Ang katuparan

 Ito na po ang katuparan ng naunsyami kong tula noong huling lathalain, eheh..yahhhooooo


"Bukas Isipan"

Sa araw araw na aking paglalakbay
Iba't ibang tao aking nakakasabay
papunta sa kani kanilang patutunguhan
sa opisina, sa eskwela o kung saan man.

Sa bawat araw na kanilang pinupuno
nang mga gawaing kanilang gusto
sisimulan at magtatapos nang naayon
upang sa huli ay wagas na magkalayon.

Subalit nawa'y sa gitna ng mga gawain
atin din mapansin ang mga kapatid natin
na tila sinukluban ng langit at lupa
di man nila nais, subalit di mga pinagpala.

Huwag tayong magbulag bulagan
sa tunay na kalagayan ng ating bayan
bawat isa lamang ang ating magiging lakas
kaya't wag kang magdamot at magdahas.

Sa mapaglarong pagbalasa ng panahon
Ang mga nasa langit ay maaring maging nasa lupa
at ang nasa lupa ay maaring maging nasa langit.

Sadyang walang nakakaalam ng ating kapalaran
Anu mang pilit nang ating isipan,
Basta pananalig at tiwala ang syang maging sandata
At ang Puong may gawa ang SYA ng magdidikta.



Ito po ay masusundan.
Muli, Salamat

And I say....

Here I am in front of PC logged in to this blog spot of mine but I don't have anything to write, this is just a free flow of thoughts, what ever my mind says that's what my fingers key in and so now you can read it. Lot of things worry me today for no apparent reason its just makes me worry, arrrgggg I HATE THIS. So to relieve myself I just stare on my facebook account, on my twitter and here on my blogspot releasing all my anxiety for today I hope it works.

As what the saying goes things happen for a reason whether its good or bad there's always a reason we may not know what the reason is but for sure it will be for yours or one's good. And the thing here is we should have an open mind and ready for any changes this event may bring. Unfortunately not everything is on our side, nuances will sure always be there but then so what let's just keep on moving on.

Its is just so uncanny that some events are being repeated sometimes it's incessant and your getting used to it that you wanna throw up.Good thing changes is constant so there's always new flavor, there's always challenge, audacity keeps us moving.

Haist I honestly don't know if I'm making sense here, I hope I do. This is just what I've thought of as of this writing, I just have to write to lulled my mind and heart.

Life is dainty to be negative.

That's it for now. Thanks for dropping by again.

Ang karugtong

Ito na ang karugtong ng aking huling lathalain, at tulad nang aking sinabi babalitaan ko kayo tungkol sa magiging resulta nang aking paghahanap ng trabaho at ha ha tayo ay pinagpala naka swerte at si Jac ay may trabaho na... daraaaannnnn!! eheh. Nung Nakaraang huwebes ay akin nang minarkahan nang aking lagda ang mga papel na naglalaman ng mga kasunduan sa bagong trabaho, sana lang ay maging maayos at maganda naman ito. Kaya wish me Luck! At naku ha ang mga kasamahan sa pag-akyat ay nakapag-pareserve na nang libre, pero sige okay lang hintay hintay lang kayo darating din tayo dyan.

Sa ibang usapan, ito ay tungkol sa proyekto ng aming grupo na TAGOT o TAGALOG OUTDOOR TRIBE isa itong samahan ng mga mamumundok na naglalayong sa pag-akyat ng mga kabundukan ay makapag-iwan ng magandang sisidlan. Sa ngayon ang grupo ay may planong mag-outreach program sa barangay ng Sta. Inez sa Tanay Rizal kasama ang mga local ng lugar na mga dumagat. Ito na ang ikalawang taon ng proyektong ito, may naisulat akong lathalain tungkol dito na maaring mo ring basahin balikan mo na lang ang, August 2012, maliit man ito subalit ito ay puno ng puso at pagmamahal.

Akyat para sa Dumagat ang naging tema ng nasabing proyekto, ito ay 3 araw na gawain May 25-27, 2013. Ang unang araw ay nakalaan para sa pakikipag salamuha sa mga Dumagat, magpapakain, mag-papalaro, magpoprograma, pagkatapos ay mamamahagi ng mga "give away" bilang isang maliit na paraan upang mapasaya namin ang ating mga kapatid sa Sta. Inez. Ang gawaing ito ay kusang loob po lamang, wala kaming mga sponsor o mga malalaking kumpanya na ini-rerepresenta kung kaya't kami ay personal na gumagawa ng paraan upang makalikom ng mga kakailanganing mga bagay tulad ng damit, pagkain, tsinelas, gamot, libro, lapis, notebook at kung anu pang maaring maipamahagi nawa'y sa tulong ng Diyos ay makalikom kami ng sapat.

