a quote from Christina Aguilera

 Christina Aguilera:

Now in life there’s gonna be times
When you’re feeling low
And in your mind insecurities seem to take control
We start to look outside ourselves
For acceptance and approval
We keep forgetting that the one thing we should know is
Don’t be scared
To fly alone
Find a path that is your own
Love will open every door.

See in your hands the world is yours

Don’t hold back and always know

All the answers you will unfold

What are you waiting for?

Spread your wings and soar.”

he doesnt know im doing something else. LOL

happy monthsary, sweetheart! Love u!

Visitng SG for the nth time

Two weeks from now, I'll visit Singapore again, well because I'll visit the love of my life. Visiting SG really never fail me to feel excited. And so because i am that excited, i'm gonna buy a luggage. yay! i really can't wait. My visit this time is really different from the previous visits I had. Mainly because of the following:

• I'll be staying not just 3 or 4 days but 15 days. Yes, you've read it right. 15 days
• This visit will just be in SG no other places to be visited, just plain SG
• No pressure visit, i mean no pressure because I'll just stay at home. It's more like of a rest after weekends and weekdays of working and overworking
• Spending more time with Marc and really appreciating the beauty of SG in a laid back way
• And of course, just recently, Marc and I planned of me going to look for a job in SG. so, that's the pressure will come in
• So i'm keeping my fingers crossed ;)

My visit in SG will somehow change my long term plans. I hope that this is gonna be a fruitful one. oh, la! ;)

You don't pick who you fall in love with

Two weeks ago, I was able to watch "No Strings Attached" which stars Ashton Kutcher and 
When the movie was about to end, Ashton's dad in the movie said, "You don't pick who you fall in love with." Oh man, that is so true. You'll really never know. ;)

it starts and ends wth yourself

The center of your universe begins and ends with you. You are the source of everything you experience. You are foundation and common denominator to all aspects of your life, including your environment, your relationships, and your belief system. Without you, your world would cease to exist. Therefore, if you want to make any real and significant changes to your life, the only place to start is with yourself.

one of the best moments ;)

so true ;) One of the best moment in life is when you falling for someone you never thought you would fall for

Bob Ong's philosophy of Love

1. "Kung hindi mo mahal ang isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya.."

2. "Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba.."

3. "Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang."

4. "Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na."

5. "Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin."

6. "Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo...Dapat lumandi ka din."

7. "Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang."

8. "Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa."

9. "Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo.. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka.. Kaya quits lang."

10. "Kung dalawa ang mahal mo, piliin mo yung pangalawa. Kasi hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo talaga yung una."

11. "Hindi porke't madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text ng wantusawa eh may gusto sayo at magkakatuluyan kayo. Meron lang talagang mga taong sadyang friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall O paasa."

12. "Huwag magmadali sa babae o lalaki. Tatlo, lima , sampung taon, mag-iiba ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong hindi pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang maganda o nakakalibog ito. Totong mas mahalaga ang kalooban ng tao higit sa anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan nagmumukha ding pandesal, maniwala ka."

13. "Minsan kahit ikaw ang nakaschedule, kailangan mo pa rin maghintay, kasi hindi ikaw ang priority."

14. "Mahirap pumapel sa buhay ng tao. Lalo na kung hindi ikaw yung bida sa script na pinili nya."

15. "Alam mo ba kung gaano kalayo ang pagitan ng dalawang tao pag nagtalikuran na sila? Kailangan mong libutin ang buong mundo para lang makaharap ulit ang taong tinalikuran mo."

16. "Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala"

17. "Hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohan, at hindi lahat ng hindi mo kayang intindihin ay kasinungalingan"

18. "Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay!

Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!"

19. "Ang pag-ibig parang imburnal...nakakata kot mahulog...at kapag nahulog ka, it's either by accident or talagang tanga ka.."

Dear Mr. Bob Ong, 

Matagal ko na pong nililigawan itong ramp model na stage actress na nakilala ko recently sa isang party. Nasisiraan na ako ng bait. Pag nakilala mo siya, tiyak matutunaw ang utak mo sa kakaisip sa kanya. 

Hingi lang po ako ng advice. Paano ko po siya mapapaibig? Bibigyan ko ba siya ng tula ? Haharanahin ko ba siya? Roses? Kalachuchi? Chocnut at sampaguita? 

In lab na po ako. Ano po ang gagawin ko? Is she the one. 

Lubos na gumagalang, 

- Bartolome - 




Dear Bartolome, 

Hindi ka talaga sasagutin niyang nililigawan mo. Napaka-old school kasi ng mga tactics mo. Wala nang gumagawa ng ganyan. Sa panahon ngayon, lahat ng bagay, nagtaas na. Nagtaas na ang gasolina, nagtaas na ang presyo ng bigas at mga bilihin, nagtaas na ang pamasahe, at lalong nagtaas na rin ng standards ang mga babae. Hindi na uubra yang siopao at kalachuci mo. Lalo na yung huli mong binigay, hopia at santan. Ano ba pare? Ano’ng era ka ba pinanganak? 

