Life Goes On

HAPPY 2010 TO ALL!!! There are a lot of things to be grateful about for the year 2009, however, we always need to say goodbye to the old year. We are now by 2010, 2:20am of January 1, 2010 to be exact. It's exciting, at the same time frightening. But just how Fr. Jerry said over his sermon, "Que Sera Sera, What will be, will be", I am leaving everything to God. I just hope and pray that this year would be as fruitful and happy as the past year. And as a tradition, me too, have some New Year's resolution, and I hope I can live it up this year: 1. I will not be overly sensitive on things, specially towards Mom. 2. I will  not be overly paranoid, rather, trust my other half whole-heartedly. 3. I will make sure I lose weight and get back to my old waist line (I won't mention it though ;)) 4. I will always keep my motivation to work at high level. 5. Have ample time for my family. 6. Minimize sleeping hours from 10 to 8 hours, and do other important stuff instead. 7. I...

i will not write anything about new year's resolution, coz i am not always able to keep it up... instead, i will have new year celebrated like our eastern sisters and brothers, a birthday celebration for me... so every birthday of mine, i always have wishes... and all i want is a little numbness for my heart... being too sensitive for the needs of other people is beginning to be too much for me... they tend to be abusive... asking a lot from me, but i get nothing in return, especially on the times i needed them the most... because in the end, it is always just me all alone...

Yes, it is just a few hours away before my birthday; same as the countdown that UST is doing now at Paskuhan 2009 to mark the countdown to the Quadricentennial event in 2011 (sigh! Wish I am there to witness the lighting of the Christmas tree and the traditional fireworks display, but no, I ’ m at work … ) … Anyway, going back to the countdown before my birthday , I guess this is the best time to look back to the 25 th year of my life and list down the things I have to be thankful about: 1.      Despite what the world economy had gone through this year, I still have work (though I kinda find it boring at times, LOL!) 2.      A happy heart, (need I say more?) =) :-x 3.      A healthy body, well at least I only had flu one time, and me and my family were spared from that AH1N1 thingy 4.      My mom is healthy, though she got hospitaliz...

can't believe i was able to complete the stickers for my starbucks planner as early as now! am i that addicted to coffee this time? inside the box (part of the sales of this planner helps Spark of Hope foundation) the roast design (i actually wanted the beans however the branch at north harbour doesn't have that design last Sunday morning) closer look at the roast design, it's toleerable well, not bad, i thought the spaces were small, but it's just okay... ^_^ so now i guess, i can help my friends complete their own sticker cards... but i still want the beans though... =)

Instead of working on the documents sent to me yesterday, I am procrastinating again. I ’ ve spent half of my shift searching over the internet about the best deals for the month of April 2010. I know it is still far, but at least I can have an estimate of how much it ’ ll cost us going to Bohol, or Palawan, or simply at Puerto. And surprisingly, Bohol is way cheaper than Puerto, with all other interesting stuff to do, unlike going to Puerto wherein all we could do is swim, dive and snorkel. Since tarsiers are so popular in Germany, I have thought of showing him a real tarsier, face to face, eye to eye, not just like those shown on Germany TV ads (yes, there ’ s an ad with a tarsier as the main cast, hahaha! I forgot the product though, schade!). Oh well, I just hope that he would also like the itinerary I have planned. =) Do I sound so excited? Not really, just a little, hahaha! =)

owkie... cleaning up is done... am i fooling myself?!? i just deleted 4 old posts! hahaha! whatever! maybe i am just soooo pre-occupied that is why i cannot write anything with sense, because reading back my past posts, may sense naman kahit pa'no, except of course when i rant over my past jobs... hahaha! oh well... life moves on... and i'm glad on where i am now...

yes, I have thought of it once again … clean up my blog site … remove unwanted posts … make this a little more logical instead of pure randomness full of non-sense … I wish I can comple te it fast … I wish I can do it better this time … this site will be temporarily unavailable for some time … watch out for the new look and new thoughts … = )

i went to see my goddaughter's birthday party... a children's party with adults as guests! so much fun! after the party, starbucks caught my attention... so instead of heading to the jeepney terminal back to complex, i went inside starbucks and get myself some iced peppermint mocha... and that christmas tumbler i've been eyeing for soooooooooooo long! ^_^ that glossy red design is pretty... ^_^ and i am just your typical stubborn girl, said i will get away from coffee because of this questionable palpitations these past few days, but i still get myself a cup today... and since i got dozens of tumbler, mom said not to waste my money any longer on those tumblers since they are all just the same, only the design varies, but still, i get myself a new one... ANG KULIT KO LANG NOH?

