Thank God for spur of the moment holidays. It's just exactly what we all need.
Murphy Strikes
Tuesday, October 19, 2010
CLASSES SUSPENDED?! And so Murphy decides to strike just when I was all set and ready for my (1) APMATH finals, (2) FINACC quiz, (3) FINACC final project paper, and (4) FINACC final project presentation. Stressful much? Although for item (2), I was just planning to wing it haha because I don't think I was able to completely absorb and understand the chapters by heart (and mind!). Lol. Nevertheless, I was fully prepared for today that was, that should have been "THE" day. Hindi ko alam if matutuwa ba ako or hindi. To think, I have been working my ass off over the weekend. Gosh I'm super psyched to get it over and done with already. I was supposed to just worry about FINACC finals next week and our group final paper in APMATH. Now that classes were suspended, I have 2 finals to worry about next week. Take note, that's on the same day and one after the other - literally magkasunod pa! And as for my presentation, it's of no use anymore. To think, I even volunteered! Minsan na nga lang ako magpaka-proactive, sablay pa. And! I have a nice powerpoint presentation prepared already. Tsk hassle. On the plus side, I "should" have a better chance of getting a kick ass grade in the finals - should being the operative word.
And oh, I hereby conclude that Murphy and I...we're not friends.
Finals
Sunday, October 17, 2010
I didn't have as much down time as I would've liked, hassle as it was, it's been a really productive weekend. So far I'm on schedule. It's all about proper time management. Hell week...here we go.
On another note,
1. I have just discovered the joys of iPad/iPhone games. It's addicting! You could play all day and forget time. Buti nalang busy ako, hehe. And oh, I still don't have an iPad or an iPhone. Yun yun eh. Lol.
2. I hope the typhoon doesn't pass through the Philippines anymore. I hope it dissolves in the ocean.
Monday, October 11, 2010
Today was a good day. Nothing extraordinary or exciting naman happened today, I even had to wake up really early. I was already in the office by 6:45 am. Imagine that. Naunahan ko pa si Manong Guard. Aba puwede na pang Guinness book of record yan! Haha. I'm super relieved that I was able to finish my deliverable on time. Medyo sablay, pero puwede na rin. It can never be perfect anyway, hehe. Hay the next two weeks are going to be stressful because it's Finals Week already. Ang bilis. It seems just like yesterday when I was just enrolling at Grad School. Anyways, I'm thankful for today. Sana everyday is a breeze nalang. Sana there will be more steady days like today...
Random Thoughts
Sunday, October 10, 2010
1. I'm loving One Republic's Good Life. Steady song. Positive vibes.
2. Finally! Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel's Life As We Know It is hitting the movie theaters. I'm really looking forward to watching it. It's been a while since my last feel good movie. More so, I like Josh Duhamel. He's super my type. I crush him. Sigh.
3. New discovery: Kit Kat with Haagen Daz coffee ice cream. Yum yum. Me like! I ran out of Hershey's Dark Chocolate Kisses, so I had to improvise. Hehe.
4. Type ko si Richard Hererra of TARA's Team Philippines. I normally don't like long haired guys though but this Richard guy, he's cute. Heehee. Hmm probably because he looks all sporty and athletic. Parang no frills, no fuss kind of guy siya, medyo manly din and at the same time, parang he's a nice guy - just the way I like my guy to be.
5. Ugh, I have to wake up really early tomorrow for work. I have a deliverable at 8:30 am. I hope I finish on time. Hmm paano kaya if I don't? Ayayay. Bahala na si Batman. Best effort it is.
6. On another note, lessons from today's Homily:
- Being grateful makes you a more positive person.
- Being grateful makes you a more positive person.
- Gratefulness opens you up to more graces.
- You can be grateful in more ways than one.
- You can be grateful in more ways than one.
So what are you thankful for?
FINACC
Tuesday, October 05, 2010
Yahoo I got 2.95 for my midterm standing in FINACC. Not bad. Really, not bad. Note to self: good job. Haha. I'm aiming for 3.5 for my final grade. Let's see if I can. Accounting is haaaard.
F1 Fever
Monday, September 27, 2010
Got the chance to watch F1 racing in Singapore over the weekend. I'm a converted fan. I have a better understanding and appreciation of the sport now. It's actually interesting. Go Red Bull! I'm all for Vettel and Webber. I like Ferrari next. I don't know why but I find athletes very appealing. I think I'm naturally attracted to athletes. I really don't know why. Hmm perhaps because they're fit and disciplined? Nyahaha. After my F1 experience, I so want to be a race car driver. Their lives are so much more exciting! I start to realize now more than ever that my life is waaay too boring. Haha. I've always dreamed of being a world class athlete - as in tipong at the top of the international rankings...ganung level. I wish my parents got me into a sport when I was still a kid. For me, the best job is that of an athlete because they get to do what they love and then they get paid for it!
Like: Red Mango
Wednesday, September 22, 2010
Sarap I was able to satisfy my Red Mango craving awhile ago. I'm in my Red Mango phase right now. Yeah I know I'm a late yoghurt bloomer. Nyahaha. My sister was asking me to choose between Red Mango and Haagen Dazs. Even I surprise myself by choosing Red Mango! Imagine...I turned down ice cream?! Hehe. For now, yoghurt wins. Just the way I like it, with crushed grahams, chocolate chips/bits, and strawberry or mango. I wish they'll open a Red Mango in Greenhills or one near the office. Hassle kasi. I think Eastwood lang yung easiest puntahan out of all the outlets.
Tuesday, September 21, 2010
Yehey I scored a 3.0 on my APMATH midterms. Woohooo! Sometimes it's okay to take it easy on the studying bit pala. Hindi ko naman pala kailangan icareer all the time. Relax lang dapat!
To All the Haters:
Monday, September 20, 2010
I'm not perfect. Yes, I have my faults and flaws. I'm not a saint either BUT thank God, I'm nothing like you. And I'll strive to stay away from the direction you're heading - seems like you're heading towards the self-destruction path eh. There's just way too much anger and negativity. Too toxic for me. Day in and day out, it's the same story. You suck the good vibes out of everyone. Seriously dude. I never want to be the person you're becoming. Never.
I don't have to put others down to make myself look good and to make myself feel important. It's enough knowing what I'm capable of, and what I can still improve on. Hindi ko na kailangan ipuna yung mga pagkakamali o pagkukulang ng ibang tao para maiangat lamang ang sarili ko o matakpan ang mga kahinaan ko. Hindi ko na kailangan magpasikat para lang pampalubag loob sa sarili ko. I am where I am now in my own right, with my own merits. I worked my ass off. You have no right to judge me because you don't know what I've been through and what I'm going through. Just because what I may be doing is different from what you're doing, just because my style is different from yours, it doesn't mean that you're better than me; in the same way, I recognize I'm not any better than you either. We're all different that way. Higit sa lahat, napaka importante ang pakikipagkapwa tao. And dear, it's definitely one thing you still need to learn. A person's goodness of heart and sincerity can be proven through consistency in thoughts, words and actions. As I've learned and as always stressed in my Business Communications class, RESPECT and SENSITIVITY are keys to business. You'll never make it, without it. Haters never win, that's for sure. As I've read somewhere, "to eliminate haters, you must first cleanse your heart of hate." And so, I leave you with peace. I'm no longer going to stoop down to your level. Never again.
"Haters don't really hate you, they hate themselves. You're a reflection of what they wish to be." Ayun naman pala eh. Haha!
P.S. The difference between us is I can takeover your work anytime anywhere. Duh it's purely common sense. Now I highly doubt you can do the kind of work that I do.
P.P.S. Bato bato sa langit...ang tamaan, guilty. Huwag magalit, ang magalit...pikon. Ang pikon, laging talo. Bleh! :P
Fashion Week
Thursday, September 16, 2010
And the top collections for Spring 2011 goes to...
Monique Lhuillier. She's a hands down winner on my list. Love love her style and dresses.
And my runner up award goes to Oscar de la Renta. Type ko rin collection niya. Classic, simple and elegant.

