Still trying to go the distance

Tomorrow, the battle continues. But after tomorrow’s episode, I’m not yet halfway to the end. I’m lifting everthing to Him. Lord, thy will be done.

Here’s the thing. Don’t expect anything. Just give your best shot in everything that you do.

Whereever You Are

This became one of my favorite songs when it was released in 2004. But when I needed to clean up my PC of all MP3s, I lost this. Out of the blue last week, I suddenly remembered it. Good thing my friend still has the MP3 so lately, it’s back in may Fave playlist hehe. And yes, I listen to it several times a day. :) Can you blame me? It’s a beautiful song. :D

Whereever You Are
Southborder

I love to see the ocean's beauty
And the moon that shines above
Alone in the sand looking at the stars
Wishing someday I would find true love
Would it be nice to see the morning
With the one you love the most
Would it be nice to say goodnight
To the one you hold so close
To your heart
To your heart

Chorus:
The wind that blows the dove
Is the wind that blows my love
Hope it'll find its way to you
Wherever you are

I love to sit in fields of green
Looking deeply through the sky
Watching birds as they fly by
Hoping someday fate will bring me true love
Would it be nice to hold someone
So dear, near to your heart
I love you from the one that you love
that you love

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
I'd love to see myself one day
In the arms of someone
Who will share her life with me
selflessly.. someday...
You will find your way... to me...

Repeat Chorus

The magic jacket that lead to revelations

My teammate and I were having our kwentuhan session last Friday when he suddenly mentioned something about me and someone being soulmates! LOL. As in LOL. A few minutes later, he did something to the jacket I was wearing. Di ko na lang i-eelaborate dito haha. Pero ewan ko kung anong nakain nya at ginawa nya yun. I just laughed some more. When I did not stop, he suspected something so he transformed into Boy Abunda and asked a lot of questions (for a guy, ang dami nyang tinanong. Chismoso hihi). Ayun, napakwento tuloy ako sa kanya about that same someone (itago na lang natin sa pangalang sk). Ano nga bang meron kay sk? Crush ko sya. Period.

That was the first time I opened up to a guy about matters of the heart. Though I have guy friends in my ICOF, I was not able to do that. Siguro dahil mas makulit at mas persistent lang talaga si “Boy” (yep, for now, si Boy muna si teammate ko hehe) sa mga tanong nya haha. Anyway, though it was totally new to me, it was fun sharing it with him and answering all those questions hihi.

One good thing that came out of this was that, I was able to explain clearly why I don’t like being paired with one of our teammates. Ayaw ko talaga. But the only reason I tell them is that naiilang ako. Pero it’s more than that. At least I was able to tell him the real reason. Sabi nya gets na nya so hopefully, he’ll stop teasing me hehe (at yung pasimuno sana tumigil na rin :p. babatukan kita pag di ka pa tumigil hehe).

Statement of the day

sabihin mo kung tayo na

Amp! Hihihi

Off to home sweet home

Since we did not have any activities for Outdoor last weekend, I took advantage of it and went home. I left Manila at 4 PM so I was already there Friday night pa lang. Mas maganda pala yung ganon hehe. At may mga taxi nang willing maghatid hanggang sa amin kahit sobrang gabi na yifee! Pahirapan nga lang minsan. I left for Manila Tuesday morning na hehe.

Anyway, I was so looking forward to just staying at home in bed all day but unfortunately, we had visitors! Wahuhu. I became an instant yaya to my cousins, nieces and nephew. I asked them to perform so that I could take videos and pictures. At kailangan every after performance nila, panonoorin nila ung video or pic ng paulit-ulit. Tuwang-tuwang nakikita mga sarili nilang nagwawalaa. Mga adik hahaha. When they’re not camwhoring, they’re playing, watching TV or doing videoke using the VCDs I bought years and years ago. Akalain mong buhay pa pala yung mga yun. At tinatawag na lang sila kung kakain na. yung isa kong pinsan, tinuturuan ako ng laro nila. Tinatawanan ako pag di ko makuha. Hmp! Hehe. Kainggit maging bata hehe.

My youngest niece is already attending Day Care school. Mas sociable na ngayon. Di na nahihiyang kumembot hehe. Pero marunong pa rin magselos. :p Nakita lang na buhat ko yung pinsan ko, masama na tingin sa akin. Asus. Saka lang ako kinausap uli nung binuhat ko rin sya.

Monday was friends day. I met with my elementary friends kahit pa malakas ulan hehe. Yung isa, more than two years na yata kaming hindi nagkikita to think na nandon lang naman sya lagi hehe. We agreed to meet at 3 PM for coffee. (Dati pagabi na kami nagmimeet para sa night life. Iba na ngayon.) Kwentuhan lang tungkol sa buhay-buhay at reminiscing of the past hehe. One of my friends can’t accept na ganito na kami katanda wahaha. At least isa sa amin may lovelife wuhooo. Ayaw nga lang magkwento ng details hihi. Basta I’m happy for her. Much as we’d like to stay longer and exchange stories, kailangan na naming umuwi at around 10 PM dahil pare-pareho kaming nakatira sa malayo sa town na mahirap maghanap ng taxing willing maghatid don. Nakailang para ako bago pa may umoo sus. I can’t wait for our next meeting. Syempre nakasalalay na naman yun sa akin kung kalian ako uuwi.

Though it was tiring, it was still fun. Hope you had a great time too. :)

:(

:(. Dunno why. Maybe I just miss home sweet home. I wanna go home and I want it soon. Huhuhu.

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky, I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonightI’m coming back home

Honest Mistake…

It really was! Hihihi! But to my colleagues, it was the best honest mistake ever wahahaha. Anyway, here’s the story. Tonight was the team’s Mid-Year Rewards and Recognition party so we booked a room at Elbow Room. Our IT director joined us for him to get to know the team better. It was supposed to be a night of partying and having lots of fun but unfortunately for some of us, we need to be on night shift for the yearly mid-year conversion. By 10:30 PM, we had to get back to the office so I went around to say goodbye to the team. Then I approached our IT director and told him we were going ahead. He acknowledged it then bent down his head. I really thought he was offering it for cheek to cheek so I offered my cheek as well then turned to leave. In the middle of the room, I realized that maybe the reason why he bent his head was that he hadn’t heard me wahahaha (he’s tall, that’s why). I was so embarrassed that I suddenly ran out of the room. Some of my teammates witnessed it huhu. Some had fun laughing at me, others were really shocked they just stood still staring and maybe digesting what had happened wahaha. Ok, enough of that. I’ll just cross my fingers that what happened will not affect anything work-wise.

I was really having fun tonight. There were other moments as well :). I hated to leave just yet but duty calls. And this honest mistake pushed me further to leave as fast as I can wahahaha.
