Tough Decision

I made my final decision already. Will no longer audition for Pinoy Big Brother Season 2. Why? After finding out that there will also be an international audition, fighting with two strangers at the mrt station, not knowing what to wear for the pictorial, semis schedule of SMB next week and the upcoming salary increase, I totally lost my interest. Sorry, tabel :) I know you've been very supportive of me. Try ko na lang next time.. hihihihihi....

Just an Ordinary Day

2nd day of my morning workout, started it last Sunday. Iba talaga ang tama ng exercise, hindi ako tinatamad maghapon pero medyo masakit pa ang legs ko ngayon, hehehehe.. :D. On my second week, I plan to lessen my food intake, in short diet ako. Sa ngayon kasi, though nag-wo-workout ako, hindi ko muna binawasan ung food intake ko kasi baka mawalan ako ng resistensya.. unti-untiin ko lang :P. Sana tuluy-tuloy na to! :)

Where Do I Go From Here?

I've been working for more than 5 years now... 5 years, 6 months and 1 day to be exact. I've been into different designations... I was once a Developer Trainee, Design Engineer, Test Engineer and now a System Developer doing Installer stuff. Why am I writing this? Last Saturday, I started to contemplate on the things that happened to me for the last 5 years of my life.

I know, as of this very moment, I have given my family the best years of their lives. I love my parents so much, and I'm willing to do anything to make them happy. For the past 5 years, I know I have spent quality time with them giving all what they want and what they need (except for a house & lot :p). As an employee, I may not be the best among my contemporaries but I have given my 100% in every single task assigned to me. I've been a good friend, I still am. Unfortunately, I ended up dealing with unworthy creatures but, I'm hopeful that one day I would be able to share my life with the deserving ones. I'm starting all over again. And I'm still grateful that I have that one friend who knows the true meaning of friendship, hope you won't change, sis! :)

The last 2 years are the most fruitful years of my life: I got promoted, I met so many people from different walks of life, I learned to love my family, work and friends a lot deeper and I found my place in this organization. I am only 26, but I want to plan my future now! Tomorrow may be too late. What do I really want? Do I want to continue my career in IT, or put up a business, work overseas, try my luck in showbusiness (as if! :p), get married next month? Actually, I don't know. One thing is sure though, I want to try something new. Money? Of course, I want to earn more money but more than that, I want to use my skills, I want to have control of my time and my work. I am a born leader, I know what I want and I know how to get it. I don't want to waste my time and energy in an environment where I can see no future.

I've reached a point in life where it's no longer necessary to try to impress. If they like me the way I am, that's good. If they don't, that's too bad." ~ Corazon Aquino

Kim Chui - Teen Big Winner

While watching PBBTE Big Night last Saturday, I couldn't help myself but to admire the big winner, Kim Chiu! This cutie chinese from Cebu really made an impact inside the house. Talented, innocent and full of hope. Congatulations, Kim! By the way, here's the Tagalog version of Peng You:

Kaibigan

Sa lahat ng luha
Lagi kang may kasama
Sa gitna ng ulan
Karamay mo ako kaibigan

Sa tatahakin mong daan
Di kita iiwan
Di ka na mag iisa kaibigan

Ating pagkakaibigan
Di magbabago kailanman
Kahit na magkalayo
Nandito ka sa aking puso

Instrumental

Ating pagkakaibigan
Di magbabago kailanman
Kahit na magkalayo
Nandito ka sa aking puso

Magkaibigan kahit kailan

Hhhhmmmm... Carry Ko Kaya?

Napanood ko last Wednesday sa TV Patrol yung training na ginagawa ni Manny Pacquiao in preparation for his fight against Larios (sorry, forgot his first name). Pinakita ung pag-jogging nya sa isang park. Hmmm... bigla tuloy akong nagka-idea. Matagal ko ng planong magbawas ng timbang, as in! I weigh 119 lbs, hindi naman over sa age and height ko pero feeling ko it would be better to have at most, 112 lbs. :D. So, told myself to do a thrice-a-week jogging at 5:30 am every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. Yes, Wednesdays and Fridays, before going to work :). Start na ko dapat kaninang umaga kaso, bigla akong nagdalawang-isip. E saan naman ako tatakbo? Kung sa neigborhood, medyo kelangan ko pa ng konting pa-kondisyon (medyo shy ang lola e.. :P). Naisip ko naman, bakit di ko simulan sa pagtakbo sa rooftop namin? Hhmmm... good idea! At least hindi ako maiilang dahil walang mga matang manonood sa kin, then kapag nakagamayan ko na, saka ako tatakbo sa kalsada... hehehe.. sabayan ko ung mga jeep sa amin... hahahahaha..... So, sana masimulan ko this Sunday. Wish me luck.. ;).

