.::new sideline for me. starting next month i will be tutoring a schoolmate of amboy. it will just be an hour a day. will be teaching the same things i teach amboy everyday. i will just have to wake up earlier than usual but that's fine. its extra moolah for shopping!
.::the whole department is moving to a new floor in a few days...new environment, same job--still is exciting.
.::the start of second semester is so near. back to school for me. i honestly still don't know what to do. is it to go back to school full time. quit work. be a full time student (and a part-time tutor). work part-time. i am only sure of one thing, that i have to go back to nursing school next semester. im just not 100% convinced in resigning. bec of the good things happening in the office. sometimes i wish making decisions is not this difficult.
.::looking forward to going to the mall...panalangin ko lang na may makita na ako na tatlong muskitero. hmp!
.::if you read this you know i am addressing this to you. promise me you will never do it again. but i do appreciate your honesty. and you know that i will always, always be here for you. i know that sometimes we get to do things that we never really mean to doing and that we are just lead to doing it. i have been through times like that also and it is tough. but i guess it is knowing that it is not right and as long as you know what is best for you--that is what really counts. it is normal to be abnormal at times. did i make sense. kung sino ka man *apir*
.::2 days without work...payday on friday...need i say more?

The Joys of Riding The Jeepney
cast of characthers: me, bheng, jeepney driver, ate ne (di ko sya kilala. alam ko lang pangalan nya), a kinder or a grade 1 student (tawgin nating bata) and ang mga iba pang pasahero na deadma lang sa nangyari pero alam ko namang natatawa din.
sakay na ako and si bheng ng dyip. nauna ako pumasok tapos si bheng tapos andar konti ang dyip (ng sobrang bagal). nagbayad na ako at nag aantay ng sukli ng sumakay si ate ne.
ate ne: ma bayad ho
ng bigla na lang may sumisigaw sa background ng...ate ne! ate ne! ako ay lumingon sa labas at sabay nakita ang isang bata na tila hahabulin ang dyip na mabagal ang andar.
ate ne: ma para ho. naiwan ko si bata
huminto naman ang dyip
me: nak ng teteng...nakasakay ka na ung bata naiwan mo!
dala lang ni ate ne ay ang payong nya at ang stroller bag ni bata.
bata: ate bakit mo ako iniwan
ate ne:akala ko kasi nakasunod ka sa akin (hmp...bata ang kasama at nauna pa sya na sumakay sa dyip--natawa ako dun).
lumipat ako sa tapat ni bheng na katabi si bata
me: (nakita ko na naiiyak na ang bata) bheng, nakakatawa. akala ko sa pelikula lang nangyayari yun. imagine mo kung mabilis yung dyip. sigurado hahabol ang bata
(opo,sadista ako and i had the intentions of making the kid cry. BAD ME!)
bheng: (tatawa-tawa at pabulong na sinabi) psst..iiyak na ang bata.
me: lam ko (nakatawa pa at patuloy pa din tumawa. i only had 3 hours sleep and my imagination went wild. i was imagining na humahabol na ang bata sa amin)
after mga 5 mins baba na ang bata at si ate ne
me:uy, baka maiiwan ulit si bata.
patakbo na bumaba ang bata...siguro gusto na nya sakalin si ate ne sa nangyari.
yun lang...natatawa pa din ako. kaya nga masaya na sumakay ng dyip paminsan minsan e.

it was my day of rest from work yesterday. my mom (who didn't have work also bec it was quezon city day), tita cecille, bheng, amboy and i went to 168 mall. i came from shift meaning NO SLEEP. pero dahil shopping ito, i went with them. and the mall is a shoppers haven (MICA--para sa iyo ang mall na ito. tatalon ako sa ilog pasig pag umuwi ka ng isang plastic bag lang ang dala). everything was super mura and the mall is airconditioned. i haven't been to a mall na super bargain ang prices. you can practically buy everything and anything--all you need is money. i suggest also that if you are going, be there early bec kulang ang half day para ikutin ang buong mall and wear a comfortable footwear (flipflops would do).
we were home by 5PM. had a short nap and then edsel picked me up at 7 for our movie date. the last time we watched a movie was when we watched star wars at greenhills cinema. for a change we watched a movie at galleria (but i still prefer greenhills) bec of the free movie tickets i have and because we wanted to see a movie that has been shown a few weeks back and is not showing at greenhills anymore. the island, was a nice movie. i didn't like the ending though. i would have wanted the movie to end on a different way.
after the movie, we went to caltex starmart in greenhills as i was still in search for my 3 musketeers chocolate. as usual, no 3 musketeers available and edsel told me to just buy big bang. pareho lang din daw kasi yun. i believed him and bought three bars along with a cadbury chocolate to satisfy my craving. we shared one big bang bar on our way home and he told me it does not taste the way he remembers it (i think palusot lang yun kasi hindi pareho ang lasa ng big bang and 3 musketeers). so, im still in search for a 3 musketeers chocolate bar.
was finally able to sleep at 2AM. but i had fun. it's back to work for me for the next 5 days. pero ok lang kasi double pay daw bec of holidays. hehehe!

The Different Faces of Amboy
before you go any further and admire amboy's pictures, i swear (kumulot man ang buhok ko,amp!) i never asked him to wear the make-up and the accessories. i was preparing to go to work and he was all over my kikay kit asking for what the specific make-up was for. he asked if he could just put a little and i gave in to his request. so technically, im not to be blamed for how he looks on the pictures. i am not to be blamed either for the poses in the pictures bec he is a cam whore--in every sense of the word.
here are more pics of the boy who could also do the masculado dance and literally brought the house down during my parent's anniversary party.

last saturday was a busy day. from the office, i attended cora's beautiful wedding in makati and then had to rush back to st lukes to check on my mom and then be at the office by 8pm. sleep?!?! i didn't have sleep. i was so tired that i asked workforce if they could just send me home--lucky me, they gave me e-out. the wedding as i mentioned earlier was beautiful. as i saw cora walk down the aisle, i was teary eyed. i know what she has been through a LOT and i am truly happy for her. i know that a lot of her friends were happy for her also. vince (cora's son) was so funny. he was ring bearer and as he was walking he kept on saying "i can't do this". so cute!.
i don't know if she reads my blog but i know that she knows that i have one anyhoo, i just want to remind you sis that i will always be here for you, for bulilit and now for your hubby. i hope that even if you are married already, we still get to go out. watch a movie, eat out or have coffee. we have super daming funny times together. i will always be you "kaladkaring" friend. teehee! i know that even if we haven't gone out the past months we know that we will always be there for each other. basta, miss ko na kayo ni bulilit. we should go out soon with sheila and daisy *wink* (hehehe!). i hope that even if married ka na, you get to keep the crazy cora.
Aug 5, 2005
.::went to shangri-la thurs morning with bheng to buy gift for cora. it was tiring because i came from the office but super worth it bec it was fun. thanks for going with me, mamasan!
.::a very good friend of mine, cora is getting married in less than 4 hours! super happy and excited for her. wedding will be at union church in makati and reception will be at new world hotel (both the bride and the groom work at new world). i am going to her wedding later with MSO. can't wait to see her in her wedding gown (and can't wait to wear my dress,hehehe). BEST WISHES, CORA!
.::mom will be having her operation later. i asked her if she wants me there but she told me to just go to cora's wedding. it would be a simple procedure and will be over in 30 mins. but please pray for her...she was suppose to undergo the procedure last weekend but at the last minute she changed her mind.
.::been watching starting over and super bitin this afternoon because i will have to wait for two weeks to know if sommer will be asked to leave the starting over house. what i did....went to the website and now i know what will happen to her. ha!
.::amazing race family edition to premiere on sept 27 and survivor guatemala to premiere on sept 15. can't wait! can't wait!

