Giving gifts every Christmas is something I do without external influence, yeah true hehe. It brings joy to my heart. But this time is different because I gave away presents not from my parents' money I saved but from my own earnings and I realized it just doubled the fun. Before, I give only to my friends and now was able to bless my relatives, friends, and family. I haven't bought anything for myself yet but it's okay because I feel God's blessings flowing through me by blessing others.
This year has really been one of the memorable years for me! I'm thankful God does not only watches over me everyday but faithfully showing his love despite my flaws and weaknesses. As the lyric of a song says, "So blessed I can't contain it." God, you are more than enough for me!
As 2007 enters, I could be sidetracked with the thought that this year is so great already and have nothing to look forward to. But I'd stick on believing that greater things are yet to come. I have to face every fear in me knowing I have a big God! Let's all get excited and welcome twenty-o-seven.
Happy New Year everyone!!!

Happy Birthday JESUS!=)
Happy Birthday JESUS!=)
No goodbyes...
There's no goodbyes Alvin, just see yah!
Last night we went to a videoke bar for Alvin's despedida, he's not just a co-worker but a groupmate. He was not very vocal about it at least for me that's why it was a shocking. When he phoned me last monday, I somehow believed him telling me he's going to resign but something is holding me back knowing it might be another joke around. But then it's so real, he showed me his resignation paper the next day and some of my groupmates confirmed it's true. I have known him for nearly six months and he's been the pinaka-makulit here as in yung makulit, sobrang kulit talaga hehe. He'd call out for your name endless times for no reason at all.
It will really be different after christmas. Rina on my left is still deployed, Gilbert at my back is also deployed, and now Alvin on my right won't be here, too. I won't be answering calls for him. I have no one to talk with nonsense stuff anymore. Yesterday we ate lunch together and we quite had a serious talk and there got some piece of advise from him. And for those advises, it's just for me to keep =p I'm happy because he has found a great opportunity and he's not afraid to take challenges. But I cannot hide that I'm saddened over the fact that he's leaving *huhu*
For Alvin, Alvin... Alvin... Alvin... Alvin...hehe..You still have to teach me VB.not multi-threading diba?! Don't forget me ayt, ako yung groupmate mo na far younger than you at lagi lang smile kahit minsan nawawala ang peace ko dito hehe. Thanks for the kulit, for everything, sa treat kagabi (grabe ang wild ng mga tao) =) Always make God the center of your life ok! God bless you in all areas of your life. I'll miss you too =p
Well, I know Alvin's gonna make it and I'm so thankful to have known such a friend. Cheers!

Some things change...
I've been hearing this quote many times already, Change is the only constant thing in the world.
Lately, I've been wondering how this year differs from the other years. It has brought great things and some things not that good. But the blessings really outnumbered the bad ones.
I remember how I envied my friends who graduated from college making their dreams become a reality. This year, God has granted my prayers and handed me that diploma I am really proud of. My SP (thesis) days and sleepless nights, how I had my final defense and wanted to scream in joy, and on our graduation day as I marched onto the stage hearing my friends cheer, these are the ones I love to re-examine from time to time and feel God's goodness in my life. It ain't an easy life but when you have family, friends, and God to back you up, rough roads become smooth eventually.
The new phase of my life didn't sink in right away. I felt it on the day of our school registration. I'm not a student anymore, I'm not there, and I missed being one. *sigh*
After a month of rest, I started looking for a job. I didn't find one but I am founded by it haha. Seriously, a friend asked me to apply in the company he's working at. My dad and brother convinced me to try it because for me I don't want to be working with someone I knew. They might expect so much of me and unable to reach those expectations. There's no harm trying anyway. To make it short, I took the IQ test, went back for the hands-on exam and got into the final interview by God's help.
I now got myself travelling back and forth from San Pablo to Alabang instead of San Pablo to Los Baños. The travel time is longer and have to ride on a bus instead of a jeepney.
Now, I have to mingle with different people of different attitudes and ages. It was hard at first, I mean really hard for me, new environment, new faces, new everything. But I'm getting used to it. I found new friends, I learn a lot and I'm thankful for everything that's happening to me. I know there are more changes to come. Thinking of it makes me scared so I'd rather not think about it haha, the Bible says not to worry about tomorrow but always be prepared. For now, I just want to cherish each day that comes and fill my mind's photo album with priceless memories.

