i miss you all
sorry I have been away for a while, I've been quite busy with school and work, so I barely have any time to update. I am sorry for not bloghopping too. I miss you all. Promise babawi ako on the weekend. Anyway, I am off to work again. Catch you all later.

You are looking for somewhere to belong
You are standing all alone for someone to guide you on your way
Now and forever
Yes it's the lyrics to my background song. Hehe it's just so, well happy. You know when you've had one of those long rough days, and at the end somehow things just turn out well.. better, regardless of you trying. I mean you can't always be down in the dumps right? I don't know about you, but I was having a conversation with a friend of mine at school today, and we were talking about how some people tend to make themselves feel a certain way, well just because they want to. For example, if you really want to be down in the dumps, then somehow you just tend to find a way to make yourself feel like the world has just well dropped on you.
I mean I'm not saying that we can 100% fully control our emotions, sure we can all just breakdown, all I'm trying to say is that well when something goes wrong in your life, it's either you find a way to make yourself better and well change for the better, or just deal with it and complain about how unfair and useless your life is. Now do you get my point?
I don't know. Life is full of promises, so I suggest you fulfill it. Life's not perfect, nothing is. So live it to the fullest, don't sit around whining and all, and do something productive instead. As we all know, we only get to live once, so why waste your chance?
Have you heard that saying, "kung nadapa ka, well bumangon ka, don't just stay there", kasi when this happens, we normally just tend to feel sorry for ourselves instead of finding ways to make our situation better. Pero, in some instances may mga tao din na "sinusob sob" ka pa knowing na nadapa ka na, instead of giving a helping hand.
REMEMBER: Every single day is a chance for a new beginning, a new chapter. Correct mistakes you have made in the past, or mistakes that you are continually making right now. You don't want to be looking back wishing you've done something differently in the past. DO IT NOW, while YOU STILL CAN. Remember life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, be genuinely happy, kiss slowly, love truly and laugh uncontrollably.
random thought
Just a randon thought, what is it with people who love to swear? In every sentence they make, they swear. Is it even necessary to start or end sentences with a swear word? Oh and another thing why do people even use up and down case, and slang up to these days? If there is one thing that annoys me on Friendster, Multiply, or even Blogs, it would have to be this. I don't know, clearly you can tell that I'm not a fan of this. Is it that hard to write in proper English? I mean what are you trying to convey here, that you don't know how to write in proper English?FOR EXAMPLE; who wouldn't be annoyed reading something like this? Is it just me, or is it just me? LOL I really didn't give you much choice there did I."WhAt ArE dA rIgHt ThAnGzZz To SaY oR pUt In A "tEsTiMoNiAl"..? ShOuLd It SaY hOw GoOd Da PeRsOn Is Or HoW hE oR sHe Is So GoOd LoOkIn'..?

Okay now tell me I'm wrong, I mean I still see 24 year olds typing like this, with mind you "Degrees" that they are so proud of. Yet, clearly they choose not to write properly. Tell me, is it the "in" thing or something? I mean, yeah it's alright to follow the latest fashion trends or something, but typing like this...? Err big no no. Whenever I see this kind of "language", I just remember all those " teeny bopper days" we all used to have. So clearly, it's just so wrong when you see " grown ups" still typing like this.
you have no idea..
It's been a while since I actually wrote something, something with "substance" that is. I guess its because everything has settled down now. The drama has come and gone, and life is once again steady. It's hard to believe that a few months ago, I was a "broken" person. I was shattered, burnt and had been let down. Perhaps I am being a little melodramatic, but that's how I felt.
But really, leaving yourself no pride solves nothing. Sometimes, even tiring. Sure you may have learned to forgive, but isn't it one-way still? And giving up after countless tries which have failed may be the only way to save yourself from the near-term downfall.
But how long does one's pride last? It depends, really. Pride is one trait we should all have. But we should know when to let go of it. Your pride shouldn't be more important that your family, friends, and most of all.. your partner.
