hi peepz, gosh long time no hear .. well, as usual, ...my work, studies and other responsibilites has taken over my life in cyberspace. anyway, at least am back... my blog today will be different kc we will be talking 'bout my friend, hahaha... don't worry i asked for her consent na...basically, i was inspired with my friend's story kaya i decided to blog about it .....so here's her story......my friend doesn't have a boyfriend and in fact last valentine's day she decided just to work kc naman daw boring ang v-day nya... she always has been a " good-girl" kaya she never tried to go out for a date...but last feb 19, 2006, she didn't realize that this will be her lucky day... anyway, she finally said yes for a date with this half indian ,half irish guy who seems following her anywhere she goes. it was a rainy, windy sunday and they met at the tube station. the plan was to got to leicester square but that day,there were barickades and police stationed to the whole square because of the BAFTAS awards night.he wanted to go to ' yates ' bar and they spent about 2 hours there. he drank two glasses of lagger and she drank two glasses of white wine which she said she never had that much in her entire life. she was very tipsy and chatty and they just talked about anything, i.e, music, food, holidays, etchetera....etchetera...he asked her if she wanted to watch a film and she agreed. they were both tipsy yet managed to spend time watching the movie... after an hour or so, he asked her to have dinner... my friend was having a second thought because all she wanted was to go home and be in bed... she was starting to have a terrible headache and everything around her seems spinning around.but because he was so sweet with those expressive eyes and cute smile she has no reason to said no... they both then stopped for two more bars... he had another lagger, 2 smirnoff ice and she had 2 glassess of orange juice then they headed to the RESTO.after the dinner, they went home... my friend was so delighted with her night with him but curious if they will see each other again... she never tried to date a british born guy ever since so she doesn't know if this is the end of it... she asked what i think and i told her just to wait... if he calls her back, it means something but if he doesn't - it means that he is just one of those typical british guys ...i haven't heard anything from my friend since then... only today ( feb 23, 2006 ) when she rang me and said that the guy wants to visit her in her flat...she refused that time coz she will be working that night plus the flat was untidy...well am happy for her coz at least my friend is now ready to take the risk and explore her life.i wrote this blog especially for my friend. she normally reads my blog and in the future if she wants to look back and reminisce that special day, she can just read this over and over again and smile how exciting that day was for her...for u my friend, i wish u wisdom, good judgement, happiness and true love in the nearest future... good luck and God bless !

tita, tito and alain showed us the cardiff shopping centre. we were so excited coz some of the shops were still on sale. we went to levis first and lil' sis was eyeing on this orange jacket and she was thinking if it looks nice to her. she can't decide so i volunteered to wear it and see what she thinks... eventually sis left the shop buying the jacket.

as an appetizer, this is what i did last sunday ( jan 29, 2006 )... joie and i went to leicester square to enjoy the chinese new year...

verdict : a fabulous night and congratulations to the new brits !!!

2005-11-27T23:57:00.001Z

my fourth night shift tonight and i felt so knackered coming to work. luckily the unit is not manic kaya i have the chance to update my blog. this morning i was talking to mom and dad overseas and updated them ' bout my whereabouts recently. i was in bed by 10 am and planned to get up at 11 am so i can watch the X- Factor replay but my alarm clock didn't go off... i was woken up instead by a " call of nature " around 2 pm. i felt so hungry but there was no cooked food yet though there was carbonara and pizza in the fridge. i was sooohh lazy to put them in the microwave so i just took two pieces of brownies and poured a glass of peach juice and brought them to my room. after eating, i was debating as to whether i will read my Sidney Sheldon's pocketbook or return to sleep. i chose the latter however i was tossing and turning and took me 2 hours before i returned to sleep. at 5:30 pm. my senses were woken up by the smell coming from the kitchen... luckily, my sister was already cooking and frying the " boneless bangus " i bought the other day. i decided to have my shower first before having my dinner. i was finished preparing myself by 6:30pm and ate my supper in just 15 mins ... i realized that i spent too much time in the shower kaya tuloy super cramming me sa pagkain ... i left the flat at 6:45 pm to work * sigh * ... at work - the afternoon staff handed to me the bleeps - meaning additional responsibiity tonight. good thing D was around so he can help me in making decisions ( which i know am capable of doing but at this stage i think i need him ) .... going back to my kwento, u know what, i noticed 2 things about myself after doing more than 3 nights ( btw, my body is capable of doing upto 3 consecutive night shifts and if more than that, am really struggling man ! ) ... first, i talked nonsense - like kanina when i was talking to my folks, i was conversing different things - basically, out of the topic - kumbaga flight of ideas - hahaha ... para akong lasing!.... and second, - am very, very, very clumsy !!! ... want a proof ? ... after having my shower - i bumped myself to the bathroom door ( ouch ! ); whilst having my dinner - i spilled the juice in the kitchen floor ( grrrr ! ) ... and last but not the least, the spoon and fork just accidentally flown from my plate kaya ang carpet puro rice ( shame !!! ) ..... so peepz, if by chance you saw me in the highstreet after my night shift and you said hello to me and i just completely ignored you, please don't take any offence ... it's just me ( walking zombie ) .... physically present but mentally absent !!!

tea break !

my FIRST Xmas Gift

2005-11-25T04:42:00.000Z

i was gobsmacked when my lil' sis handed this SWAROVSKI bag to me...

why ??? well who woudn't be ??? when i opened the bag, i saw this blue box and when i opened the box it has a blue velvet pouch and then revealed this sparkling, gorgeous, and elegant NECKLACE from my fav SWAROVSKI shop. W.O.W. !!!

gosh, do i deserve this peepz ??? am sure it costs her a fortune for this masterpiece. huh !

anyway, she wanted to give her Christmas gift to me in advance so I can start wearing it... which is such an excellent idea coz our Xmas party will be approaching soon ! ( duh, am still in the state of shock, coz this necklace is one of my gazillion hot wants this Xmas ! )...

so pipol in the hauz, if u saw me in the mall or somewhere, go and check my SWAROVSKI necklace, and if it's there, yep it's me !!!

and don't forget to come up and say hi !

And to my lil' Sis, thanks for this fabulous present ! luv it !!!

" my hairy day "

2005-11-17T22:33:00.000Z

gosh, been a while since i visited my hair salon that's why on my two days off, i've decided to treat my hair !

the last time i had my hair done was last july when i went back home.. of course i have to grab the opportunity in Phil while things were cheap. unlike here in london, a haircut will costs me £ 40 ( 4,000 PhP ) and a hair colour with hot oil about £ 80 ( 8,000 php) excluding tip pa ( huh ! ) .... so what i normally do, i wait for four to five months before i have my hair cut and colour so my previous hair colour was really faded !

so yun nga po pipol, yesterday i had my hair trimmed. i wanted a bit shorter pa sana but the hair dresser advised me to keep my hair long kc daw lovely ang hair ko ( really ??? )... ako naman po nakinig, kaya when i went home my lil' sis didn't even notice that i had my hair trimmed kc daw haba pa rin nya ... ( tsk , tsk ! sabi ko na, di dapat me nakinig sa hair dresser eh ! )

well, today, i woke up very excited kc i'll have my hair tint naman. i want to have "chestnut brown" para different from my previous colour na "light mahogany with highlights"... am happy naman 'bout the end result...see above....what do u think ?

so peepz, yan po ang aking two-day -hairy-day ! .... i feel alive again !

leaving do !

