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

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

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