Okay it's time to get back on track. I just gotta will it. I can do this. FTW!
School Pains
Friday, September 10, 2010
I flunked my BUSCOM midterms. I feel bad because I was really excited about my topic. I thought I was prepared already but I guess not. Although I flunked, I think I have learned a LOT last night - personally, so many lessons learned and valuable ones at that. This is something that I'll charge to experience. This will surely help me improve moving forward. 4 minutes is 4 minutes. Keep it short and simple. I had 28 slides while most of my classmates had less than 10 slides! Talk about over preparing. Sheesh. So frustrating talaga. I overcomplicated my presentation. Grrrr talaga. Stress!! Oh well, til' my next presentation. There's a ton of presentations in Grad school anyway. I'm looking forward to my future presentations because I so want to do better. I need to redeem myself hehe. Hay naku I don't want to think about my midterms anymore. It's over and done with. I'm moving on now. Haha.
I have APMATH midterms this coming Saturday night. I don't feel like studying for it anymore. I'm just going to wing it. Hehe. Paano it's so frustrating when you prepare and you study and yet you still flunk! Nakakainis. So I'm not going to study anymore. It's open notes, open everything so I'm sure it's going to be really hard, anyway. I tried studying but it seems like my brain memory is already full. Wala na talaga pumapasok. Ang hirap! Hassle.
BUSCOM
Sunday, September 05, 2010
How do I fit all 28 slides in 4 minutes?! I've already done the math. 4 minutes = 240 seconds. 240 secs/28 slides = 8.5 seconds. So the question now is, how many sentences can I squeeze in 8.5 seconds!? Is it possible to squeeze in all your thoughts not to mention all the scientific explanation/data in just 2-3 sentences? Parang hindi ata. Shucks midterms grade ko lang naman ito diba. Hehe. Argh dilemma. Hmm...kailangan ko ng diskarte. Aaaha! Maybe I should think like a dude nalang? They're really good with their bola bola one liners. Aba...pwede! ;)
Power Play
Friday, September 03, 2010
Unfreakinbelievable. Huwow. It was totally unexpected. You're probably the strongest power player ever to have graced the corporate world. Magaling. You're a few of those who can make the impossible possible. I can't bilibit. We could've literally fallen off our chairs! It's a good thing though, we didn't. Nyehehe. However, it scares me to think if there's anything your powers can NOT do or reach. For now, I'm relieved that it was a good power play. My points to you, niiice one.
Random Thoughts

