*Start Copy Here*

You do not have to be tagged to play along. This game is simple and so are the rules.

1. Copy from *Start Copy Here* through *End Copy Here*

2. Add your site(s) to the list. Just be sure to post the "Big Bang" at each site you add.

3. Tag or don’t tag, your choice, however, the more tags you create the longer the list will grow.

4. Let me know your blog’s name and url by leaving me a comment HERE. I will add you to the master list. (If you would like a scroll box code, leave me your email address and I will email it to you.) Scroll Box Example. (I decided not to use the box for the Big Bang for ease of copying.)

5. Come back and copy the master list back to your site, often. This process will allow late-comers to get as much link benefit as the first ones in. Once you are on the master list people who have participated earlier will update their bookmarks and help everyone lower than them out on the list.

"How can i stand here with you and not be moved by you..
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?"

Waaaaaaaaaaaa......

Reminds me of you-know-who.
I'm really missin' you a lot. sigh.
Do you still remember when you asked me to check this song?

"How can i stand here with you and not be moved by you..
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?"

Sigh.

HIATUS

I won't be around this Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I am taking a break from my tedious and stressful life here in the forging company.

I received an email from Ms. Joy Samson, the Student Activities Assistant from the Office of the Students Affairs in my Colegio...

"With the theme “Isang Dekada ng Pagpapanday!, the Student Development Services Department (SDSD) through the Office of the Student Affairs (OSA) is holding the PANDAYAN 10, a Leadership and Team Building Seminar for Student Leaders. The event is a collaborative project with the Philippine Association of Administrators of Student Affairs (PAASA).

It will be a three-day summer camp which will be held on April 11-13, 2008 at Colegio de San Juan de Letran – Calamba in Calamba City. At the end of the training-seminar, the participants should be able to:

1. learn the basic concepts of leadership / team building through different learning experiences, games and other group activities
2. appreciate the importance of camaraderie as a stepping stone towards the achievement of their individual and organizational goals in an atmosphere of fun and togetherness
3. prepare themselves for their leadership responsibilities as groups and as individuals by tapping their own experiences and insights as learning materials


" Being one of the former participants of Pandayan and one of the active and responsible student leaders during your college years, we wish to invite you to be one of the facilitators of Pandayan 10. This event will be participated not only by Letran-Calamba student leaders but also student leaders from different colleges and universities from Region IV A&B. Since this will be a big event, we would like to seek your assistance to support us and make this much awaited event a success. Attached is the proposed program of the event."

***********************

A three-day worthwhile summer camp where different skills will be honed up.

Kinda bit excited.

There are battles that i choose to fight alone.

TRANSITIONS

Tuesday.

I reported already to my new boss .. take two. The first one i did about more than a month ago when the new organizational chart was poked in my eyes. Unluckily, the engineering department will lack in manpower should i be transferred immediately to the new section, so "they" have agreed to "indefinitely" extend my service to the department until the newly-hired engineers arrive. Unfortunately, up to this moment, there has been none. Sigh. I don't know why the vacancies haven't been filled up.. Is the compensation not enough? Are the qualifications too exxagerated? Or is the company really cursed?

And so i've made my mighty effort to know what has been going on with my career here. I approached the engineering head and asked him when and where the lateral transfer would really push through. (Lateral transfer: No salary increase, no promotion whatsoever, just addition of work and transfer of boss and office ) From Design Engineering to Cost Management. Whew. Sounds a tad complicated :D. The boss said Tuesday. And this is the day. This is it.

Baffler: New Organizational Chart was effective March 7, 2008. Our human Resource Department records
still has me under Engineering Department. How stupe could they be. Grrr.


If i'd tell you how my career has been groping badly with all the transitions going on, (and without them telling me of course), you'll understand why i would plotz with joy the day my job description would really be defined. Most of the times, i feel like a ball being thrown to where i would be of great use. If such is the case, how utilitarian could it be. I am serving three bosses, i mean really big bosses all at a time: engineering department's assistant manager, the plant manager and the president of the company.

