woke up early since my boyfriend had to go to work. we ate breakfast together and i went with him to the wharf to see him off. later, my sister and i went out for lunch with her friends sweet may monteclaro and anne lily jan chin ( i can’t believe i ate so much that day: one rice, one piece chicken, one muffin, a small bowl of mac and cheese and another small bowl of corn and carrots..hehe no wonder i’m getting fatter) 
we went shopping for christmas decorations afterwards. and then we decorate our christmas tree later that day.
it was a very relaxing weekend for me. and i’ve got to enjoy it with the people that i love. looking forward to the next series of holidays and long weekends.

for the girls…single or taken…
the guy who really love you:
- can’t actually state the reason why he does
- only knows you’re the only thing that matters next to his family
- worries a lot when he can’t hear a word from you even after he just dropped you home..only coz he cares..
- apologizes nonstop even if he knows you’re wrong…he just wants you to be happy
- don’t do things which can hurt you beyond grief
- knows how to act properly with or without your presence
- knows how to wait SINCERELY when you told him so…(no sidelines, no back up, no RESERVE player)
- knows what is best for the both of you..let go eventhough it hurts…yet still hopes for a future with you..

random opinions, pautwas, thoughts to ponder….
relationship is not about ownership. a person is not a thing to be possessed.
some people are fond of taking revenge when they felt pain in their heart or when they hurt their pride. it is so much better not to stoop down to their level and return their revenge. because eventhough revenge is sweet but still forgiveness is divine.
there are people who you initially don’t trust but proved in the end that they can be very trustworthy. but there are others whom you place your whole trust and believe everything they told you, only to find out later that they can betray your trust in one way or another. the irony of life.
you can’t expect other people to consider the things that you considered or respect your principles in life. you can be very considerate and sensitive when it comes to what might hurt them but you can’t expect them to return the favor.
you should always know your worth as a person because other people can put you down and treat you like a doormat. know your strength and capability so that you can hold your ground amidst the criticisms.
you are not supposed to fall in love with another person when you still love the person you are with. as the law in physics states, no two objects can ocupy the same space. (mikhail)
there is truth in the t-shirt print that states: “pinili kong maging masaya dahil mas madaling ngumiti kaysa ipaliwanang kung bakit ako malungkot” (mikhail’s t-shirt print..heheh)
running back through the fire when there’s nothing else left to save is plain STUPID.
one important thing that i’ve learned in dancing school is that when in doubt, STOP. and think what is the CORRECT step.
other people hate you not because you’re a bad person but because they want what you have and they want to be just like you.
those people who are caught commiting mistakes are sorry not because they hurt you or they regret what they did. they’re only sorry because they got caught. (lala)
doing the right thing at the wrong time is still the wrong thing. (lala)
kung talagang para sa iyo ang isang tao, mawala man sya sa iyo nang mahabang panahon…magkikita pa rin kayo kung tama na ang mali at pwede na ang hindi. (louilyn…asuuus)
don’t waste your time to those people who are never worth your hurts and sacrifices. (kathy marie via e-mail)
don’t keep on holding to unnecessary pains that burdens you coz you’ll soon realize you’ve been wasting your time stranded in a place where you should’nt be. (kathy marie via e-mail)
always trust your (woman’s) instinct because other people are very good at pretending and lying…that everything is ok, eventhough it’s not.
forever is a very long, long, long, long time. always expect the unexpected. (leah…)
(more to come……)

saying goodbye for a new beginning…
i did’nt expect that my first post for 2009 will be about saying goodbye. but here it is. i am saying goodbye, to the first ever job that i had since i graduated from college. i’ve been here for 2 years and i’ve made a lot of friends and learned a thousand lessons about having a job, going through pressures, meeting deadlines and most important of all, surviving the challenges of the real world. this is where i’ve learned to be a mature and strong person. before, i am very sheltered and protected by my family and friends from the cruelties of the people around me. but when i started my first ever job, i’ve learned that in the workplace, my family is not always there to protect me and some friends are not always as true as they say they are. but inspite of all the hardships and trials that i have gone through, i’m really thankful for having experienced those things for it made me become a much better person.
my mom would always say that i can be very intelligent but i am very weak emotionally and i can’t easily accept changes. and she’s right, i am all that and more. for one thing, i am not very good at saying goodbye. i always despise going away and saying goodbye to the people that i’m used to having around. because i can get very emotional and cry really hard and be depressed for a long time. i am such a coward when it comes to these things and i hate myself for it. i would always ask myself, why can’t i be like other people who handles these things gracefully without shedding a single tear and just waves and say really witty farewell comments. why is that i’m always close to tears just by thinking that everything that i’m used to having around me will change in just a few days. i guess i’m just not very good at handling things emotionally. i just can’t accept changes that easy. i’m weird that way.
but as they always say, change is good. maybe i need this change, to grow professionally and be independent. so here i am, transferring to a place that my parents always dream of me going to-a government agency. i can’t blame them, they are working with the government for as long as i remember. they want the same for me and i also want the same for myself. but as i move on, i will always remember the lessons that i’ve learned from my first job, the friends that i’ve earned and the different kinds of people that i’ve met especially my big bosses who help me be the kind of person that i am now after 2 years of working in the same company. so i guess this is a meaningful goodbye for a new start, a new beginning, a new life…

