movie reviews
afterwards, i proceeded to watch Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. after three weeks of showing in local theaters, i have second thoughts of watching this movie due to feedbacks i am getting from those who had already watched it. but since my mom knows that i was waiting for the movie a long time, she persuaded me to go ahead and watch it. after watching it, i find Chicken Little more okay than HP. maybe because i wasn't expecting anything from Chicken Little and had high hopes on HP. I miss the melodramatic scenes in HP which was in the book. The movie was very much fast-paced, and still consumes around 3hrs of viewing. anyway, i'll be waiting for two movies next year, x-men and superman :)

Ralph Fernan: The big Pinoy behind 'Chicken Little'
By DENNIS LADAW
Walt Disney’s newest animated feature "Chicken Little" is making waves at the American box office, as grosses hit nearly $120 million since it first opened three weeks ago.
A very loose adaptation of the venerable children’s story, Chicken Little is bound to be as popular as the other Disney characters. This quirky new character is the archetype 98-ounce weakling, yet children will soon be posing for pictures with his six-foot-tall mascot in Disney’s theme parks around the world.
Nobody could be prouder of this little hero than Philippine-born Ralph Fernan, who was responsible for animating both the title character and his father, Buck Cluck. It was up to Fernan to give life to these two lead chickens. He clearly had the most challenging task of giving the film its heart.
"As you have probably noticed, there are many scenes between Chicken Little and his father," the 40-something Fernan told Life & Times via phone patch. "So as animator, I had to build a rapport between father and son and make it look realistic."
Many of the scenes between the older chicken and his tiny son are tender and actually human, and they comprise the best moments of this otherwise rapidly paced CGI movie. Yet Fernan refused to take the entire credit. He attributes the success of the film to a lot of contributors, from the gifted voice talents, the art directors and the overall director Mark Dindal.
With all the talented animators and art directors working on the film, it seems that director Dindal would have little else to do, but Fernan said that on the contrary, he was the central guiding force of the whole production.
"True, we all had our duties but it was Mark who set the tone and direction of the film. He’d advise us in certain scenes and describe their purpose. How the characters should react to certain situations, how the action ought to be depicted and he more or less choreographed entire scenes," he explained.
It was Dindal who also coached the voice talents, which included major stars like Steve Zahn, Patrick Stewart, Don Knotts and Joan Cusack.
From UE’s pride to Disney’s gem
Fernan was born in Manila and is a Fine Arts graduate of the University of the East. Although he majored in painting, he found himself working on animation. "My first stint with animation was when I was hired by the local studio of Hanna-Barbera," he said.
"That was in the eighties, not long after I finished college. You can say that it was at Hanna-Barbera where I got my formal training, where I learned the ropes."
Most children are familiar with many of Hanna-Barbera’s beloved characters -- from Scooby-Doo and Yogi Bear to The Flintstones and Josie and the Pussycats.
Fernan was assistant editor of the Hanna-Barbera’s feature-length cartoon Once Upon A Forest (1993), which featured the voice talents of Michael Crawford and Ben Vereen.
Sadly, however, the company was compelled to shut down its Manila studio due to financial difficulties.
As with most of the talented Filipino animators, Fernan decided to seek his fortunes in other countries. There were fewer opportunities for animators in the Philippines, he explained. While others found employment in Australia, Fernan and a few others tried their luck in the United States. Fernan has so far been the most fortunate Filipino animator. He found work at Burbank Studios and was animator for the features of Turner Pictures and Warner Brothers. Among his credits are the highly acclaimed Iron Giant (1999) and Stuart Little 2 (2003).
Not long after, he was hired by Walt Disney and was immediately assigned to Chicken Little. "We started to work on Chicken Little two years ago. It all began with storyboarding and scripts which were continuously revised," Fernan recalled.
Fernan noted there are several Filipinos working in Disney, both in the production and administration’s departments. "We’re all so proud to be part of this great company. I’ve met Roy Disney, the son of Walt Disney. He looks a lot like his father!" he said.
For Disney, Chicken Little was a major gamble that paid off. It was the first CGI film, the studio produced on its own. (Pixar produced most of its CGI productions.) The studio first adapted Chicken Little for the screen in 1943 using traditional animation.
"Of course, traditional animation will always have its advantages, but with CGI, the work is faster and easier. I would like to work on conventional animation again," he said.
Fernan resides with his wife and son in Altadena, California. While he’s enjoying his work in Disney, he said he hopes the animation industry in the Philippines would eventually get off the ground. "Then perhaps the talent wouldn’t have to migrate to other countries," he said.

