The Meantime Girl

She`s the one you call when you`re bored because she makes you laugh. She`s the one you talk to when you`re feeling down because she`s willing to lend an ear and be a friend. She`s not the one you call when you need a date to your company`s Christmas party, or to go dancing with on a Saturday night. She`s the one you spend time with between girlfriends, before you find `The One`. You know, the one you keep in the MEANTIME.

She`s not one of the guys, not a tomboy, but you don`t look at her as a "real" woman, either. She`s not bitchy enough, moody enough, or sexy enough to be seen in the light. She`s too laid-back, too easily amused by the same things your male buddies are amused by. She`s too understanding, too comfortable. Doesn`t make you feel nervous or excited the way a `real` woman does. But she`s cool, nice and funny, and attractive enough that when you`re lonely and need intimate female companionship, she`ll do just fine.

You don`t have to wine and dine her because she knows the real you already, and you don`t have any facades to keep up, no pretense to preserve. You`re not trying to get anything of substance out of her. She`s not easy, but you know that she cares about you and is attracted to you. And you know that you don`t have to explain yourself or the situation, that she`ll be able to cope with the fact that this isn`t the beginning of a relationship or that there`s any possiblity that you have any real romantic feelings for her.

It won`t bother her that you`ll get up in the morning, put on your pants, say goodbye, and go on a date with the woman you`ve been mooning over for weeks who finally agreed to go out with you. She`ll settle for a goodbye hug and a promise to call her and tell her how the date went. She`s just so cool.. why can`t all women be like that?!

But deep down, if you really think about it (which you probably don`t.. because to you, the situation between the two of you isn`t important enough to merit any real thought) you know that it`s really not fair.

You know that although she would never say it, it hurts her to know that despite all her good points and all the fun you two have, you don`t think she`s good enough to spend any real time with. Sure, it`smostly her fault, because she doesn`t have to give in to your needs - she could really play hard-to-get. Bitch like the rest of them do, if she really wanted to. But you and she both know that she probably couldn`t pull it off. Maybe she`s too short, or a little overweight, or has big birthmark on her forehead, or works at Taco Bell, or just really not that type.

Whatever the reason, somehow life has given her a lot of really great qualities but has left out the ones that men want (or think they want) in a woman. So she remains forever the funny friend, the steadfast companion, the secret lover, and you go on searching for your goddess who will somehow be everything you ever wanted in a woman.

You`ll joke to her that she should be the best man at your wedding, and she`ll laugh and make a joke about a smelly rental tux.

She doesn`t captivate you with her beauty, or open doors with her smile.

Mainly, she blends in with the crowd. She`s safe. She doesn`t want to be the center of attention and turn the heads of everyone in the room. But she wants to turn someone`s head. She wants to be SPECIAL to someone, too. We all do.

She has feelings. She has heart. In fact, she probably has a bigger heart than any woman you`ve ever known because she`s had a front-row seat to The Mess That Is Your Life, and she likes you anyway.

She obviously sees something worthwhile and redeeming in you because although you`ve given her nothing, absolutely no reason to still be around, she is. - Anonymous


just got this from the web, and.. oh well...

gumawa ka ng mabuti, sa yo. gumawa ka ng masama, sa yo.

this story was told by one of my loved pastors. i just hope i can tell it as good as he did.

sa isang kaharian, may isang pulubi na di marunong magpasalamat. ang lagi nyang sinasabi ay "gumawa ka ng mabuti, sa yo. gumawa ka ng masama, sa yo."

sa kahariang yun ay naghahari ang isang hari na may isang spoiled na anak na prinsipe. dahil spoiled ang anak na prinsipe, lagi nitong kinukutya ang pulubi. di naman gumaganti ang pulubi, ang tangi lang sinasabi nito ay "gumawa ka ng mabuti, sa yo. gumawa ka ng masama, sa yo." dahil dito, lalong nagngingitngit ang prinsipe, dahilan upang mainis din ang hari. hanggang sa nakaisip sya ng paraan.

isang araw, pinatawag nya ang pulubi, at binigyan ng magarang kasuotan at pagkain. nguni't imbes na magpasalamat ay ito lang ang sinabi ng pulubi. "gumawa ka ng mabuti, sa yo. gumawa ka ng masama, sa yo." dahil dito, lalong nagalit ang hari, pero hindi nya ito pinahalata.

umalis na ang pulubi, suot ang bagong damit at dala ang pagkain. hindi pa sya nakalalayo ay hinarang na sya ng prinsipe at ng mga kawal nito, binugbog at kinuha ang damit at pagkain.

habang sya ay gumagapang palayo, ang sabi ng pulubi ay "gumawa ka ng mabuti, sa yo. gumawa ka ng masama, sa yo."

di na iyon pinansin pa ng prinsipe at agad na kinain ang pagkaing binigay ng hari sa pulubi. di pa nagtatagal ay biglang bumula ang kanyang bibig, kaya dali-dali syang dinala sa palasyo. dun ay nagulat ang lahat, kaya tinanong ng hari kung anong nangyari. dun ay sinabi sa kanya ng mga kawal na kinain ng prinsipe ang pagkaing binigay nya sa pulubi. yun pala, ang pagkaing yun ay nilagyan ng lason ng hari.

sa kanyang pagdalamhati, animo'y umaaalingawngaw ang tinig ng pulubi "gumawa ka ng mabuti, sa yo. gumawa ka ng masama, sa yo."

best wishes jojo and lileth :)

to my kumare lileth and her hubby jojo, who held their eventful wedding ceremony last friday, sept 28, 2007, best wishes! nasulit ang lahat ng pagod, the celebration was simple, but with style ;)

i'm not really fond of the song "charing", in fact i changed radio channel every time i hear it play. now, after the weekly dev meeting, the song was the last part of "charing" and i can't help but smile, for i remember a friend, who feeling "nagwawala" sang it yesterday, hehehe

20 Things Girls Want Guys to Know

may nagpapatawa

saturday, i received an SMS from Gemma, nag-oorder ng perfume. raket ko kasi ito and for further info, just click here.
eniwey, wala akong load, hehehe. then di pa nakuntento, lumapit pa ngayon, bakit daw di ko sinagot text nya. oorder daw sya. sabi ko, di na ako nagtitinda. nagtimpi nga ako dahil gusto ko sanang sagutin na baka bigyan nya pa ako ng memo, pero for sure gyera na yun. katagal nangulit, obyus na walang pakialam kahit nakakaistorbo na sya sa ginagawa ko, and to think, yung nilapit nya e di naman office concern. plastic nga naman, buti sana kung tupperware o orocan e napapakinabangan pa

the never ending memo part 2

hay, buti sana kung singganda at colorful ng "Never Ending Story" wehehe :D anyweys, sinagot ko na yung memo nila, pero di pa rin ako tinigilan. pinatawag ako ng PM a day before last day nya sa ofc, nilagyan ng COO ng comments nya ang reply ko (in green). comments in blue e sagot ko sa PM ko


Attached is my reply to the memo given last Thursday. I don't mind getting this memo as long as Company Rules and Regulations will be strictly implemented to everyone and not just to a chosen few.

Dear Jary,



Please be informed that we are aware you have used the laser printer of the Customer Support Department to print your resume with the assistance of Deanne an hour or so ago. Printing documents such as your resume is improper, and downright unethical to say the least. Under the Company's Rules and Regulations, these are stipulated under:



1. Rule Number 1.9 Unauthorized Use of Company Equipment and other Assets and;

2. Rule Number 1.9.1 - Unauthorized use of Company property and resources e.g. time, employees, supplies, tools, computers, and other equipment for personal gain;



I will personally appreciate it if you can give me a response on this matter within the day since I have known and like you, likewise have mutual friends too even before we transferred to Valero Tower.



Thank you.





