What Were You Like...

20 Years ago?

I was 5 years old living in Belgium with my mom. I was attending a local school called La Futaie. I was speaking French as my first language, barely Tagalog and did not know any English at all. My mom would walk me to school daily because it was near our house, the people were very nice and accommodating. I made lots of friends in that school.

15 Years ago...
I was 10 years old. Me and my mom were about to leave Belgium that year after staying for more than 6 years. We were going to go back to the Philippines where I don’t remember anything from it all all since my last stay there when I was 3 years old. I cried a lot all the way till we arrived in the Philippines. I didn’t want to leave Belgium

10 Years ago...
I was 15 years old and I was living in Malaysia. I attended an international school called Fairview International School. I wasn’t that good in speaking English so they had to put me through a special English class. I started playing and liking basketball because I had a Filipino friend who was very good and since we were the only 2 filipinos at the school, I had to maintain the reputation that he started. I had my 1^st real girlfriend (the 2^nd technically but the first was a joke). Her name is Emillia, I met her through one of my Filipino friends (she was his ex). We lasted for only 6 months. I made lots of new friends in Malaysia, some which im still in contact with till today. I went clubbing for the first time with my diplomatic ID.

 

5 Years ago...

I was 20 years old. Studying in CSB taking a course in Consular and diplomatic affairs. I was involved in a lot of school activities. I had lots of friends. Everyone notices me coz I was big and muscular then. I have been consistently going to the gym and increased my weight to 170lbs. I was dating a lot, meeting different girls, being set up by friends, trying to find someone whom I would be able to have a relationship with. I haven’t had sex for 4 years then. I was very frustrated about that J. Had loads of fun, drinking going to gimiks, hanging out with friends.

3 Years ago...
I was 22 years old. I was already working at INFOnxx, my first job. I had a girlfriend, her name is Lily. We’ve been together for about 1 year and a half already. She would stay at my place most of the time, actually all the time. I was performing very well at INFOnxx as an agent. I was always the team’s top agent, all my teammates were trying to beat me but couldn’t. I also made lots of friends at work and had lots of fun with them. I was earning 13500 then as an agent.

 

Last year...

I was working for Teletech as a supervisor. I was just transferred from QA to operations. I made new friends again.I handled my first team consisting of people I would always remember. I met Abi, the person im going to spend the rest of my life with, the bearer of my children. I was also earning 27500 as a supervisor.

This year...

Im working for IRMC as a supervisor. Made some new friends again with my agents. Im still with Abi and have no plans of changing that forever. We’re making plans to get married, we’re trying to save money for our future.

Last night...
I had abi at my place till 9pm. I was so tired but after I dropped her off at the fx station I couldn’t get back to sleep till 12.

Today...
I received tons of emails from sprint and glen. I was able to reply to all and fix all issues concerned. I had chicken breasts again for lunch.

What Were You Like...

20 Years ago?
I was in grade 1 with the most unloving teacher; her name was teacher beth tongohan. Who could ever forget that name? I had a brother who was a year old that time…had a blast in ICA where I met most of my dear friends! I had my first kiss with Bernard Villaflor in our school bus!

15 Years ago...
I was in sixth grade. I had my first retreat in Batangas. I also had my first cigarette with my friends at that time. I had an American teacher. I was a member of the tracker and field team for middle school.

10 Years ago...
I had my first real boyfriend, who eventually became the father of my kid. I was with the varsity team of ICA (basketball and volleyball). I was also on the upper 10% of my class! SNMSP (samahan ng mga sobrang pretty) was born. I had so much with my hs friends then, we’d smoke, drink and even do jutes – hehehe!

 

5 Years ago...

I already had my first job then with NWA as a ground stewardess. I was 22 then. This was a big change in my life since Tim had to attend school that same year. Tim was 3 years old then. My relationship with Jun was on the rocks at that time.

3 Years ago...
I was with PeopleSupport working as a CCD or subject matter expert. I had good friends in PS. I was with Miko then. I was 24 years old. I had fund then but things did not go the way I wanted it to.

Last year...

I was working for Teletech as a supervisor. I met new people where I also met the love of my life, who after two years of being single, gave me more than enough reason to enter a relationship again, whew! I think meeting Joe was the highlight of “my last year.”

This year...

I’m still with Joe. He’s already met my family and I met his as well. My whole family loves and adores him; he loves my kid tooJ I am working for IRMC now, a collections company.

Yesterday...
I prepared Tim for school, went to work. Spent the whole day at work. I spent my evening with Joe.

 

Last night...
I slept around 8pm till 9:45pm in Joe’s place, then he had to bring me to the fx station to get a ride home. I slept beside Tim in my mom’s room coz my dad is in Subic.

Today...
I prepared Tim for school again. I took a bath and drank all my meds. I went to work…and am still at work!:(

Tomorrow...
I would still be preparing Tim for school. It’s their Linggo ng Wika tomorrow. He’ll be wearing a barong, hehehe. I’d take a bath and report for work as usual.

Next year...
I’d be promoted by then. I’ll be paying off the condo my family got. I will be getting married latter part of the year, hopefully. I would be living in Makati with Joe by then. I would go and explore one country in Asia (just one country, at least!). I would have saved more money in the bank by then to buy a new car!:)

I can never have it any other way
We now have respect for each other
I have let go
It's all good....no worries no hard feelings....

I look back and see my life is in the way it should be
I would not want it any other way
Everything happens for a reason
There is a purpose behind it

I am on the verge of giving up
I find it senseless to go on with someone
who does not have the same views as I am.
I understand that different people have different personalities
and characters but, when you are in a relationship
both of you could somehow find a reasonable compromise that
would be acceptable to both parties...in my case..no...

I wake up one day and realize that we are not of the same world
I am from one and you are from another
How is it possible that these things would come in between us
I often find reason and meaning to what keeps two people together

ewan ko kung bakit naman sa lahat lahat ng pwedeng maisip na magawa, eh wala akong magawa
ayoko nang ganito, pakiramdam ko'y nakakabobo, parang nde totoo ang mga nangyayari
araw araw na ginawa ng Diyos, ganun na lang palagi ang ginagawa

josef...
handsome as a lot of people would say
extremely patient
hardworking
intelligent
loves to party

There are people who can walk away from you;
and hear me when I tell you
this! When people can walk away from you: let
them walk.

I don't want you to try to talk another person into
staying with you,
loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming
to see you, staying
attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.

When people can walk away from you let them
walk. Your destiny is never
tied to anybody that left. The Bible said that, they
came out from us that
it might be made manifest that they were not for
us. For had they been of
us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1
John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to
you. And if they are not
joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them
go. And it doesn't mean
that they are a bad person it just means that their
part in the story is
over. And you've got to know when people's part
in your story is over so
that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've
got to know when it's
dead.

You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you
something . I've got
the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I
believe in
good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm
faithful, and I know
whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to
me. And if it takes too
much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to
stay. Let them go!!

If you are holding on to something that doesn't
belong to you and was
never intended for your life, then you need to...LET
IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and
pains . ..LET IT GO!!!

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and
see your worth ...LET
IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you ... LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and
revenge...LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or
addiction ... LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets
your needs or talents

... LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude...LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel
better... LET IT GO!!!

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take
you to a new level
in Him... LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken
relationship....LET IT
GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone
who won't even try to help
themselves...LET IT GO!!!

If you're feeling depressed and stressed.... LET IT
GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so
used to handling
yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of
it," then you need
to... LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past. Forget the former things.
GOD is doing a new
thing for 2005 !!! LET IT GO!!! Get Right or Get
Left... Think about it,
and then LET IT GO!!!

"The Battle is the Lord's!"

 

I do not have an idea of what I'm going thru
I think I have grown cold or somewhat hostile
But my question is this: is this just a mere phase
that people go thru or is this feeling permanent
towards that person you are currently sharing your life with?
We are bound to make so many mistakes and I believe
we always need to learn how to pick ourselves up and move on...
In this way, we learn how to mend our broken hearts and grow
to become the person we really want to be...
I often wonder why we can't seem to get what we really crave for in life
Is it because when you get the person you've been wanting, it doesn't
make sense anymore to go on with it since there is no more thrill or
the "kilig" feeling so they say?
I want to be free of these thoughts, I feel I'm goin thru a phase of
not liking what I have, not cherishing my blessings and not counting the
