Whack Me!

If you don't feel one hundred percent on board for a new relationship, don't do it.

Are you ready for romance? That's not a silly question! Timing is everything when it comes to the art of love, and you need to feel one hundred percent on board for a new relationship. If it's not exactly what you want, then don't move forward with this person -- no matter how great they look on paper. If you are in a relationship right now, communicate what you are feeling in greater detail. Your sweetie might be acting on some incorrect assumptions.


Anubato?!?!?! How can somebody say this to me?!?!?!? Darn!!!! Hahaha!Ü

I remember ALou saying yesterday that she can smell romance even before it buds between the couple, but if that romance thingy is pointed to her direction, wala syang kamuwang-muwang. She should be whacked ON the head daw.

So, should I now be whacked too??? I feel I should. Darn! Poor me, clueless talaga. Laos. Panis. Hahaha!

Grabe, when it rains it pours talaga! Kulang na lang kalabugin ako ng mga panggising na clues and hints and panama! Hahaha!

Just this afternoon, Benj came to my office to input. Kwento-kwento, advice-advice... oh well, magaling talaga ako sa ganun -- mag-advise, pagdating sa kin mahirap pala mag-implement nung advice ko... warharharhar...

And just as I was writing this blog, a KFC commercial aired on the radio. Sabihin ba naman sa commercial, "Ngayong Pasko ay panahon kung kelan natin dapat sinasabi ang ating nararamdaman..." or something to that effect, basta, I know you get the idea. And yeah, I'd be dead before I do this. Raaar!

Salamat ha! Helpful, grabe!
Oh well, papel, kill me now before I change my mind.
Yan, ang bagal, I've changed it na. Hahaha!Ü
Whack me na lang. On the head. Please.Ü

PS. Just so you know, yeah, I get affected by you. Don't push it. I know you know. And gosh, that's soooo darn hard! Waaaaaaaa!!!!!

I'm ok now. Operative word: NOW.Ü

Meaningful Yuletide Season

From the many Christmas messages I received, two struck me most.

One came from Mylene, my choirmate.

It's Christmas already, are you happy?
Have you said sorry to the people you've hurt?
Have you expressed your thanks to those important to you?
Do these while there's still time.

I'll start...

SORRY if I caused you pain, whether unintentional or not.

THANK YOU for the love, respect and acceptance you've shown me.

A meaningful Christmas to you.


I sooooo love the second one. It was forwarded by my Mom. It was sent to her by Tito Paco.

I used to think that God's gifts were on shelves one ABOVE another, and the older we get and the taller we grow, the easier we can reach them. Now, I find that God's gifts are on shelves one BENEATH another, and the lower we stoop the more we get.

It is the good deeds we do, the kind words we speak, the love we give and the humility we show that help us stoop down to find our real treasures.


O di ba?!?!?! Ang ganda!
Loveit! Loveit! Loveit!

A merry meaningful holiday season to all of you!
I love you, guys!Ü

Light Of A Million Mornings

How does that feel???? Im curious to know... to rediscover... to rekindle... to re-ignite...

Senti mode? Yeah, I know! Hahaha! Oh well, that's where listening to Light Of A Million Mornings brought me.

I couldnt see the sunshine through the shadows

I couldnt seem to find a soul to care

And in my darkest hour you touch me with your power

And when i looked your light was everywhere

The light of the million mornings filled my heart

The sound of a million angels sung my song

The warmth of a love so tender touched my life

And suddenly the light of a million morning starts in me

I never tried to understand the sunrise

I know it takes away the dark

I can't explain your healing or all the joy I'm feeling

I only know you've come in to my heart

And now that your glory has come shining through

Let my life be a candle, Lord, that shines for you,

Shines for you, shines for you.

WOW! Ibang level.

Imagine being overwhelmed by the light of the million mornings filling your heart, the sound of a million angels singing your song and the warmth of a love so tenderly touching your life?

Truly, the light of a million morning suddenly starts in you.

Amazing.

