Three Blissful Years

I just celebrated my third year as an Ateneo employee last October 20, 2011. I was apparently shocked when the computer started to play a 'Happy Anniversary' song when I logged out during lunch break. I was that surprised because I was convinced that my anniversary was October 22, which was a Saturday, and then later on, I found out that I was two days late based on the HRIS.

Three years. Three long years. I've never thought that I would last that long in ONE particular job. Just to give you context, I had my first job a month after graduation in a local company where I worked as an HR staff. I was in charge of recruitment and manpower planning. It was some sort of a dream come true since I was really all geared up for HR work. Eventually, after 3 months, I decided to quit my job, not because I don't LOVE my job, it's just that there are some practices in the company which are against my own personal values. I did not regret my decision to leave the company, it was even more of a relief since I no longer have the dilemma of choosing what I WANT to do and what MUST I do.

Later on, upon deep discernment, I decided to try my luck in Manila. I was lucky to land a job in BPI but I decided to leave after the probationary period. Why? I had issues with my boss then. It was more of a struggle for me. I wanted to have that experience, that work experience where I will learn to love what I am doing even if it would mean deviating from my field. I had that inclination to experience work as it is and eventually, for me to establish and be clear with what I want in life but my experience in BPI was not even in par with my expectation. Perhaps, it was more of the disdain that I felt towards my boss with how he treats me at work. It's as if I was never human at all. Sheesh, even PROBINSYANAS have feelings too.

After my bad experience with BPI, I finally landed in IBM. I worked as a Customer Representative. The job was painstaking, not to mention that you have to adjust your lifestyle due to the work schedule. Nevertheless, I loved my job and everything about IBM. I had the chance to work with a super nice boss and a hardworking team. What made the work easier is the supportive people around me. Up until now, we're good friends, we're still communicating and I am really looking forward to meet them soon *fingers crossed*. However, the job was not meant for me. After spending a year in IBM, I forced to resign due to health reasons. My body was giving up on me. It goes with the saying 'the body is weak but the spirit is willing'. My parents asked me to return to my hometown and I did. That was the time when ADNU had a vacancy, the Ignatian Formation Center needed an Administrative Assistant and I applied. And I am still making my own history ;)

Three years. It was during these three years in ADNU that I learned how special the Ateneo community is. If there is really one thgaing that I am proud of ADNU, it's the community. From helping a sick member to extending support in Basketball games, the ADNU community is really one of a kind. Whenever there are instances that we are to sing the REGNUM DEI, I feel really proud inside not only because of the song but how the essence of the song transcends in the community. Also, in these three long years, I am thankful that I have friends who really stood by me through thick and thin, through mood swings and kabaduyan, who understood and accepted every inch of my imperfection. I mean this, without them, I may never be celebrating my three years in ADNU. I have many things to thank for in my three years, maybe I need to have a separate blog for that. Yes, I think so. So, to you, may you be blessed with three wonderful years and counting in your career, relationship or whatever it is that you are engaged in. Enjoy life and live according to the purpose of your creation.

Good Old Fellow

Ever since I was a kid, my family has always been fond of dogs. I literally grew up admiring them, with how they respond to my uncle’s soft touches at the bottom of their jaw, how they would either sit still or would run around the house when they are bathed and how they can feel if you’re having a bad day and suddenly, you’d just find them sitting beside, as if they’re sharing your pain.

I have seen a number of dogs in our house. I saw them grew from puppies to big bullies and I can clearly remember how each of them were taken away from us. But this time, it’s quite different. From all the dogs that we had, this dog was really special. I knew right from the moment that I saw her, she is one dog that will change our lives forever.

It was 6:30am, Saturday, October 29, 2005 when I heard a tiny barking sound at the house. I knew that I was not dreaming, it had to be real, it has to be a puppy. We were expecting Papa to arrive that day, he came all the way from Laguna to bring mamaold to the airport who was bound for London then. When I heard the sound again, I immediately rose from bed and went downstairs. When I reached the stairs, a tiny puppy was staring at me, she was sitting at the center of our sala and was barking hard at me. I said to the puppy “Aba, ang tapang tapang mo ah, ang liit liit mo lang ah” and as if she understood me, she barked even loudly. I called my mom and asked where the puppy came from, she said papa brought it home from Laguna. The puppy was placed in a box with a tiny hole while they were traveling from Laguna to Bicol and mama mentioned that papa didn’t get enough sleep because he has to check on the puppy from time to time. From that day on, our lives changed.

