“Love is like a traffic light there are three colors which becomes a guide for us to know when to stop, to let go and to take action”

STOP (red light)
“Loving someone so much doesn’t mean they’re the right one for us”
Hindi laging may happy ending kapag nagmahal ka, because true love never ends.
May mga pagkakataong mararamdaman mo ang sakit na dulot ng pagmamahal mo.
Masakit isiping may mga taong hindi kayang magpahalaga sa mga taong nagmahal sa kanila.
Sabi nga….
“Its better to accept the fact that you are not appreciated than to insist yourself to someone who never really see your worth.”
Habang patuloy mong minamahal ang taong yun mas lalo kang masasaktan
Dahil… Natatakot kang tanggapin ang maaari pang mangyari.
na ang taong buong puso mong minahal ay bulag sa pagmamahal mo.
Hindi dahil mahal mo ang taong yon, sya na talaga ang para sayo.
Natatakot kang mawala ang taong pinakamamahal mo.
Pero siya ba takot ding mawala ka.?

LETTING GO (green light)
Letting go doesn’t mean giving up,
But rather accepting that there are things that cannot be.
May mga bagay sa mundong ito na hindi nakatakda para sa atin.
Maaring ang mga bagay na ninanais natin na maging sa atin sana, ay iyon pa ang hindi kailanman magiging atin.
Kailangan mong matutong magparaya “let go” upang maka move on at maka get over tayo sa sakit ng ating nakaraan.
Loving someone is letting them free, letting them go…
Masakit?
Oo.. Para sa katulad mong nagmahal.
Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away
And going away means forgetting…
To let go its not to deny but to accept that the hardest thing to do is letting go..
Not because you want to, but because you have to.
May mga taong darating sa buhay natin na siyang muling magbabangon sa atin sa kabila ng pait ng nakalipas.
Huwag nating isarado ang ating puso…
Dahil….
Sa tayoy nagparaya….
Nagmahal….
O nasaktan.
Kundi may taong handang pumasok muli….

TAKE ACTION (yellow light)
While someone breaks your heart, another someone else is waiting to fix it.
Proceed with caution..
“Careful forethought to avoid danger or harm”
Natatakot tayong masaktan…
Natatakot tayong harapin ang pwedeng mangyari….
Natatakot tayong magmahal muli….
Kaya nga nauso ang salitang “courage”
Yon ang kailangan natin to “take action”
Kung ang traffic light ay may yellow light para sa caution sign,
Sa love ganun din kung alam nating masasaktan lang tayo at di maaaring pumapel…
Huwag na nating pahirapan ng husto ang ating sarili…
Kumbaga sa elevator, Kung alam na nating siksikan na.
Huwag na tayong magsumiksik pa.
May hagdan naman ayaw lang nating pansinin…

Stop
Let go
Take Action
Traffic Light

“Lakas ng trip”
Les Caraibes Resort
Laiya San Juan Batangas
TM’s Chill Out

It’s Sunday morning on the 3rd of July, since its Holiday in the USA the selling team of our company is scheduled for acquaintance party or just to unwind. But in call center industry we used to call it as a team building. After stressful work every night most of the call center company gave their employee a time to let everything go or to relax. I am not supposed to join on this outing because it’s a party involving telemarketer group only. I am thankful because even I am not part of their team; I was able to join them in view of the fact that I was invited by their Supervisor Ma’am Irene! After 11 in the morning we left Makati going to Batangas. We reach the residence of Ma’am Irene around 1 in the afternoon. The place is so titanic which is idyllic for large numbers of people to stay. They plan to stay their in single nighttime and we enjoy the rest of the time in the place we stay. I feel glad being surrounded by humorous people, with the luscious food, the mixed of strong drinks and a lot of things to enjoy. I woke up at around five in the morning and prepare myself going to Les Caraibes Beach Resort in Laiya San Juan Batanggas. It’s a very time-consuming travel. As a matter of fact Nakatulog nga ako sa biyahe! We reach the resort after two hours of journey. Les Caraibes Resort is the best place for hilarity or to calm down! My office mate says that it’s a white sand beach but for me it’s a brunette sand shore. Les Caraibes is a French word, it means The Caribbean as what I have heard in the place the resort owner is French. While Batangas, In 1581, the Spanish government abolished the Province of Bonbon and created a new province that came to be known as the Province of Balayan. After a volcanic eruption buried Taal in 1754, Batangas City--so named after "batangs," the logs found in the Calumpang River--became the new capital, with the province adopting its name. And San Juan has a majestic coastline with several beach resorts to visit for swimming, diving and other outdoor activities. This is the best thing on my monthly project I was able to search for the meaning and facts of the places I visit. Parang lakbay aral na rin! Di ba Educational din aside from extravagance. But the trickiest part of this trip is on my journey going back to Manila alone! Again its challenging since I need to go back to Manila before my log in time on work. I went to San Juan town of Batanggas from Laiya and look for a transport going to Manila. When I was in the town of San Juan, I find out that there is no transportation from their going to Manila. Someone advised me to take a ride going to Lipa Batangas, and from that place I can look for a bus going to Manila. It’s another two hours trip going to Lipa. I was able to pass two towns from San Juan, the town of Rosario and town of Padre Garcia. And for the second time on this project Jam Liner is present again! I take a ride in Jam liner bus and just like before I don’t have any problem on my trip with them. I reach home before 5 in the afternoon. Advertising lang po, try Jam Liner bus on your next trip it’s pleasant and convenient! To Ma’am Irene and to all the TM Department, Thank you for bringing me on your jaunt! I enjoy the place, the travel, the food and the people!

