Wag ng bitter! Kahit itago, huling-huli!

Wag mo 'kong idamay...

Kiber ko sa'yo.

Mind your own business

I'm happy with my life.

If you have unfinished business... spare me... It's between the two of you. (or the two of them?)

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop stalking me.


Thanks to investigation for the picture.

Thankful

I thank God for bringing you into my life.
Who would have thought that we'll be friends? You came in to my life at the right time. I admire your loyalty, thoughtfulness and most of all, your faith in God.

Thanks to ketsurakuame for the picture.

It's weird!

She finds it weird that she actually thought of you while she was in a middle of something serious. You just popped up on her head... very vivid...like a flashback in a movie!

That scene never fails to make her smile. It really does! She can clearly describe how you looked like that day. Hahaha!

Kilig!!!

Bow!

When love and hate collide

Got the time got a chance gonna make it
Got my hands on your heart gonna take it
All I know I can't fight this flame
You could have a change of heart, if you would only change your mind
Cause I'm crazy 'bout you baby, time after time

Di Sigurado

Sabi ni Bob Ong: "Pakawalan mo yung mga bagay na nakasasakit sayo kahit pinapasaya ka nito. Wag mo hintayin ang araw na sakit na lang ang nararamdaman mo at iniwan ka na ng kasiyahan mo."





Masaya.
Isa ka sa mga nagpapasaya sa kanya.

Ingat.
...dahil madaming mga matang nakatingin... nanghuhusga...nagbabantay...naghihintay ng mga susunod na mangyayari...kung magiging pareho ba ang kapalaran nung sa nauna...
May mga tao talaga sigurong di kayang maging masaya para sa kapwa nila. May mga tao din na nagpapanggap na may "malasakit" pero ang totoo eh, "chismis" lang ang habol. Ingat kayo sa kanila.

Kaibigan.
Naniniwala sya na madami pa din ang mga may tunay na malasakit. Mga kaibigan na takot lang na masaktan sya. Pinapahalagahan at nirerespeto nya ang mga taong iyon.

Tiwala.
Tiwala at pagkakataon lang ang hinihingi nya sa inyo. Na kung sa anu't-anu man makarating ang mga bagay-bagay. Kaya nya itong lampasan.

Desisyon.
Walang maling desisyon. Nagiging mali lang ito kapag hindi napapaninindigan.
Yan din ang paniniwala nya. Hindi sya siguro aabot kung nasaan sya ngayon kung hindi nya alam kung paano harapin at panindigan ang mga desisyon na ginawa nya.

Di sigurado.
Wala namang bagay ang sigurado sa mundo kundi ang "pagbabago" di ba?

I will by Tuck and Patti

I'm singing..

And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
Oh, you know I will, I will

The Card

*Updated

I bought this card long time ago...
I didn't realize not until today, that this card is for you.
I thought it's for someone else...
Now, I'm sure... this is for you!

When I'm with you,
I never know exactly
what's going to happen,
but I know I'll have
a good time, regardless.
You're one of those rare people
who never outgrow
your zest for life,
your amazement
at the wonder of it,
and your love of it--
in good times and even
the not so good.

On the inside it reads:

I get a happy feeling
just being with you.
That's why I'm so glad
that you're my friend.


Thanks for the gift of friendship. :)

Waiting

I don't know why I'm waiting. I just know that I don't mind. I didn't even realize that it has been more than an hour. I thought you were kidding when you asked me to wait, apparently, you're not. Hahaha!

I'm not sure if you're just confident that you'll find me where you left me. It reminds me of The Script... "I'm the (wo)man who can't be moved..." Nyahahaha!

Oh! You can be confident now, but I'm telling you, don't be too confident. There are people who gets tired of waiting and they just leave without a word. Heheheh! But I'm faaaaaaaar away from doing that. I know what I'm doing and I enjoy what I'm doing. I'll stay as long as you want me to stay.

I remember the day when you said that you're afraid to grow old alone? Do you also remember what I told you? "Don't be afraid coz I'll be there for you." And I mean it.

I'm here to stay.

You won...

“We have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.”

I'm taking risks (again).

This time, it's with you.

I'm not expecting anything, though.

Just let me take care of you.


Special thanks to Bastardas for the picture.

I give in...

Liar

He lied.

I hate it when people lie. Who likes liars anyways?

How can you trust someone who can't even be honest with small things?

A simple yes or no was the answer I'm looking for. But he chose to say "I don't know.", and what's worst was, he denied it.

It's sad when friends lie.

Fine. It's over and done. He didn't even say he's sorry. I just assumed he is.

We're back to our normal mode again, as if nothing happened.


Thanks to corinnenikole for the picture.

I have been warned!

**Updated!**

I don't want to be one of them.
I have been warned.
I'm wondering why I'm having this confusion right now. When I shouldn't be confused in the first place.

