On managing daMEAT

Few days before blitz won for presidency, he went to states
And a few weeks after goh won for PRO he went to states.

Now that leaves me, berd and aki. Berd and aki were virgin admins of dameat and I was helping out the group ever since last year. You get the picture…

Why didn’t I complain about 2 admins leaving the country?
I wanted to show people that the 3 people left behind were capable of running the place, I want people to see that we are mature enough to do our duties rather than whining that we might not make it before even we started running the place. Moreover daMEAT is a group formed so artists can hangout and meet each other to share views, insights, encourage each other and most of the time, have fun. So how is holding back one the admins fun and encouraging? So I just let go.

:::Rant:::
I’m a bit pissed at the fact that Blitz isn’t trying to do much until now. I was informing him some stuffs I want to do pero ang sinagot lang nya sakin “ Kaw bahala kaw naman vice e.” He didn’t even tell the people na wala na sya sa country. Ewan ko ba… I just think it was irresponsible of him not informing the poeple. Sana he told me nalang na busy sya ikaw na muna bahala. Wala man lang formality. When were we formal in da anyway..? the heck.. kaya nga ako nag vice kasi I think I’m capable of supporting people than making decisions for the group. Maybe it’s because I’m scared of getting blamed, or maybe the word “President” intimidates me so much that I might screw up. I’m still not ready, yun lang.
:::End of rant:::


How daMEAT affected your life?
I was never a friendly kid. Back then my mom was so protective when I got in school I’m so fragile I cry at the slightest jokes and thus the kids’ favorite bully target. So basically I was a loner at elementary, had few friends until Highschool. In college I met a lot of artist from my class but still it’s different. Then I met people in da, was present when keith made a cartoon joke about daMEAT and thus dameat was born. I am overwhelmed with the number of artist I can easily cope with. I feel like I can be myself around with this people. It’s cheesy but this is the happiest group I’ve been too, it’s not the perfect place, we have the ups and down, but I wanted to protect this group, it’s sanctuary for artists in need of sharing he’s ideas to other people who can fully understand him.



That’s why I’m making an effort to help the group. Even if it felt unfair, at least I have done my part. And I know a lot of people are supporting this group. Aki and Berd are doing well. And I’m positive that will be sailing smoothly for me and the other admins.


Before I end I wanted to thank
Ck for proofreading my journals, for supporting daMEAT admins all the way, she’s the most dedicated person I ever met. Thanks for giving me advices and better options. She’s my ego booster and our Unica Hija. :)
Wilson, I almost always ask advice from him, for decision making, ideas and other stuff,
Mikel for spending precious time to make a decent design for daMEAT stuffs.
My best bud Frey for always being there to lift out the positive side of things when everything is covered with crappy.
Sheila for giving me a wake up call. yes thanks to you I did a some reflections.
Darky and Olive for the support.
Mark for being patient, he’s my guardian, sheath and pandoras box. He’s the most understanding and supportive person I know. Thanks for accepting this poor girl for who she is.
And to all my friends in daMEAT, thanks for the fun ride. :) let’s do it again soon.

Hairspray!!

Watched “Hairspray” with mark yesterday XD ayun naka retro look kami. Naka long dress and leggings ako na black ang gray, sya naman naka polo na may pattern na color darkbrown and white. XD tapos yung hair nya di na kailangan ng hairspray lol.
Ganda yung hairspray, si John Travolta ang cute cute~!!!! I enjoyed the movie, though di ako super geek kasi most of the jokes di ko mapick up agad. Na disturb lang ako dun sa hairspray, spray ng spray masisira ozone layer!!! Si Allen Walker magaling din bagay sa knya yung father role, cute nila ni John Travolta :)

Anu ba moral ng movie?
I think kahit magisa ka nalang. If everything seems to be going against you, basta it’s the right thing to do, do it. Kasi a single positive action can make a big difference. The results may not be there agad pero eventually your efforts will be paid off. It’s like you plant something, you have to be patient and consistent. :)

oh yeah happy yum day lion!!!
muahmuahmuah!

