2012 Year Ender : Unchangeable, Unworkable.

Here I am, writing a blog about change at 5 o'clock in the morning. I've been prepping myself up for this very moment I can write about my 2012, and talk about CHANGE and how much everybody loves the word. There are a lot of things that happened the past year that made me who I am today, and for a change, I decided not to give an overview about it. If someone asks me -- "looking back, what are the things you thought you might do better in the past?" I will answer -- "Given the chance to go back, I will do ALL of it again, the same way I did it..." I'm not saying that I've done things perfect, in fact it was not at all. But these imperfections, made me a better person today and they moved me. So the next time I almost fall for the same mistake, I know exactly the path it will turn about. That's when The Unchangeable and the Unworkable takes HIS place. This 2013, I would like to uphold to this bible verse:   Numbers 23:19 (NIV) God is not a ma

Christmas in a child's eyes

When I was younger, Christmas for me is the time I get to spend time with my loving  family, beloved cousins and relatives I rarely see within a year. Growing up, I continue to live up to that yearly Christmas ritual without expecting any material things from them. I'm not being a hypocrite when I say "I'm not expecting anything material from them " but its the last thing that comes up in my mind. The First, is the wonderful feeling of being with my cousins and spend time with them which only happens on a limited occasion-- one of which is CHRISTMAS day. Now that I grew older I see Christmas in a different light. Somehow, the innate child in me was unraveled  as I think of the things that would make my gab happy. My happiness is somehow intertwined with my child's as if it is my own. Having gab in my life if the most wonderful gift CHRIST has ever given me. And I will forever be grateful as I continue to see the upcoming Christmas the way a child sees it.

Dear Gab-- mama's love letter

October 15, 2012 4:30 PM- MNL Dear Gabby ,  Today I finished making your Notebook #1 ( for the 3rd time ) I don't see any problems buying another notebook and lots of white bond paper and art materials ( I enjoyed doing it, just so you know :) ) As long as you use your notebook the way it is meant to be used.  I remember the very first notebook we made was all sweaty with water when you came home from school.. only to find out, that you pour out water all over your bag. I bought another set of notebooks, bond papers, colored papers and plastic cover ( including  a new school bag and separate lunch box so as to separate your baon from your school things ).  The second Notebook #1 , was eventually filled with lots of notes that you copied from the blackboard ( good job!) But I do sincerely hope that there'll be a big improvement with your hand writing though.. ** with further practice, I'm sure you can write smaller letters.  Unfortunately, we have to replace t

Memoirs -- A smile with friends.

I never imagined myself being with a group of people who can fill out the missing pieces a loving partner used to give me. There is a sense of contentment whenever I'm with these people-- they were my BREAKFAST TEAM . Since dragon days, everyday had been a tug of whether to go to work or not , or to resign or not to resign . Every working day itself is the most challenging part of my everyday work life. Deciding whether to go out for a quick break or not makes it more harder. The exciting part? comes in when we find our way to make it through our yosi break- con- 30 minute lunch break together even though some of us has lots of emails to respond to, an internal call, conference call, activations. Escalations??-- Who the heck cares? sneaking out with friends for a quick laugh during yosi breaks is one of the few things I look forward to every single day I go to work. LAUGHTER - has been my perfect breather. There were times when I cant afford to go downstairs to avail of that Q

Life Realization -- thank you bob marley!

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for

Not my ordinary love song.

And I will love you all my life, for You are my reason.. the one that I live for.. And I will love you all my life, for You are my reason.. You're the one that I live for.. (from the sone ALL MY LIFE) Today, this love song keeps on playing in my head and heart just cant stop pouring out with tears of joy. When I listened to this song, its like listening to a love song I once sang to an EX during those days of butterflies and kisses. This time, singing this love song for HIM somehow provides flashbacks that resulted to a greatful heart because HE was with me all along, infact HE never dared leave. I kept on saying Gabby is one of my reasons for living, Well this song reminded me, that the HE is indeed the only reason I live. I thank God for this love song. :)

I chose happiness

today, i choose to be happy and free myself with guilt and hatred. i choose not to think of those who are a pain in the ass and refused to be bothered by their selfish acts. instead, i choose to think of those people who stayed kind amidst my selfish acts, those whom i believe deserve better attention, respect and love. today i choose to be happy and will crawl my way to reach out to that much deserved solace in life. :) -written from my iphone. thinking of you before i sleep :)
