GRRR!!!
I'm in one of those moods again... one where everything seems to go wrong or turn out to be not what you expected... seems that everyone is getting on my nerves including my "boss". I can't even seem to do things right today, even my on-line practice typing exercise seem to have some glitches.
Hay naku, where is that chocolate when you need it?

this one's for you chi
Due to a request from my beloved sister (who wants to read more entries from moi), I am "forced" to write / post an entry least that she will have one of her "angelica pickles" mood. (hehehe chi, joke lang)
Anyways, I haven't been posting much lately due to the fact that I was:
1. busy with my "racket" of summarizing business / inspirational books for the past few weeks.
2. practicing my typing skills (i need to achieve at least 45 wpm) for job applications... I do hope to get my dream job late this year or next year... by then I would be ready to pass the typing test. But till then, its got to be practice, practice, practice.
3. there has been nothing to comment on lately... I feel that my brain cells had ceased functioning due to 2 years of government service. hehehe, but actually, I just want to "chill out", play mindless computer games and watch tv.
There you are chi, reasons why I haven't posted entries as regularly as I used to. Will try to do better next week... hmmm, on the other hand, mama and papa are arriving next week and I might just take that vacation leave (baka wala kailangan nila ng alalay) and crash on their "nth" honeymoon. Wadya think? hehehe

MIB (aka anti-vandermort club)
MIB... the acronym for men in black will now be used by the "anti-vandermort club" and will be referring to Malditas In Black. (thanks ainee for the contribution)
Just like the Men in Black, the malditas creed would be to guard the world (ie. the world that we know of and our family) from aliens who are out to terrorize the populance and / or who are out to decieve. It is our duty to protect and serve the family and to guard against the "sweet talk" and other devious manuver of the "alien".
MIB's creed and by-laws is still a work in progress... will welcome any suggestions.

another day in the farm (!)
It's day four of the government's four day work week... another loooong day at the office... another day coming early for work and going home late. I wonder if this will really translate to savings for the government and the employees. I also wonder if having only four days of service will be beneficial to the economy or if it would translate to opportunities lost?
What will the "cute" government think of next? When will the experiments ever stop?
-------------
Since I don't have work tomorrow, I might as well:
1. Clean house / bed room and / or bathroom
2. Learn to cook a new dish
3. Veg out at home
4. Watch a movie or visit a friend
5. Look for part time job
I wonder which one will be more cost effective for me...

Another day in the farm, another day of chaos... just an ordinary day in the Philippines

loving each other: some solicited advice
I got this from a friend, thought it's worth posting / sharing:
Don't think in terms of forever. Think of now, and forever will take care of itself.
Grow up together, constantly.
Expect to invest a great deal of time and energy in your relationship. Lasting relationships don't just happen, they are created.
Recognize that all relationships cannot be forever. Recognize their temporary quality, but continue to act as if they are permanent.
Respect the other person's relationships apart from you. If they are important to the one you care about, they should be important to you.
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
Take your time.
Remove price tags from people. Everyone has worth; the excitement lies in the discovery of their value.
Don't be afraid of giving. You can never give too much, if you're giving willingly.
Don't feel as if you are required to spend every waking hour with those you love. Move aside from time to time and allow them a separate space too.
Never force anyone to do anything for you in the name of love. Love is not to be bargained for.
Don't be afraid.
Don't overanalyze your relationships.
Realize that you always have choices. It's up to you.
Remember that a relationship is a pooling of resources. It means that with each relationship you are not only giving, but you are becoming more.
Don't allow relationships to burden your heart; rather use it to become more aware and sensitive.
Don't smother each other. No one can grow in shade.
Don't lose in touch with the craziness in you. This, with a large dose of caring, will assure that your relationship will never be boring.
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
Don't hold on to anger. they steal your energy and keep you from love.
There are times when you want to give up on a relationship but never give up on relating.
Learn to listen. You don't learn anything from hearing yourself talk.
Expect what is reasonable, not what is perfect.
Write down all the reasons why you love each person you relate with. Then, when the going gets tough, take the list out and reread it. It resolves problems quickly.
After an argument is over, forget it.
Don't become involved in pettiness, ego and childish hurts. Those will only serve to degrade your relationship and prevent closeness.
Learn to bend. It's better than breaking.
Since love can be created, there is no reason to be loveless.
Even though you are only half of a relationship, you must remain a whole person, apart from the relationship.
Remember that moral and spiritual values don't restrict, they protect.
Don't fall in love with love, you'll die with its complexities.
Don't allow your relationships to die of neglect.

a fable on trust and friendship
A hound having started a Hare on the hillside pursued her for some distance, at one time biting her with his teeth as if he would take her life, and at another fawning upon her, as if in play with another dog. The Hare said to him, "I wish you would act sincerely by me, and show yourself in your true colors. If you are a friend, why do you bite me so hard? If an enemy, why do you fawn on me?"
No one can be a frined of you know whether to trust or distrust him.
------------------
How true... Trust is the foundation of any relationship -- may it be friendship, love or otherwise.

i'm getting married
After years of roller coaster ride, my world suddenly came to an unexpected halt last nite. Right in the middle of dessert, i got the biggest surpise of my life. A beautiful diamond ring was hidden in the dessert he prepared especially for me -- my favorite chocolate dessert... yum yum... As he got down on his knees, it seems that the whole world stopped and all i could hear was my heart pounding...
He took the ring, held my hand and said... Hoy, umaga na! Gumising ka na at malelate ka na sa work!
Hehehehe... April fools!
