It All Ends 08.16.11

I feel it is time for a new challenge and this is a good opportunity TO FURTHER MY CAREER GOALS. I want to begin a new chapter in MY CAREER.


I've taken much consideration and now I've finally decided.


Working for McDonald's for four years has been a wonderful experience.I feel privileged to have been part of M1 and I'll surely miss some of my colleagues especially those who've been close to me.


It is time to move on. Time to move forward. Time to grow up. Time to discover new things and gain new experience for a better life in the future.


I appreciate both the professional and personal growth opportunities that have been provided to me during my time with the company.

Black Butterfly

Why black? I don't even know.

Black represents me. And like a black butterfly, they're thinking that I am a useless and creepy earthling. For a lingering black butterfly will bring death and when it lands on you, will bring misfortune.

I wish I was dead.

Long Distance

The harder part of growing-up is falling in love. But the hardest part is falling for someone who is miles away from you.


Trust is the foundation of this kind of relationship, yet it is always tested by time and the fact of being apart. Some people say it's easy, some say it reveals a person's heart. I swear, absence can kill. Loyalty is the only thing that makes it last but how can you be loyal if you can't actually trust yourself? Is it because of the thing they call fear? Or somehow part of your insecurities?


All I really want is to be with him but he's so far. All I can do right now is to wait. I know things would never be the same again, yet, I can't teach my heart to forget about this guy. I'm running out of things to do just to get him off my mind.


Each night I pray for the strength that I need to face this test of time.


I never noticed I've fallen this deep. I've fallen deeply in-love with that guy. I just can't find ways to let go of something that has never started.

Covetous...

Parsimonious. 

That's what they are. We cannot change them. It's their nature. They always have rapacious desire, especially for wealth or possessions. Having excessive desire for material things is excruciatingly bad. They would do anything just to get what they want. Shockingly wicked!

Always bear in mind that material things are FUTILE. You may be able to get everything you want but those things are very unimportant, worthless, useless, and very unsatisfactory. 

Utterly Foolish

My cousin made me laugh. The last time we saw each other was way back when we were in grade 2. So... We were both 8 that time. As you can see, the first question that he asked was "Ilan na ang boyfriend mo?" Instead of asking "Kumusta?" I don't know how to answer that question. It was a wall post so I was thinking that my mom would be able to read our conversation. I tried to answer him through chat but I had to think twice. I was just trying to be canny this time. Then I answered, "hahahahaha. bawal pa, ayaw pa ni mama."

"ganon ba?o takot ka lang sa lalaki?hahaha" he replied.

Damn. I don't know how to answer such absurd question. Then I tried to change the topic by asking about his job and what so ever. Urgh... He was always asking silly questions that I could hardly answer directly and all I have to do is to open another topic though. 

Finally, he popped and said... "Couz, out na ako. Ingat na lang lagi."

I actually had series of relationships, rather series of illegal relationships but only two were serious: my 1st boyfriend; and the one I recently broke up with. haha. Funny. I also experienced being a 'third-party'- while also committed with other guy. It was like playing hide-and-seek. I broke up with my boyfriend and also with my 'boylet' to clean my conscience. But after a month, my boyfriend asked for another chance. Fine. I gave him another chance but then I easily broke up with him because of my unfaithfulness... (For the second time). I met another guy and fell deeply with him. Yeah, I know it was my fault but who would actually love someone who only knows how to drink and smoke? Someone who don't even care about his appearance or grooming and even his personal hygiene? Someone who don't even know how to clean their house or even sweep their dusty floor? He was the worst guy I've ever had. F*cking truth! Ridiculous!

Anguish of A Wounded Heart

"If you really love him, you have to set him free."

So I let him go. I tried to move on and i tried to live my life like nothing happened. But there's always been this constant longing. The pain is still here. I wish that he is here but he's a thousand miles away. All I can do is to beg God to give me courage for me to be able to face all these hardships. I hope and I pray for this anguish to vanish like the frost that vanishes easily when the sun comes out.

'Social Climbers,etc.'

