The Different Faces of Me

You HAVE to read all of them and if you don't your going to come across with in your relationship for the next month!

3) Guys go crazy over a girl's smile

7) A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.

8) GUYS LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU LOVE THEM!!!

11) If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and he is really thinking about something..

21)Even if you dump a guy months ago and he loved you he probably still does and if he had one wish it would be you to come back into his life ..

Well, here's mine:

Cat and Mouse

Softly we tremble tonight,
picture perfect fading smiles are all that's left in site,
I said I'd never leave you'll never change
I'm not satisfied with where I'm at in life.

Am I supposed to be happy?
When all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
When all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
You said, you said that you would die for me….

We made plans to grow old,
believe me there was truth in all those stories that I told.
Lost in a simple game cat and mouse are we the same people as before this came to light?

Am I supposed to be happy?
when all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
You said, you said that you would die for me…

You must live for me too'...
For me too...yeah, yeah…
You said that you would die for me…

Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
when all I ever wanted, it comes with a price
You said, you said that you would die for me...

"Never assume, never expect, never demand..."

Three basic principles to which you should remember in a relationship...
"Love more, expect less, get hurt, cry, then love even more"

Live by this, live thru this and eventually you'll realize that...
Loving is being able to give more when you have nothing left...

Last Sunday, we celebrated the Chinese All Souls Day. Early that morning we were starting to prepare the food and the chinese papers that were believed to be money in the next life. We prepared 10 different dishes and prayed for the souls of our ancestors.

Here are some of the pictures:


What a very tiring day! I don't know if all of these traditions are true but still we continue to do it. My relatives would be really really mad if we don't follow.

Today is friday and its PAY DAY! That's one of the reasons why I am looking forward to this day. Although I am not feeling well today I went to the office early. We had our breakfast get togther with the other employees of this company. During our lunch break, our office mate ,Maureen, invited us for a lunch out. We were suppose to eat at Contis but we were still to wait for a long time. Biruin mo ba naman pang 9th pa kami maghihintay. So we decided to look for another restaurant. Cindi suggested the roadhouse. She told us that the food there is good. So we all went there to check out their food and found out that Cindi was right. The food is oh-so yummy!

Here's a picture of the meal I ate:

Till our next food trip! ^_^

Yesterday was quite a day, it is both tiring and a boring day. I was the one who installed the HCM in the two virtual machines --- the web server and the application server. It was fun that I could apply what I learned in the training. I was a little bothered at work thinking about the upcoming judgement day. Will I be able to stay here in the company or will I just start up my own business just like what my dad likes? I enjoy working here because of my friends. I really love being with them and spending time with them makes me feel like I have a new siblings. Working at this big company is a big challenge for me. But having a boss like what I have now is making me want to give up. I know I shouldn't. But I fear that his favoritism takes place then I would be left out with no good projects at all. Oh, life! Its really difficult as it seems. I really want to grow with this kind of business and I wanted to learn but its really hard. So I guess, I'll just leave it to fate. What is destined is destined to be no matter how I do something about it.

I just wish someday, everything's going to be fine. And that I would still be a successful businesswoman as I dream to be...

Yesterday was a busy day at work. We've been busy with the installation and I have to hurry to go home. Well, I was excited because I will be able to bake again.

When I arrived our house I checked all the ingredients to be used and prepared for dinner. (sympre dinner muna noh! haha) After dinner, my brother and I started to bake. I actually showed him how to make my cookies so that he could do it if mommy wants to have those cookies..
(haha! ang daya eh noh... nagturo lang para may proxy na taga gawa..)

Here are the pictures of the cookies..

haha wla lng hindi pa gaano maaus pgkakamold k nian ng cookies excited lng ako mgpicture.. lol

Life as they say is difficult. It can give you different weird emotions. It can make you happy or sad --you do not know what it could bring you depending on the situation. As they say, it is a mystery to solve for a lifetime.

I am only 23 years old but I can say that life has been pretty tough. There are times that I would want to give up but thinking of my loved ones makes me want to go on. I don't want them to feel betrayed by leaving them all behind. Right now, my family is having a difficult time. We are still recovering from the damages that life has gave us. I know, its our destiny and that these trials that are given to us are just trials to make us stronger. But when will this end? My family and siblings are very well affected. Sometimes I'd wish that all of our problems would go away. Well, it did not. I guess I have to pray harder. Hard enough for my wish to be granted.

