My Beloved Friends

What will you do when people constantly disappoint you? How will you react?

I get sad. It's tiring especially when you give a lot of second chances to the person. But still, I try to understand. But again there's a drawback: I just don't expect that much to that person anymore and I tend not to depend to that person. It will seem as if I have a wall around me with this person who disappointed me. I will try to patch things up. I will forgive the person and try to forget but trusting the person again will take a lot of time to be regained. To help myself get through the disappointment, I make myself my own bestfriend. I will just think of happy thoughts and try not to think of what happened. I'll cry for sometime. I may call someone to talk to. I'll do something that will make me happy. I'll pray. I'll let time heal the pain.

I just got curious... cause Sam, my officemate, opened a topic about my personality. He said he's wondering how am I if I have a boyfriend. haha! Because he thinks I have a choleric temperament. hahaha! I don't know why he thinks so. I don't know if that's good or bad (in terms of having a successful relationship someday). haha! Well, I think, I'm more of a choleric phlegmatic. That's what the quiz said: TAKE THE QUIZ YOURSELF

Test Result:

With your 33 % you are: Phlegmatic: Laid-back, good-natured, easy to please. Usually get along with everyone, not one to 'make waves'. Weaknesses: Easy to become lazy, indecisive, selfish--usually undisciplined. 18 % from 4320 test takers had this profile!

But you have almost become this:

And that you are not at all: With your 20 % you are: Melancholy: Usually emotional, individualistic, creative...Commonly artistic, spontaneous, lover of 'different' things. Weaknesses: You don't care enough of what others think. You're always trying to be 'different', and you don't stick with anything.

With your 13 % you are: Sanguine: Loves people, friendly, great story-teller...Loves to be center of attention or just to fit in. Weaknesses: Loss of individualism because you care too much about others' opinions.

Any Comments? :P Accurate ba?

Pasko na next week! :) I already started attending the Simbang Gabi. I like both sermons on the first and second day. The first sermon was about remembering that Christmas is about Jesus Christ, not us, so we must not forget Him. We must also remember that God loves us so much, therefore, we must trust Him even if times get tough. We must always show that we love Him.

This is a really nice video that I think will best describe what the message is all about:



The second sermon was about being true and being an example of God's image. God asks us to be always true. He wants us to remove our masks, admit our sins, and humbly follow God. He wants us to be a living example of who God is which is loving, forgiving, caring and faithful. In both events too, the choir assigned for each day performed before the Mass was held. I love the Shalom's choir performance. :) It's inspiring.

Today is also my sister's birthday. My family and I will attend her party later. :)

Happy Birthday Ate Jen!!!! *huggsss*

Something to reflect on:

It's really hard when you know there's a problem but all you can do is... wait but God said, "Trust me. Don't worry. I'll make everything alright... In the right place.. In the right time..."

God bless everyone!

Pampered - that was the word the vet used to describe my bunnies. Cute and pampered. Well, Mukuro more than Tsuna, because I dunno how the assistant managed it, but he successfully cradled Mukuro against the crook of his elbow like he was cradling a baby. Mukuro was on his back and he stayed still long enough for Dr. Donato to trim his nails.

Trufax cute. Should have taken a picture. Tsuna needs a makeover or something if people keep focusing on Mukuro when the reason I got rabbits in the first place was because I wanted a Tsuna.

Also, I died a little to hear him complimenting my rabbits. He's an awesome vet, and to hear him implying that they're well taken care of... >w<)

Then again, I pay more than 1k per visit for consultation and nail trimming and medicine and whatever. Of course they're pampered.

There was a huge Airedale Terrier just roaming around the clinic, and a gorgeous Cocker Spaniel with beautiful wavy fur long enough to brush against the floor, and a tiny Chihuahua small enough to fit in her owner's cloth handbag. The spaniel might have been believable, but I never thought that I'd see an Airedale here. ._. Visiting this clinic is making me wish that I'd studied to be a veterinarian instead, and maybe I might have gotten to work with these wonderful people.

