i've come undone

it's december 1.


<3


sobrang kilig. my mood, as compared to last year is soo much better. last year was heart-wrenching ang december 1. my Jesus, thank You.


peace is da bomb talaga.

and i resolve to be more accurate with my monitors. haha.


kilig kilig kilig. :)


sighs. i cannot get enuf.


So, give up the right
To control the waves that empty out your life
Above wild skies
Are the rays that break the shadows we design

Give it up, let go
These are things you were never meant to shoulder
Give it up, let go


jars of clay- mike, am hooked!


 


cee, bwas nalang ta magwa. loveyou.

live like you mean it








Current mood: groggy
Current music:long night- the corrs



sighs sometimes ppl take me too literally. it rained when i woke up tas i only had zesto mango + the eeeky strawberry tikoy for dinner cuz i was running late for work when i smsd that it wuz raining and am off to work, ang gisulti pa naman kay...cge dear halong. pa-sleep na ko. grr. why bakit nganu di mana sila kibaw muread between the lines sa ga-ulan tas ma-late nku? nganu ang gunyt man ang basahun tawun ui? ugtas.

 

si jethro kay nitext, magsge mana sya sulti damguhan ko niya, ana ko prayhan nya nalang that way he wouldn't dream na naa ko cuz nightmare yun. diba diba? hay gimingaw nko sa davao. :( naa pajud sya kanawung kaau dre na gi-add podko sa friendster. hahaha. ang chinese community is gravitating towards me lately, as opposed to nikita na puro foreign investors magpaduol niya.

 

i wonder wut they have been feeding him, di na btw sya mustorya namu. to think kami bya toh supposedly ang friends na purely platonic. hahay. looy pod kaau sya if muto-o sya mayong taw mga set of friends niya.

 

sighs, namiss ko na magbisaya. ge-atay!

 

di madayun sila shobe. paksit ia pay if mu-anhi sya. ako nalang tah toh niuli last weekend... :( puslan man wa naman pod mi gadungan sko imaginary friend/pet. ;(

 

oh today i had my bayo watch exchanged. the one i got last week is one of the factory freaks. haha. and law took us to robinson's pala..he is the LAW daw eh. ingnon ra nku nimu lawrence na di ka kibw mu-drive. paeta kang koreanoha ka. hehehe. tas cee and i had buncha lunch at shakey's, and we bought the glittery butterflies for our phones. haha. (i saw malyn and teej pod diay-how fair is that, she gave birth ug mas da-ut paxa naku?)

 

ang buhay ng Christiano ai masayang tunay. true true true! salamat Lord, ginakilig jud ko nimu. hehe. :)

 

ug wa na diay sya gapait, di man niya sala na ganahan ka niya... tas kakatingin mo ng friendster nya, maka sulti nalang ka pu-ol man diay, ug di man diay ana ka interesting ang whole set up nila as a person....mao ratoh. pero sigurado jud manlamig ka pag kita ka nila together kuyog sa company holiday party. sya naay arm candy, ikaw kay wa...or if ikaw ni show up with someone in tow...sya kay wa, tas nagsisi ka kay nganu man ko nikuyog paglain.haha. life.

 

ug nag-ask si nikki, so ibog naka sa new pet mo, ang tubag sa maayong taw kay- dili ah, nalingaw rko niya kay ginapakatawa ko niya, si d*v*y gyapon ako kaibugan mga 48 years.... bitaw bitaw.

ahay ngaa

wala nkon sya namaistro?


 


kinawat ra ang pix sa friendster. hush hush.


 

my summer girls




a simpleton like me would need....





Mood: loved


a cup of double espresso, some really good calls to listen to and would make work easier, someone else to cling to(ha!), and really really good conversation e.g....where the english language came from(who'd think it is german based and not latino?)

 

i started rebuilding, am really really trying extra hard to rebuild our relationship, Him and moi, i may sound OA, but, am trying extra bit harder that way...reading my devotional(w/c i've been rereading since forever) i learned that it's not too much to show kindness in any way...that we pass thru life just once, and it's not what you have done that might make a difference, but, what you have not done that you might endup regretting. so, it's about time that one would only utter kind words, be generous with praise, be winsome and tender when you speak or act....oh wells, natouched ko, kadyut lang, tas nafeel nko ang presence that i couldn't be this kind to everyone. mapilian ra. hahaha.