My family decided to call her ‘Bunso’ but mamaold suggested to call her ‘Spotty’ because of her tiny black spot on the back. Spotty was not an ordinary dog. There was days when she would amaze the entire family. There was one instance when it was raining hard and her abode was already transferred to mamaold’s place when in the middle of night, I heard a puppy crying outside. I had to call my mom to let her listen to the sound, I was convincing her that it was Spotty. My mama was trying to explain to me that it would be too impossible for Spotty to reach the door because it would be too dark for her to find her way to our house and she can’t possibly recall how to get to our house. When the crying didn’t stop, I had to open the door to see what’s making the sound and there, I saw her, dripping and chilling under the cold rain. I immediately embraced her and dried her fur and we decided to let her stay in the house overnight.

For 7 years, Spotty never failed to amaze us. She’s not the rowdy type of dog, she’s more poised and smart. Whenever we would spend Christmas and New Year together, Spotty would always have a special spot at the house where she can watch TV and eat at the same time. Spotty knows how to behave inside the house. Whenever papa would bathe her, she would always go to each of our rooms to check if everyone is there. She would sniff the bedsheets, the computer chairs and would even put her paws in mama’s lap whenever she’s too busy with her uniform deadlines to notice her.

Up until this time, I could not believe that she’s gone. She passed away this morning, pregnant. Mama said she was not able to endure the pain during birth labor that’s why she died. We did not expect that. We were too excited for her, for her babies, for a bigger puppy family.

I could not believe that she was suddenly taken away from us. I know that for some this might be crazy but we really treated her as part of the family. The dog became part of us. We will definitely miss her. Her kaartehan with food, her sweetness and the joy she brings us everytime. By the way, she loves Asado Pandesal from Graceland, she never eats leftovers, she’s given Tiki-tiki for her vitamins and cheese-flavored crackers for her snacks.

Maybe, if there is a puppy heaven, I think she’s up there looking down at us, still trying to protect. She has been a good dog. She has never hurt anyone. She was our source of happiness especially to my parents. Nevertheless, I am glad. I’m glad that God gave us a dog like her because if not for her, our family would not be this close. Thank you, Spotty. I will miss you old fellow… a lot.

Debosyon

The image of the Divino Rostro (a picture of Jesus' face) is usually processed before the Holy image of INA is transferred from the Penafrancia Shrine to the Cathedral. The image was believed to be miraculous and  that early devotees even witnessed the image sweating blood. I was very privilege to have an opportunity to witness how the Bicolanos revere the holy image. It was the first time for me to stay for the entire duration of the procession. I felt it in my heart that I had to wait for INA to pass by and I did not regret it. Every rainfall, every struggle trying to protect the newly bought camera of my brother and every tiring muscle that's driving me to just stay home and watch the procession was really worth it. Never in my life have I witnessed such beauty, such devotion and the love of the Bicolanos to the Divino Rostro and our Lady of Penafrancia.

Love at First Sight

I can't really remember how I came across Tin Roque's site but I can clearly recall how my eyes feasted on her remarkable layouts and of course, her collection. I was new with online selling then and I was looking for the perfect layout. Maybe it was because of sheer luck or perhaps divine intervention brought me to her site. All I know is that, instantly, it was love at first sight.

What really makes Posh and Pretty Shop unique is the seller behind it. Tin Roque, at first glance, may look intimidating but when you get the chance to know her better, you'll definitely fall in love with her. She is very sweet and one of the nicest person that I came across with. Even her kindness radiates in every collection of Posh and Pretty. Every collection reflects the labor, the time and the insurmountable effort of Tin to make the collection perfect for every girl. Undoubtedly, every collection is really worth the wait.
Tin also has this innate aura to inspire other girls to look and feel great about themselves despite of who they are and where they came from. It seems very natural for people to be drawn to her. Even I, myself, could not believe that I am friends with her. Maybe because we have a lot of similarities, from being a blue-blooded Atenean to having an almost similar love story.  What I really admire about Tin is her passion in her work, from the super gorgeous layouts to the unique collections, and her dedication being a full-time mom. I know I will become a mom someday and should that day come, I want to be just like her.

