I am one person who is guilty of saving old messages in my cellphone from people who became really special to me and messages that were very apt during the time I received them (like a cosmic thing). As for the first reason, everytime I read these texts, I feel a certain in-between feeling (I remember the happy times together and the sadness...
He's a guy for crying out loud!Recent tags really got the message across. So you are quitting now?Songs that will always remind me of you:Say It Right (Nelly Furtado)In the dayIn the nightSay it rightSay it allYou either got itOr you don'tYou either stand or you fallWhen your will is brokenWhen it slips from your handWhen there's no time for jokingThere's a hole...
Who's gonna give a shit?Who's gonna take the callFind out that the rule you hadIs painted on the wallAnd you turn up to top-volumeYou're just sitting there in pauseYou fear a little secretThat's scratching at you with its clawsAnd you're trying hard to figure outJust exactly how you feelBefore you end up parked, and sobbingFor it on the steering wheelAnd who are you...
On my way to work after going to mass, I heard this awfully familiar song. At the back of my head, I knew that I have heard it before...the lyrics, at least. But I was also sure it was a different singer. And so I just had to google it. Searched "is it over" and found that it's a song by Jaya. Further...
So it's been a "I'm back on my feet!" day for me. Bente, who finds songs she thinks matches my life found this for me. We even had a conversation on its meaning. Bente: So, if you made itJust be glad that you did and stay thereIf you ever feel loved or neededRemember that you're one of the lucky onesAnd if it's overJust...
After the recent Boracay trip, I was asked to write Manila survival tips. I am limited to just 10 points. This is what i came up with. This should go handy to anyone visiting Manila:) 10 SURVIVAL TIPS1. Before getting into a taxi, ask if the driver knows how to get to where you are going. If he doesn’t, flag another one. Riding...
This is for my american friend, who got bugged by parents of students he was looking after. this is my piece on the incident.There are actually different schools of thoughts. In a country where the motto seems to be "the end justifies the means," any side can claim to be right. On one side, people say "So what's a litlle stealing here, a...
I'd rather tell the world my story than have someone tell it for me :)But it doesn't mean I can't keep secrets. ...
9 hardest times of your life- admitting you were wrong after you have been so insistent that you were right- realizing that you have been tricked after you have given your whole trust- trying to understand when you just cannot- accepting the fact that some things are not meant to be- debating with yourself- parting and letting go of someone you love- trying...
i have been meaning to write about a lot of things...mostly of how crazy things have been. of how most things suck right now...of how i wish people would be more forgiving or be more mindful or be more consistent...of how i hope injustice in all forms be eradicated...lots of stuff. but tonight i heard news from my orgmate that his current officemate...
"racing against time, trying to beat the odds, while trying to keep a sense of dignity drive me crazy..." My friend Bente agrees with me on this. We talked about this yesterday. Last night, while I was walking Ayala Ave. from Paseo Center (where LC and I ate at Persia Grill), I saved this in my phone's draft messages. I only got to...
I started blogging because of someone who would call me "this blog's name" and who I would like to believe, looks out for me and finds that being a teenyweeny bit crazy occasionally is "one of the nice parts of me." I loved the last email so i am sharing it :Thanks for the blog address. Will have a look at it again....
I'm one person who believes that the only way someone can hurt me is because I allowed him to. That the only person I can control is myself. shit happens but what makes the difference is my attitude towards the shit. Whatever I choose to do, someone will get hurt. Either I do or i don't, I will hurt myself or someone. But...
it has been a while since i last blogged. i've actually been to visayas (bohol), mindanao (surigao) and north luzon (baguio) in a span of three weeks. if i said yes to the trip this weekend to camarines, i might be too tired for the next weekend.i've been to cloud 9. i've been to Naked Island which is no longer naked because of...

Lasing ka na naman....."While I was taught to love people unconditionally, to put other people's needs before my own, I am learning not to...just because i don't want to learn to hate."We may give our human loves the unconditional allegiance which we only owe to God. Then they become gods; then they become demons. Then they will...
I found this piece at a very timely hour. http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2007/may/14/yehey/life/20070514lif4.html ...
Got this from a good friend and I think I've gotten to a point where I've understood how short life is and bitterness will get you nowhere.Life is short. Break the rules. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. ...
I went to a wedding last night (26 Sept 07). Rome and Jing's. Early yesterday morning, I watched "My Bestfriend's Wedding" on HBO (saw it years ago but somehow the boat scene got me teary-eyed). My friend Mayette drove me home and on our way we got to talking about jel-o and creme brule..if Kimmy and Michael's marriage will last...anyway, I think a...
Have you ever been to a bachelor's party where the only bachelor (technically since I can't really call Josa/Ho a bachelor, can I?), is the groom to be? I have just attended one (okay, participated may be a better term since we all went to Unimart and then I helped the host in the kitchen. Made good food). We were a small group...
It is always interesting to find out that people do read your blog. It is also interesting to note that Iskos and Iskas feel strongly about being iskos and iskas (we easily gel with each other even if we don't really belong to the same batch, same course, or whatever). Since I have entered UP, I have only known one guy who thinks...