2005-11-14T22:36:00.000Z

nov 11 was joie's leaving do after working more than a year at hammersmith/charing cross hospital. she asked me if i can join her so that her friends will be able to finally meet me ( coz every nite out, joie was always asking me to go with her coz her friends were very keen to meet me but i always have excuse not to go, nwei this is it now ). we arrived at Smollensky Bar and Restaurant around 5:30 pm and the place was already packed with her colleagues from administration, physiotherapy dept and occupational dept... it was big crowd and it only proved one thing.... how popular my sister is ! i was told by them that my sis had a very special leaving do party and the ehad of the department even have to make a heart warming speech especially for her ! good thing i videod it ...well i was actually impressed how much they love and value my lil' sis... i never seen such a group with so much appreciation with the works she've done. i have to make a special mention to charlie, nimisha, mary, jenny and chris coz they have been extremely wonderful to her... am sure this won't really be a goodbye for her to them .... i hope the friendship they established will continue to grow !!! hats off to you lil' sis !!! and the best of everything !!!

my auntie cynthia and cuzin alain visited us last last nov 5 and stayed with us for two days...

the weather that time was horrible.. on nov 5, it was very chilly but we still manged to tour around using " THE BIG BUS " and visited some of the known tourist attractions, i.e BIG BEN, LONDON EYE, THE PARLIAMENT, and TRAFALGAR SQUARE ...

on nov 6, the weather was even worst as we were exploring the city with cold winds and heavy rain . despite this untimely weather, we still managed to visit MADAMME TUSSAUDS, TOWER BRIDGE and ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL. we then decided to go home early and just watch DVD instead.

on nov. 7, last day of their visit, and very ironic coz the weather was just so perfect for touring... the sun was shining and the cloud was clear.. unfortunately, they have to wave goodbye to the city of london ... nevermind, their visit was still worth it as i finally met tita cynthia. ..

am back

2005-11-12T23:46:00.000Z

hyah everyone !!!! my gosh it has been a while since i dropped by at my site .... well peepz, as usual, yours truly has been extremely busy with my life's demands kaya ngayon lang po ako nakabalik...

DAY 02 : OCT 19

AFTER TWO DAYS OF REFLECTION, NOTHING MATTERS MORE THAN KNOWING GOD'S PURPOSES FOR MY LIFE, AND NOTHING CAN COMPENSATE FOR NOT KNOWING THEM - NOT SUCCESS, WEALTH, FAME OR PLEASURE, WITHOUT PURPOSE, LIFE IS MOTION WITHOUT MEANING, ACTIVITY WITHOUT DIRECTION, AND EVENTS WITHOUT REASON. WITHOUT A PURPOSE, LIFE IS TRIVIAL, PETTY AND POINTLESS - THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE.

I KISS THE WOUNDS IN YOUR SACRED HEAD WITH SORROW DEEP AND TRUE,
AND I PRAY THAT ALL MY THOUGTHS TODAY MAY BE THOUGHTS OF LOVE FOR YOU.

I KISS THE WOUNDS IN YOUR SACRED SHOULDER WITH SORROWS DEEP AND TRUE,
AND I PRAY THAT EVERY CROSS I HAVE I MAY BEAR FOR LOVE OF YOU.

I KISS THE WOUNDS IN YOUR SACRED HANDS WITH SORROW DEEP AND TRUE,
AND I PRAY THAT ALL THE THINGS I DO TODAY MAY BE DONE FOR LOVE OF YOU.

I KISS THE WOUNDS IN YOUR SACRED FEET WITH SORROW DEEP AND TRUE,
AND I PRAY THAT EVERY STEP I TAKE I MAY TAKE FOR LOVE OF YOU.

I KISS THE WOUNDS IN YOUR SACRED HEART WITH SORROWS DEEP AND TRUE,
AND I PRAY THAT EVERY BEAT OF MY HEART BE AN ACT FOR LOVE OF YOU.

DAY 01 : OCT 18

BRIGHTON SEASIDE

ST. BENEDICT'S MONASTERY

AT PRIORY

THE MISS PHILIPPINES ...

I WAS BROUGHT UP FROM A STRICT, CONSERVATIVE AND GOD- FEARING FAMILY . SOMETIMES BECAUSE OF TOO MUCH FOCUS WITH MY CAREER, GOALS AND AMBITIONS, I TEND TO NEGLECT THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON I AM HERE : BECAUSE OF " HIM . "... AS I MATURE, I REALIZED HOW MUCH I NEEDED " HIM. " THAT THERE'S FAR MORE TO LIFE THAN JUST CAREER, ACHIEVEMENTS OR MONEY. TODAY IS THE VISIBLE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. BEING WITH " HIM " IS ALL THE REST I DON'T SEE UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE.

FATHER PETER HAS INVITED ME TO JOIN THEM IN THEIR TWO DAY RETREAT IN BRIGHTON. I WAS QUITE RELUCTANT TO SAID YES INITIALLY AS I DON'T KNOW ANYONE OF THEM. THIS WILL SERVE AS A CHALLENGE FOR MYSELF AND SINCE I ACKNOWLEDGED THAT I NEED SELF MEDITATION ( EVEN JUST FOR TWO DAYS ) THEREFORE I AGREED TO JOIN THEM.

WE LEFT SGH AT 9AM AND ARRIVED IN BRIGHTON AT 11:30 AM. WE DROPPED BY AT THE PRIORY TO COLLECT FATHER HUGH WHO WILL BE THE SPEAKER FOR TWO DAYS. AT 12:30 WE WERE IN ST BENEDICT'S MONASTERY. AFTER A BIT OF REST, WE THEN FOLLOWED THE TIMETABLE SET FOR THE DAY. THE DAY ENDED AT 8PM, AND ALTHOUGH WE WERE ALL KNACKERED, WE ALL SAT DOWN IN THE PARLOUR AND THIS TIME WE ALL CHATTED AND SHARED OUR DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES WHICH WAS SO AMAZING COZ I LEARNED TO KNOW THEM. WE HEADED TO OUR INDIVIDUAL ROOMS AT 23:30, WITH FULL OF SPIRIT, LAUGHTER AND FUN.

Q and A

2005-10-15T01:21:00.000+01:00

Q.U.E.S.T.I.O.N ???
how come my friends always wanted me to cook when they do know that am bad in cooking ?

A.N.S.W.E.R ???
i dunno ! well, it's probably my charisma that drives them to come and visit me in the flat ( bwahahaha ) and eventually force themselves to eat whatever i prepared....and unfortunately get used to my dishes that sometimes too salty or no taste at all... ( did i managed to answer the question ???.... noooohhhh ......

well peepz, that was what i did last night. when " pareng ron " ( charlotte's husband ) found out that i will be off on friday they then planned to visit me and so i was forced to cook... though still knackered from the night shift, i dragged myself to do a quick food shopping and cooked my ever known dish... the one and only " tinola ", hahaha.....

ruel, abi and kuya joined the couple and we all had dinner together. . duh, i never felt so much pressure that night, as i was waiting for them to judge my cooking ( esp everytime they were putting food in their mouth ) .... huh, guess what ??? at least it went well, somehow !!!... and the verdict : not a bad night at all !

so friendz, on your next visit, can we have " take awaY " instead .... wink ***

by the way

2005-10-09T23:25:00.000+01:00

ooopppss, i should not forget to blog about my other inaanak's first birthday ...

the charming, cuddly, chubby in red shirt - the bday boy MIGUEL PAOLO... ( he looks bigger than me !! haha )

nwei, that night was like a reunion for us too, " the second batch of filipinos " who arrived here in London...

that's all peepz ! see yah next time !

what does your birthdate mean ?

2005-10-09T21:22:00.000+01:00

Your Birthdate: July 15

With a birthday on the 15th of any month, you are apt to have really strong attachments to home, family and domestic scene.

