something Christmas-ish
in less than an hour, we'll be celebrating the birthday of Bro, hehe, so I guess it's just right to blog something Christmas-ish (credits to my friend, Winay, for the word)...
to start off, i'm sharing with everyone my all-time favorite Christmas song...
MY GROWN UP CHRISTMAS LIST
Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream
So here's my lifelong wish
My grown up christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal the heart
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end oh,
This is my grown up Christmas list
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something shiny
Wrapped beneath the tree
But heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
Oh, This is my grown up christmas list
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, oh
This is my grown up christmas list
This is my only life long wish
This is my grown up christmas list
***
now, allow me to share with you my very own grown up Christmas list:
1. Clean and honest government
2. Englightened leaders.
3. Cleaner, greener environment
4. That all people devasted by Ondoy and Pepeng be able to recover.. soon.
5. Healing for all those who have loved and lost. Or, those who have lost their loved ones.
6. Peace of mind for everyone.
7. Good health.
8. Steady recovery of the economy. And, more jobs, especially for the poor.
9. Stronger family ties.
10. WORLD PEACE.
***
and lastly, here's a wallpaper that vividly depicts the Yuletide season. Since we don't have winter here, I've always loved looking at pictures with snowmen. ^^
***
Having said all those, let me greet you once again a HAAAAAPPPPY CHRISTMAS!!!

New year gitters
each of us has his or her own private war. in one's lifetime, a person may experience personal blues such as Birthday syndromes, quarter- or mid-life crises and others. the first in the series seems to be the most common. on my part, my internal battle transpires not just on days prior my birthday but also on days before New Year. And so as the next year dawns, my New Year "syndrome," as i fondly call it, kicks off. but now that i'm wiser and, well. older, i try to fight negative thoughts and try to make this syndrome a challenge instead. hence, i started planning on what course to take and set deadlines on the things that i have yet to accomplish for next year. i really don't want to waste any single moment or day of the next year. after all, so many time and moments have been put to waste in the past.
and so just like everyone else, i'm making my New Year's resolutions once again. the last time i made a list of resolutions was years back so here goes nothing...
1. SAVE money! Start up a bank account.
2. Gain weight/exercise regularly. i'll do yoga as religioulsy and regularly as possible.
3. REEEAAAD books regularly.
4. Spend more time with friends and family.
5. Refrain from focusing on bad and negative thoughts. Happy thoughts all the time!^^
6. Write more! Blog more often.
7. TRAVEL! go somewhere far during weekend or holidays.
8. Find a job that I will really enjoy.
9. Finish watching all the TV series that I have started to watch this year: Smallville, Charmed, CSI's, L Word and many others. Oh boy, I really have to watch all seasons of each series.
******
speaking of New Year, Christmas is also just around the corner. And since every one's shamelessly plugging their Christmas wishlist, here's mine:
1. BOOKS. (National Bookstore is offering a set of book series. hope someone would get me a set of the Twilight saga, Shopaholic, Harry Potter or Lauren Weisberger's series)
2. SLR camera.. i'm soo drooling over this kind of camera.
3. Coffee maker. i could buy this kitchen must-have anytime but i'm hoping someone will give me one.
4. Little Black Dress (LBD). They say that every girl should have one in her closet. But guess what? I don't have one. Thus, I fervently hope that someone will give me this piece of girl thing.
5. Gladiator sandals. This pair has become very popular since early this year. But, I didn't by myself a pair because I still prefer flip-flops. Next year, I want to perk up my footwear collection with their edgy look.
6. DVD copy or (read:) copies of the movies in my "must-watch list:" Coco before Chanel, 500 days of Summer, The Piano, The Usual Suspects, Lorenzo's Oil, and John Hughes films. Heard that the flicks back in the 80's are unbeatable so I hope someone will grab a copy of any 80's films for me.
7. Rihanna's newest album. Or Lady Gaga's, hehe.. I so love "Bad Romance."
8. Tee with the map of the Philippines. hehe, dunno how it's called, eh..
so that's my wishlist for now. just off the top of my head so i may or may not add more in the coming days.. ;p
Happy Christmas every one!

also,got this message from "Vessels of Honor" as yesterday's advice. it's a very timely quote since I myself have been in search for something these past few days.. right now, am clueless. but i greatly hope that with the grace of God, I'd find something which is of great significance...
"the search for significance is the most significant search of mankind. But if our significance is found in insignificant things, our search is itself insignificant."

