Movie QT

Last year, I watched My Amnesia Girl with my dad...

This year, I took the advantage of 'cheaper' rates in the Philippines again, so while on vacation, I watched breaking dawn.  It doubled as a QT with my mom who slept beside me for the whole film. Hehehe.

*watched it for the sake of being 'in' not a big fan of twilight lang...

Wanting to spend quality time before jen goes for vacation...we trooped to the cinemas with Ate and Mike to watch MI:Ghost Protocol

*i love Tom Cruise and i love Mission Impossible more...

And just last night...grabbing the opportunity for a QT with Gina, kahit naghihilik pa siya sa tabi... I 'forced' her to watch 'My Week with Marilyn'

*don't watch if you're not a Norma Jeane fan...not recommended. :D

Happy birthday, Jesus!
:D

Pray. Share. Advocate

I cannot muster enough strength to write...
I don't want to look at the pictures...nor the figures...
I simply want to pray for them.

Was touched by Kuya Kirby's article.
Pray. Share. Advocate.

Lord, please bless our country.
Bless those who have something to share to find it in their hearts the need to share.
Embrace all those who were directly hit by Sendong.
Hug them, please.

Club Seven

Usapang mga nightspots sa Dubai.

OFC1   :   Nakapunta na ako sa Club Seven, eh
AKO    :   Ah, talaga? Sa tawid lang namin yun, eh...
SIYA    :   Ay, ate katapat nun Spinneys, eh. Sa likod lang kayo ng Spinneys?
AKO    :   Oo, sa likod lang Spinneys
SIYA    :  Ahhhh...Sa Sun and Sands ka pala nakatira...

---katahimikan---
(hindi ako nakatiis)

AKO   :   Golden Sands, _ _ _ .
SIYA   :   Ay, Golden Sands pala...Tatahimik na lang nga ako. masusulat na naman ako,eh.

TS Sendong

 “Sendong” (international codename: Washi)

Lord, I pray for all those affected, in one way or another, by Tropical Strom Sendong.  May they find refuge in your loving arms.  Those whose loved ones died as a result of the storm, I pray that they find in their hearts strength to continue trusting in the Lord.  For all those who are still missing, may families affected be united in time for Christmas.
Lord, please bless our country. 
Make us more prepared so that calamities like these will not wreak such havoc in any areas.
We lift up our country to You. Amen.

Josh prays

YM Chat with Ate Mai

(Before I left, I lined-up several personal intentions that Josh, my pamangkin-inaanak should pray for.  Sabi ko kasi kapag siya ang nagdadasal for me, natutupad agad.  He holds the record of praying for new work for me sa Pinas, palagi namang mabilis na nakakahanap ako kapag siya na ang nagdadasal.)

Ako   :   Ate, don't forget to pray for me, ha.
Ate    :   hindi kinakalimutan ng inaanak mo'ng lalaki...hindi ko na kailangang ipaalala sa kanya.

:D Thank You, Jesus for the love....

judiciary week

dahil ayaw ko'ng mag-blog ng pagkahaba-haba...
but i want to remember this day...week...as a memorable week for the judiciary...
i'll use words, instead

impunity
- exemption from punishment

complicit
- associated with or participating in a questionable act or a crime

De jure (in Classical Latin de iure) is an expression that means "concerning law", as contrasted with de facto, which means "concerning fact"


may humabol pa

bonhomie
- frank and simple good-heartedness; a good-natured manner; friendliness

miffed
- put into an irritable mood, especially by an offending incident

laarni

Conversations with Laarni

• right-under-your-nose
• smack-in-your-face
• read between the lines
• action speaks louder than words

In the end...the big ate in me simply wanted to hug her...
Haaayyyy...

long neck

Ilang araw nang panlamig na ang sinusuot ko sa ofc.  Hindi nakatiis ang kaopisina ko'ng batiin ako.

SIYA:   Ate, winter na winter ka na, ah.
AKO:   Oo naman.
SIYA:   Palagi ka'ng naka-LONG NECK, eh.
AKO:   Ano ako, bote ng alak o bote ng suka? LONG NECK talaga?

