Standing Up After Falling Down I had my doubts about myself, whether I can pick up the pieces after I failed at something. Come to think of it, I really am not afraid of failure, I am more afraid to stand up after a failure. I am not used to failure that I am so unsure of what to do next. I am still feeling every step I take now, not knowing where to go or what to do, I am taking it one day at a time. My Nokia 6600 Its finally fixed! After a few months tinkering and problematic days of usage of this mobile phone, it's actually fixed. What a relief! I really missed this gadget, it may be outdated by I love my phone, I don't think I will replace this in the very near future. I'll be able to take picture again of random events, unaware people and beautiful sights. The resolution may not be good but the memory of the picture is much more important to me.... (",) |

Falling in love is such a wonderful experience. Being in love is so much better. Such an incomparable feeling. Such a happy feeling...That is, if you are not in a situation like mine...
After a few months of being in this relationship, I seem to be confused. Am I still in love with this man? Am I doing all this sacrifice /compromise for him because I am in love with him, or I am just trying to make it work just to prove to myself that I can make it work? I've become a cynic when it comes to relationships, I am surrounded with failed relationships that I really don't expect any relationship to last long.
I am really unhappy with my relationship with him. I just can't say it to his face. I am so afraid that by telling the truth, he'll be disappointed and unhappy. I still love him that way, I mean, I don't want him to feel unhappy. But right now, I really can't say that he makes me happy, even when we are together. All I want to do is cry. I think he knows why I am so unhappy, he just can't do anything about it.
What will make me happy? Ultimately happy? I do not know yet. But plain happines? All I know is that he can not give me what I NEED, and I know this NEED will make me happy.
If in case I am still inlove with him... I am sorry, I just want to fall out of love with him...

Sometimes something that seems simple is actually very complicated. So be careful.
In Detail
You're the kind of person who just can't settle for anything less than the whole shebang. That's the way you are on a daily basis, but the way you're feeling now ... well, let's just say that you won't even be able to convincingly fake being satisfied if you're not. And that will be true for just about any department of life. When it comes down to the issue of love, you really won't be up for pretending.

Growing Up
My friend's wife, Eliza, sent this to me.. I think I've read this once, but it never had an impact on me as it has now.
Dont grow old, grow up
Many people are afraid of growing old. I`m afraid of growing old and boring. Many people are afraid of growing old, alone. I`m afraid of growing old, insane. Many people are afraid of losing their looks. I`m afraid of losing my dreams. Many people are afraid of losing their youth. I`m afraid of losing my soul.When you`re 15, 35 seems ancient. When you`re 35, 15 seems juvenile. A turnaround in a split second - two decades zoom past and before you know it, it`s only a mile to the next millenium. Don`t fear age- it`s a right of personhood. Don`t fear it, it`s God`s greatest jest. Don`t grow old - you don`t have to.
Don`t date because you`re desperate. Don`t marry because you`re miserable. Don`t have kids because you think your genes are superior. Don`t separate because you think it`s fashionable. Don`t drink because you have troubles. Don`t gamble because you think winning is inevitable. Don`t philander because you think you`re irresistible. Most likely, you`re not. Don`t associate with people you can`t trust. Don`t cheat. Don`t lie. Don`t pretend. Don`t try to buy your way into the kingdom of God. Don`t dictate because you`re smarter. Don`t demand because you`re stronger. Don`t sleep around because you think you`re old enough and know better. Don`t hurt your kids because loving them is harder. Don`t sell your self, your family or your ideals.
Don`t stagnate. Don`t regress. Learn a new skill. Find a new friend. Start a new career. Don`t live in the past. Time can`t bring anything or anyone back. Don`t put your life on hold for possibly Mr. Right. Don`t throw you life away on absolutely Mr. Wrong because your biological clock is ticking and you can`t afford to have your eggs harvested before the new millenium.
There`s always a mad rush to something, somewhere but victory does not always belong to those who finish first. Sometimes, there is no race to be won only a price to be paid for some of life`s more hasty decisions. You can`t always go with the throng who would be wrong. Sometimes, you have to be alone to be enlightened.
To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless. To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy. To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy. Don`t bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons. To keep yourself warm, buy a jacket. In the long-run, it will be less complicated and less costly. To make yourself happy, pursue your passions and be the best of what you can be.
Simplify your life. Take away the clutter. Get rid of destructive elements - abusive friends, nasty habits and dangerous liaisons. Don`t abandon your responsibilities but don`t overdose on duty. Don`t live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your family. Be true to yourself. Don`t commit when you`re not ready. Don`t keep others waiting needlessly. Fall in love - it`s the greatest thing on earth. But take care and remember, after the fall must come the rise.
Go on that trip. Don`t postpone it. Say those words. Don`t let the moment pass. Do what you must even at society`s scorn. Write poetry. Love deeply. Walk barefoot. Hold hands. Dance with wild abandon. Cry at the movies. Take care of yourself. Don`t wait for someone to take care of you. You light up your life. You drive yourself to your destination. No one completes you - except you.
It is true that life doesn`t get easier with age. It only gets more challenging. Don`t be afraid. Don`t lose your capacity to love. Pursue your passions. Live your dreams. Don`t lose faith in God. Don`t grow old. Just grow up.

