baguio trip!

in the works... :D

just a smile...

I wanna tell you everything, easily
Won't you come up closer
I want to, hear you breathe
I'm walking down the street
I'm lost at sea
But out of the crowd you smile
And you're all I see

You make me feel like I,
Can get lost inside your eyes
I feel closer to the sky
When you save the day
With just a smile
Just a smile

I wanna meet you someday soon
Cause I know you in my mind
Everything will be different
When I have you right beside
You can take the whole wide world
With your boyish charm
But even as you pull me close
I want to stay in your arms

You make me feel like I,
Can get lost inside your eyes
I feel closer to the sky
When you save the day
With just a smile

When I look for you in everyone
I thought I'd search the world in vain
Now you look at me
And the search is done
We will never be the same
Not the same.

You make me feel like I
Can get lost inside your eyes
I feel closer to the sky
When you save the day
With just a smile
Oh you make me feel like I
Can get lost inside your eyes
I feel closer to the sky
When you save the day
With just a smile
Just a smile, a smile
Just a smile...

rain rain go away come again another day little children want to play...
just a smile... a smile... oh i can't forget the smile. that smile... :D

"mukha na ba akong gutom??" hehe! nahiya naman daw ako so pinauna ko na sila hehe.. after eating a very satisfying dinner (hehe!) barbie blew her cake's candles with martin in her side. haayy.. such a perfect couple talaga.. i was really kilig when they hugged tightly after blowing the candle. :)
and then after that cake eating na! haha! i loved the chocolate cake! sarap! hehe! after that "barbie the magician" striked again haha! she showed us a new magic trick na nman! and as usual.. palpak at first. haha! she's so cute talaga when she do magic tricks hehehe.. after that we went inside the house na. and there i met "banana"!! ohh i love her! hehhe! she's is so cute yet so big! hehhe! so malambing i could take her home! hehe.. oops kaagaw ko lang pala si alto (mr. tanchanco's son) hehe! he loves banana too! after a few hours i think we bid goodbye na to the birthday girl who seems to look younger and younger hehe.. that night i got my LSS (last song syndrome) from her. while we're on our way outside she was beside me singing.. "i wanna make you smile whenever you're sad. carry you around when your arthritis is bad. all i wanna do is grow old with you.." aww.. sweet.. for martin ang song of course. not for me ahehe! ang cute nya lang while she was singin it. i didn't recognized the song at first kasi. maybe she was doin her version hehe! i only got it when she sang the part "grow old with you.." and then i asked her what she's singin. ayun.. we left na.. headed home. had a great party. ehem.. dinner. haha! i will ask nga what catering is that. sarap talaga kasi eh haha! surely barbie's birthday is the happiest coz she's celebrating it with martin :) yihee.. :D again.. happy birthday barbie! more blessings for you this year! you and martin! luvyah! :)

Barbra's bday is getting near na and we have so many stuffs to accomplish pa. first and foremost my gift for her. i need to finish it na! need to polish the website na! kainis lang i'm having thoughts of new design for it but it's okay. i can make it on it's version 2 naman or for her forum pala! yeah! dun nalang hehe! then we have to finalize the concept of our mini film for her before we start shooting video of her friends. we have to come up of something cool & funny! para fit sa kanya hehe.. think think think... then we have to contact and schedule the shoot of those people pa! then i have to contact other listers pa to inform about the lister's gift naman for her. it's a collage of bday greetings - wishes. i have to do it pa before her bday. coz i'm planning to give it at her RX meet & greet on the midnight of 25th. hhaayy.. i'm not busy. hehe.. then one more thing added pa! this project at the office! and that will surely put so much pressure in us. the thing i hate.. "pressure"! i don't like it. aargh.. this project just got my mind out of focus again :( i was decided na to really take a new step. and i'm taking the opportunities outside na. until this meeting came. (in case someone will read this - friends & officemates, it's true..) now i'm not sure again what's the right thing to do.. parang i can't leave with this situation. one thing for sure, i'll start all over again.. i'll start praying for it again. ask advices from my spiritual family. and ask God what should i do...

on the other hand... i'm excited na with our "Batangas Trip"! yehey! excited na with our version of "Amazing Race"! the fun and surprises! and our very first gig! (me & kriscia) yeah! so cool! :D "today is the greatest day.." hehe! we pray that everything will work out fine. and everyone will be there!

greatest day!

i see dark clouds in the sky
seems like it's gonna rain
i'm frightened inside.. i'm frightened inside.. i'm frightened inside..

until you came along
do you come for me to paint me
a rainbow.. a rainbow.. a rainbow..

ever since the day you came you broke the spell
ever since the day you set me free...

today is the greatest day
whatever should come my way
today is the greatest day in history

as impulsive as i may seem to
still you see through me
you change my moods.. you change my moods.. you change my moods..

ever since the day you came you broke the spell
ever since the day you set me free...

today is the greatest day
whatever should come my way
today is the greatest day in history

grander than the day before
grander than the day before...

