[ CHOICES ]

To feel love and being loved in return, is perhaps one of the world's greatest feeling...



You know it when it happens. That thing called "MAGIC," is there --- yep, where sparks fly, your eyes are so cheery, and that your smile is so genuine that it could inflict others. You turn so viral that even a smirk could spell how madly "in-love" you are.

It feels crazy to be in-love. Crazy like crazy, that you wouldn't want to mind time. You just want to spend each and every minute with that special someone --- and the hell with what the both of you are doing. What's important is that you two are together, enjoying each second, each warmth and each shower of Joy, time has blessed you both.

And what are you to do when that perfect feeling, that is just soooo right, is definitely "oh so wrong?"

My friend and I has been having this discussion this afternoon over mango juice...

I know that each one of us has their own opinion and own disposition to things that occurs...

While we were talking, I told my friend that even how happy a person could be, he/she just needs to give it up... FOR THE GREATER GOOD. Kailangan mong maging Tama...

then, ok, fine... comes this thing for "the love to one's self."

*wait. this will be continued tomorrow. i am about to leave the office.*

So what about yourself?

 
Your phone beeps and you are as excited as a Kid, who is about to taste his first lollipop. Who? Who? Who sent an SMS. Yes! It's him. You know you are delighted upon seeing his name on the inbox. Come 'on! do not deny it. Then you slowly flashed that devilish grin, and eventually turned into the most joyous creature. And yes... there goes those sparks again :)

No one is perfect in life and no one can take perfect decisions in life. This happens in every situation. Let us talk about relationships. Many a times, you like a person or fall for that person, but you know that he is a wrong choice for you. What would you do in this situation? Simply stop yourself from falling for Mr. wrong. And how will you do that? Read on. 

1. Pay heed to his past

If you know that you like a guy, whose past relationship history is not good, then you need to think again. If you know that the person you like has many girlfriends or had many, then be cautious and stop yourself from falling for him. Guys with such a history will repeat the same thing with you.

2. Take advice from friends

The best way out is to take help of your friends. This will divert your mind. Tell your friends that the person you like is the wrong one for you. Seek their advice and this will help in dealing with the situation. Your friends can urge you to get out of this situation with support and comfort. SO this means that FRIENDS must show that they DISCOURAGE you and not the other way around.

3. Listen to your instincts

If you know you are falling for a wrong person, then the best way out is to listen to your instincts. Listen to your mind and you will never take a wrong decision. Self-control is the key to get out of this situation. And yes, Self-Control is very crucial. You have to hold on to your principles, think back on how your parents raised you, of how you see yourself with the person and if you really can stand being with that person.




Love can knock on your door at its most perfect timing. Indeed, it can bring you to Cloud Nine and paint your skies with the greatest fireworks too. But, choose to be righteous. When you say, "how about my own happiness?" You come to think again...

If you really care so much for yourself. You won't put a check-in-the-"unsure"-box, which you would have to deal with for your whole life.


And I quote my favorite line from the movie The Notebook:

"Summer romances end for all kinds of reasons. But when all is said and done, they have one thing in common: They are shooting stars-a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, a fleeting glimpse of eternity. And in a flash, they're gone..."

Don't deprive yourself from being happy. You deserve it in many ways. But be wise enough on guarding your heart and be clever enough on making your choices.

hello, again!

wooaahhhhhh... i has been a while since I last wrote. Yes, i was a "little" busy than usual.

I missed writing and if only I have a lot of time today (there'll be a staff meeting in a while), I would spend all my time blogging :)

I have had a lot of thoughts in September. I could not afford to write them all down now. But bit by bit, I would.

For the mean time, let us all stay happy. Let's all be productive and useful at work and in our homes.

[ A U G U S T ]

August has been very busy.

As you can see, I haven't been writing enough. Blogging has always been into mind, but I just couldn't find time.

This month, I got to try things at work which I haven't experienced before. Just like braving the waist-high flood just to distribute relief goods to fellow Pinoys affected by the heavy monsoon rains earlier this month. We also went on a medical mission and felt so thankful that my Family stays safe inside a flood-less home, with concrete walls and a stable roof. I also got to meet and be working closely with more Politicians, SM Foundation Team, Barangay Chairmen, Rotary Club Heads and DSWD workers.

SM also held the Brilliante Mendoza Film Festival and got the chance to work  with the Director...

Marc also did so good with all his dishes for this month. Sarap! His Pork Medallions, Chicken Curry and his own version of Sisig were simply the best. 

 

 I also got to cook this month. One thing I failed doing when I started to work again. Of course, my best recipe would be my  Chicken and Pork Paprikash and my Patola Soup ala La Paz Batchoy!