Gemma




gusto ng boss ko na baguhin ko ang sagot ko. sabi ko, ano naman ipapalit ko dun? magsorry daw ako. sabi ko, nagsorry na ako, yun nga unang reply ko. e indecent daw, so kahit anong sorry gawin ko, kahit mag-ala GMA pa ako e indecent pa rin yun. baguhin ko daw para baka mabigyan pa ako ng pardon. sabi ko, bakit, pag ba hindi ako binigyan ng pardon e ikukulong ako sa Tanay? cant really get it kung anong sense na ipabago pa sa akin ang reply ko e kasama naman sila sa circulation ng emails. ano yun, lokohan?

ito ang memo, bow!

is this official or personal or just a power trip from someone feeling almighty?

puppet history

history has never been my favorite subject. kaya di ko rin feel na i-re-live ang mga scenes sa history book, lalo na ang puppet govt noong panahon ng hapon. kaya wala rin akong balak manatili sa isang mala-gobyernong politika na pinamumunuan ng isang puppet

why o bakit?

why is it na kung kelan suko na ako, ayaw ko na, e saka ka naman lumalapit at bumabawi? are we really meant for each other, or is this only my foolishness? or ganun tayo na pag ang isa ay susuko na, anjan ang isa na aalalay? sana nga..

Wag Ka Ng Umiyak, Sugarfree

Wag ka nang umiyak
sa mundong pabago-bago
pag-ibig ko ay totoo
ako ang iyong bangka
kung magalit man ang alon ng panahon
sabay tayong aahon

Kung wala ka nang maintindihan
Kung wala ka nang makapitan
Kapit ka sa akin
kapit ka sa akin
Di kita bibitawan

Wag kang umiyak
mahaba man ang araw
uuwi ka sa yakap ko
wag mo nang damdamin kung wala ako sayong tabi
iiwan kong puso ko sa’yo
at kung pakiramdam mo’y wala ka nang kakampi
isipin mo ako dahil
puso’t isip ko’y nasa yong tabi

Kung wala ka nang maintindihan
Kung wala ka nang makapitan
Kapit ka sa akin
kapit ka sa akin
Di kita bibitawan

...hindi kita pababayaan
...hindi kita pababayaan


Kapit ka...
kumapit ka...

Kung wala ka nang maintindihan
Kung wala ka nang makapitan
Kapit ka sa akin
kumapit ka sa akin
Hindi kita bibitawan
Hindi kita pababayaan
Hindi kita pababayaan...

just when...

just when i had made up my mind to forget you, here you come knocking on my doorsteps

company rants...

after a long time, i found the company where i feel comfortable in. i love my work, i'm still learning a lot from it. i love my boss, we get along really well. i love my colleagues. it may not be a bed of roses but nothing's perfect, right? until i found out that our company hasn't been remitting our sss contributions for over a year. well, they said they are remitting them but unfortunately, they're not reflected in our contributions, due to some sss problems, but the company is duly paying them. excuses. fortunately, one of the cs peepz took the initiative to fix what the sss problem, and our contributions are now updated till march, 2007. why only march? because the grateful and nonsense hr felt that the cs peep has done something wrong, because she's the one being thanked at and not her, the hr. then, came philhealth contributions. most of my colleagues worked here as their first company and therefore has no philhealth numbers yet. the resourceful hr has given out philhealth forms a dozen times already, because she's forever losing them, and therefore can't request for a philhealth number for my colleagues. and those of us that already have philhealth numbers? well, she doesn't know who has and hasn't, thinking that we're only around 50 employees here. then came the demoralizing performance evaluation. so now, what step should i take next?

Catch me I’m Fallin’ by Toni Gonzaga

it's been more than half-a-month that i had updated my blog and there are lots of stories, of views, of rantings to post.. but for now, i'll sing what i'm currently feeling.....


Hmmm….

I don’t know why but when i look in your eyes
I feel something that seems so right
You’ve got yours i’ve got mine
I think i’m loosing my mind
Coz i shouldn’t feel this way
Catch me i’m falling for you
And i don’t know what to do

How can something so wrong?
Feel so right all along
Catch me i’m falling for you

How can time be so wrong
For love to come along?
Catch me i’m falling for you

How can love let it go
When it has no place to go
And i can’t go along pretending
That love isn’t here to stay
Catch me i’m falling for you ooh ooh

If i could just walk away
Without you floating today
I would die just thinking of you
I know we can’t therefore be more friends you and me
But why do i feel this way

Catch me i’m falling for you
And i don’t know what to do

How can something so wrong?
Feel so right all along
Catch me i’m falling for you

How can time be so wrong
For love to come along?
Catch me i’m falling you

Maybe someday i’ll see why love did this to me
And i can’t go along pretending
That love isn’t here to stay
Catch me i’m falling for you
Catch me i’m falling for you

And it’s wrong for me to feel this way
Coz i don’t know what to do without you
I’m falling for you
Catch me i’m falling for you

How can something so wrong?
Feel so right all along
Catch me i’m falling for you

Things between us don't get better
Men steady comin' after you
Women steady comin' after me
Seem like everybody wanna go for self
And don't wanna respect boundaries
Tellin' you all those lies
Just to get on your side
But I must admit there was a couple secrets
I held inside
But just know that I tried
To always apologize
And I'ma have you first always in my heart
To keep you satisfied

Nobody wanna see us together

Nobody wanna see us together

Cause I got you

Got every right to wanna leave
Got every right to wanna go
Got every right to hit the road
And never talk to me no more
You don't even have to call
Even check for me at all
'cause the way I been actin' lately
Has been off the wall
Especially toward you
Puttin' girls before you
And they watchin' everything I been doin'
Just to hurt you
Most of it just ain't true
And they won't show you
How much of a queen you are to me
And why I love you baby

Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
Cause I got you babe

dilemma over

i had been in a dilemma over a suitor na byudo. he has 3 kids, of which im just a few yrs older than his eldest anak. if you're asking me why the dilemma? its because i've been praying for a good husband, and i'm thinking that maybe, my prayer was asking for a so perfect person and since nobody is perfect, he should have his flaws, which is his pagiging byudo. but luckily, kagabi, when i agreed to us having a merienda before the day ends, i learned that hindi lang yung pagkakaroon nya ng anak ang magiging issue sa amin. mas magiging issue ang mga pananaw namin sa mga bagay bagay. now i know na hindi pa sya ang sagot sa panata ko. and i'm patiently waiting, knowing that He has good plans for me :)

Hawak Kamay

Minsan madarama mo kay bigat ng problema
Minsan mahihirapan ka at masasabing “di ko makakaya”
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
Di kaya ako’y tawagin
Malalaman mong kahit kailan

[chorus]
Hawak-kamay
Di kita iiwan sa paglakbay
Dito sa mundong walang katiyakan
Hawak-kamay
Di kita bibitawan sa paglalakbay
Sa mundo ng kawalan

Minsan madarama mo
Ang mundo’y gumuho sa ilalim ng iyong mga paa
At ang agos ng problema’y tinatangay ka
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
Di kaya ako’y tawagin
Malalaman mong kahit kailan

[repeat chorus]

[bridge]
Wag mong sabihin nag-iisa ka
Laging isipin meron kang kasama
Narito ako oh, Narito ako

[repeat chorus]

Sa mundo ng kawalan
Hawak-kamay, Hawak-kamay
Sa mundo ng kawalan

new age resume?

our new CEO has tasked our HR to send his CV to us, so we can get to know him and his backgrounds better. instead, she re-sends this email, which was a welcome note from one of the top officers in our main office. when asked about the CV, she says that this is what our CEO had said during the meeting, that this suffices it. so now I know what a resume looks like *duh*

Dalangin Ko'y Dinggin

O aking Ama, iyong dinggin
Mga pagsamo ng Iyong alipin
Nababatid mo, aking pangangailangan
Maawa Kang ipagkaloob
Ang makabubuti sa aking kapakanan.

Maanong ikubli, wag katitigan
Mga pagkakasalang aking nagawa
Nadala ng aking kahinaan
At ng aking kapaligiran.

