LEO BABY:
Leos are the natural performers of the zodiac and your baby will absolutely love it from a very early age if you sing to them.
As soon as they are able they will be singing along and nothing makes a Leo baby feel as good as a round of applause when they’ve managed to work their way through their first nursery rhyme. The Leo infant can have a tendency to be over dramatic so don’t feel too concerned when they tell you the tallest tales about how far they just fell or how high they just climbed, but do be sure to look extremely impressed.
Your little one loves to be watched and to be centre stage. By the time they start school they will probably have found a little corner in the living room that is their special place from which they can try out their songs and recitals.


i'm so fuckin' bored!!!!!!

DELUSION

I just visited somebody else’s blog while doing this pre-call for the in-house test of sauces and roux (who cares?!), and I’ve read that somebody told him that blogging is just for lonely people! ( Hello!!! Read my blog!!) hehehe, but I admit, that some of my previous posts were depressing, quite true, but not all…

Blog is not just for prolific writers who can easily put their thoughts into words, unlike me, a lousy blogger crashed into the blogosphere trying to fit myself into the creative minds of bloggers. I just wanna air my side. And I want to break the delusion that blog is not just for people who can write straight English, but also for those who wanted to speak their minds. Sa wikang Ingles lang ba pwedeng magsulat??!!

FRUSTRATIONS…

I am a frustration..

From the day I was born, I already was a frustration to my parents. My family seems to be a perfect family before I was born. I have a sister, the first born child in our family. Followed by three sons, unfortunately she have to leave the world, she was taken by God’s hand and she really have to leave. That time, my parents decided to have another kid, hoping that it could be a girl. My mom got pregnant. By that time, ultrasound is out of the technology yet. So they do not know whether I am a boy or a girl. After nine months in my mom’s womb, I saw the earth, and they all got frustrated coz what they saw is a small hanging muscle between my legs. I dunno how frustrated they were that time, if there could only be means on knowing what my gender was, I could have been aborted. They even have a name prepared if I were a girl. Unfortunately, what came out is a bastard baby boy. After 6 years with my family, I got sick. I was anemic, I’ve undergone blood transfusion, bone marrow operation. I could have killed if it wasn’t discovered earlier. It might have turned to leukemia. It cost them too much for the hospitalization. I really feel guilty.

Years had passed, and I was about to graduate high school. And I really wanted to be a pharmacist or accountant. But my mom insisted to take an Engineering degree. I can’t do anything just to follow. I don’t have the right to abide on what they want. I have to follow what they want. I took an entrance examination oi this University in Baguio City. Luckily I passed. After five years, I flanked, I decided not to go to school anymore and I wanted to have a job. I failed to give them what they want. I wasn’t able to give them the Diploma that they wanted to receive unlike my three siblings. I was bum for two months. And on the net I submitted my resume online, and luckily I found a job. This is where I am right now. My first job and I have been here for two years and three months. I still haven’t decided if I would continue my degree on the same university. I really wanted to finish the degree they wanted me to take. I want to prove them that I am not a frustration; I want them to see my worth… my worth that nobody seems to notice... Not even a glance…

I was awakened by a nudge…

I noticed that my recent blog postings seem to be senseless.
Is it just the recent or all my posts were?
I am not a good writer; I hardy put my thoughts into words, grammar as well. I tried not to compare but I really can’t just stop comparing. Damn.. I feel so low.. I feel so down. Maybe I could just stop blogging for a while…

---------------oOo--------------- Shifting Sand

Sometimes I believe all the lies
So I can do the things I should despise
And every day I am swayed
By whatever is on my mind

I hear it all depends on my faith
So I'm feeling precarious
The only problem I have with these mysteries
Is they're so mysterious

And like a consumer I've been thinking
If I could just get a bit more
More than my 15 minutes of faith,
Then I'd be secure


My faith is like shifting sand
Changed by every wave
My faith is like shifting sand
So I stand on grace

I've begged you for some proof
For my Thomas eyes to see
A slithering staff, a leprous hand
And lions resting lazily

A glimpse of your back-side glory
And this soaked altar going ablaze
But you know I've seen so much
I explained it away

My faith is like shifting sand
Changed by every wave
My faith is like shifting sand
So I stand on grace

Waters rose as my doubts reigned
My sand-castle faith, it slipped away
Found myself standing on your grace
It'd been there all the time

My faith is like shifting sand
Changed by every wave
My faith is like shifting sand
So I stand on grace

FORUM

Do I really need to know everything?

“What you don’t know won’t hurt you” the most acclaimed adage by those people who wants to keep their secret a secret. But which hurts more? Do you think knowing better and finding the answers to all the questions lingering into your mind feels great? Or would you rather keep yourself wondering on what Ifs of our lives?

Post you thoughts.....

Together again…

Its been like 2 or 3 years since the last time I was with them, my college friends.
We actually met thru common friends, introduced with each other and how funny that we get along more often than those of my friends who introduced us with each other. Gimbals, cactus, Nevada square, out of towns, beaches, night outs… I’ve been with them for almost 3 years in Baguio, after the graduation, we parted ways and lived our different lives.

After 2-3 years, somebody missed me a call.. I texted her asking how is she doing, then jolted with her reply telling me that three of our friends from Baguio will come to town to visit us. I was surprised! She planned that we’ll be having an overnight this weekend, somewhere in Puerto Galera… even though I just got there last month, due to my request, we ended up in Tagaytay. Hehehe thanks for the consideration Jo. 