Honestly, if I had not known Posh and Pretty Shop, I would not even have my own online shop. P&P is my shop's inspiration, that I should not just be contented with the profits but more of making people feel good about themselves, making them more confident and making them believe that they can do wonders, because P&P did that to me. P&P may just be an online shop but the experience with P&P's seller is just one of a kind.

"Whoever said that looking good need not to be expensive might just take his words back because every penny counts with Posh and Pretty Shop."
Posted below are layout designs of my personal multiply site and my online shop, Pink Chamomile's Closet. Want a layout like this? Please feel free to contact Tin Roque of Posh and Pretty Shop.

Happy Long Weekend

Thank you Lord for giving me the opportunity to spend time with my family ;)

Thank you too for the shrimp ;)

Thoughts

Just because you don’t have a love life, 
doesn’t mean you don't have to love life.

Sound Judgement

I am really exasperated with the results of the Cheer and Dance Competition. If you were there, I know what I'm talking about. For the record, I am writing this blog to express what I am feeling now, this is not to defend AS or anything. I am writing this now because what I saw earlier during the colleges' presentation is contradictory with the results.

Assumption. AS and ABBS committed a number of deductions because 'some' of the stunts were done outside the rubber mat. I think we must review the video documentation of the presentation so we could re-check and re-asses whether these violations really transpired because as far as I know, I was sitting in front, three rows away from the main stage, and I didn't see any stunt done outside the rubber mat.

Assumption. One of the judges gave a whooping 400 PERFECT point to the winner.  Talk about sound judgement huh? To top it all off, we cannot even question the credibility of the judges. Too bad the point system is not averaging :( Implication?  When a judge, at least one of them, gave a perfect score to one of the colleges and decided to give the rest half the score, of course, there would be a big difference in the score gaps.

Assumption. Assuming that one of the judges really gave a perfect score to the winner, where did she based this? Was the act of judging just a pure hypocrisy? Did she just sat there and just decided to give that particular college a perfect score? Yes, I understand that we could not question the credibility of the judges, it is irrevocable according to the policy. However, we also have the right to be informed how she came up with that score. I mean, I am not saying that it would be too impossible for a cheer and dance group to garner a perfect score but if you were only there to witness the performance, even you would not believe that it was worth the perfect score.

Again, let me clarify that I have nothing against UECS winning the competition but I think it was not a fair competition. I have been a regular spectator of the cheer and dance competition, I am not an expert, but I think I can still clearly JUDGE whether a group is in sync or not. I am convinced until now that AS should not be in the 5th place and this goes to ABBS as well.

I am deeply disappointed, truly I am. I cannot even bear to see the faces of the kids at the gym when Raffy Magno announced the winners. I can feel their pain, I can feel that they too were shocked because we all saw how hard they practiced for their routines. This is not just a cheer and dance competition, it's about the discipline, the dedication and the commitment of these kids, the sacrifices that they made just to represent and make their college proud. I just hope that all these things would not be put to waste just because of a STUPID JUDGEMENT.

In God's perfect TIME

Such a cliche isn't it? We've been hearing this phrase but it seems ineffable in real life. Even I can't seem to understand what it means, particularly if it has something to do with my career. Ok, you might be wondering where I'm coming from.

It was September 15, 2011 when I finally had the courage to write my boss about my request to be transferred to the new Alumni Office. The office will be managed by Mr. Karl Llorin, the former USRO director and is currently the Presidential Assistant for International and Alumni Affairs. I was hesitant at first for fear that she might not permit me and when I had the will power to type my sentiments in a one page letter, I simply had to let the flow carry me through. I believe it was the spirit who was guiding me.

Eventually, my boss is on retreat that time so I just had to ask my friend to bring it to her at the retreat house. The retreat went on for 3 days and counting the days felt like weeks. I told myself that I had to anticipate a 'NO' from her. So you could really sense the feeling of surprise when she said that it was ok with her, that I just needed to formalize the request and we're good to go.