Merry Christmas Party!
Our awaited company christmas party was over...Well, that's what I thought. All the highlights of the party was the talk the next day in our office and even today. Some of the pictures and videos were uploaded for public viewing and if you were here, you'll hear chuckles and hard laughs of my officemates on their cubicles. As a newbie of the company, might as well keep a record of what happened in this year's christmas party.
It was held in Vivere at Richville Regency Suites Hotel, just 5-minute drive from our office. We arrived there (wearing our costumes) earlier than the start time to do some blockings on the stage we are to perform. Good thing, competitors are not there yet. We ate dinner first, carbo-loaded food were served! Of the three groups, we were the first to perform. Past forwarding, we won the first place! The two others were good also. But we were awarded the best hehe.. Guess we're not wrong advancing a victory party for that =) What a relief! It's worth the pressures, hassles, expenses, and body pains =p Thank you Lord!
Before we were awarded for the dance, there are also employees awarded as Employee of the Year per group. It is also a company custom having raffles during Christmas Party. This year I was one of those blessed with Php7K. Although it was the least raffle prize, I'm still very happy to have been picked among a hundred people in the hall. My roommate got the Php50K grand prize plus a home theater appliance! My dream is more than getting
appliances or even the grand prize but being the one giving those =)
Revelation time for our Kris Kringle came next. We formed a big circle as each revealed his baby. Some are really clueless and so it was a great surprise knowing who your parent is.
Of course, the never-ending video and picture taking took part the whole night. Well, nobody likes to quit smiling and posing hehe..
Doesn't end here yet, we went straight to Starbucks still wearing our gowns and the men in their formal attire, too. I went out with my groupmates. Gilbert, our Employee of the Year paid for our coffee. Thanks Gilbert! We went home past 12am. Thanks Leslie for the ride! =)
A tiring yet one of the nights worth reminiscing ;p

Masquerade! Paper faces on parade...
Three days before our Christmas Party. We've been rehearsing our dance for days and aahh we're close to perfect already and it's sounding like a sarcastic yes in here hehe... What's good about it is that everyone of us enjoys and few polishing needed! Three groups will be competing and we just celebrated our advance Victory Party which brought a sudden mild shock to our dance instructor. He said, "haay...nakakaloka naman ang mga batang ito, ibang confidence din ang meron ang batch na ito grabe!" haha...
Picture of the Good cake gone bad
Ready to learn new moves =)
Well, girls I thought you were ready???
Melody: Ahh, ganun pala steps, buti alam ko na agad para maituro ko na sa mga madaling makalimot...
Agee: Sarap ng cake, tulog na lang ako hehe...Go Agee!
Amazing Race
I went to Los Baños last thursday night not just to witness but to celebrate our church's 17 years of victory!
God's faithfulness is very evident in this church, I am part of the family for more than five years now and it's becoming bigger every year! They anniversary theme was "AMAZING RACE, Passing the Baton".
Our church here in LB is focused on campus ministry like we always say, Change the Campus, Change the World! We believe that eventually we will graduate and some will move out (like me), some will stay. In this journey, we need a team who will walk with us. As John Maxwell said, A leader without any follower is just out for a walk. There's a need to pass the baton like what we see in a runnning race. It just feels great seeing new faces with same passion for God, making a dent in this generation!
From DL Umali Hall, UP auditorium, we went straight to our center and ate dinner. I got to see the people I miss a lot! Some of the alumni were there too. AS much as I want to bring back the past, I can't. They are now great memories I'll always cherish.

