it's crying time again...

i don't know why everytime i listen to this song i get so emotional...
too bad i only have this copy (yeah, that's me singing... apologies if i'm messing up the song ).... if you have gary v's version will you please, please send it to me? and oh! if you have the "lift up your hands" can you send that to me too? that's also one of my favorite church songs..... makes me cry too everytime i hear it.....

anyway, yes, i need Him more than ever.... i always need Him.... i'm nothing without Him.... He's my true north..... he's my compass my GPS ...... i'll be so lost and confused and all those things without Him...... sometimes it just amazes me that inspite of all the not so good things that i have been doing.... after being stubborn and all He's still there, i can still feel His presence.... i don't know how to explain it.... but i just can feel that He's always there for me...... sometimes He would give me the things that i need without even asking for it yet...... sorry for being melodramatic again..... i'm not the alleluiah-amen-praise-the-lord type.... i can't even give you a verse in the bible but right now i just feel like writing about Him....

thank you God.... please never leave my side.....


(if this doesn't work and you still want to hear it inspite of the warning it's here ...look for Lead me Lord)

now for the lyrics:

LEAD ME LORD

Lead me Lord, lead me by the hand
And make me face the rising sun
Comfort me through all the thing
That life may bring
There's no other hope
That I can lean upon
Lead me Lord Lead me all my life

Walk by me, walk by me across
The lonely road that I may face
Take my arms and let your hadn
Show me the way
Show the way to live inside your heart
All my days, all my life

Refrain: You are my light
You're the lamb upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light I (just) cannot live alone
Let me stay
By Your guiding love
All through my life
Lead me Lord
Lead me Lord Even though at times
I'd rather go alone my way
Help me take the right direction
Take Your road Lead me Lord
And never leave my side
All my days
All my life
You are my light
You're the lamb upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light I (just) cannot live alone
Let me stay By Your guiding love
All through my life
All through my days Lead me, O Lord Lead me Lord

adventure aquarium...

my friend and i went to camden, nj to see the adventure aquarium yesterday (oct 27)..... a few of my friends told me that i'm better off seeing baltimore's aquarium but I still want to see camden so i would know the difference.... entrance fee is $22 if you want to see the 4D movie otherwise it's just $20.... the 4D movie isn't worth it though, especially if you have been to universal studios, but if you have kids with you they would enjoy it.... what is my verdict? hmmm....well, it's bigger than singapore's ocean adventure and they have more sea creatures but camden's doesn't have a conveyor thing like that of singapore.... actually camden's isn't really bad.... i actually like it....now i can't wait to see baltimore's aquarium.....

for more pix click me...

put a lil spice in your life...

i try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.

that's what my metallic bookmark says. yes, i had the same reaction like you just had, the reason why i bought it. i bought it at barne's and noble located infront of rittenhouse square while i was waiting for my friend.

don't you sometimes feel the same way? here you are carefully plotting you're next move. trying to live your life as simple as possible. no complications. uncluttered. attacking each issues, each heartaches, each problems one day at a time and then suddenly, boom, it feels like some cosmic energy knocked you out and you feel like a bad juggler who just lost his concentration and now balls are hitting you on the face all at the same time. you make blunders. you get distracted. but the important thing is you pull yourself up again. inhale. exhale. then you start juggling again.

you start attacking each issues, each heartaches, each problems in your life one day at a time--again. who cares if you lose your concentration--again and if each balls smacks you on the head--again. one needs a little spice in their life once in a while.

p.s.
it's 7:14pm.... i'm still in the office researching about naked broomrape, bastard toad-flax, lesser dirty socks and crouching locoweed (they are flowers, ok?) to wile away the hours until it's 9:30pm.... they need me here atleast until 10:00pm and gawd knows what time i can go home........ yeah, the life of a programmer..... fun fun fun *roll eyes*

do you want the truth?

one of my sis at SFC visited me last night at my apartment for a one on one.... it was a good feeling to have someone (and a pinay at that) to talk about what's been going on with my life.... she made me feel so comfortable that i just started telling her some of the things that i wouldn't normally just tell anyone.... that's me.... if i'm not comfortable with you i won't open up.... i might tell you bits and pieces about myself but not the whole thing....

