I Can See Clearly Now
The hardest part in living a dream is waking up. I guess finally, I woke up last night. Yeah, I might have said it over and over again, that I’m nearing a saturation point, blah blah, blah…But all those, I must admit were a few of my deliberate attempts at denying a growing infatuation for him. I had little success...At least I had, no matter how miniscule it was.
Ever experienced being half-asleep, half-awake? You only wake up when someone either slaps you hard on your face or gives you a glass of water to drink. It happened to me last night. No water. Just plain old hard slap on the face. And I was caught off-guard.
On my way to the other side of the workplace, I chanced upon him. Naturally, I wasn’t expecting to see him so the moment our paths crossed, it was an instant “it’s you” reaction on my part. What he said afterward hit me like a violent thunder and I guess, finally ended the long agonizing dream.
“Hi po,” he casually greeted back.
I had goosebumps when I heard him say that to me. It led me to a point of realization. Why am I even having romantic notions of a guy who could already pass for my younger brother? Each time I think of it, the feeling comes back. Kinikilabutan ako, hindi dahil ayokong "nakakatanda" ang turing niya sa akin pero dahil hindi ko rin ma-accept na kailangan kong lunukin ang pride ko at magkagusto sa mas bata sa akin ng napakaraming taon. I shouldn't even like him in the first place. Geez. Kinikilabutan pa rin ako. Kaya nga sa twing nakikita ko siya ngayon, wala na 'yung malisya. 'Yung magic nawala na rin. Lahat nawala, pati 'yung mystery. I won't be surprised na the next time I ever get to talk to him, I might be of liberty to call him, “iho” na. Why not? Hay naku, I can’t help but laugh at my foolishness.
I mentioned this to my officemates. They were all at a consensus. Siguro raw kaya ayaw ko na magka-crush dun kasi may new crush na raw akong tinuturo. It’s not that at all. I might like this new guy in the office pero wala lang. Heck, I don’t even know his name, and I don’t intend to know at all. Mahirap na. I'm sure mas bata siya sa akin. 'Wag na lang. Kilabutan pa ako at mawala ang mystery. Eh di nawalan na ako ng crush totally? Panget naman na walang inspiration.
Ay basta. Wala lang 'yun. Ayoko na ma-infatuate sa kahit kanino. I want to live a worry-free life, I want to be free! Here's the song that's playing in my head:

I Can See Clearly Now
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
Oh yes I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
Look all around there's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead there's nothing but blue skies
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day

The Classic

Monday, January 15, 2007
I'm not sure if I entirely believe in Michelle McKinney Hammond's book “If Men were like buses, How do I catch one?”, but I guess a few moments of pondering on some of its points might be of help to women (like myself) who find it hard to catch that elusive significant other.
Here are excerpts from the book:
A more important questions is - how do you catch the RIGHT one?
Simple : You take only the bus that's headed the RIGHT direction.
If the man you meet makes you feel that you need to completely reinvent yourself, something is wrong. This is where I ask you to consider the relationship in terms of cost. Is this relationship expensive spiritually, emotional or physically? Does your longing for a mate make you willing to forfeit who you are in the process? Or does he see you as the gift that you are?
A man's relationship with God is crucial here. His love for himself will only be as strong as his love for God. This is not something that you can impart. You cannot be his savior or teacher. That is out of spiritual order. In his rightful place as your personal priest, he should be leading you to a richer relationship with Christ. If he is causing you to compromise your faith and destabilize your walk, if he is leading you into sexual sin or causing you to be distracted from your commitment to Christ, the relationship is too expensive. Offending the Lover of your soul, who promises you eternal love, is too high a fare to pay for a ride that has a limited run.