Volleyball Pa Rin Ang Awit Ng Puso Ko

What can I do? Volleyball is still so much in my life. It's just soooo sad that I don't get to play anymore (dahil walang akong kalaro! hahaha! hint hint!), but I still watch games. Same excitement and adrenaline rush! Panalo!


After going to Cardinal yesterday, I had the chance to meetup with Winnie and Mike for the FINAL AND DECIDING GAME of the V-League Championships.

UST VS. SSCR

The best 'to! It's like UAAP vs. NCAA! Woot! Woot! Woot!

Before I continue, bigyang-pugay muna natin and SSC! Nice game, girls! As in! You had all of us gasping for air, clenching our fists and hanging on to the edge of our seats! Bow ako sa inyo! And of course, SSC's not as we know it if Jaroensri Bualee is not there! Galing mo, girl!Ü

Hataw kung hataw! =) Loveit!


Presenting the girls whom I've come to love, worship and adore this V-League season! Ang galing n'yo mga dudes!

Did I mention that if SSC has Bualee, UST has Venus Bernal?!?!?!? OMG! She's amazing! Her spikes are so powerful kung hindi baon, in your face! Hahaha! =) Idol ka, idol!

Look at her form -- perfect! MVP material indeed!Ü

Oh by the way, this was a winning spike. Hehehe hindi naman... isa lang ' to sa napakaraming spikes na napako nya sa court!

Just wanted to capture the winning moment! Wahaha!Ü

Oh well, the banner says it all.Ü Tssss, yabang!Ü All I can say is... oh well papel... nyahahaha!Ü

ONE FOR UST!Ü

The volleyball addicts, avid fans and loudest cheerers Mike, Winnie and Me!Ü


I love our seats! Best seats, mga pare! We can see all the action and nobody gets mad at us for standing up (while cheering and ratting out bad calls) kasi wala tayong kalikod! Loveit! But most of all, loooove the game dudes!

GO USTEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!ÜÜÜ

Take Me As I Am

In my life, I never tried to impress people for them to like me. Because when I do, I will have to keep that image for the rest of my life and it's hard to pretend to be someone I'm not.

I may not be that close to perfection like other people are. But who cares? It's not them whom I live for anyway. What matters is I know myself and I know how I am inside and out. I know I am worth it.

THIS IS ME. TAKE ME AS I AM.

And as what they say,

IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE MY WORST,
THEN YOU DON'T DESERVE MY BEST.



Wow. Love this Leo, thanks!Ü

Magorium Wisdom

Mr. Magorium's Magic Emporium is a fun movie. Super pambata pero it unleashes the child within every viewer. Markie and I loved it!

Sana nga merong Magic Emporium dito! I'd love to be the store manager! Hehe.Ü

Mr. Magorium's words to Molly Mahoney:
"Life is a occasion, rise to it."

Why not! Fabulous line!Ü Think of it... oo nga naman diba?

Gusto ko din yung part where Molly realized that magic doesn't come elsewhere. It comes from within you. Everything is magical, as long as you believe that it is.Ü

I also adore Eric Applebaum's hat collection! Loveit loveit loveit!Ü

Heart For Sale

HEART FOR SALE

Who wants to buy my heart?

I'm having it for sale.

Though it's only second hand, still it functions very well.

Cause once I sold it whole but it was returned in pieces.

Now I had it all repaired so I'm back in business.

Who wants to buy my heart?

Satisfaction guaranteed.

It has free service charge and a lifetime warranty.

So if you're asking for the price...

Well, you're in for a bargain!

IT ONLY COSTS LOVE.Ü

Aaaawwww... ang sweet noh? Eto na naman ako... keso! keso! keso! hahaha!Ü

Captivated By Enchanted

Last Monday I watched Enchanted with Ghem, Allan, Nath and Mike.

