One Question.

question = ooo did u just say it sucks to be filipino sometimes? i hope saab's dad, mr francis m. doesn't read that coz he's very proud to be a filipino. it shows naman on his shirts and stuff. hehe

I did. Like being anything, there are some downsides to being Filipino. I would also say it sucks to be catholic sometimes, it sucks to be a guy sometimes, it sucks to be a part of my family sometimes, but it doesn't mean i'm not proud of it. I'm simply saying that even being Filipino has a downside. Its not an end all be all, and that's the problem with a lot of us. Yeah, we're proud to Filipino, but for the wrong things.

I'm a big fan of Saab's dad, and I'm a big fan of his shirts. Its amazing to be Filipino when you see other Filipino's take so much pride in the country and display it in different ways. I believe Francis M, in his music and in his work, has given so much to our country and it is something to be proud of.As i said, there is enough to hope for and enough to be proud of.

To further illustrate my point, my great grandfathers fought for the country during the Japanese occupation. They founded one of the biggest and most widely known resistance groups in the history of our country, so I know about bein proud to be Filipino. However, at the same time, there were also a lot of Filipino's who collaborated with the Japanese, therefore it sometimes sucks to be Filipino-- because we are so diveded. To see those who should be leading the country take advantage of their own countrymen for personal gain, tell me, should I be proud of that, should I not feel bad that it happens?

Nothing is perfect in the world. The moments a person is most voulnerable are the moments which give birth to character. Because it sometimes sucks to be Filipino, the more I want to fight to change it.

Pretty deep :)

question = oh i see. dapat you guys didn't take it down, kasi as far as you guys are concerned, if your relationship isn't stepping on anyone and they just happen to not like you guys together, then that's their problem. why should you measure your relationship accdg to what they want diba? :) you and saab love each other, if they can't deal with it..no one's forcing them to visit your website. just my two cents. :) i can see that you guys are really happy with one another, you both deserve the right to do so freely just like any other couple, regardless of what other people think or say. :)

Lets just say people are just looking out for her because I do not have the best reputation. I'm here to prove that wrong. :) thank you for the support though :)

once and for all

question = I didn't notice you had a qbox here. Hello :) Where's Saab? I miss her and her updates! Bet you miss her, too :p

Hi! hehe! Saab is probably sleeping right now. and yes i do miss her very very much

question = You have a very nice bod. DROOL! :D~

Haha! Thanks! i don't really agree but thanks. :)

question = bakit niyo tinangal yung blog niyo ni saab together? what happened? she took out your links too. whats with the sudden change? it would be silly of you two to think that people won't notice :)

Okay, to answer this once and for all. The reason it was taken down was because certain people do not agree with our relationship therefore we had to take a step back and take that down. Aryt?

thud

question = do u have siblings? curious lng. hehe ;)

Yes I do. I have a half-brother, and a brother. Both are in the US. :)

question = why the secrecy all of a sudden?

What secrecy? its only in your mind

question = Why'd you skate? And when did you first try it out?

i was supposed to write about that. Why do i skate? there's a lot of reasons. mainly because its really spiritual and a good outlet. hahaha i first skated a year ago with luis, my brother from another mother.

question = ask kaklus?

twuuut uuuup soooon!

And no, I am not related to Robbi Domingo. I am however related to a Miguel Domingo. And to a Jesus Lava
There you go. shoots!

Night Questions

Hello, so here's the answers. :)

question = Bakit wala na yung Q&A blog nyong dalawa? :(

I know, its sad but for reasons outside the two of us, it had to be taken down. don't worry though, i think everything will work out.

question = you and saab seem so perfect for each other. wish you both the best. thanks too for being really nice to us readers. :)

Thank you! I do believe she's perfect. :) Its an honor to talk to you all, so keep the questions coming :) hehehe

question = Since when have you and Saab been together?

We met a year ago :)

question = Favorite tambayan ninyo? Yihee

Yaw, Yaw!

To make things more organized, I'm going to answer my own questions. Hahaha!

So here are some that are directed towards! enjoy!

I drive a Corona or a Discovery most of the time. Pag-tamad crv. hahaha

Every time we can. Yes, she's my princess. :) and yes hatid sundo kung kailangan. Bawal magcommute :)

question = so what's the real score? together na ba or hindi?

we're whatever you want us to be :)

question = bike nalang ako as mode of transpo... long board baka masugat pa ako ala saab

Okay din mag-bike actually eh. Mas nasaktan pa ko nung nasugat si Saab eh. Sha tumawa lang. Actually, mas madali ata matuto mag skate kesa mag bike eh. :) haha

question = carlos, where do you live?

the qc. HAHAHAHA

question = Hey Saab and Carlos... Same school ba kayo or same neighborhoods?? Wala lng just wondering.XD. =]

Same school dati. i graduated eh. hahah

question = i read sa question blog ni saab na akala daw nia dati binobola mo lng daw siya, dahil super sweet mo. tapos, totoo nman pla. NAKS! kilig :P ;)) anong mssabi mo dun?

Ano masasabi ko dun? di lang sha sanay ;) i enjoy being sweet to her more than anything :)kaya sabihin nyo sakanya masanay na sha!

question = are you normally that cheesy even with your ex-gf's or it's just for saab?

Cheesy... haaha! well, i've always been sweet i think. But saab probably takes the cake in the sense that i'm the most to her, cuz it comes naturally? If you want something that i'm "most" to her, its probably the most honest. Wala akong tinatago sakanya eh... she's also my best friend :)

question = Hindi ba fun ang LS 125/127? Haha. Good luck sa job hunting!

