No Barriers

I seldom get the chance to talk to my friends and keep them up-to-date with what's going on with my life... well, this is it. My online journal. Yah, another personal blog,just exactly what the world needs now. Let's be realistic, it's cheaper than overseas calls. Less tiring than novel-like emails.

Top 10 Support Phone Pix
The Support Phones of our team have rolled-off today. And before we surrendered the phone, we copied all of the pictures we have taken thru the years and placed it in a common share. Of all the pictures in the Support Phone, here are my top 10 fave:

(10) Di naman namin ka-team si Sandara, pero ewan ko nga ba kung bakit minsan yung wallpaper ng support phone e sya. Ah... ka-team namin si Hero. At wag ka, me cd pa sya ni Sandara ha.. :) (Peace! baka bigla mo na lang ako sakalin ng phone na ni-sshare natin hehehe)


(9) Early this year nagpadala ng gifts yung mga ka-team namin sa China, and isa ito sa mga natanggap namin. Syempre kailangan isukat di ba? with matching pictorial. Ang ganda! :)


(8) Papahuli ba naman si mama bel? Isa ito sa mga karaniwan mong makikita sa support phone... ang cute di ba? :) "We are family..."


(7) Sa pagpili ng sapatos, kasama pa rin namin ang support phone. Support phone na nga ang saksi sa buhay ng bawat isa sa amin. Pati sa mga major decisions at life-changing moments sa aming buhay e kasali sya. :)


(6) At tulad nga ng sinabi ko, kadikit na ng buhay namin ang support phone dati. Pati sa bawat gimik, kasama sya. O, di ba? Smile na mga friends! :)



(5) Eto ang sexy pose... este siga di ba?! :) Wala siguro si bossing nung nag-pose ka dito noh?



(4) Ito naman, poster na nakita namin sa tapat ng Tower Records. Yes, mga kapatid... me album po sila, bagamat mukha sila ahente ng barong or model ng caladryl (sa kapal ng foundation). Kawawa naman sila.. siguro tatay nila yung Producer ng kanilang album.


(3) Meron ding mga kuha na patago... Paparazzi ba? Uyyy... tsismis ba ito? Isang namumuong pag-iibigan? Coaching in the workplace. :)


(2) Client Service at it's finest. :)


(1) Eto ang pinaka-favorite ko. Hehehe. Kasalukuyan daw syang nag-sstretching nito. Sa unang tingin creepy noh... ewan ko ba tawang tawa talaga ako dito. :)

My Love's Letters
Yesterday, I have been given the chance to read through my honey's love letters from High School. Yes, we both know that they are all from the past should not even be discussed, but I was able to force him to let me read them becuase I was interested to know how he was when he was still a teen. When I was still in HS, I would remember coming to school each day with letters for and from my friends and schoolmates. I guess it was a bit different because we were all girls, so in a way I was curious about how girls would write letters to guys at that age. Most of the letters I read was from his ex-gf and close friends. Some were love letters, hate letters, sorry letters, goodluck letters and a lot of "friends forever", "TCCIC" (take care coz I care) and "Walang iwanan". Most of the letters he got were from several girls thanking him for being supportive, helpful in their studies, caring and understanding. By the way, did I mention that he got 'married' at the age of 15? Nope, not a real wedding but I am just referring to a marriage contract he and his ex-gf filled up when they we still together (I think it was a month after they became a couple). In fairness, his ex-gf does write lengthy and well-thought of letters. One of the letters I liked most was the farewell letter she wrote when they broke up. It even included all of the things she have learned in their relationship, and how she hoped for him (as she said in her letter, "with a plastic smile") to find another girl in UST

Late Meeting Notice
8:58pm - Here I am, waiting in my cube. . . 2 minutes more and it's time for my meeting. Then I got this e-mail from the person who have set the meeting saying that she has to move the meeting on March 6 because this other partner still needs to talk to other leads. Haaayy. . .

