Our background and circumstances may influence who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. We may screw up making choices but life is not about it, it is what steps we take to rectify them.

A NOTE TO SELF: Be calm. Seek your center, that's where your strength is. Breathe. When you inhale, you are charged with energy. When you exhale, you rid your body of tensions; relax. Don't think. Obey your instinct. ~ Isabelle Allande|City of The Beast

HAVE COURAGE AND BE GRATEFUL, ALWAYS... ^__^.

Trouble Is A Friend




Trouble will find you, no matter where you go
Oh, oh no matter if you're fast , no matter if you're slow
Oh, oh the eye of the storm, wanna cry in the morn
Oh, oh you're fine for a while, but you start, to lose control

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah
Trouble, is a friend of mine, ahh

Trouble is a friend, but trouble is a foe, oh, oh
And no matter, what I feed him
He always seems to grow, oh, oh
He sees what I see, and he knows what I know oh, oh
So don't forget as you ease on down my road

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah
Trouble, is a friend of mine
So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I roll down the window I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah
Trouble, is a friend of mine, ahh

How I hate the way, he makes me feel
And how I try to make him leave
I try, oh, oh, I try

But he's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah
Trouble, is a friend of mine

So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I roll down the window I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah
Trouble, is a friend of mine, ahh

Spin Me Around

Darlin' you have to know
At this very moment I miss you
Will you be my gentleman to take my hand
And spin me around only to fall freely in your arm?

The Perfect Recipe

I am to deliver a birthday greetings at 5pm in behalf of the company, for the 3rd bday celebrant since last week. For today, it's Sir Reynold's, the son in law of the president, who is presently working in Admin. Dep't. I didn't know what to say, not because I didn't know exactly what to say, but because I didn't want to think of anything to say. Out of kindness, I was handed a piece of paper with a birthday message printed on it, which I could just memorize or perhaps read out loud. Unfortunately, I didn't like the sound of it. It's not my kind of thing, so I made a revision and ended up making the message longer. lol
 
The original message:
 
They said, The perfect recipe for your year ahead should be 20 percent LOVE mixed with 30 percent LUCK. Add on top 20 percent COURAGE and garnish it with 30 percent HEALTH. So cheers for another year and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
 
 
My version is:
 
They said, the perfect recipe for your year ahead should be 20 percent LOVE mixed with 30 percent LUCK. Add on top 20 percent COURAGE and garnish it with 30 percent HEALTH.
But I dont like the idea of wishing a little bit of this and that, çoz no one deserves less, specially you Sir. So for your birthday, I wish you the perfect recipe for your year ahead, which should be....
 
A HUNDRED percent LOVE mixed with A HUNDRED percent LUCK. Add on top A HUNDRED percent COURAGE and garnish it with A HUNDRED percent HEALTH.
I know it is over A HUNDRED percent all together but you will never be overcooked, çoz I also know that you do share your blessings to everyone around you. More blessings for you sir.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
 
Now, that is a message!!!
 
But oh my, seriously, everyone including those from the other sister companies will be looking at me. I dont like that but I cant expect otherwise so I'll just be myself. Waaah!!!
 
 

Good Epidemic

Smiling is Infections; you catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner and someone saw me grin.
When he smiled I realized I'd passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile then I realized its worth.
A single smile, just like mine could travel round the earth.
So, if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected.
Let's start and epidemic quick, and get the world infected!


As usual, I took an FX taxi to work this morning. On its first stop, 2 passengers dropped off among 4 including myself sitting in the mid section. A guy was left next to me glanced at me so I looked at him. Harmless, was my verdict. He looked decent, smelling nice - the scent suits his aura. On the next stop, I got the hint he was next to drop so I cheerfully opened the door and hopped out, then he followed me and hopped out. He looked straight at me, said thank you through his lips without a voice, and smiled charmingly, as I looked at him. Damn! How cute that was, I can’t help but give away my simple cheeky smile back! Awrf, awrf, you sly dog!LOL
He’s having a good day and I am too, which has to be shared with everyone around you know. May good feelings last for the rest of the day as well as tonight for a goodnight rest for another morning to start right.
Share your smile! ^__^
 

Sadist Or What?

