I know I've been a good kid this year and I have worked my butt off for my goals...
I hope you could grant my wish. A humble Tucson will do but I won't complain if you'll reward me an Everest.
Just so you know, I ask for this so that I could help with house hold errands and stuff. Merry Christmas Santa!

ps.

the van and the car occupies the garage na... parking? dun nalang sa may open field. :p

and oh, wala kaming chimney, pero may 2 exhaust pipes,

pick one kung saan mo ihuhulog ang car keys :p

31 years today, RIP John Lennon. Such an inspiration.

Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me

Let me take you down cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever

I'm currently into mountaineering, though I still haven't got the chance to actually climb one. As a result from trying to be a good son, I insisted to borrow cash from my mom so that I could feel better having to work hard for the things I want. So yeah I'm in deep debt right now, haha. My savings sum up to 2kPesos already... 80% to go! haha.

I just came back from my two-week straight stay in Manila. I had my first taste of having to spend a weekend there. So yeah, it's been a while. The photo above is a preview of where I stay. Yeah, so tamad na to make artsy ones. I became the busy guy. Preliminary period of the semester overwhelmed me, haha. I got pre occupied with school stuff. Well not really, but after I got 7% on that painfully exhausting Botany quiz I never forget to remind myself why I'm here.

Hmmm, I've done lots of stuff already including riding the LRT roundtrip with my acquaintances (careful wordplay, haha) just for the sake of killing time and watching a basketball game at the big dome. I found fascination with different cuisines including Korean and Persian. Just staring outside the window while the rain is pouring eating hummus and pita bread after they suspend classes is a simple joy. I just sorta dread having to eat dinner alone at times. I'm getting used to it, I need to. The peculiarity of the freedom I have in mind.

**I can't wait to move out and settle to my new dwellings >:D hehe

2011-06-03T23:52:00.000+08:00

I was late for today's hang out with my friends. Puro salitang LAST narinig ko, karindi -- or maybe I just don't want to turn the page yet. There were few moments that I spaced out while they shared laughs because I was really trying to dodge the morbidness of looking back at happy times back in high. Then I said to myself that I need to set serious goals na and that I should change my priorities. Sulking won't help me to be who I want to be. It's just a matter of sacrifice.

OUT - external flash for my camera, a vintage timepiece, a moleskin note, a compact digital camera, Bottega Veneta nero intecciato nappa bracelet, a new pair of kicks, to eat at McDo Katipunan, and to at least have an extension of my mom's credit card

IN - manage to survive with my weekly budget, get used to pollution and chores like dropping/picking up laundry and be a street smart by the end of the first semester

To get in the Dentistry program of the university is on the top of my list.

Even if this means I have to give up (take a break lang siguro) my hobbies then so be it.

I'd be devastated if... I can't even say it.

13 days to go before my college send-off!

Euphoric, excited, wishful and carefree to pensive, paranoid, plain nervous and worried to frustrated, stressed and disturbed. These are the moods that has been circulating in my system these past few days especially that my send off is nearing.

Just like the photo, you may think that know what it is but you can be wrong.

Okay it's a flower. lol gets mo na yun.

Oftentimes, people misinterpret a polite gesture for fraudulent intentions though there is a vast distinctness between the two.

Politeness \pə-ˈlīt\ noun
a : showing or characterized by correct social usage
b : marked by an appearance of consideration, tact, deference, or courtesy
c : marked by a lack of roughness or crudities

Fraudulence \ˈfrȯ-jə-lən(t)s\ noun
a: the quality or state of being fraudulentai: characterized by, based on, or done by fraud : deceitful

Source

Even I was once accused of being two-faced. I WTFed. Maybe because it’s how I easily change my demeanor towards two humans at a time but come on, you don’t want to absorb my resentment right? There’s only one solution to this, and to the other misunderstandings. Just be bold, outright, outspoken and just put it down the line. Say what you have to say. In this country though, it can be a problem. Pinoys are so not confrontational. I would appreciate honesty but to some it may appear disrespectful. And here comes politeness and fraudulence. Anlabo na. hahaha.

Just my two cents. ;) Did I made sense? Nakakalasing pala boredom. :))

this is what happens when a photog becomes a tito

2011-05-07T10:14:00.000+08:00

I love the wrongness of the photo above. Setting the color to black and white on my camera and capturing the moment out of focus is spontaneously bizarre.

I'm currently at my grandparents' house and there's a new dog here. I asked for it's name (I do not know whether it's a he or a she) and my Lolo said, there isn't. I asked for other infos and I'm thinking of naming the dog.

