The "In-Betweens"

Napansin ko ang unti nang blogpost ko this December and so i thought of blogging what had kept me busy during these times.


Dec 15, 2009 Tue -1st night ng Simbang Gabi sa St. Mary's, nai-blog ko pa ito sa Simbang Gabi 2009.


Dec 16, 2009 Wed- 2nd night ng Simbang Gabi, present ulit kami ng mga busmates/friends ko. diretso ulit kami dun after office. Dun na din kumakain, ang daming filipino foods doon! as in! (eto lahat nang nakain namin: nilupak, lugaw, kwek-kwek, barbecue, banana cue, ube, leche flan, cassava cake, bibingka)


Dec 17, 2009 Thur- absent ako sa 3rd night ng Simbang Gabi :-( dahil sa Backstreet Boys in Dubai. :-) sabi ko sa mga kasama ko, make-up class na lang ako kinabukasan. :-)



Dec 18, 2009 Fri - off namin sa office. as promised, nag-attend ako ng early mass (make-up class). tapos, nagsimba ulit ako for the 4th night of Simbang Gabi. Nagkita-kita ulit kami ng aking mga busmates/friends now my simbang gabi buddies. :-)
Kinokunsensya nila ako pinagpalit ko daw ang simba sa BSB at nde daw counted yung make-up class ko. Actually, medyo na-guilty din ako kaya talagang pinilit kong makapagsimba ng 2 times for this day. Inisip ko na lang, naiintindihan naman NIYA ako. :-)



Dec 19, 2009 Sat- off ulit from office. tinawagan ako ng aking chilhood friend JS. kararating lang niya that day. kinuha siya ng ate nia. she's on a visit visa. sakto may tumawag sa kanya, for interview daw cia sa sharjah. i volunteered na samahan ko cia since meron pasok ate nia. Naligaw kami pero nakarating naman kami on time. hehe..Kaya lang it turned out agency lang pala yung tumawag sa kanya at kailangan pa magbayad para i-process ang papers (beware: hindi dapat magbayad sa mga agency, kasi mga client ang magbabayad sa kanila). Medyo nakipag-away pa ako kay kabayan at sinabing galing pa kami sa Dubai, sana man lang sinabi ang totoo. Parang panloloko kasi ang ginagawa nila thru misrepresentations, sinasabi nila na company sila pero ang totoo client pala nila ang mga ito..haaayyyy...inintindi na lang din namin si kabayan baka may quota din cia na dapat ma-meet pero sana lang naisip niya ang hirap na nararanasan din ng mga naghahanap ng trabaho.
Anyway, nag-enjoy naman kami ng aking kaibigan at nakapamasyal kami. Then, inaya ko siyang magsimba for the 5th night of Simbang Gabi. My special intention that night is "sana makahanap ang aking kaibigan ng gusto niyang work at sapat para sa pamilya niya sa Pinas."

Dec 20, 2009 Sun - Grabeh, may memory gap na ako! hindi ko maisip kung ano nangyari this day. Pero sure ako, nag-attend ako sa 6th night of Simbang Gabi with my busmates/friends ulit.

Dec 21, 2009 Mon - 7th night of Simbang Gabi. Nagtanong si Father, itaas daw ang kamay ng mga nakaka-kumpleto so far. Nagtaas ako ng kamay..hehe...:-)

Dec 22, 2009 Tue - 8th night of Simbang Gabi. Excited na mga kasama ko kasi malapit na daw naming makumpleto Ang Simbang Gabi. Sabi kasi, matutupad daw ang mga wishes mo pag nakumpleto mo ito.

Dec 23, 2009 Wed- 9th and final night of Simbang Gabi. Ang saya saya namin that night. Naramdaman ko bigla ang Christmas. Ang gaan gaan ng feeling ko. :-) Biruan nga namin ng mga simbang gabi buddies ko, parang bumait pa kami lalo..hehe...

Dec 24-25, 2009 Thurs & Fri - holiday sa office. busy sa paghahanda for our Noche Buena. Nai-blog ko pa ang pagbati ko sa Happy Birthday Jesus!.

Dec 26, 2009 Sat - off sa office. blank. feeling blue.

