my old home

it has been 4 months since i was here... and i'm missing it. this has been my home for 2 years...

with him... this place witnessed everything.. from day 1 up to the day he resigned...

strength area. where we do our arm, leg and back exercises... we ususally hate this place pag weekdays kasi laging ang daming tao. but during his workout, this is where he spent most of his time...

this is where we first met. dito sya inintroduce sakin... habang bumibili sya ng soy magic. and this is our meeting place also.. pag pauwi na kami...

and this place, kapag full house sa may cardio area, dito kami nag free-free weights. pati abs exercise dito na rin

i just miss the place.. i just miss the old times... 

i just miss him...

it has been almost 2 months since he left... and it has been almost 2 months since i have a new angel guiding me...

yes it was indeed.


after a long long time of not seeing each other --- even communicating with other, time finally brought us to end up the so long silence and hug each other again...

... on her wedding day. And i missed her so much.

It was such a joy and I am thankful that what happened way way back was now a history. I am blessed to regain the friendship we once lost...

And to officially re-connect the gap, she sent me an invitation to witness the most important day of her life... and I would give-up any commitment for that day just to be there... because it will also be the "one of the most treasured moments in my life..."

and we are complete again... sayang, coz missing in action si chie... 

but definitely i am happy... 

wrapping up

its 2008.


looking back, my 2007 was a year where I almost experienced all the things I never expected to happen. Needless to say, i have grown, learned lots of lesson, discovered many things, understood the unexplainable... experienced life.

It was a year where I thought I would almost give-up. A year where almost every worst experience that I could imagine, happened. The latter part of the year was the most painful... a point where every aspect of my life has its own complications that I have to deal with.

He left me, not his personal choice but our Big Daddy up there. I thought that the pain I felt when mom left me 5 years ago wont happen again. But it did. This time it was him, Marlo... the person I thought would be the one whom i'll live forever to. It was a wonderful love. It was a confusion on the early part of the year... doubts, questions, maybe(s)... which took me to almost quite let go... good thing I never did... good thing I stayed till the end... 

All the questions have been answered though. But it was too late. He has to go. And I know he's happy and contended up there. 

Financial aspect wasn't also that "very good". It was just enough to survive and to answer my needs. Talk about the cost of being independent.. all the bills - house rent, electricity, water, miscellaneous, credit cards, etc. and not to mention food budget. Definitely I would make my 2008 a better financial year for me.

Got sick too... A number of diagnosis came up that needs to be treated.  And with God's grace, im getting better.

And still, i am thankful for them. For without those complications, I wouldn't be as stronger as I am now. I wont be able to see other side of things that I'm suppose to learn.

It was also in 2007 that I was able to make the most out of my biggest hobby... TRAVEL.  It was in this year that I've been able to explore our dear homeland... up way north to down south. From middle of the year down to its latter part, i found myself boarding a plane almost every week... saw myself seeing for the first time the richness and different culture of our dear Philippines. And I am sure, 2008 will still be the same for this. And I am looking forward to more land, water and air travel. 

I have found real friendship.. build new ones and keeping the treasured few. I am blessed to have true friends who never turned their back on me and stayed on that down moments. Giving me the needed support and making me smile.

I have become myself and this I owe to what everyday life has offered me. It wasn't easy... it was a struggle... and im glad i've made it.

I pray that my 2008 would be better.. more experiences.. more challenges... I would not ask for more... just a prayer that everything would fall into places and that living life would have a different meaning.

started t off with a children's christmas party at strata office.. where all the kids of my officemates had a get-together, exchange of gifts and an overflowing fun and games. I love kids!  I really do.. and i enjoyed this moment with them..


after the children's party, we're off to our warehouse for our "HAT-BINGO" Christmas Party. Yup, our theme was "wear your most creative hat and it comes together with a "Bingo Sosyal" game. 

Oh well.. i am not really lucky in this kind o game.. Out of the 5 games, i never had the chance to win... tama na daw na maging controller ako ng bingo program... hay!!!

nevertheless, we had so much fun.. there's a presentation from every department... and if last chritmas we bragged the best presentation award, this year we only got the third place.. but it's ok... its just for fun anyway. And not to mentio the raffle prizes and the gift certificates that everybody got...

check out more pics of our christmas party at my multiply site.

KARMA

realization:

there are people who would do all that they can to destroy your credibility in order to protect their name and to hide all the lies they have done. 

there are some who would make up stories just to earn self-worth. And for that person to be able to manipulate everyone else around him.. making everyone believe in him in the expense of others, i guess was a "one-of-a-kind-talent"

there's just this one thing that i believe in... KARMA.

it works so fast... 

In celebration of our company's 9th year anniversary, we sponsored a Gawad Kalinga Build Day last Friday, December 8, 2007 at Munting Paraiso, Trece Martirez Chapter.

Straight from our Metrobank M-Card sign-up activity and with almost no sleep at all (because we finished the sign-up activity at 2am Friday morning), me and eka headed to the Build Day site to arrange everything so that as soon as everyone arrives, everything will be all-set. Yeah, we have no choice but to do this because we were the one assigned to organize this activity. But of course, we also wanted to do this thing... we are excited actually.


Already at the site at around 8am. By that time, some of the beneficiaries are already there, some are already doing the construction works, and some are preparing for our arrival...Our office mates arrived soon. And when almost everyone was there, Build Day activity started. Some started to lift hollow blocks, others mixing the cement, everyone started to act as "construction workers".

We also do the "hollow blocks relay" wherein we formed a straight line from the hollow blocks stocks to the area where the house is being build. We pass one hollow block to another until all the stocks are transferred. Everyone participated. Joined together. And this amazes me. I felt the "hand-in-hand" factor and it really made me feel light. Teamwork... reaching out...

After the hard works, we also prepared some food, raffle activities and some grocery items to the benificiaries...

It was such a wonderful feeling knowing that you have been part of an activity that helps a lot of people. Lending a helping hand to those in need... a feeling that i wouldn't exchange for anything...




i am blessed i am a part of this family....

Now, i can finally say goodbye...

my last tears fell... my heart so broken now finally have its time to heal... no more holding back...

i know you're in peace. i know you can see me...

to the very end you showed me you've hold on to our promise. you've waited for me before you left...

you left not by choice... because it's your time...

our Big Daddy up there needs you now... and you have to go...

its just now that things are starting to sink in... i have to face the reality that you're gone...

you're a one big part of my life that i would never exchange for anything. Your the greatest thing that ever happened to me. You've showed me a lot.. learned so much... loved unconditionally...

and now you're my angel... (together with my mommy)

i know you're just around....

i will terribly miss you....

...till i see you there....
