super saya at kilig ng EB last friday. medyo bitin lang pero not bad considering na unang EB yun ng grupo ;)
pagkauwi e di ako makatulog. mukhang super hyper at gising pa ang utak ko. di ko alam kung dahil sa frapp na nainom ko courtesy of daddy chair na dati naman ay walang epekto sa akin, o may nag-iisip sa akin, charing! hehehe..wish ko lang :D
as usual, my body clock woke me up at 6am the next day, naghanda na sa pagdalo sa Tanging Pagtitipon ng hapong iyon. kelangang umalis ng medyo maaga dahil di ko kabisado ang area, plus magmimit kami ni handsomest for lunch (na super late ng dumating, hmpf! :p) para sabay na ring dumalo sa pagtitipon.
after ng pagtitipon, di natuloy ang bestfrend ko na dapat ay pupunta sa haus so pagkauwi ay nagpahinga, at naghanda para sa pulong ng kalihiman sa gabi.
linggo: gumising ng maaga para dumalo sa pagsamba, naidlip sandali at sinamahang mamalengke si mommy, sa hapon naman balik kapilya para tumupad.
kanina, woke up at 6am para maghanda na papasok. ang unang bungad sa akin ng mommy ko ay bad news.. muntik na pala kaming looban kagabi. ngayon ay di ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong gawin.. nguni't nananampalataya akong patuloy Nya kaming iingatan.

kurot sa puso..
usapan kaninang lunch..
opismeyt 1: ano ulam mo?
opismeyt 2: embutido na me sawsawang atsara saka itlog na maalat.. (marami pang ibang ulam..)
opismeyt 1: ang dami naman nyan.. e ano dessert mo?
opismeyt 2: leche flan saka ice cream.. kakasawa nga e, sabi ko sana magbuko-pandan man lang saka fruit shake..
opismeyt 3: ayos ah, kakagutom yang usapan nyo
opismeyt 1: nagpapagutom lang kami (sabay tawanan)
hindi ko maiwasang maalaala si erwin, yan kasi ang isa sa paborito nyang gawin noon, itanong kung ano ang ulam ko at dadagdagan ng kung ano-ano bago sya kumain..hindi ko alam kung bakit may kumurot pa rin sa puso ko..
pagtapos ng lunch, naalala kong sumilip sa frendster, matagal ko ng balak gawin ito pero nakakalimutan ko lang. ang dami ko na ngang pending frendster request at private messages. me inapprove din akong isang testi. gumawa rin ako ng testi para sa dati kong kasama sa pdi. sa pagbabrowse sa frendslist ko, nakita ko ang picture ng pinakamamahal nya, naisipan kong iyun ay tingnan. nakita kong may pangalawang ginawa syang testi para dito, 100% cute.
pinakiramdaman ko ang sarili ko. nagseselos ba ako? ang totoo, hindi ko alam. ang alam ko lang, may komunikasyon pa rin sila pagkatapos ng nangyari sa amin at ika nga ay good for him. ano kaya ang mangyayari sa huwebes? sa totoo lang, ang inaabangan ko na lang ay kung ano ang gagawin ng true love nya. sayang nga at bawal ang ym dito sa ofc, gusto ko sanang makausap ang true love nya pero marahil ay itinulot na rin ng Ama na wag muna kaming magkausap.
nakamove on na nga ba ako? sa tingin ko, oo. nanumbalik na ang aking interes sa guys at sa katunayan ay 2 ang crushes ko ngayon. good sign for me din yun dahil maiiwasan kong dibdibin ang crushes ko dahil 2 nga sila at syempre, maiiwasan ko ring mahulog sa kanila na baka maging one-sided lang. wala na rin akong pakialam sa kung ano ang nangyayari sa kanya. tanggap ko na ang kung ano mang nangyari sa amin at hindi ako nagsisisi sa mga naging desisyon ko. bagamat hindi ako sang-ayon ay naiintindihan ko sya at napatawad ko na rin sya. lesson learned na lang ang lahat ng iyon para hindi maulit sa ibang pagkakataon. hindi ko lang alam kung ano ang magiging reaksyon ko pag nagkita kami pero ipinauubaya ko na sa Ama ang lahat.