- i am not sure if i have an old post with this title. - it took me so long to post back here again. thanks to this slow smart bro, it allowed me to access ONLY blogger, and it just keeps on logging me out of FB and twitter. - it was so traffic on my way home to batangas this afternoon, i almost did not make it with my appointment with joyce for my braces (thank God she got a lot of patients!) - saw an überly handsome kiddo sa jeepney on my way to san jose, i suddenly remember mom's comment on who my nephew's look alike is... guess who! ALAN COMPLE! - my reaction on the comment above? WTF!?!?! kian is WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY more handsome than alan... hahaha! - i feel so sad with all that's happening here in the philippines, makes me want to leave philippines as soon as possible. - will be going to sta. rosa tomorrow for my inaanak's birthday party, but i planned to stay late, coz i want to see what will happen at PBB. - saw this tweet from PBB Secretary, bagyong issa?!?...

Bet I got you onto reading, and I am sorry for that. If you are a friend, you may continue reading, but if you find this a waste of your time, then it ’ s a goodbye then, I do not want to be blamed by you for wasting your most precious time. J Ich bin heute so fröhlich. Warum? Weil hat die Sonne heute in Manila gescheint! Endlich, ich denke , alle Taifun ist schon fertig. Danke sehr Gott! Jetzt bin ich wieder in Arbeiten grundlos, aber muss ich hier für 1 Jahr und 5 Monate mehr arbeiten . Zu lange, huhuhuhu... Enough! I have nosebleed na, and not even sure if my German is okay, haha ha ! Sometimes kasi I need to use it for practice , kesa naman Saturdays lang nagagamit sa class. Lately kasi have no work load demanding for my use of the language, so I think the language is rotting in me, syempre, boyfie cannot always call me coz it ’ s so expensive for him, and vice versa. To be sure I a m inline with my title; here are few things I do to l...

mmofive years ago, Milenyo did not let me go home after my shift... and this year, Ondoy ALMOST made me sleep by the bus along EDSA... i was both scared and worried yesterday as i sit by the bus and see the news from GMA about flooded streets in metro manila. i was afraid that i might sleep by the bus because there was already flood along EDSA Guadalupe, Santolan and Cubao underpass, making the vehicles almost immobilized along EDSA. my worries came when mom texted me that the water was already neck-deep downstreet our house, and little more rain and the water would reach our house, for sure. sad, we do not have 2nd floor, as this was built years ago, and the engineer was confident we are situated at a fairly high location. but with the case yesterday, i was thankful the rain stopped or else, i am part of those sleeping by the centers now... my family's safe, the water finally subsided by 12midnight, and did not reach our house... however,there are still thousands of poor souls who...

Just came home from the cinema, I treated my mom for a date, and watched her all-time favorite actress, Gov. Vilma Santos, and also as a support since part of the earnings will go to some projects in Batangas. Anyway, another reason I wanted mom to watch it is because I want her to understand me, even if it is kinda late na ata... I do not want to spoil the story here, but the part when they were at the park, it was like me and mama talking, not Luis and Vilma. Me: Remember the time when you found out someone likes me, you started to treat me coldly, and even the people who you call "kunsitidor". Mama: Because it came as a surprise, it was not that easy for me to accept. Me: Eh, remember the time when I told you that I am one of those top students of our class, and I do have numerous awards during highschool graduation? You were not satisfied with it and told me, why not as great as Lyn's? I just  kept quiet then, but deep inside, I cried. Mama: Because I think you deserv...