when i was younger i was a very reserved person.... i still think i am.... and i still find it difficult to trust someone and open up..... i might talk about some of "those things" but i choose what i share...... so most likely what i told you is not yet the complete story...... don't get me wrong it's not that i don't trust you it's just that i'm still in the process of accepting it and once i have accepted it that's when i'll start talking about them .....there are still lots of drama going on in my life and most of them are of my own doing..... that sometimes if i could just kick my butt i would because--

*sigh*

the thing is, i'm stubborn, always curious...carpe diem, that's how i live my life to the point that sometimes i don't pause to think if it would be good for me and that's how i get into trouble sometimes.... whatever comes to my mind and if i think i have the courage to do it i'll just do it even if at the back of my head i know the consequence might not be good..... and what if it did turned out bad? well, i'll cry, yes, then i'll shrug, eat some chocolates and then i move on... i'm not afraid to make mistakes..... and i try not to regret the decisions i made...... after all that's what's life is all about, trial and error, like math... but don't worry i learn from my mistakes.... i am stubborn but not stupid....

i'm not really sure where this blog is going but maybe it's just my way of opening up.... of making you understand me.... i am complicated.... i'm aware of that.... but i can be like water, changing shapes to adjust to whatever, wherever, whenever..... so yes, i can get along with just about anyone......i easily get bored.... what i want now may not be the same thing that i want 30 minutes ago.... i might like hanging out with you now but it might be different tomorrow and i might not tell you why.... i love spontaneity, i'm impulsive and that also means i change my mind a lot....

i can be nice and sweet and thoughtful, i don't get jealous easily (that's for insecure people)..... but i peel off easily when i see something in that person that i find threatening or when that person becomes too clingy...... i'm a free spirit, remember? i want my freedom! and yes, i flee if i sense that you would hurt me..... when i get mad at you, you won't hear me say anything but i will send you a letter and then you won't see me again.... i can't promise you tomorrow, i can't promise you a future but i can promise you the "now".... i am a "now" person....

again, i am complicated...don't try to analyze me or to change me... just go with the flow.... and we'll be ok.....

trying so hard...

not to get sick....

yep, trying so hard not to get sick...... i haven't been feeling well since sunday afternoon..... maybe it's the weather..... lately, the weather here is crazy....... one day it's hot the next day it would be cold and the next day it would be raining....... and oh! leaves are turning red/yellow/orange..... i just love looking at them.... i need a camera!!!!!! darn.

anyway....

been taking theraflu and some cold medicines and have been drinking lots and lots of water (which results in going to the loo every 30 min, sheesh!)..... but so far so good-- i think.... i'm still getting headaches from time to time and i still sneeze and blow my nose a lot and have been experiencing some minor muscle pains..... i just hope this won't turn into a full blown flu....... this is so not a good time to skip work because my project will be in production this friday and i need to support it.....

on other news...

i had let go of the diversion..... yey! well, yeah, it was hard because it's like an addiction that you can't just give up but i know that's the right thing to do..... because no matter how i turn the situation upside-down the diversion really is doing more harm than good..... i have to do it sooner or later anyway, it's inevitable, so i might as well do it sooner..... so there, hasta la vista.......

i guess that's just it........ that's what's been happening in my little world.....

p.s.
still waiting for that freaking #@!!@#!&% !!! geez... i shouldn't have retain them..... i should have followed my officemate's suggestion.....

*inhale-exhale*

shame on me!

a friend of mine and i were driving along this street in center city, philly where you can see all the flags of the world lined up and hanging on lamp posts..... i asked him where his country's flag is so he pointed it to me...... i asked him what those colors stand for so he explained it to me..... then he threw the questions back to me and i was caught a little off guard........ i should have seen that coming... lol..... it was embarassing because i wasn't able to answer right away .... but in my defense i was able to explain what the red and blue stands for (red is above the blue one during war time and vice versa during peace time) and what those 3 stars symbolize (luzon, visayas, mindanao)......

then he asked me when our independence day is and i proudly answered "june 12!"..... hah! i do listen to my philippine history teachers you know, hahaha.... and then he asked, what year? oh boy..... why does he has to do that? hahahaha...... anyway, so i was like, "uhmm.... i.... i... don't know? please don't ask me about philippine history, i think i was probably sleeping in class when my teacher discussed that..." and he started laughing......