Sadist, that is who I am,
Enduring self-inflicted pain,
And fighting mixed emotions,
To be immune with what’s known.
 
I enjoy but somehow struggle
For holding a good conversation.
It’s no retreat or surrender.
Otherwise, is what I would not dare.
 
I want my mama on the phone,
To say, ‘’Momma I need you.’’
‘Coz I say, ‘’Hello, how are you?’’
To a chatty blue-eyed man in person.
 
Why not green or hazel or whatever.
But I guess blue, in my eyes, became pleasing.
This paranoia is funny I might as well play.
C’mon see my eyes turning blue, even bluer than blue.
 
After hours I survive without any scratch,
But worn out by these two graying friends of mine.
Ma’am Ann and Sir Sigmund, cheers!
For calling me in for a fun long conversation.

Nobler For Today!

Relaxation? A big YES, please.
Make it two, in silver bowls!
''Besides the noble art of getting things done,
There is a nobler art of leaving things undone.''
~ Dizzy ~

5 seconds of inhale and 5 seconds of exhale. What a frenzy week! It's finally friday night and it's time to leave some things behind here on my desk. Done or undone, it's time to go home and relax.
Have a fantastic weekend! =)
 

First Face Peel

My face was peeled for the very first time and this sure can’t escape my blog. Relax! It was just a very thin outmost skin layer called ‘’dead/dry skin’’. I finally had my very first facial care, called diamond peel and my smile is ear-to-ear. I feel silly with that but hell who cares. It’s my face I am wearing, not yours or yours or yours or whoever’s. Back off! He he ^__^ Just smile with me, will yah! Great! Gimme a high five! Now that makes us two silly. Lol
 
My first ever facial care experience waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas great. I got 5 discounted vouchers and I just used my first one. I am delighted that the derm clinic is cozy and has a quality service. I love the facial massage but I was a bit tense during the peeling process, which was completely normal according to my investigation beforehand. I’ve expected it to be painful coz it was my first but it turned out as fine-with-me kind of thing. They said, it is a lot enjoyable in the next ones. Well then in 3-4 weeks, bye-bye more dead skin. In time, I’ll have a diamond looking face with a baby smooth skin. Feel it baby! Hahaha
 
At work I always hear everyone talking about clinic appointments and all that beauty stuffs they had a lot of times and are still religiously availing. Whenever I say I never had one and want one, all they would say to me is ‘’you don’t need one!’’. Alright, alright, but I’d like to see how will that work for me. Maybe I’ll have finer, toner and brighter face. Remy’s and Ms. Anne’s nose and cheeks have fine skin pores I can barely see any up-close. And on mine I can visibly see them plus some visible blackheads! Ewwww! You, ladies are unfair. Damn! It’s time for me to go with you for appointments, spending a few of my hard earned money for beauty. I’m not insecure. It’s just good to know I can help it. ^__^
 
I went with Ms. Anne tonight, rushing off after work. And thank you to her sweet lover(slash)driver, who picked us up right outside the building. We didn’t have to walk and take a jeepney to and from the clinic, which saved us from gathering more dust right in our pores. I’ve saved some penny too, my ride was free. Great! Alright Ma’am, in a few weeks again! I always enjoy sitting at the backseat listening the 2 of them arguing about directions. It makes me cry from laughing too much. I couldn’t help it, I find them funny. And when I’m told, ‘’No laughing at the backseat!’’, I would just laugh more like a certified devil. ‘’Sorry, I can’t help it!’’. Lucky, I don’t get reprimanded but rather get laughed with. He seems to be living well with his principle of a grown-up which he said and I understood as, ‘’as one grows older, one is more compassionate’’. And she, well, she will growl at anyone, literally anyone, to make her point then she’d laugh! Unbelievable but I understood her, over decades she has learned that. Sometimes though, when I’m with her and she’s making her point to somebody, I’d just move away and laugh descretly. If it involves me, then there’s the 2 of us growling at each other then we laugh coz we are thought to be fighting by anyone who listens. Everyone’s happy, everyone’s making a point. Wait, my newly peeled face might get wrinkled from growling. And ops, not too much laugh either, it’l boost my laugh line. Daisy, shut up, shut up, shut up! Ha ha ha Okay, okay, goodnight!
 
