Ang taong pinaglalaban ang tama, may paninindigan. Ang taong pinaglalaban ang mali? Mapride lang. Ugali ng karamihan magmatigas kahit alam nating nakatirik ang punto natin sa mali? Masyado tayong takot tumanggap ng pagkakamali dahil natatakot mahusgahan. Pero sa process ng pagprotekta natin sa sarili nating pride, kadalasan, ang mga relationship natin ang nalalagay sa alanganin. Nanjan ang pagmamatigas ng mga anak sa magulang kahit alam nilang tama ang pinapagawa sa kanila, at ganun din ang magulang na hindi tumatanggap ng pagkakamali nila sa anak nila. Meron ding mga magkakaibigan na nagkatampuhan at nagpapatatagan dahil masyadong mataas ang pader ng pride nila para makapunta ang "sorry" sa kabilang bakuran. At syempre anjan ang mga "in a relationship", "engaged", at "married" na nagiging "its complicated" dahil pinipiling maging patience kesa maging humble... Patience sa pag-aantay na magsorry yung isa at hindi kayang maging humble sa pagtanggap ng pagkakamali. Alam mo naman kung nagiging defensive ka na lang, at wala namang nakakahiya sa pagtanggap ng pagkakamali at pagsosorry, dahil matatalinong tao lang ang kayang maka-realize na mali sila habang galit. Kung yung papel nga sa siopao na nakalimutan mong tanggalin, kinakaya mong lunukin, dahil nanghihinayang ka sa kapirasong siopao na iluluwa mo. Baket hirap na hirap kang lunukin ang pride mo kung mas importante sa kapirasong siopao ang mawawala sayo? Mas madali bang lunukin ang papel kesa sa pride? Ganito na lang... Kung alam mo nang mali ka at hindi mo kayang lumunok ng isang buong manila paper, wag ka nang papalag.

Tree and Me
Last 28 September, I’ve got the chance to attend the Interprofessionalism Training conducted by the Human Resource Department of our company. My Client Manager nominated me to attend the said training. Honestly, at first I was very hesitant to join as I find this kind of training very boring. But, when Marco (Officemate and Friend) told me that it is not boring as what I think, I’ve changed my mind and got really excited.
Let me share you one of the activities that we did during the subject. Ms Ava (Our Trainor) told us to make a Life Tree; each part of the tree signifies something in our life.
Then a big callout bubbled in my head “Bakit Puno?, ang chaka naman, Pede naman House, Life House, Ganun!”
The tree of life made me aware of the power of my roots and helped me identify the people that have made me the person I am now. It brought gratitude to my family and all the people that have encouraged me to hold on to my hopes and dreams, and made me realize that I am out of the ordinary. It made me happy because I had a chance to remember the good times and memories I had in the past, particularly in my school days, all the songs and my school friends, and to celebrate the things in my life, look back and appreciate life.
In the process, I began to recognize my skills and gifts, things that make me special such as being good listener, “Problem Solver” kind and always putting other people before me. It has given me the passion to achieve my dreams.
Verdict: I Enjoyed the Learning Process.

Then a big callout bubbled in my head “Bakit Puno?, ang chaka naman, Pede naman House, Life House, Ganun!”Trees are going through the same hurdles as human being, so if the trees can go through that and be able to live another day, and don’t fall, then even me as a human being can do the same, cause we are all created by God.
Actually, it was so difficult for me at first to put anything down on the paper, as I didn’t find any thing noteworthy in my life that I wanted to share with the people. And, I think in my life I have constantly wanted to hide the past and not think about it because it unlock the bad memories that I have had. But when my seatmates were starting to draw, to share their stories, I realized that in my past and in my upbringing I have been fortunate to have the people that have influenced me and strengthened my roots.

Assisted by a small army of minions, Gru plans the biggest heist in the history of the world: to steal the moon. With an arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way, until the day he encounters three little willful orphaned girls see in him something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad. Funny, clever, warmly animated with memorable characters, the movie says no heart is hard enough for innocence to touch.
I so love this film, especially the Minions. they are hilariously funny and cute little thing as well!

CXVI---Paraphrase
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
-----------------------------------------------------
Let me not declare any reasons why two
True-minded people should not be married. Love is not love
Which changes when it finds a change in circumstances,
Or bends from its firm stand even when a lover is unfaithful:
Oh no! it is a lighthouse
That sees storms but it never shaken;
Love is the guiding north star to every lost ship,
Whose value cannot be calculated, although its altitude can be measured.
Love is not at the mercy of Time, though physical beauty
Comes within the compass of his sickle.
Love does not alter with hours and weeks,
But, rather, it endures until the last day of life.
If I am proved wrong about these thoughts on love
Then I recant all that I have written, and no man has ever [truly] loved.

Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 is about love in its most ideal form. It is praising the glories of lovers who have come to each other freely, and enter into a relationship based on trust and understanding. The first four lines reveal the poet's pleasure in love that is constant and strong, and will not "alter when it alteration finds." The following lines proclaim that true love is indeed an "ever-fix'd mark" which will survive any crisis. In lines 7-8, the poet claims that we may be able to measure love to some degree, but this does not mean we fully understand it. Love's actual worth cannot be known – it remains a mystery. The remaining lines of the third quatrain (9-12), reaffirm the perfect nature of love that is unshakeable throughout time and remains so "ev'n to the edge of doom", or death.
In the final couplet, the poet declares that, if he is mistaken about the constant, unmovable nature of perfect love, then he must take back all his writings on love, truth, and faith. Moreover, he adds that, if he has in fact judged love inappropriately, no man has ever really loved, in the ideal sense that the poet professes. *Wikipedia
Just finished watching Sense and Sensibility (Based on the Novel by Jane Austen). One of the character in that movie mentioned a part of that Sonnet and it made me think! Love, Love!
Decaf
Sa kagustuhan kong hindi antukin at makatulog, kanina ay nagtimpla ako ng kape, yung kadalasang timpla ko. Mas marami ang kape at konti ang asukal. Pagkatapos nag-CR lang ako sandali kasi galit na galit na pala ang pantog ko sa dami ng lamang maalat na likido. Pagkatapos kong pagbigyan si Inang Kalikasan, nakita ko si Mama na tinitikman ang tinimpla kong kape, medyo nagulat pa nga siya nung bigla akong nagsalita mula sa kanyang likuran ng “Mama, akin yan!”, sabay sabing “O ayan na,hindi ko din naman gusto”. Madalas sabihin ni mama sa akin na abnormal daw ako kasi wala na nga daw katamis-tamis ang kape ko, ang tigas pa ng lasa, kaya daw tuloy hindi na nga ako sweet ay masungit pa. Alam kong nagbibiro lang siya, at sanay na kong sinasabi ni mama sa akin ang mga iyon, kaso parang iba ang dating sa akin ng simpleng biro na iyon ngayon. Pagbalik ko sa harapan ng monitor ng PC ko at pinagpatuloy ang pag-iinternet, hindi mawala sa isip ko ang binitiwang salita ni mama. Naisip ko diba Mother Knows Best, hindi kaya sa kabila ng birong tinuran niya, totoo nga na masungit ako at hindi sweet. Nakakatuwa na sa simpleng kape niya naihambing ang ugali ko. Bakit hindi sa Frappé para medyo sosyal naman, o sa gatas para healthy diba. Habang sinisimsim ko ang lasa ng kapeng naging dahilan para malunod ako sa malalim na pag-iisip, nanuot sa akin ang pait ng lasa nya. Bitter din ba ako, gaya ng kape ko? Ako ba yung tipong mararamdaman mo ang pagkapait kasi makikita mo ang itim at luksa sa kulay ko. Naalala ko ang text message na natanggap ko dati, sabi dun “Its okay to be bitter, medicines usually taste bitter, but it makes you well” Koneksyon sa kape, Please! Kalokohan itong mga ideya na pumasok sa isip ko.
Higop sa mainit na kape, natauhan kasi napaso. Ngayon sagutin nyo ko, HOT din ba ko? ü

Survivor Ako!
Survivor Philippines
Survivor Philippines is a top-rating reality game show produced by Castaway Television Productions, Ltd. and GMA Network Inc.'s News and Public Affairs Department aired over GMA Network.
After its successful run of two seasons; consecutively held in Koh Tarutao, Thailand and Palau, Micronesia the show is now on its third season, titled Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown.
Survivor Philippines is largely based on the international franchise of Survivor produced in more than 50 territories around the world.
The format for Survivor was created in 1992 by British television producer Charlie Parsons. It is considered as the pioneer for making reality television a popular television genre.
Format
With cameras following their every move, the contestants called castaways are sent in the wilderness, usually in an island or forest setting. They would try to survive daily living without the bare necessities and compete with each other for almost 40 days for cash and other prizes.
The castaways are initially grouped into teams or tribes that go against each other during reward and immunity challenges set within every three days. These challenges are mostly physical, mental and endurance activities.
The reward challenges won by the tribe or an individual castaway entail prizes like food, fire, a video message from loved ones or simple luxuries like shower or a trip to a local tourist destination. The prize for winning immunity challenges, on the other hand, is “immunity” from the tribal council or protection from being voted off the island and from the game.
Through progressive elimination, the castaways are to vote off other tribe members until the final set of contestants remain.
The members of the jury or the castaways voted off during the merging of the tribes choose who wins the title of “Sole Survivor” and the cash prize that goes along with it.
For Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown, 18 famous personalities or celebrities are selected through screening to join the contest.
The will try to outplay, outwit and outlast each other as they brave the elements.
Adjusting to their new lifestyle, their goal is to win over their fellow celebrities to become the first Sole Celebrity Survivor. The winner will receive the cash prize of 3 million pesos.
Personal Favorite Castaway
Hmmm... Karen delos Reyes, I dont know if she has the “Sole Survivor” material, but when it comes to “totoong-tao” attitude, grabe nasa kanya na lahat! I so love this show!

