I got hit by a bus...

Yup... i came to work this morning... and an inevitable thing happened. I GOT HIT BY A BUS! Well, i was. But it didn't cause any serious damage. I alighted from the bus that I was riding in, then this bus, who was at a halt, started to move, sandwiching me between the bus that I was riding. I was about to cross the street when the bus moved and hit me... point blank... at the right shoulder. Then I did the next best thing.. (or the best thing that I can do at that point)... I tapped the drivers window, and cursed him.. as in #@#$@%! And all of that curse! Shempre noh!.... It's a good thing I was wearing heels... (buti na lang), and when I crossed the street the conductor even shouted na "Hindi ka kase tumitingin sa dinadaanan mo!" Putcha! (Kasalanan ko pa pala!) So, i shouted back: " #@#$@%! Ikaw na nga tong nakasakit, ikaw pa tong mayabang! May ibubuhay ka ba sa pamilya ko kung may nagyari sa ken...!!!!

Gosh... it's really a good thing I'm wearing heels...at kung hindi, baka nakatakbo pa ako, and slapped him in his face!

Bus drivers ought to be careful. They don't know that the person that they hit has a family. Like in my case. I was more scared when I was sandwiched between the two buses, because there was no place to run. I was shaking when I came to work, actually, I was even rushing to go to work because I might get late. But... the jolly, old me... took things in stride and I luaghed about it so hard when I told my officemates. Although, i know that they were concerned.My supervisor even asked me seriously if I'm okay. Well, I am. I don't scare off easily. Maybe I will just be a little more careful the next time.

Pope Benedict XVI

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, of Germany, has been elected as the successor of the late Pope John Paul II. He chose the name Benedict XVI. Now that we have a new pope, I hope that he continues the legacy of his predecessor. And I suppose he will... he has been Pope John Paul II's close confidant and theological adviser for the last 20 years. May the Holy Spirit guide him in his endeavors.. and I also hope and pray that the Filipinos will have a special place in his heart, just like PJP II did.

BaD Day Ulit...

Alam mo ion? Minsan badtrip talaga eh. Ang hirap hirap na nga, the situation itself is making it even more complicated. Duh!!!! So, do you think I make any damn sense? Hindi diba?

Ewan ko ba, sobrang badtrip ako eh. Oo na sige na.. wala ng sense kung wala ng sense. Pasensha na. Ganon talaga. :/

My Thoughts on Marriage...

When I first found out that I was pregnant with Sajie, i was asked by my friend if sam and i will get married. I answered with conviction: "No, Of course not. I guess not at this time". Then he asked why, I answered, still with conviction.. "Because we are not yet ready"... and honestly, we are not...

I guess parenthood and marriage are two different things. It's like silver and blue. Although,they go along very well, it's hard to just make it work together. Both deals with emotional maturity and physical readiness.

I believe that having kids is not the sole reason for getting married at the wrong time. I mean, if at that certain point in your life, you feel that having a kid is overwhelming, they why even give yourself the added grief of getting married? Because...most of us will answer....that is the most right thing to do....

NOT! Having an unplanned baby is not reason enough for you to settle down with the father of your kid. For me, marriage is sacred, marriage is your whole life devotion to your partner. If in the crossroads of your relationship, you realize that the father of your kid is the man that you want to grow old with -- then go ahead, take the next step and get married. No problem there. But if you feel that you are not yet ready to tie the knot -- even if you have kids -- then don't take that risk. Better to be cautious than to be very sorry in the end.

In my case, I have two sons, but it seems like marriage is still very far in line. Although, I am still with the father of my kids, it feels like we are not yet ready to get married at this point in time. Why you may ask...because there are so many things that you have to consider before getting married. And believe me, marriage is just not all about love.

YUP! Marriage is not all about love. It's about 2 people living together, trying to work out every single thing that's different about each other. It's accepting your partner and loving all his / her shortcomings, his / her mistakes. Marriage is all bout acceptance, devotion, committment, love, trust, etc.etc.

No person or situation can ever dictate you in getting married. You and your partner alone can only decide as to when will be the right time for you to say the magic word "I Do".For when that the perfect time comes, there is no reason for you to avoid it either.

A Great Man

Yesterday at 6:30pm ET (12:30pm Vatican time), a great man was laid to his final resting place. Pope John Paull II was laid to rest after his 26 years of being the Pontiff of the roman catholic church. I know that deep in our hearts, we will truly, truly miss him.

