its been a while...

My last entry was last October pa...it was a about my birthday pa...hmmm...what's the latest chikka na ba about me and the world around me??

for starters...i have work na...marketing support for one of the biggest industrial company in the world. so far, so good ang work. im enjoying it. im learning new things. im having new experiences. at higit sa lahat mabait naman ang mga bagong officemates ko. ang warm ng welcome nila sa akin. so ok naman ako.

sa ngayon, im still waiting for the decision of NLRC. sana matapos na. i've moved on naman na kahit papaano. pero kasi may mga taong hindi pa din. mga taong insecure sa kanilang age, katanda na, astang bata! lech...

sa mga hindi nakakaalam ng tunay na ugali ko pwes ito lang yan. ako, kapag nagalit sa isang tao, i let go of the feelings, as in totally cut na ang emotions, quesehodang nakita kita sa daan or kung san man, wag mong expect na im gonna greet you at all. hindi ako plastik, what you see is what you get. but i know how to play the nasty game...game ka ba?

a simple way to celebrate

October 15. My Birthday.
No plans, no party, no nothing. Para sa akin, it was just another day that passed. And since it was my birthday at it fell on a Wednesday, I went to Baclaran with my mom (oh diba? pakabanal ng onti...onti lang naman ) Dun ipinagdasal ko ang lahat ng wish ko, una na sa listahan ay na sana matapos na ang case ko against my former employer, na sana ang result ay in favor of me; pangalawa, na sana lalong maging mas maganda pa ang relationship namin ni jowa ko (hehehe); pangatlo, na sana laging maging ok ang family ko; pang-apat na makahanap na ako ng bagong work, quesehodang sa call center pa yan, I need a fresh start!
After the novena and the mass, my mom and I went to our usual routine na after magsimba sa Baclaran mamamasyal ng onti at kakain sa Mall of Asia. At dahil special day ko, medyo malaki ang budget ng nanay ko. So ayun, we went to Aveneto to eat dinner ay hindi pla cia dinner, FIESTA, malaki kasi ang serving nila dun at tatlong klase ang order namin - pizza, spaghetti at a sample platter consisting of buffalo wings, crabsticks, french fries at potato balls - and dami talaga. So ayun, na bundat kami ng nanay ko.
On the way home. I texted my cousin and jokingly told her na mag-uwi naman ng ice cream para ma feel ko nmn na birthday ko pedeng sabayan na din nya ng cake para masaya! hahaha (alphakapalmuks) then suddenly, my other phone rang, it was a call from the BPO I applied for. At ayun, parang answered prayer cia, kasi ang press release nila I have to wait a week or two to get a final word from them. But a day has passed lang, so ayun na nga, a girl from this contact center called me up at sinabi na I was already shorlisted to several accounts (ang taray, ang haba ng hair ko, pinagkaguluhan ako...JOKE!) pero i have a priority account na daw to consider and they wished me to have my interview within this week - ANG SAYA! sana this is it!
SALAMAT SA MGA BLESSINGS KO
SALAMAT SA LAHAT NG BUMATI AT NAKAALALA :)