Closet
Why do Bekis Hide and Act Straight?
Do you have a gay guy friend hiding in his closet. I mean living in lies, making people believe, even his own family, that he is straight. In our society today, I can say we all (if not, well most of us) do have!
There are several types of gays. Some gays dress like women and flaunt it and some are almost clown-like and enjoy showing people what they are, but, mostly there are many gays that look straight and aren't acting at all. Gays aren't "fairy-like" or "feminine" always (e.g. famous sports figures, actors, famous people are gay and you'd never know it). Gays don't have pink horns glued out of their heads or a post-it attached in their forehead saying “Hello World, I am Gay”!
As I browse the Internet, One very good explanation is "lack of knowledge in society on the subject of gays." Another reason is society as a whole is uneasy about gays to this day although things are getting a little better.
Logically: Why do criminal's wear masks? Why do spies go by alias? Why do guys not tell their wife they're in love with another woman? The answer to all of these questions is simple. Because they don't want to have problem in dealing with the consequence of being themselves.
I'm sick of hearing people say "Just be yourself because trying to be something you're not is hell, it's just stupid...blah…blah" What's stupid is that mindset of individuals that can't understand what gay is.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes for a second. For some of us it's a little harder than it is for others to come out of the closet. From the moment we're born were assumed to be heterosexual. To act what the society expects us to act. You don't hear parents say "I hope he's not straight, I hate basketball and boxing and having all those girls in the house would be so embarrassing."
A friend once confide to me that He have to act straight to survive. Like many other gay guys, he would be kicked out of their house if he ever came out.
Many others just don't want to come out in fear of losing friendships, or trust or (sadly enough) jobs or many other benefits they have from pretending to be straight.
Lets admit that not all of us have the opportunity to come out!
I have to say that gay people act straight to avoid pressure from their peers. If they feel that they have to fit in, they have to act different to how they naturally would.. in my opinion, i believe that people should be themselves, despite what others think of it. If they don't like it, they'll get over it. Being gay is not a crime, a punishable misdeed that will result to suffering.
Well, I am gay,. And so proud to be one!

A Life Worth Living
It was Emil's birthday when I finally see again my College Bitches/Bestfriends. And as what I've expected, everyone were in their pasabog mood for that night. Its good to have friends like them. Makes my life worth living!
Positivity
I worried a lot, I stressed a lot, I kept a lot battle within. But what I learned is that, when you find the knowledge too see positive in every negative, as difficult as it may be, things begin to change. Because it is literally how we think that matters a lot. I learn to make pivotal moment, a moment of truth in every situation. But when you are in the midst of the pain or something that you've lost, or an inside longing, or whatever. You've got to find the positive in it, and focus on it! Even if you know whats causing you the pain, basically you know what you don't want, and if you know what you don't want, that helps you know what you do want the most, and if you know what you do want, you can focus on it.
Everything will be fine!
Everything will be fine!

I-S-O-Y
Aking inalam ang mga dahilan ng ibat-ibang tao kung bakit sila naninigarilyo, at base sa impormasyong aking nakalap ang mga sumusunod ang nangungunang dahilan:
Ang pagyoyosi o ang pagpapanggap magyosi ay hindi lang dulot ng peer pressure (o beer pressure) ito ay malupit na susi para magkaroon ang isang tao ng malalim na excuse para tumambay, tumingin sa kawalan at huminga ng malalim!!!
YOSI... is the most affordable COMFORT COMMODITY in the market. Tumaas ng P0.50 ang ilang yosi... pero pinakamura pa rin sya.
I smoke when I am thinking thoroughly
I smoke when I am under pressure
I smoke when I am stressed
I smoke before, during and after a heavy work
I smoke when I have to do something quickly
I smoke to boost my energy
I smoke to toughen myself
I smoke when I feel anxious
I smoke when I feel shy in front of others
I smoke when I feel lonely
I smoke when I am frustrated
I smoke when i am mad
I smoke to let my feelings out
I smoke when I am reflecting
I smoke to relax
I smoke to accompany fellow smokers
I smoke more than the usual when I am drunk
I smoke whenever I want to imagine I am a dragon breathing fire
its just between me and the yosi..
Naging close kami nung college crush ko dahil sa pagyoyosi
Nagyosi ako sa corridor ng skul at nagkaroon ng memo dahil sa pagyoyosi
Naging okay kami ng titser pa ako nun dahil sa pagyoyosi
Nahuli ako ng MMDA na nagtapon ng cigarette butt sa may Edsa Shangrila dahil sa pagyoyosi. Pinadalhan ako ng sulat sa bahay at may RA violation chorva daw ako dahil sa pagyoyosi. Papasakan daw ng sigarilyo ng kapatid ko ang lahat ng butas sa katawan ko dahil sa pagyoyosi. Ipinangako kong hindi ko ititigil ang paninigarilyo dahil yun lang pala ang magiging daan para pansinin ako ng pamilya ko
Nilapitan ako ng first boyfriend ko para manghiram ng lighter dahil sa pagyoyosi
Minsan may nakilala, syempre pa dahil sa pagyoyosi
Kwento-kwento.. papansin lang… dahil sa pagyoyosi
Nagkaroon ng dahilan para mas lalong magpapansin at iyon ay dahil sa pagyoyosi
Kaloka.. O tara Yosi Break Muna!

