My Eccentric Sanity Blooms...

I Can't

2010-03-06T16:14:00.004+08:00

It's been ages since the last time we've seen each other. To be honest, I actually plan to shut down our communication for good. To end the string that attached us since the first day I learned about you. To consider you as part of my past. To let go and simply move on.

But I can't. I simply CAN'T. You are too much of a treasure to throw away. You are the extension of my thoughts since 2005. And by next month, April 2010, we will be celebrating our anniversary. We should be right?

You are the witness to all my emotions. You know how it was and how it is about me. You know me too well and has been so good to me. Standing beside me. Patiently waiting for me to come to you. Eagerly listening to all my sentiments, my nonsense blah blahs and demented thoughts. You are so trusty worthy to help me conceal from my real pain and sorrows. But was so proud for every milestone, every joyful moment I had. Shouting to the world my accomplishments or simple joys.

I was a fool once when I attempted to replace you. I admit, I found you boring that's why I looked around and consider others. You had your days when you were totally hard to manage. But I guess that's not a valid reason for me to ignore you.
I was entertained by what others offered. I even stay awake so late at night just to be with them. But i realized, i still need you.

I will be totally insane to let you go.

No!!! I don't have the guts to close our relationship. Nor do i have the courage to see you go just like that. I will stay. I will still come back to you no matter what.
You may not see or hear from me often but believe me, I am just around the corner. Busy on whatever it is that eats me. I am and forever will be there just like the old times.

I promise to write you as long as I can. Until my fingers ache because of old age. Or until internet life is ticking.

We are one. You and me.....Me and my blogspot.

Love
the blogger a.k.a Jhan

I'm serious!

2009-07-15T19:02:00.005+08:00

...I've been wanting to have a pair of these since Hmmmm.....can't remember. Hahaha.
But seriously, I love them. So cute and trendy and very stylish. Aarrrgggghhhhh.......If only i have the extra cash to shell out just for these... :-(

I'm thinking of compelling reason why I need to spend 60 USD + shipping fee for these! Really really thinking about this. I'm a shoe fetish. No doubt about it. But being a shoe fetish that I am does not have to be a big spender on shoes noh! I believe I still have the control of buying. Well at least once a month. :P hehehe.

*Deep sigh*
I really really wanted to have one of these from Pluey's. I hope my Santa will include this on his list. *wishful thinking*

Well, guess what? I found these at Landmark for only Php 300. Pwede na!
These will suffice while Santa is still convincing himself to grant my wish. Hehehe.

Aylabet!

2009-07-15T18:44:00.004+08:00

Got her last Saturday, July 11.
Need to say goodbye to my Merrelle. She's been with me for hmmmm......almost 6 years??!!! Hmmmm...yeah, I think. ^__^ hahaha. That one has served my feet well.

Well, Now i'm taking new steps with these:

Hihihi.BTW, special thanks to my h2b. ^__^
Hon, can i get those Pluey wellies too? Huh? hah? Ha? Pleassszzzzzeeeeee!!! *wink*

Top 10 beauty tips for brides

2009-07-10T17:08:00.002+08:00

(i guess it's time for the h2b to contribute something about wedding stuffs... )

IN the past, as full-time beauty editor, I took on hair and makeup jobs on the side to supplement my magazine income. I worked on advertising shoots, music videos and weddings during my free time.

Weddings proved to be the most challenging of them all. I never knew what to expect. But at the same time, working the bridal circuit taught me many things, and the experience is currently helping me put together my own nuptials.

I caught up with two other makeup artist friends to exchange ideas on the dos and don’ts when it comes to one’s big day, and essentially gather tips on how to look one’s best (and most photogenic) on the event that took months to prepare.

Their answers were both hilarious and helpful. I am only too happy to share them with you.

10. “Do not sleep later than 12 midnight even if your wedding is after lunch,” says Barbi Chan, chief makeup artist at Maybelline New York, who has worked with more than 300 brides. “Trust me, it shows, [and] it’s so hard to conceal swollen and tired eyes!”

9. Steer clear of foundation that contains titanium dioxide (a common sunscreen ingredient), as it turns white in pictures. This only emphasizes the importance of making it to your trial makeup session and reviewing the photographs. On that note, “Do not be late or miss your appointment,” says Mayone Bakunawa, a former Estée Lauder guest makeup artist who has been doing makeup for five years now. “If you have to [cancel], inform way ahead of time [as a] courtesy to the makeup artist and her other clients.”

8. Avoid any medical or dermatological treatments like facials, waxing or threading at least a week before the wedding, and never ever the day before. “No amount of makeup can cover burnt skin or an infected pimple,” explains Chan.

7. “Do not drastically change your hair color,” warns Bakunawa. “Asian hair has a lot of copper undertones so if you’re going for a light brown shade, you’d have to bleach first.” Bakunawa recommends going to a reputable salon or a professional stylist. “It will be worth it, otherwise you might end up with orange hair.”

6. Don’t treat your suppliers like hired help. Your makeup artist, hair stylist, photographer and everybody else are there to make sure you look your best, and they deserve to be treated with respect. Treat them right and you’ll be rewarded with a well-made-up face, great hair and amazing pictures (even, possibly, lasting friendships).

5. Avoid unrealistic expectations, at least from the hair and makeup team. “Do not expect us to be magicians or surgeons,” says Bakunawa. “Granted, we will do everything we can in our power to make you the most beautiful you, but you’ll still look like yourself.” So brides, take note: no asking for ‘nose lines’ please!

4. “Do not neglect skin care and ‘leave it up to the makeup artist,’” shares Bakunawa. Chan agrees, having advised many women in the past to take care of their complexions. “Clear, blemish-free skin is the perfect canvas for makeup to go on,” she says. Besides, if your skin is in great shape, you won’t need that much makeup.

3. Try not to stress about the small things. “Brides should learn the art of letting go,” says Chan. “As long as you have your photographer, makeup, gown, and of course, groom, then everything else can fall apart and you will still be the most beautiful bride. Let go and everything will be alright.”

Says Bakunawa: “Stress will manifest in different ways, such as hair loss, dry skin, breakouts, rashes, you name it. And it shows in pictures.”

2. “Your wedding day is just one day, do not expend all your energy and be drained afterwards,” urges Chan. She also encourages couples to focus on the pending marriage itself, and not just get caught up in the preparations. “Planning a wedding is easy, getting married is not. So make sure that you are sure about it—no doubts, no hesitations, because we are talking about spending the rest of your life with this person.”

1. Don’t forget to feed your suppliers. “Do not assume that while we work in the fashion and beauty industry, we do not eat,” expresses Bakunawa. And Chan shares the same sentiment: “Even if it’s just a simple mamon [small butter cake], it really helps a lot!”

What's your ecological footprint?

2009-06-05T12:50:00.003+08:00

Our CEO sent us an email about our company's campaign for greener business environment. In his email....

"To mark World Environment Day on Friday 5th June 2009, we are now taking this challenge to each individual and ask that you participate in a personal challenge to reduce your own GHG footprint by 10% by FY2010.

The 10% by 2010 Challenge
Firstly, you will need to measure your own GHG footprint by using the Footprint Calculator on www.wwf.org.au/footprint/calculator/. You will need to register and submit your measurement, with your pledge to cut your GHG footprint by 10%, by sending your measurement and pledge to sustainability@au.fujitsu.com. "

So I took the test and got the ff:

Scrapbook

2009-06-03T22:45:00.005+08:00

Posting my 1st attempt on online scrapbooking.

This is so nice. Wwwweeeeee!!!! I think this will be my new addiction. :P

Actually, I have my own scrapbook. Unfortunately, I dont have more free time to do it. It's much easier doing it online. And much cheaper. I can just print it if I like. :D

Finally, it's UP

2009-05-25T18:51:00.000+08:00

Yey! Our wedding blog is finally UP. After a long while of deciding where to house it, i finally settled on blogspot still. I tried it on wedding announcer, mywedding and wordpress. I want a page that will have tabs or additional pages for easy navigation. I want a page that I can put widgets in a breeze. A wide page so that fonts and pictures will not be too crowded in the center. And the top criteria among all is a page where I can put customized header. At first, I thougth, it will be at wordpress but seems that I a more familiar using blogger. Hahaha.

Anyhow, the quest has ended and I am happy I can start to journal our preps. Actually I started already. ^__^

See it here.

"Thx ,anak how gre atful 1am 2 have a daughter like u. tou ch nman q s messge mo GOD BLES U"

Aaawwww...that's my initial reaction when I read my Mom's SMS to me. It made me go teary-eyed but then I hold back and focused on the topic that was being discussed because I was in the church that time.

My Mom and I were not vocal nor showy with each other. Actually, we are all like that. None in the family is used to hugs, kisses, lambingan, etc. We don't practice PDAs.
Nonetheless, I am trying to be as vocal and showy as possible. Like this day...I left a card and a small envelope of present for my Mom to read when she arrives from work. If I can't tell it in person, at least I can express it through words.

I love my Mom so much. PERIOD. ^__^
(i told you, i am not that vocal :P)

Oh well, enough. I don't want to wet my keyboard.
To all the Moms in the world....

Because I'm waiting for the 6 o' clock bell....

2009-05-08T17:36:00.006+08:00

Best way to kill time while at work (pretending you are still working) is "surf the net"!!!
Hooha!!! ^__^

So, normal routine is to check emails, open blogspot, click your links and read-on. Let the mouse move you from one page to the other. Comment here, comment there. Read more here, read more there. *Ahem*

Can't blame me for staying in the office and doing nothing. :P
My officemates went out as early as 3PM to do their personal errands (anu pa bah!)
And they left me here again in my lonely cubicle. I could have join them, why not. But what? Stroll the mall? To which if I do that, will surely rob my pocket unexpectedly for another "i- want-that-item-on-the-shelf". Or there will be another battle inside my head juggling "want VS. need". Shopping is a GIRL THING!!! And I am one of them who can't resist going out the mall empty handed. Hihi.

Well then, I realized it's friday afternoon and clients would not want to receive a call from a Business Dev. Mgr (Ahem) coz of the fact they are as bored as me, just buying time until 5PM / 5.30PM or 6PM. *PPfff*

So, as I click here and there, I ended to this page: My Live Signature

Isn't it cool to have one of these? Well I created two!!! ^__^

Signature 1:

Signature 2:

Obviously, I love the first one. Expect it to be on my next posts.