Makita Kang Muli
Makita Kang Muli
Bawat sandali ng aking buhay
Pagmamahal mo ang aking taglay
San man mapadpad ng hangin
Hindi magbabago aking pagtingin
Pangako natin sa Maykapal
Na tayo lamang sa habang buhay
Maghintay
Ipaglalaban ko ang ating pag-ibig
Maghintay ka lamang, Ako’y darating
Pagka’t sa isang taong mahal mo ng buong puso
Lahat ay gagawin makita kang muli,
Makita kang muli
Puso’y nagdurusa nangungulila
Iniisip ka ‘pag nag-iisa
Inaalala mga sandali
Nang tayo ay magkapiling
Ikaw ang gabay sa aking tuwina
Ang aking ilaw sa gabing mapanglaw
Tanging ikaw
Ipaglalaban ko ang ating pag-ibig
Maghintay ka lamang, ako’y darating
Pagka’t sa isang taong mahal mo ng buong puso
Lahat ay gagawin
Makita kang muli, makita kang muli
Makita kang muli

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2005,WHEN
1. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
2. You have a list of 10 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
3. You e-mail the person who lives in the house next door.
4. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and
family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
5. You've sat at the same desk for four years and
worked for three Different companies.
6. You learn about your redundancy on the 10 o'clock news.
7. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.
8. You pull up in your own driveway and use
your mobile phone to see if anyone is home
to help you carry in the groceries.
10. Leaving the house without your mobile phone,
which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years
of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn
around to go and get it.
11. You get up in the morning and go on line
before getting your coffee.
12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are
going to forward this message.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that
there wasn't a #9 on this list.
AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself. Go on, forward this to your friends....you know you want to!

20 days to go
Tuesday, November 29, 2005
habulan
anyways, sobrang maraming nangyari sa akin for the past days. i have told my boss that i can no longer accept another extension contract since i'll be moving on to a new company which has offered me a regular position, not to mention a higher rate. dun na nagsimula ang problema. i have 2 more months before my contract nung malaman nya e tuliro na sya. so imagine kung ano na lang ang kinikilos nya ngayong 1 month na lang ang natitira. he's very much grumpy nowadays. di na nya ako kinakausap, which is, for me okay dahil bawas nangungulit at mas marami akong nagagawa. at di ko na nadidinig ang nakakairitang line nya na "mataas kasi ang presyo mo" or "masyadong kang mahal" at "di ka namin kaya".
since i started working, i never begged for any company to hire me or keep me in their workforce. pero bakit may mga times ngayon na parang utang na loob ko pa sa kanila na hinire nila ako? parang gusto nilang palabasin na wala akong utang na loob at aalis na ako ngayon. i mean, my contract will end on january 3rd, at wala akong viniolate sa contract na yun. tatapusin ko yun kahit di ko na feel. and im doing all the docs in preparation sa susunod na hahawak ng project.
the ceo of my agency, which happens to be his elder sister is also very much affected. at yung pagkaapekto nya sa situation e sana wag makaapekto sa relationship namin, as frends. i mean, yes, we're not that close, but during the course of our employer-employee relationship, we had bonded a frendship. anyway, kung maaapektuhan, e wala akong magagawa, blood is thicker than water, ika nga. but still, alam nya kung ano ang kalakaran sa agency, and therefore should not blame me.
she has asked me na kausapin ang boss ko (her bro) and to assure him na magiging ok ang takbo ng project kahit di na ako ang humahawak. ayaw pa daw nya kasing kausapin yun dahil wala syang maibigay na solusyon sa problema. parang, teka.. obligasyon ko pa ba yun? di naman ako siguro sisigawan nito, tulad ng ginagawa nya sa ate nya di ba? masyado kasi syang na-i-stress na sya daw nagrecommend sa agency ng ate nya at kung mabibitin ang project e sya ang masisisi at ikasisira ng record nya at pwede nyang ikatanggal. san ang justification sa iniisip nyang ito? ewan ko. pano ko sya kakausapin? ewan ko rin. parang mahirap atang kumausap sa taong sa tingin ko e sarado na ang pag-iisip.
for now, kelangang matapos ko ang lahat ng pwedeng tapusin. para kung may maiwan mang
mga bugs e hindi na sya show stopper.

