Concealed Sentiments

Lord, Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. May your will prevail over men. Thanks, Hannah I need a miracle today. I hope God would listen to me.

I am so excited! This October 23, I and my highschool friends are planning to meet in Cebu and enjoy the beauty of Bohol. Despite the short notice and the budget constraint, I decided to have a three-day vacation with them. Why? Because of the following reasons: 1. When I checked the cost of plane tickets bound from Iloilo to Cebu, I found out that Cebu Pacific is offering Php 1,000 off the original fare. 2. I am dead tired. I'm tired with my day job and I know that I need a break. 3. I have never been to Bohol in my whole life. 4. I missed my friends. When I think about my friends, I always remembered our careless moments during our gradeschool and highschool days. We used to sing the following lines back then: Make new friends and keep the old One is silver and the others gold. I really appreciate the meaning of this song. I believe that it's good to have new friends but old friends are the best since we have known them for so long. Stay tuned for my vacation pics!

I am not aware that I have a special interest in fashion until I started my Fashion-O-Lic blog. At first, I am more concerned at getting a bigger website visitors for the blog. As months and years past, I discovered that I am loving fashion. Reading the latest fashion trends and the celebrities quirky fashion styles makes me happy. However, I have a confession. I am not fashionable. My mom would call be names that would pertain to being unfashionable. I love to see other people wearing those fashion trends but I can't imagine myself on those clothes. Maybe because I am not accustomed to them or I know that I can't afford them. If you are interested with the latest fashion trends, you can visit my fashion blog !

Last June 21, Typhoon Frank (international name: Fengshen) hit and battered Iloilo City, heavily affected the province’s 42 towns. Around 80% of the city went underwater affecting 48,836 families and the district of Jaro (where I, my sister, and my cousins live) was submerged because the water level reached a height of 2 meters. Everyone has his or her own version of "Baha" (Flood) story... and here goes mine (I hope the pictures reflect the calamity that we had overcome): We were having a good sleep when somebody knocked on our door. It was one of our boardmates, she said: Ate, may tubig na sa kwarto! (Big Sister, the water has entered our room!) My sister (Aying), my cousin (Rophe) and I immediately jumped out of our beds and grabbed the things that we can save. However, the rain didn't stop and the water reached the second floor of the house. Fortunately, the house had a ceiling. Thank God, it didn't collapse. Imagine...all the things that we were able to save wer...

It's all coming back to me now...I mean my obsession to "The Little Mermaid" Disney character. I had saved a copy of the movie, downloaded a wallpaper and my ym icon showed Ariel. Honestly, I don't know why I'm so hooked with the mermaid characters. All I know is that I really loved Ariel, the way she swim and the way she sing "Part of Your World". In fact, Donna and I keep on singing it again and again as we worked on our respective tasks. It seems that we can relate to the song's lyrics: " Bright young women..sick of swimming..ready to stand..."

Pausing for another break, I took another online quiz. This time it's about "What Age Do You Act?". I know I am childish oftentimes and always not acting my age. My mom would always complain about it . But what can I do? I am young at heart... By the way, here's the result...and it's true.... You Act Like You Are 19 Years Old You are a teenager at heart. You don't quite feel like a grown up yet, but you don't feel like a kid. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. You're quite rebellious, and you don't like being told what to do. You like to do things your way. You have your own unique style, taste in music, and outlook on life. What Age Do You Act?

Out of the blue, I just typed in the following keywords in the Google search tab: "when to quit a job". Looking on the search results, one item woke my curiosity. It's an online quiz that helps you decide if you should quit your job. I took the quiz and I was not that surprised with the results. Honestly, I know this would come along especially with what happened in the past weeks. It really made me laugh...ha!ha!ha! Your Job Dissatisfaction Level is 71% Your job is a total bummer, and probably the worst job you've ever had. Your co-workers stink. Your boss is a jerk. And your company is probably in trouble. Think about finding a new job quickly, even if it's just a not-so-great transition job. You've got to get out of there as quickly as you can! Should You Quit Your Job? I created this post just for fun and I hope people (esp my coworkers) would not misinterpret it. It's a fact that our minds work in different level: below sea level or above sea level......

I turned 24 last November 30. I felt so old and a little bit tired of my self. Indeed, life is full of surprises. I celebrated my birthday at Boracay in lieu with the Promet's Global Event. Checkout these pictures that reflect the great I had on that day! I was offering a peace sign for the world..I had bulging eyebags! I can't accept the fact that I am 24 years old. Radiating a smile with the beautiful sunset and enjoying the Boracay's sandcastles. Bonding with my teammates while filling our stomachs with 'eat all you can' Mongolian food. It's nice to see the faces behind their intriguing IM avatars. Chatting around in a Jamaican ambiance. It's really a beachy setting. Posing with Marie with the fire dancer in the background. Our swimming outfits! I can't stand to were bikinis so I prefer printed red shorts and midnight blue top. Killing the time with island hopping activity. I can't stand the big waves. It's swimming time. I run the race...Bor...