road accidents
yesterday, as my mom was crossing the street on her way to church, a motorcycle suddenly hit her from behind. lucky for us, me naglakas loob na lumapit para tulungan ang aking ina. buti at hindi rin tinakasan ng nakabundol sa kanya ang obligasyon. at ang higit na ipinagpapasalamat ko ay hindi naman sya nabalian ng buto, salamat sa Ama. maliban sa gasgas at pasa at shock, sabi ng doktor ay wala namang ibang naging pinsala sa kanya. sana ay magtuloy-tuloy na ang kanyang paggaling. naging daan din ang nangyari upang dalawin kami ng aking kapatid sa bago naming bahay.
kaninang umaga, sa aking pagpasok sa opisina ay nakabunggo naman ang dyip na aking sinasakyan ng isa pang sasakyan. buti na lang at hindi naman malakas, wala naman daw naging pinsala dun sa sasakyan kaya di rin kami nagtagal. kundi siguradong late ako, unang late ko simula ng ako'y pumasok dito.
ngayon, hindi ko alam kung bakit di pa rin naaalis ang aking kaba. naaalala ko noong ako'y nagmamaneho at naaksidente, at ang nangyari sa aking ina, at ang nangyari kaninang umaga, na mild lamang pero di ko alam kung bakit ganito ang naging impact sa akin...

You've Made Me Stronger
i walked up this morning with this song in my head...
You've Made Me Stronger
by Regine Velasquez
Is it hard to believe I?m okay
After all, it?s been awhile
Since you walked away
I?m way past crying
Over you finding someone new
You turned my days into nights (days into nights)
But now I see the light
And this maybe a big surprise to you
cause you made me stronger
By breaking my heart
You ended my life
And made a better one start
You taught me everything
From falling in love
To letting go of a lie
Yes, you made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye
If you rather believe I?m not over you
Go ahead
There?s nothing wrong with making believe
I know
Cuz I used to pretend you?d come back to me
But time has been such a friend
Brought me to my senses again
And I have you to thanked (I have you to thanked)
For setting me free (for setting me free)
Cuz you?ve made me stronger
By breaking my heart
You ended my life
And made a better one start
You taught me everything
From falling in love
To letting go of a lie
Yes, you?ve made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye
Think again
Don?t feel so sorry for me, my friend
Oh, don?t you know
I?m not the one who lose at end (I?m not the one)
Cuz you?ve made me stronger
By breaking my heart
You ended my life
And made a better one start
You taught me everything
From falling in love
To letting go of a lie
Yes, you?ve made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye
You ended my life
And made a better one start
You taught me everything
From falling in love
To letting go of a lie
Yes, you?ve made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye, goodbye
You?ve made me stronger

Quote for the Day
"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind.....let it be something good."

some Nice Thoughts To Ponder sent by my kuya
When someone lies to you it teaches you that things are not always as they seem. The truth is often far
beneath the surface. Look beyond the masks people wear if you want to know their heart. And remove your own masks to let people know yours.
When someone steals from you it teaches you that nothing is forever. Always appreciate what you have, for you never know when you might lose it. And never, ever take your friends and family for granted because today is the only guarantee you have.
When someone inflicts an injury upon you it teaches you that the human state is a fragile one. Protect and take care of your body as best you can, it's the only thing you are sure to have for as long as you live.
When someone mocks you it teaches you that no two people are alike. When you encounter people who are different from you, don't judge them by how they look or act; instead base your opinion on the contents of their heart.
When someone breaks your heart it teaches you that loving someone does not always mean that person will love you back. But don't turn your back on love because when you find the right person, the joy that one person brings will make up for all the past hurts put together. Times ten.
When someone holds a grudge against you it teaches you that everyone makes mistakes. When you are wronged, the most virtuous thing you can do is forgive the offender without pretense. Forgiving those who have hurt us is the most difficult and courageous thing Man can do.
When a loved one is unfaithful to you it teaches you that resisting temptation is Man's greatest challenge. Be vigilant in your resistance against all temptation. By doing so you will be rewarded with an enduring sense of satisfaction far greater than the temporary pleasure by which you were tempted.
When someone cheats you, it teaches you that greed is the root of all evil. Aspire to make your dreams come true, no matter how lofty they may be. Do not feel guilty about your success, but never let an obsession with achieving your goals lead you to engage in malevolent activities.
When someone ridicules you it teaches you that nobody is perfect. Accept people for their merits and be tolerant of their flaws. Do not ever reject someone for imperfections over which they have no control.

