i already mentioned at PEx that i have a lot to be thankful for this year. i guess i have to add your name on my list...Mark Twain said that joy had to be shared for it to be complete. on the other hand, i think this is one joy i'd like to keep to myself... ;)
May everyone have a JOYful Christmas!

The Best Of Me
So many years gone, still I remember
How did I ever let my heart believe
in one who never gave enough to me
And so many years gone,love that was so wrong
I can't forget the way it used to be
and how you changed the taste of love for me
You were my one more chance
I never thought I'd find
you were the one romance
I've always known in my mind
No one will ever touch me more
and I only hope that in return
I might have saved the best of me for you
And we'll have no ending if we can hold on
and I think I've come this far because of you
could be no other love but ours will do
You were my one more chance
I never thought I'd find
you were the one romance
I've always known in my mind
No one will ever touch me more
and I only hope that in return
I might have saved the best of me for you
No one will ever touch me more
and I only hope that in return
No matter how much we have to learn
I saved the best of me for you
now i know why...

Home Coming
i've returned home after four years of being away.
the family have grown although i still have seven siblings.
a brother-in-law has been added aside from my sister-in-law.
i now have two nephews and four nieces.
ma and pa are still there.
and i suffered an injury during general cleaning.
talk about having yourself taken to the ER just to get a tetanus toxoid.
...or just plain stupidity on my part.
so what are my plans for christmas? away from home, of course! ;)

"i'm trying to find evidence that you are none other than the infamous Ilong Ranger..." (haha! this is my vengeance against my team manager for making me join the Dress Like A Detective Contest. In fairness, I won, huh!)

Truly Amazing
the hongkong boys, vince and sam (why do i have a feeling that sam are true winners?), have won on the recently concluded amazing race asia 3: the toughest race ever.
.jpg)
second place is team philippines represented by geoff and tish. yes, i'm a filipino but i wasn't rooting for them to win mainly because i didn't like geoff's treatment of tisha throughout the race.
.jpg)
the underdogs, ida and tanya, came in third. now this is the team that i've been cheering on since AD and fuzz got eliminated. if only, they weren't stuck on that sand highway in oman, they might have came in first (bad luck?) and the flight they chose to proceed to thailand (the last leg of the race) had two stopovers which made a big difference on the final outcome.
.jpg)
anyway, congratulations to team phillipines! ;)

i got to see them after 8 long years. eight years of wondering where they are and how they're doing. of course i would have preferred to see only my closest buddies in college namely meann, she, freng, mj and maui (who came home from canada) but seeing all the others present for my birthday is not such a bad thing.
it wasn't at all like i feared for. almost all are there when i arrived at mcdonald's-quezon avenue at 2030H. i was hugged most of the time and got a few pat on the back. of course i'm still sarcastic as ever and a few of them became a victim of my quick tongue and naughty remarks.
we then proceeded to napolli's pizzeria in timog avenue and had dinner. then we went to a videoke place (also in timog) to await for my birthday. needless to say, i got an impromptu birthday celebration from them. nobody asked uncomfortable questions that i've been dreading but standing issues have been settled and i finally realized that i don't have to fear being rejected by any of them. although, i didn't blurt the words "guys, i'm gay" nobody seemed to mind that i had shorter hair than i used to wear in college. sometime during the night, i excused myself to go to the restroom along with she, freng and meann. i told them that i dreaded going to this reunion because i fear that i'd be ask some uncomfortable questions. they just shrugged it off and said that it's not that big a deal.
they still regard me as one of the boys but it's not something that i get uncomfortable anymore. later in the night i learned from she that meann was at first upset when she saw my pics at FS sporting the shortest haircut that they ever saw me wore. i could understand meann's reason for being upset. we share the same faith and she's one of the closest to me among our peers in college. but i got the tightest hug from her and mau before the night is over.
perhaps the most meanighful words i got is from sheryl: "mahal ka namin kahit ano ka pa. magkakaibigan pa rin tayo."
and a christmas party next month is in the offing. i just hope that everyone will have a spare time come december. now i'll look forward to every get-together and reunions because i know i can be myself and be comfortable with it.

Layout
i wanted to have that new look for my blog so i changed it to this with light green as the dominant color. although i loved the old template but i realized it's giving too much nostalgic feeling so i had to give it up and replaced it with this. not bad, i thought, considering that my blog has worn the old template for over a year now.
i don't have much time to do more but i want to add more gadgets in the future. i think i timed this right as tomorrow is a Big Day for me. i already sent my regards to my younger brother, Zack, whose celebrating his birthday today. i'll spend the weekend with my family, of course, but i'm looking forward for tonight. i'll be seeing my former classmates from pup after eight long years. sure is a long time. although, i have seen some of them after graduation, the meetings became few and far between as the years go by. i'm actually preparing myself to being ask some very uncomfortable questions but i hope the years have taught us more than we actually learned as "iskolar ng bayan".
this will be an opportunity for us to fill the gaps of what happened to us over the past eight years. what started as small get-together between friends might turn out as a class reunion. amazing how technology could reach almost everyone nowadays. excited na ako!

Obama
i couldn't help it. i thought i could let him pass me by. over the past few months that america has prepared to vote for their first african-american president, many filipinos has prayed, as well. especially those working in the call center industry. obama's policy to keep jobs within the US and for the americans has instilled fear among those who work in business process outsourcing, fearing that if obama gets elected, it may mean that booming call center industry may be pulled out and returned to the us.
even before i transferred from apac to dell, the us recession has brought uncertain future not only in the us but other countries around the globe. recently, DHL, one of the biggest logistics provider in the us has laid off over 9,000 employees in ohio, putting a stop for the said company's delivery operations within the us. the question is, have they pulled out their account in various call center companies here in the phillipines?
i've seen one of obama's speech before he was elected. yes, he is seriously contemplating of putting heavy taxes to those us companies who opted to do business offshore. but i still believe that no matter how high the tax would be, nothing would beat the low-cost workforce that they enjoy here. until then, i, along with others who work in the same industry as i am, will just have to hope for the best or until Obama transfers to the White House in January...abangan ang susunod na kabanata.

