My first post here in my blog using the vernacular language of ours. At hindi biro ang magsulat sa hindi ko masyadong nakasanayang wika. There could be some people who might say wrong, but I don't care. Mas importante sa akin kung ano ang nasa puso't damdamin ng isang manunulat kaya ka nakakapagsulat. Am I right, ladies and gentlemen? Here are some of the nerve-wracking occasions that happened this week na siguradong ikaloloka ng lahat, lalo na ako!
BREAK IT DOWN, YO! - Hindi ako marunong mag-rap, at kahit kailan hindi ko pinangarap ang maging the next Andrew E. or Eminem or even Francis M. This week, nag-break down ako dahil sa mga bagay na hanggang sa mga oras, at araw na ito, ay nalilito pa rin ako. Noong una, tuwang tuwa ako sa isang bagay na ni minsan, hindi ko man lang naisip na mangyayari sa akin, pero noong nasa harap na siya, may puntong gusto ko ng umatras. Hindi ko alam kung ano ba talaga ang dapat? Minsan, naisip ko rin kung tama ba ang desisyon ko? Marahil mali, siguro tama, wala ring magsasabi kung tama nga ba o mali! Pare called me last Tuesday at doon ko sinabi kung anong nararamdaman ko. Sa sobrang galing niyang magpaikot-ikot kung para malaman ko lang kung ano ba talaga, napaisip ako. Mali nga ba ang sinasabi kong "tamang panahon?" O tama talaga ang desisyon kong sumuong sa isang bagay na wala pa akong kaalam-alam. Aaminin kong ito talaga ang aking "passion," pero sa tingin ko, hindi pa ngayon ang tamang panahon! Tama rin si pare, naniniwala siyang magiging masaya ako sa "career" na napili ko, pero may malaking pagkakamali, ang tungkol sa tamang panahon kung kailan ko siya dapat abutin. Nandiyan na, wala ng bawian! Susubukan ko ang isang taon? Ewan ko lang kung may magandang mangyayari ba sa akin doon, sana maraming magaganda at kaunti lang ang panget. Eh paano kung baligtad? Kinabukasan, nag-text ako kay pare, sinabi ko ang totoong dahilan kung bakit ako nag-break down... Salamat sa iyo, pare, sa napakahabang reply. Wala akong natanggap na tawag, ni text message from you! Simula sa Lunes, May 2 (parang teleserye lang), ang bagong kabanata sa aking buhay na bilang isang guro ay magsisimulang muli. Paano kaya ang magiging ending nito? Abangan...
BIGOTILYO - Sa buong buwan ng Abril, naisip kong may gawin sa aking buhay na hindi ko pa nagagawa maski pa noon. Noong isang taon, ginusto kong magpakalbo, at natupad naman! Ngayong taon na ito, sinubukan kong magpahaba ng bigote at balbas. Balak ko nga sana, until May or June at gusto kong makita kung ano ba talaga ang magiging hitsura ko. Naisip ko ang isang artista na may ganito ring hitsura, pero siyempre, mas angat siya, si Dingdong Dantes (you might say, ang kapal ng mukha!). Oo, makapal na sa makapal, pero siya lang ang naisip ko. Maraming natuwa, maraming nairita, maraming narumihan sa hitsura ko, pero kibit-balikat lang ako! Pero may napapansin na rin ako, nagmumukha na akong "goons" sa mata ng ilan! May nagsabi na ring kamukha ko na ang nasirang Paquito Diaz. Kaya ngayon, Abril 30, 2011, tinapos ko na ang maliligayang araw ng aking bigote at balbas. Pagkatapos ng lahat ng pagse-shave, in fairness naman, mas okay pala talaga ang hitsura ko kapag walang balbas at bigote! Pakiramdam ko tuloy, bagong Ziegrey Balota ang nakikita ko sa salamin! May ganoon?
