My last working day at PRII

As I tried so hard to keep a happy face
I couldn't fake it,
tears starts to flow down my eyes
yes, it's because I'm sad...
eight years of being with you
is no joke...
eight years of wonderful friendships
eight years of work challenges
eight years of greater learnings...

There's no goodbye
only till we see each other again...

One Moment, One Nescafe

Salamat ng marami Nescafe,
nanatili akong gising sa magdamag, kapiling ka!


















Sana magkaroon pa ng CoffeeMate, (di magbabago), moment...
kung mapagbibigyan pa ng pagka
kataon...

Which shoe fits?




















Which shoe fits?

Message:
1. The overused shoes

When I went to Davao for Christmas vacation in 2001, I found what I think was the best shoes I've ever had. It was a blue and white slip-ons with a flower on its strap. Margay ang tatak niya. Ang tagal ko na naghanap ng blue na kikay slip-ons at doon ko lang sa Gaisano Davao nahanap iyun. And I bought the shoes for 500 lang! Feeling ko pa, swerte ako dahil last pair na iyun. And it was my size!

Sobrang natuwa ako sa kikay kong sapatos. At napakalambot niya! I wore the shoes everyday because they would match anything... denim, slacks, capri pants, skirt, dress. Gamit ko siya in the office, at the mall, in church, even at the beach!

Dahil araw-araw ko siyang nagamit, at nasuot ko na siya sa kung saan, it was expected na wala pang isang taon ay sira na siya. Sabi ko, okay lang. May Margay naman sa Robinsons saka sa
Landmark, siguro naman may ganoong style pa sila. Ngunit napuntahan ko na lahat ng
display ng Margay pero wala akong nakitang katulad nang nabili ko sa Davao. Nakadalawang uwi na ako sa Davao at pumupunta ako sa Gaisano, umaasang may makikita akong ganoon
klaseng sapatos. Hindi na nga ako naghahangad ng eksaktong ganoon eh. Kahit na kamukha lang o kasing-lambot lang, okay na. Kaso wala.

Iyong kikay blue Margay na slip-ons ko -- na malambot at may naka-angat na bulaklak sa strap, na bagay sa kahit anong damit ko -- ay sira na ngayon. Hindi lang siya sira, nangingitim na sa dumi, at hindi na kayang i-glue ang punit na talampakan. Pero hindi ko pa siya maitapon-tapon. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Alam ko hindi ko na siya maisusuot uli, pero may reminder naman
ako na once upon a time, I had a perfect pair of shoes. Hindi ko nga lang inalagaan.

Lesson learned:
Kapag nahanap mo na ang bagay o tao na sa tingin mo ay perfect na para sa iyo, ingatan at alagaan mo. Huwag mong abusuhin. Kapag nawala sila, baka wala ka nang mahahanap na kapalit. At habambuhay mo na lang iisipin na "sana, inalaagaan ko siya."

2. The "maganda siya pero masakit" shoes

May fini-fit ako noon na sapatos sa Celine. Okay lang ang presyo. Maganda ang material. Kikay ang hitsura. At kapag suot ko, nakaka-sexy ng paa. May isang problema nga lang... masakit sa paa.

Pero cutie kasi siya eh. Saka on sale. At sadyang matigas ang ulo ko. Kaya ayun, binili ko.

Sa umpisa, okay lang naman. Keri ko. Saka masakit naman talaga sa paa ang bagong sapatos. Pero habang lumilipas ang oras, lalong sumasakit. Hindi siya meant sa pangmatagalang suot. Habang suot ko siya, parang gusto kong umiyak sa tuwing humahakbang ako. Pagdating ko ng bahay, puro sugat at galos ang paa ko. At ilang linggo din akong may peklat sa paa dahil sa
diyaskeng sapatos na iyun.

Kapag sa umpisa pa lang, alam mo na masakit na sa paa at hindi mo puwedeng suotin ng matagalan, huwag mo nang bilhin. Bakit mo pa itutuloy kung alam mong masasaktan ka lamang kapag sinuot mo?

Parang pakikipag-relasyon din iyan eh. May mga lalake na good on paper, bagay sa iyo, tipo mo nga eh. Ang kaso, panandalian lang siya. "Boylet" lang kasi unavailable siya. Bakit mo pa itutuloy
kong alam mong eventually ay masasaktan ka lang? Sana, habang maaga pa, iwasan mo na.

Lesson learned:

Kung sa umpisa pa lang, alam mo na masasaktan ka lamang sa bandang huli, huwag mo nang ituloy. Baka mag-iwan pa iyan ng scar na hindi mo na maaaalis kailan man.


3. The shoes that got away

May nakita akong magandang sandals sa Landmark. Mura lang, less than 500 lang siguro. Kakaiba din siya kasi hindi siya iyong style na makikita mo sa babaeng katabi mo sa MRT. Black and white siya. Polka dots ang strap niya pero hindi cheap ang dating. Ang kikay nga eh. tapos, two inches iyong heels niya. Sinukat ko minsan, ang ganda sa paa!

