that one person.....

"I use to worry a lot who would I be when I grew up. How much money I would make or someday I would become some big deal. Sometimes the thing you most want doesn't happen Sometimes the thing you never expect often does. You meet thousands of people and none of them really touch you. Then you meet one person and your life is changed forever."

I'd like to start this post with that beautiful line from the movie "Love and other Drugs" which I watched last week. Well I'd been off to blogging again after sometime of hiatus. So many things had happenned and so many changes had occured in my life. I had been trying to write this blog since last week but I don't know how to start. Then finally I had watched that movie and search thru the internet the lines from the movie and voila! I have the perfect introduction to this blog and by chance that line somewhat summarizes my feelings and emotions this past few months. So here we go.....

I have always believe in love.....yes I do! I am a very optimistic person despite of the many ups and downs experiences about love. I always believe that somehow..someday.....you will meet the love of your life and you can be really happy with that person, BUT! as I believe in the former I also believe that having someone to love and be loved in return is not for everyone. Not all people is cut out for marriage, some people may be destined to be single but fab and happy! and I'm perfectly ok with that. But sometimes even if you're perfectly ok with that life gives you the opposite.

So there I was 7 months into my new relationship and pregnant...You can never really prepared with pregnancy even if you are are the right age or with the right person. It is a mixed of a lot of emotion to be in that situation and that taught me a lot and had changed my perspective on life itself. My bf and I had been devastated when I miscarried but we took it the positive way and we're glad that we have each other through that tough times. We know that we are still blessed and that there is always a reason why things happen. well that part was hard but I know there are many other situations/problems that we have to face as we continue to live our lives together. I'm still getting used to a lot of things like sleeping with him on my side, getting up early to prepare breakfast or prepare his meals for work. There's a lot more things to get used to when you're living with someone. What's funny is we do ask each other sometimes how we are doing with this hubby/wifey thing and we'd say yes it's hard but simply I won't exchange the times and days that we are finally together with any other things in this world now. I'm not going all cheesy here, but yes I can actually say that he is that person who changed my life. And I don't mind if my life keeps on changing as long as we are together because I'm not going anywhere else.

The answer is and will always be.....YES!

BOTO MO!

In 2 weeks time all qualified voters including myself will be lining up in our respective precints to vote for our preferred candidates. I think the voting this year is extra special because of the different awareness program brought about by the different organizations to encourage the citizens from the registration and down to choosing the right candidate to vote.
We have all this tv ads, some controversial as it is, ads with celebrities and with all the dancing and singing. I have to admit may mga time na naaliw ako, may times naman na naiirita ako, may times na napapailing at may times naman din na nabibilib ako. Iba na rin ang klase ang mga kampanyahan ngaun ei multimedia na rin, dati ang mga candidates puro posters, jingle at bahay bahay lang, ngaun lumelevel up na din. It is amazing how they think of the different mediums to sell themselves. Even ang mga pinamimigay ngaun na goodies ng mga kandidato sumasabay na rin sa uso, nakakakatuwa lang isipin na parang only in the philippines ito. I don't know if it is such a good thing or not. Should I be proud na sa Pilipinas lang meron niyan o dapat ba ako mahiya na ganito ang Pilipinas.
This is my second time to vote, the first time was the last presidential election. I have to say that I am more involved during my first time voting kasi I am working in a tv station nun so mas aware ako sa happenings, mas meron akong inside scoop sa campaigning and all, and needless to say parang naranasan ko din slightly ang campaign kc naman sinusundan at kinukunan din namin ang mga kandidato habang naglalakad sila sa mga eskinita. Mas may personal attachment with them, mas nakilala namin sila up close and personal. This time around since my line of work is now different, it has allowed me to step back and see things from a different view, I'm more of an ordinary citizen judging this candidates kung kanino silang line-up nakasama at sa mga sabi sabi tungkol sa kanila.
I love to watch yung mga forums about the candidate but sadly either super gabi or super weekend ito na may lakad ako kaya di ko lagi napapanuod. When asked sino ba iboboto mo president? di pa rin ako makasagot ng diretso kasi until now di pa ako decided. I'd say we vote differently, yung iba boboto nia si candidate na ito kc di corrupt, yung isa iboboto si ganitong candidate dahil magaling magsalita or magaling sumagot sa mga questions sa forum. Ako I'd think more than anything I'd still vote based sa kung tingin ko may capability ba siya humawak ng pinakamataas na posisyon sa bayan. Someone who can represent us as Filipinos and can represent us to the world. It's a plus point na lang for me if he can eliminate corruption sa bayan natin and to make government offices efficient when it comes to service quality.
The main thing pa rin is to contemplate who you want to vote and vote. Go out there on the 10th and exercise your RIGHT TO VOTE! Don't say di na ako boboto kasi di naman mananalo ang kandidato ko or dadayain naman..mahalaga you know taht you have voted at kung kaya pa ei mabantayan mo din ang boto mo.
I still believe in goodness. And that in time I know that our nation can be changed, not just by having a good President or leaders but i think more so we as Filipinos should partake in this change.

the fuss with networking sites! kaloka~!