AJ PEREZ'S LAST PERFORMANCE - Ngayong oras na ito, nanonood ako ng isang pagtatanghal ng Maalaala Mo Kaya, at sobra akong kinikilabutan dahil ito na ang pinakahuling pagtatanghal ni AJ Perez. Kung iisipin mo, halos dalawang linggo na siyang wala sa ating piling pero ramdam na ramdam pa rin ang kanyang "presence." At the early age of 18, hindi mo lubusang maiisip na wala na siya! Sobrang nakakalungkot. At dahil drama ang MMK, naghahalo ang lahat ng emosyon: galit, lungkot, panghihinayang, at higit sa lahat, pag-asa. Pag-asa na sana'y hindi malimutan ninuman si AJ.
THE ROYAL WEDDING - Naisulat ko na dito sa aking blog ang tungkol sa The Royal Wedding nina Prince William at Kate Middleton (na ngayo'y Duke and Duchess of Cambridge). Napanood ko ito kahapon sa bahay ng aking mahal na kaibigan (pero natigil din dahil mas ginusto pa nilang kumanta sa videoke, wala namang may gustong kumanta!) at sobrang nakakakilabot din! Parang isang "fairy tale done in real life" ang kasalan nila! Simple lang ang "wedding gown" ni Kate, hindi tulad ng ibang mga "bride" na may magandang disenyo at sobrang "lavish!" Iba ang seremonya ng kasalan nilang dalawa, hindi tulad sa nakasanayang kasalan sa mga Katoliko. May pagbabasbas pa rin, tulad ng sa Katoliko pero punum-puno ng mga pagbabasa mula sa "Holy Bible." Walang singsing na isinuot kay Prince William, sa kadahilanang hindi ko alam. Napakasimple, ngunit napakamakasaysayan! Ako kaya, kailan makakaranas ng ganyang klaseng kasalan...
ANNE CURTIS KAPAG OFFCAM SA ASAP - Napanood ko sa Youtube ang isang pagtatanghal na ginawa ng aking pinakamamahal na si Anne Curtis! Habang offcam (ito yung time na kapag commercial sa ASAP), kumakanta ng mga matataas na kanta si Anne. Kilala kasi siya sa pagiging "frustrated singer," at medyo "off-tone" o sintunado ang boses. Nakakahiya man, pero totoo! Ang mga kantang kanyang laging kinakanta ay ang "Total Eclipse of the Heart," na may aria pa sa huli, "Alone" at "It's All Coming Back To Me Now!" At aakalain niyo bang magkakaroon na siya ng sarili niyang album soon! Ewan ko kung bibilhin ko ito, hindi ko alam at baka hindi ako matuwa! Sa bagay kung ang iba nga hindi masyadong marunong kumanta o hindi talaga nakakakanta, ay may album, siya pa! Hihintayin ko rin ang kanyang "concert" sa taong 2020.
Ito lang naman ang mga nangyari ngayong linggong ito. Hopefully ang susunod na linggo ay mas maganda pa at talagang ikalu-look forward ng lahat, at isa na ako doon!
Toodles!!!
Hello, School Year 2011-2012 (last year na ba, hindi ko alam???)

The Royal Wedding
Wedding is one of the most significant celebrations of a person. You might say that this occasion could be very elaborate, lavish and of course, splurgy. But for two people who are bound to become together forever, there is nothing wrong for the expenditures, foods, guests, gowns and so much more.
Today, April 29, 2011, marks the most historical event of the said year, and this is the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Almost one billion people are very excited to see watching a momentous event on television and of course, Great Britain. Honestly, I really don't understand why our country, the Philippines, is also excited with these event. History speaks that we never had any connections with England before, though they had tried acquiring the country from the Spaniards. For younger generations, including myself, we would like to encounter and experience a wedding that is considered an extraordinary, exceptional and of course, royal.
Who would have thought that a royal-blooded celebrity in the person of Prince William, the son of Prince Charles of Wales and the late Lady Diana Spencer, would romantically fall in love with her best friend, a commoner Kate Middleton. According to Wikipedia, in British law, a commoner is someone who is neither the Sovereign nor a peer. He or she came from an ordinary family, who has no relation to any of the monarchs in Britain or in other countries. In the case of Catherine, she is only a commoner whom Prince William have known her from the school and fell in love, broke twice, then came back again and now, they are married and still totally and wonderfully in love with each other.
