My Sweetest Surprise

  • Sep. 26th, 2009 at 8:07 PM

Love has a funny and surprising way of coming up at the most unexpected places and unexpected time. I find myself getting wrapped up over an idea of a person again... it's been years now since the last time I have this kind of feelings for another person....All of a sudden, this person is in my life and I’m in unfamiliar territory again. Funny how fast events can turn your life around. Not more than 7 months ago I was happily living my monotonous life. But something, no someone, then happened. This particular someone came into my life as a friendly companion and a real chum. It never came to me that we will be together in a romantic way. He used to cheer me up when I am down. Someone who is always there to lend a helping hand. In no less than 3 months of constant togetherness in out of town trips, the way we shared our time together and when he told me that he like me got me thinking, “How come I like this feeling?” I thought if I just ignored that particular question, it’ll just go away. But no, it did not. It got worse. It became a nagging question that constantly pops out of nowhere at any given time. I thought, “Hey its ok. Just enjoy the feeling while it’s there.” My life was colorful again. Just because of the new feeling this someone brought to me. It’s starting to consume me, the whole me. But that's what we do, right? Everyone wants love. Everybody, including me.

This someone made me feel very special, well-appreciated, and most of all made me feel that I was cared for. Everyday was wonderful whenever that person was around. This is new to me because usually I am the one taking care of the other person not the other way around. How special was I with this person? For him I am a warm blanket in the freezing cold... A refreshing drink in a blistering heat and a flower in a bloom. The constant SMS just to check my whereabouts. If I'm doing okay and making sure that I am safe. We spent more time together during weekends. Watching movies, do some errands or just stay home doing your laundry.  That’s how special the feeling was. It was like walking in clouds especially when you told me that you love me and this "I don't know how long this will last but I hope I could stay with you a little longer. I enjoy every minute that I'm with you and I hope that I was able to make you happy. I could not promise to be the best friend or partner for you but I will take care of you as long as I can. I'll do everything just to keep you safe."  This is what I really want long time ago.

I want you to know that I appreciate you, everything what you have done for me. Because you are such an important part of my life, I just had to let you know how much you really mean to me. I want you to stay with me longer. You may never know how important you are to me or how much I care for you, but you are and you will always be. For once in my life, I don't have to try to BE HAPPY, when I'm with you, it just happens...  I may not be saying this everyday but I want to thank you for all that you do! Having you in my life... Makes everything so special & beautiful!

To that somebody I Love You too!

 You are my sweetest surprise……

 

Flirt and behave seductively....

  • Apr. 8th, 2009 at 1:08 AM

 

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

 

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

 

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

 

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

 

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

 

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

 

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

 

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

 

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

My Heart's Silent Scream

  • Apr. 4th, 2009 at 10:59 PM

Things began to creep into my mind. I am uncertain of what will happen and where it will gonna take us. I guess its a human thing to feel this way. I don't want any complications in my life now.


Don't mess with my feelings and stop fooling around!

Summer Getaway

  • Mar. 1st, 2009 at 1:42 PM

Summer is here... You can feel the heat on your skin like a burning fire. This is the best time to go to the beach and enjoy the waters... swim... get some tan and be sexy. Last weekend officially started my Summer of '09. This time around I'm with Sha, Tinay, Juliet, Romz, Blayde, Jon, Arnel, Lambert and Jopet. We left Ortigas around 2 am and arrived San Antonio by 6 am. We had breakfast while waiting for the market to open to buy food that we can bring to the island.  We rented a boat that will bring us to Anawangin Cove and island hopping the following day. The boat's motor roared as we ripped through the waves along rocky parts of Zambales' coastline. It felt good to be out of the dark, and it felt even better as a cool ocean mist sprayed on my skin under the heat of the glorious sunshine. We were on the way to a place called Anawangin Cove.


