sarap.

a great performance never really ends. it lives on in the hearts and in the minds of the people who were there. and when you give a legendary performance, you also take a place in history.

may life give you as much happiness as you brought to all of us.

i didn't know i could twist and turn like that

spent almost the whole day at the gym with choirmates Edmund and Louise. free workout at FF Platinum in TriNoma. went to a yoga class and i did great! :) i just impressed myself. hahaha! buti may mat dito sa bahay. now i have to find yoga DVDs so i can practice by myself.

got this from a bonnet babe:

Denise Cariño: “Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination.
rac: ok. brb.
Denise Cariño: Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.” - Neil Gaiman

GRRR! love hurts! *WAVES FIST IN THE AIR*

Ong-isms

"Bakit ka magpaparamdam sa taong hindi marunong makaramdam? Wag kang magpakatanga, sa taong hindi marunong magpahalaga. Matuto kang sumuko at mang-iwan, kung lagi ka namang sinasaktan.

"Imbis na magtanong ka ng "Hindi pa ba sapat?" bakit hindi mo na lang kalimutan ang lahat? Kung alam mong binabalewala ka na, tanggapin mong nagsasawa na sya.
Wag kang magpadala sa salitang "sorry" at "ayokong mawala ka"

pakshet

gusto ko na pabayaan ang sarili ko. alam kong hindi tama. but i just need somebody to pull me through this time. i got burnt, numbed. and yet the gravity of the pain sears through the numbness and now i hurt. really bad.

friends who know me i'm not like this at all. i am very willed and strong. but only a few truly know how strong i am. man, you have no idea. this is just a phase, i know. but i sure wish this won't last any longer.

well, anyway, i could very much easily go back to posting on my old, previous, somehow-still-private blogsite so i would not have the fear of having other people read through my truest, sincerest sentiments.

what the heck.

glad to be back!

unsa man mga dong? i'm back from the mountains of danao, cebu. glad to be back, but still, there are demons to face which is, on one hand, good. just proves i'm still here and fighting. there are so many things i realized when i was away. one of them was the cruelty of having to work ridiculously hard (not that i worked THAT hard) and also being away from family and friends you dearly love. but anyway, i wouldn't mind going back there, actually. the project's just really one of a kind and delicate. they say the harder it is to achieve something, the more its worth is. besides, the experience and the opportunity to save some money for myself and my family are two good reasons, too.

now making small, simple but noteworthy changes in my life. happy-happy!

in other news, three of us in my core group are going through some rough times but i know we'll all pull through. cess, hurry back! :)

just finished season 1 of ugly betty

I'm hooked! Ganda.

Everbody's got an Ugly Betty in us, fighting our own battles to achieve our aspirations and more. We may not admit it, but somehow, we still think at a certain level of what the others might think and feel about us, about the things we do, and us being afraid of rejection, of disappointing other people. Never mind ourselves, we can always try to live with our own.

from Ugly Betty's Hilda:
"you don't want them to see how hurt you are because you're afraid you're gonna lose them."

man up!

i know i'm supposed to "man up" (and i have, mind you) but i just can't take it anymore. i just hit SEND on my email to my boss, asking for a re-assignment back to manila. paksheeeeeeeet!

sorry for the late post

hi.

okay, so here's my story.

got pulled out from our project in makati and was flown here in danao, cebu last wednesday night. set-up our now very complete site office with construction manager josef (lolo). today we have started working 7/24 (yes, it's REALLY 7/24), and for now i am on the nightshift. from our resort (www.elsalvadorresort.com) in danao, we travel about 10 minutes to get to the foot of the mountain, 35 minutes to get into the middle of nowhere, and a 15-minute hike up the first borehole.

this tough and delicate project is the first of its kind in the whole company and also in our offices worldwide (www.bauer.de). every day we are faced with major and minor troubles, try to come up with possible solutions, LEARN, and hope for the best. everything can be so frustrating, but my only consolation is that, after this project (whether it goes well or not), i will be one of the privileged few engineers to have handled this kind of work. nobody really knows how to work this and by that, i am afraid to NOT deliver. surprisingly, i'm glad to have talked to stefan (one of our german PM's) last night when we went out (hurrah! i saw lights and the city!) for dinner and ottinger (wheat beer, see photos). he made me feel a bit secure. true. i shouldn't worry too much. :) oh, we saw christopher de leon. the waitresses ogled over him. too bad christopher de leon didn't see rac roldan ;)

for now, i'm saying homesickness sucks. it kills. the working conditions are relatively good. it's just that when i miss people, that gets me really down. but i'll get used to it. i think i already am. bit by bit :) can't really do much aside from work and sleep (4 hours is heaven!). hopefully in the future i could tour cebu. but for now it's impossible. the resort is very nice but i don't have the luxury of time to explore and maximize it's amenities. thank god for sun cellular and internet. these are the 2 things that keep me sane here.

