Blessed

the month of september had not been the greatest month for me. it's like i'm always down and worrying about a lot of things. i really made the wakeboarding plans pushed thru coz i needed it. i needed to relax. as i told my wakeboard buddies, i know that wakeboarding would really give me bodyaches and i needed that to drown all my spiritual, emotional and whatever pain i'm feeling. the week after the wakeboarding trip had really been painful. especiall with my bodyaches. every move i make is OUCH! OUCH! OUCH! and when my body is already healing, i got a spiritual/emotional blow. yup, even spiritual.. since i got really depressed, i was questioning God. and really felt that i'm a bad person and didn't deserve blessings.

funny coz a week before even if i'm feeling down the pits, i still felt blessed. even if there are problems, i know i am still blessed. then saturday came. and after the realizations, i really felt peace. promise! this week, whatever came my way, i felt calm. some people thought i was depressed coz of my text messages from the book of pareng Paulo but honestly, what the book said was what i was feeling last week (specifically friday). and i just wanted to share it even if it's delayed. hehehe.

and this week, i've realized that for a really proud person as i am, God is still blessing me. He is humbling me. yes, i am a very proud person. that is one of my favorite sin to commit.. pride. maybe because i love to eat pride chicken when i was a kid. yuck! corny! hehehe.

okay, back to my post. well, i'll just repeat and emphasize that i am a proud person. so when i have problems or i feel down or i need help, i don't try to show it. i always show that i'm strong. but God still gave me people who i don't know if they saw past my pride but they sure have been used by God to help me. but as i said before, God's message for me is to wait. i thought before that God sent me these people because He's granting me something already. but no! i think this is His way of giving me an opportunity to be patient. labo ba? honestly, malabo. hahaha. but i know that after these opportunities would be something far better for me. His perfect plan for me.

these are the people i want to thank. they have helped me in one aspect of my life. and i won't mention what. i'm proud, remember? hehehe.

Thanks to:
Jopay - for the instant text, ym and email messages. for always remembering me
Emcee - you're right. i am not asking anyone for help. and yet you still lent a helping hand. thanks for believing in me
Dino - i'm really glad we had that phone conversation when you asked that the out of town schedule be moved
Gani - namiss kita bigla ha. magsideline ka nga. kme clients mo.
Pie - kahit na tuliro utak mo that time, you still remembered me. and remembered to mention it to me.
Kate - this thank you should have been said a long time ago pa. hehehe
Maca - you always remember me
Son - thanks for always informing me and sending me emails
Ate Dada - i'm really thankful nakakasabay and nakakasalubong kita sa mrt. hehehehe
Tina Guzman - seeing you in the wedding shower slightly changed my life. naks! hahaha
Jay - actually, you're a blessing for other people, for my friends. but through me coz for my friends. but still even if it's for other people, not me.. you still are a blessing,
Mam Irene - the text message and phonecall that changed my life. with this list, most unexpected kayo. thank you so much for believing in me. though i left you and gay hanging before, you still had been nice to me. thank you!

i'm sure some of those in my list do not know what i'm thankful for. but for those who realize what it is for.. quiet na lang kayo. hehehe. thank you! :)

skiing

honestly, my ultimate dream for a water adventure besides scuba diving is to experience jetski. when i was still a kid, i would really want to ride a jetski. but the problem is it is expensive, for just a few minutes it would cost you much. that is why i was so happy to have experienced water skiing or wakeboarding. hehehe. coz it may not be a jetski, but i am getting there. that's the advantage of living in the Philippines. a lot of beaches and water sports to try.

but the disadvantage? there is no snow. i could not experience snowfights, snowman and the luxury skiing holidays. this makes me dream of going to Meribel, France and St. Anton, Austria to experience the luxury ski chalets in St Anton. that would be a wish for me. not only the skiing experience but first to be able to go to those places. a place where there is snow. and stay there for a year to be able to experience changes in season as Renny always brag about. hehehehe. because here in the Philippines, there are only two seasons, summer and rainy seasons. and be able to ski. for i have always associated skiing with luxury and for rich people. and even for just once in my life, i would like to experience that, wouldn't you?

oh well... after writing about sleeping and dreaming, this is one dream that i would make sure would come true.

sleep

i love to sleep. it is something that i do not have any difficulty doing. i can sleep anywhere and even if it's noisy and with lights on. even while sitting. i think if i would like to, i can sleep standing up. just like my dad. but of course what makes me sleep more comfortably is having a nice bed. of course the bed should have a very comfortable bedding. a big bed with lots of pillows that would want me to just stay in bed. i have always loved pillows. ever since i was a kid, my bed should have lots of pillows. even if the pillows would occupy 95% of the bed, it would be okay with me.

also for me, a bed with lots of pillow would make a bedroom enchanting. yes, i am really using the word enchanting for it. hehehe. well, it really is enchanting when you see a bed. coz when you lie down and get to sleep, you go to far away places, beautiful and not, through your dreams. dreams that you imagine and dreams from your unconscious mind.

lately, i am having weird dreams. not really that weird but i can remember my dreams and my dreams are related to whatever is happening in my life. i think my dreams now are saying how truly i feel even if i try to hide it.