“Wala lang trip trip lang”

Picnic Grove

Tagaytay, Cavite

Bon and Pet tripping

“Tagay Tay”! Its sounds like you are inviting your father to drink a glass of Tanduay. Tagaytay is located in the province of Cavite. The place is 55 kilometers away from Manila passing through the Aguinaldo high way.

Originally the place I want to visit for this month is Bagiuo City, but worst the “Bagyo Falcon” was the first one to visit me here in Manila. So I decided to search for the place which is nearer compare to Bagiuo. Finally, I have a strong-willed to visit Tagaytay in Cavite. I called my cousin Bon to go with me on my target place. He agreed to join me on my trip going to Picnic Grove. Its exciting because we both not familiar with the place and it’s our first time to visit the place. We are determined to visit the place on the 25th of June. But the typhoon Falcon is more determined to flood the Metro Manila on that day. And that is enough reason to cancel our trip since it’s so hazardous to travel that day. When I woke up the next day! It’s a beautiful Sunday morning! Falcon is away! I called my cousin and informed him that where going to go on with our trip.

On the backside of Sogo hotel near the Taft Avenue Station of MRT, we found the Bus Station going to Tagaytay. We pay for our fare amounting 78.00 Pesos each and ask the bus attendant to drop us on the town of Olivares Tagytay. After almost two hours we reach the town of Olivares. We look for a tricycle to carry us going to Picnic Grove. Picnic Grove is the most popular place to visit in Tagytay since the resort goes with the breathtaking zip line. The place is just few minutes away from the town of Olivares. When we get there we pay for a very economical 50.00 Pesos entrance fee. After that we ramble around the place. There are a lot of people on that day since its Sunday. I enjoy the view of Taal Lake and of course the Taal Volcano. Our lunch is easy on the pocket and perfect when it comes to taste! After three to four hours of staying in Picnic Grove we decided to leave the place since its getting behind schedule. The Colettes Buko pie is the best among all the delicacies I found in Tagaytay. You should try it when you get there.

When I arrived home, I search for the History of Tagaytay. Trough Media and research I find out that the place named Tagaytay came from the word “Taga” meaning to cut and “itay” meaning father. It’s a story of father and son, and sad to say I don’t know what’s the story about. All I know is that the son keeps on shouting or asking his father to cut or let say to “taga” the monster or whatever creatures attack them. He keeps on shouting the word “taga Itay” “taga Itay”. Until communities of that place heard him (the son) shouting the word “Tagaitay”. And as a final point they called the place Tagaytay. That’s it! Correction on story will be accepted.

“Akoy lakwatsero”

