Six days to go. Six days to go before I turn a new page in my life. I begin to count how many years to go before my age will be not be seen in the days of a calendar (and thank goodness, I still have nine years before saying bye-bye to the calendar days) I am about to celebrate my birthday, and I think something's wrong with me. I am not excited to celebrate it and I don't know what the reason behind it. The days are fast approaching and yet I still don't have a plan how to celebrate it. Don't get me wrong... it's not that I don't want to get another year older. I absolutely love the fact I getting another year older. I also got one of the best presents ever for this year's birthday, but I don't know I feel that it will be just another day.

I happily look back on my previous birthdays: two years ago, there was a very very good surprise birthday gift from my very good friends Carmemeh and Trikzy which was totally unforgettable. And last year there was Joey's 12 midnight surprise which I absolutely loved. Ahhhh... those were the years. =)

I just hope an idea will dawn on me, and maybe hoping for a little surprise (hahaha, just kidding) =p I just want to celebrate it with the people I love, i just don't know how to celebrate it.

If you need me, you know where to find me- in my comfort zone.

It is surprising to me how a little discussion can transform into one huge argument then conclude to a realization- one moment its about us, one moment it becomes an argument about me. You know you. You are somewhat aware of all your positive/good and negative/bad (although you're in denial about them) side. Certainly, talking about this particular negative side is nothing new to me. I know this, I am aware of it, I am not in denial about it- maybe its just I lived with it. Maybe I've just given up, and accepted that its was a part of who I am. Maybe because in my own little world I felt people would accept everything about me, but the bad thing is "Something need to change, especially if its for the better."

This particular argument is definitely a first for me. No one in my entire life pointed out this particular defect in me, you must understand that. It was easy to accept pointing this particular defect, when I'm talking to myself and taking pointers regarding attitudes or habits that I need to change but hearing it from others especially him, it was just tough. Truly, that was one of my definitions of "The truth hurts". This is one for the books, this tops the list on my feeling of insecurity- never felt so bad for myself. Pointing out how its alright to be one of the boys and being grateful for it, but the words after is what really hit me- and baby, it hit me hard- spot on. Sharing insight about it good it would be for me to dress a bit more girly and being a bit more fit and placing a bit more effort to make myself more beautiful and chic looking, to show off the world that you have a chic for a girlfriend and commenting that 90% of the time I just wear a simple shirt and jeans when we go out for a date. Well, most of the people who are close to me know me as a jeans and shirt girl. I believe that a girl or women could and can accentuate her sexiness even if she had just a simple shirt and jeans on her.

Blah blah blah.. after the long phone call arguing about how sitting pretty I was on my comfort zone, thinking so maturely (not in a good way), how opposite we are, me not wanting to explore the adventures that life offers and more defects about myself, a number of realizations came to mind and a lot of lessons learned. Maybe its time to change, and have a total make over.

Lets see, maybe this time around change is good especially its that time again- about to be a year older this month.

Let the adventure of change begin!

I miss.

Holding my hand while you drive. Wrapping your arm on my waist. Hugging me from behind. Just those rare sweet moments of ours. Those times I miss...

Tippy toes and high kicks

Realization # 2: I wish I took ballet and karate classes when I was a kid; when my mom offered too. No harm into adding these two as my talents.

Its not regret, its a realization-- nah... its regret.

2010-10-12T14:38:00.009+08:00

Realization # 1: Now that I am in the fast paced world filled with career driven people there is one thing I just realized. If only I did better during high school through college; if only I exerted more effort. If only I wasn't that happy go lucky student who was satisfied with mediocrity and getting passing mark; if only I took a specialty in which I was passionate at and took more extra-curricular activities, then it wouldn't be hard surviving in this fast paced world.

I know one must not have regrets in life, but this is one thing I see when I look back in taking this ongoing adventure called life. One day if someone asks me or if my children ask me what was one thing in your past that you wish you could fix, this would be at the top of my list. I'm not asking to be an over-achiever student, I just want much better grades, a few recognitions here and there and not be content with just a passing grade-- that would do. I just wish I did and gave my best while I was still studying.

A for adventure, and A for Aha moment.

For the past few months after I graduated, I've searched for company's to apply for as a writer. A handful called me up for an interview, then the written exam and then... it stops there. All this trying has made me frustrated with myself, and came into terms with myself that maybe I'm not made to be a writer at all. Then suddenly
I have acquired a job, as an online writer for a particular site. It basically leaves me here at home doing a articles. Unfortunately, this past few weeks I'm beginning to feel lazy because of its:

One- low pay one gets and

Two- the long time it takes before you get that pay

Which leads me now to my latest adventure of finding a much better paying job. Recently, I've applied in a number of company's as a content writer and some positions that are not related to being a Mass Communication graduate. I'm even considering working as a call center agent just to get a bigger pay. Working for a call center is my last resort in my job hunting adventure. Before even considering this job, I have to know and hear the opinion of my better half. Well, basically he has a lot of opinions regarding this job since he has worked for a call center. Other reason is I really value his opinion, when he gives me insights regarding life or some basic decisions which I have difficulty deciding on.

For the mean time... I've been doing all the cleaning, cooking, groceries and laundry chores here at home and some menial tasks for my mother ever since our long time house help for she has found other ventures for her to save for her son's future. In the process of doing these tasks, I've realized that its not an easy job to do on the contrary it's very tiring and it takes a lot of your time. In doing these task, I have learned how to budget money and time and how to prioritize. In the process of doing these things I've realized somethings, questions came to mind like:

"What if time and money permits me and my beloved to live with one another under one roof before marriage (and absolutely we couldn't afford house help), then I would have to do all of those chores tied in with my work?"

