I was at the mall yesterday with my office-mate. We were in the cellphone store. I'm not really a cellphone addict but this phone really caught my attention. It's not blackberry but it looks like because of its qwerty keyboard. It's the NOKIA C3 phone. It has an entry level phone that is primarily intended as a messaging and social networking handset. It runs the s40 mobile operating system and features a customizable home screen where you can display Facebook and Twitter feeds, and manage your email, calendar, instant messaging, and music utilizing dedicated widgets. The Nokia C3 has a QWERTY keyboard just like the Nokia E72 and E63.  It can connect to the Internet via 2G or WiFi and can access Ovi services and store where users can download and install additional apps. The phone has 55 MB internal memory but you can load it up with up to 8 GB of storage via external memory. 

This phone cost around Php 7,000.00 here in the Philippines.

Heartbreak is not always as loud as a bomb exploding, sometimes it can be as quiet as a feather falling and the most painful is no one really hears it except the one who faces it.

Yes! Love really hurts; sometimes it can make a person HAPPY, SAD, and even CRAZY.

I, myself, had been in this situation. For those girls (and even boys) who are BROKEN HEARTED, don’t worry guys and gals, being broken does not mean it’s the end of your WORLD.

They said that when a DOOR CLOSES, the WINDOW OPENS. Look around. There is always a new one if the other leaves.  Maybe your TRUE LOVE is looking you for you to. Take note that being a heartbroken is just a trial to make you strong enough to FACE LIFE ahead of you.

Why cry over spilled milk, when you can have one again?

What I mean is when someone leaves you don’t be sad (as if you’re not gonna love anymore because you really love that person and you thought that you’ll gonna end up each other together).

As I was saying, TRUE LOVE can wait. GOD prepared something special for each of us. GOD will either give what we ask or something better for what we are asking.

Now, it’s time to kiss away those tears goodbye. If you want to be HAPPY…all you need to do is just let go of the things that makes you SAD.

This is a TRUE story. 

Lhianne is browsing her boyfriend's page in Facebook. She already knew that her BF do have may ex-girlfriends. One of them is Andrea, she knew that her boyfriend and Andrea had a three-year relationship.

One message appeared in his Bf's mailbox. The email was from Andrea. Without hesitation she opened it.

Hindi na nagreply si Lhianne sa last message ni Andrea. 

 She found herself crying. Asking herself why Jeff did it to her.

 

Why is it that there are people who are stupid, hypocrite and worst idiots?!

 Lunch time. Our boss called up in the office to have lunch with our new French investor in one Chinese Restaurant here in our Place.

Our boss told me to order lunch because they already have their orders when we arrived at the place. My two other office-mates, who are the Marketing Officers (Lumen and Gracia) of the company, sat in front of my boss and the French investor.

My other office-mate, who is our purchaser (Cora), sat besides the wife of the investor, and me don't have any choice, sat beside the French investor. 

The two marketers ordered already.

My boss told me to order."Jerih, nakapagorder na kau?"

I replied,"di pa sir."

"So order na kayo.", sabi niya.

The waitress came over to have our order taken.

Tinanong ko ang kasama kong purchaser kung ano nag order niya. Sabi niya ako ang bahala. Dahil alam kong hindi siya masyadong kumakainng mga Chinese foods, nagorder ako ng Crispy Fried Chicken at Beef in Terriyaki Sauce at two plain rice for both of us.

Orders are served already at ang inorder namin ay inilagay sa harap namin ni Cora.

Nabigla ako ng kinuha ni Lumen ang inorder namin na Crispy Fried Chicken. Akala ko kukuha lang siya dahil hindi pa kumukuha si Cora. Mayamaya, kinuha niya rin ang natirang ulam sa harap namin...so nothing left in our table. 

Cora looked at me sabay bulong, "I don't like the beef."

"Gusto mo ng chicken? ", I asked her and she nodded.

So I told Lumen. "Nang, pakiabot ng chicken." Nabigla ako nang kumuha siya ng tinidor and kumuha ng maliit na part ng manok saka binigay kay Cora without thinking na may tao sa pagitan nilang dalawa and worst is yong asawa pa ng investor namin na kumakain that moment! Napa OMG ako sa sarili ko. Where are her manners? To think back, kami ang nag-order noon! Dapat nasa harap namin yon at hindi sa harap nila dahil may kanya kanyang orders kami. Naawa ako kay Cora dahil hindi siya nakakain mabuti.