I have been contemplating the whole day whether I will have myself a haircut, though I have told my mom and boyfriend that I will grow my hair this year and wear another wavy style, but then I find my hair so dull and boring. Wearing a simple straight and childish hair makes me look so out-dated (haha!)…   So I searched the web and found numerous hairstyles that fascinates me, but I am not confident enough that all these styles would fit me... Overall, it shows that I love bob hairstyles, the question only falls now whether to have or not to have a haircut... New Email addresses available on Yahoo!

but i'm not! hahaha! oh well, outside, it's raining cats and dogs again, best time to tuck myself to bed, but i can't... insomnia strikes again... it's also because at this time, i am really awake, chatting, but since he is out of state, and only he knows what time he'll be back home, so no chatting for tonight... i.want.to.sleep.now.but.i.can't.963.is.not.helping.now... :( (sigh!)

If this is some kind of a romantic relationship, this sure is something to celebrate , but it isn’t that way. This is no love story to start with … Even if I like the way they treat me, even if they find me great, this is just isn’t my place. I thought, I belong here, but now it ’ s clear, I don ’ t. How many more days are left for me to reach the 21 st of March, 2011? Why can ’ t time just run faster? I am not tired of the work, am not mad over tasks, it ’ s just that I don ’ t belong here … I miss the scent of chemicals, the sound of stirring rod as it touches the beaker; I miss the waiting time for the chromatographs from the HPLC and/ or the GC. I miss them, but I am not sure if I can still go back working with them. I mean, yes, it ’ s great experience being able to work here, I’ ve learned a lot, but it has deprived me of the chances to work on these products and can boastfully say th...

I just grabbed this chance when, I’m so dead bored, tired, and sleepy over one document I am asked to rewrite. Today’s the 3 rd day of that document on my table, and even if it’s Friday, I just don’t feel the urge of finishing it. Anyway, the document would take effect on October, and I don’t think it would take a month for a document to reach Lithuania from Germany, right? I can still work on this one next week, oh well, I MUST work on it next week, or else, I’m dead. ‘Tis just so boring Friday, a typhoon is hovering over Philippines (for the 12 th time this year) and the floor is just soooooooo empty. One of my colleague had gone home (she took a half day off) and most of the people are all on their way to Bohol (yeah, despite the unfriendly weather), coz it’s a long weekend for them, yes, ONLY for them. I wanted to scan through my book of Schritte International le I to prepare myself tomorrow, but I just can’t coz of this...

we walked into the same building, and who would have thought we'd land the job at the same time? was it destiny that we'd even get to the clinic at the same time of that day... we jive on a lot of things, you made me laugh on the most frustrating events on that damn company... whenever i feel so down and mad over my manager and/or seniors, you're just one message away... you were my one and only best friend on that damn company... we have decided to leave them, and find a new one, i was lucky to land the job on our dream company, and you got into a different one... despite the distance, communication never failed... i am not sure if i am really insensitive, or it is just the right thing... but i admit, i have turned you down several times... believing we're just friends, i turned my eyes onto somebody else... and telling you that i've finally found happiness, i thought you'd be happy for me... but you turned cold, and the communication almost faded... suddenly y...

pa'no nga bang magsulat? mula ng makilala ko ang twitter, nakalimutan ko na pa'no ang matinong blog writing... at mula ng mag-refresh ako ng german, namumurol na naman ang bulok ko na english... kinakabahan ako na pag nag-start ako ng classes sa saturday, mawala na ang english sa languages na carry ko gamitin... i miss writing real stories, real events, long narration, poetry, essays and short stories... i have made a promise to finish the novel, but i just can't, i hope this doesn't mean disturbed sleep all over again... ^_^

Today ’ s Ninoy Aquino day, and again, bound to work despite the holiday. But then, it is not a waste of time, because of such, I was able to see, at least even for few minutes, some religious celebration held at Paseo de Roxas here at Ayala Avenue, where Ninoy ’ s monument is placed. It is sort of like a prayer rally, and then ended with blessing the monument. And stupidity again, not really, I am just afraid to bring my phone downstairs, because earlier, when we were buying souvenir stuffs, there was some one who kept on following us, and Jena mentioned that he acted like wanting to take advantage of the crowd and steal whatever he can get. So, the second time we went down, I brought nothing but myself, hahaha! Anyway, a lot of cams are flashing around, I can grab one photo anytime, there are Flickr, Photobucket, Multiply and other cyber places these photos would be available. Funny thing is, I went to work early to finish one important document , but ended ...

ang tagal na din nung huli kong update dito... di sa wala ko time, but worse, wala ko bright idea to write... nakaka-frustrate, almost 1 month na ang writer's block ko... sana magbalik na ang lahat ng ideas sa utak ko... gusto ko ng magsulat!!!!