mga pananaw ni BOB ONG

PAG-IBIG

“Kung hindi mo mahal and isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya..”
“Lahat naman ng tao sumeseryoso pag tinamaan ng pagmamahal. Yun nga lang, hindi lahat matibay para sa temptasyon.”
“Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang taong malapit sayo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo.”
“Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba.”
“Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang.”
“Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na.”
“Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin.”
” Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo..Dapat lumandi ka din.”
“Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya , naunahan ka lang.”
“Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa.”
“Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka.. Kaya quits lang.”
“Bakit ba ayaw matulog ng mga bata sa tanghali? alam ba nilang pag natuto silang umibig e hindi na sila makakatulog kahit gusto nila?"
“Hindi lungkot o takot ang mahirap sa pag-iisa kundi ang pagtanggap na sa bilyon-bilyong tao sa mundo, wala man lang nakipaglaban upang makasama ka.”
“Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lang yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama
ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!”
PAG-AARAL
“Mag-aral maigi. Kung titigil ka sa pag-aaral, manghihinayang ka pagtanda mo dahil hindi mo naranasan ang kakaibang ligayang dulot ng mga araw na walang pasok o suspendido ang klase o absent ang teacher. (Haaay, sarap!).”
“Nalaman kong marami palang libreng lecture sa mundo, ikaw ang gagawa ng syllabus. Maraming teacher sa labas ng eskuwelahan, desisyon mo kung kanino ka magpapaturo. Lahat tayo enrolled ngayon sa isang university, maraming subject na mahirap, pero dahil libre, ikaw ang talo kung nag-drop ka. Isa-isa tayong ga-graduate, iba’t-ibang paraan. tanging diploma ay ang mga alaala ng kung ano mang tulong o pagmamahal ang iniwan natin sa mundong pinangarap nating baguhin minsan…”
“Hikayatin mo lahat ng kakilala mo na magkaroon ng kahit isa man lang paboritong libro sa buhay nila. Dahil wala nang mas kawawa pa sa mga taong literado pero hindi nagbabasa.”
“dalawang dekada ka lang mag-aaral. kung ‘di mo pagtityagaan, limang dekada ng kahirapan ang kapalit. sobrang lugi. kung alam lang ‘yan ng mga kabataan, sa pananaw ko ehh walang gugustuhing umiwas sa eskwela.”
BUHAY (IN GENERAL)
“nalaman kong hindi final exam ang passing rate ng buhay. hindi ito multiple choice, identification, true or false, enumeration or fill-in-the- blanks na sinasagutan kundi essay na
isinusulat araw-araw. Huhusgahan ito hindi base sa kung tama o mali ang sagot, kundi base sa kung may kabuluhan ang mga isinulat o wala. Allowed ang erasures.”
“Kumain ka na ng siopao na may palamang pusa o maglakad sa bubog nang nakayapak, pero wag na wag kang susubok mag-drugs. Kung hindi mo kayang umiwas, humingi ka ng tulong sa mga magulang mo dahil alam nila kung saan ang mga murang supplier at hindi ka nila iisahan.”
“Mangarap ka at abutin mo. Wag mong sisihin ang sira mong pamilya, palpak mong syota, pilay mong tuta, o mga lumilipad na ipis. Kung may pagkukulang sa’yo mga magulang mo, pwde kang manisi at maging rebelde. Tumigil ka sa pag-aaral, mag-asawa ka, mag-drugs ka, magpakulay ka ng buhok sa kili-kili. Sa banding huli, ikaw din ang biktima. Rebeldeng walang napatunayan at bait sa sarili.”
“Tuparin ang mga pangarap. Obligasyon mo yan sa sarili mo. Kung gusto mo mang kumain ng balde-baldeng lupa para malagay ka sa Guinness Book of World Records at maipagmalaki ng bansa natin, sige lang. Nosi balasi. wag mong pansinin ang sasabihin ng mga taong susubok humarang sa’yo. Kung hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon, hindi pa rin tayo dapat nakatira sa jupiter ngayon. Pero hindi pa rin naman talaga tayo nakatira sa jupiter dahil nga hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon. Kita mo yung moral lesson?”
“Nalaman kong habang lumalaki ka, maraming beses kang madadapa. Bumangon ka man ulit o hindi, magpapatuloy ang buhay, iikot ang mundo, at mauubos ang oras.”
HALO-HALO
“Wag magmadali sa pag-aasawa. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon sa hinaharap, mag-iiba pa ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong di pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang sa kaboses niya si Debbie Gibson o magaling mag-breakdance. Totoong mas importante ang kalooban ng tao higit anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan sa eskwelahan e
nagmumukha ring pandesal. Maniwala ka.”
“ayokong nasasanay sa mga bagay na pwede namang wala sa buhay ko.”
“hinahanap mo nga ba ako o ang kawalan ko?”
“hindi dahil sa hindi mo naiintindihan ang isang bagay ay kasinungalingan na ito. at hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohanan. “
“Sabi nila, sa kahit ano raw problema, isang tao lang ang makakatulong sa’yo - ang sarili mo. Tama sila. Isinuplong ako ng sarili ko. Kaya siguro namigay ng konsyensya ang Diyos, alam niyang hindi sa lahat ng oras e gumagana ang utak ng tao.”
“Obligasyon kong maglayag, karapatan kong pumunta sa kung saan ko gusto, responsibilidad ko ang buhay ko.”
“Masama akong tao, tulad mo, sa parehong paraan na mabuti kang tao, tulad ko.”
“Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala.”
“iba ang walang ginagawa sa gumagawa ng wala.”
“iba ang informal gramar sa mali!!!”
” Para san ba ang cellphone na may camera? Kung kailangan sa buhay un, dapat matagal
na kong patay.”

