Officially missed you

oooppppsss its not alicia keys....hehe

i realized, i officially missed two things. First is the life of being a student and next is mah room (every part of it).

when my cousin, JunJun (he's actually in his sixth grade now), went to our home and then asked for the 'S' section of our encylopedia, i immediately asked him, "ano ba ang hinahanap mo?". after answering space probe, i get the other encylopedia (science this time) and gave him the space probe part of it. he seems busy looking for the space probe section, that's why i just started reading some part of it like what is it all about etc. etc. etc. the next day, same situation happened but this time another topic, space exploration. i totally missed the life of being a student. researching...presentations...deadlines...competitions...learning about things in life. then suddenly i thought that every student should be thakful enough for being a student once in their life. after hs then college then wat? after that here comes the real world saying "in your face" and "life is a game. now, you play".

nakakatuwang isipin at makakabalik na rin ako sa kwarto ko. di naman sa dahilang gusto ko ng paalisin ang insan ko (dun sya namalagi pansamantala habang nasa pilipinas at babalik na muli sya sa states). parang naamoy ko ulit ang simoy ng aking kwarto. naayos ko ulit sa nais kong ayos. masarap talagang bumalik sa mga lugar na kung saan naging bahagi na ng sarili mo. sympre wala ng hihigit pa dyan sa sarili mong kwarto. isa sa mga makakapagpakita ng kung ano at sino ka.

do we see ourselves clearly?

Why is that when we are trying to see our friends, we can tell immediately who they are and what they are. Well of course it's basically on how we perceived them. We can tell their plus factors, wrongdoings etc. etc. etc.... But why is that so hard to look on ourselves so crystal clear????

This makes me throw another question, what are friends for? (my brother is irritated on the grammatically wrong yet prevalent question "what are friends are for???" hihi). Its basically one of the many reasons why we have friends: to have someone that would look to us and serve as our critic, good or bad. Precisely, that must be friend, a real concern fellow for your well being.

3 things

1. "in" means having 2 cellphones (one for sun cellular and the other one is for the other network)...this means sun = not so nice and in looking model of cellphone while for the other network = high-tech and the latest model of nokia/ericson etc. etc.

2. i admit!!! im not so being productive well that makes me unproductive this past few weeks... more of the unproductive rather than the productive side of me. but this doesnt mean that im totally unproductive ah! but i know deep withn myself that i can do many things (just like during my college yrs) with every day that passed by. bottomline here is that there must be something that keeps me busy and going. unproductivity means stopping of learning thus, not achieving. but good for me im doing something about it =).

3. word for the day: RESPECT........respect for my body...respect for my nowhere-out-of-sight-future work...respect for my self. :)

Life and the Things I’ve Learned

I’ve learned
That you can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life.

To become the person I want to be.

Is a lousy way of keeping score.

I’ve learned
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re down
Are the ones to help you get back up.

But that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.

I’ve learned
That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.

I’ve learned
That just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to
Doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.

I’ve learned
That maturity has to do with the type of experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from them

And you must forgive them for that.

The world doesn’t stop you for your grief.

I’ve learned
That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
But we are responsible for who we become.

I’ve learned
That just because two people argue, it doesn’t mean they don’t love each other
And just because they don’t argue, it doesn’t mean that they do.

I’ve learned
That we don’t have to change friends
If we understand that friends change.

I’ve learned
That you shouldn’t be so eager to find out a secret
It could change your life forever.

I’ve learned
That two people can look at the exact same thing
And see something totally different

I’ve learned
That your life can be changed in a matter of hours
By people who don’t even know you.

I’ve learned
That even when you think you have no more to give
When a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

I’ve learned
That credentials on the wall
Do not make you a decent human being.

I’ve learned
That the people you care about most in life
Are taken from you soon.

got this from a newspaper....

Thank God....

shocked yet thankful....
this was my reaction when i heard about the ayala bombing incident. well, i guess this can be your feeling when you are most-likely-to-be-near in that scenario. i'm really so thankful that we werent able to have a reservation to red box that night. we were supposed to have dinner at 7pm and who knows maybe some of my friends like rage, nikki, tufe and lionel will take the edsa... good thing also im with my friend bic coz we decided to leave makati around 6pm and not 7pm. imagine its like 1 hr before the incident. whhhoooo....

its february 14, where there should be lots of love, its now filled with smoke and tremor; where there should be rise of value of peso, it can now affect our economy again; where there should be peacemaking and not animosity.

So much to thank for like friends ian, bic and rage for the nice time at the providence tower and for being able to went home safely. thanks also for no one in my family and friends were being hurt in that incident. thanks thanks thanks.

sooo thankful but still formidable.