Ipagpatawad din naman
Ang mga pagkakataong nasumpungang
Pinanghihinaan, nawawalan ng pag-asa
Maanong Iyong ipagkaloob
Matibay na pananampalataya.

Maanong ako'y Iyong hawakan
Lagi na ay Iyong gabayan
Wag itulot na mahila
Ng masamang layaw ng sanlibutan.

Bigyan din ng pusong masunurin,
Matutong wag manangan
Sa natatanaw ng paningin
Manapa ay ipagkatiwala
Ang lahat sa Iyong magagawa.


Amen.

election gimik

Noong lunes, May 14, pagkatapos ng pagboto, ay nagpunta kami ng aking ina sa SM Megamall. Medyo nag-aalangan pa ako nung simula dahil baka mapagod sya sa byahe. May kalayuan din ang SM Megamall kung san kami nakatira. Ngunit tumuloy na kami dahil yun lang ang maluwag na araw na makakagala kami at hindi masyadong magmamadali pag-uwi. Naglunch kami sa Tong Yang, na inakala namin parehong nagseserve ng lutong pagkain. Yun pala, kami ang pipili ng ingredients at kami ang magluluto. Akala ko ay hindi kami mag-eenjoy, ngunit sa sobrang kabusugan e hindi na kami naghapunan kinagabihan, hehehe. Habang nag-iikot sa SM Megamall ay nagkataong nandun din ang aking bestfrend at ang kanyang kabiyak. Kaya, pagkatapos ng 5yrs ng aming pagiging magkaibigan e nagkita din ang aking ina at ang aking kaibigan in person :)

Nung pauwi na kami, nakasalubong din namin ang isa pang kaibigan ko sa AsCII na matagal ko ng hindi nakikita. Kasama rin nya ang kanyang better half, kaya akin din syang nakilala :)

Sa kabuuan ay naging masaya at payapa ang araw na ito, bagama't nakakapagod. Nakabili na rin ako ng violin at sana ay matutuhan ko itong tugtugin ng mabuti :)

spidey 3

I was one of the many who watched Spiderman 3 on its first day of showing. In fact, I belong to the second batch who watched it. I was eager to catch the closing statements of the story, and luckily, had found this on the net.

"Whatever comes our way, whatever battle is raging inside us, we always have a choice. It's the choices that make us what we are, and we can always choose to do the right thing."

This reminds me of what my minister friend told me on one of our talks. God won't make the choice for us, He'll give us options and it's for us to decide which to choose.

bagong bahay, bagong yugto ng buhay

mula noong ako'y anim na taong gulang pa lang, lagi na kaming palipat-lipat ng bahay. bansag ko nga sa amin e nomad, gypsy, at npa, hehehe. at dahil ganun nga ang nakagisnan kong buhay, di nakakapagtakang isa sa mga pangarap ng aking ina ay ang magkaroon ng sariling bahay. pangarap na sa awa at tulong ng Ama ay nagkaroon na ng kaganapan. nitong nakaraang linggo, araw ng biyernes, ay lumipat na kami sa bago naming tahanan. sa kapipilit ng aking ina, nakakuha rin kami ng isang maliit na lote, at napatayuan ng munti naming palasyo. bagama't medyo marami pang bagay na dapat isaayos, nananampalataya akong simula na ito ng katugunan sa mga panalangin namin. nananampalataya din akong unti-unti ng hinahawi ng Ama ang mga gusot sa buhay ko upang ipagkaloob ang matagal ko ng pinagpapanata :)

hu u?

i've been trying to ignore these unknown callers, but they're really getting on my nerves! and i really feel bad how they had got hold of my number. geez. talk about trust and security. i just hope they stop calling since i had already told at least 3 of them that i dont talk to strangers, even if they claim otherwise...

Walang kadala dala

By: Janno Gibbs

Ilang beses bang
Kailangang masaktan
Upang maintindihan
Na di biro ang
Umibig ng tapat
Dapat alam mo na yan

Refrain:
Ngunit sadyang matigas
Ang ulo ng puso ko
Lalong nagpupumiglas
Habang pinipigil mo

Ohhh….

Chorus:
Ohh.. wala kang kadala dala
Hindi ka na natuto at
Tila lumalalala pa

Ohh..Wala kang kadala dala
In love ka na naman
Wala kang kadala dala dala dala..


Di bat kailan lang
Oh Heto na naman..
Buti sana kung ikaw lang
Ang nasasaktan
At nalilintikan
Di bat ako lang naman..


Repeat refrain
Chorus

APE result

last March 13, i had my APE, and got the result last week. it says there that im just 4lbs underweight, o divah? ang saya saya :D

ang sampung piso, bow

tuwing linggo, ang mga una kong ginagawa sa umaga ay dumalo sa pagtitipon ng 545am, at bumili ng pancit para sa almusal pauwi. noong march 25 ay nakalimutan kong wala palang pera ang bag ko. naaalala ko lang na wala pala akong perang pambili ng pancit noong palabas na ako. chineck ko pa ang bag ko dahil alam kong may mga barya akong naiiwan dun, nguni't P4 na lang pala ang naiwan. hinanap ko ang isa sa aking mga ate upang makahiram ng P10 pambili ng pancit. nguni't sya pala ay maysakit kaya wala ng pagkakataong iyon. tinry ko ring pumunta sa likod kung may makikita akong pwedeng mahiraman. natatawa ako, kasi sa halagang P10, para akong natutuliro at walang mahiraman, hehehe. dahil kilala naman namin ang may ari ng tindahan, nagsabi na lang ako na kung pwede ay pautang ng pancit at sa hapon ko na lang babayaran. pumayag naman, nakakatawa pa nga, naabutan ko syang nagsisilid ng pancit sa plastic, e yun na ang ibinigay sa akin, instant! weheheh :D

fact or fiction?

It's been awhile since I read a book. There are times that I would have bought some books I browsed in bookstores, but the kuri side got the better of me, hehehe. recently, I'm into watching dvd kaya lalong nawala yung hilig ko sa books. or so I thought. Just recently, a friend of mine gave me a book, titled A Million Pieces, which is an autobiography of James Frey. I'm not really into biographies or autobiographies. But since she gave it to me, I started reading it. It's easy reading, as she had said, and I'm now 70% done reading the book :) pag pala papipiliin ako between dvd and a book e mas pa rin ako sa book :D

Today, I tried to googling James Frey, and this is what I found out:

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0104061jamesfrey1.html


So, what's the real score? I don't know. Anyway, the book portrayed a life of an addict, and I think this is somehow an insight to what's going through an addict's mind, which may help someone who is related to an addict.

my vacation is approved!

yahoo!!!

weekend crash

its good that my sched was moved to 10-7pm last wed. late na kami nakauwi ng tuesday, and i'll surely have a hard time waking up at 4am. anyway, ang draw back naman, kakapagod ang byahe pauwi. mas mahaba kasi ang travel time dahil may traffic na :(

last weekend, nagcrash ang million dollar server ng isang app namin (exag ang price, syempre) super kakagulat dahil super mahal nga ng bili sa server na ito. kaya weekend e namomroblema kami. naayos na rin kahapon, pero di pa rin nagagamit dahil may dapat pang gawin ang aming mga seattle partners.

What Am I Like?

got this from ivy

ako ba talaga ito?


1st set: Planner or Spontaneous?
Your answers suggest you are a Planner, not Spontaneous.
You like making schedules, being on time and avoiding last-minute stress.

2nd set: Facts or Ideas?
Your answers suggest you are a Facts, not an Ideas person.
You are a practical person who remembers details from your surroundings.

3rd set: Heads or Hearts?
Your answers suggest you are a Head, not a Heart person.
When making a decision, you tend to weigh the possible consequences in a logical, detached way.

4th set: Extrovert or Introvert?
Your answers suggest you are an Extrovert, not an Introvert.
You tend to focus on and get your motivation from the world around you.