Just Wait and See

it had been a remarkable saturday for me. i was supposed to go to divisoria with officemates but since i'll just have to meet them there, i did not push through anymore. so i just attended mark10 instead and had a film showing on old testament Bible stories. and i'm really thankful i attended mark10. then i saw two of my highschool bestfriends that night.. jay and ljieu. i miss rlyn tuloy.

though i have heard the story of Joseph the Dreamer a million times, it still touched my heart when i watched the cartoons. what really inspired me were two parts. when the prison guard was telling the pharaoh about Joseph. that even if his brothers wanted to kill him and sold him, he never cursed God. and next is when his brothers apologized to him in selling him. and Joseph just answered that it was God's plan. for if it did not happen, they will die coz of the famine.

i don't curse God but i always question Him when things i pray for do not happen. and even if Joseph was a really good and faithful man to God, he was still imprisoned but because of that he became a pharaoh. and as i told jay later that night, it made me realize that maybe that's what God is doing to me. coz in the future i'll be the leader of the world. bwahahaha.

after mark10, i met up with jay. told her about a little disappointment. and she said that God has a greater plan for me. my mom also said that, and i know everyone will say that and i just want to hear God say me to me right now what is His plan. coz i hate to wait. i am not patient. and i'm telling God i'm not praying for patience so don't give me the opportunity to be patient. then jay said.. "isn't it frustrating when everyone around you is moving and yet God is asking you to be still.." exactly! that's exactly what i'm feeling right now! as in!

of course we discussed the cartoons that i've seen that afternoon. and she said what struck her from the story of joseph is that for 10 years, he was in a cell. God made him wait in a cell. and he excelled in a cell. so when we feel that we are in a garbage bin, let's try to be the best trash there is.

yesterday, God's message had been loud and clear. Wait.. Be still... i guess He's really preparing me for something great. and i'll just be the best trash. hehehe. i am praying that i'll not be impatient and try to jeopardize His plans for me. hehehe.
_________________________________________________________________

much later that night. actually, early morning already. 1am na kaya. i met up with ljieu. yup, even if i'm super sleepy already, i still met kathreen. coz it might be years before i'll see her again. ljieu had known me since first year highschool so she knew me before a lot of people. anyway, we've talked about my bedroom, and my mom's rule on no eating in bedrooms. and that there are lots of ants on my bed and i don't know why since food is not allowed in the room. i just said: "i guess i'm just really sweet that's why there are ants." and with a shocked face she said, "tin? ikaw sweet?" i said yup. people do change. if others would ask me if i've changed.. i'll say "yes. now i'm sweet." hahaha. my mom's description for me before would be.. "hindi siya malambing." now, i can say i am. bakit ba? gusto ko sabihin na malambing na ako eh. hahahaha.

I Fell in Love

Yup! i fell in love last weekend. i fell in love with wakeboarding. actually, with kneeboarding pa lang pala. hehehe. but for me it's still wakeboarding. hehe.

my harper friends prefer surfing more, but for me it's really wakeboarding. as denise puts it, wakeboarding is for the less patient. and that's me! hahaha. also with surfing you should know how to balance. and i'm really not good in that part. and i don't get much bruises in wakeboarding.. it's just my muscles. unlike in surfing where the surfboard will always hit you. i have low tolerance with pain, remember? hehehe.

i don't know. i just fell in love with wakeboarding. even if i was not able to finish one round. as in i want to experience it again. aside from scuba diving, wakeboarding is now included in my what to repeat water adventure list. and it's a sport i want to master. maybe, what made me more like it is that i was able to make my first turn the next day when hours ago, i was being problematic coz i thought i won't be able to hold the bar for long.

see! i literally fell! hehehe

i guess, i won't be that inlove with wakeboarding if not for my friends and the people in Lago de Oro where we stayed and learned the sport. the people in the resort are really nice. though they called me sir twice, i still find them nice. the place says a quiet neighborhood. it's true! i just don't know if it's what our neighboring rooms will say. hehehe.

it was really a fun weekend. even if my muscle joints really hurt even up to this day, the weekend really made me relax. it made me de-stress. (is there such a word? hehehe). for a very stressful week/month, it is a great way to end it. thank you wakieboardies for the very fun weekend. especially to gabe who really made us all relax and put a smile on our faces. hehehe.

special message to denise: nonsense excuse mo. why? coz i was in a similar situation as you are. and still it didn't stop me from trying and enjoying.

*thanks to gabe for my wakeboarding pictures.