Deck the Halls...
Last night I watched the movie Deck the Halls with three of my officemates Emme, Agee, and Thess. It was unplanned. I just invited Thess to attend church service then she asked me to watch movie after. I don't even have to think twice, yeah why? Because I don't have to pay for it =) It so happened Thess has a movie pass for two. While Emme and Agee insisted to have portions in the free ticket, I also insisted they don't have to. Well, just proved how great and understanding friends they are and how much they earn more wehehe, so I don't have to worry and feel guilty about it!=) Thanks to the three of you! Anyway, we made a deal if there would still be raffle this coming christmas party, and I'll win the grand prize, then I'm gonna pay for their movie tickets next time =) (girls, start praying!!!)
And the movie...I'll give it a 3/5 rating. Great great production but just a simple story. Agee fell asleep! But there was one who I guessed did enjoy watching and forgot about her things, lost her phone and suspecting it was snatched by the one seated beside her. Whoa! I can't belive there would be snatchers inside ATC cinema! Life can be tough sometimes. But everything happens for a reason and for us to learn.
For this Christmas Season, let's give more love more than material things, spend it with our loved-ones or remember them, be at peace with the people around us, and be grateful for the best gift God ever gave--Jesus Christ!=)

Does not matter how it starts but how it ended...
I feel so weak. Days of insufficient sleep maybe are the reasons. It's been weeks that I've been sleeping late at night and waking early in the morning. Still, I'm not so satisfied with my activities. Time is running without me accomplishing things. I mean there are, few little things and I thing there should be more! I'm not sure if it's right, this feeling of guilt in me everytime I am not in active use hehe. Somebody said to be just thankful for the rest I have. And yes I'm so thankful! However, I can't take away "if only's" in my mind.
Sometimes I am trapped that I want to escape and do sensible things. But all I have to do is wait. Waiting is tiring haha. So whenever I got all the time, I now have this excuse that I'm tired and needs some rest! Well, I need someone who will help me in time management...
----------
Hooray! We had our formal dance session for our christmas party. It was fun! We had a good laugh everytime we make mistakes =p Thank God this day ended beautiful!=)

Make yourselves at home, talking praise.
Thank him. Worship him.

all-generous in love,
loyal always and ever.

I'm on my way home sweet home nah nah nah nah...
Three days ago, I went to ATC with two of my officemates to look for 'something colorful' as for the kris kringle's theme this week. Among the three of us, only I has the plan of buying one. They went out really to eat! But then, Ed and Mel were the first ones to find their gifts. If you're looking for something unusual, oh it's really hard esp you don't know, don't see the person yet hehe. After an hour of searching, I finally decided my pick. We ate literally fast because we've exceeded our break time so I just extended an hour at the office.
I've missed mid-week service for two weeks already. This time I was able to attend with Rina and Mark. Oh men, the preacher was from Indonesia named Mel Tari and He was one of the great preachers I ever met. He was funny yet passionate! I remember what He said, He hasn't meet and will never find a great a Christian, person whatever, only people with great God! That night was so full and I was deeply encouraged!
The next day, we were called for a meeting regarding our christmas party. The theme is masquerade. The new hired this year and last year who have not performed much will take part in the performance competition they said. We have to dance ballroom so it would be related with the theme. It just reminded me of my debut, the practices and all, hmm(the walk-out scenario of our dance instructor too =p)
Thursday night, I had to work after office hours and work for our deadline. Gilbert is a monster programmer hehe. I admit, I'm not into web programming but I'm liking it now. I was coding for more than hour and when I can't figure it out, he'll do it the optimized version for five minutes maybe! I've learned a lot in two days working on that report.
Last night, I hang-out with my bestfriend. She was happy that she was able to received her pay from being an SA last semester. I'm happy too because she treated me dinner =) I just didn't have the energy anymore so we did catch up on things and went home.
Today, I have to go back to my apartment to get my stuff before going home to Laguna. I imagine being home late affternoon. Then tomorrow is the day I really can spend with my family, then as evening comes, i have to prepare clothes etc. again and again for the coming week. I hope we have our own house here in Alabang and sleep there, eat food prepared by my mom, talk with my family after work and feel so at home!=)