highschool life
was reading a testimonial of a high school batchmate on our friendster account and it brought back so many memories of high school. im posting some of what she wrote and adding a few very memorable things/events/persons remembered most about SIENNA...
1. PERMIT TO LEAVE! - you have to carry this cardboard everytime you go out of the room. one permit to leave card per classroom only. minsan pwede ka mag trip at itago ang permit to leave...wawa nga lang ung mga super ihi na to go to the bathroom.
2. THE TIE - we are to wear a red tie with our uniform and the tie is suppose to be 5 inches long. but we would adjust it to 5 inches long if may mag check but it goes back to 2 inches long after the flag ceremony.
3. RED PLASTIC BELT - belts are worn on the waist but everyone (except for the new students) wears it sa hips. oppss...who could forget the tube PE uniform.
4. RED JOGGING PANTS and WHITE RUBBER SHOES - PE outfit. pag PE class mo...sa classroom lang magbibihis. i wonder how they fo it now kasi di na exclusive girls ang school.
5. Ang wlang katapusang projects sa T.H.E.- Every week ba naman meron! from the TISSUE HOLDER hanggang
s HAM plus the knitting stuff...to whatever pang pagkakagastusan.
6. HIGHSCHOOL DANCE - hmmm...i think this happens around feb sa sienna hall. B-O-R-I-N-G naman.
7.RESPONSIBLE TEAM - this started mga 3rd year highschool. a class has 6 RT's and every RT has a leader,secretary and treasurer. In 3rd year, i was the foundress of my own RT--RT 7! pasaway talaga!
8.FIRST FRIDAY MASS - everyone is happy because of classes are cut short. teehee!
9. INTRAMS - who would not remember the annual intrams. FUN! FUN! FUN!
10. TAMING OF THE SHREW - a play we watched at then pci bank auditorium in makati. Memorable bec of the LIVE KISSING SCENE. hahaha....
11. PISO ALAY KAY MARIA - one peso collection for the completion of sienna hall. in fairness malaki naman talaga ang naging improvement. from the bulwagang sienna with industrial fans only to an auditorium na airconditioned na. dito namulat ang mata namin sa pagigikil. pag wala ka pang meriends after dissmisal, piso alay sa akin ang drama.
12.Ang Gate s Sto. Domingo sabi me rebulto ilalagay dun pero
hanggang ngyon wala pa din - yes ate charo after 10 years wla pa rin
cia!!
13. STAIRWAY - off limits to students...parang staircase ng hotel. i just wonder why they don't let students use it. pag may special occassion lang.
14. si LOLA SUNGIT - ung nag babantay sa photocopy area. ang sungit to the max!
15. COLLEGE FAIR - jail booth, kiss mark, wedding booth at kung anu-ano pa. syempre pa ang boy watching at octopus ride.
16. SIDE A CONCERT - i was the one responsible for this concert. and one of the most memorable events from high school. i even had my shirt signed by joey G, joey B, kelly, Naldy and the drummer (limot ko name!).
17. `Sang Linggo N APO Sila - out ang school mo pag di kasama sa campus tour nila.
18. TAKESHI CASTLE sa convent area - i guess very memorable ito kay Grace. teehee!
19. TACO PARTY! - an event we had (highschool barkada) a few days before graduation. dito din nagsimula si MARY POPPINS.
20. MY FRIENDS - without them highschool won't be fun. I miss you guys!
and the list could go on...HIGH SCHOOL ROCKS!

3 malls in one day...yey!
went to church first at 8am and then started my malling at 10am.
mall # 1:
finally,had the chance to go to gateway mall yesterday. went with mom,dad,ate peach, borgy and amboy. i found a bag at rustans that i really like and that is one reason i am coming back. but thats about it. nothing really to rave about. had the chance to eat at taco bell and it was not even as expected. but will have to try the lazy boy seats sa cinema nila with MSO and taco bell again with him. hay...i enjoyed shopwise more than gateway.
mall # 2:
market,market with MSO. MSO wanted to buy shoes so we dedcided to hit the malls in search for the perfect shoes. the mall though was jampacked! we just went to the adidas store, saw a skirt i liked and i thought i didn't really like it but as we were on our way to mall # 3 naiisip ko na sana i bought the skirt na lang. oh well.
mall # 3:
this is where we bought *the shoes*. thanks pashy for the discount. ate at shakey's since MSO has been craving for his favorite pizza for more than a week already. funny that he was born the same year shakey's started. hehehehe...kaya pala favorite.
3 malls in one day is not usually tiring but since i came from work (yup,no sleep!), by the time MSO brought me home which was around 6pm pa since he had to go to work at 4am i was drop dead tired. it took sometime before the maid was able to wake me up from sleep for dinner. im sure if not for my cousins having dinner at our house, goodluck kung magising pa ako.

United We Stand...Divided We Fall
Politics in my beloved country for the past month has been a mess. Politics in the philippines has been a telenovela that does not have an ending. It stars politicians na parang si selina ng telenovela na "mula sa puso" na ayaw mamatay kahit na ano na ang nangyari sa kanya. politicians here in our country like stars in any telenovela can be a bida today and a contrabida on the next episode.
i grew up in a family where politics is a favorite conversational topic. young and old, everyone is so interested in it. i have relatives who are in politics. and i too have aspirations of becoming one. but with what is happening in the political scene in our country, parang ayaw ko na.
with everything that is happening, mapapaisip ka talaga if may future pa ba for us in our country... what more for the children. will gasoline prices be at three hundred per liter by the time TJ gets to drive, when the time janina is in college, ang happy meal ng mcdo will cost her one hundred fifty pesos just for the chesseburger meal (kulang yun kay nina!), when amboy wants a bottle of red horse beer it would cost him two hundred pesos wala pa videoke and di pa yun grande, and for migsy to go party at absinthe or temple he needs five thousand pesos just for him to get in, have a FEW drinks but have no date.
it may sound funny for now but it is not far from happening. it is just crazy...and it is no laughing matter. every pay day, lahat nagrereklamo about the tax being deducted from the pay--saan nga ba napupunta? with all the fighting and bickering in our political scene, what is in store for our country?