Your answers suggest you are a Supervisor

The four aspects that make up this personality type are:




Summary of Supervisors

* Bring order to their home and work life
* Like to act on clear, achievable goals
* Think of themselves as stable, practical and sociable
* May be irritated when people don't follow procedures

More about Supervisors

Supervisors like to make plans, organise people and get things done efficiently. They are natural administrators who dislike chaos and strive to bring order to every aspect of their lives. Supervisors like jobs where the goals are clearly defined and there are proven work methods in place.

Supervisors are most likely to say they prefer a job which involves a series of separate projects, according to a UK survey.

Supervisors use logic to solve problems and believe in being open and direct in their communications with others. They prefer to work and socialise with like-minded people.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Supervisors may reject the opinions of others and insist they are right. Under extreme stress, Supervisors may feel cut off from the people around them and lose confidence in their own ability to cope.

Because they like to take charge and organise activities, others may find Supervisors too bossy.

Supervisor Careers

Supervisors are often drawn to jobs in management or administration that require logical planning.

It's important to remember that no survey can predict personality type with 100 percent accuracy. Experts say that we should use personality type to better understand ourselves and others, but shouldn't feel restricted by our results

a news article

Ka Erdy Manalo
PANAGINIP LANG Ni Nixon T. Kua
Ang Pilipino STAR Ngayon 01/02/2007

Bagama' t tayo po ay isang Katoliko, lubos ho ang paghanga natin kay
Ka Erano G. Manalo na birthday nga ho ngayong araw na ito, at sa mga
kapatid natin sa Iglesia ni Cristo dahil sa disiplina nilang tunay na
dapat sana tularan natin.

Kakaiba kasi ang disiplinang pinakikita nila lalo na sa kanilang
pagsasamba na isang malaking halimbawa ng pag-rerespeto nila sa DIYOS.
Nakailang sama na tayo sa paanyaya ng ilan nating kaibigang mga INC sa
kanilang pagsasamba at hindi natin maiwasan ikumpara unang una ang
kalinisan sa loob ng kanilang kapilya. Ilang local na ho ang napasyalan
natin at pare-pareho ho ito.

Hindi ho kagaya ng ugali nating mga Katoliko na kanyang kanyang
puwesto na kadalasan tuloy ay naiiwang bakante ang maraming silya sa
gitna, sa mga kapatid ho natin sa INC ay pupunuin ang bawat silya mula
sa harap hanggang makarating sa likod.

Wala rin hong social status ang sistema ng kanilang pag-okupa at first
come first serve lahat. Kahit sino ka man, kahit sikat ka, walang
reservation at kung mahuhuli ka ay sa likod ka uupo.

Bawal rin sa kanila ang mga damit na masyadong maiksi na suot minsan
ng ilan nating mga kapatid na Katolikong kababaihan na siya namang
aaminin nating nakakadistract ng attention. Hiwalay rin ho ang puwesto
ng mga babae at lalaki at walang batang nagtatakbo sa loob na mistulang
ginagawang playground.

Ang mga song book nila ay nakalagay sa kaliwang bahagi ng mahabang
bangko at isa isang kinukuha at pagkatapos ng kanilang pagsasamba ay isa
isa rin nilang binabalik. Kung ginagalang ho kasi natin ang PANGINOON
bakit natin kinakalat na lamang ang mga misalette o anumang papel sa
simbahan na napakarumi tingnan.

Wala rin hong nag-bubulungan sa kanila habang sumasamba at lalong
walang kalabitan na madalas ring gawin ng ilan nating mga kasamahan sa
simbahang Katoliko.

Ultimo sa katapusan ng kanilang pagsasamba, row by row silang
lumalabas at hindi nagkakagulo at naguunahan. Muli lang natin naalala
ito lalo na nung panahon ng holidays kung saan dumalaw naman tayo sa
ilang simbahan upang magpasalamat sa PANGINOON sa lahat ng biyayang
nakukuha natin. Lahat ho tayo ay dapat mag-count ng blessings natin na
bigay sa atin ng DIYOS.

Tunay na kahanga hanga at karapat dapat tularan hindi lamang sa paraan
ng pagsasamba o pagsisimba kung hindi sa lahat ng antas ng lipunan dahil
isa sa pinakamalaking suliraning kinakaharap natin ngayon ay ang
kakulangan sa disiplina at palakasan system na laganap.

At komo unang column natin ito ngayong taong 2007, sana kahit sa
maliit na paraan ay maantig natin ang ating mga kababayan at ma-adopt
natin ang disiplinang pinaiiral ng mga INC upang kahit paano naman ay
maibsan ang problema ng bayan.

Ka Erdy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY po sa inyo at Congratulations.

sa Ama ang kapurihan :)

lucky wallet, lucky me

i have heard from my officemates' conversation before na ang wallet, pag naiwan mo sa bahay e babalikan at babalikan mo, di tulad ng cellphone. well, not in my case. di ko alam na naiwan ko wallet ko, and my mom just texted me na naiwan ko nga so that di ako maghahanap. nasa bus na ako ng tingnan ko ang cell ko. yung pamasahe ko e nasa coin purse ko naman na dala ko, so ok lang. kala ko e mangungutang ako sa ofc para makapagmerienda at makauwi. pero lucky for me, yung isang officemate ko na nagpabili ng dvd e binayaran nya kanina yung dvd. kaya heto, may pangmerienda at pamasahe na ako pauwi :D

taon ng kasalan

i cant remember if it was 2004 or 2005, pero ang dami kong friends at kakilala na nagpakasal that year. ngayon e nandito na namang muli ang taong iyon. at ang isa sa mga mahirap na part jan, para sa akin, ay ang kunin akong abay. hindi kasi ako at ease, kaya naman lahat ng nag-aalok ay tinatanggihan ko. wag lang sana sumama ang loob. noon ngang kasal ng kapatid ko ay ilang linggo na lang bago ang kanyang kasal nung napapayag nila ako. kaya sana ay maintindihan nyo ako. to my friends who are getting married, i can help you in the preparation, pero wag na lang ako gawin abay, okie? ;)

saberdey hang over

Facts about Christmas

1. Did Mary ride a donkey to Bethlehem?
Perhaps, but there are various other possibilities. The Bible doesn't say how she got to Bethlehem. It only says that she came with Joseph.


2. Did Mary arrive in Bethlehem the night she gave birth?
The Bible does not suggest this. They could have arrived weeks earlier. God's Word simply states, "while they were there [in Bethlehem], the days were accomplished that she should be delivered" (Luke 2:6). Arriving in town well before her due date would make more sense.


3. Did Joseph or Mary talk to any innkeepers?
Perhaps, but there is no solid, biblical reason to believe that they did. Although innkeepers play a prominent part in many Christmas plays, no innkeeper is actually mentioned in the biblical record of Christ's birth. Furthermore, it is likely that Mary and Joseph actually stayed in a house with relatives, not behind some kind of Bible-times hotel.


4. Was Jesus born in a stable? Or a barn? Or a cave?
The Bible does not mention any of these three places in connection with Christ's birth, only a manger. Scripture simply reports that they laid Jesus in a manger because there was no room for him in the guest room. The Greek word used in Scripture is kataluma, and can mean guest chamber, lodging place or inn. The only other time this word was used in the New Testament, it means a furnished, large, upper story room within a private house. It is translated guest chamber, not inn (Mark 14:14-15). According to our Bible archaeology experts, Jesus was probably born in the house of relatives, but outside (under) the normal living and guest quarters.


5. "Away in a manger the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes." Although this is part of a beautiful song, we cannot be sure that Jesus did not cry. The Bible does not report this.


6. Did angels sing to the shepherds outside of Bethlehem?
Perhaps, but the Bible doesn't specifically say that the angels sang. It says that first an angel appeared and spoke, and then appeared "a multitude of the heavenly host praising God" (Luke 2:13).


7. Were angels present at the birth?
It seems logical to assume that they were, however, Scripture does not report it, and there is no evidence that angels were visible to Mary and Joseph at this time.


