From Norfolk Genetic Information Network (Taken from Welcome to the Spin Machine by Michael Manville http://www.freezerbox.com/archive/2001/04/biotech/ http://www.freezerbox.com/ )

In 1985 Monsanto purchased G.D. Searle, the chemical company that held the patent to aspartame, the active ingredient in NutraSweet. Monsanto was apparently untroubled by aspartame's clouded past, including a 1980 FDA Board of Inquiry, comprised of three independent scientists, which confirmed that it "might induce brain tumors."

The FDA had actually banned aspartame based on this finding, only to have Searle Chairman Donald Rumsfeld (currently the Secretary of Defense) vow to "call in his markers," to get it approved.

On January 21, 1981, the day after Ronald Reagan's inauguration, Searle re-applied to the FDA for approval to use aspartame in food sweetener, and Reagan's new FDA commissioner, Arthur Hayes Hull, Jr., appointed a 5-person Scientific Commission to review the board of inquiry's decision.

It soon became clear that the panel would uphold the ban by a 3-2 decision, but Hull then installed a sixth member on the commission, and the vote became deadlocked. He then personally broke the tie in aspartame's favor. Hull later left the FDA under allegations of impropriety, served briefly as Provost at New York Medical College, and then took a position with Burston-Marsteller, the chief public relations firm for both Monsanto and GD Searle. Since that time he has never spoken publicly about aspartame.

Aspartame/NutraSweet: The History of the Aspartame Controversy

By James Turner, ESQ. Director of the National Institute of Science, Law, and Public Policy (NISLAPP)

National Institute of Science, Law, and Public Policy 1400 16th Street, NW, Suite 330, Washington, DC 20036 (202) 462-8800 Fax: (202) 265-6564 nislapp@swankin-turner.com

Timeline

December 1965-- While working on an ulcer drug, James Schlatter, a chemist at G.D. Searle, accidentally discovers aspartame, a substance that is 180 times sweeter than sugar yet has no calories.

Spring 1967-- Searle begins the safety tests on aspartame that are necessary for applying for FDA approval of food additives.

Fall 1967-- Dr. Harold Waisman, a biochemist at the University of Wisconsin, conducts aspartame safety tests on infant monkeys on behalf of the Searle Company. Of the seven monkeys that were being fed aspartame mixed with milk, one dies and five others have grand mal seizures.

November 1970-- Cyclamate, the reigning low-calorie artificial sweetener -- is pulled off the market after some scientists associate it with cancer. Questions are also raised about safety of saccharin, the only other artificial sweetener on the market, leaving the field wide open for aspartame.

December 18, 1970-- Searle Company executives lay out a "Food and Drug Sweetener Strategy' that they feel will put the FDA into a positive frame of mind about aspartame. An internal policy memo describes psychological tactics the company should use to bring the FDA into a subconscious spirit of participation" with them on aspartame and get FDA regulators into the "habit of saying, "Yes"."

Spring 1971-- Neuroscientist Dr. John Olney (whose pioneering work with monosodium glutamate was responsible for having it removed from baby foods) informs Searle that his studies show that aspartic acid (one of the ingredients of aspartame) caused holes in the brains of infant mice. One of Searle's own researchers confirmed Dr. Olney's findings in a similar study.

February 1973-- After spending tens of millions of dollars conducting safety tests, the G.D. Searle Company applies for FDA approval and submits over 100 studies they claim support aspartame's safety.

March 5, 1973-- One of the first FDA scientists to review the aspartame safety data states that "the information provided (by Searle) is inadequate to permit an evaluation of the potential toxicity of aspartame". She says in her report that in order to be certain that aspartame is safe, further clinical tests are needed.

May 1974-- Attorney, Jim Turner (consumer advocate who was instrumental in getting cyclamate taken off the market) meets with Searle representatives to discuss Dr. Olney's 1971 study which showed that aspartic acid caused holes in the brains of infant mice.

July 26, 1974-- The FDA grants aspartame its first approval for restricted use in dry foods.

August 1974-- Jim Turner and Dr. John Olney file the first objections against aspartame's approval.

March 24, 1976-- Turner and Olney's petition triggers an FDA investigation of the laboratory practices of aspartame's manufacturer, G.D. Searle. The investigation finds Searle's testing procedures shoddy, full of inaccuracies and "manipulated" test data. The investigators report they "had never seen anything as bad as Searle's testing."

January 10, 1977-- The FDA formally requests the U.S. Attorney's office to begin grand jury proceedings to investigate whether indictments should be filed against Searle for knowingly misrepresenting findings and "concealing material facts and making false statements" in aspartame safety tests. This is the first time in the FDA's history that they request a criminal investigation of a manufacturer.

January 26, 1977-- While the grand jury probe is underway, Sidley & Austin, the law firm representing Searle, begins job negotiations with the U.S. Attorney in charge of the investigation, Samuel Skinner.

March 8, 1977-- G. D. Searle hires prominent Washington insider Donald Rumsfeld as the new CEO to try to turn the beleaguered company around. A former Member of Congress and Secretary of Defense in the Ford Administration, Rumsfeld brings in several of his Washington cronies as top management.

July 1, 1977-- Samuel Skinner leaves the U.S. Attorney's office and takes a job with Searle's law firm. (see Jan. 26th)

August 1, 1977-- The Bressler Report, compiled by FDA investigators and headed by Jerome Bressler, is released. The report finds that 98 of the 196 animals died during one of Searle's studies and weren't autopsied until later dates, in some cases over one year after death. Many other errors and inconsistencies are noted. For example, a rat was reported alive, then dead, then alive, then dead again; a mass, a uterine polyp, and ovarian neoplasms were found in animals but not reported or diagnosed in Searle's reports.

December 8, 1977-- U.S. Attorney Skinner's withdrawal and resignation stalls the Searle grand jury investigation for so long that the statue of limitations on the aspartame charges runs out. The grand jury investigation is dropped.

June 1, 1979-- The FDA established a Public Board of Inquiry (PBOI) to rule on safety issues surrounding NutraSweet.

September 30, 1980-- The Public Board of Inquiry concludes NutraSweet should not be approved pending further investigations of brain tumors in animals. The board states it "has not been presented with proof of reasonable certainty that aspartame is safe for use as a food additive."

January 1981-- Donald Rumsfeld, CEO of Searle, states in a sales meeting that he is going to make a big push to get aspartame approved within the year. Rumsfeld says he will use his political pull in Washington, rather than scientific means, to make sure it gets approved.