Susan Boyle: She can now dream her dream today

2009-04-27T14:48:00.006+08:00

"So emotinoal...unbelievable and emotional...Fantastic."

These were the last words from the video clip about Susan Boyle. These words were exactly the same words that explains how I felt even while watching her. It brought me shivers down to the last hair on my legs. She even made me literally cry!!! Not the usual teary eyed but tears literally as in tears rolling down my cheeks while i watch her sing.

Amanda is right. Sad to admit, we are being cynical in what we see. In 1 Samuel 16:7, it was written

"...Pay no attention to how tall and handsome he is. ....because I do not judge as people judge. They look at the outward appearance, but I look at the heart."

God is brilliant and fair in all his creation. Boyle is one great example how big her heart is. A woman full or possitivity. In her I saw Hope. She dreams big. In her I saw confidence. Her age and physical appearance did not hinder her for delivering her strength. In her I saw faith. In her I saw love and passion. She started at 12 and her passion for singing never dies. In her I saw courage. She never trembles facing Simon and the cynical eyes of viewers. In her I saw contentment. She's happy even though she's unmarried and never been kissed!!! She has a pure heart. A big heart!!!

Amazingly talented. Extraordinary! With over 45million views now and still increasing, Susan simply WoWed the world. ^_^

See her here.

Click here to hear Susan Boyle singing 'Cry Me A River' , from a charity cd in 1999.

Until next time...

2009-04-26T00:59:00.010+08:00

I blogged about her come back dated April 7, 2009.

She just had a three-week vacation here then she'll bring Josh with her to NZ where they will live for good. (Hay, nakaka-sad pa rin isipin na ang layo layo layo layo layo layo nyo na *Sigh*) But since we have our own schedules and engagements to attend sad din coz we have not maximized our time together.

Last April 17, was her day with the berks (A, me, Jeng, Mike, Carol and Bro. Sope). Mervs and Edwin coundn't make it because of an out of town getaway. Lades ofcourse is at SG. Nonetheless, that night was a bonding over food, videoke, laughers, asaran, kwentuhan at syempre piktyuran!!!

Ofcourse, I will not allow Mheh to go back to NZ empty handed. I gave something for her and Dheh. ( I hope you'll love it....and use it please! Hihi.. BTW, buzz me on your comments ha?)

Ok back to my story....^__^

Then for A being Josh' Ninong...I volunteered to look for an item for Josh that will be useful especially when he starts for schooling. Good thing I asked her mom first on what's his favorite cartoon character or anime character. Guess what? It's the Dark Knight! ^_^

So me got him an uber cool thermal lunch bag with matching thumbler and food container. I got him a awesome Car pencil box that moves when you pull the string from the trunk. Cor's Josh loved it. He even tried to cute his Mom out just to let him play with it asap. Hehe.

Well, I will surely miss them. A and I were actually kidding around that 2 years from now, Josh will call A "Ninong KULOT" with an accent. Hehe.

Hay! I love my Berks. Too bad we never been complete in a picture. I hope that time will come...SOON.

hair + booze

2009-04-20T16:34:00.012+08:00

Who said you can't have a haircut while drinking your booze?
They ain't no rules...especially for Keekai! :P

It was one of those nights where u just want to chilax and let your work-baked body get tired more by lights, the busy street, booze and shopping!!! Last week, we went to Marikina Shoe Expo at Cubao to check out Mogwai and a possible buy of new pair of shoes. But we instead ended up checking out "i love you" store. It's an art store. Cool store! Loads of weird or better say artistic items from dress, blings, trinkets, shirts, pants, bags, shades, etc. Keekai promised that she's not going to leave the store without having one for keepsake. Very tempted that I was too of grabbing a shirt but nah...they were too pricey to consider (Sticky Rice Alert! alert! hehehe). So what did we have instead? A HAIR CUT!!!! Yey!

(before)

(the works)

(after)

I got a new hair cut too. I had my hair layered again but now with bangs! :P Too bad, no one care to took my before and after pic. A and Cadz wer busy trying on the bioman shades, laughing their hearts out on how they look in the mirror while I'm having my time with the hair stylist. But that's A-OK. :)

And the one who went home very happy with an item was A. He got himself a 1994 VINTAGE RAY BAN CHROMAX Driving shades. (As if he can drive!!! Oh Yeah, he drives me Crazy! Will that count?)

It's a combination of thank-you-Jhan-for-a-very-tasty-find and wtf-i-am-robbed-CA-to-the-rescue thingy for him. Well, it's original and good buy! Here's other stuff I found in the store.

(I heart his pink flask :-( 'cors I didn't buy coz its so pricey)

(My view of the ceiling)

(A, bored yet comfy on the couch)

( A table full of odd-shape shades)

(Trying on Lola shades)

(now, the Red Heart-shaped bangaw shades)

Well, it's a night of fun with people I love. *wink*

Unique

2009-04-11T15:29:00.004+08:00

I've seen this before but doesn't have the time to post an entry. Hehehe.
Now that I have the time + will to do it...the entry begins. Yey! [see the emphasis on time + will?..hehe]

Jay + Sarah Wedding = Rockstar Wedding
Very unique, simply beautiful. I love it.

I don't have to elaborate more on who Jay is coz definitely most of Pinoy blog readers would definitely knew or the least have an idea who this guy is. But Sarah Abad is Kaye Abad's sister. Sarah was a former child actress. If I remember her correctly, she's the child on drama role who always cry. :P

Nwei, to continue, The first time I learned about Jay, i must say, I've been a fan. I like his wit, his sense of humor, his somewhat weird way of presenting himself on cam, on tv, on print. He's simply UNIQUE. He speaks his mind. I read that the idea or their wedding theme came from the brilliant mind of Jay. [I read lang ha...take note]

9th on 9

2009-04-09T20:13:00.005+08:00

Today marks our 9th year! Ahiheee
If I will do the math, that's
78,840 hours
3,285 days
432 weeks
108 months

Whew! and few months more from now, we will be counting again back to Zero for another milestone in our lives.

Celebrating our 9th is not that too special anymore but is equally romantic and happy compared to the rest. Instead of glass of wine, we say our "cheers" with Fraps. Instead of a limousine drive, we just take a cab. Instead of romantic lunch for 2, it was Mang Inasal's Chicken for 4 (A, his mom, his brother and I). Instead of a stroll to the mall holding hands, it was a quick stroll at the grocery hands held+sweet embrace while on queue at the counter.

There may not be fancy food to share with, no out of town nor out of the country trip, no extravagant gifts (speaking of gift, i have to collect mine by monday pa! *sigh*), but we spent it TOGETHER and I am simply contented.

Everyday can be as special as your anniversary as long as you want it to be. I am learning more...loving more.

Simply happy for 9th on April 9, 2009.

Cheers to our 9th Moks!

Reunited

2009-04-07T13:57:00.005+08:00

Yehey! After 1 year, we finally met again face to face. One of my best pals is here. Back in her hometown. A and I met her finally last Sat for dinner. Coz i can't wait for Apr 17!!!!

I understand that it is a very busy vacation for her to accommodate family and friends. But duh! we're not just friends....we are almost sisters!!! We are best of Pals!!!!

(aawww....i miss Lady too). How I wish she's here too.

As expected, we updated each other. Shared our respective kwentos of almost everything. The daldalhan doesn't stop over our dinner plates. We even extended it over frappuccinos. Hehe. Well, the night was obviously not enough for us coz we talked and talked until pass midnight. We laughed and reminisced our times together and how time fly so fast. We talked about plans...future...dreams. Oh how I really missed her...(I miss Dheh too). How i wish they can make it again here for the BIG DAY. :-(

*deep sigh*

Oh c'mon, i should stop now...I might wet the keyboard again. :P But I can't help it. On the BIG DAY....as much as possible i want all special people in our lives to be there....to celebrate with us. But reality check, there are cases that are out of our control. (Lades, you better make that promise come to life....or else!!!!!......or else I WILL LITERALLY CRY MY HEART OUT!!!)

*fingers crossed*

There's a couple of weeks more before Apr. 22nd. Apart from the 17th, will surely find ways to be with Mheh before she fly back to NZ. Good thing there's internet to stay intouch.

Here's some pics:

Here's my Whiri Twist Paua (pasalubong from Irene) - Represents the bonding of Friendship & the joining of lives for eternity.

I miss my Berks. :-(

Moving on...

2009-04-01T11:35:00.003+08:00

While doing my regular plurking at Plurk, I came to Rustom a.k.a BB Gandanghari's plurk msg.

He owns a blog too. Here's the LINK.

From the bottom of my hypothalamus...

Love and Peace

BB Gandanghari

After reading, I instantly felt sad for him. I pity him. He is very very confused. VERY LOST.
He mentioned God several times...talking about the peace he finally found. *deep sigh*
I actually left a comment on his blog (but still subject for his approval). Pls. try and play the you tube mtv of Rascal Flatts' Im Moving On. It's a very nice song...the lyrics is very hopeful. But I guess this one is not really for Rustom.

I must say, He has not moved on yet....he has just been to another world...still confused, still lost.

I'm Movin' On

Artist: Rascal Flatts
Album: Rascal Flatts

I've dealt with my ghosts and I faced all my demons

Finally content with a past I regret

Ive found you find strength in your moments of weakness

For once Im at peace with myself

Ive been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long

Im movin on

Ive lived in this place and I know all the faces

Each one is different but theyre always the same

They mean no harm but its time that I face it

Theyll never allow me to change

But I never dreamed home would end up where I dont belong

Im movin on

At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me

And I know theres no guarentees, but Im not alone

There comes a time in everyones life

When all you can see are the years passing by

And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldnt

Stopped to fill up on my way out of town

Ive loved like I should but lived like

I shouldntI had to lose everything to find out

Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road

Im movin on

New to my taste buds

2009-03-30T18:09:00.003+08:00

After lunch today, Che (my office mate) brought out a big green mango from one of their Mango Trees at home. Sliced it into bite size. But since there's no available salt at our Pantry, she prepared Soy Sauce + Sugar!!!! eeeewwwww.