-everytime i hear and sing this song it always reminds me of the greatest day of my life... the day He set me free.. my victory.. :)

Victory!

exactly one month ago i was in Bellevue Hotel with Kristel. having fun. yeah great fun! it's our Victory Weekend! it's the day of our Victory! actually we have no idea what's goin' to happen and that's what made us more excited! we spent our first day at the Victory Center with discussions. lessons that really hit me hard. we were a little late then and goodness.. we just arrived but they made us cry agad huhu.. hehe! the feeling was really heavy. i really feel bad for myself. we were just getting started but there's already something in me that wants to come out! something that i felt was gonna burst out! during the discussions all my sins flashed back in my mind. i felt really down. really weak. but God was there. right there with us. He comforted us. He made us rest in His arms. God was there.. right from the start...

lessons ended. it's time to check-in at the hotel. we're in room 1908. this time, the activity is more exciting! and i'm nervous. so nervous i can't eat! hehe.. pero nakapag-pictorial hehe! it's our one on one counseling with our Spiritual Leader. with our Spiritual Mom. it really made me nervous! i was tensed! i was funny. hehe.. when Barbie came i was a little relieved. she told her funny experience in the elevator pa. hehehe! and thank God our roommate's leader came first so they went first hehe! we just waited, seated, chatting at the corridor but someone came and told us it's not allowed to stay there. hmph! so we went at the lobby to find a place but it's full with the other girls waiting for their turn. it was also the first time we (including Barbie) saw her Sunsilk commercial and full video with Kitchie. it just happened that the person who had it was there too. we had fun viewing it! haha! the "super kaway" hehe! panalo talaga hehe! afterwards, we went at the 2nd floor to look for a place and there! we found a perfect one hehe.. we just hanged-out there with Martin. my nervous then disappeared. we were having fun kasi. but still somehow praying it'll take long pa before we start hehe!

until the time has come for us. goodness! here's my nervous again! waaahhh!!! we were alone in our room na. and i can't hand her my booklet! haha! Barbie told me not to be shy that it's just okay. that she went through it too. but i can't help it eh! hehe.. so she gave me a few minutes pa to relax hehe! funny siguro ng itsura ko nun. i can't imagine. hehe.. and so.. relaxing is done. and still i'm not relaxed. hehe.. but we started na. i can't escape na! this is it! hehe! as the counseling went on. i was being releived little by little.. the feelings that wants to come out during the discussions at the Center came out little by little. the heavy feeling is starting to lighten. there's just this one part i kinda suffered letting go. it was really hard. i feel really down with it. but Barbie's doin everything to help me let go of it na. until i cried over it. i blurted it out thru tears.. the feelin was really heavy inside. i can't control it. i can't forgive myself. i felt really guilty. but God and Barbie comforted me. they let me rest in their arms. it took a long time but it was great! after that the feelin was so great! i feel so clean i feel so new! i feel so refreshed! and above all.. i'm free! i've already been freed from the prison of my sins. that was a night i won't forget for the rest of my life. the night that changed me.

2nd day.. baptism of the Holy Spirit and Water Baptism na! we had great fun during the Water Baptism. lamig ng tubig sa pool! hehe! it was really enjoy! hehe.. after all the activities. i really feel so new. the feeling was really great talaga. i can't explain it! i really felt the spiritual freedom.

exactly one month ago june16-17,2006 was the most important day of my Christian life. it's the day of my deliverance.

thank you Barbie for helping and guiding me. thank you that you prayed for me to be saved. you're a blessing! you're my angel! :)
and thank you Lord for saving me. thank you Lord for loving me first! i am your forever princess... let's have a life-long walk :) i love you!

"magddrive ako hanggang baguio.. magddrive ako hanggang bicol.. magddrive ako hanggang tagaytay.." hehe! we were just sound trippin' on our way. while chatting & laughing & everything! when we arrived at tagaytay around 3am, we stopped at 7-eleven to buy some food and drinks.