called up mcdo before 12mn and ordered the following:
2 chesseburger meal- upsize the drink and fries
1 burger mcdo meal
after an hour of waiting...delivery finally arrives. signed whatever needs to be signed and was uberly excited to eat the cheeseburger. but when we opened the bag what i see is 3 mc chicken sandwiches. huh! what happened to my chesseburger? but due to hunger, we ate the sandwiches and i called up mc do and told them that if i still owe them since i got 3 mc chicken sandwiches, to have someone get the money from my house. i don't want to end up with an upset stomach just because i ate something i didn't pay for. when the delivery boy comes back. he has with him 2 cheeseeburger sandwiches and a burger mcdo sandwich. sabay sabi na "inyo na din ito ma'am". AYOS! and he had a paper bag with 2 large fries and a regular sized fries.

i have never worked on a sunday...it is only now that i work for a call center that i have been deprived of my weekends. i miss going out on saturday nights...i miss watching the showbiz oriented shows on sundays because by the time i wake up i only have time to take a bath and eat dinner and then im out of the house since i have to be in the office before 8pm. and because i get home before 7am on a sunday, i don't get to go to church also which i know is bad (very bad). to compensate with my sad feeling of not being able to go out on sunday, i buy myself coffee. pero parang di pa din fair diba?
but i don't want to complain. i can't say that i like what i am doing right now. i sure am having fun because i like the friends i have at work. but i don't know if i can do this for a long time. i think that i am still blessed because i have a job. that every two weeks i have money in my atm account and i am thankful for all the blessings i have.
i miss watching movies and my dvds. i haven't bought a dvd for more than two months already which is good actually. it's a good thing that star world and axn have replays of their shows in the afternoon and because of that i am able to watch the shows that i miss. i am happy also that i get to watch eat bulaga, the bulagaan portion is very funny--i love it when gladys guevarra impersonates annabelle rama. it feels like you see tita grace on tv too (hehehehe!). jose is so funny when he impersonates bamboo...buang talaga!
it's past 3 in the morning, i have an hour and a half to go before i can go home. i have to go to work for the next 2 days and then finally it's my day off again. can't wait for wednesday. PLUS! im glad i have my sunday back next week...yes! i don't have to go to work next sunday! we have team building on monday and because of that, day off for next week will be sun and monday. *yehey*
i am ranting...i really have nothing to do. im bored...tried the neopets, but after sometime it bored me too. may bad news...amp! will post again later...

long post ahead... a trip down memory lane.
naalala ko pa nung....
-tuwing hapon, maglalaro kmi ng cops and robbers sa garage. it was not the usual cops and robbers. you have to make sure na if you are playing you wear an old shirt. kasi after the game, beyond recognition na ang t-shirt mo. ang mga players nun, si ate peach, si jepoy, si borloks, si mimi, si bibing, si tems, di ko na matandaan ang ibang pang players.
-after the 1992 earthquake, since one week walang pasok--one,two,three pass lang ang ginagawa namin. lahat na ata ng dayaan nagawa na namin at may mga kampihan pa para lang wag malagyan ng lipstick or ng powder sa mukha. in fairness, lumabas ang artistic side ng bawat isa sa lipstick na yan.
-around 5:30 in the afternoon, nasa labas na kmi ng gate and aantayin namin si tita peggy. she would usually be home before 6pm. pagbaba nya ng taxi palakpakan kmi lahat at magbibigay pugay sa kanya. syempre, matutuwa siya at lilibre nya kmi lahat ng ice cream ni mang roger (i wonder where mang roger is now?).
-at about 3pm, aantayin namin ni jepoy ang mga chicks na pwede nya pormahan. ang ending, di pumasa si jepoy sa mga chicks. yung isa, nasusundo nya sa sienna. yung isa, bagsak talaga sya at muntik pa mapaaway (sigawan ba naman ng lolokohin ka lang nyan).
-parati namin pag pustahan kung magsasalita ba si bong pag uwi nya from school...lagi mananalo ang pupusta na di sya magsasalita (infairness malaki na ang pinagbago nya. madaldal na si mayor ngayon!).
-a few years after, mimi went back to finish college (salamat naman). dito na nagsimula ang bonding namin at ni mama san at eventually ni sassaby.
-i remember during the times i get home from school at around 3 and mimi has not eaten lunch yet. bonding time namin ang mag lunch together.
-we would play street badminton or volleyball at around 5 in the afternoon. and then there was a time we would go jogging in the afternoon up to past 6pm. we would go around and it was always fun. naalala ko pa if we get to see nice townhouse units and sasabihin ni bheng na parang masarap tumira dun. sasabihan namin sya ni mimi na sige, "lipat ka na dyan".
-parati kami may sabado nights...malalakas kasi uminom ang mga napadpad sa compound ng time na yun. lahat ng siraulo nagkasabay-sabay mag college. theme song namin that time ang laklak!
-ang boxing bouts ni owelle at archie...
-dressing up owelle and archie as girls...nag mini fashion show pa yan.
-drinking vodka and gilbeys (pag ala pera) with beer as chaser. how did we even manage finishing college?!!?
-ang habulan sa kalye at basaan ng tubig. di kailangan maging fiesta ng san juan para gawin namin ito.
-uso ang dance numbers at kung anu-ano pang presentations noon. simpleng inuman lang may sayawan na agad
-beerhouse namin ang bahay nila mamasan. grande lang ang katapat at kung anu mang canned food or leftover food ang available sa house namin. beer+videoke c/o skycable ch 19 = fun!fun!fun!
-pag di masarap ang ulam sa bahay, pwede makikain as kapitbahay. pwede din makipagpalit ng ulam pag sawa ni si bheng sa binabad.
-going to malate after mamasan's shift at don henrico's. and making sure to be home before the maids wake up.
madaming pang fun memories ang apartment na ito. if walls could only speak. after college though, ako na lang , si mimi, bheng and sassa ang naiwan. then mimi went to the states to pursue her dreams of becoming a chef. and then sassa had to go to bacolod and eventually dumaguete. kmi na lang ni bheng ang naiwan. and what about my other cousins? some are married, others live elsewhere, a few went back to nueva ecija, and one even ended up being a board memeber.
ahay, the joys of living in a compound!

i wanted to make sure i get to do something in the two days break from work that i had...
it was amboy's 8th birthday last tuesday. ang laki ng tinaba ni ambs during the summer break. mso was even asking him kung ano daw ang ginawa nya nung summer kasi parang batak ang katawan nya (teehee!). siguro pinagbuhat ng sako-sako ng palay ang bata kaya lumaki.
happy 8th birthday,amboy!!

he had a mini celebration last saturday but bheng and i still made sure we had something to do on his birthday. so we went to greenhills (parang sa amin pabor ni bheng ang greenhills)! i actually had fun that day. na starstruck pa kmi kay richard reynoso sa brother's burger. hahaha...sassa, mas masaya kung andun ka!
i went to kester yesterday with bheng. i was thinking of enrolling again in this school. ang layo kasi ng new school ko and with my work schedule, nakakatamad mag travel (traffic pa naman sa espana). school environment felt different. i didn't feel like studying in that school anymore. i had thought of what to do with regards to my nursing school...but i will have to think and pray about it. will blog about this next time.
i will be back to work later...feeling better and i have recovered from the cough and colds that hit me last week. hopefully i get to go out with mso on weekend. can't wait to watch a movie....

