To My Mini Me

2011-03-30T19:26:00.000+08:00

I am looking forward to Friday because I'll be forever bound to your dad who I love so dearly. I am looking forward to April since we'll start shopping for your stuff. I hope you won't mind that my favorite color is purple and you might get tons of those. I am looking forward to May since I'll be spending my birthday in our new home with you inside me. I am looking forward to June coz by then

Happy 2011! Once again cobwebs are visible in my blogspot. Haven't done much maintenance either. My plan of changing my template every month is not that feasible anymore since I'm working my ass off for 12-14 hours a day...talk about me being workaholic. Actually I already practiced saying "NO" the past 3 months for non-work stuff but still, 12 hours is not enough to do all the delivery work.

I haven’t blogged for quite sometime simply because I can’t make time to blog. There are a lot of events that happened already and I never got the chance to write about them. Okay so let’s back track to June since my last post was May. There are about 4 friends who got married last June. Amazing, it seems like it was just yesterday that we had to attend several parties for friend’s 18th

Second: Stargazing

2010-05-20T01:34:00.000+08:00

It has been close to 4 months now that I've known him. And today we are on our second month as a couple. And I feel so blessed to have him in my life. He came at a perfect time. I am already healed of my past pains and I have come to know myself more. I have proven to myself that I am capable of loving. The moment that I have let go of the desire to be in a relationship, was the moment it

Beautiful Tears

2010-04-09T01:18:00.000+08:00

I had the best tears last night. Not because I was sad or depressed but simply because I was in the company of great friends. We had a farewell dinner for Andy who's going to venture to a greener pasture in search for a better career. We began laughing even while were still checking the menu at SIAM up until we bid each other goodbye. And the flashback of wonderful memories from my college

Long Walks in the Park 1

2010-03-26T17:29:00.000+08:00

“30 more minutes and we’re there” shouted our trail guide James as we were stopping over a shade. Then I heard him snicker under his breathe and uttered to himself “plus 2 more hours”. He said further “This trek is just a piece of cake, like taking long walks in the park”. The park that he must have been referring to was probably Central Park in New York or Parke del Retiro in Madrid because

Gravedigger

2010-02-24T20:07:00.000+08:00

I've been feeling down lately. Simply because once again people have been pushing me to dig the past. The emotions that have long been put away in a crypt somewhere very deep into the ground have been taken out with just a single shovel. I hate it when I'm interrogated or when people force me to answer them with things they want to hear which composes mostly of intrigue. And so last Saturday,

Terrified

2010-02-13T23:07:00.000+08:00

I watched American Idol when I woke up and heard this being sung by one of the contestants... You by the light Is the greatest find In a world full of wrong You're the thing that's right Finally made it through the lonely To the other side Chorus: You said it again My heart's in motion Every word feels like a shooting star I'm at the edge of my emotions Watchin' the shadows burnin' in the dark

My Funny Valentine

2010-02-12T19:55:00.002+08:00

Should that be my dictum in life? Nah... Its just an expression our teacher in French introduced to us when we were talking about the unique jobs they have in France. Most if not all of the artists who created the most extraordinary paintings and sculptors were either from Italy or Spain or Portugal but they lived and died in Paris.

What have I been doing the past days??? Didn't get the chance to blog since first and foremost nothing knocked on my brain till now. What am I to blog about???Got a couple of news and updates:I just finished my second session of YOGA yesterday and it was pretty challenging. Although the techniques were well demonstrated by our teachers/instructors my body unfortunately had a hard time

Here are some photos I edited for our fund raising...The first one is for the first week. The one below is for the week that followed. The one that Doyle commented on is the 2nd one. Unfortunately both didn't make the cut since they didn't comply with Accenture's standards. But I had fun doing them and learned some tricks a long the way. Appreciated LAYERS more now that I understand how we

2007-10-21T20:50:00.000+08:00

I had this office mate. She's pretty but stern looking. Every time I look at her and try to smile, I have second thoughts because there's no hint of smile on her face. She's not that friendly, well not as I hoped she would be. She's the only one in her batch I haven't said hi to. But then, her birthday came. Days before that I added most of their batch mates's YM's to my list. And so on

Busy week, such a busy week

2007-10-13T11:50:00.000+08:00

I couldn't complain anymore. Got lots of task this week that I thought my life was a whirlwind. We had to design a postcard for a fund raising event. I never thought I could actually put my artistic side to good use. I had to pull out my flash tutorial from one of my hidden folders and tried to review it but then we ended up doing just a simple design in JPEG. We can't think of ways to embed

You might be wondering why I haven't been blogging lately. For one, been busy with work; with the non-deliverables that is. Recently joined one of the demo meetings of Silver and White Toastmaster's Club. I still don't have that much load at work so I decided to join. Maia told me to do things on my own, which meant me being involved with activities without having my close friends tag along.

How's Me?

