Greatness comes in various shapes and sizes. Well, this great thing that happened just last week to me was, well… small in size. Call it a surprise to me and my other teammates. Our bosing Myles and boss chief Mommy Ria just gave us our Christmas gift aka bonus… Read further here.

 Mind floating elsewhere… so might as well do something productive (aside from doing work stuff)… post a blog Ü We’ve moved last April to a new location from the original “house” of Myles(my boss and friend) a couple or more blocks away. Originally, Myles’ home and our office was just in one roof. But like a family, we are sort of “growing” and ourbosing made a huge step of separating the office to his home. Hence, we moved here… Click here to read more.
 Bitin. That’s what I feel up to now about the reunion concert last August 30 of the Eraserheads. But still, thank goodness I had the chance to be there even though my neck hurt from looking up, arms a bit sore from stretching them to its fullest and trying to keep my camera steady at the same time and lower back aching from standing, waiting for them for hours. And all of those… it was all worth it. Click here for more.
 Up to now I think I still overwhelmed with what happened last night. I can think of a good intro to catch you attention to read this entry. Ok, let’s just make it straight to the point… I WATCHED RICK ASTLEY’S LIVE IN MANILA CONCERT LAST NIGHT!!! YEEEEAAAH! IT WAS A BLAST!!! I really, REALLY had fun! Isn’t it obvious? :p Thanks to Jose, who had pretty good PR contacts that he nabbed 2 tickets for the concert! And who did he picked to be with? ME (To Jose, thank you, THANK YOU sooooo mu-cho!) He may not be U2. Or some might be reacting who’s he? Well, people… (bitch mode ON!) you ain’t an authentic 80’s baby if you don’t know him! Yeah, yeah… it’s an evidence that I am OLD, but who cares? When have I denied my age. I was born during the Martial Law era for heaven’s sakes… I adored Aga Muclach (BEFORE, during his younger years, take note of that), I watch Rainbow Brite and Transformers cartoons on TV and I grew up and learned from Batibot and Sesame Street. Hell, yeah! I am proud to say, again and AGAIN… I WATCHED RICK ASTLEY’S CONCERT HERE IN MY COUNTRY… Read more here.
Lunes na naman bukas. Ibig sabihin luluwas na naman ako ng Manila. Pag luluwas ako, ibig sabihin nu’n maaga na naman kasi tanghaliin ka lang ng konti o abutan ng rush hour – patay! Pahirapan sa pagsakay. Para kang sardinas sa latang di pa nabubuksan. Alam ko na naman ang scenario kada Lunes. Kaya madalas Linggo palang ng hapon on gabi lumuluwas na ako. Hindi naman ‘yung ang reklamo ko. Luluwas ako kasi magtatrabaho na naman ulit. Basahin buong blog.
I got this “test” from Apple’s blog. Took it and it’s true! Described me well Ü Read on and hopefully you’d take the test yourself  … ———— Good-natured Realists are warm-hearted, helpful personalities. They do their work conscientiously and have a pronounced organising talent. They often feel they are committed to traditional values. The family in particular is extremely important to Good-natured Realists. Their greatest pleasure is making themselves useful and taking care of other people. But they do not like pushing themselves to the fore; they prefer to fulfill their tasks out of the limelight. Good-natured Realists are real workaholics; they are very reliable and nothing is too much for them when it is a question of completing a project. Thoroughness, conscientiousness and sense of duty are their strongest points. They prefer established and familiar situations to new and unknown situations. Read more.
A week has past from the trip and the “fever” that I acquired from it. Posted my photos in Multiply and as days passed it seemed hard for me to sort out the photos and files for personal archiving and for re-posting to those other social websites. Other projects wanted to outdo the other. As if fighting to get my attention, well, my priority actually… from re-doing a box diecut, re-sizing a countertop display and digging up archived file for a quite old project just to name a few  Read more.
My cousin tagged me this time to blog 10 randoms things about me. The instructions are:
1. Each blogger starts with 10 random facts/habits about themselves. 2. Bloggers who are tagged need to blog about their own 10 random facts/habits. 3. At the end of your blog, tag 10 people and list their names. 4. Don't forget to leave them a comment and tell them that they've been taggged and to read your blog. ---------- 1.) I love fries. What more soggy and/or cold fries. At times I intentionally make it soggy Ü 2.) I love my nails a little long, manicured/pedicured, and have French tips on it. It makes me feel really girly. 3.) I like purple and red color but I seldom wear clothes in such colors. 4.) I’m not a vegetables or fruits fanatic. I am very choosy on veggies but fried lumpia is one of my favorite dishes. Even the cold, soggy or not crispy ones, I like to eat them Ü 5.) I like to go nature trips and exploration but haven’t tried hiking, trecking or camping. I’m quite afraid what awaits me out there. 6.) I’m very particular with lavatories and bathrooms. I’d rather hold it than go to public toilets. 7.) I’m a space eater. Give me a big bag or a big table, I can fill it up with my necessary or unnecessary stuff. 8.) I love elephants. I still dream of touching and/or riding one someday. 9.) I have difficulty in forgiving and forgetting. Because it one did hurt me, it could really be big deal for me. 10.) I’m a cry-baby. I get carried away in family situations and specially on unrequited, unreciprocated, sacrificial and rejected love. Ten lang? Hehehe. I could do more! But for now, let me tag: 1.) Gian 2.) Ten/Wiwatchai 3.) Aileen 4.) Jose 5.) Ate Marj 6.) Di 7.) Cris 8.) Glads 9.) Apple 10.) Rio
That’s odd. From the time I seated in the call-in cab my tummy’s reacting weird. Am I having butterflies in my stomach or just typical gas reacting quite weird? Perhaps it’s hunger. It’s almost 8pm and I didn’t take any snacks that day. Finishing errands and doing last minute packing. I hate this day. All seemed going wrong. Really. As Gian last Ym-ed me, the only best thing that’s happening is that I’ll be going there and seeing him and Ten… yup, just the two of them. What else can go wrong today? It was a quite miserable Wednesday. Click here to read more.
They always say that love is lovelier the second time around… can that saying be also applied to a place you fell in love with?
Tonight is my flight to Bangkok. The city I fell in love the first time I’ve been there. I’m excited and at the same time scared as mentioned in one of my previous entry. While I was in the cab off to the airport, I don’t feel well that as if I have some morning sickness, like I want to vomit. And my stomach was somewhat contracting when I saw the lights of NAIA.

