The Bar Uno Comedy Bar Experience: A Test and a Fulfillment


Written on January 28, 2009 – 8:08 am | by shenbrood

Bihira akong makapag enjoy ng night life sa Manila. Una dahil hindi naman ako tagaroon kundi taga Bulacan at pangalawa syempre hindi naman biro din ang pumunta sa mga ganitong lugar dahil mapapagastos ka talaga. Despidida ng aking kaibigang si Henry Sta. Maria noong araw na yoon kaya nakasama ako nila. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang mangyayari. Pagdating sa Bar Uno na located sa West Ave. ay akala namin ay puno noong una subali’t nagpapainit pa lang pala ito. Unang nakasalang bilang host doon si Twinkle. Nang pagpasok ay nag English na sila sa akin kaya sabi ng isa naming kasamahan ay pangatawanan ko daw. At yun nga ang ginawa ko na sa bandang huli ay napangiti na lang ako sa mga pangyayari.

Magagaling ang mga hosts ng Bar Uno syempre andun si Twinkle, si Betong na magigi ng mainstay ng Unang Hirit, si Boobsie at syempre si Vanessa. Si Vanessa ang pinakakakaiba sa kanilang lahat sapagka’t isa itong unano. Sa totoo lang hindi ko kayang makita ang kalagayan ni Vanessa na nagiging tampulan ng biro ng mga host at minsan ay iwinawasiwasiwas na lang. Pero mabuti na rin yun kasi kahit papaano ay may trabaho sya… anyway comedy bar naman yun.

Lahat ng hosts ay tinatawag ako at kinakausap. Si Vanessa pa nga ay lumapit at nagrequest ng kiss na pinagbigyan ko naman. Mahiyain ako sa totoo lang pero sa dami ng karanasan ko sa pagiging isang leader ay wala na sa akin yun. Si Boobsie ay ganun din na halos ihiga ako sa kanyang malalaking bumper at nagbobounce pa.

Pinaka di ko makakalimutan ay ng kinailangan na nilang magperform kasama ang audience. Nagsipili ng mga kapartner ang mga hosts at ako ang napili ni Boobsie. Follow the leader ang gimik ng grupo kung saan susundin ng kapartner ang host. Simple lang ang mga simulang ginawa at ng sa amin na ginawa ko na lang ang ginagawa ni Boobsie ng walang pag-aalinlangan. Sa huli ay parang naging strip show ang kinalabasan na kung saan ay nahubaran ako sa bar pwera na nga lang ng taanggalin ko na pantalon ko sapagka’t hinarangan na nya.

Siyempre ang audience ang magdedecide kaya ng dumating sa amin ay walang pag-aatubiling sumang ayon ang lahat. Nanalo ako ng 2 packs ng Lucida-DS whitening soap na naiwan ko sa Manila. At syempre pagkatapos noon ay may Tequila Body Shot. Si Boobsie ang naunang magbody shot at pinili nya yung dibdib ko… hay nako sa utong pa man din. Pero anu ba ang magagawa kaya sumunod na lang ako.

Nang ako na ang magbobody shot nagrequest ang mga audience na kung saan daw ako binody shot ay dapat doon din si Boobsie. So syempre ayaw pumayag ng host ba babae. Pero dahil sa cheer, kontribusyon at special request ng tao ay dumating din sa punto na ito ay nangyari kahitsa nmadali lang. ANg nakakatawa pa pati si Vanessa na body shot ko rin… hay ok lang buti na lang malakas ang loob ko.

Sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon ay kumanta rin ako sa harap ng maraming tao. Una ay duet sa pamangkit ni Hendy ng kantang Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang at pangalawa ay ang solo performance ng kanta ni Michael V. na “Hindi Ako Bakla”

Masaya, nakakatawa at higit sa lahat isang kakaibang karanasa. Para sa aking kaibigan na si Henry… VON VOYAGE and a HAPPY TRIP!

What Am I Feeling?


Written on November 20, 2008 – 10:42 pm | by shenbrood

Today, I have this weird feeling which I do not understand.  I feel like I am irritated, tired and my head is aching.  Seems like I feel the toll of things and stress on me.  With lots of upcoming happenings, lots of demands and lots of things to do it seems like I am growing tired of doing too many things.  I am getting tired of understanding people… I am just simply burning out…

What am I doing to feel this way?  I do not know but it seems I am getting to that limit of tolerance.

I am the chairperson and project of an upcoming environmental forum in May and we still need to raise 1.8Million+ pesos for this.  I feel that others in the team are not doing enough to raise the needed funds… or possibly I am also not doing enough… why?  Maybe because there is simply more volunteerism than actual compensation for the work specially now that I have lots of responsibilities.