At first I really dont want to try it. However, looking at how Che enjoy each mango strips dipped in that mixture, I gave in and tried it as well.

It doesn't taste bad at all but still weird for me.

Search for my Wedding Dress

2009-03-27T21:18:00.003+08:00

We've attended several bridal affairs since Jan of this year and I talked several friends who tied the knot for recommendations for their gowns. I phoned several local suppliers and grabbed almost every supplier brochures for wedding designers, couture, etc. Send several emails here and there. I even read entries on W@W. (but so many entries nakakahilo magbasa..hehe)

So, just last night...I was checking new pictures of Richard Buan and Paul Vincent. For the record, Paul Vincent was my favorite Photog. I've been a fan/follower of him for almost 2 years now. However, we settled with Richard Buan because of budget. I must say, Richard Buan though is equally talented. (I hope hindi magtampo si Richard if ever he reads this. :P )
Anyways, to continue my story..... as I was browsing Paul Vincent's site, I went to one of his links. Hovered my mouse to "The Veluz Bride". Instantly I was WoWed by her creations. It's beautiful. I browsed and browsed for older posts and every bride was amazingly beautiful with the her dress. I sent her an email asking for her rates, etc. then went to sleep.

So today, I was lucky to be home early. I opened my rig...checked emails to see if Veluz replied then visit Veluz' site again. Since there's no reply, I sent SMS to the mobile number posted on the site. As expected I got a reply but not from Veluz but from Gercel. Exchanged few SMS with her. I was already stitching thoughts of myself, with my gown made by Veluz when an SMS came from Gercel. The SMS was:

Gercel: "Ms. Janice, sori po bt we r fully bookd na po on dat date..."

Me: "why? how many brides do you accommodate ba?"

Gercel: "Yes po, we only accomd8 4 brides in a day.."

Me: "Ganun? So quota na kayo? :-( "

Gercel: "Yes po, so sori po tlaga.."

Me: *sigh*

My dream dress from Veluz....Gone!!! :(

Bleeding

2009-03-19T13:11:00.003+08:00

I guess you really don't understand me at all. The x number of years we had together does not guarantee how perfectly well you know me. It's Vice versa.

I admit, i am complicated. You always tell me that I am such a big puzzle to solve. And each time you find the correct connecting piece, the picture suddenly changes. How inconsiderate right? At one point in time, we are in heaven, few minutes passed, we hit the floor face flat. Why? I bet you know the answer.

It's the choice I take that oftentimes crashed my heart. And everytime I chose the option which favors you most, I suffer. Suffer in a sense and in a different way that you really can not comprehend. My heart bleed endlessly when I made a wrong choice. And I wear my mask coz I need it. But You know, I really can't fake what I feel within. If only you really know how to look within, you'll see. You always look at my eyes. But can you really see through?

It takes two to tango. Yes. Well noted. It will not be in history if I didn't permit it. I'm not saying I don't want ANY of it. Ofcourse I do! It's beautiful. It's something worthy to treassure. It's a gift. But It's also a gift not meant to be open yet. Not meant to enjoy yet. Not meant to taste yet.

I guess, bottomline, I made a decision at wrong a time.
I am still vulnerable. I am weak. I am not so brilliant at all.

Yes, You will not understand ME.

My New Baby

2009-03-15T19:00:00.004+08:00

I got a new baby....Isn't she pretty? ^__^

I so lurve her.... She's just less than 12 USD.

Realization

2009-03-03T14:09:00.008+08:00

Few things I realized about life, about people around me...about myself.

1. My blog is growing spiders web already.
--> Fact. I admit, i am too damn lazy to lift a finger to type down thoughts from my nutshell. I dunno. I have all the time to do this. I have so much free time (actually not free by I can use my office hours doing A-O-Nothing :P). But then again, I chose not to update it. Simply because, I AM LAZY!

2. People really come into your life for:
--> 1. A reason
2. A season
3. A lifetime
ern...let me leave it that way and not expound it anymore. Again, I'm Lazy. :P

3. I am Malambing - NOT!
--> Yes. People who know me can testify about this. I have my own way of showing lambing, affection or whatever you call it is to people I love, people I work with, people I like, my friends, my family and even to my significant one. Up do this date, I still can not identify what my love language is? If its through:
1. Words of Affirmation
2. Quality Time
3. Receiving Gifts
4. Acts of Service
5. Physical Touch
It seems, I am on a combination or it's one-of, one-of thing for me.

4. I value my family - A LOT!!
--> This is given. Ever since I came to this world, I belived my true purpose is bound for my family. I still have my flaws and shortcomings but Hey, no one is perfect even if you want to be one. Last night, I went on reading mails while uploading some stuff and came across this.

I realized, I need to make good use of OUR time together.

5. Someone is literally ..... under nourish (*wink). He wants more of this:

Good thing about today is...my blog is finally updated :P

Save Now

2009-02-03T12:14:00.008+08:00

I am doing this entry with only one reason in my head....that is "to update". And so here I am, starring blank at my screen thinking

What title to write?
What content, story, blah-blahs to write?
What non-sense idea to share?
What-da-%($&#(&$#)!!!!??

Empty.

My eyes caught the blue button below this window that look like this ayt?

So my Title has been "Save now".
Maybe I should put an end to this...and do multiply instead.
I know, this entry is rubbish but atleast updated :P

Color of the Year

2009-01-13T22:54:00.006+08:00

Being a shoe fetish...I can't help but get myself another pair. Teehee! If last month (Dec) I had green from local market, this time I got purple Crocs. I choose purple over chocolate brown simply because:

1. cute
2. trendy
3. it's the color of the year

Who knows? This pair might bring me luck. Why not ayt? They can bring me to new places. Hmmmm...can't wait.

( Dec )

( Jan )

x-0-x-0

Today, I was surprised coz my net access has been restricted. Wtf!! What about my access to multiply, friendster and Plurk??!!!! Only to find out that one STUPID officemate was caught by the big boss yesterday doing his facebook and you tube addiction during office hours!!! Grrrr...

But ofcourse, I will not let go of my Godly access rights. So I made a prolific approach to get my all-"ANY"-sites-access back. How?
1. Be super close with the Network administrator
2. Let's call it simple "luck" because the New IT Manager was a former classmate.
3. "Sindakan" lang yan :-P

By 1:30PM, business as usual! Net access galore!!! Nyahaha!

Another surprise

2009-01-06T23:47:00.004+08:00

A friend pay me a visit just to deliver/personally hand over this. Wwweeeeeee!!!!!

Indeed, Life is a box of chocolate, You'll never know what you're gonna get....but I'm so lucky coz mine is my favorite. Yun yon!
I'm gonna have this all for myself!!!! (damot mode)

Thanks L! *hugs*

Have a safe trip back to SG!

Last Hirit Vacation mode

2009-01-04T20:51:00.004+08:00

With most of Filipino workforce getting ready to be back for work tomorrow, I am not that surprised to witnessed malls still jammed with people doing their last hirit of yuletide-vacation-lakwatsa just like me. Hihi. After attending the sunday service today, i felt i was robbed again coz i shelled out Php 1K+ for meds. (again??!!!!) OMG! My health card must have loved visiting hospitals and clinics at least twice a month. Poor me. =(

Nwei, to continue, A and her mom picked me up at Healthway and then we met with A's bro to watch Ang Tanging Ina nyong Lahat. Malling+movie was our last feel of the holidays. The movie was not as funny as her previous sequels. There were many dead air of non-sense "patawa". Punch lines were OA and "pilit". If I will rate it, (5 star being the highest?) I will give 2 1/2 star. Sorry Ai-ai...your comedy didn't hit me.

Well, as usual, I'm doing my internet churvas...just sharing with my readers my what-happened-today-stuff for the sake of keeping my blog alive for 2009. ^_^

Need to prepare my things for work...

Ciao!

3 bars of brownies + 1 chocolate drink = irritating and painful sorethroat

Yes, for the nth time, I am suffering from tonsilitis. I was advised not to take too much sweets while I am under medication. But that was one big No No Doc! That can't be possible.
I was born with a sweet tooth and nothing will separate me from my chocs!!! gggrrrrrrrr!!

The antibiotic injectable was way too painful too! Waaaaahhhhh!!! Poor me, I will have to endure it for 6 months.

Ok time to take the pill.

Updates

2008-12-13T12:33:00.006+08:00

It's almost halfway of December and I haven't posted anything yet. Blame the series of events that has to be attended left and right. Good thing I'm a mouse potato today. Coz when you're out, chances are you'll shed money out of your pocket no matter how stingy a person is. And so today, I decided to stay at home and do some plurking...and blogging. Yey!

Here's what has happened from last two weeks:

1. Nov. 28 = SCC's "Maskara" Christmas Party at Dusit Hotel.
2. Nov. 29-30 = Zambales Tour (ClickniJhan, AceShot)
3. Dec 2-5 = Preparation for Bidding Part 1
4. Dec. 6 = TTNL at Gawad Kalinga Hiyas ng Maynila
5. Dec 8-11 = Preparation for Bidding Part 2
6. Dec. 11 = Oracle's Thankgiving Party for Partners at Spicy Fingers, Greenbelt 2.
7. Dec. 12 = Meet up with ex Officemates and another round of shopping.

For 3 yrs in a row, I have been part of the Hifi peeps in their quest to share blessings received or simply charity work every December to our less fortunate brothers and sisters. After all the preparations and coordinations, what was very rewarding was to witness every kid's smile, sound laughters, playtime moments and how their eyes sparkle on gifts and goodies they received. Twas so sweet of them to even presented a number for us. They're simply cute and adorable.

And ofcourse, I got a new haircut last Dec. 9. Yiheee!!!

Just in case, I wont be able to update this blog for the rest of December, Here's my warmest greetings to all

Have a Blessed, Merry Christmas Everybody!!!!

Early Gifts

2008-11-15T10:47:00.009+08:00

Weeee!!! I got early presents from A and my Tita Ninang Maricel.

1. My new beach shoes. Love them so. Got them from Gateway branch coz they are the only branch who still have my size. I'm 4, from Kids section. hehehe.