ANG FUUUUN!!!!! Cutesie-patootsie but still! Aliw talaga! Feel good movie! Watchit watchit watchit!Ü

TIP: Perfect date flick kung sweetie pie yung girl. But if she's stiff, don't bring her there! Away lang yan! Hahaha!Ü

I soooooo love the song played during the ball... dreamy na naman ako! Wahaha!Ü I was still up in Cloud 9 when I watched this! Hay managinip daw ba ako nang gising! Hahaha! =P

SO CLOSE (Jon McLaughlin)

You’re in my arms

And all the world is calm

The music playing on for only two

So close together

And when I’m with you

So close to feeling alive

A life goes by

Romantic dreams will stop

So I bid mine goodbye and never knew

So close was waiting, waiting here with you

And now forever I know

All that I wanted to hold you

So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end

Almost believing this was not pretend

And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come

So far we are so close

How could I face the faceless days

If I should lose you now?

We’re so close

To reaching that famous happy end

And almost believing this was not pretend

Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are

So close

So close

And still so far

Aaaawwwwww... amazing di ba?!?!?!?! Wala lang... oh well, maybe it's just me. It usually is. Hahaha!Ü


PS. I adore Giselle's blue dress! Hehe. =P

Don't Buy Me Love

Now that Christmas is fast approaching, I better blog about this...

I just read this from a Yahoo article. Cut off most of the parts. Just retained those which I know would kick some sense into friends. Hehehe.Ü

For a lot of men, emotional language simply isn't something they're entirely fluent in. And like any traveler in a foreign land, men often look for simple ways to translate what they're trying to say into a lexicon that's more familiar and comfortable.

Language of physical contact - what a man can't express verbally, he expresses physically
Language of frequency - lots of phone calls and emails
Language of currency - they communicate love by throwing money at it

Unfortunately, a man expressing affection with money can lead to a woman feeling like she's being seen as a commodity, not an individual. It's a tricky balancing act for the guy.

My heart goes out to the guys whose language is currency. You should be very wary. There's a very fine line between investing on your special someone and trying to buy her off.

Difficult I know, lalo na if you want to show off. Just keep in mind: Money shouldn't ever do the work of relationship building; your words and your silence ought to do that.Ü

Hope this helps.Ü

B.I.L.

Ang galing mo, Kuya Jess! You're really really amazing...

Last Fri to Sun was Reedley's very first DWTL weekend. Yep, you read it right. Batch 1. I'm still awed and amazed how this weekend was so magical. I don't know how to share it. Just believe me when I say magical talaga. AS IN!

When I think of the 14 participants, I remember my Yuppie Batch, the 29ers.Ü They're as close... as sweet... as open... as honest... as sincere... as fervent in their prayers... as gulo and definitely as kulet! Ang galing! Hahaha!Ü

Basta, when we see each other I'll tell you about them... you may not feel how I felt those times... but look into my eyes when I tell the stories, you'll see sheer amazement.Ü

I have one story to share here... it's not about them, it's about me...

Friday night I went to the prayer room, naka-repose na si Jess. Sabi ko kay Jess gisingin ko muna sya, so I exposed Him again. There in the dark, with just two lit candles, I poured my heart out. As in poured it out talaga. Sabi ko Jess bigay mo naman wish ko... yun lang talaga prayer ko for now eh... yung lang talaga gusto ko... And I did something that I NEVER EVER dared to do before. (I might have been inspired by the Chocolate War's Do I dare disturb the universe? hehe...) I made a deal with God. I dared Him. I tested Kuya Jess. I asked for a sign from Him. If He gives me that sign, that means something. Kapag walang sign, wala ding something. Usually, when I do this, malaki yung chance na mangyayari yung 1st premise. Semi-sure win kumbaga. Madaya, I know. There was just something in me that night that made me dare, really dare, to make a deal kahit na alam kong there's such a high probability that it will not happen. Na alam ko pag hindi nangyari yun, cry to death talaga ako. Antapang ko di ba? Pero wala, I just have to test Him. Actually, now that I think of it more, it's not Him I tested, I tested myself, how much I trust Him, how much guts I have to surrender my fate and my life into His hands, to let go and let God.

