T.G.I.K. " no plans no venue & no budget! just a promise of adventure."
T.G.I.K. inspired by the television series in the Philippines T.G.I.S (Thank God Its Sabado) just change the "sabado" into "kamias". a group of friends named after a sour fruit. why kamias? you ask, its due to the sour flavor of the kamias fruit which describes the members of this group. in our native language sour can be defined as ill-tempered; short-tempered; sulky; irritable;harsh and sometimes even cruel. but if you gather them together you will get an adventurous,fun,wild and awesome experience.
i have posted a group of videos titled "happy moments by alex ilano" for you to enjoy.
p.s. videos was captured by the great eyes of alex ilano

slow me down (posted 08/16/08)
all things comes to me in a blur. Its been so fast, 26 years and i cannot remember. When I blink I see different things. People comes in my life through a revolving door, they come and go just like that. My pursuit of new things brings no memories. I look at pictures and felt nothing… brings no memory, no feelings. I cannot say that its amnesia because I remember the names, places and events but I do not remember the experience. I’ve been playing the game of life so fast that I don’t recognize what is important and true. can somebody slow me down?

Castles in the sky (posted 05/31/08)
They say "Don’t build castles in the sky" because your dreams may be bigger than your circumstances allow. You should have the right tools and the resources to get what you wanted. We need a ladder to get to the next rung. A shovel so we can dig deep. A hammer so we can push hard and nails to connect the pieces.
Of course if you sit comfortably in your home, dreaming you will make it big one day then your building castles in the sky without the tools. You have to work hard, have an inspiration and commit to a certain goal to achieve your dreams.
Let’s build our castles in the sky…. mine will be covered with gold.the optimist (posted 05/06/08)
They say that i cannot please everybody but i have to try. They say do not trust anybody but i see the light in every soul. They say that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder but i behold from the beauty of the world. They say reality bites but i i know imagination is everything. They say expect the worst but i hope for the best.
A friend taught me that i should never think about negative things because they are attracted to the one who thinks about them. I always look at the glass half full so I have something to look forward and not deprive myself of something I want. Things will always work out…
Remember Peter Pan when he is teaching Wendy to fly… he said think of
happy thoughts and you will be able to fly. So, I started flying when
I learned to think this way.
So who is the optimist? I think… I am!
i see the light in every soul (posted 03/30/08)
according to jean jacques rousseau, " Man by nature is good ". he believed in the term of noble savage used by john dryden in his play called the conquest of granada. which means that every man by nature is good before the creation of society and civilization. in rousseau’s theory of natural man, he argued that man is corrupted by society and civilization… meaning arts and sciences contributed to the pride and vanity of man resulted to corruption of the human kind.
but i say not… civilization and society is good, it brings out the human in all of us. i can argue that that man by nature is good so, he created society and civilization. he wanted to interact, socialize and help other humans. we can say that other people take advantage from the goodness of man but have u realize that every action of a man has its reason.
Don’t take it wrong, but think about this words, Fulfillment, Nirvana, and Enlightenment. This are good words,which has good meanings but its prone to abuse… but once you accept it… you see the light in every soul.
Namaste
Schaddenfreude (posted 03/09/08)
It’s a German word that means "joy that one feels as a result of some else’s misfortune". Is this human nature that sometimes we think that is funny if someone is in vain, in pain, got into an accident or just plain misfortune pours down to a person. one example is tv shows that showcase misfortune of others and we tend to see it as so funny that sometimes our gut hurts.
I would love to hear a situations or testimonies that this phenomenon is happening. send me your comments. thanks!
scars (posted 07/23/07)
scars reminds us that the past is real. i am always been dreamin, so scars defrentiate what is real and what is a dream. scars brings memories of the painful past. the pain that we thought we have already healed, but it has always stayed within us. probably to remind us of the mistakes that we do not need to repeat. ironic to say … that the things we want to forget always leaves a mark.
think and/or feel (posted 06/02/07)
why do we have a left and right when we have the center? why do we have black and white when we have gray? why do we have positive and negative when we have neutral? why do our heart and mind contradict each other?
then feel…
choices (posted 05/15/07)
the choices we made, will affect us tomorrow… damn this is so true, i’m feeling it today. the choices i made from the past and recently gravely affects me. seems that all of the choices i made are damn wrong. i know its my fault ‘coz i dont listen to advises my friends and family share. someone even told me and i quote "its your choice so bear with it".