career and success
a very inspiring and eye-opening article, for those who are struggling in their work and finding their way to success, taken from Career Magazine
One in four workers is dissatisfied with their current job, according to the recent “Plans for 2004” survey by CareerBuilder.com. In any conversation or gathering, the topic tends to lean or end up towards our jobs. People love discussing the work that they do and finding out about others. We identify ourselves to the work that we do. Take some time to really listen and you will hear the dissatisfaction that is in the workplace. Even careers that come in a well-wrapped package of excellent salaries, benefits and privileges are not an exception at all. How and where do you start your search for a career? Whether you are fresh from training or coming back from a break in your working life, I have outlined a simple way of getting there:
Your Interests. What is it that really motivates you? What are you passionate about? Where do you get that driving force to overcome any obstacles that working life fires your way? I always say to clients to take the time to re-assess their life and work carefully. The first place to look is where your interests lie. Recall a time in your life since childhood where you have felt that strong passion flowing through you. What are you really interested in? What makes the butterflies in your belly fly all over or make your heart beat faster? What kind of work will get you out of bed every morning feeling refreshed from yesterday and ready to face another day in today’s battlefield of work?
A colleague had shared with me this story of a successful client who said to her that the only thing that seems to interest him when he was in school was the lunch break. Why? It is the only time where he could socialize with others and really connect with people. Assessing his situation when he was in the process of finding a career path, he held that thought dearly in his mind and came up with being an entrepreneur in financial advising. This person is way ahead of his time now building an empire that came from his interest in socializing and relating with people. He figured it out himself that with his strong interest in making a difference in a person’s life plus his deep desire in financial advising, he had found the path where he would like to go.
Your Beliefs and Values. A salesman who has over 25 years of experience and was laid off due to downsizing once said to me that as long as he believes in the product or service himself, he could definitely sell it! He also mentioned that the last thing he would like to do five days a week is to market something that doesn’t work and will only waste the consumer’s money. Isn’t this a formula for success? Put yourself in your clients’ shoes and ask yourself if you have really done a great job. If you value honesty, you have to practice it first and be able to give it to others in what you do.
Your Personality. Know thy self - another formula for success. There is an abundance of career assessments and services out in the market that one can avail of to get to know one’s self better. These tools whether self scoring or administered by a qualified professional will be most effective with the person’s knowledge of himself. They are there to guide and make you think outside the box. If you cannot do repetitive tasks over and over again then, working as an assembler of car parts will not be a good match for you. Recognizing where your strengths and weaknesses lie and finding a place where you could utilize these strengths to benefit the company and improving the weaknesses sounds like a good plan.
Dare to Take Risks. Risks taken after sufficient researching are calculated risks that would yield positive outcomes. Most of us get too comfortable of our existing situations even if we know very well that they are redundant or worse, obsolete. I could understand how change could generate fears of the unknown and of the unexpected. Life without change does not open doors to more or better opportunities. With our current business and technology moving so rapidly forward, how can we stick to old ways that do not work? This is why we have to undergo career and professional upgrading – to keep up with the flow of things instead of being left out. The world of work is now a life long learning field. It will require a lot of risk taking, letting go of things that do not work and being versatile – wearing different hats/multi-tasking.
Your Vision, Your Map. Through all these career searching or career change, never lose track of your end result. Write them down. Sound corny? Anybody who wants to invest their most valued time and effort into achieving their goals will not go in there without a plan. Why do you think builders and architects work on their blueprints first? You don’t put up the walls of a house without laying a strong base foundation first, right? Your vision is your guide, your reminder and your map. Also, dare to dream! Dreaming brings out the creativity in us. Creativity puts the glow and uniqueness to our work. It’s the one that sets us apart and adds colour to our achievements. Dreaming without doing achieves nothing. Make a list of things to do, do them (this is the most important step – to really do it!) and go back and experience the joy of putting a check mark beside the things you have accomplished.
Lastly, Take Ownership. As an adult job seeker, your time is up in pointing fingers at other people and putting the blame on them for your failures. You need to stop running and avoiding the truth! Face the facts, support your decision with important research and consult qualified people. I interviewed at least four people in my field of work in person before investing in a course that turned my career and life around. Coming to Canada as an immigrant and moving from one job to the other just to pay the bills, I lost that drive to excel and love what I do. I felt that I have turned into a robot programmed to do the same things over and over again. I was caught in the “Rat Race” of life and didn’t know how to get out. I made the decision to pursue a career that will revive me, make me look forward to coming to work everyday and live my passion of making a difference in other people’s lives. It wasn’t an easy road, there were quite a number of bumpy rides but that burning desire inside me carried me through it and made me appreciate the meaning of the work I do.