2. And this one, was from Tita Ninang Maricel. Straight from Aussie. Yey! I can use them on my malling exercise! :D

See, I consider malling as an exercise now. Imagine the leg work you'll exert hopping from one shop to another. You stretch your arms and back too by trying to reach for racks with files and files of clothes that's on sale!!! That reminds me of the sale now at Trinoma. (NOv. 13-16) Geez, too many people. Imagine, I get stressed yesterday just by watching people passed by while I sat at Mr. Donut. They're like ants racing to some sort of sweets scattered all over the mall.

Well back to my new bag. I used this yesterday, ofcourse to match my red shoes. Every friday is wash day so we can wear maong pants and t-shirts.

Yesterday, I met Lady to treat her out for an hour facial at Dermstrata. It's my gift for her for Christmas since she wont be around to spend the holidays. :-(
It was already pass 8 when we finished but it's ok. We were both contented and felt 10X prettier and fresh. hehe. It was cold inside Dermstrata so we thought of something to warm us up. A joined us for dinner at the new Chinese Noodle House across Max's at Level 2. I had spicy spareribs noodles, Lady had fried pork chop noodles, while A had one of their house specialties. We ended the night sending Lady to her crib in Sampaloc and bid her with a kiss and good luck.

Have a safe flight to SG Lades! Mwah.

And speaking of gifts, I started to buy and wrap christmas presents this month to avoid rush-hour-last-minute-gift-shopping next month. Tomorrow, will visit Divi. Yikes! I will face another battle of tawaran+buhat+siksikan blues. I hope all will turn out well.

BTW, I will end this post by introducing Kelly Carebear. Got her from one of my shopping escapades at Trinoma. Isn't she super cute? She's the newest member of my mini stuff toys. And She's my favorite too.

Happy Birthday Bro

2008-11-08T19:05:00.002+08:00

To my youngest Bro, Happy 15th Birthday Bunso!!!
It's sad that you are under the whether but it will not stop us celebrating this day.

Keep up your good grades and strive for the 90's.
Kuya A and I will treat you out next week. *wink*

Labsyuso. Mwah!

Sandosenang Sapatos

2008-11-06T12:35:00.005+08:00

A nice, heartfelt story forwarded by a friend through email. 2001 Palanca 1st price winner.
After reading....I found myself in tears.....

Sandosenang Sapatos

ni Luis P. Gatmaitan, M.D.

Sapatero si Tatay. Kilalang-kilala ang mga likha niyang sapatos dito sa aming bayan. Marami ang pumupunta sa amin para magpasadya. Ayon sa mga sabi-sabi, tatalunin pa raw ng mga sapatos ni Tatay ang mga sapatos na gawang-Marikina. Matibay, pulido, at malikhain ang mga disenyo ng kanyang mga sapatos.
"Paano mo ba naiisip ang ganyang istilo? Kay ganda!"
"Siguro, dinadalaw ka ng musa ng mga sapatos at suwelas."
"Parang may madyik ang iyong kamay!"
Sa lahat ng papuri, matipid na ngingiti lamang si Tatay. Tahimik na tao si Tatay. Bihirang magsalita.
Lumaki akong kapiling ang mga sapatos na gawa ni Tatay. Madalas ay kinaiinggitan ako ng mga kalaro at kaklase ko. Buti raw at sapatero ang Tatay ko. Lagi tuloy bago ang sapatos ko kapag pasukan, kapag pasko, kapag bertdey ko, o kung nakatanggap ako ng honors sa klase. Ginagawan pa niya ako ng ekstrang sapatos kapag may mga tira-tirang balat at tela.
"Buti ka pa Karina, laging bago ang sapatos mo. Ako, lagi na lang pamana ng ate ko. Sa 'kin napupunta lahat ng pinagkaliitan n'ya," himutok ng isang kaklase.
Nasa Grade II na ako nang muling magbuntis si Nanay. Kay tagal naming hinintay na magkaroon ako ng kapatid. Sabi ng Lola ko, sinagot na raw ang matagal nilang dasal na masundan ako.
"Naku, magkakaroon na pala ako ng kahati sa mga sapatos! Pero di bale, dalawa na kaming igagawa ni Tatay ng sapatos ngayon."
Habang nasa tiyan pa si baby, narinig kong nag-uusap sina Tatay at Nanay.
"Nagpa-check up ako kanina. Sabi ng doktora, babae raw ang magiging anak natin!"
"Talaga! Kung babae nga, pag-aralin natin ng ballet . Gusto kong magkaanak ng ballet dancer ! Ngayon pa lang ay pag-aaralan ko nang gumawa ng mga sapatos na pang- ballet ."
Pero hindi lahat ng pangarap ni Tatay ay natupad. Nagulat kaming lahat nang makita ang bago kong kapatid. Wala itong paa. Ipinanganak na putol ang dalawang paa!
Nakarinig kami ng kung ano-anong tsismis dahil sa kapansanan ng kapatid ko. Siguro raw ay binalak na ipalaglag ni Nanay ang kapatid ko kaya kulang-kulang ang parte ng katawan. Nilusaw raw ng mga mapinsalang gamot ang kanyang mga paa. Isinumpa raw ng mga diwata ng sapatos si Tatay dahil mahal na itong sumingil sa mga pasadyang sapatos. O baka raw ipinaglihi si Susie sa manika.
"Nanay, bakit po ba walang paa si Susie?"
"Nagkaroon kasi ako ng impeksyon anak. Nahawa ako ng German measles habang ipinagbubuntis ko pa lang ang kapatid mo. At.iyon ang naging epekto," malungkot na kuwento ni Nanay.
Hindi na magiging ballet dancer ang kapatid ko. Malulungkot si Tatay. Araw-araw, ganu'n ang naiisip ko kapag nakikita ko ang mga paa ni Susie. Kaya pinilit ko si Nanay na muling pag-aralin ako sa isang ballet school (dati kasi, ayaw kong mag-ballet). Pero.
"Misis, bakit hindi n'yo po subukang i-enrol si Karina sa piano, o sa painting, o sa banduria class? Hindi yata talagang para sa kanya ang pagsasayaw," sabi ng titser ko sa Nanay ko.
Nalungkot ako. Hindi para sa aking sarili, kundi para kina Tatay at Susie, at sa mga pangarap na masyadong mailap.
Saksi ako kung paanong minahal siya nina Tatay at Nanay. Walang puwedeng manloko kay Bunso. Minsan, habang kami ay nagpipiknik sa parke, may isang mama na nakakita kay Susie.
"Tingnan n'yo o, puwedeng pang-karnabal 'yung bata!" turo nito kay Susie.
Biglang namula si Tatay sa narinig. Tumikom ang mga kamao. Noon ko lang nakitang nagsalubong ang mga kilay ni Tatay. Muntik na niyang suntukin ito. "Ano'ng problema mo, ha?"
Mabuti't napigilan siya ni Nanay.
Isang gabi, habang nakahiga kami sa kama , narinig kong kinakausap ni Tatay si Susie.
"Anak, hindi baleng kulang ang mga paa mo. Mas mahalaga sa amin ng Nanay mo na lumaki kang mabuting tao at buo ang tiwala sa sarili." Masuyo niya itong hinalikan.
Hindi tumigil si Tatay sa paglikha ng sapatos para sa akin. Pero napansin ko, kapag sinusukatan niya ang paa ko, napapabuntung-hininga siya. Pagkatapos ay titingin sa kuna.
"Sayang, Bunso, di mo mararanasang isuot ang magagarang sapatos na gawa ni Tatay." bulong ko sa kanya.
Lumaki kami ni Susie na malapit ang loob sa isa't isa. Hindi naging hadlang ang kawalan niya ng paa para makapaglaro kami. Marami namang laro na di nangangailangan ng paa. Lagi nga niya akong tinatalo sa sungka, jackstone , scrabble, at pitik-bulag. Ako ang tagapagtanggol niya kapag may nanghaharot sa kanya. Ako ang tagatulak ng wheelchair niya. Ako ang ate na alalay!
Noon ko natuklasan na marami kaming pagkakatulad. Parehong magaling ang aming kamay kaysa aming mga paa. Ako, sa pagpipinta. Siya, sa pagsusulat ng mga kuwento. At oo nga pala, si Tatay, kamay rin ang magaling sa kanya!
Minsan, ginising ako ni Susie. Sabi niya, nanaginip siya ng isang pambihirang sapatos. Napakaganda raw nito sa kanyang mga paa.
"May paa siya sa panaginip?" gulat na tanong ko sa sarili.
"Maniwala ka, Ate, kay ganda ng sapatos sa panaginip ko. Kulay dilaw na tsarol na may dekorasyong sunflower sa harap!"
Magbebertdey siya noon . At napansin ko, tuwing nalalapit na ang kanyang kaarawan, nananaginip siya ng mga sapatos.
"Ate, nanaginip na naman ako ng sapatos. Kulay pula ito na velvet at may malaking buckle sa tagiliran."
Binanggit din niya sa akin ang sapatos na kulay asul na bukas ang dulo at litaw ang mga daliri niya. Ang sapatos na puti na may kaunting takong at may ribbon na pula. Ang sapatos na yari sa maong na may burdang buwan at mga bituin. Ang sandalyas na parang lambat. Ang kulay lilang sapatos na may nakadikit na bilog na kristal sa harap.
Manghang-mangha ako sa kung paanong natatandaan niya maski ang pinakamaliliit na detalye ng mga sapatos - ang disenyong bulaklak, ribbon, butones, sequins , beads , o buckle . Inaangkin niya ang mga sapatos na 'yon.
"Ate, paglaki ko, susulat ako ng mga kuwento tungkol sa mga sapatos na napapanaginipan ko. Ikaw ang magdodrowing, ha?"
Paglipas pa ng ilang taon, namahinga na si Tatay sa paglikha ng mga sapatos. Gumagawa na lamang siya ng sapatos para sa mga suking di matanggihan. Noong nagdaos siya ng kaarawan, niregaluhan ko siya ng isa kong painting na may nakapintang isang pares ng maugat na kamay na lumilikha ng sapatos. Binigyan naman siya ni Susie ng isang music box na may sumasayaw na ballet dancer .
"Pinasaya n'yo ang Tatay n'yo," sabi ni Nanay.
Pagkatapos noon , naging masasakitin na siya. Labindalawang taon si Susie nang pumanaw si Tatay.
Isang araw, hindi sinasadya'y napagawi ako sa bodega. Naghahalungkat ako ng mga lumang sapatos na puwedeng ipamigay sa mga bata sa bahay-ampunan Sa paghahalughog, nabuksan ko ang isang kahong mukhang matagal nang hindi nagagalaw. Naglalaman ito ng maliliit na kahon. Mga kahon ng sapatos na maingat na nakasalansan!
" Para kanino ang mga sapatos? May umorder ba na hindi nai-deliver?" tanong ko sa sarili.
Pero nang masdan ko ang mga pares ng sapatos na 'yon, nagulat ako. Taglay ng mga sapatos ang pinakamahuhusay na disenyo ni Tatay. Iba-iba ang sukat nito. May sapatos na pang-baby. May sapatos na pambinyag. May pang- first communion . May pangpasyal. May pamasok sa eskuwelahan. May pangsimba. May sapatos na pang-dalagita.
Lalo akong nagulat nang mabasa ang kanyang dedication sa nakasabit na papel:
Para sa pinakamamahal kong si Susie,
Alay sa kanyang unang kaarawan
Inisa-isa ko ang mga kahon. Lahat ng sapatos na nandoon ay para kay Susie. Diyata't iginagawa ni Tatay si Susie ng mga sapatos?
Para kay Susie, lugod ng aking buhay
Sa pagsapit niya ng ikapitong kaarawan
Taon-taon, hindi pumalya si Tatay sa paglikha ng sapatos sa tuwing magdaraos ng kaarawan si Susie! Sandosenang sapatos lahat-lahat.
Handog sa mahal kong bunso
Sa kanyang ika-12 kaarawan
Napaiyak ako nang makita ang mga sapatos. Hindi ko akalaing ganu'n pala kalalim magmahal si Tatay. Binitbit ko ang sandosenang sapatos at ipinakita ko kina Nanay at Susie.
"H-Hindi ko alam na may ginawa siyang sapatos para sa 'yo, Susie." Namuo ang luha sa mga mata ni Nanay. "Inilihim niya sa akin ang mga sapatos."
"A-Ate, ito ang mga sapatos na napanaginipan ko." Hindi makapaniwalang sabi ni Susie habang isa-isang hinahaplos ang mga sapatos.
"Ha?"
Noon ko lang naalala ang mga sapatos na ikinukuwento ni Susie.
Dilaw na tsarol na may dekorasyong sunflower sa harap. Kulay pulang velvet na may malaking buckle sa tagiliran. Asul na sapatos na bukas ang dulo at litaw ang mga daliri. Kulay puti na may kaunting takong at may ribbon na pula. Sapatos na yari sa maong na may burdang buwan at mga bituin. Sandalyas na parang lambat. Kulay lilang sapatos na may nakadikit na bilog na kristal sa harap.
Naisip ko, tinawid kaya ng pag-ibig ni Tatay ang mga panaginip ni Susie para maipasuot sa kanya ang mga sapatos?
Hindi ko tiyak.
Ang tiyak ko lang, hindi perpekto ang buhay na ito. Gaya ng hindi perpekto ang pagkakalikha sa kapatid ko. Pero may mga perpektong sandali. Gaya ng mga sandaling nilikha ni Tatay ang pinakamagagarang sapatos para kay Susie.