An Ode to a Dear Friend

I was chatting with mel and browsing thru my ym chats as well...
then I came across my old chats
Lorelie was asking me to buy 8 oz feeding bottles for Asha
Malaki na daw kasi si Asha...kulang na sa kanya ang 4 oz niya.

:(
Sabi ko ayaw ko magsulat about her...
Umpisa pa lang kasi iyak na ako ng iyak.
at shempre umiiyak na nga ako...hay Lie!

I want to remember the Lorelie that we love.

Ikaw yung unang nagpa-realize sa akin ng 'may pinagdadaanan'
-CLP Training, lagi may kwento as to how you were led to attend in spite of and despite of...
-lagi kasing 'amy pinagdadaanan' (peace, Lie!)

Ikaw yung nagpatibay ng household natin
-you wanted exclusivity; you didn't want joint households...in a good way. we were sharing so much private and personal matters you wanted it to be between and within the bounds of momi jho's household lang

Ikaw yung madaling lapitan sa paghingi ng tulong
-financial man yan...makakausap man yan...basta mag-ready lang sa kantyaw mo.

Ikaw yung masarap pilitin
-kasi nagpapapilit ka naman...matulog lang kami sa bahay niyo, ksama ka na naming a-attend sa teaching kinabukasan...tamad mo kasi...aging! (peace ulit, mwah!)

Ikaw yung ayaw sa marumi, sa madilim, ayaw sa maputik...
-linya nga yan sa pelikula...na paborito mo'ng sinasabi kasama ng iba't-iba pa'ng linya...
malupit ka kasi sa mga famous lines...malupit ka sa memoryahan.

Ikaw yung nakakatanda ng mga kaganapan
-alam ko kung ano'ng petsa tayo nag-graduate, date, year and day.
ganoon ka kalupit

At shempre...
Ikaw yung videoke queen
-sino samin nila Gina ang makakalimot nang malupit mo'ng "I can name that tune in one note!"
lupit mo tlaga...And indeed, you can name the tune. :D
Kinabisado ma na yata lahat ng kanta sa videoke

Mapa-pelikula, mapa-kanta...sabi ko nga you were born durign the golden years....an era wherein the culture and and genre of music is at its richest....

Kailangan ko pa ba'ng sabihin na maganda ang boses mo?
-sabi ko nga kay Gina, kung may brokenness ako...yun ay hindi kita napanood while performing live during the Home Natcon. definitley a rare opportunity kasi napkamaiyain mo sa gitna ng mga talento mo

At may tatalo pa ba sa brokenness ko na...anjan ka na sa tabi ko pero hindi pa kita nayakap...niyakap actually.  dahil ayaw ko'ng maiyak. dahil you looked so fragile i'm scared i'll hurt you.  dahil alam ko magkikita pa tayo sa pag-uwi namin ni Gina ng Feb...

Maybe I haven't mourned enough kaya ako ganito....mabigat ang iyak, masakit sa dibdib....Maybe because it's still fresh it's so easy to be on denial stage.  Maybe it's so painful I chose to bury it....

Whatever...

Basta alam ko...what i want to remember fondly, you always assure us na alam mo'ng mahal ka namin.
Kapag nakakausap kita palagi mo'ng sinasabi, "alam ko naman pinagdadasal niyo ako"
and in an instant I am relieved. and in an instant I feel so loved by you...kasi naniniwala ka sa amin sa household. Thank you na kahit kami yung dapat nag-a-assure sa iyo, you're always ready with your love for us.

Love you, Lie. Mahal na mahal ka namin.
At Salamat na mahal na mahal mo rin kami.
andami ko pa'ng gustong sabihin....
kaya lang mas gusto ko na muna'ng umiyak
and mourn for a while....
get in touch with the reality
na binabantayan mo na kami ngayon from above.

Love you.  Till we meet again...

tell me where it hurts

"Tell me where it hurts, now, tell me...
And I'll do my best to make it better..."

the singer went on...