According to some, the last time the whole world witnessed a royal wedding was in 1981 between Prince Charles and then Diana Spencer. Though their marriage has lots of intrigues and controversies, the idea of a royal wedding was in full swing. A commoner girlfriend will be getting married to a crowned prince, that's really absurd! Their marriage did not last for long and Diana, Princess of Wales died due to car accident in Paris on 31st August, 1997. Prince Charles married his first love, Camilla Parker-Bowles, who was also a commoner.
Hopefully they could read this post of mine, and I could greet them congratulations and best wishes and try to make their family royally and peacefully, as what most of the people are also wishing for them. Congratulations, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!

A Holy Brouhaha (no pun intended!!!)
Today is Holy Wednesday, and most of the people working in some corporate offices or wherever is their last day for this week. Most of the people are now heading towards their chosen vacation spots or probably their provinces to celebrate the divinity of the Holy Week. Some malls and other establishments are closed, preferably for their maintenance procedures and some sort ofs, even the LRT and MRT are also closed starting tomorrow until Sunday. And for me, I should do the same thing. Since 2006, I've been doing a hiatus (just a hiatus, I know it has such a big meaning!) of not using Internet for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Black Saturday. This has been a tradition for me, I know its simple but it makes me feel a good Christian. So before I sign-off for this Holy Week, let me give a round up of some of the nakakalokang brouhahas of mine this past few weeks!
THE BEGINNING - I already started my stay in the Special Education department at our institution. They welcomed me as if it was my first year of teaching with them. The whole thing is totally new to me. It was going to be a total transformation and adjustment from teaching in the regular school to the Special Education. Good thing, my "pards" is with me in exploring their world. I hope that my decision of going there, as what my "pare" is so scared for me to happen, is correct and certified! Right now, I'm working on my very first foray of doing an Individualized Educational Program or the dreaded (that's according to them) IEP. Man, it is way too different from the UBD format of our lesson plan! This is much of a headache. But goodly, I can manage to do it. I'm now into the finishing touches. Began last week, I was now with the Primary class to just make a rounds of observations and with it, I can able to do it. Next week, I will be with the Intermediate class, which I'm praying I wanted to be included in. And after this, the dream that I am wanting to since before!
THE WORD "BREAK" - If you hear the word "break," what comes to your mind? Some say, one object broke into two or more than two pieces. Some people might say, not anymore together. Last week, I was really moved with what my dear friend shared to me about the L word. He was really into tears when we were talking about it. I don't want to elaborate more since the issue is really messy and uncomfortable to share, but he is truly, madly, deeply in love with the girl. I never thought that he was going to share it to me, though I have an idea about it. It all started with a text, saying that he doesn't want to go to work because of this reason. I was totally in awe, because his text message is different from the text messages I normally receive from him. Then the whole conversation pushed through. Actually, this was not the first time I became a "Love Doctor," some of my dear friends who has flourishing love life and relationship with their guys and girls also became my customers. I don't know where all those things that pops out of my mind come from, but I know for a fact that I am their friend! Right now, this good friend of mine is now coping with the situation he has right now. He even mentioned me on his blog (well, thank you for that, really appreciate it!) by being a lending ear to him (even though we didn't talk about through phone but through texting!). And through his text messages I receive every time, I think that slowly he is moving on but surely. I know that you can find a new and better person that is to be loved and beloved. But I also believe that this could be just a test because I know you really love her, all throughout!
AJ PEREZ - This is really a total shocker! Last Palm Sunday, AJ Perez, only 18, fatally died due to a tragic car accident in Tarlac. The news came to me through watching DZMM Teleradyo and I thought that it is only a namesake, but it is not! It is really true, AJ Perez is now dead. I only saw him last Thursday in Cinema One as one of the guests but then, this is reality, so shocking! I remember him in his last work on ABS-CBN, Sabel and he was really good there. Sayang talaga! He was one of the young actors who haven't had a huge chance or opportunity.