I can't be sick!
Around 3am, I felt my throat aching badly. I forced myself to sleep, but still I felt uneasy. The night before I go to sleep, I already sensed a sore throat coming. I did what my mom told us to do when this happens. I gargled a glass of warm salt water. Right now, I still have hard time swallowing. This tonsillitis thing runs in the family and I remember being monitored yearly by our GP because it may lead to heart failure. Thank God because I experience it once a year at most.
This is also the reason why I avoid sweets. It just happened every time I eat too much sweets, it triggers to a sore throat. Last weekend, I ate a lot of cake and drank more soda than water. The hospital environment also added maybe. Then yesterday, I was exposed to people smoking. And last night, I stayed in the house of my bestfriend's grandma again. After 9 days of mourning, we were now allowed to play the piano. I always wanted to have a grand piano of my own though I'm not a pro pianist. I just hear songs and try to play it on my keyboard =) So last night, we were singing at the top of our lungs. My plan of sleeping early was thwarted again but I had a great night!
Another thing that bothers me is having canker sore (singaw po in Tagalog hehe) in my mouth. Ay, grabe talaga! Based on my research, Doctors don't know the cause of it yet. Not sure about that anyway. It's so annoying and I want it gone...Hoping to feel better soon!
Well, Christmas is on the air! Last friday we picked our kris kringle-mate hehe, I dunno how you would like to call it. But it's simply the exchange of gifts without telling anyone who you picked until it's revelation time. This week's theme is something colorful with 5 colors at least! Clue: my pick is guy and I guess it's easier to buy women gitfs than men hehe... Yesterday, Gilbert gave me his spare mouse, and not all spare are old haha, actually it's new! His requested new pc came and asked me if I wanted the mouse, so I had it! I'm like a kid handed with a lollipop hehe. Well, at least it's ergonomically designed (optical with convenient scrol wheel). See, I'm a child at heart and very much grateful with small things!=)

It's been a long yet short week!
I hate memory lapse! Just before I started blogging, I forgot my blogger account. At least my third try was accepted. I hope it's just normal. It happens occasionally and I get lost. Especially remembering a person's name, I need to be good at it. Imagine a scenario, I met this friend and next meeting I have with me another friend and you have to introduce them but unfortunately you can't recall the person's name, hoping you just didn't meet the person! And if I can't find a way, sorry but I make sure the conversation is fast and worse, I don't introduce them anymore =p Or maybe I just have too much in mind today.
This week, I kind'a broke a routine. It was like my first two weeks in office where I traveled back and forth from Laguna to Alabang and so on... It's tiring but it was fun! I had time to encourage my mom who's confined in the hospital again last thursday. I pray that everything would be better for my family.
Last week, we were planning for my dad's birthday. It's gonna happen tomorrow, and I guess we would be celebrating it in the hospital. It may not seem ok but you always have to look on the brighter side! If today didn't turned the way you want it to be, hmm tomorrow can be beautiful =)
I had my hair rebonded last sunday. Just a treat for myself hehe, though my brother paid the quarter. Still, I realized it's not a want for me, it's a need!;p Now it's quite manageable and the stylist told me it could last for 6 months (sana nga) depending on the hair growth. My rebonding experince took 7 hours! They had a free back massage, too. I love it! I found out I got "nodules" on my back! She said it was due to stress, hmm well...
Last night, I met my bestfriend with her parents and some of her relatives. We ate in Gerry's Grill. As much as I wanted to eat, I just ate a few. Aside from the fact that I don't eat much, I ate also in Gourmet with my officemates before meeting them. We moved around looking for a birthday present for my dad but I end up buying stuff for my mom and for me hehe!
I slept in the place of my bestfriend's grandma. Her husband died and request Chris to stay with them for days. Good thing, they seemed to have recovered fast from the lost of a loved one. You really can't control things. We have to treasure the people around us now and not wait for the time we can't touch them, hear them, ad feel them!
Another highlight of the week was having 5 meetings/discussion with work projects. I hope I could really contribute in here. I'm excited at the same time nervous to meet deadlines hehe..
That's it! Let's call it a week! There are much more to tell but I'm having my memory gap again haha... ÜÜÜ

