sing me a song

how i love to listen to this old spanish song ... my honey told me about this song .. and i instantly fell in love ...


CONTIGO APRENDI

Contigo aprendí que existen nuevas y mejores emociones
contigo aprendí a conocer un mundo nuevo de ilusiones.

Aprendí que la semana tiene más de siete días
a hacer mayores mis contadas alegrías
y a ser dichoso yo contigo lo aprendí.

Contigo aprendí a ver la luz del otro lado de la luna
contigo aprendí
que tu presencia no la cambio por ninguna.

Aprendí que puede un beso ser más dulce y más profundo
que puedo irme mañana mismo de este mundo
las cosas buenas yo contigo las viví.
Y también aprendí
que yo nací el día en que te conocí.

translation

With you I learned that there exists new and better feelings
With you I learned that to know a world of new hope
I learned that a week has more than seven daysto make better(days)
the few more happyand to be lucky to have it all
With you i learned

With you I learned to see the light on the other side of the moon
With you I learned that I wouldn't change your presence here for any other

I learned that a kiss can be very sweet and very profound
And that I cal leave this world tomorrow
Beacause I've already lived the best thingsin life, with you
And, with you, I have learned,
That I was born, the day that I met you

MIP, a bucket of tears, and a prayer

Yesterday morning while listening to the usual “chikahan” of my officemates I suddenly cried and they all stopped and stared at me. They asked me what is wrong. All three of them got MIP (Merit Increase Performance) which means they got a bonus for having a job well done. They started talking about how they badly need that money. Ate Ethel mentioned that just the other day her son asked her when she would buy his medicine since he has asthma and her little girl asked where she got the cake she brought home the other day (because that day a client of ours gave us a cake) and her girl wanted one. She told them that when she receives her salary and get enough money she‘d buy them the things that they want and need. Ate Rhines talked about her husband calling her for gas money and she has to borrow money from her sister. I cried for the reason that I started to feel sorry for them, we are all having difficulties at our office these past few months. We now belong to the “overworked and underpaid” class (cannot claim overtime even though we worked for more than 12 hours a day). That overtime claim is a big help to us because it means having extra money to buy things that we need. Unfortunately, our new boss declared that in our line of work we are “the unsung heroes” which I think is “A BAG OF SHIT”. Not only are we not being paid properly, there are also incidents in our office that makes you want to scream and say “IKAW NA LANG KAYA DITO, PALIT TAYO NG PWESTO!!!” and “DARNA!!!” (because we need her superhero strength to keep us going).

I told them that God never leave our side. He knows the hardships that we are experiencing and he is rewarding us with things unexpectedly. On that moment I realized that I am luckier since I do not have their kind of problems. I suddenly appreciate the 400-peso bill inside my wallet. I also became conscious of the things that I have and the people around me.

I thank God for showering me with blessings more than I could have asked for. I want to say sorry to Him because sometimes I take things for granted. I wish for love to conquer my heart. I pray for the people that I love to be blessed with good health, a prosperous life, and to make them closer to God. I also pray for the people that I encounter everyday. I wish them a lip that never tires to smile, a heart that easy to forgive, and a hand that readily helps.

what am i thankful of for this day

I have watched this at Oprah, she said that we make a journal of the things that we are thankful for, and may it be big or small. I remembered crying at a certain portion where a boy wrote a poem about how he appreciate his teacher, it touched my heart because a love from a child is unconditional because they only see the goodness of one’s heart.

So today and the after this day and the day after tomorrow and the next day after that day, I promise that I will write something that makes me appreciate my life once more.

IM THANKFUL

- to my classmate Theyie for a very nice message that she sent me today.
- to the “kundoktor and the driver” of the bus that I rode this morning for not making me late at work.
- to the old lady who said good morning to me with a big smile on her face.
- to our guard who gave me a plate of “pansit with pichi-pichi”
- to “Tatang” who bought me tissue and a biscuit. (kahit na mali ung biscuit na binili nya dahil hindi ako kumakain ng peanut) I still appreciate the effort
- to Jason dahil hindi nya me nakalimutan invite for a badminton game today kahit alam naman nya na hindi ako makakapunta.
- to my HANI who fetch me at Mercury Imus because its raining.
- to the inspiring email message that I have received today.
- and for arriving safely at home.

after a long day @ work

i started my day dreading to go to work. work for me nowadays is like eating a spaghetti fear factor style full of worms, maggots, moths and an eye of some animal that serves as meatballs. YUCK!

i kept on looking at the clock to check if i can make it at 4:30pm. it is impossible i know, because i usually finished my work at around 9:00pm but i still believe in miracles. sadly, at around that time im still sorting and counting money that wasn't mine. grrrr!

to keep myself from having another STRESS ATTACK i busied myself thinking about what i will write in my blog. hehe ... and making fun of my new boss ... sssshhhhh!!!

to my great relief as well as my co-workers we finished earlier than we expected and we all went home singing a happy tune. :-)

im thankful for this day because i arrived home safe and most especially still have heaps of time to post a blog.

this is the title of my blog spot kasi until now im still uncertain kung maggawa ba ako or hindi. Kung hindi ko pa kailangan na gumawa ng user account para mag post ng comment ciguro green apple pa rin ako sa paggawa ng blog.

naisip ko ano ba talaga ang nakukuha sa paggawa ng blog? Stress reliever ba ito? para ba ito sa mga frustrated writers? sa mga tsimoso at tsismosa? sa mga office workers na wala maggawa sa break time nila? sa mga single? Sa mga brokenhearted at ginagawang escape ang blog? sa mga artists na dito sa blog nilalabas ang creativity nila? sa mga teenagers na marami reklamo sa buhay? sa mga walang kaibigan at dito na lang binibuhos ang mga kwento nila? sa mga taong mahilig makigaya sa uso dahil ang paggawa ng blog ay IN ngayon? sa mga curious at gusto malaman kung ano ang blog? sa mga walang trabaho? sa mga taong na-impluwensyahan ng kabigan, kapatid, kakilala, katextmate, kachat? sa mga magulang na na-impluwensyahan ng anak? para sa mga loner? sa mga madadaldal at pati sa blog nilabas ang kadaldalan nila?

kung saan ka man dito at kung paano ka pa man nagsimula mag blog, salamat at kung hindi dahil sa inyo hindi ito sisikat, hindi ko ito malalaman at wala ako gagawin ngayon sa bahay.

decided na ako at ngayon my decision is "TO BLOG" at walang makakapigil sa akin.