jeez......

here i am telling everyone and bragging that i love my country........... that we have the most beautiful country (what with all the beaches and mountains and nice friendly people who wouldn't love the philippines!) and here i am not even knowing what the sun in my flag symbolizes....... i'm an embarassment to my country, hehe....

so i did my research.....

the sun represents the dawning of a new era of self determination that was desired in 1897 (when the flag was first designed) after the Spanish-American war and the US promise of independence, which was granted in 1946

the 8 rays on the sun stand for the 8 provinces that rose in revolt against Spanish rule in the late 19th century. (Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Manila, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, and Tarlac)

the 3 stars stand for the 3 principal geographic areas of the country, Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao.

the red stripe represents courage and bravery and the blue stripe is for noble ideals.

the white triangle stands for the Katipunan, a revolutionary organization that led the revolt against Spain and the color white represents peace and purity.

this flag is unique in that in peacetime, the blue stripe is uppermost but during wartime, the red stripe is on top.


and oh! aguinaldo declared the independence of the Philippines on June 12, 1898...... thank you google!

my real name is dagny..dagny taggart

hahaha... i wish!

anyway.....

i just heard from the grapevine that ayn rand's atlas shrugged is being brought to the silver screen (in 2008)..... wow! as in wow! i am sooo excited!

atlas shrugged is my favorite book and if you could see how my eyes turned big like a saucer after i have read this you could have sworn i have lost my mind, lol.... i remember forcing J to read the book and when finally he was able to finish it i was telling him that i'm wishing that they would make a movie out of it and i've been casting the characters in my head just in case some twisted fate had brought some insane producer at my doorstep and asked my opinion about who would make a good actor/actress for atlas shrugged's characters, lol.... but right now they just have angelina jolie and rumor has it that they are going to have brad pitt as john galt.... jeez, i hope that's not true..... it's like mr and mrs smith part two.... but anyway, here's my personal list:

Dagny Taggart:  Angelina Jolie or Keira Knightley
John Galt:  Hugh Jackman/Christian Bale
Hank Rearden:  Daniel Craig/George Clooney
Francisco d'Anconia: Antonio Banderas/Hugh Jackman
Ragnar Danneskjold:  Collin Farrel

i am just worried that this might not be a success unless they are thinking of having sequels.... i just can't imagine how they would be able to squeeze in all the important parts of the book in a 2-hour movie.... it would be a shame if they cut something out.....

but nonetheless, i can't wait to see the movie!

on ikea, ideas and something else in between....

have you ever find yourself in a situation that feels so good and that you just don't want it to end but there's this nagging feeling trying to tell you to stay away from whatever that is because you're not worthy? because staying would just inflict pain to that "source" and you just don't have the heart to cause any grief and the best thing to do is to maintain your distance?

problem is..... i don't want to be distant but i don't want to get that close either.....

i told you i'm complicated......

on another note.....

went to ikea yesterday....thanks to my good friend who never gets tired of driving me around :).....

so we went there to look for a sofa, a real bed and some other stuff...... i found my perfect sofa, i found my perfect bed, i found a nice ceiling light for the dining table, a stand lamp for the living room, i found cute mirrors that i could put in my room and other parts of the apartment to create an illusion of space, some nice table-slash-cabinet..... hmmm....whatelse? oh yeah, found some nice textiles, some cute vases and some ideas on how to decorate and to add accent to my "hopefully" new place......

wait!

nope, didn't buy any of those....... i was just window shopping and just decorating my new apartment in my mind..... well, yeah, i "might" move..... "might" as the operative word......... it would all depend on the outcome of that thing i am anxiously waiting....... but nothing is final yet but i'm bombarding the heaven with prayers........ for all i know i might just suddenly find myself on a plane to minnesota....... so we'll see........ but i do hope it won't be minny...... i'm really starting to love it here in philly and i would LOVE to stay here.......

actually i can see myself in just 3 places this december...... stay here in phillly, move to minny (minnesota) or go back to new jersey (please, gawd, no!)..... will you pray for me? i really want to stay here.....

then you stand...

You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you’ll be alright
You’ll be alright

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you’ve had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand,

Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on

Decide you’ve had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand,
Yeah then you stand.

Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place

- stand by rascal flatts

yes.... i'm getting up..... i'm standing up..... and you know what else? i realized.... i realized...

*sigh*

i realized that i've been stupid for letting go of that apple .... and right now i just want to hop on a plane back to my hometown and say "im sorry"..... but i guess it's too late....

*sniff*

random blah-ness...

i'm still anxiously waiting.....

sorry i can't tell you what that might be, i don't want to jinx it........ but geez, i just hate waiting..... i used to be very very very patient..... but as i get older, i don't know what happened, i just got more and more impatient...........

anyway........ had another sushi last night...... as usual it's gooooood..... it looked like a california maki but it's not............. it has grilled sashimi(?), tempura, avocado, lettuce, some secret sauce (lol) and lots of fish eggs which i really really like..... sorry no picture........ i was so hungry last night that i was just eating one sushi after another without even pausing to breathe, lol.....

hmmm....whatelse..... oh! my balikbayan box is on it's way to the phillippines....... i can't wait for my family to open it.......

been meeting a lot of new friends...... been going out a lot too lately which is good....... but i'm also sensing some complications that might pop out along the way which, to be honest, i'm kinda scared thinking about but i'm still on the right track, i think.......... i just have to set boundaries because i don't want to give false hopes nor send out the wrong signals........

i still don't know what to do these coming holidays but a friend of mine is inviting me to come with him at connecticut this thanksgiving....... he's talking about macy's (not sure of the spelling) parade........... i just hope he won't change his mind-again (lol)........ i might not be able to go to las vegas for my birthday (my original plan) which really stinks because i'm looking forward to it and i still don't have a plan B for my birthday yet......... christmas? i'm really seriously thinking of visiting my relatives in canada but i'm still working on my canadian visa....... i keep putting it off because i'm waiting for my grandma's invitation letter (do i have to wait for that? or can i go ahead and submit my application?)............. new year, hmm.... no plans yet..... but i heard they have good fireworks here at penn's landing......... we'll see....

i'm missing someone...... i really want to go home for atleast a week's visit but i can't yet..... not until late next year but again that's a maybe...... but if that person comes here to visit, wow! yun lang masasabi ko, wow!

p.s.
i lost 5 lbs.... i'm 105 lbs now... not sure if it's good or bad.... my friend says it's not good and that i should start eating a proper lunch (i just eat 2 pieces of whole wheat bread at lunch).......... but i like seeing some curves and some bones so for me it's good, lol

don't you just loooove sushis

sushis!

i have a friend who's a sushi chef..... and he's not even japanese, he's half chinese and half indonesian.......and what's more interesting is that he's a graduate of architecture but he makes the most awesome sushis! well, he wouldn't be a sushi chef if he's not good..... being the nosy person that i am :-P, i asked him why he's not working in his field of study and he just gave me a very simple answer: "i am enjoying what i'm doing now"..... geez, i wish i could do that too...... i want to be someone who graduated computer science but is happily working as an interior designer or a tourist guide,hmmm, that would be awesome!

anyway.....

so yeah....... that picture there, that's his work of art..... art in every way.... presentation, contents and taste....... never tasted anything like it..... too bad the picture doesn't give justice to how yummy these sushis really look.......i asked him what it's called and he just said he doesn't know yet because he likes making new stuff but he eventually thought of a name........

so if you're wondering what's in it, it has shrimp, crab meat, crab stick, cucumber, tempura, lettuce and some other things that i forgot...... but i'm telling you it's yummy!! it has that sweet-spicy taste and the combination of ingredients just accentuates the taste of each individual ingredients......... basta, it's hard to explain, all i know is it's really really good........ now i have to think of some ways to blackmail him and make him bring more of these sushi babies, LOL....

my mistakes do not define me...