Wordsy Words

"What is she revenging for?"

is there something wrong with the statement? when i asked my officemates if it's the right grammar, they told me.. "is there such a word as revenging?" and i said yes. it's the act of revenge. so i checked google and a dictionary, and there's such a word. hehehe. still they insist that there isn't. until an officemate said: "there's such a word.. it's a tin-tin word."

there was also this one time when i replied to a text with a new word. and an older officemate asked if it's what the youth today uses.. a younger officemate just replied.. "no, tin-tin just invented that word." hehehe.

i love to invent words. hehehe. by placing suffixes such as -ish, -er, -ness, -ly, and all other suffixes. hahaha. most of the words i've invented are not planned.. such as the care of-care of. situation called for it. and also the words i invent, you can easily know the meaning. but some words i invented in purpose. like badder. promise! it's badder.. coz i was between bad and worse, so it's badder. hehehe. why do i invent words? just for fun. i don't know.. it's make it more fun to say these words. hehehe. unlike if i just use an ordinary word. hahaha. honestly, i am not conscious about it until someone will pinpoint or will use these words. hahaha.

**re revenging. i know i should have used avenging instead. but i prefer revenging.. it's like i will demand you in court. hehehe.
(note: tagalog word of sue is demanda, so some thought that the english term for demanda is demand)

SGG

tin-tin, ghalya, zettes trina, marj, nice

the SGG! my first barkada in college. i'm sure people who have known me in my latter years in college do not know this. hehe. it's because, two of them have left the country by that time already and the other three... well, we just go out once in a while.

i miss these girls. they made my first years in college really fun. when other freshmen students were crying coz they feel homesick, we're out partying. even if there are exams, we would still go out at night. and we would still have good grades. except for ghalya and i and math17. hehe.

i haven't seen these girls for ages. except for zettes and marj, who are here in the philippines for some weeks. the other three are now in the US. i remember when trina just left the country, she would text me saying.. the SGG Cali Chapter had a party the night before.

we have different personalities (trust me on this), yet we still became friends, had fun and shared good memories with each other.

we don't see each other anymore.. but we are still friends. still communicating once in a while. sharing pictures, exchanging letters and text messages. the Cali girls even shared an apartment at one point or are neighbors. and i hope we'll have a grand reunion on december for marj's wedding.

our lives now may be entirely different from our freshmen days, with work, kids, and everything, but we still know how to have fun and how it is to party!


a little game... if you would be able to guess the meaning of SGG, you will have a prize :)

Moving On is Hard to Do

some friends and i were talking and the topic became breaking-up. and here's what we realize why it is hard to move on...

when you are still together, of course there are happy moments. but of course there are sad and bad moments. especially right before the break-up. and when you break-up... all you could think of are the happy moments. this is the perfect time for you to think about all the bad memories. but all you could think of are the good ones. so now, you are having a hard time to move on. now, all you do is cry asking yourself why and what happened coz everything is perfect. but you don't realize it's not. there are also times it's not. that it's bad. but you forget about it. you forget all the hurts you've experienced.

i'm going to be mean. but why is it that the things we have to remember in the moving on stage are the good memories? can't it be the bad ones so that we'll have an easier time to move on? wala lang...

Money Talks

I’m so happy yesterday! I finally found a dvd copy of Moulin Rouge. And it’s an original copy! So before sleeping, I watched it. Actually, I just watched those with the singing parts. That is how much I love to sing.

Anyway, there was this singing dialogue between Satine and Christian where he says that all we need is love, and yet Satine would answer back that it is money. So, what do we really need? Since I do not have a lovelife, I think it is money for me now. Hahahaha. Finding money is easier than finding a boyfriend. So I am really going with money now. Hehehe.

So since I need to make money, I signed up to payperpost. Yup. I’m really grabbing almost every blog money-making thing. That’s how hard life is. Actually, carey introduced me to this for the longest time already, but it is only now that I’m really into this. Hehehe. Coz before, I do not want to infect my blog with money making matters, but now times call for it. And also, I got inspired with how carey does it. It is not obvious that she is writing an ad. Carey, you’re really my idol with this stuff. And you’ll forever be associated with it already. Hahaha. So now I am starting to hear money talks. Is this bad?

Girls that Rock Award

they are simple, humble and ordinary people. not famous (except in the blog world i think). they are not called your highness. they did not have any solo concerts yet that have been sold out. you cannot find any albums of them in your favorite record bars. their cribs have not been featured in mtv cribs. they do not have their own tv show. but these girls rock! they have their own fans. and i'm one of them. why? because they are astig!

from the kingdom of cambodia... a musician/lawyer/diplomat who is so good in the kitchen (i'm talking about eating not cooking), and now a certified blogger with a matching feature in manila bulletin... You Rock Ate Toe!
actually, this award is from her passed on to me. that is why it really is an honor. coz the award is like made for her, and yet she is generous to pass it to someone like me. i'm not worthy. i'm not worthy. (with matching bowing). hehe

from one musician to another. a really great singer (i bet most of you didn't know that). but now a good housewife to her hubby and a sweet mommy to Baby A. and if you think of Turkey only as a food every thanksgiving, then read her blog to know how it is to live there. the diva of turkey... You Rock Duke!

a businesswoman at heart. not only with her own business but also with blogging. she can advertise without you knowing it. memes are attracted to her. people would always tag her. and as a revenge, she made her own meme which can be read from many blogs already. from the city of smiles, bacolod city... You Rock Carey!

don't be fooled with her sweet face, coz she can really be sarcastic and ruthless if she wants to (hehehe). she can think of out-of-this world topics. and 13 is a meaningful number for her. she can think of 13 different things that are in the same category and i am sure you would not think of that. an architect who is also a dancer (during flower festivals. hahaha), and definitely a creative writer. from the summer capital of the philippines, baguio city... You Rock Alternati!

here's my list of the Girls that Rock and it's up to them if they want to pass their award to another person. hehehe.

here's the Diyosa ng Kagandahan (Goddess of Beauty) signing off....