I hate social climbers. You can always see them in the mall. Wearing stinky ukay dresses or apparels with matching fake 'Gucci' or 'D&G' shades and sloppy wedges (also from their favorite 'All items 50Php' ukay store) just to show off. Wait. Don't forget their terrible dangling earings and bangles!

Then after a couple of hours of strolling, they'll dine in a fast-food chain and will try their very best to pronounce 'chicken fillet' or 'burger' but will end up saying 'checken fellet' or 'bor-gir'.

Another thing that I hate about them... They're always trying hard to speak in English. I know, I know. I'm not even good in English but their case is different. :)

They should bear in mind that being real is better than being a person who attempts to gain admission into a group with a higher social standing.

It's always good to be TRUE.

My Ideal Man

Here's a post that I googled long ago (haha) about finding Mr. Right:

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot,

who calls you back when you hang up on him,

who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat,

or will stay awake just to watch you sleep...

wait for the boy who kisses your forehead,

who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats,

who holds your hand in front of his friends,

who thinks you' re just as pretty without makeup on.

One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares 
and how lucky he is to have YOU...

The one who turns to his friends and says, that's her... UNKNOWN

Here's my IDEAL MAN ♥

He doesn't have to be good looking but not ugly.

He doesn't have to be tall but must be taller than me.

He doesn't have to be just smart but intellectual.

He must have a good sense of humor.

He must have the courage to face my parents.

He must be diligent.

He must be patient.

He must be a music lover.

Someone who knows how to listen.

Someone who is rational.

Someone who cares.

Someone who has a deep personality.

Someone who has the voice and not just someone who knows how to sing.

Someone who plays musical intruments and must be willing to teach me.

Someone who is willing to share his life with me, including his secrets.

Someone who is willing to accept my imperfections.

Someone who is willing to understand my mood swings.

Someone who will teach me how to love, not someone who will teach me how to lie.

Someone who will never let me down.

Someone who will never be a man of promises but a man of deeds.

Someone who will never kiss me when I'm drunk.

Someone who will not just give me a good life but someone who will assure me of security.

Someone who will exert effort just to be with me.

Someone who will never ever leave me alone.

Someone who will catch me when I fall.

Someone who will stand up for me forever.

Someone who will be here through it all.

Someome who will remain loyal to me come what may.

And above all, faithful to God.

These are just part of my  so called fantasies, but if YOU are really existing, kindly submit your resume with your 1x1 whole body picture and a copy of your transcript of records. Walk-in applicants are welcome to apply. hahahahahahahah

Baking

I really miss baking. I was blessed to be the top student in Culinary Arts class and had the privilege to teach my classmates about the techniques and procedures in baking pastries. Baking has been my passion and I really enjoyed sharing my ideas with them.

“Loving someone gives you the tendency to forget friendship for it’s no longer your priority. But someday when the love is gone, you will come looking for it again.”

…Indeed one of the most memorable letters I’ve ever received from a friend. This letter was given to me by Marivic T. Rosales in 2006 when I was deeply in loved with someone mentioned in her letter.

I just got home...

One thirty something in the morning and it's already July 2. I just got home from work. I finished the redemption booth but I am not satisfied with the outcome. They shouldn't expect much. I just used my resourcefulness in order to create that dreaded booth that looked like an altar lacking of candles and saints. Awful! Haha. They should've provided the materials but they only bought a long fuchsia ribbon for the dead.


On my way home, thank God I was beside the driver. Two intoxicated men stepped in and started their non-sense conversation like as if they were fighting. That conversation finally ended when one of them knocked like as if there's no tomorrow and uttered a bad word. Terrible. I thought something bad is going to happen.


Apart from being exhausted, I am starving and my head started to ache this much.What more can I ask for? tsk!

Horrendous!

First day of July. I'm starting to think that it's not my day. Yeah, first day of July and it's raining this hard. I hate it! I don't want my chucks to get wet and become sloppy. But I have to go to work and do those things again. Oh no. Again, I have to deal with other people's atrocious behavior. I want to ask myself... Is it still a matter of choice or a matter of fate?