A few weeks after, application letters from the Personnel Services were coming in the office. I was glad, liberation has finally come, I said to myself. Then, there she was, the applicant who stood out in the interview with the DAVP. They were two af first but my boss had to prioritize the older applicant, maybe because she is more mature for the job. Eventually, just last Wednesday, the supposed-to-be-replacement went to the office and from the look of the DAVP's face, I knew that something was wrong. Alas! Indeed, there was. She was apologizing to the DAVP since she could no longer work at the institution since her boss (her current employer) did not allow her to resign.

Now, I am still stuck at the DAVP Office, still hoping and praying that my replacement will SOON come. If only I could command the applicant to FAST TRACK everything, not because I wanted to leave the DAVP ASAP, but because there are a lot of things that we still need to settle with our new office. Even Herold, a very good friend, shared that I have the right to leave the office even without the replacement because in the very first place, it was not my fault that SHE backed out. I'd like to entertain his point but I doubt if it is okay with the DAVP.

Life, oh life. Really, waiting is inevitable. Too bad I don't have the 'quality' of patience that He does. I just hope that there is a reason for this delay. That with the current circumstances, He has really not forgotten me because I know one day, someday, I am BOUND to understand how God defines TIME.

Miss Minchin

Currently listening to: A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton

Date: August 11, 2011

Time: 7:16am

I had a good sleep last night, I decided to sleep early and reschedule the meeting with the dormers since I was feeling dizzy, maybe because, again, it’s over fatigue. I can clearly remember that it was I think two days ago when I felt like my heart was being crushed by a mason, I couldn’t breathe but after a few minutes, my breathing was back to normal. Yes, am not healthy, I guess.

So many things happened since the last time I wrote on my blog. I became the prefect of the Xavier Ladies’ Dorm just last April, the same period when I was entertaining the thought of leaving Ateneo for good, to try to explore a different world outside the country. However, it did not materialize because of the dorm assignment. Fr. Tabora was looking for new prefects to manage the four dormitories and am not sure until now if it is a blessing or a burden to me but definitely, it is a very challenging task that I must take on.

The first time that I stepped on the stairs of the dormitory felt awkward. It was a mark of total surrender and not to mention, sacrifice. I have to take care of 27 souls, I have to be their guardian, I have to be their second mom or ate. Up until today, I cannot fathom whether I made the right decision or not. I knew right then, from the time I said yes to Fr. Tabora, that my life will change. However, I never felt any kind of regret. Even if it means that I have to spend less time with my family and significant other. I know that not everyone is given the chance to make a difference in somebody else’s life and I was one of the few. I will offer them what I have, be with them through their journey and try my best to manage them the way I know how.

All this for the greater glory of His kingdom.

Thank you po Sir Thomas :)

When you thought I wasn't looking

Author: Unknown

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator,

and I wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you feed a stray cat,

and I thought it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you make my favorite cake for me,

and I knew that little things are special things.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I heard you say a prayer,

and I believed that there was a God to talk to.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I felt you kiss me goodnight,

and I felt loved.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw tears come from your eyes,

and I learned that sometimes things hurt,

but it's alright to cry.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw that you cared,

and I wanted to be everything that I could be.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I looked....

and I wanted to say thanks for all the things

I saw when you thought I wasn't looking.

Thank you Ptr. Basil Santos for sharing this wonderful poem. Happy Father's Day to all the Tatays out there!

Ligaya's Motto

Blair Waldorf

I've always been a fan of Leighton Meester. I was awed by how she carries herself and her kikay outfit when I met her as Blaire Waldorf from Gossip Girl. Since then, I was in love with her.. haha! Anyhow, just sharing a painting I got from google which depicts her 'maldita' personality :)

True?

Making Every Moment Count

By: Author Unknown

This one time I painted a living room with a girl.

This was a handful of years back. It was about eight months before the huge, flame-out of a breakup. That day, though? That day we painted the living room? It was pretty uneventful. We painted my parents living room for $50 between us and a pizza. That was it. I think we watched Anchorman or something after that.

