I just found this in my notes, wrote this when I watched My Sassy Girl at the office

Destiny is the bridge you build to the one you
love...



True.

IThoughtOfGivingYouABook

I was about to give a gift to someone, she's actually a friend, but hesitated because she might think of it the wrong way. I know we haven't been the best of friends neither you can say that we are close but I don't want her to think that I am giving it to her because I'm still after him. Nah, I just want to make her smile (at least I thought so) nowadays. I know that the book will be of help in her situation. I'm giving myself until tomorrow to think if I'll go give her the book or not. :)

Update:

I've changed my mind. I won't give it so as to give you peace of mind. :)

TeamAFNI'sFirstChristmas

Pics taken from a four-day Christmas celebration, from Dec 23-26. So many things happened such as The Missing Ice Cream, foods falling from the ref (sorry po, Lord!), resurrection of The Missing Ice Cream, trouble finding a KFC resto, food that was almost delivered during our first break instead of lunch break and most of all, having the pantry almost to ourselves. :)

We had the following food from Tuesday to Friday

We had Chef D'Angelo for lunch & Ice Cream for dessert.






The Story Of The Missing Ice Cream

We bought two half gallon of Ice Cream yesterday, Dec 24, Selecta's Rocky Road and Double Dutch. It was a celebration for our team since this is our first Christmas together. We've been having celebrations since Tuesday, Dec 23. We're composed of ten agents and realistically, we can't finish one gallon of Ice Cream in one sitting because we had spaghetti, lumpiang shanghai and leche flan with it. So, as NORMAL people would do, we put The Ice Cream at the freezer, so that we can still have it on our 2nd break. Second break comes and only two of us ate. Then we put it back in the freezer.

We came to work today, Dec 25, excitedly because we'll be having another SUPERB lunch. We were able to eat The (leftover) Ice Cream during the first break. It may not be half-filled, still, it's food and someone paid for it with his/her "hard-earned" money. Lunch break came, we had fun at the pantry. We had macaroni salad, 1 bucket of KFC, leche flan and halayang ube. We were all hoping that The Ice Cream is still at the freezer, so we never bothered to check before having lunch since we'll be having The Ice Cream for dessert. Luckily, when we're about to get it, there was no Ice Cream, no Rocky Road, no Double Dutch in sight!!!

Someone stole The Ice Cream!!!

Someone who is stupid, ignorant and idiotic took our Ice Cream and replaced it with A BAG OF ICE. Maybe that STUPID,IGNORANT & IDIOTIC SOMEONE thought that we won't come back for The Ice Cream.

Dude, whoever you are, KARMA's on your way now. You thought of saving The Ice in favor of The Ice Cream, smart, eh? You should've asked around first. That is what you call MANNERS!!!

Siblings

I am not a big fan of movies that shows rivalry among siblings, neither a fan of those telenovelas that showcases it but I am one of those who experiences A LOT when it comes to this.

A day or two ago, yes, in time for Christmas, I had an argument with my mother, who unconsciously favors my older sister, our eldest. She really denies it that she favors one of her three daughters. It was all because of a rubber shoes that she has been keeping. It was just in the box for almost a year. She never let me and my younger sister use it. She's been telling us that it's hers and she'll use it some time. Earlier that same day she decided to give the shoes to my Ate, who's in the province, who's earning just for herself, who worries nothing but herself. She gave it just like that. In all fairness to Mama, she told me, when I got home from work, that she had the shoes sent to Ate.

It was not just the shoes that pisses me off. It was everything that came to mind, between me and my sister, that really took my patience. Way back when we were young, Ate is two years older than me, all our clothes were alike, it was always a smaller size of what Ate had. Shoes were the same, though different size. Even our school shoes, bags, socks. Everything was the same between me and her. It's as if we're twins. The bad thing is I despise it. All those was given to me not because it looks good seeing sisters wearing the same clothes, it was because it looks good on her and that doesn't make me comfortable. We used to have this particular dress, of course, same style and color, that I hate. Mama would often say that we look like dolls. Not in my case. I look terribly awful. I'll try find a copy of that picture.