Follow Your Heart
lumalaki rin pala sila...may mga isip na...may mga sariling plano...may mga pangarap na gustong matupad...
come to think of it, sino bang mag-aakala na magkakaroon ako ng kapatid na may desire na mag-aral sa Bible school? mas okay na yung ganito. i'd be discreet and they can follow their dreams. i have no intention of going against their heart's desire. i'll be the nicest "big" sister and support them all the way. and just hope na sana, pagdating ng panahon, when all is said and done, they will still find it in their heart to be proud of me, the way i am to them.
"wag mong hayaan na mabuhay ka sa pagsunod sa gusto ng ibang tao para sayo. kapag ginawa mo yan, hindi ka magiging masaya. sundin mo kung anong gusto mo. kung maraming nagsasabi na ayaw nila sa ginagawa mo, problema na nila yun. ang importante, masaya ka. tumigil ka lang pag hindi ka na masaya."

From Uncle Bob
Funny. One of the words to describe the works of the infamous Bob Ong. He's come a long way from "Bakit Baliktad Magbasa ng Libro ang mga Pilipino", "A B N K K B S N P L Ako", "Alamat ng Gubat", "Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas", etc. Mention the name and for sure he's known. He's books are being read by young and old alike. Yes, the way he delivers the message sure is funny that you can't help but laugh when reading them but after reading the last page, it will get you thinking "oo nga, ano?! bakit nga kaya ganon?" I own just one of his books, but I've read most of it.Some forwarded text messages nowadays are lifted from his books.
This is just to share some of them:
"Kung hindi mo mahal and isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya.."
"Lahat naman ng tao sumeseryoso pag tinamaan ng pagmamahal. Yun nga lang, hindi lahat matibay para sa temptasyon."
"Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang taong malapit sayo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo."
"Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba. Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang. Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na."
"Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin."
"Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo. Dapat lumandi ka din."
"Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang."
"Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa."
"Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka.. Kaya quits lang."
"Bakit ba ayaw matulog ng mga bata sa tanghali? alam ba nilang pag natuto silang umibig e hindi na sila makakatulog kahit gusto nila?"
"Hindi lungkot o takot ang mahirap sa pag-iisa kundi ang pagtanggap na sa bilyon-bilyong tao sa mundo, wala man lang nakipaglaban upang makasama ka."
"Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lang yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!"
"Nalaman kong marami palang libreng lecture sa mundo, ikaw ang gagawa ng syllabus. Maraming teacher sa labas ng eskuwelahan, desisyon mo kung kanino ka magpapaturo. Lahat tayo enrolled ngayon sa isang university, maraming subject na mahirap, pero dahil libre, ikaw ang talo kung nag-drop ka. Isa-isa tayong ga-graduate, iba't-ibang paraan. tanging diploma ay ang mga alaala ng kung ano mang tulong o pagmamahal ang iniwan natin sa mundong pinangarap nating baguhin minsan..."
"Hikayatin mo lahat ng kakilala mo na magkaroon ng kahit isa man lang paboritong libro sa buhay nila. Dahil wala nang mas kawawa pa sa mga taong literado pero hindi nagbabasa."
"Dalawang dekada ka lang mag-aaral. kung 'di mo pagtityagaan, limang dekada ng kahirapan ang kapalit. sobrang lugi. kung alam lang 'yan ng mga kabataan, sa pananaw ko ehh walang gugustuhing umiwas sa eskwela."
"Nalaman kong hindi final exam ang passing rate ng buhay. hindi ito multiple choice, identification, true or false, enumeration or fill-in-the- blanks na sinasagutan kundi essay na isinusulat araw-araw. Huhusgahan ito hindi base sa kung tama o mali ang sagot, kundi base sa kung may kabuluhan ang mga isinulat o wala. Allowed ang erasures."
"Mangarap ka at abutin mo. Wag mong sisihin ang sira mong pamilya, palpak mong syota, pilay mong tuta, o mga lumilipad na ipis. Kung may pagkukulang sa'yo mga magulang mo, pwde kang manisi at maging rebelde. Tumigil ka sa pag-aaral, mag-asawa ka, mag-drugs ka, magpakulay ka ng buhok sa kili-kili. Sa banding huli, ikaw din ang biktima. Rebeldeng walang napatunayan at bait sa sarili."
"Tuparin ang mga pangarap. Obligasyon mo yan sa sarili mo. Kung gusto mo mang kumain ng balde-baldeng lupa para malagay ka sa Guinness Book of World Records at maipagmalaki ng bansa natin, sige lang. Nosi balasi. wag mong pansinin ang sasabihin ng mga taong susubok humarang sa'yo. Kung hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon, hindi pa rin tayo dapat nakatira sa jupiter ngayon. Pero hindi pa rin naman talaga tayo nakatira sa jupiter dahil nga hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon. Kita mo yung moral lesson?"
"Nalaman kong habang lumalaki ka, maraming beses kang madadapa. Bumangon ka man ulit o hindi, magpapatuloy ang buhay, iikot ang mundo, at mauubos ang oras."
"Wag magmadali sa pag-aasawa. Tatlo, lima , sampung taon sa hinaharap, mag-iiba pa ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong di pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang sa kaboses niya si Debbie Gibson o magaling mag-breakdance. Totoong mas importante ang kalooban ng tao higit anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan sa eskwelahan e nagmumukha ring pandesal. Maniwala ka."
"Ayokong nasasanay sa mga bagay na pwede namang wala sa buhay ko."
"Hinahanap mo nga ba ako o ang kawalan ko?"
"Hindi dahil sa hindi mo naiintindihan ang isang bagay ay kasinungalingan na ito. at hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohanan. "
"Sabi nila, sa kahit ano raw problema, isang tao lang ang makakatulong sa'yo - ang sarili mo. Tama sila. Isinuplong ako ng sarili ko. Kaya siguro namigay ng konsyensya ang Diyos, alam niyang hindi sa lahat ng oras e gumagana ang utak ng tao."
"Obligasyon kong maglayag, karapatan kong pumunta sa kung saan ko gusto, responsibilidad ko ang buhay ko."
"Masama akong tao, tulad mo, sa parehong paraan na mabuti kang tao, tulad ko."
"Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala."
"Iba ang walang ginagawa sa gumagawa ng wala."
"Iba ang informal grammar sa mali!!!"
"Pare, isa kang totoong tao at walang halong kasinungalingan. In English, FACT you, pare. Totoo ka. In English, FACT you!"
This is just to share some of them:
"Kung hindi mo mahal and isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya.."
"Lahat naman ng tao sumeseryoso pag tinamaan ng pagmamahal. Yun nga lang, hindi lahat matibay para sa temptasyon."

"Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo. Dapat lumandi ka din."
"Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang."
"Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa."
"Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka.. Kaya quits lang."
"Bakit ba ayaw matulog ng mga bata sa tanghali? alam ba nilang pag natuto silang umibig e hindi na sila makakatulog kahit gusto nila?"

"Masama akong tao, tulad mo, sa parehong paraan na mabuti kang tao, tulad ko."
"Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala."
"Iba ang walang ginagawa sa gumagawa ng wala."
"Iba ang informal grammar sa mali!!!"
"Pare, isa kang totoong tao at walang halong kasinungalingan. In English, FACT you, pare. Totoo ka. In English, FACT you!"

Blessing In The Sky
how many times have I heard the cliche "blessing in disguise"? oh, too many times already. eversince i was a child (i purposefully avoided using the word "little"), i have heard the phrase being used many times over. and until now, i never realized how true it is...
sometime ago, i received a text message saying "people change because of two reasons: either they have grown enough that they want to or they've been hurt enough that they have to". how can you ever place someone whose been with you since childhood growing up before your eyes? when you have elder brothers whom you feel are jealous of your achievements that they couldn't hide their insecurities, you learn to ignore them. because of that, you grow apart and you treat them like strangers.the same brother who once told me, "bakit mas pinapahalagahan mo yung mga kaibigan kesa saken? kapatid mo ako, ah!" oh, he was drunk then. i don't know if he meant it but i never believe that drunk people don't know what they are doing.
my second eldest bro and i is under a year apart. he was born jan 1978 and 11 months later, i was conceived. in my childhood days, i remember i always played with him. he taught me how to play every boys' game that you can think of (text, jolens, kotse-kotsehan, sipa, etc.) and i've always loved following him around. he became a father at 17 and that's also the time that we started to drift apart. he started grew fond of peers and vices that i grew to hate the way he always leave his young wife and even younger children behind. i grew to hate him and everything he stands for. how can you love an able-bodied man, in the prime of life who doesn't even try to land a job to feed his family? i guess, only his wife accepted him...and my parents.
am i jealous of him? yes, i am. he's the black sheep of the family and yet, my father cried upon learning that he won't be coming home because he decided to live with his wife at 16.he can never stay at work for a long period of time and yet my parents fed his children even to a point of sending them to school despite the fact that i have younger siblings who needed the same attention.
we never really thought that he'd outgrow his childish notion of blaming our parents for what became of him. and yet, something happened. and that's how i realized what blessing in disguise mean. have i ever experience that? oh, yes. i'm so young then. he and i were both presented with the same situation. the only difference was that i rose to the challenge. of course, there are times that i cried my heart alone because i felt like no one could understand but i persevered. and he didn't. that was then. now, i can see the change in him. he's more calm with himself, more responsible with his family, more mature in dealing with everything else.and i'm glad that it didn't take him a lifetime to realize it.
in life's highway, you will be presented with a situation on which there can be no turning back. it will be a situation so tight that you wouldn't know where to turn. a confrontation so sudden that you'll be left with no choice but to face it...but that could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Never Better...
What a lovely surprise to discover how unlonely being alone can be. -- Ellen Burstyn

physically off
it was the first time that i joined a DIS' community service activity last saturday. since i transferred to DIS last february, i wanted so much to join the community service but my schedule won't allow me. aside from that, i hated going without anyone i know. last saturday, i had two other team mates with me, thus, i happily signed up for it. we were supposed to help repaint a building of QCHS. we arrived there a bit late as we belong to the second batch of helpers, thus, instead of repainting, we were assigned to sweep the school quadrangle. this, i found out, is no easy task because it's been a long time since i a house backyard let alone a school quadrangle! i'm sweeping right in the middle of QCHS quadrangle at 9AM. we swept the ground for about an hour and i realized then how physically unfit i was because during lunch, my left hand was shaking. imagine my embarassment bringing food to my mouth with the spoon shaking?
the rest of the weekend was spent with my family in kalookan. on monday morning, i asked my older sister if we could go to balintawak market to purchase veggies. she happily obliged but what i didn't realize is that balintawak market is famous for its bulk orders. by the time i remembered that, it was too late to back out. so we ended up buying several kilos of talong, ampalaya, kalabasa, sitaw, etc. we decided to just walk back from the market to the tricycle terminal and being a gentlewoman, i carried the bigger shopping bag. by the time we got the footbridge, i was heavily perspiring and barely able to catch my breath. when we got home, my sister kept teasing me about it saying that i lost several pounds of weight because of that "carrying" activity.
based on those two activities, i've come to realize how physically unfit i am. i asked my cousin if he'd like to be my badminton buddy but he couldn't do it as our schedules won't match. i've been looking for a badminton buddy here in the office and hopefully i could find someone whom i can play with even for just once a week. my mother is urging me to enroll to a gym (DIS employees have discount with fitness first) but i don't want to stretch my muscles doing that. so as long as i haven't found a badminton buddy, i'm afraid i'll continue to suffer...tsk tsk.

