Tadhana

Sa hindi inaaasahang
Pagtatagpo ng mga mundo
May minsan lang na nagdugtong,
Damang dama na ang ugong nito
'Di pa ba sapat ang sakit at lahat
Na hinding hindi ko ipararanas sayo
Ibinubunyag ka ng iyong mata
Sumisigaw ng pag-sinta

Ba't di pa patulan
Ang pagsuyong nagkulang
Tayong umaasang
Hilaga't kanluran
Ikaw ang hantungan
At bilang kanlungan mo
Ako ang sasagip saýo

Saan nga ba patungo,
Nakayapak at nahihiwagaan
Ang bagyo ng tadhana ay
Dinadala ako sa init ng bisig mo
Ba't 'di pa sabihin
Ang hindi mo maamin
Ipa-uubaya na lang ba 'to sa hangin
huwag mong ikatakot
Ang bulong ng damdamin mo
Naririto ako at nakikinig saýo
Hooohh... hoooohh...
Hooohh... hoooohh...
Hooohh... hoooohh...

Lalalala...

Sudden Urge to Blog

I just had to write this down...

I'm sad and happy at the same time...

Readers:

Don't try to figure it out, just had to post this for my memory....

Feeling Blah

Sometimes I enjoy being single... Sometimes I don't... 
Today, I don't...

I really want to watch the game but since my friends are busy or not interested, I can't... Believe me, I contemplated to watch alone... On second thought, what fun would that be? It would be better to watch in the comfort of my own room...

If I wasn't single, I would have someone to 'drag' to watch with me... 

New Year, New Life?

Okay, it's 2015...

So what?! 

Let me see, what happened in 2014…

I guess, it’s just the same old stuff… I keep wishing for things to change… 

Maybe as they say, you got to put the work for things to change…

Here’s to no promises for 2015 but instead I’m ready for 2015 to surprise me! 

Looking Back

2013 was not a very good year...
Let me try and think of things that happened to counter this...

• Realization that a lot of peoples loves me & my family
• Family
• Friendship
• First trip to Coron
• Trip to Bangkok

It's kinda hard to think when all I can think of when I remember 2013 is that it took my dad away from me... 

Goodbye 2013!!! 

2014 please be good to me do not take away anyone I love...

Going With the Flow

Another year is coming to a close. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Some may say that just going with the flow is the best thing to do. Some are right to say that but what if going with the flow becomes boring? What if going with the flow does not make me happy anymore? What am I doing with my life? 

Two of my friends got married this year, yeah!!! 2 of them freaking got married already, I guess if I blink I'll just wake up one day and all of them are married. 

My friends are going up the ladder, doing what they love to do. A little tired but still happy to do their jobs. Do I have the courage to pack up and leave? Do I have enough motivation to be strong and brave the challenges 2013 has for me?

Thinking Out Loud

Maybe it’s all the 90’s music I heard today… Maybe it’s because of the series I watch… Maybe it’s just me thinking out loud… I feel old… I feel that time is slowly slipping by…I feel left behind… My friends and family have great careers, great love lives, great lives in general… Don’t get me wrong, I’m okay with my life… There are just moments I feel sad…

Happy Heart's Day

Just felt like blogging tonight...

Now that I'm thinking what to write, I don't have anything to write... haha ;)

Anyway, I saw this in Twitter... It's true... ;)

"Ang Valentines parang gutom lang. Lumilipas din."

Annual Kada Getaway

We had our annual kada get together last week. Actually it was a getaway of some sort because for the first time we went out of town for it ;) We (actually Mhina) tried to make this happen last December by starting to organize it as early as October but alas, everyone already had a booked December calendar.

I am just so happy to see these girls again. We only see each other once a year & we are almost never complete ;( Shoutout to MK & Marjo!!!!

January 7 started early. Meeting place was at Starbucks 6750 and meeting time was 8:00 – 8:30 am.  I thought about it and said to myself, I know my friends I’m sure they won’t be on time haha ;) The early bird in me won & I arrived at 8: 30 and found Mhina & EJ there already. I expected EJ to be there but Mhina?! Cool! Next was Girlie, then Edz… We put our stuff in Techie & Jan2 car so we wouldn’t have to bring it with us on the shuttle. Where was Vida you may ask? As expected, she would meet us at EK already… hehe ;) 

Who said we went to EK for the rides would be laughing at us coz we took more pictures to last a whole year! Maybe compensating for not seeing each other as often? All in all we only got to ride, the following rides: Up, up & Away, Flying Fiesta, Rio Grande Rapids & the Wheel of Fate! So much for making the most of an amusement park! Hehe ;) Well, the fireworks made up for it & the priceless faces of my friends while on the wheel of fate… (They would remain nameless!) hehe ;) 

After the EK pictorial we went home & started with the gift giving & whole lot of laughter & kwentos… You guessed it…. More pictures!!!! hahaha ;) 

This was a memorable overnight because for the first time, we all gave up early… Tired from all the poses & walking. I love my friends, I really hope we continue this tradition until we grow old & gray. Although I would prefer to have more meet ups during the year not just during the holiday season. Here’s to more years of friendship! ;)

(If you are wondering why I mentioned a whole lot of pictures but did not post any, it’s because EJ & Jan2 were the official photographers of the kada using their trusty DSLRs J )