January 21, 1981-- Ronald Reagan is sworn in as President of the United States. Reagan's transition team, which includes Donald Rumsfeld, CEO of G. D. Searle, hand picks Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes Jr. to be the new FDA Commissioner.

March, 1981-- An FDA commissioner's panel is established to review issues raised by the Public Board of Inquiry.

May 19, 1981-- Three of six in-house FDA scientists who were responsible for reviewing the brain tumor issues, Dr. Robert Condon, Dr. Satya Dubey, and Dr. Douglas Park, advise against approval of NutraSweet, stating on the record that the Searle tests are unreliable and not adequate to determine the safety of aspartame.

July 15, 1981-- In one of his first official acts, Dr. Arthur Hayes Jr., the new FDA commissioner, overrules the Public Board of Inquiry, ignores the recommendations of his own internal FDA team and approves NutraSweet for dry products. Hayes says that aspartame has been shown to be safe for its' proposed uses and says few compounds have withstood such detailed testing and repeated close scrutiny.

October 15, 1982-- The FDA announces that Searle has filed a petition that aspartame be approved as a sweetener in carbonated beverages and other liquids.

July 1, 1983-- The National Soft Drink Association (NSDA) urges the FDA to delay approval of aspartame for carbonated beverages pending further testing because aspartame is very unstable in liquid form. When liquid aspartame is stored in temperatures above 85 degrees Fahrenheit, it breaks down into DKP and formaldehyde, both of which are known toxins.

July 8, 1983-- The National Soft Drink Association drafts an objection to the final ruling which permits the use of aspartame in carbonated beverages and syrup bases and requests a hearing on the objections. The association says that Searle has not provided responsible certainty that aspartame and its' degradation products are safe for use in soft drinks.

August 8, 1983-- Consumer Attorney, Jim Turner of the Community Nutrition Institute and Dr. Woodrow Monte, Arizona State University's Director of Food Science and Nutritional Laboratories, file suit with the FDA objecting to aspartame approval based on unresolved safety issues.

September, 1983-- FDA Commissioner Hayes resigns under a cloud of controversy about his taking unauthorized rides aboard a General Foods jet. (General foods is a major customer of NutraSweet) Burson-Marsteller, Searle's public relation firm (which also represented several of NutraSweet's major users), immediately hires Hayes as senior scientific consultant.

Fall 1983-- The first carbonated beverages containing aspartame are sold for public consumption.

November 1984-- Center for Disease Control (CDC) "Evaluation of consumer complaints related to aspartame use." (summary by B. Mullarkey)

November 3, 1987-- U.S. hearing, "NutraSweet: Health and Safety Concerns," Committee on Labor and Human Resources, Senator Howard Metzenbaum, chairman.

phone dilemma

So since I've lost my phone July of last year, I have never had any desire to buy one. I'm using my old Nokia 6020. Then I dont know exactly when, I became interested in Android phones. But I want them to have both qwerty keypad and capacitive touchscreens The first one that caught my attention was a Motorola Charm but found out that this is not available in the Philippines. Then, my best friend showed me this



And now, just received a news from my mobile subscription Samsung Announces Plans for Four New Galaxy Range Smartphones.

So I'm wondering, should I get this phone even if it dont have qwerty keypad?

funny fb post

G: Whatever you give to a woman, she will make it greater. Give her sperm, she will give you a baby. Give her a house, she will give you a home. Give her groceries, she will give you a meal. Give her a smile and she will give you her heart. So if you give her crap.. Be ready to receive a ton of shit!!!!

B: Well...a woman once complained about the size of my organ...I told her that I had no idea that I would be performing in a Cathedral!

G: Oh and by the way Boy, next time u go to the Cathedral, try taking a piano with you!! Somewhat larger than a organ.....

G: Confusciuos say "Women are like Pianos... When they're not upright, they're grand!"

B: I'll take the (w)hole damn sound system!!....Drums, Geetars, etc.

common dilemma but i wont fail

I never dreamed nor wished nor want to be in this position. I understand one of my colleague's concern and appreciate it. Though I think there's a better way of reminding a sister. But I'm not taking it against you. We all have our own styles, and we dont know each other that much.

I'm now faced in a dilemma I had witnessed happening a lot to different people. But I know that the reason I witnessed them is for them to be small (or big) lessons to me. Not to be blinded by emotions and put God above all else. I wont exchange God's love for the love of man. I went through a lot to fight for my religion, had learned the difference between right and wrong, had seen the light, and I wont give it up. I wont go back to being blind..

Reason, Season or Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.

REASON
When someone is in your life for a REASON. . .
It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an
inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die.
Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered.
And now it is time to move on.

SEASON
When people come into your life for a SEASON it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real!

But, only for a season.

LIFETIME
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.

Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life.

Stop here and just SMILE. :)

Work like you don’t need the money.
Love like you’ve never been hurt.
And dance like no one is watching.

2011 - reviving my blog

After months of blog slumber, I've decided to revive my blog.

Last Jan 1, we spent the day in my cousin's house for the yearly family reunion. I was planning to buy a 1/4 kilo of lechon for our New Year's eve fest last Dec. 30 but the lechon vendor insisted that I should buy lechon on the same day it will be eaten. Unless we'll make it to paksiw. So when I see lechon on our family reunion, I gladly put some on my plate. While I was putting food on my plate, I heard my cousin comment that they forgot to microwave the lechon. I was thinking, why the need to microwave it but let it go and went to the table and eat. Later that night, my mom suffered from LBM. I woke up early the next day and needed to rush to the toilet too. I was afraid I wont be able to attend to my duties at church. But fortunately I was able to without any "emergencies" lol.

At around 10am, my brother asked if we got sick last night. He said that all of them got sick except for his youngest grandchild who didnt eat lechon. He said that he asked one of my cousins if he got sick and he didnt and he didnt also eat lechon.

Lesson learned: follow your instinct and not your stomach lol.

Have a happy new year everyone!

Issue ba?

Magiging napakalaking issue ba kung gusto ko ng bumukod? Not necessarily get married but to move and live on my own.

what a day

Earlier today, as in early, on my way to 5am panata, I got tripped by a wire near the church. Lipad ang byuti ng lola mo. Then ngayon, pag-uwi from work, while waiting to cross the street just outside our building, my phone was stolen. Napansin ko na lang na bukas na yung zipper ng bag ko pagkatawid. Something told me to check at yun na nga. Hay buhay. Funny kasi ilang beses ng muntik-muntikan akong manawakan pag kasabay ko yung certain officemate ko pag-uwi. At natuloy na nga kanina. Hay buhay

Where Are You Now

It's been months since I had updated my blog. I tried logging a few times pero nakablock na ata permanently ang site na ito sa office. Nakakatamad namang mag-blog pag 'lipas' na yung gusto mong iblog. Anyway, earlier this morning, I checked kung may way ba na magpost sa blog thru email. And voila! This is what I found out. Di pa nga lang pwede maglagay ng tags. Pag uwi na lang saka lagyan hehehe.

