Pink and Sparkles

I heard this thing again… "Naiintindihan kita.  That's why I know where you're coming from…" on tv.

It made me remember one heartwarming and eye-opener chat conversation, me and my friend had last week.  Opening up about one's self is a thing I cherish and acceptance is what I think is the best gift that can ever be given…

It's not about who you are but on what character you have built and what your friends will remember and love.

The week never sleeps

This is one great week I am excited to come.  Setting aside the red marks on my organizer relating to all "to do's at work", there's a lot more that keeps me awake this week. I'll be seeing Matto, Evy, Jacqui and Maan in our usual hangout.  That big fries in McDo - Tomas Morato will always be memorable to me.  Now, it's Cravings… hehehe

Is it bye-bye for our well-loved Evy, a pajama party for the soon-to-be bride(s)?!  Is this the end of all single peks out there?! Well, well, well..

Weekend is definitely a family affair as we invade Manaoag this Friday night!  I might missed seeing Piolo's concert but definitely wouldn't miss this chance to be with my Mader, Daddy and Rovs.

I am excited to be making very important decisions with them… Haayy…  

Super Cry

My friend, Emz, is insisting that I play instrumentals on her wedding on December 1^st.  Of course, I can’t say “no” to a friend…  I just couldn’t imagine how hard it is to play piano in front while wiping my tears as she walks down the aisle… it takes three hands to do that. 

When it’s my closest friends getting married, rest assured that I am the most affected soul on earth hehehehe.  And during the wedding itself, I bring a long a handful of hanky and wipes coz I am crying more than their parents and siblings do.  Kakainis talaga!!!

That’s why I always come late… to save some more tears before the picture-taking galore… hehehe

Can’t imagine how I will cry hard when it’s Besku’s turn… surely, it’s atungal mode … Iniisip ko palang sumisinghot-singhot na ako hehehehe   Will it still happen ba, Besku?

The Song of Sheggz

I finally found a song for myself.  Though I have early favorites like "Reflections and Journey" by Lea Salonga…. but there's something that stick right into my senses… First heard of it at the conference room right before we had a serious meeting.  The rhythm is good and when I finally read the lyrics… ohhhh… Sheggz na Sheggz… hehehe

Whenever I feel so stressed out… I just tuned in to this song… it makes cell regeneration and spirit rejuvenation hahahaha … Early in the morning I dance and sing …. "I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got… We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl.. I know exactly where I stand…"

Just like now, why blogging… I'm stamping my feet under the table.. preparing for a big blow of my new project… and to save more energy… I'm humming this…  "And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else… 'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl…. I know exactly who I am…"

Real Girl
By Mutya 

If I had one chance to
In my life again
I wouldn't make no changes
Now or way back when (yeah)
And if everything turns out
The way I hope it goes
But I cant wait to find out
What it is that God knows

But I don't wanna think about
What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day
'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand

And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am

And nothing's ever perfect
There's no guarantee
And if I knew the answers
It would put my mind at ease (no)
So I'll just keep on going
The way I've gone so far
And maybe I'll end up
Tryin' to catch a fallin star (yeah)

But I don't wanna think about
What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day
'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand

And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am

Baby this is who I am
Don't need you to understand
'Cause everything is right where it should be
It wont be long til you know about me,
'Cause I don't give a…
Even when I'm out of love
'Cause everythings just how it should be
And it wont be long till you know about me

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand

And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand

And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am

Broken Heart Syndrome

I was dead asleep when I got a fone call at midnight. I was about to continue sleeping when I saw something in TV which is just beside the corner. "Broken Heart Syndrome" as shown in PROBE.

This is the only time I treated it seriously that depression and stress can kill!  The doctor stressed out how our heart malfunctions in times like these..

The last thing that my mind recalls after getting back to sleep is "Takotsubo cardiomyopathy".  You can die from a BROKEN HEART.  Because I can't resist the call of sleeping, I just had it in mind.. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.  Why I am so concerned about this?  At one point or the other, I know I have suffered from this… as far as the symptoms are concerned… To alleviate it from your system, you've got to do something…

Early this morning, I browsed the net for information regarding this.. and found some links that might be of interest to you…

• Broken Heart Syndrome: Real, Potentially Deadly but Recovery Quick.

• Frequently Asked Questions about Broken Heart Syndrome
• Takotsubo cardiomyopathy
• Broken Heart Syndrome is Real: Lost Love Really Can Cause A Broken Heart

How Lolo does it…

My brother fetched me up last night from work and shared to me his sentiments about his job.  As far as I know, he's more professional than I am in a lot of ways more especially at work.  Now, I am hearing him complaining about "work attitudes and behaviors".

I was just silent till I learned that he's finished talking.  You cannot change the way they think or feel about themselves and towards their job and the necessity to earn for a living.  Your desire level to keep your work is different from theirs.  They work for the sake of working but in our case, we work to earn and live.  Work is our bread and butter.. another toinkable thot from my Lolo.  That's how we were trained. If you don't earn, you ain't got nothing to feed yourself.  In short, you earn what you eat. Treat them nice, otherwise, don't be bothered.

