every year, our company hosts a trick or treat event for the kids. since i still don't have kids of my own, i bring my nephew or niece. this year, it was yuan's turn. we bought him a spiderman costume which he didn't like. he wanted a buzz lightyear or a mr. incredibles costume but we couldn't find any. since ninang thought any costume was better than no costume at all, went ahead and bought

i was out with my college friend last wednesday and we got to talk about finding someone. he has been set up by another friend of his on a blind date. he said he was getting tired of those kinds of dates since they normally don't work. at least not for him. i have never gone on a blind date because one, i have this fear of seeing disappointment in the other person's eyes and two, there is so

a lot people are leaving and moving on with their lives. my college barkada are scattered all around the world --- bahrain, austria, new zealand and the u.s. officemates have resigned and moved to singapore and australia.i once thought of leaving the country but it hasn't been for a while now. during my first project in my current company (which was almost 9 years ago), i got a chance to

it's been a while since my last post and it's funny to think that a movie can push me to write again. kakauwi lang namin pagkatapos manood ng "no other woman". yes, tagalog movie. sa mga hindi nakanood (pasensya na sa mga gusto pang manood), ang plot ng story is that ram (derek ramsay) and cha (cristine reyes) are a happily married couple. ram is a furniture designer and cha is a housewife.

i have been voting since i was 18. my catholic high school upbringing has not just taught me how to be a good person (which i hope i am) but also to be involved and not be apathetic. getting into UP diliman cemented that. unfortunately, in all these instances, the candidate i've voted for did not become the president. 1992 - fidel ramos / miriam defensor-santiago (i voted for jovito salonga)

have you ever felt so down that it seems that you are stuck, wallowing in your sadness while the rest of the world goes on? i feel that way today. i feel like a total and utter failure. i keep on looking back and thinking, if i had done things differently, if i had made a different decision, would things have worked out for the better?i went home trying to get some answers, trying to get some

they say you have to forgive and forget. i know i've blogged about this before. but when someone you love betrays you, it's hard to forgive... or even forget. sometimes, i feel it's better not to think about it so that i won't feel the hurt. because everytime i remember what happened, i can't help but shed some tears. even if i am just hearing a song that reminds me of that person, my heart

as the final day draws near, my heart constricts. my heart is getting heavier everyday and might burst at the seams when the day finally arrives. but i also understand that it's something that needs to happen and i have no control over it. even if i do, i would not want to influence it as the decision is not mine to take. what is supposed to happen will.

di naman ako inggitera. di din naman ako ambisyosa. pero minsan, parang feeling ko, napag-iiwanan na ako. di naman ata siya dahil sa lack of effort. sure, di ako bibo, aminado naman ako. pero sa tingin ko naman, i have also something to offer. so isip ko, baka di ko na makikita kung ano ang hinahanap ko kung nasaan ako ngayon. i might need to be more open to other opportunities and

ang hirap talaga mag-small talk. i guess, i'm more of a listener than a talker. nag-lunch kami kanina at kelangan ko talagang bumibo mag-isip ng mga topics para may mapag-usapan kami. kasi mga kasama namin is mga bossing ng client sa project and mahirap naman na di namin sila kausapin. kaya nga bilib na bilib ako sa mga tao na magaling makipag-usap... na nakakahanap ng topics na pwede

isang taon na pala since my last post. so obviously, hindi ako naging masipag mag-post last year. di ko na rin tuloy matandaan ang mga nangyari. buti na lang may facebook: ginia and sam got married... met with joel before he and his family went to new zealand... jeddah cutover... boracay getaway with mark, aj and rogel... three week vacation after six years... we finally have cable tv!!!...

i've been trying to wean myself of something. it seems that i'm either a baby or an addict. or maybe a little bit of both. i've had a few slip ups and i've been scolding myself for all of those instances. i'm just hoping that in time, it'll be easier and i'll get rid of this habit eventually.in the mean time, i have to go through the pains of it.

start of the year. and really, i haven't done much retrospective thinking or any planning for the future. it might be because i am still in vacation mode and i don't want to do a lot of thinking these days. also because these days, thinking makes me reason and sometimes, it really doesn't help my state of being.i was looking at my previous posts just to give me an insight on what happened last

went out last night with the girls --- emma and bea. friends sila ni alba (yung project manager na pinalitan ko). nakakatuwa sila kasi very friendly talaga. emma is upbeat and positive. bea is very nice... kahit na minsan, nahihirapan siyang mag-english, kinakausap pa rin niya ako. she's always smiling and is very sweet. well, akala ko kaming tatlo lang ang lalabas pero sinama nila si

it was my first weekend in madrid and i was alone. don't get me wrong, wala naman akong reklamo. there are good points in being alone in a new place. wala akong kelangang intindihing iba... kung kelan ko gustong umalis, ok lang. kung saan ko gustong pumunta, ok lang din. although, there are also some not-so-good points... like, mahirap kumuha ng picture mag-isa. either nagmumukha akong ewan

