-=Acceptance=-

Ever been in love with someone, gave all your trust but only to be betrayed in the end?

Some people say that the person is not worth the love and you just have to move on but some people will say that you have to accept it and it happens for a reason then you move on and hoping to love and be love again.

It’s actually difficult when you don’t see or fully understand that “reason”, and more difficult as it brings so much pain and suffering and even more difficult as you find it unfair…

Acceptance takes time, and when the right time comes, I know I'll have that peace of mind

-=Boracay Get-Away=-

This is indeed a very late post, way back several months...

The trip was planned July 2008, when 8 happy-go-lucky people (Jen - the organizer, Anna - the confused, Ces - the broken hearted, Martin - the gym buff and Darrel - the come what may, Kiko, Crissy and Carm - the late decider) decided to go the paradise island of the Philippines, Boracay and they say the rest is a happy history...

25 Sep - 28 Sep 2008

Bonding with Jenny

-=New Hairdo=-

Its been more than a month since my last post in my blog.... so what's new with life?

Last mid Sep, I had my long hair cut short - shoulder length with bangs =)

I now love it short as it is easy to maintain saving money from conditioner and shampoo, faster to dry saving a lot of time and best of all.. I look younger on my hairdo

-=Happy Birthday Mom=-

10 Sep 2008. It's my mom's birthday today. I love you so much and thank you for everything.. May you have good health, long life and ever lasting happiness

-=CM Outing=-

Night of the Outing (L-R: Harp, Begay, Me, Anna and Abby)

Food (Liempo, Lechon Manok and Fish)

Pool - Day time

Ready to go (L-R: Gelo, Begay, Anna and Me

Its been awhile (like a month) since I had an entry to this blog, I was even single - living my happy-go-lucky life and keeping myself busy, having sleepless nights/gimmicks just to be tired and the last time I had an outing with my office friends was during our Tagaytay overnight get-away and recently was at Laguna with couple of office friends from the CM team

Whew! Time flies so fast and a lot of things/changes happened. I had only few pictures during the outing but it was good as I got the chance to know some of the people from the office whom I never had the chance to speak with.

Till the next outing.....

-=Lesson from Days=-

We are born to LOVE....

We lived not for ourselves but for others. I know God place me in your life, for me to love you and make you happy. I am now doing my best to fulfill it. He knows our past, our present and future.

"If love hurts, then love some more, if love hurts some more, then love even more, if love hurts even more... then love till it hurts no more...."

The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference

When time comes that love won't be enough and we need to part ways again, I'll be thankful that in my life I have met you... and may you be happy always

Those are some of the lessons I learned from Days, the unusual retreat I had attended last month.

Thanks to everyone, who took time and sends me their "love" letter. I felt special and loved by many people

-=Tagaytay Fever=-

Morning shot of the house

What is the best thing to do during first day of the month??? Definitely go on a get-away!!! and the nearest place to be is "Tagaytay"

We are actually lucky as Eymard, one of our IT has a nice rest house there

Despite the rainy and foggy weather, no one can stop us from pursuing our long time planned trip

It's definitely even fun to be with friends who are there with you during tough times of your life, for that I am very thankful else you might find me in the basement

Time strikes 5:40pm and everyone hurried to get out of the office straight to the grocery to buy food and stuffs....

Before going to our destination we had our dinner at at Festival Mall, then off we went

After 1 and half joy ride, here we arrive at Eymard's Mansion

Arrival

Great Food + Inuman + Kwentuhan = Fun. Fun.Fun.

Great Food

Inuman
Kwentuhan

Fun.Fun.Fun


We even made our own version our PBB dance
(watch it!)

Everyone was exhausted, I even got a sore throat from laughing

Can't wait till the next office outing and am now am counting the days till I wear my silver bikini (wink)

-=Decisions=-

Life is full of decisions

We don't even know if the decision we will make is right or wrong until we already face the consequences

We should never regret making them because it was what we wanted and it was what we thought that would make us happy

And I realize lately that decisions are made based on happiness....

Perhaps my decision is right because I am happy even if it hurts

-=A Sweet Compliment=-

I felt my hair was so long this morning as I received a short sweet compliment from the guy who broke my heart....

Torturing or flattering?

Whatever it may be.... it made me smile today but...

Text Message from Begay...

Of all the lies I have heard.... "I love you" is my favorite....

-=An Unexpected Message=-

I just created a new friendster account for me to view my friend's pictures, I was in great shock when I had a profile view from the "unexpected" though the world is just small for both us.. it should always be expected.