Haagen Daz's Coffee and Stawberry Ice Cream combination + Hersheys Dark Chocolate Kisses or Hersheys Chocolate Chip/Bits = PERFECT. Uber yummy. I just can't get enough. Gosh I finished a whole pint all to myself. Why is it so hard to say no to ice cream?! Argh weakness.
On another note, thank God for the long weekend. I think we all need occasional breaks from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. DE-STRESS. CHILL. RELAX. UNWIND. HAVE FUN (as per "your" definition of fun, not others'). DO NOTHING. NO WORRIES. FORGIVE AND FORGET last week's issues, mistakes and what not. BUM AROUND. HAVE A BREAK, HAVE A KITKAT (or Haagen Daz!). I think it's what we all need, seriously. It'll do everyone good in more ways than one. Read: Once in a while, it's OKAY to DO NOTHING. I just did for the past 3 days and I feel much better. I think the problem is masyado tayo nagpapakabusy. We're wired that way, I guess. Yung ba na kailangan may ginagawa ka kada minuto otherwise you feel super useless. Diba! Hehe. Well sometimes less is more. Go for quality over quantity. That is, don't go being a queen/jack of all trades and a master of none. (1) Set your priorities straight and (2) Proper time management is key. So if you've accomplished (1) and (2) then you'll really have time to do nothing! Right?!
Thank God for the long weekends because it makes procrastinating slightly okay. Haha yeah right. Oh well I really have to hit the books tomorrow. No more distractions. Promise. FINACC midterms is on Tuesday. Yikes. After over 5 years since graduation, I've discovered that studying is still such a pain in the butt! Ay nako talaga.
Super yay for new TV seasons. Oooh I can't wait for Vampire Diaries plus all the other series. Oh yeah TV addict in the house! Woot woot. Ugh I'm such a dork, hehe.
Part/Time
Thursday, July 29, 2010
I have a newfound respect for working students. Work and graduate school entails loads of effort. Seriously, you really gotta want to do it. You have to commit 101% to the whole process. You have to step up big time. It's hard to just coast along, especially if you're not one who would settle for mediocrity. Maybe sometimes you just have to give yourself a little push for that extra ounce of courage you need to get going. And sometimes, you gotta force yourself to go the extra mile no matter how much pain in the ass it means. I strongly believe that overcoming inertia is key to personal growth. As for myself, I've done the whole shooting for the stars bit already back in college. In short, nagsunog na ako ng kilay. I've paid my dues already. I graduated with honors. This time around, I'm not going to aim as high anymore; neither am I going to aim higher. Yeah, you heard me right. Don't judge me just yet. I'm not going to aim for the moon but it doesn't mean I'm going to just sail through either. I'm going to work hard still and hmmm...maybe I'm going to kick ass from time to time, haha or who knows, maybe I'd get lucky even. But more importantly, I'm definitely going to try to relax and enjoy the ride a wee bit more this time around. Heck, life's too short to be too serious all the time. Good luck to all of us part times at mabuhey tayo! Haha.
ID 100
Tuesday, July 06, 2010
My DLSU ID is missing. Huhuhu. I didn't even realize that I lost (sana misplaced lang) it already until just this afternoon when I was asked for an identification card by the manong guard. Grrr talaga. I'm bothered. I have to find it. Some people may find it silly but it's really important to me. It's something that I'm sentimental about and that I'm really proud of. Waaah! It can't be replaced na...
P.S.
Dear St. Anthony,
Please help me find my DLSU ID. You never fail me and I hope you'll still work your wonders on me. Thank you!
Amen.
[EDIT: 7:02 PM] July 18, 2010, Sunday
I found my ID! Hay salamat. I was planning to fix my room but tsk tsk I wasn't able to find time. I sort of just stumbled upon it. Ang galing talaga! Thank you St. Anthony! You really never fail.