Anyway, here's a song na gusto ko ngayon, thanks to Jon for the lyrics

Where Are You Now
Honor Society

To my favorite teacher
Who told me never give up
To my 5th grade crush
Who I thought I really loved
To the guys I missed
And the girls we kissed
Where are you now?

To my ex-best friends
Don´t know how we grew apart
To my favorite band
And sing-alongs in my car
To the face I see
In my memories
Where are you now?

Where are you now?
Cause I´m thinking of you
You showed me how
How to live like I do
If it wasn´t for you
I would never be who I am

To my first girlfriend
I thought for sure was the one
To my last girlfriend
Sorry that I screwed it up
To the ones I loved
But didn't show it enough
Where are you now?

Where are you now?
Cause I'm thinking of you
You showed me how,
how to live like I do
If it wasnt for you
I would never be who I am.

And I'll never see those days again
And things will never be that way again
But thats just how it goes,
People change,
But I know
I wont forget you

- guitar solo -

To the ones who cared
And who were there from the start
To the love that left
and took a piece of my heart
To the few who´d swear
I´d never go anywhere
Where are you now?

Where are you now?
Cause I´m thinking of you
You showed me how
How to live like I do
If it wasn´t for you
I would never be who I am

If it wasn´t for you
I would never be who I am
If it wasn´t for you
I´d be nothing
Where are you now?

Pangyayari sa Bagong Taon

Happy New Year! Alam ko, may 10 araw na ng 2010 ang nakalipas, pero still, new year pa rin naman wehehehe. Share ko lang ang kababalaghang nangyari sa akin, o baka bunga na rin ng kunting katangahan wehehehe.

This is for those who want to get or renew their passport na hindi dumadaan sa agency. I went to DFA last Dec 29, 2009 to renew my passport. Hindi na ako dumaan sa agency since hindi naman ako nagmamadali plus mas tipid kung deretso na, and base sa mga naririnig ko e hindi naman ganun kahaba ang pila. Before I went there, I had the necessary requirements with me as stated sa website ng DFA

Facing the DFA building, don't walk on the right side bangketa kung saan maraming mga stalls ng kumukuha ng picture ID and nagxe-xerox. Dun kasi ako naglakad and ang daming mga nanghaharang na mga tao. Dere-derecho na nga lang ako at hindi ko pinapansin ang mga nanghaharang. Nung nasa may gate na ako, may isang lalake na nagpakita ng ID at taga DFA daw sya. Hiningi yung mga requirements ko at sabi na kulang daw ng thumb mark kaya pinapunta nya ako dun sa katabing tindahan para daw magpathumb mark. Sa tindahan, nag thumb mark na ako. Hiningi ang picture ko. Ang dala ko ay may white na background since yun ang nakalagay sa website nila. Dapat daw ay blue background so nagpapicture ako sa kanila for P160. After, niresibuhan ako ng P180, yung P20 daw ay para sa plastic ng passport. Pinagmatigasan ko na hindi ko kelangan ng plastic kaya P160 lang ang babayaran ko. Wala naman silang nagawa. Pagka-cut ng picture ko at ng madikit na sa forms, siningil ako ng P12 sa pagdidikit daw ng pictures. Tapos sa "Gate 2" na daw ang punta. May nakasabay ako na isang balikbayan, OFW sa middle east. Pagdating namin sa "Gate 2", agency pala yun. Base sa resibong binigay nila, sila ay ang RBC Travel & Tours na may address 215 CK SY Diamond Bldg., Libertad St., Pasay City. Nung nakuha ko ang resibo, dun na sumama ang loob ko dahil nalaman kong agency pala sila at pakiramdam ko ay naloko ako. Ang sinisingil sa akin ay P1,700, hindi pa kasama ang pagpapadala ng passport sa bahay. Pag gusto kong ipadala sa bahay yun ay magdadagdag ako ng P200.

Nung Jan 7, 2010 ay nag-appearance ako sa DFA. May nakasabay ako na first-time na kukuha ng passport. Talagang nag-agency sya at sa RBC nga. Nang makarating kami sa DFA, binilinan kami ng taga-agency na sumama sa amin na ang agency ko daw ay Yiapanda, at ang sa kasama ko ay EISEC (di ako sure kung tama ang spelling). Hindi daw RBC ang gagamitin namin. Hindi ko alam ang dahilan sa nasabing bilin, pero lumalabas na hindi rin ata sila authorized ng DFA?

Ayan, napahaba na, minsan lang naman ako mag-update ng blog e wehehehe. Maraming nangyari ng 2009 pero ang 3 sigurong pangyayari na di ko malilimutan ay ang: pagpanaw ng Ka Erdy, ang bagyong Ondoy, at ang pagpunta namin sa Bacolod.

Sa taong ito, ayun sa hula ng FB, ako ay isasakal wahahaha. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang naghihintay sa taong ito pero ngayong first quarter ng 2010 ay magiging abala ako sa mga bagay-bagay.

Sa ngayon, eto ang fave song ko, at napansin ko lang ito ng kinanta ni Judy Ann Santos sa ASAP XV kahapon

The Climb lyrics
Songwriters: Alexander, J; Mabe, J;

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

mini-update

It's been a year since I've updated my emotional status. I'm still contented. Not that I don't have any dreams or wishes, but I'm happy with my life now. I've learned to value what I have, and to try to work out for things I want to have. It's also been months since I have updated my blog. Many things have happened. Just liked to live in solitary silence for now.

Buti hindi ako nagka-Migraine

I heard this song on the radio, and can relate to it very much lol. Though now, I had moved on and the song just makes me say 'yan nga!'

Dreams

Second early morning that I dreamt of something three related to the same person. Was kinda curious and checked out the meaning of it.

Three
Three signifies life, vitality, inner strength, completion, imagination, creativity, energy, and self-exploration. Three stands for trilogy as in the past, present, and future or father, mother, and child, etc.

