Yabang! :)

November 22, 2010 @ Manila Shangri-La Hotel. The "Accenture BPO A-List Awards" night was held. I was fortunate to be nominated and be one of the winners of one of the categories under this prestigious award given to employees of Accenture who showed excellence in their work and wants to be recognize by the company. There are 3 categories and I am an awardee of the "Delivery and Operational Excellence Award."

This would not be possible without these people who supported me eversince I started working.

footsteps

I am walking in the beach... alone. My footsteps were the only thing that accompanied me in this endless walk... footsteps that I can only see when I turn my head back despite that I am moving forward. I can also see the waves. It creates a very relaxing but very sad sound... a noise for me. A very dramatic moment that takes me back to the memories I once treasure in my life.

I hear the tweeting of birds while flying up in the sky leaving only shadows upon my face. I envy their freedom. I envy the way they swing their wings against the wind. I hope I have my own.

I was stuck looking at the different things surrounding me while walking alone in this beach, I didn't noticed that a lot of time had passed. I looked down and saw again my footsteps. A far I can see them slowly fading. 

I smiled. For some reason I did smile. It symbolizes something that I am waiting all my life... footsteps to fade.

Farther in front of me I see something blurry, I think I see a person, I think I see her. I smile...

... and I now see footsteps without turning my head back.

Hayskul Layp

Advertisement: Naisip ko lang magpost ng ganitong topic dahil sa sobrang haggard at toxic ngaun sa trabaho ko. Nakakapagod tlga at talaga namang naubos ang energy ko ngaun. Mag SL kaya ako bukas? joke. Kaya isip ako ng isip ng masasayang nangyari sa buhay ko. At naisip ko, ano bang parte ng buhay ko ang pinakapetiks at pinakasimple pero pinakamasaya din... hayskul layf.

Sana balik hayskul na lang ako. Napakasimple ng buhay. Mag-aaral ka lang, hingi baon, puro laro, puro crush! :). Ang saya ng buhay, walang kapressure-pressure 'di tulad ng pagtatrabaho. Lahat ng kalokohan ay una kong natutunan nung sumampa ako ng hayskul, second year hayskul to be specific. Nung first year hayskul kasi matino pa ko hanggang mapasama ako sa barkadang abnormal (pero proud ako sa barkada na 'to na hanggang ngaun ay makakasama pa rin kami).

Sa hayskul ako natutong mag cutting class. Rewarding din 'to eh lalo na pag first time mo ginawa.. todo kaba.. sa titser at sa parents. May mga over d bakod moments pa kami nun. O di kaya naman after lunch eh hindi na bumabalik sa skul.

Vow

How long do i have to wait to see you again?

Can’t believe that you were no longer the person i used to know back then

I never imagined you seeing me as “I cry” in front of you

And me always pretending to be strong and okay

Will my time still come? Time that i have been waiting for

The day that i can touch you and kiss you again

Embrace you like there is no tomorrow

Watch you grow old lying around my arms

“I love you” 

Three words that my heart been shouting and will be shouting forever.

I will love you for the rest of my life

This is my vow

A poem

I can still remember

How fate had brought us together

Back in the place where we both find each other

Clueless of how we begin to fall for each other

I can still remember

How fate had brought us apart

What happened to the love that once shared and impart

Now I have no choice but to accept our depart

The years that we've counted

And all the happiness in hearts have planted

Is now part of the memories

Someday, I know, deserves to be reminisce

Adore

Simple yet very strong word. On my years of living, I only hear this word a couple of times. But why do we seldom here this word? Instead, we often here and use words like Crush, Like or even Love. Isn't adore synonymous to these words? With this curiosity, I looked at the dictionary and search for the meaning of this word. The book says...

Adore: (1) To worship as a God (2) To regard with deep, often rupturous love (3) To like very much.

Borrowed Life

Life is short...

God gave us life

Life is borrowed only and needs to give back

Wherever you are

I know you are happier now

'Coz you are now in the arms of the angels...

in the arms of our creator

Thank you for sharing memories

Have a peace journey to heaven...

