8 Silly and Candid Things You Don’t Know About Me
December 18, 2008 at 2:06 am (personal)
8. I was a problem child… during feeding time. I usually cry when its feeding time and it took an hour for me to finish my meal. Kailangan pa itulak ang kanin sa akong mouth from the spoon according to my papa. So maaga ako ginigising para d ma late sa school.
7. John Pratts didn’t let me sleep. When I was in Grade 3, twas my first time to see a celebrity in person (labi na kay lalaki) that after I saw John Pratts during their Sustagen tour with camille in Gensan, I can’t sleep for a week because I was always thinking about him.
6. A recorder was once my bestfriend. Durng my Grade School days, I study with a recorder. First, I wrote down possible questions then record it. Example: ” What is the lightest organ in the body? ( then 1 minute pause para isipon ang answer or to peek with my notes ) Lungs “ Mura kog buang sa akong room! And at present, when I go home and papa will sundo me sa bus terminal, ipaplay na sa iyang car ang katong tapes nako. He plays it daw when he misses me. Sweet.
5. May fetish ako sa Notebooks. I buy notebooks but don’t use it. I bought them coz they’re cute or I just feel like buying. Pero wala na ko kabalo asa na.
4. I chew menthol candy when I bathe. Twas in High School. I don’t know why. Maybe I like the coolness when water touches my face. (murag advertisement!)
3. I don’t like ketchup. Kay weird man og taste.
2. I’m a cry baby. Tear jerk! Even for the smallest and non sense thing I would cry.
1. I had an awful teeth. Imagine an awful teeth with bangkils. That’s it! ‘Til I had my braces in Grade 6 upto 1st Year High School then retainer for a year. Salamat po doctor!

Echoes of our Hearts – joe d mango
Sometimes we close our eyes and just listen to the echoes of our hearts. We all fall in love and there are times that we love so much that we lose ourselves in our own emotions. More often than that, we wonder why there are love that grow and love that grows cold.
We would start to search for answers, and try to find where love has gone wrong. But in the end, we find ourselves where we started. We cannot question love when it has its own reasons. Love will always be as it always has been, silent, mysterious and deeply profound.
Many of us believe that love is forever, that love never dies, only to be disillusioned in the end, when we find our hands empty and our hearts longing. We’ve mistakenly looked at love as a need to be fulfilled. But love is only a gift given to us. We should not hold it in our hands for we may never find the strength to let it go when it decides to leave. We should only embrace its warmth and glow while it lasts, and then freely open our arms when it’s time to say goodbye.
When we fall in love with someone we don’t want that feeling to end for it is everything we are and everything that we wanted to be. We pray that love will stay and grow in our hearts. But if it doesn’t then we should never let our lives be taken by it for life should not end where heartaches begin. There is always a reason why we have to move on. When we have to say goodbye to the feelings we wanted to stay forever, let us not wave our hands with a heavy heart, for love will have to set its wings free and find a place where it belongs.
We may have lost it, but then again when we close our eyes and listen to the echoes of our hearts, we will hear that feeling resounding silently forever. Then, we’ll know that it has never left us, for the good that we have become because of love will always stay. It will always be there reminding us that we should be thankful and happy not because we have lost love but because for once in our lives that feeling lived in our hearts and made us happy.
01 The Dance of Life – Joe D Mango
There were two hearts who met in a dance. That moment was magical, there was a sweet song playing, there was harmony. And soon love in the air. They fell in love and they started building castles in their dreams. And promised forever with all certainty.
But somewhere in the midst of the fun, they got lost in the dance. Something went wrong, but they can never do anything. They were just drifting away, their fortress falling apart. There were so many questions but no one had an answer. Then the music stopped, then there was silence.
When we truly love someone we give our best and let that person see the pureness of our intentions. But sometimes that person makes us cry and hurts us for the wrong reasons. That someone must have loved us but he has not loved us enough to make him stand for what he truly felt.
Now, we are faced with the seemingly impossible task of forgetting. We have burdened ourselves long enough. But we still can’t get out from this emotional trap. Let us remember that the more we try to forget someone we love the more painful letting go will become.
Sometimes we never have to take that person out in our hearts at all, for he will always be there no matter how hard we try to drive him away. It isn’t his presence that made this difficult but it is our stubbornness to accept our destiny that aligns forgetting is next to impossible.
We keep a cold face but deep in our hearts there still that lingering hope for a reconciliation. Somehow, we still believe that we can rekindle small embers and relight the fire that once burned in our hearts. This thought gives us hope but it also breeds the seeds of loneliness and despair.
The only way to forget is to accept and the only way to move on is to look ahead and let the footprints of the past be blown by the wind of time. Only then can our hearts find a partner in the dance of life and hopefully never get lost again.