My Father's Eyes
I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl,
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world.
But that's all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray:
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say,
She's got her father's eyes,
Her father's eyes;
Eyes that find the good in things,
When good is not around;
Eyes that find the source of help,
When help just can't be found;
Eyes full of compassion,
Seeing every pain;
Knowing what you’re going through
And feeling it the same.
Just like my father's eyes,
My father's eyes,
My father's eyes,
Just like my father's eyes.
And on that day when we will pay for all the deeds we have done,
Good and bad they'll all be had to see by everyone.
And when you're called to stand and tell just what you saw in me,
More than anything I know, I want your words to be,
She had her father's eyes,
Her father's eyes;
Eyes that found the good in things,
When good was not around;
Eyes that found the source of help,
When help would not be found;
Eyes full of compassion,
Seeing every pain;
Knowing what you're going through,
And feeling it the same.
Just like my father's eyes,
My father's eyes,
My father's eyes,
Just like my father's eyes.
My father's eyes,
My father's eyes,
Just like my father's eyes
Happy Father's Day POPSIE and to all my Uncle's, Cousin dad's and friends.

Aba, Ginang Gloria napupuno ka ng grasya.
Ang kayamanan ng tao ay sumaiyo na.
Bukod kang pinagpapala sa babaeng lahat

Santa-santitang Gloria, ina ni Lion King
Ipanalangin mo na kay Bush ang iyong mga kasalanan
Ngayon at baka mamaya ay magkaisa ang bayan at paalisin ka na.

Dahil Mahal na Mahal Kita
unconditional love - affection with no limits or conditions; complete love
to be able to love unconditionally is really hard. one may say that he loves unconditionally but unconsciously, he doesn't.
i am really confused here. sometimes we are told by people around us that we shouldn't give our all when we love and to always save some for ourselves. but if to love someone unconditionally is to love without limits, then why shouldn't we give our all?
i believe that when we love someone we accept that person for who he is. we accept his past, his present and his future. sometimes it is hard...it may sound surreal but for me that's how it really is. and finding someone who would love you in the same manner is a different story altogether.
i am blessed that i have people around me who loves me unconditionally. who understands and takes me for who i am. *hugs to all of you*
happiness - state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.
is it really hard to say that "i am happy" in every sense of the word? for me YES. i have personally gone through a lot late last year up to early this year. and up to now i can't say i am "HAPPY and CONTENTED". i know i have a lot of things to do in order to achieve that. i can say i am happy...but in a way i can also say that i have something lacking still in some aspects of my life ( im not talking about just lovelife here...but life in general).
in the course of achieving the desired happiness, it becomes even harder because we try so hard to achieve it and you end up frustrated when you have exhausted all efforts to be happy.
but true happiness comes when you least expect it. it comes when you don't really exert much effort. it comes and goes and comes back again.
to live a happy life is hard because life is full of bumps that makes living exciting and difficult. at the same time the bumps we encounter in life makes us stronger and wiser. and when we get pass them...it makes the feeling of happiness super worth it.
...and what the hell am i talking about?
...and what is the connection of my heading with everything i have just blabbed about?
hmm..i just finished watching a diether-claudine-rico movie at cinema one. it was a nice movie, i must say. and claudine talked about unconditional love and trying so hard to be happy in the movie. and it made me think too.
basta! im happy (but i could be happier) and i love.

last day of work today! *yey*
i can't wait for weekend...my work schedule for next week is really bad since i have seperate day off's--bad trip diba?
i have to finish a school paper,which i should actually be doing right now since we were sent to "training" but im so tamad to do it and i really don't know how to start with the report. and doing a school report at 5 in the morning is not really a fun thing to do.
i watched oprah two days ago and it was an episode of an interview with brooke shields, they discussed on how she had to struggle with postpartum depression. It is actually something very common to new mothers but here in the philippines, it is something that is ignored. some say it is something that will just pass, but actually it is something that shouldn't be ignored. it is actually very serious--nyikes sobrang nurse ang sound ko.
an office mate just told me that kris aquino and basketball james yap is already engaged--may upcomming movie ba si kris? (just asking!)
MICA...thank you! and happy weekend to everyone!

American Idol
i loved carrie's performance on American Idol, and i totally agree with simon's coment that she has done everything to win the title. i just hope she does. i was teary eyed as she was singing "Angels Brought Me Here". i really hope she wins..i love her voice...i love the way she sings...Can't wait to watch tomorrows finals.
SPOILER ALERT: The Contender
Sergio Mora is THE CONTENDER! It was a unanimous decision and im happy that he won the fight. Im happy too that alfonso won the bronze match against jesse. Too bad though that anthony bosante lost to ishe smith on their "fan favorite" match-up. i would have wanted an ishe vs ahmed re-match. It's just sad i can't watch the fight on TV tonight because of work. I will have to wait for tomorrow afternoon's replay. ulalal, i just love boxing!
Blabbing
i have to prepare for friday's final exam fo product training. I got the schedule i like and i'm happy for that. From 25 trainees during accent we are now down to 20. 1 had to stop training because of health issues, atleast she could go back after she has been medically cleared. 2 of my co-trainees were not asked to join product training anymore and the other 2 were cut at the middle of the product training when they had a re-take of the communications exam and failed it. Out of the 20 trainess, only 5 will go on A-bay next week and the other 15 will go on an extended classroom training. I hope that all 20 of us would make it and be able to hit the floor. The exams, even if we take them with our notes and computers open are really hard especially since we take them on the last hour of the shift and by that time you are tired, sleepy and close to being brain dead already.
Kuya Mayo is getting married tomorrow. i won't be able to attend since the wedding will be in island cove in cavite and for obvious reasons, i can't miss work. Congrat's kuya mayo!
and could i just say this...i love my hair! i had a haircut yesterday because i got so sick of my long hair. i use too much shampoo and conditioner...my hair takes so long to dry...i have had my hair long for more than two years already and i wanted to look different. now i have shoulder length layered hair-do (as if, i had a really make over) and i love it. it looked better yesterday but it looks nice also after i took a bath even if i didn't blow dry it, fan dry lang.
i miss my ibank officemates. hay...sometimes it is hard to move on even if you are equally happy with what you do now. i just got so used to my "old routine" that i miss it. i saw a client pa last sunday and she was asking on how i was, that she wants to move banks na because im not with ibank anymore but that she is happy for me. wha!! which reminds e, i have to call another client tomorrow because i was not able to say "goodbye" properly to her.