Scary!
I got the biggest scare 30 minutes after having lunch at work. I admit I haven't been watchful of my food intake despite the fact that my waistline keeps growing for the past several months. I always thought it was a good thing because compared to my body frame six months ago, my build is starting to grow (horizontally speaking).
However, last night, 30 minutes after having lunch of grilled liempo, one and a half cup of rice and buttered tofu and mushroom, I suddenly felt dizzy to a point that I no longer want to raise my head anymore. High blood is a common disease among employees doing the graveyard shift so I'm quite scared at that point, realizing that I wouldn't want to be branded as another high-blooded employee.
So I asked permission to go to the clinic and have my blood pressure checked. The nurse is quite understanding of my situation and immediately took my BP. She said it's still normal (at 120/70) but she asked when I had my last eye check up. I answered last year and added that I hadn't changed the grade of my lenses. She recommended that I go see a doctor as the headache may have been caused by incorrect eye grade. Now I'm more scared because there's a very big chance that my performance bonus will go towards purchasing a new pair of eyeglasses. *sigh*

Morning Thoughts
When asked with a question that you don't want to answer, it's best to reply with another question. However, learn that this is not a good habit. Know how to say "no" than to keep the other person guessing.
Destiny can be changed with each decision and choices you make. But it is always better not to exert effort in finding out what Fate has in store for you. It's not bad to be surprised every now and then, this is the reason why we are given free will and emotion. The first to make our own decisions, the second to suffer the consequences.
It's best to be prepared to all eventuality than be caught unaware. Expect the unexpected and accept things you cannot change.
Surround yourself with people with whom you could learn something. However, choose only a few that you can trust. Be wary with those who tries to create impression that they are kind or nice.
Be joyful in giving. Never expect anything in return. Always remember that most people would only call on you if they need something.
A true friend never count the costs, never measure the hours, and never compare notes. Love is not option. You only feel it and follow where it leads you. No matter how you hide it, it will manifest itself thru your actions even if you deny it. Love is not a decision. You can never choose with whom you'll fall inlove with. Life would have been much simpler if you could, but love itself will lose it's magic.

Friends Forever
"Once a friend, always a friend."
I hear those words often. Or maybe it's just me because I always have that romantic (?) notion that friendships are meant to last forever. Oh, well! Me and my idealistic ideas...
I tend to be a demanding friend, sometimes, even demanding more attention than my friends' girlfriends. I just like having them around me. Maybe because it's more easier for me to open up with them than other people. Often, some people would call me their friend but I hardly open up to them. In return, I want to be in on every aspect of their life. Unfair? Perhaps. It's just me.
=======================
09-11 ngayon. Its been a few years since those terrorist hi-jacked a plane and crashed them into NY twin towers. kalungkot pag napapanood ko yung re-run ng "friends" kasi they often have shots of the manhattan skyline and those towers can be seen on most of their episodes.

Desired Things
DESIDERATA by Max Ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
This shall serve as a reminder to myself that there is more to life than material blessings...

Got to be There
If I could paint the sky with a million colors,
If I could fly into space and cross a hundred rivers and oceans,
If I could live thru time and defy death,
If I could have the power to command anyone and anything in the face of the earth,
Then, none of them would matter unless I am with you.
The need is still there...I just want you here.
Or I have to be there...

I don't know if there really is a Becky Ong. For all I know, my friend was just teasing me when she sent this message but what caught my attention is the description "bading na brother ni Bob Ong". Well, I am familiar with Bob Ong, of course. I have read several of his books and he's one guy who likes doing satirical narration to drive home a point. Often though, he uses plain sentences in his books which makes it appealing to simple folks, even kids...so, Becky Ong's Words of Wisdom:
Hindi lahat ng gwapo/maganda sa picture eh gwapo/maganda talaga. Merong mga photogenic lang talaga. At karamihan eh dinadaan sa powder, lighting, angle at Adobe Photoshop
>>> meaning - ask for a film negative
Wag ng choosy. Lalo na kung wala ka namang masyadong choices. Arte ka pa?
>>> meaning - grab the first person you see...
A smiley is not just a smiley.
>>> meaning - add a sentence to be understood clearly.
Madalas ang "wrong sent" ay hindi naman talaga "wrong sent" at ang blank text ay di napindot lang. Ganyan magpa-pansin ang ayaw mag-first move.
>>> meaning - ignore it.
Hindi porke't madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text ng wantusawa eh may gusto na sayo at magkakatuluyan kayo.
>>> that sentence is not yet finished. continue:
Meron lang talagang mga tao na sadyang friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall o paasa.
>>> i agree.
Walang matinong jowa na sa G4M nakukuha.
>>> yun na!