A more important questions is - how do you catch the RIGHT one?
Simple : You take only the bus that's headed the RIGHT direction.
So when you do gather facts, let us compare the process to clothes shopping:
1. Check out the fabric.
Is the person mate material? Does this man have an intimate relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ? Does he care what God thinks about his behavior? Is he accountable to God as well as another co-laborer in the faith? Accountability is an important factor. It is imperative to maintaining a committed relationship.
Furthermore, does he want to get married? If you want to be married and your dreamboat isn't interested, don't waste your time. Remember, women fall in love and get married. Men decide to get married and then look for a wife. Note the difference in order. So if a guy says he's not looking for anything serious, take his words seriously. If he's not going your direction, get off the bus & wait for the right one.
2. Does this man want you?
Is he pursuing you? The man who is right for you will pursue you and God's hand in the relationship will be clear. No guessing, no fleeces, no dead ends. Scripture says: "He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord"( Prov 18:22). Note - who finds whom? THE MAN FINDS THE WIFE. From the beginning of time, God has transported men & women across the world in order to put them together. At the RIGHT TIME, He will bring that man on the scene and he will find you.
In God's perfect design, the man is the one who recognizes his mate. Adam has no problem recognizing that Eve was his missing rib. You do not need to strategically place yourself anywhere. You don't have to help a guy because he's shy. Men will do whatever they have to do to get what they truly want.
The man in your life should recognize you as the pearl of great price in his life and be willing to do whatever he must in order to gain your hand. If he is passive about gaining your affections, take it as a sign that he is not interested. Many a woman's mother has suggested that it is a good idea to marry a man who loves you more than you love him. As cold as that sounds, it actually might be scriptural if you stop to think about it : "We love him because he first loved us" (1 Jn 4:19).
Again - WAIT until the man voices his intentions. He should take the lead in establishing the relationship. You may have an inkling that he is the one, but God will use the man to set the tone of the relationship. Allow him the opportunity to woo you - this is your first act of submission. Jesus set the standard for all men to follow. They should love us first. And they should lead the relationship.
3. The man in your life should not desire to move into your house, only into your heart.
A man who prepares for your future has made his intentions clear. A man who is husband material has the means to take care of a wife. He is a responsible human being who understands he needs to have something to offer. In short, a man should have the means to be a suitable over for you.
4. Check out his buddies.
Everyone knows birds of the a feather flock together, yet most women fail to see the connection between a man and his friends. A man's pals tell you a lot about the person that you haven't seen yet. They reveal things about the guy's character that might be hidden when he is on good behavior. Everyone knows how to put his best foot forward. Don't stay focused on the foot, check out the rest of the body!
5. Check out his relationship with his mother.
How does he treat her? This is your preview of how he will treat you. There are lots of men who, because of a negative relationship with their mothers, really don't like women, yet say they do. Unresolved issues between mother and son continue between husband and wife.
6. Remember that a man's family reveals the cloth from which he's cut.
Take note and decide whether you want your future with the man in your life to look like his present family situation.
7. Check out the patterns of his life.
Do you see repeated cycles of drama in his personal kingdom? broken relationships? problems in making commitments? including the job market? mood swings? Is a problem always someone else's fault? Does he embrace responsibility or shirk it? Does he keep his promises? Is he a man of good reputation?
8. Does this man have a vision for his life?
Is running with that vision? Remember, God decided Adam needed help once Adam got busy DOING his assignment. As we saw Adam, a man doesn't need help until he is busy doing what he was created and called to do.
9. Complementarity.
Do your talents and gifts complement his? Do his gifts complement yours? What about your temperaments? Do you see the two of you as an effective team capable of bringing blessing to the lives of those around you? Do your futures mesh? Can you coordinate your gifts in an attractive and effective way?
When I go shopping always consider the fabric, the fit and what I already have in my closet. Will my next purchase be a complementary addition to what I already have? If I find that I am going to have to buy shoes and matching accessories to go with a new outfit, I leave it right on the rack. It is too expensive a proposition.

The man in your life should consider you a rare find, a priceless jewel because of you he is getting ready to get blessed big-time! Any relationship that causes you to feel unworthy, unlovely, unacceptable, undesirable or that you have to work for love, is too expensive!
10. Does he have a healthy love & acceptance of himself?
Make sure the man in your life has taken time to heal from past relationships and has made peace with himself. How he cares for himself is how he will care for you.