What do you think about Olives or Kazemi? Olives came up to my head because it's so tame and calm. The name Kazemi naman because of its wild pattern.

Suggestions? :)

Oh Lord I can't handle crowded places such as public market, etcetera. I just hope I can adapt easily with the populous Manila that I will soon conquer - /i still laugh at my choice of words/. I took the photo above at dampa, which has a market looking area that is much controlled. I don't know why the place is called dampa. Is it because it's like damp? Moist or something? LOL.

Tomorrow, or later, I will make hatid and sundo to my sister because she'll take her admissions exam for high school. I have my hopes up for tomorrow's plans. :)

I shall sleep now. Buona Notte.

We drove off to the memorial park last Sunday morning before my little sister's graduation. I have Ginny and Siggy with me at that time so I got pre-occupied with taking snaps at everything [ see the photo below? that flower was for Lolo Jaime :) ] and Mei suddenly popped in the frame while I was looking in my viewfinder. Had fun shooting at the cemetery, haha.

That's her about sans make-up.

*off topic: Me, my little sister and Mei graduated! Yaaaay! I from high school, Pau from grade school and Mei finished college. Goodluck on the boards Mei! :)

kodakero graduates from high school

2011-03-25T23:08:00.001+08:00

Today was my high school graduation. I managed to endure the heat and conceal sadness as we part ways. After the graduation, I had lunch at home and took a short nap because we will go to another in the afternoon for my mom was the honorable guest. Because of these, I have decided to have my celebration at dinner. Had a solemn one at Friday's. Friday = fasting.

How was your high school graduation? :)

________________________________________

I will go to Manila tomorrow for my mom's alumni homecoming thing. She'll tag me along. *heavy eyelids* Good night!

________________________________________

And yes, she wore this look on my graduation. Eh sa gym lang naman ng school :D

This post was for me, not her. Just trying out Siggy. :)

tomorrow's the graduation na :(

2011-03-24T19:59:00.001+08:00

Tomorrow is the graduation na. :(

My mom will be there tomorrow, I just hope my Dad's there too but he can't come.

On the brighter side, I met Siggy na, thanks TJ! I have included the bottom photos, the left one is Siggy, and the right one is a sample shot. :)

Oh, and my mom gave me a mysterious envelope --- and it's a ticket to Kalibo! Yaaay! Haha.

But I still cant get over the fact that my high school life is gonna end. :(

*wth, inconsistent emotions ko? :P mawawalan ako ng credibility neto eh. haha

REWIND

2011-03-20T20:08:00.000+08:00

I have five days to go before the graduation on Friday. I need to sum up everything that this train missed because of the derailing. ;)

February 12, 2011

My mom and I have thought that I need a break from all the things that has been happening. So, as to anticipate my third pamangkin's birth, I took a weekend off to my hometown, Batangas. Right after coming home from school, I packed my things and waited for Kuya Clet's sundo. On the Saturday morning, I went out of bed at 4am to walk with Kuya Clet and Ate Leslie who was at that time, nine months preggy. I put on my trainers along with Ginny. We walked uphill - darn UPHILL, to Taal Basilica - at the nearby heritage town. We walked around the church several times more and anticipated the sunrise. The walk home was as great.

February 13, 2011

The next day at about 10am, Kuya woke me up and told me that Ate was about to give birth. I washed up a bit and helped put the birth kit at the van. I was so fascinated by how calm they were. Oh well, that's gonna be their third. With Ginny and a pan de sal on different hands, I sat at the passenger seat of the van. We got at the hospital and Ate had a trial labor. The baby came out (is that the appropriate way to say it? haha) at 12.58 PM. I am now a tito to three kids! Josh, Josef, and Jako! These kids are very lucky when I get a job. They're gonna be spoiled! Haha.

I eventually went back to the city after dinner because it was a Sunday and class starts on Monday. It all turned out well and Jako was the perfect thing to keep me going. :)

February 16, 2011

And there was Enzo's birthday! Xai organized the whole surprise thing at the mall and the whole barkada ate afterwards.

February 18, 2011

Upper Left to Right; Dre's had a photo op at the club. My photo with the best dressed people, haha.

Lower Left to Right; Three beautiful seniors smile for me. Boys of Dre's.

The most interesting bit of prom was the after party! Haha. Yes, we got emotional here and there while dancing with fellow mates but we rocked dusk til dawn! Xai hosted and we had a sleepover, minus the sleeping part.

