Unofficially Yours....

"pwede bang maging tayo na lang"? ---a line from the movie Unofficially Yours starring John Loyd Cruz & Angel Locsin.

Palabas na ito sa dubai from mar 8-21! Aba sympre 1st day pa lang nanood na kami. hehe. daig ng maagap ang masipag.

Kung gusto ninyong maiyak habang tumatawa, this is the movie for you. May drama pero hindi mabigat sa dibdib. feel good movie pa rin. Nakakatawa ang mga barkada scenes. At ang galing ng pagkakagawa ng mga love scenes, tastefully done. nakakatuwang panoorin. :-)

haaayy John Lloyd, akala ko nakalimutan na kita....pero bakit ngayon gusto ko muling sabihin sa'yo na....

"ako na lang, ako na lang ulit"---linya naman ito sa One More Chance starring John Lloyd & Bea Alonzo :-)

our movie tickets :-)

I Will Raise Him Up

Dear Lord,

I know paulit-ulit na lang ako pero sorry po talaga kung minsan nagpapadala ako sa aking 'katamaran' para dalawin ka. Ilang beses na nga ba akong nangako Sa'yo? Madami na.

Ang dami kong dahilan---busy, pagod, inaantok, etc.etc...Tapos eto na naman ako, humihingi ng tawad. nag-eeffort. making up for my shortcomings. nakakaramdam ng hiya. Alam ko kasing nagkasala ako.

Gusto ko na pong magbagong-buhay. Tulungan Nyo po ako. Ayoko pong malayo sa Inyo. Close pa rin naman tayo diba? :-) I always want to be your follower. gawan yuku pung talatuki yu.

love,

tin

I am the bread of life

Those who come to me shall not hunger

Those who believe in me shall not thirst

No one can come to me unless the Father draw them

And I will raise him up, and I will raise him up

And I will raise him up on the last day

Gospel: John 2:13-25

When the time of the Jewish Passover was near Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and in the Temple he found people selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting there. Making a whip out of cord, he drove them all out of the Temple, sheep and cattle as well, scattered the money changers' coins, knocked their tables over and said to the dove sellers, 'Take all this out of here and stop using my Father's house as a market.' Then his disciples remembered the words of scripture: I am eaten up with zeal for your house. The Jews intervened and said, 'What sign can you show us that you should act like this?' Jesus answered, 'Destroy this Temple, and in three days I will raise it up.'The Jews replied, 'It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple: are you going to raise it up again in three days?' But he was speaking of the Temple that was his body, and when Jesus rose from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and what he had said.

During his stay in Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he did, but Jesus knew all people and did not trust himself to them; he never needed evidence about anyone; he could tell what someone had within.

Celebration

Yippee! Natapos na din ang 2011 audit namin! Kahapon nga ay ni-treat ng Management ang buong Finance/Accounts Department for the audit conclusion. Actually kahit wala ng treat masaya na ako, kasi ibig sabihin magkakaroon na ako ng time para naman sa aking social life i.e. window shopping/movies/gala/blog/meet-ups etc. hehe. Pero sympre mas masaya pag ganitong may recognition ang pinagpapaguran ng inyong team. :-)

Parting Time

Ayokong maging emotional pero nalungkot talaga ako kanina.
Hindi biro ang pinagsamahan namin ng aking internet connection.
Since 2008 kasama ko na ito araw-araw gabi-gabi.


Ilang beses kong pinag-isipan bago ako nag-decide na i-cancel ito.
Nagtiis din naman ako sa mabagal na connection nito.
Wireless pero gumagamit ako ng wire para maka-connect (since Dec 2011).


And today kahit mahirap isinakatuparan ko na ang aking napag-desisyunan.
After office diretso ako sa satellite office ng Etisalat sa Deira City Cente.
Pumila ako ng humigit-kumulang isang oras doon para matapos na ito.


Nakaramdam ako ng lungkot ng iabot sa akin ang final bill at
sinabihan ako na cancelled na ito. :-(
Alam ko mawawala din ang lungkot na ito soon.


Meron pa din naman akong internet connection.
Naki-connect na lang ako kay 'manong'.
Mas mabilis, wireless at mas mura (dahil sharing). :-)

ang aking final bill sa aking internet connection.

