I miss the good, old days...

Yesterday I had the chance to visit the Genesis Choir. I joined the rehearsal for the mass. I’ve been in Genesis since 2001 to 2004. One of the reasons why I love this choir is their song. The songs have fairly evolved from the traditional and usual style and had outgrown the boring style of it.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Giving praise to God through music is an important part of our tradition and our choir plays a vital role in bringing our services of worship alive. If you have musical skills and would like to become a member of our choir then we welcome all those who can keep a tune.

Basta, I'm Beautiful!

Maganda ba ako? This has been the questions that has plagued me for 26 years.... Hehehe! Ang tagal na noh? Bata pa lang ako lagi na nila sinasabi na negra daw ako, ang panget ko daw... Blah! Blah! Blah! Hindi nila alam black is beautiful. Heheheh! One time may tumawag pa sa akin para sabihing... I'm ugly! My god! Can you imagine the damage?.. Heheheh! All this brought on my self-esteem. I felt attacked on all sides. Yaaahh! Blag! Boink! Minsan, natanong ko nga yung sarili ko.. Tao ba ako nay?" heheheh!
But now...anyone can call me anything... negra, baluga, panget... Wala akong pakialam!!! Naiinggit lang kasi sila sa akin or wala lang sila magawa sa buhay nila. Hehehe! I believe that I'm beautiful! I no longer ask the question "Maganda ba ako?" because I know now that the answer is Yes! Yes! and Yes! I am beautiful maybe not physically pero my inner beauty shines through. No doubt about it! Just belief in the self, self-love and acceptance- these are the words to work on...

Gusto Kitang Ipaglaban...

Gusto kita ipaglaban...

Hindi kita kayang tiisin. Hindi ok ang feeling kapag hindi kita nakakausap o nakikita man lang. Gusto ko lagi kitang nakikita, naririnig na tumatawa.

Gusto Kitang ipaglaban...

Nagre-rewind sa utak ko yung mga thoughts na gustuhin man kitang mahalin eh hindi pwede kasi maraming hadlang. Maraming dahilan na hindi ko alam kung dapat paniwalaan.

Gusto kitang ipaglaban...

Kahit magmukha akong tanga. Kahit pagtawanan nila akong lahat sa maling akala na firm ako magdesisyon. Pilitin ko mang i-divert ang atensyon ko sa ibang bagay pero ikaw pa rin ang nasa utak ko, nasa puso ko. Para kang linta na hindi maalis sa isip ko...

Gusto kitang ipaglaban...

Alam kong sa bandang huli ako rin ang masasaktan. Ngayon pa lang hndi na ako mapakali mawala ka lang saglit sa tabi ko. Ano pa kaya kapag wala ka na talaga? Kapag milyon-milyong tubig na ang pagitan natin. Kapag tuluyan na tayong maghiwalay...

Gusto kitang ipaglaban...

Pero bakit hindi mo ako kayang ipaglaban...

Ferris Wheel

Ang tagal ko na pa lang inilalayo ang sarili ko sa mundo. Ang dami na kasing nangyari sa buhay ko kaya nawawalan na ako ng tiwala dun sa tinatawag nilang pag-ibig. Ang daming beses ko na ring nabaliw dahil sa bwisit na pagmamahal na yan. Ang daming beses ko na rin umiyak, nadurog ang puso, tinapak-tapakan ang sariling pride dahil lamang sa pag-ibig. Ayoko na yatang magmahal muli dahil pagdating sa huli, alam kong ako na naman ang masasaktan, iiyak, magpapakatanga at madudurog ang puso.
Katulad ng isang ferris wheel, sa simula lamang masaya. Magsisimula sa ibaba, mabagal at unti-unti kang dadalhin sa itaas. Mapapansin mo na lamang na tumigil na pala ang pag-ikot nito. Wala ng lakas upang muling umikot. Akala mo hindi ka na makakaalis pa sa iyong kinalalagyan. Pero patuloy lang ang pag-ikot ng ferris wheel ng pag-big. Umiikot muli at binibigyang direksiyon ang buhay. Dahil ano pa man ang mangyari mayroon ka pa ring halaga, kelangan mo lang makita.
Ganun nga yata talaga ang pag-ibig. Hinahanap-hanap natin ang sakit para manatiling buhay. Mas ok na rin siguro yung alam mong minsan, eh may ginawa kang walang hinihintay na kapalit…at least kahit paano sumakay ka sa ferris wheel ng pag-ibig…

Farewell to Sasa...

