This is going to be one of those entries where I'd talk about life and share my thoughts again...haha I feel that it's been ages since I've done that. Lately, I've mostly posted lyrics, videos or some other stuff.
So here goes, I'm on my second month here at work. I'm enjoying it a lot. Trust me, nothing beats being able to earn my own money. hehe Before I just wanted to work with big, multinational or at least well-known companies. Now that I think about it, it doesn't matter where you work, just as long as you enjoy what you are doing, and the work environment is good. True that if you have a name of some hotshot company in your resume, you have a greater chance of getting a better job next time, but really, what if my first job is at a multinational, then after that, I'd want to aim for something bigger, right? So after a multinational would be what? An even bigger multinational? Somehow, I don't want to be in that whirlwind where pressure and stress co-exist. haha I'd like to start slowly and enjoy being in a workplace...I'll deal with pressure, stress and competitiveness later on when I understand more about corporate lifestyles.
A year ago, all I wanted to do was go back to my childhood homeland up north. I wanted to see if opportunities there are any better than the ones here. But something always came up so I ended up where I am now. I'm not complaining now or anything. Canada can wait for a few more years. But really, all I want is to get away from my parents for a while...so if they are there, I'd probably look for a job somewhere where they can't stay for a long time. hahaha Sounds mean, but its true. I want to go on a journey of self-discovery. I am not saying that I don't love my parents...just that their being overbearing and control-freak-like is extremely nerve-getting. Somehow, I'm never on my own. I crave for freedom and adventure.
Parents are supposed to be role models for their kids. But I don't want to be like my parents...Not one bit. Enough said. More would entail a very very long post which I don't feel like doing right now.

Hana Yori theme song
These are two of my most favorite songs at the moment. I can't seem to get tired of listening to them! I love Flavor of Life the most...hehe They're both from the Hana Yori Dango OST. One is from Part1 and the other Part2.

The moonlit night show its face, and the children’s voices disappear
You are somewhere in that distant, distant sky, aren’t you?
Do you remember the constellation we found
When we snuck out to this park at the end of summer?
Even if I can’t see you, I want to trace back over our memories and feel that same happiness
The fireworks burst open, with that scent
I want to go to where you are, I want to run there right now
It’s so dark I can’t see a thing, but it’s OK to be scared
Even now, the countless stars in the sky are here
I won’t cry; this is the beautiful sky I looked at with you
The sound of your shoes that echoed as far as that street, still reamins in my ears
You’re thinking of it too, aren’t you, as you look at your huge shadow
You’d think I wouldn’t care at all, but a huge pain swells up
No matter how much I think of you, you’re gone
I want to go and be by your side, I may be small, I may be small
But I love you more than anything, and it makes me strong
I tried to make a quiet wish on a shooting star
But I won’t cry, I’m sure it’ll reach that beautiful sky
Even if I can’t see you, I want to trace back over our memories and feel that same happiness
The fireworks burst open, with that scent
I want to go to where you are, and take your little hand
I want to cry, this is, this is, that beautiful sky
I tried to make a quiet wish on a shooting star
But I want to cry, I’ll send the love that won’t reach you into this sky…

“Thank you” when say that to me, it’s a little painful
The lingering magic even after the “good bye”. It’s the slight bitterness
The flavor of life
The flavor of life
In the midway point between friends and lovers
It’s looking forward to the day of harvest, this blue fruit is.
Because I can’t take that last step, yeah
It’s frustrating and more, baby, ah.

The lingering magic even after the “good bye”. It’s the slight bitterness
The flavor of life
The flavor of life
Pickup lines that are nothing but sweet; chatter that’s wearisome
I have no interest in any of them
Even when things don’t go my way, yeah
I realize life hasn’t been wasted, ah
When you suddenly ask me what’s wrong, I can only answer no, nothing.
The smile that disappears after good bye. That’s not me.
The more I want to believe in you, the more it gets painful
The words “like” sounds more like you than the words “love”.
The flavor of life.
Right around the time we start to forget the fragrance of our love, we suddenly remember
Let’s be more honest and enjoy the white snow piling up.
Our future that’s warm and softer than diamond
I want the rest of the time there is; I want to spend them with you.

feel the heat
Gosh! It's like so hot! How could it possibly turn from chilly, nice weather (If I'm not mistaken, it was 18dergrees Celsius in Manila) to one that is around 36 degrees early in the morning and who knows what the temperature is in the afternoon. I hate this kind of weather! It makes me all sticky and it makes my head hurt. This calls for a trip to Baguio...hahaha
My dad is planning to go to Korea this Holy Week. I hope it pushes through. Yey! It's a new culture that I'll be getting to immerse myself into. I'll have to miss one day of work though...I think. I t depends on the departure date.