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle/random
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
Here are my weird answers…hehehe

Prom:
Crush-David Archuleta (nice song…pwede na….hehe)
Life’s OK:
Mmmmmm-laura izibor (lol…the message of this song does’nt exactly suggest that “life’s ok”)

Runways, Fashion Week, Designers, Models, etc…
Last year, my sister introduced me to fashion tv and its never ending fashion weeks, model and designer specials and coverage of different fashion events from London, Paris, Milan, New York and Los Angeles. I first saw Elli Saab’s show, then Dolce & Gabbana, Ferragamo, Versace, Burberry and Blumarine shows and I was mesmerized by the stylish and colorful clothes. They all have great collections and it was fascinating to watch the models and their respective signature walks. I learned about what is first face (the model who first walk into the catwalk at the beginning of the show, she opens the show), how the shows work, the hair and make up and I’ve known a lot of models and eventually have my personal favorites. From then, I got hooked to fashion tv and I always watch its fall/winter and spring/summer fashion weeks.
These are some of my favorite models. It’s from left to right and top to bottom.
- Coco Rocha-She’s a supermodel from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. She’s connected with Elite, Marilyn, Storm and Why not agency. She’s known for “my pout, my walk”.
- Agyness Deyn-Her true name is Laura Hollins. She’s a supermodel from Littleborough, England and connected with DNA, VIVA, and why not agency. She’s known for “my hair, my style”.
- Irina Lazareanu- She’s from Montreal, Quebec, Canada and connected with Marilyn and Why not Agency. She’s a supermodel known for “my bangs, my style”.
- Natasha Poly-her true name is Natasha Polevshchikova. She’s a supermodel from Perm, Russia and connected with Women agency. She’s known for “my walk, my legs, my cheekbones”. For the past 2 years, she has been the no. 1 at the first face countdown both during the spring/summer and fall/winter fashion weeks.
- Lily Donaldson- She’s a supermodel from London, England and connected with IMG and Marilyn Agency. She’s known for “my lips, my eyes”. She’s really pretty.
- Maria Carla Boscono-She’s a supermodel from Rome, Italy and connected with VIVA and Women Agency. She’s known for “my hair, my walk”. She has one of the best signature walk in the business.
- Jessica Stam-She’s a supermodel from Kincardine, Ontario, Canada and connected with IMG Agency. She;s known for “my eyes”. She has really mysterious eyes.
- Irina Kulikova- She’s from Slobodsk, Russia and connected with IMG agency. She’s a supermodel and she has been a favorite among the young models in the business. She’s known for “my legs, my lips, my walk”.
- Freja Beha Erichsen- She’s a supermodel from Roskilde, Denmark and she’s connected with IMG agency. She’s known for “my hair, my androgynous look, my tattoos”. She’s an “astig” model.
- Bruna Tenorio- She’s from Maceio, Alagos, Brazil and connected with Storm and Women Agency. She’s not yet a supermodel and she’s known for “my eyes”. My sister and I like her beauty coz it’s unique and has Asian features.
Other models who we love are, Isabeli Fontana, Suvi Koponen, Vlada Roslyakova, Snejana Onopka, Karlie Kloss, Channel Imam, Flavia de Oliviera, Daria Werbowy, Gemma Ward, Raquel Zimmerman, Olga Sherer, Diana Moldovan, Angela Lindvall, Iekeline Stange,Magdalena Frackowiak, Tanya Dziaheliva, Han Jin, Ai Tominaga and many more.