Kung iisipin pinagorder kami ng boss namin para sa lunch namin. Tama ba naman na kunin niya lahat ng ulam namin? Eto pa ha, humirit pa, nag-order ulit ng isang pagkain yong asawa ng investor aand put it again in our table. Second time around kinuha niya ulit ang pagkain.

So, what else can you say to this manners? Is it appropriate to her profession? Marketing Officer pa naman. 

If your a Marketing Officer you should know how to deal with people right? In this scene, we were the one deal with the Marketing Officer. OMG!

It's a sleepy afternoon in the office so I took my N6300 phone and click!...took pictures... edited on Picnik. Here some of my pictures.. =)

It's been my dream since I was small that my family would be RICH. Yes! Gusto ko maging mayaman so that I can buy things anytime I want. My family's status is in the middle of MIDDLE CLASS and LOW CLASS society of our country. Well, sino nga bang bata ang gusto maging mahirap?

When I went schooling, I dreamed to be an Engineer someday. I always wanted to be a part of a constructing team. Building houses and buildings. Naisip ko noon, masasabi ko sa mga kaibigan at kakilala ko na isa ako sa gumawa ng building na yan. Beside that, of course, an Engineer pay offs well. Malaki ang sahod.

Hindi masama mangarap at maghangad.

Dati rin, nong bumisita ako sa bahay ng Auntie ko, nakita ko yong bagong bili na camera ng pinsan ko. I said to my self, I wish I had one too, so that I can take photos like my cousin. I want to capture life through my photos. Gusto ko ipakita kung ano ang mundo. Ang totoong mundo. Makulay, masaya, malungkot, may buhay. I want to treasure every moment of my life.

When I went to college, I took up Engineering, hindi Civil Engineering dahil wala sa eskwelahan na pinasukan ko. I can't choose my school also kasi nga mahirap kami. I went to college because I have a scholarship grant. Still, I took up Engineering majoring on computers. I thought I can still build houses and buildings through this kasi hi-tech na ngayon. 
Pero nanlumo ako nang napagdesisyunan ng mama ko na kailangan kung magshift ng course. She said she can't afford the Engineering course kahit na scholar pa ako ng school. Mabigat pa rin sa bulsa. I don't have any choice then. I shifted. I took up Commerce course on my second year. 

I graduated last year and now, I'm a bookkeeper in an Organic Company. Hindi man ako naging Engineer ngayon o naging photographer still I'm happy. I can still be a photographer naiisip ko. My wish to have a camera will come true soon. Makakabili na ako ngayon dahil may trabaho na ako, but still, I have to prioritize some important things. Hindi pa naman kami mayaman ngayon dahil hindi pa kami lahat natapos ng pag-aaral. And still, I never stop dreaming and wishing that my siblings would finish their studies coz its the only way we can reach our dream....to be RICH.

Hindi masama mangarap at maghangad. Dapat alam lang natin kung ano talaga ang makapagpasaya sa atin. It may be material things or not. =) 

Happy reading fellas!

TRUST. PAGTITIWALA.
Why is it that aside from LOVE, TRUST is very important in a relationship? Why?
As what an old song says,"ang pag-ibig ay sadyang ganyan, tiwala sa isa't isa'y kailangan.
What if...you trusted that you loved so much pero ang pagtitiwalang ibinigay mo sa kanya ay nasira? Magagawa mo pa bang magtiwala sa kanya?
How can you love the person na hindi buo ang pagtitiwala na binigay mo? PAGMAMAHAL pa rin ba yon?
These are the questions running on my head.

On my part, YES. I loved the person wholeheartedly but I don't give my 100% trust on him. Why? Because I trusted him and broke my trust to him. Actually, nagtaga kami but we always argued on ONE thing....it's TRUST.
We can't deny the fact that, us girls, that jealousy runs on our veins. Kahit i-deny mo pa na hindi ka nagseselos, but deep inside your heart you are!

The only thing I could wish is that we will last.