from my kuya..
UNFORGIVENESS
Nothing is as painful,
As unforgiveness to the soul;
A heart that's torn asunder,
With forgiveness becomes whole.
A single kind word spoken
Means more than countless words;
The three words, "I forgive you,"
Are all that need be heard.
To a soul that has been wounded,
Like a healing, cooling balm;
Forgiveness soothes and comforts,
Till at last the soul is calm.
For the soul that seeks forgiveness,
When forgiveness can't be found;
It struggles vainly everyday,
To hear that simple sound.
The power in those three kind words,
Can heal a heart that's broken;
But that heart cannot begin to heal,
As long as words remain unspoken.
Compassion in it's purest sense,
Reside in those three words;
The three words, "I forgive you,"
Are all that need be heard.

another inspiring email from ivy
learning about...
I've learned that, no matter what happens or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. You can't appreciate what's good if there are no bad
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.As long as you are alive, there's always a second chance
I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." Work to live, not live to work
I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.Having pains is not the same as being pain in the ass.
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.An open heart never lies and decides for the good of everyone involved
I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But, if you focus on your family, the needs of others, and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.
I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.I know that even if there are times I feel tied, I'll lose my purpose of living if I lose my mom
I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone.
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.Life is about learning, through experiences, be it yours or others

Quotable Quotes
this is an inspiring one
"Aim for success not perfection... Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person."
Dr. David Burns
this made me laugh..
"I never make mistakes. I thought I did once, but I was wrong."

a very inspiring email i got from ivy, thanks very much sis :)
PRAISE GOD FOR THE CLOSED DOORS
We need to learn to thank the Lord for closed doors as we do an open door.
The reason God closes doors is because He has not prepared anything over there for us. If he didn't close the wrong door we would never find our way to the right door. Even when we don't realize it, God directs our paths through the closing and opening of doors.
When one door closes, it forces us to change our course. Another door closes, it forces us to change our course yet again. Then finally, we find the open door and walk right into our blessing. But instead of praising God for the closed door (which kept our butt out of trouble), we get upset because we "judge by the appearances." And in our own arrogance, or ignorance, we insist that we know what is right.
We have a very present help in the time of need who is always standing guard. Because He walks ahead of us, He can see trouble down the road and HE sets up road blocks and detours accordingly. But through our lack of wisdom we try to tear down the roadblocks or push aside the detour signs.
Then the minute we get into trouble, we start crying "Lord how could this happen to me?"
We have got to realize that the closed door was a blessing. Didn't He say that "No good thing will He withhold from them that love him?"
If you get terminated from your job - don't be down, instead thank God for the new opportunities that will manifest themselves - it might be a better job, or an opportunity to go to school.
If that man or woman won't return your call - it might not be them, it might be the Lord setting up a roadblock (just let it go).
One time a person had a bank he had been doing business with for many years tell him "NO" for a $10,000 loan. The Lord led him to call another bank. That bank approved a $40,000 loan for him at a lower interest rate
than his own bank had advertised.
I'm so grateful, for the many times God has closed doors to me, just to open them in the most unexpected places.
"The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way." - Psalm 37:23.
The Mountain top is glorious, but it is in the Valley that I will grow!
Always Remember God gives you . . .
Enough Happiness to keep you Sweet
Enough Trials to keep you Strong Enough
Enough Sorrows to keep you Human
Enough Hope to keep you Happy
Enough Failure to keep you Humble
Enough Success to keep you Eager
Enough Friends to give you Comfort
Enough Wealth to meet your Needs
Enough Enthusiasim to make you look Forward
Enough Faith to banish depression, and
Enough Determination to make each day a better day than the last
Life must be lived forward ... but can only be understood backwards ...

