Perpetual Mistake

After a few days of doing everything for everyone else, do something for yourself.

After a few days of doing everything for everyone else, why not do something for yourself today? You could do something as major as book a day at the spa, but you don't have to go to quite that level of expense to get the emotional recharge you need. Simply finding an hour to two to spend on your own in a quiet corner might be all it takes to put yourself back in the center of your life priorities -- right where you belong. Do not lose yourself in the lives of others. You are still number one.

A-G-A-I-N: Do not lose yourself in the lives of others.

Haaaaay, that's what I always forget. Losing myself in the lives of others has always been my mistake. Never learned. Never know if I ever will.

Oh well papel.Ü

They're Back On The Block

New Kids On The Block!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! **super panatikong tili yan!Ü**

Yahoo's been sticking its 10-foot stick on me lately. Brad Renfro, Heath Ledger, then this. At least it's not about somebody's demise. Good good.



NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK ON A COMEBACK!!!

Talaga?!?!?!?! Yahoooooooo!!!!

But after reading the article, parang hindi... haaaaay... pero sana OO!!!!Ü


I know I can hear some of you groan. I don't care! If they are indeed on to a reunion chevers, I'm bringing out my pompoms for a grand hurraaaaaaah!


Calling on, Chinka and Patty Abes!!! Let's roll out the red carpet and distribute party poppers!!!

Oh yeah, did I tell you? I sang Please Don't Go Girl and Step By Step on the karaoke last New Year. Baka narinig nila ako that's why they decided to have a comeback... Watchathink huh?

Yeah right, Reich! Bleh!

Oh well, kayo naman... baka lang.Ü Wehehehe.Ü

Gone is Heath Ledger

For lack of a better title because of shock, here:



I opened a new browser window then there! That's what I saw!

HEATH LEDGER'S DEAD.

Three letters: OMG!

First Brad Renfro, then him.

Speechless. This rarely happens.

Crystal and Iris: My Perfect Mini-Vacation

Yesterday afternoon, Crystal and Iris of Lower School 4 went to my office. I think they're actually looking for Lala... but since it's my door that they have to pass before getting to Lala's, they stood there, happily and crazily waving their arms, saying in their sweet little voices, "Hi Miiiiiiss!!!!!" Seeing their ecstatic delicate faces, I returned their greeting with (hopefully) equal enthuasiasm.Ü

I continued my work but shortly I noticed they were still standing at my door still smiling. Thinking that they want to come in, I invited them and they did not hesitate to approach my table. Attracted by the many cute colorful things on my desk, they played with my animal staplers and fancy pens with much amusement.

We were having small talk... how school was... yaddah-yaddah... then they flashed me their Headmaster pins! Proudly they said, "First time!" (With matching hand gestures pa of number one. Cute! Hehehe.Ü) Wow! Seeing how their eyes flashed with pride, I can't help but sincerely and wholeheartedly congratulate them.

Cystal saw my jar of candies. "Candies?", she asked. I opened the container and offered them sweets. Then they said, "Aaaaawwwww, Miss, you're always kind!"

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Minahal ko silang biglaaaaa!!!!!! =) Gusto ko silang i-hug that moment! SWEAR!!!!! Hehehe!Ü

Kids say the darnest things, but they say the sweetest more often.Ü

Sad to see you go, Crystal and Iris. I'll surely miss you both! And, oh, congratulations really on the Headmaster's Award! Good job! No... rather, great!Ü

Friends are like the perfect mini-vacation in a day of possible stress. Crystal and Iris are my friends... and they were such a perfect mini-vacation.Ü

Streamlining

Foreword: Jay gave me the book Streams In The Desert for Christmas. Nice.Ü

Last night, coming from a dinner and kwentuhan with Teejay, it made me reflect on how I am. How my spirit is, how my mind is, and how my heart is. It was then I remembered that I haven't read the book for January 14. Or baka I read it but was not able to absorb it because my mind's kinda whisking away to Tralaland.

Eto ang nahain sa 'kin when I read the book:

God is in every tomorrow,
Therefore I love for today,
Certain of finding at sunrise,
Guidance and strength for my way;
Power for each moment of weakness,
Hope for each moment of pain,
Comfort in every sorrow,
Sunshine and joy after the rain.

W-O-W. Amazing.Ü

I know that I know this. But it's ultimately refreshing kapag in-your-face.Ü Minsan kailangan natin ng ganto.Ü

La, be strong.Ü Love you, girl.Ü

Search My Soul

Sometimes when I say I'm ok, I want you to look me in the eyes, search my soul, hug me soooo tight and say, "I know you're not, so tell the truth, I'm here."

Just have time to do this and do it right, I'll love you forever.Ü
Swear.Ü

My Mantra: Smile

A friend of mine just broke up with his boyfriend. While helping her to move on, I'm also helping myself. Thanks, friend!

She sent me this:

It is not destiny that determines love, it is choice. Our so-called destiny is a lie. Relationships last long not because they are destined to last long. Relationships last long because two brave people made a choice - to keep it, to fight for it, and to work for it.

Meanwhile, other relationships fail not because they are destined to fail. They fail because one of the two, or both, made the choice - to set each other free.

RIGHT... *soooo nodding my head in agreement* THIS IS SOOOO RIGHT...

Kumakanta na nga lang ako eh...

Smile though your heart is aching. Smile even though it's breaking. Smile through your fear and sorrow, you'll see the sun come shining through for you.

So Reich, smile, and the world smiles with you.Ü
I love you, world!Ü

Kaboom!

Sometimes no matter how long or hard you love someone
they'll never love you back the way you love them...

and sometimes...

you have to be ok with that.


TOINK!!!!!

Anubeh! Bagong taon ah, patawarin nyo naman ako sa ganitong klaseng quotes! Lord oh! Hahaha!Ü

Bitter-bitteran moment. Hahaha!Ü

Family Greeting

From my beloved family to yours...