Madami na din tayong pinagdaanan, pinagtalunan, at pinagtawanan.. Nakakatuwa, di ka pa din nagsasawa... Sa tuwing tinatanong ko kung sawa ka na, lagi ang sagot mo, malaking problema yun, dahil di mangyayari yun.. Gustong gusto ko maniwala, pero iba ang sinasabi ng isip ko.. Kaya nga ang pagmamahal ay nararamdaman sa puso, di sa isip... Ah ewan, di ko alam, magulo talaga ako.. Inlove nga siguro ako sa'yo. Para akong tanga ano? Hehehe...
Ilang bukas pa kaya ang mabibilang ko na magkasama tayo.. Ilang beses ko pa maaamoy ang amoy mo sa damit at balat ko.. Ilang beses ko pa maririnig ang mahal kita.. Mukha ba akong nagdududa?
Pasensya ka na, ganito lang ako.. Nahihirapan lang ako tanggapin na mayroon palang tao na may ganitong pagmamahal para sa akin..
Waaahhh.. Drama... Corny pa...
Ayaw ko ng drama.. mas lalo ayaw ko ng corny.. pero inlove ako eh, kaya sorry na lang sa mga nakakabasa nito..
Mahal na mahal kita babylet.. Sana alam mo yan... (",)

Look at my sunburn!!!
First Destination: San Juan, Batangas.. (April 12 - 13, overnight!)
Went to this place on adventure.. Meaning to say, we do not know where it is.. HAHAHA!! It was a total blast! We played volleyball on Tuesday night and on Wednesday morning.. They played "in-between" the whole night.. And I didn't get a lot of sleep because of the reptile hanging on the roof of our room.. To think I just got back from a few days of fever...
Attendance: ME, Sir Glen, Allan, Asaf, Candido, Kresa, Louie, Patrick, Rommel and Tristan
Me and Rommel on the "white sands" of San Juan, Batangas.. It's rather "creamy white" .. hehe..
Second Destination: Subic, Zambales (April 14, wholeday)
Still burned from sunbathing in Batangas, the following day, I went with my Comm 2 students to Zambales, for another beach outing! They were also a blast! Food was great! All I did that day was EAT, SLEEP and SWIM!
Attendance: ME, Jonas, Ces, Greg, Chris, Carreon, Ella, Patron, Em, Felix (and their hunny bunnies, can't remember all their names.. sowi po..)
Third Destination: White Beach, Puerto Galera (April 16 - 17, overnight ulit!)
Rested for one day, to recover from 3 days of "beaching around".. On the night of April 15, I didn't sleep, because I had to leave at 3am to meet my friends in Alabang.. We arrived at the Batangas Port at around 6am, bought the tickets and were on our way to Galera at around 7am, arrived at around 8:00 am.. I didn't expect Galera to be that crowded but oh my God, it was way crowded.. Again, I went sunbathing, rode the banana - boat, more sunbathing, gimik night out (more like flirted around.. hehehe..) with Charles, Mina, Les and Wilson (Charles! Remember Stripe Boy!! He's really cute!!), Jetski the following morning, snorkling, more sunbathing and a whole lot of picture-taking.. hahaha!
This picture shows the ladies of Da Kolokoys.. Janine, Mina, Maruth and Iris (singit si papa jep, yung naka yellow)
Attendance: ME, Charles, Leslie, Mina, Janine and Wilson, Alvin and Myra, Jeff and ELiza and Baby Erin and Ate Myrna, Iris and Jerome, and the soon-to-be wed Jake and Shiela..
To sum it all up, I really enjoyed this one whole week.. I hope I could do this again.. hhhhmmmm...