Why does this song sound so familiar?
Yay! Then I remembered...
The bee still hasn't lost its sting
it was just sleeping in its honeycomb
waiting for the next attack of sorts....

I smiled and fought back
whatever unrecognizable negative emotions
the memories brought with it

i don't know how to finish this post
i want to believe I'm way past 'it'
There...The End.

Thank You, Lord for the short yet sweet vacation. 

Thank You so, so much po.

You Can Let Go

When Tatay Danced with Ate during the wedding, this was the song...
thanks to Laarni for the suggestion

You Can Let Go

Wind blowing on my face
Sidewalk flying beneath my bike
A five year olds first taste
Of what freedom's really like
He was running right beside me
His hand holding on the seat
I took a deep breath and hollered
As I headed for the street

"You can let go now daddy
You can let go
Oh I think I'm ready to do this on my own
It's still a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be okay now daddy
You can let go"

I was standing at the altar
Between the two loves of my life
To one I've been a daughter
To one I soon would be a wife
When the preacher asked
"Who gives this woman?"
Daddy's eyes filled up with tears
He kept holding tightly to my arm
'Til I whispered in his ear:

"You can let go now daddy
You can let go
Oh I think I'm ready to do this on my own
It's still feels a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be okay now daddy
You can let go"

It was killing me
To see the strongest man I ever knew
Wasting away to nothing in that hospital room

"You know he's only hanging on for you"
That's what the night nurse said
My voice and heart were breaking
As I crawled up in his bed and said:

You can let go now daddy
You can let go
Your little girl is ready to do this on my own
Its gonna be a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be okay now daddy
You can let go
You can let go

clp

i want to know why

after some deep thinking...
i just want it stopped...
even without knowing why...
because i have been taught otherwise...
only to be shown a different action eventually...
ayyy...

a day of bloghopping

"Do not become upset when difficulty comes your way. Laugh in its face and know that you are in the arms of God." ~St. Francis de Sales


What makes life and its beauties so precious and something to be valued is the fact that it isn’t forever. - Fr. James Kubickis, S.J.

 I believe in the Dentist kind of love, who for the greater good of his patients would take the infected, decaying tooth off to save the lives of his patients regardless of the initial and temporal pains that may accompany such an act.

"Those who glory in their looks – not in their hearts – dress to please others." Saint Clement of Alexandria


I’ve noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born. ~Ronald Wilson Reagan, New York Times, September 22, 1980


They took that little baby that was making little sounds and moving and kicking, and set it on that table in a cold, stainless steel bowl. Every time I would look over while we were repairing the incision in uterus and finishing the Caesarean, I would see that little person moving in that bowl. And it kicked and moved less and less, of course, as time went on. I can remember going over and looking at the baby when we were done with the surgery and the baby was still alive. You could see the chest was moving and the heart was beating, and the baby would try to take a little breath, and it really hurt inside, and it began to educate me as to what abortion really was. ~Quoted in "Pro-Choice 1990: Skeletons in the Closet"


Today's bloghopping made me cry, smile, ponder and be more convicted of my beliefs.

sandwich cupcake

i want to remember today:

bacon and cheese sandwich from jen
walnut and raisin banana cupcake from rottie

:D
sarap...

argh moments

I’m being ungrateful I know……..


Supposed to be I’m still ‘high’ from His blessingsssss

I am still high…

Ang sarap sa pakiramdam buying things for yourself after so many months…years na I would scrimp on pampering myself due to low budget…

Pero salamat sa blessing niya.

Salamat sa kung anu-ano pang blessings…

Katatapos lang ng birthday ko…

Salamat sa inyo

Salamat sa lahat ng nakapaligid…

Pero iba lang tama ng taba ko…

Argh!

love. generosity.

His love infinite...
His generosity immeasurable...

Thanks for the giftssss, Lord.

Thank you for the bonuses**
We paid for a full body massage
The promo said you get a free full body scrub
SARAP!

Thank you for the dental clinic accommodation

Thank you for the blessing from the company

Thank you for freedom against another bank...konti na lang po!