Got the interpretation here

An Updated Version Of Me

It's always a pleasant surprise to find out that the song I like sang by a foreigner-sounding voice is sung none other that KC Concepcion

An Updated Version Of Me
Kc Concepcion

I know I can be so awkward at times
I can be insecure
You can call me naive, you can say I'm a child
You can say I'm so immature
For me to say that I love you now
But you'll see I will prove somehow
I can be so much more

Someday there's gonna be
An updated version of me
And somehow you're gonna see
An udpated version of me

And there would be no reasons then
To tell me that I'm just a friend
I'll be a much better person, you'll see
An updated version of me

Maybe I should grow a much nicer nose
A much prettier set of eyes
Maybe I should wear more colorful clothes
If it'd help you to realize
I've never been this in love before
Never wanted to change at all
Now I'm willing to try...

Someday there's gonna be
An updated version of me
And somehow you're gonna see
An updated version of me
And there would be no reasons then
To tell me that I'm just a friend
I'll be a much better person, you'll see
An updated version of me...

Maybe then you'd realize
Or maybe you won't
If and when that happens
I'd still be the lucky one...

'Coz someday there's gonna be
An updated version of me
And somehow you're gonna see
And updated version of me
And someday you would realize
You've made awful compromise
And you'd wished that you had wath you missed
'Coz you'd miss a much better person
An updated version of me
You will see...

Who will Always Be My Baby?

Always Be My Baby
David Cook

We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine

Now you want to be free
So I'm letting you fly
Cause I know in my heart babe
Our love will never die
No!

Gusto Kong Kumanta....

these are the current 2 songs that brings smile to my face everytime i hear it on the radio


Gusto Ko Lamang sa Buhay
Itchyworms


Gusto ko lamang sa buhay ay…
Gusto ko lamang sa buhay ay murang gasolina
Gusto ko lamang sa buhay yung magswimming sa beach ng matagal na matagal
Gusto ko lamang sa buhay ay kapayapaan
Gusto ko lamang sa buhay ay ang banal na tinapay
Gusto ko lamang sa buhay ay magtravel at bumili ng souvenirs
Gusto ko lamang sa buhay ay makalasap ng kapayapaan
Gusto ko lamang sa buhay ay… konting… at lalong lalo na

Ayokong maghintay pa sa imposible
Ayoko ng mga romatikong sine
Ayoko nang umasa pa sa walang silbi

Ayokong tumawid pag pinagbabawal
Ayoko ng kapeng maraming asukal
Ayokong bumili ng underwear na mahal

[chorus]
Gusto ko lamang sa buhay ay yakapin mo ako
Gusto ko lamang sa buhay ay yakapin mo ako
Hindi naman ako milyonaryo
Basta’t araw-araw yakap mo ko
Feeling ko ang yaman yaman ko
Feeling ko ang yaman yaman ko

Ok lang kung ‘di maging presidente
Ok lang kung mawalan ng kuryente
Ok lang kung ang bumbilya’y walang sindi

Ok lang kung ketchup lamang ang ulam
Ang gulay ay hindi naman kailangan
Basta’t sa sandwich mo ako ang iyong palaman

[repeat chorus]

[bridge]
Ang dami ko pang sinabi
Tungkol sa aking sarili
Lahat ng yun ‘di na bale
Ikaw lang ang importante

Yakapin mo ako
Lunurin sa iyo
Salubungin ng ‘yong mga bisig
Dama ko ang ‘yong pag-ibig

Yakapin mo ako
Gusto ko lamang sa buhay ay yakapin mo ako

[repeat chorus]

Yakapin mo ako
Feeling ko ang yaman yaman ko
Yakapin mo ako
Feeling ko ang yaman yaman ko
Yakapin mo ako
Feeling ko ang yaman yaman ko



Antukin
Rico Blanco

Iniwan ka na ng eroplano
Ok lang baby
Wag kang magbago
Dito ka lang
Humimbing
Sa aking piling
Antukin

Kukupkupin nalang kita
Sorry wala ka nang magagawa
Mahalin mo nalang ako
Ng sobra sobra
Para patas naman tayo
Diba?

Chorus:
Sasalubungin natin ang kinabukasan
Ng walang takot at walang pangamba
Tadhana'y merong tip na makapangyarihan
Kung ayaw may dahilan
Kung gusto palaging merong paraan

Pinaiyak ka ng manghuhula
Hindi na raw tayo magkasamang tatanda
Buti nalang
Merong langit na nagtatanggol sa
Pag ibig na pursigido't matyaga

Bridge:
Long as we stand as one
Ano man ang ating makabangga
Nothing will ever break us
Wala talaga
As in wala

Coda:
Hahalikan nalang natin ang kinabukasan
Ng buong loob at yayakapin pa
Tadhana'y medyo overrated kung minsan
Kung ayaw may dahilan
Kung gusto palaging merong paraan

Gumawa nalang tayo ng paraan
Gumawa nalang tayo ng...
Baby, gumawa nalang tayo ng paraan

Push

Last Monday, I was able to watch PUsh and I wasn't a bit disappointed. I like the twists, specially how Nick had planned their way out of the predicament they're in.

Beauty and Bride and Beast

posted this in my shelfari

Since I was a child, I'm really a Beauty and the Beast fan . I like it more then Snow White and Cinderella since the two characters in this story get to know one another before falling in love with each other. Which is realistic than falling in love after waking from a kiss. After seeing Teresa Medeiros' The Bride and the Beast, I wondered if somehow, this book is the same as the fairy tale movie that I loved. So I started reading and was not disappointed. This book, which is somewhat similar to Walt Disney's Beauty and the Beast, has also its own story and twists which I think that Beauty and the Beast fans like me will love.

Inkheart

I've been meaning to write this entry since Feb 1 but my tight sched prevented me from doing so. Anyway, last Jan 30, I was able to watch Inkheart a real cute guy caught my attention. I was never for tanned guys, but Rafi Gavron , who played as one of the thieves in a book that came to life, also stole my eyes. Funny when I searched the net, he isn't really tanned after all. But I find him more attractive in his tanned look

Mother-Daughter(-sibling)...

Being close with your mom has its adantages and disadvantages.. howell.. that's life...

Love Bug

Love Bug
Jonas Brothers


Called her for the first time yesterday
Finally found the missing part of me
Felt so close, but you were so far away
Left me without anything to say

Now I'm speechless,
over the egde just
Breathless,
I never thought
That I'd catch
This love bug again
Hopeless,
Head over heels,
In the moment,
I'd never thought
That I'd get hit by
This love bug again

I can't get your smile out of my mind
(i can't get you out of my mind)
I think about your eyes all the time
Your beautiful, but you don't even try
(you don't even, don't even try)
Modesty is just so hard to find

Now I'm speechless,
over the egde just
Breathless,
I never thought
That I'd catch
This love bug again
Hopeless,
Head over heels,
In the moment,
I'd never thought
That I'd get hit by
This love bug again

Kissed her for the first time yesterday
Everything I wish that it would be
Suddenly, I forgot how to speak
Hopeless, Breathless, Baby can't you..see

Now I'm!