It’s really getting worse… well, the weather for one. We all know that it’s the global warming. Aside from being unpredictable, the heat is really getting into each and everyone. Just like today, the heat is unbearable… Humans mostly can bear the heat at some point but the machines, the breakdown… give in. KABLAM! Just like that. (Did I just said “kablam”? Oh my goodness…) I have been wearing a bandana for the past days. As a proof…

This entry was weeks old late… another entry that I owe and it’s worth posting still ;) Thanks again, Ate Marj, Jose aka Chong and Denden Ü It’s been really stressful and frustrating these days and a trip to the beach was the temporary getaway, thanks to Ate Marj, Jose’s sister who invited me to join them over the weekend. And guess who’d they brought along?

Fill in the blanks na lang. Pinakakakaiba ang araw na ito sa mga nakaraang linggo at mga araw ng buhay ko. Maraming kababawang nakapagpaligaya sa akin, tulad na lang ng peanut butter spread na Ludy’s na nilalantakan ko mula pa nung Lunes. ‘Wag n’yong la-lang-langin ang Ludy’s, nostalgic ‘yun ah. Isa ‘yan sa mga pioneers ng peanut butter industry dito sa Pilipinas bago pa me Lady’s Choice at kung anu-ano pang brands. Masaya ako dapat. Well, masaya naman ako, partially. Tulad ng pagkakasabi ko kanina, maligaya na ako lately sa ilang daily dose ng peanut butter at eto nga, isang project na isang malaking tinik na talaga na nakabaon sa lalamunan namin ang sa wakas, FINALLY final artwork na! Yahoo! Gusto kong tumambling, buti na lang di ako marunong kundi baka nabaliaan na ako ng buto. Hanggang cheer at high-five na lang ang nagawa namin ni Rio, ang aming accounts manager. I can finally say, I can move on na… Click here for more.