 

dinner with cee and vincent-chinese school bus slash puppy was fun. cee and i couldn't help but laugh when vinch is around. masaya xang kasama. sana marunong nalang xa magenglish tsaka marunong xang magsimba, haha. is that too much to ask? ayun, as useless sa Lord Byron's na naman kami and as useless babyback ribs na naman. but, i will never get sawa cuz it's the best ribs i've had so far. tas after drecho kami sa calea-east for coffee. and my allergen named tim caught up wit us. since my mood turned around and i realized he is kermit tha frog, or sounds like kermit the frog, i'm giving him a slack, and cee seemed happy when he is around. soo.... i am not gonna say anything na. and friend xa ni vinchent.

 

 

footah, ican cry chinchansoo tears na naman, my back is patched with salonpas plasters cuz of the back massage i had. am never returning to salon de rose, paanish maxado. sighs, i might endup with acquired diabetes before year-end. i've been hoarding sweets and am not eating anything healthy...anyweis, i bought nori, this way parang there's something healthy on my diet. haha!

 

Christmas wishlist- a fridge! anyone? sending in donation?

 

am just terribley elated that papa jake thought that fulghum is great. haha, am really thinking twice about having to let someone borrow that book, xempre, it's from jacel but, it's about time that i do a good turn and let ppl know that there are really good books to learn from and that Christianity can't be too overwhelming when one learns that a minister smokes cigar and drinks booze at times. hahaha.

 

and when it comes to talking about kids, a dad's eye would literally light up, parang nothin else in the world can get the kick outta their eyes sa? and parang they're the proudest ppl on earth when they'd talk about daughters.... teej is way cute when he talks about trea to me, parang nawawala inis ko sa kanya and parang we are old old friends...well, yeah, he is the most familiar thing i have here, kaya din i would hold on to him. tsaka masaya din naman xang kausap kung kami kami lang, and ilike listening to his paksit ang 2k stories when he would buy baby's formula or avent feeding bottles for his baby. hay, ako flounder ni grow up najud. when will i grow up? tas he will make a really good L2 am sure. sana sana.

the perfectly twisted weekend










Mood: loved
Music:real world-matchbox 20


nagtrisikel ako. creepy how the striker smiled. it's like my guards are up lately, after that horror flick last weekend i'm always weirded out by sooo many things, even the antique chairs splayed on the garahe are scaring my wits out....

 

i feel like i did not have enuf sleep during the weekend...when i logged out eds kidnapped me and that had cee and nikki thinking i ummm secretly went out on a date, i became dora the explorer, or i was too tired to wait for them to log out that i went home and sleep.... i went food and alcohol(them, not moi) bingeing with the ppl from OPS support, ang hirap kumain at uminom ng nag-eenglish. hehehe. as useless when it's freeloading andun ako. haha. i had the boss buy me double espresso(see, am hooked!), then while everyone had starters i already am on the main course, when everyone had the full meal, i was polishing my dessert. hehehe.... namemorize ko na food at pepe's that i already know that the starters could not be without gambas, that one should try anything with pesto, and well, their dessert is odd, yung panacotta with banana did weird me out.... then us, minus the boss RLo,all caught, wag kang lilingon....yeah, at first it was like some cheap budget film until we ended up screaming...wut ate me was the thought of having to sleep alone saturday night and am like promise na, by monday iam not gonna do petiks....and what was crazy was the fact that my lunchtime is at 3am, tas i've noone to have lunch with cuz ppl are on calls, tas in the movie, the witching hour would be at 3am. leche. when i got home there was at least 10msgs on my phone. and pinaka-abnormal was....i need medicine....i thought he was seriously needing medicine. i replied. he didn't text back....i spaced out the whole saturday night...when nikki and cee and everyone else had a saturday night story to tell....