I am also so proud with my diet. I can definitely say that I am eating a lot less. I eat during dinner though, Marc cooks, what can I do? But, I can control my food intake now. I could somehow wear my clothes more comfortably. I am happy about it :)

It is also in this month when Marc and I got sick during the same days of the week. We were (include Arkin) just inside our house on those days.

As for my son... He had his "first" haircut after his "real first" haircut. I guess he will have his hair done now, on a "more often" basis. The three of us are all going crazy over mega blocks. Arkin is also developing really really fast. He speaks very clear and asks us clever questions. He could do some chores already; like putting his toys back, throwing things in the trash can, cleaning water spills. He is also very malambing. Arkin met Anna this month --- which made me happy because he found a new friend in the village; but made me think that someday soon, he might end-up falling-in-love with a random girl he met. Haha :)

Mama visited Los Baños after her last visit in July 01, 2012. I missed her. Sure did my Boy :)

Bakla and Perx went to La Union and Baguio.

We stayed at Daddy and Mommy's house overnight. It felt really weird that I was half-asleep at my parents house all night. Well, it is not the "home" I am used to --- like our home in Faculty.

This month, I missed my godson's baptism. It was a crazy story! Nahiya talaga ako kay Ela.

After almost 3 years --- i got to speak with my best guy friend, Vyjay! He called me up when I sent him a birthday greeting through an SMS. I also got to talk to his wife, Jenn :) I hope that they will visit the Phils soon so that we'd see each other... I really miss Bugoy...

August is my third month here at work. I got my 3rd Month assessment. But, it is also in this month, when I am formulating a plan in mind for a better career path. That is because, I got to drive a car after 9 months... and I missed it BIG TIME!!!

Bonggak Pastries: Bringing Life to Celebrations

Almost all celebrations are made meaningful with the presence of  this scrumptious, moist, tasty and delicious CAKE. The history of cake dates back to ancient times. The first cakes were very different from what we eat today. They were more bread-like and sweetened with honey. Nuts and dried fruits were often added. Now, from a bread-like piece, cakes eventually improved its baking techniques as well as its decorations. 

Cake decorating is an edible art. It is interesting to note how cake decorating, like most other things, is simply a reflection of the society and life of the people who developed it.

February 1, 2011 --- It is in SM City Calamba where a local specialty cake shop was first introduced to the market --- BONGGAK PASTRIES. It is a family owned and operated pastry shop since 2009. Bonggak Pastries only started as a very small stall in Los Baños, Laguna with only one employee. Its proprietor, Cecile Helene Miranda Devaux, also managed to put up her brand online through the social media, Facebook and Multiply. 

 

 

 

Bonggak Pastries specializes in Fondant Cakes. By definition, fondant is an icing made of confectioners sugar and water, giving the bread foundation a layer of smooth finish. Their cakes offer clients sweetness that is just right, a smooth bread texture and an array of yummy flavors (comes in Chocolate, Red Velvet, Carrot  and Butter). The brand enables their costumers to customize their own cake and cupcake designs too. Cakes by Bonggak Pastries are known to be full of colors; it could also be noted that there has been no cake with the same exact theme; their brand is always innovative, changing and unique. Customer satisfaction is their top priority, which means giving customers flexibility on the cake's design and most especially, its price. The brand has also been featured in SmartParenting online.

Bonggak Pastries became, by any definition, a successful business venture since its first day of opening in SM City Calamba. From a stall of one employee, Bonngak Pastries now has 21 employees and is already in more than one SM Supermalls in South Luzon. Their branches are also located in SM City Lipa, SM City Dasmariñas and is recently opened in SM City Sta.Rosa in August 03, 2012.

Any celebration will never be complete without a CAKE to celebrate with... Bring life to your celebration. Why choose ordinary? --- celebrate with Bonggak Pastries.

Not-So-Perfect Day

I always look forward to sleeping. I love to sleep a lot. If only I have written every dream I had, I could have a dozen of 4-inched book already.  Actually, I do not have any intention with this post. I just feel so tired at this very moment. I feel like going to bed already... *devilish grin*

I am still at the Mall and it's already 8:45pm. The mall hours have been extended to 10:30pm from it's original closing time of 10:00pm. It's because the mall shoppers are still enjoying.

I feel good whenever I wake-up on weekdays. Even when I feel that there is none, I mind-set that I will spend my day for whatever purpose. It makes me feel productive when I am able to do things and finish a task. I like it like that.

But please, I really wallow a lot in bed on weekends. Tomorrow is Saturday, and I will be at the Mall. Ok, well then, going to work will be the purpose of my day. I will just have to wait for Monday and Tuesday so I'll get to rest.

I am really tired.