Weekend Movie Singing

last weekend (the really long weekend), i just stayed at home. i really planned of not going out except last sunday for mass and for the wedding preps of marj. i just indulged myself with tv, dvd, internet, computer games, sleep. hehehe. and i was really contented. why? because it seems that it was only last weekend that i really had some rest. it was a lazy weekend for me. it's like i didn't have any pressure or whatever.

and since i slightly had a dvd marathon (movies coz i finished the tv series already), almost all the movies i watched have a good soundtrack. and the good thing about dvd, some of it have lyrics showing. and this made me enjoy the movie more, coz i get to sing along. hahaha. that is why i watched again and again Love Actually. it's not only because i love their soundtrack, but also the movie itself. i love it!

haay... how i wish i'll find a dvd of Moulin Rouge and The Sound of Music...

weekend is fast approaching again.. any plans for the weekend? and what movie soundtrack is your favorite?

A 5th Grader's Dream

it's always said that when a door closes, a window is opened. i didn't very much feel that quote until recently when an email was sent somehow like that. it's about thanking God for closed doors just as much as you're thankful for open doors.

last year, i thought i was going to transfer to a new company, a (slightly) dream company.. but i don't know what happened. it didn't push thru. i really questioned God. but after reading the email, i've realized something. if not for that, i wouldn't make a step in fulfilling my ultimate dream. and so now i've made a step. i applied for my dream to come true. and now i'm asking for your prayers. hahaha. coz for me i only have ten percent of passing. but i'm really hanging on that ten percent. so guys please pray for me. thank you :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

last night, while i was channel surfing, i came across a quiz show in QTV. the title is Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? it's like who wants to be a millionaire but the people who can help you are 5th graders. the questions ranged from 1st grade to 5th grade subjects. yup, they are. and of course since they are elementary topics, and i've graduated a long time ago.. i flunked. hahaha.

sample of the questions i was not able to answer:
What sphere is the lowest layer of the earth? --> well, i remember before that i had a hard time memorizing all these spheres.. mesoshpere, troposhphere, etc.
How many feet in a mile?
How many moons does mars have?
How many of the interior angles in a scalene triangle have the same number of degrees? --> okay.. this is a 3rd grade question. i can't remember that in our 3rd grade math.

haaay... if i'm not even smarter than a 5th grader.. how can i fulfill my dreams? see! i badly need your prayers. hahahaa :)

Heroes

i have just finished watching Heroes. a tv series in america that almost all of my friends have finished watching months ago. we had a dvd months ago but i have not seen it until last weekend. and i liked it.

but honestly, when i see matt partman, the one who can read minds, i get bothered. it's like when i watched the movie What Women Want starring Mel Gibson. it's scary. more scary than those with nuclear power. it's because, it's like my mind is the only thing where i can have my privacy. my thoughts, dreams, etc. it's like the only place where i can be secured. did you get it? basta... after watching the movie and again heroes, it always make me think that i should be careful with my own thoughts coz someone might be able to read it.

one thing you would hear from he series over and over again is the word... destiny.

have you ever thought what your destiny is? and if ever you'll have a superpower, what would it be?

Friendster Testimonials

after two weeks of absence, i've attended Mark 10 again. i missed the kids but they didn't miss me. they were not listening to me and yung iba inaaway ako. especially jom who's 11 y.o. (am i right tim?). he asked me how old i am, and when i said i'm 26, he blurted out: "why are all the 26 year old that i know fat?" saya diba? thank you very much jom! but as i said in my comment on your friendster, i understand you coz you're now EMO. hahaha.

to lift my spirits up and with nothing to do since plans for tonight didn't push thru, i read my testimonials in friendster. and most are funny and really described me. and i'm posting them here. so this is a looooong post. you don't have to read it. it would just serve as a reminder for myself when i am feeling down. and i won't translate it. but don't worry everyone.. i'll summarize them for you. coz what are written are just the same. and for those who have all the time in the world, you can guess who wrote it. hehehe. and of course the testimonials there are basically chosen. hehehe.

basically, the testimonials just say that: I am a good singer, dancer. Friendly.. a kind, generous friend who is fun to be and really pretty. hahaha. i love having my own blog. i can write anything. hahaha ;p

here are the testimonials:

the thing that i love about tin tin is the fact that she is super ma-kwento. it seems like she never ran out of amusing stories to tell. she's very dedicated to her endeavors and amazingly, she still finds time for gimmick. this girl has an amazing voice. Hehehe. NOT!!!!

d best external affairs head, sobrang mahal ang org…laging me free dessert everytime may meeting…sobrang magalaw kya ang galing sumayaw! Hehehe… Anyway, one of the best listeners, you can tell her anything without being judged. Tsismosa in other words. ang daling ayain sa mga gimiks and kainan (sosyal yan). Mapang-asar on the side.

ang laki ng improvement at transformation ng girl na to when she joined the tambourine. if before she used to be shy , ngayon,waahh....ang galing ng sumayaw...