Sooner or later I'll be out of that cage. Yeah. That would be the biggest and bravest decision ever.

The story behind the ring...

Marami ang nagtataka kung bakit until now treasured pa rin ang sing-sing na bigay ni Yec (my ex) sa'kin nung first monthsary namin (January 05, 2006). That was the first ever gift that I received from him and aside from that, siya pa lang ang guy na nakapagbigay sa'kin ng ring. Nung binigay niya sa'kin yun, hindi ko maipaliwanag ang feeling. Here's the story behind everything:


Three o'clock. Break time na! Ang saya ko kasi first monthsary namin... Pero mula nang pumasok kami sa classroom hindi pa kami nag-uusap. Kahit smile wala. Naisip ko tuloy na baka nakalimutan niya or galit siya sa'kin. Bakit nga kaya? Kinuha ko ang snack sa bag ko and niyaya na siya kumain. Di ako pinansin! Oh my! Galit nga kaya? Isang classmate ang nagsabi sa'kin.


"Monthsary niyo pala ngayon eh..." 


Nakalimutan siguro niya. Ang lungkot... :( 


Nainis ako. Binato ko sa kanya yung snack na hawak ko. 


"Oh, kumain ka mag-isa mo..."


Dahil sa inis, umakyat ako sa 3rd floor ng building at umupo sa may corridor. Then after few minutes umakyat din siya. Akala ko aawayin niya ako. Dala niya yung snack. Akala ko babatuhin ako, akala ko gagantihan ako. Akala, akala, AKALA. 




What's wrong with that guy? Naguguluhan ako. May kinuha siya sa bulsa niya. Nakalagay sa box. Kung di ako nagkakamali, pinapikit niya ako bago niya kunin sa bulsa. Pagdilat ng mata ko, nakita ko na may hawak siyang sing-sing. Sabi niya yung kamay ko daw. Nahiya ako, sabi ko ayoko. Ayoko naman na madisappoint siya at isipin na ayaw ko tanggapin yung ring. Nagfit sa daliri ko. 

Bukod sa sing-sing, may letter din siya na binigay sa'kin...



Jesley,


HAPPY 1 MONTH!!!


Thanks for the patience you gave to me... I love yah!!! Just to keep in touch and I wish that more years will come to our lives...


Keep this simple present into your heart as a symbol of true love. Wag mo yang iwawala dahiil kung sakaling magkahiwalay atyo then magkita uli tayo, yan ang una kong hahanapin sa'yo.


Salamat uli sa lahat at sana next month masaya uli tayo...

I LOVE YOU PO!!!

Hindi na ako umaasa. Pero tinatago ko pa rin yung ring kasi memorable at importante yun para sa'kin. ♪

So hard

Too much pain can cause death. I miss that guy. I wish he's here beside me. I want to hear his voice. I want to touch his hands and feel his embrace.


I MISS HIM SO MUCH!


This song is for you ♥ 

Rip Curl

I want that RIP CURL (BLP)  AURORA LADIES WATCH... Ma, that's what I want. :)

It all started when I saw someone selling stuffs online (she calls them replica) at 200 Php each. I was about to fill-up the online application form to grab one but out of curiousity, I googled its original price. I was shocked when I saw the difference. You can actually determine which one is genuine and which one is fake by simply looking at them. Another thing that caught my attention was the post I read that says: "Fakes are for dummies!"

At first, I thought it is okay to wear that replica cause I thought that nobody's gonna notice but after seeing the difference... God. Tama nga. Fakes are for dummies. Yung fake mukhang plastic lang.

Now alam ko na. Ma, I want that stuff! It will only cost you $70 or hati tayo. :D

I REAALLYY WANT AURORA!

... grown ups!

May nabasa akong description sa isang photo mo just now. Tama ka. 21- Legal age for you to do what you've been doing since 15. Naalala ko bigla yun. That line really made me smile.

