Happy 26th Birthday Buko!

Modern-day Hermit
I never thought that it could be this relaxing and awe-inspiring to write in the middle of a cemetery surrounded with all the twigs, bats, spooky creatures, tombstone and floating spirits that look like casper the friendly ghost (oh they're the cutest!).--What can be more horrifying than this place? but no, I don't find them scary at all, not even a single goose-bumpy feeling. In fact I love everything that I see, it's like a voodoo scenery that can pull out my sanity. It's an escape to a place where my imagination can run wild and free.--Away from reality and all of the fuss and feathers in me. It's just me and my inner goddess in here, sitting all alone with my earphones on--looking out over the ghoulish wilderness, enjoying the swing and swirl of the words and how they tangle with my emotions. I feel at peace--calm and yes happy.
Once in a while I need this, I need some time on my own. Cause sometimes, being alone is what I need to survive.

Pre halloween hijinkery
Spooky stuff every where only means that halloween is just around the corner and yes it is, in every corner in the office. For a couple of days or so all the accounts were really in the mood to come up with something creepy yet new than the usual halloween themes we've been seeing for years now. I felt kinda excited cause as far as I remember this is the very first time I'm taking halloween seriously--Not that I'm no for halloween parties, trick or treat and all but I just never had any special memories of halloween aside from the haunted house we got into when I was around 9 I guess, which I can barely remember what really happened. So you can't blame me if I'm this ecstatic.
Anyways, having this kind of atmosphere in the office reminds me of what I missed more--doing art works--hahaha! As I told you we'd been very busy preparing for this halloween decorating thingy. We were like so high school preparing for a play--with all the props and all (looking back for nostalgia's sake). Each account should make their stations extra eerie as they could ( papatalo ba nmn kami? lol). Ok, so the creative team of our account came up with this 'doomed cemetery' concept. No picture for now--it's going to be a surprise and I'm gonna post all the photos I took on Halloween. So watch out for that. For now here's a teaser --'the making photos'--and just so you guys have an idea --hehe.
We wanted it to look ghastly without shelling out money so we decided to use recycle materials. Oh yes, we made the decors out of trash and surprisingly it turned out good--ok better that I ever expected. It looks real-- that sometimes it can make me feel buried six feet under, wooh it's just me and my wild imagination. Oh no, I've said too much--I'm trying to keep this low-key for now and I've been restraining myself to give much more info just to keep you guys curious. I must end this now before I spill the beans!

Goodbye Yesterday: Hello Tomorrow
Saying goodbye is never an easy thing but sometimes it isn’t the hardest part, it’s what we left behind. It's what we had, what we used to do and what we worked hard. All the memories that we made and the people we spent the most time with.
Though things didn't end up the way I wanted when I left, I can't still hide the fact that it pains me to see the company that we once called home is gone. And what breaks my heart the most is that this caused major hiatus for some of my friends. We've seen it coming but it seems so sudden. I'm really sad, I feel for them--in fact I could have been one of them so I must know how it feels to be in their shoes. This is something we tried to keep for a long time. We're all in this together from the very beginning, we've done enough, we all had our fair share of sacrifices and yet we failed. It will be hard--a lot harder for some who don't have certain place to go. Difficult emotions may come up and yes you can not blame them for that. It's human nature to get caught up in the moment for quite a while and I think that's pretty normal. It's really no joke to start all over again but there's no way back--we gotta keep going. This is the time--to finally say goodbye. They're leaving for greener pasture for sure. They can get through it. Things will get better- a lot better soon.
I don't know what else I can do but I do hope that my prayers are enough to help them to tide things over.
Remember that as soon as you say goodbye you will be saying hello tomorrow--and if you're lucky enough you'll have them at the same time. God has next plan so just hang on.

Why there's bad in doing good?
