niya. Eh ‘di sana kasing astig na ako ng pub adviser namin. Sobrang galing niya kaya cool ang dating niya. Pero hindi ako ganung klase ng writer. Mahirap.

I’m a writer whose articles are always revised if not rejected. I always use highfaluting words even they say that it’s better to use simpler words. I often make my compositions longer because I keep on explaining and stressing things again and again. I’m not that good in grammar (can I get better someday?). I’m introverted when our adviser returns my articles because of grammatical errors. “The thought is there but you have to revise it.” It is hard.

Alam ko naman yun. Kahit hindi na sabihin sa akin, alam ko na yun. Ako yung tipo ng manunulat na hindi lumilipat ng pahina, hindi umuunlad kasi wala akong ginagawa para umunlad. Marami akong mga pinapalampas na pagkakataon lalo na ang maging EIC ulit ng isang publication. Sumuko ako noon kasi nararamdaman kong pinipilit ko na lang ang lahat. Mahirap.

There are many factors that hinder me to continue writing. They say that there’s no money in writing. Journalists need to have many raket or other ‘businesses’ in order to earn a living. This is not where I want to be because I dream of being rich someday. Also, writing is not the passion of my new circle of friends in college (yes, a small-minded reason). Yet, influences can also make or break our passion. They say that writing is hard and boring. I said yes it is but deep inside I ask, is really it? I’ve also known as a writer in class but there are my student-writer classmates. They belong to the university pub and I’m not. Who am I to surpass them? Yes, these are insecurities. These are all my nonsense insecurities, I admit. I can’t get over these. It is hard.

Pero mas marami akong dahilan para patuloy na magsulat. Hindi ganun kaganda at kalakas ang boses ko at medyo mahiyain akong humarap sa maraming tao kaya sa pagsusulat ko idinadaan ang lahat. Dito ako nakakapaglabas ng saloobin, ng galit at ng saya. Dito ko napapatunayan na ginagamit ko ang aking utak sa pag-iisip at dito ako nagiging kuntento at komportable. Dito ko nasasabi lahat ng ayaw bigkasin ng matabil kong dila, lahat ng naririnig ng aking matatalas ng mga tenga, lahat ng nakikita ng mga malilinaw kong mata, lahat ng nadarama ng makapal kong balat, lahat ng naaamoy ng maselan kong ilong at lahat ng gustong ilabas ng barado ko na atang puso. Pati ang pagiging bitter at korni ko gaya ngayon, dito lahat lumalabas sa pagsusulat. Pwede na nga akong maging pipi pero naisip ko, ayoko nga. Mahirap.

I think only real writers can appreciate good works and excellent writers. I salute the journalists. Even if they do not earn a decent living and their lives are put into danger in this profession, they still write truthfully and relay these to and for the people (hope that they all belong to one species). More than a job, it is a vocation. It is a real passion. Also, hands down to all the scriptwriters/researchers of TV series, movies and ads because they are unsung heroes! Actors are nothing in a series without good material/story and these are all products of the brilliant ideas of the writers. They can make dumb people turn into geniuses and they can really make the viewers think (twice or even thrice). It is hard!

Ako, kahit ano pang sabihin ng iba, alam ko sa sarili kong writer ako at paninindigan ko yun. Iba kasi ang pakiramdam kapag nakita mong nai-publish na rin sa wakas ang pinagpupuyatan mong article. Iba ang saya kapag nabasa ng ibang tao ang sinulat mo at bonus na lang kapag nagustuhan nila yun. Achievement na yun kapag kilala ka nila na isang writer. Hindi lang dahil alam nilang mahirap magsulat kundi dahil alam nilang may lakas ako ng loob at mahabang pasensya na ibahagi ang aking imahinasyon, karanasan at talento sa pagsusulat.


Mahirap magsulat? Sus, sinasabi mo lang yan, isulat mo kaya? Oo, HINDI madaling magsulat pero hindi rin naman sobrang hirap. Ako, inaamin kong naiiba ako, hindi ako pangkaraniwan at weird ako kasi I AM…a WRITER. Ikaw ba?

