Sto. Niño Fiesta

Straight from overtime work and baptism of gary's nephew vincent and eventually the new addition on the list of my inaanaks..we attended the annual celebration of sto.niño's fiesta, popoy and me ended up goofing around with ate olive's cam. I really am blessed to have him. My stress buster after a workweeklong (7 days of work!!!!)..kakapagod ha! Times like this makes working and living worthwhile.

Di kami gaanong makulit...wehehehe..

After ng mahabang paglilibot at pagpila, makita lang si sto.niño, it really made my day..really fun! Kahit pa ang sabihin "nila"...

Di ako inspirado sa pagsulat..kainis! ang masasabi ko lang ang gwapo ni popoy sa pic na ito...


The coming week shall be full packed!!! Need ko ng humabol sa audits ko dahil come March, countdown na naman ulit for the next dashboard!!! It makes me feel tired but excited on how will I be able to cut down time in preparation and works..

Next weekend, matutuloy na ang Caliraya namin..un lang wala pa akong camera!!!! Waaaaah!

Till next week, sayang di ako inspired to write ngaun..=(

But Im totally happy and contented.

the week that was..=)

This was post that should be last week pa kaya lang wala na akong time kaya ngayon lang ulit (sa may ari ng camera..salamat po..=)

This was taken during our Integrity and Compliance Seminar at the Heritage Hotel. Together with Ray from AP team! =)

Naubos ko ang food na yan..hahaha..gutom na kasi ako..mukha bang masarap? sa akin, masarap naman..wehehehe..=)

Si Henry Leong, legal counsel of asia, one of the speakers in our compliance seminar..pang korean telenobela ano? hahaha..he is by the way a malaysian..=)

At last, meet Balaji (in yellow), ang may pakana ng pahirap sa aming buhay..hehehe..together is the SEA eT&L team (from left to right, bev, arlene, shiella, balaji, joel, elmer, ms.riza, julie and moi! )

Wala akong time magkwento pics na lang muna..see you guys!

Sana pedeng di na mag-ot..waaaaaah!!!!

Starting the Heart's Month

February is a heart's month and GE started it right (on my own point of view) by sponsoring this cinema night..as the invitation goes...

Our Cinema Night featuring...

Working in GE has made me feel more blessed. Why is it so? Because I was able to watch this movie. As I may say, I am not that fanatic with watching movies in the cinemas (the big screen!). I would prefer it on TV. Why? Because the Ilocano in me. Haha! I don't know but I'd rather watch it on TV.

Together with my only one, Gary, we watched the movie! With free food! Pica pica!

Let us to go to my personal review of "The Holiday". Amanda and Iris, two ladies, two heartbroken ladies switched houses because of frustration with their men. Amanda, for having an unfaithful bf and Iris, chasing a guy for 3 long years without any assurance of being loved back. They switched houses and found their true love. Haha..What a review? Did I make you feel that you wanna watch the movie? Non sense.

What I really wanna say is that being blessed doesn't mean you will go through happy times always. After a heart breaks or any bad situations, one thing is for sure to happen, that won't stay, not unless, you did want it to stagnate into your heart and mind and eat the whole you. These people made a decision to move on..even for a short period and thereafter found something totally different, something that they thought will not happen, it may, but only in dreams. It moved me. Really. For something that I have in my mind. It makes me more ambitious of what life could be for me, gary and the people around me. That life is just one holiday to pass. and just like a holiday, it is so precious to us working people, we need to cherish every moment of this. Every moment that life has to offer us. It passes. Just do not miss the opportunity to grab the momentous experience of different emotions and situations.

