who the hell do you think you are?!

wa koy labot kung mapasmo ka ug ang imong pamilya!

dili obligasyon sa among opisina nga pakaonon mo. mao gani nga naa ka dra sa imong ginatrabahuan para buhion nimo imong pamilya. baga jud kag face bah!

kung ginatolerate ka tungana, well, karon magdusa ka!

the more that you are sending me those paconsensya text messages, the more i will ignore you.

and i really don’t care that you’re working in that specific field.

remember, you are responsible for putting food in your family’s table. not ours! my god! to think you are an able-bodied person. you should work hard and not just wait to be given goods every month.

there are other less fortunate people more deserving of the help that we extend than you do.

take full responsibility of your life. don’t depend so much on other people.

wa koy labot nimo!

the sheer frustration on these kinds of people, ugh!

the past days were so overwhelming to the point that i broke down the other day.

but then i realized, things will just fall into place soon.

so, i took things one at a time and everything seemed to turn out well.

and then, a text message from you came.

happy words telling a story about something we both love.

and that made me smile even more.

made my day a whole lot better.

aaaahhhh... the pleasures of having someone special. =)

of sickness, celebrities and a friend

two days into the new work, i got sick. flu, cough and all. hay. i must have been overwhelmed with the bulk of work. or it could also be from all the dust as we were cleaning the new office. 2 more weeks of this before the new office will all be settled.

------------------------------------

saw a couple of celebrities yesterday. drew arellano is really gwapo but he's quite short. Smooth skin, nice smile, wonderful body. Aaahhhh to die for. ;))

got to see lady gagita and haronce in the flesh. i never thought lady gagita would be really tall. Around 5’9” or 5'10". they were donning their trademark outfits they used in the telephone parody. and it was really nice to see once again jinky vidal and tat suzara of freestyle. it's been a while since i've seen them :). they were interviewed for drew’s tv show in qtv. so proud to see fellow dabawenyos getting recognized.

a simple and heartfelt greeting for an extraordinary person. a happy, happy birthday, geek! =)

moving out

"Room service? Send up a larger room." – Groucho Marx
------------------------------------------------------------------------

june 29. last of our moving out days since saturday.

the big boss, me and my staff has formally left our office a couple hours back. we will be moving on to a bigger office to take on another greater challenge and task. an intimidating thought actually. and i'm starting to get nervous thinking about the day when we will finally move in to the new office.

for the past couple of years, our office has been the witness to the growth and camaraderie that everyone has formed and been through. the laughters. the breakfast parties. the food bingeing. the chismiss. the heavy workload. the midnight overtimes. and a little bit of misunderstanding (which has been addressed immediately).

in the last two years that i’ve been with the office, i was able to become a better individual. realized potentials i never thought i had. done good things i never thought i could do. and discovered things – both admiring and despising, that helped mold better principles.

i never thought that i would last this long working in our office. i never thought i’d be capable of doing the job and responsibility that i’ve held for the past years. my patience was tested and my desire to stay on was questioned. but yet, with the encouragement that i got from my staff, the work colleagues and even from my boss, i’ve managed to stay and be still of service. and with flying colors to that. :)

as i left the office today, i still have doubts if we can take on the challenge that awaits ahead of us. i am optimistic though. we have managed to do well in past years and i think we can surpass that and become even better in our delivery of service. especially since we are being led by a good big boss. one with a genuine heart for service.

our office may now be empty with people and fixtures but we left it with wonderful and good memories that we will always remember.

and now, we are ready to fill another space - a bigger one- with more memories in the coming years. :)

tattoed on my mind

“Sing like no one's listening, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching, and live like its heaven on earth.” – Mark Twain

your words.

your voice.

the non-sense conversations.

the sensible ones.

that warm embrace when we first met.

the first time our hands touched.

my soft kisses.

your intense kisses.

that wonderful feeling as we hugged and cuddled each other.

that sensual moment when our bodies are close to each other as we showered together. lips locked tight. drops of water trickling every inch of our bodies.

our “sleeping” moments.

your eyes.

your smile.

your body.

you.

and i smile.

:)


thing about you is you know just how to get me
you talk about us like there's no end in sight
the thing about me is that i really want to let you
open that door and walk into my life

an unexpected call

"I believe in Karma. If the good is sown, the good is collected. When positive things are made, that returns well." - Yannick Noah
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sunday.

three missed calls.

unregistered number.

i did not mind who it was. but i had a feeling who.

lunchtime.

i just couldn’t hold back.

i had to ask.

“good day! sorry i missed your call. may i know who this is pls? thanks.”

a few exchanges of texts, a call came.

confirmed. it was the ex who was calling.

after a couple of pleasantries (duh?), he asked if i was still available or if i was already taken.

he just got the timing wrong.

i am at a place right now where i am happy. really really happy.

but what got me ticked was what he said to me.

“hindi ka na talaga makapaghintay no?”

the conio in me surfaced.

“oh my god! so you’re like blaming me for everything that has happened?!”

i just let out a chuckle. but that got me really pissed.

i wanted to lash out on him. i wanted to tell him how hurt i was with what he did to me. leaving me out in the cold with no clue as to what happened to us.

but i did not. no need for that. i got my closure a long time ago.

shit ka!

the bench

“For me, I sort of felt like it was kind of a fairytale... but an interesting one. I don't know of anybody who has had a romance quite like this, but I certainly know people who have stuck it out.” – Ryan Gosling
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

i have been sitting, waiting, looking and searching for so long.

many passed.

only few attempted to sit down and talk with me.

to get to know me.

to be with me.

all left.

i never got tired of this.

well... almost.

but, you came right in time before i got up and left the lonely bench.


thank you

for sitting down

and staying

with me.

=)
