True Life

Kahit gaano mo pa ipaliwanag ang isang bagay kung ayaw naman unawain ng kausap mo, wala ring saysay. Paulit-ulit mo mang sabihin kung hindi rin naman kayang tanggapin ng pagsasabihin mo, wala pa ring magbabago. Ayos na ang masabi mo na, kahit isang beses bahala na sya kung gagawin nya o hindi. Ang mahalaga nagawa mo ang parte mo ipaalam sa kanya.

When problems come, I'm trying to be strong as I can be. But I have realized that crying may not resolve your problem but it helps to at least ease what you feel. When we're tired, fed up with life, pissed off with people and mad at this world, its okay to cry. We sometimes need to admit that we alone are weak. We still need someone to  strengthen  us. Two is still better than one.

I just realized that I'm already working for 5 years now. IBM hired me on July 2, 2007. I was just 18 years, fresh from school.    I felt so blessed when IBM gave me a chance to be trained and became their employee. Most of the people I worked with were of course older and more mature than me. I was so overwhelmed by the encouragement I was getting from them. I maybe young that time, but that didn't stop me to master my stuff :) My superiors were trusting with many things which I didn't expect. Things that were no longer within my job description but I accepted to do so. I took them as opportunities  to learn new things. ..............................................................THANK YOU IBM!!!! ^_^ Proud to be IBMer!!!  And with I'm with Concur Technologies, Inc ---- another great company! Looking forward for more  years of great experiences. 

A man who can love you at your best and who can still love when you are at your worst. He who won't be tired of listening to your non-sense stories. He  who will uncomplainingly wake up in the middle of his sleep and prepare food for you. He who will wholeheartedly trust you and will not attach GPS at your neck. A man who will speak words of love that can melt your heart. He who can be your bestriend and will love what you love. He who can swallow his pride during LQ moments. He who will stay at your side even when all the people in the world hates you. He who can say "I need you because I love you", instead of "I love you because I need you." A man who knows to respect. He who will untiringly say "I love you" even he's tired. . . . . And a man who loves Jesus more than you! <3

Maulan kaya naka-jelly shoes ako. That is how they call kahit made of plastic naman sya at hindi jelly.  Sakay ako sa jeep, maluwag, onti lang sakay na tao. Komportable akong nakasakay. Habang umaandar ang jeep, may pailan-ilang pumapara at sumasakay. Ang hindi ko malilmutan ay yung isang manong. Habang nagdedesisyon sya kung san uupo, natapakan nya yung paa ko; sa kin okay lang dahil mukang hindi naman nya sinasadya. Pero!! naulit pa ng isa pa at isa pa at isa pa! Hindi na lang ako nagsalita pero tinignan ko sya nang masama. Alam kong hindi kagandahan ang paa ko pero sabi nga ni Ana, hindi naman sahig ang paa ko. Gerbey na manong yun! Ni hindi man lang nagsorry!  Masakit eh! 

Madali lang naman akong kausap sa mga simpleng bagay eh. Ana - kaBBM ko. Nagyayang pumunta ng Glorietta. Ilang oras ang nakakalipas, sa Baclaran na lang daw kasi nasira na yung flats nya, oo naman ako. Tapos nag-message sya, Glorietta na lang daw. Mahaba naman ang total hours ng tulog ko eh, kaya oo na lang ako sa kanya. Umalis ako sa bahay ng 4:45 at nakaraing ako ng glorietta ng 5:30, grabe ang bilis ng byahe, nauna pa ko sa bruha, LOL! Ni-msg ko sya kung nasan na sya, sagot nya, mali daw ang dinaan ng taxi. Sabi ko naman wag na nyang bayaran yung drayber. hahaha! At dahil nipaghihintay nya ako sa mcdo ng walang kinakain sabi ko sa bruhildang yun ay pakain ako. At nalaman kong may nakalaang isang daang piso para sa pagkain ko. Gerbey!! Sinagot ko na lang sya, na ang tanging maiibibigay ko sa kanya ay ang oras ko na hindi mabibili saan man. Naks! Ang oras ang tanging bagay sa buhay mo na hindi mo na pwedeng balikan. :) Ayun at dumating na rin ang bruha. Naglibot kami dress ...

Air Hockey sa ipad ni Ana - ang nakaraan: natalo ko si Bern, Kurei at Ralph. - ngayon: pinagbigyan kong manalo si Farley na mula sa grupo ng mga connectors. - babawiin ko lang ang titulo sa Lunes. SongPop sa Facebook. - ang nakaraan: naisahan ako ni Jeff, dahil ang score ko isa lang sya 9. (gerbey!!!) - ngayon: so far mas lamang ako sa kanya. Lagi kong category: Christian Gospel. wahahahaha! GoodLuck sa ConcurLympics ko ^_^

[music on] Saturday morning. Done with the pending tickets. Conversed with EU of the system. He made me feel that I was just giving him a run around. I honestly got offended but I didn't let myself sound to be one. I was trying to control the tone of my voice. But anyway, I offered him a callback cause I really didn't know what to say. A big thanks to my colleague Bern for educating me what is that stuff which that man was talking about. I got back to the caller and explained to him everything with all conviction. It ended up to be a stepped he missed that failed the process. I just appreciated how he humbled himself and how he thanked me.  >.<