The crowds broke into the appluase when the casket was carried by the pall bearers inside St. Peter's Basilica. When the casket turned to face the Basilica, I saw the man wearing white, turning his back on us, and walking towards the Basilica. Then he made his one last final bow, and was then carried inside the church. It's just so hard to believe that he's gone. That we won't catch another glimpse of him, we won't see him smile or pray or hug and kiss people. We won't hear his voice anymore.

It's just so sad that my sons won't ble to catch a glimpse of this great man. That they will only be able to hear about this great man in books, and religion classes. However, I know that wherever he is right now, he's in eternal bliss.

We will truly miss you Pope John Paul II, and forever you will be in our hearts...

We love you.. May you rest in Peace.

Bad Morning

i went to work today in a photo finish entrance. kala ko i will be late cuz i wasnt able to wake up early, woke up at 5am, i have to be in before 6, good grief...pano ion? shempre...since im really in a hurry, had to go and ride the taxi today...pero okay lang, at least hindi mashado mataas metro eh. hehehehe.

as usual, pag pasok ko sa office, guys from the night shift were there. maingay na naman! haaaay.. the noise is inevitable, but the table thumping is not.bastos tong kasama ko sa pod. kala mo kung sino eh... kung paluin niya lamesa kala mo sha lang tao. badtrip. pati computer gumalaw..i though there was an earthquake, i looked at judith who was also looking at me, then we realize that the computers were shaking of this obnoxious guy! pero hayan ko na nga... good thing, jenna called and we had a meeting, at least i can evade the noise, the table thumping and them.

i started working on some stuff, had to clear them up, maganda intentions ko hanggang sa nahila na naman ako ni Mr. Friendster. Kanina, i was working like hell, ngayon, petix ever, chitchat habang hinihintay ko iong reply ng bestfriend ko sa friendster (nadisable kase lahat ng chat services ng computer ko) badtrip.

3 more hours then i get to go home and see sam and my kids.... miss them like hell. badtrip ren kase bukas i have to go to work again. miss making kulit to them.

and a good thing.... buti na lang narecover ko post ko or else... (haaaayyyy...naiinis na naman ako...tinotopak na naman computer ko! - arrgggghhhhh naiinis na ako!)

Tired...(YaWn...)

i feel like i'm about to collapse any minute now. i am so tired. i want to sleep and sleep and recharge so i will have the energy to do the things that i am supposed to do tomorrow. can't wait for my vacation next week...hehehe...just the thought of coming to work for only two days gives me the strength to finish this week with a jam! hehehehe..however, just thinking that i will be staying in the office for 12 hours is not alright...

i miss my kids...and sam. i barely get to spend time with sam because he is in the night shift so we only get to see each other for like 4 - 5 hours (maximum) per day. i miss my kids so much... i just look forward to going home every day because of them...

hayyy....i'm really so tired and sleepy.... zzzzzz

Bad Day... Bad Mood

I think I'm gonna have a bad day today. I woke up feeling not okay because of my work schedule. Badtrip. I don't know what's gonna happen. Sheesssshhhh!

For "Lolek"

When I was first saw you ten years ago, I was touched by your presence. I never had the chance to hold your hand, or meet you., yet, by seeing you (even in a distance), i felt so calm and serene. I am amazed by how much crowd was there, your presence is so overwhelming. People were chanting your name, and they were following you. Admist the chaotic state of the grandstand, people were sacrificing the comfort of their homes just to be there and listen to you. You have the charisma. You have the power. You have the holy presence.

Last night, as I was watching you, I couldn't believe my eyes. I was teary eyed. Even if I have not had the chance to meet you, I know that somehow, I lost something. Someone. And I know that I share this feeling with millions of people around the world.

The shocking truth is slowly sinking in. I feel that I lost somebody so close to me. Seeing you in your "coffin", the state where you are in right now is unbelievable. I will never be used to seeing you like that. I have always seen you laughing and smiling. I was expecting you to bounce back, but you didn't. And this time, it's for real.

Your journey towards home has started. I know that when you're there, you will be looking down on us. You will be praying for us, and will still be guiding us even if you're not here anymore.

Your memory will forever be in our hearts. We love you Pope John Paul II. May you rest in peace.

Pope John Paul II... A Tribute to a Holy Man

Pope John Paul II died at 3:37am (manila time - 9:57pm- Italian time)... such a great loss for the 120 million catholics all over the world. however, although we are deeply saddened by his loss, we join him in his journey to everlasting life. The past few days, he went through a great amount of physical pain, but now, the physical pain has ended... and his healing begins...I am not really that religious, pero, I am saddened by his death. I was in Luneta 10 years ago for the World Youth Day. And i was touched by his holy presence. I sensed in him a caring, sincere and religious and holy man. Why do good people have to die? I guess that's the question in my mind right now...

Let's pray for him.