Rest now, my sweet angel

2008-10-26T23:22:00.008+08:00

It was on the 9th of Oct when I first saw you.
You were so small at your age. Thin and pale. Your body looks so fragile So I did not attempt to hold you nor come close to you. I learned that it was all because of a heart and lung problem.

From afar I just looked at you. Your body, your face, your eyes. Those eyes were like of your Dad. And from then on, I felt a leap in my heart. You are truely a part of the family.

And so the days pass and as usual, I went to my daily errands.
I seldom saw you but each morning i hear your cries.
When I'm home, i got the chance to stare at you longer, but still from afar. I didn't have the courage to carry you. I didn't care that much.

But you win my heart despite of me trying to snub you. Then I realized I'm buying you things one at a time. Baby booties, baby dresses, nail clipper. I was even excited to buy you stuff....loads of 'em. I was planning to give you that stroller for Christmas so we can stroll all day long at the mall.
I even demand that you call me "Tita Pretty". It was so cute when you stare at me while your Mom tells you..."Don't cry, magagalit si Tita Pretty". Then you stopped when our eyes met.

Then one day i heard the news when I was still at work.
Your condition became serious. I rushed to the hospital to checked on you.
My heart crashed when I saw you there lying on the bed with needles and tubes. Grasping for breath. Fighting for life. But i have to put a strong and brave face....for you Mom....for you Dad.

And finally, i had that chance to hold you coz your Mom had to tend on the paper works.
Your hands locked on my finger. It was an amazing feeling. I wanted to cry but hold back the tears. Each cry you made torn my heart. Each grasp for breath choked my throat. That time, I can feel your pain.
The Lord knows how I wept and beg for your recovery. How i bargain just to extend your life with us.

I decided not to see and visit you at the hospital today for I no longer can stand to see your agony. It send me shivers imagining your state through SMS updates I got from your parents...And like a candle your light slowly fade says your Dad.

I don't want to lose hope. I put my trust in the Lord. He created you and gave you life. Only him can take it back...God know's what is best for you. Thy will be done. I prayed and prayed from the time you were admitted until today. True enough He heard my plea. To spare you from all the pain and suffering your tiny body can stand no more. He ended it, just like blowing out a candle's light. You were 4 months old. Your light stopped to shine. Just like that.

And just like that, my dreams of us together....shopping...Christmas....your baptismal....your 1st birthday....all possible bonding moments....all gone. Though sad and in tears now, I have to accept it. We have to accept the truth.

Thank you sweety for visiting us. Thank you for your two-week stay at our house. You brought smile to us. You added light and colors to our lives. You make our house a home.
Our time together maybe too short but it was worth while. That less than 30 minutes of tending you, holding your tiny hands, telling you that all will be fine....were memories I wont ever forget.

Mamita and Lolo, along with your Tito's will missed you dearly. You will always be engraved in your Mom and Dad's heart forever.

Bring my kisses and my hugs as you go there in heaven to meet the Father.

I love you Baby.

- Tita Pretty

Falling In Love: Is It Worth It?

2008-09-12T12:48:00.002+08:00

Snatched from Charo's multiply site.....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes in the past, late at night, when it's too quiet to pretend, I worry if I believe in anything at all or at least in anything beautiful. I believed in change because it is permanent. I believed in pain because it is sometimes physical. I believed in anger because it can consume you. But I was not sure I can believe in either love or trust. I could not then understand these two things most people build their dreams on.

Love fails to be unconditional by that one condition itself. It ends when we fall out of it. Then, we claim it never was love because love shouldn't die. It is forever. But when it becomes a routine (like saying "I love you" for instance), love does die. Lastly, when love turns selfish, confusing and burdensome, it isn't beautiful anymore.

As for trust, it was self-explanatory until I doubted it. When curiosity gives way to suspicion, betrayal isn't far behind. For every failed judgment we ask ourselves: "Did I trust too little or too much?". It is difficult to shut up every question in favor of complete trust, only to realize too late something you could have known had you only asked. Where does love and trust start and end?

I have seen hundreds of people disappointed over unfulfilling relationships. I have seen passion turn into poison. I have grieved with them for the love they lost or never found. We seem to love so much, but now it's gone. We ask ourselves: "Why do I feel so lonely even if he's right beside me? Why can't our relationship be more than this?".

I think all people have at one point in their life experienced the painful realization of a love unrequited. Even with all the discouragement, even with all the well-intentioned advice from friends, falling in love is a no-going-back event. Unfortunately, time can't be reversed.

Now, falling in love in itself is doubted by people around you. They cannot feel the warmth that consumes you. They cannot ache with the turbulent and confusing anxiety and joy that grips you. They do not know the mental stress you experience trying to rationalize your emotions. They cannot believe that you do not want to be in love with a person who doesn't love you back. Oftentimes, people in love are painted as puppies following their loved ones at a distance and enjoying it. Oftentimes, people in love are misunderstood.

Who can enjoy running around with your heart on your sleeve? It's like trying to cross a tightrope and always falling into jagged cliffs because you are nervous, oh so nervous! Loving and loving without getting any response can be destructive to anyone. It is a thousand deaths every time. It's an "unmourned" for death because no one else can understand.

Love is not sustained by hope but by wishes. There's a difference. No matter how perverse, people suffering from unrequited love try to get out of it while secretly wishing that he'd give a sign to show it isn't hopeless. In desperation, unrequited lovers can even imagine signs if only to remain sane.

How can you love a brick wall? A dead end? A slavery without any sign of salvation? How foolish! How unreasonable! Unfortunately, how human too!

"Why won't she love me? What is wrong with me?", scattered thoughts echoing such pain are not exactly abnormal. Even the best-looking, best-hearted people can't always expect others to love them back. Why? People sometimes need to feel unloved by everyone so that they learn to love themselves.

There is nothing wrong with unrequited love. It happens all the time. I wont delude you into thinking that if she can't love you back she is not worth it. In fact, believe that she is. She is worth it all: the headaches, the anxiety, the embarrassment, etc. She is worth it because, like you, she needs others loving her. This sounds funny but the world is round for a reason. We are all part of a circle. If you love her and she loves someone else, just think of whom you're hurting by loving her. It's a cycle. Whose love are you not returning?

I know we can love deeply, tenderly, and lastingly. I have seen such love and I have felt such love myself. I learned that, aside from love and trust, a fulfilling relationship begins when two people make their time together their number one priority. If we hope to find love, we must first find time for loving. Many couples experienced a tragic moment together that taught them to value their time together. How we see our partners often depends on how we are than how they are. We are not audience but participant observers in each other's lives.

I used to ask myself where the love between my ex-girlfriend and I had gone. Maybe it's because we forgot that we are the ones who make it. Love was not out there. It was here between my ex and me. Before, I saw her as a very sweet, caring, patient, and loyal person. But now it's different. It seemed like I'm the only one who does the loving. She really changed a lot. People really do change. Our hurtful and infantile arguments illustrate how we, instead of looking for love, may look for flaws. We spent the relationship struggling to change each other's minds. But I realized it a little too late.

