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.

Jiltedsummer Welcomes Back TL

Welcome Back!!!

Sticks and stones can break your bones

if there's anger to impart;

spiteful words can hurt your feelings

but silence breaks your heart

Wedding and Reunion

Sa mga di nakapunta sa wedding ni Topher, you missed the fun and the joy we witnessed during the celebration! Bleah!
December 26, 2009, Manila Cathedral, Intramuros. It was a perfect weather for a wedding. Pero bago tayo mapunta sa kasal, marameng bloopers ang nangyari.

Meeting place is in Balibago, Jolibee. After waiting for Arcee, Hennie, Mel and Rose we decided to pick Vina at her place. Ang Vina, di sinipot ng make up artist na dapat mag memake up kay Issey, her daughter, since kasama sya sa entourage. Kaya ang Vina, 6am nangatok ng parlor in their subdivision. And guess what! Nakakita sya ng parlor na slightly open na that very early. Eto ang catch, di sya talaga parlor! Barber shop sya na half parlor! Wahehehe!!! Buti na lang, may bading na stay in dun. Ginising nun mama un bading at sinabi na may customer sya at ayun, mega tayo ang bading at pagkalabas ng maliit na kurtina, may hawak ng blower si bading!!! Taraan!!! Walang hilamos at walang mumog mumog!!! Wahehehe!!!

Di na pede magpakachoosy si Vina at wala na syang choice, kaya ayun. Samakatuwid, naayusan naman si Issey. Good grief!

Habang naghihintay kame ng tropa sa bahay ni Vina, biglang nagtext sakin si Alex. On the way na daw sya. Since wala na kame sa Jollibee, sabi ko dumerecho na lang sya sa Walter Mart, at dun na lang namen sya pipick up-in dahil nakaalis na nga kame sa Jollibee Balibago at mas madali since malapit dun sa place nina Vina. Alam nyo ba ang sagot nya sakin? " Sang Walter yan? May Walter Mart ba sa Pacita?"

Nagpapatawa ata itong si Alex. So sinagot ko sya, "Sino naman may sabi sayo sa Pacita ang meeting place?". At ang shocking revelation, " IKAW!!! Tinext mo sakin kagabi sa Jollibee Pacita!!"

Nanginig ang katawan ko sa sobrang pagkashock! Napa OMG ako to the highest level! Ako pala ang may sala! Di ko man maalala na un ang tinext ko, di ko rin makita sa sent items ko na un nga ang message ko. Then na realize ko na pupungas pungas pa ako nun nagsasagot ako ng text messages yesterday. Tulog nga kase ako ng pasko. Ahehehe. No choice tuloy kame kung di balikan si Alex sa may Southwoods at dun na lang sya pick up-in.

Malinaw na sana ang usapan, sa toll gate siya baba. After 5 minutes of waiting, we called her up. On the way na daw sya. Kung ano anong subdivision na nga daw ang dinadaanan nya. So kampante na kame. After 5 minutes, wala pa rin ang Alex. Tinawagan ulet namen. Shet! Cannot be reached na! Eto ang second OMG ko to the highest level!!! It was almost 8 am and we couldnt bear to wait that long dahil 9 am ang wedding. 3 na kame kumukontak sa kanya. Talagang patay pa rin ang phone nya.

Nagpakatulala muna ako. Habang naghihintay ng Alex na bumungad sa harapan ko, nagiisip din ako kung hihintayin pa nga rin namen sya. Hanggang sa, nakatanggap ako ng text from her. Ang lola pala ay nakasakay sa jeep na pa-Alabang! Hindi yan dadaan ng Southwoods! Another OMG!!! Ahahaha!!

At dahil dito, nauna na lang kame at si Alex nagcommute na lang to Intramuros.

Nagkita kita rin kame pagdating sa simbahan. Ito na ang reunion.

L to R: Me, Alex, Rose, Hennie, Issey and Vina

L to R: Mel, Rose, Me, Henry, Issey, Hennie and Vina

L to R: Vina, Mel, Hennie, Issey, Henry, Rose and Arcee.


First row: Henry's mom, Hennie and Mel, Rose, Alex and Vina.
Second row: Me, Arcee, Gladie with Gaea and hubby Alvin.


L to R: Henry, Hennie, Mel, Rose and Alex

Pagkatapos ng Sakalan, este Kasalan derecho kame sa reception - sa Ilustrado. So Spanish right?

Dito nagkahiwahiwalay na kame. Naunahan na kase kame kaya no choice kung di makisingit na lang sa mga mga bakante. But at least kasama ko pa rin si Vina.Pagkatapos ng kainan. Balik sa tradition, ang Wedding garter.

Ang catch, kailangan nilang mag limbo!!! So patigasan ng tuhod ito!!! Aheheh!!! Ang Arcee, magaling tumakas, nakapuslit!!!

This is Jake, trying his luck!

Sa mga girls naman, may twist din. "Hep! hep! Hooray!" naman ang game. Pero this time, "Chris" and "Marie" ang sasabihin. So eto kameng lahat ng "contestants" with the bride.



And guess what? Nakalusot ako! Buti na lang nakapagpractice ako sa office kapag may ganitong game!! Ahaha!!! Kinarir ko ba talaga? Hmmm... Di naman, di ako masyado pinagdiskitahan ni ateng host e. When we were down to 3 na... ito na ang drama...


Kailangan hilahin ang ribbon sa bouquet ni bride. Sa 3 ribbon na yan, isa lang talaga ang nakadikit sa bouquet. Effort si ateng nasa right sa paghila di ba? Ahehehe!!! Ako, nagdadasal na ako jan... na sana wag ako!

At ang kinalabasan...

Tadaan!!!

Ako ang biktima!!!

Di pa jan natapos yan... May ganitong eksena pa!


At ng natapos na ang ganitong kaganapan, more bonding na kame with the groom. Nagalisan na ang lahat ng tao pero naiwan pa kame... at nilamutak namen ang wedding cake!!!

There you go. It was really worth it. Actually, kahit na pauwi na kame sobrang saya pa rin namin. We started reminiscing our high school days and we got the chance to update ourselves with the latest. Bitin pa nga e. Walang traffic kase kaya saglit lang byahe namen. Sana magkaroon pa ng maraming ganito. And prove that our friendship can stand the test of time.