Closing Chapters
Tuesday, June 08, 2010
Okay, I get it now. Reality just hit me. It hit me strong and hard, sort of like one of those in your face-blocks of bricks falling down on you-just got hit by a train moments. Right...those moooments. So yeah, it definitely hurts. I have feelings too, you know. Hindi naman ako manhid. I guess it was exactly what I needed. I had it coming anyway. Enough excuses to myself. It is what is is. I don't want to justify or rationalize anymore. And yes, I'm sincere when I say I'm actually happy and somewhat relieved for you. Now, it has officially sunk in and I'm so ready to move forward and forget about the past completely. So boys and girls, tomorrow and the days beyond will mark the start of a brand new beginning filled with more positivity and good vibes. And maybe hopefully, I'll eventually have my fair share of happy endings also.

My Super Crush
Monday, May 24, 2010
I have this super crush on Ian Somerhalder (i.e., he plays Damon in TVD). I heart him. I seriously want to meet him. I really wish! As in. Calling on God. I hope you're listening to me right now. Haha. He is my ultimate crush. I don't think I've ever felt this strongly about a celebrity. Okay fine, call it super infatuation. I really am super infatuated. Hmm...I don't think I've ever been a serious/hard core fan of anything or anyone for that matter. Well except now. I might as well sign up as president of his fan club. Lol.
Sunday, May 23, 2010
Just some of the many lessons learned today...
1. Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
2. Speak without offending, listen without defending.
3. The meanest people are the ones who need the most love.
4. Follow the 3R's - Respect for self. Respect for others. Responsibility for all your actions.
5. There's a thin line between being nice and a pushover or martyr.
6. There's also a thin line between being strong and a bully or manipulator.
7. Money is not the root of all evil but greed and/or lust for money is. Greed destroys. Money can't buy you happiness. Neither can it buy you proper manners nor can it buy you good character.
8. Never be afraid to fight for what is just, for what is right.
9. Character changes everything. Drink up and let the truth come out.
10. Leave the drunkard alone - not unless you want to make a complete fool out of yourself too.

Wow. I'm super thrilled. I got the results I was hoping for. Phew. Thank God! Positive results for me. Now I'm feeling sort of excited for things to come. It's time to start making things happen. This is my second shot. I can't fumble now. I have no expectations. I just want to make the most out of this new experience. This is it. I hope I do well. Oh yeah, I hope I'll have fun also.
Go Transformers
Monday, May 10, 2010
Crunch time - Gibo or Gordon. Tough choice, right? I went with Gordon down the wire, only because he has more experience and a track record that I can work with. I still believe in Gibo though. I'm praying really hard that either of the two wins. I don't want to sound too idealistic but I'm actually hopeful. I'm hopeful that real change is still possible and that there is still a future for our country. Boy and girls, we actually have a shot at being a progressive country once again with either Gibo or Gordon. Noynoy is all hype. He is just so overrated. He seems like an honest guy but I don't think he has the galing and diskarte to turn this country around. If any, all he has is his parents' legacy. And so, Gordon and Bayani it is. Now let the transformation begin...
As tweeted by Dj Mo Twister,
Friends, if the saying goes: "Everybody roots for the underdog", then let's do that tomorrow. Enough of the popular names, vote the most capable.

