Farm Town!!!

Eto ang nagpapawala ng stress ko (namin) lately.

At eto rin ang dahilan kung baket kulang ako lagi sa tulog.

Karir mode.

Hahaha!

Try nyo!!!

Slept all day

I was so sleepy in the office the entire shift last night (because I got up 6am monday morning and was awake since then!), but I had to keep my senses to finish the tons of deliverables.

Coffee and yosi kept me awake.

I got home a lil' late because we had our gigantic board updated.

Was downloading the new AIM when I fell asleep.

When I woke up, it's already 4 in the afternoon.

I want to sleep some more!

Hmp!

Kung nagpapa-miss ka...

Pwes, successful ka.

Oo, namimiss na kita... sobra!

Sana lang alam mo 'yun!

Hmp!

Halo

Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light

I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again

Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Halo, halo

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

Let's read!

In my pursuit of encouraging one of my friends to read, I'm sharing this:

“If you read a lot of books you are considered well read. But if you watch a lot of TV, you're not considered well viewed.” -Lily Tomlin

Some words to ponder.

Importance of Reading

It is a well-known fact that when there were no televisions or computers, reading was a primary leisure activity. People would spend hours reading books and travel to lands far away-in their minds. The only tragedy is that, with time, people have lost their skill and passion to read. There are many other exciting and thrilling options available, aside from books. And that is a shame because reading offers a productive approach to improving vocabulary and word power. It is advisable to indulge in at least half an hour of reading a day to keep abreast of the various styles of writing and new vocabulary.

It is observed that children and teenagers who love reading have comparatively higher IQs. They are more creative and do better in school and college. It is recommended that parents to inculcate the importance of reading to their children in the early years. Reading is said to significantly help in developing vocabulary, and reading aloud helps to build a strong emotional bond between parents and children. The children who start reading from an early age are observed to have good language skills, and they grasp the variances in phonics much better.

Reading helps in mental development and is known to stimulate the muscles of the eyes. Reading is an activity that involves greater levels of concentration and adds to the conversational skills of the reader. It is an indulgence that enhances the knowledge acquired, consistently. The habit of reading also helps readers to decipher new words and phrases that they come across in everyday conversations. The habit can become a healthy addiction and adds to the information available on various topics. It helps us to stay in-touch with contemporary writers as well as those from the days of yore and makes us sensitive to global issues.

Gf's Birthday Party

The party was successful overall.

Though it was a bit tiring.

We had more than enough food and drinks.

Good music.

Great conversation.

Better in Time

It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through

Going coming thought I heard a knock
Who's there no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gonna be OK


[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

I couldn't turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings

If I'm dreaming don't wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings but that's the path
I believe in
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn't notice boy you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gonna be OK

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you
Yes I will

[Chorus: X2]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time


Been listening to this song for several days now... I couldn't agree more, it will all get better in time.

The Little Prince

Just finished reading "The Litte Prince".

Below are my favorite quotes from the book:

"Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and its tiresome for children to have to explain things to them always and forever."

"I'm very fond of sunsets. Come, let us go look at a sunset."

"One never knows."

"Language is the source of misunderstandings."

"Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

"You're beautiful but you're empty. One could not die for you."

"You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."

"Only children know what they are looking for."

"What makes the desert beautiful, is that somewhere is hides a well."

"But the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart..."

Special thanks to Elvin for lending me his book.

In His Time

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.


There is indeed a time for everything. One cannot question God's plans. Only Him knows what's best for us.

The best is yet to come.

In His time.

Hard to Believe

I find it hard to believe

That all the pain that we are feeling
Has some meaning in this world
It's so hard to believe
That everything you see is different
From the things that you've been told

I wanted life to be this way
Just a little bit of love
could mean so much
O please don't take it all away
But with you heaven is still close enough to touch


I find it hard to believe
That someone up there is waiting
With arms open wide and smiling
It's so hard to believe
When someone told me that your suffering
Is what you get for living

I wanted life to be this way
Just a little bit of love could mean so much
O please don't take it all away
But with you heaven is still close enough to touch
Because your love is still the only thing
That matters in this world
The only thing I can believe...