Dec 27-28, 2009 Sun & Mon- leave ako from office kasi kelangan namin ubusin ito dahil forfeited na ito next year. super emote pa rin. nagpunta sa consulate para kunin ang bago kong passport. nag-renew kasi ako last time. then, uwi na ulit sa bahay. emote ulit. walang kasawaang nag-chat sa Pinas.

Dec 29, 2009 Tue- back to work. sobrang busy. year-end closing. nag-gala kami ni PC after work, madami na ciang kwentong naipon about her lovelife sympre :-)...ako naman, i needed a break sa pag-eemote. lol.

Dec 30, 2009 Wed- busy pa din sa work. last working day namin for this year 2009. after work kanina, dumiretso kami ng aking mga busmates/officemates/friends sa KFC-Karama para i-fullfill ko ang napagkasunduan namin dati. I will blog about this very very soon with working title My Promises. :-)

Ang bilis nang araw! Malapit nang magbago ang taon. Malapit na din dumating ang aking inaantay. :-)

"Dear Lord, I pray for his safe flight & enjoyable journey tomorrow. Please guide him. Please keep him safe and sound."

Happy Birthday Jesus!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!

Backstreet Boys in Dubai!

OMG! They're So Back! BSB, I Heart You! :-)

@ Palladium Media City, 17 Dec 2009

From L to R: Brian, Howie, Nick & AJ

It was a dream come true seeing BSB in flesh! Me & my barkada (since mid 90's) were such a huge fan. But it was only this time that i got to have a close encounter with them. (pasensiya na sa mga barkada ko sa Pinas, nakalamang ako..hehe). Whooaah, i can still feel the excitement..i'm so lost for words. :-)

I was with RS, my officemate/friend that night, she's such a BSB fanatic too. we really had a great time. our teenage years had come back all at once. all we can say is that our long wait is over & it's definetely worth all the wait! :-)

Note:
BSB's concert is the 1st international concert i attended. i was so determined not to let the opportunity passed. it's like i can move mountains just to see them. haha. :-)

Simbang Gabi 2009

Nagsimula na kanina Ang Simbang Gabi sa St. Mary's Church. Maswerte ang mga Filipino dito sa Dubai dahil na-oobserve pa rin namin ang ganitong tradisyon kahit papaano. Kaya naman kahit napakalayo ng aming opisina ay pinilit naming makasama sa selebrasyon na ito. Sama-sama kami nina PC, MG, CR- lahat mga busmates/friends ko. May usapan sila na kukumpletuhin daw nila ang 9 days. Ako, ayokong mangako muna pero ita-try ko ding makumpleto ito. ( isang beses ko pa lang nakumpleto ang Simbang Gabi, ito ay noong Christmas 2007 dito din sa Dubai)

Isang Filipino ang Kura Paroko dito sa Dubai. Siya ay si Father Tomasito. Napaka-effective niyang pari. Sa kanyang misa, lahat ay gising at siguradong tatawa. Hindi matatawaran ang kanyang sense of humor. Bagay sa kanya yung salitang 'simple pero rock' :-)

Pero kanina kahit nagpapatawa siya, tumimo sa puso ko ang sinabi niya sa homily:
"Tungkol sa pagpapatotoo or pagiging witness ang sermon. Meron ba daw long distance parenting? Paano daw magiging magulang ang isang tao kapag malayo siya? Naaalala daw niya sina superman, batman at iba pang superheroes. Lahat lumaki na wala sa piling ng magulang kaya daw nde nila alam paano magsuot ng brief. :-("

Parang maiiyak ako kanina. Naalala ko ang nanay ko na nasa Pinas. Naiisip ko kelan pa kaya kami magkakasama ulit. Miss na miss ko na siya. Gusto kong maging mabuting anak sa kanya. Gusto ko ako naman ang magsilbi sa kanya. Gusto kong ipakita sa kanya kung gaano ko siya kamahal.

For The Love of Music & Gift Voucher :-)

It was raining hard yesterday. But it did not keep us from attending a Music Survey at Rotana Hotel in Zheikh Zayed Road from 6:30 pm to 10pm. This is the 2nd time we participated in a music survey, the 1st was in 2008. My partners in this kind of crime were RS, JM & SB- all are my officemates.