Nagkaroon ng dahilan para mas lalong magpapansin at iyon ay dahil sa pagyoyosi
Kaloka.. O tara Yosi Break Muna!
Dilemma
In most relationships, the time to say goodbye usually arrives at one point or another, (especially when it comes to same gender relationships) with your “ex”, you've collected memoirs that will either make you laugh or cry, and it's time to take your experiences, put them in your back pocket and move on. But somewhere on the road of parting ways couples feel the need to promise to stay friends -- which ultimately leads to more broken promises.Even though it would make things a lot easier in the dating world, relationships rarely see mutual breakup. One person is usually the heartbreaker, while the other mulls over the breakup for weeks, even months. It's never easy to break up with someone you've shared good times with (and even if they were bad times, they were still times).
But the person who does the breaking up feels like less of a bad guy by offering that sense of truce: the infamous line “It's not you, it's me. We can still be friends.”. This peace offering of friendship provides the dumper with the solace of knowing they aren't such a horrible person because they still want to be friends with their ex.
Not only does it give the dumper the relieve of knowing they are not monsters, but by wanting to remain friends, it also allows the dumper to feel that their former lover will still be in their life, and they won't have to miss having them around.
So now the dumper can move on with their life with ease, and with the enjoyment of having coffee with their former mate every so often. The person who got dumped, however, has the pleasure of being constantly reminded of the person who ripped out their heart when they receive friendly messages and e-mail.
So, can you ever be friends with your ex? Does it have to be all-or-nothing?
Let me share you this:
Some of you are able to go back from being in love with someone to being friends with them.
I find it amazing.
I applaud you if you can do that.
It must take so much work, but if you just hang in there, forget all the harsh words you said during the break up, you might just go back to being really good friends.
Buuuuuuullll-fucking-shit!
At least for me. Where does the love go?
All the dinner dates, calling each other beautiful, being inside of each other, promises, all the unfinished business.
How do you back from love to hate and then back to friends?
You’ve licked every inch of my body.
I’ve tasted your tongue for hours on end.
We said our “I love you”s. Where does the love go? Or was it not love?
How can we suddenly be friends?
To be present at your birthday party with your new boyfriend next to you.
To visit our favorite restaurant and ordering the dish we used to share.
To watch a movie next to my friend, someone who used to swallow my cum.
No, thanks.
I think we’re better off as…what we were before we met.
I just can’t be friends with my ex.
It really depends on a person…. I think!

Breakfast
I enjoyed the breakfast with Team Jhonald and John held at Dampa Parañaque, yesterday (31 July 2010).
Actually Restday ko nung ginanap ang Group hang-out na ito. Pero dahil malapit lang sa amin ang Dampa, super Go naman ako. (Take note, galing akong Merville at nag overnight sa house ng friend ko) I so love seafoods kasi at ilang araw na din akong nagkecrave sa Baked Tahong Yum-Yum.
Pagdating na pagdating ko sa Venue pinakanta ako agad sa Videoke at gaya ng inaasahan kinanta ko na naman ang national anthem at walang kamatayang kanta ng buhay ko na “Shower Me with Your Love” ewan ko ba, Applauded at kulang na lang mag Standing O and audience (chos, ambisyosa). I so love to sing that song, siguro nga at the back of my mind eh longing pa din akong may mag shower sakin ng over pouring love. (May Kilala ka ba? LoL). Daming pagkain, at long table mode ang drama namin sa pinareserve na resto (sosyal). Andami pang natirang Food at iniuwi ni Pareng Daffy (special mention talaga siya sa Blog ko).
After kumain, Kantahan ulit na tumagal lang ng Dalawang kanta, lahat ay nainis sa dysfunctional na microphone, na pati mismo si kuyang may-ari ay sinukuang gawin! Bwisit, panira ng event. Kaya nagkayayaan ng umuwi at wititit na ang Pagnomo.Damage to my Wallet (sabi nga ni Joar)—very minimal!
P.S.
I will definitely miss working with this team. Saya, adopted lang kasi ako sa team na ito at hindi naman ako nahirapang pakisamahan silang lahat.
Next rotation ibang team naman uli. Team ng mga “BEKIMON” where I truly belong! Tama? Loves it!

Its my B-Day!
Looking back, I have a few things that I am thankful for:
• I was in a relationship which lasted for 3 months (wtf), dami ko natutunan at una talaga ito sa list!;
• I got to know who my real friends are, I have only few, but I am sure that they are true;
• I have surrendered myself to a higher being (but not consistently going to church every Sunday);
• I realized that I can do so much more if I just stop worrying about so many things;
• I learned the value of money (tipidity);
• The value of my family;
• Know what my priorities are;
• Learned how to say No!;
• Started my own Blog and Rant;
• My new work, and new officemates to bond with;
• New hobby (watching good films);
• Read more books;
• Read something in the Wikipedia (kaloka!);
• Life is not easy but I have enough strength to deal with it;
• Learned to be more mature in so many ways;
• Etc… too many to mention pala
So, I am now 25…. Pak!

CineMan Presents—Pride & Prejudice
Main Cast:
Keira Knightley—Elizabeth Bennet
Matthew Macfadyen—Mr. Darcy
The story is based on Jane Austen's novel about five Bennet sisters - the beautiful Jane, the clever Elizabeth, the bookish Mary, the immature Kitty and the wild Lydia. - in Georgian England. All of them have been raised by their mother with one purpose in life: finding a husband. It is a humorous story of love and life among English gentility during the Georgian era. Mr. Bennet is an English gentleman living in Hartfordshire with his overbearing wife. Unfortunately for the Bennets, if Mr. Bennet dies their house will be inherited by a distant cousin whom they have never met, so the family's future happiness and security is dependent on the daughters making good marriages. Life is uneventful until the arrival in the neighbourhood of the rich gentleman Mr. Bingley, who rents a large house so he can spend the summer in the country. Mr. Bingley brings with him his sister and the dashing (and richer) but proud Mr. Darcy. Love is soon in the air for one of the Bennet sisters, while another may have jumped to a hasty prejudgment. For the Bennet sisters many trials and tribulations stand between them and their happiness, including class, gossip and scandal.
I find this movie truthful.
We are often judge someone because of what other people saying about them. And, we usually hide what we really feel because of our foolish pride.
It is true that the carefully controlled and chess-like movements of polite society often conceal passionate hearts, keen minds, and rebellious wills. But high-spirited Elizabeth Bennet attempts to stay true to her ideals while her meddlesome mother schemes to get all five Bennet sisters married and to secure their family's fate at all costs. She refuses to abandon her independent and had scrutinizing ways to find true love and a faithful heart.
Pride and Prejudice is a wonderful movie. I love it because it is light, ironic, and straightforward. It will be popular always (because of the book), it is not just a love story, and it is full of criticism of the society and people who only play before each other and judge by appearances.
So I guess “Sometimes the last person on earth you want to be with is the one person you can’t be without.”

