simbang gabi is here

simbang gabi has just started and i missed how it's like waking up around 3am and preparing for the dawn mass.this is my second year of missing simbang gabi because it's freaky going out early in the morning in a foreign place.i used to attend simbang gabi before i moved here in cebu and i've always completed the nine days.i've always been excited about simbang because i get to wear my cute hoodies(hehe),christmas mornings are different and most of all i love it when i get to complete the nine days because i can make a wish.i'm hoping i'd get to complete 9mornings next year.

i'm very,very,very happy because i could go home and spend christmas at home.even before my leave was approved,i already bought tickets just to make sure.my leave has been approved and i'll be home from 21dec to 31dec.i'm just waiting for my leave on 2jan-6jan to be approved so that i could stay there longer.

a dream is a wish ur heart makes

time flies really fast.a year ago,i was just one of the random kids hopefully waiting for my prince to come and sweep me off my feet.for every fallen eyelash,for every sneeze,for every candle that is lit,for every new church i've been to,for every new bridge i've crossed, everytime i've said the exact words at the same time someone says it,even with the solitaire game(hahaha), and everytime i blow the candle on my cake,i always include my future partner in my wishes.it happens when ur single and a hopeless romantic(hehe).u would be clouded with so many thoughts whether who that person is.it makes u wonder in so many ways whether u've met him already,a neighbor,a friend,an acquiantance,a college friend,a  chatmate or textmate,a childhood sweetheart,someone u haven't met yet,ur brother's friend/classmate,the son of your parent's friends,ur relative's officemates, someone from the other side of the world,a friend of a friend,the person u sit next to in the bus/boat etc...in my case,i really didn't think i'd end up with reggie until the day i dreamt of him.i dreamt that they went back here and found out that he likes me.that's it.that remained a dream to me and has to be proven because there was no basis for it.but i didn't really put too much effort when it crossed my mind.i don't wanna entertain the thought because i believed i was never his type.voila!!!love really finds its way.it's no longer a dream because i'm living with it.they said a dream is a wish ur heart makes.ahem...ahem...ahem...how come?when i really never thought he'd like me.or maybe i was just in denial that i silently admired him from afar.haha...ahem....well,oh,well...i have him now and that's all that matters.

yey!!!

i'm going home tonight.*excited* too bad there's no internet connection there.i still don't know when i'm coming back because my leave on 4nov is still pending.whatever!i'll just buy ticket for 3nov to avoid the rush.all my bags are packed,i'm ready to go.i only have 4hours left at work.woohoo!!!

i am sad

because of this:

 

Reese Witherspoon & Ryan Phillippe Split

i love them both.i sounded sooo affected when i told my friends about it.hehe.*sigh*sigh*sigh*

uuuy...interesting.

la lang...i just find it interesting that there are people from other places who checks my blog.hmmm.....

moving up

first it was mommy joyce then came daddy henry as trainers then robert followed as a sup,dax as a CSA,pete as a sup,anna as a sup,gemini as a team manager,bless as a sup,michelle as FD and now nadina as a sup...hmmmm....more and more people are moving up.the next thing i'll know,my whole team will be promoted.gosh!i came to think that i have two choices now,to move up or to resign(which i'm thinking of doing). and if i'll stay,i'll move to a diff department..haaay...it's just too early to tell.i'd better not spill the beans.