And I'm counting my blessings....
Because you never fail to supply me everyday....

SALAMAT PO.

Oktubre!

"Oktubre!" pasigaw ko'ng sagot nung nakakahiya man ngunit sumali kami sa isang palaro sa isang show sa TV.  Parang kailan lang...ngayon, napaka-meaningful pala ng Oktubre sa akin.
Marami ako'ng gustong kalimutan. Pero alam ko'ng mas marami ako'ng dapat ipagpasalamat.

Kaya,
Salamat po.

At sa bagong imbitasyong natanggap ko...
Pinadaan mo lang po sa ibang tao...
Pero alam ko po, galing sa Inyo.
Nakalimutan ko na po kasi.
Kaya ko pala, naipaalala Niyo po.

Kaya,
Salamat po.

Alam ko matatapos ko.
Hindi man buong-buo...
pero tiyak, buo ang saya ko.
Kasi kaya ko pala, naipalala Niyo.
At Kayo po gumawa ng paraan para maayos ito.

Kaya,
Salamat po.

Salamat po.
Sa Isang Taon po ulit. :D

kaarawan

Thank you po for the 'week-long' celebration.
Ang saya.
Ang sarap.
Spoiled.
Pampered.
Loved.

Salamat po.

i want to remember this day

I want to blog because I want to remember this day...

This day will be rembered as proof
that God works behind the scenes
that God is inside people's hearts
that God sends His love through the people around us


My morning was filled with love from my best
She was uber proud that I was on Balitang Middle East
And Tita Elle even supported her by giving the Youtube link
Waaaahhhh....

My afternoon was showered with affirmation that I will be healed in all aspects
with a 'deal' from Jo to attend the Filipino Mission
Filipino Mission. It's been quite a while since I last 'attended' this
and with the right posture of heart at that...

Ayun lang...
I don't know how to express the overwhelming high I am experiencing right now.
I wasn't able to encapsulate it with what I wrote above.
But I know, that's enough for me to remember this day...
And just the thought of these events will send positive emotiions surging through my veins
For sure!

Thank you, Father for always affirming me that You have never left my side as I continue my journey
Iloveyou, Father.  May I be able to bring back all the praise and glory to you.

winter

Fog in the morning,
Change is coming.

It's just around the corner,
if not now, I know it's sooner.

Summer will bid adieu,
It'll be cold in the morning dew.

So, bring it on,
Bring in the new season.

Crazy. Stupid. Love.

YES!  I trooped to the cinemas as soon as I learened they're showing it for the Eid holidays...

Okay, okay...first few scenes were b-o-o-o-r-i-n-g....
But it was meant to show the character's life turned to 'boring' already.
So...what am I talking about?

I went to Warner's official website to grab this screen shot...
And I got to take their quiz.

And my rating:

Yah, right.....
It's crazy, not stupid.
:)

Skyscraper


Skies are crying

I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence as it's ending, like we never had a chance
Do you have to, make me feel like there is nothing left of me?

[Chorus]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like i'm made of glass
Like i'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

As the smoke clears
I awaken, and untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better to watch me while I bleed?
All my windows, still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet

[Chorus]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper

Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

[Bridge]
Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear, yeah
Go run, run, run
Yeah it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper, Oh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

Demi Lovato Skyscraper lyrics found on http://www.directlyrics.com/demi-lovato-skyscraper-lyrics.html

-thanksgiving-

sabi ng mamu ko...


iniisip ko lang kung paano tayo pinagtagpu-tagpo ng Panginoon...


taga iba't-ibang lugar

may iba't-ibang ugali

may kanya-kanyang topak

may kanya-kanyang daladalahin

kung iisipin, pwede naman tayong d nagkatagpo

pero kung ano man ang dahilan

salamat pa rin dahil nakilala ko kayo

salamat mga kaibigan ko

mahal ko kayo




iloveyoutoo!