Now I'm speechless,
over the egde just
Breathless,
I never thought
That I'd catch
This love bug again
Now I'm hopeless,
Head over heels,
In the moment,
I'd never thought
That I'd get hit by
This love bug again

LOVE BUG, AGAIN

Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

weather weather lang yan

i think due to the effects of global warming, ibang iba na ang weather ngayon. last december and early this month, super lamig ng temperature. umaabot ng 17 degrees ang lowest in metro manila alone. sa baguio e nag 9 degrees sila. pero di pa tapos ang january ay uminit ulet, around 32 degrees. then kahapon, ang lamig ng umaga, mainit sa tanghali at ang lamig sa gabi. no wonder marami ang nagkakasakit dahil sa pabago bagong weather, o temperature for that matter. ang kinatatakot ko lang, baka sa summer e umabot ng 40 degrees, wag naman sana. matatag ako sa lamig pero madali ako manghina sa init, huhuhu... sana lang, ok pa rin ang weather, o temperature pagdating ng summer

Happy Reading at 2009

After 9 days, allow me to greet you a Happy New Year 2009. Huli man daw at magaling, huli pa rin, hehehe. Last Dec 30, my mom and I had the chance to watch Ang Tanging Ina Nyong Lahat and Dayo, 2 of the 8 (tama ba) MMFF entries. I also finished reading the four (e-)books of the Twilight saga, and I'm planning to buy them as soon as they're available in bookstores. Maganda ang story, and touching specially for me na isang hopeless romantic hehehe. Since the year closed and started with me reading (e-)books, heto ako ngayon, mega download na ng e-books. Mukhang I'll be into reading again this year. I had already finished reading Sophie Kinsella's Remember Me, and it's ok. But I still like her Undomesticated Goddess the best among her works.

I'm proud to say that these readings has enriched my English vocabulary. Kaya may maganda ring nangyari, aside sa nainspire ako hehehe. Some of the English words I encountered are:

chagrin
exuberant
innocuous

and others I forgot hehehe.

I'll be reading the vampire series of Lynsay Sands. Hmmm.. mukhang I'm into vampire reading ah hehehe. Di naman siguro ako magiging vampire nito sa puyat hehehe.

Sweet Surprise

first time i heard this song was in UKG, where they sang it live, and as always, i liked it.. kelan kaya ang sweetest surprise ng buhay ko?

The Sweetest Surprise
Michael Learns to Rock

I never knew life could be like this
Never thought that I would be
the one that you would kiss
I never knew love could be so rough
But now I've found the real thing
I can't get enough

The sweetest surprise caught me tonight
Right there in your eyes while I was kissing you
So don't say that you don't love
Everything you dream of could be here
uh~uh

I used to wish, I used to dream
But now I'm living my heart's wildest fantasy
So I began to believe
Because our love is there for everyone to see


The sweetest surprise caught me tonight
Right there in your eyes while I was kissing you
So don't say that you don't love
Everything you dream of could be here
uh~uh

On and on where good things never end
woo~hoo
On and on where we never pretend
ah yeah

The sweetest surprise caught me tonight
Right there in your eyes while I was kissing you
So don't say that you don't love
Everything you dream of could be here
uh~uh
So don't say that you don't love
Everything you dream of could be here

I'm Yours.. who?

i heard this song from a colleague at church, and since then, gusto ko ng malaman ang lyrics at title nya :)


Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

Send "I'm Yours" Ringtone to Cell Phone
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment, maybe sing with me
All - ah peaceful melody
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Scooch on closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
Please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This is out fate, I'm yours

My Name is Bond...

Lahat tayo minsan sa ating buhay
Ay nangarap maging isang superhero
Makalipad umabot hanggang langit
At magtaglay ng lakas, bilis, galing, at talino

Refrain:
Ngunit hindi ito madali
Kadalasan mayt sukli
Di bat ang lahat ay may kapalit

Chorus:
Gusto mo ba talaga maging superhero
Handa ka bang magiba ng pagkatao

Lahat tau minsan ay nangarap
Na makamit ang tunay at wagas na pagibig

Pinapiral ang puso bago ang isipan

Repeat Refrain & Chorus

gastro chorva

haaaay.. last saturday, around 1122am (as per my cp time), sinumpong ako ng matinding sakit ng tyan. nagulat ako kasi wala naman akong nakaing kakaiba, and yung sakit nya ay hindi naman yung tipong tinatawag ka ni mang doro. mahapdi sya. di nawala nung kumain kami ng lunch. di ako nakatulog ng maayos ng hapon, at pagkagising ko ay tinatawag na ako ni mang doro, hilong hilo ako at nasusuka. kinabahan ako. inisip ko na baka ang sakit ng tyan ko ay appendicitis na. pumunta agad kami sa pinakamalapit na ospital (na parang clinic lang) at dun ko nalaman na gastro enteritis pala. dati ko na syang sakit, pero kakaiba kasi ang sakit ngayon. ang mas masaklap, mukhang ewan yung tumingin sa aking doctor, parang iooverdose ata ako ng gamot. ngayon, sa Awa ng Dios ay mas mabuti buti na ang aking pakiramdam. naalala ko ang binigay sa aking gamot noong ako'y nagpatingin at yun ang iniinom ko ngayon. may kamahalan nga lang, P100 isa. maggegeneric na ako sa susunod hehehe

Paano Na Kaya by Bugoy

i'm not a pda watcher. there's just one episode na nakita ko wherein this guy is jogging while singing. and the more the pinabilisan sa kanya ang pagjajog, lalo namang gumanda boses nya, kaya bilib! sya tuloy yung naging favorite ko sa pda, kahit di ko pa alam name nya that time hehehe. now here's a song na composed and sung by him

Paano Na Kaya
by Bugoy

Paano nga ba napasukan ang gusot na ito?
Di naman akalaing magbabago
Ang pagtingin sa'yo ooooh...

Mula nang makilala ka umikot ang mundo ko
Di na kayang ilihim at itago
Ang nararamdamang ito ooooh...

Paano na kaya?
Di sinasadya
Di kayang magtapat ang puso ko
Bakit sa dinami-rami ng kaibigan ko
Ikaw pa?

Paano na kaya?
Di sinasadya
Ba't nahihiya ang puso ko
Hirap nang umibig sa isang kaibigan
Di masabi ang nararamdaman

Paano na kaya?

