The Naked Mind

Umiiyak ako habang tinatype ang blog na 'to. Kaya kung merong typographical error, alam n'yo na kung baket. Mahirap sabihin ng buong buo kung bakit ako umiiyak. Basta ang alam ko, masakit ang puso ko. Kung merong isang bagay na makakapanghina saken, 'yun eh ang malaman kong niloko lang pala ko. Hindi ako bato, poste, pader, o kung anu pa mang bagay para hindi masaktan. Tao ako, nasasaktan, nahihirapan, umiiyak at unti-unting namamatay. Mahirap sabihin ng buong buo kung bakit ako umiiyak. Basta ang alam ko, masakit ang puso ko. Hindi siya ang una kong minahal pero alam ng Diyos na minahal ko siya ng higit sa kung anu pa man. Sa kanya umikot ang mundo ko. Mali na kung mali pero alam kong balewala ang buhay ko kung wala siya. Walang saysay ang mabuhay kung mawawala siya sa mundo ko, sa buhay ko. Marahil buhay ako at nakakagalaw pero buong kaluluwa ko ang patay kung wala na siya sa piling ko. Mahirap sabihin ng buong buo kung bakit ako umiiyak. Basta ang alam ko, masakit ang pu...

by A Fine Frenzy You fingertips across my skin The palm trees swaying in the wind Images You sang me Spanish lullabies The sweetest sadness in your eyes Clever trick I never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do We walked along a crowded street You took my hand and danced with me Images And when you left you kissed my lips You told me you would never let forget these images, no I never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do I cannot go to the ocean ...

I slept yesterday with a heavy heart. I was crying silently with my body stiff in bed. I wanted to shout and scream till I get exhausted. But I didn't. I chose to just lay down and cry silently. I love him but I know he don't deserve someone like me. He would be happier with someone else. Letting go of him is hard, but I know it's the best for both of us, for the people that surround us. It's kind of ironic to let go of the most precious thing in your life but I did.. I just did, and so my heart cried and died..

Ang sama ng loob ko ngayon.... First late ko this month... Bwisit kase 'yang Makati Day na yan eh! Late ako ng 4 minutes. Pa'no ba naman, nilakad mo mula People Support hanggang Lepanto Buildin g sa Paseo.. Linshak! Haaayy... wala lang, naglabas lang ng inis sa blog . Pero masaya ko dahil sa wakas, Friday na! Yoohooo...... Hehehe.. Pauwi na ko. Bye!

Katatapos ko pa lang maligo nang maramdaman kong naiinitan na agad ako. Putek talaga! Napakainit ng panahon. Kawawa naman 'ung mga 'kanong nandito sa Pilipinas. Hindi sila sanay sa ganitong klima at panahon. Summer pa bang maituturing ito? Hinde.. Higit pa 'to sa summer. Para sa'ken, tila ang Pilipinas ay nasa loob ng isang malaking oven. Bine-bake tayong lahat. 'Ung iba piniprito. Deep fried. Haayy... Ano ba 'tong naiisip ko. Kasi naman ang init!! 'Eto na, palabas na ko ng bahay. Europe time ang pasok ko kaya 1:30 pm ang labas ko ng bahay. Good luck sa araw. At kahit nakapayong ako, tagus-tagusan pa rin and init. Kung ang buto ay natutunaw, balat na lang ako ngayon. Pati sa loob ng tricycle, mainit.. maalinsangan. Sa LRT, naku po! Andaming tao! Mainit na nga, mabaho pa! Siyempre good luck sa mga bagong ligo. Haaayy... Hihimatayin 'ata ako sa loob ng LRT. Pero walang magagawa, kailangan ko ng sumakay at baka ma-late pa ko. Shemai talaga! Whew! Grabe ang ...