Time for beauty sleep bloggers! ^__^

Tic - Tac, Tic - Tac

The light is off and the night is still.
Deep darkness envelops everything and I lie on my bed.
The calmness of the night, I admire.
My watch! I suddenly miss so much.
Its luminous lights I can not resist to see tonight.
I hop out of my bed and tiptoe to my drawer.
In the darkness I shuffle my stuffs.
Eureka! Just exactly where I placed it.
I feel sad not a tiny piece illuminates.
I flip the switch on and see its calendar date.
What the heck! It’s read as, ‘’SAT, 5’’.
Today is Saturday, though, 15th of Sept.
What I can perfectly recall is 5th of May, Saturday.
'’Similar day.’’ I smile as I say with a little pinch within me.
But oh, five, five, five are calling for a high-five!
The day I started my blog is the day it stopped.
Poor watch, sleeping in the darkness for months.
I shake to wake it and the clock starts to tick.
Right on my wrist, I stare, I adore, my wrist watch you are here.
I flip the switch off and I am back to my bed.
Its lights are illuminating like the night sky stars are twinkling.
Good work my buddy, my glow in the dark watch.
We are back, to tic-tac together day and night.
Now, you suggest for my sweet bedtime rest.
“Sheet up and sleep tight!’’, ‘’Alright!’’
Off we go to this wondrous place called dreamland.
I wonder what I will discover tonight, good night!

The Ship and You

The entire sea of water
can’t sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship.
Similarly, the negativity of the world
can't put you down unless you allow it to get inside you.

My Luxury

The rain continuously pours since last night. It is steady, barely slows down and seems mean for no interruption. It’s Sunday, late in the afternoon and I am forced to remain inside. Without the rain, I can sure find myself outside, to see whatever there is to see. But right now I just do whatever there is to do here. I don’t mind, I love the sound of the rain pouring. However, I can imagine the water keeps swelling and is expected to be by the doorstep any time soon, hopefully not. On the other hand, I feel I dislocated my shoulder joints or perhaps broke a piece of bone on my chest from staying for hours on my bed flipping myself from this side to the other, reading book from chapter to chapter.  I get too hooked and I am very much in comfort.

I am enjoying a luxury weekend, I call it. In fact, it is quite a kind of freedom which until now I am still absorbing but so far, so good.  With nothing and no one to mind other than myself, I can’t worry a thing. I can be lazy or energetic as much as it pleases me. Set my own pace as to how and when to do what I plan, what I want and what I love. My only concern is me. I don’t even have to think as much ‘coz myself comes in handy. I believe so. I can’t help to express my delight through cheeky smiles, for no reason can anyone identify. I do it all the time whenever that exact reality crosses by mind. For years, my mind is filled with thoughts need to organize, rethink, consider, whatever. I guess I take too much pride of what I can do, of what I can handle, anything. I have lots to learn and I am confident I am learning.

I owe this luxury to a lot of chances I have given and held. They made me strong. Nothing surprised me but I am pleased. In every situation, I find myself difficult to surprise at all, though easy to please when something good comes up, even slightest. I still believe it’s a matter of finding a silver lining, or creating one when there’s none.