After Friday shift (Saturday morning), before going to galera, my bebe asked me if we could have breakfast together before I go to Tagaytay, and have a couple bottles of beer.
After then, I went home, packed my bag, and went to Tagaytay. I reached the place at around 8 o’clock, they fetch me after VIDEO-OKE fever concert. We went to our cottege, take a rest for a few minutes, threw some updates. After which, we went to Leslie’s, a cozy and nice restaurant overlooking the taal lake. We had our dinner together, heavy dinner. Hehehehe. While eating, we happened to hear the band playing at the restaurant right next to us. After we had our dinner, picture taking, picture,picture and picture… we went to Café Lupe, the resto bar right next to Leslie’s. we had bottle of beers together with the inviting groovy songs played by the band. I enjoy being with my friends after such a long time. But I think it would be much happier if my bebe was with me. ~sigh~


I missed you guys!
hope we could do this more often...

I'm Feeling You

Sometimes, I imagine the world without you
But most times, I’m just so happy that I ever found you
It’s a complicated web, that you weave inside my head
So much pleasure with such pain
Hope we always, always stay the same

I’m feelin’ the way you cross my mind
And you save me in the knick of time
I’m ridin’ the highs, I’m diggin’ the lows
‘Cause at least I feel alive
I’ve never faced so many emotional days
But my life is good
I’m feelin’ you
I’m feelin’ you

You go, and then I can finally breathe in
‘Cause baby I know, in the end you’re never leavin’
Well we’re rarely ever sane, I drive you crazy and you do the same
But your fire fills my soul
And it warms me up like no one knows

'Cause I’m feelin’ the way you cross my mind
And you save me in the knick of time
I’m ridin’ the highs, I’m diggin’ the lows
‘Cause at least I feel alive
I’ve never faced so many emotional days
But my life is good
I’m feelin’ you
I’m feelin’ you


I’m feelin’ the way you cross my mind
And you save me in the knick of time
I’m ridin’ the highs, I’m diggin’ the lows
‘Cause at least I feel alive
I’ve never faced so many emotional days
I'm feelin' you
I'm feelin' you
I'm feelin' you
Oh I'm feelin' you

Oh I’m feelin’ the way that you cross my mind
And the way that you save me in the knick of time
Oh I’m feelin’ the way when you walk on by
I feel light, I feel love, I feel butterflies
I feel butterflies

Piece Of Glass

Can’t believe that I did it again
Wake me up from this nightmare
Cause this monster is wasting my away and taking my days

Every day I live a bit less; one night leads to another
Even if I went back would they recognize me or criticize me

Who are you that lies when you stare in my face
Telling me that I’m just a trace of the person I once was
Cause I just can't tell if you're telling the truth or a lie
On you I just can't rely
After all you're just a piece of glass

Still I control this nightmare, when I call it answers
But I can't tell it when to come, or when to stay

Who are you that lies when you stare in my face
Telling me that I’m just a trace of the person I once was
Cause I just can't tell if you're telling the truth or a lie
On you I just can't rely
After all you're just a piece of glass

Don’t talk, listen
Hold me tighter
Stay with me just for a while
Until the sun shines stay with me
Just give me one more day

Who are you that lies when you stare in my face
Telling me that I’m just a trace of the person I once was
Cause we're not the same, you're just a picture of me
You’re gone as soon as I leave; you've lived my life for me
And you're no more than a piece of glass
You're no more than just a piece of glass

Sam and Tom

I was a lonely soul looking for someone who can fill the voids in my life. I wasn’t exactly in the look-out but the TV chat on cable got me curious. Could I really find someone interesting there? I took the chance. Lucky me, some people responded. I agreed to meet up with my first prospect, he seemed nice at first but I felt later on that he was just looking for someone to milk on. Then there’s this other guy. Kinda mysterious and suplado. Got me interested. We started texting, his answers were brief but interesting and friendly at the same time.

I got hooked, he sent me a MMS message with his pics. I was drawn. I wanted to meet up with him, but he said he wasn’t ready, I obliged. We exchanged IM screen names and we started chatting. We became closer to each other. I was able to force him to go for a breakfast date with me. I came to the rendezvous earlier than him. As I wait impatiently I kept asking myself, am I really going forward with this? I said, what the heck, if he turns out to be a psycho that’s fine, at least I got to experienced dating one, right?

Then he came all dressed up in a cute knitted shirt and Italian shoes. He smelled great. We had breakfast, he was so cute being conscious. He even rolled down the sleeves of his all the way to his palms. He was doing this clapping motion and repeatedly shaking his head when I ask him if he’s shy. He was charmingly embarrassed. His vulnerability was just magnetic. I felt my body gravitate towards his charisma. I was falling and falling.

I ended up taking him to my apartment. I said to myself that I can’t let him go without me kissing him that day. I was successful. I had the first taste of his lips. Locked in each other’s arms we explored each other’s mouth with our mighty tongues. I was in heaven. I discovered that he was ticklish in the waist; I went on a mission to tickle him every chance that I get. I didn’t want him to leave, but he had to. As he stepped out of my gate, I asked myself, am I just lonely or and on the brink of falling in love?

To be continued…..
