I have a new career goal.
If I will not to become an environmental consultant/specialist
(naks! ang taas ng pangarap ko! :)
then I will take up MA Psychology and
pursue a career in counseling.
I want to get in touch with people and their feelings.
Hindi career counseling ha...
Ay pwede na rin pala career counseling. :)
nangangarap lang... :)

Trading My Sorrows
Darryl Evans
I'm trading my sorrow
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
And we say yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes, Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes, Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes, Lord. Amen
I'm pressed but not crushed
persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I'm blessed beyond the curse
for His promise will endure
And His joy's gonna be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning...
I'm trading my sorrow
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
And we say yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes, Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes, Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes, Lord. Amen
I'm pressed but not crushed
persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I'm blessed beyond the curse
for His promise will endure
And His joy's gonna be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning...

My cousins and me
I have so much to be thankful for. One of them would be for having given the chance to see my beloved brothers and cousins grow up into beautiful persons.

Pissed!
I saw an old friend last Sunday. And while waiting for the food we ordered, we had an opportunity to talk and update each other. I don’t know how to say this in a nice way but to put it bluntly; I really was not so thrilled to see her. She left me bothered and irritated.
She used to be a very good friend of mine during college. We live in the same city and basically have the same circle of friends. During our first few years in college, we were inseparable - like twin sisters.
However, we drifted apart when I graduated. I am partly to blame because of my busy schedule. Actually I don’t know what happened… we were less than ten in our house (they were my housemates) and ever since I went out of college, I have communications naman with our other housemates who are located (and continuously moving) all over the country (Cebu, Cavite, Cotabato, Bukidnon, Laguna and etc.).
We still try to rekindle our friendship by seeing each other every now and then. After which we would promise to communicate and see each other more often. But after a while, wala na naman.
Lately, I noticed that whenever we see each other, there is this pattern of questions and responses that she would follow which would definitely leave my emotions jumbled. First, she would ask me how I am and then talks about the one person I am trying very hard to forget.
Sad, because during those times when I really needed her the most, she was nowhere to be found. She even told me that she was invited to have dinner with him and the girl. Imagine?! Tapos ngayon, tuwing magkikita kami, kukuwentuhan niya ako ng kung ano-ano. And mind you I am not asking her to tell me those things! I am just so pissed that’s why I am writing this. Yes, I am really affected. Why can’t you just keep those things to yourself? Can’t you be a little bit sensitive?
Hay… :(

Words of wisdom
Ten Things to Remember When Your Feelings Have Been Trampled On
By: Donna Fargo
1. Whether it’s a family member, somebody at work, or your best friend who’s hurt you badly, put yourself in their shoes and treat them the way you would want to be treated, even if they don’t deserve it.
2. If you’ve heard something you didn’t want to hear, remember it may not be 100% true. So lighten up. If it’s not urgent, put off thinking about it for a couple of days. Forgive the person who wronged you; don’t forget, you’re doing this for yourself, too. Prove to yourself that you can practice what you believe. Try to be as understanding of others as you would want them to be of you.
3. There will always be losers and winners. Act according to how you want to feel about yourself when all is said and done. Don’t judge what others do if you don’t want them to judge you.
4. Remember, what other people do is their responsibility. Don’t let them cause you to carry a grudge and let their actions weigh you down. They are not responsible for your actions, no matter what they do. You are.
5. If someone has said something untrue about you or done something intentionally to hurt you, wish good things for that person – even if you don’t feel like it. Ask for them what you desire for yourself, and it will draw those things to you.
6. If you’ve made a mistake or disappointed yourself or others, apologize quickly and earnestly; that’s all you can do. Let your remorse teach you how to have compassion for others when they make mistakes. Nobody’s perfect, even though we all try to be. If someone can’t accept your apology, that’s okay, too. Just do the right thing and go on.
7. Talk less and listen more; you could learn something about others and about yourself. If you feel like yelling, go outside and throw rocks on the cement instead. Take a walk or, better yet, sing . . . it will put a melody back in your life.
8. If you think someone is making fun of you or someone you love, disarm them, not with your fist, but with your best smile. Give them something they don’t know how to give. Speak to them; be bold. Ask that they be blessed and you’ll be blessed, too. Forgiveness is a powerful thing; it will help your body and soul. Don’t let anyone cause you to act the way they’ve acted toward you, and remember that they have a right to do whatever they choose also.
9. Don’t hide your hurts and pains and feelings inside where they will harden your heart. Use common sense and understanding to process them. Don’t react just from your feelings; respond with maturity rather than childish habit. You won’t regret it.
10. Get in touch with the person you want to be and become that. Listen to your heart… you can find the answer there to every question you have. Remember, no matter how you’re treated, just treat others the way you would want to be treated when your feelings are getting trampled on.