Pero don’t worry. It’s not too late. May pag-asa ka pa. Hindi pa naman siya kinakasal at di pa niya sinasagot yung crush niya na basketball player. Kahit lamang siya ng sampung paligo sa’yo, daanin mo sa utak at creativity. Dahil aminin na natin, iyon na lang talaga ang pag-asa mo. Heto, bibigyan kita ng mga simple, tried and tested na mga regalo para di siya mapurga sa hopia at siomai. Sundin mo ‘to, tiyak na lalaglag ang bagang niya sa’yo. Mga medyo more than your usual regalong panligaw: 

1. Bili ka ng century tuna. Ilagay mo sa isang napakalaking box­yung sinlaki ng TV o kaya box ng desktop PC mo. Tapos balutan mo ng magarang pambalot. Kuntsabahin mo na yung teacher niya sa Calculus. Sa gitna ng klase, bigla kang kumatok sa classroom. Pero dapat, incognito ka. Magsuot ka ng LBC jacket, magshades, at magsuot ng surgical mask. Pagpasok mo sa classroom, iabot mo yung box sa teacher, at papirmahin mo ng acknowledgement receipt. Tapos pabuksan mo in front of everyone. Tignan mong mabuti ang reaction sa mukha niya. 

Later during the day, pag tinanong niya kung bakit Century Tuna ang binigay mo, iikot mo yung lata at ituro mo yung sign na “Omega 8.” Pag tinanong niya kung ano yung Omega 8, sabihin mo: “because you’re good for my heart.” 

2. Mangolekta ka ng isang dosenang hanger na libre mong nakukuha tuwing nagpapa-dry clean ka. Tapos, sa bawat hanger, isulat mo: “I miss hanging out with you.” 

3. Instead of roses, kuha ka ng tissue paper sa banyo ng school mo. Gawin mong tissue paper roses. Gawa ka ng isang dosena. Pag-abot mo, sabihin mo, “Ganito kalinis ang pag-ibig ko sa’yo.” 

4. Bili ka ng tetra pack ng mantikang Minola. Tapos bilugan mo yung “with Omega 8.” Hindi na siya magtatanong kung bakit. 

5. Bigyan mo ng ice cream cone. Dapat cone lang at walang ice cream. Pag hinanap niya yung ice cream, sabihin mo, “natunaw na kakatitig sa’yo.” 

6. Bili ka ng sandosenang box ng crayola. Kolektahin mo lahat ng black. Lagay mo sa isang box ng crayola. Sa likod, isulat mo: “Walang kulay ang buhay kung wala ka.” 

7. Bigyan mo siya ng mumurahing bumbilya. Alam mo na siguro by this time kung ano ang isasagot pag tinanong niya kung bakit. (para sa mga hindi maka-“gets”, kapag tinanong ka, ang sagot mo ay, “sapagkat, ikaw lamang ang tanging ilaw at liwanag sa buhay ko”, o kaya naman ay, “you light up my life”… 

8. I-text mo siya ng: “Hindi tayo tao, hindi tayo hayop, hindi tayo halaman. Bagay tayo. Bagay!” 

9. Bigyan mo siya ng calling card ng MMDA. Sa likod, isulat mo “para pag nagkabanggaan ang puso natin.” 

10. Padalhan mo ng Happy Meal pero huwag mong ibibigay yung libreng laruan. Paghinanap niya, sabihin mo: “Ako yung freebie, at ikaw yung meal na nagpapahappy sa’kin.” 

11. Sunugin ang kanyang bahay at padalhan ng hallmark card: "aanhin mo pa ang bahay mo, kung matagal ka nang nakatira sa puso ko" 

12. Pagatapos sunugin ang kanyang bahay, padalhan siya ng isang box ng posporo, Guitar brand. unahan ang kanyang galit at sabihin, "ayan ang posporo na ginamit ko sa pagsunog ng iyong bahay, match na tayo" 

13. Sa kalagitnaan ng isang malupit na bagyo, pasalubungan sya ng "salbabida", wag payong, o mainit na mami. Pag nagtanong bakit? ang isagot mo ay " ayaw kong malunod ka sa pag mamahal ko." 

14. Pag pumayag na siyang makipagdate, dalhin mo siya sa canteen at huwag bibitawan ang kamay. Pag tinanong niya kung bakit, ituro mo yun sign na “don’t leave your valuables unattended” 

Handang tumulong lagi, 

-Bob Ong-

when a man loves a woman

Michael Green to Alice (Andy Garcia / Meg Ryan)


Michael Green: My wife is an alcoholic. Best person I ever met. She has 600 different smiles. They can light up your life. They can make you laugh out loud, just like that. They can even make you cry, just like that. That's just with her smiles. You'd have to see her with her kids. You'd have to see how they look at her, when she's not looking. To think of all the things she lives through, and I couldn't help her. 
Alice Green: Maybe helping wasn't your job. 
Michael Green: Well, it wasn't. See I love her. And I tried everything, except really listening, really listening, and that's how I left her alone. I was so ashamed of that, and I couldn't even tell her. Maybe if I tell her she'd love me anyway. 
Alice Green: Or more. She would have loved you even more. I think you should tell all this stuff to your wife. 


