I wanted to go to the Alumni Homecoming. But it fell on the same day of RJ and Vanessa's wedding. The highight of the evening was when PJ introduced me to Marc.Okay. So it wasn't the first time I met him. I actually chatted with him during a C2 event at Eastwood City. But this time, I got to shake his hand (duh) and I was "formally" introduced as a "fan." Okay. It wasn't that bad BUT i didn't want to be introduced anyway. and not as a fan. just my name or that i'm a friend of this and this.
moving on ( i seem to be doing a lot of moving ons these days)...
went to agave with bente and pj. and then pankoy or "sir" as i still call him, followed. we shared two pitchers of margaritas. we had turns talking about stuff before sir arrived but when he did, we got stuck to "navel, big buckles, and nice leather boots" hahaha it was so amusing.
i can't still understand why marc and his ex broke up, though.

Yesterday, I helped made a friend's dream come true. Frankly, it was just a simple dream. She wanted to see ADB and have lunch inside. And so I had to muster a little courage to call a friend I haven't seen in..hmmm...roughly 5 years who works there.
We were supposed to eat there last thursday but had to move it (but I got to eat at Antonio's last thursday instead). So anyway, inside ADB is a nice cafeteria and an executive dining area. I liked the cafeteria better. And the food were reasonably priced. I mean the jello was just P9.00! And they served sugarless dessert. How cool is that!
I am crying now but not because of ADB but because of "My Giant." I know it's stupid and corny..."but we will always have the sunset..." And my brother is laughing at me and at the same time trying not to cry.

I was opening new tabs when an article on Yahoo! got my attention. It was about a music video that will not be played on MTV for reasons that do not include violence and sex. And so I just had to check it out...
To quote:
"That's because of its strobe effects, which caused the clip to fail the Harding Test -- guidelines established to prevent TV images from triggering epileptic seizures."
I did not know that there was such a thing. I remember during the 80s and when MTV was just starting, I wouldn't watch it. I thought the images were not within my comfort zone. I was quite young then, naturally. But when I was in my senior year in college, we stayed on this channel most of the time specially during thesis time. I don't know if I have grown accustomed to it (proof that liking something can be taught/learned) or was it some some sort of mind programming?
Anyway, we learn something new everyday.

CHRISTIAN WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS ...
An Angel says, "Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice."
1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and un clutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety . If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19 Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try to pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you Jesus."
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33 Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36 ... Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.
