I thank God for you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNY!!!!!!!!!
Missing work March 21, 2006
Yesterday, after my check-up, I visited the office. Some are excited to see me. Some are deadma (yung tipong di napansin na 3 weeks ka ng di pumapasok.). Some are worried (na baka magrelaps ako or baka mahawaan sila.) Pero whatever their reaction was, I admit I miss work.
…I miss the morning traffic jam going to boni. I miss falling asleep on the van and waking up (by grace) before my stop.
…I miss thinking what food I will buy for breakfast.
…I miss saying “OMF Literature good morning.” and “OMF Literature good afternoon.” while answering the phone.
…I miss our morning team devotions during mon and fri. And company devotions during tues.
…I miss using my charms so that Kuya Noel will wrap the books for me. Or for kuya Carl to get some books that I’ve requested in the warehouse.
…I miss the ‘polly days’ with Ate Kaye.
…I miss making Kuya Jon and Kuya Nixon laugh about my silly jokes. (Grabe, ang tipid kaya nilang tumawa.)
…I miss the morning-lunch-afternoon short chats with ate daph. And the iskul bus with K. Ed
…I miss my “bridesmaid”, Gracie.
…I miss entertaining Ate Gie or Ate Eve before requesting some money.
…I miss hearing my officemates blabber about Jewel in the Palace (pramis di ako nanonood!) Or the short chats with A. Beng and sometimes with A. Yna.
…I miss going home and hating myself for wearing high healed shoes when I have to climb the stairs in Boni. Or loving the sunset that God painted for me.
…I miss doing events. I miss working. I miss working like there’s no tomorrow (charing!) I miss doing a good job and commiting lots of mistakes just to do one.
…I miss my messy work place. Bebs my beloved computer. My pink teddy bear and my cabinet that has plenty of junk food. (ooopss)
…I even miss the couch at A. Bless’ working area, where i usually take short naps. 
(kaya sya nahawa sakin. 
)
…I miss the people at the accounting and warehouse telling me im getting thin…or getting fat. (hahaha.)
…I miss my boss who drives me crazy. And I miss driving him crazy. Or the fact that he will make me read my horoscope before getting into business.
… Hay. I wanna go back to work, now na.
By the way, I got a surprise from Ate Beng. 
This is Summer, my new roommate! Salamat ate, napasaya mo ko, sobra.

Just a thought March 14, 2006
sometimes there are bruises in our inner most being that not even time could heal
sometimes its good that i could still feel the pain. It reminds me of who I am, who i was and what i want to become
…pain, bruise, or even death are not bad things, they made us real people.
Eulogy para sa isang kaibigan March 8, 2006
Oo alam ko ang mga eulogy para lang sa mga patay. Pero diba masmagandang marinig mo na kung ano ang sasabihin sa yo ng mga tao bago ka pa makipag-eye ball kay San Pedro? (at sa manok niya.)
Si Kuya aleks *luluha sa kanang mata* ayyy sobrang bait niyan. yesss showbiz. Di nga. Una kong nakilala si Kuya sa OMF Lit. OJT ako nun (kaya ang dali lang takutin.) Sabi niya siya daw ang mascot doon iirapan ko sana naalala ko OJT lang ako kaya polite laugh nalang. Nag-enjoy akong mag-OJT lalo na sa Marketing kahit hindi ako nagsasalita. (maaannn, kaya ko pla yun.) Twing 5pm na sasabihin ni kuya, “O Ivy, 5pm na ha bat nandito ka pa.” Iniisip ko nun ayaw siguro nito beauty ko. Hay naku, ngayong regular na ko pag 5:30pm na at uuwi na ko sasabihin niya, “Attt bakit uuwi ka na?” Sabi ko na nga ba papasang wicked stepmother tong batang to. Sa simula lang mabait. bwhahaha.
I’ve been working with kuya for almost three years now. Oh my gosh 3 years? Tignan mo nga nakatagal ako. bwhahaha. Three years ko na syang boss. Sa kanya ko natutunan kung paano mag-organize ng events. And I’m beginning to be actually good at it. I know it would be a whole different story kung hindi si kuya ang nagtrain sakin. Siguro less stressful (hehehe.) Siguro less fun. Siguro less excting. Pero one thing i’m sure of, I’m blessed that it was kuya aleks who trained me. Si kuya ang sunshine ng office namin. Sa kakulitan ba naman nitong batang to. Parang may kulang pag absent siya. Lahat ng events nag-eenjoy mga tao pag sya MC, take note all age range kaya niyang pasayahin. Pambihira.
Pero hindi lang naman yung kakulitan ni kuya yung nagda-draw ng tao sa kanya. Maganda yung heart ni kuya…as in. Naalala ko nun sabi ko dapat yung radio linalagyan ng kuryente para wala ng kukuha, sabi niya camera nalang daw para pipicturan nalang yung kukuha. Gracious diba? hahaha. Kuya Aleks has the height of Goliath and the heart of David. I always look forward sa mga kwentuhan namin about God. He never failed to inspire me to love and trust God more through his stories.
Si kuya, isa ito sa mga “few” na pinakikinggan ko. Pagnagbigay kasi ng advise to hindi lang advise eh. May kasamang rebuke…at saka pagmamahal. Minsan, lalo na pagnagmamadali ako tapos pag-iisipin ako ni kuya, gusto ko talaga syang tirisin ng pinong-pino. Pero pag na-iisip ko “kuya aleks means well”. Sa dami ng pinagdaanan naming humps and bumps ni kuya, nakuha ko na kung nagpapaka-kuya o nagpapaka-boss siya.
Hay, miss na kita dude sobra. Feeling ko nagwithdraw ka ngayon na-intindihan ko na. Happy birthday Kuya. I’m soooo glad na pinanganak ka. The world is a better place to live in because of you.
I will always be your abang apprentice at baby sister. Lab you dude.
P.S.
yan pwede mo na akong ilibre