Bury
It was in the office, during miracle time that I was Idle, when I drowned in a deep state of contemplating. Hearing the sounds of keyboards, printers and paper shredders, the momentary chikahan while everyone working and trying to reach their deadlines.
You can see me in my area, in a corner were I found solace next to home, quiet, reserved on my spot, alone, I was reading this quotation that says…
“It hurts to breathe because every breath I take proves I can't live without you. To fall in love is awfully simple, but to fall out of love is simply awful. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears. The greatest pain that comes from love is loving someone you can never have. Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never knew. The stupidest mistake in life is thinking the one who hurt you the most, won't hurt you again. The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost. Love is unconditional, relationships are not. For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, It might have been.”
I wonder, Why is it hard for me to forget and move on with my life? Is it because I'm hopeless romantic? Is it because I am TRULY IN LOVE WITH TRUE LOVE. That I will do anything to be with the person I love. Is it because I'm emotional? That I believe in fairy tales, in happy endings…Darn for this sentimental dreamer attitude. I'm a guy for crying out loud! There were no days that passed that I never thought of that ghost... Why do can't I forget him? That memoirs will be like just a cigarette smoke, you will take in, after a moment, you will take out… We've only been together for just 3 freaking months! Is it the Sex? Is it because he was the one that I wanted? Or is it because that I was just really in love with him... I keep telling myself that this will pass, this is just part of life… But it's been couple of months already and his face still lingers in my mind... I tried to think of the things that I didn't like about him: He had a weird way of looking at things, doesn't believe in God and His works, a person with bad attitude and personality... But why can't I forget about him?!? I have a busy and decent job in a BPO company, , a very, very busy task, but still... Why can't I forget about him?!? I'm so fucked up! I keep on telling my friends that I am okay, making myself believe that I am, but honestly I am not, I am still broken inside…..
Its really crazy to figure why it turn out like that. As they say, things happen for a reason. I may not understand it right now but as time goes by, I know, I am going to find out why...Me, myself, I felt so empty. I don’t know how to start my life again without him because every time I tried to forget him, I just end up missing him. I just let my heart get tired maybe that’s the first thing to do. and that is what I am doing right now—wait till my heart give up.
A confidant once told me that “You fell in love friend, control it again and who knows, you might get luckier the next time around, It is okay to never forget these things, because they are a part of the element of who you are. they are slice of the puzzle that make up your story, and throwing away any of those pieces altogether would take away the magnificence of the final picture. one day, this list won't be as unsullied in your mind, and won't sting as badly when you think about each thing.”
Basically the only thing I'm doing is, “avoiding” contact with the person, putting memories into a box and just seeing any places that we ever went to as "just a place". And now the only thing I have left to do is...pretend the pillow I am hugging every night is nothing BUT a pillow I hug to keep me warm... Restraining memories isn't a fun thing to do. We probably just do it because we believe it'll remove the "hurt" we feel after we've broken up.
“In my opinion, I like to carry the pieces of loves past with me inside as a memento of who I was at that point in time, and all of the ways that I’ve changed since then. while I hope to find the comfort that time brings, know that I do still understand how badly it hurts. I still have trouble forgetting the way that certain past loves made me feel, but then I ask myself: why forget? keep it as a part of me, but don't let that be a hindrance from moving forward.”
“Maaring nasa purgatoryo pa ang Ghost na yun, hindi na ko makapaghintay na kunin na siya ng liwanag at tuluyang makatawid sa dako pa roon.”
---- Blink, Blink, nagising ako sa malalim na pag iisip dahil sa kulay orange na kumukuti-kutitaptitap sa Task Bar ng monitor ko, Si boss pala at may Job na ako….
You can see me in my area, in a corner were I found solace next to home, quiet, reserved on my spot, alone, I was reading this quotation that says…
“It hurts to breathe because every breath I take proves I can't live without you. To fall in love is awfully simple, but to fall out of love is simply awful.

Love is unconditional, relationships are not. For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, It might have been.”
Then memories attack me… like a defenseless child… accepting all the attack and cannot hit back!
I wonder, Why is it hard for me to forget and move on with my life? Is it because I'm hopeless romantic? Is it because I am TRULY IN LOVE WITH TRUE LOVE. That I will do anything to be with the person I love. Is it because I'm emotional? That I believe in fairy tales, in happy endings…Darn for this sentimental dreamer attitude.

I keep on telling my friends that I am okay, making myself believe that I am, but honestly I am not, I am still broken inside…..No one really understand how does it felt... Apathetically saying unhelpful things. I cannot blame them!

