naNg DahiL sa GLINER
sObra...almost 1 hour ako naghintay ng gliner! I never thought it would be that long! I know I had this tendency to be mapili sa puv's na sinasakyan ko pero ewan ko ba why sobrang pili ko na it took me an hour just standing in the bus stop waiting for the perfect GLINER na daraan...malamig, malinis and maluwag...unfortunately nakasakay ako finally after and hour and di nameet standards ko. I dont know, its just so happen that im so pissed thats why im writing about that experience. If i only knew dun din ako babagsak....i took the first bus that came my way... maybe not perfect but tolerable enough...
At some point, i was able to see the connection of that experience with my life. Ive always been wanting to have the perfect man, the perfect husband, the perfect better half. Im always mesmerized with physical appearance and social status that I overlook people na dapat binigyan ko ng importansya noon pa...hay, makes sense ba?! I mean especially for us girls, I know there are some standards na sineset tayo for the man of our dreams but we should not really focus on those things, kung me sineset man tayo dapat achievable sya. I do understand the point ng author ng saying na..."if you aim high, reach for the stars....so that if you fall...youll fall on the clouds..." but i also believe na if you aim for achievable goals...and you surpass it...youll be happier than someone falling on the clouds, not being able to reach the stars...getch?! i mean, we are the ones who is responsible for our own happiness - kung ano man yung formula mo para maging masaya ka...use it. NOt all formula will work for each one of us since we do have differences...
Basta wala lang, yung GLINER kasi na nasakyan ko eh. Ive waited for almost an hour for that bus but still it fell short of my expectations...maraming dumating na dinaman masyadong masikip but i opt to wait for the one na almost empty and eto ang napala ko...hay, ang saklap. Pero one thing ive leard about this experience....WAG MASYADO MAARTE, LALO NA KUNG DI KAGANDAHAN! (sorry ha, parang napraning ako sa blog na'to - wadever!) =)

Natutuwa ako kasi i finally had the time to post a blog ulit...grabe its been a busy week for me....bumalik ako sa aking kabataan...(hmmm...matagal tagal narin yun!) No i mean at least kahit papano ngayon nakakalabas labas nako sa lungga ko. I dont know, for the past 2 to 3 years...naging stagnant ang "social life" ko. Maybe masyado akong nagconcentrate sa mga "matters of the heart" (ano daw?!) Pero since naging buddies ko ang mga teeny boppers...nagkakulay ang buhay ko sa cvg...ahihihi...
...Ayun at recently rin nakabili nako ng digicam sa wakas, ayus! Imbes na maging maayos eh parang lagi akong busy sa pag uupload ng mga pics, ano beh! Parang everyday nalang excited ako umuwi kasi mag uupload ako ng pics from the office (tama ba naman yun?!) Nagagalit na nga sa akin ang jowakers ko kasi pag uwi ko matutulog ako ng 2 hrs then gigicing for lunch and mag uupload then matutulog na ulit...huwat! Gigicing ako sa gabi at papasok sa liyag kong CVG at magpipicturan kami ng mga kabercks ko...Ang mundo ko ay umiikot na lang sa aking pc at sa aking minamahal na digicam. It cant be!
Gusto ko naman bumili ng ipod. Teka bakit ako ganito, di naman ako masyado techy kaso naiimpluwensyahan ako ng mga young pipol na nakakasama ko. Lately, ang mga kinakanta ko ay "Beautiful Girls" ni Jojo na me suicide suicide pa (anobayan!)at "Stars are Blind" ni Paris Hilton (duh!) - Waaahhhh! Parang feeling ko 20-22 years old lang ako...di to dapat. dapat sila naiimpluwensyahan ko. Dapat matuto silang magkaroon ng interest sa craft like beading and cross stitching like what im doing. Magkakapera sila dun dahil pwede nilang ibenta. Dapat matuto sila sa akin at malaman nila ang mga priorities nila sa buhay. Ang mga gadgets na yan, di dapat masyado dinidibdib. Dapat iniinvest nyo ang inyong hard earned money sa makabuluhang bagay! Kaso gusto ko talaga ng ipod! si Gherj kasi eh!
Sige promise ko sa sarili ko dina ako magigigng ganito...bibili muna ako ng groceries sa bahay bago ako bumili ng kung anik anik...toyo suka lang naman pwede na diba?ililimit ko na rin ang aking exposure sa aking digicam at pc ng mga 2 hrs per day promise at ng marami naman akong magawa sa bahay...andami ko na palang kumot na di nalalabhan!
At sa mga teeny boppers, pasensya na. Di nyo na muna ako makakasama sa mga gimiks, lalabhan ko muna ang natambak kong labada. Pero bukas lang naman yun...pag natuyo na... laboy ulit tayo ha! c",)

