From Raech

Its so overwhelming that people would see you differently and make you feel great about yourself. I mean, I dont really see me very special but people around me could attest that there is something in me that is superficial.

I want to share a letter from a very close friend whom I have loved and trusted the most. She may be a bit childish and perky to the highest level but she knows how and when to simmer down on serious matters.

I was moved to tears when I read this letter... Simply because I'm hurting... and having her around just makes it a bit lighter...

Just love it....


Drey,

I know how hard it is to let go of someone especially after all the things that you had to go through for him. I also know that no amount of advice from friends, unsolicited or otherwise can ease the pain and make you feel better. I just know that everything is bound to fall into place. It may sound really cheesy, but how could God neglect to see such a wonderful person like you? I believe the Lord knows how much you yearn to find that person who will treat you like a queen and he too is searching patiently through the depths of the earth to find that man worthy of your love. All he asks is for you to wait a little more. In the meantime, allow yourself to mourn for your loss. Make use of the people around you such as your friends and family because unlike love, we never go away, even if you want us to. =)

I adore and love you to bits, Drey!
God Bless.

When to Stop...

1. Kapag kumakanta at masakit na ang lalamunan kakabirit. Wag ng antayin na mapatid ang litid.



2. Kapag sumasayaw at umatake na ang rayuma at sakit sa kasu-kasuan. Mawawala ng tuluyan ang career.




3. Kapag nagaaral at nararamdaman mo na namamaga na ang utak mo kakaisip at kakamemorize. Tigilan na, baka maputulan ng ugat - tigok!



4. Kapag kumakain at nakikita mong para ka ng nakalunok ng pakwan. Daig mo pa ang nagbubuntis ng kambal.




5. Kapag nagtatype sa blog at parang nakadikit na ang mga daliri mo keyboard o di kaya e hanggang mawala na ang mga letra nito.




6. Kapag nakikipagkwentuhan sa mga kabaro at kachokaran nang walang humpay at kung saan-saang direksyon na tumatalsik ang laway mo. Mala-asido pa naman yan...




7. Kapag naghihilod ng katawan kapag naliligo na parang gusto mo ng makita ang buto mo sa kakakuskos. Sayang ang libag. Wala nang pagtataniman ng kamote.



8. Kapag nakikipaginuman at di mo na alam kung san mo naiwan ang celfon at wallet mo. Minsan style din ito ng mga taong wala naman talagang pambayad. Magkukunwari na lang na laseng at nanakawan para di na pagbayarin. Tsk, tsk, tsk...




9. Kapag wala ka ng nakikitang dahilan para ituloy pa ang isang relasyon dahil wala ka namang nakukuha dito kungdi puro sama ng loob... (ouch! patamaan ba ako?!!!)

My First Composition

Akalain mo ba na makakapagcompose ako ng kanta nun nasa High School pa lang ako? Ganyan ka sidhi ang feelings ko nun sa pag-ibig! Di ko na nga lang matandaan kung sino un lalakeng naginspire sakin na gawin itong kantang to, ahehhe.. May tono ito, pero di na nagawan ng accompaniment. Di naman ako music arranger or musician e. So hanggang ganito na lang ang kaya ko....


Please Tell me How

Why do this have to happen
When all I've done is for good
Are you really meant for her
This and more I always ask

Feelings I have I cant control
And burstingin tears is all I can do
Loving you is not hard to do
Bur forgetting you is a burden

Chorus:
What should I do
I never wanted anything in this world
Than your love, your sweet love
What should I say
To let you know how I feel inside
How does it hurt
How deep is the wound
Please help me forget
Please tell how

Memories of you I'll always treasure
Happy moments with you I'll cherish
Together with my song
I'll be thinking of you
Til the end of time

Asejia's Passion

At an early age, my son Asejia Renoir is showing signs of creativity and I'm so proud of him. Why not? I am a frustrated artist myself. I have wished that I can put more colors in my drawings(and my life) and be more realistic. But too bad, I am not gifted... Di ako gifted child. Ahehe...

My son is now 9.Just imagine at what age I gave birth to him... Heheheh!!! How time flies so fast!!! His name Asejia was given by his dad which is derived from the word Asia. Renoir on the other hand is the name I have given to him. It is a name of a French Painter. That should explain his passion for Arts.

I'm already keeping a big cabinet for all his drawings. Starting when he was probably 3 or 4. Too bad I was not able to keep those firsts... Akala ko kase kinopya lang sa libro or tinrace lang... ahehehhe!!!

By the way, my sister gave him a drawing book and pastel colors for Christmas. At ng nakita ng anak ko un regalo hindi na nya pinatagal... Sumalampak agad sya sa sahig at nagdrawing. Walang palit-palit ng damit kahit naka school uniform pa sya. Tinitigan ko sya habang nagdodrawing. He knows how it should look like... Nakakatuwa talaga. Buti na lang meron syang interest sa Arts. Hope this will show a brighter future for him.

These are his first pastel drawings:

 

 

 

 

Thank you po kay Tita Lexie for the gifts!!! You should be proud of these drawings!!!

Certified Blogista and Camwhore

Who else am I talking about here? Well, for those of you na hindi ko kasama sa work would never know who this creature is, but let me introduce you to the recently self confessed blogger addict!