8. Did three kings riding camels come to Jesus' birth?

The Bible does not say that any kings or camels visited young Jesus.
Wise men riding camels.
It does report wise men ("magi") came, but it does not say how many. None of the early Church Fathers, suggested the magi were kings. Since the word "magi" used in the Bible is plural, there were apparently at least two, and there could have been more -- even several more. The Bible simply mentions three costly gifts they presented -- gold, frankincense and myrrh, but this does not necessarily indicate the number of magi. There is also no proof of what country these men came from.

Baby Jesus presented at Tempe.
Before the arrival of the magi in Bethlehem, Jesus traveled to and from Jerusalem for presentation in the Temple (Luke 2:21-22).

Also, the wise men clearly did not visit Jesus when he was still lying in the manger, as is commonly shown on greeting cards and in plays. The magi did not arrive until sometime after Christ's presentation in the Temple in Jerusalem (Luke 2:22-39).
Child - Jesus Christ.
At this time, Scripture calls Jesus a "child," not a "baby." It is possible that little Jesus was walking and talking by then. Based on the calculations of King Herod and the magi (Matthew 2:16), Jesus could been two years old or under.


9. Was Jesus born on December 25, or in December at all?
Although it's not impossible, it seems unlikely. The Bible does not specify a date or month. One problem with December is that it would be unusual for shepherds to be "abiding in the field" at this cold time of year when fields were unproductive. The normal practice was to keep the flocks in the fields from Spring to Autumn. Also, winter would likely be an especially difficult time for pregnant Mary to travel the long distance from Nazareth to Bethlehem (70 miles).

White Cross

last monday, we went to white cross. it's a company sponsored charity work for an orphanage. grabe, kakaaliw ang mga bata! they're super cute and kulit :D we really had fun :D wawa nga lang, nagkakaroon sila ng rashes. maybe dahil marami sila and nagkakahawaan. or maybe dahil hindi ganun naaasikaso ang bawat isa sa kanila. kung pwede nga lang mag uwi ng bata, haaaaay..

wawa naman mga dolphins...

got this from an email, just can't help but post this. i'm really fond of watching dolphins, and was planning to watch this at MOA but this article is really an eye opener.



PAWS and EII (Earth Island Institute) had a meeting with the dolphin show organizer Movers and Shakers and SM Investments.

Here are a few things our representatives Trixie (EII) and Anna Cabrera (PAWS) observed in the travelling dolphin show facility:

1. The dolphins did not receive enough protection from the sun - the "roof" on top of the dolphin pool was just a net where the sun's rays passed through. At noontime and up to 3pm, it must be hell for these dolphins.
*At time this picture was taken (3.30pm), the heat wasn't so bad, as can be seen in photos

2. Dolphins swim in an 8ft by 12 meter tank. A size not even one ten thousandth of one percent of the marine mammals' normal habitat size

3. Sea lions were kept in pens only as big as their own body sizes. They were swimming around and around the small confined space. (at this point, Anna was told not to take anymore photos)

4. Dolphins and sea lions have five performances every single day. 11 am, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm and 8pm. The organizer advised that they have very few attendance in the 11 am and 2 pm slots because it was too hot for the audience. To think that the audience area was amply covered, while the dolphin pool only had a transparent net for a roof.


DOLPHIN SHOW FACT SHEET : WHY YOUR COMPANY SHOULD NOT SUPPORT THIS CRUEL SHOW

1. Source of dolphins used in marine shows: dolphins were captured from the wild and their families were killed in Japanese drive fisheries. Parents of the dolphins usually 'interfere' when the hunters try to take the young (trainable) dolphins so they are killed. (We have video footage of this, pls PM me if you want a copy. If you have a copy of the documentary "Earthlings, " similar footage is shown.)

Owners of dolphin shows perpetuate this kind of cruel hunting in the wild because they serve as the market for these hunters. Hence, those who are patronizing dolphin shows are indirectly also contributing to this trade.

Help us stop the killing. Don't Watch Dolphin Shows.

2. Dolphin shows (whether temporary or permanent facilities) are inherently cruel as they shorten the lifespan of dolphins as shown by numerous scientific studies. Dolphins in the wild live up to 50 to 60 years while captive dolphins, if they are lucky, live up to only an average of 15 years.

In Ocean Adventure in Subic, four whales under the age of sexual maturity have already died.

3. Temporary facilities such as traveling dolphin-shows are much more stressful for aquatic animals such as dolphins because they have to be moved time and again after their they have finished their show in a particular area.

If it is stressful to move terrestrial animals such as elephants, tigers, and lions for circuses, it is much more stressful for a dolphin to be moved as they have to be immobilized for the duration of the trip from one location to another. As you all know, dolphins never stop moving in the wild, but when they are moved, they have to be taken out of the water and put into hammocks which is like putting a straightjacket over the animal.

4. Temporary facilities for dolphin shows usually use CHLORINATED water in their tanks which will BLIND the dolphins over time. Temporary facilities, usually smaller than permanent facilities, tend to save up on changing and cleaning the water the dolphins swim on, that is why they use chlorine. The dolphins will also be urinating and defecating in this small space. Over time, you can actually say that these animals will be swimming in their feces.

5. The size of the tank at the Dolphin Show in Mall of Asia is 8 feet by 12 feet (as reported in newspapers). This is not even one ten-thousandth of one percent of marine mammals' normal habitat size. Dolphins swim for hundreds of miles in the ocean No wonder a lot of dolphins are driven to insanity in these types of facilities. This is the worst type of life imprisonment that a living creature can ever be subjected to.

*Clarification that SM wishes to put forth: The dolphin show is not a mall event and is actually not even technically located within the mall grounds but in SM Bay City. However, the event posters clearly bear the SM Mall of Asia logo (an error, according to SM Investments) .

napapadalas ang pag absent ko :( i thought okay na yung tyan ko, tapos heto na naman :( di pa nga ako nagpapasaway na kumain ng maasim e.. haaaay... wag naman sana akong masisante :(

after 2 weeks

almost 2 weeks ko ng di na-update itong blog ko. was really busy with things. last thursday, after suffering from severe stomach pain that week, i went to the doctor and found out that i'm suffering from acid peptic disease. ang cause daw nito ay nagpapalipas ng gutom. e palakain nga ako e, pano nangyari yun? anyway, bawal sa akin ang maasim at maanghang. pati iced tea e bawal. so tiis tiis muna, haay buhay. wish lang e tumaba sana ako dito, hehehe.

kanina ay naglunch kami nina ivy at jon. finally, nakita ko rin si ivy! pano naman, magkalapit na nga lang kami ng ofc e di pa kami nagkikita. si jon? sige na nga, kahit pano e namiss ko rin ang mokong na ito, hehehe. ate seafoods pasta at delifrance, solb ang 2nd lunch ko :D

radar

didnt know why i was a bit thrilled about going to church last sat. was expecting nothing special. but when we went home, i saw him. was shocked to see him. tumaba sya, hiyang. good for him. and good for me too. bagong "rejuvinate" ang hair ko, kaya tulo laway na naman sya, hehehe

Fear

there are many things in this life
that brings fear to us

fear of the unknown
fear of what was expected to happen

fear of being alone
fear of being tied with someone

fear of being sick
fear of out-living loved-ones

but what does all this show us?
when we entrust ourselves with ourselves,
we can do nothing, we are nothing

and with this fear
we should replace this with faith
faith for what He can do for us
faith that He may not leave or forsake us

and this I pray,
"Lord, take all my fears away
leave in its place, a deep faith in You
a faith that may not waver
a divine fear that I may not wander
and Your light that may forever guide my path.
Amen."