The engineering department's assistant manager, who always arrives at a time most convenient to him, say 11am. (Inset: work starts at 7am) After having gone through the tremors of three consecutive resignations of the key players in his department, i could almost sense that he also wanted to quit. Left to serve in his department were three engineers: Two of them is sick of absenteeism and hindi-mo-ako-pwedeng-utusan-basta-basta, and i, the only rose among the thorns, is sick of boredom and laziness. So you can just imagine how hard it is for the boss to propel his department towards achieving high productivity.


Though admittedly, i can sense that he can sense my boredom at my work, he always relies to me because i think that he thinks i am his secretary. (Ang gulo..weheheh. Tongue twister?) Not really, it is because he has no choice, i am the only engineer available. Absent palagi ung dalawa. duh. Maybe it is also because im the only one left who still obeys his orders. Most of the times, i want to condemn him to an eternity of torment whenever i am asked to do things in his behalf, just because...he is also absent. :lmao: He has even passed down to me some of the jobs of those who resigned, like those new jobs for development for the new toyota R-type transmission. Now that i am being pulled out in his army, i can understand why he has become that adamant in a decision that was agreed upon by the top management.

The other boss that plunges me into the realm of uncertainty is the plant manager. Just because he is the plant manager, he can always ask orders to anyone below his rank. And the fact that he will be my new boss has given him the best authority to ask me to do soooooooooo many things in his behalf.

The memory is still fresh five years ago when i was just taking a shot in a post here. I knew the plant manager doesn't want to hire me. How did i know? The HR manager then told me. He doesn't believe that my capabilities as a lady engineer would do well to the company. He says a lady engineer couldn't even lift a five-kilogram metal forging. How would i be able to perform the job fully? What the HR Manager then did was to indicate that i will be deployed in QA department instead of the Engineering Department. So during the course of training, the assistant manager of QA was the one who prepared the module. But come end of training, the engineering assistant manager insisted that i will be joining his department. So contract signed: junior design engineer :D Weeeeeeeee.

What transpired in those five years was that this plant manager has tasked me to do sooooo many things which are beyond my duties as a design engineer. Archiving of events, monitoring boards, fair and exhibits and other functions outside of the company. (Some are even personal stuffs like school projects of his daughters..hehe) Of course, i can never complain. He is the plant manager. And now that i am under his umbrella, i just hope that the things that i did in the past years had him believe that i can do better than what he was thinking of me back then.

And the last is the really big big boss, the Company president. I don't know what went through his mind, but he just chose me to be his representative in the Toyota Suppliers' Club working committee. And to say this is just a mere representation is an understatement.
Hell to the club, i could have been paid for just working there as a committee. There are gazillions of works to be done, which kind of reiterated in my regular work here in the company.
Even harder because my performance in the committee would reflect that of the president's. If not for the kindred spirits of my co-working committees, i really would have let the president throw fires of hell to me by not performing my responsibilities in the TSC.

Yeah. I know i am underpaid. Not well-compensated. And it's my fault. Because i choose to stay. I can always leave the company whenever i want to.But i choose to work and work and work. I have convinced myself to stop complaining about the things that i have no control of.

I wonder if my five-year work experience here will slake the hunger and thirst for my career and professional growth. Maybe it won't. And if such is the case, what is next to me?

Im just tryin to give myself a reason, for being around.

I've always love to read Chris' blogs... and somehow, in the middle of my stupid recess, my eyes got poked by this song...

If I was in the fridge, would you open the door?
If I was the grass, would you mow your lawn?
If I was your body, would you still wear clothes?
If I was a booger, would you blow your nose?
Would you keep it? would you eat it?
Im just tryin to give myself a reason, for being around.

If I was the front porch swing would you let me hang?
If I was the dance floor would you shake your thing?
If I was a rubber check would you let me bounce
Up and down inside your bank account?
Would ya trust me, not to break you?
Im just tryin really hard to make you,
Notice me being around.

If I was a haircut would you wear a hat?
If I was a maid, could I clean your flat?
If I was the carpet would ya wipe your feet,
In time to save me from mud off the street?
If you like me, if you love me,
Why dont you get down on your knees
And scrub me?
Im a little grubby
From being around.