An identical luxury is in my blog, where I unload my thoughts and feelings. I can afford it. I don’t care who gets to read them, who stays here and who doesn’t. With all due respect, this is my blog, so stay or go away. I often thought it is nonsense to be upset, that I’d rather be pity. And I learned sometimes it is rather necessary. But hell, I don’t hate anyone. It is the least I can do if I can’t help, I’d rather be kind. Life is too short to despise people who simply can’t help what they’ve done. So bless their souls. ^__^

Define Impulsive

Define 'impulsive'. It is characterized by actions based on sudden desires, whims, or inclinations rather than careful thought.

Did I just buy plane tickets for another trip? Avail for transportation service and book for accomodation? All has been decided in half a day? Plus other expenses to be incurred on the spot! I thought I am saving! Well I have saved from not being late ( late twice, as of today) and cost-cutting but this trip will cost more than what I have saved. Ahh! This is gonna be fun - I just broke what I just sorted. I guesss that is what we do, fix whats broken, and break whats fixed. Ahahaha
No worries, Daisy, my dear, I got your back. I wouldn't have taken any of it, if I coudn't handle it. And thanks to my dear sistah Remy for taking care of my return ticket. What an early xmas and bday gift for me! Now I am in for the trip, yepey! I pray for the weather to be with us during the trip. So buddies, here we go!

Croaka Lova!

 

The wrong frog I kissed leaps, croak!
Croak again, leaping away to the west.
Ops! To the east, he passes by me.
''I have to find my true love!'', he says out loud.
I shout, ''I wish you all the best. Shouldn't you get a map!''
~
I leap myself home and find love instead of a new frog.
I hold it gently and whisper words of hope.
''I hope it's not fake, but pure and real.'' I pray.
With its heart of silver, I will be gold.
Radiating light beams even when I grow old.
 
 
Hahaha What a weird thought!!! Croak, croak, the frog got stucked up in my head. I have to stay away from Abie, but oh boy, her cubicle is just right next to me! Croak, croak, go away, stay with her, and away from me! I got love on my side, now! Croak! ^__^

Simple But Not Simpler


 



EVERYTHING
should be
as SIMPLE as POSSIBLE
but
 NOT SIMPLER.
 
 
~ Calling it a day! Time to go home. It's Late! ~

Kissed A Wrong Frog


~~ RED MY LIPS ~~
 
I knew I was gonna give it to Abie. She collects all the frogs the world has so when I saw it, it was her I first thought of. But it was the only frog there and I liked it so much for myself. I knew if she sees it on my finger, she'd be dying to have it on hers, though. So bye-bye my golden frog. I am kissing you goodbye - I can't risk myself. Hahaha She is a frog addict so I am safe if you're hers, and I know how crazy she is about collecting your kind so you will probably find your relatives in her house. She talks to her frogs too! Oh Lord, if the world runs out of frogs, they are all at Abie's house. LOL

A Wise and A Fool

 
"A wise learns from others mistake.
And a fool learns from his own mistake."
 

We make mistakes. They may differ as to what extent but they dont define us. It is how we handle the consequences of our actions that makes us who we are. Our own experiences teach us countless lessons, only if we are willing to learn. Otherwise, we surely are nothing but guaranteed fools from not learning anything at all - from others and from personal experiences.~ Dizzy

Kissing A Frog

Sunday. Shopping with Ms Anne – that is unreal! She can be really annoying at times that it makes me just laugh. She’s 46, a friend, who characterizes some traits of my mother. I missed my mother. I missed those times when the two of us just go out to get anything or buy groceries for the house or for our store. I am proud to be of her help with anything, just anything for her. With Ms Anne, I am glad to be her help or company. Today, I went with her to shop some dress for her daughter who is starting to work tomorrow as copywriter. We got a few we thought her daughter likes and we also bought some stuffs for her house. It was funny coz just before we got a ride back home, we ran into a crowd. We checked in, like a typical nosey person. Along the street were a few men, selling jewelries with marked down prices which were saved from the commercial building that was on fire a couple of days ago. Though, I prefer to believe they were stolen before authorities reached the scene. LOL The jewelries seemed to be authentic so we were picking and tossing them like what others did who were gathering around a huge table. Our hands and arms got dirty from the burnt jewelry covers and black stained all over the table. I missed to document the messiness. It could be funny looking at those really black fingers. How terrible! Yet it was fun. I got silver jewelries, 2 anklets one of which I’ll give to Remy and a bracelet chain with huge butterflies which Ms Anne cried about to have an exact one too. I also got a gold, cheap kind though, a ring with a frog design making it unique and totally cute. LOL