SUMMER IS SO HERE - The most hated season of mine is now finally happening. I thought that April will have a chilly night and a summery day, but no. This week, the humid temperature already started and I really, really hate it! I don't like sticky feeling because of the sweat, and also having body odors, or yucky perspiration. Sorry for those summer worshipers, but this season is my least favorite.
UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES, DILIMAN!!! - Sounds familiar, don't you??? I wanted to try my luck in the national university. I wanted to try studying SpEd here, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to catch their deadline because it is already dead, I mean finished! The next schedule, which is now for the 2nd semester is on July to September of the current year! And their requirements, it is heaven!!! They need three recommendation letters from a former professor and a current employer, then I need an original copy of my OTR (or TOR to some), birth certificate and more. And a P500 admission test fee! Yes, it is only for the admission test, what if I didn't pass, so goodbye to those things! Aaargghh!!! It is only a plan, and I hope I could able to achieve this. My dear buddy wants to study in Ateneo and my other buddy wants to study in La Salle, so why not for the three of us, known to be The Big Three of BSECAE 2008 will study on the three of the best universities in the Philippines!!! Why not???
HOW WILL BE YOUR HOLY WEEK? - Tradition has it that every Maundy Thursday (the dates of the Holy Week changes annually depends on the Vatican, that's what I know...), we always go to the Grotto at San Jose del Monte in Bulacan. First, we hear the mass at the church and after that, we will be heading at the Calvary Hill to pray for the 14 stations of the cross. Then we will eat our lunch, then heading back to where we live. Good Friday, just at home, watching the Seven Last Words and before three in the afternoon, you have to take a bath or else, something might happen. Then we will join the procession courtesy of our church. Black Saturday, it was either we will stay overnight at the El Shaddai in Parañaque or join the Easter Vigil at our church. Before, I really don't like celebrating Holy Week because there's no favorable programs on TV. Good thing, we have cable TV but it is senseless! But now, as I become older and more mature, I know the real meaning of the observance of the passion, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! We should be sensitive and at the same time, reflective for what Jesus have done to all of us, gracing up His own life and saving us from sins. This year, we will be doing Visita Iglesia, making rounds to different churches here near our place. Then we will listen to the Seven Last Words at our church, then on Black Saturday, we'll try to join the Easter Vigil, though the time is not yet sure if it is midnight or early morning. Again, Holy Week is not just a vacation with a family or friends or having sun bathing, drinking or a lot after a long day of work in the office or where else, but the real meaning of it is to know the fatal hardships of Jesus Christ!
Let's have a remarkable Holy Week! Drive safe, pray hard and of course, act maturely! This is what our Lord Jesus Christ wants us to do!!!
I love you Lord!!! I love you God!!! I lift my hands to You!!!
Toodles!!!

(I'm still in love but all I heard was...)
This beautiful but heartbroken-toned song was created by the brains of my favorite band, the superband from Dublin called The Script. Yesterday, April 16, 2011, was their concert here in Manila, live and alive and sadly, I wasn't able to see them live and alive. I know what I feel, unfortunate and helpless! Now here's a song from them that is really catchy (hey, this song caught me because of its lyrics and this is for my good friend of mine whose having a predicament, worriment, botheration and a quandary about the L word!!!) Anyways, here's Nothing!!!
NOTHING by The Script
Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her
As they take me to my local down the street
I'm smiling but I'm dying, trying not to drag my feet
They say a few drinks will help me to forget her
But after one too many, I know that I'm never
Only they can’t see where this is gonna end
They all think I'm crazy, but to me it's perfect sense
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around
And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing
So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences
I know if I faced her face, that she'll come to her senses
Every drunk step I take leads me to her door
If she sees how much I'm hurting, she'll take me back for sure
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around
And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing
She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
Oh, I got nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Ohh, sometimes love's intoxicating
Ohh, you're coming down, your hands are shaking
When you realize there's no one waiting
Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around
And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing
She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
I got nothing
I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Ohh I got nothing
I got nothing
Nice song right??? Thank you The Script for giving us a one-helluva-brokenhearted song!!! Toodles!!!

