refreshed

mom and i just finished watching a couple of good shows on tv. now it's on QTV and 2 girl hosts are instructing women how to invade their partners' privacy! goodness gracious! i'm all for tracking your boyfriends and all (mom's doing it anyway) but televise it? a big no-no!

hubby and i really feel we're growing stronger and stronger! ang saya! i told him i like what's happening to us and that he's my companion. people don't know this but i really, really value the word "companionship" and it takes me a lot to consider someone a companion. he's beside me in everything that i do. i looooooove him!

so refreshed this week. i feel like there's nothing i can't do.

i love this life!

pictures galore

'Di hamak naman na mas guapo ako sa kakambal ko, 'diba? 'Di ba?!?!

Mayaman kami. Look at my mom's glasses. May diamonds pa!

Just being me. Haha!

Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk! *so evil*

GetUp Noypi

GetUp Noypi's done and over with. Even got to model an entry. Haha! Salamat talaga sa mga speakers na tumulong. Also, the 2-part ka-ECLAT-an writing workshops were quite successful. Everyone learned a great deal. I just hope the lit department will have a good follow through. Now we're left with the Les Miz souvenir program and the very evasive ECLAT newsmagazine. Really hoping to train the members so they can run the lit dept next year.

I guess Tres and I did good on our first quiz in hydraulics. Sana tuluy-tuloy na.

Missed college choir rehearsal today. As with the church choir, we almost nailed it last night. Nagkalat in one of the communion songs. Oh well. By the way, boyfriend got promoted to Tenor :)

Boyfriend's play is tomorrow already! Alot of friends are watching him and I'm really excited to see him on stage.

swimming upstream

i caught Swimming Upstream just a couple of minutes ago in Star Movies. loved it! hunky jesse spencer made my day--and also my super guapo hubby, of course. wala lang. na-touch lang ako when he told his mom, "You're my hero, you know." aw. how sweet. naluha na naman ako :)

so gross

after dining out to celebrate a very important monthsary last night, we strolled around the araneta center and hubby decided he had to have some dessert. we casually walked in gonuts donuts and started choosing the sweets. while waiting in line, i let my eyes browse the whole store and i could have sworn i saw a member of the crew pick his nose. i didn't take my eyes off of him and found him picking his nose with his shirt this time. then he started messing his hair as if he was shampooing it and coolly smiled at the customer in front of him and prepared the order.

he looked like franzen and i even made sure i was not imagining it. i asked hubby and he confirmed what i saw. so gross! we changed our minds quickly and i started looking for a suggestion box. sheesh. i didn't even get his name. they didn't have name tags!

gonuts donuts are really yummy but i wouldn't dare go near their store if this keeps up. totally grossed out up to the point of warning my orgmates about it this morning.

missing!

my gold bracelet, parker mech pen and parker fountain pen are missing! some things keep disappearing these days. what's going on? is this a sign?

3 very expensive gifts disappearing one after the other is not a coincidence.

Happy Birthday, Auntie Luz!

Going nuts over Gonuts Donuts!

small steps

it does not matter how slow you go so long as you do not stop.

i see that posted below my friend's name as his status message everytime i face the computer. i guess i never really took time to ponder on it. it seemed like nothing to me really. but this morning, it's different.

classes started a week ago and i had my mindset to treat every class as training at the office.

this is easy. this is just like any other day at the office.

so far, so good. lessons are absorbed easily and i have plans of retaining them for good in my mind.

all i need is a degree under my belt and i can do anything i want. this is easy. hang on.

and so i go back to albie's phrase mentioned. i have regrets for taking so long a time finishing my course. but not major ones. just simple sighs that i can let pass. the fact that i could have finished school this year will never make up for all the experiences that i have gained in the past years.

small steps, man. small steps.

oh, and by the way, when shit happens, you stop smelling.

Never Gonna Let You Go

Just heard this again this morning. Ang ganda pang-duet.

Never Gonna Let You Go – Sergio Mendes

i was as wrong as i could be
to let you get away from me
i'll regret that move
for as long as i'm living
but now that i've come to see the light
all i wanna do is make things right
so just say the word and tell me that i'm forgiven

you and me
we're gonna be better than we were before
i loved you then but now i intend
to open up and love you even more
this time you can be sure

i'm never gonna let you go
i'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
gonna try and make up for the times
i hurt you so
gonna hold your body close to mine
from this day on we're gonna be together
oh, i swear this time
i'm never gonna let you go

looking back now it seems so clear
i had it all when you were here
oh, you gave it all and i took it for granted
but if there's some feeling left in you
some flicker of love that still shines through
let's talk it out
let's talk about second chances

wait and see
it's gonna be sweeter than it was before
i gave some then but now i intend
to dedicate myself to giving more
this time you can be sure

i'm never gonna let you go
i'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
gonna try and make up for all the times
i hurt you so
gonna hold your body close to mine
from this day on we're gonna be together
oh, i swear this time
i'm never gonna let you go

ooooooh-oh-oh-oooh
so if you'll just say you want me too
i'm never gonna let you go
i'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
gonna try and make up for all the times
i hurt you so
gonna hold your body close to mine
from this day on we're gonna be together
oh, i swear this time
i'm never gonna let you go

never gonna let you go
hold you in my arms forever
gonna try and make up for all the times
i hurt you so
hold your body close to mine
from this day on we're gonna be together
oh, i swear this time
i'm never gonna let you go

orbs?

Look what I caught.
This is something my camera-phone got at the hospital's lobby.
So creepy! Pang-Ghost Busters.Orbs!
Ghosts lurking at the lobby???
Let's take a closer look.

Parang spaceship. So phallic. Hehe!

Nah. Just pulling your leg.
This is the hospital's lighting at the lobby for the christmas season.
Mark Madolaria could have done better :)

my reward

I've always loved Basia. Now that Jay Durias has come up with a revival of one of her songs, I'm loving her all over again.

Reward Lyrics
Artist: Basia

Father I didn't really know you
Mother you are so very far away from me
Hopeless birthdays made me cry
My heart kept saying: It's all right
Obviously that's how it was meant to be

Now I know
There was a reason for it all
And I am not lonely anymore
I got my reward
That's why I am loved

I have you
A lover and a friend
You are everything I need
You are the sun the air I breathe
Without you, life wouldn't be the same
Please never go away
And if you go then don't forget to take me with you

The love that I gave was used against me
Honesty seemed a foreign and old-fashioned word
Maybe I just don't understand
'cause I'm a stranger in this land
Even friends failed to make me feel at home

Now I know
There was a reason for it all...

Jestes moja nagroda
You are my reward

kandols

i miss blogging. i miss writing about things that really compel me to write. not that nothing important ever happens but i guess the anxiety in me kills the focus. lots to do with so little time.

funny, my cousin sent me a message this morning saying, "when you can think of yesterday without regret and of tomorrow without fear, then you are on the sure road to happiness and success. wish you the best." what's that supposed to mean?! yeah, i know. i'm supposed to take it as a challenge. f*ck. i've had enough of challenges already. it's because of my love for challenges that i'm still stuck in engineering.

spent the holidays with family. got to take a couple of days of rest barely enough for all the things i'm supposed to be up for.

god help me!

cancelled my plan to buy from dad his laptop. i figured i better save the money for myself instead. want to start the business real bad. if i had my way, i'd grab the chance to study another course altogether. but then again, no regrets, right?

boyfriend's doing very well at the office. i know he'll impress more people there :) so proud of him.

took some pictures with my phone. i hope i get adobe photoshop installed on the laptop soon. been meaning to edit and layout a number of pictures and projects.
