from Ate Mimi's post..

One day, I hopped into a taxi and took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly, a black car, jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed the brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I mean, was r...eally friendly. So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!" This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck'

He explained, "Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. NEVER take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on with the routine life." Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so...... 'Love the people who treat you right.. Pray for the ones who don't.'

A very rightly said quote: Life is 10% what you make and 90% how you take it

Happy Sabbath!

I love this video of Maam Vicky during the 1st Davao Choral Workshop...

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is darkness, light.

Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;

to be understood, as to understand;

to be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen.

I think i gonna be crazyT_T...but i have to be strong...

Busy Day...

I found this old photo of mine in my Tumblr stash...hehe...so happy to see this...^_^

Ang Mga Babae

1. Moody: Inborn na sa mga babae to. Kung badtrip kami, wag niyo nang sasabayan.

2. Pag sinabi naming nagtatampo kami, lambing lang katapat: Yung salitang tampo way lang namin yun para sabihing lambingin niyo kami. Konting I love you niyo lang, okay na kami.

3. Gusto namin yung palagi kaming kino-compliment: Pag may bago sa itsura namin, gusto naming mapansin niyo. Kasi nakakataas ng self-confidence namin yun.

4. Pag napansin niyong naging sersyoso yung mga text namin, may mali: Kapag ganun, may nagawa kayong di namin nagustuhan. Kaya be alert. Kapag sinabe naming wala, meron talaga. Nahihiya lang kami. Kaya pilitin niyo kaming sabihin sa inyo. At pagtapos naming masabi, konting lambing lang. Back to normal na ulit.

5. Selosa kami: Kaya iwasan niyong makipag harutan sa ibang girls. Lalo na sa harapan namin. Pero may ibang babae na tahimik lang kung mag-selos. Inoobserabahan lang kayo. Pero kapag napuno, simula na ng away.

6. Kaming mga babae, normal lang ang ma-attract sa mga gwapo: Hanggang tingin lang kami. Kasi hindi naman na namin makikita ulit. Ma-attract man kami sa 1M lalaki, ang puso namin ay para lang sa tunay naming mahal. Ganun din naman kayong mga lalaki. Kapag nakakita ng maganda at sexy. Magaling lang kayong magtago.

7. Kaming mga babae, pinagmamalaki namin yung mga mahal namin ng hindi nila nalalaman: Katulad nalang sa mga GM (Group Message), Facebook at TUMBLR.

8. Ayaw namin sa mga manliligaw na nagmamadali: Yung tipo ng mga lalaking laging nagtatanong kung kailan ba namin sila sasagutin. Naiirita kami. Kaya dapat maging matiyaga kayo kasi dun namin nalalaman kung sino talaga kayo.

9. Kapag malungkot o tahimik kami, gusto namin ng yakap galing sa inyo: Kasi iba yung pakiramdam kapag hawak niyo na kami. Gumagaan yung pakiramdam namin. :">

10. Gustong gusto namin yung mga lalaking malaki ang respeto samin: Yung tipong pag ayaw namin magpa-kiss, hindi niyo gagawin. Instead, lalambingin ka na lang sa ibang paraan. Ang pinaka gusto naming kiss, kiss on the forehead. It symbolizes, respect.

11. Ang nagpapa-turn on samin ay yung lalaking protective: Yung kapag kasama namin kayo, feeling namin safe na safe kami. Walang mangyayaring masama at hindi kami ilalagay sa panganib.

12. Ayaw namin sa lalaking hanggang text lang: Kung mahal niyo talaga kami, patunayan niyo sa personal. Wag yung sa text lang kayo magaling. Magpaka-lalaki kayo!

13. Sobra kaming natutuwa sa mga lalaking ma-effort: Yung kahit walang special day, feel mo eh special ang araw araw niyo. Kasi sobrang nakakatuwa kapag ang lalaki laging nagpuput in ng effort. Feeling naming babae eh, isa kaming prinsesa.

14. Ang pangarap naming mga babae yung ipapakilala kami ng mga lalaki sa kanilang mga barkada at lalo na sakanilang pamilya: Feeling namin kami na yung pinaka maswerteng babae sa mundo. Kasi iilan lang ang lalaking naglalakas loob ipakilala kami sa parents at barkada nila. Yung iba kasi nahihiya. At feeling din nmin angkin na angkin na namin ang isang lalaki dahil nakilala na namin ang mga taong bumubuo sa buhay niya. :)

15. Magaling kaming mag-pretend: Kapag nasasaktan kami, nagpapaka-manhind kami. Kapag may nakitang di maganda, nagbubulagbulagan kami. Kapag may narinig na mali, nagbibingibingihan kami. Pero kapag mag-isa nalang kami, dun kami naglalabas ng sakit. Dun kami umiiyak. Kaya ang pangarap naming lalaki is yung sensitive enough sa mga nararamdaman namin. Yung kayang magtanong hanggang sa umamin kami.

