Someone asked me if my job was an OJT. I was like, "No, sometimes I wish I had an OJT. Then, I have an excuse to screw up coz your boss would be like, "It's ok, you're an OJT.. do better next time." or "Next time. do this (insert legal teaching here)

Burning bridges..

Sometimes you just have to burn bridges not because you're still mad at them but for the reason you don't want to give them another opportunity to hurt you.

Fairy Tales... they ruin our lives.

My take on Alice in Wonderland

Published on 2012-11-12 00:08:00

Alice in the wonderland is a satire of what happens after a break up. You fall into a deep sleep, searching for sex becomes a game(white rabbit), you become a little bit crazy (mad hatter), your thoughts seem to talk to you all the time (blue caterpi

This point in time i can honestly say i am humbled. I used to think i was strong thay nothing can surprise me and that aside from when my beloved nephew became an angel, i would never feel that devastated again but i was wrong. Take away a warrior from their comfort zone and give them a battlefield they are not used to fighting in and they will crumble.

People say to me, "grabe you're strong". Yes, i'm strong like everyone else but i get hurt like everyone else as well. I do know when a person approaches me as a friend and then whispers when i'm out of ear shot. I do know about how some judge me because of this and that and some stories are just exaggerated and funny and yes, i have long since accepted that i am not going to win ms congeniality anytime soon so i resort to ignore this as a normal everyday thing.

Day 1-Bar Exams reflection

Published on 2012-10-07 09:20:00

Things that i have learned so far. If you feel like you are on the verge of breaking down because you feel like you have lost everything you shouldn't, cry a river, build a bridge and move on. Because that's what people do, they move on. Never give up on life, your dreams, sanity, hope, love and most of all never give up on God. Do what you need to do to let it out but don't forget to let it go until you eventually wake up and realize you're finally okay. If it still feels wrong, you haven't let [..]

Missing colors..

Published on 2012-09-08 15:57:00

When we were young, we were taught to think that life is black and white. Yes or no. In or out. Love or hate. No in between. But as we grow older, we realize that there are many shades of blue, many types of red, many yellows, greens ad infinitum. We thought that if two people love eachother, they are honest and true. And that, that is the only way to love. But no, it's not like that. Sometimes, you have to keep some things to yourself, some things you shouldn't tell your partner. Imagine if the [..]

"Why We Shout In Anger"A Hindu saint who was visiting river Ganges to take bath found a group of family members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his disciples smiled'n asked.'Why do people shout in anger shout at each other?'

I woke up with a horrible sensation. A bad dream perhaps, a nightmare that summarizes all my fears and insecurities. I don't know where i'm heading. I'm too damaged to function properly. I am because i let it. I realized i have become too dependent on my temporary relief. Lust disguised as love. Easily shattered. He has his own life. We can't continue on this fantasy as it is clear as daylight that i want something more than he can offer. Maybe he gave it already and i am just fooling myself. Ma [..]

Freedom..

Published on 2012-08-15 23:26:00

It's sad how someone will mask their guilt for a failed relationship by removing all traces of it from their lives as if it never happened, as if it never were. Also, By passing the blame to the other party and ignoring the past, it's easier to move on first before the other party has a chance to even say goodbye nor even settle lose ends. Frustrating how strangers become good friends-turned-lovers now become strangers once again. Such is not the cycle of life. Why does such a thing happen then? [..]

The Art of Letting Go...

I claim to be an artist.. But I never learned this art. The art of letting go. I thought that if you fight for the one you love, somehow, someday, they will see you and come back. But they won't. It's just destiny. Cruel Fate for someone to leave you when you have already fallen.

Linger..

Published on 2012-06-21 17:04:00

I know it's lingering longer than it's supposed to. But that's what you get for believing in the three words that were said with no thought as to whose heart will be made whole only to get shattered in the end. I am sorry For hoping that in the end, things will eventually find a way. My heart will just have to mend after the bar. For now, please let 1 week pass that i don't miss him nor want to call him.:'(

I found myself angry that he never even cared that we broke up. Though i fought for him, he only comforted me for a short while then when we had an agreement to just continue with our arrangement, he suddenly got annoyed when i said i still love him and asked him to choose me. Of course, it wasn't two weeks yet since last time we were together. Of course, i wasn't over. I needed him to comfort me and take away the pain he caused.

If you found your way to this blog, you maybe the same as me. I was also trying to make sense with the situation that he is never coming back. Most ofnus have been there, we settle for almost any morsel of affection they can give us to excuse the fact that we just can't let them go. We cling to that one hope that, "what if..?". Fighting for the one you love even if they don't love you anymore because one day, they MIGHT learn to see again what they claimed to love about you in the first place. [..]

Messaging is more than communication. I never used to patronize SMART. I have to confess that it was only in early 2011 that I hastily bought a new Smartbro because I had lost my internet connection for 10 days. I needed the internet to do my online job as a freelance writer and a day without internet is money lost. When I started using Smartbro, I noticed immediately how fast and reliable it was but it was not only until when my nephew got sick and eventually passed away that I really apprecia [..]

On gay marriage..

Why shouldn't gay people get married? What is marriage to us anyway but merely society giving their consent to the union of two people. If the couple is married, the law protects the union and their property and why shouldn't people of the same sex be given such privilege?! They are citizens of this country as well and have given a significant contribution to our economy and they are law-abiding citizens. They're just like every one of us with normal lives. Put it this way: If a person who steal [..]

If the person meant a lot for you and then suddenly they leave you h anging of course, you get confused and the first instinct that comes to you is to fight for the relationship.

He called Bisayas morons... First of all: His information is not accurate! Epicenter was not in CEBU! Not on land even. Durrr that was the first thing that came out of the news. Second: There is a newly discovered fault line between negros and cebu which caused the earthquakes. Third: How dare he call people who panicked as morons! I already said my peace with this, but i'll say it again, the power went out, no one had access to internet, radio or TV, people were out doing their work and sch [..]

Last May, I got this turtle at Magallanes. I don't know what kind of turtle he is though but he's big and brown (AKA "bisaya" turtle or local turtle). I named him Boogs because that time I went to the ear doctor and had mine removed. Anyhow, when I first bought him I wasn't sure if he was healthy enough because his shell was cracked which was a sign of an unhealthy turtle but I bought him anyway and also bought him a new home.

TO THE VATICAN: Thought to ponder: Why is it that it's more acceptable to see two men shooting each other in media than kissing? Even the cross itself depicts brutality and both can be a symbol of a lot of things. I'm just saying. I remember when I asked my CL teacher in high school about some things I found confusing about our religion. Like weren't the romans the ones who crucified Christ so isn't it a bit ironic why we are called roman-catholics? She answered "You ask that because you don't h [..]

I'm the type of person that I really hate regretting anything. I always do something that I want to do out of whim because I know life is short.
