Wishes of mine

Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want, everything you want. Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle is gonna come from, the next smile, the next wish come true. But if you believe that it's right around the corner, and you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it. You just might get the thing you're wishing for. The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it? Good. Now believe in it. With all your heart.
~One Tree Hill

I encountered this quote while browsing the internet here in my office...too bad. huh? It came from one of my favorite drama series, One Tree Hill. I instanly like this quote from the moment I read it because it still makes me believe that fairy tales do come true. It makes me want to wish and wait for it to happen. Now, here is my wish list. I do hope they will come true.
My WISH LIST

Wish #1--To study in one of IVY league's universities

Wish #2--To travel around the world

Wish #2--To have my own coffee/pastry house

The above picture is coffee Minhak in Seoul---The place is so beautiful..I hope I can visit this shop.

Wish #4--To have the best books ever written

I haven't read any of these books. I hope I can grab a copy of the books above. There are so many books that I want to read and I hope in this life time, I will be able to read all that I want...

Wish #5--To write a book --If this will come true, I'll be speechless...

Wish#6--To make a difference in this world

Seeing a smile on their face is priceless. There are millions of children out there who don't have the basic needs that we have. If we can only share the blessings that we have, then maybe their life will be much better and smiles will be often see on their face.

This is my wish list for now...maybe these wishes will come true, maybe some will do and some will not...maybe years from my wishes will be different, maybe I will wish for more or less. Maybe I will not wish at all. Whatever it may be, I hope at least once in our life we have made a wish and believed on it. It's not really about wishing but sometimes it's about hoping that things will go our way.

Angel's Best Weekend by Nancy

The best weekend of Angels...

464 days ago, the angels went to Tagaytay and Nasugbu.

Saturday morning and afternoon

We were like backpackers. We rode a bus to Tagaytay and had lunch in Dencios. After that, we went to a park and then we went to CalleRuega, the most beautiful place to get married. This was one of the highlights of our trip. It seemed like we were not in Tagaytay/Nasugbu and that we were in a picture. The place was enchanting and it made me speechless. It was one of the best places I've ever been to. Then afterward, we went to one of Nasugbu's beaches. We brough Tequila with us and some food. We were just too scared to be hungry. We were budget travelers so we tried to get a cheapest beach house. We went from one beach resort to another. Then we found a cheap and a good beach house.

Saturday evening

We dined to the nearest restaurant and then went back to the beach resort. We planned to have a bonfire so we made one. Then we grilled hotdogs and opened a bottle of Tequila. Stories and angsts about the people around us, life and career were shared that night.

Sunday afternoon

We woke up late. We went to Jollibee to have our lunch and we went back to the resort. Nancy, Grace and Weng swam in the pool, Ayka grabbed the mic and sang (videoke) and I sat watching all of them. I didn't like to swim and I didn't want to sing. What I wanted was to sit and sit.

We left the beach resort late in the afternoon already. We decided to stop by in Starbucks Tagaytay. When we were in Tagaytay, it was so cold. Having coffee in a cool place sounds terrific. We ordered our favorite coffee blend then we hanged out for a little while since we could not stand the coldness of the place.

Time to go home...

We rode a bus again. We were dead tired and the next day would be Monday, time to work again.

464 days ago...was the best weekend...464 days ago...we promised that each year ANGELS would travel to another place and spend time together...464 days had passed and now we are planning to have another great weekend together

Morning person....

Morning time, people getting up thinking about the people they love.
--One Tree Hill--

I'm now a morning person. My sleeping habit is quite different than before. A week ago, I sleep at around 3 or 4AM and now, I wake up at 3AM. My sleeping time before is now my waking up time. I'm not yet used to getting up early. It seems weird to wake up where the morning is not yet breaking. Today, when I woke up, it was raining hard and the first thing that pops up in my mind after turning off my alarm was "I want to sleep more", but I couldn't. Duty calls.

A few moments ago, I read this quote from one of my favorite TV drama series, One Tree Hill. The quote was, "Morning time, people getting up thinking about the people they love. ". This quote got my attention and made me wonder about who or what am I thinking when I first open my eyes. Today, the first thing that I had think of when I woke up was, " I want to sleep more" then I thought again about the things that I usually think of when I wake up. After a few minutes of trying to remember the scenarios where I woke up, it striked me that the usual thing that I think of was wanting to sleep more. I didn't think of my love one or my job or my studies. I just wanted to sleep more. Sleepyhead...this is me.

One of these days, I know that things will be different. Maybe I'll be thinking another thing aside from wanting to sleep more. Maybe something will inspire me and it will be the first thing that I'll think of.

My second day in AM...

complaints...complaints...complaints...

When I was in PM shift, I complained about having so many things to do, so little time. I kept on complaining how tired I am in making Powerpoint presentation. Now, that I am in AM shift, my second day, I'm starting to whine again. For the first time in my almost two years here in this company, I did not make any presenation. I'm bored! Since yesterday, I started reading the blogs of my friends, checked my mail and friendster and now, I'm blogging again and did the same things that I have done yesterday. I'm bored, bored, bored... and I think everybody knows that I don't like to be bored. It scares the hell out of me because it means I'm boring. Last night, I even finished a book...wooohhh! and today, I'm almost finish reading Fortune magazine. See, how bored I am. And then it strikes me, this is what I want, right? But now that I have it, I feel restless. I think I'm always like this but these two days...it's really dreary.

I know this will not last forever, maybe next week, I will have so many papers to submit because I'm back to school again or maybe, I will have more students. Whichever comes first, I'll welcome it with open arms...aaarrghhh! and grumble again..I'm such a whiner!

My team and my last day in PM shift...

My team....Yes, I've been in this team since I first set foot on this company, Duzon E&H. I love my team and my station. I can't believe that I'm living them and my forever station.

Last week, we had our team building in Splash Island and we had an amazing time together. There were many things happened like we had games like Pinoy Henyo and we tried the different slides that Splash Island offered. One of my favorite slides is the Magellan's drop where one of my teammates and close friend, Kareen, fell off from her mat. If we had a video camera with us, it would definitely be qualified to enter Bitoy's funniest video. Thinking about it now still makes me laugh.

Our team--we've been through a lot. We have had our ups and downs. I think this is why we are now a better, stronger and well-bonded team. We usually eat together and do things together. We have our differences but we are able to meet in the middle and respect those differences and find our similarities. Being in this team, makes my job here in this company much easier. I also have learned a lot. I learned from the mistakes of some of my teammates and I learned how good it is for a team to have unity. Our team before was not as good as what we have right now but since everyone are broadminded about things and willing to accept changes then I think these are some of the factors that made our team what it is.

29 minutes, 36 seconds more to go...

My shift will end minutes from now and this is it, I have to say goodbye to my friends, colleagues, teammates and all the people who is working in PM shift. I can't stop the time and at this moment, I hope I can (How I wish...). Well, everything has to end. There is no such thing as forever. Everything ends, vanishes or perishes. It's just a matter who comes first.

To all...

It's so great that I've experienced good things and bad things with you. I've learned a lot and in the process I hope you learned something from me too. I have had a wonderful time in this shift. We had faced many challenges and obstacles but despite of everything one can see happiness in our faces. Everything changes...the important thing is one should always remember for these have reasons...

my last week in PM shift...changes to face

My request for transfer of shift was approved last week. Wow! for almost four years of working on the same schedule, I think this would be wonderful. My first reaction when my boss sent me a message was terrific and then it sinked in to me that I would not be able to spend time with my friends in the PM shift and that made me quite not so cheery about my schedule especially I heard that AM shift's people are quite different from PM shift's. Well, let me see about that. Next week, will be the start of my next schedule and let me be the judge of that...hahaha!

Challenges to face next week:

1. waking up early around 3:00am--Ohhh! This is my sleeping time!
2. new team and teammates
3. classes in DLSU during Wednesday and Saturdays--got a broken schedule.

I hope I can do this! As of now, these are the things that I have to face for the next few weeks and I hope that everything will be splendid.

***********

Things happened to me this week...

Thinking of the things that happened to me this week makes me laugh and quite annoyed...I think, there is no such thing as a smooth flowing life...hahaha!

My series of unfortunate events:

1. My favorite Havaianas gave out..(naputol ung straps nya...huhu!)
2. I received an IR for exceeding my class for more than 5 minutes.
3. My class manager scolded me for I forgot to inform my students that I will transfer shift
4. I forgot to click the attendance of my students....(subject to IR..Thank god! it was not my boss who caught me..grrr...)

This is a really challenging week...whew!

my weekend in DAVAO

Long weekend...short vacation...

Last weekend, I went home to Davao for only 3 days. It was a short vacation but a memorable one. I was able to see my family especially my nephew, Gian and some of my friends. At first, I thought that my weekend will be not as great as I expected but at the end, it exceeded my expectations. There were many things happened that I did not see coming. The highlights of my vacation was my nephew, Gian, he was such an adorable baby. I couldn't kept my self from cuddling him and also my bet with my close guy friend. This bet would be due 2 years from now and until this moment, I don't know if I made the right decision to agree with our bet or maybe I'm just thinking too much again.

The whole weekend was marvelous. I couldn't fathom that I'm back here in Manila again working and soon I will be studying again...Changes will soon arrive and I'm ecstatic to face it.

so excited to go home...

Tomorrow at dawn will be my flight to Davao. I'm so excited to go home but this day turns out to be not so great as I expected. I'm already cramming because there were things that I have to attend to before I have to leave for Davao and plus I received bad messages. One message was from my mom stating that my brother could not fetch me at the airport and the other one was from my friend informing me that they our plan to hang out together would be cancelled and that they could not also drop me off at the airport. I was a little bit pissed because things did not go well this day. Then I realized that there are times that we have to be on our own...



There are some things in life that don't go as what we planned. We have to be always ready for it...

what I felt

Sometimes I feel inspired without knowing why
Sometimes I feel blue but there is nothing to be sad about
Sometimes I feel alone eventhough there are people around me
Sometimes I feel like crying because other people are hurting
Mixed feelings and mixed emotions

Sometimes I feel like screaming without reason at all
Sometimes I feel like joyous but there is nothing to celebrate
Sometimes I feel like running eventhough no one is hunting me
Sometimes I feel like singing because something different happened
Mixed feelings and mixed emotions

I felt everything and it brought me great happiness knowing that I'm alive.
Am I really happy?
All I want is to have a felicitious life.
Is this so hard?
What makes me truly happy?
I'm still figuring it out...
