You and I must make a pack

We must bring salvation back

Where there is love

I'll be there

I'll reach out my hand to you

I'll have faith in all you do

Just call my name

And I'll be there

And oh, I'll be there to comfort you

Build my world of dreams around you

I'm so glad that I found you

I'll be there with a love that's strong

I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter

Togetherness is all I'm after

Whenever you need me

I'll be there

I'll be there to protect you

With an unselfish love

I'll respect you

Just call my name

And I'll be there

I'll be there to comfort you

Build my world of dreams around you

I'm so glad I found you baby

I'll be there with a love so strong

I'll be your strength, you wanna keep holding on

If you should ever find someone new

I know she'd better be good to you

'Cos if she doesn't

Then I'll be there

I'll be there

I'll be there

Just call my name

And I'll be there

I'll be there

I'll be there

Just call my name

And I'll be there

Just look over your shoulder

Just call my name

And I'll be there...

@#$%&*?+@%$#!!!

what a way to start the week...

my only consolation was that the commute going home was a breeze. maybe the drivers knew i had a bad day and if i were in their place i'd really step on the gas. hehe. plus i was able to chat with my brother, which is always a good thing, who's in KL right now.

hayyyyyyy...

wet pants

Come with me to a third grade classroom...There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and the front of his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened. It's never happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives.

The boy believes his heart is going to stop; he puts his head down and prays this prayer, 'Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead meat.'

He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.

As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water. Susie trips in front of the teacher and inexplicably dumps the bowl of water in the boy's lap.

The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is saying to himself, 'Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!'

Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy is the object of sympathy. The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry out. All the other children are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful. But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his has been transferred to someone else - Susie.

She tries to help, but they tell her to get out. You've done enough, you klutz!'

Finally, at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers, 'You did that on purpose, didn't you?' Susie whispers back, 'I wet my pants once too.'

May God help us see the opportunities that are always around us to do good..

Remember...Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.

Each and everyone one of us is going through tough times right now, but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can...Keep the faith!

spaghetti on a rainy afternoon

The bf and i were in the grocery last thursday night. When i passed by the pasta/noodles section, i instantly had a hankering for a home cooked spaghetti. =) takaw! Right there and then i purchased the ingredients like pasta, cheese and sauce. yeyeye! I planned to buy the ground pork and hotdogs the next day when i go home from work. The next day it rained on my way home! That's why I was not able to drop by the market to buy the missing items. =( Meaning no spaghetti that friday evening huhuhu. When i woke up saturday morning, like my mom was able to read my mind, the meats are already in the freezer! hooray!! So, after finishing my laundry i went ahead to the kitchen to boil some water for the pasta. Added a tablespoon of oil to prevent the pasta from sticking together and half a teaspoon of salt for a little flavor. Then i also set on fire a second pot for the ground pork to cook. I combined it with enough water and let it boil till the water dries up and its own fat browned the meat a little. On the side, i chopped up garlic and onions and cubed the hotdogs and grated the cheese. =)

The pasta was now al dente after 20 minutes on the boiling water. 20 more minutes and the ground meat is ready.

Then heated up a little oil and sauteed the garlic and onions. I then added the hotdogs in the pan to cook it with the meat. When it was tender and juicy (hehehe) i added the spaghetti sauce, half of the grated cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper. It simmered for 5 minutes and was removed from the fire after. I then added the pasta and mixed it with a little more cheese. Voila! Spaghetti for the whole family! It was our comfort food for that rainy afternoon.

Twitterish Updates

Bought Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason paperback last weekend. Planning to read it this week if I'm not too tired when i go home after work or in the weekend if i don't have a much more important chores to accomplish. This is a sequel for Helen Fieldings's Bridget Jones's Diary. Both were found through my whenever-there-are-secondhand-bookstores-in-the-vicinity-i-will-surely-scan-their-collection hunts. Nice di ba? :p Oh, just now I'm making a mental note to myself that the books at home needs some cataloging or at least be arranged in a somewhat comprehensive order so as to avoid duplicates on my next purchases. yikes.

Visited the dentist a couple of days back. Had an oral prophylaxis and pasta on one of my teeth for freaking PHP900! I felt i was robbed. hehehe. Yeah, you can say that i was not satisfied with the service =( This is a new dentist kasi. I guess I am just used to my old dentist.

Downloaded the latest Naruto Shippuuden episodes (64&65). Gonna watch it when i get home later. ;-)

Added a tag board here :D Y'all know how to use it right? Don't be shy now. =)

A former officemate popped me in aim earlier this morning and told me that he accidentally hopped here while googling his site. =) I was skeptic at first but upon mimicking what he did on how exactly he landed here I resigned to the thought that my little surreptitious space is not so secret anymore. hahaha. My picture up there is the culprit. ;-) But then again, anything is possible with the www.