I can easily tell her my secrets and problems and i know she wont tell. Great dancer..her new motto: "Practice makes perfect!"

super masayang kasama and laging libre ang dessert ng externals...

videoke queen yan...super galing kumanta yang si tin-tin..

A Praise & Worship dancer at heart. Polite and friendly but don't be deceived by all her "opo's" & "po's" coz she'll strike you with her pranks, antics & pang-aasarz... grrr... when u least expect it.hehehe...:) Inspite of her sneakiness... she'll touch you with her thoughtful gestures. ;)

c tintin ang isa sa mga pinakabading na sisses sa econsoc noon (marlet and tj ung iba!)..define tsismis at alam nia yan lhat!mega business woman din yan.do u still remember nung one time na nagtry k magpka feeling "conservative" ? kakloka! d nia rin natiis!

Tin loves (and struggles) to tell jokes. But mind you, this sweet and funny (videoke-loving) lady is a friend you can always rely on. She usually plays Ate Helen, listening to friends' problems and what-have-you's, and of course, giving advice. One thing I find amusing with her... she's updated with the latest buzz (in and out of showbiz, hehehe) and with her oh, so keen intuition, she knows the latest tsismis even before it happens.

tin is one person who never fails to bring sunshine wherever she goes, ever lively, sobrang makulit.

very reliable and very patient...someone who doesn't complain even though i surprise her with a lot of favors...

Proven na ba naten na ang gaganada lage ng mga externals com heads.. hehe. she
sometimes has the tendency of switching from one topic to another without any
warning or transition at all hehe but that's ok, we catch up eventually. The best ka
talaga bakla, videoke, party, tequila days, e4 days,midnight society...

Grabe super saludo ko sa pagiging friendly and "ALWAYS AROUND" ng girl na to! whew! She's always there when you need her and despite her busy life she makes it a point that she'll always have time with everything and everyone that matter to her...sound super girl ba? coz she really is!!

bait kasi hinatid ako sa bahay kahit kelngan na nilang umuwi

super super simple and super baitÜ cia ung kaibigan na di mu kailangan makita para masabi mong friend mo... khit na may age gap kmi,i easily got along with her...u will really feel comfortable whenever ur with herÜ

We love to try out cafes in LB and wherever, actuallly...

She's one of the missing link between the more mature members of the org and the
youngsters. Sya nga pala ang kauna-unahang resident econsoc na nagka-celphone (ako pager lang nun). Kahit sa Space Shuttle man o sa jeep o sa kalsada, walang mintis yan kakakasend ng text.

sha yung tipong friend na di mo na kaylangan makita para malaman mong nandiyan lang.

Super bait, parang hindi nagagalit... AS IN!!!

si kristine na siguro ang may pinaka astig na boses sa balat ng lupa. yun tamang d mo makakalimutan. she accepts me for who i am, but let's me know when i am going too far na.

Mapagmahal, mabait at mapagbigay

kahit sa phone lang kami nag uusap di ka talaga mabobored.

she’s a sweet, thoughtful (for she never forgets to text me whatever event is happening), humble, God-fearing person and a true friend to me…

Define sweet. You were frowning because your day didn’t turned out right but then somebody far away texted you with this line “Smile! Jesus in me loves you.” That’s Tin and she knows exactly when you’re feeling down.

Pano though she's 2 years older, she looked cuter and younger to! hehe. I admire ur conviction to stand by ur decisions.

she's kind n very friendly, n she'll always make u feel na ur a welcome addition 2 her friends.

trivia: mlayo p lng sya sa tambayn makikita mo ang super todo hi w/ todo smiling face nya and its enough to lighten up your mood.

madami at mahilig yan magtanong ng kung anu-ano..... never a time na nagkita kami na hindi nya ko tinanong:)

before kala ko mataray siya, pero sooobra bait niya.

she really understands na feeling mo sa kanya mismo nangyayari yun.

ever the so ruffa mae econsoc sis... ay ewan ko d2 sa sis ko na 2 masyadong kikay... pagtinawagan mo pa sa phone ang sagot... howdy dowdy... hehehehe well she's is so kind, sweet, gentle and .... murderous! shes the ultimate chikadora bloc mate...

sobrang touched ako sa kanya kasi ang lambing nya sa akin kahit minsan e nasusungitan ko sya...

ito na ata ang pinaka-funny na taong kilala ko. as in! ang lupet mag-joke! no dull moment! true scorpio indeed.

Tintin..very religious...child of God...sweet, sensible though I must say she's one helluva job-hopper

si tin ay makulit. si tin ay mabait. si tin ay madaldal. si tin ay sikat -- literally, may
kilala sa kahit anong college sa campus..all courses well-represented sa circle of friends nya, hehe ;)si tin ay friendly. sobra. kahit bagong kilala ka pa lang nya, she has a way of making people very at ease with her..