Pagkatapos ng programa ang susunod na araw ay para sa actual na akyat-clean up drive ng grupo sa Mt. Irid na may sidetrip sa Kinabuan Falls. Paniguradong magiging masaya at makabuluhan nanaman ito, excited na nga ako. Makakasalamuha ka ng ibang tao na may parehong hilig mo sa pagakyat at ang tumulong, additional sa listahan nanaman ito ng mga kaibigan.

Ang pagtulong sa kapwa ay isang nobelang gawain na dapat ay bukal sa puso at hindi naghahanap ng anumang kapalit. Wala rin ito sa laki o dami ng tulong na iyong mabibigay subalit sa ngiting nauukit sa labi ng mga taong iyong natutulungan.


Muli maraming salamat sa pagdaan at pagbibighay oras sa pagbabasa. Magandang araw.


P.S. gagawan ko ng sariling blog sa susunod ang TAGOT.

Unang Tagalog

Sa aking pagbabasa ng blog ng isang kakilala (na naka sulat sa tagalog) aking napagtanto na wala pa pala akong nagagawa dito sa aking lathalain na Filipino, di ko alam kung bakit, pero patawad po. Kung kaya't sa mga oras na ito hayaan nyo akong ihayag ang aking saloobin/kwento sa lengguwaheng mas alam ko, ang Filipino. Subalit ipagpatawid nyo rin po kung may mga salita pa rin na nasa inglis, marahil di ko alam ang katumbas ng salita sa Filipino, tao lamang.

Sadyang napakabilis ng panahon sa bilis di ko namalayan na 2 buwan na pala akong di napasok sa opisina, hindi dahil sa gusto ko lang umabsent, kundi dahil wala akong trabaho. Masaya na mahirap ang walang trabaho masaya kasi nagagawa ko ang mga bagay na di ko magawa pag may trabaho pero mahirap kasi walang sweldo, paktay tlaga. Pero okay lang sulit naman maganda at nag-eenjoy naman ako dapat lang di ba haler... chillax chillax lang muna.

Nitong nakaaraang 2 linggo bagamat wala pa rin akong permanenteng trabaho may nakuha akong "project based" na tatagal lamang ng 15 araw, ang 10 araw ay natapos na nitong Marso 4-15 at ang susunod na limang araw ay sa Abril 3-7. Sa totoo lang di ko naman alam na "project based" lang ito, sinabihan lang ako ng kaibigan na mag-apply sa kumpanyang ito, subalit dahil wala pa namang trabahong nag-aantay sa akin ay sinunggaban ko na muna ito. 

Napakadali lang ng trabaho parang nglalaro ka nga lang sa kumputer at pagkatapos ng 10 araw, teneeeennn... may seldo ka, may tama ka! Ang saya saya! Hihihihi... Sa ngayon dalawang linggo pahinga muna ulit ang susunod na pagpasok ay sa Abril ulit limang araw lamang tas tseke na ulit. Hindi ko inakalang mag-eenjoy ako dito ang galing! 

Subalit, pero, sandali ang trabaong ito ay panandalian lamang kaya dapat na akong maghanap ng permanenteng trabaho kung hindi patay na ako kay nanay. Kailangan ng pangbayad sa bahay, ayaw kong matulog sa labas, ikaw ba gusto mo? kung kaya't sa ayaw at gusto ko kailangan nang kumilos ni Gabriela.

So tatapusin ko muna itong sulat ko dito titingin muna ako sa jobstreet o jobsDB. Babalik ako para dugtungan ang kwentong ito kung ano ang magiging resulta ng paghahanap ko ng trabaho.

Wish me luck. Salamat sa pag-istambay. Salamat sa pagbabasa.

Mountaineering

This is just a short personal view about this topic... with some side story.

Mountain climbing is something that became my passion and I love to do when I started it about 4 years ago. However even thou I'm doing this for years now I could say that I am still an amateur, because honestly there are still lot of things I need to learn and I need to adopt to. Mountaineering is not just an activity it is a passion, there are lot of things that are needed to consider before climbing. Attending BMC or Basic Mountaineering Course would be a great start but if you can't attend or find one, I found this site that you can read this is by UPM, that I myself read it too. It's  http://wiki.basecampone.com/index.php?title=U.P._Mountaineers_Basic_Mountaineering_Course_1#Part_1:_Climb_Preparation.