30 Should Have's and Should Know's
in my futile attempt to keep this blog breathing, i decided to share something "girly". it is an article or rather a list of what every woman should have done and know by the time she's 30.. i honestly think that it's a good read for women of all ages though. so let me share with you now this tidbit of girl/woman thing:
30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She's 30
By 30, you should have:
1. One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you’ve come.
2. A decent piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family.
3. Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour.
4. A purse, a suitcase and an umbrella you’re not ashamed to be seen carrying.
5. A youth you’re content to move beyond.
6. A past juicy enough that you’re looking forward to retelling it in your old age.
7. The realization that you are actually going to have an old age—and some money set aside to help fund it.
8. An e-mail address, a voice mailbox and a bank account—all of which nobody has access to but you.
9. A résumé that is not even the slightest bit padded.
10. One friend who always makes you laugh and one who lets you cry.
11. A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill and a black lace bra.
12. Something ridiculously expensive that you bought for yourself, just because you deserve it.
13. The belief that you deserve it.
14. A skin-care regimen, an exercise routine and a plan for dealing with those few other facets of life that don’t get better after 30.
15. A solid start on a satisfying career, a satisfying relationship and all those other facets of life that do get better.
By 30, you should know:
1. How to fall in love without losing yourself.
2. How you feel about having kids.
3. How to quit a job, break up with a man and confront a friend without ruining the friendship.
4. When to try harder and when to walk away.
5. How to kiss in a way that communicates perfectly what you would and wouldn’t like to happen next.
6. The names of: the secretary of state, your great-grandmother and the best tailor in town.
7. How to live alone, even if you don’t like to.
8. How to take control of your own birthday.
9. That you can’t change the length of your calves, the width of your hips or the nature of your parents.
10. That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it’s over.
11. What you would and wouldn’t do for money or love.
12. That nobody gets away with smoking, drinking, doing drugs or not flossing for very long.
13. Who you can trust, who you can’t and why you shouldn’t take it personally.
14. Not to apologize for something that isn’t your fault.
15. Why they say life begins at 30.

While reading through it, I realized that I still have a long way to go. But what the heck, I'm just 25, I have all the time to do all these and more =)