This is a re post from my tumblr, no this is not an excuse for being too lazy but seriously I feel like re posting this cause this is exactly what I am feeling again right now. Yep, I have this norm that to have a positive week ahead I must start my Monday happy and positively. First things first-- I have to wake up with a smile which I can fairly manage. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try to keep the optimism in me, there still sometimes that I feel like giving up. I feel like I can no longer take all the responsibilities I have here. And honestly, just to escape -- there are times that I'd think and act like a kid --just by that I can somehow be free, free from everything. So please allow me to do so and bear with me in times like these.
Super Mai: The SuperWoman wanna be
I am this 'who thinks I have to do it all' trying to be Superwoman as what they call it, yeah exactly. I feel pressured to be able to do everything and to fill multiple roles. Trying to juggle, family, work and relationship~that's really no joke, swear!
This whole new world included more demands than I knew what to do with, I knew, but I'd never imagine it could be this hard~maybe a lot harder for a 24 year old who used to be a princess/brat/easy go lucky me. I mean this big sudden changes and the responsibilities, the pressure to do it all and the belief that I could~ HELLO MYRTLE JOY MACASINAG REQUIRON!?, you are not a superhero~not even a superwoman. You are a woman who has needs of your own. Do you ever give yourself a break? Do you allow yourself to relax? Do you constantly give, give, give while receiving nothing in return? Do you ever stop attending to the needs of others so you can take time out for you? (so that was me talking to myself not to give a damn but still having second thoughts~if my so cheese cake heart would ever allowed mai~so~called~vents to over power mai~oh~so~good~will). I thought I'm so over with my 'i want to be the good little girl' days, just I thought but I guess I'm not yet. I just can't really understand why there's bad in doing good. I feel like, I'm overly committed and more often than not, I'm exhausted, anxious and stressed to the max. DARN!
------------
Parenting is no joke I must say~no, no, I'm not complaining and I love what I'm doing. But you know, I'm only human, I'm no super human so I guess I'm allowed to throw tantrums once in a while. (Kung ang computer nga nag sha-shutdown-ang battery nalolowbat ako pa kaya?) Wot? (parang movie line yan ah~i forgot if san lang-lol).

Random Saturdate: 34th UbeKeso Day
It's another fun filled Saturdate as we celebrate our 34th UbeKeso day, so like the usual the boyfriend didn't go to work just to spend the day with his so brat girlfriend~lol! We went to Ubelt again for my undying fried noodles craving. Didn't I ever mention that CHING'S FRIED NOODLES is the best fried noodles in town?! Yeah, baby they have the best barbecue sauce that can make you forget your name~ok, exaggeration as if they're paying me to endorse them~hehehe! But no, I'm not and how I wish I'm that popular to get paid just for blogging~*keeping my fingers crossed*. Ok then back to reality, after we had snack we then went to bench and saw the breaking news that I'd been waiting for ages, ~I know I'm a lil outdated and it's such a shame to claim myself Lee Min Ho's greatest fan---blame my busy sched, haha. I already knew that he's coming for BENCH but where have I been all this time?! I didn't even know he's coming soon enough~I wasn't informed~hahaha! anyways, better late than never. I saw this poster about the event this coming November 16 at the big dome..
I just hope you guys saw my reaction when I saw this~well infact until now I can still feel that *kilig* just by writing this post and while staring at his poster--ohmygosh~as in ohmygosh! hahaha.Ok enough, I'm too happy that I almost forgot that the tickets are selling like rice cakes and that I have to hurry to get one before they ran out of invites. Sadly though, we didn't have spare money left na because of all the bills and expenses for this month and the boyfriend's pay day is this coming Friday pa~I just hope tickets are available pa by that time--sigh! Actually, you really didn't have to buy the tickets talaga and there's no reservation~what you have to do is to purchase any FIX Styling products to get the single-receipt purchase requirement. That will serve as your free invite and must be exchanged for actual ticket to get inside the big dome. Maximum of 3 invitations per single receipt so you can bring your plus two with you~the more the merrier daba?! What are you waiting for? Go to the nearest Bench store and grab the invites now~just make sure you guys will left one for me ok?! For more info visit Bench's website. Wahhh! that's double plugging, I'm doing this like a pro-lol!