Kaya lang, hindi ko siya binili. Kasi, kakaiba siya eh. Mahirap hanapan ng ka-match na damit at bag. Saka kakabili ko lang kasi ng isang sandals kaya sabi ko, next pay day ko na lang bibilhin ang polka dots na sapatos na yun.

Madalas akong dumaan sa Landmark at nakikita ko ang sapatos na gusto ko bilhin pero hindi ko mabili-bili. Ilang pay day na ang dumaan pero hindi ko pa rin siya kinukuha para iuwi. Hanggang sa dumating ang oras na kailangan ko ng isang kikay na sandals na may print. Naisip ko agad ang
polka-dots na matagal ko na gusto bilihin. Pero pag-punta ko sa Landmark, wala na siya doon. Naubos na. Ang ending, napabili ako ng ibang printed na sapatos na hindi ko naman talaga gusto pero wala akong choice kasi kailangan ko na nga.

Lesson learned:

Kung magpapaligaya sa atin ang isang bagay, seize the day! Sa kaka-delay, baka mawala lang sa atin ito at mauuwi tayong nagse-settle sa hindi naman talaga natin gusto. Mas mahirap pagsisihan ang mga bagay na hindi mo ginawa. Wala na yatang mas masakit pa sa thought na abot-kamay mo na lang, pero pinalampas mo pa.


Sino ba naman mag-aakalang may mapupulot pala akong leksyon sa mga sapatos? Kaya nga panay bili ko eh, para mas marami pa akong matutunan. Sa susunod, I will find lessons from bags naman para ma-justify din kung bakit sandamakmak ang bags ko.

I should be enjoying my comfort food, ice cream-double dutch.
But I got a "No", I thought it will be ok to actually get the "No" answer, but hell Ouch! it is!
For a few moments, I sat blankly staring at the TV. What then I should eat now?
I looked in my paper bag of 'emergency foods'... yeah, those quick or no-cook, instant, only hot water to add 'emergency foods' and to my another dismay, no more baked mac nor mac and cheez. Heck!!!
...and so, comforting myself with what's left inside the paper bag, instant sopas and just to add a little yum, paired it with strawberry juice! ;)


















will there be a No again next time? I hope Not.

Falling In Love


No one falls in love by choice,
it is by chance.
No one stays in love by chance,
it is by work.
No one falls out of love by chance,
it is by choice.


Falling In Love

6 Part Invention
from Agua Bendita Teleserye

You and me
We got along just fine
But deep inside
I know there is more
Right next to you
I know you’re the right one
Can’t fight this feeling
I’m taking chances now

Refrain:
In my heart
I feel that this is something real
I don’t want to let this moment go...

Chorus:
Oh! Why oh why do I feel this way?
When I’m with you I feel so alive
Oh! Why oh why will I hide away?
I can’t help it
I’m falling in love with you

Never ending nights
When I’m alone with you
A lifetime of dreams coming true
Nothing comes close
To what we have right now
You’re the only one that matters now

Refrain:
In my heart
I feel that this is something real
I don’t want to let this moment go...

Chorus:
Oh! Why oh why do I feel this way?
When I’m with you I feel so alive
Why oh why will I hide away?
I can’t help it
I’m falling in love

What if I fall in love?
What if I made you mine?
I wanna know, if you’ll be there by my side?

Chorus:
Why oh why do I feel this way?
When I’m with you I feel so alive
Why oh why will I hide away?
I can’t help it
I’m falling in love with you

Choose your love and love your choice

5 C's of Love

by Obet Cabrillas (K Preacher)

For your love to be accepted is one thing. The sustainability is the greater challenge.

Love is Communication. The more you communicate the, the deeper the relationship gets. You'll get to know each other well. your communications will get deeper from facts, to opinions, to feelings. Hence, intimacy is born.

Love is Connection. Hold hands, hug, and give affectionate touch (not malicious ones). Our bodies are made to be touched. Arms are made for embrace. Psychologists require five to seven hugs a day for psychological health.

Love is Cooperation. Invest on the emotional "stocks" of one another. Know what is valuable to the other and offer sincere help. The mathematics of cooperation is this: it subtracts the burden; adds to the joy; divides the effort and multiplies the fun.

Love Is Conversion. When you love somebady, you cahnge for the better. It is possible that a person can be so changed by love that you hardly recognize him as the same. Plate was right when he said, "At the experience of love, the lover becomes a poet".

Love is Communion. Synergy, meeting of the minds, jiving effectively, same wavelengths, vibes, in the zone together, etc. All these things explain the power of communion and oneness among people who are close to one another. No wonder we are called The Body of Christ.

Bottom line: Choose your love and love your choice.