March 1, 2011

Intervention it is. It's the first day of the month and that calls out for our last haircut inspection. On a normal Trigo class prior this day, getting uniform SemiKal haircuts was a spontaneous topic. The girls wore pigtails and they guys were kalbo!

March 5, 2011

Gab hosted a group study for Trigo prior the final exams week. Lovely people from the top class taught me how to deal with my sines and cosines. I got 14 out of 60 kasi nung long test or midterms if that's what they call it, haha. After the session, Gab hooked me up with Sims II Pets. I ended up getting owned by the game. Inangkin na niya buhay ko! Hahahaha.

March 9, 2011

Our coaches organized a game for the graduating players, and that includes me. Playing for the school was a milestone for me.

March 15, 2011

The senior retreat was a blast. I got to experience true reconciliation with people, even for those who did not ask for one. I will surely miss all of highschool. From the cramped locker area to the exhausting trip to the 4th floor.

And these sum up what's been happening. I just cannot explain my thoughts very well right now. Excitement for Siggy on the 24th and Sadness for our farewell on the 25th. T.T

Can't wait to be with you Siggy!

**DISCLAIMER --- Hindi yan yung binili ko for prom. Yan yung pinakapangit na pina-try sakin ni Mei**

In the midst of crisis, Mei asked me if I could withdraw the week's baon for her. Eh sobrang busy ko nga, plus ina-anticipate ko photography 101 namin ni Nikki via skype, tinanggihan ko.

And then *ting, She told me na I could come with her nalang then prepare na for the prom kasi wala na rin syang time next week. Eh the prom is on the 18th na rin so pumayag na ko.

I took a bath, blah, blah, blah...

Naisip ko na yung suit ko from last year nalang gamitin kasi sayang naman $$$ :D. Tinanggal ko yung pants sa garment bag para suit nalang dadalhin ko.

I went to withdraw. blah, blah, blah...

We went to different shops at andaming pina-try sakin ni Mei. Pft. Mejo nawalan na ako ng hope when we decided to look inside People are People. Ayun. May nagmatch rin sa three button suit ko. :D

12 days to go before prom. Diamond peel ulit sa Friday then bibili ako ng shoes and I'm all set! :P

Sa mismong prom day ko nalang ipo-post yung buong wardrobe. :D

December 29, 2010 - My 16th Birthday. :)

I invited the whole barkada on my birthday. I've planned this day for a long time. Wala pa kasi akong birthday celebration na may friend na pumunta. They're always on a vacation or something, December 29 kasi eh - Christmas vacation. Sobrang inanticipate kong magcelebrate with friends na I went back to Manila on the 28th just for this. I just got back here sa Batangas and I will narrate how I spent my super sweet sixteen, haha.


Time	Wednesday, December 29 · 1:00pm - 8:30pm

Location	SM SOUTHMALL

Created By	Rj Rodriguez Balboa

More Info	Meeting Time: 1PM Meeting Place: Cinema 5 area PLAN: 1.45pm at Cinema 5 - Shake, Rattle & Roll XII 5.10pm at Cinema 2 - Dalaw I will provide movie tickets, popcorn, and the dinner after. Just bring yourselves and lots of good vibes! Open to Lé Moks or Dre or whatever we're called. For questions or suggestions, just PM me. Thanks! So excited I ♥ you all, see you there!

This was the invite that I sent my friends through facebook events. So ayun, nakarating ako ng mall around 12.30. I was walking na papuntang stairs (oo, stairs. mas okay yun kesa escalator) para pumunta sa cinema area. Eh may nakita akong mga ulong sabay sabay na nagtago sa peripheral view ko. Tinignan ko syempre. Mga friends ko pala. Nagattempt pang taguan ako, haha. So I joined them sa food court. I waited nalang din dun with the earlybirds. Paunti-unti silang dumami then we went up na. I bought 14 tickets to watch Shake, Rattle and Roll XII. Kahit napanuod ko na yun nung pasko, okay lang. Gusto nila manuod eh. :) Balik kami sa food court para magsnack for an hour before the second movie. So ayun, naghiwahiwalay kami. Sumama ako kina Czarina and Al to buy burgers. Then na-mention ko na I saw this cute remote controlled UFO na nakita ko sa dito sa Batangas. Sinabi ko pag balik ko bibilhin ko yun. After nun, kinain ko syempre yung burger. Tas nagproceed na kami sa Cinema 2. Buti nakahabol sa si Zoe. So 15 tickets for Dalaw. Phew. Sobrang nakakagulat. Hahaha. Laughtrip yung pagka-tactless ni Alessandra de Rossi. After nung movie. Umalis yung iba kong friends kasi ganito ganyan. So sabi ko, meet us at Shakey's nalang for dinner. Ayun pagkapunta namin dun with the rest of the group, di pa daw kami ma-accomodate. Naghintay kami sa labas thinking of other options nang may nakita akong naka-green dress with cropped denim jacket and ankle boots. Si Mei! ~~Pinaalis~~ Pinausod nya yung isang family na nagooccupy ng isang area at ayun. Nagkasya na kami. :)