21 - Earthquakes jolt Central Philippines

21 earthquakes on oct 21.. hmmm.. sana naman e magandang yanig ang dulot nito sa akin, hehehe

Saturday, October 21 2006 @ 06:58 PM BST Provincial Five earthquakes struck Central Philippines since Friday night, the latest of which was felt at around 11:45 a.m. Saturday, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs). A magnitude of 5.2 earthquake shook Boac, Marinduque at 10:30 p.m. Friday, followed by at least 41 minor aftershocks. No casualties or damages were reported. Phivolcs said the first four quakes -- 10:30 p.m. Friday, 1:27 a.m. Saturday, 6:09 a.m. Saturday, and 10:53 a.m. Saturday -- had epicenters in the vicinity of Boac, Marinduque while the latest tremor which was felt at 11:45 a.m. today, with a magnitude of 3.8, was placed at 32 kilometers southwest of Lucena City in Quezon province with a depth of five kilometers. Intensity 5 was also felt in Batangas City and Bauan, Batangas; intensity 4 in Manila, Lipa City, Batangas and San Pablo City, Laguna. Intensity 3 was felt in Makati City, Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro; Talisay, Batangas and Lucban, Quezon while intensity 2 was felt in Quezon City, Tagaytay City and Guinayangan, Quezon. The earthquake was of tectonic origin and was traced from the movement along the eastern segment of Lubang Fault. Phivolcs however said it has not issued any tsunami warning in the coastal areas of Southern Luzon, as the recent earthquakes were not capable of generating destructive tsunamis. Tsunamis are usually generated by a quake magnitude of about 7.0, it said. Phivolcs expects aftershocks to continue in the next few days but not powerful enough to cause damage." The Philippines is part of the so-called "Ring of Fire" of volcanic islands along the western rim of the Pacific Ocean that sit on unstable earth plates and are prone to earthquakes. Phivolcs recorded at least 10 quakes everyday, but few are felt. (PNA) -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by Balita MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Back To Me

by Cueshe

Sometimes i feel like i'm all alone
Wondering of what have i done wrong.
Maybe i'm just missing you all along
When will you be coming home
Back to me?

There were times i felt like giving up.
Haunted by memories i can't give up.
Wish that i never let you go and slip away,
Had enough reasons for you to stay.

Can you feel me,
See me falling away.
Did you hear me,
I'm calling out your name.
'cause i'm barely hanging on
Baby, you need to come home
Back to me.

Sleepless nights,
'cause you're not here by my side
Cold as ice,
I feel deep down inside.
Maybe i'm just missing you all along
When will you be coming home

Can you feel me,
See me falling away
Did you hear me,
I'm calling out your name.
'cause i'm barely hanging on
Baby, you need to come home
When will you be coming home
Back to me.

alamang at kawali

havent eating alamang in a long time, kaya excited ako ng malamang alamang ang baon ko for lunch. after taking a bath e naaamoy ko na yung timpla ng mom ko, kaya lumapit ako. nabunggo nya yung kawali kaya tinry kong saluhin yun kesa sa kanya bumagsak. nasalo ko naman, este ng paa ko pala, hehehe :D lucky for me, di pa sya nasasalang, hehehe :D

sucker for men on white shirts

just discovered i was one... hmmmm

after 1 week

sept 28 nang dumating si Milenyo at nawala ang kuryente sa buong Metro Manila. kahapon, Oct 5 lang nagkaroon ng kuryente sa amin. swerte pa namin dahil may ilang bahagi pa rin sa aming lugar ang wala pa ring kuryente. haaaay buhay.. nagpapasalamat pa rin ako at hindi kami nahirapan sa pagtupad at pagsamba.

dito naman sa ofc e 2 days ng nagloloko ang power.. wed half day at kahapon whole day.. jurassic pa itong bldg namin kaya di kaya ng generator supplyan ang kanilang mga tenants.. hay life

kudos pag-asa! kutos to meralco!

manila was a direct hit by storm milenyo, and all praises to pag-asa. classes were suspended a day before. signal number 3 was raised in the metropolis. pag-asa's forecast that the storm will hit the metropolis at noon was accurate! hitech na ang weather forecasting ng pinas, sa wakas! but i couldn't say the same for meralco. unfortunately, 5 days after the storm, wala pa rin kaming kuryente. tama lang yung sabi ko na nasa ikapitong bundok kami ng tralala dahil walang signal, walang kuryente, walang phone lines, wala ring tubig (kakambal kasi ng kuryente ang tubig sa amin).. para tuloy kaming nasa liblib na probinsya, hehehe.. sana naman, magkaroon na ng kuryente sa amin within the day.

aside sa mga nasirang pagkain dahil walang ref, nagpapasalamat ako sa Ama dahil hindi Nya kami pinabayaan, at nakaligtas kami sa malakas na bagyong nagdaan. sa pagpasok ko sa office e nakita ko ang sangkaterbang billboards na nagbagsakan, ang iba ay sa mga bahay pa mismo bumagsak.

~~~~~~~~~~~

time tests true friendship. totoo ito, and in my case, sad to say, i had proven one of those that i call a true friend to be a mere acquaintance. sad to say din, na i proved twice na she's not that at all interested in me, but interested only in something that will be beneficial or will concern her. oh well, life's like that. at least, nakita ko na ang totoo nyang kulay.

draining week

i usually set aside at least one day of the week to attend to bible study sessions. but i'm usually able to attend 2-3 sessions per week. ito ang naging takbuhan ko sa mga panahong ito. but, because of my busy sched last week, i was only able to attend one session. then last saturday, dun ko muling naramdaman ang panghihina.. unti-unting nagbabalik ang lungkot at depression.. dun ko narealize ang kakulangan. at ang buting idinudulot ng pakikinig ng Kanyang katotohanan. totoo ngang hindi lang sa tinapay nabubuhay ang tao

brand new nokia 2310 for sale

baka may alam kayo naghahanap ng cellphone, im selling a brand new nokia 2310, may one year warranty pa, sim locked sa sun. P4500 lang po :D

isang linggo...one week.... one weak

one week delayed ang server namin, which means lost time for us. unfortunately, di nausog ang launch date ng project namin, since mismong CEO at COO ang nagpupush nito. so kayod to the max kami. more than one week na akong feeling tired. stressed kasi sa work, at di makabawi ng tulog since pati saturdays e may pasok kami. almost one week na rin na maaga ang pasok namin, 6am to be exact. sana pagtapos ng project na ito, pwedeng humirit ng one week na vacation :D

batch 2

may naalis na naman kahapon, isa sa amin, ewan ko kung meron pa sa kabila. kinausap din kami ng management dahil sa nangyayaring downsizing. napaka-assuring naman ng management sa status namin. may employment contract kaming hawak, na nakalagay na one month before kami iterminate ay iinform kami. then may makukuha kami, one month per year. karamihan sa amin ay wala pang 1 year. ira round off na daw yun to 1 year. stable nga (daw) ang company.

what is with yesterday?

i dont know what it is with yesterday, tuesday, aug 22. it was the first working day after a long weekend. most of the people at work are in a not-so-lively-and-jolly mood. karamihan ay tinatamad, may malungkot din dahil sa lovelife. nakabangga ko rin nung umaga ang mejo maepal kong prog. ang worst e yung binalita ni ela, na naconfirm ko ngayon. nagbawas ng tao dito, at may 2 na nabawas sa dept namin. cost-cutting, downsizing ang ginamit na term. nakakagulat. nakakabigla. samantalang noon ay panay ang assurance nila na stable ang company. e ano ito? nakausap ko ang frend ko sa seattle ofc, nagbago daw ng management. kaya marahil magbabago daw ng galaw ang kumpanya. di ko ngayon alam kung ano ang patutunguhan namin, kung may susunod pa bang tatanggalin o ano.

