Pink Life

pretty, nice, chill-out music



Pink Life by Gyskard

Searching for a day, a simple life
Among the clouds, the sky is blue
Water, stars falling around at night
My dream, your dream
Dreams come true,
Trying hard


Always follow what’s in your heart
Always listen to what’s inside
Always fly high & don’t come down
And don’t come


Don't push yourself far over the limit
Push your mind ahead with your spirit
Push it to where you never thought you could go right
And never come down
And never come down

You run away from very stressing life
And take some time to think of you
Try to change the color of your life
My dream, your dream
Dreams come true, Trying hard

Always follow what’s in your heart
Always listen to what’s inside
Always fly high & don’t come down
And don’t come


Don't push yourself far over the limit
Push your mind ahead with your spirit
Push it to where you never thought you could go right
And never come down
And never come down

Somewhere Down the Road

*sob*



Somewhere Down The Road by Nina

We had the right love
At the wrong time
Guess I always knew inside
I wouldn't have you for a long time
Those dreams of yours

Are shining on distant shores
And if they're calling you away
I have no right to make you stay

But somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn't really matter when
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours will come to see
That you belong with me

Sometimes goodbyes are not forever
It doesn't matter if you're gone
I still believe in us together
I understand more than you think I can
You have to go out on your own
So you can find your way back home

And somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn't really matter when
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours will come to see
That you belong with me

Letting go is just another way to say
I'll always love you so

We had the right love at the wrong time
Maybe we've only just begun
Maybe the best is yet to come

'Cause
Somewhere down the road

Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn't really matter when
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours will come to see
That you belong... with me

Goodbye Sitel

I hate to leave them but it's true that you can't serve two masters at the same time. And I have made my choice-- I have to resign from my NZ Telecom... not that I don't love the account nor do I dislike my co-employees... but I have to be practical and choose a much better paying job.

One thing's for sure... I'll miss my friends there. *sob*

New Work... again

And so... here's the job I've been waiting for-- Work From Home! The pay is compensating enough, and the account is not that toxic. You can say I'm "choosy" but I just know what my worth is. And also, with this kind of job... I can work out my other plans, like going back to school and finish my studies.

But the most important reason why I just wanted to stay at home is Jada. I just wanted to be with my daughter 24-by-7. Since I'm her only parent, I want to make sure she will grow and mature the way I wanted her to be. It's hard to be a hands-on mom if I get an office-based job. I only have one body and I can't always be with her for her needs if I'm always out.

Well, thanks to technology and innovation.

Perfect Present for Him this Holiday

I was searching for perfect gift for guys, just like for my friends and loveones this coming holiday... when I stumbled upon a good website to find the best gifts for him. This website carries a lot of products that guys would love to get as a presents... now, what gift would I buy for my guys? ;-)

For my brother- a bike enthusiast, the most perfect gift for him would be a bike rack. Allows him to save some space at home and moving it every time won't be a problem anymore since it's got a dedicated place for it already. And for my father, I'm sure he'll love organizers, such as storage bins.

How about you... do you have any idea on what will you buy your guy for the coming season?

About Forgiving

My uncle's wife just died this Monday. Honestly, I don't feel anything for her when I learned what happened. She did something "bad" to us in the past. I have forgiven her, but I just can't forget how she treated me and my siblings during the time we needed help. It's gonna be always in my memory bank and part of the hard lesson learned.

I pray for her soul. And for my mother's soul as well. Hep, it's not what you think! My mom's still alive. However, she finds it hard to forgive my late aunt. She even uttered a few unkind words with regards to her. My brother even tried to advice her to let go of the past and just forgive her since she's already dead. I know... it's not healthy for her or for anyone to hold grudges from the past. But that's how she is, sad to say.

I know she needed help. Seriously. Now I know why she's living at the dark side of of life. I came to realize I will never be like her, don't want to be like her... I want to live peacefully. Even if life has been unkind to me most of the time, still I know that my wheel of fortune will eventually turn and luck's gonna be on my side again.

It's hard to move on... but it's much harder to move forward if you'll be carrying excess baggages as you go on the journey of life.

Dancing Tight

Another one of my favorites (from way back then...) Enjoy!


Dancing Tight by Phil Fearon and Galaxy

(Dancing tight
Gonna squeeze you all night
Dancing tight
Gonna squeeze you all night)

Hey, you, looking out of your window
I've been watching you for so many days
Now I'm feeling brave enough I'm wanna ask you
Can I take you out, hey, what do you say?

I'll be throwing pebbles up at your window
So make sure that you're ready when I call

(Dancing tight) I ain't gonna let you go
(Gonna squeeze you all night)
Dancing tight, I ain't gonna let you go
(Gonna squeeze you all night) Hey, girl, what do you say?