You Took My Heart Away
Lyrics taken from the album "Blue Night "
You Took My Heart Away
(Music and words: Jascha Richter)
Staring at the moon so blue
Turning all my thoughts to you
I was without hopes or dreams
I tried to dull an inner scream but you
saw me through
Walking on a path of air
See your faces everywhere
As you melt this heart of stone
you take my hand to guide me home and now
I'm in love
Chorus: You took my heart away
when my whole world was gray
You gave me everything
and a little bit more
And when it's cold at night
and you sleep by my side
you become the meaning of my life
Living in a world so cold
you are there to warm my soul
You came to mend a broken heart
You gave my life a brand new start and now
I'm in love
Chorus:
You took...
Holding your hand
I won't fear tomorrow
Here were we stand
we'll never be alone
Listen to You Took My Heart Away

Ten Years Ago: Third year college. Already used to having free-sched. Took one subject advance. Very eager to graduate, have a job and earn my own money.
Five years ago: I accepted my first contractual job in an agency. Tired of windows application programming, I self-studied web programming to become a web programmer. Was a regular visitor of jobstreet
Two years ago: I was back in Ortigas, and back to my former agency for a contractual job in a bank. Looking for a regular job.
One year ago: I was hoping to be a regular employee in one of my contractual clients. I was on the process of moving on from a failed relationship. Fortunately, my best buddy went back home from Canada. Thanks to him, and to God, I had my life back.
Yesterday: I got an unexpected phone call from a new friend, which made my spirits lift.

Give My Love (English Version) - Edward Chun
When I look in your eyes I can see that you
Want to be with me but you're so scared
And i don't know waht to say or do
But the tears keep falling from your eyes
And I know that
Times won't change my love
And I can't do nothing to keep you
Oh, I'll give my love oh when I hold you tight
Give my love through kisse oh so bright
And you know that I can't change my love
Take my love all through the night
As the hours pass away
You thing that love ain't here to stay
Feel a beat from your chest
But you don't give doubt a moment's rest
You dream the future and all you see is dark
Listen to your heart baby, the truth will set sparks
Now I'll give my love oh when I hold you tight
Give my love through kisse oh so bright
And you know that I can't change my love
Take my love all through the night
Now I'll give my love oh when I hold you tight
Give my love through kisse oh so bright
And you know that I can't change my love
Take my love all through the night
I'll give my love oh when I hold you tight
Give my love through kisse oh so bright
And you know that I can't change my love
Take my love all through the night

I Need You
Leann Rimes
I don’t need a lot of things
I can get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring
I’ve always needed something
But I’ve got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You’re my only reason
You’re my only truth
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
You’re the hope that moves me
To courage again
You’re the love that rescues me
When the cold winds, rage
And it’s so amazing
’cause that’s just how you are
And I can’t turn back now
’cause you’ve brought me too far
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do
I need you
I need you

haay life.. i dunno.. wasnt feeling well for days, dami kasing nagkalat na virus, and unfortunately, nakasalo ako, kaya ang bigat ng katawan ko. lucky for me kasi kahit ganito ang pakiramdam ko e ok naman ang takbo ng business, daming orders :) kaya lang, last night, my cellphone was snatched when i was in the bus. i was seated on the 2nd row near the door and this guy, pababa sya e hinablot cp ko at bumaba na. maybe i was just super tired, like i was feeling these past days, kaya wala yung presence of mind ko. thinking it over, ang daming boo-boos kaya nagtagumpay ang walanghyang yun.
1. i wasnt holding my cp on both hands, hawak nung isang kamay ko yung payong at pambayad sa bus. pero dati rati e carry ko naman hawakan pa rin ng both hands ang cp kahit ganun ang situation
2. i forgot to shout. hindi nya agad nahablot yung cp, and if i had the presence of mind to shout, the guy seating in front of me might have blocked his way.
3. pinipilit kong hawakan both ang cp cover at cp ko in one hand while texting. nung inagaw, madulas yung cp kasi yung tela yung nasa ilalim na syang nakadikit sa palad ko
lesson learned? madami, sobrang dami.. haay.. what a time na mawalan ng cp, kelangang makabili na ako within this weekend at mahirap magdeliver ng pabango ng walang cp :(