running away

on my way home, habang naglalakad ako and listening to an fm station thru my phone, nakakatawa lang, the song was by craig david, not sure kung tama ung title in mind ko na "running away" basta ang lyrics ganito "...im running away, from the troubles in my life, im running away to find a better day" SAKTO! ang galing. swak na swak lang sa buhay ko. as of now, gusto ko muna maglaho parang bula from everything. as in kung pede lang maging mala sleeping beauty na matutulog na muna ako at gigising na lang ako kapag ok na ang lahat or parang kabute na lulubog lilitaw kapag everything is smooth sailing na ulit.

HAY. ang buhay. alam kong hindi pede ang gusto ko mangyari, na tumakas panandalian sa lahat ng problemang pinagdadaanan ko. pero who can blame me ang damin kasi bwakanang-shet na nang-yayari sa buhay ko.

UNA. wala pa din ako work...had a fair share sa mga raket, pero hindi naman stable yun. what i want now is a more stable and grounded job pero dahil nga...pede ko na bang sabihin?...i think not...tska na, pag tapos na at may desisyon na mula sa kinauukulan, promise im gonna tell all! kating kati na mga daliri ko para i-type kung ano man yun.

PANGALAWA. nabuburyo na ako sa buhay ko. hindi ko alam kung saan ba talaga ako patutungo. ugat nito ang pagkawala ko sa trabaho. parang biglang huminto ang buhay, its not that my life revolves around my job, but hey, in order for me to continue life as it was, i need money. to get money, to need to have a job, right? nung nawalan kasi ako ng work, parang nagkaroon ng isang malaking harang yung daan na tinatahak ko. kung kelan siya mawawala, malamang kapag may desisyon na...

PANGATLO. ang hirap ng walang pera! hahahaha... may mga obligasyon ako ngayon na hindi ko magampanan kasi wala nga ako pera!

PANG-APAT. bigla akong namulat sa realidad ng buhay na dapat matutong mag save ng money...yes, its my fault, after four years of working wala po akong naipon...kung meron man, naubos na dahil ang tagal ko nang walang work. pero maski na! dapat talaga, at least 5-10% of your salary should be saved at wag gagalawin unless its really an emergency.

OH WELL. i know, i could complain about everything, pero kung wala akong gagawing action about it, walang mangyayari right? so eto na nga, im trying to manage a small online shop sana pumatok nang bonggang-bongga! para may income na ulit ako. and also, i should be thankful sa mga taong kahit anong mangyari andyan pa din para tulungan akong bumangon mula sa kaguluhan na ito - ang pamilya ko, my very closest friends, by boylets (hahaha boylets daw!) syempre, walang tatalo sa boyfriend kong napaka bait kahit weird, mahal ko. oh well ganun tlg eh. sa stage na to ng buhay ko napatunayan ko kung sino sa kanila ang totoo at sino ang plastik. may mga nakilala ako sa sa previous office ko, i though they were my friends, i even regarded them as family, respected as a mother, but hell, mabait lang pala sila sayo kapag may pakinabang ka sa kanila, kapag wala na, goodbye na sayo. ang dami talagang plastik sa mundo! grabe! kaya laging baha eh! hahahaha

And I’ve realized that there is really a balance between good and bad, so that man would learn how to live life fully. This balance is just one of the wonderful and miraculous ways of God in teaching his people.
Difficulties that I have encountered (and will still be encountering) made me (will make me) a much better and stronger person.

my strength

i'm trying to move on with my life, particularly with my career after its sudden death in the advertising industry, but as i move on, its really been difficult for me. certain circumstances are blocking my way to my new path as i slowly pick up the pieces of my life.