Early today, I received a not-so-good news from my boyfriend. They are having their family financial problems too. Why do this have to happen? We're all people working hard to make a living but there are these people who can't get hold of their own lives and destroy other people's lives. ewan ko ba! naiinis na ako sa government naten.wala na silang ibang gnwa kundi manghut hut ng pera sa mga tao. as if naman may nagagawa silang mgnda.

I don't know how all of this has to end. I wanted to be there for him. I wanted to do something.. but I don't know how. All I can do is to be strong.. not only for him but for my family too. I know they'll be needing me more..

A big jar full of water gets emptied by just a small hole...

meaning?

A single pain could drain all the happiness of a loving heart..

I got this from a friend's multiply. Just thought of posting it here for the future. This is for my future baby (lol, i have not thought of having one.. not any soon!)

I got this from my officemate's blog. haha! I am just bored right now waiting for the installers to be uploaded to the virtual machines.

FYI - Through a rapist's eyes! A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who's clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.

5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.

6] Number three is public restrooms.

7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don't have to worry about getting caught.

8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for! them to realize that going after you isn't worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.

10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you're not worth it.

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:=20

1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can't believe it is so cold out here, we're in for a bad winter. Now that you've seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.

2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they'd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.

4] If someone grabs you, you can't beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh - HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.

5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy's parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you'll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he's out of there.

6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don't dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ....

I know you are smart enough to know these pointers but there will be some, where you will go "hmm I must remember that" After reading, forward it to someone you care about, never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.

2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you.... chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit
(doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage: a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .

b. If you! u are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

c. Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to send this to the ladies only, but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it onto them, as well.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it's better safe than sorry.

--------------
I got this from my multiply account. Forgot to whom I got it. But it is a reminder for us girls and to all our love ones.

How many times does a heart needed to endure before it defines love? Does sacrifice comes along with things we want? That we must struggle a thousand times before we grasp an affection that could lead us to our own misery?

That is life, the more we hate it the more we ask for love. And the more love we ask, the more we learn...

I had a wonderful sleep so when I woke up in the morning and greeted everyone with my warmest greetings. I asked my sister and my mom (who are already up) if they had they breakfast. Too bad that they already had breakfast. I am in a good mood that wanted to make a healthy breakfast.
I went up the the kitchen and prepared for a healthy breakfast.

I cooked some bacon and prepared for the other ingredients. And the sandwich looks like this

I'll upload the picture tom. :D

I gave my sister a sandwich while she's studying for her midterm exam. I also made one for my mom who's busy chatting with my aunts online, I made one for my little brother who is still sleeping. And of course, I made one for myself. I ate my sandwich with my hot cappuccino.
Ahhh, It made my day!

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's learning to dance in the rain.
It's giving your heart to someone even if you're a little scared at first.
It's about taking risks and making life worth living..

..coz every minute you waste is a minute you'll never get back.

After a several weeks of waiting, finally today we're going to install PeopleSoft for our project with BPI. Its a clean installation from scratch. Right now, I am still copying the installers to the virtual drives before installing it. Can't wait till I do the actual installing of PeopleSoft.

Look at our desk!


---
I am so bored waiting for the installers to be copied. >.<

I woke up late today because of the bad weather. I wanted to sleep more but I have to go to work today. *argh* I attempted to sleep again 5 times but my little brother just keeps on waking me up till I got up and prepared for work.

I was at the area where I usually wait for my ride. 10 minutes.. 20 minutes.. 30 minutes.. had past still there are no vans going to global city, the fort. I hate this day! I am too lazy and the weather is not going on my way. The wind is so strong, the rain starts to pour and my slacks are getting wet. Finally, after 45minutes of waiting I finally got my ride to work. When I arrived at the office, my slacks have few drops of mud. I hate this.. I hate the bad weather for today..

Its the first day of August, and its the first Friday of the month! Hurray! That means we'll all have free breakfast at work. I woke up early today because I was so excited that today is Friday and that only means that I can see my baby tomorrow! Anyway, I arrived at the office at 7:07 am. (pretty early huh?) I just don't get it why I can go to work this early when I was still in ASTI. Maybe because here, if I go to work early, I can go home early.

Today's Menu for the breakfast:

• Hotcakes
• Cereals
• Sausages
• Juice or Coffee