But it still holds as on of the most indelible memories I have. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not still in love, it happened, it was good, it ended, and we’ve both moved on. But I’ll never forget that day. Because it’s never, in the long run, about the grand gestures. You can fly across the world and show up on her doorstep with a rose in your teeth and a ring in a little velvet box but I can guarantee you that - more often than not - she’s going to remember the time you built the birdhouse in the back yard, or what have you, a whole lot more.

Life wasn’t meant to be taken in large movements. The next day will inevitably arrive, you’ll sleep, and the moment will have passed. But when you have a hundred thousand small moments, you can step back and appreciate the picture a lot more than metaphorically blowing your load on some grand moment that, in all honesty, look, you’re not Bruce Fucking Springsteen, you’re not going to be able to blow everyone’s mind every single night. You’re not Romeo and/or Juliet. There’s no reason to drink the poison together in some flame-out gesture. So that leaves us with the small stuff. It’s all about the detail.

That’s what love is. Attention to detail.

And the moment will end. And then things will get boring. And it might get a little quiet. And it might all end horribly. And you might hate each other at the end. And you might walk away from each other one day and never speak again. But that’s just how it goes.

But she’ll remember the time you held the door open for her on your first date.

She’ll remember the time you laughed at her impression of the landlady.

She’ll remember the time you stayed up all night that first time.

She’ll remember the small things a lot longer than the big ones.

But everything ends. And I’ll tell you why you have to make the small things, the small moments count so much more:

One day, probably a while longer from now, when old age takes ahold of someone, she might just only remember your smile. Everything you ever did together, every second, every moment, every beat, every morning spent in bed, every evening spent together on the sofa, all of that - gone. Everything you ever did will be reduced to the head of a pin. She won’t remember your name. She’ll just remember your smile, and she’ll smile. She won’t know why. It’s a base, gut reaction. But she’ll smile, uncontrollably, and it will come from somewhere so deep as to know that you touched her on a primal, honest, and true level that no scientist, scholar, or savant could everbegin to explain. There is no more. There is nothing else. There is just this: She’ll remember your smile, and she’ll smile.

And you know what? That’s all that really matters in the end.

The Art of Letting Go

By: Author Unknown

One of the reasons why people get so sentimental,

it’s because memories are the only things that don’t change when everything else does.

Sometimes destiny isn’t always good, it becomes playful..

When you meet someone you learned to love, you thought that it was destiny who made your paths cross.

But what if making your paths cross is just a part of the game that the playful destiny created?

Making you realize in the end that the person you thought that was destined for you wasn’t really meant to stay…

But only destined to make you feel love and leave you when you’ve already fallen.

It’s not easy to state a reason when you decide to leave your love.

Some might think it’s just an excuse… some might not actually believe… some will blame you... some might even be mad at you...

What they don’t see is the fact that it hurts you even more to hurt someone who doesn’t deserve to be hurt…

Especially when you can’t actually state the reason why you have to leave…

You can never own something that was never yours… so let’s stop gripping on things we expect to last forever.

Nothing lasts forever.

Forever is a lie.

Everything is transitory.

So while you have something in your hand, put in mind that it’s just borrowed.

So that someday when it’s gone, it won’t take you eternity just to let go.

When your feelings get strong for someone, it’s always wise to stop for a while and give your heart a time to breathe.

A time to use your mind to weigh the situation based on reason not on emotion…

Because the saddest thing that can happen is when one falls in love while the other wants nothing more than friendship…

Love can sometimes be magic… but magic can sometimes be an illusion…

There are times when I wish that I was limited to certain emotions…

So that I’ll never have to experience pain, never feel betrayed or disappointed and never get my fragile heart broken…

But the same thing means that I’ll never know how it feels to love and be loved in return..

The thought of it kind of scares me…

To have a heart that’s whole but numb or a heart that’s broken but real…

Someday, we’ll all be looking back to those days we learned to love, get hurt, cry and fight.

Maybe when that time comes, we’ll be laughing at our dumb selves realizing how stupid we were to stand up for things we knew weren’t really meant for us

But I guess learning takes time and mistakes make one’s journey fun…

Life is what we make it.

Love makes the world go round.

So let’s live, love and take whatever pain it brings…

Though it’s hard to wait around for something that I know will never happen

It’s harder to stop when I know it’s everything I’ve always wanted…

But you know what I’m glad…

I’m glad it happened…