sis ivy had tagged me, at di ko pa nasasagot.. sowi po... well, here goes
(sana lang tama tanda ko, hehehe 
what i do when im stressed out
depende sa kung anong klaseng stress.. kung stress dito sa work..
- tumayo at maglakad papuntang cr (malayo cr dito kaya makakapag-isip ka, bukod sa marami kang makikitang tanawin tulad ng mga wheelmag, turnilyo at kung an0-an0 pa, hehehe..)
- gumawa ng checklist. ilista ang lahat ng dapat gawin, set priorities kung ano ang sisimulan, at kung di matapos within the day e may nakapila na for the next day
- sigawan ang makulit na boss para tumahimik at wag ka muna guluhin
kung techno stress naman..
- lumayo sa anomang bagay na may kinalaman sa teknolohiya, tulad ng pc at cell phone
- magrelaks, mag-unwind sa pamamagitan ng pagbabasa ng libro o pakikipagkwentuhan sa mga kaibigan at mahal sa buhay, in person, o pagtingin sa mga tanawin habang nagbibyahe

The Search is Over
Survivor
How can I convince you what you see is real
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel
I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever, the search is over
You were with me all the while
Can we last forever, will we fall apart
At times it's so confusing, these questions of the heart
You followed me through changes and patiently you'd wait
Till I came to my senses through some miracle of fate
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever, the search is over
You were with me all the while
Now the miles stretch out behind me
Loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie victims of the game
Then good luck it finally struck
Like lightning from the blue
Every highway leading me back to you
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle
Our destinies are one
So if you ever loved me
Show me that you give a damn
You'll know for certain
The man I really am
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Then I touched your hand, I could hear you whisper
The search is over, love was right before my eyes

i never thought that a serious post from a comic person like me can make me laugh. i expected the reactions that it had brought out, but i never thought that this friend of mine (not for whom the post was "intended" to) knows me this much, and im happy for it :D
Posted (in ascii.org's thread "A message to your loved one"): Wed Jul 06, 2005 9:12 am
to a good friend..
i wanted to say this to you but dont have the guts to say it straight, so i'll use this chance to say it..
im sorry coz there might be times that i had offended you, but i didnt mean to do it. its just my way of self-protection.
i thank you for being understanding and patient with me. you dont know how much i really appreaciate it.
even if i sometimes dont show it, i truly care for and about you.

kantahan muna
Kanlungan
Chorus:
Pana-panahon ang pagkakataon
Maibabalik ba ang kahapon?
Natatandaan mo pa ba
Nang tayong dal’wa ang unang nagkita?
Panahon ng kamusmusan
Sa piling ng mga bulaklak at halaman
Doon tayong nagsimulang
Mangarap at tumula
Natatandaan mo pa ba
Inukit kong puso sa punong mangga
At ang inalay kong gumamela
Magkahawak-kamay sa dalampasigan
Malayang tulad ng mga ibon
Ang gunita ng ating kahapon
Refrain 1:
Ang mga puno’t halaman
Ay kabiyak ng ating gunita
Sa paglipas ng panahon
Bakit kailangan ding lumisan?
[Repeat Chorus]
Ngayon ikaw ay nagbalik
At tulad ko rin ang iyong pananabik
Makita ang dating kanlungan
Tahanan ng ating tula at pangarap
Ngayon ay naglaho na
Saan hahanapin pa?
Refrain 2:
Lumilipas ang panahon
Kabiyak ng ating gunita
Ang mga puno’t halaman
Bakit kailangang lumisan?
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Refrain 2]
[Repeat Chorus]

Song : I KNOW
I don't need to own a fancy car
To drive with you around the city
I don't need to live in a palace like house
A simple home is enough for me
I don't need much
Only your attention
A hand to hold
To make me feel that i am not alone
I know
With you my life is worth living
I know
With you my life is gonna be just fine
I know
With you each day begins with a smile
I don't really have to worry
If some things won't workout for me
I don't really have to bother
Just as long as you're here with me
I don't need much
Only your affection
To see me through
To make me feel that i am not alone
I know
Together we can make our dreams come true
I know
That through the years we won't be growing old
I know
Counting stars won't be so hard to do
There will be our lowest times
But at the end of the tunnel shines
Our love for each other never fails
Baby i just know
Baby, I just know
I know
I know...
I don't need much
Only your affection
To see me through
To make me feel that i am not alone