let the pictures (which i will be uploading from time to time) do the talking. the photos might appear that everything is nice and easy and fun but it's otherwise. oh well. fun is okay. i'm learning to lurve it, though. that's what matters.

anyhoo, please take note of my personal mobile numbers:
0906-3402326 (globe)
09227834526 (sun)
09082368391 (smart)

only smart has signal up the mountains. good enough for texting.

ciao!

danao, danao

and so here i am at naia 3's lounge.


just downed gonuts donuts' doubly-priced sweets and beverages while waiting for boarding time. i'm riding cebu pacific to mactan. will get picked up by my construction manager on site, josef.

didn't quite finish trevi with JPC. we had good times there. everybody worked really well on the project and hence, deserves a beneficial bonus.

will be staying at ---

oops! there goes my boarding call.

LSS: IF I BELIEVE (by patti austin, JPC, babe chaps)

voila! i'm here na sa El Salvador Resort. very anxious about my role here. pero okay lang. try everything once. give this a chance. i miss everybody already. pero kelangan kumayod. :) besides, para rin sa akin ito.

lots to say, too tired to even attempt it.

Currently listening to:
the resort's MYMP playlist. shetness. bakit ganito ang epekto ng mga kanta sa akin these days? :(

nasa bundok

ako po ay papunta na sa danao, cebu. sa isang bundok. you'll be hearing from me.

one just simply drifts away.
a dam of emotions and a whole lot of words are sometimes better left unknown.
you just have to find your footing once more and you make the most out of what you have.
you gave it your all and that's what matters.

i gave it my all, i'm done and my future is what matters.

happiness truly is a choice.

don't you ever feel like you try and you try and you try and you never ever get there? it's like waking up every morning and failing every time.

emo crap #1

one should never stop loving fiercely. not even for a second. for if one does, you'll never know what'll happen. for all you know, the joke's on you and you'll never guess what hit you. and you'll spend the rest of your life regretting having done so.

The Beatles Forever

I am rediscovering the genius of The Beatles once more.

Thanks to my kuya, The Beatles became one of my earliest influences in music. Throw any Beatles song at me and I would be more than willing to sing it.

excuse me, that's Engr. Roldan to you. :)

sa wakas, after 7 long, grueling years, i am now a licensed civil engineer. maraming salamat po sa lahat ng mga dasal at suporta. magpapaburger ako! hahaha! i never expected this to happen. the test was so hard and i was more prepared last november. for once, parang gumaling akong manghula.

my best mates val, denise and cess (idagdag na rin si engr. idol pat villavicencio who gave me 2 1-peso coins to put in my soles during the boards) can attest to my awful study habits and the lack thereof. but frankly, i couldn't have done it without them, my dear best mates. one is truly blessed to have friends like them. thank you.

to my folks who never grew tired of me asking for daily baons, pamasahe and other stuff, mahal ko po kayo. sacrifice means you two.

to my siblings and their better halves, salamat!

sa awit panalangin choir na kasama ko ng sampung taon (one decade na ako!) magpuri sa panginoon, videoke na! i have to tell you, when i'm singing with you during rehearsals and sunday masses, wala akong ibang iniisip kung hindi ang kumanta at magserve. singing is twice praying! totoo ito!

sa mga minahal at minamahal ko sa buhay (wushuuu! 'wag na kayo magtanong. hindi ko kayo sasagutin. hmp! akala niyo!), salamat sa lahat ng inspirasyon. kilala niyo kung sino kayo :)

to our beloved professors in college who taught us lessons in and out of the classroom, to our mentors in RI and also in Padilla Review Center, maraming salamat din po.

sa mga naunang board passers, salamat sa lahat ng encouragement. there truly is light at the end of the tunnel. :)

at siyempre sa iba ko pang mga circles like UST Mediartrix, Club Metrica, UST Arki friends, Damian2K, Grand Boulevard Hotel Room #1645 mates (Abba, Eli, Marco), etc., salamas!

to the rest of my family and friends who never failed to let me know they are behind me a hundred per cent, salamat!

Thursday, May 08, 2008

sagaran na ito!

everybody's invited! samahan niyo ako at ang mga kaibigan kong magwala! tapos na ang boards at wala nang pakialamanan! sagarin ang summer para pagdating ng june, trabaho na!

come everyall!

what a boost!

just got home from an interview with a german engineering firm. never thought i'd be excited to work in a geotech field. no tests, just one interview. the boss seemed very well pleased with me. sabi niya i should touch base with his secretary once i'm done with the boards. let this be for me. please. sana pumasa sa boards, sana mapunta sa ****. (hehe. wouldn't want to jinx it.)

hay. what a morale boost. all in god's time.