Watch the movie, for lots of laugh and a wonderful lesson to keep!!!!

~~~> Side dish =) Wednesday of this week (7th), we had our compliance and integrity conference at the Heritage Hotel in Roxas Blvd. It seems that GE really give me more inspiration to dream BIG!!!! Post some pics later..

Have I been going to far..Maybe need to sleep. For tomorrow is another working day for us. =)

Have a happy hearts week!!!

Desktop Therapy

Yup, you heard it right, this is the scenery that soothes my stressed mind here in work. Minsan talaga kailangan natin gumawa ng paraan para mai-divert ang attention natin sa bagay na makakapagpapasaya sa atin like this place. This shot was taken from a resort in El Nido, Palawan.

I am dreaming of going here...now na!

charan! eto na ako sa place na ito...nakatanaw sa bintana...hmmmmmm..ang sarap ng hangin...nakakabuti ng pakiramdam, ang mga alon..banayad...at ang mga huni ng ibon...ang sarap sa ear ha! hehehe...ang sarap mag sun bathing sa bench..ay ang waiter! "Waiter, please bring me a glass of orange juice! Thanks!" Aba at sino yung mga taong paparating dito..I thought I reserved this place for myself...aba at may intruders!

Toink! Ayan..nanaginip na naman ako...eto na pala ang mga pasaway sa masaya kong pagninilay..ang tambak kong trabaho!!!

Eniweys, ang sarap bumalik sa kawalan..tanging magandang tanawin gaya nito lang...kahit papaano, nailalayo niya ako sa magulong mundo ng showbiz...nyek! hehehe..sabagay..di na nalalayo ang mundong kinagagalawan ko sa konsepto ng showbiz, di mo na kasi alam ang totoo sa hindi..kaya eto sumasabay ang aking puso sa pagalon ng dagat..

Masaya akong babalik sa lugar na ito para muling makahinga...

Sarap Lord!

Back to work na po tayo!!

Have a nice Baclaran day to everyone...Do not forget to pray! Mwah!

Tatlong taon nAPO kami!!!!

hep! hep! hep!

makakalimutan ba naman natin ang mahalagang araw na ito namin ni popoy...hehehe...
op kors not!
siyempre, tatlong taon na kami na puno ng kalokohan, kasiyahan, kakulitan, kaartehan, tampuhan, galaan at pagmamahalan..hay..naks naman!
di ko man lang namalayan ang paglipas ng 3 taon..biro mo...ang bilis! siguro nga dahil nageenjoy kami sa isa't isa..hahaha..napapaligaya namin ang bawat isa... =P
poy, eto lang ang masasabi ko sa iyo, eto ka! ((((( ^_^)))))) hehehe..salamat sa yakap mo..sa lahat ng oras, sa suporta, inspirasyon at pagmamahal! dami pa tayong plano at pangarap..sana ay maging maganda ang lahat sa atin sa future lalo na dis year...hehehe...sana malapit na...
gusto ko ng bahay...
gusto ko ng lupa...
gusto ko ng kotse...
gusto ko ng magagandang damit...
gusto ko makapunta sa iba't ibang lugar...
gusto ko ng masayang pamilya...

gusto ko sa lahat ng ito kasama kita..hmmmmm..
salamat sa lahat..
"there is a special comfort between two matching souls..."
Happy 3rd Anniversary!!!

ang nakaraan...

yup, the year 2006 was just another part of our past, that we may or may not want to reminisce, for me it the roller coaster ride!!!

I felt the happiest and saddest part of my life, in this year we lose our dearest nanay, nahihirapan man kami na tanggapin yon, wala kaming magagawa kundi maging masaya para sa kanya. I know she is happy now. Nasaan man siya, magkita sana kami sa dulo. sa tuwing may post ako na ganito, naiiyak ako. kasi siyempre super nakakamiss ang nanay...

hay...


kaya ayan, inuna ko na siya para sa mga susunod kong topics eh masaya na..ano nga ba ang masasayang nangyari this year, actually, the whole year yata akong nagaaral..starting january til october..

hahaha..nga pala naisip ko na!!! nakapunta kami ni popoy sa mudspring sa makiling..something to boast about kasi it's FIRST TIME!!! Yay! Kapagod ang maglakad..pero sa lahat ng paghihirap, ang pinakamasarap ay ang matapos mo with pride! naks! kaya ganon din ang ginawa ko for my quest for the license..eventually, nakuha ko na din!!! with the help of the people around me..kilala na nila ang sarili nila (hehehe...dpat naman!)

naging masaya ang taon na ito, probably because I have the most wonderful people that God has planned to be with me..

It may be a tough life ahead..full of responsibilities, but amidst it all, I can say to this..Go on! I am tougher!!!Huh??? Because I have a big God with me all the way!!!

Naks! It's true, my faith has never been broken ever since, sa lahat ng problem, maliit man o malaki, siya ang kawentuhan ko, besides gary.. =)

Basta sumakay lang tayo sa biyahe ng buhay...walang mawawala..madadagdagan pa tayo ng memories!!!

Stay happy pips!

Happy 2007 to all!!!!

Season's Greetings!!!

about working...

After the long awaited moment to finally start my work, I officially started with General Electric Philippines as an eT&L auditor, but with a designation of Accountant, weird isn’t it? Haha..but when I calculated the time I have to stay home for being unemployed it is just less than 2 months..not bad to think that it is year end and most companies at this time hire beginning of the year.