We had really fun listening to almost 5oo songs. It's very easy, what we just need to do is rate the songs according to our taste of music. They provided a radio-like tuner to which we could crank it up if we really like the song and crank it down if we don't (ratings is from o to 100).

But what made it more enjoyable is that we get to expose to other nationalities. Out of 100 participants, only the four of us were Filipinos. I was surprised to know that other nationalities also love music very much like most of Filipinos. There was this one Lebanese guy who really got carried away by most of the songs like he's dancing & singing in his chair with feeling. Haha. We were laughing hard secretly while watching him. His favorites were that of Madonna's as in he knows all the lyrics! (kakabilib at kakatuwa siya, napasaya niya kami ng bongang-bongga.hehe.)

And of course, what motivated us evenmore to join is because of the gift voucher. Lokohan namin, we braved the rain for the love of music & gift voucher. hehe :-)

Thanks RS! (sobrang busy ako kanina)

From the survey, i heard the song of Beyonce's Sweet Dreams which is now my current favorite. :-)

Note: I will try to upload Beyonce's Sweet Dreams next time (sana matutunan ko na kung paano mag-upload dito). Meantime, may we always have sweet dreams or beautiful nightmares hango ito sa kanta. Wish ko talaga, sana ako ngayong gabi. I WISH! :-)

Thanks mp3codes.org! uploaded on 19 Dec 2009 @ 11:16 am kaya lang ayaw mag-play. :-(

When Love Begins...

It's 11:33 pm, just got home. After attending the 5pm mass at St. Mary's Church, i and a friend decided to go to Burjuman Centre and had our longest conversation about her LOVElife ever! I guess, this is a girl thing. We just love to talk about the feeling over and over again.



I already blogged her in my previous post. She's a friend who met her love and inspiration thru online chatting. And today, she confirmed that it is official. He is now her boyfriend. OMG! My reactions are a BIG WHATTTT!!!!!?!!! Followed by..Is this really happening to you? Then ended with...i just want you to be happy. :-)



I had a great time listening to her endless updates about her newfound love and inspiration. And for the very first time, i heard her sing a song "One Hello" . This is the movie soundtrack of When Love Begins played by Aga Muhlach & Anne Curtis, hence the title of this post. :-)



It is very rare to find TRUE LOVE here. In my statistics, there are more sad endings rather than happy endings here :-(. I told her this statistics. I know I'm so KJ but i want her to guard her feelings & to always be in control. My prayer is that she and her boyfriend would really be the ONE TRUE LOVE for each other.

She assured me that she knows what she's getting into. I need not worry for her eyes are open just like what i advised her. :-)


Disclaimer:
i hope this is not an invasion of your privacy, friend. i'll let you read this one day, just so you can tell me what is private or not. parang sobrang personal na yata ito. i made an effort naman i finished this post at 1:53 am . wala lang, anticipated appeal ko:-)

Tidbits

Do You Know?

1) though i am publicly blogging i don't want my friends & those who personally know me to read my blog. i made some precautionay measures to prevent this from happening. i did not give my blogsite or blog name to them. i also 'google searched' my blog & i 'successfully'did not found it. so i was convinced that i could still be anonymous. i also stop mentioning what i'm blogging for the day so they won't be curious about it (sometimes, i'm getting paranoid akala ko yung sinasabi ng friend ko related sa mga blog ko..hehe). i should have never mentioned about my blogging to my friends, but i can't blame myself i was so excited & happy. I wanted to share these to my friends.

last night, i was about to start to blog when AB (a cousin & housemate) told me that she's currently reading a blog titled "The Secret Keeper". i felt cold, i knew instantly that it was my blog she was reading. i have a vivid memory on all my blog titles. she told me she found the site on her laptop. (it was a carelessness on my part, i have typed my URL. i forgot that it could be access through internet history). she told me she never knew it was my blog. it turned out she's following it whenever she has time. haha. we were both laughing. she had discovered my elusive blog. to my satisfaction, she allowed me to delete the internet history on her laptop. hehe. i told her 'ayokong mawalan o masira ang aking bagong career'. i asked her 'wag na nia hanapin ito'. naawa cguro sa akin, she promised nde na..hehe...kaya tuloy ang blogging. :-) thanks ate AB!