just want to share an inspiring email i received about work and us, workers
WORK and YOU
FIRST:
Don't get the idea that you are ATLAS, carrying the world on your shoulder. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously.
SECOND:
Tell yourself that you like your work. Then it will become a pleasure, not a drudgery. Perhaps you do not need to change your job. Change yourself, and your work will seem different.
THIRD:
Plan your work-work your plan. Lack of system produces that "I'm swamped" feeling.
FOURTH:
Don't try to do everything at once. That is why time is spread out. Operate on what wise advice from the BIBLE. "This one thing I do". (One part at a time, we can accomplish any goal set for ourselves. Today, I will do one small task that will contribute toward the achievement of a life goal.)
FIFTH:
Get a correct mental attitude. Think a job is hard and you will make it hard. Think it easy, and it will tend to become so.
SIXTH:
Become an expert in your work. It is always easier to do a thing right.
SEVENTH:
Practice being relaxed. Easy always does it. Don't press or strain.
EIGHTH:
Do not put off until tomorrow that you can do today. It only makes tomorrow's job harder. It piles up on you. Keep your work on schedule.
NINTH:
At the start of everyday, PRAY about your work. You will get some of your best ideas that way.
TENTH:
Take along your "UNSEEN PARTNERS". It is surprising the load He will take off you. GOD is as much home in offices and shops as in churches. He knows more about your business than you do....
WORK and YOU
FIRST:
Don't get the idea that you are ATLAS, carrying the world on your shoulder. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously.
SECOND:
Tell yourself that you like your work. Then it will become a pleasure, not a drudgery. Perhaps you do not need to change your job. Change yourself, and your work will seem different.
THIRD:
Plan your work-work your plan. Lack of system produces that "I'm swamped" feeling.
FOURTH:
Don't try to do everything at once. That is why time is spread out. Operate on what wise advice from the BIBLE. "This one thing I do". (One part at a time, we can accomplish any goal set for ourselves. Today, I will do one small task that will contribute toward the achievement of a life goal.)
FIFTH:
Get a correct mental attitude. Think a job is hard and you will make it hard. Think it easy, and it will tend to become so.
SIXTH:
Become an expert in your work. It is always easier to do a thing right.
SEVENTH:
Practice being relaxed. Easy always does it. Don't press or strain.
EIGHTH:
Do not put off until tomorrow that you can do today. It only makes tomorrow's job harder. It piles up on you. Keep your work on schedule.
NINTH:
At the start of everyday, PRAY about your work. You will get some of your best ideas that way.
TENTH:
Take along your "UNSEEN PARTNERS". It is surprising the load He will take off you. GOD is as much home in offices and shops as in churches. He knows more about your business than you do....

two not so good things happened today..
first, the admin talked to me again (buti na lang nde yung head dahil mejo mataray yun) to tell me that i'm one of the top 10 net users. o divah, bongga. wala ba akong medal? wehehehe :D
second, i've talked to a very inconsiderate and bossy lady, and to think that her work and position requires her to be service-oriented, sheez..

How Did You Know
INTRO
I remember so well
The day that you came into my life
You asked for my name
You had the most beautiful smile
My life started to change
I'd wake up each day feeling alright
With you right by my side
Makes me feel things will work out just fine
CHORUS
How did you know
I needed someone like you in my life
That there's an empty space in my heart
You came at the right time in my life
I'll never forget
How you brought the sun to shine in my life
And took all the worries and fears that I had
I guess what I'm really trying to say
It's not everyday that someone like you comes my way
No words can express how much I love you
Repeat Chorus

this is a song i heard when i woke up this morning, and somehow, reflects my outlook in life
Smile
Rod Stewart
Smile
Though your heart is aching
Smile
Even though it's breaking
When there are clouds
In the sky,
You'll get by
If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile
And maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun
Come shining through
For you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near
That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile
What's the use of crying?
You'll find that life
Is still worth-while
If you just smile
Smile
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near
That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile,
What's the use of crying?
You'll find that life
Is still worth-while
If you just smile
Keep on smiling
Oh yeah
Smile
Never, never, never stop smile
Smile

If you just smile
Keep on smiling
Oh yeah

Never, never, never stop smile