2007-09-17T22:39:00.000+08:00

Today my heart got crumpled again. Didn't choose to, didn't want to but due to those unexpected comments from friends - I know He means well - those happy pictures and a mis sent message makes the feeling come back and replicate into a thousand needles. Watched an episode of Grey's Anatomy and once again, Merideth's last line kinda stuck to my mind:in the matter of knowing what you want,those

Ok check out the slideshow I made for my friendster account. While watching the slide show, my mom took a peek. Then she said: "See van, your life is not boring! You have lots of things going on basing from those pictures!" Heck, yeah my life ain't boring. Its actually full of adventures. Here's the slide show! Enjoy!

The Reason

I'm currently 23 years 4 months and 26 days old! I've already gotten my degree: BS Computer Engineering Major in Digital Systems Design and although my major is in hardware I have a job as an Associate Software Engineer in one of the leading consulting and outsourcing companies in the world. And I owe all of this to a whole lot of people. If it weren't for them, their sacrifices, their guidance

Got myself a haircut. My hair was too long for a wash and wear manage! Anyways here's my new look. This picture is taken at Kul's Kitchen when I had dinner with my friends from elementary.It was taken using Karen's phone. So who were there and what do they do after 10 years (didn't realize it had been 10 years since I graduated from my elementary education in USC South Grade School).In order

Ranting of the Uplifted

2007-08-30T21:14:00.000+08:00

I know to those people who have known me for years, who have heard every story of how I fall in and out of love?, or even listen to all my insane stories of that certain person who once again should not and forever be mentioned, would probably raise their eyebrows saying "Sure ka Van?" or would say "Sus, here you go again!" Well peeps, lets give ME time to forget, to move on, to probably find

i should not talk to my friends about him...

2007-08-25T12:35:00.000+08:00

Chatted with my friend Karen and she made me realize that its wrong to talk about how I feel for AKBS with her and the rest of my friends since he's also their friend. It would probably be unfair for him if we were talking about him with out him knowing...So I think I should shut up about it...Then again how on earth would I vent out all these feelings and thoughts if I can't even speak about it

and so it is...

2007-08-18T09:42:00.000+08:00

I saw him again and the same ol friendship is back. Actually it was just on vacation...We were on vacation from seeing each other. And I'm glad this thing(friendship) between us didn't change. He didn't feel awkward nor did I. At first I confused myself with thinking that the feeling was still there. But then after 20 minutes of walking in the streets of Aznar, I fathom that my feelings were

When love beckons to you, follow him,Though his ways are hard and steep.And when his wings enfold you yield to him,Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.And when he speaks to you believe in him,Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.Even as he is for your growth so is he for your

Guys usually don't spill the beans about girls to a GIRL. But in my case since I'm close to the guys, went out drinking with them, proven my worth of the secrets of the male denomination, I have finally gained their trust.Some guys are very affectionate. They would really master up the courage to show their feelings to a girl. Take friend one for example. He smiles, talks, holds the hand of

I'm going home on Sunday. It makes my stomach churn...I'm both excited and sad that the end of our training period here in Manila is finally concluding. In spite of the traffic and polution, I kinda loved it here. INDEPENDENCE... But then again, I still don't belong here. I don't belong to the group I'm with. I have discovered a bit of myself because of them but I am not one of them. I am

My office mate sent me an email. It almost want to make me cry of the most unfortunate event that could happen to anyone...And so I realized I'm not the most unlucky girl in the world...TODAY, I will attend an execution: my own. I will watch it with both eyes openand I will not cry. I will not break down just because the man I have lovedsince forever will marry someone else. I will watch him

I can't believe how stupid I am...I've fallen for a total creep again. Why am I always attracted to a bad guy, a chick boy for that matter? And I have to come around fast enough to forget it ever happened...In one of our chat sessions in the office he said I might have a problem with conversation...This moment in time, I would probably nod my head on Toto's comments on me being boring because

Because I'll be missing a lot of people: my papa, mama, my brother...my friends, events, things and that certain person.I cried because I realized up to know he doesn't know that I AM JUST HERE. I always have. He still couldn't see that. And my mind keeps on saying to forget him but my

Just got back last Monday from our Tacloban trip together with my brother. My back still hurts because of the sunburn. I tried to do a follow up with Accenture since my mom keeps on bugging me to either do a follow up for a start date or look for another job. So I did both. Met up with Soekarno yesterday to give him my application for LEAR. Called Gillamac this morning to verify if they've

That's what Merideth said in her bathroom talking to Christina when she learned that Derick's wife is in town, let alone working also in the same hospital they were working as interns. I know I watch too much of Grey's Anatomy but I can't help it. I feel like I have to know what's gonna happen next. I don't actually relate to the character's situation but I can surely relate to how they

Don't get me wrong, I love art and I know how to appreciate one and got some taste into it but unfortunately for me, nature doesn't