I actually do not know the song. bwahahaha.

I'm just tryin to give myself a reason, for being around. Yeah. Really.

And i guess.. i must end it now.

I just want to stop being around.

I'm sick and tired of it.

REMINDER

I asked God.

I asked God to take away my habit,
God said 'No', it is not for me to take it away,
but for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole,
God said 'No', his spirit is whole,
but his body is temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience,
God said 'No', it is a by product of tribulations,
It is not granted, it is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness,
God said 'No', I give blessings,
Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain,
God said 'No', sufferings draw you apart from
Worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow,
God said 'No', you must grow on your own,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life;
God said 'No', I will give you life,
So that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me - love others as much as He loves me,
God said - Ahhhh..........
Finally you have the idea,
this day is yours, don't throw it away.

***********

found this on my files.... must have been kept for years ..

why do i always have to be reminded.. tsk tsk...

It has never been a question of who forgets, but sometimes, there's a definite PAIN on being the one who remembers everything...

mahal mo na ba?

THANKFUL

Started the week right. Slept early the night before. I had a nice sleep. Woke up earlier this morning. Everything is nice and wonderful this morning. I am emitting happy bubbles :D tra-la la la la la

I was able to catch an enjoyable morning conversation with my dearest friends minnette, lorenz, and shawie. I love them all, they make my world a happier place to live in. hihihi. and of course, how will i ever miss my dearest friend dropping a line and tellin me to take care though he had a bad day at work? Thanks a lot. :) Hope everything turns out ok :D Ok? Again, I am emitting happy bubbles :D tra-la la la la la

*************

I was emitting happy bubbles when my heart was suddenly strucked by the site of a group of homeless beggars. This ain't peculiar these days, as you can catch a sight of them prowling the streets everywhere.

I then realize how nice my sleep had been. Lying in a soft bed, fanned with maximum intensity the electric fan blades could blow.... hellfire it was blowing though. nyahahah. But at least i really had a damn good sleep as compared to the nights i had before.
And while i was enjoyin' a comfortable rest of body, mind and spirit, on the other side of the bed were people spending their nights in decaying cartons and streets, and living their lives exposed to our daily commute between work and ... our comfortable beds :D

There are so many people here in our country who have nowhere to call home. Seeing the real face of poverty is a cinch for us, everywhere we can catch a glimpse of what it is like to be poor. Let's admit, the dream of success and a comfortable lifestyle does not extend to everyone.

But i believe that any one, with any motivation, would be able to work themselves out of a mess.

I am thankful that my parents have strived enough to provide a comfortable shelter for us. Though i must admit that there are holes in the roof that let the water drip inside come rainy days, (isalang na ang planggana kapag umuulan!! hehehe) i am still so very thankful that at night, we are able to sleep inside the walls and under a roof that secures us from the potential harms of the outside world. And i couldn't be thankful enough for a comfortable soft bed where i could plunge my body anytime i want to. A soft bed where my body rests with my eyes closed, my mind wanderin, my spirits soarin, and my soul travellin her way to dreamland....

PERSONALITY TEST

http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

It's been a rough day for me.

Sigh.

I just hope things would revert back to the same old days when things indeed make me smile.

:D

Goodnight my beloved :kiss:

DEPRESSED

I'm so

THIS IS WHAT I FEEL NOW

LEAVE RIGHT NOW
Will Young


I'm here, just like I said
Though it's breaking every rule I've ever made
My racing heart, is just the same;
Why make it strong to break it once again?
And I'd love to say "I do";
Give everything to you
But I could never now be true

So I say...
I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now

I'm here, so please explain
Why you're opening up a healing wound again
I'm a little more careful, perhaps it shows
But if I lose the highs at least I’m spared the lows
Now I tremble in your arms
What could be the harm?
To feel my spirit calm?