My rebonding experince took 7 hours! They had a free back massage, too. I love it! I found out I got "nodules" on my back! She said it was due to stress, hmm well...
Last night, I met my bestfriend with her parents and some of her relatives. We ate in Gerry's Grill. As much as I wanted to eat, I just ate a few. Aside from the fact that I don't eat much, I ate also in Gourmet with my officemates before meeting them. We moved around looking for a birthday present for my dad but I end up buying stuff for my mom and for me hehe!
I slept in the place of my bestfriend's grandma. Her husband died and request Chris to stay with them for days. Good thing, they seemed to have recovered fast from the lost of a loved one. You really can't control things. We have to treasure the people around us now and not wait for the time we can't touch them, hear them, ad feel them!
Another highlight of the week was having 5 meetings/discussion with work projects. I hope I could really contribute in here. I'm excited at the same time nervous to meet deadlines hehe..
That's it! Let's call it a week! There are much more to tell but I'm having my memory gap again haha... ÜÜÜ

Ang Pamana:The Inheritance
Hey Guys, promoting is fun, at least when you know what to promote hehe...
Got an email from Sir Neil and he is initiating the promotion of the film

Now, let's do some advertisement!
Watch "Ang Pamana" on November 22, 2006
Below are the released trailers on YouTube
Two-minute and 46 sec trailer
Hawaii Filmfest

I found this excerpt from filipinoreporter.com
Well-made Filipino thriller gets ‘A’ rating from CEB
“Ang Pamana (The Inheritance),” a supernatural thriller about Filipino folklore, was given an “A” rating by the Philippine Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB), citing the film’s “technical excellence.”
Directed by Romeo Candido, “Ang Pamana” is the second move to get an “A” rating from the CEB this year after Jeffrey Jeturian’s “Kubrador.” This entitles “Ang Pamana” to a 100-percent amusement tax rebate.
“The story [of ‘Pamana’] is very well-told and the approach is very original,” CEB chair Christine Dayrit told the Philippine Daily Inquirer. “Watching the movie was a hair-raising experience.”
Dayrit said the board screening committee was impressed, among other things, by the remarkable performance of model-TV host Phoemela Barranda, and the work of Gerard Salonga (yes, Lea’s younger bro), who did the “really haunting” musical score — recorded by a live orchestra. She also commended cinematographer Odyssey Flores.
“It is interesting to note that the film is not star-driven,” said Dayrit. “The characterizations are so well-developed that big stars are not needed. Phoemela Barranda’s acting is exceptional.”

Let's have some fun!
Yesterday is Daryll's bday! She's from the same department I'm working with. During our aftenoon break, we had a "salu-salo" in honor of her day! The party isn't over yet, we took our dinner in a ktv bar in star mall. Got there for the first time. It was a long night of singing, eating, and laughing. Not everyone of us came, only me, the birthday girl, Leslie, Gilbert, Olie, and Edmon. Here are our cool pics:

Hold on!
I miss seeing my mom in her normal condition!!! I just have no work to do and memories pop in my head. Weird, but I really miss the old days..."Mommy, fight ka lang...Malalagpasan din natin ito!" God will see us through!