I promised myself I'll blog about our encounter...
Here's a try:

After a failed attempt on Transformers, we rescheduled our date.
Pero mukhang he woke up on the wrong side of the bed kaya mommy was in tow.
Pagpasok pa alng ng bahay...
-----------
Jen: Hi, Mico
Mico: Tata Jejen!
Ako: Hi, baby
Mico: (deadma)

Waaah!
-----------

We tried na 'dayain' si Mico na saka na lang niya mapapansin na nawala na si Ate Sam.
While strolling, he looked up instinctively and of course, he'll notice Ate Sam wasn't there na.
And ending...trust vs. mistrust.

Ate Sam: Mico, sa stroller ka na. Sit there.
Mico: (lingon sa likod) Ninang, Na na? (Ninang, wala na?)

Ugh!
-----------

Gracie and friends joined us nung malapit nang mag-uwian.
Gracie was to bid Mico goodbye.

Eksena: Mico in between Ninang Gracie and (me)Ninang Cheche; but Mico was facing Ninang Gracie
Ate Sam: Mico, say bye-bye na to Ninang.
Mico: (pumihit pa talaga at humarap sa akin) BYEEEEEEE!

Argh!

------------

In fairness, na-enjoy ko naman siya when we were inside Magic Planet na.
He felt confident na wala nang ibang pupuntahan si Momi kundi samahan sia sa rides.
And he returned the favor naman...
He went with us solo per ride sa Magic Planet...
Ending, sumakay din kami sama-sama sa Caterpillar...
Lahat naging bata.

Ang gwapo kong date...Mico.

3 AM

(antagal ng last post ko...MAYO!)

Anyways...
I stayed up so late --- till 3AM kaninang uamga kasi I found a hidden treasure in an old laptop.
In it was BURLESQUE!

This was my post which is an understatement to how much I wanted to watch this movie...
And last night, while searching for Criminal Minds and Suspect Behaviour episodes, I stumbled upon this Christina Aguilera-Cher Movie.

I know what I want for my birthday...a DVD of Burlesque. (mababaw me.)

Two parts

One part healed; the other part wretched...

Thanks to Rona's infectious love for pigs...
It was so subtle I hardly noticed
I am fond of pigs again, Yey!
After she bought me that toothbrush holder from Bugis
To the Piglet Mouse Pad delivered through Gina
(which by the way I am not using for fear it'll be worn out, just like my othe 'pig' stuff)
Hmmm...this is something.
I can feel joy again whenever I collect pig-ables

I felt envious again that Rona had so much pig-stuff
Hahahahha! (envy is the key, pala)
From her sleeping buddy post which showed a cuuute pig stuff toy
To Medai's Racing Bib shot with Pig Wall Clock on the Background
(That I noticed right away...20/20 vision, eh)
I'm really back...

I was coercing Benz to buy pig stuff for me rin
Hahahha... Wawa naman Benz
Basta, ang saya!

-------
The part that is wretched

I don't know what and how it exactly happened...
We were on the phone, one moment
The next instance, I felt a thug in my heart
actually, a thug in 'unhealed' part

The devil sure knows where, when, and how to hit you
and he'll hit you hard
Kaya at the first sight of the wretched version of myself
I uttered my mantra of affirmation

I did cry, sure.

The flashback came so fast I wanted to watch Fast 5 to verify which is faster
(Hahahahah! Nice one... Dreaming I'll be inside the cinemas soon)
But before it can swallow me whole
Before it encroached my territory
I said, I proclaimed, I declared...Hey, that was from the past!
I know better now...

I am loved, being loved and will always be loved by my God.
Not that kid who's being shooed away anymore...
Breathe in the love of God...
God is good...

The pinch I felt in my heart lingered for a moment
My eyes were so chinky, hahahaha!
But I know deep within
I was able to control the flashback of the past from rushing in
Because I am loved
I am blessed with a new lease in life, a new lease in friendship
A new lease in all my relationships

Praise be to God!

Michelin

Rant! Rant! Rant!
grrr...
:D
Michelin!
Parang gulong lang sa kapal...

