one year na!

One year na kami! =)

Hay it was a fun day. I just realized how true it is when people say na it's not how you celebrated it but, what matters most is spending that day with the one you love. We had a somewhat fancy lunch, saw a movie and had dinner.

Hay it was a wonderful and blessed year. I love you baby! I'm looking forward to spending more anniversaries with you. Thank you for sharing everything with me. Thank you for being so patient and understanding. Thank you for allowing me to come into your life. Thank you for showing every single day how much you love me. I can never stop thanking the Lord for giving you to me. I love you! =)

I am officially a PINOY BIG BROTHER fan! As in kahit mapuyat ako every night eh I watch it. I'm not sure how it happened. It just did. Haha! Drama! Seriously, I just had the chance to watch two consecutive episodes almost a month ago and I was completely smitten. I can't stop watching it. I was suddenly involved in the lives of the housemates. My personal favorite is the JB and Say love team. Too bad JB was evicted na last night. Sobrang I feel for Say. Yung nasanay kayo na magkasama everyday then all of a sudden mawawalan ng communication or di magkikita. Hay I can totally relate. Anyway, buti na lang the cutie pie Sam came along. Ang cute grabe!!!! The smile.... haayyyy!!! Pang Close-up talaga!

Official LSS song ko din ang PINOY AKO by Orange and Lemons for the past weeks. Ang catchy ng song. Finally a catchy song with sense! I like the lyrics, especially this part...

Lahat tayo mayroon pagkakaiba madalang makikita na
Ibat ibang kagustuhan ngunit iisang patutunguhan
Gabay at pagmamahal ang hanap ko
Pagbibigay ng halaga sa iyo
Nais mong ipakilala kung sino ka man talaga?

Kaya I feel sad when I hear people judging the people inside. I'm not trying to defend what they did lalo na nung welcome party for Sam pero who are we to judge diba? We're not there 24 hours and we're not the one stuck inside diba? I'm sure they will realize what they did once they get out of the house. Pero ako I blame the editing. They should still protect the people inside eh and be careful with what they show specially sa prime time. They can make it less shocking naman eh, knowing how conservative the Filipino audience is. ( or they TRY to look conservative). Again, nililinaw ko lang po... I'm not saying what they did was right. I just wish people would stop judging them and their families (especially their parents) for what they did.

So what makes Pinoy Big Brother click? As Toni Gonzaga would say at the end of every show... ito ang teleserye ng totoong buhay! It mirrors who we really are and the people around us in real life. Sabi nga ng friend ko.. ang Pilipino likas na chismoso! Mahilig makialam sa buhay ng may buhay! And what can be more fun than seeing other people's lives on national television diba?

Call me jologs or baduy... number one fan pa rin ako ni Kuya! and ni SAM! =P

blog update

I was not able to update my blog last week kasi early shift ako sa work. Hay kakapagod ang early shift! I have to be at the office by 7 AM! Pero I can go home by 430, not! Ang hirap kaya umuwi ng 430. Unang una na nakakahiya tumayo at umalis ng ganun kaaga. Pangalawa, ang mga task may tendency mag build up in the afternoon which is weird. Well that's Accenture culture for you, flexi time kasi eh.

Anyway, last saturday we celebrated my best friend Apol's birthday in their house. It's been three years since she went to the US but still her mom, Tita Nenette, would never fail to invite us, her high school barkada to have a small party in their house. Ang saya grabe. Ang laki laki na ng mga inaanak ko! Every year din may new baby. This year it's Apol's turn. She gave birth to a cute baby boy Christopher (aka TopTop)last December. Sayang lang na she's in the states kaya nag webcam na lang kami to see the baby.

Last Wednesday night naman I had dinner with some of my college friends. Ay teka baka magtampo... my bestest (i don't think there's such a word) friends from college. We had dinner sa Krocodile in Street scape sa Shang. We were laughing all night as we try to reminisce the last time we did this last year. Nagpaalam kami sa mga parents namin na we will all meet for dinner na... inabot ng breakfast! We went home around 4 am na. The stores were closing on us na sa eastwood. I can't believe na we were just talking and drinking the whole night. Kaya ayun, kahit na we're all in our 20's na eh grounded pa din kami the next day. This time though it was different. We started dinner at around 8 pm and ended at 10:30. well kasi we have work pa the next day. As I have mentioned, early shift ako! Plus tawa pa kaming tawa when we realized na all of us prepared for this dinner. SOme of us took coffee or slept early the night before. Hay nako tumatanda na! And ayun we imagined na the next time we'll see each other eh we'll talk about our health na and we'll be sharing tips on arthritis and doctors. We'll be soon ordering milk .. anlene gold take note! Hahaha! Hay sabi nga namin from dawsons creek to melrose place to GOLDEN GIRLS! Hindi man lang dumaan sa sex and the city or desperate housewives. Haha! Which is not good ha! =P

