same, same...

As I am watching Fated To Loved You, I receive a text message from Nini. This is the message, "No one is rich enough to buy back the past. But, if you have the courage to do better things today, you would be the richest one tomorrow." I know that same message before pa...That was one of the inspiring word from Oscar Wilde. I used to read blogs, books, inspirational quotes, etc.. that will boosts me to go on. I don't usually talks to people, and find a companion to tackle issues, but I always see to it that I tapped my own shoulder, and say "Hey, take it easy, this too shall pass." Its not easy convincing myself, especially when I really know what's in my heart. What's bothering me? What's next? Life has many questions, but like what an article that I have read before says, its okay to encounter different questions in your life. It only means, you are human. More questions, the happier, You are certified. ;=)

But if you will ask me, why do I need to write this blog about that quote from Wilde.

Well, I have one answer, Same, Same, My Friend! That message is also His message.

That moment when I received the message again, Fated. ;=)

yellow sioplet

Wow, parang bading na siopao! actually, small siopao yan with mashed monggo stuff inside, natutuwa ako sa tuwing magoorder sa Chowking nyan. maybe, because its unusual, & its simply, YELLOW! The color strikes! Like what the song of Coldplay goes, " Look at the sky, look how they shine for you, in everything that you do...and it was all YELLOW."

At this time, maybe, I should see everything as YELLOW and be inspired by the other colors that will come along...;=)

- / Passed!

whew! what a work?! i came at around 12 MN (8am-12MN shift) last night to finish the drug testing in San Jose Hospital. the hospital director told his ambulance driver to drop me home. and guess what? TODAY, i am never be coming back...why?
simply, because the Med.Tech does'nt want to be a PATIENT.
this is the first time, i will be writing what a part of my heart tells as i came back home...
it is not easy living life as i am living from my past. i know i must move forward. i know finding a job in the phils is not easy. but, what i know, i have my FAITH & my FAMILY who will support me all the time. i hope that i can bring back the courage, strength, and will to go on and say as i take my road, I PASSED.
i missed ME!!!;=(

what is your default question?

I received a mail from Kuya Jeff from Bo Sanchez soulfood. I am also a subscriber of soulfood, but everytime I received an email, I just read the prayer in the bottom. "Feeling ko pare-pareho lng sinusulat nya. Pero marami pala ko namimiss. I should focus in those words-in between and I should appreciate those little things that comes in my way."

Soulfood blog goes like this...

You have a Default Question that you ask yourself a thousand times a day.
It’s like your OS or Operating System, working in the background.
For many people, their Default Question is “What’s wrong?”
They wake up in the morning and unconsciously ask, “What’s wrong with this day? What’s wrong with my life?”
And throughout the day, they keep asking their Default Question:
“What’s wrong with my husband?”
“What’s wrong with my parents?”
“What’s wrong with my kids?”
“What’s wrong with my job?”
“What’s wrong with my friends?”
And the deadliest Default Question is “What’s wrong with me?”
Some people ask this question again and again throughout the day, it kills their spirit. Because they find so many things wrong about them. No wonder they don’t like themselves!
The question “What’s wrong?” is a very useful question—not as a Default Question—but as a question during emergencies. (When there’s really something wrong!)
What then should be your Default Question?
Key: Appreciation
The Default Question we should ask is, “What’s right?”
Ask it a thousand times a day.
“What’s right about this day? What’s right about my husband? What’s right about my kids? What’s right about my job?”
And especially the very healthy question, “What’s right about me?”
If the Bible is right that you’re really made in the image of God, then by golly gee, you must be a phenomenal human being.
You’ve got stuff in you that are fantastic—and you need to take time to appreciate them.
Remember: Only love can defeat fear. And appreciation is love.
When Jesus healed the ten lepers, only one came back to thank Him. He asked, “Where are the other nine?” On that day, ten were healed physically but only one was healed completely. Ten were healed physically but only one was healed physically and spiritually.
Heal yourself by appreciation. ;=)

Napintas! ;=)

Biag ken Siak

i can say im a pirated ilocano, but with an original Tagalog heart. OMG, Yaya! but, its true. i choose to be with them for almost a year, because i feel happy and comforted when i am with them.imagine, puro lalaki kasama ko.which is an advantage, kasi may kasama na ko sa paglalakad.madalas meron pa ngang natatapilok kada lakad namin, d ba Imaw?! ;=) i forget all my worries sa tuwing umuuwi ako ng bahay. sa mga huling araw na kasam ko sila, i say at the back of my mind, wat if I could extend nga lang...pero, FINALLY na ang lahat. I know God send them kasi alam ni GOD na kailangan ishake ng konti ang buhay ko at may tumapik bigla, sila nga ang dumating, ang mga Lakay! Ukinam! hehehe! When I had a hard times before, wala ko iniisip kundi, kailangan ko maging strong kasi nobody will help me and comfort me in that place.decision ko pumunta ng dxb, so I must stand firm. pero dumating sila, nakisali sa buhay DXB ko..hehehe..marami akong natutunan sa kanila.mga bagay na hindi ko nalaman noon, mga pangyayari na hindi ko naranasan, at mga pagkakataon na hindi maibabalik ng kahapon.i also want to share them my BEST, kaya nga im trying to understand their world. minsan hindi rin kami nagkakaintindihan. pero ang galing, para lang kaming mga bida sa bubble gang...nag-aasaran, nagtatawanan, nag-JC (lam na yun!), party at comfort zone sa pool side (madaming hidden scenes sa poolside..), nakikipagsagutan kay kuya bryan (tulok!), tga-gising ni JM at ni Markito pagkatapos ko maligo, tga-timpla ng kape ni Imaw (masarap dw ako magtimpla ng kape, kaya ayun nagpabola nmn ako!), tga-kain sa sinigang na isda palagi ni Imaw, tga-tikim sa dinakdakang sibuyas ni JM, at siyempre ang masasarap na luto ni ate lorraine, kuya joepher,at ate chandy (asan na ba si kuya myk? bka nsa maktoum bridge pa din..hehehe) oopps, parang tga-tikim lng ako dati ah.....hehehe..marami pa kaming hindi makakalimutang moments, kungbaga, nka-frame na yun sakin, ewan ko lang sa kanila.hehehe! pinipilit kong isantabi lahat ng mga alaala, pero mahirap, bigla na lang may luha na sumisingit unti-unti sa maliit kong mata...namimiss ko na silang lahat. lalo na ang mga taong huli kong nakasama, kasi i felt and learned what is CARE all about. narealize ko na hindi kailangan na matagal mo ng kakilala or kaibigan ang taong magpapahalaga sayo. it can be showed even by some strangers that will leave a mark in your whole life. and that is what i felt with them. Life is made with different things, pero there is one factor that connect each one of us. lagi kong babalikbalikan anuman ang nakaraan, kahit wala na kayong pakialam. dahil dun ko lang makukuha ang lakas para harapin ang anuman na nais kong simulan. kayo ay isa sa mga nagbigay ulit ng kulay sa mapusyaw kong paligid noon. tulad nga ng kanta sa paborito nating panoorin every Sat at DXB time, "Just Chew It w/the BUBBLE GANG." tuloy lang sa pag-nguya...Kasta pay! -Salam-;=)