You say you've never been dancing
Well just you watch me girl then you'll know what to do
It's easy when you feel the beat and the rhythm
'Cause that's the thing that makes your body move

Oho, we'll be gently swaying through the evening
'Till the early hours of the morning

(Dancing tight) I ain't gonna let you go
(Gonna squeeze you all night)
We could be dancing tight, I ain't gonna let you go
(Gonna squeeze you all night) Hey, girl, what do you say?

(Dancing tight) I ain't gonna let you go
(Gonna squeeze you all night) Gonna rock you 'till the morning tight
(Dancing tight) I ain't gonna let you go
Gonna squeeze you all night

(Dancing tight) I ain't gonna let you go
(Gonna squeeze you all night) Gonna rock you 'till the morning tight
(Dancing tight) I ain't gonna let you go
Gonna squeeze you all night

Right now
We could be the greatest dancers around
Baby, don't you let me down
We could really have a night on the town
Baby, don't you let me down

Don't let me down, girl, don't let me down
Don't let me down, girl, don't let me down

(Dancing tight) I ain't gonna let you go
(Gonna squeeze you all night) Hey, so get some dancing shoes on
(Dancing tight) I ain't gonna let you go
(Gonna squeeze you all night) Gonna rock you 'till the morning tight

(Dancing tight) I ain't gonna let you go
(Gonna squeeze you all night)

In-Laws

Others might disagree with me... but I don't find it hard to love my "in-laws". We get along well, as far as I'm concerned. Before, I was hesitant and having doubts that I won't be welcome anymore after what happened with me and with "him". However, we just get closer. I feel that their love for my daughter is genuine. And much as I would like to stay as far as I can from them, I'm finding it hard to deprive them of my daughter.

I know I've had my share of faults. However, they still accept and acknowledge that I'm "his" wife and would introduce me as such to other people. Well, only time can tell when I'll forgive him for what he has done to our family... but I'm still thankful for him... for his family's warm reception towards us. Even though Jada doesn't have a complete family, she still can enjoy her extended family.

I love them so much... like my own.

Hard Habit To Break

Just saw this from ASAP awhile ago and I love this version... now I'm beginning to like Jed Madela :-)




Hard Habit to Break by Jed Madela and Gary V.

I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what 'ya got until it's gone
And I found out a little too late

I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone and it all was wrong
Had no idea how much I cared

Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to 'ya babe
You're a hard habit to break

You found someone else you had every reason
I know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but living alone
I was spreading my love too thin

After all of these years
I'm still tryin' to shake it
Doin' much better they say that it just takes time
But deep in the night is an endless fight
I can't get 'ya out of my mind

Being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
I don't want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier
Its the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break

Oooh

I can't go on
(Just can't go on)
I can't go on
(Just can't go on)

Being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
I don't want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier
Its the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break
Such a hard habit to break

I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break
Such a hard habit to break
I'm addicted to you baby

Bonding moments with Jada

Jada and I spent the weekend with my officemates in one of the executive rooms at Linden Suites last Friday. Actually, it's our class' prize for winning from the PPHD launch held two weeks ago at Phi Bar. I know our class will win, for we got our own class' version of "Destiny's Child/Pussycat Dolls"... even they're not full-pledge girls (if you know what I mean!). Anyhow, they're super talented and our Kiwi bosses like their performance sooo much. So, the credit really goes out to them. Nikki, our Kiwi trainor, bought our class 6 boxes of pizza as her treat for making her class win.

I decided to take her along with me so that she can get some fresh air and comfortable bed to sleep with even for a night even though she's a bit unwell last week. Almost every two weeks, Jada's either got a fever, colds, cough or all. Too bad, I don't have HMO yet since I'm still under proby status with the new company. Our house is too small and we can't afford to squeeze-in her own toddler bed. The ventilation is not good enough as well, which I think is the main reason why she's always had cough and colds.

Going back, she had her fun at the jacuzzi. I know it's gonna do good for her because of the warm water. But then, I never imagine that I can spend time with my friends, with my daughter tagged along and have so much fun at the same time.

Old Photographs

I miss this moments!!!



Hell Hole

I'm trap
In this dark pit
How can I get out
Could somebody save me from sinking?

Or is this just a nightmare
Somebody then wake me
Slowly suffocating
Or is this a prelude to dying?

Worries away

The last two weeks that passed hasn't been good for me. I got flu, and so did Jada. And instead of us spending the weekend playing and bonding, we ended up bonding with the doctors and nurses 'coz I rushed her to the nearest hospital.