       
Mountain climbing is also a good way to learn and show your love to mother nature, it could also be a way to divert your negative day into positive one and also learning from other people you'll meet is one of the bests way to learn. So many things to consider from the smallest thing to the critical ones.. well its such a continuous learning.

I just had a climb last weekend at Mt. Tagapo with friends and that's one of the best climb I had, I'm in a beautiful mountain, in a great day, with beautiful people. Had a good food, good conversation, in a perfect view.

Pictures and more articles will follow.

Good day, good bye for now....

Fun at the Trek

The group amazingly owed by the Mountain

Socials @nyt

Oh looks there's a rainbow

Inexplicable beauty as the sun rise

Enchanted by the Nature

And then a week after my friend Jp invited me for a climb since he was not able to join us at Mt. Tagapo, he wants to climb too so just 2 days before next Saturday he asked us to climb Mt. Pico. Good thing I haven't done that one yet so I immediately said yes, thankfully our Mt. Tagapo was not that hard so I still have energy then. Then here comes March 2, the scheduled climb date but as always Jp came late, how late well just 30minutes late.. tsk tsk then we still have to pick up our other companion who already waited for about more than an hour, but still joined us. Sorry Kenneth.

More than climbing meeting strangers who have the same passion as yours and them becoming your friend is such a great experience, speaking off, along the way we met a soloist, meaning a person who will climb alone... he was sir Jojo or Mr. G, we met him at the bus and became instant buddy, so the three (3) became four (4). But that doesn't stop there as we are about to reach the parrot's peak we met two more climbers and same thing we became friends too even thou that we just met but we know that we speak the same language. As the saying goes the more the merrier.

In mountaineering you will never know what to expect, so aside from your backpack make sure that you also always carry with you an open mind, brave soul and a sweet smile.    

Mt Pico de Loro, Ternate Cavite

Who cares about the hit of the sun....

Oh Yes I've reached the top of that big rock!!!

me, being a cowgirl again.. eheh

New friends sir Jo (bald), sir Marlon(scarf) & sir Cloud (behind cam) 

And oh just again to be reminded of the basic rules

     Take nothing but pictures

     Leave nothing but footprints

     Kill nothing but time

have a good weekend. Godbless!

In my thoughts

          As of this writing there are lot of things running through my mind, I'm thinking on where I'll be applying and working next, about putting my savings in a mutual fund rather than just leaving it in bank that even though its earning, it only earns like 0.01% annually this thought was opened to me by a friend whom I just met up a while ago with another college friend. I'm also thinking of doing solo tour here in the Philippines and out of the country tour with family. I've also thought of taking online writing as a work with having my own schedule... arrrrgggg so many things I want to do but I'm constrained with my time and budget.

          Well I'm taking things one at a time, as of this moment while I'm free from work I'm getting details and learning things about investment then I'm pushing my interest to start getting a "mutual fund" or buying a stock so that my money is going somewhere. Discussing further, investing is something that I've been thinking already even before but since I don't know anything about this and doesn't have the right person to talk to, so my plan was set aside. Good thing that my friend already started hers and knows about this so I got some ideas from her and my interest was hooked up again, I just wish I wouldn't lose it. There are lot of payments needed to think of to back out.

          Whether I've settled with investment or not I'll be finding work thru online or I'll have to do the basic one which is applying personally. Then once I get a new job then I'll have a stable finances to cover my bills and use to save for my hobbies and interest.

            I am praying thee to the Lord and Sto. Nino that they may hear my prayers and grant the desires of my heart. I claim that the Lord had heard me. Amen. Just continue on dreaming and reaching to fulfill your plans and dreams. Godbless.

Hooking up with Backstreet boys

A few days ago I have a co worker who's been playing songs of Backstreet boys and I actually grew up knowing this group in fact I'm a real fan, sadly I am not a computer savvy or site savvy for that matter so I don't know where I could download songs so I don't have songs of BSB on my phone but gladly I was able to now after getting the site from my co worker.. hehehe I'm reminiscing on their songs and playing it every now and then, actually its playing on right now as of this writing. I have and still have their album tape but I don't have a cassette player and can't still buy one I'm not sure thou if there is still.. and wow I had just thought that it was been almost a decade or more since the last time I played that tape, hahahaha.