Victoria Parish Church
Victoria Calapan Mindoro Oriental
Bonbon’s wedding

Finally, before turning my age to thirty I reach the island of Mindoro! I got an invitation from my cousin to attend his wedding. I travel miles away from Manila, ride in a different kinds of hauling, dealing with different people and I got the chance to gain new friends on my way going to Mindoro. I don’t even think that sometimes in my life I will reach the Island of Mindoro. Traveling alone on the place that I am not familiar is a huge challenge for me. 6th of May at around one in the morning I decided to leave the house. My foot brings me to Jam liner a bus company station going to Lipa Batanggas Pier. I travel almost two hours going to the quay in Batanggas. Then I am in hurry purchasing a ticket for a ferry boat that will depart at five in the morning. On the ferry boat going to Calapan City Mindoro, I got the chance to gain new friends. I get pleasure from the scenic views of the islands I passed by. The gorgeous island of Isla Verde with lots of beautiful resort got my attention. As I noticed there are communities who leaves in the island, I am wondering how they like living on that island. But I know it’s a peaceful place to leave but how can I survive life without Malls, without internet connections. Walang Facebook, Walang Youtube at walang Yahoo na magpagtatanungan ng mga katanungan. Funny! I passed the Island of Baco Medio as well, its smaller compare to Isla Verde and I am not sure if there’s a community who stays on that area. After two hours of enjoying the fresh and gentle wind on the sea. I reach the Calapan Pier few minutes before seven in the morning. I look for the shuttle who can take me to the town of Victoria. On my way going to my specific destination I see a lot of captivating spot in the town of Naujan and Bauan. Its seven forty five in the morning when I reach the town of my cousin’s bride the peaceful town of Victoria in Mindoro. In front of Victoria market place I deal with the “traysekel” drivers to bring me to Brgy. Malabo. Baranggay Malabo, Para sa akin hindi malabong marating ko ang lugar na ito! I reach my cousin’s bride residence in fifteen minutes. I enjoy their place, traditions, cultures and a very pleasant people. The night before the wedding is the most interesting part. There’s the unlimited food and a disco with the beautiful ladies of their village. The picture on the top is captured before the wedding ceremony outside the parish church of Victoria. Anyway, Thanks for the invitation and I wish a happy and peaceful married life to Bonbon and Rochelle! Congraaaaaaatulations!

DAY 11
10:52 Morning
Baclaran Fruit Stand
Paranaque, Manila

I woke up late in the morning and I buy an orange fruit on the Baclaran fruit stand given that I feel a little pain on my lungs. I decided to bring my camera since I don’t have enough time later to look for for my eleventh Day presentation on my 365 project. I can’t take out my camera on my little pocket because of the rain. When I reach the fruit stand, after choosing for the fresh orange fruit I’m going to buy I take out my cam and capture the fresh and beautiful arrangement of the fruits. I got only one picture for today so I don’t have any choice for what to present on my eleventh day. I just need to edit the picture magnificently in Picasa so that I can present this on my eleventh day 365 project. I can say sickness is not enough reason to quit my 365 project.

...10th day.....

DAY 10
9:44 Morning
Santa Rita of Casia Parish Church
Paranaque, Manila

I am sick today and I have nothing on my mind to post on my 365 project day 10. When I woke up in the morning, I decided to take my breakfast in the nearest Mc Donald’s to our apartment. And that is the Mc Donald’s in airport road. I am eager to present something on my project today I can’t take not to share a picture for my day 10. I still want to follow the rules of my 365 project fresh pictures or Pictures taken on the exact day. I prepare myself going to Mc Donald and bringing the most important thing on my project “my camera”! After my breakfast, I’m on my way home and I’m upset coz I’m still sick and I can’t roam around to look for my Day 10 presentation since its raining. On my way home, I passed by the old Sta. Rita Church in Bacalaran and I decided to get in the church. I offer a little prayer and after that I feel like I really need to take rest coz I really feel sick. I stand up on my kneeling position and I noticed my Cam. Then I got the Idea that I’m going to present for my Day ten is the Sta. Rita Church altar. And I got this one. I know this is not so perfect but the best thing is I have something to present today on my 365 project.

.....9th day.....

DAY 9
7:17 Morning
The Ninoy Statue
Makati, Manila

I am thinking which place in Makati I’m going to present on my Day nine. Before going home I stroll around in Ayala Avenue. Lots of beautiful spot I capture and perfect to present on my Day nine. There’s the elegant front view of Peninsula Hotel, The stylish building of Shangri-La Hotel, The tidy street of Paseo De Roxas, The wonderful place of Ayala Triangle Plaza and a lot of beautiful place in Ayala Makati. I don’t have plans of including the Historical Ninoy Statue in Paseo De Roxas because my plan for this sculpture is to present on Sunday not on weekdays. But among the pictures I got this one is perfect. So I don’t have the choice the statue cant wait on Sunday. The statue of Ninoy for my 365 project Day nine, presented this Friday.

.....8th Day....