Mag t-Tweet na sana ako ng may nag-blind fold sakin. Tas ayun. May nagpahid sakin ng stuff na tinikman ko naman. :)) Icing pala. Eh pano kung lason yun. Ehdi patay nako. Hahaha. Inalis ko yung blindfold tas nagkantahan sila ng Happy Birthday. May cupcake sa harap ko. Ehdi naging emotional ako. :)) Hahaha. Kasi naman first party ko yun. Then nakakain na kami. Tas Nagturo sila Jiaan. Nasa labas daw yung isa naming friend. Antagal ko nakatingin sa labas kasi hinahanap ko nga. Pabalik ng tingin ko, yung Shakey's crew nasa harap ko na. They sang Happy Birthday tas nilagay nila sakin yung hat na bumagay naman sa plaid na suot ko. :)) May binigay pa silang bigger cake and toy kingdom na plastic. Nagulat ako syempre. Tas pagka labas ko ng laman nung plastic, yung UFO! Naiyak nanaman ako syempre. Kasi sobrang unexpected. Kainis, nakakahiya sa lahat ng nandon. Sixteen years old na ako tas iiyak pa ko, hahaha. DALAWANG BESES PA! Hahahaha. Inimbita ko kayo para pasayahin ako. Pero yung sobra na umabot sa point na naiyak ako. After dumating yung last pizza, nanginginig pa rin yung kamay ko as in. Sobrang saya ko talaga.

Then punta kami kila Jiaan para magextend ng hang-out pa. :)

Thanks to:

Czarina, Jiaan, Inna and Xai. Jed, Enzo, Ichiro, James, Aldrian, Rexcie, Ryan, Patrick, Ron and Kim. Walang boys boys o girls girls pagdating ka harutan o kulitan. :)) Sobrang napasaya ninyo ako talaga. Thanks for making this first memorable. :") Hindi ko kayo makakalimutan. Ano ba yan, parang ayaw ko na magpasukan. Two months nalang kasi tayo magkakasama. Grad practices na. Ugh. :") I love you all!

my high school clock is ticking

2010-12-14T21:49:00.006+08:00

Three months to go and high school is over. These past few months, or years na ata eh, I have been leaning towards my solid college plan. And that is to attend Pre-Dentistry at the University of the East and hopefully finish Dentistry in six years. I already passed the college entrance exam way early this school year. I am so sure of what I want to be that I do not have a back up plan in hand. One thing is still uncertain for me though. I am pensive if I am ready to face the big city. I am from the south of Manila and it's quite different here. Las Piñas is really tame compared to Manila yet I can't manage to go to the mall alone. Ang hirap kasi tumawid eh. From prep school til today that I am a senior, I have a sundo to and from school. So thinking about the two bus rides to Recto gives me the creeps. If only there is dental school in my area, *sigh. What if they can sense that I am scared and take advantage of my vulnerability? Nako, kung may school bus lang talaga. I'm thinking about creating a back up plan just in case I can't handle it. Pero hindi eh, I won't sacrifice my dreams just for it. Argh. Nalilito na ako. My clock is ticking...

CAVINIANS! Faith, Fight!

I was at varsity training after class today. The boys' team against the girls'. Warm up, laps, floor exercises, ball handling, tune up, etc. We finished sun down. I was happy. We all were. Then coach announced that the semi finals that we are anticipating is over. Apparently, another school was able to catch up making our number 2 position descend. The athletic association only picks the top 2 teams in each bracket, so it's goodbye for us. We never felt defeat though. I myself, believe that our team this year left a legacy for our school. I am certain that the team this year really did change how the opponents think about the Cavinians. Comparing from the first two years of DCCS in the league, it is really different now. It's really upsetting that it was the last, kanina for the boys.

