HBD 24th!

Dear God,


I would like to thank You for this day. That I was able to reach this far, celebrating my 24 years of existence in this very wonderful place you created, so-called earth.


Thank you for my very loving and always supporting family and friends who are very important parts of my life. For everything that you have given me and for how I've become who I am now.


I wish to become better as I walk through another year of my life. Better, in terms of how I am as a person, a daughter and a friend. In that way, I'd be able to serve a better purpose of the life you have granted me, 24 years ago.


There is no enough measurement nor a perfect word to describe how grateful I am for the life you have given me. I know I can't thank you enough, but still, thank you and I love you.

Stressed or Depressed?

I had a quick chika moment with my previous Team Leader, Ronna yesterday AM after my shift when I passed by her station on my way out of production.


She noticed a change on my skin. YES, I've been having some annoying pimples/acne on my chin and it is very much irritating me, I even had to purchase another concealer, a liquid-type one because of it. 
See, while checking for some skin products at Etudehouse SM Fairview last week, I passed by the section for make ups and decided to check their famous Miss Tangerine collection. I noticed this liquid type concealer, I have actually been using the stick type of them for more than a year now. The friendly sales lady even did a very quick demo of it's concealing power... I just decided to give it a try and I happened to love it because of this horrible changes on my skin.


Going back this change, TL Ronna said that she saw in an article that most often, pimples on the chin part of our face is caused by STRESS.
Aww.. am I? I actually thought I am depress and not really stressed. What she said made me actually think, how come?


Earlier this morning while I was waiting for a bus ride home from work, a thought suddenly crossed my mind. I have been on a BADVIBES the whole for some reasons I really can't determine, OH YEAH, maybe I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed - the side where I felt the missing part of my life, the side where I realized that I am still missing Keith, the side where I thought of the things I want to have but unable to get it. Now, that is definitely a wrong side of my bed. lol
Anyway, I also thought of the difference between "stress" & "depression".


So when I got home, I decided to check it in Google, and here are some of the results;

"It is true that stress contributes to depression symptoms such as sadness. Recent research has found many stressors to increase depression symptoms."

I like how it was explained here by about.com;

Ever heard someone say, "He's a real pain in the neck" (or other body part!)? Did you know that stress in your life can quite literally be expressed as pain and illness? To make this easier to understand, let's compare your body to a pressure cooker. If it's allowed to vent its steam, it will sit there and happily cook along. If it's not allowed to vent its steam, the pressure will build up and up until the lid blows off! We humans are no different. And, like the pressure cooker we "flip our lids" by becoming depressed. Now, lets say that we have a cooker under pressure, but we're applying pressure to hold that lid on (the human equivalent would be holding in our emotions). What will happen? Eventually, the vessel will break and the place it will break is at its weakness point. The same goes for us human beings. If one of your body systems is weakened, this is where a stress-related illness is most likely to develop. If your weakest point physically is your neck, you'll develop neck pains. Or back pain. Or ulcers. Or frequent colds and flu. You get the picture.

But this is the most that I like and understand;

Kopi & friendship sunday!

I was busy chatting with someone in FB last sunday AM when Je-ar, a girl-friend of mine sent a PM.
Je-ar Ramos: hinello ba ako ni ucci sayo?
Lalalalalala...
Suddenly, mi group chat na kaming tatlo and planning a kopi trio date for the day!


Ucci is Je-ar's high school close friend at School of the Holy Spirit. She also happened to be my officemate/wavemate in Convergys. What a small world isn't it?
Our call time for the kopi date is 3PM at RNB [read and brew], our favorite tambayan in Fairview. Procrastinator me, fell asleep straight after having lunch, woke up at already 4PM - holy cow! Good thing that they are still there. Got to the place at 5:30-ish.
Chillin' at that place really completes my sunday. Keith [the ex] & I spent most of our Sundays there when we're still together. I've met several people there whom eventually became some of the awesome people of my life, my funny friends - including Je-ar.
Je-ar is a friend of Buchoy, who is a friend of the ex. Both of them, Je-ar & Buchoy remain friends with me, close friends, even after the break up. Lucky I, right?


Some of the hi-lites of this tambay are the pick-up lines Je-ar & I shared to each other.
"Psst, punta tayong sementeryo!"
-- huh? bakit?
"Dadalawin natin yung puso kong patay na pataaaay sayoooo.."
LMAO!
"Sabi ni Peterpan, mag-isip ka ng masasayang bagay at lilipad ka na. Bakit ako, pag iniisip kita, nahuhulooooog ako!" <3


Imagine someone telling you those lines, funny & annoying right? But it sooo kileeeeeg.. 
ARTE.


I swear, it's awesome when delivered personally.


Anyway, I really feel blessed, for later that day, there are more friends who came to have coffee with me, the husband & wife, Meg & Dex with their child, Alexa. Shiella with her baby Zoe also came. These people are also common friends with the ex & this is the first time they'll see me since the previous break up. I have been most wanted for them recently. lol
Some bits of my coffee / friendship day.

The rest of awesome people! <3

I feel so blessed, that these people, love me despite of the rough relationship with Keith. Really, I never asked for their loyalty and all, just a friendship, full of awesome moments & funny jokes!
 

Rich much,

Confessions of a moody blogger!

Heller! I am back, once again. 


Well, as we all know, blogging for me is like my lovelife [on/off]. And I am back for the nth time in very same page, creating a new entry after a vurrrrry long time.


What's new?
A lot.


1. My birthday is coming in less than a month [soooo eggzaaayted about this!]
2. I am single [again], just broke up with the same person. [will there ever be a time that i'll say that for the final time?]
3. I have a new pet. [a persian male cat, jacko]
4. I'm getting a tattoo for my birthday [loooong overdue]
5. I'm planning to have digiperm. [yes, girlier @ 24. lol]


And a lot mooooore...


I'll try to blog more often now than ever, missed this much.


I once read somewhere that missing someone means choosing not to be with them. Oh well, maybe huh?!


Dear mum,
If you're reading this, I am sorry because i'd be staying more often in front of my desktop now that I am single, it may make the electricity bill more higher, but I think that's okay, marami ka naman pira eh! So, joke lang pala ung sorry! Hahaha




I'd blog more often...




I am missing a lot of things right now, I am boooored and want to have such things.

In this California king bed
We’re ten thousand miles apart
I bet California wishing on these stars of the heart for me