lucky for me, i have found my very own support group; indeed they are very helpful and very supportive with my case. they've been there for me since day one of my struggle and i am very grateful to them. the very first people in my list was of course my family - my mom and my sister - they've been my pillar of strength when i was facing the storm. my friends who always been there for me whenever i need someone to talk to and they're always there to treat me out for dinner, gimiks, to unwind. my very reliable and helpful lawyer-friend; meeting him at the right time and at the right situation during the darkest moment of my career. my special friend who even though he does not know exactly how to show his emotions to me, still he was and still there for me. mentors who never stop believing in my capacity to work in any job they are giving me.
as of now, i may not have a regular office job, im still working on the things that i love to do. small scale jobs that helped me get through with my day by day needs.
im blessed.

ka-ching!

raket..raket...raket = ka-ching! ka-ching! ka-ching!
pero in fairness...mahirap na masarap talaga maging freelancer. At least, hindi ako tali sa isang company. I can choose projects na gusto kong gawin at higit sa lahat non-taxable ang bayad! hahaha. KA-CHING! talaga! Pero naman...nakakaloka kung biglaan ang pag pasok sa isang project. Just what I've been doing right now with a consultancy firm na contractor ng isang telecom company. Nakaka loka lang! You need to remember a lot of names based on their database, and i have to be familiarized with them all! masakit sa ulo...pero I'm getting the hang of it kahit last Tuesday afternoon lang ako nag start working with the team. masaya. I'm learningnew things, lalu na in handling management. at least, bagong exploration...

August 7 Entry (Diary Based)

After admitting to myself that I've sinked into depression for quite sometime, and lucky enough I was able to fight it over, and now finally, I've won.

After regaining my lost strength, here comes another obstacle. The fact that I am moving on with my life, especially with my career, here comes another misery.

With everything that is going on in my life, I have learned a great lesson in life that eventhough something is pulling me back, I should not loose sight of what's coming ahead of me. In short I must forge on. Don't retreat, Don't surrender (just like the army's code) But Battle on...Speaking of which, got this line from Harry Potter book 6, as Dumbledore told Harry: "We must try not to sink beneath our anguish but battle on..." With these words in mind and heart I march forward with a stronger mind, a stronger heart and a stronger soul. Another thing I've learned was it is ok to cry. Crying is a form of emotional release not a sign of weakness.

June 11 Entry (diary based)

I wrote this last June 11, 2008. During the time I am so down. And thanks to my friends who supported me and helped me through this ordeal
-----
June 11, 2008
I've been acknowledging this lately. I think I am slowly sinking into depression. Ewan ko, I've been battling this for about a week now. Sa ngayon, super unexplainable ang feelings ko. A lot of my super closest friends told me not to go there, but I really can't help it. I think this is out of frustration. Saan? Maraming factors. Life in general -- Family, Work, Love, Friends, Career.
Reasons. Well basically at the moment, my life sucks! To the nth power yan. I feel so useless...
Family, kasi lately I am having a rough time with my mom and sister - sino bang hindi nagkakaroon ng problema sa pamilya? Kasi with them around me 24/7, feeling ko wala akong kwenta. They always and it never fails to make me feel worthless. Parang I am the "blacksheep" of the family. I am always the problem. In short laging ako ang may sala kapag nagkakaroon ng away especially between me and my sister.
Work. Just because I am protecting my rights as an employee by the case I've filed, naging persona non grata ako. I think nagkaroon ng stigma against what I did. I felt nobody is hiring me because of it.
Career. As of now, I am so lost! I'm not sure what path I want to go to. I know Advertising is a very cunning industry. I thought I was prepared and I am doing well, but I was wrong, Totally Wrong! Na truama ata ako for the last few months because of my ordeal with the industry, yung nangyari sa akin, nagdulot siya ng isang malaking dead-end sa buhay ko.
Love. Kasi I'm in a relationship na hindi ko gaanong nararamdaman. I am trying to turn to him as my pillar of strength but I felt he is bailing out on me. I always make excuses about sa ugali niya, na ganun talaga ang nature niya, na he doesn't seem to care but he really does; na he doesn't know how to show emotions. That's it
Friends. Kasi I feel yung iba umiiwas sa akin, especially yung mga dating kong kasama sa office. ewan. Tapos I just found out from a very good friend of mine since elementary that some people from the media advertising industry is talking nasty behind my back. They are making fun of me and making malicious accusation like manggagamit ako, na I am resigned na daw I am still attending trade shows, FYI to those people, I haven't resigned from my post not until JUNE 12, 2008. And before you say anything about me, try to know what happened first. Para at least may definite basis kayo ng pinagsasabi nyo. I though you were my friends because we came from the same alma mater and I've known you back then at we've been together in the same organization.
I think that's it! That's what brought me here, in this kind of state. Closest friends of mine are telling me that I'll pull through this, that they have their faith in me. But what about my family, my love, do they have same faith on me? I feel so alone. I can't help but cry. Kelan kaya matatapos lahat ng ito? I know I have and I need to do something. But how? Paano ako magsisimula muli? At saan ako magsisimula. Where will I pick up my life? Sana nga makaalis na ako sa ganitong kalagayan...dahil kung hindi...EWAN...
-----
that's it. People this blog is back then. Today is a different thing. I am just sharing this to the people I love and I am thanking those people who helped me face this stage. I love you all.