God's really great! you can feel Him while watching how the light covered the land little by little.. at around 530am we decided to go na. coz some of us are going to work pa while others have other plans pa. hehe! (tatag namen..) on our way home.. bagsak ang lahat except for me and kristel hehe! what do i mean with "bagsak" eh.. it's our secret na. they might kill me if i tell you hehe! i won't forget this trip. i just hope and pray next time no one will shout..

a night to remember

last night was a great night! lots of fun and surprises at maxB! it was a very exciting moment when we presented our surprise to barbie na makulit coz she's peeking when we asked her to close her eyes first. so i covered her eyes with my other hand but still kulit she wants to get rid of it hehe.. she was surprised with our gift hehe! and named them joshua & maria caleb :) by the way, they were birds hehe.. and their original names were barbie & martin hehe! when martin came we did it once again but this time it's martin naman who's makulit and peeking! hehe.. we're happy they liked our little present. and we're all very happy for them :)



after the surprise and pictorials hehe.. we gave a hand to ate yvette & jehan with their invitations for their exhibit next month! we're even helping them to promote it. which i will be doing next hehe.. i also wish someday to be a part of Spectrum na din hehe!

after the fun night when i got home and went to bed, a thought just came out from my mind. with everything that's happening around me, it's like God is setting everything in place. one by one. it's like everything's waiting for my move nalang. i once asked Him for signs now this is what He's giving me. lots of signs! one after another.. and then another.. i think i really have to think about it so hard na. i gotta have faith! He's laying His plans na right in front of me! sweet talaga ni God hehe.. He really knows what my heart desires. and i'm starting to believe that He's agree with it! hmm.. i think i have to set a date with Him and talk about it :)

feelin soo great!

i feel so great after my quiet time today! so great! i don't know why.. maybe i got great prayers? hehe.. hmm i prayed for someone pala today. hmm.. but i'm glad i can feel i'm on fire! i still feel so fresh and free after our Victory Weekend! ang sarap ng feeling grabeh heheheh... hmm.. or maybe kasi it's friday na that's why i'm feelin great?? di kaya? hehe! i'm excited for tomorrow. we're goin out of town for a gig! it's our first time to go out of town hehe.. it's not that far naman. but at least it's outside manila hehe..

last night i watched "The Prince & Me". it's been a while na pala since i watched a love story movie hehe.. it's cute. like a fairy tale come true. finding your prince. while i was watching it, i kinda felt something. it's like i miss having an other half. but then i realized i just got carried away lang pala hehe.. after watching the movie i've checked my "drawer of memories" hehe! and sent some of them in trash. dami pala kalat dun hehe.. this morning i had a nice chat (text) with a friend. (oh which reminded me we're not yet finish! haha!) i told her about my view on relationships with the opposite sex, before and now. and what's more important to me now. after that i'm sure, last night i just got carried away hehe! because i'm so much happy and contented with the gift of singleness i have now. for this is my opportunity to strengthen my relationship with God and serve Him. right now all i wanna do is please Him!

hmm... now i know why i feel so happy!!! ;)

project for me and a vision

currently i'm working on a website for a friend. a very good friend.. :) i'm enjoying it and i'm excited for the finished product! i've been a software developer for 2 yrs., 1 mo., and 18 days but i haven't done anything like this hehe.. it's my first time and i'm trying my best. because that person is not just an ordinary person. (oh goodluck to me... i hope she'll like this..) i'm also doin this cause she didn't took it seriously when i said i'd like to do something like this for her. so here's my proof hehe! (kala mo ha hehe..) i just hope by the time i'll be showing her my "project", just a smile will be ok hehe.. i'm giving myself a one month deadline for this. i just started last june20. and i have to study on graphics pa! waaahhh!! goodluck! thanks friends for the help you'll be giving me! ;)

but i don't know why i'm having this vision and thinking... fairly few months.. or year from now.. i don't see myself still stucked in a cubicle in front of a computer the whole day, the whole week writing codes not everybody understands. that vision just got blurred.. i want to be free from this cube! i wanna get out from the office! i really wanted something new for me. i believe i got my calling na. i'm seeing it clearly now where i really wanna be. what i really wanna do. with friends to support.. oh i think i just need a go signal from Him... i'll just patiently wait for that day... :)

oh i can't wait! hehe! now i miss my guitar more... :)

my first!

i still can't believe i've created a blog! haha!
well anyway just wanted to experience something new. or maybe i'm not that busy lang talaga so i got the chance to do something like this! my first blog would be non-sense since i'm just trying & figuring out how this stuff works hehe.. i'm into internet for years na but i haven't really tried doin this blog thingy. but what the heck... let's give it a try! ;)