Let me point out some of the positive points that I am thankful and happy about me starting to work this year end…

First, I will be able to have the New Year with a little money in my pocket… not just my hand.

Second, I don’t have to worry about making the payment for the debts we had incurred during the year.

Third, I will be able to buy the necessary things needed for my other “vices” hahaha…

Fourth, madami na din akong mga plano and goals to set for the coming year kasi I do have to plan to save some money…naks! Todo na ito!

Fifth, di na din mangungulit ang daddy na until now e isa akong palamunin. Hehehe..peace dad!

Lastly, I will be able to finance something for my popoy…tagal pa naman un pero at least..may money na ako..yehey!

What I wish is that I could hold on to the job…wish ko lang talaga!

Be able to get along with people well, especially this group…

and be able to acquire new knowledge for my future plan. Hahaha…

Ending the year with a BANG!!!

Peace and Love to all this yuletide season!

Im Proud!

Di ko man nasasabi ito ng tahasan sa iyo Dy, pero, you really made me proud to be your daughter. After all the hardships you'd been through..nakita ko ang pagbabago sa iyo. Alam mo kung ano ang pinagdaanan namin hirap sa pagdidisiplina mo. Pero Im thankful with that. Other pipol might think you of somebody who wants only material things..but i know you are beyond that..you are our precious gem.

Habang buhay kong dadalhin ito sa puso ko. Tunay ka ngang haligi ng tahanan.

I am so proud to be your daughter. I know Nanay is happy with the way you are taking good care of your family..even without her.. =(

Thank you for the love and the many lessons you have shared with us.

I love you.

Saan man patungo..

di ko inakalang magkakaganito..

wala naman nagsabi na malabo ang mundo..

di na rin inaasahang maintindihan...

alam naman nilang walang pakialam..

kung saan man patungo..

at kung kailan kami hihinto..

kung bukas man o bukas pa..

tuluyan ng tapusin ang kanta..

Sa aking paghahanap

Eto na naman ako at muling maglalahad ng aking feeling sa buhay..
khapon, feeling ko ay super depressed ako..kasi ba naman 1 buwan na ang nakakalipas pero until now wala pa rin akong mahanap na magandang work..hay..kainis naman!

Di naman kasi ako naghahanap ng mataas ng sweldo, ung tama lang na makakapagdevelop ba sa career na GUSTO KO na tahakin. Lito akong lumabas sa bahay..follow up sa mga company na pinasahan ko ng aking resume. Ilang ulit na akong nagpalit ng resume ha..baka kasi may mali..pero eto ako at di pa rin makahanap ng tamang trabaho.

Nakakapagod dahil sa bawat alis mo naman pera ang nawawala. Wala naman ako nun. Kakahiya na kay popoy kung pati ba naman pamasahe ay humiram pa ako sa kanya..

Tas, naisip ko..eto na naman ako..inilalapit NIYA ulit ako..mukhang lumayo nga ako ng unti ha..hay..si Lord talaga..aun at napalakas ang loob ko..Tas, naalala ko ung libro kong ito ...

Biro mo un..binili ko siya last June 2005, di ko naman nabasa..aun at ginawan ni Lord ng way na mabasa ko na siya..kaya eto ako ngayon. Di masyadong nagmamadali sa buhay-buhay. Kasi gusto kong tapusin ito. at tatapusin ko siya.

La lang. Nasabi ko lang. It may seem very usual. Ung kapag may problema ka, lapit ka lang sa Kanya..nasa kanya kasi ang kasagutan..

Un po. Happy REading Nina =)!!!

Ang Paghihintay

Eto ang mga kaganapan sa nakalipas na CPA Oathtaking..

Si daddy habang nagpapahinga...wehehe..bilis mapagod sa paglalaro ng badminton...

Si Sir Tom..

Atty. D

Ang aking pangalawang ama..Sir Valix

Kakambal ko...

wehehehe..ang pormal na paraan ng paglalaro ng badminton..

Kulitan sa Manila Bay

Ang taray!!!

Hehehe..yan lang po..tamad akong magkwento eh..Mwah!!!

Nakatanaw

Hmmm..parang ganito ako ngayon, nakatingin sa kawalan..nangangarap..nagiisip kung ano ang dapat gawin...

Kahapon, oathtaking namin..ang tagal kong hinintay na mapasama sa okasyon iyon. Aun nga at nagkaroon na din ng katuparan ang lahat..isa na akong ganap na CPA.

Pero hanggang ngayon, nagtatanong pa rin ang puso ko..saan nga ba ako pupunta? Paano ko mapupuntahan iyon? Nahihirapan ako. Sa panibagong simula ng yugto ng buhay ko. Marami kasing dapat tapusin at simulang muli. Bagay na lalong nagpapabigat sa puso ko.

Sa ngayon, nanatili pa rin akong nakatanaw...

Iniisip ang buhay ko dun...sa ibang ibayo...

Salamat at nariyan kayo lagi sa tabi ko..Salamat sa KANYA! Dahil kahit anong tama ng utak ko nanatili kayong nandiyan para samahan akong tingnan ang kawalan.

Pero kaya ko ang lahat ng ito dahil nandiyan kayo...

ang drama ko no? minsan lang ito...

starting again..