So I say...
I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now

I wouldn't know how to say
How good it feels seeing you today
I see you've got your smile back
Like you say - you're right on track
But you may never know why
Once bitten, twice as shy
If I'm proud, perhaps I should explain
I couldn't bear to loose you again

Yes, I will.
I think I better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper...
I think I better leave right now

HIRAM

Binomba na naman ni gerald ang cellphone ko ng mga messages. At tulad ng mga nakaraan, isang teks na naman ang pumukaw sa aking diwa:

"wag mong bitawan ang bagay na di mo kayang makitang hinahawakan ng iba."

***************

Pero paano kung ang bagay na pilit mong hinahawakan mo ay hindi mo pag aari? Handa ka bang pakawalan ito at makita sa mga kamay ng tunay na nag mamay-ari?

Ayoko sanang pakawalan ang isang bagay na tanging nagpapaligaya sa kin. Pero kailangan. Lalo na't ito'y hiram lamang :(

FOR ALL WE KNOW


Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share
So much to say and as we go on
from day to day...

Ill feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Lets take a lifetime to say
I knew you well
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
Let's take a lifetime to say
I know you well
But only time will tell us so
And love may grow
for all we know

***********

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Kinakalawang na ata ako. Mababad ba naman sa luha ang pagkatao. Sa halip na umapaw palabas ng mga mata... ano baga't sa loob dumaloy ang mga luha ko.

Ilang galon ba ng luha ang ibinuhos ko sa pagkatao ko? Minsan naisip ko, sana hinayaan ko na lng pumatak sa lupa. Hindi ko na pinigilan.

Mahirap talaga maging artista. Lalo na kung walang bayad. Ngumiti ka sa harap ng mga kaibigan mo, hindi ka nila babayaran sa pagpapanggap mo. Malay ba nila sa totoong nararamdaman mo. Humahalakhak ka naman ng todo. Ngumingiti ng halos abot hanggang tenga. Lumalamon na parang huling oras na sa mundo.

Kung pwede lang sana. Sinabi ko na noon pa.

Kapag unti-unti ng ginugupo ung katawan ko, gusto ko sumigaw ng malakas na malakas. Sige pa. Sige paaaaaaaaaaa. Hanggang sa sana...kunin mo na lng ako. Tapusin mo na ang mga paghihirap ko.

Pero naman ang mundo? Hindi ko pa nakikita ang araw sa pinakamataas na bahagi sa kalawakan. Hindi ko pa nakikita ang buwan, na lumiliwanag ng lubusan.

Kinakalawang.

Buhol-buhol na ang mga kadena ng isipan.

Bukas susubukan kong paagusin ang mga luha sa lupa.

(from its4fun)

STRANGERS AT ONE POINT, GOOD FRIENDS IN TIME.

NOBODY KNOWS HOW OUR WORLD WORKS. IT'S A MATTER OF TIME WHEN YOU TRULY APPRECIATE A PERSON. A MATTER OF FATE WHERE THE RIGHT PEOPLE ARE AT THE RIGHT TIME. NOBODY UNDERSTANDS HOW THE UNIVERSE CONSPIRES FOR US TO MEET THE PEOPLE WE'LL LOVE OR HAVE CONNECTIONS WITH. BUT THEN, IT JUST HAPPENS, YOU CLICK AND THE STORY BEGINS.

:think:

*************************************************************************

5 years lang naman pala un. sandali lang pala un. halos wala pa ko naacomplish sa mga nilagay ko dito due to some unavoidable circumstances. :sigh:

Anyways... moving forward still ...

Life is short. Make the most of it :)

UNLUCKY

Have you ever loved someone who just can't love you back?

Tragic isn't it.

Yet you still care.

Love.

Cherish.

Until the day comes that you no longer feel something special for that person.

And no one knows when that day would be.

You just wake up one morning and thank heavens it's over.

***

Lucky are those who are being loved the same amount inspite of being unable to return the love the other person wishes to have.

Life's like that.

Love is blind.

Tsk tsk.

:WUB:

Congrats to Manny. Pa ingles-ingles na naman sya :lmao:

Spank me sweety :weep:

I got stranded. :weep:

**********

130am. Gotta sleep. Nyt nyt.

COLDNESS FROM WITHIN

The night was so cold.

