This was a post I did on June 19th 2010.
When you’re feeling down, i’m just a text away. I’ll buy a gallon of ice cream, go to your place & watch cable with you, then say - “you’ll get through it I promise”..
Got this from my former boss who’s Canadian. He took this photo out of curiosity without realizing the true meaning of the words, until his wife explained it. Bottom line: IT MADE HIS DAY!
It was so humid and we didn’t have anything else to do on a lazy Monday, so we decided to escape from our so-called boring place. We ended up going to Cloud9 to basically nourish the serenity and isolation.
The food is really “pricey” but taste is definitely not a question. Well, it didn’t really matter coz from the 3F, we were “overlooking” (OL) Manila - such a way to spend an afternoon with a loved one without having to travel and exit through NLEX/SLEX.
Bhe, it’s okay to be hurt and to dwell in the pain. Cry by all means if you have to, until you can no longer shed a single drop of tear. Hate the person if you have to. In the end, you only have yourself to love and like. I found this quote very applicable. Not precisely true to how you feel right now, but you may consider liking.
It sometimes happens that what you feel is not returned for one reason or another — but that does not make your feeling less valuable and good.
It is okay to feel depressed, alone and betrayed, but inhabiting such a state of emotion for too long IS NOT COOL, IS NOT YOU.

November 10, 1958Dear Thom:
We had your letter this morning. I will answer it from my point of view and of course Elaine will from hers.
First — if you are in love — that’s a good thing — that’s about the best thing that can happen to anyone. Don’t let anyone make it small or light to you.
Second — There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which uses love for self-importance. This is the ugly and crippling kind. The other is an outpouring of everything good in you — of kindness and consideration and respect — not only the social respect of manners but the greater respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable. The first kind can make you sick and small and weak but the second can release in you strength, and courage and goodness and even wisdom you didn’t know you had.
You say this is not puppy love. If you feel so deeply — of course it isn’t puppy love.
But I don’t think you were asking me what you feel. You know better than anyone. What you wanted me to help you with is what to do about it — and that I can tell you.
Glory in it for one thing and be very glad and grateful for it.
The object of love is the best and most beautiful. Try to live up to it.
If you love someone — there is no possible harm in saying so — only you must remember that some people are very shy and sometimes the saying must take that shyness into consideration.
Girls have a way of knowing or feeling what you feel, but they usually like to hear it also.
It sometimes happens that what you feel is not returned for one reason or another — but that does not make your feeling less valuable and good.
Lastly, I know your feeling because I have it and I’m glad you have it.
We will be glad to meet Susan. She will be very welcome. But Elaine will make all such arrangements because that is her province and she will be very glad to. She knows about love too and maybe she can give you more help than I can.
And don’t worry about losing. If it is right, it happens — The main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away.
Love,
Fa
Cheers to Em Rubio
It should have been a busy day. Well obviously, instead of doing chores I am basically glued to the net. While waiting for my download to finish, having coffee and doing the laundry all at the same time (call it my multi-tasking skill), I came across this post which naturally made my Sunday worth spending - -
Walang paglagyan ang kasiyahan ko ngayon kase hindi ko naman ineexpect lahat. Masaya na nga ako na nakapag support ako ng agents (+petiks mode kaya) naexposed din ako sa ibang bagay (wave 30, sarah remo, tl czar, tl yeye) then malay ko ba na mapprofile ako sa tech 2 … then this…
Life is worth living if you get to meet people who out of their success would think of acknowledging your presence and role in their lives. Em Rubio is one of them. I didn’t have that valuable chance to really converse with her ‘one-on-one’ but just seeing my name in her post made me smile in front of my lappy. Call it sheer happiness and pride for Em Rubio who has grown from the ranks. Cheers to you girl!
MIGRAINE would always remind me of my SME stint back in 2009. I like the lyrics, yet, it doesn’t mean I can relate to the meaning of the song. I know a few people who can though <wink>. I would normally choose this as my last piece during KTV sessions with friends. And strangely, I don’t know the reason behind it. “Oh what the heck Ye! Perhaps you just really like the song.”
Oo nga pala, hindi nga pala tayo.
Hanggang dito lang ako, nangangarap na mapa-sayo.
Hindi sinasadya, na hanapin pa ang lugar ko.
Asan nga ba ako? Andiyan pa ba sa iyo?

Two of us riding nowhere, spending someone’s hard earned pay
You and me Sunday driving, not arriving on our way back home
We’re on our way home, we’re on our way home, we’re going home
There may be challenges along with the job at hand, yet, I am having a great deal of time because of these people. Thanks for the support TEAM!

I find “IT’S COMPLICATED” hilarious, especially the memorable lines of Meryl Streep & Alec Baldwin.
I can’t relate to the story line but hey, it is realistic. Imagine your parents as the main characters. Naaahh…never mind!
Jake: I’m sorry.
Jane: How far back does that ‘sorry’ go?
Jake: How far back do you need it to go?
Jane: Wa-ay back.