Thank you, Lord that by the time I am writing this blog, I have offered my 'pain' to you.
I was able to acknowledge to see beyond...
That I should just appreciate that I have crossed over...
And I pray she can and will be able to cross over soon...

So we will be more fit to shepherd your peeps.
Thank you.


*pain
stop the selfishness
it is not about me
it should never be
it is about helping
and reaching out
and repairing
and correcting
and most especially
about leading them closer to you

:D

Mighty...

I hope...

I really do...

I already missed Burlesque...

I hope not to miss you on the cinemas...

A different one-in-a-million

You're one in a million
Oh... Now...
You're one in a million
Oh

Sometimes I can't hate you every day
Sometimes you can fall for everyone you see
Only one can really make me stay
A sign from the sky
Said to me

C:
You're one in a million
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover all the stars above us
You're one in a million You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover all the stars above us

I've been looking for that special one
And I've been searching for someone to give my love
And when I thought that all the hope was gone
You smile, there you were and I was gone
I always will remember how I felt that day
A feeling indescribable to me
Yeah

I always knew there was an answer for my prayer
And you, you're the one for me

C -2X

I was cool and everything was possible
You tried to catch me but it wasn't possible
Nobody could hurt me it was my game
Until I met you baby and went insane
And when you didn't want me, I wanted you
Because the finer thing bout it was I like to go
I like it when its difficult I like it when it's hard
You know it's worth it if ya find your heart

C - 2X

You're one in a million
Oh...
You're one in a million

I'm no beauty queen...I'm just beautiful me!

This song's been ringing in my ears since two weeks ago...
I just keep on forgetting to download the lyrics...
Here it is...finally!


WHO SAYS
(Selena Gomez)

I wouldn't wanna be anybody else.
You made me insecure
Told me I wasn’t good enough
But who are you to judge
When you’re a diamond in the rough
I’m sure you got some things
You’d like to change about yourself
But when it comes to me
I wouldn’t want to be anybody else

Na na na Na na na

I’m no beauty queen
I’m just beautiful me

Na na na Na na na

You’ve got every right
To a beautiful life
C'mon

Chorus (My Dancing part...heheheh)
Who says
Who says you’re not perfect
Who says you’re not worth it
Who says you’re the only one that’s hurting
Trust me
That’s the price of beauty
Who says you’re not pretty
Who says you’re not beautiful
Who says


It’s such a funny thing
How nothing’s funny when it’s you
You tell ‘em what you mean
But they keep whiting out the truth
It’s like a work of art
That never gets to see the light
Keep you beneath the stars
Won’t let you touch the sky

Na na na Na na na

Bridge
Who says
Who says you’re not start potential
Who says you’re not presidential
Who says you can’t be in movies
Listen to me, listen to me
Who says you don’t pass the test
Who says you can’t be the best
Who said, who said
Won’t you tell me who said that
Yeah, oh

A need to exhale

Noticing that I left my BBM Status on ‘household meeting’ I was thinking of something apt to describe the day.


I was uttering, Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday…

And then it hit me…

Yes, Tuesday….Choose day!

It’s Choose day…Choose to be happy; choose to be loving!

Nice!

Truth or Consequence Series

Jo was teasing me very early in the morning.
She mentioned something about truth or consequence...
and then the storytelling-a-lie in me got an idea...

Part I

Boy:   Laro tayo!
Girl:   Tara! Ano'ng game?
Boy:   Truth or Consequence
Girl:   Ha, Paano?
Boy:   Ako una.  Truth is Iloveyou...Consequence, I hope you love me too?


And it didn't stop there...
What if...what if...

Part II
Girl 1:   Ang cute naman ng kwento mo about truth or consequence...
Girl 2:   You wanna know the truth?  The story is twisted...pinagpalit ko yung characters dun sa kwento.  :-I

Omeng

after reminiscing a past escapade...
ang parting words...

a foretaste of what I'm capable of...
scared myself

cotton candy no more

had the rare opportunity to browse through my old blogs...
and stumbled upon the cotton candy post
ang layo na niya ngayong hinahanap ko ulit para i-link

am just so happy
that at this time and space
i am no cotton candy anymore...

tira-tira na...
yung matigas na sugar na mukhang tootsie roll
me mangilan-ngilang holes inside
pero sturdy and sweet
at pwedeng i-share...