kapoy pa work

it was my first day of work from a 10-day break.it was supposed to be a 4-day leave only but i got sick.right after my short vaycay,i had fever the next day.on the third day,it felt like my bones are too brittle to move and it felt like my body is about to break and then coldness wrapped my tiny body.i was chilling that night right after i dropped off aden at the port.so i decided to see the doc the next day with the nonstop prodding of my bf that i should go and see the doctor.whew!!!i was still groggy in the morning so i slept and woke up around 5pm.i was about to get up and prepare to go the hospital when i saw my sis's status on YM as online.i called her on YM because i hated to chat that time,my fingers were freaking lazy to touch the keyboard.i went to chonghua hospital alone and off to the ER.i had my own lil bed then was told to lie down for the check-up.they started to ask me if i smoke or drink or if i'm expecting.hahaha...i admit i gained a lil weight from 37.5kls to 41.5kls but i'm not freaking pregnant.that would be another case of immaculate conception slash the second coming of Christ but i don't think i'd be chosen to be the mother.hahaha...back to where i left off...so there,it was not easy because i need to move around the building to pay the bill and go to the lab.even if i felt too frail to do those things and would prefer to just stay in the ER,i had to because i went there alone.i didn't have someone with me.i thought it would just be a lil check-up but the doctor required CBC and urinalysis.hmmm....

i waited for the result for 2hours and since there's no network connection inside the ER,i decided to go out to text people.laagan gayud bisan nasakit.i had wished i had my cam with me so i could still take pix.hehe...while waiting at the lobby,my friend krishna came then tie ning and sister bing were also there.(thank you,thank you for being there!!!)thank God everything went well.the doctor said it's an upper respiratory tract infection slash viral infection.kung sa binisaya pa,ubo-sipon-hilanat.so,there i had fever for 7days and needed to stay home and rest.thank God for the internet connection because it saved me from boredom.

a short vacay

guess asa mi niadto..

follow us...

tantananan......

it was perfect!it was indeed an alegre experience.we enjoyed our stay at alegre beach resort in sogod,northern part of cebu.it's a two-hour travel from the city.i'll let the pictures do the talking.(click on the image for a larger view)

might and maybe

the thought of resigning has been playing on my mind.the thought surprised me.it just crossed my mind and might welcome the idea..in january maybe.(ooops....before u ask me that,i would say i'm not going anywhere). mom also texted me to quit and find another job because she saw the tv patrol feature about call centers. i've been in this industry for almost two years now.that's overstaying because the normal lenght of stay in a call center is 6months.i guess it's time to move on.i need a break.hmmm... maybe the four day break will give me time to think things over and reevaluate myself.i know there are still areas i need to improve on.

 

have a happy weekend everyone!!!

they said i gained weight

Hmmmp…

it pays to wait

"hui nganong wa man kay uyab"

"istrikta man gud ka"

"standards,standards..wa nay ayo"

i've been told about these things many times and these are just few of the many statements.years ago,i have a long list of the things that i'm looking for in a man.i've been telling myself i can't have those qualities in just one person.that would be impossible and would require years of praying,petitions,novenas, a number of masses and offerings.haha...it came to a point when i had to let go of that checklist.i'm left with three of the most important qualities.first is,the guy should become my friend.because if he is,i would feel comfortable and there would be no pretensions. second,a family-man.i wanted him to be family-oriented because i am too.third,my family should like him because i don't wanna choose between my family and him.lil did i know that just when i've let go of all the other qualities,God is working on my relationship.i would say i've been praying for that person.my friend nadina used to joke about my 20pesos every sunday.whenever i leave home to hear mass,she would always tell me "nik,ang 20pesos para sa imong bana.dapat lang i-pray and halaran".i know it's funny but prayer works wonders.i'm not saying he's worth 20pesos but there's nothing impossible with prayers.He prepared someone for me who i believe has met all the qualities.i dunno but i've been looking at it in all angles and i believe it's him. God has been so great.God gave me someone beyond my expectation.he's more than what i asked for.i know it pays to wait.

hmmm..

years ago, i found myself sitting infront of my sister while she relates how her bf that time went all the way from manila to baguio just to woo her. it felt like she's part of a koreanovela. my eyes twinkled seeing her so kilig.i was at awe and felt hopeless thinking no one's gonna do that for me.lo and behold!reggie made it real for me.i was on cloud 9 when reggie told me he's coming to cebu.oh boy!he just made my day when he sent me a copy of his e-tkt.my officemates nadina and dax kept on singing "i will cross the ocean for you" right after i told them.hahaha...*kilig*kilig*i didn't expect he would do that.i know some pips wondered why he went all the way here and didn't go directly to our hometown.some asked why he has to go to cebu knowing that i'm also sched to go home for our town fiesta.i know many were surprised to see us together and wondered if it's really us.i know many raised their eyebrows and eager to find the answer.YES,it's US.