92 Truths About Me
Since I'm no longer using Facebook as a source of my brouhahas, much better if I will put it here in my blogsite. I'm going to tell you ninety two truths about me. I was thinking, why not making it 100, just like the famous "A Hundred Truths About Me!"
NAME: Ziegrey Oris Balota
AGE: 23
BIRTHDATE: August 31st, 1987
PRESENT ADDRESS: Block 24A Lot 3... (why should I give you my present address???)
WHAT WAS YOUR:
1. last beverage = Purified water, the more the water is cleaner, the better
2. last phone call = Yesterday, it was Sir Phil
3. last text message = Miss Adona, my loving friend...
4. last song you listened to = right now it's Tayo Na by KC Concepcion, earlier it was Nothing by The Script
5. last time you cried = last Monday, and it was so nothing, just a waste of tear!
HAVE YOU EVER:
6. dated someone twice = Never had a chance! :(((
7. been cheated on = Never had a chance too!!!
8. kissed someone & regretted it = Never had a chance three!!!
9. lost someone special = Recently, a good friend way back college...

A Good Friend
 |
| Sir Phil and I at California Berry Aguirre |
This would probably be one of our last photos together. Yes, my dear pare, Mr. Martin Philip Alcantara will soon leave us (especially me) and go to his calling. I can't explain it, but for him, it is God's will and instruction for him to do.
It is a common, a cliché, a passé, a repeater to say good and bad things for him. I don't like to create this as a tribute for him. He's only going and staying in Catanduanes, that's like a stone-throw away from Manila (of course, it's a joke!) but to our latest technologies in communications, he's only a one-text and/or one-call away.
I never thought Sir Phil (his students call him "Sensei," and he's not Japanese, he just wants it!) will be one of my best friends in my whole life. I called him as my "conscience" with every word his speaks out to me, it would really be a good counsel. Whenever I try asking him (I only try because whenever I ask him, he's giving me solutions but in a grunting way) about something, rest assured with Lord's beautiful grace, you would know the best. I remember the night of round table discussion-turned-reflection and redirection meeting with him at Pergola. Yes, we had a little cute fight/misunderstanding (just kidding) about my decision but I know he uttered those words because he was really concerned about me. He knew why I should be really conscious and of course, responsible with the decisions that I was doing and making. Then we went straight to Figaro, that night, to continue our discussion and he shared some inspirational words, that I should reflect and use for my decisions.
We also had real misunderstandings, but for me, it is just nothing. It is just that I don't take it seriously, I'm not the person who likes confrontations and silent fights. We were not talking for five days. He was really upset on me, I know that. I really wanted to talk to him that time, but there's no perfect timing for it. I remember that time when we were about to go to Festival Supermall, he said that he really (really) needs to go home. Without further explanation, I assumed he doesn't want to come around because I was there. I really felt that strongly! The very next day, he tricked me and said sorry to each other.

I never had a chance to talk to him about what I feel right now. He might scold me, I get really scared. Scared because he might showed me the truth and felt the rejection. But I know, coming from him, it would hit me directly and cleanly.
When can I see you again, my dear "pare!" Trust me, we'll visit you there in Catanduanes, just text us right away!!!
I will surely, maximally, undoubtedly, perfectly, certainly, absolutely miss you to forever, pare!!!
Till soon!!!
Toodles!!!

I Feel Blah... I Really Feel Blah... I Think This Summer Will Be Blah...
I really hate staying at home doing nothing... I wanted to just have fun but I don't have anyone or anything to make me feel funny! I'm staying at home, waiting for a nice thing to happen but yes, nothing happened today.
I think my summer vacation will just be only a so-so vacation. Nothing so special will happen, just at home, waiting for a nice show to watch and then go outside to use the net, since we don't have a connection at my home, and then doing nothing in front of this computer.
