Sunday with Nathalie
We then headed to MOA. It was actually my first time to be there. And by the way, today was also my first time to ride in the LRT all by myself... ha ha ha... so glad I did it. See there's always a first time and today I had two-first-time-things that I did.
The place was really big and we haven't even seen the whole place yet because we never got much time to roam. We just kept on walking without knowing where to go.
(above was taken near Toy Kingdom. I just love Winnie the Pooh)
We then watched Resident Evil. Darn that was a fantastic movie and it was fun. I like it.
After the movie we strolled around the place.
Below is Nathalie posing in front of the merry-go-round.
We then had a healthy plate dinner at Kenny Rogers.
That was a yummy dinner.

another day
Mother is in the hospital because of dehydration. How I wish I am there too to take care of her. Thank God I have mys sisters at home to take care of her. They said that she was brought to the hospital around 5 in the morning. Just call them up tonight and I'm relief to know that she's somehow okay now. In fact, I talked to her and she sounded fine now.
On the other hand, I heard from my mother that my brother-in-law did not pass the exam for fourth marine engineer. I feel sorry for him because I know that he really wanted to pass the exam. I learned that it was his second try.
**************
I took a nap in the afternoon and woke up past 5 pm.
Nathalie and I might meet tomorrow if it will not rain. We might go to Baclaran then to MOA.
I hope it will be sunny tomorrow.

Thanks
Have you ever thanked a friend for their smiles?
Their Hellos?
Their taps at your back?
Their way of calling your name?
All of the little and simplest form of love?
Imagine your friends would never do that anymore...
Small things usually go unnoticed but in reality they are always the ones that keeps us going.
Thanks for walking with me.

friends for life
It's just so hard to let go of a friend whom you have shared so much happy, crazy and sad moments. I wasn't able to hold back my tears when I got her text messages. Darn... I hate them for treating her like that. I would surely miss the things that we used to do in the office. The laughters that she shared will forever echo in my ears. The stories that she told will forever be remembered.
I'm really sad that things ended this way but then I can't blame her. I wish her all the best. I know there are much better opportunities that awaits her... of course!
The day just went by as usual although it's still different without her. We were just glad to meet her after shift. We met her at McDonald's together with Mhyre, Ara, Sara and Ana. Susan, Jam and Dhel were also there. If only Dhel was not there then maybe we got the chance to chat with Arlene more. I know the conversation will not be comfortable with Dhel being there.
It rained so hard on our way home. I went home together with Mhyre and her boyfriend (it's good to know that they are back together... I hope they can just start anew and learned something from what happened in the past) Tristan hailed the taxi.
I was partly soaked when I got home. The water on the street was like ankle-high.
It's a good feeling to end the night with a conversation with Belle and Arlene. I was happy chatting with them. It was really a lot of fun not to mention that it was our first time together to chat.
How I love them!
Hope to spend more time with them again. I know that people just come and go and sometimes even friends do. Whatever the future holds, I know that they have made a mark in my heart that time cannot erase.
To Arlene: I know I'll still meet you as I travel this road called life. Friends for life

chat with friends
I chatted with two of my good friends tonight. This is actually the first time that we chatted together.
It feels really so good talking with them.
Angels are so busy that God sent some ordinary people in our lives... those ordinary people are what we call FRIENDS... they may not be angels from heaven but they are angels that dwell here on earth...

sunscreen
I visited a certain blog yesterday and I came across this video from youtube. The content was a little bit familiar though. I guess I've heard it or read it somewhere else... I just can't recall where.
Anyway if you visit youtube try to search for 'everybody's free to wear sunscreen'. You maybe find it soppy or it may inspire you but for me? It inspires me.
Some of my fave lines...
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't.
- I especially love this line because I can relate to it. I admit that I feel bad not knowing what to do with my life.
I'm 24 and still I'm wondering where I'm leading. Sometimes I envy those who know what they really want. Some have already plans as to what they will be in the years to come.
If I'm gonna ask myself what I'll be 3 years from now, I would not be able to answer it or if I could give an answer it would be 'I don't know.'
Sometimes how I wished I could go back and planned something for my life. But if I could just unwind the hands of time, maybe I would still not know it.
Funny how my friend told me yesterday about his plans in life. That in a certain time he will be able to be what he wants. Good for him I guess.
I remember a year ago, while I was out of job, I would often go to the beach to unwind and think about my life, asking myself where would I be in the years to come.
Maybe I'm just being worried and paranoid...
Well, I guess maybe life is really like that... sometimes...it's just so confusing...
What else can I do? Maybe it's just me being me. That's just the real me I guess... confuse and lost... well, it's not that bad to be like me =)...anywayz....
Maybe when I'm 40 life is still interesting... see I'm being optimistic...
Maybe a year or two I'll read this and see what I have become or better yet someone would really be kind enough and remind me this.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't, maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself, either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.
Yeah right... but I still wanna get married and have children and grandchildren. I still wanna grow old with the person I love.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good.
Certainly. No one else can give you true and unconditional love than your parents. Treasure them.
I've never been a really good daughter especially when I was a kid. I guess I've never really shown my father how much I love him.
*****************
(here's the complete copy I found in google)
Everybody's Free
(to wear sunscreen)
Mary Schmich
Chicago Tribune
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '97... wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be IT.
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.
You are NOT as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sing.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't, maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself, either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Dance. Even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings; they are your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen.

just a thought
I love contemplating the thought that it instills in my mind. Here are some of my favorite quotes/ lines.
These are actually from the book 11 Minutes by Paulo Coelho.
In love, no one can harm anyone else; we are each responsible for our own feelings and cannot blame someone else for what we feel.
- That's when we fall in love. We just can't blame the other person for making us fall in love with them. We just simply love them because we were born with the gift of love.
That is the true expression of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.
- True. We don't own anyone else. They have their own life to live and we have our own. Love is embracing the person and knowing how to let go when needed.
Love is not to be found in someone else, but in ourselves; we simply awaken it. But in order to do that, we need the other person. The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with.
- We don't live only for ourselves. Life without love is a series of dull moments and every day is nothing but lost memories.
It's enough just to love him, to be with him in my thoughts and to color this lovely city with his steps, his words, his love.
Really important meetings are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other.
- Maybe destiny is after all real. We just don't meet by chance. There are reasons why we meet along the way.
back then
Sometimes we wish we could go back...
Back to the time when the only man in our life was our dad, our only best friend was our mom, and any pain could be healed by just a band aid and a lollipop...
I guess it's true. Sometimes we wish we could go back to those times when we were carefree and thought that life was nothing but just a big playground where we are free to run, laugh, cry and get hurt.
Those were the moments of innocence. The moments of simple life.
But those moments were long gone. Life changes.
Our pains could no longer be cured by a band aid nor by a lollipop. We shed tears and cry our selves to sleep hoping things will be better when we wake up.
We meet people along the way.
Meet new friends and even lose the old ones. How sad but it's true. But if we're going to think about it, we know that deep down inside we haven't truly lose them... they are just there waiting for the moment when our paths will cross again.
We meet new love somewhere down the road. We got this feeling of happiness and heartaches. We embraced the love that we found and cried for broken promises.
Well, life still goes on with the hope that tomorrow we might find real love. We still hold on to what we believe and what our hearts feel.
Everyday may not be a piece of cake but we never surrender.
Who knows tomorrow might be a better one...
Until then, I'll live my life. Maybe tomorrow you'll be there waiting for me too...
(September 22, 2007 2:24 AM)
another week
I guess days are just passing so quickly. Just living my life one day at a time.
I think Mhyre and her boyfriend is back together again... well, that's love. People fight and make up.
My week was just okay.
Tomorrow is my sister's birthday.
Don't have any plans to go out tomorrow. I might just stay home for a change... ha ha ha

where is he?
Is there really someone who is destined for each of us?
I'm not looking for an ideal man for I know I may not find him. I just wanna find someone who would need me too. Someone who will be happy to be with me. Someone who would like to spend his life with me.
Someone to cry on. Someone who can share my laughter. Someone who will hold my hands. Give me a hug and show me he cares.
Someone who would hold me tight. Someone who would like to walk with me under the rain.
I just wanna find true love.
Where is he?
Is he also searching for me?
When can I find him?
IS every step we take will lead us to each other?
(Sept 21, 2007 1:12 Am)
what am I supposed to do?
It was just yesterday when I was so in love but now I don't know. I still love him but does he really love me? I really don't know. Maybe it's just me who is having this kind of feeling.
But I know that I still love him because he is all the I can think of. Thinking of him makes me smile and makes me feel loved. It's just so hard. Maybe I'll never understand it.
What am I supposed to do?
Does he really love me? Does he mean it when he says I love you? Does he also think of me?
Why is love so complicated?
I wish I know how he really feels for me. I wish I know if he really loves me or not so that I can just move on and to start something anew.
Why is true love so hard to find?
When can I find my true love?
Is he also looking for me?

i love him
Funny because I was actually eating my late dinner (it's actually my second time to eat tonight's dinner and I was really enjoying it and when I saw his offline messages I suddenly lose my appetite.. ha ha ha)... well it wasn't bad because I'm not supposed to eat tonight because it won't be used by my body anymore since I'm about to go to bed... anyways....
I'm just so happy and in love... am I really in love? Yeah, I know I am... it may really sound silly... I can't help it
He said he missed me too and that he loves me.. Oh my! ha haha ... what can I do? I'm just a girl... and I just want to be in love... and he made me fall for me...
There are just so many reasons why I love him. Things between us maybe full of uncertainties but I know I just have to cherish the moments.
I guess he just touched my life in a way that no one has ever done before. Silly as it may sound but if there's someone whom I would want to be with that would be him.
I love him even though I don't really know him that much... just like the song goes.... it's real love...
P.S. He's my LOL
