Tas, at the end of the rope, i saw this young man, makisig ang tikas at naka alalay sa akin ang kanyang mga kamay..naks!!! may Savior..hmmmmm..hehehe..si popoy pala iyon. After that rope challenge,may parang wall climbing na ang tuntungan ay pako..o di ba..too weird..hehehe..wala na dun si popoy..lungkot ako..huhuhu..Tas nun tapos na ang challenge and then, punta ako sa may kainan, parang canteen, ewan ko ba medyo civilized iyong place..nasa tuktok nga po pala iyon pinuntahan namin..pano ako nakapunta..di ko din alam..panaginip nga eh..hehehe..Nakita ko sina waych at fefang sacanteen tas nun nag order na kami ng food..tas nun tapos na..nagising na ako..alas tres na kasi eh,hehehe..

moments in calatagan

Ang natatala sa aking kapalaran sa araw na ito...sa salitang ingles..

...Time to cuddle up! Whether that means with a sweetheart, Fido or getting a bunch of friends over to your house for some quality time, it's a day filled with love and affection from your nearest and dearest. It's also a prime moment to reach out and touch someone. For example, is there someone from your past you haven't talked to in a while? Bet they're thinking about you right now. Why not give them a call and see? ..

Naging masaya ang araw na ito...WE have a lot of fun together..may team building ang koino and i really tot na di na matutuloy ito..and in some aspect..gumana na naman ang pagiging 'madam nina' ko..may mga taong nagsabi na sasama..pero ayun..sila ang mga taong bagay sa maestro nina Da Binsi ay Huwan Luna..mga drawing..eniwey..high way..ang sabi nga nila. the show must go on..isa itong team building..alam ko na kahit konti lang ang sumama..for sure may next pa ito dahil naging masaya ang laha..thanks to the ever supportive pipol hu never fail to be there..hehehe..kami iyon...

Sino-sino ba kami...si nina, gary, czarj, kc, mean, jm, mulan, jerwin, jelai, edward, dessa, bebe, khae, minet at mavic...hehe..ang tambalang bago sa pamilya..at syempre ang cute na cute na si abbie..

naging relaxing ang araw..di man totally koinonians ang bumuo ng outing na ito..may nabuo pa din bonding..ang i did cherish the mem'ries we had here..

Super saya kasi sobrang nag-enjoy ako and gary sa dagat..the thing we weren't able to do in puerto kasi malalim dun ang beach..sa calatagan..nakakatuwa ang mga alon..gary and i playfully go through the waves of this humble place..nothing is different..simple at masaya..some realizations ang naisip ni bakekang..things that makes her much stronger..na harapin ang alon ng buhay..hay...

Its relaxing..and we were able to unwind..more time with each other..ready for the battle together..thank you popoy..for the never ending support and understanding..i know we are still lookings at our star..happily....hmmmmm

Hanging On...

Don't Quit Poem
by anonymous

When things go wrong,
as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest! if you must; but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow;
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit;
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Ang tulang ito ay iniaalay ko sa mga taga lupang gusto ng umalis ng engkantansiya.

EKSES:

Sabi ni crissel, nag ingles na ako nung last entry..hehehe..siguro dahil galit ako ng oras na un..ngayon dapat masaya ako..pinangako ko sa sarili kong maging happy mode si bakekang ngayon..kaso di hinayaang ng pagkakataon..muliÕt muli na naman may nagbago sa napakagandang mood koÉhayÉlife might be unfair..kung di ka nga naman lalaban..hahayaan ko na lamang maging ganito ang sitwasyon ko..wala akong problema sa work..i mean sa ginagawa ko..ang nakakastress ung mga taga lupang naglipana dito sa engkantansya..magulo din pala..sabagay kahit ang inang reyna..ni hindi kami matanong kung ano ang nararamandam naming..parang isang pipit na pilit pinupukol..i promised myself that IÕll be on the silent mode if ever na mapunta ulit ako sa ganoong sitwasyon..but I cant help myself but to react..lalo pa at lumaki ako na nakikibaka sa mga bagay na dapat ay pantay at patas.. sa ngayon..may plano na ako..depende ito sa magiging takbo ng susunod na lingo..basta..pilitin kong tapusin ang pwomis k kay bakekang na tatapusin ko ang kontrata ko..hehe..go nina!!!

