graduation day

tomorrow, april 28, saturday…UPLB graduation day. i will be attending the ceremony but only from a distance. i will only be there to watch my friends march and share in the festivities. i won't be graduating this year and i'm not even sure if i will be graduating at all! gawd! this is so embarassing for me…never in my wildest dreams did i see things happening this way. was i that bad a person to deserve all this? i guess it's (entirely) my fault. kasalanan ko lahat! there's nobody to blame but MYSELF.

anyway, on a lighter note, i'm happy for those graduating this year. CONGRATULATIONS to all graduates! especially to sol&carh, joy, wongki, les, thin, and myca. also to jay, my ate's boyfriend. i hope i didn't miss anyone. baka magtampo…haha…as if nagbabasa sila dito.  

see you all tomorrow!!!

in my life

IN MY LIFE by Patty Austin

Although music is sweet
But the song incomplete
Now in my life,
Boy in my life
Something is missing


It's the truth, yes it's true
Still there's no me and you
Here in my life
Boy in my life
Something is missing


In my life there ain't no melody oh no
In my life there ain't no harmony
To let me sing a song
All I need is a cue when I'm waiting for you
Boy in my life
You are the melody
Coz in my life
You are the song


Baby, in my life
You are the song
You are my melody
To me baby, in my life
You are my song

weekend party

first of all, i just want to say…

Happy Birthday, Danielito! 

spent the weekend in elbi (again!). the main purpose of my visit was to attend a 2-day meeting, which eventually led to two nights of nonstop partying! yahoo! i was able to bond once again with my sisses, at the same time, i was able to finally voice out some sentiments to one person, which i kept hidden for quite a while. to sum it all up, i had a blast! it was really fun listening to the same old stories…hihi.

one unforgettable incident that i witnessed while i was there was seeing this drunk guy sprawled out on the street with his bicycle. at first, we thought he was hit by the tricycle that stopped near him. it turns out the tricycle driver was just having a closer look at the guy and see what really happened to him. we saw puke all over, that's when we concluded that he was just drunk and wasn't seriously hurt. what we did was we woke him up and tried to move him to the side of the road. we offered to get him a ride home but he refused. he said he was okay (but we knew he wasn't) and insisted that he could go home on his own via his bicycle. we couldn't stop him from mounting his bike and falling again. he already had several bruises and scratches from his falls but still he wouldn't stop from trying. eventually, we gave up. we left him on the side of the road and gave him time to sleep, then we hid his bicycle among the bushes…now, i wonder what happened to him…did he ever get home?

lessons learned: 

1. do not drink and drive (even if its just a bicycle)
2. drink moderately
3. if you plan to get wasted, make sure you have a companion who's sober

breaking up and moving on

8 things that will heal a broken heart

Breaking up is never fun. The end of a relationship means the beginning of a period of mourning and healing for both people. If the break up was mutual both people will experience a period of adjustment where they are getting used to no longer being together. If the break up was not mutual the person who ended things may be dealing with guilt and feelings that they may have made a mistake. The person being broken up with will definitely have to adjust, first to being rejected and second to life without somebody they still care for. How do you get through those first few weeks? Here we list eight essential things everybody must do in the early days of a break up to let the healing begin.

1. Avoid the former love. Yes, avoid. No, this isn’t being immature. Seeing your former flame can bring out emotions and may cause you do to or say something you will regret. In the first few weeks the best thing you can do for yourself is not be where you know they will be.
2. Talk out your feelings with close friends. Get everything out so that you won’t hold it inside. Your friends may get sick of hearing you talk about the situation but you need to let out all your feelings and thoughts or they may come back to bite you later.
3. Cry if you want to. It’s OK to cry over a loss. Don’t hold back, let the tears roll just do it in a safe and private place where it is unlikely to get back to your ex. You don’t want your tears to be used as a guilt trip. Their purpose is to cleanse you of any pain not make your lover come back.
4. Let go of mementos. Put away or give away anything and everything that reminds you of the relationship. Hide them out of sight so they will be out of mind until you are able to remember the relationship without longing for it to still be going strong.
5. Don’t slip up and get together with your ex. When you are feeling sad or missing a relationship it can be very easy to fall back in to the arms of your ex but DO NOT DO THIS. This will only set you back and let’s face it, if things ended the relationship wasn’t perfect to begin with so why would you want to rekindle things?
6. Focus on all the things about your ex that drove you crazy, turned you off, or that you just plain found annoying. Think about these things often and replay them in your mind over and over. Dwell on them. It will make you feel better to remember that your former flame was not perfect and that there are things you won’t really miss.
7. Think about the mean, cruel or rude things your ex may have done in your relationship. Really give these things play in your memory. Remind yourself that somebody who truly cared for you would not have done such thoughtless things and tell yourself (over and over) that you are better off without that kind of ego crushing behavior in your life.
8. Maintain a strict no contact policy and stick with it. Don’t pass notes through friends. Don’t make any calls. Stay away from instant messaging or texting on your cell. Just don’t contact your ex until you are totally and completely sure you no longer want to be with him or her. It is the only way.

Mending a broken heart is not easy but it can be done. Just stick to the game plan outlined above and before you know it you’ll be just fine. Good luck!

friday the thirteenth

Happy Friday the 13th, everyone!

it's friday the 13th! and whatever you call it — tradition, superstition, folklore, or urban legend, the fear of this day isn't exactly grounded on logic. but, the really strange thing is, people who believe that this day bring bad luck without offering any explanation. 

this superstition does have deep, compelling roots, however, and the origins help explain why the belief is so widespread today.

face your fears

i promised myself i'd go to the dentist… that was last week. after a series of minor toothaches that came and went, i felt like it was time to face my fears of dentists. but up 'til now, i never had the courage to actually go visit a dentist and consult about my aching tooth. i've always feared visits to the dentist. this is especially true when i was a little girl. whenever the dentist checks up my teeth and tells my mom that she has to pull one out, i would instantly cry. having my tooth pulled out is very painful (for me). i wish my mom was here right now to accompany me to the dentist! …but i know that sooner, rather than later, i'd have to face this fear. because the time will come when i will have to accompany my daughter to the dentist and, somehow, i have to be strong for her.

text messages

one day,

i asked an old man why he hasn't married…

he answered, "i'm still waiting…"

i laughed at his reply…

but i was touched when i heard him whisper,

"…she told me she'd be back…" 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

love is like the rain. it gently pours.

but sometimes it's raging fast.

but why is the rain so special???

'cause like love… you can feel it… but you can't stop it!