 

 

wukits, ilearned something being with the gals from support tho, that i snap out of the insecure mode cuz the world is fair daw, balibaliktarin ko man ang world, God made it like so, but, it is still fair in sooo many odd ways...and that i start finding security within me and not from others....with that said....i guess they made sense....

 

 

yipee, i made it to church, cee came by my place after i got done with laundry, then we took the cab to her iba na ang mayor ng baranggay church, then we had lunch there cuz it's their 12th thanksgiving. imiss my own church, i miss mbc, and the thought of kantata during the holidays and teaching the kids from the outreach program...i miss having to spend friday night fellowship with the young ppl, having long discussions of discipleship with ate sundee, struggling to understand philosopy and our Jesus with shasha,and the long walk home with ian...that's how iloved before, and i could not think i could ever reclaim that girl who took the baby Christian walk....but, am glad cee is around. and ppl like jeremy. constant reminders of having to keep the faith...and am glad there's lechon...haha.

 

then we had coffee at bob's cafe-lacson, while cee was trying to troubleshoot connecting to wifi i asked cris to call,imiss the guy who loves my sister and will marry her. haha. imiss shobe. ;( but the choco-mint berry ice cream from FIC made me happier. wukits, lemme tell you they've this delicatessen carrying everything from cheese, olive oil, mint sauce, even altoids. ang funny. but, walk out ako when my allergen named tim came by...

 

itold vincent sinasapot ako, that he can wake me up when it's about dinner time, hehehe, cee, him et moi had dinner at imay's, we were supposed to go to carlos, but, the wait time there was too long, and they only had steak daw...(plus the fact that mamatay ako sa lungkot if we ate there) so we settled for lutong bahay. the place served decent sinigang na pis, oysters, and stuffed squid-well si vincent lang ang kumain ng marami nun...tas bob's uli cuz si allergen tim would catch up, we had tea(oh chammomile na walang lasa pero paborito parin kse nga walang lasa) while cee was tinkering with her laptop...and am wondering how many times would i PMS in amonth...that i did another version of walk out, this time the more krung krung kinda walk out, buti nalang i did not have to take the cab, vinchent offered to drive me to mcdo and wait for nikki. and cee was in an ahay-achee-sorry mode hehehe, kawawa, she was supposed to crash in my pad, tas i asked her to go home cuz tinotoyo ako muchos. ewan ko ba ba't ako inis na inis kay tim as a person.... then nikki had her as useless mcfloat fix, she amazed vinch cuz she was in her shingles mode cuz she could neither speak ilonggo or tagalog and she could only speak english and chinese and cebuano, and vinch was like may ganun palang tao...sbe ko, oo si nikki....hehehe

 

he then drove us to sorrento, na malungkot, asked him to come back for us, he took us to eastblock and left...so two gals were left with a pitcher of strawberry margaritas, a box of marlboro red, and too many mishaps to share.... ayun, i ended up with this hagulhol OA na crayola mode, and nikki was like raeny, ang swerte nya na kaya, ilang beses ka nang naiyak(-awww bisaya diay), undangi na na....then we walked towards starmart east, had vodka cruiser and mac, tas we decided to just go home, nikki was cee's replacement nalang, she decided to sleep over...we didn't exactly sleep cuz we ended up doing more chikkas that red and cee ended up being there tas we had breaksfast at jollibee... and so i realized it's monday na pala.

 

hay.

 

over the course of my conversation with nikki, she asked, as if you do not have a relationship with God, and choking my tears am like if my relationship with Him is not at all rocky nikki, i would not ever look for another person to fill the void, i would not cling on anyone to tell me am wukits....

 

sighs i have yet to fix it. i will.

 

i even told her that during the year i asked God for a life-altering experience, He gave me piayaland. in so many ways my life was altered that my heart could not contain the blessings;that i see them in a different light when i fact, i should've been grateful cuz i always always had answered prayers. tas i told her next time when i pray i better put up a checklist so that i would be more specific. Ü

 

 

 

fifay and i were exchanging sms last saturday, itold her i had to live up to being greta, she said nooo raen, we better be ruffa. haha. gawd, i miss her. :)

 

and am not ever going to pick up a cigarette and ever touching alcohol. new year's resolution. this early.....