To those who are wondering what happened to me..
My heartfelt thanks to those who were very much worried, I was sick, bedridden for two whole days. It was really embarrassing for me when I attended this function on Thursday; I slept half of the day because I was not really feeling very well. On Friday, I really could not get up, my sister and I were the only ones at home, and my sister was asleep all day, I definitely could not take care of myself. I was hungry but I could not eat, because I knew I was going to throw it up anyway. My fever was really high, I could not stand up. Fortunately, my brother came home that night, and he really wanted to take me to the hospital because I was twitching in pain, my fever was high and he could not talk to me. I didn't want to be taken to the hospital (I didn't want to spend money! Had I died that night I could only blame myself for my stinginess! Hahaha!) It turned out that I have the stomach flu. I still do. But it’s not anymore accompanied with the high fever, sore muscles, and a whole lot of vomiting.
But I am a little bit fine now, well not really, while all of this is happening to me physically, I am mentally tortured and hurt by some words that were said maybe not to me directly but to a “bridge”. I never thought that this person still does not know the real me. I have always been a “what – you – see – is – what – you – get” type of person, I really could not imagine this happened to me or this is happening to me. I just want to fall asleep, just like when I was sick, and wake up to a brand new life. It’s really tiring to prove my genuineness as a person, but what’s more tiring is the fact that I really can not please everybody. Maybe it’s time I take care of myself, do things that will make ME happy.
Haay.. I just wish I CAN DO JUST THAT.

Totally out of the blue.. I met somebody who makes my heart skip a beat everytime he smiles.. Totally friendly, but really haughty around me.. Totally simple, yet extravagant in ways one could not imagine..
I like him sooo much.. I don't know why.. He makes me sing silly love songs.. He makes me smile and sad at the same time without any reason.. He has these effects on me.. As the song says.. "Everything he does is magic".. I really don't know why..

Bakit may mga taong walang alam gawin kundi mambastos? Tao ka naman haharap sa kanila, pero gagaguhin ka pa din nila. Nakakabwisit lang dahil di naman ako nakikipagbiruan, seryoso naman ako, pero ganun pa din. Nagbihis na nga ako ng maayos, pero ganun pa din, nabastos pa din ako. Napakahirap ba gumalang? Lalo sa babae?

Congratulations Sis!!!
One of my bestfriends received an award yesterday for being reliable in delivering results.. Wow, I'm so proud of you Janine!! Buti ka pa, your efforts are being appreciated by your superiors.. hehehe..
I have been receiving a lot of help from my student community, my beloved MP-RH.. I have so many things to do and I am just very thankful that they are there to lend a helping hand.. I appreciate the help very much..
Kudos to my MP-RH family: Kresa, Kenneth, Amer, Candido, Louie, Emman, Tristan and Jonathan.. and to my ComLab family: Jane, Dianne, Don, Leonard, Vlad..
I have been down these past few days.. I don't know why.. Maybe the red flag is coming.. but I really am sad.. Sad because the news circulating around.. Career.. Love life.. Stuff like that.. I dunno.. Maybe I am just sensitive.. I really can't explain neither understand what's going on.. I really am nuts...
Try nitpicking the mind of a nutcase...

Minsan, gusto mo nang seryosohin ang buhay, pero minsan, ikaw naman ang di sineseryoso ng buhay..
Minsan, akala mo, nakahanap ka na ng taong para sa iyo, pero minsan, joke time lang pala..
Minsan, cute siya, pero minsan, hindi.. At hindi mo maipaliwanag kung bakit..
Minsan, masaya ka kapag kasama mo sha, pero minsan, malungkot, dahil alam mong hindi pwede..
Minsan, emote ka, pero minsan, nageemote emote-an ka lang..
Minsan, aayaw ka na, pero pag gising mo sa susunod na araw, alam mong sya pa din ang hinahanap hanap mo..
Kung ganito kadami ang minsan, sana maging madalas na lang ang minsan..
Yun lang.. Kaya nga minsan lang eh..

