Ito ung pinagkakatiwalaan long Mekaniko.

Si Jansen pala, mekaniko ng Yamaha 3s Shop Angono.

Siya yung tipong mekaniko na kapag may sinabi kang problema sa motor mo, aayusin aayusin with passion. Hindi ung tipong napipilitan lang... Hindi dahil trabaho nya un pero dahil gusto nya talaga ayusin.

Siya din ung tipong kapag meron hindi kayang gawin sa shop, hindi siya ung tipong iiwan ka sa ere na ikaw na bahala maghanap ng mag-aayos.. Sasamahan ka sa alam nyang makakakapag ayos nun.

Pero kamakailan lang, pagbalik ko sa Yamaha Angono. Wala na si Jansen. Nasa Antipolo na daw.. Lungkot at dismaya naramdaman ko nung nalaman ko. Mahirap kasi maghanap ng Mekaniko tulad ni Jansen.

Pero pinagawa ko pa rin sa Yamaha Angono ang dapat ipagawa.

Pero ibang iba ang serbisyo ni Jansen. Sa pakikipag usap palang sa customer. Ibang iba na.. Hindi ko maramdaman ung interes para pakinggan ung hinaing mo.

Tamang gawa lang ba.

Natapos naman ung pinapagawa ko pero nung nasubukan ko na ulit motor ko.

Wala ako maramdaman na improvement. Lalo pa nga pumangit.

Kaya naman napag desisyon na ako na dadayuhin ko na lang si Jansen sa Antipolo

Nung nagkita ulit kami, sabi nya agad sa akin. " Ang layo ng narating mo ah"

Sabi ko na lang. Bakit ka kasi umalis.

Ikaw ung asset dun eh, ikaw ung magaling dun eh.

Tamang ngiti lang sabay sabi , 'Meron pang isa, ung kasama ko dun na malaki katawan"

Nalaman ko din na hindi pala siya umalis kundi nilipat daw siya.

Kung siya lang daw, ayaw daw nya umalis dun pero wala naman daw siya magagawa sa desisyon ng company.

So ano ba punto ng kuwento na ito? Ang punto ko lang naman eh.

Hindi mo kailangan sabihin kung saan ka magaling. Ibang tao ang magpapatunay nun para sayo👍

P.S

Sa mga company naman, bakit kailangan maglipat ng tao? Especially Motortrade Yamaha 3s Shop.. Ano ang reason?

Ang UNO Kape

Visited Angono Wawa and found this street-movable little coffee ☕ outlet.

Mr. John Paul Nunez single-handedly operates this little Cafe of his which is located here in Tiamson St., Kalayaan, Angono Rizal

Menus and prices were competitive and very creative, I must say.

He was once a Barista from a well-known coffee ☕ shop chain in the Metro where he enhances his craft and then later on decided to put up his very own coffee ☕ shop.

And here's my iced cold cappucino ready to chill me up😊

Their strawberry 🍓 milk fruity were indeed very refreshing to drink while chilling here on the lakeside doing nothing but enjoying the settings sun ☀.

Finally met Bee in the flesh last March 27, 2024

We just ate and had a good, comfortable talk with a nice overlooking Metro Manila background. He went to where I stayed. We booked a grab going together to Escalera, which is located in Angono, Rizal 21km away.

We started with a small kamustahan as we paved our way in the heavy traffic. And I could say, the two people that just met are the same person that had been constantly talking over snap for more than 2 months.

If there's one thing that my eyes are very keen on, especially on the small details, it's if the person is a gentle person or not. And I was right all along, Bee is definitely a gentle person. He opened the car for me when I didn't even notice that our grab ride had arrived. When we reached the place, he was leading me to where we were going. He took one of the things that I was carrying that time without asking me, that's a big plus for me. He made sure that I was comfortable. He ordered for us and made sure that I got to eat good food.

The food was great but we were both watching our calorie count. It became our bond as he kept on teasing me about me making an art out of my food. 

When we decided to go home. He became my photographer. He was making sure I got more photos. He even took my shoulder bag away from me and carried it all the way up. I felt shy and kept on getting it from him since my bag is like Dora's, it was heavy. While he was taking photos of me, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful his smile was behind the phone he was using. It made my heart flutter.