i am violating my own rule of living life to the fullest. i cannot eat, i cannot sleep, i cannot even drink beer… all day i dream that hopefully tomorrow will be better. what is happening with my life, drives me nuts. i cannot tell the details ‘coz that will bore you to death.
am i really maturing, or this is just a stage of life that i needed to go tru? but don’t worry guyz, i am re-grouping myself, i know i will be okay. i will just keep on smiling…
everything x (posted 04/16/07)
have you ever felt that everything in your life seems wrong? felt that there are things that you want in your life but you cannot have? felt that things that were given is not enough? felt the decisions you made was all wrong? felt you want to turn back time?
please share me your experience… i’m going tru this stage. just post it as a comment, it will be appreciated.
tzay jean (posted 03/07/07)
my uncle just left the country today to work abroad. he’s going to a foreign land to look for his luck. i’m glad that he can now fulfill his dream to work abroad, but it makes me sad in a way and even shed tears when he left.
i call him shantao, we grew up together. my drinking buddy, my basketball teammate, my go-to guy when i’m in trouble, my uncle, and my friend. all the secrets i share with this guy, we always hang out together and look for each other when one is not around. we are that close even some says that our intestines are connected. So i think it’s not a shame to cry when a friend this close will go away.
ungaz, shang di bao you.
two months outside bora (posted 02/24/07)
it has been a long time since i updated my blog, so grab a pillow people I’ll bore you with my stories.
city life has been a blast… all changes in a blink of an eye. Changing one job to the other, people come and go, and events that you never imagined happened.
i am glad that i’m back in laguna. i can spend time with my family,,, hang-out more with my friends in woodside (ungas 4 life). they told me that i haven’t change a single thing even i’m 2 years in boracay. well probably thats true but a lot of changes do not show out. it all occurs in your mind and heart, agree? Well guys i miss u ol even i’m busy at work, i’ll try to hang-out more.
career-wise, i haven’t got a chance to take a vacation. i started to work in Discovery Suites a week after i came back from bora. been so busy even working during xmas and new year. but my stay in Discovery has been cut short. i received an offer form a call center 3 weeks after i started in Discovery. i love front office but i decided to accept another offer in a call center, i passed training and everything and now i am enjoying this line of work. I’m with Fifth Third bank as of the present, trying my best to keep up with bank terminologies that i only heard for the first time.
tubong biñan, laking boracay (posted 12/16/06)

a painter without a hand (posted 11/24/06)
I paint my life based on the eyes of others. I gave the painting a dash of bright colors that is admirable by many. I tried to hide the shadows but make it noticeable to whom can understand. I gave it drama but blend it with light emotions. Abstract may it seems, still I cannot explain the shapes and sizes that it turned-out to be…
Equivalent value of exchange (posted 11/15/06)
"Human being cannot obtain anything without giving something in return. In order to achieve anything, something of an equivalent in value must be lost." I heard this phrase from a cartoon called the Fullmetal alchemist. It strikes me and made me think … hmm its somewhat true and maybe applies to this so called life that i have. anyways, is it much better to gain without losing something in return?
here or there (posted 10/12/06)
just last week, a friend visited. damn we had a great night outs, its a shame that i still go to work every morning instead of being with them all day. its exhausting yet very much fun and i had a great time. it bring backs good old memories. i miss laguna and everything in it, but i dont want to leave boracay…
shucks having doubts on my plans.
lose yourself (posted 09/04/06)
ever felt the title of this post? sometimes you go crazy, sometimes you go wild, you lose control, sometimes your in nirvana, sometimes your anger, happiness, excitement, or pleasure takes over your body. do our souls guides us when we lose ourselves?
heaven on earth (posted 07/20/06)
A friend of mine writes about the "act". She said that you can get away from reality even for just a few moments. Just like having a good dream. But what matters most is the feeling that you undergo in the morning. A sense of guilt and pain that you cannot explain.
True, but not all the time. sleeping with someone presents nirvana when done right and willingly. it’s like heaven on earth for a few moments. Realization of the act can be in a positive sense or in negative. it can be a blade at your back but ecstasy when you get it out. learn from it, experience it, & have fun with it. gerr-gerr we call it.
wake up (posted 07/13/06)
"brai, gising na" or "brai, wake up", this is the first thing i hear every waking moment of my life. i have a sleep deficiency that once i’ve gone to sleep nothing will wake me up unless a person intend to wake wake me. i don’t know the reason and i’m not seeking for professional help. maybe i just like sleeping, or i like dreaming. dreams takes me to places that i would never think of, probably its just the way of balancing my realistic and practical views in life. i just have a felling when i wake up on my own there’s something missing. because i know when someone’s wakes u, i believe that they care.