While reading through it, I realized that I still have a long way to go. But what the heck, I'm just 25, I have all the time to do all these and more =)
just passing by...
i have been itching to blog. i've got so much to tell but my hands are just so full of monitoring tasks. just yesterday we learned that despite the extra monitoring load, our request for deadline extension was not granted. boohoo... hence, the next two workweek would be crunch time for the QA department. so help us God!
anyway, to cap off this tedious week and in preparation for the next two weeks of ordeal, here's an inspirational video for everyone...
wake me up when november comes
it's just june, sixth month of the year. end of the second quarter. i still have to wait for five more months...
i just can't wait until november. not only because it's my birth month but also because the next installment of the twilight series is slated in the same month. hehe, see how shallow i can get sometimes... it was just last week when i watched the official trailer and last month when i saw the posters of the upcoming movie. forums, blogs and other movie sites just can't be stopped from bringing the updates on this much-anticipated movie.
i had the trailer downloaded in my pc and have watched it for so many times. until now, i still can't help but drool over the handsome features of rob pattinson, the muscled figure of taylor lautner and the incredible effects when jacob morphed into a werewolf. this is definitely a must-see. but while waiting for that fateful day, i guess i better finish reading the book, haha. yep, haven't finished reading it yet. i'm such a slowpoke when it comes to reading ;-)
incidentally, i have here the 'official' posters of the upcoming flick. i downloaded them some weeks back but i was just too lazy to upload them here.. i'm displaying them here for no special reasons. perhaps i just want to be reminded after ten or probably twenty years from now, or when i'm too old to remember everything, that some time or somewhere in my liftetime, i was once part of the twilight hype...
****
...the bod that got everyone talking...
...beauty personified (that's just me anyway)..
...which side would you choose?...
wala lang
changed my template into something colorful, hehe... nothing special happened today. hehe, it's actually a boring day since it's the start of the month.. i don't feel like writing and uploading din. will do them tomorrow. hehe... i'll be out in a while and that's a 'yey!' can't wait to go home. sarap matulog today, so so cold because of the weather *yawn*
summah time
done with all the school requirements. just hope that my prof would be considerate enough to give me a passing grade knowing that i was not aware of the principles and concepts in genre analysis. we only met twice to talk about my final paper, imagine? we didn't have formal meetings to discuss the theories that underlie the said subject. oh well, i still have to wait until next week until the final grades' are out! im really keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that my almost sleepless nights would pay off!
anyway, for now, i want to focus on making my summer worthwhile. i'm on sabbatical by the way, i won't be taking my compre next week! hehe! i'd be taking it in july. that means, i have almost three months to smell the flowers, hehe.. but really, not taking the compre was a big decision that i had to make. when i started my masters, i'd thought of having my degree before 2009 ends, but this time, i realized that i need not worry and need not to hurry. i've been pushing myself to the limit for the last two years and i guess it's really time for a BIG break from school! that 3 months would also be enough preparation for the compre :)
anyway, tomorrow's the official start of my summer! can't waaaaaiiiiiiit ;)

after school
i'm in the library right now. been here for more than an hour and i'm supposed to be getting copies of the journals that i need to read. then i realize that usb's not allowed, haha. thus, i started doing nonsensical stuff such as bloghopping, checking emails and my friend's friendster accounts when i should be reading more about my research! haha...anyway, in a few minutes, i should be going. i'll be visiting my sister in valenzuela since it's my nephew's graduation day. haven't seen them for three months and i miss them. good thing i was able to squeeze it in my busy schedule. but gosh, i need to work on paper and i better do it fast. i want to give my best this time since this is my last term. good luck to me tlaga...

change
change is really constant. we must brace ourselves for changes everyday.
got a dose of this inevitable reality today---i moved to a new station just like almost everyone. now, i'm very close to the entrance of our office and very upfront! hehe..am happy still coz i now sit with my fellow QA's and we don't have to use messenger anymore so that we could communicate. however, there's a part of me that's nostalgic at the same time. i'd surely miss my ex-team and their team leader who has become a friend to me...
i know that the move that had happened today was not easy for everyone. i'm sure we all are in low spirits especially since this change has been brought about by the present crisis. i just hope everyone could adapt to this soon...
indeed, we cannot control change. however we react to it depends entirely to us. each person has their way of coping anyway---we could be adamant, resistant or flexible to change. i hope everyone's amenable to the last one though; after all, they say that only the dead ones couldn't embrace change. ;p

inspired by a short message
i've been feeling kinda down lately because of the changes here and there, the depressing crisis and loads of homework that i ought to do but had not started yet. this afternoon though, a very short message from one of the teachers inspired me. she thanked me for the evaluation that i gave her this month. according to her, she learned something from me and she now knows what should not be done next time. . . just that. nothing more, nothing less. but even the simplicity of the message made me feel like a million dollars! hehe, coz not everyone has that kind of thinking. more often than not, people would put the blame on their evaluators. sad but true. can't take that against people though; each one has their perspective of things anyway...
so that's just it! i was just so elated that i was able to touch someone's life today and i want to remember this day when i look back years from now how i had lived my life.
***
a welcome to moi :)
after my futile attempts in starting a new blog in some other web sites, i realized that blogspot is still the best. it's use-friendly. very easy to manipulate. and so i decided to just create a second account here... my previous blog was full of my angsts and frustrations and thus, i opted for a fresh start this year.. i was supposed to make one at the onset of the year but then my busy schedule didn't allow me to do so.. now, i tried to make time for it and i'm glad that here i am starting anew