~~~~~~~~~

nagkakaphobia na ata ako sa cubao. 2x na ako nainjan. isa nung nakaraang linggo. kausap ko pa yung imimit ko ng after lunch. sya pa nagrequest na kung pwede ay agahan namin. dumating ako ng 30mins earlier sa usapan, maaga. kaso, anong oras na ay wala pa rin sya. umalis na ako ng sumagot sya sa text. may sakit daw sya at di makakapunta. sana kako ay sinabi na nya nung magkausap, ng niresched na lang at para di sayang ang oras, pagod at pamasahe.

pangalawa kagabi. di ko inaasahan na iinjanin nya ako dahil dati na naman kaming nagkikita. past 5pm ay nandun na ako, 6pm pa ang usapan. tinext ko na sya na andun na ako para dumerecho na sya paglabas nya ng trabaho. 6pm ay nagtext pa sya na nagreredi na sya. (dapat ay nakaalis na nga sya ng oras na yun.) past 7pm na ay wala pa rin sya, at sa kabila ng sangkatutak kong text at miskol e di sya nagpaparamdam. nagpasya akong umalis na. nasa mrt na ako ng tumawag sya. nagkaroon daw sila ng mtg ng 530pm. parang magulo ata yun. kaya sabi ko e iresched na lang nya. ang gusto nya ay hintayin ko pa sya, pero sobrang pagod at inis na ako. may kukunin syang panregalo sana sa araw na ito, sinabi ko na sabihin na lang kung kukunin pa o hindi na, pero hindi ko na maibibigay yun sa kanya kagabi.

nakakainis kung bakit may mga taong hindi marunong magpahalaga sa panahon at oras ng iba. ang pera ay madaling maibalik, pero ang oras na nawala, di mo na kailanman maibabalik yun.

weyt apdeyt 2

my mom had her blood laboratory yesterday, and while we were at the clinic, i took the chance of weighing myself. whoa! i lost 12lbs! baket? kung kelan naman kain ako ng kain, nabawasan pa timbang ko. nakasama ata na tumigil ako magbadminton for a month ah.. my body really works in the reverse.. howell.. time to gain those pounds again

accomplished men

im currently an avid viewer of Moms, QTV-11 mom talk show. last thursday, their topic was about Takusa. ang sabi ng isang guest, i think it was PJ Abellana, na accomplished men dont want arguments at home. kung baga, no need to assert himself kasi proven na ang kaya nyang gawin.. hmmm.. makes me think, kaya ba the men i meet are masyadong assertive because wala pa silang napapatunayan sa sarili nila? POVS? :D

Alive by Frio

Tomorrow never comes
The day will end today
You come to change the truth
Forget it anyway

I"ll never be a man
So take it as i am

Make me alive
Make me suffer
Make me feel

Make me alive
Make me suffer
Make me feel

Just leave me in the rain
My life is in the drain
I"ll seek your love forever
I beg not a different game

I"ll never be a man
Embrace me as i am

Make me alive
Make me suffer
Make me feel

Make me alive
Make me suffer
Make me feel

Alive...
Alive...


i've been looking for a long time for this song's title and lyrics, thanks to mell for finding it for me :D

morning email

maganda ang gising ko dahil natupad ko ang tungkulin ko ng nagdaang gabi, bukod pa sa maganda ang teksto. maaga akong gumayak upang pumasok, ngunit nagtagal sa paghihintay mapuno ang jeep. buti na lang at hindi ako late, 657 ako naka log in. as usual routine, nagbukas ako ng emails at baka may kailangang sagutan o linawin sa mga taga seattle e maabutan ko pa sila. ang unang email na nabasa ko ay nagpalungkot sa akin. ang CTO namin sa seattle, na super ok at loves ko ay aalis na, isang linggo na lang sya sa company.. hay naku, parang ang bilis mag alisan ng mga tao dun. ano kaya ang nangyayari dun? ano kaya ang meron dun? nakakalungkot kasi isa sya sa nakakatulong sa amin para di kami maagrabyado ng mga counterparts namin dun. sabi nga ng isang kilala ko dun, masyado daw mapulitika dun. sabagay, kung dito nga nararamdaman ko ang pulitika e dun pa kaya? pero akala ko e dahil parang extension lang kami ng ofc nila at di nila nakakasama talaga kaya iba ang tingin nila sa amin. hindi pala. ganun pala talaga ang kultura dun. haaaay....

~~~~~~~

nagpapasalamat ako sa kay adeak handsomest sa pagtatala ng talata kahapon sa pagsamba :D ang ganda ng texto, akmang-akma at napapanahon :D sa Ama ang kapurihan :)

change sched

my new sched started this week, 7am-4pm na work sched ko. isa sa reason ay para makausap ang mga pasaway na nasa seattle, hehehe.. kelangan ko tuloy iadjust pagtulog ko, and activities sa gabi, or else nagbabadya na naman ang pagsumpong ng migraine ko :( haaay naku, life nga naman..

~~~~~~~

we're celebrating our 92nd anniversary today! sa Ama ang kapurihan :D pero teka, wala pa akong 92yrs old ha.. ikaw ba? :D

midnight madness

haay naku! nakaleave ako today, pero heto, pinapasok ako ng boss ko. yun kasing pasaway naming counterpart e nagtawag ng conference meeting habang andun yung COO namin to sort things out. ganda ng timing, pasalamat bukas ng 545am.. haaay naku! at least, lesson learned na sa sta cena at iba pang mahalagang okasyon e out of town ang paalam

Blue Sky

Hale

When do stars fade their light?
Does the moon and the sun make it right
For you the world maybe
Like an endless storm chasing a mystery

Is there hate in your heart?
Does your body drop and tell you to stop
Loving you or loving me
When it all falls down you just sing with me

Coz there's a blue sky waiting tomorrow
Waiting tomorrow shining and shimmering
A blue sky waiting tomorrow
Waiting tomorrow
Maybe it's all we need

Oh don't you wash away that smile
You just look out the window and see the light
It's beautiful to be alive
It's wonderful to live a life

The sun is sure to shine
For you and me for everyone
So don't be sad it's just the start
Of a new beginning in your life

Rain will keep on pouring
Some things you can't control
And while the sun seems far and hard to hold
It will unfold

There will always be a blue sky
A blue sky waiting tomorrow


~~~~~~~~

the joker in me has come back to life! :D

Ocean Deep

Love can't you see i'm alone
Can't you give this fool a chance
A little love is all i ask - a little kindness
In the night
Please don't leave me behind
No - don't tell me love is blind
A little love is all i ask and that is all

Oh love i've been searching so long
I've been searching high'n'low
A little love is all i ask - a little sadness
When you're gone
Maybe you need a friend
Only please don't let's pretend
A little love is all i ask and that is all

I wanna spread my wings - but i just can't fly
As a string of pearls and pretty boys go sailing by

Ocean deep - i'm so afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings - in my -
Solitary room
Ocean deep - will i ever find a lover
Maybe he has found another
And as i cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine i'll keep - ocean deep

Love can't you hear when i call
Can't you hear a word i say
A little love is all i ask
A little feeling when we touch
Why am i still alone?
I've got a heart without a home
A little love is all i ask - and that is all

I wanna spread my wings - but i just can't fly
As a string of pearls and pretty boys go sailing by

Ocean deep - i'm so afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings - in my -
Solitary room
Ocean deep - will i ever find a lover
Maybe he has found another
And as i cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine i'll keep - ocean deep

I'm so lonely lonely lonely...
Maybe..

my my my

not really in the mood today after what happened earlier, kaya eto, pampagana muna :D



haay, super cute nya talaga *lovesigh*

not my day.. :(

-- 730am time in ko to talk to our counterparts in seattle, but may gumagamit ng phone sa ofc ng boss ko, so nag AIM na lang ako.. sad to say, parang di pa naging maganda takbo ng usapan namin ng kausap ko :(

-- accidentally nasipa ko avr ko, at di ko nasave chat logs namin :((

parang tinatamad tuloy ako magwork.. nagmimeeting ngayon boss ko sa mga bossing sa seattle, sana naman maging ok ang usapan.. after ng nangyari kagabi, kakatakot, huhuhu :S

pagkatapos ng mahabang pag iisip...

after long contemplations, mahabang pag iisip, maraming pagsasangguni, ginawa ko na ang isang bagay na dapat ay matagal ko ng ginawa.. ewan ko ba, noon ay mas mabilis ako magdecide, ngayon ay nahihirapan ako.. pero buti na lang, naisagawa ko na at gumaan na ang dibdib ko. i can now move on and enjoy what the future holds :D

iyakin

i dont know, but lately, nagiging iyakin ako.. i dont know if nagiging masyado lang akong senti or what.. howell.. anyway, this sms i received from a friend certainly made me smile :)

bawat luha ay mahalaga
kaya siguraduhin mong bawat pagluha
ay sa karapat dapat na tao
dahil ang luha kapag tumulo
ay di na maibabalik sa mata

di tulad
ng sipon

na pwedeng masinghot pa

"The best way to cheer yourself up is to cheer someone else up." --Mark Twain

finally

finally! got a chance to talk to him last sunday, finally.

