new someone...

i met him sa mall... he was just by himself... i've met others like him in puerto galera... but he's much different...

and since that night he went home with me, halos araw-araw, kasama ko na siya... protecting me...

friends and officemates have been amused with him... others were scared... remarks like 'what was i thinking'... 'ano bang nagustuhan mo sa kanya?"...

oh well, for one... kakaiba siya... second, he's cute in his own unique way... three, after praying over him, he seems effective...

meet my new companion... TABU!!! hehehe!


i've three colors... green, black and red... hehehe! and almost everyday, i've tabu pinned on my shirt... hehehe1 cuuuuttteee!!!

random rambling on love and happiness...

today, a friend asked me through text message if i would trade love for happiness... it took me a while to reply because honestly, i didn't quite get her drift... where is she coming from... where is this leading to... and ultimately, it appears to me that we hold different meanings to love and happiness... love with happiness.... and happiness with love...

hey friend, like you said... i'll have to be truthful... my most practical sentiment... well, if that's the case... this is a very easy question... i won't... in fact, it's a far out question...

i will never trade love for happiness... and to begin with, i really will never be happy in life without love... like i always say, love provides me strangth in life just as it is my weakness... my love and my happiness goes together... i can only be happy when there's love in my life... in every sense of the word... which is why you lost me in confusion... because i just can't imagine, how can one person be happy if he gives up love...

but I think the points covered were extremely interesting... even in sex, it is practically my heart that decides and chooses who i do it with... when to do it... how to do it... and all is driven by love... okay... wait... don't get me wrong... i am not portraying myself as the virginal sublime guy... i've had my share of the play and the flirts but... but... what i'm saying is, if it's happiness we're talking about, the best encounters that count for happiness is always made out with love... the rest, which is very few (hahaha!), is nothing but passing forgettable nights... a generous provision of outlet and release for those deprived of a romantic partner... whatever prue... whatever...

to me, one of the most exciting, happy, and important parts of life is falling in love... and this is something i always truly look forward to... even in failed relationships, there's still wisdom to be learned... after all, if i do not experience pain and sadness, how can i truly know the feeling of happiness?

if someone takes away my ability to fall in love, or prevented me from experiencing pain, my life, in all honesty, will become pointless... it is just tantamount to being deprived to feel happiness in the end...

and with this in mind, i will now go back to the question of trading love for happiness... i believe they co-exist so much that it is impossible to take the other way and experience another... thus, this seems like an unfair question that is not feasible... at least, not with me...

hey friend, i don't know any better than anyone... perhaps, i am not even better than you... and that isn't the rationale at all... it is just that i feel strongly this way because it is the only thing acceptable for me... all depends on how you define your happiness... and the role love plays in your life...

here's a sidelight... you just made me realize once again how fortunate i am to experience failure... to feel pain... to be won over by anger at times... to be given the chance to wallow in shame and sadness... it makes me appreciate my life now... and the happiness i have...

are you confused yourself? or you really believe there can be happiness without love?

be guided... i pray you are...

joke... joke... joke...

i nomally don't enjoy text jokes... for the simple fact that it is forwarded, sometimes i do not read them at all... pero after our very long story conference kanina, para naman mag-lighten ang mood, binasa ng officemate ko yung mga naipon niyang text jokes... at dahil magaling magdeliver din, naku, sumakit ang tiyan at panga ko sa kakatawa... hahaha!

here's some of them...

DONYA: Bilang bagong katulong, tandaan mo na ang almusal dito ay ala-sais impunto?
INDAY: Walang problema donya. Kung tulog pa ako ng mga oras na yun, mauna na kayong mag-almusal.

BABAE: ha! Hindi nga doc?
DOC: hehehe! Ninerbiyos ka noh. Joke lang misis. Patay na siya!


PULIS: namukhaan mo ba nangrape sa iyo?

para kay angel...

and in my angel's dialect...

GIHIGUGMA KO IKAW, ANGEL!!!

hihihi... mula yan sa mataba kong puso po...

saying i love you...

three special words... “I Love You”... it is what we would always be hearing when we talk and express love... somebody out there may be waiting to hear these from us... and if we're sincere about it, we can't be reluctant... the big issue, of course, to some of us is WHEN to say it... but is there really a good timing... if you feel love towards anyone, romantic or not, there's got to be no standard or basis or qualified sign when to express it in three big words...

most people worry if the other person feels the same way... and are either hoping or fearing if the other person will say it back to them or not... let's not be this way... it sounds like a cliche but having to say 'i love you' from the heart means having to love without expecting... big deeds for any normal being... but may be... just may be... as soon as we stop expecting, the same affection and appreciation will be endowed to us...

where am i coming from anyway? well, aside from the fact that i really am 'in-love and loving' these days, this entry is also the result of a promise to my friends...

yuletide rambling...

no month goes faster than December with its frantic countdown to Christmas.