Day 8
10:15 Morning
Shrine of Jesus Mall of Asia
Pasay, Manila

I am supposed to take my day 8 in Philippine International Convention Center. But Last night I have a guest her name is ensomia and she left home almost five in the morning. And she is the reason why I woke up late. It’s nine in the morning and I decicded to take a bath prepare my cam and ramble around Pasay. I tried to capture beautiful spots in Baclaran Church, Some of the flower shop beside the church, even the Mosque of Muslim across the Baclaran church. And while I’m roaming around, I’m checking for the pictures I got and no one satisfied me. I decided to proceed in Mall of Asia because I remember the Church near to the Mall. I don’t even know the church name. I decided to walk going to the Mall so that I have chance of capturing other on my way going to the Mall. Finally I arrive at the Church and I find out that it’s the Shrine of Jesus Church. I take a lot of pictures of the church and this is the best one to preset today. I’m not sure when I’m going to PICC for this project. Some other time…

Coastal Road
Pasay, Manila

...It’s my night off meaning no obligations or no commitments tonight! I am in hurry going home after my shift, because my destination plan for Day 7 is the Philippine International Convention Center. Last night I informed Vince that I’ll be dedicating my 365 project Day 7 to Antie Blandie, since it’s her birthday today. Vince told me that I need to check the Philippine International Convention Center coz according to him I can capture lots of beautiful places in around the place. While on the bus, I decided to take a picture of the attractive clouds. Until I capture almost twenty pictures of beautiful different views of the clouds. I decided not to go on with my plans in PICC since I already got one on my cam “the clouds”. I dedicate my 365 project Day 7 to my Antie Blandie who used to play with me when I was young. It’s her Birthday today! Happy Happy Birthday! Anyway since it’s my night off later, I’ll be in Philippine International Convention Center tomorrow.

DAY 6
7:28 Morning
Washington Sycip Park
Makati, Manila

It’s Memorial Day in the United States, I am thinking for the best place where I can get my day six picture. I ask some of my officemate for the nearest park where I can capture my Day six project. All of them suggest that the nearest park is the park beside Washington Sycip Park (where I got my day 5 picture). I keep on asking for the name of the park but no one can identify it. Wow! I’ve been working here in Makati for almost two years and I never know that there’s a lot of Parks and beautiful places near to our office. I’m glad to say that because of my 365 project I was able to visit this place. On my day six project I visit the park beside the Washington Sycip Park, and I find out that the parks name is Legazpi Active Park. I never waste my time; I take out my cam and start taking pictures of the place. The Legazpi Active Park is smaller than Washington Sycip Park. I decided to go home and when I passed by in the Washington Sycip Park, I am attracted with the parks gate it’s different to other gates I’ve seen. I take out my cam again and capture the gate of Washington Sycip Park. When I’m home, I start choosing for the best picture I got. And of all the pictures the best one I pick is still from Washington Sycip Park the gate! Better luck next time Legazpi Active Park! Probably tomorrow!

8:25 Morning
Washington Sycip Park

Makati, Manila
Since last night I don’t still have plans for my day 5 picture and on my one hour break I decided to ramble around Makati. 2:00 in the morning or past midnight, just the places near to our office, I just noticed one park in Legaspi Street. It looks like there’s something inside that it will help me on my day 5 for my 365 project. But by that time the park was closed. It just increased my excitement to see what’s inside the park that time. After my shift at 8 o’clock in the morning I went back to the park and it’s readily available, I’ve seen a lot of beautiful views inside the park. And I enjoy taking pictures of the places, as a matter of fact I have hard time to choose which one I’m going to present for my day 5. But then I pick this one for a change. Probably I might go back to the same place tomorrow since there’s a lot of best spot on that park, which I can share with you. Tomorrow again! Be updated!

Greenbelt Mall
Makati, Manila

Wow! As what I have promised yesterday, I’ll be in Greenbelt for my 365 project Day 4. So after my shift I go directly to Greenbelt for a very short picture taking of places. I roam around the place and I keep on taking pictures of beautiful surroundings that I’ve seen. It’s too early that time so there where nobody, nobody but guards! I don’t have the chance to check all the Pictures that I’ve got since I’m in hurry going home. I just check all the Pictures at home and search for the best one to present for today. And I got this one! No plans for tomorrow yet for my day 5.

Day 3
7:45 Morning
Ayala Triangle
Makati, Manila

After my shift I decided to walk around the Ayala triangle, and seeking for the best spot or beauty of nature that I can present on my 365 project day 3. For every picture I take, I don’t find it attractive or it’s not the best one for my third day. I found the best view when I accidentally look up above. Two of the tallest building in Makati the Philam building located in Paseo de Roxas and Ayala Triangle building across the Philam. It looks perfect! The two building looks like measured in heights. Just one click and there you go I have something to present on my Day 3. Even Im mad I still got the chance to look for the best view I can present on my 365 project!

