Somewhere Down the Road

Originally sung by B. Manilow.

This song often reminds me how much I have wished I would still end up with my EX. But truth of the matter is, he wont. He never will. Because he has already done his part in my life. All I have to do now is to learn the lesson from my past and hopefully gain the courage to face the reality that we are never meant to be...

The Time Has Come

After 2 years and 6 months of being a teammate in our company I have finally been promoted!

It was indeed good news. And it was a position in the company that I have always dreamed to have but has never thought that I would have the chance.

Things happened so fast. And I must say that everything came as a surprise.

It all started with an interview that was never mentioned to us til the very day of the interview. I was even half awake when I read the message. Funny thing was, I didnt realize that I was an hour an a half away from the scheduled interview! You wouldnt believe how I made it on the interview!

The following day, I was notified that I was short listed! This was already a big achievement for me! Truth of the matter is, I have never been short listed before. So for me, this was already a gift. At least I have proven somehow that I have an edge.

I arrived two hours before the schedule. Of course I have to prepare and have the correct mind setting before I fought in the war; before I face these people who will judge me and will gauge my skills if I would be appropriate for the position. I honestly think I am not really good in impressing people and I am not good in selling my self to the extent of boasting.. I am scared that they would have a negative impression of me. I guess that applies for everyone.

But anyway, I had to wait for 5 hours for my turn. Yes. 5 long hours. 5 hours of anticipating. 5 hours of strong throbbing of my heart. 5 hours of cold and sweating hands. 5 hours of thinking how I should present my self.

For every applicant, one hour was the least that was given to prove what u got.

I was the 6^th out of the 7 who got short listed. And when my turn came, all I had in mind was just to have the discussion end and carry on with my life.

I must admit I was overwhelmed with the responses I have received after the interview. I must also say that the sincerity of what I said during that time exuded that it got so apparent that the panel of interviewers need not to question.

I have received positive feedback. Not to mention that some has even called me or sent me a message just to let me know how impressed they were. Modesty aside, they even said that it was only with me that they clapped their hands just to show how impressed they were with me.

I had to wait for a week. A week that felt longer than the usual.

The big day has finally arrived. The day that declared I am now a trainer!

Yup, I am now a trainer. Like what I have mentioned earlier, I have never thought that I would be one. For me, it is a position that is highly classified. Big wing position.

Big thanks to my TL, James Leyson, my mentor. For the last couple of years, he has molded me to be what I am today. Your leadership has been exceptional that I am looking up to you.

To my significant other, DKA. You are my lucky charm I guess aheheh.:P

To my family, for all the support. I may have not been always there for you and I know I have to make it up to all of you big time. And I'm sorry for all my shortcomings.

And to God, thanks for hearing my prayers. And big thanks for giving me this gift.... the skill to teach.

This is just the beginning....

Christmas '09

This has been loooong overdue!

But since I have made a promise to my blog that I will be posting about how my Christmas went, then I have to post these pics.

Better late than never, aheheh!!!

Christmas gifts from friends and family

My niece Alych and my god daughter Leigh with brother EG Boy

Picture below shows me with my nieces Alych and Aleeia, my son Asejia.

Again EG boy and Leigh

Christmas '09 is sharing...

This year I shared!!! :-)

I have really prepared something for those kids who will be dropping by to ask for gifts. Honestly this is the first time that I will be doing this.

I guess my son like the idea so he woke up early to help me out.

See him in his PJ's ahehehe!!!

Coaching and Traning

I'm now on my second month!



Been fortunate enough to be selected as one of the coaches for the new hires in our company. And I must say that I was lucky to handle 2 classes.

What's so special about it?

Aside from the fact that I got the chance to be off the phone for 2 months, I was also able to play an important role in displaying and inculcating the "Culture" in our work place. This comes as the primary responsibility of the coach in every training class. Second is of course to disseminate the process and procedure in terms of our line of business.

I am truly happy for this oppurtunity. I must say that not every one gets the chance to be a coach. And with all honesty, I hope this would help me as well to improve more on my leadership.

Goodluck to my Class!!!!

Sun Kissed!

It may be a little bit late for me to post about my summer escapade but I will be posting it anyway. :D This is actually the first time that I had a looong vacation with friends. I'm talking about 5 days of nothing but fun, water and sun. We stayed at La Carmela for the rest of the vacation. And most of the time, we were out in the sun and we just come to our room to change clothes, aheheh! Anyway, on our first day we tried the ZORB. I am not really an adrenaline junkie but since I was pushed by my friends, I had no choice but to succumb! We tried the extreme type, where in your body will just be attached in the inside of this huge inflatable wall and you will come rolling down the hill! Imagine how many times you would be going in circles and feel your body touching the ground!!! I will be honest with you here, I really felt my body ached after the ride.

Here I am efore the ride. See me scared as sh*t!!!

Here is a snip of the Zorb ride.

Big Mouth for Lunch!

With Aldrin (Hazel's hubby) and Hazel trying our biggie drinks.

Boracay trip is not complete without a mark, Henna time!

