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

ang haba ng hair ko

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

Sophie Kinsella

since i had read Can You Keep A Secret, i seem to like her style of writing. parang autobiography na alam mo namang fiction, pero may touch of what's happening in the real world. hindi far-fetched. hindi imahinasyon lang, hehehe. im now reading The Undomestic Goddess, and i might read here shopaholic series as well. di naman ako nagiging fan ni Sophie Kinsella di ba? hehehe :D

can u keep a ssshhhh

im currently reading Sohie Kinsella's Can You Keep a Secret, and funny (or is it?) i can relate to what's happening in the book with what's happening with my life now.. howell... will get through with this somehow..

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.