The 1 and 5 equaling 6, provide the sort of energy that makes you an excellent parent or teacher.

You are very responsible and capable.

This is an attractive and an attracting influence.

You like harmony in your environment and strive to maintain it.

You tend to learn by observation rather than study and research.

You may like to cook, but you probably don't follow recipes.

This number shows artistic leanings and would certainly support any talents that may be otherwise in your makeup.

You're a very generous and giving person, but perhaps a bit stubborn in ways.

hectic week

2005-10-05T21:59:00.000+01:00

i was sooohh stressed last week that's why it took me a while to visit my blog . now peepz, am back and hopefuly things will be better now... nwei, this was my story....

FRIday NIGHT ( 30 Sept )

i discovered that there was a mistake in our payroll department and my name was not in the system. felt so hepless coz i can't do anything becoz it was end of the week.

SUNday ( 1 Oct )

the unit has only one patient and becoz of that i need to go to another department to help out. it was a nice day anyway, had the chance to meet some of the staff in our department.
MONday ( 2 Oct )

a supposed day off but have to force myself to wake up early so i can sort out the problem with the payroll. went to the hospital, was disappointed the way this lady dealt with it, even felt more disappointed when a couple of people in the unit made funny remarks out of it. at the end, i sorted it out however went home very knockered.

TUESday ( 3 Oct )

back to work ( longday ), somehow refreshed and back to my normal self. decided to treat my friend tony coz of the effort he did last saturday. i ordered a take away food from pizza hut and we had meat feast pizza, barbecue chicken, potato wedges and baguettes. josh, osang, rosalyn, and doc wendy joined us too.

WEDnesday ( 4 Oct )

another day off but spent the whole day on my bed, ( as usual, hahaha ). well it was not my fault, it was the postman's fault. today , i was expecting for a parcel ( special delivery ) at 11 am and been waiting for it and it arrived at 2pm. he ruined my day coz am supposed to go out and meet someone at sgh then do a bit of shopping ( to unwind from the hectic week ) and then do our food shopping. but none of these things happened. nwei, i wish i can sort out my schedule this friday and accomplish these due responsibilities. that's all folks !!! wish me luck this coming week !!!

Mwaaahhhhh

You love to kiss under the stars or by the sea

The perfect kiss involves the perfect mood

It's pretty common for kisses to sweep you off your feet

my inaanak's first bday

2005-09-21T23:45:00.000+01:00

today am working just early shift, not in ccu but in cath lab. after 2pm in cath lab, i met my manager in the unit for her to do my IPR. we finished early and i then decided to hang around so i could check my emails.

after work i then headed to the venue of my godson's first birthday, IVAN ZEPTH ... coz i was asked by anna ( Ivan's mom ) if i can help out in doing the decoration which of course i did say yes. it was fun decorating the hall ( ie setting up the balloons, cakes and ' pabitin ') and i feel like a child again.

we did very well,( i think ) in decorating the place and i then meant to go home to change to my party attire but edward and osang were insisting for me to stay and that my outfit was fine for a children's party. well i was a bit tired too to travel so i didn't mind to keep my after-work-outfit.

the party started 2 hours after the planned time ( FILIPINO time still, hah ) and whilst am savouring the sumptuous meal, i was also enjoying watching those gorgeous little kids playing around. how i wish i can have one .... ehem, ehem... i meant how i wish i can play with them ( i bet super react na naman si cel, hahaha ).

bad diet tonight

2005-09-16T22:29:00.000+01:00

joie and i usually dine out every weekend. if we are indolent to leave the flat, we have collection of resto's telephone numbers available in our area, so we can just ring them and hooray, no mess, no fuss, the food we want will be in front of our door in an instant.

blimey, it is only friday but i feel like eating a take away food. i kinda fancy eating something rich in fat, duh, bad!bad!bad! well, it has been a while since i had this so why not satisfy my craving tonight.

there you go, after attending a friday night mass at st boniface, i went to tooting highstreet and bought chicken and chips, cheese coleslaw and seedless watermelon....hmmmmm, yummy !

never mind the nutritious meal tonight, at least i enjoyed my dinner ! (burp** - pardon me! )

Iam a GIRL....

2005-09-12T21:20:00.000+01:00

When a GIRL is quiet, millions of things are running in her mind.
When a GIRL is not arguing, she is thinking deeply.
When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions, she is wondering how long you will be around.
When a GIRL answers "i'm fine" after a few seconds, she is not at all fine.
When a GiRL stares at you, she is wondering why you are lying.
When a GIRL lays on your chest, she is wishing for you to be hers forever.
When a GIRL wants to see you everyday, she wants to be pampered.
When a GIRL says I love you, she means it.
When a GIRL says "i miss you", No one in this world can miss you more than that .

Dinner with Friends

2005-09-08T23:48:00.000+01:00

Today is our Mama Mary's birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !

early shift lang ako today, si cel off , si eden free and si joy walang leaving do party na pupuntahan kaya sa flat na lang sila mag di dinner.

ang tanong, sino ang magluluto??? of course ang inyong lingkod. maaga pa lang kinakabahan na ako... pressure po ang feeling dahil ngayon lang ako magluluto para sa iba...joy is used to my cooking so am not worried. but to cel especially eden, my gosh kakahiya kung hindi masarap.

PREPARATION:

i cooked tinola and pork igodon ( na parang adobo) for our main meal and fruit cheesecake and ice cream as our dessert. the table was finally ready by 7:30pm.

JUDGEMENT TIME:

cel,eden,joy and osang were at least able to swallow the tinola... yummy daw! ( oh baka takot lang magsabi ng totoo baka kasi mapalabas ko ng flat ,haha).

DESSERT :

whilst we were enjoying our cheesecake and ice cream, joy started a game. kung sino daw ang mag english lalagyan ng drawing ang face. dude, bigla kaming tumahimik. hirap pa lang mag tagalog ng deretso. si joy a.k.a ligaya, eden a.k.a paraiso at cel a.k.a marya ang naparusahan....ang inyong lingkod nagkaguhit ng isa at ang nagwagi ay si osang. ang konklusyon : pinaka maraming guhit sa mukha ay si ligaya, bwahhhaaahhhaaa .......

i love this night, had the chance to have 'heart to heart' talk with my bestfriend. si eden and edenrose bonding din bout computer naman.

PACK UP :

i ended my night reading 'The Purpose Driven Life' and with a prayer,.... thanking God coz im so blessed with a lovely family and friends.

NITY NITE ........ ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZ

smiley EXPERIENCE

2005-09-07T23:55:00.000+01:00

I have been a consistent visitor in a dental clinic. it is becoz i was so careless when i was young and now it's pay back time....duh!
i have been wearing braces for long time now. thanks god, porcelain braces were invented and that's what i have right now. it costs me a fortune but at least it's not too noticeable like the silver ones.

as u can see, i have the model of my teeth pre application of my braces. if u look at it closely, im sure you won't like it,

i had an xray done as well. according to my dentist, i have impacted teeth in upper and bottom gums, not a good candidate for surgery because it is too risky. scary !

different SMILES

2005-09-07T23:07:00.000+01:00

LONDON BOMBING

3 tube stations, 1 bus ...

terrifying ... scary ...

winning bid

2005-07-06T18:50:00.000+01:00

it has been an amazing feeling from 12:45pm onwards in LONDON as the country won the Olympic bid for 2012 over New York City, Spain, Moscow and Paris. The atmosphere at Trafalgar Square was utterly warm and everyone was embracing one another and throwing champagne.

peeps i suddenly feel like i was a real-grown londoner kasi when the IOC President was about to open the envelope to announce the winner, I was shaking as if im such a fully pledged brits,hahaha....

but it was a nice feeling to be excited again and knows that you have something to look forward in the future... mind you by year 2012 i will be 34 years old...

my presentation ...