We must accept that there are many realities and learn to accept different points of view. My ex then became my eye-opener. She saw what I never could, and I do the same for her. We made points of view between the two of us that's totally different from either one of us. She was there with me when it can be too cold or too warm. Both of us were restless, yearning for more than what we had, what we were. Everything was unbalanced and unpredictable. In a most imperfect setting, two not-so-perfect people shared something so very simple---a perfectly imperfect friendship---it's enough. At least she gave me something beautiful to believe in (love and trust).

I have felt so much pain during the relationship with my ex. It was hard to accept that I have loved someone who had stopped loving me. Now, I couldn't help ask myself why do I no longer believe in these two beautiful ideas (love and trust). Why can't I give myself a chance to be in love again? Maybe I'm just too scared. Or perhaps, maybe because I had been waiting for a perfect moment, a perfect someone, and a perfect me. Maybe because I had always felt that beliefs ought to be perfect---ideal, so to speak ugh!

At the end of the day, when all is said and done, loving without being loved back is the best thing to do because feeling so much pain, I learn to heal; knowing so much fear, I learn to stand up to anything; carrying so much sadness, I learn to glorify in joy. Love is not destroyed by a single failure or won by a single caress. It is a lifetime venture in which we're always learning, discovering and growing.

Lastly, this may be a cliché but there is someone who is right for you (and even for me), and even if she's not, she'd still be right because loving doesn't make sense until you accept it and make it real.

ERASERHEADS REUNION CONCERT

2008-08-31T22:27:00.004+08:00

Well it has been more than 24 hours now since EHeads' heated concert last night at The Fort Global City Open field and I was so damn happy to be part of it. Take note, as a VIP guest. Nyahahaha (A heartfelt thanks for Marcus for including us on his VIP list --- uberthanks).

As everybody knows, the concert was put to a sudden stop. huhuhu. Ely can't continue with the concert anymore due to physical and emotional stress he has gone with as mentioned by his sister and the concert promoters 20 mins after the first set. I almost dropped my jaw to the soil. It was just 15 songs yah know! We are still waiting for Pare ko, Magasin and Huling El Bimbo. But reality bites. Ely's health is much more important ofcourse. Despite of everything that had happened to Ely's family, he still put up a strong face coz THE SHOW MUST GO ON!....and I loved Ely more just because of that. He could have finished it ofcourse with flying colors.... Good thing, he is now stable and his health condition is improving at Phil. Heart Center.

To sum it all, the concert was an A-OK + all thumbs UP mainly because of these good reasons.

It didn't rain at the Fort unlike at some area such as Caloocan and QC.
We had a really good-almost-few-meters-spot away from the stage. (Thanks Ayeth and BJ for saving it for us)
We got IN at ZERO COST!!! (Again thanks Marcus for adding us on your VIP list) and most especially....
Seeing that 4 HEADS reunite once again! Whew!!! A total BLAST!

Surely, there will be another round. Raymund, Buddy and Markus voiced it out in one of the interviews I saw from the TV news. Yihhhheeeee! *Can't wait*

Bits and pieces of memories of yesterday's concert still playing in my head. hehehe

Here are some links of pictures and videos from fellow E-fans.

Decisions

2008-08-26T00:27:00.003+08:00

The whole month of August, I made MAJOR decisions for myself. Well, almost everyday, I made decisions. Typical example is, either to take the cab going to a place or just take a ride via MRT/LRT. What dress to wear for the day or what food to eat...and goes the petty list of decisions and ofcourse choices I have on my plate. And so, here's some of these decisions I made ...(well, I decided not to list all :P)

- Changed my blog template
- Career move (Whew! this one was tough)
- Sport a new hair style! (It's officially curly :P)
- Who to prioritized first?
- Cost cutting (Need vs Want *sigh*)
- Almost deleted my friendster account and
- Etc. :P

Actually, I have so much to share and put in writing but was too lazy-lazy-bored-lazy-and-lazy to do IT.
So most of the time, I ended just surfing the net (as usual) and play PC games (as often as possible).

Maybe it's time to decide on spending my time to a much-more-sensible-good-worthy stuff like......hhhmmmmmm......cleaning my closet??? hahaha!!!! That I need to accomplished while I'm on my so-called-week-long vacation before I start my new job on a new office ofcourse next month! Yippee!

But the KILIG meter did not hit 100%...mainly because He has been an A so he sent me this. (damage control?) Duh?!!!! What if he's not acting such? Will i still get this?!!!!
Oh well....good luck to me.

But at least He never stops surprising me in his own sweet-little way.

Finally...something FRESH

2008-07-06T23:06:00.007+08:00

Yeah I know....it's been ages since the last time i posted an entry. There are a zillion reasons why i don't bother to key in even a word on this page. But now, just let me shove off the cobwebs and do this.

Aaaahhhh, Finally, this is something FRESH.
Well, I just thought that it's about time to get serious on my long pending "must-do-it-plan" and start with the basic which practically is =====> D-I-E-T

And when I say FRESH...i meant this:

OMG! I think I'm gonna enjoy this eat-all-the-green-ish-leafy-garden-crops-til-you-be-a-goat-y-lass, provided, it taste really sumptuous like this. Plus the fact that It was me who prepared this!!! (I'm just proud of myself. Hihihi. )

Bottom line...it's Hmmmmmmm......Yummy!!! :P

I will worry about the exercise later!

hahaha....procastinating...again? *wink*

I am "Y"

2008-05-18T23:03:00.003+08:00

A: "Ikaw ang "Y" sa buhaY ko.

me: "Huh?"

A: "Sabi ko, Ikaw ang "Y" sa buhaY ko.

me: "why?"

A: "Dahil, hindi makukumpleto kung wala ka sa buhaY ko. BUHA na lang sya....Oh, di ba? Ang panget. Hehe

me: "Ngee!!!! Corny ah! Hahahaha"

*but, i was kilig todo....secretly*

Accomplishments

2008-03-21T16:13:00.009+08:00

Since my rig's HDD crashed, i failed to update this blog. So several things happened and events has passed. But now that i have this rig up and running once again, i can't wait to post entries! Whooot!!! whoott!!!

--------------------------

If things went rough between individuals, there will be SILENCE. If you want to break the silence, just give me these! *wink*

and this....

Hehehe...very typical girl.

----------------------------

Beep (part 3)

Step 1 = DONE
Step 2 = DONE
Step 3 = DONE
Step 4 = upcoming *wink*

Finally, Step 3 is over. I now have my Non-Pro Driver's License. *talon-talon*
Still have to practice a lot to be more confident and relax on the road. hehe
For Step 4, this will take some time for sure but i will try hard to accomplish it.

---------------------------

As promised, here's my final verdict. Eleven Minutes is a great, entertaining, enticing and educational romance book. I found part of me that somehow relates to the main character. Bottomline, This book is worth reading. You should try it too.

Now, I'm busy reading this....

-----------------------

I'm glad and proud as well because, slowly, I am learning Photoshop on my own! *wide grin*

-----------------------

Lent is the season most people contemplate about their lives, things they've done and things need to be done. For some, they find this season a time to relax and enjoy their vacation on various tourist destinations. But for me, this should not be the only time for us to reflect. Everyday, we should put Christ in our lives and be a good sheep to his herd. We should not waste each sweat, tear and blood Christ has paid for our sins. We should carry our own cross and follow HIM.

Yes I am no perfect, but i'm trying to be as good as I can.

To my Savior, thy praise and glory are yours now and forever.

*silence*

Back on Tracks!

2008-03-19T23:07:00.002+08:00

Yes! Finally, my rig is up and running now. Got a new HDD. Bigger space than before. One thing though, my other RAM is sort of tiring out. :-(

Geezzz, should I need to buy a NEW set now? That's a No-NO!!!
Got to save for next month! :P

Me excited!!! Whoot! Whoot!!

Bottomline, I'm happy coz i have my PC back! Just need to tune other parts. hehe

Hiatus

2008-02-27T20:06:00.002+08:00

For some technical pickle, i will not be able to post entries. So my blog will be on slight-Hiatus-mode. :P

This is just a sneak post made here in the office.

Waaahhhh.....i'm still working my ass out. :-(

How much time do you have?

2008-02-10T16:02:00.000+08:00

This is what i am reading when I have my spare time. Like when I travel from home to office and vice versa. Or simply when I'm just plainly killing time.

Maria is the name of the main character here. She's a Brazilian local who grew up in a small town, discovering things by herself. According to her, often times, their country is misspelled with a "z" when in fact it should be with an "s".

For her, love is terrible! And the little experiences in life taught her that no one own's anything, that everything is an illusion.

Will give my full review after i finished this book. :-)

The best

2008-02-07T18:34:00.000+08:00

Of all the Halo-halo I've tasted, this is the BEST!!!

Thumbs up!!! Tongue's OUT! Yummy indeed.

Milky Way's Halo Halo is only P99 per serving.
Milky Way is located at Arnaiz Ave, Makati City. Their Bagoong Alamang is also great!!! It makes their Kare Kare a dish you'll never forget. They sell it at P160 per bottle. Take note, they always run out of stock. I am not fortunate enough to get one every time I visit their store. :-(

Beep (part 2)

2008-02-04T22:29:00.000+08:00

Step 1 = √
Step 2 = √
Step 3 = upcoming *wink*

Step 2: Thanks to Mang Nel of Socialites, Makati. :P

To complete Step 3, I need to practice more. Already talked with Mang Jun and Mang Rei about this. They both agreed to assist me so I can get my license the soonest!

I'm excited! *wide grin*

Whew! I just realized....

2008-02-02T13:33:00.000+08:00

I no longer have my Labandera.....waaaahhhhh!!!
It's been a month now. *sad face*
For every two weeks now, I rely on laundry service near our place. It's P28 per kilo. Not bad for the service is ok. My clothes smells really nice and clean.

But today, yes today, since I'm trying to cut cost...i tried to wash all my "pambahay, jogging pants and pantulog". Ang hirap pala! Whew! Partida, the washing machine did the washing ofcourse, but the rinsing part was done manually. Huhuhu. My back ached...ang Hirap pala kahit magbanlaw lang? *haba nguso*

Guess next time...i'll just have to deposit all my used clothes at the laundry service.
*Sigh* Ilang kilo kaya lahat aabutin? *esep mode*

Trip ko lang...

