TIME FLIES

They say that time flies when you're having fun... And part of fun is laughter...

Part of our growing up is knowing these cartoon characters that we idolized either for their heroism, beauty, strength, selflessness, and immortality--or just their being silly. But what if these cartoon characters aged as well? You know, like us humans over the passing of time will deteriorate and will also show some signs of human aging? Curious how barbie may look like if she's REALLY celebrating her 50th bday?

Got this from an office e-mail and just wanna share to you all.

Barbie losing her figure but still keeping her cyber coolness

Batman & Robin still BFF amidst attack of Alzheimer

Superman is SuperGramps!


Spiderman will now be S-pity-man

Might-Thor no more


Wonder Whore-man

And tweety the bird, can't tweet no more!

Just keep in mind...

"Life is short, forgive sooner, love with true love, laugh without control and always keep smiling. Maybe life is not the party that we were expecting, but in the mean time, we're here and we can still dance....."

dine in or take all?

got this from one multiply user... funny! patama sa kasalukuyang namamahala... =)


magagalit nyan ang mahal na pangulang pacquiao..

I FEEL THE EARTH MOVE UNDER MY FEET

Change is inevitable...
Change is like breathing; it's part of life...
The only constant in this world is change.
With change comes movement.

They say that to grow is to change...
To change is to move to something better...
This made me anxious because I'm not good at it...

Change is something that I cannot easily accept.
For it means that I have to move out of my comfort zone...
That zone where the world --my world-- rotates steadily

Everything is familiar...
Familiar faces...familiar places... worn out but familiar...

I remembered during the big earthquake of July 16, 1990. It was the first time that I became aware that the world does move. Literally it was moving under my feet. My parents were not around and I was awakened by the sudden move of my bed--I was in Grade 3 then. I was not scared--I was petrified. But I did not move an inch. I thought that if I did, my bed where I was lying will be gone. That the walls of my room will crumble. I wanted to emblazoned in my mind what my surrounding looks like before everything changes. I was trembling like hell.... I did not move... I did not run... I just stayed...

This was the first time I learned what change is...
No matter how hard we try to stay the same, one way or the other, our outside world won't.
I thought that if I didn't move amidst earth's shaking, everything will stay in place.
But that earthquake propelled us to relocate.
It was a change, a move, that made it hard for me to accept for quite some time...
The aftermath affected me in a way that if there's change, or the need to do so,
I am afraid to grab it...

It dragged till now that I am in a relationship...
Few instances have shook me in a way that should have prompted the need to change.
Change myself. Make a move. Start a new.
But I am still stuck.. Stagnant...

Suddenly the memory of me back in my bed 19 yrs ago, dumbfounded while everything around me moved, is coming back..

The past weeks here in the office have all been about change.
Colleagues resigning, transferring to different process...
A friend had her heart broken...but not her spirit...
Teammates left... but my team partner remains...

My outside world is shaking. For the third time in my life, I feel the earth move under my feet..
All of them are moving... My surrounding is changing...
What frustrates me the most, is that I am still like that child two decades ago that had a hard time accepting the change...
That nothing is permanent... Life has to move...

I am not good in goodbye.
Nor I am best in adapting to what the change might offer.
But this time, I have to get over that shadow, the fear that hunts me till now whenever an earthquake strikes..
I know the best defense not to lose balance is to go along with the move..

There will be little tremors coming...
But the aftermath will not have me crumbling anymore...

my bday wishlist

march is almost ending.. and with april coming, another year will be again added to me...

below are five things that i wanna have for my bday... to my friends out there, come on be generous and kind enough to make my wish come true..

2. SOFA FOR MY MOM

► ok, this is more of a personal plan as part of my house development... my mom's bugging me about this as well since her bday last march 9th... might as well include a ref and a washing machine...

1. FINANCIAL AND CAREER GROWTH

► this for me is something for that will give me peace of mind. i am wishing that there will come a time that me and my partner will be free from debt. that time comes when the pay we are receiving every 15th and end of the month doesn't just turn into receipts. we wish that time comes that out of 8 credit cards will have none or just this three... or four.

i miss those days when paying in cash was my only option.

career wise, the only thing that keeps on bugging me is that i am not growing. i am working in ibm for more than three yrs now and i know in myself that it's high time for me to move up. have you ever felt that you're paid for doing something you're over-qualified for? that's the situation i am in now and i don't like it. i wanna grow... i think i even wanna move up...

espresso talk

coffee after shift before we head onto the weekend off is one of the things that i look forward to before. this was our way of keeping update with ourselves--personally, emotionally, family and relationship-wise. it is also a great stress-buster; talking about anything and everything and opening up.

we usually do this--me, kalay, aj and jhong. then jhong transferred to TP and the three of us though we're still with IBM got busy every now and then that our coffee session was halt for awhile...

then just before our shift ended, kalay cajoled me to have breakfast. since i was not that hungry we decided to just have coffee. so off to starbucks we went....

it's been a while since we did this last, and at first it was like we were back on the getting-to-know each other stage. we catched up on our individual relationship--me with darwin; her with nikki. then it was just like before. the comfort of coffee enveloping us as we started telling details of what's going on with who. shared secrets, family concerns, personal feelings, been each other's counselor and confidante.

i really like talking to kalay. people may have an impression of her as someone as a spoiled brat, a snob, a princess... but over a cup of coffee, i am so thankful that she's giving me the chance to get to know her better. the real kalay beyond all the glitz and glamour. we're both an only child (technically) so with her it's like confiding to a sibling (a younger sister) that i never had. i trust her of my emotions, my thoughts. and in return she's pouring our her feelings and sentiments with trust as well.

those precious seconds we get to spend is something that puts a smile on your face. it makes you feel lighter knowing that there's someone listening, mirroring...

keeping the love alive is what best described our coffee session for today. our love for our family... for our partner.... for friendship.... a love that is unselfish... sacrificial... love that makes us go on... endure... strive... struggle... and love even more...