People are unreasonable, illogical, self-centered. Love them ANYWAY. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good ANYWAY If you are successful, youll win false friends and make true enemies. Succeed ANYWAY. Honesty and kindness may make you vulnerable. Be honest and kind ANYWAY. The good you do today may very well be forgotten tomorrow. Do good ANYWAY. The biggest people with the biggest ideas can get shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds. But think big ANYWAY. Give the world the best you got. you may very well get kicked in the teeth for it. But give the world the best you got ANYWAY. ...Kent Keith * A very nice thought posted by a friend in friendster's bulletin. I was enlightened by this post. In everything I do, I always think of what would people say and feel about me. Now, I have second thoughts about that. Who the hell cares? This is my life anyway!

I lost my cellphone just a few hours ago. Of course I felt sad and frustrated. Sad because I already love my cellphone...we were together for almost 7 months (up to this date). Frustrated because it was stolen just under my nose. I was able to buy it with my last year's 13 month pay..huhuhuhuhuhu Let me relay the story: 1. Last night, I wasn't able to sleep because I was thinking that my boyfriend's cellphone was stolen for it's unattended the whole night. Perhaps it's already a premonition. 2. I set the phone's alarm to 6:30 am. 3. The alarm went on.. 4. I put off the alarm..it's already 6:30 am. 5. I returned to my sleep and after a few minutes....viola! the cellphone's gone.. It was stolen while I am sleeping beside it...what a tragic case of theft... All in all, 4 cellphones and a wallet (with 800 pesos) were being stolen in that dark minute. We were able to file the case in a police station but without a suspect. I guess, it will be one of the u...

I love watching the Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal game show every night. It's like a mind-boggling exercise after dinner. In this show, I have seen a number of triumphant winners with high spirits but mostly went home sad and wondering why fate has turned its back on them. Deal or No Deal involves a contestant, a host/presenter, a banker, and a number of briefcases (or boxes), with each having a different (and initially unknown) value. Each game starts with the contestant selecting one of the cases—this first case's value is not known until the game ends. During the rest of the game, the contestant opens the rest of the cases, one at a time, revealing its value. Each time after a specified number of cases are opened, the banker offers the contestant a certain amount of money to end the game. If the contestant takes an offer, the game ends, otherwise the contestant ends up with the money from the first case. Deal or No Deal had almost 50 international versions all over the world. I...

I am feeling better right now. It feels good to be back in my old self after a few days of being insane..hehehe... I remembered the song entitled "Next In Line" with the following lyrics: What has life to offer me When i grow old What's there to look forward to beyond the biting cold 'Coz they say it's difficult Yes, stereotypical You gotta be conventional, You can't be so radical So i sing this song to all of my age For these are the questions We've got to face For in this cycle that we call life We are the ones who are next in line. In the past days, I learned that some people and things just stay the way they are. We can't do anything to change them for it's God's work. We just need to accept that fact even if it hurts. Life is a cycle, a wheel, a roller coaster. Those we hated will be gone after some time and we will fill in their vacant slots. So in the end, we may be hated, too. Is it too obvious how ironic life is? Do I make sense? Watc...

Broken and spilled out....these are the words that would best described my life. I'd reached my saturation/boiling point and I'd burst like a bubble. But who would have noticed? Who would have cared? I guess no one. For in this world, nothing lasts forever. The truth in a saying prevails: "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone." Whether we like it or not, we are alone in this crazy life. These are my reasons: 1. Even if we believe in God and have put our hope on Him, our human nature betrays us. In one way or another, the feeling of depression will try to soar through our inmost being. 2. Faith without work is dead. Even if we pray for ourselves and for others, action must be done. 3. Nobody stays beside you. Yes! We had bunch of friends, ever-supportive family, and a loving boyfriend/girlfriend. But there are times when you can't borrow their shoulders. They have their own lives to wrestle too. 4. We're on our own. Every human being ...

These past few days, I felt that my life was so dull and jaded. I am tired of my work..my family...my life. I want to rest in peace. OOpps...I don't want to die. I just want to rest with a peace of mind. But it's not easy. You can't change life circumstances as if you're changing clothes. So here I am..running back to the arms of my blog...my only friend who never failed to listen. I chose this theme because it reflects what I am feeling right now...BLUE. But, I still believe that the brighter side of life is not that far.....

These past few days, I felt like I am a small frog in a big pond called life. I am helpless, benign, ugly, clumsy and most of all, boring. I felt like I was just sitting on a floating lily pad and patiently waiting for a kiss handsome prince who would never come. Reality bites and I have to admit that my life sucks (perhaps just for this week). According to a metaphor, if you put a frog into a pot of boiling water, it will leap out right away to escape the danger. But, if you put a frog in a kettle that is filled with water that is cool and pleasant, and then you gradually heat the kettle until it starts boiling, the frog will not become aware of the threat until it is too late. A perfect story that illustrates where I am today. I am in a situation where there's nowhere to go but to this pot of boiling water. If only a frog had wings, I wouldn't bump my ass when I'll hop and I would probably fly unto the great big sky singing I Dreamed A Dream, from the musical Les Miserabl...

To those who faithfully visit my blog, today is your lucky day. Why? Because it's the first time I'll post my pictures with the love of my life! Wahahahaha...I know..I know...I sound corny and cheesy..a sentimental fool... I have some reasons why I spared some of my time to organize this memory lane thingy. First, I don't know what to do with my super free time (3 hrs) here at work. Secondly, I miss him (John) and lastly, he will be turning 23 this coming June 15. *P.S. and we 've been together for almost 5 years....to john, see you on your birthday (hugs and kisses)