Lunar New Year celebrations
Last Saturday night we went to PICC to watch the Guang Xi Acrobatic show...President Arroyo was there with her grandkids and her entire entourage of bodygurads in tow as well. haha Lito Atienza, Dr. Lucio Tan,and other bigshots were also there. The show was great, much much better than the fashion show/program at the PICC Forum the week before. That one was so boring, I didn't even want to watch till the end. That was the first time that happened. Anyway, it's amazing how the performers at the acrobatic show could bend their bodies this way and that. It almost seems like they don't have any bones. We didn't get to finish the show, unfortunately.
After PICC, we grabbed a quick dinner at Gumbo's at MOA before heading off to FGS for the 點頭香(Diam Tao Hiu) The celebrations were held at the new building. The place was decorated really really nicely. But then, nothing beats seeing it once it's really completed. I can't wait to see the new temple when it's all finished. I hope next year we will be able to celebrate in a finished, air-conditioned new temple.
Sunday, we had dinner at grandma's. And Candee had a singing contest in the morning. We slept all afternoon since we had gone home around 2 AM the day before, or that morning rather. haha
______
I'm in love these days...with someone maybe. But I don't really care. It just makes me feel good. Its like somehow I'm always energized and just full of life. I know that he may be too far and that he's too shy. But I'm content with what we have now. I'm willing to wait for him. As long as in the end, the wait is going to be worthwhile.

back to work
I was absent from work last Feb 13 and 14..I was so sick..ok not the kind of sick where am terminally ill, but I was not feeling really good. I was dehydrated and I couldn't eat anything, because I ended up throwing up or doing that something else. You get the picture. For two straight days, I was lying down on my bed, drinking Gatorade, trying to get my body to not repel anything I eat. It didn't really work the first day, so on V-Day, I had to go to the doctor. I was given something that would keep me from throwing up and something that would help me digest stuff easily. In short, Valentine's Day was so much fun...wahahaha
On a serious note, while I was in bed, and dizzy because of the dehydration, I got thinking about how my parents take care of us kids whenever we get sick and they have to do it even when they're feeling icky. It's not just because its their responsibility or anything like that. Yeah,it's love working, they love us as we do love them, but they just hardly ever ask us to take care of them when they are sick, except maybe when they get older of course. hehe

It's Friday again! Happy weekend everybody!

grrrr....
Well, when theres a will, my sister surely has a way...My sister read the messages in my cellphone. She found out about something that I never really wanted her to know about anyway until I was sure about it. She claims to have read only ONE message, but I doubt that since the message she told me that she read is like in the Saved Messages folder and it's not the first one on the list, so it certainly was impossible for her to have just chosen one at random. Grrr...I hate it when she does that. I just have no privacy anymore. My mom used to read my diary(when I still had one) and read the letters friends gave me, and dad used to read my cellphone(he stopped after he accidentaly erased all the messages) and now, Candee is the one doing the nosy stuff..I hate that! AS IN!

Quality over quantity
I've always wanted to belong. I know,on the outside, I don't seem to care..I seem like an ice princess, cold on the outside. Not really bothering with whats happening. Unless you try to get me involved into it that is. Well, but once I really know someone(and vice versa), I do open up..and that person does see what am really like...a warm soul, just burning and hoping that somehow I've made some effect in other people's lives. Or maybe hoping that I am part of someone else's life.
My parents tell me that I don't have many friends. I don't really care...as long as I have a couple who I can really open up to and be myself with..Someone who won't mind whatever I say or do. Someone I wouldn't mind being silly in front of.
Ok..I'm not all that cold. As a matter of fact, I'm usually the first one to start a conversation with someone, like at a job interview, or at a line at the grocery. But really, when am at a place where everybody knows each other already, I find it extremely hard to just fit in. It's just that they have more memories with each other, so you just seem like an invader that wants to get into their world.

bad weather
The weather for the past few days has been so weird! It was cold. then it was warm, then just a little windy and its a very uncomprehensible cycle of weird weather. Now, I'm not feeling too good. It's like I'm getting a fever or something. My head hurts, and I am feeling warm all over even when the air-conditioning is on. It's just so uncomfortable.
Anyway, it's the end of my second week at work. Can you believe how fast the time went by? I also got my first ever salary last Wednesday. It felt really good to earn my own money. hehe At least now I can buy a lot of books without feeling guilty. haha Although I am putting some away in the bank, or if I find other stuff to invest in. I'm getting used to work here, although I am still considered slow compared to the others. But then now I have net on the computer I'm using so it helps a lot.
