when my skies aren't so blue but overcast with dark clouds, when im running out of things to be thankful for, i just read through my mobile phone's inbox.

message 1: from Babe (03/09/05 - 8:32pm)
Id rather be beside u in a storm, than safe and warm by myself. Lab u.
(oks na din kahit walang originality, its the thought that counts.)

message 2: from DTV-franz (03/12/05 - 8:16am)
Sum1 askd me 2 dscrbe.. Y_O_U in 2 words.. she xpctd me 2 answr d words... "THE BEST", bt i didnt! I juz smply smyled and said: "NOTHING COMPARES" ;)
(franz is my part of the very first team of agents i've handled as a team lead. one of my best agents and good friend in the program.)

message 3: from Babe (03/22/05 - 9:46pm)
I love u so much baby!
(ay natutunaw akowwww)

message 4: from DTV-Jhen (03/23/05 - 10:15pm)
Sbi nla kpg ang isang bgay nwla sau my mgandang kapalit YAP! tntanggap ko un. pro kpag ikw ang nwla un ang hndi ko mttanggap, kc kw ung wlang kapalit!!
(Jhen is part of my wave 10 agents, she sent me this message when i was tasked to handle a different team.)

message 5: from DTV-Allen (04/04/05 - 7:11pm)
Somewhere in the course of life, you'll learn about yourself and realize that there should never be regrets but a life-long appreciation of the choices you made. Be Happy Always, Bluerlyn! =)
(Allen was also my agent before. I helped him prepare for his interview as a subject matter expert. He's really good and humble no wonder he's now an s.m.e./transition coach.)

message 6: from DTV-Chachi (04/06/05 - 11:51am)
Mother, nasabi smen ni chel na may opening na tl posts..i dunno i i shd apply or not.. prang i want 2 grab d opportunity wyl its available but naiicip ko rn kng kya ku nb or d pko mshdong hinog 4 d responsibilities.. f evr gs2 ko sa email mpnta kc gs2 ku kaw mksama.. iba kc wen ur arnd.. kw kc ngmomotivate skn mgwrk ng mbuti.. very supportiv ka smen.. msrap mgwrk pag lam mu cnusuportahan ka ng sup.. try kko pmasok ng maaga pra makapgkwento.. =) loveu mommy erls.
(Chachi is also part of wave 1 and one of my best agents. like Allen and Franz she is also one of the transition coaches now.)

message 7: from DTV-Majo (04/08/05 - 1:18pm)
Mommy tnx 4 d words nainspire ako tnx, d prn sure f il go 4 it, pro tnx tlaga tnx 4 being a pillar of strength. nyt sleep na me.
(Majo is one of my agents from wave 3.2, admittedly she's one of my weaker agents, i coached her before on her areas for improvement and now im proud to say that she is being delegated more responsibilities by her new team leader. Likewise her stats is really very impressive.)

message 8: from DTV-Allen (04/12/05 - 4:54pm)
Talaga Ma'am? Thank you. =) I dont really think i have a ghost of a chance of getting the position. I can accept failure but what i cant and wont stand for is not trying. Thank you so much for believing in me bluerlyn. =) take care din ma'am. God bless!
(He sent me this after I told him i'd be more than glad to process him again if he decides to apply for the team lead post.)

message 9: from DTV-Abby (04/21/05 - 2:57pm)
Hi Mumy doggy... miss na kita, d na tayo umalis... newei tnx 4 d testi... i hope 2 c u soon... tke cre...
(Abby is an agent of my co-tl and one of the clowns in the program. She is begging me to take her to be part of my team. hehe kasi bawal maingay sa team ni mark sa ken deadma lang. as for the pet name, there's this one website wherein you have to key in ur name and then it will generate the pet name ur better half should call you. as for her its puppy and since nagpapaampon sya sa kin, she calls me mommy doggy.)

message 10: from DTV-Chachi (04/22/05 - 12:43pm)

I mis u.. tc & njoy ur leave.

