Pondering about Life from a Window Seat

I happened to accidentally ride an air-conditioned bus this 12 midnight. It was a bit drizzling & chilly. I don't usually take the air-con for few reasons..first money wise & second I easily feel nauseous there. (esp if I watch TV inside)

but anyway I was already there so I had no choice. Kasya pa naman pamsahe ko. I hate it when they use their TV's inside. I get to be tempted to watch as well..even though it makes me so dizzy.

The movie 2012 was playing...I couldn't help but keep glancing at the idiot box. I was more drawn to it when it was playing the EARTH's destruction starting from California.



As I was watching it...I have reflected on myself & my lifestyle. If I'm ready for such thing. I have planned a lot. I have avoided 'worldly' things to just stay focused on y goals. As a result I ended up a bit loner & indifferent to a lot of things. I am deprived of everything fun. I have asked myself if those sacrifice are worthy. and it was undoubtedly NO! NOT!




I have also realized that surely everything will come to an end. I have pondered deeply about life inside the bus while everybody was enjoying it.

When it was time for me to disembark I was genuinely grateful to GOD that I was setting my foot steps on to a solid concrete street.I was also a little surprised at myself.(coz you know in the movie...the streets were totally smashed to pieces.)

so there. Thank you Lord for the life you gave me. I may not be able to fully justify my existence but I am working hard on it.

.panganib.

Minsan..alam na natin ang panganib sa palagid pero iba pa rin talaga pag naranasan o muntikan mo nang maranasan.Nakakatrauma.tsk.tsk.

A Treat for my Parents!!

My family is planning to spend the Christmas & New Year here in Manila. My father, mother & 4 other younger siblings will come to our newly rented house.

I've been thinking of something to gift my parents...and SPA suddenly came to mind. At first I was only planning to treat my Mom & myself but my sister suggested that I bring along my father.

magtatampo daw yun!

tama!

kapag tumatanda na talaga..mas nagiging matampuhin. Just like the last time I gave my mom a perfume. My father surprisingly asked for his 'gift' din!

Of course it came as a surprise coz my father is not really that kind of person..so pinagbigyan ko na lang din..muntikan na kong di makbalik ng Manila nun.(halos nasimot pera ko)

anyway...so SPA na nga!

My TL & another colleague experienced it so I inquired. They said it costed around 700 per person. It is in WENSHA in Roxas Boulevard. So kung tatlo kami..di kakayanin ng budget. Kaya sila na lang. sabi ko I'll just wait in the reception area.

So I started doing a research & below are what I've got.

ang hinagpis ng isang mapagmalaking kapatid.

Last Sunday my older sister & I had a row.

Maldita kasi ako! Tamad kasi siya!

It was just because as task I ask her to do.

by the way..my older sister & my younger brother are now living with me.
In short ako nagpapakain sa kanila & all..ako din lahat. AKo na isang simpleng working student lamang.

Kaya kadalasan di umaabot ang sahod ko bago ang sunod na salary day.

kaya ayun madalas ko sila nasisisi sa mga misfortune ko.
sabi ko, kung di ko lang siguro sila obligasyon...nagawa ko na lahat ng gusto kong gawin.

alam mo yun..di ako ang panganay pero parang ako ang tumatayong panganay. So sa lahat ng desisyon nasasapawan ko ang ate ko. At mas paborito din ako ng parents ko dahil sa matino ko daw na mga diskarte...kaya alam ko lahat ng karapatan...pribilehiyo ng isang panganay..pati na rin responsibilidad nasa akin na.


balik sa Last Sunday..

Last Sunday...uminit ulo ko..dahil sa isang task na pinagawa ko. Siguro I sounded so bossy kaya nagalit din siya. natapakan ang ego.

mali ko din.

ayun nag-way kami..nailabas ko din ang mga hinanakit ko...

like now supposedly last semester na ng college life ko..pero di pa din ako enrolled!

kasi panggastos na lang sa bahay.

almost 1 year ko na sila tinutulungan magkawork.
nagkawork nga sila pero di naman nagtatagal..so balik sakin...at hanap uli sila ng work, tulad ng sitwasyon ngayon.

naisumbat ko sa kanya lahat!! at alam ko ang sakit ko talagang magsalita. lalo pa yung mga salitang yun sa nakatatanda mong kapatid bibitawan??? hay naku..todo iyak siya. sabi ko sayo my words strike like a double-edged sword! sapul ang ego ng isang insecure, jobless older sister.

ako na si naging mayabang at mapagmalaki.