I won't be telling what our working relationship is. Let us just say that he is one of the people at work that I look up to. (I literally look up to anyone naman e, because of my height ahehe!)We've been working for a year now, (Happy anniversary!) and hopefully we'll be spending a lot of years together.

Anyway, nakakaaliw lang tong taong to dahil kahit na marami syang trabaho ay nagagawa pa rin nyang magblog. And mind you, di lang isang post ang nagagawa nya sa isang araw. Kaya naman before going to work or even at work, I make sure that I get to read his blog para may mapagusapan at makapagasaran sa work. Game din kase sya makipagasaran at pinapatulan nya mga pangiinis ko at mga jokes ko na ako lang ang nakakaintindi minsan.

May blog fever na nga sa work e. Bastat may mapagusapan lang na konti e, "Ibablog ko toh!" Ano na?!!!Syempre kapag addict un isang tao e, naiimpluensyahan naman un iba. Kaya some of my colleagues are now planning to create their own blogs. Why not? Blog Bandwagon, here they come!

Un isang kasama ko rin sa work e nagpapakaaddict na rin. She calls her
self "Blogista Jr". And soon, I might feature her here as well.

Now speaking of camwhoring, tignan nyo na lang ang blog nya at see for yerselves!!!

Click this - Blogista!

Working has never been so light and fun til the time that I worked with him. I have discovered a lot of things about my self thru him and he never grew impatient with me. Masaya at challenging. Maraming spoofs at gimik. Nakakatuwa!



Me with the Certified Blogista and Camwhore

Bad Me

Hindi ako uber bad. Pero let's admit it. We are all bad in some little ways. Aheheh... I believe as long as di ka naman nakakainsulto, nkakasakit at nakakatapak ng tao e, keri lang...

Anyway, I dont really intend to list my bad or nasty attitudes here. Just wanna share some of my bad habits, which I get to realize after 28 effin' years!!! And let me just say that I dont intend to do away with these bad habits... Depende siguro...


1. Pulling strands of my hair. Yup... I naturally have wavy hair. Kapag ganitong nawawala na ang bisa ng siyensya, lumalabas na ang sumpa. At kapag nangyayari to, I cant help but check on every strand. Pag naramdaman ko na magaspang, binubunot ko sya at saka titigan at saka puputulin into half.




2. Starting reading books and eventually losing interest on it. Bakit nga ba? Pero natapos ko naman un Twilight ah.... ahehehe!!! Well, I get to finish some good books naman, kaso lang kapag alam ko na un itatakbo ng story ayoko ng tapusin. Mahilig din ako sumabay sa bandwagon. Meaning, kapag narinig ko that everyone is talking about this book, I will try to read it but yun nga lang, kapag alam ko na ang takbo, aayawan ko na sya.

3. Priorities. Priorities. Priorities. Ikaw, alam mo ba mga priorities mo? Di ka ba nahihirapan mamili kung ano uunahin mo? "Duty first before pleasure" sometimes is not applicable to me... I love pleasure if you know what I mean...




5. Smoking. I'm trying to quit,ok. I dont buy packs na. Whenever I have a pack kase, napapalakas ang yosi ko. Pero I still deserve a pat on the back because there are days na natitiis ko na zero-nicotine talaga. Just need to have a little or a lot of persistence.



6. Drinking. I 'm a social drinker. Is that bad?



7. Not paying my credit cards on time. Please refer to the third bullet... That explains it.



8. Removing my shoes at work. I know, I know... Nakakawala sya ng glamour... aheheh... Relaxing kase sya eh... Need I say more? (My feet doesnt have a smell by the way).

9. Resting my legs up at work. Again, another form of relaxation for me...




10. Not visiting my dentist on scheduled appointments. Sorry doc! Hehehe... Refer to number 3 again...

11. Texting my mom. This has been an ongoing issue. Minsan kase or kadalasan I dont text my mom when I will go home late or something. I know I'm old enough to know this but sometimes kase, kahit magpaalam ako pinapagalitan ako. So,wag na lang ako magtext tutal pareho din naman. Aheheh.. Love you mama!




12. Gimiks or After-Shift Bonding. I believe I owe this to my self naman... Eto na lang kaligayahan ko e... Masama ba un?

13. Wearing my night gowns or PJ's till late afternoon. Nakakatamad magpalit e. Gusto ko pagkaligo ko na lang para di aksaya sa damit ahehehe... Kawawa naman si ate Inday.

14. Baby talkin. This is actually my way of putting humor in my daily conversations. Di naman sya nakakainis pakinggan...Cute nga e... Believe me!




15. Setting up a budget and not sticking on it. Again, refer to number 3. Bago dumating ang payday, nakalista na ang dapat bayaran and all but when pay check comes, hellooooooo!!! You know what I mean...



16. Faith, Prayer, Church. Been a backslider for more than 4 years now. Used to be on fire with the Victory Church in Alabang. But in just a snap of a finger, I lost everything. I still have faith, I still believe there is a Creator. But I have a lot of questions which I'm still waiting to be answered.

Whew... This is quite a long list... Meron pang iba actually pero I dont think I can post them all here. Nakakahiya aheheh!!!

So there, gets you to know a bit about me. Friends pa rin tayo ah....