It feels bad to have and argument with Mama, it feels bad that I envy Ate up until now, and why she favors Ate that much. I can't find an answer and I can't figure out why. Is it because Ate looks more like Mama and I don't? I know I'm too old to blab about these stuff but I just can't help it. I can't.

Miss Understanding

It's a literal translation of missing someone whom you had a misunderstanding. That's what I'm feeling right now. I badly miss this person, but I want to point out something to her about this very important thing we've discussed, and one of the reasons behind this HUGE misunderstanding. I just want her to be there in her son's growing up years. I don't want her son to feel the same feeling his mother felt when she was young, (the usual drama: mother is not around because she's working, blah, blah, blah...). In all fairness to her (I'm the one who's more stubborn, I don't send her emails, I don't leave messages for her, in other words, I am trying to avoid/ignore her), she's been trying to burn bridges by doing the exact opposite of what I'm doing. I just feel bad for her kid, though I know that the kid's been well taken cared off, but still, her presence is much more important than any other material things that her work can offer.

She may have her own reasons for not being there by her kid, but I'm seeing things out of the box, I know its very hard to raise a family nowadays, but if I were in her shoes, I wouldn't trade my time with my kid working abroad.

(Sighs) I just miss her so much. I hope she knows.

P.S.
(1)This will be her third Christmas & New Year working abroad, and first with her kid, if she only wishes to be with him.
(2) I think I should have my own kid as well, so that I wont be bothered by things like this.
(3) Can anyone give me a cute little baby boy or girl for Christmas?

IJustLoveIt...

My supervisor approached me and showed me her phone, there was a freakin' (good) text message from guess who, KIKO RUSTIA of SURVIVOR Philippines! I just envy her for being that close to that guy who dons a good set of dreads. All I can be is be a FRIENDSTER friend to him. Hay...

10ThingsWhyILoveMyJob

10. I got to have Saturdays & Sundays off.

9. 10 persons in a team, why not?

8. Just one supervisor to report to, who wouldn't like that?

7. Working in a call center, a non-voice account.

6. Works with a headset but not doing calls, how cool is that?

5. A pay that is equivalent to someone who takes calls, why not?

4. Doing something "while doing ALMOST everything" in the Internet.

3. Ours do "A LOT" of research.

2. Been through three supervisors in a span of 1 year. The first two were lucky, they got to travel abroad while with us. Hope this one we got get lucky and find a boyfriend while still with us.

1. Just love our schedule, 12nn-9pm, I got to wake up as late as 10am.

CSIMakesMeCry

I have watched it for a number of times but it doesn't fail to make me cry. I just love Warrick's character, well, I all love them, but Warrick is different. He's somehow secretive & mysterious. Sharing the link for Warrick's last episode. :(

Irregular

Been having irregularities with my (pardon me from talking about this, here) menstruation for sometime now. And when I say sometime, it's been going on irregularly since 2005, and when I say (again) irregular, it's REALLY irregular. Most of the time, I'll have IT (menstruation) monthly, other time it's once every two months, and if I'm lucky, (should I call myself lucky because of this?) I'll have it once every three to four months. And that is why I call it IRREGULAR. I sometimes hate the feeling (and the cramps) whenever I do have IT but I am afraid that there's something wrong inside me when I don't have it in a monthly basis. Not that I am afraid that I am pregnant or something ('cause as far as I know, praying doesn't get anybody pregnant. ;D) because I've been out of the "action" for a VEEERRRYY long time now (now I'm talking... hehehe...).

I have been to an OB-GYN and I'm done with a ten-day medication (yesterday was my 10th day). Supposedly, I should have IT by the 15th, but hey, it's already Day 19 and still I don't have IT. Doc says I have to be back any day this week, and have a TRANSVAGINAL SCAN. Scary, huh? For me, yes. It was my first to meet with an OB-GYN, first to have (if I'll have IT any day this week) a TRANSVAGINAL SCAN, and first to do something with this ongoing problem.