 

Alright, if I kiss you, will you turn into a prince?
Or I have to kiss a lot of frogs before I can find a prince?
We'll, you look adorable on my finger.  ^__^

 
 

You Find You


Saturday. My little sister sends me random quotes over a text every now and then. Some of them come from my quotes collection I gave her. Tonight she sent me one that goes, ‘’No matter where you are or what you are going through. Always believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel.’’ I always find this line, funny. Not because I don’t believe it but because when I think of myself in the tunnel and made it out, there is more than ‘’light’’ I can find. There could even be no light at all, from coming out during the night and/or worst with a pouring rain making it impossible to see any stars for a guiding light, as it’s called. I enjoy the thought of saying it this way, ‘’Always believe, that at the end of the tunnel is, you!’’ The light at the end of the tunnel is subject to time, weather condition, power supply, whatever. It is not fixed, you might be disappointed. On the other hand, finding yourself at the end of the tunnel, that is courageous and a relief – you made it out, yes, in one piece! Sure it is you, no doubt! Congrats!


You find you,
the reason you find anything! ^__^

 

Petty Constraints

It’s Friday night at 10:50. The days were long and each night for these past weeks I wander to dreamland shortly after I lay myself to bed. I sleep longer that I feel sick. And as of this very moment, I could fall asleep any second while typing this but I still want to stay up a bit longer to chitchat with myself. The week at work has gotten me. It was exhausting but I feel good about it. The first week is ending and I finished what I just needed for this week. I am relieved and in 3 more weeks, I should have everything in the finish line, hopefully.
 
I find it weird. I feel too good to be true. With petty constraints, it’s hard to believe they easily come and go. I am bored, somehow. It will take long before I get use to everything but it’s something to look forward to. I prefer this than fall back to the same old habit, same old behavior. Oh please! I would rather shot myself in the head than go through the same shit all over again and again. I was disappointed but I was not surprised. I only wished I was proved wrong. But I guess I was pleased I was always right and I enjoyed smoothing any curves along the line. Well, for all I know, there are a lot more curves to be smoothened in my own line. LOL Oh what a big yawn I just made. I could fit my whole country into it. I am kind to myself right now, stretching my arms wide and wrapping myself with them. It’s time to hit the bed. ‘Night bloggers! ^__^

Less Late, More Cash

Insomnia. A chronic inability to fall asleep. For a few months, I have been trying to combat this and I found out, it surely is hard, ever harder than I thought. LOL But mind is powerful so I am improving with my dispute. Luckily! I had lesser lates coming in to work and from September 1, I am aiming for no lates at all. However, sometimes under any circumstances which are out of my control, it cannot be avoided. So, I will keep a record for the rest of the month, here, to see how successful or lousy I am lol Fingers crossed!!!
 
Along with eliminating my lates, I am to keep all reports updated. I have some backlogs that really need ample time without any interferences. So I have to be ''in'' on or before 8:45 in the morning and ''out'' on or after 8:00 in the evening but I should be home at 10:00, or else I'll lost my control over my sleep pattern.
 
I am focusing more of my energy for work this month, coz I really think I need to. And I need no any deductions from my salary for lates, so beware of lates!!! After this, everything will come in handy.
 