this the new me..after passing the board exam..im back to level 1..starting out my new career as CPA..I've dreamed of this and hopefully with Help of God. Time is of the essence. I need to look for the perfect job..something I need to devote my time and knowledge and get paid high!!!!! haha..enuf of daydreaming...

Sa ngayon kasi ang hirap dahil need ko na namang harapin ang mga taong sana ay di ko na lang nakatagpo..naming this doctor ng nanay ko na sinisingil kami..actually ako sa balance namin sa gamot..i had asked her of time kasi im still reviewing then..basta masakit kasi na ganon pa ang madadatnan mo..pero mababayaran din namin yun..ko pala..basta..im confident!! God is with us!!!

Kahapon, bumalik kami ni popoy sa manila..sa polluted na manila..sa halos isang taon na pamamalagi dun..at sa kaharap ang libro eh..nakasanayan ko na din ang pulusyon..marami akong natutunan..maraming lugar na napuntahan..

madami akong natupad ngayon year like..i was able to join the procession of our lady of la naval de manila last october and nakapunta din kami ni popoy sa mall of asia (first timers!!!) with a wonderful moment while viewing the wonderful sunset at manila bay..i believe that is a sign of end of a chapter in my book of life..my review life and eventually the passing!! yey!!!

here is a souvenir portrait photo at tom's world, mall of asia..

i love God for giving me this guy..thankful talaga ako..sabi nga nila..Good girls deserve Good Karma!!! He is my BEST karma! I can go through the hardest challenge and problems with HIM by my side.

That's all! See yah agen!

C-werti P-ilit na A-ko!!!!

after the long wait..eto na ang pinakaiintay kong post of the year..the very good news i could share for this year is that the license i had been fighting for the longest time has arrived!!!

I am now a CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT!!!

Seems nothings change..but a lot do..i'll posting more of it next time...

All I can say is that God is good all the time!!!!

hay..the long wait and preparations is over..back to the reality of dealing my other personal problems!!! But I know that i am not just a CPA by law..but im a fighter by heart..it is GOD, him that i have..

Thank you sa lahat ng nagpray..

Daddy and Nanay, this may be too little to bring back the love and support i had received from you..Nay, Pede ko ng sabihin sa iyo..i have fulfilled your dream..

sa aking makukulit na kapatid..salamat!!!

sa aking mag kaibigan at kapatid kay Jesus!!!

at higit sa lahat sa taong tinatanaw kong napakalaking utang na loob ang maipagpatuloy at makuha na rin ang goal na ito..kay POPOY, may we stay together through thick and thin..iloveyou!!!

matinding pagkawala

i will be absent on cyber till october..i'll update on that month. =)

see you!

my angel up above..

hart3, originally uploaded by bakekang.

youwill always be my angel..

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel “not good enough”
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction, oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the Angels, fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room,
and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of the Angels, far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

i don't know how long i will be able to get through the lost but somehow i hope that you will always be there..no turning back..you are there..the only way we will meet is when my time here is finished then shall i be able to move on..hay..it is really hard to accept the fact that you will never be with us in any occasion or any gathering..even in my most awaited moment in life..we have so many plans..none will you be able to pursue..i just wanna thank you for leaving me with good and caring siblings that i could share this feeling of losing..the battle may not be over but your presence will always be with us..wherever we go..all of my dreams are for you..thank you for all the wonderful memories..your grandchildren will surely be grateful to heat your life story and i shall tell them how great you are as a mother..i love you so much..i still miss you..

real magic!!!

Coz every little thing he does is magic

Every thing he does just turns me on

Even though my life before was tragic

Now I know my love for him goes on

my weekend was a little dramatic..somehow because..i could not think of any solution or help on how i can lessen the pain that my mother is experiencing right now..she is undergoing another series of chemotherapy. more painful with her bloated tummy because her doctor said that her liver aint functioning that well. that a certain small stone is in her liver that blocks the food. u know how vital our liver to the body secretion of nutrients.

that is one thing which makes me worry more than i should. i kept my emotions steady once in a while, but everytime i think of it.

but one person did some magic!!! from thestart..this person brings something special to my life..