And when we enter into marriage and the possibility of having kids and not having house help, "Then I would have to do all of those chores, tied in with: my work, kids, making my future hubby happy and maintain my beauty and figure for my sake and for my hubby's sake?"

Oh my gosh, my realizations are bizarre. But with all those questions and my previous conversations with my beloved regarding this topic I have realized one thing: Sacrifice is an essential in life.

Someday.

1 half casserole Gata

Lots of Curry Powder (ahmed's and local curry)

5 Fresh Basil Leaves

5 Ginger Slices

1 tablespoon of Finely Chopped Garlic

Every Sunday I never fail to read the opinion section of Patricia Evangelista. I truly admire her; the way she writes and I agree with some of the opinions she expresses. On today's issue she discusses sex education on the younger ones (http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/columns/view/20100605-274072/The-Republic-of-Love). This is one of the issues I personally advocate. I believe that this one topic that shouldn't be left alone for the parents to discuss to their children.

It discusses the Church's dismay on the Department of Education's proposal on teaching sex education to children starting from the 5th grade. I understand them, even I wouldn't want today's generation of kids to be having sex with different men or women all the time just because they know what will protect them from getting into a sticky situation. On the contrary, not educating today's kids little by little may result to a number of problems such as: the extreme growth of our population, increased number of cases relating to sexual diseases. They (Church) say that there is a proper time to teach them this issue, but it is a known factor to everyone that due to poverty some of the kids don't even reach high school. They say there is a right age to teach them, tell me when is the right age? When even 14 year-old's or even younger conceive babies already. The point of educating is awareness and as the grading level goes higher, a more in-depth discussion will be taught to children. Starting with letting the child understand the human body, and it goes in-depth as their grading level gets higher. Its not like the school will be teaching 5th graders the different types of contraceptives and how to use them, there are appropriate topics for each grading level. I don't see anything wrong with educating these kids with this kind of issues, lets not shelter these kids.

Let's face it, we are already living in a world wherein the children are exposed to the wonders and dangers of media. I admit, even I a graduate of Mass Communication sees these dangers in exposing the little ones to media. Children these days are not sheltered. Whether the Church or the overly conservative and closed-minded parents want to shelter their child's minds and preserve their innocence, I believe it would be quite hard and impossible for them to do such. Yes, you may monitor your child's television and internet habits or even remove them from their homes, but not everybody's like them. As they step out of the house to go to school, they are exposed to different types of people. They see and meet different kinds of people, some of them openly talking about sex. A child passes by news stands and sees tabloids with headlines like "6 year old molested by uncle". The point of this proposal of the Department of Education is "Prevention through awareness". Letting them be aware of their bodies, what are the body parts wherein no body must not touch, what are their bodies capable of to prevent something that is way beyond anyone's control.

Bon Appetit!

* This is most certainly one of my favorite films ( I love movies that are cooking themed.) I've seen this film a number of times for it brings a certain happiness in me (plus it was shot at Paris, another place I would love to visit). : ) Watching this film awhile ago for the nth time and it gave me an idea. Time to use my cookbooks, brush up my cooking skills and start posting the recipes I've tried. : ) Definitely putting some thought to it. : )

To show you that I am so proud of you.

Could HB 17 be the solution? by Bb. Oria

2010-03-07T23:39:00.002+08:00

All of a sudden just when we turned a new leaf and started the year 2010, the Philippines experienced a sudden growth of victims who have Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). This kind of illness is nothing new here in our country since the Philippines has encountered its first ever case in the year 1984. Having unprotected sex and having multiple partners are one of the causes of this particular condition. Just recently I’ve read and seen news reports about the Department of Health (DOH) have been distributing condoms to the public especially during the love month and the Catholic Church’s wanting to ban commercials of condoms. These particular issues made me want to write about the Reproductive Health Bill.

The proposed House Bill (HB) 17: “Reproductive Health and Population Development Act of 2008” by authored by Representative Filemon “Popoy” Lagman. The proposition of this is bill is to inform parents who have children or planning to have children regarding both natural and modern family planning methods which are medically safe and legally acceptable and have access to it. This allows an environment wherein women and couples are given the freedom of informed choices regarding modes of family planning that they would like to take on, on the basis of their needs, and their personal and religious beliefs. A lot of fuzz surrounds this bill for the reason of the Church’s opposition and they’re unfavorably use of artificial contraceptives. According to the reports I’ve read on the Internet the representative of the 1^st district of Albay continually states that “The bill does not have any bias for or against either natural or modern family planning. Both modes are contraceptive methods with a common purpose of preventing pregnancies.”

Though this bill present some drawbacks such as: the favorability of using birth control measures which are opposed by the religious and ethical groups and its directive to sex education which a lot of parents are against it just to name a few. On the positive side the bill offers maternal, infant and child health and nutrition care, promotion of breastfeeding, elimination of violation against women, prevention of abortion and prevention and management of reproductive tract infections, HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases.

I think that the Reproductive Health Bill would be a big help to our country especially our economy. Why? With the continuous growth of our population that would equate to a huge budget for our country that would be borrowed and in return turned as taxes, taxes even my great grand children would still have to pay. With the lack of classrooms, lack of teachers and proper salaries for them too, and lack of school buildings in the public sector: How would these future children be properly educated? It would be good if every Filipino citizen could pay for private school education but, a huge part of our population could not afford that. I t would be also great if this huge part of our population can afford to have their check-up, treatment in case of ailments and the like in a private hospital but the sad reality is, they cannot. With the high prices of doctor’s fees, hospital fees and a whole lot of fees, a Filipino who belongs to the Class C and D cannot afford to give out a lot of money for that. With the lack of facilities, proper health centers, proper salaries for the doctors and nurses: How would the parents of these children and even themselves as well, be given the proper health care? Our government not giving the proper attention and budget to the agriculture sector and now that our country is experiencing a terrible climate condition and with the continuous rising of prices on commodities and food products: How would these families feed themselves and their children if there would be a continuous growth in our population?