the countdown begins

While we were having bfast earlier,Debbie was saying that it’s four months to go and it’s December. She’s right it’s September 1,2006 today. then I said “oh my God!it’s BER,pasko na!pero malamig ang pasko.” our other housemate jaja having heard what I said reacted, “haha…as if wala ka naanad(as if ur not used to it).” she was right but it’s different now.*sob* hehe…hmmm…I can hear the bells ringing,the simbang gabi,gift-giving,food,caroling,xmas tree,parties and a lot more. christmas would always be my fave time of the year. cheers to a merry xmas in four months!

how it started

i've been wanting to write something about me and my bf but everytime i'm online and ready to pour out my emotions,i get disoriented.i can't even start a single sentence.i dunno how to start or what to say first.this has been sitting on my mailbox and i keep on editing the whole thing.whatever...

he's 24 and i'm 24.aquarius vs. taurus.i've known reggie since we were kids but we're not close.uhm...family friends.everyone knows everyone.our grandparents are neighbors.i was so lil then for me to remember how he was like when we were kids.i dunno if he was there when dad would tag me along to one of his saturday morning basketball games because our parents are basketball buddies.and i was always there with the other kids cheering for our dads. we're not classmates coz he went to school early.we were schoolmates in grade school but i only got to talk to him in high school.he was there eleven years ago during the isaiah play and the YFC too.just last month when i went home,we rummaged my old things and he found my diary.i immediately took it from him and found out that his name is always there in almost every page.haha...it's like we talked everyday.i remembered it so well during the first week of classes when we were under the shade of the talisay tree with titing(hs friend) and i was wearing a new dress and then they kept on teasing me and they started calling me "dalaga".he was always there during my runaway days.i remembered him inviting me on his bday but i didn't come.he's a basketball afficionado and was a member of my dad's bball team. i (with my sis)cheered for the basketball team just so we could join the team eating right after the game.haha.he stayed overnight and attended the wake of my granny.and was still there when dad passed away.i can still remember him bringing coffee and other stuffs.i remember the dimple,the megawatt smile and mr. chinito.the mr.nice guy in high school. he's someone i did't expect to like me.he's one of the farthest people in my mind that i could think of to like me.(who am i anyway?)he's someone who is always in the background.the tease.the bearer.the friend.the mailbox or should i say the postman?the messenger or whatever you call it.and then come fourth year,i only get to see him during basketball games and a simple "hi and bye" would do.then he left.the world is too small for us not to remember each other.after 4years,we started sending msgs through friendster.then the long emails followed,chat and it progressed to phone marathons.that started it.june 14,2006 was the day.

the stalking continues

 

part of my routine is to check my statcounter and there's something interesting about it.someone's checking my site,i thought she's/he's just one of the bloghoppers who chanced upon my site.her/his location is PALAU.wow i said to myself because it's a nice place as featured on TV.they have nice beaches there and it's one of my dream destinations.anyway,she's/he's consistently checking my site.hmmm...i can't remember if i have friends who lives there.plus she/he checks it from my friendster blog.how come?hmmm again...but i didn't care finding out who she/he is.i really didn't have any idea who that person is until this afternoon.i went online during my lunch to check my mails and friendster too.hehe...lo and behold!just when i viewed those who updated their profiles and added photos,something caught my attention.it's the word PALAU...hmmm..now i know who she is.i can't believe it that everything has been laid out infront of my very own eyes.thank God she found her way here.i'm not guilty.i will not take it back whatever i've said in the past....