Whappy day!
I woke up excited! I'm going home today yuhoo!!! No plans for tomorrow, maybe just rest=) Even it's a one day vacation I'm still thankful.. Quite envious of my two brothers because it's Lem's sembreak and my Kuya filed his 7-day forced-leave. Sana meron din dito nun. Actually it's 10 but he already used up the other 3.
As I turned on my pc, nah, it's turned on and I don't know why. So I turned on the monitor, entered my bios password and tadah.... "The ff file is missing or might be corrupted....Type the name of the command interpreter." So I went to Emme and googled in her computer how i would resolve this. The first link I got was: "If you ever get the message "Type the name of the Command Interpreter" while booting to Windows you know your in trouble." Oh no! But as I continued reading it, I'll just be needing a bootable disk hehe. So I called on our tech but unfortunately, no one is there yet. Then, Gilbert came and I told him actually I showed him the errors. I think he'll try to boot on the CD he has and before it happened, my pc came back to normal like nothing happened! I still can't figure out how it went well again. Thank God! =)
Tomorrow is All Saint's Day. For sure heavy traffic again everywhere. Nah, even today, we can see from our building that the volume of traffic is getting high already. Good for me because my brother and I will go home together tonight. Quite frustrating for him because he'll be driving the car haha! I can't wait. Few hours na lang pwede na ko mag-out. I somehow hate when my time is spent in idleness (haha true). I'm through with the tasks I have to accomplish and a while ago I had the time to browse my friends' blog then after reading a lot, i lost the interest to continue. Maybe because my eyes are tired hehe.
I'll wait for Kuya in ATC so I could there meet my bestfriend. Chris and I usually hangout
during fridays but for the past 3 fridays we didn't. She had her so called 'hell weeks' hehe.
Few minutes and I'll be off! This was really a happy day!;p

Start it right and strong...
It's always been a short weekend for me ever since I was hired in my job. I have to be in the office during saturdays too, it's sort of a company policy. Most of the time I'll be arriving early
afternoon or early evening at home on saturdays. Usually, I found my family waiting and even though I'm tired, I make it a point that I get time to converse with them even a few. Such a blessing that you're able to see your family again and be with them too! Sunday night comes, I have to prepare my stuff for the week. It just don't feel so good haay hehe...I want to stay longer at home!=)
Last night, I wasn't able to sleep well because my mom was disturbed. BUT SHE'S EATING NOW YEHEY! THANKS FOR ALL WHO PRAYED FOR HER! She's still adjusting on food intake. I remember last saturday, she asked for ZAGU drink hehe. She also craved for mango shake and melon fruit. And because it's not the season of MELON fruit, my dad bought the one imported abroad costing P200.00! It's worth it anyway! Let's continue praying for continuous recovery! Praise God talaga. He's been so good to us even stuggles don't seem to pass. I know it will in His perfect time!=)
It's monday! I'm homesick again! I asked God to make me happy and make the day easy for me =) After doin' my morning task, I remember have to make a weekly report on the inventory of our project. So I did! Thank God, being busy helps you forget that 'homesick feeling'somehow hehe! I also forwarded encouraging verses to my family and friends. Instead of focusing on things that would make me lonely, why not make others blessed and inspired!
I got it from Jason's YM status which I found it very timely. I wanna share with you what it says.
"Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?" -- Jeremiah 32:27
Yeah, nothing is too difficult for God! It really relies on us now when we experience difficulties oo how are we going to trust the Almighty God!
Around 1030 this morning, Gilbert called for a meeting in Starbucks hmm. Gilbert and Bojo discussed the creation of the database in our new project. I admit, I am not into web programming but I really want to learn and be good at it. Bojo said, it's easy hehe. I hope so. =) Thanks Gil sa treat! I'll make it up to you next time haha!=p This afternoon, I just did some more php tutorials and research =) I continued testing mobile contents the team is producing. Hope it would be a success because it's for everybody's benefit anyway!
It's been a long day! A tough day to conquer for me. Thank you God, nothing is too difficult for you.*mwaaaah*

Picture picture...
I told her 'di man lang tayo nakapag-bonding'. Vanne, my officemate has found a new environment to work with. I think she lasted about four to five years here. I just thought, it's quite long already. Kasi ako, I felt like ang tagal ko na din dito but come to think of it, it would only be my fourth month stay next week haha! Kaya nagtake kami ng pictures, last night na nya dito.
Ako lang di TSG dito ah hehe
Si Agee parang saya na aalis si Vanne hehe...;p
Well, Vanne God bless po! We'll see each other again =)

