changing times

I have moved from my BB space to iP...missing bbm pals though but apps are just irresistible (and the peer pressure was building too)

but it didn't come easy though and i was just disgusted how superficial shortage was taking toll; might be a marketing strategy or would it be that everyone is grabbing iP in time for year end bonus

i have to queue at 9am on a lazy sunday but i was lucky no 2. thanks for a colleague who recommended that cuppage area was not that popular and units are higher than other sales office

so far its performing above expectations though contributing to my procastination.....maybe for just a short run

modern pre-nup vid

I am watching (yes, still watching) a modern pre-nup by a bold videographer jason m featuring a soon to be wed maggie and jason...not the typical pre-nup, its steamy and hot, hahaha

no wonder, maggie bagged the trending spot in yahoo and continuously receiving a negative comments from the strict&straight peeps.

submarine's ear

It took me for a while to digest a speaker's note "be a submarine's ear, where your skills will yield favorable direction and where not everybody has a gift to listen to those magical sounds"

instead of pinging whereby sending waves to ensure there is no blockage in direction, be like of those silent killer's ear where you can listen to risks and thereby make worthy judgment :)

JLC for reel???

I have a fantastic dream this morning, JLC was there. So much of imortal I guess thus bringing me closer to JLC.

But it was actually platonic thingy, can I ask for more anyway its just a dream, teehee!

postcrossing madness

I signed up for a postcrossing thingy, i fancy receiving letter with stamps all over the place. during my younger years, I have paid a $1 to something like intl youth services for international correspondence and gee i really did find some friends (two of them are now my FB friends and im still hoping to find the friend one but to no avail)

philately came in and i guess the interest is still within me. signing up for the postcrossing came in naturally and just revived a part of me (should i be singing jose mari's "i feel like seventeen again?"). i have linked up my two girls as well, so much excitement knowing our cards are travelling around the globe :)

Conquering my fear #101

finally, i conquered my fear capped with same courage streaks rooted from within. Twas amazing actually as i borrowed our tagline.

i was out to start my day with the thought of doing a cycle count somewhere the red dot but it was pushed out to make way for an outdoor activity for FW.

didn't i know the start of my afternoon was a cable ride, yeah right the dreaded cable ride which i have eluded for the past few years. to cut the story short, i didn't join the team with a drama, i was cool and pretentious but hey i made it. not sure if it was because of the drizzling effect made my ride a breeze or i was just in the mood to be out of my comfort zone - face your fear and conquer it :)

the rest of the afternoon was a mini-amazing race for the 5 teams and we ended up 2nd place. and did i forget to mention holding the scorpion on behalf of the team? i could imagine them gawking on my boldness....but did i reallywent overboard????

Res ipsa loquitor

There is a fine line between what is real and a make-believe, but patiently wait as the thing will speak for itself. Sigh!

No matter how I laid down my cards, there will still some sort of wishful thinking that somehow things will go the way I want it to be. Reverberating sigh!

At the end of the day, I am just wasting my time. No means of deductive reasoning can escape this unless I myself would continue to live in my make-believe world.

when help is useless

facing another dilemma again....losing the importance of helping people especially you are extending to your hand to one sided bunch of hypocrites..

damn, never felt this emotion again for some time, btw, its work related so I cannot expound details...how i wish i could :( major pissed off :(

Toll VAT issues

Not really a tax person but it seems a big question nowadays if government can impose VAT on government services such as toll.

Got a chance to listen to Recto and Henares discussion this morning. The sponsor of the bill and the implementor of the act were arguing on the inclusion and exclusion portion of the law...both have different view coming from legislative and tax perspectives.

Bottomline is goverment is pursuing this for a one billion monthly estimated collection who has a direct hit to the public.

new role, new perspective

Am changing roles and effectivity begins fully now.

Though I tried not to include work thingy in my blog and avoid dropping tiny bits of info but I just feel like documenting it. After two and half years of supporting this category, am moving to another role completely.