'twas not the temperature drop that's causing shivers to my soul...but the coldness i am feeling from within.

So depressed.

Felt like my life is so pedestrian.

Felt like being imprisoned with this malady. How could i ever get over this one, only a miracle would make it happen.

Last night..it too was hard for me to contain my emotions. Felt like needing some ears that would listen to me, shoulders that would let me lean on.. dunno. I was buzzing hard to a friend, someone i knew would understand me, would somehow stabilize the stupidity in me, and would be able to crack even just a chuckle in me. My fingers almost trembled buzzing at him. But offline he was.

Morning came. Trance i am still in.

Riding in a jeepney on my way to work, I chanced upon a lover, a girl and a lesbian. Their hands were tightly clasped. It might have been the seriousness with which they both spoke or the earnestness of each other's gaze,
they look perfectly fit for each other, they were emitting love bubbles. Never the mind the ones cursing them behind their backs.

I seemed almost cavalier with my confidence.

When was the last time i had my hands tightly clasped
in someone else's?

Uhh. The soonest my memory can serve me is an afternoon i have shared over a Sundae Mcdo and a cute brown teddy somewhere in the north before i went back to south in that same afternoon.

Sigh.

KICK ME!

Didn't get enough sleep. Dunno what i was thinking. Or dunno who the hell was thinking about me. hahaha. Crap.

And now im so sleepy here at work. I want a caffeine injection for a kick. Or maybe a real kick. Whoah.

Maybe a round of Patapon will do. Maybe. Just maybe.

(pata pata pata pon... pon pon pata pon.. chaka chaka pata pon.. don dondon dondon..)

**Yawns**

Sloppy me.

I was able to beat the shit in me.
Congratulate me.

:clap::clap::clap:

PATAPON

Sigh. I have fever. Yes. Fever.

PATAPON FEVER!!!!

fever!!!!

***********

I am definitely into it. Addicted.

I first heard of PATAPON when Sandwich20m asked me if i have already played it on my psp. With him having crowned as one of the AZ kings in www.symbianize.com ... i first thought it was some sort of a voyeuristic game intended for eerrr...uuhhmmnn...
adults only :D My thoughts then were even buoyed up when Sandwich20m told me that Jovrea27 was the one who encouraged him to play it. Hmmnn. King of Adult Zones on PATAPONS :think: Nyahahaha. Must be really some kind of... uhhh..oohhhh... :lmao:

I could also recall how Hoe311 noted in one of his shouts that the game PATAPON rocks. :think: With hoe311 (famous for his cp themes) getting hooked on PATAPON... i realized this isnt some kind of voyeur thing :D (Sometimes i just have to trust Sandwich20m that everything isn't about adult zones. nyahahahah. peace tayo tatang :peace: )

*******

I installed the game PATAPON on my psp.. and..tell you.. this visually striking rhythm-based fighting game really rocks!!!

And what this game is all about?

I am the Mighty Patapon, the "God", and i must lead my Patapons into a battle, not with an armalite, sword, spear, guns, etc... but with a drum, to which i will pound on a beat, that will give directions to my Patapons. I must bring back our former glory, against the Zigatons, our nemesis.

This rhythm-based strategy game may sound so easy... but tell you.. it's not. The pounding on the console's controls determines the actions on the game. The aim is to lead the army to victory up to the shrine at the end by hammering out tribal chants through varied control combinations that command different moves for the Patapons : move, forward, attack, defend. 10 combos will put the patapons in a fever, to which when into a state of fever, will make them more powerful.

What makes this game so exciting is that miracles can be performed to make it rain so that the lava can be put up just in time for the Patapons to be able to cross hot deserts. The ability of the tree of life to give birth for troop build ups really amazes me, but just like other games, you have to trade in something for these eyeball-shaped creatures like the items that you have picked-up on a mission or the ka chings (money) that you have collected. (No show-me-the-money-cheat here..haha) There's also a kicker in the home menu, on the left side, a short-time with a little fella (nyahahah) who plays a trumpet to stop a tree’s head itching so he then gives you something else... BUT ..oh yes..there's a BUT... you have to offer gifts for this fella before he does his "thing" (even short time doesn't come free as well..hahahah). You also have to choose the troops and equip them with the correct armour, shield and weapons before deploying them out on a mission, and this entails a lot of strategy.