There's No Place Like LB!!!
Thank God, He permitted me to visit LB yesterday. Super dooper mega over miss ko na agad ang LB! =( I just had a great great time last night in my 2nd home! I arrived there around 7 in the evening. There was traffic congestion on the roads and so I kept looking on my watch because I want to catch up YOF's last youth service this semester, thank God I did, yun lang it was about to end na din. On fire pa rin talaga ang mga tao! I sat beside Shine, my former OGmate and tried to get updated through her. After service, oh no eto na ang mga gorgeous friends ko. Everyone's asking kumusta ka na at ciempre 'di mawawala ang pag-hug hehe. Di ko 'lam pero parang lalo ko silang na-miss!! I got to meet new friends too!=) And the ever picture taking di mawawala! Si Denise kasi di mahilig hehe! Alang katapusan na kumustahan to the max na'to =)
So what's next after some small talks? It's eating time! I ate dinner with Chris, Eva, Marian, and Tadz. They brought me to Laxco or Lacxo haha I forgot, a place I have never been before. It was a typical LB food establishment serving good food somehow hehe.
The night didn't end there! Ciempre minsan na lang 'to, kaya let's make the most out of it! And the master planner, si Tina! She did a text brigade pala sa mga peepz to have coffee with me after knowing that I planned to visit them, but read on what happened to the master planner hmm... So we went to Roadhouse, an extension of Coffee Blends they said and waited the others. Before we made orders, we transferred to the original Coffee Blends for the reason I didn't know haha! With me was Chris, Yang, Emil, and Fej. Then Glean came later, then Babes and Cla next. Anung topic? What would you expect na all girls kami? ciempre mga panay-panay nila!=p Yeah, nakakahiya kasi parang kami lang tao sa coffee shop when there really are others around. Ang gulo gulo. Pagsamahin ba naman si Glean, Emil, Yang, and Feje, sabog talaga! And the master planner?? Ala pa din! Like we're waiting for almost 2 hours for her, and it's getting late. We just talk, talk, and talk, laugh, laugh, and laugh some more! Super enjoy talaga! At dahil wala pa din si Tina, they suggested mag-videoke muna. On our way, we saw Tina on a nearby internet cafe still having meeting with Kuya Jon, Kuya Jerry, and Adrian. I just said Hi to them then told Tina na sa videoke na cia humabol hehe. Unfortunately, closed na yung videoke kasi late na siguro, sayang. It's time to split na din coz others have to review pa for their exams. So we walked home, me, Chris, and Babes.
When we came at Chris' apartment where I decided to stay kasi si Tadz dun din ako pinapatulog, nagparamdam na ulit si Tina and followed us pero nung oras na ba yun? She was with Kuya Jerry and Adrian, So our coffee bonding ni Tina, sa daan na lang nauwi. More than an hour lang kami nakatayo dun at usap-usap. From white house, bumalik pa kami ulit sa Demarces medyo malayo din yun. Whew, surprisingly my feet aches na but it's ok minsan lang 'to, let's make the most out of it hehe! We fetched Tina's OGmate that would sleep in her and ate Babes' apt. Antok na ko pero kaya ko pa 'to!=) We walked back to white house while the three rode a tricycle kasi mas malayo yung kanila.. And that's it, Tadz is still awake by then and after I changed clothes, bagsak talaga ako sa bed hehe! I said sorry to Chris kasi even I want to chat with her pa, di ko na kaya..What a night! Such a great time!=) Thanks to you all!
This morning I don't feel like getting out of bed but I have to, I need to be in Alabang before 10am. On my way here, I reminisced everything that I could. I just can't help but smile! I went first to The Original and bought buko pies for my officemates. Thank God, I was able to catch the van, 2nd to the last passenger na ko eh! I was not that familiar kaya nakalampas ako sa terminal. Ang bilis pa ng travel ko huhu, 1-2-3..kilometers away from LB..Ü
Then as we moved, medyo sad na yung feeling. I started missing them again! =( Haay...I'm always looking forward sa next meetings. Sana yung mas matagal, yun nga lang mas malungkot pag matagal ang bonding, all the more na nakaka-miss! LB, what's in you?! I always find myself wanting to come back!=)