of course, i would like to know what's her feedback/comment about my blog since she had read it. she told me, 'MAGANDA' daw especially stories about... mentioning several titles & contents. The reason why she followed it. Haha. Natuwa naman ako sympre. :-)

2) i have a closed friend who met her inspiration via on-line chatting. they decided to meet (in personal) after one month of knowing each other on-line. now, they are playing sweet music together. i'm really happy for my friend because i can tell she's happy and inspired.

this friend of mine is really 'tahimik', but love could really make the world go round. she's now the one talking and i was the one listening. she talks about him over & over again. sometimes, out of nowhere she would mentioned things about him. OMG! my friend is in love!

in one of our recent 'bonding moments', she seriously asked my opinion about it. i told her to take it slowly. savour this good moment. let herself experience the joy of being in love. kilalanin muna niya nang mabuti ito. i added this is a critical stage, she must open her eyes widely & let her heart & mind agree on whatever she sees. i trust her judgement. :-)

3) someone who's really very close to me and i love so much might visit me here in Dubai this Dec. sana matuloy. :-)

Matutuloy Ba Ang Pasko?

Malapit na ang pasko. Pag nasa ibayong dagat ka at malayo sa pamilya, sigurado feeling 'homesick' ka na naman. Naiisip mo, ang saya saya na sa Pinas sa panahong ito. Samantalang ikaw, eto ka pa rin pilit na kinakapa ang sarili para maramdaman ang diwa at saya ng Pasko kahit papaano.

Huwag malungkot. Don't fret, nde ka nag-iisa. Madami tayo actually. Lahat tayo gusto makasama ang ating pamilya sa Pinas sa araw ng Pasko. Pero ganyan talaga ang buhay, kailangan kung minsan magsakripisyo.

Share ko itong kantang ito. Gumagaan ang pakiramdam ko pag naririnig at kinakanta ko ito. Naniniwala akong sapat na SIYA ang kasama natin para maging masaya tayo.

Tuloy na Tuloy Pa Rin Ang Pasko
by Apo Hiking Society

Ngunit kahit na anong mangyari
Ang pag-ibig sana'y maghari
sapat nang si Hesus ang kasama mo
Tuloy na tuloy pa rin ang pasko

Melason Fever

Grabeh, nakakakilig talaga si Jayson and Melai of PBB. Lahat kami dito sa haws kinikilig sa mga 'moments' nilang dalawa. Tomorrow, extended pa ang kilig na ito sa ofis namin. Maka-Melason din kami dun (lalu na kaming dalawa ni RS). For sure, matatagalan na naman kami sa canteen for our lunch break dahil sa kwentuhan. :-)

Katatapos lang namin manood ngayon sa TFC kaya nakangiti pa ako habang sinusulat ko ito. Naalala ko pa ang kakulitan ni Jayson kay Melai and vice versa. Pero sobra ang kilig kagabi dahil ipinalabas na ang pag-akyat ng ligaw ni Jayson kay Melai. Ang cute ni Jayson...(sigh) :-)

At first parang duda pa kami kay Jayson sa intensyon niya kay Melai pero ngayon grabeh, naniniwala na kami sa kanya. Ramdam namin ang kanyang sinseridad. Sobrang nakakakilig talaga sila. Dinaig pa ang mga romantic movies. Ang cute nilang dalawa together. Ang sweet ni Jason....haaaayyy.. :-)

Salamat sa youtube para sa video nilang ito:

Panaginip

Ayon sa Wikipedia, ang Panaginip ay ang pansariling karanasan ng mga guni-guning imahen, tunog/tinig, pag-iisip o pakiramdam habang tulog, kadalasang di kusa.





Binasa ko ang lahat na nakasaad dito, pero wala akong nakita or walang binanggit na panaginip habang gising. :-) Tungkol kasi dito ang gusto kong sulatin ngayon. Madalas kasing mangyari sa akin ito lalu na pag ako ay nag-iisa.