 


Anawangin Cove is a crescent shaped cove with a pristine white sand beach. What makes the place unique is the unusual riddle of tall pine trees flourishing round its vicinity. There are no roads leading to Anawangin. It is only accessible by a 30 minute boat ride from Pundaquit, San Antonio, Zambales or by a six-hour trek through hot, open trails thru the Pundaquit range. Behind the beach is the pine forest and a marsh, where one can find natural springs feeding to the sea. The sand in Anawangin Cove is mainly Mt. Pinatubo lahar. The pine trees, (actually Agoho trees) did not exist in the area before the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. Looks like the ash fall somehow brought with it Agoho seeds as well and they grew into the forest we see at Anawangin today.
 


The Beach.  White sand.  Pine trees.  Cool water.  This is the perfect scene to lounge around, read a book, or watch the sunset.  There’s also a marsh in the Cove streamlining to a mountain for photoshoot.



It wasn't the typical tropical beach found in the Philippines. Instead, it was filled with tall evergreen trees, though not necessarily pine trees as I saw no pine combs. Mountains surrounded the enclave, and so it appeared to be a valley. A fresh water stream ran through the center of the place.

No electricity... no resort... You have to set up your own tent if you're planning to stay overnight.


I fell in love at this place instantly :)


Sunset is gorgeous


One great weekend


Next stop.... Pagudpud!

Enjoy your Summer.... Be Safe!




Wedding on Valentines day

  • Feb. 14th, 2009 at 11:34 PM

I celebrated Valentines day with my Dell Friends. It's Genie and Ramil's wedding day. I thank God for this wonderful event because it's a busy day for me. No time for reminiscing my 2 past Valentines and be sad. I'm part of the Wedding Entourage as Secondary Sponsor together with Francis. Don, John and Eric were also part of it. It became some sort of a reunion for us. Mommy Joyce and Vince were also present. I started the day early than the usual and went to the Parlor as early as 10 A.M and done by 2 P.M. The wedding is held at Manila Cathedral. The church is nice. It is very solemn and I cried again.  I remember this is where Gabby and Sharon tied the knot and got separated eventually. I  wish Genie and Ramil a lifetime of happiness. 



John, Chai and Don

Food... Yummy!!!

2009 is year of the OX

  • Jan. 1st, 2009 at 1:47 AM

2009 year of the ox predictions for the Horse (1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990) should be prepared as his luck would go to both extremes in the year of the Ox. Lucky stars shining on him in 2009 would be able to help him achieve success in his career, however some unlucky stars are also shining that could bring him tragedies and difficulties. These difficulties he should all pass before he will be able to taste the fruits of his hard work.

One lucky star that has influence on his work and career is the lucky star Jiang Xing. This star represents bravery, stamina and persistence in achieving success. This star also signifies better social status and leadership skills, which would benefit the Horse who is involved in the upper management, disciplinary teams and key positions in large corporations. They can expect satisfactory performance this year.

The star Di Lie could bring the Horse major problems, but with the help of influential people he would be able to face all the problems and solve them. Another star, Di Jie signifies moving. This could mean a new house for the Horse, a new real estate or new furniture.

Bai Fu is a star that signifies animal bites, Horses who have pets or who are working closely with animals are advised to take extra caution. Another interpretation for the star Bai Fu is a woman without sense who might bring great annoyance to the Horse.

One star that means good luck in wealth and career is the star Jin Gui. However the Horse and his family members might suffer poor health and injury on limbs and some teeth problems. Overall, the Horse can expect to make progress in the year of the Ox, as he can also look to have some changes in his environment. However, special attention should be given to his own physical and mental health and he also need to take care of his family members.

 

December 31, 2008

  • Dec. 31st, 2008 at 8:17 PM

It is the last day of the year. It’s been a good year for me. There are ups and downs but I was able to survive all of them.




I have a lot of things that I want to do for the last time.

 

1.        To pretend that I am happy when I’m not.

2.        Holding on to the things that I need to let go.

3.        Stay up late surfing the net.

4.       Care about those people who do not even care about me at all.

5.        Being nice all the time.

6.       Cry because of the past.

7.        Missing Kuya.

 

And the list goes on…..

 

Goodbye 2008 and Hello 2009.

Hoping to have a wonderful year!!!!!

 

Be Safe.