On This Blessed Day

Going back on the things i did this week, I could just count the times I called on Him. I spent too much time on trying to figure out things like how to make them work, how to solve complications and how to entangle the tangled thoughts in my mind. But I forgot that there's only One who could help me in fixing everything. And I thank Him for giving me this day to remember Him and every good things He brought me. His will be done as always. I might be having decisions in this lifetime but it's His plan that prevails. Have A Blessed Day!!

What it means when i'm TRIMMING MY NAILS

Life is really beautiful. You meet people, you do things that make you happy, you go to lots of places. You make plans. You have lots of choices. But as you enjoy all these things, you tend to forget the boundaries. You tend to lose focus. You do your best in your work, you are nice to your friends, you are happy while you are reaching your dreams. But you tend to overdo them. And as a result, you realize one thing, you don't understand what's happening anymore. You did you best pero may kulang at ang kulang na yun ay hindi mo ma-figure-out kung ano yun.
Yan din ang nangyayari sa akin ngayon. Hindi ko maintindihan. Ewan ko bah.. :-(

Last night, I had a deep thinking after talking to my mom. After hours of thinking and muni-muni, I realized few things:

• I forgot the purpose why I'm doing the things I do these days.
• I'm falling for someone. ??? But I don't know if choosing him is the right thing to do.
• I'm still bombarded with bad memories kaya hindi nakakamove-on. Sabi nga ni Kring2, rational thinking daw dapat. Iwasang gamitin ang frontal lobe. Hahay...ewan ko bah...
• Naguluhan na talaga ako sa mga gimik ko. As a result, i'm back to trimming my nails. Trimming my nails means giving myself a rehabilitation. Sounds weird, right? haha...Well, I don't know something else that would help me more effectively. As a counselor, I have to organize my thoughts. Nobody can help me with this but I alone. Thanks to my friends, I was able to keep my composure somehow.

Well, I guess this is going to be a long vacation. Followers?? Thanks for reading. Watch out for my articles...hehe...I made two stories for Doug, 1 poem for Liza and 2 poems for Xangy. 

P.S. For comments, violent reactions ^_^ and suggestions, PM me at Facebook (look for my facebook badge at the upper right side of the blog), or email me: jayohwhy082791@hotmail.com 

Self-Rehab??? What's that???

Things are going so strange nowadays. It seems I lose focus. And now, my good old blog is here to comfort me as what it always does. Since my mind is cluttered, I decided to undergo self-rehabilitation again. This is just for my own good so I won't be bothered with so much pressure and so I can go on with my normal routine. Ijust listed the advantages and disadvantages when i'm doing the self-rehab:

Disadvantages:

• I'd be loading my phone for just once a week- which means loose communication with everyone.
• I'd be online for once a week - it means I'd have to update my blogs when it's already time to.
• Have to tighten my budget even in spending for my food.
• No TV. Read more books.
• Go home early. No more GIMIK!! -it means I'd have to stay at home as often as i could. I'd be missing some events.

Advantages:

• Tipid...Hahaha...I can save my money
• I can write more articles.
• I will finish reading my books.
• I can give more time thinking on how to rearrange my thoughts.
• I'd be seeking for God's guidance more so that every single thing would be according to His will.
• I can give myself a chance to forget everything in the past, move on and change for the better.
• I'd be able to set my priorities and make better decisions.

I don't want to fall for you...

The Last Week of June

This last week of June 2011 has been one of the most tragic weeks in the lives of many Davaoeños. Sunod-sunod ang mga pangyayari:

• On Monday, June 27, may nagsalpukang sasakyan. One truck lost its brake habang pababa ng Shrine Hills, Matina palabas ng Highway fronting the Matina Gallera. Eh tamang-tama Traffic Lights turned Green that says vehicles are moving which included other vehicles sa aksidente like taxi and multicab. Many died in that accident.
• On Wednesday, June 28, an almost 7-feet flash flood hit Davao which took 31 lives. Many families lost their houses that resides near the Pangi River. Bangkal and Matina were also struck by the deadly flood. Fellow Davaoeños/Filipinos showed their love to the victims by giving relief goods and some other donations. Mayor Sara and Vice Mayor Rodrigo Duterte reinforced by participating the rescue operation riding the rubber boats with the coast guard, army and other local government units. But the story doesn't end there. There is always a rainbow after the rain. Here are some photos of the disaster. (Courtesy of Roland Jumawan and Joemar Lamata)

What's up?