Dahil sa nalalapit na ang pasko, napapadalas ang aking mga panaginip. Nasa Pinas na daw ako. Kumpleto daw kaming lahat ng aming pamilya. Masayang-masaya daw ako kasi lumaki na din ang pamilya namin. Tatlo lang kasi kaming magkakapatid. Ang dalawa kong kapatid ay pareho nang may asawa ngayon. Meron na din akong tatlong cute na pamangkin. Naghahabulan at naglalaro ang mga pamangkin ko sa aming bakuran. Samantalang kaming mga grown-ups (kasama ang aming nanay sympre) nasa balkonahe kami nagkukuwentuhan habang pinapanood ang mga bata. Inaantay din namin ang pagdaan ng prusisyon. Malapit lang ang bahay ng kuya ko pero dahil pasko buong pamilya niya sa amin daw matutulog ngayon. Yun ay kung matutulog kami kasi ang dami naming nakahandang activities para sa noche buena. Sobrang miss na miss na din kasi namin ang isa't isa.


Napagmasdan kong mabuti ang aking nanay habang nakaupo siya. Meron na siyang mapuputing buhok ngayon, simbolo iyon ng kanyang pagsisikap upang mapalaki kaming magkakapatid ng maayos. Kinaya niyang maging malakas at matapang para sa amin sa kabila ng kahirapan ng buhay. Maaga kaming naulila sa ama. Ang aming nanay ang mag-isang nagtaguyod at nagdisiplina sa aming magkakapatid. Siya ang pinagkukunan namin ng lakas. Sa kanyang mga mata ay nakikita ko ang kanyang kasiyahan. Naisip ko, siguro very proud siya sa aming mga anak niya kasi lahat kami magkakasundo at puro mababait na anak. (naniniwala talaga ako na mababait ang aking mga kapatid, sympre kasama pati ako.lol.)

Tuwang-tuwa ang mga pamangkin ko nang dumaan ang prusisyon sa tapat ng bahay namin. Lumiwanag ang buong paligid dahil sa sinindihan nina kuya ang mga 'fountain'. Tangan tangan naman namin ang mga lusis. Yung umiilaw lang, takot kasi ako sa paputok.

Pagkatapos ng prusisyon, noche buena na! Hmmmm..ang dami naming hinanda ni nanay kasama ng aking mga hipag. Kung dati rati taga-kain lang ako, ngayon nakikialam na ako sa kusina. Matured na daw kasi ako. At tsaka interesado na kasi akong malaman ngayon ang mga secret recipes ng aking mahal na ina. Merong lechon (yung ulo lang ng baboy), embutido, chicken roll, cordon blue, barbecue, baked macaroni, fruit salad, sympre hindi mawawala ang nakaugaliang quezo de bola at ang home-made kalamay (kakanin) at marami pang iba. Pareho kami ng nanay ko na ayaw na ayaw yung nasasayang ang pagkain. Sa kanya ko pala minana yun. Teka lang, nde naman namin kailangan ubusin lahat kasi kinabukasan ng gabi pupunta kaming lahat sa lola ko, nanay ng nanay ko. Yearly, doon ginagawa ang family reunion. Grabeh, tiyak na masaya din yun. To date, nde ko na alam kung ilan na kaming miyembro ng pamilya sa side ng mother. Meron na ngang apo sa talampakan ang lola ko. Besides, 14 na magkakapatid sila nanay at take note lahat sila sa ay naka-base sa isang barangay lang. Naalala ko tuloy yung Christmas ko (2004) before ako magpunta ng Dubai, ako ang naatasang maging organizer ng aming reunion. Isa sa pinakamasayang reunion daw namin sabi ng mga tita ko. Ginawa kasi naming interactive ang mga games namin. Tapos meron pa akong mga tito at tita na likas na komedyante kaya masaya talaga.

Habang kumakain kami, tuloy ang kwentuhan sa aming buhay-buhay. Nagsalita ang aking nanay na masaya daw siya dahil kumpleto kaming mag-anak.. Nagpapasalamat siya sa Maykapal at hindi niya kami pinababayaan. Pero meron pa daw siyang isang hiling sa Diyos, yun ay makapag-asawa na din ako at sana daw yung mabait din. Hala, sabi ko na nga ba at isisingit na naman ni nanay yun. Tawanan lahat..