Just as what i have read in a review:
Patapon : "A funky visual vibe mashed up with a unique, rhythm based control scheme equals a bona fide hit for the PSP"

And it really hit me.

My mind just can't get over that Juju thing. Even in my pre-occupied hours, my mind keeps on drumming to the beat of those one-eyed tribal warriors.

CERTIFIED PATAPON ADDICT!!!

And must i say i am not alone in this fever. Most of my symbianize friends are into it also... with swarming patapon avatars and signatures and themes and chats in our forum. FEVER!!!!!

FEVER!!!!!

*****

In tagalog, "PATAPON" means junk, worthless, low-quality, sub-standard, not chosen.... and uuhhmmm... others of that ilk. I really cannot find the words to define the tagalog term exactly... but it is usually coined as a negative one.

The birth of this new stomp-beat-forward-fight game has put the term PATAPON in a new dimension. By now, this means junk entry no more, Patapon has really captured the hearts of all ages.

And my oh my, i almost forgot my career in Need for Speed.

thinking of that person every waking and sleeping moment knowing all the while that he never even thinks a single thought of you...
>>>> kinda hurts me. yep. is he thinking about me? or not? maybe he isn't. and maybe..that's the beauty of love... loving someone who doesn't love you back..yet..you still love him...

holding back only to find out when it's too late, you both felt the same way, but were only scared to lose each other so much that you didn't let the feelings out
>>>> i just don't know if it is hell right to say it.. i really don't know...

falling in love with someone you didn't mean to fall in love with
>>>> yeah. didn't mean it. wrong time..wrong place..wrong channels... maybe all is wrong :cry:

finding the perfect one...with only one prob...that person doesn't love you...
>>>> same as above...loving someone who doesn't love you back...

lying in bed each night, thinking of that special person you can never have...
>>>> sigh.

why are there nights like this?

Can't beat the shit it me.
I MISS YOU.
DAMN.

kasalanan ko ba
kung hinahanap hanap ka
sa bawat pagmulat ng mata?
at sa pagpikit
pangalan mo pa din
ang tanging sambit?

kasalanan ko ba
na malunod ako
sa atensyon na handog mo?
ang tanging nais ko lang naman
ay karamay
sa aking mga hinaing at hinagpis
at makakasalo sa mga kiliti ng buhay.

kasalanan ko bang mangulila sa iyo
kung di ka masumpungan sa bawat sandali?

SLOW ME DOWN LORD

I can't remember where and when and how i got this prayer... but after reading it..it felt like stress and pressure have been flushed out of my system...

SLOW ME DOWN LORD

Slow me down, Lord!
Ease the pounding of my heart
By the quieting of my mind.
Steady my hurried pace
With a vision of the eternal reach of time.

Give me,
Amidst the confusions of my day,
The calmness of the everlasting hills.
Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles
With the soothing music
Of the singing streams
That live in my memory.

Help me to know
The magical restoring power of sleep,
Teach me the art
Of taking minute vacations
Of slowing down
To look at a flower;
To chat with an old friend
Or make a new one;
To pat a stray dog;
To watch a spider build a web;
To smile at a child;
Or to read a few lines from a good book.

Remind me each day of the fable of the hare and tortoise that i may know
That the race is not always to the swift;
That there is more to life
Than just increasing its speed.

Let me look upward
Into the branches of the towering oak
And know that it grew great and strong
Because it grew slowly and well.
from a tiny acorn

Slow me down, Lord,
And inspire me to send my roots deep
Into the soil of life's enduring values
That I may grow more surely toward the stars
Of my greater destiny.

SPLURGE

SPLURGE

Yesterday was bliss.

Hahahaha. Second Sunday it had been, WS mode back home (WS = walang silbi).

