- Remove a wisdom tooth day?! -

Press play. Blakroc - Aint Nothin Like You. this song is on repeat right now!


When i got up this morning, i was fully aware of my dentist appointment. had the appointment at 10:30, just before i had to head for work. Okay, so i sat there..thinking to myself "this is just a normal check up, they´ll remove one of my wisdom teeth next time.." to my fully surprise, the dentist goes "alright.looks like were all set, lets remove one at your lower jaw" I was like "haha, dont think so. i gots work in 30 min =P"

before i could even say can we do this next time she set the anesthetic and the "operation" was on...i was all nervous. making my hand into a wrist.my voice got all raspy for some reason..the session was done after 30 minutes or so..and i ended up having a sore mouth. i couldnt feel the right side of my mouth,nor my tounge for like 4 hours. yeah i looked messed up, and to ur disappointment theres no pic =P hahaha.

anyway my brother came home today. it was great to have him home. missed having him around. its just good to spend time with the family. tomorrow were having dinner out. fist time in ages! i hope my tooth wont hurt all that much, so i can enjoy good food =P

P.s. im leaving u with some horrible pix of how not to wear your pants..





No i dont know who Bella is..okay u can get away when ur 13-16 wearing ur pants like this. but there was a guy who was freaking 18 and wearing his pants like this!
but then again, im not one to judge..i had my fair share of following the trend..i just hope this trend never comes to norway..for now its just in sweden, and norwegian kids are only wearing two rubber bands...for now.

God is Love..

- Injections? -

So from today its only freaking 6 days til i leave for the Philippines, and since im leaving i needed to get some injections just for the safety of my health..dont wanna get sick while im on vacay..u dig? =P

anyway..went with my sister..swear! that doctor was about alot of stuff that i didnt even understand..and he was talking in a lightning speed! anyway ended up getting two injections in the same arm, and believe me im so sore right now..it kinda sucks..but blah its all good..after getting the injections, my sister treated me to lunch, pizza slices & soda for 45 kr? baws! thanks for the hook up ate =)

after i met up with that little Chinese girl; Joanna for a quick snack. got to catch up a bit before we both headed off for work...

worked for some hours, met up with MG so i didnt need to take the bus by myself =P shes cool enough to wait some 10-15 minutes til i got off work, thanks =)




hahaha i filled out this form by myself..i failed, cause i didnt fill it out with capital letters..hahah i shouldve had let ate done it =P


were getting all this information, but were not really paying attention =P


BAWS!


Ms i pretend how to speak chinese =P

okaaay..so two days ago..there were some girls that came by the shop just before we were closing..i asked them if they needed any help..they said nah..i said my usual line "tell me if you guys need any help" line....they didnt say much, but they just smiled..they left the store when we closed..but to my surprise i met them at the mall across the street, when i was going to deliver the money bag to the bank..all of a sudden they just come behind me...

and i turn around and ask "is there anything?"..one of the girls reply "are u?" i just answered "am i???" then one of them just says "are u himynameisjas.blogspot.com????" i burst out in laughter & smile..not that i laughed at them..its just that its been awhile since someone actually asked me that...i said yes of course...firs thing they asked was "how come u havent blogged lately?" i just smiled and said it was due to laziness.which is true though...i asked what the liked bout my blog..how they found it...is it something they would like me to change? they all agreed when they answered "we love the quotes, we like that u take pix of your outfits...cool that some guys dares to post thumbnails like that"

with that i just want to say thank youuuu! again i am happy that people read my blog...hahaha first encounter in awhile with real readers =P

- Did someone say late updates?

I suck at updating...so warning to the people who visit my blog..this will be a long entry =P

FIRST! the YOUth Got Talent 09..the annual talent show the YFL Norway hosts for the youth of Oslo. this show is for the youth to showcase their talents, and to bridge the gap between them. that whatever race, culture, faith theres something that an draw them together..and thats the passion for what they do. whether its music or dance =) this year it was just amazing! it was alot of stress and nervousness from my side. but when the show started..i knew every little thing would be alright =)

i get inspired by people who love what they do. i saw alot of young people dancing, playing some instruments & singing..and it struck me how much they just dont inspire eachother..but the people whose watching as well...that whatever theyre doing on stage..anyone can do it..as long as u set ur mind to it =D

this years winner was MJ Crew for the dance part & ano?nymous for the music part of the competition.

Heres Ano?nymous playing - Here we go again & Nobody


Mj Crew, dance performance =D


The day after we had our annual xmas dinner with our "fam-bam" (Geronimos & the Bulacan). yeah i know its early, but since the geronimo kids, Tito emil & my ninang & of course my fam. are leaving for the motherland we had to have our xmas dinner early this year. just to make sure we do follow tradition =)

- Im At A Lost For Words -

So after reading thru the last post..i was wondering..how am i supossed to follow up that? im most def. at a lost for words..i sense that people think i always have something clever to say, but really i dont. i never mean to hurt anyone by what i say. and id like to apologize to whomever i have offended by anything ive said. i tend to say stuff, without thinking it thru before i say it.

I guess i always learn the hard way..

yeah i tend to mess stuff up...

instead of talking all that much..ive realized i need to listen far more than ive ever have.

God is love

- 5 years? -

This song has nothing to do with the picture actually. its just that this cover of Gabe Bondoc - Gentlemen dont is one of the ones i really enjoy listening to.




So when i saw this question. i recall myself having a conversation with my good friend RJ from Vienna about opening up a shop there, due to the fact of the lack of sneakers in this city...the dream plan is: give it 5 years if there is still no store up and running that is real good, we´ll open up a store. I love the fact that we have a concept for it, and its a real dream, i mean dream bigh right?

anyway..its a dream, but is it a plan? For my part, ive always had a plan ready when it came to my future. study to become a chef..work as a chef, then go to uni or college to study Hotell & tourism..this would eventually lead me to study within Food & beverage..which would be the last stop of studies. I would be content with working within the business of the culinary world, but would this make me happy?

Kuya Joseph Tesoro said this during his session at a GA here in Oslo right after the congress..it went :" Gods plans are far greater than Yours!" He had such a good point..His plans are greater than ours..He has so much love for us..matter of fact He only has love for us..thats why He already planned out our lifes. He just lets us get a glimpse of the future every now and then =) Which makes it even more exciting =D

So would the F&B world still be my thing? i randomly got a visit at the shop i work at from one of my favorite teachers ever. we started discussing about carriers..what was the next step for me? Im very active in the youth catholic group YFL, & by always being interactive with youth..i learned that i still wanted to work with the youth...the kids. and we started talking about what if i wanted to be a teacher as a living? I laughed just by the thought of it. why? cause i saw teachers just as a pest..they were just there to keep us busy half of the day =P...but the more i let her give out points about it..the more i saw the positive side of it. you actually do touch & effect them in one way or another...

i was praying alot about it right after the visit my old teacher paid me. and i just started to listen..didnt do the talking, just asked Him for some signs..that would let me know what He wanted me to do..funny thing is...one ofmy co-workers is actually studying to become a teacher..and he started talking bout this..I really got excited..so excited that i actually watched "Freedom Writers". yeah i know its a movie..but hey it was based on a true story..real talk...it just spoke to me...

so yeah..ive decided..to stay here in oslo and not go to some culinary school in a foreign country & educate myself by becoming not just a teacher who will teach students..but a teacher who will let the students teach him..