Depende talaga sa taste mo eh. Ako kasi dein pang som talaga. Thank you!

question = bakit di mo pa pinapakilala si saab sa family mo?

My family has met saab :) they love her.

question = is it true that love is lovelier the second time around?

Even though i tried, i never stopped loving her. So technically its still the first.

question = carlos: brother mo ba talaga si robi domingo of pbb?

Nope. My brother is Miguel, he's older and lives in the US. He is missed

question = Favorite tambayan ninyo? Yihee

Strawberry Fields forever!

question = hi carlos your so honest! just wanted to let you know that we like you a lot for saab

Thank you. My relatively new policy in life: if you have to lie about it. DON'T DO IT. :)

question = anong company niyo carlos? :)

Whiskey Hill! Cuz no one does it better!

question = what does whiskey hill mean? bakit yun pinangalan niyo? its nice!

Well, yun yung unang-unang hill na skinate namin.

question = How much do you love Saab?=]

I don't think its quantifiable. like the universe, it expands exponentially every second :)

question = carlos, do u know any justine domingo?

Nope. heheheh

question = seems like you love saab a lot :)

That, my good friend would be an understatement :) pero oo.. a whole lot.

question = carlos did you give saab anything na? :) gifts? etc? sorry if this is a stupid question :D

I don't think there are any stupid questions, just stupid answers, so ako dapat ang magsorry kung meron akong mga ganun.

yes i have. i gave her a bunch of stuff na eh. like small things. but wait for it ;)

question = carlos, na meet mo na family ni saab? if not yet, excited ka ba?

Nope, and yes i am, very. :)

question = ano height mo carlos?

I'm 5'10-5'11. Lumiit ata yung dad ko kaya lang ako nagmukang 5'11. hahahah

There you gO!

So there, first set of questions. The others will be answered at a different time so stay tuned and keep em coming. You guys are fun to talk to :) Peace!

SHOOTS

Tuck in, tuck out

just for fun. what my full tuck looks like.

tucking makes things go faaaast :D

Beep, beep!

Two things for three of you who read this blog!

First, there's going to be a big skate session on April 22, 2008. That's earth day for all of you didn't know, and a bunch of us are going to get together in UP to hangout and skate to push for skateboarding as an alternative form of transportation. I know its not as feasible in the Philippines as it is in other parts of the world but even a little helps. So if you skate, or want to skate, or just want to make a stand and celbrate with us on Earth Day, come on along. Its an international event. In different cities all over the world people are going to hangout and document each of their earthday sessions!

Second, skate tayo sa UP ngayun Sunday ng hapon! hahaha yay!

Shoots!

BBQ!

Aright, BBQ's are fun. I just came from my good friend Pat's house. Started grilling at like 5 and i left at around 12:30 and they were still at it. Missed the pretty girl a lot. :)

Why do i think BBQ's are great? Well, i'm not really the club person anymore. I don't wanna pay to get into an uncomfortably packed place only to pay even more money for overpriced beer/food. Aside from that, the music they play isn't even that great. I'm not really big on dancing anyway, nor am i that into socializing. so yeah, i'd rather chill out by a pool and fire up the grill. Good free food, i get to pick what i listen to, and it isn't a sardine can!

One thing i miss doing is like watching a band play live. There's something about good live music that's just crazy. thank god i'm watching Modest Mouse in May. woot woot.

Riot Van

I haven’t skated in like a week and I’m pretty bummed about it. Not like depressed bummed but more like, I know I should be riding more and I’m not so I feel a little guilty. The sun is finally out and I haven’t taken advantage of it. What can I do, the last fucking week everyone was out of town. Aside from that my favorite spot in the city was on lock, so I wasn’t really itching to skate all that much. There’s this one really nice spot in Timog I’ve been raring to hit, I just always get kicked out by the guards. One day though, I will get my revenge.

the truth about being sober

I’ve been sober for two and a half weeks now. No alcohol at all. I know, for a lot of people that should be easy, but for me it’s monumentally hard. I’ve pretty much spent the last half-decade of my life neck deep in beer. I don’t mean this in an alcoholic way; I’d say I just enjoy a drink more than the average guy. Besides that, it’s also in my circle. All my friends drink and the only person I know who doesn’t is my dad, and that’s because he’s allergic.

It’s very scary to think about not drinking again. I’ve had so many good times drunk with friends. One thing I have in common with most of my very good friends is actually our penchant for being stupid. Alcohol helps us achieve this goal in a much shorter, less embarrassing (while you’re doing it) manner. I remember times in Luis’ house in San Francisco when the two of us would just get drunk and shoot empty bottles in the yard. Or like that time I got my nickname, Kaklus. Fuck, see, those things are fun in themselves, but is actually more fun when you’re drunk. I’m sure there are a thousand things I’m going to miss about drinking (and a thousand and one I’m not), but at the end of the day I know it should be worth it. No more hangovers, no drunk driving, and a lot less really dumb mistakes (Jack and Jaeger do not go together).

The truth about being sober, at least in my case, is that it’s surprisingly enjoyable. Yeah, I do miss a lot of things you can only find at the bottom of the bottle, but these things I don’t need. For a time I was worried about losing my self because drinking had been a big part of me, but later on I realize that it was just dumb to think that. Though I was a drinker, that’s not who I am, its not what I want to be. It was only part of what I did.

We’ve had some awesome time’s there amigo. But I’m looking forward to what I know will even be better times. I’ll see you around.

Cheers!