Now, I got to appreciate the need to own an HMO. For emergency cases like this. Lately, Jada's been getting a little "sickly". She's either on fever, LBM or allergies. I've been taking care of her personally because I thought it's just her way of "diverting" my attention. But it's different this last time she got ill... I really cried while I was carrying her in my arms. Her fever was on 40°C and she's sleeping as if she's not breathing anymore. Even if I tried waking her up, she just kept her eyes close and the meds were not helping her.

I just wept silently so as not to draw attention to us. And prayed. I don't know what came over me... all I thought back then was that I was a big failure. I wasn't able to provide her complete family and good home. If things would get worse, I was ready to let go of her if that's what God wants for us. But I know if that will happen, I might as well go with her.

After a few minutes, she opened her eyes and hold my cheek. And smiled. I just hugged her tight then. And then, the doctors sent us home because her test got negative result. Hayyy, now I know how it feels to be in hell and in heaven at the same time.

I'm so over-dramatic, I know. But you can never control your feelings especially if it involves the person you love so much.

First Post for September

No time to blog at home. My PC died two weeks ago (huhu!) and my internet is already disconnected (blame it for being 3 months jobless)... but good thing, I can still visit my blog every now and then using the office PC.

The opps available in PPP are not of my interest. Even the opps from my essay job are not within my field and knowledge, too. The home based job that didn't pay me doesn't have alternative work to offer me as of now. Hayyy, no opportunities to earn extra.

I'm loving my work bit by bit everyday. The customers are not hard to deal with. The kiwi bosses are a-OK (much better than Pinoy trainors, they're lenient and straight-forward but helpful and understanding)! And just today, got to be a bit g-lish when I notice that the guy sitting beside me is "cute" (hahaha, high school!). Well, I saw him everyday but we belong to a different class. And today the trainor assigned me to take the seat beside him which is empty. He helped me, lend me his pen (uh, thank goodness I don't have one hahaha) and very friendly. But you know, being the reserved me-- I just smiled back and kept quiet (pa-cute, in other words!). Small talk. Made me conscious of my accent and my look so I hurried to the powder room. Great! Buti na lang I wear skirt. Nyahaha, crush na itoh!

Now, I'm looking forward going to work everyday. Sorry, I'm back in high school (lols).

Howdy!

Nothing much to blog nowadays... maybe it's because I'm a bit pre-occupied lately. But just so, I miss blogging. Just bloghoppin'

My Annual Plan

Yes I know, it's August already and here I am-- just starting to make my life plans. Lol!

I don't know what came over me today while I was on training and we're just doing nothing. Most of the time when I'm not pre-occupied, thoughts come in out of nowhere. So going back, I found myself asking "after the chaos that happened the past few months, what's next?"

Then, the management team of our account visited our class to introduce themselves. They're going to be our bosses once we hit the floor. Hmm, I've been working in this industry for almost 4 years... I was never promoted in CVG even though I was given the chance to handle several leadership responsibilities... I applied thrice, but I just got until the final interview... maybe, I should give myself 3 months to get used to the account, 6 months to a year to be promoted as a Team Manager. This is a pioneer account, we are a pioneer batch... I should be promoted already!

I'm ambitious. I have to because my daughter is depending on me. So if I still don't get promoted here with my new employer, much as I regret to leave the country-- but I have to and I sure will-- have to go out abroad to seek for greener pasture... for me and my only family-- Jada.

With the cost of living and the current wage I'm getting, I can't turn my other "bigger" plans into reality. I've got a lot of bills to pay. I'm not ashame to admit that I'm in debt-- and I need to finish them off so that I can start anew. With two families depending on me, sometimes I have to set aside paying my other debts so that I can also provide for them... but this has to stop. Heck, they're all grown-ups! It's high time that I should only think of me and my daughter's future and nobody else.

I hope luck's on my side now-- and forever. Please...

Stupidity

Here I am again, blogging because I can't sleep. Because I'm waiting for a phone call... wait, did I say "waiting?" Sorry, I blogged days ago that waiting is something which I hated doing most. But just because of one being (if you're my friend it's not hard for you to decipher this), now waiting is an art that I need to learn. Expectation is always there, you see. However...

I really don't find it healthy at all... pausing and changing the pace of your life because I need to wait. The world turns round so fast... life is always in a hurry nowadays... and there are more things worthy of my attention. I always bear that in mind, but most of the time I forgot it... hell yah-- my heart is bigger than my brain y'know.

So, so stupid!!! Until now, I'm still trying to get a hold of myself and put it back into place. Waiting is really hard for me, I can't afford to waste time. So Jaq-- better get movin' or the bus of life will leave you! You're not stupid... just almost crazy (in love)!