We were both young that time. To be honest, tinatago ko pa lahat ng memoirs except sa more than a hundred letters na sinulat ko for you. Tinapon ko na, binalik mo kasi sa'kin and that time I felt like throwing everything. Yung little white stuff toy, nasa akin pa rin. Pero once ko lang ata itinabi sa pagtulog yun kasi natatakot akong madumihan. Nakalagay pa rin sa lata. And more than 10 times na muntik mahingi ng kung sinu-sino. Dala ng pagiging sentimental at pagiging masama, until now ayun, kinakalawang na ata yung lata.

Nagkatotoo yung sinabi nung iba nung time na iniiyakan pa kita.

"Don't worry, one day you'll see... Makakalimutan mo rin sya. Tatawanan mo lang lahat ng ito."

Taken after the recognition... 2006

Oo nga naman. Kasi everytime maiisip ko ang past, natatawa na lang ako. You were the first guy who made me cry. Ikaw yung first guy na gumawa ng corny yet memorable poem for me. Naalala ko yung day na binigay mo yung letter na nakasulat sa blue sheet of paper with matching scent of UCB 'Cold'. hehe

Nasaktan natin ang isa't isa dahil di pa right time. I know I've been too immature and I let emotions reign. What's important eh we were able to move on and sure ako marami ka rin natutunan so as me. Sabi nga ni Einstein:

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."

Changes. Super dami na nagbago. Pero kahit gaano karami ang changes, ang mahalaga yung memories. Kahit ano man yung past.

Thank you for being my number one. First bf, first date, first kiss, first dance, first everything. First love. Salamat sa pagtuturo sa'kin kung paano magmahal ng totoo. Salamat sa pagmamahal mo nung panahong 'yon, nung bata pa tayo. We were 15 and 16 pa lang ata that time. Anyway, nakamove-on na tayo and we had series of illegal relationships na nga after that eh. Good thing 21 ka na and magkakalegal relationship ka na one day. Unlike me na until now, it's a BIG NO NO. hahaha...

Good luck sa kanya-kanyang profession. :)

Random...

Buti naman at hindi ka bitter (you know who you are). Sorry talaga. I tried naman kaso di talaga. Ok na rin na sinabi ko na ng maaga. Friendship lang talaga maooffer ko. Thanks sa time and effort. Minsan lang talaga dumarating yun time na di ko naappreciate yung mga bagay at tao sa paligid ko that's the time when I really want to be alone. Alright, sige. FRIENDS! See you next year if ever. Pero baka di kita pansinin unless ikaw ang mauna. Wag mo nang itanong kung bakit. Di ko alam kung bakit pero ganun talaga ako eh.

Lethargic guy, haha! nakaganti rin ako sa lahat ng kagaguhan mo! Asahan mo na lagi pa kitang pag-iinitan. Bagong salta ka lang pero ang angas mo! Ano, suntukan? haha. Kawawa naman yung gf mo. Alam ba naman niya pinaggagawa mo? Feeling gwapo ka noh? Wala akong regrets sa mga kasamaang pinaggagawa ko sa'yo.

*****************

There's something wrong with me. Lately napapansin ko yung pagiging mainitin ng ulo ko. Lagi akong inaatake ng mood-swings at madalas kong pag-initan yung mga taong walang ginawa kundi sirain ang araw ko. Naisip ko tuloy yung sinabi ni Ma'am Kit (SYKES)... Naiinis siya sa mga taong nakakainis tapos di na mawawala yun. Parang pareho kami. Although dumarating yung times na nawawala, permanenteng andyan eh. Kahit walang ginagawa sa'kin.

*****************

Hindi ako nagseset ng requirements para maging kaibigan ko. Pero sino ba naman ang may ayaw sa mga taong totoo. Ayoko sa mga mapagpanggap, ilusyonada, plastic, mayabang, epal, sinungaling at kung anu-ano pa. Maging totoo ka lang. Ayoko rin sa mga inggitera. Laging kinukumpara ang sarili sa iba. Trying hard. Papansin, malandi, madaldal at sobrang arte.

*****************

I think I need to stop overthinking. It's not good for my health. Reduce stress... Ito na naman. haist!

