day of valour

today is araw ng kagitingan (day of valour) here in the pearl of the orient sea.
but it is a shame that most of us just see it just as a holiday and do not consider what it stands for. *sigh*


here is a link from manila bulletin in case you want to remember:
http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/313379/araw-ng-kagitingan-2011

i admire and respect the brave men --and women --who stood up and loved their mother land.
their courage and bravery is an inspiration.
i love our country. i don't know if i will be given a chance to do what they have done for mama land but i hope i'll have what it takes to do the same if needed to. i can't show it in a grander form but in a lot of small ways, i want to believe that i'm doing my best.


i salute ...the three stars and a sun!♥

testing virtues

just a thought...

"if you focus on what you know, what more can you gain?"


to someone,
i don't know when will be the time for you to realize this. but please, please... do it soon. i don't want to hate. the truth is, i don't hate you nor like you. but it's not good for me if you'll continue to be part of my daily life. what adjustments do i need to make?

i'm eating too much out of the stress i'm feeling. i really really do not like this.

God, let me be more understanding and patient each day. i trust that what i'm feeling is something i need to throw out of my heart. please help me do just that. to forgive and not feel offended. i pray, from the bottom of my heart that this may pass soon. in you i trust..

len got talent

a short post...

i just want to share that i have this wonderful, uninteresting talent. :))


what's this you say? it's the stem of a cherry, the ones usually on top of an ice cream sundae. knotted this using my mouth. :)) i told you it was very uninteresting. X))


stopped by my favorite ice cream store sa boni to eat their black forest chill yesterday after work. i returned a movie cd for my oso and decided to stop by since it was near and the afternoon was extremely sweaty.

i just came to share this as a sign that summer is hear. hooray! :D

weekend well spent

i'll blog about my weekend now. yey! :)

SATURDAY
prologue: my sooper friends and i were long been planning for an out-of-town UBE (ultimate bonding experience). due to factors like time, place and money, the idea is still not pursued. but as Filipinos always say about trips: "buti pa ang biglaan, natutuloy. ang planado, hindi.", that's what exactly happened when a few days noticed UBE was asked by james, aka rockstar.

i guess videoke is really more realistic than the beach --time, place and money wise. XD

we planned the day. but i guess plans are supposed to be set aside when we sooper friends go for UBE. we never ever had one that was thought of days ahead. so planning this one looked silly that's why chances did not let us go as how we wanted it.

how?

time: it was set for 6pm so that jan, aka team, can leave early for his run the next day. but friends were late due to earlier plans and appointments. we were completed at around 7:30pm. we arrived at V8 by 10pm due to traffic at greenhills car parking. :))
place: we planned to do videoke at redbox. so we went to greenhills as team suggested. but apparently, there is no redbox branch there. it's supposed to be greenBELT not greenHILLS. epic fail. X)) we ended up going to V8, our official videoke place since two years ago. so much for change in scenery.
budget: i don't want to talk about it. but V8 is V8. we love the place. :)

somehow, even if a lot of things did not go well and we were already tired before we have started what we came to do, IT WAS MARVELOUS!
hours of talking, laughing, slamman, eating, goofing around, singing and tummy aches due to excessiveness of everything enumerated were made.
i love the people i was with. they are my family. and seeing them and being with them is something i miss. i spent my college with them and those times spent were best times. but come to think of it, they are always on my best times not just on college related events. blessed to have them. :)

added bonus: mae and patchya came with us. the more the many-er. :D

i'll post a picture and introduce my friends as how i call them...

a pause from all the fun for a photo op :)
and btw, team's run record was around 1:06:00. we went home at past 2am, go figure. :))

SUNDAY
my sunday was spent with family. at home in the morning with everyone, at divi and binondo with mom and loisa in the afternoon, mass with my oso in the evening.

a simple day but is very meaningful for me. i missed times like this that it made me cry. no kidding.

my morning was spent eating and goofing around with my lovely nieces. i was able to eat our always yummy sunday lunch and was talking with everyone while eating.

by afternoon, mom, loisa and me went to divisoria to buy dhannia's bday souvenirs. mom and i will be out of town the week before dhannia's first bday so we should finish all the prep beforehand.
and since we were already at divisoria, we went shopping after we bought the souvenirs. i was not able to shop plenty since i was very guilty from buying a lot of clothes lately. i need to control. XD
after divisoria, we stopped by ongpin at binondo to eat dimsum. best place to eat it here in manila! yum yum! was able to buy take home bread from salazar's. i love their hopia'ng monggo. :P~
special thanks to tito rene for coming with us and for driving. he knows the streets of manila well. when he is with us, we can really go to places we want conveniently. :)

in the evening, i was able to see my oso. spent hearing mass with him and ate dinner at their place. best way how to end my sunday!
though LOM meeting is canceled, the evening is still fulfilling since i was able to pray and give thanks to our sooper and undisputed Lord Almighty.


God is always good to me. He never fails. all these things i get to have this weekend was all thanks to Him. letting me appreciate the people close to my heart makes me realize and appreciate His love and kindness more and more. truly, when tough times come, He considers and gives you a break. thank you, Lord! :)

mind over matter

since i was dead tired from my morning shift yesterday i was not able to blog about my weekend.

i love how i spent my weekend day off. maybe i missed how it feels to be in sync with friends' and family's free time.
o well, will blog more about the details later after work. :)

on another topic...

i'm beginning to get used to work again. i hope this continues. i was messed up for a couple of weeks due to "minor" problems that i forgot how i should be handling these kind of things. as the wisdom of the old always say: "mind over matter" ...if you don't mind, it doesn't matter. =))
we cannot dwell on unimportant things all the time and we cannot be affected by people.

the problem i'm facing should be handled with patience and understanding.
wait... i don't want to call it a problem either. can someone help me out? what is a smaller word for problem? :)

i need to pray on this more until i get better. go me! :)

a dose of my own medicine

for the sake of april fool's day, i pranked my oso this morning. i was really thinking that he would get the joke. but as the famous filipino phrase goes: "biruin mo na ang lasing, 'wag lang ang bagong gising".

surely, fooling people is not a good thing to do. after i did it, i felt really bad. though i have no bad intentions, what i did was wrong. especially who the person i did it to. </3

i appreciate how my oso let the incident pass. and surely, i will never ever do such thing again. my heart broke when he was not talking over the phone after what i did.

i want to publicly apologize for my mistake. oso, i'm sorry... :(

i also want to publicly thank you for understanding. though it was ok as you said, what i did still  felt bad and wrong. it will not happen again, i assure you.

and for the record, i will not participate in any april fool's madness anymore. ever ever!

dreaming

before i forget the thought...

i think i know what i want to do when i have time in my hands and lots of money in my bank account.

will post more for details on my day off. :)

backstabber

i was told that it is bad to talk at some one else's back.



forgive me, i'm being bad for the past two weeks. XD

will do my best not to. even if it is tempting.