with love-Anjulina ;=)

Balikbayan Dolls

kring, kring, kring.....goodmorning, stargate! mag-follow-up lang po ko kung kailan po idedeliver yung cargo ko? Stargate: "Ma'am ano po bang receipt number nyo?" , Ako: "91045." Stargate: "Ma'am kakareceive lang po namin dito sa office ng cargo nyo from UAE, paki-intay na lang po for delivery jan sa Calamba." Ako: tsktsktsk...waiting mode (exponential times....).

(November 10, 2008) Nakareceive ang nanay ng text from Stargate, "Ma'am kami po yung magdedeliver ng cargo nyo from Stargate (they don't know that the sender was HOME already, tagal kc nila magdeliver...hehehehe!), saan po ba ang location nyo?" siyempre, dinetalye ng Nanay ang address namin dun sa Manong na magdedeliver. lumipas ang mga oras, nagdeliver pa sa ibang part ng laguna yung delivery boy kaya medyo hapon na sila nakarating dito samin. Heto na, nakapasok na ng gate yung cargo box. Welcome balikbayan box! Dun lang siya sa may terrace kasi mabigat, nd namin kaya ipasok ng nanay sa loob ng bahay. Sabi ko sa Nanay, "buksan na natin yan, puro damit ko lang naman yan at ilang gamit."

Ginupit ko na yung tape na nakapalibot sa box. Super dami kasi nung pinagdidikit namin ni Markito sa Dubai. Masyadong mahigpit, kaya dahan-dahan para hindi magupit mga damit ko. Naku, wala ko maiisuot kapag nagupit yun. Heto na, bukas na yung box! Una kong nakita yung mga dolls na bigay ng mga kaopismates at mga kaibigan sa Dubai. Dolls from vendo machine sa ibaba ng office sa Warba Building. After lunch kasi, we used to stroll before going back to work. I had 8 dolls from Kuya Robin, Mhaqui, Yong, Jay-Em, Jax, and Reim. i treasured them a lot, kasi eventhough those dolls cost a single dirham, or just free from something, for Me, "a gift is costless if it comes from the heart." Ayan, tapos na tayo sa Balikbayan dolls.

Kasunod na laman ng balikbayan box ay ang mga damit ko, jackets (which is my comfort, because extreme weather changes cause to trigger my asthma attack), and some stuffs for the house. Yun lang ang laman ng box. After 3 years stay in DXB. hehehehe..Weird noh?! wala ng iba pa... I prefer not to buy anything, kasi wala din naman akong pambili. hehehehe! plus, I had some disturbances at the time when I am going. In short, I just want to go home. Those, things that I packed from the box are the things that I treasured most. Mga simpleng bagay na kung tutuusin ay walang kuwenta kung ikukumpara sa mga laman ng mga cargo box na ipinapadala ng ibang balikbayan sa Pilipinas. Pabonggahan sila di ba? Mas madami, mas masaya ang pamilya dito sa Pinas. May corned beef, sabon, electronics na bagong labas, LCD TV, chocolates na iba't-iba (mas sosyal pa kung Swiss!), perfumes (signatured pa!), lotions (Jergens, Nivea, Victoria's,etc), basta lahat signatured items, para sosyalan! Eh, yung sakin puro damit, litrato, bags, sabon (few lang..hehehehe...), date bars, and the balikbayan dolls. Pero para sa akin sa loob ng tatlong taon sa DXB, mga simpleng bagay na hindi ko makakalimutan ang iniuwi ko dito sa Pinas. Mga bagay na hindi maihahambing at mababago kahit ilang taon pa. Marami man akong hindi natapos, napuntahan, at naranasan na ibang bagay, alam ko, may nakahandang plano si Direk sa susunod na project. "Nakasulat na ang linya, babasahin ko na lang."

Sa ngayon, I am continually inspired by the Balikbayan dolls from my box.

Hello Tomorrow!

I really don't know what to write for the moment. Because what I want is to spin it counterclockwise. I miss my 3 years before, but I am hopeful for a great Tomorrow. God bless.