2005-07-05T15:19:00.000+01:00

peeps i was trying to relax for my presentation today ... breath in and out ... out and in ....in and out...
i woke up early today to collect my slacks that i sent last friday for alteration ...
i was so worried last night baka kasi close yung place because if it happen, wala akong isusuot for today...
luckily the building was open and i collected my slacks at 9am...
my close friend cel rang me after her night shift and was trying to calm me down... thanks for your power girl...she told me kasi to stop studying my presentation again and again otherwise daw baka malito lang ako... thanks for your advice girl ... kaya what i did was just watch " will and grace " while having my brunch...
i was ready by 11:30 am,

and went straight first to the chapel and said my prayers...
i then headed to the seminar room and prepared the projector for my power point...
12 noon strikes !!! they arrived.....ready to judge me !!!!
i keep on telling myself to relax and just enjoy the time and have fun... iam a computer illiterate but luckily i managed to set up the whole power point system and hooray, all my slides were appearing one by one ....
my presentation finished at exactly 12:45pm... our matron asked for a copy of my presentation... i was so scared because it only means two things : 1.) she liked it OR 2.) for further scrutiny...well, whatever, iam just so glad now that it was all over and done !!!

by the way, thanks for all the special people who sent me words of good luck.... to cel, my sister joy, ron, david, edward, anna,liz, rosalyn, tita cynthia and alain....and most especially from up above , for giving me courage and strenght to face the world!!! i love you all....

whatta fun...

i know what love is

2005-06-29T00:25:00.000+01:00

peeps please STOP... LOOK and LISTEN .... got this message from Ron ...and i just really like it and wanna share this with everyone ... hope you too can pick up something from here....

A part of my worries in life, what else but "LOVE". Of course I'm thinking of it too... I often refuse to love somebody who is trying to open my heart, and when I'm beginning to feel the same, they got tired and had turned their back on me, too sad because i had no chance to say how I feel for them in return... In the end, I am left alone with no one to love... I often ask myself what's too scary in loving a person more than they feel for me??? There are two things often cross my mind; pain of losing somebody whom I have learned to love so much and my "pride", the thought of being fooled by the person who just pretending to love me... I guess it wont be a part of my worries anymore because I finally found someone whom I can trust and love...
I guess GOD made our life very mysterious so that we will always have the excitement and we'll always be looking forward for another day that is full of blessings...
These are the things that gave a big impact to my life... I believe that each day is different from another & life is always full of surprises...we'll never know what we gonna get...so never lose hope...The best is always the one that will come...The things that we thought was our best will be always become our second best...And lastly, no matter how tough we think life is to us, we should still be thankful to HIM and look behind us for there are so many people who are also battling for their own trials in life ... Believe that every hardship we are facing in our lives will be the key to our success... And everything we did will be judged and rewarded in due time...Just take everything easy, have FAITH in GOD and all everything will gonna be okay...God be with you always...

welcome cuzin ...

2005-06-13T20:38:00.000+01:00

it has been a hectic weekend for me but utterly amazing !... why ?... mainly because my cuzin ( cousin ) alain ( from wales ) visited us here in london. peeps let me tell you what we did...

saturday : june 11, 2005

alain was missing !!! yup, i was at victoria station but alain was near the fountain ( landmark he gave me )... i rang him three times and trying to locate the fountain but i have no single clue. now i need to call for help!!!. i went to three possible coach stations in victoria but no alain around. i asked him to describe the building he was staying and eventually,.... hooray !!!! we finally saw each other....

we headed straight away to the tube unluckily the district and circle lines were closed. so we have to find ways to go to house of parliament, london eye ( lundun eyes cuzin ???,hahaha - a joke we tell to each other on our way ) and big ben ( big bin cuzin ?!?! - another joke !!! just between us !!!- hahaha... CEL and ME... he adore the views and after taking pictures, we went to london bridge and it was a relaxing view once again... we rushed after taking different shots coz we have to be at trafalgar square by 2pm to meet my friend - maricel. we arrived there at 3pm and we were feeling the cold breeze now. there i introduced alain to maricel, eden ( cel's fiance ) and cue ( singaporean friend of eden )... we then walked towards buckingham palace BUCKINGHAM PALACE w/ eden,cel,me and cousin !and took more pictures. .. we took more shots at green park and st jame's park friends havin' fun !and enjoyed different funny poses.

now we have to rush back to tooting broadway coz my friends wanted to visit us at the flat and have dinner together. we reached tooting at 8pm and did our quick food and alcoholic drinks shopping at sainsbury ( we decided to DRINK tonight - kasi most of us were off on sunday )... on our way, we ordered chinese foods to be delivered at the flat ( no chance to cook kaya take away na lang - hahaha )...

we prepared the food on the table then myself, my sis, alain, maricel, eden, cue,rosanna and abi started filling ourselves with selections of chinese take aways mga taong gutom na gutom !!!.... followed by vanilla ice cream with banana, brownies and cherry on top ( yummy ! )...

while trying to absord the food we had, we decided to concentrate on watching a film of george clooney and nicole kidman ( everyone was trying to guess the title of the film ).... then after 15 minutes, maricel and rosanna announced that it's 'drinking' time !!! they took the bottles of bacardi and champagne ( ASTI - my ever favorite )...

'ding, dong ! ding, dong! ... tony ( my italian colleague friend ) and jeredy ( tony's american friend ) arrived with a bottle of vodka and red wine ... we were all in the sitting room and my sis prepared the magic microphone and everyone was not too keen to sing as yet. but mind you, when the alcohol started to kick in into the system, tony never let go the microphone and did not even share it to anyone tony kami naman ang kakanta !!!

gosh we packed up at 2am... thanks god, though we were extremely loud that night, no one knocked on our door to reprimand us...

sunday : june 12, 2005

we woke up at 10 am, cooked and had lunch. alain, sis and i were catching up and completely forgot about the time. we then prepared ourselves at 2pm to go to sgh chapel. abi rang me and joined us too. we visited rosanna at work and checked if she was sober after last night.

we then headed to wimbledon ang mag cousin !!!and decided to watch a film . shot pa rin sa cinema. !!!we were choosing between sin city and mr and mrs smith but the schedule for mr and mrs smith was suitable for everyone therefore that was the one we chose...

i wasn't impressed with the movie, we really prefer sin city... anyway that will be the next film to watch....

home at 8pm, we checked our emails, rang cay ( alain's wife ), our dad and mom and then headed to bed by 3am.

monday : june 13, 2005

time for alain to go back to wales. holiday was over !!! sad !!!

i woke up at 9am, cooked and we had brunch. we left tooting at 10:30am and reached victoria station at 11am. we went to a cafe first, i had hot chocolate and danish bread.

alain was quite sad to go back to wales ( which he describes as a mountaneous place ). but he can go back to london anytime again anyway... basta cuzin, study the tube map hah !!!

me naman, went for window shopping and then back to tooting to my own bed and slept as ever !!!! hahaha !!!...

peeps, that was my weekend !!!!

