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.
About Me
Name: celgee Home: Philippines About Me: just read through my entries and you'll get to know me :) See my complete profile
Soapdish : The album that is currently playing on my iPod. I think this album was launched late last year based on the review I read. What got me interested in their songs? Well, I was in the gym last Sunday, and I just heard one of their songs - "Pwede ba?". It was my first time to hear that song, and I immediately loved it. Why? Because of the lyrics. A song full of requests for the other person - to say that he/she will keep the letters you sent. - to say that he/she will wait for you - to know that you are also having a hard time waiting, just like him/her
Haaayyy... All their songs are quite sad - hidden love, falling out of love, being away from the person you love and waiting...
It's not easy to wait you see, I know, because I am still in the office, waiting (for my meeting).hehehe...
I was at REVFlex this morning. Guess what? It's my 8th session already. :) Just 4 more sessions, and I will reach my goal. (My goal is 12 sessions from March 3 to April 3). Just a few more days, and I'll hit the weighing scale again. :)
Just when you least expect it, sometimes things that you have wished for knocks on your door, and when it does - you can't really decide immediately if you still want it now.
I am having a hard time thinking of what to do next with my life. I am currently standing in a crossroad, where I have two options: take on a bigger challenge, pursue my career (but endure not seeing the people I love for a year) OR see what other opportunities await me, explore the other things I can do, and enjoy life with my love ones. Simply put -- Should I stay or should I go?
Just to be clear..NO, I am not getting out the pond yet. The opportunities I am talking about is still within the company where I work. I am just hesitant to leave for a year... I am worried about not being able to spend time with my parents, bf, relatives and friends. I value every moment I spend with them... anything can happen and as much as possible I want to make every second count. What now? Hmmm... Am I ready to sacrifice all this? Can I? I think so. HE won't give me something I couldn't handle.
Habitat for Humanity. It is my first time to participate in this cause. After signing the waiver, I immediately started to think of what I can contribute for the house construction. Hmmm... I think I can help digging for the foundation, paint some walls, mix some cement. I am so excited to start the work.
When we got to the site, which by the way is around an hour and a half travel from our place, we already felt the hot sun and how hard things will be. Before embarking the challenging tasks we are about to take, we prayed for the safety of everyone who are working and staying in the Rizal site.
It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. It was tough, and with heat of the sun hitting our backs...It made things more challenging. We started by transferring hollow blocks to the building site. Then, we tried digging & shoveling for the 60cm deep foundation. And then we went to another area where we helped by transferring the gravel-sand-cement mix. It was heavy, especially if we carrying a whole bucket of the mix to a not-so-near place. So, the girls decided to form a line and transfer the bucket from one person to another... Yup, this the 'Bayanihan' in the habitat. :)
It was a fun and fulfilling day. I got a chance to be part of a good cause, spend more time with my friends from work and get a free workout! :)
Current LSS : "More energy, more happy... Anong meron ang taong happy?..."
And that is the only part I know... I want to know the lyrics or the actual phrases used in the commercial for this. Why? No special reason... Just wanted to tease my teammates... for example: "Anong meron ang taong happy?" Patrick San Miguel, from blah blah blah... (parang yung intro for Ceasar Montano or Winnie Cordero)
So, I went to Google to find the lyrics for this jingle.. and guess what I found.. more blogs that mentioned or talked about this... and this one's funny.
"Endorphins are hormones secreted by the pituitary gland in response to physical stress. These hormones are known to block pain, decrease appetite, decrease anxiety and induce feelings of euphoria.
During a long run, some runners gradually lose the ability to feel pain and experience a thrill as their bodies are filled with exhilarating energy. This is called a "runner's high." Some believe "runner's high" is caused by the surge of endorphins distance runners feel during a difficult workout. Research shows that the better physically fit an athlete, the more receptive the athlete is to endorphins. And as intensity and duration of exercise increase, the concentration of endorphins released also increases. This indicates that endorphins enhance mood may be responsible for an athlete's elevated mood during and after a workout. Those who have participated in intense physically exerting sports will admit to the feelings of euphoria, increased pain tolerance and decreased appetite that accompany this exercise.