Going back, after that mind breaking news and after I went gaga to Lee Min Ho we headed to Quiapo church to attend the mass. I had to and fortunately I was able to bring back my sanity and attentively listened as the priest preached about Pedro Calungsod . I'm familiar with the name but since I'm no catholic I really didn't know much about him. I learnt that Calungsod was a young Roman Catholic Filipino migrant, sacristan and missionary catechist, who along with Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores, suffered religious persecution and martyrdom in Guam for their missionary work in 1672. While in Guam, Calungsod preached Christianity to the Chamorro people through catechism, while baptizing both infants, children and adults at the risk and expense of being persecuted and eventually murdered. Through Calungsod and San Vitores' missionary efforts, many native Chamorros converted to Roman Catholicism. Calungsod was formally beatified on March 5, 2000 by Blessed Pope John Paul II. On February 18, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI officially announced that Calungsod will be canonised on October 21, 2012. And that's tomorrow~more like today, he'll be then the country's second saint after Lorenzo Ruiz. I may not be a catholic but Philippines is my home so I somehow feel the spiritual joy and national pride that you guys are feeling right now. Proud Pinoy!
After church--we went to UnivMall for the boyfriend's tekken thingy then went back home, played with Maxx and Saav had Andok's for dinner (thanks to Dodie and Gleng) and started blogging and now I'm about to end this post before it gets longer and longer--lol!
Wooah! looks like I got to know a lot of things in a day--information over load here, from Ching's fried noodles to Lee Min Ho to Pedro Calungsod.--Wottah fun filled-productive Saturdate I had! Happy 34th UbeKeso day again to the boyfriend. I see u.
How about you guys~how's your weekend so far? I hope your are all having fun. Opps, it's Sunday na pala~Happy Sunday y'all! ^____^

Don't cut the line--kuha mo?
There was this guy about my age who approached me and asked if I could buy him a ticket cause he's running late--wotduhhh, who do you think you are kuya? (Kahit si PNoy kapa di kita pasisisngitin noh!). I'm sorry to burst your bubbles but you just got the wrong person. so being the snob that I am --I just stared at him and turn around~deadma~kebs ko! I felt a lil bad for how I behaved though but I think I'm just being fair (kamusta naman ang mga nakapila teh? tumatagaktak na ang pawis, basa na ang kilikili naghihintay parin-kahiya nmn sayo!). If you have to fall in line--fall in line-- just wait for your turn.
(Kahit na gaano pa kahaba ang pila makakarating ka rin sa ticket booth, parang love lang~sa hinaba-haba ng paghihintay mo matatapos at matatapos din~ lakas maka connect-lol). Ok, the bottom line is, kahit ano pa yan~ you have to learn how to wait patiently. Lalo na sa love--you have to wait for the right one--cause the more you become aggressive and atat the more you might end up with the wrong person and sob. So just wait, always remember there's always something better to those who wait! Happy waiting!

I wish I were a kid again..
I want to be free again, free from the decisions, the choices, worries, bills and all the responsibilities.
I wish I were a kid again..
Where the only important guy in my life was my dad (at least I'm pretty sure he won't break my heart), Where the only reason why I cry was because of skinned knees (my mom will just clean and kiss and I'm all ok).
Where the only happiness for me were candies and lollipops (even though they can make my tooth hurts) and Where the hardest decision I had to make was to peak a crayon (wonder if I ever had a hard time, I only love purple).
I wish I was that child again, I can be reckless and carefree, no pain or jealousy. The world was fun and small and I was allowed to cry when I would fall. I didn’t care, my life was simple that way.
I wish I didn’t have to worry about the things I worry about. I wish I could just encase myself in my room, put my headset on and read books all day long.
Once in a while, I act like a child to feel like a kid again. It gets like a prison in this body I'm living in because everyone's watching, and quick to start talking, I'm losing my innocence.
Wish I were a little girl, without the weight of the world.