Wow! i just so loved the movie ;)
i cried,
i laughed,
i smiled,
i loved! ;)

time to be happy is now ;)

There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. 

Happiness is a journey, not a destination!!

So, treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time ... and remember that time waits for no one ...


So stop waiting until you finished school,
until you go back to school,
until you start a work,
until you left your work,
until you find a new work,
until you get married,
until Friday night,
until you've had a drink,
until you've sobered up,
until Sunday morning,
until you found a new work,
until you lose ten pounds,
until you gain ten pounds,
until you have kids,
until your kids leave the house,
until you retire,
until you get a new car or home,
until your car or home is paid off,
until you are tired,
until you die,
until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.


The time to be happy is - NOW!


"Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching."



Attend to your own. Become clear about who you really are. Uncover the enormous warehouse of beliefs you've acquired from other people and our culture and challenge those beliefs. Transform your self-doubt into acceptance, your self-pity into self-actualization, your anxiety into peace, your confusion into happiness, and your fears into love. 


Individual, personal happiness. One by one by one. It starts with you.
The dream is hopeful. I believe in the dream, and in you.

On Love and Loving

On Love and Loving

There’s a so much efforts to keep it up and going.

As there will be ups and downs in between.

It’s up to you when to stay and when to leave.

When you can’t live without that person then better stay.

Spontaneity and consistency should be there.

Spontaneity in the sense that it adds up excitement and something new.

Eliminating boredom, trying out something new.

Consistency that there should be spontaneity.

Practice patience, love each other more.

Don’t fight and be cold to one another.

It doesn’t matter who initiated the fight

Be the first to forgive and asks for sorry

There’s a great sense of relief when the fight is over.

Just don’t give up.

Remember that every relationship needs to go through series of fights, arguments, jealousy.

These will be your strengths in the future.

our anniversary

i forgot to update the celebration of our first year, though not totally, coz I intent to finish the scrap book which will I give to Marc as soon as i have it finished. for, i am procrastinating again that's why, the supposedly pictures that to be printed are still soft copies in my sd card. I've really been busy the past days and i believe that's an acceptable excuse. I'm really eyeing to finish the scrapbook soon. Maybe, with the coming weekends, because there are no scheduled trips yet ;)

it's been a while

wow! it's been a while, haven't been visited my blog.

25 things to do

It's been a while that i haven't visited the site.so,i ended up doing the 25 things to - this is supposedly 25 things to do in a relationship, because some were not applicable to.

1. Be inlove - first and foremost, be inlove. There were maybe fights and arguments, but what's important is that, you'll end up being inlove after the fight.

2. Be silly and look funny - just go with the flow and enjoy the experience. One of those that is being ignored. 

3. Be like a kid - bring out the kid in you ;) 

4. Be appreciate, thankful and grateful

5. Be an explorer - try something new, you might enjoy it. Travel with people you don't know, it adds up excitement.

6. Be a traveler - Go to places that you don't know and be friends with people that you dont know.

7. Be a friend - Offer something to people you don't know, be friends with them

8 and Be friends with them - meet new friends no matter what their beliefs are ;)

9. Be hopeful that you will bump into each other again.. somewhere.. sometime :)

10. Be sweet at all times - what you give, you'll receive...

11. Be the one to reach out - Reach out with the family

12. Surprise everyone

13. Do crazy things

14. Explore the places - gain as much as you can.

15. Work with what you have - be resourceful, don't just whine and complain, work with what you have.

16. Laugh out loud and don't care what other people would say

17. DOn't mind what others will say, just go on.

18. Be spontaneous, it's sweeter than a scripted one.

19. Be beautiful all the time, always ready to take the shot ;)

20. Just smile, so what if they knew what you've done last night ;)

21. Chill out and enjoy the company of friends.

22. It doesn't mean that you're in a relationship, you can't do what you want. Just go on.

23. But make sure that when you go home, don't forget your sweety ;)

24. Ask a stranger to take a photo of you ;)

25. Once in a while, don't be the star of the photo.

Ten things MUST do in 2011

As a custom, every start of the year, we are all inspired in creating a list of our goals, our things to do, and of course our resolutions for the year.


I have my version too, of my things to do for 2011. I really intent to do all these stuff, though these are not quite easy. So help me God ;)


I haven't thought of the last three goals, will include it in the list as soon as I realize what would add substance to myself (at talgang substance).


1. Develop and sell atleast five android apps
2. Engage myself to gym or enroll to belly dancing tutorial
3. Resign from Chartis and find a better company ;)
4. Of course, travel inside and outside Philippines
5. Save, save and save! whoa! Religiously save atleast 10% percent of my salary, take note this is MONTHLY.
6. Be closer to my family, friends and loved ones.
7. Stay fit and sexy ;) Maintain 26-27 waistline! haha! goodluck to me!
8. Sharpen the saw - just added now (01-03-11)


By the end of 2011, I'll go back to this post and check if these goals were accomplished.
