Sunshine

It's a lovely day, just got paid,
Stack it up, be on my way,
Lovely day, lovely day,
Lovely day,

Theme song of the day! Coz it's payday woohoo! And when I have money, I gotta go shopping YEBAH!

---

There are two trends na gusto kong patulan sa shopping escapade ko - either the flats trend or the pink trend.

This is what I wanted to buy sana:

Starpump perforated in white, black. P1950. From X:ODUS

Kaso it's too expensive! Budget ko lang sana 1K.

Pero eto gusto ko sanang patulan... two trends in one shoe yebah!

Buckled pump with kitten heel, in bright yellow, bubblegum pink. P895. From JANYLIN

O diba, less than 1K, flats na, pink pa hehehe...

Pero pagdating ko ng Janilyn kanina, sadness, yung yellow na lang. Ay, di kakayanin ng powers ko yan noh! Besides naisip ko kanina na puro closed na yung shoes ko and pinagtatatapon ko na yung mga sandals ko (kasi sila'y kalumaan na). Tsaka meron na pala akong dalawang flats na binili last month kaya yun na yun.

I'll buy something pink na lang. ^_^

While I was looking through MSN yesterday, I stumbled into their shopping portal. Hahahha, and then I saw this: Editor's Picks: Purple Fashion Trends! Woohoo! Purple is in, yebah!

---

A girl named Jenny (who I don't know from Adam) from MySpace wrote me a message advertising her friends' shirt company. Anyhoo, I went over to the site, and they feature really cute shirts. Check it out if you're nerdy and you know it!

That's it for now... Toodles ^_^

I turned over the minor enhancement to Mommy Shaws. She said I needed to concentrate on the major enhancement with Ketket. I'm sooo behind schedule already.

Last Wednesday and Thursday, I asked Dar to drive me to Ortigas because of the heavy rains. Lo and behold, not a complaint from him. Except to ask me not to go to work na lang. Haaay.

---

Nag-OT ako nung Wednesday. I sent Dar a message informing him nga na I had to stay in the office after 5. Around 6 pm he sent me a message "Anong oras kita susunduin?" Almost fell off my chair.

Antaas ng score ni Darice sa exams nya! 93 sa Language, 95 sa Reading and 97 sa Math! Yebah! Mathematician ang anak ko ^_^

Yosi buddy ko na pala si Seatmate Sixto. Ka-weird-ohan.

Updated na pala ang aking wedding preps blog. Kahit na mejo I always ride a roller coaster of emotions when it comes to Dar, I still want to get married to him. (Gusto nyo ba akong batukan? Hahahaha)

Ano Daw?

Ba't ba ayaw mong asikasuhin anak mo? Pahiga-higa ka lang naman dyan?

Watdafuck? Eh ikaw? Diba paupo-upo ka lang naman dyan sa Ragnarok mo? Kaya sinabi kong bababa lang ako kung bababa ka rin is to make you get off your freaking ass, and sabay sabay tayo magdinner! Is it so bad to ask you to stop playing for a little while so we can have dinner as a family?

Sabi ko nga kay E*, mahirap ng makahanap ng nagmamahal sayo. Kaya dapat di na siya makipagbreak sa girlfriend niya. Mahal na mahal nun si E* eh.

Ganun? You're going to stay with somebody because that somebody loves you, even though di mo sya mahal? And so that person won't get hurt? Di ba mas masakit yon na niloloko nya yung babae? Eh di na pala nya mahal eh, pinipilit pa nya sarili na na mahalin yung babae. That is so wrong. Are you just staying with me because I love you?

Tinanong na nga kita kahapon. Ibig sabihin napansin ko na. Diba dapat ma-gets mo na dapat tigilan mo na or hindi mo araw-arawin pagyo-yosi mo?

Nope di ko gets. Katulad ng di mo pagka-gets na asar na asar na asar na ako sa paglalaro mo. Katulad ng di mo pagka-gets na ang pakikipag-flirt sa ibang babae ay di normal sa isang relationship. Katulad ng di mo pagka-gets kung bakit ako nagyoyosi.

Suwerte nga nya diba, friends lang sila, tapos ganon ka-sweet. Di nga lang alam ni girlfriend nya.

Ows talaga? Eh kung magkaroon din ako ng friend na ganon, at sweet kami, at di mo alam, masusuwertehan ka pa rin ba?