"Tang*na may sapi nanaman to"
More often than not--my boyfriend Mikel has to deal with my 'topak'. oh yes! I have that incridibly annoying habit of not talking whenever I'm not in the mood to talk--I know I'm such a badass girlfriend and I am so thankful that I have a very patient boyfriend that can just let it pass. He've been dealing with that for almost three years now and I can say that he's been doing really really good~hahaha! My boyfriend is the kind of guy who's always ready for a joke and pick-up lines and he uses that to his advantage. Well, I must admit--that tactic never fails him to make me smile no matter how bad my mood is. Check our recent convo below..
Sounds familiar right? that's if you watched the movie and read the book of Eros S. Atalia's "Ligo na u, Lapit na me"--that's where he got that line and been using to bring back my sanity everytime bilog ang buwan~lol.

Lazy days and red days
Going back with my not so good mood--today, unfortunately I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and as usual was too lazy to drag myself out of my comfy crib. It was half past 11 but I'm still lying like I don't have any plan to go to work. I really didn't want to get up but my alarm clock kept ringing and the PAI (Perfect Attendance Incentive)--yes the PAI (pakingteyp na PAI yan di maalis sa isip ko). So I didn't have any choice but to start fixing my self and head to work--syettt!
On my way to work~I just had this thought that--instead of making and passing Cybercrime Prevention Law--why not make a law that says Women are not allowed to go to work if they have their monthly period~(ang hirap kaya neto~try nyo guys). I think this one really make sense~and sure thing all the girls out there will agree with me~lol! And if ever this will ever happen ~ill be the happiest!
Btw, I envy this dog big time~how I wish I can just be like that every day. Oh-lazy days and red days why you so annoying?

Life 101: 10 Timeless Lessons Everyone Learns Eventually
Life is a journey filled with opportunities, hardships, heartaches and yes lessons. So grab every opportunity that will come your way. Develop your strength through hardships. Endure every heartaches and don't be afraid to love again. And most of all, learn from your mistakes and embrace every lesson life has to offer. As the saying goes 'Simple lang naman talaga ang buhay, ginagawa lang nating kumplikado'. Yeah, we have to admit--we do make life complicated so I guess reading some inspiring and useful tips like this one can help us have a productive life.
*Beauty comes from within. – You will never be beautiful like me. You can only be beautiful like you. One does not become beautiful by trying to be beautiful. One becomes beautiful by finding beauty in what’s already within.
* Pain has a purpose. – Pain doesn’t just show up in your life for no reason. It’s a sign that something in your life needs to change. This change takes strength. But remember, it’s not that those who are strong never get weak in the knees, or that they never gasp for a breath. It’s that while their knees are shaking, they force themselves to breathe and to take another step. Read The Road Less Traveled.
* There are right people, and wrong people, for you. – There are fake people, and those who are true friends. There are people who take the heart out of you, and those who put it back. You have a choice of who to spend time with. True friends have an honest heart, and will go out of their way to help you when you need it most. Stick with the people who never let you down and keep their promises. You can’t fake that.
* What you focus on grows. – Do not let the negativity wear off on you. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Promote what you love instead of discrediting what you dislike. When you choose to focus on the things you love, you end up finding more joy and more love in life.
* What you don’t start today, won’t be finished by tomorrow. – There are seven days in the week and someday isn’t one of them. Ask yourself if what you’re doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow. Read Getting Things Done.
* Sometimes taking your own advice is hard. – You know what to do, but you can’t seem to accept your own good judgment. You’ve said the same exact words to others, but listening to your own words is a struggle. That’s why friends are priceless. Because sometimes you just need to hear it from someone other than yourself.
*You can’t live your life solely for other people. – When writing the story of your life, don’t let someone else hold the pen. You’ve got to do what’s right for you, even if the people you love disagree with your dreams. Live your life so that when it’s time to ask where the time went, you can answer: “It went to joyful moments of self-discovery, to my search for passion, to doing work that felt like play, to standing up for what I believe in, and to exploring this beautiful world with an open heart. My time went to living MY life!”