Ngayong araw na ito sa trabaho, parang andami kong nagawa. Una - Kinolekta ko ang mga impormasyon ng mga kliyente ko at nilagay sa excel sheet.Basta ang alam ko madaming madami na sila. Pangalawa - Pinilit kong unawain ang kaso ng isang kliyente ko na sa di maipaliwanag na dahilan ay hindi namin makita ang nihahanap nya. Pangatlo - Nakikinig sa sandamukal kong mp3. Ang totoo nyan kasama sya sa una ata pangalawanag gawain. Trip ko magtrabaho na ang naririnig ko ay musika. Mute the world and do the job. Pang-apat - Kumain kasama sina Ana, Bern, Alfred, Gina, Cathe, Farley, Jamarileen at Jeffrey. Panglima - Pumuntang Ministop, naglaro, tumunganga, tumawa, nang-asar at higit sa lahat kinagat ko si Ana at umiyak sya bwahahahaha! Tapos bumalik ng workstation nagseryoso mode and the rest was a history. Thank you Lord sa mga officemates ko! Kahit iba iba kami ng ugali at pinanggalingan, we are still able to go along together. Okay lang po na magulo sila kasi mas magulo naman ako sa...

I miss playing guitar BIG time!  I started playing guitar when I was in highschool. I kept a guitar chord from a songhits center fold. The very first guitar I used was owned by my granpa. And the very first song I learned to play is "Wag na Wag Mong Sabihin" by Kitchie Nadal. I am a so fan of acoustic and alternative music. PNE, Eheads, Hale, Callalily, Imago, Barbie Almalbis and more. I tried playing MYMP songs but got no success - kumusta naman ang plucking ni Chin noh! Hindi ko keri. Hahahaha! Strumming lang akey. I had chances of being part of two starting bands. But God has different plan for me.  I bought my first guitar when I was in college. I bought it using the allowance TESDA had given me. Ako na iskolar! hahaha! But now my poor guitar --- andun na lang nakatengga, kiwawa naman! walang strings tapos may butas pa. Pero hindi ko sya tatapon..ever! Lab lab ko yun eh!  But anyway, I wanna buy a new one kapag marami na akong pera...  at titignan ko k...

Before I let you go by Freestyle A very popular song that everybody can easily relate themselves to. I've listened to this song many many many, as in many times and it never fails to hit me straight to my heart. [emo-cheesy]. That moment when you and the one you love need to let go of each other. Painful? Yes it is but its the right thing to do. When everything is no longer working right, when you're  halfheartedly  holding on and fighting for it is going nowhere. 

Nakakapagod na rin minsan. Tasks and responsibilities are too many for my one body. I usually say,"I'm sick and tired of these!". But complaining will not do anything good. I must be thankful instead, Why? There are tons of blessings in my life God had given me without asking Him. Despite my sins and imperfections He continuously loving me. Its really easy to worship Him when everything is working okay. I honestly would say that problems sometimes dragging me away from Him. I tend to be impatient and careless. I always need to remind myself that He will not give us problems more than what we can handle and no matter what struggles we might be facing, GOD is bigger than them. Thank you Lord for loving us unconditionally! When You're the only one I have, I have everything I need!  When I'm tired, You give me rest.

I'm always amazed how God responses to my prayers. Despite my failure and imperfections, He never let go of me. I know that when I pray sincerely, He would surely answers it at the right time -- in His time. It might take time for him to say YES to a prayer but He is never late -- that's for sure. =)

"The moment you lose your focus to Jesus is the moment that you will try to sink." - Pastor Rico Ricafort In everything you do, put God first. Anything that you will put above God will drag you down. Everyone of us has priorities in life; family, work, business, deadlines, etc. Above all these things should still be our Heavenly Father. "But seek first his kingdom  and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." - Matthew 6:33

As of this very moment we are the only girls in the group (Service Admin). As long as we are together it will be an unending fun. I love her because she always laughs at my jokes even they aren't funny ---- true friend. :) btw her name is Ana from Sta.Ana, Manila. LOL! 

God wants you to be you. You don’t have to try to pretend to be someone else; you don’t have to hide who you actually are. The most attractive people I know are not the best looking; rather, they’re true to who they are. - Jon Walker [so true]

Life is not meant to be easy. Struggles and conflicts will always come along the way. Some people might encounter same burdens but results will be based on how they handle things. It always ends up with the conclusion of : the problem is not really the problem but your attitude towards it.

The closest possible place where you can be with God is the place where you are right at this moment. Let yourself feel his unending love. <3

I had no time to add more post in this blog I built. Maybe because FB and Twitter spaces are enough for me to express myself online. I used to make a blog an outlet of what I feel towards my work, a person, my life and anything under the sun. I didn't even care whether people will read or not.  After attending a church service this evening and after the encouragement I'm getting from my friends, I just realized that this blog of mine could be a good avenue to let my friends and let other people know how my life goes. This not to brag what I accomplished so far, but maybe give them ideas how a single mom like me faces this world. And most importantly share what and who keeps me going --- Lord Jesus!