(I wouldn't tell the details here... for selected ears lang eh... hahaha! Baka sumabit ako...Ü)

You know what?!?!?!?!? Before the weekend came to a close, IT HAPPENED!!!! Ang galing!Ü Hanggang batok talaga ngiti ko nun! Hahaha!Ü Ambait mo sa 'kin Jess! Ang lakas ko sa 'yo!Ü

But Jess still teased me... you really confuse me sometimes, Jess... I asked for that and he gave me ONLY that talaga... wala man lang pa-extra kahit konti! Hahaha! Di ko alam if you were just again testing me... malamang oo.Ü

I cried during the last staffer's disco... sabi ko totoo ba 'yun? sign ba talaga yun? Baka kasi hindi eh... parang hindi naman talaga... but it's there, while crying again, that I realized BINIGAY MO NGA YUNG WISH KO. YOU ANSWERED MY VERY PRAYER. Parang I can imagine You making face and saying, di ka naman naging specific sa prayer mo eh... wala naman yung iniiyak mo sa wish mo... I answered what you asked from me... what your heart desired... why are you still crying??? Tapos iiling-iling ka sa kalulitan ko... hahaha!Ü

I LOVE YOU JESS!Ü YOU'RE THE BEST TALAGA!Ü
Kahit pagod na ako... kahit puyat or walang tulog... when You call, I'll be there...

BASTA IKAW!Ü


PS. You're my answered prayer. I hope I can tell you that.Ü

Top, Baby! Yeah!

Reiteration

You are a very generous person -- to a fault. Today, you need to protect yourself.

You are a very generous person -- to a fault, sometimes. There are some new people in your life right now who could be angling to take advantage of the fact that you tend to think of the needs of others before you consider your own needs. Today, you need to protect yourself. Switch around your priority list to focus more on giving yourself what you need (and keeping what you have). Conservation is a big long word for hanging on to what you've worked so hard for.


Conservation pa din... tsk tsk tsk... water pwede?

A Gastos Reminder

A friendly, and I must say, utterly timely reminder FOR ME on sweldo day... hahaha!Ü

Conservation should be a big priority for you right now -- don't waste anything.

Conservation should be a big priority for you right now -- be careful not to waste any of your time or money. Keep an eye on other resources that cannot be easily replaced. The only thing you can (and should) give freely is your affection. Show the people in your life how much you care about them with an extra firm hug, an earnest handshake, or maybe even a quick peck on the cheek. Words can convey your feelings, but there is nothing like contact to make a connection.


Can someone help me save? DARN! Magastos talaga ako... I KNOW RIGHT??? Hahaha!ÜÜÜ

Calling all Kings and Queens of Thrift, come to my rescue! Watchevers! **bleh**

Panalo!

Just received two of my favorite forwarded text messages yesterday... oh well, technically speaking, the other one I received kaninang madaling araw...

Number 1: From Mylene (thanks mare, this made me laugh so hard!Ü)

What's in the number 7?
Why is it God's perfect number when in fact 7 is an odd number?
Just think...
There are 7 days in a week...
7 wonders of the world...
In the Bible you must forgive a person 70 x 7...
Even the word FORGIVE has 7 letters...
The rainbow has 7 colors and the word RAINBOW has 7 letters too...
Even the word PROMISE...
Maybe God designed it, for even the word MYSTERY has 7 letters...

and now use OLAY TOTAL EFFECTS to fight the 7 signs of skin aging...

-- Inday, applying as an endorser for Olay

HAHAHA!!!! =)

On to the next one...

Number two: From Leo (can relate, dude! can relate!Ü)

Para sa mga tumataba, hirit ng may crush sa kanila:
"Alam mo tumataba ka...

Bumibilog...

Unti-unti kang nagiging...

... mundo ko!"

Yan naman eh! Da best!Ü
Can relate... can relate talaga... major! Hahaha!Ü

Thanks Leo & Mylene, loveit loveit loveit!!!Ü

Geographically Desirable

Everybody can make anybody desirable or undesirable in their eyes.

To some (most nga yata eh hahaha!), I am geographically undesirable because I live in Quezon City... Fairview at that! Oh well, that's for them... ako ok lang!Ü The best nga sa Fairview eh! Hahaha! =)

Anyway, here's a line that I read somewhere that got me to blog about distance and all...