Blackberry for Christmas

  • Nov. 23rd, 2008 at 7:10 PM

 And you thought the iPhone was expensive? You obviously haven't heard of the BlackBerry Bold. You can now have the BlackBerry Bold for no less than 53,000 monies here in the Philippines. Pretty expensive J This, of course, is because the device features one of the most comfortable QWERTY keyboards to type on, support for BlackBerry-related services and a lot of other useful smartphone functions -- like HTML web browsing, built-in GPS, 1GB internal memory and 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi. The BlackBerry Bold is currently being sold unlocked and SIM-free, and Gadget Grocery offers free delivery within the Metro Manila area. Sweeeet….. I wanna have one… Christmas gift for myself…. Not bad…

Merry Xmas Chai!

Penelope

  • Oct. 22nd, 2008 at 8:35 PM



 
A kindly aristocrat suffering from an unsightly curse breaks free from her extravagant, prison-like estate to seek adventure and discover her true self in a romantic, modern-day fairy tale directed by Mark Palansky and starring Christina RicciJames McAvoy,Peter Dinklage, and Reese Witherspoon. Generations ago, a witch placed a curse on the Wilhelm family that would result in the next girl being born into the clan having a porcine snout -- and now young Penelope (Ricci) has fallen victim to the vengeful hag's unsightly grudge. When tabloid reporter Lemon (Dinklage) runs a misleadingly frightening photograph of the kind-hearted Penelope, her parents, Jessica (Catherine O'Hara) and Franklin (Richard E. Grant), lock the girl away in a sprawling mansion. Though it is said that the curse can be lifted if a man of Penelope's status takes her hand in marriage, every man who lays eyes on the girl takes flight at first sight, never to return -- until the arrival of Max (McAvoy), that is. An unrepentant gambler with a heavy heart and an ulterior motive for meeting Penelope, Max is unexpectedly caught off guard by the pig-nosed girl's disarming charm, and suddenly flees before carrying out his nefarious plan. Now de.termined to throw caution to the wind and explore the world on her own terms, Penelope makes the acquaintance of independent-minded delivery girl Annie (Witherspoon), who fast agrees to join her newfound friend on the ultimate journey of self-discover.

Moral story is learn to love yourself more than anything else.




 
 
 
 

Twilight

  • Oct. 18th, 2008 at 6:08 PM

A friend gave me a complete set of the Twilight Series as a gift. Twilight is a young adult vampire/romance novel written by author Stephenie Meyer.  I really enjoyed this first in the series, Twilight, from Stephanie Meyer. I remember daydreaming about someone sweeping me away into a new world, because I was obviously too weird for the normal one. There are a lot of appealing things in this book, not only for teenage girls, but also for those of us who are a little older and wiser.

 I read all 4 books in a sweeping 5 days so of ignoring everything else. The second book – New Moon was my least favorite (although it was still quite good because I admire Jacob’s character).  I love Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. I’m anticipating the release of Midnight Sun-Edward’s version of Twilight.  So, if you end up feeling the same way, don't let it make you give up too soon...) Why did I love them? Aside from the fact that it was given to me by a very special friend, I guess because it was escapism, pure and simple.  Easy to follow, simple to understand.  Just good old-fashioned entertainment.  I can relate to it because once in my life I fell in love with someone….. I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him…

I can’t wait for the movie premiere of Twilight. I will not miss it for sure :)

Freedom

  • Sep. 17th, 2008 at 5:52 PM


This is the very day that I had my freedom! Free from all the pain.... from you... free from the shadows of the past.

E . R is back!

  • Sep. 15th, 2008 at 9:10 PM

It was a cloudy saturday afternoon.  Lot of things running on my mind. I don't know if seeing you again is the right thing to do. I don't want to argue with you coz you're very good at it. You always use your lawyer skills at me. As what we have agreed we need to settle this once and for all. I don't know what I'm feeling at that time. I'm having butterflies on my stomach. It's been two years with no communication at all. I never thought that we will see each other again. It's not an easy journey for the two of us. I don't know, a friend told me that maybe we are destined for each other. You keep on coming back.