Stronger me
I have foreseen it; I won't be blogging everyday. And for the past 3 days, I have not been good at it. Oh well, I stayed in the hospital last weekend. I slept beside may mom on my first night and slept on a couch last sunday. It's really painful seeing your loved one in distress. If only you could share some of it to lessen her burden. But all we have to do is pray and wait =)
It just feels so great when you have friends that are supportive all the way. I got a call from ate babes, sms from my dear friends, thanks for continuous prayers Chris, Debbie, Yang, Glean, Lala, Denise, Divine, Dennis, Daisy, Tadz, Tina, and celat =) Also, I appreciate those who visited us while we were at the hospital. You guys are wonderful! To Madi & her mom, to all my relatives who took time to visit, and churchmates who united with us in prayers! Thanks a lot!!! There really are countless blessings to be grateful for if you would just look around. As for me, I can't fail to recognize them and I won't!
Yesterday was declared a national holiday. I went home the other day to help my family who are fatigued in closely watching my mom all day and night long. My mom was discharged from the hospital but still she had difficulty eating and drinking. We did like a round-robin manner in taking care of her, since we don't have helper at home. Thank God, I was able to rest too. Evening came and whew, packing up things and preparing for work is really sad esp leaving my mom in that kind of situation. But I have to be strong, I need to remind myself that God is in control! After 4 hours of sleep and an hour travel, I'm here again in Alabang. There's no work load yet, Gilbert did already what I supposed to be doing hehe =p And so I made a research about my mom's condition. Hope it would help =)
We have been battling this family crisis for a couple of years now. And I remembered what Feje told me, she said, "Karen, God is building a stronger character in you!" And so here I am God mold me for your glory!=)
---------------------
I've been writing this blog during idle times today. It's mid-afternoon already and the weather is gloomy! Try adding some intrumental tracks in the background and you're ready to fall asleep *hehe* Actually I'm beginning to feel sleepy already! While everybody seemed to be busy here, I can't think of fruitful thing to do. All I could think of are my old friends, planning their semenders, excited with their sembreak! Oh, I love the feeling of completing all your projects and final exams and the best thing is passing them all. However, if you were not able to pass it because of your not so considerate instructor hmmm... just think of the gimmicks lined up =)
Well, well, I'm looking forward to the church service later. What's God gonna tell me?? I'm just very excited!

It's gonna be a happy day!
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
James 4:14
Life is short indeed. Nobody knows what exactly would happen tomorrow or even in the few minutes to come. You might be very good in planning but still you cannot control everything. It's great to know that we can put our security in the arms of a loving God. The Maker whose plans will never fail =)
-----------------------
I miss my friends in LB, nakaka-bitin kasi last saturday. As much as I want to go back, I have to consider my mom who needs more time from us. Siguro, kung regular employee na ko sa work, sumama na ko sa kuya ko pauwi kahapon. Anyway, konting time na lang at makaka-uwi na din ako =)
Well, my officemate is here and we have decided to do some reviews and sessions related sa work. I'm excited to learn new things! Time to be fruity =)

Stand Still
Nope, I'm not outdated. Just got no time for this. After a couple of years planning *haha* here is my first blog! Though I keep a written journal for Somebody up there,I want to 'share'my thoughts and experiences in the world wide web too =)
Today I woke up excited because it's friday and even I have to work during saturdays, I'm still happy because I'd be able to be with my family tomorrow =) 'Thank you GM for a morning encouragement', well she said, 'When u don't know what to do, step aside, let God take over. Keep still and watch. God won't settle for a so-so solution just to get through. He likes to do it extravagantly.' Few hours later, my dad texted me that they have to bring my mom in the hospital. I chose to be still, yes I'm worried but worrying won't help. =) Everything's gonna be ok! I just know.