sa lahat ng ayaw ko ay yung nagbaback out the last minute pagkatapos magcommit. pwede namang sabihin ng mas maaga na nde sya pwede at gusto nyang magback out e bakit kailangang hintayin pa na ilang oras na lang bago magsabi? masyadong makasarili at walang konsiderasyon sa oras ng iba. adding insult to injury na lang ito. ang injury ay tumawag ng alas-diyes ng nagdaang gabi at nagising hindi lang ako kundi maging ang aking ina. sa dalawang pagkakataon, ni hindi man lang nagsorry, bagkus ay tumawa pa ng nakakaloko at sadyang nang-aasar.

mula ng nagtaas ang minumum fare ng P2 noong martes, lagi ng aircon bus ang sinasakyan ko. P20 ang binabayad ko. kahapon, nagpunta ako sa ate ko sa sucat, walang aircon bus na dumadaan dun kaya nalaman ko na P16 na ang pamasahe ng ordinary bus mula mantrade hanggang sucat. lagpas P24 siguro ang magiging pamasahe ko mula mantrade papuntang alabang na dati-rati ay P17. mas mura pa ang aircon bus ngayon

i attended a friend's wedding yesterday which was officiated by Bro. Arnel Tumanan in Central Temple, and it was very inspiring. Ang isa sa pinakaborito kong yugto ay yung sinabi ni ka Arnel na "ka leo, mula pagkabata, hanggang sa pinag-aral sya ng kanyang magulang, ay wala kang ibinahagi. ngayon, dahil sa pananampalataya at pagmamahal ay buong pusong pumayag ang magulang ni ka bheng na pakasal sya sa yo. kaya marapat lamang na kung hindi mo man mahigitan ay mapantayan mo man lang ang pagmamahal na ibinagay sa kanya ng kanyang magulang" at kay bheng naman, something like "patunayan mo na hindi nagkamali si ka leo sa pagpasok sa buhay may-asawa"

Love Moves In (Mysterious Ways)
by Julia Fordham
Who'd have thought
This is how the pieces fit?
You and I
Shouldn't even try making sense of it
I forgot
How we ever came this far
I believe we had reasons
but I don't know what they are
So blame it on my heart, oh
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still, it's a mystery
How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways
Heaven knows
Love is just a chance we take
We make plans
But then love demands a leap of faith
So hold me close
And never let me go
'Cause even though we think we know
which way the river flows
That's not the way love goes, no
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still, it's a mystery
How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways
Like the ticking of the clock
two hearts beat as one
But I'll never understand
the ways it's done
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still, it's a mystery
How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways
Love moves in mysterious ways

lately, napapadalas ang panonood ko ng sine. the last 2 movies i saw was In Good Company and Madagascar, both with the same group of people. Next in my list is Batman and War of the Worlds. Sila pa rin kaya kasama ko? abangan..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
had an a-ok dinner yesternight. nameet ko na rin si mart at last! though nde kagandahan ang service ng aming nakainan (super bowl glorietta), ay bumawi na lang kami sa bonding at tawanan :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
isang mabentang dialogue ng anak ng boss namin dito...
kasama ko: anong gusto mo paglaki mo?
anak ng boss: pulitiko
kasama ko: anong gagawin mo pag naging pulitiko ka na?
anak ng boss: magbibingi-bingihan
makes sense?

I know that, what's happening now has its purpose. Alam ko na nga na part ng purpose na yun ay para makilala kita lalo, malaman ko for what you really are, and I'm thankful for that. Kaya lang, natatakot ako. Parang may domino effect ata ito, and I wish na matapos na ito at wag ng lumaki pa.