Pag nakikitira ako dati sa house nila sa whitehouse super maalaga yan.. Mega
luto ng breakfast..pakape..you name it. Taz meron kameng common dream nyan, to
see our faces sa lifestyle section ng newspaper.. he he he!! Mala socialtie ba.

and she never fails to include me in her prayers..

sobrang bait, pero she can hold her subordinates. lagi kaming may choco mousse every externals meeting! and, the theme of the externals committee? "committee ng mga
magaganda't gwapo".. just look at our head, and that proves it. :)

si tin e good listener.kahet simpleng kwento lang e makikinig siya sa iyo... si tin,never
nakamiss ng bati sa akin yan...birthday at even anivversary...ang sweet nga kc she never forgets...

Tin is super God-loving, kaya minsan pag feeling ko hindi ko na kaya ang lyf I ask her to
pray for me....Laging nanjan, super sarap kausap, funny madalas, serious kung minsan...and always ready to listen to the latest chika and even the smallest of all problems. Super sensitive na friend, kaya naman feeling ko maski hindi ikwento sa kanya ung mga chika eh mejo gets parin nya. Intuitive, yep that's tin. Loving, un rin. Grabe nga itong magmahal eh

it wouldn't be the same without rocha's morning prayer..i always look forward to her texts..at minsan sakto tlaga! hay..thanks talaga for the never-ending and untiring inspiration you're giving me..you're such an angel!

a vry supportive frend!hehehe and a vry generous one 2!!

the 1st time i noticed her was way back year 2004 yata yon, someone (a guy)commented saying "i like that girl, she's pretty".. then sabi ko oo nga, sino sya? after that lagi ko na syang napapansin kc medyo madaldal (hehehe)!!! she's very friendly, always wearing a sweet smile... smart and self-confident, she knows how to carry herself that's why she's sexy..

u know what's her fav. sOng??? "i will survive"... grabe tlaga hataw nya! kya, wherever i may go, pag naririnig kO yang sOng na yan, xa agad naaalala kO! hehe(",)

shes very accommodating...and friendly talaga shes the type na i-aapproach ka kapag medyo na-a-out of place ka prang ganun bsta shes really nice un po..

She will just pop up in your phone sending a prayer msg na nakaka touch.

ewan ko ba kung bakit sa kakupalan mo sakin ay itinuturing parin kitang kaibigan... :)

mdaling mksundo yan. sana lng (mader) wag masyado sensi at mtampuhin. d rin
pikon yan. pero pikunin ko man yan, mdaling hanapin kiliti nyan. AS IN!

AnG ShEpHeRd KoNg....... kakaiba.....?

KORNY!

but seriously c tintin ay super friendly & hindi sya plastik na frend as in, akalin mo naman b first met namen eh feeling close na ka agad namen hehe para bang magkakilala na kme matagal na ganun ba, but until now ganun pa rin sya na super mabait,super & very approachable (lalo na pagdating sa money hehe joke),& super masaya kasama as in hindi ka maboboring' wag mo nga lang pakantahin bka mag backout na kayo sa gimmick hehe joke actually may potential naman po sya eh promiz!!!

hoy ang paplastik ng mga kaibigan mo ha! diva k daw?!! alam ko lng sobrang taas ng confidence level ng babaeng to. cia ung tipong d ka mgddlawang isip lapitan pag kailangn mo ng tulong, advise, maski pera (hehe) o basta kailngn mo ng kaibigan period. thats because she has a way of making people around her feel special. her sunny disposotion can light up an otherwise dull mood.nd she is so open and bubbly that (yes) we can talk about nything under the sun and moon

tin?! wat can i say..uhmmm.. nde po sya tin!! Wahaha mas bata ko sa kanya.. but she acts, sometimes, like she's yonger than i am..hmmmm.. she's sweet.. pretty.. mabait.. and chubby.. hehe..kala mo puro positive sasabhin ko noh? :-)

Pero tuwing nag-uusap kami, siguradong madami na namang kuwento, dahil hindi siya nauubusan ng tsismis.

c tin, ang lakas ng loob na makipag pasexy-han sakin.. ewan ko ba.. angat lang sya sakn sa boobs and mas straight ang hair nya.. yun lang. good thing we became friends kahit sobrang layo ng age gap namin.. ;)

Matiyagang kausap sa chat at maraming insights sa buhay.

she's fun to be with. there would be no dull moment if your with her. cool kasama. pag may problema pwdeng lapitan kausapin. talk about anything under the sun and not be afraid of being rejected.

parang beauty and beauty combined..

probably, the most promising diva of our time...

sobrang kulit pero sobrang loving and caring... pero paminsan may pagka-childish... mahilig din sa mga jokes na...ehem... sige na nga...ahhm nakakatawa (ang hirap sabihin nun ah! hehe, joke lang po)..

funny nga yan eh kasi mahilig manlibre khit wala lang..nakkahiya tuloy..super kulet din..parang lasing kausap..haha!

palatawa, laging nakangiti :) galing din kumanta, hanep! 1st time i heard her sing, napanganga talaga ako..as in!

pagsinabi ko ng "TIN!" alam na nya na may major chika..hehe ;p wlang tatalo dito kpag nag videoke na! fave nyang song (dat tym) na kantahin: WEAK.

