My Birthday

It's my birthday yet, I feel empty. Maybe I have been sleeping all this time, I forgot to keep a close watch at the days of my life. At 29, I feel so wasted. Where have all the years gone?

Life hasn't been so bad, honestly. It's just that I feel like nothing significant has been happening in my life these past couple of years.

Maybe I have been dreaming all this time. Maybe I've spent most of my years fantasizing about absolutely fantastic things. But I guess, things do reach their saturation point at one time or another.

At this stage in my life, I need to make crucial decisions, which will somehow decide what life I'll be having in the impending future. It could be a choice between loving or letting go, of staying or leaving, of seeking or being found, of learning or teaching. But in all of these, I guess it's the manner I'll choose to handle choices that'll mold my persona to the road to success, mediocrity or failure.

Right now, I want to take a risk, to taste defeat, then if I'm lucky enough, to kiss victory....but then, that's fantasizing the fantastic once again. Guess I'll never really learn.

Help me, God. I need courage.

Politics. Politics. Politics. What else is there to see but aspiring politicians campaigning as best they could to lure people to vote for them?

Personally, there's not one politician I trust anymore. Though it's not right to generalize, to me they're one and the same. I hate to say this but, when people start doubting about leaders' credibility, you know something is ultimately wrong.

Imagine this: to your right, you see people from the government convincing everyone that things are all right when in fact they're not; to your left, you see people who seriously criticize/ oppose the government each for their own political/personal reason.

This has become so much like a stereotypical drama. There always has to be a protagonist and an antagonist. But hey, I'm confused. Which is which? That's an even bigger problem we have. We do not know which truthfully wants to help and which one wants to take advantage of the people. Maybe both, maybe neither, maybe either...whatever!

Okay, I maybe a little harsh on thinking not one of our politicians want to make a good and honest leadership. Maybe there are some. I have yet to find them though...

I hate to say this but politics has become a livelihood for so many leaders. Such a shame really. I don't think it's that bad in other countries. I mean, there must be corruption in other parts of the world but it becomes secondary to helping and serving the country, first and foremost. Unfortunately, it's the other way around in this country: corruption comes first, then public service comes next...if it ever really does.

Getting Sick

I have not been feeling good lately. Maybe it has something to do with the weather. Goodness, it's terribly hot! Oftentimes, I'd turn the electric fan on, and that goes on for quite some time. Too much time that I'd often fall asleep and, forget to turn it off. And this morning when I woke up, goodness, I didn't feel any better. In fact, I feel as if I'm going to get fever, and my throat is getting sore. I'm going to get sick...but please, not now. There's gotta be some other time to get sick. Geez. I mean, there's no room for any form of illness. I need to be healthy. July is fast approaching.

Oh..I'm so excited this early. What will happen to me in Korea? Will I like my first ever trip abroad? Will I gain friends? Will I survive alone? Seems to be a little scary but, there must be a good reason behind it other than a chance at traveling: it's a step towards becoming independent. Whew! Sounds kind of serious and noble, eh? But yeah, I need to start experiencing life my way even if it's only for a month, or I'll never learn to do it alone, ever...

Letting Go

I almost had a nervous breakdown this afternoon. Thank God, I'm still alive. Come to think of it, problems will never leave us mortals. Bakit nga ba ako masyadong nagpapa-apekto? Hay naku, I really have low tolerance against stress.

I do not wish to elaborate on why I even cried. But I'm thankful that I have genuinely kind officemates who are ready to extend their help anytime I feel like giving up.

There's one thing I've learned out of all this. Sometimes, to be able to think right, you have to let go of the pain and bitterness kasi when we're too burdened, tendency is we find it hard to distinguish good from bad. Most likely, since pain leads to hatred, anything that we're bound to do is likely along the path of deviousness.

Let go and move on. Oh God, help me move on.

hmmm... me, right-brained? but i'm right handed. how could that be?

oh well, siguro nga. wait, got this from wikipedia:

"
Writing is not as precise an indicator of handedness as it might seem, because many left-handed people write with their right hand but use their left hand for other tasks."

all i can say is...whatever! :-)

I feel like singing....

If You Believe
Rachel Lampa

I close my eyes,
And even when I'm sleeping
I'm alright,
'Cause you are in my life.

Once upon a time,
I only imagined this
And now you're mine.
Wished for you so hard
Prayed that you'd find me;
Maybe you're here today,
Here to remind me.

If you believe that dreams come true,
There's one that's waiting there for you.
'Cause I believed when I saw you
That when you want something enough,
That it can't escape your love.
There is nothing in the world that cannot be...
If you believe, oh oh...

Everybody said
That I was a fool to think
That we'd connect
But I couldn't get my heart out of my head,
And they just didn't see;
No, they just couldnt know
The feeling that you get,
The places that you go...