I already have a job. I am back to being a tutor in a tutorial and review center. I am not that good in teaching but i love kids though. But today, the kids don't have class and i'm into messing up with the internet. I've been watching more videos...
Now Playing>>>>

The next video is my favorite. Even if i watched it a hundred times already, i still love the song... So sweet...

As many times as i blink i think of you tonight....

Have a good day. Got to sleep now.

Thoughts...Thoughts...Thoughts...

Hiya blogspot! I've had a relaxing day with my sisters and niece. And now I'm back to drop some stuffs the usual way. One thing I realize whenever I open my blog is, my thoughts are always scattered. I just don't know why. But today it's getting better. I will just have to list some of the things that keep my mind busy so that somehow I could tidy things up:

• I need to get a job- Staying at home is not a good thing for me. I'm not that typical girl-next-door who loves to bake or cook or do household chores. I need to earn. I want to make the whole semester useful. I want to get busy. That's it.
• I miss school- look how cluttered my mind is. I need to get a job but i miss school...Simply because I am use to being a busy person, running errands, etc. When i was at school, I was not really the ordinary school girl who maintains grades. I was the extracurricular-stuffs-addict. I had Southern Ambassadors- a singing group just like Glee Club; I had Peer Counselors Society- i was a peer counselor then; I had Junior People Management Association of the Philippines- a society of junior managers but in our chapter we ended up being foodies :-). I miss assisting people and office-hopping. But the real thing is, I miss the stuffs I use to learn at school than in the real world. Real world challenges are much harder. So I choose to learn little things at school. :-(

• I'll be an aunt again. It's either another niece or a nephew. No one knows what but I'm sure it would be another blessing for my family.
• My high school classmates have been looking for me. Haha!! I miss them already but i still need some things to get straighten up before going out with them.
• I'm excited about the year's activities with the group I'm holding now- Toril Lightbearers Club wherein talents are developed and used for God's service.

• I'm singing for Chera May's Wedding this July so I'm listening to the song they want me to sing.

After thinking about all these, I hope I would have a nice weekend...weee...I've been thinking too much about everything...Good night everyone!!!

Scattered

My thoughts are scattered today. Sometimes it goes back to the days that all I care about are my toys, my best friend was my mother and the only man in my life was my dad. And I realize as i get older, things are getting more complicated. I think i have to regain composure after everything that happened to me. And each time I lose hope, i am glad to find the answer that it all happened for a reason. Now i understand that He might be giving a heavier burden to bear that is why He's making me endure these things now. I admit that some of these happen because I want it to.... tsk...tsk... I don't know what to write anymore... Till next time... bub-bye...

Joy on Letting Go

Memories. They are the most unchangeable things when almost everything changed. Persons, relationships, and feelings change. And they undoubtedly hurt people who have loved so much.

Like a sword, fire is the change that melts an individual's life, molding it into a new refined piece. We don't have to fight the changes. We just have to face and accept them. Holding on to memories is the best way to overcome them.

Love comes, love goes and so does each person in your life. You can not keep them as long as you want for they would eventually leave if they intended to. Hard as it may seem, you need to let go. You need to give them space to find their selves. You need to let them be even when it's hurting you because that's the real essence of love, watching them leave though it gives you pain. When someone is truly destined for you, he/she would come back after he/she has seen the worst and the best faces of the world. That person would come back and lie in your arms knowing they found the real home in you.

Love is just a cycle of finding, keeping, hurting, letting go, growing,moving and finding love again. It is also synonymous with life. And as long as you know how to deal with it, you'll absolutely find ways to be happy. Despite everything you've gone through, you will choose to be happy even when there's no hope in finding it, you will know how to, because you dealt with life, you dealt with pain. And you felt them until it hurts no more. You don't have to be sad all the way. You just have to understand, deal with it, and let it be. And you always have to remember that it is still best to let go, move on, and grow. For when something/someone is really meant for you, he/she would come to you willingly without making the person do so.

So just live life, let go, move on, and.....grow.