Then we waited for a grab ride home. While we were in the car, I felt like I needed to be close to him because it might be my last chance or that I just wanted to be recharged or maybe I just remembered that his love language was physical touch. So the “me” who initially thought would not be comfortable with a skinship, decided to rest her head on his shoulders. I was getting sleepy too since it was almost midnight. He rested his head on my head too. He then laced my arm over his later on. Then he made some small repetitive touch on my wrist. I was just closing my eyes, trying to be awake to savor the moment that we had. His fingers not only warms my hand but also warms my heart. I could also feel that he would sometimes give small glances with the way he shifted his head since my head could feel it. And his voice when he talks, I thought I wasn't a fan at first when we had our video calls back then. But I didn't think I would like it more after hearing it personally.

When we were nearing my place, he placed his hand on my cheek gently to wake me up. He even kissed my forehead. Thank God I was a light sleeper. But I was feeling a bit groggy from being sleepy. I told him to let me pay for the ride. But he insisted. Since I was about to go home. I hugged and whispered to let me pay. He said next time and kissed my forehead again. He placed his hand on my waist, and I didn't even feel uncomfortable, which was strange for an introvert like me. So I think I clung to him for recharge while savoring our last minutes together. I hugged him again when I left the car and thanked him. He said he will contact me once he gets home. And he did.

I was the one who invited him for a mental health break from studying. I even have to explain to my family to fund my rest day. But Bee opted to pay all the expenses. He made sure that I will be able to get the rest that I've been wanting. 

Before we decided to meet up that day, I've been earnestly praying to God for days to give that day to me. I prayed that my introverted self wouldn't show up. I prayed for Christ instead to be manifested in everything I do and in every situation that we will go through. I've imagined in my head countless times what would happen if we would finally meet. We almost had chances back then but it didn't happen. Because I always believe in a God-given moment instead of a forced one. The moment that we had, it was definitely God's answer to my prayer. 

God, You've been answering my prayers this year, like I could really see it and feel it and experience it. This time Father, I pray that I will be able to pass the board exam this April 2024 so that I could make my family, friends and Bee proud. And in that way, I could fulfill the purpose that You've set for me. Because in the end, it's always been You and for You, Lord. Everything that is happening in our lives, even the warm moments that I just experienced, You let it happen because it was part of Your plan. A plan for Your love to resonate through Christ that is in me.

Antipolo City  ---------------------------------------

Antipolo City 

Antipolo, officially known as the City of Antipolo, is the capital of the first-class component city of the Philippine province of Rizal. The 2020 census reports that 887,399 people live there. In the Philippines, it is the eighth-largest city by population and the most populous city in Calabarzon. In terms of component city, it is also the most populous city. Since Antipolo has a higher altitude than Metro Manila, it provides a scenic view of the city, particularly at night. The mangoes and cashews grown in the area are popular with tourists, as is suman, a sticky rice delicacy. This national park, formerly a popular summer destination, is being rehabilitated to make it. 

SOME OF FAMOUS TRADITIONS IN ANTIPOLO CITY 

AGONO'S FAMOUS FESTIVAL 

HIGANTES FESTIVAL 

Higantes Festival is a local festivity held in Angono, Rizal, Philippines every year. Thousands of oversized papier-mâché puppets are marched around the streets as a way for the common people to ridicule the evil hacienda owners of the past who were under Spanish colonial rule. It eventually evolved further to commemorate the feast of Pope St. Clement I on November 22 and 23. The foundation of the festivity may date back to the Spanish colonial era in the late 1800s. The ruling class, who regarded Angono as their hacienda, imposed a year-long restriction on the common people utilizing puppets arihueti. The former finally broke their cell with the higantes and used the papier-mâché heroes, which they called as hacienderos, to mock their owners. 

FLOAT PARADE 

The Grand Float Parade, an annual event that showcases colorful floats, this time with characters from the animation world or the so-called "anime", is expected to attract more visitors, including the younger generation, who will spend the entire day in the city on April 6 to watch their favorite Japanese television and movie characters impersonated by the float parade participants. According to Mar Bacani, director of the Antipolo City Culture Arts and Tourism Promotions Office, each of the city's 16 villages will have its own distinctive float with an anime motif. Private companies, such as food stores and local schools, are also scheduled to participate in the float procession as guests. 

SUMAKAH FESTIVAL

Sumakah Festival is an abbreviation for Suman, Mangga, Kasoy, and Hamaka, which was previously employed as a mode of transportation. The festival was developed to promote Antipolo's unique products. The celebration takes place every May 1st. The festival conducts a variety of activities, including the Alay Lakad. The Alay Lakad marks the start of the festival. The festival also includes beauty pageants, street dancing, and other performances by Antipolo inhabitants. It takes place on May 1st. It is also planned to honor the Black Nazarene who is being carried to Antipolo Cathedral.