My mistakes do not define me
They inform me
Then refine me

nice....very very well said....

i am putting my life back in order....... it's been a month since that devastating incident....... i don't think about it that much anymore...... i found a diversion...... but that too is not a good thing so i had to let go of that diversion too......

am i regretting any of these? no. i don't.... the thing is, i try not to regret the decisions i made, no matter how bad it is........after all, everything happens for a reason and besides these bad decisions made me realize some of the important things about life that i have never really understood before....... it has left me some nasty marks, yes, but those nasty marks are there to remind me that i shouldn't be making the same mistakes again and that it's there to redefine the better me.........

i have to get my act together..... i need to start it now before i fall into a trap of never ending mistakes....... i'm joining CFC-SFC..... the program starts this friday..... i attended an initial meeting last friday and have met with a lot of cool people (and most of them are pinoys!) ........ i know this would change my life...... atleast, that's what their invitation says: "13 weeks. it'll change your life"..

balikbayan box season....

 

yes...it's that time of the year..... sabi sa kin ng officemate kong pinoy, kung gusto ko raw na umabot sa pasko ang balikbayan box ko by mid october daw dapat padala ko na (kasi po by sea sya..oo cheap ako :P)...... so nanghingi ako ng kung sino pede mag-pick up sa apartment ko..... tapos binigay sa kin number.... syempre tinawagan ko..... buti na lang nagpi-pick up sya sa lugar ko...medyo suburbs kasi ako nakatira e.....kukunin box ko sa thursday.... kanina lang ako nagsimula mamili..... tomorrow til wednesday i need to shop for my family and friends..... kanina puro pang-baby lang ni-shop ko e.... at isang nail polish ko (na super super light pink), hehehe

red is for phillies!

yeah... my company/client is allowing everyone to wear casual clothes since yesterday....and they are requesting them to wear red shirts or anything "phillies" related as support to the phillies baseball team..... actually it was the mayor who suggested that and it was echoed here in my company....

i'm not a sports fanatic (but i love tennis, mind you)....... but i'm not one of those who would cringe and gets bored when watching sports...... i can watch soccer (w/c i like btw), football, baseball, basketball (my fave sport to watch when i was in highschool) and ofcourse tennis (that's my sport)..... i might not understand the rule but i sometimes find myself so immersed watching the game that i would sometimes end up cheering and shouting like the others if the team ( that i have chosen for that day) scores....... i dunno, the spirit of the game (and the crowd) sometimes overpowers me that i just find myself enjoying the game...... heck, i even sometimes get surprised that i was holding my breath when the ball is on my team's hands and would just give a sigh of relief when they scored or would curse like the others if they didn't........

anyway.... my point is.... i'm not a phillies fan or baseball fan for that matter but the people of philadelphia are in ** very good spirit and it's really contagious..... now i'm thinking of wearing a red top tomorrow ..... heck i might even buy those utley baseball shirt, hehe...

**phillies won (after 14 years) the national league east division last sunday (sept 30) and they have beaten the mets (can you believe that?) and now they are playing for the post playoff .......

facebook...

never knew what facebook is until a friend of mine ask me if i have a facebook....

here's my facebook profile: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=504232978

he said facebook is more popular now than myspace because they have like 10,000 applications (dunno if this is true, i haven't checked) to choose from...

if you signed up add me, will you?

shelfari..

cool!

i was forever looking for a site where i can add the books that i own, have read and about to read.... a site where i can make comments and ratings....

curious?

www.shelfari.com

mine is at: www.shelfari.com/sweet_sentiments

i heart jessica zafra...

oh yeah!

she keeps me sane... i have a few of her twisted books (1,3,4 and 5)....asar lang dapat dinala ko un dito ...... i bought womenagerie sa amazon.... the only jessica zafra na nakita ko sa amazon...... i bought it kahit may kamahalan kasi i need something that would make me laugh my tonsils out...... lalo na nung mga "time na yun"...... she never failed me.... i like her wits..... i like the way she writes......

malapit ko nang matapos ang womenagerie...... sya binabasa ko ngayon sa train and bus on my way to and from work.....oh yeah, i joined the band wagon...... ayoko sanang nagbabasa while on a moving vehicle kasi nahihilo ako at inaatake ako ng migraine ko pero i tried it once at ok naman........ so yun nga, patapos na sya and i want another one....... actually i want all my jessica zafra books! (note to self: ask bro to mail them to me)

hmm...makasilip nga sa amazon ulit...