nakaka-dismayang isipin na merong mga tao na kayang ipagpalit ang tama dahil lang sa pera. i don't want to seem holier-than-thou and i may be clueless to their reasons or i just never went through what they're undergoing. i may be too sheltered or protected in my life to understand. and i can't meld the idea that someone who's supposed to know better and you're supposed to look up to would be

ok, so it's been some time now since i last put up a post. it's been busy but i know that's not an excuse. so what's been happening to me?- went home after my three-month stint in france- was assigned to an australia project but did not push through- took on another project based in australia when one of my teammates resigned- was asked to help out another project for the site CMMI certification

i met up with an old friend yesterday.it's been years since we last saw each other and as fate would have put it, we crossed paths at petron nlex, while we were on our way home from neil's wedding. i went into mcdonald's to buy a sundae when i saw him. needless to say, it was a very nice surprise. i think i was so shocked to see him after all these years that i forgot to ask for his number.

i normally don't listen to the radio when i am driving home as my ipod is the one that is usually keeping me company. today, however, i did not feel the urge to open my ipod. i thought some silence will do me good. at one point, however, i thought of opening my radio. and this is the first song that played...almost loveryou fingertips against my skinthe palm trees swaying in the windimagesyou

i was still not feeling like my usual self when i thought of reading today's gospel.matthew 7, 7-12 ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. for everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread, or a

i think i may have been working too hard.i had a minor breakdown today. i was feeling the pressure of having to finish the RFP that we needed to submit, the setups that i needed to finish for an initiative that i didn't want to get involved in and the requirements we needed to have our changes moved to production. i tried to look for a room to go to just to have a break but i could not find one

thoughts as i was shopping yesterday, saved in my cellphone"haaay... it's a very humbling experience. although i don't think i'm even proud to begin with. really, it's now a challenge for me to take it all in stride and not let it affect me. my goodness, i thought i was too old for this insecurity thing but i guess i was wrong."***i was watching sop this afternoon when they sang songs of the

today is not a very good day. the year really is not starting too well for me. but this time it's not about me. i am just part of the story.i think i'm still in shock. i'm not feeling too much. and i am not thinking either. i might have gone numb. or forced myself to go numb without actually meaning to. is this my way of coping with things? i might be tucking all these in the pockets of

ok, so it's not the best way to start the year... hell, it's a crappy way to start the year but it has started and i really did not have any control on how it turned out. the thing is, what happened today probably woke me up from this dream state that i am in. yeah, in-your-face-wake-up-because-you're-in-dreamland thing. it sucks but they always said that the truth hurts. serves me right.so

there are times when you have to decide whether or not to speak. because once you say something, you cannot get it back. it's already out there.it took me a while to share something to two of my closest friends. why? i really don't know. maybe it's just too close to home. all of my other friends knew. but they would not be able to relate to what i say, no matter how hard they try. and in

self-pity is a battle i try to get through. although at times i try to act as if i am this confident woman-of-the-world who has come to terms with who she is, there are still instances when my insecurities come rising to the surface. even though i can probably hide it from the rest of the world, i can't fake it deep inside. and it wears me down.i'll be ok. i know i'll be. this is just a bump

things are going to be different soon. i promise. i have told people repeatedly that events in your life will happen again and again until you have learned the life lesson it's supposed to bring. well, it seems i haven't learned my lesson. i am now resolved not to do it anymore. maybe then my life will change for the better.

a couple of days ago, the barangay and sangguniang kabataan elections were held. we went to batangas to vote. as per usual, i asked my aunt who to vote for because i don't know the people who were running. one question still remains on my mind. are there still people running whose reason is simply to serve the people? in my heart of hearts, i am hoping that the answer to this question is yes

i hate it when people cancel at the last minute. i even cited this as my pet peeve. siguro kasalanan ko din dahil pina-plano ko ang takbo ng buhay ko sa iba. so when they change plans, i am left hanging. no worries, i'll try to make sure this is the last time this rattles me. next time, i'll make sure that i think of myself first.

this morning, my manager sent me a text message saying that we can work from home today if we will find it hard to go to the office as long as it does not affect our work. ummm.. i had no choice but to go to ortigas because i left my laptop in my trolley. so i forwarded her message to the rest of the team and went on my way. the traffic was slow from sucat to bicutan and somewhere past that.