I don’t know how to start my life again without him because every time I tried to forget him, I just end up missing him. I just let my heart get tired maybe that’s the first thing to do. and that is what I am doing right now—wait till my heart give up.
A confidant once told me that “You fell in love friend, control it again and who knows, you might get luckier the next time around, It is okay to never forget these things, because they are a part of the element of who you are. they are slice of the puzzle that make up your story, and throwing away any of those pieces altogether would take away the magnificence of the final picture. one day, this list won't be as unsullied in your mind, and won't sting as badly when you think about each thing.”
Basically the only thing I'm doing is, “avoiding” contact with the person, putting memories into a box and just seeing any places that we ever went to as "just a place". And now the only thing I have left to do is...pretend the pillow I am hugging every night is nothing BUT a pillow I hug to keep me warm... Restraining memories isn't a fun thing to do. We probably just do it because we believe it'll remove the "hurt" we feel after we've broken up. “In my opinion, I like to carry the pieces of loves past with me inside as a memento of who I was at that point in time, and all of the ways that I’ve changed since then. while I hope to find the comfort that time brings, know that I do still understand how badly it hurts. I still have trouble forgetting the way that certain past loves made me feel, but then I ask myself: why forget? keep it as a part of me, but don't let that be a hindrance from moving forward.”
“Maaring nasa purgatoryo pa ang Ghost na yun, hindi na ko makapaghintay na kunin na siya ng liwanag at tuluyang makatawid sa dako pa roon.”

Oo, cge na para sa ikakabuti ng buong team ang mga exercises na ito, mabuti sana kaso nakakabad trip lalo na sa mga Graveyard Shift na katulad ko ang mag-stay ng tatlo hanggang apat na oras sa office para lamang matapos ang 5 exercises at umabot sa itinakdang palugit, spell H-A-S-S-L-E, (we were instructed to do the exercises during our idle time, hello thats sooooooooo impossible, usually large volume of jobs are coming during our shift, Kaya tama: Idle is next to miracle!), isama mo pa na sa pag-uwi mo, nakasimagot na SUNshine Dizon ang sasalubong sau paglabas mo ng building... Nagkapatong-patong na init ng ulo ko... Grabe talaga!
Baka nga naman sa init, antok, puyat na din, gutom, at pagod ako nabwisit ng todo...
Pero sa ngayon “I Say No to Exercise” muna!
(mamaya lang iba na pananaw ko paggising ko, tulog lang talaga siguro ang hanap ko! LoL)

Restday Off
Usually during my restdays, gumigimik ako, lumalabas, hang-out with friends, paumagahan sa pag-inom at pagsasaya, nakagawain ko na yun, binatang-binata ang drama. May hang-over pa din kasi ng college attitude. Pero napansin ko habang tumatagal nag-iiba na, madalas mas gusto ko na nasa bahay na lang, mag movie marathon, mag-internet, magbasa ng libro, pakainin ng impormasyon ang utak ko....
Tumatanda na ba ako? Growing-up kumbaga, nakakasawa din pala kung paulit-ulit yung mga ginagawa mo, Yung tipong walang bago, iinom at magpapakalunod ka sa alak pag-alis mo, pag-uwi isusuka mo, at isusumpa mo ang lahat ng alak na nainom mo, hahaha
Mag-ipon ka! yan ang madalas ipaalala sa akin ng mga magulang ko, ngayon ko lang narerealize ang halaga ng mga paalala nila, naisip ko, yung mga nagastos ko sa every week na pag-alis at paggimik, kung inipon ko, malamang makapal na ang laman ng bulsa ko. Malamang sa OO nakapagtayo na ako ng sarili kong negosyo.
Hindi ko naman sinasabing peksman hindi na ko gigimik, iinom, at magsasaya kailanpaman. Ang natutunan ko lang, lahat ng sobra nakakasama, lahat ng umaapaw ay nasasayang.
May panahon pa naman!