As Adam Sandler said in "The Wedding Singer":. . .
"Things could have been brought to my attention YESTERDAY!!!"

PDBB
1 Opisina
7 complete strangers
10-12 hrs a day of isolation from the outside world

No newspapers, radio or television sets
No contact with their loved ones (with phones, but sharing with your seatmate)

But there is someone who sees everything they do.

Ito ang Penoy Daw Big Brother. (Inspired by ABS-CBN's Pinoy Big Brother)

Taking the whole world by storm, this started in Midland, Southfield, Terneuzen, Manila and now Shanghai.

Ano nga ba ang pakiramdam kung ang bawat kilos mo ay minamanmanan bawat araw, bawat oras, bawat minuto?

Hanggang saan ang iyong titiisin mabigyan lang ng magandang buhay ang iyong pamilya?

Ito ang kapalit, upang pangarap mo'y makamit.

In Penoy Daw Big Brother, 7 housemates will take on challenges as individuals or as a team, which will bring out the best and worst in them. Isa-isa silang tatanggalin hanggang sa sila'y maubos.

It's real-life drama, real comedy and real victories. . .and failures.

Tunay ang iyakan. Tunay ang tawanan.
Tunay ang bawat emosyon na mararamdaman.

Ito ang teleserye ng totoong buhay!

Dream Theme
I was watching 'The Buzz' and 'Rated K' yesterday, and all I can seem to notice is that they are talking about weddings - Aiko's wedding, Wedding Rituals in some province where - people need to debate first before the groom's family will be allowed to enter soon-to-be bride's house, parents choose the man their daugther will marry and giving of dowry. Then after that, we watched the George Canseco Tribute - where the artists sang all of his compositions, like Ikaw, Ngayon at Kailanman, Tubig at Langis.

Out of nowhere something popped out of my head - when I get married I want my wedding to have a theme, Filipiniana theme. Invitations will be in Tagalog, the souvenirs will be native stuff. The hosts will speak in our native tongue. I guess this was partly influenced by the type of songs I want to be played on my wedding - Canseco's 'Ngayon at Kailanman'...I just love this song. :)

Ngayon at kailanman
Sumpa ko'y iibigin ka
Ngayon at kailanman
Hindi ka na mag-iisa
Ngayon at kailanman
Sa hirap ko ginhawa ka
Asahan may kasama ka sinta
Naroroon ako t'wina
Maaasahan mo t'wina
Ngayon at kailanman

Dahil kaya sa 'yo ng maitadhanang
Ako'y isilang sa mundo
Upang sa araw-araw ay siyang makapiling mo
Upang ngayon at kailanman
Ikaw ay mapalingkuran hirang
Bakit labis kitang mahal
Pangalawa sa Maykapal
Higit sa 'king buhay


It never fails to capture my heart as it speaks of the type of love that is bound to last a lifetime. I want our wedding vows and speeches to be given in Tagalog. I have nothing against speaking in English, and I think it would be easier for me to talk about some things in English, but I guess it's more romantic and at the same time, people will be more at ease and enjoy the wedding more. I don't want my wedding to be too formal and stiff. I want people to be their normal selves and enjoy the gathering. Yah, I know it's too early for me to think of these stuff… but just wanted to share what's going through my head right now.

Sa bawat araw ang pag-ibig ko sa 'yo liyag
Lalong tumatamis, tumitingkad
Bawat kahapon ay daig nitong bawat ngayon
Na daig ng bawat bukas

Malilimot ka lang
Kapag ang araw at bituin ay di na matanaw
Kapag tumigil ang daigdig at di 'na gumalaw
Subalit isang araw pa matapos ang mundo'y nagunaw na
Hanggang doon magwawakas pag-ibig kong sadyang wagas
Ngayon at kailanman

Marie's Wedding
Today is my cousin's wedding. Her dad and my dad are brothers. I have been a witness to her kilig moments & heartaches, and today she is finally tying the knot.

