Pasensya ka na,
Sinasaktan lang kita
Ang minamahal mo
Nalilito na talaga
May piring ang matang
Nagmamaneho sa dilim
Saan papunta ang landas
Hindi natin masabi
Sadyang nakakapagod
Ang walang direksiyong pagsugod
Nakakasawa din pala
Kaya pasensya ka na
Nasaktan lang kita.
I've got my Starbucks Planner!!!
Congratulatuions also to Jhoy, whose bum ass will most likely get off the couch by January... Off to Bataan! Hopefully hindi sya matuloy dun (I honestly wish dito na lang sya kung saan hindi na kelangan ng NDD)...
Calling PNOC! Rescue Jhoy from the Iranians!!!
Nine days to go before Christmas and I haven't bought a single gift for anyone yet. Oh, except for this cute thing I bought for my tita, a gift I hope she'll like for its cuteness more than for its kakornihan...
Anyways, today I'll scour the internet for gift ideas. I'm tired thinking of what gifts to give these persons who seem to have everything. Now that it's too late to go bargain-hunting in 168 or Divi, I'm afraid I'm going to blow all my hard-earned cash in the next few days. Well, what's money anyways during this season?!
Find no fault in dreaming.
Suit yourself in dreaming even the impossible dream.
It's free.
BUT, I heard this line:
"Aim for the moon, for even if you miss you'll be among the stars."
...It said AIM.
What's a dream without doing something about it?
Just a dream.
But work on it, and marvel at the graciousness of God.
He'll bless you with what you hope for...
...If you do your part.
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
kung ako ay mamalasin
at mayroon ka ng ibang mahal
ngunit patuloy ang aking pag-ibig
magpakailanman
di kita pipilitin
sundin mo ang iyong damdamin
hayaan na lang tumibok ang puso mo
para sa akin
~~para sa akin by sitti~~
Jing, her makulit na pamangkin Joshua, and I went to Iloilo last December 2. And here's what I have to say about our 2-day trip!
The food. Well we did not get to taste the best of what Iloilo had to offer in terms of what comes from their kitchen. But we had a serving of Italian food at Afrique's, as recomme
nded by Hess, a friend and an erstwhile co-employee at Air Philippines. Afrique's is a quaint little resto which didn't have aircon yet surprisingly our dining experience there was totally worthwhile. The interiors of the place beamed of Yuletide decors. Of course,the food was delicious. The Sicilian pizza, though I had just one slice, was super sarap. The Burger had this large patty with a generous serving of coleslaw over it. We ordered two burgers, I shared mine with Hess, and Joshua, well he ate everything plus lots more! I am sure he devoured 4 slices of pizza. And the pasta! Grabe, ang sarap! Yun nga lang di ako masyado nakakain, because of... well, Jing knows. Hehehe!What if I never texted you back
What if I never answered your calls
Would you still be as persistent as you are now,
Or just fade into the background, melting with the shadows
Would you wait till everything becomes right
Or would you do me a favor and make them all right
What if you were with me and not with her
What if I choose to leave this place and stay with you there
Would you care enough to give me a chance
Or would you just let me go through this dizzying trance
Would you make me live forever in this insanity
Or would you let me loose and set my heart free.
It's funny how you find someone who knows just what to say. At the right place. At the right time. How he becomes your happiness, knowing that having him in your life was the best thing that ever happened to you. Suddenly you hear the lines, "How did you know, I needed someone like you in my life..." And, somehow you become amazed that all these are happening NOT within the context of falling in love, being in love, or somewhere else in between. All you know is you need to be with him. Forever.
...
The story happens when someone you like becomes someone you cannot live without. Maybe that is love, maybe it's not. How do we tell the difference, when falling inlove, as difficult as it is, becomes even more complicated because of circumstantial events you tend to over-analyze?
...
You thought you were falling inlove. You cannot empty your thoughts of visions of you and him, together living a blissful life. He calls you up, and you fight the urge to sound giggly and mega-excited. You fight the feeling, but both of you knowing you are truly compatible leaves you defenseless. You struggle to move on, for it's not just meant to be. He is with someone else. Someone else more compatible with him than you are with him. And he cannot break it up. He will not break it up. For you.
...
Then you think of all the reasons why. You grope for all ways on how you will not lose him, because you cannot simply live without him. You laugh at how pathetic you are, and pride yourself with the thought that you are not worthy of all this nonsense. But there is this nagging voice telling you you have shared so much, would you let it all go down the drain? You get a headache. Loving was not as simple as it used to be, loving wasn't supposed to weaken you. Love was supposed to inspire. To nurture. Make you strong. Grow in wisdom.
...
Of course, loving is not all that bad. You search your heart and found a spot waiting for him. We can be friends, you thought, so you will not lose him forever. Loving isn't necessarily marrying someone. You still end up together. As friends. But you still end up together. Just as you hoped for, remember?
Never ever ignore those goosebumps.
As posted below, the bday party came a day after my actual birthday. Who cares anyways.
Someone I was chatting with earlier complained that I did not invite them to the party. Told him that he didn't even know it was my birthday last week had I not told him earlier, so why is he demanding an explanation on why he wasn't on the invite list! Anyways, maybe next time if my budget permits it be, I'd invite everyone I know. I wonder when and how that would ever happen.
Here's a bit of trivia. Did you know that no one from the office knew it was my birthday, thus no one except my boss and my officemate greeted me? Oh there was another one who greeted me from the Engineering department, and he even joined us in our party of four. I'm not complaining, by the way. Hindi naman ako ganun papansin! Hehehe. Mabuti na ang low profile!
I'm posting the pics of the salo-salo here. Maybe someone I know will come across them, and perhaps next year, they will greet me right on my actual birthday.
From left, there's Jhoy, holding up the fortune plant I specifically requested as my birthday gift. The fortune plant, which I am naming King (short for Kingswald) is planted on a small glass of cubed jellies. Yes, pink jelly cubes! The instructions of taking care of the plant, errr, King, are pretty simple. Wash the jelly cubes once in a while. I would assume every other day as there is a cloud of invisible dust in my room, and the morphing of dust and jellies and moisture and a living thing could very well become very kadiri. Nways, there's Rona at the center wearing pink. Buti na lang the pic here has been reduced so you can't see the butils of kanin sa polo nya na pinagtawanan namin nang sobra, ewan ko ba kung bakit nakakatawa! Hahahaha. And there's Nellie in red, who enjoyed the seafood soup (that's the metal bowl on her left!) so much!
After the hearty late lunch, syempre videoke time na. So change-venue kami. Before proceeding to our family venture, PINKSTATION, syempre we had to pass through Takeshi's Castle a.k.a. our Kabilang Bahay Na Sobrang Gulo. While there, pumasok ang tropa sa mini Aviary ng nanay ko...
Okay, so we made it through the Takeshi's Castle. The pic here naman was taken while th
ey were getting ready for the videoke challenge. Notice Nellie preparing the categories of songs, Jhoy checking out the song list, and Rona bringing it on! You'd be surpised to know, that our videoke queen Nellie won (quite predictably...) by only two points over... Rona! Another guest arrived: Cjay. Pa-late ang drama! hehehe. Syempre kung late ang lunch, late din ng dinner. Imagine nakakain pa rin kami ng kanin at ulam kahit naubos namin ang kalahating tray ng custard cake! Yikes! Ang blood sugar! Ang blood sugar! Hahaha.
to be concluded...
I just celebrated my 27th birthday last Friday, October 20. A small party followed on the next day, attended by four special friends, Cjay, Jhoy, Nellie & Rona.
