The countdown will start in a few minutes as I end this. It’s really hard to wrap up the events and the lessons learned for the entire year in an hour. But looking back its not a wasted year after all! As Pastor Dave reminded us last Sunday’s worship service: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” I can’t help but thank God for the people that He used to remind me of His love and His goodness! I can’t help but thank God for circumstances that He allowed so I will be moved to know and experience Him. Indeed! Thank you Lord for 2007!

Because every year its my tradition to write my Christmas list.

Becase its never too late to write one.

And because somehow it gives me perspective on what I want and what I need.

1. Rest. Its been really stressful at the job lately because of the peak season. I haven’t slept well eversince december began. Waah I need this one badly.

2. DVD Marathon/ Junk Food Marathon. Like waking up late because I slept late due to Heroes and Grey’s Anatomy marathon. And what’s the bset companion when watching dvds? yeah JUNKFOOD. hehehe.

3. Coffee Date. With friends. yeees, you know who you are.

4. Plenty of SR (Spiritual Retreat.) Hay, I wanted to go to the prayer mountain so bad. Been awhile since I had my last Spiritual Retreat.

5. Polo Shirts. Plenty of them. Like Pink, Navy Blue, Black, Brown, Red. hahaha.

6. Idle time. You know when you are just wasting your time going around the mall not really buying anything but just the thought that you have plenty of time. Ganoon. hahah. Some might think this is wasting time…Exactly. But hey, unhurried time is not wasting time.

7. IMAX experience. I want! I want!

8. Time with the family. Since leaving the house and renting the appartment with my two girlfriends, I havent spend so much time with my family. I miss bulling my two brothres and even my dad. I miss long talks with my mom (yesss mature.)

9. Justice. There’s a robber at the appartment who took my uniform and today he/she took our batcha. Kamusta naman yun. Sana mahuli na sya.

10. Books. How to walk in high heels (the girly pink book — parang balka lang hahaha.) The Choice, The Wedding, True Believer by Nicolas Sparks. hehehe. I soooo love books.

11. Dress. Jeans. Shoes. Bags. Make -up —-and all the kikay stuffs.

12. Peace. Yup… the peace-be-with-you kind of peace. I’ve been on not-so-good terms with two of my officemates for quite sometime now. Pareho silang may kasalanan. Pero parepareho kaming mapapride. yan tuloy. Hay. Peace on earth should began at the workplace.

13. Lovelife. Bakit ba gusto ko na ng lablyf. hehehe.

14. The Company CDs. One of my favorite singing group.

15. Driving & Cooking lessons. yeeeessss.

At higit sa lahat. Maayos ang wordpress account ko. bow.

There’s always a limit. Between family members, lovers and friends. And no matter how much we love the person, no matter how much we care for them.There will always be a limit. Fact is we’re just extending it depending on how deep our relationship with this person is. And when that person hit that “limit among all limits”. That’s the time you move on.

Tonight I’m shutting off my door to a very dear and good friend. Because I can no longer take him hurting me with or without him knowing. I can no longer take his insensitivity, mindless hirits and above all, selfishness. Not that I don’t love him. I do. But I just can’t be dependent on what he thinks anymore. I can’t just let him hurt me anymore. So I’m being selfish, just this time, closing anything that leads to him, so I can save my sanity…even what’s left of it.

And now I’ll shut up.

P.S.

I just erased his number from my phone….how freeing! hahahaha

yey! new blog. I know. I’m known for transferring from one address to another. So here we go again unpacking my stuffs from blogger and moving were most of my friends are. yeyeyeye.

Twas raining really hard today. I soooo love it. Gudlak nalang pa-uwi.

…I realized that in times like these, you know, when the going gets tough. It’s better to drag your friend to the comfort room and talk non-stop until your okay rather not to talk at all. hehehe. I just can’t believe that everybody’s making a big deal about this. Grrr tlga.ooh well. If they love me this much, I guess i should be happy right?

frustrated. big time.

From yahoo news:

“MANILA (AFP) - A jobless man was shot dead by a security guard for singing out of tune in a Philippine karaoke bar, police said Thursday.
Romy Baligula, 29, was halfway through his song on Tuesday night in a bar in San Mateo town, east of Manila, when 43-year-old security guard Robilito Ortega yelled that he was out of tune.
As Baligula ignored his comments and continued singing, Ortega pulled out his revolver and shot him in the chest.
Senior Superintendent Felipe Rojas said Baligula died instantly.
The security guard was detained by an off-duty policeman shortly after the shooting.
Deaths and violence are not uncommon in Philippine karaoke bars.
The popular Frank Sinatra song “My Way” has been taken off many karaoke bars in Manila after it was found to be the cause of fights and even deaths when patrons sang out of tune.”

If there is a so-called ‘kilabot ng kolehiyala’ (college heartrob), there is also a so-called ‘kilabot ng pre-school. And I, officially, am one of them. Eversince I started my bookstore duty I was able to interact with kids of our customers. You know, ask them their name, their age, what school they go to or even how many teeth they have. I even play Buzz Bee, the King of the Bees at the bookstore video player whenever there are kids around so that they’ll behave and leave their mommys and daddys to do the shopping.

Now I feel like the what my ex-boss-friend usually say that pre-school teachers are usually the first crush boys usually have.

Scene I.
Bookstore office’s door was opened and there was this cute little boy who was peeking.
Bijoiski: Hi
The boy smiled and run away. After a few minutes he was back still smiling.
Bijoiski: Hello.
The boy came in and stood infront of my workplace. He was looking at my ‘mini-creatures’ on my desk.
Bijoiski: Hello. Anong pangalan mo?
He ran away again. And after a few minutes he came back again with that smile. By this time, my supervisor and manager were already laughing really hard.
Bijoiski: Mamaya ka nalang bumalik nagwowork pa ko. Ito number ko. HAHAHA.
After a few minutes I went to the counter to help out and incidentally, his parents are already there paying for thier books. This same boy opened the door at the counter and went in. I was really laughing out loud thinking. “pambihira ang agressive naman.”

Scene 2
I was on a meeting with my 2 bosses yesterday at the Bookstore office. Since the door at the office was made of glass I was able to see those who passes by. There was this little boy, around 6 I guess, who stood outside of the door. I waved my hand. He ran away. After a few minutes he came back again. I smiled. He ran again. By this time his yaya was running after him. When he came back he was trying to open the door and his yaya was making him stop. he dropped his hands from the door knob and he kissed the door. How weird is that. Of course all this time my bosses are laughing and teasing me.

I will not mention anymore how little boys used to sit beside me on restaurants or making pa-cute at the malls. What’s with boys and ‘running away’ anyway? Darn. I do love kids. I really do. But not in a ‘romantic’ way. I don’t want to be put in jail beacuse of love life. HAHAHAHA. But yeah nevertheless, I still love kids. Pambihirang kamote. Wala ba kayong mga kuya?