Everyday is a new day...every second counts..i remember the song we used to sing in the church that goes something like "teach us oh Lord to number our days" - that is the only thing we cant take back. This is also the prayer of every prudent man, that the Lord will teach him how to make his days and life count by granting him a heart of wisdom. We need the wisdom of God to know his timings and seasons for our life, for there is indeed a time for everything under the sun. It takes the wisdom of God to always do the right thing at the right time.A wise man once said: "Procastination is the grave in which opportunity is burried.."So from now on, i will make it a point to make my remaining days on earth worthwhile...ive realized i should not waste it on something that has no eternal impact, hahaha! so deep ba, but thats true. I miss the old me, i miss my quiet time alone with the Lord and i know im not the one feeling that way. I know He is waiting for me to take time and speak with Him again like before. Its been two years since I last went to our church, its been a long time and i wonder why God is still holding me and still gives me strenght to wake up each day...still keeps me safe..still keeps me and my family healthy while here I am neglecting him and doing things that I should not be doing in the first place. I need a drastic change, I need to do a drastic move so that I could rekindle the fire for Gods presence. The main purpose of our existence is not just to love, to work and to enjoy...the main reason were still breathing is because God wants us to be a tool for others to know how much He loves them and how He died to give us life. Im certain that some people wont understand but there's a verse in the bible that says:"The gate is narrow and the road is hard, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:14). I hope anyone who reads this blog finds the narrow road....and i hope they find it NOW because we dont have all the time in this world, the days of our life here on earth are time limited, we therefore need to number our days so that we can make our journey in life a fruitful, impact-full and memorable one.
A man was once asked how he wished to be remembered when he is dead, and he replied by saying he does not want to be remembered for how long he lived, but how well he lived for others. He wanted his life to count; just like the bible recorded our great saints, who though long dead, yet speaks...I often think how would my friends, officemates, acquaintances and even enemies would remember me when im gone...would it be positive? I think this is the best time to work on it...
A wise man once said: "The fool spends his time, but the wise and prudent invests his"
"But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, You are my God. My times are in your hands;" (Psalm 31: 15);
O Lord, teach me to make the most of my days on earth. Amen

I remember receiving this email from Shai twice but only on the second time was i able to open it...just seing a subject on the email "fw: friendster kuno: TAWA MUNA!" doesnt catch my attention. Sometimes I had this tendency to just delete forwarded messages and open those mail na usually me personal message...but then finally when i happen to clean up my inbox and was about to delete some stuff...nakita ko siya and inopen ko...and eto hanggang ngayon di ako makarecover...here it is...enjoy! :))

Well what can i say about my mom? The more i tink about it, the more i understand how my personality was mold just like hers, she is so funny - i remember when she was still working at uerm - she is always the emcee of their Christmas party because of the way she manages to make each one laugh.I finally realized where my sense of humor came from, we both love seeing other people happy She is also so kuripot and like me she prefers "quantity than quality" and i may say she is the real "ukay ukay queen", she actually have a room filled with stuff and clothes she bought from ukay ukay...pero in fairness, she makes it looks expensive because of some alterations...she also doesnt know how to cook, the only dish she can cook with eyes close is pinakbet being a true blue Ilocana. She might now be lucky with her previous "love interests" (haha) but she is very lucky to have 4 beautiful children who loves her so much.
Ill be going home tomorrow after having the realization that my time with my mother is so limited. Ill make the most out of it I promise and from now on...mom will be my best priority. Mababaw lang naman si mama...kfc bucket lang katapat ng tampo nyan (mom's fave is kfc chix). Love you mama, i may not say it everyday but you are always in my prayers and I love you so much...more than anything else in the world....

pRISon BreAk
For about a week now, I keep on thinking about how was I able to know about Prison Break...the series that keeps me on my bed for almost a week now with my portable dvd...and i suddenly remembered na yeah - it was from Malen and Syana when we had a conference chat about a month ago. As I recall Malen said she was so excited that Prison Break 2 is now showing...I thought its a new movie or something but she said that it was a series..hmm..still doesnt ring a bell! So i just let them discuss about it while i check my blog - im not interested anyway. But its been a talk of the town in the office as well...so when I had the chance to borrow a dvd from my friend and saw na she do have prison break part 1 and 2 - yun na lang hiniram ko...and i never regret it. Grabe talaga, since Jewel in the Palace - dito lang talaga ulit ako naaddict! Meaning instead of having 7 to 8 hrs of sleep everyday...mga 5 nalang because once naumpisahan mo yung isang episode...its so hard to stop yourself from jumping to the next one. haay! Also learned na its from fox tv pala yun...i wonder kung anong channel yun sa sky cable...
As of the moment, nasa episode 17 nako and one dvd has about 22 episodes with it. Good thing lagi kaming vgh - for 6 straight days na! so medyo nakakatulog narin ako ng maayos kahit papano. Well saw this video from you tube...and its a nice one.
Hopefully I would be able to finish the whole 22 episodes till tomorrow so i can start with season 2. Then alam ko na agad wats the next series na i would watch..."attic cat" or "full house" ...but im also thinking baka meron ding "marimar the series" - maganda din yun divah. wat dya tink? hahaha!
i love you Michael Scofield!!!!