This post is dedicated to "Tatay" my bestfriend's father.

Condolence my friend.

Love and Truth

I’m thinking about you so much…time doesn’t stop for me
My empty heart still can’t find your feelings
I can never draw the same picture twice
But my emotions are just repeating over and over again

Love for her (still...)

Still You.

People have different perception of what happiness and success in life is.
You may heard the simplest explanation from a simple person or the most
complex reason to be happy to the most complicated person you have ever met.
But these reasons all root to the love that we wanted to feel and embrace
while we are still alive in this planet. People are born selfish and I agree
to that. We focus more on achieving our own goals and happiness in life rather
than thinking of "others." I once believe that I can give up mine and offer it to
someone else and thought that someday, I know, I would just pick-up my happiness
from the arms of someone whom I am yet to meet.

Hala at ako'y umuwi na namang tipsy. Pero wag ka mag-alala ang post na ito ay hindi tungkol sa paglalasing ko. :))

Nasa opis pa ko ng may magtext sakin at nagyayaya na uminom.. Syempre friday mode na naman at weekend na, sabi ko "ok, sunod na lang ako kasi shift ko pa.." Fast forward ng konti...3am after shift, derecho ako dun sa paborito naming tambayan... mga 5-minute walk lang naman kaya hindi hassle. Inabutan ko dun ang sandamakmak na opismates ko.. Hi jan, Hello dun.. papatagayin ka pa.. "sabi ko teka lang, chill lang tayo" Hinahanap ko ung table ng frend kong nagyaya sakin.. ayun at anjan lang pala sila.

La la la la la

Ano ba ibig sabihin ng "lalalala"? Buti na lang at anjan si pareng google at yahoo para tulungan ako.. type type and then hit "search" o "hanapin".. hmmm.. Wala. wala akong makitang meaning ng salitang lalala bukod sa isa ata itong kanta o more particulary children's rhyme.

Ano bang meron at naisipan kong hanapin ang meaning ng salitang ito? Actually may naalala lang ako na isang tao na madalas ko marinig o magsalita ng lalala.. Ginagamit daw nia 'to pag wala na ciang masabi.. o pambara lang din minsan sa kausap. Therefore, para lang siyang variable na bahala ka ng mag-substitute ng anumang appropriate words na gusto mo. Pero syempre kung bubuo ka ng isang usapan at ito ang irereply sayo, malamang sa hindi eh alam mo na din ibig nia sabihin.. kung gayun, partially i could say that its something you don't want to say.. could be a taboo word?.. palagay ko lang naman. 

Boss Isang bucket pa nga!

July 24, Sabado, ako ay lasing na naman.

Iba talaga ang epekto ng alak sa tao. Madalas nakakagawa tayo ng mga bagay na hindi na natin namamalayan. Sabi nila un daw ang tunay na kulay na ugali ng tao... kapag nakainom na. Kasi you tend to loose your defense and expose yourself to everyone. Anu-ano nga ba ang epekto ng alcohol sa ugali ng tao..

Meron jan madalas na mag-english (haha!). Nagiging instant cum laude!

Minsan nagwawala... tapos biglang iiyak (Baliw?)

Meron ding nagiging pasaway (alam mo na 'to)

At meron ding sobrang emotional na. (sober up!)

Tipsy. Madalas yan ang marinig natin sa mga kainuman natin.. "Ano tipsy na?" lalo na pag napapansin nilang nagiging maligalig ka na. Tsk tsk.. at malamang after ng inuman e topic of the town ka na din. Dahil sa mga pinaggagagawa mo..

Know-It-All Guy.. Duh!

At some point in your life you will really meet a person who always pretends that he knows everything. Ok ok, let me correct myself... He may know a lot of things but that doesn't count that you know everything.

A Smartass... or a Smart Ass****!

I am not saying that being smart is stupidity. Of course, every person is smart in his own way. We either excel in English and "5.0" in Math OR an ultimate mathematician Newton wannabe and a noob on "spokening dollar". But there are people who wants to be both good in math and proficient in english. And the truth is, there really are these people. Bow to you guys!^_^

Words says it all

Hoping. 