This would not be a problem if the government is giving the proper attention and budget is given to the following sectors and the sectors I forgot to mention. This would not be a problem if the budget allocated for them is received by those people who need it and not straight into the pockets of the corrupt public official. A reproductive health bill would not be necessary if people today would not a stray and follow what must be followed and practice responsible sex but, in today’s society an alarmingly growth of teens do deed outside marriage, the lack of well-educated and responsible people to guide them and the high influences of their friends and the easy accessed media I think it would be hard for today’s society to practice responsible and well-protected intercourse.

I think it would be only right to pass the proposed House Bill 17: “Reproductive Health and Population Development Act of 2008” because it would be for the betterment of our society, economy and most especially our country.

12 journalists laid to rest, their search for justice continues by Bb. Oria

2010-03-07T23:36:00.001+08:00

General Santos City is known as the tuna capital of the Philippines and the home of people’s champ Manny Pacquiao but is not known to all that this is also the burial site of the 12 journalists who were killed in the tragic Maguindanao massacre.

Before proceeding to Forest Lake Cemetery were the 12 journalists were buried we first bought flowers, to serve as offerings and as a little something so they will in a way remember us. Picking flowers for them was a little bit hard for me because I want to leave behind a little piece of me, and t the end I chose flowers which bear my favorite color.

Upon our arrival at Forest Lake Cemetery it was so serene, so calm but when I stood and was faced with the 12 tomb stones of the 12 journalists, chills ran down my spine. I was neither terrified nor afraid, but something made me stood still before placing the flowers upon their grave. After placing flowers on each and every grave, I had this heavy feeling in my heart a feeling that these people deserve justice and I know in my heart they will get it. I felt so sad for those people they left behind especially their children, significant other, their parents and friends. I was especially moved when I saw a very young girl who was asked by her relatives to say good-bye and I love you to her mother in her cutest voice, it was so heart-breaking.

As I stood aside and watched my fellow classmates taking photographs of the tomb stone, in my mind I was talking to them. I was telling them how much respect I have for them and from then on I will always say a little prayer for them. It was good that we were able to pay our respects to those journalists who have passed on, dropping by before leaving for Manila gave me as sense that being a journalist is truly a calling for one must be aware that there are a lot of risks and one must be brave and tough enough to face them.

He wrote this for me.

12:15am

The first time I met you, I thought, "Wow...she has a really beautiful smile."
The second time we met, I could hardly breathe and was really scared to say something, anything.
When we went out on our first date, our eyes spoke.
On our second date, I realized that I'd do anything for you. Even wait until my heart dies.
When you made me the best dinner that anyone other than my parents made me...you made my mind scatter and my heart fall.
Last night...was the best I've ever had. It was the first time I spent time with a girl and all we did was talk, smile, laugh, hug, and kiss. When we stared at each others' eyes, I could see how much I meant to you, and you saw how happy I was with you.

My Sakura, cherry blossom of my now completed heart...I love you so much. From the darkness that resides in my innermost being, you burned ever so brightly with your pale white light, your sweet petals caressed the cracked surface of my thoughts.
You made me whole again...
You made me live again.

I love you very much Beatrize Blanche Oria.

My entire heart and being..only belongs to you.

When I looked in your eyes, I saw a life I've always wanted to be a part of.

My heart only sings for you, and you alone.

Forever your Syaoran,
Joey

- You don't just make me feel. You made me live. I always thought that lived a colorful life. But since knowing you and spending time with you.. I realized how much my life could be.

- I'd love you forever.

- That's because you are, and more. You are the sun that blinds me in its morning light, the moon the bathes me in its serene glow, the rain that soaks me with cold, the blanket that covers me with warmth, the mountain that shadows, the sea that grows, the sky that catches me every time I fall. The love that's with me, forevermore.

- I miss you. The rain reflects how much I do. The sky darkens at the thought of you not being with me. The wind whispers your name. The trees dances and weaves in the music that the wind sings. My heart soars at the thought of seeing you. I miss you Beatrize Oria with every beat of my heart. I miss you witth every minute that passes. I miss you with every thought that passes through my mind. I miss you every second, everyday. I miss you with every drop of rain. I miss you now, and I'll continue to miss you every time you're not here.

- Dates, dates, dates. You were introduced to me by your cousin who is a friend. You smiled and I was smitten. I asked for your number and when you gave it to me I was stunned. We went out and had fun, and then I knew. At last, I've met you. Like as I might to fill this comment box with our memories, but I won't be able to. Because although we haven't been together that long yet, I know that every memory we make is etched in eternity. Yours and mine. For an entire lifetime. A single thought if an infinite moment in time, all come together in a plethora of fleeting memories of smiles and frowns, of up's and downs, of you, of me, of us. I love you. =)

- Stop. If you say you're sorry and hindi na to mauulit then I believe you because I love you.

- I love every thing about you my love. =)

- I want you to be happy.

- I love you more than more.

- You are every breath I take and you're also the one who takes my breath away. The sunlight and rain, sweeps me away. I love you, so much so that no storms can ever keep me away. =)

- Anything made by a beauty, is a beauty.

- I love you. =) Everything I have, everything I know, everything I see cannot compare to you.

- 'Coz you make me love you more and more each day. =)

- Magaling ka talaga. =) Hindi kasi dahil mahal kita, kundi kaya mahal kita. =)

- Eto. Namimiss ka, iniisip ka, minanahal ka, and everything that involves me loving you even more and more each moment that passes. =)

- Wala akong time eh, I'd rather spend it with you.