Ramblings
Nag-iisip ka na naman. Nalilimutan mo na naman yung mga bagay na mas mahalaga.
Ang drama yung nagaganap sa totoong buhay. Yung nararanasan ng mga taong humihinga at nag-iisip na kagaya mo.
Hindi mo madarama ang hinagpis at lungkot sa mga napapanood sa sine o nakikita sa TV. Oo, malamang mag-uukol ka ng isang patak ng luha o maghihimutok ka sa naranasan nila. Pero mas mapait pa rin pala pag ikaw ang nakaranas. Pag ikaw na ang nakadama, minsan mas gusto mo nang kalimutan ang sakit.
Mas madaling magkunwari na masaya ka kasi madalas hindi tinatanong ng mga tao kung bakit ka masaya. Mas maraming tanong pag nakikita ka nilang malungkot at kailangan ng mahabang paliwanag pag nakita ka nilang lumuha.
Sabi nila, yung mga malalim na sugat, mas matagal daw maghilom. Oo, magsasara ang sugat pero kikirot pa rin pag malamig ang panahon.
Hindi sapat na magmahal ka lang. Dapat ipadama mo. Dapat ipaalam mo. Dapat handa kang tanggapin na baka hindi kayo pareho ng nararamdaman. Kung pareho man kayo ng nararamdaman sa isa't isa, dapat handa kang tangggapin kung hanggang saan lang yung kaya nyang iukol na panahon at oras para sayo. Wag mong hingiin sa kanya ang lahat-lahat dahil walang taong nais na matali sa isang tao na baka balang araw, iiwan din sya.
Magmahal ka pero wag kang maghangad na tutumbasan nya yung pagmamahal mo. Kung mapasok ka sa isang relasyon, lagi mong tandaan na maaaring yung isa handang ibigay ang lahat samantalang yung isa naman ay hindi. Wag mong ikumpara ang handa mong ibigay sa kaya nyang iukol. Ang mahalaga, ibinigay mo lahat. Kung hindi pa sapat yun para sa kanya, hindi mo na kasalanan yun.
Wag kang matakot magmahal o umibig. Wag mong isipin na masasaktan ka. Wag mong isipin na baka iiwan ka nya. Wag mong isipin yung bukas. Isipin mo yung ngayon, ikaw at sya.

I. Each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves.
II. Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their ten things and post these rules.
III. At the end of your blog, you need to choose ten people to get tagged and list their names.
IV. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.
***Mahirap ata ito...isang habit lang ang naiisip ko e...pero try ko pa rin***
1. Mahilig ako magpatunog ng daliri sa dalawang kamay kapag nag-iisip o tipong walang magawa. Bad habit but something that I can't overcome.
2. I've got to have a blanket covering my feet when I sleep. I won't be able to sleep if I don't feel that my feet is covered. I also don't like it if it's too dry. In short, I need something to rub my feet against so that it would sweat a little. I like the warmth.
3. Among my first four siblings, I'm the only one born in a hospital in Surigao del Sur. My eldest bro was born in Manila, my ate and my other kuya was born at home...
4. I never studied on a private school because of my family's financial situation when I was still a student. Local grade school, high school in QC and a state U for my degree.
5. I can eat hilaw na mangga with Coke. I can tolerate tequila more than beer. I hate eating without patis or bagoong isda. Perhaps because I consider myself an Ilocano even if I was born in Mindanao.
6. I have a tendency to buy things in bulk even if it's not necessary. I make inventory of what I have at home and usually buy them before they ran out even if there's still plenty of it in stock.
7. I can go to a moviehouse alone. I'd prefer to have myself as company than having to bear a noisy companion.
8. I have a ring which I never take off from my finger since I got it. There are some who asked if they could have it but I often refuse.
9. I used to hate crowds and rock music. I often describe myself as an introvert person. Nowadays, I could go out to meet people whom I barely know...but I still hate rock music...
10. Given my sexual orientation, I still dream of having my own kid. A baby whose my own flesh and blood. It's still a dream but I'm hoping it will come true in the near future... (hehe!)

3. Among my first four siblings, I'm the only one born in a hospital in Surigao del Sur. My eldest bro was born in Manila, my ate and my other kuya was born at home...
4. I never studied on a private school because of my family's financial situation when I was still a student. Local grade school, high school in QC and a state U for my degree.
5. I can eat hilaw na mangga with Coke. I can tolerate tequila more than beer. I hate eating without patis or bagoong isda. Perhaps because I consider myself an Ilocano even if I was born in Mindanao.
6. I have a tendency to buy things in bulk even if it's not necessary. I make inventory of what I have at home and usually buy them before they ran out even if there's still plenty of it in stock.
7. I can go to a moviehouse alone. I'd prefer to have myself as company than having to bear a noisy companion.
8. I have a ring which I never take off from my finger since I got it. There are some who asked if they could have it but I often refuse.
9. I used to hate crowds and rock music. I often describe myself as an introvert person. Nowadays, I could go out to meet people whom I barely know...but I still hate rock music...
10. Given my sexual orientation, I still dream of having my own kid. A baby whose my own flesh and blood. It's still a dream but I'm hoping it will come true in the near future... (hehe!)

Reincarnation
Being raised a Born Again Christian, I don't really believe in reincarnation. I still believe that we only line once and after that, if we do get reincarnated (if that's what you call it), we go to another place but not here. However, following a thread on Lesbit, I found this link and got this result:
Your past life diagnosis:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know how you feel about it, but you were male in your last earthly incarnation.You were born somewhere in the territory of modern Turkey around the year 1350. Your profession was that of a librarian, priest or keeper of tribal relics.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
You always liked to travel and to investigate. You could have been a detective or a spy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:
Your lesson is the development and expansion of your mental consciousness. Find a good teacher and spend a good part of your time and energy on learning from his wisdom.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you remember now?
When I got this result, the first thing that crossed my mind was: Am I reliving my past life or am I trying to pattern my present life to the previous one? Hmn...I wonder how was my love life back then?