They will usually admit to feeling addicted to their sport. Most of these athletes readily accept the addiction theory because they have experienced its effects first-hand. Although more research is in order to confirm that endorphins are responsible for these effects, there is strong evidence to suggest that exercise addicts are truly, physically addicted to their exercise.

I have always envied the thin and sexy girls I see in magazines. I am starting to gain weight again after I got back from Shanghai, and I really want to be thin again. (I can't fit into the jeans I used to wear there anymore) :(
It's almost summer time, and I'd want to be able to wear my swimsuit comfortably and confidently. (I don't want to hide behind the t-shirts and shorts anymore)
And most of all, bragging rights sa aking boyfriend at mga makukulit kong friends hehehe.
*3rd session ko pa lang kanina, and my goal is to be able to have at least 12 sessions before April 3.
Sometimes during our lunch break, my teammates and I would go to Tower Records to check the latest hits. Today, we decided to go to the OPM section. Our eyes feasted on the not-so-famous and totally forgettable artists. And since I have my handy cellphone with me, I decided to take some pictures of the album covers that amused me. :)
(10) Kailangan ba na kapag nakipagbreak sa bf e me album na kaagad? And so what if she's moving on... ano na naman to? a compilation of heart break songs. Yes, Emote na emote.. hehehehe.
(9) Destiny? So, is she destined to be a a star? Hmmm.. I don't know (her!). And in an attempt to make the album affordable, aba hindi na nila nilagay sa plastic na case. Nasa paper case na lang sya...katulad ng mga pirated cds na nakikita ko along parksquare pag papunta na ako sa terminal ng fx.
(8) Kailangan ba talaga na half-naked sya? Kala ko ba undercovers ang title ng album nya? Sana dun na lang sya sa ilalim ng kumot, di ba?
(7) Kala ko nung una si Wowee De guzman to'... Sino na naman to'? parang nagpatahi pa sya ng polo para sa photo shoot ng album nya. Aakalain mong kundiman ang mga kanta nito e, pano ba naman masyadong bulaklakin ang polo nya noh?
(6) Uy, si Danica me album. Huh? Ang ganda... parang sinabunutan. Sa biglang tingin yung shiny pink lips lang ang mapapansin mo sa cd na to e'.
(5) Banares Brothers. Ang cute nila noh...ginawan pa nila ng cd yung nanay nila. Enough na yung gumawa sila ng cd at binigay nila sa nanay nila e. Bakit kailangan pang ibenta sa iba? Di ko talaga lubos na maunawaan ito. Ang babata pa, ang kakapal na ng make-up! Tsk.tsk..
(4) Ganda ng lola mo! Akalain mo nga naman. Punong puno ng alahas ang lola mo, parang galing Saudi!
(3) Kala ko me album na si Mel Feliciano e.. ibang Mel pala ito. Si Mel.. The Singing Soldier. Hmmm... So, ganun. Feeling nila unique yun. E kung gumawa din ako ng (photo) album -- Celgee the singing programmer.
(2) Si Papa Jimboy din pala nagka-album... kelan kaya ito? Before o after ng relasyon nila ni Mahal. Masyadong plain ang title.. tipong "Jimboy, moving on" or "Dahil MAHAL kita: A tribute"... hahahaha.
(1) Syempre save the best for last. Oo AT hindi??? Parang mali? Pilipino naman sila... wrong grammar pa. Hay. Uy, Close-up smile, pustiso naman. (sa unang tingin nga, napagkamalan pa ng officemate ko na si Sam Milby daw yung nasa cover...) hahaha... take note, "Includes the Hit songs: Mahal mo pa ba ako * Oo at Hindi * Pogi Naman Ako".
So, what are you waiting for? Bili na sa inyong suking tindahan...
* Special thanks to Tower Records for the allowing me to take pictures of these beloved album covers. ;)