I survived my first week of graveyard shift...Hurray!
I never thought it was going to be very difficult..but it was. I am pretty much ok early on the shift but by 4am, 2 hours before shift is over i get REALLY sleepy and my eyes get really heavy (sasa: im so sleepy....my eyes are getting heavy...haha! i know you know what i mean here).
After my shift saturday morning, i went straight home took an hour nap and then took a quick bath and i went to school. I was out the whole day, went home around 7PM. We had family (tito's, tita's, cousins) dinner that evening with uberly delicious lechon from dumaguete and i was up until 12 midnight. By 12 midnight, i really could not take it anymore. i went to my room even if my cousins were still in the garden ( sorry guys, i was very sleepy and tired na talaga) and hit my bed. i was thinking, just a few minutes and then i will get up again to take a shower. lo and behold, when i woke up it was 6am already. this was the first time i slept in my jeans and a shirt i wore the whole day ( yuck, i know). when i woke up, i took a shower and then hit the bed again. i was in sleep mode up to 9:30. when i woke up, everyone was dressed already and they were ready to go to greenhills. wha! i would never miss a trip to greenhills. so i took a bath (again!) and then in 15 mins i was ready for a trip to tiangge land! im so proud of myself. i wanted to buy so many things...skirts, shirts, flip flops, bags accessories and kung anik2 but due to budget constraints, i had to content myself with just looking and i ended up not falling into temptation--i didn't buy anything! i know in a month i can go shopping na ulit. i will just have to wait...and when that time comes na--i'll hit the shops like crazy!
im happy...MSO and i will be working for the same company. he start's training tom. hopefully, we get to go to the office at the same time and get to go home at the same time also. coolness!
and to my surprise, ienjoyed loved star wars III. now, i can't wait to watch IV, V, and VI (i have to go to the video shop to get copies).

Bo Bice swept me off my feet with his performance in AI earlier. Im rooting for vonzell and Bo for the final two, but i still do like carrie. Tommorow's show will be really exciting. And this is one of the very rare times that i am happy i am not allowed to vote because all three of them are really good.
Since november, i haven't been eating rice and i swear i have lost weight. i know that my diet is not at all healthy but it worked for me. the thing is, now that i have started working on ungodly hours, i have decided to start eating rice again for lunch (since i don't get to eat breakfast). i really would want to maintain my weight now but i know i have to eat rice again since i am not getting enough sleep anymore. of course i get to sleep when i get home but it is still different when you get to sleep at night. i really hope not to gain all the lost weight back.
So far, i honestly am enjoying work. i am enjoying the company of my co-trainees and i have been learning a lot the past two days. i am really glad that i am not having a hard time keeping myself awake. i usually feel sleepy aroung 4am but all in all i think i am coping well. It is just hard since we have exams every day right before going home and for every exam you are allowed to only make one mistake. I hope though, i get pass training and abay. i hope to be hitting the floor by mid june. can't wait...can't wait.

long time no blog...
i have been very busy with both school and adjusting with my new work. for the past two weeks i have been waking up very early because my shift starts at 6am. eventhough i have to wake up early im really fine with it because i get to go home early also. we had our accent exams last friday, and since i didn't get a call over the weekend...it means i passed the accent training *yehey*!
my new work is very interesting and i cant wait for training to finish. so far i am having FUN with my co-trainees. i really hope i made the right decision of making this big move.
even with my crazy schedule, im happy that i still get to spend time with MSO. i am very thankful also that he supports me in everything that i do. he surely is making things a lot easier for me, because he advises me on what to expect and what to do. hay, feels so good to be with someone whom you know will be with you through good and bad times.
i had a very difficult time last april career wise but i know that things happen for a reason. i learned a lot from everything that i have been through. it wasn't easy but i thank God for the people whom he sent to be with me. i thank God also for how He has guided me in everything that i do. for how He has been my comfort and my strength. He has always been with me, and He has never failed me.
my dear cousins, lets get together...swimming party at mica's condo!

currently hooked to:
1. diner dash - a yahoo game i read on yax's blog last week. i installed it yesterday. played one full hour and it was super fun.
2. poker superstar deluxe - been watching this on TV. MSO told me that yahoo games has it. downloaded it and it is now a fave past time. how i wish the earnings in this game is for real. just the earnings.
3.six questions - MSO introduced it to me. he is addicted to it. it is very educational though because of the many things you learn. i hope we (me & MSO) gets to exchange points for an item really soon.

very bad that i took a very loonggg nap this afternoon, i can't sleep but i know i have too sleep already as i have to be at work by 6AM tomorrow.
yep! 6AM--i am now with a new industry. i have been very busy the last week in getting everything ready for this new job. after 4 years, i am leaving ibank. it is sad because i am not only leaving work but i am leaving friends and clients who have become so much a part of me. but this is life. and i have to make this move. i have to take chances and welcome changes. hopefully, this is a right move. i prayed that God give me this job if it was really for me and in 3 days, i got the job.
starting tomorrow i will be working for RMH Teleservices Asia Pacific,Inc. it is a call center and office is in ELJ communications center (abs-cbn compound). work will be something new and i have to admit that i am excited but at the same time scared. i am looking forward to being with new people, the environment would be very different, work hours will be very weird, and work even though it is customer service will be different in a way also. the next 5 weeks will be training and i'm looking forward to learning new things. it really felt weird last friday as i was filling up forms for submission because one of the forms i had to fill up was an account opening form of ibank for our payroll. nyikes! used to process those forms but now i can't anymore.
i pray that things work out to my advantage. 4 years with ibank is no joke, so i am taking this new job as a challenge. hopefully as i hit the floor, i will be ready for my work schedule ( which i expect is graveyard) and that it would not interfere with my schedule at school.
speaking of school, community duty starts this week and it is something i am looking forward too. can't wait to wear my uniform! hehehehe.....
nyikes, i really have to sleep now or else i will be sleepy the whole day.
yep! 6AM--i am now with a new industry. i have been very busy the last week in getting everything ready for this new job. after 4 years, i am leaving ibank. it is sad because i am not only leaving work but i am leaving friends and clients who have become so much a part of me. but this is life. and i have to make this move. i have to take chances and welcome changes. hopefully, this is a right move. i prayed that God give me this job if it was really for me and in 3 days, i got the job.
starting tomorrow i will be working for RMH Teleservices Asia Pacific,Inc. it is a call center and office is in ELJ communications center (abs-cbn compound). work will be something new and i have to admit that i am excited but at the same time scared. i am looking forward to being with new people, the environment would be very different, work hours will be very weird, and work even though it is customer service will be different in a way also. the next 5 weeks will be training and i'm looking forward to learning new things. it really felt weird last friday as i was filling up forms for submission because one of the forms i had to fill up was an account opening form of ibank for our payroll. nyikes! used to process those forms but now i can't anymore.
i pray that things work out to my advantage. 4 years with ibank is no joke, so i am taking this new job as a challenge. hopefully as i hit the floor, i will be ready for my work schedule ( which i expect is graveyard) and that it would not interfere with my schedule at school.
speaking of school, community duty starts this week and it is something i am looking forward too. can't wait to wear my uniform! hehehehe.....

reality TV shows
on american idol...
i don't know how AMERICA is voting, but for me 2 contestants (anwar and nadia) who have been voted out already deserve a spot in AI. how i wish i could vote...wishful thinking.
on survivors palau...
stephenie deserves to be ulitmate survivor, i hope she doesn't get voted out next week. she is the sole survivor of the ulong tribe. girl power! galing!
on amazing race 7...
final 3 for me would be rob and amber, merdith and gretchen and uchenna and joyce (who willingly shaved her hair for the fast forward). i read on the internet that amazing race 8 would ba a family edition. that should be exciting.
aside from the above mentioned reality tv shows, i love watching the contender ( i have been fond of boxing and wrestling even as a kid), starting over, the bachelor, america's next top model, temptation island, the apprentice, the simple life, queer eye, the casino and kung anu-ano pa. am i addicted to reality TV shows or huwat!
i better catch some zzzz i have to be at school by 8am....
happy weekend all!