You're charming - that's a given.
You're nice - you can get extremely nice.
You make me smile.
You make me laugh.

We're friends.
We're close friends.
We enjoy each other's company.
We can talk about anything.

I gave a chance to explain.
But you chose to be silent.
I am honest.
I'm expecting you do the same.


I don't know where this will lead us...

Ang labo!

'Nyeta!!!

Ano ba'ng nangyayari?

Ngayon pa ba magka-faction?

Mahirap tulungan ang taong ayaw tanggapin sa sarili nya na kailangan nya ng tulong.

Mag-marunong ka pa!

Tingnan natin kung saan ka dadalhin ng kahangalan mo.

Unti-unti ng nauubos ang positive energy ko.

Nawawalan na ko ng tiwala.

Ang alam ko lang ngayon, kailangan natin magkaisa... magtulungan... dahil iisa lang naman ang hangad natin, di ba?


Salamat spako sa larawan.

Eh kinikilig ako eh.

Hahahah!

Goldilock's Black Forest.
This is my GFF's gift to me.
Taken at my station. She bought it with "Pam", I saw them downstairs. Hahaha! (Kumusta naman ang element of surprise?)She gave this to me around 12mn. She walked on the production floor carrying this cake with candles lit together with some team leads and OMs. Isn't she sweet?

Last year, she gave me a cake as well. Check this out.

Thanks much, GFF! I love you! =)

Live like we're dying

We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live -- like we're dying




I love The Script!

My Wish

My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold

... is happy

I am feeling happy.


Thanks for making me smile.

Thanks to eliara for the picture.

I know him so well

Looking back I could have played it differently
Won't a few more moments, who can tell?
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know, I know him well

We've seen it coming!

Kaya nga hindi na ko nagulat nung binalita mo sa 'kin "'yon".
Hay! Nalulungkot din ako tulad mo. Me mga bagay talaga na kala natin "ok" lng, pero pag nandun na tao sa puntong 'yon, hindi pala. Doon tayo makakaramdam ng sakit na kala natin eh "wala lang". Sabi nga nila, "madaling sabihin, mahirap gawin".

Naiyak ako. Naisip ko, sana sinabi mo 'yan na magkaharap tayo. "I'm your crying shoulder, remember?" (and you're mine) Naiyak ako lalo nung sinabi mo na umiiyak ka din (kung asan ka man), sana nasa tabi mo ko. *Hugs*

Basta, isipin na lang natin, "everything happens for a reason". We may not understand it now, but in His time, we will.
Just hang on.
The best is yet to come.

Cheer up!

Day 17

Day 17 of breaking a habit. I think Linkin Park's Breaking the habit suits me best. =)

A Thousand Miles

I'm singing...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

Moon and the stars

The worst pain in lif is when someone you KNOW turns into someone you KNEW.

Rule:

Never ignore a person who loves you, cares for you so much and misses you. Because one day you may wake up from sleep and realize that you've lost the moon while counting the stars.

Do you remember this?

Elvs,

Do you remember when this picture was taken?

It was taken during the 2007 Accenture Christmas Party @ the WTC.

We look stress free here. Hehehe!

I'm feeling nostalgic.

Familiar Scent

I was on my way home when I passed by someone wearing the same scent as you do.

I've realized that it has been 2 weeks since the last time we went out.

Tapos, we seldom see each other pa.

Hay! I miss you na!

I'm getting used to it, though. *Grins*

As they say, it takes 21 days to create/break a habit. I'm on Day 11. 10 more days to go towards breaking "that" habit.

I guess, I'll see you on Day 22!

Love Story

Lyrics | Taylor Swift lyrics - Love Story lyrics

Super Sorry

"Tipong pag sinabihan ka ng sorry, pwede ka pang magtampo. Pero pag sinabihan ka na ng SUPER SORRY, naku! bawal na magtampo. Kasi super na yan!" - Bob Ong

Nalungkot naman ako nung nalaman ko na sinabi mo na "ndi na ko mag-oorganize ng event concerning me and _____" Super Sorry talaga. Hindi naman ako injanera di ba?

Super sorry. Hindi na talaga kinaya ng powers ko nung sabado.

Babawi ako/kami sa'yo.

Wag ka ng magalit.

Peace na tayo!

Thanks to fludish for the picture.

Concerned

I am touched by your article about letting go. I truly am. You said, "letting go doesn't mean giving up. It's just accepting that there are things that are not meant to be."

You're right. I should accept that "we" are not meant to be. Why? I bet you can give me thousands of reasons why. You never get tired of telling me that he doesn't deserve me. Coz I deserve someone better than him.

Don't be sorry. I know that you just want me to realize my worth. I know you hate seeing me being taken for granted. Ouch! Don't worry, I've come to realize that. I'm picking up the pieces now.