BSB during 1990's

It is such a good feeling remembering the things that you've been crazy in the past, it brings back the smile that was once in your face before upon seeing them/of getting what you want. I could still remember during high school years that they are so popular, me and my friends/classmate even created a group representing each of the BSB I did Kevin... hehehe I liked him so much, I've collected pictures and posters of them, I've bought magazines and song books featuring them and other paraphernalia of them, hahaha that's how people and I went gaga with them, I actually still like them thou.

BSB 2012

After 2 decades, after coming from a long break, from their own activities here they are again... as they were Never Gone they had keep it Goin' On and they had Never Broke our Hearts. For sure they are always Larger Than Life they had Shown us the Meaning of Being Lonely but the had proven a million times they are The One, the Shining Star,  Unbreakable, they are the BACKSTREET BOYS.

This is one of my favorite songs and videos of them....

THE CALL

Hello
Hi it's me what's up baby?
I'm sorry, listen I'm gonna be late tonight
So don't stay up and wait for me okay?
Where are you?
Wait, wait say that again?

Hello
You're coming in and out
I think my battery must be low
Listen if you can hear me
We're goin to a place nearby, alright? Gotta go

Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny
Now me and my boys went out just to end up in mysery
I was about to go home and there she was standing in front of me
Instead I, I got a little place nearby, I wanna go

I should have said no
Someone's waiting for me
But I'm gonna go up and see

Listen baby I'm sorry, just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late don't stay up and wait for me
I'll say again you're droping out my battery
It's low so you know we're goin to a place nearby, gotta go

Now till it's done nothing's been won
I can't take it back what's done is done
And one of her friends found out that she wasn't the only one
And it eats me from inside that she's not by my side
Just because I made that call and lied

Listen baby I'm sorry, just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late don't stay up and wait for me
I'll say again you're droping out my battery
It's low so you know we're goin to a place nearby, gotta go

Listen baby baby I'm sorry
Hello
Listen baby baby I'm sorry
Hello
Gotta go

Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out, just to end up in mysery
I was about to go home and there she was standing in front of me
Instead I, I got a little place nearby, can we go

Listen baby I'm sorry, just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late don't stay up and wait for me
I'll say again you're droping out my battery
It's low so you know we're goin to a place nearby, gotta go

Listen baby I'm sorry, just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late don't stay up and wait for me
I'll say again you're droping out my battery
It's low so you know we're goin to a place nearby
We're goin to a place nearby, gotta go

Keep the Backstreet pride alive!!!!

The Beautiful PHILIPPINES

Its been a while since my last trip and haven't been to another place aside from our house since that . 

As there was an unfortunate event I was not able to travel even just in near place or province, 

however things are back on track now and I wish I could continue on with my traveling. 

Everyone deserves a break, should gad on atleast once in a full year of their work 

however not everyone though can afford, so I'm lucky and thankful that I was able to.  

Before this mishap happened I had planned doing a Vigan-Laoag-Pagudpod tour, 

but this was set aside due to mishap. But that was over because I can have this push through, 

I just have to wait though first for a while and save up. I am actually thinking of doing this trip solo, 

consider backpacking since I already had a solo trip before I would like to do it again 

but this time it will be more far and challenging as I tend to do it without any plans, 

though will already set an itineraries for that. I'd like to see on how far I can go and feel on being audacity. 

For now though while still waiting for the right moment I 'll just keep myself busy first with my 

responsibilities and obligations. There might also be some changes I may thought of going to Camaroan, or it could be at Dumaguete, I can also go back to Davao or Bora, well I don't know I don't hold the future, what ever it is I'm fine with that just where ever my "itchy feet" bring me. 

Since I just came from hiatus I'll keep things one at a time, as the Lord will lead me. 

More than that I also hope that I can travel with my friends specially with my best friend Quel 

as we haven't gone to any place together yet... for sure though one day, one day.

These are the scenes that you can expect once you set your foot there. 

Have a safe trip to all and enjoy.  

Calle Crisologo in Vigan

Pagudpod Beach in Ilocos Norte

Bangui Windmill in Ilocos Norte

These pictures are the proof that it is indeed It's more fun in the Philippines. If you are already speechless upon these pictures then what more if you see this in person. So my BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY PHILIPPINES I'M BACK AND I'LL BE SEEING YOU AGAIN SOON.

I also invite EVERYONE whether you're someone from here or abroad please come, visit and explore the beautiful Philippine Island.

Me and my Blog

               

                 September 7, it was exactly one (1) year since I created this blog account for a personal use for a purpose of  to write my stories, my experiences, my moments, my thoughts, my feelings. I had never thought that I can keep up this blog and keep it alive and hoping I could continue with this, well I bet I can because my everyday is a story, every journey is a story.