*Forgiveness is the first step to recovery. – Sometimes we don’t forgive people because they deserve it; we forgive them because they need it, because we need it, and because we cannot move forward without it. So cry, forgive, learn, and move on. Let your tears water the seeds of your future growth and happiness.
* Your beliefs become your reality. – What you believe has more power than what you dream or wish or hope for. You become what you believe. Even though you cannot control everything that happens, you can control your attitude toward what happens. And in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you. Read Awaken the Giant Within.
*Success is rarely easy, but always worth it. – Those who have achieved their dreams know that life is about willpower and persistence. It’s about hanging on to hope when your heart has had enough, and giving even more when your mind and body want to give up. Yes, each step may get harder, but the view from the top is priceless, and well worth enduring the journey to get there.
Hope this one helps--let's make life worth living--YOLO! For more tips for practical living visit Marc and Angel Hack Life.

To all the guys I loved before: FYI, Ako'y isang Tsinelas
But wait, can I just say that while reading I just had some horrific flashbacks for a moment~lol and how I'd like to sing ♫♫ To all the guys I loved before..♫♫ hahaha. If only all the guys out there will have a golden point of view like the guy who wrote this~then I guess there wouldn't be any one less lonely girl in the world (lakas maka-JB!-hehe). So this one goes for all the girls who haven't found their missing pair yet~girls hooray!, atleast you know there's still hope (may mga lalaki parin matino mag isip noh!). Eheem-eheem, I can attest to that--i just got lucky~teehee!
“Ang mga babae, madaldal/mabunganga.” Oo, wala talagang tigil ang bibig nila sa pag-rachada sa kakasalita. Lalo na sa tuwing pinapaalala nila sayo na oras na para inumin ang iyong gamot, kapag nagtatanung sila kung kumain ka na ba, kapag ginising ka nila sa umaga upang hindi ma-late at sa mga pagkakataon na nag-aalala sila sayo at tinatanong kung nasaan ka na at bakit hindi ka pa umuuwi. Walang duda, madaldal nga. Hayaan mo na, balang araw, siguro magbabago din sila. Tipong maririnig mo lang eh “Oo”, “Hinde” at “Pwede”. Para kayong naglalaro ng Pinoy Henyo. Romantic siguro ng buhay nyo nun.
“Ang mga babae, masyadong sentimental.” Sinabi mo pa. Tandang tanda nga nila ang petsa at lugar kung saan kayo unang nag-date, isinulat niya din sa kanyang diary kung ano ang mga ginawa ninyo, nakatago at ingat na ingat siya sa mga larawan nyong dalawa, daig pa niya ang Smithsonian sa pag-aalaga ng mga iniregalo mo at kahit kailan hindi niya nalilimutan ang mga importanteng okasyon tulad ng anniversary, monthsary, weeksary o birthday mo. Nakaka-inis ba? Ok lang yan, malay mo next time, hindi na siya ganun. Tipong i-aasa na lang niya sa Facebook ang iyong kaarawan. Tapos tamang post na lang sa wall mo ng “hapi bday”.
“Ang mga babae, emosyonal.” They cry about movies. They get teary with a romantic novel. They blush and gasp upon seeing a picture of a cute dog or a cuddly baby. Bakit ba ganun sila? Buti na lang tayo hindi. Kinikimkim lang naten lahat ng emosyon sa loob hanggang sa sumabog at atakihin sa puso o di naman kaya eh magpapakalasing tapos magwawala at maghahamon ng wrestling. Di ba mas logical un? Madalas pa mag-imagine na ikakasal kayo sa simbahan. Lagi nag a-iloveyou, imissyou, take care at mwah mwah sa text. Asar ka na ba at nacocornyhan? Ayos lang yan. Darating din siguro ang time na titigil siya at isesend ang mga yun sa iba.