- How do I love thee? I love thee with the intensity of a thousand suns. I love thee with the seconds of an infinite lifetime. I love thee with every breath. I love thee with every step. I love thee with heary. I love thee with each and every part. Morning love. =)

- As the storm passes, the skies get a little clearer, the sun a little brighter, the wind a little calmer. A beautiful somber scene that only nature can create. Yet none of it compares to you. A smile, a kiss, a hug. A scene that only be described as exquisite, that only you can give.

- A fraction of a second na wala ka, torture.

- Nagssmile naman ako eh, kasi alam kong nanjan ka. Konting lambing mo lang, masaya na ko.

- Para mahalin ka ng buong puso. Para samahan ka sa hirap at ginhawa. Para pagmasdan ang kagandahan at kasexyah mo. Para alagaan ka sa tuwina. Para ipadama sayo na ikaw ang pinakaimportante sa buhay ko.

- Nightmares are our body's way of telling us to wake-up from a dream. But what good can it do when you're already living your dream? Nightmares are lies that our mind makes to blind us from the truth. And the truth is.. I love you so much my bb. =)

- I'm home na din, in your heart.

- You say that I don't write you letters, but how could I? When all the words I know pale in significance to what you really mean to me? How can a single word like love describe the breadth of emotions that I feel? Nothing. No one. Just you. =)

- I'm so lucky I have you. =) I love you. =)

- I'd give everything I have just to bask in your radiance even for just a moment =)

- Blank kasi ang blank ng buhay ko pag wala ka. =)

- You always never fail to make me smile.

- My life wouldn't be the same without you. =)

- I love everthing about you. =) You brought out the best in me and I'm thankful that I found you. Ever since I met you, you brought life in my otherwise lifeless heart. I love you. =)

- My life would be in color without you. Thank you for making my life black and white. =)

- I just wanted you to know that I am so proud of you. From the moment I first met you, I knew you were brilliant. Since then that brilliance blinded me with such intensity that I fell in love with you every moment of each passing day. A thousand times more brilliant than the brightest star, incomparable to anything I can think of. That same brilliance will shine with you today, and though I may not be there to watch it, my heart (which has been with you from the moment you stole it from me, of course after you fell for me the very first second you saw me =p), sees what my eyes don't. I'm so proud of you my love, my pale white cherry blossom empress, love of my life, heart of my heart. I love you so much. =)

- Love ko talaga. =) Ginagawa ko lahat yun kasi love kita. =)

- Masaya din ako kasama ka. =) Kahit na corny panoorin natin, kahit boring pupuntahan natin basta kasama kita, masaya na. =) I love you too. =)

- Morning my Sakura, my pale white flower, love of my life, heart of my heart. As I watch the sun's rays fall on the window of this cold dreary room, I realize that I would be as cold and dreary as this room without your smile bathing me in its warm glowing light. I miss you. =) I love you. =) Good morning. =)

- I'll never be too busy for you. =)

- I miss the way you smile, when you look at me with those beautiful eyes. I miss the way you laugh... the way you tickle my belly. I miss the way we talk... the way we smile because of the past, the way we dream of tomorrow.

- I love you. =) I envy for the clouds have you in their embrace and I don't. But surely they envy me because your smile always embraces me in ethereal arms... something that they don't. =)

- I love you. No word can ever say how much I do. =)

- Are the trees really green and the skies really blue? What is reality when my fantasies came true...? What is fantasy when my reality is you? =)

- It all started with a glance... an introduction that changed my life with a single smile. An unseeming date that not only stole my breath but also filled my heart with longing... and there it was, yet again, another smile. One smile to melt my heart, and another to make it shine. I love you Beatrize Blanche Oria... more so when you became mine. Belated happy anniversary my sakura.. =) thank you for making me happy.

- Every day I'm faced with disappointments and regrets..of things I did not do or say. But all I know is that these three words always get me through: I. Love. You.

- Joey.

Sa aking nalalapit na pagtatapos sa eskwelahan

Sa aking hide-out

Ilang oras pa lang nakalipas ng kami ay isend-off ng aming professors at 3rd year Mass Comm. students (special mention Karen Marie Pastor at Carmela Quidoles) ngunit nadarama ko parin ang makahalong lungkot at saya.

Masaya dahil:

Sa wakas makakaalis na ako sa paaaralang nagpahirap sa akin ng apat na taon
Worth it lahat ng paghihirap na yun
Sa wakas tapos na ako maging estudyante
Ang sarap ng feeling na may na accomplish ulit ako
Dahil sa apat na taon ng aking pamamalagi, ako ay naging isang writer sa school paper at naging feature writer para sa yearbook namin

at Malungkot dahil:

May mga kaibigan ako (naitinuturing ko ng mga kapatid) na maiiwan sa paaralan
Dahil kailangan ko ng maghanap ng trabaho at kumita ng sarili kong pera (bawal na huminge sa magulang)
Kokonti na lang ang holidays
Wala na ding suspension of classes
Kailangan ko ng humarap sa tunay na buhay, sa labas ng aking eskwelahan

Pero sa apat na taon na tinagal ko sa eskwelahan, madami rin akong natutunan tungkol sa academics, sa totoong buhay, sa pag tratrabaho, sa pagkakaibigan at sa love life. Lahat yun hindi ko makakalimutan.