"Is it New Year once again?"
That was the question playing up in my head as I heard fireworks being fired in our street. I quickly went out of the house to find out what was happening. For a moment, I remembered a scene from Mars Attacks. The way Filipinos celebrate New Year's eve was mentioned kasi. The film was a whole lot of fun to watch in a weird and absurd way. Meron bang ganun? Hehe...Ay back to my story pala...It turned out, a group of young guys were getting all wild and crazy, they fired whistlebombs and tons other of its kind as they walked their way out of the village. It was scary. I meant, they were scary. These kids who should be in their homes with their family are grouped together in the midst of the night, having a merry celebration of an unknown reason, shooting fireworks along every street they reach. They strangely look happy. Makes me suspect...Are they drunk? Fine if that's the case. But I have a feeling it's more than that. Oh God, these kids...these kids will turn out to be big-time thugs in the future. God forbid.

Glad to hear the news that Ely Buendia is now out of danger after suffering a heart attack last Saturday. According to reports, Ely will only be needing a month or so to recuperate before he can perform again with his band Pupil.
I'm sure tuloy-tuloy na ang paggaling niya. Let's all pray for the best. Ely, kaya mo 'yan!

I'm completely saddened by the news that Eraserheads frontman Ely Buendia suffered a heart attack last January 6. Parang hindi ako makapaniwala. He's way too young for that.
Ely's definitely one of the best Filipino musicians this country has ever produced. With him, the Eraserheads created some of the best songs of the 90s. They elevated themselves from campus rockstars to music icons. How good were they as a group? Two words. Prolific. Phenomenal. Best of all, they sang the music of my youth.
Sad and unfortunate that something like that happened to Ely. Let's all pray for his immediate recovery. He deserves all our prayers.

"I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worries and only half the royalties." --- Agatha Christie
"Words, once they are printed, have a life of their own." --- Carol Burnett
"The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think." --- Edwin Schlossberg

I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.

Just happened to watch Chin-Chin Gutierrez' interview on StarTalk this afternoon. That lady has got tremendous spirit to have that much optimism even after a tragic event. The amazing thing is that she doesn't even want to call it a tragedy. Surely, on a more positive way of looking at it, nobody died. It wasn't tragic after all.
Chin-Chin is one of the very few people I admire in local showbiz. My admiration started in her years providing Betty La Fea her local voice. She was very effective in it that the one voicing Betty La Fea now in the Studio 23 redubbed version pales in comparison.
I remember meeting her in one dubbing session for a Tagalized film she was doing in 2005, I didn't hesitate to watch her do it "live" and she didn't disappoint me. Chin-Chin is such a talented artist. She just loves what she's doing. That's precisely what I'm trying to work on now. As they say, if you love what you do, it will love you back as much.
That's why it's such a pity that she had to experience such misfortune. But Chin-Chin doesn't see it that way. She doesn't even question why it happened. Such a strong-willed woman. She accepts everything that happened and is looking forward to a better life ahead with her mom.
In the end, she asks everyone to trust in the Lord's will and to see the good side of anything and everything that happens to us.
She really has a good heart. I have sensed that in her that's why I like her a lot, magaan ang loob ko sa kanya. I don't know, I just have a natural propensity to easily admire genuinely nice individuals.
How I wish to live my life without any regrets and bitterness in my heart. Each day I'm trying to become a better person. It's hard but with the good example I see in wonderful people like Chin-Chin, I believe it's not that impossible. All the more, I strive to do, feel and think good of myself and others.

Good morning!
Yup. It's a wonderful Friday morning. Ay, I need to go to work early. May First Friday Mass! Ang dami ko na kasalanan. Kailangan nang ipagdasal.
By the way, I had a weird dream kagabi. In my dream, I was back in my alma mater tapos parang I was participating in a group dance contest. Na-sobrahan ata ako ng kababasa sa peyups.com kaya napaginipan ko UP. Hehe...Lahat ng taong kilala ko nagkaroon ng special appearance sa panaginip ah. Kakaiba! Matindi, nanalo kami sa dance contest! Hala! Eh I hate dance contests kaya. At eto pinakamatindi, kahit sa panaginip hindi ko matandaan ang steps. Nyahaha!!! Sobrang makatotohanan!
Hay gulay, maganda sana magiging weekend ko kaso may papasukan ata akong movie na for airing either tomorrow or Sunday kaya, ano ba?!!! hindi na ba talaga ako mapipirmi sa bahay namin? Bummer!!!