T>G>I>F

2005-06-10T23:35:00.000+01:00

Thanks > God > It's > Friday !!!

peeps today is good for gimmick ( kasi end of the tiring week ) kaya nga i agreed to have dinner with my work friends tonight.

before going to the resto, i had my hair trimmed then did my last minute shopping. ... i was so excited to reach the flat coz i received my first birthday present from vodafone... guess what ???.... a new sony ericsson P910i, free of charge ( yeah ,you heard me right )... with 3 months free insurance pa ( say moh ??? )... gosh, i was gobsmacked when i opened the box.... i was so excited like a child.... jumping for joy ....very elated ...and can't wait to use it and explore its features..but i have to ignore it for now because my friends were waiting in the resto...

my sis and i were rushing to tapanco - a mexican restaurant in wimbledon . when we arrived they were all sitting in the table... david (with his lovely smile), edward (with his flushed face nakainom na ba sya ?), anna ( with her pony tailed hair ), and rossana ( with her happy look )...we ordered big plate of olives as a starter and quickly followed by the main course ...all of us were starving and for a few minutes we just ignored one another and concentrated on our appetizing food. we all drank red wine - it was nice and smooth however i really can't swallow it coz am not a wine drinker... then we ended our meal with a lovely desserts... i had a funky pie with cream and hazel nuts - yummy !

we arrived at tooting around 23:00 hours. i meant to meet up my other friends at one of the bars in tooting unfortunately it was already too late so i decided to just go home straight away. it was a fun day today and we really had a good laugh ...

by the way mga peeps, kainis ang face ko ngayon kasi i have two big, inflamed, angry pimples - one in the middle of my forehead and the other one on the left side of my cheek....baaaakkkkkeeeettttt i still have this....... di na ako teenager ..... kaiiiiinnnnnniiiiisssss !!! nwei, smile pa rin !!!!

back to work...in a different setting ...

i woke up today in a different world, the flat was so clean and smells very fresh... i was so pleased with the state of the sitting room with this new curtain hanging in our big glass window...but ooohhh, dude i've got pains all over my body ... i think i've overdone myself yesterday... my legs and arms were aching ...well, have to prepare myself now for a warm shower and nice day at work...

today i'll be working in a different setting... i was assigned for three days starting today to catheter laboratory mainly to observe for the future nsf plan ... i have no clue what am i going to expect there but hopefully it won't be too bad... i arrived in cath lab at 07:35 am and i was told that i can have my breakfast coz they will have a meeting first ... that was a good start of the day coz really i want to eat - i was so starving ...

peeps, i met all the doctors in catheter laboratory and they were asking what am i doing there ( because they know that i am working in ccu ) ... i worked with two lovely nurses and they showed me around ... it was frightening at first but as the day goes by i kinda adapted with their routine ... i enjoyed my day however i can't wait to go home because my body parts were aching ... my god, i need a nice massage please !!!

whatta day ...

2005-06-07T02:07:00.000+01:00

i woke up at 1pm and prepared myself for a tiring day today. i was behind to my schedule therefore i need to catch up today... well this time - not for my assignments but for my domesticated obligations. dude, can you believe it ???... meeh, thinking of domesticated stuff.???.. well, mga peeps eto na po ang bagong ebolita ...

i headed first to one of the shops in mitcham to buy a 2Liter carton of ice tea..(i mean 'proper ice tea')... mind you i bought four cartons, so it weighs 8 Liters, pero di ko naman po lahat yun binitbit, peeps hindi naman ako si wonderwoman...anyway, iam wondering how come this is the only shop here who's selling this kind of ice tea...kaya tuloy i have to travel pa just for this... we like variety of drinks kaya i normally stock up all sorts of drinks that we can think of and since i discovered this thirst queching drink, i can't help myself not to buy for more.

then i headed to ikea to buy curtains for the flat. i wanted to buy a vase as well for the kitchen but nothing fanciable so i end up eyeing this cool 6 piece ice cream glasses, good for this time of the year... summer ! ....dude, this is the first time i shopped so quick and i was so pleased because i managed to buy two curtains, the ice cream glasses ( pagdating ko kakain kaagad ako ng ice cream para ma binyagan,hahaha ) some gift wrappers ( for future use ) , and towels ( for our future flat guests who may want to sleep over ) ...

then i proceeded to wimbledon centercourt and bought my personal vanity kits ...it was amazing cause i have this special tinting kit that my friend suggested and i'll be trying it tonight too...excited na naman ako !

then i reached home by 7pm and i was still boosting with energy ( thanks to the nice weather too ) therefore i decided to clean the flat, changed the curtains ( hirap palang magtanggal ng curtain from the hook, i nearly gave up but it's too late cause i was in the middle of it ), loaded two sets of laundry, unblocked the bath ( the water was draining slowly recently so we bought this unblocking agent- we'll see if it will work ) and changed all the shower mats and kitchen rugs with a fresh one. huh, peeps ngayon you can call me superwoman!!!... my god, i finished at 12 mn... but mind you, it was fun, i only realized that cleaning the flat is a form of therapy too - but not all the time dude !...

i have done a lot today, but i still have the guts to read my favorite pocketbook - page 247 of
" Can you keep a Secret ? " by Sophie Kinsella... then by 2am i felt tired and my eyes were starting to drop.. so to end my tiring day, i read my " Daily Bread " then said my prayers and slept feeling very fulfilled !!!

gOOgLe me

2005-06-02T03:22:00.000+01:00

mornin' aura wasn't pleasant

cold, clammy, tachydardia...

out of breath, poor concentration

dammit* that was too

much caffeine...

increased water intake

leads to more visit to the loo

damn* damn* damn*

expectations failed

worst performer

can't push self to the limits

rainin' badly

cryin' shamely

nauseated, vomitted

body aches

little girl was lost from this

crazy complicated world

16/05

***

vanquish emotional state

powerless to face the world

nothing left but

shame of self

collapsed confidence

leave her alone

found comfort from bed

embrased with warm duvet

hoping for the best

not prepared for the worst

where is the end of the road ?

where is the missing line ?

imagine an empty life ...

now can't wait to see

the bright sunny light,

pink sky, red moon, white trees,

blue grass, orange mountains

as painted by own imagination

to bring back the cheerful soul...

it's good to have radio at work., it makes your body and mind relaxed despite the pressure around you. anyway, i'm currently listening to my all time favorite song ... here it goes ...

" WHEN YOU SAY NOTHING AT ALL "

by RONAN KEATING

it's amazing

how you can speak

right to my heart

without saying a word,

you canlight up the dark

try as i may

i could never explain

what i hear when

you don't say a thing

the smile on your face

lets me know

that you need me

there's a truth in your eyes

saying you'll never leave me

the touch of your hand says

you'll catch me

whenever i fall

you say it best

when you say

nothing at all

all day long

i can hear people

talking out loud

but when you hold me near

you drown out the crowd

try as they may

they can never define

what's been

between your

heart and mine

you say it best

when you say

nothing at all

you say it best

when you say

nothing at all

the smile on your face

the truth in your eyes

the touch of your hand

let's me know

that you need me ....

instant chicken tikka masala!

any information i wanted...

do u remember when there were no blogs ?

you have to buy a diary and colourful pens to write your

thoughts, opinions, heartaches, etc...

