2 steps forward, 1 look backwards

It's funny how you couldn't seem to move on with each day not having the usual routine in your life. You would think, "Damn! I am loving this part right here. I wouldn't mind getting the same dose each and every day". But in a split second, everything changes.


Just like in relationships. It's an all-consuming, stress-driven, love-sickening routine that's being served to you everyday. No matter how blatantly looking each dish is, you simply take in each bit without complaining. Or in my case, even if I do, but I would still suck in huge gulps just to satiate my emotional needs. Or so I thought. 


However, having realized that sometimes getting a variety is necessary. Or in my case, getting away from the routine was important as getting an extra liter of oxygen tapped into my system just to keep me going through the next 10-30 years of my life.


Lesson learned? Change is always good - if you choose to become a better person. Sacrifices must be made. But be cautious as to who and what should be sacrificed. Sometimes it's a one-way ticket. You don't get refunds once the purchase has been made.
It kinda sounds like making a bargain to the devil. lol

down with the syndrome

I abhor getting sick. Yes, I get a leave from work but I don't get to do anything THAT much. On top of that, I wanted my first photo blog to be something on the amped up side. Oh well...


Health is definitely our wealth. And in order to stay on top of your game, we need to take real extra care of ourselves. On a more personal note, I need to minimize on sweets and coffee. And getting extra extra rest. :)


Hope everyone is well. :)

never thought good things will happen

You know that saying "love is like a thief in the night"? 

What an odd comparison right? Knowing that a thief is an uninvited guest who literally trespasses the privacy of anyone's abode and end up stealing goods, or, when seriously provoked, might end up killing an entire household with either a hand gun, a knife or simply by strangling them one at a time. Baa! That was pretty grim of me. Well, before you go flip this page and wonder how dark my thoughts are right now, this blog post simply has nothing to do with a thief..nor with love.. So what's this blabber has in store for today? Some really good news. :) 

I was simply taken aback when my Team Lead awarded me as the 2nd performer within our team. I know, I know. Some of you would think, "The hell I care!" and believe it or not, that's exactly how my mentality was regarding all these crappy recognition and stuff. Well, it was not really announced to the entire account. Nor were there monetary prizes. (I got GOYA fruits and nuts as a reward though..teehee!) The thing was, I never really expected it to happen. The account that I work for is so huge with accuracy. And it's pretty damn hard to be ALL that sure and correct almost all the time. One stroke of wrong information is a surefire guarantee of you failing your scorecard. Imagine the stress. But hey! I took that negativity aside and took work as simply.. work! So that news jumpstarted my day..

Then, on my way home, I decided to take a long walk again with my earphones on and simply admiring the beauty of the sun. Not all of us gets to see the sun literally peek from the clouds and see it rise. And the heat is super comfortable. No wonder bikers, hikers or runners would prefer doing their stuff early dawn. No UV-ray fear or what. hehehe! After that, I ate a hearty breakfast with my two most favorite persons in the world: Mama and Papa. Then I did some laundry and checked the world's famous social networking site: Facebook. hehehe!

There went another surprise! My barkada of 13 years went online and her first greeting was "Wi uli ko dha cbu nextwk hehehe" 

It was as if I had a premature ventricular contraction.. or in lay man's term "my heart skipped a beat" kind of stuff. I haven't seen her in what felt like ages. I was so full of joy that I chatted with my other kabarkada and had her on the whole thing. :) :) This kind of stuff does not happen very often. Therefore, Saturday next week is the day to look forward. And oh! I will be seeing my goddaughter for the first time - cudieeee Lora.


Sigh. God is good. Considering everything that has happened, I think summer is finally here! And if summer were a thief in the night, by all means, KILL ME! :):)

step one

Gosh! What a relief to have finally made it to blogspot. And I now have my own URL, layout..whew! (i know..i know..it's so basic for an adult like me) but hey! I managed to put up my picture, add some extra here and there without having someone else's hands maneuvering the keyboard and the mouse. I deserve a pat at the back.


Anyway, true to my header's statement, others are born with a machine gun mouth that can rattle 300-500 words in less than 5minutes. While others, though meek and silent, can shake up any babbler out there with their super-sayan blog posts! Others too, can both talk and write very well. Hmm..so which category do I belong? That, my friend, is something I need to discover. Thus, step one!