a friend told me indirectly that i have no taste. in my defense, i think that speaks well of me since it shows that i consider personality more than i do looks, right? it's not as if i don't take looks into consideration. i'm not going to be self-righteous and say all those hulabaloo --- that what is inside is more important than what is outside ekek. this may be true but let's face it, it's

when my manager told me that i would be handling a project, i was both apprehensive and excited. i felt it was time for me to move on to something bigger but the idea of handling that big of a responsibility scared me. i agreed on the premise that i would never know if i could be a good project manager if i didn't try. this was the best opportunity for me to try project management since it was

i am not one to be open about my feelings, especially when they're not nice feelings. it's easy for me to show my happiness or excitement but never sadness or pain. i'd rather go to a dark corner and cry without anybody seeing it, as i've always done since i was little. at this point, i really do not know if i am blocking my feelings to pretend that everything is alright with the world or if i

i think i've started one before but never really got to asking people to put in their perspective. so what's the point, right? so here i am, doing it again and joining the bandwagon, if you want to call it that. tell me what you think of me via my johari window. i promise i won't take it against you, as long as you're honest. :)

it's been a long journey but i have finally reached the end.it's amazing how what other people say can influence the way you think and how you perceive things. you sometimes end up creating an image in your head that's opposite from what's true and so detached from reality. but since it's fed into your system constantly, this illusion starts to become your reality. it is a hard battle to fight

after a long while, i finally got to see a friend today. we chat once in a while via our office instant messenger but since he was far away on assignment (and so was i), we never got to spend any time together. unfortunately, when he came home, he already resigned from the company.i was in shock. actually, matagal na niyang sinabi sa akin na ayaw na niyang bumalik sa office sa pinas. i just

he's skating in the u.s. national short track championships. the love of my life (haha!) is excelling in his sport as always, in spite of not competing last year. he's still on top of his game. i am still frustrated that i could have been able to watch him compete had i stayed in cincinnati (the competition was in cleveland which is just three hours away!).soon, he'll be competing in dancing

no, not on a jetplane and not even on a midnight train. he's just leaving the company and the team. and i am sad. we are all sad. and panic-stricken. because he is like the legs that the team stand on. what are we going to do without him? of course, we'll cope. simply because we have to. but still...*sigh*we're going to miss him terribly. hugs and well-wishes all the way to cincinnati.

as i was going to work this morning, i thought of something... i've always imagined spending my life with someone. i guess being a romantic does that to you. i cherish every giddy feeling... those that i experience first hand and even those that i've felt through the stories of my friends. but after a while, i've trained myself not to dwell too much on the thought of a special someone. at the

so i did. i asked God for a sign. usually, i would wait for days and days and not receive anything. God must've known i needed it badly this time so he gave in. but He did not say that the sign he would be giving me is the one i'd hope he would. it was more of a wake up call for me. i think it was His way of telling me that some things are just not meant to be.

one good thing about singing in rish and vin's wedding is that i bought carrie underwood's cd. i needed to get a copy of inside your heaven and decided to buy the album. i loved both jesus take the wheel and don't forget to remember me from hearing them on the radio and seeing their mtvs. both songs made me cry (yes, i am admittedly, a crybaby), especially when i saw the mtv of jesus take the

kababalik lang namin ni rose from megamall after a looong lunch break. pero hindi naman namin ginamit yung buong lunch break namin sa pagkain. syempre may chikahan. tapos, pumunta kami sa cebu pacific para bumili ng tickets papuntang boracay. yes, people, may balak po kaming pumunta ng boracay dahil may promo sila na 99 pesos one-way airfare. pero bago pa man kami nagpunta ng cebu pacific

maaga pa lang, naghanda na kami para sa new year. dumating sina ate tetet, kuya weng, franco at sofia sa bahay ng lunch. hindi kasi sila makakasama sa amin sa pag-celebrate ng bagong taon kasi dun naman sila sa mga albis sasama. nung pasko kasi, sa amin sila naki-celebrate kaya sa kabilang side naman ng family sila this time. nakakatuwa kasi good mood si franco nun. nung binigyan kasi siya

malapit na ang bagong taon. ilang oras na lang, 2007 na. isa lang ang new year's resolution ko for 2007: maging masaya. sa tingin ko kasi, sa buhay ko, nag-iintay ako ng mga bagay para makapagpasaya sa akin. either may pupuntahan ako o may gagawin ako o may mangyayari para maging masaya ako. sa araw-araw kasi, parang deadma lang. hindi ako masaya, hindi rin naman malungkot. so sana, ang

it's been four years and four months since two of our dear friends got together. yesterday, rish and vin, finally tied the knot. we've been looking forward to this wedding since i-don't-know-when. ever since we knew of their engagement, we were all waiting for this day to happen.we were avid spectators from the very beginning. some of us had more time watching it unfold before them while some

when we were going out during friday nights in cincinnati, it's usually me, audrey, carmel and jay together. beyond our core group of four, we usually hang out with guys, much to jay's dismay. we would go out with carmel's friends, andrew, justin, kyle, louis and sarah or hang out with sheryl's group (which is also mostly guys) or maybe have some teammates with us. we usually go clubbing on

after our first saturday night gimmick, we went to audrey's house to hang out. this was at around 1:30 am already. i guess the group wasn't used to going home at that hour because we usually stay out until around 3 am when we're out on friday nights. we got to do our bonding thing and let's just say they were all shocked at how boring my love life was. they said they'll have to do something

i haven't even bought his second album and he's now out with his third. closer to the sun is the newest album release of guy sebastian, one of my favorite singers. christmas is coming soon... this is definitely part of my wish list!