I am one of the organizers of Brotherhood of Destiny (BROOD), an organization which started with just eight people and now we have more than a thousand of members.  Yes, we do have many but only a handful really do scomething or are really active.  I always understand the way things are but whenever you see the status of the organization, the realities in the world and others around you… I feel like there is nothing we can do.

My love life is not smooth.  My heart is confused everyday.  I do not know how long I can endure from the loneliness I am feeling… from the true love and understanding that I want to feel.

I feel like I am a stranger in our house.  I feel alone… I feel so much more and when times like this occur I fear of what I am becoming… I am burning out…  I can’t control the feeling because it just happens.

I Am Still Alive… It’s Just Me Telling a Lesson


Written on October 8, 2008 – 11:13 am | by shenbrood

The fact that I have written my own Death Note just a few days ago does not mean that I like to deceive my friends and fellow members of BROOD. The thing is I want to impart to everyone that life is too short for us to be comfortable and not act while we still can. I want to be close to everyone and feel that indeed together we are making a difference. I would like to send my apology to anyone who had been depressed by the message but I hope that I did convey the message because someday that letter would be true.

Pursuing Your Happyness


Written on May 31, 2008 – 11:50 pm | by shenbrood

How easy it is to pursue what makes you happy? Have you tried to really
find the true thing that makes you happy or have you already found it?

I thought that happyness comes in full but it seems that happyness comes
in bits and pieces. You can be happy and contented with your chosen
path and career but you may not be happy with your love life or you may
be happy with your love life but not with your chosen path and
career… or you may be that rare person who is happy with both.

Love, Pain and Anger


Written on December 30, 2007 – 12:44 am | by shenbrood

Images How would you feel if you love a person so much and then all of a sudden he or she will tell you upfront that it is all over, that he/she is already suffocated and tired of your relationship?  How would you feel after all the hardships and sacrifices that you have given all of these will be told to you on an emotionless way?

I Am Hurt and Tired


Written on December 21, 2007 – 7:01 pm | by shenbrood

I can say that I am fulfilled in my life and I take each day one at a time but what if those people around you keep on pushing you and make you feel that you are just a very bad and inept person?  Each day I am like in a battlefield.. a battle with relationships which I am not so good at.

Tired I remember when Michael Flores and I when we talked about my problems, he simply asked me about what do I really like to do in life.  And I told him that it is to make a difference and then he said that one of the things that I should consider is if relationships are helping me achieve this or not.

Goodbye Sir Teteng Epino!


Written on December 20, 2007 – 12:07 am | by shenbrood

Inspiration           "Inspiration comes to us slowly and quietly… prime it with a little solitude"  These were the word of Brena Ueland which for me is what Sir Teteng Epino had been to me.

          Nang una kong makita si Sir Epino sa LGMC ay hindi kami ganun kaclose.  Nagkakausap, minsan nagpapalitan ng ideas pero hanggang dun lang. Naging teacher ko sya sa mga subjects na marketing at madalas ay niloloko namin sya kasi nga namimis pronounce nya ang ilang mga words pag English na.  Asar din kami kasi sabi namin kakaibang mag grade si Sir Epino at hindi namin alam kung patas nga ba syang mag grade.  Yun ang mga una kong pananaw kay Sir.

The Day I Lost My Mobile Phone


Written on September 24, 2007 – 10:45 am | by shenbrood

Hay naku.. hanggang ngayon tuliro pa rin ako at hindi ko lubos maisip
na mararanasan ko pala ang ganito.  Umaga pa lang may kutob na kasi ako na parang hindi maging ok ang araw ko pero sige lumakad pa rin ako kasi nga importante yung pupuntahan kong meeting at ako raw ang kailangang umatend.  Grabe hindi pa nga ako nag aalmusal at nagtanghaliaan noon kundi sa Cubao na lang sa Jollibee.

Hazing.. good or bad? (comments are welcome and appreciated)


Written on September 5, 2007 – 12:43 am | by shenbrood

What’s on the news lately?

Another death had been witnessed during the past week from a hazing incident.  A death from an initiation rights that is supposed to welcome a new member to an organization which he/she wishes to serve.  But what if that initiation turned out to be your last day on this world as your so called brothers/sisters are the cause of your death?

During my high school days I was being recruited to two fraternities.  Each day they would wait for me at the gate of the campus and entice me to join them so that as they say, "I can be protected".  That time I ask myself, "Protected from what?"  Maybe because of their constant elicitation of
membership I decided to join the first fraternity.  But during the
initiation where I am spanked in the face I readily move out and did
not return.  Why?  For I believe that nobody can insult me physically just because I want to be one with them.  Then because of this constant eliciting again I decided to join the other frat on the condition that my friend will get 75% of the paddle for me.  Well he did but I still suffered major bruises on my butt.  After that well I have new friends, new brothers and new barkada… and as they say I get the chance to do what have been done to me to neophytes.  Isn’t that exciting?