Tingin ko naman e makakayanan ko itong bagong adventure na gagawin ko :D. Pero, eto kayang isa kong pinaplano e makayanan ko din kaya? :D. I plan to audition for the 2nd season of PBB hehehehe.. :)). Wala lang, parang kakaiba yung experience sa loob ng bahay ni Kuya e. Pero di ko naman alam kung pano jumoin. Actually, si Nikki rin me balak... ;))... sana one of these days, makakuha kami ng correct info regarding the audition. Me nabalitaan kasi ako na natigil daw for unknown reasons. Anywys, we'll see na lang. Hehehehehe... plan pa lang naman e... malay natin ;).

Perfume, CD and Punishment

Received an email from Maidette informing us of RUSTAN'S ESSENSES PRIVATE SALE. Forwarded the email to Nikki and afterwards, we found ourselves having lunch together and finished it in 15 minutes... hehehehe... (hindi naman halatang excited). Don, Nikki and I rushed to the Rustan's office in Salcedo Village and to our surprise......... CLOSED!!!! But, will resume at 1:30 due to the volume of buyers inside the not so spacious room. We arrived there at 12:30, meaning we have to wait for an hour to get inside. After waiting for around 30 minutes, Don decided to leave and so did I. We went back to the office empty-handed :p. Anywys, I just told myself that I wouldn't waste 3 hours of my precious time just to buy a bottle of perfume at 70% off :D. All I wanted was a bottle of perfume, that's all. Not interested in other imported beauty products like shampoo, soap, lotion.. etc. Better luck next time, dudes!! :)

Before going home, I went to Picture City in Park Square 2 to get the CD that I left last Tuesday night while having my pics printed. Sa kasamaang palad, hindi nila maalala kung saan nila naitago.. whew! Tawag na lang daw ako para di masayang oras ko. Ok. Actually, kahit hindi ko na kunin ung cd ok lang, I have my copies naman dito sa machine ko sa office pero for security and privacy, ayaw kong me makakitang iba nun noh! Baka mamaya kumalat ung mga face namin sa internet na iba na ang katawan... hahahahaha....

So, usapang PBBTE naman.. :D. Gerald was punished by Big Brother for the crime of cheating. Yes, he cheated in one of their tasks recently. Ayun, di mapakali ang pobreng housemate. Ang parusa? Pinabalik sa original Big Brother house sa kyusi ng mag-isa. Mr. Lonely ang drama nya ngayon sa bahay ni Kuya. Pero pasalamat sya at malapit ng matapos ang show kundi baka evicted na sya. Siguro pinagbigyan na lang ni Kuya since un nga, malapit ng matapos.... hindi na Big Four 'yun pag kulang ng isa.. :p.

Love, Courage and Sacrifice

Yesterday morning, I had to accompany my mother to the doctor to treat her skin and since the attendant informed us that the doctor will arrive early afternoon pa, we decided to watch the movie first. Finally, I was able to watch X-Men The Last Stand yesterday! All I can say is WOW!!! Grabeeee.... to the highest level!

The movie simpy showed what love, courage and sacrifice mean. Wawa naman si Papa Wolverine :(, he killed Jean Grey because he loved her so much and he didn't want her to suffer anymore. I was amazed by the team effort that they showed to beat Magneto. Hehehehehe...... buti nga :P. Medyo na-OA-an lang ako kasi outnumbered sina Wolverine, imagine 7 lang sila pero natalo nila ung sandamakmak na bad mutants ;)). Pero ganun talaga, ikaw na maging bida! But more than that, ewan ko pero the entire movie touched my heart, swear! Iba ung energy level nilang lahat, whew! Mukhang meron pa atang X-Men, 2nd to the Last Stand bwehehehehe....

After the movie, we found out that the dermatologist of my mother had an emergency call kaya ayun... wiz na lang check up ang mother ko. Nag-grocery na lang kami at bumili ng pillow, belt and table cloth.
