Three years ago my journey began

Chasing down this cure, no plan in hand

Just your pulse, my racing guide in the dark

Just knowing with conviction from the start

The moment your eyes made an introduction

I felt my second violent breath of life

Flawless to the point of being godly

Yet I fell hard for your imperfections

And now we’re slightly weathered, we’re slightly worn

Our hands grip together eye to eye through the storm yet

I still believe in ever after with you

Coz life is a pleasure with you by my side

And there ain’t no current in this river we can’t ride

I still believe in ever after with you
Nothing compares to the good times

Feels like we’re floating when the rest have to climb

You made me believe in love and not the perfect kind

A real messy beautiful twisted sunshine

Emotions volcanic eruptions

We both still care so we’re still alive

Tunnel vision, determination

I want you I want to make it right

You are my twisted sunshine

The Dante's Inferno Test

Second Level of Hell

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

You have come to a place mute of all light, where the wind bellows as the sea does in a tempest. This is the realm where the lustful spend eternity. Here, sinners are blown around endlessly by the unforgiving winds of unquenchable desire as punishment for their transgressions. The infernal hurricane that never rests hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine, whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them. You have betrayed reason at the behest of your appetite for pleasure, and so here you are doomed to remain. Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are two that share in your fate.

The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell!

Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

Level	Score
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)	Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)	Very Low
Level 2 (Lustful)	Very High
Level 3 (Gluttonous)	High
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)	Very Low
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)	Low
Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics)	Very Low
Level 7 (Violent)	Moderate
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)	Very High
Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous)	Moderate

Take the Dante's Inferno Hell Test

i miss you

2005-04-12T16:11:00.000+07:00

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare

The shadow in the background of the morgue

The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley

We can live like Jack and Sally if we want

Where you can always find me

We'll have Halloween on Christmas

And in the night we'll wish this never ends

We'll wish this never ends(I miss you I miss you)(I miss you I miss you)

Where are you and I'm so sorry

I cannot sleep

I cannot dream tonight

I need somebody and always

This sick strange darkness

Comes creeping on so haunting every time

And as I stared I counted

Webs from all the spiders

Catching things and eating their insides

Like indecision to call youand hear your voice of treason

Will you come home and stop this pain tonight

Stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me you're already

The voice inside my head (miss you miss you)

Don't waste your time on me you're already

The voice inside my head (miss you miss you)

Don't waste your time on me you're already

The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)

Don't waste your time on me you're already

The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)

si juan ay parang isang sarangollang naputulan ng tali

na patuloy na umeembang patungong lupa

naghahanap ng natitirang rangya sa himpapawid

na nagbibigay ligaya kahit sa isang saglit

ano ang dapat gawin ni juan?

siya ba'y dapat kumapit ang magdiwang sa natitirang

oras ng kanyang ginagalawan?

o magpa-agos agos sa ihip ng hangin?

yan ang tanong na bumabalot sa isipan ni juan

mga katanungang tila bumabagabag sa kanyang isipan

namumulot na tila kaunting saya sa alapaap

ngunit sa bigat ng damdamin ni juan

hinihila ng di nakikitang bagay pababa

pilit na nilalabanan subali't ang hirap

natatanaw na niya ang lupa

lupang kulay pula

nag-init ang buong paligid

tila napaso ang mga balat niya

nang linguning muli ang nasa kanyang paanan

siyay natakot at nabigla

di pala lupa ang kanyang natanaw

kundi dagat, dagat ng apoy!

kinabog ng malalakas na suntok ang kanyang dibdib

nagdasal at umaasang ito'y isang masamang panaginip

papalapit na ang lahat

matatapos na lahat, tanggap na ni juan ang katapusan

pumikit at naghihintay

nang biglang bumulusok si juan sa sanlibutan

ang tali pala ay kadugtong sa kamay ni gepeto

na naggintay lamang ng dalangin galing sa kanya

nabigyan ng bagong pagasa si juan

sa pangalawang pagkakataon muli sa mundo

mundong nakagisnan ni juan

aching knees

2005-03-23T15:33:00.000+07:00

ang kulit ng tatay at nanay ni bolet. astig sila. we went back at bolet's house to have a drink, and when i say drink, GSM Blue.. ahahaha! GINPOM ang inom.. ahahaha! we had 5 bottles of GSM Blue sarap swabeng swabe! ahahaha! the tita of bolet even cooked soup and longannisa for us....ahahaha! they found out that i was not eating meat so they cooked sardines(how sweet noh)

i got home around 3am. bait ni bolet hinatid ako using his baby pajero. Raaaaaaaaaaak!!!!!