 

**wink*wink**

too much has been said

while Lebanon is being bombed 24/7,there's also a word war going on here.thank you to those who defended me and who left comments.thanx to reggie,brat,jane,aden,cath,pintas,anonymous/one of my fans,my friends,and to those who've read my post and chose not to comment.

i'm good when you're good but i can be ur worst nightmare if u want me to.i can only think of two things why A.D. did this to me.that would be jealousy and envy. i've known her since grade school not because she's a head-turner,not because she tops her class,not because she is sosyal,not because she belongs to the alta sociedad but because we live in the same place and go to the same school where everyone knows everyone.it's just a "hi and bye" if i see her.i know she had petty quarrels in high school but who am i to judge her.i heard she's maldita but i didn't care because she was never mean to me.i know she would always be there for her friends and would really fight for them like how friends would do.she is the Ex's bestfriend as i said and i know she felt bad for her.she no longer leaves comments here but i know that she's been checking my site.

an open letter:

am,
u can never dictate someone what to do especially if it involves feelings.u cannot ask him to love her because his heart belongs to someone else.he's 24 and he's in his right state of mind to make decisions.and i very well know reggie would not settle for the second best.men would always go for the best.i just don't know if ur fighting for ur friend this time.or maybe ur also fighting for yourself.i tell you to move over because u don't have a chance here.i don't need reggie for me to have a greener pasture.i'm sooo not using him for me to go to the US of A.maybe that's the reason why ur running after him.why did u have to go to canada?i can stay in the philippines,be happy and enjoy the greener pasture.i don't have to look somewhere else for a greener pasture.i can eat more than 3times a day and anytime i feel hungry.i can watch movie anytime without waiting for someone to pay for my ticket.i can go on a quick vacation,pay my bills,go online anytime and i don't need to ask load from anyone,shop, and have fun.i have my family,my friends,my relatives and i have reggie too.that for me is the greenest pasture.i don't need to be a millionaire to be happy.i'd rather be happy and poor.but in reality,i'm afraid to be poor.but i'm more afraid to be sad.who would even want to be poor?is that hard to understand?i just wanted to have a comfortable life.i just wanted a simple life.i'm not sosyalera.why should i?i won't sweat it out to be one.i don't know how u define sosyalera.if u'll just use two of your brain cells,u would understand what i'm trying to tell you.i never really brag about my life but you are going way overboard.i would not humble myself and say sorry to you for all the things that has been said here.why should i?u deserve it.losers would always be losers.being in canada will not make u a god.if i were in ur place(which i wouldn't wish to be in),i would make it up by being a good person.too bad,u weren't there when God gifted us with manners,beauty and brains.double time working young lady,let me tell you that no matter how u work ur ass off in canada,u cannot buy beauty and good manners.it's something that should come from within.being beautiful is not really being pretty.if u have a good heart,you'll learn that happiness does not depend on greener pastures.you cannot take my tiara away from me.get a life!

***i dunno what's next after this.i just wanna put an end to what she started.too much has been said.

puh-leeeaaassse...

tsk...tsk...

*where do u wanna go now?

beach.bring my pink beach bag with my slippers,a fashion magazine, two-piece,cover-ups,shades,digicam,sunblock and other travel essentials.i wanna spread my sarong on the beachfront and enjoy the beautiful view.i needed to unwind.i just wanna feel the sand on my feet and enjoy the sun and the water.i've been checking the web for nice beaches.

spa.and a nice massage will do.

camp.i think it will be fun.and it has to be near a lake.

roadtrip.i wanna go to davao coz i've never been there.

*ultimate summer destination?

amanpulo resort.'nuff said.

*weekdays are spent for?

talk to reggie for hours through skype.going online is one of the things that makes me sane.hear mass on sunday.watch movie after mass.eat lechon.laundry.go to sto.niño on monday.another movie.dinner with friends.grocery.go to the mall.team outing.or a quick trip to dalaguet.my RD is on sun-mon.

