Friends

I have long-time friends that have survived my bouts with just about everything I've done, been and have become in life. They saw me through school, gimmicks, experimentations, a lot of firsts, family crisis, farewells, petty arguments, life-changing decisions, verbal wars, emotional breakdowns..

This was an unpublished post from long ago. Looking back at it now, it still holds true of course. Friends have been there for me when even my own family was not. A substitute for whatever I lacked but needed. And my point is? I don't know. I guess, I just want to show appreciation and gratitude and will forever be indebted to the people who showed genuine concern and empathy at my lowest of lows.

The world can be cruel yes, but somehow there is still beauty in it. A kind heart might just be the best thing this world can offer. Don't you think so too?

You're Bosnia-Herzegovina!

You've just been through a big tragedy.  You weren't sure you were
going to make it at all.  Now that you have, there's a lot to pick back up in your
life, and not enough people are helping you.  You just wanted a little more freedom,
a chance to be away from those who thought poorly of you.  Now it's time to build up
some confidence, and it looks like you have a good chance at that.  But you'll need
a lot of therapy.

Phone conversation between me and my US teammate discussing a new coding task.
Tom Dyer: Go ahead and do the mental legwork for now.
Me: Uhm... (giggling) ok no problem.
Tom Dyer: Well, you know what I mean. Mental. Legwork.. Whatever.

30-minute coding, testing, implementation, baby!

To Tom:

Hey Tom,
It was great working with you on this. A nice adrenaline run. Till next time!

Ha-ha.

From Tom:
Great working with you.

Great job.

Question.

May bibig ba si Hello Kitty?"
If yes, "Eh bakit ang taba niya? Paano siya kumakain?"

Not me.

From a friend:

Tapos nagbihis na ako... nung patapos na... amoy ipis ang kamay ko. inamoy ko katawan ko, towel ko, di naman... so deadma lang. wash hands na lang ako. Dali-daling bumaba at since wala pa ang shuttle niligpit ko na yung mga BBW(basta stuff). inalis ko from the box at nilipat sa plastic. natapos ko yung 2 shipments... 2 big boxes sya....
umupo ako.. nagpahinga... until i felt something na parang gumalaw sa may boobs ko... tinignan ko... waaaaaa..... nagsisisigaw ako..... and nalaglag ko din yung gumagalaw... ipis... kadiri..... AYAW KO NA NG BROWN NA BRA... WAAAAAAA.... nagmadali ako tanggalin ang bra at wash my boobs.. .no time na maligo kasi padating na shuttle....
Thankful ako na late ang shuttle.. otherwise either sa shuttle or sa office ako nag hysterical....

I'm Not Missing You. Stacie Orrico.

Oh, Oh
Im not missing you
Been through just about everything that I could go through
When it comes to relationships
Dont know what I was missing or why I aint listen
When I told myself that was it
Now here I go, hurt again
Cause of my curiousity
Now that its over
What else could it be he just had to cheat

I made a promise never to settle
Why didnt I keep it?
Cause I hated the heartbreak
Crying and cheating, the fooling around

[Chorus]
(But) Im not missing you
Im not going through the motions
Waiting and hoping you call me
Im not missing you
You might have had me open
But I must be going because
I got life to do
I know Im usually hanging on
I used to hate to see you gone
But this time its different
I dont even feel the distance
Im not missing
Im not missing you

Its a shame in a way cause
I feel that I may not ever find the right one for me
Did I leave him, is he right in front of my face oh
Will my true love ever be?
Why would I go on a search again
When I know what the end will be
What good is love when it keeps on hurting me?

I made a promise never to settle
Why didnt I keep it?
Cause I hated the heartbreak
Crying and cheating, the fooling around

[Chorus x2]

No I cant be with you
Cause I'm scared felt like I was falling when you left me
I cant keep going through life
Unaware of what I missed
And the person I could be
Love's good when its right
And when it's left in your memory
All the times I let you down
I guess love will be nice for someone elses life

[Chorus]

Im not going through the motions
Waiting and hoping you call me
You might have had me open
But I must be going because
I know Im usually hanging on
I used to hate to see you gone
Oh different, feel the distance
Im not missing
Im not missing you

Ultimate Pain

What's your ultimate pain?

Every one of us here has their own version.

Right now, I'm having it. It.

Like I don't wanna hang around normal people anymore 'cause I'm not feeling the least bit normal.

Hold on. There is a point to this post...

Shi-yeeet.

Move on.

Shit happens.

What Number Are You?

You Are 4: The Individualist

You are sensitive and intuitive, with others and yourself. You are creative and dreamy... plus dramatic and unpredictable. You're emotionally honest, real, and easily hurt. Totally expressive, others always know exactly how you feel.

The Five Factor Values Test

Your Values Profile

Loyalty: You value loyalty a fair amount. You're loyal to your friends... to a point. But if they cross you, you will reconsider your loyalties. Staying true to others is important to you, but you also stay true to yourself. Honesty: You don't really value honesty. You do value getting your way, no matter what. And if a little lying is required to do that, no problem. A few white lies never hurt anyone (at least, that's what you tell yourself!) Generosity: You value generosity a fair amount. You are all about giving, as long as there's some give and take. Supportive and kind, you don't mind helping out a friend in need. But you know when you've given too much. You have no problem saying "no"! Humility: You value humility a fair amount. You tend to be an easy going, humble person. But occasionally your ego takes over. You have a slight competitive streak - and the need to be the best. Tolerance: You value tolerance a fair amount. You are open to new cultures, beliefs, and ideas. You have very few prejudices that you're aware of. And while you are tolerant, you do stand true to what you believe.

What's Your Love Style

Your Love Style is Eros

For you, love is all about the passion! And chances are, you're currently in love. You have a strong physical response to love... And you are great at committing (As long as the person makes your toes curl!)

Inside the Room of Your Soul

What Your Soul Really Looks Like

You are a wanderer. You constantly long for a new adventure, challenge, or even a completely different life. You are a very grounded, responsible, and realistic person. People may not want to hear the truth from you, but they're going to get it. You believe that people see you as larger than life and important. While this is true, they also think you're a bit full of yourself. Your near future is calm, relaxing, and pretty much what you want. And it's something you've been anticipating for a while now. For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust.
