back at one: part two

will miss:

1. annual kick offs (the grandeur..the fun!..the fab gowns (blah..)..the movie stars!..all the freebies..the food!!)

2. the free trips..though work related..still free.

3. the pride.

4. the money!

5. the Xmas gift certificates which could take care of the Noche Buena and Media Noche

6. the paid VLs and SLs..that i can take anytime

7. office in rockwell.

8. Staff Shop and the discount..and yeah the canteen too..

9. all the benefits. (like you can charge anything as long as it is work-related..)

10. THE BRAND NEW CAR EVERY FIVE YEARS.

....yes, i will miss my car...zda157! i love you, baby..but i have to let go..buh-bye!

come Monday next week..it's gonna be this:



and this:



but it's all gonna be worth it!

i'll be fine...

on the floor!....the homecoming!

america, europe, and asia! ur favorite agent will soon make a grand comeback!!!

Leave on

New realizations:

1. i'm as OC as my mom...i realized i can't stand the sight of a dirty (read: naabugan lang gyud gamay) kitchen sink and a sloppy (read: bag-o lang gyud giligu-an) bathroom..for the first time in my life i actually bought muriatic acid for the kitchen sink and bathroom tiles...i can't leave the house (i'm renting) without all the chores done! geez..and i wake up each day thinking of the unswept floor first!

2. If my boss' text message is as long as the SF bridge, it is for the team--and, yes, even with text msgs he knows how to organize stuff starting it off with 1)...2)..if it is as short as an unfinished government project during pre-elections, it is just adrsd to me..(bbrrr)

3. you can't force yourself to everybody.

4. a true friend may not always be there for you.

5. the person u think will understand u forever will soon get tired of u.

6. Blessings don't pour like rain; they come individually.

7. A couple grows individually

8. every person has a second skin.

9. if it is to be, it's up to me.

10. life is fair. really. we just don't accept easily.

11. Your mother will never forsake you.

12. i have grown..yet i still have to be...

who are you

and so it goes...the phenomena of self-discovery..patiently waiting for each truth to unfold..always painfully..never without tears..
home, indeed, is the sweetest place on earth...a place where i can hide..i am safe..i can heal from wounds i constantly afflict myself with with every battle i have to wage--and surrender.
i realized, after 2 years, i have never really won any battle..the ground i have entered is still fresh..no bloodshed..my wounds won't scar because they won't heal..the pain will always be there..i surrender from the turmoil of unaffection and ignorance..and i know victory is still a strange word..
the journey i long wanted to quit must go on..and amidst the prevalence of insecurities forever castigating my motivation to step forward and let loose, i followed the path still unknown to me..i have long wanted to turn my back and live in a world of pure theories..a world where pain and suffering are non-existent..where experience can never be realized..
soon i will come out with my own book..and this book will realize a girl, with so much arrogance, vow her head in defeat..and admit that after every arrogant claim, the truth is never with her. a girl who's only solace is a mother who never failed to give her the much needed hope. the much needed support. and an unconditional love even she cannot give in return...
and this book will be called I AM.

You Changed My Life In A Moment

The nights the sky was filled with clouds
My worried mind was filled with fear
I couldn't count all the lonely hours
Spent with memories and tears

I never thought I would see the day
When I could throw all my sorrow away
But then you came and you showed me the way
You have made all those times disappear

CHORUS:
You changed my life in a moment
And I'll never be the same again
You changed my life in a moment
And it's hard for me to understand
With the touch of your hand in a moment in time
All my sorrow is gone (is gone...is gone...is gone...)

I never thought that I could change
Could change so much in so many ways
I'm still surprised when I look in my mirror
To see that I still look the same

CHORUS:
You changed my life in a moment
And I'll never be the same again
You changed my life in a moment
And it's hard for me to understand
With the touch of your hand in a moment in time
All my sorrow is gone

(You changed my life in a moment)
You changed my life
(And I'll never be the same again)
I'll never be the same
You changed my life in a moment
And it's hard for me to understand
With the touch of your hand in a moment in time
All my sorrow is gone

(You changed my life in a moment)
Gone...gone..
In a moment in time
All my sorrow is gone...
.

Maybe I hang around here a little more than I should We both know I got somewhere else to go But I got something to tell you that I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know I love you I honestly love you
You don't have to answer, I see it in your eyes Maybe it was better left unsaidBut this is pure and simple, and you must realise That it's comin' from my heart and not my head I love you
I honestly love youI'm not tryin' to make you feel uncomfortable I'm not tryin' to make you anything at all But this feeling doesn't come along every day And you shouldn't blow the chance when you've got the chance to say I love you I love you I honestly love you
If we both were born in another place and time This moment might be ending in a kiss
But there you are with yours, and here I am with mine So I guess we'll just be leavin' it at this I love you I honestly love you I honestly love you

gee..

he's a certified bachelor, anyway!

picture!picture!

one hello

One Hello

If you're not afraid
Of what love brings
Then endings are beginnings
of beautiful things
Its a chance you'll take
A chance you'll win
If someone gonna find you
First you gotta let them in

Coz love begins with one hello
The hardest part is over
Now its easy letting go
One hello is how it starts
You might really love or lose your heart

If you're not afraid
Of what you feel
Then try and keep it simple
Or try and keep it real
And if being real means
You'll some day say goodbye
Remember my friend
Goodbyes not the end
Its a circle you know
And it starts with one hello

Love begins with one hello
The hardest part is over
Now it's easy letting go
One hello is how it starts
Remember my friend
Goodbyes not the end
Its a circle you know
And it starts with one hello
It starts with one hello

a glimpse of forever

all i wanna do...is grow old with you...

weak

I don't know what it is that you've done to me
But it's caused me to act in such a crazy way
Whatever it is that you do when you do what you're doing
It's a feeling that I want to stay
'Cuz my heart starts beating triple time
With thoughts of lovin' you on my mind
I can't figure out just what to do
When the cause and cure is you, you


I get so weak in the knees
I can hardly speak, I lose all control
Then somethin' takes over me
In a daze, your love's so amazing
It's not a phase
I want you to stay with me, by my side
I swallow my pride
Your love is so sweet, it knocks me right off of my feet
Can't explain why your lovin' makes me weak


Time after time after time I've tried to fight it
But your love is strong, it keeps on holdin' on
Resistance is down when you're around, pride's fading
In my condition I don't want to be alone
'Cuz my heart starts beating triple time
With thoughts of lovin' you on my mind
I can't figure out just what to do
When the cause and cure is you, you

I've tried hard to fight it
No way can I deny it
Your love's so sweet
It knocks me off my feet


I get so weak
Blood starts racing through my veins
I get so weak
Boy it's somethin' I can't explain
I get so weak
Somethin' 'bout the way you do the things you're din'
Knocks me right off of my feet
Can't explain why your lovin' makes me weak