Hinde, wag na tayo magka-baby uli. Si Darice na lang, tas paglaki nya, mag-enjoy na lang tayo.

Marami nakong binitawang pangarap, pati ba naman yan? Na makasama ka habang buntis ako? Na maalagaan mo ako araw-araw habang naglilihi ako? Na maalalayan mo ako habang lumalaki na tiyan ko? Na matulog sa tabi mo habang hinihimas-himas mo tyan ko, at maramdaman mong sumisipa ang baby natin? Ayaw mo ba non?

---

Di ko na yan masabi sa kanya. Di ko kasi naisagot sa kanya at the time na sinabi nya. Nashock ata masyado yung utak ko nung marealize ko na naisip at nasabi nya yang mga yan.

Hindi ko na ata kilala 'tong taong 'to.

Workload

Gawd.

I have so much work to do.

My minor enhancement for the team is ending on August 30. A major enhancement just started last August 18. So I'm sandwiched between thoroughly testing my modifications for the minor enhancement, and learning the ropes of the new major enhancement. Add to that, the enhancements are for two completely different modules! My brain is having a hard time coping with all the information that I learned for the first module, and the information I'm still struggling with for the second module. I've been going home around 6 pm for the past couple of days just to do all this!

My concern is for the second enhancement. It involves a lot of technologies - Natural and PB (which I already learned and trained for), and *drumroll please* Java! Good thing the Java part for the enhancement will start in two weeks, so I have a little time to brush on my Java skills (huh? what skills? *toink*)

My team leader Love just left last Friday.

God... MMS is not the same without her.

Oh well... at least I had the chance to show her another side of me last Friday. I was assigned to organize the going-away 'party' for her - the gifts, the food, and collection of payment. Actually, what I really did was just organize the suggestions for the gift (5 People You Meet In Heaven), the food (Yellow Cab pizzas - #4 Cheese and Meatlovers) and the most crucial of all, the payment (60 pesos each). I actually came up with the bookmarks idea - instead of a card, we could give her each a bookmark with our own special message. Love is a certified book lover, so what better idea to remember us by?

So that kept me occupied all last week. Buying the bookmarks, scouting the bookstores for the book (National had it for 775 bux! But good thing Lory was able to purchase it from Powerbooks for a discounted price of 620 pesos, woohoo!), asking Mommy Shaws if there's enough funds for the food... Whew! Love's going-away party was my launching event! I had to do this right!

But everything went well last Friday. ^_^

I think Love really appreciated the bookmarks hehehe. =D

The best thing about that Friday was that Mommy Shaws and Love and me went over my evaluation. I was so near tears during the whole time, because I didn't know what to feel - excitement, apprehension, gratitude. I really appreciated what Love had to say in my evaluation. I was so grateful that she saw the potential in me, and that she saw what I was trying to do the whole time. God, Love, don't leave MMS, huhuhu... =...(

And that is why I'm going nuts regarding the minor enhancement. There is no Love to rescue me.

Enough about work already!

Some of the things that take my mind off work in the office are our batch blind items*. Tsismis, woohoo!

As of now, we have three blind items.

1. Same year Soluziona batch, same school in college. Boy likes girl ^_^

2. Newbie likes girl "playmate" of guy.... newbie and girl are from same Soluziona batch and school ^_^

3. Magkafloor! Sila ang new item ngayon!

The only mystery in the above blind items is number one. I was the one who "broke" the story of number 2 (mwahahahahha!). Now number three is the best blind item of all.

Our batch is assigned to two different floors, the 4th floor where the MMS, CMS, FMS and EIS peeps are assigned, and the 11th floor, where the DMS peeps are assigned. So first, we investigate the 11th floor peeps. Take out all those with SO's... and we're left with two guys. And one of those guys actually, and for sure, knows the love birds concerned in blind item number 3!

So scrap the 11th floor peeps.

Now. Let's look at the 4th floor peeps. Let's take out all those with SO's, and we're left with 4 peeps... three guys and one girl. Let's take out the other two guys... coz they're highly impossible. And we're left with a highly improbable couple! (Just as Sherlock Holmes said - eliminate the impossible, whatever's left, however improbable, is the answer!)