I was again stroked in front of my PC. Nine am til three. :D Sunday for me will always be a perfect time for adik mode, after twelve hours a day, six straight days of hard work. Really makes perfect sense. haha

********

Met ate kimi and mami sultry 5pm at the Starbucks (ATC) While i was on queue for an order of venti vanilla frap, i happen to hear the barista explaining to the girl in front of me that the promo for the starbucks planner has been extended till March. The girl was so elated i could see her brimming with excitement as she handed her redemption card to the barista. I just remembered my own redemption card with no more than 12 slots to be filled up, which i already threw in my waste can after Ady
refuses to take it with him and fill it up for me. (I knew then that i won't be able to complete it
come end of the promo period)

Since my order of vanilla frap entitled me to one sticker, i decided to just give it to the girl in front of me upon peeking that she still has a lot to fill :D I already have the planner (Thanks again Ady) and just the simple act of filling at least a slot in her redemption card would surely magnify something in me. And it felt good, seeing her flashing her a big smile as she thanked me. Really good. I could still hear her on the next table mumbling to her friends how a stranger filled in a slot in her card. :D

**********

And guess what really made up my week?

A dinner with Ate Kimi, Mami Sultry, Eliwood and Badeth.

Originally planned at Skyline Vivere, i've to cancel my reservation because we couldn't afford to experience the dining al fresco without our friends who wouldn't be able to join us. So we just settled to fill in our stomachs at Poquito Mas (Westgate Alabang) since we all crave for Sisig days before our settled date came in.

We splurged on pork sisig (the best at poquito mas), gambas al ajillo and pork adobo. The meals we had are indeed sumptuous, "galit-galit muna habang kumakain."

Dessert we had at Cafe Breton (Charged to Ate Kimi , Thanks..mwahhh!) The crepes are real damn so delicious. Oohh la la :D



We have agreed to splurge again either in Zong or Hula-hula (also in Westgate) after a payroll period :D I could just imagine how we all would be come December :)) Nyahahaha.

Forget about diet. There's life with them. I love them all.

BETTER LATE THAN NONE

After 24 cups of coffee (12 Christmas blend + 12 usual flavors), you will get this 2008 Starbucks Planner. You can collect the stickers until January 15, 2008. For each redeemed planner, Starbucks will make a donation to Project Sparkhope, a joint program with UNICEF Philippines providing early learning facilities for pre-school children in remote barangays all over the Philippines.

The Starbucks 2008 Planner is technically free. That is, it becomes free after you’ve consumed 25 drinks and attached the corresponding stickers to the card. If you’re a regular coffee drinker, then 25 drinks is about a month’s worth of your usual coffee intake, so it’s no biggie. But if you’re not a Starbucks fan and you’re just in it for the planner, then 25 drinks might just be a little too much. This being the holidays and all, why not get in touch with long lost friends and relatives? Gather up the gang for a Starbucks coffee date and after they’ve placed their orders, casually whip out your card. Before you know it, that planner will be in your hands before you can say coffee-rush.

The Starbucks planner has refillable pages with its six ring snap binding. Long after 2008 is over, you can still use and reuse it, if not as a planner then as a notebook because the leather cover looks like it can withstand even a nuclear blast. The pages are also easy to turn, no sticky pages whatsoever.

The Starbucks planner has a soft, pliant leather cover embossed with leaf-like designs. It also has a green striped band around it in lieu of a fastener.

Yeah. I got one already.

The Starbucks Planner

Better late than none di ba :D

This planner came from Ady who asked me to help him in the floor plan lay-out of his soon-to-open computer shop.

THANKS ADY!

FEB 9 AND FEB 10

FEB 9

Weekned had never been this wonderful. Ahihihihi.

Saturday night. Chill with the symb adiks.

We had a sumptuous dinner. Mine's binalot sa dahon: tapa with kamatis and half of salted egg (courtesy of tatang) Ahhh... sarap.

After feeding our growling stomach, a traipse inside the mall had kept our digestive system in full gears. As always, bonding wouldn't be complete without a caffeine boost as we exchange stories and engage in quick banters.


*******


Tatang sandra finally got his much coveted PSP. Ah..such a nice feeling when we finally got something we have been dying to have. Wahahaha. It's as if the rest of the world is in focus. Whoah. Papiktyur muna ako sa bagong fi-esh-fi.