                 Not every time I open and write on my blog is a happy moments, thou most are but nevertheless this site is something I'm happy to check and read my entries every now and then even thou I don't have something to blog on for that day.

                As  Hugh Macleod said Blogging is an art, same as any other method of self-expression. Some are better at it than others. All of the bloggers have their own reasons on why they create their blog/s, no matter what the reason for sure one thing that all bloggers have in common is the passion for writing,  blogging, sharing and making people aware that may relates them.

              As I put on my site that blogging is just a sliver part of lustrous writing. Everyday is a journey so... I write. I share. I blog. I smile.

                                     

                                      HAPPY 1st YEAR TO my "itsmejackie" blog.. hehehehe

Children of our time 2

On my blog dated October 12, 2011, I wrote about my nieces.. my adorable nieces. At this time this blog is dedicated to my nephew, my first nephew baby Jared Mjolnir Luke C. Gaerlan the "not so little baby" of my brother. 

Sadly I were not able to get much time with my nephew because my brother and his wife is living in Paranaque, far from ours and we don't see each other that much. But nevertheless there are pix being posted so we could see how our baby is doing. And here's some of his pix...

ooohh that smile....

baby Jared w/ tito and lola...

 

Additional to the Gaerlan family... I pray to the heavenly Father to bless, guide and protect these children. Amen.

Akyat para sa Dumagat

As I mentioned in my last blogged July 27, that I will  post pictures of my last activities which was the "Akyat para sa Dumagat" last July 21-22, 2012 at San Andres, Tanay Rizal, Philippines. Recently I've been trying to do outreach program as much as I can to make my self and time useful. 

This semi climb was so worth risking for even thou I am not familiar with the people I came with, what I know off is that we have the same purpose and we have the same goal, to help and do what we all love... to climb.

 

Mass Feeding to the children of Dumagat

 

 

Trekked to Kinabuan  Falls, Tanay

 

Another great purpose while doing what I love, Thank you.

Wonderfully enlightened

     Yesterday I had a realization, when me and my friend and travel buddy Jp, went out and had "Visita Iglesia" under the raining season. After knowing that this friend of mine have colon cancer, tears falls from my eyes however I have to be positive, we have to be positive that he will still be healed, there will be miracles. 

                                                      

     Sometimes people reject and neglect our health and our relationship to God. We all take things for granded and then when things get bad that's when we open our eyes and be reminded of our bad ways. However unfortunate things really happens, when its already there, no one should be blame but just have to accept it, work from it and make things better as miracles do happen just believe.

     Yesterday, when we went out honestly I felt happy, peace and there is a smile on my face despite of the situation as I could see that my friend starts to repent, starts to open and give his life to the Lord thou I know he is hurting. One other good thing that brought up this incident is that we his friends are being dragged back to the church (thou I do go to church) but this felt different. We even joked about that Jp is bringing his friends to the right path and then one day we will just notice that all of us will have halo. hehehehe....

     However we believe that Jp will be healed and will live long more years, we'll still climb mountain and go to different places as this guy still owes me a trip.... hehehe

Remember clean living, healthy living and Faithful living.

I just thought

Wow I've never noticed that my last blogged was since last June 8 and  haven't had blog anything as words comes in and out of the mind. It so ridiculous, that even though I'm just sitting words are overflowing me then when I'm about to write it down, arrrg its all gone. Right now honestly I don't have any theme about this blog, well probably I could say this is anything goes.

Even though there had been lot of things happened in my life in the last 1 month and 1/2, I have just thought that well there are things that doesn't need to be broadcasted, to tell to every one, some times its just better to keep it to your self or to your close friends and just be pious that things will be better.

There is one thing thou that I did last July 21-22, 2012 and I'll post the pictures soon... It has something to do about my favorite hobby which is mountain climbing. I joined these mountaineering groups, in which by the way I don't have any idea who and what they are, I don't even know any from them but still I joined. They have an advocate to help and do outreach program that actually enticed me to join the activity. In 3 years of trekking I want my climb to be memorable and worth it, this one is indeed.

There will be part 2 according to the organizers and I hope I can still join them.

Climb, climb, climb.

The Prayers

God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit Please come here to us and hear the prayers of my heart, our hearts

 Prayer of different  people... “Deliver me, O my Lord from self-confidence, self-centeredness, and self-consciousness. You be my confidence, and the center of my activities; and may I always be more conscious of your presence than of the presence or absence of others.”—devo