.....BaDtRiP mOdE.....

After nine hours of working from night to day time. Supposed to be I can perfectly say that my first day of work after my two days off was perfect. No so much irritating calls from stupid clients, No so much work order and best of all I am exempted in taking calls coz I need to prioritized listening to the calls of Telemarketer who convinced client to try our company service. I need to learn more about telemarketing because from Customer service representative Ill be lending two hours in calling some of the clients for winback program. I am very happy on my nine hours in the office! But heres the bullshit thing.... After my shift I spend time with the TM's who takes their breakfast. We are all laughing because we shares our crazy ideas and stupid stories when one of the CSR punch out and ask me something about work in a very idiot mode, I know I done something wrong, I dont deserved to be embarrassed in front of my friends. Tao lang ako nagkakamali din! Sabi nga ni Ryan Seacrest, 'That's why pencils have erasers so that when an error is committed, correction can be made.' Pasensiya na po kayo hindi ako perpektong tao." this CSR girl is in abnormal mode and uneducated mode! Just picture out this situation "everybody is laughing and someone divert the happy mode in embarrassing mode! Try to put yourself on my shoes, dont you get mad? dont you feel upset? Dont you think she is stupid? Or you might say she just want some attention? Enough of english! My friend told me on my birthday that she admires my blog because I dont state any offensive word even I'm mad. To Anne Thank you for the compliment! but sorry to disapoint you... I want to say, Putang ina niya! sinu siya para ipahiya ako!? Di ba siya nagkakamali!? akala mo naman wala siyang nagawang mali! tang ina! puro naman palpak! putang ina nya! kulang sya sa pansin sobrang pasikat! Punyeta! dickhead!

I don’t have hard time in quitting cigarettes,
coz I have lots of candies on my office terminal.
It helps me a lot!
No more stories about my candies.
I just want to say that I have lots of candies on my station in the office
and it’s not for everybody,
Its for me only!
He he he he he!
Sabihin nyo ng swapang ako hindi talaga ako mamimigay!
kahit sandamakmak na candy ang nasa mesa ko!
Ang mamahal kasi ng candies na nabili ko!
At pag mapilit kayo bibigyan ko kayo ng clorets!

My friends, relatives and most specially my Tatay! My very own tatay! They have a very demanding request to me! This is annoying! They want me to get married at the age of twenty nine. What a fuck! How can I get married? I can’t even find a serious girlfriend or even just a girlfriend! I’m not sure if they are trying to make me laugh by their joke or they just really want me to marry someone coz I’m not getting younger anymore. Yes! You read it correctly! I’m not getting younger anymore! I’m turning twenty nine this coming Thursday 27th of May. Haaaay! Im getting older! I finally realized that its really annoying when someone ask you when your getting married and worst you don’t even have a girlfriend to tie the knot with you. Its very offensive, disgusting, insulting and nasty question for a person like me who hates love life! I never got a serious love life after MELISSA. Why I can’t move on until now!!? This is bullshit! Yeah I admit I can’t move on and worst I don’t even have news about her right now! I don’t even know where she is! I don’t even know if she is married to someone else! Ohhh! Why we talk about her? Erase! Erase! Erase! Ahhright! This would be all for now! I just feel unpleasant with the question ask to me yesterday night before going to work.

….tWeLvE dAyS…..

Wow! I can say that I am a chain smoker and I can’t leave my life without cigarettes. I consider Marlboro lights as part of my life. It’s my oxygen in sense that I breathe awkwardly without smoking in six hours. I can’t take not to smoke in six hours of my life. I feel like I’m vanishing if I won’t smoke in a day. And just this 12th of May I decided to quit smoking. I will stand with my both feet on the ground for this mission to quit smoking. It’s very hard to give up the daily routine that completes your life. Its sounds like quitting the most important relaxation of your life. And since I engaged myself in smoking I never, ever think in my entire life that I can quit smoking. It’s been twelve days after footing in my decision to quit my Marlboro lights life. Wow! As in wow! Twelve days is not easy without cigarettes lots of temptation but thank God, I have lots of candies on my bag and near to my laptop. It really helps me to pursue my mission. I only have one reason that I need to give up smoking. I always missed to attend my Sunday obligation and I am offering this sacrifice to him.