~~~~~

some of the things that i'm thankful for this event in my life:

1. my faith is strengthened and i'm more prayerful now.
2. looks on every worship service with more anticipation, lists down verses i can draw strength from.
3. conscious about how i look.

sekretarya

may 730am meeting kami and kelangang 7am e nasa ofc na. dumating ako ng 657, buti na lang at naging ok ang byahe kahit mejo matagal makasakay ng bus. kaya lang, super inaantok na ako, bukod pa sa may super namimiss.. lalo tuloy gusto ko ng umuwi

after ng meeting, nag usap usap pa kami. sabi ba naman ng isang kasama ko, "sa susunod, pag magprint ka e ipagprint mo rin kami" pertaining to the docs na pag uusapan sa meeting. e haller! nasa email naman yung doc, pinrint ko lang. feeling ata nya sekretarya nya ako, pasalamat sya at mabait boss ko, binalik man sa kanya yung sinabi nya e di sya pinahiya, hehehe :D i really love my boss :D parang naniniwala na tuloy ako sa mga wento ng ibang tao dito at baka magkaproblema nga ako sa paghandle sa kanya..

bus incident

this happened last friday nung pauwi na ako. sa bus e ayaw kong maupo sa gitna ng pangtatluhang silya, maliban na lang kung ako yung pangatlong uupo at yun ang bakanteng pwesto. nagkataong nakaupo ako sa pangtatluhang silya at may nakaupo na rin sa may bintana. may sumakay na ale, ang gusto nya ay uurong ako sa gitna at sya ang uupo sa labas, pinadaan ko sya para makapasok sa gitna dahil ako naman ang nauna at natural, first come-first serve ang upuan sa public transport. masama ata ang loob nya na di ko sya pinagbigyan, napansin kong hindi sya nag aabot ng bayad nya sa kundoktor. tatahimik na lang sana ako, kaso tinutulak nya pa ako pausog na para bang gusto nya ako ihulog. ng makarating sa toll gate, tinanong ko ang kundoktor..

me: hindi ho ba kayo kulang ng isa? (hawak hawak ko ang tiket ko, na kinuha ko pa sa pagkakasuksok sa gilid ng upuan sa harap, baka kasi kunin pa ito ng ale at angkinin e, hehehe)

kundoktor: kulang na?

me: tiket. baka ho may hindi pa nagbabayad

umiling lang ang kundoktor

me: di pa ho nagbabayad tong katabi ko

kundoktor: (napatingin sa katabi ko, obyus na minukhaan) di bale, maagang pamasko ko na lang sa kanya yun

pababa na ako nun ng bus. ang ale, di nakatiis, nagsabi ng "pakialamera" sa akin, pero di na ako lumingon pa. kung siningil man sya ng kundoktor o pinagtinginan ng ibang pasahero e wala na akong paki


~~~~~

still bc.. kahapon e start na ng 4-day half-day training namin. kanina naman e wala pang 830 ay abala na ang lahat.


~~~~~

i dont know if i made the right decision. this idea came to me when i was taking a bath early this morning. anyway, bahala na ang Ama. alam ko namang di Nya ako pababayaan.

Matthew 7:7-8

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

Mat. 7:7-8

Funny how I was thinking of this verse yesterday morning but dont know the exact verse, and this was read by our minister yesternight during our panata. Ninong Daddy talaga :D

a blessed weekend

sabado: naatasan ako ng aming pastor na pumunta sa pasig upang dumalo sa locale coordinators' meeting ng AsCII. ako ang ginawa nyang locale coordinator sa aming lokal at naatasan ding buuin ang AsCII sa aming lokal. naging maganda naman ang resulta ng pagpupulong. doon ay muli kong nakita ang 2 taong namimiss ko, ang aking daddy at ninong. sa gabi ay back lesson ng aking akay. naging matagumpay at mabiyaya ito.

linggo: tupad ni mom ng umaga kaya maaga akong nasa kapilya, sinamahan ko kasi sya upang magbihis ng saya. dahil hindi ko naman tupad sa oras na iyun ay minabuti kong mag-opisina sa kalihiman upang gawin ang ibang bagay na aking gagawin mamyang hapon. mamya kunti ay dumating ang aking tatay-tatayan na bantay kapilya at nakipagkwentuhan. pagkatapos mag-opisina ay naghugas ako ng kamay sa banyo sa loob ng opisina. nang ako ay nasa loob ng banyo ay may nagsalita sa labas. inakala kong si tatay yun at dahil di ko naintindihan ang sinabi nya ay sinabi kong "Po?" sabay labas na rin ng banyo. nagulat ako dahil hindi pala si tatay ang tao sa labas. di ko namalayang pumasok sya, at marahil ay nagulat din sya ng makita ako at ang tanging nasabi ay "Ay" at nagpatuloy sa pagbabasa sa bulletin board ng aming tanggapan. ako naman ay kinuha ang suklay at nagbalik sa banyo upang mag-ayos at maghanda sa pagsamba. paglabas ko ay wala na rin sya sa opisina. nang ako ay pumasok sa kapilya ay nakita ko syang nakikipagkwentuhan sa ibang scan na tumupad. inakala ko pa ngang isa syang diakono, hehehe. pumasok ako at nakipagwentuhan sandali sa mga kalihim na tumupad.

pagtapos ng pagsamba ay nakakwentuhan ko si wenz. pagkauwi ay nakapag-agahan pa ako kasama ng aking ina bago muling nagbihis upang manundo ng mga bata. toka kasi ng aming departamento sa panunundo para sa pnk. naging maganda naman ang resulta ng aming panunundo. nagpunta kaming muli sa kapilya pagkatapos upang magsabi sa aming pangulo ng nangyari sa aming panunundo. bago umuwi ay dumaan ako sa bahay ng pastor at binati sya sa kanyang kaarawan.

gabi ay muntik ng mahuli ang aking akay sa pagsamba. dumating sya sa ikalawang awit na. pagkatapos ng pagsamba ay sinamahan ko syang dumalo sa pulong ng buklod. maganda ang naging tema nila, "Controlling your anger before it controls you". pagkatapos ay nagpunta kami sa likod para sa kanyang pre-screening. di agad nasimulan ang pre-screening dahil nagkaroon muna ng kaunting salo-salo at kasiyahan para sa kaarawan ng aming mahal na destinado. nagkaroon din ng pagkakataon upang makapagkwentuhan sa mga maytungkulin na nandun, tulad ng aking ate at katukayo. habang naghihintay e lagi kaming nagkikita ngunit hindi ko sya pinapansin. hindi ko nga alam kung ako yung nginitian nya sa opisina ng ilaw, pero di ko pa rin yun pinansin. syempre pa, pumasa ang aking akay sa kabila ng kaba na kanyang nararamdaman.

katakawan

i have a 730am meeting today. this was scheduled but unconfirmed yesterday and was just confirmed this 6am. so i wake up the usual time, and planned to just skip breakfast to arrive on time. but my mom bought puto and suman for breakfast and i can't just resist the temptation, so instead of preparing to go to work early, i ate to my heart's content, hehehe... when i arrived at the bus stop, the bus is already loaded and i have to wait for the next bus. after getting off the bus, i still need to cross a train station to the jeepney stop. unfortunately, a train just passed and is dropping off passengers, so the intersection was blocked. good for me, i'm just around 15minutes late. and my boss just arrived a sec earlier before me, hehehe :D