Rainy Day Blues
Sabi nila, ang puso daw marunong mag-adjust depende situation na kinakaharap. oo, masasaktan, luluksa o malulungkot pero pagkatapos ng lahat ng yan, makakahanap ng paraan para malimutan ang lahat. para mabigyang daan uli ang saya. ang masasabi ko lang: KASINUNGALINGAN! hindi ang puso ang magdidikta ng nararamdaman. depende pa rin sa iniisip mo. kung ang puso, madaling lumimot ang isip hindi. at yun ang mas nakakalungkot (emote mode kasi maulan)...
1.Latest na na-realize mo?
- na lahat ng bagay nagbabago. na kahit gaano ka ka-secure o kasigurado sa isang tao, somewhere along the way, may gagawin sya na ikagugulat mo. kaya mas maganda to expect the unexpected. para pag nangyari na, hindi ka masyadong madi-dissapoint.
2. Dapat gawin pag nalulungkot?
- humanap ng magagawang kapaki-pakinabang, hindi yung nag-iisip ng isasagot sa mga ganitong survey.
3. Pangarap mong gawin na hindi mo pa nagagawa?
- maglaro sa snow.
4. Favorite food?

10. Isang bagay na pag-iipunan mo nang husto?
- bahay at lupa.
11. Gagawin mo sa susunod mong birthday?

Gays vs Lesbians
I have a gay male friend who wonders why it seems that all lesbians seem to be friends when they see or meet other lesbians. He told me once: "andami mong kakilalang tibo dito...lagi kang may kabatian at kung sinu-sinong kinakawayan mo...bakit kayong mga tomboy para kayong may asosasyon? bakit kaming mga bakla pag nagkita-kita nagtatarayan?" Then, he said: "nagpapagandahan kasi kami." I replied: "mga bakla kasi kayo!" ;)

Uninspired
At this very minute, it's way past my shift. I'm free to leave the office at 0730H but I rendered overtime for an hour. After the OT, I'm still here, browsing the Net.
No reason to go home early when you live alone. Actually, I have my bestfriend with me but she'll be long gone when I get home so might as well stay in the office until I seek the comfort of my bed.
No rush to come back home. I thought it would be greatly easier when your gone but then, as all other things in my life, I'm wrong (again). So what? We've been apart for so long, I've completely forgotten how it was to live under the same roof with you. But this time, I think the parting is final. You will be gone for who knows until when. And the widest ocean will keep us apart.
I guess it was my fault. I shouldn't have insisted on so many things. You were so easy to persuade anyway so I didn't have much of a hard time convincing you. I just wish now that I've turned on all my charms so that you changed your mind about leaving...
But just like any parting, I look forward to the day of seeing you once again. Until then, please tell me you'll wait. I'll follow you as soon as I can... ;)

Paglisan
I guess, I've been taking you for granted for so long.
Never thought I'll miss you when you're gone.
Now I'll never know when I will have to wait,
To see you again, hear your voice, touch your face.

Free Time
Finally, I have an avail time from calls. I only have few cases, even fewer follow-ups today so I'm thinking of going "honda" (meaning "on the dot" or i will leave the office at exactly 0730H). hopefully, no more calls will go through *fingers-crossed*.

A Thousand News
These are two of the major news over the weekend:
*** Bill Gates exits Microsoft ***
*** Manny Pacquiao defeats Diaz - captures WBC lightweight championship crown ***
At least, iba naman ang headline...hindi yung puro victims ng Sulpicio or rising cost of commodities, fuel or electricity charges...
Eto pa pala: lumuwag daw ang traffic sa Metro Manila dahil konti na lang sa mga kababayan ang nagko-kotse dahil sa taas ng gas. Tsk, tsk! Good news ba 'to o bad news?!?
==============================
I've had the chance of watching Rome the series from Season 1 to 2 (DVD marathon na naman over the weekend). I've been looking for it since last year but then no one seems to know about it. Mas sikat pa rin ang CSI, Heroes at Supernatural dito sa 'Pinas kesa sa period series na ito. Given my passion for epic novels, no wonder I was attracted to this EPIC series. Superb casts, excellent acting and great costumes made this a memorable series. My recent acquisition is The Tudors Season I, capturing the life of King Henry VIII although I haven't started it yet. It was produced by the same production outfit who gave us The L Word which means there will be lots of, uhm, sexy scenes in it (hindi ko alam kasi hindi ko pa naumpisahan).

Back to Work
New team...new team mates...another beginning...another headache!
I'm still waiting so I could use Sharon's line "I care about my job, sir. I care about you." Hehe! Classic! Hindi pahuhuli sa line nya na "I was never your partner, I'm just your wife kaya hindi mo ako nirerespeto" sa Madrasta.
Speaking of movies, nag-movie hopping ako after my shift last Saturday. I cried with "Caregiver" first. Then, i went to watch "The Incredible Hulk". I love Edward Norton eversince I saw him in American History X but the role of the Hulk is not for him. Eric Bana carried it well kahit hindi sya masyado magaling umarte on the first installment. Or perhaps nasanay lang ako that Edward Norton always gets off-beat roles...A good movie though (but not great). It gives us something to look forward to, specially when Robert Downey Jr (aka Tony Stark - Ironman) appeared towards the end of the movie and said "we're creating a team"...which means that he and Norton (perhaps) will be together in a future movie...