Sadly, this TRANSVAGINAL SCAN scares me so much that I have to do some research on what is this, how it's done, and what do they use to have it done. Thanks for the Internet, I have seen pictures of how its being done and what exactly it does to scan whatever it has to scan, and what is used to do it. :P I should ask my cousin though for more MORAL SUPPORT on this. :P I just hope that IT would come today or tomorrow so I could go and see the OB-GYN by the end of this week.... before i go to ANAWANGIN COVE. :D

ITried...Again...

the quicker you let go of old cheese, the
sooner you find new cheese…

for the nth time, i tried letting you go, (ulet) but it seems harder every time. its been years, 11 years, that i’ve been holding you back, finding it hard to let you, your memories, go. finding it hard to forget all about you…

i did find a few “someones” to love back then, after you, pero iba ka pa din. though everything started young, started way back when we were still young, i cant consider it na puppy love lang. kasi it was then that i started PLANNING my supposed to be future, with you, SANA… it was then that i felt how to be loved by a firend, a best friend and by someone who really believed in love.
naaalala ko pa, i was 10, you’re 11, pinag-uusapan na natin kung ano ang kukunin nating course pagdating ng college, what school to go to, what to do after college, when to get married, where to live, where to spend our growing-old years.

THEN, everything was ruined. ALL went crashing down just because of one STUPID mistake. but i dont blame you for that, if writing this will make you feel good in the afterlife. whatever it was na hindi natin napag-usapan, dahil ayokong kausapin ka after what happened, lahat ng nangyari after that, wala akong isinisi sa’yo. well, for a time siguro, kasi nga mga bata pa tayo nun. for a time i blamed you for being the weak person that you are. but thinking back, siguro it all happened for a reason. for a good reason. im just sorry that i didnt give you the chance to clear things back then. that i was too arrogant to accept your apologies. that i was too blinded by hatred.

but then again, it’s all behind me, us, now. it’s all in the past. there’s no use crying over a spilled milk. it’s no use going back to what might’ve happened.

i just have one wish now, it’s my 11th year mourning over these things, over us, over you… please help me get through this for the LAST time. give me strength and courage to overcome all of THESE for the LAST time. please. i really can’t do this alone. i know that wherever you are, you’re hearing my heart’s cry, you know what i really wanted for so long. i want to get THROUGH you, get over and done with everything that has got to do with you, but im not saying that i will forget you, that i will forget us, i just want to be free from you and your memories.

just help me with this one, please…

StillIt'sYou

it’s been years, 19 years since i first met you. and sana, since then, di ka na lang nawala. cliche man, siguro nga you served your purpose here on earth. ilang years na nga ba since nawala ka? 11? all those 11 years i tried na kalimutan na lang lahat. pero mahirap. sobrang mahirap. dahil hanggang ngayon, naaalala pa din kita. naiisip pa din kita. alam ko pa din how you look like nung huli tayong nagkita, nung huli kitang nakita. madami ng nangyari sa akin, marami na akong pinagdaanan na gulo at kung anupaman sa buhay, still, after all those years, NAIISIP PA DIN KITA. to the point na pangalan mo ang nasa cell phone ko ngayon. sana nga di ka na lang nawala… sana ikaw na lang… naaalala lang kita ulet kaya ko ginawa ito…

Complicated

Q. What’s complicated and why does it hurt?

A. It’s when you don't know where you stand in someone’s life; it’s when you’re hanging in dead air & knowing you can be thrown off anytime. It’s when you’re like more than friends but not really and it’s like you’re lovers when it’s really otherwise. Sometimes you would want to wish to have never met that person at all but at the back of your mind you’re thankful that that you had…

ConstantChange

We’re on the road
We move from place to place
And oftentimes when I’m about to call it home
We’d have to move along
Life is a constant change…

The friends we know we meet along the way
Too soon the times we share form part of yesterday
‘Cause life’s a constant change
And nothing stays the same, oh no...