2008-01-12T16:04:00.001+08:00

I want to explore and try NEW things....

so i got these.....hihihi

Oks ba? *wink*

Woke up at 11AM. Played some worship song. Prepared my breakfast. Ate it while having conversation with my Mom then...BOOM!!!

I lost my temper!

I must have woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

*Sigh*

Another long vacation...

2007-11-01T15:39:00.000+08:00

YeS! Four (4) days that I can spend either for socializing, soul searching (ei, not the mumu ha!), relaxation, family bonding, etc. Anything I want to do under the sun! hahaha! *talon - talon*

To start, yesterday, our office let us out earlier than the usual however, since i have to meet A, leaving office early was of no use. So, I stayed an hour and half more at the office and picked A at Ayala. We had dinner at Bacolod Chicken Inasal at Paseo Center. Chinkey joined us too and we had a good night laughing about things, people, experiences, etc. Imagine, we were only 3 as a crowd but oh boy, we filled the dining area of our endless mirth.

From Makati, the 3 of us headed to Rockwell as Chinx wanted to get a new bag from Sapato Manila. Too bad, the store were already closing and Chinkey can’t remember the exact loc of the shop. After having the guts to ask one of the guards, we finally found the store! Yes!...But, lights were off. :(

Oh yeah, that’s life…Rockwell closes at 9pm. The 3 of us thought that it closes at 10.

So off we go. Got a cab and instructed the driver to bring us to Greenhills. A got a compli tix at Klownz Greenhills. We ejected Chinx somewhere near Guadalupe for her to pic a cab going to her nest. I just hope she got home safe. (nwei, she can take care of herself...ayt Cadz?)

While inside the cab, my feet throbbed so I searched for my shoebag where i hid my pair of havaianas only to find out that it was missing…waaaahhhhhh!!!

A left it in the other cab we rode from Makati to Rockwell!!

My goodness, It’s havaianas!!! It’s even more expensive than my pair of Charles & Keith! ( coz I got them on sale!!! Hehehe) But still, it’s Havaianas!!! *faints*

Ayt, nothing more I can do about it. A should and SHOULD get me a new pair! I am really DEMANDING for it! He better get me one the SOONEST! HMP!

Nwei, we came in at Klownz almost 10PM. There were 5 comedians on stage and a thick crowd cheering and beaming in response to the host's jokes. Since we came in a bit late, we ended getting a not-so-good seats somewhere on the side. So, we ordered some swigs + pork sisig.

The gay comedians really got talent! Even Jose Manalo of Eat Bulaga and Tuesday Vargas added more sizzling fun and hilarious green jokes all through out the night. Though I lost my havaianas, the hosts made my night (even my morning) right.

Hep, I got another compli tix scheduled on Nov. 4. Anyone wants it? *wink*

Beep

2007-10-12T13:00:00.000+08:00

Yehey! Step 1 accomplished. *talon-talon*

Me excited for Step 2.... *wink*

On the other note, i felt bad coz imagine, i payed P143.00 when in fact the amt reflected in my receipt was only P142.63. Yes, it was just 37 cents...
Now, assuming that there is an average of 1000 people who will apply for Student's license for 1 day, when you do the math there will be a total of P88,800 instant "kurakot" money for one (1) year.

0.37 x 1000 = 370 in one day
370 x 5 = 1,850 in one week
1,850 x 4 = 7,400 in one month and
7,400 x 12 = 88,800 in one year

Whew! tsk tsk tsk...

My new Crush (hihi..KiLiG!)

2007-09-29T18:05:00.000+08:00

While browsing the web, particularly You tube. I was actually looking for the video of Rihanna. Her hit single "Umbrella", coz i haven't seen it yet. but then i came across to this very pretty and talented girl. Her name is Marie Digby. Geez, I like her so much. Aside from being pretty, she can play the guitar very well and the piano too. She has this very sweet, captivating voice. Haaaaayyyy, mega crush ko talaga sya.

She has done her own song rendition of songs of Nelly Furtado, James Morrison, Linkin Park, Maroon 5 and others. 'Cor's she has her own original songs too. And because of that, i downloaded her songs....yihaaa.

Actually, I first heard a similar version of KC Concepcion that she sung at ABS-CBN's Sunday's Best entitled "From Paris to Pinas". hmmm...well, acoustic versions are really fascinating to listen.

Here's Marie's video of Umbrella...

Just killing time.....

The Birthday that was....

2007-09-26T23:07:00.001+08:00

All the while, i told him that there will be no present for him on his birthday. And as the "pakunswelo" i promised, i made him 3 e-Cards. Yes, A for effort toh! I did take time to browse and customize 3 eCards. But knowing this ever papansin creature, (kunwari pa daw he was just checking on me...pero wag ka, he just wanted me the first to greet him a happy birthday!)
Duh!!! Di makapaghintay. So, para naman hindi mapahiya ng konti, i just simply greeted him a "happy birthday".

To make the gimik more effective, i bought 2 birthday cards from the bookstore (sunday, Sept 16) and i chose the one saying

outer message:

"sorry ha, wala talaga akong regalo para sa iyong kaarawan....card lang na bumabati ng Happy birthday kaibigan..."

Inner message:

"Samantalang yung iba, patext-text lang!"

So, the 18th was a busy day for me attending to meetings outside the office and doing my regular routine at work. He picked me up few minutes past 6. Outside the office, i told him that we go home straight (but that was part of the plan to make him pissed...hehehe). I made an excuse that I wasn't hungry. And yes! I was successful making him irritated.

We are walking past our bldg when i blurted out that I have a surprise for him. Quickly, his eyes glittered as if nabuhayan ng loob that he will not go home empty handed. So, i gave him this small cute greeting card. Hahaha! I can still remember the disappointment on his face as he finished reading it.

So as we stride the street going to corner streets of Dela Rosa and Amorsolo, i can't believed he blustered about me not doing any effort of getting him any descent gift apart from the eCards and the actual Birthday card...Ranting that "mabuti pa yung mga inaanak mo, hindi mo nakakalimutan bilhan ng gift, samantalang ako! Ako! BF mo naman ako! Anu ba naman?!"

Tsk tsk tsk...super kawawa...hehehe. Nakisama pa ang bad weather that night. It rain hard and we had a hard time getting a cab as well. That time, i'm thinking of bringing him to TOSH because of the cozy atmosphere and the place is normally not to jam-packed. But the rain+no gift+time+hunger made Mr. Swave wavy 100x upset. (Hihi. Me just smiled and was relaxed waiting for the ride to come).

After 20mins or so, still no empty cab. So when came an FX, i immediately hailed it. Plan no. 1 which was to go to TOSH, suddenly disappeared and replaced by us going to Giligans for a few swigs. But since i like to have some pasta, Mr. Wavymoks suggested for us to go to Italianis instead.

So off we went to G3. Good heavens, A has a 500 worth of GC at Italianis. Haha! The Certified Mr. K talaga (stands for Kuripot) Sticky rice...yeah boy bring it on! *wink*

So inside the resto, we ordered some salad, pasta, fish and fruit shakes to share to fill our growling tummies. While waiting for the food to be served, A checks on what's inside my Charles & Keith paper bag. Cors, i told him it's my Charles & Keith shoes. But he kept on checking on the other stuff inside until he discovered my little secret, wrapped in a National bookstore plastic bag. Hay, super pakialamero talaga. So keen on checking any gift for him. So, the plan of making him 10 million super bwisit did not happen. Nonetheless, when he opened the box, napawi agad ang lungkot sa mga labi ni Mokong at napalitan ng matamis na ngiti. hehehe

Cors i had something for him that he surely likey...and can be used in the office. I've been thinking of it for 3 months!

And when we're almost finished eating, the waiters sung a medly of cool and kwela birthday song for him and gave him a birthday plate with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream topped with 1 blue candle and scribbled the word "Happy Birthday Adrian!"

Nwei, the day served it's purpose. I hope you had a very happy birthday Honey....mwah! mwah! mwah!

New baby

2007-08-23T22:46:00.000+08:00

His name is Patty. The newest addition in the family.
Why Patty? Coz he's yellow. Sort of related to Hepatitis. Cut the letters "Pa-ti" so now, it's Patty! Har har har. *Toink* Watta not-so-brilliant way to baptized a toy. Nwei, we (I & HoneyMoks), got him from the amusement center. Timezone to be exact. hehehe. Together with the sweet mallows and variety of candies and chocolates plus chips at the Candy Factory. *scratch head* Mmmmmm....Did I remember it right? Oh boy! Poor memory.
Nonetheless, yes, we hit the Jackpot. Well, Isn't he adorable? Aaaawwww...

YES!

2007-08-23T19:40:00.000+08:00

Last Sunday, Aug. 19, 2007, I made the BEST DECISION in my life.

YOU are my one and only GOD.

Rain

2007-08-08T23:14:00.000+08:00

It has been a year now. The same season when i almost fall into a sweet trap silently woven by each hour i spent in vain. It was the same season...raining.

As the rain fall steadily since yesterday, it brought memories of past circumstances i never imagined that made me both smile and cry at the same time. Sent me under temporary insanity. That let me afloat and revived the highschool "kilig-ness" I had before. But this incident too, made me understand what i really want. I came to realization that curiosity and keeness to seek for affection will not always leave you with happy endings.

Yes, the warmth of touch will linger. The gentle brush of lips will seal the truth. The willingness to cross borders will always bring soothing excitement. But how long can we play this game? What will it offer?...Danger.

You're too damn dangerous for me to have. And I won't even give it a try. I shouldn't.

Contentment is the answer.

I am very very very happy with what I have NOW.

Who cares?

2007-07-15T22:05:00.000+08:00

Is there any certain standards we have to follow when being in a relationship? Are there rules set that should guide one when the time has come? Should it conform with what should be "accepted by public"? Or should family dictate it for you? Or should friends always have to be part of one's decision in taking a YES or NO?

Relationship...meaning You & Me. I am definitely referring to a relationship between a man and a woman. Relationship as in being LOVERs or being soon-to-be-Lovers.

Now the question is, why oftentimes we are afraid of putting IT onto the next level? Why most of the times, we get intimidated of what OTHERS might say or what OTHERS might think? Family matters and so are Friends. Maybe what they say will give a damn intensity to our decision of what type of relationship we want to have. But still, it will boil down to between YOU and ME. Not THEY, THEM, WE (in general sense of all people you know).