Hindi ko rin makakalimutan:

Yung bagong salta pa lang ako sa aking eskwelahan (naligaw pa kami ni Trikzy)
Yung mga naging at mananatiling kaibigan ko
Lahat ng kaguluhan, kasayahan, kakulitan, harutan, murahan, pag iinsulto, pagkwekwetuhan namin ng mga kaibigan ko
Yung mga naging crush ko, hahaha!
Yung unang beses na nagcut ako ng klase
Yung birthday celebration ko noong 2nd year na buong block ko yung nakasama ko sa pagcecelebrate
Yung "surprise birthday gift" sa akin nila Carmela, Kai at Trikzy (hahaha!)
at marami pang iba

Madami akong nababasa sa Facebook at naririnig kanina na nalulungkot sila dahil aalis at iiwanan na nila ang school, kesyo mamamiss daw nila yung mga professors namin. Hay sus, hindi ko alam kung totoo ito o nagpapabibo sila sa mga yun. Pero kasi ako, hindi sila mamimiss eh dahil matagal ko ng gustong kumawala sa kanila, ang talagang mamimiss ko ay ang mga kaibigan kong maiiwan ko sa eskwelahan at ang mga pinagsamahan namin.

Sometimes, its all about me ;D

20 things people do not know about me

I stopped smoking for almost four months already
I lessen my intake of Nestea Iced Tea
Purple is my least favorite color
I still don't have a driver's license and yes its' because I still don't know how to drive yet
I love to cook
Sometimes, I love to be all-dolled up (put on dressies and make-up) that is why I have photo shoots with my sister Mae
I wish I could bathe in the rain again
Even though I know how to swim, I am afraid of the deep waters
I love watching wedding audio visual presentations and they give me chills and give me a happy cry (http://www.mayadstudios.com)
I've named my gadgets such as my laptop and my d60 as: Hollowblock (laptop) and Passion (d60)

I don't know how to use chopsticks

Malaya ng makakatakbo si Gng. Arroyo para sa pag kongresista

2010-02-25T13:14:00.009+08:00

Ayon sa balita ng pahayagan Philippine Star "It's final: GMA can run for House seat". Si Cong. Hontiveros ay ng apila ng kaso sa Korte Suprema ukol sa paglabag ni Gng. Arroyo sa ating Konstitusyon dahil sa kanyang pagtakbo bilang Kongresista ng pangalawang distrito ng Pampanga.

Sa aking opinyon mukhang pinagplanuhan talaga ito ng campo nina Gng. Arroyo, at alam na alam na nila ang kanilang gagawin. At ang pinapalabas pa nila ay
hindi gusto ni Gng. Arroyo na maging Speaker of the House, at ang sinasabi lang nila ay gusto lang maglingkod nito sa kanyang distrito, sa mga kalapit bayan nito at ang buong bansa. Batayan ang aking nakaraang isinulat dito, mukhang meron nga "hidden agenda" itong campong ito. Pinapalabas lang ni Gng. Arroyo na ayaw niya maging Speaker of the House, sinasabi din ng kanyang mga kaalyado na wag muna ito pag-usapan sa ngayon dahil hindi pa naman eleksyon, pero tignan natin sa bandang huli, lalo na pag naging presidente si Manny Villar, tiyak ito ay mangyayari. Ang lahat ng ito ay isang pasilip o isang babala sa kung ano na ang mangyayari sa ating administrasyon.

Ako naman ay humahanga kay Cong. Hontiveros at sa mga taong lumalaban at hindi sumasangaayon sa mga pangyayari, dahil kahit alam nila na imposible na manaig ang kabutihan laban sa masasama pinagpapatuloy parin nila ang laban at hindi sila nawawalan ng pag-asa. Saludo ako sa inyo! :D Pero sa kasamaang palad, habang hawak ni Gng. Arroyo ang gobyerno at ang mga pulitikong sumusuporta sa kanyan, ang mga kongresista tulad nu Cong. Hontiveros at tayong taong bayan ay aasa na lang na balang araw mananaig and kabutihan.

The secret meeting is not so secret anymore

2010-02-12T23:04:00.003+08:00

Last week I received a text message from my father. The text message was all about the secret meeting of presidential candidate Manny Villar with President Gloria Arroyo and First Gentleman Mike Arroyo at the residence of Quezon City Mayor candidate Mike Defensor. The secret meeting was about Mr. Villar being the real presidential bet of Mrs. Arroyo, and presidential candidate Gilbert Teodoro was just a front of the Arroyo administration. Talks have been made already with the Commission on Elections (Commelec) on how Mr. Villar will win the May 10, 2010 elections, and when Mr. Villar wins the seat of the Speaker of the House is already waiting for her. I think that there is some truth to the rumors that are spreading. First of all it is surprising enough that the Administration chose Mr. Teodoro as their presidential bet because he is not known/ popular to the masses, and the masses have a huge population compared to the C to A class. For Mr. Teodoro to win the elections he needs to capture the hearts of the masses. Most certainly Gilbert Teodoro is not doing well in the list of surveys that have been conducted regarding the popularity of the presidential candidates. I'm not for or against Mr. Teodoro but I think that he doesn't have enough accomplishment so that the people could see or even realize that he could run a country. I am not under estimating what Mr. Teodoro has done, but I just think its not enough proof/evidence that he could run the Philippine government.

So in my opinion I really think that this rumors might be true. As you can see, its all over the news already; television, radio, newspapers. I even heard Mike Defensor speaking about this issue at an FM station which is aired Mondays to Thursdays 6pm to 10pm, and if you only heard what he was speaking about it was so out of context of the the radio show's program. Now its even in the news, there is discussion that is pushing Mrs. Arroyo to be Speaker of the House and her fellow colleagues are calling it as a "stroke of genius".

I don't know this might just be a sign that PGMA will still make her presence felt for the next coming years; this might just be one of her plans to remain in power. I don't know this are just some thoughts in my head. I think even if this rumor is already out in the open, the public will still be the judge of it. I just hope that the public isn't to blind to see it.