*watch TV?

yes and no.the last time i watched tv was last monday.i had nothing to do that time because i promised reggie i'd wake him up at 1am.i enjoyed watching "america's top model" on studio 23 and i kept on saying "wow!there are a lot of new commercials" when in fact it's old.that is because i don't watch tv anymore.i know i've missed so many shows.i even got surprised about how bad the war in lebanon went.i never expected it's that serious.when i heard mass last month,there was this prayer for peace thingie and that's when i found out...haha... don't even say it.i know.thank God...i could still get updates online.i'm in-the-know now.


*what's the sexiest thing you've worn?

two-piece.

*do u love salt?

hmmm...why not sugar?hehe...yeah...salt for almost all types of fruits even ripe ones.

*what's one of the things that u had to let go?

the mosquito net.anyone close to me can attest to this.i can't sleep without it.it's more of a comfort zone.but sometimes we need to leave our comfort zones.i've had many tries before i finally got over it.i once placed it in a big plastic bag and put it on top of the cabinets.but i ended up waking up in the middle of the night,climb up and sleep with it on my feet.when i went to school in CDO,i had to cut a portion of it because it would be too bulky if i bring the whole thing. lil by lil,i easily got over it.i'm mosquito net-free now.hehe...

*movie u wanna watch this weekend:

correction,movies.click,just my luck and my super EX-girlfriend.

i'm tagging everyone...

CONGRATULATIONS!

GREAT JOB!!

doncha wish...

gotcha...

right after i published my post yesterday,i searched the web to check who anonymous is.
the mysterious person intrigued me with her comments:

special thanks to my friend cath for giving me a clue.*clap*clap*i have a statcounter on my blog that can trace the IP address.and anonymous accessed my blog from my friendster blog.she accessed my blog the same time the comment was posted on my site...it's exciting to find out who the culprit is.i dont want anyone to mess up with me.she may think i'm a neophyte in the cyberspace but definitely NOT.i kick ass in cyberspace.hehe...

screenshot from my statcounter:



screenshot from friendster:

i am 99% percent it's the same person.i know her since grade school.she happens to be my bf's classmate and the EX's best friend.'nuff said...

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

to whom it may concern

I recently got a comment on my prev post from anonymous.i tried to ignore it but people are asking me.my friend cath sent me a msg asking me who anonymous is.and she stated that it's kinda scary.my sister also said the same thing.i really don't know who he/she is.i have a strong feeling that he/she knows me so well.i got the comment right after i went home in time for our fiesta and the whole town knew that i was with my bf.a lot of people got surprised even my friends and his circle of friends too.  there was no objection from my family and his family.so,maybe anonymous saw us there and checked my friendster acct because we recently uploaded pictures there.and since i have a link to my blog,maybe he/she found his/her way here.he maybe one of those guys who was on my busted list.doncha wish ur gf was hot like me?hahaha...or could be his EX.with all confidence,i would say that i will never ever be insecure with her as my rival.plus he is now mine.so,move over.or maybe a jealous friend of his ex who thinks i don't deserve him. well,i've met the whole clan not that i requested him to do that but they all wanted to meet me and he's proud of me.bleeh... i really don't have anything againts u guys.i'm just kinda intrigued because it looks like ur threatening me.it's too obvious that u just found ur way here because if u are a constant reader here,u wouldn't be browsing through my old posts anymore.hmmm....i share the same thoughts with some people who happened to read my blog.so,maybe i'm right.

 

owh...just remember that this is the world wide web and everything can be traced.so,i'll gotcha one of these days.i'll be kicking ass sooner than u expected.