One general rule I follow is that in terms of forgiveness, pride leaves my mind the moment my heart learns to forget.
For most people, the saying "time heals all wounds" does the trick. And yes, time plays a big part in healing painful slashes one has left your heart. But time is not the only solution.
I cannot agree more with the quote "Blessed are the forgetful", because it's only through forgetting that we see things in a different light again. We watch the world as if it were our first time to open our eyes; We listen as if we've never heard anything before. We act as if we have never felt any pain throughout our lives. Everything's fresh; we start anew.
Moving on and letting go of the past were things I knew I had to do, but wasn't too sure on how to do it. I had been too caught up in my own little la la land that letting go seemed near impossible to do. How could I let go of the past and start of a new life, if the past would still be apart of my life, whether I liked it or not. How could I escape the past if I was constantly running into it? How could you avoid it, when it's all you hear, wherever you turn to? How could you try and get over about something, when the other party wouldn't. But somehow, without really even knowing it, I got over it. Looking back, I wouldn't really want to change anything, because that's exactly what it was - the past.
Finally I realized; you can't start a new life if you're still trying to re - live the past.
should you speak at all?
Okay I'm probably going to sound like the cockiest bitch, but I have to be honest. If there is one thing that absolutely turns me off about some Filipinos ( oh gosh I sound so racist), it's the fact that some try so hard to speak English even if they can't. I know I know, I could get a lot of people stirred up for this post, but hey I'm just writing what's on my mind.
Here goes, I know I may have a bit of advantage because obviously I was raised here in Australia, I'm not saying that my English is absolutely perfect, because I do make a few grammatical errors, and I know it. It's just that you know it when you stumble upon someone who tries to speak English, and be able to compare them with someone who CAN speak English. I'm not saying that everyone should be able to speak English well, I mean hey some may even say that " at least he/she is trying". Fair enough, yes there's nothing wrong with trying, but remember the saying " too much of everything is bad". I mean, you don't have to pretend that you can speak English well, so that people could start looking up to you, true? Para lang masabi na, " o englishera siya". Okay let me give you a scenario, I went home to the Philippines once, and my cousins introduced me to her friends yadda yadda yadda, my cousin also mentioned that I was from Australia. As soon as her friend hears this, he tries to speak to me and yet struggled to say what he really wanted to say.. out of frustration I just said " nag tatagalog naman ako e". Now do you get what I mean?
If you can't speak or write in English well, there's nothing wrong with saying it in Tagalog. Yes you heard me right. I've stumbled upon a few blogs with a few grammatical errors and may have you. Yes I'm no teacher, I don't have the right to correct anyone, it's just that it really irritates me when they try so hard to write in English, when they cannot even use the right tenses for their sentences to start of with. I mean who the heck made a rule to only write in English in blogs anyway? I mean, its your blog.. you can write in your own language or what have you. Does anybody else feel me? I guess what I'm really trying to say here is that, if you can't do it right.. then don't do it at all.
Okay I'm currently watching Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition and I admire Ejay. Why? because even if he was surrounded by all his housemates who are englisera, he had to courage to admit na " hindi ako marunong mag english masyado e". Now thumbs up to you :)
I was on blogging leave because..
I spent Holy Week with my mahal. HEHE SURPISE! I didn't tell anyone he was coming down to Melbourne for the Holy Week, gusto ko mawindang kayo. Mas maganda yung surprise nalang, para ma shock kayo LOL jokes, well it was the best. He arrived at Melbourne on March 23 and left at April 3. We absolutely had fun... days went by so fast, hindi namin namalayan . But IM BACCCCCK now. :).. I missed you all.
Here's some of the pictures I uploaded. This isn't even 1/2 of the photos we took, we have like 9293875734873 photos, but I really can't be bothered uploading them all. Maybe next time, hehe.
Aww.. I miss you na bebe ko.
