happy birthday :)

2-2-12

i feel so loved :)

good people after all

i am sorry if i lashed out on my two coworkers here! hahaha just ranting siguro. wala naman si jake dito. pero u know what they are good people! they have a lot of things that they could be proud of. everyone has their own flaws. i guess writing my rants who could be read by anybody is my flaw. but to counter that, i am saying that i am happy still to be with this people.

thoms is responsible himself. he takes work and does not pass work always on others. he knows he has to have tasks to do. he pushes back when we are already overwhelmed with work. as a friend he tells you and advises you who are the people u need to stay away or guard yourself against. i am thinking we are on the same boat and sees me as a responsible co-worker too. that is good.

ron-nell on the other hand is a real gentleman. he helps u with luggage. he will give u his coat when u are cold (ayikee is dianne-duran to!!) ohaoha. he's super kind and generous--andaming libre. and today, he initiated our free day passes for today and tomorrow. yep it is my bday today and thom's bday tomorrow. ayos. he's open-minded on most things and calm and really doesn't conclude if he knows it is gossip. on normal topics and food, he's fun to be with. :)

olryty. cheers to being human, making mistakes and appreciating the beauty and goodness in everyone :)

a happy birthday to me. :)

spirituality

wow i wanted to answer that guy about philo lessons. haha. he is so religious. he is so passionate that he is so geeky -- a nerd at this. this being a bible fundamentalist. yep. ron-nell na--za--re--a. sinabi tlga eh no. i hope he realizes how close minded he is. seems he just accepts whatever is in the bible. haha. not bad pero parang nagiging diyos nya na din yung bible nya.

- i hope he won't try convince us to read the bible.. though maybe it is okay. but i hope he just accepts that not everybody believes word per word what it says. and that not reading it makes us unholy people.

- i would want to say that it is possible the bible may be subjective. it may appear consistent but still. it was written by many hands. it may speak truths and it may not. i hope u be open to that possibility. otherwise let's agree to disagree.

- please don't bash other religions. u have ur own but don't trash other's. try to know their differences and similarities. but respect their beliefs. we can live in harmony ya know. yes, we respect life and that means not killing anyone. we can say we are against that about islam but im sure there is some context that we may not have understood or there are also religious islam groups that misunderstood the purpose of jihad. but don't say this or that religion is wrong because you say it is not in the bible.. in your bible. there are harmless practices ... which are part of their culture that needs to be respected and that means you avoiding saying that their religion and/or their practices are wrong. otherwise, that statement would be in everybody's mouth. and please do not say how your religion is not a cult and saying how other religions are a cult. it may be your opinion or belief, but be careful when saying it when you are with "non-believers".

- i admire u for being so articulate during conference calls and knowing what words to say in a very fluent manner to a client or co-worker. but please choose words wisely or maybe choosing your thoughts wisely because you imply something that may irritate somebody else. as if attacking their beliefs. as if you feel we are attacking yours. when we ask questions, we are curious. but we don't need super serious answers to the extent that you are quoting every little line from the bible to explain to us what you want us to listen to or hear. you also explain some analogies to daily activities which some are good and simple. but don't expect us to be convinced immediately or at all. we are just sharing information. oh, yes, we are not seeking for the "answers". we have faith in God and He will present to us in His way. maybe we should ask. but not right now. not as passionate as you maybe. it does not mean we are "inconsistent", apathetic or insincere. don't accuse of that. in our state of mind, we are doing good.

- please do not judge us when we say heaven is not how you say it is. we may have different views of what heaven is and of judgement day. this is a super long discussion pa. hayz so much to say and express and share. but we know too that even with diff views of heaven or diff names of God, there must be a superior being than us humans. hahaha. that didn't make sense ata. hahaha. anyway, bottomline, respect other people's beliefs. u may be christian and i am catholic. but we may be talking about the same God.

- crush pa naman kita. no worries alam ni jake. as if may gagawin ako sa iyo. ilovejake so much. yun, turned off MAJOR. haha. di lang ako makapaniwala na may tao palang close minded sa ganyan. mjo gusto ko tlga mang away knina. haha. more of being a little assertive about my ideas. but you don't listen. not just me but to lau and thoms. weird lang ung part din pla na u don't look at women who show skin more than others. hinuli ka pa ni thoms looking at the girls. and just admitted daw na napatingin ka. we are humans and bound to make mistakes. so forgiven un. di lang ako makapaniwala na kasalanan un...just looking at legs?! or just thinking of mejo bastos na thoughts? huwaaaat. whatever dude. hahaha. (nang-aaway na ako) kasalanan ba yun? we are free to think ha! that is imagination. we don't act upon our dirty thoughts and that is what makes us strong. we can turn away from temptation. db? isn't sin an act and not a thought? ano to movie ni tom cruise? (forgot that futuristic themed movie eh. basta ung hinuhuli ka for murder even when u r just thinking abt it. paranoid naman!). nako, sabi nila gusto ng mga babae maginoo pero mejo bastos. hahaha. di ka pasado dun. haha. learn to appreciate beauty naman. :) di naman porn eh. pno na ung mga nude photography or painting sessions db? art in the daily life of people ung mga nagpekpek shorts or bikini. look away but not all are that skimpy.