Kung malaman ang damdamin at di mo tanggapin
Di ko yata matitiis mawala ka
Kahit isang saglit man lang ooooh...

Paano na kaya?
Di sinasadya
Di kayang magtapat ang puso ko
Bakit sa dinami-rami ng kaibigan ko
Ikaw pa?

Paano na kaya?
Di sinasadya
Ba't nahihiya ang puso ko
Hirap nang umibig sa isang kaibigan
Di masabi ang nararamdaman

Paano na kaya?

At kung magkataong ito'y malaman mo
Sana naman tanggapin mo ooooh...

Bakit sa dinami-rami ng kaibigan ko
Ikaw pa?

Paano na kaya?
Di sinasadya
Ba't nahihiya ang puso ko
Hirap nang umibig sa isang kaibigan
At baka hindi maintindihan

Paano na kaya?

Puso

Kung harangan ka man
Sumalakay man mga bantay
Lahat kami Maghihintay
Habol, habol!

Dehado kung dehado
Para san pang mga galos mo
Kung titiklop ka lang

Matalo kung matalo
Huwag ka sanang magkakamaling
Sumuko na lang

Lalung huwag kang papipiga
Kumpiyansa lang bawat bangga

Kumaripas ka na
Humanda ka na sa paglipad
Pakpak natiy ilalantad

Chorus:
Ang puso
Iaalay
Sa laban

Migraine by Moonstar 88

it's been a while since i listened to the radio (i feel so ancient wehehehe) anyways, i heard this song when i used to watch the koreanovela "Witch Yoohee" which was aired in GMA 7



Migraine
by Moonstar88

Oo nga pala, hindi nga pala tayo
Hanggang dito lang ako, nangangarap na mapa-sayo
Hindi sinasadya
Hahanapin pa ang lugar ko
Asan nga ba ako? andiyan pa ba sa iyo?

Nahihilo, nalilito
Asan ba ko sayo? asan ba ko sayo?

Naiinip na ako, naghihintay sayo
Masakit na ang ulo, kailangan bang lumuhod?
Gusto ko lang naman, yung totoo
Yung tipong ang sagot
Ay di rin isang tanong

Nahihilo, nalilito
Asan ba ko sayo? asan ba ko sayo?
Nahihilo, nalilito
Asan ba ko sayo? asan ba ko sayo?

Dahil, di na makatulog
Dahil di na makakain
Dahil di na makatawa
Dahil, di na

Oo nga pala, hindi nga pala tayo
Hanggang dito lang ako

Nahihilo, nalilito
Asan ba ko sayo? asan ba ko sayo?
Nahihilo, nalilito
Asan ba ko sayo? Aasa ba ko sayo?
Nahihilo..
Nalilito..

anybody who has the lyrics of "Show Me Your Love" by Dalkoms?

a very blessed day

yesterday, october 9, 2008, thursday, was a fruitful day. with the help of a friend, i was able to call and talk to my long lost first love of 15 years ago whom i was wondering how he is all these years. we lost contact after 98 or 99. he's now married, with a 6-yr old kid. i'm very happy that after these years, he still remembers me, and hopefully, we'll have a steady communication.

also yesterday, i went to an interview, and in the many companies that i went to, this company really suits me. the atmosphere is like bfm, but hopefully, the admin is much better. i hope that my search for a "perfect job in a perfect company" would come to an end.

is this an early birthday gift for me? i hope that i can also receive the gift that i had been praying for all these years. with God's help.

torn between two....

haaaaayyy....




sana sa hinahaba haba ng panahon, sya ang makatuluyan ko *glee*

bagyo, ulan, baha

papunta akong makati kahapon sa isang interview ng di kawasa'y bumuhos ang super lakas na ulan. zero visibility na nga, buti na lang at di ako ang nagmamaneho. pagdating sa bababaan ko ay pwede ng magswimming sa taas ng baha. hanggang tuhod ang baha at ang ibang mga sasakyan ay nagsisibalikan na dahil di na sia makakadaan pa. awa ng Dios, nakarating naman ako ng payapa, at ang tanging basa lang ay ang aking sapatos at paa (nakasandals naman kasi ako). inabot nga lang ng kulang kulang 3 oras ang biyahe ko na dapat sana'y wala pang isang oras. dumating ako ng pasado alas-tres sa aking pupuntahan na kung saan alas-dos ang aming usapan.

well, ganito talaga ang buhay. nakauwi naman ako ng matiwasay kahit na mejo mahirap sumakay. sayang nga lang, di ko dala ang camera ko para nakunan ko sana ng larawan ang mga kalyeng aming nadaanan.

i'll take a breath now

...inhale....exhale... hay... it's been a such a long time since i last posted here. primarily because i worked in a company that i thought was ok, but, but but... well... i would have posted lots of rants here before, but here are the scenarios:

• in the main office, we have no own working stations. all computers (which are less than 10) are shared and on a first-come first-served basis


• all sites visited are monitored


• even though there are enough workstations in my first client's site, not all have internet connection, and therefore is not conducive to blogging


• blogger is blocked in my second client's site


• with my last client, blogging, or other browsing and net surfing not work related can be considered luxury, since i have a very tight, unmovable, non-negotiable deadline and no manpower resources

to say the least, my work situation is draining me, killing me slowly to be exact, so last july 23, 2008, i tendered my resignation effective last day of August. funny thing was, i submitted my resignation to my boss around 330pm, and after a couple of hours, i received an email from our hr staff saying that my regularization paper is ready for pick-up hehehe.

so now, i'm one of those millions of unemployed looking for work, or somebody good looking who'll adopt me hehehe