Another thing we tried in Boracay is the Reef Walking. I guess it's just 15 feet underwater and it's not really that scary... Not unless you're claustrophobic. I must say I got little scared at first. I was thinking, what if I won't be able to breathe upon wearing that helmet? What if the helmet floated and leaves my head? What if a shark suddenly pops up? Of course, none of those happened. It's just the result of my great imagination, aheheh! We stayed underwater for 30 minutes. And yes it is something that is worth my PHP 500.00!!! It was only the weight of the helmet that I can't help... But of course it becomes bearable under the water. :D

Here's the video of our Marine Walk


Now to end this post, see the blissful peace of the water in Boracay....

Will certainly miss the place and the memories....

Can't Make You Love Me - my version

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don’t patronize
Don’t patronize me

‘Cause I can’t make you love me If you don’t
You can’t make your heart feel something it won’t
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart, and I’ll feel the power
But you won’t, no you won’t
And I can’t make you love me
If you don’t

I’ll close my eyes and then I won’t see
The love you do not feel, when you’re holding me
Morning will come, and I’ll do what’s right
Just give me till then, to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

And I can’t make you love me if you don’t
You can’t make your heart feel something it won’t
And here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power
But you won’t, no, you won’t
And I can’t make you love me
If you don’t

How I Wish...

How I Wish.....

I can see your face

touch your cheeks

and run my fingers through your hair

look straight to your eyes

and get lost in the dream....

How I Wish....

I can smell the fragrance of your presence

and feel the warmth of your hands on my shoulder

See through the wonders of your smiles

and wander through the vast emptiness

of the love that had been.

How I Wish...

My words would be filled with meaning

to inspire my thoughts

Conceal the pain of the past

and decipher what the future beholds.

How I Wish...

That my hands would fit yours everytime we touch

would complement the difference of our worlds.

Forget the traces of our history

and face the hurdles of destiny with great bravery...

How I Wish ...

But sadly dreams don't come true....

Poetic Side of Him

Drown me in your hazel eyes enigma

Jaded me in your black hair ringlet

Put your charm spells in my sleep

Put your insanity spells in my dreams

Who needs awakening ?

Who needs asleep ?

And you are back

And you are here .

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

Now with you and me

I feel whole once more

Together in eternity

Forget what it is for

I think I'd hide away

If you ever said goodbye

I think I'd lose myself

No more reasons to ask why.

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

JUST SMILE

Your smile makes me feel happy,

gives me a warm glow inside,

makes the day seem lighter

and drama to subside.

so my happy queen
lighten up all you serious ones,
lighten up all you important ones,
lighten up all you forever ones,

and smile away your cares,

you give me one,
you'll get one free,

resolve to be happy,

spread cheer to me and dears,
drama are one mind exclusive
smile are life of joy exclusive
that’s why smile are contagious, not tears.

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

REIGN OF LOVE

Reign of love

I can’t let go

Reign of love

I believe in you
To the sea I offer

This heavy load
But the sea
said go to the lord lord

oh lord
I’m just a prisoner

In a reign of love
Please help me
lord
oh lord
this Reign of love

By the church
By the mosques
my knees go praying
Don't you see me praying
Please help me
Lord.. lord hear me praying
I am waiting for my

Reign of love

lord
oh lord
How I wish I'd lived
I'd lifted
I'd raised
I'd felt
I'd understood
my Reign of love

lord
oh lord
I miss her
I never thinking of a girl in this obsess
You can judge meIf you know her so well

lord
oh lord
That girl, that girl She's mine
lord
oh lord
I miss her

I am sorry

New Crib Update

Yes we have finally moved in the new house (which has actually caused me to be in Hiatus in the internet world for almost a month! Thanks to PLDT's slow customer sevice and service update! )

Anyhow, let me give you a glimpse of how that house actually looked like a day before we transferred.

Here is where you would see how this house looked like before we moved in.

This is actually my mom's idea. She took care of everything... from the paper works to the last nail in this house. It was such an accomplishment to see how it turned out. My dad is glad to see the big change in the house. That despite of the fact that we were not anticipating this at all, we were able to share what we can share to be able to finish this project. And that includes our finances.

It was not only the finances that hit us real hard. There were some people who we thought would help us out in this project turned out to take advantage of my mom's kindness. In the end we had to pay twice for the construction since first one didn't do the job right and purchasing cans of paints and bags of cements that we didn't see being applied in the house. But nowhere to be found.

I guess that will be the little lesson learned out of this experience Ü

Soon I will be posting the pictures when we got in already and when the house already looks like a home. You know how chaotic it is to move in right? Believe me, I don't know how we got through it aheheh!


Feel free to visit me!!!

UPDATE!!!

I kept my word!

I am proud to say that for the last 6 months of the year 2009, I have kept my promise not to be in any kind of relationship.

The time to redeem my self from the wreckage had to end.

I have to end it.

Though it would be hypocrite for me to say that I am totally over.

But at least I tried to find my self even thru pain.

It would still need more time to completely heal the scars... I dont even know if it would be healed. Nevertheless, I know I have done something right for my self.

At this point, all I can do is just pray. Pray that I won't commit the same mistakes again. Pray that I wouldn't stumble at every rock that I trip on. Pray that I wont falter on every test of faith from Him.

And I pray that this year, will be my year!

Yahooo!!!!

After so many years of wanting and wishing to have one, finally here it is!

I am not really a fan of Starbucks coffee because I find it a bit expensive for coffee. But at times, when pressure and loneliness dwell, it becomes worth it! :D

Have to save this space to thank my friends who contributed to this success (Wahehehe!!) Raine, Hazel, Kaye, Eric and Sherrie.