;)

my am totally lucky to be doing what am doing mode is gone. am supposed to say am grateful cuz i found ppl who cared enuf in this gawdforsakenland. to be a friend, to love when i've the chance. pero, mainit na ulo ko. leche.

i saw how she's described na. she's perfect, i guess. no, not perfect. she's right-too too right. i could not get over the whole thing. 
hay ako ai isang sourgrape.

now i rarely open my windows to look at the stars. i would end up feeling idiotic. i rarely look at my phone cuz i might end up leading somebody on-again that i truly truly cared. siguro, reflex lang jud nako to care and to like stare with fondness and to ask ppl how they are, lalo na those ones who would voluntarily be there for you. how can you not reciprocate diba? all i wanted is this person to share the same Jesus with me. mahirap meet half way if yer SO doesn't know the God that you serve or the God that you think is God. am not making sense. i want SO to have my God. yun. then things would fall into place.

sighs. Lord know my heart. hold it down. no, keep it. it's Yers. take it agen. it  is Yers. You got me. 

i wouldn't openly say i've backslid. it would hurt. <3 i'll find my way back to You, promise. 


hay, iam in the crappiest mood tonight.
sooofooootah. lami magbitch fit! surang surangon ko sa shift. paetch.

oh, am the happiest camper today errr after shift....third wheeling naman. not me not cee not ej, ilike it when i go out by threes.... we had breakfast at mcdo. masaya. it's like having friends in cebu, not quite but, ihave friends. haha.

then cee et moi in stilletos, spell check and wedges came by the public market and haggled for a soft broom/ clothes pins/ and plastic hangers. ang babaw ko. pero masaya.

i faced the inevitable. leche. i am so much braver now cguro. parang am not fighting the ghost na. i faced the ghost. it made me puke my heart out. pero i am still stitched together and whole.

how to mess up a perfect weekend








Mood: exhausted
Music:bed of lies-matchbox20


i did not finish my week's quota, so here i am on a monday morning, doing wut i should've done last week, muchos procastination. sighs.

i am happy cuz we are smsing again, not the four hour kind- with talks about our fave person, fave food, fave anything. it's just talk talk na parang how they would put it here, pawala. i even mentioned i missed him, pero siguro it's incredulous to miss someone whom you see everyday. ewan. siguro nga. ;(

ayun sabi ni joe, people would end up natak-an... i guess am a huge candidate for the katalaka kind


<3

saturday morning was spent sleeping, i woke up around 9, with several sms unread, cee smsd that we go out, he asked if we were going out too, nanibago nga ako, cuz the past few weeks parang non-entities na nga treatment namin, except when i'd stay in their pods and would deliberately talk to him or his teammates. cee and moi had dinner at mccafe, i had one shot espresso, maka-addict najud...then we came by depot, cuz we were off to see peter-trainer, cuz it's his going home party, ummm we danced(??) then i told vicky and mac we were leaving, i guess i told em we were going home, but, they saw us at MO2, hehehe. tumbling, ang going home... cee left me with vincent to finish the small pitcher of the margarita she bought, then vincent and i had club sandwich at business inn... then vince took me and cee home, i begged cee that we check liquid, nge, too late, jeremy's car wasn't there, i guess; who'd stay til 4am at liquid? hehehe...

sunday, cee came by, we had plans of going to lagoon to jog, or play badminton, or go to church then to TP and i finish my monitors, then she ended up wanting to sleep, i was compelled to change my linens, cuz it's about time that i do, she bought me some lavender tin canned candles and some incense with the ceramic holder, i feel like my place is full of lilac-coloured thingys... we then made rice and tuna, then we ended up zzzzzz, snoozing, then she told me she doesn't feel too well, she ended up puking blood. she was soo wan, it's the first time that i saw her blanche out. i told him cee had this weird wilted veggie look(and manny won-hehehe), he replied get an ambulance. gago.