I know masama ako.

after nun she even attempted go astray! nakaready na siya..nagpupulbo na lang. sige pa din ako sa 'panenermon'

"kaya di ka magtrabaho kasi ganyan ugali mo." --- isa sa mapagmalaki kong pahayag.

The thought of my penniless sister walking the streets with her maleta haunted me. alam ko nipiso wala siya.

Ako ang talo sa mga ganitong pagkakataon kapag nakipagmatigasan ako. At ayun! The strong & cold facade I've put up suddenly melted down...buhos ang luha sa bahay.naiyak din ako! ano pa nga ba? tao lang din ako.

pagkatapos nun...inaya ko siyang kumain at nagSORRY ako.

not for the words I've mentioned (coz I know they are true) but for the manner I've uttered them.

She looked pathetic in my eyes..and I know the only way she can redeem herself from this kind of judgment my parents & I have for her is to have a decent job. I think through that..she'll be able to reclaim her title. And I'm trying hard to help her with that.

I just wish this works out pretty well.

Birthday Quotes

A lot of my colleagues celebrate their birthdays in November...so we all made different messages & collectively put in one form as a gift. However,It seemed like everyday a paper is rolling..which should immediately be filled in..So I had no choice but to rely on the Internet..

so here..I compiled some from different websites...



1. “How do you expect me to remember your birthday, when you never look any older? happy birthday!”





2. You think your special JUST because its your birthday today….
no way you’re special every day!!!

3. "You are only young once, but you can be immature for a lifetime."

4. "Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional."

5. Somebody told me yesterday, that that day was your birthday
But I decided to greet you today
You are so especial to me
And I need to greet you in a special way.
Happy Birthday

6. Birthdays are like boogers, the more you have the harder it is to breathe.

7. We know we're getting old when the only thing we want for our birthday is not to be reminded of it.

8. You're another year older and another year wiser
So put your brain to work
And figure out there ain't no gift for you.

9. Two tips on your birthday:
a) Forget the past, you can't change it.
b.) Forget the future, you can make it.
c.) Forget the present, I didn't get you one.

10. You're not old until you can't read this writing anymore. (written in real small text)

11. Inside every older person is a younger person -
wondering what the hell happened.
- Cora Harvey Armstrong

'Imortal' Mode!

I'm not very fond of teleseryes.

Basta kahit anong TV show na Filipino-made.

(sama ko no?)

feeling ko kasi ang corny eh!

Yuck!

sabi ko nga dati.

BUT..

I came across this one episode of "Imortal' which is now leading the prime time slot.

and..BLAM!!!

that's the start!

I am enamored.

addicted..

..hooked..with it!

I like the plot..although it is somewhat similar to Eclipse. You know..vampires against werewolves story..but this just really appeals to my taste.





I like the character of Rico Blanco here.



He adds color to the story.parang kakaiba lang.

I plan to post here the trailer or link for the episodes.this wekeend promise! I will!

nga pala if you are inetersted the watch complete episodes..I will put the link din this wekeend. Sa YOUTUBE lang ako nanonood...di ko na kasi yun maabutan pagdating ko ng bahay from work!

so that would be all for now!

Friday Friday na!!

although I don't have something really special to look forward to I'm still happy!

I'll have my part-time job tomorrow. trainor (daw?)

..sometimes I interview applicants from this little known office...It's challenging.

Happy Weekend guys!

Personality Quiz!

This is so nice..I think this is the the most accurate on line personality quiz I've tried. I've seen this from someone's blog & I totally forgot the name. Diko siya nafallow ata eh!



This is what it says about me. And honestly I agree with 85% of it.

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.

(I think so?)

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

(TOMO!)

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?

(no idea if this is true!)

Your views on education

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

(so TRue!)

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.

(perhaps)

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.

(indeed!)

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.

(yeah that's me)

Quote 001
