Bob Ong Quotes tungkol sa BUHAY (IN GENERAL)

“nalaman kong hindi final exam ang passing rate ng buhay. hindi ito multiple choice, identification, true or false, enumeration or fill-in-the-blanks na sinasagutan kundi essay na isinusulat araw-araw. Huhusgahan ito hindi base sa kung tama o mali ang sagot, kundi base sa kung may kabuluhan ang mga isinulat o wala. Allowed ang erasures.”

“Nalaman kong habang lumalaki ka, maraming beses kang madadapa. Bumangon ka man ulit o hindi, magpapatuloy ang buhay, iikot ang mundo, at mauubos ang oras.”

“Wag magmadali sa pag-aasawa. Tatlo, lima , sampung taon sa hinaharap, mag-iiba pa ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong di pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang sa kaboses niya si Debbie Gibson o magaling mag-breakdance. Totoong mas importante ang kalooban ng tao higit anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan sa eskwelahan e nagmumukha ring pandesal. Maniwala ka.”

“hindi dahil sa hindi mo naiintindihan ang isang bagay ay kasinungalingan na ito. at hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohanan. ”

Thank you....

My silent cry....

All this time i thought i was fine...
nothing will change if you leave me behind...
Life will go on as it used to be...
Alone in this room, without you beside me...


But how these tears have found their way out...
Leaving me lonely in the midst of the night..
Why do they keep on falling apart..
running away from this empty heart...

The cold air suddenly was able to embrace me...
reminding me your warmth, your arms around me...

my silent cry has echoed aloud without you hearing a single sound...
your touch still lingers in my mind...still missing you all this time...

Realizing your goals and dreams....

Just sharing a very nice thought from i don't know who... :)

"Act, don't spend all your time planning. Of course this does not mean you should ignore planning but most of your time should be spent acting on what you have planned. Spend as much time as possible each day working toward your plan and you will achieve it that much sooner. You can accomplish anything you want to do by simply taking time each day acting on activities that bring you closer to reaching your goals. Spend some time each week updating your plan and then work to finish each new goal."

...This is so true... Once i dreamed.... then I planned... then I worked towards achieving it... now I know i'm close to realizing one.... =)

Officially SMART!!!!!

This post is not to promote the product to be mentioned. This is only posted to express how I really appreciate the product itself.....


I have been a loyal customer of Smart for more than 4 years now. I've been sticking with my post paid line for so long... not only because I don't want to change my mobile number but because of the superb service i get from SMART. Loyal nga talaga ako... kasi naman other networks promise a nationwide connection but you can't seem to connect at some places meaning wala silang signal. Hassle diba? What if you're stuck in some place and you badly need help and worst you dont have a signal from your network provider... Gosh!!!! Kainis diba??? kaya SMART nako.... papahuli ba kau?

Just recently, I purchased my own SMART BRO. I do have a post paid wireless connection from the other network pero sobra hina ng signal. I can't establish a connection even inside our house(are we in a cave?)... to think we live here in Quezon City ha!baka sa Mandaluyong malakas! (hehehehe). Now, because of the widest connection of Smart even inside our bedroom ang lakas ng signal ko... as in steady yung blue light sa USB. Thanks Smart!!! now i can connect to the internet anytime and talk to my husband across the miles. Buti nalang nag SMART BRO ako!!!!

A Seafarer's life....

It has been a month only since Nelson came back from Bro Glory, 37 days to be exact as of this writing, and he's scheduled to leave again sometime next week, to work again aboard the same ship.

I know that he really don't want to leave us yet... I can see the sadness in his eyes whenever he looks at our kids, Denise and Ate Bea. I can hear the silence behind his laughs whenever he tickles them. I can feel his silent wish to be just beside them, to secure and protect them from any harm, to simply be just a father to them. I know that...

I know that...I am a child of a seafarer. I can feel Papa's desire to guide us in our life's journey, to just be with us. But he never had the chance to stay here for so long, he had to leave us to earn a living. To get us all to college so we can have a good future.... with that sacrifice, we owe him and mama a lot.

I am pretty much sure that Nelson has the same scenario as with Papa.
If he could only have any choices, i know he'll not choose to have that seafarer's life...

Before our Bohol Escapade 2009

Eversince i always dreamed of bringing my family in a place where we can enjoy and bond with each other, away from the typical pasyalan like malls, arcades etc. I wanted to bring them to some far away place and let my kids experience how it feels like to ride in that big bird flying high up in the clouds.

So when i learned about Cebu Pacific Air's (http://www.cebupacificair.com/) seat sale on domestic flights, i grabbed that chance and booked our flight right then and there to Tagbilaran (hehehe.... excited!!!). After booking, I immediately searched the internet for things that we can do in Bohol. Thanks to the Bohol forum in http://www.pinoyexchange.com/. I was able to draft our itenerary including the sites we should visit and avoid as well as the expenses we should be expecting.

And then I told this plan to my sister Chec who immediately expressed her desire to come with us since she wanted to surprise Mannix (her husband) on their 7th wedding anniversary. Syempre oo naman ako para me kahati kami sa expenses (hihihihi)......

I felt like hindi pa nga matutuloy kasi Ondoy came and afterwards threat naman ni Pepeng. Nelson also was a bit hesitant to go since bad nga ang weather and he even asked me if we could cancel the trip. Syempre i said a big NO!!! Then Ate Baby was also expressing her intention to leave us already, pero nakatawad pa ako... I told her after our Bohol trip nalang. Pinag isipan pa nga nya before she finally said yes eh... (uyyy kunyari pa!)

I really thought that my plans will not materialize.... pero it did!!! And i must say, our 1st out of town trip was so sulit!!!! It will definitely not be our last....

1st time to blog.....

It's actually my 1st time to blog... hehehehe so bear with me. It was really my sisters blog site http://www.checjournal.blogspot.com/ that inspired me to create my own account here at blogspot (hehehe...nainggit?).

I am actually one of her followers, not sure if she knew that but whenever i'm bored with my work i just open her site and viola!!!! my senses are again working... i don't know why but i do enjoy her posts... yung mga jokes and even the stories of her life... hehehe

I also realized that sometimes its good to have something you can look back into whenever you feel that the world is not going your way... and this is one of the things you can actually create... you only need your computer and internet connection (me??? c/o the company.....:)
