Come and let us bring

Loyal schoolmates sing together

To praise our alma mater

And uphold the ideals we stand

Loyalty, honor and service

We all give to you

And our love shall never die

Long live alma mater

Move forward and guide us ever

To honor God and our fellowmen

And shout, "alma mater"

--hehe. wala lang. just thought of posting it.

And the journey goes on...

Together we sail through life... and love.

You have taught me to believe in love... and to hold on to it.

I pray we could make it together through thick and thin... and distance.

My childhood dream of becoming a lawyer has vanished. The dream of becoming a top executive in the corporate world is gone too.. But those dreams only ceased to exist because I had a change of heart. corny. haha.

Yes. I spent the long weekend contemplating on what I really want to do with life.. I know now...

My highschool friend and I were having this conversation...

gretch: I want to be married at the age of 25 or 26 but seeing that I have no such luck in love.. i doubt if it will happen.. i don't even know if i still want to marry someday..

me: i want to marry between 27-29 yo. i remember what my biology prof (Dr. Anabelle Herrera) told us during our class. "ladies, don't you ever marry beyond 30 yo.. coz by then, you'll be bringing morons to earth." It was during the lecture on the female reproductive system.

gretch: i might just focus on my career.. i don't think if men are worth all the pain

me: me? i don't want to work in a hotel or resto or working for a company most of my life. i want to be an economist. a home economist. haha.. and run a family business on the side. u know, be an entrepreneur.

gretch: haha.

Maybe this dream was here inside me all along. it's just that i didnt acknowledge it or i didn't accept it because i just cant let go yet of my dreams.

Bago ang lahat gusto ko lang sabihin na di ako sanay sa bagong control panel. it looks better and really better than the old one but hit logging now is only for paid accounts.

Last night, Aug 22, two of my friends texted me. the first one, nagyayang magpunta sa greenbelt to unwind but then medyo wrong timing text nya kasi i was so pagod pa then from work. Bandang hapon naman nagtext yung orgmate kong matagal ko nang di nakikita. He wanted me to accompany sa product launching ng iphone 3g which was held sa stock exchange. and i made payag naman for some unknown reason. i seldom go out of the house na kasi ngayon aside from going to work. and since 10pm pa ang start ng event, i rested muna for awhile kasi it was just 7pm when i received his text message.

Mga 10:20 na ako nakarating dun sa venue and i thought konti lang tao pero ayun madami pala. medyo mahaba ang pila konti. Actually pala, we thought na baka there would be some sort of a raffle draw and the prize would be a brand new iphone. hehe. wish lang namin. ayun, after waiting ng ilang mga minutes lang naman, nakapasok na kami. marami na nga palang tao. pero di pa nagsisimula ang main event. 10 pm was the start of cocktail service pala. free-flowing ang slice of red ribbon cake, may sandwiches din at kung ano pang fingerfoods. tsaka may drinks din from sponsors kya ok lang kahit walang raffle nabusog naman kami. hehe.

ayun, nung malapit nang maghating-gabi, lumapit na kami sa stage where we can see whatever it is that we're gonna witness, u know spectators.. napadpad kami sa right side ng stage.. and from where we were standing, we were elbows length lang with jaime augusto zobel de ayala, gary valenciano and cesar montano. medyo nastar struck naman ako. haha. ayun, di ko napigilan magpapicture kay cesar montano. parang fan na fan talaga ang dating ko when i made kalibat sa kanya and asked him na magpapicture kami. it isnt like me naman ang ganyan e.. most of the time kebs lang ako sa mga actors/actresses... haha. ang gwapo niya talaga. crush ko na siya. sobrang natuwa talaga ako and everytime i see the pic, napapangiti ako. hehe. kaya kahit na super late na ako nakauwi last night and i have work the following day (friday),, keri lang talaga.

tapos today is my students' last day here sa philippines kasi tomorrow they're already going back to korea since malapit na magstart ang class nila. super nakakalungkot. we had exchange gifts, emails and all.. tapos kasi mga bata pa yung mga students ko kaya di ko napigilang maattach na rin sa kanila.. tapos iyak pa ng iyak yung isang student ko and he said na he doesnt want to go home na daw kasi he'll miss me and his other teachers.. natouch talaga ako. tapos naiyak na rin ako lalo na nung sinabi niya na "i hate goodbye. i dont want to say goodbye. teacher, don't say goodbye" tapos may letter siya na binigay saken. tapos nung umuwi ako kanina, naisip ko sila ulit tapos ayun, umiyak na naman ako on my own hanggang sa nakatulog na ako.

i hate goodbyes din talaga.. it's not that i won't ever see them again, it's just that im sure im gonna miss the way things are in the present... the way they are now.. kasi we wouldn't know for sure if the bond we have now would still remain the next time we see each other. so ayun, im sad.

im planning to take a leave pala now na wala sila kasi i can't imagine myself yet with other students. since i started working kasi sila na yung mga students ko...

Just a few days ago, one of my closest friends called me "antisocial".. huh? was i antisocial? am i antisocial? i don't think i am or i was...

I'm Yours by Jason Mraz

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it 
I tried to be chill but your so hot that I melted 
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm tryin to get back 
before the cool done run out I'll be givin it my best test 
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention 
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some 

But I won't hesitate no more, 
no more, it cannot wait 
I'm yours 

Well open up your mind and see like me 
open up your plans and damn you're free 
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love 
listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our godforsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved 

So, i won't hesitate no more, 
no more, it cannot wait i'm sure 
there's no need to complicate our time is short 
this is our fate
I'm yours 

*scat* 

I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror 
and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer 
But my breath fogged up the glass 
and so I drew a new face and I laughed 
I guess what I'd be sayin' is there ain't no better reason 
to rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons 
it's what we aim to do 
our name is our virtue 

But I won't hesitate no more, 
no more it cannot wait
I'm yours 

Well open up your mind and see like me 
open up your plans and damn you're free 
look into your heart and you will find that the sky is yours 

so please don't, please don't, please don't, 
there's no need to complicate, 
Cause our time is short 
This, this, this is our fate, 
I'm yours

*scat*

I'm getting more excited as the weekend gets closer. I will travel alone to a place I have never been to before and that just adds spice to my forthcoming experience. This will be an adventure for me.

My fear, if there's any, is nothing compared to my excitement.

2008 to do and must-have

Posted by cltempla at 10:34 PM on January 7, 2008.

"You can't find the right one if you don't let go of the wrong one" - a quote blurted out by ate jo with a mouthful of rice, chicken and sisig.

Things to accomplish this year:

1. Since I'm already turning 22 in less than a month (oh, god, I'm afraid im already too old) I must have a bf.. that's a must.. before this year ends.. But no ex's coming back please...

2. Last for a year in Seattle's Best Coffee... but before i resign, i should be promoted at least one rank higher than my current position.

3. Travel- domestic or international... basta travel. i'd prefer if it's for leisure rather than work-related. siyempre naman...

4. engage in some sports like badminton or dances like jazz, ballroom.. those kinda things. i'm now scouting where i could register.

At the start of this year I posted my 2008 things to do.. Today, August 26, out of the 4 things I wrote I somehow accomplished 2 of those. Not bad. It's no. 1 and 3.

I counted Tagaytay-escapade last March as part of domestic travel for leisure purposes and hopefully, before September ends, im already in California.

And bf. hehe. :D
