i have been exposed to a variety of people since i started working and i think i've seen them all...hell yeah! all sorts of people from all walks of life. sino ka sa kanila?
there are people who work just for the sake of money or fame, there are those who do it with passion to the point of sacrificing their personal lives...
there are people who will pull people down, there those who'll help you get up...
there are people who are so damn lucky, there are those who just can't get things right...
there are people who get what they want out of "chika", there are those who really work hard for what they have...
there are people who are so used to lying, you don't know anymore when they're telling the truth...while there are those who are brutally frank.
there are people who would do anything to get what they want, to the point of stepping on other people's shoes, but there are also those who don't know how to get what they want...
there are people who are overly egoistic, and there are those who suffer because of these crap...
there are people who are over-confident, there are those who are too modest you don't notice how intelligent they are...
there are people who are free-loaders, there are those who love to share...
there are those who go to work like they're attending a party or fashion show, there are those who don't even dress up decently...
there are people who love to eat, there are those who are weight-conscious and don't eat meat...oh how i envy and pity them? sa sobra atang kulang sa protein, pati brain nila na-drain!
there are people who are too shy to eat at a gathering, there are those who grab a bite from everyone's plate...how disgusting!
there are people who love to annoy people, there are those who allow themselves to be annoyed...
there are people who love to talk about themselves, there are those who love to listen...or forced to listen?
there are people who will try hard to belong to a circle, there are those who don't even know how to socialize...
there are people who know what directions to take, there are those who just go with the flow...
there are people who hide in their closets, there are those who are left wonderin' and spend their day trying to figure out...get a life people!
there are people who can't accept their mistakes, there are those who get their peers' respect because they know how to acknowledge theirs.
there are people who can get away with their meanness, and seldom are those who get punished for it.
there are people who think they know it all, there are those who are mistaken.
there are people who sincerely love you, there are those who'd claim they do but don't really mean it...
there are people who'll show up when they need help, there are those who easily forget you when you're the one in need...
there are people who observe and try to understand...and there are those who couldn't care less.
there are people who love with all their heart...there are those who just want to be loved but don't know how to give back.
people...pipol...different faces, different facades...but what's on their hearts and minds, no one can really define and understand.
people...(is that barbra singing in the background?)

wishlist ko sa pasko
ilang days ding sale sa trinoma at isa lang ang obserbasyon ko! sayang ang gas at oras kasi grabe ang traffic papasok sa mall at napakahirap magpark! mahilig talaga ang pinoy sa SALE! kahit saan naman siguro, e nakadisplay kasi na up to 50% discount! pero actually mostly 10% lang!
hindi naman talaga ako makikigulo sa sale, dinala ko lang si Raphael sa Diego show, basta mga ganyan para kay Raph di ko pinapalampas! kahit na ba na-hassle ako at kailangan i-claim ang tickets the day before the show, na pwede mo lang ma-avail pag may at least 1,000 purchase ka sa trinoma, timing naman na naka-schedule talaga ako mag-grocery sa landmark last week. kaya in other words, 3 days akong pabalik-balik sa trinoma.
last saturday 1pm ang sked na pinili ko sabi ko para maaga-aga pa la pa masyadong tao! pero mali ako! buti na lang binaba ko na sina Raph, yaya at jessica sa lobby para hindi ma-late sa show...true enough inabot ako ng siyam-siyam bago makahanap ng parking space, hayun at pa-exit na si Diego nang makasunod ako sa kanila. di ko mai-imagine ang disappointment ni Raph kung hindi niya naabutan ang show!
haay tukso talaga ang sale! sabi ko ayoko makigulo! but then i had to buy some basics for the house, at nakabili na rin ako a few stuffs for my boys.
as usual wala para sa sarili ko! BUT if i were to buy for myself, kailangan ko ng mahabang oras, dahil hate na hate ko nagmamadali pag nags-shopping (na madalas nangyayari dahil lagi akong bitin sa oras)! at mahabang oras for fitting na rin na napakahirap gawin pag sale kasi pila sa mga fitting room, at siyempre malaking cash (or debit card budget, ayoko credit card) kasi hindi biro ang mga gusto kong bilhin:
1. a big plasma or flat tv: well-decorated na kasi with christmas lanterns ang house pero eyesore ang jurassic na tv sa sala haha; tas yung tv naman sa bedroom malaki nga pero super space-consuming pati speakers jurassic sa laki!
2. a canon or nikon SLR camera: picture-addict ako lalo na kay bagets! iba talaga ang pics pag "pang-propeysyonal" ang camera, pangarap ko to e!
3. a macbook: parang gusto ko nang mag-switch sa mac, less prone sa virus at gusto ko mag-edit nang mag-edit ng videos ni raph at pics namin na mas madali daw gawin sa mac.
4. nice sheets and comforters: haay sarap matulog sa sobrang lamig na room with crisp high-threadcount sheets & snuggly comforters (at tama ka piper, iba pag white & marshmallowish)
5. modern kitchen tools/gadgets: gusto ko maging kitchen diva at siguradong nakakaganang magluto pag maganda ang gamit sa kitchen
6. new sets of wardrobe (na dapat post-diet ang size e pano mangyayari yon di pa ko nag da-diet); and sexy pairs of shoes & bags (na malamang minsan ko lang magagamit haha)
7. a new but user-friendly cellphone: hay naku natatakot ako na one of these days baka magcrash na naman ang jurassic motorolla phone ko
(pero habang sinusulat ko to, ang dami kong naiisip na gusto ko ibigay para sa dalawa kong boys, ay naku mahirap magwish para sa sarili mo lang)
sana mabasa to ni Santa Claus o ng mga ninong at ninang ko para matupad ang wishlist ko sa pasko! di nga, i'm serious! hehe

The Secret
I've read the book months back or early this year...but on my way back to Manila last Monday, I kind of read it again through the audio book on my ipod touch. I got so inspired again that I couldn't help but smile while watching the video. I'm referring to Rhonda Byrne's "The Secret."
My mind got overwhelmed with thoughts about my immediate goals, my dreams and aspirations and how i want to achieve them really soon.
From "biyahe", I went straight to work. I was still euphoric about the message of "The Secret"-- about the Law of Attraction, on visualizing your goals...that the universe is governed by the principle that "like attracts like" and that our thoughts are like magnets: Positive thoughts attract positive events and negative thoughts attract negative events.
So forward to studio taping... as it has been our habit to pray together before we begin taping, one of the staff, Selda led the prayer. I asked her to pray that someone would finally win the Pot Money or the 1 Million Peso-Jackpot in one of the 3 episodes that we would tape that very night. I reiterated that the prayer should be specific (usually we'd just pray for a big winner). The last time I prayed for a Millionaire weeks back when i led the prayer at the taping of Singing Bee, Manilyn Reynes won 1 Million! And guess what, that Monday night that we taped Game KNB, somebody won the pot money that stood at 750,000 pesos!
Of course, prayers could really do wonders. And I think it's not just about visualizing and attracting what you want. That "universe" being referred to in the book "The Secret"-- I kind of replaced with God. The Secret is not just about attracting what you want so that the universe will conspire and give it to you, but believing in the power of the Most High who leads the whole universe, and that is God!