 

my heart screams "help!"

it's a long story to start with but i'm nervous more than excited.tomorrow is the big day.i'm going to pick up an old friend at the pier.i haven't seen him in 6 years.i dunno what to do,what to say and how  to react.he's here just to visit me and he's also going home with me tomorrow night.you may think it's a lil weird because he arrives here sunday morning and he leaves sunday night which gives him less than 24hours to stay here.he purposely did that.he just wanted to see me.but i'm really very nervous.how i wish i could move it to a different day but this is it.every minute brings me closer to him.help!

walang kwentang post

 

back pain,headache,dysmenorrhea... i'm really not feeling ok lately.i dunno.maybe i just chose not to be ok.i'm not even excited about going home.it's like wala lang.i'm on leave from 9july-18july.it's a long vacation.i used to be sooo ready whenever i plan to go home.there goes the day1 to day10 list,counting the remaining nights,and planning my itinerary.but this is so much different.i dunno why.there are days when i just wanted to cry for no reasons at all and then emptiness would fill in.am i watching too much movies that i sometimes get carried away?hahay...i only have two working days left and i'll be leaving on sunday.

blahbity-blahs

i've been to cebudoc earlier and had my check-up.the area below my underarm(just above my waistline) is acting crazy.it hurts like hell.and as paranoid as i am, i have a lot of weird thoughts.it came to a point when i've thought of dying thinking the pain would lead into something serious.i realized i'm not ready to die yet.i just don't wanna die early.i don't think i've done enough good deeds.hehe...thank God the doctor said there's nothing to worry about and it's just muscle pain.the med?watch superman.i'm just kidding.

im in love with...

superman.i love the movie.it's cool.christopher reeves is christopher reeves and i love him too but having brandon routh as the new man of steel is a different story.he is hawt.i almost fell off my seat the moment Clark turned into Superman.let's just say i'm lois and my clark remains to be nothin but a dream.hehe... u should watch it.kevin spacey rocked as lex luthor.but guess what?who would freakin' cry over that movie?i just did.damn it...i cried for reasons i don't know.

the world needs a superman.

blah-blah...

i know when i don't feel good because i crave for food.it's something that would make me feel good.maybe i'm just not ok.i dunno why it's happening to me.it's weird.

lunch.movie.chitchat.perfect.

i met up with a guy friend today.it was nice seeing someone i could talk to and laugh with.when everyone else thought that there is something going on between us, i beg to disagree.it was just great spending time with someone who treats me so well yet never took advantage.our hearts are singing a different tune.i know his heart beats for someone else and i can hear it.he doesn't have to sing it because i know the rhythm.and mine?it's too early to tell.go figure...

second best

a month ago,a friend told me that if only he doesn't have a gf now,i would be his best choice because i'm this and that.haay,reasons...he is also the same person who once said that he will court me once i grw up.i overheard him discussing it with his friends 11years ago.but it turned out that it was his brother and his friend who courted me years after.and then just the other night,someone told me the same line that if only he doesn't have a gf now,i would be his best choice.*sigh* i don't know how to react.will i feel bad because i'm just the second best?or will i be flattered that even if he has a gf,he sees me as someone worthy to be his girl.and i dont' wanna hear the same line for the third time.i know i don't have to dwell on these things now because i don't want someone with a baggage.i want him to be as empty-handed as me so we could hold each other hand in hand.i always say i don't wanna be a supporting actress to someone else's love affair bacause i deserve to have my own stage. i know i will be someone's BEST.i may not know now who that person is but i'll just let time unfold what the future may bring.*wink*wink*

i am

i've accepted my defeat but i will not wallow in self-pity. ÜÜ

i've gotta name names

almost everyone would ask me how come my nickname is nikki when my real name is tiffany may(for those who didn't know that's my real name).the name tiffany may was supposed to be for my older brother because they thought it's a baby girl.so it's not originally for me.it was already prepared three years before i was born.and then they call me nikki because my dad's relatives call him nik and so i was named after him.i remember one time when a classmate of mine called me at home and was looking for tiffany, the househelp told her tiffany doesn't live here.then the househelp told me "tiffany daw,wrong number".haha...
nikki is the official nickname but i still have a lot of nicknames.read on:

• my bro vinx calls me kin (bah-kin) or ba-ik
• sis jane calls me kai
• my bro jan calls me tipani
• my older bro warren calls me 'te
• my sis aden calls me gur or tag
• mom and manoy calls me ikin
• my aunts call me king (queen unta noh?)
• my close friends call me nikay
• jaeger calls me nikkiboy
• my cuz calls me te-ik
• they call me tikay
• kiting calls me ate G____
• my college friends call me steph(they are confused with tiffany and stephanie)
• others call me fan
• someone calls me ny
• they call me may
• someone calls me bianca babes
• someone calls me nikki-nikki
• two of my prev sups call me see-mee-neeh
• a friend calls me sai-min

U and ME

i really hate it if someone texts me and asks "musta na U?" or "sleep na ME".can't u say "musta ka?" or a simple "tulog na ko" will do.there's nothing wrong with using ka or ako.it really annoys me.using U and ME sounds like you're trying too hard to sound sosyal but it only gets you to sound soo baduy.i don't know why a lot of people use it.i'm sorry for saying this but it's just not my cup of tea.

back-to-back

24 years ago, i was just one of the envious but hopeful eggs and sperms,ever wanting to go out and see the world.lil did i know that i was chosen among the millions and was brought into this world with wonderful parents.thanx to my mom.happy mother's day!

happy mother's day to my sis jane

happy mother's day to all the moms in the world!!!

an open letter

i emailed my cousin kiting what happened on my bday and i love what she told me.

my msg:

"funny kaayo sa akong birthday coz nilakaw
ko pagkahapon...niadto ko church and cmenteryo...i dunno but it's all coming
back to me now...kay sa cmenteryo,nakita nko c papo,brother ni rhongie(he's
here diay,niuli from saudi kay church wedding daw niya) and when i got to the
church,naa didto ang papa ni stephen,nagpiano2.makadumdum jud kos akong utang dayon...before pa jud ko niadto sa cmenteryo,nilabay ang sakyanan ni stew...
and pag didto nko sa cmentenyo,kaduha nilabay ang sakyanan. and kta nko ya
bro and sis on that day uy.haay...and kim was ressurected too.we didnt text
naman for weeks na.and the bro of my other ex suitor also texted me on that day...and while i was praying sa church,i heard footsteps so i turned and saw stewart's gf...haha...a good way to spend my bday...
so,what does that mean?"

and her reply:

"ahhmmm... beh.... let me see... i think the Lord is trying to tell you something...

He let you saw people close to your ex-lovers on your birthday to tell
you you're close to receiving God's gift [that's what we call our hubby
in SFC, because when you receive a gift from someone, you love the giver
even more], as well as let you reminisce the good old days that you had
with them, the kilig moments, the like and not the like [hehe...]. He is
telling you to be grateful for the people who had admired you and that
once in your life, they made your heart smile, beat fast and even made you
run. They too, you may not admit it, shaped your expectations, your views
and opinions about men and relationships. Thus, having them a part of your
24 years of existence in this world is of value. You, now at 24 is more
equipped to rock their world! hehe... Btaw, I believe that someday we will
all walk down the aisle of the church and meet the man the Lord had prepared
for us and had prepared us for. It was just Stew's gf who entered the church
that day, next time around it would be you who'll walk down that aisle to be
wed. Life is great! We only live once, let's make the most of it. Being single
wont last long, so lets drink and be merry for tomorrow we might forget to
comb our hair, wash our face for there would be kids to put to sleep and a
husband to look after to. Char! hehe..."

one:

silence has its own way of saying goodbye...

*sigh*
i knew it from the start that it's not permanent and all things must come to an end but i didnt expect that it would end up too soon. we were two different strangers brought into this world and luckily our paths met once in our lives.i enjoyed every lil thing we do.the conversations,the food,the text msgs,the jokes,the movies and the ride home.weird as it may sound but right after everytime we meet,i always tell myself "that will be our last meeting".i don't know why.my friend said i'm crazy for saying that but i can't control myself.it's like there's a certain force pushing me to say that.but it was weirder the last time we met.i didn't tell myself that it will be the last.i was hoping we could meet up again even if i know there was something-i-dunno-what-it-is on our way home.it was the worst conversation we had.it's not that we argued but i felt like we just talked for the sake of being on the same roof and for the sake of saying something rather than be silent. but even if we talked it's as if silence took over.it's as if the spaces in between us is whispering that it's our last time to be together.the last time for us to breath the same air and the last time for us to hear each other's voices.the awkwardness i felt that time was the same feeling i had when we first met.it's kinda weird but the next thing i know i just woke up one day and realized that i never had him in my life.all of these will always remain in my memory and i know i can always count on the friendship.so,i guess it's goodbye.