There you are sitting on a couch, patiently waiting for me. Nothing has change. You still have that cute eyes and smile that I used to love. I said Hi and extend my hand. You didn't say any word and just embraced me so tight and whisper "I'm really sorry and God I miss you". I don't know what happened to me that time but I started crying.  You know me too well. You saw the loneliness that I was trying to hide and wants to show you that I am doing just fine. This time it is caused by somebody else and not you anymore. We talked about us. Lay all our cards on the table. Your plans haven't change a bit. After what happened not just with you but with somebody else recently, I am afraid to trust guys again. It's a good talk and we said goodbye....

There are some things in life we have to accept that it is OVER.

One Rainy-Sunny Sunday

  • Sep. 7th, 2008 at 8:53 PM

I woke up at 4 am just to get ready for our tree planting activity. I'm so excited because we will be planting narra seedling over the mountain. I have no idea on how the location looks like. All we know is that we need to walk an hour to get to the site. When we got there, I am just overwhelmed with the presence of the army reserve troupe with their armalites and caliber 45. It's like we will be going to a war against the terrorists lolz! We started walking and it's muddy and slippery but what do I have to expect? It' been raining early morning. It's adventurous at the same time because it's like the Survivors reality TV show :) During the course of the what we so called "Trekking"   I felt nausated, maybe due to lack of air. The trail is kind a small and it will only fit one person. Thanks to my mineral water and to Nicole (the 7 year old kid), I was motivated to continue climbing. At last after 2 hours of walking we finally reach the site. We did what we have to do...... Plant those Narra Seedlings!


The Narra Seedling that we named CACHAI....



Maybe Someday....

  • Sep. 2nd, 2008 at 6:39 PM

Love is a strong passion, and when one breaks a relationship it is sure to traumatize and affect the parties concerned. It is only through a period of great healing that one comes to terms with such an event. Then, if one can extend a hand of friendship, and be comfortable with an ex-lover, with no undercurrents of past hatred, longings, or memories to affect the friendship, one should go ahead. Otherwise, it may be wiser to just make a clean break and move on with one's life, and not connect again with an old flame.
Old boyfriends, old girlfriends, everyone has them in their past. But is there ever a time or place for them in your present? Some couples make a clean break. Others nasty. Some simply drift apart and without meaning to, lose touch - then realize one day that "it's been years since the last time they saw each other." And others still live close to one another and can't stop for eggs and milk at the local grocery without running into each other.
 
There's always the typical break-up line "But we can still be friends." But are you? And should you? And to make the question a little more complicated - what about when you're in a new relationship or even married? In such a scenario, meeting an old flame may not seem to be such a great event. Also, it will definitely bring back memories, and depending on the depth or seriousness of the relationship, create a flutter of sorts. It would be difficult to say that everything is over in a relationship. Hence, even if you feel that you can sustain a friendship with an old flame, it may be best to limit the degree of socializing or involvement because this may intrude upon or destroy your present relationship, howsoever understanding your new lover or spouse may be. Also, if you find that you are meeting this old flame on the sly, then it is definitely not friendship that you should cultivate again.

  Well - the argument against is pretty easy. "Why live in the past?" "Why bring temptation into your life?" "Why risk the new relationship for a person not good enough to stay with in the first place." Or even worse - one that thought you weren't good enough to stay with?  But is there always a risk? Is there always temptation? No. There are times when 2 people upon breaking up are still just friends. Obviously there was enough in common for the two people to date in the first place - so there should still be enough to stay friends.

   But what if your new love doesn't like the idea? (And this is what it really comes down to.)

   If your new relationship is really important to you - you should really respect their feelings. Jealousy isn't a good thing at all - but neither is continuing with something that you know makes your partner jealous. You just have to prioritize.

And if you're lucky enough to be with someone that isn't jealous at all - and doesn't mind your friendship with an ex? Is it OK then?


Not necessarily. In order to be "friends" - neither person can have any interest in the other beyond friendship. And you should have current common interests. If you're always talking about your past together - people you used to know - things you used to do - then you're not really friends. You're just 2 people trying to hold on to something that once meant a lot to you. Or even worse - keeping a "back-up" handy in case your new relationship doesn't work out.