Yesterday before going to Trikzy's event I went to Joey's place first so we won't be having a hard time going to Makati. While I was at their place I had so much fun playing with Joey's Xbox 360. I miss those times I had a PlayStation at home, sit on the coach and play with it the whole day. But what really made me smiled was Joey's present for me for our 6th monthsary. It was a desk lampshade with yellow light (I really wanted that for the longest time) with a card which read "My dear BB, Life with you so far has been extraordinary. The love you have given me will last me a thousand lifetimes. Happy 6th. :) I Love You. Joey" Thanks love, I really appreciate it. :)

While we were on our way to Makati, we had so much fun talking about HongKong and Australia (two places me and Joey really love). As we were nearing the venue, Joey really had a hard time looking for a parking spot. I insisted that we stay and look for a parking spot, but at the end we opted to go to park near The Renaissance Hotel which costs 75php for three hours. Joey being frustrated in not finding a nearby parking spot and being hungry he didn't notice that he already ran on a red light. Way before that we were talking about traffic enforcers at Makati, you thought there was none of them then all of the sudden they come stopping right in front of your car. That would make you wonder like, "Where did he come from?" So long story short, we were caught by the Makati traffic police and now Joey's license is somewhere in a police station near Cash and Carry. I felt really pissed with it that for a while I lost my mood to party and enjoy the night, but I felt better as we walked going to the venue but Joey was really affected by it because he's so lazy to go to Makati just for that. Imagine he'll be coming from Sta. Rosa, Laguna then proceed to Makati, that's a long drive and plus he needs to pay 500php just to get his license back.

Anyways, we enjoyed the event even thought we were jammed pack inside and it was really hot. I also saw a really good friend of mine from high school (She was the one whom I wrote notes for if she sleeps through the class and borrowed eye glasses from because I really had poor eyesight). The fashion show was great, they really got great designers and models as well. The intermission numbers were great, and even the hosts really did a great job. Joey and I were really impressed with their event. Great job 4MCADV! :)

Now the quest to find where to eat begins. With all the expensive restaurants around, and no money we really had a hard time finding a place to eat. We walked around Greenbelt, passed by a lot of restaurants and still we were not able to choose. We went a long way to find the right place, and so we ended up choosing Marciano's by JohnandYoko. The food was really great, too many servings for two people (We ordered a 12 inch pizza, and two different kinds of pasta) and it was too much to handle, but we really loved to ambiance of the place. After such, we walked around for a while then I suddenly wanted to drink beer so we went to Sports Grill and ordered a bucket of beer which out of the six bottles we only drank four and while we were drinking we were watching UFC. I really felt that what I am doing on my part was really a guy thing which was a fun thing. :) I learned a number of things about the world of UFC, which was good (at least I learned something new) and we stayed until 12:30 then we decided to go home.

Clearly, it was one expensive and costly day for us so we came to the conclusion that we should hang out at his place for our dates. We could swim at their pool, play Xbox, watch DVDs plus the food is free. We'll be doing more of that with our incoming dates. :) Overall, I really had a great time. I was able to hang out with friends, and spend time with my love. :)

It all began with a smile. (I wrote this for you)

2009-12-16T00:13:00.009+08:00

We have been together for 212 days already, and I've posted a blog about us last December 10, 2009 Thursday but I haven't introduced him yet. He's name is Joey. He's already 28 years old and a Communication Arts student at De La Salle University-Canlubang.

This is how we met: It was June 27 2009, a Thursday. Due to the unfortunate event that has struck our school (AH1N1 virus), our school needed to be closed for one week for quarantine, so that meant I had a week's worth of vacation. My two cousins who were currently staying in Laguna, made me stay there since we had little time for one another. And that faithful day came. My cousin (Kuya) brought over his then girlfriend (Kylie) over to our place and since we had nothing to do there, he asked me if I wanted to come with them to go to his friends' dorm. Since I had nothing to do during that time, I came with them. Before this actual day, two of my cousins have met him and told me stories about him. They told me that his already 27 and still goes to school, that his pretty much a drinker and he sleeps with his jeans on. :) And so as we were approaching his friends' dorm we were stopped because my cousin recognized that the car from the other side of the street was his friend's car. We stopped in the middle of the street then agreed to pull over to a near by Rustans Grocery. As we were about to turn around my cousin told me "Yun si Joey" and I was thinking "Ahh okei" As we parked the car and walked going in Rustans, my cousin introduced me and I was greeted with a smile. They bought beers then went straight to 113.

Started to have a few bottles, shared stories he talked to me and kept asking questions. I thought they were just harmless question, just things he was curious about but I was wrong. He asked these questions because he was interested in me. Then suddenly when their friends came rushing in joining us for drinks, he suddenly he said: "Pag may nakita ka ng matino, at mabait seryosohin mo na." and he kept repeating it all the time. So I thought it was for my cousin so I agreed, not knowing that in the end (ako pala ang tinukoy niya. :D) And so the drinking went on until I felt tipsy already got the keys of the CRV from my cousin then slept until we got home. Then the following night which I thought was just a ordinary night but when my cousin fetched me from my tita's house to have dinner at ATC our conversation began:

Kuya: Hulaan mo sinong humihinge ng number mo?
*Napaisip naman ako*
Me: Sino nga?
Kuya: Si Joey..
Me: Talaga? Binigay mo naman?
Kuya: Hindi pa, tatanong ko muna sayo. Okei lang ba naibigay ko?
Me: Okei lang, bakit naman hindi?
Kuya: Sigurado ka? Matanda na yun..
Me: Ikaw magjudge, ikaw naman yung nakakakilala sakanya eh.. Mabait ba?
Kuya: Oo, ang bait bait nun eh. Super..
Me: O yun naman pala eh, eh d ibigay mo na :p
Kuya: O sige, ikaw magtext sakanya ng number mo.
*Text naman ako sakanya*
Kuya: Basahin mo na din yung mga text niya
*Basa naman ako, tawa tawa din*
Kuya: Kaya pala nagtetext sakin kagabi
Me: Bakit?Ano yung mga tinetext niya?
Kuya: "Mag iingat kayo ha? tapos nagtext ulit, "Kamusta na si Bea?
Me: hahaha, okei. :P