Women are probably the greatest gift to men, from God, beside beer and sizzling sisig. At para sken, women deserve all advantages, lalo na sa pag-ibig. Sana lahat ng babae ay maging masaya ang lovelife. Sana, walang babaeng heart-broken, kasi, tayong mga lalake, we’re meant to pursue them and it’s okay if we fail from time to time. It’s the way nature intended it. Gaya ng isang leon sa usa o pag-ikot ng earth sa paligid ng araw. Mas okay kung tayo na lang ung masasaktan. Eh, sila? Isipin mo, nagkakaroon sila ng “dalaw” at nababaliw kada buwan, nabubuntis at nahihirapan ng 9 months, at pinaka matindi sa lahat, kailangan pa nilang panatilihing makinis at walang buhok ang kanilang mga kili-kili. Ano ba namang pasayahin sila at gawing “scar-free” ang kanilang buhay pag-ibig.
And if you are with a great girl, do everything to make her happy. Don’t ever break her heart. Wag kang magpa-uto sa mga statistics, na nagsasabing, mas marami ang babae sa lalake, kaya okay lang mang-chiks. Ano pa bang gusto mo? Hindi pa ba sapat na minahal ka niya sa kabila ng iyong pagiging engot at kawalan ng Romantic DNA sa katawan? Malaki man ang papolasyon nila sa mundo, napaka-liit ng tsansang makakilala ka ulet ng katulad niya na magtya-tyaga sayo.
Tandaan, pansamantala ka mang maakit ng naglalakihang pulang high-heels o maaarteng makintab na sandals, mas masarap pa ring umuwe sa nag-iisang tsinelas ng buhay mo?
ps.
And for all the guys who don't know how to value and respect womanhood~ one day you will all seek love and realized how fool you were to let someone like 'her' slipped from your grip. IKR! (may pinag huhugutan?-char!)

Dive into: The Secret Life of Prince Charming
by: Deb Caletti
I used to think that finding the right one was about the man having a list of certain qualities. If he has them, we’d be compatible and happy. Sort of a checkmark system that was a complete failure. But I found out that a healthy relationship isn’t so much about sense of humor or intelligence or attractive. It’s about avoiding partners with harmful traits and personality types. And then it’s about being with a good person. A good person on his own, and a good person with you. Where the space between you feels uncomplicated and happy. A good relationship is where things just work. They work because, whatever the list of qualities, whatever the reason, you happen to be really, really good together.
After 50 Shades of Grey and while waiting for the movie I guess this one is worth reading. Will sure make a book review soon (sana wag tamarain~lol).

Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012: The aftermath
It's Friday--and as usual my sched isn't that packed so I have all the time in the world yey!--Boredom kills though, been browsing most of the blogs that I follow for a couple of hours now but still have tons of time left. So then, I went to PEP's site for some juicy and latest chika (bilang self proclaimed tsismosa ako) and I came across with this one-- this part caught my attention (helloo talk of the hour why not?) -they wrote an article bout the PROS and CONS of the CYBERCRIME PREVENTION ACT of 2012.
“(4) Libel. ─ The unlawful or prohibited acts of libel as defined in Article 355 of the Revised Penal Code, as amended, committed through a computer system or any other similar means which may be devised in the future.”
Ayon nga sa Article 355 ng Revise Penal Code, “A libel is public and malicious imputation of a crime, or of a vice or defect, real or imaginary, or any act, omission, condition, status, or circumstance tending to cause dishonor, discredit, or contempt of a natural or juridical person, or to blacken the memory of one who is dead."
Ibig sabihin, ang pagpintas, halimbawa, sa isang pulitiko sa personal blog ay maaaring mauwi sa pagkakakulong.
Ang pagpapahayag din ng galit sa isang yumaong presidente dahil sa pagsikil nito noon ng demokrasya ay maaari ding paglabag sa Cybercrime law dahil sa pariralang “to blacken the memory of one who is dead.”
Ito ay may parusa ring mula anim hanggang labindalawang taong pagkakakulong.
At dahil sa (a) Section 5 o “Aiding or abetting in the Commission of Cybercrime,” ang simpleng “like” o “retweet” ng isang itinuturing na libelous post ay maaaring sabihin na isang paglabag.