This study is conducted every 10 years. It is surprising that Ateneo schools rank only 5 and...
I still remember Claudine, a healer (who opened my Chakras so I didn’t drink during the send-off of one of my batchmates) figured out that I give too much just by touching my shoulders…mental note to self: self above others. Hahaha. I am learning to be a little selfish.Last August 30, we went to a new friend’s place (who lives with his charming...
I found this word file on my desktop. I probably saved it for a good reason. While some of it I find really cruel, i think most of it still amuses me (for a time, I may have subscribed to all of them. hahaha) Before, hinahabol kita pero di mo ako pinapansin. Tapos isang araw nawala ako, hinanap mo ako at tinanong, "Bakit...

It's been two weeks since I last cried. Sobbed would be more appropriately. Sobbed shamelessly. It has been a while since i felt that vulnerable.I Can't Make You Love Me(M. Reid/A.

"You're my lucky charm.""If this doesn't work, will you marry me?""Tara, tanan na tayo."Bru is driving me out of my head. The day ends with Bru saying not to do the usual wake up call because Bru was already awake. This was after several text messages about extravagance and feelings of insecurity to wanting my opinion. Gosh. As if it matters. It's Friday...
I had a really packed wednesday. Lunch was at Hyatt. We were served with Angus beef but didn't have much of an appetite so I just tried a slice of the Prime Rib Eye so as not to disappoint the chef and the PR manager. I loved the mashed pumpkin, though. And the potatoes. And the asparagus. And the dessert was good. It...
This is written the morning after another drunken night. Yes, I have been drinking for two nights straight. It's a guy thing, I know. But what else is there? I don't do drugs and certainly won't try them. maybe valium? It's really sad trying to keep a straight face amidst the chaos going through inside me. I wish I knew what this pain...

Currently analyzing the complicated...figuring out the unpredictable...and struggling. But still making time...which makes me utterly sad and undeniably stupid. That was me until today...now i'm just "in repair" i've been through this. Make me hate. It's against my nature but it might help. what did i do to deserve this? is it because i was too understanding? did i make you feel i...
“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...
I have been looking for you. I have reasons to look for you... my life's leaps of faith and moments of happiness (that i can look back to) come from you. Have I met you? I'm in the office now. Good thing we can blog. I am trying to work but to no avail. I might have been here before. Or this can...
Okay. This is not the first time I was asked this question. But then it still is difficult to answer. I tried my best to translate into words why i think, feel, or believe (i don't even know the right verb for it) are the bases of how I was able to conclude, realize or admit that I do love you. Somewhere between...

I froze while everyone continues to move. And no matter how many people try to offer their consolation, I know that I have to get through this alone. And let time take its course.

It's been quite some time again. I'm sorry. It's just that I've been very busy. Busy with work. Busy with getting lost. Busy with finding my way back into my world. You are strange.

Naiirita ako sa kapatid kong bunso. Lahat na lang ng gusto nakukuha na walang appropriate na hirap at pagod. He just threatens everyone’s insanity by acting like a psychopath just so he will be given what he wants. Punyeta talaga.

On our way to Cavite, I realized how different I was now than when the time I was just trying to recover from the breakup. Then, i would readily ride on a bike on EDSA and not care about death. But now, I really would rather ride on a four-wheeler. What I'm saying is I love my life now. I may not have...

I may be the only girl na gabi-gabi ay may kasamang superhero, alternately pa. Nakabalot sa katawan, minsan nilalapatan ng ulo. Si "superman" at si "spider man" pa o ha. Isang alien from outer space at isang freak of nature, nevertheless, good looking superheroes. Ano ba? Kumot ko sila. Memories of Baguio with a fallen super hero. Ngayon na mainit, ginagawa kong pangdagdag...
The most interesting thing about heart transplants is that one completely loses his own heart & be replaced with someone else's yet still has the feelings for the same person he loves. This proves that love works in the minds of people & not in their hearts. Bottom line is, love is a state of mind. You'll learn how to forget only if...
nanood ako ng 300. my gaaash! Nation of beautiful people. It was my first time to actually watch battle scenes na ang napapansin ko ay yung mga flexing muscles.

I am depressed kasi:1. I am really tired. or more appropriately uninspired of going to the office.2. I hurt the feelings of someone really dear to me who is one of the very few reasons i am still working where i am working.3. I dislike the fact that I am 27 and have pimples on my face. Ugh! And this..mmm....person *aaaarrrgh!* made me...
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.There is nothing...