Kaya ko ito..iÕm not alone..go to continous battle for fairness and just treatment of colleagues...pare-pareho tayo ng lupang nilalakaran..wag kang aangat..baka kasi bumagsak ka..lagapak!!!! Hinding-hindi ako ang taong sasalo saÕyo..
So, pano..hindi naging maganda ang takbo ng nakaraang araw..ngunit tuloy pa rin ako..tuloy pa rin tayo..

Happy_pa_rin_si_NinalynÉ..Monthsary naming kaya..

Thanks Popoy koÉYou are such a great blessing!!!! Ésalamat sa tenga mong nakikinig sa makulit kong bibig na walang tigil sa pagsasalitaÉhehe..Loving you more each day!!!

Against all the odds...

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me

Black as the Pit from pole to pole

I thank whatever gods maybe

For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the horror of the shade

And yet the menace of the years

Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate

How charged with punishment the scroll

I am the Master of my fate

I am the Captain of my soul.

*** William Earnest Henley***

As i cud remember, this poem was introduced by my english teacher back in high school, at that time i was a stranger. For the reason that i am new to the school that i've never dreamed of studying..but i have no choice but to be a good daughter..and it turned out to be especially during my first days there..as a one hell of a batch!!! (as a negative thing.. ***sigh***) I promised to myself that i will never let anyone step in my dignity..the RESPECT i have for myself and for others...but during those times..and also to my current situation..once again this wud test the thing i hate the most..my patience to other pipol..as long as i know wat is right..i will never agree to the injustice and unfairness that is going around with the environment that i am with right now...

i want sincerity...

and truth...

and peace of mind...

Thank you Lord for the patience i have now..i know this is on challenge to mold my maturity..i hope others will see..i'm tired of battling for unfair things that is happening around my world..and only God knows it..hope I could talk to you once again...hmmmm

nina is not feeling good today... : (

Down Time...

Hmmmm..down ang system ngayon..marami sa amin ang hindi productive..e2 naman ako to be able to utilize my time well, gagawa ng entry for my blog..hehehe..medyo nakakabagot ang ganitong buhay..tulad ng sabi ni yano..parang walang kapararakan ang nangyayari ngayon..hindi ko pa din alam kung dapat pa bang magpatuloy sa landas na aking binabagtas ngayon..hindi ito ang mundong pinangarap kong galawan ngunit masaya ako..paulit-ulit ko itong sasabihin..dahil sa mga taong nagbibigay ng rason upang manatili sa kahariang pinangarap matunton ng ibang mga taga lupa..hahaha..eto ang engkantasya. Pero hindi sa lahat ng panahon, masaya dito sa engkantansya..may libreng inumin..unlimited ba ga? Malamig din dito..pero di pare-pareho ang klima..lalo na kung sabado dahil sa wala ang mga nakakataas daw..ung mga taga lupang may kakayahang ipaglaban ang engkantansya sa mga kalaban niya..kami naman ang mga taga lupang bagong salta sa kahariang ito..maraming di alam sa mga pamantayang di naming kinalakhan..at pilit na ipinapaunawa sa amin ang kulturang namamayani ..hehehe..tama na ang drama..

Balik na tayo sa realidad..toink!!!!

Sa Galera...

popoy sa galera kasama si bakekang.

Sa haba ng aming pagiintay..nakatungtong na ang aking mga paa sa kaharian ng galera..papalaot kami sa karagatan, unang araw ng mayo..at sa araw na aming hinihintay kasama ang aking prinsipe..binaybay ang mahabang daan upang makahanap ng kaligayahan..habang nag-iintay kami. aking nilibot ang mata sa paligid. madami ding mga tulad ko ang nais pumunta sa kaharian..nagnanais na makita ang hari at reyna ng galera(sino????). At ngayon na nangyari na ito..natupad na ang simpleng pangarap ng makapunta sa kaharian ng galera..maikli lang ang panahon na inilagi namin sa islang ito ngunit ang mga alaala ay mananatiling buhay sa isipang..naks!!!!