Just the thought of conversing with you, just the memory of the sound of your voice, the way your eyes light up when you laugh, the dimples near your lips that appear when you smile, all of these bring joy to my heart..
But what happened, should I not like you? Suddenly, I feel like you are pushing me away. Have I done something that really bothered you?
You are a wonderful person. I find you very adorable. And the more I get to know you, the more I discover things about you, the more I feel for you. The more I want to be there for you, to share your joys and pains, to support you.
Have you changed your mind about me? Should I stay away? I hope I’ll know sooner.. Even though it really pains me to stop these feelings for you, I will, if you ask me to.
I am sorry; I am beginning to like you. You may not believe it, but I really want to fall for you and love you.
I am having a hard time understanding you, what is going on in that little head of yours? Have I done something wrong? Or have you done something wrong?
Are you getting frustrated? Well, maybe I am too. Your frustration is rubbing off on me. But I am dealing with things head on. I must deal with things head on. Why can't you do the same thing too? Don't run away, please don't push me away. You might not be able to pull me back.
I am here. I am real.

Hindi mo ba alam
Damdamin ko'y pinagtakpan
Makasama ka'y suntok sa buwan
'Di mo nga alam
Mundo mo nga'y iyong tignan
Kung ganyan, walang pupuntahan
Hindi ko 'to gusto
Pero 'wag kang lalayo
Itanong mo sa akin
At tatanungin ko rin
Kung ika'y aamin
Lahat ay gagawin
'Di mo napapansin
Kailangan mo akong dinggin
'Di habang buhay ika'y aantayin
Ito'y aking hiling
At sana naman ay tanggapin
Ng puso ko'y 'di nabibitin

I am sick once again, feeling the fever sometimes, but what has been bothering me is my voice. My voice has been working against me for the past 2 weeks. I can't really speak continuous for 30 minutes because my voice starts to fade.. Well, my profession requires me to speak non - stop.. How am I going to do that?
Troubled Mind..
Too many decisions to make, just not sure if I have enough courage to stand up for my decisions... I have been receiving UNWANTED attention for quite sometime now from two persons whom I have ABSOLUTELY no interest for. I believe I've tried my best to show that I have no interest at all and can not offer anything more.. I really do not want to be bothered by them. What makes them think that I have the time of day for them when I am too busy with my own stuff... Why can't they leave me alone?
Troubled Heart..
I have confided with my PPG sistahs that I am falling for someone..(",) But again, I am hounded with dozens of hesitations.. Why can't I just dive in on dark waters?

Paasa?? Who me?? Confessions of a Female Commitment Phobe..
Paasa: someone who gives "false hopes"
A friend told me last Saturday that I was "paasa". Not really, I am basically friendly, and once I see that a person is worth my friendship, I really give my 100% friendship to that person, no malice. Most of the time, other people mistake this type of behavior as something like "I like the person" or if it happens that the person likes me, he might mistake it as hope for something more of a friendship.
Well, it's like this, I do not believe in courtship, I believe in getting to know the real person. It has been said many times that during the courtship phase, both the girl and the boy show only their good side. Well, for me, it doesn't work that way. I always want to see the real person, how he deals with conflicts, drama and other stuff that most people in a relationship deal with. So, during this "getting to know you" phase, the other person I am getting to know thinks that we are in a "relationship" or we might have a future together. It sucks, I know. Maybe I don't make it clear enough to show that I am trying to get to know him. Maybe I should exert more effort in stating it in "clear cut sentences" so as to avoid any confusion. I hate getting hurt and I also hate hurting other people.
It's true, I am afraid of commitment, terrified of settling with one person alone for the next few months, years or even a lifetime. Afraid to see his faults, and not be able to accept them. I know, I am not perfect. But that's just me.
I've been in a couple of relationships before, I did learn to accept them, faults and all, why did it fail? Because we were always in bad situations. I need not explain it here. HAHAHA! That's why I have been this way, too many bad relationships and combined with bad "role models" on love. Now, I am afraid to commit. Afraid to let go of my feelings, to allow any feeling that I know will lead to "falling in love". Totally terrified of getting hurt again and again. Afraid to risk... To be dependent on someone... Again, that's just me, and it really sucks! (",)

To the Almost Hopeless, Hopeless and Loveless..
This is an excerpt form Paulo Coelho's book: By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept..
"....But love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation. Love can consign us to hell or paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. If we reject it, we die of hunger, because we lack the courage to stretch out a hand and pluck the fruit from the branches of the tree of life. We have to take love where we find it, even if that mean hours, days, weeks of disappointment and sadness.
The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us.
And save us....."
Beautiful words of hope.. This has given me a brand new outlook on love..