6pm Manila Cathedral
Reception: Illustrado, Intramuros
Work in Progress
Jp, my mom, my dad and I left home and went to Manila Diamond Hotel at 2pm. I am the maid of honor. I went there for my hair styling & make-up and to help Marie with the prep. My mom is also acting as one of the principal sponsors, since some weren't able to make it, so she also had her make-up & hair done.

Jp was actually teasing me while the make-up was being put on that I look like a geisha. Maybe because of the layer of foundation being put on. He-he. :)

Smile!How do I look?

I am a person who just loves being in pictures...and of course, I did ask my honey to take pictures of the wedding and me. :)

I got a bit tense before walking down the aisle. Why? Because I am tasked to give away all the flowers and secondary-sponsor-stuff (candle, veil, cord) and guess what, the 'candle' couple were late. It was already 6pm, and the church assistant was already doing the rollcall. Grabe, and when they arrived, ang bagal pa ha. It's like as if no one was waiting for them. Anyway, syempre despite of all the tension (and thinking of what I will say in my speech), kailangan all smiles pa rin.

Just like any other wedding, we had the tossing of the bouquet. Luckily, I was in the washroom when that happened. Hehehe... (My mom asked me to go with her to the washroom, and when I heard that my cousin was already calling out for all single females, I decided to just watch them from the washroom, hehehe. After that they had the garter toss. Jp wasn't able to escape the garter toss. No, he did not get the garter.

While the others were busy eating dessert or chatting, we were also busy taking pictures. :)


We are family... With the 2 most impt men in my life

me and my honey With my beautiful cousin

Corrupted Plans
It's a friday, and I have plans for tonight...Tomorrow is my cousin's wedding, and she's already in the Manila Diamond Hotel. She has invited us to join us in her last night for some "get-together". :) Unfortunately, We had some issues with the application we support today and it has not yet been fixed as of 5pm. My plan is to leave the office at 5:30, sad to say, I could not leave. Our team still needs to look into the problem. I also texted my boyfriend since we were supposed to meet today. I said I'll meet him at 6. And as expected, I was still in the office. Then I said, maybe I can try 7pm...9pm..10pm... I really felt so bad. I should have never said a time or should have not set anyone's expection that I am going to meet them today. :( Oh, well. At least we were able to fix the problem around 10:30pm. Things weren't as bad as they were...good thing Yas was in Makati and we went home together. (Yup, naiwan na kasi ako ng fx.)

p.s. Happy Birthday, Johnston!

"Penny for your thoughts..."
Some people just seem to just see right through you. My mom does. Everyday we walk together to the tricycle station... and this morning, we had a post-valentine discussion:

Nanay: "Anong bigay sa yo ni Jp kahapon?" (fishing for info if we went out yesterday? hehe)
Cel: "Wala po."
Nanay: "Wala? Kahit rose, Valentines e. Buti pa dati nung college ka, may mga nagbibigay sa yo ng roses. "
Cel: "Me duty po sya. Di kami nagkita"
Nanay: "Kahit na."

I have already seen this coming, and I am not surprised if I did not get anything last night. We had a nice time last night, and pretty much did the things we enjoy doing. We had dinner, played in Timezone (House of the Dead) and watched a movie (Fun with Dick and Jane). Everything went fine, until I started telling him the story of how my teammate prepared for valentines and his efforts to make the day meaningful. That's when I realized that even if I have already prepared myself with something I should not be "surprised" of, deep down in my heart I know that I want something more. I do appreciate his efforts to see me today despite his NRES deadline. I know I should not have opened my mouth and ruined the night. Why am I like this? I know that I should not expect people to treat me the same way others do or the same way how I treat them, but I am just hoping that they put in some extra thought or make me feel that I have been thought of.

