A year ago, the grand mother, the 1st daughter and the 1st grand daughter went to Singapore and spent their summer vacation there.
Basically, to bond. All three didn’t know each other.
What was one like to live with the other in one roof?
In a place only the three knows each other.
They lived there for more than 100 days.
Think 100 days is not enough to know one?
Think 100 days won’t unclothe the layers of the heart?
Think it wouldn’t burn an everlasting love?
Think twice…. It would.
Think again.
It will go beyond.
~o~
It’s cold.
I gazed at the trees nearby
Only to find out that none was moving.
Could it be you?
I know I was at fault.
But don’t ever think that I was too busy to remember you.
“Siguro nagtatampo ka na naman sakin! Pero di ba sinabi ko naman sayo na simula nung umalis ka na… nahihirapan na kong umuwi ulit sa Bulacan? Nasasaktan ako… ayokong makita yung bahay na walang tao… na wala ka.”
I’m sorry.
But is it you?
Is it your arms embracing me?
Is it you telling me to slow down?
Are you telling me to go back to school?
Are you asking me to return the lit books I borrowed from you?
* Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
* Live with the 3 E's: Energy, Enthusiasm, Empathy.
* Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and those under the age of 6.
* Dream more while you are awake.
* Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less foods that are manufactured in plants.
* Try to make at least 3 people smile each day.
* Clear clutter from your house, car and desk... and let new energy flow into your life.
* Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, issues of the past, negative thoughts, or things you cannot control. Instead, invest your energy in the present positive moment.

* Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

My late great grand mother has a hearing impairment. I’m not sure which ear was impaired. But I’m sure that to be able to hear us she depends on a hearing aid, brown, small. When I was a kid, I thought it was a gadget. Thought it was some cool thing. But as I grow up, I discovered that it isn’t….
Inang, that’s how I call her, needs it way more that she needs forks and spoons in eating. There were times that when someone speaks too much… it echoes so loud like an alarm, like a siren. And that sounds pains the ear of Inang. I know.
I witnessed how she felt during those moments. I don’t want to experience that.
To escape myself from having the same fate, what I do is take care of my ears… Cover it when a thing bangs, tone down volumes… less the decibels, more to ears life.
But today I want to take a break from hearing. As I turn the highest level, these phones can have, a reason goes behind it.
I’m tired. I’m so so tired.
I don’t want to hear your voice. I don’t want to hear you screaming. Think that when moments of silence like these come I just wanted to hear another thing. Perhaps, I wanted to hear your heart. Realize that now what I want to hear is what it truly beat, what it truly feels and not the lies that it shouts...
Facts about L.O.V.E :)) <3 (from someone else's blog)
1. A man won't let go if he really loves you.
Do not hold on to someone who has let go of you. He does not love you and does not value having you. Believe me, he will not let go if he really loves you. There is another reason he is not willing to tell.
2. Do not look for reasons why he ended the relationship.
There is only one reason why he ended your relationship. He just does not love you. Do not waste your time thinking of reasons or what you should have done. Move on and be open to a man who will truly love you.
3. Do not get hang up on your past.
Do not nag or distrust your current boyfriend just because your ex hurt you. Do not treat him or the relationship the same way. Do not compare. He will not react the same way as your ex. Do not be worried that your simple mistakes will cause him to look for another girl. What happened with your ex was not your fault. It was not because you didn't guard him enough or you didn't make him happy enough.
4. Do not look into images.
How many times have you met a girl who didn't have the best image in school or at the office, but you get to know the girl and found out she was actually extremely nice? Do not rely on images. Oftentimes, it is far from reality. Do not fear men just because your "supposedly" perfect ex-boyfriend mistreated you.
5. Always have your own set of rules.
Set your limits on how far you'd go for a guy. It's perfectly ok to give and do everything as long as it's worth it. And it's worth it if the guy is treating you right.
6. Do not be scared to lose him.
Don't be scared that he'll break up with you. Once you are afraid of losing him, you easily can be taken advantage. Be strong and if something is unacceptable, do not accept it and speak up.
7. Avoid calling your guy.
It's a guy thing. The relationship will definitely be better if it's the guy who's calling, not the girl. He will get tired of you if you keep on calling. He will lose interest and challenge. More so, he will get annoyed. But it's a girl thing also that your fingers get too itchy until you dial his number. But avoid as much as possible. Call only if really needed (like checking if your suspicions are reasonable).
8. There is a guy who will value you.
There is a guy out there who can make you feel valued, appreciated, and loved. And I mean, not just during your first few weeks together. So don't lose hope. Don't settle for a lesbian if you are not attracted to women. There is a man out there who can love you like a girl can
Also, do not believe him when he says it's just the way he really is. He's not the sweet or expressive-type. Remember during your first few weeks together? Where has that sweet guy gone? He simply is not that into you anymore.
9. Always be the only one, no matter what.
Do not ever fall for a guy who has another girl, be it his wife, girlfriend, or any girl that he says he just can't get rid of for whatever reason. If you truly believe that he loves you and for some reason, he can't leave or let go of another girl, then you are no different from any ordinary mistress.
10. He must respect you.
No matter how long the relationship has been, he should always show respect towards you.
11. If he fooled you, end it.
Philandering once is enough. You can never trust nor respect the person again.
12. Never start a relationship the wrong way.
Do not steal another girl's man, for whatever reason. Nor should you enter a relationship for the wrong reasons (loneliness, on the rebound, getting back at your ex, man-dependency, etc.) it is bound not to last. You will only end up wasting more years of your life.
13. Do not force yourself into a relationship.
Do not get into a relationship just because your friends are getting impatient with your dating escapades and the one hasn't come yet. Do not choose who to say yes to based on superficial things like money, looks, cars, etc.. If you are even thinking of these things, you have not fallen in love yet.
14. Do not settle.
If you are not happy anymore with your relationship, break up instantly. He will not stay with you forever no matter how upright he might seem to be. Eventually, he will also want love and happiness in his life.
15. A relationship has to have love.
Love is the only thing that will push you to give your efforts into making the relationship work. And believe me, keeping a relationship requires genuine efforts of both parties.
16. Don't be afraid to be single.
It's fun to be single, try it. You can go out whenever and wherever you want. You are free. You can date whomever you want and you get to go out for free! Do not get a boyfriend just for the sake of having one. Do not settle.
17. Be a good girl.
Be a good girl to attract a good guy. Enter the relationship with sincere intentions. Take the guy and the relationship seriously with the plan of spending the rest of your life with that person (of course, this is after you had your bit of fun in your younger years). If you compare your flings from your real relationships, you will know that the latter makes you happier and more fulfilled.
18. Love without limits.
Whether you loved and gave everything or loved but held out for some things, if the relationship ends, you still get hurt. But if you gave your everything, you were happy and you could say that it was worth it. If you didn't give your all, you get hurt for nothing.
19. You will get over him.
Love is over-stated. Love eventually ends and you are free to love another.
20. Be the one.
Act like you are the one. Don't be a nagger. Don't hinder his gimmicks. Don't give in to him too easily. Make him treat you as important. Don't be easy. Don't be like every other girl he had in his life.
I believe I will die early. Prolly, in my mid 40s or early 50s. Before any member of our family. My parents would grieve about my death, this will be mother's greatest heartache. My brothers will treat this as a wake up call that life is too short. Father is as strong as usual but with the greatest pain of them all.
I know it will be a painful death. Only I. But my physical death wouldn't be felt by anyone else but me... I won't be able to breathe. I would feel every single pain. All the pasts pains will come back. I wouldn't scream. There won't be any marks of blood. I will cry. Then my heart will just suddenly stop beating.
No one will know the exact time of my death or how I died, for everyone was at rest. I will die between midnight and sunrise. I will die in the time where you have crossed the boundaries of reality, where you have reached the place of dreams and of fantasies.
When the sun shines, you will see my dead body-hard. You will hold me,cold. Feel my heart beat. none. call an ambulance. no. you will cry. I'm dead.

Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Although he is admired by many, a number of industry insiders criticize his business tactics, which they consider anti-competitive, an opinion which has in some cases been upheld by the courts (see Criticism of Microsoft).[6][7] In the later stages of his career, Gates has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000.
Bill Gates stepped down as chief executive officer of Microsoft in January, 2000. He remained as chairman and created the position of chief software architect. In June, 2006, Gates announced that he would be transitioning from full-time work at Microsoft to part-time work and full-time work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He gradually transferred his duties to Ray Ozzie, chief software architect and Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer. Gates' last full-time day at Microsoft was June 27, 2008. He remains at Microsoft as non-executive chairman.

That was me in my bitchy side while talking to my equally bitch Aunt.
Five months ago, I was this girl looking for a primetime job. When I say primetime, I mean a job that would be everyday and that would give me enough experience to make my resume even more credible. An office working job.
Lucky, I was accepted as VPHI’s copy writer. What I do is make copies for the company, do press release to deploy, articles and news. It was not a hard job… news writing was way harder.
But months after I was moved to another department—Multimedia. This present department is very different from my CW world. Jobs here fall massive and/or passive. Either you have a job or none at all. You come to work everyday expecting work load but nothing lands on you. To kill boredom choose whether you blog, facebook, chat, or go to the other department and beg for job. Not that I didn’t like here in multimedia but a lot of my time is wasted here. I don’t make the most of my time… I feel so unproductive… and sleeping was even more productive than to stay here, you just let time pass and wait for game over.
Today, September 22, 2009, marks the last 18 days before my contract ends with Vibal. Honestly, I don’t want to leave Vibal… for three reasons: (1) my friends, (2) the experience it will mark my resume and (3) the 13th month pay. Being kicked out here would make me sad for awhile but its something I can shrug off in less time.
I know fate has plans for me. To stay or not to is up to you up there… I would love to stay but if this isn’t the right road for me… I don’t want to walk on further. Rather, I’d like to grab the turn ASAP.
I will miss the people I worked with here…my companions turned friends, my advisers turned sisters and my bosses’ like my parents. I always thought that working in a company would be very different… I never thought that working is just like a continuation of school, like a next home…. That becomes so close to the heart.