At that same night, he texted me and from then on we always text each other. The next day I went to with my cousin to his school but of course I can't stay in the school so I came with his now girlfriend, Ghec and Malai for a swim. After such we went back to 113 then went out for lunch, while going there we rode in one car (first time namin magkatabi sa car) then while having lunch, I had no change to pay for what I ate, then he offered to pay for me. I was surprised, but then I offered to pay him but he refused which was weird (Totoo nga yung sinasabi nila pag sa ibang tao nangyayari madali mong makita, maramdaman pero pag sayo na nangyayari hindi mo makita, hindi mo maramdaman). Then this really funny conversation happened on our way back to 113:

Kuya: Uwi na kami agad, manood pa kami ng Transformers sa ATC eh. Sama ko kay si Kylie?
Me: Kawawa naman ako, ako na naman ang third wheel. Wala akong kasama. *Tingin kay Joey*
Everyone at the back: Uy Joe, wala daw kasama.. Samahan mo nga.
*Everybody laughing except Joey, remained quiet*

And so that was it, after we parted ways we still texted and talked with one another. The next day, he invited me to our first date. It was last June 30, 2009 Tuesday at Mall of Asia. He fetched me at home, then went to Mall of Asia. We watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen at IMAX (first time namin manood ng IMAX ever). Ate lunch/merienda at Abe (it was so beautiful, it was over-looking the Manila Bay), started to tell stories about our lives. He invited me to have a few beers at Marina, continued to share stories about ourselves while enjoying good music (first time ever na may mag-aya sakin mag-inum sa date). Too bad I have to go back to school the next day, and get my evaluation form for my practicum from my former boss at Podium. Surprised, he insisted that he'll accompany me the whole day. So July 1, 2009 Wednesday he once again fetched me at home to take me to school (again, first time ito sa buong buhay ko). After waiting for me to be dismissed from school, we went straight to Podium. While waiting for my former boss we went to Starbucks to have coffee, again we shared stories about ourselves. Then there was this one moment while we were laughing but I wasn't looking at him but I knew he was watching me. But when I turned around to look at him, we looked each other in the eye, stopped laughing and smiled. At that particular moment, time stood still, it was as if we were the only people around, it was sheer bliss. At that time I knew, what we have is something special. After all that, we were going around Podium then he saw Holland Tulips and bought me pink lilies (my absolute fave flowers!), to me this was a sign. (Long before Joey came into my life, I told myself that the first guy to give me lilies, he would be the one for me).

And the rest is history, after that we continued communicating with one another then that fateful day came. It was July 10, 2009 Friday 12:30am, when Joey and I became "us" =). Then on that same date, he introduced me to his family.

Being with him is just pure bliss, even when we encountered (and I know we'll still encounter) bumps along the way, there is no other person I would rather go through with but him. I absolutely couldn't ask for more: such a loving, caring, loyal, honest, understanding, patient, super super sweet (In his own words: "Sagutin mo lang ako habang buhay kita liligawan"), fun, open-minded person (ano pa ang hahanapin ko diba). I know we're not perfect, but we're just perfect for each other, just perfect for me.

I am on a high, there's nothing more to it.

Yesterday, I felt one of the greatest feelings ever. A absolutely great feeling one college student will ever experience! :)

Yesterday was our thesis defense, wherein you discuss your thesis in front of three panelists, report all the results of the study and after such the panelists will ask a series of questions regarding your works. Our thesis was all about the sexualization of women in the feature articles and images of women in Philippine tabloids. Me and my thesis mates really worked hard and placed so much effort into our work and it was judged yesterday.

And thank God, the results were great. Although I didn't get a grade that high but at least all of us were able to pass. After announcing to us our grades and after the panelists have left I felt so much happiness and as if a ton of weight was lifted off my shoulders. It was as if we were in a do or die game of an La Salle vs. Ateneo, the final game that will settle it all, and we won, haha! :) I really felt have and I truly appreciated all my friends who congratulated me especially when I was congratulated by the love of my life. But I felt so happy I almost cried when I told my parents that I was able to pass my thesis defense. All they had was words of praises for me- that they were so proud of me, they knew I could do it, that they were so grateful to have a daughter like me. I felt so loved by them, by all the people I love.

I'm such in a high right now, its as if anything is possible for me after conquering my thesis defense. Although, this is still not the end of it I will still go through a lot requirements to pass and to accomplish but I can see greener pastures already, I know I will graduate. :)

153 days and still counting.. still going strong.

2009-12-10T22:17:00.001+08:00

December 10, 2009 Thursday

Today I had one of the most happiest days of my life. Despite my need to prepare and study for my thesis defense on Monday (Wish me much luck! :) ), writing my paper for Feature and Technical Writing class and my revision for the yearbook's article; I went to Enchanted Kingdom (EK) with Joey, my Love. :)

Today's the day we celebrate our 153th day together. At first I thought today was just going to be another day, I go to school; he goes to school and we celebrate our monthsary on the weekend but at 8am this morning he texted me, telling me if I really needed to go to school today, and the obvious answer would be no, hahaha! Then I called him and asked him why he asked then he told me to prepare already because we are going to Enchanted Kingdom today (and he planned it already days before)

10:30am he fetched me here at home then went to his school first because he needed to pass some requirements then went straight to EK, but since I didn't eat breakfast yet I was already hungry so we decided to eat at Mcdo at Waltermart, Sta.Rosa. After sharing stories and having a hearty meal we already headed to EK.

