Dahil sa yo, Joshua...

Joshua, Nahihirapan na akong mag-English. Tatagalugin ko na lang.

Mahal kita Joshua. Mahal na mahal. Ikamamatay ko pag hindi kita nakasama sa buhay ko. Ngayon lang ako nagkaganito. Ngayon lang ako umiyak sa dahil masaya ako. Ngayon lang nagkaroon ng purpose and buhay ko. Akala ko mamamatay na akong mag-isa, pero dahil andiyan ka para sa akin, hindi na ako natatakot.

Nang sinabi mo sa akin, nalulungkot ka at gusto mong may makasama, hindi ako nagalit, pinilit kong intindihin ka. Mas gusto ko pang maligaya ka kahit sa piling ng iba, kaysa naman sa nalulungkot ka dahil malayo ako. Naniwala akong mahal mo ako at marerealize mo din na mahal mo ako - at hindi ako nagkamali.

Araw-araw akong madarasal at maghihintay sa yo. Pangako ko yan.

My first published photograph?!?!?!?!!

Geez! I don't know if this is a hoax or not but it sure is exciting!!! I just got a letter for an editor of a Japanese travel magazine asking my permission to include this picture I took of the Santa Fe Beach club in their December issue! Here's what they wrote me:

Please Don't Fall In Love

By Cliff Richards

A classic song, I like the lyrics :)

***

I know that you're with him just now as I write
I know you need someone to hold you at night
But I'm begging you, baby
Please don't fall in love
I knew it might happen when I was away
And now that it's happened, I just want to say
That I'm begging you, baby
Please don't fall in love

I'm usually strong but I'm feeling so weak
It wells up inside me, I cry when I speak
But the more I call you on the phone
The more I feel alone
And the less we have to say

I know that you're with him just now as I write
I know you need someone to hold you at night
But I'm begging you, baby
Please don't fall in love
I knew it might happen when I was away
And now that it's happened, I just want to say
That I'm begging you, baby
Please don't fall in love

We kissed at the airport, we said we could wait
I believe it is we who determine our fate
And I love you more than I can say
Don't throw it all away
Don't let it go by
I know that you're with him just now as I write
I know you need someone to hold you at night
But I'm begging you, baby
Please don't fall in love
I know you don't tell me, to spare me the pain
Don't want you to tell me, I don't need his name
That I'm begging you, baby
Please don't fall in love

My Sassy Girl

A. Ang JOKE ay biro, ang MAGTANIM ay di biro!!!

Yan RHoda sepcial mention ka na sa blog ko ha, wag ka nang mag-inarte!!!

I am yours, Mr. Jordan!!!

It's funny how we set qualitifcations in choosing the ones we love when we always end up loving someone who is an exception to the rule. - Ally McBeal

Joshua, all these years, Ally was right. You are the exception. I have vowed never to involve myself with long distance relationships, but here I am, loving you. We have been friends for such a long time now, and I kept on denying that you are that man who would trully make me happy.

You give me a sense of purpose. I never had any. You make me want to be a better person. You are my Helen Hunt. I am your Jack Nicholson. You have seen me at my worst, my best - I have thrown the worst of the worst tantrums - all emotions I could ever show. You never gave up on me. You loved me despite myself.

You have showed me and made me feel that indeed, love transcends physical boundaries.

I am yours, Mr. Mraz.

What ever happened to my Slimmer's World program?

I was browsing through my old pictures when I chanced upon this gimmick pic from last year...


Napa- WTF ako! Man, I was thin!!! I was on the height of my Slimmer's stint last year when we had to move to Eastwood. After that, I became too busy, err, too lazy to workout. Little by little, I've gained back those pounds, and now I am at my biggest again!



See what I am talking about!?!?! Man, mukha pa lang ibang iba na!!! Waaah!

No, I'm not into yo-yo dieting. Diets really never worked for me, for I am a lover of food! I tired blaming it on my emotions, but really, that's just one of our excuses why we eat too much, right? I remember when I used to work out - I was still able to enjoy the Saisaki buffet and not worry about a thing because I know I'll work out to lose those pounds. And it did work for me. Now, I eat, I sleep, I take the elevator, I am back to my good old sedentary life!

Dapat nga tlaga akong sumama sa mga badminton fanatics sa office!!!

Goodbye sunshine!!!

I am sad because I'm going back to the night shift next week. Goodbye to afternoon Razon sessions with Team Alexcapigs, I mean Alexcapades. Goodbye to early morning traffic. Goodbye to Oi! Sisig sessions at St. Francis. Hello to night differential and Something Fishy breafkast buffet (duh as if I don't live in Eastwood haha).


Waaah, ibalik nyo ako sa morning shifttt!!!

I'm a C traveller!~

Flu + TimeZone = Carebears

I shouldn't be online since I am still recovering from a 3-day flu but I feel that I'd feel more sick if I dont go online. For the past few days my taste buds have been numb and my head hurts like hell when I cough. I have been chewing my vitamin C and drinking tons of fruit jucies like crazy just to get better (I can't take medicines yet). I have abused my body yet again - I need to slow down and relax.

One person that made me feel a lot better though during these times of physical and emotional stress was Frances, my niece. I am crazy over her!!! I took her to the Eastwood Central Plaza while my sisters are preparing to leave for Gateway (for Time Zone!) and she kept on running around the area, she got me so exhausted! She rode the carousel, played in the Il Pirata ship, even listened to the band playiing that night and tried to order an 89 peso-ice cream at Dairy Queen (I didn't buy her coz I know I'll end up eating it anyways).

We went to Time Zone Gateway since she's crazy over Air Hockey and the Bowling Game. She played that Bang the Alligator game and a few more kiddie games. However, it was me who enjoyed the most that night. I have discovered that I am good with that Stack to the Top game!!! You ahve to stack all the blocks to the top (duh!) to get your prize - and it was my first time to win something from Time Zone. I got two medium-size Carebears stuffed toys (the green and pink one). I think they're about 200 pesos each if bought in the mall. Not bad for somebody who's sick! There's also a mini Stack to the Top game where you can win a Nokia Cellphone, a 4.0 MPX Vivitar Camera VCD Player or 2500 Timezone Tickets but I felt that it was rigged - it wasn't really hard once you get the hang of it. I think I'll have more chances of winning those items when I go back feeling a lot better. :)

Emotions: Halo-Halo Flavor

The last time I've had this emotional state of mind was when I ran away from home back in 2003. It's all coming back to me now.

Angst. For people who don't care.

Happiness. I realized don't need to deal with people who don't care for me and who'd desert me and leave me to the vultures once the Regina Quibral Drama Special starts playing. And that thought makes me happier.

Relief. I'd rather keep to myself why.

Depression. For not being able to go back to school this semester.

Bitterness. V. Damn, get out of my head, man!

Frustration. For the business that is not going on too well.

Shame. For hiding my feelings and pretending that everything is alright.

Guilt. For skipping work time and again.

Love and yearning. For my mother and father.

Lost. I feel lost.

New Number

I was a victim of a pickpocket so please update your contacts list. My new number is 09053255091. THanks!

Moving on...

I have finally decided to let go of baggages, frustrations, loveless intimate encounters and mediocre work attitude.

Great changes are bound to happen!!!