VGH na naman si Myles...
VGH- Voluntary Go Home- a situation wherein anyone who wants to leave (up to a certain number of people) can leave though they still werent able to complete the required number of hours on their shift as they will not be needed to sit in the queue that day.
Grabe nakakaaddict pala talaga ang vgh! and for 5 straight nights na after our coach allowed us to file for it...i was able to go home earlier than the usual sa buong linggong ito0. Masaya, oo, i was able to sleep for 9 hrs. and was able to be with my love for 2 hours longer than the usual..kaso wanna anda! Daming nawalang chorva- 500 pesos spent on a taxi fare sa limang araw na umuuwi ako and almost php1000 deduction on my salary on the 30th of September, whatda! Hmmm...but come to think of it, its only in this rare occassion are we allowed to go on vgh because of productivity purposes of team kaya ika nga eh "Strike while the iron is still hot!" and i bet, just in case next week vgh will be offered again, you will see me signing up still! hahaha!
And since VGH na naman ako ngayon , at around 2:00 am - i had the time to look into my friends blog accounts and i happen to see this entry on Andrea's page...it really is true! You should not let girl fall for you if you do not intend to keep her for the rest of your life.You will only hurt her if you have a different intention. hmmm... familiar na naman ang mga words dito ah!
The Story of Me and My Platonic Friend
************************************
A cliche.
Yet when it happens, it HURTS.
I'm not sure if this'll happen to everyone, so if this hasn't happened to you -- you ain't just lucky, you're blessed. So please be careful with people's hearts -- you'll never know how weak they are or how weak they can be because of you.
Do not have yourself too close to someone who isn't your bestfriend -- when you have to leave, she'll be miserable. Do not do her favors -- you'll become all she needs. She might not do without you. Do not spoil her -- she'll be looking for a you in the next guy she meets. She'll have a hard time.
Do not spend hours talking to her everyday -- when you're busy, she'll be depressed. Do not let her get used to knowing everything -- when she finds something out somewhere, she'll be upset.
Do not spend weekends with her -- she 'll just think she's special. Do not take her to romantic places if you're not meaning anything -- she will not realize that you're there just because there's no place else.
Do not care for her too much -- she'll think you love her. And if she learns that you don't, you'll break her heart.
If she's out, don't check if she's home. Don't ask if she's eaten. Forget her schedule. Do not tell her about things that reminds you of her. Stop the compliments. Do not introduce her to your friends. Don't let her talk to your siblings. Do not call her when you're drunk. Do not imagine things together. Forget future plans. When you're gone, she wouldn't know what to do.
Be fair. If she asks you to go, go. If she says she wants to go -- do not believe her right away. If she really means it, let her. Do not ask her to stay for other reasons than you and love. She will be happy to stay -- but YOU and love alone will be her reason.And if both will not be there...let her go....

High School Musical - When There Was Me And You (Gabriella)
High School Musical Fever...
Finally, I was able to watch JC's ever favorite High School Musical. The first time he mentioned about it - He was so excited and he urged me to watch it as well...kaso I feel na parang "pambata" - i mean just a love story "kilig" type of movie that will only appeal to those teeny bopper guys and gals that still believe that a fairy tale kinda relationship. But since my officemates are also into it - "even those not so young folks" (haha!) ... ayun I told myself why not give it a shot.
Well, the first part of the story is just a typical kind of scenario - high school students bumping to each other...eyes met...had an unexpected song number...seems they both felt love at first sight..boring! But as the story goes...I began to familiarize myself with the situation. I began feeling the same feeling I had 2 or 3 years ago. I suddenly remember how I myself had the same situation and same dilemma as what Gabriela had while singing this song....The song is the perfect description of what I felt with someone few years back...here it goes...
"...rekindles a long lost feeling..."
Looking from the outside
I'm standing here but all I want
Is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe
Miracles could happen
Cause now I have to pretend
That I don't really care
I thought you were my fairytale
A dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star
That's coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you
I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing
And when you smiled
You made me feel
Like I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's
And once upon a song
Now I know you're not a fairytale
And dreams were meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star
Just don't come true
Cause now even I can tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
Because I liked the view
When there was me and you
I can't believe that
I could be so blind
It's like you were floating
While I was falling
And I didn't mind
Cause I liked the view
Thought you felt it too
When there was me and you