Geography has nothing to do with closeness, when it comes to emotions.

O diba? Whether they live near you or not, it doesn't really matter. *wink wink*

So Ate Pam, if somebody says you're geographically undesirable, sagutin mo sya ng "at least ako geographically lang, eh ikaw -- holistically!" Ewan ko lang kung di matauhan yun! Hahahaha!Ü

Changing Lives

To Reedley people: THIS IS WHO WE ARE. This is a testimony of how great we are and how much we accomplish if we work together. As academicians, we have the power to changes lives. Really.
To non-Reedley people: Read and be inspired.ÜÜÜ

Sir Emil, thanks for sending this. WOW! Wala akong ibang masabi kundi wow. I really, really, really want to hug Pat and the Mom! =)


Testimony of Mrs. Jenny M. Villegas
September 18, 2007

As a new student, my daughter Patricia Ysabel has adjusted quite remarkably in Reedley International School (RIS) coming from a big school.

Self-actualization is one of the core values of RIS. During the initial interview, Pat was told that the school strives to recognize each student's capacity for learning – in simple terms “ You may not be an Einstein, but you may be a Shakespeare.” My daughter was happy to know this. She felt that she will “bloom” in RIS. She was then very certain of her resolve to make that leap of faith and embrace change. I was glad that we both did.

During the 1st Quarter Academic Awards for this school year, Pat received gold and silver subject excellence awards. She is one of only four in the grade level to have received the most elusive Deportment Award. She is also a class officer.

The school system, class structure, and course outlines are clear-cut, organized and consistent. Teaching and learning methods are extensive and global in nature, creative and dynamic. Students are encouraged to be creative and dynamic. Students are encouraged to be CRITICAL THINKERS and PROBLEM SOLVERS with the open and free discussions in class, skills that are essential in life later on.

Someone from the family noted recently that Pat has this certain “sophistication” in the tone of her voice. I give the credit to RIS whose views on its ideal graduate run parallel to the very skills I profess to my daughter, to prepare her in MIND, HEART and SPIRIT. She has become more independent, confident, more outspoken and courageous. She is always early in school and doesn't like it when classes are suspended!

I have witnessed utmost professionalism in every single member of the RIS from top to bottom. For the teachers in RIS speak with authority but are not overbearing. They are very cordial to the students but draw respect from them as well. The school's administrators are always accommodating and they make it their business to know each child and his/her parents.

Kindness is simmered down through the faculty, staff, receptionist, security officers and every person in RIS; more so imbibed in the students' lives as inscribed in its walls.

When my Patricia saw all the happy faces of the RIS students in the film clip during the Parent’s Orientation, I remember what she said to me when we got home, “Mom, I want to be happy like those kids in Reedley.” And for me, that is what counts for there is NOT A DAY that Pat isn't happy when she is in REEDLEY. Everyone in the family has never seen her this happy. Indeed, PAT has found her second home.


Aint that heart-warming???? WOW TALAGA.

Mrs. Villegas, it's parents like you and students like Pat who make our efforts to make things better for the Reedley Family easy, worthwhile and accomplishing. This article surely have touched all our hearts. We're eternally grateful.Ü

Ultimate Weakness

For over a month I've been searching for this song I heard on the radio. I was only able to record a snippet of the song tapos patapos pa nung na-record ko! Waaaaa! I've been asking around what the song is pero dahil hindi ko makanta and hindi ko man lang natandaan yung lyrics, GOODLUCK NAMAN! Hahaha! All I remember was what the song's about... buti na lang last Sunday DJ was able to help me out! And buti na lang din si Raffy meron nung song sa phone nya! Actually, yun na nga yung hula ko... pero sabi ko parang hindi eh... but when I listened to it and heard the first line... OO YUN NGA YUN!!!!!!!!! YUN NGA!!!!!! YUN NGAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! Happy! Weeeeeeeeee!Ü

Oh well, here it is...