Yes, I completely understand that we always believe or better say, we always wanted to have a fairytale-like romance. That boy meets girl...blah blah blah and they live happily ever after. But these are in books. Hello???!!!! In fairtytale books. We aint no princessess or princes. There aint no fairy that will help us get rid of the witch who wants to screw our lovelife. There aint no author who can write about chapters of what should be on the pages of our life. The author is simply yourselves. And the editor?...maybe the almighty is.

Anyways, to be or not to be in a relationship is always a choice. And it is always someone's right to have a one. Now to make it right, is up to us. It should be YOU and ME that will allways matter. The US, that should make it right no matter what people say. Even family and closest friends. Who cares? 'Cors they will surely care...but until only to a certain point. The choice and happiness still lie at your very own hands. It's up to you which choice to take and what type of happiness to pursue.

I can say, Relationship is simply not simple.

Hesitation

2007-07-12T23:22:00.000+08:00

Often times, I like to write things that's going on my mind. Questions, curiosity, anxiety, stress, mood swings, happiness, excitement, etc. Almost everything that I feel like writing about. But often times too, i just let it slip my thoughts and forget about putting it down to words, phrases, sentences and even symbols that people can read onto. I think one big factor, why i dont write my insanity is when Hesitation strikes. One thing I am sure of is that, yes, I want to share a part of what I am thinking and what I am feeling. But reality bites that I still can not fully reveal what's within me. Guess I still want to be a sort of "mystical-lady-ish-puzzle-like-lass". Cloaking, that's what I call it.

While lack of Time is the 2nd big factor. I am always chasing up time. Time, timing....Oh boy, i am very poor at it. (Let's not go down in details why I said so. Ok? I'll reserve it on another post. )
Nwei, on my way back and forth to work and home, normally, I muster topics i can write about on this not-so-often-visited/read-blog but repeatedly fail to blot it down. Imagine, how can you write while you are struggling to get a better space inside the LRT or MRT? Not a good time huh? Or, how can you comment on something that you see in the mall, when you're passing a thick throng of heads busy to get to their respective places? And as soon as you get home and still have that little energy to power on your almost-dusty-rig....violah...your brain was basically empty.

I guess timing, persistance, willingness, passion...is all i need to get my letters going.

Oooppss...it's time to visit dreamland.

Zzzzzzz.....

Does size matter?

2007-07-12T22:08:00.000+08:00

Does size matter? Guess not! For Xia Shujuan, LOVE matters.

She first married Bao Xishun, last March 26 at Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia but wished to have a traditional Mongolian wedding ceremony too today, July 12, 2006.

Bao, who is 2.36m tall (7' 9") was recognized as the tallest living man by the Guinness Book of Records. His wife, Xia Shujuan, is two-thirds of his size and almost half his age. Xia Shujuan is 29 years old and 1.68 m (5' 6") high.

Hmmm, guess Size and Age did not matter to this lovebirds. And one good thing about being famous too is that they almost get everything for free. Their wedding was sponsored by atleast 15 companies. From the dress, shoes and even up to the liquor drunk at the wedding. Geez, whatta blessing.

Nwei, for typical individuals like us, we have to work our ass out to afford all the elegance and or expenses needed for the big day! Whew! Save all the penny you have NOW! hehe

Well, enuf surfing...that's it for the evening.

Breathe

2007-07-07T23:09:00.000+08:00

I want to scream through words how happy I was a while ago...
Now, I want to sealed my lips and tied these fingers not to reveal how sad I am right now...
Such a sudden twist of emotions...just like that...yes, just like that...

A blink of an eye. One snap. That's it.

How coward, how stupid, how obscure, how immature, how ironic...
Confusing, futile.

The paradox of my insanity...

Hope I will soon be free from this temporary insanity...
Hope the soon be sooner...

"Stolen"

Dashboard Confessional

We watch the season pull up its own stakes

And catch the last weekend of the last week

Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced,

Another sun soaked season fades away

You have stolen my heart

Invitation only, grant farewells

Crush the best one, of the best ones

Clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight

You have stolen my heart

And from the ballroom floor we are in celebration

One good stretch before our hibernation

Our dreams assured and we all, will sleep well

You have stolen
You have stolen my heart

I watch you spin around in the highest heels

You are the best one, of the best ones

We all look like we feel

You have stolen my

You have stolen my heart

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'tis my new song background. hope blog hoppers will like it.

To You, yes you have stolen my heart. And it will be yours forever.

Naks! Ahihihi.

Finally, my search has ended. I found her. My "new" friend. Yeah, I know.... i'm 27, and I admit I still have a heart and yearning of child for a doll that i can sleep with at night. *roll eyes and shrug* So what???!!! I'm not ashamed of this childish thing.

Nwei, I've been looking for a small, cute stufftoy for months. I don't like teddy bears. Though, they're cute and they come in lotsa colors and accessories, still, they didn't ring the bell. I am looking for something that is not so bizarre, but not too mundane either. *gulo* hahaha.

By the way, I named her Zooyac. Cor's A gave her to me. He even get a male version of it. (Thanks a bunch Hon...*tsup*) His name is Gangtee. Now, If you're wondering why on earth we named them these....it's none of your damn business!!! *bheh* But isn't it....Odd? Hahaha, maybe. But it's kinda nice to my ear. And pls. don't argue okie? All I care is that she's so soft, she's cute and i like her. She's sleeping with me for 2 nights now. *wink-wink* More N nights to go.

Huwat!!! I was tagged

2007-06-09T17:39:00.000+08:00

Yeah, yeah...Cadz, ikaw ang may sala nito *toinkz*

Well, I am not really in the mood for writing any of my thoughts...it was so darn obvious, isn't it? My posts get to be so seldom but hey, i still do blog hopping and reading posts from friends. And because I continue such routine, here I am, scribbling some (not all) of my thoughts since I've been tagged by this ever busy+busy+busy gal. *Sigh* I really do miss you a bunch Cadz. *frown*

Nwei, to continue with the game, here's 6 weird things about me.

1. I can't sleep with out lights.
--> Yes. I can't breathe well, if all is black in a room. There should always be a lampshade or a light from an altar light bulb will do.

2. I am not afraid from rats/mice, cockroaches, lizards and frogs.
--> Boys will never enjoy to try to scare me with these creatures! A big sorry guys. hehe. You'll never hear me scream just like the others. Bheh!

3. I dont like marshmallows, jelo and other relative food.
--> Yes, that's true. I dont enjoy chewing these food. Feels like I dont have teeth. I want crunchy foods. Yung tipong tumutunog pa as I chew them. hehehe.

4. I love to eat Cornick+mayonaise+vinegar!
--> Big time! hahaha...yummy mixture. Try nyo rin. *wink*

5. I kept a journal of WWF idols like Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior.
--> Kamusta naman ito? But honestly, yes, I was a wrestling addict fan...BEFORE. It brings me smiles and giggles whenever i remember this mini journal. I dont collect magazines nor posters but I do write about my comments every wrestlemania match, every royal rumble, Rivalries and WWF stars. Bret Hart was my all time favorite. I even cut an id-size picture of him and sticked it on my school ID when I was still in secondary school. It stayed on my Id for a month or so, until the gate guard noticed it and asked me to take it off. I was so sad at that time. And hey, I even cried a lot whenver my Dad switch tv channels on scheduled airtime of WWF.

6. I can't play the hoola hoop.
--> Geez, this was one game I never learned to play when I was a kid...and even until now. hahaha. My waist and hip are not designed for such craft.

So there! My 6-a-bit-shameful things about me...hahaha.
Now, I am tagging you

Hmmmm.....I am really thinking now. *esep-esep*

My Choice

2007-05-14T20:04:00.000+08:00

Today, I exercised my right. My choice to elect whom i think will make a difference and will serve my country right. I hope the rest did the same thing, especially the "thinking" throng.

Sa 'yo Juan dela Cruz, goodluck! Nawa'y tupdin ng mga mahahalal ang kanilang pangako para sayo, sa akin,....sa atin.

Still here

2007-05-05T11:45:00.000+08:00

Yes, I know. It's been a long hiatus.

But hey, i'm still here...alive and kicking.

What's keeping me busy? 'Cors, work! work! work! work! work! Aaaaarrrrrrggghhhh.

W O R K !!!

and this.

Really been a Scofield addict since Season 1. But honestly, season 2 did not excite me the way season 1 did. The storyline was too slow and not very intriguing. It only peaked when I reached episodes 12 onwards. Season 1 made me stay wide awake 'til 4am but season 2 set me in a mood of ' just-let-me-watch-it '. Nonetheless, i will surely wait for this ===>

Haaayyy, I so heart this guy. (kilig) His eyes, lips the whole face...ahihihi. Too mysterious yet so darn sexy.
If looks can really kill....i'm dead now.
Hey, If I will get pregnant, will keep a wall mural of Wentworth's face at home and stare at him every tick of the my idle time so that my child will look a-lot-more-like-his-handsome-ness! ahihihi.

Ohhh...My dear Wentworth.

But ei, of all the characters, T-Bag keeps me well entertained. *wink*

Next in line.... H E R O E S

Infected

2007-04-15T23:31:00.000+08:00

Kakaloka ever!

This was the first phrase I had on my head when me and Adrian finally decided to get a copy of Yeng Constantino's album entitled "Salamat".

Yes, I am a fan. And I am proud to be one. Also, I admit, I am infected by Yengster virus. nyahahaha. *shrug shoulder*

Well, Yeng has been my favorite since the first day of Pinoy Dream Academy. I like her personality, her passion for music, her style, her childish attitude, her own way of being kikay, the way she sing and her great acumen in song writing. For me, she's the young female version of Ogie Alcasid. Lufet!

Guess what? I also spent several Peso on text votes whenever she's nominated for eviction. Hahaha.

Eh ano naman! I want her to be the grand winner eh.

Sabihin na nilang medyo jologs ako, eh yun ako eh.

As long as I enjoyed her music "C A R E" ko. I would rather spend my money on Filipino music than those offered by International artists. Download na lang ako ng mga song nila than to boost their sale. Hehehe. Definitely, I will continue patronage on OPM.

Looking forward on PDA Season 2!

*wink*