i want to say other things pa pero next time na lang. i just hope some event will happen to make you more or maybe me and others more open to other ideas. :) God bless! :)

sacre-coeur

you are so pretty. i hope to see u soon! air asia please email us our tickets immediately.

woolworths chocolates

i first encountered woolworths in south africa. just like nando's, they have it here in australia. i couldn't find the special biscuits which i forgot the name of... but they were the ones that are hard but you usually dip into hot chocolate or cafe and it softens. anyway...

woolworths seem to be much more sophisticated looking and sells more (linens, clothes, etc) in south africa than just being a supermarket here in aussieland. but maybe i haven't visited a woolworths store that does. anyhow,,

woolworths, along with other stores such as coles, usually have weekly sales. i bought again another batch of chocolates. as if the last batch was not enough. i just bought a few amounting to less than 24aud. around 1400pesos. hehe. (1aud = 43-45pesos)

so just to show u... :) whittakers is good says kas and ronnell. so i bought 2 of each at 3aud a piece. i hope they taste good :) maybe will share these with office friends. of course the pods too!

guylian cafe

lindt cafe was closed early so our next choice would be guylian. hurrah there was one in darling harbour so it was a short walk. yeheyyyyyyy! finally! :)

ronnell treated everyone to cakes! yey! yummy @12.50 per cake or more a! then 7.30 for each of our hot chocolates. nyahaha. sulit ang dinner. :) chocolate overload itech!!! sarappppp

facials by tower1

panalo to! hahahahahahaha. galing ni abby-sioco magpicture at magtantsa!

super funny!!!

kili kili power

sorry jake! iloveyou so much! and ur kilikili HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

naaliw ka masyado sa championship nila djokovic at nadal :) sayang sana nagmelbourne tayo db! hahaha :)

again, iloveyou :) pakasalan mo na ako? hahaha, sa paris ha! hahaha! :)

yehesss go live is on!

we officially completed data migration 10 (yes it is that many)!!! no more puyat days for us.

there were a few moments that i felt i was just a mignon, but i will just shove those feeligs away. i can't be super proud to say about my role here but i can say i am proud i survived the gruelling hours. hayyyyy. the work was not hard for me but the long hours were. i miss coding.

but just to share, somebody who is of a lower position is making the orders. yes, inuutusan nya ako. nang-uutos rin sya ng iba. it's not a big deal even though i already a senior (position) but sometimes he expresses how he finds a job for this person and that person. i would like to hear it if we were just friends and not co-workers. but listening to that rave of his just loses my respect for him. he's not a bad person or lead at this moment but that kind of thinking shows his arrogance. ang yabang! kala mo kung sino mang-utos. hindi maganda na narinig ko un. i now feel as if he feels superior when we are teammates and we should be partners and helping each other. not pushing orders. aaaargh. basta! i guess i too have to be conscious if i am doing it somebody else. or is this a senior-i-cant-be-touched mentality? (imbento ko to haha)

when i feel he is making-utos me (konyooooo), i don't look and just respond an un-enthusiastic "ok". basta may hindi tamang timpla sa pag-utos nya eh. minsan naman ok.

or maybe it is really the job--the type of task-- that i am going to do. wala kasing isip isip. nakakapurol ng utak tlga. hayz, i feel i don't use my skills in this role. naka-australia ka nga, pero walang silbi sa career mo to. i learned a few lessons here and there though but not enough. i am not wishing for a tough project (tough in the sense that i will be thinking and definitely not about extending hours daily). and i am thankful i was able to go to aussie. uber. but un. i felt down sometimes talaga. buti i kept my cool and focused on completing everything, plus the food!!! :) hahaha. you see, i am happy gain!

o my gosh i miss my car. i am able to laugh so hard or sing so loud when i am with bangie! or just laughing hard with friends. btw, i'll try not to be the clown and learn how to be intelligently humourous...may ganun bang word???

oryt, just thoughts. my dose of sadness and spark of happiness amidst it.

ingat!