he definitely brought me magic..his unconditional love ever..he makes me smile like no one can..make me do crazy things..and helped me every single and little problem that put one of my feet on the grave..

he definitely is the MAGIC!!!

...and i love him...

so much....

FOUR FRIENDS

this is me once again..in state of confusion..bout what the year should be..it is half past this first month and i still..cannot make a decision whether i will stay with the company or not.i've been contemplating this since end of last year..i have done my first step of verbally talking to my supervisor of my plan in taking the board and eventually resigning from the company.what makes me more crazy is that i can feel that i am not yet prepared to go.. why???? maybe because of the pipol around the team especially these special pipol that i had beenfor a year now. i know that what i want is something useful when i grow old. i do know that this present work is not the job i want to have until i grow old. but the pipol..these arethe one whom i wanted to grow old working with..same generation..they have showed me true meaning of 'loving thy work' not just loving the salary. everyday has been enjoyable.no dull moment. maybe other teams are insecure of the bonding my team has. but change is constant in our life. i have to choose. i want my chosen career. parting has never been thateasy in any situation there is, especially when there is friendship. hay...

now that i made my decision clear. i will be trying my best for the big day this year. it is a risk. although i am known for being a risk taker..i am still in doubt with my decision.but have agreed to self that i need to direct my life if i really wanna go places..amanpulo, sagada, paris, italy, spain, the carriebean, boracay, bohol. i like travelling right.

this is the final decision. NINA WILL LEAVE ACCENTURE. mem'ries will never be taken and of course! TRUE FRIENDSHIP!!! this is the most important thing i got with my stay in the company. so i thank this four gorgeous ladies that i will surely miss when time comes that NINA will no longer go to UBP, ORTIGAS..to work!!!!

FE

this is the ever bubbly fe..i remember that i doubt her loyalty to the group when we were still beginning the training in image..hahaha..she's so friendly kasi..even theperson whom we are mad at..ganon pa din siya..pero i realized that this lady is so professional that i take her attitude as an inspiration to make me like her in that aspect.this is the person na ipagtanggol ka no matter what..captain fe, fefang..whatever you call her..she is still the person everybody loves!!!! so this i thank her

NICOLE

the crush ng bayan 1..hehehe..dami kasi may gusto sa kanya..nicole likes jokes na siya lang ang natatawa..hahaha..but seriously..this girl is the person that i am comfortableto be with..she's really nice to everyone and that makes her more lovable..dami ng nabihag nito, she is a friend that will try to understand you and will accept the person in you.she at times has been my confidant at times i cannot give reasons to myself to what is really happenin'..this is my good side. hehehe..she is my conscience. and i thank her for that.a lady with brains and beauty rolled in one. naks! thanks for the laughters girl!

MONINA

at first glance, monina is the type of person who seems to be very hard to get along with. her looks might scare you not because she's ugly..she is even one of those pipol gifted with best facial traits..but because she looks so mataray..and she really is..although this little girl..hehehe..may be that mataray..she is still sweet & thoughtful..di ba? binili panila (with regent - her better half) kami ng pasalubong when they go to baguio..o di ba? one of the reason while i am thankful that i had worked with accenture. it's true mon!!! thank you ha!

RACHELLE

my laughing trip partner..rach is the closest person i had in accenture..probably because we'd been together as cubicle mates since the transfer from the training room up to tne production floor..she is my kakwentuhan in all the kalokohan..akala mo silent lang siya pero when she speaks you'll roll over the floor with her hirits. i like this person because she is beautiful inside and out (just like me!!!)...hehehe..walang kokontra sa akin..birds of the same feather are the same birds..hehehe..she has been my best bud.although i don't say this often or say it never that she had enlightened me in many ways whenever i am tired of working in the company. this lady keeps me up all the time. we may sometime differ in point of view..and you know the real nina doesn't want to lose..she is the person who gave in every discussion. bad ko no? that is why i am thankful that i had this lady as my friend..naks!! drama na ito..thanks for everything rach!!!