I’m not complaining that i have to wake up everyday to do chores, go to school, go to work or face the challeges of this life. I just wanted to show my appreciation. the faces i see in the morning is the inspiration i needed to go on. "salamat"
espaface (posted 06/11/06)
it never failed to make me smile when this word is being mentioned. Maybe because of envisioning a face full of powder that sometimes a person thinks it look good but in reality other people think of them as clown faces.
acronym of Espasol Face, in filipino layman’s term meaning "too much powder or make-up in a face". powder or make-up covers impurities but too much of it becomes impurities itself, agree? compare it to the real espasol, the white baking powder is covering the kakanin to make it look good but put too much of it spoils the taste. the sweetness and the nutrients is all inside, and thats what matters but a touch of white baking powder makes it delightful to the eyes.
"you will never get a second chance to make a first impression"(i’ve read this posted in a bathroom door). Make yourself delightful to the eyes eventually they will discover your flaws but you already make them like you.
Bear with me i’m bored. 
changes (posted 06/04/06)
i’m leaving boracay after a year and eight months of staying here. i’m going somewhere to develop myself and earn more money. changes that will improve myself and my standards of living. but i’m worried, i am very much used to the island lifestyle that if i go to a city i will freak out knowing that the beach is far away, the night life will be wild and crazy only on the weekends and my dear friends and housemates will be far way. God, its sad just thinking of it.
No one’s to blame but me, I choose this career move. If i got bored and lose my mind, just point a finger at me then maybe i’ll laugh at you :-). i’m in a great company who gave me the opportunity to learn and lead. a company that i treat as my family. probably i’m doing this to help this company in the future? who knows, every action or decision we make doesn’t need a reason to justify it.
changes that i should learn to live with… changes that i believe is for the better.
So, goodbye sunsets, goodbye flip flops, goodbye serenity, goodbye partys, goodbye friends, goodbye love. hello city life!
absence of communication (posted 05/08/06)
it’s my 3rd week now, since i broke my mobile phone. I’m not missing it but i miss the people who everyday sends you cute and nasty messages. ei guyz, don’t be mad or get angry with me when i’m not replyin’. I’ll just inform you when i get a new phone.
slinky (posted 04/21/06)
Black Saturday, i’m planning to party all night till the sun shine but my plans didn’t turned out well. i’m stoned, flat out, pass out and many other things that you can say when you lose yourself. But its a hell of a night, imagine your walking partying, but when you woke up in the morning you didn’t know what happened. Only your friends will tell the story. Do stupid things, wild and even naughty things but you can’t remember why. Its a feeling that maybe some of us needs to experience once in a life time. Let the good times roll…
ignorantia facti excusat (03/31/06)
a latin phrase i learned in college that means ignorance of the fact excuses, that i am realizing today. Not everyone knows the same fact. Some cannot identify fact from fiction. This shows that not every soul is equal but all souls are in search of the truth in every manner they can or whatever purpose they intent. ignorance is not a bliss, it’s an excuse to waste a precious organ.
worthy of keeping (posted 03/25/06)
am i capable of judging of what is worth keeping? do the reasons that’s on my mind is enough? is the ability to reflect enough? in my mind she’s not worthy but my heart screams "please keep her".
in vino veritas (posted 03/11/06)
"There is truth in wine", a Latin phrase suggesting that people tend to say what they really feel under the influence of alcohol. Alcohol can make you carefree that you would not think of the circumstances of your present action while influenced by it. Even lose your dignity if you’re unfortunate. Alcohohol can make the best out of you or the worst in you. But what is important that you show the real you while while influenced by it, either good or bad. Some people get their courage from a drink, either gain friends, enemies or sometimes love ones.
But in my point of view, I always suggest to treat alcohol as a friend that always there when you’re mourning, always there when you’re celebrating, and even if you’re alone. A friend that gives you courage and strength when you need it. A friend that you only get influenced in when you know it. You’re life is up to you not in the substances that you drink. So, drink up and discover the truth. " In vino veritas".
chocolate milk shake (posted 03/06/06)
I just had a chocolate milk shake. It suprises me, a glass of sweet liquid makes me feel good. Normally, I just finish it and forget about it. But this one was different, i realize that small things can make me happy. Maybe happiness is not really what we want? Maybe its the small blessings that we recieve that we often neglect what makes us complete? Maybe I’m learning how to appreciate and be greatful? Maybe I’m happy, I just didn’t know it? It’s funny what a glass of sweet liquid can create a complicated statement.