(Sige na nga sis, bigyan kita testi...may pa-friendster friendster ka na din) Watch the evolution of her name from Ediscyll to Ebo to Edi and now Edz (isang tao lang yan). Whatever her name is, she'll always be the same and best person I have. Wherever she goes, I'm following her till here (magkakabit talaga kami ng pusod).She knows when I'm not feeling right, she's also hurt when I'm hurt.More happy when I'm happy.She knows what my needs are.She's family-oriented and selfless.She would do things first for her family before herself.Very sensible and helpful, to the point she may forget to say 'no'(pinapagalitan ko nga yan eh).Would you believe, she's learning to cook just for me, ayaw nya kasi ko magutom,she always prepares my food everyday before I go to work.Ganyan sya kabait at ganyan ako ka-spoiled hehe. However, she's got really mood swings siguro part of PMS hehe.Sis,thanks very much for everything.For good and bad times, we're gonna stick together!!!

i do like this song....check this out

alicia keys

if i ain't got you

some people live for the fortune

some people live just for the fame

some people live for the power yeah

some people live just to play the game

some people think that the physical things

define what's within

i've been there before

but that life's a bore

so full of the superficial

some people want it all

but i don't want nothing at all

if it ain't you baby

if i ain't got you baby

some people want diamond rings

some just want everything

but everything means nothing

if i ain't got you

some people search for a fountain

promises forever young

some people need three dozen roses

and that's the only way you prove you love them

hand me the world on a silver platter

and wondering what it means

no one to share, no one who truly cares for me

some people want it all

but i don't want nothing at all

if i ain't got you baby

some people want diamond rings

some just want evrything

but everyting means nothing

if i ain't got you

some people want it all but i don't want nothing at all

if i ain't got you baby

some people just want diamond rings

some just want everything

but everything means nothing

if i ain't got you

if i ain't got you with me baby

nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing

train ride

2005-04-22T11:51:00.000+01:00

i woke up boosting with energy this morning. i turned on my radio and tuned in to my favorite fm radio station " the capital " then went straight to the bathroom, had my shower and came out feeling refreshed and ready for a wonderful day. whilst im drying myself, im trying to think of a place to go until someone from the radio mentioned about croydon. there you go, problem solved... today i'll be going to croydon....

i used the train going to croydon. alot easier and quicker, no hassle and and in just 30 minutes im walking towards house of fraser department store. i promised myself not to buy anything ( hopefully i can resists leaving the shops without carrying a bag, fingers crossed! )...however, there is an exquisite christian dior bracelet that i saw and fell in love immediately. i can't help myself adoring the style and i really like the simplicity but elegance of it. i have to count from 1 to 10 and take a nice deep breath to tell myself that i don't need it... and went straight out to the door without turning back otherwise i'll buy it..... well done to me, i managed to escape the temptation....

well i decided to go home early today cause i feel like cleaning the flat. what i did, i bought a new set of duvet cover, room and bathroom perfumes, and flowers...yeah, a lot of flowers, ...it never fail to cheer me up...then im back to my train ride on my way home feeling so excited....and proud...for not buying anything expensive...

lazy day

2005-04-21T12:22:00.000+01:00

my first day off out of 4 days... hooraaay !!! been sitting on the sofa for ages, eating profiterolls ( my third bite now,yum* yum*), staring at the ceiling (how come there's no lizard in london?, duh????), watching the telly ( by myself, wish iam with someone,wink*), looking at the magazine ( checking for the bridesmaid gown, yes iam a bridesmaid again! ) and checking my mobile ( no one remembers me, sniff...snifff)...nothing exciting happening today and i decided that today will be my lackadaisical, languorous,lethargic day!!!

exactly 6 months

2005-04-19T23:31:00.000+01:00

it is exactly 6 months now that iam single and available ... not that iam complaining because at the moment iam enjoying being free , however sometimes i feel so alone and vulnerable .... not that no one is asking me for a date, because modesty aside, i have some invitations around ... i think it is the phobia from the past relationships , that i don't want to go through the same pain again and that this time i want to take my time and wait for the RIGHT MAN ...where ever you are, whether you are in Philippines , KSA , Singapore , France , USA or

United Kingdom .... I M P R E S S M E ! ....

AFTER A FOUR-DAY HIATUS, WE'RE BACK IN LONDON

DAY ONE : OSLO NORWAY

at 11 am my lil sis and i arrived at garmoloen oslo airport after a two hour flight from heathrow. our cousin ate susan has spotted us quickly. we exchanged hellos and headed to the car to meet her husband kuya frank. gosh, kuya frank is very ma chicka and kinda pretend that he is our personal tour guide. on our way to their house, one thing i noticed in oslo, the sorrounding is lay back and no much buildings around, only snow! when we reached their home, it was just so beautiful and i was mesmerized with the view. their house wasjust so peaceful that you just want to sit down in a nice tumba-tumba while holding your cup of tea and looking at the magnificent scenery. ano ba yan, feeling ko biglang tumanda ako, anong tumba-tumba ???....

going back, we met our cousin Eirill- ate susans' daughter and she showed us our room... becha by golly wow, feeling ko we were in a hotel. in the room, there were two single bed with white cover - all white and perfectly ironed as if you don't want to lie on it, then on top of each pillows we have our own towels. sabi ko na eh, sana i did not bring any towels kasi pampasikip lang sa luggage namin . anyway, the place is perfect. ate susan told us to start packing some stuff because we will be going to a cruise to Denmark. then kuya frank told me to bring a nice outfit because there will be a party later in the evening.

***************************************

we met at the port and we were 10 persons in our group . we met ate susan's friend and our another cousin ate ailene. then more and more people are coming in, mostly young , i bet they are going home to denmark for the easter holiday. i never been to cruise so this will be a fun experience for me and my lil' sis. then the ship was ready for boarding and our cabin is at the 6th deck. ate ailene, joy and i shared the same cabin. kuya frank's friend- uncle tito was working in the ship therefore we received a " special " treatment. he gave us food and drinks and we went to the cabin of ate susan and we all had our supper there. then all the 10 of us went to different bars and dance floors and food shops and dance till our feet ache and we really had a good time !. the bars were all closed, ate ailene, joy and i sneaked from our cabin and bought a big serving of hotdogs and chips and ate as much as we can. we slept with big tummy and big smile...

DAY TWO : DENMARK

we woken up by a loud voice of a female crew announcing that the ship will be arriving to denmark in 30 minutes time. we were still in the party mood and not too keen to get up yet. but ate susan was knocking in our door making sure that we were up.

we went to different shops in denmark, dined in at one of the chinese restaurants and took pictures of whatever catches our eyes. then by afternoon we were ready to board again back to norway. we want to watch "Closer"- the film and promised that we will just take a nap in our cabin then meet up at 3pm to watch the movie. but because joy and i were so knackered, we ended up just sleeping the whole evening until 8pm when we heard the same female voice again announcing theat in 30 minutes time we will be in oslo.

****************************************

DAY THREE : TOUR OF OSLO and REUNION

ate susan has a very organized itinerary. we were up by 11am, had our breakfast together then kuya frank prepared the car and ready to got to different tourists destination in oslo.first stop was Frammuseet where we met kuya edwin, another relative of ours. he's the assistant manager of the museum therefore the entrance and souvenirs were free, hooray !...second stop, the King's palace, then the Vigilands Parken. i adore the artist who did those naked statues. im very interested to know the history of the place and why all the sorrounding statues are naked in different unimaginative positions ( huh! )...then we went to Holmenkollen where joy and i really had fun playing in snow. by 8pm we were back in the city proper and prepared ourselves to go to tita mila's house. tita mila is my mom's cousin and barkada when they were young. when we entered her house there we met tito mario, tita mila's husband, tita elvie-tita mila's younger sister and tito ramon- the husband of tita elvie. we met the rest of our cousins as well. they were all big and tall. how come we are small and petite?... siguro the air in norway makes you big,hahaha...tita mila's house is so huge and opulent. you can tell it from the plates, cutlery and crystal wine glasses on the table. she prepared a feast of appetizing, freshly cooked filipino foods. wow, the starters, main course and desserts were heavenly delicious. im sure we will gain weight from this holiday. whilst we were in the table, we all exchanged different and funny stories that we nearly wet ourselves from laughing....we left tita mila's place with teary eyes because we were so glad to finally meet our long lost humble and hospitable relatives living in the other side of the world. tita mila gave us a gift as a token of our visit to her place...what such a nice tita....sana pera, hahaha- joke lang po....