i smsd jeremy, asked him if we could take cee to ER, yep, pinagER. am like laughing pero am a wreck kaya inside, am like thinking wut if ma finds out how kalat iam here, wut if her mom gets heartbroken with wut i suggested cee to do. wut if i killed many many people in the process.... shicks, am a murderer. ewan, sobrang nahihiya nko kay jeremy. 

the other week am too wasted to think straight kung ano ano na nisms ko skanya, i promised i'd go to church, i did not sms him, and keeps missing church, now, i had to tell him a part of my herstory and now cee's. parang, gawd, when i think about it, mine and cee's problem that we had to overcome is plainly BOREDOM and we're like 23 and 24s who could not think straight and aren't too responsible of our actions. 

we are like two of the luckiest people in the world, we only tend to ourselves. we can be selfish whenever we want it, we aren't compelled to take care of other ppl other than ourselves, tas we would endup not really taking care, good care of ourselves. tanga na siguro kami at kalahati if we do sayad stuff that will take us to the hospital again.

that brings me back to the one conviction that i had before....
the world does not need better condoms, the world doesn' t have to be taught better contraception, if you call yourself a Christian stick with a Christian who won't break yer soul and yer heart... 


i had to talk to her mom, ewan if i should talk to ma about the mess imade this week one of these days.... i did talk to cee's mom. sighs. iwish i did not addup or we did not addup to her daily burden. kakahiya talaga. she even drove me home. hay.

<3

he smsd during the night. parang buti naman, he is not mad at me when i told jeremy to kiss him. haha. kafunny, am really wasted saturday night man din. pero from now on, am not gonna make the booze or alcohol accountable for my buangit texting.

<3 during the stay in ER, there was this stretcher with the label: ER / Morgue, totally distracting, jeremy had to take the fill-out sheet from me and filled it out for Cee, hehehe. then he left...buti nalang vincent came by, sya naging next school bus....

earlier sunday morning itold cee am wondering why am i here, she said, sge lang chee, you're here and yer learning, yessss, i realized that in the process of learning things about other people, i am relearning to get to know who iam.


tama ka: be responsible for your actions raen.


i guess it's about time....




<3
but if there's nothing there to make things change

but if things don't work out like we think
and there's nothing there to ease this ache///

soft buttery night

i thought i ate too little of the so called real food/ decent healthy good for me stuff lately. but, now that i think of it, ithink i have been eating out of boredom. so here goes the calorie count(after days of yakisoba....and corned flakes) starters: crispy crablet/ onion rings/calamares/ salpicao wit muchos garlic/green mango shakes/ peppered steak served with mashed potatoes/ potato chips/ shoestring onions...hahaha. decent dinner. double espresso pa...all @ 21. ;) ilovelove the place....see, ang saya, even if am broke i get to eat ummm semi-fine dining. courtesy of the client. nagthink twice pko una cuz i myt endup eating dinner tas english mode. may nalang our bosses speak the same language that i do. ;)


wukits. i spent the day pmsing. i ended up crying over the littlest silliest thing. yun pla it's the time of the month.


our site lead claire mentioned she dug up some of my poems. embarrassing talaga. am a bit flushed when she said she read some of them.... to think today i thought i looked wan/pale/sallow and i thought my eyes were toooo small because of too much delilahs. (ilove celine lopez)

murag aptly said jud ako mafeel here, i speak their language tho, pero murag lahi ako pagkaintindi. or if everyone speaks it, murag ako ra dili makasabot nila maayo.


who'd name their daughter finn?

al is leaving for manille. i wish i had his point of view. to settle in a city like this. until i find me and things pulled together or until i find myself deserving of a city i will settle, masking wa butterflies.

(ilost the latter part of this entry kakaedit)

mental notes









Mood: weird
Music:Sitting, Waiting, Wishing -jack johnson

merese sa usa na wa na minaw early on sa coaching, karon di na mada ang hurt hurt. meresi jud. dapat jud kibaw najud ka ug active listening.

oh, it's too painful to look at my back, andon ang constellation cassiopiea(spell check). merese sad kay pataka panghaplas. 