losing someone…
i think i lost a friend….i don’t know…i’m not sure…i don’t even know what went wrong. it just happened… first, we stopped speaking to each other, then we stopped texting each other…nowadays, we’re just being civil when we’re in the same perimeter…then one night, i texted him and he replied…but it leads to us, saying hurtful things to each other…he keeps on saying awful and hurtful things to me which i can’t take anymore and it made me cry really hard…i was never been this hurt before in my entire life…maybe he’s just so angry with me for calling him a “jerk”…coz i still can’t imagine him saying those awful things…i kept on thinking about what happened and i kept asking what went wrong…something happened, but i don’t know what it is…
deep inside, i’m still hoping that we can patch things up…coz for me, no matter what happened he’s still and will always be my friend…i never lose a friend before and it’s not gonna happen now…and what makes it more sad is that it’s christmas time…when people were suppose to unite and be happy and show their love for one another, i lost a friend…terrible isn’t it? and he’s not just an ordinary friend or an acquaintance…he becomes a special person to me, a special friend whom i will always remember for the rest of my life…i don’t hold grudges..friendship is very important to me…even those friends who stabbed me in the back and betrayed me, i still considered my friends and i always find it in my heart to forgive them…coz i value friendship so much…maybe i hurt him too and i am sorry for that…i had my own set of shortcomings but i’m not a terrible person, i know i’m not…my friends know it too…but for him, i’m different, i’m a terrible person, mean, etc..etc..i don’t know what else…if that is what he thinks of me, i can’t do anything about it anymore…it’s his opinion…i don’t even know why he thinks i’m all that…i know that everything happens for a reason and maybe eventually, the reason why this thing happened will be revealed to me… but i’m still hoping for the best coz that particular friendship is very valuable to me for it taught me a lot of things and made me realize things i ought to realize and helped me become a mature person. the song of mandy moore entitled “can we still be friends” really reminds me of this experience…let me share to you a few lines of the song…
we awoke from our dreams,
things are not always what it seems.
memories linger on,
it’s like a sweet, sad, old song.

what about now…???
this is a video of daughtry’s song, what about now. i really love this video eversince i’ve watch it for the first time on mtv. it makes you really think about the situation in the world we live in. children die before they even have a chance to live, people suffer from diseases with no cure, people killing one another, suffer from injustice, children suffer from malnutrition and others live in ignorance due to lack of education.
we should make a difference, we should make a stand. let us think of all the people who are in need. in need of hope, of love, of care, of peace. we should give a little more and take a little less. we should fill the world with love and kindness instead of hate and fear. we should be more compassionate to everyone around us. some of us are just lucky that we have something to eat three times a day, a house to come home to, clothes to wear and have a chance to be educated. let us share our blessings to those people who are not so fortunate. with this together with God’s help, we can make the world a much better place to live in. God save Humanity.

text message…
it’s funny how a text message could make you think and inspire you and make you realize things you ought to realize. wow, medyo malalim! hehehe but it’s true kasi that happens to me. last week i received a text message from my cousin neneng hayds and it got me thinking for the whole week. let me share it to you, it’s just a quote but when i read it i internalize the message and reflect on it and that’s when i realize its true essence and its impact on my life. so here it is..
chance or choice?
-when you meet the right person to love at the right place at the right time, that’s a chance.
-when you meet someone you’re attracted to, that’s a chance too.
-being caught that there are many people out there who are more attractive, smarter, richer than your mate and yet you decide to love your mate just the same, that’s a choice.
attraction comes to us by chance.
but true love that lasts is truly a choice.
fate brings you together, but it’s still up to you to make it happen.
we may meet someone by chance but loving and staying to someone is a matter of choice.
when i read this, talaga naman napaisip talaga ako kasi i realize that it’s true. whatever the situation is or how complicated it may be, it is still up to you to make the decision whether you make it more complicated or you will find the correct path to make it better. maybe i’m speaking in codes here, or you may say that wtf is she talking about. naka-relate lang talaga ako sa message kasi very “appropos” xa sa whatever na nangyari sa akin this 2008. but that’s another story altogether which is better left untold for now. =p
so here’s another text message from my sister na very logical din naman…
when you’re out there looking for the right person, keep this in mind:
-people change no matter how hard they try not to.
-as you grow older, you mature and with each new level of maturity comes different ideas, different needs and wants.
-the person who was perfect for you at 18 could be the person you hate at 25 or 30.
-you have to find someone who will grow with you, change with you, laugh with you and cry with you.
-a person who fills in where you lack.
-remember that there’s no such perfect person in this world, but there will always be someone who will complete you.
maybe i’m just a hopeless romantic or emotera but this message stop me from being a perfectionist when it comes to love. haaaaaay….may you also find and received text messages that will inspire you! =)