life... love... brings color, and at the same time, confusion... now, i'm feeling lonely... or maybe i'm a nuisance to people i asked help from... people i think could do something for my case... i'm glad that still, there are my friends, who, even if i do something foolish, is still there by my side. whether to support me, or to wake me up, the fact remains that they never left me.


~~~~~~

now i'm in the mood of hibernating again...

on having babies

case 1: 26 yr old mom, muntik ng mamatay ang baby sa tyan ng mommy dahil napulupot ang umbilical cord, humina ang heartbeat ng baby at naagapan

case 2: s26-27 yr old mom, same case sa case 1, kaso di naagapan

case 3: 36 yr old mom, nagkaroon ng myoma sa womb while having the baby, nagkaroon ng slight physical defect ang baby na ngayon ay undergoing corrective meaasures

case 4: 30 something mom, gave birth to a hyperlexic baby


hmmm... it seems i should have a baby now or dont have it anymore.. pano na yung plan ko na 1 yr after pa ng kasal saka magbaby para maenjoy muna naming mag-asawa ang company na kaming 2 lang?

One Love

by Acel Bisa

Higher than the sky above you
Clearer than blue
Brighter than the rays of sunshine
Warmer than what you feel
More than all the wonders you see
It's the most wonderful thing

Brighter than the living colors of flowers you see
Sweeter than the touch of water
Flowing from the mountain spring
More than all the wonders you see
It's the most wonderful thing

One love...
I love you so
Love is the beautiful one
I love you so
Love is the beautiful one
All we need is love
Real love

Marvel at the sight of greenfields
Amazingly seen
Watch the colors of the rainbow
It's a miracle you see
More than all the wonders can be
But there's more than that

One Love...
I love you so
Love is the beautiful one

Greater than what you can feel
More than what you ever dreamed
This is better than your everything
One love...

I love you so
Love is the beautiful one

All we need is love
One love

Google Logos

naaaliw ako sa mga iba't ibang logo ng google sa tuwing may mga okasyon. isa na ang larawang ito na kuha sa logo nila kahapon, para sa 50th year ng lego :)

SIMULA

i've been looking for the title of this song last year pa. lagi itong pinatutugtog sa 90.7 loveradio pero di naman sinasabi ang title. di ko rin makita sa google noon, pero heto na sya ngayon :D

(Mojo Fly)


Naaalala ko
Noong umagang nagtagpo
Pink pa nga ang suot mo

Maaga pa lang sabik na
Makilala ang binibida
Ng lahat mula kanina

Sa wakas
Dumating ka na
Naghintay maipakilala
Magugustuhan nga ba kita

CHORUS
Maaari ako'y yayain
Kumain o magkape
Nais na ika'y masarili

Gusto sanang makisabay
Minsan sa iyo pauwi
Nais na ika'y makatabi

Naaalala ko
Nagpahatid ng pilit sayo
Matapos ang gig ng banda mo

Mabuti naman
Nasunod ang aking hiling
Ang tangi kong dalangin
Sana ako'y gusto mo rin

CHORUS
Maaari ako'y yayain
Kumain o magkape
Nais na ika'y masarili
Maaari ka bang unahan
Magtapat ng katotohanan
Tayo'y 'di lang magkaibigan

Kay sarap balikan
Kay sarap ulit-ulitin
Tayo na't sariwain
Simula ng walang hanggan

Sabihin Mo Na

sung by Top Suzara

Gusto kong magpaliwanag sa iyo
Ngunit ‘di kinakausap
Di ko inasahang diringgin mo
Nakatingala sa ulap

Alam kong nasaktan na naman kita
Ngunit ‘di ko naman sinasadya
Hinding-hindi na mauulit sinta
Sana’y maniwala ka

[chorus]
Sabihin mo na
Kung anong gusto mo
Kahit ano’y gagawin
Para lamang sa ‘yo
Sabihin mo na
Papaano mo mapapatawad

Ilang araw ng hindi pinapansin
Ilang araw pang lilipas
Nakatanga sa harapan ng salamin
Naghihintay ng bawat bukas

Lahat naman tayo’y nagkakamali
Sinong ‘di magsasala
Ngunit papaano babawi sa pagkakamali
Yun ang mahalaga

[repeat chorus]

[bridge]
Patawarin mo sana sinta
‘Di ko sinasadya

[repeat chorus]

kakantahin kaya nya sa akin ito?

late new year post

havent made a year-ender post for 2007, and started the year 2008 with a very busy sched. well, i'll try to post what happened during the past month (yes, one month has gone by since i last updated this blog!)

i ended the year 2007 by giving pen memorabilias to my 4 special frends at church. i also cooked pasta as one of the dish to be eaten during the media noche, a request made by my mom.

january 1, 2008 saw me and my mom bonding at Festival Mall. we were craving for a garden salad and went to Wendy's to have their salad bar, but unfortunately, Wendy's in the said mall dont have it, so we just settled for their prepared vegetable salad.

january 2, 2008, the first working day of the year, i was tasked to go to one of our clients. before i left the house, my mom is already not feeling well, and this resulted from her being confined in the hospital on the said day. she stayed in the hospital till january 5 due to infectious diarrhea.

fortunately, she's now recovered and back to her old self. i just wish that this year will go on peaceful, harmonious, and hopefully, eventful, with my one wish granted...

are u mobile?

wala namang nangyaring kakaiba sa exit interview, nabasa ata nya ang mga naiisip kong gawin hehehe. anyways, natawa naman ako dito.

National Sales Manager to Area Manager: "choppy ka... choppy ka... are you mobile?" - ano raw?

excerpt from aajao

BAKIT DI' TOTOHANIN

Performed by: Carol Banawa


Pag ako'y binibiro mo
Ang lahat ng 'yan
Sa aki'y totoo
Mga titig mo
Ay tumutunaw sa puso ko

Pag ako'y nasa tabi mo
Ay kay lakas ng kaba sa dibdib ko
Ang hiling ko lang
Sana'y malaman na ang puso ko'y
Sawa na sa biruan


Chorus:

Bakit di na lang totohanin ang lahat
Ang kailangan ko'y paglingap
Dahil habang tumatagal
Ay lalo kong natututunang
Magmahal, baka masaktan lang

Pag ako'y nasa tabi mo
Ay kay lakas ng kaba sa dibdib ko

Sana'y malaman na ang puso ko'y
Sawa na sa biruan


Chorus:

Bakit di na lang totohanin ang lahat
Ang kailangan ko'y paglingap
Dahil habang tumatagal
Ay lalo kong natututunang
Magmahal, baka masaktan lang

Umaasa sa 'yo ang puso't damdamin
Pangarap ko ay mapansin,
Bakit di na lang totohanin ang lahat
Ang kailangan ko'y paglingap
Dahil habang tumatagal
Ay lalo kong natututunang
Magmahal...

Bakit di na lang totohanin ang lahat
Ang kailangan ko'y paglingap
Dahil habang tumatagal
Ay lalo kong natututunang
Magmahal, baka masaktan lang.....

boka-vulary

one of my early morning habits is to listen to 90.7 LoveRadio's Tambalan ng Balasubas at Balahura. aside from the points of views shared, here are two words (or three hehehe) that i learned from the program...

discombobulating - from discombobulate, meaning cause to be confused emotionally

rumble strips - are grooves or rows of raised pavement markers placed perpendicular to the direction of travel to alert inattentive drivers

ofc politics

office politics i can stand
as long as it's not run by senseless and brainless monkeys

paranoid sioo

natawa ako ng ginamit to ni jc. at ito ngayon ang itsura ni sioo, hehehe. sabi ni r, sumama daw ako sa pag-interview ng applicants. tapos after 40mins na naglabas ng notice si ada, binawi nya (ni ada) at sabi e wag na daw akong sumama. nireply ko na pwede akong sumama at di naman ako loaded. ngayon e sinabi ni ada na wag na daw akong sumama sabi ni sioo. kundi ba naman praning e, ano kayang tawag dun hehehe

can you name that tune?

patulong naman kung anong title ng kantang ito, at kung sino ang kumanta. lagi kong naririnig ito sa 90.7 love radio kaso di naman sinasabi ang title :(


gusto sanang makasabay
nais na ika'y makatabi

mabuti naman nasunod aking hiling
tangi kong dalangin
sana ako'y gusto mo rin

maaari akoy yayain kumain o magkape
nais na ikay masarili
maaari ka bang unahan
magtapat ng katotohan
tayo'y di lang magkaibigan

kay sarap balikan
kay sarap ulit ulitn

simula ng walang hanggan

boses struck

naaliw ako, grabe! nakausap ko si jc first time, and hopefully not the last time, and ang cute ng boses nya! heheheh :D tama nga si adj, mejo hawig sa boses ni sam milby, pero for me e mas cute ang boses nya :D

lucky me

Last Thursday, November 29, Trillanes, together with his other supporters, went to Manila Peninsula to cool down (accdg to Going Bulilit, hehehe). That incident prompted our COO to suspend work just right after lunch. so of I went, and watched "Enchanted" at Festival Mall. The movie was cool, my mom wanted to watch it after I told her the story. I'm hoping I can grab a DVD of it, or better, if we can still catch it in theaters.


