Very sad news. :[

Learning

2009-03-04T23:42:00.000-08:00

I realized that I learn faster and better when I study something by myself rather than have someone tell me what to step-by-step. :]

Dilemma

2009-03-04T00:36:00.000-08:00

To watch...
Or not to watch...

You Changed My Life.

Just had my turon.
It was so nice! :]

Missing him

2009-03-02T22:39:00.001-08:00

Last night, while I was half-asleep, my husband told me he missed me after a day of him being at home (yesterday was his day-off) and me in the office. I'm not sure what I said in response or if I responded at all. I was too tired last night I fell asleep right away. Now, I feel sad, guilty, and missing him.

Say what you need to say...

A Hell Of A Monday

Traffic in NLEX
Traffic in EDSA
The ever-crowded MRT

Result: I was late! :(

Craving for...

2009-02-25T17:09:00.000-08:00

I'm craving for that yummy cheese pandesal from LKG building in Ayala Ave., Makati.

It's been a whole day of nothing.

Today...

2009-02-24T19:34:00.000-08:00

I am 29 weeks pregnant. My baby's been moving around my tummy as if there's a playground inside. And I'm liking it. :)

2009-02-24T17:43:00.000-08:00

I can feel my throat drying up. I need coffee - no! I can't have coffee, it's bawal. A hot choco will do.

I hope...

The 45 lessons life taught me, by Regina Brett

2009-02-23T20:55:00.000-08:00

1.Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.
8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement, starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past, so it won’t screw up the present.
12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
35. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.

Oscars Craze

2009-02-22T18:44:00.000-08:00

Everybody's anxious about the Oscars. Who's gonna win? What film will hoard the golden man? Since I'm at work right now, I cannot watch the live telecast of the awards show. So I'm just relying on the net. So far, Pelenope Cruz has bagged the Best Supporting Actress award. Slumdog Millionaire and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button have both won 2 awards.

Usually, the most-awaited awards are Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Picture. Now who's my bet? Hhmmm... For the Best Actor award, I will have to say it's Sean Penn, although I haven't watched Milk and although I'm in love with Brad Pitt. ;p Then, for the Best Actress, I'll go for Meryl Streep or Kate Winslet. My Best Picture will have to be Slumdog Millionaire. I love it!!!

How about you? Any bets???

Got this from littlemiss.

“Maybe crying is a means of cleaning yourself out emotionally. Or maybe it’s your communication of last resort; the only way to express yourself when words fail the same as when you were a baby and had no words.”
