For Sam

Sam.
Makulit.
Very, very playful.
Hugs your legs.
Ruins your get-up with her muddy paws.
Loves to play ball.
Eats everything.
Soaks herself in our water container.
Wears red collar.
Friend of the newspaper boy and water boy.
Snores when she sleeps.

Wanted:

Long term commitment.

Dedication

"And I won't look back
And I won't regret
Though it hurts like hell
Someday I will forget"


Taken from Sozzi's Letting Go

Dedicated to my very dear friend.

Gurl, you just have to let him go. For your sake.
Be happy.

A1 Mania

There seems to be a fever at home.

My sister (Ate Je) has just enrolled herself at A1 Driving School. My eldest sister (Ate Jo), on the other hand, has just graduated from her driving classes and will be seen practicing all weekends in Filinvest and... Commonwealth Ave???? Oh well...



I suddenly remember my A1 days. I had an "argument" pa that time with my instructor! Long story.

Anyway, good luck to my evil stepsisses! May they be grande like me! ;)

Lovely Bones

Geez, two of my colleagues have noticed I am losing weight. Well, while i was dressing up this morning, I also noticed it.

A weekend of pure thinkathon? Results are indeed real fast!

Tip to those who want to lose weight: Try thinking the whole day. But if you are prone to acne, this is not a good idea. (I have acne breakout right now, yuck!)

We're God's Idea

I had the worst weekend.

And momemnts ago, i had a "quality conversation" with my very, very good friend and sis, Net. She's that girl with the red poncho. I thought I would forever carry that 'worst weekend' sickness, good thing Nenita V. went online, and there, just like old times, nagbatuhan kami ng kuru-kuro about what recently happened to me .



I just want to share some of Net-net's tidbits for a broken soul like me (ayan naman). By the way, meet some of the Happy Thoughts Institution founding members. They're the best:

First, having graduated at the top of my class in Cupertino (harhar), allow me to reiterate that: I AM GOD'S IDEA, SO I MUST BE OKAY. very very true. God would not have created you if you've got some lapses. (to all those with heavy baggages, make this your mantra.) Life is not all 'happiness' anyway. Supreme beings like me, must also experience "shitty moments" like this.

Second, directly from Net: Mas mainam na habang maaga pa eh nailatag na ang baraha, kaysa iyong mas tumagal pa tapos mas malaking semplang para sa aorta".

Third: "Basta okay lang malungkot, go through it hanggang mailapag mo ang lahat ng bagahe mo, gagaan din naman yan eh. At siyempre kahit sangkatutak ang maleta mo, marami kaming tutulong sa yong magbuhat kasi love ka namin."

There you go.

Really, really nice to have friends.

Special Kids

I would really, really love to spend a day or two with special children.
I actually want to study Special Education and help these kids.

Is it July now?

Well, I guess this is the end of it.

This is just the way it is. I don't know what's gonna happen now. Basta, ako, the same pa rin-- supreme. Should stop right now, I can feel there's a big pimple coming out already.

down the drain

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go

Friday Sickness.

What is it with Friday?

I just noticed, my real 'thinkathon series' happens every Friday. What is it with Friday? Weekends are supposed to be relaxing and well.. great. Pero, bakit 'pag Friday, why is it like I am so obliged to think about a particular subject?

Today I should decide on what I want to do with my career. And this morning, I think I have heard the most shocking news for the year (and of course this has got to do with moi). =(

Last Friday, I almost lost & gained! I got sick thinking about this. And I'm sick until now (and it's Friday again!).

Phew.

I hope next Friday wont be the same.

You will never see me:

a. Wear cycling shorts. (That's for sure!)
b. Eat Tinola. (I call this 'raw chicken')
c. Alone in a moviehouse. (Sniff, sniff)
d. Read romance pocketbooks. (They either die or end up 2gedr)
e. Watch Anne Curtis's movies, guestings, commercials. (not unless she's got bloopers.. harharhar!)

there's more to come!

Wake-up Call

I got this from my very good friend Kat.

When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied
to anybody that left. The bible said that, they came out from us that it might
be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt
they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not
joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go.