Love and marriage
Love and marriage,
Love and marriage
Go together
Like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other
Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it's elementary


I woke up today hearing Frankie's hits. My dad is a Sinatra fan and most of the time you can hearing Mr. Blue Eye's song coming out of our house. While putting on my socks and singing along with "Love and Marriage", my dad suddenly blurted out -- don't get married yet, Cel. Huh? Where did that come from? He said -- "Maybe when you reach the age of 30+... that way you can enjoy more of your single life." My mom did not agree with my dad (Yey!)... she said that anytime me and my boyfriend are ready (in all aspects) then I can get married. I am turning 25 this year, and have always imagined myself walking down the aisle at the age of 27. Well, I guess it doesn't really matter what I age I get married... I will get married irregardless of what age I am, as long as we are very much in love and ready to take the next big step. :)

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one without the other


Happy Valentines Day!!!

Off the Grill
After we have patched things up, Jp joined me and my HS friends for our night out. We went to 'Off the Grill' in Timog. I had a really nice time with Nina, Reggie, Dionella and Jp. Aside from taking pictures :), we also spent time to catch up and get updates on how each one of us are doing.





The band was playing R&B songs tonight, and luckily they played one of my current favorite songs:
Stickwitu
by Pussycat Dolls


I don't want to
go another day
So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind
Seems like everybody is breaking up
Throwing their love away
I know I got a
good thing right here

That's why I say (Hey)

Nobody's going to love me better
I'm going to stick with you forever
Nobody's going to take me higher
I'm going to stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I'm going to stick with you, My baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I'm going to stick with you

I don't want to go another
So I'm telling you
exactly what is on my mind
See the way we ride
In our privated lives
Ain't nobody getting in between
I want you to know that
you're the only one for me
And I say

Nobody's going to love me better
I'm going to stick with you forever
Nobody's going to take me higher
I'm going to stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I'm going to stick with you, My baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I'm going to stick with you

And now
Ain't nothing else I can need
And now
I'm singing 'cause
you're so, so into me
I got you
We'll be making love endlessly
I'm with you
Baby, you're with me

So don't you worry about
People hanging around
They ain't bringing us down
I know you
and you know me
And that's all that counts

So don't you worry about
People hanging around
They ain't bringing us down
I know you and
you know me
And that's why I say

Nobody's going to love me better
I'm going to stick with you forever
Nobody's going to take me higher
I'm going to stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I'm going to stick with you, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I'm going to stick with you

Nobody's going to love me better
I'm going to stick with you forever
Nobody's going to take me higher
I'm going to stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I'm going to stick with you, My baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I'm going to stick with you

Need I say why this is my favorite?

5hrs of silence
I woke up early today. Maybe because I feel sad. So, I sent a text message and asked him if we are going to see each other today. He said he does want to see me but his head is aching (I suppose due to last night's red horse).

I really wanted to see him... so around 1pm, I left our house and went to their place. Given that I am having tantrums the previous night, because:
1.) He said he misses me, but did not make any effort to see me
2.) He did not tell me that their gimik will push thru. And when I called him, he was already drunk
3.) I have been asking if the girl I didn't like was there, and he never told me that she there until I specifically asked for it.
4.) He said he'll start to avoid her, ah, ok.. so why did you have to accompany her when she was about go home
5.) He was soooo drunk... He could not even remember how he got home. :(

Ok, so I was in their living room, watching TV. I am still talking to him, but more of just responding to his questions or reacting to his stories. I am feeling sad & pissed off. I am not in the mood to share anything. (Actually, some of the people in their house have already noticed that I am not speaking, and have asked why I am sad). I didn't like the movie that was being shown right now in their TV, so I just decided to put my earphones on. And in a few minutes, I fell asleep. I woke up at 4pm. Yup, and we still haven't talked about why I am sad. I am just singing along with the songs in "Bad Mood" playlist.