****************************************

DAY FOUR : FAREWELL

ate susan was planning for us to go to sweden today since our flight is late in the evening. but because joy and i were both really tired, she let us sleep . at 3pm, tita elvie invited us to visit her place. there, our cousins baked puto and bread for us then tita elvie prepared pancit and ice cream for our merienda. we stayed there only for an hour because we have to be in the airport by 4pm. after eating , we exchanged goodbyes and headed to the airport. tita elvie gave us cheese and salmon to bring in london...yum,yum !

Eirill - ate susan's daughter gave us a gift - i mean big and heavy gift to bring as well...

my gosh this is such a memorable and one of my best holidays ever ...

Bits and Pieces...

2005-03-07T23:13:00.000Z

a BIT of thought ...

noong nobyembre 2004, kinausap ako ng manager ko at pilit akong kinukumbinse na mag apply ng mas mataas na posisyon. eto ang sabi nya ...

manager : you are the best person suitable for the post, i know you are ready now and everyone at work likes
you.
me : well, thanks for your compliments and i'll think about it and will let you know about my plan...

hindi ko tinanggap ang posisyon, masyado pa akong bata para maagang tumanda ( of course the higher the post, the bigger the pressure, right ??? ). ang importante ay enjoy pa ako sa posisyon ko at masaya pa ako.if bored na ako, that will be a different issue.

pero, pero, pero ... kakatawa yung sinabi nya hah.... that " everyone likes me .".... whew !!!... there is no such human being existed in this complex world that has propensity with everyone.... and ayokong maging "like" ng lahat because there won't be any challenge in life anymore. ang buhay boring kung lahat "like" ako...ang pelikula di maganda kung walang kontrabida... ang cinderella di masayang basahin without the wicked step mother... ang parliament boring kung walang debate...

a PIECE of advice...

sa wakas natapos na rin ang advance course ko pero ngayon i need to congregate my assingnments.

isang bagay ang natutunan ko sa kursong ito, hwag matakot na lumabas sa inyong " comfort zone. "

oo nga noh, minsan ...
kapag komportable ka na sa isang bagay, ayaw mo na syang palitan....
kapag komportable ka na sa isang produkto, yun na lang ng yon ang bibilhin mo...
kapag komportable ka na sa bf mo kahit alam mong may mali sa relationship nyo ayaw mo syang hiwalayan...
kapag komportable ka na sa grupo ng kaibigan mo, kahit hindi ka pabor sa ginagawa nila, join ka lang sa kanila...
kapag komportable ka na sa trabaho mo kahit bored ka na at ayaw mo na, sige lang pasok ka pa rin dahil yun na yung nakasanayan mo ...

huh, ano nga bang pumipigil sa atin para lumabas sa ating " comfort zone. "....i know what, tell me if im right...

a big F . E . A. R...sa buhay natin madami tayong kinakatakutan... isa na dito ang FEAR to take the RISK... pero what if the RISK you will be taking is just so worth it and will make you a better person ?... WELL at the end of the day, you will be the master of your fate but don't live your life always thinking... " WHAT IF I HAVE DONE THIS .... ANO KAYANG BUHAY KO NGAYON ? ".... " WHAT IF I HAVE CHANGED MY JOB, ANO NA KAYANG POSITION KO ? ".... " WHAT IF I TRY THE OTHER PRODUCT ANO KAYANG RESULT ? "as for me, i would rather do the " IFs" and conquer my FEAR rather than living in this world with " IFs "...

SO, what is your " COMFORT ZONE ? "....

N.F.F.

2005-03-07T03:00:00.000Z

she was one of the new staff recruited in our unit last year. another filipina and im quite adamant to meet her coz i dunno what she's like. all i know is that she's older than me and originally from the country side.

we worked together and got the chance to know her more... a very relaxed, easy going, walang kyeme, bangkera ( super mag "bank"), palaban, generous, street smart, mababaw, simple, dependable, at hanep mangaral, " ateng- ate " and dating...

last year she needed someone to talk to and i was there to lend my ears and my hands. we went to bar, got pissed and laughed our asses out kahit deep inside i know her heart was weeping.

she met my family, si dad, mom, and sis... she get along with joy very well, they both have the same taste sa kalokohan. si daddy laging may padalang baon for her kapag we are working at the same shift.

a night before umuwi sila dad and mom, she dropped by and gave a farewell gift to them. we were touched by her gesture...by the way, sabi ni dad ok daw yung size and si mom feeling donya kapag gamit nya yung gift mo...

then her chance to visit phil and she had the best holiday ever. huh, she came back with big smile and new hairdo... im so happy for her and her boyfriend... she deserves that, maloka ka!

at work now, chaos all over..she was there for me when i needed her...i want to burst into tears and here she is, ready to lend her ears and hands.

realization strikes me now... how lucky iam to be sorrounded with old and new friends... this is just what i need now.... a friend who will yell on me if i commit mistake, a friend who will send me funny emails to cheer me up,a friend who keeps on reminding me not to wait long in finding a man suitable for me ( para daw hindi ako matulad sa kanya), a friend who will stay late even after a tiring longday just to know how things are, a friend who will buy a mark's and spencer chocolate drink so we won't be accused of drinking the succhard chocolate ( hahaha ), a friend who will ring me to tell me about the latest message in our work diary, a person who will stand for me not only as a colleague but as a FRIEND too....

im lucky to have a
N. F. F. ( New Found Friend )...Osang....

retail therapy

2005-02-20T22:20:00.000Z

after a stressful, emotional and tiring shift yesterday we decided to go out today.

we went to covent garden first and while walking along the pavement, i can't resist the smell of the cheese and bacon pasty. whoala, yum,yum, yum....

we visited a lot of shops in covent garden, oxford circus and knightsbridge and mind you - everything is just sooohhh expensive. the christmas sale is over now and this is the reality living in london- lifestyle is so dear...well, i saw some gorgeous stuff and i'm trying to convince myself not to buy them. "mind over matter", " necessity versus luxury ". hope it will work...

guess what, i went home with a very big smile on my face... why ?... i have a new gorgeous shoes, pair of earrings and blouse to wear for summer.

although my " mind over matter " didn't work, well to justify my action , i think i deserve all of them. i had a bad day yesterday and i deserve a therapy..... my retail therapy !!! hahaha....