Ngiti (Ronnie Liang)

Minamasdan kita nang hindi mo alam

Pinapangarap kong ikaw ay akin

Mapupulang labi at matinkad mong ngiti

Umaabot hanggang sa langit
Huwag ka lang titingin sa akin

At baka matunaw ang puso kong sabik

Sa iyong ngiti ako'y nahuhumaling

At sa tuwing ikaw ay gagalaw ang mundo ko'y tumitigil

Para lang sayo ang awit ng aking puso

Sana'y mapansin mo rin ang lihim kong pagtingin

Minamahal kita ng di mo alam

Huwag ka sanang magagalit

Tinamaan yata talaga ang aking puso

Na dati akala ko'y manhid
Hindi pa rin makalapit

Inuunahan ng kaba sa aking dibdib

Sa iyong ngiti ako'y nahuhumaling

At sa tuwing ikaw ay lalapit ang mundo ko'y tumitigil

Ang pangalan mo sinisigaw ng puso

Sana'y madama mo rin ang lihim kong pagtingin

Sa iyong ngiti ako'y nahuhumaling

(Sa iyong ngiti)

Sa tuwing ikaw ay gagalaw ang mundo ko'y tumitigil

Para lang sa'yo...

(Para lang sa'yo ang awit ng aking puso)

Sana ay mapansin mo rin...

Ang lihim kong pagtingin

Sa iyong ngiti...

Loveit! Loveit! Loveit!
Oh well, my heart that has a weakness for sweet smiles...
Hay hay hay...
Shhhhh secret ko lang yun... *wink*

Btw, get the song here.Ü

PS. I still have this silly grin plastered on my face! Wahaha! =P

Bagong Boyfriend

Another blogthing... hahaha! =) Oh yeah, the title got me interested...

Maybe you need a bit more time to get over an ex Or maybe you need a confidence boost to talk to new guys Either way, you'll find a boyfriend in time... As long as you keep getting out there and meeting new guys

Got Brains???

Your Brain is 73% Female, 27% Male

Your brain leans female You think with your heart, not your head Sweet and considerate, you are a giver But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

What Gender Is Your Brain?

Why not poknat! Hahaha!!! =) Loveit! Bat kaya hindi 100% female??? Wahaha... actually I feared na hundred percent talaga! Male! Harhar! =) Try it!

Napagod Na Lang

Di na kita nahintay kase napapagod na ako. Ayoko na masaktan kaya ayoko na umasa. I'll try to move on pero babagalan ko, para kung sakali mahabol mo pa ako...

Haaaaay... anubaitung quote na ituw?!?!?!?

DAAAAAAAARN!

I didn't take myself for a quitter, pero mukhang malapit na.
I know, it's for my own good.
And I'm sure, I can still smile through the tears.
Kaya pa naman punasin ng kamay ko heller!!!Ü

And yeah, hindi pa naman nauubos ang beach and ice cream sa mundo.Ü

Bitchology

Not sure if I was able to post this before... just chanced upon it again last night... oh yeah, hell, it's fun to be one! Hahaha! =P


When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch.
When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts, or do things my own way, they call me a bitch.

Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart.
It means I live MY LIFE MY WAY.
It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.

When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined as a bitch.
The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone's maid.
It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be.

I am outspoken, opinionated and determined.
I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!

So try to stomp on me,
try to douse my inner flame,
try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me.
You won't succeed.

And if that makes me a bitch, SO BE IT.
I embrace the title and I am proud to bear it!!!!


Oh well, ganun talaga... walang gamot sa taong insecure...
lalo na pag insecure sa /ba-atch na tulad ko... nyahahaha!Ü

Danger Of A Movie Rerun Weekend

I had a movie rerun weekend. A romance movie rerun weekend. Darn!

The danger of it? It makes you so reflective of your current uhmmm well... status. Baaaaad. Tsk tsk tsk. Hahahaha!

One of the movies I watched was How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. It still made me cry! Pathetic! Hahaha! Oh well, walang pakialamanan, yun yung trip ko eh! =P Hahaha!

