Saturday
Kadayawan
Prior
It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon when I stepped out of the house to go to my guy friends' respective workplace for personal reason. They were the once who were able to help me and provide me with what I was needing. I bid them goodbye shortly after receiving their help, went to the mall, and do what my sister tasked me to.
Kai's Boyfriend's Birthday
From there, I started to contact my dayshift friends because we were invited for a birthday celebration and we were expected to be there at 5 in the afternoon. But the problem is, I didn't know the exact location of my friends house. I decided to go inside the national bookstore while waiting for atleast a single reply from them but there was none. Signal was on and off. An hour of waiting for nothing seems like forever and impatience finally drove me. I made up my mind to just go home and forget about the nightlife.
I was about to climb up the jeepney when I receive a text message from a friend who invited us telling me the direction of their house and was asking my whereabouts. I learned that he's been texting me a couple of minutes ago but it took the message quite long before it reaches me due to the bad signal.
Thank God I was relieved upon arriving to the house of Kai. Our two other friends just arrived also. To kill the time, we watched a funny movie after we eat and had a good time watching it.
Ale's Birthday
Meanwhile, feeling so weak and exhausted of what I've been through, I felt so sleepy that time while my phone was being charge at the opposite side from where I positioned myself for comfort. I didn't notice that my friend Raquel has already been texting me to know if I decided whether to join the nightshift group to celebrate Ale's birthday or not. Once read the message, I sent her an immediate reply letting her know that I was coming with them and asking the time and place of the celebration. After a minute or two, I received a message from her again. Upon reading it, I expected to read a complete information as to where and when the event will take place but I only read her wrath instead. Again, messages were so delayed before it reach to the recipients. Bad signal only caused us trouble.
And so we met at Mercury drug, Claveria. And we go directly at Zed Pizza where the birthday celebration of Ale was being held. I was happy to know that my college friends (hazel, molit and pearl) were also there. I had so much fun that time especially when they were dancing and singing in chorus. I've knowm my nightshift friends to be active and upbeat when it comes to fun and excitement. I've never regreted for everytime they invited me in occasions. Thanks to them.
We parted ways by 4 o'clock in the morning, sunday.

I've been meaning to share the detail of my activities during the Kadayawan since Monday but my mind is filled with many thoughts that I can't seem to decide what needs to be done first. Well, I know my task must be placed on top of my priority but can't help myself from thinking of some other things to do and get accomplished with. But I'm still glad that at least I was able to finish a few. And most importantly, I was able to pass through the agony that keeps bothering me for weeks.
Before Directv existed, cable was the only available we had for tv viewing. It has known for us to have a greater convenience upon staying at home if we are being provided with the things we usually like to do like watching a television. Having a cable tv at home seems to be the only answer if we want to have some entertainment and be saved from boredom. With this, you can select channels where you can find your favorite tv programs like movies and sports.
Cable indeed provided a better selection of channels for viewing but satellite TV technology like Dish network and Directv may become a good choice for everyone as it is having a unique features. Satellite TV is purely digital that it provides the clearest picture possible. With Directv Benefits, you can have an enjoyable viewing experience.
As technology emerges, comparison shopping is just one of the things you can have online. You can also record your favorite cool movies or programs as much as you wanted with the help of satellite tv.

I found the pieces in my hand
They were always there
It just took some time for me to understand
You gave me words I just can't say
So if nothing else
I'll just hold on while you drift away
Cause everything you wanted me to hide
Is everything that makes me feel alive
The cities grow
The rivers flow
Where you are, "I'll" never know
But I'm still here
If you were right and I was wrong
Why are you the one who's gone
And I'm still here
Still here
I've seen the ashes in my heart
I smile the widest
When I cry inside and my insides blow apart
I tried to wear another face
Just to make you proud
Just to make you put me in my place
But everything you wanted from me
Is everything that I could never be
The cities grow
The rivers flow
Where you are, "I'll" never know
But I'm still here
If you were right and I was wrong
Why are you the one who's gone
And I'm still here
Maybe tonight
It's gonna be alright
I will get better
Maybe today
It's gonna be okay
I will remember
I held the pieces of my soul
I was shattered and I wanted you to come and make me whole
Then I saw you yesterday
But you didn't notice
And you just walked away
Cause everything you wanted me to hide
Is everything that makes me feel alive
The cities grow
The rivers flow
Where you are, "I'll" never know
But I'm still here
If you were right and I was wrong
Why are you the one who's gone
And I'm still here
The lights go out, the bridges burn
Once you're gone, you can't return
But I'm still here
Remember how you used to say I'd be the one to run away
But I'm still here
They were always there
It just took some time for me to understand
You gave me words I just can't say
So if nothing else
I'll just hold on while you drift away
Cause everything you wanted me to hide
Is everything that makes me feel alive
The cities grow
The rivers flow
Where you are, "I'll" never know
But I'm still here
If you were right and I was wrong
Why are you the one who's gone
And I'm still here
Still here
I've seen the ashes in my heart
I smile the widest
When I cry inside and my insides blow apart
I tried to wear another face
Just to make you proud
Just to make you put me in my place
But everything you wanted from me
Is everything that I could never be
The cities grow
The rivers flow
Where you are, "I'll" never know
But I'm still here
If you were right and I was wrong
Why are you the one who's gone

It's gonna be alright
I will get better

But I'm still here

Behind the silence over the past two weeks was a sort of not-so-ordinary days. Hanging out with friends to unwind once in a while especially right after receiving the salary became a usual thing for us. Sticking with the original plan, a certain group of photographers share their common passion in photography and pursued their photoshoot at Eden Nature Park last August 9, 2008. Having Raquel and Aubrey (friends) as their models. It was approximately 6 hour photoshoot that it became exhausting to everyone.
Meanwhile, there were four of us who joined the group to give assistance to our model friends and to do a "business" of our own at the same time. We strolled around Eden, tried something that the place could offer and please ourselves. We had our buffet lunch together in which we were not satisfied for it wasn't really worth it. Then we had our zipline experience. Glad I was able to overcome my fear of heights, wasn't I?
There were little issues regarding that particular event that can't be avoided most of the time. Things like time that was not being followed (delays), transportation problem, and other things like that. Not a big deal, though. And considering the fact that the group were able to do their purpose of going there and that the model seemed to like the result of the photos, it turned out to be a success for everyone, I must say.
For a whole week that followed, I was drowned with thoughts on my personal dealings. And had finally found a way to escape.
"photography is truth"

The following week after playing paintball, my friends Biggy, Aubrey and Kai had a Friday night out. I wasn't able to come with them due to my fever. It also happened that rain often took place at night for the past days. So, I decided to skip the fun and stay at home instead.

July 28, Tuesday, was Biggy's birthday. We celebrated her special day by having a dinner in Karlyn's, situated at Doña Luisa Village, Quimpo Blvd., Ecoland, Davao City.

July 29, Wednesday, was Arjay's birthday. In comparison to Biggy's, Arjay also celebrated his birthday by having a dinner together with his friends in one of the restaurant here in davao. Toryanos is just a walking distance from the office. It is conveniently located in front of The Apo View Hotel.
Both events wonderfully celebrated after the duty.
I spent my weekends watching the dance workshop at Metrolifestyle.