He Says: I'll Always Stay In Love This Way
I never lost the love that I have given you
With all the things that we have all been through
I’ve never stayed in love before
As much as I have stayed in love with you
You, you never thought the feelings
Meant for you were true
‘coz everytime we’re all alone you wonder
If I’ll really never change
And if I’ll really stay in love with you
Love, it needs just you and me to stay together
Even if there’s nothing more
The best is there forever
Love, we have to stay this way in love forever
Even if you change your ways
I’ll always stay this way
‘coz I, I will always stay this way in love with you
I will always stay this way in love with you

There’s a wind that blows
It’s calling your name
And its speaks to me again and again
Telling me go to him
Don’t let him go
Hold him close to you
Then you will know
The meaning of love
Exactly what is all about
The feeling that I get when I can’t forget
Everything that makes me want to
That’s how deep it goes
All I really know is that I love you so
And if it’s the only thing I ever do
Then I know it’s true
That I should love someone like you
Someone who believes in me

As sure as I can be
For me if one dream can come true
Then I will love someone like you
In your eyes I see
A life that could mean so much more
With you next to me
And if time is cruel
Well I won’t try to hide
I could walk through fire
With you by my side
Cause after all if we want forever
There’s a hand to hold through the sad and cold
When nobody wants to know you
So never let it go
And you’ll never be alone

CAUTION: LONG POST AHEAD!
im back! the bacolod trip was of course to say goodbye to manang melo but it was also a time to see my dear relatives again. a short recap of my trip...
Day 1
-- At 3:30 am, My significant other (MSO) brought me and mommy to the airport.
-- We got to check-in 20 mins before the scheduled flight because of the mossimo beach bodies contestants that were blocking the entrance of the airport.
-- Arrived bacolod at 6AM, was picked up by toto (salamat for being the official taga sundo and taga hatid!) went to his house to see andy (very cute baby) and then mom and i went to victorias.
-- Woke up sassa as soon as i we got there. Said a short prayer for manang melo. had a medyo madramang moment with the rest of the family and then had breakfast. The rest of the morning was spent playing cards and tulud-tulud.
-- A few minutes before lunch, other relatives from manila arrived.
-- After lunch, with borgy and sassa we went to don bosco in search for a priest for the late afternoon mass in the house. no priest was available since it was a sunday and it was such a short notice.
-- We then went to Lopuez, the biggest mall in victorias city which was about 15 minutes drive (tama ba?) to buy paper plates, straws and coke light (tama pala ako when i told MSO the previous night over dinner that i should bring coke light kasi baka malayo ang bilihan).
-- After we got back to the house, i was so sleepy as i only had an hour of sleep so it was nap time for me.
-- Woke up at around 4PM, went outside the room to check on what everyone was doing and what we were eating for merienda. hehehe...
-- Played with alec and had a taste of Tita A's homemade banana chips which were really yummy.
-- As my other cousins went to mass at 6PM in the cathedral, i took the chance to freshen up and prepare for the very long evening ahead.
-- After dinner, friends started to arrive. helped entertain and serve food. it was also a chance to see manang cecil and manong toto whom i have not seen for a very long time. my mom was also able to see her classmate from highschool. it was funny listening to them exchange stories of their high school life.
-- Manang Cecil tried to teach me how to play majong but failed as i still don't know how to play.
-- Called it a day at 2AM.
Day 2
-- Woke up at 7:30AM! Got a message from MSO that made me upset but talking to him compensated for it. in short, bati din kami agad. hehehe!
-- By 9AM, we (me,sassa,tita sol,bgurl,manang cecille,manong toto and manang Ginjon) were on our way to bacolod to buy some stuff and to book my ticket back to manila.
-- We were back to victorias by 1PM. The whole afternoon was spent watching my tito's and tita's play majong while eating butong pakwan. ha!
-- Got tired watching them play and eating butong pakwan and so we decided to go to the golf course. I can't even remember the last time i went there but the place is not like before. The tennis court is now a talahiban and they don't have the bowling alley anymore. Atleast, they were able to maintain the golf course.
-- A trip to victorias/bacolod will never be complete without INASAL! even ifthey had prepared dinner in the house, we still bought inasal. inasal costs 40 per stick only. equivalent to a quarter size chicken. sobrang mura and super delish! i can eat inasal everyday!
-- Manang poly , the family's manicurista and pedicurista went to tita in's house so i had my pedicure for only Php30.00 with nail polish pa. who would not want to live in bacolod?
-- Soon after, friends started coming again. It was the last night of the wake kaya it was a very busy night. I met a lot of tito's and tita's ( friends of my mom or that of my uncles and aunties).
-- The entire evening was spent sharing stories and eating.
-- My day ended a few minutes before 3AM.
Day 3
-- Woke up at 5:45AM. Took a bath immediately and prepared for the burial. Mass was scheduled at 8:30AM.
-- Convoy left the house at exactly 8AM, we got to the cemetery after a few minutes. When we got there, the mood immediately changed.
-- After the burial, we stayed for another hour. And then we went back to tita sol's house for lunch.
-- Left victorias at 1PM for bacolod.
And now, I am back in manila. happy din kasi i was able to see and spend time with MSO. But as i go back to manila, i have to deal with a lot of things again. I promise to post pictures hopefully by tom.

thursday afternoon as i was on my way home from makati i got a text message from my mom that manang melo has passed away already. I had to read the message 6 times for i could not believe that after more that a year, she has finally given up her battle.
since she had that second attack last year, she has been on a persistent vegetative state just like Teri Schiavo. But unlike Teri, we have all fought the battle with manang melo. We have been all hopeful and prayerful that God will continue to make a miracle in her life. We all prayed that one day, she will rise up from her bed and be the same old manang melo.
i have seen what a fighter manang melo is. i know how determined she was to have the open heart surgery. our endless trips to heart center's charity department. her joy when a rotary club sponsored her operation. i was with her when a few days before her scheduled operation, we almost lost her. i was there when she was brought to the operating room. i was outside the ICU of the heart center everyday after the operation. i was there when she was finally sent home by the doctors. i saw how determined she is to live for manong zaldy and for her childern. how disciplined she was with regards to her eating habits and exercise.
i know she has fought until the end. i know that she has even tried to bargain with God to let her stay a little more longer only to prepare us, her loved ones.
i know God has prepared a better place for you in heaven manang melo. a place where you will no longer need a NGT, an oxygen, an IV or even a nurse. A place where you can freely move. It is indeed time for you to rest, a time for you to go.
i promise to look over bgurl and borgy just like how you looked over me. i promise to treat them just how you have treated me--just like your own daughter. Thank you for all the wonderful summer vacations in victorias. thank you for always taking time off every time i take a vacation just to bring me around. thank you for always listening to me and for being the cool and wonderful tita that you are. thank you for fighting and for being strong. Rest now and enjoy the party God has prepared for you in heaven, manang melo. we love you and we will surely miss you. Give our love to wowo and wawa. And as what everyone says, no goodbyes just see you soon.