Gayundin ang pag-share ng isang artikulo dito sa PEP.ph na maaaring maka-offend sa isang personalidad...
Gayundin ang pagpapahiram ng charger sa isang tao na gagamit ng cell phone para magtuligsa ang isang pulitiko...
Wottduh**** this is exactly without a doubt the main reason why most of us aren't in favor of that controversial law. I already had my say posted on my tumblr account and binggo! I'm so-so right~ they said that this law is made for the benefits of the common good--for the people but for me it doesn't look like this way. This is nothing but an arbitrary decision-- personal will of those highbound-self centered--cocky--powerful individuals who will always find ways around the laws just to protect themselves!
This law aims not to protect ordinary people~this is more like depriving our every right to express ourselves--speak our mind-- burst our rants against their bad doings --which is contrary to the Philippine Constitution Article 3-Section 4 that says-
“No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or of the right of the people peacably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances.”
People from the past sacrificed their very life for our freedom--and this CYBERCRIME PREVENTION LAW was just made to crop that (make face).
To repeal or to amend? (wotever Justin Bieber!)
can I just say that executing this law and any other laws-- won't make any difference nor won't make any better anyway. What they have to do? --improve Justice system and provide Filipinos with equal justice under law. Another thing, there are more serious problems our country's facing now a days so why not try to focus and prioritize them instead? Stop wasting time arguing and debating--cause that's gonna be another never ending roller coaster discussion and drama of the cocky ones once again--so silly!
Election is just 8 blocks away from now--and as expected there will be lots of undying pledges and promises such as (Kayo ang bida!, Kayo ang boss!, Pilipino muna! Para sa Pilipino! blah-blah-blah). Surely they'll pay court to win our hearts once again and then? WALEY (Nauto nanaman si JUAN). I remember someone told me 'Wala kang kwentang mamamayan kasi di ka bumoboto', yes you got it right, I don't really vote and that's my personal choice. That's seems not right for some but for me, I don't really think anybody out there deserves my vote (mahal ang boto ko noh~char!).
What do you think guys?!

What do I want in life?
Why do I always find it really hard to drag my lazy ass out of my bed, fix myself and go to work? I don't know but the lazy song's been stuck in my head for too long. Yes, I was able to get back my blogging groove but my "I don't want to go to work today" kicks over and over again. I know-I know I'm such a big lazy ass (and how I wish I could just hit the escape button so I could just stay at home-sleep-watch movies-surf the net-eat-play with Maxx and Saav and blog all day) but on the top of that I'm just bored~I feel so stuck~so stressed~so sick and tired of what I'd been doing all this time.
Lately, I'd been asking myself if what really motivates me to work~ do I love what I'm doing? am I happy? Is this what I really want? I'd like to think yes, I love my job, I'm happy and this is what I really want--but whenever I think about it my inner goddess will pop up and says--NO! you're not~ it's all about the MONEY-MONEY-MONEY! Ok fine, let's accept the fact that for whatever reasons we may have the bottom line, however, is that almost everyone works for MONEY. Sadly but true, I work to make a living.
But isn't it way better if we also love and enjoy what we do?, catching two birds with one stone right? How I wish I could, ironically though, I really don't know what I want~should I say I haven't heard the call from beyond~ the one that they call "the calling" (naks~ano ba teh? andami mong alam).Or maybe I do know but it's just taken backseat cause I have this big-big responsibility that I have to deal with first? Since I'm the bread winner all that I could think is just to earn money in any way that possible even if it's not what I'm craving for-- Booom~ this one does make sense!
If that so--then-what is it that I really want? do I really know what I want? Do I have any visions? goals? That seems not clear to me though, Wottduh--my life seems no where to go~I suddenly realized that I only live day by day without even noticing that I no longer care if what will I become in my future. My gosh-- I'm not getting any younger for age sake! I'm already 25 and it bothers me so much. Given that I'm being too pre-occupied with the thought of "I just need to work to earn money so my family and I could survive each day" hinders me to figure out what's my inner goddess wants me to unleash I guess is not an excuse. Definitely not to blame! We created our present situation by the choices we made in the past and we live in a world of our own creation so it means that we are responsible for it. If we don’t like our life the way it is, then we are the ones responsible for making changes. Remember that everything we do in life is a choice-- and everything that we don't do is also a choice~our own choice. And I guess that's my choice but then again we always have a choice (so many choices-lol!).