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part
in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story
is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead.

You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over.

A wake-up call for those people who are having a hard time letting go

You will be needing friends like Hera and Kamille.

Supreme!

Tips to Stay Alive When You Are in the 'Brink of Death':

1. Shrug the idea off that you ARE gonna 'die'. That's just the way it is.
2. Diversion! Feed that 'puskal' (pusang kalye) you always see on the sidewalk when you go to work.
3. Keep it cool. Feel beautiful still. Nothing beats a cool and composed aura.
4. Repeat this three times: 'I am a Supreme Human Being. I can get away with this.'
5. Pray. Have faith. (Proven to be the most effective)

and you won't die anymore.

Trust me.

Cardinal Question

"Bakit ganon?"

Murphy's Law

It seems like Murphy's Law has never left me all this time.

Twas raining hard today. I did not bring the car (and because of that, im stuck here in my cubicle blogging). Ang tagal naman ni JayR (I had to ask my younger brother to pick me up). Plus, I have colds and cough.

Worse, the project i have been working on is cancelled 'due to some conflicts'. Enough about that.

Worst, he has plans of leaving the country, although not this year, but he has plans. And I know how much he loves it there. Oh boy.

To the nth power worst, Manang Lou went to her province for a vacation. No Manang Lou, no clean clothes, no clean house, no totoong food.

This is Murphy's Law after all.

Way2Go Sis!

I wish my sister good luck!



After a couple of years of deciding whether to take up Law or not, Ate je has finally decided she will do it! May it only be a piece of cake for her!

Well, cheers sister!

Pretend you're ok.

Too bad.

You have to pretend you're cool with everything sometimes.

You know, I just realized, that being straightforward could actually lead you to nowhere. Most of the times, to disappointment and when you think you will get something good from that straightforwardness you have, oh no sister, you won't. Believe me you won't. And believe me, whatever replies you received from your 'candor', they are partly or not most of the time true. You know why? Because you just let him come to grips with words. Seriously. Well, if that person is a master of spontaneity, then maybe more than half of what he said is true. It's like a surprised quiz. If you are not ready, it's a hundred percent flunk for you.

But some believe too much preparation is the one we should be scared of. It's well-rehearsed. Meaning, all questions are anticipated already.

Bottomline?

Respect anybody's pace. Kanya-kanya lang trip lang talaga ata.

Risk?

You actually do not know where you are going. You can't ask anything mainly because of my theory. And your tendency is to pretend you are a-ok, which is of course, exactly far-fetched. Improbable! But then again, you pretend you are ok, even if, you're not.

That's bull, isnt it?

But you cant do anything about it, can you?

Ganon lang talaga.

I turned it down

Yep.

I turned Easton International down.

It's a business school. The position was ok. I was supposed to be their Marketing Assistant. I was excited when i was there, having my interview. The pay was, well, more ok than here.

My resignation letter was ready. My letter of acceptance was ready too.

Pero...

I decided to stay. BUT this doesn't mean i am scared of 'expansion' or 'adventure'. I am known for these things actually. I just felt this isn't my time yet to go. When will be my time? I actually do not know. =)

But whenever that is, I sure am looking forward to it. ;)

Immunity



Friends, behold.

This is Puerto Galera.

No, i don't swim. And i hate the heat of the sun.

But i give Galera 'immunity'.

The place is a paradise. White sand. Clear blue (and sometimes green) waters. And the sound of the waves... Relaxing.

And the scenery before you reach Galera, totally breathtaking. You really have to stop for a while and appreciate its beauty.

Plus, it's just a two-hour drive from my house in Mindoro.

However, this isn't what i really want to talk about. But i'd love to have a piece of immunity.

Immunity from paranoia, from work, from heartache. No explanations needed. I really do not think i can handle more of these things.

Swear.

"Good morning. I'm back."

"Good morning. I'm back."

Phew. He is back. He is gone for like three weeks. And i have known him for three months (there isnt any connection, i just thought of sharing).

Excited? Yep. Super.

I can't wait to see him!

But 'PJ' (Protect Janice) still. You will never know. Three months isnt that long enough. Totally scared.

What the heck...