(paalala: a big NO NO ang hindi magbayad ng mga bayarin dito sa Dubai

dahil pwedeng-pwede kang ipa-hold sa airport pag meron kang mga unsettled bills)

Jason Mraz Live in Dubai!

I Won't Give Up

This is really is it! Jason Mraz will have a concert @ Dubai Jazz Festival on Thursday! It means posibleng malapit ng matupad ang last wish ko sa concert scene. Si Jason Mraz na lang kasi ang pinapangarap kong mapanood then okay na okay na ako. Pero may problema, bukod sa wala pa akong ticket, nag-backout ang mga kasamahan ko. Di nila masyadong trip si Jason Mraz, antayin na lang daw namin si Madonna sa June 3. Pero mas gusto ko si Jason Mraz!!!! Waaahhhh, i've been waiting for him for so long, ayoko na itong palagpasin. Bahala na sa Thursday. Basta, I won't give up. :-)

JASON MRAZ - I WON'T GIVE UP

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make

Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts
We got yeah we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we didn't tend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not
And who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
I'm still looking up

I won't give up on us
God knows I'm tough, he knows
We got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

Wala akong masasabi sa aking mga kaibigan. Sila na siguro ang pinakamabait na taong nakilala ko. Yun bang tipong kahit anong mangyari nandyan lang sila para sa akin.

We had the best of our times together lalu na kami nina jo & ivy dahil magkakasama kami sa isang bahay dati. Yun nga lang sympre kailangang mag-move on din kami. Nagkaroon ng sariling pamilya si ivy ganundin si jo. Lumipat sila ng tirahan. Ako na lang naiwan dito ngayon. :-(

Maraming beses na akong nag-drama tungkol dito. And i think enough na yun. Nag-mature na din ako sa wakas. Basta kung saan masaya ang aking mga kaibigan dun din ako. Ibang level na ang mga usapan namin ngayon. More on sa family life na. :-)

Madami nang nagbago pero yung friendship namin ng F4 ganun pa din. At dalangin ko na it will stay like this forever.

pre, miss you na! ingat ka lagi dyan sa pinas. stay beautiful as always. send my love & kisses to kyle.

ives! miss na din kita! salamat naman at nagkita na tayo yesterday! miss ko na kayo ni miguel talaga. grabeh, ang laki na ni miguel!...parang nasa pinas tayo ah...ang hirap nating magkita dito sa dubai. pasencia na at sobrang busy sa work. tsaka friday lang off ko. miss ko na ang sleepover sa inyo. enewei, i'm looking forward sa ating grand vacation sa july! sana matuloy ito. :-)

jo! hahaha...natatawa ako. kakausap lang natin via ym (jo is now living in canada). nasabi ko na lahat ng gusto kong ikwento sa'yo. super mis na din kita! kelan kaya tayo ulit magkikita? excited na ako talaga sa soon-to-be inaanak ko sa'yo. sana ibigay na ito sa inyo soon. :-)

Binanggit ko na sa aking mga kaibigan ang aking planong repatriation sa July 2013 at eto ang kanilang mga reaksyon:

pre: fren, yehey! atleast tayo naman ang magkakasama dito sa pinas. miss na kita talaga.

me: oo nga fren...excited na ako!

ivy: naku tin, baka mauna pa kami sa iyo. hehe.

me: naku, wag nyo naman akong unahan. nauna ako. naka-plano na ako at ayokong maiwan dito! hehe :-)

jo: lagi ko na lang naririnig sa'yo ngayon ang july 2013 na yan ah...pag ikaw, di natuloy libre mo ako ng pamasahe. hehe

me: hahaha...cge ticket for two pa! ang plano ko is kunwari naging successful ang itatayong business ko (sympre with the help of my prospective investors-kayong 2 ni ivy..hehe), pasyalan kita dyan sa canada! hehe.

To my F4 Friends,

I'm so grateful for having you in my life. Gusto kong malaman ninyo na nandito lang din ako para sa inyo. Mahal na mahal ko kayong lahat pati na rin ang mga mahal ninyo sa buhay. (pakiusap: wag nyo naman akong i-pressure pls kung di ako mag-asawa ah.hehe).

Miss you so much! Ingat and God bless you always.