<3 saturday, i slept the whole day, did nothing productive, but, cee came by and brought dinner, haha, then we went to bob's coffee shop in lacson, and i discovered that the bata libertad route is soooo 21B in so many ways. then czar smsd, that we start bingeing (they bought tequilla), so we headed back to my place, ayun sa rooftop, moi, cee, nikita, red, czar. parang sorority gals in collge, haa! then off we go to tempo. wukits, again in my OA wasted self, i ended up smsing ppl with OA, grover (grabeng over) OA na mga delilah texts. i even told jeremy am used to getting wut i want. hahaha. kataw-anan. buti nalang when i smsd ppl sunday morning, they told me i did not say anything embarrassing. 

<3 wala ka naman nagsimba?  hehe, kaulaw nako, again i missed church. ;( i found one near my place na. i will be back when i don't feel like dragging my tush to be there. i'll be there when am ready. promise Lord. dghan na answered prayers this year. i mentioned a life altering experience, you gave me piayaland. altered pagmaayo. haha.

<3 sunday, i slept thru the day again, but, am more productive, i started my laundry, tas kita ko'g spider na daku. hay. unsaon pag catch sa spidey, para di xa magmultiply sa house? gaugtas ko dagan dagan after niya. mao toh ni text rajud si jerjer, gablackmail nako sko mga sms na pakauwaw ug maka tumbling. then i spaced out, tingin ko monday na. except naka recall ko that armz smsd that i help him stay awake and that he had two chapters to go before he goes zzzz. hay, kamingaw njud ko nla.

today mas productive: i did groceries, i finished the laundry, i cleaned my shoebox apartment, i folded the clothes, i made me lunch, rice et tuna. namali gyapon pagkaluto. hay. nadouble murdered ang tuna. ummm nakikain ng maling at rice kina czar wit nikki, had 3 or 4 shots of bailey's, had too much, oh not too much cigarettes, basta masaya ang monday. haha.

at ako nalang matitirang tenant ng building by weekend. hay, queen of the castle. literally.  ;(

carla's in PS mla. ano na? kinsa sulti nalingaw ko nanghawa na ta tanan sa davao. pano na mga easy gurls?!!!!


and if 3 years ago i thought her life's perfect, i thought wrong, maybe she was just protected by the walls of ateneo, maybe the real world can or is really hurting her now. and maybe money isn't really everything after all.

at buti nalang, pera lang problema ko. hihi.


augustine, you took my breath away. sagsdi. sana anjan parin ako. tanga ka eh. wala ng missu more. missu lang.
verlaine pag email na.
jaezbereny loveyou ueeejit!

long day, long weekend

i'm touched because other people will try to make a way to somehow make me feel valued or special even if i am not asking. lalo na those ones that i would not expect anything from.


i've this weird happiness slash jumpiness inside despite the fact that i am looking forward to a weekend of laundry, of pansit canton, of nothing much to do but laze around at home without a tv, but, i've got good books to read tho, tas with noone to talk to unless someone phones in. ayoko ng phone calls. ayoko ng text messages. i want my sisters, my mom, my nephew, my set of gal pals in cebu, the way i had them 4 months ago.


moving here changed me. big time. i talk alot, a whole lot still. i get irked still. i am impatient and patient at some point. i keep quiet, i rant. okits, istill am me. but, i feel like i am not scared anymore, that i can take any city when i want it. or when i have the resources. ha!


it has been a long day, people will loathe me because i am doing my job. it's never personal. it's how i hear it and how i judge the way i see wut is happening. i can be subjective, but i am pro correctness. i've never been too technical with too many things, to think i am laxed when i am monitoring, i try not to find fault and look at the better side of an agent. but, if i could pinpoint what is wrong, i would write people up. it's my  job to write people up. i am not here to make friends.


i am getting the hang of the worksheet and how i monitor calls. it has taken it's toll on me the past few days, but, i still am keeping it together, if di na kaya, ang madaling gawin ai.... xempre magwalk out. dun lang naman ako magaling.


ahandheld.


raenyberry. loveserves parin. todo.