baet ni Lord

i'm high. na naman. may good news kasi akong na-receive nung pauwi na ako (at nasa train). pero di ko muna kwento kasi baka mausog. pero ha. simula friday kinukulit ko na si Lord dun. tapos kanina pag-uwi ko prayer granted. love you God! sa totoo lang. napapansin ko. pag may taong nagwawalang-hiya sa kin (excuse me sa term) lagi talagang may blessings na dumadating sa kin. kaya takot na takot ako sa karma e.

anyway. may kwento ako. kasi am looking for a permanent full-time position. hirap ng consulting kasi palipat-lipat. so pedeng kung saan-saan kang state itapon. mabuti sana kung medyo matagal. kunyari 6mos or 1 year. e hindi e. minsan 2 months lang. tapos di mo pa alam kung saang sulok ng america ka itatapon. pag napunta ka pa sa kansas nyan nakupu, goodluck, pag ako yun mababaliw na ako nun pramis. anyway, so yun nga hanap ako. para naman i can have my own place AND makapag-decorate na ako ng apartment ko at makabili na ako ng totoong bed. hindi yung bean bag lang furniture ko at air bed. at microwave pala na nagpapanggap na tv (hehe super jurassic kasi, di pihit). so syempre may i digress na naman ako di ba. eto na ung totoong kwento.

so may tumawag sa king employer kanina. tanong-tanong sya. gano na ako katagal nagja-java. ano technologies ginagamit ko, anong framework. achuchuchu-abablahblah. lalake nga pala ung interviewer. tapos tanong sya, "so how do you find philly so far?". "i actually like it here. i'm fascinated with old architecture and philly has a lot of old interesting buildings", sabi ko. "oh yeah. philly is a wonderful city. not just all those crap you hear everywhere. and much much better than raleigh *laughs*", sabi nya. "raleigh? as in raleigh, north carolina?", sabi ko. "yeah. you've worked there right?", sabi nya. "yeah. actually, north carolina is a beautiful place to live", sabi ko. syempre paborito kong state yun kaya ipagtatanggol ko di ba. hahaha. "oh really? but they are just trees and not much buildings", sabi nya. "you're right about that but i like it there too. if you want nice beaches north carolina has it. you want mountains, north carolina has it too. and the life there is laid back, slow-paced and the cost of living is low!", sabi ko. " if i can choose a state to live in, i would actually choose north carolina", pahabol ko. "really?", sabi nya . "yeah", sabi ko. so syempre dinaldal ko na di ba. minsa nake-carried away talaga ako e. dati naman may interviewer ako na ang pinag-usapan naman namin harry potter and the deathly hallows. imagine ha. a few minutes ago i was talking about my skills, the technologies i used, the certifications i have, tapos biglang nauwi sa harry potter. hahaha. tapos kwento pa yung interviewer na gusto nya sakalin nanay nya kasi daw nagbigay ng spoiler. hehe. kulit.

anyway, balik tayo sa nag-interview sa kin kanina. so yun nga. tapos tanong sya ng ano status ko. so sabi ko h1b holder ako. tapos narinig ko sya na sinusulat ang "needs to transfer h1". tapos tanong sya "so where are you from originally?". syempre sagot ko philippines. "oh really? did you study here? how long have you been here?", tanong nya. "actually i've been in and out of u.s. since 2005 because my previous employer used to send me here for trainings and some other work-related stuff but i came here as h1b holder just feb of this year", sabi ko. "really? i thought you've been here for a long time because you speak very well", sabi nya. "i'm sorry, what's that again?", tanong ko, although narinig ko na talaga gusto ko lang ulitin nya, hahaha. vain! "you speak very good english", sabi nya. "oh, thank you", haha, landi ko. tapos sabi nya "ok marlin. you would definitely hear from me again. we need you to come here for a face to face interview.. linda will send you the details, ok?". "ok. thanks for your time. it was nice talking to you. have a good one", sabi ko. "you too, marlin. bye", sabi nya.

ayun lang.

bow.

p.s.
nde yan ang good news na sinasabi ko. basta. i'm so happy! kwento ko yun pag i made my final decision.

what to do...

what to do, where to go on thanksgiving. christmas. new year.

parang ang loser ko di ba? hahaha.

i have friends kaso syempre mga busy din yung mga yun e di ba? and most of them have families.

hayyyy life.

note to self:
need to apply for tourist canadian visa ASAP.