Haaay, mis na mis ko na talaga ang aking pamilya sa Pinas. Sa darating na Pasko, 5 christmases ko na silang nde nakakasama. Ngayon pa lang hinahanda ko na ang sarili ko. Sigurado, dadalawin na naman ako ng 'christmas blues'. Pinapakalma ko na lang ang sarili ko, di bale next year sa bakasyon ko (plan date is Aug), request ako sa nanay ko kung pwedi mag-noche buena na kami kahit nde pa Pasko. :-)

Be Aware: Hepatitis B in the UAE

"Hepatitis B is a disease caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) which infects the liver of hominoidae, including humans, and causes an inflammation called hepatitis. The acute illness causes liver inflammation, vomiting, jaundice and—rarely—death. Chronic hepatitis B may eventually cause liver cirrhosis and liver cancer—a fatal disease with very poor response to current chemotherapy. The infection is preventable by vaccination. Transmission of hepatitis B virus results from exposure to infectious blood or body fluids containing blood.

-from Wikipedia




I have never been afraid of this disease until I heard the bad news from a friend here in Dubai. :-( The health authority detected that he is infected by Hepa B. And according to the new UAE Law on 1st of July 2008, this is one of the deportable diseases ( others are HIV, TB, Hepa C & Syphilis). A medical test is required and performed before issuance of any residence visa (new/renewal). My friend transferred to another company thus, had his medical test for visa requirement. He was not aware that he had this disease. He's practicing a clean & healthy living. He exercises everyday. He constantly plays tennis. He regularly visit his doctors but his focus is more on his high blood and cholesterol level since these are the most common illness of his age. He's in his late forties.

What's saddening me is that he's been working here for more than 10 years. He was able to get his family from the Philippines and resides here. His children are also studying here. He had managed to settle his family here all this time. And one disease could & will change his life drastically. He's under the UAE immigration watchlist. He's supposed to be deported immediately but since UAE govt had 10-day holidays after the result of his medical, his deportation was moved to 1st working day after the holiday which is this coming Sunday. A blessing in disguise he told me for he had still time to say goodbye to his family & friends.


I am still in state of shock. He's like a father to me. I have a high regard of this man. Beside him being my previous boss, he's also my advisor in my career and life in general. He's an active preacher in a Christian organization while I am full pledge Roman Catholic. But this was never an issue to us. We respect each other's faith.

I strongly believe that he can surpass this trial in life. I pray that he & his family would be given continued strength in facing this challenge. As questioned by the priest today in the homily, "Is there anything that i can do?" I would answer, Yes. That is to pray and to make my friends & family aware of this disease.

Moving Forward

Today, Dec 2 is UAE National Day thus i'm on a holiday again. But more than this, I'm singing a happy tune because I FINALLY learned to let him go. :-)

After so much self-contemplation, I had come into terms with the fact that we could never be together forever. We're not just meant for each other. There are good things that really never last. I love you with all my heart and soul. In you, i always feel connected with the world. You made me closer to my family and friends. Just knowing that you are with me, i feel safe. You were always there for me. Thank you for everything. I will forever treasure our memories together.

My life will never be the same without you for sure. But i need to be strong. I believe this is the best thing that I could ever give to you- your FREEDOM.

Two Months After...

Today is my 2nd monthsary in blogosphere! Yippee! Happy Monthsary to me! :-) hehe.

I am happy that I got the courage to start blogging. I never thought i can ever do it but i did. :-) I really considered it as my personal achievement. However, i'm not super proud (just proud lang.hehe) with the content of my blog. They are mostly ( if not all) about my own thoughts & personal experiences. I know I can write more than these. Meron pa akong ibubuga. Hehe.

I am challenging myself now. I want to see a different 'me' in the coming days. I'm hoping to write more serious topics like maybe politics, economics, business etc (haha..sobrang serious yata talaga ang mangyayari). My future topics will not be limited to myself, friends and families. I will also try to blog more of those topics in general interests.

From now on, I will focus on whatever I will be blogging. I will make time to proofread it. What i'm doing right now is like i'm just writing on a diary. I just post whatever's on my mind. There is no checking nor editing.

I expect myself to be busy this month, not with the coming holidays but busy thinking very hard and profusely what will i going to post. Haha. I'm in trouble. :-)