If we could just play it by ear...

i saw yet another job posting today in friendster. WILLING TO WORK IMMEDIATELY IN _________. sana. sana...

sana magkatrabaho na ako.
sana ma-renew ko na passport ko.
sana mamatay na mga effin stupid people sa PRC.
sana maka-move out na ako.
sana talaga mamatay na sila as i say (a-la babalu), "buset!"

every day i hear mass. and every day, naiinis pa rin ako sa nangyari. okay na sana 'yung last november eh. we all had the drive to make it good sa board exam. marami kaming magkakasama. iisa ang focus. now it's just different. way different.

every single day i find reasons to not study. every single day i find myself not studying when in fact i ought to be.

if it weren't for the reality that PRC robbed us of our lives, eh di sana wala ng sana-sana.

the photo doesn't have to do anything with the write up


like i said, the photo doesn't have to do anything with the write up. nakita ko lang with noriko, my niece, sa tv yesterday. super cute si pocoyo! at favorite ko si pato! so cute!

i have been attending morning masses every day for 2 or 3 weeks now and i must say, the discipline to keep at it is great. every day, god gives us reasons (and the grace to recognize the need) to redeem ourselves, and god also gives us opportunities to do so.

sa ngayon, hindi ko masasabing walang paltos ang pagpunta ko sa misa. sa ibang mga pagkakataon, kung hindi ako nakakapunta sa umaga, nagsisimba ako sa gabi. at hindi ko rin maitatanggi na sa ibang misa ay lumilipad ang isip ko, nababaling sa mga problema't plano ko sa buhay. at sa tuwing may choir, 25% ng attention ko ay nasa pakikinig sa choir: "ay, hindi nila ginagawa 'yung triplet," "ang pangit ng phrasing," "okay 'yun ah. i-blog ko nga later."

but above all, minsan nagugulat ako sa mga taong pumapasok sa isip ko para ipagdasal: mga minamahal, kaaway, pamilya, kaibigan, kaibigan ng kaibigan, kaibigan ng kaibigan ng kaibigan, pulitiko, at kung sinu-sino pa.

kanina, naisip ko habang naglalakad pauwi, kung itetext ko ang mga ipinagdadasal ko. pero sa isang banda, "'wag na. basta nandun na mga prayers ko kay lord."

but if you're reading this, isa ka dun sa mga ipinagdasal ko.

The Chordettes Lyrics

LOLLIPOP

Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop.....

Call my baby lollipop
Tell you why
His kiss is sweeter than an apple pie
And when he does his shaky rockin' dance
Man, I haven't got a chance

I call him
Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop.....

Sweeter than candy on a stick
Huckleberry, chimry or lime
If you had a choice
He'd be your pick
But lollipop is mine

Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop.....

Crazy way he thrills me
Tell you why
Just like a lightning from the sky
He loves to kiss me till I can't see straight
GEE, MY LOLLIPOP IS GREAT

I call him
Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop.....

SideShow

Song: Who Will Love Me As I Am
Violet:
Like a fish plucked from the ocean
Tossed into a foreign stream
Always knew that I was different
Often fled into a dream
I ignored the raging current
Right against the tide I swam
But I floated with the question
Who will love me as I am?

Daisy:
Like an odd exotic creature
On display inside a zoo
Hearing children asking questions
Makes me ask some questions too
Could we bend the laws of nature?
Could a lion love a lamb?
Who could see beyond this surface?
Who will love me as I am?

Daisy & Violet:
Who will ever call to say I love you?
Send me flowers or a telegram?
Who could proudly stand beside me?
Who will love me as I am?

Daisy:
Like a clown whose tears cause laughter
Trapped inside the center ring

Violet:
Even seeing smiling faces
I am lonely pondering

Daisy & Violet:
Who would want to join this madness?
Who would change my monogram?
Who will be part of my circus?
Who will love me as I am?
Who will ever call to say I love you?
Send me flowers or a telegram?
Who could proudly stand beside me?
Who will love me as I am?

Company:
Who could proudly stand beside me?
Who will love me as I am?

limpid

Just wanted to share this with you. I made this Tuesday, October 11, 2005.

limpid
a sudden gush of clarity
sheds a different light on my life
everything seems so easy
everything seems so light
everything is abruptly beautiful

nothing is forced
and if anything ever is
i do not feel it
apparently
i have been
becharmed

with this courage you have given me
let me walk the walk of fame
and let me walk the walk of shame
i am yours
you are mine

i am yours
and you are mine
afraid i am not
it is because in my heart
i truly know deep in my heart
that you keep me
i love you and you are mine

denise!

remember what we talked about last night? 'eto naman nabasa ko sa friendster horoscope:

"You're feeling passive today, but don't worry -- you won't become anyone's doormat"

haha. tawa na lang ako. *shoots himself in the head*