I don't have much to say. I'm just an hour away from going home. Anyways, I would like to share with you a good quotation. "When the heart grieves over what is has lost, the spirit rejoices over what it has left." -Sufi Epigram ------------------------------ Reference: http://quotations.about.com/od/sadquotes/a/heartbreak4.htm

The speech below is long but a must-read for all Filipinos!!! Here is the speech that Mr. John Gokongwei delivered at the 20th AdCongress last November 21, 2007.. Before I begin, I want to say please bear with me, an 81-year-old man who just flew in from San Francisco 36 hours ago and is still suffering from jet lag. However, I hope I will be able to say what you want to hear… Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. Thank you very much for having me here tonight to open the Ad Congress. I know how important this event is for our marketing and advertising colleagues. My people get very excited and go into a panic, every other year, at this time. I would like to talk about my life, entrepreneurship, and globalization. I would like to talk about how we can become a great nation. You may wonder how one is connected to the other, but I promise that, as there is truth in advertising, the connection will come. Let me begin with a story I have told many times. My own. I was born to a rich Chinese-...

Newly registered nurses in the Philippines are required (or preferred) to undergo IV (intravenous) Training. For experienced nurses, they still require refresher courses and renewal of their IVT License. Philippine Heart Center is one of the premier and prestigious government hospitals that offers an in-depth IV trainings for health professionals. Indeed, thousands of newly registered nurses wish to enroll on the said training and acquire the best knowledge they can get from the well-respected institution. I first heard of their trainings last January of this year. I am one of the thousands of aspirants who go there and fall in line at around 5 in the morning, the day before the registration. I thought my arrival time is a guaranteed in for the limited slots they are offering. Unfortunately, i was the 120th person in line. And the disappointing part is, they only got 30 from us since they offer limited slots with "first come first serve" basis. A month has gone by and a frien...

"Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting." -Mother Theresa Loving every people we meet in our lives seems a tough act. Most of us will be doubtful to share love and be kind to someone whom we don't know that much yet. But the above quote merely states that we should love the world and appreciate the creatures that make it bloom; the people who lives freely, the calming and exhilarating beauty of nature, the playful animal kingdom and the world per se . "Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier." -in short, we should touch lives. Loving someone doesn't mean that there should always be a pleasant ending. If it turns out to som...

Will you count me in? I’ve been awake for a while now You’ve got me feelin’ like a child now Cause everytime I see your bubbly face I get the tingles in a silly place It starts in my toes And I crinkle my nose Where ever it goes I always know That you make me smile Please stay for a while now Just take your time Wherever you go The rain is fallin’ on my window pane But we are hidin’ in a safer place Under cover stayin dry and warm You give me feelins that I adore They start in my toes Make me crinkle my nose Wherever it goes I always know That you make me smile Please stay for a while now Just take your time Wherever you go What am I gonna say When you make me feel this way I just-mmm.. It starts in my toes Make me crinkle my nose Wherever it goes I always know That you make me smile Please stay for a while now Just take your time Wherever you go Dada dada dadada dada dum.. Mmm mmm.. I’ve been asleep for a while now You tuck me in just like a child now Cause every time you hold me in y...

I am a registered nurse. I just passed the recent Philippine Nursing Licensure Examination held last June 2007. Though this is my profession, i currently work as a call center agent, specifically for an outbound account. Majority of the clients i talked to are Americans, Canadians and some Latin Americans. However, a new campaign was introduced to our company and we need to do a consumer satisfaction study. Thus, i am one of the chosen agents to conduct the said survey. And the exciting part is, i have new clients. Europeans! Since the new campaign is focused mainly in Europe, my body clock will repeat its adjustment to fit Europe's time zone. But hey! I am excited to speak with new people with a different race and culture. I heard a lot of good things from my friends who happened to experienced talking to European clients. “Europeans are more patient than the others”, they said. Even with my previous work, also in a call center company, the account i belonged to is focused in Nort...