Instead, I get to stalk them from afar via regular check-ups. Lol, who the heck brings tiny Netherland Dwarf Rabbits on regular check-ups?

My implementation is now working. Yay! I can even use GnuPG in my laptop to encrypt my confidential files ( any files I want, even pictures).. haha. Cool.

another cool design concept:

I just watched Hannah Montana. I just got interested watching it on a Sunday afternoon. I was surprised. The story inspired me.

I agree with the moral of the story. We should not let anyone destroy our dreams no matter how impossible it may seem. Get real. Be true. Keep on believing. :)

Keep on moving.. Keep on climbing.. It's all about the climb. Keep the faith.

Here's a video of the song in the movie: The Climb by Miley Cyrus. This made my day. :)



The Climb lyrics
Songwriters: Alexander, J; Mabe, J;

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

It's been a busy midweek for me. I'm glad I was able to do all my tasks (though I had to work even on a Saturday which is today). I just hope everything will be ok on our release tomorrow/Monday for PCI Compliance. Good news by the way, is that part of the PCI compliance release is now in Production. The next release is what I've been doing this week. I've been studying GnuPG for more than a day so I can secure the keys we are using to encrypt/decrypt our customers' confidential data like credit card numbers, CVV, etc. Hopefully, what I have done is correct and will eventually pass the auditors' standards. *cross fingers*

We were also able to release Outbound Email and Data Conversion to UAT. I'm still waiting for Sam's heads up so we can release it to Production and those will be a BIG release so we need to make it sure it's fully tested. There are still more to come and the coming days will be busy. But I'm still hoping I can relax little by little during the Christmas break. I really want to spend a meaningful Christmas with my family and friends without worrying a lot about work. I also want to complete the Simbang Gabi (I was doing it since 2007).

On the lighter side, REAP celebrated its Christmas party last week in JMES. I'm glad that we were able to make the children happy. Actually, the children made us even happier. They were so participative. They are so bright. They are so talented. They even performed a dance number for us.

Here's one souvenir picture:



I also played badminton last Saturday with Brij, Karen, Sir Gentrie and Ms. Kim (after the Christmas party). Afterwards, we had dinner at the Fort. I bought an IQ puzzler in Hobbes and Landes and we played with it in Krispy Kreme.



The next day, I attended the Sunday Mass and a seminar for Legionaries in our Church. Fr. Memeng had a spiritual talk during the seminar. Ate Jen also visited us at home. We spent time playing the IQ puzzler before she went home. I accompanied her until we reach Sangangdaan and I went to see Anthony in Trinoma to watch "New Moon".

Last Wednesday, I attended the Immaculate Conception Mass in our parish. The next day, I went to Margaret's birthday party. I watched again a movie with Anthony. We watched "The Paranormal Activity" at SM North Edsa. That movie really scared me. :P


That's all. God bless everyone and have a nice week ahead.

FIRST: If you've been tagged, you must write your answers in your own LJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new, original question.
SECOND: Tag eight sexy people. Don't refuse to do that like a pansy.

( I think I've seen this on my f-list a lot, though. )


I dunno why people around me keep saying that Reborn's been sucking lately. I mean, is it that hard to just enjoy it for what it is? Also, hello, sexy. I'm way too excited about the fact that it's the real Mukuro standing there to care that the illusionary tactic he pulled isn't new. I mean, it's what he does best, right? Troll the enemy by creating dummy allies for them to beat around and stand back and laugh at them when they realize that they've been had.

Hibari: Done yet? Who said you could do all the killing?
Ryohei: Is the illusion thing over?
Bel: We waited ten seconds because you asked! You crap-head frog!
Lussuria: How dare you go over by thirty whole seconds!

I love that they sound so united in their outrage.

mistress_259, thelovemafia, happy birthday, you guys! ♥♥♥