back at one

Its been a while...

Now I'm moving on with my life and as I do this it feels like I'm back at stage one. I am slowly picking up the pieces of my life after my untimely resignation from my previous post in an advertising agency. If people are wondering what's the reason behind my sudden resignation after working there for three years, bear with me, I am still in the process of "cleaning" it up; I'll going to tell it all after its done and I'll be happy to close that chapter in my life, as of now, it is still hanging somewhere.

Going back with my "moving on" stage. I know there's a cliche that before you move on with your life you should settle everything first, but with my case, it's the other way around. I need to move on first, it's now or never. So, that's what I've been doing lately. Just got a job from a contact center in Makati; it's a starting point for me. For others, its a fall back, nevertheless this job I got will be my bread and butter and will help me make both ends meet. At least, I will no longer be a jobless, moneyless gal. And also with this company, I'll be paid for every seconds, minutes and hours of job that I'll be rendering, and overtime and night differential pay as well.

As of now, I'm contented with what I have and what I'll be having in the next months. It's a starting point for me. A second serving of what is installed for me. And I'll be making the most out of this. I promise.

A Dating Guide for Women: "Man Talk" Translation By David Wygant

Foung this on Yahoo... http://dating.personals.yahoo.com/singles/datingtips/85599/a-dating-guide-for-women-man-talk-translation

When you first look at a man and a woman, you are able to notice the subtle differences between the sexes. It is when the two sexes communicate with each other, however, that the differences become truly glaring. This is because one is speaking "he talk" while the other is speaking "she talk."
Where this difference really becomes a problem is when you are in a relationship, and you need to know how to combine "he talk" and "she talk" into "we talk." So I feel like it's my job as a man and as a dating coach to help women learn how to understand "he talk" (or "man talk" as I like to call it), so that they won't need to hire a translator to understand what men are saying.
Women want men to express their feelings. They complain, "Why can't he just say he loves me?" or, "I wish he would just compliment me more."
What you need to pay attention to and realize, though, is that men do tell you they love you and compliment you... they just do it using their own language. Men, in fact, sometimes don't use words at all when they are communicating with you.
This will help you understand men's verbal and non-verbal language.
"Sometimes it's not what men say, but it's their actions that are significant."
Sometimes it's not what men say, but it's their actions that are significant. It is necessary for women to learn to interpret men's roundabout way of communicating with them.
Here are 10 things that men say and do, and what they really mean:
1. He starts talking about how crazy all his single friends lives are, and then he tells you that he doesn't miss it at all. What most women will think if they hear this, is that he misses those days. This is not true. He says this because he is looking for confirmation that you feel exactly the same way. He also wants to communicate that he's ready to take the relationship to the next level.
2. Since you recently took him to your family's house for dinner, he can't stop talking about how much fun he had with your brother. What he means here is that he really likes your family, and wouldn't mind being a part of your family.
3. He teases you about things like how clumsy you are or about how you put smiley faces in every one of your emails. What he's really telling you when he does this is that he really likes you a lot. Remember that men are just giant boys... we tease the ones we love and ignore the ones we don't.
4. A man tells you he needs his space. So what does this mean to you? It means that you need to ignore him and not call him. Men love the chase. By not calling him, he'll start calling you and wondering what happened.
5. A man says that he really wants you to meet his parents. What does this mean in man talk? He's telling you that you are his girlfriend, and that he is ready to take it to the next level by getting you involved with his family. This brings us right to the next bit of man talk.
6. When a man calls you and says, "I want you to meet my friends on Friday night," this is as big as meeting his parents. He's introducing you to his pack. It means that he thinks you are attractive and sexy, and he wants to show you off to his friends.
7. After sleeping over at his house several times, he tells you that the next time you sleep over you should bring some things to make you feel more comfortable and a change of clothing. In man talk, that is basically telling you that he's wondering what it would be like to live with you. He also wants your things around.
8. You have plans with him on a Sunday, and you find out that he passed up floor seats to his favorite basketball team to keep those plans with you. What does that tell you in man talk? It tells you that he's hooked... and that you are his girlfriend.
9. He is watching one of your favorite shows on a night you're not together, and he calls you afterwards to talk about it. In man talk, what does this mean? By doing this, he's telling you that he pays attention to you, and he's interested in learning more about you and sharing more things with you. Men generally do not choose to watch "Project Runway" on their own. If we're watching your TV shows, we really like you.
10. He tells you, "I've cleaned today." What this means in man talk is, "I spent the day doing something I dislike more than anything." You need to realize that when a man says this to you, he really likes you. To most men, cleaning the house is just about the worst way he can spend a day.
"Once you understand the hidden language and actions of man talk, you'll become far more secure in your dating and relationships."
Once you understand the hidden language and actions of man talk, you'll become far more secure in your dating and relationships. So the next time you go over to your man's house and he looks at you and says, "I cleaned today," you'll know that he really meant to say, "I must really like you, because I can ignore my mess most of the time."