What do I feel this, I really wanted to do this things so that I could be very, very happy!
HAVING FUN WITH MY DEAR FRIENDS - But they are not affirming for my invitation. I told my BFF Imee Blanco if she could join us next week for our get together with Rezzy, Mark and hopefully Kenneth but she's not sure. I asked my pards Sir Yuan if he wants to go to Bonifacio High Street, but he said he's so far from that place. I'm asking my pare, Sir Phil if he is okay to watch IMAX on April 7, but he said, he is so busy, he's making the most of his time with his loved ones not only us. I'm asking Kenneth if he wants to join me in my very first trip to Baguio but he doesn't want, I really, really feel he doesn't want. Haist... All I want from you guys is to have you. So sad :(((
NO CONNECTION AT ALL!!! - Damn you, PLDT myDSL!!! I've already settled my accounts on you, you actually had a wrong billing statement and then suddenly, no connection! I've already had the newest modem, but still, no connection! Where on earth will our money be going? Will you please make your services to us more manageable and correct!
SHOPPING AT DIVISORIA - Why do I miss the haven for shopping cheap goods? The last time I've been to this place was February and I didn't buy anything there. My mother is asking for a shopping date but I'm not sure when could that be? We'll try once again using the PNR train from Alabang to Tutuban, it's cheaper, it's more accommodating and most of all, it's train!
ENROLLMENT BLUES - Yes, starting this year, I am going to enroll and study for my Master's. I can't wait to study the love I am going to do in the future. But I feel, I'm not yet fully equipped! I still have to buy a laptop because I need to use it every so often when I started studying. I need to buy books, probably all about Special Education. And if there's so much time, I could go to some seminars regarding Special Education. I really wanted to go to my brother's school because they'll be having a seminar but I'm not sure with the date and time, since starting May, I need to focus on my stay in the Special Education Department. So on the second week of April, I barely need to move!!!
BAGUIO - And of course, one of my dreams (aside from teaching SpEd) will be pursued sometime this summer. I am going to Baguio with my loves Marky and Cacai. I don't know if Kenneth, Imee and the rest of the gang will be going there? I need to save up my pay so that I could use it in my three-day, two-night stay in the City of Pines. I've heard that Baguio isn't anymore enticing to some unlike before, but, hey, it's Baguio so who does care with the hearsays! I need to bring a lot so I could shop in their famous ukay-ukay and bring home so many luscious strawberries! Why not to visit Sagada? I've heard that place was eerie but really amazing! I hope my travel agent and tour guide Cacai will show me the best of the city! And also, I should not forget to visit the three places I am really looking forward to see in Baguio, Lourdes Grotto, Baguio Cathedral and SM City Baguio!!!
Please don't make my summer feel blah!!! I need to do something for my own growth! Hopefully I could have the best of both worlds this summer!!!
Toodles!!!

April Fool's Day and Happy First Day!!!
Finally, the much awaited brouhahas are now here on Blogspot!!!
New home, new posts, new laughters and tears, new emotions, new information, new ways of writing, new thoughts and ideas, new quotable quotes and so much more new!!!
I don't know how to start. Probably because after so many writings on my previous blogsite (which happens to be Facebook), I really have no idea what should I write. I don't know how to write the things happened this week. I may know that brouhahas are about the things that happened on me, on our community, on our school, on our country, on our planet and on our universe (if there's such things) this past week. But for my own understanding and memory, nothing special happened this week (aside from the saying farewell to so many!)
I have so many friends who have been owning blogsites, and most of them are really interesting to read and contemplate. Some of them are written in hardcore English and some of them were about showbiz "chikas" or anything about the celebrities. My blogsite may be like it, but I don't care!
Today is the first day of my blogsite. I hope (I really do hope and pray) that there will be some people might be interested in reading the posts that I'm going to read, might have time to catch the latest happenings on our lives and also, might be the source of their talks.
Let me start my brouhahas by saying the famous words that only me, myself and I could use in ending a certain post.
Toodles!!!
See you in most of the time!