This was the first song that popped in my head earlier today.
There are really somethings that are hard to believe.
At times, we don't really have to believe... we just have to accept it.

It's the perfect description of how I'm feeling right now.

I don't know why I feel this way.

Maybe because I'm thinking about a lot of things.

My family, Carl and myself.

My career.

and a little about You.

I hope this will be over soon.

Para sa Akin

Kung ika’y magiging akin
Di ka na muling luluha pa
Pangakong di ka lolokohin
Ng puso kong nagmamahal

Kung ako ay papalarin
Na ako’y iyong mahal na rin
Pangakong ikaw lang ang iibigin
Magpakailanman

[chorus]
Di kita pipilitin
Sundin mo pang iyong damdamin
Hayaan nalang tumibok ang puso mo
Para sa akin

Kung ako ay mamalasin
At mayron ka nang ibang mahal
Ngunit patuloy ang aking pagibig
Magpakailanman

[repeat chorus]

Kung ako ay papalarin
Na ako’y iyong mahal na rin
Pangakong ikaw lang ang iibigin
Magpakailanman

[repeat chorus 2x]

Para sa akin

I just love the song and the lyrics.

Friendster Horoscope: 11 Jul

The Bottom Line

Other things are going to be making you feel desirable today -- not just romance.

In Detail

Don't worry -- someone loves you just the way you are. Yes, that even includes you and all your supposed flaws. Not only is no one perfect -- but if they were, they'd be boring and insufferable and zero fun. So cut yourself some slack, take a break, pat yourself on the back -- or, heck, do all three -- whatever it takes so you go easier on yourself and see just how great you are. After all, someone pretty important to you already thinks that.

Who's that someone?

If that's you... please approach me.

Hahahahaha!

Tanglaw ka ng bayan
Pandayan ng isip ng kabataan
Kami ay dumating nang salat sa yaman
Hanap na dunong ay iyong alay
Ang layunin mong makatao
Dinarangal ang Pilipino
Ang iyong aral, diwa, adhikang taglay
PUP, aming gabay
Paaralang dakila
PUP, pinagpala
Gagamitin ang karunungan
Mula sa iyo, para sa bayan
Ang iyong aral, diwa, adhikang taglay
PUP, aming gabay
Paaralang dakila
PUP, pinagpala


Proud to be PUPian.

Ngayon.

Ang tagal!

Mabagal takbo ang kamay ng orasan kapag may hinihintay.
Bawat minuto ay alam ko. Antagal talaga!
Hindi ko alam kung tama bang maghintay na lang ako.
Anung petsa na? Hindi pa ko natutulog. Kahit nalilibang ako mag-internet, hindi pa rin mawala sa isip ko yung hinihintay ko.
Hindi ko alam kung ngayon nga ba 'yun. Baka naman sa isang linggo pa. Hmmm...Baka naman pinaasa lang ako? Hindi naman siguro. Hay! Kinokontra ko din ang sinasabi ko.
Ah basta! Maghihintay pa rin ako.

Salamat numbpurplehaze sa larawan.

That hurts!

I never expected that I'd feel this way. Not until I was caught on that situation. I wanted to get off, hail a cab and go home. I was so jealous for no apparent reasons at all. I don't even know if I mean anything to you. And yet I'm feeling jealous. Wtf! This is sooooooo wrong.

R-E-A-L

You can't find something if you don't know what you're looking for.

When we were a kid, we know exactly what we want. But as we grow older, we're having difficulty defining what we want. At times, we want to play it safe. We want to have the best of both worlds.

Let me share this. I got this from a movie I watched over the weekend. This will kinda help us define what to look for.

Some guidelines on how to spot the right partner.