Death Note
Very dark and gothic but very interesting anime, nonetheless. The plot is surprising and full of twist especially Season 1. The mind battle between the protagonist/antagonist, Light (a.k.a. Kira) and Ryuzaki (the so-called number 1 detective in the world) is quite fascinating.
In the end of Season 1, Light outwitted by carefully planning his moves. However, he was eventually discovered in Season 2 by L's successor, no less.
What's interesting in this anime is Light, the son pf a police officer, believes that peace could be achieved by judging and killing criminals. I guess, the saying "innocent until proven guilty" does not work for him. Being fortunate enough (?) to get hold of the powerful Death Note, he saw himself as the God of the New World because he could kill people merely by writing their names on the Death Note. Ryuzaki is the guy whose out to get him though...
I won't bother with the gory details, lest i would take away excitement of some who hasn't seen the ending *wink*. One thing is certain, this anime is so entertaining but don't watch at night...you might see a shinigami watching it along with you...hehe...

More Photos from Potipot
Last time I fell inlove with a place was when I was on top of Siocon, Zamboanga (basta wag mo lang pansinin yung minahan). This time, I can tell that this is one place I want to come back to...in the words of Prince, "better than Galera. almost like Bora..."
Now, tell me...who wouldn't fall inlove with that?
Now, tell me...who wouldn't fall inlove with that?

Stress Out!
It is our third week in Transition Q at Dell. I'm beginning to be stressed out, not with the volume of calls (we're only expected to receive 11 calls per 8-hour shift) but with the kind of customers I'm speaking to. Hah, who says that sitting 8 hours with phone in hand and a desktop system in front of you is an easy job? Being in customer service, you will hear lots of complaints and out-of-this-world requests from demanding customers. Especially if you're a CSA for a multi-national company like ours.
Today's shift has taken it's toll on me. My first caller immediately asked for a manager, the second one is a dissatisfied customer while the third one requested for a credit return. And that's just in the first half of the day. However, I received an email from a customer whom I assisted a few days earlier that really made my day! His email goes:
Oh, well! That really kept me going the rest of the day, although my team mates are teasing me that the customer might be a relative from the US. Hehe.
Relaxation after a heavy week! Zambales here I come!!!

I wanted to let you know that I received the Dell SC430 server today! I was very surprised that you were able to expedite the production and shipment. This will allow us to deliver our projects on time and avoid working late hours on Tuesday
As a small IT services business, I rely on Dell’s equipment to deliver practical solutions to my customers. Your desire to help beyond a normal customer services protocol helped my business tremendously. It will allow me to continue providing great service to my customers on time.
You are a great asset to your team and company. Bottomline: because of your great service, Dell was able to keep the order (ie revenue), kept your customer base instead of looking for alternatives like HP! It’s amazing how someone like you can simply turn a very frustrated customer into a happy customer. Your professionalism is much appreciated, definitely a great asset for the company!
Oh, well! That really kept me going the rest of the day, although my team mates are teasing me that the customer might be a relative from the US. Hehe.

Loving Someone or Being Inlove with Someone?
Funnny, but I definitely remember arguing with an old friend about this topic. And I definitely remember saying that being inlove is much deeper than loving someone. I always say that you are capable of loving everyone but you'll be inlove with just one person...The article below was emailed to me by a close friend. The author was not named on the email but I agree to some points of the article. Whoever the author of this article was, I hope he'll forgive me if I made some corrections, not grammatically, though. I just had to put some question marks and periods in place so that the general thought of the article could be emphasized. Everything else is copied as is...
------------------
INLOVE ka ba or LOVE mo sya? Akala ko dati pareho lang pero iba pala!! Basahin para
maliwanagan naman tayo.
It's definitely different when you love someone and when you're inlove with someone.
Explanation:
Alin nga ba ang mas malalim? Loving someone or Being in love with someone? Marami sa atin ang na-confuse tungkol dito.
Ikaw ba ay may girlfriend o boyfriend ngayon? Mahal mo ba siya pero parang may isang
tao na parang mahalaga din sayo? O may mahal ka na akala mo eh mahal mo nga siya
pero meron ka pa rin isang tao na minamahal ng totoo?
Kapag love mo ang isang tao masaya ka...Feeling mo ok na ang lahat...Pero ang ma-inlove ka, ang siyang pinakamasakit sa lahat! Kasi ang mga taong inlove ay ang mga
taong ngsasakripisyo at nagpaparaya.
Teka bakit ka nga ba nagpaparaya? Dahil ba hindi ka niya mahal o dahil hindi ka
siguradong ok lang sa kanya? Kung yan ang dahilan mo, walang duda na inlove
ka nga sa kanya. Kasi iniisip mo kung anong meron kayo sa ngayon ang tanging mahalaga at kuntento ka na.
Pero isipin mo, paano kung mawala ang taong yun at talagang hindi na kayo mag-usap at
magkita, kaya mo ba? Paano naman kung sayo siya inlove at ibinigay niya ang lahat para sayo pero hindi mo napahalagahan ang lahat ng ito kaagad? Paano kung isang araw naguluhan na siya sayo ng husto at maisipang lumayo na lang? Paano kung sa sobrang pagiging iba mo sa kanya di ka na niya kausapin at tuldukan na niya ng tuluyan kung ano na ang meron kayo? Then bigla mong na realize kung gaano ka importante sayo ang bawat isa kaya lang wala na siya! Kaya mo ba?
Kung hindi ang sagot mo, malinaw na inlove ka nga...
Paano naman pag mahal mo lang? Kapag mahal mo lang, alam mo na palagi kang may choice, ayaw mo siyang mawala dahil alam mong wala kang ipapalit. Yung masaya ka sa kanya pero sa gabi hindi naman siya ang iniisip mo. Mahal mo siya pero aminado ka sa
sarili mo na balang araw hindi siya ang pakakasalan mo. Mahal mo siya pero ang puso mo hindi lang pra sa kanya...Mahal mo at masasaktan ka pagnawala siya pero alam mo na kaya mo yun.
Ngayon anong nararamdaman mo ngayon: DO YOU LOVE SOMEONE or YOU'RE INLOVE WITH SOMEONE?
Isang araw magigising ka na lang na INLOVE ka na nga pero kahit anong gawin mo ay huli na. Dahil maaaring yung taong INLOVE din sayo ay wala na pala.
Tandaan mo: Masyadong mapaglaro ang puso huwag tayo magpaloko!!!
We learn to love someone pero minsan lang dumating sa atin ang pagkakataong ma-inlove!!! Kaya kapag dumating ito, ano ang gagawin mo?