So... Yayie and I have been busy yapping about this 'couple' - all the 'coincidences', all the hidden meanings we find in our group pop whenever one denies or just stays quiet about the blind items.... It is definitely driving us nuts trying to figure out how we can make the couple own up to their blossoming romance! Hahahha. =D The best thing about this is, what if they're not really an item? And we've just been 'kilig' like crazy about the two of them being together?!? Hahahahahah =D We really really really want the two of them to be blind item number 3! They're both quiet, but they're fun to be with... basta they're bagay!!!

---

That's what I do at the office. Multi-task to death with my two enhancements. Then I take a break thanks to those blind items.

Haay gossip. What would I do without you?

*Batch - same year of joining Soluziona. I'm an honorary member of batch 2003 because I was the first new employee for 2004. So right now when I say batch, it means batch 2003 and 2004.

3 Questions

I want everyone who reads this to ask me three questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want. Then I want you to go to your own blog/journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.

Ask me in the comment section. I'll answer your questions there too.

(taken from manofmars' blog)


Kaya po finally naglagay na rin ako ng pang-comments para magawa 'tong 3 questions na gimik na 'to...

Quickie

Sheesh, nabasa ko yung previous post ko. Kinilabutan ako. Nagdrama na naman ba ako?

---

Meron na naman ka-text 'tong si Dar na girlaloo ex-classmate. Ah ewan ko ba kung bakit... sobrang gwapo ba talaga ng boyfriend ko?!?! Anyways, sinabihan ko na sya na naasar ako sa ganon. Biro mo, magkuwe-kuwentuhan sa text with that girl, tapos pag ako nagtext sa kanya, suwerte nako kung mag-reply sya. Lech.

Nakita ko kasi yung SENT folder na lang. Aba merong oi, tapos na ba class mo, fishball tayo sa vanguard.

Tinginang-kooking-ina.

Nagkausap na kami, and he cleared things up. I did state clearly na lumayo na sya sa temptation. Kasi kahit na friendly lang talaga si girlaloo eh ma-ego-trip na naman sya at malulong sa bisyo nyang leche.

Nilambing naman ako ng todo-todo kagabi eh. Oks na yon.

---

May bago akong seatmate sa office. Sobrang tangkad - 6'2". At di ko ma-take, ang seryoso. Nagbabasa ng HTML and Java codes using Notepad. Maryosep. And parang di na nya tinanggal yung headphones nya. Fine. Shy naman ako kunyari eh.

---

And eto namang frontmate ni seatmate eh merong ginawang katangahan. We were discussing the newbie kasi using Pop (network messenger). Tapos sabi ko dun sa mga messages ko na di kaya ng powers ko na maging friendly kasi seryoso sya although nung nagkasalubong kami kaninang umaga i smiled at him and he smiled back (grabe kilig hahahah) or something to that effect. We can all conclude naman diba na sarcastic ako dun sa kilig na part. So sabi ni frontmate ni seatmate eh isali namin sya sa pop group ng batch. Sabi ko sya ang magsabi. Aba, ang ginawa ni frontmate ni seatmate eh ni-forward nya yung pop conversation namin sa akin, and kay seatmate (with all my comments about his seriousness and the sarcastic kilig part!)

I almost melted in my seat when I realized kung anong nagawa ni frontmate ni seatmate.

Maryosep.

Pero, mukhang okay lang naman si seatmate kasi nakasabay ko sya for lunch and wala naman syang kyeme at nagulat ako ha at mahirit sya. Before I only knew three things about him... his name, his height and that he's Chinese. Ngayon alam ko na nanonood sya ng MTV Punk'd and Victim Extreme.

Haaay. Halo-halong kuwento. Dami pa eh pero next time uli. Have to eat dinner pa.

Dear Darice

I have to write this so that you'll know what truly love is.

It wasn't what you saw this morning. There was no love there, Darice. There was only anger, resentment and distrust. Do not ever mistake what you saw as love. I repeat, there was no love there.

So how would you know? I hope this passage from the Bible helps...

1 Corinthians 13:4

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

You know me Darice. I'm not an avid Bible reader, nor do I have a rigorous religous life. But this passage says it all, baby.

And I still believe that the love described is possible, Darice.

I had it once, felt it once, reveled in it once.