It’s hard to accept that after all the things you do, all the sacrifices and all the hopes you have, in the end still the one thing you wanted to have can’t be yours… I cried (again) and felt how Betty feels (episode 16, season 2)… this hopeless romantic lady got carried away again. For more, click here
I’m a bit shaken with the things happening around me. Things that matter personally and professionally. Made me think again on certain situations that I thought only fictatious and happens only because the scriptwriter and director told them so… It even irritates me more when simple stuff that should at least coorperate with you to ease up a little tention adds up and aggitates you more… Read more here
Why resist when you know you won’t win over it? It may sound as another excuse. I’m really sorry to my friends who are really, really concern. It’s really hard to resist such a strong urge. It makes me happy. Really. Even for just a few hours, for a few minutes, even for a few seconds. I hoped and expected… those were the things that made it difficult for me back then. But now, realizing that denying and avoiding it won’t do any good, why resist? Perhaps I just have to take walk… with him. Continuity. … but with caution this time.
 I just came in from my dear friend back in high school. Let’s call the event a sort of reunion for own small group. Prior to Donna’s wedding was Renee’s which I missed due to work duties. (Really sorry, Renee. My loss. Heard it was a blast.)
Oh, by the way, all of them are all getting married and talked about details and planning. Again, I am left out. But it’s my fault… Just thankful I tried to be useful (somehow) in the wedding. Borrowed Myles’ Canon 20D and fire the trigger away. But despite my face behind the viewfinder, I really couldn’t stop some tears to drop. I worry about the makeup Gou did on me but still… gahd! I’m such a cry baby. ARGH. Can’t help but became quite emotional about it. Donna is my closest among the four of us, no doubt about that. We lost touch sometime around the sophomore days of our college years and we took the same degree in different universities. We sort of regroup at least once a year but being the renegade member for being late or worst the always the no-show I am the odd man out nowadays. It’s my fault. A price to pay when I’m not constantly in touch. These are just some of the initial photos I got. Mostly my faves. Will still be selecting decent ones since I didn’t use any flash on the photos I’ve taken, some are blurred due to movement of subject or due to my hands shaking and trying to hold my composure of not sobbing loudly.

What happened last night could have been a follow through of what happened, the other night (as the stated in my previous entry). What happened last night made me think to that extent that it gave some verification to myself… my worthiness. I may have entered into a situation that should have been avoided from the start. Never mix water w/ oil, if I may say so. Shake it vigorously, the substance may look mixed up but at the end it will still separate. Avoid hassle of cleaning it up. Wounds may heal for some time and most of it leave scars… to remind us of where it came from and why we had that wound. I guess now, verifying where I stand and trying to understand certain situations and people lead me to understand myself and honestly, knocked the helmet off of my head. I came to my senses. I am not so love struck that I have lost my sense of reality and self-worth. I still have a little something of myself left. (Thank you) Learned a lot here. I wish I’ll be reminded of the events I’ve been through. Lessons are quite learned and remembered specially when your trip face flat on the floor. What matter is how you get up, straighten your clothes and brush the dirt off and move on. It hurts. I can’t deny that. But that feeling is so worth it. At lest it has some use. Charge it to experience, as they say. What didn’t kill you makes you stronger… TRUE enough. I’ve changed a lot. Some doesn’t like it, because it didn’t favor them. Others said it was good. But for me, I feel better. I just feel sad and afraid that I may have lose someone. But it’s up to him. I’ve always made it a point that I’m always there for him but right now, I just have to leave some for myself. I have proven my loyalty but it doesn’t mean I have abandon him. I’ll always be here as a friend. He should have known that from the start. No hard feelings.
This might have been my daring entry ever about me… doing this in the event of helping myself to move on… –––––––––––– Ngayong gabi na talaga (actually, umaga na) ang pinaka-sign sa mga signs na hinihingi ko. Sobrang denial na talaga ako at madami ng signs in different angles at excuses ang pinalipas ko. Hopeful kasi ako. Wala na kong lusot. Ngayong gabi (umaga na nga!) dapat tapusin ko nang kabaliwan, katangahan at kagagahan ko sa buhay…. Hindi lang batok o sampla ang inabot ko noon. Pero sige, bira pa rin ako. Umasa ang gaga. Nangudngod na ako. Sinubsob na nga yata ang mukha ko sa kahihiyan, deny pa rin ako. Masarap kasing kiligin at mangarap ng gising. ‘Yung napapangiti ka lang out of the blue kahit mukha kang tanga. Pero ngayong gabi (umaga na nga, kahit wala pang araw) may audience ang katangahan ko. Sobra-sobrang sign na talaga… … na hindi n’ya ako gusto.
… na hindi ako ang ideal girl n’ya siguro.
… na hindi na dapat ibalik ‘yung aspiration ko sa kanya.
… na hindi ko makikita sa kanya ‘yung signs na hinahanap kong magiging indicator na may chance. Sa halagang P100.00, natauhan ako. Sa simpleng pusta, eto ako ngayon nagsusulat at isisiwalat LAHAT ng tinago ko. Sa tawa at joke na akala ng lahat eh joke at ‘yun lang, may laman pala. Totoo na all jokes are half meant. Pakipindot ito para sa kabuuang kwento Ü