testi ba ang dating ng post ko..i am slowly making some effort of letting some space..so when we part it may not hurt that much! but the hell..it may be hard to go..but the remaining time i will hace with these four girls will never be wasted..i plan to make the most out of it!!!

THANK GOD FOR ALL OF YOU!!!

Get My Loop!

M-O-T-I-V-A-T-I-O-N

im happy dahil kahit papano nakakapag adjust na ako sa napaka hectic na sked ko ngayon, i am a student by day and a processor by night. minsan naisip ko na wag na ituloy kaso ano nga naman ang mapapala ko if di ko siya continue aber??????

one, ang fulfilment ng long time dream ko..muling mauudlot!!!! at baka habang buhay na maudlot dahil di na ako bata no? next year taon ko..kaya dapat sulitin ang year na yon. malay natin talagang swerte ako next year ***wish***

two, ang gastos sayang, dahil di naman biro ang mag invest sa review, although walang katiyakan ang ROI (return of investment) naks!! accounting term yan! dapat magsipag ako dahil dugo at pawis ka na ang nakasasalalay dito.

three, i promised myself that wen time comes na babalik ako ng aking alma mater, e lisensiyado na ako..naku!!! pano if di ko siya itutuloy..eh di na ako dun makakabalik..hehehe..madami akong mga tao na dapat bigyan ng pasasalamat for giving me the chance to take the board..naks!! thanksgiving speech na ito.

four, nakahanda ang damit ko sa oathtaking..kaya definitely..super positive ako ngayon..wlang puwang sa pagdududa..andyan naman si BOSING, para tulungan ako, at kahit puyat ako, may pumapasok pa naman sa utak ko.

at last, handog ko ito kay madir dear..pano if di ko ituloy..eh di wala me special gift sa kanya..this is my lifetime gift for her.

o ayan, sa totoo lang para sa akin itong mga reasons na ito, so i will never ever give up to this last battle for the license.

pray for me ha..god bless!!! happy workweek!!!

stay with my struggles

it is a wonderful feeling to know that amidst your struggles dat im going through right now, i have my special someone, supporting me all the way to fulfill my dream. Dat he shares little sacrifices that shall give you more strength to go on. Even when, you will go for a thing unsure of the result, and knowing that it shall take more time away from the usual things you enjoy both to do. He willingly gives those as his share of commitment to pursuing that special thing.

i am, being pessimistic in nature, had never been this focused and feeling that im going the right track. this is a wonderful feeling. something i know that God wants me to feel and im cherishing every single moment of this blessing.

i thank Him for giving you to me, hope you stay by my side for the rest of my life and i promise to stay with for the rest of yours.

i still am smiling. reminiscing the mem'ries we had gone through, it is still long way, but my journey is as wild, exciting and adventurous as climbing the mountain. thank you for holding my hand.

i love you so much.

Busy????

ano na nga ba ang nangyayari sa akin?

last week my tito died of liver cancer, and nung sunday ang burial niya...i found out how my tito, barangay councilor of pulong sta.cruz had touched so many lives in that barangay, ang daming umiiyak at nanghihinayang, something i know is not ordinary esp when it comes to public service. i know my tito served well and he'd been one of the best public official i know..compare to my other tito's & tita's, i found him sincere of his job of helping other people face their problems, i may not be that close to him but i know that somehow he felt my share of concern during the time where he is struggling from his disease. i myself felt the sincerity in his heart up to his last day on earth. for this, i salute my tito,

Gonzalo B. Sulit Sr.

for being a good man, husband, father not just to his children but to his nephews and nieces & to other kabataan in the barangay, i know that no one on earth can replace the good deeds you had shared to other pipol. i am proud of you. proud of being a sulit. may you find the peace in His loving care. see you later...

after that balik ulit tayo sa kikay matters,

what i like the best about the past weeks....

1. i am already enrolled for the may 2006 cpa board review at cpar, and i am somehow relax at this moment for it.

2. last week was super enjoyable, i'd been with popoy the whole night long (sunday night) ...with the permission of my dad, he slept over our house, of course, di kami magkatabi, but the fact that dad is trusting my popoy, is a wonderful feeling.

3. popoy and i talked about so many things, from the silliest matters to super 2x serious matters, but i enjoyed every piece of what we had aggreed about.

4. i am happy ate, because my kafatids who are not taking the lead of their carreer path, Jill, who is on my left side at the profile photo is now starting her training for an ojt sponsored by her school at japan, she is now learning nihonggo, and i myself too am learning some words, Joy, on my right side will be starting her review for the OT board exam on january 2006. and being the proud ate, i am asking for your prayers for the success of my little sisters.