That love was when he came over to my house when Mommy found out I was pregnant. That love was when he took care of me when I got sick. That love was when he gave me those roses for no reason at all. That love was when we snuck out of the house and spent a lazy summer afternoon swimming. That love was when he laid down beside me after I gave birth to you. That love was when he held me while I cried, worried that I might not be a good mother to you. That love was when he endured every afternoon visiting us, his child, and the mother of his child. That love was when he finally gave up his other woman and came to get us. That love was when he chose us. That love was when he would hold my hand while we walked to class. That love was when he would put his arms around me while we rode a jeep home. That love was when he would gently touch my hair while I went to sleep.

That was the love I knew.

And where is it now, Darice? Honestly, I really don't know. Time. Time and life just took it all away. I am left with just these, these memories. Time does not heal all wounds, without love, it makes them fester and rot. But love, love will definitely heal all those wounds, those once inflicted, and those worsened by time.

The heart never forgets. It forgives, but it always remembers. Maybe that is why love left us. The heart had too many bad memories, too few good ones. Or maybe there were a lot of good memories, but I chose the bad ones to stay. I'm sorry.

I don't want you to get confused. You might grow up thinking that love behaves a certain way. That love will forgive a certain action, a certain behavior. But if it is truly love, there will be no need to forgive, because no harm will ever be done. Lies will abound when you grow up, pretending to be love, and you will not know it. But you will know love at once, because it has no lies.

I want you to get your hopes up. Yes, you read it right. Expect that love to happen to you. It happened to me! And when you find it, enjoy every moment of it. You deserve nothing less, Darice. Oh, I do want you so much to find that love. Love that is passion and romance and friendship and respect and trust all at once.

But do not mourn over it when it dies, Darice. Because I did, and I still am, and it will just break your heart over and over and over again. It will not leave any good memories, Darice, only the ugliest ones.

Oh Darice, I have so many things to tell you and to teach you. I wish you'd grow up already so that you'd understand. So that I can make you see, that this love I'm talking about, that I'm writing about, will someday come true for you.

And you will love every minute of it.

Quiz(zes) Time!

Came from Reghz's and decided to try all the quizzes she tried... para ma-compare ko rin hehehe ^_^

You Are an Exotic Beauty!

No matter what your ehtnic background, you've got a unique look and your one of a kind beauty makes an imprint in every man's mind.
You hardly ever wear the same outfit twice, and your hair is always changing.
As a result, your look is always new and fresh - never outdated or stale.

What Type of Beauty Are You? Take This Quiz :-)

Wow....... Exotic! I like! Never ko naman naisip na ako yung tipong sobrang ganda na talagang mapapansin ng tao eh. (Di po ako humble. Ganyan talaga ako mag-isip.) Yung exotic more of the kind of beauty that grows on you eh... hehehehe... yung bang the more you see me, paganda ako ng paganda hehehe ^_^

Your Lip Gloss Flavor Is: Dr. Pepper

Saying that you're one of a kind is ... well ... an understatement.
You're unusual, quirky, wacky - and you love to challenge people.
And you are a total trendsetter. Your friends are quick to copy your fashion and music tastes.
Which is why Dr. Pepper Lip Gloss is your perfect flavor. It's as rare and outrageous as you are.

What Flavor Lip Gloss Are You? Take This Quiz :-)

So weird...... way back in high school, I had a Dr. Pepper lip gloss! Which my friends absolutely loved because it left a sheer rosy color and sweet tingling taste. Nakakamiss tuloy yung lip gloss ko na yon! (Wala non dito sa Pinas eh, galing sa States yon, pasalubong ng tita ko)





And for the best quiz there is... (because I am definitely craving coffee right now!)

You Are a Plain Ole Cup of Joe

But don't think plain - instead think, uncomplicated.
You're a low maintenance kind of girl... who can hang with the guys.
Down to earth, easy going, and fun! Yup, that's you: the friend everyone invites..
And your dependable too. Both for a laugh and a sympathetic ear.

What Kind Of Coffee Are You? Take This Quiz :-)

Hahahah so true. Kahit naman kasi anong kape papatulan ko eh (except that one time na naglagay ako ng malamig na tubig sa kape ko kasi masyadong mainit tapos buko juice pala yung nailagay ko lech. di ko na pinatulan yun ha, down the drain kaagad).





So dami ba kayo natutunan about me?