:D

I'm sorry

We didn't get along from the start
I would demand this...
She would explain why it isn't possible

I would compare her to others
She would explain why
and bargain for a substitute, instead

I thought I got tired from continuously trying to capture her attention

We didn't jive, it's just that

And then after so many years of always asking
instead of seeking
So many years of listing what's lacking
instead of appreciating
Years littered with frustration
from lack of affirmation

At the right time
in God's perfect time
it just came
and then I understood

it's this thing called love
and love has varying languages
then I realized
love cannot be boxed
love cannot be demanded according to one person's standards
it can only be appreciated
it can be questioned so it can be better understood
but not condemned
it can only be sought
but you can never question its existence

when i confirmed everything
i appreciated better
and reciprocated more

Nanay, iloveyou
all those years i never understood
i failed to appreciate
all those years i thought differently
i failed to give
all those years i compared
i failed to recognize
all those years i demanded
i failed to be thankful

Nanay, iloveyou
Now, I know better
the difference in language matters
your was service
mine was time
yours was prayer
mine was touch
and for failing so it clearly
I'm sorry

Nanay, iloveyou
Let me make it up to you
Nanay, iloveyou
I know, appreciate, believe, am convicted, and confident
that you do love me
the language may be different
but the core is the same
the language may vary
but the message is universal

Nanay, iloveyou
Happy Mother's Day to you
And I pray for more years to be with you.

So I seek God in prayer
offering everything
and asking for nothing but love
in return

and then i prayed
so He'll purify my intentions
that it is not to gain advantage over someone
but to simply and really help
with genuine concern
so, when everything fell into place
thank You, Lord
for hearing my prayer

and may I continue to be humble in praying always
for my thoughts and actions to be purified

i hope
he hopes

i love
he loves

i really pray the cycle will find it's meaning and love-filled ending...
kasi naman...
naalala ko na naman si courage, the cowardly dog.
yun lang

interested or concerned

interested with the issue...
or
concerned about the people...

Save her

I cannot always save her from being hurt
That would be unfair for me…for my ‘other’ friends
We should be past that stage…covering up

I have to fight my own battle
And that battle is with myself
To learn to accept things

I cannot protect her
I am not supposed to protect her
I should not protect her
If it means shielding her and fighting her battles for her
I should let her fight her own battles, too.

Being happy where we are now is the key



*even Harry Potter had to ride a broom and get past several ‘keys’ attacking him to get the one true key….

meaningful

25Apr2011 03:15PM

Rhonz : at least naging meaningful ang break time ko (salamat sa inyong 2) hahahaha

Jen: At least may meaning ang Easter ko pala…

*hugs*

25Apr2011 03:05PM

It’s amazing what a hug can do to a person…
Okay…maybe for me, ‘a lot’ since my love tank is touch…
Anyways….

Happy and glad for that embrace
Never minding the disclaimer of no-bath-taken-yet…
The history of fish market-baqer mohebi-seafood cooking-kitchen cleaning-all together smell…. (gross, noh?)

Still…thank you.
Erased a lot of bad memories…
Replaced it definitely with new and sweet (smelling?) ones…


Thank You, Lord for the gift called tomorrow...where every opportunity to experience a better today lies...

scared

Matthew 12:43-45
- you scared me, huh.

talking or typing

Q   :   How many words per minute are you?
A   :   Talking or typing?  

*kulitan moments with tita millie

*erase (as translated into English)

 Na-realize mo?
Hindi masarap magpunta jan ng mag-isa
Adik ka kasi.
Ayun lang.
Gusto ko lang sabihin na adik ka.
Feeling ko naman ako ang isasama mo pagpunta mo jan?
Hindi rin.

letting it be

12Apr2011

I did it…
I politely (I think, it’s polite) told her I don’t want to discuss further
Just let it be
At least for the time being

Though I am reminded that, ‘it is never too early to love’ everyday.
I would like to think…
I am still on the road of loving myself first before anybody else.