SRS: 3-1

ESS: 3-1

DCCS: 2-2

BA: idk

SFAC: idk

*biglang nagplay Lean On Me sa play list ko, wtf?*

Trying out to be a part of the team was a first for me. I never did show interest into sports before. Inchan, my friend, just encouraged me. I was bemused, really. I have no background in sports and yet I got in. And at the first week of trainings, my athletic deficiency showed. I think of myself as the weakest link. I always ask if I am really a part of the team because I'm bano. When coach heard it, since then he told me that he wouldn't have chose me if I were. And I did my best to catch up. Perseverance is the key. Silently, I really appreciate it whenever my mates call out nice job.

*gets emotional na, hehe :')*

From June 26's first training to November 11's last, I can say that I worked my butt off to make myself feel that I truly deserve my spot. I will never forget my one-on-one sessions with Inchan, Binky and Jeb's "ang galing kuya!", Jer's "nice one Rj!", Frances' nakakagulat na laughter, Don's never ending attempt to teach me how to overhand service, Raymond's corny jokes, Bianca and Chesca's calling me of kuya, Dyan's overflowing support, Louie's utter awkwardness, Al and James' "ang galing mo na", Coach's "i challenge you", Pru's pagmamalupit, Nicole's grace, Yannah's office girl voice, Jhe's mocking of me, walktrip after training with Franco, McDo with everyone and many more of the memories that the team shared. I am more than thankful for that. It wouldn't be like how I play today if it weren't for you guys. The rapport among us team mates that training has built will always be there inside or outside the bounds of the court.

Thank you Coach Jen! Thank you Coach Jovit! Thank You Coach Ryan! Thank you team mates!

vanity or necessity?

Who wants egg pie?, originally uploaded by rjBalboaKodakero.

Who wants ~~damn~~ egg pie?

Well, I just got food poisoned. Haha.

I was at school on Monday and we're just having typical recess. A friend had a whole pie with her. She was selling it. I bought two for the break. My sched after recess was math and then after it, was Lunch. At lunch, I was full with the meals I had and the egg pies. But then, GLUTTONY won me over. I bought another one from her and proudly said "I'm your best buyer huh?" Lunch period was done and I had Home Economics. Everything was going well when Physics came. I started feeling nauseous and all. I excused myself and literally ran to the comfort room, vomited, fixed myself and then back to the classroom (we were at the gym that time pala). I was in that cycle twice. I decided to go to the school clinic and the nurse assisted me. I vomited five more times I think and at that point, I wasn't alone. A friend was also there feeling the same as I did. He apparently ate an egg pie. Then a few minutes came and the girl who sold us the pies was also in vomit mode. The nurse called our parents to meet us at the hospital because if they were to come at school, we probably left anyway.

I got hospitalized for two days I think. Along with two other. Some say that the four other who bought pies experienced LBM and the other two wasn't affected.

To think, I ate three pies! Hahaha. So much for being greedy.

BTW, the one who posed for the photo was a friend who ate a pie too. :D

Last year, I once said that I'd go sporty. So a year after, I went for the try-out held June 26th. I made it until the final screening. Shiz I didn't make it, hence the sad face. :) Later that night, I got a message that the coach wants me to attend varsity training the next day. So after CAT, I changed into my sports clothes. Puzzled, I trained with the team. The day ended and I got in na pala! Wooohoooo! :)

Thanks to my friends who trained me.

Today, I started to write my future.

I am the master of my own fate.

I am the pilot of my own destiny.

I'm fifteen years old and I'm already in my senior year. I think I already learned a lot but I'm still young, I have so much to learn. I'll balance everything from school work to college applications. I'll make sure I do everything that I planned for this year so I won't have any regrets. Next week, I'll submit my UPCAT application. The UPCAT that seemed impossible for me to pass but thanks for motivation and inspiration I will give it a try. Not just a try but with best efforts, hopefully I pass. If I don't, then that isn't for me. Maybe I'm really born as a red warrior. :) I have so much plans after high school but today is as important as the future. I thought about college a lot last summer but it just got me distracted. I'll finish each day and be done with it. I will always put in mind that the future comes one day at a time. Today is important!

"If I don't, then that isn't for me.

Maybe I'm really born as a red warrior. :)"

Ten months from now I will continue the phrase, "I will always remember..." I hope that I'll have a fun, memorable and productive school year so as to prepare myself for the big league.

happy birthday sis :)

Little JA seemed curious what Tito RJ is holding. :)

This is SOOC.

The focus on this one is a little soft. :) What do you think?
