When A Friend Needs Me....

"If there's someone I know who can make her laugh... that's you"


It's 4:00 in the morning. I just got home.. I'm so tired and would like to hibernate the entire weekend. But I won't. Someone needs the biggest hug she can get from her friends and that's what I'll be doing later.
The 'quoted en toto' sentence above is actually a wake up call. A realization that no matter how fast my life goes and how crazy it gets, I still have a responsibility to my friends. Sometimes, a phone call or a text message, not even the understanding that you're always thinking and praying for them is never enough. One day, someday, you still need to get together and give comfort to those who need it.

I've been blessed with a lot of amazing friends... It's time to give back to them the unconditional support, understanding and loyalty they have given during my darkest hours..

    

No matter where we are, what we do, who we are with... we always manage to make the best of our time together. I love these girls so much because they bring out the best in me and they, oh so naturally, help me enjoy the simple indispensable things in life.

See you girls later.....

I like Men.....it's just that Mr. Right hasn't come along yet

"just because I'm single, it doesn't mean I'm gay...." - Peegee

I am not entirely sure how my day went "oh-so-crazy"...

First,  I'm a bloody panda for running errands for my mom and sister so early in the morning (for a night person, 9am is an ungodly hour). Second, I got the early bird award for coming in early for a lunch meeting..just to find out that it got postponed. Third, I stapled myself...pulled out a millimeter of staple-wire from my ring finger, almost cried because no one has a 'cute' band aid while I'm dripping blood everywhere. Now here's the cherry on the cake....

A co-worker just said he believes I'm a lesbian... and a close friend agrees with him... what the?!!

Do I, by any chance, look gay to you??

To clear things up.. I like men.. tall and strong (physically, mentally and emotionally) are my preferences. It's just that, I haven't met a guy that really really caught my attention.

Rated "PG" - by Janus

What does it mean if a lady is Rated PG?

It means that she captivates audiences on different levels. She moves them with her beauty, charms them with her grace, and engages them with her intelligence.

It also means that she writes with such depth and insight. She speaks beautifully on starry skies, on falling in love, and on the complexities of a colorful but confusing (love)life.

It also means that she has the elegant style, but none of the snobbishness. She has the sophistication, but is suffused with the simplicity. She has the beauty but none of its intimidating power. She is a touch shy, she confesses, but deep inside, you know she bursts with such passion.

That is what rated PG means. Two thumbs up for this lady. A certified box-office hit. And definitely the bomb. :)

Your Wish is Granted

Someone, for his own selfish reasons, asked me to forget him. I asked why and he couldn't give a sufficient answer...all he said was "because everything will change from now on..."

So when I got this irrational request, I replied: "If you don't want to remember me, go ahead and forget..but don't ask me to do the same thing"..  to this he replied: "I will never forget you".. So where did this stupid conversation came from and why did it ever surfaced? Only he will know.

I believe myself to be a  woman of reason. If you ask me something and it's in my power to grant and fair to all.. why not? I refused the request not because I don't want to forget him. At that time, I just couldn't find an answer to the question "why would I do that?". People, no matter how rude they've been to you, how sweet or caring, or how insignificant, cannot be forgotten in an instant. Our brain doesn't have an on/off button or a tick box that will allow you to mark just those you need to remember.. I wish it does, God knows there are some people I would have loved to forget I've ever met. Unfortunately, things don't go that way. You have to wait for that waking moment wherein your intuition and brain would recognize that... "this person's space in your memory has expired.. you can now gladly forget" ---> at least my brain does this.

For this person, the time has come....

Now, I finally understood the reason behind the request. It wasn't for me. It was more like telling himself that everything will change and he needs to forget... to make things easier for him, he needs to dispose of irrelevant people. 

Oh well, as mentioned, I, too, can concede... I am letting your memory go... go in peace...


"For a while, I thought I understood you..."

Simbang Gabi.....

Simbang gabi is one Christmas tradition I look forward to each year. I like seeing the people rushing to church. Love the bibingka and puto-bumbong stands outside church, pandesal in the morning, plus a variety of fruits near the entrance gate of my village. There's a lot of goodies to choose from.

Honestly, I don't like waking up at three in the morning to catch the 4am mass. However, this year, my work allows me to attend mass at 4am. happy..... The first three days, Necy (our helper) and I attended mass at 4am. However, on the 4th day, I decided to attend the 8pm mass. Since it's a Saturday, I would like to give Necy longer time to rest ^^.

On the first night of Simbang Gabi, I saw a shooting star.. It was a beautiful sight. Now, it's the fifth night already... time flies...Christmas is really near.. Yey! Happy! There's a lot of things to look forward to this Christmas...

I took a picture of the star lanterns, each one represents a day ^^

 

I wanted to take pictures of the choir and the 'belen', but I'm shy... there were too many people ^_^ Next time, i'll try to get snapshots.