After a call with Anna, my heart skipped when I saw a message from a number i wanted to forget....

It was a short message showing some concern and sadness.

Do not worry about me as I am doing and trying to be well, since the painful day you have chosen her over me, i have to learn to be independently on my own.

Yes, it is sad to know that you can't be friends to the only person you treated as a family for 2 years. Maybe not now, let time subside first my feelings for you and let time heal the pain inside me and we may never know someday... we will be friends

I admit I missed you and I missed your family too..

I hope you will keep your promise to be happy with the decision you have made. I have let go for you to find your true happiness

-=Fortune Cookie=-

Its been exactly 1 month since Anna and Gene had our fortune cookie

Here's what I got

" Be glad that you were so busy since you will receive the results and rewards from your efforts"

-=Backtrack of Events=-

Its been 22 days since I made a post to this blog and there are a lot of things happened in my life for the past days...

Before sharing with you those events, let me first introduce my new found comfort drink - Red Horse and San Mig... aside from Vanilla Milk Shake of SBC

I am not an avid fan of alcoholic drinks (except for Blue Vodka Ice which is quite expensive) and definitely am not a drinker as well... why out of the blue resort to these one? It shuts my mind from thinking too much.

I'll better buy a liver aid supplement soon

11 Jul 2oo8 - Ditched Day

After almost 1 month and 1 week of break up (First Stabbed), I just found out the real truth. In denial and shock I was but as they say

You know you really love someone when you want him or her to be happy,
even if their happiness means that you're not part of it.

Knowing the truth is never easy and hurts so much (2nd Stabbed)...

Fate is still good with me as I was with my friends when the truth was revealed, else I will surely go insane

At Gregorio (L-R) Drei,Anna, Mira and Me

Mira, Me and Drei

Next day, Weng, my best friend had an offline message regarding a picture from friendster, I saw the pic.. my heart was stabbed again for 3rd time...

15 Jul 2008 - Birthday of the Year - Jayson's Birthday

25 Jul 2006 - Anna's Day at Molokai and Aplaya

Friday night, hang out for a while at Seattle's Best with Gene, Abby V. Begay, Mira and Anna. Then Sol together with Angel and 2 from the Immature Team (Marvin and Eymard) came along.

Had a few drinks at Molokai

(L-R) Mira, Ces, Anna and Angel (New recruit member of S-Club)

Left-Handed Guys

With Begay

Around 9:30 when everyone called it a night... but wait! Anna and I tried to contact Drei again and successfully was able to reach her and we were able to invite Begay and off we went to Aplaya

Might be the last time to see Drei again, off she will go to SG next week
(sana hinintay mo ako para sabay tayo)

-=New Found Comfort Drink=-

Everytime my friends would like to hang-out, chat and have coffee, the best destination we think of is Seattle's Best

I love the Vanilla MilkShake a lot!!!

Just the thought of it, I instantly crave for it ... I actually think of it alot of times

Forget the calories, the whip cream, the chocolates... one sip and everything feels heaven

-=Wanted=-

Kill one, save a thousand
--- Fox (Angelina Jolie)

Another great movie by Angelina Jolie, too sad she died in the end... I love her hair, I love her bod, I love how she moves.. don't miss the movie!

-=Night Out Dancing=-

Showdown

It's been months or years since the last time I went clubbing...

I love dancing as it releases a lot of energy and most of all.... you could go crazy on the dance floor (like no one's watching)

Friday night after office, we had dinner first at Safari, Festival Mall with the IT (Immature Team) guys...

(L-R) - Drei, Anna and Me

IT Team with Sol and Mira

Afterwards, road trip finding a good spot for clubbing and landed at Greenbelt

We first went at Absinth (Entrance Ph200 which includes 1 drink)

The party begins.. We even bump with our office colleagues (Chito and Calvin) and headed off at Ice, where alot of people are really dancing

Group pic

Another group pic

Smile like no one's cam-whoring

We really had a great night and I enjoyed a lot, isn't it obvious?

-=Power of a Hug=-

It was a short sweet hug

I was surprise when he extended his arms yearning for a hug. It was been awhile since I felt that embrace and it did made me teary-eyed afterwards.

I am still in shock even at this moment. It did matter a lot to me because I know we are okay.. and that we will be okay

-=Fortune Cookie=-

I had dinner with my officemates awhile ago after playing WII in our office (hehehehe...it's so addicting and I am loving it!)

We ate at Chowking, Festival. I bought fortune cookie and below is the message I got

People miss their share of happiness
not because they never found it
but because they never slowed down to enjoy it
