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!!!

SpongeBob SquarePants! SpongeBob Squarepants! SpongeBob... SquarePants! Haha...

Cool huh? Get it in mp3 format here and if you want The SpongeBob Squarepants Closing Theme by Blue Hawaiians, go right here.

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.

rong ispeling

According to Wiki:

Modified starch is a food additive which is prepared by treating starch or starch granules, causing the starch to be partially degraded. Modified starch is used as a thickening agent, stabiliser or an emulsifier.

LOL! I was having this as my breakfast a few weeks back. How did I notice that you might ask, well, a part of my weirdness comes the habit of reading the ingredients listed on any food pack. It was second nature to me to know what was in there. Kaya ayan.

Kelangan yata nila ng proof reader or spell checker?! But in fairness, when I check another pack the next couple of days after, it was "starch" already. Hehehe...

reasons to celebrate!

Besides the coming Christmas day there are lotsa more reasons to be happy and to celebrate. For one, my dear dear friend Jill gave birth yesterday to a healthy bouncing baby girl! Yey! Jillien Astrid is the panganay of our barkada. Then, another dear dear friend is tying the knot next month. This was just a hunch last month but Mich (the bride) confirmed it to me already just minutes ago. =) I am so happy for her. Erwin, my brother is also coming home from Bangkok on Christmas day itself so it's really a yehey day for the whole fam. Also, Jhay is here already from Shanghai and said that he's staying for good while Anlo is coming home this weekend from down under so a get together for the barkada is a must. And before I forget, today is my sister Mheng's birthday! (Have a good one be!)

So there...Cheers to everyone! o_0

pandamonium

I've checked my friendster and viewed some profiles and saw this:

Goodness! I'm wanting that uber cute panda! But it is heartbreaking to know that this photo was taken in the UK. Ang layo!! Hehehe...as if naman maa-afford ko siya diba? *sigh* Then a former classmate popped me in YM and her photo was of a panda too. Yayyyy...so cute!

It happens that she was also into these cuddly cuteness. She asked me where did I get my collection of panda stuffed toys. I've got some you know. *wink* Then I remembered the photo above so I shared it to her. She agreed that it was indeed a great find. Sana parang DV lang ang UK di ba? wahhhhhh...Now, my obsessions to these furry creatures has awaken again. I've googled images, stores, stuffed toys, blogs, articles and news clippings until my cravings was satisfied. Haha...I'm addicted. So aside from these, did you know that a female panda ovulates just once a year? and there were only about 1,600 living in the world? That is why preservation efforts are being done in China where some are bred in captivity. While reading those stuffs and looking at the pictures makes me want to spend a day on those shelters, feeding, cuddling and playing with them. That would be a real high.

Isn't that cute or what? o_0