Attitude with Kenji
==================
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string that we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you………We are in charge of our Attitudes." - Charles Swindoll

Walang Sugat
I have a quote that I always remember which goes: "time does not heal the wound nor help you forget the person. time only numbs the pain and blurs the memories." Now how is this quote related to my article? It's not but it is. (magulo na ba ang statement?). I just remembered the quote because I recently got hurt. Not so recent really. It happened over a week ago but I'm still carrying the result up to now.
I am carrying this very nasty burnt wound on my right leg (ang flawless kong legs na ni hindi ko pinadadapuan sa langaw!). How did I get the wound? Well, I call it plain stupidity. I dare say that backriding on a motorcycle (scooter, if you please) doesn't do me any good. Imagine going on a joyride with Pia on her scooter on Easter Sunday?! Serves me right for not going to church. What's funny is that we've been driving around Meycauayan for over an hour without any problem and when we decided to go home, that's when I got this nasty burn. It's so nasty it's the size of a one peso coin.
So why am I ranting about the burn? Simply because it's our graduation from class training at Dell and our theme would be "summer". Thus, we are expected to wear our summer outfit. And how am I supposed to do that when the burn is getting really bad-looking? Well, I have to think of a solution for it, right? I did thought of a solution but I don't think it's a good one. Still, it's better than having the wound open for all to see. ;)

May Masabi Lang
Mahigit isang buwan na since I transferred to Dell...Andaming nagulat na mga officemate ko sa APAC nung nag-resign ako. I didn't give them any hint na may plano akong lumipat. In fact, nung umalis ako, CQA apprentice na ako at member na ako ng escalation team. But the thing is, may mga bagay na mas importante kesa dun.
For my part, I have to think about my siblings who depend on me. Graduate na si Sasak ng high school, Budie will be college sophomore come June. Ambilis ng panahon. Minsan nga, akala ko mga grade school students pa rin sila. Hindi ko na nga sila mapalo (hihihi) kasi mas malalaki pa sila saken. Although, they developed a bad habit of kissing and hugging me whenever I come home. Hindi ko gusto yun dahil ang feeling ko, ginagawa lang nila yun para utuin ako...
Pero wala na atang makakauto saken the way Yuki does. That little man could get me to do anything he wants! And I easily give in whenever he requests something from me...and to think na hindi pa sya nakakapag-salita nun, ha? He just convey what he wants thru hand signals...Feeling ko, delikado ako lalo pag natuto na sya magsalita (heaven forbid!)

Anything Goes
Got this message from an officemate and it made me think...
Call Center Agent's Top 10 Disease
It is often spur-of-the-moment decisions, sometimes made by others, that can change our whole lives. - from the novel Sons of Fortune by Jeffrey Archer
Call Center Agent's Top 10 Disease
- Lung Cancer (habitual smoking) - never got that habit eversince, thank God!
- Bone Fracture (long hours of sitting) - guilty...in fact, I had six sessions with a PT last December because of it.
- Jaw Lock (excessive talking) - nah...CCA's are the most talkative people. we talk all night and after shift, we usually have breakfast and talk pa rin...
- Cataract (exposure to PC radiation) - dati ng malabo ang mata ko...
- Stress (damn those irate callers!) - hmp! now that is really stressful. I'm currently a member of the escalation team and it's not something that I enjoy doing...
- Impotency (lack of sex) - ummmm.....
- Fatigue (short sleep) - how can you ever have a good rest with the sun shining thru the windows?
- Asthma (rushing your way coz you might get late) - minsan lang naman ako ma-late...
- Constipation (five minutes lunch) - thirty minutes naman ang lunch namin! I get to enjoy a full hour lunch...or should I say breakfast coz it's 6am-7am?
- Forgetfulness (what day is today?) - what word is that?

Observations of an MRT Commuter
Ang Pinoy basta may pagkakataon, mas pipiliin ang makalamang...kahit sa pagbili ng swipe card, makikipag-unahan.
Mas grabe makipagsiksikan (at makipag-tulakan) ang mga babae kesa sa mga lalaki.
Lugi ka pag mas maliit ka (gaya ko) kasi maaamoy mo lahat...at dahil sa pambabaeng coach ako sumasakay, naaalibadbaran ako sa mga buhok ng mga babaeng lumilipad sa mukha ko. Hindi ba sila marunong magtali?!
Mas masarap sumakay sa MRT tuwing alas-sais ng umaga o pagpatak ng alas-nueve y medya ng gabi...kasi wala ng masyadong tao at hindi na rin siksikan...kaya nagpalipat ako ng mas late na shift.
Hi-tech na rin ang mga commuters. Hindi na sila natatakot na ipakita ang headset ng mga MP3 players nila o cell phone kaya. Hindi ka in pag walang nakapasak na headset sa tenga mo.
-----------
Eto naman, alang relevance sa article. Pakita ko lang yung favorite nephew ko, hanep kasi sa posing e. Daig ako...