Who is Sasa? Uy, sino ka daw...

We’ll she’s my officemate… my kumare, my kachikahan, my very best friend. I’ve known her for almost 3 years now. She’s leaving to HRD (S) Pte., Ltd. because of her new job. A job, which she’s been aiming for all this while. Hmmm...Sasa...she is a mover… always wanting to see things moving, growing and becoming better. She has huge supply of confidence, positive thinking and self-improving energy. She likes to share what he has gone through. She's a good listener. If you have good ideas, I’m sure she’ll appreciate you sharing it with her. Her friendship is something that I’ll treasure.

I will miss you in many ways:

1. Cheeseburger Party!
2. Watching jologs movies ( hehehe!)
3. Chikahan ever sa CR (hmm… chismis itich!)
4. Tinginan Power (tingin pa lang alam mo na yung ibig sabihin)
5. Ang pagiging bratinella!

Sasa,
I will always remember all the things you taught me, you were always there to teach me new and better ways. You helped me to understand what I was doing and how I could do better. You always pushed me to be the best I could be in everything I did. I will consider you my very best friend. But most of all I will miss the talks we had. You were always there to listen, to help me understand more about life, love and why things are they are. I will keep that memory closest to my heart…Thanks for everything. I will miss you so much…

Love,
Glenn

Bahala na si Batman!

Minsan napaisip ako. Bakit pa natin kailangan magkakilala kung mawawala ka lang din naman? Why say hello, if in a while you'll also say goodbye? Hindi ko maintindihan kung anong purpose bakit ka pa nilagay sa buhay ko. Buti sana kung pag-alis mo, eh babalik ako sa dati. Kung paano ako noong una eh ganun pa rin ako after. Sandali ka nga lang mawala eh parang antagal-tagal na. Ilang oras pa lang tayong hindi nagkikita, parang end of days na. Pero ano pa nga bang magagawa ko? Maghintay? Uhmmmm.. Hanggang kelan? Ewan.. Hindi ko pa rin maisip anong purpose bakit ka nilagay sa buhay ko… kung ano man yon… bahala na si batman! C”,)

Cesar...

cesar and cyrill

Who would’ve thought this guy is capable of making me fall in love? Well, he succesfully did! And I’ve never been happier since the day I did… si Cesar? Oo naman he’s corny (ubod ng!), makulit, bastos and of course manyak (aminin na kze!). I think everybody knows him will say the same thing but that’s just part of who he really is. A man with a big heart, a man of great faith and a man with ambition. So many dreams, some of which are now coming true. His patience, hardwork and passion. My honey… so strong but weak, matapang pero duwag, matalino pero most of the time slow…mayabang na mabait… complicated? Not really. To really understand him, all you have to do is to listen to what he’s not saying kahit madalas ka niyang inaasar, he means well. It’s his way of making you feel na he likes you. A great friend…soooobra! He’s the type of person who shows his true feelings…pag masaya, malakas tumawa walang pake kahit pagtinginan na siya. Pag galit, galit talaga. He won’t listen to reason. He’s always right- naku lalo na pag galit sya.
What I love most about this guy is his sweetness… thanks for bringing happiness in my life. I will never forget all of the good times we have had together and I will definitely never forget you and the way you have changed me. I have never felt this way about any other guy I've met; you have made me the happiest girl in the world! When I am with you, time just rushes by and I can't even begin to explain how you make me feel, but it's the best feeling in the world. I swear every time I hear your name my heart just skips a beat! I love you with all my heart!

Ano daw???

I fell in love once and it was hard, I continued to pursue it but it hurt me a lot, I continued to fight but it wrecked. From my experience, try being a 90/10, heart-mind respectively. Why? So that not too much damage would occur or try saving yourself, don't fall in love too much, but this would make an inhumanoid, because human normally love. Abnormal lang ang hindi marunong magmahal.
But still, if you love, choose someone who will also love you. Widen your preferences and enlighten your mind. Maybe you're looking around what is just near the bend.But still, I think that you just continue to love. But remember love does not make the world go round but it just makes the ride worthwhile. Sa tagalog, para may pagkaabalahan ka.
Pero kahit na ganoon yan, kayanin mo. It's nice to love and be hurt, than to have never loved at all. c”,)