Hindi ko ramdam at di ko nakita ang paglakad mo patungong altar, busy kasi ako sa pagtatali ng singsing sa puso. Nangilid lang ang mga luha at nasabing “this is it na talaga” nang makita ko syang lumalakad palapit sa ‘yo. Panibagong kabanata na naman ng buhay mo, at meron na namang dapat haraping pagbabago, para sa ‘yo, at para sa amin. Unang dating ko pa lang sa probinsya nun, immigrant ako kumbaga. Bawal daw kasi sa akin ang polusyon ng lungsod, nun ko din kayo unang nakilala. Nahihiya pa nga ako kasi bago lang ako, yun pala, mga pinsan ko kayo. Tuwang tuwa kayo kasi nadagdagan na kalaro nyo. Yun nga lang, madami akong di kayang gawin… Pero di yun mahalaga sa ’yo. Ang dami mong alam na laro na pwede pala ako. Di iniinda ang init ng araw, takbo dito at takbo doon. Pag nadapa naman ako, takbo ka sa bahay at todo sumbong na nadapa ko. Iyak lang ako ng iyak sa sakit ng mertaylet na inilalagay sa sugat ko na ang tingin ko ay bituka ko na ang isinusuka palabas. Pero inaaliw mo pa din ako, ...

After months of being lost in the cyberspace, I decided to give back its life... Reason? Nothing, I just thought, "sayang ang mga naunang nasulat ko na..." Though a lot of posts were deleted, at least I was able to save 101 of it... And it's alive again... :)

Not only talking about U, but also, that poster I saw by SM Cinema, which is: Can't wait! Can't wait!!! I just wish there is enough justice given to that great novel... ;)

It is 30 minutes before Mothers' Day, and i just finished writing my mom her card. I know she have expected this already,  since every year she do get one from me on Mothers' Day, but I still managed to get her this one, because the message is a direct message of what might come in few years, since I am moving out of the house soon to enter another stage of my life. Also, this is the only time each year that I get very mushy towards her (in addition to her birthday), so I took the chance again! Honestly, this card was like it was written for me, one look at it last Thusday, I did not have to search for another one, it was all that I wanted to tell her, ending, I did not have much personal message written, the poem has said it all for me... "Happy Mothers' Day Mom, wherever I go, and whatever my achievements be, you will always have me, your little girl, forever and ever. I love you Mom..." Happy Mothers' Day to all moms out there too!

In fairness to the group naman, here’s the group picture of the cast. I think God has a reason why my camera was not able to save the group picture of the staff, that is where I am part of, and Kuya Erwin. And if I remember it right, I was standing right beside him. Thanks Kuya Philip for the 20 years of patience for the group that is composed of this kind of people, all of varying life style, and personality.

Before I went for vacation last Holy Week, I was so excited about a certain event, as in I guess, everyone can feel it on my choice of words, but it ’ s almost a week before I post another blog to tell a story about what has happened. I guess, after that, I am not just that excited. The play h as, as always, gone on smoothly, and many people cried. Kuya Chris is indeed great with the role as Jesus. I thought I won ’ t be that busy, but it was the other way around ( I even got my rashes after ). Me and my cousin went there at 7am (they did not have overnight rehearsal, I was there at 5am, but nobody around, so I went back home). Kids just had their breakfast at 7:30am and the old casts are not yet around (except for Kuya Charlie who was surprisingly earlier than me , for the first time, after my 9 years of stay with the group ! ) . Ate Gigi kept on sending me messages asking how everything is. Since she ’ s not yet around, I have to do the things she do, check every stage...