SINGLE NOW

DISCLAIMER: This is written using the first person because I AM single but it is not a real story.
This is one of my unpublished articles (a year ago). The title, ‘Single Now’ is a present situation for me for the last 19 years. Must I be happy? Sad? Confused? Delighted? Worried? I guess I’ve felt all these feelings and until now, I don’t know what to do or must I do something? I just know that I’m…

SINGLE NOW…

Living my teenage years, I am always suffocated by the saying ‘being single is a choice’, is really it? Then someone gave me a more hopeful advice that love will come at the right time. As I guess that the magic number is 18 (licensed to love?), I have waited since then.
Today is my 18th birthday. I did not request for any celebration because I want and am expecting that today would be magical in its own way. It started ah, good. My family and friends greeted me, some with gifts and some are still economical but hey, my birthday will be over after few hours and still no sign of having a love life? Hmm…

Where is the magic and what happen to my right time? As David Blaine shouted abra cadabra, my hope disappeared together with his bird, hanky, flowers, blah blah blah. I guess it’s another wrong belief and failed expectation. 

Honestly, waiting for my debut (18th birthday) is one of my many excuses for being single—it leaves me hoping to have fallen in love until now. As I mean ‘many’, this excuse is now over together with my I’m-busy-with-my-studies defense, my-parents-will-get-angry alibi and I-don’t-need-him reason. These are all over. 
I did get my right time and WHO HAS IT by the way? Instead of being paranoid to have a boyfriend or maybe just a fling, I now have a new perspective in life and I errr, believe it is right, BEING SINGLE IS A CHOICE and IT IS my choice now.

I choose to be a hardworking student ever since, a helpful friend and a loving daughter to my family. I choose to be the happy-yet-simple-and-dull-youngest-widow as they call me. 
 
I choose to be away from boys because I grew up with their teases. I thought that they are too loud and bad-mannered before finding out that even the naughtiest boy in this world has his soft side. I choose to be like this and I must stand for it. 

Being single gives us a lot of opportunities. We can concentrate with our studies and bring in gold after it. We can pursue our talents and develop our skills and gather praises from these.  We can hunt for guys around the campus and vision of kisses from them. We can go out and have no one to limit us (except for ‘protective’ pops and moms). We can be free.

Being single, yes I am aware, also hinders us to experience the blissful side of being in each other’s arms. After school, no one will accompany us to go home. After our performance, no one will have the biggest hands for us. When in need of a perfect kiss, no other campus heartthrobs are willing to give us theirs. In going out, no one will dance with us.
 
 I know another point of being single is actually BEING ALONE. Of course family and friends will be there but having ‘the one’ is another story. It is a choice, I must not regret this, I must not and hopefully, I will not.

As for girls, we find it unfair especially with the kind of culture we have here in the PI that boys are the ones who get to choose the girl then make the first move. Girls will have to wait and wait if there will be a guy in this world who will like AND COURT THEM— lucky for those who are gifted (physically), they have dozens. 

BOYS’ DEFENSE: It is also hard to like someone then court and the more courtships they have attempted means the more relationships they have failed to sustain.

They have a point in here and yes, girls could also make the first move especially now that we are living our liberated lives. However, boys will find it awkward and too aggressive, it is unfair.

Girls usually love first; we just have to hide it to preserve an unblemished image (which is rare today). We do not need a charming prince in his white horse, a simple guy with a sincere intention is better. For some girls, even anyone with an intention (good OR bad) will do. Tssss. 
 A larger percentage of girls dream of having a fairy tale love story and as we wake up, REALITY CHECK: we are single.

It is true, being single is a choice BECAUSE WE HAVE NOTHING TO CHOOSE FROM. We are just accepting the truth and trying to make our lives fruitful because this is the way we should do so.

Besides, the choice of being single is not permanent, we just came up with this decision to continue living our lives and fulfilling our dreams so that when the right time finally come, we will not regret ONCE WE CHOOSE  TO BE SINGLE and we HAVE succeeded. We have succeeded because we fought against loneliness and WE EMBRACED EVERY OPPORTUNITY that showed up. 
We can never tell when our love story will unfold but waiting is not just our way out, it is our decision to CONTINUE LIVING AND LOVING OUR LIVES. Who knows, we are single now…but may begin dating the next day. :)))


So that’s it! Yes, I’m more of a bitter-desperate writer here. Hahahaha. I guess it’s because I’m surrounded with those who have “In a relationship” status on Facebook (friends, cousins: most of them are taken). Yet sometimes, I’m glad because being single means I’M FREE.
  I want to believe that being single leads the person to be free rather than to be alone.

MD: Mahal kong Dudes! :)

Uso na ang mga mahahabang messages sa Nomad Group… Bye! Thank You! See you soon! Papahuli ba naman ako? Haha.