Yallah!
*embrace to self…


I’ll conquer whatever ‘not-so-good’ feelings are coming my way.

It’s my story, not hers.
Selfish? Nah…just loving myself
So I can love better…in the near future.

Was amazed at a name of a grocery store we saw along the way home yesterday.

argH! Pinag-isipan???

ticket

11April2011. 5 minutes to 1pm

Salamat po sa mga moments na ganito
There is no sleeping pill better than a clear conscience
Bago pa po ako mag-commit…nililinis niyo na po agad ang daan
You are the same yesterday, today and forever

Dati, iniisip pa lang naming sa household, sinosolusyunan mo na
Ngayon…pumapasok pa lang sa isip ko
At hinihiling ko sa iyong tulungan mo ako
Nagawan mo na ng paraan…

Salamat po…(sa tiket)

too late - too early

11April2011



“Someday, we will forget the hurt, the reason we cried, and who caused us pain.
We will finally realize that the secret of being free is not revenge, but letting things unfold in their own way and time.
After all, what matters is not the first, but the last chapter of our lives which shows how well we ran the race.”

As we approach Holy Week may we be filled with the spirit of true conversion and expectant hope.
It is never too late to change, and it is never too early to love. (Fr. Jerry Orbos – 09April2011)






When my ‘someday’ comes…


I know it’ll come soon.


Happiness and peace ahead.


:D

Dear Cheche,

One day, you'll see the various events of your life—even the most painful ones—with new eyes.
They will be like jigsaw pieces that now all fit together.
The most difficult moments of your life are the lovely shadows that now make the painting of your life utterly magnificent.
Cheche, I will turn your mourning into joy, your sorrow into dancing. That's a promise.

Promise Keeper,
God

PS. Sometimes, you don't understand, Cheche. That's okay.
I don't call you to understand. I call you to trust Me.

but do I really have to care?

again...where am I coming from?

basta alam ko hindi sincere yung ginawa niyang yun...
O, pano mo nalaman....
Siya na naman inevaluate mo...eh ikaw?

Ahmmm...Basta ayaw ko dun.
Para kasing museum...yung mga artifacts naka-display kapag nag-browse ka.
At hindi ko pala feel maging artifact.
Masakit.
Ayyyuuuuuuun!

Bakit masakit?
:-X

Parang naawa lang kaya isinama sa museum.
Done in bad taste.
Last-ditch efforts to 'repair' but things suddenly went haywire...
Where would you search for sincerity sa ganung sequence of events.

seesaw

paborito ba kita?

kasi parang paborito kitang emosyon...seesaw...

not good....

really.

ilang araw na nadugo ang ilong ko

3.3.11

I just want to remember the date when, finally, and officially...
I brought home a BB and declared it as mine.
Hehehehe...

Brought it home days before pero didn't really put my SIM, entered into the social network package kaya it's not counted.

On Thursday, March 3, I told our IT Guru...
I'll take it.
Even if you're calling it 'horrible'

Then, together with Chattee and Caloy...
trooped to Al Attar Center to buy new casing sana
found it expensive, 90 AED eh...
settled for the rubber protector worth 20AED
heheheh
plus privacy screen cover worth 25 AED
cheap buys, eh.

50 AED credit and enrollment procedures...
Tada!
I have my own BB na...

Happiness lang sa unexpected gift.

PLUS
the 'up' I've been promised was finally made a reality.
Mixed emotions on this one...
I remember praying for it to be delayed so it won't make me 'guilty' when I decide to leave
or make it real right away as a sign that I should stay...

Well, it came.
And I'm still undecided...
hahahahhaha... adik ako, yes!

Am still praying...
Thank you for the uncertainties for they spice up our lives, make our minds work further, and our prayers more fervent and unceasing.

'date'

Salamat sa pamimilit na panoorin namin ito, friends.
Nag-enjoy kami...hehehehe...

Thinking about it, eto ba ang first movie ko for 2011?
