i have a lot of things to be grateful of…
but one thing i am grateful of right now is the happiness i feel. i am just so happy of the present. it has been my prayer that God will lead someone to me and that He will lead me to someone. someone who will be there for me. someone who would care for me and someone who would treat me someone special. and i'm so happy God heard my prayer.
it's only been a while since i've met brad, but it feels like it's been a long time... i'm so happy to have him around as he puts smile on my face & for making me feel so special.
i can't wait to say hello to 'ber' months as i look forward on meeting and seeing him...
indeed, if we have patience, faith and trust, He will answer our prayers in His own perfect time.
#wishfulThinking
i had this wishful thinking which i posted as a shout out on my skype, yahoo messenger and facebook status… it said, "an adidas running shoes for adidas king of the road #wishfulThinking"
i'll be joining the adidas king of the road 16.8km run this coming 28th of october. and i thought it would be cool to run with an adidas running shoes...
it was only few days after i had that posted, when a nice and sweet country boy from illinois by the name of brad stumbled upon me, we've chat and talk on skype... he read all my blog entry as i had posted my blog site on skype, greeted me a belated happy birthday and teased him that i still accept birthday gifts... he came to know that i'm into running...
and he feels like fulfilling that wish for me, but of course i can't believe that someone i've only known for few days will do. someone who doesn't know me personally, but he said he finds me a good person and that i deserved it... there's only one way to find it out and that is giving him my shoe size and mailing address. not expecting it, i still gave him the details he wanted...
and lo, three weeks after that here it came... a box was handed to me by my manager yesterday and i was so happy when i saw who it was from. i wish it was time to get off from work as i can't wait to open it and see what is inside...
brad, i can't thank you enough for this. but, thank you... even if you felt so out of place when you went to running central to purchased it. and yes! favor will always be granted, i'll always have fun :) but it'll be more fun if you will join me running one day ;)
thank you for this wonderful thought as well, "if it puts a smile on your face it puts a smile on my face you can't put a pricetag on that :)" and hey, it's not corny, it's sweet :))

hong kong & macau - july 2010
i was wondering where would i be on my 31st birthday. it would be nice if it is something different from my 30th, in which i worked part time on my boss' internet café…
and so early that year i asked aynee, a very dear friend based at hong kong if they can spare me a space. i was so happy that she would be glad to... i left on the 8th of july from singapore and lo i fly to hong kong... yay! i was so excited... i stayed there until the 13th...
as aynee is working on daytime, so i had the privilege to explore the city alone... my adventure began from getting out of the airport to hong kong central station. i was able to made it, but i had a hard time, i didn't know at first how to get out... but glad i was able to figure it out...
during the days i went out and roamed around the city alone and be with aynee during dinner... every dinner were just so special. she brought me to her favorite places around the corner and everytime was just yummm...
the weather was so hot that time of the year but i had a good time spending few days there. i want to be back there on a cold weather though :)
i also went to macau for a day. it's around 45 minutes ride by ferry. it was not hard touring at macau, there are some pinoys waiting at the pier that can be your guide. i was with one nice filipina...
and of course i had my birthday at disneyland... wow! i've never thought i would be at disneyland... though i was alone, it was one of my most memorable birthday :) thank you to dandy's friend for the free entry...
though you may travel alone, it is still fun...

the bourne legacy
 |
| photo taken from imdb |
and was looking forward to it's play date, added to the excitement was, part of the movie was shoot in metro manila...
screening day came and i was not able to watched it. jasmine told me that it's not worth watching on the wide screen. but curiosity pushed me to watched it still on wide screen dragging fritzie with me...
true enough, the movie is kind of disappointment. no thrills of bourne character.
the novel tells about an assassin named khan who tried to kill david webb a.k.a. jason bourne, who eventually turned out to be his son. i would still like to watch again and again the bourne series, and that doesn't include the bourne legacy...

| caramel frappe |
but the best thing to feel good was to try mcdo's caramel frappe... brad had been bragging how nice and addicting it is... yes! i agree... it is indeed..!
i've fallen' for you
not everyone may hear the line, "... i think i'm fallin' for you…" it might be express in a different way...
but i did..! :D
and i was like, playing deaf, i was able to hear it again… i can't find any words to reply that, i was just speechless… but i remember i said, "i'm almost there…" and after few days, i dared to sing the song, i've fallen' for you by toni gonzaga in response to that...
take note, everyone knows i don't sing well, hehehe...
here goes the song, i've fallen' for you...
"what is this i'm feelin', i just can't explain
when you're near, i'm just not the same
i'm tryin' to hide it, try not to show it
it's crazy, how could it be
chorus:
i've fallen for you, finally, my heart gave in
and i'm fallen in love, i finally know how it feels
(so this is love)
when you said hello, i looked in your eyes
suddenly, i felt good inside
is this really happenin', or am i just dreaming
i guess, it's true, i can't believe (chorus)
doesn't matter where i am, thoughts of you still linger in my mind
no matter what time of day, i've really, really, fallen for you... (chorus)"
this has been my anthem anytime i can ;) yes, i know it can be corny for some... but i care less :) all i care, i am happy :))
weakness
today is a rough day :(
a senior old colleague scolded me for something. everyone in the office knows his attitude, he tends to flare up if something didn't go according his way. he is on sales and he has few potential customers for the company…
i've been doing things for him, estimates, draws layouts & single line diagrams, prepares d/o and I've been patient and handled him for three years now. nobody else is willing to do things for him…
but today is just different. he asked me of a single line diagram he insisted he told me to revised but i never drawn any single line he is asking me of. a single line he said he gave me the other day, which falls on saturday, and we don't work on saturdays...
he started to shout, talked something bad and heard him call me a stupid girl...
one of my weakness is, if anyone shouts on me that will immediately trigger me to cry...
so i was crying for like more than an hour this morning...
one thing i didn't like about what happened, i answered him back and insisted my arguments. i felt guilty about it because he is old and he is supposed to be someone i must respect. i'm not the kind of person who usually do such things. i felt bad after...
but i thought right at that instant that i also deserved to be respected by him even if i'm just his subordinate and is way so young than him. i might be probably younger than his children...
thanks to some of them here, who consoled me by saying, "please cool down, it's fine, he is always like that... you know his attitude...", "he is not worthy, so don't mind him...", "you're strong, don't let him ruin your day..."
but i am fine after i released all those tears... it ruined my mascara though :( that i had to wash my face, hehehe...

vigan city - may 2010
me, ever, jaidee and lau were on our way to vigan city few hours after jaidee got in ever's place... where she spent the cold night outside with the guard :(
we headed to bus terminal and bought our ticket. we waited right in front where the bus will park, thinking that if we get in first, we can have the front row seats not knowing that the ticket has a seat number... guess what, we were seated at the back :( but we still had a nice trip. we enjoyed the view along the road, slept, ate and laughed along the way...
when we arrived at vigan late in the afternoon, we walked around the famous calle crisologo (crisologo street). it is one of the main attraction of the city. a few hundred meters of cobblestone street lined with heritage houses...and ever has been there for few times...
after we found a place to stay, we went out again and had dinner at pizza hut. what's amazing was the place is also an old structure. you can't tell it's pizza hut if there is no signage outside.
we went back to calle crisologo and we had so much fun. with ever's camera set on a timer we had our own pictorial on a natural light... we were surprised on every pose ever had...
we also walked around the city and admire the old structures...
on the next day, we went to the beach. it's not nice there but the three of them had so much fun on the strong and heavy waves... too bad, i wasn't able to join them in the water...
we actually wanted to go to pagudpud where there are nice beach resorts but that would take another long hours of travel... maybe, next time...
this is one unforgettable trip for me...

baguio city - may 2010
ever had been working at baguio city and she planned to follow her husband jimmy who is based at australia. thinking that it will take time before we might see her again, laurence and i decided to visit her... laurence traveled from bangkok and me from singapore, from the airport we took a long bus trip to the city of pines...
ever fetched us from the bus terminal and brought us to her mansion... yes, she was staying then at hanbi mansion :) we had our dinner at pnky cafe, one of ever's fave place... and we were wearing shorts though it was very cold. after dinner we walked to session road...
but ever was busy with her work, so it was only me and lau who explored the city on the next day... we went to wright park which is just nearby from ever's place. then walked to the mansion and mine's view park... lau was the one expert around the city though it was his first time to be there. we visit the botanical garden as well and camp john hay and found our way to lourdes grotto...
on our second night, we just stayed at ever's place. lau's friend also came over with his smart boy... during the night the bula bula was never missed out. and oh, jaidee was supposed to be there that night but she came very late when we were already sleeping. she called us when she arrived but our phone was put into silent. and we were surprised when we woke up the next day of the number of missed calls we got. jaidee stayed outside with the guard outside :(