My thougths are so random that I can no longer pin point what's really going on with my post--crazy! hahaha. Alright, what I am saying here is that I'm no longer happy with my job so I want to do something new~something that I love doing~something that I enjoy. My passion (andame ko pang sinabe-lol)-- if what's that--that's for me to find out. Should really have a clear sense of purpose--the sooner-the better--time is running~I gotta keep going!
How about you? What do you want in life?

Da return of da comeback: The New beginning
As far as my inner goddess knows, writing is something I’d love doing
aside from eating, sleeping and cuddling~char! That’s why I so~so hate
my lazy self for neglecting my~so~called~blog for months now. I’d been
very very— ok cut it off, no more excuses~ I’ll just try to (must do)
kick my lazy ass off as much as possible from this day forward. And as
promised I’ll back my blogging groove to make up for being MIA for a
while.
So let me share you guys what I’d been up to for the past couple of months. As of what my archive (on tumblr) is showing me, I only had a few posts~ok let me say four since August—huwaatttduh? ok that’s how lazy I’d been~my bad!. Well, if you’re following my blog religiously (as if I have that much of followers~feelingerang frog! haha) you know that I often update my blog and share my daily dose of life but for some odd reason I lost my drive~and the lazy song just got away the creative inner goddess in me~maybe just because a lot of things were going on that time~i guess.
Ok~so here, join me in my trip down memory lane for the past two months (maka memory lane naman wagas kala mo 48 years na ang nakalipas! lol)
Last August I took the liberty of resigning from my post after I had a lil argument with my not so ‘informed manager’ (because every time we’ll ask him bout something~he’s fave line is ‘I don’t know’~wot a manager~very reliable~char!~ok cybercrime law remember! haha). Going back, it’s been two years and a half of a roller coaster ride being an ESL teacher/team captain in the company that I once loved (wow, now hate~so bitter hahaha)~ Ok, I have to remind myself bout the cyber crime prevention law from time to time while I’m doing this post cause I might burst all my rants here and they might file a case against me~lol!
Kidding aside, honestly when I first got the job way back March 2010, I already knew that I will stay for good because I simply love the people around me. We started as a small company so there were just a few teachers sharing stations in a tiny room~so we’re like all friends~(ok me style, family style~char!). Maybe if not for my friends I wouldn’t be there for long. The big part of staying definitely because of them (ok aside from the work loads na not so toxic and the time na not so nakaka-stress). But there were really things that I had to give up no matter how much I want to hold onto them (naks~ansavee? pang famas ang peg~lol). I really miss them and our craziness together and how I wish I’d still hang out with them as much as we do before~though Tycoon is just a few steps away from Tektite it’s kinda hard because my sched won’t allow me to do so.
Speaking of Tycoon, yes I already got a new job~had to find a greener pasture for my personal and professional growth. Luckily, the company’s management is way-way better~so organized and all and so far I don’t have any probs aside from using social networking sites is a big NO-NO ( partial reason why I can’t blog that much) and my friends aren’t here and it’s kinda not that easy to make friends with the people since this is some kind of a big company~and most of them already have their own circle of friends. I’d been here for a month now and yet I feel I’m so-so alone, trying to fit in~still adjusting but I’m doing pretty good so far and how I hope for good.
So there~just so you know what I’d been doing while I’m away in the cyber world~and promise i’ll get back on track from now on~*keeping my fingers crossed*. Expect me to flood your dash again~cause hey I’m so so back~and wait there's more I have a whole new little world again~blogspot beybi~yep I decided to create a new one~care to add me?! This is it~da return of the come back~the new beginning :*
note to self:
I should really get a new broadband just for me to stay connected anytime~anywhere.