Thinking. Praying. 

Longing. Dreaming. Believing. 

Clinging. Counting. Cherishing. 

Craving. Wishing. 

Waiting....

S.T.O.P

There are moments that you'll feel that you need to stop doing the things that makes you happy... even if it means giving up your routines, happiness and inspirations. Simply because its wrong. If from the start you know its beyond rules, you are also aware that there are corresponding consequences or worst punishments. Consequences that you ignore and just follow what makes you satisfied... forgetting that its not supposed to be. That awareness makes me think that I should halt doing these things.

Its tough but trying is not a harm. What would be the best way to help me do this? divert my attention maybe. Or make myself more busy.. beside the fact that I am already busy at work. :)

Control. Its all about mind setting. But how far can the mind hold the eager feelings of the heart? Let us see...

kuryente!!

Hindi ko alam kung nagkamali na naman ba ang PAG-ASA sa projection kung san tatama ang bagyo. 

Isa lang naman ako sa mga apektadong residente ng Laguna na inabot ng signal #2 na bagyo.

Walang Kuryente.

Ang hirap matulog pramis. Ang init kasi.

Talagang maaapreciate mo ung silbi ng kuryente sa buhay mo pag nawala. Masasabi mo na lang, sana magkakuryente na, kahit doblehin pa ng meralco singil sa kuryente. Hehehe!

Pero since nakakapagblog na ko, sa wakas may kuryente na.

Salamat.

7 Habits of Highly Effective People

This was one of the training I have attended past months ago and wanted this to share through my blog. I find this very interesting and at the same time inspiring. The very first time I knew about this, I started thinking "Am I like this?" This is the 7 Habits by Stephen Covey. Here are the 7 things we need to know to become a better person, should I say.

• Habit 1 Be Proactive - this tackles how we react to certain things happening in our lives. Its better to be proactive rather than being reactive. In being proactive, you strike a balance between your influence and your norms and made decisions out of it. I would say that people that are proactive tends to lean more on critical thinking and analyzing his/her surroundings. This is the start and your foundation as a good person. 

Blogging: The Beginning

(bago magsimula, benh --> iwasan ang taglish please!!! Umpisahan na ang malalalim na tagalog)

^_^  ang kulit lang ng titulo ng aking susunod na lathala kasi hindi naman ito ung unang beses na magsusulat ako sa blog (naku ano ba tagalog nito? palagay na lang sa comment). Nagkaron lang ako ng ideya (tagalog yan a) na magsulat dahil kay pareng "Renz"... naisip ko lang pano nga ba ko nagsimula sa blogging (tagalog?). Alam ko lahat tayo dito ay may rason kung bakit, bukod sa ung iba ay gustong kumita (adsense). Hehehe!

Pano nga ba ko nagsimula?...

Still Crazy After All These Years

I am crazy, people are crazy sometimes. And being crazy at times is fun and enjoying but not to the point that you are hurting anyone. The craziness I am pertaining to are moments or events in your life that are worth sharing. Those were memories that you will no longer forget and still on your mind until the present. On the other side, there are also people's craziness that makes us sad in an instance or in a moment. These are memories in our lives that we cannot forget and continue hurting us when in fact we should be forgetting them and buried them once and for all. But something inside of you keeps reminiscing these, for the most times that you don't want to... That's why I called this "crazy."

I just keep wondering why there are events in my life that I can't help to forget... but i want to forget! Its so damn unfair. What's worst is its the same pain you will feel back the time you first felt it. Can this be a sign that I haven't move at all? A sign that I didn't grow. Why are there moments in my life that were so painful back then but laughing at it now? Can't be all sad memories be like that?

I want to move on... and I know life goes on. Time won't stop for me and I know I must go with the flow of life. I may not realize people and things surrounding me already change except me. I don't want to be on that, i mean who wants to?

They say the book of life has many pages and chapters. Once one chapter ended, you will not close the book, instead move to the next chapter and continue filling out the pages.

Easier said than done.

Not Feeling Well
