I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
--I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Do you believe in Angels?

I cannot deny the fact that they do exist in my life - through the people I meet everyday. Don't you get surprised when at certain points of your career, or your personal life go astray, there is always this one unexpected person who'd somehow, at the perfect time and at the perfect place, seem to be there to make things a little bit easier, a little bit brighter without you knowing it? And then you just feel you're good.
Life is a roller coaster of emotions and this ride could be really really terrifying. I have made an important life decision and the next 2-3 weeks would determine a lot of things in my life. But I will not fight what I am destined to become or where I am destined to be. I'm somewhat in a suspended mode where I can neither move on or move forward. Times like these you just want to sleep the days out and just wake up one day after your worries have passed. But thank goodness for Angels.
  1. Naoe for being so thoughtful and always caring.
  2. Mrs. Cleaning Lady who I always exchange cheerful 'hi's!'.
  3. Ms. S.bucks Barrista for remembering my 'itsumono'. I feel like a Starbucks VIP.
  4. Og for arranging everything in our Batanes tour.
  5. Coach - am really lucky to have as confidante.
  6. Nohara for the very big embrace!
  7. Mr. N for working very hard, and for all my p. members for the dedication and respect they give.
  8. Lolo for saying good things to me and being honest.
  9. The 'Green Boys' for making me laugh so hard.
  10. CSC for being good stakeholders.
  11. My TLs and PLs for all the hard work and cooperation.
  12. My c.mates! for allowing me to let go of my crazy sides.
  13. Tita who learned her lesson and now consults me.
  14. Jaybee for finally graduating~
  15. Sis Cathy for taking my place in the family.
  16. My 'nomikai' buddies who accepts me for who I am.
  17. Kuya who wanted to buy me McDo.
  18. Taiju who gave an honest response on marriage.
  19. K.Wang who admitted that he's 'chicken to accept my dare!'
  20. LaunchCast who reminds me that I should never forget to sing Praise and Glory to the Lord.
And thank God it's Friday!

The Day That Has Been

Miscellaneous. My friend Oggie and I were chatting about how our lives have changed recently and how amazing it is to keep up with our lives and share our thoughts and realize that there is a greater purpose in life via our own blogs!
I'm Off To Batanes. Oggie said he couldn't reserve 2 for the Batanes plan 'coz it's Holy Week. I said, it's OK I could just go straight to Beijing. And then around late afternoon, he buzzed me and gave me the greatest news. He was able to reserve 1 more slot! Wow! It's such a great blessing. And I am one lucky girl! If it's meant to be..it is meant to be!
At work. Finally CP decision has been announced. I'm relieved. I can release Applix in March. I can close DBA TOI in April. Yahoo! But I need to make a tough decision tomorrow.
Friends Connect. I received nice praises from Marla and Vekie 'bout my blog. Naoe also said it's great. Feeling shy tuloy ako hehehehe. Had nice chat with Blesh, hahahahaha, I'm sure she'd raise her eyebrows when she reads the last section here. Jonathan just buzzed me out of nowhere, discovered we're both SFC. Emman dropped a couple of hi's but doesn't want to go with me to Beijing 'coz he's just there last year. Ahh, got a really long email from Gaily. Just finished chatting with Carlo.
On my Honey Bunny. He asked me what's going to be my decision tomorrow. I said I don't know. I'll find out once I answer the M$ ? Told him my vacation plans and tomorrow's secret ****. I better be honest. He informed me about N's plans (now I know they talk about CP all the time) at least I can prepare in advance ~ times like these are what Honey Bunnies are for hehehehe.

Friendships and Love

Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget. You can only go as far as you push. Actions speak louder than words. Don't let the past hold you back; you're missing the good stuff. Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while, you might miss it. A best friend is like a four leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have. If you think that the world means nothing, think again. You might mean the world to someone else. When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there True friendship never ends. Friends are forever. Good friends are like stars....You don't always see them, but you know they are always there. Don't frown. You never know who is falling in love with your smile. NOBODY IS PERFECT UNTIL YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM. (Isn't that the truth?) Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end. Most people walk in and out of you life. But only True friends leave footprints in your heart. There may be somebody who is thinking about you RIGHT NOW and wishing that you were around. That's the wonderful thing about friendship-you always feel loved and cared about. The most important thing to remember is... Always appreciate the friends that you have. A fight may come and go very easily, but a friendship could last forever. For every second spent in anger, a minute of happiness is wasted.


The bottom line is that (a) people are never perfect, but love can be, (b) that is the one and only way that the mediocre and vile can be transformed, and (c) doing that makes it that. We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.