Tintin is very sweet.always asking how you have been doing.she’s such a good listener.always ready to take a couple of minutes off her precious time to listen to your anecdotes(interesting or otherwise)or your simple whims&wailings.She is very easy to please(a good thing).so easy in fact that a simple McDonald’s Hello Kitty doll would briskly send her on flying on cloud nine.

Although we aren't that close, being with her makes me feel that we really are close friends. walang ilangan and super prankahan, never kang magsisising magpakatotoo dito! super nice pa, bagay n bagay sa kanyang cute na smile...

She's someone in my past that I keep going back to again and again... and again.

basta, ok ang personality medyo corny nga lang lalo na pag nag-joke tungkol sa ngongo, kahit ilang beses ipakwento sa kanya yung joke, go pa rin ito! ;) ibang klase din syang mag-observe, akalain mong napansin daw nya yung d naman kapansinpansin..

The magnetism and the charm, walang tatalo kay Tintin.

A good ate to ERIC and DIANE.

she has the power of blab. She can talk to almost everyone in her path. Excellent p.r.

She use to be very quiet, shy type of person… But now, I’m really surprised that she’s grown to be a very articulate and confident young lady. Simpleng tao lang ‘yan si Tin-tin

tin-tin is a take in charge person, she was our block party coordinator. such a great memory and have a knack for cheering everyone up.

galing magalaga. pag may nahihiyang sabihin laging nakatawa, iba un smile sa nakatawa ah.

C tin2x ang taong kapupulutan mo ng mga unique jargons w/ matching convincing facial expressions pa..c: u can also count on her sa kahet saang gimik, no wonder why she became the external head ng econsoc. One thing she hates most...IPIS!...pareho kame, lalo na yung flying ones!

ang taong kakambal ang phone nung college, nakakamangha dati dahil nakakapagtext habang mistulang nakikinig sa klase (hanggang natuto na rin ako, so hindi na gaanong amazing) magigitla ka na lang pag makareceive ka ng inspirational text messages from her out of the blue.

Tin is really the typical racho. Vain... but has every right to be vain due to our lineage of natural beauties lol She is out-spoken and a religious person.

Extra Income

coz of my new look, i need to buy new clothes.. visit the parlor and just spend. hahaha. but with my depleting salary, i need to have an extra income. good thing there is blogging, where you can express yourself and also earn extra income when needed. like smorty, where you will get paid for blogging. isn't that cool? and another great thing about it is that it is easy to join. and so far i am earning. it is easy as counting from one to three. and while writing, i also get to update my blog and my readers with what's happening. if not for this post, you would not know that i have a new image. i have a new haircut, and when i had this haircut, i said i will also have a new look in life. meaning i will be positive on things that come my way coz i have a pretty hair, so i should not ruin my day. hehehe. See! I have updated you with my life and at the same time got paid for my blog.

9 Things About Me

3x3 is 9. so 9 things about me. hehehe

i've been tagged by thinz. in times like this that i hate the who viewed this post of multiply. hehehe. but it's okay coz i have nothing to post.

3 Things Most People DO NOT KNOW about You.

- my weight
- my waistline
- my landline number -> i don't give my home number coz i'm usually not at home. and my also not my office number coz i'm at the office to work

3 Things Most People THINK THEY KNOW about You.

- my lovelife -> it's like i always hear that i'm dating so and so. popular! hahaha
- my feelings at the moment -> it's like i've proven to myself that i can be an actress. hala! wearing a mask! hehehe
- ummm... they think they know me too well? i can't think of anything else to write. hehehe ;p

3 Things Most People ASK YOU about Yourself.

- may boyfriend ka na? (do you have a boyfriend already?)
- bakit wala ka pang boyfriend? (why don't you still have a boyfriend?) -> i'm not sure ha. but maybe if i know why, then maybe i have a boyfriend already
- when are you getting married? -> don't worry. when i get to have a boyfriend, we'll go straight to the church. hehehe

Boss Poly

this is in honor of the first boss who believed in me. wait! it was sir jp. first boss in my present company na lang. hehehe. vp poly gonzales. i can still remember my job interview with him. since our work would be dealing with financials, he asked me this:

boss: what are the types of financial statement?
me: income statement and... the one with the debit-credit...
(after how many minutes of me insisting about the debit-credit)
boss: income statement and balance sheet
me: yes! that's it! the balance sheet.
(syet! asset-liabilities nga pala yun! hahaha. buti naintindihan niya ako. hehehe)

and when he learned that i'm an economics graduate:
boss: do you think it is important if we will import?
me: yes sir.. because chuva chuva
boss: but chuva chuva
me: no! we still need to import because.. chuva chuva
(okay, i forgot our conversation. but i remember that i argued with him, even if i have to impress him. i still argued with him)

and even if i argued with him. and my answers were really stupid. he liked me! he believed in me! i was not supposed to work there anymore but he called for me and told me his plans for me. and he said the magic word. travel! hahaha. so, i started the next day, his birthday (july 23). if not for gloria's austerity measures, i would have travelled in my first months. was only able to travel after a year (in bohol). and it was with him. and after that, almost every month, i get to travel. mostly with him. but he always remember our first travel. especially my singing prowess. he is my number one fan when it comes to singing. hahaha. he even has this rule: i would not sing when i'm on travel or else i could never travel again. and of course i argued again.

