Merry Christmas everyone.


I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All i want for christmas
is you...

I don't want a lot for christmas
There is just one thing i need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stockings
There upon the fireplace
Santa Clause won't keep me happy
With a toy on christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you...
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even ask for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the north pole for Saint nick
I won't even stay awake to
hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause i just you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for christmas is you
You...

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh i don't want a lot for christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for christmas is
you

PANDANON - island getaway.

Wow. Amazing

We went to this little island last Sunday for our team building and I have to say.. the place was just amazing. Getting there was a bit drag though- an hour and a half by boat from our jump off point somewhere in Mactan Island. From what I gathered from my endless research on the internet, Pandanon Island is not part of Cebu province but under Bohol's jurisdiction. Upon reaching the island though, we totally forgot our frustrations about the travel. It was sooo worth it. We had the island to ourselves at first although later on some Korean tourists came along too, but they didnt bother us except for the time when raymond was grilling those yummy slabs of pork belly :p. Probably they cant resist the mouth-watering aroma so they keep on looking at what Raymond's cooking.

So there, getting back to my blabbers at how beautiful the place is, the island also features a quaint little chapel. Hmmm..a perfect setting for a perfect wedding. The island also boasts an endless sandbar where we had a great time taking pictures of the aqua blue waters, the pristine white sand and of course, pwede bang wala kaming pics? We really had a blast having our pictures taken especially those jump shots. Gaaaaahh. Even Chesca, Raymond and Win could not resist. I could not count how many times we had to jump and leap and then bounce and dive and then jump some more just to capture that perfect jump shot. Nadrain lagi ang battery sa cam, dah lagi. But oh boy, did we have a blast! Here are some of those perfect and not so perfect jump shots.

World AIDS Day.

Today we also celebrate World AIDS Day. And so I can at least contribute in spreading AIDS awareness and prevention, let me share some important facts about AIDS.

• AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a collection of illnesses caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), a virus that attacks the immune system.
• The first World AIDS Day was celebrated last December 1988 thus making today its 20th birthday.

• As of today 33.2 million people worldwide are HIV positive. 15 million of these are children under 15 years old.
  
• HIV cannot be passed through kissing, coughing, sneezing or spitting. Furthermore a person cannot be infected with HIV through toilet seats, swimming pools, or shared facilities or utensils.
  
• AIDS has no cure. They say that prevention is better than cure but in this case you really have no choice because there is no cure.

HIV prejudice is often the result of ignorance about how HIV is passed on and unfounded fear of becoming infected. So talking about HIV and finding out the facts can help. So spread the news, not the virus and help save lives.

December na

December 1 na. Yeeeyy. Now Christmas is really just around the corner. 24 days before the most wonderful time of the year. Well for me that is. There's just something about the month of December that makes me so...happy. In the true sense of the word :p December 1 definitely officially opens the season of giving and I cant wait to be part of it especially the giving and errr, the receiving of course.

mumbling dork.

Blogging is something I've been really addicted to lately. I know lost of bloggers have been doing this for years but Im sort of new to this thing. Yeah, I have so many blogs all over the cyberspace for a long time but I havent been able to maintain them. Just a post every month or so, really pathetic. Well, honestly I really have a hard time putting my thoughts into words. Even when Im trying to express them verbally my mouth cant keep up with my mind. I would like to think this is due to lack of confidence and not stupidity. So to cure this so called dork syndrome, I decided to be as expressive as I can be. Like speaking up in a discussion. Posting entries to my blog about whats going on with my boring life but mostly about what irritates, excites or makes me laugh. I try to be as candid as I can be,putting to words all the emotion that I feel at the moment though it may not be what Im feeling later.

And at the moment somebody is really annoying me.
Arrrgggghhh. Grabe nakakairita ang pagiging OA niya. Why do all the words that come out of that mouth have to be exaggerated?

I suppose this makes me more of a whiner than a blogger eh? :p

maudlin.

Inconsiderate or am i just too sensitive?
Maybe Im too demanding, expecting too much from people around me. Maybe its because I have such high standards that when somebody fails to meet my expectations I feel such disappointment. Maybe its because I also set the same high standards to myself. Heck im getting maudlin.

Himantayon ka ba?

Himantayon ka ba? Hahaha. Nalingaw ko, as in. Naggoogle ko para sa plans namo nila Raymond nga road trip. So adto ko google then then typed in cebu road trip, I got a lot of results and most of them are blog entries. Click lang ko ug click ug tingali isa ka blog nga ako naadtuan nakalink ning Himantayon nga website, ug nacurious ko ug mao na to. I was caught. Hook, line and sinker. Isa pa naman ko ka dakong himantayon mao ganahan kaayo ko :p

leche.

Ngano man ni?? Ingon ni Roan pag igoogle niya ang janeythedork, lain ang mogawas nga link. Pag iclick nimo porn site! Gitry nako, mao gyud! Pagsure oi, wholesome baya akong blog. Arrgghhhhh!!!!!

multiply account.

Ouch. Hahaha. Leche.Hilarious.
I know I sound like a demented girl on top of being such a dork. I was browsing and surfing the net when I came across his blog. I dont think this unlimited access to the cyberspace will go on forever so might as well grab the chance :p. So then, I was browsing through multiply when I realized he does have an account there. Trying with all my damnedest to conjure up om mind the url add(kunwari lang) I finally remembered it. He's got a new profile pic. He actually looked kinda cute on that pic though a bit different without his glasses. And he's with a very pretty girl that I can only assume is his inamorata. Eeekk, what a word. I must admit though, the girl looks very charming and sweet. The latter being Naina's opinion. Yeah she saw the pic too. I actually showed it to her. Hahaha. I find it funny that I felt kilig when I saw them. Hehehe. Good to know he has an excellent taste in women. Now i figured...

happy.happy.happy.