LOST IN SPACE LYRICS
Music: tucker/laws
lyrics: tucker
Artist: Lighthouse Family
Sometimes I get tired of this me first attitude
You are the one thing that keeps me smiling
That’s why I’m always wishing hard for you
’cause your life shines so bright
I don’t feel no solitude
You are my first star at night
I’d be lost in space without you
And I’ll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do
Feels just so fine
When we touch the sky me and you
This is my idea of heaven
Why can’t it always be so good
But it’s alright, I know you’re out there
Doing what you’ve gotta do
You are my soul satellite
I’d be lost in space without you
And I’ll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do
And I’ll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do
And I’ll never lose my faith in you
And I’ll never lose my faith in you

Life Cycles
Life cycles
One always has to know when a stage comes to an end.
If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through.
Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters - whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished.
Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents' house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden? You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. You can tell yourself you won't take another step until you find out why certain things that were so important and so solid in your life have turned
into dust, just like that.
But such an attitude will be awfully stressing for everyone involved: your parents, your husband or wife, your friends, your children, your sister, everyone will be finishing chapters, turning over new leaves, getting on with life, and they will all feel bad seeing you at a standstill.
None of us can be in the present and the past at the same time, not even when we try to understand the things that happen to us. What has passed will not return: we cannot for ever be children, late adolescents,sons that feel guilt or rancor towards our parents, lovers who day and night relive an affair with someone who has gone away and has not the least intention of coming back.
Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home. Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts - and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place.
Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them. Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated, your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood.
Stop turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over and over again, the one that shows how much you suffered from acertain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else.
Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love relationships that are broken off, work that is promised but there is no starting date, decisions that are always put off waiting for the "ideal moment." Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back. Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person - nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need. This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is very important.
Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life. Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust.
Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.

The Secret of Life Is to Get On Board
By Mary Ann Bailey
One of this year's box office hits was the movie, Polar Express. It's a wonderful story about the power of believing.
It is Christmas Eve and a little boy waits in his bed hoping to hear the bells of Santa's sleigh. As he anxiously waits for the reindeer to appear, a mysterious train pulls up in front of his house and the conductor invites him on board. The train is the Polar Express, and it is headed to the North Pole.
As the story unfolds, we learn that, "It doesn't matter where the train is going. What is important is deciding to get on." It is a gentle reminder to us all of how important it is to believe and follow our dreams.
Standing on the Platform
How many trains have you let go by in your life because you were uncertain of where they were going? How often have you found yourself standing on the station platform watching trains come and go, trying to decide which one was the right one for you? There you stand, frozen in indecision, as the world passes you by.
In order to keep growing and learning, we need to keep our lives moving. Water that doesn't run becomes stagnant, and the same is true of our lives. We need to be willing to try new things and be open to new experiences. We also need to trust that the process of life will take us to where we want to go if we remain aware and take advantage of the possibilities and opportunities that are constantly being put in front of us.
Jen was in the process of finding a new job. She was a college professor who had been recently laid off. She had been in education for a while, and although she had several other professional interests, she was having a difficult time actually visualizing herself in any other field.
As Jen stood on the station platform, the only trains that she felt comfortable boarding were the ones that were heading toward the academic world. But is that where she truly wanted to go? On the other hand, the trains that were headed in different directions were too scary to board. So, she felt completely stuck, unable to move in any direction.
Getting on Board
Jen soon realized that taking any train would serve her better than just sitting on the platform, so she took a leap of faith and decided to board the next train that came along. This train took her to an informational interview with the head of local environment group. Environmental issues had always been something that interested her, but she had never envisioned it as a profession. The interview went very well. Jen immediately connected with the director, and she came away with an extensive list of people and organizations to call for further information and possible job opportunities.
This experience bolstered Jen's sense of adventure, so she decided to jump on the next train that came by. This train was headed to a job interview at a local college. The position sounded promising and Jen certainly had all the qualifications. So, she boarded the train with great confidence, only to find at the end of the ride that education really didn't interest her anymore.
The interview had gone well. They asked her back, but it had become clear to Jen during the interview process that she no longer wanted to work in the college setting. The passion and excitement that she once had felt was gone. It was time to move on to whatever her next career path might be.
There is No Wrong Train
It could be argued that Jen had boarded the wrong train because it didn't end up taking her where she wanted to go. Yet, had she not gotten on that train, she would have always have had questions about whether or not she should leave education. Now she knows, and she can pursue other interests with her full and focused attention.
It will take some time for her to sort out exactly what it is that will rekindle her passion. But she knows something is out there waiting for her; and she is excited about all the possibilities and the process of creating a totally new career path. All she has to do is to hang on to her willingness to take a risk and step off the platform.
The answers we seek are not always right in front of us. We sometimes have to take a longer and more circuitous route than we would like to reach our destination. Our journey may require many trains; and if we hold ourselves back from boarding even one of the trains on our route, we may never truly reach our goal.
So, the next time a train comes your way, jump on board and take advantage of all the things you would have missed had you let it go by.
"Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."
--Will Rogers