One Step At A Time - Jordin Sparks

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

Chorus:
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

Chorus:
When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
when you need to find the strength
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time

SKL :p

I was cleaning my personal folders here in the ofc pc and while deleting, moving and reading through a whole lot of notepad files, i got this. I must have received it on the forwarded emails or read it on the countless blogs i hopped on, i can't remember really ;p anyway, it is a nice story. very enriching. so, share ko lang...

A little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter,"Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river." The little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand." "What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father.

"There's a big difference," replied the little girl. "If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."

***

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than expecting them to hold yours...

The beauty of life does not depend on how happy you are.
But on how happy others can be because of you!!!

better late than never

some people say that they're afraid of falling in love. they fear the possibility of learning to love the person then lose them when the relationship ends.

when i met you, i was fearless. i plunged with my head and heart in sync. i was clueless of what's gonna happen...of what's in store. i remember praying then for guidance on whatever it is that God let me into, that He may led me with strength and wisdom if this is what i have been praying for in a long time and provide me with the same if this is just one of the lessons He wants me to learn.

After two wonderful and challenging years, i am still fearless and learning. Because the experience teaches me a lot not only about love but also about life. yes there were tears, ugly fights, bickering and silence that lasts for days. but what's great about it is we are given the chance to express ourselves, to get to know more about each other and learn together. I believe that trust, respect, understanding, acceptance and contentment are key factors in our relationship. without them we'd be really scared out of our wits, constantly anxious of what's going to happen. also, it is a greater help that you always assure me that you'll always gonna be there for me. i can see and feel it everyday. thank you for loving me the way you know how and showing me that there's nothing to be apprehensive about.

the heartaches and years of waiting was all worth it.

yat, happy 2nd anniversary! iluvu. ♥♥♥

little things that made my day

Yeah just click on the links,
kinda tamad to expound hihi :D


"If you were a zebra, how would you spend your days?"


"What's black and white and warm all over? A penguin in a wet suit, naturally."


"So to all photography newbies: no need to wait until you get a dSLR. Your cell phone's camera or a borrowed point & shoot is good enough to get you started. The most important thing is that you're out there shooting to your heart's delight."


We have this at home but never did i thought it can be this beautiful.

Test your mathematical skills

There is a bus with 7 girls.

Each girl has 7 bags.

In each bag, there are 7 big cats.

Each big cat has 7 little cats.

Each cat has 4 legs.

Question: How many legs are present in the bus?

I received this in my email last week together with an attached protected spreadsheet. The supposed answer would be the password to open the file. Since i am on petiks mode(hehe), i gladly aim for the solution of the given problem thinking that it is easy. First attempt...wrong. Whoa what item did i miss to include, which legs did i forgot to add or multiply? Hmmmmm...back to calculation. After a couple of minutes i have a brand new answer. Double click the file...password prompt pop ups...enter the digits...press enter...plangak! wrong again. hehehe...this was not easy as it may seem. Okay back to calculating the cats then the legs with a notepad and calc open. Daya? Well the digits are getting bigger eh and i am not that gifted to do it mentally. ('__') A couple of addition and multiplication here and there, another combination of digits was produced. For the 3rd time, i got it all wrong. Nyahahaha...easy pala ah. Now, im challenged. I read again the email this time slowly than the last because this could be a trick question and the answer could just be there screaming at me. But no it was a legit mathematical problem. okay back to the notepad and the calc...there is a bus with the girls, there are bags, cats, kittens...legs, multiply, add...voila! got a new answer. Hoping this is it, i carefully punched the digits and tadah!! the spreadsheet opened. Yihaaa! Im so proud of myself that i added my name on the list and forwarded the email to others. Two of whom i forwarded it to got back to me asking for the answer and one refusing to even try coz it will only give her a headache. Nyahahahha...

Happy Solving!

motivation for change

whoah...am posting? hehe...maaga natapos sa work eh kaya daan muna dito bago umuwi. =)

been to kc's blog (yep you read that right as in concepcion...hehehe...lurker ako dun eh) and read this in one of her posts:

"I also learned that God didn't live to teach us how to want more... His life was about the challenge of letting go. They say, let go of something first, go down first, and you'll earn the kind of faith that'll allow you new beginnings and the freedom to grow."

thought provoking di ba? applicable kaya sia sa work? hmmmm...and then i remember another quote from a goldilocks planner which goes:

"there is no such thing as can't, only won't.
all it takes is a burning desire to accomplish, to make a change.
go forward, go backward, whatever it takes."

ahummmmm...motivation! i'll be 2 years and 6 months na here in 5 weeks. gotta move, gotta move. tick tock tick tock.
