			<title>This Blog</title>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>This blog was a failed attempt to be anonymous. I was too excited and didnt realize that I was uploading too muych picture of me.</p>
<p>This blog was my sole companion through depression. I may not have everything that I want and need in life but at least I am no longer alone. I no longer have reasons to be too sad anjd whine.</p>
<p>This blog will be remembered, will be visited from time to time, so I can keep myself reminded of who I was and how far have I become.</p>
<p>Thank you to the lessons learned. I have become stronger, resilient and wiser.</p>
<p>I will no longer be blogging from tabulas. Good bye my tabby.</p>]]></description>

It is a sad place without the person you love most. I am starting to miss his kisses. ]]></description>

			<title>My Pillar</title>
			<description><![CDATA[He is numb. He doesn't <em>seem</em> to care. He doesn't bother asking how my day is. When I am sad, he doesn't text me smileys and qoutes that says how life is great. When I am mad, my inquiries are never answered and all he gives me is silence.<br />
<br />
Despite of all that he is not, I know he loves me. I have no intention of changing what we are and what we were. I look forward beyond dreams, and hope that our future is better than our past. <br />
<br />
To my pillar, you have no idea how happy I am that we are still together. I wish that I can tell the whole world how much I love you; and if I have, you know for a fact that no word gives justice to what I feel for you. <br />
<br />

			<title>Reality as it bites</title>
			<description><![CDATA[I have got to stop spending. <br />
<br />
Every payday, I have this overwhelming urge to spend all my two weeks earning on greasy-arteries-clogging-yet-so-wickedly-delicious sweets. It does not really help if you are with the company of equally healthy, meaning abundant, eaters who have the same passion for food. As a result, here I am dragging my big fat ass and my tummy as an obvious indication of my pay slip. <br />
<br />
On top of that, I really have no idea on how to spend my earnings wisely. After getting one gadget, here I am eyeing another, and worse it’s expensive.  It’s like beating a world record every single time. <br />
<br />
I remember my younger brother told me about an article he read on investing one’s earnings. It talked about acquiring objects that would eventually be a source of income. He said that while I am young and have the ability to earn a decent living, I should start investing on some sort of business. If my investment will end up in futility, at least I still have the capability to earn. Granted that my business will succeed, I can start saving for my future.<br />
<br />
Makes sense. <br />
<br />
So, here I am, knowing that in the next few weeks, the 13th month bonus and other allowance being given, temptation is stronger. I have to think twice before even spending a dime. <br />
<br />

			<title>Phone Review</title>
			<description><![CDATA[It took me three weeks to fully accept P990i as I synchronize it with my day to day events. Well, not that I have my hands full or anything, but as an average person, I don’t really have the needs that it promises to fulfill. It took me a while to find it really useful but when you get the hang of it, you just wouldn’t get enough actually. <br />
<br />
Equipped with a 2 megapixel camera, it produces great pictures. The screen shows a crisp detail of every angle and lighting condition and with auto focus you can never go wrong. I feel that this defines the concept of point and shoot. Cool thing about the auto focus, it produces a sound as soon as the camera is ready to shoot. It has front camera that takes care of Video conferencing of which me and my beau are very fond of. <br />
<br />
With its own file manager, P990i is a powerful organizer. It comes with a Acrobat Reader and Quick Office that would basically take care of all your important document and office presentation. I bet this will find its purpose as soon as I go back to school. <br />
<br />
Impressively, the screen defines colors at its best. The brightness can be adjusted to one’s preference. Draw back about the screen is that whenever on its Flip Closed mode, the icons are sort of jagged on its edges. I believe that this has something to do with the sudden change of screen size. Also, in outdoor lighting condition, you would have a very hard time seeing what’s on the screen. <br />
<br />
The screen also responds to the tap almost instantly. Although there are occasions that the icons would hang before executing a command, a quick restart of the phone often does the job. <br />
<br />
I like the idea of having everything in one device. You bring your files with you and review them or even edit them before you send it through e-mail. Neat thing about it is that you have myriad options for your connectivity needs. It comes with Wifi to help you connect to hotspots anywhere around the metro and if any wireless lan is not present, you have GPRS or 3G to take care of your internet connection. <br />
<br />
The P990i is a powerful device. Sad part about it though is that there are no programs being developed to enhance its usage. Oh, and yes, it does restart a lot. Heck, it is still one powerful phone.<br />

			<title>First Blog</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Location: Robinson Pioneer.<br />
<br />
this will be the first blog that i'll be posting with my P990i. Believe me I am having so much fun. Although I have to admit I am having a hard time keying in words since the qwerty keyboard is sports minute keys and somehow it feels cramped. <br />
<br />
My P990i is still an amazing phone. I'll be posting my review on my next post.<br />
<br />
Just to give you a glimpse of my lovelfie. I am actually here in Cybergate Mall (robs pioneer) because I am waiting for my baby to finish his application in Accenture. He's about to sign his contract in a few minutes. I am really happy that he decided to transfer here because finally we'll be together in one company.  ]]></description>

			<title>Starting Over</title>
			<description><![CDATA[So much for working hard and chasing your dreams. Here I am typing the numbness I feel. My head is as murky as mud. I know somewhere within the walls of my brain an inner voice is waiting to scream.<br />
<br />
I am ready to move on to another great company. I am leaving Convergys and all the painful memories it has inflicted. With me, a bag of hopes, dreams,  and  all the lessons learned.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I feel tired of starting over. Sometimes I just want to fast forward to the end of my story just to get a glimpse of how I will turn out. That will be such a spoiler, though. Geez, I never really thought that this tapestry was part of God's humor. <br />
<br />
I am sorry that I am not in the position to expound every thing as of yet. But to give you a background of what I am goin through, I am leaving Convergys and the opportunity to become a Team Leader. Something that I have worked hard for and here I am, starting over.<br />
<br />

			<title>Your Favorite Blogs</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Quick post before I start breezing through my friends' tabbies. Hehehe.<br />
<br />
For the past few weeks, I keep myself awake during wee hours of the morning to manage my sleeping routine. I am almost always asleep from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and durinng weekends, I sleep until 12 a.m. <br />
<br />
So most of my days off from work are spent browsing through my friends blogs since I dont have anybody to talk to or any place to spend time on. I actually find myself envious of their lives but heck, I know everybody wants to tell how good their lives are and I am having fun reading them.<br />
<br />
I guess this post does not have a clear direction. Neither does anything as of the moment.  Hell, I am a zombie. The only thing that keeps me concious right is coffee. <br />
<br />
Well, off to reading again. <br />
<br />
Oh, to anyone who will read this post, please make sure drop a line or two and include your favorite blogs so I can read through them.]]></description>