Sa unang pagtapak ko nakita ko ang mga kawal na siyang nagbabantay sa kaharian..ang mga tagapangalaga at nagpapanatili ng kaayusan ng kaharian..hay..sana muli akong makabalik na siyang nagbigay ng kaligayahan sa akin..hmmmm..i love galera..

the imager..

yup! yup! this is the first of the image training..balik training na naman kami..hehehe..sumusweldo para matuto..eventually naman e magtatrabaho kami for this knowledge. anyways..kahapon pinapaltan namin ang check namin. muntik na ngang hindi..at masayang ang pagpunta ko sa makati.. naggala kami sa glorietta..and everything..hehehe..kakapagod..hmmmmm...

Im hapi for my mom for i know that she is a very strong women..she's undergoing chemotherapy for her breast cancer at positive ang reaction niya sa ginagawang paggamot sa kanya..hopefully pagkatpos ng unos na ito..makakakita muli kami ng pagsilip ng haring araw..

...bumaba ako ng building pra bumili ng food for my aching stomach..dinala ko ang cp ko..binasa ang message mo..nakakita ako ng star..nag-iisa siya..salamat sa walang sawang pag intindi..hiniling ko sa kanya dalhin na niya ang sakit na nararamdaman ko papalayo sa akin..papunta sa malawak na kalangitan..salamat po.. im feeling better now..

15th monthsary..

Wow..1 year and 3 months na kami ni gary..hmmm..quite impressing compare to d first one..as we talked about our last fight na as in walang pansinan..ni hindi na nmin matandaan kelan iyon..maybe it is a continued effort to save the relationship which had been fought by him for so long and at the end he won my doubtful heart. He had proven his worth and still pile up a lot of reasons for me to continue loving this super humble person. Although we barely see each other especially ngayon na sa cavite na siya nagtatrabaho..but still the longing to see each other every weekend is a wonderful feeling..medyo kakabad trip minsan esp wen you nid some1 to talk to in times na sobrang down ka na..syempre always think positive. It helps me to become stronger and independent. Although at times prang windang na ang isip ko na feeling ko ako si darna at makakapunta agad sa tabi. Well, enough of that. Basta Im happyÉnope happier that slowly we were able to go through all the problems together..we may not be there physically but the thought that some1 is thinking and praying for your safety is a great satisfaction of this feeling called love.

May sakit ako ngayon but as Ive said nawawala iyon wen I think of my popoyÉand the rest my super duper mega over friends.

Thank God for this DayÉ

HAppy Monthsary Popoy!!!!
Loveyoupo...

ouch!

Everybody hurts

by: REM

When your day is long and the night,

the night is yours alone,

when you're sure you've had enough of this life,

well hang on.Don't let yourself go,

'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong.

Now it's time to sing along--

When your day is night alone,

hold onif you feel like letting go,

if you think you've had too much of this life,

well hang on. ‘cause everybody hurts.

Take comfort in your friends.Everybody hurts.

Don't throw your hand. Oh, no.

Don't throw your hand.

If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no,

you are not alone If you're on your own in this life,

the days and nights are long,

when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts-- sometimes--everybody cries.

everybody hurts, sometimes.everybody hurts,

sometimes.

So, hold on, hold on.

the person i always dreamed of loving...

popoy and me , in love na naman si bakekang.

"I guess you could say that in some ways, I've loved you. that doesn't sound right, I know, because I haven't always known you, but I've always known certain qualities that were important to me, and in my mind and heart, i've always carried an image, a fantasy, a wish, I guess, of a wonderful person I could love totally. You've given me what I've always wished for: fun & laughter, concern & understanding, a friend to depend on, a lover to cherish, a partner in everything i do..."


Thinking about you...
how you make me feel,
how i feel about you
and all that you are...
I realize that all my life,
I've always loved you in my dreams.
Now that you've come out of my dreams
and into my life,
I can tell you
that I've always loved you...
and that I always will.