even as I write, i'm still going ga-ga over thinking and juggling names in my head as to which gift goes to who... i just can't seem to accomplish a final list... even with the early prep and foresight, budget never seems to be enough... hahaha! the heck if my wallet and account goes near bankrupt, i will splurge... and i'll pour gifts... i'll be a santa... it's what makes me really feel joyful during christmas... the fact that i've shared...

the seasonal lights are going up in windows and on lawns all over town... it's a lovely sight and the best memories to keep... no matter what, we find a way to celebrate... despite the untimely attempt of trillanes to salvage us from the ill-government he so perceives... despite the limits in resources... and the prevailing load of work that never seem to cease in piling up, even when i try to finish everything, before i know it, i've another assignment... hahaha! cge... subukan ulit ang tatag at tibay ko.... hahaha! sorry.. inspirado si prue... tormented man ang spirit, weak man ang flesh ngayon... strong-willed naman ang puso ko ngayon... and if the universe knows me very well... huh! it would know that my greatest power emanates from the heart...

anyway, back to figuring out what gifts to get for friends and family... gaaahd... it is the harder part... especially when you realize most of them almost has everything they want... or better yet, to put it in a clearer light, at least with the things money can buy... hahaha! admittedly, what we ultimately need in life are the ones that can't be bought...

calling on my friends, acquaintances, family and other loved ones... care to share what you wish for? hehehe! just keep it to real, attaiinable wishes... okay... hahaha!

now, the hardest part of course... my gift for my angel? my angel isn't really materialistic... a simple guy with simple joys... hmmmm... how about wrapping myself in a box? hahaha! difficult ata yun... i'll definitely need the biggest balikbayan box then... hahaha! really... grabe... i still don't have a concept... there's got to be... and yes, my self pressures me because i want it to be special... hmmm... how about... hmmmm.... nuninuninu... hehehe!

oh well!

here comes december... and may it be a happy yuletide for all of us... mwah! mwah! mwah! to everyone!!!

busy bee but happy...

would love it if i were out shopping or having that movie marathon with my friends...

i already missed beyonce's concert because of my studio taping... i also failed to see Papa P's concert... mind and body have been perfectly abused to even enjoy time with myself and my sister... she'd understand, i'm very much sure...

but do i understand? not missing the concert, of course... it's about the amount of work that keeps loading up... i feel like a wheelbarrow carrying weight more than my wheels can handle... literally, at some points, my knees shook dahil sa pagod... and my muscles, nanginginig na... cried even because i'm just too damn exhausted...

grabe... di ko na mabilang... i've actually lost track of all that i have missed because of the responsibilities i have to assume... it just never changes... oh, wait... wrong... it does... it does... it gets heavier, tighter and more demanding... either i'm just too good at it or i'm plain dumb... such sucker for pain and pahirap... yeah, true to pruesadomasochism...

ilang gabi na ba akong uuwi na wala na akong lakas to even check my e-mail or my blog... and now that i have the time, i give in to the temptation of letting my steam off all over the net... huh! ok lang 'yan... breathe it out...

i saw this coming naman... hahaha! o cia sige na... universe... hear this... so what kung pagod?! so what kung bugbog ako ngayon sa trabaho?! so what kung bagsak na ako sa kama pag-uwi?! so what kung di na ako magkandatuto kung anong uunahin ko sa mga gagawin ko for the day?!

for the love of all that's beautiful... i thank God for giving me so much work... i know this is a blessing from you... truthfully, i am prepared for this naman... malaki naman ang reward sa dulo...

yeah, that's the funny thing.... i maybe wasted at the end of the day but even more inspired to accomplish everything... malapit na ang 21th... yes, i am very much looking forward to that... hehehe!

by the way, angel called two days ago... asked how i'm doing... and if i've eaten... how's my christmas daw... and i honestly answered with... "pagod pero happy"... hahaha! it's the sublime truth... angel asked why... nagmaganda naman ako... said "ewan ko.... basta..."

that of course was followed with a giggle... giggle likely to come from a lad with a 20 for waistline... hahaha!

then sabi ni angel... "angel, lapit na 21..."

and i replied... "yeah, i know... why? what about it angel?" and i was secretly smiling of course...

sabi ni angel... "ah ganun, sige... ganyan ha..." hahaha! sarap magpa-cute...

prue then made bawi... "angel... you know what... i've been wanting to tell you something..."

"what angel?" sez him...

my heart naturally let out music... "for everytime that i feel scared you won't be returning for the next few years, i die... it is because, now i know... i love you... and that if i ever stop trusting... i'll be a fool because i'm giving up on my own happiness... my life's better with you in it angel..."

those were exactly my words... i remember everything i said but i will also not forget what he said next... "kaya nga uwi ako angel... ayokong malungkot ka..."

okay... okay... pasencia na... i just really have to share it... pagpasenshahan na... tao lang.... nagmamahal... natutuwa... it isn't everyday that you are made to feel special...

hihihi!