HANDWRITING ANALYSIS

2005-02-09T18:50:00.000Z

this past two days, the unit has been so quite. no " hot case " patients for us ( probably they are all turned cold kasi winter, hahaha ).

anyway, to fill the quite time today my colleague tony decided to do a test to analyze my handwriting from handwriting wizard.com, programmed by the faculty of handwriting university.com.

for a crack let me try....

they have this introduction first and here it goes...

handwriting analysis can identify your subconscious and conscious personality traits relating to your behaviour, motivations, sexuality, ambitions, and other personal variations...blah,blah,blah...

many people wonder why handwriting analysis is so accurate despite the fact their seems to " change all the time ." while is it true that handwriting can detect moods of the writing sample, usually only a few of the hundreds of traits change over a period of time. handwriting delivers the best of two worlds : the present state of the mind and the overall disposition of someone. handwriting analysis is used by top corporations worldwide even FBI....blah,blah,blah...

and now let the analysis begin....i was asked to write a paragraph...and in a few seconds the result was sent to my email and let me share the result to you....and with my side comments too....

for a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward the world and relationship to things in his or her own space. ediscyll has left lots of white space on the all four borders of the paper. ediscyll fill just the center area of the page. ediscyll has a particular shyness toward people ( korek ! ) and fear of moving too fast in any direction ( maybe ). ediscyll seems to have a fear of looking bad on crossing boundaries ( korek na naman, kasi kahit nung bata pa ako lagi akong good role model-kuno ! kaya takot me na maging bad girl ). it will be easy to work with ediscyll on a team, because ediscyll usually follow the rules ( really ???) however this desire to respect the boundaries can often constructed as a lack of confidence and people will walk over if she is not careful ( well, subukan nyo lang, lolz ).

ediscyll will be a good story teller ( chismis ba to???). she allows many people in her life because she is accomodating and trusting ( korek na naman, napakadali kong mag tiwala, as in ! ). she is sometimes called a gullible by her friends. that only really means she trusts too many people ( oh di ba, korek na naman ). ediscyll has a vivid imagination.

ediscyll will take action on her thoughts. she is positive that her views are correct. she has the ability to seem as if she is positively correct when anwering a question if she does not have the slightest idea of the answer ( eto di ako sure ). ediscyll displays a self confidence that makes everyone else sure she is correct ( 50-50 ako dito kasi di naman me lagi confident eh ). she is positive of her own views, but necessarily stubborn ( korek 'to,matigas talaga ulo ko! ).

ediscyll is capable of seeing far into the future. she plans two, three, even ten years advance ( eto mega super dooper korek, for the record, i have my diary when i was 19 years old and there naka plano na ang buhay ko... then nakita ng mom ko yung diary ko and tawa sya ng tawa kasi dami ko raw plans, pero amazed si mom kasi lahat natupad, oh hah !!!by the way, pati nga buhay ng ibang tao pina plano ko eh). ediscyll has high goals and literally see them being reached ( well, i still have a lot of goals to fulfill ). she is confident and has high self esteem. ediscyll will reach whatever level of success she desires ( sana nga po korek ka dito ). ediscyll has self concept that is possessed by less than two percent of the population. the two percent contains the most successful people in the world ( duh, does it mean i belong to the 2 % population ???) when a person has a high self esteem, she frees herself to achieve an unlimited world.ediscyll has achieved this frame of mind ( gosh, really ??). congratulations. she has the self confidence to take the risk, thus reaping the rewards ( dito agree ako talaga, risk taker po ako eh ). if she does fail, it doesn't break her confidence. she knows she can do it ! ( kapag nadapa ako, tayo ulit..) in retrospect of our research , this trait is one of the most desirable to possess, because it releases the writer to achieve her full potential. we recommend everyone raise their self esteem to this level.

in reference to ediscyll's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creative mind ( well siguro agree manager ko dito ). she investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. she get involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must stay and look at all the angles. she probably gets too many things going at once ( korek agen, i like to do two things in one go - time is gold eh ! ). when slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. she then decides what projects she has time to finish. thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project. she has the best of two kinds of minds. one is the quick investigating mind. the other is the slower mind. her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. she can learn quicker, investigate more and think faster ( i was born in the " year of the snake " kaya forte ko ang investigation ). ediscyll can then switch into her low gear. when in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts ( korek agen, when i learn things in slower pace, mas nag stay ang information sa mind ko ) in a logical manner.. she is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much grip.

diplomacy is one of ediscyll's best attributes ( well i'm sure my colleagues will 100% agree with this ). she can have tact with others. she has the ability to state things in such a way not to offend someone else. ediscyll can disagree without being disagreeable ( charisma lang po ang ginagamit ko, pa smile smile; pakaway kaway...lolz ).

ediscyll is secretive ( korek, mind your own business ). she has secrets which she does not wish to share with others or intentionally conceals things about herself. she has a private side that she intend that way, especially concerning certain events in her past.

when ediscyll expresses an opinion on an issue she will stick to that opinion and will not change her mind ( pride ba ang pairalin, pero korek po ito ). in other words... ediscyll is stubborn ( oo nga di ba, na mention mo na to kanina eh ! ) when she is wrong to something that she has decided upon, she will have trouble admitting she is wrong ( dito 60/40 tayo, kasi marunong naman po me mag soweee ) changing ediscyll's mind can be very difficult ( kaya don't ever mess up with me, madali akong magtiwala pero kapag inabuso mo yon - goodbye and goodluck ). once ediscyll makes up her mind, she doesn't want to be confused with the facts !

ediscyll is moderately outgoing. her emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart warming stories ( korek, di ba ako ang certified drama queen ). in fact she can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate to others. she has the ability to put herself into other person's shoes. ediscyll will be somewhat moody with highs and lows. sometimes she will be happy, the next day she might be sad ( korek, minsan po may mood swings ako lalo na kung PMS ) the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. this is because she is in between. psychology calls ediscyll an ambivert understands the needs of both types. although they get along, she will not tolerate that is too " far out " ( korek, sa friends ganito ako ). she doesn't sway too far one way or the other. when convinced to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to her ( korek na korek...i'm sure a lot of people will agree with me ). ediscyll is an expressive person ( korek, bakit itago ang feelings, super transparent po ako. if i love the person, i express it...to my parents, sis, friends, boyfriend ...if galit ako...i'll show it too, di kasi me plastic ! ). she may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story. ediscyll is a " middle of the roader, " politically as well as logically. she weighs both sides and sits on the fence, and then will decide when she finally has to. she basically does go to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue.

people that write letters in an average height and average size has the ability to moderately interact socially. according to the data input, ediscyll doesn't write too big or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others ( korek, im very flexible... i can be quite and loud too, depende sa crowd ko ).

ediscyll can be defiant. she sometimes has the attitude that if soemone doesn't like the way she is doing it, then they can just " go to hell " ( korek po ito, im not here to impress anyone and im just being true to myself, masama ba yon? ). this trait may reveal itself in a rebellious nature that is always ready to resist forces which she thinks stopping her freedom of action. THE END...

my verdict... it's 8 out of 10 and 98 % true. it is very spooky because most of the statements were accurate.

our shift is nearly ending now, huh..what a productive day !....lolz

TWO CELEBRATIONS

2005-02-08T05:29:00.000Z

1) TODAY IS A PANCAKE DAY IN UK !!!

yup, you heard me right, today we celebrate the " pancake day."

well let me give you a brief information where this originates. basically, pancake day or shrove tuesday, is the traditional feast day before the start of the lent on ash wednesday. lent- the 40 days leading up to easter was traditionally a time of fasting and on shrove tuesday christians went to confession and were " shriven ". it was the last opportunity to use eggs and fats before embarking on the lenten fast and pancakes are the perfect way of using up these ingredients. ( thank you bbc.co.uk )

did you know that there is also a pancake race in uk ?

yup, you heard me right again. in the uk, pancake races also form an important part of the shrove tuesday celebrations- an opportunity for the large people to race down the streets tossing pancakes.

so everyone, happy pancake day !!!

2) FANTASTIC JOB ELLEN McARTHUR !!!

everyone is very overwhelmed with this young british lady. why ???

well after spending 71 days, 14 hours, 18 minutes, and 33 seconds sailing in the sea ELLEN is considered the FASTEST EVER PERSON WHO SAILED SINGLE-HANDEDLY AROUND THE WORLD.

can you imagine yourself In the middle of the sea, all by yourself trying to fight the treacherous ocean while sorting out some technical problems in your boat and facing the danger of the blowing wind ???... huh, i think i will need a gazillion of strength, courage, endeavor and faith for me to do that...

geez, you're such a lady of the century...

cheers ELLEN !