After several attempts to make speak, I finally gave in. I told him why I am angry and he explained his side. After almost 5hrs of silence, we finally settled things. :)

Mamam
It's friday once again, and I am still in the office. (Yah, it's still early - 8pm?) We're not very busy these days and I am just working 8 productive hours per day. So, why am I still here? Isn't it obvious... umm.. this.. blog.. of course, I'm blogging.

I am having tantrums right now. I just hate it when people tell me that they miss me, and even if they have to oportunity to be with me or see me, they would opt to go somewhere else... (Yes, I know it's a 2-way street, and just so you'd know, if do get the opportunity, I do act on what I feel and take the effort to see that person.) Think of this example, you haven't seen your boyfriend for 5 days straight. You are both busy... work, exams. He does sends you messages once is a while, and you also call each other in the phone sometimes. And just when you are hoping that you are about to see him, he calls you on your cellphone and he is drunk, with all his friends and the girl you are so envious of. And as I promised, I held my temper and just tried to be civil about it... grrrrr...

*Mamam (ma mam) v. - a word that babies use to say when they want to drink. For grown-ups, this is equivalent to "inom". Inuman na!

53.97%
I took the Jealousy Test today, and I am 53.97% jealous!
For this test, the average jealousy percentage is 35.54%.
515042 people have taken this test to date.

According to the site, This percentage means that:
- I exhibit many jealous traits.
- I am prone to over-react.
- Although my jealousy shouldn't prove to be a real problem, I should work on controlling
it more.
- Things aren't often as bad as I think.

And the Countdown begins...
Our team

Pat, Giff and I were teasing each other before as to how long we will be deployed in our current client. I guess the answer we have been waiting for has finally arrived. We will all soon be 'released' and will be deployed/moving on to other opportunities with other clients. I have been here for almost 5 years already, and I had some mixed emotions I heard the announcement about this. Not that I am soooo attached to the work that I am doing (really? ok, ok..maybe a bit because I love what I do), but mostly because the team I been with for the past years will soon be gone. :( A lot of people have joined and left the team, and each time someone leaves, I always feel sad. I am not really good at saying goodbyes. But now that we will all be leaving each other, It feels different. I will surely miss all of them and the other people/teams we have been working with. I have always considered them more than just my teammates, but my friends. Aside from that, It was only just late last year that I have gotten to know the more about the people I am working with esp. Tapasi. I am still thankful though that I got to meet her in person. Just a few months left... and we'll be having another rigodon. No, I won't be transferring in another area/cube. But this time I'll be moving to another building. :)

*I really hope I won't be one of the people in the team who'd be the last to go, why?
1.) Because that would mean no one will be throwing a roll-off party for me hehe
2.) I really don't like seeing people leave
3.) I won't have anyone to tease anymore
4.) No more window shopping with my teammates during lunch
5.) Ayoko maiwan sa bahay ni Kuya!!!

10 things/people will I miss most in my current project - -
1.) Dorymus & Wringkly
2.) Katz, Bel, Giff, Pat and Davis - who always listens to my love problems. Well, sometimes they can't help but hear me & my boyfriend's conversation. Minsan nang-gagatong sila..hehehe.. pero mas madalas yung nagbibigay sila ng advise. Lalo na si Bel and Katz. :)
3.) Sharing the phone with Davis
The phone is usually in Davis' area. I remember one time when I the phone call was for me, that I immediately took the phone unit...without realizing that the the headset is still on Davis' head. Hehehehe. :) Buti na lang di sya nasakal.
4.) Ang pag-iinit ng lunch ko and eating lunch with my teammates
5.) Mga joke-time namin ni Davis (funny daw kasi kaming 2 kasi me humor 101 kami nung college hehehe)
6.) Mga pang-aasar namin kay Big Brother
7.) Being the unbeatable team in charades ha-ha!
8.) Friday Breakfast
9.) Winpop... :)
10.) Team Buildings and Doing Team Presentations (Flores De Mayo-yung mga flowers..., Halloween, Chinese-inspired Xmas Party)

Not a bad idea
Got a text message from Honeycure today...
Ei, kmain knb? Wat tym k uwi?my miting kb?ano nauna itlog o

Funny hehehe. :) Sometimes when you're so stressed out with what's happening around you, simple things like this can really bring out some smile (or even a smirk will do). :) It's not a bad idea to smile once in a while.