Thank you for always being there for me.... for not getting tired of my stories...for the intelligent conversations... for lending me your ears when I needed someone to listen. Thank you!

Don't be afraid

I'm right here. So don't be afraid. We share the same sentiments, remember?

So, every time you feel sad and alone.
Think of me and what I said: "I'll not leave you and I'll stay with you as long as you want me to."

It ends at Eleven

Dumating na ang araw na tinutukoy ko dun sa post kong Agosto.
Ngaun yung eksaktong araw na yun. Ika labing-siyam (19) ng Agosto.
Matagal kong pinag-isipan kung gagawin ko nga ito... ooopss! don't panic, I didn't do anything stupid.

Gusto ko lang balikan ang nakaraan... pero hindi nga pwede. Di ba nga? Makakabalik lang tayo sa lugar pero ndi sa panahon.

Ikwekwento ko na nga kung saang mga lugar ako nakarating kanina (bago ko pa malimutan dahil pakiramdam ko, may memory lapses na ko lately.)

Eto na:

9:30 am ako umalis dito, nakaidlip kc ko.

Eto ang itinerary ko kanina:

Tricycle > EDSA Square

MRT Shaw > MRT Taft

(Dapat from MRT Taft > LRT Baclaran (plano ko din kc mgsimba sa Baclaran Church, eh dhil ndi ako tumawid... at narealize ko lng na mali ako nung turn ko na sa ticket booth... lahat ng nauuna sa kin eh puro North Bound ung sinasabing estasyon... eh kung nsa tamang side ako, di mo na kelangan sabihin kung saan kc, next na ung Baclaran station sa EDSA station. Hay!) Strike 1.

MRT Taft > LRT EDSA > Tayuman Station

Tayuman > Jeepney ride going to Lardizabal (dapat), pero Espana pala ung nsakyan ko. Kumusta naman???? Strike 2.

Commercial > ngtext ung new friend ko > nagpapaharvest ng crops sa Farm Town (yata), actually, kahapon pa nya un request... sowee friend... nsa lansangan ako nung mga panahong iyon. =)

Bumaba ako (actually, sumabay ako sa huling bumaba), sa me Lacson/Espana. Tapos kumanan ako, nakuw! Nakita ko ang UST. So, narealize kong, mali ang way ko. So bumalik ako. Strike 3.

Next streeet sign... Dela Fuente. Hinahanap ko ung route ng byaheng Lardizabal.

Lakad pa ng konti... Hayun! Familiar Street... Vicente Cruz. This time, tama na. Doon nga ung daanan ng jeep byaheng Tayuman-Lardizabal. Finally! =)

Jeep from Espana > Lardizabal

Lardizabal > ngpaload muna ko > umakyat ng overpass sa me Ramon Magsaysay Blvd. > syempre nakita ko ang isa pang familiar na building... Ung Hostel (PUP Manila) sa Hasmin Campus. Hay!

Hintay ako ng jeep byaheng Bacood or Punta. Aba! Sa Ramon Magsaysay pala dumadaan ung jeep na byaheng Pasig-Quiapo (natempt kaya kong umuwi na lng...pero hindi... nandun na ko. Sayang ang effort. Hahahaahah!) Ayan, me jeep na... signboard > Bacood > Ako: "Ma, bayad ho. Sa Teresa (kalye kung san ung PUP) lng yan." Gusto ko sana sabihin, estudyante. Nyahahahah!

Isang kanto pagkasakay, tinanaw ko kung nandun pa ung 7-11 sa Pureza... nandun pa, pero "Closed" na. Baka ndi mabenta, o di kaya, baka irerenovate. Hay! Tambay kya kme dun after ng P.E Class namin (Social Dance -- Oha!) dun sa me Antic House.

Di ako bumaba sa Teresa... bumaba ako dun sa simbahan (kc nga di ba, ndi successful ung Baclaran plan ko). Kala ko bukas... pero buti na lng bukas ung Adoration Chapel.

I spent a silent time with Him there. I even prayed the Holy Rosary. (mygas! Strike 4, umatake ang memory gap... ndi ko matandaan ung Glorious Mysteries... sbi ko talaga, "Lord, sorry na... mgJoyful Mysteries na lng ako... kabisado ko un." Kaloka di ba? Feeling ko naman, maiintindihan ako ni Lord saka ni Mama Mary...

Mega reflect ako dun... as in! Sobrang peaceful ksi. In fairness, I feel better afterwards.

Next, I found myself walking along Teresa Street. Kasabay ng mga PUPians. Hahahahah! Feeling estudyante talaga ko knina... Ayun, nglakad lakad ako...pero ung nakaraan ung nakikita ko. Parang movie lng ganun... ung me flashback.

Bumili ko ng souvenir... PUP lanyard.