Upon arriving Enchanted Kingdom... apparently, we weren't informed that a HUGE amount of the student population from different schools will be having their field trip there and on that day but that didn't stop us from enjoying our day. The first thing we did was to try the 4D and The Journey to the Center of the Earth was being shown. I enjoyed the ride despite experiencing double-vision due to the goggles and poor eyesight. Since long lines were very evident on the rides I want to go to, we decided to go around first. As we were going around my Love was so excited in trying our new Nikkor 35mm lens, and took lots of pictures of me, hehe. :)

Then we decided to go to the Science Discovery Exhibit, as we were approaching the said exhibit we were curious as to why there were a lot of people gathering in front of the exhibit.. only to find out that a celebrity who is currently linked with the Pacman, hahaha! On the Science Discovery Exhibit, we just acted like kids who are seeing this inventions for the first time. We really had a fun time here and tried every invention that was present. After such, we continued to roam around until I got tried of roaming around and convinced Love to take risks and join the people who were lining up for the rides.

The first ride we rode was the Flying Fiesta, then went ahead to the Juggle Log Jam. Before heading to our next ride Anchors Away, we stood by, watched and took pictures of the "fire eaters" (I don't know what to call them sorry, hehe) Having a lot of laughs on the Anchors Away, we lined up on our last ride the Wheel of Fate. The lines were really exagge, but I really want to ride it, so we were really patient despite me being hungry already, and as we were nearing the gondola.. the actress who is currently linked to the Pacman and that boy who is friend's with Bro had a shoot on the Wheel of Fate. People (especially men) went gaga over that actress and the kids went gaga for that boy, hahaha! After all that trouble and me being so irritated by that matter... we were able to ride, finally! I really enjoyed the cool Christmas breeze and enjoyed the view over-looking the whole hectare of the Enchanted Kingdom. The whole place was filled with Christmas lights, which gave me a feeling of sadness. I don't know why, but every time I look at Christmas lights.. it really gives me a sense of sadness and melancholy.

After the rides are emptied, the lights start to go out and people start to leave what is left in me is a wonderful and blissful memory of today. A day spent with the most important person in my life, the person whom I really love and cherish, the person whom I can't imagine a life without him. A day where what mattered most was just the two of us, and making each other happy; and a day we just forgot the world. And you know what the truth is? For the past months, I really felt that.. I want to be near him everyday; I just can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him.

Ang Aking Suliranin.

Ito nanaman ang panahon na tinatamad ako. Yung tipong ayaw kong gumawa ng kahit ano kung 'di humiga, matulog at kumain. In short, buhay baboy. Hindi ko alam kung anong meron nanaman sa akin at ito nanaman ang nararamdaman ko. Dahil siguro ako ay bored, at naghahanap ng excitement sa buhay. Siguro, kailangan ko ng bagong mangyayari sa buhay ko, yung break ba from the routine life. Sa katunayan nga eh, dapat hindi ako ngbblog eh, may dapat akong gawin na mas importante pero eto ako, nagsousound trip at nagbblog.

Eto pa ang isa kong nararamdaman. Ang matinding pagkamiss sa aking mga kaibigan. Masyado na kaming busy sa aming buhay, dahil graduating na kami. Sa 7 kong super close na mga kaibigan, yung 4, sobrang bihira nalang kami magkita kahit na sa isang school kami nag-aaral. Yung 3 naman ay nasa ibang school, hindi kami makapunta sa isa't isa dahil sa layo at sa sobrang busy ng schedule namin.

Kadalasan naiisip ko, na sana bata na lang ulit ako. Walang responsibilidad, walang iniintindi, walang obligasyon. Buhay na simple lang at walang pinoproblema. Sympre alam ko na hindi pwede na ganito lang ang buhay lagi, kasi you need to grow. Pero hinahangad ko lang naman ang ganitong buhay, buhay na masaya.

Haaayyy.. Hindi ko alam. Kailangan ko lang talaga siguro ng isang bagay na magtutulak sa akin para naiisin ko magsipag. Siguro kailangan ko lang muna lumayo sa magulo at maingay na mundo ng Maynila at pumunta sa isang lugar na may buhangin, puno ng niyog at dagat kasama ang aking mga kaibigan at ang pinakamamahal ko sa buhay. Kailangan ko lang siguro makita ulit ang aking mga kaibigan, upang mapawi ang aking pagkalumbay sakanila.

O, sya. Kailangan ko lang siguro itulog ito baka pag gising ko wala na ito. Paalam.

Latest version of f4, a new version of our group.

This is such a late post. Its only now that I had the time to post this entry. This are photos of my first event with Impact Unlimited Inc. I was stationed at the back stage assisting the hosts. The venue for the event was The Loft, Rockwell. The event we did was for Johnson & Johnson's awarding for their suppliers. I had such a great time here, I did not know Mojo is really good looking, we had him as a host together with Grace Lee.
This is a sample photo release I did for Australian College of Hair Design and Beauty's launch. The launch was held at the 4th floor of The Podium. This was the 2nd event I did for Impact Unlimited Inc. and I worked as a Project Assistant. I had soooo much fun doing this event, I got to meet new friends and got a load of freebies.

Passion.

Finally I found a career that I am really passionate at. Something I know I would love doing for the rest of my life. The career that I would certainly love and I would be happy at. And I found it at Events Management. I'm currently fulfilling my On-the-Job Training (OJT) at Impact Unlimited Inc. I really love it here, I don't feel that I am only doing my OJT but it is as if I am already working with them. I don't mind working the long hours, as long as I love what I do. Its a good thing me and my other 2 friends are seriously planning to start up our very own event management production. Finally, I found what I truly want to do with my life.

Thanks to Belle J. I've been addicted to Japanese & Korean love stories. I love them sooooo much, so much that they make me cry. I recommend you to watch them