5. i am now starting to plan my transfer to another boarding house near my review school, for safety & convenient purposes. hope i will be able to polish things before the start of the classes.

6. nanay gave me a necklace with a heart pendant, i was so overwhelmed with things going on with her, and i plan to give her a little suprise for this christmas, including my dad of course (he is a jealous father) hahaha...i am thankful for those who continously praying for my mom's recovery.

7. speaking of daddy, i am happy that he is not that strict anymore. just what i told you in my number #2.

8. i am thankful that i have now a happy heart. the feeling that everything is on the right track, i know, i doesn't happen ordinarily but i am croosing my finger, for me to be strong if in case another challenge/ problem will be on my way..and i know its on the way..hahaha..

9. i am thankful for these pips, gretch, nicole, fe, rach, earl & monina. thanks for the friendship. i know my stay in accenture (company) is really worthwhile.

that is all for now...bye! =)

gary in the pool

how can i not fall in love with this guy..so cute..hahaha...

..:: joy ride ::..

Ready to drive my life...

I don't know what is that makes me love you so
I only know I never wanna let you go
'Cause you started something, can't you see?
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me

It happens to be true
I only want to be with you

It doesn't matter where you go or what you do
I wanna spend each moment of the day with you
Look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this

It's crazy but it's true
I only want to be with you

You stopped and smiled at me, asked me if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms and I didn't stand a chance

Now listen honey, I just wanna be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you started something, can't you see
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me

No matter what you do
I only want to be with you
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you

engkantadia

masaya ako (lagi naman eh..) and may libre pa us na tiket until end of year...yipee!!!! to follow na lang ang mga naggagandahang pics...

Feels Like Home

There's something in your eyes

Makes me want to lose myself (2x)
In your arms
There's something in your voice

Makes my heart beat fast

Hope this feeling lastsThe rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been

And they'll know I've been so alone

And if you knew how I wanted someone to call my love

And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me (2x)

It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me (2x)

It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks
Down the long dark street

And a siren wails In the night

But I'm all right

Cuz I have you here with me

And I can almost see

Through the dark there is light
Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me

And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you were making me

I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me

It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from

It feels like home to me (2x)

It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong (2x)


I may not that vocal to you on how much I appreciate just being in your presence. The way you make me laugh at times when I almost give up to burdens I did not know I can carry, until you showed me I could, you lift me up to the highest. The way we discuss topics between us, those not that much important & to those which have least significance to life but either way you give them fruitful meaning to me.

I am thankful for your unconscious effort of offering me the BEST friendship, one that I shall treasure for the rest of my life and till my life after death.

This is my vow to you, as my friend, my lover, my big brother, my laugh trip partner, my cute huggable teddy bear, my flower in wild forest, my hiking/mountain climbing companion, my koino-matter discussion buddy, my confidant, my cheerleader, my best friend, my life & my everything

...Today, we take the biggest step of all & yet a step that
comes so easily it hardly seems to need a thought to guide it.
My natural place, Gary, is by your side, Let me remain there for all my days...

I love you.

Baso Ko

Ang baso ko madaling mapuno, maliit lang kasi ito.

pero hanggang kayang kong inumin ang laman ng baso,

ginagawa ko..may pagkakataon na dapat kong hayaan siyang umapaw at

kung ikaw ang dahilan ng pag apaw nito, huwag kang

mag-alala kaya kong patunayan sa iyo ang pag apaw ng baso ko.

Kaya sa susunod, maging alisto sa paglagay ng laman sa baso ko,

sa susunod kasi ibubuhos ko lahat sa iyo.