Rest Day?
Today is my honey's rest day. Why? Because his duty is from 11pm-7am Sun-Wed. He always tells me that he won't be able to see me because he needs to sleep...But every Sunday, he finds it hard to refuse me. :) Today is just one of those days...

Around 10:30am, I texted him that I am going to Quiapo today to buy the DVDs that Pat wants me to look for. I asked him if he was busy, if he wants to join, etc. etc. and as expected after several text messages, I was able to convince him. I can't wipe off the grin on my face. It's the things like this that make me appreciate my honey even more. It doesn't really matter where we are going, I guess the point is, as long as we are together, I am pretty sure something good is bound to happen. :)

Siena
I went to my HS alma mater today. It wasn't planned. I was supposed to meet my bf today and accompany him to Valenzuela, as he needs to submit something to their prof in Fatima. Somewhere in between listening to my iPod and singing along with the songs, my bf told me that we were going to Siena. Why? Because we need to get her sister's report card.

And so, we went to Siena. There were a lot of students... "Do they now have classes on Saturdays as well?", I asked myself. Nope, they don't... the big banner replied to me.
It's Family Day!

Seeing my school again after so many years...I feel so reminiscent of my GS & HS days. Running in the lower quadrangle, playing hide & seek with my classmates. I even saw their Drum & Lyre club - haaayyy... How I miss those days when all I need to worry about is practicing the new piece we will be playing for the Field Demonstation. :) I really miss those days. I can't remember exactly when I last visited Siena, I am pretty sure that was sometime during my 1st year in college. Whoa! It's been almosyt 9 years already.

My teachers from HS were still there - I saw Ms. Tulaylay (my Filipino teacher in 3rd yr, whom I adored so much because the daily presentations we did for our class made me hone my skills in script writing, acting and directing haha - (yes, I did not pursue neither of those skills that I mentioned hehehe). I also saw Sir Rollon, my Chem teacher. He hasn't changed a bit. He still looks like Tom Hanks. :) Mrs. Paliza was also there. Just seeing her made me remember all the jokes our barkada had about her and the grammatical errors she made in our class (She was our 4th yr. English teacher by the way... and we learned a lot from her by identifying what was wrong in her sentence or pronunciation). I also saw Mrs. Jove (our 2nd yr adviser and T.H.E. teacher) and Ms. Grafilo (I think she has already retired and was just there to visit the other teachers). Ms. Grafilo was the moderator of our club (COMFES) and my 1st yr Filipino teacher. I wanted to see the other teachers, but we didn't stay too long as we need to go to Valenzuela.

I think I need to go back again... Just to see and chat with my teachers. The people who have helped me become who I am right now. Maybe I can sit in the white table where our barkada used to sit and see if our names are still there. He-he. :)

New Project
I am working on a new project right now. We are allowed to venture into other stuff once in a while - as long as it doesn't affect our work.

My latest project - Curtain Decor. It's a 3-man team - me, my mom and my aunt. I mentioned earlier that we bought curtains right... and now it's time to get our creative juices flowing and add some decorations in our curtains. Our ETC - end of February. The goal is to create a nice, fancy curtain that we can use for this year's fiesta.

OOO
Thanks to technology, my mom wakes me up for the past few days via text message. Ha-ha! And if after a few text messages and I am still not up, she calls me thru my cellphone. Nice huh! :) Same for today - I got a text message from her at 9am - "Cel, get up na. It's 9am - di ba me walk tayo?" - Uyy... text-savvy na si nanay.