I was watching the "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"  and I was inspired to make this blog about my Best friend.

April Grace. That's my besties name. We met 5 years ago. I was one year older to her and she called me Manang in our language.
April and I are opposites. Very.

April is a happy-go-lucky girl. I thought sometimes if she do care about her problems. She still manage to joke around though she had problems.
I admit that my best friend is beautiful. Meron siyang laging bagong boyfriend while me has a zero love life.
Although sometimes, nagkaroon ako ng sama ng loob sa kanya nang itago niya sa akin na buntis siya. I thought, I've not been a good friend. Sa iba ko pa nalaman. Ang sabi niya, natakot daw siyang sumbatan ko siya. I know, I treat April as my young sister coz I have sisters also. I always tell her, Pril, kung susubukan mong pasukin yang sex na yan, just don't forget, iwasan mong mabuntis. Nag-aaral ka pa. Mahirap pang nabuntis ka. Oo, mahal ka nga nya, pero hindi pa siguro time for that matters. You still have many dreams, right? Naiyak ako ng malaman ko ang nangyari sa kanya. Nagkulang ba ako sa pagremind sa best friend ko? 
I was thankful because of what our Head told me. She said: "Lyn, it's not that nagkulang ka. It's her decision and willingness why she got pregnant. Yes, you just guide her. But, di mo hawak ang pag-iisip ng kaibigan mo. Just always remember, just walk beside her. Be there when she needs you. Para wala siyang maiisumbat sayo. Ang mahalaga tanggap mo siya bilang kaibigan niya. In that time, I realized na hindi ako nagkulang. 
Nine months after, she gave birth and naging ninang ako sa anak niya.

Nasubok ng maraming beses ang pagkakaibigan namin. Dumaan ang maraming lalaki sa buhay niya. Nakadalawangpung boyfriend na siya at ako wala parin. Still, ako andun lang, takbuhan niya tuwing kailangan niya ng payo, kasama, at minsan pera. =) but still, we remain best of Friends.
I graduated college at hangang sa nagkatrabaho na ko ung friendship namin hindi parin kumukupas. We may not seeing each other, minsan lang kami nagtetext dahil busy rin pero deep in our hearts, our friendship don't fade.

LOVE. This four letter word ha a very deep and wide meaning. What really LOVE is?

Some say it's mysterious, magical, complex, difficult, imaginary, thought-provoking, inspirational,joyous, immeasurable, ecstasy, and undefinable. Perhaps.  

A video of Sarene Cas says that Love is like a traffic light which has three colors to guide for us to know when to STOP, let GO, and take ACTIONS.

For me, LOVE is everything in this world. God made humans because he love this world. We are born because of love. Though sometimes this word is abuse. People destroy and people suffer.  

 It is unconditional. Loving someone so much doesn't mean that they are the right one for us. No. At all love story ends like a fairy tale with a happy ending. If it's TRUE LOVE, it will never end. Take note, don't forget to love yourself.
You can't give love if you don't love your self. Magtira ka para sa sarili mo because sometimes you will feel pain because of that love. We can't deny the fact that there are people who are idiots. There are people na hindi talaga marunong magpahalaga sa mga taong nagbibigay ng pagmamahal sa kanila. If you're just the one loving so much and your partner doesn't, he's not the RIGHT ONE for you. Better find another person who would really loves you truly. If you're afraid what will happen to you if you lose that someone in your life...relax... and ask your self if that someone deserves your love? is he afraid also to loose you? Then decide. Let go. Move on. Love is all around.  Never say never. Don't dare close your heart just because you experienced pain. "Nagmahal lang tayo. Natutong magparaya, at nasaktan." There are people waiting for you, for us who had been broken once. They are the people who would pick us up and fix us. But, kailangan din natin mag-ingat perhaps. Not all people who would help and fix us are the person who would love us. Maybe, they are just friends. No more no less. Kunmbaga, hinay hinay lang tayo. Tumingin tingin lang muna sa paligid. Sometimes love is not blind, it is us, lovers, are blind. =)

True love is not how you forgive, but how you forget, not what you see but what you feel, not how you listen but how you understand, and not how you let go but how you hold on. Mostly, love knows how to sacrifice and it's unconditional.