im B-A-C-K!
it's school break but enrollment again next week. im still not sure on where to enroll for next semester. im just super glad the semester is over and i can't wait to get the class cards on wednesday.
im glad i was able to spend time with family and MB, i was able to fix my school stuff and i was able to SLEEP!
the 4 days break from work is so short (abusada talaga ako!) and i hate it that i have to go back to work tomorrow.

i had a very relaxing weekend that i really need after the super hectic week at school and at work. i guess i need this also because i have to study for my final exams this week. i actually have to study for two out of my 4 subjects this semester. but with anatomy on the list of things to study, PATAY talaga ako.
friday:
work (as usual) and then school for attendance lang. i then went to marina with my schoolmate rogie to have dinner and for a few drinks. we are scheduled to go out again on tuesday with out teacher after our final exam.
after dinner we went to terriyaki boy to buy california maki and then she dropped me off at MB's house. i had to do some school related stuf.
was home by 1am and i wasn't able to review for an exam anymore because i left my books at rogie's car.
saturday:
i was at school at exactly 10am because i knew we were having an exam before the return demonstration for physical assesment. after the exam only one of my groupmates were able to perform the assesment and then it was lunch break.
we had lunch at max and i will surely miss saturday lunch with my classmates. it is something we all look forward too, and yesterday was my last lunch with them since the semester is over. and i have plans of transferring schools by summer semester.
we were back at school by 1:30 and it was my turn to do the return demo for physical assesment. i really requested that i be second since i had to go home early because we were going to clark to meet my dad's golfing buddies.
by 5:30pm we were on our way to mimosa already. it took us only an hour to get there and went straight to the villa's where we were to stay. the villa's were nice, but the villa's they have in subic are bigger.
8:30 was dinner at four season's restaurant, it was fun and food was really great. i had a few drinks after and before midnight we went back to villa. i was in bed before 2am thus, even if i brought my anatomy book with me, i still was not able to read. B-A-D!
sunday:
breakfast was at mc donald's and then we went to puregold to do some shopping. i was able to buy ready made oreo and nabisco crust which were on sale (very cheap!).
we then went back to the vila to rest, watch TV and to simply BUM around.
at 12 noon, it was time to eat lunch. lunch was alimango and shrimps plus chicharon. i had to skip my usually diet of no rice! it was one of the best lunches i have had.
my dad and his golfing buddies finished playing before 4pm and by 4:30 we were on our way back to manila. i took some nice pictures (promise nice talaga) and i will post it hopefully by tom. i used the manual mode of my camera and the pictures turned out to be really nice. i have yet to show them to the picture guru but i know he will like it too.
it was great to be able to have a break from all the huslte and bustle of the metropolis. i have to read my anatomy book tonight...i have...i have! hope your weekend was as peaceful and relaxing as mine.

breakfast was at mc donald's and then we went to puregold to do some shopping. i was able to buy ready made oreo and nabisco crust which were on sale (very cheap!).
we then went back to the vila to rest, watch TV and to simply BUM around.
at 12 noon, it was time to eat lunch. lunch was alimango and shrimps plus chicharon. i had to skip my usually diet of no rice! it was one of the best lunches i have had.
my dad and his golfing buddies finished playing before 4pm and by 4:30 we were on our way back to manila. i took some nice pictures (promise nice talaga) and i will post it hopefully by tom. i used the manual mode of my camera and the pictures turned out to be really nice. i have yet to show them to the picture guru but i know he will like it too.
it was great to be able to have a break from all the huslte and bustle of the metropolis. i have to read my anatomy book tonight...i have...i have! hope your weekend was as peaceful and relaxing as mine.

very disappointing when you suddenly feel you are not needed anymore. when all the things you have done are taken for granted. when you are not appreciated for the things you do and the mistakes you commit are what they always remember.
is it time for a change? is it time to finally move on...maybe im just here because i am so used to it already that i don't want change. maybe the happiness i used to feel is not there anymore.the feeling of fulfillment is missing. that i am just here for the sake of doing something. that maybe this is not where i am suppose to be. that something out there is waiting for me.

again...i lost my cellphone. i left it sa cab this afternoon. lucky me, our security sa office was able to get the plate number of the cab and i was able to get the name, address and telephone operator this afternoon. im praying i could still get my phone back.
true what they say that when something is taken from you, God gives you something better. in exchange for my lost phone, my group and i got an exemption in my health care class *YEHEY!* atleast i don't have to worry about studying for the final exam. im hoping to get an exemption in my nutrition class as well. if i get that exemption all i have to worry about is my anatomy class and my RLE class.
the semester is ending in a week. it was a good one...but a tough one in terms of things to do and things to study.

a pleasant day
a recap of my day...
*woke up at 8am and called sassy ( took advantage of PLDT's 10 peso per call charge) and kwentuhan muna tungkol sa mga buhay-buhay. it was nice talking to you my sassy girl!
*went to linao with emma, judy, paul and edsel to do interview of 5 families for my health care class. it was a fun and a very humbling experience.
*had lunch with them at han pao.
*edsel and i went back to my house to rest and wait for popsie's arrival (welcome home!). my pop's phone is so cool. now i want a new phone...but i can't. i cannot afford a new one right now.
*edsel and i went to the barangay hall to take pictures of the place and lucky us, the barangay captain was there and was able to assist me with the other things i need for our report.
*we then went to look for someone who could transfer the video we took to a cd but the one we saw was too expensive. edsel would be the one to transfer it na lang using the data cable we got from Pastor James and he (with my help,hehehehe!) will edit the video (ang bait!)
*we went to market-market to meet up with my family for dinner. we had the film processed and the pictures for me were nice na, but for edsel the quality of the printing was not nice (super perfectionist when it comes to pictures!).
*went to gonuts to buy donuts...
now i am home blogging/blabbing...it was a very tiring day and i have to go to school tomorrow (but i am tinatamad as of now). i still have a lot of things to do especially with the project that is due on monday. hopefully, we (edsel and i) get to finish with the editing by sunday.

happy days are here again
first of all...HAPPY birthday to my sister! i hope you have a great day--we had pansit for you today, even if you are not physically present..hehehehe!
i don't have school for the next 3 days because of kester grant's first ever sports fest. plus, it is a holiday on friday. pure bliss ahead!
i can't wait for february to end and for march to start--hopefully things will be less stressful. a lot more decisions are to be made but im just looking forward to greater and brighter things ahead.
but i have to admit, that inspite of all the trials GOD has truly been faithful and present in my life. He has helped me restore relationships, He has guided me in everything i do, He has given me wisdom and encouragement and He has given me people to help me through.
i promise to be posting more "happy" things the coming days,weeks and months...
truly, life is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!