The following are my remarkable lates  ^__^ lol
 
September 5, 2012. Wednesday. In at 8:52.
I left to work at 8 but the rain poured so heavily, causing flood from poor, in fact, very poor sewage system which leads to traffic jam around the metro. My supposed 15 minutes travel time turned out to be a bitter 1-hour travel (nearly). Waaaah. Better luck next time!
 
September 15, 2012. Saturday. In at 8.46.
Damn! 1 minute over! Clock, yooooooooooou are so mean! Well, I fell back asleep for 30 minutes after I turned off my alarm. What?! It was so lovely to sleep more coz it was raining. I love the rain beating the roof! LOL Alright, hurry a bit next time.

Truth Screams

How ironic, it has just been 4 months. I find it confusingly short. I remember when days seemed mercilessly long, when the sun was never to set yet the world was spinning fast around my head. I guess pampering my feelings helps, rather than denying. Every now and then, I’d write about it to keep any feelings from being unnoticed and unrealized. In some ways, I am still in dismay, but it’s visit doesn’t feel heavy now as it was. Besides, I’m giving the man some credit. Knowing him was not too bad, in over all. Lol So, I manage.

There it is - A rainbow!!!
I’ve spent a lot of time in silence, alone, as my highly suggested personal cure. In silence, every truth screams and it’s what I like best coz I get to know myself better, in good and bad times. I respect silence, I always did and will always do, as much as I enjoy running around messing with anything.

 
Now, this is comical.
How about a big head for a tiny body???
It is Sunday and I spent few hours of my afternoon, sitting on top of the monumental wall, reading a book, listening to every distant noise, and feeling each blow of the breeze. It’s great up there. I like the view.
 
Sorry about this.
 I was hopping from one phase to another,
only to find, somebody has a massive manhood! Hahahaha
It has been a little over 2 years since the last time I was there, and a little over a year since the last time I workout. I felt my knees tremble as I climbed my way to the top. I climbed too fast thought, I was excited lol I walk everyday for at least 20 minutes to at least 2 hours during weekend but it is nothing compared to climbing, or running, or doing tae-bo or yoga. Now, I suddenly miss all of those. Everything around is unforgivably hard and I hurt my left knee. Poor bare knee. The next time I am to climb up there, I will wear pants hahahaha A lesson painfully learned! lol
 
I have to get out of the house so I will be hanging around on the wall during weekends, to read. I need this time to keep me occupied yet stayed focused without getting myself exhausted coz some time soon, I’m in ‘’double time’’.
 
Gotta start training myself!
 

'ber Treat!

It is 1st of September, Saturday, and I was at work this morning. Everyone was happy to be finally in so-called ‘ber’ months. So, I thought to treat myself after work and I delightfully did. I think feelings are contagious coz my spirit seems lifted, even til tonight while I am writing this.

A healthy treat! All-veggie salad and strawberry yoghurt smoothie. Plus the book I’ve been reading, which gladly I am half-way now. I know I read slow but I like it slow, at least for now. In time, I’d be reading quite fast without missing anything and oh, without needing a dictionary too! I wish! Well, I like carrying this book with me every weekend, then sit somewhere and read. Another way to relax while taking a break from my wondrous place ( of course, I meant the opposite) and my joyous roommates ( I meant the opposite too hahaha). Mmmm I can sense I will have a different place soon. Good luck to me. My fingers are crossed! (‘’, )
 
I think I’m gonna have strawberries at least ones a week. It is said to be great as a part of the diet - a shake every week. Alright, I pledge myself for that from now on. My fingers are crossed again, so I wont fail myself. It always feels good to challenge my own self!!! Well, like other things, it takes practice to be consistent, to be perfect. Then practice becomes a habit. Then a habit becomes a part of the system. And, surprisingly, a habit is hard to break! It takes another commitment to break it, but why break though; it’s nothing but a great food for the body. Like a book, only it’s for the brain!
 
Have a healthy ‘ber’ months and ‘non-ber’ months as well!! lol ^__^