If you believe that dreams come true,
There's one that's waiting there for you.
'Cause I believed when I saw you
That when you want something enough,
Then it can't escape your love.
There is nothing in the world that cannot be...
If you believe.

Never wished for material things;
Never needed wind in my wings.
I never wished for anything but you...oh!
I can't explain it,
Someone just told me,
"Go where your heart is,
You'll never be lonely."

If you believe that dreams come true,
There's one that's waiting there for you.
'Cause I believed when I saw you
That (when you believe) when you want someone enough,
Then they can't escape your love.
There is nothing in the world that cannot be,
If you believe.
Believe, believe, believe, oh...

------

my day was sooooo boring! daanin na lang sa kanta. hmm... trip ko ang song ni Rachel Lampa. romantic dv?

kaasar, kulang na kulang ako sa kilig lately. 'yung mga nagpapakilig, hindi naman kakilig-kilig......kahindik-hindik!!!!! :-)

Best Quality (Daw oh!)

Karen, your best quality shines through in how Reliable you are

The fact that you're a reliable and dependable person whom others can usually count on really draws people to you! But that's not the only thing. Your answers on the test indicate you're an inventive and creative person who usually has an abundance of imagination and ideas. You are a person with a strong will who is typically determined to follow through on difficult demands and meet important goals, too.

In all, there are 15 qualities that help define you when you're at your best. Those are the traits potential employers, friends, and partners look for in you. What makes you unique is your particular distribution of those 15 qualities.

We've found that your particular combination of qualities is rare — only 2 in 10,000 people share the same general mix of traits. Those are great odds if you're trying to show a potential employer, colleague, friend, or date why you're exactly the right person for them.




What Type of Flirt Are You?

Caution is your middle name. In fact, we think it's safe to say that you're a Shy Flirt. It's a rare evening that you bat your eyes or approach attractive strangers. It's cool if someone comes to you, but you hardly ever muster up the courage to make the first move. Maybe it's because you're afraid of embarrassing yourself. Of course it's totally understandable to be scared of putting yourself on the line. But trust us, flirting is fun! Don't let fear get in the way of getting what you want. It might be healthy for you to stretch your comfort limits a little and try something new. Be playful — reach out and touch someone. A lingering hand on the arm can say it all.

Color Test Report

You chose Violet first and Red second. This means that you long to be perceived as exciting, interesting and influential। You're careful to avoid doing anything that might endanger your success or others' confidence in you। You're preoccupied with things that are intensely exciting, erotic or otherwise। Out of all test-takers, 3.52% select these two colors in the first and second positions.

Green/Brown is your second pairing। In relation to what's going on in your life, you're trying to build a sturdier foundation for your life. You hope that doing so will offer you a more comfortable and secure future, when you will receive the respect and recognition you deserve. Among others who take this test, 1.46% chose this color combination in the third and forth positions.

Your third pairing is Yellow/Gray। According to Luscher's theories, this indicates that you're holding back by avoiding conflict. You fear that disagreement might keep you from realizing your goals. While you're willing to get emotionally attached to others, you can be exacting in your standards for a partner and demanding of those close to you. 3.34% of test takers share this combination for the fifth and sixth positions.

Blue/Black is your fourth and final pairing। This means you're rejecting or suppressing your own vulnerability. You feel averse to displays of affection and you can't concentrate. You're in a relationship that makes you feel unhappy, and you don't feel like you can improve it without the cooperation of another person. While you want out and you long for your independence, you don't want to risk losing anything. This leads you to be irritable and wish you could escape the situation altogether. Among other test-takers, 0.25% share this color combination in the seventh and eighth positions.

Changing Lanes

At this point in my life, feels like I'm trudging an endless road. A good thing happens today, next day comes a bundle of failures. Ewan. I'm beginning to feel less enthusiastic with my work, but it has nothing to do with the work itself.

Though each day becomes more difficult, I'm confident that as long as I have truth with me, nothing can ever shake me. Yeah, there may be people who'll try to interfere and may make me feel less of a person but I am not intimidated.

It's the financial aspect of it that's giving me a reason to consider changing lanes. Parati akong walang pera and it's becoming so sickening. Pamasahe pa lang, lugi na ako. Wala pa akong social life nyan ah...

I'm not getting any younger kaya gusto ko talagang maka-ipon. Ayoko ng ganito.

The trip to Korea could open new opportunities for me pero I'm not expecting too much from it. All I need is a chance to work abroad for at least 3 years tapos, I can have my own family na. Basta kailangan makaipon muna ako and then marriage can come in later.

Kapag ready na naman ako financially at emotionally, I know God will give me that man I've been waiting for. I trust in the Lord's will. Maybe I have met this man already or I'm bound to meet him pa lang but right now, while I'm waiting for HIM to come into my life, I know I have to prepare, not just for him but for my future children.

Optimistic ba? Ganyan dapat. Aja fighting!