Yup, this day is for mom & dad. It's their shopping day.

We went to Divisoria. My dad is planning to buy some cloth for his pants. My cousin is getting married on Feb 18, and my dad needs to have something like a brown slacks/pants to match the polo I bought for him. We were able to find the brown cloth, and bought a few more extra (in dark gray and blue). He also bought 2 maong shorts, some tools like pliers, long nose, etc... He already has a lot of those but he has been complaining for the past few days that someone borrowed some of his stuff and did not return it. :(

As for my mom, she bought the cloth that we will be using for our curtains. We bought 9 yards of cloth that will be used for the windows in our living room. We then bought some beads, sequinces and other decorative stuff that we can add to the curtain we have bought. :) She also bought some stuff for our house - from rags to decors. I never knew that we all share the same passion in shopping. Shopaholics united! We have been walking the streets of Divisoria and Quiapo for several hours already and I never heard any complaint from them. Did I mention that my mom is 64yrs old and dad is 67? My mom and dad goes to Quiapo everyday when I was still in G.S. & H.S. to accompany my grandmother in Quinta market. No wonder they are still strong... they are sooo used to a lot of walking.

I am glad I got to spend time with them doing one of my favorite things - Shopping! :)

nice one!
While waiting for my meeting, I browsed through my favorite blog sites... I saw this from a friend's blog site. I have tried it and it's sooo cool. :) Just wanted to share it here as well.

Thanks, Giffy :)

Reason Enough
Giff and I are running out of new songs in our iPod. So, we decided to go out and look for more songs (i mean, mp3s hehe) that we can load in our favorite gadget (as of the moment). We went to Goldcrest to look for the stall that sells mp3s but did not find any...we kept on looking until we reached Park Square 1 and the stores behind it. Eureka!!! And so the search for the ultimate compilation begins...

Tunog kalye 2005, DreamSounds, Referendum, 70's hits... and after browsing through a box of cds, I found what I have been looking for. The cd that most people would not have a copy yet. I don't think "Tiny" (you know - Tiny, from Pugad Baboy?) has downloaded songs similar to what this cd contains...

What CD? We bought Regine Velasquez's cd compilation hehehe... :)

And of all the songs in that cd, this is the one that keeps playing on my mind right now (para sa song hits ni yas)

Reason Enough


I made myself a promise some time ago
Never again to give my heart away
Fell in love with someone who left me in the end
The price of love was just too high to pay
I thought my life had ended, but you came along
And showed me how much brighter things could be
Now you see I've turned my back
On that promise that I made
Knowing that your love has set me free
REFRAIN:
(`Cause) You are reason enough for me to go on living
You are reason enough for me to smile again
In a world where hearts are broken
Every now and then
One finds reason enough to love
Like I've found reason enough in you to love again
So here I am, all caught up in this new found love
Feeling like I've never felt before
Putting my love on the line with you
And taking a chance again
I'm not afraid to love anymore
(Repeat Refrain)
In a world where hearts are broken
Every now and then
One finds reason enough to love
Like I've reason enough in you to love again

Wag nyo ako isusumbong kay Edu Manzano ha! :)

Bundy Clock
Most of the time I wear my earphones. Sometimes because I want to listen to the new songs I have, but most of the time to avoid being distracted and overhearing people's conversations. And today - I forgot to put on my earphones. I just wanted to share what I heard (hehe).

Starring...
Polgas as Boss X
Ambrosia as Team member 1

Polgas: Ummm, Ambrosia, anong oras ka dumating nung Huwebes?
Ambrosia: Ah, ano po?
Polgas: Di ka kasi nag-time in and time-out nung isang Huwebes, nung nakaraang linggo.
Ambrosia: Mga 9:20am po ata ako dumating nun. Anong oras nga ba ako umuwi? tsk..tsk..

Mukhang malapit na nga ang martial law ha! Makapag-earphones na nga ulit...