Clouds that move across the skies
Are changing form before our very eyes
Why couldn’t we keep time from movin’ on?
Hold on to all the years before this moment’s gone?
Why must we live the days at such a frightening pace?
We’re all like clouds that move across the skies
And changing form before our very eyes
Have we outgrown our Peter Pans and wings?
We’ve simply grown too old for tales of knights and kings
‘Cause life’s a constant change
And nothing stays the same, oh no...

Ugly

When I was 7
They said I was strange
I noticed that my eyes and hair weren’t the same
I asked my parents if I was OK
They said you’re more beautiful
And that’s the way they show that they wish
That they had your smile
So my confidence was up for a while
I got real comfortable with my own style
I knew that they were only jealous 'cos

People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
Personality reflects name
And if I’m ugly then
So are you
So are you

There was a time when I felt like I cared
That I was shorter than everyone there
People made me feel like life was unfair
And I did things that made me ashamed
'Cos I didn’t know my body would change
I grew taller than them in more ways
But there will always be the one who will say
Something bad to make them feel great

People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
Personality reflects name
And if I’m ugly then
So are you
So are you

Everybody talks bad about somebody
And never realises how it affects somebody
And you bet it won’t be forgotten
Envy is the only thing it could be

AnotherWeekendUpdated

i did something nice, i helped do some house chores, went to Bhem's store, and spent some time with my siblings. :) that's quite nice to me.. :)
------------------------
I'm thinking of doing something nice this weekend, not that I dont do any for the past many weekends in my 19 years (19 'coz I believe my weekends were worthwhile until I was 10) of doing so many things. I'll be online (ym) on my ever-trustful Sun Cell fone over the weekend, (will cost me Php 40 though) I will accompany my brother for his 1st Flu vaccine and there, I run out of things to do. Maybe taking him and being with him for his first flu shot is nice but I want to do something nicer than that. I just want to make my weekend more useful that sleeping it off. I might give my cousin, Bhem a hand in her "tiangge" come Saturday. :)

It'sAllInTheSong

Somebody - Depeche Mode

I want somebody who cares for me passionately, with every thought and with every breath. Someone who'll help me see things in a different light. All the things I detest I will almost like. I don't want to be tied to anyone's strings. I'm carefully trying to steer clear of those things. But when I'm asleep, I want somebody who will put their arms around me and kiss me tenderly. Though things like this, make me sick. In a case like this I'll get away with it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anthing For You - Gloria Estefan

Anything for you, though youre not here. Since you said were through, it seems like years. Time keeps draggin on and on, and forevers been and gone, still I cant figure what went wrong. Id still do anything for you. I'll play your game. You hurt me through and through, but you can have your way...

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

Over You - Daughtry

Well, I never saw it coming. I should've started running a long, long time ago. And I never thought I'd doubt you, I'm better off without you, more than you, more than you know. I'm slowly getting closure. I guess it's really over. I'm finally getting better. And now I'm picking up the pieces. I'm spending all of these years putting my heart back together. 'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through, I got over you.

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

Home - Michael Buble

May be surrounded by a million people I still feel all alone. I just wanna go home. Oh, I miss you, you know -- Let me go home, I’m just too far from where you are. I wanna come home

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

Over It - Katharine McPhee

Wanting you,to be wanting me. No that ain't no way to be. How I feel, read my lips,because I'm so over...Moving on, it's my time, you never were a friend of mine. Hurt at first, a little bit, ut now I'm so over. I'm so over it..

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

Bye Bye - Mariah Carey


I never knew I could hurt like thisAnd everyday life goes on like "I wish I could talk to you for awhile" Miss you but I try not to cry, as time goes by And soon as you reach a better place Still I'd give the world to see your face And I'm right here next to you But it's like you're gone too soon Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye...

SOON TO ADD MORE

DesiderataByMaxEhrmann

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.


Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.


Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.


Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