Tomorrow is THE day. I hope I do well. This is it. I have no more tricks left in my bag. As of the moment, this is my one and only shot at jumpstarting change in my life. Change should be good, especially at this time in my life. 2010...here we go!

The Rainbow Connection and Me
Wednesday, April 14, 2010
I'm a sucker for rainbows. I loooooove rainbows. It never fails to make my day. Rainbows are a rare sight and most of the time, you'd have to really pay attention and look up the skies to catch one, otherwise you'll miss it. A rainbow to me is a good sign. From the story of Noah's Ark, did you know that after the floods, the first rainbow appeared and it symbolized a new beginning and a promise by God that he would never do a similar thing again. And thus, people of our time now see the rainbow as a symbol of hope.
I saw one on my way home today from work.
It had a full arc by the time we got to Edsa. So nice! :)))
Hmmm...I wonder how many motorists out there noticed the rainbow as well. I guess only those who bothered to look up.
See You Soon Paris!
Sunday, March 21, 2010
Aaaah I love Paris. My first time in Paris felt so surreal. I super enjoyed Paris. No partying or major shopping involved even. You can already get by with their Hop On, Hop Off buses. It was such a joy for me to just walk around and enjoy the sights. Albeit I think our plush and uber comfy hotel was such a huge plus and largely contributed to our Paris experience. Heehee. Nevertheless, mababaw lang talaga kaligayahan ko. Simple joys it is. That's me to you. It's one of the few places that I seriously want to visit again. I thought to myself that someday I want to go back with the one I love or if I get lucky, sana with the love of my life. That is, if he still exists or if there's one for me in this lifetime. Okay fine, cheesy na kung cheesy. Hehe. If given the chance, I want to spend my honeymoon in Paris. I know it's going to be a long shot but yeah it has always been a dream of mine. Libre naman mangarap diba? Hehe. So...it was such a happy surprise our Paris trip is pushing through. No I'm not getting married. Well not yet anyway. I'm still praying for Mr. Right. Haha. Just the same, I still can't wait for Paris. I think it has been eons ago since I was excited about something. I think it's also a good time to be away from everything and hopefully start forgetting. So yey to Paris!
All Good Things Come to an End
Wednesday, March 17, 2010
You've lost that loving feeling. And I'm starting to lose it too. It's just kind of hard to miss somebody who you don't know anymore. You're the best and worst thing that's ever happened to me. No regrets. It was really really good while it lasted. It scares me to think that I might eventually forget how we used to be and that all will be forgotten just like that. Maybe it doesn't mean anything now. I don't know. It's doesn't matter anymore. I guess things happen for a reason. Tears eventually fade and one day everything will be exactly how it's supposed to be. It scares me to start over again but maybe this is for the best; letting you go. "It took a while for me to understand what love is, but it'll take forever to forget what it was like." I gotta learn to walk away and trust that everything will happen at just the right time, at just the right place, with just the right person.
"Love isn't love until you give it away, so give it wings and let it go, if it's meant to be it will find a way to fly right back to you."

Out of Touch
Saturday, March 06, 2010
Why does a week suddenly feel like months already? So yeah, it's been over a week. I think I'm starting to get it now. I have to stop caring. For real, this time. It's better this way. It's the only way for me to not get hurt anymore.
Angels Cry
I shouldn't have walked away
I would've stayed if you said
We could've made everything OK
But we just
Threw the blame back and forth
We treated love like a sport
The final blow hit so low
I'm still on the ground
I couldn't have prepared myself for this fall
Shattered in pieces curled on the floor
Super natural love conquers all
Remember we used to touch the sky
And
Lightning don't strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift
We let it drift
In a storm
Every night
I feel the angels cry
C'mon babe can't our love be revived
Bring it back and we goin' to make it right
I'm on the edge just tryin' to survive
As the angels cry
I thought we'd be forever and always
You were serenity
You took away the bad days
Didn't always treat you right
But it was OK
I do somethin' stupid
And you still stay with me
But you can only go for so long
Doing the one you claim to love wrong
Before too much is enough
You look up
Find your love gone
And
We were so good together
How come we could not weather
This storm and just do better
Why did we say goodbye
'Cause lightning don't strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift
We let it drift
In a storm
Now every night
I feel the angels cry
C'mon babe can't our love be revived
Bring it back and we goin' to make it right
I'm on the edge just tryin' to survive
As the angels cry
Baby I'm missin' you
Don't allow love to lose
We gotta ride it through
I'm reaching for you
Baby I'm missin' you
Don't allow love to lose
We gotta ride it through
I'm reaching for you
Lightning don't strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift
But we let it slip
In a storm
Every night
I feel the angels cry
Oh babe, the angels cry

