Are you Conyo?

Did you know that this word is not as nice as you think it is? It's a Spanish word pertaining to something I'd rather not say here. But if you are really interested, get on to the internet and google it. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Let's just talk about the meaning of this word in the Filipino context. I use to get called this name because I speak English with a little bit of what they call 'arte', I never get to understand what's so bad about saying the words the way they should be. But never mind that, this not about me. Sometimes 'conyo' means the rich. If you are wearing signature clothes, designer shoes, and fancy accessories, you will be marked as 'conyo' just because you are pretty wealthy. But the best meaning I think of the word in Filipino context is that 'conyo' are those people who speak in English mixed with Tagalog. There is nothing with speaking Taglish, I think it somehow depends on how it is delivered. Many of us are so sensitive with this aspects of person that we have to have something to call it.

Being posh is not a bad thing because to be honest, I'd rather be 'conyo' than be 'jologs.

But the way, I saw this video today posted by a friend of mine in facebook. I just found it really funny.

Nature's Touch

I just stumbled upon this beautiful picture. According to what I dug in the internet, this waterfall is located in Multnomah County, Oregon in the United States and is called Multnomah Falls. This tiered type waterfall is such a beauty. Hopefully, I can see it with my on eyes one day.

And I just love this other picture, makes me think that faeries, a nighttime setting and a few fireflies ought to make the picture perfect.

Bad Hair Day

"Today is a bad hair day."

I didn't literally have bad hair today, but I was kinda expecting to start the week right. Unfortunately, I started Monday on the wrong note.

Well, the morning started with series of bad news and lots of work. I was kinda expecting that what I did last week was flawless, but nah, life really has the habit of annoying me. I felt so down and stupid, every thing that I was trying to purge from my mind came reeling back. I was once again thinking of giving up.

I'm really grateful that I have a very special group of people around me, even though all I wanted is to sulk in misery and despair, I have no choice but to stand up and move on.

How did I bounce back?

I just made sure that I do the rest of my work with excellence and treat the day as a chance to make things better. Besides, whatever things that doesn't kill me, should make me stronger.

You, how do you make a bad day better?

Maybe you just need to sing a sad song just to turn it around. *wink*

What would you do if you're Manny Pangilinan

I was watching the Smart Gilas and the Smart All-Star team earlier. This has been a great experience for Philippine Basketball and the whole country.

The Smart All-Star team consists of the NBA alpha-dog, Kobe Bryant, the reigning MVP Derrick Rose, the scoring champion Kevin Durant and the premier point guard, Chris Paul. Also gracing the team was Derek Fisher, James Harden, Tyreke Evan, Javale McGee, and rookie Derrick Williams.

Saturday was against the PBA All-Star Selection, with the country's top guns, such as James Yap and Arwind Santos. Today was against the National Team, Smart Gilas. Both games were won by the Smart All-Stars.

This once in a lifetime offer was all made possible by, may be the richest businessman in the country, Manny V. Pangilinan. He even bought half of the Araneta Coliseum, which will now be named as the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Plus, imagine how much money he has to spend to make this event possible. Maybe being the head of the top companies in the country helps to make this almost impossible event happen. It was also rumored that MVP is buying the NBA team, Sacramento Kings, which will make him the first asian to own a NBA franchise.

So if you are Manny Pangilinan, what would you do?

Me, I'll invite Kobe Bryant to play one on one with me every Saturday for a catch up game or maybe have Sarah Geronimo sing as I eat dinner.

Audible Thoughts

Hello!

How do I start this without making it look like a letter. The hello on top seems to be a bad idea, but that is how you welcome somebody, a simple friendly remark such as that.

Well, I'm trying to start anew. I wanted to vent out the thoughts that I think might be able to help anybody who will read this. I'm not a prefect person but maybe with all that imperfection, or maybe those flaws, you may be able to pick up one or two lessons. Hopefully, I'll be able help.

I'm Angelo by way, just in case you needed a name to credit any mischief you'll do by reading this.

Basically, I'm just doing this blog for me, but if I can help anybody, then welcome. I'd love to hear some feedback. Help me out, besides it's the bad side.