sa tuesday ulit.. ahahaha! nga pla.. you might be wondering bakit aching knees.. kasi masakit ang tuhod ko.. yun lang.. ahahahaha!

movie watching

2005-03-19T13:51:00.000+07:00

Elektra. the last movie sahlee and i watched together.

last night we got a chance to do what we both love ... watch movies. since my shift ends at 10:00pm, we decided to watch the last full show of the movie "hitch" which starts at 11:00pm. it was so funny and it was nice seeing my wife laugh her lungs out. i even had to pinch her to stop laughing.

me and my wife need to do that often. it was something i really love doing with her. ahahaha!

recognition day

2005-03-16T23:26:00.000+07:00

we woke up early than usual today, for it's francesca's recognition day in school.. yeay! i just can't help but think how years ago i was just a little boy.. i asked mother what can be... hahahaha!! now 30 years later i now stand at the sidelines watching my little girl on stage for her first recognition day.. haaaaaay!

this is cheska after getting her ribbon

before all the hustle and bustle.. not in the mood to have her picture taken

full of smiles

one big happy family.. ako lang ang big pala..

after all of these, we went to market market at aling tonya's to eat lunch with my parents, sister and my mother-in-law. since me and my wife are on our 3rd week of "no meat", we ordered crabs cooked in oyster sauce, sipit ng crabs cooked in butter garlic sauce and sweet and sour lapu-lapu... wooohooo! yum! yum! we had to order barbeque since cheska won't eat crabs 'coza she saw the crabs still moving, so when she saw the crabs on the table she said don't eat the crabs, wawa naman siya oh, cook nila ang crabs. so there we bought barbeque for cheska.

it's so nice to see people eating especially when they love what to eat. just imagine everybody lining up to buy food, the people around us are using spoon and forks and us use our hands to eat. ahahahaha! funny situation, ang nakaktawa dun eh ako naka-polo dad ko naka barong tapos sister ko, mom ko, and si sahlee naka pang office tapos nagkakamay.. ano yun? ahahaha! basta masarap ang food namin, eventhough i'm allergic to seafood(except fish) kaya kinain ko lang eh sweet sour na lapu-lapu.

despedida

2005-03-14T15:31:00.000+07:00

we we're just getting ready to leave home when i got a call from one of my high school friend. he was asking to go to his girlfriend's despedida, since we're in makati that time we opted to go.

so after we went to SM to buy francesca's dress for her to wear on her recognition day, sahlee decided that we go to rustans supermarket.. wala nag laman ang ref namin.. ahaha! we bought a lot of fish since we are on to our last 2 weeks of "no meat" diet for the lenten season(i miss eating chicken.. ahaha!).

we we're on our way home when i got another phone call asking us where we we're. they told us to bring swim wear kasi swimming party daw itow.. ahaha!!! we got home, francesca changed to her two piece bathing suit, sahlee just wore her tankini top and board shorts and i wore my GSM red board shorts.. ahahaha!! we just walked going there since it was just close to our house. when we got there, i saw friends that i haven't seen for months with our spouses and children. the despidida party ended up as a children's swimming party having parents on the pool with each of their children with them. it was a very pleasant sight. it was just so sad not having our camera with us to show you some pictures. haay!!!

in short.. lasheng ako again! ahahaha! there were 4 cases of sanmig light and 1 bottle of balentines and vodka kurant and GSM BLUE!! YEAH!!! good thing there is a pool nearby to go swimming.. just imagine the pool floating with bottles of balentines, san mig light cans.. ahahaha! binalahura ang swimming pool sa condo ahaha! tapos ang mga taong walang damit pang swim ayun tinulak sa pool. tapos yung isang friend namin hinubaran ng shorts habang nakatayo.. ang problema wala pala siyan suot na brief.. kaya ahahahah! labas tuloy ang TITI niya.. ahahahaha!!

but all in all, masaya ang gabi para sa akin.. i had the chance to see old friends.

onga pala sobrang dehydrated ako from the drinking kaya bumangon ako ng 3am para lang uminom ng tubig. ahahaha! YEAH! SARAP!

grrrrrrrrrr

2005-03-08T17:53:00.000+07:00

im getting this urge to update my blog... oooops! guess not..

wala akong pera.....

2005-02-07T16:20:00.000+07:00

the birthday of my wifey is soon coming... feb. 11(fri) to be exact. the sad part about is, i have no money to buy her something as in no money at all. i tried saving some but since cheska got sick, i had to use the money i saved for her medicines and some hospital expenses.

no money to buy a gift or even flowers. iniisip ko na ngang mag order ng gift at flowers online eh(hihihi) but it'll be to expensive if i do that. i need to find a way to get money, i think i owe my wifey that much to give her something on her birthday, i think you katawan ko di na uubra.. ahahahaha!! o kaya pagmamahal nanaman..(masyadong gas gas na yun eh) i always use the excuse "pagmamahal ko na lang" ahaha! and it works but i think this year i need to buy her something... actually ang bait nga ng wifey ko eh.. when i asked her what she wants for her birthday(as if may pera akong pambili.. ahaha) she said "ok lang wag na" tago mo na lang ang money for cheska"(wala nga akong pera eh.. ahahaha). actually, we both do that when we ask each other what we want, i think having a daughter changed our perspective about material things.. actually it changes everybody's perspective(huwwwwaaaaaaaat!).

going back to the subject matter... wala nga akong pera!! ahahaha! i need something to give her.. gawa na lang ako ng internet card from the web? pitas ako ng isang dosenang bulaklak sa tabi tabi? ahahaha! which is actually a good idea don't you think? ahihihi! o pagamit ko nanaman ang aking mala ADONIS na katawan??.. ahahahaha!!!

sige na puro kagaguhan nanaman itong pinagsasabi ko ditow.. ahihihihi!!

back from the hospital

2005-01-25T03:59:00.000+07:00

my little cheska just came home from makati med where she was confined since friday from bronchitis.

it was a fun experience for my daughter since in was her 1st time being confined, the last one was when she was born(ahahahahaha!) my daughter was delighted to sleep in a big bed and being served food 3 times a day and having the aircon open 24hrs(kala niya siguro hotel).

before she was confined my daughter experienced on and off fever that was accompanied with colds and cough and this was happening for 2 weeks. wait, wait! i know you're thinking why did we wait for 2 weeks.. actually on the 4rth day we alredy brought her to the drs. and was advised to buy expensive antibiotics for her but it still didn't cure her. so we brought her again to the dr. and advised her to confine cheska so that she'll be monitored and get the rest that she needs to get well.

i am proud of my daughter! she never flinched when blood was taken from her, when a needle was inserted in her hand for the dextrose. she is one brave girl. the experienced she had with the nurses, doctors and in the hospital was pleasant, she had a great time in general.

now she's back at home palying, watching dvd's and all the other stuff that she missed.

what we need to do now is to make her eat 'coz she lost a lot of weight. thanks to medicard for shouldering all the expenses... YEAH!!!

sleepy

2005-01-18T23:12:00.000+07:00

went home early today. took my last lunch break at 5:30 and went straight home and slept. i was sooooo tired and sleepy i didn't even notice my wife and cheska leave(ahahaha!). well anyways, i was awaken with a loud continuous sound of the doorbell, it was cheska, who just arrived from school this is around 11am. with 5 hours of sleep under me, i decided to eat lunch since i wasn't able to eat breakfast. sahlee(my wife) called and said that she'll be bringing cheska to the supermarket(whooopeee!). so since i already ate lunch i can't sleep yet, so i played NBA Live for awhile. slept again at around 1pm and woke up at 2pm since cheska did the thing with the doorbell again(ahahahaha). given that it's still early in the afternoon and cheska needs her afternoon sleep, i slept again with me embracing her(whew! what a wonderful feeling that is)

woke up around 5pm(kasi masakit na yung likod ko sa kakatulog at may hulma na ng katawan ko yung futton). took a bath and went to the gym and now my arms feel like sh_t!! my trainer started a new gym routine for me and now i feel so tired. haay!

sleepy na ako! as in sobrang sleepy and tired! good thing the calls are not yet picking up so i still have a few minutes to rest for awhile....

it's just another monday morning, but the difference is that i didn't start work at the usual time. i woke up around 7 watched my daughter get dressed for school. haaay! how time flies, a few more years and i won't be able to see her get dressed(ahaha!)

i got to watch princess diaries 2 with my daughter today. seems that it's becoming her favorite aside from harry potter of course.

opened the computer and started reading blogs from different people and thought why not write one myself, since it's been over two months since my last entry.

so here it is....

How to Have an Ideal Relationship By Lorrin L. Lee, PhD

2005-01-06T09:56:00.000+07:00

Specially for those in relationship or in near future.

A relationship is a natural, logical, and harmonious association. This happens when people WANT to be with each other and look forward to sharing goals, time, and activities together. Here are fun and easy ways to a loving - ideal relationship.

1. TALK.
Always in pleasant tones. No shouting or swearing at each other. Speak only positive words with gentleness and kindness. Communicate daily. This is the highest and most caring form of love.

Keep your communication lines OPEN and BE CONSISTENT.

2. WALK TOGETHER MORE.

Take 30 minutes a day. To exercise, communicate, release emotions, share ideas, goals, and to clear up any misunderstandings. It's okay to hold hands, too!

3. DO NEW, DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES TOGETHER.

Enjoy a new restaurant, a different dish, a concert, a unique vacation,attend a class together something exciting both of you can plan and look forward to. Learn together and you'll be happier.

4. GIVE GIFTS.

Like a magazine subscription, a special book, a warm bath and massage,flowers, surprise experiences, favorite foods, and the many other special things your mate would enjoy and get excited about.

5. WRITE LOVE NOTES.

Hide them around the home - in clothing, pockets, in the kitchen drawer and secret places. Send some to his or her working place. Write a passionate love letter. Express your love in writing on exquisite stationery. Attach a gift certificate or a crispy $100 bill. Use your imagination and make it a fun surprise. And do it often!

6. DO NOT CRITICIZE, CONDEMN OR COMPLAIN!

This is an absolute NO-NO. Only praises. Acknowledge the goodness in each other. There is no place for negativity in a loving and lasting relationship ever! Your mate will do the right thing-as you lead by example.

7. ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN YOUR IDEAL FIGURE.

It is a gift to yourself and your mate. A healthy and attractive body also promotes a healthy relationship.

8. LET HIM/HER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS/HER LIFE.

He or she has the right to determine his or her own reality and destiny. Always respect that choice. Both of you can live your lives in your own way harmoniously. Treasure each other's differences. Do your very best to make life easier and more fun for your mate.

9. GROW TOGETHER.

At the same speed and direction - by sharing similar ideas and activities. This will bond you together even more while building on fond memories. People who don't grow together will compete in their relationship and move on to lead separate lives. This is why most people divorce.

10. DO NOT BE POSSESSIVE.

Don't act as though you "own" your mate. Support, encourage each other's way of living and individual interests. Be grateful in harmony.

11. TREASURE YOUR TIME TOGETHER.

It could be your last. Look at it this way and you'll always appreciate each other even more. Have NO reason for regrets. Spend time with each other doing all the things you both love to do. Do it now! Tomorrow may not come. So together-plan now for the best of the rest of your lives.

12. DO WHAT PLEASES BOTH OF YOU.

In private, there are no limits on what you can do together with each other as long as both benefit and agree. Whatever other people think of what you do or say is none of their business! So, go ahead experiment and satisfy each other to the limit!

13. BE OPEN.

To new ideas, experiences, and relationships. This is the way for fun,growth and expansion in your lives. The more you LEARN together, the happier you both will be.

14. FORGIVE and LOVE.

Release the past at every moment. Live in the present. Plan for the future-together and joyously!

15. BE FREE of resentments, anger, jealousy, hatred, and envy toward each other. This will open both of you to even greater respect for each other.

Be thankful for your mate's kindness.

16. ELIMINATE ARGUING.

Anywhere, anytime. Especially while eating or in bed. Each person has a right to his or her own opinion. Respect each others ideas, philosophy, and outlook on life. Be a great listener!

17. SMILE AND LAUGH WITH EACH OTHER.

A prescription for aliveness and health. Don't take yourself or your mate too seriously. Lighten up and laugh more often. Remember, your smiles are true gifts to each other.

18. LOOK INTO EACH OTHER'S EYES

See the love, truth, and beauty in your mate. The more you look into each other's eyes lovingly, the more you will love each other more deeply! Do this daily. It's very powerful and fun!

19. TOUCH EACH OTHER TENDERLY DAILY.

Hug. Kiss. Caress. These are wonderful ways to show caring and love. We ALL need it. More than we care to admit!

20. Develop a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.

Good food promotes a healthier state of mind for a more meaningful relationship. Eat lots of fruits, vegetables, whole wheat, grains, hi-fiber, low-fat, low-calorie foods. Drink more water. Get more rest.

Keep yourself cleansed, nourished, and balanced.

21. Keep your home, car, kitchen, closets, rooms-simple, neat, clean and organized. This will help promote a tranquil setting for greater peace and happiness in your lives. It really works! Begin this today!

22. DRESS YOUR BEST.

Be appropriate, neat, clean, and proud of your appearance. How you look, especially in public enhances your mate's choice and appearance too!

23. SHARE IN FINANCIAL MATTERS.

If you are married, communicate with each other on all your finances. If you have a family business, be sure both are informed on profits, losses, expenses, etc. Set your financial priorities together. This will help to strengthen your relationship which is built on trust and sharing. Enjoy building your financial future together. This is important.

24. ACCEPT EACH OTHER TOTALLY.

Exactly the way both of you are. Do not try to change each other's uniqueness. Allow your mate to change if and when he or she desires. This promotes everlasting peace.

25. SAY "I LOVE YOU".

Especially when you wake up and before you go to sleep. Say it for the rest of your lives together. Never ever take love for granted. Express it verbally as well as with action. We all need to hear that magical phrase.

It reaffirms how we feel at that moment. So, fill your lives with millions of moments of love by saying "I love you."

People we love come and go. When we have them let's try to give the best we can offer. When we lose them, accept and be happy at least once in this short life of ours love comes our way.

Though it's painful and risky...keep on loving.

God is good! All the time!

Thank You Orange for this one....

a message to a friend

2005-01-06T09:45:00.000+07:00

There you were in the shadows...
seeking for something you know, you'll never find
I asked you, "why do you keep in doing this?"
You said, you have to.
Why go blindly, when you know you're
going to stumble and fall?
Still, you said you have to.

I offered my hand.
Then you said my voice was enough to guide you.
Stil you continued forth.
Until my voice was hardly a whisper to you.
I didn't want to leave.
I had to shout.
So that you'd realize that I was there.
I never left.
That you were never alone.

I guess you knew...
Even before you knew
that you had to do it your way.

Now I understand
that you had to be in the shadows
to appreciate the light ahead.

Goodbye Jeff.
Till we meet again.

Sheils

this was written by a common friend of ours for the late Jeffrey Wernher "Boko" Gonzales. May you rest in peace sire!!!

THE FIRST SECRET

The Power of Thought.

Love begins with our thoughts. We become what we think about.Loving thoughts create loving experiences and loving relationships.Affirmations can change our beliefs and thoughts about ourselves andothers. If we want to love someone, we need to consider their needsand desires. Thinking about your ideal partner will help you recognizehim or her when you meet him or her.

THE SECOND SECRET

The Power of Respect.

You cannot love anyone or anything unless you first respect them.The first person you need to respect is yourself. To begin to gainself-respect ask yourself: "What do I respect about myself?" To gainrespect for others, even those you may dislike, ask yourself:"What do I respect about them?"

THE THIRD SECRET

The Power of Giving.

If you want to receive love, all you have to do is give it! Themore love you give, the more you will receive. To love is to give ofyourself, freely and unconditionally. Practice random acts ofkindness. Before committing to a relationship ask not what the otherperson will be able to give to you, but rather what will you be able to give them.The secret formula of a happy, lifelong, loving relationship is toalways focus on what you can give instead of what you can take.

THE FOURTH SECRET

The Power of Friendship.

To find a true love, you must first find a true friend. Love doesnot consist of gazing into each other's eyes, but rather lookingoutward together in the same direction. To love someone completely youmust love them for who they are, not what they look like. Friendshipis the soil through which love's seeds grow. If you want to bring loveinto a relationship, you must first bring friendship.

THE FIFTH SECRET

The Power of Touch.

Touch is one of the most powerful expressions of love, breakingdown barriers and bonding relationships. Touch changes our physicaland emotional states and makes us more receptive to love.

THE SIXTH SECRET

The Power of Letting Go.

"If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you it'syours, if it doesn't it never was." Even in a loving relationship,people need their own space. If we want to learn to love, we mustfirst learn to forgive and let go of past hurts, and grievances. Lovemeans letting go of our fears, prejudices, egos and conditions. "Today I let go ofall my fears, the past has no power over me- today is the beginning ofa new life."

THE SEVENTH SECRET

The Power of Communication.

When we learn to communicate openly and honestly, life changes.To love someone is to communicate with them. Let the people you loveknow that you love them and appreciate them. Never be afraid to saythose three magic words: "I Love You." Never let an opportunity passto praise someone. Always leave someone you love with a loving.

THE EIGHTH SECRET

The Power of Commitment.

If you want to have love in abundance, you must be committed toit, and that commitment will be reflected in your thoughts andactions. Commitment is the true test of love. If you want to haveloving relationships, you must be committed to loving relationships.When you are committed to someone or something, quitting is never anoption. Commitment distinguishes a fragile relationship from a strongone.

THE NINTH SECRET

The Power of Passion.

Passion ignites love and keeps it alive. Lasting passion does notcome through physical attraction alone, it comes from deep commitment,enthusiasm, interest and excitement. Passion can be recreated byrecreating past experiences when you felt passionate. Spontaneity andsurprises produce passion. The essence of love and happiness are thesame; all we need to do is to live each day with passion.

THE TENTH SECRET

The Power of Trust.

Trust is essential in all loving relationships. Without it oneperson becomes suspicious, anxious and fearful and the other personfeels trapped and emotionally suffocated. You cannot love someonecompletely unless you trust them completely. Act as if yourrelationship with the person you love will never end. One of the waysyou can tell whether a person is right for you is to ask yourself: "Do I trust themcompletely and unreservedly?" If the answer is "no", then you mustthink very carefully before you make any type of a commitment.

ano ang napapatungo sa kinabukasan

sino ang mga taong sa tabi ko?

ano ang aking halaga sa buhay?

paano maiintindihan ang mga tanong sa buhay kung ako'y

mistulang nawawala sa kasagsagan

malabo ang aking ibig sabihin

ako lamang ang makakaintinidi

kahit ihip ng hangin at simoy ng unang buhos ng ulan sa himpapawid

ano ang dapat makamit?

parang halaman natuyot sa paglimot diligin

ang gulo! nagdadaanang sasakayan sa paligid

mistulang walang humpay ang daloy

ihahambing sa agos ng tubig at isang palito ng posporo

buhay ng tao ay madaling makitil

isang iglap lamang ang buong sangkatauhan

ay maglalahong parang lobo

kelan? saan? paano? bakit?

yan ang mga tanong mahirap sagutin

ano ang ating lugar sa mundo?

ano ang nakasaad sa palad ng isa't isa?

paano natin makakamit ang ligayang nag iintay?

kelan? saan? paano? at bakit?

i just finished the book tuesday's with morrie which i started reading last night.

i know this some kinda old book and most of you i believed already read it. but i just wanted to ask if it strucked you deeply as i am right now? i felt distraught after reading it, i cred after. it's like the wieght of the world is on my shoulders.

i felt like all past trooubles/problems of my life slowly crept out of my mind and the book made me realize what i've been keeping all these years.

i picture my life as a angel, carrying the load of the world and never ceases to smile. my friends say that i should tell someone about this, but i know i can't, i fear rejection. no one will understand or should i say no one can understand the thoughts in my head, the feeling of pain that haunts me up to this day, the burden of knowing that i'm alone with my battles.

stop right there! don't ask me why not tell someone? why keep that inside? and this is my answer... once i tried opening up. i tried giving insights on what i was thinking and feeling but i was just shoved aside. my thoughts and feeling where crushed...

maybe i just spoke with the wrong person or the timing wasn't right but nevertheless because of that certain incident i'm now having a hard time opening up. i hide all dillemas at the back of my head and just put up a cheerful facade so that no one will ever notice.

the only true happiness i get is when i wake up in the morning seeing cheska(my daughter) getting ready to go to school and going back after a days work to the confines of a rented condo seeing her greeting me with a smack! that's life! and wonderful it is.

that is why people associate me as carefree, happy go lucky, prankster or joker sa you will. but none of those really describes me. when i'm alone(which seldom happens) i'm just quiet, thinking and sometimes mumble. i talk alone. i do monologues. am i crazy? am i loosing it? i hope not!

QUEUE! QUEUE! QUEUE!

2004-11-06T03:05:00.000+07:00

WOW! my callmaster is flashing like christmas lights on a tree. this is one helluva night i never felt so tired with my work! ARGH!

poked in the eye

2004-11-04T13:18:00.000+07:00

ever experienced being poked in the eye by a hanger? well i have and it's f@*#%ng painful. i keep watering my eyes with eyemo just to ease a little pain but it's not working. the sleeve on my shirt is now wet with the continuous wiping of tears from my eye.

Argggh! to some this might come as a laughing matter but to me it is no joke! sobrang sakit talga! pero come to think of it, nakakatawa nga.. ahihihihihi!

long wait is over

2004-11-02T22:10:00.000+07:00

the long wait is over... i'm now a level2 technician here at MSN IATS VOICE!!! WOHOOOO!!

it's already my 2nd day and i feel like shit! i have this killer cold that i acquired last night. damn! my nose hurts but sleeping was a blast. i soon left the office after work and went straight home. just changed and immediately lied down. woooh! i had one good sleep, my daughter kept on kicking me but there is no way that she can wake me up ahahaha!

work is actually alright, we get QandA calls and some escalation calls but what i fear most right now is being stupid among the L2's. i kept asking the mainstay L2's about instructions about a certain step and what to do..i feel stupid!

A SOULFUL RELATIONSHIP

2004-10-22T13:34:00.000+07:00

An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, andafter you marry, close one eye.

"Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust,desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem, make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourselfthat you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren't really important.

Once you decide to commit to someone, over time his or her flaws, vulnerabilities, pet peeves, and differences will become more obvious. If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you've got to learn to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you. You and your mate have many different expectations, emotional needs, values, dreams, weaknesses, and strengths. You are two unique individual children of God who have decided to share a life together.

Neither of you are perfect, but are you perfect for each other? Do you bring out the best in each other?

Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete, compare, and control? What do you bring to the relationship? Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain? You can't take someone to the altar to alter him or her. You can't make someone love you or make someone stay.

If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and "a life", you won't find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain.

Manipulation, control, jealousy, neediness, and selfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving, healthy, loving and lasting relationship! Seeking status, sex, wealth, and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relationship.What keeps a relationship strong?

Communication, intimacy, trust, a sense of humor, sharing household tasks, some getaway time without business or children and daily exchanges (a meal, shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, a note).

Leave a nice message on the voicemail or send a nice email.

Sharing common goals and interests. Growth is important. Grow together, notaway from each other, giving each other space to grow without feeling insecure. Allow your mate to have outside interest. You can't always be together. Give each other a sense of belonging and assurances of commitment. Don't try to control one another. Learn each other's family situation. Respect his or her parents regardless.

Don't put pressure on each other for material goods. Remember for richer or for poorer. If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect, dishonesty, and pain replace the passion. The difference between 'United' and 'Untied' is where you put the I (you). It is indeed, where YOU put yourself in the situation.

Goodluck and Godbless!

2004-10-20T22:58:00.000+07:00

i am held, frozen
by the beauty that is you
and for every motion of your words
that come upon my heart
for what is to love?
but to bask in your sunshine
and hear you silent voice
that always soothes my being
and even if our love's equality
may not be,
though it be sad,
i shall hold what love you have
to give

for when passion takes its toll
i shall be the knight
to hold
i'm watching you! says:
what love you have
to give
for when passion takes its toll
i shall be the knight
to hold you in this sweet reverie
of you
and your splendor

i was reading the october issue of cosmo magazine when i came across the article of dra. margie holmes about premature ejaculation. i was engrossed about the article and i decided to research some more about the said sexual dysfuction. premature ejaculation occurs when a man reaches orgasm and ejaculates too quickly and without control. in other words, ejaculation occurs before a man desires it. it may occur before or after beginning foreplay or intercourse. some men experience significant personal distress because of this condition.

damn!! this is one serious shit!! imagine cumming immediately after penetrating the woman's love nest.. that ain't good!!

sadly, study shows that 1 out of 5 men suffer from premature ejaculation which is not bad because it is the easiest sexual dysfunction to deal with said dra. holmes. usually, the underlying cause is psychological. stress, depression and other factors that affect mental and emotional health can aggravate this condition.

hmmm... this is interesting. and the funny thing about this symptom is the medical solution on how we can corect the problem. here are some :

squeeze technique - ff a man senses that he is about to experience premature orgasm, he interrupts sexual relations by squeezing the shaftof his thingy using his thumb and two fingers.
take a pill - delayed orgasm is a common side effect of certain drugs, particularly those used to treat. this type of medication is given to men who experience premature ejaculation, it can help to postpone orgasm for up to several minutes.
creams - available that can partially anesthetize (numb) the man's thingy and reduce the stimulation that leads to orgasm.
use a rubber - the parachute thing that you cover your dick with so that nobody gets preagnant.

either of these techniques may interfere with the pleasure experienced during sex. makes me wonder if i am experiencing this symptom. well there's one way to find out.. to have as much sex i can. wahahahahahaha!! joke only, my wife won't permit that.. ahahahaha!

i remember the movie "finding forrester" which starred Sean Connery a writer who went into seclusion. he was accidentally found by an african american basketball star of a local highschool.

for those who have watched it, will understand how hard it is to think and write all at the same time. but what i remembered about the movie is when Sean Connery was talking to the boy he told him to "punch the keys! don't think!", if you think about it, blogging is all about that. you can write whatever you want, whenever you want, whatever that comes out of your head.

punch the keys! punch the keys! punch the keys!

another shitty day!!!

2004-10-19T21:13:00.000+07:00

sigh! just woke up and got the same feeling that this day will just end up as shitty as yesterday! ever feel deprived on something? well i have, and seems that it's been part of my life's routine. i have no problems with routine, but if the routine is depriving me of happiness then it's not a routine worthwhile.

just spoke with my pakner just now thru MSN Messenger and i was telling him that i'm having a hard time writting posts here, that i have this thoughts in my head but i dunno where and how to start.

ALAS! i can see a picture now in my profile. WOHOO! thank you timber!!

CRASHING...term used by someone who underwent a night filled with Electrifying Energy due to Parteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.(if you know what i mean). today is not a good day for me. i've been like this after i got back from La Luz. BV or bad vibes i should say, there's a lot going inside my head right now too many to mention. it's like having a bee inside your head working working working and the problem is, i dunno where to start. it's like numbers, letters and images zooming in and out of my brain that makes me nauseous(tama ba spelling?) at times and sometimes in a brink of crying. i'm not ashamed to cry, and besides it feels better.

i want time to stand still

just for a moment or two

to make my mind still like water without a ripple

tired to think, tired to speak and too tired to move

i think my day is picking up. i just cleared the mechanism again.

guess who?

2004-10-17T00:06:00.000+07:00

lot's of head guess who's the girl in this picture... ahihihi...

aprub!

Thumbs up!! hokay sa horayt! yun nga lang may dalawang unggoy sa background.. wahahahahha!

2004-10-16T23:51:00.000+07:00

there's someone missing.....ME!!! :(

due to demand, i've attached a photo of the team who went to La Luz. the sad part is.. I'M NOT IN IT...huhuhuhu

coming home

2004-10-16T12:54:00.000+07:00

sigh! just got back from the beach and it was great! had a blast! the place was over-rated though, but overall it was nice. damn pebbles! ahahahaha! the entire beach are filled with pebbles, no sand just those damn pebbles.

the trip from La Luz Beach Resort, San Juan, Batangas was great! i drove ernest's 1991 honda civic hatchback all the way back to Manila. I tested that damn car to it's limit and it worked pretty well. the star toll in Batangas is one helluva highway but if i may comment on one thing, i noticed that there is not a single light post in the star till highway. who could've thought that with a car like ernest's it can reach to a speed of 160kph. for some people that's not fast but for the 3 people inside that small car it seems like riding a bullet train.

16 people off to have a vacation.... indeed they had one.

getting tired.. i'll just continue the story

alone, one and silent

2004-10-14T04:35:00.000+07:00

sitting by myself
awaken by the noise no one else hears
finding answers to questions
that seems far to reach
pain inside, like a shadow waiting to creep all over, like memories wanting to go back to life
memories that lasts 6 feet under
all i want is to be alone, one and silent to rid the pain that blocks sanity within

anticipation turned into disgust - clear the mechanism

2004-10-14T01:38:00.000+07:00

oooops!! anticipation turned into disgust! it's just weird that people agrees to something then all of a sudden changes their mind. just hope that my day brightens up!

CLEAR THE MECHANISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the day before the trip

2004-10-14T01:07:00.000+07:00

it'll be one more sleep before our teams trip to La Luz Beach Resort in San Juan Bantangas(YEHEY!) at long last a well deserved outing for ernest's team. beach, sand and sun!! WOHOOOO!!

while reading the blog of my good friend and pakner john allan timbreza, i decided to make one myself. the title of my blog was inspired by a book that i started reading again.. the red badge of courage written by stephen crane. the book was just lying inside my locker for ages now and i decided why not finish it since i already read half of the book. ahahaha!!

well this will be a start of a series of exciting blogs from me. ahihi and i thank my pakner for that... see you around...