It's pretty interesting any way you look at it. I know people who were together for years - have split up - and will most likely never see each other again. Not in purpose but they've just started completely new lives. And I know others who are separated - both have relationship with others - and both couples are the best of friends.

There's a part of most of us that might always wonder either "What could have been" or simply how the other is doing. Or simply want to re-establish the fact that we are much better off without so-and-so. But memory is a funny thing. It tends to remember only the good or only the bad - never a true rendition of the past. Which could be a danger when trying to establish a friendship with an ex.
 
Actually, every relationship that a man or woman once creates does remain part of their lives forever. It is simply impossible to get rid off people who have been once close to you. You can find hundreds of examples where ex-couples are in touch with each other despite one or both being in new relationships. In most of the cases, the conversation may be friendly or intimate, but it is not the same as between husband and wife. It can rather be compared to tête-à-tête between two old friends.

Maybe someday friendship may blossom between two ex couples... Give yourself time to heal.... move on and let go... Most importantly if both of you are ready to start a new friendship.
 
On the whole, an old flame is just an "old flame"- a relationship that has outlived its worth and is best left alone.

Just a thought

  • Aug. 26th, 2008 at 4:27 PM

If you can't forget someone... do not give yourself to anyone... Be brave enough to face that you are still not prepared. There is no such things as "panakip butas" but there is such thing called "UNFAIR". 

Love is always unfair to me anyways!

Confession

  • Aug. 10th, 2008 at 8:29 PM

In life there will come a time that you will get tired, physically and emotionally. When you get tired…. You’ll stop and rest for a while to have that energy back again. I’m looking forward for the time that I will get tired of you. So, when that time comes then I will stop. I want it soon. I’ve wasted so much time, effort and feelings. You have caused me so much pain. I want you out of my life…. Totally out of my life. No text messages, no emails, no phone calls….. No nothing! It’s like I never knew you at all. It seems to be easy said and done but it’s not. What’s wrong with me that can’t let you go? What’s keeping me holding on despite of everything that you have done to me I’m still here? I don’t understand why I’m still affected with all the things that involves you. I’m still worried if something goes wrong. I want to help you achieve what you want and makes sure that everything is doing well. Am I loving you too much? Am I loving you as much as I love myself?

When is the right time to say I had enough? When is the right time to say it is over? Sometimes you love too much and you forget about yourself. True enough the most noble thing is to love unconditionally but when is the right time to quit? Sometimes you just want to quit when things start hurting you or you want to leave things as it is before the pain get even worse but still you don't want to give up.. you still hold on because you believe in your heart that he will keep his promises. That someday everything will be the same again.

 

 Obviously, we’re not meant to be. I took the risk and I lost. You are happy and I’m miserable. I loved you unconditionally and I don’t have regrets. Because of you I discovered that I am capable of loving that much.

 

 I have a confession to make, you are my first love……

Get Together

  • Jul. 30th, 2008 at 12:25 AM

Happy Day

  • Jul. 27th, 2008 at 11:09 PM

I hit the big three-zero.... I realized i've been here for 3 decades already. I have a lot to be grateful for. I've been blessed with so many things. I just have to learn to count my blessings. I started my special day with a mass. We went to Divine Mercy in Marilao, Bulacan. That same day is the feast of St. James the Apostle. My mom prepared some food for merienda. It's funny because all my visitors are my inaanak :)... I felt that I'm really getting old hahahaha. Then the following day we went to Grotto Vista with the Ocampo Clan for July birthday celebrants.  I had a lot of accidents, my shoulder locked again and got a lot of bruises.. but It was really fun. Too bad a had to leave early because I need to meet my friends for dinner. I'm lucky to have true friends. I'm really surprised because almost everyone is present although there is one missing :(  We may not see that often but i know that they loved me that much. They are the best things in my life. A friend told me why keep on chasing the leaves when I can reach for the stars? I deserve to be happy. 

Thank you for all the greetings and the gifts..