me: but boss, you won't be with me in this travel. you won't hear me sing. then i can sing.
boss: i won't hear you. but you're representing crmd (our department)

okay! he won! that's why i got to sing only in bohol. hahaha. and when i was telling his wife about our plans of a little tribute for him the next day, she asked if i'm going to sing. i said no.. he might rise from his coffin. hehehe.

he did not only believe in my talents (talagang feel ko pagiging singer ha. hehehe), he also believed in my capabilities. he would sometimes call me to take down the minutes of the meeting even if it does not involve me because he knows that i can listen and still take down notes, or is it because my crush was there that's why he called me. hahaha. that's him! sometimes, you don't know if he's serious. coz when you start to believe him, you'll then realize that there's a punchline in the end.

a very smart boss. even if you can see that he doesn't feel good anymore and really sickly, he still has a great mind. he still can think of a solution to the company's problems. yup, he cares that much for our company.

the day he passed away (july 6, 2007), my ym status message was i will miss you boss. someone teased me of being a hypocrite and thought my boss was just transferring to another country. but the truth is, i will really miss him. and i believe it's not only me who will miss him. but everyone in our department. he really had been a father to us young ones and a friend to the older ones. until now, we would talk to him. and just recently, when my top is new, my officemates telling me that if boss poly was still alive, he would probably be teasing me. i'm sure he would.

i thought my first friendster blog (i'm cross-posting this to my blog), would be a goodbye blog/note to my officemates if i'm going to transfer companies. but it's a goodbye for boss poly pala. inunahan ako ni boss. hehehe.

i know my description is not enough. well, he's the man who always want reports to be simple and concise. and i know i have not known him that much especially only with three years. but still, i am thankful to God. coz he really had been a blessing. the kind of boss that i really prayed for.

thank you so much boss poly for being not only a great boss but also for being a father to me. and belated happy birthday! i miss you boss.

kuya jo, prettytin, boss poly, psy, atty. kristine

and watch our little tribute, here.

Online Store

i think as everyone else, i would like to have a business of my own. but there are several problems, the capital and also what kind of business. well, there are some business that needs small capital, but the main problem is the kind of business to enter into. also, the location. now, that is also a big problem especially with the high rentals. yes, there are a lot of rising buildings but still the rental. money is not that easy now. good thing we are living in a computer age, and somehow the problem of location and other stuff is minimized. where almost everything you would need is virtual, like your address (just the website address), even the customer's shopping cart. so i think it's a nice option for me to have my store online. but i still need tutorials for this, even if my thesis is on virtual shopping. hehehe. well, there is an ecommerce software that can help me. and i think with everything going online and every house having computers, and computer classes are being taught in pre-school, i think even an elementary student can now have his own online store. hmmm... next thing we know, the richest person in the world is a 12-year old student.

Photography Still at Its Finest

due to public demand, i'm posting a part two of my favorite photographers. and this time, i did not ask permission from them anymore. sorry guys. i also hope i'm not forgetting anybody. and unlike also my first blog, i didn't take time to think of the blogs. i'm just posting whoever comes into mind..

Kuya Marvin - asvance happy birthday! this is my birthday gift to you. hehehe. kuya marvin's blog is mostly about his son, and the pictures are his son and of course ate jopay, his wife. but recently, he went to boracay for as outing of their office. and i really liked his pictures. that is why i'm including him here



Abaniko - some asked me why he was not included in my list before. dami mong fans pala! hehehe. he just started taking photography a little seriously last year. but it's not obvious that he's just starting.



Konrad - Sir KO is the only professional here, i think. he really knows how to take photos. and he's really generous in giving tips to improve your photography skills. just reading the comments in his site would teach you a lot of stuff. puro photographers kse nag-uusap. hehehe. and i love this photo coz when i saw this, i felt dizzy. hehehe



Enoc - he's amateur daw. but he's going good also. and his photoblog has a daily reflection that until now i'm still trying to know if it's connected with the picture or not.



Kyels - was supposed to be included in my first list. but was not there. sorry.. still a student. and i think would like to be a professional photographer in the future



Rey - an artistic architect cum comics artist and now turning photographer. multi-talented and really artistic. i think he's turning his blog into a photoblog now.



Perth - he's really into photography. he took a course and now he's applying what he learned especially with the magic of photshop. hehehe



Ralph - of course he's included! sayang ang sosyal na camera if he'll not be included. and syempre the picture should be our picture. hahaha