Ayun lang. That was my week. Sa work nothing much happened except that we miss Bossing terribly. Unang unang issue ko ng Monday morning eh related to a previous enhancement na he supervised. Hay.

Anyway, tomorrow's our first anniverary na ni Chuck. I am so excited. :) We were not able to prepare much this year. Busy kasi with work plus hard times eh. Kakatapos lang ng mga birthdays kaya butas pa ang mga bulsa! Haha! Bawi kami next time.

last day ni bossing

We will miss you Bossing!

See you in Singapore! (oops! joke lang!)

I am A Christian

For the times we forget what being a true believer of Christ should be...

I AM A CHRISTIAN

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting, “I am saved!”
I’m whispering, “I get lost!
That’s why I chose this way.”

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don’t speak with human pride
I’m confessing that I stumble-
Needing God to be my guide

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not trying to be strong
I’m professing that I’m weak
And pray for strength to carry on

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not bragging of success
I’m admitting that I’ve failed
And cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don’t think I know it all
I submit to my confusion
Asking humbly to be taught.

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I ‘m not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are all too visible
But God believes I’m worth it.

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartache,
Which is why I seek His name.

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I do not wish to judge
I have no authority…
I only know I am loved.

Ever After (Eric Kupper's Beach Mix)
By: Bonnie Bailey
From: Hed Kandi - Beach House 04.04



Three years ago, our journey began
Chasing down this cure, no plan in hand
Just your pulse, my racing guide in the dark
Just knowing with conviction from the start

The moment your eyes made an introduction
I felt my second violent breath of life
Flawless to the point of being godly
Yet I fell hard for your imperfections

And now we're slightly weathered, we're slightly worn
Our hands grip together, eye to eye through the storm, yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeahhhhh
Cuz life is a pleasure with you by my side,
And there ain't no current in this river we can't ride
I still believe in ever after with you

Nothing compares to the good times
Feels like we're floating, when the rest have to climb
You made me believe in love, and not the perfect kind
A real messy beautiful twisted sunshine
Emotions, volcanic eruptions
We both still care, so we're still alive
Tunnel vision, determinationI want you, I want to make it right

And now we're slightly weathered, we're slightly worn
Our hands grip together, eye to eye through the storm, yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeahhhhh
Cuz life is a pleasure with you by my side,
And there ain't no current in this river we can't ride
I still believe in ever after with you

You are my twisted sunshine
You are my twisted sunshine

And now we're slightly weathered, we're slightly worn
Our hands grip together, eye to eye through the storm, yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeahhhhh
Cuz life is a pleasure with you by my side,
And there ain't no current in this river we can't ride
I still believe in ever after with you

And now we're slightly weathered, we're slightly worn
Our hands grip together, eye to eye through the storm, yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeahhhhh
Cuz life is a pleasure with you by my side,
And there ain't no current in this river we can't ride
I still believe in ever after with you

my week verse

My week's verse...

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:30-31

walang ganyan sa states

I cannot believe we spent 3 hours in traffic almost everyday last week. EDSA was at it’s worst and even C5 was not spared. It was the usual traffic that was just made worse by yet again another anti-GMA rally. In the middle of this ordeal we opted to listen to AM radio for a radio telecast of TV Patrol. We can’t help but be more irritated by reports on what happened on congress that day and the press release of people concerned and those appearing to be “concerned” (aka nakikisawsaw). But what made my day and really made me laugh was a comment about Jolina. Apparently, Fr. Reyes was calling for people to boycott anything that has to do with those people who support the President and this includes, yes, Jolina Magdangal. Poor girl. Anyway, what made us laugh were the comments of the people in the rally when they heard about this. They said that they do not agree that Jolina should be included in this and that she’s their idol and they cannot boycott her. Hay! Only in the Philippines! And as my boyfriend would always say after coming back from Chicago… Walang ganyan sa States!