 

panalo toh. e-repost ang puno ng mangga.

I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world)


You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
(Let's stop the world)


 


There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world)

 



I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world)

 


I'll stop the world and melt with you...

then i slept til 3pm, imagine. cee, then smsd, we had dinner at bob's gaisano. then slept again.  i was wondering why i kept ordering the sate everything. eh ang odd naman talaga ng lasa. haha.


 


i've never been in such a happier disposition til today. sleep na sakto lang plus the fact that i already have been clued in with wut am gonna do in the next few months made me feel secure unti, plus my sisterrrrs will be here. yay!

Mood: content
Music:i love you more today than yesterday

finally, we graduated last night...november 4, 2006, after 3 months of intensive(care) training. the photo slideshow of people who came in and out of the wave gave me shiverrrrs.... saturday night was supposed to be a pool party, but, the rain ruined the luau/poolside thingy we were having, they moved the tables inside and we had dinner in the lounge instead. but, it was fun.... the morning class 6-2 sang, wouldn't it be nice. Christian that was great...and thank you for asking how am i. Jeremy, was on the drums. ayuns. Nikki looked pretty last nyt. well, she is usually pretty lalo na when we are going out. ;) wukits, the 2-10 class presented as well, this is cee's class... i am not sure wut wuz the song's title, but, it's deooo mee deoo i think that's how i heard it. then Javin did this yoga stunt. haha. and some of the guys sang a line or two. then my class, (i joined along with imports from other class) sang turn around....hahah, the walang kamatayang turn around. boo...di pla turn around yun...total eclipse of the heart yun. dinner was decent talaga. i sat wit cee, nikki, toria, billy, teacher slash dalai lama al, and mac. then the iloveyou more today than yesterday, ayala sureseats played. i almost wept. gawk...imiss the love mall slash cebu.....wukits, am glad czar's wukits na. am starting to get depressed wit the situation, plus the fact that some b*tch or b*stard wuz trying to promote my lj account. wow. 

best sms i got last night:
i am starting to hate her werewolf na rin raen. take care. 

haha.

<3

kilig thingy: claire, the site lead had her speech, then i extended my hand, then she gave it a squeeze. oh yes, when i grow older i wish i'd know leadership like how she knows it too well. 

after, the certificates were given it sunk into me that we are gonna start ops monday. training had been cumbersome but, it sure was a learning experience for most of us kids. and xempre it taught me to become more patient and impatient with ppl. awwww, cut the mush raen. you can't wait for ops. yer wicked. ;)

<3

then i went out with cee. because iloveyou, i won't say no. mo2, then hooshi, then some ewan, san yun where it smelled funky.... but, i can tell i cannot force myself to have fun when am tired, i went home, and dang...my knob was busted. i could not get inside my place. 20 minutes, i tried unlocking the door, and then uttered a Lord ipa-open sesame mo na toh please. and it opened. haha. ;)

funniest reply i got last nyt: 
raen: nyt .... 
xa: k


natawa ako. 

saturday morning, eric showed libertad to moi. it's not as scarey as i thought it wuz, but, it smelled funny, to think, as we were walking around, i was eating bichu-bichu. spell gross. tas pansin ko si eric namimihasa na, ginagawang malaking lavatory bahay ko. jawk. i appreciate the fact that you listen and you confuse me eric. haha.
hapon, out with cee, robinson's...she got me two pillows. yay. ;) and then we had facial. hahaha. my nose feels out of proportion today cuz of the poking. (ano daw?)
mother banig, am sorry i did not get to see you yesterday, it's a roller coaster.

and all we did today is petiks. and calibration, which was helpful. ;)

 

Tuloy Pa Rin

 

Sa wari ko'y
Lumipas na ang kadiliman ng araw
Dahan-dahan pang gumigising
At ngayo'y babawi na

Muntik na
Nasanay ako sa 'king pag-iisa
Kaya nang iwanan ang
Bakas ng kahapon ko

CHORUS:
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na 'kong hamunin ang aking mundo
'Pagkat tuloy pa rin