Isang Pagbabalik Tanaw

Kay sarap bumalik sa isang parte ng buhay ko na bumuo at kumumpleto ng pagkatao ko bilang AKO. At hindi lang ako, kungdi nang mga taong bumilang sa pamilya na tinatawag naming ARTISTANG ARTLETS.

Hunyo 29, 2008. Isang pag babalik tanaw ang ginawa ng mga “alumni” ng samahang pang teatrong ito. Isang samahan na humubog ng aming sining at pagmamahal sa teatro. Sa taunang “auditons” ng AA, umepal kami.

Nakigulo. Nakisali..


Masaya ang pagbabalik ko; dahil doon ko napagtanto kung gaano ko “na-miss” ang AA at ang mga taong nakasama ko .


Sa loob ng apat na taong inilagi ko sa AA, ito ang naging pamilya ko sa loob at labas ng Unibersidad ng Santo Tomas. AA ang naging pangalawang pamilya ko. AA ang nag taguyod ng pagiging “krung-krung” ko, at ito ang samahan na tumanggap ng pagkatao ko ng buong-buo at walang pag aalinlangan.


Sa aking pagbabalik, inaasahan ko na muling makita ang mga taong napalapit ng husto sa puso ko, ngunit hindi ko inaasahan ang mga reaksyon na nakita ko at makukuha ko. Andun ang pananabik at kagustuhan malaman ang mga nangyari sa mga buhay buhay mula noong kami ay hindi nagkita. Ang sarap pakinggan at makita ang mga pagbabagong naganap sa aming mga buhay ngunit mas masarap madiskubre kung ano ung mga katangian na hindi nagbago sa amin. Nakakatawa mang isipin na mistula kaming mga baliw dahil kada may dumadating na “lumang” mukha, kami ay napapatili at naghihiyawan at nagyayakapan. Ipinararamdam at naramdaman naming todo na ang aming pananabik at pagmamahal sa isa’t isa.


Nakakatuwang marining mula sa isang nag-audition ang kaniyang obserbasyon kung anong pagsasama meron kami at kung gaano katindi ang “bond” namin sa isa’t isa. Salita niya, “nakaktuwa naman kayong tignan, isang buong pamilya kayo!”


Ganun talaga siguro ang kalalabasan kung mag sasama kayo ng apat na taon sa iisang organisasyon at gumagawa kayo ng isang bagay na pareho ninyong gusto.