This is a corporate jungle.  A lot of beasts messing around masked and unmasked.  And for you to survive, you bring with you your talent, your individuality, professionalism and your values… the rest, you can just have it in your pocket. 

He asked me about my work principle… and I simply answered.. "To hell with the world, I would just like to do good and excel!"

The result…. "you will always be recognized even you don't intend to be recognized… and your presence will always be felt even after long years of absence…"

Ayt!  Enjoy your work and reap the benefits… That's how Lolo works eh!

Manong Mop

Umuulan na naman kanina.. naalala ko na naman si Manong Mop… siya ung katiwala ng underpass sa Quiapo na walang ginawa kundi panatilihing malinis ang underpass.. sa tag-init.. taga-alis ng nakadikit na bubble gum o anumang nanikit na dumi sa hagdan at pag tag-ulan… haayyy… siya ang nagmomop ng bakas ng basang sapatos sa daraanan..

Hati ang paglilinis.. sarado ang kalahati dahil iyon ang nililinis habang ang kabila naman ang bukas para sa daraanan ng tao.

Hindi ko na nagagawang kuwentuhin si Manong Mop dahil sa ilang taong pagdaan-daan ko dun, laging karipas ako ng takbo o yung lakad ko, animo'y takbo.  Pero kahit na nagmamadali ako, hindi ko makalimutan na dumihan ang anumang winalisan o na-mop nya na..

Bwisit ako sa mga taong, nakita nang nililinis nung tao, ay titikisin pang doon dumaan.  Sa hindi mabilang na bakas ng sapatos na paroo't parito.. hindi ka ba naaawa sa taong naglilinis nun?  Pakunswelo na lang kahit konti… kahit na sabihing trabaho niya ang maglinis.. makakatulong ka kahit paano na hindi na makadagdag pa sa lilinisin..

Tulong mo na yun kay Manong Mop. Mabait siya… o siguro hindi na makuhang magsalita sa pagod… ikaw ba naman ang maghapong maglinis ng underpass…

Hanapin mo siya ha… andun lang cia lagi…

I CAN

"I CAN is 100 times more important than IQ…"

The year is about to end in less than a month and yet my list of "to do's" at work are piling up.  I am not complaining, though… I am blessed to be here not because I am compensated but my skills are extensively used till the last drop of my sweat!  Something that I don't imagine myself doing but I thrived hard to do.. and excel….

I love to sleep because I am so tired and I love to eat because I am so hungry… it's the exercise of your full potentials and seeing them working positively for you and for others is what makes it worth keeping.

I am excited with the new project… overlapping my existing load… hehehe I dunno how I will manage my time… At what time will I sleep?

I told you… there are a lot of things I don't know… all I have is the initiative and the will to do it… I may not be as brilliant as the others… but my will power is enough to conquer all the fears..

In short… that's what AJAH is all about!! Fight!!!

Boyfriend, Girlfriend

Nagsimula ang lahat sa …. "Napanaginipan kita.  Anlaki laki ng mata mo sa galit dahil sa hindi ko nauupdate pa ung test cases! Ang sungit mo.. nakakatakot ka…"

Dala ng sobrang pagod at puyat, nakatulugan ko ang paguupdate ng test cases na hinihingi sa akin ng officemate ko. 

Nang dahil doon… nag-ugat ang lokohang "Kami Na!"… na ipinaalam lang sa akin ng mga kaofficemates ko sa text habang iyong isa ay ipinangalandakan na sa email. 

Kung tawagin namin ang isa't isa ay "Boyfriend, Girlfriend" at kanina nga lang ay "Love" na ang tawag sa akin. Hehehe <kilabot mode>

Nakakatuwang pagkatuwaan ka ng mga tao… nakakaalis ng stress paminsan-minsan ang mga tuksuhan… tulad ng pagbili ng crib para sa 7 puting tuta na nasa sinapupunan ko hehehe… bawal nang magpuyat at manigarilyo si boyfriend dahil makakasama sa pagbubuntis ni girlfriend.

Ang maagang paguwi ni Boyfriend para magsaing at maghanda ng baon kinabukasan para sa mga tutang isisilang… hehehe

Natawa pa ako ng ang isang officemate ko ang nagsabing, "natutuwa akong marinig sa maghapon ang Boyfriend, Girlfriend na yan." Hahahaha

At kanina nga lang… natawa ako nang sinabi niya sa akin… 'Bigyan mo ako ng space!' habang magkatabi kaming kumakain ng dinner… Kung ganito talaga ang relasyon ng tunay na mag-asawa… isa lang ang masasabi ko… lubhang nakakalokah!

Oh, Boyfriend… baka madevelop ka na! Hahaha