message 11: from DTV-Ronch (04/23/05 - 1:43pm)
Mother! Mis na kita! =)
(Ronch is my pretty agent now that never fails to turn heads whenever we hang out. My divisoria buddy and soon 2 b boxing buddy. Hehe humabol pa sa post ko tong batang to.)

these are the things that makes me smile. when im at my wits end and is very much tempted to submit a resume to another company, i get to restrain myself by reading these messages in my inbox. somehow, working for this company is still worth it.

back to manila...

quite tired. had fun. sorry am feeling quite laconic. will give details the next time i log in. just finished going thru other blogs. am hoping 2 stretch my vacation, huhu im sure it will be another eternity before ill be allowed another vacation. hopefully for our 5th anniversary. oh well gtg. as for the pix will download tomorrow.

Tuesday, April 19, 2005

im enjoying every bit of my paid time off... although i havent got the chance to leave the city, did a couple of things the last few days. sunday went to megamall to meet up with my dad and my bro. just walked around and i finally bought my boxing gloves. we ate and then i stayed at netopia.

monday, i went to divisoria with people from the office, my agents - ronch and faye and my kikay boss - mel. the ultimate shopaholic my boss is delighted that her 2.5k went a long long way. then after lunch faye and her mom left to meet up her sis-in-law and the 3 of us went around scouting for things we will be buying the next payday. hehe afterwards ronch went to her aunt's condo at ayala west grove while mel and i went to babe's apartment to change clothes. my ever kikay and hopeless romantic boss asked me to hang out at g4 and watch a movie. we then watched the wedding date and we were both laughing hysterically the whole time. at the end of the movie we were both pensive and lost in our own thoughts.

today, just stayed at home and did a lot of accessories. yup, i make my own, hehe translation - kuripot ako. but of course i also sell them. kaya lang inis mga tao sa office gusto lahat hingi! oh well!!!

and then tomorrow, babe and i are going to a really nice resort in laguna. i had to say goodbye to pagudpod and baguio as i will really need to save money for june, since i will be sending my niece (from my cousin) to high school. hopefully she makes it at ust educ high.

will be uploading the pics when we get back. till here hope u enjoy ur week bloggers!

finally...

whew! at last ill have a one whole week all to myself. i can finally let my hair down and bum around. try to pretend that im a school girl again with a summer vacation. oh well the irony of life, i remember how i used to wish to grow up fast and go to work and live my own life. i wanted so much to say goodbye to terror professors, school works and late night reviews and start earning my own money. now that im there i wanted to be a student again.

going back to my one week paid time off, im thinking whether i'd go to baguio or i'd hit the beach. down side to going to baguio is that ive been there last summer already and i wanted to do something else. as for going to the beach, i actually bought 2 sets of 2 piece already but im way too bloated right now. yup im damn bloated. dang! being in the morning shift and in the email team made such a pig out of me. well actually we noticed that everyone who transferred to the morning shift is bloating. i think it has less stress factors plus everything is opened, malls, fastfood, deliveries, thus im 10 lbs. heavier. yup you read that right, im a PIG! sorry got lost in my rantings over being such a glutton. anyhow, given my current state of piggyness i wont be able to use my bathing suits. damn it! ill have to think of somewhere to go for that one week vacation, it will be another eternity before i am once again allowed to take a paid time off.

well enjoy the weekend guys!

this is my new baby - coffee

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

she's still with her mom, who happens to be owned by hanagirl and i will be able to take her home by the end of may. im sooooo excited. although im quite worried that Pebbles wouldn't like the idea of sharing the attention she's lavishly showered by everyone from the time i took her home. im praying she would like the idea of having someone to play with.

look at coffee's paws, they're so huge. migosh, im sure this baby has a big appetite. but im sure it'll all be worth. look at those sad eyes, they're just so lovable. gosh cant wait for the end of may. besides i can now walk pebbles since coffee will be huge when she grows up - she's a labrador. so that means i dont have to be run and carry pebbles everytime a pack of stray dogs would follow us when i walk her out. oh well that will be all for now.

will be installing the commenting feature some other time. i was at my wits end last tuesday night trying to figure it out. unfortunately haloscan wont go through so i have to look for another. gtg. byers!

