I heeded His words, and in the two boxes
Both my joys and my sorrows I stored.
But though the gold got heavier each day
The black was as light as before.

With curiosity, I opened the black
I wanted to find out why
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole
Which my sorrows had fallen out by.

I showed the hole to God, and mused aloud
"I wonder where my sorrows could be?"
He smiled a gentle smile at me
"My child, they're all right here with Me."

I asked, "God, why give me these boxes,
The gold and the black with the hole?"
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
And the black is for you to let go."

1. blocked ang most sites sa office e - and most i MEAN most (tabulas for one, friendster, multiply, bolgspot, youtube.. pati photobucket! mga pang ubos oras hehe) im sure kung pwede yun, hindi na ako nagtrabaho na shempre joke lang, eto naman hindi na mabiro. kakailanganin kong mag switch ng port para maka pag surf ng mga iyon [na kakailanganing tumawag ng tulong sa may password, long story hehe] pero okay lang, sabi nga ni tim gunn, "carry on!'
   
2. nakakatamad na magbukas ng pc pag uwi ng bahay - e tapos may topak pa yata siya kase, ewan, hehe. kulang ang mga installation chorva. i miss my pre-reformated pc minus the spywares hehe.

cibo at gateway sounds good! yummy! sisihin ang food network through lifestyle network sa pagkahilig ko sa italian food! well, liezel introduced me to chinese food, [love ko rin yun] and my last few months of college with my friends made me appreciate japanese food. filipino food, araw-araw na yan so that's a staple, pero italian siguro has got to be at the top of the list! [again, sisihin ang lifestyle network]...

+++

ang pinakamahirap sigurong gawin pagkakain sa isang kainan ay mamili sa menu, lalo pa kung mahirap i-pronounce! typical aa, pagtapos naming mamili ng kakainin [which took us a loooong time] tinuro na lang sa menu kung ano yung kakainin hehe. okay lang yun, konti lang naman yung tao e saka magbabayad naman kame!! we ordered pizza, pasta and panini. what the exact names of these dishes are, i forgot e hehe. basta alam ko masarap lahat! i finally got the chance to taste prosciutto, mario batali would've been proud.. 

+++

pero beyond the delicious experience, masaya na nagkita kami, yihee. kahit tatlo lang kame, kase conflicting yung schedules, okay lang. bonding moment pa rin. catching up at promises na pagbalik ni mami [bumalik ka ha!] ay tiyak na sabay naming tutuklasin ang iba pang mga pagkain. hmm.. next year pa yun..

+++

pictures? meron. kelan ko ipo post? ewan. basta nakapila ang mga unposted pictures. at isang araw, balang araw, mai a-aplowd ko rin sila hehehe...

yesterday, my second family-in-law-to-be dropped by (i think "went up" would be a better term) our house for the pamamanhikan. now let me expound that sentence. it's the "second" because this would be the second wedding in the family. the first being my brother's last may. and no, it's not my turn to get married [atleast not yet hehe], it's celski's, my older sister. she will be married this march. now if you count those months up... sukob! turns out my family does not believe in those things hehe, and i didn't watch that movie anyway. the food was great: baked mac and buttered hipon [a staple in both pamamanhikans], chicken pastel, cake, buko salad and ice cream. yummy!ü pictures were taken, and of course "the talk": plans, detaills and what-not. surprise, surprise! im gonna be a bridesmaid. no motif yet, but i get the chance to yet again design my own dress!

+++

i got [re] extended from work till december. whopee. that means ill have money come christmas time. hehe [yun lang?] hhmm.. it's just that i don't have any plans yet, "i'll cross the bridge when i get there" na lang *wink wink*. but i do know that i need to learn something new, or atleast deepen my knowledge on something that i do know. and maybe i should ditch that "im still young" attitude no? kase maybe before i know it, 39 na pala ako and im still nowhere [yikes! wag naman...] more than anything, id really, really, really like to try programming, for fulfillment purposes. if i did make it, happen to love it, edi masaya. pero kung hindi, well atleast masasabi ko na "i tried", hopefully with my best.

+++

ah, gusto kong gumawa ng list of "to-dos". hindi chores ha, yung tipong listahan ng dapat kong ma-accomplish sa buhay na ito... and places to go to pala, kahit domestic muna. naku, pera ito! sama ka?

+++ 

i found the dress! yipee!  alam mo yung project runway? well, season 2 na nung monday, and i saw this dress na parang gusto kong gayahin for my "bridesmaid" couture hehe. ive been searching for this since last week, and unfortunately found out who won in the process :(. well not exactly like it, pero medyo, [labo nun a].

+++

kelangan ko palang ayusin yung multiply ko, pero shempre hindi pa ngayon. dahil una sa lahat, hindi kakayanin ng powers ko at pangalawa, hindi kakayanin ng powers ng connection na ito. now about that dsl...

+++

oh my eyes are getting tired, and i know na kung hindi ko pa ito ipahinga ay pagbabayaran ko ito mamaya, pag gising ko.. kaya sa iyo, na nagtyagang magbasa ng post na ito [decent ba?], magandang umaga an ika nga ni heidi klum, "auf wiedersehen" [seryoso kala ko ofsy daisy, parang "of you go" na nag evolve]...

daddy...?

busoooggggg akoooooo. . .

happy bday kay alice at rachel!

yun lang.ü

o siguro nangyari/narinig ko yun for a reason no? yung mga 'accidents' hindi naman talaga accidents.  tama, siguro ganun na nga yun.

some things i should have learned long ago that was not taught inside the classroom. o baka parang project lang yan, matutunan mo pag anjan na.

let's just start the coming week with a clean slate.

dahil dito.

(ako si 933!)

congratulations kay: ruth, jennie, jocelyn, mami, cel, krystel, teptep, sia, at sayo, kung andun yung pangalan mo.ü)