Company Outing 2007 : Coco Beach

I just came back from Puerto Gallera yesterday. We had bumpy bus and boat rides, Korean invasion, welcome drinks, spectacular food, swindled, pictures, scratches on our knees, sea sicks, 1000 pictures, and that’s the best company outing ever. =)

I woke up 3:30am to take a bath before my taxi arrives, I was expecting it around 4:30am but I think he’s a little too excited and went our house 30 mins early good thing I’m already wearing my pants. Mom woke up to open the gate for me :)

I arrive the station at 4:30am, lea, joy jen, and princez is there, stressed and still working, I helped them out sending some files and around 5AM mommy D. arrived :) she’s not coming with us because it was a very long journey, so instead she went to the station to pick us up and bring us to diamond hotel where our bus is waiting. At meron din kaming jolibee for breakfast ayos =)

6am+ we left the station. Arrived at the diamond hotel to find out we’e riding with foreigners (Americans, Koreans, Japanese) first ride I fell asleep, we made our first stop at a gas station. I pity the kids who can’t go to the bathroom because almost everyone in our group was in the line going to the bathroom. (we were 26, 70% were women) After the long ride, we arrived the boat area around 10am, where we had a wet bumpy boat ride. The boat was literally flying @___@ Mang Manny (our technician who was sitting near front of the boat) was first to be bathe in sea water XD he was soaked from head to foot XD

We arrived Coco Beach around 11AM, welcomed warmly by coco beach family with coconut drinks and shell necklace =) had delicious lunch, and in here Sir Raffy gave us “pocket money” XDDDDDDD we love you sir rafffy~!!!!!!!!!!

We went to our respective rooms, I’m sharing the room with Ate cel, Ate len and Carla. We walk along the stone path, where a sign “Heritage” greets us, Walk more and there’s a 20ft tall wall of vines and flowers on the right, on the left were our rooms, there’s a terrace were we have a “sampayan” and “sala” made of wood and bamboo. The rooms is fresh looking, the walls were aqua blue, and everything were mostly made from ingenious materials (the guide books says they wanted to preserve the natural environment so they carefully chose what materials to use to build an eco friendly resort =) (took pictures here)

2pm we went to to beach to get a boat to bring us to “white beach”. I think our boat kinda swindled us because he says he didn’t know where he’s taking us. So our boat got lost going to white beach while others went to Puerto Gallera. (Puerto=P300.00, WB=P1100 x……x ) we arrived there and saw a line up of souvenir tiange. My friends we’re buying pasalubongs for their family, I on the other hand shoped for a pasalubong for mark XD (because I figured my siblings will only use my pasulobng into their “pantulog”) I went around and saw a pair of knitted bikini I wanted for the longest time. That I got for only 90 bux =) (dapat dalawa kinuha ko tsk)

The waves in white beach was strong. The waves are high and the sea water is reaching us like 10 meters away @__@ my company drank beers and swam the shore (and we take moe pictures hehe~! )

4:30pm we went back. Our boat got stuck in the middle of the sea. And we arrived the coco beach by 5:30 and we ate merienda =) after that we went back to our rooms to get change to go to the beach. (more pictures taken here hehe)

At night we had dinner at the beach side. =) we had barbecues, (fishes, chicken, beef, kebab etc) grilled potatoes, buttered veggies, cream soup yum =) carla and I went back to our room, accompanied by Chico who was getting well from his fever. We got back in our room and not long cel and len also came back, and we fell asleep, tired from the trip. Around 10pm sir paeng came knocking loudly at our door. It’s drinking time na kasi XDDD ayun we got up again wore jackets and went to Sir raffy’s room to have a few beers, courant, tequilla ,cheetos and a chat. We also went to lea’s room because they’re keeping the other “pulutan” from us XDD we got back in our rooms around 12mn because we planned to wake up early to swim in the beach.

7am we woke up, washed our faces brush our teeth, got into our bathing suits and went to eat breakfast before goin to the beach to take more picture shahahahha XDDDD we even made a, “RX93.1” sand sculpture and took more pictures =) we went back around 9:30 to take a bath and go to the “hanging bridge” and ride the cable jeep to go to “silent pool”. Took more pictures and went back to our rooms to get ready to check out of our rooms.

We left the island around 12:30pm. Rode a speed boat first before transferring into a bigger boat, in the middle of the sea @________@ this ride is much safer and less bumpy. Although the waves were a bit bigger and it rained, the “kapitan” is really careful. Len and I were hoping to see some dolphins jumping in the sea, but instead I saw flying fishies XDDD

We arrived the shore after and hour, Carla and I were seatmates again in the bus, beside us were Korean children, we were offering them food like “butong kalabasa” and “meringe” and they love it =) yun nga lang may moment na we were peeling kalabasa seeds for the children hehe~! And the children ate up a bag of meringe (pano humingi ng humingi para mabigyan mga kapatid nya ^^;;;)

We arrived diamond hotel around 6pm =) mommy is there again fetching for us. In the car binigay namin yung pasalubong namin na sarong para sa kanya =) After that I met my family at shangri-la, ate at house of minis (there goes my pocket money) and went home 11PM na. =)

Saya saya kasi dami kong pictures sa beach ahahahha!!!!!