When a GIRL is quiet,
Millions of things are running in her mind.

When a GIRL is not arguing,
She is thinking deeply.

When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of
questions,
She is wondering how long you will be
around.

When a GIRL answers "i'm fine" after a
few
seconds,
She is not at all fine.

When a GIRL stares at you,
She is wondering why you are lying.

When a GIRL lays on your chest,
She is wishing for you to be hers forever.

When a GIRL calls you everyday,
She is seeking for your attention.

When a GIRL wants to see you everyday,
She wants to be pampered.

When a GIRL sms's u everyday,
She wants you to reply at least once.

When a GIRL says I love you,
She means it.

When a GIRL says that she can't live
without you,
She has made up her mind that you are
her
future.

When a GIRL says "i miss you",
No one in this world can miss you more
than that

she's confused right now. why is it that you would always choose to resurface when she leasts expects you to do so and mostly when there is trouble in her paradise. she thought she has forgotten about you and has dismissed all thoughts of having feelings for you. she thought it was just an illusion, but how come it is haunting her now. now that she thought she is perfectly contented with her life and that she knew you will never feel the same way about her.

although you'd often tell her stories about the newest girl who caught your fancy, she never really is bothered about it knowing that you still held on to the last love of your life, who has already closed the door on you for good. but now that you told her about someone you met and is feeling the same way about you, how come she feels her world is being pulled in every direction? she thought it will be okay initially, no wonder she was even joking around when you were relaying the story to her, but after that, she went out with a bunch of friends but her mind is floating. she was there with them but her thoughts were with you. wishing one last time that she at least had a chance. but alas, you don't regard her in the same way. yes you are very vocal about her being attractive and all that but the magic isn't there. what is it about you that she cannot forget? i guess i'll never know.

and as for her i have this article to share.

NO PLACE FOR LOVE

by: IronAngel


I have no right to demand anything from you. No right to get hurt and no right to hope. In the onset, we have made it clear. Emotions have no place in this relationship, assuming that it can even be called as such. Initially, I had no qualms about that because I bore no illusions for the future. How could I? When the circumstance under which we met can never be considered as a breeding ground for long lasting relationships, more so, of honest and unconditional love. It was justifiably a circumstance of two people, players as society so judgingly call it, conveniently brought together for reasons definitely other than love. It is not in my place to complain. I have brought this upon myself and I will not succumb to the underlying truth that I may not be as invulnerable as I like to believe I am. But karma must be starting to take its toll on me. What I promised never to feel is now gradually tearing the life out of me. And I am just pathetically beginning to realize that I am no more immune to love than I am to pain.
The first time I felt the waves of reality hit me, I desperately retreated in the shadows of denial. I was sure that whatever it was I was feeling was just a fabrication of my supposedly non-existent mushy and emotional persona. I consistently, but unsuccessfully, fought the initial symptoms of that paradoxical state of being in love. I refused to capitulate to the one thing I have long ago ceased to believe in. But what I shouldn't have forgotten is the fact that however much determined I will myself to be, my resolve will forever be puny to that of fate. And my helplessness is slowly killing me.

I hate the thought of losing this inner battle with my emotions but denial is now proving to be a useless refuge for sudden realizations and for bitter truths. Truths that remind me so of my weakness and my ineptitude to control my feelings.

Right now I? starting to accept the idea that this pain I am feeling could possibly be more of my undoing than yours. You didn't ask me to fall for you. Incidentally, we both agreed on doing otherwise. Only, my heart decided to betray me now, and with you, of all people.

I have never asked for love from anyone in my life. I have never taken any steps for anyone to love me. It was always given freely and I never once thought someone would deny me that privilege, more so, that I would even care if it were. I guess I will never be able to fathom completely what you have done to me. I will never be able to readily understand how one slip of a man can change what I have chosen NOT to believe in.

So here I am desperately wanting and yet determined to somehow fight an obviously losing battle. I am trying not to take my situation against you. In the onset, you have made it clear. Emotions have no place between us.

I have no right to complain. No right to get hurt and no right to hope. I have no right to ask anything from you?

And God help me, I won't.