Love is not always a fairytale
There are people who give so much love to those who don’t love them back
There are some who’s into mutual love but cannot own it because someone already holds the title
There are some people who feel so loved and find out in the end they are fooled
There are some who gave so much love but the others won’t believe because they always consider your past
There are some who received so much love but can’t seem to move on from the previous relationship or the others just want to play game and choose their playmate
Now which story is yours?
Mine, honestly, I dont Know!! But I am open for everyones opinion!
Maestro Bob Ong
Ilan sa mga kasabihan ng paborito kong Pinoy Awtor:
“kung wala kang alam sa buhay ng dalawang tao o kahit pa man may alam ka sa isa sa kanila, wala ka pa rin sa tamang lugar para lagyan ng kahulugan ang mga kilos nila”
“Pag pinag-aagawan ka, malamang maganda o gwapo ka. Sumama ka sa mabuti, di sa mabait. Sa marunong, di sa matalino. Sa mahal ka, di sa gusto ka.”
“Ang pag- ibig parang imburnal..nakakatakot mahulog, at kapag nahulog ka, it’s either by accident or talagang tanga ka.”
“Ang tenga kapag pinagdikit korteng puso.. Extension ng puso ang tenga kaya kapag marunong kang makinig, marunong kang magmahal”
“Alam mo ba kung gaano kalayo ang pagitan ng dalawang tao pag nagtalikuran na sila? kailangan mong libutin ang buong mundo para lang makaharap ulit ang taong tinalikuran mo.”
“Kung dalawa mahal mo, piliin mo ang pangalawa,kasi hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo na talaga ang una”
“mahirap pumapel sa buhay ng isang tao, lalo na kung hindi ikaw ang bida sa script na pinili niya”
“Kapag di ka mahal ng taong mahal mo, huwag kang magreklamo. Kasi, may mga tao rin na hindi mo mahal pero mahal ka kaya quits lang.”
“Parang elevator lang yan eh. bakit mo pagsisiksikan yung sarili mo kung wala ng pwesto para sayo, eh meron namang hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin.”
“hindi porke’t madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text ng wantusawa eh may gusto sayo at magkakatuluyan kayo, meron lang talagang taong sadyang friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall o paasa.”
“pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo na..malay mo sa mga susunod na araw, ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang”
“Kung hindi mo mahal ang isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka niya.”
“walang taong manhid…hindi niya lang talaga maintindihan kung ano ang gusto mong iparating dahil ayaw mo siyang diretsuhin..”
“kahit ikaw ay parang bato na manhid at walang pakiramamdam, mag ingat-ingat ka naman, dahil kahit ganyan ka, hindi nasasaktan, kaya mo namang makasakit”
“Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanansa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!”
“Kung matatakot kang harapin ang totoo at sabihin ang talagang nararamdaman dahil baka masaktan ka, isa lang ibig sabihin nun, ipinagkait mo na sa sarili mo ang pagiging masaya, at kinarir mo ng magpakatanga.”
“Pakawalan mo yung mga bagay na nakakasakit sayo kahit na pinasasaya ka nito, wag mong hintayin yung araw na sakit na lang nararamdaman mo at iniwan ka na ng kasiyahan mo.”
“Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang taong malapit sayo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo.”
“Ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ka dapat magmahal ng dalawang tao sa parehong panahon ay katulad ng kung bakit hindi ka pwede magsuot ng sapatos na hindi magkapares sa parehong oras.posible pero pangit tignan.”
“Minsan, para ka palang nagmahal ng pader. habang mas pinagdidiinan mong itulak ang sarili mo, mas nasasaktan ka. pero siya, ‘di pa rin natitinag.”
“kahit anong bagal mo kung di ka naman niya gustong habulin, hindi ka niya maaabutan.. kahit mag stop over ka pa.”
“Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa.”
“Ang tao, aminado naman yan sa mga kasalanan nila..pero kung lalo mo pang ipapamukha sa kanila na mali sila, lalo mo lang silang binibigyan ng dahilan para iwanan ka..”
“Kung ang tinapay nga na iniwan mo sa mesa may kumukuha, yun pa kayang mga bagay na mas mahalaga sa’yo?..wala nang nagtatagal sa panahong ito at kung may iiwan ka, siguraduhin mong hindi na iyon mahalaga..”
“Sa kolehiyo, madaming impluwensiya ang makikita, masama o mabuti man ito..wag isisi sa thesis partner o sa kaibigan ang lahat kung bakit nasira ang baga mo sa pagyoyosi, nasira ang atay mo sa kakainom at kung bakit nagkaroon ka agad ng pamilya..kung talagang matino kang tao, kahit sino pang tarantado ang kasama mo ay maitutuwid mo pa rin ang daanang tatahakin mo..”
“Hindi naman iiyak ang mundo para lang sa isang tao.”
I really love to read his Books (Kumpleto ako!), hindi lang dahil marami akong napupulot na aral at napapasaya ako ng kanyang mga akda, kundi dahil napapabilib ako ng kanyang istilo upang pukawin ang imahinasyon ng kanyang mga mambabasa. Kung paano nya nagagawang patutukin ang isang tao na tapusin sa isang upo ang kanyang mga akda.
Malalim ang pinagsamahan namin ng mga libro ni Bob Ong. Isa ito sa mga naging sandalan ko noong panahong pakiramdam ko mag-isa ako!

CineMan Presents—Notes on a Scandal
Main Cast:
Judy Dench—Barbra Covett
Cate Blanchett—Sheba Hart
Barbra Covett is a veteran and cynical schoolteacher who is close to retirement. She is barely tolerated by her less brilliant and acerbic colleagues who know nothing about her private life which consists mainly of taking care of Portia, her aging cat, and spending countless hours alone. The only means she has found to take the edge off her desperate loneliness is writing in her journal. When Sheba Hart, a younger, attractive woman, joins the faculty as an art teacher, Barbra watches her from afar and has nothing but caustic things to say in her diary about her clothing and her care-free manner. Despite her disdain for this woman, Barbra finds herself reaching out to her. Sheba responds by inviting her to dinner at her house to meet Sheba's lecturer husband, who is twenty years her senior, and their two children, a sexy and rebellious 16-year-old daughter and a younger boy with Down Syndrome. Instead of opening herself to these people, Barbra immediately sees them as competition to be beaten in the battle for Sheba's attention. Later, when Barbra discovers her new friend in a classroom having sex with Steven, a 15-year-old from the school who has artistic talent; she realizes that knowledge of this secret gives her power over Sheba which she can use for her own purposes. Barbra promises not tell anyone but insists that the affair must end immediately. Sheba says she will but finds herself drawn back to the boy again and again. Sheba seems uneasy with Barbra’s friendship and is appalled when she discovers the older woman might have a sexual interest in her. The tenuous relationship between the two women reaches a crisis point when Barbra’s cat is dying and she asks Sheba to go with her to the vet. She chooses to go with her family to see their son in a play instead. In revenge, Barbra sets in motion the scandal that will rock both their lives in ways they never imagined.
It is weird how I find this movie a very entertaining film.
Notes on a Scandal is so unusually enjoyable. Its amusement in its own heartlessness, the approach that the characters are form, shattered, and revived by something other than the common qualities of people, e.g. Barbra's overpowering hold and wants on Sheba, Sheba's bizarre need to her minor student. (sigh!) and Barbra’s cruel plot to get that something from Sheba the thing that she does not have.
Sad....How the toxicity of loneliness affects our way of thinking.
Barbra’s attraction for Sheba is more than sexual, and extremely distant from sentimental. Those momentary touches she steals from Sheba are evidence of her venerable sterility; her real love affair is with herself and her private diaries where she is ultimately the hero, the knight in shining armor of those trapped in the lifelessness of the modern world, where everything is augmented to appear bigger, greater and more important than what it really is. This movie has really nothing to say on the situation of homosexual affairs, negative or not. (That is my analysis!)
It is true that:
One woman’s secret is another woman’s power. One woman’s fear is another woman’s weapon. One woman’s life is in another woman’s hands.... Pak! Bravo!