Character
Motivation gets you started
Discipline keeps you going
Character helps you finish well
as i go back to work tomorrow and face the realities of life, i was reminded today that my reputation is not at all important. this is only how other people see me. what is more imporatant is my character because this is what God sees in me. And that character is revealed in the midst of trials and crisis.
Blessed week to us all and till my next post....

TO ALL THE SINGLE LADIES:Seven Tests To Do Before Marrying Your BF's
i got this from church this morning, it was part of the Pastor's message and i just want to share it with everyone...
1. Watch him drive in heavy traffic
-this activity should test his temper...atleast you would get to know how he is when he is mad...
2. Play s sport with him.
-you will get to know on how he will treat you in good times (winning moments) and bad times (pag natalo ang ginebra).
3. Listen to him talk to his mother (or brother or sister) when he doesn't know you are listening.
-this would probably be the way he would be talking to you when you get married. wala nang pa cute at pa sweet.
4. See how he treats those who serve him.
-how he treats the maid, driver, waiters, etc. tandaan, ikaw ang future na magsisilbi sa kanya!
5. Notice on what he is willing to spend his money on.
-very important because you will know on what his priorities would be.
6. Look at his friends.
-tell me who your friends are and i will tell you who you are...
7. See how he reacts to criticism.
-after you guys get married, you will be his biggest critic kaya yngat lang.
i don't know if i made sense with what i just posted...but i just find it very helpful in picking you lifetime partner. Goodluck na lang sa atin!

26th
to all who greeted me on my 26th birthday--thank you.
my birthday this year is very diffrent from the birthday's i have had in the past. this year after 8 years of always having a party, i decided not to have one. for the first time since i started working, i went to the office on my birthday and i went to school pa. i slept early too...
friends were asking me when the party will be but, i didn't and don't really feel like having one. i feel like their is no need for a celebration...and just like any other day the 20th of january will just pass. and it did just pass.

home again
Ivy left, December of 2003 to realize a dream, to become a nurse in the states. it was sad because a good friend will be miles away but in my heart i knew that we would always be friends and she was just an email away.
and in just two years, she is HOME again--for a vacation. she was suppose to arrive at 10:30pm friday so we (the barkada) were tasked to meet her at the airport because her coming home was a surprise for her family. but due to medical emergencies, the plane had to make an emergency landing at canada. in short, the 24 hour trip home took 32 hours.
plane landed before 7am saturday. we were at the airport as early as 5am! but the wait was worth it. it was so nice to see her and be with my friends. we made a short stop at starbucks emerald before going to her house.
we were all excited as we neared her house, i was tasked to take pictures BUT i was not able to do so. we all started crying as she hugged her dad and her sister. too bad, only one sister was home at that time. after a few minutes, we went home na bec i had school and of course para mag bonding muna sila ng family nya.
i will be seeing you in the coming days. welcome home, ivy!

Press On!
it's monday once again. i should not be blogging but instead preparing for work, but monday blues=katamaran!
i had a nice, ok super nice dream last night but unlike sassy i won't be sharing it here para magkatotoo!
the week ahead is busy, as usual. i have tons of things to do for school meaning watching ocean's twelve is out of the picture right now. sana lang i won't be tamad the whole week to finish whatever i have to do and to read whatever i have to read. it's unfair that teachers give us so much things to do, di ba nila naisip na working students kami. meaning we don't have as much free time as the full time students have.
weekend was so-so. went to tutuban (yeyey!) yesterday with mommy and bheng. bought a shirt lang and tela for a top i will be wearing for kiboy's wedding.
the highlight of the weekend was having the chance to talk to mimi for i guess an hour. sobrang daldal namin! she shared stories of her life in the states and im just really happy for her because she is starting to make all her dreams come true. i miss her but i guess she is in a better place right now where a lot of oppurtunities are open for her unlike here.
it's 7:30 in my watch and i really have to prepare for work na or else my mom will kill me (exagge!) kasi ma late nanaman kmi. im praying that the week ahead will be a good one for me and for you reading this.
Philippians 3:13-14: Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
I whine too much and I know i should just be greatful for every blessing i receive. BIG or small. This verse has become my verse for the year. With this verse, i am assured that THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

God's grace is sufficient
not so happy together
watched a movie with my cousins yesterday and it was so not worth it! sayang ang one hundred pesos that we paid. ni lamangan kmi ni joel lamangan (sabi nga ni pashy). buti na lang we had yummy popcorn with us...
after the movie, with the north park take out food we bought. we all went back to the hotel suite where the pagtakhan's are staying for the night. kaya kahit hindi happy ang movie, kmi naman ay happy. too bad i didn't have my camera with me. hopefully mag upload si pashy so i could post our pictures also.
so,the first day of the new year was not as bad as i expected (thank God!).

2005!
we celebrated new year's eve this year at the pool side of mica's condo with the tuano's of course. before the strike of midnight, we (i with my other cousins) checked out the party scene at ayala ave. it was not as exciting as the millenium party 4 years ago so we didn't really stay long. plus the fact that we had to go back sa condo to welcome 2005 with the rest of the family.
so here was what we did at ayala ave....
and then back at the condo....it was videoke time!
it was a fun night...i may not be "happy" that night, but you guys surely made it FUN!

friends, the quake, no work and the new year
i have not seen my highschool friends for so long already. the last time we got the chance to go out was before ivy left for the states to work as a nurse and that was mga 2002. so i felt really happy having the chance to talk to jenny the other night. and since ivy is coming home for a vacation, we will get to see each other soon (yipee!). i was telling jenny how different things are now since before we would usually talk about "kababawan" over the phone, but now we were talking about our plans in life. nyikes....we are getting old.
i don't want to know the updated death toll anymore of the tsunami that hit southeast asia. it is so depressing and im just really thankful that it didn't hit the philippines. pero funny what my cousin told me. nakakulong na daw si tsunami, kasi madami pinatay. kung pwede nga lang sya ikulong diba?
im sad because in 2 days, the long weekend is over and it's back to reality--back to school and work. i still have a lot of chapters to read in anatomy plus i have to prepare our group presentation for my rle class and i have to study for a test for my health care class. PLUS, midterms will be this January. tapos i have work pa. promise, i don't want to even think about this!
in less than 7 hours, goodbye 2004 na and welcome 2005. 2004 was not a good year for me...i think. it was a hard year emotionally (roller coaster ride of my life). 2004 was also a year a lot of decisions were made. 2004 was the year manang melo had her stroke, maid of mama grace committed a suicide,the philippines presidential election and tita tess died but this year also brought me to boracay,duamguete and bacolod. yun lang ata ang good. hehehe...but this year i became closer to God with everything i had to go through (good din ito!). it's sad to think lang, that i had to go through all this to be closer to Him. i am glad 2004 is coming to an end. and i am praying that 2005 will be a better year. not just for me but for everyone.
and as i close my last blog for the year...
Let us welcome 2005 with joy and hope in our hearts amidst the tragedies happening everywhere.
Let us not forget to thank God for all the blessings He has bestowed upon us.
Let us continue to pray that love will reign in everyone,
Peace and comfort to those who are grieving.
And that our hearts be filled with hope and that the His light shine through the dark.
Blessed new year to all!