Umapaw ang baso ko. Minsan lang ito. Sana di na maulit.

missing you..

friendships

friendships, originally uploaded by bakekang.

minsan lang akong magsenti, i just wanna thank you for giving me one of the best friendships i had. di lang talaga ako marunong magsabi, but deep in my heart, no matter what happen i will feel blessed always just thinking of these women i consider my friends..and the moment we had, the never ending wentuhan from the office-related topics, to anything goes, yung tambay sa gale, usap ng walang humpay, i'll cherish those for the rest of my life. And if time na may little ones na ako, sana makatagpo din sila ng mga friends na tulad ninyo.

Thank you for being with me inspite of me being mataray slash masungit...listening to my opinions & my never ending observations, you just don't know how much you had contributed me in my growth as a TRUE person..with the truest friends..and that all of you, Nicole, Fe, Monina, Marie, Gie & Rachelle. Love you ALL!

H-A-P-P-I-N-E-S-S

Sunday is OUR day!!!!

it's just an ordinary sunday, popoy, visited me at haus, nood lang us ng sine sa hbo, hehe (kuri kami ngaun).
The oder wik kasi punta kami ng tagaytay ng walang kaabog abog. diretso ng palace tas nagwentuhan ng kung ano-ano sa tuktok, medyo maulan dun kaya madaming fog, pinaglaruan ang mga fog, super lamig!!!!buti na lang at may instant jaket si bakekang (kilig!!!) hehe..dami nga kaming nakitang lovers..at siyempre as usual, aun ako at tawa ng tawa sa kanila, la lang, duon ko na lang dinadala ang mga pagkabigla ko sa mga ganung bagay (charing!!!), punta din kami sa nanay ni jojo (kasama ni Lord), bago kami umalis, ask niya si popoy na dapat kasama siya sa long table..at siyempre ako, isang patay malisya..tinanong kung ano un?!?! sabi siyempre ni popoy, wedding un...NATEN?!?! huwat? ikakasal na kami???? nyek!!!! nope..di pa..matagal pa..but im definitely happy with the things happening with me & my goody popoy..im super in-love with this person. and hearing other pipol na nangangarap na sana kami na din in the end, e parang inililipad ako sa ulap na nakita ko sa tagaytay. so bak to last sunday..walang masyadong nangyari pero masaya, parang im looking forward sa pagpunta niya sa haus, although every wik naman un..kasi nga last sunday, ipinagluto ko siya ng nilagang baboy..masarap pa din iyon kay popoy kahit hindi, natutuwa kasi akong nikakain niya ang luto ko..parang may silbi talaga ako sa akanya..basta, lagi akong nitutukso ni dady, if i know e, selos lang iyon kay popoy..hahaha..

in the apternun, nagsimba kami, may lumapit na bata sa church, pero ang ugali ko kasi, di ako nagbibigay hindi dahil sa ayokong i-tolerate ang mga batang ganun, naiinis ako sa magulang nila..basta, mega interview ako hanggang sa magsawa na si toto, hehe, kasabay namin umuwi si jil at dumaan kami ng mercury, (bili ng ice cream)hay..wat a day!! till next sunday ulit!!!

Miss La Naval

kahapon nagpunta ako sa letran, la naval kasi...namimiss ko si miss la naval (tawag ni gary). she had been a great influence to us, me and my second family, koinonia de letran. masaya akong nakita siya ulit. kaso may pangit akong feeling nun. hindi na kasi sa amin ang pag organize ng pagdating niya sa letran. ever since na naging koino ako...naging devotion ko na (as well, as my kapatids in koino) ang maglaan ng time to prepare for her coming. kaso by some manipulative & insecure person whose trying so hard to put my beloved koinonia down, kinuha niya ang event na ito, noong prioress ako, di ako pumayag na sila ang magplano ng buong event, it is our activity & our own share of sacrifice na ginagawa ng member ever since..

di ko siya pinansin (the person na siyang dahilan kung bakit nawala sa amin si ms. la naval). naiinis ako sa kanya. alam ko magagalit sa akin si ms. la naval, but i can't make any move to acknowledge 'his' presence. galit pa din ako sa kanya, at sa patuloy na ginagawa niya sa pamilyang naiwan at tanging binabalikan ko sa letran. i know its not good. but i'm praying, ms. la naval is precious to me & gary (a.k.a. popoy), she (i guess) brought 'us' together. hay...

soon, babalik siya ulit sa amin...hintayin ko na lang ulit ang pagbalik mo sa koinonia, we really miss you ms. la naval..& the wonderful mem'ries i had wen ur at letran...hmmmmm...

Wishing Again

napag-isip isip ko sa tinagal tagal ko sa pag-aayos ng blog ko...wala na akong naikwento sa buhay ko...hehehe...gusto ko kasi na maging maayos siya at kuntento na ako sa template ko...parang bahay...ito angaking munting tahanan...kung saan pede kang mag-isip at magsalita...gawin mo ang gusto mo...i wanna thank the idle time para magawa ko ang munting tahanan na ito...

this is a new start...gazing once again in the deepness of the dark sky...waiting for the falling star...making a wish...and having them come true...

have a hapi journey with me...
