i'm loving every day. i'm energized with every new discovery. i'm proud of where i belong. i look forward to destination 2011. cheers!

what is IS ...

"what is IS, and no amount of gnashing teeth on my part will change that."

i have been anticipating the release of the 3rd book of the inheritance cycle since i read "Eldest". imagine my joy when i finally got a hardbound copy of the book.

it's "unputdownable". an-almost-750 pages-book-of-several-events-and-action. i was disappointed though because i expected that this will be the last book. apparently, another book is coming

i like the series, named my car "Saphira" after Eragon's dragon.

nights of rodanthe

i was furious last night when i received an email from such an imbecile officemate. i know that it is best to talk about issues offline rather than the lengthy exchange of emails, but i am only human. and i don't tolerate people getting away when they offend me. no way, i always take my revenge. bad as it sounds, but that's me. i fight. and so, when i woke up this morning. i'm frustrated that i am still angry. i decided to read "nights of rodanthe" to influence some nostalgic effect to the guerilla that i have become.

and as always, Nicholas Sparks inspired and brings out the sentimental side of me. i end up reading the book in one sitting.

i will definitely watch the movie.

"for those who don't believe that love can blossom as quickly as it did for Paul and Adrienne, it can, and it's real as love that takes years to form."

and as for that dumb officemate, i still don't wish him well

of fear & anxiety

i'm disappointed with myself. i didn't expect unforeseen detours.

what i recently read explains what's within me.

"will i ever get rid of fear & anxiety? they say, yes but there is a caveat. we go through periods of fear and anxiety only to come our normal for a time. the caveat lies in our inability to face our fears. if one mope around feeling sorry for one's self then yes progress towards effective anxiety management delays."

but, hey. tomorrow's gonna be a great day. there's no room for feeling sorry for any wrong decision. i won't let my worries get the best of me. no way!

how to climb mountains

from Like the Flowing River

" Be joyful when you reach the top. Cry, clap your hands, shout out loud that you made it; let the wind purify your mind, cool your hot, weary feet, open your eyes, blow the dust out of your heart. What was once only a dream, a distant vision, is now part of your life. You made it, and that is good."

Celebrate Life!

Those who failed to oppose me,

who readily agreed with me,

accepted all my views,

and yielded easily to my opinions,

were those who did me the most injury,

and were my worst enemies,

because, by surrendering to me so easily,

they encouraged me to go too far...

I was then too powerful for any man, expect myself, to injure me.

-Napoleon Bonaparte

to sail

sail to see the sunset of the new horizon;

smell the sweet smells of the sea breeze;

to sail in the serene blue sea

adaptability

in preparation for my job interviews, i have been reading the-so-called-serious-books lately. not fiction this time, maybe while i am busy looking for better opportunity. now, discover your strengths by Marcus Buckingham talks about each person's greatest room for growth which is in the areas of his strengths. and so, i decided to take the exam honestly. this i discover -- one of my strengths is adaptability.

Adaptability - you live in the moment. you don't see the future as a fixed destination. instead, you see it as a place that you create out of the choices that you make right now. And so you discover your future one choice at a time. this doesn't mean that you don't have plans. you probably do. adaptabilitydoes enable you to respond willingly to demands of the moment even pull you away from your plans. you don't resent sudden requests or unforeseend detours. you expect them. they are inevitable. indeed, on some level you actually look forward to them, you are, at heart, a very flexible person who can stay productive when the demands of work are pulling you in many different directions at once.

and as for my applications, i have my final interview tomorrow. if i got this job, it will be a 360 degrees change in environment but a great opportunity for me to grow. let's see.. what will be, will be. sounds Adaptability to me, cheers!

in between

saw this couple in caleruega, batangas

"and where is the line between romantic and delusional?

and how do you know once you cross the set line?

do we live in the world we physically touch?

or do we live in the world created by our minds?"

hold my hand

thea & osh in enchanted

just suppose that shaping and moulding of destiny is one's destiny? and it is the bridge you build to the one you love. when the road seems uncertain, hold my hand. and i am destined to be there for you and hold your hand.