I swear I never had seen so much people having fun on the internet as much as it is nowadays. Truly we really can say this is the day and age of the world wide web. Just like the commercial with lola techie implies..yes even lolas can get really good on this networking sites. As much as we knoe how convenient it is that we have the internet now for getting a LOT of information, when I say a lot it means down to research for students..(thank God there's internet way back in college)...for shopping (there are very good finds on the internet)...good ol recipes and a lot of how to's and yes the very addictive networking sites...

I personally was hooked up during college days in chatting, yes ym baby! it was more of a past time in college during class breaks or just whatever! But I remember staying up until 2 or 3 am in my kuya's computer just chatting. It will be followed by an episode of sleeping until around before lunch the next day, and my days begins since my classes will start at around 5:30 p.m., typical day for a mass communication college student that time.

I think it was also around that time that my relationship with friendster began..member since Jan 2004 >>>that can be found on my friendster profile..grabe antagal na nun diba..5 years na pala yun..I remember dati nung college ang uso nun ay ang pagpopost sa bulletin board, may mga emo post pa kami ni jasmin..at ang pagsagot ng quiz na irerepost mo..sa tagal na rin nun nakakalap na rin ako ng 396 friends...suddenly internet has been more exciting for everyone...i graduated from college and even during my first work walang kamatayang friendster na ito...

I am in my second job already ng magpakilala sa akin ang nakakatuwang mundo ng FACEBOOK...grabe dati di masyado pansin ng iba para lang daw friendster pero ng mas naging interactive ito because of the shoutout that all of your friends can see, as in lahat ng ginagawa mo at na fe-feel mo na gusto mo isigaw why not! go! malalaman lahat ng friends mo. Plus super get together ang mga h.s. friends, college friends and former officemates, with matching posting of old pictures tapos super okrayin talaga ng everyone. But then everyone would agree na ang pinakapatok ngayon ang applications sa facebook. Farmtown, farmville, sorority life, mafia wars, restaurant city, pet society, fashion wars..at sobrang dami pa. Sa sobrang dami at super adik di ko na malaman kung anu ang gagawin at lalaruin ko, at konting TRIVIA lamang. Alam ninyo bang may caretaker pa ako ng farmville ko na nagtatanim at ng haharvest. Ang patok pa d2 kahit sino, I mean kahit sino talaga naglalaro nito unbelieveble talaga, bata, nanay, lola, kaloka! as in pero masaya! masaya talaga...at dahil diyan clap! clap! talaga para sa makers ng facebook.
Last but not the least ang TWITTER. I remember first hearing it in relation to the name of Ashton Kutcher some bet that he made with Larry King, but I don't know the details. And then second when pam emailed me to start to use twitter. Alam ko nag register pero di ko siya na explore up until i read an article in spot about local celebs using twitter. So I get curious at dahil gusto ko rin ng mga showbiz news insider, hehehe! ayun binuksan ko uli ang aking account at yun i started to explore and enjoy it. Masaya din pala mag tweet at mag follow-up ng mga tweet ng mga gusto mong peeps. So i started to influence and invite my friends to use it also. Wala lang para ma-experience din nila.

Hay kapagod ang journey sa mga networking sites, but it was really fun, bakit nga ba natin to ginagawa, bakit nga ba sumasabay ako sa ganitong mga uso? well number one because it's fun to connect, especially with your frends or classmates na di mo na nakikita tapos suddenly your connected again, it's fun to reminisce those old photos. It's fun to be a child again playing all those applications, it's makes you competitive also and I think number one it's great to be heard to share what you do, what you think and what you feel even for that single moment.

the resolutions of a birthday girl

Wondering why my title is as such? This is because I recently celebrated my birthday last 22nd of this month. I'm already 25 years old, and at this point of my life, seems like I wanted to simplify my life more and to avoid all the daily stress that life brings, because this is what it should be right? So instead of putting all the usual resolutions early this year last January, I decided to have this resolutions, or simply this reminders to myself.

I was browsing through my office mail and browsing unnecessary mail for me delete it, since the system administrators is once gain visiting me (arrgh) when I chance upon this beautiful mail, the original is accompanied with pictures, for now here are my reminders as I go through my 25th year.

"HOW TO GET THROUGH LIFE"
1. Sleep as much as you can.
2. Read books that you enjoy.
3. Play with simple things.
4. Do whatever you want, whenever you want.
5. Look for affection when you need it.
6. Get serious once in a while.
7. Forget about diets.
8. Show some affection.
9. Get angry once in a while.
10. Change your looks.

Above all, be happy regardless of what
your challenge maybe! Have a great life!

>> I would also like to share this....
Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it change your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
>> I just love reading a pile of positive outlooks in life, this is what we really need in times of problems, stress or even just a simple "inis" from one of your days.

Cheers for better days of our lives!