Andaming ng pinagbago... wala na ung mga barung-barong sa gilid ng PUP (Mabini Campus). Malinis na... ndi na nakakatakot pumasok. Dami kayang snatchers at holduppers dun na nambibiktima ng estudyante. Pero awa ng Diyos, sa apat at kalahating taon kong nilagi duon, eh ndi ako nabiktima. (Amazona yata to! Hahahah!)

Sabi ko sa sarili ko, tama na to... nglakad na ko pabalik.

Sakay ako ng jeep byaheng Cubao > bumaba ako sa SM Sta. Mesa

Hay! Madami din kaya akong memories dito... lakad-lakad...ikot-ikot...

Pumasok ako sa Papemelroti > naisip ko ung mga close friends ko... so, tumingin ako ng pwedeng ibigay sa kanila. Binilhan ko sila ng mini notebook. Ung isa about friends ung cover, ung isa about happiness. Saka isang daily journal (for my new friend, sabi nya kc kagabi, mahilig daw syang magsulat.) Ung sa kin naman... ang nakalagay: Tomorrow's life is too late. Live Today. The Beginning is always today. Sapul ako di ba?? Anu ba tong ginagawa ko di ba??? Bumabalik sa nakaraan...

Syempre, niconvince ko na lng ung sarili ko, sabi ko... sandali na lng.... malapit ng matapos ung itinerary ko.

National Bookstore > gusto ko sana bumili ulit ng libro, kaya lng dami ko pa palang libro na hindi nababasa. Ang ending, gel pens na color pink and purple ang nabili ko. Heheheh!

Pagkatapos ng konting window shopping, ngdecide na ko umalis. Labas ako ng mall. Dun ako dumaan sa me sidewalk, asensado na, me bakod ng bakal, kaya pala ndi na ngtratrapik. Ang layo ng inikot ko, para lng mag-end sa footbridge sa gilid ng SM. Strike 5.

Footbridge patawid from SM. Lakad. Isa pang bonggang footbridge patawid naman sa me sakayan ng jeep going to Quezon Ave. Kapagod ha???!

Jeep from G. Araneta - Quezon Ave. Kakapaypay ko ng dala ko, nasira ung paper bag. Strike 6. Buti na lng ndi naman kalakihan ung punit. Pero muka pa rin akong tanga na me dalang punit na paper bag.

Quezon Ave na ko... hay! I'm getting near. Nakatanaw na naman ako ng bonggang footbridges... with "s" talaga. Kasi ang dami, ang haba at ang taas. Not again! Di ko na keri umakyat dyan. Nag-isip ako ng ibang way....

Pumara kong ng jeep byaheng Proj. 8/Munoz. "Ma, bayad. Frisco po." Aba! Aba! Naalala ko pa... actually, sinusundan ko lang ang mga paa ko. Alam pa rin nyang puntahan ung mga lugar na dati na nyang pinupuntahan. Sa puntong ito, napaisip na ko, anu nga ba talaga ang gusto kong gawin??? Gusto ko ba sya makita? makausap? o wala lng.

Lakad ako sa Frisco... medyo na lost ako ng konti dito (Strike 7)... malayo ung inikutan ko. Pero, nakita ko pa rin naman ung sakayan papuntang Royal (EDSA).

Medyo matagal bago napuno ng pasahero ung jeep. Kaya ngkaron ako ng time na mag-isip ng mabuti... Ang final decision ko??? Wala akong gagawin na kakaiba para makita sya. Tama na ung dumaan ung jeep na sinasakyan ko sa tapat ng bahay nila. Yellow na ung color ng gate nila ngaun. Blue un dati.

Bket ndi na lng? Baket last minute eh ngbago ang isip ko?
Eh mega effort na nga ko... naisip ko din kc na, maliit lng ang mundo. At sa loob ng 7 years, di pinag-adya ni Lord na magkita kme. Tapos ako, heto ako, hinahanap sya. Labanan ba ang kapalaran? It must be fate. Sinabi ko na lng sa sarili ko. Magkikita kami ulit... In His time.

Nasa EDSA na ko, naghihintay ng bus papuntang MRT-Noth.

MRT North > MRT Shaw.

Habang lulan ako ng bus at tren, nagmuni-muni ako. Nagsayang lang ba ko ng panahon at pagod?
Sa palagay ko, hindi. Masaya ako (kahit pagod). At least, ndi ko na itatanong sa sarili ko na... "what if?"
Imagine, I waited 7 long years (4 years kame as couple), just to do those things...na balikan ang nakaraan...balikan ung mga lugar na magpapaalala sa kanya...sa min...

Alam ko na ang sagot sa mga tanong ko...

Sbi nga dun sa notebook ko, Tomorrow's life is too late. Live Today. The Beginning is always today.

August 19, 1998 - Aug 19, 2009

Today, I'll stop counting the years. It ends at Eleven.

I'm moving forward. =)

Now you know that:
