young heart
rainy days bring back the old nostalgia along with that dusty smell, faint memory of running under the rain. racing heart, ibet you miss that too. maybe it's time to get out. get crazy and have my heart beat in a different stroke. i'm highly hopeful. xoxo

Christmas Blues
Blue is not the color that describes it, it should be RED; bloody red, passionate red. However, the convention bans the use of the color RED to represent a sad depressing feeling although mine is much more complicated than that. Not a single day of this joyous Christmas season passed by without me crying a bucketful, maybe I'm just being selfish, maybe this is all wrong. IT IS WRONG. but the pain is real. why now? I dunno. I really dunno.

sharing
I'm beginning to learn the true essence of giving and sharing. baby steps. I'd be lying if I tell you it's all voluntary, and it gives me nothing but pure joy. but it's a start. :)

ok. new year's resolution post.
i think the problem is, as i grow a bit less younger, i tend to compromise more as our wiser older people once warned once upon a time. OMG that wasn't a myth.
the sad thing is: we used to dream. maybe because we used to think so much of ourselves. or maybe because we had so much more to do, achieve in life. maybe because we were not so realistic back then. oright, pessimism aside, i think it's now time of my life to construct the new year's resolution just so that it can remind me how much more i am capable of -not even achieving but- dreaming. realizing those dreams are possible now but we tend to cage ourselves and lock us up, just like those carriage horses whose eyes are blocked sideways so they wouldn't even dream of running elsewhere but straight.
ok, long intro there. let's start dreaming! :D
1. start studying accounting again!
2. get promoted within this year :D
3. visit US and decide where i should take the board exam.
4. go to at least 3 foreign countries.
5. start exercising for real!! (lose weight in HEALTHY way)
6. pack healthy snacks to work. fruits and veggies and yogurt and nuts :D
7. read financial magazines on my expense (makes me really read it. haha)
8. more praying. write prayer notes once a week.
9. save at least 10% of my gross income
10. learn to drive (in the nearest future!)
11. do not stay online for more than 2 hours basically doing nothing.
12. help and give back. (continue the family's weekly contribution for the poor)
as we all know, FOLLOW UP is very very much much important.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D

finding J
and so, just when I was going through one of the toughest and most confusing time of my life, He sends me my mentor to talk to me.
she: you are like in your 30's or something. act your age.
me: everyone tells me that. am I that stressed out?
she: you act like you've experienced everything in life and now just wanna rest. be outrageously spontaneous and do crazy things. like you should.
me: aha. (thinks...)
it's like, I forgot how to enjoy life.
she: find joy in your life. be generous to yourself. you know what I do? I wake up each day, I pat myself for being the wonderful me. the pretty me. haha.
me: i guess, being the first born, I took all the responsibilities and thought... I SHOULD be doing all these cuz im the eldest. and now, I know im gonna regret it in the future. I'm not being fair to myself.
she: see,that's what I'm talking about. I did that too for all my life, until I realized... my dad's becoming powerless because I'm too good at what I'm doing. i took over even his responsibilities. sometimes, parents need reminders. that we are, after all, their daughter.
me: whoa. you're right.
she: He wants us to be happy. God created us to enjoy all aspects of life in Him. I mean, we, are like all these pieces. there are good ones, and bad ones. when bad ones surface, we sometimes wouldnt accept them as US. but He did, He accepted the WHOLE us. so it's like denying him when we do that.
me: ohhhhhh.
she: so if you need to go to the Philippines to be happy, then do it.
me: I'd really really be happy then. :)
then the talk continued for 2 more hours, with good laughs and good burger, fries and sundae+brownies.
and today, when i went to church, the words that this pastor from New Jersey told us was to be happy. cuz He wants us to.
i guess the sign is clear. :)
i need to stop sacrificing my happiness for the others.
bit of sleep, ill be there soon ... ^^

my missing kidney
I just discovered last month, that I'm missing a kidney.
No, I wasn't abducted in the middle of the night and had my kidney kidney-napped,
my cousin who came last month to meet me told me over a drink, that I was born without a kidney.
WOW.
that explains half of my life. the exhaustions, more than normal hours of sleeping, frequent feeling-under-the-weather conditions.
the mystery tho, how come alcohol doesn't affect me? what would have become of me if I were to have BOTH my kidneys?! I can only imagine.
well, it's just sad to know that I can't donate my kidney anymore when my loved one suddenly needs a transplant in the future. (I watched too much soap)
- just felt like sharing something about my kidney after reading LC Kap's post. hope you're OK LC, and happy birthday to my batchy CARLA.:)

photo blogging
It wasn't a sunny day.
steadily raining. but the excitement just could not be contained.
Pinas.
I was on my way home.
Just like that. on my way to you.
I wonder how it all started.
But because of the sheer excitement, I couldn't eat, drink, or think straight.
Two pitchers of Zombies later after the touchdown,
I was with my best people in the whole world, Bes Lovely, Batch Carla and Jay.
I care about them so much that it bothers me.
(I know you miss me. bati na tayo bes and batch.)
lunch with the sisses and -then neophytes- latest batch :)
and the grillllliiiinnnnggggg.
:)
Phi Delta Alpha Sorority, Supremacy at 53rd. Just wish I was there on the anniv week itself, but then, they would have been too busy :p Photoshoot was great. I missed my batchmates so muuuuch. LC Mommy!!! Thanks for the wonderful SATC story and just for being there. :)
Super thanks to my seaweed turned S guru turned relationship guru IVY BADONG!
Mikko Tamura who's back in UP!
my dearest lil bro SAMMMMM
and Jay :) who was always beside me. :)
gerry's grill+ Toy Story 3 3D+ central + karaoke
superb night!!!!
Ivy, we got em together ;p
But of course, my real purpose of visiting Philippines
was to visit my mom.
It was her first death anniversary,
I wish I made my dad happy even for a little while I was there. Cuz he is still so in love with my mom,
I see his heart breaks every second.
It surprised us all
when everyone who was gathered there
felt overwhelming peace.
It felt good to be there.
Thanks everyone for making my Pinas-back-to-where-my-heart-belong trip extra special.
(Joon, sisses, brods, and all my Korean friends who weren't in the pic)
till October. CHEERS!

dearest orange,
if you're still true to your CIA missions, then i guess you're gonna stumble upon this entry soon enough.
you are the first guy I learned to love. not just in college, you were the first. ever.
i still can't believe you're mine. after all that.
sometimes fairy tales arent really true. so, sometimes, peter pans end up with tinkerbells.
you are my sweetest downfall :)
i love you!!

after the prolonged silence
I decided that I should write in order to remain sane.
ok. that was too dramatic.
I still am struggling with my current job, still trying to transfer work, still trying to make myself a decent social life cause it has been on life support for a year, still sleeping to late and waking up much later.
Although. I'm struggling with the bigger thing now.
After my mom's death, ( I don't really wanna do subtle with her death because it's such a big bold not-at-all-subtle truth) i have been struggling with everything.
Sleeping became more difficult. Lots and Lots of dreaming made me tired even after 12 hours of sleep.
i slacked off, making her death my numero uno justification for everything I fail to do.
oh... that was wrong. still wrong. cause i haven't stopped struggling.
yes i do miss her so much. she often appears in my dreams. still nagging. still that indifferent old mom she was. and in my dreams, i forget that she's dead.
You know what I also drag to my conscience to look up? I never had the chance to give her expensive gifts that I always wanted to give her. now i can. but she's not here. although if she were still alive, could i have given her those expensive gifts? knowing that i still am the Scrooge who's after the little pennies that falls down my pocket?
it's not like me to regret. I had this pride, id never do things that id regret. but this wasn't me i guess, it was the divine intervention. divine intervention indeed because she was having a hard life after all. and that I'm thankful for.
i did not break down in tears after her death. i did not grieve. i did not even attend the funeral cuz i had to be at work. call me cold hearted monster but i had to do what i should do to save the family.
but i am not that monster. because i was affected and i still am being influenced by her death although not as much as I like to be. I am strong. I guess I was raised to be this strong - by none other than my mom. She pushed me to Korea right after my grad. She taught me to be not swayed by much emotions. She wasn't the mother who'd be there for you every time you needed something. she raised me right. yeah she did.
so here's my rant about my mom.
I'm blaming her for everything. this sure is a rant cause there is no organized thought. And to think that i teach my kids to write an organized essay. haha.
i've moved on so fast.
but not completely. i wish i never would.
bye ma. see you.

missed blogging
where is my brilliance(if there ever was) at writing.
people used to read my blog.
now I myself don't even visit my blog. haha.
result of half year Work-Driven-Life and The Rise of the Facebook.

even tho things happen, I dont find such significance in it to leave it in print.or online. whatever
ok, so in a nutshell:
1) I'm planning to quit my job or at least transfer branch. starting this month I get 800dollars less cuz of stupid dumbfounding change of company policy
2) I have a roomate who's 3 years older than me and is preppin up for stewardess interviews
3) I have a credit card again and the limit is not 5000pesos anymore. haha. It's roughly calculated, 100K. oh God. please dont let the shoppaholic in me make its appearance
4) the work gave me retarded kids, sorry guys for calling you that, but you're grade 4 and 5 and im teaching you four seasons and how to answer telephone calls.
5) I'm playing nintendo DS games on my mini laptop these days. bet you didnt know you could do that. haha
6) now have experienced 4 seasons in korea :)
7) still going strong with my dear Kevin :)
i awfully miss soro kaisa college coregroup HIGHschool tapsi sinigang chokiss
well, i miss Pinas in general.
hay. wish i could get into another company that pays me buckets of money and id go to pinas everyweekend. hahaha.
oh how i wish.

good thing about Bundang..
Bundang is not part of the supermetro city of Seoul. It is, however, somewhat better than that. For example. My 'officetel' (Office-hotel) is 3 minutes away from the subway station, mall, got 3 nearby parks, lined up on the side by a river that has perfect bicycle lane that leads all the way to the bigger river up south. I am also 3-5 minutes away from 5 coffeeshops and the problem is... I don't have any friend here to share this with :( Do I sound pathetic? living alone makes you pathetic. I won't lie cuz this is the part where I have to be true to myself after a week of playing a hypocrite. hay. work.

the truth is
.. real world sucks.
everyone knows this and I, unlike the other 'just happy' teenagers, have always FEARED the real world.So I tried to be a student for as long as possible but I was ambivalent, I hated being left behind which compromised to single extended term. I wish to study again, somewhere with FREEDOM, somewhere like UP:) and I will. Real World sucks but when I'm in campus, I live my dream without suffering.
I ...WILL study again.
after this shitty work. i WILL study and get my WORTH even it means more shit. right now, its just plain shit.
oh well. don't judge me for this. I'm not that rational now :)
