Typhoon 'Ondoy' left a lot of Filipinos homeless. Rizal, our hometown, was one of the places that was severely hit by Ondoy. My family was very fortunate to have been spared of the flood (we live in Taytay) but we're sad for our neighboring town, Cainta and Marikina who suffered severely. Some relatives experienced floods and damaged most of their possessions:( Many colleagues from work also suffered a lot and are slowly trying to put everything back together with the help of family, friends, and co-workers.
We've heard and seen on tv how the typhoon hit us. I was speechless... I don't know what to say... You can only sympathize with the people affected but you'll never know how they really felt at the time when they were struggling to save not just their possessions but most importantly their own lives and the lives of their loved ones...
It made me realize (more sincerely) that everything we have, even our lives, are just TEMPORARY. And we have no hold of what's to happen to us.
We ignore and waste food, water, and other basic necessities like we're never gonna run out of it. And we'll only realize their importance when we have little or almost nothing left of it. To live for a day or two with no electricity leaves us helpless and paralyzed. Sometimes, we really have to learn our lesson the hard way :(
But Filipinos never lose hope. We know that we'll survive this. Let's keep on praying that everything's gonna be okay. God will provide :)

A hole in my heart
I need an inspiration and motivation ASAP!
I'm on emo mode since last week. I was thinking to myself, what am I living for? Corny man, feel na feel kong magpaka-emo. I just feel that I've been going through the motions of living without a purpose and enthusiasm.
But then again, I always tell myself that it's okay to feel this way sometimes but not careeran :) I feel that it's a phase where you get to reflect on the things you've done, supposed to have done or regret doing, and make it an excuse if not an inspiration to do better in the days ahead.
I'm just hoping for a little sunshine to keep me going...

Bob Ong's Quotes
Nothing can be more inspiring than to read quotes that are written in TAGALOG. Tagos sa buto 'ika nga.
Here are a few of Bob Ong's original quotes in Tagalog. Aww!
1. “Kung hindi mo mahal ang isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya..”
2. “Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba.”
3. “Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang.”
4. “Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na.”
5. “Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin.”- Hahaha Sabi naman ni Juan tamad, “Babalik at babalik parin ang elevator, kaya mas maganda na maghintay ka nalang”
6. “Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din.”
7. “Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang.”
8. “Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa.”
9. “Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka.. Kaya quits lang.”
10. “Kung dalawa ang mahal mo, piliin mo yung pangalawa. Kasi hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo talaga yung una.”
11. “Hindi porke’t madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text ng wantusawa eh may gusto sayo at magkakatuluyan kayo. Meron lang talagang mga taong sadyang friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall o paasa.” -
12. “Huwag magmadali sa babae o lalaki. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon, mag-iiba ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong hindi pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang maganda o nakakalibog ito. Totong mas mahalaga ang kalooban ng tao higit sa anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan nagmumukha ding pandesal, maniwala ka.”
13. “Minsan kahit ikaw ang nakaschedule, kailangan mo pa rin maghintay, kasi hindi ikaw ang priority.”
14. “Mahirap pumapel sa buhay ng tao. Lalo na kung hindi ikaw yung bida sa script na pinili nya.”
15. “Alam mo ba kung gaano kalayo ang pagitan ng dalawang tao pag nagtalikuran na sila? Kailangan mong libutin ang buong mundo para lang makaharap ulit ang taong tinalikuran mo.”
16. “Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala.”
17. “Hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohan, at hindi lahat ng hindi mo kayang intindihin ay kasinungalingan”
18. “Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!”
19. “Ang pag-ibig parang imburnal…nakakatakot mahulog…at kapag nahulog ka, it’s either by accident or talagang tanga ka..”
hahaha! funny but true :)

Hacker on the loose!
I'm currently in the process of clearing my emails/personal messages in my yahoo and social network account because of the hacking attempt 2 weeks ago. I don't want that stalker to get to know me more by reading my personal messages.
I felt violated. Kakainis!
A normal individual won't do that. And to invade someone's privacy is a big NO NO for me. That's OBSESSION, CRAZY and REALLY PATHETIC! Hope he'll somehow realize that.
And I'm actually contemplating on deleting my Friendster account and signing up for a new yahoo mail account just to be safe:)
Hay...

Singapore
I just realized that I haven't blogged about my Singapore trip yet. I'm feeling kinda lazy these days...
My trip to Singapore was really worth it. I especially like their transportation system. There's no traffic and no pollution at all. It may be good to visit the place once in a while but I can't imagine myself working or living there, away from my family. It may take a lot of courage, I think, before I can consider working abroad. That's why I admire my friends who leave their comfort zones and try their luck abroad.
Enough of the emo mood, here are some of my favorite pictures.

The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr
