Happy New Year

"Hapinyunyir", I'd jokingly greet the eldest Ate online...

"HAPPEE NEWWW YEEEEEEAR!!!", I'd scream and shout while jumping like there's no tomorrow... I'd try to beat the noises from the neighbors' firecrackers and like every year, wouldn't accept the imminent defeat.

After a couple of minutes, I'd go settle down... have a peaceful media noche (what we call the feast at midnight, in celebration of the switch in years) with my family, take a few pictures, maybe go check some stuff online, then retire and welcome the first morning of the new year feeling lazy after a few hours.

Up until now, I haven't really thought of how I celebrated and welcomed the new year... never thought of it much as a routine. But it sure seems like one, I've come to realize.

Oh, but this new year, I'd be welcoming the new year without my partners-in-crime, i mean partners-in-screaming. 'Te Yin's in Italy while Coy's in Tagaytay.

Oh, looks like it's going to be a much more tranquil year.

...weird.

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

2008 is ending soon...
It's been a good year...

I thank God for a lot of blessings... I've gone places, literally. =)
Work has brought me to Davao, and I've finally set foot on a small part of Mindanao! I'm definitely coming back... to Mindanao... it's Davao and beyond.
Work with the Gen had me go visit Tagaytay -many times this year-, Baguio -a new record for this year too-, Pampanga, and Palawan. For those trips, with the exception of Palawan though we didn't go much beyond Puerto Princesa, I haven't really gone around much. I'm definitely going back to visit Palawan!
Tourism... it's been a good year, I've had tourist-y moments, and lots of them!
Got to visit Cebu with Desi, HongKong with my family, Cebu again - plus Bohol - with Doki and Kirs, and Canyonwoods in Laurel, Batangas with the HMs.

True, I may have spent quite a sum -not as much as you think though- but, I enjoyed those trips with family and friends! Disclaimer: I don't earn a lot -yup, it's waaaay lower than you imagine- but I sure saved a lot.

I'm CERTIFIED KURIPOT, except when it comes to those little trips. Whatever I save, I also give to those in need, it's all good... there have been donations sent to Unicef (which I have to discontinue to give to other orgs which need it more), One LaSalle (promised, yet to be picked up), etc. I promise you, whoever you might be, if you give part of what you earn, it comes back... you wouldn't even imagine how come you've had money both saved and given.

Am sooooo looking forward to what 2009 has in store for me.

P.S.

Sa mga kaibigan kong babae:

Hehe...

it's a happy day :)

last week, strong words were exchanged between me and a friend... turned out, we misunderstood each other a lot regarding her current relationship with someone...

personally, as long as she's happy and the relationship doesn't get in the way of work, i'm okay with it... i was happy for her, yes, but not ecstatic as she thought i'd be... i mean, come on, i saw it coming... with all her stories (told with too much details until i told her i didn't want to hear much about it anymore) about how the guy made her fall for him, when they became "official", the element of surprise just wasn't there... how could i be ecstatic?

in short, we had a spat about it and it wasn't good... not so Iya...

we both uttered words which both stabbed our sensitive innards! we bled, yes, and that day, we didn't talk to each other.

the next day, i explained myself in an e-mail (it had a lot of cuts so as not to stab her more) that's supposed to expire a day after reading... i told her that what i said was uncalled-for.. blah blah blah... i didn't see her that day... maybe she was sick.

we didn't talk after that... but i invited her to lunch everyday... using an instant messaging program, one day we went like "we're going to have lunch, are you hungry?" "no, i just had breakfast, thank you" "ok, we'll go ahead"... SOOOO FORMAL and SOOOO NOT NORMAL!

yesterday, i was "kakain kami... sama ka?" "no, kakakain ko lang, thanks" "okay"... BETTER, MUCH BETTER!

anyway... a week has passed since our lunch incident/argument...

i spoke to her casually a few times... it's been like this for a few days... she has been holding back... because she was hurt maybe, but i didn't want to bear grudges so i went like usual, just less crazy: invited her for lunch, relayed phone messages...

then... this afternoon... a message pops in my screen "penge chocoflakes"... thank God for chocoflakes! hahaha

gave her what she asked for... even had to stand up to get the container from another friend's work area... anyway... next message from her was this:
"thank you......... and i hate you"

true, i knew it... i did all i could for her not to hate me and left her all the choice...
with a smile, i typed in and sent her "i know"...

and we shared a laugh! that sure made my day! maybe there still isn't 100% peace on warland but there is hope.

and most of all... i'm glad she hated me... she hated me for bringing in something she couldn't resist, chocolates! she hated me more for that than for what happened... she hated me for bringing in something that would make her not hate me as much as she wanted to...

with a smile, i told her through an IM that she has to resist chocolates tomorrow for I have more at home and i certainly would be bringing that tomorrow!

she told me that she missed me...
and though she also called me "adik!", i'm perfectly fine, because that's the closest thing to normal than it has been in a week.
i'm happy!

happy, happy, happy... peace has come... all because i have entrusted this to God...

siomai... Fare increase ‘inevitable’ -- LTFRB

shux, if kaya lang, lalakarin ko pa-office, pero malayo... lagi na ko nagbabus, pero mukhang tataas ng todo ang pamasahe ko nito... pag umabot ng bandang P40 a day, baka ikahinayang ko, pero ano bang kaya kong gawin? hindi ko naman na ma-take magMRT... mas mabilis, malamang mas mura, pero!!! marami na ngang magnanakaw, siksikan pa sobra, na parang hindi na naplantsa ang damit mo pagpasok ng office.

HAINAKUUUUUU

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

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view/20080704-146446/UPDATE-Fare-increase-inevitable

EXCERPT:
Piston called for an P8.50 fare for jeepneys for the first four kilometers and P1.50 for the succeeding kilometers.

ATOMM is calling for an additional P10 to the final rate of taxis.

Meanwhile, Metro Manila buses are asking for a P12 fare for the first four kilometers and P2.15 for the succeeding kilometers for regular buses, and P14.50 for the first four kilometers and P3 for succeeding kilometers for air conditioned buses.

happy!!! :) ... pero, naloloka na ata ako

I started the day at the office kind of unsure of what to do... Not that I didn't have work, but... today the bosses are gone and there's an unspoken rule called "PEPSI day"...

Excerpt from a colleague's email:
P - Pauwiin nang maaga ang staff.
E - Enjoy your movie
P - Pindot pindot your Friendster all day long
S - Snack time sa area o sa 9th floor without time limit; and
I - Iuwi ang laptop.. hep hep.. hindi para magwork.. kundi para
mag-games, manood ng DVD or VCD..
But really, PEPSI day came from this Pepsi tagline way back when:
"THE CHOICE IS YOURS"

And yes... am in jeans, though I brought a pair of office pants just in case I have to work at the client's office or in case someone scolds me for inappropriate office attire.

Yung mga taga-audit at taga-tax, all casual... pero dito sa advisory, ilang lang ang naglakas-loob magpaka-pasaway kasi!

Yup, I feel so much like a pasaway right now! Yung isang partner in crime ko, nagpalit na ng pants!

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

Anyway, I visited an online-networking account (one of the many I have to keep in contact with so many people all over the world, I personally know most of them... it's my Friendster account that's a bit messed up, I did not get to know Andres Bonifacio personally! Promise!) and there was this one scrap that made me happy for unknown reasons...

Basta!

Who could ever imagine that orange juice could make you happy?! Hehe... ang saya kasi nung photo ko na may orange juice taken at La Luz Resort, Batangas... summer-y.


Anyway... I checked my homepage on the same online-networking site and saw that I forgot to edit some photos I uploaded! Jusko! It had me writing some stuff on the sand... stuff not in our usual alphabet (yep, am not referring to vocab... alphabet... as in chinese, japanese, greek, basta not our usual ABCs)... Naalala ko lang na di ko na naasikaso nung nakita kong may comments! Talaga naman... na-impress sila kahit na pangalan ko yun at 2 characters lang yun... Pero! Waaaaah, inupload ko pala yun dun?!

Hai naku...

I feel weird.

I'm happy because of orange juice and I'm embarassed because of sand.

hindi aasenso ang mga manloloko...

Hindi aasenso ang mga manloloko.

Hindi ko rin sasabihing 'sana makarma sila'... Pero sana makunsensya sila...
Sabi ng isang officemate ko, hindi raw aasenso ang ganun.

May practice sana sila Yin ngayon ng song para sa Family Day ng Isla Lipana & Co./PricewaterhouseCoopers. Medyo natuloy naman... Nandun si Yin, si Ruthie -isang kasamahan-, at si Steph -anak ng partner ng Transactions Services ng PwC Financial Advisors na si Ms. Jade. Sino ang wala? Ang kapatid ni Shalla na si Samantha, aka Lalai, 8 taong gulang, at maggigitara! (buti pa sya)

Pumasok kasi si Lalai sa school at yun ay natatapos ng 5.30. Umalis naman sila ng bahay ng medyo mas late pa pero mga alas-siyete, o siguro pasado, nakaabot na sila ng LRT sa Buendia-Taft.

Matagal silang hindi nacontact. Namatayan ata ang kapatid ni Shalla ng telepono.

Bago mag alas-nwebe, nakakain na kami ni Yin ng hapunan, binisita namin si Steph sa opisina ng nanay nya na wala noong panahong yun at parating pa lang galing Davao. Sinabihan ko, "magpahinga ka muna, mukhang inaantok ka na". At ang diretsong sagot ng lola nya, "umiyak yan, hindi inaantok". "Po, bakit?" "Tinawagan ng Daddy, susunduin na raw sya, eh gusto pang mag-practice" "Aaaah"...
Nakakapanghinang makakita ng batang naiiyak.

Sa totoo lang, naawa ako, kasi simple lang naman ang gusto ni Steph, magpractice ng kanta.

Nalungkot ako.. ilang minuto ko ring inabangan ang mga kapatid ni Shalla sa labas, sa likod na pinto ng Philamlife, sa harap... tapos umakyat ako ng walang dalang magandang balita dun kay Steph.

Tapos sabi ko kay Shalla "Pano yan?". Ang sagot naman nya, "Hayaan mo. Kung kailangan na nilang umuwi at magpahinga, ok lang... Kasalanan naman ng mga kapatid ko" Napaisip ako, pano kung naliligaw na pala? We can't put the blame on others lagi, di ba? So nagtext back ako, "Try mo ulit i-contact yung kapatid mo, hindi mo alam naliligaw na pala".. AT YUN NGA!!!!!

Umikot-ikot na sila... bumaba ako ulit nung sinabi ni Shallang malapit na raw ang mga kapatid nya at abangan ko ng siguro, may dalang pambayad.... In short, natagalan pa rin sila... hanggang nalaman naming nasa harap, sinundo namin ni Darrel.

Nadiskubreng P320 ang binayad nila sa taxi! RIDICULOUS!!!!! Galing lang sila ng LRT-Buendia. Sakit sa ulo! Inikot-ikot lang sila...

Kung ako ang driver, kung di namin parehong alam ng pasahero, di ko isusugod. Kung di alam ng drayber o pasahero, magtatanong ako sa paligid. Pero hindi ako yun.

Sana lang hindi ako kukuha ng kita ko sa iisang kliyente lang sa pagitan ng panloloko.

Paano tayo aasenso sa pag-iisip na paurong?

wit bread

hmmm... was thinking...

sabi ni Kim kahapon (she's representing our group next Saturday sa Miss Sportsfest)...

"Iya, can I borrow your wit for a while?"

Ako naman... "..." (huh?) "whaaaat?"

Wala lang... what is wit, really?
Shux... naturingan ba kong witty kasi lagi akong may comeback sa makukulit na tao at ang labas eh makulit din ako na halos laging nagrereact... basta may maisip, sasabihin... madalas panggulo, minsan pangungulit, minsan sadyang Iya lang ang dating?

I know... Sometimes, I'm just... so... me... mi-hihihi.

This is from wikipedia: Wit is a form of intellectual humour. A wit (person) is someone skilled in making witty remarks.

Ahhh... yun pala yun... (As if di ko alam)

Hehe... nakakabobo na to... matutulog na ko... wit ka pa jan...
WIT?! WIT BREAD?!?!

hmmm... wit bread... food for thought... coming soon... how soon? ewan.

this is cool...

On Valentine's Day...

I don't know if this is being bitter on Valentine's Day... but I thought of this on the way to work:

It was a nice love story (and I enjoyed it) but it's just that... a story.

I don't know if that's too harsh... but it may be some kind of a defense mechanism.

 

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

 

Anyway... 7 years back, I know I have been really hard on one person (who at that time, I really liked)... On the eve of Valentine's Day, he asked me out (He was someone already courting me at least four months then.) but I told him point-blank, "I'm sorry, I already have a boyfriend."

 

Yup, you might say, "How insensitive!" or "How harsh!"... I didn't think of my actions then. I was such a silent killer, maybe even flirty at some point. I replaced him, who was already so special to me that time, with someone much more insensitive to me.  That insensitive someone was more vocal with his feelings so I thought "Yeah, why not?" but that creature was something that only had computers and gaming in its mind.

 

 

 

To the person I hurt, an open letter:

 

 

Dearest friend,

 

I am so sorry for what I have done seven years back. I regret doing it. I really am sorry.

 

If I were to fall in love, I would definitely be hurt if someone did that (or something like that) to me. Maybe it took me seven years to realize how grave that was, but I hope it's never to late to tell you that I really am sorry.

 

I value our friendship and I thank you for always being there.

 

Happy Valentine's Day!

 

Love,

Iya

 

 

Whew!

On a lighter side... today is my Lolo Val's birthday!

 

If he were alive, he'd be 102. On his work papers, he'd be 100! How cool is that? A hundred-year old granddad! :)

 

Dear God got my Lolo a week before his birthday in 1994. He was 88. He was a Lawyer who served the Philippine National Bank as a VP in Visayas (I think). He survived two wives.

 

That's my Lolo... Valentin M. Dulce, Sr.

 

 

Wait! How cool is this? I googled Valentin Dulce and I found these:

DULCE, VALENTIN M.; Admitted to the Bar on December 02, 1941.

--->I guess, yup, that's him

 

and a case... (I have to read this) against my Lolo & Lola among others?

32 ways to make a girl love you

1. Dont hug her friends or your friends that are girls cause she'll feel left out.

2. Hold her hand at any moment . . . even if its just for a second.

3. Hug her from behind.

4. Leave her voice messages to wake up to.

5. Wrestle with her :)

6. Don't go hang out with your ex when shes not with you, you might not realize how badly it hurts her.

7.If you're talking to another girl, when you're done talking, walk over and hug her and kiss her.... let her know she's yours and they aren't.

8. Write her notes or call her just to say "hi".

9. Introduce her to your friends . . . as your girlfriend.

10. Play with her hair.

11. Pick her up......

12. Get upset if another guy touches her and she doesn't like it.

13. Make her laugh.

14. Let her fall asleep in your arms.

15. If she's mad at you, kiss her.

16. If you care about her, then TELL HER!

17. Every guy should give their girl 3 things: a stuffed animal(she'll hug it every time she goes to sleep), one of his sweatshirt/hoodies (she'll wear it everyday), and a pair of sweatpants (she'll most likely wear it to bed).

18.Treat her the same around your friends as you do when you're alone.

19. Look her in the eyes and smile.

20. Hang out with her on weekends.

21. Kiss her in the rain (girls love this).

22. Kiss her just for the heck of it.

23. If your listening to music, let her listen too.

24. Remember her birthday and get her something, even if its simple and inexpensive, it came from YOU. it means all the world to HER. it's the thought that counts.

25. When she gives you a present on your birthday, Christmas, or just whenever, take it and tell her you love it, even if you don't (it'll make her happy).

26.Always call her when you say you will, it may not seem like it, but it does hurt her and makes her think you don't care so call even if you can only talk for a minute. Girls don't necessarily have to have hour-long conversations every night but its nice for us to hear your voice even for a quick hello.

27. Give her what she wants.

28. Recognize the small things . . . they usually mean the most.

29. tell her shes beautiful, she needs to know her striving is working.

30. Hang out with her whenever you are free and u should be free to hang with your girl friend all the time.

31. If u care about her...SHOW her!


32. give her ur jacket when she is cold. when it starts to get hot, she will never take it off.

Io non capisco perché è molto facile per me amare, innamorarmi, aaaargh non so la parola!!!!

Grats update...

It was nice spending the weekend with someone who was leaving for the Gen School... Aside from it being a moment to do green and to get to know each gen better, it was also a moment of yellow building among us this great Jesus in the Midst and a moment too for reassuring Grats that we are always with her.

Sunday, Yin and I didn't know what to do, what time we're going home, how we're going home, etc... All Sunday plans... We went lang with the flow (this is not always advisable but this Sunday is a bit different, hehe)... Woke up early, medyo matagal kasi kami gumalaw sa morning, so we showered before everyone else woke up, then helped prepare breakfast. After breakfast, there was this letter-writing frenzy, took the opportunity to live Violet and reassure those I know in Loppi of my unity (Oops, I remembered... I din't write pala to Wedy). After that, we had the Mass, keeping at the same time in our hearts that we still had to finish the letter for Chiara and that we ask the light from the Holy Spirit so we can give her a short but nice letter from all of us.

After the Mass, most of the Gen left na. Yin and I were left with Nita, Grats and Jasmin... I tried to see where I could help while being undecided as to where to go to after Lauretana. After a while, medyo past lunchtime na and Nita & Jasmin tried to grab some lunch from upstairs, tapos na kasi yung mga married externs. While we were starting lunch, Grats' family arrived... Grabe, she was moved talaga. She didn't know her sister was coming kasi Sunday was one of the four crucial days she had to stay home for (so as not to get any bacteria).

At first, we thought, if we brought Grats by car, kasya kaming lahat, with Cendi driving plus Nita & Jasmin. Pero with the family there, I had to lose that idea, ok lang, at least ma-assure ko sya that she can count on me.

Bandang four o'clock, the family insisted that we tag along... eh di ok! Hundredfold! Kasi we weren't expecting it anymore! :) Leaving the Lauretana, the pope were there, waving at Grats! Ang galing! Prang nandun talaga yung buong zone!

Medyo nagsiksikan kami dun sa sasakyan na hiniram nung family ni Grats pero ok lang. Medyo feel mo lang that they were all stopping themselves from crying. At the airport, medyo mabilisan lang, pero we were there to assure her of our unity and the family was there to assure her that they were always there, continents away nga lang. :) Her nephew Steven cried, di tuloy masyado nakaiyak yung mom nya. Then she entered.

They waited na maka-check-in sya ng maayos (through SMS) then they asked her to go to the airport restaurant where we also were. After that, yun na, final goodbyes, and they were all crying. It was a bit sad to see someone leaving but at the same time, it was nice knowing that she'll have a very beautiful adventure ahead of her. :)