I am sad, totally sad. I am in a gloomy state of mind. But the weird thing is, i don't even know why. All I know is that I am not happy with what's happening right now in my life. Yes, i have my family with me, my friends, a job, but i still feel... sad. I am sort of numb with my previous problems and i've cried enough. Maybe all those tears explained how apalling my life have been. I am sort of numb that as if I am walking on ice yet my feet are still relaxed, i am breathing yet my lungs are already hyperventilated, I can hear the sounds around me but i can't comprehend the origin of their resonance. I can feel the breeze but my skin won't transmit the impulse to my nerves. Totally weird, totally vague. Maybe at one point in our lives, we really do feel a total darkness and we can't find our way out of its misery. I am perhaps in that particular point in life where i don't know what's wrong or what's bothering me. Or maybe i am in the state of den...

Dear Louise, You are about to go home at 5am. A week is over and finally, you'll have a rest for the weekend. Thank you for being patient in making calls and talking to "bossy" Americans. See you next Monday. Take care! Lovelots, Yourself

Masarap kumain. Mahirap man o may kaya, anumang estado mo sa buhay, lahat siguro nag-eenjoy sa isang masarap na pagkain lalo na kung kasabay mo ang mga taong mahal mo sa buhay. Marami akong favorite kainin. Depende sa panahon, sa mood , sa environment at syempre sa budget. =) Tuwing summer, patok ang mga nagtitinda ng halo-halo. Pero maniwala man kayo’t sa hinde, hindi ako mahilig dito. Mas gusto kong kumain ng dirty ice cream na tig-lilimang piso at nasa apa. Para sa iba, ginagawa nila itong palaman sa monay. Mala ice cream cake siguro ang dating kapag nilagay mo siya sa tinapay. Pwede rin ang saging con yelo na gawa ni Mama. Iba kasi ang sarap ng luto ni mama ng minatamis na saging. Work of love siguro ang dahilan kaya namnam na namnam ko ang sarap. Sa tuwing sasapit naman ang June o tag-ulan, masarap kumain ng Beef mami sa Best Friends . Nakakainis nga dahil nagsara na 'ung branch nila sa tapat ng kalye namen. Parang isang masakit na break-up ang nangyare nang malaman ko...

Im actually on the brink of lassitude but the thoughts of you keep rumbling on my mind which still keep me adept. You're inexplicable, and this perhaps is one iota of a reason why is it so hard to get you off my mind. I like enigmatic people because my curiosity ignites. I want to discover the mystery in you. I want to know you more. And i want you! I'm not a showy person, the reason why I label myself as part of the norms (the usual/ordinary i mean). A few friends would know the real persona in me. I'm not a "pretentious" person, it's just that, i don't show all of me. Mystery ignites one's drive to know someone. You tend to approach or talk to someone, make a good conversation, and voila! you're like a cryptologist who just deciphered a piece of mystery to one's life. It's fun to experience that by a mere conversation, you found out something about the person. Like a mere adventure, that's what i want. Yeah, right! Fine! This blog is ...

Sa paglipas ng panahon, marahil isa ka na sa mga lumuluha at dumadaing dahil sa sakit sa puso. Oo, sakit sa puso! Pero hindi ito basta basta sakit tulad ng myocardial infarction, cardiomegaly o 'ung mga typical arrhythmias na dinaranas ng mga pasaway at sige pa rin sa pagkain ng bawal. Ang sakit na tinutukoy ko ay isang sitwasyon na kung saan ang puso ay nakikipaglaban nang patayan upang makuha ang “pag-ibig” na gagamot sa kanyang mga naghihikahos na ventricles at atria. Ito ‘ung tipong kinakailangan mo ng mismong brand name na “TLC” na kung saan ang generic name ng gamot ay “unconditional love” . Pero, subalit, ngunit, datapwat, sapagkat, merong mga tuluyan nang nagpalamon sa mga kalaban at hindi nakaligtas sa hamon ng pag-ibig. Ito ‘ung mga pusong nasugatan nang labis at namantsahan ng pagdurugo ang kanilang mga puso. Sabi sa commercial, “New and Improved Tide” . Abah! New na, improved pa! Siguradong walang maiiwan na mantsa sa damit mo. Naisip ko tuloy, kung pwedeng labhan ang ...