One Step At A Time - Jordin Sparks

da da da um da da
da da da ba um da da
da da da um da da
da da da ba um da da

 
Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

 
HOOK
You wanna show the world but no one knows yours name yet
Wonderin' when, where and how you're going to make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you getting all kinda impatient
Waiting, we live and we learn

 
CHORUS
To take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly, or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen
And we find the reasons why
One step at a time

 
da da da um da da
da da da ba um da da
da da da um da da
da da da ba um da da

 
You believe, and you doubt
You're confused, and got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

 
HOOK
You wanna show the world but no one knows yours name yet
Wonderin' when, where and how you're going to make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you getting all kinda impatient
Waiting, we live and we learn

 
CHORUS
To take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly, or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen
And we find the reasons why
One step at a time

 
When you can't wait any longer (you can't wait)
But there's no end in time (when you need to find the strength)
It's your faith that makes you stronger (the only way we get there)
The only way we get there
Is one step at a time

 
To take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly, or falling in love (Falling in love)
It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen
And we find the reasons why
One step at a time

 
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly, or falling in love (Falling in love)
It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen
And we find the reasons why
One step at a time

Panimula (June 25, 2008)

Kahapon ay Lumipas
Kaligayahan ay Nagwakas
ngunit lahat ay panandalian lamang
Isang Bagong Bukas, Nababanaag!
Pahirap, Pasakit
Dulot ng Pagpupunyagi.
Masisilayan na Muli
Isang Bagong Panimula
Isang Pagtatapos
Isang Bagong Patutunguhan
Bagong Paglalakbay
Bagong Pakkipag-sapalaran
May nagsara,
May Umuwang...
Nawa'y Tuluyang Magbukas
Tungo sa Bagong Liwanag

first day punk

June 10 2008.

its a parade,
a fiasco...
like a roller coaster ride
you go up then zoom down,
loop the loop
going in circles.
turning left then right,
swinging backward then forward.
all of these boils into one
an unprecedented events of life.

contemplating

been thinking a lot lately - wala na kasi ako magawa din...for some, alam nyo na kung bakit, for most of the people its kinda complicated...im in a middle of employment dilemma, kung ano man ang pumasok sa isip nyo, maaring tama, maaring mali, but i'll bet my life mali 'yang iniisip mo...dahil sobrang kalowka ang case ko!


back to my thoughts. yun nga been thinking a lot about what's happening with my life, what do i really want, what do i really need. tipong soul searching ang drama ko. and lately i've been realizing a lot of things. na puro ako plano, kulang na kulang nmn ako sa gawa. i mean out of the blue i would plan of something great or something big but something holds me back to do what i ought to do,


ewan ko ba. something is pulling me back.

hiccup

Hiccup - word used by my friend to call this mayhem that is happening in my life as of the moment. Funny way to describe it, however giving it a deeper thought, it fits. Scientifically, hiccup is a state of the body wherein there is a minor setback with the normal air passage in one’s body. To relate it to a day-to-day life, it poses as a predicament a person is battling off.

As of now, I am just thinking that I went into sabbatical; a journey wherein I was given the chance to re-evaluate the events that took place in my life in the past. How it is affecting my present and how will it affect my future. Through this flight I have realized a lot of things that normally some people are taking for granted from their daily lives and it thought me a lot of things that I can say are essential in my life. Listed below are some random thoughts.

  • I can be friends to a lot of people but I can only trust a few – so I have be careful in choosing the people to trust life
  • In the lowest point in my life, I have come to knew who my real friends are and who are just pretending to be
  • Faith will keep me from going into places
  • Smiling a lot makes my life a little less miserable
  • Little things such as a simple SMS like “kamusta ka na?” rekindles the fire within me
  • Being feisty does not mean bigheaded
  • Being vocal for what I feel does not equal to being disrespectful or so much to say being above other people
  • Less words, less mistakes
  • Worrying just gives me something to do, but it does not get me anywhere
  • Being happy is finding the peace within myself
  • A forgiving heart provides a peace of mind
  • Crying does not make me coward
  • Fighting for what I believe is right is worth all my effort
Learning from any problem will make me a greater and stronger person. That was the best thing I’ve learned so far. And that what I am doing right now, I’m picking up all the possible wisdom I can have. Being strong-willed is not easy. Fighting can be tiring at most times, but that’s what keeps me human - human enough to acknowledge my mistakes and whirling it into positive points that I can partake to the people surrounding me.