Strength
Can I ask you something?
What is friendship? What is the meaning of this relationship?
To Aristotle—“A single soul, dwelling in two bodies”
To Psychologist—“A dynamic, mutual relationship between two individuals. As children become friends, they negotiate boundaries within which both partners function”
To the Sexually Oriented People—“FuBu = Fuc**ing Buddy” Friends with Benefits
To my Bestfriends—“God put us together to be siblings by heart”
To Me—.........
While browsing the Wikipedia I’ve read that there are different types of friendship (now ko lang nalaman na madami pala!) Listed below are the examples for your reference: LoL!
Best friend (or close friend): a person(s) with whom someone shares extremely strong interpersonal ties with as a friend
BFF (“Best Friend Forever”): Slang originally coined on the internet and used primarily in the USA by women to describe a girl friend or close best friend
Acquaintance: a friend, but sharing of emotional ties isn’t present. An example would be a coworker with whom you enjoy eating lunch or having coffee, but would not look to for emotional support
Mate: In the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, blokes often refer to each other as “mates”, for example, introducing a male friend as their “mate”, or a circle of male friends as 'mates'. In the UK, as well as Australia, this term has begun to be taken up by women as well as men
Bro: In the USA, common term for best friends among men, oftentimes in college or early adulthood
Buddy: In the USA, guys often refer to each other as “buddies”, for example, introducing a male friend as their “buddy”, or a circle of male friends as 'buddies'
Soulmate: the name given to someone who is considered the ultimate, true, and eternal half of the other’s soul, in which the two are now and forever meant to be together
Pen pal: people who have a relationship via postal correspondence. They may or may not have met each other in person and may share either love, friendship, or simply an acquaintance between each other
Internet friendship: a form of friendship or romance which takes place over the Internet
Fruit flies, Fag hag (female), or Fag stag (male): denotes a person (usually heterosexual) who forms deep ties or close friendships with gay men. Men (gay or straight) who have lesbian friends have been referred to lezbros or lesbros. The term has often been claimed by these straight members in gay-straight friendships, however some feel that it is derogatory
Comrade: means “ally”, “friend”, or “colleague” in a military or (usually) left-wing political connotation. This is the feeling of affinity that draws people together in time of war or when people have a mutual enemy or even a common goal. Friendship can be mistaken for comradeship
(Andami dba, Kaloka, Pak!)
Back to my Questions…..
We have often wanted answers for it, yet we have never come up with a satisfactory response. This is because this relationship is a mix of beautiful and complex way of thinking, which may not often be described in words. Defining a relationship is never easy, as there are plenty facets to it. However we don't need ample amount of words to make us realize the deep meaning of friendship.
“Being friends means being there for each other at all times, whether it’s good or bad. A friend needs to be very understanding and give each other the benefit of the doubt. Ideally the meaning of friendship is sharing unconditional love for each other. However this is not an ideal world; therefore some form of expectations are allowed, but that has a limit too. The purpose and meaning of friendship is to make life's burdens lighter for our friends and not make them heavier.”
Asking for the meaning of friendship has always been a burning question. However as soon as we meet our friends all these questions get answered automatically. The answer to what is the meaning of friendship lies within our hearts, because true friendship can only be felt, and not expressed. Something so pure and essential is not always visible to the eye, but is felt by the heart.
People like to have friends for different reasons. We have so many friends, (even I has!) but only few are true and will stick to you until the end!. The one who you can count on and make your life worth living. Your own source of STRENGTH.
I have My Bitches, My College Buddies, My Confidant....
How about you?

Devirginized Blogger!
To think and write my first blog has certainly been a weird experience. Like me-on-my-first-time-to-ride-an-airplane feeling. A whole new world of tweeting and blogging is opening up for me and I don't know if I am ready with the “Blogger Blues” that my friends are up to.
Questions popping to my mind
To the basics... What do people blog about? Fashion? Economy? Politics? Love? Ranting? Life experiences in general?
To the more paranoid queries... What if I blog and no one cares with what I have to say? (ouch!) What if I run out of interesting ideas to say on my blog? What if they write negative comments on my blog posts?..... Hay!
I love to read other peoples blog, my friends’ in particular, and I am really affected with what they wrote because it is like they are talking to me when in fact i am just reading their piece, their journey. One of my colleagues told me that to write is different from to put down in writing, to inform not just to form!
Yes, it is scary to tell your experiences and don’t know who are going to know about it. But Ive realized that it is not as bad as it sounds if you will gonna impart your life and let everyone learn and get something from your ordeals. Its not about how strong and lame your blog is, what important is you will leave a part of you to the readers.
If you feel something, share it. If you have ideas, then let everyone know it! Kudos.
So many things coming into my mind, but as of now, Taking so much into consideration, I can officially say that: BLOGGERO na ako!