I still love the line, "You can never lose what you never had..." Aray! Sabi ko nga di ba? Hahaha!Ü

And I still love the songs in that movie. The one I love most? Feels Like Home. Sing it if you know... hum the tune in your mind... feel the lyrics in your heart... Aaaaawwwwww...

Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself

Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms

There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast

Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been

And how long I've been so alone

And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along

And change my life the way you've done
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me

It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me

It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
A window breaks, down a long, dark street

And a siren wails in the night

But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me

And I can almost see, through the dark there is light
Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me

And how long I've waited for your touch

And if you knew how happy you are making me

I never thought that I'd love anyone so much
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me

It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me

It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

Beautiful. Just beautiful.
And yeah, sapol.
Sagad to the bones. =D

He said, "Reich, guard your heart. Wag mong ibigay until sure kang aalagaan nya."

Kuya?!?!?! Why not?!?!?! Hehehe... Ayos di ba?Ü

This goes for everybody. Baka may mga magising dyan sa tabi-tabi pag nabasa 'to. Hahaha!

Thanks, dude!Ü

Your flirty side may not feel like coming out today, but others are flirting away!

The flirty side of you may not feel like coming out in full force today, but that won't stop people from tossing some sweet talk your way! And by the middle of the day, when you're wondering what the heck has gotten in to people, you yourself might start to feel like giving a cute stranger a smile or starting some small talk with an interesting looking person. The positive attention that other people will be giving you will be just the ticket you needed to get a new attitude going.

A go signal to flirt away?!?!?!?! Hahahaha!!! Ako yata yung sinasabi ni Leo na pathological flirt! Hahaha!

TARA!! GOOOO!!!! Hahaha!Ü

Sabi Ko Nga Kuya Eh...

Froilan: ok lang kung lampa, basta merong effort, and merong window for improvement
Rachelle: di rin... wehehe
F: ganun ba?
F: well, you will never be happy with your partner then. kc hanp mo perfect, while you will never find a perfect man
F: tama naman ako eh, wala naman talagang taong perfect
F: find someone who will build you up
F: and make sure lang na kaya mo rin sya build up
F: and thats what you call companionship


WOW!Ü Nakaimik ba ako pagkatapos nito??? Syempre hindi! Wala, panis talaga ako sa yo! Hehehe.Ü Iba talaga powers mo, Kuya Froi! Tiklop ako. NO DOUBT! =P

Indulge! Now Na!

Do something for yourself today, and try to do it without feeling any guilt!

Do something for yourself today, and try to do it without letting yourself feel even an ounce of guilt! Sure, the time you spend taking a nap, shopping for a new pair of shoes, enjoying a leisurely lunch, or indulging in a massage could be better used listening to a friend's current troubles, helping them with a tough task or cheering them on, but so what? All of those things can wait for another day. No one will feel abandoned or let down if you take care of yourself.

ICE CREAM TONIGHT!!!!! Beach sana pero hello goodluck naman! Hahaha!Ü

I'll meetup up with Jojai and Niño later at Tiendesitas for ice cream. There's a cute ice cream parlor there sabi ni Jai. Exciteeeed!!!!! Weeeeee!!!!!Ü

Anybody up for ice cream tonight???? LET'S GO!!!!!!Ü

Ahhhhh, heaven!Ü

Talk About Effort

People know they can count on you, which is why you will be called upon to help out.

Your healthy confidence has been sending a message to people, and it is one of reliability. People know they can count on you, which is why you can expect to be called upon to step up and step in to be of service. There are missing pieces only you can provide that will save the day and make you a (very popular) star. Get excited, because there are many fun little projects coming up ... being active today should be perfect preparation for the coming weeks.

Coming weeks??? Or should we say weekend??? Hahaha!Ü

Oh well, may magagawa ba... wehehehe... more effort talaga! Kamusta ka naman sa panliligaw, Jai! Kamusta ka naman sa pagiging nanay, Leo? Myra and the rest of the girls, kamusta? Keri ba? Kering-keri!!! Hahahaha!