Weeeeehhh..

2 days nang naaccess ang mga sites na hindi dapat maaccess. Maagang pamasko? How i wish this could go on till the day I resign :p
Kaya ang mga mababait kong kaopisina,blogging galore!

Sumilon dream.

Sumilon.

Before the year ends,i want to go to Sumilon Island. It's said to be one of Cebu's best kept secrets. An island off south coast of Cebu, I first heard about it on one of the episodes of Sports Unlimited. From that first encounter, I fell in love and made a vow that I will someday bask in its beauty. Haaayy.. Ive been here in Cebu for 4 months now but I have not yet set foot in Sumilon. Its only 3 hours from the city and you would think that I can find the time even just for a day's adventure in the country's first marine sanctuary. But no, I have yet to discover its pristine beauty. I have actually planned on going there 2 months ago with some of my colleagues just for a day trip but the plan had to be shelved because of lack of time. Well I could have gone and be back the same day but I dont want to go alone. It wouldnt be the same going with friends :) So there, the year is closing and I, not sure if my Sumilon dream for 2007 would be fulfilled.

the road home

Just saw a very touching film.


Thanks to roan nakakita ko ug movie nga the road home starring zhang ziyi ug partner niya kay kanawong ni wilford nga officemate namo. hahaha. touching kaayo ang movie. nakahilak ko pero pasimple lang kay maulaw ko kay maam :p. at the end of it, i even told roan that it really pays if you fight for what you want-- sa klarong istorya - fight for your love! Hehehe. Ask si maam unsa kuno ako plano. Hmmm.. we'll see. Bitaw, sa pagsure gyud, timing ra gyud kaayo to pagtan-aw nako sa movie. Sa mga sulod sa akong utok karong mga panahona, kinahanglan lang gyud nako ug pahinumdum nga okay lang kab-uton ang imong mga pangandoy misan pang sa tan-aw nimo lisod o imposibleng mahitabo. matud pa kay roan, mag raise kuno mi ug go-out-and-see-the-world-fund. It would be a start..

La Bruja de Portobello

Finally.. weekend. And weekends mean its time off from work. I was so looking forward to this time off so I can finish reading The Witch of Portobello. The first Paulo Coehlo title I read up to the end. the plot was refreshing to me since most of the books I read are more of romance genre :p (What can I say, Im a hopeless romantic) A compelling book about a woman born of gypsy origins. Her story unfolds through the personal accounts of the those who knew her. A journey of the woman who tries to find the answers and appease her restlessness, I would definitely recommend this as a must-read.

one of those days.

It's one of those days. Woke up at the wrong side of the bed. Minor household problem. Not in the mood to go to work. Aggghhh!! Im tired of what I'm doing. It seems to me, there is no fundamental reason why Im doing this and why Im here. Its one of those days that you reflect and really think of what it is that you really want. Until now I am still contemplating... I hope I'll have the answer soon.

halloween hoopla

Oohh yeah Roan, we're scared :p

ella.ella.

Cant seem to get this song out of my head. Damn LSS.

Because..
When the sun shines
We’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath I'mma stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we still have each other
You can stand under my Umbrella
You can stand under my Umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

kilig.

Aaaaacccckkkkk!!!!

For the longest time, I haven't felt this kilig, swear!

Crush nako siya. ^___^

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeepp!

amazing.

Wow!
Connie Talbot is just amazing. How I wish I could sing like her!

all was well.

July 21, 2007.

Millions of people all over the globe have been waiting for this day. I, personally have been looking forward to it since it is the date that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released, the 7th and final book of the Harry Potter series of J.K Rowling. 

Days before the release, I knew that a National Book Store branch here in Cebu will be opening at 7am to accomodate readers who want to be among the firsts to know the fate of Harry. So immediately after shift I dashed to NBS Mango Square to grab a copy. I was expecting that a queue since I heard it was the case in NBS Glorietta, Powerbooks Greenbelt and most of the bookstores in Manila. To my surprise and relief, there were only a few people inside the bookstore. I did not have to wait in line to pay for the book. I was a bit disappointed though that I wasnt their first customer to buy one. Hehehe. I found about they when they asked me sign their logbook where they keep track of the first few who grabbed a copy. I think I was only the 50th? 

Anyhow, I was so excited to read the book and could hardly wait to know how it ends. Yet, I was also anxious to finish it. I realized that reading this last book would be like saying goodbye to Harry Potter and the rest of the wizarding world. I guess I wasn't so ready to say goodbye yet. I cried buckets when I finally closed the book. But I realized, I can always go back to that magical world anytime I want. I just have to open those books! So there, all was well.

Malipayong pag-abot sa Dakbayan sa Sugbu.

Finally, I am here in the Queen city of the South! But heck, what am I doing here?

homecoming.

Yaaaaaay, happiness!

Makauli na gyud ko! After almost 7 months here in Manila, I'll be flying home on May 11 aboard Phillipine Airlines flight 817. I'll be home for my 11 days vacation leave. Can hardly wait for that day, but before that, I still have a million things to do. Like shopping for everybody's pasalubong, paying the bills, meeting my cousin, and right, I remember I still have to confirm things with workforce for my leave. Gaaah. But that's alright. So long as I can go home on my scheduled departure I dont have any complaints. Yaaayy, that's 11 days from now. Take me back in your arms, Davao!

Oh, I get to practice my right to suffrage. Yeah!