Kung minsan ay hinahanap
Pang alaala ng iyong halik (alaala ng 'yong halik)
Inaamin ko na kay tagal pa
Bago malilimutan ito

Kay hirap nang maulit muli
Ang naiwan nating pag-ibig (alam ko na 'yan)
Tanggap na at natututo pang
Harapin ang katotohanang ito

CHORUS:
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na 'kong
hamunin ang aking mundo
'Pagkat tuloy pa rin

Muntik na
Nasanay ako sa 'king pag-iisa
Kaya nang iwanan
Ang bakas ng kahapon ko


CHORUS:
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na 'kong hamunin ang aking mundo
'Pagkat tuloy pa rin
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na 'kong hamunin ang aking mundo
'Pagkat tuloy pa rin
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko (tuloy pa rin)
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo (hugis ng mundo mo)
Handa na 'kong hamunin ang aking mundo (hamunin)
'Pagkat tuloy pa rin (tuloy pa rin)
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na 'kong hamunin ang aking mundo
'Pagkat tuloy pa rin
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko (tuloy pa rin)
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo (oh..hoh..)
Handa na 'kong hamunin ang aking mundo (handang harapin ang mundo)
'Pagkat tuloy pa rin
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na 'kong hamunin ang aking mundo
'Pagkat tuloy pa rin

i cannot fax.the city of angels. lonely as i am together we cry.









Current mood: contemplative
Current music:california here we come






 

wukits, we did goth today, but, the agents did better than us. ang saya ng stuff that they came up wit, but, not everyone came in costume.



 

i guess am getting better at sleeping. haha. cee, smsd that we go to gaisano city, but, i read it like really late na. then ended up sleeping again. ;( impossible na toh.

 

at blocked na ang lahat ng proxy, disabled narin ang tools link. malaleche. huhuhu. i can be found at marchraenmaker.livejournal.com.... dun na naman. lonely nga lang. huhu.

 

 


1 Chronicles 4:9-10


9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez,  saying, "I gave birth to him in pain." 10 Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.


good thing that you asked. now, i remembered. ;)


 


kermit smsd. so did wari. haha, dear Lord, you have a funny way of making ppl remember me. today pa of all days. haha. the guys from etel are doing okits, tiney's on hr, wow. pogi ila temporary HR, then moy's doing okits with matrix he mentioned some best practices on the floor. ewan. everything is above my head and i am under the weather. ;( dichee signed the JO for PS. yey! gawd, amiss my sisters.... ;( shobe, well i haven't heard anything from her today.


<3


years back, there's this reality show about yuppies on mtv from allover asia. i just remembered one gal from hong kong who is getting thru life in a shoebox apartment tas the only real connection nya to the outside world is the mobile phone, and then she eats wanton noodles tas she cries muchos and i thought she is pathetic. now, i feel like am in her shoes. potcha.


okits, now am worried. i hope jeremy's okay. ;( hay Lord. be there before we break.


 


am trying to figure out the recorded call, but, then again, with the noise in the background, all that i can gather is the tech making a really long hold. grrrr.


notes on living alone:  a rice cooker would work wonders. pang heat ng water l make soup l cook yer rice l you can make noodles or canton l boil eggs l do stuff except toast bread.


tas when yer flush breaks, ummm yer in trouble, then you'd think, payback sa sins ko this week.


tas the window locks break din, oh well, magnanakaw alert!     


according to joe's tarot card reading, w/c i wouldn't really take seriously, i'd end up with a messed up week. sighs. it's such a sweet, sweet november. lemme soak in the starrrrs.*****


oh wari, hehe, have a good 25th year. do a good turn daily. as if you'll endup reading this. thank you for turning 24 wit me. am sorry it happened badleee. everyone needs someone. know that. ;) am sorry i gave up cebu too soon. yaaaay. ;( dili sultion kay anogon if you didn't mean it. tama ka, i guess.


love,


raenyberry

...I would stare at the grains of light suspended in that silent space, struggling to see into my own heart. What did I want? And what did others want from me? But I could never find the answers. Sometimes I would reach out and try to grasp the grains of light, but my fingers touched nothing.