Almost two years akong naging MD dudette at aaminin ko, nahirapan akong makibagay nung una. “Bakit sila nagtatawanan, ano bang nakakatawa?” Kaya pinili ko na lang na tumahimik, umattend sa meetings kung kailangan at sumunod sa mga utos. Nitong huli na lang saka ko naisip “Ahhh…nakakatawa naman pala kaya sila tumatawa…HAHAHA” Nitong huli na lang saka ko naisip kung gaano ko kamahal ang pamilyang ‘to at kung gaano ang mawawala sa akin kapag hindi ko na sila makakasama. Bakit ngayon lang?


Memorable Experiences:

  • QEFF SHOOTING— dito ko nakilala ang tunay na MD dudes— maloko, magulo, masayang kasama pero hanep, magaling talaga at professional kaya proud akong maging kasama sa prod na ‘to kahit Head of Props lang ako. Hehe.

Haha.








  • LAST G.A. (April 12, 2011)— lahat naman ng meetings, screenings, renewals at general assemblies masaya pero dito talaaga sa G.A. na ito ako naiiyak at natatawa tuwing maaalala ko. Sa Best in Math award ni Sir R, sa Best in Grammar award ni Pachu (do’s and don’t haha jk!), sa Inseparable award namin ni Cam, sa Most Creative (Sir R) at Brainiest (Elo) awards ko (nahiya naman ako), sa makabag-damdaming message ni sir kay EP’s, sa masarap na food, sa sobrang ikling speech ni Phina, sa AVP ko (salamat Erisse at Chan, the best kayo!) at sa tawanan, iyakan at alaala— mamimiss kong lahat yun!

  • YNNA— ang baby girl ng MD pero tandaan mo, you need to be strong and mature enough to be the next big sister of MD. Good luck Ynna! Fighting! 

  • ZET— nung una taray na taray ako sa yo hehe pero slowly nalaman kong mataray ka naman pala talaga haha. Jk! Sweet at very thoughtful ka talaga Zet! Salamat! Isa kang tunay na leader at four thumbs up ako sa creative at technical abilities mo. MD-caliber ka talaga! Wag ka lang masyadong papahalata kapag kinikilig ka haha.

  • RJ— dati nagtataka ako kung bakit gusto ni Sir R na maging MD ka, ngayon mas magtataka ako kung hindi ka naging MD. Galing mo pare grabe! Haha. Hands down! Patunayan mong tamang pinaglaban ko, namin ang position mo. Good luck, kaya mo yan! YEA!

  • SIR RR— ano pa po bang mahihiling ko for you eh perfect ka na? hahaha. Lovelife na lang siguro. Sir, it’s time na! Baka ma-late ka na niyan? Hehe. Kaya siguro maraming nagsasabing paano na ang MD kung wala ka dahil ikaw ang ugat ng lahat sir. Sabihin na natin nasa core staff naman ang power at will pero ikaw pa din sir ang tie that bonds the org kahit bali-baligtarin man natin ang sitwasyon. (Sorry naman mixed language ito hehe) Thank you and I’ll never forget to keep in touch! 
  • MAM NINA-- Thanks mam for being our mentor. We've really learned a lot from you! Take care always! and see you soon! :)

Dudes, hinding-hindi ko kayo makakalimutan! Sana ako din sa inyo. Mas matutuwa ako kung guguluhin at hihingan niyo pa din ako ng favor from time to time. Organizational concerns man o kahit tungkol sa assignments, projects o thesis, go lang! Haha. Okay? 
 

Sana maalala niyo ko hindi bilang Head Researcher lang na may alam, sana maalala niyo ko bilang kalog, baliw, banatera, at approachable na si Dianne.
parang negative pa lang to, wala pa yung pic mismo haha
Dudes, maraming nagsasabing palala na daw ang MD pero wag kayong panghihinaan ng loob. Kanya-kanya lang naman yan. Sana wag na lang nating hanapin kung anong meron noon dahil iba-iba naman tayo ng forte, trip at pamamalakad. Clear? 

Passion at dedication lang dudes, alam kong kaya niyo yan! (ngayon pang totally equipped na talaga kayo, kami nga digicam days lang haha. Bitter? Jk!) In behalf of Yet, Pachu, Cam, Lane, Gelique, Phina, Kat at Grace— thank you! Good luck! We love you!