Iba't-ibang kwento
As kids, my brothers and I rarely had any disagreement on what TV shows to watch. We particularly like cartoons and good adventure/science fiction programs. Except for WBC wrestling and Mr. Bean (their favorite and my most hated), we agreed on almost anything shown on TV. From Powerpuff Girls to Kimpossible to Justice League, Batman Beyond to Dragon Ball Z to Inuyasha and Fruit Basket. Name it, we watch it.
However, my all time favorites are: Batman and X-men, for individual and group category respectively.
Batman because he has the capability to get out of any sticky situation (as most super heroes does) without the aid of any superhuman powers, a charcteristic that is recognizably his. He only use his high-tech stuffs – bat belt, bat mobile and the likes – to fight criminals.
As for the X-men, I mainly like the characters and their very unique (siyempre, mutants nga eh) abilities followed by the nice plot.
~~~
When the Uncanny X-men was first shown on TV more than a decade ago, Cyclopes was my first favorite because of his romance with Jean. But then there was this one episode where they featured Wolverine and his life story.
The episode showed how he got his adamantium claws and skeleton and why he had to kill his fiance Lady Mariko Yashida, who was poisoned by Reiko, to relieve her from the pain of slow death caused by the toxin. (wikipedia)
I got this phrase from that episode: “Open your heart where it hurts so much to see the world with your eyes.”
From then on, I became his fan.
~~~
The other night I watched the movie X-men: The Last Stand. I liked it so much; it put a stop on my blog-writing hibernation.
For those who don’t want spoilers, stop reading and visit someone else’s page. For those who already watched the movie or want to have a glimpse of it, read on.
~~~
I wasn’t really shocked when Professor Xavier died. One of my officemates carelessly mentioned it hours before I watched the film. However, what shocked me was the way he died. Jean Grey’s other self, the Phoenix, killed him. It surprised me for once because I know Jean Grey had a lot of untapped mind powers/potentials but what I didn’t know was that she was THAT powerful (level 5 – imagine!).
And then there was Wolverine.
It is a known fact that Wolverine loves Jean Grey. What broke my heart was, of all the characters in the movie, he was the one who was “tasked” to kill her. It was really sad.

Isa pang kwento…
I bought a complete set of the Korean Telenovela “The Wonderful Life” =D Corny na kung corny pero ang favorite ko ay si… Min Do Huyn. Ang nice ng smile grabe! :)

Another kwento…
How do you spend a great summer weekend? Mine would be to spend it with my family and friends.
The Angking Tanglaw Choir (SFC Bicutan) spent a weekend at our place (Alaminos, Laguna) last May 20-21, 2006. We are not used to having visitors sleep at our house kaya nakakatuwa nung samin sila natulog :).
We arrived at my place at 11 pm, had dinner and slept at around 2am. We woke up at around 6am the next day. My parents and brother accompany us to Sta. Lucia (at the foot of Mt. Banahaw, Dolores Quezon) for the fellowship.
Anyway, will post the pictures tomorrow :)