Its a mixed emotions as I tend to leave my work that I have been used to and being introduced to a new set of knowledge....but this is life. I chose it, i need to stand by it and be happy at the end of the day (that matters most) :)

N.B. the pix was taken during the last team building, holding on the kite we made of transforming things into something AMAZING!!

blog more and more

My blog is turning two but I still wish i have blogged more (more...more...) rather than keeping stiff pace with entertainment news :p

Looking back the two years span I have missed a lot of things to blog about, i was thinking to convert into a tumblr account for convenience but still I am a sentimental fool - this blogspot will always remain special.

trust and betrayal

Two magical words that I am so sensitive about and been hounding me for years :(

In my life I am fortunate to look back on a number of people trusted me...people who in one way or another touched my life. But sad to say I betrayed some of them and broke their hearts :(

I have my own ways of justiying myself but at the end of the rope I still shattered their trust. Whoever says it doesn't break my heart to reminisce is absolutely wrong. I have read few years back, it has a reverse impact and it is true :(

And now I am getting my own dose of medicine and I am so paranoid with all the circumstances that is laid upon my eyes. Emotions are on a roller coaster but at the end of the day I will just console my self that what goes around comes around....

swept by the sea

Sea gave a magical gift ten years back...someone swept by the sea. But it seems that the high tide is indeed high that I am seamlessly tired of watching it floating near by. So near and yet so far....so close and yet its untrue...

And as times go by wishing the moon is still by my side, someone who can give me light in my darkest nights...someone who can remind me how as a star I need to shine, oh I miss those times :( How i blamed myself for being so frail by gazing away.

As a firefly, my light withers, it falters. I pray that I can still guide the path in the four corners.

I am holding on to the moon or to the sea, that I cannot tell.

working from home

One of the best things in this role is the ability to work from home. Like this classic example where i can reset my password as I messed it up and sending the link to a VIP who I am earnestly hoping to take a glance at this site :)

I will be changing from a category to a supply chain role..which I have the strongest fear as I am not a Cost person. Well, goodluck to me.

can i sip a hot tea in Brussels?

I am enjoying an idea to sip a hot tea in Brussels soon. Actually, twas my friend (an ex-colleague) of mine that asked me to entertain that idea. And that small dream of going out of Asia has finally awaken inside of me. I was thinking its quite frivolous for a mother of four to travel half the globe just for a tea. On the other thought, if this is the last year of my life, isn't it fantastic to reach the Europe soil just for a few moment.

But who knows....not keen to be a jetsetter but I might just be there before the year ends wohooo!!! in my dreams though :(

dream-ish scene

one of the best things you got out of dozing off early is remember details of your dreams...i know i sound so childlike but i just love this dream :)

it was so intent, someone i knew staring at me and only at me amidst crowd, halfway we met and telling me i just looked something so much alike than (he didn't continue) but he was hoping eventually in the end we will end up together.....

gee, a dream just like anyone's dream really exists just before the alarm clock hit its task, reality just had bitten me :(

National anthem fury

My mind is a frenzy with the idea that nation is divided in opinion just after being united with one's victory.

Isn't it weird - after unfailingly displaying low crime rate event after event and everybody is in the tune of posting and taking pride on how to be Pinoy - there will be talks for the need to apologise or else be sued for singing the National Anthem which is different that what the law entailed. Ridiculous!

We are such a hypocrite gang that one can be imprisoned by singing from his heart slightly but not on a marching hymn and let those plunderers get away with the Citizen's money. No wonder, the country who used to be used be sought after in the 70's is now dependent to the massive human skills export.

eat love pray

I am starting to read the EAT LOVE PRAY by Liz Gilbert (a traveller)

It was a warm writing but enlightening especially the way she described how she started communicating to God - indeed talking to the Divine Providence is such a personal experience.

The story was about her visit to Indonesia, India and Italy - which by fate are all starting in letter I.

It was heartwarming, light and entertaining masterpiece. No wonder, many women are recommending this - behind my back, would it be possible for me to write something on the same note. Nahhh - first, i should be carrying a pocket note for me to remember fairly, second - find a quality time to produce quality words for keeps and third - be rich in vocabulary which I am afraid I am only carrying less than half a bucket (never mind the grammar).

Now my mind is even wondering hmmmmmm imagining is never been that bad :)