He should be R-E-A-L.
R - is he Responsible

E - is he your Equal

A - is he an Adult

L - is he Loving


Some of us are afraid of being alone. So, we settle for less.

Do you know what's scarier than being alone?

It's being with the wrong guy for the rest of your life.

Think about it.

9th SONA of GMA

On July 27, 2009, will be the 8th State Of the Nation Address (SONA) of GMA. According to the news, it will focus on the strengthening the agricultural sector and the national social welfare program of the government, with the help of the value added tax proceeds, and on the developments in the on going infrastructure program.

Also, GMA's pronouncement on the SONA will dictate the direction of the next year's national budget (according to Department of Budget and Management). Said it will be "over P1 trillion." (weow!)

When I was still in college (PUP, Manila), SONA was the time where students leave their classes and go out on the streets with their red or black arm bands, placards/banners and mega phone hoping that their sentiments will be heard.

Everyone wants to be heard.

But not all have the courage to stand up for what they believe.

Finally! The DSL service has been activated earlier today. Just in time for Mitch's birthday.

Elvin bought a TP-Link router. But still uses an ethernet cable. Hahahah!

While Mitch and I enjoy the wireless connection.

Expect that the 3 of us will be forever online.

VL

I can't remember the last time I had my VL... until last Thursday. I had been feeling stressed lately. I initially asked for a VL last Monday, but I ended up going in to work because of the tons of deliverables. My VL being delayed caused me to be stressed some more. I finally got a chance to have sometime off and I spent it with someone that matters to me.

What is Erythromycin?

Mitch is not feeling well. She took a couple of this, and now she's suffering from abdominal pains.

What is Erythomycin?

Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that has an antimicrobial spectrum similar to or slightly wider than that of penicillin, and is often used for people who have an allergy to penicillins. For respiratory tract infections, it has better coverage of atypical organisms, including mycoplasma and Legionellosis. It was first marketed by Eli Lilly and Company, and it is today commonly known as EES (erythromycin ethylsuccinate, an ester prodrug that is commonly administered).

In structure, this macrocyclic compound contains a 14-membered lactone ring with ten asymmetric centers and two sugars (L-cladinose and D-desoamine), making it a compound very difficult to produce via synthetic methods.

Erythromycin is produced from a strain of the actinomycete Saccharopolyspora erythraea, formerly known as Streptomyces erythraeus.

Adverse effects

Gastrointestinal disturbances, such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting, are very common, so erythromycin tends not to be prescribed as a first-line drug. However, erythromycin may be useful in treating gastroparesis due to this pro-motility effect. Intravenous erythromycin may also be used in endoscopy as an adjunct to clear gastric contents.

More serious side-effects, such as arrhythmia and reversible deafness, are rare. Allergic reactions, while uncommon, may occur, ranging from urticaria to anaphylaxis. Cholestasis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis are some other rare side-effects that may occur.

Excited!!!

I was nervous...oh! not really. In fact, I was able to sleep early. We had an early lunch. Then I started preparing my things when I received a text message. The schedule was changed. It's a bit later than the original schedule.I had time to watch "Heroes" and do other things aside from sleeping.
I got up late, the dinner was ready. They're just waiting for me to get up. Cramming time followed. They didn't know that I have to be in the office by 10 pm. Anyways, we came in just in time.

I think I did well. I did well with less effort. (conceited? - hahahah!)
I think he liked the way I answered his questions. He even said "I like the way you think."
I said that I'm a positive person. I always focus on the things that I can control and I also believe in "obeying first before I complain". I don't complain without giving it a try.
He said that we compliment each other. I'm positive and he's negative. He said that he always thinks of the worst to happen.

I really hope it will turn out fine.
I'm really interested in getting the post.
I find it challenging.
I'm excited to hear from them soon... actually, I'm prepared for both. Good or bad. But of course, I'm hoping to get the good news.

If it's good. It will be a new environment, new job description, new schedule, I'll gain new friends and I'll have a new boss. New everything!

If not. Better luck next time. Life goes on.
