A life without acceptance of change wouldn't be a well lived life. For change is inevitable, change is good.

Im sharing my farewell message to my boss for 6 years and 6 months. For moving on and letting go of one's comfort zone is healthy and self enriching.

THANK YOU!

* For listening and respecting my radical thoughts. For not judging but simply focusing on me (KSP!). For spending your time with me. For letting me feel special.

* For bringing the best out of everybody. When even our own selves fails to believe, you believed. You were always there to push us up - to help us believe.

* For telling me the truth. Kahit na may delaying tactics ka, at least your man enough to tell me the truth. No sugar-coating.

* For being OC-OC. Wonder what the room would be like without you. CHAOS! I have 1/4 of OC-OC rubbed on me but i think i misplaced it with all the other stuff lying around.

* For sticking with me through thick and thin, happy and sad, food trips, 1st 5, Alda's, Maggi Hearty Soup, Wasabi Peanuts, Marmalade, Mr. Fix It, proof reader....lahat!

* For the jokes. Charles Mosquito! Ju-ee-see Fru-it, the laughter, the good times. One of the reason for my staying power in Dnata.

* For keeping an open mind in decision making, in placing judgement. Teaching me to think out of the box often.

For my 1st MENTOR, a great TEACHER of life and love, a psuedo-FATHER, my BEST-est friend in Dnata a big THANK YOU.

Of course life would be different without you but just the fact of knowing you made a BIG difference in my life, i guess you are in everybody else's.

Thank you for accepting me and thank you for sharing and letting me know your 25%. It was the best.

I wish you well, the best in everything. I wish you happiness, good health and more time for you to do the things you like best- Tinkering!

iloveyou Boss!

We all have our resons to be here. We all need something to cling to. We all have illusions in our head.

Sometimes even if you try your very best to ignore all the negative vibes around you, its just not working. If only i could leave a sign at my door saying "Leave me Alone", i would ( of course i would be branded aloof and too thick an ice to break, AGAIN!)

I am thankful of many things and yet struggle hard not to be eaten by the bug of frustration. I still believe everything is just a state of mind, i think i need to elevate my mind.

Before, life in the office is like backstroke, butterfly, freestyle and floating. Now i feel like im threading and even if i do a bicycle or a frog stroke, i feel im drowning plus the fact that i hate threading. My soul is too tired to undergo such emotional torture.

The good thing is i know where my faith in the Lord will lead me. Im so blessed having true friends, a very supporting family and a loving boyfriend.

Maybe on my next blog, i would not be emotionally harassed anymore. One step at a time.

Had my picture taken at the famous fountain in Malate. Before it was a taboo seen lingering in this area but they made it commercial and tourist friendly.


Sat with the man who sits while reading his paper and enjoying his sunset.


Viewed the sunset.


Shared some secrets with Hanzel.


Unlike what Greenday sang, mine is a boulevard of un-broken dreams.


Met an old friend


Visited my Lolo


Said hello to the horses.


Goofed around with my brother.


Rode a Kalesa.

After hybernating for such a longtime, im Back!!!!
This is one good way to celebrate my year old Blog.....Belated Happy blogday Fantastic Fabulous Faith!!!!!

What i learned during my free time is that life throws things at you and you have to know what to catch. This is not the juggle type story, this a story of courage, willpower and the willingness to undergo change.

Bob Garon once wrote that WE ARE BIGGER THAN OUR PAINS. This is so true and eye catching specially for someone who feels lost and brave at the same time.

He said that "It's amazing what a human being can take when pushed to the limit".
Very true. Some of us have this tendency to breakdown, get even or be the worst that we can be, while others stay in there shell, their comfort zone. Trying their best to assure themselves that this is their cheese and being masochist is so natural. If only we could go through life without pain or hurt, rejection or fear. But of course, that not how life works. If only we could be babies and pampered like a princess. But that's cowardice sugarcoated and with sprinklers.

I was once driven with tremendous sense of dedication and loyalty to the company im in. Its still there, that tiny spark of my old self, the young, idealistic, carefree and bubbly girl i once was but i can feel it slipping away because of the negative vibes, calous, densed people who surrounds me. Caloused by pain, densed by the hardship of everyday's unjust way of making a living. Unfortunately, hanging on to dear life to whom who puts food on the table.

If only we could see through pain, suffering, discomfort and physical pain and be matured in facing it. If only ideals shine forth as the star of Bethlehem shone brightly to guide the way of the lost ones.

Can bravery be managed by mind over matter?

My Christmas wish is that the next time im in this sh!th@le again, i will challenge it. I know that i am more of what i covered myself into. That i am my own master and whatever there is out there, i will be strong to face it and may it be beneficial to all. My gosh! Its so Ms. Universe. Even my friends cannot believe in what im asking for thsi christmas. This is for me. That i can be the bravegirl i know i am. So that i can show to the world that life is a piece of cake and its yummy to eat it too.

A beautiful life is not without pain and suffering, its the ability to find peace and satisfaction in the midst of the turmoil and pain.

May the peace of the soul and mind be with us all this Christmas and all through out the days of our lives.
