I was chatting with Bbboy the other night, and today I found some photos of my and my high school classmates on Facebook, and I realize that I miss them so much. We will be having our 10 year reunion this year, and I am excited. Before I had my Sequel boys, BoyzTrek boys, DotA boys, poker buddies, Bes, and exes turned bestfriends, I had Tiani and Joey, Neil, Bbboy, Patrick and JJ, and the rest of my high school Tech stream classmates. Though we haven't seen each other in a while, and they probably don't know what the hell I am doing right now, I'm sure that they will always, and I mean always, be there for me. Anytime I need somebody to talk to, a shoulder to cry on, or just a drinking buddy, I'm sure I can count on them to be there. If only most of them still lived in Davao. And yes, I miss the girls too... Mimi, Kim, Ronnie, and Rhoda. They're not really girls though. Like me, they were raised and toughened by being around guys too much. These guys have seen the best (I think) and worst of me, the mood swings,…

I Love Taylor Swift
Aside from the reason that Taylor Swift sang "You Belong With Me," I love her because of this... LOL! She is such a good sport. And she fell really hard... wearing those high stiletto boots thingers. That was totally something that Kuya Andrew would do. And he vowed he'd do that to me one day. :-& Belated Happy Halloween!!! :)
A Letter So That People May Know
Dear Person, Please don't give me anymore reason to spew out more truths about you or to name who you are because we both know very well you have nothing against me. While I, I have every ammunition there is. Please stop acting like we are the ones making you "api." Coz nobody is buying your b*llshit. A lot of people have witnessed first hand how much of an asshole you are and how unprofessional you are. Not to mention an attention whore who loves hogging all the credit. I have always wondered why you don't have permanent friends, and love to cling to people who obviously don't enjoy hanging out with you all that much. NOW I KNOW. You think the lies you have spread about me won't reach me? I'm sorry to tell you, my influence and radar reaches far and wide, even if I don't try. Yes, I might have found you annoying and yes, might have even hated you from the start. But I have never disrespected you, never acted out of spite against you, and never even spoke in public about it. Because I know our personal rift is not for the public to know…
I Want to be a Celebrity Poker Player
Hello there! I have a new dream... to be a celebrity poker player. Why? Because I know I know I'm a pretty good poker player but don't have enough bankroll and not enough time to invest to become a really good professional poker player. But I do want to play in the big tournaments. How you ask? By being a celebrity poker player. Why? You ask again. Because I am really poker enthusiast, and I even blog about it. How much more enthusiastic can one be? I actually work for two poker clubs. Simultaneously. Another reason why I want to be a celebrity poker player? Endorsements. Endorsements = money = bankroll. Also schwag... HEHE! Tignan niyo naman... I'm not bad looking, right? And I have quite a good following via my blogs and I am a very active social media user... Twitter, Facebook, Plurk, YouTube... name it, I have an account which I actively use. So if you're my sponsor, you get more than enough mileage. LOL! Plus, I'm a girl. A girl with big boobs. So I do attract some attention everytime I play. And yeah, I've actually won a major tournament... and have joined a lot of others.…
Statement on MindanaoBloggers.com
This is to inform the public that I, Maria A. Jose, am formally dissociating myself from the MindanaoBloggers.com organization. I have been inactive as an organizer for the following events of the organization: DFAT 2009, WordCamp Davao 2009, WordCamp Philippines 2009, and Mindanao Bloggers’ Summit 2009 for professional reasons. While I still share the advocacy and ideals with which the organization was founded upon, I feel that it is no longer possible for me to work with the organization. I, however, shall continue promoting Mindanao and its peoples through my blogs and other works.
Julie and Julia… and Me
Just came from watching Julie & Julia, based on the book with the same title by Julie Powell. Needless to say, I love it. It's not about cooking and baking. But love and passion. I can so totally relate to the movie... with cooking, baking, and blogging all in one movie. But I'm sure a lot of people will also love it and can relate to it. Both Julia Child (Meryl Streep) and Julie Powell (Amy Adams) both dedicated themselves to cooking not for the sake of cooking, but because of love. They were both passionate about different things. While focused on different things, their passions brought them to food and cooking. I share their passion. Passion to cook and bake, to serve the best there is to the people who matter to me. I've been told (more than once, sad to say) that I am addicted to baking and cooking. And I am. I am addicted to making the delicious pastries and meals. And I am passionate about writing and blogging, as well. And I was able to relate to Julie saying that she might have ADD. Coz I feel like I am like that sometimes. Interested and wanting…