To myself:

• Try to react on the situation itself, wag sa stress.
• Focus. Do all the things that need to be done and do not overcommit yourself in too many variant tasks because you'll never finish them the way you wanted them to be.
• Relax. Chill.
• Take steps to improve your weaknesses.
• Smile.
• Be happy.
• Above all PRAY!

*************

I'm starting to think that I am crazy and it's getting worst. tsk tsk!

Not over you yet, but I want to be your friend. :(

I still miss you. :(

Perplexed. I always check my inbox. Hoping that one day you'll post a reply. I am not anticipating but the hope is still here. Yes, perplexed. I am always confused. Whenever I'm ready to forget about you, then I'll realize that it is still you.

Sorry for being an enigma. I know I've been a source of annoyance to you. I let my heart control my mind and I let my emotions reign. 

It's always good to know that you're alright and you are happy with your chosen profession. I hope that one day you'll be back- as a friend who will make me realize that I also deserve to be happy and who will show me the meaning of life.  You'll always have a special place here in my heart

I'm not over you yet, but I want to be your friend. :(

Back off!

I enjoy being SINGLE. I don't think I can handle any serious relationship. I don't even want to be hooked-up with anybody. And yeah, you're free to change this, you just have to wait 'till you die. I hate commitments.

Courting through text messaging ain't enough! I don't even like the idea of religiously text messaging a suitor or what. You have to do something that will make me realize that you are worthy of receiving my 'YES'.

Think twice! I'm mischievous! I can crush your bones and burn them into ashes!

I don't care if they like you! At the end of the day, I'll be the one who'll decide. I don't even have to wait for that end of the day, I already know what to do. I'll kick your *** or smash your damn face or get the dagger and cut your... (Don't worry just your fingers, not your...)

Never assume! In your dreams man! Yeah, and I'll be your worst nightmare. 

Back off!

Blunder not...

I always act stupidly. Sometimes I know things but I have the tendency to act nonchalantly, then I'll see myself laughing sarcastically.

I am careless, clumsy, and vulnerable to pain. Yeah, 'pain'-all sorts of pain including heart ache which leads to heart failure and death. Being very uncanny is a very serious ailment that I can't easily cure whenever infected, then I'll end up with confusion.

I am heedless.Yes, I love day-dreaming. I keep on reminiscence the old times when I was 12. And I guess I was able to admit how I palpitated and how I stumbled. I am always dreaming about 'us'. Wondering about the things that might have been real.

I wonder what's the nexus of 'Blunder not' to its body...

'Sentimental Rubbish'

Just another day without your 'presence'.

Two weeks and two days without you kills me up inside. There are so many things I miss about you.

I find it hard to control my mood swings that's why I miss the way you make me smile. You are the reason behind my happiness despite all the bugbears and inequities that I am facing each day.

Missing that 'scheduled regular chatting with you'. I miss 'growing eyebags with you'. Though staying up late makes my head ache, I still loved doing it with you. I like sharing personal stories and opinions with someone I barely know (which I never do). Well, maybe I just feel comfortable sharing my entire life with you.

I miss it when you call me 'Banana', 'Nana' or 'Na'.

We have things in common. We can't say 'no', we hate dancing, and both of us like 'Just The Way You Are'. We also have the same reasoning in choosing a partner. But yes, you don't have much in common with anybody 'cause you are perfectly unique.

'YOU make me nervous'. I don't even know why. You said it's perfectly the other way around, I said no. I was the one who was biting nails while waiting for your response. You said maybe because you are not used to talking to people who are stalking your poems then you laughed. Maybe I've been a 'stalker' who loved reading your notes.

You made me realize that I also deserved to be happy. And no one should ever control my life because this is MY life.

"So now I'm alone and life keeps movin' on

But my destination still unknown, oh yeah

Will there be a time when I'll fall in love again?"

They say, I should let go and move forward but 'Will there be a time when I'll fall in love again?', 'cause the last time I checked... I found out that it's still you.

"Now it's time for me to find my happiness again

And the emptiness from missin' you

Will never ever end, baby..."

Yes, the emptiness from missing you will never end. I miss you.

How I wish you never turned your back on me 'cause despite all those revelations, I STILL WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND. :(