Can't wait! See y'all on the weekend! =D

Ang Sabi Ni Kuya

Today, this Friday afternoon, when I was dying for ice cream... No, I didn't get any ice cream... instead I got words of wisdom to feed my heart and mind.Ü

Froilan: di halata na type mo sya. hahahaha
Rachelle: hahahahahaha!!!!
R: salamat ha!
R: sya rin naman di ba?
R: o panaginip ko lang yun...

F: hintay ka lang, one day, meron din manliligaw sa yo (meron naman... baka you mean, makakatuluyan... anuba kuyaaaaa!!!! hahaha! =D)
F: maybe someone better pa.
R: hehehe
F: just be yourself
R: yeah, i know...
R: thanks...
F: and wag ka rin suplada sa kahit kaninong guy, kahit pangit, kahit bad breath
R: hehehehe...
R: di pa ko suplada sa totoong buhay?
F: minsan mukang palaka, pero prince charming naman pala in the making
R: hehehehe...
R: love that!
F: remember, its better to love and hurt than to never love at all

**some parts were cut to save face... hahaha!**

Thanks for this conversation, Kuya Froi. AS IN.Ü Yeah I know... no worries, my heart would heal.Ü Glad to have a Kuya like you. You always pull me back to earth when I go to infinity and sometimes even beyond. Hehe.Ü

Note to self: Rachelle, wag kang gaga, wag kang tanga. Hindi ka naman talaga ganun.
Reply to self: OH HELL YEAH! Hello?!?!?! Let's rock it!ÜÜÜ

What's New? Oh That!

You're feeling very indecisive about everything right now, so just go with your gut.

An invitation will come your way from completely out of the blue today, and it will probably throw you for quite a loop. Figuring out whether or not to accept it shouldn't take a long time to do, but it will. You're feeling very indecisive about everything right now, even with a no-brainer like this. Time is dwindling away, and every moment you take deliberating is a moment you'll never get back. So act fast and go with you gut -- you won't regret whatever happens.


WOW! And you're telling me I'm indecisive. How right you are! Hahaha!Ü

Indecisiveness strikes me at three levels. Yep, thur-ree. Uhhmmm not sure if there are only three. But I can only think of three right now. So I declare! Three! Hahaha.

One, where to eat. ALMOST EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS.
Two, where to go.
Three, what to wear.

Petty things I know. But still, I'm indecisive about them. Pag wala ako sa mood mag-isip, di talaga ako mag-e-effort. It would take me forever to haul an answer. Harhar. Goodluck kung ang kasama ko ay indecisive din! Ehem to Boo and Stage FX people. Sorry, just had to mention you guys. Hehe.

Oh well, indecisive daw ako today. So what. =P

Your Name, Does It Fit You?

I'm sure mine does! Yeah right! Feeler! =P Hahahaha!Ü

Seems Not

You've solved the issues around your home. It's time to rejoin the outside world.

You have been dealing with a lot of issues in and around your home so effectively that today it looks like things are totally under control and capable of doing just fine without you. So it's time to shift your focus away from family and toward a partnership in another context of your life. It could be a coworker, a friend, or a romantic interest, but someone else needs your attention today. So keep your eyes and ears open. They'll let you know when they want to talk.


Uhmmm... I don't think so. Cried myself to sleep last night. Hopefully all will be better soon.

Thank you. You know who you are. You're really an angel. >:D<

But yeah, my eyes, my ears and my heart are always open to those who need me. I'll be there always... always.Ü

Reality Check

Big changes are entering your mind right now -- your subconscious is thinking up things to explore. It's natural that a career change is on that list, but be careful not to assume that just because you're changing your career that the new one will be bigger and better. Different monotony is still monotony, no matter what the new title may be. When you're contemplating change, it's important to factor a healthy dose of reality in with all of your wishful thinking.


NOPE. NOT PLANNING TO CHANGE WORK AT ALL. NA-UH.ÜÜÜ

I just loooooove the last line. Sabi ko nga eh!

Planning to make this my mantra. Raaar, goodluck!

I'm sure the ones who know where my life is right now are laughing their asses off. Darn you guys! Hahahaha!Ü