(I just hope this PSP wouldn't tread the path his 3230 had undergone...... gone in the pocket of a tipsy senior citizen slouching in a bus on his way home ... (Big Evil Grin.)


************

SUNDAY.

Woke up late. My sister had told me the night before that the PC is down ..again. I cancelled my Autocad turotial to wen's brother in order for me to resuscitate the PC and bring it back to life. :D I am directly proportional to my PC, when my PC is down, i am down too. :D

Minor adjustments on the cable at the back of the pc had my Windows running. (haleluyah..angels singing on the background) Yehooooo. Back on adik time again.

I must have enjoyed chatting with a friend, i almost forgot breakfast and lunch ever existed. Even my stomach neither complained. :D I almost loose track of time as i lie on my bed rambling about senseless things and keeping an ear to what he was saying..and..uhhmmnn...singing :lol: But i did had a great time :D


************

We had set up a surprise birthday dinner party for our friend Mayeth. Ady accompanied her to the mall to buy her a gift..while we all clandestinely assembled to the place where we will dine :D

And the modus operandi headed by Doc Joy and clubT's very super generous bestfriend Ady was indeed a success.

The plan went very well.

We watched her in so much surprise as tears start to brim in the corner of her eyes.

Eventhough the service at the Old Spaghetti house got into our nerves, we really did enjoy the celebration we had. Taking also in full consideration how Ady paid the meal in his Visa. (wehehehe. Talamats Ady)

It was a strong sensation of deja vu as if our years together had suddenly come back.

To Iyen and Sherley, we hope you could join us in our next modus operandi: birthday bash for Ady. Sure enough..it will be hell fun of excitements...and naughtiness too..bwahahahha....a

NO TRESSPASSING

I was in a roller coaster of emotions yesterday. Not because i was having my monthly period as what rodney had been insisting (hahhahaha) but because ... ala lang...basta naiinis ako...

Went offline in the morning. I was so busy with my pending jobs that i needed to shut my virtual world in order for me to accomplish my schedule. Been so damn busy at work. Physically straining and mentally damaging. haha. I almost smelled like metal billets, forging steels, lubricants, graphites and others of that ilk. Goodness. ANG HIRAP TALAGA KUMITA NG PERA.

I was in a meeting when a good friend dropped me a line. Hmmmnn.. Really feels good to be remembered, isn't it? Especially by someone who is just about to doze off. Baka kasi di na sya magising bukas, then i'll be the last person to whom he/she have talked to.That would be history. Come to think of it. (hahaha...joke lang :D peace)

***********

Do not invest too much emotions. So that when the truth comes, you'll be able to pull yourself back easily.

Whatta thought.

I told you not to.

I told yah.

HAPPY ME

I'M SO HAPPY :)

A while ago, ysm was sending messages on my YM. In as much as i would want to shut the hell out of him on the back burners of my brain, i decided to be casual and answered his queries in the modest way i could.

Not much of a conversation really, just plain question and answer. He was also hitting his keyboard with the usual kamusta-ka-na-mis-na-kita-mahal-na-mahal-kita-ingat-ka-lagi spiel, run-of-the-mill statements i consider so gibberish. Also, being at work wouldn't allow me to have a longer exchange of words with him. Even if i had the luxury of chatting time, i'd rather spend it in the symbianize shoutbox (kapag wala ang mga frendships sa ym. hahaha.)

A slip of the tongue maybe, I have mentioned to him this Ryan who has sent a message on my friendster asking about his whereabouts.
I told him to check the message, see if this Ryan's a real acquaintance. Because at the back of my mind, i was thinking this could be a bogus one, could be someone just pretendin to double check if we are still in contact, and someone just wantin to peek through my friendster profile..checking who looks better ...hahaha. When he realized that the person indeed is his friend, he wondered how this person could have sent me a message. Crap. Of course he could have probably saw my pic in his profile! Wa-da-hel.

So i told him, "Why not just go tell Ryan i am not your girlfriend anymore. Crap."