Phew! Thank God I survived my 1st L25 experience. So who is L25? L25 is a special task force lang naman comprised of some of HSBC's top honchos. In other terms, the creme de la creme, cream of the crop, best of the best. Pressure?! Of course! Haha. It felt like I was back in college again defending my thesis in front of a panel or back in AIG's Camp David doing a presentation to the Regional bosses in Hong Kong and afterwards, the MANCOM in Manila. Yikes I remember again why this whole corporate ladder climb just isn't my thing. I'm so not fit for this kind of stuff. I'd rather live a normal and boring office life, hehe. Life's more simple that way. Now bakit ba kasi ako nagpaka-bibo kanina? It's so out of my character, really. I'm usually kebs about everything. So ayun...to the principal's office tuloy ako! Tsk. Oh well. If any, it was a learning experience. Once in a while, it can be good training also for me albeit it was so intimidating and nerve wracking. I have to learn how to confidently deal with top management at some point, right? Nonetheless, I try to absorb as much as I can from the whole experience and learn from the knowledge and wisdom of some of the industry's best. O diba! Leveling up it is.
Whatta Jerk

Arrogant and narcissistic guys are such a HUGE turn off. Ugh. Given that I may have my faults too, he still shouldn't have acted the way he did. His actions would've been more forgivable if he really was as good as he projects himself to be. Problem is, he's all bark and no bite. Puro salita. Puro hangin. Puro pasikat. Wala naman siya binatbat. Panay palakad-lakad lang sa office. He's not man enough to do all the heavy lifting himself or maybe (1) he just doesn't have the balls or (2) brains or (3) perhaps a combination of both. I would've helped you right away IF ONLY you were NICE. Read: N-I-C-E. That's all I'm asking. Can you actually blame me for not wanting to help you?! If you don't like how I do things then it's not my problem anymore. I have the prerogative to do as I wish. You cannot dictate my work. And if that's not acceptable to you then you might as well save us all the trouble and do it yourself. / End of Rant.

Thursday, February 18, 2010
Once upon a time, we swore not to say goodbye
Something got a hold of us and we changed
And then you sat alone in pride
and I sat at home and cried
How'd our fairytale just end up this way
We went round for round til' we knocked loved out
We were laying in the ring, not making a sound
And if that's a metaphor of you and I
Why is it so hard to say goodbye
I can't wait to hate you
Make you pain like I do
Still can't shake you off
I can't wait to break through
these emotional changes
Seems like such a lost cause
I can't wait to face you,
break you down so low
there's no place left to go
I can't wait to hate you
Ooh ohh
Ooh this was a love phenomenon no one could explain
And I wish I could press reset and feel that feeling again
I sit and press rewind
And watch us every night
Wanna pause it but I can't make it stay (Just gotta let it play)
We went round for round til' we knocked love out
We were laying in the ring, not making a sound
And if that's a metaphor of you and I
Why is it so hard to say goodbye
I can't wait to hate you
Make you pain like I do
Still can't shake you off
I can't wait to break through
these emotional changes
Seems like such a lost cause
I can't wait to face you,
break you down so low
there's no place left to go
I can't wait to hate you
Ooh ohh
No need to call my phone cause I changed my number today
Matter of fact I think I'm moving away (away)
Sorry the frustration's got me feeling away
And I just keep having one last thing to say
And I just wanna hold you,
touch you, feel you, be near you
I miss you baby baby baby
I'm tired of tryin' to fake through
But there's nothing I can do
Boy I can't wait to hate you
I can't wait to hate you
Make you pain like I do
Still can't shake you off
I can't wait to break through
these emotional changes
Seems like such a lost cause
I can't wait to face you
break you down so low
there's no place left to go
I can't wait to hate you baby
I can't wait to H-A-T-E- you
Cause right now I need you
Can't wait to make you go
Lent
Tuesday, February 16, 2010
I really want to do some sort of sacrifice this Holy Week. And so I've decided. I'm going to TRY to not eat meat starting Ash Wednesday up until Easter Sunday. Take note, try being the operative word. It's going to be tough especially if our Europe trip pushes through this coming March. It's hard to explain this feeling that I have. Basta I just feel I need to do this. I want to do this. I want to commit myself in the next 40 days. It's actually my first time. I hope I can do this! So so so...no more meat for me starting tomorrow. Ayayay. Wish me luck.
Happy Birthday