Here’s an article in yahoo personals that I’ve read and want to share with you. Out of 5, I got 3 1/2 signs of personal completion. Igo ko sa #2 and guilty sa #5 usahay.
Also found these quotes from the article and they are very true.
” A healthy relationship is defined by two independent people who share a love for each other but are not dependent on each other.“
“The best relationship is when two people that complete themselves come together to enjoy each other. Look for your “soul-match,” not a fantasy “soulmate” who will complete you in some way — that’s your job!”
“Remember, we attract a reflection of ourselves, so consider working on completing yourself as an investment into upping the quality of your lifetime companion.”
Here are five signs of personal completion:
1. Whether you are single or in a relationship, you cherish your alone time. You don’t feel lonely. You actually enjoy doing things on your own. A movie or dinner alone does not scare you.
2. You can be around other couples by yourself without feeling jealous or sad about not having a significant other (or not having your significant other with you).
3. The idea of being in a relationship sounds wonderful, but it is not something you obsess about everyday. If you are in a relationship, it does not consume your daily thoughts or activities.
4. You have a clear sense of who you are and what your values are — another person would not be able to sway you to sacrifice or change the things that matter to you the most.
5. You realize you are responsible for your own happiness and do not look to anyone else to make you feel a certain way. You have no expectations of what a relationship is supposed to do for you.

buhay tambay

written June 26, 2008
My unilever days ended last june 15, 2008. 
I left after dada and anj did. I have to because i realized that the job wasn’t for me and there’s another job waiting for me. Though it was “Unilever” and the pay was good, the job requires a lot of travelling and I’m not used to it. Exactly not me. People who know me well knew that I won’t stay long for that kind of job. But 3 months was like 3 years for me because I found great friends, been to places and knew stuff i didn’t know before. I’m not happy to leave but I know it’s for the best. (*crossing fingers) 
On the brighter side, I’ll be officially on board for another company on june 30. So it means I have 15 days of vacation. yey! 
Before my tambay days came, I downloaded bunch of movies and tv series and copied some of old flicks (i’ve watched and haven’t) from my cousins. I hope it would be enough because I have my part time jobs and my pamangkins to keep me busy during those days.
My 2-year old pamangkin, derek was my alarm clock every 12nn or earlier, everyday. He would jump on my bed, yell at my ear or put his fingers on my eyes while saying “tita gising na gabi na! kain na!”. My sister always ask him to wake me up because they knew when I slumber you can barely wake me up but derek is different. He won’t lay off ’til he brings you out to have lunch. So that is how i spend my first part of the day. Having lunch. Then I take a bath afterwards I bury myself to work. And then when (I think) I’m done, I indulge myself to movies and tv series which is my favorite part of the day aside from sleeping anyway and because of my hectic schedule, I usually dooze off at 4am in the morning. And this has been my routine for days. 
To name, I’ve watched lord of the rings trilogy, harry potter trilogy, bourne trilogy, shrek trilogy, mission impossible trilogy, just married, the others, shutter (english version), matrix trilogy, sex and the city (which i love), chocolate (thai), the happening, cloverfield (which sucks!), ironman, 21, definitely maybe, One tree hill – season 5, smallville – season 7, grey’s anatomy – season 4 (my favorite) and watched some episodes of gossip girl, supernatural and the hills.
This is my own version of having a vacation and over all, I was happy and satisfiied with it. I get to do what I love and spent time with myself, family, friends and jon. Too bad it’s almost over.
