Good luck to me!!!
I really feel nervous and frightened right now. I'm not that prepared for my mock defense on my research topic on Saturday. I must admit it still has loopholes. But I'm very much ready for my Consultation class. My communication plan, I believe, is something worth implementing. Imagine, two presentations in 1 day. At least after that, I will have time to prepare my case analysis for my Corporate Communication class. I say, good luck to me!!!

really touching!
My good friend khristine e-mailed this to me last year. It opened my eyes to a lot of possibilities. Now I have many what-ifs? There have been a number of guys that got away without me telling them how I feel. Yesterday, I was told by my classmate that I'm still one of those "Maria Clara" type. Actually, I'm not. I do know when to flirt sometimes!!! It's just that I don't think I have to throw myself on someone just to be noticed, although I do have means to get close to someone I like. Maybe aggresiveness is normal in our modern world but I still have inhibitions. Maybe someday, I'll try to get in touch with those people I had a "close" encounter with in the past... including the one that inspires me at present.
The one that got away

In your life, you'll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There's the one you
first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you're with... and the one that got away.
Who is the one that got away? I guess it's that person with who everything
was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was
no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn't fall the right way, I suppose.
I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a longtime partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing. It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy
romance.
How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you're
not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn't matter who you're
with, it just doesn't work. Small problems become big; inconsequentials become dealbreakers simply because you're not ready and it shows. It's not that you and the person you're with are no good; it's just that it's not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact.
Then one day you're ready. You really are. And when this happens you'll be
ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be the most perfect,
they might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your
life, but it'll work because you're ready. It'll work because it's the right time and you'll make it work. And it'll make sense, it really will.
So that day comes when you're finally making sense of things, and you find
yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want, and you've become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there's no telling when this day will come. Hopefully you're single but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn't
matter. All you know is that you've changed, and for some reason, the one
that got away, is the first person you think about.
You'll think about them because you'll wonder, "What if they were here today?" You'll wonder, "What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?" That's what the one that got away is. The biggest "What if?" you'll have in your life.
If you're married, you'll just have to accept the fact that the one that got
away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage
is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you're mature enough to realize that you're already with the one you're with and this is just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure, you'll think about him/her every so often, but it's alright. It's never nice to live with a "might have been,"
but it happens.
Maybe the one that got away is the one who's already married. In which case
it's the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you're old and gray and reminiscing.
But if neither of that is the case, then it's different. What do you do if it's not yet too late? Simple...find him, find her. Because the very existence of a "one that got away" means that you'll always wonder, what if you got that one?
Ask him out to coffee, ask her out to a movie, it doesn't matter if you've dropped in from out of nowhere. You'd be surprised, you just might be "the one that got away" as well for the person who is your "the one that got away."
You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won't make a difference. If the timing is finally right, it'll all just fall into place somehow and you know, I'm thinking, it would be a great feeling, in the end, to be able to say to someone, "Hey you, you're the one that ALMOST got away."

Stupid Girl!
Gosh, I forgot that I have no knowledge of HTML!!! Now I have to learn this language before this blog can finally be a decent one. It was my classmate Lann (a good friend as well), who helped me out with my MIS proposal last semester so I really have no idea how this HTML works. But as soon as I figure out, this site would be a blast...LOL!!! Anyways, I would like to thank those people who took time to drop by. God bless!!!

radio tripping
My choice of radio station really confuses me up to this day. I must confess I'm a television addict. If only televisions are allowed in the office, I would definitely purchase a pocket one.. if there is such a thing. I was not really a radio fan in high school. But in college, since my friends are mostly sentimental, I was also drawn to love songs. I prefer WRock and Mellow Touch that time. When I met "(never mind)", I came to love heavy metal songs and listened to NU107. I was really surprised that music such as those type can appeal to my senses. A former officemate then introduced me to LSFM, which honestly is not as "jologs" as DWRR, because they don't have the Aegis and other "kainis' singers on their playlist. Talk about competition, huh! And considering that ABS-CBN and GMA go gaga over TV ratings. And lately, I have been so engrossed to Wave 89.1 that it kinda acts as my lullaby at night. They have this unique and oh so soothing collection that you won't hear elsewhere. Most of the time, I find it really hard to find the lyrics of songs I hear from them from the internet. Check out this song that I heard from the said station a few months back and which has been my sort of theme song lately.
When Will It Be Me?
Yasmeen
I see the couples all walking by
Feels like I don't wanna be alone today
So glad no one can see what I hide deep inside
How it feels to be me
The girl who never gets the right guy
Tell me why
But there's so much I got to give
I wake up reaching out in the night
Ready to hold him tight till I realize
that nobody is there
When will it be me
When will I be the one
Somebody's dreaming of
When's it gonna be me?
When will I find my heart lying inside the arms
That never let me go
I'd really like to know
When will it be me
My friends seem to have all the love *feels like love*
Knocks on that door and walks right in
I know that I am worthy of what I've been wishing for I can't wait
no more
Like no way to be felt
When will it be me
When will I be the one
Somebody's dreaming of
When's it gonna be me? tell me
When will I find my heart lying inside the arms
That never let me go
I'd really like to know
Feeling his tender touch
Talking 'bout forever together
Giving him all my love
That's been trying to break free
Don't wanna be alone anymore
I’m telling you what I need
I want someone who loves me for me and when will it be
Wonder when it will be me
Someone is dreaming of
Inside the arms
When will it be me
When will I be the one somebody's dreaming of
Lying inside the arms
I ask myself "when will it be me?"
Hey guys... don't feel so sorry for me huh! I know someone good will come soon (keeping my fingers crossed always, hahaha). Until my next post. Ciao! :)

finally!
Gosh, I never expected I'd be into this stuff, too! It was my friend from high school, Joice who introduced me to blogging 2 years ago. At that time, I told myself, "What the heck... I don't have time for things like this." But as they say, people change. I have quite a number of friends already who are so much into blogging. And this is definitely the "in" thing lately.
So, what would my blog contain? I have no idea! I have been too busy with work and school these past few months that I rarely have time to browse the net. But this is actually a good way to "unwind" literally for I don't get to see most of my friends lately to do what else but girls stuff. Yet I'm glad that I have friends at work and in graduate school who are willing to listen to my qualms and have all been there for me though I can be annoying and crazy sometimes.
This is quite a challenge for me, you know! Most people know how reserved I can be. Even my close friends don't exactly know the real me. But I will try my best from now on to share a piece of me to you guys.
Roll the film, let the curtains open, and start the ball running. Hipe you would enjoy your visit here!