Love Is...
Sunday, February 14, 2010
"LOVE is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
- 1 Corinthians 13
Happy Valentine's Day! :)

Don't force anything. Everything happens at its own right timing with God's own purpose.
"For we walk by faith, not by sight." - 2 Corinthians 5:7
Having faith means becoming comfortable with not knowing and TRUSTING things will work out.
Hey Joe
Saturday, February 06, 2010
With the exception of David Beckham, I'm really not a big fan of long haired guys. I also don't get the fuss over those metrosexual/cover/pretty/girly boys. They just have zero appeal on me. I prefer the athletic/sporty boys. I like the laid back and funny ones - with a sense of humility and a hint of shyness to them. A really nice and sweet and honest to goodness straight-up guy with a rockin' sense of humor scores serious major points on my books. And oh! I want MAN-ly guys. However, this one Jonas brother is kinda growing on me. He's so not my usual type. Me thinks this is only more like a tiny and fleeting crush of mine. Teeheehee. Hmmm...whatcha think?
I kinda liked the glasses. It worked for me. Hihihi! :D

Looking forward to my movie date with Gerald Anderson and Kim Chiu tomorrow night. Yeah yeah...jologs na kung jologs but as per the trailer, the movie has the potential to be watch-worthy noh. Also looking forward to my Sango burger. I've been craving since two weeks ago. Thank God it's almost Friday! Phew.

In a game of poker, how do you play if you keep on folding? How can you possibly even win the game if for every freakin' round you fold, fold and did I say, fold?!
What do you do if the leadership is weak?
Do you...
a) Go with the flow a.k.a do nothing?
b) Make waves/Rock the boat a.k.a speak up?
c) Jump off the sinking ship a.k.a get out?
I did nothing for a year or two. So naturally, I got nothing.
I'm speaking up now. Still nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Zip. Bokya. Balot.
So the question now is...when do I get out?

Just when I least expected it, I got that extra lift today; not just from one person but two. It was just what I needed. Much thanks.
Sometimes people surprise me. In an unexpectedly good way, even. :)

Jump Start
Thursday, January 14, 2010
I don't want to do a repeat of 2009. I don't want another year of nothing. It's never easy to jump start change most especially if we've been stuck in a state of inertia for the longest time already. I've decided that 2010 is my make or break year. This is it. I'm going for gold. Haha olympics?!

Funny thing happened to me at Starbucks this morning...
The barista didn't want to give me a sticker for my drink because she already punched my order. Apparently, you have to show your card first before ordering. I didn't want to make a fuss about it and it was too early in the morning for me to be a bitch about it; although in fairness to me, I really am not the bitchy type. Anyways, I don't think I'd be able to complete all those Christmas drinks.
And so, there I was quietly waiting for my drink when the barista called me again. The stranger next in line is going to give me her stickers for the 5 drinks she ordered.
So in a span of minutes, I went from 1 to 0 to 5!
Moral lesson of the story: When a door closes, there's always a window open. Just gotta open our eyes, mind and most importantly, our hearts. Patience is always a virtue. :)
Day 2: Back to the Daily Grind
Wednesday, January 06, 2010
Today's horoscope is so accurate. I feel tired today despite my two cups of caffeine. I've decided to take the night off and cool down from all the stress. Phew!
On a separate note, I've been doing good on one of my new year resolutions - that is, no more stalking. I want to free my mind from senseless thinking, worrying and possible heartaches. Stalking doesn't help much on that end.