~~~~~~~~~

As was the tradition in our company, every last working day of the month, they held a lunch party. This we treat as a substitute to the 1k food allowance they removed. Usually, we have 4 viands, rice, and soft drinks. These viands may consist of 1 spaghetti noodles. But last Thursday, they only have 2 viands for us, and 1 of this is the rubber-like lumpiang shanghai. Lucky for me I have brought my lunch baon.

~~~~~~

Reporters covering the Manila Peninsula incident was also handcuffed using straws and taken into custody for identity verification. This also resulted in a one-instance curfew from 12mn to 5am. Now, these media men are the ones suing those who arrested them. Well, life's like that. Gantihan lang yan, hehehe

happy 16th birthday!

today marks my 16th birthday! and He has already answered one of my prayer =) i'm really excited coz i know more good things are in store :D


~~~~~~~~~

di ko alam kung bakit nangangasim pa rin ang tyan ko. may iniinom pa rin akong gamot (Omeprazole), one month kasi ang reseta sa akin

one weak week

i was sick for 1 week last week, and i still don't know what caused it. i'm now well, but feeling very thin. and i got to take it easy eating, even if i want to gain weight again, it might cause other problems.

~~~~~~~

as the saying goes, there are good things that'll come out of something bad. and this ain't no exception. this week made me realize things and i hope that the things i realized i can use in my everyday struggles.


~~~~~~

i was browsing through friendster and found the pic i'm looking for. i wasn't expecting to miss him but i suddenly did :( i'm moving away from him now, giving myself space before i'll be hurt more than i can handle.

eye, beautiful mata ni mommy :)

my mom had her eye operation for cataract removal. the operation was called lens replacement, done by Dr. Emmanuel Eusebio (Erap's eye doctor). wala akong commission sa pagpa-plug ha, hehehe :D her left eye was operated last oct. 13, then after a week, her right eye was operated last oct 19. all in all, the operation was successful, salamat sa Dios :) she now has a 20-20 vision, but still needs reading glasses for reading (syempre, hehehe). luckily, naagapan yung eyes nya. sabi ng doctor, muntik na syang magka-glaucoma. pero dahil sa operation, nacorrect na din ito :)

beerday westyun

since it's my birthday (well, this is my birthday post, so bear with me, hehehe :D), i'll post a question and need your pov's


bisperas ng birthday ko ang parang "day gift" sa akin, hehehe. 2hrs kaming nagbonding, with a mild panunukso from our p.d. this wasn't the first 2-hr bonding we had, and at both times, parang ayaw nyang matapos ito. (or yun lang pakiramdam ko?)

my question is.... what makes a guy decide to court a girl? may nagsasabing a guy needs signs or encouragement from a girl before he courts her. pero i think i had given such signals (or kulang pa ba? or masyadong sumobra?). for instance, he used to ask me abt my lovelife. then i remembered that i have a pic of him in my cell, so i asked him if he wants to see my bf, and showed his pic, hehehe. i constantly call him "magandang lalake from iloilo south" which i know makes him smile. i also gave him a wallpaper pic of his "dada". when this was seen by a common friend, he teased us. hmmm.. pwede bang palakad sa yo, common frend? hehehe.. anyways, i really enjoy his company, and i think he enjoys my company too. i just wish we'll have more chance to bond and get to know each other better.

Pangarap Ko Ang Ibigin Ka

sung by Regine Velasquez

Tuwing ikaw ay nariyan
Sabay kong nadarama ang kaba at ligaya
Ang 'yong tinig wari ko'y di marinig
'Pagkat namamangha 'pag kausap ka

Kaya nais kong malaman mo
Ang sinisigaw nitong aking puso

Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka
At sa habang panahon, ikaw ay makasama
Ikaw na lang ang siyang kulang sa buhay kong ito
Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka

Ikaw kaya ay nais din
Akong makapiling at ibigin

O kay sarap namang isipin
Na tayong dalawa ay iisa ang damdamin
Aking hinihiling na sabihin mo
Ang dinadama ng 'yong puso

Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka
At sa habang panahon, ikaw ay makasama
Ikaw na lang ang siyang kulang sa buhay kong ito
Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka

O kay tagal ko nang naghihintay
Na sa akin ay mag-aalay
Ng pag-ibig na tunay at di magwawakas

Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka
At sa habang panahon, ikaw ay makasama
Ikaw na lang ang siyang kulang sa buhay kong ito
Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka

Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka
At sa habang panahon, ikaw ay makasama
Ikaw na lang ang siyang kulang sa buhay kong ito
Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka

ok, so i liked you before, but that was before. your charms don't work for me anymore, so buzz off.

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

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?

Why the secrecy? You have been asking me before to print something or what not, so I'm a bit surprised by this peculiar behavior of yours.

Dear Miss Gemma,



I'm sorry that I forgot about that rule. Nevertheless, that won't happen again.

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

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..