two:

two of my very good friends here in the office recently resigned.i know they have valid reasons on why they resigned but i also have a valid reason to miss them...

cath: i missed the "binundaka sa mouse during GY, the way u say "i'm sorry,the movies, and a lot more...but i didn't miss the controversial issue.hehe...honestly,i really didn't tell anyone about what we talked in the pantry.judas will pay cath.haha..see you in cdo...

tzietz: mingaw na ang floor kay wa nay sabaan...haha...hope we could visit davao sooon...

tzietel,gnet,cath,moi and tina

three:

my friend duff is also leaving for australia. it was great meeting you.i wish you could visit the philippines again.
bon voyage duff!

four:

i also found out that one of my ex-suitors is in town and is getting married.we are not on speaking terms but i would like to assume that we are still friends. i'm not bitter-bitteran.i wish him all the best.

five:

there was this guy who courted me in january.yeah,he was the same guy i mentioned on my previous post. and then by mid-february,i dunno what happened to him. he suddenly disappeared which made me think if he was indeed serious or whatever.he would seldom send forwarded msgs and not the how-r-u kind of msgs.i then concluded that he got tired of courting me given the fact that we are miles away...he should have told me and not letting me wonder what happened or how everything ended.haay...well, to make this story short,i recently found out that he has a girlfriend now and i only have this to say: "doncha wish your girlfriend was hot like me"...hehe...

and lastly:

i'm leaving tonight.i'm going home.

three weekends in april

let the pictures speak for themselves

01-02april

my team went to san remigio and it was a blast.it was perfect! woohoo! i sooo love the beach.
i'm keeping my fingers crossed that we'll go to malapascua or bantayan next.

09april

my mom,tie lang and cuz kevin were here.it was just a very short visit but it was worth it.

16april

i met up with this korean guy, spent time with debbie at the mall and splurged.a girl's weakness is shopping and i'm guilty...hehe...

alegre

uhmmm...as per the spanish dictionary:

a·le·gre (adj. ) means

(regocijado) happy, glad
(jovial) cheerful, sunny (disposition)
figurative, colloquial (vivo) lively, bright (colors)

there's no other word to use just to describe how i feel right now.that's because i won a package for two to alegre beach resort which includes:

-overnight accommodation in a deluxe room

-buffet breakfast

-roundtrip land transfer from cebu city to resort

-sunset cruise with dolphin and whale watching

-welcome drinks

-fruit platter



i even wrote on my previous post that my CSAT(customer survey rating) is falling.haay!i really felt bad when my supervisor informed me about it and i would say that God really knows how to cheer me up.i won the package because of my CSAT for the month of january. our CSAT is the gatekeeper for us to avail of the incentives.i'm hoping february would end up with flying colors and that my zero csat will be disputed.i'm keeping my fingers crossed. as of now,i'm glad i won.i can't believe it when debbie told me that i won because i was on restday during the raffle.and who would even believe that i'm lucky.haha...and when i came to work this morning,my friends congratulated me and an email from our team manager confirmed it all.everyone's asking me who is the lucky person i'm gonna be with.some even voluntered themselves.hahaha...i don't even know yet.i'm still choosing and i'm thinking when i could go there.basta, alegre here i come!it's a five star hotel and when i checked their website for the room rate, my eyes widened because the room rate per night is $270.00=13,886.10 pesos.woooh!!! pwede i-cash-out?hehe...
